Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.

A significant chunk of American pop culture of the past decades is based on the premise that The Government is Hiding Something.

Trump’s going to throw a big wrench in that by releasing fucking everything. Except a few things. A few great secrets.

I swear American pop culture in the coming century or so is just going to be The Government is Hiding The Epstein Files, over and over and over.

Well who can forget ‘’ Roswell Case Closed’’ media.defense.gov/2010/Oct/…/AFD-101027-030.pdf If this is the level of truth we are going to get…who can blame us for remaining skeptical of the Government…

Chronological Anachronism: The report attributes “alien bodies” to anthropomorphic dummies used in Project High Dive, which did not begin until 1953. Skeptics argue it is a fallacy to use events from the mid-1950s to explain a widely reported incident that occurred in July 1947.

The “Memory Consolidation” Fallacy: The USAF proposed that witnesses merged memories of different events (Project Mogul in 1947, dummy drops in the 1950s, and a 1956 KC-97 crash) into a single 1947 narrative. Critics argue this dismisses firsthand testimony by assuming a collective, decades-long memory failure among numerous unrelated witnesses.

False Equivalence of Physical Descriptions: The report suggests that “alien” features, such as bulbous heads, were actually injured airmen like Capt. Dan D. Fulgham, who suffered severe swelling after a 1959 balloon accident. Critics point out that describing a human officer as an “alien” is a logical stretch, especially when the timing is over a decade off.

The “Moving Goalposts” Argument: Some researchers claim the USAF has changed its official explanation four times (crashed disc, weather balloon, Project Mogul, and finally dummies), which they view as a pattern of circular reasoning or shifting narratives to maintain a cover-up. Selective Evidence: The report identifies “hieroglyphics” on the debris as poorly stenciled labels or flowered tape from the Project Mogul balloon. Critics argue this selectively ignores witness descriptions of indestructible, metallic debris that could not be cut or burned.

Within the next few years America is going to start importing most of its pop culture. The American media industry is dying. Good riddance.
