Please note this is posted by Djarums, ATS Member, NOT Djarums ATS SuperModerator. I'm posting my personal views and a question from ME.

As a longtime member of ATS and someone who has always been interested in alternative topics and discussions I have seen dozens of threads posted claiming to show video of "so and so" morphing into a reptilian etc.

Now, for full disclosure, while I do enjoy discussing alternative topics I have always found this topic to be a little bit "out there". That said, I've always respected other people's opinions. My opinion is that these claims are a bit outrageous. But hey, that's just me.

My question about these threads is actually a really simple one. Please bear with me for a moment and consider the following points.

You'll notice that these threads are always about famous people. Whether it's a prominent politicians, a news reporter, a celebrity, or whoever, it's always someone who would be considered "famous" or "influential" which I'm sure feeds the theory that there is something sinister about them. We never really see videos titled "random person in the street turns into lizard" or anything like that. It's always someone well known, which brings me to my next point.

Anyone who is familiar with today's popular culture, especially in the United States and England, is quite familiar with the fact that most celebrities are having photographs and videos taken of them nearly 24/7, which brings me to my next point.

All of the video of these people is archived these days. Every newscast, every soundbite, every blurb having anything to do with these "newsmakers" is archived by various sources. This brings me to my actual question...

Why is it that every single time someone presents a thread about "so and so" being a reptilian is the evidence some third rate, horrible quality, knock off, faded out, pixellated, blurry, boxy, horrendous YouTube Video?

Do you mean to tell me that no better quality is available? Baloney! If I was watching CNN (for example) and I noticed Anderson Cooper's nose change shape you can be pretty darn sure that I'd hit the DVR up real quickly, or better yet, order a copy of the program from the network. YES, did you know that you can almost always request a copy of a television program from the network? Did you know that the networks keep ALL of their programs on tape? Yes, every one of them. Now, you may reply to me by saying "well, they charge 20 dollars for it", but come on now... if I had seen something that would change everyone's perception of reality I'd surely pay the 20 dollars for it. Wouldn't you?

But no... instead all we get is the youtube garbage quality that I described earlier with too many adjectives to repeat. So what happens with the youtube videos? What's wrong with the youtube videos? Well, what happens is that because they are of such pathetic quality, the immediate arguments presented are related to that very video's quality. Digital noise, garbling, warped pixels, etc. It is impossible to refute those arguments because they're RIGHT!!! The videos suck! Show me the Queen of England or The President "shapeshifting" in full screen 1080p quality and then we'll have something to talk about. Video hosting? Hell, if you find someone morphing into a lizard on REAL quality video, the offers to host it will come from everywhere. I'll pay for the damn thing to be hosted.

In this day and age of video being everywhere and everything being saved I can NOT understand this bizarre phenomenon of people uploading their supposed evidence of something potentially earth shattering in horrendous quality. Why do this? If you're trying to PROVE something or to EXPOSE something or to REVEAL something, then put in the effort and do the job. By simply pasting artifact riddled videoclips that are worse than a 10 dollar cellular phone's camera you are contributing nothing to what you're claiming to be your cause. Unless that's not the motivation at all...

I'd appreciate any input people have on this, perhaps unusually long post for me, but something that had been bugging me for a while. Any comments will be appreciated, and again I certainly don't mean to insult or pick on anyone this is something that I personally want to ask.

I would say the only images that stand a chance of being worse in quality than over compressed digital images/videos would be a newspaper reproduction and there's two reasons for it.

1. The image is most likely compressed since most newspapers get their images from the photography companies digitally.

2. They are printed with ink on paper, I've seen images in papers that were nearly unidentifiable from bleed or pixelation.

Now when you get down to the one or two pixels a human eye pupil would be in a newspaper photo just about anything is possible.

Naturally without seeing the picture I could be all wet on this.

I dont doubt that you "see" it, like i do, i just want to know where you are getting your information from. Is there anything web related on this?
I'd like to read up on the subject.

It's all right here: Urantia Book Paper 67,

www.truthbook.com...

too many are quick to dismiss it as a "religious book" when it is in all actuality a book given to mankind to understand the reality of what is going on universally.

It's funny to me. People all about "I want to know the truth" yet the truth stands open and infront of them and they themselves put on their blinders.

NO ONE IS LYING TO YOU BUT YOU!

"The Bible, many lost scrolls, the sumarians, and every fricken culture that were worlds appart back in the ancient historic days all have documentation."

Damn fine evidence - those "many lost scrolls":@

The historic truth absolute is fragmented and it requires building the puzzle. It doesn't mean you see what you want. You logically ad up all things and if something doesn't fit then your realize you're trying to make it fit into a place it doesn't.

Everything from the acienct sumarian cultures and documentation, and all cultures of the world, inlcuding all the spiritual texts associated within the spectrum of the "bible", dead sea scrolls and etc...

OR! don't be so quick to judge the Urantia Book wrong, because perspectually it is correct in accordance to the understandings of "the watchers", and other beings you'd address as "Aliens and UFOs".
