UFOs in ancient times haven't changed much at all over the past several thousand years. What gives? Perhaps they are not nearly as mentally adept as we credit them, or they rule out certain methods... that we may not be aware of, much less understand.

It's been our superiority in industry, population, and technology - combined - that has given us the advantage.

And history has shown that technological societies never succeed in exterminating another society. And never has it been shown that technological societies are immune to "inferior" societies.

Furthermore, going on what we know, our aircraft have shot down UFOs in the past. Now, there has been no evidence to suggest that these are combat-worthy vessels, but there has been no evidence to suggest otherwise, either.

The reality is that it is entirely possible for a species to develop space flight and sub-space travel mechanisms without even knowing what it is they are doing …They may be absolutely puzzled as to why we aren't zipping around through the cosmos with them

Our industry and population were results of our technology, not independent factors that combined with technology. To wit, technology gave us the industries that allowed us to produce and sustain more population. That’s why technologically advanced societies can produce and sustain populations unfeasible with lesser technologies.
I would submit a technologically advanced society has never really tried to completely exterminate any inferior society. Therefore, it was never accomplished, but not because it could not have been done. There have been near runs, but never really a sustained, comprehensive effort to extinguish the last of a given “inferior” society.
As to “inferior” societies gaining the upper hand over a more advanced one; there are none that I can think of. If you could give an example of such, I would consider your argument on this point.
This one will have to take a pass. It may be true but then again it doesn’t seem really logical. But then, I’m using Human based logic so it may not apply. So this one could go round and round. All I can say, at this point of intoxication and tiredness, is that it just doesn’t sit right with me

No.
Remember, he's the one in power, so there's no point talking to us about it.

Seriously - it wears on my nerves. A bunch of people decreeing, in a wondrous display of mental integrity, another person an idiot and how he is going to stage an alien invasion to secure time in office.
I mean... it never ceases to amaze me how this guy is, according to some people - an idiot, retarded, etc - but that he is the mastermind of some elaborate plan (of any variety - it knows no limits - from alien invasion to nuclear war, to planes crashing into buildings) to secure more time in office. Perhaps that's why his master plan is not really going according to ... well - plan... because he's just stupid and his plan will never work.
There's this one quote, by this one guy, but it goes something like this: "It's good to have an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out." Keep that in mind....

Yes, I will call you "child" - because I deem you worthy of the title in this discussion as you have yet much to learn.
He shelled his own people with nerve gas, for crying out loud

Our government isn't organized enough for most of the conspiracies out there to really be carried out, even if they do exist.
Indonesian Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari has joined an ever growing list of government officials calling for the ‘immediate’ closure of the United States Naval Medical Research Unit 2 (NAMRU-2) located in their Nation, and has stated:
“This laboratory has been in Indonesia without a permit for over 40 years for research of diseases. Various types of viruses from Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Indonesia had been studied in this laboratory," she said.
