An excerpt from the Global Outlook Webinar on February 24, 2024.
Transcript edited for print.
What I said last year, during one of the eclipse revelation slides—I included this—was that many conspiracy theories would be validated in 2024. This was part of a 2023 slide where I stated that we would see eclipse revelations emerge in a very powerful way.

Revelations of Covert UFO Missions
One of those revelations came last year during the eclipses in May, with the breakthrough disclosure about a covert CIA group known as the Office of Global Access (OGA). This group has been recovering unidentified flying objects from crash sites worldwide. Government sources revealed that the U.S. had collected at least nine extraterrestrial craft, some damaged and two in mint condition.
Since its inception within the CIA Science and Technology Directorate in 2003, the OGA has been on the forefront of these top-secret missions with technology capable of detecting even the most cloaked UFOs. Elite military squads are dispatched to secure these otherworldly crafts.
The OGA also specializes in accessing forbidden zones for the U.S. military, including enemy territories deep inside China and other uncharted frontiers.

David Grusch and the Push for Congressional Oversight
David Grusch, a former high-ranking military intelligence officer, testified under oath about secret programs involving advanced technology surpassing current U.S. capabilities. His testimony to Congress on July 26, 2023, marked the beginning of official UFO disclosure.
Grusch, a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan and veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Reconnaissance Office, revealed that he was informed of a decades-long UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program.
Despite being denied direct access, he interviewed 40 witnesses over four years, including intelligence and military personnel directly involved in UFO programs. These witnesses confirmed the U.S. government’s possession of both complete and fragmented craft of non-human origin and even non-human UAP pilots—essentially, aliens.
These programs have existed for decades and have reportedly been weaponized against adversaries like China, Russia, and possibly extraterrestrial forces. Grusch emphasized the need for congressional oversight, as this information had been withheld.
Following his testimony, Congress ordered the release of UFO records, although broader disclosure efforts were scaled back. Before this House panel hearing, the official stance from the military and the Biden administration was that “there’s no there there” (an expression used to describe a situation where something lacks substance or meaning) regarding UFOs. But Grusch’s statements brought the issue into the open, sparking a wave of public and congressional attention.

House Hearing on UFOs and Government Transparency
Let me give you an example. In a key exchange during the hearing, officials were asked if UAPs could be probing U.S. capabilities or testing vulnerabilities. Their responses were affirmative. Mr. Graves, Mr. Grusch, and Mr. Fraver all stated that UAPs posed potential existential threats to U.S. national security.
This led to the Senate approving the UAP Disclosure Act, requiring all government records on unidentified phenomena to be presumed for immediate release.
The reason I bring this up is that it aligns with predictions I’ve made since my 2018 Trump disclosure presentation. If Trump returns to office, he may be the “disclosure president.”
The Coming Ontological Shock
So what we’re seeing coming this year is the beginning of ontological shock. This refers to a transformative experience forcing individuals or societies to reevaluate their core beliefs about the world, religion, government, and history. This process involves a dramatic shift in thinking where previously accepted truths and ideologies are scrutinized and often found lacking.
This then precipitates a deep existential crisis, necessitating the arduous psychological endeavor of reconstructing a new framework of values, beliefs, and principles. So it’s not just about a change of opinion; it’s about fundamentally reshaping worldviews. It’s really a significant transformation at the very core of one’s being, reshaping the entire outlook of life and existence.
Ontological shock could be triggered by catastrophic UAP disclosures. These might involve whistleblowers like Grusch or even foreign governments like Russia or China making public acknowledgments. There’s also the possibility of extraterrestrial entities appearing in undeniable ways.

Black Swan Eclipse Triggers
The solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, is a significant date. It has a loaded eighth house, and ontological shock often relates to eighth-house events, like sudden death or dramatic revelations. For example, learning at age 42 that you were adopted can trigger such a shock.
Similarly, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, following a lunar eclipse, was an ontological shock on a geopolitical scale. Nobody foresaw that collapse, yet it reshaped the global order.
Geopolitical Risks for 2024
Looking ahead, we see similar patterns involving China. The March 25, 2024, lunar eclipse directly impacts China’s radix sun while transiting Pluto aligns with its ascendant and moon. This could trigger an ontological black swan event with geopolitical consequences.

Other geopolitical risks for 2024 include a protracted war between Hamas and Israel that escalates into regional conflict requiring U.S. intervention in Iran, Venezuela making a land grab for Guyana’s oil-rich regions, or China asserting control over islands in the South China Sea.
Economic upheaval is another possibility, with central bank policies causing credit events, a collapse of U.S. and European commercial real estate markets, or further deterioration in China’s property sector, as seen with Evergrande.
These black swan events carry profound, long-lasting consequences, reshaping geopolitics, economics, and society. And we are entering a period where the unexpected becomes the norm.
