ld be a really handsome young guy. So now you've got this you know apparently a very smart killer who's got his own clever nickname the healthcare hitman and the one picture of him that they're trying to sell us on which I don't believe by the way he's really good looking like really good looking like movie star good looking. I don't know there there's something terribly wrong about how movie perf…

somebody's balloon or it's just somebody's drone they're flying around. But today I wake up and there's like videos from the East Coast, videos from the West Coast, videos from Argentina I think a few other places in which there were these glowing orbs doing things in sequence. In one case they seem to be going into the ocean. And remember my main theme for today is that all of the news is either overtly racist against white men and that's what the story is in one form or another or it's video or photos that I can't tell are real. So we got the Kamala Harris drunk video I don't know if that's real. We got the healthcare hitman full facial that somehow they can't identify him from the full facial picture. I don't know that that's real. And then we've got what looks to be dozens of videos of these anomalous flying things and I don't know if any of them are real because it seems like the easiest thing you could fake would be to do some AI take a regular video and then add some glowing orbs. How hard would it be to add some glowing orbs? That literally the easiest thing you could ever add to an existing video would be a point of glowing orb moving around. So are the videos real? There are now a lot of them. There are now a lot of them.

So here's something that somebody said on social media that just put all of it to rest for me. If these UAPs which are over a lot of them are over American bases or over American assets if they were really a threat you would see American military trying like hell to shoot them down even if they didn't know what they were. You know the American military would be all over it. You know that you'd see the drones but then you would immediately see helicopters and jets and stuff trying to figure out what they are and you don't see that. The only explanation is it's our stuff. Am I wrong about that? If the American military is not reacting to flying objects they can't identify routinely over their bases it's got to come from the base or it's got to be an American military asset right? Well you're saying no how could it be anything except ours if we're not responding to it. I don't see any possibility that it could be a real threat or even a real unknown at least to the military people who directly below it. There's no scenario in which they're not lighting up the sky if they can't identify flying risks above a military facility. I mean even if they didn't think it was a military risk they'd still shoot the thing down because it's over a military base. Yeah it doesn't matter who it is. If you're over a military base and you're hovering and you're looking dangerous am I wrong? They're going to shoot it down or at least they're going to try. So the fact that you don't even see any attempted interaction is pretty confirmatory that either the pictures are fake or the military knows exactly what they are but they can't say because it's private. But that wouldn't explain the ones in other countries. I think the other countries probably just drones you know people have drones and some of them are operatin

g in some kind of coordinated way etc. But the other possibility that's more exciting is that there might be some Chinese tanker ship you know off the coast of America and they're doing testing. You know every once in a while they'll release a dozen drones and watch the response from America and then maybe America knows that's what's happening or suspects that's what's happening and they don't wan…
