Note the lies and slanders directed at Aldean. And the lies and slanders directed at the Florida curriculum. In the midst of the corruption and criminality of the Bidens and Fauci and the unrelenting assault on Trump and the constitution.
These are vile smears. And they are the standard tactics of Democrats today in every sphere and every context. Democrats lie, steal and cheat. They lie and slander relentlessly. About everything.
These vicious, evil people are engaged in a full scale assault on every part of our society, our culture, our constitution, and ultimately our nation.
Democrats are evil. The masks are off. The truth is laid bare. It is undeniable. To be a Democrat is no longer excusable. Period.
Huge numbers of Ds supported prison for those who didn’t submit to the jabs. They wanted children taken away from parents who resisted. They support censorship. They support an unconscionable jihad against Trump. They are evil. Know them by their actions and words. Their desires are vile. Their hatred and contempt is all-encompassing.

RE: UFOs and the Overton Window
With regard to UFOs there has been a rather dramatic shift of the Overton Window– how people think about UFOs, and what is reasonable discussion about the subject.
Giving credit where credit is due, the December 2017 New York Times story revealing the existence of the DOD’s formerly secret AATIP program studying the UFO phenomenon, and introducing it’s former head, Lou Elizondo, what he had to say and, then, the TICTAC, GIMBAL, and GO FAST videos, started the ball rolling.
Through his intense, several year campaign of seemingly innumerable appearances in interviews, in videos, in a TV series, and at various conferences, Lou Elizondo waged a campaign to heighten the public’s awareness of the nuts and bolts of this issue, as well as the many profound issues it raises.
It appears that, behind the scenes as well, Elizondo and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon—and probably others—also worked to bring this issue to the attention of members Congress.
In the years since that 2017 article there have been a continuing—and building–series of revelations and information which have apparently heightened attention to this issue in the public’s mind, and gotten the attention of Congress.
Congress has apparently awakened to the serious and urgent nature of this issue, thus, several recent pieces of bi-partisan legislation—now law–which increased protections for any whistleblowers who might want to come forward with information about UFOs, and which laid a number of increasingly strict requirements on DOD and the Intelligence Community to disclose to Congress any secret crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs, and actual crash debris or intact craft they might have in their possession, or handed off to private industry, the information on UFOs that these agencies have acquired over the last 80 years, as well as a requirement that these agencies give an accounting of the role these agencies have played regarding this issue during those 80 years.
We will see if the DOD and the Intelligence Community actually do what these laws require them to do, and supply the information that they have been told to come up with.
Signs of some type of Disclosure in the near future (perhaps Disclosure only to Congress, with a lesser disclosure to the public) seem to be gathering momentum, moving faster and faster.
Some recent signs of this shift–the head of AARO, Dr. Shaun Kirkpatrick, going from his dismissive Congressional briefing of a few months ago to saying, in a very recent interview, that part of his research is to “guard against extraterrestrial technological supremacy.”
Another sign is the proposed UFO language just introduced by Senators Schumer, Gillibrand and others in a Senate Amendment to the 2024 NDAA, which discusses “off-world technology,” and “Non Human Intelligences.”
Unless, say, Lou Elizondo, suddenly appears as a fourth surprise witness, I do not expect a great deal from the upcoming House Oversight Hearing on UFOs, which is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, July 26th.
The three announced witnesses have already appeared on TV and said their pieces.
So unless they–and particularly DOD whistleblower David Grusch–reveal some new and startling information, what I do expect to result from this hearing is a much wider dissemination of the information–up until now basically embargoed and/or dismissed and ridiculed by the MSM–they have to offer about UFOs, and about the how the government has handled this issue.
My grandmother (lived to 102) was the pissiest, most cantankerous and judgmental old broad you could ever meet.
Then my mother came across her photo stash. Her gear was more risque than that in the video.
RE: UFOs and Disclosure
Looking back over the, at least, 80 year history of the government’s involvement in the UFO issue, what many people see is a continuing see-saw battle, between those within the government who are in favor of more disclosure vs. those who want little or none.
Over the decades the no disclosure faction has generally prevailed, and only on a few occasions has the disclosure faction been able to get some small measure of transparency, or some information–a statement or document here or there–released.
Right now, against great pressure from the non-disclosure faction–the disclosure faction seems to be winning.
The question is, this time, will the very strong non-disclosure faction be able to “put the toothpaste back in the tube, ” the “genie back in the bottle.”

