Announcements:
- My next book, First Line of Defense, is coming out next month from Ignatius Press: https://ignatius.com/first-line-of-defense-fldfp/ . Doug Barry and I coauthored it, and with this book we hope to inspire all Catholic men to fulfill their calling to heroism!
- It was an immense honor and privilege to deliver the 68th Commencement Address at Holy Apostles College & Seminary last month and receive an honorary doctorate. You can watch my speech here: https://youtu.be/HwmcOWr5-EQ?si=_87syHXAPvWc1XlX
- Apologies for the long delay, but I am finally now getting back to work on the Documentary (The Age of Deception)
- I’ve just uploaded a video summarizing the theological Catholic case against the ET Deception. If you already read The First and Last Deception, then there’s no need to watch this video. But if you’re looking for one video to send to others in order to prepare them to reject the UFO Deception once it explodes onto the scene (as, frankly, is already happening), then this is the video to send. Please share widely! Here it is: https://youtu.be/pUutKlkqhMk
It is stunning to observe the Signs of the Times exploding all around us.
Ever since the Era we grew up in ended as Churches across the world shut down six years ago due to the Covid tyranny, events have marched steadily towards their apocalyptic and long-prophesied culmination.
Although we have seen pauses in the downward spiral, as well as extensions of the Time of Mercy – and I’ll be the first to admit that we’ve seen more of these than I thought possible! – the overarching trend has remained unmistakable.
When the Covid tyranny began to fade, Russia invaded Ukraine, and thus was shattered the post-WWII order we all knew. When the world “got used to” that war, the October 7th 2023 attacks occurred, and the Gaza war began, bringing the Middle East into disarray yet again. Then in 2025 President Trump began his second term, and everyone – whether for or against him – was reminded that normal wasn’t coming back.
And now, we are at war with Iran.
Every time we hear that peace has been made, or is about to be made, we are abruptly reminded of the opposite. It collapses almost immediately each time.
As Jesus said to the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta,
“My daughter, the whole world is upside down, and everyone is awaiting changes, peace, new things. They themselves gather to discuss about it, and are surprised at not being able to conclude anything and to come to serious decisions. So, true peace does not arise, and everything resolves into words, but no facts. And they hope that more conferences may serve to make serious decisions, but they wait in vain. In the meantime, in this waiting, they are in fear, and some prepare themselves for new wars, some hope for new conquests. But, with this, the peoples are impoverished, are stripped alive…”
An accurate description of the world today indeed.
We know from the Seals of Revelation to expect, in the days ahead, ever increasing war, strife, economic collapse, societal breakdown, inflation, famine, persecution & martyrdom – and, ultimately, the Illumination of Conscience, whereafter the truly immense events begin.
But always pray for peace. Timelines and details of the chastisements are not set in stone; they can still be mitigated (if not completely removed) through prayer. At the same time, do not become too naively optimistic in hoping for a return to normal. That ain’t happening. Instead, prepare your heart to endure trials ahead. Prepare by becoming a saint. Prepare by Living in the Divine Will.
Perhaps even more prophetically significant than the wars, however, is the rumblings of the Great Deception growing ever louder. Three months ago, President Trump announced that he’s going to do UFO Disclosure. Yesterday, the director of the FBI said that the UFO files have been delivered and that Disclosure will be very soon now. Of course, I’ve been warning for over five years that this is coming soon and that it will be a Deception; the opening of the very “Strong Delusion” (2 Thessalonians 2) of the Antichrist himself.
I wish I was wrong.
I wasn’t.
We are running out of time to oppose this Deception before the “ontological shock” that it brings with it will make sober analysis nigh impossible for all but the most spiritually grounded. While many Christians and Catholics have woken up over the last several years and have realized that all this talk of “ETs” is actually diabolical, most still have not. Most of the faithful continue to think that believing aliens exist and are here on earth is perfectly fine and unproblematic. Thus they are walking like cattle to the slaughter.
When the “signs and wonders” and “wicked deception” of the “Strong Delusion” is unleashed, as Scripture promises it will be, and we are told that the ETs have the solution to our impending nuclear crisis (or energy crisis, or “AI crisis,” or what have you), a mere “skepticism” about ET and UFO claims will do no good. Everyone claims to have that. Only categorical opposition will suffice. Only a complete refusal of dialogue with these demons in disguise will do any good. For once the dialogue with the devil begins, the fall is a foregone conclusion.
