In a 2014 commencement address, Jim Carrey shared three lines that will change the way you think about life: 1. "Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much." 2. "So many of us choose our paths out of fear disguised... show more

"You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love." Profound Blake. This hits home.
@_CollectionsGuy Same for me!
When I moved to LA, I drove to the spot where Jim said he wrote himself a $1M check… while he was living in his car… I didn’t even know what I wanted to do with my life yet, but his story was so inspirational This speech breakdown is great, Blake.
Oh wow, I hadn't heard the story of him writing himself a check. That's so awesome... Heading down that rabbit hole now.
You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. This is powerful, Blake!
The *no* has already been granted, is your baseline. Aim higher than that, you got nothing to lose, other than your fear itself! Loved this, thanks Blake!

!["If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world." ~EB Did Burlison See a Craft at the Location He Visited? Umm, No. (Long one here with a transcript and my comments in ( ). Work today so I was a little limited with this stuff. Looking forward to the Davis interview tomorrow!) In 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison spent "almost the entire day" with the White House staff as they negotiated various aspects of the Big Beautiful Bill. While he was there, he requested help with the UFO topic because the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets kept getting blocked and struggled to get access to certain information and locations. So, he asked for a White House-level briefing, "the same briefing the President... If you're taking the request, that's my highest request." (He didn't say if he ever received that briefing.) Burlison: "Furthermore, I would like to be able to have a green light to go visit some of these locations. And the gentleman that I was asking kind of smirked. And I said, 'Is this comical to you? I mean, do you think that I'm not a serious person?'" (I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? 😀 ) Burlison: "He said, 'No.' he goes. 'I just want to go with you.' And so, it turns out he did. He was able to go with me. He had to follow the proper channels as well. And we visited the first of many sites, hopefully. I'm gonna be cautious in talking about that because I don't want to jeopardize the ability to go to the remaining locations, if you will. I truly think that, for them, this was a test of whether or not this would become a circus for them. And so, I think that I'm just treading cautiously before I release too much information about what I've learned and where I went." (I understand not giving out the location to avoid a "circus" of UFO people trying to visit, but I don't see why he can't tell us what he learned right now. Hopefully, when all the visits are done, he can share the details with us.) James Fox: "Congressman, when you say you went to visit the site, are you implying that the alleged site that could, potentially, be housing non-human technology? Is that kind of what one is alleging here?" Burlison: "Yeah. Or, once did house non-human technology, right? Now, from my insights from Grusch and others, they had...it was pretty obvious that that first site that we were going to did not have active material, but, potentially, could have in the past. So what was important was to see the facilities and the structures, and to try to ascertain for A), first and foremost, did those facilities exist? And then were they designed in such a way that would have been, you know, one could easily see that that could have been utilized for reverse engineering." (Saying that a location/facility could have been utilized for reverse engineering craft not made by humans is not enough to make the waves we need to force the tidal wave of Disclosure. We need for Burlison (or someone else) to be able to visit a facility that has a craft there now, and folks working on it who are willing to speak about their experiences there. I don't see that happening any time soon.) Leslie Kean: "May I ask If the people at the site were cooperative and helpful for you?" Burlison: "Yes." Leslie Kean: "Or were they resistant to having you visit?" Burlison: "No, they were very cooperative. What I kind of interpreted from this is that a lot of what's happening today is that you have things that have happened in the past, and the people today, you know, you're talking about personnel that have changed over many times. And so, a lot of times they're not aware of the history of some of the things that you're talking about because that's not something that they're working on, currently. But they certainly were extremely helpful." (They were either not aware of the history or, they were, and lied about it. Can't rule that out. And the fact that they were helpful/cooperative doesn't really mean much. If you want to avoid unwanted attention, you put your best face on. Or, maybe they really were ignorant and wanted to do their best to help Burlison and the other folks? No way to know.) Burlison: "I had specifically wanted to meet with a particular individual that works at that location, and I actually expected them to turn me down, but was surprised that they actually arranged a meeting in a SCIF with