Thank God somebody has finally compiled all this.

I'd be more concerned if our brains were dry...

God is perfection.

In that vein, the same could be said of the Naigaje then: they're biologically predisposed to violence.

None of that changes the fact that, as sentient beings, we are not only able to reason and use critical thinking, but have a responsibility to overcome these biological predispositions.

God's gift of sentience (or Free Will) dictates we each wage a constant internal battle against our own primordial Monkey (or Bird/Lizard) Brains. This responsibility falls on each individual of His Creation, along with the freedom to choose to ignore it.

Why are so many aliens evil?

I'd just like to add on to what you said in this point:

We can also ask ourselves, "Why are so many humans evil?"

There are both "good" and "evil" people throughout this universe. We just happen to be caught in the crossfire of some not-so-well-intentiones offworlders.

For every high-ranking Consortium official signing off on abductions and experimentation, there are also completely normal ET families throughout the universe just trying to get by and live their lives, or ET-analogs of our own Mother Theresa or MLK.

These creatures are beholden to the same desires and proclivities as we are - be it for good or evil. "As above, so below," after all.

We just happen to exist at a moment in time in which we are getting a front row view to the machinations of Intergalactic Pfizer.

Omg this is perfect! Hahahaha

sigh... 🤦‍♀️

A good culling = artificial scarcity = profit

COVID and the mRNA shots were great for the Consortium's bottom line.

I've never understood the idea that disclosure would be incompatible with any major world religion. The logic just doesn't follow. The existence of sentient life elsewhere in the universe, or even living among us, does not contradict the core tenets of any major world religion. Rather, it complements them.

I also can't comprehend why this would be earth-shattering from a secular point of view. Throughout human history, we've constantly uncovered various truths through exploration and discovery - new environments, new species, new methodologies in medicine, etc. We are always seeking and learning. Aliens are just another thing to "discover" scientifically.

And I can't justify why disclosure would be groundbreaking from a sociological perspective, either. Our own history is rife with corruption and deceit. Time and time again, we have exposed the secret workings of insidious leaders and led revolutions in the name of a better QoL for "the People."

Anyway you look at it, there is absolutely no logical reason for disclosure to cause mass global hysteria and a breakdown of society.

Unless people were led to believe that's what should happen.

Hopefully, grammar isn't your weapon of choice.

Says the one making sweeping generalizations.

The same goes for trusting humans.

Any of them?

and this gem: https://youtu.be/_cZC67wXUTs

Hubris is not bound by race, class, education, creed, income, or species.

It wasn't him on that flight, but his otherworldly "colleagues." And I think it has less to do with affordability, and more to do with logistic limitations.

I'm more concerned with how a Ba'alaket handled being forced to travel coach. Who needs the Xanax, now?

I suggest you go back and read through the sub. I also recommend against getting chipped.

If gender truly is just a social construct and nothing more, then what, exactly, are people transitioning to?

Aaaah... how I long for days when standing up for gay rights meant walking a friend home so he didn't get beaten bloody dead in an alleyway just because he likes to suck cock.

Your proposed strategy presumes the ignorant masses have enough remaining brain cells left to think critically and have a bit of sense knocked back into them.

Unfortunately, I fear the mental gymnastics of the "trans rights" movement has won out among two key groups:

1. The self-purported intelligentsia who truly believe they are on the cutting-edge of progressive inclusivity and equality, and

2. The apathetic downtrodden just trying to get on with their day.

At the end of the day, the average person just isn't directly threatened enough by the trouble that is brewing. And until people start to feel the direct impacts of this downward spiral, good luck convincing them to course-correct.

Unfortunately, that means shit is going to get really bad before people take a stand... and it's going to be a violent stand.

Until then, my pronouns are "they/them" and I identify concurrently as both an interdimensional multiplicity of light... and a sea sponge. 🫡

Analysis has determined that the objects retrieved are “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin)"...

Interesting that they classify "non-human" as "extraterrestrial" or "unknown.*

One of my favorite things about being alive in this current time period has been witnessing J.K. Rowling be lambasted by both the hard-right and hard-left for her "dangerous views that threaten children."

That old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be...

all your base are belong to us

Roll with me on this hypothetical for a moment:

If enough people knew about this and willingly donated genetic material and immunity products, we could bankrupt their whole operation. We could create a competing corporation based on donated material that could be sold offworld for far less than what the Consortium charges, I'm sure.

With profits plummeting, the Kayeen couldn't afford to sustain the life extension arm of their little project. At least not to the extent it is now.

I'd love the opportunity to free market them into oblivion.

That's what always got me about this whole thing...

If some random-ass Kayeen came up to me and said "Hey... my species is dying and your genetic material is the only thing that can keep us from being annihilated," I'd go donate my blood once a month in exchange for them buying me a fucking coffee. And I'm not even one of the nice humans!

It's the lying and stealing that pisses me off.

Edit: I'm not even asking for some artisinal cappuccino from some swanky independent coffeehouse in the artsy neighborhood. I'll take a Dunkin.

"O, wonder!

How many goodly creatures are there here!

How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,

That has such people in't."

What other ways do you propose?

I'm certain what is said here about the Beacon is as accurate as can be. I cannot give you any satisfying answer as to how I am certain.

1. This isn't my platform to do that,
2. It isn't in anyone's interest to for me to reveal what has been told to me in confidence, and
3. I have no desire to go into depth regarding my personal experiences on the matter, let alone in a public venue.

Well, I'd rather acknowledge your question than ignore it completely.

To me, a "profit motive" implies personal gain. I see no incentive for personal gain here on RD's part. I really don't. He isn't looking for money, power, or prestige.

The only way I can twist this to make him seem profit-motivated would be through his desire to make himself right with God. To strive to do so would, obviously, be advantageous to him. But that is advantageous to everyone... so are we all profit-driven, then?

As for this:

> Also, how can you be so CERTAIN that you know what will happen if the beacon gets answered as prescribed?

I am not at liberty, nor under any obligation, to discuss that here.

