Post No. 3,446 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday, 9th May, 2026

I recently found the following interesting and/or useful, and am posting them here in case anyone else does as well. 

 

• From https://substack.com/@karimwafa/note/c-249537999 

I asked God for a sign 
and He gave me a heart that feels 
in a world that has forgotten how to.

• “Alien UFO Podcast: Aliens in Ancient Peru?”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast/id1602263087?i=1000766018313   “This week I’m talking to Steve Aspin and Andreas Lueck about their book “Investigating the Impossible: Biology Offers New Answers and Insights” Investigating the Impossible: biology offers new answers and Insights, co-written by author/investigator Steve Aspin and professional cellular biologist and geneticist Andreas Lück, PhD. The authors deploy the disciplines of cellular biology and genetics for a deep-dive investigation into mysterious cases where scientific data and recovered forensic artifacts exist for laboratory examination and analysis. Four separate, but related, subject areas are examined: 1 - The authenticity and provenance of the tridactyl Nazca mummies recovered in Peru in 2015, and the extensive testing carried out by C14 dating, CT and MRI scans, DNA & PCR sequencing and tissue sampling, detailing these scientific processes for the reader; 2 - The ‘alien’ hairs recovered from the Peter Khoury encounter in Sydney, Australia in July 1992, subsequently analyzed forensically by APEG and published by Bill Chalker in his 2005 book “Hair of the Alien”; 3 - The possibility of whether hybridisation between species originating from different biospheres as reported in thousands of alien abduction reports over 70 years might even be biologically possible; and - 4 - How to recognize and identify disinformation and misinformation about these subject areas in the unregulated morass of the online world. The book runs to 75,000 words in length and includes 80x images: photographs, diagrams, charts and illustrations of biological and genetic processes to assist the reader in better understanding the scientific content. Three Appendices, a brief Bibliography and detailed reference section of explanatory notes supplement the text. The authors have succeeded in making these often difficult scientific concepts, biological processes and descriptions of testing protocols into an engaging story. Furthermore, in attempting to explain these ‘impossible’ but provably real phenomena, some of their conclusions lead the reader beyond mainstream scientific consensus to explore realms entertained only by contemporary physics, mathematics and cosmology.”   

• “UAPCon 2 and What Drops Sunday”   https://mazetometanoia.substack.com/p/uapcon-2-and-what-drops-sunday   “On Carrying the Impossible and What I've Been Building Since January”   and   “I explored how contact experiences follow the structure of initiation rather than pathology, drawing on anthropological research, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and shamanic traditions as historical containers for threshold experiences. I also made the case that we have been collapsing two distinct questions: the ontological question of what happened and the empathy question of whether someone deserves to be believed, and that we can answer the second without settling the first.   ...   In August 2024, Luis Elizondo (the former head of the Pentagon’s UAP research program) published a book that became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. On page 85, he documented something I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.   A senior official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence had refused to continue investigating UAPs. His reason, delivered to Elizondo directly:   “There is no reason we should be looking into this. We already know what they are and where they come from. They are deceivers. Demons.”   This was not an outlier. Harry Reid confirmed the most significant internal opposition to UAP research came from officials with “religious views”.   ...   The people with the deepest access are abandoning the extraterrestrial framework. And when it fails, the only replacement available in the cultural inheritance is the medieval one.   This is exactly what my most-read essay was about.   “The Pentagon Calls Them Demons. The Ancient Greeks Called Them Daimons. Both Might Be Right” diagnosed the collapse: the medieval Church flattened a sophisticated Greek taxonomy of intermediary beings (each requiring discernment, and each with different functions and different character) into a single word requiring only rejection. The beings never changed. The name did. Ancient daimons became medieval demons”   This illustrates the evil influence of some religions very well, and, on that, the author is about to publish a series of articles on what to do about the problem, but the author (particularly in her presentation at the conference) also shows the vital importance of a supportive community etc - which is what industrial societies have lost.   

