"The Tweet heard round the worlds," per the Huffington Post
It's hard not to giggle when watching Star Trek The Next Generation, especially on an HD television. The sets look cheap, the special effects dated, and it's tempting to attack like Edward Scissorhands whenever I see Beverly Crusher's bangs. I remember how incredible TNG seemed back in 87', and how long fans had waited for a series reboot. Twenty years after the original show, it had become really hard to take Shatner seriously as he waddled around a movie set, unbuckling his pants before settling into the Captain's chair. "Fire the grill, Scottie!" Of course, a second twenty years has passed since TNG went off the air, making me wonder how my current sci-fi favorites might hold up in 2035. I suppose that like the Brady Bunch Superbowl commercial, it will depend on if the SyFy channel's "Cylons" stop their human genocide once they have a Snickers bar.
Two weeks ago, John Podesta - an outgoing advisor to President Obama - publicly acknowledged that the US government has been holding back knowledge of extraterrestrial life. Mr. Podesta was the highest-ranking official to have ever made such an admission while in office, and it's becoming increasingly clear that full UFO disclosure can happen at any moment. Our universe is teeming with life, and the United States is the last major country to acknowledge that fact. At this point in history, denying the existence of alien life is as laughable as "Baghdad Bob's" claims that Iraq had not been invaded. There is so ... much ... evidence, from Timothy Good's research for the British government to Stephen Greer's Disclosure Project interviews - where credible military officials who had been sworn to secrecy for 50 years finally admitted to human interaction with extraterrestrial species, starting in the Eisenhower administration. Hell, when a soccer mom at Wendy's takes video of lights in the sky making 90 degree turns at impossible speeds, how can we not look UP and wonder?
I've often said that I can feel something coming, some type of "event" that will scare the hell out of everyone - so much so that it will temporarily disrupt the flow of goods & services. I believe this event will be a global occurrence, and I suspect that much of the present unrest in the world is because those in other countries can feel it approaching - and are showing that fear through violence. From ISIS to Iran, from Putin to Kim Jong Un...I suspect that even China's military buildup are all symptoms of a shared global worry. Every culture reacts to fear differently, and sadly, many lash out with aggression because it's all they know. And when this event happens, it will be up to the calm, steady hand of powers like the US to lead by example into a brave new world of understanding - on the subject that John Podesta has been trying to disclose sine the Clinton administration.

Star Trek TNG: "The Chase" There's a TNG episode called "The Chase," in which humans, Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans are all in a race to unlock a secret that's hidden in the DNA of every known race in the galaxy. The secret is a puzzle, with one piece in human DNA, one piece in Klingon DNA, and so on. In order to discover the puzzle's ultimate meaning, all pieces must be found and placed together - which of course means that enemies must work together. And when the puzzle is finally assembled, what does everyone find? (Wait for it...) Yes! ALL of us, every race, every species, every puddle of goo on every planet come from the same creator...which means that we're all the same. Cue Michael Jackson's Black & White, people ...because this amazing episode's oh-so-subtle message means there's no need to build any more missiles in Pyongyang. Putin can put his shirt back on while riding his horse out of Ukraine, and China can stop...well, you know...being China. (Chuckling) We can finally elect "Red Forman" as Earth's President. It's about time that someone calls Kim Jong Un a "dumbass."
All jokes aside, I mention this episode because I genuinely believe in the idea that humanity was seeded on Earth from an alien race. Yes, I know, that's a statement that's easy to ridicule...because let's face it: the Catholic idea of Creation makes sooooooooooooo much more sense. The truth is that nobody knows where we came from - and that includes respected scientists who claim we evolved from slurry. Whether you're Professor Michio Kaku or Jim Bakker hawking Rapture-ravoli, you ... just ... don't ... know. At least not for sure. And I really believe that evolution is as likely as creation, as the idea that man evolved in just 200,000 years is about as realistic as walking around commando in the garden of Adam & Eve. What makes far more sense - and let me duck as Catholic nuns throw their rosaries & shoes at me - is the idea that mankind was brought here from a far more established world. I believe our ancestors were released on Earth, in the same way we release animals into the wild. We tag them, we watch their progress, and we hope to find a way to enjoy their lives. And maybe if we're lucky, those animals will return to us later, all grown up, like a collie in a Disney movie.

Modern Quantum Computing: The "D:WAVE" But just like TNG's "The Chase," I believe that mankind's true origin is hidden within our DNA coding. The Human Genome Project finished a rough-draft DNA-map in 2003, but the completion opened the door to many more questions: What advances will this cause in medicine and biotechnology? Can we manipulate our DNA to remove disease and enhance positive traits? Our human chromosomes have billions of lines of code, so of course, there's the big conspiratorial question: Did our creator leave our true origin for us to find, hidden, within our DNA sequence? Sounds like science fiction I know, but DNA is like advanced computer code, and what better place to place a message than within the very fabric of our molecular being. It's just like 2001: A Space Odyssey. The monolith remained buried on the moon, until humanity reached the technological level that was needed to both find it - and understand it. With quantum computers becoming a fast reality, the ability to discover those monolith-like secrets are rapidly coming into reach. And no anger over a Muhammad cartoon will stop it.
So, kudos Mr. Podesta for your last admission before leaving your official position to join Hillary's campaign. I admire your courage, and the stance you've taken on a subject that many people ridicule - because they fear the truth. A pro-disclosure stance would make a BIG impact on who I vote for in 2016. But that being said, even with cigar-shaped UFOs, I am not voting for another Clinton -
Let's find someone else to serve mankind.
