'Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading the newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.'

A truck driver is near the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. He notices a bipedal creature walk out of the woods and toward the road. The size suggests it was a Skunk Ape.I received the following account:“Back in the day‚ when I was younger man‚ I was driving a truck down in Georgia and I picked up a load of mulch. I'm going down this two-lane road and I don't remember the exact area. I remember looking at my atlas as I was driving‚ it was above Jacksonville‚ Florida but on the Georgia side and there was some kind of a National Park there‚ with an Indian name (Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge). But as I was driving‚ I saw what looked like‚ what I thought was‚ a bear or something getting ready to cross the road. I'd never seen anything like that because I'm from Ohio. I'd been staring at the ditch line because I was looking at‚ like‚ a planted forest. I'd never seen‚ you know‚ planted forests before. It was all pine trees‚ symmetrically lined up and everything.So I see this bear start to come out across the ditch and cross the road. So I started covering my brake. I'm like‚ 'Oh my god‚ I'm gonna hit a bear!' And it turned and looked at me. Its face was flat and it didn't have the big nose like like a bear does and I'm like‚ 'Whoa‚ what the heck is that?' It didn't look big and heavy like everybody describes it. It hunched over just like a Bigfoot but it looked smaller‚ like it had really long hair but not as bulky. The thing that ties into this dimensional thing for me is that I had this thought before I ever heard anybody talking about it. It looked at me in the truck and then it turned its head and like a streak of lightning‚ it went back into the woods from where it came. All the trunks on the trees‚ they didn't really have branches on the low levels‚ and so I'm looking at it‚ trying to look at it running through the woods‚ you know‚ to make sure I've seen what I saw and it just vanished. It just vanished! These trees weren't full-grown. They were maybe six to eight inches in trunk diameter and everything was in a perfect line. There's absolutely no way it could have hidden behind a tree. It just turns like a streak of lightning. I saw it running about ten feet and then it just vanished.So I'm pulling over on the side‚ rubbing my eyes‚ like‚ I've been on the road too long. But then‚ all these years later‚ I keep hearing everybody talking about the dimensional thing and that it's perfect with‚ you know‚ never finding the body and all that kind of stuff.” AHAVE A COMMENT?

I received the following report and subsequent follow-up. Other colleagues and I have been tracking flying cryptid &; humanoid encounters in Quebec‚ Ontario &; northern New York state for quite a while. The eyewitnesses have described huge winged beings‚ as evident in the Ottawa Angel Incident and Niagara Mothman accounts:"I was visiting rural Quebec (St. Edgar‚ New Richmond) over the holidays in December 2017. My boyfriend’s mom and grandmother live there along with most of that side of his family‚ since his parents are long divorced. There was a lot of snow on the ground and more coming down every day and night‚ but on this night‚ there was very little snow coming down and it was easier to see at night. My boyfriend and I had taken his grandmother’s car out to go drifting down a long road surrounded by forest - it’s the same road everyone who is local to the area uses for racing. There’s so little to do in this tiny town that people will actually get drunk and go racing down this winding road for fun‚ and friends and family will come to watch and cheer them on. There are a lot of car accidents in this area and this area is also overflowing with wildlife. Deer‚ bear‚ moose‚ coyotes‚ wolves‚ rabbits‚ skunks‚ etc. It’s a fantastic area for hunting (when legal).So picture this: my boyfriend is driving us to his mother’s house and we’ve been drifting on purpose and laughing and obviously scared of what we were doing but having a great time. We’re almost to the end of the road and because of the drifting‚ it’s taken longer than usual to get home. Something swoops through the trees to our right‚ just above where the headlights are lighting up so we can’t see all of it anymore. The thing is so large and heavy that the trees it touched are swaying all around.It had huge black wings that acted as a sort of “blanket” that covered and blacked out an already dark sky‚ and its shape was indistinguishable beyond that. The only thing I could think to describe its size was a moose with wings...minus the 4 legs. Definitely not a moose! That’s just to explain the size of the thing.My boyfriend almost swerved into the trees. He and I were really startled and panicked the whole rest of the drive home‚ and instead of drifting‚ we just drove