An abductee describes her first experience‚ and why she believes that these alien beings and our government are working together to genetically transform the human species.I received the following account:"I'm a 43-year-old woman and have been abducted 3 times (that I can at least remember). It started when I was 12 years old. I was in my bedroom star-gazing out of my window in Arlington‚ Texas at around 11:15 PM on November 22‚ 1992. I saw a light moving in the night sky that moved slowly south. It was not blinking and was like a hazy ball of white light. It would stop and go frequently and move in one direction then disappear and reappear going in another direction. I noticed it getting brighter as if it were getting closer to me.All of a sudden it stops and a beam of light comes straight at me. I fall back off of the table I was sitting on and I can't see anything but white. My eyes were blurred and couldn't see anything but light. I got cold and felt like I was floating.Then I am all of a sudden in the presence of 3 beings and I'm lying on a metallic table. The beings were short and skinny with long arms. Their heads were elongated and their bodies were like a pale human with tinted skin of grey and had a texture of scales on their body and wrinkles on their face‚ especially near their eyes. Their eyes were slanted and large black shiny eyes. When they blinked‚ their eyelids were transparent like a reptile‚ almost clear. They had a small mouth and almost like a frown. I felt as if I was in a trance state. I could move but was too scared to‚ so I lay there and looked down at the straps holding my arms and legs. It looked like a type of flexible metal‚ but soft.They poked me with a needle that came down from the ceiling and a monitor was floating around me and I could see myself on the monitor. Like a floating TV going all around my body. I began to scream and the one being‚ who I believe was older and possibly male in gender‚ looked at me and spoke to me through my mind in a robotic-like human voice and told me I had nothing to worry about. All of a sudden I looked at him and thought what do you want. He responded we are here to help you. We are of many and we are one of the same. I asked‚ "What do you mean we are the same?" He looked at the other two beings and then the other smaller being said in a female robotic-like voice‚ "We protect your race from others who want to harm you."I kept asking questions and they began to ignore me. They put a film of clear soft silk-like material over my face and I don't remember anything after that. I woke up in my bedroom on the floor and wobbled my way to the window and they were gone. I looked at my clock and it was 11:34 PM. It had only been 20 minutes or so‚ but it felt like hours had gone by.Throughout the years I have had multiple abductions and it's just not something you go telling people without getting a weird look. Back in 2012 I began a blog online and explained many of my experiences. My computer would constantly crash and even catch fire during a live chat with another person while chatting about our experiences online. It began to make me nervous to go online researching things like this.I feel as if I'm being watched by our government. Through many of my abductions‚ I have learned that the government is working hand-in-hand with them and it is bigger than I realize. Something is going on which I believe is a new form of genetic transformation of the human species."

Our Top 10 George Thorogood Songs list looks at an artist who has blended powerhouse boogie‚ blues‚ and rock to create a distinctive original sound. George Thorogood released his first album in 1977‚ entitled George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Out of the album’s ten songs‚ eight were covers. That defined George Thorogood as an artist primarily focusing on covering blues classics. That’s not surprising because most blues artists spend most of their careers covering all the blues classics written throughout the early and mid-20th century. Nonetheless‚ George Thorogood would write the two biggest hits of his career. After the release The post Top 10 George Thorogood Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

The indie film Monolith made the festival rounds last year‚ and Well Go USA Entertainment has picked it up for a wider theatrical release (and a release in digital) next month. The movie‚ which has been described as a low-fi sci-fi thriller‚ centers around a journalist who gets sucked into an apparent story about some sinister “bricks” that‚ if the trailer is any indication‚ seem to mess with your mind. Monolith is the feature-length debut of Matt Vesely‚ and has the following for its official synopsis: While trying to salvage her career‚ a disgraced journalist begins investigating a strange conspiracy theory. But as the trail leads uncomfortably close to home‚ she is left to grapple with the lies at the heart of her own story. We never find out the name of that journalist (Collider calls her “The Interviewer”)‚ but we do know that she’s portrayed by Australian actor Lily Sullivan‚ who played the ass-kicking aunt in Evil Dead Rise. If the trailer is any indication‚  the movie appears to largely take place in a house full of glass windows‚ modern angles‚ and a sparse interior design aesthetic‚ which means that Sullivan’s performance likely makes or breaks the movie (and based on critical reviews‚ it sounds like she does a stellar job). Monolith‚ in a few words‚ is aiming for a tone that’s creepy as fuck. And the trailer delivers on that—just look at those disturbing shots of that turtle in the fish tank! You can judge for yourself whether that vibe lasts throughout the entire film when it premieres in theaters and on digital demand starting on February 16‚ 2024.

