Weird when your longtime niche interests become the topic of secret congressional meetings. Weirder still when, as into those things as you may be, you’ve never been able to come to any conclusion for yourself as to whether those oddball things are A. “Real” in any sense of the word or B. You aren’t simply into it for the entertainment value of the folklore surrounding it. I’m beginning to feel that as “validating” as such official attention may (seem to?) be, it could just as easily validate the idea that it is indeed REAL or at the very least “something” as it could validate the deeply folkloric, universal (more than merely “bi-partisan”), even archetypal nature of it. It could, of course, be equally BOTH. It certainly is indicative of the era we’re living in that governmental officials at any level are publicly (well, in secret, but at least not denying they are) investigating or discussing a topic with such deep psychic (psyche “psychic” not Kreskin “psychic”) roots. Such layers are usually only dredged up in chaotic, transitional times.
