Are smartphones turning us all into a new and strange alien species? That was the rather unusual initial reaction I had to reading the recent Cass Review into the remorseless rise of transgenderism amongst U.K. youth, which directly linked the twin manias of social media use and gender confusion in our increasingly muddled and brainwashed teens.
It would seem the first major spikes in teenage admissions to U.K. gender clinics around 2014 or so neatly overlapped with the first major period of smartphone ownership and social media fixation amongst those very same adolescents. Upon these newly-ubiquitous devices kids could easily be exposed to constant grooming by online influencers and gender ideologues – and maybe even, in some strange people’s eyes, to online grooming by actual full-blown extraterrestrial ‘gaylien’ beings.
Invaders of Uranus
Such influencers do often appear rather extraterrestrial-looking to my own jaded and gender-sceptical eye, their more extreme examples frequently going way beyond simple imitation of the opposite sex and actively seeking to make themselves look as bizarre, deformed and post-human as possible – the images on the above links (please do click on them to see just what breeds of eldritch insanity we are up against here) may seem at first glance as if they are photos of real-life cenobites from the Hellraiser horror-movie franchise, but are in fact of an extreme Welsh drag queen named Salvia.
The following tweet from a trans person, whose profile photo suggests he/she/it rather self-IDs as an ET too, hints at some of the possible underlying emotional reasons such people may choose to dress in this outright off-planetary way:
That’s precisely what the Silurians used to say in Doctor Who.
Here, meanwhile, is a genuine video from someone American named Jareth Nebula (not her real birth-name) who claims to have “transitioned into an alien” – an “agender alien”, no less. Simply by tattooing herself, wearing odd-coloured make-up and donning strange clothing, Mx. Nebula appears to sincerely think she can shift species. Alarmingly, there are other people out there who have tried doing something similar. These queerdos – a genuine subculture term, not my own invented insult – make Ziggy Stardust look normal (tellingly, Jareth’s new trans-ET-name was directly inspired by the name of Bowie’s character ‘Jareth the Goblin King’ in 1980s fantasy-flick Labyrinth).
Of course, the typical freak-show contestant upon any given episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race is not literally a Martian (at least not as far as I know), but I mean my comparison of such otherworldly-looking entities to alien beings to be taken purely metaphorically, not literally. Yet there are some people out there who think the precise opposite.
What follows below may seem at first glance to be nothing more than a severely deluded UFO-related conspiracy theory – because it is. But people often miss how one of the most interesting points about conspiracy theories (and I mean genuinely false conspiracy theories here, not simply dissenting narratives about inconvenient issues like climate change arbitrarily mislabelled as such) is that, whilst factually untrue, they do function nonetheless as easily digestible, narrative-based, collectively created folk-allegories for the kind of things which may actually be going on in the world around us in less overtly outré, occult or supernatural form.
Might certain transgenderists be alien beings after all, but only allegorically so? Let’s dive deep down inside the rabbit-hole and find out.
Close Encounters of the Christian Kind
As traditional belief-systems collapse across the increasingly post-Christian West, various recent surveys appear to demonstrate that almost as many Americans now believe in life on other planets as believe in God Himself.
Some saucer-sceptical Christians would just shrug upon hearing the above news, citing G.K. Chesterton’s (reputed) old dictum that, once man stops believing in God, he doesn’t start believing in nothing, he starts believing in anything.
Some more open-minded Christians have begun making a more interesting speculation, however. What if UFOs were real, but the ‘aliens’ supposedly piloting then were not really ETs at all… but the demons of Hell, come to tempt us into embracing some hideous new post-human future, of which transgenderism is a key Satanic component?
There is a legend in ufology about the alleged existence of a top-secret U.S. governmental organisation, the Collins Elite, who supposedly looked into UFOs on behalf of the Pentagon from the 1950s onwards, ultimately concluding they were of demonic origin. Why would demons begin piloting spaceships? Believers in the idea suggest that, if aliens did ever land on the proverbial White House lawn, they might well bring an alien god along with them, much as Spanish Conquistadors did with their own Christian one when they landed in the New World.
