I don’t believe in UFOs simply because it’s the perfect next big thing for the media and government to exploit while totally ignoring all the other problems that were unnecessarily created by the media and government in the first place. Great to hear about Jeffrey Sachs but I always keep my pro-wrestling antenna for anything and everything coming out of our deranged mainstream media. Always watch for Heel Turns and Face Turns from those guys as they become more and more unable and increasingly ineffective in managing narratives. I hate them all for what they have done to us.

Have to agree, seems pretty obvious to me that the current UFO revelations is the actual deception and psy-op.

A bit disappointed Tucker isn't exercising a bit more discretion here. Clearly there are huge lies on this topic, either they lied about non-existence in the past or they are lying about existence now, they can't both be true. Why would anyone think this current story is finally the truth?

The most likely explanation is the government seeded the UFO stories in decades past to cover up secret military aviation and space programs that they didn't want to reveal. People saw things they shouldn't have so the government started the UFO hysteria as a cover. It was a deliberate distraction they used to their advantage. Now for some reason they have gone from pushing it covertly to pushing it overtly, but it's likely the same people behind it.

I'm watching his episode on this now. I too see him latching onto it as a truth the government is hiding instead of being skeptical of the whole set up. The government lies and hides everything anyway so this is just another story to distract the public.

Expand full comment
Jeff C's avatar

I think he's falling for it because it "proves" the government was lying previously, that's red meat for many of us.

But it doesn't have to be one or the other. They could have been lying then (denying existence when they were actually the cause of the sightings) and lying now about them being real. Or maybe they were telling the truth before and are lying now.

Looking at the big picture, what's the one thing that could unite mankind after being at each other's throats since the fall from the garden? Covid didn't work. Global warming didn't work. The only thing likely to work is the threat of an invasion from another world (at least it worked in the movie Independence Day). Pretty convenient for those pushing one world government.

Hey Phil, if you get a chance check out the book, "The Incredible Scofield and His Book" referring of course to CI Scofield and his study Bible. It's out of print but you can find PDFs online. It was written by a Christian about 40 years ago trying to get to the bottom of how Dispensationalism really took off in the US.

Scofield nearly single-handedly caused this in the early 1900's, as his study bible was enormously influential due to his association with DL Moody (of the now famous Moody Bible College). The author goes in detail through Schofield's life with thousands of footnotes and it's blowing my mind.

Long story short, the author makes a pretty compelling case that Scofield's Bible emerging at pretty much the exact same time Zionism became a political movement was not a coincidence. He goes through Schofield's connections to wealthy backers. In addition, he goes through his life prior to taking up preaching and he had some skeletons that he appears to have hid from the church.

I attend a Dispensationalist church (though not overtly Zionist) and this stuff has always sort of bothered me as I knew it wasn't part of historical Christianity. It never occurred to me to see where it actually arose and it's been quite an eye opener finding this stuff out.

Robin Greer's avatar

I have studied both sides of the issue. I went to a college that taught exactly the opposite of what I believe. We will just have to agree to disagree on this one. It's not an issue that's related to salvation so in the end it's not a hill to die on. The pillars of the reformation are pillars for a reason. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ and that's what's most important.

I’m open on the question of being raptured or going through the tribulation. I know where both sides are coming from.

And I don’t at all believe it’s a question of being better than the apostles. God had his purpose for each and every one of them. I don’t know what the point would have been in their being raptured. And he has his purpose for each and every one of us. That purpose is not necessarily martyrdom simply because we are no better than others who are martyred.

I get worried when anyone gets giddy about a liberal finally β€œseeing the light” and deciding to leave the Democrat party. Never forget the level of 5-D chess we’re playing. The powers that be knew they’d never get away with the whole Covid hoax right from the get go, so admitting the farce and unlawfulness down the road has always been in the their plan. This way, a few heads will roll and a few congressional hearings will prevail and then BOOM, we’re past it. That was easy! Right? They do this with every single issue, event, hoax, and misdeed. Have you all forgotten this? The plan was to get vaccines in our armsβ€”whatever happened after that they’d just manage it with propaganda, as they always do.

Also, keep this in mind: what they want is the destruction of America, so they create scenarios in which we’ll refute America. They’re counting on us despising our country when people figure out en masse that their government killed Uncle George or cousin Ray. The Deep State is driving this narrative, knowing we’ll hate our government forever and will more readily accept the Great Reset. We must NOT forget that taking down America is their goal, and the best way for them to do that is to make sure Americans hate their country. The exposed Covid planedemic will certainly drive that nail into the coffin.

