00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:20.399
Broadcast sat stay.
2
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:23.719
In the minds of the people.
3
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.239
I'm gonna talk about some disclosure Day. I watched, went
4
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.000
and watched it. It was a it was an overall
5
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.039
good movie. So I've got something that I wrote to
6
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:46.240
keep my head on straight about my thoughts on this movie,
7
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.560
which again I thought was I thought it was good overall,
8
00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:00.880
but you know, it's it's a movie. So I'm calling
9
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:09.719
this disclosure Day apocalypse with a press release. So for
10
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.000
those that don't know, I'm Benettan and I am the
11
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.799
host of Broadcasting Seeds. Todight, We're gonna do a little
12
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.400
something different. This isn't really it's not a movie review,
13
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:28.200
and I'm not here to tell you whether you should
14
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:33.439
spend your money on a ticket or or whether Steven
15
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:40.519
Spielberg's latest film deserves five stars or two stars. I'm
16
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.280
not other than I thought it was a good movie.
17
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:50.680
What I want to talk about tonight is something much bigger, okay,
18
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.599
And I want to talk about why I think this
19
00:01:54.760 --> 00:02:02.439
movie exists and why now? So why a filmmaker who
20
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.920
has spent nearly fifty years now I mean, what Spielberg
21
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.840
close encounters all the different movies they's maybe e t
22
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:17.639
fifty years exploring humanities. I guess you call it fascination
23
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:25.840
with extraterrestrials. Extraterrestrials would return to the subject in twenty
24
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.479
twenty six, and perhaps perhaps most importantly, what Disclosure Day
25
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:39.560
says about us as people as humans, because after watching
26
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.560
this film, I don't believe it it's really about aliens.
27
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.159
I talked to John Kurlin earlier tonight about it, and
28
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.159
I don't think it's really about aliens. I don't think
29
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:03.199
it's really about UFOs. I mean, I think it's about revelation, uh,
30
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:08.400
and power and about power. I think it's about humanities
31
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.759
standing on the edge of a truth that may not
32
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:18.759
that it may not be prepared to receive. So tonight
33
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:23.680
we're gonna, you know, going a little beyond the movie itself.
34
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.840
And I'm not really going to give any spoilers. H
35
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.719
I kind of intended to maybe, but not not so
36
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:39.120
much so. Uh, I'm gonna, you know, we're going to
37
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.879
talk about Disclosure Day through through a broadcasting Seeds lens,
38
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:48.680
and that lens is a lens of history and of
39
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:55.439
mythology and faith. I through the parent you know, paranormal
40
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.439
stuff and and a lens that I pay a lot
41
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:04.199
of attention to is the lens of power. So I
42
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.000
guess we'll just get into it. One of the first
43
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.240
things that struck me about this movie was how familiar
44
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.519
it felt. I've watched Steven Spielberg movies for like I said,
45
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.839
you know, forty years or so, I'm fifty two, and
46
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:29.279
I remember, I think I've seen every movie he's ever made.
47
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.519
And it felt familiar, not because it copies other films,
48
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.720
but because it reflected conversations that have been happening in
49
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.920
the UFO community for years. Think about that. For decades,
50
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:52.120
disclosure has it's been considered fringe and the territory of
51
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.759
late night radio shows. I mean, I'm a kid that
52
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:02.079
grew up with Coast to coast AM and this lived there,
53
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:10.439
conspiracy researchers and independent investigators, and frankly, when this all
54
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.560
kind of went down, like when I was young, people dismissed,
55
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:21.399
dismissed this stuff as crackpots and dreamers. But then something changed,
56
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:28.720
like something's been progressively changing. Now we have congressional hearings
57
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:33.560
about it. Military videos have been released, not enough, and
58
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.079
I don't think the real videos, or at least I
59
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.839
think there's a lot more there, But we've also had
60
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:50.240
whistleblower step forward, mainstream news organizations begin discussing UFOs openly
61
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.199
and having segments on it, and the conversation moved from
62
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:01.439
fringe to more of center. Right, and Spielberg has released
63
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:06.240
a movie called Disclosure Day. I mean, it doesn't get
64
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.319
any more in your face than that, considering all the
65
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:16.040
disclosure that we've had, right, I mean, that alone should
66
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:23.680
make you stop and think, because Hollywood doesn't create stories
67
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.560
in a vacuum. They just don't. Stories emerge out of
68
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:35.680
culture from culture, and they reflect what society is already
69
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:43.439
wrestling with. And right now our society is wrestling with disclosure.
