    #TruthBeTold

    I feel like saying every little thing out loud nonstop when the patriarchy shushed me throughout my life.

    #TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)

    still images of the surface of mars, mostly orange rocks; camera pans across the image, then it shows an ancient stone structure like roman ruins, partially buried in the sand on the surface of mars; the image has been modified to make it look like there are ancient ruins on mars.

    Even before LIGO made its first observations, scientists were able to observe gravity waves. In fact, scientists were making direct observations of gravity waves for more than 50 years before LIGO was built.

    There's a clever math trick to convert from Celsius to Centigrade without using a calculator…

    Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

    The Twilight Zone, To Serve Man (1962)

    A lot of people rate this episode as one of their favorite Twilight Zone episodes. It's about a first contact with an alien species that comes to Earth. I recently found out that this was based on a short story of the same name written by Damon Knight a dozen years earlier and it pretty much follows very closely to that story, accept in the short story the aliens are humanoid pigs while in the Twilight Zone episode they're just tall, 350-pound humanoids called Kanimits.

    The Kanimits don’t talk like humans, they use a voice synthesizer. They promise the people of Earth that they will share their advanced technology with humans for the betterment of humanity. But people are skeptical and they give the alien representative a lie detector test which the alien passes.

    This episode is highly recommended.

    Accessible video description:

    a black and white video of one of the aliens who is seated with wires hooked up to him taking a lie detector test, the alien is dressed in a white robe and has a large, bald head with dark circles under his eyes, two humans are in the room operating the equipment which shows the needles of the chart recorder on a polygraph machine.

    (fair use clip from the episode in which the alien demonstrates how to pass a polygraph test.)

    All of these quotes that I have just tooted out under the hashtag #weaselalien were the exact quotes that that guy, David Grusch and others have said that the media have picked up on and assumed meant that space aliens had landed on earth and that the government had taken their spaceship and are hiding it somewhere and not telling anybody about it.

    All of those quotes are innocuous, they're just carefully worded and placed together to make everyone believe that they're talking about space aliens.

    That's right, this guy, David Grusch, and the media are doing a big Truth-Be-Told on the whole country! 😂

    The International Space Station and other space vehicles were assembled in space, so we are already making space vehicles in space.

    Here's another quote...

    ... he had briefed Defence Department officials, regarding objects from "off-world vehicles not made on this Earth."

    It would be foolish to assume that the US Defense Department does not have plans for capturing enemy satellites and analyzing them or to use them in some manner to our own advantage.

    Here's another quote...

    ... he knew of a secret government program "involving the analysis and exploitation of materials recovered from off-world craft."

    The Joro spider (Trichonephila clavata), is a large species of spider from Japan that has come to the US. They have exceptionally strong silk and create unusual webs.

    Small, young Jobo spiders may use ballooning to disperse themselves. Ballooning is when a spider releases a long strand or strands of web to catch the wind and float away for long distances. The spiders are little pilots flying their vehicles. It would be incorrect parlance to call those spacecraft.

    This exotic spider silk and the ballooning have been studied for a variety of applications.

    It is likely that the US Defense Dept. has studied this for possible military applications, such as for dispersal of listening devices or for use in quickly extricating soldiers from a battlefield.

    As part of this research, scientists would need to recover those little spider crafts to study them.

    Here's another quote...

    "These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, it’s probably not the right parlance, but no-kidding, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed."
