Conspiracy Theories - Official Thread!

33 Thomas Street
New York, NY
Formerly known as The AT&T Long Lines Building

This building has been a conspiracy theory wet dream since it was built back in the early 1970s.

It’s original purpose was a main hub for landline phones back in the day. Now with wireless communications, it’s believed that ATT does not use the whole 29 Floors and possibly leasing parts of the building out.

Theories are the building is the East Coast/North East Hub to the sister site in Bluffdale, UT used by the NSA that I posted earlier in the thread.

Other theories are parts of it are used as a CIA black site along with other clandestine Government operations.

It’s possible sections are being used by private defense and government contractors for a number of top secret things. The building could be used as a storage site for a number of things.

The building was theoretically designed to withstand a nuclear blast because of its design.

The building has been used in TV series like the “X-Files” and “Mr. Robot”, novels and other literature.

It became widely known when actor Tom Hanks was wandering Manhattan and posted a picture of it on his social media back in 2017.

What is going on inside, it will probably always be a mystery.

The NSA’s Spy Hub in New York, Hidden in Plain Sight

The NSA has placed top-secret surveillance equipment inside an AT&T building in Manhattan, documents reveal.

theintercept.com

THEY CALLED IT Project X. It was an unusually audacious, highly sensitive assignment: to build a massive skyscraper, capable of withstanding an atomic blast, in the middle of New York City. It would have no windows, 29 floors with three basement levels, and enough food to last 1,500 people two weeks in the event of a catastrophe.

But the building’s primary purpose would not be to protect humans from toxic radiation amid nuclear war. Rather, the fortified skyscraper would safeguard powerful computers, cables, and switchboards. It would house one of the most important telecommunications hubs in the United States — the world’s largest center for processing long-distance phone calls, operated by the New York Telephone Company, a subsidiary of AT&T.

The building was designed by the architectural firm John Carl Warnecke & Associates, whose grand vision was to create a communication nerve center like a “20th century fortress, with spears and arrows replaced by protons and neutrons laying quiet siege to an army of machines within.”

Construction began in 1969, and by 1974, the skyscraper was completed. Today, it can be found in the heart of lower Manhattan at 33 Thomas Street, a vast gray tower of concrete and granite that soars 550 feet into the New York skyline. The brutalist structure, still used by AT&T and, according to the New York Department of Finance, owned by the company, is like no other in the vicinity. Unlike the many neighboring residential and office buildings, it is impossible to get a glimpse inside 33 Thomas Street. True to the designers’ original plans, there are no windows and the building is not illuminated. At night it becomes a giant shadow, blending into the darkness, its large square vents emitting a distinct, dull hum that is frequently drowned out by the sound of passing traffic and wailing sirens.

For many New Yorkers, 33 Thomas Street — known as the “Long Lines Building” — has been a source of mystery for years. It has been labeled one of the city’s weirdest and most iconic skyscrapers, but little information has ever been published about its purpose.

It is not uncommon to keep the public in the dark about a site containing vital telecommunications equipment. But 33 Thomas Street is different: An investigation by The Intercept indicates that the skyscraper is more than a mere nerve center for long-distance phone calls. It also appears to be one of the most important National Security Agency surveillance sites on U.S. soil — a covert monitoring hub that is used to tap into phone calls, faxes, and internet data.

Documents obtained by The Intercept from the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden do not explicitly name 33 Thomas Street as a surveillance facility. However — taken together with architectural plans, public records, and interviews with former AT&T employees conducted for this article — they provide compelling evidence that 33 Thomas Street has served as an NSA surveillance site, code-named TITANPOINTE.
Inside 33 Thomas Street there is a major international “gateway switch,” according to a former AT&T engineer, which routes phone calls between the United States and countries across the world. A series of top-secret NSA memos suggest that the agency has tapped into these calls from a secure facility within the AT&T building. The Manhattan skyscraper appears to be a core location used for a controversial NSA surveillance program that has targeted the communications of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and at least 38 countries, including close U.S. allies such as Germany, Japan, and France.

It has long been known that AT&T has cooperated with the NSA on surveillance, but few details have emerged about the role of specific facilities in carrying out the top-secret programs. The Snowden documents provide new information about how NSA equipment has been integrated as part of AT&T’s network in New York City, revealing in unprecedented detail the methods and technology the agency uses to vacuum up communications from the company’s systems.

“This is yet more proof that our communications service providers have become, whether willingly or unwillingly, an arm of the surveillance state,” said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the liberty and national security program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “The NSA is presumably operating under authorities that enable it to target foreigners, but the fact that it is so deeply embedded in our domestic communications infrastructure should tip people off that the effects of this kind of surveillance cannot be neatly limited to non-Americans.”

The NSA declined to comment for this story.

Advanced Aerospace Threat And Identification Program
Declassified List of all Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) activities

UFOs were not the only thing that the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification program was studying

BY MARK R. WHITTINGTON
January 25, 2019 - 09:30 AM EST

https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/426934-ufos-were-not-the-only-thing-that-the-advanced-aerospace-threat?amp

The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification program was a government project started over 10 years ago at the instigation of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat of Nevada, to study the truth about UFOs. Much of the money was directed to a constituent of Reid, Robert Bigelow, a hotel magnate who also is the owner of an aerospace company that builds inflatable modules for NASA. Even though Bigelow is a believer in the notion that aliens have been regularly visiting Earth, the results of the study were inconclusive at best.

Now, Motherboard reports that alien visitations were not the only area of study for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

"On Wednesday (Jan 16), the Defense Intelligence Agency released a list of 38 research titles pursued by the program in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy."

The areas of research that were being funded by the program seemed to be things out of "Star Trek." One grant was for the study of "Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy" conducted by Eric W. Davis of EarthTech International Inc. Another grant was for the study of "Invisibility Cloaking" by German scientist Ulf Leonhardt, at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Yet another area of study was "Warp Drive, Dark Energy, and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions" conducted by Richard Obousy, a theoretical physicist and director of the nonprofit Icarus Interstellar.

