Sargon on UFO's Again

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/02/ufo-disclosure-2023-week-of-objects.html.
Carl Benjamin, aka "Sargon of Akkad", has been venturing outside his personal Overton window more and more in recent years. He has explored the existence of Bigfoot (I'll write a separate article about that) so it was inevitable that he would comment on the recent appearance in North American airspace of "objects". His reaction is disappointing. There's no doubt Carl is a very intelligent and generally analytical man, but his immediate response is a simple: "Don't believe it. It's a psyop... Aliens are not real, simple as... Bull!" He adds: "If it were aliens they wouldn't be reporting on it." Actually they might if the white hats had taken over the Truth Embargo. He then makes a claim many others have, on both sides of the skeptic-woo divide: it's all a distraction. As I say in my own coverage, that can't be ruled out; but a distraction from what? There are a hundred things in the queue right now. Epstein's list, the Ohio train crash, the missing British woman etc. If it's true then it does beg the question: why something so elaborate? I made the same point about the "Strayed Away message", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/03/twitter-voicemail-update.html. Sargon's position is therefore: "aliens don't exist therefore it's not aliens. I know it's not aliens because aliens don't exist." Fallacy City! Sargon can do better than that. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5GbYHm37WI. He brings up Red Dwarf which is not only an outstanding science fiction sitcom, but is full of interesting philosophical themes. One of the characters is a believer in aliens and the other is a skeptic. The latter says in one scene: "There are no aliens, Rimmer. Just you, me, Holly, the cat and a pile of smegging rocks!" What's unusual about Red Dwarf is that although it is set in the distant future and out in deep space, there is no extraterrestrial biology in it at all. The only life is the remains of exploration from the earth. There is actually something about the disbelief in aliens that is very similar to MBA (explanation for new readers: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/10/susan-blackmore-confirms-mba.html) Perhaps I should call it the "We Are Alone Bravery Award- WAABA". Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, the creators of the series, exhibit symptoms of WAABA. Interestingly there are some MBA themes in Red Dwarf too, especially in the episodes: "The Last Day" and "The Inquisitor". As for Sargon of Akkad, I think that a man who has forgotten what the F stands for in TERF is in no position to lecture the rest of us on psyops.