straight home. He refuses to believe it was anything supernatural and decided it must have been the world’s largest owl. I told him that if he ever finds an owl the size of a car he should rest assured it is NOT an owl.I hadn’t thought about this until a couple of days ago when I was listening to a compilation of stories about skinwalkers‚ and it got me thinking if what my boyfriend and I saw was some sort of cryptid. The closest resembling cryptid is a mix of a mothman or Jersey Devil? I have no idea. Hopefully this is useful to you.Thank you‚ PS"I contacted the witness and asked that she answer a few questions. I explained that there have been similar encounters in Quebec and Ontario in the past. I later received the following information:"Hello!Holy smokes‚ so there are other sightings in Quebec! So it was in New Richmond‚ specifically St. Edgar‚ and the road is called Chemin Mercier. It’s a very long road to take in the snow. Wingspan...15 or 20 feet? The wings did not look like skin‚ but rather dark and feathery. The body itself wasn’t very big compared to the wings. Maybe like a fat and very tall person? But I can’t tell you it looked like a person because it did not. It was also very dark outside so I don’t want to come up with a fake description. I wish I could tell you more. It was more vertically significant than wide‚ like tall instead of broad. Two legs‚ based on the height of the thing‚ and definitely not any more legs than that. I did not see arms or a face. I also did not see eyes.We would have seen it some time between Dec 28-30 (I know this because the 27th was a relaxed day after arriving and the 31st we went skiing... and I ruined my ACL). I recently texted my boyfriend to confirm that it wasn’t just a dream or something and he promised he remembered it too‚ vividly. The description I gave you includes what he said he saw‚ too!If I were to compare it to something‚ I would say the structure looked like a sinister version of the earth sprite from Fantasia 2000 in the Firebird. Obviously not as big as that‚ but the way the wings drooped and the breadth from wing to wing is comparable. Scale it down to 15 or 20 feet across and paint the whole thing pitch black - and you have something to compare it to in shape.Thank you for the reply. I was never a believer in cryptids until recently‚ when I started wondering again about what I saw.I hope this helps! PS"NOTE: the comparison to the Earth Sprites from Disney's 'Fantasia 2000' (accompanied by Igor Stravinsky's 'The Firebird' - one of my favorite ballets and orchestral concert works‚ BTW) is an interesting description. The sightings in the region have been of very large winged beings‚ somewhat larger than the winged humanoid descriptions from Chicago and Florida. LonHAVE A COMMENT?

The witness saw a figure squatting by the bedroom doorway‚ a humanoid figure. It had red leathery skin‚ a toothy grin‚ no eyes‚ and other bizarre characteristics.I received the following account:"This is my story. This is in full detail and as much info as I can give. I hope you enjoy it and I hope there are answers. It was election night 2016‚ and I was lying in bed‚ and about to sleep. I was praying as I usually do every night (before I lost faith) and I was lying on my side‚ facing the wall. I finished praying and I began to slowly sing under my breath to myself as I occasionally did while going to sleep. While I was singing‚ I got a feeling like I was being watched‚ and I heard something from behind me. I turned over to see what it was.When I turned over‚ I saw something that I just couldn't believe‚ and I sat up quickly to stay aware. I saw in the middle of my room‚ squatting by my doorway‚ a humanoid figure. It had red leathery skin‚ It was male as it was shirtless and had no breasts‚ and it had no eyes where it should've had eyes. It had these raised ridges of skin vertically up and down its upper face where its eyes should be. It had no ears‚ instead‚ it had holes like snake ears in the side of its head‚ and they had these curves like normal ears‚ but instead‚ it was inverted inside of the head and not out of the head. It had these large hands with black nails like a dog would have‚ it had huge feet with 4 toes on each‚ again with large black nails. It also had no genitals‚ and instead a scar where the male genitalia should've been‚ like it had been removed somehow.I was panicking and I pinched myself to make sure I was asleep‚ and to no avail‚ I didn't wake up. I was looking at the creature‚ and I noticed it was 'looking' vacantly in front of it‚ and then it turned and 'looked' at me‚ and it tilted its head like a dog‚ and it smiled. I'll also add it did not have lips‚ so it had a Joker-like smile‚ with these odd‚ inhuman-like teeth. It then did something that I still don't understand‚ it went invisible‚ as in‚ it turned invisible but I could still see the 'distortion' where it was‚ like the invisibility effect