You've probably heard that Trump's aides intentionally withhold information from him so he won't blab it to our enemies. If there were aliens in Area 51, the military certainly wouldn't tell Trump about them.

Area 52 is where the aliens are really stored.

Darwin award on a mass scale. Charging a secure US military site is a great way to get shot, en masse.

There's nothing there but a formerly top-secret Airforce base that was the main center of stealth and high-altitude reconnaissance research for the USAF during the 60s, 70s and 80s. The moment they agreed to declassify it, there was no longer any cutting-edge research ongoing at the site.

Lets say, for shits and giggles, that there was a UFO or 6 there at one time. There wasn't, but let's humour the kooks. Let's say that even though the site has been declassified, and the public made aware of its existence, that, for some unfathomable reason, the assets have not been moved offsite. If they existed (they don't), they have, but, again, humour the kooks. Let's say that 5000 hardcore idiots try to storm the base where literally the greatest secret mankind has ever had is being stored. Let's say there's no mindfields on the grounds, no drones on alert, no hidden barbed-wire within the brush, etc. Lets's say that, by some incredible stroke of luck, they make it to the facility.....

You know this place will have hardened defensive positions, right? With night-vision and IR heat sensors? And that McCarron is literally 60 seconds out? 5000 idiots clumped together make a great target for a strafing run or three from an A-10 or a bariatric bomb dropped by an F22 or F35. Failing that, I'm sure the 50 cal. on top of the (insert current LAV here) will do the job. Do thee people actually think that, if there is anything alien there (again, there's not), that the US military would just let them in to see because there is a lot of them?

People are fucking stupid, and delusional; not just about the aliens, but the fact that several thousand people- the more there are, the worse it actually is- won't be considered an active invasion force by the US military, on US military land, and dealt with as such.

Darwin award.

I sure hope it happens.

you and me both.

Assuming this happens (it won't), would American soldiers obey orders to shoot to kill 120,000 of their civilian countrymen? Would those orders be given, when there's nothing worse they could they do inside the base than getting themselves napalmed in plain sight outside it?

1) It won't be 120,000 idiots- you'd be lucky if its 12,000, and it will likely be closer to 1200.

2) I am pretty sure that trespassing on US military land listed as an active military base means you forfeit your rights as a US citizen, including the non-existent one that says you won't be shot for trespassing anywhere, let alone on an ACTIVE military base.

3) The government has kids separated from their parents, in cages living in inhumane conditions along the border; you don't actually think that a strafing of a bunch of idiots who are actively storming a- again, ACTIVE- US military base by a ground superiority aircraft is below them, do you?

4) Area 51 is, to public knowledge, a live, operational military facility containing some sort of designation on the "secret" hierarchy. Just because the USAF admitted it exists, and it does not contain super-duper alien secrets that would make Giorgio Tsoulakos' hair fall out, that does not mean that it is not operational, not used to conduct research or testing, and not still considered secret/top secret/etc. What do you think the military response would be to a "storming" of Fort Bragg/Benning/McCarron/etc by 1200- or 12000, or 120,000- idiots at 3am on a given night? My guess is bloodshed, and lots of it, followed by Trump claiming he put down a "Liberal Military Insurrection" in the desert. (OK, maybe not that last part, but that would be crazy as shit to see the Great American Cheetoh trying to spin the deaths of a large number of US citizens on US soil for votes)

5) Are the sonic cannons working yet?

I've seen them jack up somebody for accidentally walking across a red line on the flight line. Believe me, after hours of sitting bored these guys are ready for action.

It's pretty neat, you can look it up on Google Maps and see the runways in the dry lakebed. While there look just to the Southwest to see all the nuclear craters we made at the Nevada Test Site.

also, i think they shot someone within the last 10 years for attempting to enter. so yeah.

i also hear it's protected by a minefield

If the internet knows this is going to happen, the CIA will also know this is going to happen. They'll just move the shit to Area 52. Job done.

"peace on earth" was all it said
