      I agree with you. I read her book on Area 51 history and it's total garbage. After reading 3/4 of that dog, I trust nothing she writes. The book was full of conflicting information and so full of logical problems that events could not have happened per her sources, somebody was wrong and somebody was right and she did nothing to address any of it. (One glaring example: if the USSR had UFO stealth technology and were flying the saucer that crashed at Roswell, NM that entered our country undetected and remained undetected until it crashed, why were they floating spy balloons in the early 1970s and they have yet to manufacture a legitimate stealth aircraft?) The Area 51 association of former employees regrets ever having anything to do with her, she took their information and twisted it to fit some fiction account.
      It's also glaringly obvious that she has ZERO knowledge of anything to do with aerospace. I don't expect everybody to know the published specs of the SR-71 to a whisker, but she's not even aware of the typical speed that an airliner flies, where the space shuttle flew, or what it's typical orbital speed was +/- 1000 MPH. She doesn't even know a ballpark figure of what Mach 1 is, and she's writing books about aerospace? That's pretty appalling. With that piece of garbage under her belt, I trust nothing that comes from her. Pulitzer Prize author my a$$.

      Terrorism is trying to deal with something by causing straight terror. Assassinations are the opposite, they're for when democracy is impossible and when war is unavoidable, if a leader of a country for example was clearly leading his people to March on the US im pre sure if you were in the US' shoes you would want that leader dealt with quickly and quietly.
      Again terrorism is causing terror on purpose to achieve a goal, assassinations are about quietly dealing with a threat in order to avoid causing terror. Literally the opposite.

      so if someone is a super smooth talker you wouldnt question them at all? Bet you are easy to manipulate. so many people judge someone not on what they are saying, but how they say it, and all it does is show that you care more about being entertained or convinced, than you do about being informed.
      Who tf cares if she says "right". Maybe she says "umm" instead? Only an idiot would reduce her entire speech to a single world and then judge the rest of that speech on just the use of a filler word. That is legitimate stupidity.

Just like us, and why people like Gates, Bezo's and Musk are fucking insane. They have it all. What's the point of getting out of bed? So they come up with theses Ideals and try to convince the world that they're right. They could use their money for the good of mankind. But they grow meat in labs, create deadly viruses and fly to places we will never live. They think they're like a god and man will exist for ever. Yet history shows we get wiped out pretty bad every 12,000 years and completely every few hundred thousand years. In the time span of the history of the universe. A mere blink in time.

      Obama campaigned on being directly opposite of crazy war mongering republican George Bush.

      He ran out all the parts nessary to keep jet fighter's in air during war-time. Used up all bombs.
      That is why Trump took so much criticism at first in white house.
      Biden has run into same thing with equipment left behind in Afghanistan. Then spending 160 billion in Ukraine.
      Everything is running out and will cost even possibly double due to inflation.
      So that 80 billion of equipment lost in Afghanistan is now over 160 billion.
      160 billion plus in Ukraine is double too.
      That's taxes for now and next 100 year's.
      China refused to sell rare earth minerals that are needed to make computer chips in our guidance control systems.
      Strategic oil reserves gone too.

Not supporting any country assassinating on foreign land but that does shows any one with power can do it 1000 times and still be called hero using soft power and social media.

Like the US either allowing 911 to get something in trade or doing it themselves for another country to get something from said country, such as, the blame on certain individuals and the take down of others. Not saying that's what I necessarily think happened, I'm just using it as an example.
