As the country with the fastest growing GDP in the world, China has been a mounting concern for western officials and citizens alike for decades now. But have you ever wondered to what extent the US is being co-opted, undermined, and compromised?
How is TikTok being weaponized? How are elites like Hunter Biden, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and Neil Bush in bed with agents of the Chinese Communist Party (for the latter quite literally)? Why are the Chinese putting rovers on the dark side of the moon? What about the “Chinese spy balloon” that was shot down over the US last year? Is the Chinese military preparing for an all-out cyber war?
And why is the CCP allowing an overtly anti-communist themed trilogy of books in that of The Three Body Problem (now a massive hit show on Netflix) to be widely distributed in their highly-censored country? Are these books acclimatizing the populace to alien life and/or is it soft recruitment for the Chinese Space Force? This is what my friend and UFO Whistleblower David Grusch speculates while claiming that China, the US, and Russia are all in a Cold War-style arms race for reverse engineering alien craft. If World War II was about who controls the skies, would World War III be about who controls outer space?
To try and get the full picture, I sat down with these two experts:
Michael Paul Pillsbury is a foreign policy strategist, author, and former public official in the United States. He is a senior fellow for China strategy at The Heritage Foundation and has been Director of the Center on Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., since 2014.
Josh Rogin is an American journalist currently serving as a foreign policy columnist for the Global Opinions section of The Washington Post and a political analyst for CNN. He is author of the book Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the 21st Century.

Diana Pasulka is a religious studies professor at UNC Wilmington who has written three books: Heaven Can Wait, American Cosmic and Encounters (links below). The first was about Catholic purgatory and when Pasulka began documenting historical accounts of “divine” or “angelic” visitations in the Catholic tradition she started to notice commonalities among them and modern alien and UFO experiences. Thus began her documentation of the modern religious aspects of the UFO phenomenon along with her journey into classified secret aerospace work in the United States. Her book Encounters served to destigmatize “disclosure” as a global, transhistorical phenomenon that transcends our myopic western frame.
It was an honor and a privilege to have her on American Alchemy!

David Grusch is a former 14-year high ranking intelligence officer who left government in early '23 to blow the whistle on UFO’s. In 2019, he was tasked by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and Pentagon to investigate UFO’s as part of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon Task Force (or UAPTF). In that context, he slowly started to uncover a covert UFO reverse engineering program being concealed from the civilian government. In June of '23, he outed himself to the public. In July of '23, he testified before Congress. We sat down for hours and talked about the entire history of UFO's, UFO and Atomic secrecy, Presidents and their relationships to UFO's and the insane world of Anti-Gravity research.

Graham Hancock is an unrelenting journalist uncovering the origins of humanity’s forgotten past. His new docuseries on Netflix is called Ancient Apocalypse and it documents the abundance of evidence that humanity is much older than the prevailing belief among mainstream archeologists. Most people believe civilization was started a mere 6,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Graham explores various archeological sites across the globe that show in fact our civilization is much older than this. In this raw longform interview we discuss the secrets of Atlantis, the ark of the covenant, DMT as a window into the spirit world and of course, UFOs and aliens.
Go watch ancient apocalypse on Netflix!!

Jacque Vallee is the legendary French UFO researcher who formed the basis for Steven Spielberg's eccentric scientist in Close Encounters of The Third Kind. He has worked with every prominent player in UFOology since the 60's including Dr. J. Alan Hynek who served as the Chief Science Advisor to project Blue Book, the Airforce's UFO investigation program from 52'-69'. Vallee has written multiple groundbreaking books that suggest "aliens" are actually interdimensional entities codirecting human evolution, not new visitors from Space. In this interview, he makes some fascinating new suggestions around the nature of these entities; we also discuss a real, secret project behind Project Bluebook, his model of reality and time and the commercial group that holds the secrets to the American UFO story.
Go out and buy his new book, Trinity! shorturl.at/epsIW

I spoke to @RedPandaKoala and former AATIP (Gov't UFO program) director Lue Elizondo about the bizarre connection between Nukes and UFOs. Why do these mysterious flying objects consistently show up around around American nuke stockpiles and enrichment sites? We get into the work of journalist Robert Hastings who has documented 100+ cases and we also speculate on some of the reasons behind the strange connection. Spoiler alert: the lame explanations you've been given are probably not right!

Blake Lemoine is the recently fired Senior Software Engineer at Google who went public this summer with his concerns around Google’s natural language system LAMDA. Blake thinks LAMDA is both sentient and shouldn’t be under the sole supervision of a private corporation. This provoked a deep, philosophical conversation about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, what will happen with AI, whether it’s aligned with human values and whether human reality is simulated. I think you’ll love this episode! 🙏🏻

Martin Shkreli is America’s most hated pharma bro. In 2015 he bought daraprim which treats HIV and AIDS induced toxoplasmosis and raised the price dramatically. When questioned, he trolled reporters and the public, while actually accommodating a large majority of requests that needed the drug more cheaply. In doing this, he exposed behavior engaged in constantly by big pharma. In this episode, we talk heterodox health, biology and general science.
