If youre paying casual attention to the headlines it might feel as though theres been a shift in the extraterrestrial tides. These days, the existence of visiting extraterrestrials doesnt sound so unrealistic. According to former CIA agent John Ramirez, there's a reason for that.
After leaving the intelligence community, Ramirez has enjoyed a second career as a UFO aficionado, making the rounds of the podcast circuit to tell the world what he allegedly knows. In February 2023, he gave an interview on Podcast UFO, during which he warned of an oncoming alien revelation in 2027.
According to Ramirez, the recent disclosures, whistleblowers, and underwater discoveries are all part of an intentional narrative to prepare the population for the day the aliens show up; a day he says is only a few years away. Heres what Ramirez had to say, with minor edits for clarity.
Were kind of preparing the U.S. population at least, and by extension the world population, to that reality. That there is a presence here and that we need to explain this presence. Because if they show up and we continue to do what we did before in previous decades, there will be mass panic, Ramirez said.

I suppose we will find the truth of this soon enough but I found this interesting. Would I be surprised? Not at all.

I am so fucking sick of the paranoid contingent who believe they are living in the Truman Show and that there's this international apparatus comprising thousands of others who diligently construct artificial reality for them.
It seems that with any inane bullshit, you can reliably capture around 10% of the population, which I would bet without looking corresponds to the combined incidence of various mental illnesses and personality disorders.
I remember when one nutter who was a friend of the family was convinced that the movies Close Encounters was a government-sponsored production designed to "prepare us" for the big reveal. Although later, she claimed that the movie E.T. was an insidious plot to get our children used to feeling good about ugly things, because "they" were definitely planning something. First, "they" put UPC codes on EVERYTHING YOU BUY, and then "they" started requiring all those handicapped spaces in parking lots. Why was the government expecting a lot of handicapped people for some reason?
She received newsletters with all kinds of "news" that was being suppressed by the controlled media.
A never-ending buffet of total bullshit.

The only good reason to be talking about it now is to determine how we deal with the quarantine periods so we don't end up like the South American Indians after they greeted the Spaniards.

(8,387 posts)Religious people already believe in extraterrestrial beings, and would have the least problems with it. There are lots of Biblical references to UFOs and extraterrestrial beings, so I am puzzled by the assumption they would be surprised by things in which they already believe.
New World natives were susceptible to diseases brought by Europeans because humans are all the same species. It is unlikely that the biology of extraterrestrials would be anything like ours.

Hmm...so Elon Musk thinks we need to increase the human population, without any real interest in improving food sources or living areas. Just, hmmmm...