No one has revealed how or why these studies were given grants under the AATI program. Since only $22 million is reported to have been spent through the known life of the program, it could not have been a lot of money. Nor are the results of the study publically known. Possibly the criteria is that warp drives and stargates would be technologies that would be useful for aliens traversing interstellar distances to visit Earth.

Aftergood is not amused that such seemingly esoteric fields of study had received government funding. The grant recipients are lucky that William Proxmire, a Democratic senator from Wisconsin, is no longer alive. Proxmire regularly handed out his "Golden Fleece Award" to science projects he didn't like. He had a special ire in his heart for anything that seemed too much like science fiction. The senator was instrumental in ending government funding for the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), a project to listen for signals from alien civilizations.

On the other hand, none of the fields of study could be considered crackpottery, at least according to our current understanding of physics. All of the people who received grants were legitimate scientists. According to Futurism, NASA has conducted low-level warp drive studies for the past couple of decades. Technologies like those the Advance Aerospace Threat Identification program funded are theoretically possible. However, the current state of engineering means that their reality is many decades, perhaps centuries, in the future.

Should the United States government even be spending money on possible technologies that are unlikely to become reality during current human lifetimes? The problems of travel to Mars, not to speak of Alpha Centauri, have not yet been solved.

Still, studies into such subjects as warp drives, stargates, and manipulation of extra dimensions would possibly lead to further insights into the nature of the universe. Knowledge is better than ignorance and can, in turn, lead to unforeseen practical applications that perhaps don't involve interstellar travel.

Besides, when a real-life Zefram Cochrane is ready to build the first warp drive, he will have a solid basis of theoretical work to inform his history-making project. Just as the art of rocketry dating back to ancient China led to the Apollo missions to the moon, people today working in scattered labs across the planet could lead to that "Star Trek" future that has captured the imagination of generations of TV and film audiences.

Was he a “Manchurian Candidate”?

After learning of Whitey Bulger LSD tests, juror has regrets

After learning of Whitey Bulger LSD tests, juror has regrets

EASTHAM, Mass. (AP) — One of the jurors who convicted notorious crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger says she regrets her decision after learning that he was an unwitting participant in a covert CIA experiment with LSD.

apnews.com

EASTHAM, Mass. (AP) — One of the jurors who convicted notorious crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger says she regrets her decision after learning that he was an unwitting participant in a covert CIA experiment with LSD.

Bulger terrorized Boston from the 1970s into the 1990s with a campaign of murder, extortion, and drug trafficking, then spent 16 years on the lam after he was tipped to his pending arrest.

In2013, Janet Uhlar was one of 12 jurors who found Bulger guilty in a massive racketeering case, including involvement in 11 murders, even after hearing evidence that the mobster was helped by corrupt agents in the Boston office of the FBI.

But now Uhlar says she regrets voting to convict Bulger on any of the murder charges.

Her regret stems from a cache of more than 70 letters Bulger wrote to her from prison. In some, he describes his unwitting participation in a secret CIA experiment with LSD. In a desperate search for a mind control drug in the late 1950s, the agency dosed Bulger with the powerful hallucinogen more than 50 times when he was serving his first stretch in prison — something his lawyers never brought up in his federal trial.

“Had I known, I would have absolutely held off on the murder charges,” Uhlar told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “He didn’t murder prior to the LSD. His brain may have been altered, so how could you say he was really guilty?” At the same time, Uhlar says she would have voted to convict Bulger on the long list of other criminal counts, meaning he still would likely have died in prison.

Uhlar has spoken publicly about her regret before but says her belief that the gangster was wrongly convicted on the murder charges was reinforced after reading a new book by Brown University professor Stephen Kinzer: “Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control.” The book digs into the dark tale of the CIA’s former chief chemist and his attempts to develop mind control techniques by giving LSD and other drugs to unsuspecting individuals, including colleagues, and observing the effects.

“It was encouraging to know I wasn’t losing my mind, thinking this was important,” Uhlar said. “It told me, this is huge. I mean, how many lives were affected by this? We have no idea.”

Gottlieb’s secret program, known as MK-ULTRA, enlisted doctors and other subcontractors to administer LSD in large doses to prisoners, addicts and others unlikely to complain. In Bulger’s case, the mobster and fellow inmates were offered reduced time for their participation and told they would be taking part in medical research into a cure for schizophrenia.

“Appealed to our sense of doing something worthwhile for society,” Bulger wrote in a letter to Uhlar reviewed by the AP.

But nothing could have been further from the truth.

“The CIA mind control program known as MK-ULTRA involved the most extreme experiments on human beings ever conducted by any agency of the U.S. government,” Kinzer said. “During its peak in the 1950s, that program and it’s director, Sidney Gottlieb, left behind a trail of broken bodies and shattered minds across three continents.”

After Bulger was found guilty by Uhlar and the other jurors, a federal judge sentenced him to two life terms plus five years. But his life behind bars ended a little more than a year ago, at age 89, when he was beaten to death by fellow inmates shortly after arriving in his wheelchair at the Hazelton federal prison in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia. No criminal charges have been filed.

Although much had been written about the CIA’s mind control experiments before Bulger’s trial, Uhlar said she knew nothing about them until she began corresponding with the renowned gangster following his conviction.

Uhlar started writing Bulger, she said, because she was troubled by the fact that much of the evidence against him came through testimony by former criminal associates who were also killers and had received reduced sentences in exchange for testifying against their former partner in crime.

“When I left the trial, I had more questions,” she said.

After Bulger started returning her letters, Uhlar noticed he often dated them with the time he had started writing in his tight cursive style. “He always seemed to be writing at one, two, or three in the morning and when I asked him why, he said it was because of the hallucinations,” Uhlar said.

When Uhlar asked him to explain, Bulger revealed what he had already told many others: that since taking part in the LSD experiments at a federal prison in Atlanta, he’d been plagued by nightmares and gruesome hallucinations and was unable to sleep for more than a few hours at a time.