RD is a bit separated from his own kind, though. I'd wager the majority of the Naigaje here see him as a traitor to their own race. Or a thorn in their side, at the bare minimum. A few see him as an individual fulfilling their own "prophecy" of sorts. To that end, the goal would be to spare the Naigaje from the harshest judgment they could receive for their meddling in human affairs.

Outside of trying to influence the Naigaje toward penitence and the humans toward liberty, I see no "profit motive" in his actions. Can you clarify this with any examples?

Perhaps you're getting thrown off by what you perceive as his distaste for human affairs? He's been pretty open when it comes to calling out the shortcomings of those humans who are sociopathic and nihilistic - but that doesn't suggest a hatred of the human race as a whole.

That is something I can relate to. I'm terribly disappointed with humanity - possibly more so than he is - but I'll be damned if I don't stand behind what is right.

>One of the first things I attempted to get clarity on from RD was the "Laws" (actually they are clearly only rules) that they are bound by. He would not elaborate. Tell me what fair society holds its members to rules that they are not allowed to know or have influence over?

These are their laws. We are not privy to them. We are not held to them. And we have no standing laws regarding interactions with extraterrestrials. Will corrupt members of the Consortium try to justify their actions by being within their own legal terms through loopholes and exceptions? Sure. Will they deceptively pick and choose which of those laws to "hold" us to? Absolutely. But they know damn well they have no grounds, and should the Assembly come, they'd be up a creek. Our own human leaders pull the same kind of shit.

The Beacon would call the representatives of the Assembly here immediately - and their authority and directives stem from God Himself. That is well above the pay grade of both the Consortium and the Calibration Society.

To call the Assembly here would break the shackles that have been placed on us, and bring us up to speed on intergalactic relations. We'd be able to stand on our own as a sentient species, and call the shots for ourselves. Some of humanity will choose to play by the Assembly's rules, and some will not. Either way, it will be our choice. How is that a bad thing?

How is it not?

>"you are in a world of shit, hope you can figure it out or your fucked. You have to kick these bastards out on your own. This warning is all we can do to help, good luck."

This is basically the overarching message of both this sub and r/reptiliandude, though.

Answering the Beacon isn't "handing over the leash." It's removing the whole collar.

This would be very awesome.

I don't think anyone here disagrees with that. It's on us to unite and be liberated. "Unity" comes in many flavors, though.

That said, there are many who deserve to be held accountable for actively keeping us from achieving that goal.

The only way to what?

Is it just another Kayeen propaganda piece about the "benevolent aliens" here to "save humanity?" The typical "tall whites good, reptilian bad" story? Those are the claims I approach with a heightened sense of caution.

RD's credibility lies in the no-bullshit exposure of how fucked all these offworlders are... and how, just like with humans, there are a few individuals among every species who are guided by the desire to do what is right.

How is Marshall Vian Summers receiving his information from this group of "Allies?"

My understanding from what you've stated is that Summers "sources" claim they will not intervene until we essentially "ask for" or "consent to" intervention, correct? How is that much different than answering the Beacon?

And where would you be getting your information?

lmao

Well, at least they're not packing what the Ba'Apashleem are...

Depends on the situation to me, honestly.

Well, to be completely honest, my empathy up there was a bit tongue-in-cheek. While I'm a small-scale empath, I'm unfortunately a bit of a cynic when it comes to the big picture.

Fuckery abounds at all levels of this game, and it's tiresome. I'd look forward to the afterlife equivalent of a remote cabin in the woods.

How can you bring up Naigaje genitalia without even a passing mention of the shocking shit the Ba'alaket have got going on down there?! 🤣

This is just the beginning of the end (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your vantage point).

We will never get an apology - at least not in this lifetime.

The talking heads kept up enough plausible deniability throughout this whole thing that they can now easily back-pedal with "Well, we didn't know..." or "That's not what we meant..." or "We were just reporting what we heard/were being told."

And "The Herd" just follows right along. I have family members who seem to forget they accused me of being a conspiracy theorist multiple times... and that every. single. fucking. thing. I told them turned out to be on the money. They've just decided to move on and pretend it all didn't happen.

I'm getting really tired of the lack of transparency, honesty, and accountability that I'm seeing everywhere - from your everyday Average Joe, to our leaders, to our fucking alien "overlords."

I'm gettin' real sick of it... real fast.

And, just like humans, they probably fail to realize their own hypocrisy.

I'm of the mindset that their disdain for us is some form of pitiful, projected, self-hatred.

You kind of have to feel bad for them, you know? I mean, can you imagine being alive for centuries (if not millennia) and still behaving like a teenager in a John Hughes film?

Also, I'd imagine once a species begins moving outside of its own system, the priorities shift a bit. Our off-world observers must be aware of this. I'm sure if they look at their own histories, they're just as full of warring factions and betrayal. Why would they expect any different from humanity based on our current spot on our own evolutionary timeline?

>The aliens who live here are extremely loyal to their own species, no matter the race. If one needed help, they could depend on beings from their empire or kingdom or collective to come to their aid, even if they are individuals unknown to them.

This can't be 100% true. I can't imagine that there isn't at least one off-worlder here that isn't as fed up with their own species as much as some of us our with ours. Or that, say, the Ba'alaket would come to the aid of a lone Janut they considered "treasonous."

Of course. As I said, it is a very serious disease, but it's important to not lead people to thinking that this is an airborne disease they can catch from just being in the same room as someone who has it. The more that people know, the better they can prepare.

It is important to instill a healthy level of concern and mindfulness as opposed to fear and panic. Arming oneself with knowledge and a plan can ensure survival, whereas a scared animal running blind will fall right off the cliff.

I think it's important to note that the 88% fatality rate is for untreated cases. The fatality rate is also estimated to be between 24% and 100%, as the sample sizes of outbreaks are generally too small to give a better CFR.

Also, while there is no specific cure or treatment, supportive care like IV fluids, blood and clotting factor transfusions, and maintaining vitals (like blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and temperature) can assist in patient recovery odds.

It's also worth mentioning that, as it stands, ebola and the Marburg virus are transmitted through contact with blood and bodily fluids.