I will. Tiresome bints are no bloody good.
ArtDeco–If I remember correctly, there have been similar reports about this same situation in the past.
It is sometimes hard to have sympathy for those countries which have so blindly and foolishly allowed the influx of massive numbers of basically unassimilable and volatile Muslims; Muslims, many of whom, are hostile to these country’s core cultures, norms, and religions.
However, it has not been the common people who have made these decisions, it has been the leaders of these countries who have made these suicidal decisions, which have imported a very formidable danger to the sovereignty, safety, order, and stability into each one of these countries.
Sadly, it is not these leaders–hidden behind the walls of their gated communities and their bodyguards–who will suffer the results of their foolish and suicidal decisions–the people attacked and killed, the women harassed and sometimes raped, the businesses, cars, churches, and houses burned down, the public squares and towns taken over/occupied by Muslim zealots, the schools and universities disrupted–it is the common people.
“On December 18, 1972, a few weeks after Biden was elected senator, his wife Neilia and one-year-old daughter Naomi were killed in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping in Hockessin, Delaware.[23][46] Neilia’s station wagon was hit by a semi-trailer truck as she pulled out from an intersection. Their sons Beau (aged 3) and Hunter (aged 2) were taken to the hospital in fair condition, Beau with a broken leg and other wounds and Hunter with a minor skull fracture and other head injuries.” The driver of the truck was uninjured. If you look at a Google map you will see that this was a fairly rural level intersection with no visual interference.
Less than a month later with his young wife and daughter dead we have this:
“In January 1973, secretary of the Senate Francis R. Valeo swore Biden in at the Delaware Division of the Wilmington Medical Center” where his sons were still recovering from their injuries.
People living on the east coast have a lot more memory of the east coast mafia than those of us who grew up out west. They will tell you that this looks very suspicious. It is my opinion that Joe Biden has been dirty at least since this event! He has never been his own man.
My second thought for today: Why the heck can’t the FBI, DOJ, Congress do anything to get the Russian Mafia off of the docks in Brooklyn–out of New York, out of this country?
They have had a strong presence there since at least the late 1970’s.
Good article cross referenced on a couple of sites today:
“Some recent signs of this shift–the head of AARO, Dr. Shaun Kirkpatrick, ………….saying, that part of his research is to “guard against extraterrestrial technological supremacy.
Give me a break; present day military technology is neanderthal level vs. UFO technology. There is nothing to guard against. UFOs can do whatever they please and there is nothing earthlings can do about it.
As far as new laws /requirements for the DOD and intelligence agencies fessing up about what they know; Joe Biden will become lucid and be able to walk without tripping over his own feet, before these agencies (or really any federal agency) comes clean.
If UFOs were phony-baloney, the DOD and other agencies would never have established organizations to investigate this stuff.
What I do not understand is why any info on UFOs is classified and why all UFO info has not been revealed.
I mean, does anyone really expect the citizenry to go bonkers if it’s revealed that UFOs are real??
But hey, that is the nature of bureaucracies, expand their reach and purpose far beyond what they originally were supposed to do. Exhibit #1: the Federal Reserve
“If UFOs were phony-baloney, the DOD and other agencies would never have established organizations to investigate this stuff.”
Otay. UnFalsifiable Opinion. A UFO.
As I read about yet another upcoming Trump indictment, the silence of the media on the Biden crime family is deafening.
I can only interpret this as a signal that the Democrats have decided to simply ignore the findings of congressional investigations, and rely on the corrupt media and judiciary to help them imprison Trump and protect Biden.
They have let Biden blunder them into a corner, and the way out requires that they choose between losing power and destroying the integrity of the country.
Long habit tells us which they will pick.
You have to admit, it’s a little awkward that a large percentage of people inhabiting the planet are walking around with the best cameras in history coupled with prodigious memory capacity for not only pictures, but videos, on a device allowing instantaneous communication.
All of these devices available at all of these fingertips, rumors abounding about the pervasive presence of UFOs in modern society – and not a single TikTok, not a single Facebook message, no Twitter pix, nada. Just endless stories about classified documents and Congressional testimony, and eyewitnesses. All of whom, apparently, do not have phone service. Some of them, flying warplanes and jetliners with the most sophisticated avionics in history, but still…. no closeups.
I bet even Big Foot has a monthly plan, by now.
Women exposing their legs was a great departure from all prior standards in decorum. An early precursor to the sexual revolution?
I recall that when I was younger, I used to regularly check up on several UFO websites (this was early web, prior to social media). The photos were indeed often blurry. Some were quite sharp, but were criticized as “obvious fakes” because of it!
Before that, I attended many airshows and took shots of aircraft with a decent 35mm camera. Result: a collection of dots!
Ps. I should have clarified that I took photos of FLYING aircraft and got a series of dots! I soon figured out that if I wanted nice photos of planes, take them when the planes were on static display – parked!
Aggie–If you clicked on the Dr.Kevin Knuth link in a previous comment of mine, you would notice that he talks about the incredible amounts of energy that he calculates are needed to perform some of the maneuvers that UFOs perform–Lou Elizondo’s “six observables”–of the tremendous electromagnetic fields generated by genuinely unidentified UFOs, and that these actual UFOs often emit incredibly intense and powerful light on the visible spectrum. (Knuth apparently sees these extremely powerful emissions of visible light as just wasted energy, and the fact that they can “waste” so much energy, an indicator of the enormous amounts of power those operating UFOs have to play with; far, far more energy than we here on Earth can presently generate.)
Perhaps these energy levels and their attendant effects (perhaps a plasma field surrounding UAPs?) might be the reason why no one has gotten a really good picture of such UFOs–at least no pictures that have so far been released.
JohnTyler–Of all the many reasons which have been proposed as motivations for keeping information about UFOs, crash retrievals, reverse engineering programs, and Aliens deeply secret and extremely closely held, I’m afraid that I’m starting to lean towards the idea that to release such information would be to admit that we humans are totally defenseless in the face of beings who have a vastly superior technology–that in this situation we really have no agency–that, contrary to all the “beings of Light,” “Space Brothers” blather–perhaps some of these Aliens are hostile, and that their plans for us humans are, shall we say, not what we would want, “less than optimal” for us humans.
UFOs fly so fast they don’t have to obey physics or UFOs have cloaking devices or some dude did some maths …..
Lets see, the evil Military Industrial Complex of aerospace companies are doing reverse engineering of UFOs, but the UFOs are made of materials that we have no way of understanding or obtaining or fabricating. The UFOs are bigger on the inside than their external volume. Not engineering, magic. See Unicorns.
Sounds like Rocky and Bullwinkle; UFOs are powered by “upsidasium” and have “hushaboom.”
Heh, I’d like to say that one could have seen this coming from miles and miles away.
But I didn’t.
Should’ve, no doubt.

Or maybe the question should be: Did Obama—after the above open-mic declaration (or request(?) or pledge(?) or promise(?)) made to Medvedev—actually decide to screw Putin WRT Ukraine?

