The Irony of a Conspiracy Theorist

a reply to: Observationalist

Hmm, I don’t know about an effort to blame aliens as a misdirection. But their entire playbook is reliant upon owning the information and manipulating it.

I think the biggest problem is a complacent society. Most of us are far too comfortable to do more than argue issues on forums or social so media. And, many of us are too lazy to do our own due diligence.

Yes. Meaningful discourse has become forgotten. Instead people flock to pick a side, parrot that side’s official stance, dig their feet in and plug their ears. We are very simple creatures. Easy to manipulate.

Well, since you are confident that you would ‘know’, I’ll just say I’m jealous of your omniscience.

a reply to: TDDAgain

And feels like confirmation bias.

Well said. And, I believe that is the tangible benefit that congress is stating as their prime motivator. It’s also a legitimate reason for their inquiry and does merit their investigation on its own.

a reply to: gspat

Understandable. But congress doesn’t appear to be the bad guy here. They stated concerns about possible misappropriation of tax payer funding as well as illegal activity (no congressional oversight). I believe they are in the dark and they know it. But will they be able to do anything about it. I’m not confident they can.

I think you’re pretty spot on.

A few hundred years ago the Earth was flat and the center of the universe. It was also laughable that men would fly around in the skies. Keep in mind that so far almost anything the human mind could imagine has been written into science fiction, and many of these impossible things have come to fruition.

I meant it was a nice allegory, no matter the actual topic it fits...

a reply to: EmmanuelGoldstein TWO FACE: THE GREY is an interesting 2020 documentary which describes your post in a very unique and interesting way. I find a lot of the declarations in this documentary to be verifiable but there is SOME conjecture but definitely worth a look if your comments are interesting to others. To my knowledge it is only available on TUBI but it is free so...

I just watched all three videos (free on youtube), very interesting! Recommend all should watch them. Well, at least the last two.

You know... I'm just talking out all with a grain of salt. Don't know if I'm waiting for him to get suicided or not. Is he part of a gubment agenda too make ufos/uaps a national security issue... leading to a new national emergency and lockdowns cuz the aliens are coming? I'm in my 40s now and have been expecting this since i was a kids and first got into researching the phenomena. I've always been a believer... there had to be more life in this part of the universe. I'm just not putting all my eggs in this basket. After leading about the crazy patents filled by the navy 5 years back that are straight out of a star trek technical manual i thought we were getting close... cut to today.... I truly hope something papyrus and world chasing comes of this. But then again how many corporations will dig in their heels? If zero point energy is a thing... how will the energy sector respond? So many questions! How many will try to stop this back under the rug? How many people even think it's real or news worthy. Yeah I'm seeing it more and more on YouTube and other social platforms... but it's that the Algorithm curated for me or is everyone now looking at this?

Quote from MIB
Agent K:
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat. And fifteen minutes ago, you knew that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.


I hope this pans out for the best for all of us

As you all are acutely aware, we’ve recently seen an influx of alien and ufo (UAP) news regarding our own government. The main questions are in regards to what our government entities actually know, and if any agencies within the government are actively covering up their respective knowledge on the subject.

The recent David Grusch whistleblower testimony to congress has certainly highlighted the rising media attention. But, the reaction of ATS members is not what I expected.

Obviously ‘Deny Ignorance’ is a phrase we all attempt to stand by. This means we question everything, which helps us to avoid manipulation.

But, after the ‘Grusch’ testimony I’ve noticed something peculiar. After years of awaiting some sliver of light, some sign that actual disclosure from our government might happen, many of you have jumped the shark.

Has the government misdirection campaign been so effective that now you yourselves aren’t capable of belief in anything? If so, we are now too far gone and are under their spell completely.

Think about this, a bonafide and credentialed intelligence officer spills the beans under oath to congress, on national television no less, but he is immediately dismissed by many of you as a shill?

And this is despite the many years of mounting evidence and literally thousands of accounts of unexplainable encounters, many involving our own military. We all know the stories, the first hand accounts…our own experiences…

But now, once again, an individual who was given a responsibility to investigate these issues and gather intelligence by our government is telling you there’s a cover-up. He’s gone against the grain, lawyered up and spoken out…with many others lending their public support of him.

Yet, instead of enthusiastically celebrating some progress, however how small, you’ve now decided it’s all a stage.

Some of you are truly lost.

Our government cannot afford a population that further mistrusts them, especially after the COVID issues and our citizenry’s growing skepticism of anything and everything. They don’t want the RFKs of the world being legitimate president candidates. The last thing they need is public accusations by congress of illegal activity as well as the promise of investigations. And, this is a congress who has grown tired of intelligence agencies and the military complex and her proxies.

I’m not suggesting to blindly believe anything. I’m suggesting that we don’t dismiss things outright just because for so long we’ve seen the government so successful at suppression.

The chinks in the armor are growing. Deny ignorance indeed.

Aliens have never been to Earth.
It has always been a psyop . No one would believe it until they land in public & display some out of this world feats .

See, apparently there has been an amnesty in the american govt for whisteblowers to come forward recently. So, is this guy the only one who has done so? Is he telling us the actual truth, or is it to cover up other stories from those who have spoken out? We keep getting these 'disclosures', but when some merican general said 'We have teh tech to take them back again' some decades ago now, are we really being told the truth, or is this just a skim of the surface becuase someone has really told congress some truth?

The alien narrative is just incompetently played out. Shows what kind of people work in the letter agencies nowadays. And it makes sense also. It's not like it was with the cold war where highly motivated and capable people were getting things done. Most smart people have pivoted to the private sector, earning 10x more and after the Iraq WMD fiasco, no capable and sane young person will join their repressive ranks.

They didn't write a new and original distraction play, but they just took an old one, that has been chewed through and shelved. And it is played out so poorly with every "disclosure" popping up red flags like crazy.

I think that USA is currently like the Soviet Union was in the 80s. The system is broken and ran by incompetent people who got their position because of connections and loyalty. But they themselves, believing that they are the smartest people in the world, easily manipulating everyone around them. So, the outcome is just embarrassing.

not sure I know any who believe anything that comes out of the USA anymore or not see it as a country bogged down in pseudoscience..