70
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.360
A lot of people are a lot of people don't
71
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.120
know what the hell we're talking about either. So this
72
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.279
is one of those things where this movie, I think,
73
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.040
is going to kind of peel the lid off of
74
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.639
a can a little bit. But the central theme of
75
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:06.959
the film, in my estimation, is really it's not even aliens,
76
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:13.839
it's information and who controls it, who owns that information,
77
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.480
and who reveals it decides when the public is ready
78
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.199
to know the truth, like who that's what it's And
79
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.639
throughout history, power has often rested not with those who
80
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.279
possess the truth necessarily, but with those who control the
81
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:42.959
access to it. Kings understood this, Priests understand this as well.
82
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:49.720
Governments understand this. Corporations and executives absolutely understand this, and
83
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:57.279
the gatekeepers. The gatekeeper is often more powerful than the discoverer,
84
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.279
period and that's one of the most interesting aspects of
85
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:10.560
the movie. The enemy isn't an invading alien force, and
86
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.040
the obstacle that we've got across isn't a hostile civilization
87
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:21.560
right from another star coming inbound. The obstacle is actually
88
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:29.040
secrecy itself. The obstacle is the system and the machinery
89
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:35.720
that decides what reality the public is allowed to see.
90
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.320
And that idea should sound familiar with all the people
91
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:44.919
in this niche and genre, because whether you're talking about
92
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:53.159
UFOs or classified programs, hidden history and intelligence operations, and
93
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.399
even bring it into like financial corruption and political narratives,
94
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:07.639
we consistently find ourselves asking the same questions, and the
95
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.519
biggest one is who is controlling the story. Now, let's
96
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.799
talk about the word disclosure. Disclosure day, right, Let's talk
97
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.039
about the word disclosure, which is to me, it's a
98
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:30.440
fascinating word. Because disclosure isn't discovery. Discovery happens when something
99
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:36.159
is found, okay, But disclosure happens when something is revealed.
100
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:43.720
And that's a huge difference, a huge deferential. Discovery implies ignorance,
101
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:51.720
right we are not. Disclosure implies knowledge already existed somewhere.
102
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:57.559
I don't know somewhere. I guess, yeah, somebody knew about this,
103
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:04.159
and somebody has access that they're not sharing, right, holding
104
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:09.440
the information, and now some of that is being released.
105
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.960
That distinction matters, especially to me. I think it does
106
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:22.879
because the movie isn't asking whether humanity discovers another intelligence.
107
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:28.960
The movie's actually asking what happens when humanity learns that
108
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:36.600
somebody already knew and that changes at all. Because people
109
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:43.360
can process a mystery. What they struggle the process and
110
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.360
I hear it all the time. What they struggle the
111
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:51.679
process is betrayal. I mean, we very much feel betrayed.
112
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.559
The idea that the truth was available the whole time,
113
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.080
all along, but hidden behind walls of secrecy that drives
114
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:06.960
people insane. So this this brings us to one of
115
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.440
the most fascinating spiritual ideas hidden inside this movie, the
116
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:21.600
concept of apocalypse. Now when most people hear that word,
117
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:27.679
they think about destruction, uh and the end of the world,
118
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.200
fire and judgment and chaos. But that's that's not what
119
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:37.039
that word. That's not what apocalypse actually means. It's not
120
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.919
what it originally meant. The Greek word apocalypse apocalypse with it,
121
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:46.519
but it's spelled with a C or a K, not
122
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.440
a C and a y. You know what I mean.
