Give the Vice President a Copy of ‘Birthright’: The best political move that the White House could make would be to talk about Aliens and their relationship to mankind

In the quiet rhythms of a life well-lived in Middletown, Ohio—where the Ohio River Valley whispers stories of ancient mounds and forgotten giants—few pursuits bring deeper satisfaction than the steady arrival of a new issue of Biblical Archaeology Review. For decades, since I was eleven or twelve years old, these pages have anchored a lifelong fascination with the tangible remnants of Scripture: pottery shards from Israelite settlements, inscriptions confirming kings mentioned in the books of Kings and Chronicles, and excavation reports that ground the biblical narrative in real soil and stone rather than abstract myth.  That same reverence for evidence extends naturally to the majestic ESV Archaeology Study Bible from Crossway, a volume packed with hundreds of full-color photographs, detailed maps, timelines, and notes contributed by field-trained archaeologists who have walked the very sites they describe. It doesn’t indulge in wild speculation; instead, it methodically illuminates how discoveries at places like Megiddo, Hazor, Lachish, or the City of David correspond directly to the texts we hold dear, reinforcing that the Bible is not some detached spiritual allegory but a record deeply interwoven with verifiable history, geography, and material culture.   

The more one engages with these resources, the deeper the layers become. Archaeology confirms the plausibility of biblical events and places, but it also leaves space for the “paranormal” or supernatural dimensions that the texts themselves never shy away from—encounters with spiritual forces, hybrid beings, and cosmic rebellions that shape human destiny across millennia. This interplay becomes especially urgent in 2026, as Vice President J.D. Vance has spoken openly about his long-standing obsession with UFO files and his firm conviction that what many call extraterrestrial visitors are not aliens from distant planets in the conventional science-fiction sense. In a recent interview with podcaster Benny Johnson, Vance stated plainly, “I don’t think they’re aliens. I think they’re demons anyway.” He frames the phenomena through a Christian worldview: there is real good and real evil operating in the unseen realm, and entities engaging in “weird things to people”—abductions, genetic interference, or deceptive encounters—align more readily with biblical descriptions of spiritual deception than with benevolent or neutral visitors from another star system. Vance, drawing on his background as a Marine, lawyer, author of Hillbilly Elegy, and now Vice President with access to the highest-level classifications, has vowed that the Trump administration will pursue the genuine disclosure of classified UFO-related materials. His goal appears practical as well as curious: get ahead of cultural shaping moments, such as a potential new Spielberg film that could frame the narrative in purely secular or optimistic “space brothers” terms, much as Close Encounters of the Third Kind did in the late 1970s when it profoundly influenced public perception and even inspired my own fourth-grade report on UFO sightings. His sincerity stands out, especially coming from someone rooted in Midwestern values, family commitments, and a desire to serve effectively without descending into fringe hysteria. Many everyday “normies”—folks who grill hot dogs on weekends, mow lawns on Saturdays, follow the Cincinnati Reds, and focus on practical concerns like gas prices and raising kids—are now paying attention because the topic has shifted from taboo conspiracy to something discussed at the highest levels of government.    

This broad-brush linkage of UFO phenomena to “demons” carries real merit as an initial guardrail. It rightly rejects naive materialism that assumes everything must fit within a purely physical, Darwinian cosmos devoid of spiritual agency. It echoes concerns raised by figures like Tucker Carlson in recent years and acknowledges that evil is not merely a human construct but involves intelligent opposition to God’s order. Yet it also risks painting with strokes that are too wide, potentially collapsing distinct layers of a complex cosmic conflict into a single undifferentiated category. This is precisely where Timothy Alberino’s 2020 book Birthright: The Coming Posthuman Apocalypse and the Usurpation of Adam’s Dominion on Planet Earth stands out as one of the most articulate, Scripture-rooted, and up-to-date bridges available. Alberino, an explorer, filmmaker, and researcher who brings an almost Indiana Jones spirit to biblical scholarship—traveling to remote sites, engaging ancient texts, and connecting dots across disciplines—does not dismiss the demonic dimension. Instead, he refines the categories with precision drawn from Genesis, the Book of Enoch, the Epistle of Jude, Revelation, and the broader ancient Near Eastern context, while integrating modern reports of abductions, hybridization programs, and transhumanist trends.   

Alberino constructs his framework around a pre-Adamic galactic rebellion led by Lucifer, personified as the dragon or morning star, who fell from his exalted position. This insurrection caused widespread devastation across the cosmos, leaving planets and realms in a state of tohu va-bohu—formless and void, as Genesis 1:2 poetically describes the initial condition of Earth before renewal. God then restores the terrestrial realm and appoints Adam as regent, granting humanity the irrevocable birthright of dominion: to rule as image-bearers, sons and daughters of the Most High, exercising authority over creation in partnership with Heaven. Humanity is positioned as the “younger sibling” in a universe already populated by an “elder race”—advanced non-human beings, primarily angelic orders, possessing greater perception, capabilities, and even technology-like means of traversal (what we might today interpret as aerospace phenomena). This elder race includes both loyal servants of God and those who joined the rebellion.  

The critical transgression comes with the Watchers, a group of fallen angels detailed in Genesis 6:1-4 and expanded dramatically in the Book of Enoch (particularly the Book of the Watchers, chapters 1–36). These beings descend to Earth, take human women as wives, and produce hybrid offspring known as the Nephilim—violent giants who fill the earth with bloodshed, corruption, and forbidden knowledge. The Watchers teach humanity sorcery, metallurgy, cosmetics, weapons-making, and other arts that accelerate moral decay and violence. The Flood serves as a divine reset, wiping out the corrupted order, yet the disembodied spirits of the slain Nephilim persist as restless, tormented entities. These become the “demons” or unclean spirits familiar from the New Testament—beings that seek embodiment, oppress, possess, haunt, and torment humanity, craving the physicality they lost when their giant bodies perished. This distinction is crucial and consistent in Alberino’s analysis: demons are specifically the bodiless spirits of the dead Nephilim giants, operating primarily in the invisible spiritual realm.  

In contrast, modern UFO or “alien” phenomena—encounters with Grays, reported abductions, cattle mutilations, hybridization programs, and craft exhibiting advanced propulsion—represent a different but related layer. Alberino argues these are physical, biological entities, not mere disembodied spirits. They may be engineered hybrids, surviving bloodlines from pre-Flood or post-Flood incursions, or tools deployed by the ongoing Luciferian agenda. These beings operate with tangible technology, agendas centered on genetic tampering, and a long-term strategy to push humanity toward transhumanism—the merging of biology with machines, AI, or artificial enhancements that promise god-like power but ultimately corrupt the image of God in man. This echoes the ancient corruption of the human seed but updates it for a technological age. Labeling everything “demons” with a broad brush misses the tangible, fleshly (or bio-engineered) component of the warfare. Both the demonic spirits and the physical alien entities oppose God’s created order and seek to usurp Adam’s birthright, but they function on different fronts: one through invisible oppression and possession, the other through visible incursions, deception, and ideological subversion. The endgame Alberino warns of is a posthuman apocalypse, where humanity trades its divine inheritance for counterfeit upgrades, paving the way for a counterfeit kingdom ruled by an adversary who may even present through advanced aerospace means.  

This nuanced model provides profound ballast for any impending disclosure. If government files reveal physical craft, recovered bodies, or documented interactions, a simplistic “all demons in disguise” approach could leave people spiritually and intellectually unprepared for the fuller biblical cosmology. Alberino’s work equips readers to see the phenomena as part of an ancient, multi-front war rather than random anomalies or friendly visitors. It rejects both materialist reductionism (everything is just advanced human tech or natural phenomena) and unanchored mysticism, always anchoring back to Christ as the ultimate restorer of dominion and the One who reclaims the birthright on behalf of redeemed humanity. Transhumanism, in this light, is not neutral progress but the latest glittering bait—much like Esau trading his birthright for stew—designed to produce a species no longer eligible for the redemption offered through the seed of the woman.

This framework harmonizes beautifully with the hard archaeological and historical evidence that publications like Biblical Archaeology Review and study Bibles like the ESV edition help contextualize, while extending courageously into territories mainstream academia often avoids. Consider the work of Fritz Zimmerman, whose exhaustive compilations—The Encyclopedia of Ancient Giants in North America and related volumes—draw from thousands of 19th- and early 20th-century newspaper accounts, county histories, and pioneer reports. Across the Ohio River Valley and beyond, stories abound of massive human skeletons unearthed during farming, railroad construction, or mound excavations: individuals seven to twelve feet tall, sometimes with double rows of teeth, elongated skulls, or other anomalous features. These finds cluster particularly in Adena and Hopewell cultures, with large conical mounds, geometric earthworks, and burial practices that suggest a distinct ruling or priestly class. Many accounts describe bones that crumbled to dust upon exposure to air, or specimens that mysteriously vanished after being sent to institutions like the Smithsonian. Zimmerman documents hundreds of such cases across dozens of states, with especially dense concentrations in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Native American oral traditions in the region often speak of an earlier race of giants—red-haired, bearded, or technologically advanced—who warred with incoming tribes or were eventually driven out. These accounts align strikingly with biblical and extra-biblical references to post-Flood Rephaim, Anakim, Emim, and other giant clans, including Og of Bashan (whose iron bed measured over thirteen feet) and the family of Goliath. The pattern of suppression or dismissal of these finds mirrors the historical handling of UFO reports: both challenge purely materialist or evolutionary paradigms that prefer gradual human development without anomalous interventions.   

Closer to home here in Ohio, the Great Serpent Mound in Adams County offers another compelling intersection of geology, archaeology, and potential sacred knowledge. The effigy mound itself—an undulating serpent nearly a quarter-mile long, with a coiled tail and open mouth appearing to swallow an egg-like oval—sits precisely on the rim of a confirmed cryptoexplosion or impact structure. Geological surveys confirm this as a complex impact crater roughly eight miles in diameter, formed by an asteroid or comet strike between approximately 252 and 330 million years ago (late Paleozoic era). Evidence includes shatter cones in the bedrock, planar deformation features in quartz grains (indicating extreme shock pressures), breccias, and a central uplift with intensely faulted and folded strata. The structure features a central dome, transition zone, and ring graben. Why would ancient builders—likely Adena or Fort Ancient peoples—choose this precise location for such a monumental earthwork, investing enormous labor to shape the serpent with astronomical precision? The head aligns with the summer solstice sunset, and the overall form may track lunar standstills or equinoxes. Placing a sacred effigy at the edge of a massive ancient scar suggests either extraordinary astronomical observation or guidance from intelligences attuned to celestial and terrestrial energies. Similar patterns appear globally at megalithic sites built on anomalous geological features, hinting at interactions with forces or entities beyond ordinary human capability in the eras traditionally assigned. Erosion over deep time has softened the crater’s expression, but the underlying anomaly remains, inviting questions about why certain “high places” or power centers were repeatedly chosen for temples, mounds, or alignments across cultures.    

