Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, with Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol, on why Trump's MOAB can't crack Iran's Pickaxe Mountain. Ali's sources in Islamabad say MBS asked Pakistan for help, repeatedly, and Pakistan said no. Johnson, who briefed a UN Security Council Arria-formula meeting on Wednesday, says Europe will start a war with Russia it will regret.
The show also covers what the MOAB can and cannot do, why Pakistan will not fight Ansar Allah for MBS, what Pakistani and Turkish officers told MBS about Israelis in his war room, how Johnson expects the war to end and China's role, and why diesel is short in a country that makes more than it uses.
The Islamabad decision, MBS's requests and the war-room account are the host's own sourcing and cannot be independently verified. Johnson's Europe and MBS forecasts are his analysis.

Episode 2052. Alexander breaks down General Gerasimov's briefing to Putin, confirming the fall of Dobropillia, the capture of Oleksiievo Druzhkivka and Russian troops entering Druzhkivka as the pincers close around Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. He explains why the sacking of Azov commander Prokopenko, the stalled Operation Vivaldi and Putin's order to keep up strikes on bridges, rail and energy point to a deepening crisis for Ukraine, while Zelensky asks the EU for 155 billion euros and Trump waives Lindsey Graham's bone crushing sanctions. Is the battle for Kramatorsk about to begin?

SpaceWeatherNews on a galactic magnetic reversal, with the episode framed around signs that are amplifying. Today's linked notes cover Chandra's Treble Clef, a radio structure shaped by a black-hole outburst and a collision of two galaxy clusters; a check of zodiacal dust models at small solar elongations; survival odds for heliospheric energetic neutral atoms seen by IMAP; and heliosheath pickup ions along Voyager 2, tied to the low-energy ENA gap.
Max Igan, on INSPIRED with John Nolan, says the legal and government system is a fiction that exists only because people believe it, and that fighting it is fighting a cloud. He traces that view to a meditation around 2008 in which he saw the world as an emotional mirror and a loss of self, and he argues that people do not need to prove sovereignty to a system they never contracted with.
He tells Nolan he left Australia in 2021 after a shooter's licence arrived and he believed police were setting him up, and that he now lives mostly in Mexico. The conversation also covers Gaza as a moral test, wars he calls cover for depopulation, the smartphone as the base of a surveillance grid, and what he says still matters: the integrity of one's spirit. This Crowhouse upload mirrors the INSPIRED interview.
John Mearsheimer tells Glenn Diesen that the end-of-history moment failed once unipolarity gave way to a multipolar order of the United States, China, and Russia, and that a liberal international order cannot hold when two of the three great powers are not liberal democracies. He says Europe's nightmare is poisoned relations with Russia after an ugly Russian victory in Ukraine, and the chance that the American pacifier leaves Europe for East Asia.
Mearsheimer argues Russia treats the war as an existential threat and will not lose, and that Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil push Moscow to wreck Ukraine as a functioning state. He ties Trump's diesel deal and pressure on Zelensky to the Iran war and the world economy, and he expects Trump to back off cutting intelligence and Starlink. He also says the Houthis are hitting Saudi oil routes, including Yanbu, that another short bombing campaign will not do what a 40-day campaign failed to do, and that wars are much easier to start than to end.
The Duran, episode 2650, on Zelensky blaming Trump for Ukraine's defeat, claims of a US intelligence cutoff, and Russian Zircon strikes the hosts say the US cannot track. They cover Ukrainian refinery strikes and Flamingo missiles, Su-34 claims and Starshield targeting, six ballistic missiles with no air-raid warning, and Zelensky courting Democrats and Congress.
The episode also takes up the claim that Ukraine collapses without US intelligence, the argument that Trump did not cut military aid, an FP9 missile and Starlink throttling, Putin, Trump, Tomahawks and a diesel-oil deal, how Russia could respond, Russia's nuclear doctrine and pressure on Kiev, and whether Moscow has ever been hit by a ballistic missile.