Watt: thanks for linking to Michael Anton’s piece in Compact Magazine. It’s a depressing but accurate description of where we are now. I am slightly more sanguine about the possibility of a course correction than he is. There are still large reservoirs of sanity, competence, and untapped–or, more accurately, deliberately frustrated–potential in this country. The challenge is restoring them to cultural and political dominance. The odds are steep but not insuperable. Anyway, the link, again:
RE: UFOs–”guarding against extraterrestrial technological supremacy”
While over the last 80 years or so we have been going about our lives, unknown but to a small number of people, the UFO issue has been running in the background.
This phrase, uttered by Dr. Shaun Kirkpatrick, the head of AARO, in a very recent interview, strikes me as being of perhaps critical significance.
Why, one asks, do you need to spend time thinking about, much less “guarding against extraterrestrial technological supremacy,” if all UFOs are, in the end, readily explainable as mere misperceptions of one kind or the other, and–while conceding that Aliens might possibly exist somewhere out in the Galaxy and Universe–believing that such Aliens are certainly not directing/piloting the UFOs which are zipping, with impunity, through the skies over virtually every country on Earth, are seen entering, exiting our oceans, and traveling through them, traveling up into Earth orbit, and, perhaps, beyond?
Since his dismissive briefing to Congress about UFOs of a few months ago Dr. Kirpatrick has heard/found out something, and it has apparently changed his attitude, what he thinks of the UFO/UAP issue, moving him from his dismissive attitude and approach to something very different.
He says in this recent interview that some 30 witnesses have come to ARRO with their testimony, which he says, did not meet his standards for “proof.”
But, judging from this phrase, something, it seems, has made a seemingly radical change in his view of and his focus on the UFO issue.
Some excellent news from Italy.

Barry, about Meloni and Italy and Europe. Since you read Zerohedge, you may have read from other pieces a source named Remix News.
This is an English language news web site based in Hungary, backed by a Right-leaning foundation there.
But their news focus is Central Europe, or basically from Germany and Austria and nations to the East.
Back in this Spring, there’s been a flurry of articles in the Leftist MSM, on the theme of CPACs new base in Hungary — which is now holding annual confabs and special events there.
And because the Lingua Franca of the EU is now English, hosting American and European Right-side stars.
In May, the Arizona TV anchor turned candidate for Governor Kari Lake attended, and was impressed.
Thus, there’s an interesting cross-pollination of political seriousness being supported there. If you don’t look, you could miss out on it.

I read Hubert’s link. It’s depressing, but true. So many things out of kilter.
One that especially got my attention – our economy is phony. So true. We no longer seem to care about producing wealth – mining, logging, oil/gas drilling, powerplants, manufacturing plants, heavy machinery plants, etc. Instead, we are a mostly an economy of paper shufflers, computer cowboys, internet influencers, and sellers of cheap foreign goods. We are dependent on countries that don’t like us for many necessities. We spend big money on frivolous things – $1600 for a thicket to the Taylor Swift concert last night, and big bucks to execute DEI etc.
I was a Naval Aviator for 21 years. I look back and recall how many things had to be done correctly to get a division (4) of aircraft into the air in mission ready condition. Power plants mechanics, aviation metal smiths, electronic specialists (twidgets), and plane captains all had to do their jobs right. The mission had to be planned, briefed, and executed by aviators who could fly and think, making changes as necessary as conditions changed. The aircraft carrier had to maneuver, get up speed, have the catapults ready, have their deck crew perform their job of getting the airplanes safely on the cats and into the air. All dependent on people, knowing their jobs and executing them to the best of their ability. A weak link in the team and the job is not done well or even fails. Serious, responsible people can do things like this. Unserious, incapable people can’t. That’s where we’re headed. Can we reverse course? I pray that it’s possible. I fear that it’s not.

