America,

And even the government collided with corporations and crooked finance schemes.

America,

The 80s everyone decided they should have wealth and the ends justified the means.

I mean everyone.

Everyone.

Wealth became the national obsession.

It was nuts.

American,

I see the 80s as the great sell out.

So many facets of America sold out all at once.

Corky,

I'm not crazy about Reagan. He turned me away from Republicans.

I voted for him and voted Democrat up until Trump.

Neither party represents my views.

However, Democrats today are downright embarrassing.

They are obsessed with Trump and generally fooling themselves Kamala isn't an empty suit.

Corky,

Unemployment and social security assume people work for these benefits to kick in.

If the government created work programs like FDR did, the ACLU or someone would scream bloody murder.

Corky,

I am well aware of his job programs.

That's not what we have though, is it?

Try telling people today they'll be expected to do manual labor like building roads.

FDR 1935 State of the Union speech,

"The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of relief. . . . Continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit."

He recognized a need for the government to respond to a specific crisis but it was not intended to create multi-generational perpetual wards of the state.

What he predicted is exactly what has happened. It has created people with low self-esteen and now they are angry they get little respect from others and frankly don't even respect themselves.

It has done to the "national fiber" exactly what he predicted.

Tony,

"both candidates should be asked to reflect on how they mentally arrive at making the decision to send Americans into harm's way"

Where have you been all these years?

That is one of the oldest quandaries of leaders sending men into war.

Oh...you're so insightful.

How do they put it?

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

Something else for those interested is a documentary The Phenomenon.

In both the series I mentioned above and this documentary we hear about the heavy involvement of Harry Reid (1939-2021) in getting classified information released.

He was a lawyer and a democratic politician who served as a US senator from Nevada from 1987 to 2017. He was the Senate Majority Leader from 2007 to 2015 and the Senate Minority Leader from 2015 to 2017.

He was an integral part of all this as a politician who took a major interest in the UAP controversy.

What is also interesting is he was senator of the state where Area 51 is located.

Donner,

If you did watch it you'd know "alien invasion" is not the point of the series.

You're just big mouth blow hard.

Donner,

And I think you're lying about watching it.

Someone who was as uninterested in it as you talk wouldn't watch more than 1 episode.

Donner,

I will ignore your troll posts.

Mad,

Lot of theories why people have remained quiet. Mostly peer pressure and the fact you are risking your life.

Personally I am still waiting on visible evidence such as clear up close photos.

Legal,

Watch the series I mentioned.

Don't assume I accept it hook line and sinker.

However I'm intelligent enough to not refuse to listen to what is happening.

Let's just say Congress has gotten into it because the DOD has gone on the record saying there's something in our sky's that can out maneuver and move faster than us and apparently defy the laws of physics.

Whatever it is could park on the lawn of the White House.

Lou"s new book he says he's not convinced whatever this is is altogether benign.

Read his book just came out this week. Ties closely to the History Channel series.

There are people who believe we need to be careful we might not like what we discover.

Donner,

I'm sure the grand know-it-all will have all the answers.

There's several on this site. Ask them.

Donner,

The growing opinion by people most involved in this subject and have investigated in detail the thousands of reports over the decades around the world is that most reports are explainable.

However, the cases that are unexplained seem to have commonalities.

A strong interest in nuclear technology and seems to have ties closely related to water.

It's plausible whatever this is existed on earth before man and perhaps might be home-based in the oceans.

For those who are interested, a 2 season series on the History Channel called Unidentified Inside America's UFO Investigation is what broke the ice.

The series started before Congress got involved and gives the viewer information about many of the important points and introduces you to important players in this subject.

Trump ordered the DOD giving them 6 months to prepare a report for Congress after congressmen became concerned about national security.

The DOD came back saying they are aware of things flying around they don't know who they belong but have ruled out China and Russia.

This actually goes back to the first days of aerial combat people reporting seeing things but forced to remain quiet.

It's been since this series the general public have moved this story from kooks to something openly discussed.

Dan,

What will people do without Trump to talk about?

They might have to actually talk about issues.

Dan,

"She could say EVERYTHING you'd want her to say"

But she won't.

Why do you post straw men and expect people to respond to it?

I'm not wasting my evening with you.

Rcade,

"There's still an election to be won"

There's still a debate.

Don't you think we need to hear more about what she's intending on doing straight from the horses mouth without prewritten speeches?