We haven’t gotten much news recently about 3 Body Problem‚ the Netflix series from Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff‚ as well as Alexander Woo (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks‚ True Blood). The series based on the books by Cixin Liu‚ however‚ got a trailer today that hints at some of the plot points we’ll see in the show—which include some shifts away from its source material. According to an interview on TUDUM‚ a Netfix-run website‚ the showrunners talked with Liu early on in the development process and got his blessing on certain changes to the books‚ including “chronological shifts‚ character tweaks‚ expansions‚ additions‚ and setting the present-day story primarily in the U.K.” Woo spoke to TUDUM about the changes. “The experience of watching a television series is different from watching a feature film‚ [which] is so different from the experience of reading a novel‚” he said. “What we are hoping to do is to convey the experience—if not necessarily the exact details—of the novel onto the screen.  What stayed‚ we hope‚ is the sense of wonderment and the sense of scope‚ of scale‚ where the problems are no longer just the problems of an individual or even a nation‚ but of an entire species.” Any changes to the source material are hard to judge until we’ve actually seen the screen adaptation‚ so I’m going to withhold critique here. The trailer for the adaptation does a good job‚ however‚ of conveying the grandiose nature of Liu’s story‚ the sense of unyielding dread at humanity’s apparently inevitable destruction‚ and also seems to tackle the books’ virtual reality component in a compelling way. Call me intrigued! 3 Body Problem stars Jess Hong‚ Benedict Wong‚ Eiza González‚ Jovan Adepo‚ Alex Sharp‚ John Bradley‚ Saamer Usmani‚ Liam Cunningham‚ Rosalind Chao‚ Jonathan Pryce‚ Marlo Kelly‚ Sea Shimooka‚ Ben Schnetzer‚ and Zine Tseng. It’s executive produced by a lot of folks‚ including Bernadette Caulfield‚ Rian Johnson‚ Ram Bergman‚ Nena Rodrigue‚ Brad Pitt‚ Jeremy Kleiner‚ Dede Gardner‚ Rosamund Pike‚ Robie Uniacke‚ Lin Qi‚ Zhao Jilong‚ Fenfen Xu‚ and Xiasong Ga. All eight episodes of 3 Body Problem premiere on Netflix on March 21‚ 2024 (a bit later than the previously announced January 2024 release). In the meantime‚ here’s a poster that will help sear the show’s release date into your eyeballs:

In May 2023‚ when then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy negotiated a debt limit deal that included spending limits‚ the gross national debt stood at just under $31.5 trillion. Conservatives in the House were deeply upset about the debt deal‚ which contained fraudulent gimmicks to get around the announced spending limits. Less than eight months later‚ the debt has skyrocketed to $34 trillion‚ or more than $100‚000 for every man‚ woman‚ and child in the country. Current House Speaker Mike Johnson‚ R-La.‚ reopened spending negotiations with the White House. His goal was to reduce the amount of deficit spending‚ which has become a growing threat to the economy. On Sunday‚ Johnson announced that the two sides reached a deal. While not all of the details are known‚ some key facts have been revealed. Those include: Speeding up planned cuts to the Democrats’ IRS slush fund. Saving $16 billion by rescinding $6 billion in still-unspent COVID-19 funds and removing $10 billion in budget gimmicks. However‚ many important aspects might not become clear until actual legislation is produced. For example‚ Johnson claims potentially $14 billion in further reductions relative to the draft spending bills produced by the Senate‚ but Democrats suggest otherwise. Similarly‚ fake “emergency” spending might skate through in some form. More importantly‚ it appears that most of the taxpayer-funded dysfunction in the federal government will continue unabated. From wasteful earmarks to handouts for radicals in academia to white elephant high-speed rail projects‚ the budget deal will have little effect on the broken status quo. Even if the deal makes as much progress as Johnson claims‚ it will be a minuscule drop in the bucket relative to the size of the nation’s fiscal challenge. Federal spending is expected to grow much faster than both tax revenues and the economy in the years to come‚ even if we avoid a recession. Saving $30 billion would help‚ of course‚ but it would also not make a visible difference in the trajectory depicted in the chart above. It won’t even undo the damage caused by the Biden administration’s shenanigans in 2023. While the size and scope of the federal government is almost beyond comprehension‚ the reason why spending is likely to skyrocket is driven by just three parts of the budget‚ none of which are touched by the deal. The cost of paying interest on the national debt has gone through the roof due to both the meteoric rise of interest rates over the past year and the continual surge of deficit spending. While it’s impossible to know where rates will go from here‚ credit markets are increasingly wary of giving Uncle Sam cheap credit. On top of that‚ both Social Security and Medicare are rapidly heading towards bankruptcy due to unsustainable spending growth. What used to be a “future generations” problem is now a “next 10 years” problem‚ meaning that most current retirees (along with everyone else) are at risk of sharp benefit cuts unless Washington takes action. It’s unclear how much more Johnson could have gotten in the negotiation. Not only are the Biden administration and all the Democrats in both the House and Senate in lockstep opposition to modest spending cuts‚ but centrist Republicans also flinch under the slightest pressure. (In the media’s backwards budget logic‚ members of Congress who reliably vote for spending increases are labeled “moderate‚” while the handful of deficit hawks are called “extremists.”) The problem isn’t Johnson. The problem is an irresponsible culture that has festered in the swamp for decades‚ treating America’s hard-earned money like a plaything and dodging hard choices at every opportunity. Only the American public can make Washington take its job seriously. The last major spending reduction happened because of the tea party movement—and that anti-establishment sentiment is as strong as ever. If legislators realize that there are consequences to ignoring the national debt‚ they’ll start paying attention. Have an opinion about this article?
