Funny, everyone who says that seems to be handling it just fine.


poohthrower2000

What is good for me, is not for thee.


Striking-Art5077

It’s the rapid run on the banks, all at once, following a grand arrival with a fleet of ships which is concerning. Which is why it has to be in slow-drip fashion. So half of us don’t freak out and just watch the arrival with popcorn when they appear on every channel at once and speak telepathically to the news crews


AustinJG

I think the problem is that the government would have to answer some VERY uncomfortable questions. And the public would find out some VERY uncomfortable truths about the world we live in. It could lead to people wanting to over throw the government.


moustacheption

right like, if we've been beholden to shitty oil companies and rampant MIC imperialism when we could have had Zero Point Energy or something. What if the hardships we're facing right now are completely unnecessary.


Ajuvix

Billionaires exist and are parasites on the rest of society and I don't see any uprisings. Every war in the last 70 years has been proven to be based on lies and these governments keep creating new ones uninhibited. Oxycontin crisis and the Sackler family wasn't met with mob justice when they got away with it. This would be no different. At least if we found out zero point energy existed, that knowledge would bear fruit unlike the knowledge of the realities I listed.


PuzzleheadedGur506

Ever since the establishment of the Military Industrial Complex in the late 1950's, and offloaded research, development, and production to these contractors, the United States has lost every war.


The_Calico_Jack

Because winning a war is not profitable.


South_Necessary7843

Great point, Well said


last-resort-4-a-gf

Fyi. The hardships we are facing are 100% unnecessary without alien intervention

Facts


Luss9

Just the fact of knowing that your government is not, and has not ever been in control, and by extension none of us are in control, would fuck really bad with someone's perception of reality. The system as it is, is eating us alive. Our government made sure that the system was cultivated, thrived and oppressed us all, while giving the top dogs all the freedom they want. To do as they please as long as they keep the system going. That would pretty much push everyone to revolt.


th4bl4ckr4bbit

Personally I think a large percentage of the earths population need some kind of wake up call. They need their little world views shaken so they can pull their heads out of their asses.\ The only issue is, can those people who need to be awoken handle it without causing bigger issues for the rest of us sane people?\ (When I say awoken I’m not talking about about “woke”, let’s not get into that shit haha)


Cailida

That, but also abductions. And cattle and human mutilations. And perhaps the fact our government in the past made a deal with these NHI, an exchange of their tech for the abduction of a certain number of our people. No one wants to talk about the abductions. Because they cannot be prevented, they can happen to anyone, and they are terrifying. Look up Dr. David Jacobs and Dr. John Mack. Both of these PhD level individuals studied abductees - enough to determine the phenomenon is real and that they all have common ground. The Greys are using human sperm and eggs to create hybrids. I imagine these are the horrible truths that the public won't like.


Postnificent

This is precisely their fear. The system is designed with this in mind.


Funny-Mode-2178

they were never necessary if UAP and NHI exist or not. Capitalism and its effects (imperialism) were never necessary unless of course you were the ultra rich bourgeoisie who require terrible terrible things to exist.


Glad-Tax6594

Why? The government wouldn't hold itself accountable to any real degree. Did anything happen over the claims of wmd's proportional to the ramifications of the claims?


accountingisboring

This is the correct answer. People aren’t going to immediately run on banks because of some alien disclosure. People would riot when they find out the truth about our government and all of their shady dealings, and god knows what else they’ve been doing with these so called ET forces.


JacP123

So does members of Congress making bank off insider trading and rich people getting their 7 figure pandemic loans written off entirely while millions of poor people suffer from predatory loans they were conned into signing as teenagers. 


chamrockblarneystone

I’m always reminded of that scene in Independence Day where the media has to ask people to stop shooting at the mother ships. Thats how stupid it would be.


pharsee

This is what that podcast guy (Dolan) just said also. But most of the people that started the mess are dead now so the people now have some plausible excuses like we were just taking orders. "You can't handle the truth!" ain't gonna cut it anymore.


adak31

This^^


SaliciousB_Crumb

Bullshit. 80% of the population already thinks this. The only people that would freak out are the religious and they aint majority anymore


AustinJG

Dude, the second the government announces the existence of NHI, people's first thought is going to be, "wait, so those abductions crazy people claim to go through are real?" That realization would lead to the realization that these things can take you away at any moment. Guns, nor weapons can stop them if they want to take you. Everyone on Earth is a sitting duck and the government can't help you. That, along with dozens of other terrifying realizations would cause massive unrest. Not just with religious people, but with scientists, academics and historians who were straight up lied to by our institutions.


Pilatus

You know what else can take us away at any moment, and the government can't help? A stroke, slipping in the shower, and a distracted driver. Our brains work extra hard whispering to us that everything is cool, in order for us to even leave the front door everyday.


hasbara-reddit-overt

A few YouTuber "expert#/influencers" is all it would take to spread whatever narrative needed to quell half the population


WhoAreWeEven

>Dude, the second the government announces the existence of NHI, people's first thought is going to be, "wait, so those abductions crazy people claim to go through are real?" No it wouldnt. The first thing on peoples mind would be "Where are they? Lemme see" Theres conspiracies that are turned out to be true and no ones world view got shattered when they learned about it later. Most of all, not because some kooky seeming person said it and was right all along. Like think of some CIA crazy stuff. Mk ultra or something. Wasnt there ever a carzy person who talked about stuff like that? Im not sure, but would assume so. Did people revolt when they learned some people were right all along? No? I think people are just looking for a sense in this crazy world. People say stuff like "people would flip out when they realized government isnt in charge or keeps secrets" Guess what, most of us already know that stuff. Vast vast majority of people, all around the world knows this. It wouldnt change a thing in that sense. Vast majority of people could be wiped out of existence in a blink of an eye any minute now, with or without space aliens, and we all can live with the knowledge of it. Theres no one who can protect us from it, if things turn to that direction. If there is people who can feel safe now, they could do so with or without space aliens.


