If our current “elites” were Lizard Aliens, bent on destroying us before we move off planet, what would they be doing differently?

Go on. Think about it. I’ll wait.

Bet you that you didn’t come up with anything. Or at least anything that doesn’t go “But then again.”

Oh, you might have come up with some reason they’re not lizards. The lizard is there for funsies. They seem very upset about a warming world, so perhaps they’re ice moles or something. All the same —

It is not my point to argue that our self-proclaimed better are aliens. I mean, sometimes I look at it and go “Whoa, what are the chances they wouldn’t do something beneficial to humans at least once, by accident?” But then again, you know? That’s like Biden never hires anyone who doesn’t turn out to be — literally — some form of criminal loon. Not on purpose (probably) but because of the water he swims in and what he is. So, it’s entirely possible the “elites” are just human haters without being aliens. Which is far less fun. But more likely. Though I think the time for “far fetched conspiracy theory” to become “Absolutely reality” is now three days or less.

Anyvay…. moving right along, the place where “they’re aliens and trying to exterminate us” is most obvious is the proliferation of genders.

Long discussion follows, mostly what one would expect from Sarah & commenters, but I likes this observation:

“I suppose Uncle Screwtape can look like a lizard if he wants to.”

Even C. S. Lewis would have trouble writing an updated version of “The Screwtape Letters” today.

OK.

But you were the one who linked Avi Loeb as a “well known and highly credentialed Harvard Astronomer.”

“Not a saint” covers a lot of ground including self-aggrandizing player posing as Galileo being persecuted by the Vatican.

As A. Collier points out, if you are the Head of the Harvard Astronomy Dept, you are not a feisty outsider challenging the Establishment. You are the Establishment.

It reminds me of Michelle Obama’s self-serving claim that they were Speaking Truth to Power.

Spare me.

So, I’m not expecting someone who has risen to become the head of a department at Harvard to be anything but someone who is very adept at those politics, and not a saint.

acollierastro posted a takedown of Avi Loeb as something of a crackpot or at least a cynical scientist who plays the game well.

She compares him unfavorably to Luis Alvarez who, among other things, won a Nobel Prize and later led the way to the asteroid collision theory of dinosaur extinction.

A. Collier is persuasive.

However, she doesn’t come to terms with the fact that Loeb is not just some common garden-variety crackpot with a perpetual motion machine, but a scientist who scaled the heights of academia to become the head of the Harvard Astronomy Dept., a position presumably coveted by anyone with a Ph.D in astronomy.

It seems academia is rife with people who climb to the top with little commitment to truth and fair play.

Here is a compilation of followup material from NewsNation, out today, about the claims of AF Intelligence official David Grusch regarding UFOs, this compilation including the words of former Astronauts, and particularly a long section featuring former Astronaut Edgar Mitchell (one I’ve never seen before), as he very calmly and at some length confirms the situation with regards to UFOs as being just as Grusch is saying it is.*

37 counts, 31 on the virtually unenforceable Wilson Era Espionage Act! are in the unsealed Trump indictment.

Today, Rachel Madow on MSNBC has now endorsed a One Party America. Seriously. No joke. (Albeit, not in these words.)

Yes.
