“It’s under what is termed a Black budget.”

You don’t announce black budget operations on twitter, so that’s easily ruled out.

“Space launches could contain something other than published.”

Okay, but then they would obviously have to NOT contain what was published. So what satellites or cargo shipments to the ISS have mysteriously gone missing so that something else could have been substituted in its place?

We already have things in space that we don’t know about.

How would I differentiate between something that has some legitimate research behind it, and stuff from crazy people?

Various reasons have been given for keeping such highly secret. Some have long felt that the shuttle program was an expensive and dangerous smoke screen that eventually would needlessly cost lives. And it did.

Am inclined to mostly believe Corsi. Hard to discern which specifics might be misinformation or disinformation. By almost all accounts, he believed what he published.

Quite conceivable.

Seriously, folks, you don’t believe the lies of the MSM on anything else—why would you believe the cover stories on this topic.

You would have to go and be all logical about it all!

Sorry, but you can’t hide a space launch, and you can’t hide the numbers to fund a manned space program in the nooks and crannies of a budget either.

Obviously a "lost" $7 TRILLION would only fund a very limited number of exotic 'toys.' /sarc

Sounds like you assume we don't already.

Then there are those who say the Air Force and the Navy have very literally competing space forces--with different uhhh categories of 'allies.' Don't recall such sources or even how convincing they were.

Great question.

My tip would be--read (or listen or view) everything, no matter how crazy you think it is. Read the crazy alien web sites and the crazy debunker web sites.

Trust no-one. Believe no-one, but keep reading.

Then read some more--and learn--and learn some more.

Rinse and repeat--until you die.

Then you will be wise...

Second tip--whenever someone in authority tells you something, your default view should be they are pathological liars trying to scam you.

Consider the exact opposite of what they are saying.

That will point you closer to the right direction.

I would suggest that the reason to doubt what those in authority tell you is because those in authority got and maintain their positions by espousing the "party line"...and that is often in diametric opposition to the truth.

My favorite “big lie” of authority figures is that “conspiracy theories are crazy—it is impossible for that many people to keep a secret.”

Meanwhile every nation in the world, every major corporation in the world, requires classification of national security secrets and trade secrets.

If they didn’t believe a lot of people could keep a secret then what is the point of all of the classification and non-disclosure requirements?

They lie!

Same here. I was listening to Art since high school in the late 90’s because if I could have my girlfriends listen in, they would be scared and I would get “lucky”.

George Noory was the worst. Before the 2008 elections, this idiot shilled for obama for 3 weeks straight. It was nauseating. He was trying to be discreet but that turned me off permanenlty..unless it’s Ghost to Ghost.

I think Trump might be tweaking the higher up swamp dwellers...the ones who dwell in the 13 higher than the president security clearance levels(if there are such and if there are than those levels need to be collapsed for the sake of our republic). They are the ones really pushing for Trump to be thrown out....he wants to know where all the money is going. Such a distortion of secrecy in which the bulk of the legislature and the presidency have to vote on and sign off on things of which they have no real knowledge of is destructive to the nation.

Technology is being hidden that can be useful to the citzens and the economy of this nation but those sociopath termites burrowed away in their federal back offices and secret installations, who think they are gods over all the rest of us,aren’t going to let such tech out for public use....lots of copy cat agent Strzoks running around to the danger of our nation.

(and they keep sending that x37b spaceplane up for months at a time, don’t they?).
