UFOs, Politics, and the Games We Play: A Deep Dive
Written on
Understanding the Current UFO Landscape
The number of sources reporting on UFOs is on the rise, but much of this content often revisits older stories. This could stem from the fact that past reports were not given the serious attention they deserved. Even now, there's evidence suggesting that the topic isn't being addressed with the gravity it warrants. The potential for the UFO conversation to become a political battleground looms, especially with figures like Tucker Carlson entering the fray. His involvement raises eyebrows: “What? Tucker Carlson is into UFOs? Of course, he is! He’s just one tinfoil hat away from being completely bonkers!”
The Political Connection to UFOs
Chauncey DeVega, a writer for Salon, argues that the UFO phenomenon is rooted in conspiracy theories, offering compelling points in his June 21, 2021 article. Kudos to Chauncey for tying UFOs to political narratives—though it’s a conclusion many might find obvious. In the absence of authentic media coverage on genuine, documented phenomena—validated by entities like the Navy and the Pentagon—the UFO discussion transcends politics. Articles like the one published by The New York Times in 2017 faced criticism similar to what Tucker Carlson encounters today. What if UFOs are indifferent to human politics? What if they have no concern for identity politics? That would be quite alarming! From a human standpoint, everything might seem intertwined with political and philosophical issues, but in reality, some phenomena exist independently of human narratives.
In this discussion, I reference an article from military.com detailing veterans recounting their UFO encounters while stationed near nuclear missiles. This event occurred recently, and if you missed it, that’s likely due to minimal media coverage. If UFOs are indeed interfering with military technology, that should serve as a significant wake-up call. In the video linked below, Tucker Carlson interviews one of the few reporters who attended the hearing. Tom Rogan from the Washington Examiner noted that while there were more reporters present than in previous instances, the overall lack of coverage remains disheartening.
Nuclear Connections and UFOs
Both the US and Russia have experienced interactions with UFOs around their nuclear arsenals. Neil deGrasse Tyson has questioned why these phenomena seem to primarily engage with Navy personnel, who are often armed with nuclear weapons. Is there a connection here? It’s a compelling inquiry.
Luis Elizondo, in an interview with Curt Jaimungal, emphasizes the need for caution when drawing conclusions about the UFO-nuclear connection. Some speculate that extraterrestrial beings may be concerned about humanity’s propensity for self-destruction, leading them to intervene. In several US incidents, UFOs reportedly disabled ICBM missiles—over twenty at once. According to contractors, this occurrence is virtually impossible since each missile operates as an independent system. Such synchronicity defies scientific explanation, even if one disregards the UFO context.
Robert Hastings, author of "UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites," shares insights from both American and Russian perspectives. In Russia, there were instances where missiles were activated and ready for launch. If this is an extraterrestrial message, it raises more questions than answers. Are aliens favoring one side over the other? I wouldn’t mind learning Russian—or even marrying an alien if it meant spending holidays on the moon with extraterrestrial in-laws. Regardless, it’s crucial to recognize that we’re playing a dangerous game. Could this be a message akin to the metaphorical leap of faith depicted in a Mel Gibson movie scene?
The Uncertainty of Alien Intent
Ultimately, the truth is shrouded in uncertainty. While there is evidence suggesting that some individuals possess more information than the general public, it’s also possible that the public is more informed than the media. There might even be twelve-year-olds keeping tabs on UFO statistics who know more than seasoned reporters. There was a time when journalists pursued current events with vigor, rather than selectively curating narratives.
The analogy of a child with a baseball collection reporting home runs illustrates a critical point: having data doesn’t equate to being an expert. It’s a playful reminder that the line between sanity and madness is often blurred. Conversations like these often occur in the mind of a twelve-year-old with an imaginary friend. Yes, I’m a bit eccentric. But if journalists aren’t engaging with real people who have genuine experiences, who should we turn to for insights?
Indeed, I have a sense of humor. I might be twelve at heart! In many ways, there’s substantial evidence beyond mere testimony. The veterans who testified before Congress recently offer more than anecdotal accounts; they present physical evidence and data—every time an ICBM missile went offline for any reason. Over twenty independent missiles ceased functioning simultaneously. You can be certain that government contractors were on-site conducting diagnostics. Even if there’s no visual proof of a UFO hovering over the silos, the situation remains perplexing. Engineers and scientists are left scratching their heads, asserting that such occurrences defy explanation, while multiple witnesses corroborate UFO involvement. This is not mere coincidence; it constitutes a significant incident.
It’s essential to recognize that professionals—engineers, scientists, and academics—often dismiss these occurrences as impossible without investigating the clues further.
The Challenge of Media Engagement
Perhaps the media’s reluctance to follow up stems from the consensus among engineers, scientists, and academics that these events are impossible. As we’ve seen with Mars exploration, there are often unconvincing explanations for discrepancies in imagery. The idea that we sent humans to the moon in 1968 yet struggle to replicate that feat today is baffling. Such contradictions fuel conspiracy theories.
We are nearing a tipping point where the UFO discourse must happen. Ideally, it should unfold while knowledgeable individuals are still around to share their insights. Many who possess crucial information have already passed away. The veterans who recently spoke before Congress deserve to have their voices heard before it’s too late. Are those in the know waiting for all experiencers to disappear? If that’s the case, the emergence of new experiencers may disrupt their plans.
Many voices remain unheard, and the suppression of information has its limits. Ignoring the elephant in the room can only last so long before it leads to a flood. We should address the UFO narrative now, while it’s still manageable. If we fail to control the narrative, someone else will—and that someone may not share your views.
Just for a laugh:
“Let’s put her in charge, then.” Relax, Hicks. Christina’s got it covered.