No, you’ve bought into the idea that people voluntarily pay for services because they are stupid and only goods production is ‘real’. You should have better ideas.
Thanks TJ.
I think I know that site. Haven’t looked at it for quite a while (if that is indeed it).
Recall it being fascinating but a bit “out there”, at least in some cases….
Are you familiar with European Conservative News?
Kind of a clearing house—serious with mostly sensible articles… https://europeanconservative.com/news/
Art D.: “No, you’ve bought into the idea that people voluntarily pay for services because they are stupid and only goods production is ‘real’. You should have better ideas.”
And there was a need for banking or insurance before anyone had produced a tangible good like a basket of corn, a bow and arrows, or a hunting spear? The basic industries created the need for certain services that allow them to be mor efficient and resilient. Without that production there would be little need for the services.
Without then production of usable raw materials and the fashioning them into usable goods there is little wealth created. This was the status of humans for thousands of years until the industrial revolution allowed us to create undreamed of wealth by manufacturing usable goods in quantities that made them available to the common people. Wealth that allows people to spend $1600 dollars to hear a woman sing for an hour or so. Without that wealth, the woman would not be able to command such prices. Too few people understand that. Our basic industries are our crown jewels. You disagree? Fine, I don’t agree with a lot of your ideas either.
wrt RFKjr and vexing:
Metaphor alert: I graduated high school in 62. Then and for some time later, we could purchase, instead of the hot meal in the cafeteria, peanut butter sandwiches. With jelly if we chose.
Consider the world versus the peanut today. A massive change in how we do business.
Is anybody asking what happened? A massive metabolic change in a significant part of the population happened overnight, requiring endless changes and requirements. And nobody knows, nor seems to care, what happened.
Isn’t this worth wondering about? And if not, why not? Could not, if it were “fixed”, millions of people be relieved of inconvenience and risk of anaphylactic shock? Wouldn’t that be a good idea? Anybody care? Wouldn’t it be a good thing if an allergic kid could take a pill a week in case he should be sitting next to somebody who’d had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch?
No? Why not?
Anyway, point is–repeating the metaphor alert–massive metabolic changes can happen, and do. See peanuts.
Then there’s autism. Reports of autism getting more and more common. Is this true? Anybody check? Care? Know? No? Why not?
Jill Escher, mother of two profoundly-handicapped autistic kids, has written on the subject, is an energetic advocate and researcher. Among other things, she has an article in the recent Free Press. Includes the term “surge”.
Couple of notes. Used to be, high functioning autism–not particularly far into the Spectrum–was known as “Aspergers Syndrome” until they found out what Asperger did in his spare time, so it’s been folded into “autism”. Is that the reason for the increase in reported cases?
Autism is cute, fun, see the guy draw the Manhattan skyline, it’s neurodiversity. Used to be a tough thing to have to face and now it’s a GIFT?
Point about autism and the jab is the possible or practically impossible to doubt increase in cases of autism. Ought to be as odd as the peanut thing. It had to come from someplace. Any ideas, or are we going to just pass over the question while expending energy slandering those who wonder?
The peanut phenomenon shows us that odd changes–and no matter how we diminish the issue by sneering “peanut”–you need a massive metabolic change for it to be the case. Which has to some from somewhere. Anybody?
And if, in fact, there is an increase in autism, especially the profound cases, is there not a rational case to be made for investigating possible external causes? And if there are no external causes….?
Jay Guevara’s point about emotional investment would, I submit, apply here, and that would take in the vaxing issue, the silencing of those asking questions.
In sum, the peanut allergy came out of nowhere. Has an autism surge arrived and if so, why? From where? And is anybody bothering to look into it? Why or why not? Did the Covid lesson sink in?
I have been unable to copy the link to the Jill Escher story in Free Press, but there are numerous pieces by her on the subject available for search.
Is RFKjr going to be pilloried for opening a subject not welcome by some? Guevara’s “spittle-flecked” applies here, too. You’d think that, if a rational answer were available, it would save on spittle.
War sucks. Roosia sucks ever more for starting this war. Your point is what, again?
Richard Aubrey–
Interesting questions and worth investigating but, given recent history, just who, what organization would you trust, today, to do the investigating, and would you be able to trust any conclusions they might come to?
Before my hippie uncle died, I scanned his family photos to digital, including a studio photograph of my grandmother when she was a 20s flapper.
Sometimes, when my grandmother was in a good mood, she would smile, wink, and say, “Boop Oop A Doop,” Betty Boop’s catchphrase.
See Betty walk a tightrope, tame lions and fight off the circus manager!
These days most Americans have no idea how wild and fun those early animated cartoons were.
Snow on Pine,
yet
Thinking about the role of the rhetorical question in regards to the peanut allergy issue. Given its sudden appearance, wouldn’t one expect some interest in its origin and cause? Given the rather substantial adjustments society has had to make, wouldn’t one expect somebody to be looking for a fix? Two inescapable “yes”. answers.
Then, “is anybody?”. No.
Why not? Nobody’s ever marveled at my IQ, beven I noticed the–lack of–issue. Seems as if when something is sufficiently obvious, not knowing about it is an active process, not a matter of not noticing.
And applying the same to autism would leave us where? Escher’s recent piece on the “surge” includes some infuriating descriptions about how part of the neurological establishment is seeking to diminish the importance and difficulty of autism.
Origin?
Flix?
Prevention?
The number of pharmaceutical ads on television outnumber even those for My Pillow. Quite obviously there is massive attention to one’s health in this culture, and the money to be made in the area.
Would not that generate some interest in preventing or ameliorating autism to a greater extent than currently?
I guess the question is whether we’d be hearing about research efforts. There’s always something new about cancer…..
Without taking a guess as to cause, I’d say the current situation is fertile ground for any conspiracy theory one might name. Something has to fill the gap. It’s human nature to want answers and they have to come from some place.
So whether one is an anti-vaxxer or insists on conception according to Milankovitch Cycles, if nobody has a better answer….
“…vexing…”
Now THAT is absolutely brilliant!
Barry,
Like to take credit but I think it was autocorrect.
I don’t live in a world of make believe where our stockpiles are being depleted, on the denial of a forever war, we saw in afghanistan, all the broken bodies were for naught, some joke,
Yeah, but it was YOUR autocorrect.
Ergo…
Love it! Er, love yer autocorrect.
(In any event, I guess that would make me an anti-vexxer…since I shy from controversy…well, some of the time.)
Richard Aubrey–
Given the multiplicity of what appear to be the major problems/issues we face today, it is hard to pick out which are the most important ones to understand, and to try to tackle.
Moreover, the MSM, Academia, and other parts of the Establishment (for their own purposes and benefit) are doing their damnedest to focus our attention on the items they want us to focus on, and on getting us to ignore and/or to bury the items that they don’t want us to focus on, to understand, and to come to grips with.
The most prominent recent example obviously COVID, in which the powers that be—most of our political leaders, and assorted public health and medical “experts”–ran a very comprehensive, and effective, disinformation campaign against us, as we were showered with a whole truckload of “official” bullshit, disinformation, and misdirection–frightened, panicked, pushed and shoved, coerced into going in the direction they wanted us to go in–with those few dissenters holding contrary opinions just shut down, and “canceled.”
This, it looks like, a dry run, to see how easy it might be to strip away our Rights and Freedom in a supposed “Emergency.”
Moreover, while everyone has had their attention focused on supposed “Global Warming,” on “Green Energy,” and on supposed overpopulation, the solutions to these problems—switching away from nuclear energy, coal, and petroleum (“Just Stop Oil”) resulting in possible deaths in Europe being predicted for this coming winter (and reportedly, in some parts of Europe, they’re already cutting down forests to go back to wood as a heating source), massive investments in things like banks of Chinese produced solar cells (which, in the end, enrich China while producing more pollution, when you consider the costs and inputs needed to produce them and, then, to dispose of them), Electric cars (which not only have the same problems with inputs and then disposal—with battery fires in between–but also with very high costs, specially the cost of replacement batteries), massive numbers of huge wind turbines (which are not only ineffective in providing enough power, and a blot on the landscape, but also reportedly kill off large numbers of birds), and massive numbers of abortions, particularly among the black population (Margaret Sanger smiles), all things that have the net effect of not strengthening, but weakening our societies and us as individuals.
Here are just a couple of candidates for alternative things which should be focused on and investigated–
1. Our present and predicted major population declines, coupled with the reported major decrease in sperm counts in the nations of the West.
2. The massive increase, over the last several decades, in autism and allergies among children.
Something in our processed foods, some other environmental cause?
While we have had our heads deliberately turned in the other direction, under the surface, something else has been happening.

