The rains are coming down over the park. I’m sitting in a coffee shop on Brookhurst Avenue in Huntington Beach. There is a 90% chance rain event today as the news feed (on X) is pouring down Epstein Files related atrocities. Today, the authorities in Britain cuffed (former Prince) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Sandringham on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The chickens have come home to roost, as it were.

The fallout from said file dump is impressive to witness, considering how jaded we have become to the rusted and broke down creaking wheels of justice. Something is afoot. Something is in the air. And things are moving so fast it’s hard to take it all in. Part of it seems unreal, like we’re watching a movie. Perhaps we think the movie will soon end and we all get to leave this theater of the absurd. Ah, but here is the plot twist, we as a society are the film.

It is a strange time to be alive. It is an interesting time to be alive and that is an ominous omen of things to come, according to Chinese philosophy. And in deference to the Chinese New Year, we are going with that.

Later in the evening, as I was trundling off to sleep with my hot toddy, I was rudely slapped awake by an X post from the POTUS himself. Here it is in all its glory:

“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

What prompted such a bold and frankly, reckless declaration from our President?

Perhaps it had something to do with what a former President said. Earlier in the week, on the Brian Tyler Cohen podcast, President Obama was asked, “Are aliens real?” Obama answered, “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them and they’re not being kept in Area 51.”

Today, during a Q & A on Air Force One, Trump was asked about Obama’s comments on the podcast. Trump answered, “Well he gave classified information, he’s not supposed to be doing that.”

“So aliens are real?,” asked the journalist.

“Well I don’t know if they’re real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information. No I don’t have an opinion on it I never talk about it.”

After that exchange, the President took to social media and posted his plans to release all the UFO files. Some pundits in the media are suggesting that this UFO talk is a distraction away from the Epstein Files. Others are saying the Epstein Files are prompting disclosure. So what does the Epstein Files have to do with UFOs?

There are certain indications that Jefferey Epstein was into paranormal related matter, ie. UFOs, telepathy, out-of-body experience, etc. There are other indications that he was in a way against these things, and perhaps actively trying to hinder the progress and advancement of said subject matter in the public arena.

The reason why this matters is that Epstein walked the halls of power. He had his hands on the levers of society, and was willing to pull them as needed. If he had a motive behind UFO disclosure, whether against it or not, then it would have bearing on those actively engaged in disclosure. Consider this item from Epstein File # EFTA00777535.

In this document, an email from Jeffrey Epstein to Al Seckel, dated 01 November 2010, Epstein is revising research proposal solicitations, for which he will be providing financial backing. It states, “specific attention will be given to robust original research proposals in the following areas.” Underneath subject headings which include Computers, Astrobiology, Artificial Intelligence and Molecular Biology, he gives specifics. For instance, under Computers, he has the subject line “Membrane computing as it applies to new computational models based on cellular membranes or other biological systems.”

In the middle of the email is written: “Please note that submissions about extraterrestrial UFOs, aliens, encounters, alien pregnancies, crop circles, and other such nonsense, will not be entertained.”

That seems to be a clear cut indication of Epstein’s dismissive stance on the UFO field altogether.

Or maybe not. Perhaps that particular memo was for those not fully cued in on said subject matter. A form of layering. Or maybe a form of subterfuge, where he is hiding his ulterior intentions. Or even, an instance of classic debunking. With that being said, consider the following item posted by Open Minded Approach on X, who writes:

“Here’s how the twisted elite controls the narrative: this is an email in which Epstein demands that Lawrence Krauss write an article on how to debunk out-of-body experiences and alien abductions, while in countless other emails he brags about achieving out-of-body experiences himself and coming up with new ideas. The mainstream must think this is all nonsense, while they exploit it for their own evil purposes.”

The post attaches the email in question. In it, Jeffrey Epstein asks Lawrence Krauss, “lawrence can you pen an article on how to debunk claims … alien abductions … many people share similar stories. ghosts … I’d like to include some of the criticisms that have been brought … just give it to me. it will not have your name attached at all.”

With that being said, there is ample evidence that Epstein was actively researching the topic of UFOs and related paranormal matters. His emails reveal that he was in contact with many leading figures in the field of parapsychology, such as Dean Radin. Radin was looking for scientific proof of psychic abilities and magic, like spoon bending. There is also a connection to the Zodiac group, involved in reverse engineering of extraterrestrial craft.

Let’s not forget as well that Epstein was in contact with transhumanists and AI scientists like Peter Theil and New Age gurus like Deepak Chopra. As well, Epstein had a deep interest in the deep underwater mysteries of Atlantis (let’s open that can of worms another day).

Conspiracy theorists are breaking into various camps on this issue. Some assert that Epstein is part of a ruling elite using black magic and mind control to enslave the world. Conversely, there are those who believe that the saga of Donald Trump is his battle against the deep state (Epstein & Co.) for secret extraterrestrial / Tesla technology like free energy, anti-gravity and time travel.
