Hold onto your tinfoil hat as we embark on an extravagant survey of the possibilities of what is being covered up by the UFO-Virus-A.I. Industrial Complex.
I too look out my kitchen window (!) on my Aussie farm and marvel at the variety of birds coming to chow down on the chook food leftovers.
But the headline this autumn are the 2 or 3 wombats who live under my house that all got the ‘mange’, a terrible mite infestation that eats them alive from the outside inwards. My nearest country town has local ‘Wildcare’ volunteers who kindly gave me the gear and the miticide to help them heal.
So now I find myself looking out the window at dusk (wombats are nocturnal) for any Sniffy family member having their big drink of water. (laced with a homeopathic remedy) I then slither out the door, grab my 10 ft extension pole with a cup filled with mite drench and croon my human song of healing as I walk slowly towards my visitor. First round, as the medicine was poured on their backs, they froze and then bolted. But here we are 2 weeks later and they are halfway healed and the 2nd poured dose didn’t faze them at all and as they lumbered off into the gloaming, I felt little flickers of their fuzzy gratitude.
In wonderment at the joy of giving relief from suffering.
so happy to hear this. it's amazing they allow this and pick up the fact that the treatment got the result.
And thanks for allowing the wombats to live under your house.
Around here I am pretty sure the coyotes seek shelter in the abandoned barn across the road...along with the barn swallows...it's still chilly but out of the wind, rain and snow...
Eric Francis, you said you don’t hear from many of your listeners/subscribers. I am guilty.
I’m so engrossed in your Substack posts that I often forget to comment. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your musings, research, practicalities music choices and rabbit holes on a variety of current topics. Thank you for that. You and Susan Hopkinson are my two favorite neighborhood astrologers.
Carry on….., Deborah ☮️
Also love to hear about your critter and bird experiences.
very nice thank you. among astrologers, I am happy to have any friend I can get. I am not the flavor of the month, so it's nice to hear I have some advocates out there.
What he said to the reporter on 60 Minutes. I didn't repost the video because it was disgraceful how he spoke to the woman. “I am not a rapist, I am not a pedophile!” He was not exonerated.
Yeah, disgusting about David Morens being "busted" for "covering up" the official "COVID" fraud narrative's "bio weapon" version. And also disgusting that so many "freedom" people are still grasping on to this fraud, much of this due to loyalty to RFK Jr and his cohorts.
IMHO, Cole Allen was "encouraged" to pursue an assassination attempt, was set up, allowed to register in the hotel where the event took place even after posting threatening messages on social media,...... Shades of Butler.
In the absence of evidence, i remain unconvinced about anti-gravity (vs anti-matter), and about free energy, the supposed miracle source of infinite energy which solves all of our energy problems which is locked up in secret vaults. People who claim it in general have not been able to explain to me what it even is.
Our whole approach is inverted and profit driven. The physics of an internal combustion engine are not so different from a barbecue: heat is produced by combustion, but harnessed differently. Still at the core is the same concept: oxidation of carbon.
The problem with being unconvinced is endemic: one or two years before the Wrights (bicycle men) got their airplane up, there was an impressive list of people saying it would be impossible, including Lord Kelvin.
The entire story of technology is doing the "impossible" and if you ask me, the microprocessor, RAM and SSD in this old (souped up) Mac I'm typing on is pretty darned ridiculous. This computer would have required a warehouse 70 years ago, and 10,000 miles of tape drive.
Wright's flight was after similar experiments by Santos-Dumont in Brazil. Planes do not violate the laws of physics. I have no idea what's "impossible" about " the microprocessor, RAM and SSD" in the Mac. There is nothing miraculous about today's computers relative to 50 or 60 years ago, i have an intro to the New York Daily News yearly Almanac for 1968, written obviously in 1967, it was the 100th anniversary edition, the intro being "The Next 100 Years," by Isaac Asimov. He called it well, even if the changes have taken less time than originally estimated.
All you've done is extrapolate from one field of science to another. You haven't explained free energy. Nor have you explained anti gravity, which again is a very different matter from anti-matter, and does NOT result from it, as experiments show gravity works the same way on particles and their related anti particles.
I am not saying that these things are possible; that was not the point of my show. The point of my show was to offer possibilities for what might be covered up. And the potential for concealment implies that there is something that most human technologists have never considered, including alien technology.
