Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear Optimistic He Will Get to Appoint Replacement to McConnell

July 14, 2026 | Sundance |

The professionally Republican have been pretending to have 20-minute discussions with Senator Mitch McConnellin an effort to keep the Democrat governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, from appointing a replacement.

Beshear has now openly began to challenge the assertions of the professionally Republican team and demand proof of life and capability or he will replace McConnell.

WASHINGTON DC – Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he is willing to launch a legal challenge to allow him to choose Mitch McConnell’s replacement if the senator cannot return to office.

Beshear, a Democrat, told MS NOW’s Politics Nation host Rev. Al Sharpton on Sunday that he “might make some news right here” while revealing the potential options he has as governor to replace the 84-year-old, whose health has been the subject of intense speculation for weeks.

[…] there is a Kentucky constitutional provision that says that I appoint all state officers when there’s a vacancy,” he added.“The question is, does that apply to federal offices?Well, before there was ever a law in Kentucky on how this would work, multiple appointments were made by governors, assumably under that provision.” (read more)

‘These Are Not Aliens’: L.A. Marzulli’s Shocking Warning About UFO Disclosure

Jul 14, 2026

L.A. Marzulli is sounding the alarm over what could become one of the greatest spiritual deceptions of the last days.

During a recent appearance on Daystar, Marzulli discussed UFO disclosure, the Nephilim, fallen angels and what he calls an ongoing “seed war” stretching from Genesis to the present day.

“The whole thing is a seed war, which is still going on today,” Marzulli said.

His argument centers on Genesis 6, where the “sons of God” took human women as wives and produced the Nephilim.

Marzulli shares how these beings were the offspring of fallen angels and human women, and that their existence helps explain some of the darkest and most difficult passages in the Old Testament.

“The Nephilim [are] the offspring of fallen angels [and] human women,” he said.

Marzulli also connected the biblical flood to the corruption of humanity, arguing that Noah’s family was preserved because his bloodline had not been altered.

“It says in the Scripture that Noah was pure in all his generations,” he said. “It doesn’t mean he was sinless, but there’s no corruption of his DNA.”

He further suggested that the spirits of the Nephilim continued after the flood.

“The disembodied spirits of the Nephilim become the demons that wander the earth,” Marzulli said. “They’re not fallen angels. Demons and fallen angels [are] two completely different things.”

Marzulli also insisted that Christians should not dismiss the rapidly growing conversation surrounding UFOs and alleged nonhuman intelligence.

He pointed to military testimony, congressional hearings and government disclosures as evidence that the subject has moved far beyond fringe speculation.

“What does the church do with that?” he asked. “What do you [who are] watching do with that? Because that information is groundbreaking.”

Marzulli believes the phenomenon is not extraterrestrial at all. Instead, he sees it as part of a Luciferian deception designed to reshape humanity’s understanding of creation, God and salvation.

“These are not space aliens,” he said. “These are fallen angels.”

According to Marzulli, the final stage of this deception could come during a moment of worldwide fear and instability.

He believes these entities may present themselves as humanity’s creators, claiming they engineered human life, started the world’s religions and have now returned to lead civilization into a new age.

“They will say that they created all life on this planet,” he warned. “They genetically manipulated early man. They started the world’s religions [and] world civilizations. Now they’re back at this critical juncture to usher mankind into a golden age.”

Marzulli believes such a claim could become the catalyst for a one-world political and religious system.

“This is how you get a one-world government and a one-world religious system,” he said. “It is the great deception. Absolutely.”

Yet his message was not one of panic.

“Greater is He that is in me,” Marzulli said, emphasizing that Christians must walk in discernment rather than fear.

His final warning to the church was clear: believers must understand the times, know the enemy’s strategies and remain firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.

“We know our enemy,” he said. “We should know exactly what he’s up to.”

In an age of increasing deception, followers of Jesus cannot afford to be captivated by spectacular claims without first testing them against Scripture.

As Jesus Himself warned, the last days will be marked by powerful signs capable of deceiving many. More than ever, the church must remain anchored in biblical truth, discerning the times while fixing its eyes on the One who has already secured the ultimate victory.

The newspaper that broke the Roswell UFO story is shutting down

July 13, 2026

Southern New Mexico’s news desert is becoming bigger.

