The Real UFO Question

Let me start by saying that I do not believe aliens from other planets visit earth, at least certainly not regularly. I will not say for fact that we have never been observed by aliens. After all, we can look at planets capable of having life today, what will we be able to see in another 200 years? What I want to do is present a hypothetical, a question.

As long as man has been able to write history, he has discussed strange objects in the sky. We have cave drawings of mysterious things in the sky. Some, it is believed, were nova's, some were comets and meteorites. Others are claimed to be wheels or spheres. There are paintings of saucers in the sky during the middle ages.

About 15 years ago I was going to work in a 12 person vanpool. At about 5:30 in the morning a green fireball crossed in front of us in the sky. We were not the only to see it, it was seen by tens of thousands of people from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Thousands of the people who saw it were in aerospace, pilots, builders, aerospace engineers, people who had worked on Apollo and Gemini, people who worked at Skunk Works. I have been watching space launches since Kennedy created the program. I lived where they built our super secret planes. I dated a girl who worked doing quality assurance in aerospace for secret projects. Whatever we saw made no noise and there was no sonic boom. The media reported it, skipped the part about the green and said it was a meteorite that crashed into the ocean off San Francisco. I thought no more about it; but, one of our passengers did get excited and exclaimed, "That's not a UFO", more as a statement than a question. I don't think she was from the area originally.

A couple of days ago a rocket launched from Vandenberg. It was a Space X unannounced flight. A friend of mine and his wife saw it as they were driving and called me to tell about the rocket they had seen. They were from here. LOL. Once again the media reported that the southern California people were freaking out thinking it was a UFO. The call from my friend telling me about the rocket was the only call I got from people in the area. He just thought I would like to see it. He talked about the big gas trail and how it lit up. I didn't rush outside, I have seen them before. By the time I got outside, it could not be seen. I went back in. Every time something happens in the sky, the media panics and makes fun of the thought that it could be extraterrestrial flying saucers. Why?

I shall take you back to the event called the Phoenix Lights. Everyone in Phoenix saw them, it was filmed as it happened. The governor of the state came out to talk about their investigation and brought the culprit, a man dressed like an alien. He made a joke of it. Years later he apologized and said that he had seen it too. This is the part I want you to really think about.

We are presented with two questions. What would the government do if they knew and knew for a certainty that aliens were going to visit this planet publicly? That's not one of the questions. The questions are, would they tell all of us or try and keep the information limited to the establishment? I guess the way I worded it, it was two questions including the first about what the government would do. It is a two part, chain question.

The government funded research on UFOs called Project Bluebook. They had funded other research; but, Bluebook is the one people talk about the most. In 1947 an air force general issued a press release saying a flying saucer had been recovered in Roswell, New Mexico. Two days later, the government said they had found a weather balloon. 20 or 30 years later, they said they had lied and that it was a super secret high altitude balloon to listen to soviet nuclear testing. That was a lie to and that I can prove. If one of my readers would like me to debunk the Project Mogul balloon explanation, I will do that; but, I have done it before on this blog. I just don't know how to find the post. A few days ago film was released of a UFO captured by a F18 Hornet by a military pilot that was witnessed by another military pilot and radar. It turned out that the government had lied to us again and was continuing to have a group dedicated to researching flying saucers. LOL. I see a pattern.

Two events required the government to investigate UFOs. Firstly, the attack over Los Angeles during world war II. It was witnessed by hundreds of thousands who were looking for Japanese planes; but, it was no Japanese plane and could not be shot down. The second event was when UFOs buzzed Washington DC in 1952. They were picked up on radar and jets were scrambled for a number of nights. They could not catch them.

Consider this. Within days after the shoe bomber, the United States began installing full body scanners at airports. Why had they already built the scanners? It is called contingency planning. They wanted to increase security at airports; but, they needed a reason. You buy it and wait for the excuse. You don't have to create the excuse. FEMA has hundreds of thousands of plastic mass body caskets sitting on some farm in storage. Does it matter what event will require them? Shouldn't they have them ready? These are the same people that tell you to have three gallons of water in case of an earthquake. Don't you think they have food and water sacked away somewhere?

