Are UFOs matrix-shaping machines responsible for simulating reality itself? Do they exist outside the “cave” of our epistemological filters? Philosopher James Madden argues that the UFO mystery reveals a deeper truth: humanity is trapped inside a kind of Plato’s Cave, manipulated by “guardian” forces (possibly non-human) that use belief, disinformation, and performance to shape our reality. Drawing on Plato, Heidegger and Cold War psyops, Madden shows how the phenomenon points to a deeper truth unfathomable to those inside the cave but available to those seeking the light.

Join us for a special episode with former presidential advisor Harald Malmgren.A 27 year old Harald Malmgren literally saved the world from nuclear catastrophe during The Cuban Missile Crisis when Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and President JFK asked him to “buy time for diplomacy” by facing off against General Curtis “Bombs Away” LeMay. Malmgren, the youngest of the “whiz kids”, went on to become a presidential advisor not just to JFK, but LBJ, Nixon and Ford. He had a personal relationship with Putin and advised every Japanese Prime Minister since Tanaka in the 70’s, Giscard d’Estaing, Pompidou and others. He was assigned to “contain” Kissinger and worked closely with Howard Baker, George Schulz, Volcker and Mondale not to mention Nobel Prize winners Tom Schelling and Sir John Hicks. Unusually, he had ALL the so called Q Clearances. His credentials are unimpeachable. Harald is a hero who saved the world (and more than once). There was more he held back and that he took to his grave. He was an angel amongst devils and his legacy should make all world leaders think twice, reflect and “lower the temperature” on the world stage when contemplating brinksmanship. We barely scratched the surface on what he likely had to say and will have to mull this over for years. But it’s a quantum leap forward for disclosure and simply can’t be ignored by members of the mainstream media. We are extremely grateful to Harald’s incredible daughter Pippa Malmgren for co-hosting this discussion. She was Special Assistant to President Bush and a member of The National Economic Council and a very heterodox thinker in her own right. She teased the truth from her father and helped him come forward with his critically important insights. She set the whole discussion up and we’re forever indebted for her entrusting us to help tell Harald’s story. She said that Bissell told my Dad - “because you’ll need to pass it along in the future at the right time”. At 89, she knew her father in turn had to relay this vital information, this time, on a broader stage as our multipolar nuclear world remains stuck in old paradigms. Australian Intelligence Analyst Geoffrey Cruikshank, who has gone deeper than anyone in the world on analyzing the Bluegill Triple Prime Test UFO incident, also conferred with Harald Malmgren to confirm the veracity of his foundational research. His research was essential to this piece. Rest in peace Harald Bernard Malmgren (July 13th 1935 - February 13th 2025).--------------------------***JOIN OUR WHOP (Exclusive Episodes & Group Calls) ➤ http://whop.com/jessemichels***Become a Member of American Alchemy:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuG2KzrIMe3qoNcuDVpwnXw/join Learn more about your ad choices.

Was Henry Kissinger overseeing a UFO crash retrieval program? This episode lays out one of the most compelling cases yet. From Nazi tech recovery as a young army CIC member to Project Moon Dust to deep Harvard intelligence ties to the controversial MJ-12 documents (which likely contain half-truths), there is building evidence suggesting Kissinger may have played a hidden role in managing non-human technology. We follow a trail that includes atomic testing, psychological warfare, and Cold War secrecy—ending with a government telegram from Kissinger himself, asking about “returned space objects.” If true, this reshapes everything we thought we knew about the UFO cover-up.--------------------------Please considering supporting our show by checking out our sponsors below: Ground News ➤ Go to https://ground.news/jessemichels to uncover the truth behind the headlines.