“Sleep was full of violent nightmares and wake up every hour or so — still that way — since ’57,” he wrote.

“On the Rock at times felt sure going insane,” he wrote in another letter, referring to the infamous former prison on Alcatraz Island, in San Francisco Bay, where he was transferred from Atlanta. “Auditory & visual hallucinations and violent nightmares — still have them — always slept with lights on helps when I wake up about every hour from nightmares.”

The mobster also recalled the supervising physician, the late Carl Pfeiffer of Emory University, and the technicians who would monitor his response to the LSD, asking him questions such as, “Would you ever kill anyone? Etc., etc.”

That question struck a nerve with Uhlar. After hearing from Bulger about MK-ULTRA, “as if I should have known about it,” she visited him at a Florida federal prison on three occasions to discuss the experiments and started reading everything she could find about them.

At one point, she reviewed the 1977 hearings by the U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence, which was looking into MK-ULTRA following the first public disclosures of the top-secret program.

The hearings included testimony from CIA director Stansfield Turner, who acknowledged evidence showing that the agency had been searching for a drug that could prepare someone for “debilitating an individual or even killing another person.”

“That’s just horrifying, in my opinion,” Uhlar said. “It opens up the question of whether he was responsible for the murders he committed.”

According to at least two of the several books written about Bulger and his life of crime, associates including corrupt former FBI agent John Morris said they assumed Bulger would use the LSD experiments to mount an insanity defense, if he were ever caught and tried.

But in 2013 Bulger’s Boston attorneys, J.W. Carney Jr. and Hank Brennan, unveiled a novel defense in which they admitted Bulger was a criminal who made “millions and millions of dollars” from his gangland enterprise, but was enabled by corrupt law enforcement officers, especially those in Boston office of the FBI.

Neither Carney nor Brennan would comment on their decision — attorney client privilege outlasts a client’s death. But Anthony Cardinale, a Boston attorney who has represented numerous organized crime defendants, said he would have opted for an insanity defense, in part because of the abundant evidence against Bulger.

“I would have had him come into court like Harvey Weinstein, all disheveled, and in a wheelchair,” he said.

Still, Cardinale acknowledged there would have been challenges to presenting an insanity defense, including the fact that Bulger spent 16 years outwitting several law enforcement agencies, before he was captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, Calif., where he’d been living quietly with his longtime girlfriend while on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List.

“The problem is, he lived for a very long time on the lam in a very secretive and a very smart way,” Cardinale said. “But that doesn’t diminish the notion that, based on the LSD experiments, and the doses he was experiencing, he could have convinced himself of things that were not true, including that he had immunity from prosecution and could do whatever he wanted.”

To his dying day, Bulger insisted he’d received criminal immunity from a deceased federal prosecutor who once headed the New England Organized Crime Strike Force.

John Bradley, a former Massachusetts federal prosecutor and assistant district attorney, agreed that defense lawyers would have faced high hurdles waging an insanity defense, noting that most end in convictions.

“The flip side is that jurors are sometimes swayed by morality more than legality,” he said. “The whole shtick that the government played a role in creating this monster, uses him as an informant and then goes after him — that’s an argument that could affect one or two jurors.”

And it only takes one to vote not guilty on all the criminal charges to produce a hung jury, Bradley noted, forcing prosecutors to decide whether to retry a case.

Given Bulger’s decades as a crime boss who corrupted the Boston office of the FBI, paying cash and doing favors in exchange for information that helped him thwart multiple investigations, a retrial would have been a near certainty. Nevertheless, Cardinale said, a hung jury in the Bulger case “would have been a monster victory” for the defense.

Even if Bulger were convicted on the other criminal charges and received a sentence that would have kept him behind bars for life, a refusal to find him guilty on the murder charges would have meant anguish for family members of his victims.

“As in any case involving a tragic murder, a conviction of the perpetrator helps family member obtain closure and move on with their lives,” said Paul V. Kelly, a former federal prosecutor who has represented the family of one of Bulger’s murder victims. “An acquittal of Whitey Bulger on the murder charges would have just caused additional pain and anguish.”

Uhlar has written about the Bulger trial in “The Truth be Damned,” a fictionalized account she published in 2018 and advertises on her website. She also gives occasional talks on the trial at community centers and libraries.

During her correspondence and visits with Bulger, Uhlar said, she grew fond of the gangster, though he often warned her that he was a criminal and “master manipulator.” When asked if Bulger might have manipulated her, she said, “I’ve asked myself that many times. I’ll finish reading a letter and say, ‘Could he have?’ “

Bulger often wrote to Uhlar as if she were a friend, even joking with her. But in one letter he also enclosed a more menacing message inscribed to her on the back of a photo taken of him on “the Rock,” at a time when he was fending off LSD-induced nightmares while contemplating his return to Boston’s violent criminal underworld.

“At end of Alcatraz, getting more serious and capable of about anything,” he wrote. “Hard time makes hard people.”

The race to put man on the Moon wasn’t enough of a battle for the global super powers during the Cold War.

At the time, the Soviet Union and the United States were in an arms race of a bizarre, unconventional kind – that has been exposed in a new report.

Beginning in 1917 and continuing until 2003, the Soviets poured up to $1 billion into developing mind-controlling weaponry to compete with similar programs undertaken in the United States.

While much still remains classified, we can now confirm the Soviets used methods to manipulate test subjects’ brains.

The paper, by Serge Kernbach, at the Research Centre of Advanced Robotics and Environmental Science in Stuttgart, Germany, details the Soviet Union’s extensive experiments, called “psychotronics”. The paper is based on Russian technical journals and recently declassified documents.

The paper outlines how the Soviets developed “cerpan”, a device to generate and store high-frequency electromagnetic radiation which was used to affect other objects.

“If the generator is designed properly, it is able to accumulate bioenergy from all living things – animals, plants, humans – and then release it outside,” the paper said.

The schematic drawing made by Soviet scientist detailing the bio-circuitry of the human nervous system.​

The psychotronics program, known in the US as “parapsychology”, involves unconventional research into mind control and remote influence – and was funded by the government.

With only limited knowledge of each other’s mind-bending programs, the Soviets and Americans were both participating in similar secret operations, with areas of interest often mirroring the other country’s study.

The psychotronics project draws similarities to part of the controversial program MKUltra in the US. The CIA program ran for 20 years, has been highly documented since being investigated in the 1970s and was recently dramatized in the 2009 movie “The Men Who Stare at Goats.”

Scientists involved in the MKUltra program researched the possibility of manipulating people’s minds by altering their brain functions using electromagnetic waves. This program led to the development of pyschotronic weapons, which were intended to be used to perform these mind-shifting functions.

The illegal research subjected humans to experiments with drugs, such as LSD, hypnosis and radiological and biological agents. Shockingly, some studies were conducted without the participant’s knowledge.

Kernbach’s paper on the Soviet Union’s psychotronics program fails to mention one thing – the results. He also doesn’t detail whether there are ongoing mind-control programs in the US or Russia, but there are suspicions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made mention of futuristic weaponry last year in a presidential campaign article.

“Space-based systems and IT tools, especially in cyberspace, will play a great, if not decisive role in armed conflicts. In a more remote future, weapon systems that use different physical principles will be created (beam, geophysical, wave, genetic, psychophysical and other types of weapons). All this will provide fundamentally new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals in addition to nuclear weapons,” he wrote.

The newly declassified information outlined in the report only touches on the Soviet psychotronics program and the bizarre experiments undertaken. With so much information still classified, will we ever know the whole truth?

United Nations Appointing Ambassador to Alien World?

United Nations Appointing Ambassador to Alien World?

Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian Astrophysicist, May Be Named as the UN Ambassador to Extraterrestrials, If and When They Contact Humanity

Malaysian astrophysicist Mazlan Othman may add a new job to her resume. She is currently director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), which deals space-related issues, ranging from international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space to managing the growing problem of space debris.

According to numerous reports, Othman will be named as the UN ambassador to extraterrestrials, if and when they contact humanity. The post will require approval from UN scientific advisory committees and the General Assembly.

Othman, who led Malaysia's national space agency before heading to the U.N., and helped train that country's first astronaut, is scheduled to speak next week at a Royal Society event devoted to the implications of alien contact and the need for necessary political processes to be in place should that contact occur.

"The continued search for extraterrestrial communication...sustains the hope that someday humankind will receive signals from extraterrestrials," publication The Australian quoted Othman as saying. "When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The U.N. is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination."

The publication also quoted Professor Richard Crowther, a specialist in space law and governance at the U.K. Space Agency, on Othman's suitability for the job: she "is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a 'take me to your leader' person."

Though contact with space aliens may not happen tomorrow, the recent discovery of potentially Earth-like planets, and of the existence of life forms in the harshest environments on Earth itself, have led to an increased focus on the possibility of extraterrestrial creatures. Famed physicist Stephen Hawking has recently helped to legitimize exopolitics, which looks at the public policy implications of alien life.

"To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational," The Times of London quoted Hawking as saying back in April. "The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."

And how best to deal with them.

Othman seems to be sympathetic toward such life forms. As The Australian points out, under the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, overseen by the Office for Outer Space Affairs, members of the U.N. agree to protect Earth against contamination by taking the precaution of "sterilizing" extraterrestrials. But, The Australian says, Othman "is understood to want a more tolerant approach."

If Hawking's thinking is correct, however, Othman may be in for some challenging diplomacy. Though he suspects most aliens will prove to be microbes and small animals, Hawking warns against trying to make contact with intelligent ETs. He thinks they'd likely be cruising the starways in search of resources, and potential colonies.

"We only have to look at ourselves," The Times quoted Hawking as saying, "to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet."

But then, perhaps Othman's time at the U.N., and that agency's long history of dealing with the fallout from humanity's foibles, makes her the perfect candidate for the job.

Update, 10:12 a.m. PDT:

The story has been recast to include a newspaper report of Othman denying the purported appointment as an ambassador to the aliens.

Executive Action
1973

9/10

This is a classic conspiracy movie that a lot of folks have not heard of.

It's based on the JFK assassination.

The movie uses confirmed facts from events prior, during and after the assassination. The film uses actual file footage and it uses footage that you will not see in the JFK documentaries that are out there now. I did some looking up on it and this flick had endured some censorship to it prior and during its release because it was so controversial.

The movie is played out well and flows nicely. The film touches on a number of political and social topics of the era.

And for you conspiracy theorists, the film has a scene that kind of relates to events that have been going around in world affairs over the past 20 years and today. It sort of gives foresight on current conspiracy theories. So all this conspiracy stuff you reading today ain't new, its been circulating around since the 1960s and 1970s. It’s obvious whoever was behind this movie had some inside information.

If you love conspiracy movies, this is a must see.

Synopsis

In 1963, with President John F. Kennedy growing more liberal and humanitarian in his policies, a shadowy cabal of Texas oil magnates, hardline conservatives, intelligence agents and rogue operatives meet to discuss possible action. The swaggering Foster (Robert Ryan) wants JFK dead, but the mysterious and powerful Ferguson (Will Geer) rebuffs the idea. Still, Farrington (Burt Lancaster) carries out a military training operation in preparation for an assassination while he waits for a decision.

Declassified Pentagon documents discuss UFOs causing "unaccounted-for pregnancies"

The reports reveal details from an array of alleged UFO encounters, with varying degrees of plausibility

Declassified Pentagon documents discuss UFOs causing "unaccounted-for pregnancies" - Salon.com

The reports reveal details from an array of alleged UFO encounters, with varying degrees of plausibility

www.salon.com

Request Rejected

www.secnav.navy.mil

For five years, the U.S. Department of Defense ran a program that monitored reports of human encounters with UFOs (unidentified flying objects). Now the release of more than 1,500 pages of documents reveals that the agency compiled bizarre stories of unaccounted pregnancies, radiation burns and even brain damage during a secretive stretch from 2007 to 2012.

First published in the British tabloid The Sun in compliance with a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request, the collection of documents was originally created by AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program). Its existence only became known to the public after former program director Luis Elizondo resigned from the Pentagon in 2017 and released videos of unidentified, fast-moving aircraft. While the U.S. government withheld some of the requested documents in the new release, claiming there were privacy and confidentiality concerns, the materials that were produced are bound to fuel rampant speculation among the large community of UFO conspiracy theorists.

The Pentagon documents state that people who observed unidentified flying objects frequently displayed a cluster of similar physical symptoms: Injuries consistent with exposure to electromagnetic radiation (such as burns), heart ailments, and sleep disturbances. A report speculates that these could be caused by "energy related propulsion systems" and warns that the underlying technology could pose a "threat to United States interests." Additionally, in cases that would not seem out of place in an "X-Files" episode, there were accounts of "apparent abduction" and "unaccounted for pregnancy."

Another document from the cache contains a rubric for categorizing different types of seemingly paranormal experiences. If a person claims to have observed a UFO that had extraterrestrials on board, for instance, they are categorized as "CE3." By contrast, someone who says they encountered "ghosts, yetis, spirits, elves and other mythical/legendary entities" is classified as "AN3."

Other documents describe efforts to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations, plans for exploring and colonizing deep space, and studying ways to pioneer technology like mind-controlled robots and invisibility cloaks.

The documents also reveal that former Sen. Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat who served as Senate Majority Leader from 2007 to 2015, fought to learn more about UFO technology that he believed had been acquired by government contractors. One document shows Reid requesting a "restricted special access program" for work being conducted by BLASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies), which had been awarded a $12 million contract to study "advanced aerospace weapon threats from the present out to 40 years in the future." Although Reid pointed out how BLASS had identified "several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace technologies" which required "extraordinary protection," he was not allowed to conduct the level of investigation that he wanted.

This is not the first time that the public has been made aware of Reid's concerns about UFOs. (Reid passed away in December from pancreatic cancer.) Last year, a lengthy report in The New Yorker revealed that Reid suspected Lockheed Martin, the American aerospace firm, had recovered fragments from a UFO that had crashed in the United States.

"I was told for decades that Lockheed had some of these retrieved materials," he told the magazine at the time. "And I tried to get, as I recall, a classified approval by the Pentagon to have me go look at the stuff. They would not approve that. I don't know what all the numbers were, what kind of classification it was, but they would not give that to me."

Reid also suggested in 2020 that the government knows more about UFOs than has been released to the public, tweeting satisfaction that the Pentagon had allowed the release of footage shot by the U.S. Navy in 2004 and 2015 of "unidentified aerial phenomena." Reid stated that although he was happy with the release of the footage, "it only scratches the surface of research and materials available. The U.S. needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed."

Publicly, serious scientists have no credible evidence that intelligent extraterrestrial life has landed on Earth or made contact with humans. There are, however, occasional space anomalies observed by astronomers that credible scientists believe may hint at extraterrestrial intelligence, or at least warrant further study. The most prominent of these is the passing interstellar object 'Oumuamua, which came from elsewhere in the galaxy and blazed through the solar system in 2017. Avi Loeb, a Harvard astronomy professor, believes that object had many of the signatures we might associate with intelligent life, and may have been some kind of probe constructed by an extraterrestrial civilization.

This docu-series debuted on Netflix a few years back.

The series gives in-depth information on this far-right wing Christian Conservative group with a heavy influence in Washington DC politics. They are also known as “The Fellowship”.

They have been around since the 1950s. They sponsor “The National Prayer Breakfast” which has been attended by every President since Eisenhower.

Majority of Americans had no clue they existed until around 2011. That’s when former US Senator John Ensign, NV (R) resigned due to his extra-marital affair, which exposed a shit load of craziness in Washington politics.

If you believe there are shadow groups working behind the scenes calling the shots, this series is for you.

It’s a 5 part series.

Synopsis

An enigmatic conservative Christian group known as the Family wields strong influence in Washington, D.C., in pursuit of its global ambitions.

Krayzie Bone Thinks AI Rappers Will Take Real Rappers' Jobs

Capitol Records is raising eyebrows with its recent signing of a digital rapper named FN Meka -- an artificial lifeform that creates music through computer intelligence -- and veteran human MC Krayzie Bone has mixed thoughts!

We got the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member outside of Dash Radio and on one hand, he thinks it could start a booming trend ... which isn't hard to see, given the popularity of TikTok, the metaverse and cryptocurrency.

Of course, Krayzie sees the writing on the wall ... real rappers could be out of work and label signings as a result of the digital uprising.

He's not alone in his thinking ... The Game, Lil Mama and R&B singer Sammie all railed against the announcement ... forcing FN Meka (or its handlers) to make the Instagram account private, which is not a good look for a new artist -- real or otherwise.

One weighty cosign FN Meka has going for him/it is Gunna, who was featuring with gaming streamer Clix on the AI rapper's debut single, "Florida Water."

Krayzie also took time out to address the ongoing legal drama brewing between Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and their Verzuz partners at Triller.

If you remember, Krayzie was a part of one of the most memorable episodes ... Bone Thugs Verzuz Three 6 Mafia, most notable for Bizzy Bone's wild on-stage brawl that almost shut down the event.

Krayzie says he and the team never had an issue getting paid nor did they perceive any bad business being conducted ... which, on the surface, might support Triller's claim the issue is a "personal one" for Swizz and Tim.

King Tut’s Dagger

This legendary dagger was discovered back in 1925 when King Tut’s tomb was discovered.

What makes it unique is the metal composition it has. And the fact the thing does not rust.

With modern science, it was discovered that it was made from alien metal, most likely from a meteor shower impact.

The Conspiracy Theory is the dagger was made by extraterrestrials and somehow got into possession of King Tut.

The metals used was known by people at that time, but the technology to forge it is believed to not exist, during that time period.

To this day there is still questions on its origin and how it was made.

What do you think?

Possible Origin Of King Tut’s Dagger Made From Alien Metal Revealed

Possible Origin Of King Tut’s Dagger Made From Alien Metal Revealed

A unique dagger made from meteoritic iron found in Tutankhamun's tomb might be a gift to the ancient rulers of Egypt.

www.forbes.com

One of the most astounding discoveries in Tutankhamun's tomb was a 34-centimeter long dagger made of iron and decorated with gold. The dagger had been discovered during the 1925 unwrapping of the mummy. But the age of the burial - Tutankhamun was pharaoh from 1332 to 1323 BCE - predated Egypt's Iron Age by more than 2000 years.

A preliminary non-destructive analysis performed in 1970 with X-rays showed high levels of nickel, suggesting that the dagger was made from extraterrestrial metal. In addition, the quality of the blade indicates that it was made using a type of fine-crystallized metal as found in some types of meteorites.

Before the development of high-temperature-furnaces, meteorites were the only source of native iron accessible to early civilizations. Unable to fuse or melt the metal, the ancient blacksmiths hammered the pieces of meteoritic iron into shape.

But the origin of the meteorite used for King Tut’s dagger remained a mystery. In June 2016, a paper compared the blade to an iron meteorite with similar proportions of iron, nickel and cobalt discovered near and named after Kharga Oasis. The dagger's metal was presumably from the same meteor shower. But some researchers noted that the chemical fingerprint didn't match exactly.

A new study published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science by researchers from Japan and Egypt suggests an alternative origin and locality. Chemical analysis shows a high concentration of iron, nickel, manganese and traces of sulfur. This is consistent with meteoritic metal. The study also confirms the existence of Widmanstätten patterns on the blade, a unique pattern of intergrown metallic minerals found only in meteorites. The research concludes that the metal used to make the dagger comes from an octahedrite meteorite, the most common class of iron meteorites.

The new chemical analysis alone doesn't provide clues where this meteorite originated. However, letters preserved on clay tablets found in Upper Egypt at el-Amarna, and dated to the New Kingdom between 1360–1332 BCE coinciding with Tutankhamun's birth, describe an iron dagger given as a gift by the King of Mitanni - what is now Syria - to Egypt.

It is not entirely clear if the ancient Egyptians knew of the extraterrestrial origin of the used metal. Texts dating to 1300 BCE refer to iron as a gift "from the sky," but this might be symbolic speech, describing the rare and precious metal as a gift from the gods and so of heavenly origin.

Concepts to Capabilities - Radiance Technologies

www.radiancetech.com

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Radiance Technologies has quietly become a major player in developing cutting-edge weapons and systems for the Pentagon, with 20 offices established in 17 states. When it comes to unidentified flying objects or alien technology, the company doesn’t duck the topic formerly considered taboo or fringe.

But if somebody possessed a UFO, and asked scientists from Radiance to take it apart to figure out how it works, would they take that contract?


Tim Tinsley, president of Radiance Technology, says yes.

“Why not,” he says. “I’m waiting for one of those.”

Tinsley is an engineer who spent two decades working on missile defense systems before joining Radiance. Unlike Lockheed Martin or Northrop Grumman, the Huntsville, Alabama-based company is owned entirely by its employees.

“Whether we’re in Las Vegas or San Antonio, Dayton, Ohio, or Huntsville, it doesn’t matter,” Tinsley explains. “The idea is we have a core set of values that runs through the company.”

But what exactly does Radiance Technology do with the 105,000 square feet of laboratory space? The company’s website hints at involvement in exotic defense technologies including direct energy weapons, hypersonic missiles, and systems to defend against cyber warfare among other projects reminiscent of science fiction.

But what’s happening at Nellis Air Force Base?

“I can’t tell you a lot,” Tinsley says. “I can tell is you is we’ve supported the Las Vegas community, Nellis Air Force Base, for over 20 years.”

He says the work is mainly for the Air Force in research and development, test and evaluation spectrum.

For more than three decades Nellis Air Force Base has been rumored to be the home of mysterious materials of unknown origin. The story, dismissed as folklore by military agencies and defense contractors, goes that a super-secret program housed in or near Nevada’s Area 51 military base has been attempting to reverse engineer alien technology.

Now it seems there may be some truth to the folklore, as key congressional committees have received closed-door briefings alleging that the rumors are true, and legislation is pending to encourage whistleblowers to step forward and share what they know about crashed saucers.

Radiance Technology isn’t able to confirm the allegations, but the company has positioned itself just in case. Months ago it announced the hiring of a reverse engineering specialist, longtime Navy intelligence official Jay Stratton, who was formerly the head of the Pentagon’s unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, task force.

Stratton urged Radiance to hire Dr. Travis Taylor, who worked with him as the chief scientist for the UAP task force.

When Radiance announced the hiring of two veterans of UFO research, the news releases didn’t hide the connection, pointedly mentioning their UFO credentials. But is the company worried about the perception they might be reverse engineering UFOs?

“No, we provide customer solutions,” Tinsley explains. “Whatever our customers want us to work on and support, then that’s what we’ll do.”

Taylor, for his part, isn’t saying what he and Stratton are working on but makes it clear what they’re hoping to tackle.

“Jay and I are working on growing the capabilities, doing reverse engineering of foreign materials,” Taylor explains. “If we were to get something to reverse engineer, we would absolutely want to do that.”

The Lebensborn Project

With what these wacko Christian Evangelicals are doing with abortion, along with the Republican Party giving into them, so they can sucker them into voting for them.

And with Trump talking about having White Women squirt out more White Babies.

There might be a more underlying motive on the abortion debate.

Theories are that the White Population in America is shrinking compared to non-whites. They want to boost up the White population ASAP.

Is it possible they plan on re-booting this long forgotten Nazi SS Program in the United States?

We will wait and see….:16:

The Lebensborn project was one of most secret and terrifying Nazi projects

Ian Harvey
January 13, 2013

https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/the-lebensborn-project-was-one-of-most-secret-and-terrifying-nazi-projects.html?andro=1&ios=1&safari=1

During World War Two around 12,000 blue-eyed, blond children were kidnapped by the Nazi’s elite security service, the SS.

The children were kidnapped as part of the Nazi’s grand plan to create a super Aryan race. They were known as the Lebensborn or The Fount of Life.

All of the children had blond hair and bright blue eyes, and included children as young as two to three years old.

It was Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, who was obsessed with creating the super race of blue-eyed, blond-haired people. Himmler had been fanatical about breeding the perfect master race, and even experimented with animals and tried to breed a pure white chicken.

The Aryan race was to replace the millions of Jewish people who had been interned or killed in the German concentration camps.

Folker Heinecke was one of the children taken from his mother at just four years old. Until 1942 Folker had been born and brought up with his family in the Crimea. The SS first took him to a German medical institute, where he underwent measurements and checks for his suitability.

Folker became a member of the Lebensborn. This was Himmler’s breeding programme for the master race that would secure Hitler’s vision of a thousand year Reich.

The programme called for both the kidnapping of suitable children from within German-occupied Europe, as well as creating breeding clinics where SS officer were required to mate with suitably chosen German women.

Then in northern Europe’s Scandinavian countries, where the Aryan race characteristics were, and still are, widespread, SS officers were told to mate with local women, regardless of whether they were already married.

Those born into the ‘Lebensborn’ were baptised at a special SS ceremony, where they were bound to the Nazi ideology for life.

The children and their mothers were treated like royalty. They were given the finest accommodation, homes, food and clothing. Children without families were housed in special orphanages, and then given to rich Nazi families to bring up.

Christening of a Lebensborn child, c.1936-1944​

Folker was given to Nazi parents. Now 67 years old, Folker says he remembers being lined up and the couples would come along and chose their new child like they were choosing a new pet.

Folker’s new father was a Nazi fanatic and was close friends with Himmler. Folker remembers Himmler visiting their home often. Folker’s journey since the war, leading him to find his real mother’s grave in the Crimea, has been made into a new documentary.

After the war the Lebensborn were persecuted, with their mothers labelled German whores, and the Norwegian government even attempted to deport thousands to Australia just to get rid of them.

Suicide among Lebensborn was extremely high and the children were prone to mental disabilities as well as alcoholism, excessive drug use and crime.

Anni-Frid Lyngstad, the Abba singer, was born from a Norwegian mother and German soldier father. Her family fled to Sweden where their secret was unknown.

Those who remained in their towns and villages were often beaten and raped. Priests even suggested that the Lebensborn should be sterilised to prevent them creating a Nazi race, the Mail Online reports.

A group of Lebensborn just last year launched a campaign in the European Court of Human Rights to seek compensation from the Norwegian government for their treatment in the post-war years.

The case was dismissed and they were offered a one off payment of a few thousand Euros.

Al Naslaa Rock

The Al Naslaa rock is a landform 50 km south of the Tayma oasis in Saudi Arabia. It is split down the middle into two parts, both balanced on small pedestals.

Aliens? Lasers? Water? What Caused the Al Naslaa Rock to Split So Precisely?

Aliens? Lasers? Water? What Caused the Al Naslaa Rock to Split So Precisely?

Split as if by a laser, the Al Naslaa rock in Saudi Arabia's Tayma Oasis baffles scientists and amateur geologists alike. How did this perfect split happen?

science.howstuffworks.com

Theories abound about the origin of the Al Naslaa rock formation, but the genesis of this massive geological phenomenon is likely to remain a mystery.

Located in Saudi Arabia's Tayma Oasis — the site of Saudi Arabia's oldest human settlement — Al Naslaa is comprised of twin sandstone rocks, balanced atop naturally formed pedestals — with a smooth gap running vertically between them, so precise it looks as if it was carved with a laser beam.

Scientists can't explain exactly how the 4,000-year-old geological formation was split down the middle, but the side-by-side boulders — each 20 feet (6 meters) tall — have the additional lure of visible petroglyphs that are thousands of years old. One of the most notable glyphs carved into the sandstone is an image of a person leading a horse that resembles an Arabian, one of the world's oldest horse breeds still in existence whose origins can be traced to Saudi Arabia in the seventh century, well before Al Naslaa was carved by human hands.

These perfectly balanced boulders have been the subject of many an origin story, with perhaps the most bizarre being space aliens. Social media users, including news aggregate Acerca del Mundo on its Facebook page, have pondered whether the precise cut could have been made by alien visitors possessing advanced technology.

"Some believe that this is the creation of the ancient gods or aliens. Considering that the formation looks as if it had been cut by a well-aimed laser, some believe that an alien descended into the Tayma Oasis and shattered the rock with advanced technology not available to humans in the formation of it," Acerca del Mundo posted.

Others believe the rock sits upon a fault line. This theory posits that the split in the rock was created when a weak spot was affected by a shift in tectonic plates.

Another theory posits that a "joint" within the rock may have split. A joint is an area within a rock, in this case sandstone, that becomes worn away and then separates the larger formation. Notably, joints found within sandstone rocks like Al Naslaa are more likely to exhibit vertical separations.

A freeze-thaw weather cycle could be credited with the Al Nalsaa formation, according to a third theory. If water seeped into the ancient boulder when it was still in one piece, then froze and expanded and later thawed, a crack would have formed and eventually divided the boulder.

Another interesting suggestion is that ancient humans are responsible for the awe-inspiring crack. Evidence remains that an unknown ancient civilization carved images into the rock, so it is possible these same people may have used tools to divide the rock into two large pieces, perhaps as artistic expression.

Whatever the cause of the split, the incredibly smooth edges were probably once jagged, then worn down and polished by thousands of years of blowing sand. Nature may be the most creative artist of all.

ERUV

Is this strictly for religious purposes….or is it part of the Jewmanti’s sinister, evil plan on world domination?

There are eruvin in more than 30 states in the U.S., but Manhattan's is one of the longest in the world. A nearly invisible wire runs from 126th Street in Harlem, down to Battery Park and back up to 111th along the East River. The line has been in place, in some form or another, for just over a century.

