Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s main argument against the validity of documented NHI events is that the American government couldn’t possibly keep such a profound secret from the American people.

Has he never heard of the Pentagon Papers? The fact that we know the depth of America’s involvement in South Vietnam since the Truman administration is an extreme exception and not the norm.

The fact that the public knows that America was actually trying to contain Chinese influence and not help a “friend” spans back to the Truman administration. It all came to light because of chance events and a whistleblower who knew that he’d spend the rest of his life behind bars.

McNamara allegedly wanted an accurate representation of Vietnam for the DOD historians so he hired a panel of 36 researchers to document America’s involvement in Vietnam from the onset. This ended up uncovering so much American chicanery that it is ostensibly the biggest reason for American mistrust in our military industrial complex.

Johnson lied about his hard stance on sending American boys to Vietnam. He already had plans in motion involving deploying US troops to bomb North Vietnam before the primary. We learned Eisenhower propped up the South Vietnamese president Dien and later, the JFK administration supported and sponsored the South Vietnamese military’s choice to overthrow him after his decisions didn’t align with the American military’s long term plans for South Vietnam.

The fact Daniel Ellsberg didn’t see any time behind bars after leaking the papers to the NYT initially, and other news outlets after the NYT was silenced, was solely because the Nixon administration decided they needed to illegally find dirt by breaking into his psychiatrist’s office.

Not to mention, when the NYT and others were ordered to cease any additional publications on the Pentagon Papers, the freedom of press won by a 6-3 decision in the Supreme Court (New York Times v. United States). With a different Supreme Court spread, we’d have a much more watered down version of the papers.

My point is, our knowledge on America’s involvement in Vietnam came to light by a whistleblower who upon reaching out to the NYT, assumed his life was over. Tyson’s argument holds absolutely no water if you simply look at everything regarding US involvement in Vietnam. And that’s not mentioning WMDs, Tuskegee Experiments and all other shady antics the US has been a part of since the 30s.

I expected better from NDT. The 2004 tic-tac incident has the extraordinary evidence to back the extraordinary claim. I chalk it up to genuine disbelief since it questions the physics dedicated his life to studying. He seems genuine for what it’s worth.
