There's no one better to walk us into that mystery than today's guest, Aldo Ribello.
Shopify made it simple to build a store that actually feels authentic to us,
In our case, it allowed us to focus on what matters and what we care about,
Well, Jesse, what all of us who keep up with this phenomena know
and it feels like they're more open to the phenomena than in places even like the US.
And it's not exclusive to the US, it's all over the world.
The US sacrificed a generation of their best pilots in trying to overtake the Russians during the Space Race.
the US entered a situation of despair and panic because they were surpassed in an event that gave the Soviet Union international projection.
If the US in fact had the material that would resist what was seen involving these objects, they wouldn't have sacrificed their own pilots.
So I don't think that it had anything to do with espionage on part of the US or even the Russians.
Tom Wolfe. Yeah. I mean, even in the 80s, the US was just starting to build stealth craft.
Not here, not in the US, not in Russia.
Who was leading the special alloy production for rockets and spaceships were the US and Russia.
What did they want from us?
Because this takes us back to a period, to the times of old, when humans didn't believe that in fact it was the Earth that revolved around the Sun.
And the secret service, the intelligence service probably, was paying attention in all of us.
In the US, you had Woodrow Wilson, you know, in the early 20th century, who was president of Princeton.
The same thing happens in the US, with a few exceptions.
It's lost its ability to select in the US, which is the role model of democracy that the world looks up to with more interest.
And it sounds like you sort of resonate with that, but that's definitely the case in the US.
So, this article said that they have offered a study on the risk of finance being attacked by hackers in the US.
The US government is very concerned about that and asked them not to publicize the study.
The problem is, the US government only wants a small group of companies to have access to these AI studies.
that would require a level of knowledge that perhaps isn't available to us.
Because politics, built on ignorance and lack of knowledge, can lead us to the worst catastrophes.
And, you know, the US, the Department of War is now dropping all of these documents.
The Department of War has a specific website that has 500 million hits, more than the entire US population.
You have congressmen in the US that take up the UFO issue that are seeing all sorts of amazing popularity because, you know, really people grab onto the issue.
And I wonder, why would a former US President from a very recent period and the current President, who has so many responsibilities, so many tough issues to deal with, in fact, he missed out on his own son's wedding ceremony, to monitor negotiations with Iran very closely and to open the Strait of Hormuz?
A former President of the United States also has a very busy schedule, conferences, talks all over the world, not only in the US.
You know, the final case I'll bring up is there's a Stanford professor named Gary Nolan, who's a famous professor in the US.
Who could ever here among us build similar material or process a similar alloy?
What brings us together?
Obviously, that's a key area of contest between the US and China, specifically when it comes to refinement.
Brazil has plenty of opportunities to have relations with both the US and with China.
Either we're paired with the US and we're going to stick with the Republican Party agenda,
Either with the US or with China.
Between the US or China, Brazil should choose Brazil.
Because we have a very powerful bond with the US.
The first trip of a US Secretary of State abroad was to Brazil.
We have a constellation on the Brazilian flag, and there is a constellation on the US flag.
Because the US is a powerhouse with geopolitical interests around the world.
So, we were recognized by the US as an independent country.
And the US supported that.
And that created a huge diplomatic standoff, because the US government, the embassy, and the consulate tried to put a stop to it.
In 1964, we had a coup in this country, with support of the US.
But right after that, the military cut relations with the US because of the nuclear program and the space program.
We gave the busiest airspace to the US, which is in the Northeast.
Vargas never left Brazil to travel to the US, but Roosevelt came here twice.
This is what I said when I was the Speaker of the House when I visited the US.
And we will not accept US military bases in South America, because that's going to create a difficult situation.
So we should have good relations with the US and with China.
And the same with the US.
There's a lot that Brazil can do, both with the US and with China.
We just need to choose in accordance with what fate has given us.
And when people ask us, why Minas Gerais?
Well, the answer for us is quite obvious, because there's a lot of rare elements.
For us, there's a close relationship between the UFO phenomenon and those rare elements, minerals, in the whole state.
