RK JR: One of the Democrats was ridiculing President Trump for his math, and she was saying it's in mathematically impossible to have any drug drop by 600% cost. And I said, well, if the drug was $100 and it raised the price of $600. That would be a 600% rise. If it drops from 600 to 100, that's a 600% savings.  Trump: That’s right. RFK JR: The president used that mathematical device to illustrate the magnitude of the theft.

Reporter: How long are you willing to wait for a response from Iran? Trump: Don’t rush me. We were in Vietnam for 18 years.

THE TRAGEDY OF DAVID WILCOCK AND WHAT IT REVEALS Many of you know by now that David Wilcock passed away yesterday in an apparent suicide by gunshot. It is a tragic and sad event, and my heart goes out to his parents, family, loved ones, and everyone affected by his death. May his soul find its way back home and rest until the next round. I first came across his work around 2006 and subscribed to his newsletter for a few years. I also met him in person in 2009 at a UFO conference. At first, I appreciated some of his work and insights. But over time, as I dug deeper into UFOs, disclosure, and related topics, I began to seriously question many of his claims and sources. Over the years, it became increasingly clear that the vast majority of his predictions, “visionary dreams,” and prophecies never came true. He kept moving the goalposts and shifting the timelines, constantly coming up with new stories and new “insider information” to explain why nothing happened. I clearly remember his prediction of “imminent UFO disclosure” back in 2008. He made similar predictions almost every year after that. Around 2010, I unsubscribed from his newsletter when he claimed he would be working personally with Obama to bring down the Illuminati, that he was in contact with high-level government officials, and that mass arrests were coming to take down the cabal and usher in a Golden Age. He also claimed that masses of people would literally ascend out of their bodies in 2012 and all "evil" would be eradicated. Out of curiosity, I listened to part of his last livestream a couple of days ago. What I saw and heard was sad to witness. He came across as someone who seemed to be in serious physical and psychological decline. Even in that final stream, just before his tragic death, he was again saying that disclosure is coming very soon, that it is imminent. The same prediction he had been pushing for nearly twenty years, like a dangling carrot. My intention here is not to speak badly about a man who just passed away. On a human level, this is tragic. But it also points to a much bigger issue, the huge elephant in the room that many people in the New Age UFO and disclosure movement either fail to see or explain away through spiritual bypassing or "conspiracy bypassing". That elephant in the room is the normalization of mental illness, personality disorders, and spiritual narcissism or grandiosity. More than anything, I saw someone who appeared deeply troubled and psychologically unwell, and who seemed to be struggling with paranoia and increasingly distorted beliefs. I also know from people close to him that he had been dealing with major debt and financial problems, a recent divorce, and a visible mental decline that, according to them, included increasing delusions. The problem is that many people, especially his fans, explain these real-life and psychological issues away by claiming he was “targeted” by energy weapons, that his decline was “manufactured,” or that he was a threat to the cabal and therefore was “taken out,” “suicided,” or driven mad by outside forces. Whatever the specific story is, the pattern is the same. Something or someone else is blamed, placing him entirely in the role of the victim, while rarely acknowledging his long history of false claims and increasingly concerning behavior. I call this the “conspiracy bypass”: the refusal to consider that his suicide may have resulted from his own psychological decline, and the insistence instead that it must have been caused by some nefarious outside force targeting him. I don’t know whether some of what he said was simply fabricated for attention, or whether he fully believed it himself. But one of the biggest red flags was always the same: unnamed “insiders” he claimed to know, who supposedly gave him information that could never be independently verified. Since his death, some people have already claimed that he is still alive and was “extracted by the military and the Galactic Federation of Light, hidden away in Cheyenne Mountain or somewhere else." Another prominent figure in the New Age UFO and disclosure scene claims that her “psychic intuition” tells her David faked his own death with the help of the SSP, the so-called Secret Space Program. I am sure this tragic event will generate many more wild claims and conspiracies. But beyond all of that, it reveals a deeper issue in these New Age ascension and UFO disclosure circles: psychological problems, mental illness, paranoia, delusions, and even schizophrenic episodes are often immediately reinterpreted as “ascension symptoms,” “alien implants,” “high-tech energy weapons,” “entity interference,” or “psychic attacks.” And almost always, these explanations cast the person into a victimized role with a “special mission.” Now, I am the first to point out the reality of hyperdimensional interference, occult forces, entity attachments, and psychic attacks. I have experienced these myself and spoken and written about these topics for over twenty years. But I am equally aware of the psychological dimension, and of the absolute necessity of sincere psychological inner work, trauma work, inner child work, and shadow work. Without that foundation, people remain wide open to paranoia and deception, especially the Luciferic temptation of grandiosity and specialness, which so many insecure and wounded individuals fall for in the more ungrounded side of New Age culture. The lack of grounded and embodied somatic psycho-spiritual inner work in the field Wilcock was active in, which has only grown more popular over time, is the unacknowledged pink elephant in the room. Too many people are fascinated by “imminent disclosure,” New Age predictions, 5D ascension, mass arrests, the fall of the cabal, and the endless sci-fi narratives that are so prominent in the disclosure movement. All of this becomes a distraction from the most important work there is: to anchor Spirit and the Divine within and to be the change. I never understood why so many people kept following David despite the many failed predictions and increasingly concerning behavior over the years. But I also think he filled a void of meaning for many people. They projected hope onto him. And to be fair, I do believe he inspired many people in certain ways. Hopefully, David's death will prompt more people to look within, rather than waiting for some future event that never arrives, or at least not in the way they imagine, especially when it comes to disclosure, and that only distracts from the deeper work each of us is here to do in ordinary, everyday life. Godspeed.
