Vega Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, since there are a lot of fans of toms work in this forum i thought i'd post this here, i'm really interested in what the opinions on this issue are. As some of you may have heard or read, a few weeks ago Tom DeLonge announced a new branch of his To The Stars brand, which he claims will bring undisclosed knowledge on issues regarding astrophysics, space traveling and even ufos to the public. Now obviously he has always been crazy for that kind of stuff and in a lot of interviews it becomes apparent that he can be convinced of some weird shit quite easily. Even though on a recent joe rogan podcast he still talked about some wacky stuff, this time he seems to be a lot more serious about it. He seems to have assembled a team that includes people who previously worked at the CIA, in the pentagon etc. You can read all about that on the website or hear it on the video below. https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/ Most reactions i've read so far are generally more or less negative, saying that it's a scam and pretty much just another way to make money. I'm sort of on that side as well, especially after seeing the announcement broadcast that they did (below), eventhough i love the idea and really wish there was truth to it and that these guys actually have something real to share here. In the beginning of joe rogans podcast you really think that he has gone completely nuts now but after a while it gets quite interesting. Still something seems a bit off to me and the whole handling seems a bit weird. Maybe it's just because it's in the very early stages.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you are expecting anything more than an entertainment company your expectations are too high high. He will continue to release books and movies, but the space travel does not seem likely. I would consider him ambitious rather than crazy.

psus2h Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think it's really exciting and fascinating. His ambition is inspiring. Vega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njpunkmusic Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Dont really understand the concept, but I havent really read too much into it. Was never a Tom hater, so I support anything he is this passionate about. May not pan out, but wish him the best of luck. To go from dick and fart jokes to really attempting space travel is just insane and proves he really is a go getter. good luck Thomas! I hope this works out and everyone realizes he isn't as crazy as he sounds. Just a passionate dude Vega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 He sounds like he's taking a page from L. Ron Hubbard's playbook and creating an empire built around pseudo-science and man's incessant need for there to be more to existence (and their willingness to pay money to confirm it). I don't see any overt religious angles, which is likely a 21st century update to the business model, but this feels very much like a way to make a ton of dough. When he builds that room that bends space and time and he tours the bodies of the 1948 aliens, I will take this all back. Vega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shenanigans Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I couldn't get past Tom Delonge in a suit and those dumb faces he was making while trying to keep a straight face. Vega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The impression I got from the Joe Rogan episode is that he seems really detached from reality. Can't tell if he's lying about meeting with these various "insider" folks, or if he actually believes he has. It's kinda sad tbh.

If there is one thing I learned from watching 25 minutes of the HBO Scientology documentary, it is that people will straight up lie and distort reality if they think they are doing it in service of a noble cause or project. He might believe his pseudo-science media empire is so valuable to the world of entertainment that it's worth blending reality and fiction to tell a captivating meta-story about aliens and time travel.

Yes thats the same impression i got as well sadly, i really like him and really wish what he says is true and they are going to reveal something groundbreaking soon but it's highly unlikely...i wanna believe so hard in that stuff though hahaha the whole 'i can't tell you' just pisses me off though. if you want to reveal stuff to the public and want money from people to support you then at least fucking reveal a little bit with solid proof 1 hour ago, swb said: If there is one thing I learned from watching 25 minutes of the HBO Scientology documentary, it is that people will straight up lie and distort reality if they think they are doing it in service of a noble cause or project.

njpunkmusic Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I hope Tom changes the world while Mark continues to sing about seeing naked dudes in a pool. Would be so funny. I support Tom. People hate him cause he dropped out of a kiddie band to do more interesting stuff. Movies, writing, space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the people I talk to the reason for turning on tom had to do with his singing becoming a caricature of itself on everything post reunion.

Not to mention Angels and Airwaves was legitimately boring. Lol, like he was on some next level shit or something. It was as 'deep' as listening to a 15 year old mess with chorus and delay pedals in a Guitar Center. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hats off off to the guy though, his crowd funding is sitting at almost $2million. Maybe he’s not that crazy after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 So yesterday the pentagon admitted having a secret UFO investigation program and toms company released this video, seems that they're really starting to release things (fake or not fake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it says exclusively by his organization, since that's a flat out lie. There's actually a bunch more of it than what is even shown here.

Yeah i was asking myself anyway why they wouldn't just release better footage other than this if they are in possession of such, but still curious on how this continues, the fact that it's an official declassification by the department of defense is pretty cool, even if it's fake...interesting times 3 hours ago, throughbeingcruel said: That Joe Rogan episode was fucked.

There is a youtuber who looks at videos of people and judges their body language, she looked at a part of the joe rogan interview and said that tom was at most times genuinely honest but at other points obviously making something up, don't know man... i know it's a really naive standpoint but tom before was always one of the guys saying 'the government hides stuff from us' etc and now he could be telling lies in public about the same stuff together with the government? I would really love to know how he's actually doing, like if he's happy with this...if these accusations are true of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is debate as to whether the object is something extraterrestrial, but it moves differently and more quickly than any known plane, missile, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
