More on the topic of aliens, and make of this what you will..has anyone heard of Project Blue Beam? Interesting short video. Sounds wacky but I write nothing off anymore;
”According to reputable sources, the government are going to fake a global alien invasion in the year 2024, in order to usher in a one world government.
Here’s where it gets really interesting.
In his 1994 book Project Blue Beam, investigative journalist Serge Monast writes that the United Nations, NASA and other government agencies have been working in secret since 1983 on a top-secret operation called Project Blue Beam.
The purpose? To pave the way for a global government by fooling people into thinking its the end of the world.”

Do they actually think most of the worlds population would believe Aliens were landing on Earth … oh hang on !!!.. 😂😂😂
Whenever aliens are mentioned, I always think of the abductees who – despite these ET’s travelling throughout galaxies and possessing telepathic abilities – always claim they were probed in a certain part of their anatomy. 🤣🤣
Which might explain my good friend Trish’s theory on the rising popularity of pegging?
Ooh, I say.
Whenever I think of aliens abducting people I think of Rotherham, Bradford, Rochdal, Telford, Oxford, Peterborough and the other cities plagued by grooming gangs.
You left Oldham out. Most unkind.
Yes, I’ve heard of this, Mogs. It seems like another of their go-to plans to get people scared and easily manipulated. They can then bring in martial law and restrictions etc just like what happens in all those Hollywood films. Complete nonsense of course – you’d have to believe that some alien civilisation had discovered the solution to extremely long haul space flight and had targeted this tiny planet in a minor solar system in a very remote part of the galaxy just to invade it and make us all slaves. It’s always the bad stuff never the good. I also heard that at the Beijing Olympics (I forget which year or whether it was summer of winter games) they introduced these incredible holographic images that could be displayed across the sky. They came with sound systems that were incredibly loud – thunderous in fact. Someone observed somewhere that such technology could potentially be used to give people the impression of an alien invasion. They’ve have all this technology at their fingertips for a while now so no doubt they’ve been able to refine it. We really are in Bond Baddie territory here because it feels that they will stop at nothing to create the fear, panic and chaos they need in which to step in and bring it all under control.
Did you ever see Cloverfield? It was a science fiction film where you never get to see the actual aliens invading and destroying things. All you get is a sense of dread and doom and you see buildings collapse or on fire and people running. So you just need to create that scenario because so many people have seen similar films and it’s like they are programmed into a certain type of response – get in the car and flee. I have often felt that certain Hollywood films are made to subtly programme us. How many virus contagion films or alien invasion films have there been in two decades? So many. Each one involves martial law and a completely new normal where people live in awful conditions and seem totally defeated. And it’s all fiction just like many of the things we’re being told are real. A narrative created by an author(ity).
Makes the conspiracy theory that the use of 5G on vaxed populace to suppress dissent by activating the metallic ions injected into you through RF radiation seem plausible.
When it gets to this level of dystopia, you can’t help but think this is biblical.
‘…you can’t help but think this is biblical.’ A very interesting observation. Certainly the themes we are dealing with are on a biblical scale. I’ve often thought of mythology and how this would be viewed, if humans are still around in hundreds or thousands of years, by our descendants. A time of momentous changes that we are, in some ways, incredibly fortunate to be living through despite the horror of it all. How did it all turn out? Did we manage to awaken as a species or did we succumb to the lower energy forces?
Yes, the times we are living in are happening according to Bible prophecy as God tells us the end from the begining. People won’t be around in hundreds or thousands of years because God is only giving us 6000 years and we are at the end of that now.
Cloverfield rings a bell. Or is it something else called The Cloverfield Paradox on Netflix I’m thinking of? Either way it sounds like the sort of thing I’d watch. Yes I was thinking the exact same thing about movies priming us for things like virus outbreaks and aliens. And now we have Tedros trying his best to drum up fear and hysteria because Marburg virus has been found in Equatorial Guinea…will that be the next Monkeybollox…?
