    But bluffing at what? In poker, and maybe politics, a bluff means convincing your opponent you might have a better hand than they do. Thus, hoping your opponent will do what you want, like fold and leave the game. If, as he says: ...what I...

    Or hopes we are. Hes using tropes and plot points from across the range of scifi/fantasy. It has all been used very profitably by Stephen King going back to "Firestarter," and by Steven Spielberg in "Close Encounters" and "E.T." Heck, before...

    It's more Stargate, but Jack O'Neil is a forest ranger. But you could literally say those words and be referring to a door with a lock in a forestry service building and not be lying in any way.

    I think we have another entry to the "It's not a balloon" file: "I know it all sounds like something out of science fiction, but believe me..." = It's sci-fi. Don't believe me.

    I don't know about Ross, I think he knows his audience. What I was trying to point out is that his claims are very unspecific, and hard evidence is always postponed. We've seen this with Elizondo, who used to claim AATIP had close-up photos of...

    John J. reacted to Ron Soye's post in the thread Ross Coulthart with Wow Wow.
    If you remember the "psionics" thing, Coulthart/NewsNation recently published what I believe is their first actual story about that after he teased it on Reddit many months ago: More recently, Ross started talking about a "portal" being...

    I agree with most of this post, except this last line. Close observation of the last half century of Trump's personal, business & political life reveals a basic lack of core values (about the only consistent thing in his life over those 50...

    I listened for the first time to the Rendlesham Forest tape and I'm wondering if this is actually proposed to be a live recording made during the event, or is it a reconstruction? http://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/Halt_tape.m4a I wonder because...

    I don't think No Party made that statement because of his confirmation bias. I think he made it because he is obsessed with finding any reason or made-up reason to make Trump and Republicans look bad.

    We're getting off topic, thanks to NoParty. But to put this nonsense to bed - there's a thing called the "Flutie Effect". There have been books written about this stuff and many studies. Here's one: Harvard Business School study...