This is a serious virus and important information to share, but people need to be armed with as much knowledge as possible in order to take the right protective measures and avoid panicking over the unknowns.

This option never sat well with me.

I mean, I think it should be an option - I just hope I'm not tethered to this world when it happens.

It's much more fun to be a thorn in the side of the oppressors during the reckoning they've brought upon themselves.

This very topic just popped up in my life last week.

There was a discussion about how incredibly and absolutely fucked the human situation is right now, and a shared incredulity at the fact that no one is doing anything about it.

The general consensus was that thingst just aren't bad enough yet for people to take up their torches and pitchforks. There is still juuust enough bread and circus going around to keep people from rising up.

So, in essence, shit is going to have to get a lot worse before people are angry enough to fight to make it better.

If I can see your comments, does that make me a bot, too?

He's always at the ready for that honey pot.

Yes, and sometimes that serves to make the "bad guys" think you're on their "team," gaining one the ability to sabotage from within.

And what, pray tell, is diamond made of?

We don't call them "engineered restructured carbon chain blades" in industry settings. We call them "diamond blades."

You're being pedantic about putting something in layman's terms.

How about we stop airing our dirty laundry?

For starters, private conversations between you and other members don't belong in public posts without their consent. That's disrespectful as shit.

Secondly, I get suspicious when folks do this, because I'm keenly aware they're telling only one side of the story. Thou shalt not bear false witness and all, am I right?

Lastly, it might not be in anyone's own best interest to publicly share the level of private communication they have with RD. If anyone should understand OPSEC, I'd think it'd be you.

These things, combined with the irrational conclusions you've drawn from the same information we're all getting, leads me to believe you are simply just an angry, narcissistic, dolt.

I'm sorry things aren't going the way you'd like them to, but that doesn't mean the people who disagree with you are evil. A child understands this.

Sorry to disappoint whatever twisted fantasy you've got playing on repeat in your mind, but RD isn't putting anything of his in my mouth.

I chime in around here when I want, to contribute what I feel like contributing. I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.

I couldn't give two shits whether I'm called out as a "coward" or a "hero," but I won't let some piddly-brained weasel twist my words around and extrapolate their meaning to suit his fancy.

Just because I don't have my lips as unbreakably sealed around the dick of the American oligarchy as you do, doesn't mean I'm over in a dark corner on the other side of the room taking it up the ass from Winnie the Pooh.

Of course they are - and it doesn't matter if "they" are human or otherwise.

I, personally, decided to forego "existential dread" in favor of "sublime irritation," with a dash of "weltschmertz."

Good to see you're around again.

There are many good men and many good women in China. Just because higher up government, military leadership, the CPC and Xi are compromised does not mean all of China should burn for it.

Do you honestly expect me to care for those people less solely because they're Chinese?!

Everything you just accused the Consortium/Siriv of doing to the US they are doing to the entire world.

RD has you convinced that the best option is for America to be broken apart.

This is not true. I have explicitly stated to you that I do not favor this option. So you are either not paying attention, an idiot, or both.

And just because I disagree with one stance, doesn't mean I hold the opposite to be true.

If there is one thing that gets me really riled up, it's people putting words in my mouth.

Don't put fucking words in my mouth.

Why the double standards? Are we to ignore the US's proxy war with Russia, forced "vaccination" of millions of its citizens, and the largest upward transfer of wealth in its history?

The US is not the "good guy." That doesn't mean China is.

Your myopic view of geopolitics is sophomoric at best, and downright dangerous at worst.

Many humans are being observed and their actions and words recorded.

I'd imagine anyone who interacted with the sub during the audit drew some interest. Some of those folks are still around, and haven't devolved into blathering puddles of insanity or despair.

And I'd even argue that the majority of humans could handle the information contained in the subreddit without losing their minds or their hope.

Please give them some credit.

From this bullshit three-ring circus sideshow?

I'm... not... preaching to you about Catholicism. Nor have I ever claimed to be an exemplary practitioner of it. 😂

That presupposes there is a nerve to be struck, and I assure you I am not that committed to this conversation.

You still didn't answer my questions. Additionally, what exactly have I backtracked on?

I have made it abundantly clear that on an individual basis, I bear no ill will towards anyone - human or otherwise.

On a broad scale, I'm disillusioned by the behaviors of various species - human or otherwise.

I see no reason to assume humanity as a whole will suddenly grow a collective conscience and decide to act graciously and benevolently should full disclosure occur.

Add the fact that contrition is a prerequisite for absolution, and I don't see anyone forgiving anybody any time soon.

No, I did not know what you meant.

I'm not sure I know what you mean in the rest of this comment, either.

Who is appearing before me? Why? What are they asking forgiveness for? Why has this shifted from the general views of entire species to a personal individual encounter? How do you presume to know what causes my butthole to pucker? Why are you thinking about my butthole?

Oh, I do reserve my harshest judgment for our "benefactors..." I'll be the first to say that the Kayeen and Ba'alaket, at least, are a disgrace to what their respective monikers represent. I just refuse to allow humanity to get off scot-free in the culpability department.

Speaking to every single person on this planet would defeat the purpose of what a "generalization" is...

And said generalization is based on historical evidence that supports the claim that humans are destructive and vengeful.

I've made it very clear that my contempt does not lie with the very few individuals that rise above this cycle. Unfortunately, though, they are not the ones calling the shots - for humanity or otherwise.

I separately had it brought to my attention that not all developed societies of sentient species function in this manner, but I have to see that evidenced here by either humanity or its oppressors.

So, until I have evidence of that, it's hard to disagree with your conclusion of "Fuck 'em."

Edit:

Despite that (and after looking into what the fuck "black pilled" meant), I'd still like to formally denounce nihilism.

There are individual sparks of light that shine brightly in the darkness, and every single soul should strive to live a life of truth, justice, charity, and love.

I can't ignore these beacons of hope. I am just keenly aware of the fact that, when observed in general terms, every damn species mentioned in this subreddit deserves its just punishments.

But no one has given me a clear answer as to why I should feel any more or less pity for one or the other.

