Transgenderism and UFOs (brilliant, in a way)
American Thinker ^ | Robert Arvay

Posted on 03/19/2023 8:45:40 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

In 1965, a man named Lambros D. Callimahos was working as a cryptologist with the NSA. He produced a seminal paper on how the United States should, and indeed must, for the sake of national survival, study what was then known as the UFO (more recently UAP) phenomenon. As I read excerpts from that highly influential paper, I became struck as to how closely his words in the sixties could apply in the 2020s to the transgender movement — and, allow me to reiterate, apart from the moral and political aspects, which generate such intense emotion.

First, Callimahos addressed the question of how many UFO reports might be hoaxes. He said,

If UFOs, contrary to all indications and expectations, are indeed hoaxes — hoaxes of a worldwide dimension — hoaxes of increasing frequency, then a human mental aberration of alarming proportions would seem to be developing. Such an aberration would seem to have serious implications for nations equipped with nuclear toys — and should require immediate and careful study by scientists.

The only hoax attributable to the transgender phenomenon is that men can become women, and vice versa. This is not to say that gender dysphoria is not a serious medical and/or psychological affliction needing compassionate intervention. It is to say that the correct treatment is rarely, if ever, irreversible mutilation or profoundly consequential hormonal treatment — especially by allowing naturally gullible and immature children to make life-changing decisions that are too often profoundly regretted.

Clearly, to us old folks, society has already undergone a "mental aberration of alarming proportions." The dilemma is no longer that of a young, impressionable child, but that of a largely delusional society.

Our country has been invaded and defeated...but why some weird culture (the Woke), not by another country (yet).

We do have to fight back against this invading force and cling to the remnants of our ethos and sanity.

So this means that E.T has a gender after all. I thought Steven Spielberg said he was neither male nor female.

I see that in fine FR tradition, you haven't read the article.

It really isn't about UFOs or aliens. Well, maybe aliens, just not the kind that arrived in UFOs.

Whatever you do, do not search for images of ‘alien drag queen’.

Reprobate minds and a Strong Delusion.

Prophesied for the Last Days.

And the latter associated with the rise of Satan’s anti-messiah, the Antichrist.

Yep. It seems the strong delusion is here.

And what a wacky delusion it is.

BTW, there was a similar period of weirdness in Weimar Germany before the rise of Hitler. Those who have seen the movie Cabaret got a glimpse of it. Looks like what happened in Germany might have been a dress rehearsal after all.

Only in rare cases, such as in postwar Japan, can a conquered society retain most of its identity.

Because we allowed it. We defeated Japan and deliberately chose not to crush it.

This transgenderism sweeping the nation reminds me of the old story of the Emperors new clothes. Charlatans convinced the Emperor that he was getting new clothes when there were no clothes and the Emperor went around naked. None of his subjects daring to state the obvious least they be severely punished. Finally a small child saw the Emperor and stated the obvious...the Emperor was naked and had no clothes.

Perhaps this whole transgenderism will end when someone is finally brave enough to say this is insane and let the woke be damned

he negative effect on man’s ability to survive in an increasingly complex world would be considerable — making it imperative that such a growing impairment of the human capacity for rational judgment be subjected to immediate and thorough scientific study so that the illness could be controlled before it reaches epidemic proportions.


and we spent all our money on global warming and racism.

we must find a way to yield only what we absolutely must, and entrench, where we can, the principles that make America great.


Another way so say MAGA.

How could we have crushed the Japanese people? That would have been completely out of character for this country.

Yes, Rooster, but what bothers me is that zero analysis on how the left got our butts against the wall to begin with, is being looked at. Conservatives face a wall of leftist insanity and propaganda because...? If you conclude that we did nothing wrong, that our strategies were correct and successful, yet somehow a tide of sexually ridiculous libertine sociopaths got the better of us, what is it about your conclusions that must be changed? What are we doing wrong to suffer this defeat? Cuz if we had done everything right, we wouldn’t be fighting for our lives, eh?

Jaw-dropping

God says he will heat things up in Revelation. Man Gets ahead of the narrative to claim Global Warming. God says there’s going to be a “rescue” of his people. Man gets ahead of the narrative to claim UFOs…
