re: Aliens / UFO disclosures begin Fri May 8

Yeah I watched a documentary a few years back and they were talking about that. Just trying to remember off the top of my head though I think they estimated that Gigantopithecus was about 15 ft tall and around 1,500 lbs I think it was. Gigantopithecus was a big big boy. I could be off a little bit that seems right. I dont think Gigantopithecus was bipedal. I’m sure he still had massive feet though if he was really that big. If I’m not bad mistaken I think they said that the closest living relative to Gigantopithecus would be the Orangutan. It was a pretty interesting watch. If I remember the name of the documentary I will pass it on. Like I said this was a few years back.

I didnt say that Bigfoot was Gigantopithecus. Once hundreds of thousands of years ago when Gigantopithecus lived you could have called him Bigfoot. He was actually larger than what we call Bigfoot today. Since he was larger I used the term Bigfoot loosely to describe him. As I stated pretty clearly a large ape creature has already existed In Gigantopithecus. The argument is not is Bigfoot real? The argument is do we have a cousin to Gigantopithecus still alive today? Gigantopithecus proves it certainly is possible for a large ape like creature to still exist today. Don’t take everything so literal. I wasn’t claiming Gigantopithecus and Bigfoot are the same creature. I was just describing him as Bigfoot because he was actually larger than what we describe as Bigfoot today.

When people claim that the UFO/UAP phenomenon are related to inter-dimensional beings or time travelers I have always strongly disagreed with them. Usually in life the answer to questions we do not understand is most often the simplest. There are just way to many planets in the universe for life not to have taken root on a good number of them. It’s far more likely we are being visited by a species from one or several of those planets than time travelers or inter- dimensional beings.
Now the claim that drives me crazy and I find as cringey as nails on a chalkboard is when people try to claim that Bigfoot is related to the UFO/UAP phenomenon. Bigfoot is not a wookie that traveled millions of miles across space with Han Solo to run around the forests of the earth to scare the hell out of some unsuspecting hiker. Making that claim totally discredits and makes fun of what people are experiencing and seeing in the skies. Bigfoot was a real creature that once existed called Gigantopithecus. The real question is does Gigantopithecus still have a distantly related cousin roaming the woods today not does Bigfoot exist. The subject of Bigfoot is a totally different topic from the UFO/UAP phenomenon. I get so irritated when people try to try to smash these two subjects together. I really do think it makes reasonably minded people roll their eyes and hurts the UFO/UAP argument.

Who knows! Maybe if mankind found out that we were not top of the food chain after all then we would stop trying to kill and make war on each other and start focusing on fighting this new threat together. Maybe it would do us some good to find out that a hostile race of aliens exists. Now I’m not stupid and naive enough to really and truly believe that so I will believe that when I see it also. All I will say is that I sincerely hope mankind could start pulling it together and work with each other. It would take all of us to overcome a threat like a hostile race of aliens.

I have always wondered to myself of what it would take for our government to finally admit that Alien life exists. The answer I come up with most often is when the military is finally able to not only reverse engineer a captured craft but to actually build one for use on the battlefield then they would finally admit that Aliens are real. We might be getting close.

Several Native American tribes talked about star people. The Navajo I know for sure does. I just don’t think it would be a problem among most populations. I think most societies have grown up about the subject and have concluded that Aliens do exist. Outside of a few nutjob cults like I said I think most people would be ok with it. Most people I think would be excited to find out honestly.

I think most countries could handle finding out Aliens exist ok. I wouldn’t expect a reaction like what took place back in the 30’s during the Wells broadcast of War of the Worlds. I think most people have concluded that if Alien life is real that God made them also. It has no bearing if a creator exists or not. The General public across most of the world would be ok. Some far less educated societies may struggle with it and go into mass panic but everyone in a 1st or 2nd world society will accept it and move on. I’m sure there will be a few nut job cults out there that could commit Harry Carey like the Heaven’sGate cult did back in the 90’s but I wouldn’t expect mass chaos and runs on banks.

I’m sorry but I will just have to see it to believe it. I hope I’m wrong and I would love to be wrong about this but I just do not see the government releasing any information that proves one way or another that Alien life exists. I’m looking for the same type of grey area videos and photos that will walk up to the line and suggest Alien life exists but never really proves it.

The Navy mainly uses technology to go after mines today. They use a lidar device to mainly find them. They have a helicopter mounted device and I think they also have something like a ROV that has lidar also. I’m sure it’s the best tech money can buy but I don’t know how eager I would be to jump on a ship and ride through the area this stuff just cleared lol.

