Out of these pages there comes a blazing challenge to the American people. Shall their Republic … be vigorously alive or on the road to death? Shall the United States … be transformed to a Soviet America or shall it be a thriving Democratic Republic?

So far, the decision of dominant forces, somewhat blindly given, has been in favor of national suicide.

Louis Budenz,
The Bolshevik Invasion of the West

Louis Budenz was born in 1891 and died in 1972. He was a labor activist who joined the Communist Party USA, became managing editor of the Party’s newspaper, Daily Worker, and then became a Soviet spy. In 1945 he renounced communism, testifying under oath about communist subversion and espionage. He wrote books in which he attempted to warn the American people about the dangers of communism. In 1965 Louis Budenz said, “The record of the past thirty years … cannot be depicted as a happy or encouraging one. Since recognition of the Bolshevik Revolution by the United States, the history of the period is dotted with American setbacks….” If Budenz were alive today, he would describe the last thirty years in similar terms.

Budenz listed the communist conquest of Eastern Europe and China as major setbacks in his 1965 lamentation. Today Budenz might list the loss to communism of mineral rich Congo, South Africa, the communist victory in the Angolan Civil War; the return of the Sandinista communists to power in Nicaragua, the fall of oil-rich Venezuela to communism; the fall of Nepal, the suppression of Hong Kong, crypto communist governments in Bolivia and throughout Latin America; a totalitarian beachhead in the federal bureaucracy of the United States Government, communist-inspired multiculturalism and political correctness in the nation’s schools and universities leading to national disunity and ideological fragmentation, the communist-made COVID-19 pandemic, the riots of last summer, and the stolen November election.

It is no wonder that some of us are worried. In 1965 Budenz wrote, “So far, the decision of dominant forces, somewhat blindly given, has been in favor of national suicide.” It must be admitted that our course continues along these same lines. Only now, we may be coming to the end of our journey of domestic transformation. The subversion of earlier decades now evolves toward a socialist revolution, perhaps finalized by a seizure of power through fraudulent communist-style elections – with Russia and China as the dominant world powers. Our national train is following the same track as 1965.  What Budenz wrote then, applies now: “A small group of loud-shouting … friends of the Communist conspiracy join hands with the Morgan-Rockefeller interests on Wall Street and much of the American business community….”

As the French like to say, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” (The more things change, the more they stay the same.) Nothing in our trajectory has changed since 1965. Our course remains what it was. We seem to be stuck, unable to turn our ship of state away from a rocky shore.

How can a rich and powerful country come to such a tragic end? Ignorance, foolishness and treason come immediately to mind. Even now, most Americans are ignorant of the danger from China and Russia, foolish enough to think life will return to normal because of a vaccine. My own sources continue to report that the country we built into a military colossus, Red China, is contemplating a war with the United States. Reports from Russia are only slightly more encouraging; yet an authority no less knowledgeable than Peter Vincent Pry has hinted that an “apparent” cyberattack from Russia could be a precursor to a strike against U.S. strategic assets (if we take stock of Russia’s Vostok 18 conventional/nuclear war exercise).

With China prepping for war and Vladimir Putin winking from behind his generals, what is likely to happen in the new year? In all probability we will see an economic crisis resulting from COVID-19 overstretch, opening the way to a violent sequel. As Peter Pry noted, the recent cyber-attack on the U.S. Government is more than suggestive. From the look of things, our cyber systems have been compromised in a way that cannot be fixed easily. Our vaunted NSA has proven to be something of a scarecrow. How could it be otherwise, given our history of being infiltrated and subverted from within? So here we sit, vulnerable as never before. Will it be the banks? (I’ve heard that the Russians hacked at least one bank.) Will it be the markets? Will it be agriculture? Will it be our military?

It seems we are passing from a low-intensity war to something more intense. And why shouldn’t our enemies up their game? The Chinese communists have bought God-only-knows how many of our politicians. They’ve colonized key West Coast cities. They’ve stolen American military technology and now they are ready to deploy that technology in a war. They skunked us with a nasty virus. They are threatening Australia, India, Taiwan and Japan. But “President-Elect” Joe Biden says the Chinese communists are wonderful people.

In the meanwhile, a bizarre news report has appeared in the midst of our national nightmare, in the form of public statements from an Israeli general, a former space security chief. As Breitbart has reported, retired Gen. Haim Eshed says that extraterrestrials have been in contact with the U.S. and Israeli governments for years. As if reading from a cheap science fiction novel, he added that the “Galactic Federation” asked President Donald Trump to keep their existence secret.

Gen. Eshed’s “revelation” may serve as an indirect warning to China and Iran. After all, if America is aligned with a Galactic Federation, would the Chinese dare to attack? Surely the Chinese would not go against a country with extraterrestrial friends with “out-of-this-world” technology. “There’s an agreement between the U.S. government and the aliens,” Eshed told Israel’s Yediot Aharonot newspaper. “They signed a contract with us to do experiments here. They, too, are researching and trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they want us as helpers. There’s an underground base in the depths of Mars, where their representatives are, and also our American astronauts.”

Eshed’s remarks resemble those of another retired military man, Col. Philip J. Corso, former Chief of the U.S. Army’s Foreign Technology Division, who alleged in 1997 that the U.S. military “seeded” alien technology from a flying saucer crash to the giants of American industry. Among the technologies allegedly seeded were integrated circuit chips, fiber optics and lasers. (Corso was dismissed by the media as crank.)

Eshed and Corso were military intelligence officers with backgrounds in psychological warfare. Some may believe their claims about extraterrestrials; and who knows, perhaps they are telling the truth. Yet there is no proof of this truth; and one must ask, after all these years, what strategic purpose this persistent rumor of an “alien liaison” might serve. This year, after all, the Pentagon released gun camera footage from U.S. Navy fighters chasing a UFO. The excited communications chatter of the pilots is unmistakable, and so is the astonishing maneuverability of these UFOs. But the question still remains: Was the Pentagon’s curious admission part of a psychological warfare operation?

As a primer on this subject, readers are directed to Jacques Vallee’s book, Revelations: Alien Contact and Human Deception. “The idea that we are about to encounter new enemies in outer space contains unfathomable power,” Vallee wrote. “And the human greed for power explains many miracles.” Vallee suggests that the French, American and Russian governments have faked UFO incidents in decades past; sometimes for intelligence reasons, sometimes for reasons more obscure. The acceleration of such rumors at a time of rising international tension and domestic unrest are suggestive. Whether or not aliens are real, these uncharacteristic military revelations may be a subtle indicator that we have entered a very dangerous period of international tension.

From another perspective, such rumors underscore how intellectually lost we are. People will now believe almost anything. The most insane conspiracy theories are advanced with apparent logic and great fervor. To see these many theories, to count their mistakes of fact and logic, is to make a thinking person grieve. Build a narrative, true or false, and people will come. The more sensational the better. The more it appeals to a wish-fulfillment fantasy, the more readily and vehemently it will be believed. To suspect something is true, and to study it for years, and to always remain a little doubtful, is a very hard thing to do. To know when something is proven, when it is true, is not as easy as most people assume. Human beings are not often good at thinking. Only the most obvious truths are accessible. Everything else is an argument in which the will to believe usually wins out.  

The truth, I fear, is an orphan. Nobody really wants it; first, because it always comes with an implied responsibility; second, because its chances look very poor; and third, it rarely pays. In this Information Age, where garbage comes in and garbage goes out, we are literally surrounded by garbage narratives. The Great Game, it seems, is all about these narratives. The structures of culture, and the structures of politics, are built around symbols from which narratives are spun. The narratives of the left, which now predominate, are slowly disintegrating our social order; that is to say, they are eroding our morale, our social stability and our intellectual integrity. And this is a great boon to our enemies in Beijing in Moscow.

This is a bit abstract, but may be worth considering: Everything in reality is part of a system, or a series of interlocking systems. The various levels of reality are nested, one inside the other. Therefore, facts cannot be understood in isolation, as they appear (almost at random) in newspapers. Facts are snippets of reality – integrated parts of a larger whole. The meaning of a fact becomes clear only when we see the fact in its system context; that is, as part of a larger reality. Understanding is therefore hierarchical because some facts help us see the larger reality better than other facts. Some facts are more important for grasping the truth. This is because reality is not composed of a random series of unorganized items. Reality has logic, relation, and pattern to it. Only when we begin to understand logic, relation and pattern can we arrive at the door of truth.  

Medieval scholars and ancient philosophers knew all this, on some level, centuries ago. We moderns seem to have lost all understanding in favor of specialization; that is, knowing more and more about less and less. We often miss the important facts, and we do not tie things together properly. This may be why our civilization is effectively defenseless against its enemies, foreign and domestic.