With the UFO thing it’s a blatant Mick take though. Even if people were gullible enough to fall for the scamdemic, most have since been red-pilled so what are the odds on them ever believing in another manufactured ‘pandemic’, let alone a flipping ET invasion? Scraping the barrel territory, plain and simple, I don’t care how sophisticated your holograms are! LOL
Can I start the list of people who I want to be ‘probed’ first?? LOL!
Having read the balloons/aliens stories coming from the US, with a growing sense of incredulity, (and there are hundreds of them…they have gone totally off their chumps)….I agree it wouldn’t surprise me in the least what people are willing to believe anymore…
Yes. It’s an interesting big risk play. But if the Covid hoax pandemic could effectively fool billions, why not a well planned UFO invasion?
I favour the old trope of Aliens come down to save humanity from destroying itself. You know just before or during the use of nuclear missiles. Russia on the verge of defeat or, NATO entering directly into military invasion of Russia, leads to nukes going off, hey presto, giant spaceships appear in the skies like this:
https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/612531/Did-parallel-universe-open-up-Hundreds-see-floating-city-filmed-in-skies-above-China
Then all nations having proved they are no longer capable of governing themselves give their allegiance to an Alien imposed World Government that saves us from the corrupting influence of money, carbon dioxide, guns, meat etc…
Well if it plays out like that, we know it’s BS. And you, me, and the usual skeptics will be trying (again) to convince every hypnotised bone head that it’s fake.
I suppose the ‘aliens’ will be food- piling, searching for the unjabbed to consume, thereby necessitating the paternal governments to engage in another push of the ‘safe and effective’ sh**e in a syringe to avoid being eaten 🙄
I’ll take my chance with E.T. methinks.
Actually this article gives a broader over-view of the UFO PsyOp situation. I agree with Stew Peters;
”Online conspiracy theorists, meanwhile, have dismissed the latest UFO wave as a “psy-op” being waged by the US government.
Conspiracy podcast host Stew Peters, who was banned from Spotify in 2021 for spreading Covid misinformation, slammed the UFO reports as “fake”.
“We’re supposed to believe US pilots shot down an object over Canadian airspace but we let a massive spy balloon slowly float over US airspace for days without shooting it down. This is all FAKE!” he wrote on Twitter.
He later added, “EXPLANATION OF FAKE UFO ‘reports’: Our government doesn’t know how to govern unless they create some kind of fake threat to drag us into an entirely phony war.”
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/chinese-balloons-or-alien-invasion-theories-explode-as-us-shoots-down-fourth-mystery-object/TTESHXTOHVE7BMVIQ7HNJVAM6U/
My armchair explanation is that the Biden administration got heat for letting the (Chinese?) balloon waft across the US before shooting it down and found out that it made him look weak and indecisive, so they’ve gone out and shot three things out of the sky so he can look strong and decisive and ready to defend Ameiricuh.
In the small hours there was a story on the “world service” along the lines that there had been similar events, but that “the previous administration” did nothing about it.
Probably spot on ✅👍 It’s all Pathetic & getting beyond parody.
Yes, pathetic, hysterical, propaganda….take your pick?
Wang Wenbin, the Chinese Foreign Minister, said that at least 10 US high-altitude balloons have illegally flown over Chinese airspace, just in the last year….don’t see them going mental (or blaming aliens!)
I think America were partly flexing their ‘military might’ muscles…which has, in my opinion had the opposite effect to what they intended…?
….an article I read said the balloons were shot down with a AIM 9X missile, which costs in the region of $600.000 from a F22 Raptor Fighter Jet, which costs in the region of $200 million!
I’m thinking overkill…LOL!
I know I’m being a bit of a nerd here but I’ve found the reactions to all this mesmerising…..and you know how you ‘learn something new every day”?