Alberino’s analysis gains further depth when paired with the Book of Enoch, preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls and now available in editions with scholarly commentary, including contributions associated with Alberino. This ancient text expands dramatically on the sparse account in Genesis 6, detailing the Watchers’ descent on Mount Hermon, their oath-bound pact, the birth and rampaging violence of the giants, and the forbidden teachings that corrupted pre-Flood civilization. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, is taken up without dying and receives heavenly visions, serving as a scribe and intermediary. The text describes the giants’ spirits, after their bodies are destroyed in the Flood judgment, becoming evil spirits that afflict humanity—precisely the origin story for demons that Alberino and others distinguish from the physical players in the ongoing conflict. The Dead Sea Scrolls’ validation of Enochic material alongside canonical books underscores that these ideas circulated widely in Second Temple Judaism and influenced early Christian thought, even if the book itself was not included in the final Protestant canon. Reading Enoch alongside Genesis, Jude (which quotes it), and 2 Peter provides a richer scaffolding for understanding why paranormal activity persists rather than vanishing after the Flood or the cross: it adapted, going underground behind the distractions of polite society, technology, entertainment, and daily survival. Sports scores, mortgages, careers, and weekend routines occupy mental space, leaving little room for reflection on deeper cosmic narratives—yet the ancient texts insist the battle continues. 

David Flynn’s provocative research in Temple at the Center of Time adds yet another layer, building on Sir Isaac Newton’s extensive (and often private) studies of biblical prophecy, chronology, and sacred measurements. Newton, far from a purely secular scientist, devoted significant energy to deciphering what he saw as a “prisca sapientia”—an ancient pure knowledge embedded in Scripture and architecture. Flynn maps distances and geometries from the Jerusalem Temple Mount using modern tools and finds uncanny correlations with pivotal historical dates, including links to 1948 and the rebirth of Israel. The Temple functions not merely as a religious site but as a prophetic and temporal landmark, with measurements potentially encoding timelines and geographic centers of divine activity. Alberino engages such synchronicities appreciatively but cautiously, always subordinating them to the clear Christocentric gospel: Jesus as the true Temple, the restorer of dominion, and the One who defeats the dragon decisively at the end. This approach avoids numerological excess while honoring the idea that sacred geography and time may reflect deeper divine order amid the chaos of rebellion.  

Broader explorations by researchers like Graham Hancock—focusing on lost advanced civilizations, potential Younger Dryas cataclysms, megalithic sophistication predating conventional timelines, and underwater ruins—find partial integration in Alberino’s biblical axis without abandoning scriptural authority. Pre-Flood or immediately post-Babel influences could reflect lingering effects of rebel factions or their human collaborators, manifesting as pockets of advanced knowledge, monumental construction, or anomalous technology that later cultures remembered as “golden ages” or Atlantean echoes. The Tower of Babel itself, recently re-examined in Biblical Archaeology Review for grammatical nuances suggesting the structure may have been portrayed as completed before divine intervention, represents another rebellion against God’s order: humanity unified in pride, seeking to “make a name” through monumental architecture (likely a ziggurat in the Mesopotamian context) rather than trusting divine provision and scattering as commanded. Archaeological parallels to Mesopotamian ziggurats abound, yet the biblical emphasis remains theological—confusion of languages as judgment on centralized defiance. Recent articles explore whether the tower narrative assumes completion, deepening interpretive questions about human hubris and divine sovereignty. Alberino would see such events as recurring motifs in the usurpation attempt: centralized power, forbidden tech or knowledge, and attempts to breach heavenly boundaries. 

In an era when political necessities may soon force greater openness on classified files—driven by leaks, public pressure, and the need to shape the narrative before Hollywood or adversarial powers do—Birthright offers essential intellectual and spiritual preparation. It reframes UFO discourse away from pure mysticism or sci-fi optimism into a coherent biblical war narrative: not random extraterrestrial tourists, but a multi-front assault on humanity’s God-given role as stewards and image-bearers. Demonic spirits (Nephilim ghosts) handle much of the invisible torment, possession, and oppression; physical or bio-engineered entities advance genetic subversion, ideological erosion (through atheism, Darwinian reductionism, or self-deification), and the transhumanist trajectory toward a posthuman counterfeit. The Antichrist figure, in some interpretations Alberino entertains, could even emerge with aerospace or technological grandeur rather than purely supernatural spectacle. Yet the ultimate message remains one of hope and redemption: the birthright, though contested and partially squandered through deception, was never permanently revoked. Christ, the last Adam, reclaims and restores it for all who trust in Him, culminating in the final battle at Armageddon and the renewal of creation where dominion is exercised rightly under the King of Kings.

For those of us in Ohio, with Patterson Air Force Base lore circulating for generations—stories of reverse-engineered craft, anomalous materials, or even giant remains studied quietly—these discussions feel less abstract. Regional Bigfoot sightings, mound complexes, and persistent UFO reports over the years seem to belong to the same interwoven story when viewed through a biblical lens: remnants or echoes of ancient incursions, spiritual oppressions, and ongoing attempts to challenge humanity’s assigned role. Friends and acquaintances in politics, like State Senator George Lang, have shared late-night conversations about ancient aliens, Easter Island’s buried bodies, or megalithic mysteries with me—moments that transcend partisan lines and touch the deeper adventure of discovery. Even mainstream figures are now engaging topics once confined to podcasts or fringe circles, precisely because evidence from multiple disciplines has accumulated: archaeological anomalies, textual survivals like Enoch, eyewitness consistency in abduction reports, and technological leaps that raise questions about origins and agendas.

Vance’s instinct to categorize the phenomena demonically serves as a healthy initial filter against overly optimistic or materialist interpretations. Alberino’s added nuance—distinguishing layers while maintaining a unified adversarial agenda—prepares believers, seekers, and even policymakers to engage disclosure without panic, deception, or loss of grounding. It encourages deeper engagement with Scripture, cross-referencing using archaeological tools like the ESV Study Bible, insights from the Dead Sea Scrolls, and an honest evaluation of extra-biblical texts. The answers, as so often happens, rarely reside comfortably within the institutional boxes built by academia, government, or the media; they reward those willing to follow the evidence across archaeology, ancient literature, contemporary reports, and cosmic theology. The birthright of dominion remains humanity’s divine inheritance—contested, yes, but ultimately secured through the finished work of Christ.

Those interested in building a firmer foundation would do well to read Birthright multiple times, allowing its dense interconnections to settle. Pair it with Zimmerman’s giant compilations for regional grounding, Flynn for sacred geography explorations (read critically), primary Enoch translations with commentary, ongoing issues of Biblical Archaeology Review for fresh site reports (including recent discussions on Babel’s grammar and implications), and the ESV Archaeology Study Bible for visual and contextual depth. The puzzle’s outer edges have long been visible; the middle is filling rapidly with every honest inquiry. When fuller disclosure arrives—whether driven by political timing, inevitable leaks, or cultural momentum—it will rattle many worldviews. A framework anchored in dominion, rebellion, fall, redemption, and ultimate victory equips us not merely to understand strange phenomena but to stand firm in our created purpose amid the storm.

The adventure has always lain just beyond the handrails of “normal” life. For those who dare step out—whether a vice-presidential advisor seeking context, an Ohio resident curious about local mounds and base rumors, or anyone sensing that polite society’s distractions have hidden deeper truths—the rewards include a clearer vision of who we are, why the conflict persists, and how the story ends with restoration rather than extinction or usurpation. In the end, remembering the birthright is not about fear of aliens or demons but about reclaiming our identity as image-bearers destined for glory in a renewed creation. The evidence, both ancient and emerging, continues to point in that direction for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. And for all those reasons, and more, we need to give Vice President Vance a copy of Timothy Alberino’s Birthright, for a context to the White House narrative of Alien Disclosure and the many new questions that will come with it.

Beyond the immediate policy landscape, the issue of disclosure presents a unique cultural and political inflection point. At a time when the public is saturated with economic anxiety—elevated energy prices, trade tensions, contentious Supreme Court cases, and ongoing losses and gridlock in both the House and Senate—voters are increasingly responsive to issues that offer transparency, curiosity, and a sense of shared truth. Gas prices may fluctuate and stabilize over time, but public trust, once eroded, is far more difficult to recover. Disclosure, approached carefully and credibly, speaks directly to that trust deficit.

Historically, disclosure efforts have generated intense public interest but have often failed to deliver substantive clarity. Episodes surrounding the Epstein records or the long-promised JFK disclosures fueled attention, speculation, and media buzz, yet ultimately left many Americans dissatisfied by incrementalism and ambiguity. A future disclosure moment does not necessarily have to follow that pattern. If handled with seriousness, institutional credibility, and clear communication, it could stand apart as a rare instance where public curiosity is met with meaningful acknowledgment rather than prolonged deferral.

Culturally, the subject of disclosure—whether related to unexplained phenomena, advanced technologies, or anomalous encounters—has increasingly found resonance among communities traditionally aligned with progressive or countercultural movements. This has allowed one side of the political spectrum to dominate the narrative space, framing disclosure as an expression of openness, curiosity, and empathy for everyday people who report unusual experiences. That cultural alignment is not inevitable, however. There exists an opportunity for broader engagement that avoids sensationalism while still acknowledging the legitimacy of public interest in these phenomena.

Public-facing engagement does not require endorsement of every claim or abandoning analytical rigor. Rather, it involves meeting voter curiosity with respect—recognizing that unexplained observations and regional folklore often function as entry points into deeper questions about science, government transparency, and institutional credibility. When approached thoughtfully, this engagement can humanize leadership, counter perceptions of detachment, and prevent disclosure-related narratives from being monopolized or caricatured.

From a broader political perspective, disclosure also represents a rare issue capable of temporarily transcending partisan exhaustion. In a midterm environment where voters are seeking tangible “wins” amid legislative stalemate, disclosure—if it produces real information and measurable transparency—could serve as a confidence-building event rather than a distraction. Done well, it has the potential to occupy the public narrative during periods when other contentious issues naturally cool, offering space for recalibration rather than escalation.

For these reasons, disclosure is not merely a speculative subject but a test of institutional seriousness. Its success depends less on timing theatrics and more on whether it delivers clarity, credibility, and follow-through. Managed responsibly, it could become one of the defining public conversations of the coming election cycle—one remembered not for hype, but for substance.

The Hidden Library of Ecuador: Another block falling away from Disclosure

The narrative surrounding Erich von Däniken’s The Gold of the Gods (1973) exemplifies how speculative literature can propel real-world exploration, blending pseudoscience with genuine adventure and leaving enduring questions about hidden histories. Von Däniken’s book amplified claims originating from Juan Moricz, who described discovering artificial tunnels, gold artifacts, peculiar sculptures, and a “metallic library” of inscribed plates—potentially chronicling ancient knowledge or extraterrestrial intervention—within Ecuador’s Cueva de los Tayos, a sprawling natural cave system in the Morona-Santiago province amid the eastern Andean foothills. These assertions tied into von Däniken’s broader ancient astronaut hypothesis, suggesting advanced civilizations received extraterrestrial aid, and the book’s bestseller status amplified global fascination with the Amazon’s subterranean mysteries.

The claims directly catalyzed the most ambitious investigation of the site: the 1976 Anglo-Ecuadorian expedition, orchestrated by Scottish civil engineer and explorer Stan Hall. Inspired by von Däniken’s account, Hall secured backing from the governments of Ecuador and the United Kingdom, assembling a formidable team of more than 100 members. This included speleologists, archaeologists, geologists, biologists, film crews, and logistical support from British and Ecuadorian military forces—joint special forces handled security, helicopter transport, and clearing landing zones in dense jungle terrain. The operation, one of the largest and costliest cave explorations ever mounted, transported 45 tons of equipment and provisions into remote wilderness. At its helm as Honorary President stood Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the Moon in 1969 during Apollo 11. Armstrong, who had retired from NASA but retained an insatiable curiosity for uncharted frontiers, accepted Hall’s invitation—partly due to shared Scottish ancestral ties (Hall hailed from Dollar, near Armstrong’s family roots in Clackmannanshire). Armstrong’s participation lent unparalleled credibility, drawing media attention and underscoring the expedition’s serious intent beyond mere sensationalism.

