An Insider’s View of UFO/UAP Disclosure with Jim Semivan Jim Semivan — co-founder and Vice President of Operations for To The Stars and a 25-year veteran of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service — shares his rare vantage point on UFO/UAP disclosure. Speaking with Jeffrey Mishlove, Semivan reflects on his own extraordinary encounters, his cautious stance on full disclosure, and the delicate interplay between national security, public perception, and non-human intelligence. He discusses his early involvement with To The Stars alongside Tom DeLonge, Hal Puthoff, Lou Elizondo, Chris Mellon, and others, and explains why societal readiness, narrative control, and psychological impact remain key concerns in how — and whether — disclosure unfolds. The conversation also delves into Semivan’s support for experiencers such as Chris Bledsoe, the possible interconnectedness of UFO phenomena with parapsychology, and the enduring “trickster” element behind the mystery.

The Role of Politics on New Thinking Allowed with Emmy Vadnais and Jeffrey Mishlove The focus of the New Thinking Allowed YouTube channel follows the pattern established in the original Thinking Allowed television series: philosophy, psychology, health, science, and spirituality – with an emphasis on parapsychology and the paranormal. Throughout our history, going back to 1986, we have almost entirely avoided discussions of current events and, particularly, politics. However, we are living at an unusual historical moment. Society is changing rapidly. Old norms are breaking down. In this open-ended discussion, Emmy and Jeff address questions concerning healthcare and the environment, as well as the distinctions between democratic and authoritarian governments. One concern is political hostility and polarization. Emmy and Jeff question whether remaining silent during this troubling period is a form of complicity. Furthermore, what are the political implications of nonlocal consciousness and quantum interconnectedness?