The revolution of the left, or the communists, or whatever you want to call them, is a disintegrative project. Its objective is to tear down the existing culture, to strip civilization of its defenses in order to destroy the existing “order.” They want to create a new order, and a new system, discarding the organic process of history in which a culture is formed around a symbol-system. As historians have shown, the several cultures of our civilization were originally formed around Christian symbols and ideals. The communists and their allies want to get rid of those symbols and ideals. They want to eradicate the notion that the universe originated in God’s mind. They agree with Karl Marx’s suggestion that “the ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind and translated into forms of thought.”

At the beginning of Chapter Two in Richard Weaver’s Ideas Have Consequences, he offers a proof that the universe originated in God’s mind. He quotes St. Athanasius: “For if all things had come into being in this automatic fashion, instead of being the outcome of mind, they would all be uniform and without distinction.” The fact that our physical reality, our DNA, is a complex structure proves that intelligence was involved in the making of those structures. Our physical existence is not the result of a blind “process,” like evolution. Athanasius is right. Without God, the raw substance of the physical universe would be uniform and “without distinction.” But the universe is not a field of uniform substance. It is a series of complex systems, one nested inside the other. Imagine, then, what the disintegrative teaching of Karl Marx represents. It is no accident that the left wants to erase the distinction between male and female. The Marxist, as a practicing materialist, is fighting to destroy form in favor of undifferentiated matter. His mission, therefore, is one of absolute destruction. The proof is found in his attempt to obliterate the difference between male and female, the most fundamental distinction of all.

Here is the key to the left’s game. Here is the template, the pattern, the logic and the relation. This is how you turn a civilization into a killing field. Every formation in the material world is born through pain; but it is always born out of the ideas which give form and structure because the divine mind has primacy over matter. “THE most portentous general event of our time is the steady obliteration of those distinctions which create society,” noted Weaver. “rational society is the mirror of the logos, and this means that it has a formal structure which enables apprehension. The preservation of society is therefore directly linked with the recovery of true knowledge.”

Is “true knowledge” something you think about when you watch Joe Biden on TV? At least with Trump you’re going to get a few outrageous references to reality – which is why he makes the left so furious. You see, the left must always have fantasy in place of reality. It must have lies instead of truth. That is how they break down form and break the back of culture itself. They are fomenting moral idiocy, and they have become what they foment.

Look at our leaders today. Do you trust any of these people? Do these people sound knowledgeable or are they pretenders? Are their ideas confused and disintegrative? If so, what is the basis for their leadership? Why should we tolerate them? The answer is simple. People who don’t know what they are doing will – as the English say – “make a pudding.” Worse yet, if they are really stupid (which some of them are), they will fall prey to foreign intelligence networks and end up betraying the country.

In Richard Weaver’s chapter on “Distinction and Hierarchy” he quotes Shakespeare’s lines:

O, when degree is shak’d,
Which is the ladder to all high designs,
Then enterprise is sick! How could communities,
Degrees in schools and brotherhoods in cities,
Peaceful commerce from dividable shores,
The primogenity and due of birth,
Prerogative of age, crowns, scepters, laurels,
But by degree stand in authentic place?
Take but degree away, untune that string,
And hark what discord follows! Each thing meets
In mere oppugnancy. The bounded water
Should shift their bosoms higher than the shores
And make a sop of all this solid globe;
Strength should be lord of imbecility,
And the rude son should strike his father dead;
Force should be right; or rather, right and wrong
(Between whose endless jar justice resides)
Should lose their names, and so should justice too.
Then everything includes itself in power,
Power into will, will into appetite;
And appetite, an universal wolf,
So doubly seconded with will and power,
Must make perforce an universal prey,
And last eat up himself.

Weaver makes the comment that, “The program of social democracy would take away this ‘ladder to all high designs’” that Shakespeare alluded to. In fact, socialism’s leading thinkers have turned away from all “high designs” as well as high-mindedness. The logic of their “system” signifies an unraveling of the social fabric in favor of a bureaucratic hierarchy productive of universal spoliation. And in that bureaucratic hierarchy our domestic enemy lies nested. “The fight is being waged on all fronts,” noted Weaver, “and the most insidious idea employed to break down society is an undefined equalitarianism.” This equalitarianism, he noted, “is harmful because it always presents itself as a redress of injustice, whereas in truth it is the very opposite.”

Think of AOC, think of Nancy Pelosi when you read Weaver’s next line: “[it is] obvious to any candid observer, that ‘equality’ is found most often in the mouths of those engaged in artful self-promotion.” And self-promotion is exactly what they do, at America’s expense. Stopping these monsters in heels will be the political challenge of 2021. Whatever happens in the coming year, a dark culmination is indicated. If that sounds a little sinister, or disturbing, then set aside your complacency. A time of decision is upon us.

  1. Psalm 2
    1
    Why do the nations rage,
    And the people plot a vain thing?
    2
    The kings of the earth set themselves,
    And the rulers take counsel together,
    Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
    3
    “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
    And cast away Their cords from us.”
    4
    He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
    The Lord shall hold them in derision.
    5
    Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
    And distress them in His deep displeasure:
    6
    “Yet I have set My King
    On My holy hill of Zion.”
    7
    “I will declare the decree:
    The Lord has said to Me,
    ‘You are My Son,
    Today I have begotten You.
    8
    Ask of Me, and I will give You
    The nations for Your inheritance,
    And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
    9
    You shall break them with a rod of iron;
    You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
    10
    Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
    Be instructed, you rulers of the earth.
    11
    Serve the Lord with fear,
    And rejoice with trembling.
    12
    Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
    And you perish in the way,
    When His wrath is kindled but a little.
    Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

    1. Here is a verse that was in my devotional yesterday from Isaiah 42:13 (NLT) :

      “The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero;
      he will come out like a warrior, full of fury.
      He will shout his battle cry
      and crush all his enemies.”

      Amen!

    2. That psalm is about the end times anointed man.
      Not Jesus.
      God is in total control now.
      America is Laodecia. Lukewarm at best, faith but no obedience, don’t event bigger to remember the a sabbath and holy feast days.
      Repent, and soon, or you’ll be spewed out.
      Buy the fine good I am offering you now.

      1. It is totally about Jesus Christ and God has installed him at his right hand. This is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament.

  2. CIA analyst Ray McGovern recently recalled a statement made in 1981 by then-CIA Director William Casey during the first meeting of President Ronald Reagan’s Cabinet. Casey told this gathering, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

    Happy New Year

    1. And how do you know this is true? Clearly the falsehoods of our day come from the communist left, not from Reagan’s CIA director. Haven’t you read George Orwell? He wrote of socialism as a system of lies. He did not write about capitalism as a system of lies. You have inverted reality here. And this little note from you, itself, is yet another lie — along with the bogus testimony of Ray McGovern. You have unwittingly helped me to prove CIA is a weak organization, penetrated by the Soviet Union, with traitorous “analysts” telling absurd stories out of school. What universal lie did William Casey promote? Let’s catch him out, shall we? Was it a lie when Reagan said the USSR was an “evil empire”? Are you disputing this premise? Have you read the “Gulag Archipelago” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn? As an American anti-communist why would Casey want the American public to believe only lies when the truth is all we really need? What evil cause do you think Casey was serving? Are you suggesting Reagan was evil? Reagan would not have tolerated the idea of deceiving the American people. Do you even know who Reagan was? This claim is nonsense.

      1. Jeff, it is certainly disinformation, or taken so far out of context that repetition of it is in effect disinformation. Which was not my point in repeating it.
        My point in repeating it was that this, and many more statements by “traitorous analysts” or shall we say “useful idiots,” out there are in effect a significant part of the “Challenge of 2021.”
        (I should endeavor to achieve greater clarity. Sorry.)
        Lost time is never found again and we have lost a hell of lot of it.

        Also: “They are fomenting moral idiocy, and they have become what they foment.”
        This is a gem. It is brilliant. Bravo.

  3. A great essay to cap off the year. Thanks for all the knowledge and insight. I always learn a lot when I visit. Despite the forebodings of 2021, may it be our best yet. May God grant us discernment and resilience. Happy New Year.

  4. Thanks for your persistent admonitions. So many lies today parade as truth: evolution; “diversity is our strength”; “social justice;” social distancing/lockdowns The dead giveaway to the falsity and perverseness of these assertions is that no dissent is tolerated; rather the dissenter is isolated and punished. This is because the truth is a silver bullet that devastates such nonsense and therefore must be silenced. Exhibit A would be the crackdowns by big social media on truth-tellers under the guise of fostering inclusiveness, stamping out “fake news,” or similar charades.