The mission unfolded amid challenging conditions: participants descended via vine ladders or ropes through vertiginous entrances, including a primary 213-foot (65-meter) vertical shaft leading to vast chambers—one measuring 295 by 787 feet—and passages extending at least 4-5 km (with more potentially unmapped). The team employed rigorous scientific protocols, mapping the karstic limestone-sandstone system, documenting unique ecology (such as colonies of oilbirds, whose eerie screams echoed through the darkness, alongside newly identified species of bats, butterflies, and beetles), and recovering archaeological evidence. Artifacts and human remains dated to approximately 3500 BCE confirmed ancient indigenous use, likely for rituals or shelter, while natural formations like the symmetrical “Moricz Portal” briefly mimicked artificial construction before geological analysis affirmed their natural origins.

Despite exhaustive searches—no metallic library, gold mounds, inscribed plates, or extraterrestrial artifacts emerged—the expedition yielded substantial value. It advanced speleological knowledge, cataloged biodiversity, and highlighted human historical engagement with the cave. Armstrong, ever the reserved engineer, participated actively in descents and surveys, reportedly expressing profound satisfaction with the endeavor. Accounts from expedition members and later reflections suggest he viewed the underground journey as comparable in exploratory thrill to his lunar experience—entering unknown territories, confronting isolation, and learning anew. One reported remark framed both as profound encounters with the uncharted: ascending to the Moon and descending into Earth’s depths represented complementary frontiers of human inquiry. Though Armstrong remained characteristically private, avoiding extensive public commentary, his involvement spoke to a lifelong pursuit of discovery beyond fame.

Armstrong’s post-Apollo life reflected this exploratory ethos, often intersecting with mysteries and anomalies that fueled speculation. While mainstream records show no verified extraterrestrial encounters during Apollo 11—claims of UFOs trailing the spacecraft or structures on the lunar surface stem from hoaxes (e.g., those propagated by science fiction writer Otto Binder) or misinterpretations (jettisoned panels matching the craft’s velocity)—persistent rumors have linked his reticence to unspoken observations. Some narratives suggest the lunar mission’s isolation, the stark desolation of the regolith, or fleeting visual phenomena (like transient flashes reported by astronauts across missions) left lasting impressions. Armstrong’s reclusive retirement—avoiding interviews, shunning celebrity, and focusing on teaching aeronautics—has been interpreted by some as evidence of deeper reflections on cosmic unknowns, though he consistently emphasized scientific rigor over speculation.

His Tayos participation fits this pattern: drawn to a site steeped in legend, he approached it methodically, prioritizing evidence over myth. The expedition’s “failure” to locate von Däniken’s treasures did not diminish its legacy; instead, it exemplified how adventurous inquiry, even when debunking exaggeration, advances knowledge. The Shuar people, traditional stewards of the region with historical warrior practices including headhunting and tsantsa creation, likely influenced outcomes—guiding teams to accessible areas while protecting sacred or sensitive zones, contributing to incomplete searches amid cultural secrecy and remote dangers (jungle hazards, cartel-adjacent violence in parts of the Amazon).

Contemporary tools like LiDAR continue to validate the potential for hidden layers in such landscapes. Recent surveys in Ecuador’s Upano Valley revealed extensive pre-Columbian networks—platforms, roads, and settlements dating to 500 BCE—buried beneath the canopy, reshaping views of Amazonian complexity. Parallel discoveries in Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil uncover engineered features that align with indigenous lore, suggesting that legends like Tayos may encode real, undiscovered elements. Adjacent caves or modifications near Tayos could await detection, as LiDAR penetrates vegetation and soil anomalies.

Later explorations, including Josh Gates’ 2018 Expedition Unknown revisit with Shuar collaboration, employed drones and scanning to expand mapped areas, uncovering more tools and ceramics, but no library. Ongoing efforts propose UNESCO recognition of the Tayos as a natural and cultural geosite.

Von Däniken’s work, though critiqued for embellishment, ignited healthy debate and mobilization. It parallels transformative finds like the Dead Sea Scrolls, which authenticated ancient texts yet revealed only fragments of broader histories. The Amazon’s emerging record—vast subterranean and surface engineering—hints at greater mysteries, accessible through funded, technology-driven research.

In an era of accelerating disclosure through remote sensing and interdisciplinary collaboration, such stories highlight the interplay between speculation and science. Questioning narratives, when grounded in boots-on-the-ground verification, propels understanding of shared planetary history—preparing humanity for future frontiers, from Earth’s depths to space.  But with all that said, I think the library is still out there, not unlike what von Däniken proposed in his original text.  There is a lot hidden, sometimes in plain sight.  And when you have headhunters as your guides, I don’t think enough people questioned their methods of direction.  And that they well know of other caves in the area still hidden, and under their protection. And that with just a little bit of looking, we’ll find it.  And a whole lot more.

The Kandahar Giant: Yes, I believe it was sent to Wright-Patterson for examination

The world has shifted profoundly over the past few years, and with that shift has come a renewed willingness to question long-held narratives. Institutions once trusted implicitly have been exposed as capable of extraordinary deception, particularly during the COVID era, where mandates were imposed with absolute certainty, only for the underlying premises to crumble under scrutiny. “Trust the science” became a slogan that masked agendas, gain-of-function research was downplayed despite evidence of its role, and entire economies were shuttered under the guise of public health. When authority figures lie so brazenly about something as immediate and verifiable as a virus’s origins and spread, it naturally prompts a reevaluation of other suppressed stories. What else have we been told was impossible, only to discover layers of concealment?

One such story that has resurfaced with renewed credibility in this post-COVID awakening is the Kandahar Giant. This account describes an alleged encounter in 2002 (though some retellings place it around 2005) in the remote mountains of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, during Operation Enduring Freedom. According to multiple anecdotal sources, a U.S. military patrol vanished without a trace. A special operations task force—often described as an elite unit such as the Rangers or the Green Berets—was dispatched to investigate. They followed a trail of scattered gear and spent casings leading to a large cave entrance littered with bones, human remains, and discarded equipment.

Emerging from the cave was a humanoid figure of extraordinary size—estimates range from 12 to 15 feet tall—with distinctive features: flaming red hair, six fingers on each hand, six toes on each foot, and double rows of teeth. Armed with a large spear, the being reportedly charged the soldiers, impaling and killing one (sometimes named “Dan” or linked to a real casualty like Sergeant Dan Romero in unrelated contexts, though unconfirmed). The team responded with sustained fire from M4 carbines, recon rifles, and Barrett .50 caliber anti-materiel weapons. It allegedly took 30 seconds of concentrated gunfire to fell the creature. The body was then airlifted via helicopter, possibly in a cargo net, and transported out of the theater.

The narrative gains intrigue from claims that the remains were not sent to the more publicized Area 51 but to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio—the historical hub of aviation innovation and a site long associated with classified reverse-engineering programs, including rumored extraterrestrial artifacts from incidents like Roswell. Wright-Patterson’s Foreign Technology Division and its secure facilities make it a logical destination for sensitive recoveries. Some versions include testimony from an alleged cargo pilot who loaded a 1,100- to 1,500-pound body onto a transport plane, bound for stateside analysis.

This story first gained traction in the mid-2000s through radio programs like Coast to Coast AM, hosted by figures such as Steve Quayle. It was later amplified by researchers like L.A. Marzulli, who conducted interviews with purported witnesses, including a figure known as “Mr. K” (claimed to be a participant) and others in military circles. Timothy Alberino, an explorer and author focused on biblical history and anomalous phenomena, has discussed the event extensively, linking it to ancient accounts of giants. Alberino contributed a foreword or introduction to a reissued edition of a book on giants and Nephilim—likely a work like Joseph Lumpkin’s “The Book of Giants: The Watchers, Nephilim, and The Book of Enoch” or a similar text that had been out of print—bringing renewed attention to these themes.

The Kandahar account aligns with broader patterns in folklore and scripture. The Bible repeatedly references giants: the Nephilim in Genesis 6:4, described as the offspring of the “sons of God” (often interpreted as fallen angels or Watchers) and human women, resulting in mighty beings of renown. Post-Flood accounts include the Anakim, Rephaim, and Goliath of Gath, who stood over nine feet tall. The Book of Enoch, an ancient text quoted in Jude and influential in early Jewish thought, details the Watchers’ rebellion, their mating with humans, and the resulting giants who devoured resources and turned to cannibalism, prompting divine judgment via the Flood.

Similar giant lore appears worldwide: Native American traditions speak of red-haired giants in Nevada’s Lovelock Cave; South American legends describe tall beings in remote regions; Siberian and Chinese folklore mentions oversized humanoids in isolated areas. In Afghanistan’s rugged terrain—vast, under-explored caves and mountains shielded by perpetual conflict—these stories persist in oral traditions. Wars in such places rarely resolve cleanly; prolonged instability keeps areas off-limits to independent research, much like communist-era restrictions in Siberia preserved vast untouched wildernesses.

Closer to home, Ohio’s ancient mound cultures offer parallels. The Miamisburg Mound, one of the largest conical burial mounds in North America (built by the Adena culture circa 1000–200 BC), has yielded reports of unusual finds. In the 1800s, excavations uncovered skeletons of “unusual size,” including oversized jaws and skulls that reportedly fit over modern ones like helmets. Newspapers from the era chronicled the discovery of 7- to 9-foot skeletons in Ohio mounds, often accompanied by artifacts suggesting advanced or anomalous origins. Yet systematic archaeological excavations have been minimal, despite the presence of nearby universities with robust programs. The Mound Laboratories (now part of the Mound Facility) were built nearby for nuclear trigger mechanisms—coincidentally or not—on sites with prior reports of giant bones. Some speculate that these placements obscure evidence, mirroring how dominant cultures have historically superimposed symbols or structures to erase predecessors, as seen on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

Why conceal such things? Power structures thrive on controlled narratives. Acknowledging surviving giants or pre-Flood advanced beings challenges evolutionary timelines, biblical interpretations, and institutional authority. If giants exist(ed), it implies hidden histories, perhaps genetic legacies in tall modern athletes or isolated populations. Governments, through black budgets and oaths of secrecy, maintain control—Wright-Patterson personnel swear lifelong confidentiality, and silence speaks volumes. My own conversations with retired military figures, including a colonel from Wright-Patterson, hint at legitimate reverse-engineering programs, fueling speculation that anomalous recoveries (whether tech or biological) end up there.

COVID eroded institutional trust irreversibly. When officials mandated masks and lockdowns while concealing lab-leak possibilities, the “conspiracy theorist” label lost potency. Those once dismissed as fringe on topics like gain-of-function or elite agendas proved prescient. The same mechanisms—discrediting inquiry, labeling skeptics dangerous—apply to giants, UFO disclosure, or ancient anomalies. Wars in Afghanistan, perpetual Middle Eastern tensions, or China’s opacity may keep regions unstable, preventing the exploration of caves or sites that hold truths about humanity’s past.