The 123-year-old Roswell Daily Record, owned by Publisher Barbara Beck and General Manager SaraLei Fajardo, announced today that it is ceasing operations and beginning “an orderly liquidation” of its assets to pay its bills and other obligations, according to a statement from the newspaper.

Ownership said it is pursuing a sale or another sustainable arrangement that could keep the Record operating, but offered no guarantees.

The newspaper traces its roots to a semiweekly founded in 1891 and began publishing daily in 1903, according to the Library of Congress.

It became nationally known for its July 1947 front page reporting the alleged recovery of a “flying saucer” near Roswell, a story that helped make the city a UFO tourism destination.

The newspaper said its circulation is fewer than 12,000. It cut to three print editions a week in November 2024 and, in October 2025, ended in-house printing, shifting production to The Santa Fe New Mexican, according to the Record’s own reporting.

The Paper. reached out to the Roswell Daily Record for comment but had not received a response as of press time. They have not announced a timeline for a possible sale.

Reviving-like prosocial behavior in response to unconscious or dead conspecifics in rodents

Editor’s summary

In emergency situations, humans often exhibit instinctual “first aid” behaviors toward others. Whether and how other species show prosocial behaviors toward others is unclear. In two independent studies, W. Sun et al. and F. Sun et al. showed thatmice exhibit stereotyped behaviors toward unconscious conspecifics, escalating from sniffing and grooming to licking of the head and tongue pulling, which accelerated recovery from unconsciousness(see the Perspective by Sheeran and Donaldson). The activation of neurons in the medial amygdala and oxytocin-expressing neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus was required to trigger these behaviors. The results elucidate different aspects of a previously unrecognized prosocial behavior in mice and its underlying neurobiological mechanisms. —Mattia Maroso

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq2679

A neural basis for prosocial behavior toward unresponsive individuals

CONCLUSION

Our findings reveal thatmice exhibit rescue-like behaviors toward unresponsive conspecifics, characterized by intense physical contact directed at the recipient’s head region. This response accelerates recovery from unresponsiveness, potentially reducing risks to unresponsive individuals and enhancing their survival.We have also uncovered that the MeA encodes the unresponsive state of others and drives head-directed grooming toward them. Notably, the behavioral response toward unresponsive conspecifics differs from that toward awake, stressed individuals, and these responses are differentially represented in the MeA. These findings shed light on the neural mechanisms underlying prosocial responses toward unresponsive individuals, broadening our understanding of animals’ ability to detect and behaviorally react to different adverse conditions of others.

Cardinal insists DC exorcist removed for public ministry, not UFO-demon claims

Monday, July 13, 2026

Cardinal Robert W. McElroy explained in a recent interview that he removed a prominent exorcist from his archdiocese because his ministry had become too public, and not because of the exorcist's opinion that UFO phenomena are often demonic.

McElroy, who has served as archbishop of Washington since 2025, told Catholic News Service (CNS) in an interview published last week that his removal of Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti on June 3 was not an attempt to comment on the nature of UFOs and so-called extraterrestrials. Rossetti is a psychologist, author and priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, New York, who had served as an exorcist in the Washington archdiocese for 19 years.

"It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs," McElroy said of Rossetti's removal. "My major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one. It's a sacred one."

Rossetti went viral on social media last month when he claimed that "probably many, if not most, UFO sightings are in fact demons," noting that evil spirits often deceitfully present themselves as extraterrestrials to lead humans astray.

Clarifying that his remarks were "not de fide," but his "personal belief," he also exhorted his listeners to avoid unhealthy interest in such topics by keeping their focus on Jesus Christ.

McElroy, who has faced scrutiny and criticism for his views on Catholic social teachings and handling of clerical sex abuse cases, removed Rossetti for "linking UFOs to demonic presence," according to a June 3 statement from the archdiocese.

The statement also said that Rossetti's remarks and the social media use of his organization, the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal, "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism."

Rossetti's organization, which offers help to those suffering spiritual affliction, has more than 146,000 followers on YouTube.

When Rossetti was removed, he expressed sadness at the archbishop's decision, but submitted to his clerical authority.

"I ask forgiveness for any ways that I have not been faithful to the teachings of the Church's Magisterium, particularly in the cited video on 'aliens and the demonic,'" he said.