As the successful space-travellers would, by definition, be far more technologically advanced than we puny Earth-bound humans are, this may make their false deity seem more appealing to many impressionable terrestrial folk, causing them to forfeit their immortal souls by switching allegiance to the fake Space-God of Zeta Reticuli or wherever. Thus, by impersonating ‘benign’ spacemen, demonic soul-harvesters could have much to gain from this whole charade – the basic plot of C.S. Lewis’ classic 1945 Christian sci-fi novel That Hideous Strength, it should be noted (see my cautionary article on Lewis’ parable here).
The whole wild story has its origins in a 2010 book, Final Events: And the Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife, by British-born ufologist Nick Redfern. In the late 2000s, Redfern was approached by various figures claiming to be from the Collins Elite, who outlined their findings, hoping to warn mankind of our imminent peril. Were they telling the truth? Well, it’s certainly one possible explanation for the otherwise puzzling contemporary existence of Dylan Mulvaney.
Gray Eminences
According to Redfern’s informants, the group were formed following a Federal investigation into the dubious activities of the leading California-based rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who was suspected of contact with foreign powers. However, the true powers and principalities he aspired to make a pact with turned out to be demonic in nature, at least in his own drug-addled view. Parsons was a known follower of the teachings of the infamous English occultist Aleister Crowley, and an early believer in UFOs, which he hoped would “play a part in converting the world to Crowleyanity”. But how?
In 1918 Crowley engaged in a magickal (his preferred spelling) exercise dubbed ‘The Amalantrah Working’, during which, under the influence of hashish and mescaline, he purportedly established contact with an otherworldly demonic “Enochian Entity” named Lam. Crowley drew a portrait of Lam, which for many years just seemed the insignificant scribble of a drug-addict – until, in 1987, U.S. sci-fi novelist Whitley Strieber published his bestselling autobiography Communion, detailing his alleged status as an alien abductee at the hands of a band of rather queer-sounding anal probe-wielding bedroom invaders.
Communion’s cover famously featured a painting of one of the ETs whom Strieber said had kidnapped and mercilessly bum-probed him… and it looked uncannily like Crowley’s Lam. With their giant, domed foreheads, large, elongated, wrap-around eyes (albeit admittedly black and pupil-less) and attenuated, almost non-existent, noses and mouths, Strieber’s aliens, labelled the ‘Grays’ due to their dullish skin-color, strongly resembled the very same non-human species to which Lam belonged – if you don’t know them, they’re the ones later made famous by being seen in The X-Files.
Long before Communion’s publication, the Collins Elite had already theorised that, during some of his own occult ceremonies held in the Mojave Desert – a key early flying saucer hotspot – Jack Parsons had somehow managed to open a doorway into Hell, allowing Lam-like demons posing as flesh-and-blood ETs to pass. After all, many of the earliest human-contacting aliens of the 1950s claimed to hail from Venus, planet of love and sex: also known, in its guise of the morning star, as Lucifer …
Beware of Grays Bearing Gifts
You may reasonably be inclined to dismiss all this as a mere religiously-tinged myth of the early military-industrial complex – but myths can sometimes possess certain symbolic truths of their own nonetheless. One of the Collins Elite’s strangest theories centred upon the notorious Roswell UFO crash of 1947 in New Mexico, which in truth was essentially a hoax. According to Nick Redfern the Collins Elite disagreed, thinking tall tales of indestructible alien super-metals found at the scene of the crash were really the creation of demonic alchemists who had brewed them on another planet where they handily had access to different chemical elements than existed here on Earth.
Then, impressed U.S. authorities, when they found the fake device, would try and back-engineer its miraculous-seeming contents for Cold War military benefit, thus creating a base technological entry-point for the demons into our future mechanised and computerised post-WWII world, perhaps in the form of diabolical AI.