• Sigh. Sorry, Anton - what has been reported is in the exact gland that is most commonly associated with the metaphysical “Third Eye”, so, metaphysically speaking, there could indeed be a connection ... but this video is fascinating for the science on the development of eyes (especially how many times they have developed)   “We Actually Have a Third Eye (And It’s Not Metaphysical)”   https://youtu.be/6LP3n9V7H_8   

• This is a good overview/introduction, but there is one crucial bit of additional information to add, which I will list at the end of this paragraph:   “Alien UFO Podcast: The Majestic 12 UFO Documents”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast/id1602263087?i=1000766779937   “Few stories in UFO history have had as much impact, or mystique, as the Majestic 12 Documents. Surfacing in the 1980s through anonymous delivery, these papers claimed to reveal the existence of a classified government group formed in 1947 under direct presidential order. Its name was simple, almost elegant: Majestic 12, or MJ-12. Its mission was anything but ordinary. According to the documents, twelve of the most powerful scientists, military commanders, and intelligence officials in the United States were appointed to quietly oversee the investigation and recovery of extraterrestrial technology following the now-legendary Roswell crash. The contents read like a cosmic briefing. Allegations of retrieved alien craft. Mentions of recovered biological entities. Reports of engineering attempts to understand technology far beyond the limits of mid-century science. Rather than dismiss these accounts, many researchers embraced them, noting the incredible consistency between the documents and known historical events. Names such as Vannevar Bush, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, and James Forrestal, the kind of men who truly would have been called upon for such a task—appeared across the pages, adding weight to what could easily have been dismissed as fantasy. What made the Majestic 12 Documents extraordinary wasn’t just their claims—it was how calmly they were presented. There was no sensationalism, no theatrical language. Each page read like official correspondence, the kind reserved for war briefings and nuclear protocols. If these papers were fabricated, they were crafted with a precision and institutional familiarity that bordered on uncanny. Yet many believe there is no fabrication at all. Instead, they view the documents as fragments of a slow, deliberate disclosure, one that trickles out just enough truth to prepare the public for what is already known behind closed doors. The question is no longer whether the government keeps secrets. The real question is: how much of our reality has already been quietly acknowledged in rooms we will never enter? As listeners step into this episode, they are invited not to doubt, but to imagine. What if Majestic 12 was real? What if the greatest discovery in human history was made not in the open, but in silence? And what if, decades ago, someone decided it was finally time for us to know?”   Two more overviews are   “FBI File: Majestic-12”   https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/majestic-12/   and   “Majestic 12”   https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Majestic_12&oldid=1351563972   The additional piece of information is:   “After 80 Long Years, the Coverup is Collapsing at Last”   https://unknowncountry.com/whitleys-journal/after-80-long-years-the-coverup-is-collapsing-at-last/    

• “In Conversation with Lyla Tracy”   https://youtu.be/CNyGqaCh27o   from Breaking the Silence   “Lyla Tracy has been experiencing strange beings of light for years at her home in the deep forest for years and she has been documenting them on video and with witnesses that have stayed at her home. They have seen them too.   Spend an hour with us while we talk about non-human intelligence.”   This is one of the most fascinating conversations I have watched on this channel - a wide range of topics were covered. Well worth a view    

 

 

• “Being AuDHD feels a lot like being Biracial”   https://youtu.be/wxZeEMzYgZA   

• “How the Therapy System Is Letting Autistic Adults Down”   https://youtu.be/XROjgZ8FBaY   “A lot of autistic adults go to therapy. Some get real help. Others leave more frustrated and misunderstood. The problem is not whether therapy can work. The real question of how to fit therapy to each individual ...   In this episode of Clinical Breakdown, we look at what the research says about therapy for autistic adults.   We also look at why some approaches do help. Discuss structured interventions like CBT.  Research from autistic adults themselves shows that the most helpful therapy adaptations are often neurodiversity-affirming, practical, sensory-aware, and explicit about expectations, session structure, and communication.”   FWIW, I have found CBT useless - but know others do find it useful. My concern is the disparagement of emotions.

