  1. Every time I seen a clip of american news stations im so confused as to how that brain rot made it onto tv. It feels like my brain was force fed a cold big mac and spritz with lighter fluid. (Im from Éire btw) (reacting to the montage of cnbc not john)

  2. This video cannot be viewed in beautiful Germany, the cradle of civilization. I think there are some expressions in the title that drive Germany crazy. I could only watch it by connecting to Cyprus with vpn.

  3. O mankind, indeed We(Allah) have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.[Quran 49:13] O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah , witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.[Quran 5:8]

  4. These are not Pro-Palestinian protests, these are Anti-Israel protests. They shout stuff like "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" and "intifada". These are calls to the destruction of Israel. Jewish students in universities are not safe due to these people. But people are like "…no, it's not antisemitism, it's anti-zionism". Give me a break. If the protestors really wanted peace for Gaza, they would call for Hamas to free the hostages and give up their arms. But they don't. These demonstrations are reinforcing an extreme Islamic fundementalist terrorist organization.

  5. It doesn't make any sense to spend all that money and effort for explaining every blurry image in a video. I'm sure they are checking everything to make sure it isn't some Russian, Iranian or Chinese new technology, but you also want them to produce tons of explanations, so you can be sure it is really not this very unlikely space craft. It's not. It there are Aliens out there that managed to get to planet earth, their technology will be so advanced, I doubt if we can even spot it.
    There are more important things to spend money and effort on then producing 4 hours of explanations because of some video.
    I actually saw something strange in the sky myself about 30 years ago. Still remember that. I didn't have a video camera with me. Ok, I saw it. Don't know what it was, but I'm quite sure it was something earthly. Maybe someone was experimenting with laser beams. Maybe someone less skeptical then me would assume there were two crazy UFOs. Although it was very strange I don't think it worth the time of clever people to investigate.

  6. Islamophobia? Really? Entire world is burning because of this 1 religion and they are the ones causing hate against Jews in US colleges and streets. What's wrong with you? Wokness means ignoring crimes of this religion and protecting them by peddling false narratives.

  7. Так надоело это нытье пропалестинское, палестинцы будут свободны, когда Израиль расхерачит Хамас, взявший граждан в заложники. Simple as that

  8. It might also be worth noting that the vast majority of UFO sightings are 1) in America and 2) in English speaking and Nordic countries. You could make an explanation that accounts for that, it's just odd and seems to support the people expecting to see UFOs seeing UFOs.

    I will also say that while what is happening in Gaza is terrible, it's weird how everyone seems to put all the blame only on Israel. Israel responded to an attack and, as noted here, the captured hostages have not been freed. Hamas, who is ruling Gaza, has not made efforts for peace and is perfectly happy for the war to continue. Mostly because everyone is happy to buy into their propaganda. If people want to protest for peace in Gaza, they not only need to address that to Israel but to Hamas who initiated the current conflict but have made no efforts to end it.

  9. About UFOs: "However, there have been a certain percentage of this volume of reports that have been made by credible observers of relatively incredible things."… Are all witnesses lying?

  10. We saw #uap #ufo , 2003/04 , summer, 3/4am, southern Spain, a distant speck of light, seemingly far away, that sort of looked like a satellite orbiting, then clearly rapidly approaching, becoming two lights, performing a 10-30 second chase sequence in the distant sky, then speed away into the distance until disappearance

  11. The thing about UFOs that makes them so unbelievable is that they always have something to do with the U.S. government or the U.S. military. If there's something in the air, why would it always float somewhere where an American military personnel can see it, film it and then write a report about it that isn't allowed to be released? Why is the plot always the same? The U.S. government might be secretive but there are SO many other governments in the world – no reason to think that if they had seen something consistently over the years, they would just stay quiet about it. Not all governments are the same, but of course the Americans would think so because their distrust toward their own is so intense, and maybe for a good reason, but that also explains the whole phenomenon to me.

  12. John is a fucking idiot :D , just kidding but very disappointed about the summary. The government will not now, or at a future point openly say that they are studying alien/foreign made tech or made any contact, because the situation is completely out of their control. I was a huge sceptic all my life but the amount of evidence and people who started speaking out is too overwhelming to think otherwise.

  13. Gaza sinks into famine. Have you seen the video of aid packages being sold in Gaza markets. If people are starving there it's because of Hamas, not because of lack of aid.

  14. So in those 40 minutes of video, John thinks it is perfect to talk about Palestians + Gaza Protest + Islamophia for 10 minutes and 30 minutes about UFOs. Perfectly aligned as UFOs are so much more important. Well done.

  15. You might protest in the right cause but your actions might push those on the neutral to the opposition, oh wait we don’t protest and casusing distruption in front of the senate and decision maker because they will call cop to atk you immediately but the normal people don’t.

  16. If disruption is ok then anybody can barge into your studio in the name of supporting anti-Hamas strikes as well. Disruptions like these are not right..

  17. Honestly, if your protest has the goal to inconvenience normal people, you are doing something wrong. Inconvenience those in power who can actually stop the crisis, not people rushing to work who just want to make a living.

  18. For people who know photography, many of the examples of UFOs shown are actually problems with either the camera sensor or the lens. When you point a camera at something, it does not stay in the same position in the frame throughout the whole panning motion, unless it is something stuck on the camera's sensor or lens. Could be dead pixels or just dust stuck on the sensor or lens.

  19. I'm surprised they did a whole episode on UFOs without mentioning Bob Lazar, David Grusch or the Congressional Hearings that have been happening the last 12 months

  20. I saw an excellent analysis of the footage at 30:35 in the video, they used the publicly available details such as speed, heading, and similar along with tracking the footage itself. And a simple solution is that it's a reflection of the laser guidance system. Which was new at the time, and while details of how it works is still classified to some level the knowledge that one was implemented is not. Working with those assumptions, and tracking the footage to the best ability with how grainy it is makes a compelling argument that it's simply footage of a flaw in the newly installed system.

    I'd love to give a direct link, but youtube doesn't allow such things anymore. It was one of the debunking channels that went through it though, I think it was Captain Disillusion. Lots of good debunks there, going over video footage and showing how it was faked. In this case it wasn't faked, but simply misinterpreted footage.

    It also makes sense that a military guidance system, and especially any flaws in it, would be classified.