like in Halo or Fallout (video games). I could see this distortion slowly begin to move towards me‚ and I saw the carpeting in the room shift as it walked on top of it (keep this in memory). It got close to the bed and I started to sweat with fear and clutched my blanket with a strong grip. My bed all of a sudden‚ shifted as if something had sat on top of it‚ and the blankets started to be pulled by an invisible force. At this point‚ I began yelling and kicking the air‚ and it vanished‚ and I never saw it since.I left the room afterward to do something else because at that point I didn't feel like sleeping. I considered the possibilities of what it could've been because I am naturally a skeptic and I always look into everything that happens so I can disprove/prove the existence of something:1: I was fully awake and I could move‚ so it wasn't sleep paralysis.2: I locked my doors and windows as anyone does in their own home‚ so it couldn't have been a human entering with a strange costume (unless a door was opened‚ etc).3: This was a long time ago‚ and I think about this moment every day‚ and I always recall the same details‚ etc‚ I even wrote this down a year after it happened‚ so if it was a dream‚ it would've become vaguer and harder to remember as time went on.4: The blankets were still where it was when the creature moved them.5: The carpet still had footprints and imprints from where it "invisibly" moved toward me. I know this sounds batsh*t crazy but this was my experience‚ and I still wonder what it could've been‚ I've researched slightly and I've only told a few about it‚ so I don't know what it could've been.

Two dark-clothed 'people' knock at a couple's apartment door. The taller person had black eyes. The woman later finds out that she is pregnant‚ though she was told previously that she could not conceive.I received the following account:"Hi - 9 years ago‚ I had an unusual experience‚ which I cannot say was either 'this or that.' My husband and I lived in an apartment at the time. I was asleep in the bedroom and he was out in the living room‚ most likely sleeping on the sofa. I was startled awake by a thunderous knocking at the front door. I was upset because it was about 2 am‚ and thinking it may have been one of my husband's buddies. I heard my husband get up and answer the door. As he did‚ something very weird occurred. I felt like I was in a 'waking dream' - losing all consciousness of the time and my surroundings. It's difficult to describe‚ other than I felt like I was in a bubble but still able to move about.When I left the bedroom‚ I couldn't locate my husband‚ but two other people were standing in the living room by the sliding window. One was very tall and lanky‚ wearing a dark hooded cape. The other was short like the size of a 5-year-old‚ dressed in a black one-piece suit that covered its head. And yet‚ I had an unmistakable sense that the smaller one was the 'person in charge' of the duo and the situation. I was scared since I thought these two were up to 'no good' and I couldn't understand why my husband had let them in - at the same time wondering where he was. I stood still‚ staring at them‚ and trying to get a better look at their faces. The short one was turned away and it never showed its face. But the tall one raised its head and stared right back at me. It looked like a young man with sallow skin - but his eyes were solid black! I remember his face was human-like‚ but that something was just not right. I know there was more‚ but I simply need to remember further details.The only thing that I recall is waking up late the next morning‚ walking out into the kitchen‚ and asking my husband if anyone knocked on the door last night. He said‚ "Yeah‚ someone knocked‚ but when I opened the door‚ no one was there!" He said he looked outside and into the parking lot. He couldn't figure out‚ how someone could knock and get away so quickly without being seen or heard. He was sure it wasn't a neighbor. He said he had a sick feeling after it happened. I didn't tell him what had happened to me - though we have discussed it since then.About 2 months later‚ I discovered that I was pregnant. But that was impossible because I was told before we got married that I could not conceive a child. The doctor looked at my tests and scans from a previous examination and determined that my eggs were not viable‚ but he again confirmed that I was pregnant. Calculation of the time when I conceived fell within the period in which we had the strange experience with the 2 unknown beings.The pregnancy went well and I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. But I have wondered if the encounter had something to do with me being able to conceive a child. Am I being paranoid?" JayeNOTE: Should Jaye be paranoid? Is it possible that she had a close encounter that physically altered her? She agreed to allow me to share her account. LonHAVE A COMMENT?

