    Wow the US is really paying people to shitpost on Lemmy as part of their coverup. Someone must be really worried about the AOC and Matt Gaetz dream team coming for their ass.

    This kind of meme is disheartening seeing on Lemmy, that’s supposed to be full of open minded people. And I write that as someone who saw a real UFO in 1990 in Greece, together with others. The tech in 1990 was not there for the US to create a silent, gravity-defying, appearing and disappearing in-front-of-our-eyes vehicle. So this meme, AND the comments from the other lemmy posts in the last 2 days about the recent ufo events are rather insulting to me. The phenomenon is real.

    Edit: Also, I don’t understand the downvotes! You downvote anything you find going against your grain? My experience is my experience and it’s equally as valid!

      I think you’re taking it too personal.

      If it makes you feel better, for me its not about the phenomenon at all.

      Its about the source not having any credibility when topics touching militarism and war are concerned.

      And since an interest exists to weaponize space and this narrative fits the bill it might be true or not, but a comitte hearing, the pentagon or the intelligence community are as helpful in finding the truth as blindly guessing.

    Climate, real estate, price gouging, enshittification, health care, voter suppression… There’s an awful lot to distract us from.

    The whole point of an UFO is that it is unidentified. I don’t get how people instantly think that the aircraft is alien…

      Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.

        The thing I think a lot of people miss is that, if I’m not mistaken, due to his position he has to report on what he was told. It doesn’t matter if it sounds insane or he doesn’t have proof; his job is to tell Congress what he was told during his investigations. If he was told that it’s aliens, then that’s what he has to tell Congress.

        I want to believe it’s aliens. I think that’d be pretty cool. However, my speculation is that he was given false information by the military to try to make him sound nuts and get Congress off their backs. Either that or he wasn’t given the full picture. Just because something is non-human doesn’t mean it’s alien in origin. It could be unmanned drones that had mice, monkeys or dogs in them to test g-forces (not sure why you couldn’t use a dummy in this day and age, but that’s beside the point). It could be the result of some kind of experiment to use biological matter instead of silicon and wiring. It could be aliens. There still isn’t enough information for a definitive conclusion except that the US has had unidentified objects flying through controlled aerospace unimpeded.

    The only way we’re going to solve the climate crisis is through bloodshed (in Minecraft), I guarantee it. There’s too much money in it for anyone to willingly give up their golden goose. However, most people don’t want to kill each other and most people especially don’t want to be the first person to pull the trigger, because those people rarely live to see the fruits of their labor (in Minecraft). As such, might as well pretend there’s a potential alternative that doesn’t involve murdering people (in Minecraft).

      When more areas become unlivable due to temperature or rising sea levels, and more harvests start failing due to extreme weather, shit will get real fast.

        They’ve already started using razor wire traps in the Rio Grande to murder refugees fleeing the tropics.

        Clock is ticking until they deploy landmines.

            There are already instances of sheriffs deputizing citizens to help “police the border.”

            Now the psychos who couldn’t actually get a job doing this shit are allowed to do it for free.

    I like the interpretation that the UFO news is the equivalent of casual Friday for Congress. Everyone gets to wear silly hats and play pretend for a few hours, it breaks up the boring monotony of giving endless checks to the Pentagon.

    The problem is there seems to be a group of career Military bureaucrats and private contractors who are working on something they are not willing to share with Congress and diverting budget money to fund their little side project.

    Maybe it’s aliens? I have my doubts, but whatever is happening is outside the law and needs to be rooted out. These people were not elected and don’t get to decide what Congress can and cannot have access to.
