Dr Gary P. Nolan on the caudate putamen and strange materials

"The DNA of the Strange | with special guest Dr Garry Nolan." Played live on MJ Banias' YouTube channel, April 26, 2019. Duration: 1:21:59.

Some early research has speculated that certain humans are more predisposed to ’The Strange.’ Join MJ and Dr. Garry Nolan of Stanford University as they discuss Nolan's genetic research, his interest in anomalous phenomena, and how science, Forteana, UFOs, and the paranormal may coexist in one complex (meta)physical system. Pull up a chair. Grab a drink. Tip your server. Welcome to Cafe Obscura.

This interview is from April this year (2019), but the content in the interview is timeless. Some parts of the content are also thought-provoking and raise some complex ethical questions. Therefore, I highly recommend you to listen to the whole interview when you have ample time and feel sharp in your mind. I can even recommend you to pause the video and reflect for some minutes when you feel that Dr Gary P. Nolan is saying something important or raises a question.

I will not say more about the content. What I will do is give you a rough map of what is being covered and when in the interview. Do not take my map as an exhaustive summarisation of all the interesting and useful information that Dr Nolan shares during the interview.

John Greenewald's assessment of the "Luis Elizondo emails"

"Newly Released Luis Elizondo Emails: A Breakdown Analysis." Live-streamed on the YouTube channel The Black Vault Originals, August 22, 2019. Duration: 1:56:47.

Join me, John Greenewald, Jr., as I breakdown the new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release of e-mails to/from Mr. Luis Elizondo. (Source for documents: https://www.theblackvault.com/casefil...) 

Find out about the process Mr. Elizondo utilized to have the three "UAP videos" reviewed by the Pentagon, and, what the e-mails reveal about the videos themselves. I'll even go through what the e-mails DON'T reveal, despite what some may want you to think. 

In addition to the documented facts, I'll break down a statement on this very issue by Luis Elizondo himself, made through George Knapp and Coast to Coast AM (not KLAS-TV/Las Vegas). Why would Mr. Elizondo respond this way, and not through their own PR department/firm working with To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science? What important details did Mr. Elizondo omit from his statement to justify his actions? I'll use his own words to prove these discrepancies and possible outright fabrications to protect his story. 

Lastly, I will break down the downright fabricated (yes, I'll prove it) "reporting" by some bloggers/"journalists" that are twisting the facts, and even making up their own, to fit TTSA's agenda and protect their image. Don't take my word for it -- I'll show you the proof and let you decide by showing you their own words, not mine, and verifiable evidence to disprove their claims to you, all while parading as "unbiased journalists." 

Who do you believe when it is all said and done? You decide... join me for a fun and informative analysis of what these documents really are... and aren't.

My point in commenting on the presentation by Mr John Greenewald Jr. is because I think it is important that different assessments of the "Luis Elizondo emails" are taken into consideration. Or, more precisely from Greenewald's point of view, the assessment of the public narrative of "Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program" (AATIP), and Mr Luis Elizondo's role in AATIP.

For a big picture thinker like myself, and who is not in any way a researcher, I think Greenewald's presentation exemplifies how anyone who wants to call themselves a "researcher" should conduct fact-checking in a thorough way (in this case, FOIA documents).

One way of reducing the social stigma of the UFO phenomenon

Background

Question everything you read, hear and see about the UFO phenomena (hereafter, "the phenomena"). Including the content on this blog. Trust no one. Not necessarily because people are untrustworthy, but because no one can claim to know with certainty what the truth is about the phenomena or what is not true about the phenomena. That ignorance includes me.

That is why this post is describing "the standards of reasoning" (below the "Background" part), mentioned briefly in a previous post, and why they are important to the discourse of the phenomena. But before that, some more background.

The terms "ufology" and "ufologist" are problematic. Because they imply some systematic method and theory underlying the study of the phenomena. There is not. Which is a problem that Jacques Vallée has pointed out in several of his books and in various interviews through the years.

The main reason for the lack of such a shared theoretical and practical framework to study the phenomena is likely the elusive and complex nature of the phenomena itself. Most people knowledgeable about the phenomena know the phenomena require a multidisciplinary approach. Neither the STEM sciences nor the humanities/social sciences can, on their own, expand our knowledge and further our understanding of the phenomena.

So what can a curious layperson do to become a more trustworthy thinker about the phenomena?

In one of my previous posts, I briefly mentioned some "standards of reasoning" to make the stigmatised UFO subject into a more legitimate subject to be openly interested in and publicly talk about. That is, if one is interested in and cares about the truth behind the phenomena, then one can start with examining how one thinks, writes and talks about the phenomena.

I can, for instance, ask myself:

New witness testimony to the Rendlesham Forest UFO incidents

"#EXCLUSIVE - new #interview with a #RendleshamForest #UFO #witness." Published by and on the YouTube channel Anicka Plante @ The Analysis.net, on July 25, 2019. Duration: 41:03 minutes.

Important new information has emerged concerning the famous “UFO” incident at Rendlesham Forest.

A #military #eye-witness has reported that scientific data was planted into his mind during an #encounter with a #UAP, the second #RFI witness to make such a claim — in this case a formula and associated information concerning #antimatter and #antigravity.

I am aware of, but not involved in, some kind of grouping regarding what is the actual truth about the Rendlesham Forest UFO incidents. That is of course unfortunate, but not unusual in these kinds of high profile UFO cases, involving multiple events and witnesses. 

The reason I am posting the interview with Michael Stacey Smith is because I believe his testimony to be genuine. It is another voice and another perspective to help us put together a more clear and complete picture of the Rendlesham Forest UFO incidents.

As always, I encourage anyone interested in finding out the truth to do their own research, reflections and to make up their own mind about what to believe or not.


Take care!
