Parody: Dear Earthlings Letter

 Dear Earthlings:

In recent weeks, with all the hype going on....to suggest 'we' might be visiting you, we felt the need to lay the story out straight.

So, over the millennium (way more than a million years)....we kinda came around to Earth, and may have (at differing times) planted a few things, or dropped off a few critters.  The release of donkeys, Border Collies, and Maine Coon cats was just accidental (they dodged security and sneaked off the ship).

In the early trips, we were sent to Earth just to monitor and plant things.  To be honest, in those early days, the 12-year 'tours' were boring and the reports were usually not going to get you a promotion.

Somewhere along the 1700s, we did get fairly into Earth lifestyles, culture, wine, food, and music.  The reports....as I will suggest went up a notch or two.

Along about the 1890 period, those reports turned into five-star reading material, and the 30-year periods between 'tours' was deleted.  We were sent on a full-time basis.

The 1920s?  Man, with the prohibition era, Nazi Germany, wild times in Paris, Chicago crime, and jazz music....our reports back to the home-planet went up to the top.  Earth reports, with pallets of German beer....became a big deal.

The 1960s?  We had a full-time round-the-clock team in San Francisco, West Berlin, Rome, London and Miami.  In the summer of 1970, we actually had one of our teams meet up Jim Morrison, and conduct a one-hour interview.  For the fall 1972 season of Laugh-In, we had two of our guys hired up as script-writers.  Back in June of 1969, we had one of our guys accidentally bump into Charles Manson and spend an hour talking about some crazy war that he wanted to start up.

Since the 1990s, there's not a single evening news piece on our home planet where an hour of Earth news is not conveyed.  The Kardashians, Prince Harry, Lady GaGa, Homer Simpson, Trailer Park Boys, Colin Kaepernick, Donald Trump, woke crap, Elon Musk, and Covid.....all demonstrate a sensational planet.

You see, we were kinda bored with our advanced society....things were too predictable.  Snoop, ditty songs, Mexican soap operas, the TV series Lost, fake CNN news, crazy religious stuff?  It brought life back into our society.  

As for announcing ourselves?  Well....it just ain't going to happen.  If we kinda mentioned and that we planted 99-percent of trees on the Earth....that most all sea creatures and land animals were what we dropped off, and that we might have manipulated things in the 1500s and 1600s....well....you just wouldn't understand things.  And to be honest, there never was a master plan.  Add to it....we are probably two-hundred million years more advanced.

The biggest thing that we kinda 'gave' you in terms of technology over the past era?  Well....we kinda hinted the idea of 'mute' on TV sets, the general recipe of the McRib sandwich, and the game-show idea of 'Deal, No Deal'.  Yeah, we hyped Trump into the idea of running in 2016.  We also did explain the fake religious stuff to Rasputin.  And we did give some lyric ideas to Johnny Cash back in the 1970s.  I should state....Biden wasn't our idea, so don't go blaming us for him or the woes.

Finally, there's no reason to get worried or hyped up.  We just simply look to oversee your planet, sample Louisiana cuisine, and sip Icelandic gin.

Signed,

Glomac Ik-poop (Glorious sub-commander #9)

TV Chatter

 I noticed some hype coming up over the 'Friends - Reunion' TV show, and then some counter-hype (negative criticism).

The criticism?  Well...for the two-hour show, they intended to bring a number of big-name people on (Lady Ga-GA, Justine Bieber, Tom Selleck, etc)....which just happened to be all white.  From the list of around 30 guests....the only two non-whites were some South Korean boy-band, and Mindy Kaling (Sri Lankan).  

Lacking diversity?  That was the comment made.  

You can go back over fifty years of American TV, and shows rarely came in diverse cultural patterns (maybe All in the Family Counts, Chico and the Man, etc).  