    In the end I believe that the truth, spoken by a courageous remnant, will ultimately prevail, because it has so much more power than lies. But the road to this renewal will surely get meaner and darker before that happens.

    2. Speaking of fake news, most people are living in terrible fear of Covid deaths, and yet look at what was written by a student at Johns Hopkins and published in their newsletter :

      “Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.”

  5. Thank you Jeff! Here is a more in-depth article about Patrick Byrne that we were talking about in the last blog:

    China is taking us out from within:

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/patrick-byrne-china-is-taking-us-out-from-within_3637007.html?utm_source=morningbrief&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mb-2020-12-31

    Education MUST change! Our schools and especially our colleges are where many minds are being poisoned and brainwashed. Most of the professors aren’t truly vetted. Their resumes look great, but very few are actually monitored for the content of what they say.

    Have you seen the new series that The Epoch Times is doing: “How The Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World” ? I think people really ARE starting to wake up! That’s why I’m encouraging you to keep doing what you’re doing! 🙂

    1. These kind of reports are coming in from various sources. I have reports about China’s war preparations from military people, government people, and journalists. They are seriously wanting war. Why are they so urgent? Hard to say.

      1. What do you make of this Galactic Federation and do you really think Trump is in touch with aliens? If the Chinese believe that, it seems to me like the last thing they would want is war.

      2. A Galactic Federation sounds like something out of Star Trek. I don’t think our universe lends itself to a Star Trek type of outcome. Let’s say the U.S. Government was contacted by “beings from elsewhere.” How would we know what they were, let alone where they were from? And why would they contact us? They could literally tell us anything about themselves and how would we know any different? As I wrote earlier in this thread, I know people who were given official briefings on aliens. Famous scientists were at these gatherings. A Galactic Federation was not part of these briefings. It seems to me the whole thing might have been a psychological warfare experiment. But I do not know. A former intelligence officer told me years ago about GRU involvement in UFO abductions here in the United States. The Soviets supposedly developed very advanced “mind control” drugs. Soviet mind control is a subject the late Joe Douglass was working on at the time of his death, and that is a vast subject on its own which may be related. At any rate: — Imagine kidnapping people in a remote area, subjecting them to drugs and hypnosis, then releasing them in a confused state. What would those people remember? What could reliably be said about their experiences? What effects were the experimenters trying to produce? I was told these abductions were related to operations prepared in advance of an all-out war in which “programmed” people could be implanted with explosive devices and detonated. I have no idea if this information is true or false. Again, you can hardly trust a feral intelligence operative. But there it is. Again, the Galactic Federation idea sounds silly to me.

      3. I don’t believe aliens exist; this creation we are in has been cursed for our sake, which means we are the highest beings in it.

      4. Xi fears he is losing power.
        The virus has caused China a loss of face and economic power in the world.
        When that happens to some countries, they turn to war to try and re-assert themselves.
        It will only make things worse for Xi and for China, if Xi follows that path.

  7. The world is ruled by Betrayal and Communists. And it could be said that no one can destroy this absolute power of Moscow and Beijing anymore. However, several significant phenomena have occurred this year.
    For example, the massive floods in China, or the great conjunction of the planets (Star of Bethlehem) after 800 years, on December 21st. And completely new news: on December 21, an amazing archeological find was announced in the Czech Republic:
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9079801/Nail-Christs-crucifixion-inside-box-inscribed-Jesus-King-Czech-monastery.html

    [Meanwhile, the Communists fiercely destroyed the largest radio telescope – Arecibo (a competitor to China’s spherical telescope FAST), although global science is already serving the Communists (see: concealing the synthetic origins of Covid-19)].
    https://www.sciencenews.org/article/arecibo-telescope-collapse-loss-big-deal-astronomy-video

    The Communists are, of course, trying to ensure that the massive floods in China are quickly forgotten. However, our Western civilization stands on truth and human memory. Good people, don’t forget that!

    Happy New Year

    1. How fascinating about the nail! I hadn’t heard about that. The gold cross was really old, so maybe! Thank you for sharing that! 🙂

      1. Thank you.
        Yes, it is a very important archaeological find.
        In 326–28 AD, Empress Helena (mother of Roman emperor Constantine the Great) undertook a trip to Palestine. There she conducted an “archaeological survey” and found a True Cross and nails.
        The box (reliquary) was built between 260 and 416 AD, so it may indeed be a nail found by Empress Helena.
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena,_mother_of_Constantine_I

        In addition, the finding was announced on December 21, 2020, at the time of the close conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, which is considered the light of the Star of Bethlehem 7 BC. It is possible that the heavenly sign indicates: “People, you have found the real nail of the True Cross!”
        I have studied the whole story of the find and it is very credible. The monastery was the richest monastery in this area and the entire reliquary was hidden in an ingenious hiding place. In the coming months, the metallurgy composition of the nail and other historical circumstances will be examined.

        Happy New Year

  8. Jeff, I am curious to hear your opinion on the UFO phenomenon. You discuss it somewhat in “The Fool and His Enemy”, in terms of supernatural signs and warnings, but could you elaborate on its strategic significance? Also, do you think that government possess extremely advanced technology, regardless of its origins, that could have an effect on the coming battle. Thank you for everything that you write, and Happy New Year!

    1. I have no direct knowledge of super-secret weapons, just knowledge of the murky swirl of rumor surrounding such things. Certainly, stories have reached me of very advanced American weapons developed through our expanded black budget. Are these programs a swindle, as are most government programs? Do the Russians have similar projects? Has our advanced science been pilfered? I don’t know, but I’d say it’s likely. I met an American physicist more than two decades ago who told me that UFOs were used to hide certain secret developments in physics. As he was no longer part of such projects he had only a vague notion of what these weapons might be and what military applications might follow therefrom. Always, such experimental weapons are horrifying to contemplate. As for the scientific literature on UFOs, one ought to have a background in comparative mythology and Jungian psychology to venture there. After decades of investigating UFOs, Vallee states that the phenomenon is connected with symbols and symbolic meanings; he postulates an inter-dimensional source. This theory sounds like a scientized version of what the medieval Schoolmen or occultists might have said about UFOs. In terms of the “science” of psychology, Jung’s book on flying saucers deals almost entirely with archetypes which he says are mysterious “living” beings active within our unconscious minds — or even the “collective unconscious.” If we used theological language to describe the phenomenon we might end up discussing hierarchies of angels, or like the paranoid John A. Keel we might say that “demonology is not just another crackpot ology.” Again, a murky area of inquiry full of speculation both intelligent and unintelligent. Are UFOs physically real at all? I know people who have been given briefings on extraterrestrials. Were those briefings a form of psychological warfare? I do not know. But the phenomenon is at least partly spiritual insofar as it unfolds in the mind and soul of those affected. All of this goes to underscore what Vallee referred to in his TED Talk on the future of physics; namely, that information is the missing element in the science of physics, which indirectly affirms important aspects of Richard Weaver’s thesis in “Ideas Have Consequences.” Slyly taking a hint from Plato, and mixing it with computer science terminology, Vallee offers us one more “metaphor” for a universe that is far from being predicated on matter, but readily shown to be predicated on ideas (i.e., information organized by mind). The discussion also lends itself to what Soviet laser physicist Gen. Victor Kulish, the scientific genius behind the failed Soviet Stars Wars program, called “the God of the system”; that is, a universe of systems nested inside systems under a spiritual hierarchy — or hierarchy of mind — that manufactures physical reality out of its organizing intelligence. The physical universe, he assured me, is a product of God’s mind. His book on laser physics goes into great detail on this. He told me some years ago that he spent a year working on mathematical equations and found an equation that proved God’s existence; but as a Soviet atheist it was quite a shock. Kulish had a spiritual awakening from his discovery. His book on laser physics has fascinating parallels with the metaphysics of Aristotle and Schopenhauer. He has unique proofs that affirm metaphysics — which Marxism debunks — from an unexpected scientific angle. Returning to the subject of weapons, our allies abroad are being reassured that China will be wiped out if they attack. Given what is known about our leaders, I am doubtful but not without hope.

      1. “He told me some years ago that he spent a year working on mathematical equations and found an equation that proved God’s existence; but as a Soviet atheist it was quite a shock.”

        I bet! I’m not surprised he had a spiritual awakening after that. 🙂

      2. Jeff, thanks for your reply. I find your view of UFOs compelling. I have always considered the phenomenon a great mystery, and the explanations you propose are among the most coherent I have heard. It seems to me that there would be a great historical injustice in the communists being defeated by a secret technological weapon. It would be the ultimate victory for American complacency, the last man victorious through material technology. An American victory achieved without sacrifice or suffering might in the long run be worse than a temporary communist military victory, because the spiritual rot at the heart of America would be not be healed, but perpetuated.

