The Ikitu people of northeastern Peru are under nightly siege by 7-foot tall armored humanoids. They say they know these creatures as 'Pelacaras' or 'Face Peelers'. The Peruvian government blames illegal mining. Local conspiracy theorists blame a far-right ideology known as 'Fujimorism'. So what are the Pelacaras and what do they want with northeastern Peru?

Strieber's book "Communion: A True Story" made UFO abductions and grays household concepts for the American public. What really happened to Strieber?

Congress held a special hearing on the need to end government secrecy around UFOs on July 26th, 2023. Two former military pilots and one former military intelligence officer spoke about the UFO phenomenon and government obfuscation of their efforts to raise the alarm about possible alien craft inside the United States.

U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher has appeared in the news discussing four possible explanations for UFOs, each one stranger than the last.

Wagner’s 'March for Justice' has ended peacefully. Dane explains why the real winner was the social media app Telegram and how you can adapt ancient Renaissance practices to better understand global news.

Open revolt against the Putin regime has commenced. Russian mercenary leader, Prigozhin, has announced a "march for justice" and mobilized up to fifty-thousand troops for a siege of Moscow. This special report on breaking news from June 24th, 2023, updates you on everything we know and what it means for Russia, Ukraine and the world.

Like the gremlins of yore, America's UFO whistleblowers have multiplied and mutated from fuzzy and friendly into spooky and scary. There are now allegedly over 700 government insiders blowing their whistles and the resulting cacophony will give you chills. Some insiders claim to have witnessed flying saucers filled with human contraband, while others are blaming the fascist Mussolini for the entire UFO retrieval concept. Overwhelmed by the whistleblowers' increasingly bizarre and varied stories, Dane argues that the entire situation is a psyop that aims cover up the Pentagon's misappropriation of hundreds of billions of dollars. This wild episode ranges over topics from Steven Greer and Demi Lovato to the story of how one Congressional UFO enthusiast escaped an assassination attempt by the post-Soviet mafia.

A special report on breaking news from June 5th, 2023, concerning Pentagon whistleblowers alleging the existence of illegally concealed military-intelligence programs to retrieve and study crashed UFOs. Former Air Force Intelligence Officer, David Grusch says that he filed a complaint with the Intelligence Inspector General about retaliation against his investigation of illegal black box programs that study off-world craft. Multiple current and former officials are corroborating his story, with additional whistleblowers said to be going directly to Congress. Some also allege that these U.S. programs are part of an international competition to reverse-engineer alien spacecraft. Are these allegations the beginning of alien disclosure, a revelation about massive U.S. military misconduct, or a bizarre hoax?

Bruce Fenton returns for an update on his research into possible extraterrestrial intervention in prehistoric human development. Fenton has been finding scientific evidence that corroborates a story first related to persons in Australia through an interaction with an aboriginal mystical artifact. His research draws from converging lines of evidence from anthropology, geology, and genetics. The conversation starts with an outline of the astonishing story of an alien "megastructure" being destroyed in Earth orbit and the survivors taking an interest in the manipulation of our pre-human ancestors. It quickly pivots to a discussion of the mainstream academic geological controversy around a massive strewn field of silica debris scattered across Asia and Australia. Fenton links the debris field to the megastructure, posited by his anthropological sources. Importantly, Fenton points out that "mainstream" academics have struggled to explain the debris field, whereas his hypothesis that a megastructure was destroyed in Earth orbit uniquely explains various mysteries associated with the debris. Next, Fenton reviews the genetic evidence showing that dramatic and improbable changes in the ancestral human genome began around the same time as the event that created the debris field. Finally, the conversation pivots to the growing interest in Fenton's work, from the popularity of his 2022 scientific pre-print, to his securing of independent financial backing for additional research. It ends with a discussion of how Fenton's research relates to recent developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Could the aliens be less interested in us humans and more interested in the thinking machines we are in the process of creating? Could there be a glitch in human cognitive architecture that makes it difficult for mainstream society to grapple seriously with the possibility of alien intervention in the human genome? This is a heady and detailed discussion that no one interested in real scientific evidence for ancient aliens can afford to miss!

A review of the big, recent conspiratorial news: What is the Bilderberg Group and are they meeting to try and head off an AI apocalypse? Former Roscosmos chief questions American moon landing. RFK Jr., and Lyndon LaRouche and the conspiratorial American presidential candidate. Musk v. Magneto, who will win? Don't forget to build-a-samosa.

When a professor of physics started poking into reports of strange lights in the local highlands, he found himself entangled in the great 1973 UFO flap of Southeastern Missouri. When he published his book "Project Identification" he turned the small town of Piedmont's spooky lights into one of the best scientifically documented UFO cases in history. As his research continued through the 70's, the professor would be drawn into the High Strangeness and associated hijinks that often follow in the wake of sustained inquiry into the paranormal. The Piedmont lights are a mystery from recent history that continues to haunt the region to the present day.

According to the Pentagon's new UFO-report clearing house, the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), metallic orbs are buzzing America's military service men and women. Meanwhile, the Russo-Ukranian war enters a terrifyingly unstable new phase. And Elon Musk warns that AI may destroy the world, but is he trying to hinder the apocalypse....or hurry it along?