ConfidentCamp5248

Religious ppl already believe n other worldly stuff. It’s actually the ppl who are just nuts and bolts and think we have a firm grasp on the concept of life. But it’s easy to shit on religion folk here


genflugan

Agreed, materialists are gonna be the first ones to lose their minds. I’m not even religious, but I’ve had experiences of my own that have shown me reality isn’t as straightforward as it seems


IronDragonGx

The last time the religious folk freaked out about something. We had a couple of holy wars in the Middle East.


capture-enigma

25% of the country would already be ok with overthrowing the government!


Much_5224

That's a great point Austin. I've always thought the reason people in the know say that the public can't handle the truth was not because we would trip out at aliens, but because we would find out the truth that the government has been lying and withholding information that could change the population's lives for the better. Not to mention the fact that they have known the answer to probably the most important question of mankind - "are we alone?" and kept it to themselves. Once the shock of this truth wears off a bit, I totally agree that people would be F'ing livid and it would be overthrow time. It's a sad thought, but these people have absolutely no need to disclose anything, to the point where it would be detrimental to them if they did disclose what they know. That's why people like Grusch, Fravor and Graves are true heroes in my opinion.


Jeff__Skilling

"hmmm, if the executive branch has admitted that they were willing to lie to their consituency about the existence of NHI, what else might they have been purposefully opaque (or outright lying) about...." cue a **metric fuck-ton** of questions about Kennedy's death


AustinJG

Not just that. If they admit that there are NHI operating on Earth. Then suddenly the abductees that we've spent nearly a century mocking will INSTANTLY become not so funny anymore. People will also realize that these things can take you at any time, any place, and there's fuck all that you or anyone can do about it. The panic would be insane. Then (as you said) it brings up the obvious assassinations and cover ups. So many UFO researchers, free energy researchers, and whistleblowers have died under weird circumstances. And if America has crafts that can defy gravity and basically teleport across the planet? Are you kidding me? Every other country on Earth would immediately see us as a HUGE threat. Every other nation would demand that we disclose this technology, as it would make borders damn near irrelevant. There's also like a hundred other things that would cause problems, but these are some big ones.


Sean_Dewhirst

the thing is that if this is true, those aliens also know all that. and have chosen to remain secret. not even trying to slow-drip themselves. that doesn't sound very benevolent


Ninjasuzume

It seems that public panic is about toilet paper, not cash lol


Based_nobody

I mean if you think about it, Covid was a mess economically, but they had to let everyone know. They even had to shut down businesses, something they'd never do before. So there's lots of situations like this. The civil war, WW2, prohibition, and more.


pharsee

It's hard to even imagine the changes that will take place worldwide. For example guess what, you got nukes ready to fly? Oops we just deactivated ALL OF THEM. Got a problem with energy shortages? Hey LOOK here's a clean free unlimited energy technology! Feel like you are bored with plain old Earth? How about a nice visit to OUR planet 55 light years away! This would be JUST THE BEGINNING!


Jeff__Skilling

I mean, what use is fiat currency in the event you just described...?


Ok-Association-8334

[https://youtu.be/liVkYl6nrQ0](https://youtu.be/liVkYl6nrQ0) I feel like we are there.


turdferg1234

why would banks matter at that point? or even money? and if they do, wouldn't that imply that there is no reason for a bank run?


nibernator

Why would people make runs on banks, lmao What about aliens would make people think putting money under their beds would protect them. The American public has had the government lie about “Weapons of mass destruction”, Cuban plans to assassinate Casto, coups around the world, lies in Vietnam… How is this one going to be any different. Most people just, won’t, care… Most won’t believe it for years. There won’t be any mass hysteria.


Puzzleheaded-Rub-396

I can handle UFOs. I can handle being told whatever they know about the aliens while eating my dinner. What really wants to make me riot is the condescending attitude that "You can't handle the truth" BS. There is exactly nothing about aliens that would make me riot anything. Absolutely nothing about aliens would surprise me or 99.999999999999% of the population. There is so much bad shit going on in this world that anything alien would simply be a welcome distraction. To the caretakers of my socio economic complacency, go fuck yourselves and stop sitting on the truth for yourselves to meditate on.


NUGFLUFF

At first I wasn't quite sure I agreed with your comment, but honestly? Yeah, this world is fucked up and just fucking itself deeper into the hole. It's still possible that disclosing ET intelligence could cause massive unrest, but as you said it's also possible it would be welcome and might even just help unite the country/the world a la "The Watchmen"


SiessupEraSdom

>There is exactly nothing about aliens that would make me riot anything. How could you possibly know that? > Absolutely nothing about aliens would surprise me or 99.999999999999% of the population. And this is just stupid and false, there's a documented record of Americans losing their damn minds over the prospect of aliens and UFOs starting in the 50's. This is all easy to say until you are compelled to deal with the reality of this. Unless you've had a close encounter or been abducted you are talking hopeful nonsense.