      3. You raise a very important point which Richard Weaver usually touched on when writing about the Cold War. One ought to view reality from the standpoint of higher principles — philosophic and strategic. If we have done everything wrong in our policies, if we have erred at every turn, how could we win with a trick weapon? The enemy succeeds by corrupting us, by converting us to their philosophy. And so, we have been subverted from within. How does a super-weapon undo our this? It cannot. As with 22 June 1941, when the communists suffered a great defeat, the setback proves temporary. Why? Because the principles underlying their larger strategy were sounder than those of a makeshift preemptive attack which lacked the wherewithal for a follow-through. Even if we had a as super weapon, we would still be led by creatures like Joe Biden. Victory under such circumstances is not merely unlikely. It is impossible.

      4. Jeff, there is good evidence from researchers that UFOs are demonic manifestations. their craft’s travel movements defy normal physical laws which makes me believe they indeed are inter-dimensional as in a spiritual manifestation. The bible says Satan is the prince of the power of the air so that would make sense these could be demonic. Also men and women and children who have experienced “alien” being in person all have similar highly negative emotions concerning their encounters and many of them have communicated their dismissal of Jesus Christ and God. So if they were actually aliens why would they have evil intentions and are anti-God unless they indeed are enemies of the God of the bible.

  9. Mr. JR Nyquist, with deep gratitude, I thank you! Your mind and written expressions do not cease to amaze me. Your wordcraft is opening my mind in unexpected ways.

    Curiously, you have written about the US and Israel’s divulgence of Alien technological involvement in our affairs. That, combined with our loss of truthfulness in our society, are portending havoc. We have lost our true north, and media lies are manipulating all that we perceive.

    My curiosity is piqued because I have heard a lot on this subject of late. So much so that I could write for hours on the subject. I will try to condense a little of that here.

    John Whiteside Parsons founded Jet Propulsion Laboratories. He was heavily involved in the Occult and a friend of L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology. Together they performed occultic rituals that have purportedly opened a Portal or Stargate in the late 1940s.

    At this point in history, UFO sightings began to explode across the country. Additionally, various otherworldly events began to manifest; “Area 51” arrived on the scene at this time, and others. These events attracted the US Governments’ attention. Reports suggest that our government became involved in communication with the entities that had come through these “portals.”

    While all of these reports seem too “crazy” to believe, we should pay attention to them because the world is increasingly doing so. There have been thousands of accounts of encounters; something is going on.

    Reports of Parsons and Hubbard:

    An analysis of what has happened since the opening of the Portals:
    https://youtu.be/WycHllG8miE

    1. Oh yes, I’ve heard about Parsons and Hubbard. It is a story that merits attention. As I’m sure you know, these two occult practitioners were linked with the infamous Aleister Crowley, author of the book “Magick”. You would be interested to know that Crowleyism infected the children of top Soviet officials in the late 1970s and 80s. Some of these were the children of generals, like Alexander Dugin (son of a GRU general) — whose dabblings in Crowleyism are well known in former Soviet circles. Dugin was recruited by the KGB through his interest in the occult. The KGB lured him with the promise of opening their files on occult organizations and secret societies. Dugin could not resist and found himself obligated to the secret ruling structures of the post-Soviet order. I have taken an interest in Dugin’s writings, which use a very curious and twisty method of holding true to the Marxian nihilism by way of new interpretations. Marx was, in his own way, a black magician of a kind, whose formula was the inversion of classical ontology and theology. In this way Marx brought great evil into the world. Dugin pulls the Marxist wagon because he signed up; but his heart is not entirely in it. In truth, he is quite gifted in creative intelligence, but is by no means an honest theoretician or a good human being. If he were honest, he would be in direct conflict with his bosses (and perhaps this accounts for his demotion, since they knew he was never a true-believer in Marxism). The KGB got more than the bargained for in him, though they needed a conduit for manipulating Europe’s right wing occult fraternities. Of course, as the communists learned in the case of Hitler, it’s not always safe to manipulate right wing intuitives. Dugin was educated, I believe, as a Soviet engineer. But engineering really didn’t interest him. All these people who are educated in physics or related subjects can become disenchanted with materialism and its meaningless premises. This is what will ultimately break up communism in the end, with mixed results. My own suspicion is that Dugin was able to reconcile his occultism with the hidden Marxism of the post-Soviet “structures” because of his desire for secret knowledge, which is the trap into which every black magician falls. Of course, the KGB has been engaged in occult practices since the 1950s if not earlier, as they always assumed there was a scientific explanation for any attending phenomena. Nikolai Khokhlov, a KGB defector of the late 1950s, told a friend of mine in the 1990s about things he saw in the sub-basements of the Lubyanka that would make your hair stand straight up. Given the predominance of materialism in science, and materialism’s failure to align with the discoveries of quantum physics (as well as Darwinism’s failures), the Marxist philosophy is doomed to collapse when science itself returns to metaphysics. We must remember that physics was once part of “natural philosophy.” I believe it must return to that position. I had a boyhood friend who became a graduate student in physics in the 1980s. I saw him after his first year of graduate studies. He asked me a curious question. “Do you believe in the occult?” Then he told me that everything he was studying at the graduate level tended toward the supernatural. He had always been inclined to materialism, and could not wrap his head around quantum physics. There were other young scientists I knew who found their materialist assumptions shattered by direct confrontations with the inexplicable. When I was a senior at UC Irvine, I spent a lot of time hanging around the psychology Deptartment because they had the best Chess and Go players. By chance I fell in with a parapsychologist who had designed the experiments for testing the Israeli psychic Uri Geller. This young scientist privately told me things that were impossible to believe. He was originally a mathematical psychologist who designed experiements. But his experiences with Geller led him into parapsychology. He has since left the field disgusted by the polemics and controversey.

      All of this goes to affirming Hamlet’s famous line, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” We are not good judges of what is crazy or true. It seems that the universe is built up through ideas, through divine intelligence, with human intelligence adding its small contribution. The black magicians, like Parsons and Hubbard, want to be godlike. A mistake, of course. A very serious mistake.

      1. Thank you, your confirmations have bolstered my understanding.
        The second link, the video, takes it all to a new level. Those of the spiritual persuasion consider the entities to be ancient gods restored, given entry, for such a time as this. These entities do possess “hidden knowledge,” which some purport to be advanced technologies. Historically, humankind has requested and received advanced technology from these beings, at a price. These entities are currently masquerading as aliens as part of the “great deception” coming upon the earth. The aliens will save us may yet be the clarion call of our politicians.
        Just my two-cents, and with inflation, that ain’t much.

      2. Vallee actually wrote a book on alien salvation cults titled “Messengers of Deception,” and there is a famous sociological study of a UFO cult titled “When Prophecy Fails.” The late John A. Keel was very insistent on the deceptive and demonic nature of “aliens.” He did not think they were from other planets, but called them “ultraterrestrials,” denizens of “the electromagnetic spectrum” or super-spectrum. He claimed to have directly interacted with them. Machiavelli touches on this concept in his Discourses on Livy. Plutarch also mentions it, as does Livy, who relates some very bizarre phenomena from antiquity. Benvenito Cellini’s famous autobiography contains a bizarre summoning scene out of the Sorcerer’s apprentice. What to make of it? — something, to be sure.

      4. Jeff : I’m sure you won’t deign to respond to this since you never have when i comment , but did you consider that this UFO business is satan’s handiwork. As you know, we are in a spiritual battle and this occultism certainly encourages the devil.Communism and degraded culture are also vehicles. Ive been following you since your WND days and i agree with just about everything you say and write. However, i think you are wrong about E . Michael Jones.

      5. We certainly ought to take seriously the suggestion that UFOs are minions of a Satanic realm or dimension; though I doubt we could ever have a very clear idea what such a realm actually consists in; that is, a kind of anti-existence kryptonite formed in an immaterial dimension of anti-universals; an inverted Platonic principality opposed to our very existence — opposed to the source of our being in God. It is doubtful we could even grasp, let alone imagine, all this would imply. Given our mortal intelligence, the idea of unsubstantial vampiric shadow forms might bring us to the edge of madness. The proposition that such shadow forms are somehow capable of “transmogrification,” and could materialize as flying saucers, is something out of H.P. Lovecraft’s imagination and John A. Keel’s paranoia.

