  • BREAKING: Brazil’s Defense Minister Says They’ve Had Alien Contact [Exclusive Interview]

Cowboy Colostrum: Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code JESSE at https://cowboycolostrum.com/jesse Brazil's former Defense Minister and current presidential candidate Aldo Rebelo confirms the country has had contact with non-human intelligence dating back to at least the 70’s. He says that in 1977, in Colares, UFOs were injuring civilians in the Amazon with burns, puncture wounds and blood loss serious enough to trigger a classified military investigation. In 1986, six fighter jets were scrambled against 21 unidentified craft detected by radar – the objects were flying at Mach 20+ and making right angle turns, maneuvers well beyond the capabilities of the most advanced craft today. He also confirms that the 1996 Varginha UFO crash occurred, that non-human beings were encountered, and says he fully believes the neurosurgeon who came face to face with one of them in a hospital bed. He also confirms the American military would have had an immediate strategic interest in the case. Rebelo says there is more classified information about these cases and others, and that they should be released alongside America's. Rebelo’s confirmation of the events at Varginha is the equivalent of former Defense Ministers in the United States like Robert Baker or Jim Mattis saying Roswell happened; its world history that can’t be walked back. And it ends decades of condescension and gaslighting from top ranking officials on this topic. -------------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!

He was in the room when David Grush first whispered his ICIG complaint to George Knapp at a bar in Huntsville, Alabama, and he is one of the journalists the CIA was specifically targeting. Here is what that operation looked like: ODNI's Director's Initiative Group presented itself as a protected channel for whistleblowers. Corbell and Knapp fed it sources in good faith over nine months. Every person they brought in had their phones, computers, and communications surveilled by CIA. ODNI then fabricated a claim that Dylan Borland had drawn a classified sensor system in his testimony, a lie designed to expose him to a treason charge carrying the death penalty. When confronted, ODNI backed down. A CIA agent who ran the DIG came before Congress days before this recording and admitted the surveillance. The CIA's response was that he was not authorized to speak. That is not a denial. -------------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!

  • MIT Scientist: “Your Brain Evolved To Ignore Aliens – They’re Everywhere!”

All for just $199. Donald Hoffman spent 40 years building a mathematical framework he calls the recursive trace logic. It starts with one assumption: consciousness is fundamental, not physics. From there the math takes over. He can already derive time dilation, length contraction, and quantum wave functions from these hidden markov matrices. He has nine open conjectures that, if proven, would subsume both general relativity and quantum field theory as trivial special cases of a more general theory of observation. John Wheeler cited his 1989 book on observer mechanics in the It From Bit paper. Nima Arkani-Hamed and Nobel laureate David Gross are arriving at the same conclusion from the physics side: spacetime is doomed. -------------------------- Support Our Other Projects Below!
