Listen to a reading of this article: 1. There's no getting around talking about this UFO stuff. The fact that it's a story is itself a major story. There's no point in trying to look cool by ignoring it, especially given its potentially huge implications in propaganda narratives and the expansion of the US war machine. Nothing with this much public interest that is also being pushed by the Washington political establishment, by military insiders and by the mass media in cooperation with the Pentagon is likely to go away anytime soon. The narrative needs to be engaged, and engaged critically.
The only evidence that ETs may be hostile and dangerous is in the mirror. They may be just like us and be coming to a new world to exploit its resources and enslave its people, just like "we" did. Then again, it seems unlikely that that level of technology could be developed without the species getting over its societal greed, hatred, and ignorance quite a while ago.
The American military establishment is the very last gang I want interacting with an alien intelligence. Imagine sampling a society that relegates their Netanyahus, Cheneys, Boltons, and Clintons to zoo-keepers for the well-being of the universe.
The War party and military needs new "threats" -- arms industry is immensely profitable for ALL players, including politicians and media. Plus -- the War party needs - distractions from our brutal reality and fear.
Note that astronomers are NOT reporting anything ;-))
Two thoughts: 1. We really didn't need yet another acronym; 2. Fear enables a mute populace that's being multiply screwed by its corporate (especially military-industrial) masters. Coming soon: a larger military budget increase for "extra-planetary defense." — the absurdity of which should be obvious when referencing any "alien" technology capable of intergalactic travel. But to the brainwashed militaristic mind, such a course is, unfortunately, not unreasonable.
Thank you for another fine essay. "UFOs are their new Trump" is a great line, narrative destroying insight, and my new bumper sticker.
You likely know that Wernher von Braun (rocket engineer who passed away in 1977) supposedly warned that the powers-that-be had prepared a series of fear/control narratives. After the commie threat would come terrorism, then rogue third world countries, then asteroids. "The alien card is the final card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a lie."
One point of difference. You said the UFO narrative "doesn't actually threaten real power structures in any way." The narrative may not, but if there is any truth to these accounts, it threatens the energy industry. These "ships" are likely not powered by internal combustion engines or lithium-ion batteries.
What's interesting to me is how the official stand on UFO's were to not only to disregard them, but make excuses for them, which is still carrying on today.
I was one of perhaps a handful of viewing participants who managed to key up a sharp and clear video online, which was taken by a very good video camera, and posted of the day of the O'Hare Airport UFO event in 2006, in which the saucer ascended after hovering over the airport, clearly "punching a hole" into a cloud layer as it disappeared. I replayed that vid over and over thinking this is finally the clear proof of what we are dealing with, and perhaps an indication of how its propulsion system works possibly riding on a column of high pressure which did not allow the cloud moisture to return back around it as it moved up through the cloud?
The whole episode was denied by airport "officials" to this day, and that video was seamlessly removed from the net and never seen again. Who and what power could do that kind of thing and how?
Atenção! Achtung! Attention: In the wake of the 20 year anniversary of 9/11, the US is moving to create another distraction in order to validate its future actions. Last time, this caused big destruction to the world. Keep critical thinking up!
Neil DeGrasse Tyson was on Joe Rogan and soent a lot of time patiently suggesting that we might be the victims of an attempt to manipulate the publics attention... Its painful at times, listening to Tyson allow Rogan to 'debate' science with him, but actually a really great Neil DeGrasse Tyson interview, all around. I even think hes maybe into Zizek a little...
Scores of U.S. military personnel have come forward with their UFO testimonies.
The three U.S. Navy UFO videos are real, of course. The FLIR video proves that UFOs are real. The UFO escapes after performing a right-angle manoeuvre.
Here are the latest U.S. government UFO documents:
Since WWII there have been periodic waves of UFO sightings in the USA, waxing and waning. Many a time, while out walking the cat, I've looked to the skies with fond hope of my close encounter with a friendly orange blob gifting a chocolate eclair pour moi and a kibble for my cat. Alas, not even a Twinkie. Maybe I should build a Devil's Tower in my living room. .
Indeed, they are flushing their own credibility, but as long as a significant portion of the population believes it, "...all is well. And all will be well in the garden." And all the gardeners out there will marvel and say, "I like to watch TV."

to my mind, the ruling elite have taken Orwell's book 1984 as their bible, their blueprint for empire
but that's none of my business
Why are they swarming in 🇺🇸 and nowhere else? Hmmmmmm.
