When using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) in my personal time, I often turn toward films as a source for daily practice. Addressing movies in particular, I stated in Believability: Conflating Believing With Knowing – Flooding the Zone (6/17/2026):

Whereas a belief is a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing, regarding UFOs [unidentified flying objects] and UAPs [unidentified anomalous phenomena, I remain agnostic (a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality is unknown and probably unknowable). Related to this matter, one source states:

The United States [U.S.] government’s recent release of hundreds of previously classified [UAP] cases spanning the 1940s to the present, along with the new Steven Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day [2026], about extraterrestrial life [colloquially “aliens”], has fueled the idea that aliens are visiting Earth. In fact, polls in Australia, the US and elsewhere indicate around a third of the public believes aliens are here.

As a fan of Spielberg’s films Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and War of the Worlds (2005), I enjoy an alien flick as much as others who believe in extraterrestrial life. However, I remain agnostic regarding the existence of aliens.

Perhaps ignorantly (in a manner that is ignorant—lacking of knowledge, education, or awareness), many people conflate (to bring together) believing with knowing (having or reflecting knowledge, information, or intelligence) in regard to UFOs, UAPs, and aliens.

Simply because one trusts or has confidence in the existence of something doesn’t mean that one may be aware of the truth or factuality of something. Often, I find many of the recent claims of UFOs, UAPs, and aliens to be unfalsifiable (not capable of being proved false).

When I posted that blog entry two days ago, I hadn’t seen Disclosure Day. Now, I have. Summarizing the plot, one source states:

Are we alone in the universe?

Dr. Danny Kellner knows the answer to that question. And he wants everyone else to know it, too. But not everyone shares Danny’s desire for total transparency. Chief among them, Wardex, his old para-government employer.

Wardex was created to keep certain, shall we say, extraterrestrial interests strictly confidential. And those in charge are willing to kill to keep it that way.

Despite the danger, Danny and his fellow Wardex defectors are determined to deliver the truth to the world. Danny has the evidence, but that’s only one piece of the puzzle. The other lies with Margaret Fairchild, a Kansas City weather anchor who recently acquired some shocking abilities—not the least of which was becoming a sparkling conversationalist in a mysterious, alien language.

A language only Danny can understand.

By working together, can Danny and Margaret reveal the truth about extraterrestrials to the world? Or will Wardex bury the secret—and them with it?

Full disclosure? That’s the idea.

As I practice REBT, I remind myself not to rely upon absolutism by unhelpfully labeling people, things, or otherwise as good, bad, and so forth. As an example, Emily Blunt played the role of Margaret Fairchild in Disclosure Day. To me, she’s an attractive woman.

However, I don’t maintain that Blunt is absolutely or objectively attractive to everyone. After all, there are likely to be many people who consider her subjectively unattractive. Similarly, I try not to appraise of evaluate in this regard, so I don’t declare that Blunt is a good or bad actor.

While practicing REBT, I also take personal responsibility and accountability (collectively “ownership”) for my own outcomes. For instance, without use of unhelpful conditions, I accept personal ownership of the fact that not everyone shares my point of view, and nor must they!

Given this framing of the matter, I was subjectively bored while watching Disclosure Day, though I don’t maintain that the film was absolutely or objectively boring. For me, cognitive reframing of this sort has required lots of practice, as I often make the mistake of labeling.

Alas, I’m a fallible human being! Similarly imperfect, Disclosure Day used a modified form of the Magical Negro—a trope in U.S. cinema, television, and literature by which a black supporting stock character comes to the aid of the (usually white) protagonists in a film.

Although the character of Hugo Wakefield wasn’t imbued with ethereal powers, to me, his function in Disclosure Day served as an infantilizingly common trope used in moviemaking. I wonder when Hollywood, et al. will stop treating black people as saviors of white people.

In any event, I wasn’t fond of this Spielberg film. Still, I wanted to take away a psychoeducational lesson that could be shared with others. What I came up with was an example of psychological operations, about which one source states:

Psychological operations (PSYOPs) are military operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their motives and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and large foreign powers.

The purpose of [U.S.] psychological operations is to induce or reinforce behavior perceived to be favorable to U.S. objectives. They are an important part of the range of diplomatic, informational, military and economic activities available to the U.S. They can be utilized during both peacetime and conflict.

As a matter of self-disclosure, I previously worked with or for the U.S. Departments of Defense, State, Energy, and Veterans Affairs. Additionally, I’ve augmented the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, as well as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

While working as a Marine Security Guard, I unwittingly supported operations of the Central Intelligence Agency (“spooks”). Also, my highest security clearance was Top Secret with Q access. Given that I have lived experience with PSYOPs, I didn’t learn about them from films.

