The Election & UFOs
So- why Harris and Trump as grey aliens in a mock-up of the famous 1930 painting of an Iowan farmhouse scene called American Gothic? Well, as George Lucas says, sometimes an artist does things out of whimsy.
Given the gravity of this election, whimsy seemed an appropriate counterpoint here. And it’s Halloween.
I hesitate to open-up this can of worms, but the UFO phenomenon, like any other subject, is not immune from politics. With The Election right around the corner, I can’t help but throw another monkey wrench into the Rube Goldberg election machinery we call American Democracy- as if it ever really has been (see: gerrymandering, voter suppression, dirty tricks, the electoral college, etc.).
That said- the really shocking thing for me about the last election is how many people believe it was stolen regardless of the glaring absence of evidence. I’ve heard a lot of very strident rhetoric about “massive voter fraud,” but I’ve never seen any evidence of it. If you follow up by investigating the claims, they evaporate rather quickly.
In fact, Trump’s lawyers never argued voter fraud in court because they had no evidence to present. Instead, they argued that changes made to the election process in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic in various states were illegal. They were wrong. They lost. It seems like the election deniers don’t know this or, maybe, don’t want to know.
There’s an old saying often applied to the UFO phenomenon – most notably by the late astronomer Carl Sagan – that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Here we have an extraordinary claim that the election was stolen without any evidence to back up the claim. None. Zip. Nada.
The really scary thing about this is the millions of people who accept the claim that the election was stolen as a cold, hard, fact, taking the existence of evidence a matter of faith- something they believe exists even if they can’t see it. Sorta like God I guess.
Here’s a cold, hard fact- if there was any evidence of massive voter fraud on a scale large enough to change the outcome of the election Trump’s lawyers would have laid it out for the courts like a pro poker player who goes all-in with the nuts.
Trump and his lawyers don’t show down their cards because they don’t have any. It’s all a bluff.
I’m not going to go into it all here in this blog – because it’s not the point of this post – but the guy’s whole life is smoke and mirrors. I’ll say this- he does have a superpower. He’s the world’s greatest conman. I mean, it’s just breathtaking if you really look at it. He’s the Tom Brady of Bernie Madoffs.
Here’s the thing- I’m not on the red team or the blue team for a lot of reasons, but I think the biggest one is that I think rigid ideology of any kind is a mistake in an ever-evolving environment, which is what we deal here in Reality.
As science writer Isaac Asimov said, “Life is paradox: the only constant is change.”
This election is a paradox. There’s the Big Issues of the day in normal times- the economy, immigration, abortion rights, but these aren’t normal times. It’s bigger than that. It’s Democracy vs. Dictatorship. But it’s even bigger than that. Ultimately, it’s about Reality vs. Unreality.
Consider some recent events.
In Unreality, according to Trump/Magaland, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) doesn’t have disaster relief funds for victims of recent hurricanes Helene and Milton because it spent all its money on housing for illegal migrants so they’ll vote democrat in the upcoming election.
In Reality, FEMA never spent money on housing illegal immigrants who are ineligible to vote in the election anyway. In Reality, disaster relief is ongoing pretty much as it always has.
In Reality, Republicans like Georgia Governor Brian Kemp had to publicly refute that claim, saying that Biden had offered to provide Georgia with anything it needs, adding about FEMA, “We’ve got a great relationship with them.”
In Unreality, Trump repeats his bogus claims in media interviews and in Town Halls even after they’ve been debunked. In MAGAland, this is somehow a signal that the bogus stories must be true, because Trump keeps repeating them. To the true believers, it also implies that everyone saying otherwise is lying in a conspiracy against Trump.
In Unreality, two monster hurricanes coming back-to-back just two weeks apart was not a result of the climate crisis. No, the storms were caused by a secret weather machine wielded by the infamous terrorist group known as “They.”
In Reality, insurance is becoming astronomically expensive for those that can even get it in these areas – and others – in high climate risk environments. Insurance companies have been dealing with the reality of the climate crisis for decades. They know the score.
In Unreality, you only need three syllables to deal with climate change- it’s a hoax!
There’s a problem with that approach though. As Ayn Rand, of all people, once said, “You can avoid reality, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”
In this case, the consequence for avoiding the reality of climate change is the slow-motion deterioration of civilization, as we know it, thanks to more and more extreme weather.
In this case, it means watching helplessly as things go up in smoke and turn to ash, as cities and towns turn to rubble and wreckage, becoming increasingly submerged in floodwaters. Unable to be rebuilt by insurance companies or governments…
In Unreality, rising sea levels somehow mean more beachfront property. Seriously. That’s what Trump said at one of his rallies– “You’ll have more seafront property, right, if that happens. I said, is that good or bad? I said, isn’t that a good thing? If I have a little property on the ocean, I have a little bit more property—I have a little bit more ocean.”
So, the Statue of Liberty won’t be knee deep in the ocean like in the movies AI and The Day After Tomorrow. No, somehow Lady Liberty will end up with more island?
Yeah, that’s about where we’re at with Unreality.
The myth about Trump has deep roots. The main reason his followers believe he is a “super-successful businessman” is how he was portrayed on his reality TV show The Apprentice. What most people don’t realize is that Reality TV is anything but- especially The Apprentice.
Last week, former NBC chief marketing officer John Miller wrote “I want to apologize to America. I helped create a monster,” in an op-ed published by the U.S. News & World Report. Miller confessed that promoting Trump as a ”business-savvy boss” was “a false narrative” that was “highly exaggerated.” He noted that Trump businesses ended up going bankrupt, you know, six times.
The Trump Tower boardroom in The Apprentice was a metaphor for the illusion, according to Miller. It was a set created for the show because the real Trump Tower boardroom was “too old and shabby for TV.”
