Putin Vs Cabal - Duration: 3:14.
Putin Vs. Cabal
I have to say�there are very few on this planet making more a fool of the Cabal on
live television right now than Putin.
I have been following geopolitics since my awakening a few years ago and Putin always
knocks it out of the park every time.
I�m not sure why the Cabal bothers to attack him, he has very powerful allies behind him
and he�s sharp as a tack.
His latest victim was a double whammy with Megyn Kelly both at the 2017 SPIEF (St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum) and a smaller room setting in Russia I believe:
The second one was a one on one with poor Cabal stooge Megyn.
I have to wonder if Putin is so exhausted from hearing the same nonsense from different
puppets all the time.
I sure am�Both interviews are great, but the one below is the best:
Here is a compilation I found of Putin and his best moments dealing with the Cabal and
their henchmen�
Here is one of him putting CBS�s Charlie Rose in his place:
He also humiliates CNN�s Fareed Zakaria during a similar questioning to what Megyn
Kelly did in the above interviews:
And last but not least here is one of an obvious Cabal henchman journalist getting quite the
verbal butt-kicking from Vlad:
I�d like to shout out to Putin�s team also, who are working day and night to prevent
WWIII and keep the Cabal from going any farther than they have been.
Same for all the folks in the Resistance Movement and other covert groups for the same reasons�you
are all the best and we appreciate everything you do�much love as always�

The Secret League of Legends Server - Duration: 7:56.
What's up guys it's me Jeremy.
We all have our own servers we play on, be it North America, Europe, Korea or perhaps
the PBE.
But there is another League of Legends server that isn't actually available to the public.
This server is called the Tournament Realm.
Perhaps you might know about the existence of the Tournament Realm - the secret League
of Legends server - but very few ever get the chance to actually play on it.
As a result you might tend to assume it's the same as the conventional League servers
but is mostly kept private for use by tournaments and the LCS, but in reality there are quite
a few differences that you might not expect.
One of the most common misunderstandings about the Tournament Realm is that it's accessed
using the Tournament Code feature on any normal server - but that feature in question actually
behaves more like a specialised custom game lobby.
The Tournament Realm is completely separate from the regular gameservers, to the point
where you actually need a separate client and account to play on it.
Players in major tournaments like IEM or the LCS are given links under a loose NDA directly
from Riot to where they can download a copy of the Tournament Realm client - this link
is kept secret and changed often to avoid it being leaked to the average player base.
This means useage is entirely limited to professional players, and a handful of amateur players
that require access for tournament qualifiers.
This might suggest that the Tournament Realm isn't a live server and is LAN-exclusive,
but we actually know that's not the case.
After the release of Dynamic Queue, pro players complained that high ELO matchmaking was a
total mess, which lead to them using the Tournament Realm to soloqueue against each other.
This tells us that although the Tournament Realm is always online, there's simply no
way to access it unless Riot has specifically sent you the download link and provided you
with an account.
Notably Riot only laid down one rule for pro players that wanted to use the Tournament
Realm to set up their own little matchmaking system - they were not permitted to stream
games on it, which pretty much serves as a testament to how secretive Riot are when it
comes to the Tournament Realm.
But it also goes to show that the Tournament Realm can be used for more than just professional
LAN Matches, although it is used for those as well.
If you ever managed to get hold of a Tournament Realm account, there would be a few things
you'd immediately notice.
For starters, pretty much everything is unlocked.
All the champions are ready to be used without purchase, and most cosmetic items are also
available, but with a few notable exceptions.
There are actually a multitude of skins that are disabled to use on this server, and with
good reason; they either confuse the spectator experience, or they are seen as giving a slight
advantage to players.
A well known example of this was perhaps Steel Legion Lux, whose abilities were quite a bit
harder to see, at least compared to her other skins, and as a result was disabled on this
server among many other skins as well.
Riot recently started doing quite a few 'VFX Clarity' updates to some of these skins,
so more skins are available today on the Tournament Realm than in the past.
It's quite difficult to piece together exactly which skins are banned or useable on the Tournament
Realm as Riot occasionally fixes one or adds a new skin to the list, and they also are
quite secretive in keeping the full list quiet from the public.
From the few Rioters I contacted about this information, all of them came back to me and
said that they were unavailable to release the list because the people who had the authority
to decide to share that information had decided keep the list private.
The Tournament Realm is also what allows Riot to setup features such as the Ekko Rewind
thing we've seen before, without potentially risking any bugs entering the normal game.
These features are exclusive to the Tournament realm, and the Rewind feature was just one
of which there may be many, and certainly more to come.
It also seems likely that Riot has the ability to use the Tournament Realm on a local connection,
since larger tournaments are played on LAN to remove the influence of network lag during
a competition.
And if it wasn't clear, the LAN tournaments that make up all of League Esports are played
on the Tournament Realm.
This also makes it quite likely that Tournament Realm users have the option to connect to
multiple servers, or even a custom server, because LAN events occur all over the world.
There still must be an active online server in addition to the LAN functionality though,
since without it pro players wouldn't have been able to use matchmaking on the Tournament
Realm without being in the same place as one other.
League of Legends games played over Local Area Networks typically have around 7-8 ping
as reported by professional players - you might expect the server 1 ping or even 0,
but there actually will always be some form of delay even on a local connection.
Having said that, 7 or 8 is still incredibly responsive and is a big reason why so many
NA and EU teams like to boot camp in South Korea.
