Space Program’s ET Cover-up

Dr. Michael Salla describes the time period when he was an assistant professor at American University and became convinced the government was covering up the existence of an extraterrestrial presence.

Salla dedicated more than 80 months of research to the matter, despite the risk it posed to his academic career. He has since written four books of what he calls the exopolitics of the secret space program. In the following video, courtesy of Super Soldier Talk, Salla shares the latest about the program, its technology, whistleblowers, documents, agreements and breakaway groups.

Student Loan Write-offs?

Student loans are difficult to repay in a sluggish economy, and many recent graduates are struggling under considerable debt. One proposal is forgiving student loans, but Prof. Daniel Lin from American University in Washington DC argues that debt forgiveness does not resolve the underlying causes of rising student debt, and therefore cannot prevent future debt problems.

Instead of debt forgiveness, Prof. Lin suggests making student loans like other types of loans: dischargeable in bankruptcy. This places the burden on lenders to ensure that students are not taking more debt than they can handle. While it would lead to a reduction in the amount of loan dollars awarded and increase interest rates, these are natural incentives that encourage borrowers to be more careful right now, and in the future, which puts pressure on colleges and universities to control their costs.
