Scientists have fiercely debated the existence of ‘Planet 9’ for a decade. Some say evidence is piling up

Our solar system used to have nine planets. Astronomer Mike Brown, also known as “the man who killed Pluto,” said he got hate mail from kids and obscene calls at 3 a.m. for years after his most famous finding helped change that.

Brown, a professor of planetary astronomy at Caltech, discovered another small world called Eris in the Kuiper Belt — a vast ring of icy objects beyond Neptune’s orbit that also happens to be the former ninth planet’s neighborhood. The 2005 revelation set off a chain of events that led to Pluto’s still-controversial demotion from planet status the following year.

But now, just as the Kuiper Belt effectively took a ninth planet away, Brown and other scientists believe it could give one back.

The belt, which astronomers believe is made of leftovers from the solar system’s formation, extends 50 times farther from the sun than Earth, with a secondary region that reaches beyond it for nearly 20 times that distance. Pluto, now classified as a dwarf planet along with Eris, is just one of the largest among the scores of icy bodies that exist there — and doesn’t dominate its own orbit and clear the orbit of other objects. That’s why it can’t have the same standing as the remaining eight planets, according to guidelines laid out by the International Astronomical Union.

Because objects in the Kuiper Belt are so far away from the sun, however, they are difficult to spot. For more than a decade, astronomers have been searching that area for a hidden planet that has never been observed, but its presence is inferred by the behavior of other nearby objects. It’s often called Planet X or Planet Nine.

THE CABAL MOVES: Secretive Bilderberg Group Taps Former NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg as New Chair of the ‘Steering Committee’

The secretive Bilderberg Group has a new co-chair of its ‘Steering Committee’, in the figure of the former Norwegian Prime Minister and former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

The Bilderberg is one of the most mysterious, and therefore most mythologized elite groups on the Planet.

The Conspiracy Theories involving the group are numerous: to begin with, it is said that it works towards establishing a ‘New World Order’, representing a danger to national sovereignty and democracy.

It is also said that the group is a ‘global kingmaker.’

It is indeed a historical fact that one of its founders, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, was directly linked to the Nazi party, which would explain the group’s inclination towards authoritarian control.

There are also assertions that the Bilderberg instigated major global events, from wars to economic crises, all to serve their agenda.

And the list would not be complete without the lore popularized by David Icke, claiming that the Bilderberg members are of a reptilian race that interbred with humans to control planetary events.

Former DARPA Drone Operator Claims Mysterious Drones Over U.S. May Be a ‘Distraction’ for Future Military Attack

In recent weeks, numerous reports of mysterious drone sightings have emerged across New Jersey and other East Coast states, causing public concern and prompting federal investigations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has responded by imposing temporary flight restrictions over critical infrastructure in New Jersey, effective until January 17, 2025, threatening “deadly force” against aircraft violating the zones if they pose an “imminent security threat.”

Despite these measures, federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have stated that the majority of these sightings involve lawful drone operations or misidentified manned aircraft.

They assert that there is no credible evidence suggesting a threat to national security or public safety.

Mike Glover, a former drone operator for both defense research lab DARPA and the US military, has warned that the recent wave of mysterious drone sightings over the U.S. could be part of a larger, more sinister agenda.

“In my career, I flew drones, a lot of drones. Almost every drone in the inventory, I was qualified to fly. I taught people how to fly the drones, and I worked a couple of special programs with DARPA on flying drones for Task Force… If a foreign adversary was doing a covert up to surveil, they’re not going to have flashing and illuminating lights,” Glover said during an interview with former Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf on Ironclad.

The broader concern voiced by Glover and others is the potential that these drone sightings are being used as a media diversion. Glover suggested that the intense focus on drones might be concealing other critical issues, such as growing tensions in the Middle East or covert military operations in Syria.

The View Suggests Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Plotting To KILL Trump

The level of batshittery on The View just got ratcheted up several more notches as the cackling witches suggested that Elon Musk is conspiring with JD Vance to get rid of Trump.

Host Whoopi Goldberg ranted “Who is in charge? Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying that I think Elon Musk believes he’s President. I do.”

“Well, you can call him Vice President,” Joy Behar interjected, prompting Goldberg to continue ranting “I’ve called him Vice President. I called him President because I don’t know what JD is doing. I hardly ever said. I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”

They’re not even in office yet. What is he supposed to be doing?

“He’s planning the presidency when he got to get rid of Trump,” Behar claimed out of nowhere.

“So you think it’s Musk, Vance?” Goldberg asked her, to which she responded “Possible.”

Goldberg then offered some advice to Trump, “Stay away from the stairways. People put their leg out to trip people down the stairs. Watch out.”