You cannot trust that the Covid narrative is being exposed organically. IT IS NOT. It is being exposed on purpose. Keep their ultimate goal in mindβ€”the destruction of America and our willingness to give in to a One World Government because we will perceive our country as irretrievable.

Like anyone from The Hill would really denounce Democrats? Ha! Not unless it was just part of the plan.

Sorry folks. You’re being fooled here. Absolutely no doubt about it.

MarkGW's avatar

I agree that their goal is to destroy America. So creating any chaos that makes us hate our institutions is on their agenda. But I don't agree that this will drive us to accept the Great Reset. It is clear to us all these 2 things are one in the same. When we refute the "agenda" of those trying to bring us down, we will revert to a revival of our founding principles (or we won't and it will be too late).

I hope you’re right. And hope is certainly on the menu.

I imagine accepting the Great Reset would happen if and when we get to a point where there is no other choice. Society will have broken down to a point where people believe the carrot being dangled in front of them is the only way. Exhausted, beaten down from years of demoralization, war, propaganda, school shootings, and the like.

What worries me is the Big Bangβ€”meaning some sort of final straw being planned to break us down completely. Covid has convinced me they know no bounds and anything on their future agenda is likely to be worse.

I tend to go down the same path. But then, I have also read that nearly half of the population did NOT support the break from England back at the start of the revolutionary war. There were very long odds that this movement would not be successful. The British had the money, power, training. Our soldiers were on the verge of starvation. And yet we prevailed. We had a civil war less than a 100 years later that tore the country apart. And yet, here we are. I for one will continue to fight to preserve the great American experiment, and will pray that enough of us will continue to do the same.

I think the Deep State wanted to get the vaccine into our arms. It could never have been a perfect plan and they knew that. They agreed they’d manage the damage after the fallout by using propaganda, which is exactly what they’re doing. They’ll admit to β€œmistakes” but they’ll control the outcome, as they always do,

I’m not paranoid. I just get them. I see their patterns and am familiar with their modus operandi.

Don’t forget there’s a lot of people in the medical freedom movement that are controlled opposition, sadly. If I were the Deep State, I’d have operated the same way. Have people join β€œthe other side” so you can control the outcome and drive the narrative.

They have been working toward getting all adults vaccinated for decades. For most people, once they leave high school, they don’t go in for vaccines again as an adult. It plays havoc with their whole narrative that these vaccines are what prevent outbreaks of these diseases (even though most people don’t connect the dots). Vaccines cause a multitude of health problems even if most of them haven’t been β€œofficially” linked.

Sadly, too many in the medical freedom movement are controlled opposition, but that’s the game they’ve been playing forever. We just have to stay vigilant and keep our eyes open.

You have to understand the context. It’s not just one adverse Deep State event that convinces people our government is corrupt or that there’s big people in big places pulling our strings.

It’s an attack from all sides, in a multitude of waysβ€”from corrupt courts, to open borders, to crooked politicians, pandemics, artificial inflation, phony FISA courtsβ€”-all of it.

We must be convinced that our country is irreparable. Not so much hating our countryβ€”-as it is believing society has broken down to an unfixable degree.

We still have a long way to go before we get to that point, but there’s a lot more aheadβ€”a lot more hell.

Burying any killer new technology which is a threat to existing TPTB while keeping any super tech as surprise doomsday weapons.

New Health Paradigm's avatar

Most likely chain of events.

1. UFO crashes.

2. Technology retrieved and back engineered.

3. Public kept happy with recycled 1940's rocket tech (Apollo, Shuttle, Space X).

4. Meanwhile a 'breakaway civilisation' forms with it's own free energy/ anti grav propulsion tech. 'Missing' trillions in defence budget used to develop new 'jetsons' tech which would liberate society from oil if made available to all (which is why it is kept secret).

5. The masses are no longer required to further productivity or technological innovation - more useful now as lab rats for transhuman experimentation. Dumbing down is achieved through drugs, mainstream culture, education and progressive ideology.

6. As breakaway civilisation continues to refine its super duper tech (probably zipping all around the solar system) the masses are pushed back into a new dark age of scarcity and rubbish tech (windmills, solar panels, electric cars) under the banner of 'environmentalism'.

