I trust nothing that comes from the government.

“Every culture has folklore beings, and always has. Trolls, fairies, djinn, kitsune, windegos, vampires, etc, etc, etc. Every culture has stories about magical beings and some degree of actual belief in them.

A culture's magical beings tend to be related to the physical environment in which that culture exists. People who live by the sea imagine selkies and mermaids--sea beings. People who live by the mountains imagine trolls and goblins--mountain beings. Etc. Etc.

What sort of magical beings would be imagined by a culture that is defined and circumscribed by technology? Technological beings.

That's what aliens are. They are the magical beings of a society whose physical environment is synthetic. Our lifestyles are dominated by powerful machines, so our folklore has magical beings intrinsically associated with technological power.

Aliens are our trolls, our fairies, our djinn, our kitsune. (Whether that makes them more or less likely to be real is another topic.)”

Gee, I wonder having nothing but Demoncrap mayors for the last 25 or more years has anything to do with this....hmm. :idk:
It's a fundamental leniency on the punishment of crime. It is the core of the progressive movement.

If the outcome for committing heinous crimes was severe, things would change. And that means the death penalty.

So, taxpayers' foot the bill for years of incarcerating criminals that commit heinous crimes and then after millions are spent judicating their cases and keeping them housed, fed, and healthy they are released back into society.

Are the Chinese planning the ultimate bloodless war against the US?

"If you could plan the perfect war, it would be one that would completely destroy your enemy without any cost to your troops or infrastructure. Two recent news reports could be read to mean that China is preparing precisely that kind of war against the United States.

The first story to break was that, back in March, investigators discovered a Chinese-linked bio lab in Reedley, California, near Fresno. This wasn’t just a rogue blood test operation. Instead, it was a bioweapon delight:

Reedley officials and personnel from CDPH and FCDPH executed a warrant on March 16 to inspect the warehouse at 850 I Street. According to a declaration from Humero Prado, Assistant Director of Fresno County Public Health, which was filed in superior court, investigators discovered that one room of the warehouse was used to produce COVID-19 and pregnancy tests. In other rooms, investigators found blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples. They also found thousands of vials that contained unlabeled fluids.

“That’s when we found the mice,” said Zieba."

My comment: To me this is a big, big story. I want to see what the media and the Biden administration says about this.