123
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:56.559
It's spelled different, but that means unveiling or or like revelation,
124
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.600
the removal of a vain an apocalypse and apocalypse is
125
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:10.120
actually an uncovering and a revealing of hidden things, and
126
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:15.240
viewed through that lens, Disclosure Day is an apocalyptic story,
127
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:20.639
not because the world ends, but because the veil is
128
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:28.360
lifted and the old reality dies and a new reality emerges.
129
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.320
That process throughout time. Again, we talk about patterns all
130
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.720
the time on the show, and that pattern is always
131
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:47.480
that process is always traumatic, because every revelation destroys something,
132
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.519
every truth kills a lie, and every unveiling ends a
133
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.600
previous understanding of the world. Think about that, Think about
134
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.639
how he humanity reacts whenever a major paradigm shifts.
135
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:04.440
Right.
136
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:08.559
We We've lived through plenty in this the last you know,
137
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:13.840
decade to two decades when people discovered the Earth wasn't
138
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.279
the center of the universe. Now, I don't want the
139
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.519
flat earthers and I don't want the heliocentric. I don't
140
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.960
want to cause a fight over what you know. Oh no,
141
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.399
you live under the fermaent. Just bear with me. I'm
142
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:33.519
running with I'm talking to everyone here. Okay. So when
143
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.360
people discovered the Earth wasn't the center of the universe, right,
144
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.919
that was a paradigm shift. When continents were shown that
145
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:47.200
they actually moved, or you know, plate tectonics, whether or
146
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:54.759
not you believe in that is not the point. Another one, germs,
147
00:13:55.919 --> 00:14:01.320
When germs were discovered, right when DNA was understood, or
148
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.559
you know, we're still getting into that. But when DNA
149
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.879
has been understood and the genome was mapped, and when
150
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.679
when we split it, when we split the atom for
151
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:19.039
the first time and nuclear power emerged, every major revelation
152
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:25.120
disrupted the existing order in place. Okay, Now, imagine a
153
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:31.600
revelation that humanity is not alone. I mean, some people
154
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.720
know it already, but or I guess you could say,
155
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:42.000
perhaps more accurately, imagine they're being proof. No theories not
156
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:48.120
blurry videos or the actual proof, right, what would happen?
157
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.200
Would people celebrate, I'm sure some would. Would people panic
158
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:05.639
again saying would religion collapse? Would religions collapse maybe? Or
159
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:13.519
would they adapt? Would governments maintain authority? Markets? Think about again?
160
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.360
I keep going back to financials. Would markets survive and
161
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.879
society become more Would we become more united since we
162
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:27.799
have this thing to unite around or more divided? These
163
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:35.320
are questions that sit underneath in this movie. Now let's
164
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.200
step outside the movie for a moment, because one thing
165
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.759
I found particularly interesting is the timing. And I'm sure
166
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:49.480
that I'm not alone in this at all. We're living
167
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:56.159
in a moment where disclosures discussions of non human intelligence
168
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:02.080
are no longer confined to fringe communities. We started this
169
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:07.799
episode that way. Former intelligence offers. Officers have spoken out publicly,
170
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.120
regardless of whether you believe their ops or not. Again,
171
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.080
doesn't matter. Military personnel have spoken publicly. Members of Congress
172
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:24.759
have spoken publicly. Government agencies have acknowledged phenomenon that were
173
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:31.519
once dismissed. Whether you believe those claims or not is
174
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:36.799
absolutely beside the point. The fact that the conversation is
175
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:46.279
happening at all is significant. The Overton window has absolutely shifted,
176
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:54.039
and the boundaries of acceptable discussion have expanded, and this
177
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.120
movie arrives in the middle of that shift, and I think, again,
178
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.080
I'm going to say it. I think it's going to
179
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.319
cause a lot of people to possibly open their eyes.
180
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:10.799
That makes it culturally important, whether it's factually accurate or not.
