shadowsword87 07/26/23 3:55:48 PM #27 | ReturnOfFa posted... Nobody that's come forward with this type of 'intelligence' has been prosecuted for lying under oath, as far as I recall. It's not illegal to talk about what someone else said, and then lie about it. That is not lying under oath. That's why we need proof to make decisions and hold our belief about the world. |

shadowsword87 07/26/23 2:48:35 PM #14 | Jen0125 posted... I don't see why people think it's crazy that 10s of thousands of gov members could keep something under wraps? They have security clearances for a reason. There's so much they do that none of us know about but hundreds or thousands of gov members might. So, the NSA hires over 30k people. One of the large pillars of the Government at this point. There's a massive, massive building that thousands of people park at. There's a wikipedia page for it and talk about what they do. 10's of thousands of people, for a government organization, is huge. Then consider warehouses that have to be involved, and maintaining that. Civilian contractors and experts that obviously need to be brought in. People also mix up the military and the government in all of these as well. The FBI doesn't really give a shit about planes, there's a whole military police that would handle it. This has also been going on for over 50 years? Tens of thousands of people in dozens of no-fly zones with massive hangers? And not one person decided to sell out, and actually sell out not just vague references? That's not even touching the fact that nobody seems to talk about what has been reversed engineered. I have not seen anyone point to a single technology that has been reversed engineered, or eluded to. There's so many references to it, but companies build these parts. I interviewed at a place that designed, built, tested, and shipped out the computers that the brand new military aircraft were being shipped out. There was no alien technology, just a fuckton of money and tests. So either nobody bothered to tell the people making things, or, nothing was reversed. |

shadowsword87 07/26/23 10:52:59 AM #4 | Oh man I wonder how many people must be apart of a government cover up to hide aliens. Must be tens of thousands, weird how they all managed to keep it secret. I also am excited about all of this new alien technology that the government is hiding in secret. It's odd how I haven't seen any of it when I interviewed in a place building airplane parts. Must not have been where the CPU was. |

I saw an image of clarity. I saw a comic strip... a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me... changed my being, changed who I am... Made me who I am... Enlightened me... The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new... no more than maybe a month and a half since inception, since... since coming into existence... and there it was before me in print, I saw it... a comic strip... What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that... I will get to this later, but first let us say that he's Jon, a plain man. And then there is a cat... Garfield. This is the nature of the world, here. When I see the world, the politics, the future, the... the satellites in space, and... the people who put them there... You can look at everything as a man and a cat... two beings, in harmony and at war... So, this strip I saw; this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see... Yes... hmm... It is about everything. This... little comic is, oh, lo and behold... not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic... and it hit me all at once, its power. I clipped it, and every day, I looked at it, and I said "Okay... let me look at this here. What is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful?" Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed... comfortable in his home, and he reads his newspaper... The news of the world, perhaps... and then he extends his fingers lightly, delicately... he taps his fingers on an end table, and he feels for something... What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. And then he looks up, slightly cockeyed, and he thinks... His newspaper's in his lap now, and he thinks this... Now where could my pipe be? This... I always come to this, because I was a young man... I'm older now, and I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks... Now where could my pipe be? And then it happens... You see it, you see... it's almost like divine intervention, suddenly it is there, and it overpowers you... A cat is smoking a pipe. It is the man's pipe, it's Jon's pipe, but the cat... this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe... and from afar, and someplace near, but not clear... near but not clear... The man calls out... Jon calls out, he is shocked. "Garfield!" he shouts. Garfield. The cat's name. But, let's take a step back... let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives... and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my father's house... a newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized its sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, and landed on the kitchen floor... I picked up the paper pages and saw, up somewhere near the top of this strip... just like Jon, I was wearing an aquamarine shirt. So I thought, "Ah, interesting. I'll have to see this later." I snipped out the little comic, and held on to it... and five days later, I reexamined it... and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this. The information I had was minimal, but enough... An orange cat named Garfield... Okay, that seemed to be the lynchpin of this whole operation, yes. Another clue... a signature in the bottom right corner, a man's name... Jim Davis. Yes, I'm on to it for sure. So... one: Garfield, orange cat, and two: Jim Davis, the creator of this cat... And that curiously plain man. I did not know, at the time, that his name was Jon. This strip, you see, had no mention of this man's name, and I'd never seen it before. But I had these clues; Jim Davis, Garfield. And then I saw more, I spotted the tiny copyright mark in the upper left corner. Copyright 1978 to... what is this? Copyright belongs to a... PAWS Incorporated... I use the local library and mail services to track down the information I was looking for... Jim Davis, a cartoonist, had created a comic strip about a cat, Garfield... and a man, Jon Arbuckle. Well, from that point on, I made sure I read the Garfield comic strips, though as I read each one, as each day passed... the strips seemed to resonate with me less and less... I sent letters to PAWS Incorporated, long letters, pages upon pages... asking if Mister Jim Davis could somehow publish just the one comic, over and over again... "It would be meditative," I wrote, "the strength of that." Could you imagine? But... no response... The strips lost their power, and eventually I stopped reading, but... I did not want my perceptions diluted, so I vowed to read the pipe strip over and over again... That is what I call it, "The Pipe Strip." The Pipe Strip. Everything about it is perfect. I can only describe it as a miracle creation, something came together... the elements aligned... It is like the comets, the cosmic orchestra that is up there over your head... The immense, enormous void is working all for one thing, to tell you one thing... Gas and rock, and purity, and nothing. I will say this... When I see the pipe strip... and I mean every single time I look at the lines, the colors, the shapes that make up the three panel comic... I see perfection. |

It's in a bit of legal limbo at the moment: illegal per books after 15 weeks, but the governor does not want to enforce the rules. Yeah, I'm currently waiting to see how things shake out post-election, which I have a feeling will help clear a bunch of stuff up. |

It would not be a huge consideration I would have if I were moving somewhere It's her metric for if womans health is leaning positively or not. Plus one of the states, Ohio, has gone after a person for what they did on another state. At the end of the day though, it's not my business or my responsibility to tell her what she is, or isn't, comfortable with. She says she's not ok, and that's that. |
