It's a little bit of an L for Coulthart, with the NewsNation "erroneous" article being passed around and a lot of UFO people acting like being spergs that are easy to bully.
This is why I think it's important that the "Community" keeps its humor.
Coulthart for obvious reasons is very passionate about this, and it's perfectly reasonable to be passionate, but it's bad optically. I understand that for him it is very painful to see people attack Grusch, but he needs to keep himself from getting emotional. And ever since the Grusch News Nation interview aired he's been more fired up than usual.
Everything that's happening now has happened before. And every time it happened it failed.
The people who have been doing this have been doing it for a long time. They have this down to a science. And however it is that we think this is going to go, it's far more likely that they've thought several steps ahead. The only thing that can lead to victory is how much the problem can be brought to scale. Are there enough servicemen/scientists/civilians now using sensitive enough equipment to make deniability infeasible? In terms of disclosure, that has always been the threshold, and until that threshold is met disclosure can't properly happen at scale.
As far as I can tell, what's happening right now is a battle for the Public. Congress is impassioned, but there's no guaranteeing that that will remain. That passion has withered before.
And every minor inaccuracy costs the Community tenfold optically. The detractors can be wrong an infinite number of times, however, those seeking to bolster interest in the topic can really only be wrong once. The second they get something wrong, purely by accident as an honest mistake, they're finished completely as far as the Public is concerned.
It's an extremely challenging and dangerous position to be playing from. It's like starting a game of Chess without a Queen, or, as much of a cliche as it is at this point, like trying to convince the Church that the Earth is revolving around the Sun, or, like Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis; trying to convince people about the importance of hand hygiene and disinfectants. Imagine a man trying to convince the entire world that there are literally invisible microscopic organisms EVERYWHERE, and knowing that the second people start operating on a patient they're going to kill them and freaking the fuck out, and everybody thinks you're a complete lunatic. You're doing all these insane things: rubbing your tools and hands with disinfectant, wearing ridiculous clean robes and gloves, covering your mouth with cloth, screaming at people to get out of the operating room, and everyone around you thinks you're completely insane. And then you die, with everything you advocated for ignored for several decades.
UAP are the modern day "cadaverous particles", and that is the position we are all arguing from right now.
It is absolutely fucking brutal. Like the "cadaverous material/particles", UAP are equally illusive: they move at velocities that should be impossible, they transcend mediums, they operate nearly without signature.
People like Coulthart are trying to convince the world that something that should be impossible is happening, and not only is it happening; but its effectively invisible, and everyone thinks you're insane.
And that's your starting position!! This sort of thing is not new, it has happened many times before in our history, and it will happen many times after.
And so the first thing you have to do in the face of that is chill the fuck out.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
People are not going to listen to you if you're raving mad.
But they'll be interested if you make them laugh because laughter is the RAT equivalent of a pinning position during PLAY in humans. When you laugh you bare your teeth, which is a signal in humans that you are friendly but formidable, and neurologically it's recognized as a signal of victory or as a position of dominance.
But if you're fucking pissed off, your brain fills with cortisol/epinephrine/norepinephrine, your amygdala gets hijacked, and your IQ literally drops. And then you start making mistakes.
You become both stupider, and optically, you are publicly perceived at an inferior position, as though you are being pinned.
Coulthart needs to calm the fuck down, and slow the fuck down.
Fox News and the full NextStar portfolio have been covering UAPees since at least 2017.
News Nation is effectively Fox News (and ABC, CBS, NBC... ect).
News Nation is the dumping grounds or beta test for stories that NextStar isn't sure have legs or aren't sure how the public will react to, or most importantly how the federal government will react to. Each station is colored and tuned to a specific audience, but all fundamentally one.
Coulthart tried to take this story to every other station in the NextStar portfolio (and beyond), and despite their past performance since 2017, they only gave him their beta test.
And yet despite this, despite not having a Queen, he ended up in a very good position, and it would be an absolute shame if he pulled a Jeremy Corbell right now and started making catastrophic mistakes.
He's rushing and trying to get ahead of the disinformation, but he can't afford to be careless right now, and most importantly, he needs to calm down.
The nigger aliens aren't going anywhere, and if this problem is now at scale, which it appears to be, then like all scientific discoveries, eventually it is simply undeniable.
And if saying Grush was never in AARO despite being in the precursor UAPTF, and that he had PTSD and drank previously despite having a security clearance up to the point of current contention is the best they've got, Coulthart is still in a seemingly legendary position and does not need to be making rash moves.
