My sentiment on the Australian shootings: Fascist Zionists who are part of the war criminal Netanyahu's clique deserve to be shot. The other 99.6% of the wonderful Jewish people do not, and this is an unacceptable tragedy and crime.

This is a reminder that UFOs are a social phenomenon based around people misunderstanding what they see.

And it is a mistake for astronomers and other scientists to pretend otherwise.
