Quote:MELBOURNE — The US Justice Department has revealed that in 2024 American authorities seized two China-bound mission crew trainers (MCTs) that it says were designed to train the Chinese military in anti-submarine warfare, were based on tech improperly derived from the US and were exported “illegally” — allegations vehemently denied by the South African firm that exported the equipment.

“The MCTs are mobile classrooms, housed in shipping containers, intended to assist the PLA [People’s Liberation Army] to train personnel on the use of airborne warning and control system (“AWACS”) and antisubmarine warfare (“ASW”) aircraft, focused mostly on the capabilities of the U.S. ASW maritime patrol aircraft (“MPA”) P-8 Poseidon, manufactured by Boeing,” says a forfeiture complaint filed in a Washington, DC, court on Thursday.

“It is an established fact that PLAN models their processes and CONOPs very much on US and by extension, NATO practices, which they appear to perceive more often than not best practice and therefore relevant to learning from,” said Australian naval analyst Alex Luck.

Quote:A nasty 15-mph quartering wind blew across the makeshift landing deck on the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania. Spotters on board the ship, anchored in San Francisco Bay, believed the adverse weather conditions would prohibit the landing of the small Curtiss biplane. Spying the aircraft at 1,200 feet they concluded the pilot “would never attempt the landing.” Then the aviator descended to about 400 feet and flew past an observing admiral’s flagship, tipping his wings in salute. The airplane turned and headed toward the Pennsylvania. The disbelieving spotters assumed the pilot would “sheer off after one or two circles.” As one newspaper later reported, “nobody thought for an instant that he would attempt to land.” It was 18 January 1911.

The wind from the starboard, pilot Eugene Ely reported, “swung me wide of the landing platform, and it was not until I was within 30 yards of the vessel that I straightened out.” His direct-in approach brought him squarely to the platform, over which he traveled about 20 feet before touching down.

Ely, 26, thus became the first man to land an airplane on the deck of a warship. Italian and French aviators had made similar attempts without success. Ely crowed that he was proud of the feat because “it reflects credit on my own country,” adding that “it was my chief desire that the United States should win over all other nations in this particular piece of aviating work.”

What Goes Up . . .

Quote:MULDER: All this conjecture - the "ontological shock" that you speak of, for which we are so ill-equipped - is not only false but dangerous. This woman ... this woman presents no good or credible testimony apart from the feel-good message that she promotes.

FAZIO: You think she's lying?

MULDER: No, I don't think she's lying. I think that if you prepare people well enough to believe a lie, they will believe it as if it were true. And if you tell them a really big lie, like there are aliens from outer space, much more than a small one, they will believe in it. And if you suggest to them these aliens are doing bad things to them, the ... the power of the suggestion will be to make people believe that certain psychopathologies and neuroses that they're suffering from can now be attributed to that.

LAGERQVIST: Mr. Mulder ... Agent Mulder, she has physical ailments.

WOMAN: Are you discounting any belief in the existence of extraterrestrials?

MULDER: No. I just question mindless belief.

FAZIO: But you've cited evidence. You've made claims yourself.

MULDER: What I've seen, I've seen because I wanted to believe. I ... if you look too hard, you can go mad, but if you continue to look, you become liberated. And you become awake, as if from a dream, realizing that ... that the lies are there simply to protect what they're advertising: a government which knows its greatest strength is not in defense, but in attack. It's strongly held by believers in UFO phenomena that there is military complicity or involvement in abductions, but what if there is no complicity? What if there is simply just the military, seeking to develop an arsenal against which there is no defense: biological warfare, which justifies - in their eyes - making an ass out of the nation with stories of little green men - a conspiracy wrapped in a plot inside a government agenda.

[Several people shake their heads in disbelief. Later, when the conference is over, Mulder goes to leave. But a man in the audience catches his eye - his regression hypnotherapist, DR. HEITZ WERBER.]

Quote:Europe doesn't have "a problem". It has THREE problems: 3 European nations are suffering from a severe "post-imperial hangover".

First, there is the United Kingdom, a nation that voted for Brexit to "take back control" only to realize it has completely forgotten how to drive.

The British identity crisis is like watching a retired lion try to adopt a vegan diet. They traded imperial confidence for an HR department’s sensitivity training. The land of Churchill is now governed by a sprawling "nanny state" bureaucracy that is more terrified of offending someone on X than it is of actual decline. The British police, once the envy of the world, now seem to spend more resources investigating "non-crime hate incidents" and painting their patrol cars in rainbow colors than solving burglaries. It is a nation desperately clinging to the aesthetics of tradition—the Royals, the pomp, the tea—while its institutions have been hollowed out by a progressive rot that makes a California university campus look conservative. They want the swagger of the 19th century but are paralyzed by the emotional fragility of the 21st.