Giants aren’t mere fantasy; they’re embedded in cross-cultural records. Too much smoke suggests fire. The Kandahar incident, if true, represents a modern collision with ancient reality. The body allegedly taken to Wright-Patterson for study echoes Roswell patterns—distractions elsewhere while real work happens in secure Midwest facilities. Leaks increase as oaths age and consciences stir. Disclosure feels inevitable.

We stand at a threshold. Reexamining suppressed stories fosters truth-seeking over blind obedience. Whether giants roamed Afghanistan or Ohio mounds hold oversized remains, pursuing evidence of their existence honors intellectual honesty. Governments owe accountability; black budgets and secrecy breed abuse. As Reagan’s revolution emphasized liberty and transparency, let us initiate similar scrutiny today. The truth, however extraordinary, deserves rational discussion—no matter how it upends official narratives.

‘Disclosure Day’: Turning existential wonder into administrative leverage

What’s about to happen with Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day isn’t just another studio rollout with a cryptic Times Square billboard and a two-minute teaser—though we did get exactly that, complete with the line “All will be disclosed,” and a June 12, 2026 date tag splashed across NYC and LA ahead of Christmas week. It’s the once‑every‑generation moment when a master filmmaker steeped in UFO lore, biblical symbolism, and national mythology decides to shove the cultural conversation forward—and does it at a time when governments, newsrooms, and intelligence bureaucracies are finally admitting that “there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are.” 123

Spielberg’s teaser landed December 16, 2025: a brisk montage of unsettling phenomena, a TV meteorologist (Emily Blunt) breaking down on live air as her voice devolves into clicks, crop circles forming in real time, and a whistleblower (Josh O’Connor) promising “full disclosure… to the whole world… all at once.” Universal confirmed the title, Disclosure Day, along with the ensemble (Blunt, O’Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell) and the logline: “If you found out we weren’t alone… would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people.” David Koepp—Spielberg’s long-time screenwriter on Jurassic Park, The Lost World, War of the Worlds, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull—returns to script from the director’s original story, with a release set for June 12, 2026. John Williams is scoring. A billboard campaign seeded curiosity days earlier, then the first trailer attached to Avatar: Fire and Ash screenings sealed the hype. 4567

The trailer’s grammar is familiar to anyone who’s lived inside Spielberg’s extraterrestrial trilogy—Close Encounters, E.T., and War of the Worlds—but this time the tone leans somber, even unnerving. You see none of the aliens; you feel their pressure on the edges of ordinary life. A nun stares at a mind-melding rig, animals behave strangely, and a murmuring chorus asks an ancient question: “Why would God make such a vast universe, yet save it only for us?” It is science‑fiction by way of catechism: mystery first, optics later. The teaser dropped in front of a public already primed by years of official disclosures and denials, a news cycle that swings between ODNI reports and Navy cockpit videos, and a new nomenclature (UAP) designed to strip away decades of “little green men” baggage. Spielberg, who has long said he doesn’t believe we’re alone, didn’t invent this moment; he’s channeling it. 68

The studio press materials are sparse by design, but they do confirm the core: a global reveal of proof, a media-driven human response, and a cast positioned at the edge where faith, science, and politics collide. People magazine’s write-up underscores that this is Spielberg’s first feature since The Fabelmans and his return to UFO storytelling; ABC’s GMA packaging shows Blunt possessed mid-broadcast; Deadline’s industry note pins the date and positions the film as the summer’s existential event. That triangulation—trade outlet confirmation, mainstream broadcast amplification, and fandom analysis threads—is not just PR; it’s an index of appetite. Audiences want a serious, sober take on disclosure that neither laughs it off nor turns it into a carnival. Spielberg’s reputation lets him ask the question without collapsing beneath it. 9105

If you care about the politics under the hood, the timing is obvious. Since late 2017, when The New York Times broke the Pentagon videos and the existence of AATIP, we’ve had the UAP Task Force (approved August 2020), the ODNI Preliminary Assessment (June 25, 2021), and Congress’s 2022 NDAA creating AARO—the All‑Domain Anomaly Resolution Office—to centralize reporting, analysis, and public transparency. AARO’s first historical volume landed in February 2024, mapping U.S. government involvement since 1945 from Project SIGN to BLUE BOOK to CIA panels, and its public posture has been to release as much raw evidence as possible without harming partner equities. That’s not Hollywood; that’s bureaucracy. But bureaucracy has set the table. A movie like Disclosure Day rides the wave of official acronyms that admit the problem, even as it insists that most cases fit prosaic profiles (balloons, drones, birds). The serious work of weeding out errors and hoaxes did not kill the subject; it made “we don’t know” socially respectable again. 11121314

The CIA files are another background hum. Far from confirming crash retrievals, the agency’s publicly accessible “UFOs: Fact or Fiction?” collection compiles cables, memos, and summary press clippings from the 1940s through the early 1990s—an archive of seriousness, not sensationalism. The Black Vault digitizations and Smithsonian coverage in 2021 made those documents easier to browse and fueled a sense that, while much is mundane, some fraction remains unexplained due to data gaps. Add the National Archives’ UAP Records Collection created in 2024 NDAA, and government-kept paper trails are no longer a subculture hobby; they are an official research topic. When a storyteller with Spielberg’s credibility references “disclosure,” he isn’t inventing a bureaucracy. He is meeting it. 151617

Then there’s the other engine of disclosure: the perennially curious political operative, John Podesta. From his 2011 foreword to Leslie Kean’s book to tweeting in 2015 that his biggest White House failure was not securing UFO disclosure, Podesta has been the Beltway’s most persistent, mainstream voice for transparency. The Wikileaks dump of his emails in 2016 crystallized that curiosity with exchanges involving Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell (who referenced “nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe,” however eccentric that reads) and Tom DeLonge’s outreach framing UAP as a national security priority; Mother Jones later documented how Podesta nudged campaign messaging toward tongue‑in‑cheek “the truth is out there” lines. The Obama Presidential Library has FOIA material showing internal attention to Podesta’s public remarks about UAPs. Whatever you think of the personalities and their metaphysics, it’s undeniable that “disclosure” stopped being fringe and stepped into official statements years ago. The Clintons flirted with promises; Democrats like Podesta kept the word alive; and the media stopped rolling its eyes. That’s the ecology in which a Spielberg film lands. 18192021

On television, Barack Obama’s May 2021 appearance with James Corden registered as a cultural permission slip: “There is footage and records… we don’t know exactly what they are,” he said, adding that we can’t explain their trajectories and that serious people are investigating. Again, no crash retrievals, no bodies; just dignified uncertainty framed as worth study. That single clip circulated across NBC, CNN, and the Independent with the same headline and sentence, making it resistant to partisan spin. It’s impossible to overstate how statements like this alter the audience for a film like Disclosure Day. You no longer need to sell the premise that a government might know things and might release them. You need to tell the human story of what it feels like when that knowledge crosses the threshold of proof. 32223

This is why I argued for months that the Disclosure Day campaign would not be merely cinematic. The teaser’s choices—biblical language, moral stakes, a chorus of “people have a right to know the truth… it belongs to seven billion people”—give you a tell. Spielberg is staging the post-disclosure psychology: trust breakdowns, religious reinterpretations, the questionable allure of a technocratic “we’ll manage it for you” state, and the tempting promise that a new cosmic threat will unify otherwise warring factions. That promise, by the way, is precisely the sort of political device elites would wield in a crisis: when ordinary collectivist appeals fail, fear works. The left in America—from John Podesta’s transparency drumbeat to West Coast cultural power—understands the unifying leverage of a “we are not alone” narrative. Positioning Democrats as the “party of disclosure,” through Hollywood’s megaphone, is as plausible as it is cynical, precisely because the public appetite for answers is now bipartisan. Skeptics and believers alike want competence. Whether Disclosure Day’s marketing was hatched over party cocktails is less important than the fact that the messaging aligns: all will be disclosed, the government has a role, and trust us—this time. 6

A Trump administration brings a different set of instincts to the table. He has publicly styled himself a UFO skeptic—“It’s never been my thing,” he told Joe Rogan in October 2024—but his Pentagon rode the arc of UAP openness: UAPTF, ODNI assessments, and the founding of AARO came out of a bipartisan legislative environment and continued under his second term’s defense establishment. ABC’s June 2025 segment with AARO’s director described hundreds of cases reviewed, most resolved, “several dozen” still anomalous, and an explicit effort to release more raw videos after automated redaction. You don’t need a sci-fi president for disclosure to advance; you need a bureaucracy with political air cover and a media willing to treat UAP like air safety and national security. That is present. If Trump wants to preempt a Hollywood-driven “party of disclosure” narrative, he can do it by ordering wider releases, allowing fuller congressional briefings, and framing disclosure as competence, not mysticism. The danger is letting the reveal be defined by fandom and fear; the opportunity is to take ownership as the administration that finished the job begun by ODNI and NDAA. 14

What happens after people realize what disclosure means? I’ve been writing The Politics of Heaven to answer that: to guide the post-disclosure world in a way that protects faith, families, and local governance while absorbing the shock of metaphysical and material claims. Whether you believe in ultra-terrestrials, interdimensional entities, or straightforward extraterrestrials, the questions that follow are the same: What is consciousness, and how does it persist beyond bodies? How do these intelligences intersect with biblical prohibitions, demonic lore, reincarnation motifs, and avatar theories? Who should arbitrate contracts—governments, churches, scientists, or communities? And when trust in institutions is already brittle, how do you stop a frightened public from begging Leviathan to manage their fear? That last question is the political acid test; you will see the left bid to occupy the role of compassionate intermediary. You will also see conservatives argue for decentralization and personal responsibility in the face of cosmic news. Neither side is ready for the metaphysical repositioning disclosure demands. A movie can start the dialogue; a book needs to map the terrain. 6

Some insist Spielberg’s film is simply entertainment, not a node in the broader campaign. I don’t buy that. The speed with which the project moved—kept under wraps, then billboards, then a title and trailer in mid-December, releasing the teaser in front of Cameron’s new Avatar—shows a marketing intelligence calibrated for maximum cultural reach. Hollywood trades (Deadline, Hollywood Reporter, IGN) treat the teaser as a significant event; mainstream outlets (USA Today, ABC, People) amplify with a civic tone rather than tabloid noise. Even the genre press (Polygon, Space.com, GoldDerby) notes the film’s “not like E.T.” mood. None of this is accidental. It sets June 12 as a summer opening thought experiment and primes your mind to connect the dots between the content and the headlines. 5642

Will Disclosure Day be statistically consequential? Not the film itself, obviously, but the ecosystem it feeds is full of numbers worth tracking. ODNI’s 2021 preliminary assessment summarized 144 incidents, with the majority lacking sufficient data—a sober reminder that proof is hard to obtain. AARO’s public briefings and annual reports count hundreds of new submissions, with most resolved. If, ahead of June 12, DOD authorizes another tranche of imagery with automated redactions, the viewership and downstream social metrics—shares, searches, FOIA requests—will spike. Smithsonian tracked thousands of downloads within 24 hours when the Black Vault made CIA UFO documents searchable; VICE documented how hard it was to make those files usable. “Disclosure” is not one event; it is a flow of documents, videos, and structured briefings that accumulate like sediment. Spielberg’s film is a catalytic object in that flow. 122416

Cynics will argue that Hollywood elites are exploiting grief and curiosity. The Rob Reiner tragedy—the director and his wife stabbed to death, their son arrested, with reports that they were headed to an engagement with Barack Obama the same night—has nothing to do with disclosure, yet it illustrates how quickly elite social circles blur into political networks and media narratives. When people claim “this plan was hatched at parties,” they’re not entirely wrong about cultural clustering; they’re bad to infer an omnipotent conspiracy behind every rollout. Information travels through overlapping circles, and films like Disclosure Day live in those circles. The politics is real; the paranoia needn’t be. 2526