7. Once control grid is in place (15 min cities/ digital ID/ cashless etc) the breakaway civilisation

can reveal itself under the guise of 'aliens'. Public is prepped for this with years of 'disclosure' in the mainstream media - who previously ridiculed the subject.

8. 'Aliens' will either be portrayed as a threat (the new AQ) requiring a 'war on aliens' with global government as the 'only hope'....... or they will be portrayed as benevolent force bringing peace to Earth by instructing us to come together under a one world gov utopia, with the promise of alien tech and 'free everything' under a communist system. People will be so destitute by this stage (global financial collapse) that they will welcome their new slavery because it has a Star Trek vibe to it (you will own nothing and be happy).

I called Scott and Rubio’s offices. I try to never miss an opportunity, however fruitless it may feel. I want to say, I did what I could.

Thank you for making it so easy.

Comment on the all female operators; the first one sounded black, terse and disinterested. After I told her the office I wanted, there was silence until the call was transferred to a machine. My second call was answered by someone with a Hispanic accent, who was much friendlier and polite. But the call got dropped. The third time was another Hispanic accent, again professionally friendly.

Everything else was talking to a machine.

I sadly think their votes may go to the highest bidder. I wish I didn’t think this way.

I get worried when anyone gets giddy about a liberal finally β€œseeing the light” and deciding to leave the Democrat party. Never forget the level of 5-D chess we’re playing. The powers that be knew they’d never get away with the whole Covid hoax right from the get go, so admitting the farce and unlawfulness down the road has always been in the their plan. This way, a few heads will roll and a few congressional hearings will prevail and then BOOM, we’re past it. That was easy! Right? They do this with every single issue, event, hoax, and misdeed. Have you all forgotten this? The plan was to get vaccines in our armsβ€”whatever happened after that they’d just manage it with propaganda, as they always do.

Also, keep this in mind: what they want is the destruction of America, so they create scenarios in which we’ll refute America. They’re counting on us despising our country when people figure out en masse that their government killed Uncle George or cousin Ray. The Deep State is driving this narrative, knowing we’ll hate our government forever and will more readily accept the Great Reset. We must NOT forget that taking down America is their goal, and the best way for them to do that is to make sure Americans hate their country. The exposed Covid planedemic will certainly drive that nail into the coffin.

You cannot trust that the Covid narrative is being exposed organically. IT IS NOT. It is being exposed on purpose. Keep their ultimate goal in mindβ€”the destruction of America and our willingness to give in to a One World Government because we will perceive our country as irretrievable.

Like anyone from The Hill would really denounce Democrats? Ha! Not unless it was just part of the plan.

Why is it so hard for most people to have compassion for animals? Eating a cow isn’t much different than eating a dog. Farm animals are treated brutally and then murdered for their flesh. They are just as afraid of death as you are. Can you not have any sympathy or love for them? It’s terrible how selfish and inhumane most people are.

It’s gross to want to feast on the flesh of a corpse. When one of Jeffery Dahmer’s victims testified the Jeffery told him that he was going to eat his heart, people were horrified. Yet they eat hearts of sentient beings themselves.

Please do an internet search on pig gestation crates. These are real beings with feelings like humans. They know fear, love jealousy and other emotions. Benjamin Franklin became a vegetarian at age 16 years. He tried to convert others too.

You make a better argument for regenerative farming practices than you do for being a so-called vegan. 'So-called' because row-cropping, which must be done on a huge scale to keep billions of people fed with enough calories if meat will not be eaten, destroys ecosystems and all the animals, from microscopic to large-animal, that depend on them. My farm is host to the historical longleaf pine habitat with its native species, both animal and plant, as well as to fenced pastures with cattle and sheep. Inside the pastures is a mix of native/historic ecosystem and non-native grass (the latter that predated our ownership and stewardship of the land). You would do better to lobby for zoning changes, so people can have gardens and small, quiet animals (e.g., rabbits and hens, for meat and eggs) on their own property, rather than force all food production out of where people live. Do you criticize the Maasai tribespeople, whose historical cultural food practice was to consume the meat, milk, and blood of their herds? Why would you want to limit food supplies for poor people who live in areas unsuitable geographically for row-cropping but has been suitable for grazing sheep or cattle for 10,000 years? Who is the uninformed, heartless one in this conversation? Check your privilege. (Lol, that's a joke, but I couldn't help it, especially because in this case it's about those of us with real privilege - no worries about where our next meal is coming from.)

