Dark Alliance- The Next Generation

 

Darcy Weir is somebody I've known for a number of years. He is a prolific young documentary filmmaker from Canada who has covered many of the same subjects that I have and I've interviewed him numerous times, for example: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2023/05/hpanwo-show-507-podcast-darcy-weir.html. He's also a fellow member of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, see: https://www.hollywooddisclosurealliance.org/darcy-weir. During the course of his career he has been through a few phases of interest into different elements of the esoteric world, but his latest period is one I did not expect. He has made two documentaries about what he believes is fraud and disinformation within the UFO community. This concerns him seeing as he is not a skeptic and realizes that there is a reality to the phenomenon that lies behind this deception. The second in this series, Dark Alliance- The Next Generation, carries on from where the first one left off, critically examining the claims of a number of people who have told extraordinary stories about their involvement with ET races and the secret space programme. These include some very well-known names on the conference circuit and alternative media; some of whom I've met and even worked with. Among them are people who declare themselves to be supersoldiers, ET-human hybrids, secret agents, officers in an unacknowledged space force, contactees, time travellers and even keepers of aliens who look like giant blue birds. We've heard from this contingent that there are secret bases on Mars where there are special beds that when you lie in them it can heal any sickness or even return you to your youth. Darcy and his colleague Kari Lindsay interview some of them, editing in some special effects and humour. It turns out that many of these ideas are not original. The stories these people tell can be found in science fiction. For example the "med-beds" are a feature of the film Elysium, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1AkgIF3dQM. (Darcy does not mention this, but the blue avians can be found in the book Rama II by Arthur C Clarke and Gentry Lee.) Darcy also talks about a conference I considered going to last year, but abandoned the plan, for better or worse; the Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection Conference that took place in Eastbourne, East Sussex. It was organized by Dani Henderson, somebody I met at the recent Bases Project conference, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/12/secret-space-disclosure-bases-2025.html. There was a skywatch on the seafront during the night and they saw a group of objects fly overhead. A MUFON investigator examined the data and explained these as a flock of geese. I know this was also supposedly what the 1951 "Lubbock lights" were; and they were not. The Lubbock lights were more like the Phoenix lights. Despite this the MUFON conclusion is quite likely to be true. You can even see the birds' wings flapping. This resulted in a massive online troll attack against MUFON and the individual involved. Sadly, this is something I'm all too familiar with, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2018/02/confronting-droike.html. Dani also retrospectively withdrew her permission to be in the documentary after Darcy interviewed her.
 
I have always been annoyed by the people I call "backslappers", those who focus obsessively on internally policing the UFO-paranormal-conspiracy theoretical community, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/01/andrew-has-questions.html. A lot of them are a lot worse than the people they lambaste. There is virtually a cottage industry of these types and their numbers are growing. That being said however, there is a definitely a legitimate role for cleaning house. There are some very dishonest and avaricious people in the UFO world who tell falsehoods and make money from it. I personally do not believe that med-beds, age regression or blue chickens are real. Time travel to the past is physically impossible, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/05/time-traveller-comes-back.html. If people are claiming that they are real and drawing all the attention and resources of the community as a result, then that is a problem; therefore Darcy is doing nothing wrong by addressing that. I don't think he is a backslapper; he does not have the right personality. I think he is motivated by genuine concerns. There is a large overlap between the nonsense claims and the serious research. Gary McKinnon is often cited as exposing the existence of "Solar Warden", a secret space fleet established to protect the earth from hostile aliens. This is not true. Gary did describe seeing evidence for something similar, but it was not literally Solar Warden. This blending of fact and fantasy is a hindrance for the subject because it causes confusion and scorn. Dark Alliance- The Next Generation, features an interview with Steven Cambian in a way he has never shown himself before, outside his studio and without his sunglasses. You can clearly see his squint caused by the haemorrhagic stroke he suffered a few years ago, which he talks about openly. It somehow makes him seem gentler and more likeable. I've been very critical of Cambian in the past and have defended some of the people he attacks; however, others among his targets clearly do deserve it. At the same time though, UFOlogy does involve serious research into phenomena that are very strange indeed, but are genuine and studied in a serious manner; indeed Darcy has addressed this in his other films. As I said, I don't believe in the nonsense any more than Darcy does, but some of the real discoveries come across to the ear as really no less bizarre. For example, Darcy interviews Dr Michael Salla whom he is very critical of, and I also find some of Salla's work way over the top. Despite this Michael Salla has made the world aware of some other issues that I do think we should take seriously, such as the strange educational practice of schoolchildren being taught about crash-retrievals, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/02/another-fake-school-roswell.html. So I commend Dr Michael Salla for scoops like that. All he needs to do is stick to the real stuff and stay away from the drivel. Despite the fact that UFO "wackadoos" to use Cambian's phrase, are inspired by science fiction; sometimes the opposite is true also. Close Encounters of the Third Kind was designed with the help of J Allen Hynek and there are many other examples. We do ourselves no favours by assuming anything that sounds like the nonsense has to be nonsense. Is there evidence for it? That's the vital question that sorts the wheat from the chaff. Darcy had a very strange email conversation with one of the most high profile people to talk about the ET presence and "galactic federation", General Haim Eshed, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/12/israeli-space-commander-says-aliens-are.html. This exchange led Darcy to suspect there is some kind of psychological operation going on. He does not give much detail and I suspect he may be planning a third instalment in his movie series in which he will, but I am familiar with this concept. Some iterations of it are actually quite fashionable, especially the one that says aliens are some kind of engineered neo-mythology created as psychological warfare to launder more down-to-earth covert projects like experimental spy planes etc. I find that rather implausible. Drawing somebody's attention towards something with the ultimate objective of deflecting it away is a very risky gambit that could easily and badly backfire. In my view, what we are dealing with is actually some sort of very elaborate double-bluff. But we'll see what Darcy's future adventures reveal. Dark Alliance- The Next Generation is currently only available on Apple TV, but it is for a reasonable price in my country. It's not made very clear, so beware you don't accidentally sign up for a regular subscription. You can buy or rent the film without that.