These are vile smears. And they are the standard tactics of Democrats today in every sphere and every context. Democrats lie, steal and cheat. They lie and slander relentlessly. About everything.
These vicious, evil people are engaged in a full scale assault on every part of our society, our culture, our constitution, and ultimately our nation.
Democrats are evil. The masks are off. The truth is laid bare. It is undeniable. To be a Democrat is no longer excusable. Period.
Huge numbers of Ds supported prison for those who didn’t submit to the jabs. They wanted children taken away from parents who resisted. They support censorship. They support an unconscionable jihad against Trump. They are evil. Know them by their actions and words. Their desires are vile. Their hatred and contempt is all-encompassing.

RE: UFOs and the Overton Window
With regard to UFOs there has been a rather dramatic shift of the Overton Window– how people think about UFOs, and what is reasonable discussion about the subject.
Giving credit where credit is due, the December 2017 New York Times story revealing the existence of the DOD’s formerly secret AATIP program studying the UFO phenomenon, and introducing it’s former head, Lou Elizondo, what he had to say and, then, the TICTAC, GIMBAL, and GO FAST videos, started the ball rolling.
Through his intense, several year campaign of seemingly innumerable appearances in interviews, in videos, in a TV series, and at various conferences, Lou Elizondo waged a campaign to heighten the public’s awareness of the nuts and bolts of this issue, as well as the many profound issues it raises.
It appears that, behind the scenes as well, Elizondo and former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon—and probably others—also worked to bring this issue to the attention of members Congress.
In the years since that 2017 article there have been a continuing—and building–series of revelations and information which have apparently heightened attention to this issue in the public’s mind, and gotten the attention of Congress.
Congress has apparently awakened to the serious and urgent nature of this issue, thus, several recent pieces of bi-partisan legislation—now law–which increased protections for any whistleblowers who might want to come forward with information about UFOs, and which laid a number of increasingly strict requirements on DOD and the Intelligence Community to disclose to Congress any secret crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs, and actual crash debris or intact craft they might have in their possession, or handed off to private industry, the information on UFOs that these agencies have acquired over the last 80 years, as well as a requirement that these agencies give an accounting of the role these agencies have played regarding this issue during those 80 years.
We will see if the DOD and the Intelligence Community actually do what these laws require them to do, and supply the information that they have been told to come up with.
Signs of some type of Disclosure in the near future (perhaps Disclosure only to Congress, with a lesser disclosure to the public) seem to be gathering momentum, moving faster and faster.
Some recent signs of this shift–the head of AARO, Dr. Shaun Kirkpatrick, going from his dismissive Congressional briefing of a few months ago to saying, in a very recent interview, that part of his research is to “guard against extraterrestrial technological supremacy.”
Another sign is the proposed UFO language just introduced by Senators Schumer, Gillibrand and others in a Senate Amendment to the 2024 NDAA, which discusses “off-world technology,” and “Non Human Intelligences.”
Unless, say, Lou Elizondo, suddenly appears as a fourth surprise witness, I do not expect a great deal from the upcoming House Oversight Hearing on UFOs, which is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, July 26th.
The three announced witnesses have already appeared on TV and said their pieces.
So unless they–and particularly DOD whistleblower David Grusch–reveal some new and startling information, what I do expect to result from this hearing is a much wider dissemination of the information–up until now basically embargoed and/or dismissed and ridiculed by the MSM–they have to offer about UFOs, and about the how the government has handled this issue.
My grandmother (lived to 102) was the pissiest, most cantankerous and judgmental old broad you could ever meet.
Then my mother came across her photo stash. Her gear was more risque than that in the video.
RE: UFOs and Disclosure
Looking back over the, at least, 80 year history of the government’s involvement in the UFO issue, what many people see is a continuing see-saw battle, between those within the government who are in favor of more disclosure vs. those who want little or none.
Over the decades the no disclosure faction has generally prevailed, and only on a few occasions has the disclosure faction been able to get some small measure of transparency, or some information–a statement or document here or there–released.
Right now, against great pressure from the non-disclosure faction–the disclosure faction seems to be winning.
The question is, this time, will the very strong non-disclosure faction be able to “put the toothpaste back in the tube, ” the “genie back in the bottle.”