Former producer Bill Pruitt echoed Miller’s sentiment, “We played fast and loose with the facts, particularly regarding Trump, and if you were one of the 28 million who tuned in, chances are you were conned.”
In the final analysis, Miller said, “If you believe that Trump will be better for you or better for the country, that is an illusion, much like “The Apprentice’ was.”
So, to sum up, this election is about the economy and women’s health/abortion rights and immigration reform to a degree – but since Trump promised to be a dictator on day one, it’s really about Democracy versus Dictatorship – and ultimately, at the most basic level, it comes down to Reality versus Unreality.
Unfortunately, quite a significant portion of the population prefers Unreality regardless of the facts. They want Unreality to be Reality.
The mainstream media says things could go either way – and it could – which could be huge regarding the big, grey elephant in the room- UFO Disclosure.
UFOs, Elections and Trump/Harris
Ironically, UFOs are one thing that has eroded trust in government as much or more than anything else. A large portion of the population rightfully believes the government has been lying to them about UFOs for over 70 years, attempting to laugh it off as all a big joke. But the times, as they say, are a changin.’
UFOs have been a “semi- serious” part of the discussion the last several election cycles, dating back to 2007 when democratic candidate Dennis Kucinich was asked about UFOs by debate moderator Tim Russert after Shirley McClain outted Kucinich about his UFO sighting at her cabin in one of her books.
You could go even further back with Jimmy Carter and his Playboy interview in which he talks about his own UFO sighting during his presidential run.
In more recent history, George W. Bush promised that his VP nominee Dick Cheney would get right on it when pressed about UFOs during one of his campaigns. That was, of course, not true.
Hillary Clinton famously promoted UFO Disclosure in 2016 during her ill-fated campaign against Trump, and UFO Disclosure was the subject of some of the infamous “missing emails” published by Wikileaks that Trump asked Russia to find “if you’re listening,” during a presidential debate.
Obama dodged the issue to some extent during his campaign thanks to the 2008 financial crisis and the Trump insanity has pretty much kept the issue out of this election even though it’s hotter than ever. (See: whistleblowers, USAF Intelligence officer David Grusch, retired Army Col. Karl Nell)
Which brings us to now.
My personal opinion is that this whole Disclosure business could go sideways depending on what happens with the election.
It’s unclear what Harris knows about UFOs or where she is on the matter. She was a Senator and she is a sitting Vice President, so she should know something, but the subject hasn’t come up this cycle.
In general, democrats have been out of the loop on UFOs (Carter, Clinton) and seem less inclined to lean into the subject than republicans. UFOs receive much more coverage in right-wing media than it does in the center.
So, it’s not clear what form of Disclosure we’d get from a President Harris. My opinion is that she’d follow the lead of the Pentagon. At this point, it’s not clear what direction things would go, because it appears that once again there’s an internal battle between the “Silence Group versus the Censor Fighters.”
On the other hand – on the Unreality ticket – former president Donald Trump and his first administration left a trail of Reese’s Pieces that leads me to believe that he will side with the Silence Group, or in other words, the perpetuation of the UFO cover-up, should he once again take power, but there’s also a darker possibility.
Trump was in the oval office in 2017 when the New York Times broke the news that the Pentagon was dealing with real UFOs. Since then, he’s all over the place when it comes to the subject like he is with a lot of things. He’s hinted at what he knows about Roswell, all-the-while saying that, although he knows smart people who think UFOs are alien, he doesn’t buy it and really isn’t all that interested. “It’s not my thing,” he said.
So, there’s that, and then there’s this: The former head of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s space directorate Haim Eshed gave a newspaper interview in which he said believes that Trump knows UFOs are extraterrestrial.
So, who can tell how it will all shake out? Again, smoke and mirrors.
When it comes to the election, I think it all boils down to the Unreality ticket versus the alternative.
While it’s unclear how a Harris administration would handle the UFO issue, it seems a much better bet than a MAGA crowd that just makes stuff up out of thin air to support its positions (see: Trump said abortions can happen after birth in some states– which would, of course, be murder, if that were true).
I think that if Trump wins, or is otherwise installed regardless of the vote, anything could happen when it comes to UFO Disclosure- which is arguably the most important issue in history. As noted by Col. Karl Nell in his “Zero Doubt” speech at the recent SALT conference, human beings have a basic right to understand the fundamental nature of reality.
I think both candidates are susceptible to the military-industrial complex alien false flag attack plot warned about by Dr. Steven Greer, but especially Trump, given his well-documented xenophobia. If he’s biased against black and brown people coming here from other countries, it’s probably not going to take much to convince him that the little grey aliens are evil invaders from another planet.
Given the example of the totally made up story about Haitian immigrants eating people’s pet cats and dogs in Springfield Ohio, who knows what stories he’d make up about ET aliens.
I think Trump might say just about anything he considered expedient about the ET presence regardless of reality. And that’s a problem.
I think Reality versus Unreality is the ultimate choice in this election. I think it will be a bumpy ride whatever the outcome.
We had four years of the Trump Reality TV show just a few years ago and it promoted the false claim that the covid-19 virus was going to go away in a few days and disappear without consequence. Most of us understand how that went in Reality.
If we collectively choose Unreality yet again – and it might happen one way or another – who knows how wild things will get as a result of ignoring the consequences of ignoring Reality.
Stay tuned…
UPDATE: For what it’s worth, this blog post was made on October 31st at 5:59 PM pacific time (Halloween). I don’t understand why my website host lists this post as posted on Nov. 1? (are their servers in Europe or something) It’s still Halloween in California (9:54 PM) as I make this update. Strange. It’s Election Halloween I guess…
