Regarding whackness. Some might consider UFOs a bit whacky.

If it whalks like a duck. Whacks like a duck… You know the whest?

If it is just the three announced witnesses–while this Hearing may introduce their stories and information to a wider audience–absent major new information, this Hearing will be small potatoes.

A few weeks ago it was reported that there would likely be six witnesses, but then NASA pulled out, it was reported that DOD was putting a lot of pressure on potential witnesses not to testify, and we were told a day or so ago that there would only be three scheduled witnesses.

I’m wondering if there might not be one or more surprise witnesses, people who might have kept their intent to testify secret, so that the DOD could not exert pressure on them.

Either the very knowledgeable Lou Elizondo or Chris Mellon would be perfect as surprise witnesses, but would either one of them want to trust in the untested, newly expanded whistleblower protections against retaliation and/or prosecution, and burn their bridges.

RE: Lou Elizondo

From what I have gathered Elizondo has paid a steep financial and personal price for his efforts to get more information about UFOs released.

He left military service early, so that means a reduction in any pension.

Elizondo has mentioned that, at one point, he and his family had to live in a trailer.

I’ve seen some speculation that he was hoping that his joining the “To The Stars Academy” might result–if they were successful–in income to make up the difference, but that didn’t work out for him, he left TTSA, and he now says that he works as a government and private contractor.

Apparently for security reasons Elizondo and his family have moved to a remote area out West.

As I find myself saying, most people are human beings.

They are largely concerned with the things directly in their lives, and not many of those things bring them comfort or happiness. Many people don’t get a lot of either, so if an animal fills that gap, they care about that animal.

Here’s the story of my aunt from a local paper:

This column is dedicated to a woman I never saw, never talked to, never even heard about until a few days ago. I really wish I knew more about the woman … because, of all the stories I’ve heard heard about animal lovers, none is quite like the story of S.

“She was a loner, but she wasn’t lonely,” said one of her closest friends. “She was comfortable without people around her. She had her animals. The animals didn’t give her any pain, any grief.”

Why do words ending in “ist” (e.g. Marxist, leftist, etc, but the list is l-o-n-g) not require another “s” for their plurals? I am so tired of this. Borderline illiterate….

“…have no more patience for the Marxist who’ve taken over the democrat party”

On a par with “The Smith’s” sign on or near the Smiths’ house.

Please read Nimitz’s essay. The story begins with a report from Herodotus and ends with a missionary’s gossip from 1931.

As far as anyone knows, the east African pygmies are long since dead, maybe for a very long time. We’re not asked to weep for their plight. On the other hand, who doesn’t like pygmies, so maybe we can all shed a tiny tear or two.

We here in the U.S. have a seemingly inexhaustible list of major crises to deal with, so, pardon me if I put the “plight”–somehow, it’s always a “plight”–of the “forgotten pygmies of East Africa” pretty far down on the list of issues for us here in the U.S. to tackle.

And while I’m at it, it really amazes me how various “animal lovers” rhapsodize in the Youtube videos they put up about how they’ve “fallen in love,” sometimes with a dog or a cat, but quite often with a pig, an armadillo, a rat, a mouse, a parrot, or a gopher, a lizard, a donkey, a snake, a spider, a turtle or a goat, even a bee or a moth, and about how they’ve “rescued” these creatures, fed them around the clock–sometimes for months–when they were first born, and spent a boatload of money and time trying to fix whatever health problems they might have (not to mention often dressing them up in silly costumes which probably cost a fair amount of money) meanwhile, apparently hundreds of thousands of human children are being trafficked in a little known or acknowledged sex trade, and nobody seems to be making the kind of major effort it will apparently take to destroy this trade and, to rescue these children.

Is it just me, or are many people’s priorities out of whack?
