It's all good mayne. Around these parts we say, "near one of you mf's bet not say sh8t...".

I figured she was a Black woman when they 1) stood around and let her burn and 2) didn't release her name within 24 hours.

Kevin Samuels had carved out a nice niche for himself. That dude was hilarious. He gave both men and women the bizness. Gone too soon.

Part of his POTUS Carter's story is that he was raised by a Black woman.

It's definitely something to consider. Results cannot get any worse.

I believe that's why they made a mockery of DA Fani Willis and her extra-curricular activities. A power move was pulled to show America that neither DA Willis nor a major Black city could take down a certified white supremacist.

I'm going out on a limb here but maybe their bat signal and super-powers don't work on non-Black people.

Right. That would make humans interesting for about 10 seconds before it was time to get back into the spaceship and bounce. Otherwise, understanding the habitability of other planets or lack thereof would reduce extra-terrestrial lifeforms to microbial extremophiles at best. The only way it would travel to Earth is hitching a ride on asteroid. Kinda like us. No UAP/UFO.

I knew you were going to point it out. Eyes are just one part of our sensory system. Any one part of our sensory system can be compromised. That's why I added confirm which requires a combination of senses. Paintings can be forged and manipulated too. The one thing they have in common is white folks dropping in to study and steal information from them and white folks writing books about their *discoveries*. So, over several generations, we should believe the Reptilians have been running the show.

They don't have any proof either. Statistics and data are easily manipulated. Look no further than recent election polls. No sir. I know how it *looks* to disbelieve in such but neither arrogance nor ignorance is the source of my doubt. The *problem* I have is that it has taken 200,000 years of existence for humans to plunge the depths of the ocean or get off the ground into outer space. We still cannot survive in either environment for too long without equipment. We cannot travel in light-years. I would love to witness UAP/UFO/ETs given what we *know* scientifically about the universe in terms of distances and how planets are constructed and composed, time/space continuum, etc. An extra-terrestrial lifeform capable of building a craft that travels light-years and survives any planetary condition would mean they have mastered every limitation known to humankind in terms of physics. I think it would be awesome and welcome *something* to show up here on Earth capable of dropping a higher level of knowledge on humans. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting on it though. Oxygen is still important to my survival.

Right. We typically consider real that which we can perceive with our sensory system and confirm. No way I would believe that hundreds of years ago, UAPs/UFOs had windows and doors and flew low enough for an observer to see them and draw a picture. The artist is doing what they do....being creative. You're not alone in believing it. There are many of us who do not believe in it. Either way...it's OK. Life remains the same for all of us. A squeaky clean background investigation makes it easy to get a high level clearance. The only credible evidence most folks will accept is physical proof and/or signs of life. Written reports and fuzzy pictures and microfiche won't cut it as credible evidence and proof of UAP/UFO/ET existence.

That article is 12 years old. 80 million people is a lot. Wonder why I wasn't polled. Even if 8 million people spotted a UAP/UFO, I find it hard to believe 10% of them (800,000) didn't have their cell phone on hand to snap pictures and upload them to the internet. Surely, the government aka officialdom couldn't confiscate a million pictures. Of course, more than 80% of the pictures would be verified as some type of aircraft. The other 20% of pictures would be too grainy to determine what was being photographed. It's OK. Neither can the folks who claim they saw a UAP/UFO. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Sasquatch aka Bigfoot received as much attention as UAP/UFO/ET. Bigfoot was the subject of articles, books, TV shows and movies. I wonder how many campers were filed as missing persons. No amount of technology nor military trained people nor outdoorsmen could track down a 10-foot tall creature running around in the woods. Then, there was the Loch Ness monster. A big azz creature swimming around in the water. Again, technology couldn't detect it. Not to mention paranormal activity. Another source of fantasy among humans. Ghosts have probably been in the human psyche longer than any other phenomena. Like dragons, angels and demons, the human imagination has a fascination with mythological creatures. Humans find entertainment in the unknown. They will make up and/or invent something to believe.