What do you think scares the establishment and the government the most about the possibility of aliens landing and interacting with people in public? They are afraid of the public's response. If we are being viewed by aliens, the aliens have more respect for the average person than our governments or establishment. The governments biggest fear is not that the aliens will enslave us all. The governments biggest fear is that we will shake off our current enslavement and reject and establishment which allows people to go without food or shelter.

It is a fact and can be found online, that the smartest people in the world in all areas of life were asked by the government what the effect of aliens landing on earth and interacting with us would be. The answer was not that people would freak out, it was that it might mess with religious people. My readers know I am a Christian and was a preacher. I would say they needed to prove they were not demons. That would not go over big with many. In either case, I would accept that they were here and we could not understand for sure where they came from or what they were. We would find ourselves like the Aztecs. Our first thought to the supernatural ability of their craft used to be that they were gods. Aliens is now our first choice. How could we know the difference?

Let me take this further. What if these supposed aliens could talk to you without using their voice?What if they appeared telepathic. How would people handle that? It would still not be proof they were alien. Consider algorithms and how much we can predict human action and thoughts. Couldn't aliens be better at it? Couldn't they make you hear things in your head. We have been working on that tech for years.

The government has a plan for what happens if UFOs ever land publicly that involves how they will deal with society at large. What makes you think the business think tanks haven't asked this question and given the same answer to the oligarchy that owns everything? They have talked about it in the open.

That was a lot of set up to get to what I really want to talk about. If the establishment believed there were aliens visiting here, they would want to show that the people who are not cared for deserved all the blame for their situation and that our oligarchs were blameless. They would fear the aliens making them distribute to all what they need. They would fear the people supporting that, the people that they allow to starve to death, go without shelter and healthcare. The establishments biggest fear is that a greater power will come and make life better for the rest of us and they will lose control. That is why the media laughs nervously when discussing UFOs.

A Christmas Wish

Well, it is Christmas in 3 minutes and I wish you all a very merry Christmas. I have already received my present, I was reunited with a family member I had not seen in a while. I don't think of Christmas as a religious holiday. We don't know when Jesus was born. For me Christmas is about children and spreading joy, giving them something to hope for in a material world.

Let me explain what I do feel. I have not cared much about receiving presents for years. The presents I prefer are ones that are made for me or were specially chosen that I would not have bought for myself. Christmas means different things to us as we grow older and make life changes. When we are young, it is about the surprise and excitement of the possibility of getting things we really want. When we have children ourselves, it is about giving them that same surprise and enjoyment. A special day, a day with a great feast and family, a day of peace. When our children are grown it morphs into a time of family and reflection.

As I write this, people are shooting off fire works and 12:00 has come. Whatever anger you hold against others, forget it today. Take the spirit of the time and feel love within your heart for all God's children. We are imperfect, we all do wrong, we all make mistakes and we must accept that this is true of others. Forgive others their faults and in the same way, you will be forgiven by God, the one that created you. Anger and hate only harm the one who feels them, free yourself of that pain and burden. That is my Christmas wish for all my readers and everyone, whether you believe in God or Santa or nothing, believe in the power of love and forgiveness.

Merry Christmas to all and to  all a good night.

Pimpernel.

Class Warfare

No links, no cut and pastes, haven't figured out what has been done to my computer by the upgrade yet. Just me yapping.

When I was in junior high, a teacher had us do a mock trial. The trial was against Marie Antoinette. As I recall, I was the only one who offered to be her defense attorney. I figured I would lose because all the kiddies knew she had been killed. I pointed out that she was but a child and had committed no crimes and made no laws. She was married to the king; but, had no influence over what he did. She had been told to marry him by her parents.

The class voted to not kill her. It stunned everyone, including the teacher. Mob mentality is an ugly thing and we are being told to become mobish. The media and the establishment believe the average person is only waiting to be irrational and become a mob. The corporate left pays people to be violent, the corporate right tells people that they are coming for their guns and freedom. Look at the news, they want to incite both sides to irrationality and violence; but, it does not come as expected. Most Americans on the left and right are not violent nor extremists. Most people are not. Most people just want to do their job, take care of their family and relax.

