The paradox of ufology is that we can't trust the government because they've been covering up aliens for 70 years, but now we know aliens are real because the government says so.
The only fact I know for certain is that the federal government and military industrial complex has a history of lying and waging information warfare on American citizens. If they tell me aliens are here, there's no way I will believe them. As much as I want to believe, I simply can't, unless I personally have some experience with an alien.
And remember... no matter what happens, no matter what the government or the "aliens" tell you... do not get on the ships!
- RajT88 3y agoI think the best evidence against Aliens is if the government had any, they would have been trotted out for a rally by now by the last guy.

- Sharlin 3y agoFrom what I’ve heard, it’s not like he was even interested in the intel he was supposed to be interested in.

- nonethewiser 3y agoFriedman had an ex CIA guy on his podcast and he explained how the daily intelligence report worked. Basically the president told them which things he was most interested in. That was in the front and the rest was more CIA judgement. The CIA is (supposed to) serve at the pleasure of the president.

- avgcorrection 3y agoUfology is an FBI astroturf which is supposed to be a more exciting alternative to listening to a 90 minute lecture on the Sandinistas by Chomsky.
- ChainOfFools 3y agoNow why the hell didn't anyone tell me, when I was say age 11 or 12 or so, that a career path existed whereby one might be able to get a job with the FBI which consists of deliberately trolling people into believing that UFOs exist, with access to effectively limitless resources to make it stick. For actual money, including a government pension.
- smolder 3y agoIf that's someone's job specifically, it's probably a small part, and not at all fun, in-context. I think it's also safe to say they wouldn't have unlimited resources.