The downed Roswell ‘saucer’, therefore, functioned as nothing but a technological ‘Trojan Horse’, reminiscent of the theory of retired U.S. Army Colonel Philip J. Corso, detailed in his unlikely 1997 book The Day After Roswell, that the crashed craft, and the charred Gray alien bodies reputedly also retrieved alongside it, were just decoys. The genuine space invaders, Corso said, were incorporeal, and inhabited the onboard transistors and silicon chips which were cunningly designed to be just about comprehensible and replicable to human scientists at Bell Laboratories, where such devices were soon ‘invented’ with suspicious speed and ease.
Corso didn’t say the computer-ETs were demons, but even if nothing but a mere fable designed to garner attention and money from the book-buying public during the heyday of 1990s X-Files mania, his yarn still works very well as a fictional metaphor for mankind’s increasing colonisation by queerdo-spawning, alien-seeming, technological devices like smartphones, wearable tech, AI and Elon Musk’s promised/threatened ‘neural lace’ computer-brain-interface devices – or, in demonic terms, for our willing, consumerism-led mental possession by them, perhaps. In this view, Corso’s book becomes just another version of Faust (or C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength) repackaged as ‘fact’ for a modern age, with the aliens acting as Mephistopheles.
Alien-ated Youth
Undoubtedly, whether secretly designed by demonic ETs or not (and such barely humanoid Silicon Valley drones as Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg certainly seem eminently worthy of such pejorative labels to me) smartphones today are indeed increasingly leading a naïve and vulnerable humanity astray – tempting mankind’s younger members, like Salvia and Jareth Nebula, to try and become a whole new species, as implied by the findings of the Cass Review.
Alarmingly, as I have shown elsewhere, there are some fringe occultist freaks in Silicon Valley who really do genuinely aspire to conjure electronic transgender devils online, thereby to cause humanity to forcibly mutate into equally genderless ET demon-things torn straight from the pages of H.P. Lovecraft.
If you look at the Lam-like ‘Grays’ first reputedly encountered by Whitley Strieber in Communion, then they too were curiously genderless beings: although generally wandering around their saucers naked, they are often spoken of as being ‘all smooth down below’, having no visible external genitalia, like Ken and Barbie dolls, nor do they appear to have any breasts or pubic hair. When they anally probed poor Whitley, for example, they had to use futuristic living robotic dildo-things, not their own non-existent phalluses, as even a current contestant on Ru Paul could still today have done.
So post-human have the Grays purportedly become, they don’t even appear able eat or excrete, having veins filled with purest chlorophyll, and, just like increasingly childless modern-day Westerners, nor do they seem competent to reproduce properly any more: the most common reason given for their appearance inside the bedrooms of Planet Earth is that they want to steal the sperm of sleeping humans to create new hybrid-species babies with.
Like David Icke’s imaginary lizard-people, are these strange beings really just some kind of collective, unconsciously produced, mythic metaphor for the potential hideous evolutionary route which may lie in wait for our own current (post-)humanity at some point in the distant future, if we all carry on down our current, Leftism-enforced, self-destructive civilisational and scientific paths? Given limitless access to the corrupting influences of technology and mass media in the post-WWII world, fallen mankind (in the West, anyway) really does seem to be becoming more and more like the dismal and bloodless Grays, whether we realise it or not. The Grays are even frequently said to have lectured their alleged abductees about the dangers of climate change!
In a symbolic sense, possibly the Collins Elite’s hypothesised enemy aliens and demons alike really have landed and conquered us (or at least our minds) already, without us even knowing, and without a single shot being fired: and the very handheld device you are probably currently reading this article on is the top-secret Trojan Horse super-weapon they have used to defeat us with.
If so, as many appalled readers of the Cass Review may recommend, maybe you should try turning it off?

