Maybe this is where everyone ends up after studying the phenomenon for a bit, but it’s so discouraging and tiresome to be pushed around by the disinformation complex that surrounds this topic. I know that’s the point, to wear us down, confuse us, or following leads that don’t exist. But it’s hard to not become paranoid and just want to give up. My frustration this week is around abduction accounts and how many of the famous abductee figures have suspicious ties to military and/or intelligence. The tricky part is that the abductee themselves have been through a genuine experience, just maybe not genuine in the way they think. Whether it’s a programmed experience planted in their brain, an MK-Ultra situation, or an elaborate hoax, these abductees would be unaware that it was orchestrated by intelligence operations, and it would feel very real to them. They would be authentic and truthful and they would pass lie detector test. This is just one example. How can you study something without being able to confidently trust the information you’re consuming? The only thing I’m 100% certain of is that the phenomenon exists and has been here since the beginning of history and likely before. I just wish I could know more than that and feel relatively confident I have the right info. submitted by /u/lifeisbeautiful08 [link] [comments]
