"Random" is the place where all the content from the Fediverse that couldn't be classified into any other magazine ends up.
The increase in UFO buzz is forced. Not organic.
No one really cares. Many people figure there is something out there and have their own opinions. This news ramp up smells fake.
If the buzz is coming from the govt or the press those entities have very low credibility.
So... Shrug.
Weirdly enough, there is no actual buzz yet, from my point of view. The claims are quite crazy, and mainstream media has only reported hesitantly if not ignored the recent developments so far.
So while I understand your general stance, I would agree more with the article in that "something" is going on that is worth looking at, without coming to early conclusions. No matter the outcome, it can potentially teach us a lot about how these involved organizations/entities work.
Yeah something is in the works. I am with you on that. In general conspiracy circles people have been waiting for "them" to play the Alien card for a while now. This may be that. For what purpose, who knows. Distraction, control, fear, or maybe it's completely real and is just time to do so.
But given the track record of the press and the gov't I would lean towards the 1st 3 possibilities.
Yup, something is up alright. It's the government trying to detract from the shitstorm that's is our country right now. Nobody's taking the bait though. Nobody with half a brain at least.
But wouldn't the be easier ways to distract?