the person that I requested. So, I do think that they're being cooperative." (Hopefully, when all of these locations have been visited, we get to learn this person's name. Full transparency, right?) Burlison: "And now that the President has [posted on Truth Social about UFOs], I think it gives everyone all the way down the line an understanding that this is to be taken seriously and to follow through." (We shall see.) Burlison: "On the way back after the visit, the White House staffer and the other person that had made it happen both said to me that they loved doing this. This was one of the funnest things they've ever done in their job, and that these other future site locations are not at all gonna be a burden to them. If anything, they're excited and looking forward to it." (Are we going to learn who those people are? Transparency? If not, why not? We pay their salaries.) James Fox: "I had a really quick follow-up question, Congressman. If you did find what you're looking for, is there a particular protocol, or what's the directive if you find what you're looking for?" Burlison: "If I find what I'm looking for, I'm gonna be very careful to protect any kind of national-security interest. But at the same time, I've been very clear that it is not the right of this country to withhold basic, fundamental evidence that we may or may not be alone. And so, if we have any kind of evidence of that, we should be telling the world and not holding back. And give as many details as possible, and release...be as transparent as possible without jeopardizing our secrets and national security. Or secrets that pertain...that our national security is dependent upon." (For now, keep the method of propulsion (energy source) secret and away from our adversaries and tell us everything else!) Burlison: "Well, I'm just gonna speculate, okay? If we have a type of technology that we have reverse engineered, that gives us a strategic advantage that our adversaries have not? I think that, for example, letting the world know that we have this craft, here it is, here's a photo of it, but you don't have to tell the world how exactly the...what you've reverse engineered, or how that operates." (Photos aren't going to cut it. If they exist, we need to see these craft (and bodies?) in person, with our own eyes. Put them in the Smithsonian and let us see all of it. And allow independent scientists to do their own analysis so we can verify that it's non-human or anomalous.) Burlison: "In the same way that when the nuclear bomb first was invented and utilized, the world knew, we revealed to the world that we have this capability, but we certainly are not gonna tell people how to make one and the specifics behind that. So, I think that for me, that's how I would answer that question. If you were asking me, 'What would you be willing to protect as far as national security?' That would be the nature of it. "Now, I think if the technology that's derived has nothing to do with changing our threat dynamic with an adversary, and it might benefit society and the world, by all means, let's release it. Let's let the world scientific minds utilize anything that we might have discovered. And so, that's where I personally stand." (But we all that it's not going to be that simple. Most likely (if this is all legit), we'll have craft and bodies, and the tech from the craft can give us an advantage over our adversaries, while at the same time, potentially, be used to change and improve the world and human condition. So what do we do? Keep it secret? Tell the world and take our chances?) Burlison: "I don't know, I couldn't tell you what Hillary meant by that." (EB was referring to the recent interview/deposition about Epstein where Hillary Clinton said that she would release UFO files but they would be "subject to any national security implications" and it should be done so that "no national security information is disclosed." She didn't get specific.) Burlison: "If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world. If we, you know, if what Eric Davis said to me - and now that was not in a hearing in which he had been sworn in, and I'm not saying that he was telling me a falsehood - when he said that there are four alien species - and that kind of went viral - I mean, if we, if we do have evidence of that, I want the world to know. I don't see why that would be of national security interest to withhold that from the world." (Unless, the people who have seen the bodies say something like, "Their skin is something that can be used as armor and we can't allow our adversaries to learn about that. Just trying to think of reasons why the gatekeepers will tell us that information needs to be kept secret.)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2030480027666747596/amplify_video_thumb/2030373285926694913/img/_-25iW0LmiKeRcjI.jpg)
