Exorcist calls for 'spiritual warfare' as 'rise in evil' causes exorcisms to take twice as long as 50 years ago

Father Chad Ripperger
Father Chad Ripperger, a Catholic priest and longtime exorcist, is sounding the alarm over a rise in "demonic oppression" while rallying the faithful to become "saints" by confronting the dark forces.

Father Ripperger warned of the rise in demonic elements last week during a one-hour talk at the famous St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. While the levels of demonic possession, one of the most severe forms of demonic activity, have remained relatively steady in recent years, Father Ripperger stressed that other forms of demonic activity, such as demonic obsession and oppression, are on the rise.

The cause of this dramatic increase in demonic activity, according to Father Reppinger, stems from the large number of people doing "evil things" and a decrease in holiness among the faithful.

Comment: One doesn't need to be an exorcist to realise that certain regions are the world in particular are suffering from spiritual maladies - whether that be mutilating 'trans' children or cheerleading genocide - and that, indeed, a lapse in the good has allowed sinister forces to get to work on our planet: See also:

Dear British government, it is time to wake up to the UFO reality

"The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds."

- John Maynard Keynes
In recent years, the government of the United States has been treating Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP, previously known as UFOs) as an increasingly serious and bipartisan issue.

This has followed ground-breaking revelations in The New York Times in December 2017, that the US Department of Defense was running a secret UAP study programme with funding initiated by the late Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid. Three leaked Navy UAP videos (two of which were published by The New York Times) were confirmed as real by the US Department of Defense in April 2020.

In June 2021, the US government's Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) published an unclassified preliminary assessment, presenting UAP as a matter of national security and air safety.

The report said UAP are real, the US military is encountering them, and the US government is seriously studying them.

The classified full report was submitted to the Intelligence and Armed Services Committees of the US Congress, and distributed within the relevant intelligence and defence organisations of the executive branch.

Mysterious noise aggravating S. Florida residents: One woman trying to solve the mystery

The cause behind a mysterious noise that has perplexed residents of South Tampa, Florida, could soon be revealed, with help from a crowdfunded effort to support scientific investigations into its cause.

Since as early as 2021, many residents in South Tampa have complained about the noise, which is often likened to a deep throbbing bass sound, the source of which remains to be identified.

Now, area residents have united behind a citizen action campaign to fund a scientific investigation into the strange, low-frequency sonic phenomenon.

Sara Healy is an administrator in a group of approximately 5.5k mothers in the South Tampa area, some of whom began complaining about the noise more than a year ago.

"The noise was first noted in the group in late 2022," Healy told The Debrief in an email. "It's always a hot topic of discussion any time it's heard."

Healy says that on January 13, 2024, many members reported hearing the noise louder and more intense than at any time before. Healy says she also experienced the low bass vibration associated with the noise for the first time, prompting her to create a separate community chat within the group to help bring a resolution to the strange sonic disturbance.

What has happened to the Pentagon's former UFO hunter?

"As an intelligence officer, I would expect all of you to expect me to lie to you." So the former director of the Pentagon's UFO analysis office quipped to an audience in 2022.

Since his retirement in December, Sean Kirkpatrick has been on a media tour unusual for former intelligence officials.

Kirkpatrick now indirectly accuses top members of Congress of holding a "religious belief" in UFOs "that transcends critical thinking and rational thought." In his most pointed commentary, he has also fired back at whistleblowers alleging the existence of surreptitious government UFO retrieval and reverse engineering efforts.

According to Kirkpatrick, "none of [the UFO whistleblowers] have any firsthand evidence or knowledge. They're all relaying stories that they've heard from other people."

At least three sources contradict Kirkpatrick's statement.

Comment: Kirkpatrick is simply following in the footsteps of Project Blue Book and the Condon Committee. It's a slimy job, and you have to sell all your integrity, but someone has to do it.

Department of Defense's alarming inaction: Only 1 of 11 UFO recommendations implemented, posing risk to national security

Liberation Times has discovered that only one out of the eleven recommendations issued to leaders within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in the wake of an Inspector General Evaluation, first published on August 15, 2023, regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), has been implemented.

In its 'Evaluation of the DoD's Actions Regarding UAP,' the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) identified a risk to military forces and national security due to the DoD's lack of a comprehensive and coordinated approach to addressing UAP.

Answering in response to a question posed by Liberation Times as to how many recommendations have been implemented to date, a DoD OIG spokesperson commented:
'One has been fully implemented the other ten are still being implemented.'
The lack of apparent urgency when faced with potential risks has been met with disbelief among Liberation Times sources. DoD and intelligence sources have told Liberation Times that the news represents an "utter failure".

Liberation Times contacted the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asking whether Americans could sleep comfortably following the conclusion of the alarming report. No response has been received.

The report also highlighted a lack of response by the United States Air Force to its recommendations - noting that its response, 'did not provide the specific actions that the Air Force would take and the dates for those actions'

Former UFO office director's opinions draw scrutiny on impartiality and investigation handling

A recent opinion article written by Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the former director of the U.S. government's Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) office, known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has prompted concerns regarding the impartiality and handling of the office under his leadership.

