So, there's this gentleman named "Jaka Parker" who's been posting some amazing YouTube videos that show daily life in Pyongyang from the perspective of an average Joe who lives/works in the city. And Parker's really got some balls; he explores the capitol with a hidden camera that records all surroundings like Google Glass, or James Bond's can of shaving cream. Considering how secretive DPRK society is, I'm surprised the local thought-police haven't retraced Jaka's steps, busted down his door, and thrown him into Camp 14. In North Korea you see, it's a crime to secretly record anything about daily life, especially events that show the NK regime in a negative light. One example of negative light would be the public executions of people who've secretly recorded daily life.
Anyway, with camera recording, the viewer follows Jaka Parker down streets, through urban pedestrian tunnels, across intersections with more bikes than cars, and down miles and miles of colorless boulevards lined with bleak, identical, Orwellian apartment buildings. Unlike footage of soldiers marching though the People's Square, Jaka's videos capture the monotony of North Korean life - a world void of joy. There are no corner coffee shops or breakfast diners with neon-trimmed windows. There are no 7-Elevens, and certainly no 24-hour superstores with parking lots full of cars. There are no glowing Coke/Pepsi machines, no twinkling LED advertisements, no lines outside the Taco Bell drive-thru. There is no "entertainment" of any kind - in the windows of buildings, or anywhere on the street - unless you count the billboards of Kim, Kim, and Kim painted within images of Soviet bounty above empty shops and grocery stores. Jaka Parker has captured the "genuine" North Korea, cold & comfortless, repetitive & gray. It's like the world's most depressing virtual-reality trip. And it's a haunting omen of what's likely to come during the first four years of Trump's presidency -
Hold that thought.

A friend of mine recently said, "ENOUGH with the political blogs already." I told him I agree, and look forward to returning to my favorite topics. It's hard not write political stuff though; the anger surrounding the Trump Presidency is extreme, especially within the gay community. With so much focus on cabinet picks, executive orders, and immigration, no one even noticed this amazing passage from the President's inauguration speech - with a message directed to the millions of people who believe that full extraterrestrial disclosure will happen at any moment: "We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow. A new national pride will stir ourselves, lift our sights and heal our divisions." When I heard that, a chill shot up my spine. "Does anyone realize the importance of what Trump just said?" I wondered. "That's language straight from Alex Jones, Steven Greer, and even - in theme - Micheo Kaku."
Almost a year ago, I remember watching an InfoWars video where Alex Jones first connected Donald Trump to potential ET disclosure. I can't recall Jones' exact words, but they involved Trump being in the know, a billionaire who understood how the world really "works" - alluding to big business actively repressing new energy technologies that would reduce (and ultimately eliminate) our dependance on oil. This concept is the holy grail of the disclosure movement, and I'll admit I used to think it was all a bunch of conspiratorial nonsense. But I don't think that anymore. There are too many high-profile politicians and world leaders who have flat-out admitted that not only are extraterrestrials real, but they've likely been involved with humanity since the dawn of time. And with both world powers like China & Russia - and private companies like Space-X, Virgin Galactic, and Bigelow Aerospace - all pushing full steam ahead to return to the moon and launch missions to explore the solar system, our government can't keep the ET secret for much longer: we're gonna find out. So, they'd better fess up now.
It's no secret that since the 1970s, the White House press corps has been forbidden to ask any question regarding our government's knowledge of extraterrestrial intelligence. To ask such a question would result in removal from the press room, with possible repercussions for the reporter's parent news organization. But the Trump White House is breaking with status quo, allowing reporters from "non traditional" organizations to sit/Skype side by side with CNN, Fox, and the New York Times. For the first time ever, bloggers, aggregation sites, e-zines, and people like Alex Jones are being taken just as seriously as venerable networks & papers that have monopolized the news cycle for almost a century. And it makes perfect sense. Far more people (myself included) now get their news from places like Drudge or the Fox iPhone app than reading a paper or even watching a news channel. We no longer need to read "All The News That's Fit To Print," we can read what we want to read, and go to sites, shows, podcasts, and YouTube channels that specialize in the topics that interest us. And right now I'm very interested in what Donald Trump might share about "the mysteries of space." Don't forget John Podesta's final tweet, before joining Hillary's campaign in 2015:

Why was this not a front-page news story?
If Jaka Parker can smuggle footage out of Pyongyang, you know damn well that someone in government will do the same with ET disclosure. I suspect it's already happened; the internet is filled with chillingly-real video & audio recordings that share what was said on private "medical channels" (during the Apollo missions), or live NASA feeds that were suddenly cut off when something unexplainable entered camera view. I've said this before in previous blogs: these days every kid, soccer mom, airplane passenger, or even military officer has an Android or an IPhone in their pocket, with a quality HD camera. It's impossible to repress any news story, because there are just too many people with instant access to all information - and the ability to share it all with the tap of a touch screen. And like we saw with the recent election, if enough people get behind an idea, that idea becomes a movement that will force its way to the news cycle's center.
My prediction is that the disclosure movement will make itself heard before the next Presidential election.