UFO whistleblower slams ‘contradictory’ answers from US officials on troubling drone mystery as conspiracy theories grow

THE United States government has been accused of leading the public astray as the New Jersey drone mystery continues to leave people dumbfounded.

Worried Americans are still searching for answers after the number of unusual sightings in the sky increased in several states, most notably New Jersey.

Officials claim people could be seeing civilian aircraft, government, military, or drones used by any of the one million registered users in the US.

MOUNTING FEARS

The Pentagon has stressed that they are not dangerous while suggesting there is no evidence to suggest the drones belong to another country.

However, NJ officials are demanding answers, and confusion is deepening as public trust in the government agencies tasked with solving the mystery continues to erode.

State Senator Jon Bramnick wants the Department of Defense to “come clean” and tell everyone what’s happening.

Liberal Veteran Claims Trump Will Be Arrested December 20th Under Executive Order 13848 — Calls for Mob to Storm D.C. on Inauguration Day and Demand Trump Step Down if Arrest Doesn’t Happen

For years, conservatives have been vilified as “conspiracy theorists” for claiming the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from President Trump.

The mainstream media and liberal pundits mocked anyone who questioned the outcome, dismissing them as dangerous extremists or delusional crackpots.

Now, the tide has turned, and the hypocrisy is glaringly obvious as liberals peddle their own wild predictions.

Enter USAF veteran and vocal leftist Jerry Doran, who has taken to social media to allege that President Trump will be arrested on December 20th under Executive Order 13848.

Doran, a nurse and substitute teacher, went further, urging a mass storming of Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day if his so-called prophecy doesn’t come to pass.

Suddenly, calls for public demonstrations, which liberals once decried as insurrections, are acceptable when they serve their narrative.

According to Doran’s unhinged social media rant, Executive Order 13848, signed in 2018 by Trump, will be weaponized to arrest the 45th President for conspiring with foreign actors to rig the election. He passionately encouraged leftists to prepare for mass mobilization if the arrest doesn’t happen by January 20th, the next Inauguration Day.

In his rambling video, Doran said:

“Don’t forget, it’s We the People, okay? Executive Order 13848 is coming out. It’s been out, and Donald Trump helped create it. It’s going to come back to bite him because it says how we have to proceed when there’s outside interference in our elections. There definitely has been. They’re going to reveal it on December 20th because 45 days from November 6th brings us to December 20th—six days from today, Friday.

[…]

If Executive Order 13848 isn’t implemented next week, then by January 20th—the day of the inauguration—We the People are going to have to show up in Washington and have this guy step down. The 3% rule states that if 3% of a group’s population gathers in mass, they can change everything. We have 330 million Americans. Ten percent of that is 33 million. And what’s a third of that? Eleven million.

Eleven million of us need to show up in Washington, D.C., on January 20th and have this guy step down. He’ll see 11 million people—talk about a crowd. He’ll have a coronary and step down. We’ve got to do it.

For those of us in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Long Island, Connecticut—everybody—we’ve got to converge on Washington. Black, white, trans, LGBTQ2, drag queens—peacefully and coincidentally—we’re going to meet and have this guy step down. That’s our fail-safe.”

An Accidentalist’s Guide to Denying the Obvious

There’s a peculiar comfort in believing that things simply happen by accident. That the powerful don’t conspire, that institutions don’t coordinate, that the crumbling pillars of society represent mere happenstance rather than design. I’ve come to call these people “accidentalists” – those who find refuge in randomness, who dismiss patterns as paranoia.

The Cost of Seeing

Like the red pill in The Matrix, recognizing patterns changes everything. Many choose comfortable illusions over uncomfortable truths. As Hannah Arendt observed, “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer exists.”

For the professional class – academics, journalists, corporate managers – acknowledging these patterns means confronting their own complicity. Their success, their status, their sense of self – all are built on supporting rather than questioning power structures.

The accidentalist mindset offers refuge from this self-examination. Better to dismiss than face one’s role in the machinery.

The Death of Coincidence

It requires impressive mental gymnastics to believe that those with power – who achieved it through careful planning and coordination – suddenly stop planning and coordinating once they obtain it. That they abandon the very tools that brought them success. That they become, somehow, passive observers of their own decline.

When confronted with evidence of coordination – be it documented government censorship, institutional narrative control, or coordinated media campaigns – the accidentalist draws an arbitrary line. “Well, that’s different,” they say. “That’s not a conspiracy, that’s just…” And here they trail off, unable to articulate why some coordinated actions by the powerful count as conspiracies while others are merely business as usual.

The Weaponization of Skepticism and Manufacturing Outcasts

The term “conspiracy theory” itself reveals institutional manipulation. The CIA’s 1967 dispatch (Document 1035-960) explicitly directed media assets to use this label to discredit Warren Commission critics. They transformed skepticism into pathology – making the very act of questioning power seem delusional.