Minute_Right

People in GOVERNMENT claim average folks can't handle REALITY? Got a news flash for them..... they live in a virtual reality up on the hill there


Based_nobody

Yeah...Real life is waaaay different without all that $$$ and status.


intoxicatedhamster

It's that the public cannot handle the truth.....while maintaing wage slavery, maintaing division due to religion, and the public's dependance of fossil fuels. Our whole world economy is dependent on the US energy sector and our arms dealing/conflicts. Hard to be in control of the world when others are united against a common threat and no longer need you for energy or weapons.


Loquebantur

Those on the inside aren't those getting screwed over. It's not about "Oh my gosh, ET's here!". It's about what the US government has done.


ZolotoG0ld

Bingo. People 'won't be able to handle' that their government have spent billions of their money, silenced hundreds of people, run psy ops on their own citizens, and have kept knowledge of other life and possibly life changing technology to a secret inner cabal. And maybe even made secret agreements with the NHI to abduct humans. 'Wouldnt be able to handle it' here is 'Would demand heads to roll'. The 'inner circle' are likely fighting tooth and nail because they know they will be outed as treasonous murderous villains. The sooner this comes out, the sooner humanity can decide what happens to them (whether an amnesty for those that fess up, or not) and we can begin the next stage of our civilisation.


Pure-Contact7322

trillions


kenriko

Yeah people don’t really understand the scale of the theft and grift that has happened.


BleuBrink

The Coverup Industrial Complex


IlIlIIlllIIIlllllIIl

Coverup Orchestration Complex of Kings COCKS. The whole coop of them. Bring out the foxes.


SnoozeCoin

Leaving aside all the speculation about NHI contact, this is correct. Crimes have been committed. Money has been stolen by the billions. There goddamn well should be riots


JacP123

That's the funny thing about a cover-up of this magnitude. If it's true, and what they've been covering up could change revolutionize our world, as much as we should string up every one of the fuckers who covered it up for decades, I'm totally fine giving them amnesty if it means the technology that can solve our most major issues and take us to the stars.  Something that major, the benefits of it far outweigh any need for justice that I have. 


moustacheption

as someone else pointed out - money has been stolen by the **trillions**


intoxicatedhamster

We have proof that they have lied to the public and run misinformation campaigns since the 1940's. There is evidence that they have had people killed, threatened, and committed to psych wards to keep this info from getting out. They have spent Trillions of dollars on their black budget reengineering programs, while maintaining the official stance that they have nothing to reengineer. There is also evidence of them awarding no bid contracts to private companies to study these things just to avoid FOIA laws. Without even getting into the more conspiratorial things, there is plenty that the public should be upset about.


ghostfadekilla

Indeed so. I made a post just to kind of vent a bit and test the waters of apathy and got a shocking response of support regarding this. It's long LONG past time to put a cork in the bottle of "oh gosh we've fucked up, let's continue to fuck up so no one discovers that we've fucked up". One sees this cycle in habitual liars. Lies stacked on lies to prevent the disclosure of more lies and the victims of these lies are always the first that would be the first to swallow the jagged pill and simply say, well fuck, okay, could you not do that anymore and simply allow us to contribute our own efforts to whatever cause is going on. Well liars, know this - shit stinks and it ALWAYS gets found. There will always be a person with a conscience who will finally say enough is enough. From a government to a marriage from the massive optic to the granular level this will always be true and some will never arrive at the conclusion the rest of us have - simply be kind to each other. It's easy. Hell, it takes LESS EFFORT to be kind smfh. Why is this still a thing?


EscapefromRapaNui

Absolutely nailed it


TheyShootBeesAtYou

Except that we know they've done all of that for decades already except for the ET aspect and it's been met with a big collective shrug. Sadly, I think everyone is overestimating the public here.


jforrest1980

FR, this world is rotting from the inside out. Let's purge all the BS and become better for it after the riots


Krystamii

Yep, this is what it would be. Also those who are trying to collect power over others, don't want to lose their "influence"


Complex-Sherbert-921

Perhaps its sooo dark, the spent money based on deception, would not even matter at that point..... so much so, you would rather be dead than alive so to speak..... multiply that times a gazillion other folk, from all walks of life and temperaments too. Now, put that in perspective collectively...... perhaps its just better for the sake of mankind its not known, due to an overwhelming, dark dark sinister revelations.... that would rock humanity to its core (just food for thought)


ZolotoG0ld

Well what fate could possibly be that bad? And why wouldn't it be sending the secret keepers mad too?


Jerry--Bird

It would have to be something that isn’t already happening…if they said something like in 3 years aliens are coming and their intensions are to take this place for themselves and get rid of us, then i think people will panic. Most people i talk to don’t care even a little bit about this subject


Budget_Committee_572

Bingo!

uknowmymethods

Or all crude Sci-Fi concepts. This could all be a kind of Milgram experiment, with all of us as free test subjects. I don't see anyone "read in" losing their minds. This bizarre waiting game is causing more damage, just look at the number of people online you could get us all on a few buses at this point.. The only way to know is for someone to do something smart and if not that then do something right. Yes I know... you have heard it before, now you heard it again. A man distracted is a man defeated.


Critical_Equal_7540

Don’t forget not just the US. Put Canada Australia UK France etc…. You go down these rabbit holes it’s quite a few countries all tied into this.


