Kucinich and the UFO

There are hundreds of people who have built and operated home-made "flying saucer engines" called lifters which are based on patents from the 1950s and before - T. Townsend Brown bing the inventor. They are typically constructed of balsa wood tinfoil and wire. Wasn't the Roswell craft made of balsa and tinfoil according to the redacted story by the Air Force?

If all these hobbyists can make something that flies when you attach them to a 30 KV power supply is it not reasonable to presume that the government and aerospace industry with considerable more resources are able to do the same thing on a non hobbyist level?

To protect the secret you just have to discount everyone who has seen one, much like 911 truthers, speaking of which, the magazine that debunked their theories also has a cool article about the Air Forces top secret nuclear flying saucer. Well, which one are they credible on?

Marginalizing and mocking Kucinich seems to be in the script now. Now if everyone who believes in UFOs votes for him, he shall win in a landslide.

Carter also saw a UFO.

These are secret aircraft with novel propulsion systems and the public doesn't need to know about a craft that has it's skin charged with high voltage in order to work.

But you can build a toy one with balsa, foil, wire and a power supply.

The government is good at keeping secrets, but those patents are available for public scrutiny and research.

Clinton's next scandal

Clinton's next scandal? Well sure, the news will not touch this but you can bet that right before election day the republicans will, The democrats should deal with it before the republicans do unless we want another one in the white house.

Of course, it is all just being played from a script with each person confined to their role and merely being actors in the drama, they will ignore this and rally behind Clinton.

Meanwhile the airport at Mena is still doing a booming business.
