The Pulse of UFO Twitter (December 2020) Part 1
The month of December has stood witness to a number of stories and events (or lack thereof) which have managed to stir up a whirlwind of debate and discussion within the UFO community. I will be tackling many of these issues in a new series entitled “The Pulse of UFO Twitter.”
While each of these events have been covered to such an extent that just about anyone who has at least a cursory interest in the world of UFOs would know about them, there has not been, in my view, enough attention spent on exploring the different perspectives people have on these issues.
The first piece of UFO-related news I wanted to cover was Mr. Haim Eshed’s claim that there exists a Galactic Federation—a supposed collective of nine different species of extraterrestrials that have apparently traversed the Milky Way galaxy to make a deal with Earth-based governments to run undisclosed tests of some sort.
Documentarian Jeremy Corbell conducted an interview with Israeli journalist Raanan Shaked, who first published the story about Mr. Eshed. Corbell’s impetus for conducting the interview was to clear up statements made by Mr. Eshed that were reportedly taken out of context by the mainstream media.
(For those interested, I posted a Twitter thread that draws out the highlights of the interview if you find the video length is too taxing. Check that out here.)
I also published a piece for The Debrief about where a hypothetical Galactic Federation would be located on the Kardashev scale (ie how advanced they would have to be to reach Earth), and it appears these galaxy-travelers would be Type iii—meaning that they would have the ability to capture and store energy from neighboring stars in order to perpetuate their species. This is a virtually unimaginable feat for human beings in 2020.
Luis Elizondo—former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program—weighed in on the statements made by Mr. Eshed during an interview with Robert Fleischer of ExoMagazin.tv.
This news made a colossal splash in the cultural zeitgeist—so much so that oddballs have started YouTube channels (notice the date of the video) and Twitter accounts claiming to be spokespersons for this Galactic Federation—and I wanted to investigate what others thought about Mr. Eshed’s statements.
With the recent information concerning Mr. Eshed’s claim of a Galactic Federation, some have decided to toss out the entire claim, while others believe there may be something to what he says. What are your thoughts on the matter?
I’m not sold. The Galactic Federation is a Laura Eisenhower styled concept which drags ‘Ufology’ back to the 1990s. -Andreas Freeman Stahl (@AFSUnidentified on Twitter) Check out his website here!
Galactic Federation claims go way back to the contactee movement of the 1950s, and you could make the case they’ve existed throughout history under different labels. The most recognizable reference I can think of is courtesy of L. Ron Hubbard (Xenu was head of a “Galactic Confederacy”). This alone isn’t enough for me to throw out the possibility such a thing exists. If one believes there is more than one group of intelligent entities traversing space (and perhaps even time and/or dimensional boundaries), then it’s not an unreasonable jump to speculate some may be in communication and perhaps even cooperate. I’m a big Star Trek guy so I’m naturally a fan of the concept, and I do wish it were true. But we have no compelling evidence to justify actual knowledge intelligent extraterrestrials exist and are visiting us, let alone a Galactic Federation communicating with the US Government. -Daniel Elizondo (@Omega_Point on Twitter) Check out his blog here!
Many in the UFO community who are working very hard to convince the mainstream that we have something real interfacing with humanity get caught up in the nuts and bolts, concrete aspects of the phenomenon while also admitting there is a non-material aspect. As an experiencer, my perspective is tied closer to the non-physical than physical. Nuts and bolts are fine and dandy, but they will only explain beings or interfaces that are fully within our 3D, 3rd density, 3rd dimension experience. Most of what is popping in and popping out are from other dimensions and frequencies that our minds have a very hard time grasping.
My experience led me to read the Law of One and Edgar Cayce materials. Many in the nuts and bolts community discount or don’t believe in channeled material. It is my perspective that every question asked by materialists is already answered. In the Law of One, it references the duality of perspectives, referred to Light vs Dark, Positive vs Negative. In the higher dimensions and densities of matter, these two aspects, for the most part have moved on. It is in the lower density and dimensional aspects that these two ideologies war and battle each other. They are the 3rd, 4th, and to a lesser degree, 5th and 6th density beings. The main density used for this struggle is the 4th density, our next evolution leap for humanity. It is this density where physicality still exists, but the understanding of the universe has more meaning, and the peoples of different systems don’t fight their own but instead fight between the distinction of Service to Others verses Service to Self. In this Paradigm, Confederations exist between star systems.
Related directly with the topic of the Galactic Federation, I perceive this as a seeding for humanity to be able to draw that aspect of the universe into its reality/paradigm and move away from the persistent imagination of grey, scary aliens as the only ones interfacing with us. What we imagine, we draw into our reality. By having a larger population imagining a Star Trek Galactic Federation, we attract that aspect of the universe into our reality and we can merge with that timeline/frequency and get out of the timeline/frequency that only interfaces with the Greys. We exist in a multiverse and it is our thoughts and beliefs that drive the reality we experience individually and as a collective. -Cynthia Burnett (@BurnettCynthia on Twitter)
From the get-go we knew it was a load of rubbish and the reasons for this are many. You only had to look at how quickly the mainstream media picked up on the story because of its connections with former President Trump. This is the same media that ignored an actual data-led story relating to the phenomena the week before. Also, you have to look at who was (and still is!) promoting the story — Michael Salla, David Wilcock, Corey Goode — all known charlatans and fantasists who charge money for zero evidence claims. The subsequent admission by the journalist who first broke the story, that the Galactic Federation reference came from a video by Laura Eisenhower — a past accomplice of the aforementioned disreputes — came as no surprise given her past claims and only serves to enforce the redundancy of the story. -Shadows Magazine (@shadowsmagazine on Twitter) Check out the website here!
First off. We are all subject to various “filters” and media “middle-persons.” So often times the integrity of context is somewhat compromised. That being said, a claim from a source like this should never be blindly dismissed either. My approach is to acknowledge it, and keep it in my back pocket for possible reference at a later date. I look for congruencies and patterns. It’s 2020 after all, and the theme seems to be “anything goes.” -Carl Anderson (@carland27488094 on Twitter)
As you can see, this is a widely debated issue with a plethora of different perspectives. In the next installment of this series, I will be covering the peculiar silence of To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (TTSA), and how that has affected the discourse surrounding UFOs.
