When economists talk about the crash, they usually blame subprime mortgages and profligate lending by the banks. However, our financial problems are only a side-effect of the real issue, which is that, last summer, we experienced our first taste of what it is like to butt up against the limits of the earth's ability to sustain our growth. Things...

In the New Scientist of January 17, 2009, there appears an article about what could be the most important physics experiment in history, one that could, by revolutionizing our understanding of reality, enable us to much more accurately know who and what we are. And that may be radically different from what we appear to ourselves to be--solid,...

Christmas has come, and with it a renewed sense of inner joy. I always have a rough time between October and December, because that's the part of 1985 that I was dealing with the visitors, but unable to consciously remember what was happening at night. When you see in Communion the scene of me prowling around with the shotgun, that's when it...

Let me begin by saying that it is my fervent hope that I am entirely wrong about what follows. I fear that the opposite is true, though, which is why I'm writing it now. We must wait two more months before the Democrats take power, and the Bush Administration appears at this point to be actually working to harm the economy during these eight fatal...

When the subject of UFOs was brought up with Barack Obama during the campaign, he simply laughed for a brief moment and moved on. McCain, by contrast, said that NASA was keeping secrets that he would make them reveal. However, John Podesta is the head of the president-elect's transition team, and he has taken an interest in UFO disclosure, so it...

On reading Anne Strieber's diary, "The Fox in the Hen House," I am inspired to add my two cents. I suppose I am a Johnny-Come-Lately, as I discovered only Friday that the "Fox News" channel has been around for years. When we were doing Coast to Coast AM on Friday night, the TV monitor was playing this channel. I did not watch it much, obviously...

Not since the summer of 1989 have I seen such a massive upwelling of dire prophecy in the world. At Unknowncountry.com, we are getting emails every day from people who are having dreams or visions of terrible events in the immediate future. The Arlington Institute, a respected futurist think tank, has just published a document noting that it is...

There are rumors floating around the beltway that the credit crisis was intentionally triggered by gigantic short sales that were orchestrated in London and Dubai, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared "that 'the American empire' is nearing collapse and should end its military involvement in other countries." At the same time, as...

Note: This journal entry was posted on September 15 and accidentally deleted. It is now being re-posted. Yes, indeed, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have just been bailed out to the tune of hundreds of billion dollars of debt that has been transferred right onto the backs of us, the American people. And now Lehman Brothers, after making--and pocketing...

Over the past few weeks, I've read a great deal about Russia's new belligerence. Most of the articles have expressed a level of shock and bewilderment that surprises me. In my book "Critical Mass," which comes out this January, two great dangers will be explored: the primary geopolitical danger that faces the west today, which is nuclear terrorism...

Last summer, the so called "drones" appeared. Linda Moulton Howe and I soon confirmed that the photographs were real, both by what photo analysis could done, and by numerous interviews with witnesses, many of whom were willing to go on the record with their names. There followed a barrage of drone videos on the internet, all except one of them...

I have collaborated on a graphic novel about human mutilations called the Nye Incidents that is going to be out shortly. (If you want a copy, the best thing to do is to call your local comics shop and ask them to order it. It's by Craig Spector and it's from Devil's Due Comics.) Now, why have I done this? Most of you have realized by now that I...

This is really an extraordinary time to be involved in the close encounter experience. I cannot remember such a time in my life, and I think, probably, that there has never been such a time before. The reason is simple: there have been UFO before this one, and large ones, but there has never been a substantial group of people capable of...

At 4:53 in the morning on Friday, December 7, I saw a strange object over Santa Monica, California. This was fantastic enough, but the events that preceded the sighting may have been some sort of contact experience. If so, it was the first I have had in years. I'm going to begin with the sighting, and then go back to the beginning of the previous...
