Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled “Men in Black” that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: “You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.” So Medvedev was referring to a Russian “documentary film” titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhower’s alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earth’s resources in exchange for advanced technology...

Another UT reading recommendation—thanks!
smash a Window Thanks for the evening lol!
Love it!
LOL! We have been collecting books since before we were married, and after 40
years, we have quite a huge number. We bought bookshelves and they line the walls in
the finished portion of the basement, stacked to the rafters with books, books, books!
The rest of the collection is scattered around the house next to comfy chairs.
Well, I confess that the shelves also hold photos, maps, high-school annuals, a knick
knack or two, and a small shrine to my Rocket, who died August 4, 2012.
Good morning! We have several bookshelves, but when they are full, we don’t buy more books: we decide what we can live without and give some to the library.
Since our Church is doing a new adaptation of "The Cross and The Switchblade" I'm reading "Run, Baby, Run." That's Nicky Cruz's biography.
"I can not live in a world without books."
Our hero celebrates with the National Guard, using the rest of the case of rum.
I cannot book in a world without lives.
A kid’ll eat ivy, too!
Curious, Commander Dflupmort. It seemed to be a collection of writings from a few millennia ago. There was, apparently, a pre-civilized species on this planet. Many of the writings described the end of their world. They had many visions of how it would come to be. Some credited a supernatural being. Some thought creatures like us, from another world, would bring it about. They still had deadly diseases, and some thought a super virus would destroy their kind. Some believed in other dimensions with creatures living parallel lives who would come and end their world.
And what have we discovered about how this race was destroyed?
As far as we can tell, they had developed a highly advanced entertainment network that drew everyone into an enhanced state of idleness. Ironically, they didn't go out fighting the great scourge of their time. They went out too lazy to even get off the couch and make a sammich.
I was wondering where you were. Is Joe OK?
Good morning! 50 degrees, drizzling, and looks like it will continue (the wet part) at least til the middle of next week. Gotta run between the drops to feed the horse. It’s usually a very pleasant hike along the edge of the woods, over the dam past the pond, through the woods....
I used to purge popular works of fiction, but hang onto some texts, martial arts books, cookbooks and journal articles with valuable, non-time sensitive tutorials and information. Before we moved, started scanning stuff into digital library. Now, a lot of the media I used is obsolete. *Sigh*
They offered me chits for more books for almost everything. They paid cash for my Stephen King collection.
King is one sick man. I don't miss those books.
Except for "The Stand." That was actually a good yarn.
I, too, enjoyed “The Stand.” Another one I liked was “The Eyes of the Dragon.” I could read that one again, if I could get it out of storage.
There was a lot of really thought-provoking stuff in "The Stand;" the feminist who realized that feminism didn't make any sense after civilization fell, the bad guy who might have turned to good if he had stopped to think about how his image was changing as he started interacting with others, the good guy who couldn't stop second-guessing himself long enough to really be good, the godly woman who got caught up in her pride and lost her ability to lead. Most of all, the God who doesn't give explanations, just directions and signs.
I guess, once King got under contract, he didn't bother with the stuff that didn't make the money?
I once packed up many of our paperbacks, in 1983, I think, and gave them to the used book store. I still regret it. There isn’t a book in our library that I would want to part with. <— Sorry for ending a sentence with a preposition. I didn’t know what else to end it with. *snicker*