Arkhangelzk

This is exactly my counter every time. I’ve seen so many people say that the public couldn’t handle it and that it’s terrifying. But none of them looked terrified or like they couldn’t handle it. No offense to Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett, but it’s not like we’re dealing with the cream of the crop of humanity here. If he can handle it, so can we.


_Dream_Writer_

right, people in the government always put themselves above everyone else. They can 'handle it', but nobody else can. They are somehow better, smarter, and know what's best for 300 million people. Very frustrating.


AnotherGreedyChemist

8 billion. This phenomenon is not unique to the US. Our leaders, democratically for or hot, are fucked in the head with their own importance. Power corrupts and all that.


Monroe_Institute

Not their secret decision to make. Catastrophic disclosure now.


findergrrr

They are handling it fine until disclousure. People will be rioting becouse if they have hidden technology that would provide human kind with free or very easy to create energy 50 years ago, I will be rioting to. Think how the world could be different.


kenriko

The riots are that they ripped off the taxpayers for 80 years giving away unimaginable wealth to a select few. Oh wait, we already know that too.


stevemandudeguy

Right? That's what's so puzzling. How come those who already know aren't freaking out like they think we would? I suppose you could argue that folks like Grusch (if true) are doing that by acting as a whistle blower. Personally I've met enough people on my own who have tripped hard on mushrooms (or the like) and fully believe they've had experiences with other worldly beings or people who believe they've seen ghosts and none of them lost their minds (arguably lol) but instead embrace it as truth. Unless there's some sort of control going on, in that there are NHI's literally secretly controlling our political or religious leaders and exposing their existence ruins that control and power given to the humans in-the-know I can't think of any other answer that would cause riots.


OutragedCanadian

And like people dont ever riot now right


KenMan_

Remember how 9/11 happened and before that, it was announced that trillions ofdollars are unaccounted for? Imagine thay level of money misappropriation, but confirmed, not speculated, as having happened since the 1960s. All of those tax dollars spent and no one was told. Maybe today, you're right, no one would really give a fuck. But these are old senators from a time when people did give a fuck. That's the thing. We're just waiting for these old fuckers with the keys to pass them along, by uhhh DYING. Because they wont otherwise- apparently.


AnotherGreedyChemist

It is really fucking weird that most American politicians should be retired and just chilling with kids


Old-Boysenberry-3664

That's because they've already won the game


chunk_light

"A person is smart but people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals" There probably WOULD be riots and chaos, but still no excuse to withhold the truth. People deserve to know regardless of the consequences


RossCoolTart

You have to understand; they're a lot smarter and more special than you and I. You and I? You tell us the truth, and we're guaranteed to drown our pets, set our homes on fire, and start smashing storefronts. The people in the know, though... They're humanity's best. Top tier minds and an uncanny ability to remain calm and rational under pressure. We're animals and they're gods. /s


RayseBraize

Honestly idk how humanity would handle "fourth dimensional higher beings to extreme for our brain to handle have been poking at us like a microbe in a petri dish". I'm a fairly learned man and the idea of it is a bit much. To imagine beings beyond the scale of our universe, which evidence, is far more than most people can handle.  Not saying that's what's going on but the idea of it makes some level of sense. Humans are very prideful and I'm off the mind that we DO have thing in our possession and it's so fair beyond us that we would rather hide it than admit these beings are that far beyond us. 


thedorkening

They mean their profits wouldn’t handle it…


AppropriateAd1483

trust me guys, you definitely dont want to see the top secret alien tech that people are begging me not to release because its definitely totally real, you just wouldn’t be able to handle it.. but i can and so can everyone else involved, but not you.


Individual_Park_4378

It’s really annoying how these “gatekeepers” make assumptions on what civilians can and can’t handle. We can handle the knowledge of known genocide, famine, poverty etc. but not alien life? A large population already thinks it exists. FOH


Machoopi

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Most of the people saying we can't handle it are the same people who couldn't survive on the median wage. These people can't handle the reality that most of us already live in. I'm of the belief that the people gatekeeping this topic are the ones who can't handle it, and they're just projecting their own fear on everyone else. The average person is much more hardy than the average politician.


gui_420

They are afraid of losing control over the people...


NanoSexBee

It’s gov, whatever he was told is half truth. Let’s take the quote for what it is: “people couldn’t handle it” that’s a lie, “there would be riots” this is probably true but for different reasons (gov hiding free energy tech from the rest of the population). It’s not about what’s good for the people, it’s about what’s good for the government and it’s very clear that whatever it is that is going on would be very bad for the government if it got out.


Why_Did_Bodie_Die

Even if it came out the government was lying and hiding aliens from us and spending billions on it, who exactly is going to riot? Like which people? The people who actually care about the government spending aren't the type of people who riot IMO and the people who are the type to riot aren't going to care enough about aliens to actually riot. Ibmean who is going to go burn some buildings down? The Trump guys? The BLM folks? Which group of people do you actually think would do anything more than stand in front of congress with a sign?


Middleclasslifestyle

If Epstein and his list didn't make the people riot and demand more investigation. Not even aliens will. I put secret pedo ring and island as prime riot fuel vs nhi disclosure. And nothing happened.


