But seriously folks ... (JD Vance on UFOs)

JD Vance warns that extraterrestrials are demons: 'I'm going to get to the bottom of this'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/jd-vance-warns-extraterrestrials-demons-030714971.html

...

"When I came in, I was obsessed with the UFO files," the vice president told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson on Friday, referring to the cache of files related to "alien and extraterrestrial life" that President Donald Trump called to release in February. Vance said that he hasn't had even a "peek" at said files, due to the demands of "the economy and national security and things like that."

"I've already had a couple of times where I'm like, 'All right, we're going to Area 51. We're going out to New Mexico. We're gonna sort of get to the bottom of this.' And then the timing of the trip just didn't work out. But trust me, anybody who's curious about this, I'm more curious than anybody, and I've got three years of the very tippy top of the classification. I'm gonna get to the bottom of it," he said.

But anyway, it might not even matter, because to Vance, aliens as we know them don't even exist: "I don't think they're aliens. I think they're demons."

One of the curiosities of our modern world is that beliefs that sound like severely paranoid ideation are considered pretty much A-OK for extraordinarily important people to hold, as long as these beliefs are considered “religious.”
...
But something quite a bit more disturbing than that is the belief that UAPs are supernatural representatives of evil, pure and simple from the 8th dimension.

I know that some of commenter Bathhawk’s views can verge or even tip all the way over into ethnic and religious generalizations that many LGMers, including me, would not endorse, but what I understand to be his basic point — that contemporary liberal democracy founded on either explicitly secular or what might be called “lightly religious” beliefs (an old colleague of mine told me 30 years ago that he was a Unitarian, which meant he believed in “one God at most;” I don’t know if this was his original formulation but I found and find it extremely charming) is fundamentally, so to speak, incompatible with old school fundamentalist religious belief, whether Christian, Jewish, or miscellaneous.

Things like Vance’s statements, which I’m going to treat as the sincere beliefs characteristic of the zealotry of adult converts, really put an exclamation point on that.

that’s less a revelation and more a red flag that something very weird (and not extraterrestrial) is going on.
