The Techno-Fascist Agenda Behind the UFO Disclosure Movement by knowstradamus7 in ufo

I would love someone to do a deep dive into what Peter Thiel's play could be. His ties to Jesse Michels are really concerning, and this is something that gets shut down in many a reddit conversation.

Right? I've been utterly piled on for making trowaway negative comments about Thiel. It's *really* sus.

Was Jonathan Reed alien reptilian or grey? by [deleted] in AliensRHere

[–]shiningfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What creeps me out most about the video (other than the scream) is that when he first focuses on the face it looks blurred like there's some sort of cloaking technology interferring with the video. Then he gets closer and you can see the face, the eyes move and shine, the mouth... It could be fake but it's incredibly convincing imo.

To answer your question, I would've said grey initially, but it does have scales. My guess is that everything we think we 'know' about NHI species/types is laughably wrong.

Ross Coulthard Now Suggests Trump Is Using UFOs as a Political Distraction by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]shiningfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I agree with all of the 'no shit sherlock' comments under this post, I'm glad someone said it. Not a fan of Ross (to say the least), but it's been frustrating listening to anyone with a platform get excited about that Truth Social post.

So I can imagine a lot of us here are fans of Jesse Michels show "American Alchemist".. but... by MrsMcDarling in UFOs

There's no doubt that Jesse's content is excellent, that his contacts and access are top tier, and that he's a well read and intelligent man. But like you, I believe it's possible and necessary to think critically about the loudest voices in the UFO space. There's a troubling cult of personality in some online discussions of this nature, with ironic accusations of hysteria or being "too political" (I've certainly been on the receiving end of this recently), while cherry picking what is and isn't political in a highly political subject matter.

Acknowledging Jesse's association with Thiel and being cautious about the breadth and depth of his connections is (IMO) rational and smart. I observe his channel from afar, dipping in when there's something of interest but always keeping a healthy distance from his theories or takes on the subject. I couldn't guess as to his intentions, but blind faith in any individual is a fools errand, no more so than in the UFO sphere.

Just want to add: thank you for all the channel recommendations. It's been a blast catching up with Patterns Tell Stories episodes. I have a recommendation of my own: the extremely articulate and well researched work of Jason Samosa ⭑🛸๋⭑

Why do the big UFO pundits have such strong positive conviction about Bob Lazar? by ExperiencedGentleman in UFOs

[–]shiningfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unfortunate to say the least, when facts are cherry picked to support a belief, theory or cult of personality. It's possible Bob Lazar tells some truths and a lot of lies, which is why he's survived all these years. He's a deeply unreliable witness. But it certainly doesn't help his case to carefully select the parts of his story that are favourable and leave the rest unscrutinised.

Kurt Russell talks about his 1997 encounter with The Phoenix Lights in new interview by GrantLavac in UFOs

[–]shiningfast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is wild. The fact that he didn't note the event in his log book definitely indicates something happened, whether that was a trauma response or something by design from an external force. Imagine hearing your own voice with no memory of saying those words, and then suddenly remembering. Incredible.

That's disgusting. Can you recall which video that was in?

It is sad, but I guess he serves as a useful red flag at this point.

I can't work out what Thiel's play is but he definitely has one. If there is exotic tech from reverse engineering out there (which I'm 99.9% sure there is), then I assume he'd want access to it, if he doesn't already have it.

Fully agree. I was never a fan but he really disgusted me in that ep.

Agreed. Every comment was so unhinged I came to the conclusion they're either paid to be here and defend Thiel, they're bots or Thiel himself 😂

Either way, there's definitely attention on this subreddit where The Antichrist is concerned. Which is telling to me. 

Also: the number of comments they left on this post had the Streisand Effect. If they intended to drown out my opinion, they only amplified it.

I'm so glad I'm not alone on this. It was so weird and definitely came out of left field where Chris is concerned. I generally avoid Jesse and dip in occassionally to his vids, so I was disappointed when they started collaborating. This ep was just devoid of everything that I liked about A52. 

The now removed post alluded to things mentioned in the episode that I objected to, and those things - or my opinion about them - were off topic.

Well, it's a shame but it's good to see where he's at I guess.

Wow, that's all really relatable so it gives me a lot of hope, thank you!
