NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN SPECIES OF 1,000-YEAR-OLD HUMANOIDS RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN PERU, TO BE PRESENTED TO THE MEDIA BY UNIQUE TEAM OF SCIENTISTS, UFOLOGISTS AND AWARD-WINNING INVESTIGATIVE FILMMAKERS DURING LOS ANGELES PRESS CONFERENCE TO BE LIVE STREAMED AROUND THE WORLD   Los Angeles, March 12, 2024 – In January 2024, two award-winning, Los Angeles-based investigative filmmakers, Serena DC and Michael Mazzola, took a trip together down to Mexico City to prove that the “alien mummies” which had been presented by iconic Mexican Investigator Jaime Maussan in Mexico City on September 13, 2023, before the Mexican Congress were, indeed fakes. Much to their surprise, DC and Mazzola discovered that the bodies Mr. Maussan had presented there that day were, in fact, A NEW SPECIES OF HUMANOID PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO SCIENCE! Following Mr. Maussan's presentation on 9/13/23 in Mexico City, Peruvian officials went to great lengths to discredit his “bodies” by conflating them with “other bodies” – dolls, in fact -- which had been created by an artist. Then claiming that Mr. Maussan presented “dolls” at his event, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture succeeded in generating a massive amount of negative media attention around the world, discrediting both the legitimacy of Mr. Maussan's “bodies” and Mr. Maussan, himself. Today, at a Global Press Conference at The Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA, Serena DC and Michael Mazzola were joined by Mr. Jaime Maussan, inventor Adam Michael Curry, Peruvian Journalist Jois Mantilla, Dr. José de Jesús Zalce Benítez, Dr. Roger Zuñiga, Dr. Ricardo Manuel Anicama Pardo, Manuel Natividad Cruz Torres, Dr Juan Jose Rodriguez Lazo, Dr. Edgar Martin Hernandez, Dr. David Ruiz, and Dr. Rafael Arcangel Berrocal Ramos who collectively refuted the claims of “fake alien bodies.” This unique Team presented to the Media and to the World that Mr. Maussan's original two bodies, along with an additional five bodies discovered recently in a cave in Peru, HAVE BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED TO BE A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN SPECIES OF HUMANOIDS LIVING ON EARTH, 1,000 YEARS AGO. During the Press Conference, the Team live streamed scientists from four locations in Mexico and Peru who demonstrated in real time scientific analyses and live body scans of these never-seen-before bodies. Some of these bodies are even believed to contain some ancient technology, for which Metallurgical Expert and Engineer Dr Manuel Torres provided expert testimony. “This is a once in a lifetime press event, where reporters will be the first people on Earth to see these incredible beings and judge for themselves if they were once living creatures or ‘fakes.' After we present the mind-blowing forensic evidence behind these creatures, the true origins of these mysterious creatures will be open for discussion,” said DC and Mazzola. Regarding the September 2023 revelation of “alien mummies,” acclaimed Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, on February 29, 2024, during an interview with 60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl, said, “We have to at least bring out the evidence. They did that in Mexico. That was an important first step – you present the evidence, then you send samples of it to other labs to verify or falsify your claims. That's how science works.” “We went down to Mexico to prove that these now infamous ‘alien mummies' were nothing but a fraud,” Serena DC and Michael Mazzola said. “But we immediately became aware that Peruvian officials and the media were pushing this as a fraud, not Jaime Maussan and not these scientists. Our press conference today is being presented to address all of the lies and misinformation about this topic that have been reported, around the world, since last September. Our goal is to hopefully set the record straight. These bodies are a significant archeological find – they are either an extinct, unknown species or the result of various genetic experiments from 1000 years ago, or something else we haven't considered. But they aren't dolls. And how could early humans have performed those genetic experiments 1000 years ago?” DC and Mazzola continue, “We have teamed up with a group of brilliant scientists, all of whom have been on the same quest as us – to discover the true origins of this new species. At today's press conference, our team of decorated scientists and forensics experts will be unveiling these ancient bodies, some of which stand about 4-feet tall. One of these scientists is Dr Jose Zlace, who has pointed out that “these tridactyl bodies correspond to biological and organic beings, with a harmonious and functional anatomical structure without traces of alteration or manipulation, being completely authentic, the DNA results corroborate their authenticity and at the same time demonstrate their differentiation to any Known species in Darwin's Taxonomy." Therefore, for Dr. Zalce we are faced with extraordinary bodies that could represent a paradigm shift in what is known and described by science as we currently know it. Dr Zlace states: "We need to protect these bodies from their natural degradation in order to preserve them and further deepen their study and understanding by the world's scientific community. These bodies of 3 different species are something extraordinary that must be treated with the necessary respect and objectivity so that humanity understands that we are facing something that could completely change our own conception and understanding as human beings.”  ABOUT THE BODIES: The bodies of several unidentified species recently discovered in a remote cave in South America have just been analyzed by American scientists who are ready to come forward with their shocking findings. The bodies, which have been carbon dated to be around 1,000 years old, have had extensive scans and DNA testing done to them. The results of these tests have revealed these facts: ** The bodies appear to be the result of highly sophisticated genetic experiments that were not possible to be performed by early humans in 1000 AD. ** Mysterious DNA: Analysis indicates that 30% of their genetic material remains unidentified, presenting a profound mystery about their existence and origin.