Not only is the competition there more challenging, but Korea's internet infrastructure is super
advanced, with most players all over the country having around 10 or 11 ping, regardless of
how good their internet is.
For an online connection that's insanely good, and it provides pros a much more realistic
practice environment, similar to what they'd expect when playing over LAN on the Tournament
Realm, compared to having to play with 30 or 40, sometimes as much as 60, maybe even
more ping depending on where they live and which server they are connecting to.
Either way, that just about wraps up all of the information I was able to find about the
Tournament Realm.
It's quite an interesting server to look at, considering it's what pros play the
LCS on.
So I hope you enjoyed this inside look, and I'll see you guys next time.

5 Most Controversial Family Guy Episodes - Duration: 8:02.
Elite Facts Presents
5 Most Controversial Family Guy Episodes
5.
Partial Terms of Endearment We're just going to go ahead and get the
2 most obvious choices out of the way at the start of the video, Starting with Partial
Terms of Endearment.
Anyone who's a big Family Guy fan will know about this episode due to the simple fact
that is has been banned in the United States.
This is considered to be this decade's version of "Wish Upon a Weinstein" as it was Fox
themselves who pulled the episode in fear that they would offend the wrong group of
people.
Unlike "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein," which was initially banned by Fox but eventually
aired on Adult Swim, this episode has still never aired on American television (Although
it was aired on BBC Three in the United Kingdom and could be purchased on DVD with Seth and
Alex Almost-Live Comedy Show thrown in as an added bonus) The plot sees Lois seriously
considering having an abortion after she agrees to carry a child for a couple that dies in
a car crash.
The episode also features an anti-abortion film featuring a character named "Ziggy
The Zygote," who suffers a brutal death.
Yeah i think we can easily see why Fox decided to pull the episode.
Now, This episode was surprisingly well received by both audiences and critics which is very
surprising considering the subject at hand.
With many critics praising the
4.
Ironically, Fox would later release an episode in 2009 called "Family Goy" that would
delve even further into offensive Jewish stereotypes.
In 2007, the Bourne Company, owners of the song "When You Wish Upon A Star", actually
sued Family Guy for copyright infringement for the comedic take on the tune.
The case was eventually thrown out by a judge.
Times of course have changed and it has in fact been aired, but this episode has certainly
not come without its share of controversy.
After a wonderfully insulting ballad, Peter gets what he's prayed for; a "Member of
the Tribe" arrives at his doorstep.
Originally this episode was pulled from the airing schedule by FOX who deemed it too inappropriate
for public consumption.
3.
Wish Upon a Weinstein Wish Upon a Weinstein is the oldest episode
on this list to stir up a ton of controversy.
Now on the surface, This doesn't seem too bad of an episode.
In fact it isn't when compared to other adult comedies.
The episode was intended to air in 2000 as the beginning of the third season way after
production was made years ago, but Fox executives were concerned about its content, believing
it could be interpreted as anti-Semitic, and did not allow it to air on television.
Due to popular demand, it was instead aired on Adult Swim in 2003.
The premise of this episode centers around Peter and his family are facing financial
ruin.
Because of this, he does what any logical person would do, wish upon a twinkling star
in the night's sky for a Jewish person.
Screams of Silence: A Brenda Quagmire Story Now personally speaking, This episode is just
down right disgusting with how they tackle such a controversial and serious subject.
Yes i know we're talking about Family Guy here, But it is possible to have both humor
and deliver a serious message to those watching out there.
It's possible but instead they decide to take the shock value route that they always
take.
In season 10, Family Guy dedicated an entire episode to the delicate topic of domestic
abuse when Quagmire discovers that his sister, Brenda, is being systematically beaten by
her boyfriend.
As you'd probably expect, The reviews were universally negative and the criticisms even
harsher, including Terron R. Moore, of Ology, who stated, "The Family Guy writing staff
needed a new way to get out a bunch of pent-up misogyny and anger".
It should really be no surprise whatsoever that this episode was destined for controversy
from the get go considering how touchy of a subject it is.
Admittedly, and this has also been pointed out by critics as well, Guest star, Kaitlin
Olson of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fame does get a few laughs as her character
Brenda alway comes up with the lamest and convoluted excuses for her partner's violence.One
thing we can say about this episode is how the writing staff do take shots at those who
witness domestic abuse themselves like having Joe say, "Sorry, police policy is that we
can't step in until it's too late".
So in a way this episode does show some effort in terms of what the police and bystanders
are doing wrong but the rest of the episode is just so inappropriate and bitter.
2.
Quagmire's Dad Given Family Guy's past of tackling controversial
or touchy subjects, It's kind of safe to say that they're not very good at mixing
a serious subject with comedy so that it's balanced while also sending out a message
to those watching (I mean, look at the previous episode on this list).
This is another example in which they took a touchy subject and decided to use it for
shock value.
The story is as follows.
When Quagmire's father returns to Quahog, Peter and Joe assume he's gay, but we later
find out that Quagmire's dad is a transgender woman, and that he plans on having gender
reassignment surgery while in Quahog.
The episode also includes a subplot in which Brian ends up having sex with Quagmire's
dad.
Many viewers and critics have made comparisons between Quagmire's Dad and the mis-handled
film "I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry".
Much like the film, this episode wants to act like it's preaching a message of acceptance
while also making the cheapest jokes you can possibly imagine.
Unsurprisingly, this episode was roundly criticized universally panned when it first aired.
