O, yes, how could I omit that! ?

UFO, UAP, Aliens, and possible obductions.
World Wide, and especially in America?
I was wondering when this subject will come up.

My take:
America is best armed country in the World, with its Army, Navy, air force, national guard, and best (quantitatively) armed population in the World.
And nobody ever shot down an UFO, or killed an extraterrestrial alien?
This can not be.
Alien ship lands in some rural farm in mid west, aliens come out, and farmer just dont have a rifle on hand? In last 100 years?
This can not be.

Nor Yeti, Skunk Ape, Sasquatch or Big Foot

Seriously though, I don’t a trust a thing deep state stooges and chronic liars like Mayorkas say.

Aluminum, it’s all aluminum. If you concentrate to much aluminum in any particular area you will pull down UFOs and tornadoes from the sky. Trailer parks are a classic example. To much aluminum can lower your intelligence and moral values. The Jerry Springer show was a parade of those affected with aluminum poisoning. I drink beer from a bottle rather than a can and am a pillar of my community. The first aircraft capable of flight had an aluminum engine. I hope this clarifies things. This is not a smear campaign against titanium, I think you guys are OK.

Remember what?

I just went to the kitchen and forgot why. Looked for my phone back tracking to possibly why I walked into the kitchen and couldn't find my phone for 10 minutes before I realized it was in my hand.

That made me feel better - thought for a while I was the only one.

I watched ‘Reagan’ last night. A key quote that we could all learn from, particularly our politicians, ‘someone who agrees with you eighty percent of the time is eighty percent your friend, not twenty percent your enemy’. I’ve likely butchered it, but you get the idea.

Meanwhile back at the front - The Russian Army was caught flat footed when Ukraine seized part of the Kursk region of Russia last August and September. Putin, of course, vowed it would be taken back immediately. Some 40,000 Russian casualties later in just that region - including the destruction of at least a third of the North Korean troops Putin begged from his fat little North Korean counterpart, the Ukrainian Army has resumed offensive operations in Kursk over night. Currently, US DOD and British MOD estimates put the total Russian casualty rate (KIA, WIA, MIA) north of 1500 personnel a day theater wide.

It is unclear whether these are local attacks to stabilize defensive positions and regain ground lost in the abortive Russian counter attacks this fall, or a more general offensive to gain new ground. The lads over on Telegram are panicking a bit, and Moscow seems more than a little concerned.

I drink gin from Ti thimbles and have woven Ti undies to give me additional backup on heavy BS days when my tinfoil hat just isn't cutting it.

With all this talk of secret technologies, government coverups, what government's will or will not do, what capabilities do or do not exist, etc. I felt that I should participate (perhaps my duty to participate????hahaha ) to this chaos by reminding everyone that the CIA was very interested in Remote Viewing, or at least wanted people to think they were very interested in Remote Viewing (insert Unsolved Mysteries theme song).


Link to the stuff that's been FOIA'd on the subject.....

This is true, the CIA did this nonsense, much of it with the help of Stanford and other prestigious universities.

In a sister program, they studied spoon bending and telepathy as a weapon too.

What you don’t hear in the media is who these psychics actually were. The CIA hired the “Amazing Randi” the famous magician and debunker of the 1980s to provide advice. He gave honest advice on controls to prevent being scammed.

In addition, the CIA unknowingly hired Randi’s protégés into the program and every week they would discuss how the experimenter controllers wanted to believe so badly, they kept creating weak experiments.

It was all a sham, the subjects were often amateur magicians, the advisor was Randi, and the government and academia wanted to believe so bad they got duped.

It’s a very funny story covered in the documentary “an honest liar” and in a number of books. I believe the Clooney movie “the men that stare at goats” was a mockery of yet another debunked program of the same era.

I really enjoyed how the Reagan movie was told from the Russian analyst lens. He warned USSR leaders for decades that this actor was a threat. Then this governor is a threat. No one listened.

And how even before Reagan was governor. He understood that the USSR economy could not Sustain a prolonged arms race.

Reagan had Gorbachev by the short hairs and giving up nukes if Reagan would abandon “Stars Wars”. Reagan didn’t want a halt to the arms race until they were completely broke. So turned down the nuke deal with Gorbachev.

For a dumb actor his decades long strategy (he thought of it while still acting) worked pretty well.

Against all the experts in politics advice he didn’t take the Reykjavík nuke deal. And he was bluffing the whole time. There was no “Star Wars” technology. Yet

I’ll be standing by waiting for your post

I’m going to post a couple of links with commentary.

You have an obvious bias towards police officers. Somewhat understandable given your profession. Me, I don’t trust anyone with a badge given my experiences. To me police officers are the high school bullies that became cops when they graduated high school and failed college and recent cases tends to bear that out.

Our criminal justice system is biased in favor of the badge toters and I find this wrong. If anything it should be biased in favor of the defense because the burden of proof rest on the prosecution. The system is corrupted due to a lack of accountability. We need to abolish qualified immunity and hold law enforcement to that supposed “higher standard” they are seldom held to.

BTW: I’m for maximum sentencing of repeat offenders but I also believe all your rights should be restored after you’re “off paper” for a felony conviction.

Can’t locate the second video I saw and posted the same video twice. I’ll continue looking for the second video and post it when I find it.

A simple question then - why is crime so rampant and increasing in 'soft on crime' jurisdictions?

I’m not soft on crime.

I’m pro Constitution. Most soft on crime jurisdictions are anti Constitution. What I am is Anti Bad Cop.

Violating the Constitution makes one a Bad Cop. My rights are more important than the life of any badge toter.
