    Didn’t Snowden say he checked all the government databases and saw zero proof of aliens

      Snowden didn’t have access to every government database, lol. Even if he said he did, he’s 100% full of shit, as there’s this concept called Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). Extremely top secret info will be locked into SCI programs (although something that is in SCI doesn’t necessarily HAVE to be top secret) meaning you do not have access unless you are read into that program. And no, you can’t just willynilly hack the entire DoD SCI repository from a single location.

        Yeah, but imagine the query time Snowden would deal with if he did check all the databases for ETs.

        Day 139: It could be 50% it could be 2% it could be 0.1%. I have no idea if it’s working, the computer is frozen, but the traffic meter on the modem is still going nuts. I shall endure.
