During the first White House press briefing under the new Trump administration, an answer was finally provided on what those SUV sized drones were doing over the east coast for weeks in November and December.
Trump previously said that the Biden regime knew exactly where the drones were coming from and what they were doing, despite officials like Johnny Kirby and Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly claiming that the government had no idea who was operating the drones.
Turns out Trump was right. Again.
The new White House Press Secretary Karloline Leavitt announced that the drones were authorised by the FAA for “research and various other reasons.”
“This was not the enemy,” Leavitt added, giving the first confirmation that the aerial vehicles do not belong to a hostile state.

WHY DID BIDEN LIE? WHY NOT JUST TELL US THAT? pic.twitter.com/rTTnOhdZHL
Presumably, more details will be forthcoming.
For now, this raises the simple question, why did Biden and other assorted minions directly lie to the American people and obfuscate on the issue?
Ruling by fear instead of transparency – why did they needlessly scare everyone https://t.co/c4PCsAiX7S

Why did they allow rampant speculation to run rife, leading people to start panicking and suggesting there was some sort of nuclear emergency going on?
Some people were even trying to shoot the drones down.
You’re welcome to everyone who blasted me for saying it was a government op. I will graciously accept your apologies https://t.co/dy8fNzmU7J

Why did they allow the likes of China to laugh at Americans engaging in a ‘delusion’ that they were under attack?
Was the public reaction to the drones part of the ‘research’?
Karoline Leavitt confirms that the drones over New Jersey were all authorized by Biden’s FAA to fly for “research purposes”.

Unclear what that research is, but given the silence from the Biden admin and all the money New Jersey itself wasted to figure out where they were coming… pic.twitter.com/wVikOAH3eh
The text after the cut off reads…
Unclear what that research is, but given the silence from the Biden admin and all the money New Jersey itself wasted to figure out where they were coming from, and the media’s attention towards it, one can only assume that the “research” was psychological in nature.
Perhaps they were trying to track who the disseminators of the drone scare were and how the information spread through the media, social media, and word of mouth. Perhaps they were gauging the public’s response to it. Or perhaps—and maybe in addition to all of the previous scenarios combined—it was intended to serve as a distraction to Biden and Kamala’s mistakes during the campaign. Who can really tell?
If true, that actually just proves how corrupt the Biden administration was. they kept secrets just because they could keep the population in fear even though there was nothing nefarious going on. They just wanted the fear.

Kinda feel like the Biden admin should have come out and said that instead of letting hysteria ensue.

Maybe it was supposed to be like Covid. Spark mass hysteria and steal the election while the world is losing its mind?
Except no one really panicked.
Eh… seems like there are better explanations. Who knows. Damn lying government!
Yep, they were looking for a dirty bomb.
Godly trump will tell all,correct. Except he didn’t say anything. Lol such BS.
For someone who doesn’t like the USA nor trump you’re on here quite often complaining yet you are actually correct on his non answer.