That said, we seem to keep coming back to the barbecue and we have not read Tesla's notebooks. I do not accept "impossible." I do not accept that things I cannot explain, whether they have happened yet or not, are impossible. Finally, there are at least three major "laws of physics" -- Newton, Einstein and Quantum, and there is a lot that cannot be explained.
Nobody really has a good explanation for magnetism or gravity; curved space does not account for me dropping a rock. We merely live with these things. Nobody has a good explanation for how the carbon and water in my body and adipose tissue in my brain can create a poem.
Still looking for an explanation of what "free energy" is, and an explanation of what "anti-gravity" is and how it relates to motion.
There are lots of people (i know a bunch) who think the powers are holding these miracles away from us when they can be used to provide infinite energy and avoid needing to face a world in which energy sources and raw materials, including the materials needed for energy generation, are running out. Such hopes are fed by those who assert these energy sources are real.
Is flat earth possible? Is it possible that WTC7 and the Twin Towers came down for some reason other than explosions, indeed because of the two plane impacts? Noam Chomsky tried to use quantum theory to explain it, as if quantum theory applies at a level larger than the sub-atomic. Is it possible that a large plane, specifically a 757, hit the Pentagon on 9/11?
Without having access to the craft and bodies, how would we know? What if the air force had simply created a disinformation file to throw people off? Did the Buffalo professor actually read and understand the file? Did he see craft and bodies?
Anti-gravity was a concept created out of the discovery of anti-matter, since many of the researchers assumed that anti particles react in opposite ways to gravity than their companion particles (e;g; electrons and positrons). But in fact, experiments have demonstrated that they don't, they react the same way to gravity. And what is gravity?(EDIT: i meant what is "free energy"?)
About the missing scientists. Good work, Eric, re the stats for deaths which would result over four years out of a group of 700,000 people with security clearances, just due to the death rate, namely 21,000 people, a lot more than 13.
Fact-checking claims about missing, dead scientists: Were they researching UFOs, nuclear weapons?
Apr 29, 2026
Social media users are posting about people who died or disappeared, claiming they are all scientists who knew secrets about nuclear research and unidentified flying objects.
They theorize that what happened to these people, who have died or disappeared since 2021, is concerted and not a coincidence. .....
Discussion about the scientists isn’t limited to social media. The FBI and the House Oversight Committee said they are investigating any potential connections among the missing and dead scientists and whether a national security threat exists. NASA, where several of the people were employed, said it is working with the relevant agencies.
President Donald Trump told reporters April 16 that he had a meeting on the topic and "we’re gonna look at it over the next short period."
We tracked 14 names that have surfaced in these posts. We examined their backgrounds and the circumstances of their deaths or disappearances, and *some of the claims about potential connections among them don’t hold up*. We also found that *they were not all scientists.*
Here’s what’s been said and what we know.
The people did not all work together
Some social media posts claimed the people were professionally affiliated. An April 8 X post said, "Nearly all of them worked together — and died or vanished within the last two years."
That’s overstated. *We found no evidence that "nearly all" were colleagues.*
These are their past employers and dates of death or disappearance:
NASA
• Michael David Hicks, died in July 2023.
• Frank Maiwald, died in July 2024.
• Monica Reza, disappeared in June 2025.
• Joshua LeBlanc, died in July 2025.
Los Alamos National Laboratory
• Anthony Chavez, disappeared in May 2025.
• Melissa Casias, disappeared in June 2025.
U.S. Air Force
• William McCasland, disappeared in February.
• Matthew Sullivan, died in 2024.
Other employers
• Steven Garcia, disappeared in August 2025; worked at the Kansas City National Security Campus.
• Carl Grillmair, died in February; worked at the California Institute of Technology and collaborated with NASA.
• Jason Thomas, disappeared in December 2025, found dead in March; worked at Novartis.
• Nuno Loureiro, died in December 2025; worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
• Amy Eskridge, died June 2022; founded the Institute for Exotic Science.
• Ning Li, died in 2021; worked at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, founded AC Gravity.
Unclear whether any of the people worked on classified nuclear or UFO programs
Some social media users claimed the people were targeted for their access to secret programs involving space and nuclear research. But that’s unsupported.