It’s with this understanding that I note Disclosure Day featured multiple media outlets disseminating information about aliens (i.e., on “Disclosure Day”). Journalists, news anchors, and the like were thus portrayed as bravely shedding light on a para-governmental cover-up.

I imagine that creators of Disclosure Day hold members of the media in high regard. Yet, I don’t. These fallible human beings often serve the purpose of PSYOPs—which aren’t strictly limited to military operations. Spooks have been spreading disinformation since Operation Mockingbird.

Disinformation is false information deliberately and often covertly spread, as by the planting of rumors, in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth. While the media was favorably represented for its sharing of information in the film, that’s not how life actually tends to work.

For instance, Edward Snowden was persecuted as a whistleblower. Julian Assange was mistreated as a publisher. Richard Medhurst continues to be wronged as an independent journalist. Meanwhile, political commentators like Rachel Maddow are usually favored.

Understandably, what I’m stating herein may sound like a so-called conspiracy theory (a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators). Therefore, allow me to provide a pragmatic example.

Much like the brave news anchors who disseminated information about aliens in Disclosure Day, Maddow ostensibly championed the PSYOP that was colloquially known as Russiagate (the allegation that the Russian government meddled in the 2016 U.S. general election).

Perhaps many people were enticed to believe that a foreign entity was responsible for results with which many people in the U.S. were dissatisfied. However, per my understanding of this matter, the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation didn’t affirm the allegation.

All throughout this PSYOP, members of the media dis-informed U.S. citizens about foreign interference with our nation’s affairs. Currently, I haven’t observed similar interest in detailing how Israel has conducted itself in an arguably far worse manner than the boogeyman of Russia.

Granted, the New York Times admitted that the “Pentagon sees [a] growing espionage threat from Israel.” Nevertheless, there isn’t near the amount of coverage regarding Israel lobbyists and U.S. politicians, or Israel being intertwined with U.S. intelligence and military operations.

Rather, most media sources appear to favor U.S.-Israel relations rather than accurately reporting about the ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes in which both nations have been involved. Where are the brave members of the media, as depicted in Disclosure Day?

During the previous presidential administration, many of them were too busy interviewing President Joe Biden, inquiring about his favorite flavor of ice cream. During the current administration, they simply complain about President Donald Trump’s mere existence.

Where’s the adversarial journalism? Both of these presidents oversaw the aforementioned acts which violate U.S. Constitutional law and international law. Where is the heroic media to shed light on the atrocities in which the U.S. and Israel engaged, constituting terroristic behavior?

Staying true to my claim about not appraising or evaluating people, I’m outright declaring that the U.S. and Israel as nations have engaged in behavior which may be defined as terrorism (the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims)!

When is “Disclosure Day” about this matter? While further contemplating this topic, I’m reminded of “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, a narrative poem by Lewis Carroll that appears in his book Through the Looking-Glass, published in December 1871.

Per one source, “The poem tells the story of a walrus and a carpenter who meet on a beach and decide to go for a walk. They come across a group of oysters, and the walrus persuades them to come with them. The oysters follow the walrus and the carpenter, and they are eventually all eaten.”

The poem is recited in chapter four, by Tweedledum and Tweedledee to Alice. I first became aware of the poem when watching Alice in Wonderland (1951) in childhood. As it regards this blogpost, one stanza of the poem states:

The Walrus and the Carpenter

Were walking close at hand;

They wept like anything to see

Such quantities of sand:

If this were only cleared away,’

They said, it would be grand!’

The characters of the Walrus and the Carpenter have been interpreted in many ways. I view Israel as the calculating Walrus and the U.S. as the irrationally-minded Carpenter. Walking along sands of the Middle East, both nations are apparently trying to clear away perceived obstacles.

Meanwhile, the little oysters represent media outlets. They willfully trot alongside the Walrus and the Carpenter, as their credibility is ultimately sacrificed and they’re consumed by the falsehood of PSYOPs. There you have it! There’s your “Disclosure Day.”

Unlike the unfalsifiable claims depicted in Disclosure Day, as talk of UFOs, UAPs, and aliens may be little more than a distraction from the mayhem of Israel and the U.S., the disclosure I’ve addressed by an appeal to “The Walrus and the Carpenter” is at least verifiable.

Now, members of the media, why not begin the verification process? In the meantime, for those readers who seek a psychoeducational lesson, I offer you knowledge about PSYOPs. Will you trot alongside the Walrus and the Carpenter, or will you see through their disinformation?