Digital ID Fallback

                                          
The government have announced that Digital ID will no longer be mandatory, only voluntary. This is a major retreat from their previous hard-line position; and I'm pleased to say they have cancelled other unpopular policies too, such as those intended to make farmers' and pub landlords' lives a misery. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3385zrrx73o. The Starmer regime has not given a good explanation why it has U-turned like this, but the reason is obvious, mass-resistance from the public and even, amazingly, the members of Parliament, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/12/mp-digital-id-debate.html. This is a major battle won, but we must not get complacent; Starmer has not given up yet. Digital ID is not being scrapped! I've a feeling they will try to sneak in a rule to make it compulsory after the voluntary version has been rolled out. The infrastructure must not be put in place at all. This means we must not let out guard down; I'm still attending the next big demonstration against digital ID in April. The Starmer regime is under a mandate from the global Deep State and so will not go quietly. Look at the way they want to ban Twitter (I can't bear to call it "X"!). As usual there is an apparently unrelated pretext which is the same one they used to justify the Online Safety Act, obscene material, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/03/online-safety-act-goes-live.html. As Elon Musk himself has said, this is nothing more than an excuse. Users have responded with a new meme, Getting Grok to make pictures of Keir Starmer wearing a bikini and there are thousands of them. We should feel encouraged by the way this struggle is turning out. We are definitely on the winning side; and we will continue to win so long as we continue fighting.

Lidl Butlerian Jihad

 

I don't normally shop at Lidl. I go to Tesco because it just happens to be on my usual route. The no-frills German supermarket chain usually escapes my attention, but yesterday I was doing an extra job in an area I don't often visit and needed some groceries. If you've never shopped at Lidl then it's an interesting experience. On the plus side, most items are a bit cheaper than Tesco's. It also sells clothes, hardware and children's toys. However, when I went into the store I had to pass through a turnstile that only opened one way, meaning I couldn't go back. I was like a particle trapped inside the event horizon of a black hole. The only way was forward. This could have been a problem if I'd decided not to buy anything. Can I get out if so? I only needed one item which I selected and then went to the checkout. As I explain in the background articles below, I always refuse to pay via the auto-checkout; if necessary I will ask the staff to open a regular one for me. In this situation I decided to break that rule because I was in a rush to catch a bus, one that only goes once an hour to my destination outside Oxford. There was only one manned till open and it had a long queue. I'm not proud of myself, but the circumstances were exceptional. Because I'm not used to using those machines I made lots of mistakes and needed help from a member of staff. Its artificial voice told me to put my item in the bagging area; I did so and it responded by telling me to do so again. A gaslighting computer! Eventually I was allowed to pay, not with cash of course, and took my item towards the exit. As I approached the door I saw another turnstile. I assumed this would simply open and let me out, now that I had done my duty and bought something; but the thing wouldn't open. I was confused and then saw a sign that told me to scan my receipt. I panicked; did I still have it!? Thankfully yes I did; I had showed it into my back pocket where I always put my rubbish between litter bins. Good job I hadn't just left it behind; I don't normally take shopping receipts for something as minor as groceries. There was a barcode on it that I had to scan before the turnstile finally slid back and I was a free man. Despite the attraction of its low prices I don't think I'll go back there again unless I have to. The process of shopping in Lidl is rather like sheep dipping. The customers are corralled in via a one way passage and then not allowed out except via a second controlled gate. What would have happened if I'd not bought anything? "Could somebody let me out please?"... "No! You have to stay now!" As I walked sombrely towards the bus stop I recalled Heathcote Williams' poem Advertisement, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YB8PXY6m1w. The poem was published in 1978 and this recitation is from 1980. I wonder what the author would think about the supermarkets of the 21st century. I went back to my usual Tesco shop today and described my Lidl experience to a member of staff, asking whether Tesco had any plans to introduce this system. "Not as far as I know." she replied. We'll see. If they do, the Butlerian Jihad will have to escalate.

Erich von Däniken Dies

 

I'm sorry to report that Erich von Däniken has died. Erich was born in Bern, Switzerland in 1935 and ran a hotel before he developed an interest in UFO's and ancient mysteries. After travelling around the world examining ancient monuments he came up with a hypothesis that combined the two. Early in our history and prehistory our ancestors had experienced open contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence. These aliens taught us all kinds of technology and helped us construct the world's first civilizations. The evidence for this can be found in their ancient stone structures, as well as their artwork and mythology. He wrote the book Chariots of the Gods in 1968 which I found in my school library when I was about eleven or twelve; and it fascinated me. Erich went on to write numerous more books and founded a theme park. He took part in numerous film and television documentaries and appeared at alternative conferences globally. His work inspired many other researchers and, in more recent times, the TV series Ancient Aliens. I met Erich once in 2022 at the Chariots of the Gods Awakening Expo in Blackpool, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2022/06/a-streetcar-named-starr-gate.html. I find a lot of Erich's theories very dubious. Many of the anomalies he noticed can be explained by the presence of a prehistoric human civilization; and so I'm more on Graham Hancock's side. However, nobody can deny that Erich widened the Overton window considerably when it comes to all kinds of new and esoteric ideas both within alternative archaeology and associated fields of study; such as UFOlogy, the Disclosure movement and historical conspiracy. Like Hancock, Erich was subjected to the most bitter and enraged opposition from academia. Erich von Däniken passed away aged ninety on Saturday at Interlaken in his native Switzerland.
