Do you remember the Gulf War, when they unveiled the Stealth bomber? It was the first time the public had seen it, but the design was actually started in the 50's. If we had seen one of those in the 70's, it would have been considered a UFO.
Also, in that war, they unveiled technology that could drop a guided bomb down a chimney. That also seemed like alien technology. Who knows what we have now, decades after all that?
Where i live, about 5 miles away, as the crow flies, (going by road it is 40 miles), there is one of the most secure and secret facilities in America. It is part of a very large black hole that includes Nasa and every know defense contractor. It is the main US facility for ballistics design and testing.
One time, they had to call the local media to tell all the meteorologists that their weather radar wasn't going to work for a few days because they were testing something, that was sprayed in the air, that made the whole area invisible to radar. I have seen with my own eyes, at least 3 times, a string of round lights take off and ascend into the sky. Not once did I ever seriously think it was an alien spacecraft. I have seen the exact same thing reported from other areas that have a heavy federal presence.
It is my opinion that this is what those $300 hammers and $1200 toilet seats are paying for.
See how you reacted when I made a false accusation about you and the way you make your money? You threatened to ban me from the site. You have the same instinctive reaction Louise did when someone lies about you makes up things about you. You get defensive.
I did not criticism her for getting defensive. I criticized her for what she said when she got defensive.
Linton could have responded in a number of different ways. She chose "I'm rich so I'm better than you." That's never going to look good, but I suspect that deep down it's what she and her husband believe.
... if she is getting paid to promote these products, so what?
She wasn't paid. But if she was, using a government trip to make paid product endorsements of the clothes you're wearing would raise the eye of government ethics law investigators. That would best be something to do on your own time.