What is the difference between how the Kayeen exploit humanity and how humans exploit their own?

One could say that they've been around a while and should "know better" by now, but I'd argue we should "know better," too.

The fact remains that we are all led by corrupt, egotistical, fucks. Humans, Kayeen, Naigaje, and Ba'alaket alike.

My respect and prayers go out to any individual who realizes this, but I cannot find any space in my heart for one whole species above another.

And, unfortunately, those individuals who have awoken to the truths of the universe are few and far between.

As such, when forced to look at each species in totality, they're all deserving of damnation.

What makes them any more worthy of forgiveness than us?

Would we be forgiving and benevolent, or murderous and vengeful once the truth of our history comes out?

To answer this, one just has to take a quick look at what humans do to one another.

I want answers. I want truth. I want transparency, and the information made available to me to discern, on my own, who is friend and who is foe.

But I do not, for one second, place any trust in the hope of humanity as a whole to do what is right and just.

Humanity will be angry. Humanity will want to retaliate and seek vengeance. The problem will lie in the same mistake humans always make - they will infallibly direct their ire and contempt in the wrong direction.

We are no different than them, and our evolution into the same monsters they have become is inevitable. In fact, I'd argue it is already complete.

It's the same cycle, over and over, playing out time and time again across this universe.

Unending.

Unerring.

As above, so below.

And I'd be fine if every damn person got shoved off this fucked up merry-go-round.

And every little faction would be scrambling to convince humanity that their vision for us was best.

I'd trust, say, a lone Ba'alaket popping out from the shadows of a dark alley asking "Hey, kid - you wanna make a quick buck?" before I'd trust a globally broadcast one spouting out a pre-written speech.

I mean on a global scale.

If worldwide full disclosure happened next Tuesday, it would mean shit had really hit the fan.

Be careful what you wish for.

If you woke to see countless ships in the sky, a random Ba'alaket shopping at your local Asian supermarket, and some Kayeen just casually being interviewed on CNN, it'd mean that shit had just gotten real bad.

"Get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned [because we don't have the balls to tell you how unprepared we are and how fucked you will be]."

I grew up in an area with a large Eastern European immigrant population. This was a pretty well-known fact.

All of my friends from former Eastern Bloc countries had an understandable distrust of Russia and Russians, and a keen awareness that governmental corruption and deceit had extended into (and was still pervasive) in the Ukraine.

On the other hand, all my born-and-bred American friends didn't know jack shit about Ukrainian politics until 6 months ago, so it has been very easy for them to jump on the "Russia bad/Ukraine good" bandwagon.

Merry Christmas to all - human and otherwise.

I pray for all to be surrounded and embraced by the warmth and light of the Almighty. I pray for the souls who have fallen asleep in their faith to remember that He sent a Son to this world to teach forgiveness and mercy. It is a lesson He left for all of us who have found ourselves entangled in the goings-on of this world.

May God bless every single facet of His Creation, however small or mighty.

Ain't that the truth...

It certainly does seem that TPTB have upped the ante, so to speak - which, to me, says they feel very threatened by something.

Oh, he certainly has put a big target on his own back - which is why I can't completely write him off over just Neuralink.

I like when powerful people piss off the DS.

The enemy of my enemy, you know?

To the moon, apes (literally)! 🚀

What on earth are you on about now?

In even the darkest things, there can be found light - and even death brings forth new life.

Bear in mind, this sub is separate from r/reptiliandude.

The content is different. The focus here is on current events and how they fit into what RD exposed on the original sub during the audits.

And what is with this obsession with old members? Who isn't "calling back?" What are you looking for?

If you think u/garbotalk, of all people, doesn't understand RD's multiple angles, I don't know what to tell you.

What exactly are you trying to prove here?

His actions have cleared a path for good things to happen. This does not mean Musk is good, per se, but that he can be a potential tool for good.

I agree with your refusal to condemn him.

I can condemn Neuralink without completely demonizing the man behind it.

And writing off Musk for some unsavory ideas is the exact same nonsense people try to pull when trying to "cancel" the Founding Fathers for slave ownership.

Life and people are so rarely black and white. Reality is varying shades of gray.

Edit: Musk is also interested in bringing Fauci to justice, so there's that...

Which is the same place my Catholic apologetics come from. ;)

You cited the Book of Concord's definition of the Pope, though. Nowhere in the Catechism of the Catholic Church does it say that the Pope has "authority also of bestowing and removing kingdoms," nor that the belief in this is "necessary for salvation."

I won't disagree that there have been men who have abused the position they've held as Pope, and left indelible scars on human history. But this applies to men who have not carried this title, as well.

Quantitatively, the RCC has done as much "Evil" as any other powerful institution of Man on this world - but, conversely, no other has matched it in the amount of "Good" it has accomplished.

I don't agree with the RCC on many, many points - but I'll defend Her for the net positive effect She's had on Western Civilization.

But, alas, I'm not really here to debate the finer points of Christian theology on this particular thread. I'll agree to disagree for now.

Sometimes, unsavory people are needed to get the job done.

"All my friends are heathens - take it slow."

That's 5 distasteful Popes out of... how many?

I'm not here to absolve the Church Magisterium of all wrongdoing, but you have to admit that the promulgation of this idea that Catholics are "Satanists" is a little silly.

Peter felt unworthy of being crucified in the same manner as Christ had been - so his cross was inverted. Ignoring your personal feelings regarding the Church's history, you have to admit this can easily be seen as an act of humility.

And aside from things like the Crusades and how they handled the whole Luther situation, the Church has been and still remains one of the largest forces of Good that this planet has ever seen.

"Meanginful" is such a subjective term, love.

And, apparently if it's not "meaningful" to you, I get invited to leave.

I don't accept whatever "terms" you think you may have laid out in your incoherent ramblings.

So, go ahead. Silence the dissenters. It's a good look on you.

No one here seems to take that seriously.

Here? In this sub? You're joking - right?

No one here is denying that there is fuckery afoot. Even to your example, the majority consensus was not "Oh, RD, you're so full of shit" when he spoke about China.