I will. Tiresome bints are no bloody good.
ArtDeco–If I remember correctly, there have been similar reports about this same situation in the past.
It is sometimes hard to have sympathy for those countries which have so blindly and foolishly allowed the influx of massive numbers of basically unassimilable and volatile Muslims; Muslims, many of whom, are hostile to these country’s core cultures, norms, and religions.
However, it has not been the common people who have made these decisions, it has been the leaders of these countries who have made these suicidal decisions, which have imported a very formidable danger to the sovereignty, safety, order, and stability into each one of these countries.
Sadly, it is not these leaders–hidden behind the walls of their gated communities and their bodyguards–who will suffer the results of their foolish and suicidal decisions–the people attacked and killed, the women harassed and sometimes raped, the businesses, cars, churches, and houses burned down, the public squares and towns taken over/occupied by Muslim zealots, the schools and universities disrupted–it is the common people.
“On December 18, 1972, a few weeks after Biden was elected senator, his wife Neilia and one-year-old daughter Naomi were killed in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping in Hockessin, Delaware.[23][46] Neilia’s station wagon was hit by a semi-trailer truck as she pulled out from an intersection. Their sons Beau (aged 3) and Hunter (aged 2) were taken to the hospital in fair condition, Beau with a broken leg and other wounds and Hunter with a minor skull fracture and other head injuries.” The driver of the truck was uninjured. If you look at a Google map you will see that this was a fairly rural level intersection with no visual interference.
Less than a month later with his young wife and daughter dead we have this:
“In January 1973, secretary of the Senate Francis R. Valeo swore Biden in at the Delaware Division of the Wilmington Medical Center” where his sons were still recovering from their injuries.
People living on the east coast have a lot more memory of the east coast mafia than those of us who grew up out west. They will tell you that this looks very suspicious. It is my opinion that Joe Biden has been dirty at least since this event! He has never been his own man.
My second thought for today: Why the heck can’t the FBI, DOJ, Congress do anything to get the Russian Mafia off of the docks in Brooklyn–out of New York, out of this country?
They have had a strong presence there since at least the late 1970’s.

Re: UFOs
“Some recent signs of this shift–the head of AARO, Dr. Shaun Kirkpatrick, ………….saying, that part of his research is to “guard against extraterrestrial technological supremacy.
Give me a break; present day military technology is neanderthal level vs. UFO technology. There is nothing to guard against. UFOs can do whatever they please and there is nothing earthlings can do about it.
As far as new laws /requirements for the DOD and intelligence agencies fessing up about what they know; Joe Biden will become lucid and be able to walk without tripping over his own feet, before these agencies (or really any federal agency) comes clean.
If UFOs were phony-baloney, the DOD and other agencies would never have established organizations to investigate this stuff.
What I do not understand is why any info on UFOs is classified and why all UFO info has not been revealed.
I mean, does anyone really expect the citizenry to go bonkers if it’s revealed that UFOs are real??
But hey, that is the nature of bureaucracies, expand their reach and purpose far beyond what they originally were supposed to do. Exhibit #1: the Federal Reserve
“If UFOs were phony-baloney, the DOD and other agencies would never have established organizations to investigate this stuff.”
Otay. UnFalsifiable Opinion. A UFO.
As I read about yet another upcoming Trump indictment, the silence of the media on the Biden crime family is deafening.
I can only interpret this as a signal that the Democrats have decided to simply ignore the findings of congressional investigations, and rely on the corrupt media and judiciary to help them imprison Trump and protect Biden.
They have let Biden blunder them into a corner, and the way out requires that they choose between losing power and destroying the integrity of the country.
Long habit tells us which they will pick.
You have to admit, it’s a little awkward that a large percentage of people inhabiting the planet are walking around with the best cameras in history coupled with prodigious memory capacity for not only pictures, but videos, on a device allowing instantaneous communication.
All of these devices available at all of these fingertips, rumors abounding about the pervasive presence of UFOs in modern society – and not a single TikTok, not a single Facebook message, no Twitter pix, nada. Just endless stories about classified documents and Congressional testimony, and eyewitnesses. All of whom, apparently, do not have phone service. Some of them, flying warplanes and jetliners with the most sophisticated avionics in history, but still…. no closeups.
I bet even Big Foot has a monthly plan, by now.
Women exposing their legs was a great departure from all prior standards in decorum. An early precursor to the sexual revolution?
I recall that when I was younger, I used to regularly check up on several UFO websites (this was early web, prior to social media). The photos were indeed often blurry. Some were quite sharp, but were criticized as “obvious fakes” because of it!
Before that, I attended many airshows and took shots of aircraft with a decent 35mm camera. Result: a collection of dots!
Ps. I should have clarified that I took photos of FLYING aircraft and got a series of dots! I soon figured out that if I wanted nice photos of planes, take them when the planes were on static display – parked!
Aggie–If you clicked on the Dr.Kevin Knuth link in a previous comment of mine, you would notice that he talks about the incredible amounts of energy that he calculates are needed to perform some of the maneuvers that UFOs perform–Lou Elizondo’s “six observables”–of the tremendous electromagnetic fields generated by genuinely unidentified UFOs, and that these actual UFOs often emit incredibly intense and powerful light on the visible spectrum. (Knuth apparently sees these extremely powerful emissions of visible light as just wasted energy, and the fact that they can “waste” so much energy, an indicator of the enormous amounts of power those operating UFOs have to play with; far, far more energy than we here on Earth can presently generate.)
Perhaps these energy levels and their attendant effects (perhaps a plasma field surrounding UAPs?) might be the reason why no one has gotten a really good picture of such UFOs–at least no pictures that have so far been released.
JohnTyler–Of all the many reasons which have been proposed as motivations for keeping information about UFOs, crash retrievals, reverse engineering programs, and Aliens deeply secret and extremely closely held, I’m afraid that I’m starting to lean towards the idea that to release such information would be to admit that we humans are totally defenseless in the face of beings who have a vastly superior technology–that in this situation we really have no agency–that, contrary to all the “beings of Light,” “Space Brothers” blather–perhaps some of these Aliens are hostile, and that their plans for us humans are, shall we say, not what we would want, “less than optimal” for us humans.
UFOs fly so fast they don’t have to obey physics or UFOs have cloaking devices or some dude did some maths …..
Lets see, the evil Military Industrial Complex of aerospace companies are doing reverse engineering of UFOs, but the UFOs are made of materials that we have no way of understanding or obtaining or fabricating. The UFOs are bigger on the inside than their external volume. Not engineering, magic. See Unicorns.
Sounds like Rocky and Bullwinkle; UFOs are powered by “upsidasium” and have “hushaboom.”

