Steve:

The US Air Force is so imbedded with evangelical 'sky pilots' that up to 2022, they once held baptisms on site after basic training. see: https://www.duffelblog.com/p/air-force-baptism-requirements

Even worse?

In the book, "Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs, the author was confused as to why the Air Force Command was thwarting any serious investigation into UAP's let alone informing the public.

'They' had decided that the phenomenon was essentially demonic in nature.

These officers are cut from the same non-scientific and therefore superstitious Inquisitional cloth of 21st Century religious zealotry.

It is the same 'faith' that moronically if not paradoxically believes that Trump has been sent by God and see a vote for Trump as an Armageddon-hastening battle of good versus evil.

But I am with you on this side of the 49th parallel. To remain vigilant without hope is to man a paper wall.

As far too many Canadians heralded Trump's win as divine intervention, I too must look not only south but also north for threats against democracy.

These will be trying times.

Ergo, voices like yours even more needed.