Oddly enough, Seth MacFarlane's other show, The Cleveland Show came under fire only 6
months earlier for similar reasons of mishandling a transgender character.
who defended the episode, and was also supported by Bill Maher, the host of Real Time.
The episode got more criticism from the Parents Television Council during its original broadcast.
Did we miss any out?....Who are we kidding, We've probably missed plenty of controversies.
Let us know in the comments below.
Thanks for watching.
Andrea Fay Friedman, who was also diagnosed with Down syndrome and portrayed the character
of Ellen, publicly refuted Palin, instead supporting executive producer and series creator
Seth MacFarlane,
The episode generated significant controversy.
Former Governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who
is referenced briefly in the episode as being the mother of Ellen, took offense to the episode's
portrayal of Down syndrome, due to her son's diagnosis of the disorder.
Chris does what he promised and asked out a classmate at his school, named Ellen, who
has Down syndrome, and eventually takes her on a romantic date.
It must be said that Extra Large Medium was pretty well received with critics as they
claimed that this episode was a pleasant surprise.
Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V.
Club commented that he felt that the Chris plot line was "hung together in a way the
storylines usually don't on this show," adding that, "I'll give the show points for both
degree of difficulty and pulling off something I didn't think it would."
Regardless of this however, This episode is still shrouded in controversy.
After Chris and Stewie go missing during a family hike in the woods, Chris makes a promise
to ask a girl in his class out if they get rescued.
Soon after being rescued,
1.
Extra Large Medium So the last 2 episodes kind of show what's
wrong with modern Family Guy.
It mishandles real life issues and adds in shock humor to get a cheap laugh.
This is essentially what Family Guy is all about these days.
However, Every so often, Seth MacFarlane and his writing team manage to put out a good
episode that tackles certain issues appropriately.
Extra Large Medium is one of those episodes.
On the surface, This episode looks like it's taking a cheap shot at people with Down Syndrome,
However it clearly isn't the case when actually watching it.
Thanks for watching!

Amber Rose Posts Bottomless NSFW Photo, Urges Women to 'Bring Back the Bush' - Duration: 1:56.
For Complex News, I'm Hanuman Welch.
At some point during Game 4 of the NBA Finals Amber Rose began trending on Twitter for what
turned out to be very good reason.
Rose drew attention away from the Cavs and Warriors game by posting a bottomless photo
of herself with the caption "#Amberroseslutwalk."
The very not safe for work photo isn't the first time Rose has used the female form to
promote awareness, and as the caption suggests, Rose was referencing her upcoming third annual
Amber Rose SlutWalk Festival, which is scheduled for Oct. 1, 2017 in Los Angeles.
The un-edited version is still up on her Twitter page alongside a link with more details about
the Slut Walk
Instagram has since removed the photo, but the unedited version of the pic is still up
on Twitter.
In the meantime, she's also responded to Instagram's removal of her photo.
"When IG deletes ur fire ass feminist post but you really don't give a fuck because
everyone picked it up already," Rose wrote in a subsequent selfie post, which used the
hastags #amberroseslutwalk and #bringbackthebush.
Rose began the SlutWalk in 2015, and the practice had already picked up steam as a means to
bring awareness to issues such as victim blaming, reproductive rights, and what is commonly
referred to as "slut-shaming."
The practice of SlutWalks is largely credited to Heather Jarvis and Sonya JF Barnett after
a police officer at Toronto's York University told women to avoid dressing like sluts to
curb sexual assault incidents in 2011.
Rose told Complex in a 2015 profile leading up to the inaugural SlutWalk,
"I thought, 'This is almost everything that I've ever been through or deal with
every single day," "I should have my own SlutWalk."
Rose and the SlutWalk Festival's organizers have described the upcoming gathering as "a
zero-tolerance event, and we do not condone hateful language, racism, sexism, ableism,
fat-shaming, transphobia, or any other bigotry."

Winners and losers from Comey's testimony - Duration: 11:09.
Winners and losers from Comey�s testimony
BY JONATHAN EASLEY
It was a dramatic day that gripped Washington.
Former FBI Director James Comey appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee, where he
provided new insights into his relationship with President Trump and the investigation
into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Here are the winners and losers from an explosive day on Capitol Hill.
WINNERS
Former FBI Director James Comey
Comey rode into the Thursday hearing on a wave of positive press. He figures to go back
to civilian life on the same high.
Comey�s seven-page opening statement was praised for its prose and will be remembered
for its portrayal of excruciating personal interactions involving a president at war
with his FBI director.
Comey�s reputation for being �politically savvy� will grow after he revealed that
he engineered the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russia by sharing his
notes about conversations with Trump through an intermediary to The New York Times � for
the express purpose of getting the counsel picked.
There will definitely be some blowback for Comey, who had criticized leaks while serving
as FBI director. His admission of sharing the notes underlines his image as a Washington
player � and perhaps not in a completely complimentary way.
Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz ripped Comey at a presser after the hearing, criticizing
the leak as improper and insisting that Trump never asked for his loyalty.
Yet the bipartisan praise he won from senators on the Intelligence panel will make it more
difficult for critics to tar him.
And Comey�s reputation as someone who looked out for an independent FBI is unlikely to
be shaken.
Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.)
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee needed a substantive hearing after top intelligence
officials rebuffed his panel�s questions a day earlier.
Burr got what he needed � dramatic and explosive testimony from Comey that was conducted with
precision and control amid a national frenzy.