"I believe it is of the utmost importance to be obedient to the Church and I will continue to endeavor to subject all that I do and the Center to be thus obedient."

The move prompted backlash among many Catholics on social media, and the archdiocese ultimately deleted the announcement from X. Father Dan Reehil, an exorcist with the Diocese of Nashville, also questioned Rossetti's removal last month.

"That, to me, is very bizarre, because who's to say that couldn't happen?" Reehil said of Rossetti's assessment about UFOs. "You know, does that contradict our faith? Absolutely not. Demons have appeared in many ways, shapes and forms for millennia."

"So, I find it an odd reason to can somebody, given that [Rossetti] is a very outstanding theologian.

He's a wonderful person, he's an amazing priest. He's an excellent exorcist, and he's been serving God in his church for decades," he added.

Speaking with CNS, McElroy said he believes the role of an exorcist shouldn't be as public as Rossetti had become.

"I think the more traditional approach of an exorcist is a private, within-the-life-of-the-Church ministry to help individuals who are in crisis and seem to be demonically possessed," he said. "It shouldn't go beyond that for people who are doing exorcism."

Rossetti's views about the occult nature of UFOs and alleged aliens have been echoed by other Catholic clergy, including Father Chad Ripperger, who serves as an exorcist in the Archdiocese of Denver and has done several high-profile interviews on the topic in recent months.

Ripperger told podcaster Shawn Ryan earlier this year that supposed alien encounters often resemble traditional demonic possession, and that the entities often attempt to undermine the idea of salvation through Jesus Christ, despite apparently being bound by His authority.

He cited accounts of unpleasant abduction scenarios that abruptly cease when the individual cries out to Jesus.

Vice President JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, also said of extraterrestrials earlier this year: "I don't think they're aliens. I think they're demons anyway."

Europe’s position on Ukraine is a ‘dead end’ – Kremlin

A resolution of the conflict without Russia is impossible, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Published 14 Jul, 2026 18:08

Europe cannot play a meaningful role in resolving the Ukraine conflict while trying to exclude Russia from the process, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, calling the bloc’s position a “dead end.”

Peskov was responding to remarks by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who argued that any future “security guarantees”for Kiev should bedetermined by Ukraine and its Western backers without Russia’s participation.

“Such statements demonstrate that the position taken by the Europeans is a dead end.If they insist on it, they will have no role in the settlement process,” Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.

Merz made the comments at a ‘Coalition of the Willing’ summit in Paris on Monday, where he pledged that Germany and Ukraine’s otherWestern supporters would continue supplying military aid to Kiev after any future ceasefire.

The group brings together several EU nations, as well as the UK, Norway, Iceland, and Türkiye. It has been discussing post-conflict security arrangements for Ukraine,including proposals to deploy a multinational force, despite Russia’s repeated rejection of foreign troops near its borders.

At last week’s NATO summit in Ankara, member states agreed to provide Ukraine with more than €70 billion ($80 billion) in military assistance this year and next. Germany pledged the largest national contribution.

Germany has been the EU’s biggest supporter of Ukraine since the escalation of the conflict in February 2022, providing around €55.5 billion in military aid, according to government data. German media have also reported that Berlin will finance the purchase of 50,000 attack drones for the Ukrainian military.

The latest pledges come as Ukraine has intensified drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure and residential areas in recent months amid continued setbacks on the battlefield, launching several hundred UAVs a day on average. Moscow has also reported a growing number of FPV drone attacks,including AI-guided models, targeting passenger buses and private vehicles.

The Kremlin has repeatedly saidthat any lasting peace settlement must address the root causes of the conflict, including Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarization,protection of Russian speakers, and recognition of the territorial realities on the ground.

Russian officials have also argued that Britain, France, and Germany undermined previous peace efforts, including the 2014-2015 Minsk agreements and the 2022 Istanbul draft deal.Moscow has warned that any deployment of Western troops to Ukraine would be treated as foreign intervention.

We Can't Control This: The Populist Tide Is Coming For Both Parties

by Tyler Durden

Monday, Jul 13, 2026 - 09:35 PM

Authored by Charles Bass and Richard Swett via RealClearPolitics.com,

Who was David Brat?

Many Americans have forgotten the name. We haven’t.