        Could there exist specters of anti-existence? Yes. One should take this seriously, especially as a moral insight into reality. Evil is real. It has specific characteristics which are often misunderstood, and touch upon our physical existence. But, would it not be dangerous for our sanity to misconstrue such potentialities by misidentifying them? They are mystifying. I avoid discussing specters of this kind because i do not want to mentally summon what I do not fully understand. There is a parallel here: We know about the frightful Babylonian formula for summoning the seven wicked spirits, found in the ruins of Nineveh. Rulers once turned to dark entities as our modern rulers have turned to socialism. Azurbanibal’s library, in which these literary abominations were found, was located across the street from a building dedicated to exorcisms; which brings me to E. Michael Jones. The partial truth which obsesses him belongs to a theological disagreement between the Christian and the Jew. Jones’s blindness in this matter derives from his inability to correctly see how this relates to an older disagreement between pagan and Jew — which continues on the periphery of Christian thought. The dogmatizing brilliance which possesses Jones, has lost its metaphoric sense along with its benevolence. Losing site of wisdom, he descends into intellectual brutality. Please forgive me, if you can. Theology should not resolve itself in a blanket ethnic cartoon — in a Jewish stick figure stereotype. Should a race of men be used to symbolize evil? I believe that Jones has misconstrued the spirit of Jewish thought from which Christianity emerged. He depicts Judaism as intellectual degradation and wickedness. Is there no exaggeration here? Is not there something demonic in Jones’s obscene shadow projections? — in the self-righteous belief that he possesses final theological truth (though human intelligence is clearly unequal to knowledge at this level). I find something profoundly troubling in his formulations. No doubt he is brilliant and fascinating. But there is something dark behind his Jewish obsession. The problem we face is not Judaism. Our problem has a much broader, trans-ethnic basis.

      6. For me, Marxism is the political system of the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit in Revelation 11 and, when or shortly after it fully or almost fully occupies or possesses the feet of iron and clay in Nebuchadnezzar’s image in Daniel 2, it will be destroyed by, or as a direct consequence of, the “stone cut out without hands” aka the Kingdom of Heaven as it emerges gloriously on earth, which seems to align with Satan’s binding to prevent him from deceiving the nations any more. Now, this new golden age will be attended by many side benefits on earth, one of which will be an end to secrecy surrounding scientific evidence of God’s existence, but communism will not expire on metaphysical disclosure, but rather, on the working of the Spirit of God in the hearts of humanity. So, to reiterate, an unprecedented work of God in converting sinners worldwide will lead to all manner of temporal bounties: healthcare transformed via agape love infused altruism rather than profit margins for big pharma, bureaucratic madness like asking for permission to build or do whatever you please on your own land will end, fractional reserve banking and evil taxation will be gone, along with inflation and all manner of worldly evils. Not without reason is petitioning the Father, “Thy Kingdom come”, the first order of business in the Lord’s Prayer after revering the Father’s Name. So yes, communism is doomed to utter ruin, but it only comes as a consequence of the commencement of the golden age of Daniel 2. If anyone loves the Lord, pray that part of the Lord’s Prayer even more mindfully and enthusiastically than ever before!

  11. I sincerely doubt that the United States is going to confiscate all means of production, but government is already using Fascist tactics to utilize business to coerce people to do as they are told. ETs are in my opinion as a contactee, to be fallen angels. Carl Sagan wrote his final book about it, but apparently he had no direct experience on which to base his conclusions that the phenomenon is merely psychological. Interestingly, that book would seem to be a contradiction of his assertion that with billions and billions of stars, that there must be life out there.

    The COVID-19 “scamdemic” is 5% virus, 95% propaganda.

    1. Do you know if the vaccine has been rolled out in countries other than the Anglo-Saxon ones so far? I obviously exclude Russia’s Sputnik jab from this line of thought… The question has arisen because there has been a uptick in hostility from the Marxist Wokerati against Anglo Saxons in the past year, esp. white men.

      3. Well, a friend of mine did some quick research and would you believe it, the Anglo nations are the ones leading the pack in ordering the vaccine, as per the “best and worst supplied” chart on this page:

        https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03370-6

        One of my suspicions is that the vaccine has been designed in some way to debilitate the peoples on this earth with the most entrenched sense of liberty.

      5. I’m suggesting that the enemies of liberty aka the pan-communist front might have engineered the whole crisis to sicken / weaken / otherwise neutralise vast swathes of the population in those countries where liberty most abounds, esp. the US and UK, as a prelude to either war or usurpation by some other means. With so many of our politicians and corporations now on-side with the Marxist agenda, nothing of that nature would shock me.

  16. COVID-19 Relief Bill Includes Provision To Have The Pentagon And U.S. Intel Agencies To Reveal All UFO Information

    Daily Mail: Donald Trump signing coronavirus bill kicked off 180-day countdown for Pentagon and spy agencies to reveal to Intelligence Committee EVERYTHING they know about UFOs

    * Several measures snuck their way into the $2.3 trillion coroanvirus relief and government funding joint package
    * One is a requirement that the Pentagon and spy agencies report to the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees everything they know about UFOs
    * It gives the relevant agencies 180 days from the time of President Donald Trump’s signature on Sunday to share the information
    * The measure flew under that radar as it was included as a comment from the Intelligence Committee, chaired by Florida Senator Marco Rubio
    * The push for more transparency on unidentified flying objects comes after the Pentagon’s published in April three Navy videos showing proof of such sightings

    A lot of measures made their way into the $2.3 trillion COVID relief and government funding bill, including setting a timeline for the Defense Department and spy agencies to reveal all they know about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

    The provision flew under the radar as it was included as a ‘committee comment’ from Senate Intelligence Committee Acting Chairman Marco Rubio rolled into the annual intelligence authorization act rather than in the text of the 5,593-page massive funding and relief legislation.

  17. China Amends Its National Defense Law To Clarify Its Role In International Situations

    Global Times: New national defense law to protect China’s development interests

    China’s newly amended national defense law will come into effect on January 1, 2021. It was approved at a session of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, on Saturday, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

    There are several reasons why the national defense law was amended at this time. After the fresh round of military reforms, the capability of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been remarkably improved. It is necessary for the PLA to undertake more work to defend national security, sovereignty and development interests. Furthermore, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. In this respect, the national defense law should adjust according to the new international situation and China’s strategic changes.

  19. UFOs & Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites eBook: Hastings, Robert L. UFOs are real and the occupants are extremely interested in our nuclear weapons. Like disabling them.

  20. I don’t want to derail from Jeff’s excellent essay but I need to respond to the mention here of aliens and UFOs etc.

    I think the Bible is very clear that there were angels that rebelled against God and His authority led by Satan, Lucifer, the devil. This is very clear from Revelation 12:7 “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

    Jesus states this: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” -Luke 10:18

    And Jesus’ brother Jude wrote: “The angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

    The Apostle Peter wrote: “God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to tartarus and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment.” (tartarus – a Greek word that describes the blackness of darkness)

    And the Apostle Paul wrote that our battle is primarily against these evil spirits: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.” -Ephesians 6:10-18

    Paul also wrote that Satan is able to appear as an angel of light: “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” -2Cor. 11:14

    Revelation reveals that in the end God will allow Satan to go to all the world to deceive the whole world:
    “For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” -Revelation 16:14

    I’m a Christian Pastor and many liberal Christians have debunked Satan and made evil simply a metaphysical dark side to light and good. Satan has used higher learning to make him disappear. It is a great mistake to not believe in what the Bible teaches is the real reason for the corruption that is in the world. Satan and his angels fell and are now quarantined on the earth until judgment day. While they are here all we can say is woe woe woe as we behold the evil everywhere. But his day is coming.

    I write this because Satan is able to “perform great signs and wonders” according to Jesus. I believe Satan was behind Fatima and many of the great supernatural things in Catholicism and Pentecostalism. I believe he is behind the UFO/Alien phenomena. He can appear as an “angel of light”. It is very possible that he will be allowed to appear to this world and pretend to be an ambassador from God to bring peace to our troubled world. But at the least we should realize that he is in control of the leaders of this world at the present time. Communism/Socialism/Totalitarianism are his favorite forms of government and it’s coming to the USA.

    The only Salvation will be the return of Jesus who will throw Satan and his angels into the Lake of Fire, Revelation 20:10-15.

    We are witnessing the final stage in the plan of salvation. Soon everyone will align with the Beast or with Christ, even if it means death. Rev. 12:11 “They love not their lives even unto the death.”

    Sorry to have written all of this but with all this talk of UFOs and Aliens on this thread I had to state what the Bible teaches about the reality of fallen angels and their existence among us. Be very careful of the intellectual philosophizers and liberal theologians who want to dismiss literal evil spirits.

