just found this thread but it feels like a warm bath after years of trying and struggling to live in the austere lands of pure monochromatic materialism. while i respect the academic endeavor of reducing all problems to the intersection of power and resources for the explanatory power it brings, particularly at sociological levels, it always felt decisively lacking in ability to express any truth other than those laws of power. Particularly, the ways that young people freshly apprehending the ideology tend to use it in overapplied ways that do more to continually alienate themselves than build any solidarity.

I can't shake woo poo poo from my brain and my family has a long connection to that kind of stuff, tarot, astrology, all that nonsense. it's popular in the philippines and i can speak its language as clearly as any other, but segregated myself from it. it's nice hearing people talk about it without the associated judgements

At some point being a tedious rear end in a top hat about this stuff became a majoritarian position, and while i am not one to be contrarian just because; I generally struggle to trust situations where its easy to be derrisive. Like positions that confer the appearance of intelligence, that require next to none to uphold? Stuff that becomes axiomatic like "this stuff is supersition and therefore stupid"

I really distrust it when the popular take os one of thought terminating aversion, and with almost all woo subjects, it's there. Now that I've pushed past and discovered how fascinating some of these things are under the hood, i can't help but find contempt for the types of person who would dissuade me from it's study you know? If you're out there projecting thought terminating disinterest in a subject, but utterly unable to even comprehend the thing as it actually exists, you suck, right?

So be interested, be open, be shameless imo lol

I like this guy's take, it's an approach I think I could adopt when it comes to considering this topic. I also liked his proposed explanation for why some people are credulous of every little thing and don't need to even see the evidence, while others are very close-minded and won't even seriously entertain a discussion on the topic.

For those that still celebrate, Ross says on That UFO Podcast that the facility built over the giant ufo is used for a "laudatory purpose" that benefits the US, UK, and aus (I assume that's shorthand for all 5 eyes) and (paraphrasing) Lue said sombering because both the Gov (and or contractors?) and birds have deliberately killed people. Both intelligence committees have seen the proof and spoken to first hand witnesses, he's seen proof that the ICIG is still investigating and interviewing witness as of "the last few months" and he's surprised nothing has leaked from congress yet. If the proposed legislation doesn't pass disclosure is probably back in the box. Also the mummies are real*.



*I made this part up but they're still real.

just a coconut going for a stroll

I thought the most interesting parts of the recent Ross interview were him saying the many witnesses have already testified to various congressional oversight committees, that he'd talked to at least one (maybe he said two?) people on the order of general / admiral, and that somebody somewhere was working on an "interview" possibly with an admiral or general. Mostly stuff he mentioned in the first 20 minutes of the podcast. The impression is that the disclosure process is much more advanced in congress than it is in public, with the implication that the public is lagging by a few years, which actually lines up with how the story has developed since the start of this thread.

What bothers me about his stuff is I dont really trust him to evaluate what is credible. You hear broad descriptions of high level intelligence officials & etc and that sounds impressive, but then later he makes it explicit that at least one of the people he's talking about is Jim Semivan, and I've always bunched Jim Semivan with the rest of the "retired CIA officers" like John Ramirez who just seem to say the craziest goddamn poo poo all the time. So we need to know who these people are and what they are saying before we can properly evaluate.

Yeah I only caught the first 20 minutes in the car but I pretty much agree with this. At one point it popped into my head while listening to it that this is the guy who lead a tour group in Egypt to try and contact Anubis or something.

Oh the tour isn't til December. Goon project?

Fucken idiot, he should know that Anubis is half ascended and wants to destroy all life in the galaxy, he would be trying to contact Baal instead to convince him to double cross his boss to play the goa'uld against one another so none of them can consolidate a power base

Yeah so Grusch testified to both the ICIG and senate intelligence committee over a year before he went public. Additionally, you have to take into consideration how long it takes for the type of legislation we've seen to be crafted so it is definitely true that Congress is a year or two ahead of what we know to be public for us to be seeing the legislation we have been seeing. It's why I don't immediately dismiss it when Ross and Co are saying things like having sources that people are being interviewed and/or going through the whistleblower process etc and that we will hear soon. The wheels turn slowly and Ross is well placed to know at least part of what is going on behind closed doors about 6 months or so ahead of what we know. He was hinting at things that far ahead that later turned out to be Grusch. He's kind of a canary in the coal mine. That doesn't however mean we should believe everything he claims uncritically. I get the sense he's gone far enough down the rabbit hole he is less skeptical than he should be but out of all the personalities involved he is one of the better ones even if I don't buy into his stuff 100%

Like I fully believe others have testified to the Senate. No way in hell Schumer would have stuck his neck out the way he has with that latest bill unless he had people corroborating Grusch and felt extremely confident there was truth there. It's honestly probably the thing that makes me believe Grusch the most.

yeah the highly targeted language of all the bills so far is the biggest indication that there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than is generally acknowledged. In the past I attributed this all to Chris Mellon but surely there's more to it.

In fact yesterday I was thinking back to that Obama video/interview where he refers to UAPs being unidentified and "not having an easily identifiable pattern" or something like that. The way he phrased it made it clear he was putting the general UAP business into his own words, and I'm sure he wasn't just getting that from listening to podcasts with Lue. Hence he was briefed at some point, presumably about the "observables", hence someone with the president's ear takes the subject seriously. And this was several years ago.