![🐱 recently, i came across a quote that hits me. 'it's not necessary for everyone in the world to understand me perfectly'. it was a short piece about confidence, self-assurance and trust, and it really resonated with me. it's something i wanted to share [with you], because it hit me hard. as we live, we sometimes get misunderstood, unfair things happen, and things don’t go the way we intended. it would've been nice if everyone can communicate [exactly as we feel]. i still feel the same now, and when i was younger, i often couldn’t hold back because i felt wronged. i'd cry out of frustration or sadness whenever i got scolded by the teacher for no reason. when i was in elementary school, there was a time when we played dodgeball and i hit a friend with the ball, since it's dodgeball anyway. i'm not sure if that friend was joking or if he felt upset about it, but he kicked me really hard. i thought he was joking, so i kicked him too. but he cried! of course, i got scolded by the teacher because of it. i felt so wronged! but since everyone was so focused on the game, no one really saw what had happened. ah, rather than saying that friend is bad, i mean.. everyone jokes around like that at that age. i just felt really wronged! i argued soooo much with the teacher, saying 'i didn't do anything!' 'why are you only scolding me?!' 🐱 of course, this is just a childish story, but as we grow up, there are many similar situations that are even more complicated and messy than this, right? there are so many things that are almost too ridiculous to even explain. whenever such situations happen, i used to get really angry inside, getting all stressed out and thinking about it late at night. 🐱 anyway, in the piece i read, in situations like that, instead of trying to immediately correct every misunderstanding, letting things pass in silence and not forcing yourself to explain or make others understand all the unintended things that happen to you is what keeps you healthy in the long run. that's what the piece was about. not everyone in the world needs to fully understand me. trusting myself and having confidence in myself.. those things are healthier for me in the long run, and it’s better to handle all those situations in a healthy way. [after reading that], i went 'right..' 🐱 because honestly.. in life, we get misunderstood so many times. it's the same for me, and it's the same for you guys too. but holding on to each misunderstanding and arguing, 'no, that’s not true' 'that rumor is wrong' 'the story got twisted', i feel like.. what’s the point of doing that? lately, i've found that letting go has been really helpful for me. of course, you should be able to stand for yourself when something is completely wrong, but i think the point is not to use all your energy, enough to wear yourself out trying to explain yourself to everyone.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1992275158992834593/amplify_video_thumb/1992274008935657472/img/64yG9JMHV57-hOLd.jpg)
![Whitney Webb "It sucks to find out that the mob runs the world... [so] do you want to say, screw you guys, we're going to... get off your... slave plantation?... [because] we can't really keep losing money and rights without being so deep in a hole that we can't... climb out" This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), a contributing editor of Unlimited Hangout and author of One Nation Under Blackmail, is taken from an interview with Peter McCormack (The Peter McCormack Show) posted to YouTube on September 4, 2025. -----------------Partial transcription of clip-------------- "It's not just about burning it down, it's about putting something better in its place. Of course. And so I think the solutions there, you know, some people are like, oh, Whitney, your work is so demoralizing. Well, I'm like, yeah, it sucks to find out that the mob runs the world, you know, but the question is, or do you just want to let them keep running it because it bums you out, or do you want to say, screw you guys, we're going to build something else and get off your, you know, slave plantation? "And I am in the group of, I would like to build something else. I have three kids. I do not want them living in a world run by the mob. So what are you going to do about it? I mean, it starts locally, it starts with your community, because that's where we can actually affect change. Voting for left or right, blue or red. I mean, it's just this ping pong thing where nothing fundamental is changing. "And so to affect that change, we have to do it ourselves. And you think this would be a core American value? Individualism, individual responsibility. But a lot of people just don't care. And so, you know, that sucks. But I think those of us that do care need, to take steps to be as independent from the system as possible. Because every so often, this predator class, they do wealth transfers or they orchestrate and manufacture events and they make a big grab, not just for our money, but for our rights. And we're at the point where we can't really keep losing money and rights without being so deep in a hole that we can't climb ourself out. Can't climb out. "So what, what should we do before that happens? There is an important window of time to do something about it in our local community and for our families and our friends and our neighbors. And we have to do something because if we don't and that thing happens. Oh, well, I watched all these podcasts and learned about how corrupt everything is. But, you know, and I think they spend a lot of time trying to keep us distracted on all sorts of things and sucked into things that don't matter. So that we just don't give them the finger, basically. And that's what we really need to do."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1964385906242343049/amplify_video_thumb/1964383325117960196/img/k88I5h6VHXiZJjv1.jpg)
