Here's a few reasons:

Running an environment where they are at the absolute top of the hierarchy and everyone obeys them.

Moving trafficked people between jurisdictions where oversight is weaker.

Hosting meetings between corrupt officials and financiers.

Running blackmail operations built around secretly recorded guests and compromising situations.

Using offshore ownership structures to conceal criminal proceeds.

Keeping witnesses isolated at sea until they agree to cooperate.

Hosting secret auctions for stolen art, antiquities, and other contraband.

Operating a floating black site for torture, forced confessions, and permanent disappearances.

Hosting secret meetings to finance or coordinate mass-casualty atrocities, political assassinations, and the destruction of evidence afterward.

The V-shaped waters south of Israel are the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba, two northern branches of the Red Sea separated by the Sinai Peninsula. They matter biblically because the Red Sea is associated with Exodus, where Israel escaped Egypt and the Pharaoh’s army was destroyed, making it a major symbol of deliverance, judgment, and the birth of Israel as a covenant people.

Kenneth Johnson, the creator of the original series V, was openly anti-fascist and conceived the story as an allegory about Nazism and authoritarianism, using reptilian aliens as the hidden face of a fascist regime, while Scott Peters, who developed the 2009 reboot, was accused of giving the series an anti-Obama slant because the Visitors used rhetoric about “hope,” “change,” and universal healthcare, although Peters denied that those parallels were intentional.

The V logo above is from the modern series, although flipped horizontally, and the left arm especially closely matches the Gulf of Suez.

David Icke claims that a race of reptilian, partly interdimensional beings has interbred with humans, producing bloodlines that occupy positions of political, financial and royal power. In his account, reptilians can appear human, manipulate society through an elite network called the “Babylonian Brotherhood,” and keep humanity in fear and conflict because they supposedly benefit from that negative emotional energy.

The concept of “loosh” comes from Robert Monroe—the founder of the Monroe Institute and developer of Hemi-Sync binaural-beat techniques—who introduced it in his 1985 nonfiction book Far Journeys as an energy supposedly produced by living beings through emotion and experience.

Critics such as the Board of Deputies of British Jews and Jon Ronson argue that Icke’s reptilian narrative recycles old antisemitic “secret elite” tropes, particularly through his references to the Rothschilds and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Icke denies that “reptilian” is a code word for Jews.

Epstein survivor Juliette Bryant has said she witnessed Epstein appear to transform into an “alien” or reptilian-looking creature, describing black eyes and a devil-like appearance; she has presented this as something she literally experienced.

In Mesopotamian myth, serpent-linked beings such as Ningishzida could protect, guide, or symbolize divine authority, while serpent-dragons represented the power of the gods. In Egypt, serpents could either threaten humanity, as Apep did, or protect rulers and society, as Wadjet did.

Across myth, religion, conspiracy, and fiction, the same image keeps returning: serpentine power hidden behind rulers, feeding on fear, conflict, and human submission.

Other than that, this is probably not really going anywhere. I certainly don't know what to make of it all. But thanks for listening anyway, and let me know if I've missed anything.

This is an alleged **MJ-12 / Operation Majestic** briefing dated 1 January 1959. Its central claim is that the US government had concluded UFOs were **non-human and extraterrestrial**, had recovered their craft and occupants, and had created a highly compartmentalised programme to study the technology and keep it secret.

The main claims are:

* By 1959, the programme had allegedly recovered remains from **7 craft and 27 deceased non-human beings**, including three nearly intact craft.

* **Roswell (1947)** is described as a genuine extraterrestrial crash involving the recovery of a craft and **four dead humanoid occupants**, referred to as EBEs — "Extraterrestrial Biological Entities".

* The document claims the military's later **weather-balloon explanation was a deliberate cover story**, while the wreckage, bodies and witnesses were secured.

* The Roswell material is described as extremely lightweight and unlike conventional aircraft construction, with scientists including **Vannevar Bush and Nathan Twining** allegedly involved in examining it.

* **Aztec, New Mexico (1948)** is described as another recovery, after a disc-shaped object was tracked by radar, apparently performed evasive manoeuvres and then came down.

* MJ-12 is presented as answering ultimately to the President, with scientific, intelligence and recovery/enforcement teams responsible for collecting evidence, studying the technology, controlling witnesses and concealing incidents.

* Named figures include **Vannevar Bush, James Forrestal, Nathan Twining, Hoyt Vandenberg, Roscoe Hillenkoetter and Detlev Bronk**.

* It alleges that **James Forrestal's mental deterioration and eventual death were connected to the burden of what he knew** about the programme.

* The report speculates that the lack of recoverable crashes after 1957 could mean the visitors had **improved or adapted their craft to Earth's conditions**.

I can't get over how exactly the same every woman claims to be. Is this the only way to attract men on Hinge, just be bland and watch the likes rolling in?

Today, I bumped into an ogryn who's still rocking the Shirtless and Pantless look from the days when those two mods worked server-side. Made my day.

Completed it when I was five.
