I just had a thought like "What if some UFO aduction experiences people claim to have are actually people being kidnapped by the CIA" thinking-about-it

The kind of stories I'm thinking about often go like: "I was driving on an empty road in the middle of nowhere. I saw a bright light," and then either "I remember nothing but had lost time" or "I remember being experimented on by aliens and then put back in my car."

My tinfoil hat side is thinking like, these stories started happening around the time the US admitted to experimenting with abuse, torture and psychoactive drugs in Project MK-Ultra. Alien abduction stories were the most prevalent during this time. (CW: Just a heads up. If you want to read the rest of this post or anything else about MK-Ultra, be warned that it's pretty horrible, and involves some of the most disgusting torture I have ever read about. Death to America.)

Of the surviving documents released to the public about MK-Ultra, the CIA admits to: "kidnapping people it deemed "expendable" to undertake various types of torture and human experimentation on them. The prisoners were interrogated while being administered psychoactive drugs, electroshocked and subjected to extremes of temperature, sensory isolation and the like to develop a better understanding of how to destroy and to control human minds."

Part of me wonders how many of these alien abduction stories are just people being kidnapped, drugged with powerful hallucinogens, experimented on and then released with the suggestion conditioned into their mind that it was aliens.

The most famous alien abduction story is that of Barney and Betty Hill, an interracial couple that were both civil rights leaders, definitely people that the CIA would want to fuck with, especially during rising tensions with the Soviet Union, the US government was suspicious of minorities and anyone interested in their rights.

    The nasal swab COVID-19 tests that are still somewhat affordable give false negatives waaaaaay more than they say

      I had taken one a couple weekends ago because I was feverish in a way that was familiar to me from the last time I had COVID, and it came back negative so I was OK probably just the flu. Well, my whole family caught it and it was COVID after all.

      I've outsmarted scientists at their own game 20 times by now, they are no match for my inductive thinking and I don't care about boasting about this

      article from 2021 about how COVID+ rate in deer is 80x more than humans: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/11/10/1054224204/how-sars-cov-2-in-american-deer-could-alter-the-course-of-the-global-pandemic

      the writers flagellate themselves over "how could deer be 80x more infected than humans?"
      Common sense should tell you that deer are just bags of flesh like we are, so there's no reason for this discrepancy
      then somewhere in the article it unwittingly mentions that they were testing LYMPH NODES from deer that were shot by hunters
      while the human data was from NASAL SWABS

      so the obvious conclusion here is that COVID sticks around in the organs much much longer than it does in the nose/throat. I suspected this in 2020 based on my symptoms and solidified it in 2021 based on this article, and it was proven in 2022

      This means that the positivity rate in a geographic population is actually 80x larger than nasal swab data suggests

      And yes, of course COVID-19 is an AMERICAN BIOWEAPON
