Sorry everyone. One of those ships of theirs would probably be able to take over the planet on its own. Supposedly these ships have been observed disabling nuclear missile silos. If they were communists, they would probably want to liberate us. They would likewise be able to do so right this moment. But they don't. Therefore, they aren't communists. Facts and logic :expert-shapiro:
How could a non-communist society send ships to other solar systems? It's possible. Something like Breakthrough Starshot could conceivably happen before a communist revolution on Earth. The USA, a fascist dictatorship, sent people to the moon.
If the UFOs are real, I think that they're some kind of automated probe(s) which were actually sent here hundreds if not thousands of years ago. (The earliest recorded UFO sighting was in 1440 BC.) As mentioned on the most recent episode of Guerilla History, UFOs might have been triggered or made more active somehow by the first detonation of an atomic bomb.
The civilization which built them might not even exist anymore, but their technology is evidently still way ahead of ours, which means it could be quite some time before we ever figure out what these UFOs actually are.
Something is definitely going on, though, whatever the fuck it is. The podcast mentions a guy I had never heard of named Ron Westrum. He gave a talk here mentioning how alien abductions probably aren't all in people's heads, since they sometimes happen to multiple people at the same time or are observed by others who are not abducted.
All of this generally shows that in spite of what people tell you, nobody really knows what the fuck is going on.
but is that less likely than actual aliens here on earth? especially when the us gov promotes nonsense conspiracies like moon landing denial to drown out likely and proven ones like the hundreds of us backed coups and now declassified records of experimentation on both their own citizens and those of other countries, including their allies. Also, its less about convincing the politicians to buy more weapons, their answer to that is always yes. The real reason to bang on the china bad drums or spread a conspiracy is to manufacture consent and give reason why these weapons are justified, less they end up with a massive antiwar movement. In this endeavor, they try multiple approaches, because "china bad" wont land with everyone, even among the "china bad" crowd there are many contradictory reasons meant to resonate with different audiences.
