WORKS

Well, it’s been quite a week here on the farm, we won’t bore you with the details like so much Facebook dribble, what with all the murder and mayhem going on it’s just good to be a hillbilly. Best call ahead if you’re coming down my driveway.

Now, if all this ain’t enough, the goons are back in their chambers claiming space people are watchin’ us. Yup, that’s right, another (this is the third) commission on the relevance of flying saucers has convened in the halls of congress. Another panel of witnesses testifies before our elected officials with firsthand encounters and lousy evidence of visitors from outer space, warehoused hocus pocus and spooky stories. See for yourself right there for the cameras on C-SPAN.

We missed the first one a year or so ago but watched the second and third go-round of what appears to be a boondoggle, or something else.

Rather than seek out the alien race who is acting the Peeping Tom, let’s look for a motive for this commission.

The earlier panel consisted of pretty well-respected veterans in their respective fields which included NASA, Navy, Scientists and a nationally renowned author on the subject of UFOs, now called UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena). The discussion was very technical, very compelling with a consensus being surveillance by other than human intelligence. Their call to action included advancing our technology and defense as well as congressional action to reform classification of sensitive information.

The very recent panel consisted of air and ground force veterans as well as at least one very well-known author on the subject of UFOs. Once again, firsthand accounts and some very poor video to advance some agenda or other, only this time the call to action is protection for whistle blowers.

Are we seeing a pattern here? The one prevailing theme is not a single witness can tell us exactly what, where or why is the nature of these visitations since it’s all classified information; they routinely inform congressional questioners that more can be learned in a SCIF (for gladhanding and backslapping?).

Here’s the thing

This hillbilly came closer to interstellar visitation then any of these knuckleheads could dream of: The Great Fireball that turned out to be an Earth-grazing asteroid.

Even at the tender age of ten there seemed a distinction between natural (although potentially catastrophic) phenomena and beings from another world.

Been there, done that.

Now, imagine we are part of a secret society where divulging secrets comes with severe penalties. No one wants to talk for fear of reprisal. No one knows the truth because everyone is afraid to talk. No one knows exactly what’s going on because they’re not supposed to know, what they do know, they can’t talk about, and no one knows who does know because they’re not supposed to know.

So, what’s the motive? If we’re talking about these hearings, they’re shitting their pants about something, be it political or extraterrestrial.

If we’re talking about space aliens, if they were going to do something for or against us one would think they would have done it by now.

So, what do they want?

Somebody’s putting on a show.

As for me, this hillbilly was up close and personal with a grazer from outer space and survived. That was show enough for me.

Martians?

Sure…