The most important piece isn’t mentioned: the bureaucracy
None of these things can be achieved without a willing and enthusiastic bureaucracy.
Hitler could have ranted all he wanted about exterminating jews, but it wasn’t until he got his hands on the German state bureaucracy that all his ideas and schemes could be put into practice.
Political ideologues don’t get things done. Disciplined and well directed bureaucracies do.
And what we find is that bureaucrats are more than willing to expand their power and reach and infiltrate every nook and cranny of our lives.
As Arendt herself pointed out it was the cold, methodical, thoughtless obedience.of the state bureaucrat thinking he was doing the right thing that really chilled her bones.
As has been pointed out people commit the most evil acts under the illusion that they are doing some service or even sone good.
Ah yes, the functionaries. The useful idiots. Lovers of rules, they seek the comfort of being told what to do, by people they believe have their best interests at heart. The ones whose parents never punished them fairly, the ones whose parents always patronised them.
Their weakness, however, is that they fail to recognise the presence of people who do not think like them. Thus, they believe everyone is following the rules. It never occurs to them that there are those who manage to avoid their kindergarten, and have found ways to live freely… despite the rules.
So, where the fool tries to look different, the wise man looks the same, but is different.
The most important piece isn’t mentioned: the bureaucracy
None of these things can be achieved without a willing and enthusiastic bureaucracy.
Actually, nothing significantly above the level of subsistence farming can be achieved without usually professional administration experts, neither by the state nor by private enterprises.
And your point is, what,exactly?
Isn’t that obvious? Bureaucracy is not necessarily working for a sovereign government and outside of the Marxist paradise the neoliberals are trying to sell to us, it’s an inevitable feature of human enterprises above the mom-and-pop level.
t’s a valid point.
I suppose what I’m really referring to is public bureaucracies which impose administrative rules on us, rules we can rarely escape. And with the backing of brute force if necessary.
Business bureaucracies are directed at supplying us with goods and services that we (typically) can freely chose to purchase or not.
So Pfizer’s bureaucracy can produce and distribute all the covid jabs it wants but it’s only the state bureaucracy that can force or coerce us into taking one. Without the backing of the state bureaucracy, Pfizer would have sold a tiny fraction of the covid jabs it did, if any.
The state bureaucracy also isn’t one we can opt out of funding. And it seems to have a life of its own. The bigger it gets the more funding it seems to suck in to continue growing like a cancer within a body that is incapable of stopping its growth.
The corporate totalitarianism the article talks of depends entirely on a publicly funded state bureaucracy. Corporations couldn’t do it without the state bureaucracy.
The state bureaucracy […] seems to have a life of its own. The bigger it gets the more funding it seems to suck in to continue growing like a cancer within a body that is incapable of stopping its growth.
That’s a (mis-)feature of our current (western) political systems because the people who can impose new taxation are virtually identical to those who can create public jobs. As they can award themselves whatever money they want, the public bureaucracy can never become too inefficient to be still fit for purpose.
Compare this, for instance, with the general political arrangement of the German empire before ‘parliamentarism’ (aka SPD-rule): Government was run by the monarch who also had to pay for its expenses. But taxes could only be imposed when parliament agreed (I’m simplifying this a little) and even if it was willing to do so, it will usually have wanted something in return. Hence, there was strong incentive to get by without asking parliament for new money and no way cancerous growth of ‘bureaucracy’ could have happened.
The bureaucracy has always been in place hasn’t it – Whitehall?
Perhaps 90% of populations are oblivious to this stuff. They come home from work and switch on their 6 O’clock News to be brainwashed about climate, renewable energy, racism, equality, diversity, gender etc etc and they will swallow it all down. They are way too busy with work and family life to investigate everything for themselves and their TV News has this air of authority about it as if Investigative Journalism has taken place and they have looked into all of this stuff on our behalf and are presenting FACTS. ————-Nope, sorry they are presenting dogma.