If you’re looking for the “interdimensional hypothesis” within Spielberg’s cinematic tradition, Jacques Vallée’s work is the obvious touchstone: UFOs as manifestations at the seams of reality, trickster-like phenomena that feel spiritual as much as technological. Disclosure Day’s teaser seems to flirt with that—not by name, but by making the human body the first receiver. A weather forecast becomes glossolalia; a nun becomes an antenna. It doesn’t matter whether the story lands on ET or ultra‑T; what matters is that the film recognizes that the primary battlefield is consciousness, not hardware. In that sense, Spielberg’s new movie may be his boldest: less “spaceship lands” and more “the mind cracks.” 6

So how should a president handle disclosure in the shadow of Spielberg? Don’t surrender the frame. If it’s Trump, publish what AARO can safely release, demonstrate chain‑of‑custody, and invite independent scientific review, not just classified briefings. Anchor the message in air safety, national security, and scientific humility. Avoid promising a “blue wave of unity” around fear; call for calm competence. And for the rest of us—families, pastors, scientists, local officials—prepare the language for what faith traditions already admit: there are powers and principalities beyond our ken, and discernment is a discipline, not a tweet. The task is not to panic or to hand your agency to distant institutions; it is to keep your soul intact while you learn new facts about the cosmos. Spielberg’s teaser asks the right question: Would proof frighten you? It will. But fear need not decide your politics or your religion. The truth belongs to seven billion people because freedom inspires it. 5

What I expect next: more billboards, a second trailer around Easter, almost certainly tie-ins that echo Arrival’s semiotic puzzles and Signs’ domestic dread—though the production notes suggest Spielberg is avoiding clones of those films and choosing a wider, global lens. Expect chatter about whether Disclosure Day lives in the Close Encounters universe; Koepp refused to confirm or deny. Expect breathless “is this real disclosure?” threads online and new FOIA campaigns piggybacking on the film’s marketing. Expect claims that Democrats will harness the momentum for the 2026 midterms, and counterclaims from the right that they’re weaponizing wonder for votes. Most of all, expect the usual: elites overpromising unity while ordinary people look for ways to protect their families and livelihoods. In that sense, Disclosure Day is not just a movie; it is a rehearsal. 6

The day after the teaser, outlets like Polygon, Parade, Dexerto, and Cinemablend rolled out explainer pieces with production stills, cast bios, and historical callbacks to Spielberg’s UFO filmography. Yahoo’s Space vertical contextualized the director’s lifelong fascination with meteors and Firelight. GoldDerby and IndieWire talked up the billboards as a clever marketing stroke. IGN emphasized the theological line. The coverage reads like a consensus: Spielberg is back in the UFO seat, and this one is bigger and darker. It makes sense to be excited—and it makes even more sense to be prepared for what happens after the lights come up and the credits roll. The film will end; the conversation won’t. 72728298304

Because disclosure, whatever shape it takes, will force every institution to tell the truth about its own limits. Intelligence agencies will confess how much of the archive is press clippings and hearsay; AARO will say how many reports are balloons and birds. Churches will revisit glossolalia and demons with new humility. Universities will expand consciousness studies beyond an evolutionary footnote. And Hollywood—which conditioned us to believe in aliens—will confess that it cannot resolve what theologians and physicists must debate. If the truth belongs to seven billion people, then seven billion people must learn how to live with it. Spielberg can start the conversation; your community must finish it.  And here’s something to think about: there are 8.26 billion people in the world.  Why are they saying “seven”? Are there a billion of those life forms that are not actually human?  But are avatars from an interdimensional realm taking residence in a biological vehicle so that they can interact with the events of our time?  Likely, that’s the point of the trailer: to spawn that kind of massive discussion with ground-shattering implications.

And here’s the hard counsel nobody wants to give: do not let disclosure be your gateway drug to technocratic control. The instinct to panic and hand the reins to whoever promises a plan is the oldest political seduction in the book. The left will speak the language of compassion and unity; the right will talk about the language of sovereignty and order. Both will be tempted to use the unknown to centralize power. Resist the temptation. Disclose widely, validate rigorously, and keep authority as close to the citizen as possible. The truth is large enough to hold your fear without outsourcing your dignity. Spielberg’s teaser got one thing perfectly correct: the truth belongs to seven billion people. The question is whether seven billion people will remember that their consciousness has a power the universe wants, and that they control their own fate much more than they ever thought possible. 5

Executive Summary: The Politics of Heaven and the Post-Disclosure Era

Now, let’s talk about The Politics of Heaven and why now, and why I am putting so much into it.  The project was conceived before, and then written alongside, the production of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day (teaser released December 16, 2025; U.S. theatrical set for June 12, 2026). It argues that (1) the public now lives in an environment of information abundance that is overturning religious, political, and scientific commonplaces; (2) a major cultural catalyst like Disclosure Day will force those assumptions into the open; and (3) the immediate need is a deep, rigorous, post‑disclosure framework—political, theological, and philosophical—beyond what a two‑hour film and follow‑on documentaries can provide. 12

The inflection point: information abundance and challenged assumptions.

Over the last decade, the combination of official UAP releases, FOIA archives, and mainstream acknowledgment has made “serious uncertainty” socially acceptable again. The CIA’s digitized UFO/UAP collections, the National Archives’ new UAP Records Collection (created by the 2024 NDAA), and ODNI/AARO reporting transformed curiosity into a public research agenda; that scaffolding existed before the Disclosure Day teaser, and it contextualizes it now. 34

• ODNI’s Preliminary Assessment (June 25, 2021) made pilot safety and national security the frame, not fringe;

• AARO (established by Congress in 2022) now issues historical reviews and annual updates that resolve most cases but leave several dozen anomalous, while investing in tools to release more raw evidence safely;

• Former President Barack Obama (May 18, 2021) explicitly affirmed that there is “footage and records of objects we don’t know exactly what they are.” 5678

From surface anthropology to deep comparative inquiry.

Classic comparative frameworks (e.g., James Frazer’s The Golden Bough and the early anthropology of religion) were built when information moved slowly, and travelers could “look at the surface and pick up artifacts.” A century of archaeology, psychology, and comparative religious study has since exposed layers those pioneers couldn’t observe, demanding more careful models of consciousness, symbol, and ritual. Today’s public can test those models instantly against real archives and sensor data; a global dialogue that once took lifetimes now unfolds in hours. 4

Consciousness, privacy, and the interdimensional debate.

The popularization of parallel‑worlds and entanglement-style ideas—sometimes via high-concept entertainment, sometimes via speculative science—has normalized conversations about nonlocal effects and mind–matter enigmas. Spielberg’s teaser leans into that terrain without naming it: the human body first, the revelation second. A possessed weather broadcast, mirrored actions, and religious imagery (“Why would He make such a vast universe…”) signal that the primary battlefield of disclosure is consciousness, not craft. That, in turn, reopens classical debates (angelic, demonic, ultra‑terrestrial) in a modern register. 92

Ideological frames that will compete to “own” disclosure.

• A left‑liberal/naturalist reading (which you argue Spielberg’s film may amplify) treats disclosure as an invitation to submit to nature’s deeper, animating order—often expressed in syncretic terms (Native cosmologies, Eastern metaphysics, ecological spirituality). The pitch: disclosure unifies, softens borders, and mandates communal management of anxiety. 2

• A conservative/sovereignty reading insists Genesis grants stewardship—“rule over nature” through ordered freedom—and worries that fear will be instrumentalized to expand central authority. The pitch: disclose widely, validate rigorously, do not trade agency for technocratic management.

• The state (irrespective of party) will tend to present itself as the trusted intermediary—a reflex strengthened by AARO’s mandate and ODNI’s safety language. The risk: turning existential wonder into administrative leverage. 56

Why The Politics of Heaven.

I started this book before Disclosure Day took shape because the collision I outline was inevitable: unprecedented access to information + mainstream validation + public mythologies = paradigm pressure. The book asks:

• What are the politics among non-human intelligences (altered terrestrials, angels/fallen angels, rebels against the Creator)?

• How do those politics interact with human sovereignty, law, worship, and culture?

• What happens when a society learns it is not alone, possibly not even alone in its locked bedrooms—and discovers that manipulation has been continuous across history?

• How do we protect families and faith while absorbing complex data about mind, matter, and presence?

The limits of cinema; the need for rigorous guidance.

A feature film can ignite the conversation; it cannot furnish the multi-level study (political theory, comparative religion, metaphysics, law, ethics, and security) that people will demand after the credits roll. Given the sudden spike in public legitimacy—from billboards announcing “All will be disclosed” to a trailer in front of Avatar—I anticipate a wave of documentaries and explainer shows. This book aims to be the serious handbook readers turn to when they realize the topic touches on Genesis and governance, not only on spectacle. 1011

Key Claims (with source pointers)

• Disclosure Day is confirmed as Spielberg’s UFO event film; title, cast, teaser, and June 12, 2026, release date are official. 12

• Mainstream outlets framed the teaser as a return to existential UFO themes, emphasizing the trailer’s religious, psychological, and global stakes. 1213

• Official U.S. channels (ODNI, AARO) shifted discourse by legitimizing UAPs as safety and security concerns; AARO continues a controlled transparency program. 56

• Archives (CIA FOIA; NARA’s UAP collection) broaden public access and keep post-disclosure inquiry tethered to documents, not rumor. 34

• Obama’s 2021 remarks normalized high-level acknowledgement: “footage and records” exist of objects whose behavior resists easy explanation. 8

What Readers Should Expect (and Why the Book Matters)

1. A surge of myth-making and fear-based politics.

Parties and media will compete to “frame” disclosure as either communal healing or controlled competence. Your guidance: disclose widely, decentralize interpretation, protect sovereignty. 5

2. Religious re‑reading under pressure.

Expect new homiletic and doctrinal work on angels/demons, possession, discernment, and cosmology. Provide guidance: restore biblical guardrails, engage comparative traditions seriously, and reject sentimental syncretism.

3. Law, security, and ethics.

Air safety, sensor policy, and data custodianship will dominate hearings; civil liberty questions (privacy, mind–machine interfaces, and conscience) will follow. Your guidance: keep civil protections strong, resist “emergency powers creep.”

4. Consciousness first, technology second.

The teaser’s grammar—and much of the historical record—suggest the human mind is the first theater. Your guidance: form communities of discernment, not fandoms of panic. 9

UFO Disclosure: Historical Context, Cultural Impact, and the Interdimensional Reality

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), now officially termed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), have transitioned from fringe speculation to mainstream discourse in recent years. The concept of UFO disclosure refers to the systematic release of information by governments, military agencies, and credible institutions regarding unexplained aerial phenomena. This shift has profound implications for science, security, and culture. While the notion of extraterrestrial visitation has long captivated the public imagination, recent developments—including congressional hearings, Pentagon reports, and high-profile media coverage—suggest that the phenomenon warrants serious consideration beyond conspiracy theories. The question is no longer whether UFOs exist, but what they represent and how society should respond to their disclosure.

