Trump certainly has an inept side and he's extremely ignorant, BUT he knows how to control people like a true sociopath and authoritarian. He’s consolidated complete power over the Republican Party and is in the midst of purging the FBI. It’s disheartening that such a clearly sick person is president, but the key is that no one should underestimate him or his evil intentions. That being said, Trump is still a criminal at heart and Seth Abramson writes here how Trump's erratic, crazy behavior indicates his guilt, particularly regarding Russian collusion. It's also interesting to consider that one way that Trump has control over the GOP is he has damaging info on them courtesy of the Russians. So Russia is blackmailing Trump, and Trump is blackmailing the GOP with the help of Russia, all with the goal of weakening US influence in the world. Oh, and our former DNI James Clapper came out and just said Trump is a Russian asset. 

The Trump White House talking about North Korea sounds eerily and increasingly like the George W. Bush administration in the run-up to the Iraq War. Officials make similar arguments about the necessity of acting against a gathering storm; proudly claim understanding of the adversary’s motivations; express frustration at countries that should be likewise alarmed at the problem not supporting American policy; and believe the sand is running out in the hourglass before military attacks are required. They admit no alternative interpretation of the facts. They are blithely dismissing enormous damage their policy would incur for regional allies. They seem innocent of understanding the disastrous and isolating consequences for America’s role in the world to choose preventive war rather than the moral heights of restraint in the face of threats. President Trump’s National Security Adviser, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, repeatedly indulges the same apocalyptic rhetoric: North Korea’s nuclea...

1) I just published a lot of comments on old posts that the blogger site automatically flagged as spam but that weren't spam. 2) I don't check these flagged comments very often, so I'm sorry if your comment got held up for a while. 3) I hardly ever check my spooked911@hotmail.com email anymore, so sorry if I've ignored your email. Best way to communicate with me is to comment on the top post. 4) I don't censor comments unless they are abusive or just obvious spam (flacking websites or products with no other value). 5) I try to post at least once a week here, but don't have the time for much in depth stuff, usually. 6) Thanks for reading and commenting! 7) I've heard rumors that blogger may shut down in the next couple of years... I will want to keep this site maintained in some form, and will keep you informed of any changes.

Reptilians who use bad Instagram filters...

Good interview here, author/reporter Leslie Kean on CNN: Her remarks on how other countries are not really interested in the UFO subject, in contrast to the US military, which publicly minimizes it & ignores it & mocks it, makes me think that the US military and US intel services knows damn well what is going on with UFOs/ETs. This fits with the idea of the evil alien PTB working with our military and struggling against the ET quarantine of our planet, and our leaders wanting to keep this secret. But it's certainly interesting that this is coming out now... is it because some people in the know are freaked out by the possibility of a quarantine escape event by the Trump admin ? Also this post . Here's the full-length video -- US military video-- of a UFO. Quite amazing this came out, at minimum.

Following up on my previous post, where I argued that the main thing that held me back from accepting the idea of real plane crashes was the flight 93 crash site, I finally realized why it is different. The thing about the WTC and Pentagon sites is that: 1) there's a big hole in the building into which the plane could *conceivably* disappear and break up, 2) we can't see the whole area around the WTC and Pentagon sites to get a comprehensive view of the debris field, particularly for the WTC, we can't see all around the bottom of the towers to see what plane parts didn't make it in (and there were some pieces that apparently came out such as landing gears, fuselage fragments and engine). Whereas for flight 93: 1) there is just dirt, and a hole, and it's really hard to see a HUGE plane going in that hole. 2) we can see the whole debris field around the "crash site" and there's NOTHING. We have a fairly clear set of evidence for the flight 93 site, and i...

