In return, I've found you're good at math, deductions. At the same time you under estimate a persons ability
to know exactly how to say something in obscurity. See truth is a big thing with me and I can say, I bet I know better than you exactly what I said.
The only disdain I have for this thread is something you control. The amount of text is insufficient and theres no reason with a topic like this. Everyone has a lot to say. Your opener is essential to an interesting thread. If you
choose to be offended by that? Well that is the truth.edit on 17-12-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

If aliens attacked, we'd have appeasers, and fighters.
We might as well just face it. We are a difficult species who will find every and any reason/excuse to fight.
If an intelligent species did visit and was here, the smart thing to do would be to keep quiet.
To your point, imagine a virus attacking the human race.
We wouldn't even gain consensus on THAT!
Some would laud the virus.
Some would hate and try to kill the virus.
We are a combative, argumentative species. I would imagine alien civilizations looking at us the same way WE view the Kardashians!
But this thread was to see what people here thought about COVERUP....whether they believe E.T. to exist or not....whether the coverup was for the purpose of Hidding secret Military Programs...or was in place to prevent Humans from reacting in a manner that would be chaos to our system.

see i don't view the report that said religious people would be the problem, as an accurate reflection of reality. particularly not after discussing these issues with both religious and non-religious people. by far, atheists are the most adamant against any notion that the ET possibility may verify the authenticity of ancient texts the world over. not all atheists, mind you, but they are the most likely to call it bunk and would be forced to work overtime to quell any damage such a revelation might make among their ranks.

Yah, but atheists don't burn people at the stake for disagreeing with them. Religious people have been known to... well you get my point. Today's equivalent would be "modern civilization" bombing other countries to "free them" or "democratize them", which is just another lie really designed to invoke a "justifiable" excuse to invade and steal their stuff. See "Conquistadors" and the "Crusades" (which are still going on BTW).

I have but the tiniest of glimpse of this issue...and it scares the Hell out of me. Why do you think I am posting on this board. If it were not for the fact that I have NEVER posted any concept or idea that has not already been made public...I would no longer be posting.
Because of a special association and the use of my Overt Job in conjunction with my other one....I would have no leverage at all. Split Infinity