In the article published in Scientific American, Dr. Kirkpatrick took swipes at whistleblowers under threat from reprisals and current members of Congress currently investigating UAP.

Dr. Kirkpatrick, referring to former senior intelligence official and UAP whistleblower David Grusch, wrote:
'Our efforts were ultimately overwhelmed by sensational but unsupported claims that ignored contradictory evidence yet captured the attention of policymakers and the public, driving legislative battles and dominating the public narrative.'
Dr. Kirkpatrick in October 2023 admitted that as director he had not spoken to Grusch about the allegations, casting doubts over his position to know whether they are unsupported.

'Uncoordinated': Internal watchdog raps Pentagon's UFO tracking effort

The Defense Department's effort to identify UFOs is "uncoordinated" and could have overlooked threats to the United States, according to an unclassified version of a report from the Pentagon's internal watchdog released Thursday.

In the report, originally released last August but containing classified sections, the DOD's inspector general reviewed the department's policies and procedures for detecting, reporting and analyzing UFO reports that have flooded the department in recent years.

After an investigation, the IG found that the Defense Department doesn't have a "coordinated approach," has developed varying processes for collecting and analyzing UFO reports, and has largely excluded regional military commands — which are responsible for detecting and deterring threats against the United States — in developing policies.

"We determined that the DoD has no overarching UAP policy and, as a result, it lacks assurance that national security and flight safety threats to the United States from UAP have been identified and mitigated," the report said, using the acronym for unidentified anomalous phenomena, which is how the government refers to UFOs.

The vanishing star enigma and the 1952 Washington DC UFO wave

ufos dc
As we look up at the starry sky, countless celestial bodies silently peer down upon us. Most of these have been there for billions of years as stellar processes slowly unfold, starting from their birth until their final demise. Light from other celestial objects, though long vanished, has only recently reached us. In other instances, swift changes in the sky occur at timescales as short as seconds or minutes, like when a dwarf star momentarily flares up or when a human satellite crosses the field of view.

My team has been searching for objects that may have vanished. As an unexpected result of our searches, we found cases where multiple star-like objects (transients) appeared and vanished in a small image within an hour, and even more peculiarly, two of our brightest cases happened in July 1952, coinciding in time with the 1952 Washington D.C. UFO flyovers. But what have we actually found, and how do these two events potentially link to one another?

In the Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO) project, our team has been dedicated to the search for celestial objects that vanished over the span of 70 years. In the grand scheme of cosmic time and the billions of years needed for a low-mass star to turn into a white dwarf, seventy years is only a fleeting moment in cosmic time. But 70 years is also much longer than the time needed for a satellite to pass through the telescope's field of view. Our original objective was to search for a star that had vanished, with the hope of detecting instances where a star directly collapses into a black hole (failed supernova), an event predicted by supernova theoreticians. Alternatively, we were intrigued by the prospect of finding a star that vanishes entirely without a trace or explanation; a signature of a highly advanced civilization.

'It only takes one to be real and it changes humanity for ever': What if we've been lied to about UFOs?

If you thought that we were about to finally get the truth about UFOs, think again. At the end of last year, a US government bill that would have mandated the controlled release of all classified documents and artefacts relating to UFOs was significantly watered down at the last minute so that it would get through Congress.

Interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), the new term for UFOs, reignited in June 2023 when ex-US intelligence agency whistleblower David Grusch told the Debrief website that during his official duties he had discovered the US had indeed been retrieving spacecraft of non-human origin for decades. The claims led to a congressional hearing, in which Grusch and others described what they had gleaned of this super-secret project, or seen with their own eyes during military service. Their testimonies resulted in the new Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Disclosure Act, authored by a bipartisan group of five elected representatives, led by Democrat majority leader Chuck Schumer and Republican senator Mike Rounds.

While it is easy to focus on the extraordinary nature of the subject or the credibility of those witnessing UAPs, the prospect of alien spacecraft raises serious issues that go beyond whether we're alone in the universe. Lots of scientific work is under way not only to look for signs of extraterrestrial life, but more recently to ask what it would mean psychologically for us if aliens really do exist, and - potentially worse - if the authorities have been lying to us about what they know.

UFO whistleblower held secret talk with 'Wall St bigwigs' in Manhattan - where he claimed US was in possession of 40ft Tardis-like craft

David Grusch spoke to scientists, former military officials and current FBI members about the US's long-held UAP retrieval program, including a 40-foot-long UAP that 'was the size of a football field' when stepped inside
A UFO whistleblower shared new details of a Tardis-like craft in government possession during a secret meeting in New York City.

Decorated former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch claims his sources worked on a 40-foot UAP that 'was the size of a football field' when they stepped inside, according to an attendee at the event.

The object could manipulate both space and time and use and could harness enough energy to power 70,000 homes a year, the source said.

DailyMail.com understands that guests included officials from the FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, tech entrepreneurs and Wall Street 'bigwigs.'

All in, Grusch gave the talk to 60 people at a penthouse in Manhattan, and photos were banned from the event.

The only information about the meeting was leaked by an anonymous attendee who took pictures of Grusch.

DailyMail.com has since verified that the meeting took place and was told by sources that Coinbase advisor John D'Agostino and high-powered attorney John J. Altorelli hosted the event.
