OK, so let me get a first fact out - about me.
On the basis of personal experience and reports by a range of people, I accept that unidentified flying objects (UFOs - or the elitist acronym “UAPs” [unidentified aerial phenomena] ) - exist.
I also consider that the political-military-”science”-media cover up of that has been unjustifiable from the 70s on. Earlier, in the hyper-paranoid Cold War era of the 50s it may have been too close to what would cause Westerners to panic, but that hasn’t been the case now for decades - and to continue perpetuating the automatic denialism and mockery of everyday people has destroyed the credibility of the political, military, “scientific” (and yes, they deserve the derisive scorn of quotation marks), and media worlds and thereby contributed significantly to the current denialist insanity of a noisy minority during the pandemic and the violent denialism of the RWNJs.
In the UFO/“UAP” field, it has allowed the continuation / spread of theories such as planets (including the Earth) being hollow.
Next fact about me: I do NOT accept that the Earth or any other planet has large proportions of its physical interior as a hollow. I’ve touched on this elsewhere (see here), and, in my opinion (IMO), there is just too much evidence - including measurements of gravitational acceleration (the “g” factor of 9.8 m/s2) from things like the sideways pull of mountains, and the MILLIONS of earthquakes from all over the world - for a large physical hollow inside this planet.
Smaller hollows, of the scale of large caves, maybe, but that would certainly be <<1%.
Something like ⅓ of the interior, with an interior sun?
No - and that sort of notion destroys the credibility of the UFO/“UAP” field.
Astral hollows? Well, sort of - maybe.
I’m aware of portals that are flat on the ground, so may be perceived by SOME of those who are not paying attention as being a doorway into the physical interior of the Earth, when they are actually to nonphysical / other dimensional realms. To assume that such portals ARE into the physical interior of the Earth is a lacking in clear and present thinking as those who assume going to another planet must mean “a planet in our solar system” (and thus the idiocy [from the 50s and 60s in particular] of those who think Venus or other planets are inhabitable by indigenous species very akin to humans of Earth) or those who assume that the Sun rises because the rooster crows.
And again, that destroys the credibility of the UFO/“UAP” field.
Now we come to what I want to cover in this post: those who are suggesting that large numbers of Earth military are engaged in physical operations on other planets.
My reaction to this is “no”.
A substantial part of the surface of the plants of our solar system are viewed not just by “official” astronomers, but by unofficial astronomers. Some of those astronomers have, for instance, posted video of UFOs/“UAPs” transiting the face of the Moon. None, as far as I am aware, have posted credible footage of bases or significant levels of traffic that would be associated with something akin to war (there are, however, real possibilities of "cloaking" or similar measures to reduce detectability).
My BPM Guides also disagree with that notion of extensive bases and large scale physical human involvement in actions (including war-like) on other planets - whereas they support what I’ve written about portals and confirmation there are no large scale hollows (and were particularly pushy on me examining scientific evidence).
(Incidentally, I don’t automatically accept absolutely everything my BPM Guides say - look at the linked definition of Guide to start getting an appreciation of why. Also, my life experience includes people using “guides” as a convenient alleged back up for bigotry, including racism, misogyny/misandry/sexism, transphobia [including by LGB people] and homo-/bi-phobia [one local “spiritual” church was particularly plagued by the latter].)
There are issues around secrecy to consider.
Now, in the UFO/“UAP” field, secrecy is often equated to “official government cover up”, but that isn’t necessarily so.
If those with a military mind are convinced of the need for secrecy, they will keep it - just consider the tens of thousands involved with the development of the nuclear bomb during World War(part) Two who kept the secret, or the hundreds (particularly women) involved with code breaking at Bletchley Park who took their involvement and knowledge of what happened there to the grave, and the millions who kept secrets of the Cold War - even the famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg kept some things secret for decades after releasing the Pentagon Papers.
Secrecy does not require the invention of complex government coverups with weird sounding alleged “official” levels of secrecy: it requires that those involved genuinely believe that the matter is for the good of society, or for the benefit of those that the secret keepers care about (which includes those involved in criminal conspiracies).
The existence of extraterrestrial life is something that, IMO, those in the military would likely be motivated to keep secret for reasons of the military's (mis)perception of safety (“national security”) - and that those in the industrial complex would keep safe for commercial (profit) motivations; that some simple-minded individuals would keep secret because they are addicted to feeling “good” on the basis of the power of their nation (or some similar form of loyalty - many people, including criminals, have taken secrets to their grave); and that SOME in the political and religious worlds would keep secret in the interests of getting or keeping power.
Some in the scientific world would keep it secret because of their character flaws - they would have the same denialist reactions of those who refuse to accept or even consider fairly ANY evidence of survival after death (Victor Zammit has demolished such pseudo-thinking quite well - see here, here, and here) and the SAME DENIALIST REACTIONS AS THOSE WHO DENY THE EXISTENCE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BECAUSE THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF THE REALITY OF DEATH.
Yes, I have just lumped “scientific” sceptics in the same bucket of manure as COVID denialists, and both are there because of their emotional incompetence, a flaw that is also behind many of the misogynistic, LGBTIQ-phobic, irrational abusers in engineering - some of whom, IMO, fit into the definition of psychopath (and the counsellors who claim they are all sociopath have their own denialist / lack of life experience issues to consider).
So, where I am at now is:
- I am outside the fully conventional
limits of society because I accept the existence of: the non-physical & psychism, survival
after death, physical and nonphysical UFOs/“UAPs”, and extraterrestrial life (the existence of UFOs/“UAPs” does not automatically mean they are extraterrestrial ["if our governments can't make them, they must be from out of here" is too limited an understanding of the other possibilities of reality - which could also include shadows/projects from nonphysical or other worlds, atmospheric creatures, and, yes [*sigh*] hidden or unknown civilisations on Earth);
- I do not accept the alleged existence of
some unconventional matters, such as physically hollow planets, or extensive
bases and large scale physical human involvement in actions (including
war-like) on other planets;
- I consider some of the problems with both
scepticism and gullibility to be attributable to lack of clear and present thinking (Russell Targ [and Elisabeth Targ and perhaps Lynne McTaggert], incidentally, also makes similar points to Victor Zammit
on flawed thinking of specialists who start drifting outside their area of
expertise - something I have experienced amongst some intellectually arrogant
engineers and the engineering profession generally, and seen amongst idiots who
say we cannot afford to take action on the existential climate crisis, or that
we generally supposedly can’t “afford” progressivism [Robert Reich has some excellent perspectives on that lie] ), and EMOTIONAL
INCOMPETENCE;
- I am also starting to realise the extent of the desire for human connection as a problem - amongst both sceptics and the gullible. A recent article on people winding up as conspiracy fantasists as a search for online connection pointed this out.
Thinking through the implications and how to manage the last point is taking some of my time and energy at the present, and was why I wanted to write this article.
PS - my scepticism could be wrong, too - keep that in mind, and come to your own opinion(s) 😊