    1. I don’t think anyone here is dismissing literal evil spirits. But in mixed company, with people from different theological backgrounds, there are many things we cannot safely discuss without blowing ourselves up. For example, I understand why you think Fatima is demonic. Your Protestant theology leads you to this judgment. The Virgin Mary is not someone we Protestants pray to. And it makes us uncomfortable. I understand this very well. Ask yourself, honestly, what we actually know about these Marian apparitions? It is a long-standing phenomenon. Is it inconceivable that God could send a sign by way of the Virgin Mary to people in a Catholic country? If someone said it was Elijah at Fatima would you be more inclined to believe it? If Elijah and Moses could be sent on a visitation, why not the mother of Christ? I do not know the answer but merely ask the question. How do we know which Christian theologies are right? How do we know that God does not meet us halfway (as our wisdom in such matters is foolishness to Him)? Although the Catholic teaching on this makes me uncomfortable as a Protestant I must admit that a miraculous event took place at Fatima, and that event warned about communism spreading throughout the world. That strikes me as a true prophetic warning. It goes against my own theology, but it nonetheless rings true. It makes me ask the question: What theology is God’s, truly, and what part of theology belongs to our own conceit? One ought to let God speak in his way. Spiritual experience is complicated — more than our simplistic formulas allow. “Experience,” after all, is the operative word, together with the word “mystery.” Does God require theology from us? — because, frankly, I do not think mysteries of this degree are fully accessible to mortals. People of good will — serious Christian people — exist on both sides of the Fatima issue. Perhaps Protestants should reserve judgment on this. The whole reason the secular state evolved into the monster we see today is because of the wars of religion between Protestants and Catholics. Each declared the other to be wrong. Each side burned heretics at the stake. — Was this right? Do we want such things to recur? No. Besides: Christianity is threatened with extermination by something that all our theologies agree is evil (something the Fatima event warned us against). Perhaps this evil is intended to serve the purpose of reuniting Christians and renewing the faith. At any rate, i remain guardedly open-minded about Fatima. We can only judge as we may, by the light God gave us. I am not a Biblical literalist, though I do believe in evil spirits. The supernatural is not a metaphor, though metaphor is partly how it operates.

      1. Hi Jeff. I pray you have a blessed new year although I suspect it will be much worse than 2020.

        I want to first thank you for your reply. There is much to think about there. I want to first say that I agree with you that there are serious people in both Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as in the many sects of Christianity. So we are not judging believers here but objectively looking at an event. And let’s make no mistake about it, Fatima is the largest event in the Catholic Church. All the Popes accept it as a real event and it is accepted as true. Cris Putnum has done some excellent research on this event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjHFNye0UK4 In this short YTube he shows that what the people saw that day was not a ‘dancing sun’ but a spaceship. Putnum shows the pictures of what the people said they really saw.

        This event happened in1917, the year the Bolsheviks revolted, so the timing does make the event a timely event. But I would counter with this. The Bible teaches that Satan would lead a totalitarian effort after the breakdown of the Holy Roman Empire. See Revelation 17:12ff. The nations would be of one mind as they removed the religious power in Europe from the political scene. And that is exactly what has happened in the secular political environment today where Science and Humanism reigns and where Christ has been deposed. What if Satan used to truth to deceive people by the means it was conveyed at Fatima? In other words, now people are open to Signs in the sky and Mary speaking. Maybe that was his object all along.

        What actually took place in Fatima is that truth is said to come from Mary to three young children in the midst of supernatural phenomena and not the Word of God. What if something similar were to happen again? Will we believe in a ‘dancing sun’ and the words of 3 young children in a foreign country? Are we not better to consult the Word of God concerning truth and prophecy? The Bible warns us about the great signs and wonders the Devil will perform especially in the end.

        What if Satan saw that God was permitting communism to rise up as a result of the rejection of the Reformation that gave Europe and the world the Bible as the only Source for prophetic truth? What if communism is God’s judgment against the nations for rejecting the Good News that Christ is Risen and Reigning at the right hand of God? He raised up Assyria to destroy the 10 tribes as revealed in the prophets because of their idolatry and apostasy. He raised up Babylon to destroy Israel because of their apostasy (see Habakkuk) and He raised up Rome to destroy Israel a second time because of their rejection of the Messiah! I believe the Scriptures teach that God is NOW allowing Satan to raise up totalitarian government once again as a punishment against the nations that as a whole have rejected Christ as Ruler. And then just like He did to Assyria, Babylon and Rome, after He uses them He destroys them. So Communism is a Judgment of God on the apostasy of Europe ( see WW1 and WW2), and now because of the apostasy of the USA, it is being used as a Judgment on our nation.

        The best counterfeit consists of mostly truth. In the case of Fatima, the danger is not the message as it is in the way it was conveyed and revealed. In believing the message, it affirms a belief that God can speak through supernatural signs and wonders that can supersede the Bible. Please note the Scriptures that speak of how Satan will use signs and wonders to deceive the people in the end:

        Matthew 24
        4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

        2 Thessalonians 2:9 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie.”

        Revelation 16:14 “For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them…”

        The above texts are warnings about how Satan will attempt to deceive God’s people by great signs and wonders. I believe this UFO and Alien phenomena is a part of this great deception as Satan leads the whole world to look to Ancient Aliens as the Originators of life on Earth (panspermia). He now has the whole world looking to the Heavens for the answer to the world’s dilemma. The Muslims are looking for the Mahdi; the Buddhists look for Maitreya; the Jews are still looking for their Messiah to appear; the secular humanists/evolutionists are looking for alien civilizations; and even Christians are looking for a special appearance of Christ to Jerusalem. All people are looking for a supernatural intervention. It is a perfect time for him to appear as “an angel of light”. Most will believe this “strong delusion” instead of what the Bible teaches about Christ’s Return as the only Hope and answer to the darkness in this world. When Christ does return history is over. See 2 Peter 3 and Luke 21.

        I encourage you to view the short YouTube by Putnum linked above or buy his book, “Exo-Vaticana” about how Satan wants to use the power of the Papacy to once again deceive God’s people. A strong Delusion is surely coming. Only those who hold to the Scriptures and love righteousness will be safe. Putnam shows how that what the people saw that day was not a ‘dancing sun’ but a spaceship! Putnum has pictures. The great deception is that Mary can come and speak to us at any time. And many in the church are looking to her instead of the Bible. True Protestant Reformers continue to protest and preach reformation of the Christian Religion which consists of BOTH Catholicism AND apostate Protestantism. Like Jesus and the Apostles we should not be afraid of speaking the truth in love to our fellow believers. I was once Roman Catholic until I was led to study the Bible for myself at the age of 23 after returning from Nam.

        Yes, God sent Elijah and Moses to Jesus and the 3 disciples, but that was before there was a New Testament. We now have in the Bible all we need to know about God and what He is up to and why the world is the way it is. The last book in the Bible, Revelation, is God’s final prophetic word. And anyone to adds to it is accursed. We need no more outside sources. And we need to beware of what Satan will do here in the end to deceive the whole world by using another “Fatima”. I speak these things in Christian love to you my brother and all that read here. Totalitarianism is about to embrace the whole world and persecution is near. I seriously doubt any of us are ready for what is about to happen. My counsel to my people is to stay close to Jesus, Psalm 46 and 91. Peace

      2. These points bear close consideration. Everything here depends on interpretation. Relying on the Bible, it is worth mentioning that the Scriptures are full of similar manifestations, so that secular people have claimed that Moses’ burning bush was a UFO. There are flaming chariots and wheels within wheels, the Star of Bethlehem, etc. What are we supposed to do here? Apply the same method used to say Fatima was a “spaceship” to say the Scriptures are about spaceships? Even UFOlogist Jacques Vallee denies there was a spaceship at Fatima. He does not believe UFOs are from space. At the same time, stepping outside his UFO expertise into politics, he sees the Fatima warning about communism as “absurd,” which it clearly is not. So one must ask: who is wise when it comes to these things? Certainly we should be on guard against demonic deception. We ought to judge supernatural manifestations by the fruits they bear. Are the Marian apparitions of the last two centuries all demonic? Did no healings occur? Was there no renewal of faith? Are Catholics possessed by demons? The last question seems grotesque to me. I do not think we can ask some of these questions without of making Protestants and Catholics angry at each other. Please note: It is alleged that some Pentecostals are interacting with demons. Here we enter into religious controversies that take us away from the question of the communist threat into questions of theological controversy. Not being a theologian, not having the philosophic or religious training to venture further, I have no additional comments to make. Readers must judge for themselves.

      3. “Perhaps this evil is intended to serve the purpose of reuniting Christians and renewing the faith.”