The chairman has had his ups and downs; Burr sparked a political firestorm by talking over
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) at a rowdier hearing on Wednesday.
But Burr looked like a responsible leader on Thursday, and his positive relationship
with Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the panel�s vice chairman, has helped the Intelligence
Committee�s reputation for independence withstand partisan fighting over the Russia
probe.
After Thursday�s hearing, Burr and Warner held a joint press conference where they again
showed off their ability to cooperate and share the spotlight.
The Intelligence Committee has a reputation as a credible investigative body, and much
of that is due to Burr.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.)
Harris�s profile is rising fast.
On Wednesday, liberals rushed to her defense after Burr scolded her for a contentious exchange
with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Harris then kicked off Thursday with an appearance on NBC's �The Today Show.�
At the hearing, Harris � who previously served as attorney general for California
� approached Comey in a lighthearted exchange that provoked the former FBI director to acknowledge
that he�s �between opportunities� professionally.
Then she focused on Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Comey�s responses raised new questions
about the circumstances surrounding Sessions�s decision to recuse himself from the Russia
investigation following reports that he talked with the Russian ambassador several times
before the election.
Expect chatter about Harris as a potential 2020 presidential candidate to grow.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)
Rubio, a former presidential candidate, and Trump clashed on the campaign trail, with
the president memorably dismissing the Florida Republican as �Little Marco.�
On Thursday, Rubio was Trump�s most effective defender.
Rubio pressed Comey on why it would be so bad for the president to want to be exonerated
publicly. He argued that there was nothing nefarious about the president asking for loyalty
and blasted the FBI for its leaks.
�This investigation is full of leaks, left and right,� Rubio said. �I mean, we've
learned more from the newspapers sometimes than we do from our open hearings.
�You ever wonder why, of all the things in this investigation, the only thing that's
never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation, despite
the fact that both Democrats and Republicans in the leadership of Congress knew that, and
have known that for weeks?�
Rubio denies that he was defending Trump, but conservatives cheered his challenge to
Comey, which sought to poke holes in the media's Russia narrative.
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller
Comey used the Intelligence Committee platform to flatter his former boss and talk up the
credibility of Mueller�s special investigation into Russia�s involvement in the 2016 election
and possible collusion with Trump's campaign.
�Mueller is one of the best public servants this country has ever produced," Comey said.
Muller already had a sterling reputation heading into Thursday�s hearing. More than either
of the ultra-politicized congressional probes, Mueller�s investigation figures to be the
final word on the Russia matter.
Washington, D.C., bars
It was standing-room only at Duffy�s Irish Pub at 10 a.m. when Comey took the stand,
a phenomenon that played out across the city�s drinking spots.
Eager to capitalize on the Comey frenzy, bars across Washington opened early and hawked
insider-y specials such as the �Covfefe Cocktail.�
The atmosphere wasn�t necessarily festive � bar-goers often sat in silence, mesmerized
by the proceedings.
But it was the rare political event that could produce NFL Sunday-style turnout. Bar owners
capitalized.
LOSERS
President Trump
There was much to be relieved about after Thursday�s hearing if you were Trump or
his staff.
The legal case against Trump didn�t grow from Comey�s testimony, which included no
new bombshells.
There is still no evidence that Trump campaign officials colluded with Russia, and Comey
would not say that the president sought to obstruct justice by asking him to �lift
the cloud� over his administration and the investigation into former national security
adviser Michael Flynn.
Comey also said Trump was not under investigation while he was at the FBI, validating public
remarks by the president.
Still, it�s never a good day when an FBI director accuses you of being a liar and defaming
the federal law enforcement power.
Overall, it was another bad day in politics for Trump, who has had many of those in recent
weeks.
The Comey drama and the Russian probe are badly hampering Trump�s ability to govern.
The president�s job approval rating hit a new low this week and his agenda has stalled
in Congress.
Comey�s testimony will only thicken the �cloud� of controversy that Trump, according
to the former FBI director, really wanted to see lifted.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
Thursday was a similarly bad day for Sessions, who has already had a bad week. ?
The former FBI director hinted darkly about �facts� he couldn�t reveal in an open
session that might explain why Sessions had to recuse himself from the investigation into
Russian meddling.
This suggests there may be more shoes to drop for Sessions when it comes to Russia.
Amid cascading reports that Sessions is on the outs with Trump and has offered his resignation,
the news that there could be future stories about Russia is hardly helpful.
The White House for days refused to say whether Trump had confidence in his attorney general.
Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders finally relented on Thursday, giving Sessions a vote
of confidence as Comey testified.
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch
Comey savaged his former boss, casting her as a politically driven attorney general who
sought to interfere with his investigation into Hillary Clinton�s use of a private
email server while secretary of State in order to protect her presidential campaign.
The former FBI director detailed how Lynch had pressured him to describe the Clinton
probe as a political �matter� rather than a criminal investigation.
Comey directly tied Lynch�s pressure back to Clinton, saying he believes Lynch was pushing
that line because of pressure from the campaign.
�That gave me a queasy feeling,� Comey said.
Conservatives are calling for an investigation.
The media
There has been a lot of back-patting going on between media outlets congratulating themselves
for explosive scoops pertaining to the Russia investigation.
Comey threw a wet blanket on that.
�There have been many, many stories based on � well, lots of stuff, but about Russia
that are dead wrong,� Comey said.