He elaborates on the deeper meaning of such concepts as work, commitment, choice, clarity, purity, transformation and higher consciousness.
Daniel Liszt presents Dark Journalist X-241 on Morris K. Jessup in the Hot Zone, the triangle he draws between western Cuba, Bimini, and the Yucatán. With Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Cayce he reads it as Poseidia, the last island of Atlantis. The technology in that account is Cayce’s two-eye stone. Liszt splits Atlantis between the Children of the Law of One and a Belial group, and says the island sank when the stone was tuned too high. Survivors of that culture, not visitors from another galaxy, are Jessup’s explanation for modern UFOs.
Jessup, as Liszt tells it, is a Navy man at 19, a Carnegie researcher in South America, an astronomer in South Africa, and a digger in the Yucatán tied to Henry Ford’s Fordlandia. The Case for the UFO draws the Office of Naval Research after Carlos Allende, also called Carl Allen, annotates it with what he claims he witnessed at the Philadelphia Experiment. Jessup recognizes the handwriting. He then drives to Yale oceanographer J. Manson Valentine with something he will not say by phone. Hours later he is found dead in a Coral Gables park, a hose from the exhaust through the window, and no autopsy. In 1968 Valentine finds the Bimini Wall where Cayce had said a Poseidian temple would rise.
Liszt sets that death beside the scientists in his recent reports. Major General William McCasland has been missing since 27 February 2026. From the Podesta emails he takes Tom DeLonge’s note that McCasland held the Roswell material at Wright-Patterson, and he says Space Force officials left the general shaken the night before he vanished. MIT’s Nuno Loureiro is shot in Brookline by Claudio Valente. Caltech’s Carl Grillmair is killed in a reported carjacking. NASA engineer Monica Reza disappears on a hike in Angeles National Forest. Liszt ties a heat-proof alloy he calls Mandaloy to Roswell memory metal, and he names the distortion around these cases Apotheum: missing time, and passage through solid objects, the same effects he says appear when a UFO is seen.
Around them he places Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, Stephen Hawking in a submarine called Atlantis, Paulina Zelitsky’s 2001 city off western Cuba, and Thomas Townsend Brown’s Navy dives on that coast. Donald Keyhoe’s Silence Group is, for Liszt, the circle he calls X-Protect. Jessup is the early case of a scientist removed for getting too close.
Pepe Escobar with Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol. Escobar says Iran is like a coiled cobra, ready to strike, and preparing to bypass the dollar.
A participant in Iran's Friday leadership meeting told Ali that if an attack comes from Dubai, Dubai will be finished as a commercial center. They also cover Iran's and Pakistan's central bank heads at the IMF meeting in Bangkok, and a report that Iranian oil may move to China over land.
The host says the Tehran meeting account, the Dubai and Oman lines, and the claim that Israelis have left Riyadh's war room are his own sourcing and cannot be independently verified.

Robert Inlakesh, on The Target, says a report counts at least 135 Iranian strikes on Gulf infrastructure, and that the White House played them down. He also covers a Pentagon threat to use the MOAB, a covert Arab-Israeli alignment, Israeli warnings to Hezbollah, a Yemeni strike on Saudi-backed targets, and Ansarallah gains in Taiz.
Description:
Andrei Martyanov says reports of a strike on Borisoglebsk, pushed by Boris Rozhin and Fighterbomber, are fake. He says the field had no aircraft, eight combat planes had already left, and a photo of a hit Tu-22M3 was already debunked. On the Ryazan refinery he cites the Russian Defense Ministry: four Flamingo cruise missiles and 69 drones were shot down, and a tank fire from falling debris was put out with no damage to the plant.
He says the situation in Kiev is dire, and that Pete Hegseth does not understand this war. He claims Russia makes more than 5.5 million FPV drones a year, while the United States reaches a fleet of 2 million only around 2028. He points to a Pacific training launch from a Yasen-M submarine, Onyx at 170 km and Kalibr at 1,200 km, and says twelve Zircons reached Kiev. He also says the US Treasury has lifted energy sanctions on Russia and that this will not be reported.