Correct. The imagination of an artist allows them to combine real and abstract. What we call a UFO could have been a shooting star, asteroid, meteor, comet, etc. The artist using their imagination could have embellished on a cloud formation or some other celestial phenomenon. No doubt. Artists can create the seen and umseen. Doesn't have to be real. Another human flaw is passing judgment and punishing people for their beliefs, lifestyle, social status, etc. Therein lies the problem. 99.99% of the population didn't witness it. They aren't credible without evidence and proof. No proof or evidence. Just like thieves and liars, some folks enjoy trafficking in deceit and deception. A wise person keeps their 3rd eye open at all times. I'm not suggesting these men stole their credentials. I'm typing that it's not hard to obtain them. Past up to present, there are many military and civilians with higher level clearances in various areas of national security. Over several deacades, for thousands of people to have access to information makes it improbable that any credible proof or evidence of UAP/UFO/ET has never been leaked.

Similar to a hallucination. Only shows up to those want to see and believe it. in the case of UAP/UFO/ET, it's amazing that 99.99% of the population has never seen it.

I only need proof in order to believe any of it. Otherwise, I simply don't believe any of it. Of course, I'm the resident agnostic around here too. That's easy. Stop showing up if the UAP/UFO/ET wishes to remain unidentified. Maybe so. Appears to be different forms of entertainment from where I sit.

It doesn't make sense that I should have to do something in order to prove UAPs/UFOs/ETs exist. I shouldn't have to demand the government opens up the files and provide full access to any hidden or suppressed information. It's on the UAPs/UFOs/ETs to make themselves known if they exist. Similar to the Congressional hearings filled with testimonies that aren't worth the travel expenses or recording. To date, that information still hasn't been declassified. They can only call them drones until people provide proof or evidence that it's a UAP/UFO/ET.

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/jimmy-carter-death-news-12-29-24/index.html A month and a half after voting in the last election, 39th POTUS Jimmy Carter has passed away. POTUS Carter had been in hospice for almost 2 years. Also, he survived his wife, former FLOTUS Rosalynn Carter by 1 year and 1 month. We knew his time was drawing near. Fittingly, before the New Year rolls in, whatever will become of this country is no longer of concern to him. RIP POTUS Jimmy Carter.

*Normally* doesn't account for every artist and writer past to present. Humans have been able to study and build things i.e. science and engineering for a long time. An ancient civilization built the pyramids several thousand years ago. Boat building doesn't require imagination. Just a rudimentary understanding of physics and the necessity of traveling across water. My point remains that human imagination allows the mind to produce what the eyes cannot see. Some folks can document the events of their mind's eye i.e. imagination. Sure. There is no shortage of financial incentives in a cover-up. It sells news, books, magazines, TV, film, etc. Whole agencies, organizations and businesses are built around selling people on things they believe and cannot prove. Christmas time is a great example. They have been selling Santa Claus for 100s of years now. Most adults know there is no obese white guy riding around on a sleigh powered by reindeer passing out gifts to a billion children. Government officials specialize in telling lies. It's a prerequisite of the job. Neil DeGrasse Tyson in the linked video said an eyewitness account is the weakest form of evidence. Still, we don't have a couple hundred or thousand people claiming the exact same sighting. We don't have a camera crew onsite as NTSB goes over the spaceship wreckage and pulls bodies from it. This is becoming circular. You're insisting there is or could be a cover-up. My point is a real UAP/UFO/ET would make itself known to more a handful of people. This isn't about being *right* or *wrong* or *smart*. I'm entitled to my belief and opinion. I do have a *right* to question everything presented to me. Again, it never crashes in the most public places. The Miami Mall story was debunked within minutes. Astronomers geek out over wormholes. They theorize that it would take a huge amount of energy to create a wormhole. Yet, they have zero proof or evidence that wormholes exist. Amazingly, it doesn't much to get folks on board with these beliefs. Crazy that many of these "scientists" have gray hair i.e. they're old fools, er, folks trying to sell the rest of us into believing this stuff exists, Government credentials aren't that hard to get. Bad actors i.e. terrorists and other criminals have been able to steal them.

