They say it's the lead paint, but I think it's just cos the rear end in a top hat boarder patrol people don't like aliens. :colbert:

this is the least likely argument against him imo, i don't see this being all that lucrative frankly unless he were to put out like some kind of pay to play conference that charges hundos a pop or whatever

Graves was literally just paid to show up in Mexico to lend credence to that scammer's farce. Grusch will go the same in short order. He probably already is given he's been on a bunch of podcasts and is quickly delving into crackpot territory with the stuff he's speculating about.

yeah my point is that there’s not as much money in the field - unless you’re being a super obvious scammer who charges for conferences and apps to contact aliens - as detractors would suggest

i mean how much was ya boy graves actually paid for this

I think there's a concerted effort to gently caress us up with ufo stories. I desperately want to believe but I think it's all bunk. That kinda sucks.

The reality is either:

Nobody here has any idea or power

Someone here knows AND we don't have power


Both options make the general public realize "nobody is in control" and that leads to full blown chaos.

There was no money in being a populist right wing grifter a decade ago either. UAP/UFO stuff is surging in popularity. Where there's an invested group of rubes wanting people with a veneer of authority to reinforce their preconceived notions, there will be funds aplenty. I'm surprised Trump hasn't tied this all to the deep state and how he'll reveal all the alien stuff if he gets elected to buy more conspiratorial votes like he did with the Kennedy assassination.

that’s not true though, rush limbaugh was worth more than half a billion dollars and started in the early 80s. i don’t think anybody has gotten exactly wealthy off of ufos

i still don’t think grusch is necessarily a grifter. that doesn’t mean he’s correct and his bad science opinions make him look worse

Grusch reminds me of some of the military intelligence people I used to know who were just completely clueless and not helpful at all to anybody, just constantly misreading the data to support their Tom Clancy nonsense scenarios. I would tell you more but we would need to discuss it in a SCIF so you'll all have to trust me on this, wink wink.

It also doesn't help that his biggest supporters in Congress are Tim "Hunter Biden's Laptop!" Burchett and Nancy "Antifa Vandalized My Home!" Mace.

Also, he testified under oath and could theoretically go to jail for lying, but that means nothing because how would they be able to prove it?

I’m not saying there are not aliens,

I’m not saying Gruntch is wrong, either, he may well believe what he says

something is going on and has been for some time

people sure are jumping to a whole heck of a lot of conclusions though

Yeah the Corridor Crew guys came to the same conclusion a few years ago, it's a relatively slow moving object filmed from a very fast moving plane and the parallax effect makes it look like the object is moving quickly

Every probe they sent past the moon punches through a giant projection screen and the other side is the "real space" along with a much bigger, better and more advanced Earth.

Turns out our Earth is basically the solar systems version of Australia where all the criminals and perverts from Earth Prime were sent millennia ago.

One of my favourite "hollow earth" crackpot theories was the Koreshans with their "Cellular Cosmogony" model, which posited that the world was actually on the inside of a sphere and the sun, moon and stars were being reflected off mercurial discs which floated in the centre of the hollow earth


Their cult leader renamed himself Koresh and claimed to be the new messiah but they don't seem to have any connection to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians as far as I can tell, that was just a complete coincidence