If you attempted to bring back Bonanza today?  You'd likely have to offer two prominent black cowboy characters in order to sell the show.  Seinfeld?  He'd have to have either a black 'friend' or a Puerto Rican girlfriend.  Dallas?  You'd have to suggest that Jock Ewing had a black girlfriend in the 1950s, and has a black son hidden in the oil business.  Remaking Scooby Doo?  Someone in the group would have to be a minority character....probably from Atlanta.  

All of this leading to lesser quality TV scripts?  I would suggest for the past for the past two years....between the cancel culture and woke shows....it's become pretty dismal, and convincing people to look for reruns developed twenty to forty years ago.  

Odds of a Liz Cheney 'Third-Party'?

 All this hype over the past week, led me to ponder upon this suggest of a new Republican Party.  There are four problems:

1.  The more you talk (from this unnamed party)....the more you sound like Mitt Romney, George Bush and John McCain.  Sorry, but that type of chatter won't work.

2.  Basically, you'd have to advocate 90-percent of the Trump positions, or you'd seem to be a left-leaning group.

3.  Your position on migration or open-borders?  Not only does it not sell to 90-percent of Republicans, but it probably doesn't sell to one-quarter of Democratic voters either.

4.  Finally, if you review the 1912 Roosevelt-Taft-Wilson election....it would seem your tactic is basically the same as it, and your party would dissipate (disappear) in four years.  The 'Bull-Moose' Party?  Remember it?  

So, my suggestion?  If you are that moderate in nature....why not just become a Democrat?  

Older Generation Americans Having More Issues With UFO Admittance by the Government?

 Well, yeah.

Generally, I think anyone under the age of thirty is likely to fully accept (say 90-percent or more) the idea that the government says UFOs are real.  

In the age group of 70 over older?  I'd say it's probably less than 10-percent who can believe the idea or feel comfortable with the idea.  

Someone like President Biden?  There's probably 10,000 questions he would ask, and they'd all lead back to a skeptical view....with him declaring nothing factual exists (even if you had a thousand videos by the Navy).  

What drove this serious amount of acceptance?  Mostly Hollywood, and some scientists giving calculations that there ought to be a minimum of a thousand cultures in the universe as a minimum.

The Hollywood effort brand 75-percent of aliens 'bad-guys'?  Well....that might not be a positive thing.  Course, Alf and 3rd Rock from the Sun made this more a comical thing than a evil thing.

So this whole acceptance thing is bundled up into two generations which can't come to a rational middle-point?  More or less.  

AP Story

 Somewhere in the news, you will notice chatter about the Israeli/Palestinian 'mini-war' business, and where the Israelis gave notice that they were going to bomb such-and-such building, which happened to be the place-of-business for the Associated Press (AP).

So after the building fell (completely)....which got the AP people all disturbed...it kinda got said that some apartment in the building with them....was actually the headquarters section of Hamas.  

The AP folks wanted everyone to know that they had no idea that Hamas was also in the same building. 

I sat there reading over the denial, and it just seemed to me.....if you were actual true journalists (from the 1960s/1970s).....you would have known such a thing.  But these journalists from the past decade or two.....aren't that bright, and it's entirely possible that they had no idea Hamas was a neighbor.  

AP shut down for a while?  Well....they have to find a new location....get some equipment brought in, and there's a chance that they move into a new building with their former Hamas neighbors (again).

Observations Over the UFO Business

 Based on the wording of the budget bill passed in December 2020....the Pentagon has to produce it's UFO report on 1 June (roughly two weeks away).  So my observations:

1.  This could still be halted by President Biden, but if he halts it....it'll draw attention and put him in a very difficult position to explain why he did it.  It could be delayed (my expectation) for six months....just to give the White House more time to figure an angle to tell the story.

2.  This sudden story (past week) where Biden is all frustrated, yelling at people and running WH personnel ragged?  I suspect that the Pentagon is having to provide advanced copies of the report, and Biden can't deal with the 'unknown' facts.  