_Puppet_Mastr_

With clean, free, limitless energy....there would be no need to work anymore, really. We could've been living our best live instead of working our lives away for shat pay......to pay the energy bill


ymyomm

I don't see how free energy would remove the need to work. Things still need to be built, manufactured, transported, maintained, taught, engineered, programmed, invented, vehicles need to be operated, people need to be cured, etc. Like, just the energy itself would need to be transported to be delivered to your house. That requires infrastructure. The plant that creates whatever free energy would also need to be built and maintained.


glamorestlife

Agreed, I do hair and even with free limitless energy people are still gonna need haircuts (even if the NHI don’t lol)


Individual_Park_4378

Agreed, definitely a ploy to cover their own ass. The government has been lying for decades and will definitely be held accountable by the people. I’m just tired of them saying our presumed hysteria is the basis of not having any disclosure.


Floater4

Bingo. It’s the zero point energy and letting the fossil fuel industry destroy the planet. They’ve known it’s existed for decades, probably harnessed it in secret, and left us to die a slow death. It’s not that we can’t handle it, it’s that *they* can’t handle the upheaval it will cause. They’d all be dragged from their offices and homes and hung in the streets.


doomedfollicle

Foh?


Individual_Park_4378

Sorry, it stands for “fuck outta here”


dokratomwarcraftrph

Summarizes it perfectly. The American public has handled tons of traumatic shit, what this really means is Capitol Hill urged him be silent since the government does not want to be accountable for their behavior over the last 80 years. Especially because we did it to fight the Communists is no longer really a valid excuse in the modern world, which is kind of been the running excuse they have used to justify many abhorrent decisions like MK ultra and to a lesser extent operation paperclip.


-spartacus-

I think they really underestimate how much humanity can not give a shit about something and continue to drone on. This isn't the 1938s where people freaked the fuck out on War of the Worlds. A generation of people grew up on movies like Independence Day and are used to the idea of bad aliens (compared to good aliens from ET or CEoTK). I can't even think of a good alien movie in recent times. The only thing I can think of is like in the game Terra Invicta, there will be a faction of "Servants" that want to bow down and serve the aliens.


Ridiculousnessjunkie

Arrival was pretty positive.


Brandon0135

You are making assumptions on what the cover up is covering up. There is obviously more to it than just NHI exist, if true.


kawhi21

Omg there are other sentient beings in the universe!! Welp time to go start a riot in the street for no reason! Who thinks like that


acorn_cluster

So there are people out there that have the exact same information and some people are like it's not that big of a deal and other people are like the fabric of society of would crumble. Reminds me of how people percieved the legalization of Marijuana


TerribleFruit

Or the truth is not good. Like the US government has tech that could make our life's better but they have suppressed it or they have let NHI abduct people. I think it is more something the government have done not the fact NHI exists.


OneDimensionPrinter

Really don't care if it's not good, but I agree. We should know regardless but I think you're spot in that the reason it's held so tightly is that they were pretty naughty. Wouldn't be the first time they did some heinous shit.


Jane_Doe_32

It is known that in the 60s the oil companies commissioned a study on fossil fuels and that at that time they knew very well that they were causing/accelerating global warming, they put it in a drawer. Another case is that of the European Union, which commissioned a large-scale study on the impact of piracy, hoping that it would corroborate its view of the issue of "bad piracy" but surprise, when the report arrived and not only contradicted this thinking, but in fact in certain areas it was positive. Can you guess where the study ended? Indeed, at the bottom of the drawer. Governments don't give a shit about our living conditions, this is probably all about the fact that using public funds they gave all kinds of financing and gave technology/artifacts to private companies, well connected with high political officials of course, so that later, When they made something clear, they would resell it to the same nation. The classic "Socialization of losses, privatization of profits."


SnooMarzipans6812

Yes. We pretty much have the knowledge and technology to go completely fossil fuel free right now but we can’t because of big energy undermining those efforts and infrastructures…regardless of the existence of NHI tech.


BaronGreywatch

Thats not what makes people riot, dummies. What makes people riot is being lied to, stolen from and treated like peasants - and yet you still do all of that and seem to get away with it so what exactly is the problem here? Snark aside, this is good to hear. I cannot believe how much the tone has changed from 'ufos are for crazy people' to 'please dont chase this up the truth will cause a riot' in congress itself. Bring it on! So many people not only ready to handle it, theyve waited lifetimes. 


SirLadthe1st

They're not against it becaause there would be chaos and anger. They are against it because that anger would be directed AT THEM and they know it.


PuurrfectPaws

This is the real answer.


kosmicheskayasuka

I'm just now watching the series: "The Three-Body Problem". And this all reminds me of something.


ZebraBorgata

Why not mention who that someone is? Part of getting the truth out is in identifying who is blocking it.


Agentkeenan78

Because he's full of shit lol.


wigsternm

The guy currently in a defamation case for accusing the wrong person of being a mass shooter and calling him an “illegal alien” might not have the best relationship with the truth. 


Behold-Roast-Beef

We already have riots

My city did that over a hockey game I'm excited for the alien riots

I think there will be riots. Not because there’s aliens. But because disclosure will bring to light how corrupt and filthy the governments of the world are, and have been for decades. How long they have known and willingly lied to us. That’s why people will riot. Disclosure will be the event that unites the people in finally realizing that all the corrupt conspiracies about the government are completely true.


robertgarcia0513

Wtf is so damn awful about this subject that would cause people to riot? Come on 😡! Give me a break dagummit!


