Re: UFOs in Texas

Yep. Exactly a failure of abductive reasoning here.

They have no ill-will against us, only our so called leaders and those who hold all of the wealth of the planet and continue to allow it to be destroyed. They do not intervene directly.. kind of like in star trek, the prime directive. There are some groups we have technology exchange programs with, but that deal kinda fell apart. Point is, we have technology hundreds of generations ahead of anything you've ever seen, and they're in the hands of bad people. These people are trying to change, and they want disclosure to occur. There is a group that wanted/wants to stage an interplanetary confrontation on earth using what are called programmed lifeforms (they look like the greys, but they're engineered by us). This would be to dupe the planet into uniting in war against our pseudo-enemy. It won't work though.

If it comes to that, they won't let us because they know how violent our race is, so if they have to, they'll put a stop to it. In reality though, it is up to us to face up to our place in the universe and stop acting like children with guns. They're incredibly concerned about the welfare of the planet (not us, the planet.. because it is also a living organism and we are disrupting its homeostasis). The greys are responsible for some abductions (the rest being perpetrated by our own "shadow" government.. to spread disinformation and fear about the visitors). They (us, the shadow government) have scalar electromagnetic wave technology and remote viewing capabilities but I won't get into that stuff because I don't want to be killed just yet. Theres no point in being covert about what you talk about, because if they wanted to, they could just watch you directly.

Paranoid yet? Don't be. Everything is fine.

Now just read all of that out-loud to yourself in the G-Man voice from Halflife. It sounds very cool that way, trust me. Slightly more believable, too. Slightly.

We humans primarily think deductively... mr logic. Well, some of us. The rest of us just do as we're told.

Re: UFOs in Texas

I certainly don't primarily think deductively. Try driving using deductive reasoning sometime, just please give us a heads-up first.

In any case, you've several times suggested that you're privy to some information or have some insight into the "real" reality that the rest of us aren't seeing. I've asked you a few times, and I paraphrase, "yeah, so what?". You've had trouble answering me.

Let's assume that king kong from Planet Zandor wants to adopt us. SO WHAT? What would a wise person do to prepare for Mr. Kong's arrival? Do I quit my job? Do I buy an AR-15? Do I start stocking up on monkey food?

In other words, what good does it do me to recognize the "truth" that UFOs are here? How does it change my behavior? Or does it simply grant me access to a special club where we sit around telling ourselves how much smarter we are than everyone who isn't in the club?

I want to spend my time more-or-less efficiently to protect my family from physical harm, build a treasury to see us through hard times and provide for opportunities. The moment I feel that I'm done with that work, I will spend my time enjoying the fruits of my labor half-buzzed on a very nice golf course. What does being "in" on the UFO situation do FOR ME?

Nothing other than showing you that the world is not what it seems. You are wise to prepare now, because if things continue the way they are... none of this will matter anymore. I mean that in the most ominous way possible. You can do whatever you want with your life, and by all means.. protect your family. But we fail to act we are only dooming our great grandchildren to a life of slavery. The true power in this world is money and oil.. and now that the technology to make those things obsolete is in the hands of the every day joe with a garage workshop, they're scared. Free energy is what directly affects you, and all of us, and this planet most of all. That is the direct consequence of the extra terrestrial/dimensional intelligence situation. Its not about "UFOs" at all, they're not UFOs, they're IFOs. If someone talks about "ufos" they're usually spreading disinformation. We have our own craft now, we have our own "ufos." We also have extremely powerful (in the sense of what it can do to society) psychotronic extremely low frequency (ELF) weapons, which are in the hands of the few. They (the shadow government) can literally shape your consciousness to their will, if you aren't aware of it. They can see inside your heads if you let them, but so can the friendlies. We exist, as well as them, in more than just 3 dimensions. Our consciousness exists beyond time and space. That is the true power of the human being, and all of creation.

This isn't about technology, it is about freedom and the life of this planet.

Re: UFOs in Texas

So....proceed as before as if all this chatter about UFOs didn't matter at all. Check!

I've also just bought apocalypse insurance, since it seems Bommando and I are on the same side of an issue.

Re: UFOs in Texas

Deductive reasoning is actually rarely used by people normally. Most of our common sense reasoning is abductive or inductive.

I actually wasn't aware of it, but that certainly explains why I bought 2 pints of cookies n' cream ice cream and 3 copies of Club magazine at 2 am last friday night.

Seriously, what does anyone need with 3 copies of Club??

My main man. Yo. Dude. Have you been knocking down jager shots before work again?

Re: bluesnews, is that like Blue's Clues? Cause my daughter loves that show. I think I'll plop her down in front of that website and leave her unsupervised for several hours.

Anyway, this is fascinating, but I think we should delve more into this 3am Club 'n Ice Cream session...

I need to renew my subscriptions. (Club publishes 3 different mags, or did back when I was a subscriber a decade ago.)

Wait. What was this thread about, again?

Re: UFOs in Texas

Dunno if you guys saw but they revisited the Texas UFO story again on Larry King a few nights ago (maybe last night, i dont remember). This time they had a few more reputable witnesses of other UFO sightings not related, as well as a skeptic addressing the recent development of the AirForce saying they did indeed have a flight of F-16s in the area during the sightings.

More and more I'm starting to believe this was indeed a UFO, but not of the extra-terrestrial variety. More like a big-time secret govt. project.

Maybe it was a flying submarine on its way to another star system.