He singled out one New York Times story, called �Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts
With Russian Intelligence,� describing it as �almost entirely wrong.�
Comey said incorrect reports are frustrating to the FBI because its policy is not to comment
on the media's coverage of its investigations, even when the press is getting it wrong.
The remarks are sure to fuel the Trump administration, which has repeatedly railed against �fake
news� and the media�s reliance on unnamed sources. It comes during a week in which stories
from CNN and ABC about Comey�s testimony required heavy corrections.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Political watchers were eager to see the exchange between Comey and McCain, the 30-year veteran
of the Senate and fierce Trump critic.
McCain is not an official member of the Intelligence Committee. He was granted an ex officio seat
by virtue of being the chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
But McCain fumbled through an unfocused line of questioning, starting with Comey�s handling
of the investigation into Clinton�s private email server.
�I�m a little confused, senator,� Comey said midway through.
There were no meaningful or impactful moments from their exchange and McCain was roundly
mocked for his performance on social media.
�Maybe going forward I shouldn�t stay up late watching the Diamondbacks night games,�
McCain said in a statement later.
The Diamondbacks later sent out a shrug emoji in response.

UFO Disinformation Agent Exposed Fake Alien Invasion Scare Sponsored by Air Force Discredits Ufol - Duration: 16:34.
UFO Disinformation Agent Exposed -- Fake Alien Invasion Scare Sponsored by Air Force Discredits
Ufologist | A Case Study
by Justin Deschamps,
Ufology is the study of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), or as they are being called
today, Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP).
The field is diverse in what it covers, ranging from the study of patents that could reveal
the existence of advanced technology covertly developed by governments the world over, UFO
sightings, whistleblower testimony, and declassified or otherwise procured documentation.
It is this latter category of research that is the focus of the following article, which
tells the story of a successful government disinformation campaign from the '80s.
According to researcher Alejandro Rojas, in the 1980s, a man by the name of Paul Bennewitz
lived near Kirtland Airforce base in New Mexico.
He reported seeing strange objects in the area to the Air Force, particularly an area
where nuclear assets were stored, saying he was also in communication with extraterrestrials.
Normally, such reports would be disregarded as nonsense, but the Air Force decided to
used this man as a patsy in a disinformation campaign, because he was actually witnessing
secret projects.
At least this is what FOIA documentation revealed upon the request of Rojas, some years later.
Rojas states the Air Force sent in Special Agent Richard Doty to communicate with Bennewitz,
who was likely surprised to be taken seriously after he presented his testimony to the Air
Force.
Doty was told by his superiors to make Bennewitz believe a hostile alien invasion was about
to take place, and was also told to fabricate documents as "proof" to help convince Bennewitz.
Doty also gave these hoaxed documents to other UFO researchers.
After some time, Bennewitz checked himself into a mental institution for paranoia, believing
an alien invasion was looming.
The disinformation campaign worked, Bennewitz was discredited and covert projects run by
the Air Force remained secret.
While it isn't clear if ufology continued to spread the fabricated information, this
case stands as a clear example of state-sponsored cover ups.
The FOIA documentation clearly states, according to Rojas, that Doty was under orders to discredit
Bennewitz in an effort to cover up the Air Force's secret activities.
This is a very important piece of history to come to terms with, as it suggests documentation,
and other data sources, may not be wholly accurate, and may even be part of a disinformation
campaign to muddy the waters.
This isn't some wild conspiracy theory either, as state-sponsored cover ups are actually
legally enforced.
In Dr. Michael Salla�s book, Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs & Extraterrestrial Alliances,
Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (USAPs) are discussed in which participants are given
authority to hide their activities from the public.
Waived USAPs are a more secretive set of programs not required to report any of their activities
or existence for congressional oversight.
In these deep-black projects, oral briefs are provided to read-in persons only�those
individuals who have a valid need to know.
Participants are authorized to deny the existence of these programs under any circumstances,
including congressional subpoena, and are provided a cover story to hide the project's
existence.
A supplement to the DoD manual related to special access programs states that cover
stories can be generated with the goal of hiding a program's true purpose.
Program Cover stories.
Cover stories may be established for unacknowledged programs in order to protect the integrity
of the program from individuals who do not have a need to know.
Cover stories must be believable and cannot reveal any information regarding the true
nature of the contract.
This suggests that there were most likely two sets of secret programs, one that was
designated deep-black or USAP, and an acknowledged project that would draw public attention.
This is particularly important to know when considering whistleblower testimony, but extends
to ufology and other fields in general.
The process of verifying if a claim is true often involves some kind of vetting process.
But since ufology is not a formally accepted field of research, the standards used by ufologists
vary.
Some rely on corroborating testimony and documentation to authenticate a whistleblower, maintaining
a healthy amount of doubt to account for such great uncertainty.
Others are much less rigorous, making sweeping assumptions that claims are true, resting
on one piece of authentication or another.
The vetting process usually goes something like this:
A new whistleblower comes on the scene claiming to have worked for some secret government
project that was involved with UFOs, advanced technology, or extraterrestrials.
The whistleblower might supply credentials to prove they worked for this or that agency,
such as identification papers, pay stubs, memoranda, or work orders�to name a few.
These documents are then "authenticated" by an expert in the field of documents, who checks
the letterhead, paper quality, as well as other cross-referencing methods to see if
what is presented, on the whole, corresponds with what has already been authenticated.
For example, if a whistleblower claims to have worked for an aerospace company, producing
a work order from the company with their name on it as proof, then an authenticator would
take this document and cross-check it against a known body of documents that are regarded
as authentic.