Well from what I understand Iran can drop mines very easily. It doesn’t take some specialized type of ship. I heard one of the military talking heads on tv say once that almost any type of ship can drop a mine that it was that easy. If it really is that easy and they have mines that survived the war to this point then we could clear them all day and they could just put them right back. We should have taken out those pleasure craft boats when we got the bigger ships to be honest. We should have at least been giving them the coke boat treatment anytime they show up on the water. Those boats can still be dangerous. They can pack them with explosives if nothing else and use them in a USS Cole type attack. They are a threat that needs to go away for sure.

Yeah. If a ship hits a mine it’s almost certainly going to the bottom and become a total loss. A drone or a missile could do it to I’m sure if hit in the right spot but those type of attacks could be survived a lot easier also. It’s the only reason I can think of anyway.

I understand what you are saying and it makes sense. You or I though is not on the hook to pay out billions of dollars though if a ship hits a mine the Navy missed or strays a little to far outside of the zone that has been cleared and hits one.
I guess they look at it like a drone or missile attack could be survived a lot easier than a ship hitting a mine. I don’t know but they certainly broadcast out that policies would not be honored if they kept operating in a war zone. I can’t say I blame them though. I would turn as green as Kermit the frog if I was on the hook to pay out billions of dollars when it comes to anything lol.
Just having those ships set there though makes them wide open to attack from drones and the boats you are talking if Iran took a notion.

Now go explain that to one of these insurance companies that would be on the hook for paying out billions of dollars if a ship is lost. Just the suggestion of a ship hitting a mine is enough to scare those people into telling these ship owners they will not be covered if they keep operating. The ship owners park the vessels and all of a sudden you have a log jam of idle ships.

The only thing retarded would be to keep on doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. We had a deal with these people at one time and they lied and cheated. What good is an agreement with these people when we know what the outcome will be. They will wait Trump out and then start violating the agreement first chance they get even if it’s just to test the waters and see how far a new American administration will let them go and see what they can get away with. I have absolutely no hope or faith in any Democrat to keep them to any agreement they sign. Other than Rubio I can’t think of any R’s that would keep them to any agreement they make with Trump. What was the point of all this in the first place if all we wanted was a deal? We reset the nuclear clock that’s good. We would be totally depending on this regime to be honest and hand over all the nuclear dust as Trump calls it. How do we know they didn’t remove some of it and our intel agencies missed it. The only way we could ever be sure is to get a government running Iran that is friendly to the U.S. and would hand every ounce of that stuff over to us if found. It’s just time to be done with these people and remove the threat so we can start paying attention to the biggest threat we face geopolitically which is China.

He is the only person I see with enough stones to order the military back over there to finish the job if they violate any agreement they sign. No Dem would do it at all. Most R’s wouldn’t do it. That is why a deal of any kind is basically useless here.

Yeah all Iran had to do was make this threat publicly and the people that insured these ships got scared and shut the Strait down for them.

The problem with getting the Strait of Hormuz open is the threat of mines. Iran said they mined it. Nobody really knows for sure. Because of that the insurance companies covering these ships will not pay off should they hit a mine. These little boats are not shutting down shipping or even the drones or missiles. The threat of mines is the biggest problem. Until the conflict is over and every inch of the Strait can be checked for mines I don’t know if these insurance companies will allow these ships to move through Hormuz. All the more reason to start bombing again and get this over with as fast as possible.

We can all sleep well tonight. Bill Cassidy has now informed us that the 2020 election was not stolen. I don’t know about anyone else on here but I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear from Bill Cassidy on the integrity of the 2020 election.

The time for negotiations and love taps is far beyond over. Iran is not Venezuela where we had a corrupt member of the Maduro regime that was willing to play ball with us and willing to sell out to do what the Trump administration wants them to do. These people running Iran are something different totally. Trump may have the swagger to keep them in check but in a little over 2 years Trump will leave office. Trump will not be on Marine 1 leaving the White House for 30 seconds before they start violating the agreement they signed. If Marco Rubio is President after Trump then I can be fooled into thinking he will hold this regime in Iran accountable. If it’s a Dem or most Republicans that becomes President then this regime in Iran will violate any agreement made and the people in charge will not hold them accountable. This will be to do again at some point and it will be a lot worse than if we just finished this off now.