Throwback interview from 2019. Joseph Farrell discusses the dark roots of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and the anti-human agenda.
Riyadh called Beijing. Trump called Putin for diesel. Nobody's coming to save Saudi Arabia — except 110 Americans.
("110 Americans in the Saudi war room" is per Transition Protocol's Pakistani military sources.) Here is why nobody is coming, what Beijing will actually do, and what the Russian diesel deal is really for — from a man who has lived in Beijing for almost three decades.
Einar Tangen joins host Zulfiqar Ali from Beijing as Houthi missiles hit Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport again.
Riyadh's calls: according to Transition Protocol's Pakistani military sources, 110 Americans were in the Saudi war room during the bombardment of Ansar Allah positions, even as Trump told Riyadh he wanted no new war. Pakistan will guard the holy sites only.
Beijing's answer: "very little," in Tangen's assessment — China will police dual-use parts flowing to the Houthis, will not arm anyone, and cannot project force from its single base in Djibouti. Reuters reported on 17 September that Saudi Arabia appealed to Beijing and that China privately urged Iran to rein in the Houthis.
Iran's choice: our sources say Tehran told Pakistani mediators it would not restrain the Houthis — it wanted Saudi losses.
The October surprise: why the Russian diesel deal (1.8 million tonnes from October to December) covers only days of US demand, and what Tangen thinks it is really for.
A gateway to a wider war? "Unfortunately, I do." And two ways this ends.
Sourcing note: "110 Americans" and the Iran–Pakistan exchange are the host's own reporting from Pakistani sources. Tangen's remark about discussions of tactical nuclear weapons has not been independently confirmed. On air, a figure of "510 to 525 million tons" of daily US diesel use is a misstatement; the US uses roughly half a million tonnes of distillate a day (EIA).
Larry Johnson on reports that Yemeni forces struck two Aramco headquarters in Saudi Arabia and published footage of a hit on a Saudi Typhoon, described as the second fighter jet after an F-15. He also recounts speaking at a Russian-chaired UN Security Council session in New York on civilian casualties in Ukraine, and says the US tone toward Russia has softened.
Has Iran just leaked US-Israeli war plans, which according to Iranian intel, could be carried at any moment? Fmr CIA analyst Larry Johnson and retired US Army Colonel and Chief of Staff Lawrence Wilkerson react to a bombshell report that details the deep war preparations of Trump and Netanyahu when no one was watching, and give expert insights into the Yemen-Saudi war that cannot be ignored as Middle East oil comes under massive crisis.

Description:
Vijay Prashad, speaking from Beijing, says Yemen’s Ansar Allah now covers the Bab al-Mandab (Arabic for “Gate of Tears”) while the Strait of Hormuz remains restricted — leaving Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arab states, he says, with no easy way out.
Status check: control of Mocha is contested. The Houthis seized the port city in September; Yemen’s government said on 5 October that it had retaken it, which Al Jazeera could not verify, and a Houthi spokesman denied it on 6 October. Prashad calls it “still contested”. Mayyun (Perim) Island is Prashad’s account; we could not confirm a change of control.
Host Zulfiqar Ali speaks with Prashad about what Beijing is seeing: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab, the strikes on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, Iran–Saudi contacts that Beijing’s dialogue made possible, why he says Ansar Allah is “not a proxy of Iran”, and Xi Jinping’s proposed table for Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
What you’ll learn: why Prashad says the Gulf’s two sea exits are both in other hands · what he says Ansar Allah gained at Mocha · why he argues Iran “does not speak for the Yemenis” · what he says the Iran–Saudi channel achieved · why Iran, he says, wants the Mecca pact left alone · why he asks whether Yemen could “collect” at the Bab al-Mandab as Iran does at Hormuz · what he expects from a Xi-hosted Trump–Putin meeting.
Chas Freeman, former US assistant secretary of defense and ambassador to Saudi Arabia, with Glenn Diesen on the quarrel between Trump and Zelensky after a US diesel deal with Russia. Freeman says the Trump administration does not share the Biden line of using Ukraine to pressure Russia, and discusses reports of reduced US intelligence sharing, including a degraded Starlink used to guide Ukrainian drones.
Did Ukraine's partners really go silent before Russia's latest missile strikes on Kiev? Alex breaks down Zelensky's claim that intelligence warnings were withheld, Trump's denial, the new Starlink speed cap, the Russian diesel deal angering Senator Blumenthal, Houthi strikes on Saudi Aramco, Kimberly Guilfoyle's exit as US ambassador to Greece, and the Nord Stream trial opening in Hamburg. Is Washington quietly tightening the screws on Kiev, or is this just good cop, bad cop?