RE: UFOs–”guarding against extraterrestrial technological supremacy”
While over the last 80 years or so we have been going about our lives, unknown but to a small number of people, the UFO issue has been running in the background.
This phrase, uttered by Dr. Shaun Kirkpatrick, the head of AARO, in a very recent interview, strikes me as being of perhaps critical significance.
Why, one asks, do you need to spend time thinking about, much less “guarding against extraterrestrial technological supremacy,” if all UFOs are, in the end, readily explainable as mere misperceptions of one kind or the other, and–while conceding that Aliens might possibly exist somewhere out in the Galaxy and Universe–believing that such Aliens are certainly not directing/piloting the UFOs which are zipping, with impunity, through the skies over virtually every country on Earth, are seen entering, exiting our oceans, and traveling through them, traveling up into Earth orbit, and, perhaps, beyond?
Since his dismissive briefing to Congress about UFOs of a few months ago Dr. Kirpatrick has heard/found out something, and it has apparently changed his attitude, what he thinks of the UFO/UAP issue, moving him from his dismissive attitude and approach to something very different.
He says in this recent interview that some 30 witnesses have come to ARRO with their testimony, which he says, did not meet his standards for “proof.”
But, judging from this phrase, something, it seems, has made a seemingly radical change in his view of and his focus on the UFO issue.

Barry, about Meloni and Italy and Europe. Since you read Zerohedge, you may have read from other pieces a source named Remix News.
This is an English language news web site based in Hungary, backed by a Right-leaning foundation there.
But their news focus is Central Europe, or basically from Germany and Austria and nations to the East.
Back in this Spring, there’s been a flurry of articles in the Leftist MSM, on the theme of CPACs new base in Hungary — which is now holding annual confabs and special events there.
And because the Lingua Franca of the EU is now English, hosting American and European Right-side stars.
In May, the Arizona TV anchor turned candidate for Governor Kari Lake attended, and was impressed.
Thus, there’s an interesting cross-pollination of political seriousness being supported there. If you don’t look, you could miss out on it.

I read Hubert’s link. It’s depressing, but true. So many things out of kilter.
One that especially got my attention – our economy is phony. So true. We no longer seem to care about producing wealth – mining, logging, oil/gas drilling, powerplants, manufacturing plants, heavy machinery plants, etc. Instead, we are a mostly an economy of paper shufflers, computer cowboys, internet influencers, and sellers of cheap foreign goods. We are dependent on countries that don’t like us for many necessities. We spend big money on frivolous things – $1600 for a thicket to the Taylor Swift concert last night, and big bucks to execute DEI etc.
I was a Naval Aviator for 21 years. I look back and recall how many things had to be done correctly to get a division (4) of aircraft into the air in mission ready condition. Power plants mechanics, aviation metal smiths, electronic specialists (twidgets), and plane captains all had to do their jobs right. The mission had to be planned, briefed, and executed by aviators who could fly and think, making changes as necessary as conditions changed. The aircraft carrier had to maneuver, get up speed, have the catapults ready, have their deck crew perform their job of getting the airplanes safely on the cats and into the air. All dependent on people, knowing their jobs and executing them to the best of their ability. A weak link in the team and the job is not done well or even fails. Serious, responsible people can do things like this. Unserious, incapable people can’t. That’s where we’re headed. Can we reverse course? I pray that it’s possible. I fear that it’s not.

Kind of a clearing house—serious with mostly sensible articles…
https://europeanconservative.com/news/
Art D.: “No, you’ve bought into the idea that people voluntarily pay for services because they are stupid and only goods production is ‘real’. You should have better ideas.”
And there was a need for banking or insurance before anyone had produced a tangible good like a basket of corn, a bow and arrows, or a hunting spear? The basic industries created the need for certain services that allow them to be mor efficient and resilient. Without that production there would be little need for the services.
Without then production of usable raw materials and the fashioning them into usable goods there is little wealth created. This was the status of humans for thousands of years until the industrial revolution allowed us to create undreamed of wealth by manufacturing usable goods in quantities that made them available to the common people. Wealth that allows people to spend $1600 dollars to hear a woman sing for an hour or so. Without that wealth, the woman would not be able to command such prices. Too few people understand that. Our basic industries are our crown jewels. You disagree? Fine, I don’t agree with a lot of your ideas either.
wrt RFKjr and vexing:
Metaphor alert: I graduated high school in 62. Then and for some time later, we could purchase, instead of the hot meal in the cafeteria, peanut butter sandwiches. With jelly if we chose.
Consider the world versus the peanut today. A massive change in how we do business.
Is anybody asking what happened? A massive metabolic change in a significant part of the population happened overnight, requiring endless changes and requirements. And nobody knows, nor seems to care, what happened.
Isn’t this worth wondering about? And if not, why not? Could not, if it were “fixed”, millions of people be relieved of inconvenience and risk of anaphylactic shock? Wouldn’t that be a good idea? Anybody care? Wouldn’t it be a good thing if an allergic kid could take a pill a week in case he should be sitting next to somebody who’d had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch?
No? Why not?
Anyway, point is–repeating the metaphor alert–massive metabolic changes can happen, and do. See peanuts.
Then there’s autism. Reports of autism getting more and more common. Is this true? Anybody check? Care? Know? No? Why not?
Jill Escher, mother of two profoundly-handicapped autistic kids, has written on the subject, is an energetic advocate and researcher. Among other things, she has an article in the recent Free Press. Includes the term “surge”.
Couple of notes. Used to be, high functioning autism–not particularly far into the Spectrum–was known as “Aspergers Syndrome” until they found out what Asperger did in his spare time, so it’s been folded into “autism”. Is that the reason for the increase in reported cases?
Autism is cute, fun, see the guy draw the Manhattan skyline, it’s neurodiversity. Used to be a tough thing to have to face and now it’s a GIFT?
Point about autism and the jab is the possible or practically impossible to doubt increase in cases of autism. Ought to be as odd as the peanut thing. It had to come from someplace. Any ideas, or are we going to just pass over the question while expending energy slandering those who wonder?
The peanut phenomenon shows us that odd changes–and no matter how we diminish the issue by sneering “peanut”–you need a massive metabolic change for it to be the case. Which has to some from somewhere. Anybody?
And if, in fact, there is an increase in autism, especially the profound cases, is there not a rational case to be made for investigating possible external causes? And if there are no external causes….?
Jay Guevara’s point about emotional investment would, I submit, apply here, and that would take in the vaxing issue, the silencing of those asking questions.
In sum, the peanut allergy came out of nowhere. Has an autism surge arrived and if so, why? From where? And is anybody bothering to look into it? Why or why not? Did the Covid lesson sink in?
I have been unable to copy the link to the Jill Escher story in Free Press, but there are numerous pieces by her on the subject available for search.
Is RFKjr going to be pilloried for opening a subject not welcome by some? Guevara’s “spittle-flecked” applies here, too. You’d think that, if a rational answer were available, it would save on spittle.