        For many of the Christians I know, they have been praying more in the past few months than they have in their entire lives, so I think you’re right. An “awakening” or “eye-opening” is occurring, and that is a good thing. 🙂

      4. Thanks, Jeff, for your reply. I don’t think my understanding of Fatima is simply based upon my being a Protestant. I was born and raised a Roman Catholic. My understanding is informed by the Scriptures. And what Christ and the Apostles warned us against is deception…over and over again. Look at these Scripture warnings:
        Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.”
        2 Thessalonians 2:11 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
        Revelation 16:14 “They are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings [g]of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them.”
        The Bible was given to Catholics as well as Protestants and indeed to all the world. We are warned that Satan is out to deceive the whole world through great signs and wonders. I believe he is at work today primarily doing that through Science and the new religion of UFOs and Alien origins.
        What is interesting is that Fatima is based on a ‘dancing sun’ in the sky and then a voice of Mary only heard by three children and no one else. Cris Putnam has done some excellent research on this event and put it in a book, “Exo-Vaticana”. In that book he describes how the Jesuits have put a telescope on Mt. Graham in Arizona looking for something to come. Malachi Martin also spoke of this on a Art Bell show years ago. Putnam reveals how what was really seen was not a ‘dancing sun’ but a spaceship. He shows the pictures that were in the newspapers in this video:
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjHFNye0UK4

        Of course, you focus on the message as a confirmation that this event is a real communication from God. And that is where deception lies. Satan mixes truth with error which is how he succeeds with deception. Truly, the Bolshevik revolution occurred in the same year, 1917. Certainly, totalitarianism was rising up. And Satan knows the Bible. He knows how God works and that God punishes apostasy. God used totalitarian Assyria to punish the idolatrous and apostate ten tribes in N. Israel. He used totalitarian Babylon to punish the other 2 apostate idolatrous tribes in S. Israel. He used totalitarian Rome to punish a restored Israel for rejecting the gospel of His son in 70 AD. All the prophets warned Israel of what would happen if they didn’t repent. Satan knows how God works. He saw how Europe once enlightened by the gospel of Jesus Christ and the newly minted Bible in current languages, was apostatizing because of the higher criticism of the Bible and Science. As a result God raised up a totalitarian Germany twice to punish an apostate Europe (WW1, WW2). And now, there is a global totalitarianism that is being used by God against an apostate world as the USA goes apostate and joins Europe in apostasy. The current Pope Francis is onboard this new totalitarian Great Reset. And Satan has used the truth of a rising Russia to establish secret Marian apparitions and spaceships.

        Satan has set up the whole world to receive a “strong delusion” as he once again prepares for a New Fatima! Catholics and Pentecostals will be deceived because they have put signs and wonders above the Scriptures. Even evangelicals will be deceived as they look for a return of Christ to Jerusalem. (His return will be in flaming judgment…not to sit on a throne in Jerusalem according to the Scriptures: Matthew 24, Luke 21, 2 Peter 3.) Buddhists are looking for Maitreya to appear; Jews are looking for their Messiah to finally appear; Secular humanists/atheists/evolutionists are looking for Ancient Aliens to appear to tell us they seeded us here long ago (panspermia). The Muslims are looking for their Mahdi to appear. So Satan has set up the whole world including Christianity for this last final masterful deception when he will appear as an angel of light.

        As a believer in the Word, I can’t worry about how this message is received. Surely God used Moses and Elijah to appear to Jesus and the 3 disciples, but that was before He sealed His word in the New Testament and Revelation. No, I would not believe anyone claiming to be sent by God whether it be Elijah or Mary!

        I share this in Christian love. We will have to wait see how the deception unveils itself. It is enough to know that Totalitarianism is taking over the whole world in front of our eyes. What we who are Christians must do is make sure we are walking with Christ in the Spirit. We must know the Scriptures that alone reveals the lies and wiles of Satan:
        Ephesians 6 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [b]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [c]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
        14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

        Peace my brothers

  21. Jeff, this passage from Wikipedia, (referring to John Keel), would seems to support your suggestion that the UFO Phenomenon could be a form of psychological warfare. “He worked as a freelance contributor to newspapers, scriptwriter for local radio and television outlets, and author of pulp articles such as “Are You A Repressed Sex Fiend?” He served in the US Army during the Korean War on the staff of the American Forces Network at Frankfurt, Germany. He claimed that while in the Army he was trained in psychological warfare as a propaganda writer.[1] After leaving the military he worked as a foreign radio correspondent in Paris, Berlin, Rome and Egypt.”

  22. Jeff

    Thanks for all the writings over the years. It really helps to keep some equanimity when we are reminded of realities, political and spiritual.

    Hope you had a Merry Christmas. And Happy New Year ! ( hope it,s better than 2020 ).

  24. Fatima was a Ufo event according to witness testimony at the time. Recently discovered images show a silver disk. Testimony of cars bursting into fire people receiving burns etc. See L.A. Marzullis 2 part documentary on it. The children never originally said the woman that appeared to them claimed to be Mary. The RC church highjacked this event and Catholicofied it.

    1. Saying something is a UFO event is circular in this case, since we do not know what UFO’s are. Ezekiel saw a wheel within a wheel. He saw living beings, called Cherubim. If UFOs are angels, fallen or otherwise, calling it a UFO solves nothing. The question at issue is whether the phenomenon was demonic.

      1. I reckon a silent silver disk that burns grass and people is identifablea and recognizable as a machine and an not an entity. Holy angel appearances in the Bible never follow the pattern at Fatima. So yeah demonic. We also got high level Jesuits talking about needing to reinterpret the Bible based on St communication s forthcoming. Gabriel Funes for one. Head of the VORG. The RC history with what we would call Et and UFOs does not to be of the holy sort. Caramel Balducci in Italian TV said Aliens were real and non demonic. Which certainly is contradictory to abductee reports. Take the UFO and Nukes by Hastings into account and again it’s not the patterns of Holy messengers from God. God’s angels identify themselves as such. These UFO and “ET” encounters are nearly always detrimental to witnesses. Disks burning Portuguese peasants and Mary don’t add up.

  25. Meant to say Carraldo Balducci Vatican head exorcist.Was first introduced to Fatima in Sunday School. Confirmed Catholic who attended Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in
    New Castle DE. I’ve also seen an UFO sufficiently supernatural to make question if life on another planet was real. The other witness never recovered, rejected God, embraced evolution and heroin addiction and commit suicide. So in short the UFO phenomena IMO is def. Demonic. We hardly needed “Mary” to warn of atheistic communism . Again the kids never originally said the entity was Mary and the woman allowed the children to nearly worship her. Very contrary to Biblical Holy Angel activity.

    1. But of the three shepherd children, the girl, Sister Lucy, became a nun and continued having visionary experiences her whole life. Is this not the case? If so, she did indeed assert contact with Mary. So it is not entirely fair to misrepresent the primary witness in the case.

      1. She changed her story after the fact. After the non witness RC priests became involved. Her other visions , who knows. This is one that concerns me.

      2. Jeff, you’re the best analyst of today, so you should know this:

        Sister Lucy was probably killed (the KGB probably poisoned her with poison, as in the case of Pope Pius XII and John Paul I.) because her Fatima prophecy about Russia was not suitable for future KGB goals. The KGB installed a fake sister Lucy in its place.

        https://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/g12htArt2_TwoSisterLucys.htm
        https://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/g24ht_Sisters.htm

        (however, the website does not mention the role of the KGB at all)

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Secrets_of_F%C3%A1tima#Second_secret

        The events of Fatima and the prophecies can be considered credible. Unfortunately, the world disobeyed the commandments of this prophecy, so Russia (and China) continue to destroy the world and spread delusions and lies around the world, especially on the Internet.

    1. Praise the Lord! This thing is not over til the last pitch. Many many Christians who have the grace gift of hearing from the Lord Jesus with dreams and visions have said that there is no doubt that President Trump will remain in office. This calls for faith and action. The thing about dreams and visions are that they require faith being executed towards that end by God’s people, action, prayer and praise to God enable God’s words to be activated on the earth. thanks for sharing POK.

    3. Yes, it’s great news! Thanks for phoning them PrayingInOK! We need more Senators to join! Here is the phone message I’m leaving for all Republican Senators who haven’t yet joined the Ted Cruz effortt:

      SENATOR, JAN. 6 IS THE LITMUS TEST. WE WON’T FORGET WHO ARE THE TRAITORS AND THE COWARDS IN THE SENATE. IF YOU CERTIFY A FRAUDULENT ELECTION, YOU WON’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT PRIMARY. AMERICANS ARE OUTRAGED. EVERYONE KNOWS THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED. DO THE RIGHT THING, OR THE REPUBLIC IS GONE FOREVER. THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING.

  27. I sent two more replies to you consisting of the same information. Please delete them. I resent them by accident. TY Jeff.

  28. Good afternoon, this cover of your book that appears in the article, sums up our presidents from 1985 to 2018 – when Bolsonaro was elected – and these same policies that are trying to come back, for the overthrow of Bolsonaro.

