As much as I love UFOs and ETs, I feel like there's more important things to work on than releasing a bunch of useless reports.

That’s tautological if you presume they’re useless.

(But they probably will be)

It’s not that much of a presumption if we already know that UFOs aren’t aliens.
Hrmmph, interdimensional beings? Nice angle! I must say-
For you maybe, but it's not hard to see why this is a top government priority.

Many people very into UFOs were also being louder than convenient about the Epstein files. It's a domestic distraction, not unlike the Iran war.

If people are talking about maybe-aliens that's a conversation that isn't about the president raping children.

And while raping children is a very serious offense, it's not nearly as bad as the administration's other practice of incinerating and dismembering them hundreds at a time...
The UFO people are telling me it’s Cuba next and then revelation of alien technology recovery from a crash site.

Vamos a ver…

I think your comment hit all the main rage bait keywords: UFOs, aliens, Epstein, Iran, Trump, sexual abuse
Oh definitely not. I didn't mention Israel/Palestine once.
they're not wrong though
I would actually be impressed with the administration if they strategically decided to use aliens as a PR move specifically to distract from the topics listed.

IMO the “why” is far simpler, not a complicated ploy to distract people’s attention.

it's not complicated they're just flailing around, why do you think we're in a completely ineffective war with iran that has opposed pretty much all strategic advice

if the press is leaning towards a bad story, they release some other thing... they've been doing it all year

> why do you think we're in a completely ineffective war with iran

I don't know, but I do know it's not because of epstein.

I still have a smidge of faith in humanity. Maybe I shouldn't.

The last 6 months has been nothing but distraction lever-pulls away from the Epstein Files,

and strategy is easily outsourced to others.

how tf do you know they’re useless
