exopolitical, are you author of the article you quoted above in your first post? If not, it is a policy here not to quote long articles, but to link to them. The page you linked does not have an explicit copyright mark, but better safe than sorry.

If you are the author, then your first post is somewhat misleading in that regard.

I will note, very politely, that we have many people come here with alternative views. Many times their ideas are attacked with delight by people here. That is how science works; an idea lives or dies on its merits. However, I have found that many people identify very strongly with their ideas, and perceive this as an attack on them.

I would strongly urge you to read this thread about non-mainstream posts here, which was written by someone who himself has some very non-mainstream theories. It may help everyone here immensely.