  29. According to Patrick Byrne on Twitter, the mayor of D.C. has ordered all hotels, restaurants, groceries, gas stations, and convenience stores to be closed on Jan. 4, 5, 6 to discourage Trump supporters from coming to the protest.

    1. Black Lives Matter DC has asked her to do that, but I haven’t found anything yet that says she did.

  30. Interestingly, both Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell’s homes were defaced last night. Both had spray paint and Pelosi’s had fake blood and a pig’s head. I have a feeling things will get much worse before they get better. 🙁

  31. Thanks Jeff for your opinion on UFOs.

    Given all this UFO discussion here, I watched the Bob Lazar Area 51 & Flying Saucers documentary currently on Netflix today. I previously learned about Lazar from a nuclear test engineer I worked with a few years ago who knew him personally. This fellow worker said Lazar was quite creditable but when I did a little research on Lazar I had some doubts given all the junk science that is out there. With the recently released US Navy UFO videos, the fact that there should be other life forms out in the universe somewhere if not everywhere, and having watched Lazar in the documentary, I’m willing to say that what he says is quite reasonable. I would recommend it, even though it adds all the typical UFO clap trap images in between and during the interview segments. Lazar has clearly been mistreated by the FBI and other agencies in his current business of selling science supplies. From my understanding, the raid was over selling mildly radioactive elements for science experiments (google The Radioactive Boy Scout to see what can go wrong).

    While progressive materialism (God is dead) is what many people seem to think is real science, but when you get into quantum physics things get strange, and there are many scientists taking advantage of it by confusing the issues. My first college physics professor, Amit Goswami, quit his teaching job to devote his future research to joining science and voodoo. It is clear it has more to do with fuzzy thinking than science given his recent book, Quantum Politics Saving Democracy, which seems to be more of a diatribe against the Trump administration than anything else. I have no idea what he thinks about Hunter’s laptop.

    I also did a little reading on the field of biophotonics today and believe it may show some promise to unite quantum effects and the mind. While many try to explain that “computer” between our ears using pure materialism, I think there is more to the story. You know, the big problem explaining free will.

    Yes, there are plenty of frauds in both biophotonics and artificial intelligence, but brain function is a field that Nobelist Rodger Penrose has written some interesting books about, linking it to what he calls “correct quantum gravity” and I believe he is onto something. We don’t know as much as we think we know about AI. My personal experience with neural networks is they can learn what we teach them (if it isn’t garbage in producing garbage out) but can’t seem to deal with anything outside what we teach them very well. AI is a hyped field too.

    1. Fascinating comments, James; especially about Penrose. There is an interesting book titled “The Science Delusion,” By Rupert Sheldrake (a British biologist). It is an alternative theory of matter and the universe from a biologist who takes on several scientific mainstays, like belief in constants (i.e., the speed of light, Gravity, etc.). Basically, he shows that these aren’t constant at all, and scientists have falsified their work to make these things appear to be constant. Sheldrake has his own crazy-sounding theory, and who knows if he is right. The takeaway is that we understand very little about the universe. Science does not know how time/space began or why it functions as it does. These are pretty basic things to not know. It seems our best theories are missing more than they are getting right. That’s rather shocking for all the claims scientists routinely make. Regarding your comments on UFOs and Bob Lazar: I watched him on Joe Rogan’s podcast awhile back (mainly as an exercise in looking for deceptive body language) and was shocked to find no tells. Basically, Lazar did not appear to be consciously lying. How to explain it? Now this puzzles me because I always assumed “flying saucers” were inter-dimensional manifestations as described in Vallee’s theory (and assumed by those who tend to a spiritual/theological explanation). It could be that Lazar was hired by the government and victimized as part of a psychological warfare operation. This really should be considered. He may have been exposed to information for the purpose of getting him to spread a story with technical military implications. But there are actual problems with this explanation that I have never been able to fully work out. The truth is, the phenomenon of UFOs is enormously complex, involving several disciplines and many kinds of witnesses. There are probably different levels of explanation needed to account for all the testimony and evidence. Scientists do not all agree, and it would be odd if they did. Read the late Karla Turner’s books and you get a taste of the complex elements involved. Turner was a history professor by training and did some of the best work by suspending judgment. There does seem to be government involvement in the phenomenon, though we can hardly untangle what it might mean. But even this is made unclear by the mind/bending nature of the phenomenon. There are physical and psychological effects. There are implants. There are paranormal manifestations. There are spiritual effects. And then, there are mythopoetic and cultural correspondences that cannot be fully understood. I have puzzled over many of these elements and their implications. I see no way of reaching a firm or simple conclusion. True science is about reserving judgment and resisting an easy conclusion. Philosophically, I am forced to agree with Eric Voegelin’s notion that the universe is a mystery that we will never unravel. Anyone who claims to have all the answers is what Voegelin calls a “Gnostic.” Such a person creates a false picture of the world by believing they have explained it. Marxists are an example of Gnostics. Their claim of special knowledge is also a claim to power. Such is always sinister. All our knowledge is partial and the given context always carries doubtful aspects. In terms of spirituality, Voegelin was a mystic whose concept of faith depended on sincerity of heart; that is, he did not confuse faith with dogmatic belief. Faith is a state of grace given to the pure of heart (that is, to the faithful). Those who actively falsify reality out of vanity or ambition are without faith. They are corrupted by a willingness to cheat. And they end with less than nothing while claiming to possess the key to all.

      1. There is also an argument from the biblical account of the curse ensuing from the Edenic Fall to suggest that the laws of physics have been altered since creation, to make them more punitive for man; who knows, part of that may have affected the speed of light, gravity, the laws of thermodynamics, etc.

      2. Thanks for pointing out “The Science Delusion” book. I read the introduction on Amazon and can totally agree with what Sheldrake claims. The field is very deep, the history long and not easily explained to those not skilled in higher math and the role of getting a grant. I worked my way through college as a physics research assistant for some very bright PhDs and saw it all, but when 300+ post docs applied for the replacement position when Oregon’s first professional astronomer retired, I could see that going further was not in my interest. There was a lot of politics involved in getting a grant back then in the 70’s and now we have the climate change scam among others that are worse.

        One area that recently found my interest is the field of Epigenetics. Amazing how behavior can be passed from parents through genes to offspring. It seems there may be a ghost in the machine.

        I think the big problem with raw materialism is that the laws of physical motion are reversible in a mathematical sense by simply reversing the time vector direction, but the real world doesn’t exhibit this possibility. Entropy attempts to explain it but I think the fault lies with our concepts of logic and math, or is it simply quantum randomness?

      3. A lot of bad science out there and inept epistemologies. When I was in graduate school Professor Harry Eckstein, the chairman of UCI’s political science department, made us study the philosophy of science. We were shocked to see how shabby the so-called “hard sciences” were. Many social scientists, it turned out, had better research methods than physicists or biologists (who had become quite shoddy). In some ways, being the “backward” science made some political scientists more rigorous. But that was the exact moment, thirty years ago, when everything was going to the commie dogs; though some of them were frighteningly sophisticated in their thinking. You should never underestimate these people, especially the old-timers.

  32. The best recent witness testimony I’ve come across involved over 100 military personnel at nuclear weapons sites including missile command operations. If these people are not credible nothing is. Robert Hastings UFOs and Nukes. The Fatima even has been largely managed by RCC. Highly suggest L. A. Marzullis 2 part documentary of old previously unearthed or unpopularised public records police reports witness testimony etc. Including glass “negatives” of photos of the craft.

  33. A friend in Ohio sent me this link. Are you familiar with the Council of a Livable World?

      1. Ask Robert Hastings witnesses. They must needs protesteth muchly. I’m done.

    Iran tested a wide array of home-made drones in a military exercise launched on Tuesday, two days after the anniversary of the US killing of a top Iranian general by a drone strike in Iraq. In a two-day exercise, Iran’s armed forces are testing combat drones used as bombers, interceptors and reconnaissance missions in the Semnan province. Iranian drones will also drop munitions and, loaded with explosives, carry out a “kamikaze” flight against a target.

    US accuses Iran of “nuclear extortion.” IRGC seizes SKorean tanker

    A state department spokesperson Tuesday accused Iran of pursuing a “campaign of nuclear extortion” by resuming uranium enrichment to 20pc purity at its underground Fordow center. This is the most serious breach so far of the nuclear deal Iran signed in 2015 with six world powers.
    In another development, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards seized a South Korean-flagged chemical tanker in the Gulf. Seoul demanded the vessel’s immediate release and warned that a South Korean anti-piracy unit stationed in the Strait of Hormuz has been dispatched to the area.