Great post and excellent points. I was also going to make the comment about native peoples. And that a lot of the foods that vegans rely on as substitutes for meat (in terms of calories and nutrients) are very bad for the environment and habitats. Almonds and cashews are very water intensive crops and are rarely locally sourced products. Increased use of quinoa by rich western countries has reduced the amount available to native tribes in South America. Monkeys have been and are still used as labor to help harvest coconuts to meet the greatly increased demand. So people who use coconut products might be contributing to monkey abuse. Those are just a few examples off the top of my head.

Peter’s Vision - Acts 10:9-16

9The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air. 13Then a voice said to him: β€œGet up, Peter, kill and eat!”

14β€œNo, Lord!” Peter answered. β€œI have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15The voice spoke to him a second time: β€œDo not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

It’s obvious. Cows eat grass and have the digestive system to turn that into milk, fat, and delicious muscle we call beef. Chickens like to scratch around a farmyard and look for grubs in grassy fields. They turn that into eggs and delicious muscle and fat we call poultry. Pigs like to eat anything and stay cool in mud baths etc. All three are social in particular ways, so when you make them live in confined spaces or deprive them of fresh air, sunshine, etc. they get sick. Then the farmer has to give them antibiotics to keep them from dying, and our meat supply is full of stress hormones and medications.

You don’t have to believe God exists to know how animals should be treated, but can you at least see that if He does exist, He knows how to design things in logical and harmonious ways? And if we follow that design, the result is very good?

That has been so misinterpreted by taking it out of context. He was using a vision of clean and unclean animals to teach Peter a lesson about the Gentiles. If you read the entire thing, Peter was against sharing the truth of Messiah to the β€˜unclean Gentiles’.

Peter is being admonished by the Holy Spirit, he is being told not to devalue people (gentiles) whom God has cleansed. To not call them common or unholy, as God has made them holy. He was then told to go to the gentiles and share the Word with them.

I respect your choices. Mine is to eat meat. I am opposed to factory farming because the animals are unhealthy, it's inhume, they're filled with drugs to keep from being sick from living in filth, and some never see the sun. I'm not ok with that at all. But that does not mean all farms that raise animals for food are bad places. My meat comes from Seven Sons Farms in Indiana and I am fine with their practices. I am also fine with Blystone Farms outside of Columbus, Ohio.

Everything is part of the food chain except humans. Humans are omnivores. If we were meant to eat only plants, our digestive systems and teeth would be completely different. I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind, of course, as I respect your views. But for me, my health is better, my energy is better, and I feel better overall when having an omnivorous diet. The three times I have seriously committed to trying to be vegetarian have been awful, and that was vegetarian, not vegan. I was sick, pale, constantly hungry, anemic, tired all the time, depressed and craved meat constantly. It wasn't a craving for the taste. It was a deep down craving that my body was crying out for something I was missing. I even dreamed about eating raw hamburger on multiple occasions. Whether I was missing amino acids, iron, vitamins, and/or protein, I'll never know. But I do know what works for me physically and I intend to keep doing it.

I think the UFO stuff is a really silly distraction and I'm very disappointed in Tucker for pushing that narrative. Who knows what the agenda is why it's everywhere now. Maybe next year election interference will be due to "aliens" or the next pandemic will be microbes from "outer space". Whatever the goal, I think it will only be used to create panic and fear.

Edit to add: btw, Tucker's father was part of the intelligence community. Also, some of his interviews are very questionable, for example how easy he was on Andrew Tate (whose father is also connected to intelligence), of course on Trump. And why for example hasn't he interviewed DeSantis?

Tucker has been questioning the "UFO/alien" thing for years. He has always seemed fascinated by the stories and possible cover-up. Nothing new for him.

Tucker also questioned the "science" of C19, jabs, Ukraine etc. His whole thing is throw ideas/stories out there, give alternative thoughts and let US work it through and decide.

I am thinking the UFO trend is just another C I A psy ops which will be used against us to put extreme fear into the public in order to control us, just as they used Covid. Nothing they do seems grounded in truth, just working to further the globalist agenda to control the masses. Which would be why they need to keep it a secret. So when aliens start attacking, keep in mind, it’s fake.

