    Project Pegasus | The CIA's Child Time Soldiers

    In 1968, six-year-old Andrew Basiago stepped through Tesla's teleportation device and emerged at Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863. He was part of Project Pegasus, DARPA's classified program using technology reverse-engineered from Tesla's confiscated research. The program began after Sputnik shocked America into creating DARPA to prevent technological surprises. When scientists rediscovered Tesla's stolen files, they found blueprints for a teleportation machine that could bend space and time using zero-point energy. Adult test subjects either vanished, aged rapidly, or arrived in pieces across different moments. Only children's flexible minds could handle temporal displacement, so DARPA recruited 140 young "chrononauts" for missions throughout history. By 1980, the technology evolved to transport people to Mars, where Basiago claims he served alongside Barry Soetoro - later known as Barack Obama. But the program unlocked more than time travel - it opened doorways to infinite parallel realities that the government desperately tries to keep hidden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCjo9KBpK9I SOURCES & LINKS Tesla's Stolen Tech and the New Arms Race:  • Weather Weapons & Worse | Tesla's Stolen T...  The Most Destructive Weapon Tesla Ever Made:   • The Most Destructive Weapon Tesla Ever Made  Free Energy & Anti-Gravity Cover-Ups:   • Killer Patents & Secret Science Vol. 1 | F...  Chronovisor: The Vatican's Secret Device to See Through Time • Chronovisor: The Vatican's Secret Device t...

    Synchronicities | The Science Behind Your Meaningful Coincidences (STRIPPED)

    Ever think about someone you haven't spoken to in years, then they call you? You're not imagining things. Carl Jung called these meaningful coincidences "synchronicities," and believed they reveal something profound about reality itself. The universe isn't random chaos—it's an organized, responsive system that actually listens to human consciousness. From CIA experiments with psychic spies to ancient traditions that taught reality-bending techniques, the evidence suggests our thoughts influence the physical world in ways science is just beginning to understand. Twin boys separated at birth who lived identical lives, a balloon that traveled 140 miles to find another girl with the same name, and quantum physics experiments that prove consciousness affects matter. These aren't just stories. They're glimpses into how reality really works - and how you can learn to influence it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpxLpEzJpAs SOURCES & LINKS    • Project: STARGATE.

    Planet Maldek | The Classified Truth About Mars' Origin (STRIPPED)

    Evidence suggests a massive world called Maldek once existed between Mars and Jupiter. This planet had a large moon that orbited it for millions of years—a moon with oceans, atmosphere, and possibly even life. When Maldek was destroyed in an ancient catastrophe, its moon was hurled into a new orbit around the sun. Today, we call that moon Mars. This explains Mars' strange features: why half the planet looks completely different from the other half, why it has tidal bulges like a moon, and why nuclear isotopes in the soil match signatures from atomic weapons. The same pattern of destruction that claimed Mars and Venus may be heading for Earth. Government scientists have hidden the evidence for decades. But the truth is written in planetary scars, ancient monuments, and mathematical patterns that reveal the violent history of our solar system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5ZaamPJd5U SOURCES & LINKS Alien Artifacts on Mars: What NASA doesn't want you to know:    • Alien Artifacts on Mars: What NASA doesn't...  Project Redsun: NASA's Secret Manned Missions to Mars:    • Project Redsun: NASA's Secret Manned Missi...  Project: STARGATE.

    The Awakening of Human Consciousness | Forbidden Fungus (STRIPPED)

    Something extraordinary happened to the human brain 100,000 years ago. In just a few thousand generations, our brains nearly doubled in size - a change that should have taken millions of years. Scientists couldn't explain it until Terence McKenna proposed a radical theory. He believed early humans transformed into conscious beings not through fire or tools, but through eating a forbidden fungus growing in animal dung across Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeF3n-1sPJY

    Dark Oxygen | CIA Deep Sea Secret Could Trigger the Next Extinction Event (STRIPPED)