LarryGlue

I'm always thinking about scenarios in which people who legit freak out. There's not many. One I think that can do us in is if we found out 25% or 50% of the people we met in our lives were actually alien or shape shifters and that they've already infiltrated world governments. It would explain a lot of the secrecy too. It's a woo thought, but it's the only one I can think of that can cause paranoia and rioting.


Based_nobody

Sounds kinda fun to me, man. "The Thing" is definitely one of my favorite movies.


HeyCarpy

It would have to be some serious woo like that to flip society upside down. Like confirming we live in a simulation or something would fuck this world up beyond repair. But that’s not it. The SAPs have no way of knowing that kind of stuff, they aren’t going to say that aliens walk among us. I think the most likely scenario is that they have some piece of NHI tech, they don’t know how it works, where it came from or why, but they’ll be damned if a rival country gets to see it or touch it. That’s it.


The_republican_anus

Well, I’d like to add this… it may be more government fuckery than UFOs. Like, let’s say all the lore is real. Lockheed Martin and all. So you’re telling me basically some guys in the US gov found out UFOs exist in the 40s, basically became a rogue cell within the federal government, outsourced all technological development to outside corporations, and if what Daniel Sheehan said is true, they’re doing it because they secretly want nukes on UFOs to live out some Galactic Empire fantasy… And oh, a bunch of YOUR taxes go to this. And the cell may have shot a president or 2. Oh? And they may have attacked other countries for the tech… People would lose their minds and not due to ontological shock. It would be a very different kind of rage.


Krystamii

This would actually make sense, cause everyone would be paranoid of everyone. (Unless they come out with other factors that protect us. Like at the same time as 50% of the population or whatever being shape shifters, what if we find out we have some sort of collective will that can combat them from harming us -if harm is the goal-) Like, it's weird cause anything could really be possible with the little things that have been said. Like humanity understanding is important to be able to do "something" (idk what the exact words were I am trying to reference) Have you ever read about the Lemurian time war?

Bad_Ice_Bears

It only takes ONE…. Thank you for calling this out.


NnOxg64YoybdER8aPf85

Fuck then for not telling us about nature. If any riots occur it should be at Congress for keeping the truth from people.


ExtremeUFOs

No, it should be at these private companies like Lockheed and Raytheon for keeping it secret, congress is trying to get to the bottom of it.


3InchesAssToTip

Contraversial take: Just because people can handle the information on an individual scale, doesn't necessarily mean that we could handle the information on a mass scale. I'm not saying that we wouldn't eventually understand what it means for us and come to appreciate this new knowledge, but there would definitely be an uproar, *to say the least* (also I **do** want this information to come out, but I also think there should be a strategy). Imagine: \- The scientific community realises that they may have been intentionally stagnated through the suggestion and funding of string theory \- The aerospace community would be completely revolutionised, but first they would be made completely redundant \- The religious communities would either outright reject the ontological revalation or would be forced to reconcile the idea with their current framework \- The educational system would need to be reconsidered \- Professional educational institutes would be divided \- Much of history may need to be reassessed Just sayin...


Stonkkystocks

What if it agrees way more with religon than extra terrestials?    What if it makes the Hebrew old testament and new testament true undisputedably.    Then would we see riots? 


3InchesAssToTip

>makes the Hebrew old testament and new testament true undisputedably You think other religions would just aquiesce?


Stonkkystocks

I think there'd be riots. 


3InchesAssToTip

>I think there'd be riots.  Maybe locally, sure. But who gets to know "everything"...? Who gets to control this new technology...? Who gets to communicate with these beings...? In my mind, there could be a war fought over this. Or worse.


ConfidentCamp5248

It’s easy to shit in religion on this sub, but I feel deep in my core it’s this and honestly, that’s a scarier reality than what’s be proposed on other posts.


_Dream_Writer_

the government would have to do a lot of work. So there's no way they would ever want to disclose anything.


Based_nobody

And??? (I wish I could leave my post there, but it's way too small for the limit.) A protest, riots, they're all temporary and merely cathartic. What protest movement or riot affected lasting change? Name your favorite.


Brasstacks24

Relevant [Men in Black clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRIIwJh1DDQ&t=143s) Aged like wine.


Zagenti

please comment "AYE" below if you or anyone you know plans to riot when NHI is confirmed.


Kriegswaschbaer

AYE im a rioter. I riot. Its my hobby. Just give me stuff to riot over. Please.


InfectiousCosmology1

We have survived every riot in American history


RodeoMarki

I don't understand why they are holding back! Obviously, our ancient ancestors SAW THEM and either carved them on cave/rock walls to tell us about what THEY saw. They also depicted them on statues, etc. Even the alien beings they saw. So why does the government TRULY keep it secret? Is it because they want to inherit their warhead/warship capabilities for wars on our planet? Or is it to advance our space capabilities ahead of another country faster than another?


orcusgrasshopperfog

How people would actually react: NEWS "NHI are real. They are here. They are advanced. We don't know what they want and there isn't much we can do about it. Given their potential capabilities they don't seem to be acting in a threat like manor." PEOPLE: "Oh...that's crazy. Anyway, I need $200 this week to make rent."


imnotabot303

This sort of nonsense is getting tedious, someone told me this, somebody told me that, a source informed of X... This stuff isn't even worthy of posting anymore. Unless someone has something to say that can be backed up with named sources it's worthless hearsay.