Full lecture from the 2026 Snippy festival.
Dr. Robert M. Schoch is Director of the Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC) at Boston University's College of General Studies, where he has been a faculty member since 1984.
He earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale University in 1983. Schoch maintains that true civilization existed 12,000 years ago and was decimated by the cataclysmic events, initiated by our Sun, that ended the last ice age, circa 9700 BCE.
With John Anthony West, in the early 1990s Schoch uncovered geological evidence (water-weathering and water-erosion features) indicating the origins of the Great Sphinx date back millennia prior to its conventional dating of circa 2500 BCE. Subsequently, excavations of the 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe confirmed Schoch's assertions regarding the extreme antiquity of civilization.

What are cosmobiontes, and why are these mysterious entities being discussed in Mexico?
In this episode of Centinelas with Carlos Clemente, the program looks at the cosmobionte phenomenon: entities that, according to reports and testimony, have been observed in different parts of the country, including Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl, State of Mexico, where recent sightings have been recorded.
Could atmospheric entities formed of plasma exist? Could some luminous structures show behavior we still do not fully understand?
This program explores:
Reports of alleged cosmobiontes in Nezahualcóyotl and other regions of Mexico.
The cosmobionte theory and its proposal of possible atmospheric plasma structures.
Traits attributed to them: changing shapes, apparently autonomous movement, and luminous patterns.
Hypotheses linking these phenomena to plasma physics, Earth's atmosphere, and the search for unconventional forms of life.
What do published studies of this theory show, and what remains unproven?
The cosmobionte theory suggests that certain plasma structures could organize in complex ways and be interpreted as possible inorganic life. This remains a speculative hypothesis; there is no conclusive scientific evidence that cosmobiontes are living organisms.
The program examines the reports, images, and questions around this phenomenon.

Pakistani officers in Saudi Arabia's Riyadh war room say they sit in the same room as CENTCOM and Israeli officers — and that target selection in the war on Yemen is done by CENTCOM and the Israelis. Host Zulfiqar Ali brings their account; Pepe Escobar, from Bangkok after midnight, brings Yemen's next targets and Iran's clock.
Sourcing note: The war-room and MBS reports are our host's own sourcing from Pakistani military personnel and cannot be independently verified. The "Mossad" and "17 people" remarks are Pepe Escobar's information; the host said on air he could not report it.
The Saudi spokesman's Eilat statement is as Escobar describes it; we have not located it. Public record: Riyadh airport was attacked on 6–8 October and operations resumed on 9 October; an Aramco facility south of Riyadh burned on 3 October; Turkey's foreign minister said on 8 October the Mecca pact is "not an offensive agreement"; Pakistan called the New York Times report of PAF strikes "fake and fabricated" on 8 October. An April report said Pakistan had deployed ~10,000 troops to the Yemen border; our host's sources deny it.
Timeline:
00:02:49 The next round: Aramco headquarters and King Khalid Airport, according to Pepe Escobar.
00:28:58 Pakistan's real role: 15 advisers, "not even a team" — per our host's sources.
00:35:39 Same room: what Pakistani personnel in the war room are reporting home.
Dismantling of Europe continues. Grandiose statements from Warsaw. Martyanov says Trump claimed a truce between Russia and Ukraine was coming because he said so, and that Russia then struck a major thermal power station in Ukraine.
Patrick Henningsen and Daniel Davis break down the stunning developments in the Saudi-Yemen war that have the US AND Israel moving toward all out war. Meanwhile, Yemen and Iran have both stepped up their strike targets dramatically as Riyadh burns overnight and a record number of tankers get taken out in the Strait of Hormuz.
What does all of this mean from both a military and geopolitical perspective? We traverse the biggest flashpoints in the ongoing war between US-led unipolarity and the rising multipolar world now finding big momentum in West Asia.
AI does not live in the cloud. It is dug out of the earth, cooled with fresh water, and trained on data labeled by workers half a world away from Silicon Valley.
In this lecture, political theorist Hansong Li walks the entire global supply chain of artificial intelligence — the minerals of the DRC and Chile, the chips of Taiwan, the data centers of the Gulf, and the invisible laborers in Africa and South Asia who sift the world's filth so that others receive clean information. He then lays out the three futures Silicon Valley is actually betting on, and asks the question the industry never answers: whose welfare does AI amplify, and who carries the risk?
His conclusion is a call for planetary justice — and a warning: do not outsource your thinking to automated systems.
Hansong Li is Assistant Professor at the School of International Service, American University, and a faculty associate at Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. He holds a PhD from Harvard and is the author of "Common Justice: Interpolitical Thought in Western, Indian, and Chinese Traditions" (Harvard University Press, forthcoming).

Missile threats are grounding flights and closing skies across the Gulf. What does this mean for the region? After repeated warnings, Yemeni missiles struck Terminal 3 & 4 of the King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, as Sana'a imposes the same reality on Saudi Arabia as it has endured since 2015.
On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh provides a comprehensive breakdown of the latest Middle East developments. As the U.S. intensifies military and economic pressure on Tehran, Iran has carved a new strategy in the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli security officials are preparing for the possibility of Iranian retaliation as they prepare for renewed strikes and deploy additional air defense batteries to the greater Tel Aviv area. Plans to target Iran's critical national and energy infrastructure, following a call between Netanyahu and Trump.
Meanwhile, with Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport closed and the EU and FAA issuing stark airspace warnings, the logistical toll of the conflict in Yemen is mounting. Saudi airspace is effectively shutting down as repeated missile and drone attacks on major airports in Riyadh and Jeddah force massive flight cancellations and trigger severe international aviation warnings.
On the ground, Yemen's armed forces are dealing unprecedented blows to Saudi-backed PLC forces & capturing even more territory.
Andy Burnham claims Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum, years after every investigation found no evidence of meddling. In this episode we break down how Burnham is using the Russia narrative to rebrand Labour as the party that will rejoin the EU, possibly without a referendum, while the AfD and BSW in Saxony Anhalt push Germany to resume buying Russian gas. Is Burnham uniting the remainers, or handing Labour's Brexit heartland seats straight to Reform UK?

Jeffrey Sachs tells Judge Napolitano that Ansarallah has hit Saudi oil fields, the Red Sea, and the airport in Riyadh, and that US weapons have not stopped it. On Trump, he says a November election that costs the president control of Congress would drain his power and shift attention to 2028, without stopping what Sachs calls reckless behavior.
Pepe Escobar breaks down Trump secretly deploying US Navy SEALs to the region as Iran blitzes the Strait of Hormuz and Yemen's fierce resistance to US-Saudi aggression has led to major strikes on Riyadh's airports. Trump is now seriously considering a US intervention into the Yemen front, even as his administration struggles to stop Iran from shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
While they discuss diesel deal, SMO goes on, as does West's collapse. Martyanov says the US lifting of sanctions on Russian diesel, with no Kremlin concessions, is a drop in the bucket that the media turned into a major story, and that the constraint remains two nuclear superpowers.
Andy Burnham now says Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum, a convenient claim for a prime minister whose government is built around reversing Brexit. Alex breaks down why Trump's energy ceasefire is really a lopsided refinery deal, as Russian strikes black out Kiev, the Houthis squeeze MBS from Riyadh to Aden, Iran tightens control of the Strait of Hormuz, and the AfD and BSW demand Germany resume trade with Russia. Is the Russia blame game Europe's last card as its leaders run out of answers?

Nima Alkhorshid asks Larry Wilkerson about reports that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh is closed until October 17 after missile strikes, and that Mohammed bin Salman is moving between bunkers over the risk of attacks on his palaces.
Wilkerson says the Houthis have become a competent military against an unprofessional Saudi force, that the House of Saud faces an existential threat, and that the United States has no coherent policy for the region.
Nima Alkhorshid asks Jacques Baud about a Wall Street Journal report that Saudi Arabia is short of interceptor missiles after daily Yemeni attacks, including cruise missiles that crossed more than 800 kilometers, one of them striking King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Baud says missiles have become the decisive weapon in this war of attrition and that the West has little left to offer after Ukraine and the Middle East.
Stanislav Krapivnik discusses Houthi advances in Yemen, strikes on Saudi airports and oil facilities, and whether the United States could open a new operation there. He questions what Pakistan and Turkey would do, compares the Geran-5 with American cruise missiles, and says a Trump energy deal with Russia will not hold while Europe stays tied to Russian fuel and BRICS has no military bloc.