181
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:16.920
Now I want to ask the question that I suspect
182
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:23.599
many of my listeners have already been asking, what exactly
183
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:29.319
are we dealing with? And if disclosure were to happen tomorrow,
184
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:40.200
what would be disclosed? Aliens, interdimensional beings, advanced civilization, spiritual entities,
185
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.200
something we don't even have language for yet, maybe right.
186
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:50.680
One thing that I've learned after I figured it out today,
187
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:55.720
I've got something like eight hundred plus interviews that I've done.
188
00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:00.960
Now they're not all about this subject, but done hundreds.
189
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:06.880
Learned after hundreds of interviews is that the categories don't
190
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:13.599
stay separate for very long. So talk to UFO researchers
191
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:19.200
long enough and you'll hear stories that sound paranormal, And
192
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.279
talk to paranormal investigators long enough and you'll hear stories
193
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:29.400
that sound spiritual. Talk to cryptid researchers long enough, and
194
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:34.559
you'll hear stories that overlap with both. All the boundaries
195
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:39.559
begin to blur. I say this ad nauseum, they all rhyme.
196
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.799
And that's where this all becomes interesting, because maybe the
197
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:50.359
biggest assumption we make is that the phenomenon fits neatly
198
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:56.000
into a category we already understand. But I don't think
199
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.920
it does. Maybe it doesn't for those of us who
200
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:07.359
approach these subjects I'm gonna go here through a Biblical worldview,
201
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:15.640
that question becomes even more important because Scripture contains its
202
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:22.920
own accounts of strange beings, messengers and watchers, principalities and powers,
203
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:31.319
spiritual entities that interact with humanity, kind of like aliens. Now,
204
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.839
before anyone misunderstands me, I'm not saying the movie is
205
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:41.599
secretly telling a Biblical story, although there is some religious
206
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:47.400
context in it from it's a Catholic kind of thing.
207
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.279
But either way, what I am saying is is that
208
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.240
humanity was always wrestling with the possibility that we are
209
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:02.519
not alone. Okay, that idea? Think about that. That idea
210
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:09.240
pre day to modern Ufo culture by literally thousands of years.
211
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:15.799
The names have changed and the descriptions change and the
212
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.799
interpretations change, but the question remains, who else is here?
213
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:28.119
That goes across cultures, goes across continents like every other thing,
214
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.960
And that may be the most important question raised by
215
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:41.920
disclosure days. Not whether disclosure is actually coming, and not
216
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:46.359
even whether aliens exist, not whether governments are hiding that
217
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:52.880
information either. The biggest question is, in my opinion, if
218
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:58.200
the veil is lifted, who do we discover standing on
219
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:08.799
the other side? Because that answer changes everything. So as
220
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.720
I sat and watched that movie, it couldn't help thinking
221
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:21.359
about how often humanity seeks revelation while simultaneously fearing it. Yeah,
222
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.079
I guess that's so great. That's a good way to
223
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:28.640
put it. We want we always want answers and certainty.
224
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.079
We're always looking for a mystery to be solved. Right,
225
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:41.480
But what if the answer is bigger then we're societally,
226
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.480
culturally humanity is prepared for. What if it's bigger than
227
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.519
we're prepared for. What if disclosure isn't comforting at all?
228
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.000
What if it's destabilizing. I think a lot of us
229
00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:03.920
think it would be destabilizing. What if it creates more
230
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:10.319
questions than it answers? I mean history suggests that is
231
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:15.200
exactly what would happen, because every major revelation in human
232
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:22.759
history has expanded the mystery rather than eliminating it. That's
233
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.880
why I think this movie matters, not because it predicts
234
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:29.400
the future by any stretch of imagination, not because it
235
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:36.200
confirms any theory. And it's not that I think Spielberg
236
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.240
knows something we don't, but he might you never know.
237
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:44.799
But it matters because it reflects a growing cultural obsession,
238
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:52.000
an obsession with hidden truths and secret knowledge, with revelation,
239
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:59.559
with disclosure. The movie functions almost like a mirror, and