Some of the people studied nuclear science but it’s unclear whether they were involved in classified programs; others worked at nuclear research facilities but not in scientific roles.
Here’s what we know about their professional backgrounds:
Of the group who worked at NASA, Hicks studied comets and asteroids. Maiwald worked on microwave radiometry and Earth science missions. Reza specialized in rocket materials. LeBlanc was an electrical engineer.
Those who worked at Los Alamos, a nuclear research facility, did not appear to have scientific roles. Casias worked as an administrative assistant, and Chavez as a construction foreman, USA Today reported.

Of the two affiliated with the U.S. Air Force, McCasland and Sullivan, McCasland’s wife wrote in a Facebook post that he "had access to some highly classified programs and information," but he retired from the Air Force almost 13 years ago. "It seems quite unlikely that he was taken to extract very dated secrets from him," she said.
She also said McCasland had a "brief association with the UFO community," when he worked as a consultant for a fiction book.
Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., said Sullivan died before testifying in a federal whistleblower case on UFOs.
The others who worked at different institutions included Garcia, who was a government contractor and property custodian at the Kansas City National Security Campus, which develops nonnuclear components for nuclear weapons. The Hill reported that he had top security clearance at the facility. Grillmair, the astrophysicist, studied dark matter, Galactic structure, stellar populations and exoplanets, according to his CalTech page.
Thomas worked on chemical biology. Loureiro was a professor of nuclear science and engineering and of physics at MIT. Li and Eskridge studied anti-gravity.
the theory that I did not elaborate on was that on this list, there are one or two murders and the rest is smoke and dust to conceal them. The false pattern is being used to conceal several individual cases.
also - merely from a missing persons standpoint, the retired general and the person who vanished from a national park without a trace are pretty strange. We may presume that a retired general with a weapon would need to be outgunned and would not go down easily.
I adore your April Fools editions!
Critter continuity.....
I too look out my kitchen window (!) on my Aussie farm and marvel at the variety of birds coming to chow down on the chook food leftovers.
But the headline this autumn are the 2 or 3 wombats who live under my house that all got the ‘mange’, a terrible mite infestation that eats them alive from the outside inwards. My nearest country town has local ‘Wildcare’ volunteers who kindly gave me the gear and the miticide to help them heal.
So now I find myself looking out the window at dusk (wombats are nocturnal) for any Sniffy family member having their big drink of water. (laced with a homeopathic remedy) I then slither out the door, grab my 10 ft extension pole with a cup filled with mite drench and croon my human song of healing as I walk slowly towards my visitor. First round, as the medicine was poured on their backs, they froze and then bolted. But here we are 2 weeks later and they are halfway healed and the 2nd poured dose didn’t faze them at all and as they lumbered off into the gloaming, I felt little flickers of their fuzzy gratitude.
In wonderment at the joy of giving relief from suffering.

thanks for peeping up and lovely to meet you Deborah. Your name is familiar...I wrote to Susan Hopkinson just now and said hello...
I recently subscribed to your podcast and have commented a few times. You have a great vocabulary also. I was a
speech /language pathologist. A musician that loves all genres of
music, who appreciates your choices. I heard about you through Susan.
very nice thank you. among astrologers, I am happy to have any friend I can get. I am not the flavor of the month, so it's nice to hear I have some advocates out there.
Here is an MIT Technology Review summary of the Musk vs Altman trial, I think nicely done, but I was not there.

here is the civil complaint
https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/musk-v-altman-openai-complaint-sf.pdf
My Facebook account is restricted for three months because I quoted the president. There is no option for an appeal.
EH? Quoted him about what?
What he said to the reporter on 60 Minutes. I didn't repost the video because it was disgraceful how he spoke to the woman. “I am not a rapist, I am not a pedophile!” He was not exonerated.
Because you reported something which was said on mainstream media? That's gotta be illegal!!
Haha! It's so weird! Like they know what is coming…
Never worn makeup at all! The only day I did was my wedding day and then I felt like a painted doll.
More consideration with skin care overall.
Yeah, disgusting about David Morens being "busted" for "covering up" the official "COVID" fraud narrative's "bio weapon" version. And also disgusting that so many "freedom" people are still grasping on to this fraud, much of this due to loyalty to RFK Jr and his cohorts.
