Today is Star Wars Day….May the Fourth be with you.
In that vane I would like to tackle those missing scientists.
By now everyone has at least heard the stories of all those missing scientists….the problem is there is no common denominator for their disappearance or death….or is there?
It sounds like the plot for an episode of The X-Files: at least 10 scientists – and counting – who all supposedly had access to sensitive US government research are dead or missing under mysterious circumstances.
Four worked for Nasa; three of them were even on the same team. Two had worked together at the same national laboratory in New Mexico. Another – a former senior air force research engineer who left his home on Feb 27 and hasn’t been seen since – had been involved in UFO research after his retirement.
The nature of the researchers’ work – which spans nuclear science, astrophysics and aeronautics – has led to speculation in recent weeks that they might all be connected.
Conspiracy theories abound, mostly online, about the possible links between the cases, while others suggest it is a coincidence.
“We’re going to look for connections,” Kash Patel, the FBI director, conceded in an interview with Fox News, noting that the FBI would be looking at the scientists’ “access to classified information” and “foreign actors”.
“If there’s any connection that leads to nefarious conduct or conspiracy, this FBI will make the appropriate arrest,” he said.

Sorry but I would not trust that lush Patel with anything much less investigating these events.
I am sure by now everyone knows that there will be some sort of conspiracy to grow up around these incidents…..
First the project’s biggest funder died preposterously, of an infected wound from shaving. Soon death came for others linked to the inscrutable and important work — a visiting diplomat, the lead funder’s half-brother, and a string of scientists involved with the project. They died of suicide, of strange illnesses, in a gruesome murder. There were so many deaths that there was no way they could not be connected. Finally, the project’s lead scientist and most famous face died unexpectedly, years after the project’s completion.
Anyone following the news lately might think the above paragraphs are about the “disappearing scientists” story, alleging that a number of researchers and scientists connected to the defense industry or astrophysics have all died of unusual causes over the last year, with some vanishing while on walks and others horrifically murdered in seemingly random shootings.
This conspiracy theory has jumped from obscurity to global coverage in just weeks, with more names being added to the “death list” every day.
I do not want to add to the conspiracy but there has got to be some sort of commonality in these incidents…..when they discover that they will most likely discover what the Hell is going on.
Any thoughts?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
the whole “story” is actually complete BS. First the allegedly missing persons include a man with alzheimer’s who wandered away from home who wasn’t a scientist but a retired military man, a woman who claims she does research on “antigravity” for NASA who’s never worked for any scientific organization in her life, and several others. Only about half of the missing persons were actually engaged in any kind of legitimate research. Considering the number of people who are doing research for various institutions and the government, one would expect hundreds to die or go missing in any given period of time under entirely normal circumstances.
It’s basically complete nonsense. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle. If you start digging into the actual facts, the whole thing falls apart. If you look at the actual real disappearances of boats or planes in the so called Bermuda Triangle, you’ll quickly find that has fewer unexplained disappearances than many other areas of the ocean.
It’s the Youtube/ticktokers/influencers trying to scramble for views of their channels to rake in that yummy money who’ve latched onto this stupidity. And, of course, our government being one of the stupidest in the history of the world, and being desperate to try to distract people from it’s own corruption and utter stupidity, has latched onto this to try to distract the public from how badly they’re fecking things up.
So basically it is a distraction….I can see that….chuq
“If there’s any connection that leads to nefarious conduct or conspiracy, this FBI will make the appropriate arrest,” he (FBI Director Patel) said.

An increasing number of Americans are starting to recognize that there is essentially no relationship between Kash Patel and the term “appropriate arrest” (See: Coverups of staged Trump assassination attempt – Butler, PA, Charlie Kirk covert murder – Utah)…
Jerry That is why I wrote what I did….he is as useless as a garden slug when it comes to solving crime. chuq
Jerry, you’re absolutely right. In any other administration Patel would have been booted out within weeks of being appointed or even brought up on charges. He’s misused agency resources, used agency planes to fly to sporting events in the US and overseas, used agency planes and vehicles to travel to see his girlfriend’s performances, he’s made statements to the media that have directly threatened ongoing agency investigations. And, of course, right now he’s up to his neck in accusations of being intoxicated on the job. He’s desperate to try to do anything to distract the general public from the fact that he has been an utter failure. So nice juicy conspiracy story like this has been a godsend for him and the administration.
I and my friends got bored a lot when we were in college and in an effort to liven things up a bit we pulled the occasional class related stunt just to keep from falling asleep. In one of my statistics classes my partner and I wrote a paper proving a relationship between the number of in-ground swimming pools in the United States and the number of suicides. We “proved” there was a direct relationship between the increase in the number of swimming pools and an increase in suicides and came to the conclusion that therefore swimming pools should be banned.
Hmm, come to think of it, damn I’m glad I never had me for a student when I was teaching….
THat is fabulous….stats can be boring….LOl chuq
““When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
That logical deduction by the Sherlock Holmes character doesn’t help much here because, in these cases, anything is indeed possible. However, the growing suspicion over these deceased and missing scientists is warranted in my opinion because:
1) Contrary to dismissive opinions, they were all involved in cutting-edge scientific research and experimentation mostly for NASA and the Department of Defense.
2) The deaths and disappearances occurred over a short span of years and are typified by mysterious circumstances and inconclusive investigations.
3) The annual death rate of scientists and engineers is very low compared to the general population.
4) Some of the circumstances – such as one scientist who suddenly disappeared while jogging with a friend, and another who had stated that her life was in danger – are exceptional.
Let’s base our opinions on facts, and right now there are insufficient facts available. In other words, we don’t know if anything larger is at work here. And, until we do know, let’s not presume innocence on the part of agencies which have proven time and again to be not so innocent.
So strange…in the chaos that is today’s world, anything is possible it seems, EXCEPT the idea that Patel will have anything to do with solving it. Ten years from now we will look at the people currently leading our government and know exactly why our country was destroyed form within.
Let’s hope so….I worry about the withholding of ‘dangerous’ info from the people especially if we lose FOIA. chuq
Totally agree – all the guardrails are not only off, but smashed into useless debris!