Tamlyn Hunt, JD, is an attorney and renewable-energy specialist. He is the co-originator of the General Resonance Theory of Consciousness, developed in affiliation with Jonathan Schooler at UC, Santa Barbara. He is author of Eco, Ego, Eros: Essays in Philosophy, Spirituality, and Science; Mind, World, God: Science and Spirit in the 21st Century; Solar: Why Our Energy Future Is So Bright; and, most recently the topic of this discussion, The Hippies were Right: About Consciousness and Everything Else.
Tamlyn discusses the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, co-developed with Jonathan Schooler, which posits that all things resonate, possess a basic awareness (panpsychism), and form higher-level consciousness through shared resonance of electromagnetic fields.
He explores connections to hippie-era insights on vibrations, RNG experiments at Burning Man linked to collective attention, the hard problem of consciousness, electromuticals as non-chemical therapies, comparisons with other theories, and implications for AI.
Drawing on his personal journey from a hippie upbringing through military service and psychedelic experiences, Hunt reflects on what the hippies got right and wrong, advocating love-based activism for today's challenges.

Trump just said it out loud: Ukraine needs a new leader. Alex breaks down how Zelensky calling Trump weak over the Putin diesel deal backfired, why Elon Musk is piling on, and how the EU is answering with new Russia sanctions and Financial Times claims that Putin is targeting European defense CEOs, a storyline that echoes what Alexander Mercouris has long said about Project Ukraine. Is Zelensky about to be recast, and can Trump finally find his way out?

UAP Files looks at infrared footage shot in Long Beach, California, on 21 October 2017. The witness, Jim Films UFOs, says a large bright object released at least 40 smaller orbs, first in a triangle and then in a stream, and that the smaller orbs showed up only on his full-spectrum camera. The host adjusts contrast and color and does not upscale the clip.
He compares it with footage from Elliot Howie in Christchurch, a donut-shaped object that appeared to drop a smaller shape, and with images from Ray Hermans in New Zealand of egg-shaped objects flying together.
Russia is selling the U.S. 300,000 tons of diesel fuel after a sanctions waiver to lift Trump's November electoral chances, infuriating Zelensky as Kiev suffers its most intense pounding. Trump says he won't hit Iran until after the election. And in the U.S. an execution victim awakes from a coma, while the government is planning to live-stream an execution by firing squad.
SpaceWeatherNews on a G3 solar storm and another pole-shift signal. In the last 24 hours the sun was moderately active, with flares that were less eruptive toward Earth and CMEs leaving the departing limb.
A coronal hole crossed central heliographic longitudes, a new sunspot group marched in, and large plasma filaments stayed on the disk. The expected CME shock arrived as a full draping impact. Solar wind speed was over 800 km/s with above-average density, G3 conditions lasted about six hours on October 10, and the field was calming on the morning of October 11. The official forecast had been G2, Kp 6. The show says forecasters are now underestimating storm strength because Earth's magnetic field is weakening in an ongoing pole shift.
The science notes cover an AI-assisted nova classification, after 14 new nova types in 20 years, and gamma-phase iron that a Chinese moon lander found inside glass microtektites. The show treats a solar micronova as another explanation, because that iron is not found all over the Moon.
The neocon project is crashing into the wall, and Garland Nixon joins Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou to explain why the collective West has hit the limits of its power. From Russia's air campaign over Kiev and the standoff with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz to the Houthis, Saudi Arabia, German elections and the US midterms, they trace how elites who can no longer win and refuse to negotiate are losing the trust of their own people. Will the breaking point come abroad, or at home first?

Michael Cremo is coauthor with Richard Thompson of Forbidden Archeology. He is also author of Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory as well as My Science, My Religion – a collection of his scientific papers.
In this 2021 rebooted video he describes the Vedic worldview as one in which consciousness, rather than matter, is considered fundamental. The Vedic universe is populated by a vast array of entities including both extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional.
There are deities and demonic entities covering a wide range of technological and spiritual attainments. Flying vehicles are frequently described. Some are described in mechanical terms others are completely mental, or spiritual, in nature. Cremo points out that there are many similarities between modern UFO reports and ancient Vedic accounts.
