In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,” a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.

He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian.

Where did I say that?

I said quite clearly and specifically that she is lying along w other MAGA about these specific aliens. Your original claim was that her theories were plausible because they've been talked about by others - I say, no, and further, nothing she says is reliable because she is literally a mouthpiece for Putin. Everything she says is propaganda. If you don't know who she is and blindly ran interference for her talking points, that's on you.

Just like how Candace Owens will bitch about carbon dating and isotope dating and will go into the weeds about it to make it seem like dinosaurs weren't real and never existed. These people will co-opt information to make their points seem valid when the whole thing was an elaborate lie to begin with. She is lying.

Tbf, they're kinda not actually denying it anymore since the pentagon released the tic tac video (among others) and actually admitted "yeah this is real and we have no fucking clue what it is." They're just called UAPs now instead of UFOs.

And the interdimensional theory isn't a fabrication of her mind, it's one of the leading theories, along with "actual aliens" and "us from the future." It's not even the wildest theory thrown around, some think the crafts themselves are alive, and the biological looking things we call aliens are the drones. Of course, all just theories.

Now does she "have proof" of any of that beyond what the pentagon has already admitted? Likely not, but someone probably does have some more info than we know, she just ain't in the club.

This is what you replied to. Please point to where I said "she's 100% right and I want to have her babies" or whatever fucking bullshit you think I said. If it's the part where I said "she didn't invent the idea that they're interdimensional" then thanks for playing please try again.

Kindly huff your own farts somewhere else, will you?

Again making up fake stuff - I never claimed you said that. Iirc that's the 3rd time you've made up a false narrative in this comment chain.

I said she is unreliable and the comment you wrote did not mention that at all (because you didn't know who she was). That you then had to make up a bunch of fake arguments is a you thing and weird of you. Could've just said, "yeah she is unreliable," and moved on. Instead you invented random shit to argue about. Go take some b vitamins.

And I really didn't need to know about your fart kink.

Please, please, let go of the notion that there is any kind of sky daddy coming to save you. There's no god, no religious figure, no celebrity, no politician, no aliens who care about you or us or want to save us. There's just you wanting to take care of you, and yeah it would be a relief to not have to do that and struggle, but that's not happening. Let go of sky daddy.

You literally pleaded with me to "give up the sky daddy." Come the fuck on dude. Quit pretending you weren't attempting to be a dick.
