They are waiting until we destroy ourselves. Then they will swoop in and salvage anything worth salvaging.

The sad truth is that to intelligent life out there we look like savages, in a race to kill each other and our planet off. We are so stupid that we are literally destroying our home when we have nowhere else to go.

We offer nothing of value to advanced civilizations. They probably pass Earth by on their way to planets with intelligent life on them and remark about how stupid and self-destructive the inhabitants of this planet are. This mess of civilization isn't worth their bother.

That said, we'll see.

P.S. The same people that tend to greatly distrust the govt. and the MIC...tend to drop their guard when you say we need more MIC spending because of UFO's.
NASA has just discovered "sound" in space. That is a scientific breakthrough.
The "sound" is 40-50 octaves below what we can hear and computer algorithms were able to transpose the sounds to what we can hear.

It's a new scientific discovery for us. They detected waves in 2003 but didn't have the technology to do anything more and it took until now to figure it out.

Stuff like the below should be our headlines today.....not derisive politics and social issues

Einstein hypothesized about another dimension. And current string theory alludes to another dimension.
But we do not have the technology to do anything but acknowledge there is "something" because of vibrations detected where there is nothing discernible to be measured or seen.

I think the Pentagon answered it pretty clearly...."how can they defend us".

It won't be rally and say "hello". It will be Rambo style with guns and missiles blaring with no "hello".

We should call them "rumors". You know how fast rumors can fly.

They are declassified government documents, not "rumors".

And they first speculate that countries have technology unknown to us.

I’ve read some say that it’s us from the future. Better chance of that than some species beating faster than light travel.

Might explain why no government on Earth has ever disclosed anything about these sightings in any meaningful way.

Because space aliens make a great distraction from inflation and recession.

They've already played the abortion Roe v Wade reversal, Mar A Lago raid to get Trump again cards, so they need new material.

I think they'll fabricate a major race/racist story prior to Nov 8th too. The Black vote has seen slippage, so gotta panic Blacks too.

The radical uber left is pushing every psychological warfare button they have to stir up their voters to become enraged, & engaged, because they see a Red Wave heading towards them on Nov 8th.

Nanu Nanu