If everything checks out, then it can be said the person is credible because it was proven
they worked for the company they said they did.
At this point, the whistleblower's testimony, their story, is generally taken to be credible
(believable) owing to the fact their work history checked out.
And for some ufologists, this is good enough to consider their testimony true, or at least
it is more likely to be true.
The more respectable researchers usually leave room for doubt in recognition of the fact
they can't confirm the story itself.
But here's the problem, as was revealed by Rojas FOIA request, documentation can be fabricated.
This means that it is possible the body of documents authenticators use to vet new whistleblowers
may be tainted with fabricated files.
What's more, just because someone can prove they worked for a government agency doesn't
mean they are being genuine about the rest of their claims.
Doty appeared to Bennewitz as a trusted man working for the government�surely what he
said about an alien invasion could be believed, right?
But this didn't turn out to be the case.
Doty capitalized on the fact he appeared credible and used this false trust to spread disinformation,
which was wildly successful.
Similarly, whistleblowers who appear credible could be providing inaccurate information.
They would be doing so either as conscious deceivers or unwittingly as�what are called
in some circles�useful idiots.
A useful idiot is someone being used by an organization�be they government or otherwise�without
their knowledge, often promoting a particular agenda for psychological warfare (PSYOP) purposes,
of which, disinformation is a type of PSYOP.
In the case of Doty, Bennewitz became a useful idiot when he believed the alien invasion
fabrication, and began spreading it in his circles.
The agenda in this case was to discredit him so that no one would believe what he was seeing
around the Kirtland base�secret projects related to the Air Force.
Obviously this presents somewhat of a problem for the field of ufology.
There is such a profound lack of hard evidence to draw from (photographs, video, recovered
objects from UFOs, genetic material, etc.) that often all researchers have to work with
are claims of experiencers and whistleblowers, as well as documentation.
The Doty-Bennewitz case proves that both sources can't be unquestionably trusted�a healthy
amount of doubt needs to be maintained.
But it seems not all ufologists exercise this level of doubt.
Or, swinging to the otherside of the pendulum, some researchers dismiss claims without a
valid basis to do so.
But in either case, unsubstantiated acceptance or rejection of a claim, inobjective analysis,
leads to poor conclusions.
And such conclusions could be mistakenly accepted as facts by other ufologists, who in turn
spread them in their circles as true.
Eventually, a piece of disinformation could become a "well established fact" through the
fallacy of expert consensus.
For example, the Rendlesham Forest incident was initially thought to be a genuine extraterrestrial
encounter, but some suspect it is more likely that it was a secret government project of
some kind.
If consensus was all that was needed to establish a truth, then the world be a much different
place.
It was generally regarded that the earth was flat during the 16th and 17th centuries, but
this didn't change reality at all.
In other words, the truth is not democratic.
Consensus could indicate that something is true, but agreement of opinion doesn't materially
demonstrate a theory or claim is true.
Although many researchers do commendable work, and likely have the best intentions, some
contend that because a witness has been "vetted" the public can believe whatever they say,
without question.
Clearly this isn't advisable as documents can be fabricated and witnesses can lie or
be deceived.
What this means for anyone interested in ufology�or for that matter, any field of research fraught
with uncertainty or lack of hard evidence�is that one cannot set aside objectivity in their
desire to find an answer.
Anyone who's studied ufology long enough realizes the body of data gathered therein is pot marked
by false claims, hoaxed photographs and videos, and fabricated documents.
Obviously this doesn't make it easy to know what is true and what is false.
Especially when some researchers present their findings as 100% verified truth, when in fact,
they should be presented as open-ended conclusions subject to change, because the evidence used
to support them is incomplete.
Contemporaneously, it seems more and more people are becoming curious about UFOs, extraterrestrials,
and the discovery of life elsewhere in the cosmos, especially as the mainstream media
and science seems to be promoting this idea.
As such, it is very important clear and precise tools for evaluating information, in an objective
fashion, are shared with the world.
Related Uniting The People For Full Disclosure | Steven Greer's Cosmic False Flag Presentation:
Review, Commentary, Analysis and Assessment of Claims Against Goode and Tompkins
We shouldn't blindly trust anyone, no matter how credible they might seem.
Instead, we would do well to learn how to entertain many different perspectives, claims,
and beliefs at once, this way we can compare one data set to another, and recognize when
inconsistencies present themselves.
It would also be helpful to learn how to evaluate the plausibility of a claim, based on the
evidence used to substantiate it.
In general, a claim of truth is substantiated by gathering evidence within the scope and
context the claim applies to.
A whistleblower's work history only proves that they worked for who they said they did,
it doesn't substantiate claims made about their experiences.
For example, if someone claimed they were visited by extraterrestrials and offered nothing
other than their word, this claim would be almost impossible to verify, yet not disprovable
due to lack of evidence�a mistake some researchers succumb to.
Conversely, if they provided photographs and video recordings, there would be more weight
to their claims.
Yet even in this latter case, there is still uncertainty, as media can be fabricated.
Plausibility of a claim, how likely it is of being true, increases as evidence and explanations
related to it correspond with reality as a whole.
The more resonance there is between what is claimed and the actual truth, the more likely
it is true.
Note about personal discernment: Personal experiences, and all the subtle information
that pours through them, is also a form of evidence.
But such personal accounts are "locked away" in the psyche, which makes it difficult to
verify this evidence objectively.
