He is probably thrilled to be validated after being mostly labeled a kook for so long.
This is wild though, wish I knew more. It’s rare they are this heavy handed.
- photochemsyn 4y agoStreisand Effect 101. The website is still up, it actually looks rather tame, and I'm sure if it had actually classified documents or similar on it it would have been seized by the FBI. https://dreamlandresort.com/ https://dreamlandresort.com/
- anotherman554 4y agoThe article says he took down certain materials from that web site, so it's the opposite of the Streisand effect.
- themitigating 4y agoHow is he being validated? He flew drones over restricted airspace. This is like if I said the government had aliens in the white house, I jumped the fence, and then while getting arrested said "they are trying to stop me!"
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoI am not sure how is that not clear. Anyone who will look at the clickbait and reads twitter version of a summary will immediately assume that he was raided, because whatever he put in there was true/accurate and government decided to shut him down. And just in case it is not clear, it will be twitter summary if the person is a consummate consumer of today's media. A minority will skim the article. Even fewer people will actually read the whole thing. Even less will review for key words tracing bias and evaluating it in any given way. Unless you are not familiar with Area 51 symbolic meaning in US culture, I am not sure how else I can explain it.
- cycomanic 4y agoDo you have any proof he flew drones over restricted airspace? He urges people not to and also not to publish videos from it, based on that he likely is careful not to do so himself. https://www.dreamlandresort.com/area51/drones.html https://www.dreamlandresort.com/area51/drones.html
- themitigating 4y agoThe article states ""videos taken from drones flown over places around Area 51"." Which I took to mean above locations within Area 51. Like "I'm walking around Wal-Mart" or "I took some done footage over places around Disney World" There's multiple definitions when it's used as a preposition If you move around a place, you travel through it, going to most of its parts. If you look around a place, you look at every part of it. OR "To be positioned around a place or object means to surround it or be on all sides of it. To move around a place means to go along its edge, back to your starting point."
- adrian_b 4y agoThe parent article does not say anything about flying drones "over restricted airspace". On the contrary, it says "videos taken from drones flown over places around Area 51". This looks like flying in public airspace, even if close to the limit of the restricted airspace.
- themitigating 4y agoI replied to this in another comment with a more sarcastic example. I thought that "around" means within an area. Like if I said I was "walking around the store" the assumption is that I'm moving within that area not walking around the perimeter of the area. The court records are sealed so I couldn't find anymore details.

- neaden 4y agoNo one denies Area 51 has government secrets in it, just the nature of those secrets like whether aliens are involved or not.
