  1. Not heroin though.๐Ÿคฃ That sh8t will have a person on stuck for 40 minutes or longer. Straight stupor. I've seen junkies in serious nod and lean who looked like they were inches from falling to the ground. The only thing they remember upon coming down is that it's time to cop another hit.๐Ÿ˜ I'd imagine kush and mushrooms are better than heroin when it comes to astral travel.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Of course, the resident agnostic and skeptic (UAP/UFO/ET) doesn't believe too much of anything without evidence and/or receipts.๐Ÿคฃ I'm creating topics and posting information to keep up the forum dialog.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. No doubt. Plenty of them are intelligent and articulate. Around the same time, whenever they stuck a microphone in Magic Johnson's face, I would cringe.๐Ÿคฃ There's a reason many successful athletes and entertainers weren't allowed to do interviews.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Agreed. Control is a form of power. Criminals agreed to become state property if they got caught.๐Ÿ˜ Suicide isn't rooted in reality, rationale or logic but it's not always a mental illness either. Women have so many options. She may have upgraded to a better dude.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Warp drive traveling light-years is probably some form of wormhole manipulation. ET spacecraft would have to be a higher standard than anything we can imagine in order to withstand physics as we know it. Man still cannot fly without aircraft. ETs and any intelligence or technology they might have is still fiction.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Amid Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, incoming POTUS mused that considering the protection Canada receives from the US, maybe it should become the 51st state. Greenland is a strategic territory of national security interest. The incoming POTUS' son is going up there to determine if they should buy the island. In the same press conference from the Winter White House, Mar-A-Lago, POTUS also mentioned changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Again, in my lifetime, I cannot recall another incoming POTUS having press conferences prior to inauguration. I don't know where the US government is heading but it seems the current administration is perfectly fine with it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Sure. FBAs shouldn't lump everyone of other ethnicities as enemies. I don't believe we should consider them friends or allies either. We should remain neutral until loyalty is demonstrated and proven.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Incoming POTUS just announced a $20 billion dollar partnership with United Arab Emirates company DAMAC Properties to build data centers around the US. In what could be seen as a conflict of interests, DAMAC Properties has been doing business with incoming POTUS for many years. This company did the master-planned residential golf community around Trump International Golf Club in Dubai. The company also invested up to $5 million in POTUS OJ's campaign in 2016. Also, Japanese company SoftBank Group will be investing $100 billion in technology and telecommunications projects over the next 4 years. Politics isn't about red and blue. The color is green. Watch their hands. Follow the money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. You're correct on all accounts. I know Xi Jinping is elected. Same goes for Vladimir Putin. I still call them dictator/strong-men because of how they maintain power. On the negative side, these men will literally any type of opposition killed. On the positive side, these men do take care of their country. Your statement I bolded above is the point I was making about why these countries are 1) content with their leadership and 2) accept the status quo without needing to redistribute wealth. Right. The strong-man controls the oligarchs which funnels down like a pyramid. I comprehend your point. There is no need to redistribute wealth as long as the basic needs of the populace are met. The UBI is a step in that direction. You're right. Effective leadership is the key to insuring the basic needs of a populace are met. The US is built on a system that prevents it from taking care of every citizen in the same way that other countries do. The main thing is that in countries like China and Russia, despite differences in ethnicity or class, the populace sees themselves as one people i.e. homogenous.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. The truck bomber left behind a note that included his actions were a wake-up call to Chinese drones being a threat to national security. The guy asked that his identity not be revealed until a certain date. His ex-girlfriend claims that he while he mentioned having issues related to his deployments, he was a kind, generous and fun-loving guy. Didn't see him taking this road.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Right. The United Nations, G20 and G8 exist to prevent world war and maintain those arrangements. One billion Chinese people aren't rushing to overthrow their dictator either. My point is despite having different ethnic groups within the country, the population seems to be content with their strong-man and no desire to change distribution of wealth.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. You're correct. Canada does share a history of enslavement with the British empire. I should have written that Canada's legacy of slavery is different from the United States.