3.  What will the report be mostly about?  Simply sightings that really ramped up along the Virginia coast in 2019, and cover some past 'things'.  The Navy held exercises in 2019 and a significant number of activities were recorded.  They cannot be easily explained.

4.  If UFOs are 'lounging' around the Earth, why?  

I mostly think they are curious and just collecting data.  They aren't interested in introducing themselves (mostly I think because they are more than a thousand years, maybe even more than 100k years....advanced).   Why bother introducing or announcing your presence?  

5.  Just one group or one social 'family' in this UFO business? 

Nothing would suggest that and this report might go to say literally hundreds of things which lead you to think it's more than a thousand cultures surveying the Earth.

6.  If they do 'exist', then what?

I think this is where Biden has a problem....he can't get his hands onto this situation or reason out a plus-up for his presidency.

For regular people, it starts to shatter beliefs.  May ten-percent of society would have serious problems. 

7.  Could the visitors be walking among us?

Well....yeah, that is an extreme possibility.  Maybe you've got a dozen cultures which bring 'people' in, and they get six months of vacation on Earth.....sipping beer, eating McRib sandwiches, and frolicking in Miami.  Maybe they get hyped up on Pabst-Blue-Ribbon beer, and take a pallet back home with them when they leave.  Maybe there's forty of the aliens sitting in classes in MIT.  Maybe some aliens run business fronts in Tulsa or hang out on the streets of Chicago.  

8.  Might the aliens be lingering on Earth because they are so far advanced....that Earth entertainment really interests them?

Well....after watching the entire series of Lost, or having a laugh over Bob Hope movies, or watching WWE wrestling video....they might be fairly thrilled over the stuff.  It'd be like a Alabama guy going off to Manhattan for a month, and getting addicted to street life there.

9.  Should any of this worry you?

If Yak-k-TT wanted to harm you....he would have already done it.  They are so advanced that making threats probably isn't regarded as a part of their society.  They simply explore.

10.  Does the Navy or Air Force hold 'things' which relate to this?

That's mostly an unknown.  I would take a guess that both have programs, and both have pieces and parts of things in hidden labs.  But these things being a thousand or ten-thousand years more advanced....getting into the technology is nearly impossible.

But I would also suggest that various companies have gotten into the labs and found certain things to exploit.  This might be a negative for society.

11. Will the report go to Congress and just be read then, then stuffed into a vault?  Maybe.  

12.  After the report goes public, then what?  

That really is the million-dollar question.  Biden can't answer this.  CNN can't answer this.  Even the aliens can't answer this.  

Ten Questions

 1.  If the fake Republicans walk out and create their own party.....how many people would vote for their candidate?  One-percent of the 2020 Republican voter crowd?

2.  Is there any real factual evidence that gun buy-backs ever reduce violent crimes?  

3.  If you asked President Biden to define inflation.....could he even give you a brief 2-line description?  Is there a chance that he might blab that sometimes....inflation is a good thing?

4.  If someone walked up to you and said within a twenty-mile range of your house....there's six certifiably insane guys/gals who ought to be in a state facility....would it bother you?

5.  Is there anything in your state constitution that gives your state the right to ban words or phrases?  Are there people in your state who think it does have the power to rephrase the use of the English language?

6.  When would you say 'end-day' exists with Covid-19?  Will it occur in your lifetime?

7.  If you took an average kid in Ohio or Michigan, measuring their level of education....would it bother you that seventy-percent of them are a full-year behind the 'norm'? Would it bother you if forty-percent were two years behind?  Would it bother you if ten-percent were three years behind?  

8.  Who would you give more of a confidence 'thumbs-up'.....public health in America, or your local topless dancing bar?

9.   The more that President Biden appears on TV.....doesn't he appear like that Seinfeld 'Uncle Leo' character....the one who talked over his son Jeffery who works in the parks department?

10.  Where is Hunter Biden....just out of curiosity?