My article(s) on SubStack: 

• “Intergenerational transfers and updates of knowledge”   https://musingsofgnwmythr.substack.com/p/intergenerational-transfers-and-updates   “Strengths, weaknesses, and changes through time ... ”   In this, I reflect on themes from "Babylon Five," particularly Lorien’s remarks about allowing younger races to become independent, responsible adults. This resonates with my observations on how major technological and knowledge shifts require re-presenting past knowledge to remain relevant and comprehensible. These updates are not merely fashion-driven - although some such actions are due to ongoing generational challenges such as ego and greed. As an example of a significant change over time and perhaps generations, I note the shift in the UFO/UAP/ET field from a focus on physical evidence to the significance of consciousness, which has had contributions from both older and younger researchers. Additionally, older individuals need to recognise when to adapt their roles to remain impactful, which requires a change rather than exclusion from the dialogue, and younger individuals may need to recognise the value of the old.   

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

• “Draining the Lifeblood of History: Trump’s Assault on the Evidence of Now”   https://youtu.be/BzDC36Q53HI   “Tr_mp declared total victory. H_gs_th called it historic and overwhelming — a capital V. Leavitt called it a historically swift triumph. Iran declared victory too.   This is not spin. This is the record being written in real time, loudly, with full institutional force — because the story you establish first, with enough volume behind it, is the one future people have to fight through to reach the truth.   Here is what that story is competing against. Iran’s regime is still in place. The enriched uranium is still under Iranian control. Thirteen Americans died. A human rights group documented 1,665 Iranian civilian casualties, including 248 children. There is a two-week ceasefire and two competing negotiating proposals. Every hard question unresolved.   And while the victory declarations were still echoing, Trump’s Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel declared the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional — arguing in a 52-page memo that Congress cannot preserve presidential records “merely for the sake of posterity.” The American Historical Association and American Oversight are now suing to stop it.   That is not a coincidence sitting next to the Iran story. That is the operation. Flood the present with the version you want. Thin the archive future people will use to check it. Historians are not a neutral tribunal waiting at the end of time. In this country they have been one of mythology’s most reliable delivery systems — the founders wrapped in sanctification, Reconstruction buried under a lie for a century, the same presidential canon reproducing itself decade after decade. The profession does not automatically correct power. It has spent most of its history flattering it.   Jefferson warned Adams in 1815 that without the records of what actually happened, someone else would fill the gap. Someone always does.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”   

• “What Hungary Means — And Doesn’t -- For American Resistance”   by public resistance historian Tad Stoermer   https://youtu.be/b79ax4532Y4   “Let’s not learn the wrong lesson from Hungary.   What happened there was historic. Orbán lost after sixteen years. Turnout hit about 80 percent, a post-Communist record. Younger voters were central to breaking Fidesz’s hold. That matters.   But the easy takeaway — "look, elections can topple authoritarians" — is too simple to be useful. Yes, elections can remove an authoritarian from office. No, elections by themselves do not dismantle the system that put him there, kept him there, and enriched everyone attached to him.   Start with why Hungarians turned out like that. Not because democratic pieties suddenly moved them. Because Orbán’s system had been failing them in ways people could feel in their daily lives. Corruption. Stagnation. Hollowed-out public life. What little EU money there was routed through loyalist networks while ordinary people watched wages stall, services fray, and the future narrow. The people who grew up under Orbán were not voting on theory. They were voting on what his rule had done to their country.   The turnout comparison with the United States is worth making, but only if we tell the truth about it. The last time Americans got anywhere close to this level nationally was the Gilded Age. In 1888, turnout was roughly 80 percent. But that was not some golden age of civic virtue. It was a party-system peak: machine politics, patronage, intense partisan loyalty, public or easily monitored voting, and in plenty of places direct coercion. Voting was often less an expression of free democratic choice than a function of who controlled your job, your neighbourhood, or your place in the local order. When that system changed, turnout collapsed. So no, the American lesson is not “just turn everybody out.” Turnout is not magic. It is produced by structures, incentives, and stakes.”