The main subject of this entire subreddit is the sabotaging of the human race.

I'm not saying you're wrong...

But I am saying that the lack of, um, professionalism around these parts as of late is having a deleterious effect on the message.

Truth is truth, sure - but it hits different when presented with poise and acumen, rather than in a manner befitting Joel Osteen or some crazy-eyed, unwashed vagrant passing out pamphlets on a street corner in Manhattan.

Real evil can be something that is right in front of you and you would never know it was even there.

Except Elon Musk is right in front of us, and everyone knows he's there. No one thinks Musk is some Messiah come to save humanity. I haven't met a soul that doesn't view him with some level of suspicion.

Perhaps it is not the truth tailored for every mind and spirit.

So, yes - it pretty much is tailored to every mind. You haven't brought any great, revelatory truth to the table by proclaiming that a man that nobody trusts might be up to something untoward.

Singling out Musk as The Great Evil is also an extremely myopic take, especially when there are many greater threats at play. The ones pulling the strings stay as hidden as they are able.

This is a weird hill to die on, brother.

And how is that not a good thing?

Musk might settle for a figurative check if he was made to understand the different forms "wealth" can take.

His interests are:
1. amassing wealth
2. merciless trolling

At this point, we just have to hope those with humanity's best interests at heart appear before him with a blank check and a good sense of humor.

Do you believe that what he's exposed should have remained hidden?

99% of US politicians aren't loyal to the United States.

Sure, Elon may serve the global hegemony and our plucky Consortium overlords, but so do our own fucking leaders.

I don't view Musk as some "savior of the people," but am I to praise those who have befriended the US government?

Ah, St. Peter's Cross...

... associated with "the satanic" only due to Protestant declarations of the Pope as the Antichrist.

The old, loveable, town fool of bygone days.

Perhaps I'm showing my age, but TIL you can use QR codes to pay for things.

This is called a "circling possession seizure," and is common in epileptics and people with deep brain injuries, tumors, etc.

I have a pathologist friend who can confirm that the prevalence of amyloid fibrin clots that he's been finding in decedents over the past year is astounding.

The information presented in this documentary is chilling.

The problem, however, is that the film risks discrediting itself by immediately making connections to the more conspiratorial aspects of the mass rollout of the shots, and completely ignoring the role both reigning political parties played in this situation. It makes the film easy to brush off as "right wing conspiracy garbage," which is unfortunate.

For people on the fence, that angle is going to lose them. Quickly.

Had they begun with a strictly data- and evidence-based approach, it would have better served to sway the fencesitters. Linking the shot rollout to a grander scheme could have been accomplished in a subsequent film release.

A Midwestern Doctor does a great breakdown of this on their substack, which can be found here. They go into why these amyloid fibrin clots (which are a result of the spike protein) are more liable to form in those who have received the shots vs. those who have just had Covid-19.

Indeed. ;)

Austrians have not yet devolved into pusillanimous Feiglinge that their German neighbors have.

They took the plots of Brave New World and 1984, and combined them into an instruction manual.

Why, thank you!

Of course they must be forgiven. We always forgive children when they make mistakes, and the Consortium has proven itself to be full of nothing but a bunch of tantrum-throwing children who hoard all the toys and bully the other kids.

I understand that and don't disagree.

I'm also aware that a good number of folks who were on the fence regarding abolition were incentivized or shamed into taking an anti-slavery stance. They were not the folks who were convinced by saccharine pleas to "do the right thing."

You're missing the point of my playing devil's advocate with the person I responded to.

You're talking about a lot of extraterrestrials that don't necessarily care about "forgiveness."

The person I responded to offered only a feel-good plea of "Please be nice and play fair with us, you mean ol' aliens!" Do they think the Consortium, or individuals of Consortium species are just going to read that, throw their hands up, and say "Gosh darn it! You're RIGHT! We're so sorry for this little mix-up!"

No.

They're asking people to stand up against their own, and not really offering a compelling incentive to do so.

Let me play devil's advocate here for a moment...

You're pleading for Ba'alaket and Naigaje support, but what's in it for them?

I'd like to offer a bit of a different perspective for those extraterrestrials on the fence and leaning toward the "Fuck these stupid monkeys" side of the argument. 

To the non-humans reading this: 

I am a human. I do not like humans. 

I am not filled with any sense of camaraderie toward my fellow Man, and I feel no deeper a sense of love toward Humanity than I do for any of the other myriad creatures on this planet (or beyond it). 

I have no compulsion to "stand with humanity." 

I do not "weep for the children." 

My experiences with the people I've met throughout my life have led me to believe that the vast majority of humans are merely trying to survive. These are the masses who, when backed into a corner, will react on an animalistic instinct of self-preservation. When faced with a threat, the primitive brain will momentarily take over, and give way to violence and mob mentality. 

But one thing I can do, despite my reservations about the human race, is objectively appreciate the special moments of ingenuity, temerity, blind optimism, and an underdog nature of a species. It is hard to deny how many times Humanity has come face-to-face with disaster and near total annihilation, only to pull through by the seat of their collective pants. 

These moments are led by the brave and the wise minority. Those special few who have found themselves in this minority are able to sift through their instincts of "panic," "run," "fight," or "kill," and find themselves able to react with the reason and poise necessary to assuage the fears of the masses and inspire them to act righteously. 

There is also another minority at play, acting as a foil to the aforementioned one. These are sociopaths bent on the exploitation of the "stupid sheeple," and they are unfortunately professionals at the manipulation of the pure-intentioned. 

So, all I can do is judge the actions of the individuals I have encountered throughout my life. Has this person acted with compassion? - or malice? Have they been fair? - or unjust? Do they speak truth? - or do they decieve? Do they lead by example? - or are they hypocrites? 

That said, how can I look at a single sentient species and cast a sweeping judgment of "good" or "evil" on them as a whole - human or otherwise? I see a majority just trying to get by, with an "awoken" minority duking it out for control in the eternal battle of "good vs. evil." 

When I say I am filled with no desire to stand in solidarity with the human race, know that this sentiment extends beyond my own kind. 

