This thread really seems to have stirred up #ufotwitter, but few seem to understand it. Those that dismiss it too quickly understand it the least. All the discussions around whether or not I can imagine Extraterrestrial life being far more advanced than I have described... 2/ (aside from being hysterically funny as they continue to insist the alien spacecraft are far more advanced than we could possibly imagine - and yet dozens have crashed on Earth) miss the *intent* of the thread. I'm *not* trying to convince you UFOs aren't real.

Let's talk about all of this alien stuff seriously for a moment. So, a "credible" person who worked for the USG claims we've been collecting crashed spaceships from aliens for decades. Forget for a moment that plenty of credible people have disputed this, to accept the story... 2/ you must believe that 1) Multiple alien spacecraft have visited Earth, 2) A surprising number crashed here, 3) we managed to keep it secret for most of a century, and 4) we have somehow not used that wreckage to expand our own tech noticeably. First things first:

26/ Continued from the previous thread which you can read here: 27/ After serving up a bunch of NOTHING, @ShellenbergerMD can’t resist implying that an unrelated issue —the fact that the law allows service providers to seek reimbursement for production of records, but providers have to detail the costs and invoice for them—is related to...

1/ Earlier, @ShellenbergerMD posted an extraordinarily misleading (and possibly defamatory) thread, where he stated a bunch of things he believes to be true, then cherry-picked "evidence" to support his incorrect beliefs. Of course, he lacks the background, training, or 2/ experience which would have given him any real understanding of the utter nonsense he was spouting, but hey, that's what "Twitter Files" is all about, so why not?
Fortunately, I *do* have the requisite training and experience to call "BS" on his whole thread.

1/ For those who don't know, I've been involved in a couple of tech startups - one I was the co-founder & CTO, and one I was the VP of Engineering. I currently have another in development - and I direct most of my investment-seeking efforts to Europe. Why? Because of The Formula 2/ The Formula (as I call it) is what many in the Silicon Valley VC scene look for (and will lie, cheat, and steal to obtain).

The Formula is based on the myths of Thomas Edison (NOT Nikola Tesla, as I'll explain), Ford, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Zuck, and now, sadly, @elonmusk

1/ Y'all this is weirder than I thought. In addition to the George Washington replica revolver, the hand-cannon, diet coke, etc. He has what appears to be a Tibetan Buddhist Dorje Vajra Thunderbolt and a boxed set of George Washington's "Rules of Civility" (ironic) along with 2/ what appears to be The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution in a box set.

Not sure if he's planning to run for president, or just having a normal one, but maybe somebody ought to check in on @elonmusk? ImageImage

1/ I've seen a lot of "Why bother to vote?" Posts from supposed Democrats, and as someone who has voted for both parties (though overall for more Rs than Ds in my misspent youth), let me give you that "swing voter" perspective: in reality Dems aren't a party. That's why they lose 2/ Registered D's outnumber R's by a wide margin. I mean a WIDE margin - about 13 MILLION. Opinion polls, registrations, population centers: they all show D's should overwhelmingly win every election.

But they're not a party: they're a loose coalition.

1/ Statement analysis is one of those "soft skills" that is important in life. It served me well as an FBI Agent, and continues to inform how I make decisions. Some friends highlighted a thread recently which made my antenna go up. BLUF: I'm not accusing anyone of a crime, but... 2/ ...when someone uses distancing, redirection, and Hypotheticals in response to a question, it's odd. When they POSE THE QUESTION and do that, it's *really odd*.
Take the first line here:
