Whole ballgame right there. If rights don't apply equally and uniformly, they're not rights, they're privileges afforded to select few and discriminately denied to others.
Erica @ericalukes.bsky.social & I will be flying solo tonight - or, ehr, co-piloting, or something like that - on UFO Classified. Get caught up on the adventures of Expanding Frontiers Research and hear about new activities on the near horizon.
Happiest of birthdays to my good friend, Blackwolf John Oates! He's been the most frequent guest on the pod, whether talking about RoboCop, the baffling photography of Ted Serios, or as a guest co-host discussing Star Trek, Road House, and UFO Cover Up? Live!
Happy Birthday man!

Also, along the lines of (dis)information dissemination & its spread, I'm pretty confident the average person walking around would be unaware it's literally been the focus of grant projects for Uncle Sam. It's a fact the IC is in the business of how rumors & BS spread (or at least it used to be).
It's indeed not just that the administration is lying about why it launched a war on Iran, it's that they're concealing the actual reasons - which they wouldn't be concealing if those reasons were justifiable & if they would be publicly supported.
I got a call from my local PBS station today, thanking me for my monthly donations. Then they followed a sweet-talk-him-into-donating-even-more script and I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Monthly donation increased. Not sorry!

What the FOIA is, what it's not, & what it should be - & lots more discussed in this half-hour video featuring MuckRock Resident FOIA Expert Nicholas Santos. FOIA reform, perspectives of FOIA officers, & more is addressed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE9K...
From WWII to Vietnam and throughout the 20th century, FBI cast strong suspicion at those expressing dissent of foreign policy. Sometimes the suspicions were valid, sometimes they weren't, & sometimes the ends didn't justify the means. But I think historians would agree it's complicated.
Nicholas Santos, a resident FOIA expert at MuckRock and a former FOIA officer at FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard.
James Carrion, former director of the Mutual UFO Network and a researcher with a focus on the likelihood Cold War-era UFO reports were tools for U.S. intelligence agencies.
Susan Gerbic, award-winning advocate of scientific skepticism and driving force of Guerrilla Skepticism of Wikipedia.
An image obtained from an FBI file, Russian attendees of the 1952 conference of the International Astronomical Union photographed at the airport in Rome, Italy. Seven men are clad in suits, while one woman is in business wear, and each have their names penciled in over their heads by an FBI asset. The words, "Scientists as FBI Assets," are added to the image.
From a former FOIA officer to Guerrilla Skeptics, we've got you covered on the EFR video page, complete with some Cold War-era UFO history and spy games, as well. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/items-2
A person either respects the uniform application of rights to all or they don't. To be sincere, I don't have enough confidence in the average emotional intelligence to think most people even understand the concept. Subjectivity, confirmation bias, & plain ol' bigotry are seemingly much more common.
I have been awarded some professional development funds at work that are specified for "training" related to my job (digital interpretation/humanites type things). Does anyone have a conference/summer school/symposium/training option I should know about?
Noem’s response is outlandish and should alarm everyone. Even if you take her “probable cause” claim at face value, it would not justify warrantless entries into homes, and it certainly would not justify continuing to detain someone after they’ve produced proof of citizenship.
You notice how quiet China has been?
That's because you never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

During the Renaissance, people in Venice would vote by dropping little balls into an urn.
The Italian word for “little ball” is ‘ballotta.’
Now any kind of secret voting, by ball, piece of paper, or voting machine, is called a ‘ballot.’
With full respect, I say Abby Hoffman would have loved it.
Fill up on overpriced regular and head over to the diner for a cheaper cut of beef while thinking about people who rationalized supporting racism by ostensibly voting for the economy.
I once asked a person, who had written multiple books on people in the UFO community, what they were currently working on. "I'm delving into something less convoluted that people do not get so emotionally riled up about," they replied. "Politics in the Middle East."
BREAKING: Trump has nominated Bradford P. Wilson, of the conservative, anti-LGBTQ+ and Opus Dei-tied Witherspoon Institute and the charter school organization Great Hearts Institute (and formerly Exec Director of Princeton's James Madison Program) to be Archivist of the United States.