Look in a mirror, and then try to convince me you are any different than us. Tell me every Ba'alaket knows exactly what is going on here, instead of trusting a few talking heads at the top telling them everything is above board. Tell me every Naigaje is totally aware of the situation, rather than just allowing their intergalactic dignitaries to "handle that shit." (I'd ask what the Kayeen may think, but I don't think they're allowed to do that.) 

So, that leaves me - and you - with two options: 

1. We aren't that different than you. We've got our leaders lying to us, hiding things from us, and exploiting us for their own personal gain. If this is true, humanity deserves an equal voice. 

Or:

2. We are different from you. This would mean every single member of every Consortium species knows what's going on here, and is absolutely a-o-fucking-k with it. If this is true, it is arguable that, despite its aforementioned flaws, Humanity is the more noble species, and it is you who does not deserve a voice.

One doesn't have to stand in solidarity with an entire species just to know what the right and ethical thing to do is, and it is up to every single individual in this universe to choose whether or not they will follow the path of "Good" or "Evil" - and it's pretty damned easy to see which option is which here.

One thing that stuck out throughout the entirety of this speech is exactly who Putin has declared the enemy: Western elites.

Not Western citizens.

Elites.

This is a man who understands exactly what the fuck is going on.

And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch and cries "Treason!" at my words:

I believe in the values on which the United States was founded.

I believe in freedom of speech.

I believe in individual liberty.

I believe in our God-given rights to pursue happiness and prosperity.

But that is not the America of today.

I am under no illusion that those who we have allowed to come to power have not been systematically eroding our freedoms to create dependent, complacent, chattle.

I don't have to "support" Putin to recognize the truth in his words: The powers of the Western world have created a rapacious oligarchy hell-bent on a disenfranchised and subservient citizenry.

And I'd imagine this is exactly how the Consortium wants things.

It's much easier to get a few dogs to control the herd than to try and round up the cows yourself. And this is all Western leaders are - herding dogs nipping at our ankles, keeping us in line, just to get a conciliatory pat on the head and be told what a "good boy" they are.

They just haven't yet realized the rancher will be quick to put a bullet in their heads when they've outlasted their usefulness.

Wait... so all we've gotta do to get you to tear yourself away from your busy life and pay attention to us is spew nonsense?

😈

Of course. You can't give the cows they keys to unlock the slaughterhouse door.

I know kicking is hard, but I support your path to sobriety. #ThoughtsAndPrayers #EatLovePray #Blessed #MeToo

See, what you gotta do is this:

Step 1: Steal every single nuclear warhead on Earth.

Step 2: Launch each one, successively, in the order of the Fibonacci Sequence toward Sagittarius.

Step 3: Profit.

I think it definitely fits the definition of a meme. It's a snippet of culturally relevant information in an easily shareable format.

Either way, an individual's freedom ends where another's begins.

The water in Chicago is also not safe to drink. This came out years ago, got a quick blurb on the local news, got quickly brushed under the rug, and everyone went back to drinking the water anyway.

Flint and Jackson pale in comparison to the millions of Chicago residents currently drinking non-potable water every day.

But nothing is said. Nothing is done. Because then someone might actually have to do something about it.

Flint and Jackson are just the right-sized crisis to keep the leadbrains feeling and voting a certain way. And while nothing substantial will ever be done to correct the issue, the casualties will be low enough that the rest of the country will collectively shrug, and move on to whatever nonsense the news is instructing them to obsess over today.

I like the version of this where it is just that same picture, with the caption of "BE UNGOVERNABLE."

The version you and my "blue no matter who" in-laws have posted over and over on their Facebook feeds is better suited for r/ theleftcantmeme.

1. Miss taking a shit on the roofs of cars?

2. Please don't give the Californians any more ideas for "reassignment surgery."

My favorite irony is that they are no different than us.

They exhibit the same hubris, narcissism, and self-destructive behavior as humans.

What a shame to have millions of years of evolution and technology under your belt, only to still act like a fucking child - throwing tantrums, pulling the dog's tail, and breaking the toys you stole from the other kids on the playground.

The only thing we can really do is pity the pathetic creatures they are. 😆

I agree, to an extent - but it isn't going to stop me from calling out the bullshit I see while I'm here.

The Kayeen, Ba'alaket, Naigaje, and others are still Children of God. Misbehaving children, at that.

But how do you identify? 😆

Picture that iconic scene from Say Anything, but instead of John Cusack blasting "In Your Eyes" through Ione Skye's window, it's RD blasting "Hooker With A Penis" at TPTB.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. - a holding company based in suburban Chicago that owns Walgreens, Boots, and various pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution companies.

Sounds like there would be grounds to unctuously claim she is endangering my safety!

So then, say what you mean to say.

Your attempt to be cryptic and vague is failing you.

Yes, RD often speaks in "code," but there is meaning to be found in his words.

You, however, are saying nothing.

And, you see - this irks me, because you've caught me in a mood today. Your abject failure to answer my questions has robbed me of the opportunity to tear your argument apart limb from limb, and I don't like having things taken from me.

No.

What has this got to do with Garbotalk?

Whoever answers the Beacon shall be the representative of the people of this planet.

I'd like that to be the nation that once stood for liberty and modernity, but the state of the US right now leaves a lot to be desired. I, for one, welcome RD's push to get this country back to a state of being worthy to answer that call.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

It is a public forum.

It amazes me how one can use so many words to say so little. I'd expect you, of all people, to be a little more upfront and direct.

Care to elaborate?

He eats, shits, breathes, and bleeds like a human - and is under no illusion of what he truly is. What more would you like?

Quit horsing around!

Numbers and data aside, I have never known so many (otherwise healthy) people in my life to suddenly have heart, lung, and kidney issues as I do now.

I understand every medical procedure or drug comes with a certain level of risk, and that every now and then someone is going to experience a complication. But I now personally know 4 people who have had horrible complications shortly after receiving the shot - only 2 of whom admit it must have been related to the shot - and 5th person who has developed a type of cancer that is extremely rare for their demographic.

