Ok, then:
U.S. House candidate Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera may have a long list of accomplishments, but she is perhaps best known for claiming that she was abducted by space aliens as a child.
Rodriguez Aguilera is a longshot in the race for the Miami-area seat being vacated by retiring Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
Yet last weekend, the Miami Herald endorsed her for the GOP nomination in the Tuesday primary out of a field of nine candidates.
In an interview, Rodriguez Aguilera said she is grateful for the endorsement and that her tale of kidnapping by aliens does not define her.
Solid. How long is it going to take before Americans can travel overseas without everyone looking at us like we have ebola?

I slightly disagree. The real threat to the liberal world order is the 0.1%. Russia and China are just examples of their preferred model of governance.
The 0.1% have decided that the plebs have enough of the economy. Any future gains will be going to them, with the crumbs flowing to the 1%. Why are wages stagnant or declining in real terms across the Western world? Why are corporate profits at record levels? Why are governments continuing to give tax breaks to such profitable corporations? Why has the international banking system been turned into a money laundering scheme? Why are taxes on the very rich completely avoidable? Why is media ownership and control concentrating into fewer and fewer hands, who now have no compunction in translating that into political power?
Follow the money. There is a new aristocracy in the ascendancy. The American 0.1% have far more in common with the Russian and Chinese 0.1% than with their fellow citizens. It’s no wonder they are making common cause.

So this could be a good thing. She says they’re blond.
That should mean that they are Pleiadians. Which are usually spoken of as friendly Nordic looking humanoids trying to help us achieve our 5D upgrade (or is a 6D upgrade… It might be up to 7D hmm..).
But! What if they’re Reptilians?, (think of that green nazi cartoon dude, but with abs). A race that is let’s say, “unenthusiastic” about humanity’s burgeoning entry into the Galactic Assembly. The Reptilians have a confirmed history of being malevolent and even violent toward human entities. The risk is that the Reptilians have some sort of field generated camouflage or dimensional phase technology that allows them to appear to as humanoids to people who have not achieved a spiritual 5D upgrade (or 6th or 7th.. I can’t remember). They certainly can appear as blondes, and they already have the abs. Fortunately for Earth they are incapable of not being assholes for more than 30 seconds. One or two innocuous questions about their health or slavery will usually set them off.
If the Reptilians are attempting to snare FL politicians with their mind control technology, the probability schematics indicates that it would result in a more reality based government with little patience for irrationalities like climate deniers, supply side economy mooks, etc (the list goes on forever)
So, all in all, having some republican get anally probed so as to install a politician that has no patience for irrational apes is probably a good thing. I’m discounting that the aliens were Pleiadians ‘cause they would never let themselves get involved with emotionally barren people like, you know, those guys.
