Our argument then is that the US Government is in the process of hoaxing it's citizens into the belief that a hypothetical alien threat or invasion is about to take place.
they never claimed or used the words alien threat, you (and I) just did and with us X thousand people more
all they did was release the footage
(out of the goodness of their hearts presumably .why else would you all of a sudden release top secret UFO footage after keeping this secret for so long?)
That is utterly bizarre. It's an unprecedented form of conspiracy actually,
Why would that be utterly bizarre?
If they (and as Hensmon points out, other NATO countries) are perfectly willing to lie to your face and start a massive illegal war over in Irak, costing billions and billions of lives over the lie of "we have evidence of weapons of mass destruction" That had to go through the whole bureaucratic mill didn't it? same with things like the Lockheed scandal,
Why then would you deem it so ludicrous for them to just release a bunch of vague "secret" footage of unidentified objects, to sway public opinion more in favor of something as mundaine as additional airforce research/funding?
I wouldn't even label this a conspiracy or a cover up. This is what the pentagon does all the time to get more funds, the only difference this time went directly for the public/social media instead of the senators via the backdoor. Smart move. they're learning
hell, i wouldn't even call it lying.. The narrative/ stories already existed, the footage appears to be genuine/untampered with. so camera, infrared and radar imagery vague enough to warrant the label "dunno precisely" which is what they and every relevant expert proclaim when asked what their official statement on this is.
where's the lie?
- They neither dismiss aliens nor confirm them. They don't say it's Russia or China, they say 'I don't know'./
* I have to ask why pick Aliens over Russia or China as the premise for the threat?
- correct, they don't -> but they do mention them as well as the possibility that it might be aliens. they "just dont know" better gibs $ for more research ey?
* they don't. they're official stance is "we don't know, more research needed" Why favour the most improbable option out of the two when you can just stay in the middle of things and spin both narratives simultaneously? Hard statements like "this is an alien threat" or "this is a chinese threat" period. are going to backfire as the whole science community will probably shout hogwash, and rightfully so.
It simply does not make sense to run with this extraterrestrial conspiracy over the other options, where is the logic driving this decision
the majority of the US public believes in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, half of the population believes in UFO's as discussed in this topic.
and they, (the us militairy), aren't running the buzz at least not anymore
a handfull of pilots and ex-employees did, now you , and Hensmon is, and Juna is, Tucker carlson is and I am just by participating in this thread
can't you see the brilliance of it?
or perhaps they have equally concluded that a mass alien visitation hoax is needed for more money too?
Fellow NATO countries/ militaries, with very close ties and a long history of following daddy America on military issues having also concluded that this is a very easy way of swaying the public opinion into dumping money into militairy research.
nah.. out of the question.
I'm not trying to debate you on this I should say, as I believe this situation to be very plausible, but I am open minded and there are red flags and illogical aspects in this theory that need to be worked out in order to strengthen it and I enjoy seeing your take jetflag. Interested to see what the others think.
same
goes for hensmon/ juna etc. aswell by the way