People may shit all over "anecdotal evidence," but all data starts as anecdotal observation at some point.

The cognitive dissonance surrounding these injections is just absolutely fucking baffling to me.

Maybe I'm dating myself, here, but: bear

I'm still waiting for someone to complain that the Chicago Bears are offensive to burly gay men.

My first thought was that this also works as "If Babcia had been in charge of the Last Supper." 😆 (Especially with all those cold cuts, sausages, and cucumbers I'm seeing.)

Grandma's wondering "Where's the beef?"

Oh, I'm the troublemaker? Riiight... 🤣

Whose ring? 😆

Sure it does - on so many levels.

lol

Unless "bassooning" is just the officially accepted medical term for playing an instrument into a person's ass, regardless of the instrument. I'd accept that.

But that's a French horn.

I was speaking to the person I was responding to.

It is "our" business, as in, it is hers and mine - as well as society's.

Because humans have successfully demonstrated over the past 2 years that they are very willing to sacrifice their childrens' livelihoods and well-being in the name of self-preservation and enrichment.

I'd wager it can't happen at a federal level, and should remain a decision left up to the states.

The irony here is that the ones who are afraid to admit that abortion is the termination of a life are not the ones afraid of "making God mad."

Wow.

I must say, that was unexpected... after I spent hours espousing a nuanced take on the issue, and criticizing the "side-ism" surrounding it.

Have you actually read anything I've written in this thread? 🤣

You assume much.

I'm not trying to convince you that I'm anything.

Nor have I invested in you enough to either like or dislike you. Rather, I have no feelings about you, whatsoever. I don't know you.

"Amen and Awomen!" 🤣

I'm not arguing with you about how I personally feel about abortions. (Although, if "awareness" is the cut-off you're comfortable with, it sounds like you're an advocate for postnatal termination - which I find reprehensible.) I'm arguing about how they should be dealt with legally. So, I don't know why you keep throwing your own justifications for the practice in my direction.

But yes, the taking of a life is our business.

It is not the federal government's business to do anything outside of the powers granted to it by the Constitution.

One thing very obviously absent from Constitutional purview is when it's ok to kill a human. This is why every state has its own laws regarding corporal punishment. Abortion is no different.

The justification for taking a life is nuanced and personal. This country is full of very different geographic regions and very different people, all with their own very different thoughts and feelings. This is why the Founding Fathers tossed power to the states. What works in NY doesn't necessarily work in TX. And neither of those states should have to bend to the will of the other.

If the majority of citizens in a state believe that the termination of a fetal life is abhorrent and never justifiable, they should be able to legislate accordingly. And, conversely, if the majority of citizens in a state believe that the termination of a fetal life is justifiable in some cases, they should be able to legislate accordingly.

And this applies to innumerable issues that are not outlined in the Constitution.

The beautiful thing is that the Constitution guarantees free and open trade and travel between states. No one is losing access to abortions.

Divided? Please elaborate.

You do realize that this was a rare instance of the federal government removing itself from your business, right?

Or do you need help wiping, too?

I've been successfully avoiding this topic since the news about Roe v. Wade dropped... and you just had to go and get me all riled up, didn't you?

I am so sick and tired of all the koala-brained excuses for humans parading around the internet parroting stupid catchphrases, while refusing to look at the reality of any given situation. And this issue has really driven home for me how utterly hypocritical and incapable of critical thinking most people are.

Even in this very thread, there a people blindly declaring "I'm pro-life!" or "I'm pro-choice!" with some pitiful semblance of a regurgitated explanation they got from some talking head who told them to think that way.

Life begins at conception. Period. If you can't see how this is even biologically true, may I suggest removing your head from your rectum and perusing a Bio 101 textbook.

The Left has clung on to its desperate obfuscation of this fact for decades now, despite being the "side" that claims a supposed monopoly on science, education, and "reason." Even the period of "fetal viability" referenced in Roe v. Wade is not applicable today. What happens to those "educated liberals" when the science tells them something they don't want to hear? They thrust their fingers in their ears and screech, "Nyah nyah nyah! I'm not listening! MY BODY, MY CHOICE! GIMME!"

That said, if you can see no justification for the elimination of a life, you've been equally duped. The same Right Wingers standing outside abortion clinics with signs of mutilated fetuses shouting "MURDERER!" at every girl that walks in are the same folk who'll fight tooth and nail to get Castle Doctrine laws passed in their state.

If you believe that you have the right and responsibility to shoot and kill a man who is breaking into your home in order to protect the safety, security, and well-being of your family, how could you not apply that very logic to something that is, essentially, a parasite growing in another human being?

If I can reasonably demonstrate that this child came into being through unwanted means, and/or a continuation of its life would cause an undue hardship that would result in a severely stunted quality of life for that child, how is it not merciful and just to abort?

If you cannot see how the overturning of a shitty ruling that was shakily propped up on the 14th Amendment is a gigantic win for everybody, it's time for you to reexamine what you thought you knew. And if you are pleased with the SCOTUS decision, I implore you to do the same - because chances are you're happy for the wrong reasons.

Oooh... so states should have the right to decide these highly nuanced matters?

(Shh... nobody tell this guy what the reversal of Roe V. Wade does...)

Sound familiar?

Oooh! Oooh! I know this one! The Branch Covidians!

My bet is on the latter.

whoosh

Why are you grabbing leaves?

I go back and forth on this, as well. The only reason I lean toward placing more of the blame on our leaders is because a lot of the apathy of the general public has been manufactured, or at least steered, by them.

My mantilla, however, is securely fastened.

Rogan isn't on YouTube anymore.

A Gabbard/Paul ticket would be most excellent.

It isn't a "comfortable belief." It's an awareness, and it certainly isn't always comfortable.

We were very clearly coached on the rules if the game some 2000 years ago.

And measuring "goodness" against "stupidity" is a supremely naïve view. I'd argue that a good percentage of the most evil people to walk this earth were extremely intelligent, and most of the "dumb" folk i run into have a better moral compass than their better-educated counterparts.

