I remember a guy fifty years ago who was really into Von Daniken’S CHARIOTS OF THE GODS.

I believe now Daniken has been proven to be a shyster.

I also remember bookstores in the late 1960s being full of THE LOST CONTINENT OF MU books by Churchward.

As Barnum said “There is a sucker born every minute.”

I think Eric Weinstein is great, but mostly because, as smart as he is, I have seen him say he was wrong about some stuff. Also, he's a principled scientist who refused to bend to academia (MIT) when it started getting Woke.

As an aside, Eric has said that academic/institutional science is gone. It has become politicized. Perhaps it will return sometime in the future.

I will watch that Rogan podcast shortly. Thx for the link.

I subscribe to Rogan's podcasts but skip some of them just because I don't have enough time.

This one is 4 hours long. He started losing me towards the end.

The clip of this one popped up on my YouTube recommended feed.
I watched a small segment then watched the whole thing.

I came down with a head cold last week. The worst days were this past weekend. I spent a lot of time on the couch. I also watched the 2010 Coen brothers version of “True Grit”. Plus “Once Upon a Time in the West” directed by Sergio Leone’s. Starting Henry Fonda, Jason Robards and Charles Bronson. I had never seen either of those prior. Just parts.

Coen Bros’ True Grit is one of my favorites. Haven’t seen Once Upon a Time in the West.

It is supposedly the best western ever made according to the critics. Henry Fonda is the bad guy. Charles Bronson is the good guy.

IMHO, his previous film: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the best western ever made. That or “The Searchers” by John Ford staring John Wayne. Also, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” another John Ford directed John Wayne & Jimmy Stewart.

The Coen brothers have made a lot of good movies.

I watched “Hail, Caesar!” just recently. Another very enjoyable dark comedy about the movie business. All the writers were Commies.

“we can get one of those green aliens into a laboratory and poke some sticks at it.”

They have done it—and have bodies in “museums” well hidden in private contractors.

They think you have no “need to know”.

That is why you don’t know.

The issue is that science was never designed to study intelligent life that does not want to be studied.

Science likes it subjects to be inanimate objects or stupid and obedient biological entities.

Have you read Chris Bledsoe's new book, "UFO of God"? Would love to get your opinion on the Bledsoe account.

It is interesting how the government got so involved with Bledsoe. The forward to the book is even written by Jim Semivan. And the intro is written by Col. John Alexander.

All very fishy.

I wonder if this verse from Luke 21:26 is applicable to this discussion:
Men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

I just got the book—have not read it yet but I am familiar with the son’s (Ryan) podcast:

https://podbay.fm/p/bledsoe-said-so

I do not fully agree with Ryan’s interpretation of the events but I do think that home and property have “Skinwalker Ranch” type activity happening there.

One “out there” UFO commentator claimed that .gov now has the tech to open portals to other dimensions in certain locations that have unique (not that well identified) physical characteristics.

That could explain .gov folks spending time and resources at places like the Bledsoe property.

My issue with all of this—I am not on board with a self-selected elite deciding who gets to know “the good stuff” and who does not—especially when they refuse to invite me to the party!

Bledsoe has come to believe that these beings he is in contact with are divine. He prays to them. There are healings involved. Pretty weird stuff.

The orbs and "beings" don't seem to be place-specific like Skinwalker. When Bledsoe moved, his orbs moved with him.

He's turning this stuff into a religion.

When I first started the book, I thought Bledsoe was a genuinely nice guy. But after a while, it seemed like he was laying the nice guy act on a little too thickly for it to be real.

Please keep me posted. I am interested to hear what you think of this book.

BTW, the apparition he calls "The Lady" seems to be connected to some of the goddess cults of ancient Sumerian/Mesopotamia/Egyptian mythology. He reaches the conclusion, without a shred of evidence, that she's an angel sent by God, hence the title of the book.

I think you know my views on religion.

;-)

I do think the healings are legit—as Arthur Clarke said...

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

I believe in “magic”—because I believe in advanced technology.

Advanced technology is not good or bad—it is the user that is good or bad.

Thank you for corroborating. Gods word is truth and the entrance of it gives light!

As Lue Elizondo said, this stuff may be beyond technology, beyond organic/animal, beyond even magic. It may beyond our ability to comprehend even a hint of what it is. Beyond our ability to contemplate.

It may even be beyond consciousness.

We might be at the level of bacteria in comparison to humans.

I would say secret government projects account for many of the sightings, and then demons. A VERY LARGE “maybe” on aliens that have discovered ways to use wormholes or whatever to transit space. But I really doubt the aliens bit.

Your post reminds me of one of my favorite Terence McKenna comments.

On the issue of time travel he argued that once the time machine was invented it would be the end of time.

He argued that once the machine was in use everything would happen all at once.

That is why I laugh at posts that say that “time travel is impossible”.

It is not “impossible”—but it would create an “impossible” universe—at least not usable by humans anymore.

Many of the UFOs are from days when governments had relatively primitive technology.

Here is one of my favorites:
