WHY would a serious journalist like Peter Jennings tackle a silly subject like UFOs? Maybe it's because 40 million Americans can't be wrong. It turns out that 40 million of us have claimed to have seen UFOs, while half yes, half of all Americans believe in their existence < snip >
So, why, if millions of people have seen UFOs, are the eyewitnesses immediately reduced to the level of raving loonies (from "lunar")? Interestingly enough, that is the legacy of another successful government PR campaign < snip >
The feds thought they could keep a lid on UFO sightings and keep a budding worldwide panic under control by making witnesses look crazy. Yes, it seems you could fool all of the people all of the time < snip >
Good for Jennings for reaching for the stars!

Weenie of the Week
Free Republic
11/14/97 Doug from Upland
NOTE: This is the fourth installment of WEENIE OF THE WEEK for FreeRepublic. We have been proud to honor Robert Bennett, Susan Webber Wright and Loretta Sanchez as previous Weenies. Each week we will choose an appropriate "WEENIE OF THE WEEK." Although the choice is the author's, your e-mail suggestions are welcome."WEENIE OF THE WEEK"
In the late 1940's there were strange lights and strange happenings in the skies over Roswell, New Mexico. Many people believe that aliens crash landed their craft and died here on earth. For the first time, we are able to reveal that a small amount of the alien equivalent of human male seminal fluid was harvested from one alien shortly before he died. Several years later it was implanted in a human female, and the result was an experiment gone terribly wrong. The result was something which looked somewhat human. It had little hair, eyes close together, drool constantly coming out of the side of its mouth, hands waving wildly, and head moving back and forth with a disgusting smirk. Now approximately 43 earth years of age, this despicable character is the WEENIE OF THE WEEK. His name is Creekoway Yakbaht. Oh, I'm sorry. You know him better by his earth name, Chester James Carville.
Writing this week for "Salon I," Chester was whining about those people who would have the audacity to look into the background of political consultants. He apparently thinks such inquiry is patently unfair. Poor Carville has been ..."troubled by the increased scrutiny of consultants' private lives." Oh, really. Chester further contends that his private life has no effect on the client who pays his salary.
May we please have the clarity to call Carville exactly what he is --- a political hitman. What is his job? If someone comes forward to reveal damaging information about William Blythe Clinton (I have chosen to omit Jefferson from the name), his job is to attack the messenger to try to discredit the message. Sharline Wilson testified before the Saline County grand jury that she provided cocaine to the governor of the state of Arkansas. He was so loaded one night that he "slid down the wall and fell into the garbage can." To attack this kind of messenger was a snap. She was a drug dealer. Anything she had to say about Clinton had no validity. Congressman Dan Burton shot a watermelon in his back yard which represented the head of Vince Foster as Burton was trying to analyze what really happened to poor Foster. So, of course, Burton is a right wing whacko. Despite the fact that he had a copy of the wire transfer in which the Arkansas Development Finance Authority laundered almost $50 million offshore to the Cayman Islands, we can't trust anything he says. Forget the wire transfer and other evidence. Destroy the messenger to destroy the message. And he has so far been successful. There are enough gullible people who are guided by their own agendas, who have no character of their own, who are on the public dole and who are just plain too stupid to understand what is happening. The Democratic Party thrives on dependent, helpless, stupid and foolish people.
Several years ago, a real hero named Jean Lewis blew the whistle at the RTC on the fraud at Madison Guaranty. Clinton cronies illegally seized information from her computer in which Lewis had made some unkind, albeit true, remarks about Clinton. Despite the fact that she testified under oath, she could not be trusted to tell the truth. Unlike those who have covered Clinton's posterior, Lewis did not repeat the mantra of "I have no direct recollection of that." She was forthcoming and remembered everything.
