Please explain. Hurting our fellow human being by torturing them in different ways like 'stress positions' as discussed on around this article is pretty different than mystical space ships coming. Yes, the us gave lsd to people to see what would happen. It's terrible. Also the us kidnapped teenagers all of the world who were accused of being terrorists and tortured them in black prisons, on my behalf, and I hate that. So what is the next step you forsee happening know that more people know about this?

This used to be in the same category as bigfoot and UFOs, now it's written up in major media. For a lot of people that makes it harder to dismiss which leads to serious "cognitive dissonance". That's what I find fascinating to watch: society going through the process that I went through as an individual to come to terms with what happened.

If cognitive dissonance happens on a wide enough scale to enough people simultaneously all kinds of weird stuff can happen. As the mind recalculates and recalibrates belief systems new information has a chance to take hold. (E.g. the Reformation; or the founding of USA, there are more new religions in the US than the rest of the world combined.)

I have no idea what will happen from this particular revelation.

I wouldn't categorize this as being too similar to bigfoot and UFOs. There is a lot of strange things the government and society does at large that is similarly substantiated,but still ignored by society at large though (the human-cow embryo experiments performed in the UK come to mind when thinking about oddities in the world)

Operation Northwoods Gulf of tonkin Operation blue book The Lavon Affair Lisuitania The banning of hemp by paper manufacturers Pearl Harbour was planned Reichstag burning 9/11(2 planes, 4 buildings) Cecil Rhodes and his round table: steering world policy since 1895 Standard oil still exits and owns every strategic resource in the world.

Look all that shit up, and see if you will still defend your gorvenment.

Buy vintage newspapers or use primary sources not fucking snopes or Wikipedia

Whats wrong with wikipedia? I've heard of many of those events and checked out those things and there were entries for those things at wikipedia.

just because people passionately believe things doesn't make them true. there are 1000s of videos and clear evidence of planes hitting the buildings on 9/11 for example, plus 1000's of people saw it.

Johnson was trying to get the war in vietnam kicked off. People knew about it later and didn't care.

Sigh. Why do you mention religion? That is the largest disinformation of all to me. No matter which.

By that i don't even mean to disregard anything supernatural, spiritual, or whatever is above our current understanding of the ways in which nature works.

I just feel that any organized religion is a form of totalitarian gatekeeping.

Imagine for example some dystopic society where for whatever reason there is only one fast food provider with a limited menu available. While fruits and berries do exist outside of the walled ghettos, but nobody dares to go there, because FORBIDDEN.

That is what every religion, church, sect, cult is to me. Some asshole saying this is and countless drones repeating it for all eternity, which is not making it so, just an annoying loud drone instead.

Call it memetic pollution.

Ah my lad, come to Church
