About this episode
WHEN THE Vice President of the United States mentions aliens and demons in the same sentence, you know we’ve entered a new era. J. D. Vance recently told podcaster Benny Johnson he doesn’t believe ETs are aliens, he thinks they’re demons. Needless to say, that drew a lot of snarky comments from the media, even though the vice president isn’t entirely wrong. Then Johnson, who seems to be asking all his guests about the UFO/UAP phenomenon these days, heard this from former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz: “I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that.” Gaetz claimed the man told him that the secret program forced extraterrestrials in custody to mate with humans who’d been abducted from war zones or “from caravans with migrants.” Gaetz admitted he hadn’t verified the whistleblower’s claims, but said he was told there were between six and 12 breeding facilities around the country. This reminded us of the breeding program in the film Alien vs. Predator, in which humans were used to incubate the monstrous aliens from the film franchise at a secret lair under the ice in Antarctica. The imagery in that film borrows heavily from the horror fiction of author H. P. Lovecraft, whose work was, probably not coincidentally, the inspiration for Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods? Derek documented the links between Lovecraft and von Däniken in the recent book Destination: Earth, which we excerpted at our Substack page last year (GilbertHouse.substack.com). We are skeptical. Biologically, a breeding program between wildly incompatible species makes no sense. Technologically, the barriers to crossing vast distances of space are not understood by those of us who aren't astrophysicists or aerospace engineers. Let's just say that hyperspace, warp drive, and wormholes are science fiction – emphasis on fiction. Our take is that this is another example of the military-intelligence complex controlling the UFO narrative, as it's done since 1947. Not coincidentally, we are just two months away from the release of the new Steven Spielberg UFO/ET movie, Disclosure Day. We also discussed the mystery of eight dead or missing scientists over the last two years, all connected to some aspect of aerospace engineering or astronomical science. This reminds us of a mystery we talked about often in the early days of this podcast, going back to 2005, of scientists in the fields of molecular biology and genetics going missing or turning up deceased. What is the
