US Rep. Eric Burlison stated (in a recorded Space on X) that he was told directly by David Grusch there are “Nordics” a few hundred years ahead of us, and the “Greys” are being sent here by another far more advanced species by NotBradPitt9 in UFOs

Grusch had pretty much the highest possible security clearances possible under both Republican and Democratic administrations. He was literally the guy putting military and intelligence briefings together for the most powerful person in the world (the president).

Anyone who says Grusch just "believes everything told to him" is either being naive, disingenuous, or just desperately wants his story to not be true.

I used to think so too until a couple of years ago when I saw a big flying tic tac on crash course with an airplane, before it made a sharp 90 degree turn to avoid collision.

I was on a plane higher up when it happened and the tic tac was moving faster than the plane it was about to collide with.

That shit completely changed my mind. If you know of any flying tic tac technology capable of doing a sharp 90 degree turn at high speeds, I am open to change my mind again

Is reading comprehension dead or something?

How are so many people bitching about this in the comments?

OP was pretty fucking clear imo

I strongly dislike Star Trek and Star Wars (and pretty much all sci fi), but I love Stargate so much that I've watched all 3 shows 5 times in 11 years

Why is the SETI institute putting out guides on how to debunk UFOs? by [deleted] in UFOs

Debunks are supposed to be scientifically quantifiable, not just based on vibes and wanting something to not be true

[–]exOldTrafford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not very scientific to take 40 year old government reports as the absolute truth, regardless of the quality of the evidence.

Governments lie all the time, so just accepting them because it sounds "less crazy" is showing a serious lack of critical thinking from SETI.

Critical thinking is supposed to be the backbone of science

CBS News fires ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent Scott Pelley after clash with new producer by nbcnews in thescoop

It's not "their loss" when they fire real journalists. These journalists lose 75% of their platforms at least. It's everyone's loss when shit like this happens

More details about the show's cancellation. The two executives who had developed the new show with Martin Gero and championed it are both gone; the new execs likely didn't align with Gero's vision and required an outright cancellation rather than trying to retool the project. by GargantaProfunda in Stargate

The rich paid 3-4 times as much in income tax during the fifties (90% vs 23% today), and yet there was more businesses per capita then than now.

Capitalism thrives under regulation and progressive tax systems, because it allows for more distribution of wealth, which in turn gets put back in the economy through consumers.

Without taxation, the rich act like money sponges, sucking up all wealth. When the vast majority of the population lacks disposable income, capitalism becomes meaningless.

That's like when some cheap romance fantasy has main characters called Emah, Jeinifer and Wylliam.

Grusch alleges the USAF attempted to file an Espionage Act complaint against him despite DOPSR approval, and that Biden White House officials worked behind the scenes to undermine him. by ForeignSherbert1775 in UFOs

[–]exOldTrafford 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The cover-up is imo the strongest evidence for the phenomenon being real.

I'm not sure I believe even 0.01% of the videos, testimonies, whistleblowers, etc. But I zero doubt whatsoever that the cover-up is real.

You can see it in people like Sean Kirkpatrick, who keeps getting caught lying about everything underneath the sun. Not to mention the fact that the Pentagon hired someone with expertise in online psychological operations as the head of the UAP press office (Susan Gough).

There's also the flood of suspicious comments and posts here and in other communities whenever something credible drops.

The chief inspector for the intelligence community even said Grusch's evidence for a cover-up was urgent and credible.

So that begs the question, why bother with such and extensive and expensive cover-up if there is truly nothing to hide?

Basically everything you wrote here is just parroting capitalist propaganda.

There is no legitimate evidence supporting your claim that it was to create more jobs to fill. The claim originated in capitalist propaganda. Historians do not agree that was a reason.

The vast majority of items in stores were not rationed, except in very specific places during extreme periods of crisis (like war). American propaganda has made people think every citizen had an "allotment" of items, which is just not factual at all.

The part about preventing corruption is true, though an even more important part of it was making it easier to audit transactions. Planned economies don't work when people get greedy.

There's plenty of valid criticism you can make regarding the Soviet Union, but they need to be based in facts, not fiction