    Two miles below the Pacific Ocean, scientists have discovered something impossible: rocks that generate electricity and produce oxygen without sunlight. These ancient metallic "batteries" could be the original source of Earth's oxygen - before plants or algae existed. The CIA has known about these rocks since the 1960s, keeping their true potential classified for decades. The discovery dramatically expands where alien life might exist, from billions of possibilities to trillions. These seafloor nodules host thousands of newly discovered species that evolved to harness electricity directly. But now, deep-sea mining threatens to destroy in days what took millions of years to form. Dark Oxygen forces us to reconsider our understanding of life on Earth and beyond. Could disrupting this hidden electrical network trigger the next mass extinction? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifWU7TmehCg

    The Midnight Game | When Ancient Shadows Come To Play (STRIPPED)

    The Midnight Game begins with a drop of blood, a candle, and 22 knocks at the stroke of midnight. What follows is an ancient pagan ritual reborn in the digital age – a deadly game of hide and seek with a shadow entity known as the Midnight Man. From its origins as punishment to its spread across college campuses worldwide, this ritual has left countless participants traumatized by what they've encountered. The rules are simple: maintain your candlelight and avoid the Midnight Man until 3:33 AM. Victims report seeing the same entity – a tall, thin shadow with unnatural movements and conscious intent. The Midnight Man isn't alone, however, but part of a global phenomenon of shadow beings that appear consistently across cultures throughout human history. Scientists and paranormal researchers alike have documented strange occurrences during ritual attempts, from sudden temperature drops to inexplicable equipment failures. The Midnight Man waits in the darkness between worlds, just a ritual away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1jSDHxUmMM&t=268s SOURCES & LINKS Shadow People and The Hat Man:    • Shadow People and The Hat Man | Who a...  Who are The Dark Watchers?    • Who are The Dark Watchers?

    Earth's Mantis Overlords | They've Been Here all Along (STRIPPED)

    What would you do if you felt eyes watching you, turned around, and saw a seven-foot insect-like creature? Since 2006, people fishing along the Musconetcong River in New Jersey have reported encounters with exactly that – a being that looks like a humanoid praying mantis. These aren't just sightings – witnesses report telepathic contact and the sensation of having their memories extracted. The encounters follow a consistent pattern: electronics malfunction, forests go silent, and witnesses experience a strange humming vibration. What's even more compelling is that mantis beings appear in ancient artwork worldwide, from 8,000-year-old cave paintings to Egyptian texts. Are these interdimensional entities that have been watching humanity since the beginning of civilization? We examine the theories – from evolved Earth insects to extraterrestrial visitors – and the strange possibility that these beings might be using the fault lines along the Musconetcong River as a doorway between worlds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve-XooFp9-A&t=1296s Sources: Devil’s Den UFO Encounter, Terry Lovelace:    • Alien Implants Vol. 1: Devil’s Den UF...  The UFO Incident That Shocked Ariel School:    • The UFO Incident That Shocked Ariel S...  Shadow People and The Hat Man:    • Shadow People and The Hat Man | Who a...  Liminal Spaces: The Reality In-between:    • An Empty World, A Time Traveler, Anot...

    Proving Atlantis | The Megalithic Yard Mystery (STRIPPED)

    Thousands of years ago, ancient cultures across Europe built massive stone structures with extraordinary precision. Scottish engineer Alexander Thom discovered these sites all used the same exact unit of measurement: 2.72 feet, which he called the Megalithic Yard. This measurement appeared everywhere, from Stonehenge to the Scottish Isles, at sites separated by thousands of miles and built across thousands of years. These structures weren't just monuments - they were sophisticated machines that tracked celestial movements with astonishing accuracy. How did ancient people without writing or advanced tools achieve such mathematical precision? Why does this measurement connect to fundamental constants of the universe? And most puzzling: why did they suddenly stop building these structures? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B70KYVTJ1is&t=125s Sources: Bright Insight: You Won’t Believe This Disturbing Gobekli Tepe Update    • You Won’t Believe This Disturbing Gob...  Bright Insight: The Gobekli Tepe “Situation” is WORSE Than I Thought    • The Gobekli Tepe “Situation” is WORSE...  Atlantis Rises, Lemuria Falls: The War that Sank a Continent    • Atlantis Rises, Lemuria Falls: The Wa...
