In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and Jimmy Jr. attempt to unravel the truth behind the NJ drones! Previous Leon in TX sees things from fiction entering into the popular conspiracy lexicon all the time, and uses adrenochrome as an example. Qanon folks love talking about this one! The environment is prime for people believing in these things now and we don’t have the solution to this problem yet. Maybe humans are lazy and don’t put a lot of energy into figuring things out. Steve in NE calls to talk about the claims of how shining a laser on a screen while on DMT, there will be a matrix and a code. If you take substances, you are going to see things. A visual representation for a code is unnecessary for the code to work and it does not make sense for us to have a reason to see this. Is it possible that people see similar things when on similar drugs? How do you know it is code if you can’t even read it? How can information about a drug trip be reliably tested and what are we supposed to do with it? There are better uses of your time if you want to understand the world. Dave AKA Sapper in CA was involved in a mission that took out a leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and has reasons to believe that assassinations are justified. Where do we draw the line here? Which killings are justified and which are not? The answer depends on who is asking the question. What if the killing is not just to save lives but to stop people from saying things? How do we reconcile state interests not aligning with the people’s interests? The justification for violence is sometimes used to promote the status quo. Daniel in Canada is calling to talk about the drones the size of SUVs being sited in the NJ skyline and the U.S. does not claim these drones as theirs. Are these alien drones or are they ships carrying things? Why would the aliens just want to mess with NJ people? If we are going to talk about aliens doing stuff, we just have to have stronger reasons to believe this. Why would aliens be the best explanation of these things when there are so many other possibilities? Jon in Canada has taken the time to call and says Merry Christmas! Dan in Canada heard reports that the drones came in over the ocean and trailed a Coast Guard vessel and wonders if this is counter intelligence. At least at this point in time, nobody is taking credit for this. It is unlikely that someone local has the resources for this and has a probability of it being a covert operation of some sort. Either we do know and we are not saying, or we don’t, and that can be a whole other problem. Betty in MO says that nobody has the right answer for when it is okay to assassinate someone. Wasn’t a government killing what happened to Jesus? Why is it so much better when the government does this for you? The two are joined by back-up host, Kelley Laughlin before closing out the show. Thank you for tuning in! Prompt of the week is: What really triggered the war on Christmas?