Historically, UFO sightings surged in the mid-20th century, coinciding with technological advancements and geopolitical tensions during the Cold War. The Roswell incident of 1947, often cited as the genesis of modern UFO lore, sparked widespread speculation about crashed alien spacecraft and government cover-ups. In response, the U.S. Air Force launched Project Sign in 1947, followed by Project Grudge in 1949, and ultimately Project Blue Book in 1952. Project Blue Book became the most extensive government program investigating UFOs, collecting over 12,000 reports before its termination in 1969. While most cases were attributed to natural phenomena or misidentified aircraft, 701 remained unexplained (Britannica, 2025; Wikipedia, 2025). The official stance concluded that UFOs posed no threat to national security and lacked evidence of extraterrestrial origin. However, critics argue that the Condon Report, which justified the program’s closure, reflected institutional bias rather than scientific rigor (History.com, 2025). These early investigations established a pattern of secrecy and skepticism that shaped public perception for decades.

The modern era of disclosure began in 2017 when The New York Times revealed the existence of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). This revelation, coupled with the release of declassified Navy videos depicting objects with extraordinary flight characteristics, reignited global interest. Subsequent reports by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of Defense’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) have documented hundreds of UAP incidents, some defying conventional explanations (ODNI, 2023; DoD, 2024). The 2024 consolidated report noted that while many sightings were attributable to balloons or drones, a subset exhibited anomalous behavior, including transmedium travel and acceleration beyond known propulsion systems (DoD, 2024). Congressional hearings featuring whistleblowers such as David Grusch further intensified the debate, with claims of crash retrieval programs and non-human biologics entering the public record. Although these assertions remain controversial, they underscore a growing consensus that UAPs merit scientific investigation rather than dismissal.

Media figures have played a pivotal role in amplifying the disclosure narrative. Tucker Carlson, once reticent on the subject, has devoted extensive coverage to UAPs, interviewing lawmakers like Rep. Tim Burchett and discussing classified briefings that suggest underwater UFOs—so-called USOs—capable of moving at 200 mph in ocean trenches (Carlson Interview, 2025). Carlson has hinted at a “spiritual component” to the phenomenon, describing aspects so disturbing that he hesitates to share them publicly (Newsweek, 2023). Similarly, Megyn Kelly has hosted discussions with historian Victor Davis Hanson and former intelligence officials, exploring claims of reverse-engineered alien technology and the cultural ramifications of disclosure (Kelly Show, 2025). Joe Rogan’s podcast has featured prominent voices such as Bob Lazar, Jacques Vallée, and David Grusch, delving into theories ranging from extraterrestrial visitation to simulation hypotheses (JRE Library, 2025). These platforms have not only normalized UFO discourse but also framed it within broader philosophical and scientific contexts, challenging audiences to reconsider humanity’s place in the cosmos.

The cultural impact of UFO disclosure extends beyond media sensationalism. It intersects with epistemology, theology, and sociology, raising questions about authority, trust, and existential meaning. Historically, UFO narratives have mirrored societal anxieties—from Cold War fears of Soviet technological superiority to contemporary concerns about government transparency. Today, disclosure challenges entrenched paradigms, compelling institutions to reconcile empirical anomalies with scientific orthodoxy. Popular culture, from Hollywood films to streaming documentaries like The Age of Disclosure, reflects this tension, oscillating between skepticism and wonder. As anthropologist Diana Walsh Pasulka observes, UFOs function as “technological angels,” embodying both scientific mystery and spiritual symbolism (Pasulka, 2019). This duality explains why disclosure evokes not only curiosity but also apprehension, as it destabilizes ontological certainties that underpin modern civilization.

Speculative theories about UAP origins further complicate the discourse. The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), positing that UFOs are spacecraft from other planets, remains the most popular explanation. However, the interdimensional hypothesis (IDH) has gained traction among scholars and ufologists. Pioneered by thinkers like J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallée, IDH suggests that UAPs may originate from parallel realities or higher dimensions, exploiting quantum anomalies to traverse spacetime (Patheos, 2024; Vallée, 1975). Contemporary research in quantum physics and multiverse theory lends conceptual plausibility to this idea, even if empirical validation remains elusive. Tim Lomas (2023) argues for “epistemic humility” in evaluating such hypotheses, noting that UAP behavior—such as instantaneous acceleration and materialization—defies classical physics and may indicate non-local phenomena (Lomas, 2023). If true, the implications are staggering: reality may be far more complex than the materialist paradigm assumes, encompassing layers of existence beyond human perception. This perspective resonates with ultraterrestrial models proposed by physicist Harold Puthoff, which entertain scenarios involving time travelers, ancient civilizations, or entities operating outside conventional spacetime (Journal of Cosmology, 2024).

The philosophical and theological ramifications of these theories are profound. If UAPs represent interdimensional intelligences, traditional dichotomies between science and spirituality collapse, inviting a synthesis of metaphysics and empirical inquiry. Such a paradigm shift could redefine humanity’s understanding of consciousness, agency, and destiny. It may also catalyze ethical debates about contact protocols, planetary stewardship, and the moral status of non-human intelligences. As Vallée cautions, disclosure is not merely a scientific event but a cultural transformation with unpredictable consequences for religion, governance, and social cohesion. Governments have reportedly convened think tanks to assess these impacts, with some concluding that full disclosure could destabilize global institutions—a rationale often cited for continued secrecy (NewsNation, 2025). Whether this paternalism is justified remains contentious, but it underscores the gravity of the issue.

UFO disclosure represents a watershed moment in human history, challenging epistemic boundaries and cultural norms. From the secrecy of Project Blue Book to the transparency of ODNI reports, the trajectory of UAP discourse reflects a gradual shift from ridicule to legitimacy. Media figures like Carlson, Kelly, and Rogan have accelerated this transition, framing UFOs as both scientific enigmas and philosophical provocations. While the extraterrestrial hypothesis dominates popular imagination, interdimensional models invite deeper reflection on the nature of reality and consciousness. Ultimately, disclosure is not an end but a beginning—a call to expand our intellectual horizons and prepare for a future where the unknown becomes knowable. Whether humanity meets this challenge with wisdom or hubris will determine the contours of the next great chapter in our cosmic story.

UFO disclosure has evolved from Cold War secrecy under Project Blue Book to contemporary transparency through ODNI and AARO reports. Media figures such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Joe Rogan have mainstreamed the debate, while documentaries like The Age of Disclosure amplify claims of crash retrieval programs and non-human biologics. Beyond empirical anomalies, disclosure raises cultural, philosophical, and theological questions, challenging materialist assumptions and inviting consideration of interdimensional hypotheses. Whether UAPs are extraterrestrial, ultraterrestrial, or manifestations of higher-dimensional realities, their study demands epistemic humility and interdisciplinary inquiry. Disclosure is not merely about UFOs—it is about redefining humanity’s place in a universe that is likely far stranger than imagined.

Anna Paulina Luna and Her Interdimensional Beings: Understanding the politcs of creatures beyond time and space

I think it’s time to discuss the politics of interdimensional beings and their impact on our terrestrial existence.  And she’s certainly not a whack job, U.S. Representative from Florida, Anna Paulina Luna, who recently appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and discussed interdimensional beings that can operate through the time and spaces that we currently have.  Moving outside of time and space, and she said all this based on classified photos, documents, and witness testimonies she reviewed as a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which investigates Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).  Those witness testimonies include Air Force pilots who reported phenomena defying current physics, suggesting the presence of non-human technology.  Anna Paulina Luna is interested in a wide range of subjects and is very logical.  As a U.S. Air Force airfield management specialist, she had posed for Maxim as a Hometown Hottie and was a semi-finalist for Fort Walton Beach, Florida.  And now, as a member of Congress, she is always interested in several topics on which she has opinions.  What she isn’t is a tin-hatted conspiracy theorist.  It was pretty remarkable that she would go on to one of the most popular podcasts in the world and talk about the impact interdimensional beings have on our existence as a person who has observed vast amounts of evidence pointing in that direction.  And it’s interesting timing, because recently Tucker Carlson, a reporter whom many people find credible,  He’s not a crazy lunatic.  However, he has recently stated, just a few weeks before Anna Paulina Luna made her comments, that he believes supernatural forces are controlling many members of our government, who are deeply invested in appeasing those forces for various reasons.  And he has reached a point where he no longer wants to know any more.  There is too much evidence pointing in that direction and the ramifications of that possibility are overwhelmingly ominous.  These kinds of stories are also why I am working on a new book called The Politics of Heaven.  These forces have always been with us, and we need to understand their motivations and political ambitions from their perspective to understand the impact they have on our lives. 

One of the best things I have done for myself was to go to the Mothman Museum with my family in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, this year.  That is an exciting place where people are starting to put together all the pieces, and as intelligent creatures ourselves, we want to understand these interdimensional characters.  We discuss them in many of our religions.  I can report from personal experience how Japan goes to extraordinary measures to appease the creatures it calls the kami.  In Islam, it’s gin.  In Christianity, we refer to them as demons, angels, and gods.  However, their movement has been chronicled over vast amounts of time, and sacrifices to them have been made from temples as long as time has been recorded, to appease them.  When you visit the Mothman Museum, you gain a unique insight into the mystery of one of the most significant events in which a Mothman-like creature terrorized the town during the 1960s, ultimately leading to a catastrophic outcome.  Wrestling with this mystery has become a pastime for many people, and the work of the reporter and writer John Keel, who has since passed away, has involved earnest investigation into these topics. The museum reflects that effort.  I love to read John Keel books, which ask more questions than they answer, but the trend points toward a lot of smoke coming from a raging interdimensional fire that is very interested in our lives from their perspective of wants and needs. 

However, my experience with these kinds of things doesn’t lead me to believe that any of them are more intelligent than we are.  Just because they can operate outside our dimensional space does not mean they have developed an intellect superior to our own.  I think the Bible addresses this issue very effectively in Ephesians 6:12, and that the phrase and contemplations accurately describe the problem.  Just because something has better technology, or that they seem older, or operate in dimensional space beyond our four dimensions, that doesn’t make them smarter than we are.  From my own experience, I think of them more as animals with technology, and not very wise.  If we think of time as just one dimension, what is it to them to operate in the 5th dimension, or the 11th?  Time is just a unit of measure that is different relative to the relation gravity has on it.  Time dilation is common when dealing with elements in space, so time is not the same; it’s relative to where it is experienced.  And that could easily be the case with the interdimensional beings Anna Paulina Luna is talking about, or the appeasement of big government types to supernatural entities that they seek to placate through sacrifice and ritual, which is as old as time itself.  Eternity as we think of it would exist outside of the measurement of time, and may be more real than just a hopeful idea.  And with that in mind, we have to deal with the part of ourselves that is connected to eternity, and not the limited measurements of our dimensional space.  We should not assume that reality is all that we can see, but instead that it is determined by the behaviors we observe and how much of that is a result of the world we live in, or from a world that is not in our dimensional reality but only interacts with us as a sliver of that impasse, such as the flatland metaphors used to describe the life of a 2-dimensional being witnessing a 3-dimensional being. 

