Also, I swear I read or heard something way back when Lue first became a thing that he saved his squad of soldiers with physic powers or something. Does anyone else remember this? I've always felt like it was strange that it was never brought up anytime he asks us to trust him on something.

Fr though I "trust" him in the sense that I think he's the only one high up enough to have some personal reasons to be sure these drones aren't all drones.

No idea what to make of Grusch at this point, if he's grifting he's being pretty quiet about it, unless he's aiming for bigger fish then book buyers and Podcasters. And following that line of thought I'm not sure what to make of the Sol Foundation either.

Grusch is sincere in the same way that Nolan suggests Eric Davis must be (in that they are both openly on the autism spectrum and so don't really engage in deception in the sense that someone looking to actively manipulate you is capable)
He definitely saw a lot of poo poo, he talks the right talk for what I know of DoD compartmentalized work (which is admittedly very little firsthand... but not none)

He's probably at the same level as Lue or maybe a few steps beyond because he actually had the authority and mandate to dig a few layers deeper

but they still didn't let him gently caress the UFOs

Interesting. I'm going to trick Lue into remote viewing me and then immediately step aside to reveal my Goatse poster.

going back to my roots

I think Straton(sp) is the the key to all of this, he mentioned he was like able to unlock doors, but was eventually defunded. I think he was going to to be setup as the lead of Kona Blue, but things once again fizzled.

"JS: It was like building a business, was the analogy I use, because 2018 is when I was tasked to start building it and I knew what I needed. As you stated as I was walking on stage, you know, I’ve been involved in the other programs and knew the mistakes, and the paths that we should never go down. Because again, my job is to focus on that potential threat, potential concern…adversary, disruptive and emerging technologies, right? I keep jumping back to that. But it’s really looking at that technology. So, I knew I had a problem, you know, well before 2018 – because I’ve been doing this so long – of pilots reporting things. So, the first stop I made was, you know, with the aircrew, with a variety of the fleet-concentration centers (Any region of the world where large numbers of Navy ships congregate, such as Norfolk, Va. ~Joe) and talking to them and seeing where we’re at. And do they have data, right? Everywhere, I went…data, data, data.
And basically, that’s my customer. That’s who I’m looking in the eyes every day and saying, “We got this, we’re gonna try to figure out the answer for you.” From there, I gotta start trying to get those answers, so I need capabilities and authorities. And that’s where I went out to all of the, you know, across the intelligence community, to the other services, and walked in the door. And at this point, I was senior enough, rank-wise, that I can get in the door pretty easily. And I would go through the situation with them and make them understand that hey, “Here’s what we’ve got, and I need your help to try to solve this puzzle.” And I walked in knowing what I needed and I had an ask for every organization, just like when I asked to get Travis on the team. And I built out this infrastructure that, at the end of the day, was, you know, it kind of hurt me a little bit, in the recent news media, to hear, “Oh, what we need is an interagency, whole-of-government effort.” Well…I built that. And the government let it go away. And we started over again with the new group called AARO. So it’s frustrating, as a government employee, to go through and try to build up this thing, and [we] finally made what the government needs. And, you know, I’m briefing Congress about this whole government, interagency effort. I’m briefing all the way over to the White House. Everybody knew we had this thing, and it just fizzled away when I went away, when I went back to my regular job.
And I’ll explain that real quick, publicly. I was on rotation as a senior executive in the government and those positions don’t grow on trees. So Naval Intelligence loaned me to the DoD and the Pentagon, to lead the Task Force. That loan had an expiration date of January of 2021. So at the end of that loan date, my boss called me back said, “I need you here to do your job.” So I had to leave, and then, as I left, it’s kind of like, all the momentum fizzled away."

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

I've never read the book and didn't finish the show but at the end of the first episode of three body problem the Chinese lady gets a message like DONT RESPOND WE WILL COME AND RUIN YOUR poo poo she just immediately slams they "hey y'all" button anyway. I felt that.

tbqh i thought the books were terrible. i didn’t care for the writing even a little bit; the best part imo was the take on the cultural revolution. the tv show was a lot better for me personally i think.

the woman who told the aliens to come was an academic jailed during the cr; i agree that it was a great perspective. like, not evil, just tired of all the human bullshit.

I'm perfectly fine with people writing books about supposedly secret poo poo that the world needs to know if it is basically

me, an intellectual posted:

okay this book isn't about what I haven't told you. Its about all the things I have already told you. This book is for the process and my proofs in a way that I can gather and better and more eloquently express my thoughts and experiences. If you find out something through my logic and reasoning etc that I hadn't said but pieced it together. Great. Share that. Don't tell people to buy my book to find out but quote it. At the same time though, I got to eat. This book is a way to monetize my experiences so I can survive off that instead of like, i don't know, do appearances between shifts at Target to pay rent/food. But if you think that's a moral or whatever let me crash on your couch for a few weeks and have some of whatever is about to expire in your fridge. Not asking much. Maybe a peppermint schnapps once in a while.