War sucks. Roosia sucks ever more for starting this war. Your point is what, again?
Richard Aubrey–
Interesting questions and worth investigating but, given recent history, just who, what organization would you trust, today, to do the investigating, and would you be able to trust any conclusions they might come to?
Before my hippie uncle died, I scanned his family photos to digital, including a studio photograph of my grandmother when she was a 20s flapper.
Sometimes, when my grandmother was in a good mood, she would smile, wink, and say, “Boop Oop A Doop,” Betty Boop’s catchphrase.
See Betty walk a tightrope, tame lions and fight off the circus manager!

These days most Americans have no idea how wild and fun those early animated cartoons were.
Snow on Pine,
yet
Thinking about the role of the rhetorical question in regards to the peanut allergy issue. Given its sudden appearance, wouldn’t one expect some interest in its origin and cause? Given the rather substantial adjustments society has had to make, wouldn’t one expect somebody to be looking for a fix? Two inescapable “yes”. answers.
Then, “is anybody?”. No.
Why not? Nobody’s ever marveled at my IQ, beven I noticed the–lack of–issue. Seems as if when something is sufficiently obvious, not knowing about it is an active process, not a matter of not noticing.
And applying the same to autism would leave us where? Escher’s recent piece on the “surge” includes some infuriating descriptions about how part of the neurological establishment is seeking to diminish the importance and difficulty of autism.
Origin?
Flix?
Prevention?
The number of pharmaceutical ads on television outnumber even those for My Pillow. Quite obviously there is massive attention to one’s health in this culture, and the money to be made in the area.
Would not that generate some interest in preventing or ameliorating autism to a greater extent than currently?
I guess the question is whether we’d be hearing about research efforts. There’s always something new about cancer…..
Without taking a guess as to cause, I’d say the current situation is fertile ground for any conspiracy theory one might name. Something has to fill the gap. It’s human nature to want answers and they have to come from some place.
So whether one is an anti-vaxxer or insists on conception according to Milankovitch Cycles, if nobody has a better answer….
“…vexing…”
Now THAT is absolutely brilliant!
Barry,
Like to take credit but I think it was autocorrect.
I don’t live in a world of make believe where our stockpiles are being depleted, on the denial of a forever war, we saw in afghanistan, all the broken bodies were for naught, some joke,
Yeah, but it was YOUR autocorrect.
Ergo…
Love it! Er, love yer autocorrect.
(In any event, I guess that would make me an anti-vexxer…since I shy from controversy…well, some of the time.)
Richard Aubrey–
Given the multiplicity of what appear to be the major problems/issues we face today, it is hard to pick out which are the most important ones to understand, and to try to tackle.
Moreover, the MSM, Academia, and other parts of the Establishment (for their own purposes and benefit) are doing their damnedest to focus our attention on the items they want us to focus on, and on getting us to ignore and/or to bury the items that they don’t want us to focus on, to understand, and to come to grips with.
The most prominent recent example obviously COVID, in which the powers that be—most of our political leaders, and assorted public health and medical “experts”–ran a very comprehensive, and effective, disinformation campaign against us, as we were showered with a whole truckload of “official” bullshit, disinformation, and misdirection–frightened, panicked, pushed and shoved, coerced into going in the direction they wanted us to go in–with those few dissenters holding contrary opinions just shut down, and “canceled.”
This, it looks like, a dry run, to see how easy it might be to strip away our Rights and Freedom in a supposed “Emergency.”
Moreover, while everyone has had their attention focused on supposed “Global Warming,” on “Green Energy,” and on supposed overpopulation, the solutions to these problems—switching away from nuclear energy, coal, and petroleum (“Just Stop Oil”) resulting in possible deaths in Europe being predicted for this coming winter (and reportedly, in some parts of Europe, they’re already cutting down forests to go back to wood as a heating source), massive investments in things like banks of Chinese produced solar cells (which, in the end, enrich China while producing more pollution, when you consider the costs and inputs needed to produce them and, then, to dispose of them), Electric cars (which not only have the same problems with inputs and then disposal—with battery fires in between–but also with very high costs, specially the cost of replacement batteries), massive numbers of huge wind turbines (which are not only ineffective in providing enough power, and a blot on the landscape, but also reportedly kill off large numbers of birds), and massive numbers of abortions, particularly among the black population (Margaret Sanger smiles), all things that have the net effect of not strengthening, but weakening our societies and us as individuals.
Here are just a couple of candidates for alternative things which should be focused on and investigated–
1. Our present and predicted major population declines, coupled with the reported major decrease in sperm counts in the nations of the West.
2. The massive increase, over the last several decades, in autism and allergies among children.
Something in our processed foods, some other environmental cause?
While we have had our heads deliberately turned in the other direction, under the surface, something else has been happening.
