Today MindMatters welcomes back John Carter to talk Cixin Liu's Three-Body Problem, science fiction in general, and to compare NHI theories. Do UAP represent extraterrestrials putting on a show to appear more advanced than actually are? Or super-advanced ultraterrestrials who may have their own weaknesses? What is the possible connection between tech and psi? And would humanity actually unite in the case of an ET threat, as Ronald Reagan so endearingly believed? Running Time: 01:56:57...

Rumors are swirling this week that Trump and Netanyahu 'aren't friends anymore', and that the breakdown in their relationship portends divergence in US-Israeli policy in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Trump has suddenly declared an end to the US military bombing of Yemen, just as yet another US fighter jet 'falls off' the USS Truman. And US and Iranian officials are again meeting in Oman to 'further discuss a (new) nuclear deal'. The 'wee war' between India and Pakistan appears have ended, for...

Trump's joke about being made the next pope hasn't gone down too well with Catholics, but it's his big policy ideas that are really falling flat - especially his 'Liberation Day' tariffs and his 'peace pressure' against Putin to end Russia's war in Ukraine. His Ukraine 'minerals deal' essentially rehashes the NeoCons' 'Iraq reconstruction deal' that did NOT rebuild that country and instead enriched American contractors, while his failure to 'annihilate' the Houthis' military capability...

Joshua Cutchin is one of the most interesting thinkers on the paranormal alive. He is the author of 8 classic books on the subject, including highly focused investigations into the role of food in paranormal encounters, paranormal odors, and child abduction in folklore and contemporary culture. He has also produced wide-ranging analyses on Bigfoot, widening the conceptual aperture to include paranormal features ignored by many until now, and the relation of death to all things paranormal....

The 'random' terror attack in disputed Kashmir last week has apparently brought the two nuclear-armed powers of India and Pakistan to the brink of war. It probably won't come to anything serious, but this isn't the first time a major international incident has been sparked by a 'previously-unknown terror group in Pakistan'. Meanwhile, in neighboring Iran, a gargantuan explosion at its largest port has gone largely unreported in the media - an explosion that looks remarkably similar to the...

Turns out, out-competing China is the reason for Trump's "return to 19th-century tariffs." But as we've been seeing, Trump "flinched" when the US bond market spiked, something he apparently didn't expect to happen. And so now, just a couple of weeks after the introduction of tariffs, the US government is "pausing" the tariffs - and even exempting from tariffs the bulk of key imports the US depends on from China. Still, American rhetoric about "beating China" is picking up steam, and sounding...

What's Trump's plan? HAS Trump got a plan?! He promised American voters "a golden age," so ending globalization is presumably necessary to achieve that, but what if his new tariffs regime opens Pandora's box? Running Time: 01:44:13 Download: MP3 — 95.4 MB

At long last, 'all remaining JFK Files' are being released, but IS it all of them, what do they reveal, and do they tell us who killed JFK, and why? The assassinations of both Kennedys have long since been thoroughly investigated and analyzed, to the point that it is no longer contentious to state that they were killed by a clique of operators from within 'the intelligence community'. The only remaining contention is whether operators from the Israeli regime were a.) involved, b.) central to...

A rare cosmic alignment between Washington and Moscow means a peace settlement in Ukraine is within reach, but there's a catch: Russia is winning on the battlefield so it wants a real peace deal, not another tricky 'ceasefire'. While saying he wants to "stop all the killing in Ukraine," Trump apparently has no problem using military force to bring Yemen's Houthis to heel. Multiple other Western (and Arabian) leaders have tried bombing them into submission before. What makes Trump think it...

Mayhem in Syria this weekend as hundreds - and possibly thousands - of Alawite Syrians are slaughtered by the new 'diverse, jihad-reformed' Western-backed regime in Damascus. Although the spark was apparently armed resistance by the local population against 'policing' incursions by HTS militia, their brutal response of collective punishment was beyond the pale. Qui bono? The usual suspects. And the prognosis is terrible for the entire East Mediterranean/Levant region. Also in this NewsReal,...