But we are not as helpless as we have been led to believe.  I don’t question why Anna Paulina Luna is discussing this topic now, as are Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan, along with many others.  Or why there is even a Mothman Museum that people can visit and think about these mysteries.  Or why right now there are Harvard scientists who are claiming we are going to be attacked by aliens from another planet in November of 2025.  I believe all of these sources.  But considering the motivations of these interdimensional beings, what is it about this time in the human race that has timeless beings so concerned?  Why now?  Because it is evident that the story is spiraling out of control very quickly, our ability to discuss this topic freely on the open internet for the first time in history has a purposeful political element that has a payoff beyond our measure of time and space.  And understanding that is something we should endeavor to embrace.  We’re not debating whether Anna Paulina Luna is correct in her observations, based on testimony that suggests the existence of interdimensional beings.  Our need to know is what they intend and how their political needs compete with our own.  Just because we are a four-dimensional being, should we assume that they are superior because they live in higher dimensions?  Or are they dumber than we are, and need to feed off our lives for their very sustenance.  Which is what I am inclined to believe.  These are the questions that matter, and, interestingly, we are discussing these topics now as the world is shifting in a populist direction.  I would say that, as Tucker Carlson pointed out, the temptation for governments worldwide to engage in supernatural worship is to appease those unseen forces in all kinds of diabolical ways.  And that much of our misery on earth and during our lifetimes is self-inflicted to appease those forces.  But is that necessary?  And, or, should we turn those tables, and perhaps have, which is why all the desperation now?  I think perhaps so.  And as we untangle all this, I think there are a lot of opportunities that have previously been concealed.  And I’m looking forward to the results.  In a political fight with these interdimensional forces, I think we can win the great elections of cosmic concern.

Aliens Attacking Earth in November: Why the Epstein story is suddenly hot

It’s been all over the news, but what are we supposed to think about it?  Harvard astrophysicists Avi Loeb and Adam Hibberd, along with Adam Crawl from the Initiative for Interstellar Studies in London, hypothesized that an interstellar object, 31/ATLAS, recently discovered on July 1, 2025, was an alien spacecraft due to its unusual trajectory and speed.  And that they were coming to attack Earth in November.  Coming from any kind of source, that was a surprising story, and it has certainly soaked up the news cycle.  But I wouldn’t worry about it very much.  To all those who are concerned, I would bet that the likelihood of the visit isn’t conquest or aggression, but rather a ballot drop of mail-in ballots for Democrats ahead of the next election.  Since Trump has pushed illegal immigration back and is deporting so many of them, Democrats need new voters.  So whether it’s illegal aliens or aliens from outer space, Democrats can’t win elections if they don’t cheat.  And in the case of this story, I’d say it was created by Democrats looking to preserve Democrat ideas about the way the world should work.  And its timing does not surprise me. Instead, it’s expected.  There are a lot of people in the world who consistently turn to alien stories when they want to scare the public into some sort of government expansion argument, and there are desperate people at every level of society who want to stop the Trump agenda.  And I would not doubt it if aliens are one of them.  If these guys think this is an alien ship, it’s not the first time they have visited Earth.  And it certainly won’t be the last.  But to assume that this is an alien attack like the ID4 movie, or some catastrophe film like War of the Worlds, is a yearning for the politics of old to avoid being washed away by the new. 

And this brings up another issue that certainly involves the Deep State and its desperation to hold power and control.  We are going to see a lot of strange things over the coming months and years, so we’ll have to use a lot of rationality to get through it.  There are many crackpots and losers like these Harvard physicists who often make such claims, but why did this one, which was posted on the arXiv preprint server as a non-peer-reviewed paper, gain public attention on July 16th 2025?  That’s when you have to ask yourself why this story, as ridiculous as it is, suddenly had legs and made it into the established news cycle.  Well, it’s for the same reason that the Epstein list is suddenly hot.  The way our intelligence departments work, who are trying to hold onto power, use fear of the unknown all the time to justify their continued secretive work without any budget accountability.  And they are trying to maintain control during a very bullish Trump administration, where many things are changing in ways they don’t like.  I think they always had this poison pill story to unleash on the public regarding Trump, because they saw how he paused a bit when Elon Musk suggested that the Epstein list wasn’t released because Trump was on it.  Truly, if anybody had any dirt on Trump at all, they would have used it far before now.  But if intelligence agencies can split up the MAGA party against Trump in some way, they are certainly going to try.  So fear and ambiguity are their weapons of choice, and undermining people’s confidence in people who are a threat to Deep State control over all of humanity through administrative bureaucracy is their means to do so.

There has suddenly been shown footage of Trump judging beauty pageants of very young girls, and they are trying to tie that to a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the Lolita Express trips to sexual escapades with young women.  And Trump did indeed know Epstein, and he did live a playboy life for a time.  Young women are often a part of beauty because attractiveness is fleeting, and if we are going to discuss beautiful women, young women are certainly part of the conversation.  However, Trump did own the Miss Universe pageant, which included Miss Teen USA, and he was very active in managing the operation.  For Trump, it was more of an aesthetic appreciation of beauty, the way people judge high school cheerleading competitions, rather than the kind of illicit sexual practices that it looks like Jeffrey Epstein was a part of.  So, with Trump on the list, there are likely many people who were part of high society who were also.  But that doesn’t mean all of them were falling for the temptations of illicit sex for blackmail that Epstein was trafficking, likely for the same intelligence agencies who let out this recent story about the aliens attacking Earth.  The goal isn’t the truth, but instead starting rumors that might instigate discontent and undermine unity among peers.  And the hope has been for a while that if these intelligence agencies could use some of this old footage of Trump to create a lack of trust, they’d do it.  So, of course, they will try.  But if there were any there to the story, they would have used it long before now.  Liking beautiful women, who are typically young, isn’t the same as sexually abusing them and having that information used by intelligence agencies to control influential personalities for fear of those stories getting out.

In all likelihood, alien intelligence has constantly been communicating with human beings from the beginning of time.  And I would argue that modern-day America has all the power in the world, politically, to destroy the society of any attacking aliens.  I do not think, as H.G. Wells did, that a sophisticated society of high technology could beat us all in war, only to die of convenience of disease upon contact with human beings and lacking an immune system to fight off diseases that are earth-born.  And more so, alien communication likely occurs all the time through multidimensional considerations, as many shamans throughout the world have been doing for many thousands of years.  So, a couple of Harvard geeks trying to apply their favorite science fiction movie to their anxiety over government funding for their projects being cut, with Trump in the White House, doesn’t mean they understand the nature of conflict with alien societies.  That they would spin it to fit their worldview, likely shaped by science fiction movies and video games.  However, the intelligence groups that leaked the story to the public are another matter.  It’s the same strategy that has suddenly made the Epstein story hot, while it was very cool all through the Biden years.  Why is it a story six months into Trump’s wildly successful second term?  Because it’s an attempt to manipulate a gullible public, this just shows how little they respect any of us.  Suppose the spacecraft is a group of aliens coming to Earth. In that case, I think the most likely scenario is that they are bringing illegal ballots from illegal aliens, this time from space, to help Democrats in the upcoming election.  Because you know what I say, if Democrats can’t cheat, they can’t win.  And if they can’t count on illegal aliens to keep them in office, then they will have to turn to aliens from outer space.  But as far as attacking the earth, that is fear talk as usual by the people we are supposed to trust.  But obviously can’t.

The Truth About Drones Over New Jersey and the World: Forces losing control are trying to scare us back into submission

So, what’s going on with the drones all over New Jersey and many other places around the world?  I think many people are partially correct about what they think they are.  Alex Jones is not wrong; I do not doubt that the evil forces in the world are trying to provoke a nuclear war with a false flag event.  That is how they have gained and stayed in power after all these years, through fear, so ahead of Trump’s return to the White House, there are no doubt plans for mass chaos in any way possible.  I also know a lot of people who think that the actual government of the world, behind the World Economic Forum activity, are aliens running everything from behind the military-industrial complex, and they are all stirred up that they feel they are losing control with the incoming anti-globalist position of President Trump.  As Trump said, and I agree with him, if aliens are flying around harassing our people over our sovereign country, then shoot them down.  Don’t assume that just because they have UFOs or whatever they want to call them these days, they are superior to any of us.  We have sovereign rights over our domestic country and do not yield them to anything or anybody.  That has to be the American policy.  We do not yield to anything “greater” than us.  Never forget, H.G. Wells, who wrote War of the Worlds, was a major socialist, so this idea of fear of something that pushes everyone to support global communist governments out of fear of some superior otherworldly force is a rather stupid one, yet many are hoping that such a fear might prevent what is going to come from the new Trump administration.  There is plenty to be concerned about, but if I bump into any of these characters, the same rules of personal protection apply, no matter who they are.  I’m with Trump; shoot them down.

I’ve done a lot of research on this topic; I went to Roswell, New Mexico, to study this topic.  I’ve seen plenty of UFOs.  And while I do have lots of very complicated thoughts about how the world was seeded with life and that I think humanity is much older than what we find on Earth through linear history, most of the UFO sightings that we experience are primarily politically motivated by those who are seeking to control us through the fear of what might be.  By constantly reminding us of something superior that is out there beyond our world, their hope is to shepherd us into following global leadership toward a one-world international government for personal protection.  It’s no different than when a rancher cracks a whip to drive cattle or some other herd of animals in the direction they want them to go.  Not long ago, I did a whole report about the CIA and UFOs at the old LeSourdsville Lake Park in Monroe, Ohio, and just a few days later, one appeared right over the Speedway there.  It hovered in the sky just a few miles from my house, clearly in front of the cars stuck at the traffic light for all to see.  Then it flew off to the north at such a pace that the centrifugal force would have killed everyone inside it, as it went from zero to thousands of miles an hour in less than a fraction of a second.  I think there were a lot of things going on with that UFO sighting, but I don’t think it was aliens visiting us.

There are a lot of AI programs watching everything being said, and with drone technology being what it is today, they are very advanced and can run entirely off computer programs to create brilliant illusions. If you’ve ever seen some of these modern drone shows, they are very sophisticated.  There are also skycars, the size of buses that fly around all the time and can fly very well.  Additionally, projection technology, which I think was the case with the UFO in Monroe, directly addressed my comments and explained how it moved so fast in the sky.  It is possible to project a 3D image in an almost holographic imprint against the molecular structure of air, especially on high-humidity nights or similar cloudy conditions.  So I think we are seeing a lot of attempts here to scare the human race back into submission as the world is seeing all these trends toward populism that are getting well out of control.  After all, we have people like Giorgia Meloni of Italy and Javier Milei of Argentina, who are the rising stars of leadership in the world, and that is a very new thing, which is joining Trump as an anti-globalist force in control now.  And globalism has been attached to UFO phenomena from the beginning of the United Nations.  That’s why there is so much on Netflix: to train the human race in such speculations so that the government can provide parental roles for protection.  However, the trend is to reject that projection and control the fate of each country individually.  And ahead of Trump returning to the White House, the globalist forces are in a panic, which they are showing through control over this particular kind of technology that is more visual than actually dangerous. 

So what I think, whatever forces they are, the powers that have been in control are losing control and are throwing a fit ahead of Trump’s inauguration.  And they are trying every trick in the book to hold power from a world that is quickly rejecting globalism massively.  When I witnessed the UFO event in Monroe, it was just a letdown to be so obvious.  I did a video and written article about all this and here was an answer just a few days later in an attempt to re-establish an alien attack narrative that organizations like the CIA count on to keep mass society under control.  But my research in Roswell had already convinced me that much of the UFO talk out there was more commercial than realistic.  Oh, I do believe in life on other planets.  I think there is a lot of it out there, and as we move into space, we will learn a lot about ourselves.  But most of the Roswell incident was out of commercial needs to boost their economy more than alien visits.  And that is most of the time the case.  Democrats, like Hillary Clinton and John Podesta, have been very excited about a Full Disclosure event that will reveal all that we know about aliens interacting with our government, and that same type of mentality is behind this current drone invasion that is happening all over the world.  But none of that will change the political trajectory we are all on.  If something flies over our countries, we need to shoot them down.  We do not want more government to protect us from aliens, which has always been the push.  If the aliens want to talk, we can talk.  But we are moving on as a human race to a government representing the work people need to have done.  Not one that people worship like a god out of fear of some force that’s out there and has more technology than we do.  Those days are over, and they are never coming back.