Seriously. And the people are just utterly clueless, and say embroiled in partisan bread-and-circus nonsense.

And who helped convince them of that, hmmm?

Meine Ohren verzeihen dir nicht.

The "universe" certainly cares. We will be judged for our actions and choices.

Nothing in the world is black and white, and sometimes lies are required in the pursuit of ultimate truth. Hence why I said I'd have a "hard" time, not an "impossible" time, thinking of a situation where honesty isn't the best policy. I'd personally defer to Love when it isn't clear if Truth is the right path in a specific situation.

I'm past a stage in my life where I enjoy philosophical rabbit holes, though. I like to boil life down to acting with common sense, general honesty, and the rule "Don't be a dick." We were gifted a conscience, and I don't have much patience for people claiming ignorance of what's obviously right or wrong.

Excellent! I care about honesty as well. If you are so inclined, may I ask why you care about honesty and how you care to define it?

It's kind of an interesting word. Honesty necessitates sincerity, yet connotates that one is being truthful to some degree.

I'm pretty satisfied with how Merriam-Webster has defined it:

hon·​es·​ty | \ ˈä-nə-stē

1. a: adherence to the facts : SINCERITY
   b: fairness and straightforwardness of conduct
2. any of a genus (Lunaria) of European herbs of the mustard family with toothed leaves and flat disk-shaped siliques

I have a hard time thinking of any situation in which the first definition wouldn't result in the most favorable outcome, and I am also a huge fan of brassicas, the color purple, and ornamental seed pods.

I would agree that truthfulness precedes honesty, and have always held "Truth" in high regard. It's up there with "Love" for me, and firmly believe that the pursuit of both will bring any individual or community closer to harmony and God.

Throughout human history, the pursuit of knowledge has uncovered some of life's greatest mysteries. In contrast, lies and deception have only served to inhibit growth. Therefore, I will always resolutely stand on the side of Truth, honesty, integrity, and sincerity.

That said, there is a difference between "Oh, damn, yeah... those jeans do make your ass look huge!" and "Yeah, those jeans are ok, but I think another pair would look better." The application of honesty can (and sometimes should) be tweaked without sacrificing the integrity of a statement.

​

To what degree do you think one is capable of being honest with oneself?

In this life, I don't think we ever can be completely honest with ourselves.

Self-awareness is an incredibly hard skill to develop. It takes a practiced ability to look at oneself from outside of oneself. This is easier said than done, as we are inherently designed for self-interest and self-preservation. The human brain doesn't want to allow itself to believe it could ever possibly have lied to itself.

A sense of self-awareness is also cultivated through an understanding of how other people react to you. If one person calls you a cantankerous, smelly, old bitch, so be it. But if there's a trend of such an accusation, you're probably a cantankerous, smelly, old bitch.

Only through being able to look at ourselves after stripping ourselves of Ego, and analyzing how the world has interacted with our presence, can we get anywhere close to being as self-aware as we're gonna get in these short lives.

It ain't easy work, but it's honest work. ;)

Honesty.

Now that's something I care about.

What argument, though? The argument that Metallica sucks? I wasn't arguing that. Like I said, I don't really care to argue it because 1. As stated previously - and I can't stress this enough - it matters so little to me; and 2. It's an opinion regarding personal preference. I know, deep in my heart, that New Wave is nothing but over-produced, talentless, drivel... but it will never change the fact that it warms my heart when I hear a Tears for Fears song. The emotional component of a person's tastes just cannot be argued against, no matter how sound the reasoning may be.

That very "emotional component" is how the Left has "katamari damacy-ed" its screeching fan club over the past few decades, and a its a tactic the Right has now begun to employ as well.

Also... I never claimed to be intelligent.

I know what the purpose of argumentation is, but I'm not trying to argue or persuade you that Metallica sucks. I made a simple, declarative, statement with nothing to back up my opinion because that's exactly how much care about the topic.

I'm not going to dignify you with a well thought-out persuasive essay on the issue to appease your "master teaches the student" fantasy, because my feelings on the matter are worth exactly the two whole words I already gave it.

Metallica is generic and over-produced. The whole genre is a shitty bastardization of the great music it stemmed from. At the risk of sounding like an old fart, there is no art to their music - just noise.

But... that's just opinion, and I'll likely never change your mind.

And no, I'm absolutely not saying Metallica sucks more than reddit. One, they're not comparable media. Two, reddit (and social media in general) is a festering cesspit of the detritus that the human ego spews out at its fellow Man when it thinks it's protected by anonymity.

10,000 years from now when they open my sarcophagus and put me in a museum, they will surely label the exhibit as "Mummified human remains (gender unassumed), 2069 CE, Amarna". /s

Well, it's not like they're biologists... XD

Well, it's also a way to weed out bots and find out who's actually thinking versus who is just parroting something they heard or read.

Weeding out, apparently, members who have been posting here for years now.

I'm fucking tired of people blaming Trump. It's so fucking lazy and counter-productive to thought, taunting and mocking is all I have the patience for anymore.

Why can't we blame Trump for anything? To not be able to look at a leader in an unbiased fashion is extremely partisan, which is the point I believe Luce was trying to make.

Like, if I'm engaging with someone about what's wrong with the state of politics or the world, I don't want to start the conversation with Trump and pretend if we could only get rid of this one guy, things would be so much better.

You were the one who brought up Trump in the first place...

I'm on mobile, and can't be assed to reference the whole exchange, but I don't recall Luce blaming Trump for anything more than what he legitimately feels Trump is guilty of. He didn't pin all the world's problems on the man, and explicitly stated equal disdain for America's politicians.

Replace your initial "Trump" with "Pelosi." Has the possibility crossed your mind he would have responded the same way? Or have you made assumptions?

It's like taking your 11 year old little sister to a Metallica concert and they start trying to lecture you that the song "One" is really about what the world would be like if Trump was in power.

Metallica sucks.

How else can I respond?

I don't click on links from strangers on the internet.

Ah, yes. Taunting: my favorite method to use on my students. Works like a charm.

Mock me? What the hell did I do?! 😆
