… or is this the new narrative for the pentagon to deny the significance of UAPs without being seen as denying the significance of UAPs , which might actually make people suspect more strongly that UAPs are significant?

4d chess indeed…

It’s sad that both WSJ and Gizmodo are writing about this like it’s worthy news, because we’d rather be reading about USPs being B.S. because it’s easier to get people to distrust the government that way, whether or not it’s true, double negative true, or quadruple negative true, than it is to point at things like:

- War in Israel-Palestine-Yemen-Syria-Iran, war in Ukraine-Russia with threat of spill into Europe-Scandinavia-U.S., threat of U.S.-China-Taiwan war in West Pacific, along with India-Pakistan attacks, but it’s a lot of proxy and posturing because anything serious would be stupid.

- Declaring martial law in L.A. for people protesting dictatorial evacuation and tariff war nonsense.

People have their fists fully up their asses.

I wouldn't expect Gizmodo to write about those things because it's not really their beat, but has the WSJ not covered those subjects? I'm not a subscriber, but they sound like things the WSJ would cover.

Or a variation of Princess Bride mind challenge...

With this crew there’s no 4D chess. UFO nuts were a part of the whack pack constituency that has become the magasphere.

The problem is there is no smoking gun or answer that satisfies the fantasies of people who are passionate about conspiracy theories.

So you start cooking up more conspiracy. It’s not 4D chess, it’s Candyland.

Ah, yes, the candyland dismissal. Classic obfuscation through infantilisation. Spooky23 indeed. Next thing , you’re probably going to claim you weren’t involved in the great Canadian genocide of 2013. Or even more damning, claim that such an event never happened at all!

I wasn’t being serious, but I can see how someone might think I was.

I found myself standing in front of a Masonic Lodge in 2013. You and I both know what a “pancake breakfast” fundraiser really means, and what they want you to believe. ;)

lol

The most plausible scenario is that the aliens came to Earth, took the form of humans, worked their way up into the higher echelons of government, then spread FUD to obfuscate their existence.

How did they manage that without resistance from the lizard people? Is that the real story here?

Clearly they are the lizard people. Perhaps the next wave of space immigration.

V (the 1980s version) was a flawed documentary.

Fun fact: the creators of V wanted to make a version of the classic novel warning about Fascism coming to America, "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis, but it was deemed too cerebral for American audiences by networks.

So they swapped the fascists for aliens in disguise.

Nice. This is the first I’ve heard-of or read about Huey Long: "When he was gone it seemed that a beneficent peace had fallen on the land. Father Coughlin, Reno, Townsend, et al., were after all pygmies compared with Huey. He had been a major phenomenon."

The demagogue party has flipped, but of course we’re living with the consequences all the same.

Nah, the lizard people come from inside the hollow Earth.

inside the hollow, flat earth, you mean. I think that is the "mirror" realm, right?
