This is good. More evidence that AARO is bullshit and doesn't have the authority for the real stuff.

quote:

Intelligence community sources speaking to Liberation Times state that neither the DoD nor AARO possesses jurisdiction over the Intelligence Community's CAPs, some of which purportedly encompass retrieval and reverse engineering activities concerning non-human materials.

One source told Liberation Times that the DoD possesses zero authority to grant the AARO access to CAPs - nor would they have the authority to receive testimony and evidence from Grusch relating to such programs.

Sources have informed Liberation Times that only the Intelligence Community’s Controlled Access Program Coordination Office (CAPCO) could grant authorities relating to CAPs.

That's not the only obstacle AARO would face; the office would also require approval from the CIA. Human-Sourced Intelligence Control System Operations (HCS-O) would require specific CIA approval separate from DoD SAPCO and IC CAPCO.

Any unauthorised disclosures relating to HCS-O programs would be taken very seriously as it could expose ongoing operations and identities of assets providing the CIA with Human Intelligence.

Another concern raised by sources, which was not acknowledged by Dr. Kirkpatrick and OUSDI&S officials in their email exchanges, is that the AARO lack the authority to waive clearances for Controlled Access Programs with dual purposes. In essence, these are programs that are valid, significant, and legal, yet allegedly conceal operations involving materials of non-human intelligence.

if aliens existed in an every day common material way, like how humans do in the every day material world (driving to Arby’s, building a pipeline, being buried under a pyramid, brushing your teeth, etc) you would not need precise aim at small points of the night sky to see them. there would be evidence of them in any part of the sky you cared to look at . we don’t see them because they aren’t there in that specific way.

I think more and more earth is special. it is literally the center of that common every day universe and there isn’t anything out there in that every day material sense (that’s intelligent or lives like us in the common every day material way). the only reasons other galaxies exists is because we looked at them. they are kind of like a background wallpaper

I do think aliens probably exist tho , I suppose

i think you are on the money with this one.

I think we are all part of a united whole, an oversoul, and our experience on earth is a simulation or lower dimension that the oversoul explores. each one of us is like a finger dipped into a tide pool to feel anemones and sea urchins and stuff. except in this case the fingers are the billions of cross-dimensional tendrils--human souls--being dipped into our reality by the oversoul. the UAPs showing up may be an algorithm of sorts that is doing some kind of work on the simulation, also dipping in from a higher dimension to do something we cannot individually conceive of but may be deeply spiritual in the sense that our spiritual wellbeing may depend upon the work being done, i.e. preventing nuclear armaggedon so that we can continue to spiritually advance

when we die, our sensations and consciousness are given back to the oversoul in an instant; to the oversoul, time in this plane is accelerated, like how quickly our nervous system can send the signal to our brain that we touched a spiky sea urchin. so a little dip into this reality that we experience as a lifetime is just a sensation to the higher consciousness that we are all filaments of

a few highlights from the space drive article:

quote:

“The most important message to convey to the public is that a major discovery occurred,” Buhler told The Debrief. “This discovery of a New Force is fundamental in that electric fields alone can generate a sustainable force onto an object and allow center-of-mass translation of said object without expelling mass.”

.. their current devices, which Buhler told The Debrief “weigh somewhere between 30-40 grams on their own” without the attached test equipment, were producing enough thrust to counteract the full force of one Earth gravity.

Another unusual result from their tests was that sometimes the tested devices did not require a constant input of electrical charge to maintain their thrust. Given that the device already appears to violate the known laws of physics by creating thrust without propellant, this result even stumped Dr. Buhler and his team.

“We can see some of these things sit on a scale for days, and if they still have charge in them, they are still producing thrust,” he told Ventura. “It’s very hard to reconcile, from a scientific point of view because it does seem to violate a lot of energy laws that we have.”

“You can’t deny this,” he told Ventura. “There’s not a lot to this. You’re just charging up Teflon, copper tape, and foam, and you have this thrust.”


man if this is real it should be hoverboards and ufos for everyone. and it seems simple enough that a lot of people should be able to replicate it.

The thing that excited me about that article (beyond the obvious) was that thrust that strong is going to be really easy to verify for 3rd parties. Unlike the EM drive which had a (claimed) minuscule thrust so all the tests were very contentious, it is super easy to prove/debunk. In fact, I don't see much point in making the claim if it isn't real. The EM drive claim was explainable by the inventors not properly understanding what they were seeing because the thrust was so small, but there really isn't any way they could be misinterpreting thrust this powerful as something it's not.

If it's real we are about to make some really big leaps. Hopefully it scales well because it'll be amazing for space travel but if they can scale it up for things in Earth's gravity well we are going to get some amazing new poo poo to play with.
