UFOs, Whistleblowers and Mysterious Deaths

[Rick Robson]

You let me know how it was!
I wasn't planning on watching it, but if test subjects think it's worth it, I might reconsider.

Okay man!

I'm not suggesting there is / was a conspiracy to kidnap UFO scientists. Mick had considered the distribution of deaths earlier, so the current conclusion is that the stats don't back it up, correct? Comer is now heading a House committee to look into it:

The whole thing is getting weird. Look at who they include in this blurb:

Chavez retired almost 10 years ago. Casias was an Administrative Assistant. Thomas was a cancer researcher at Novartis. And everyone is now jumping on the Eskridge case, even though she took her own life nearly 4 years ago.

I'm not trying to be crass or insensitive, but I think the inclusion of Eskridge is telling about this whole story. Her videos are difficult to watch, she seems to be agitated and somewhat unhinged. She has no filter as she drops F-bombs more than guys on a construction site, and her claims are completely un-evidenced. That is, she makes for good content. Including her works both ways. She is a brilliant iconoclast that has been silenced by the powers that be, or one is unfortunately watching a train-wreck go off the rails, either one is seen as compelling.

They're just making a story out of nothing. The video claims they were all working on high level space or nuclear programs:

No. They were not. As noted, Thomas was a cancer researcher and had zero to do with space, nuclear or UFOs. Garcia MAY have worked at a facility that makes the "non-nuclear parts" of nuclear weapons, so he may have been a factory worker. Nobody knows what Chavez did at LANL, other than he stopped doing it 10 years ago.

Again, not trying to be insensitive or morbid, but several of these cases, including Garcia and McCasland involved individuals going off alone with hand guns in New Mexico. Unfortunately, New Mexico has a high rate of suicide (bold by me):

Suicidal behaviors are a serious public health problem and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in New Mexico. In 2018, suicide was the ninth leading cause of death in NM, the second leading cause of death by age group for persons 5-34 years of age and the fourth leading cause of death by age group for persons 35-44 years of age.

Suicide deaths have been increasing in both New Mexico and the United States, with suicide death rates in NM at least 50% higher than U.S. rates over the past 20 years.

The US national rate has been around 14 per 100,000 for the last nember of years:

While Bernalillo county, which includes Albuquerque, LANL and Kirtland AFB, is not quite double the US rate:

Just saying that maybe they should be looking at known things before developing new conspiracy theories.

Yes, I also tried to watch a bit of Eskridge, and she seemed to be extremely agitated. I'm not suggesting she had a particular issue or disorder, and perhaps she was just extremely stressed. I was reminded of the symptoms I've read about in certain manuals. I've had conversations with individuals that remind me of her videos. They occurred at parties..

Does hypomania (and consequently BD type II -- BDII), has commonly been more frequently associated with female gender?

It might be. We could look it up.
