I'm not a gambler, but there should be a thing on those gambling sites on whether this is about extraterrestrial life or mexicans

New distraction is coming in! All eyes on this now!

Man, they really don't think much of their voter base or ordinary people for that matter.

I just realized that Alien Nation was a pun.

If it's for aliens, why does it ask you to verify that you're human? This government makes no sense!

Red herring?

aliens.gov is such a bait-y name. What is the requirement to register .gov domains?

counterpoint: this assumes everyone has the same constraints. not always true

I guess they need more money for an agency that burns it. Using conspiracies to goat the dumbed down public to get the ok to spend more money on a pointless Space Force.

My guess:

"Welcome to Aliens.gov -- a friendly guide and reminder to leave."

...

"Ya fired."

New Epstein files distraction?

nunobritotoday at 2:22 PM

Thanks, now I forgot about the files again. Give me the aliens :-)

More nonsense.

What was that card game that supposedly predicted the outcome of the future? Was there revealing the presence of aliens in the deck? /s

I remember reading shady sites in 00s, where the other side claimed that govts around the world will get along on this idea and with help of elaborated holograms hoax will tell populations that aliens are here among us/are about to invade.

Here, in the mid-20s it's much cheaper to do that with help of AI. /s

Anyway, guess it's "some kind of" distraction, again? /s