I haven't done any significant 9/11 research in several years now, but I still think about it all the time as we navigate the current strange and disturbing political world of full GOP rule and President Trump. I just updated my current views on 9/11 here, and yes, my views are pretty far out there still. But based on the current available evidence , I have no choice. Here's something that I have softened on in the past few years, however: I think there is enough wiggle room and fuzziness over what happened in NYC and at the Pentagon so that it's POSSIBLE that the official story of flights 11, 175, 77 and WTC collapses is true. Given the right evidence (i.e. more views of plane crash debris and building debris and hi-res videos, if these existed and supported the official story), I MIGHT be able to buy the official story. That is, the official story of flights 11, 175, 77 and WTC collapses is still far-fetched-- but I can't rule it out completely, in part because the c...

and actually reported the topic seriously .... are the PTB possibly ramping up efforts for "disclosure"? I listened to the NYTimes podcast where they discussed this, and the two reporters were acting rather incredulous at first, like "come on, everyone knows UFOs are kook stuff", but they at least treated the story seriously. Reporters, assuming they are interested in the truth at all, really need to do some research on UFOs and the overwhelming evidence that they are a real phenomenon.

Because fuck you, that's why.

Love this headline: Congratulations, Steve Bannon, you just elected a Democrat in Alabama Seriously, how hard is it to get a Republican elected to the senate in deep red Alabama? But Bannon went all in for a complete nut, pedophile and bigot, Roy Moore. Because Steve Bannon is a racist blowhard who basically got really lucky with Trump's election. But do yourself a favor and read this Charlie Pierce piece on Moore's last campaign rally with Bannon. It was full-on Trumpism, in all it's idiocy and ignorance and bigotry: On Monday night, in Jordan’s Activity Barn, they had the last rally on behalf of Judge Roy Moore, the Republican candidate in Tuesday’s special election to replace Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III in the United States Senate. The whole event was lousy with pestiferous Bible-banging. Both reality and American history were fed into individual woodchippers. The theme of the night’s devotions was that Nobody Comes Into Alabama And Tells Us How To Vote. Thi...

The "USA Today" editorial page really really lays into Trump, after one disgrace too far. With his latest tweet, clearly implying that a United States senator would trade sexual favors for campaign cash, President Trump has shown he is not fit for office. Rock bottom is no impediment for a president who can always find room for a new low. (snip) A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush. This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt. Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed. It should...

President Donald Trump will recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on Wednesday despite intense Arab, Muslim and European opposition to a move that would upend decades of U.S. policy and risk potentially violent protests. Trump will instruct the State Department to begin the multi-year process of moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city, U.S. officials said Tuesday. It remains unclear, however, when he might take that physical step, which is required by U.S. law but has been waived on national security grounds for more than two decades. (snip) The officials said recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital will be an acknowledgement of “historical and current reality” rather than a political statement and said the city’s physical and political borders will not be compromised. They noted that almost all of Israel’s government agencies and parliament are in Jerusalem, rather than Tel Aviv, where the U.S. and other countries maintain embassies. (snip) The declaration of...

Gee, it's really hard to see how this could possibly lead to problems ... THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals. The sources say the plans have been pitched to the White House as a means of countering “deep state” enemies in the intelligence community seeking to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency. The creation of such a program raises the possibility that the effort would be used to create an intelligence apparatus to justify the Trump administration’s political agenda. “Pompeo can’t trust the CIA bureaucracy, so we need to create this thing that reports just ...

Trump and Pence appear to be in serious trouble, at minimum for obstruction of justice, now that Flynn has flipped. Trump is easily the worst president of my life-- a miserable, deluded, pathologically lying racist asshole. He cannot be removed from office soon enough. Impeach the motherfucker already.

The latest Republican tax bill is not just an unprecedented transfer of wealth from the bottom to the very top, but a fundamental restructuring of American society , from public education and health care to the separation of church and state... Paul Krugman believes only a party as rotten to its core as the GOP would draft such a bill, much less sign it into law. The Nobel Prize-winning economist has been railing against the proposal for weeks, and uses his latest column to remind readers just how disgraceful its rollout has been. When Republicans attempted to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) bleated about returning "regular order" to Congress. Apparently he's had a chance of heart, because the Senate is set to vote without holding a single public hearing. The Joint Committee on Taxation finds the GOP tax bill would do little to stimulate the economy and would add $1 trillion to the deficit over the next decade, but that hasn...

So awesome:
