We have a lot of ground to cover in this edition of the newsletter, but I want to highlight a discussion in the latter half of the newsletter. On Tuesday, I received a constant stream of panicked emails from readers forwarding stories (mainly circulating on Facebook) claiming Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act on April 20, 2025. Facebook’s fear-promoting algorithm was working overtime on Tuesday, suggesting that we are two weeks away from martial law. We are not.

The stories forwarded by readers initially focus on a kernel of truth—i.e., that Trump intends to invoke the Insurrection Act to assist with immigration enforcement at the Southern border--but then quickly pivot to speculations about what Trump “might” do. The articles assume that “the military” will violate the Constitution by obeying a hypothetical order to use force against American citizens. As explained below, we have more reason to trust t

Original Title: I found an antigravity rabbit hole that connects one of the AAWSAP DIRDs, Ning Li, Eskridge, Wallace, and a nuclear engineer with connections to the Air Force, DoD, LANL and Lockheed, to Ken Shoulders, Hal Puthoff, and Eric Davis AND this engineer wrote a very detailed article on UFOs


So, I was putting together some ideas to discuss how to go about engineering material to have specific isotopes patterned into them and started to do some research on why one may want to do this and fell down a deep rabbit hole that connects one of the DIRDs, Ning Li, Eskridge, Wallace, and a nuclear engineer, Dr. Patrick G. Bailey, with connections to the Air Force and DoD involved w

Zelenskyy warns Putin could cause World War III if not stopped in Ukraine, says Putin counting on U.S. instability during the 2024 election and says drone strikes will continue if Russia keeps attacking infrastructure.

We met President Zelenskyy as he prepared to depart Kyiv for the United States. This week, he will speak at the U.N. and meet President Biden. It is a critical time. U.S. officials tell us that over nearly 600 days, almost half a million troops have been killed or wounded—both sides, all together—part of the cost, so far, of Vladimir Putin's unprovoked invasion. We spoke to Zelenskyy on Thursday. He told us that his people are dying every day to prevent World War III.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (translated): We're defending the values of the whole world. And these are Ukrainian people who are paying the highest price. We are truly fighting for our freedom, we are dying we are not fiction, we are not a book. We are fighting for real with a nuclear state th
