So "no" to Epstein, but "yes" to "aliens". That tracks.

[flagged]

Personally I think anyone who believes there’s a stack of “files” sitting somewhere which culminate in a spreadsheet of “Famous politician / # of underage girls we can prove he assaulted” is fantasizing and thinking the world is just like an exciting John Grisham novel.

Anyone who’s guilty of that either has sufficient corrupt clout to have eliminated the evidence of their crimes (thus no “files” threaten them), or, are already known about.

And come on, with the guy at the top of the government being very likely one of them and very openly and obviously corrupt, it is more of a stretch for me to believe that “Epstein permanent deletion service” isn’t an item on his main bribe menu.

or distact from the Iran war, or distract from Israel, or distract from corruption... distraction from distractions. We keep buying what they're selling, and then complain the milk is still sour.

Easy with the use of "we" there buddy. Just look at the polling. There are way more people not buying the bullshit, and the numbers keep getting worse as even the faithful are tiring of it as well. So just tossing "we" around becomes offensive as you've now included me into something I will not be a part of.

Too little too late, unfortunately. The train has left the station.

I'm pretty sure they renamed it the departement of war, for some reason

I think it's accurate. "War" is the application of violence for political ends. "Defense" is only a subset of that.

Yeah, the idea is that we wanted to move focus from might make right to deterrance and international law. It's why the UN charter prohibits agressive war but allow self defense, and why the US renamed its departement of war to department of defense in 1947.

So yeah, sure, in the current attitude and action that are very much "hey let's go back to that great time where we openly agreed war of conquest are a good thing" they have it makes sense.

I'm not even being dense. What's the best non sign up privacy focused photo hosting site? I'm not using Flickr lol

Okay here we go.

I think this was two winters ago. They floated, sometimes would briefly hold position. Third time in the past decade I encountered them.

I pulled to the side of the road. Nobody else pulled over or noticed. Encounter lasted maybe 5 minutes. I honestly don't remember.

According to the resolution criteria, I would say that that market should trade much much higher than OP's hypothetical market. Any governmental agency stating that "Extraterrestrial life exists" would count. NASA/Seti finding evidence of algae on an exo planet or Io or something counts.

Which has already happened. Clinton basically announced the discovery of life on mars back in the 90s.

*sigh* No, it wasn't not renamed, in the same way that a cape-wearing 4-year-old isn't actually changing his legal name to SuperBadguyKillerMan.

I mean, apparently they didn't legally but he did sign an executive order, and they do use war.gov ; so it's a de facto versus de jure situation.

No the interpretation is that the more we could prove it if real, the less we do Sailors saw mermaids all the time too, I don't think they're all hiding under a rock since we invented the camera

sailors also reported seeing kraken as well, they were eventually proven right with the giant squid.

Exactly, that's the point : if it's true/right, we are now able to prove it with evidence. If it's not, suddently we don't see it anymore.

Pretty cool to dig in but distraction for something else?

Everything is a distraction from the fact that our politicians are all corrupt millionaires and we're effectively a country run by an oligarchy. Literally everything else is a distraction from this, to keep the machine going as long as possible, before a revolution takes place (which might happen without our lifetime, if we look at recent events).

:yawn: When in your lifetime were politicians not "run by an oligarchy"? It's so boring when people just hang onto the latest buzzwords and say nothing of substance. You think they need aliens to distract us from this?
