gregorumKinda surprised that something sane tumbled out of his mouth.
edit: apparently, it wasn’t as sane as the headline made it sound, lol
A broken clock is right twice a day
But he isn’t right nearly that often, lol
He has managed not to expose himself to any reporters, so far. For whatever that’s worth.
I guess that means he’s still outperforming his predecessor, but… wtf… Green Bay? That’s twice?
Kinda makes you wonder what fuckery Fields will bring to the table.
Supervisor194He’s actually worse than a broken clock. Even twice a day when he manages to be right, he’s wrong - because he’s so phenomenally stupid.
You might wanna check the clock
This clock has spirograph shapes instead of hands.
It wasn’t actually sane. It was batshit crazy. The headline was really working overtime to tone it down into a rational thought.
“That gets in the whole other idea about religion being as a way to control people, control thought maybe, which is pretty wild. But disclosure, I think needs to happen. It’s going to be interesting to see how it happens, where it happens.
“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin. So the idea of seeing other entities, seeing angelic type of beings and demonic type beings is very normal. And the idea that there’s a demonic aspect to the UIP phenomenon, I think is very It’s plausible and interesting.”
I stand corrected
He’s going so crazy he accidentally lapped around to sane for a minute
Even a broken clock is right twice a day…
Please.
Farve ended up being a steaming pile of shit.
Let Rodgers be an ok dude.
This claim keeps him an ok dude.
Please keep it there.
I’ve got some bad news for you…
I’m sorry to hear about the coma you’ve been in for the last 8 years. Hopefully you have a quick recovery!
I left behind sportsball well over 8 years ago...
I won't look it up, but I'm guessing not good things have surfaced since.
last time I was hanging out outside the book place where they had the page thingies, those wordnerds couldn’t take how goddamned edgy and cool I was when I told them that I couldn’t care less about their treelines, lol at them right??
If you stopped following sports 8 (fucking 8!) years ago, why the fuck are you here making hopeful comments about Rodgers?
That ship sailed long ago buddy.
I mean fucking duh. But honestly who gives af what he has to sy?
He's not wrong about that.
FeetiePJs...and the government could be hiding the existence of alien life because it would change the way people view religion and threaten this control.
I feel like the headline was leaving out the main idea he was getting at.
So... in reading the article, it seems he suggest the government is using religion to manipulate people into forgetting about all the aliens they're hiding.
So, not so much with the sanity.
Whew! For a second there, I was worried that I agreed with Aaron Rogers.
I thought maybe Aaron Rogers finally found the correct cocktail of meds to make him sane
It did seem like a reasonable statement until the article summed up the stupid.
This should absolutely be the top comment. Holy shit, Rodgers is such a fucking moron
MxM111Religion is the opium for the masses. Nothing new here, really.
*opiate
What’s the difference? Serious question.
Opiates include artificially lab-constructed products that are based off of the opium that comes from poppies.
So, opium was fine?
Yeah. Pretty much. The original quote by Marx would’ve been in German I assume - which might make a difference. Looking at the US’s painkiller problems “opiate” is possibly more relevant. It’s a negligible difference either way. (Unless a linguist knows better)
I suspect back then, when original quote was created, most, if not all, opium accessible to the public was natural and not a synthetic opiate. To translate it to opiate is likely incorrect then.
Historically speaking I imagine that’s true. I’m not sure why anyone felt the need to “correct” the word in the first place. Especially if it transpires they did so incorrectly…
Goddamn does this headline bury the lede or what?
Lmao… right???
Rodgers is known for his belief in alien life and in the supernatural. During his interview with Carlson, he suggested that the government knows of the existence of these beings, but keeps them from public knowledge and could be using religion to manipulate people’s thinking
ThatWeirdGuy1001I mean with all the shit that world governments are constantly pulling it really wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
Like whistleblowers disappear all the time or are labeled crazy people.
Imagine a govt employee suddenly ranting and raving about aliens or extra dimensional beings. Even if he had proof it wouldn’t be hard for the govt to make him look like a crackpot or make it seem like he had a mental breakdown.
Uh huh. If aliens were able to reach our solar system, do you think they would give one shit about being seen by a primitive civilization with zero space defenses?
If we’re talking about signs of alien life from deep space scans, do you really think that the scientists that found this evidence, who have spent their life pursuing the better understanding of the galaxy, would keep quiet about it at the behest of whatever government?
Life isn’t that interesting. There’s no massive multi-government conspiracy. We couldn’t even get governments to shut down borders or enforce mandates on wearing mask when a global pandemic of unknown severity was ongoing.
You’ve watched too much fictional media if you think any conspiracy of that level is remotely plausible.
Proof of aliens wouldn’t be your typical info that requires clearance, it would be the highest level of compartmented info. Everyone involved would need the highest security clearance. Everyone. Whoever empties the garbage cans needs to be trusted.
This wouldn’t be like nuclear secrets or spy secrets. All you need is one or two people who believe that disclosure of aliens would benefit humanity more than the secret will protect them. You need one Edward Snowden for aliens - someone reputable to blow the whistle with hard proof of some sort.
The amount of people that would need to keep this secret forever is astronomical. Not just the people directly involved, but any second or third degree contacts who find out would also have to keep the secret.
The ability to maintain a secret is an inverse-square function. The more people, the longer time passes, and the less involved they are day-to-day, the more likely the security will break down. There would absolutely be deathbed confessions. Over time, the probability of disclosure happening increases towards 100%.
This is why most conspiracy theories don’t hold water. No secret can last forever and certainly not one that big.
World governments wouldn’t be able to stop the LGM from just landing in the middle of Tokyo for all to see. They have no control in that situation.
Discovering microbes on Mars might be one thing, but it’s also the kind of thing the general public wouldn’t give a shit about.
cheesymoonshadowThis is what I keep saying too. To believe that so many people would keep a secret is just insane. Like the conspiracy about the NFL being rigged. It’s not even just the number of people involved and the passage of time. With all the egos on any given team, there’s no way all the players, the coaches, and everybody else would roll over and throw a game just because that was "the plan"for that year.
Humorous thought just occurred to me. What if the governments of the world are really a false flag operation to keep us from believing that a capable government could exist. And that there is a real one that knows about aliens and so much more… There has to be a book about that somewhere.
You’re describing “The Illuminati: The Secret Society That Hijacked the World” by Jim Marrs, unless that’s the joke.
CIA sold crack…what else does the govt need to do to convince us they will do anything.
Mos Definitely
So do I. It’s just news because this guy throws a ball real good?
Jesus, because aliens. Got it
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE! That’s all it has ever been. It’s used to hold power over people by preying on their fear of the unknown.
And burning them at the stake if they didn’t do as told.
It’s about power.
Naw, not only manipulation. It’s also poor man’s philosophy. Humans like to have an answer for the big questions wether they know wtf they’re saying or not. I think something like religion is inevitable with the absence of explanations.
gardylouIt’s the rich man’s philosophy too usually. People aren’t really that great at philosophy.
Yea, the Prosperity Gospel is definitely richboi propaganda.
geogleCan You bring it down a notch. We’re all right here
It’s used to hold power over people
Yes. It’s used by the rich to make people into stooges to do their bidding.