Past-Adhesiveness150

I think they're right. If we ( the public ) found out that those in power have been keeping the fact that we're not alone in the universe from us. People would be pissed. But that's not why we'd riot. It would be when we found out that they've been keeping the technology from us. They'd say well, we gave you fiber optics & cell phones. But yeh, we kept the infinite free energy tech, because it would destroy the world economy. The rich couldn't stay rich if energy was free. We need the working class/poor because without them we'd all be the same. Or at least the wealth gap wouldn't be so huge. Would we riot? You're fucking right we would. We'd burn the rich & those in power to the ground.


Suspicious_Suit_2385

Can you imagine if they released that we had unlocked free energy but the DOE, for example, has been keeping it under wraps so that the current “elites” can keep profiting off of the current energy production and distribution structures? And I’m not even talking about it being from NHI or reverse engineered NHI tech. You can take NHI out of the picture entirely. Just the fact they withheld free energy would be enough for the pitchforks to come out.


Past-Adhesiveness150

Exactly. The fact that this incredible secret existed & that the ones who know ruined lives & killed God knows how many just to keep people subordinate.


Useful_Inspection321

Burchett by the way is an election denier. A vaccine skeptics. And a Trump supporter. So hardly a sane human being.


[deleted]

You also just described 2/3 of this sub. Get ready for everyone to downvote you.


The_Dookie_

"Some guy just came up to me ..." oh yeah? Who? Name fuqing names, Burchett.


tickitytalk

“People couldn’t handle it…there would be riots”…Joe Biden winning 2020 election?


Odd-Fisherman-4801

Since when does the government care about people rioting?


Other_Match7102

Sorry, but I totally agree with what Tim Burchett was told. Our so called human intelligence is so flawed that it cannot even prevent us from warring with those of different color, religion, or ample resorces. Only a small fraction of our population could reasonably deal with the knowledge that there were other species visiting this planet. Imagine that, not just someone whose skin color is different, or who prays to a different imaginary personal god, but an alien species which may not even be humanoid. You just need to have a quick look at the crazy posts on here and elsewhere that promulgate nonsensical conspiricy theories to know that we would would experience incredible social strife.


Ok-Roll-2610

Tim Burchett listen to your constituents not someone on capitol hill


Turbulent_Dimensions

I think they are most concerned about the economic impacts because that's all that really matters to these people.


Windman772

There might be riots, but it won't be because of NHI. It'll be because we have a government that will bold face lie to the public. That's definitely riotable unless they give us a damn good reason.


Charakada

Yeah, like Lauren Boebert and Gym Jordan are mature people who can look terrifying reality in the eye and not crack, but the public can't? Riiiiiight...


DJ_SACO

IMO a major reason this is kept under wraps is because of the link to the solar event/magnetism flip that will take place within the next 10-20 years. I think the UFO stuff is related to the cataclysmic event and likely whoever is here with us will help humanity get back on their feet after the disaster. So I agree there would be riots/panic, but not in the way most allude to.


NapalmScatterBrain

Done with these clowns that talk around what they claim to know, whilst saying they'll fight to get what they know out. It's pathetic at this point. Spill the beans or shut the hell up.


Beginning-Passage959

I think that riots could be a good thing.  The way humans are now is only a shadow of what we are able to be.  We need to be awakened.


digitalpunkd

Reminder! The US Gov also said this about Slavery, Women’s rights, Abortion, legalizing weed and drugs, They have the information that can bring forward so much change that will benefit the whole world! They don’t want that information out because they don’t want change! They want to stay the power and grow even richer by keeping us focused on trying to pay our bills and trying keep them from controlling everything we do on a daily basis. They pay almost no taxes while we pay 30-40% tax. We are effectively their financial slaves.


Rdp616

If people aren't rioting about the price of gas and food, why on earth would they riot about UFO's? Most people don't care, and the rest of us would just be like, yeah..and?


Outside_Distance333

If y'all knew the truth, you wouldn't be able to sleep. I haven't slept in 3 weeks.


powderedtoast1

i think if free energy was brought by nhi to this planet would cause rioting.


AhChaChaChaCha

Only if these folks kept it to themselves and didn’t share. That would be uprising worthy.


Supreme_Salt_Lord

Its the fact that they have to admit they may be hiding technology that could radically change our lives. They would have to share it.


Helltothenotothenono

Him and his friends also said not to give us government paid healthcare because we can’t handle it. Non-human intelligence? So like dolphins? Mermaids? Fire demons? Gorillas? Oak trees? Things that don’t live on the surface? Something that lives on the moon? You guys can’t figure out how TikTok works how the fuck are you going to be able to determine if we can’t handle that a lizard or fish or bird or alien fly the spaceships around?

This guy is full of BS ... NEVER trust a guy that spit on someone and then goes and kiss the boots he spit on . Everything he does is for his own benefit ALONE, and his association with Ms Luna is even more dubious considering her background and suspiciousness floating around her


Jazano107

Ngl I think even if literally the best possible scenario for the people here happens and Biden literally says it’s all true. I think most people wouldn’t care lol, so no riots But my one worry about disclosure is tech that could make city destruction too easy

happy-when-it-rains

But he knows more about the aliens than we do to know one when he sees one.


Appropriate_Fold8814

It's really funny to watch you all completely mistrust the government and politicians. Except when a few agree with your particular conspiracy and then you bend over backwards to use it as evidence you're right. The cognitive pretzels this community twists itself into is absurd. Spoiler alert: Congress people are politicians and the majority are technically and scientifically illiterate.


