    We are under control and slavery. We have our wages taken, and you have no say so. If we steal a pack of gum we will be arrested. If politicians steal billions of dollars they are not arrested. They are above the law. We are slaves and the politicians brought out the whips, and we are hit across the back for every penny.

    Tintin : En effet mon cher Milou, cet engin est construit en un seul morceau, ce qui l'empêche d'être efficace lors de sa mise en orbite.

    It's not just about getting into space and staying there. There is no "energy debt to gravity". How dare you mislead people. We are trapped in a simulation by advanced malevolent beings.

    Looking forward to Earth Paying me it's Karmic Debt for "Trapping" me here all this time. Curious to know what it comes up with on its own. As long as Time-Travel and Amazing Orgasms are on the Table, I'm intrigued and will continue to stay here, even though I got plenty of open invitations from my "Alien Friends" to come hitch a ride with them.

    Земля – это штрафной батальон, совместно построенный высокоразвитыми цивилизациями.
    И все мы земляне – грешники, сосланные с других миров за серьёзные преступления.
    Смерть – не означает, что тебя заберут. Тебя перенесут в другую биомассу, где ты будешь продолжать мучиться.
    Иногда нам присылают учителей, по нашему – святых. Но мы упорно не перевоспитываемся.

    1 12 2024 vous ne savez pas encore draguer les extraterrestres ! C est du jamais vu ! De la part d'un démocrate chrétien qui aime à les draguer comme ça en toute bonne foi ! Cela sécurise mon niveau intellectuel en éternité spirituelle !

    So you need to use extended Maxwell's equations that couple electromagnetism with gravity and just make crafts that change their mass at will. This has already been done and the announcement is going to be made within the next decade.

    The real death trap is more sinister than anything you could imagine. This is a prison planet and we the inmates are totally unaware we are slaves. But that is all about to change. Free will conquer all
