I would maybe have agreed with you before the removal of sections from the Schumer UAP amendment.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, nor do I believe there's enough evidence to say alien stuff is real, but after this amendment, all bets are off.
The most important part of the amendment that was removed by house Republicans was the eminent domain clause. It stated that the federal government must exercise eminent domain over non human technologies or biological evidence.
There is absolutely no reason to remove that unless we have alien stuff, or simply severe corruption in the pentagon/military/private defense contractors, etc
I could honestly go either way. Grusch went under oath with his outlandish claims. If he's lying, it needs to be proven so he can go to prison forever. If the people he investigated who told him "alien stuff", they need to be found and investigated so they can go to prison.
If there are groups in the pentagon/military/private defense contractors who are taking tax funding and just saying "alien stuff" and aren't required to disclose classified programs to elected officials or the executive branch, that is unacceptable.
We need answers no matter what. Anyone who says this is unimportant because it's silly conspiracy theory nonsense is simply wrong.
its either aLiEnS or what our entire economic system is built on
gee thats a tough one
Sorry dude, but you are already living in conspiracy theory land.
alright then.
