    Don’t care.

    Cost of living is too high for me to give a shit about aliens unless they’re here to liberate us from the assholes in charge.

    It’s funny because this is like a double he said she said moment. Gaetz says someone claimed that this project is real. Meaning no actual evidence.

      I think it all stems back to a rather famous call the Art Bell Coast to Coast radio show got, waaaay back in the 90s:

      https://youtube.com/watch?v=ee3bld4lTG0

      You can probably find more info on this event than what is in this video, but this is the oldest upload of it to youtube I can find.

      So yeah… right wing Christians tended to massively listen to radio talk shows more than other groups, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, etc…

      So, probably a lot of them heard this, and well its been 30 years, 30 years for … collective lore development.

      Its like how just most kooky spiritual gurus can trace back their ideas to Helena Blavatsky snd Theosophy, late 1800s / early 1900s.

      Which includes the Thule Society, and thus Nazis.

      For a long time there has been crossover between right wing politics and zany belief structures… I think it boils down to just an authoritarian approach to knowledge.

        Blavatsky was a barking, swivel-eyed loon.

        Which includes the Thule Society, and thus Nazis.

        But another spin-off was Dartington, which nurtured a lot of good art and progressive politics along with the woo.