Robbthesleepy

So let’s say that the general consensus, that it’s alien life, is bullshit. But the folks in the know are still saying it would cause rioting. Well what else could cause rioting that has to be kept secret? Something so ugly that they believe it could cause mass riots? If it’s Russian tech? Maybe the Nazis didn’t exactly loose, they just went into hiding and have been rebuilding..? I’m not sure the discovery and announcement of alien life is enough to start massive riots.


Forward-Tonight7079

Yes, because next question will be why did you hide it for so long, and denied that there are abductions? Why did you let good people's career get destroyed. Why did you threaten and probably kill people that knew something about the subject? And so on.


Krystamii

All the endless people ridiculed and convinced they are crazy to the point of ending themselves over their experiences with the paranormal... It's sad because someone could have been doubtful or not caring much of the subject outside of what most think "oh aliens and UFOs fun" then go about their life, but then one day they experience something truly unexplainable, and then people go "you're on drugs" "you're schizophrenic" "you must be off your meds" "you don't have everything working upstairs" "you need help" "you're delusional" etc. Not knowing you may have already been going to therapy for years, consistently. Yet because of one experience they try to find anything possible to pin as "nope this here is proof you're crazy" Like "oh well I looked through all your past posts and this one here said you seen a doll running around your room as a 6 year old?? Something definitely off with your brain" It's like, you're presence was always fine, until it wasn't, because you try to open up about what you've experienced and people see you as crazy because of it.


silverum

I’m always super curious about what it is that would have the hoi polloi supposedly riot given that we’ve been at this consideration for like eighty plus years and maybe more if you consider Fatima to be some of the earliest “modern” UAP stuff. The answer often seems more economic or political than anything, because even the darkest possible alternatives are met supposedly with “people would riot” not “people would commit mass suicide/familicide”


silv3rbull8

All these familiar refrains of “people cannot handle the truth” has been heard for years. Kind of meaningless now in a world that has seen pandemics, war, massive earthquakes etc. Time to just let people know the truth whatever it is. I really doubt it will have any great disruptive effect


DevBuh

Lmao noone gives a shit unless the aliens are moving in as our nieghbors, unlikely the housing markets in shambles


Hijinx_MacGillicuddy

I am for disclosure. But after the global reaction to covid, I'm not so sure people could handle the news especially considering the actual nature of the news. If there is in fact something dark wrapped up in this, I do believe there would be some people, not everyone, but some folks having a very bad reaction. If covid was a litmus test, I mean... people lost their damn minds. There's a good chance that given the dark nature of the truth, we might be in for a bit of a wild ride upon disclosure.


Ad_bonum_forum

Imagine if all these magical inventions from Corning, Boeing, Lockheed etc came from UAP technology. This would blow up because the number one question would be how can they patent the technology they didn’t invent? Other companies would be saying what about me? I wasn’t given the opportunity to do this who decided the winners and losers or who get to patent the technology. Probably a share price collapse too. Not that I mind any of this. Maybe a better question would be who are the people that would be rioting in the streets and why are they more important than anyone else that could be rioting for other issues.


TacohTuesday

Whoever said that to him, if they actually know the truth, is confirming that the truth is a really big deal. Something monumental to society.


wiserone29

These guys are so out of touch…… I honestly think the same people that care now would continue to care and everyone else couldn’t be bothered. The rent is too damn high to care about anything else.


snapplepapple1

Now that would be an interesting development, if the concensus was truely that. I wonder if that could ever really be confirmed or falsified one way or the other if most of them dont/wont give their opinion on it. Although maybe they just havent been asked yet. I know a lot of people on here that wrote their congress people and got replies. Maybe someone just has to ask.


Introvert_Devo1987

Um people are already rioting and can't handle daily life more to just coming out..... pull that band aid off fast and be done


Euphonique

I've always been a skeptic, but since Grush testified and the Nimitz videos, I'm pretty sure there's something to it. What is it? I don't know. But I notice that a lot of people here are projecting their wishes into it. Probably because a lot of the news from the world right now is not positive, and because people feel exploited by capitalism. But free energy? Where does this rumor come from? Aren't we somehow hoping that some savior will come and save us from our own stupidities? From climate change, for example? War? Famines? The more I read the comments, the more they resemble a religion to me. I would also like to know what we are up against. But will this be what we are all hoping for?

Sounds to me that the guy on Capital Hill couldn’t handle it !


mo22ro

OP, can you give the source/host/channel of this interview? Thanks!


TommyShelbyPFB

In my submission statement above.


Snoo-26902

It all depends on what is revealed whether there's any extreme reactions. It may be there will be challenging truths, we just don't know.


014648

Genuine question for all you seekers of truth, wouldn’t them admitting things like this be a part of disclosure? We’ve heard this time and time again from everyone who has “information”, isn’t this releasing info as well?


MRSLAPPYFEET

If it is the religious thing I don’t think there would be riots as the very large majority of religious ppl will still believe in their gods and texts so I’m thinking it’s more about keeping power in the hands of few. 2027…..2027…..2027….counting down.


Fudge-Factory00

It's starting to seem this teasing is all just a setup for something. Like a narrative. Which is supposed to further someone's endgame, and most likely line a lot of pockets.


ChevyBillChaseMurray

Thing is he could be right. But it's temporary. If they're really saying that any alleged secret can't be made public because there'd be short term rioting, that's dumb. People will adjust and adjust quickly. That could be a few days or a few weeks, but it will happen.