This weaponization of language worked brilliantly. Today, pattern recognition itself becomes suspect. In 2022, the New York Times published perhaps the most revealing example of institutional arrogance – an essay warning citizens against “doing their own research,” suggesting they weren’t competent to question expert conclusions. The message was clear: leave the thinking to us. Trust the experts. Stay in your lane.

Starlink Election Fraud Claims Show Dems Are Not Immune to Conspiracy Theories

After the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump and his allies floated numerous hypotheses to explain his loss. One theory, which came to be known as “Italygate,” posited that Italian military satellites had interfered with American voting machines and switched votes from Trump to Joe Biden. Though far-fetched, multiple government agents looked into it: Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller called U.S. officials in Rome to ask about the theory, and then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows emailed Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, asking him to investigate.

Like all of Trump’s other allegations about voter fraud in 2020, Italygate had no basis in reality. But just one election cycle later, on the opposite side of the aisle, a very similar conspiracy is taking shape.

“Swing states were able to use Starlink in order to tally up and to count ballot votes, or voting ballots, in their state,” claimed TikTok user Etheria77 in a video that was also cross-posted to X last week, where as of this writing it has more than 4.5 million views. (TikTok removed the original video.) Over the course of the nine-minute video, Etheria77 posits that Elon Musk sent Starlink satellite internet terminals to swing states for use with vote tabulation, a task the terminals are not equipped to perform.

“There [are] absolutely zero reasons as to why those systems were connected to the internet,” Etheria77 says. “[Voting] machines have absolutely no problem tallying up votes like they have done since the beginning of time.”

To be sure, one TikTok video filmed in the front seat of a car is hardly the same as a concerted effort encompassing the sitting president. But the allegation has spread so far and wide that multiple mainstream news outlets felt the need to address it.

As with Italygate, this theory is not based in fact. While Starlink terminals “were used by election officials in some states to improve internet connectivity at rural polling locations,” Alex Demas wrote at The Bulwark, “Starlink is not a tabulation system and was not used to count or transmit votes in the swing states.” Terminals were largely used at polling places that rely on steady internet connections to perform tasks like checking voters’ signatures and registration.

The Associated Press wrote in October that “with a few exceptions,” voting machines are not connected to the internet: “There are some jurisdictions in a few states that allow for ballot scanners in polling locations to transmit unofficial results, using a mobile private network, after voting has ended on Election Day and the memory cards containing the vote tallies have been removed.”

“It is not possible that Starlink was used to hack or change the outcome of the US presidential election,” David Becker of The Center for Election Innovation & Research told the AP.

“Our elections produce huge quantities of physical evidence. A satellite system like Starlink cannot steal that,” Pamela Smith of the nonprofit Verified Voting Foundation told Demas.

ABC affiliate ‘mistakenly’ airs election results sparking conspiracy theories

An ABC affiliate has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania.

The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday.

It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump‘s share was 47 percent.

It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: ‘The cheat is on.’

WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in ‘error’ and that they had been ‘randomly generated’ as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.

Trump is currently leading the state by 0.6 percentage points in an average of the top polls by Real Clear Politics.

Biden won Pennsylvania by the narrowest of margins in 2020, beating Trump by 80,555 votes or 1.17 percent.

Democrats have accused Trump and his allies of laying the groundwork to contest a potential loss by stoking doubts about the election’s legitimacy.

He has portrayed Democrats as cheaters, called mail-in ballots corrupt and urged supporters to vote in such large numbers to render the election ‘too big to rig.’ 

In response to the WNEP-TV broadcast, one person wrote on X: ‘If the same graphics pop up after November 5th, with the same percentages & the same vote count, it’ll be EXTREMELY suspicious. And the media wonders why nobody trusts them?’

Another said: ‘ABC is cheating for the Democrat machine. Their license should be revoked.’ 

In a statement the broadcaster said: ‘Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error by WNEP that they did.

‘The numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results sent out to help news organizations make sure their equipment is working properly in advance of election night.

Congressman Matt Gaetz Says Epstein Was Killed as Part of a ‘Foreign Operation’

Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz says sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was killed as part of a ‘foreign operation’, but refused to divulge which government was responsible for his death.

Gaetz made the comments during an appearance on Benny Johnson’s show.

In August 2019, Epstein was found unresponsive in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City after supposedly committing suicide by hanging.

Multiple violations of normal jail procedures allied with the convenient failure of two cameras in front of Epstein’s cell prompted conspiracy theories suggesting Epstein was murdered in order to keep his high profile client list secret.

At the time, Attorney General William Barr described Epstein’s death as “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” but Gaetz said Barr should be called to testify because “there’s no way the story you’re getting is the real story there, no freakin’ way and Bill Barr knows it.”
