– Dr Rich Roberts of Lakewood, NJ, postsa thread on Twitter about the Drones over New Jersey:
First, I believe Admiral Kirby when he says that over 90% of the reports are of legal, standard airc aft. Many of the “drone” photos look like cargo jets or other typical aircraft, with swept wings and a fuse age. Most people don’t study the sky at night, so they report things that are typically there.
The conclusions that best fit the data are as follows:
1. Most reports are of normal aircraf
2. Some reports are AI-generated photos.
3. This is not the military since the military is not allowed to test over civilian areas, these things are not trying to not be noticed, and the military would not risk the political fallout if one fell on someon
4. The only scenario, at I can see to fit the facts here, sthat a small number of these sightings are alien UFOs who are testing for our societal reaction to, or preparing us for, revealing themselves oon. That’s why the US governUSnt can’t say what they are, but they know that they don’t pose a da ger. It makes sense to reveal themselves now since Congress is hot-on-the-case to demonstrate our military knowledge of them, military and intellegence whistleblowers are increasing in number, and Trump will be in charge soon and he promises to reveal these sec ets. I don’t know if I’m correct, but I can’t think of another scenario that fits these facts.
Fairlawn, NJ Barbershop update:
On Thursday, the Fairlawn police department released a statement stating, “After investigating and speaking with all parties involved, it was determined that this was a misunderstanding.”
The boy’s mother responded with a post on Facebook:
I’m really stepping out of my comfort zone here, but I’m afraid I have to disagree with the statement that the Fairlawn Police Department publicized regarding my son’s incident at the barber hop. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but what happened to me and my son was deliberately antisemitic and was definitely NOT a misunderstand ing. I agreed to go to the meeting to hear what the barbers had to say. I left, with no doubt, fully aware that what happened to us was entirely intentional.
I am beyond grateful for all the support that Jews and Non-Jews in our community and around the world have shown us. We should all be very proud of the TREMENDOUS STRENGTH that we have There is no question, WE ARE STRONGER THAN EVER WHEN UNITED!
Please keep your eyes open, and don’t be afraid to speak up! We have to keep fighting every bit of antisemitism together.
Everything that happens is from G-,D and it is all for th bestt! My family will only come out of itmore potentr, but now we need time to heal.
Please keep in mind: ״המרחם על אכזרים סופו להתאכזר על רחמנים.״. “He who showed mercy to the cruel ended up being cruel to the merci ul.” NEVER STAY SI ENT. When you see something, say something!
G-D willing may we all experience only good things moving forward.