Well, I wasn’t aware but apparently literally hundreds of weather balloons are released from hundreds of different countries, twice a day, every day…
”Twice a day, every day of the year, weather balloons are released simultaneously from almost 900 locations worldwide! This includes 92 released by the National Weather Service in the US and its territories. The balloon flights last for around 2 hours, can drift as far as 125 miles away, and rise up to over 100,000 ft. (about 20 miles) in the atmosphere!”
https://www.weather.gov/bmx/kidscorner_weatherballoons#:~:text=Twice%20a%20day%2C%20every%20day,the%20US%20and%20its%20territories.
who knew?? LOL
Also, isn’t it a bit strange that they can track a balloon all the way across a continent, but the moment they shoot it down they lose it? That’s pretty convenient.
And the media doesn’t call them out for this or for not telling us clearly and unambiguously what the bloody balloon was in the first place. Well that bit isn’t strange. That’s absolutely par for the course for the media. No awkward questions to those in power.
Blimey – James O’Keefe has been put on ‘paid leave’ by Project Veritas board. Just after their biggest scoop in their history. I smell a very large festering rodent: O’Keefe has put out a tweet saying he’s not suicidal and loves his life….

It’s becoming the norm for people put into similar positions like this – Mark Steyn was one and also Neil Oliver – to make statements attesting to their non-suicidal states of mind. Let’s face it, they know that TPTB are capable of murder especially when someone is revealing the truth.
I think just about everyone out there on the front lines of non-narrative discourse has done it!
“Old people should embrace ‘mass suicide’, says Yale professor” This fairly young (37) professor is itching to get old people out of the way because: He said his primary concern was how old people dominated positions of influence in Japanese society.
In tribal societies, where sense still prevails, they value older people because they have seen life and have, in many cases, that rare gift of wisdom. Some young people are also wise but clearly not this professor. He dismisses the collective wisdom of what effectively are the tribal elders and that wisdom can go some way towards keeping a society in check. It’s a shame a man in his esteemed position can’t see that. He betrays his own intelligence and displays his ignorance. If I were him, I’d shut up and listen to older people until he’s learned something.
What’s his age cut off for suicide and will he follow suit should he live to reach that age? He’s been watching too much Star Trek, obvs:

https://www.politico.eu/article/new-york-times-sue-european-union-ursula-von-der-leyen-pfizer-texts/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social
The New York Times is taking the European Commission to court over the executive institution’s failure to release text messages between its president Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.
The newspaper will face off against EU lawyers in the bloc’s highest court, arguing that the Commission faces a legal obligation to release the messages, which could contain information on the bloc’s deals to purchase billions of euros worth of COVID-19 doses.
Good..keep the pressure on..
“If an employee hears an upsetting conversation between customers they can then sue their employers for failing to protect them from that kind of harassment” Completely off the wall bonkers. You can’t legislate against people being offended by what complete strangers might say. All of us compadres, here, understand that. But what I cannot understand (maybe I can if I try to imagine a room full of nervously clucking idiots) is that the Commons passed this Private Members Bill at its first reading. Really?! Are they so utterly incompetent, blind, and stupid to see how impossible something like this would be to police? And how it further disempowers people to speak up for themselves or be mindful of what they say? How it’ll just enrich the lawyers and impoverish our lives because some peevish little twerp will try and make some money out of perceived slights. It’s completely totalitarian-nanny statism gone rubber bananas and should be thrown out on to the dung heap of lost causes quick pronto before it gains any more attention from all the shysters and shitdiggers.
Quite a bit of blowback online from Sy Hersh’s article ATL a few days ago that the US blew up Nordstream….
While I think you can question the details in his report…..I don’t think you can look at it in isolation from the rest of the evidence …..
Who has benefitted from the destruction? Only the USA…it now sends over 60% of its LNG to Europe…it was less than 20% a year ago…!
This video backs up Hersh’s claims I think, and there’s tons more where this came from…
https://uncaptured.substack.com/p/watch-2-minutes-of-us-official-incitement
WATCH: 2 Minutes of U.S. Official Incitement Against Nord Stream Pipeline
Condoleezza Rice in 2014..
