On the clearnet I use SearXNG, same with Tor when I wanna find clearnet results.

When I'm on Tor and wanna find results on the Tor network, I use Ahmia.

On I2P, I use legwork, and on Freenet, I use the Clean-Spider index.

Can I talk in a language other than English on /f/Censorship board? I'm going to introduce this forum to people on my country's clearnet forum users. but there are a lot of people in my country who can't speak English.

Information about censorship in South Korea and discussions about privacy technologies (VPN, Tor, I2P, etc.) are the main topics.

Can you give us a bit of info about what sort of content you'd like to see on a Korea forum, and the general scope? It'll help describe the forum in the sidebar if we decide to add it. Thanks.

When my grandfather "died" after a heart attack, he ended up seeing a door with light coming from under it, and he saw himself floating above himself. He was resuscitated and went on to live for two more decades.

My personal belief is that we will all stand in Judgement before our Creator and have to give an account for every action (whether right or wrong) that we have committed. We will receive an eternal reward or an eternal punishment; those who did only good in their lives will go to Heaven, and those who have done any wrong will burn in Hell for eternity.

Is there an afterlife? That is a matter of faith.

Another thought outside religion: Based on what we can observe, I've been comforted in loss by the realization we never are truly gone.

Our physical form, continues to change (always has). Death always becomes (or "feeds into") new life. But we are never really "gone".

We can even observe this, the way meat content changes composition, based on an animal's diet (grass finished vs corn fed, omega6 vs omega3 fatty acids).

The circle of life, a continuum of cycles, within cycles. All of us. Everything being connected in that way.

Our life continues to shape / influence others - another way we still exist, our influence shaping new generations, behavior, genes.

And they pass this on, and so on.

Nothing, and no one, is really ever gone in that way. We continually change form.

Might not be what anyone is looking to hear. But it's one way to look at existence.

"tasteful decomposition" is my belief. get me naked, put me in a wheelbarrow, do your last goodbyes or whatever and dump me in the ocean. if the dolphins have their way with me after that's their business. i feel like the whole funeral business thing is fucking wasteful and pointlessly expensive, the grieving get taken advantage of. it's nice to go visit a grave and all afterwards, but if i get dumped in the ocean somewhere you can make a fun day of it.

I definitely recommend listening to the entire testimony. Once past the normal boring introductions and listening to the three witnesses it gets really good.

Could it be a giant psyop? Sure. Three witnesses were highly credentialed and under oath, but that could be all part of the 'bigger plan' if a giant psyop. If it was, then what for? This hardly got any main stream media coverage so if it was a coverup for something else, it was a piss poor coverup since the only news being regurgitated that day was of our imagining politicians freezing in place (Mitch McConnell) and how hot it was outside.

Yeah, I'm not sure why this wasn't publicized more or why even on reddit it never made it to /r/news, for example. Most the articles I did read or skim through were vague and didn't really touch base on much of the key points or claims made. Only places I could find on reddit giving an honest go-over was places like /r/conspiracy or, of course, /r/ufos .

I'd say to date it's the most credible and open discussion on the topic. The links you shared are certainly good reads, but submitted by people with unknown credentials and without being under oath in front of congress, though what they stated is very similar to what was shared on Wednesday before the world.


A personal experience of my own: As a kid in the early 90's, and in a very rural part of America, I always had a clear view of the night sky. My childhood was spent outdoors, climbing trees, building forts in the woods and just laying down in the yard at night staring at the stars.

I very distinctly remember seeing a large triangle shaped object one night, with the blunt side moving forward slowly and the pointy tip being the rear of the... thing. It seemed low to the ground (a few hundred feet maybe) and I recall a light in each corner and it moving slowly, that's it. I've never seen anything else in my life since then like that, and then probably about 6 or 7 years ago while sitting around a camp fire sharing some beers with some hikers (strangers) at a shared campsite we all happened to stop at one night while hiking a long trail in the region, we start swapping stories and someone else from the same general area as me mentioned seeing the exact same thing one night during the same timeframe (early 90's), this was mentioned before I had said anything at all. What he described was exactly what I had observed all those years prior.

There is also a military installment nearby, so the 'easy explanation' is that it was simply some experimental military craft that can move slowly, quietly, and 'backwards' (blunt side forward, pointy side backward). We'd occasionally have the house rattled due to sonic booms from military test flights back then, so there was definitely military activity and training in the area during this time period as well. Still eerie to think about it all these years later.

Had a family member in the Air Force who spent a lot of time out in New Mexico, and closer to his death he'd tell some stories. Many seemed like tall tales, but this is a man who wasn't much for gloating or bragging. I think a lot of what he shared was more, "heard through the grapevine", so to speak. He wasn't a front line grunt by any means, but certainly wasn't high up on the totem pole either.

Who knows.

Just seems implausible to think that we're alone and that the elements we require for life are the same elements required for other life. I hope we see more discourse and open transparent discussion on the subject from the government moving forward though!

As Mulder put it (X-Files): I want to believe 🤓

But very distrustful of the recent flood of coverage, and some moments of testimony aren't as convincing as others.

Without hard evidence: I like to consider any possibly beneficiaries.

(though maybe I should probably watch entire testimony before making a judgement)

One really comes to mind: could really help raise military budgets. 😉
