We’ve got plenty of readers who probably remember when Jimmy Carter saw a UFO: one of a dozen or so warning signs.
The Clintons had a much bigger UFO obsession that the media chose to underreport on.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that if she is elected, she will ‘get to the bottom’ of questions over what the government knows about UFOs and aliens.
When asked if she would support UFO disclosure group efforts, she enthusiastically said ‘yes’.
‘Yes, I’m going to get to the bottom of it,’ Hillary Clinton told The Sun reporter last week.
The chair of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, John Podesta, an obsessive UFO buff, appeared on an episode of Ancient Aliens which claimed that Hillary Clinton was defeated to suppress the truth about space aliens.
In 2014, Bill Clinton told late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel that he wouldn’t be surprised if aliens visited Earth, and last week
When Bill Clinton appointed Webster Hubbell as his Associate Attorney General, he gave him two priorities.
“If I put you over at Justice I want you to find the answers to two questions for me,” Hubbell recalled. “One, who killed JFK. And two, are there UFOs.”
John Podesta released a statement in 2014 in which he said his biggest regret during his time as a top adviser for President Barack Obama was not securing the release of classified UFO Files.
‘Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #the truthisstilloutthere,’ he said.
This was more than just harmless nuttery once you follow the Rockefeller connection.
The Clintons may have picked up their flying saucer obsession from Laurance S. Rockefeller, a environmentalist UFO obsessive and major Clinton donor who got them involved in his UFO Initiative.
Laurance S. Rockefeller was a founding trustee of Rockefeller Brothers Fund (being evil since 1940) and quite wealthy. He was an environmentalist , and like many environmentalists held oddball unscientific beliefs about ESP and UFOs.
Documents from the Rockefeller Initiative posted on Bassett’s website suggest that the first lady was kept in the loop. A November 1995 letter to Gibbons from one of Rockefeller’s lawyers included a draft letter to President Clinton “which Laurance has been discussing with Mrs. Clinton and her staff.” Three months later, Rockefeller wrote Gibbons about the letter, which the White House was apparently in no hurry to receive: “It well may be that it will be timely to put this before the President late this year in order that it might receive attention in a second term. You indicated that you will keep the First Lady’s Office informed, and we shall as well.”
Nuttery in political circles is rarely harmless these days and a belief in UFOs often overlaps with radical environmentalism and all sorts of supernatural notions that also line up with hostility to religion and totalitarian politics like those of the Left.
Now that takes us to Barack Obama.
Former President Barack Obama said in an interview published Saturday that aliens are “real,” but added that he hadn’t seen them.
Why does every Dem president seem to be into UFOs? The question is the answer.
