I would be satisfied with another Ronald Reagan. But I guess that’s too much to hope.
No, Reagan was not a goofy idiot warning the world about the spacemen.

“No, Reagan was not a goofy idiot warning the world about the spacemen.”
He was not goofy, but he certainly did mention, in a press conference, the possibility of an invasion from outer space as a reason he would not abandon SDI, which is what Gorbachev demanded for an agreement.
Look it up if you don’t believe me. We have the internet now.
Oh, wait...it was.
"The Architects of Fear" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 30 September 1963, during the first season.
The world has entered a Cold War-like setting in which nuclear holocaust appears imminent. In the hope of staving off an apocalyptic military confrontation between nations, an idealistic group of scientists working at United Labs plans to stage a fake alien invasion of Earth in an effort to unite all humanity against a perceived common enemy. The scientists have managed to study the planetary conditions on the planet Theta. They draw lots, and physicist Dr. Allen Leighton is chosen to undergo radical surgical procedures that will transform him into an inhabitant from the planet Theta. Leighton's death is faked, and the bizarre series of transplants and modifications to his body proceed. His wife, Yvette, persists in not believing he is dead; she even feels sympathetic pain as Allen suffers on the operating table. Complications arise when the effects of Leighton's transformation extend beyond his physical appearance and begin to affect his mind, a situation compounded by the scientist's strong emotional connection with his now-pregnant wife.
The scientists' plan is for Dr. Leighton, as the Thetan creature equipped with an energy weapon and spaceship, to land at the United Nations in an effort to create initial panic. This panic, in theory, will be resolved as the world unites to fight the invader. Leighton, now a perfect simulation of an inhabitant of the planet Theta, is launched into orbit as a weather satellite, but the mission goes awry when the spaceship comes down off course and lands in a wooded area near the United Labs facility. After disintegrating their station wagon with his laser pistol, Allen is severely wounded by three armed hunters as he emerges from the underbrush. With nowhere else to go, Allen stumbles back to the lab. Yvette, sensing trouble, hurries to the lab looking for her husband. She arrives as Allen, now hideously transformed, enters and collapses to the floor. Before dying of mortal wounds, Allen makes a sign in the air with his hand, one familiar to his wife, and she then realizes the horrifying truth that the alien is, in fact, her husband.
Scarecrows and magic and other fatal fears do not bring people closer together. There is no magic substitute for soft caring and hard work, for self-respect and mutual love. If we can learn this from the mistake these frightened men made, then their mistake will not have been merely grotesque, it would at least have been a lesson. A lesson, at last, to be learned.
I’ve read it, I was alive then and since, and no one thought he was warning us of space alien threats.
Reagan used a common expression of how something outside of humanity that would threaten all of humanity would unify humanity into a common cause.
It is a common way of trying to convince people that we can unify today and have peace today if we just look beyond our differences or arguments.
Reagan was not warning us that Space Aliens are coming.
Henry Kissinger mentored Klaus Schwab.
“I’ve read it, I was alive then and since, and no one thought he was warning us of space alien threats.”
I’m talking about the press conference he gave in Iceland, where, explaining why he refused to cancel SDI, he said it may be needed to protect us from a threat out there, and he waved his arm up. I don’t remember the exact wording, but there was no question as to what he was alluding to.
And Reagan said he saw a UFO when he was flying in a plane.
You mean this, I hadn’t read this before.
“WASHINGTON, DC – Ronald Reagan misled the public when he claimed the “Star Wars” defense system was to protect us from a Russian nuclear attack.
In fact, the space-based system was created to shield America from alien invaders, according to Harold Sprague, author of the upcoming book Dawn of Deception.”
Don’t know anything about that, seems a stretch.
It is what you claimed, the true reason for SDI.
“I’m talking about the press conference he gave in Iceland, where, explaining why he refused to cancel SDI, he said it may be needed to protect us from a threat out there, and he waved his arm up. I don’t remember the exact wording, but there was no question as to what he was alluding to.”

“you claimed the true reason”???
Damn, where do you people come from?
You will notice that I said not a word about a true reason. I was only quoting what Reagan said.
‘
He said SDI was defensive, not a threat, and that he believed the technology could be given to other nations for their own defense. Then he kind of halted, and say: “It could be used to defend us from an invasion from out there.”
“I’m talking about the press conference he gave in Iceland, where, explaining why he refused to cancel SDI, he said it may be needed to protect us from a threat out there, and he waved his arm up. I don’t remember the exact wording, but there was no question as to what he was alluding to.”
Seems clear to me what you said.
In your claim Reagan explained “why he refused to cancel SDI”-—”there was no question as to what he was alluding to”
“In your claim Reagan explained “why he refused to cancel SDI”-—”there was no question as to what he was alluding to””
In my claim??
Yes, that is what I said because that is what Reagan said. But, he did not say that SDI was developed to fight off an alien invasion from outer space, and I did not say that Reagan said SDI was developed to fight off an alien invasion from outer space. Those are entirely separate concepts. Reagan developed it to protect the U S from Russian ICBMs. I have no clue why Reagan added the invasion from outer space as a plus for having SDI. Maybe he knew something we don’t, since he had top security clearance.
And I again ask, where do people like you come from to be so dense? So snotty? What is your problem?
“”””he did mention it as a possiblility when he was negotiating with Gorbachev in Iceland.””””
“”””he certainly did mention, in a press conference, the possibility of an invasion from outer space as a reason he would not abandon SDI, which is what Gorbachev demanded for an agreement.””””

You were generous enough to tell me to go find the proof for your claims on the Internet, where do you people come from?
