After all the PANIC IN DC posts, and multiple references to rats, then comboy tweeting under Abe Lincoln, and hms elizabeth and @jack also making the same reference, my jimmies rustled. A rat will abandon ship before crew, so put that to DS, a swamp creature will seek murky waters when the swamp drains, and what better way to get there than by an "allies'" ship heading back into the heart of a bigger swamp? With any number of people blocked, stopped, and held, seems to me like it is time for president Abe to "exit the theater." All the player leave the stage. Given all the double and triple meanings, one order given for different groups to attack and others retreat to safer spaces.
Forgot the pic.
My new favorite answer about the observatory is that there is a secret underground base where captured ETs are experimented on and the lock down was caused by one escaping into the surrounding area.
I am reminded of Q's words about how the more you learn, the more unreal it becomes. Trafficking is well within the realm of plausible, but for the FBI to put air support for a containment says that there is more than seen.
My friend and I have a running theory about weather control in the time since alaska haarp transfered to university of alaska. We are thinking that instead of one massive array, the system is dividing into power, causing AM bands have super long or short coverage at all times of the day when operating, and control, taking the power dumped into the air and guiding it via lots of single towers or satellites that blend into the background. Sunspot doesn't match either requierment as I see it.