Then there is France, the angry, chain-smoking aunt of Europe who refuses to admit she’s been unemployed for decades.

France’s hangover manifests as a permanent state of insurrection masquerading as "civic engagement." Their identity is split between a delusional elite who still think Paris is the capital of the universe and a populace that expresses its "joie de vivre" by burning down bus stops every Thursday. The French suffer from a Napoleonic complex without a Napoleon; they demand the living standards of a conquering empire while working a 35-hour week and retiring at an age when most Americans are just hitting their stride. They preach "Republican values" and aggressive secularism, yet the state has lost control over vast swathes of its own suburbs. France is essentially a beautiful, open-air museum where the curators are on strike, the guards are afraid of the visitors, and the management is busy lecturing the rest of the world on "grandeur" while the electricity bill goes unpaid.

Finally, we have Germany, the neurotic giant that has decided the only way to atone for its history is to commit slow-motion industrial suicide.

Germany’s post-imperial hangover is a moral autoimmune disease: the country is so terrified of its own shadow that it has replaced national pride with aggressive self-flagellation and recycling regulations. Their identity is built on being the "Moral Superpower," which practically translates to shutting down their perfectly functional nuclear power plants to burn dirty coal, all while lecturing their neighbors on carbon footprints. It is a nation of engineers who have engineered a society that doesn't work. The German spirit, once defined by efficiency and discipline, has mutated into a paralyzed bureaucracy where filling out the correct form is more important than the outcome. They are so desperate to avoid being "threatening" that they’ve become essentially a large NGO with an army that has broomsticks for rifles, terrified that showing any backbone might be interpreted as a relapse.

Quote:And that’s why you have Donald Trump strutting around the world stage playing the villain. Rambling about Greenland and asylums and peace prizes, precisely so the public will boo and hiss while chosen leaders for the globalist future can appear calm and articulate in their opposition.

It’s been a predictable for a long while, but 2026 may be the year the USA officially becomes “the bad guy”, a paper dragon for our globalist heroes to slay.

The old (imaginary) “rules-based international order” will collapse, and we will build back better.

2026 – The Year US Hegemony Ends?

Quote:Europe in the Age of Absolutism: a continent ruled over by emperors and kings, princes and dukes. Among them, the Princes of Liechtenstein, blessed with extreme wealth, but lacking the right to vote at the Imperial Diet, the deliberative body of the Holy Roman Empire. Although Emperor Ferdinand II (1587-1637) had elevated Prince Karl von Liechtenstein to the rank of Imperial Prince in 1620, the privilege of representation at the Imperial Diet was reserved for those in possession of territory classed as 'immediate' to the Empire (i.e. self-governing under the Emperor). However, the sundry estates held by the Princely House in Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Austria were not subject to the Emperor's jurisdiction, but formed part of the Habsburg kingdom instead.

Purchase of the lordship of Schellenberg

The 17th century was one of the most difficult periods in the history of what was to become the Principality of Liechtenstein. The spread of the plague claimed many lives, the Thirty Years' War brought famine, and more than three hundred people were condemned to death and executed during witch-hunts.

At that time, the lands in question were ruled over by the counts of Hohenems, whose actions hastened the area's economic decline. Writing in the 19th century, historian Peter Kaiser described the despotic rule of Count Ferdinand Carl von Hohenems as follows:

"With a propensity for profligacy, tyranny and violence, he showed scant regard for the law, preferring to follow the moods of his impetuous and passionate temperament."

1719: Schellenberg and Vaduz unite to form a Principality

Following its purchase of the lordship of Schellenberg and the county of Vaduz, the Princely House of Liechtenstein possessed two small territories with imperial immediacy. Nevertheless, it took another few years before they were united. The main reason was a change of ownership within the House of Liechtenstein: Prince Joseph Wenzel, who had inherited Schellenberg and Vaduz while still a minor, was given the lordship of Rumburg in exchange, and Prince Anton Florian became the owner of the landed estates acquired from the nobility of Hohenems. This change of hands led to another ceremony of homage on 5 September 1718 – and yet again the Prince failed to attend.

How the Principality of Liechtenstein came into being

Quote:Hans-Adam II and his fad for UFOs: the ruler of Liechtenstein funds research on extraterrestrials.

In this time of coronavirus, some Liechtensteinians must be wondering what their sovereign is thinking at the moment. Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, still Head of State of the Principality even though his son has been regent since 2004, most certainly has his own theory on the matter. Are we being experimented on by extraterrestrials? Few people know it, but Prince Hans-Adam II is a ufology enthusiast, convinced of having witnessed the passage of a flying saucer when he was little. The richest ruler on the European continent has funded (and perhaps still funds) international UFO research.