What Tucker Carlson said about UFOs being more spiritual than physical has caused a lot of discussion recently.  Elon Musk took notice and even added to the debate.  But I think when people think of UFOs and life on other planets and our interactions with all these things, we assume all the rules of conduct are applied to our observable universe without considering the still-revealing worlds of quantum mechanics.  A lot is happening in particle sciences with quarks, gluons, muons, and neutrinos.  Every second trillions of these hyper crazy neutrinos are passing through our bodies, and through the earth so fast that they act like the atoms that make up our material world, aren’t even there.  And all these quantum particles point to the very real issue of dark matter and dark energy, “dark” because we can’t see it with our visible light spectrum, yet it makes up most of the matter of our known universe.  So, things get out of control quickly with new information once you ask these questions.  Then, concerning all that, time dilation is very real, where folds of time actually wrap over themselves and behave differently relative to the application of gravity, the mass of a planet, and its position relative to us.  When you have moments of déjà vu, it’s likely attributed to this condition of dark matter folding over on itself with a physical reality that has already taken place but is observed at a different time because of all these attributes we are uncovering in particle sciences.  And, of course, as we go ghost hunting and record paranormal phenomena, we may actually communicate with ghosts who try to interact with us and talk back.  We have assumed that these are characters of the afterlife in a kind of linear format.  But logically, they would trace back more logically to the type of information we are constantly interacting with within dark matter, where the true location of what we call Heaven likely resides.  It is all around us, but men do not see it.

I say all that because of the need to understand these things where science is taking us.  Many of the religions of the world are likely our interpretations of interacting with many characters from paranormal phenomena.  In the Bible, prophets were constantly in a relationship with God who had a lot of concerns about what was going on in our world, even if he could only manifest in a puff of smoke over the gold wings of the Ark of the Covenant under certain conditions of blood sacrifices poured out over the lid with incense burning in the background.  Many of the events of the Bible and other religions could directly be attributed to quantum mechanics and the many lifeforms we are just learning to manage through our interactions with dark matter.  Some of these lifeforms could be massively bigger than us for which we are but a neutrino passing through them trillions of times every second, or much, much smaller, where the contents of an entire universe could be contained in every neutrino, that to our perception is smaller, and faster than anything known in the universe, probably breaking the speed of light by their very nature.  But what is the speed of light if time can actually be warped through dark matter?  So thoughts, feelings, and even politics based on these interactions would have a massive influence over our lives and the future of the known universe, in ways that nothing in science fiction has ever quite figured out.  Perhaps Frank Herbert from the Dune books was dancing with the truth in all its massive assumptions.  But probably, he was just pecking on the surface.

To understand some of these things, I think sex is the best measure.  A nice, attractive couple goes out on a date, cleans up their car, wears nice clothes, and puts on perfumes for dinner, where the food is prepared immaculately.  The wine is poured and consumed with sophistication and small talk to get the couple at ease with each other.  At the end of the night, there is a decision as to whether the couple wants to get into a state of undress and enjoy the human attributes of sex and the good feelings that come with it.  But all along were the sperm and eggs within the man and woman who are waiting in the multitudes to be injected into a situation to meet each other, and they observe the scale of all these things passively without having any fundamental understanding of why things are happening.  The purpose of it all is to inspire human beings to have sex and to make a baby that repopulates the earth.  Who designed that programming? That is the constant thought of religion, but science must increasingly be applied.  That is a lot of effort to make it possible to have a baby.  Most of the sperm that has ever been created, and most eggs in a woman, will never see a real opportunity to fulfill the meaning of their entire existence.  So they will interact with the mating rituals of procreation, the dinner, the dancing, the food, the smells, but will likely never meet an egg to fertilize and produce a child.  Yet, that is the entire purpose of the practice: to get a man and a woman filled with cells and all kinds of biological information to get together and exchange bodily fluid so life could be produced. 

When we look around our world and consider our political options, we are like the sperm looking to do our life’s work but with limited access to the big picture.  We know our impulse to act, and the conditions of our lives may be up to random circumstances well beyond our comprehension.  Yet those activities may have complete control over whether our life fulfillment achieves what it was designed for, whatever that is.  When we interact with and observe quarks, gluons, muons, and neutrinos, we see elements from the big picture without understanding them.  But we will, and I would argue that the purpose of the human imagination is to pull all these elements together for the benefit of everything.  Our thoughts don’t have to reside in our minds but are likely permeating everywhere in the universe’s dark matter on a grand scale.  What we tune into with our individual lives is but a radio of a constant broadcast that occurs over many lifetimes and people who arise to witness it.  But the purpose of the whole thing could be said to be like sex, with all the dating rituals that go on, all the small talk, to get to an opportunity to inject sperm into a woman to fertilize an egg released at just the right time and place that one out of many thousands will have a chance to fulfill its reason for creation.  And what is the meaning of that creation, a baby that has to spend 18 years growing into an adult, only to do the same thing all over again with different participants?  So when we talk about UFOs and paranormal activity, we need to understand that all those neutrinos passing through us have life and concerns contained within them that have information directly connected to the other side of the universe by the trillions.  They impact how we think, what evil or good might occur, and what creative concepts our minds might develop.  But in truth, we have much more to learn about the nature of these things. And it is likely the point of our imaginations to give birth to something new, which the universe is trying to achieve through us, and is likely the point to all life, everywhere, all the time.

“Your Mom is a Whore”: How government grows and why people let it

One thing we don’t talk about enough, and we should, is the cause of big government in the first place.  It’s one thing to point it out, and to complain about, and to blame some secondary condition, such as the evils of the World Economic Forum or the secrecy and malice of the CIA.  But in truth, I would say the number one reason that Bill Cooper was killed on his front porch by a couple of Arizona law enforcement had more to do with one of the most intelligent statements I have ever read in a book, which William Cooper accurately put his finger on as the root cause of all conspiracy theory, and the evils that follow.  In his book Behold a Pale Horse, Cooper pointed out what caused most of the problems in the world, which was devastating to all the people and groups out there who want those problems to continue so that they will have power over people in general, especially from government expansion and the abuse that comes with it.  And it wasn’t the talk about UFOs enslaving civilization, which is undoubtedly in that book, or the secrecy of power groups who operate in the shadows with a tax-eating shadow government.  Those are all true things, but not the reason I think they killed Bill Cooper. Instead, what he said about the natural psychological state of children and their parents that was the secret sauce that resides behind all government power.  And it is the biggest challenge to creating a country like America.  And that the way to destroy America was to exploit this weakness.  To strengthen it would be to help people with this essential problem of self-fulfillment and reliance on individual behavior instead of social collectivism.  Bill Cooper’s analysis in that famous conspiracy theory book is one of the most intelligent and powerful statements ever put on paper regarding mass society. 

The essential problem is this, and it’s a specific human issue in that people spend 18 years learning things, and most adults don’t live stable lives raising children over those 18 years.  They may do well at raising kids initially when all the rules are straightforward, and children depend entirely on their parents to function.  This is as opposed to other animals, such as young deer, that can stand up and run around just minutes after birth.  Humans have vast, complicated intellects not designed to be the drivers of mere animal behavior, basic sustenance, the acquisition of food, procreation, and shelter during heavy rains.  Humans take time to make, not their biological bodies but their minds.  At any point during those 18 years, even though their bodies may be ready to reproduce at 12 to 13 years old, their needs for thoughtful expression and social function continue into their 20s.  It takes a long time to build a human being, and then they don’t last very long after all that emotional investment; they are usually dead by age 70 to 80, with all that effort lost to time and what insecurities that bring to the effort of such an endeavor.  Many adults look at life and say, “Why try so hard if it’s all going to be over so fast.”  So they don’t do their jobs in instructing the youth, and the youth end up carrying on that trait to their children, then their children, and more children perpetually for infinity, leaving the world in the mess we have been talking about throughout human history.  Almost nobody gets this process right, which is the root cause of most trouble in the universe.  Suppose we were talking to aliens from the other side of the galaxy living in a type 1 or 2 civilization. They likely would have the same frustrations that they have been unable to overcome in their highly advanced technical society. 

We have tried to compensate for this problem in various ways, but none have worked, especially on the education frontier.  The social answer to this problem is to have the state educate society for its perpetuation of power as a collective entity of its own, viewing the people of society in much the way individual people might look at the cells of their body, as communal heaps of life that work together for the function of a living being.  The government was created to fulfill these needs and insecurities and thinks of itself as an individual, as “the state.”  And it expects people to fall in line to the service and maintenance of it as an organism in the plots of life as we know it, everywhere in the universe.  And as much as people talk about personal freedom and self-expression under Constitutional law, most people never develop individually to live that kind of life because they grew up with unhealthy relationships with their parents.  They often do not get the type of security and reliability of thought that humans require from their insecure parents, so that trait of confidence is never passed on to the children.  And they grow up to perpetuate the mistakes of their parents, who essentially got where they did in life through the same flawed method. 

Often, kids get loving parents who confuse their role in providing security with being afraid of everything that threatens it.  Then, by the time those children become teenagers, their puberty hard-wired behavior becomes their escape velocity only to become independent of their parents to learn life is hard, and they fall flat on their faces only to run back to the arms of a parental figure that can help them.  Since they can’t run back to their parents for that security, often, they create a big government and its various tyrannies to duplicate that infantile parental experience to give them a barrier to the dangers of life.  And those who want to be perpetual parents, always telling people what to do to mask the fact that they don’t know much themselves, use government to continue this dysfunctional relationship to keep the solution off the table.  We have identified the problem in works of philosophy, such as the founding documents of America clearly express.  But often, the people’s minds are not prepared for the responsibility of self-government because of all this sabotage of the parental role that produces such dependent children perpetually in need of parental roles that the government seeks to grow and expand for their own survival.  By weakening children’s minds, the defective parent can disguise love for the menace of keeping those children dependent on their parental fulfillment, realizing that the children never grow up and move away or that the children might surpass them in some way or another.  This vital part of the human relationship between parents and children sets up all the world’s tyrannies.  While parents might grow old and die away, freeing the children of their bonds to the traditional terror of low-intellect relationships, the government only changes the roles of the parental players.  The personalities might come and go, but the entity itself only continues to grow from one generation to the next, worsening until it either collapses or forces rebellion against its tyrannies from the minds who learn better what should be and refuse to accept what is, which is where we find ourselves on this razor thin precipice with the future gazing at us as a challenge.  How we handle that challenge is the cause of some of the most ostentatious fear that permeates the universe, which is conducting itself into a grand fortissimo in this current time in a fascinating way to watch.  What made Bill Cooper such a threat to the order of things was that with him essentially pointing out to his readers that their “mom was a whore,” he was undercutting the desire that mother government had to continue a relationship that benefited her at the expense of all the children.  Which couldn’t stand, so she plotted to get rid of him so that her children would never learn what she was doing to them with dependency disguised as safety.  And at the center of it all is the cause of most problems in the world.