So while gut feelings and intuition are real and valid sources of information that could
lend credence to another person's claims, since it can't be shared objectively (at least
at this stage of human development) it often has less weight then hard evidence.
And such data sources, often referred to as soul or heart-space discernment, should also
correspond with reality and other forms of hard evidence.
The truth is holistic or one, and as such, so must the body of evidence one uses to verify
a claim, whether "energetic" or otherwise.
For those trying to make sense of the strange field of ufology, it seems advantageous to
develop a working knowledge of how to evaluate claims and evidence used to back them.
The more we can do this personally, the less likely we'll be deceived by disinformation
campaigns, like what took place at the hands of the Air Force through Richard Doty.
Disinformation tends to spread from person to person because it isn't evaluated at an
individual level, making such persons complicit in the spreading of false information by way
of their failure to discern.
Thus, by learning these tools of evaluation ourselves, we help improve fields of research,
acting as a check and balance for our most trusted researchers.
By employing such a method, the ufology community can become a living institute of research,
helping those premiere figures in the field.
Those interested in the truth will be open to discussing the veracity of a body of work,
whereas those less aligned with truth might feel tempted to quash dissenting opinion in
an effort to maintain their reputation.
In the latter case, merely by engaging in the process of verification ourselves, we
begin to penetrate layers of obfuscation, and help reveal entrenched disinformation,
and their agents, in the field.
Clearly if the truth is our the ultimate goal, we are all responsible to it to some degree.
Let's take the time to ensure we develop high quality, objective, and honest research and
presentation skills, whether we're academics or not, which can be applied to all fields
of study, not just ufology.

New Discovery Shows Homo Sapiens Evolved Much Earlier The Story - tech and science - Duration: 12:33.
New Discovery Shows Homo Sapiens Evolved Much Earlier --"The Story of Our Species More Complex
Than We Used to Think"
�What people, including myself, used to think was that there was a cradle of humankind
in East Africa about 200,000 years ago, and all modern humans descend from that population,�
says palaeoanthropologist Philipp Gunz from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology in Leipzig, who was involved in the new excavation.
�The new finds indicate that Homo sapiens is much older and had already spread across
all of Africa by 300,000 years ago.
They really show that the African story of our species was more complex than what we
used to think.
Humans had already migrated across the African landscape, and were evolving at a continental
scale.�
In a cave called Jebel Irhoud, 62 miles west of Marrakes hand bones of its former occupants
have been recently unearthed by an international team of scientists.
They mark the earliest fossilized remains of Homo sapiens ever found with a range of
280,000 to 350,000 years, superseding to two Ethiopian fossils that are 160,000 and 195,000
years old.
Their brains, though already as large as ours, must also have been shaped differently.
It seems that the size of the human brain had already been finalized 300,000 years ago,
but its structure�and perhaps its abilities�were fine-tuned over the subsequent millennia of
evolution.
�People thought that North Africa had nothing to do with modern human evolution, and that
this was a relict population,� says Gunz.
�Now we know that they�re close to the root of the Homo sapiens lineage.�
The new finds are �a very important discovery,� says Zeray Alemseged from the University of
Chicago.
�They�re placed at a critical time period when the earliest members of our species could
have evolved, and they�re critical for better understanding the patterns of physical and
behavioral evolution [among humans] across the African continent.
They confirm the pan-African nature of human ancestry.�
The international research team led by Jean-Jacques Hublin of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology and Abdelouahed Ben-Ncer of the National Institute for Archaeology and Heritage
(INSAP, Rabat, Morocco) uncovered fossil bones of Homo sapiens along with stone tools and
animal bones at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco.
The finds are dated to about 300 thousand years ago and represent the oldest securely
dated fossil evidence of our own species.
This date is 100 thousand years earlier than the previous oldest Homo sapiens fossils.
The discoveries reported in two papers in the June 8th issue of the journal Nature by
Hublin et al. and by Richter et al. reveal a complex evolutionary history of mankind
that likely involved the entire African continent.
Both genetic data of present day humans and fossil remains point to an African origin
of our own species, Homo sapiens.
Previously, the oldest securely dated Homo sapiens fossils were known from the site of
Omo Kibish in Ethiopia, dated to 195 thousand years ago.
At Herto, also in Ethiopia, a Homo sapiens fossil is dated to 160 thousand years ago.
Until now, most researchers believed that all humans living today descended from a population
that lived in East Africa around 200 thousand years ago.
"We used to think that there was a cradle of mankind 200 thousand years ago in east
Africa, but our new data reveal that Homo sapiens spread across the entire African continent
around 300 thousand years ago.
Long before the out-of-Africa dispersal of Homo sapiens, there was dispersal within Africa,"
says palaeoanthropologist Jean-Jacques Hublin.
The Moroccan site of Jebel Irhoud shown above has been well known since the 1960s for its
human fossils and for its Middle Stone Age artefacts.
However, the interpretation of the Irhoud hominins has long been complicated by persistent
uncertainties surrounding their geological age.
The new excavation project, which began in 2004, resulted in the discovery of new Homo
sapiens fossils in situ, increasing their number from six to 22.
These finds confirm the importance of Jebel Irhoud as the oldest and richest African Middle
Stone Age hominin site documenting an early stage of our species.
The fossil remains from Jebel Irhoud comprise skulls, teeth, and long bones of at least
five individuals.
To provide a precise chronology for these finds, researchers used the thermoluminescence
dating method on heated flints found in the same deposits.