The most vicious attacks have been on Paula Jones. They had to be because she had the potential for incredible damage. How could Clinton survive if people actually learned the truth that he was a womanizing, pants-dropping, degenerate pervert. Even the soccer moms might be upset by that. Maybe not. Had he not been the governor, Jones could have called the police and had the man arrested for indecent exposure. That's exactly what it was. Although purposefully mischaracterized by feminist defenders as a simple offer and refusal which was not repeated, the spin cannot lessen the perversity of what happened. What if Pete Wilson or George Pataki had done what Clinton did? The press and women's groups would have gone ballistic. And they should have. Who could Paula tell? She couldn't tell the police because they were in on it. So slimebag Chester attacks her reputation. He paints a picture of Jones as trailer trash chasing a twenty dollar bill. Why didn't feminists have a hissy fit over that one?
So Cheekoway Yakbaht, WEENIE OF THE WEEK, drag a Kradonian delfoy through the moons of Meepzorb and you never know what you'll find. We know that you'll find a half-alien creature described by his earthling wife as "serpent head."
FWIW,
reportedly there are 3-4 DIFFERENT ways around the supposed speed of light 'problem.'
Some ET's have supposedly been heard to laugh derisively when questioned about that 'problem.'
Wellllllllllllll
given that Almighty God has said that HE is rearing the rulers to rule and reign with Christ over evidently countless galaxies and endless ages via this boot-camp here . . .
it's quite plausible that such would be sufficient reason for 70+ different ET races to be observing and dinking around with the whole show.
The SR-71 was "announced" by LBJ in 1964 or thereabouts. It had only been flying for about 3 years at that point, and had been seen by numerous people in that time.
THANKS.
VERY, VERY EXCELLENT EXAMPLE of why UFO folks are classed as loonies in our culture. The disinformation/ridicule methods and dynamics have been VERY successful.
But it presents a bit of a problem for the puppet masters when they need to change their story.
Let's see now, the Dims seemed to have been frozen out of the UFO secret. Clintoon's Web Hubbell and John Podesta have actively tried to find the "truth" about UFOs. The "secret government" has shut out the DUmmies because they cannot be trusted? </tinfoil off>
For the record, I believe we are not alone in the universe and tend to believe that we have been visited. At least, I am very open to the idea.
I knew that.
Thanks.
You and others are always invited to share things via FREEPMAIL--for my files and/or for anonymous sharing if that might be a preference.
Much appreicate your kind response and many patriotic posts.
reportedly there are 3-4 DIFFERENT ways around the supposed speed of light 'problem.'
I am familiar with the ways around the theory. All are strictly theoretical and usually involve restrictive amounts of energy, in exess of all energy expended by the entire universe over the course of its predicted lifetime.
Some ET's have supposedly been heard to laugh derisively when questioned about that 'problem.'
Its entirely possible that some intelligence from some other planet has laughed during discussions of speed of light travel, they have just never laughed about it here.
I don't see it as my goal or task to provide proof.
I collect puzzle pieces.
My relative who worked around them was proof enough for me.
And that was BEFORE I collected vast amounts of confirming puzzle pieces.
It's not my fault that you are handicapped by lack of such a relative or close friend who worked around such craft.
It's not my fault that you have an addiction for a TYPE II error.
It's not my fault that you enjoy being derisive of folks who have reason to believe differently than you do.
It's not my fault that you choose to ignore tons and tons of very fascinating puzzle pieces not so honestly given to being so glibly dismissed as you pretend.
Enjoy your presumed super rationalism. It won't protect you forever from the true facts in this field.
Our "smartest" president (BJ) has said that when took office two things he wanted to know the truth about: the JFK assassination and UFOs.
Its entirely possible that some intelligence from some other planet has laughed during discussions of speed of light travel, they have just never laughed about it here.
Ahhhhhh, and you would have us believe that you have been in every deep underground secret room in every super secret base where such discussions have taken place at the moment of every such conversation??? Believing that would be sillier than believing in UFO's by an extremely wide margin.
Fingers out of cheek.
It must be true! I watched the X-Files for the 9 years that it was on and this sounds vaguely familiar!!!
Impressive.
/sar
I'm sorry, but until you, or any other being, can provide a SINGLE IOTA of proof, I will continue to dismiss your crackpot theories.
If that means I'm addicted to some Type II psychosis or whatever the hell you're babbling about, I'll happily remain that way.
Say hello to Mork for me.
I don't know. James Carville looks Martian to me.
Yeah, a really ugly one.