When people really believe that nothing matters anymore, they begin by killing the people they see in control and benefitting from what is going on. True revolutions only happen when the establishment refuses to share during hard times for everyone else. We are not there yet and thankfully so. The mistake the media is making is in trying to get us there. The establishment is pushing for racial, religious, ethnic or any other war; but, if a revolution comes, it will be class warfare. That is just history.

Quick Stuff

CBS SanFranBay - California Considers Placing A Mileage Tax On Drivers
You really need to watch the video. 

Well this sucks. My windows 10 program upgraded tonight and has messed up my fonts and Blogger program. So, lets focus on content. I told you years ago that we are going to charge your driving taxes based on mileage. This is nothing new, just them letting you know you are gonna be charged for everything, including breathing, that is called a carbon tax.

A Prediction

To start with, I don't live in Alabama and don't which corporatist, the Democrat or Republican was going to win. While some may see this as a win for the Democratic corporatists, I don't. LOL. Lets ask what happens next.

The establishment had planned to use Roy Moore (the Republican corporatist) as a test case for getting rid of someone based on allegations alone. If he had won, he would have been brought up on charges in congress, that doesn't happen now. He is not going to congress. He is contesting the election and Democrats must face their own hypocrisy over contesting the presidential election. These things are but amusements. What happens next?

Well, next year they hold another election and Moore will not be the Republican candidate. They guy Trump supported against Moore will be and he will win. The Democratic winner couldn't even get 50% of the vote against someone accused of being a child molester. Take a moment and think about that. The guy Trump supported against Moore will end up the senator for will be there for six years.

If I am still alive next year for that election, you can call me on this. Moore was not beaten because of his policies, he was beaten because he is accused of being a child molester. Do you really believe every Republican in 2018 will lose because they are a child molester?

Cleaning out my saved articles.

The Seattle Times - This City Hall, brought to you by Amazon.  Yes we live in a fascist country. One that is willing to take income tax from people to pay their employers. I thought pay to play was illegal. Fresno has offered Amazon the ability to determine where the taxes and fees it pays are spent. That my friends is unconstitutional and exactly what I would expect from the corporate sell outs that are supposed to represent us. Even the charming tech giants hate democracy. The people in power always hate democracy.

Daily Star - Brain implants to 'change moods controlled by AI' begin HUMAN TESTS. I don't really know this paper, I think it is English. Interesting article if true.

FOX - San Francisco may adopt Uber-style surge pricing for parking meters. The only case that legalizes parking meters having a charge is the first case. It stated that cities could not charge for using the public right of way; but, that they could regulate the usages and time could be regulated. The legal point was that the charge of the meter was to pay only for the cost of parking enforcement and that the machines were just clocks to verify that you did not violate the time requirements. There is not 1 in 10,000 attorneys that understand that decision or even know about it. FYI, it doesn't apply to state highways usually as highways do not have a "Right of Way" protection, what they have is the ownership by the state of the land itself. Just like owning a zoo, they can charge for using highways. The fees charged are theoretically for the maintenance or construction costs.

YouTube - Why The US Military Made GPS Free-To-Use.  I wrote years ago about how the military created and owns all GPS. Watch the video.

Bloomberg - Moody's Warns Cities to Address Climate Risks or Face Downgrades. I want you to understand, Moody's is a company and they want to tell government what to do and are threatening them with having their credit ratings downgraded. Companies telling government what they can and cannot do, that is anti-democratic and fascist. 

The New York Times - Why a CVS-Aetna Merger Could Benefit Consumers.  How can you trust the media that says monopolies are good for you?

MSN - USA Today - Forget Paris: U.S. mayors sign their own pact after Trump ditches climate accord. I want you to think about this. People on the left are crying over the Logan Act (it says only the president can talk policy with foreign governments, it is also unconstitutional) and want to use it to impeach Trump because Flynn talked to a Russian Ambassador after the election and prior to the inauguration. Every mayor who makes an agreement with a foreign country regarding policy, is in violation of the Logan Act. 

Al Franken Post

Yesterday I wrote about Franken's resignation. I was dead on. Franken today said he would resign in the next few weeks. Well, lets see if he does leave; but, don't bet on it. What the media is doing with his proposed resignation is to call for Trump and Moore to resign.