Why should I have to do something in order to prove the existence of UAPs/UFOs/ETs? The American public accepted the explanation? The information was never leaked or declassified? The future is now as they are calling these sightings drones instead of UAPs/UFOs/ETs. With cameras everywhere, it would be even more impossible to hide or suppress such things if they existed.

Reportedly, Denzel was baptized and received a minister's license. I guess like honorary degrees and keys to the city, the by-products of money, fame and celebrity is more awards and accolades. While religion isn't something folks in Hollywood talk about, supposedly, Denzel has been vocal about his faith. Most folks in Hollyweird are quiet about whatever they choose to believe. Then again, religion and politics are usually subjects that people choose to avoid in certain situations especially when it comes to business and work environments. Eliminates arguments and conflicts. Remains to be seen whether or not Denzel will go to seminary school and either join or start a church one day. Regardless, I would be surprised if he preached against whatever he's taught and/or already believes. After all, the man is already one of the greatest actors of all time.

Right. Goes back to human imagination. Abstract images and similar have always been reflected in artwork. There's no shortage of books, magazines, TV And film content of otherworldly phenomenon. Technology just allows us to capture and/or express our imagination and creativity better. As I just posted in the other thread, I'm looking for proof that cannot be hidden or suppressed by a handful of people. We witness natural disasters, wars, accidents, etc. The landing of a spaceship and/or arrival of ETs should be no different. Who or what makes these people highly credible? Again, these people do not have any receipts. They're just talking about what they claim to believe. Scientists are not exempt from being kooks. Renowned astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson refuses to admit that ETs exist. Right now we live on a planet inhabited by 8 billion people. That's almost 16 billion eyes open at any given time of day. Earthlings are never all asleep at the same time. If anything extraordinary moves in the skies above or ground underneath, there will be more than a handful of witnesses. No confusion, hiding or suppression. Sure. Seems like there's always been some form of 3% of the population controlling in one way or another the other 97% of it. My skepticism is rooted in believing half of what I see and none of what I hear especially if there are no receipts i.e. proof. So, for someone like myself, a spaceship would have to crash land in such a way that it could not be hidden or suppressed by a handful of people. People give themselves all type of credentials and claim to be experts in sh8t that either doesn't exist or doesn't really *matter* in the grand scheme of things.

I shouldn't have to do anything if the ETs decide to park their UFO at the White House or Wal-Mart parking lot; step out and declare they're here. An unfortunate side effect of being human.

If *they* being ETs came down and made themselves known to all Earthlings, I'd have to accept it. True. Imagination is a blessing. It' is a *curse* when used to confuse or trick and deceive others.

Sure. Replacing English Lit with Accounting would be fine. Don't know that we would see results any differently from so many folks with advanced knowledge in math, science and accounting already. Americans are willing to *study* anything if the price is *right*.

The leaks have only proven to be inconclusive by their own admissions under testimony. Human beings have imagination. Not surprised that artists have been drawing objects. No different from science fiction writers. Still, nothing proves the existence of UAPs/UFOs or ETs. Disclosure would have to be irrefutable proof. They would have to fire up the spaceship or have an alien locked up in a facility before most folks would believe it.' POTUS Reagan was right to the extent that human beings were threatened by something else, they would close ranks and try to fight it. Oligarchs are recognized even in Putin's Russia. However, to date, America refuses to acknowledge it is an oligarchy or aristocracy. Still hiding behind democracy and capitalism. I would welcome an alien life form coming down and forcing humans to close ranks and get along better with each other. I just don't believe it's going to happen. Not in my lifetime.
