EDIT: It's not even an alien debunker video. It does however prove beytond the shadow of a doubt what our establishment has well underway for us, and those developments makes it seem absurd that there could be aliens here who would allow us to do it.
Then that just goes to show that you have irrational biases in your beleifs, like a Bush supporter who refuses to see something after you inform them how damning your material is against him.
Irrational? You mean like how irrational it is to assume that you know an alien's mindset and what they would "allow"
Usually, I wouldn't bother, as this thread was obviously started as flamebait...but a real case of pot calling the kettle black here.....
And to make the sweeping statement of sightings being mass hysteria, etc., last I checked, mass hysteria doesn't show up on radar, in gun camera footage, nor spark the government into numerous programs (such as Grudge, Sign, and Bluebook) to assess their threat....
As for telling members to "get a life", you have NO idea what many other members do, or their level of "life". Contrary to popular opinion, many conspiracy enthusiasts do NOT live in their parents' basements, wear tin foil hats, and read Catcher in the Rye over and over.... Many are likely making more than you (or I) and have lives that are enviable... There are Phd's here, ex-NASA folks, scientists, pros in their field, etc. I assure you, we have "lives"....

Unfortunately, the supposition of the starter of this thread hinges on motives that are obvious and available to a human. The notion of separate creatures with separate psychology and separate experience sets are precluded.
My dog probably views me with the same confusion. When i yell "Over There!" and point to where i just threw a piece of meat he didn't see me thrown, he slinks off like he is in trouble. Why? Because he cannot understand things on my level and inserts his own version of motive in where his understanding leaves off.
maybe we are here to walk a path, to live a script. Maybe our life is only "unknown" to us because we have temporal ignorance? This would explain why ET's stay uninvolved: we have a script to live and their interference is not written into this script. Does this make sense?
You cannot put your own motives in for a creature that you do not understand. It is like stabbing in the dark.

what makes you think aliens would be so up in arms about something like this, because obviously this is what holds this opinion of yours up on two legs
say for an instant you see aliens as a step up on the universal foodchain above us and think of there treatment like us , similiar to how we treat animals (we experiment and do tests on some of them to "theoretically better are own lives thru finding out what is safe and what is not and in some cases feeding us) it is not that we hate the animals but we see them as expendable if it makes our lives easier, maybe the aliens just see this as necessary to keep humans in the dark during a period when some beleive we will have an expanded consciousness.

Why would such advanced beings need to test on us? As far as the 'genesis' view, would 'on earth' would they engineer humans and waste a perfectly good colony planet? Earth's dont come a dime a dozen.
Why would they need human slaves to mine with all of their advanced machinery, and where is some trace of said machinery? Us being mere slaves, why not kill us after 'taming it' and inhabit the earth? Different atmosphere? Then why not terraform it? Apparently the DOD thinks they can with our "primative" technologies.

Nothing but obscure photos and allegid accounts in an era when everyone wants 15 minutes of fame and to be on TV.
So, um, where did I tell anyone to "get a life"?
You people need to stop chasing pipe dreams and pure speculation and start facing the REAL and UNDENIABLE threats that we have here and NOW.
Ok then everyone... why are they here?
The propaganda model is based on either hooking people (about 20%) deeply biased into the 2 party political system, and then you divert the rest into sports and other fluff. But then there's the independant/alarmist/theorist/actually-paranoid types who will actually look back. For these types you have to scare and divert them.

Please let me know the frequency with which Earth-like planets are distributed within the Milky Way.
Your metaphor implies that planets like Earth are not common, so you must have information that leads you to that conclusion? Please supply me with a link to the research data that you studied to conclude that "Earth's dont come a dime a dozen".

You can wait as long as you want, but you see, most people are not naive enough to speculate on something they have absolutely no information of.
It's outlandish to try and speculate on why some animals do some of the weird things they do...but to speculate on beings we've never even seen before is just...
Speculating on a speculation.

Right here….
It’s a loose translation, but the general debunker attitude of “get a life” certainly is seeping out…
Ok then everyone... why are they here?
Total speculation (on any side)…
All we can do is look at the evidence…
1. UFO sightings seem to show a preference of proximity to military targets.
2. There is evidence that UFOs interfered with weapons and ships in numerous cases
3. Reported abductions
4. Desire for secrecy and evasion
Seems that they aren’t looking to invade, and aren’t looking to be friends or helpful…so what’s left? Indifference? Or perhaps just ensuring we stay confined to our little planet…at least until we no longer are the way we are. Who knows? It’s all speculation, but even speculation can be based on reason….
So why pick on UFO enthusiasts? Completely different issue. It’s like picking on Bingo players for the travesty of American Soccer.
Ahh, but you can’t simply dismiss the cases, folks, vids, photos, etc. that existed BEFORE such an environment. Look at Betty Hill. She didn’t want to go public. Another did for her, so she came out just to set the record straight. This one-size-fits-all brush won’t work for every case, and there are LOTS of cases where this idea won’t fit.

I'm still waiting for a plausible one...

For the alien (experimentation/interest/etc, over imperialism) argument to hold solid, "earth's" would have to be a dime a dozen.
In both cases verifible empirical evidence simply doenst exist, and the odds so far point against it.
Around the year 2000 I'd seen virtually every known UFO imagery, and none of it was too convincing, and still isn't.
In any case, this lowers the odds of there beign harvestable/inhabitable planets.