Why Al Franken Should Not Resign

The media is abuzz with claims that Al Franken will resign tomorrow. The Washington Post actually wrote an article on why Franken has to resign and Moore doesn't. They claim it is because Republicans are more accepting of such misdeeds. It is garbage as usual coming from them any more. They used to be a real newspaper; but, they gave that up.

I don't care much for Al Franken, he is one more elitist who thinks he is better, smarter and more deserving than everyone else. He thinks he understands more than you; but, he is just another partisan hack in my humble opinion. Having said that, he has not been accused of a crime, he has not been charged with anything and nobody that I am aware of has actually filed civil suit against him. He is accused of being sleazy, that is not a reason for overturning a democratically elected representative.

One must ask why the Democrats have so quickly turned on Franken that they now call for his resignation. It has nothing to do with Franken. Back in 1985 another famous Democrat, Barney Frank, was accused of improprieties. In fact, his male prostitute friend was running a male prostitution ring out of his house. He was not removed from office and was universally supported by his party. We all know how President Clinton used Monica Lewinsky, a young intern, to dip his cigar inside her private parts inside the oval office and ejaculate on her dress. He was also supported by his party. Why should Franken have to quit? His voters have a right to kick him out, to not vote for him again. They have a right to call for a special election; but, they have not. As long as he is not proven guilty of a crime, he should not be removed.

Anything short of removing someone from elected office for the conviction of a serious crime must be denied. If we allow unproven accusations to be grounds for violating our democracy, we shall cease having a democracy in any form. Let us be clear, there has not even been an official investigation into Franken's actions, it has been the lynch mob of the corporate media seeking political advantage against Moore and Trump. What you say. This is not about Franken, it is about justifying keeping Moore out if he is elected and about removing Trump, not for criminal collusion with Russia; but, for vague, non proven allegations of being a bad person. Today we saw 58 Democrats in congress vote to allow articles of impeachment to go forward against Trump on the ground that he is a bad person. No crime was charged, the constitution was not considered important. Democracy is not about who you like, it is about accepting the will of the voters. It is about majority rule, it is that simple.

If we get no say in government and only the wealthy and powerful get to choose the law, we live a totalitarian oligarchy. If we have no taxation without representation we need not respect nor follow the laws. That is what the founding fathers said. I know many of my readers are conservative and disagree with my more socialist ideas; but, they know I am honest and consistent. If we lose any semblance of democracy, whether it be representative or not, then no laws bind us together and even killing the wealthy would be valid. If we do not get to have a say in the laws then there is no law, that is the essence of the social contract. When it was violated sufficiently in France, bad things happened and a true populist dictator was born. Napoleon.

The wealthy and powerful are scared of democracy, they were scared of the Tea Party, they were scared of the Occupy Movement, they are even more scared of Sanders and Trump as they view it as an effective use of majority rule (democracy) against their elitist control.

Thursday Franken is supposed to talk to the media. The media has been claiming that it is to announce his resignation; but, his staff says that is not what it is about. Tonight, Wednesday, Franken is being approached by a myriad of forces and moneyed interests telling him to resign, promising him the world in exchange for his reputation. That is how these things work.

The public discussion is always a trick, it is always a pre determined narrative to lead you to a conclusion. Always choose democracy and free discussion or you have neither.

Fake News Jubilation

For those of us old enough to remember when Watergate was the top story and Richard Nixon had to resign from office, we remember it as a sad time.

If you go to 2:07:32 into the video, you will see the initial reaction to Nixon's resignation. They did not show any joy or jubilation. Dan Rather said, "There is no joy in this for anyone. No decent thinking American can take any joy out of this."

I want to contrast this with the disgusting display

They later addressed their mistake.

The spin they put on their corrections starts with saying that they discussed in a meeting not calling it "Fake News". Go to about 2:20 in for that statement.

The fact is that it was fake news and everybody knows that. The definition of the word fake is something that is not true or genuine. Intent is irrelevant. Lies require intent, fake does not. My long time readers and those who know me, know that I am a Socialist. I do not support the Democratic or Republican corporate parties. We have a dishonest media and that is truly saddening.