These flints yielded an age of approximately 300 thousand years ago and, therefore, push
back the origins of our species by one hundred thousand years.
Composite reconstruction of the earliest known Homo sapiens fossils from Jebel Irhoud (Morocco)
based on micro computed tomographic scans of multiple original fossils.
Dated to 300 thousand years ago these early Homo sapiens already have a modern-looking
face that falls within the variation of humans living today.
However, the archaic-looking virtual imprint of the braincase (blue) indicates that brain
shape, and possibly brain function, evolved within the Homo sapiens lineage.
"Well dated sites of this age are exceptionally rare in Africa, but we were fortunate that
so many of the Jebel Irhoud flint artefacts had been heated in the past," says geochronology
expert Daniel Richter of the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig (Germany), now with Freiberg Instruments
GmbH.
Richter explains: "This allowed us to apply thermoluminescence dating methods on the flint
artefacts and establish a consistent chronology for the new hominin fossils and the layers
above them."
In addition, the team was able to recalculate a direct age of the Jebel Irhoud 3 mandible
found in the 1960s.
This mandible had been previously dated to 160 thousand years ago by a special electron
spin resonance dating method.
Using new measures of the radioactivity of the Jebel Irhoud sediments and as a result
of methodological improvements in the method, this fossil's newly calculated age is in agreement
with the thermoluminescence ages and much older than previously realized.
"We employed state of the art dating methods and adopted the most conservative approaches
to accurately determine the age of Irhoud", adds Richter.
The mandible Irhoud 11 is the first, almost complete adult mandible discovered at the
site of Jebel Irhoud.
It is very robust and reminiscent of the smaller Tabun C2 mandible discovered in Israel in
a much younger deposit.
The bone morphology and the dentition display a mosaic of archaic and evolved features,
clearly assigning it to the root of our own lineage.

The crania of modern humans living today are characterized by a combination of features
that distinguish us from our fossil relatives and ancestors: a small and gracile face, and
globular braincase.
The fossils from Jebel Irhoud display a modern-looking face and teeth, and a large but more archaic-looking
braincase.
Hublin and his team used state-of-the-art micro computed tomographic scans and statistical
shape analysis based on hundreds of 3D measurements to show that the facial shape of the Jebel
Irhoud fossils is almost indistinguishable from that of modern humans living today.
In contrast to their modern facial morphology, however, the Jebel Irhoud crania retain a
rather elongated archaic shape of the braincase.
Modern human skulls are rounded globes.
The Jebel Irhoud skulls were lower on the top and longer at the back, closer to extinct
hominids like Homo erectus.
�Today, you wouldn�t be able to find anyone with a braincase that shape,� says Gunz.
"The inner shape of the braincase reflects the shape of the brain," explains Gunz.
"Our findings suggest that modern human facial morphology was established early on in the
history of our species, and that brain shape, and possibly brain function, evolved within
the Homo sapiens lineage," says Philipp Gunz.
Recently, comparisons of ancient DNA extracted from Neanderthals and Denisovans to the DNA
of present day humans revealed differences in genes affecting the brain and nervous system.
Evolutionary shape changes of the braincase are therefore likely related to a series of
genetic changes affecting brain connectivity, organization and development that distinguish
Homo sapiens from our extinct ancestors and relatives.
Virtual palaeoanthropology is able to correct distortions and fragmentations of fossil specimens.
This reconstruction of the Irhoud 11 mandible allows its comparison with archaic hominins,
such as Neandertals, as well as with early forms of �more
The morphology and age of the fossils from Jebel Irhoud also corroborate the interpretation
of an enigmatic partial cranium from Florisbad, South Africa, as an early representative of
Homo sapiens.
The earliest Homo sapiens fossils are found across the entire African continent: Jebel
Irhoud, Morocco (300 thousand years), Florisbad, South Africa (260 thousand years), and Omo
Kibish, Ethiopia (195 thousand years).
This indicates a complex evolutionary history of our species, possibly involving the whole
African continent.
"North Africa has long been neglected in the debates surrounding the origin of our species.
The spectacular discoveries from Jebel Irhoud demonstrate the tight connections of the Maghreb
with the rest of the African continent at the time of Homo sapiens' emergence", says
Abdelouahed Ben-Ncer.
The fossils were found in deposits containing animal bones showing evidence of having been
hunted, with the most frequent species being gazelle.
The stone tools associated with these fossils belong to the Middle Stone Age.
The Jebel Irhoud artefacts show the use of Levallois prepared core techniques and pointed
forms are the most common.
Most stone tools were made from high quality flint imported into the site.
Handaxes, a tool commonly found in older sites, are not present at Jebel Irhoud.
Middle Stone Age artefact assemblages such as the one recovered from Jebel Irhoud are
found across Africa at this time and likely speak to an adaptation that allowed Homo sapiens
to disperse across the continent.

Pointed forms such as a-i are common in the assemblage.

MPI EVA Leipzig
"The stone artefacts from Jebel Irhoud look very similar to ones from deposits of similar
age in east Africa and in southern Africa" says Max Planck Institute archaeologist Shannon
McPherron.
"It is likely that the technological innovations of the Middle Stone Age in Africa are linked
to the emergence of Homo sapiens."
The new findings from Jebel Irhoud elucidate the evolution of Homo sapiens, and show that
our species evolved much earlier than previously thought.
The dispersal of Homo sapiens across all of Africa around 300 thousand years is the result
of changes in both biology and behavior.