You should listen to the show before you consider him "pushing that narrative," at least this time. I didn't follow him on TV, as I don't have one, but have been able to see his shows since he's only online. This one did not go where I thought it was going.

I also watched the entire interview last night and I was surprised it led to a possible conclusion, or theory, that really has nothing to do with true aliens & UFO's. The guy he interviewed sounded quite credible to me and the fact he's been threatened, might mean he's on to something.

There is quite a difference between 20min, also in setting and number of eyeballs the Twitter interview would get. RDS was on the PBD podcast recently for example. But yes, we don't know if it's RDS or Tucker, but given his softball questions to Trump, I'm currently leaning more towards that it's Tucker until other evidence comes out.

Tucker wants his viewer numbers, and he's figured out how to get them by inviting on people to discuss hot topics and asking them slightly-naive questions that the "average" viewer might ask, as well as airing his own opinions. Sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't, but he seems generally sincere to me.

Jeff, I don't know if you're aware of writer Rod Dreher. He has been discussing the UFO issue lately on his substack, roddreher.substack.com. He thinks UFOs are actually demons, and we're being primed for a great end-times deception where a religion is set up worshipping these alien entities.

I'm not sure about all that, but I think the evidence is pretty persuasive that people's encounters with "aliens" are actually demonic encounters. Whatever you think of his theories, it makes for very interesting reading and a possible explanation for the sudden flood of UFO chatter.

I'm only human

I'm just a man

Help me to believe in what I can be and all that I am

Show me the stairway

That I have to climb

Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus

That's all I'm asking of you

Give me the strength to do everyday

What I have to do

Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus

And tomorrow may never be mine

So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time

Do you remember when you walked among men?

Well Jesus you know if you're looking below

It's worse now than then

Pushing and shoving crowding my mind

So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus (sweet Jesus)

That's all I'm asking of you

Give me the strength to do everyday

What I have to do

Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus (sweet Jesus)

And tomorrow may never be mine

So, for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time

Yes, for just my sake, teach me to take one day at a time

Interesting theory- could be angels or fallen angels (demons). I am reminded of the flaming chariot that came to take Elijah to heaven. 2 Kings 6 Elisha say the "horses and chariots of fire all around Elijah." But as far as alien space craft - not going to believe that. Undisclosed government technology - that's what I would believe.

I first heard of Rod from the Weinstein's Dark Horse podcast as they recommended his book "Live Not by Lies". Excellent book warning about the encroaching totalitarian state. He may be right about UFOs. Anyone who has watched the videos of the Goddard Tunnel opening in Switzerland in 2016 can see the demonic representations in it. And why do so many bad things come out of Switzerland? UN, WHO, WEF, etc....

I read him. He said something about demons knocking over a chair at a coffee shop he was in. I think people need to factor in the possibility of technologies when they are evaluating all anomalous experience, especially when it is religious. I always try to think of all possibilities and not be limited by models or paradigms. Not that he might not be right about demons, and my sense is that this meta narrative is coming from so many sources at once, on all platforms and through all different political persuasions, that something clearly is afoot. Remember in the movie Independence Day how the pilots "plow the road" to get rid of the alien ships so they can deliver the nuke? Something is sort of plowing the road to get rid of incredulity and lay down a back story of documentation. I'd bet, if it ends up being like Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End, in which the aliens look like the devil, the "aliens" will say they have been the source of all religions and none of them are true. Let Old Scratch have some boosters I say.

Satan is the great deceiver and poses as an angel of light. One lie that our culture cultivates in its consciousness is the idea that technology will save us from our problems and give us the power to live forever. People assume that aliens are more technologically advanced than us and also benevolent. It sounds like a characteristically demonic setup.

Maybe there is more UFO activity recently for the same reason there is more hellish activity in our society generally- people have removed themselves from the protection of the good angels like never before, and are exposed to the evil spirits.

In any case, the government wants to control the narrative.

Yeah, Rod is a bit over-credulous, IMO. But, he is at least open to the supernatural, which many "Christians" are not. We will certainly see, but I think his conclusion is sound: for Christians to be wide awake to any potential deception surrounding aliens.

Very astute! When/If the "alien invasion" happens, I will be shouting it's all a fake. They now have the technology to make anything appear as real and it will be on live TV. In the meantime, we have a real invasion of aliens coming across our border and they will be used against us to harm us.
