WTH! Aliens announced on SKY NEWS | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4861211 12/08/2012 04:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's weird because Medvedev either has very dead-pan type of humor or he tends not to smile or smirk in general, including when he's joking about "Men in Black" aliens. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29345211 I can easily see people interpreting his comments as being total BS humor. But I can see others as believing this shows the guy dropping any pretense of confidentiality. Or blurting out information that to the average person -- especially to those in the media, who'll write off the seriousness of any politician who talks about ETs -- sounds like crap. It's strange because if it is total bullshit, his reaction shouldn't be quite so ambiguous. That's exactly it, he's done nothing to imply it was a joke. No laughing, no "jus' joking, y'all" comment, nothing! As far as he was concerned, it was an off the camera remark. |

This is the only way the mainstream media can dupe readers into believing not to take Medvedev's remarks seriously. But careful examination of his face and tone of voice when he made these remarks CLEARLY indicates that he was deadly serious when he was talking to the TV journalists and made these amazing comments. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29336337 +1000 some people just like to live they have been told to live. to be told medvedev was joking is sugar to their ears. but these people would also call the police and complain after a meteor destroyed the house. just idiots. unfortunately there still many. |

Alien Invasion was the last threat level before our economy can turn into itself and become sustainable, controllable......the NWO is the goal. Noting the last few were... National Threat (cold war days) Small State Threat (Iraq, North Korea) Individual Threat (Terrorists, rogue groups) Space Threat (Alien groups invading) Do your absolute best and the rest is fate. |

Just as people around the world are panicking about 12/21/2012 ... there's a thread here about that ... people in China buying out candles and matches, etc. Something strange is going on. Also, that video down below, where the Menedev is filmed after an interview chit-chatting, not realizing the cameras were still actually recording. Is there a transcript of what is being said (not a paraphase, but an actual transcript)? |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29252508 12/08/2012 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | @ OnTheFence Published on Dec 8, 2012 Mr Medvedev let his guard down after an interview with five Russian television stations when he failed to realise the cameras were still rolling. "I believe in Father Frost. But not too deeply. But anyway, you know, I'm not one of those people who are able to tell the kids that Father Frost does not exist," he said in a jovial reply to a question about Russia's equivalent of Santa Claus. He went on to make an unflattering allusion to Putin's frequent lateness for meetings. "Colleagues, somebody should be extremely punctual, while somebody else is exhausting all the limits for being late," he said, smiling wryly on a day when his mentor was more than an hour late for an event in southern Russia. The comments touched off satire on the internet which is unlikely to help Mr Medvedev, whose star has waned since Mr Putin took over from him as president in May after a four-year interval. In the interview itself, Mr Medvedev underlined his allegiance to Mr Putin and appeared determined to show he is in step with his ally to dismiss rumours he is about to be fired. Mr Medvedev defended Kremlin-backed laws which critics say will be used to stifle dissent and which appear out of sync with the prime minister's relatively liberal image. But in the off-air comments, he was less guarded. When one of the five journalists who interviewed him complained about federal investigators arriving to search the home of a witness in an inquiry early in the morning, Mr Medvedev told the journalist not to worry before stepping out of shot. But his microphone was still switched on when he said casually: "They are just jerks, so they come at eight in the morning. It's just their set of habits. I know many people who work in the police. They think if they come at seven in the morning they will get everything in the world." Another of the journalists asked whether the president is handed secret files on aliens when receiving the briefcase needed to activate Russia's nuclear arsenal. "Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special 'top secret' folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet," Mr Medvedev answered playfully. "Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country ... More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called 'Men In Black' ... I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic," he says. None of the television stations that interviewed Mr Medvedev broadcast the off-air comments, but they were delivered to Reuters as a pool signal and some were shown on YouTube. Mr Medvedev's standing has declined since he and Putin announced in September last year that the former KGB spy planned to return to the presidency, ending speculation his protege could stay on. They worked jointly in St Petersburg in the 1990s and it was Mr Putin who ushered Mr Medvedev, now 47, in to power in 2008. But some political analysts give Mr Medvedev only until March or April as prime minister, citing turf wars between rival interest groups. Even during the interview itself, Mr Medvedev answered some unusual questions. Asked whether he believed the world would end on Dec. 21 under a New Age prophecy, he said no. He said he might have another tilt at the presidency if the Russian people want it. But he won little acclaim on the internet. "It's sad when the former president and current prime minister of your country is simply a pathetic person," Yekaterina Kudinova wrote on Twitter. |

This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet," Mr Medvedev answered playfully.

More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called 'Men In Black' ... I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic," he says. The transcriber/writer describes Medvedev as being playful, and the reporter he's talking with does seem to be smiling. So if I only saw the transcript, I'd totally discount the seriousness of his talk about ET. And if his remarks were surrounded by totally jokey comments, I'd write off everything even faster. His comment of "more detailed information...you can get from a...movie called 'Men in Black' really does sound like he was clowning with the reporters. Still, there's something off kilter about the whole thing. It's strange because so many rumors or controversies out there -- especially among GLP paranoidtards or conspiracy loons -- that some people say should be taken seriously, upon closer review are nothing but bullshit. But I have to say if such folks claim the video of Medvedev should be treated with a bit more respect, I'd have to agree with them. |

If they do joke around it is in a very laugh first then tell the lie. Now 2 heads of states in the last week have came out in a serious tone warning of things that we have been watching for years. 2 weeks before the big show. but its all for laughs right COME ON FOLKS!!!!!! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 13363335 12/08/2012 04:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The part he mentions about control of the aliens raised a red flag because I think they have had an agreement with the Greys in exchange for technology (stealth, drone, x-ray, etc). I think that agreement has come to an end or has been breached so to speak and the greys are coming for the payup on either Dec 21 or 22nd. |
