Epstein proved that there's never a bad time to take out someone but sooner is always better. The very second the official word came in that he committed suicide, every "reputable" news source ran a story on it and promptly stopped covering him or anything related to him. gently caress, despite the mountain of actual evidence presented at his loving trial, the concept that there are elites trafficking children is still a conspiracy theory.

If Grusch were gunned down Oswald-style as he left a congressional hearing the media would have their marching orders that it was a lone wolf before the evening news.

this is why doing it “by the book” is really the only way for disclosure to happen.

relatedly I think it’s the only way for an “ontological shock” to happen. institutions that control discourse have to be on board, and because there is a power hierarchy at work there, the change has to come from the top.

also why just going wild card and releasing the high-res evidence we all naturally want before that institutional shift would be self-sabotaging to the overall goal.

I enjoyed it well enough, especially the start, but it suffered from the same problem a lot of sci-fi mystery shows have, which is that the solution to the central mystery is far less interesting than the mystery itself.

Still have folks replicating/validating it. Several individuals have replicated the material and observed magnetic levitation. Only one (the lab in China) has released a resistivity test which show superconductivity at 110K. However their sample did not show Meissner effect and their results don’t look “normal” and include what looks like a measurement error.

It’s difficult to measure that with impure samples where only some of the material is LK-99.

Jury is still out basically, but whatever this is, it is definitely a superconductor of some kind.

It does seem to be unique enough that even if it ends up not being room temperature it may open the way to find one based on the novel way it works.

Southeast University got superconductivity at ~110K in their test, which is obviously not room temperature but that's in line with other cuprate superconductors at the least.

You don’t know me, but I’m a retired Army JAG so I know about whistleblower stuff, and how IGs work and I hear people say he isn’t a whistleblower and he didn’t see the alien bodies himself and he doesn’t have any first hand evidence aliens exist—or it’s hearsay, these comments aren’t wrong, but he’s not whistleblowing by testifying aliens exist to congress and congress barely cares about aliens—if you listen closely to the comments of @timburchett, @aoc, and @mattgaetz, I’m sure they believe the part about aliens, but that’s not their big issue. They’re mad about how defense contractors are in control of our military.

Here’s the TLDR. Grusch perfectly meets the definition of a whistleblower because he got professionally crushed (I’m pretty sure) when he discovered and reported contract fraud around these SAPs).Bbut it’s funny because a lot of people are distracted by the sensational aspect of these special access programs—aliens and alien space ships. Remember, Grusch isn’t whistleblowing to you or to congress. He blew the whistle to the IG. The IG found this credible and told congress.

I suspect Grusch asked an SAP contractor for his contract statement of work to see what was being done for the SAP and they didn’t show him, then he probably said show me the invoices for your work so I can see what you do (because I do the oversight now) and they couldn’t show him invoices for the SAP work they were doing, so he probably brought one contractor in and put him under oath in the SCIF and he got him to confess that they overbill for hammers and toilet seats to launder money so they can pay saps under the table (by padding invoices for other legit service contracts) that aren’t authorized by contract to avoid congressional oversight. Then some General probably fired Grusch who uncovered this government contract fraud/waste/abuse. So the IG checks the math and agrees, and they take it to congress because it’s DoD/pentagon senior leader misconduct that might indicate the defense contracting industry (military industrial complex) has bribed the most senior leaders of the pentagon with 7-8 figure salaries in post military retirement employment—so it’s getting gnarly fast and the fact that everything is to cover up the existence of aliens and alien space ships is just trivia at this point.

Then Grusch’s life is threatened and @rosscoulthart steps in and offers him an interview to go public because once he does it makes no sense to kill him, it will only become more public—so he gives the interview. But DOD approves it and they probably said ok, you can talk about aliens a little but you can’t talk about how the pentagon is corrupt. So he’s definitely a whistleblower and he s given all the evidence about that he needs to to the IG. He’s not whistleblowing to the public or congress to prove his claims—the IG has it and they believe him. But you feel like he’s trying to convince you aliens exist and we have recovered flying saucers—they do and we have them, but that’s what you care about, congress cares about the DoD corruption and the military industrial complex capture of the pentagon and them not being in control of how tax payer dollars are spent, Grusch doesn’t care what we believe, he says if you want to know—I told the IG where everything is—look for yourself. And he’s suing the military for firing him from his job in the military and federal government because he discovered fraud and he got hammered over it, which absolutely makes him a whistleblower.

That’s what I sorted out from everything that was said at the congressional hearing on July 26. Pretty sure that’s the situation. I hear Grusch saying believe what you want—I’m telling you they exist and if you don’t believe me I told the IG everything I know and you can go see for yourself—and he thinks the people should be told and the tech/knowledge doesn’t belong to these aerospace companies.

There's a treaty between interstellar apes and interstellar dinosaurs

quote:

There's actually a really strong physics argument for aliens though. It's in The Real Prime Directive--there's a law in physics called "the stationary action principle" it's pretty much that the action is minimized, which just means energy does exactly what physics says it will, water always flows downhill, projectiles move in parabolas...and your matter is energy, and dna is in your matter, so your DNA is in your energy and that is a fact. So that means that because the law of conservation of mass energy, your dna has been in the universe from the very beginning of time and that too is a fact, and that means that because your energy follows the stationary action principle, and that's based on the conditions in the environment, then in any sufficiently earthlike environment, human beings will evolve and that too is a fact. Since our planet is 4.6Byo, and it took from 0 to 4.54By to evolve up to prehistoric dinosaurs with almost no mammals except for maybe a rat, up till then, but got a reset from a meteor strike yesterday (in cosmic time), and now 0.06By later the planet has humans with nukes. So in a 14.5Byo universe where we got a planetary reset yesterday, Earth can only be an exoplanet colony of a interstellar human species, which explains the missing link (the only species on earth who have RH+/- blood with no evolutionary trace in between are the chimp and the human with no evolutionary trace in between. So that means that humans are a colony of this interstellar species who were placed here after the dinosaurs were wiped out with a meteor (terraforming) and we were placed here in violation of The Real Prime Directive, which is a treaty between interstellar apes and interstellar dinosaurs where we promised eachother that we won't meddle in evolution and we'll leave planets alone until they achieve a certain level of development before they're invited to join the Real Federation of Planets. Yep. Star Trek is real. legit. But we know aliens are real because the energy of our matter means that in any sufficiently earth-like environment humans are inevitable and we know that because we are here and energy always follows physics, so in any sufficiently earth-like environment humans will evolve there too and that is a fact. And if it only takes time for humans to become interstellar, then in a 14Byo universe, there are humans of billions of years of evolution and they are the ones who put us here on earth and that is probably a fact... maybe...probably....I'm pretty sure.