It is the French ufologist and computer scientist Jacques Vallée who recounts in detail in his memoirs his meeting with the sovereign, who lives in Vienna today, since his son, the hereditary prince Aloïs has assumed the functions of regent, and this since 2004.

Jacques Vallée recounts precisely in one of his many logbooks, which he kept in the 80s and 90s, one or other meetings with the Prince, who had invited him to the castle of Vaduz. “As soon as we arrived, there were people to welcome us. Prince Hans-Adam appeared wearing an open blue shirt and beige pants. We had lunch in the small dining room with the family: the prince's wife, his sister, two of his children. Coffee was served in a lounge. The conversation on various paranormal topics began over lunch and continued late into the afternoon ,” reads his diary for Saturday, November 4, 1989. This diary, in which the Prince is mentioned, is titled Forbidden Science 3: The Trail of Hidden Truth.

Jacques Vallée knows Prince Hans-Adam well, and he also knows several anecdotes about him. The first concerns the first time the Prince was confronted with the supernatural. It was another ufologist, Dick Haines, who told Jacques Vallée what his friend Hans-Adam had told him. Still a child, Hans-Adam would have seen a flying saucer land in the gardens of the castle of Vaduz, then he would have left and would have flown away towards Switzerland.

Since then, Prince Hans-Adam has been fascinated by extraterrestrial life and is convinced of what he has seen. He would have confided to Jacques Vallée himself, that one of his aunts also witnessed the appearance of a UFO in Munich in the 1950s. Finally, another cousin also reported to the Prince having seen a UFO, if we are to believe the memoirs of the computer scientist, written in 1989. Jacques Vallée transcribed with precision other remarks made by the prince concerning a secret intelligence: "It is as if humanity periodically rose towards a peak of enlightenment and wisdom, then fell back into bloody wars and anarchy ,” Hans-Adam is said to have explained during Jacques Vallée’s stay in Vaduz.

Jacques Vallée also reports that Prince Hans-Adam is close to Robert Bigelow. Robert Bigelow, 75, is an aerospace entrepreneur. The Prince of Liechtenstein would have used his services and through him would have ordered "a study of 200,000 dollars to determine how many Americans had been abducted by extraterrestrials" , can be read on Swiss Info.

According to Jacques Vallée, if one reads his logbooks, the goal of Prince Hans-Adam is in particular to “Finding new sources of energy and propulsion. The prince therefore believes that UFOs come from distant planets and are controlled by technologically very advanced extraterrestrials."

These beliefs are obviously very embarrassing for Prince Hans-Adam, as the princely family is extremely Catholic. However, Jacques Vallée goes so far as to quote in his logbook the almost conspiratorial remarks of the prince: “There is an extraterrestrial power which monitors and controls the efforts of humanity to conquer space. (…) A race of genetically degenerate extraterrestrials visits the Earth to abduct healthy humans to be able to heal themselves”.

Several international studies or research are presumed to have been partly funded by the Prince. Testimonies from ufologists, scientists, anonymous people, and sometimes eccentrics, make it possible to go back to the supposed financing of Prince Hans-Adam. Thus, Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein would be one of the patrons of the Recollections of Roswell project.

Histoires Royales

Quote:Starting in January 1997, Colonel Alexander became a key and influential force on Coast to Coast AM, largely because of his INSCOM background that revolved around psi and remote viewing research. Also guests financed and affiliated with apparent Opus Dei intimate Prince Hans Adam II von Liechtenstein, a relative of Otto von Habsburg, were invited to Coast to Coast AM, most notably alien abduction researcher Budd Hopkins, whose "Intruders" Foundation and related projects appear to have been financed by both Hans Adam and Robert Bigelow. Unsurprisingly, Colonel Alexander and General Bert Stubblebine were friendly with Hans Adam (not to mention Bigelow), no later than the early 1990s, before any of them had ever appeared on Coast to Coast.

Quote:What makes a good missionary makes a good spy. Or so thought “Wild” Bill Donovan when he launched a secret new program under the Office of Strategic Services. His recruits, in turn, believed an American victory would help them protect their foreign ministries and expand the kingdom of God.

In Double Crossed, historian Matthew Avery Sutton tells the extraordinary story of the entwined roles of spycraft and faith in World War II. Sutton shows how missionaries, though acutely aware of the conflict between their faith and their role as secret agents, nonetheless played an outsize part in the war, carrying out bombings and assassinations. After securing victory, those who survived helped establish the CIA, ensuring that religion continued to influence American foreign policy.