Two weeks ago‚ Sen. Ron Johnson‚ R-Wis.‚ got an email from a recently married man who learned his 36-year-old wife couldn’t have children shortly after she got her second COVID-19 shot.  “She chose career‚ got the baby/family bug‚ and now she can’t have children‚” the husband said in the email‚ which Johnson read aloud Monday at the opening of a Capitol Hill forum on government officials’ transparency about COVID-19.  “She cries‚ all the time‚” the husband’s email said. “Apologizes to me like it’s her fault. Someone needs to make them pay. And we need safeguards so this doesn’t happen again.” Johnson’s forum—titled “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?” and held in the Senate Russell Office Building—featured a roundtable discussion including 22 testimonials from scientists‚ medical doctors‚ former government officials‚ and journalists about what they said were problems with the vaccines and government efforts to censor the dangers.  The cover-ups involving both the origins of COVID-19 in China and adverse effects of the vaccines likely are linked to protecting the bioweapons industry‚ contended Dr. Harvey Risch‚ professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. After arguing otherwise for years‚ federal agencies today mostly contend that the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan‚ China. Risch went further‚ saying that he believes that the new coronavirus that caused COVID-19 resulted from research on a bioweapon–funded in part through National Institutes of Health grants to the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance.  “This work is what I consider to be the fruit of our bioweapons industry‚” Risch said during the roundtable discussion.  He explained that a 1975 bioweapons treaty included a loophole allowing small quantities of bioweapons to be developed in order to research the effectiveness of vaccines. This loophole was likely exploited‚ he said.  “Many billions of dollars spent on the bioweapons industry over the past decades for all this work‚ [and] where are the successful commercial vaccines to show for it?” Risch asked.  He added: “The cover-up and forced vaccinations of the entire planet were orchestrated to protect the integrity of the bioweapons industry.” Federal public health officials from the National Institutes of Health and one of its subagencies‚ the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have denied the use of “gain of function” research‚ a term that describes a risky process of making a pathogen more dangerous or contagious for the purpose of studying a response. However‚ lawmakers and experts have accused government agencies of splitting hairs on the definition. Journalist Lara Logan‚ formerly of the CBS News program “60 Minutes” and now with Fox Nation among other media outlets‚ said the news media willfully has promoted narratives favored by the powerful in both government and the corporate world.  “These are the worst of times for the media in this country. We live in an age of informational warfare‚” Logan said.  She said companies‚ institutions‚ and journalism schools have failed the country.  “For too long‚ we’ve allowed nonprofit organizations [to] masquerade as nonpartisan media watchdogs‚ when in fact they are highly paid political propagandists and assassins whose entire reason for being is to crush anyone who stands in their way‚” Logan said.  Logan said State Department agencies fund nongovernmental organizations abroad that silence dissent from official narratives and largely do the same in the United States.  “These nonprofits that I’m talking about are a vast censorship network that includes government agencies. They use deception to mask their actions with lofty goals such as preventing the spread of misinformation‚ disinformation‚ hate speech‚” she said‚ adding: They use phrases like ‘protecting democracy.’ And make no mistake‚ words matter. The media is collaborating with government agencies and operatives to censor and shape the information narrative to justify certain actions. For instance‚ when the president of the United States threatens the unvaccinated‚ saying ‘Our patience is wearing thin‚’ and accuses them of putting communities at risk‚ his words are designed to justify hatred‚ censorship‚ and intimidation. On the question in the forum’s title‚ “What are they hiding?” evolutionary biologist and podcaster Bret Weinstein answered: “They are hiding everything.” “Every single institution dedicated to public truth-seeking is under simultaneous attack‚” Weinstein said.  “Our research universities have huge sums of public money to reach preordained conclusions‚” he added. “Professors teach only lessons consistent with what students pick up on TikTok. The New York Times and The Washington Post only report important stories after they have become common knowledge. Morticians must now raise alarms over patterns missed by medical examiners. … We have literally witnessed the Department of Homeland Security attempt to set up a truth ministry.” Johnson and others talked about reports of problems with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System‚ or VAERS‚ a database maintained by two agencies‚ the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.  In a statement last week to The Daily Signal‚ an FDA spokesperson argued that the VAERS system contains raw data and isn’t by itself conclusive.  “The VAERS website is transparent about the system’s limitations‚” the FDA spokesperson said. “When any member of the public opens the website‚ the user must then acknowledge reading and understanding specific information that includes‚ among other important details‚ ‘VAERS data available to the public include only the initial report data to VAERS. Updated data which contains data from medical records and corrections reported during follow up are used by the government for analysis. However‚ for numerous reasons including data consistency‚ these amended data are not available to the public.’” Johnson argued during his forum Monday that elite institutions damaged their credibility during the pandemic.  “I believe the growing corruption of science‚ scientific research‚ medical journals‚ federal health agencies‚ and‚ as a result‚ the practice of medicine‚ has been exposed in the failed response to the pandemic‚” Johnson said. “To repair the damage that has been done‚ we must honestly and relentlessly pursue the truth.” Have an opinion about this article?

