Nobody Knows What’s Real
American Thinker ^ | 17 Aug, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 08/17/2025 5:00:16 AM PDT by MtnClimber

There’s no better example of how little faith Americans have that government officials will tell the truth than the public’s blasé reaction to UFO announcements. In the last ten years, The New York Times has run stories about secret Pentagon programs tasked with retrieving alien craft. Members of Congress have held hearings on “mysterious orbs” and invited government witnesses to testify about black budget projects supposedly reverse-engineering alien technology. Secretary of State Rubio and director of National Intelligence Gabbard have both suggested that the UFO issue is serious. Yet eight billion people around the world collectively shrug.

Can you imagine what the public reaction would have been like had national newspapers and prominent officials released similar details in the 1950s? With the 1947 Roswell Incident still fresh in Americans’ minds, government confirmation of UFOs would have been the most important story in the world. Every article written and television report broadcast would have been framed around the alien/UFO phenomenon.

For eighty years, UFO-hunters have been fighting for government declassifications and official disclosure of alien contact. Now that videos of strange sightings have been released and congressional hearings have been convened to investigate the matter, Americans don’t seem to care. Representatives Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna have said explicitly that extraterrestrial visitors are real, and their statements disappear in a blizzard of news stories discussing the “Aryan micro-aggressions” of Sydney Sweeney’s jeans.

Nobody believes what government officials say. Nobody believes what journalists say. In our world today, fantastic stories come and go, and nobody knows if they’re real.

CIA director William Casey reportedly told other principals gathered in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in early 1981, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

Except that leftists seem to believe everything leftist politicians say and everything reported by MSM “journalists”.

I think they’re simply preparing the cover story to explain why millions of people instantly disappeared. They certainly can not call it The Rapture, or say, “God called the faithful home.” That’s right, I said it.

A) God is real.

B) The world has been heavily programmed via science fiction to accept the idea of aliens for the last seventy five years.

C) The two UFOs I witnessed were real enough to me. What they were defies any prosaic explanation however just based on their apparent design and observed performance.

I believe something is going on. IMO, it’s demonic activity preparing the world with an explanation for all the missing people at the rapture.

Of course, it could be actual aliens. We don’t know what we don’t know. God created us on Earth. Who’s to say He didn’t create other similar-but-not-matching worlds?

I think demons.

Evolution didn’t/can’t happen here

or on any other planet

evolutionary processes are effectively impossible, probabilities less than 1 and 10 to the power 200 for abiogenesis, 1 and 10 to the power 600 for new genes.

/

In mathematics, the size of the probabilities numbers that big are known by the technical term

ABSURD.

(In mathematics, “absurd numbers” can refer to irrational numbers, especially those that are also transcendental, or to uncomputable numbers. These are numbers that are difficult to grasp or express within the familiar systems of numbers. )

Therefore

There are no aliens

There ARE entities that are interacting with world governments

They are interdimentional fallen angels and Nephiliam telling the BIG LIE.

of note, it’s reported they say THEY CREATED us

and folk will believe THEY created us, but God didn’t

They fail the irony test biggly.

One could ponder if we are the only life forms here on earth why was the universe made so large. Our own galaxy is very roughly estimated to have 100 billion stars and beyond that there are 100 billion galaxies. Multiply 100 billion by itself and you get a staggering number of star systems. A mystery we may only know when we get to the other side.

It's not so much what you don't know that will get you in trouble. It's what you know that ain't so.

It is almost time for the clear high resolution videos to be released because....

AI will have gotten good enough that most people will think they are fake—and it will be impossible to convince them otherwise.

Evolution is change over time, Denial is intellectual incompetence.

The article is incorrect.

No, I don’t trust the government. Never did. Never will.

However, every old pilot I ever met had seen them.

I appreciate the limited disclosure that some in Congress have been trying to force.

I don’t know what they are but they are not human.

They could be a threat to the existence of humanity. Unfortunately, I doubt tha t our actions have inspired any confidence.

There is a great deception coming that will turn a lot of Christians away from God.

I posted a comment on Youtube the other day and was accused of being AI.

And not too long ago, I posted an AI comment here on FR to demonstate how AI (ChatGPT, to be exact) would analyze something and was called a liar, insinuating that I, not AI, had written it.

You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Yup—many folks have a deep confusion about what AI is and what it is not.

They are equally confused about humans are and are not.

Lol.
