Oooh that was a testy exchange :) Even before the Robert business came up I was alarmed by her methodology: she seemed to be starting from a theory, looking for evidence that appears to fit that theory and then excluding everything that doesn't fit. As for Robert, well, it sounds like a nascent...

One little point: like many Americans Col. Halt appears to have trouble with the fact that "England" doesn't actually have any security services per se, and has not had for several hundred years. Britain and England are not the same place. I know that's irrelevant carping but it really is in...

Now, how long before Hoagland cites that as evidence (I mean, that peace sign is clearly proof of his hyperdimensional physics :). Like everything with an angle apparently is)?

I honestly don't give a shit about Michael Jackson, dead or alive. The sad thing was that he was clearly mentally unbalanced - but I honestly don't feel that the world is in any way lessened by his passing. Sorry to buck the prevailing wisdom, but singing like a demented 10 year old girl and...

Given the relative sizes of the nuclear arsenals involved, I think it would be fair to ask "You and whose army?". I assume that like much of the drivel that comes out of Dear Leader's drool-flecked gob, this one is primarily intended for internal consumption. I'm sure talking tough gets him...

Didn't you know? "Horn" is Pleiadean for "Pathetic failure". Such an eloquent and expressive language :)

John Burroughs struck me as a level-headed and rational witness, even after being exposed to LMH. If the time travel point has not been injected as misdirection it might tie in interestingly with the "slowing down" he mentioned - which reminded me of what some call the Oz Factor. Could it be a...

Thanks for the reminder! I'd forgotten to listen, I've been spellbound/in awe/horrified by events in Iran for days now. I think another trip through the looking glass is just what the doctor orderered.

Not that I buy the trade route thing, but you're making an unjustified leap in limiting the discussion to raw materials. Logically, trade if it exists between planets would be in whatever is unique to a planet: its biological resources (food is unlikely since it probably wouldn't be compatible...

The exo-politics loons seriously need to get a life (and a nodding acquaintance with reality would be really special too). I'm glad to see something being done, since next month will be 40 years since Apollo 11. Finding a water source would be a huge plus.

People seem to think that the reason the aliens don't talk is that they communicate telepathically: this is incorrect. It is because they would inevitably say nothing but "Smurf smurf smurf smurf", which would give the game away. Then they might as well go and put their little hats back on...

You're right Jonah, everything is on the table. And we have no idea how much more advanced than us they are - as Leppy pointed out recently there is no set timetable for development. It is in fact conceivable that they could be behind us in certain areas (it's a matter of the road not taken...

That scene has always struck me as staged - I suspect it's an example of alien disinformation. I'd be almost willing to bet they conceal their origin as a matter of course.

The trouble with incidents of this kind in the context of a phenomenon we still know diddly about is working out what they mean, since we have no context to put them into. Are they part of a master plan by a hostile alien power? (in which case it's pretty hard to fathom their strategic point)...

Treading gingerly (as someone who believes in the literal truth of transubstantiation) I'd say that cannibalism for purposes other than food (and we should not underrate the importance of cannibalism for food) can be broadly put into 2 categories: hostile and friendly. Hostlile cannibalism is...

I wasn't surprised when he trotted out the Zionists, but Waco? Hmmmm.... Seriously, has anyone ever seen him and Jeff Rense in a room at the same time? Time for some Dylan I think: The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be...

I personally think the same thing is behind the obsession with abductions: lights in the sky just weren't getting us anywhere, the landings had tailed off, so accounts of actually being taken aboard craft and interacting with their occupants were too good to pass up.

Played a role in what way? It was certainly common in my country until after the 1860s, for reasons of religion, to humilate enemies and also simply as a food source (until European colonisation humans were the only large land mammal here other than the dogs that came with them...the dogs got...

Excellent post Leppy. I share your frustration with simplistic assumptions. It's good to get this stuff out there for people to discuss and think about.

Reincarnation has always struck me as a messy concept (what's the mechanism that determines whether a new-born gets a returning soul or a new one, or are new souls displaced by revenants? - (nasty)). Still, facts on the ground are facts on the ground. However, I do think it is possible to...
