Logos offer a guide to secret military research

Edit: accidentally posted subject matter from page two of article

Skulls. Black cats. A naked woman riding a killer whale. Grim reapers. Snakes. Swords. Occult symbols. A wizard with a staff that shoots lightning bolts. Moons. Stars. A dragon holding the Earth in its claws.

No, this is not the fantasy world of a 12-year-old boy.

It is, according to a new book, part of the hidden reality behind the Pentagon's classified, or "black," budget that delivers billions of dollars to stealthy armies of high-tech warriors. The book offers a glimpse of this dark world through a revealing lens — patches — the kind worn on military uniforms.

"It's a fresh approach to secret government," Steven Aftergood, a security expert at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, said in an interview. "It shows that these secret programs have their own culture, vocabulary and even sense of humor."

One patch shows a space alien with huge eyes holding a stealth bomber near its mouth. "To Serve Man" reads the text above, a reference to a classic "Twilight Zone" episode in which man is the entree, not the customer. "Gustatus Similis Pullus" reads the caption below, dog Latin for "Tastes Like Chicken."

4. I think it's great that our military is empathizing with murderous aliens
They will be well placed to operate as a vichy security force for our reticulon masters.

5. Now ingest this thread with a side of 'UFO Skeptics' from yesterday.
Not one person responded to my posts about how the things people are seeing in the skies are more than likely our very own creations (yes, the big, silent, floating things as well). And then, we get this thread, about the very people involved in those projects 'secretly' poking fun without anyone on the 'outside' being any wiser.

Oh, no. "Conspiracies that large can't possibly exist! They can't possibly be kept secret! There are too many people involved for that!"

Three things put the lie to that hogwash: the SR-71, the F-117A, and the B-2. All developed in secret, tested in 'public' (airspace, that is), and denied repeatedly before finally being revealed. Nobody can tell me, in light of those things- and especially in light of whatever shenanigans have been developed at the Groom Lake facility and its progeny- that large conspiracies to hide complex and groundbreaking research cannot exist merely because of their size or the number of people involved.

I know better.

6. I've even heard that the military spreads the UFO stuff as cover.
I guess that is yet another conspiracy theory. Though that seems the most likely.
