OMG!  I loved Torchwood and Captain Jack!!!   Good on you RCH for mentioning that show.   

[bstuart]

I respect that, but if the gov could hide trillions of dollars, how would we know they did?  And if we knew they did, it wouldn't be a secret.

Well, it is a postulate based on actual pentagon revelations, that they "misplaced 4 trillion dollars". Because you know... it's possible to misplace that. Black OPs seems much more likely to me.

[pate]

UrFO's interest me...

Is this Sheila a Kiwi?

[K_Dubb]

Ugh, why the fuck do you need metal in an advanced technological society Richard? Glass sucks. Domes really fucking suck, why would you build one? Why? Domes are 1950's bullshit sci fi. I hate when Hoagland does that. It's 2015. If you're going to create a narrative around futurism, do a better job at it or abandon the old shit and dedicate yourself to being a radio host.

Oh let us enjoy the retrofuturism.  Nanotechnology isn't sexy.

An Apostate stole/misplaced five trillion is my "reading"

Indeed!

Heh, yeah. Thank god for my joint. All hail Hoagland, I like him and the show, but it makes me smoke pot.

[K_Dubb]

I want to know if Hoagie tried chanting in the Integratron.

[pate]

I am dubious of the last statement I read.

An experiment is called for...

[Bradsmith313]

He's going to bring up the Brookings Report.

The report only suggested that governments withhold information regarding alien contact.

The report also stated that such a revelation might even unite the world.

Is pate just typing out random Siri Iphone responses? lol

Was the Brookings report taken seriously by anyone, or just another report that someone commissioned to cover all their bases and then stuck in a drawer?

[Bradsmith313]

Davis Icke. Ugh . . . .

[pate]

"Crayme"?  WTF is that cray-cray aussie talking 'bout?

[Bradsmith313]

Here's the thing. That report was written over 55 years ago. Society has made a lot of progress since then. The "Brookings" argument is invalid.

[norland2424]

wtf is the caller on  :

At this point I am following the YouTube AutoPlay feature/bug:

One of my favorite songs in the world, that one./,

[bstuart]

That caller is rather abrasive... the dog agrees.

[ShayP]

anagram?

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

wtf is the caller on  :

Still better and smarter than most of Noory's callers.

[pate]

I'll restart the stream as soon as this song is over...

Anagrams might possibly follow.

[zeebo]

Heh, yeah. Thank god for my joint. All hail Hoagland, I like him and the show, but it makes me smoke pot.

Or maybe it's the other way around, which brings up the old question ... Which came first - the Doobie or the Hoagie?

[ShayP]

Still better and smarter than most of Noory's callers.

True...and Hoagie is better than Noory...IMO.
