You have piqued my interest. What is the leverage you speak of? And why can it not be discussed here?
I find this thread interesting, be it the truth, smokescreen, hoax or disinfo. As they say, there is no smoke without fire.edit on 18/9/2012 by Grifter81 because: (no reason given)

If, and I quote, "It has no effect on me or my life whatsoever" was a true statement you wouldn't have posted. Evidently it has had an effect on you.

So, you are saying that it IS possible for something to have no effect on your life whatsoever.........until you mention the fact that it has no effect on your life whatsoever....at which point,, it then HAS an effect on your life, thus cancelling out the original premise????
WOW, what a paradox.
He's right. If it had no effect, you would not have felt the need to post. you simply would have let it. go. clearly, it either has an effect, or you suspect it might have an effect at some point. so, it DOES HAVE AN EFFECT.
Gotta love the way some people's minds work.

IF this were true, then Johnny or Janie, serving onboard one of the ships would've sent a pic by now. And please don't say that they'd be unable to or they're under orders not to say anything, because this generation doesn't hold those values. When a Navy SEAL writes a "tell all" book because he felt the POTUS was getting too much credit, then I would figure an E3 or E2 would send a pic to his/her folks of the war against aliens.
We live in an era of instant communication/gratification, pics would get out and someone would want to be the first to do it! Not like they have to get the film developed. Take a photo and it can be sent worldwide in seconds...hours if you use AT&T.
Secrets can not be kept secret as they once were.

Mr Panetta says that the SEAL didn't have permission and that he could face a penalty. Oh, I get it, you're saying it's a conspiracy. That the "SEAL" or perhaps a ghost writer was told to write the book to show the sheeple that OBL is dead...nevermind.
If the Navy was fighting aliens, SN Johnny would text pics to his buds back home. "Hey, bros, check out this gnarly alien dude!". I assume that's how kids talk nowadays on their way to a sock hop or ice cream social.

If this is true, seems to me there must be civilians out there who can give some kind of
confirmation. Boats, ships, planes..people on shore see unusual military activity or some
kind of movement, friends or relatives of loved ones in the military. If there was a secret war
going on wouldn't boats and ships be blocked or warned off from going in that area?
If this is true there would be leaks of some kind, or at least some kind of footprint. You
can't hide a war. Convenient that it's off-shore in the middle of the Pacific.edit on 19-9-2012 by orbitbaby because: (no reason given)

Are there actually any reliable sources who are also reporting this? If this is currently going on I find it fascinating how much interest the US and China are taking in this. Something must have been seen or crashed for the military from both countries to get involved. I look forward to reading about this via reliable media and not from persons affiliated with ridiculous disclosure groups.edit on 19-9-2012 by ProfessorT because: (no reason given)

Saw this on VT also. Glad to see that others are finding it. Fascinating. Troubling, whether info or disinfo. I normally just read and don't comment, but this seems very different. Wanted to share the following: I also note that DOD Sec. Panetta is supposed to be meeting the China's Vice President on Wednesday 9-19-2012 per the WashPost. Also, I note lots of big earthquake activity in the Pacific. Lots of 5 and 6+ shaking going on per the official earthquake sites in the last few days.
That meeting may have something to do with the situation between China and Japan right now where they are in dispute over the ownership of some islands that lie between the two nations. Though I dont know what Panettas role in that would be. That has been on the news. This ? Not so much......