It wouldn’t occur to a great many people that our leadership and media are anything but benign.
That’s been a significant stumbling block in any conversation I’ve attempted.
I was always fascinated by how Germany changed so quickly 90 years ago, easily mesmerized by a powerful orator, and my amateur historical research taught me power is frequently (always?) abused and that corruption was (and very likely is) everywhere.
Create a power structure and, even if the initial holders of the positions are ‘good eggs’, the roles will be rapidly inhabited by those least suited for them. It’s the human condition and always has been…
… except nowadays, according to some.
My argument tends to be along the lines of “why then, but not now?” but it’s hard going and few listen.
Or as Lord Acton pointed out “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
“Western liberal democracy and Christianity have provided little resistance to woke culture or corporate totalitarianism”
Because the Church is captured too!
with an Archbishop like we have, if he was put there to deliberately undermine Christianity, what would he be doing differently?
Corporate totalitarianism derives from para-statal corporatism, simply another malignant offshoot of socialist fascism, not so much different to state ownership itself.
Massive corporations feed off state funding by manipulating the state procurement system. They love DEI and other forms of state imposed regulation as barriers to entry for their more efficient and agile, cheaper competitors.
These competitors, the life blood of Germany’s manufacturing success, for example, do not have the resources to shadow state bureaucracy in the way that cumbersome massive para-statals can manage.
Deregulation and a reduction in the size of the state go together like, oh, I don’t know, maybe a horse and carriage?
Remind me, which party is offering reduced state spending, a more efficient state?
Tumbleweed……..
Reform!
UKIP!
Put Ben Habab at the helm, not that slippery jab pushing Tice.
ReformUK appears to be more like a private company than a political party. Some reports suggest Tice and Farage own the brand name so I don’t think he is going to sack himself as Farage doesn’t seem interested in leading a political party anymore. The party members have no say in anything and they have no branches. Having said that they are on mid teen poll ratings so they may be able to play a part in helping to destroy the fake Conservative Party. That is if Tice doesn’t do the dirty and stand his candidates down as Farage did to save Tory skins.
If you vote Reform, you may as well vote Tory. Once they’ve hoovered up all the disaffected Tory votes, they’ll merge Reform with the Tories and it will be containment job done. (Of course there will be a fig leaf of how “We are moving the Tory Party to the right” LOL!)

This week I was contacted by my GP surgery and told that I was now eligible for a regular medical check-up (due to age). They’ve only seen me twice in 8 years – when I registered and pre-Covid, for ear-wax removal. I’m unjabbed.
It’s become easy to envisage a future where the “free” medical check will be used to monitor declining health as you get older and to schedule in the date at which you will be terminated.
I’d ignore them. Chances are that they just want to do something useless and reasonably easy they can bill the NHS¹ for.
¹ Some time before COVID, my GP was effectively privatized, ie, turned into a service run by Virgin doing contract work for the NHS. On threat deregistering me due to not going to the doctor (an obvious attempt at defrauding the NHS), they did a bloodletting with me and measured my height and weight. They’ve also been somewhat keen of getting me on “Must not stop taking this!” medication but I stopped it nevertheless and the attempt faltered due to COVID. I’ll see what I do should they eventually remember me but I’ll try to avoid anything they can come up with. When I’m not sick, I’m not going to see a doctor.
I politely told them “no thanks …. I’m perfectly healthy. When I think there’s something wrong I’ll get in touch” ….. except I won’t.
I really liked this article – thank you. Many years ago (1996) I was given a book to read entitled ‘When Corporations Rule the World’. Dr David C. Korten who set out the disastrous betrayal of common people and future generations being carried out by corporations, governments and multi-lateral banks. Most of what he foresaw has come to pass.
I got a book on General Smedley Butler and the plot to seize the White House and instal a fascist regime there. When it was exposed in 1934 the New York Times covered up the big names like JP Morgan etc. It has been going on for a long time, just more apparent since 2020.