I’ve finally managed to make one video that summarizes just why Catholics absolutely can and must categorically reject belief in aliens. I’ve done countless videos and podcasts on many channels over the years warning against this coming Deception and crusading against it, but in none have I summarized the whole theological argument. So, it is my hope and prayer that this video I just posted today gets before the eyes of all Catholics, that they may be prepared to reject the Great Lie that is coming. Here, again, is the link:. https://youtu.be/pUutKlkqhMk
Nevertheless, the good news which stands opposed to the bad news always remains supremely important. And while the Devil is on the move, so is God. The Triumph of the Divine Will cannot be stopped. More and more people are becoming aware of the supreme importance of Living in the Divine Will. The Devil will doubtless pull out a few more tricks to attempt to stop the Beatification of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, but his plans will not succeed for long.
If I have focused more of my public efforts recently on opposing the Great Deception than on promoting the Divine Will, it is only because of how close the Great Deception is, and how inadequate Catholic opposition to it has been. But the Divine Will remains the key mission here. Moreover, there is a great similarity in another sense.
My message is the Symmetry of History. Jesus tells Luisa, “The end is my Will, because my Will was the beginning, and by justice, one who is the beginning must also be the end.” The Reign of the Divine Will in the beginning was ruined by man’s succumbing to the first NHI (“Nonhuman Intelligence”) Deception, whereupon the Devil assumed the disguise of a speaking serpent. In like fashion, the Reign of the Divine Will in the end– in our times, that is, however long they may be – will follow the defeat of the Last NHI Deception (the ET/UFO/AGI Deception). The First and Last Deception. The First and Last Test. The First and Last Reign of God’s Will. The Devil now again assumes the illusory appearance of an incarnate nonhuman intelligence – extraterrestrials – and those who give their Fiat to God instead of to these demons in disguise will triumph, and they will usher in the Kingdom of the Divine Will on earth. It is no accident that Jesus’ revelations to Luisa directly refute the existence of extraterrestrials perhaps more than any other private revelation. (I plan to do a video on this soon – please subscribe to my YouTube channel)
The Catechism warns that the Deception of the Antichrist will be a “religious Deception” which offers men an “apparent solution to their problems.”
And everything about this ET/UFO Deception is indeed a religious deception. For example, yesterday a group of Evangelical Pastors were allegedly told by the US Government to prepare for UFO Disclosure to unleash “Bible changing revelations.”
I don’t know whether this particular news story is authentic. What I do know is that this is certainly the plan of the Devil with UFO Disclosure.
The very word itself – “Disclosure” – even means the same thing as “Revelation” or “Apocalypse.” It is an uncovering. Its aim will be to supersede God’s revelation to us in Christ. It will not do so, however, explicitly. The Devil is far too smart for that. It will be subtle. It may even be gradual.
It will take precisely the form that the master of spiritual theology, Fr. Jordan Aumann, described:
Thus he said to the woman: “Did God really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?” (Gen. 3:1). … His tactics are the same today as always. … he will ask in general terms and without as yet inciting them to evil. If the soul recognizes that the simple posing of the question represents a danger, it will refuse to converse with the tempter but will turn its thoughts and imagination to other matters. Then the temptation is thwarted, and an easy victory is won. But if the soul imprudently enters into conversation with the tempter, it is exposed to the great danger of succumbing … The soul has yielded ground to the enemy, and now the enemy gathers his forces to make a direct attack: “But the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil’ “ (Gen. 3:4-5). The devil presents an enchanting possibility ... During temptation the conduct of the soul can be summarized in one important word: resist. It does not suffice merely to remain passive in the face of temptation; positive resistance is necessary.[i]
Your task is simple. It is, as Fr. Aumann says, “RESIST.” You must resist and reject and refuse to even dialogue with “the enchanting possibility.” And boy will we be presented with “enchanting possibilities” in the days immediately ahead, amid the ET/UFO and AI Deception’s continued explosion.
What is coming will also acquire the form foretold by the newest Doctor of the Church, St. John Henry Newman, who said this about the coming times of the Antichrist:
“Do you think [Satan] is so unskillful in his craft, as to ask you openly and plainly to join him in his warfare against the Truth? No; he offers you baits to tempt you. … He promises you illumination, he offers you knowledge … He shows you how to become as gods.” —St. John Henry Newman. The Times of Antichrist
You’re about to see that diabolical bait splattered across global headlines.
Don’t take the bait.
