Can't wait to see how the government spins this!

They deny everything! They even deny the existence of the program ... The coverup is HUGH! But I'm given to understand that the whole thing is being run out of an old, converted missile-silo complex. Those were designed to withstand a nuclear attack ... and many of them are still off-limits.

God to Nick:
1. Who said you qualified as intelligent life?,
2. Who said that your views define the universe?, and
3. News flash - I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT!

I hope so, too. We already have enough illegal aliens dropping in on us.

At least 30 years too late.

contracts were signed decades ago.

Of course, the ET’s broke them . . .

They LIKE abducting . . . implanting . . . raping . . . mutilating humans . . . for some unknown reason(s).

And the government essentially seems unable to do anything about it.

Governments are not popular when it becomes known that they can’t perform the basic function of keeping their people safe.

Besides, they love the devil’s agreement that results in technology for the greedy globalists in charge of such things.

No time to wade through all the disinformation and propaganda?

Lots of assumptions . . .

little adequate frame of reference or perspective to even begin to assess reasonably accurately

how off the wall such assumptions may or may not be.

Arrogance on the part of very limited, very constrained observers does not automatically translate into lofty knowledge no matter how convinced the observers are that they are jr gods with reality well understood and measured.

We all see through the glass very darkly and very feebly.

Notions to the contrary are at best grossly overblown.

Top Men

Of course ... you might call their efforts one last crusade.

No time to wade through all the disinformation and propaganda?

If there is disinformation, it's the government using space monster conspiracy buffs to cover up their new air force technology. And they didn't reverse engineer the planes from space monsters. Space monsters can fly through wormholes, while our shuttle can't re-enter the atmosphere more than once without a multi-million dollar overhaul. If that's space monster technology, the space monsters had better go back to the drawing boards.

You seem to think that the deadly shuttle is more than a smoke-screen.

No, it was the best we could do at the time, since we don’t have space monster ships to reverse engineer from.

Tooo many credible, plausible people say otherwise, imho.

They should produce the evidence they have, in that case.

You can imagine the challenges and fears and hazards in doing that.

But you can check out the DISCLOSURE PROJECT at Dr Greer’s site and see what you think.

No it wasn't.

The peanut farmer president demanded that it be made of aluminum, not the titanium the engineers called for.

The Columbia and its crew would have survived the tile failure without the great Jimmuh Carter's 2¢ worth of engineering expertise.

Carter. The gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving...
