"All joking aside, we're taking it very seriously," Goldfein told reporters during the Air Force Association's annual Air, Space, and Cyber Conference. "Our nation has secrets, and those secrets deserve to be protected. 'The people' deserve to have our nation's secrets protected."
Goldfein's comments will likely fan the flames of conspiracy theories already raging online, particularly in the wake of an explosive admission by a US Navy official that videos show encounters between US Navy aircraft and UFOs are real.
Over two million indicated they were taking part in the "Storm Area 51" event planned to take place on Friday.

German private detective Joseph Resch has announced that he is ready to disclose evidence relating to the crash of Flight MH17 that he has gathered - if the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), Netherlands, and Malaysia confirm their participation in the procedure in written form by 18 October. He also demanded that global media outlets and interested states be granted access to the information he reveals.

And hundreds more are following in her footsteps.
"Our government isn't doing enough," Emma Lim said on CBC Montreal's Daybreak Tuesday. The steps provincial and federal lawmakers are taking are "nowhere near the action needed," she said.
The young climate activist decided to take action of her own — launching a climate-change movement dubbed, "#No Future, No Children," that is quickly gathering steam.
Her campaign, which invites all Canadians to participate, officially kicked off Monday on Parliament Hill.
Damaged vehicles are seen at the site of a car bombing in Qalat, capital of Zabul Province, on September 19.
The September 19 incidents come after the collapse of negotiations between Washington and the militants and just days ahead of a presidential election.
Officials said at least 30 civilians were killed and 40 wounded in an air strike conducted by the Afghan security forces, backed by U.S. air support, in eastern Afghanistan, while at least 20 people were killed and almost 100 wounded in a car bombing in the war-wracked country's south.
The air strike was aimed at destroying a hideout used by Islamic State militants, but it accidentally targeted farmers near a field, three government officials said.
Sohrab Qaderi, a provincial council member in eastern Nangarhar Province, said a drone strike killed 30 workers in a pine-nut field and at least 40 others were injured.
Comment: None of this would be happening if the U.S. hadn't invaded Afghanistan. The war has been going on for 18 years. It's past time the U.S. gave up and went home.

The U.S. Census Bureau recently published complete 2018 export data for shipments of plastic waste (officially called "waste, paring and scrap") generated in the U.S. and sent to other countries. As shown in Figure 1, 78% (0.83 million metric tonnes) of the 2018 U.S. plastic waste exports were sent to countries with waste "mismanagement rates" greater than 5%. That means about 157,000 large 20-ft (TEU) shipping containers (429 per day) of U.S. plastic waste were sent in 2018 to countries that are now known to be overwhelmed with plastic waste and major sources of plastic pollution to the ocean. The actual amount of U.S. plastic waste that ends in countries with poor waste management may be even higher than 78% since countries like Canada and South Korea may reexport U.S. plastic waste. The data also indicates that the U.S. continued to export about as much plastic waste to countries with poor waste management as we recycle domestically [1].
Plastic pollution activists and the chemical and plastic product industries commonly agree that countries without secure waste management systems are not currently equipped to safely and sufficiently manage plastic waste. So why is the U.S. still adding to the problem by shipping our plastic waste to those countries?

The individual, suing as a "John Doe," filed claims in September 2018 with the allegation of being forced to grab the actor's genitals twice during a massage two years earlier at a private residence in Malibu. In May, a federal judge in California allowed the case to move forward despite Spacey's objection that the plaintiff's identity was being shielded.
Now, just a month after the parties came to a plan for proceeding in the suit that detailed prospective discovery and envisioned a seven- to 11-day trial, the plaintiff's attorney has informed Spacey that the client "recently passed."
No further detail is provided, and a request to the plaintiff's attorney for more information has not been answered.

There is perhaps no better example of watchdog journalism that holds the powerful to account and exposes their corruption than that of WikiLeaks, which exposed to the world evidence of widespread war crimes the U.S. military was committing in Iraq, including the killing of two Reuters journalists; showed that the U.S. government and large corporations were using private intelligence agencies to spy on activists and protesters; and revealed how the military hid tortured Guantanamo Bay prisoners from Red Cross inspectors.
It's this kind of real journalism that our First Amendment was meant to protect but engaging in it has instead made WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange the target of a massive smear campaign for the last several years — including false claims that Assange is working with Vladimir Putin and the Russians and hackers, as well as open calls by corporate media pundits for him to be assassinated.

Anyone concerned about their failure to "do their part" in "preventing climate change" can confess their sins to NBC in one of six categories: plastics, meat, energy, transportation, paper and food waste. Previous visitors' climate "sins" are posted anonymously, in case you need inspiration or can't remember how you last violated the trust of Mother Nature.
Comment: Let them sail yachts: Why Greta Thunberg and the environmental elite hate you:
See also:The elite don't just want to regulate how you travel and how you heat your home. They want to control what you eat and how you breed, too. Open the pages of any mainstream magazine; turn on your television; scroll through any mainstream news site and you'll see headlines like "To feed the world, why not eat bugs?," "Eating insects is good for you - and the planet!," "To Confront Climate Change, the Modern Automobile Must Die," and "Want to fight climate change? Have fewer children."
Thunberg, her elite backers, and their court scribes - if they're to be taken at their word - want you alone, immobile and, literally, eating insects in the name of environmentalism.

Jesse Boling spoke to 11 News reporter Robbie Reynold about the alleged incident.
School District 11 tells 11 News they are investigating this, but they're not saying much else because it is a personnel matter.
Seventeen-year-old Jesse Boling and his mother Cynthia are both furious. Cynthia Boling met with the Mitchell High School principal Monday morning and says she wants the employee fired.
According to Jesse, he was talking to two of his friends who were vaping in the locker room at Mitchell. He says a school employee saw them and took them to the office.
Backpacks and pockets were searched, but Jesse -- who says he was the only one without vaping tools -- received an extended search.
"This is where it kind of gets weird."
