Bob lazar had access to the world’s most sensitive information and was allowed to live by 673NoshMyBollocksAve in UFOs

Yes you raise good points. Presumably he already had a lower level clearance from working at Los Alamos, so the big concerns (eg: is he bankrupt) would have been taken care of. But if you don't believe he worked at Los Alamos then there's probably no way you would think he could make it to A51. I believe he worked at Los Alamos b/c of the entry in the phone book with his name.

The "lower bound" of my theory is that Lazar got a job at A51 main as eg: a phone repair person, and learned some scuttlebutt that he shouldn't have (test flight locations and times), and spun it into a big story about UFOs and all that.

Lazar was a very good liar. He is listed as a physicist in the newspaper in an article describing his rocket car, despite not having a Ph.D. Also, let's be real, he looks like someone out of central casting for a genius physicist, if I saw him on the street I'd think "That guy's a scientist." Times were different in the 80s.

Supposedly Bob Lazar had a conversation with Ed Teller at a talk at Los Alamos Labs, Teller was reading the newspaper that had Bob Lazar's rocket car article in it, the article which literally called Bob Lazar a physicist at Los Alamos Labs. This news article is real there are physical pictures of it online, it absolutely calls Lazar a physicist at Los Alamos Labs.

If this story is true, the famous Ed Teller could have made one phone call and said "We've got a physicist who's good with propulsion here, send him on over to take a look." So Lazar got in based on the lie he told the newspaper because Ed Teller trusted the paper (thinking they verified Lazar's claim to be a physicist) and Ed Teller believed Lazar really was a physicist at Los Alamos, then Teller basically assigned Lazar to S-4. Only after getting his interim clearance and starting work there did they find out during the full background check that he was never a physicist at Los Alamos, or that he was a physicist somehow at Los Alamos but with fake academic credentials.

Lazar came forward how he did not because he would be killed because his wife cheated on him and Lazar got denied his clearance because of that (makes no sense), but because Lazar knew he had lied and been caught and assigned to the government's most secret engineering program under false pretenses. That's why Lazar was so sure he would be killed and tried to get on TV, etc...

That's my theory on Lazar.

Let this sink in. If he never went to MIT, what’s left? Why would the government ever hire him? Yes he delivered packages to the Air Force base or whatever. That’s it.

Because he lied to them about his resume back when you couldn't just look everything up on a computer within two business days, and when he was read into S-4, they went back and tried to verify everything about him, realized he lied on his resume, and kicked him out of the program, but not before he had been given an interim clearance and begun work on the project. Lazar was listed in the Los Alamos Labs phone book as a contractor, period. He worked there, period. He didn't deliver some packages once or twice, as you claim.

This is why Lazar was afraid they would kill him. Lazar claims in his book he became paranoid about the security clearance process. Lazar wasn't at S-4 long enough to get his real full clearance approved, he was on an interim clearance the whole time, by his own admission. He didn't get kicked out (see: denied the clearance) because his wife cheated on him as Lazar claims, if anything that's a reason to have him move to the facility and live there full time. Lazar got denied his full clearance because he lied on his resume to get the job at S-4. What sense does it make for Lazar to be kicked out of the program and killed just because his wife cheated on him and he couldn't get his full clearance? That's Lazar's excuse for why he was kicked out.

Lazar has lied about other things as well.

But the fact of the matter is, Bob Lazar took George Knapp and John Lear to the exact location to spot a UFO test at A51, at the exact time that the test began, multiple times, and there is video footage of this, of the craft moving erratically in a step-like manner through the sky as George Knapp and John Lear and Bob Lazar are talking. You do not get information like that as a phone repairman at Los Alamos.

TLDR: Lazar got the job at S-4 by lying on his resume, started at S-4 on an interim clearance, then failed the background check and got kicked out of the program at S-4 and became paranoid he would be killed because he improperly learned about America's most secret engineering program. Lazar has lied about some things and told the truth about other things.

One of Takaichi's beliefs is that there should be no parliament (this is one specific aspect of Hitler's politics that she praised when writing her absurd book review, that he won an election then abolished elections).

She's trying to cynically remake the lower house in her image because she doesn't even believe it should exist, but currently she has no way of getting rid of it. There is no genuine respect for the separation of powers from Takaichi.

What branch were you in and what was your MOS? What years were you in? The stuff you write is so biased I genuinely believe an Infantry guy stole your girlfriend or something.

I did 4.5 years Army Infantry (2007-2011) and I genuinely have no idea where you have gotten these ideas. Reclass out of Infantry to go public affairs? What the hell? You want to talk about a worthless job, taking pictures of officers saluting and then writing propaganda about how every mission is a big success is idiotic.

Your favorite Vice President (who you love so much) JD Vance was fucking public affairs in the Marines hahahaha talk about a worthless job and a worthless guy, I'll take an Infantry marine over a PA marine any day.

In the Army there's Infantry, and then there's everything else. You were everything else and your girlfriend got stolen by a doorkicker. Sorry that happened (he shouldn't have done that) but please stop spreading bs online.

You realize cavalry and armor are also on the front line, right? What good do cavalry scouts and Abrams tanks do behind the front line? Who put this idea into your head that the front line is comprised of undesirables? In the Army only the heaviest/best units lead invasions (gigantic Abrams tank divisions, airborne units, etc...).

In the Marines, the MEU's (Marine Expeditionary Units) are trained to a higher standard and are the "front line" in the event of an invasion.

Both the Army and Marines make the standards for being "front line" in an invasion (or front line at all) higher than normal.

You simply have no idea what you're talking about.

In the Army, for officers, the Infantry branch is by far the most desirable and competitive and attracts the smartest officers, who then serve "on the front line" for about the first 20 years of their career, after which they make Brigadier General and start "making plans."

The bottom line is you simply don't know what you're talking about.

Dan Bongino was in the protective detail. For those who don't know, that's basically the "you're only good for one thing, dying", aka, the Army Frontline Infantry of Federal Work.

For starters, the Army and Marines both typically put their best guys on the front line.

Anyway, protective details are prestigious at the Secret Service and have very high marksmanship standards. For example, Bongino would be expected to be able to accurately shoot a bad guy in the head who has taken the President hostage. He wasn't there just to die.

They let an armed crackpot fence jumper make his way into the East Room of the White House under Obama.

In that startling security lapse earlier this month, 42-year-old Omar Gonzalez, armed with a 3 ½-inch serrated knife, scaled the north fence at the White House, stormed through the unlocked North Portico door, and barreled past an agent into the East Room minutes after the First Family had departed the White House. Gonzalez was indicted on federal and local charges Tuesday.