“For the long run, you want to change the structure of energy dependence. You want to depend more on the North American energy platform. You want to have pipelines that don’t go thru Ukraine and Russia.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btk_Ldd3NF0
Hersh won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his uncovering of the My Lai massacre…
and was the person who uncovered the Iraqi prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib…
..both covered up by the military….and the US Government…
So..who to believe..or trust? Known liars or a proven journalist?
I’m going to believe him until proven otherwise…
Wherever the MSM is pointing, look in the opposite direction IMHO if one wishes to understand events.
The first comment under the TCW Net Zero article:
“Here’s the full quotation from Francis Menton (of the excellent Manhattan Contrarian):
The push toward Net Zero without a fully demonstrated and costed solution to the energy storage conundrum is analogous to jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, and assuming that the parachute will be invented, delivered and strapped on in mid-air in time to save you before you hit the ground. Now, before our advanced economies are destroyed, it is time to demand from our politicians and energy planners that they level with the public about the huge costs and the likely impossible technical requirements of the goals to which they have committed us.
The best and most succinct criticism of Net Zero I’ve seen.”
““Do face masks work?” – The latest review of their use during the pandemic suggests they did little to help, says Dr. Robert Dingwall in the Spectator.”
I don’t care if they work or not. I’m not going to wear one to prevent the spread of a low-consequence respiratory virus.
“Support Clintel in their ‘Climate Case of the Century’”
So I go to their website to pay some money to support them. Who do they choose as their main medium for payment?
The very people who want to clamp down on free speech… PAYPAL!!!
For goodness sake! They’ll probably block the payment just at the crucial moment a big lump sum is about to be sent.
.
Can someone explain, because I am at a loss…I thought that aerial surveillance was done by satellites. Why on earth would anyone use anything so low tech and, well, visible, as a balloon? Also I thought there were high altitude stealth type drones that could be used?
As for UFO sightings, frankly, pull the other one, but it wouldn’t surprise me that sightings are reported from every country that has previous WEF young leaders in its governments. I await with bated breath an admission that area 51 does house a flying saucer and alien remains, and they will release photos. That will ramp up the fear nicely. One has to ask, what is this sleight of hand for? Where are we not supposed to be looking at the moment?
Here?

I remember when I was a child there was a childrens’ series on the BBC.
I cannot remember it’s name, but the plot was that the World’s scientists were becoming worried about the instability around the world, wars, riots, civil disobedience, etc..
Then there were reports of people discovering pale egg shaped objects, about the size of a human hand, at the sites of all kinds of disasters, worldwide. Alarm grew when the scientific community reported them as being not natural, but not man-made. The only logical conclusion was that they were coming from outer-space, sent by aliens to bombard Earth, and the unknown perpetrators were referred to as “The Foe“.
The World’s governments met and united, working together for the common good and agreeing to join forces to identify and stop this alien attack.
Only then did we, the audience, discover that it had all been a plot by the World’s most eminent scientists working in secret, dropping the objects at disaster sites, in a bid to form a World government and World peace.
I wonder if someone at WEF has a copy of the script.

“Old people should embrace mass suicide” says 37 year old Yale professor.
In 2013 Taro Aso, the country’s finance minister, said the elderly should “hurry up and die” to spare the nation the cost of their medical care, according to the Telegraph article.
Wow. So how have they so quickly forgotten the covid mantra “nobody is safe until all are safe?” What happened to the idea that we have to sacrifice our jobs, our incomes, our social life – every part of normal life basically in order to save the elderly from catching covid (which is impossible, by the way)? I’m sure the message was the same in Japan as on the rest of the globe.
It doesn’t make sense. You can’t push two contradictory messages one after the other. The covid message was a lie, to bring about control and compliance, the message in Japan shows the true globalist agenda – kill the elderly, in fact – kill as many humans as you can because they are a blight on the planet.