In 2014, David Brat, then a little-known economics professor, stunned the political world by defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a Republican primary in Virginia. At the time, most observers viewed the upset as an isolated event - a local revolt against an established leader who had lost touch with his district. In retrospect, it was something much larger. David Brat’s victory was an early warning shot. It signaled that a powerful populist movement was building within the Republican Party, one fueled by frustration, distrust of institutions, anger toward political elites, and a conviction among many voters that neither party was listening to them. Two years later, that same current helped propel Donald Trump to the presidency and fundamentally reshape the Republican Party.

As we watched with dismay the results of the New York Democratic congressional primaries, the memory of David Brat came floating back.

What happened in New York may prove to be a similar moment for Democrats. For years, political analysts have treated populism as primarily a Republican phenomenon. That was always a mistake. Populism is not an ideology. It is a political force. It can emerge from the left or the right. It thrives whenever large numbers of citizens conclude that the people running the country’s major institutions no longer understand or care about their concerns.

Today, both parties are confronting their own versions of that phenomenon.

The populism that has transformed the Republican Party often channels its frustrations toward immigration, globalization, cultural change, and government dependency. The populism now emerging within parts of the Democratic coalition directs its anger toward concentrated wealth, large corporations, and what it sees as entrenched political and economic power. The targets differ. The emotions do not. At its core, populism reflects a broad loss of confidence in elites – political, economic, academic, media, and corporate. Millions of Americans increasingly believe that the institutions that once commanded public trust are no longer delivering results, no longer accountable, and no longer responsive.

That sentiment has been building for years. The financial crisis damaged confidence in Wall Street. Endless political gridlock damaged confidence in Washington. Social media accelerated distrust of traditional news organizations. Rising housing costs, student debt, stagnant wages, and growing economic inequality left many younger Americans questioning whether the system works for them at all. When confidence in institutions erodes, voters look elsewhere.

They become more willing to embrace candidates who promise disruption rather than stability, confrontation rather than compromise, and sweeping change rather than incremental reform.

As former members of Congress who represented New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District from opposite political parties, we find this trend deeply troubling. American democracy has historically depended on a broad center. Progress came not because one side achieved total victory, but because competing interests eventually found common ground. The system was designed to reward coalition-building and compromise. Today, compromise is increasingly viewed as weakness.

Moderation is often treated as betrayal. Political incentives now favor outrage over persuasion and ideological purity over practical governance. That dynamic is affecting both parties.

The Republican Party has already experienced a dramatic populist transformation.

The Democratic Party may now be entering a similar period of internal upheaval.

Whether that process ultimately reshapes Democratic politics as profoundly as Trump’s movement reshaped the GOP remains to be seen. But the signs are increasingly difficult to ignore.

What concerns us most is that the underlying forces driving these movements are not going away. Neither party has yet found a convincing answer to the frustrations that fuel populism. Economic insecurity remains widespread. Institutional trust remains low. Political polarization continues to deepen. Younger voters are increasingly skeptical of traditional leadership. Social media amplifies anger faster than solutions. These are not temporary conditions. They are structural challenges.

Ask a Pol asks:

Have you looked at any of the newly declassified UFO files videos the Pentagon’s been disclosing this summer?

Key Kelly:

“I had my staff print out all the UFO files,” Sen. Mark Kelly exclusively told Ask a Pol UAP. “We have them in binders, so people can look through them. There’s some interesting stuff in there: Drawings of aliens.”

Laslo laughs.

Is there anything that’s moving your staff or you?

“On this?” Kelly said. “No.”

Caught our ear:

“It’d be good if we had more information,” Kelly told us.

Do Laser Produced Plasmas Explain Some of the UAP Orbs?

July 14, 2026

Today, I received an interesting message in response to my previous essay (posted here) on ball lightning being a real phenomenon that can be explained by oxidation of aerosol clouds composed of silicon-based nanoparticles during stormy weather. The email read:

“Dear Professor Loeb:

Congratulations and wishing you the best scientific results as you lead the UAP Science Advisory Council.

With the team you have assembled, I’m confident that the scientific method will prevail over anecdotal evidence, personal beliefs, opinions, intuition, and non-quantifiable methods. You are our best hope for a factual understanding of the UFO/UAP phenomenon.

I very much enjoy your series of posts on Medium.com. Your latest comments on the nature of ball lighting and an association with some UAPs were refreshing and enlightening.

With your experience in the Strategic Defense Initiative, I’m sure you will consider the possibility of some UAP orbs being plasmoids, either naturally or artificially produced.

In fact, the U.S. military has researched and even patented much laser/plasma research to include a system of laser-induced plasma to act as deterrent targets for enemy missiles.

Continued compartmented research by the US military (mainly USN) and its defense contractors (Boeing) most probably continue as I type.

In addition, both adversarial and friendly nations may also be working on laser/plasmoid technology for both defense and offense.

Are some of the early orb sightings (most famously the tic-tac ones) a result of classified or adversarial testing? The tic-tac sightings were during a training exercise.

One patent # is US20200041236A1

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200041236A1/

Have a great day!

Bob R”

Indeed, my MSc thesis in 1985 was titled: “Analytical Models for the Evolution of Strong Shock Waves Generated by High Irradiance Lasers in Solids and Fast Spark Discharges in Gases”.

As a result, I am very familiar with the physics of laser produced plasmas. Today, related devices are being employed by the military.

Over the past decade, the Laser-Induced Plasma Effect (LIPE) program, run by the Pentagon’s Joint Non-lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD), uses short pulses from high-energy lasers to strip electrons off the atoms or molecules in air and create plasma balls (as reported here, here, here and here).

The system uses a highly synchronized, two-step laser system to generate the plasma balls. The first step employs a femtosecond laser which shoots a brief burst of light that lasts 10^{-15} seconds and creates a localized ball of plasma at a targeted point in space.

The second step uses another laser which strikes the newly formed plasma ball and rapidly heats it. By manipulating the second interaction, it is possible to force the plasma to vibrate and generate prescribed sound waves.

Why your flights are getting bumpier: Experts reveal the surprising reason severe turbulence has soared by 55 per cent

03:33 EDT 14 Jul 20261/2

It's dreaded by even the most frequent flyers: the seat belt sign constantly dinging, belongings sliding across the cabin floor and seats shuddering through rough air.

And if you've noticed flights getting bumpier over the past few years, the data suggests you're right.

New research by the University of Reading has found that instability-generating wind shear in the jet stream has soared by 15 per cent since 1979.

Similarly, severe clear-air turbulence (CAT) on busy flight routes has also risen by 55 per cent.

In fact, Delta Air Lines is being taken to court by a group of passengers after a severe turbulence incident on July 30, 2025 left 25 people injured.

Meanwhile, on an easyJet flight earlier this year, the pilot was forced to declare an emergency and return the aircraft to the UK after facing a bout of serious turbulence.

In another incident, ten people were injured on a Cathay Pacific flight from Brisbane to Hong Kong in May after turbulence hurtled passengers and cabin crew into the ceiling of the plane.

But what is causing this rapid rise in rough and choppy journeys?

Pilot reveals what turbulence looks like from the cockpit

Former airline captain Emma Hendersontells the Daily Mail: 'Whether we like it or not, the main reason is climate change.'

She explains how, as the atmosphere warms, jet streams can be strengthened in some regions due to differences in temperature between air masses.

'Stronger wind shear within and around the jet stream creates more clear-air turbulence, which is particularly challenging because it cannot be seen on weather radar,' the pilot, who is now a professional public speaker, explains.

Clear-air turbulence (CAT) is increasing 'most noticeably' at cruising altitude, but, she notes, 'not all turbulence is increasing'.

'We have also seen an increase in thunderstorm activity in the UK recently and that brings with it a risk of more turbulence too,' Ms Henderson adds.

Turbulence could 'potentially' become more common in the future as global warming continues.

'Climate models suggest that if global temperatures continue to rise, clear-air turbulence could become more frequent and more intense on some major flight routes, particularly across the North Atlantic and North America,' the captain explains.

But it doesn't mean you will have to prepare for a bumpy flight every time you jet off on holiday – the aviation industry is adapting.

The worst regions for turbulence, according to a former airline captain…

The North Atlantic jet stream, particularly in winter

The Rocky Mountains, where mountain waves can be significant

The Andes

The Himalayas

Japan and East Asia during strong jet stream activity

Equatorial regions where powerful thunderstorms develop

Parts of central Africa during the rainy season

From improved turbulence forecasting to electronic flight bags that display live turbulence information for pilots, there are many ways airlines are utilising technology to help make journeys smoother.

Ms Henderson, who has decades of flying experience under her belt, explains: 'Pilots today have much more information than we did even 15 years ago.'

Even simple changes like 'more proactive seat belt policies' and ensuring cabin crew are 'often being seated earlier when turbulence is expected' help to make flights smoother and safer.

How the pilot actually flies the plane can also affect how much impact the aircraft might experience.

Things like changing the altitude or even slightly altering the route can create a more pleasant journey.

'Sometimes climbing or descending just 2,000 feet finds much smoother air,' Ms Henderson says.

The former captain explains how pilots can also 'reduce speed to the aircraft’s turbulence penetration speed, which reduces structural loads and often makes the ride feel less abrupt.'

When it is possible to do so, simply flying around the turbulence is another solution.

Thunderstorms are normally avoided completely because they contain severe turbulence, hail, lightning and strong vertical air currents,' Ms Henderson says. 'Pilots will happily deviate many miles around them.'

CAT, however, is more difficult to avoid 'because you can't see it'.

There are several regions that can be particularly bad for turbulence, including the North Atlantic jet stream, the Himalayas and the Andes, according to Ms Henderson.

She says passengers shouldn't be concerned about the rise in turbulence, but warns people to be 'respectful'.

'The biggest risk from turbulence isn’t the aircraft. It’s people inside the cabin who aren’t restrained,' Ms Henderson emphasises.

She adds: 'Almost all serious turbulence injuries involve passengers or crew being thrown against the cabin because they weren’t strapped in.'

Modern planes are equipped to deal with stronger forces than typical turbulence, and pilots are as keen as passengers to avoid a bumpy ride.

Overall, the pilot insists that turbulence is simply 'uncomfortable' rather than 'unsafe'.

How can passengers reduce the effects they may feel from turbulence?

Henderson says:

Keep your seat belt loosely fastened whenever you’re seated, even if the sign is off

Choose a seat over or just ahead of the wings if you’re particularly nervous, as this is usually the smoothest part of the aircraft

Avoid excessive alcohol if you’re prone to motion sickness

Stay hydrated

Look outside rather than focusing on objects moving around inside the cabin

Remember that turbulence feels dramatic because you’re inside a large, enclosed space, but aircraft are designed to flex. That movement is a sign they’re doing exactly what they’re designed to do

Listen to the cabin crew. They are responding to information from the flight deck, not simply reacting to how the cabin feels.

Yesterday in Biddeford, Maine, a SMALL GROUP OF PATRIOTS stood LOUD & PROUD against HUNDREDS of screaming protesters. 🇺🇸💪

You’d think the biggest topic of the day would’ve been… you know… THE GUY WHO GOT SHOT. 🤷‍♂️

NOPE. 😂😂

Apparently MY PENIS was breaking news. 🍆🤣

I don’t know whether to be flattered or send out autographed pictures. 💀💀 Y’all talked about it more than the actual reason everyone was there! That’s some next-level obsession. 😭🤣

Meanwhile, I was ASSAULTED MULTIPLE TIMES while doing what I always do—LIVESTREAMING. 🎥 One person even grabbed me by the throat… and it’s all on video.

We the people with common sense support the men and women of ICE.

🎬 Grab some 🍿, watch the videos, and enjoy the show… because apparently I was the main event. 😂

🚨 4CHAN ALREADY PREDICTED IN 2025: A FAKE ALIEN INVASION WILL BEGIN ON JULY 16

On July 16, 2026, MJ12 will launch a fake alien invasion. 60% of humanity will die

They allegedly plan to use biological androids (PLFs), human-made UFOs (ARVs), and Project Blue Beam to create the illusion of a massive alien invasion. The invasion will supposedly last until September 2027.

Then the UN will announce a one-world government "against a common enemy" and introduce the "real" alien saviors.

All because of a secret deal made after Roswell - technology in exchange for humans for a hybridization program.

And here's what is truly unsettling…

On July 16, Trump will address the nation.

Anna Paulina Luna recently said that he will make a major announcement specifically related to the UFO topic.

I've long since stopped believing in predictions like this…

But this coincidence is too strange to simply ignore.

What if it really begins on July 16? 👀

Are you ready for "Independence Day" in real life?
