In 2017, three videos came out of US navy fighter pilots coming in contact with flying objects they couldn’t identify. The pilots couldn’t comprehend how these craft were even flying.

After the release of these videos, UFOs, or UAP- unidentified aerial phenomena- as the government calls them, went from a topic mostly treated as a joke to something the public was being told they needed to take seriously. How did this happen? And what does it have to do with former Blink 182 vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge?

E1: Enema of the Alien State

In the mid-1970s, a man burst onto the evangelical scene with a shocking tale: claiming to be a former witch involved in human sacrifices among elite circles. After converting to Christianity, he toured the nation warning of hidden Satanists and spoke about a secret organization known as the Illuminati. John Todd preached salvation to frightened congregations, urging them to prepare for a world takeover by stockpiling weapons and retreating to remote areas. But John Todd was no saint; he was not the good, honest Christian he claimed to be. He was running from his past. As his influence peaked and his teachings spread through countless tapes, his facade crumbled, and he vanished. Yet, his legacy endured, inspiring acts of extreme violence from Ruby Ridge, Waco, PizzaGate, QAnon right through to the steps of the Capitol on January 6th.