A Fishing Line Encircles Manhattan, Protecting Sanctity Of Sabbath

Monique LaBorde
May 13, 2019



A clear fishing wire is tied around the island of Manhattan. It's attached to posts around the perimeter of the city, from First Street to 126th. This string is part of an eruv, a Jewish symbolic enclosure. Most people walking on the streets of Manhattan do not notice it at all. But many observant Jews in Manhattan rely on this string to leave the house on the Sabbath.

The concept of the eruv was first established almost 2,000 years ago to allow Jews to more realistically follow the laws of Sabbath rest, particularly one — no carrying on the Sabbath.

According to the laws of Sabbath rest, nothing can be carried from the domestic zone into the public zone on Saturday. That means no carrying house keys or a wallet. It also means no pushing a baby stroller. For parents of young children, no carrying would mean not leaving the house on Saturday.

The eruv symbolically extends the domestic zone into the public zone, permitting activities within it that would normally be forbidden to observant Jews on the Sabbath.

Imagine a whole day cooped up in a Manhattan apartment with a toddler and no electricity. "You might be going a little bonkers because your apartment is so small," says Dina Mann. "But you don't realize it's so small until you're stuck in there and you can't go anywhere."

The Jewish Center in Manhattan maintains an interactive Google Map marking the boundary of the eruv.​

Mann lives on Manhattan's Upper West Side with her husband and two young children. They observe Sabbath rest, including refraining from carrying. She says, "If you're really really really strict, then you would not even pick up your child."

Dina Mann and her son walk in Riverside Park. The eruv boundary runs directly behind her.​

Mann and many others rely on the eruv every Saturday to leave the apartment with their children. Luckily, Manhattan's eruv has never been down. Rabbi Mintz, co-president of the Manhattan eruv, says: "It has never been down for a Sabbath. Never. We always save it at the last minute." Mintz noted that the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is always a particularly trying time.

More than 200 cities around the world are partially encircled by an eruv. Manhattan's certainly isn't the largest, but according to Mintz, it's the most expensive eruv in the world. It costs between $125,000 and $150,000 a year to maintain. Mintz helps raise the funds every year from synagogues and private donations.

Every Thursday before dawn, a rabbi drives the perimeter, checking to see if wind or a fallen branch has broken the line. There are usually a few breaks, so a construction company is called and the rabbi gets in a cherry picker with fishing line in hand to repair the eruv. That's the part that costs so much.

As it turns out, resting on the Sabbath takes a lot of preparation. Dina Mann says the eruv does more than just help her enjoy a Saturday walk in Central Park — it lets her enjoy the Sabbath. "There'a a warmth in the house the minute you light the candles," she says, "because you're rushing, rushing, rushing, making sure all the lights are on, making sure the candles are in there, making sure all the food is cooked. ... Then you just light the candles and just like let go of everything."

Most important of all, the eruv allows her to rest from worry.

Who’s at the Sun Valley Moguls Retreat This Year

Ted Sarandos, Bob Iger, Brian Roberts and David Zaslav were all seen arriving at the sun-bleached Allen & Company’s invite-only event.

Who’s at the Sun Valley Moguls Retreat This Year

Ted Sarandos, Bob Iger, Brian Roberts and David Zaslav were all seen arriving at the sun-bleached Allen & Company’s invite-only event.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos arrives at the Sun Valley lodge for the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference on July 8, 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho.​

Summer shined on the Sun Valley Lodge for the Allen & Company’s annual gathering of media, finance and tech titans this week.

But the storm clouds brewing over an entertainment industry facing unprecedented disruption from AI and other tech innovations means possible M&A deals are certain to be raised in Idaho among power brokers at the annual Sun Valley Conference during the usual hiking, golf and rafting on their schedules.

The invite-only Allen event, nicknamed “summer camp for billionaires,” had Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav captured by photographers as they arrived at the Sun Valley lodge for the annual gathering.

Iger recently turned thumbs down to following Warner Bros. Discovery and Comcast in splitting off some legacy TV assets from future-facing streaming platforms. But Sun Valley watchers will be looking to see how Iger gets to grips with extracting most out of Disney+ profit-wise as that platform chases streaming market leader Netflix.

Other Sun Valley arrivals included Apple CEO Tim Cook, who is taking heat from the Trump administration for not doing enough to shift iPhone production out of China, only to set up manufacturing in India, and CBS TV host Gayle King.

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts also arrived in Idaho after the NBCUniversal owner spun off a host of cable channels into a separate company, Versant. That aims to give NBCU more flexibility to pursue M&A activity, including potentially under the Idaho sun this week.

And former CEO of Disney Michael Eisner, and chairman and senior executive of IAC and Expedia Group Barry Diller, hot on the heels of the media mogul publishing his memoir, have also checked in at Sun Valley.

Other industry heavyweights in Idaho include former Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, chairman of Sirius XM Holdings Greg Maffei, a close collaborator with media veteran John Malone, and Wasserman Media Group CEO Casey Wasserman, the Los Angeles entertainment and sports management mogul.

Also seen arriving at the Sun Valley Lodge was OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who just bought former Apple designer Jony Ive’s startup io for $6.5 billion and may well be looking for other media and tech talent to support his expanding AI empire. Here’s more from the arrivals scene:

Disney chief Bob Iger arrives at the Sun Valley lodge.

CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman checked in this year.

YouTube CEO Neal Mohan arrives at the Sun Valley lodge.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is back.

Producer Brian Grazer made his way to Idaho.

Future SpinCo CEO Gunnar Wiedenfels, currently at Warners, also arrived at Sun Valley.

Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg walk to a morning session.

Casey Wasserman has collected his SV25 badge.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai walks to lunch at the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference.

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts arrives at the Sun Valley lodge.

Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Josh D’Amaro arrives at the Sun Valley lodge.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is back as well.

Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner is at Sun Valley this year.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy leaves the Sun Valley Lodge at the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference.

Former CEO of Disney Michael Eisner arrives at the Sun Valley lodge.