America’s political establishment has less respect for the U.S. dollar than our foreign adversaries. That was made clear when Tucker Carlson recently interviewed the Russian strongman President Vladimir Putin‚ who clearly articulated how the uniparty in Washington is destroying America’s greatest strategic and economic asset—her currency. Last year‚ led by the chairman and ranking member of the relevant House and Senate committees‚ a bipartisan and bicameral bill was introduced that would hand another $300 billion to Ukraine‚ this time in the form of the confiscated U.S. dollars owned by the Russian central bank and the Russian people. There are now renewed calls for this measure as both the budget battle at home and the war in Ukraine drag on. Not during the Vietnam or Korean wars or at any point during the height of the Cold War did America do this to the Soviet Union. U.S. statesmen understood then‚ as our adversaries do now‚ that the dollar’s reserve currency status is among our most important global assets‚ both economically and strategically. This steadfast principled commitment facilitated our post-war expansion of influence over global affairs and commerce‚ directed investment to the U.S.‚ and kept inflation at bay by parking dollars as reserves the world over. Eager to demolish this foundation of our global presence and dam that holds back inflation‚ the Washington uniparty is rallying behind the next step to gut the U.S. dollar. We warned on this site before how President Joe Biden’s unprecedented freezing of U.S. dollars owned by a foreign central bank has fundamentally jeopardized the currency’s hard-won reserve status. In fact‚ it’s a main factor now driving dozens of countries away from what they see as a dangerous and unpredictable United States—countries now including France and Saudi Arabia. Of course‚ China is eager to exploit these fears and welcome countries into its rapidly growing BRICS anti-dollar bloc. After the Biden administration spent months scoffing at the mere hint of de-dollarization‚ Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dropped a bombshell last year‚ casually admitting that not only is de-dollarization happening‚ but Americans should expect more—in her words‚ it’s “only natural” for countries to flee the dollar since the world is big. In fact‚ countries are not fleeing the dollar because the world is big‚ they are fleeing because Biden made them question the U.S. dollar by using it as a political football where countries must grovel and obey Washington or risk having their national patrimony frozen. Nations who disagree with Biden on abortion‚ homosexuality‚ fossil fuel use‚ etc. also run the risk of seeing their dollar reserves taken away. As if on cue‚ the Biden administration has threatened sanctions against countries with anti-sodomy laws such as Uganda. This asset seizure bill would dramatically up the ante. If the U.S. is willing to not just freeze‚ but actually hand over a nation’s entire dollar reserves to another country‚ it confirms the worst fears of any country questioning whether they can count on the dollar or the U.S. at all. As more nations lose confidence in the dollar‚ they will sell their dollars. If enough countries do this‚ those trillions will come flooding home to America—essentially 70 years of deficits pouring in almost all at once. This tsunami could set off an inflation the likes of which we haven’t seen in a century. Imagine the last three years of price increases put on steroids‚ amphetamines‚ and covered in nicotine patches. At a minimum‚ it’d be multiple years of double-digit inflation like we’re used to seeing in Third World countries. At worst‚ it’d be a full-blown Weimar Republic replacing wallets with wheelbarrows for carrying around currency. Such an economic catastrophe would‚ of course‚ take America off the world stage‚ not by choice but by necessity. The uniparty would have made their virtue-signaling gift to the Ukraine at the expense of America’s very standing as a world power. The naive calls for currency manipulation are a defiling of the dollar’s sanctity and an assault on people’s property rights. If the uniparty in Congress and the Biden administration push the issue much further‚ it will mean a long walk off a short pier into an ocean of misery for the American people.
