A viewer writes about a strange event he heard described in a group he contacts: “Going back to the Reptilian piece, I’ll describe an experience I had last year which didn’t freak me out but definitely showed me for real that these do exist and make themselves present at times. For one, we can now see those who are blatantly not of this world in their many forms and it is what it is, but this one was unique: I had a call to go and price a wall to plaster a lady’s living room fire breast wall. We agreed a price and date whilst I was there. She instantly picked up that my favorite bird was a Robin. She stopped the conversation to mention this. I thought how nice at the time. I’d been feeding them in the garden that morning and was still glowing from the interaction on arrival to this lady’s house. I find Robins communicate more thoroughly than many other birds so was still buzzing from my exchange with them. She was tall, about 70 years old in appearance, with lily-white hair and piercing green eyes. Whilst I was talking to her, explaining what the work would entail, I noticed she was replying without moving her lips—simple yeses and hmms as I was explaining. I first passed this off as my misinterpretation in the moment and I then prepared to leave. Once all was agreed, she shook my hand, and the palm of her hand felt like plastic to the point I had to look and see what the very different skin-to-skin feel was; it was like she was wearing a latex glove kind of feel; her hand was purple and brown with a sheen to it again. I noticed without it being obvious to her and assumed it’s her age and bruising. I then walked down her drive and got back in my van. She waved from the door and her hand was back to a normal color. I found this weird. Then knew instantly I had to take note and observe more tightly as these noticed signs were not just my imagination. The date soon came round to go do the work. I dropped her a text to confirm I was on my way and she replied with, “I’ll look forward to having you here,” and, “See you soon.” About an hour later I get to the property and there was a folded tea towel hanging from the letter box with a Robin stitched in the corner of it and a note stapled to it reading, “I handmade this for you,” and two kisses xx with her signature. I instantly thought, “Wow, the fun is beginning already!” Returning in observation, I knocked on the door and no answer. I then tried calling her phone to only get a dead line. I knocked a few more times until a neighbor eventually came out and said, “No one lives there, mate! No one’s been in that house for years.” This really took me back. I said, “I was here a couple weeks ago and had agreed to plaster for the owner.” He said, “Well, I don’t know about that but it’s definitely been empty for a good few years now.” When I looked up at the property from getting back in my van it clearly hadn’t been lived in for years, yet when I went to give a quote I met that lady and the house was well kept. I still have the tea towel today. Upon further inspection of the tea towel when I got home, the edging she stitched on was done in the fashion of a snake skin, purple and brown, much like the assumed bruising. Anyway, I tried calling and texting her again but her phone line was completely gone. I’ll never forget this. A couple weeks passed and she began to randomly pop up in my thoughts, replying to questions I was asking myself. She then one day came back into my mind asking if I am bothered by her presence, to which I said, “Yes, and do not consent to it.” She didn’t even reply; she just left my thoughts and that was the last of her.” Can you help us better understand this strange sequence of events and the true meaning of the experience?

In the news is “…a scheme that involved exchanging government SNAP benefits for cash at a discount, selling ineligible items like liquor and beer, and even profiting from “MannaPacks”—humanitarian rice meal packs intended for global aid, which were sold for $8 each. Undercover operations confirmed the fraud, with agents witnessing cash trafficking and noting that the stores generated minimal legitimate revenue. That wasn’t some petty scam; it was part of a massive fraud ring run by Haitian nationals in Boston. At the same time, another scheme operated by Yemeni nationals in New York was busy pulling off a similar heist. Combined, these criminal enterprises are charged with stealing a staggering $27 million in taxpayer-funded food stamps. And that’s just what we know about so far. This isn’t a story about a few bad apples. This is organized crime, plain and simple. Federal authorities say the Boston ring allegedly used comically small convenience stores—we’re talking glorified closets—to launder an incredible $500,000 in SNAP benefits every single month. That’s more than six times what a typical large supermarket processes. Over in Brooklyn, it was the same story, different cast. Yemeni nationals were indicted for a racket that vacuumed up $20 million, using fake and stolen EBT cards from at least ten different states. If this sounds familiar, it should. It’s the same playbook we saw with the massive welfare fraud indictments of Somali nationals in Minnesota. This is a systemic attack on America’s welfare system.” Is this more than ordinary criminality?