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Sure. To date, the airline industry hasn't laid off it's pilots in favor of the robot. Used planes aren't flying off the lots any faster than cars, trucks and RVs. Imagine is the key word. There's no shortage of books and movies with warp drive crafts traveling among the stars. There's no shortage of old and aftermarket parts available for all kinds of vehicles. I'm fairly certain what people will be seeing is more gravitic propulsion system drones. Military stuff. Sure. Human crafts fail. Lemon laws apply. However, the QC for ET crafts that have to travel light-years throughout the universe would have to be on another level. Panspermia equally far-fetched is still more plausible than ETs building crafts elsewhere in the universe and flying here in a lemon. Everything in real life has an explanation. Fiction is a distortion of real life. The land of make believe.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. As you've often mentioned, the tribes are so varied here in America, that even poor people cannot unify among themselves. Like reparations to FBA folks for America's original sin of slavery, there is no incentive to force the redistribution of wealth either. The illusion of a middle class is just enough to keep that populace satiated. Poor white folks are happy with believing they're still better off than non-white people. I believe it will take a natural disaster of epic proportion to reset the order. Otherwise, the system has been fine tuned to the point that a handful of people can control the majority.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Worried in a figurative sense. Canadians do not have societal issues to the extent of their southern neighbors. Correction...Canada does have a history of slavery. Different legacy. Minorities accept the country belongs to white folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. No shame. It's all good. Just dialog. The super power countries already have agreements among themselves for how they carve up the rest of the globe financially. Everything in the US seems to be made in China. Russians are walking around wearing Levi's jeans. All of the saber-rattling with regard to military prowess is the equivalent of those Fast & Furious movies. It's really a flex to keep the lesser countries in line. As long as a handful of people in every country can enjoy being wealthy, their leadership can get the masses to go along with the program. As I mentioned in another thread, Vladimir Putin has 144 million people in check. The people haven't risen against him. Here in the US, poor and middle class people vote for people wealthier than themselves. Nowhere on the planet are the lower classes of people fighting for the redistribution of wealth.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Of course, I enjoy the chop up regardless of whether or not we agree. I'm going to rely on the senses that have gotten me this far. Don't look at it as a hang up. It's my applied logic to the unknown without receipts. Very few of us can show up at the airport and tell the pilot to move over mayne, I'm gonna fly this bird today.๐Ÿคฃ ETs can take the equivalent of spare parts gathered from a back yard, cobble it together and be capable of traveling light-years throughout the universe. But, they cannot build it from scratch. Also, this cobbled together craft won't be detected on any of the most advanced radar systems. I think ETs would have their own technology if they're intelligent enough to use spare parts. They're definitely going to experience failures flying around in junk crafts.๐Ÿคฃ It would be more plausible to believe ETs capable of living for billions of years hopped aboard a meteor and crash landed on Earth. Those ETs have been living underground the whole time. Every now and then, they come up and hijack military aircraft to fly around as UAP/UFO. There goes a million dollar movie or book idea.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. Control comes with power. Not synonymous. It is an arranged marriage. Past to present, there's no shortage of women married to dudes for nothing. Love doesn't count as something.๐Ÿคฃ The discussion started around these potentially crazy dudes. That's just it...people don't possess each other. Only material things can be possessed. We don't claim to have power over it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. True. Laughter, conversation, music, food, etc., is a helluva cocktail. Legal intoxication. No slipping drugs into drinks and pulling out baby oil.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. That meeting was my 1st thought upon hearing the news that he was stepping down. Fighting with the party could be a smoke screen. Either way, I don't blame him for cashing out. Time to enjoy the rest of his life without worrying about Canadian citizens.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Anything that is considered entertainment requires a gift, talent, skill or gimmick to generate a lot of money. Athletes are entertainers just like actors, musicians, singers, etc. Some of them are very smart people too. Intelligence is not a prerequisite.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Music is my opiate. I can get higher than a UAP/UFO while playing piano.๐Ÿ˜ Every now and then, I'll turn off the lights and play some out there Jazz. The UAP/EFO/ET still don't show up.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Why do those conditions exist in the most powerful country on the planet? The American people gave him limited power. He's really jus a figure-head or a front-man for those who really control the levers of power. I hope so. They have access to to the best education. A few dimwits stumble into riches whether it's playing the lottery or a lawsuit.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. The craziest part is these folks will study and argue religion but ask them to put the same energy into addressing slavery and all of sudden it's....man, that sh8t happened a long time ago.๐Ÿคฃ Facts. A whole bunch of rich Black folks sitting around figuring out the next move.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. He may not have to focus on it too much. Under the incoming administration, I wouldn't be surprised if mandatory vaccinations just become optional like a flu shot.๐Ÿ˜Ž
