Man... that was... something. I mean, for 90% of the show I was just thinking "Uh-huh... yeah... heard it before... heard that before too... nothing new here..." Then when we got to the end things started to get interesting as the wheels began to come off. And then he mentioned Commander X...

Any nation still clinging to old-school communism in the 21st century can't really be considered "forward thinking".

Community spirit! Feel the love!

Ah yes but the "preamble" to occam's razor is "All things being equal..." meaning that it begins from a position that things can be understood in the first place. That may not be the case where UFOs are concerned.

When dealing with an absolute unknown there is no such thing as "likely", only presumptions and preferences.

Just as there are more mundane explanations there are also more exotic theories. Things like time travellers, extra-dimensional entities and crypto-terrestrials, all of which get discussed around these here parts from time to time...

I think you mistook my use of the word "ritual" to mean something spiritually based. I meant it in the psychological sense, such as occurs in compulsive behaviour disorders, something which is done repeatedly, often at a nigh-unconcious level. Since all four of these examples would require...

My own experience parallels yours. The skeptics will never accept it but the reality is you don't forget this stuff, you just don't. It becomes part of you, engrained, permanent and undeniable, like you grew an extra finger or something.

Martina- Welcome to the forum. Angel's a good enough guy when you talk to him, he's just a hard edged skeptic. What's important to remember is that a) he wasn't there and didn't see what you saw and b) his opinion doesn't actually affect you, your credibility or the reality of your sighting...

Heh... I'd actually forgotten about this guy. It's all coming back to me now though... a planet with an impossibly thick atmosphere... mushroom pudding... magic glow-rods that can stun or kill... gambling aliens... Sears clothing... Wow, I really know too much about this sort of thing. To...

I challenge you to seperate the two. Define for me what indoctrination without ritual or ceremony is. No... no... your missing the larger picture. Ask yourself who's doing it to the baby and why they're doing it and then redress the issue of indoctrination as a generational affair. The...

Obviously I'm only talking about the modern US military. The only reason I brought up the soviets earlier was because I wanted to examine the religious element, not the national one. No one is born into the military, pressure or no pressure. If you're suggesting that voluntary enlistment by an...

The difference is the military is a volunteer service and if you sign up you know what you're in for. Religion on the other hand is thrust upon people without their consent, through family, through society, through whatever. To my mind that's a big whopping difference.

And if they should come with that justification already "pre-installed" before they enlist, what then...? You can't really blame the military for co-opting it. When it becomes part of basic training on the other hand, THEN it's flat-out indoctrination and that's when you have to start paying...

That's an interesting supposition, Ron. If we take for example the average soviet soldier during the cold war who was (at least in theory) an atheist, they obviously still managed to get on with the business of soldiering. That would imply religion isn't necessarily necessary in military...

A) For future reference it's "Molech" although I have also seen it spelled "Molach". Depends on the scholar. B) Molech's not an owl, he's a bull-headed human like a minotaur. Near as I can tell from my own research this "Molech is an owl" thing is a 100% fabrication on the part of Alex Jones to...

Phil Schneider. Bill Cooper. John Lear. These are the names of men who have supported the idea of a base at Dulce. Food for thought.

Because we see it all the time. Guys like McGaha and Schermer always like to bring up cases were self-styled Ufologists declare they have "irrifutable proof" of whatever that upon further professional scrutiny turns out to be something mundane. Then they hold that up like a standard bearer and...

That's not really enough though. The esitmate I saw was that this planet is 3.5x the size (or perhaps it was mass) of the earth. No matter how you slice it, even if it's class M that's still not really "earth like".

Not really. Sloppy investigation would just give debunkers more ammo by allowing them to attack both the data and the investigator. The armchair critic has no such impact on the field.
