Recently I was looking around on some of the conspiracy UFO kook sites out there (hey don't judge me, it is a hobby, I take it all with a rather large grain of salt but find the theories fascinating) and recently one thing that totally amazed me. When I was looking at very old threads around the 2008/2009 time frame there were a lot of threads that were giddy with the anticipation that Obama if elected and after he was elected would be at the forefront of disclosing the "Truth about UFOs".
Many of the threads said how finally we would have the government's files on UFOs opened up and we would know all about all that crazy area 51 stuff. Because you see the liberals were all suppsedly about "Transparency" and what not and so forth...
Of course the morons that posted such things conveiniently ignore the entire premise of liberal Progresivism: The Progressives want to RUN your LIFE.
So given that there is stuff up in the skies that the government cannot control and a government that wants to control YOUR life, why would they ever disclose that there is stuff flying around up there that they don't have ANY control over if they want to also control YOUR life....
" They want to control our lives, but they cannot control our own skies.... "
The government admitting there is some other force out there screwing with people and abducting Bubba to insert things up his rump like some Chicago Bathouse customer would seriously undermine the entire Liberal Agenda. The agenda of claiming that they are so smart that they can run your life and tell you how to live, what to eat, and how much you can make...
I find it funny that a lot of the people on those threads who whine about disclosure are now somewhat sour and getting more bitter on Obama, some are holding out for their precious savior and thinking he will disclose on his way out in 2016....
Fat Chance, as fat and the first lady after a pizza binge...
Any "Progressive Control Freak Statist" would never disclose jack quat, because admitting there is stuff we cannot control up there would seriously undermine their whole philosophy to their personal power through government by controlling YOUR life.
1942 Battle of L.A is extremely overhyped. It wasn’t anything more than a bunch o jittery AA batteries shooting at nothing.
My grandfather was an air raid warden at the time and the only thing remarkable was that a piece of shrapnel fell close enough to where he could pick it.
There's a time portal (or used to be) located not too far from LAX that he might have used along with others to make the trip.
Maybe the liberals are so "smart" because they are in constant contact with higher beings that really do know what's best for us.
Maybe the reason so many people have shifted so quickly on gay marriage is because a lot more people are being abducted and probed than we thought and they've gotten used to getting reamed.
Perhaps, but there's no reason to believe they aren't viewing our planet as a new fishing spot.........
Ask them if Snowden is in on the UFO coverup since he has not leaked those hidden documents...
I certainly agree with you that the cause isn’t in any doubt, I’m just confused why the federal government was so reluctant to admit any responsibility. It apparently took them until 1983 to admit the truth.
I think that is a flawed assumption.
As an example, when automobiles were first introduced you needed to either, be a mechanic or have a mechanic riding with you. Today, any idiot can drive a car, and some cars will even parallel park for you. Much of the same can be said for airline pilots.
And written in a most entertaining fashion! :^)
Have you read Gordon Cooper's "Leap of Faith"?
Very enlightening. Worth it alone for his scathing and right indictment of U.S. Senator Wm. Proxmire, a Wisconsin Democrat and member of the Budget & Space Committee, who used his influence to de-fund the Saturn rocket program and its Mars mission. Proxmire was so vindictive that he had all of the machinery and tooling for these incredible machines and rocketry, destroyed, perfectly good stuff, so the program couldn't be revived. Cooper really comes down on him and the whole liberal administration that let America's lead in space tech be wantonly trashed.
Cooper's take on UFOs is also interesting.
Yeah and the same thing was supposed to happen when Clinton was elected. Can you imagine an alien landing now in the US and saying, take me to your leader ? My first response would be, are you sure you wanna go there ?
If only Proxmire could have gotten to see the exhaust of a Saturn 5 close up, he might have had a little respect for it, if only a couple of seconds.
People like him would have the rest of us living in mud huts and applying for permits to have fires.
Oh, man, don't get me started -- oops, too late! In the picture-postcard pretty fishing town where I grew up, families and kids had free access to a gigantic dune sandspit separating ocean from bay, for camping or tromping across to go surfing, or whatever. Nobody ever got hurt or in any kind of trouble over there, and it was a great resource for enjoying a pretty place, why not? Today, THEY REGULATE IT OUT OF BOUNDS. Now except for tightly controlled trails, it is "protected" by pistol-packing Fish n Game types. You can't even get a permit to enjoy a natural resource! GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr ...........
Even as a kid of the 70s and 80s, I remember and appreciate how much freer things were in general.
I;m no expert on the matter, but it seems to me that the UFO sects that have sprung up have a distinctly leftist tilt.
[ Cooper’s take on UFOs is also interesting. ]
My take is that there is weird stuff in the sky we can;t explain yet if ever and the government is denying that they cannot do anything about it.
As for the stuff in the sky actually being aliens or whatnot, I will be skeptical until ET gives me a ride in a saucer :)
"Disclosure" is such an arrogant concept it's silly.
BTW, for those of you who still think it's all kooky, look at this NASA film:
Hey, if we all of us here live out long natural lives and the UFO question is as vague when we meet our Maker as it is now, I'll be happy. Skeptics post that graphic, "I want to believe." Hah. Not me. But it isn't about what I do or don't want to believe.
Both our entire political and material worlds would shift so profoundly in a matter of nanoseconds once their "presence" was officially announced -- no going back to yesterday -- that I'd just as soon leave that to future generations. Jesus will be their savior then as surely as He is now.
We've got enough worries.