** Unique Physiological Traits: Exhibiting tridactyl hands and feet, alongside atypical anthropometric features – these beings challenge the very framework of biological evolution. Scientists are convinced that they have discovered a brand-new species of beings who were sentient, intelligent and who walked the Earth 1,000 years ago. However, there is no record of these creatures in the history books, leaving the scientific community with more questions than answers. PRESENT AT TODAY'S PRESS EVENT: Iconic Mexican Journalist Jaime Maussan Award Winning Investigative Filmmaker Serena DC Award Winning Investigative Filmmaker Michael Mazzola Journalist Jois Mantilla Dr. José de Jesús Zalce Benítez:Lieutenant Colonel of the Mexican Navy; Naval Surgeon, former Head of Health Research and Development for the Mexican Navy. Dr. Roger Zuñiga:Anthropologist/Research Director, University of IcaLed 12-person scientific team investigating the bodies Dr. Ricardo Manuel Anicama Pardo:Head, Neck, and Maxillofacial SurgeonCurrent Chief of the Head and Neck Surgery Department at the National Hospital Edgardo Rebagliati Martins Manuel Natividad Cruz Torres:Engineer and Metalurgical expert who analyzed the “technology” inside the bodies Dr Juan Jose Rodriguez Lazo:Renowned expert in hand micro-surgery Dr. Edgar Martin HernandezPhD Biologist Adam Michael CurryConsciousness researcher, technology executive, and frontier science advocate. Dr. David Ruiz:Plastic Surgeon & Forensic Expert Dr. Rafael Arcangel Berrocal Ramos:Lawyer who will comment on the judicial gaps in the constitutional framework around the unidentified anomalous bodies Credentials of Dr. José de Jesús Zalce Benítez: • Lieutenant Colonel of the Mexican Navy.• Naval Surgeon, graduate of the Naval Medical School of the Ministry of the Navy, Mexican Navy.• Master's Degree in Forensic Medicine, graduate of the Military School of Health Graduates of the Mexican Army.• Diploma in Aerospace Medicine, Mexican Air Force of the Mexican Army.• Diploma in Forensic Anthropology, National School of Anthropology and History.• Medical Strategic Leadership Program, Center of Medical Excellence, United States Army, Fort Sam San Antonio, Texas, USA.• Former Director of the Institute of Health Sciences Research of the Ministry of the Navy.• Former Director of Medical Procurement and Supplies of the General Directorate of Naval Health of the Ministry of the Navy.• Former Deputy Director of Inspection of Naval Health Establishments of the Inspection and General Comptroller of the Navy.• Former Head of Legal and Forensic Medicine of the Mexican Navy.• Forensic Medical Expert of the General Military Justice Prosecutor's Office.• Forensic Medical Expert and medical expert for Naval command consultancy.• Former Advisor to the Naval Intelligence Unit and the Special Operations Unit of the Navy. Dr. José de Jesús Zalce Benítez's summary of ANALYSIS OF THE NAZCA BODIES: - Body known as Maria, approximately 168 centimeters tall, with tridactyl hands and feet with 5 phalanges on each finger, with linear fingerprints on the fingers, without apparent traces of mammary glands, navel, or external genitals, elongated skull vertically with approximately 30% greater volume capacity inside, eye sockets larger than the average recorded in an adult human, without apparent auricular pavilion.

The White House formally rejected former President Trump's latest request to assert executive privilege to shield a subset of documents that had been requested by lawmakers on the House committee investigating the January 6 attack. In a letter from White House counsel Dana Remu it said President Biden “maintains his conclusion that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified as to any of the documents provided to the White House on September 8, 2021." Elie Honig is a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and a CNN legal analyst. He tells Anderson Cooper that Trump has “two options. One, he can do nothing and let it be which means 30 days from now, those documents go over to the committee” or two Trump can “ask a court to block those documents from going over” but “that's a serious uphill climb, legally.” Plus, 90-year-old William Shatner made history as the oldest person to go to space and said it was the “most profound experience.” Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson joins AC360 to discuss Captain Kirk's journey to the edge of outer space.   Airdate: October 13, 2021   Guests: Elie Honig Neil deGrasse Tyson To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

[50:09] Don’t completely get out of the market [52:35] What’s happening with the oil industry [55:07] Do we need this wake-up call? Is the Coronavirus the next Spanish Flu? The media has started comparing the coronavirus pandemic to the 1918 Spanish flu. Jim points out that we can’t compare events that are 102 years apart, but that they have a similarity: they both are a ‘super-spreading event’. As soldiers started returning home at the end of World War I, they brought the flu with them and spread it worldwide. With the modern convenience of air travel, we are engaging in the modern-day equivalent of a super-spreading event. We could see wide-ranging effects similar to that of the Spanish Flu, but only time will tell. Precautions you should consider Jim and I discussed some common questions being asked by everyone concerned. Should you wear a mask? Globally, everyone appears to be donning masks. However, Jim points out that there’s no point in wearing them unless you’re sick. They help prevent droplets from your mouth reaching other people. It can help aid you to remember to stop touching your face and spreading the virus that way. Don’t hoard masks. You should leave them available for those who are sick and medical professionals on the front-lines. Is Purell effective? Purell is not as effective as washing your hands. Another downside is that it appears to be sold out everywhere. While hand-sanitizer IS better than nothing, it won’t kill a strain of bacteria called ‘Clostridium Difficile’. The bottom line? Surgeons don’t purell their hands before surgery, they scrub them with soap and water. Do the same. What do you do if you think you’ve contracted the Coronavirus? Firstly, do not go to the emergency room. If you don’t have the virus, the likelihood of it increases by stepping foot in an ER. Call your doctor or take advantage of any virtual care afforded you. Some retail giants are now setting up drive-in testing sites at their stores. What are the symptoms of the virus? The two prevailing symptoms are a fever and a cough (which can be difficult to differentiate from the flu, bronchitis, the common cold, etc.) How do I avoid catching the virus? The easiest way is to limit unnecessary travel and attendance at large events (most sporting or music events have already been canceled). What do you do if you HAVE been diagnosed with COVID-19? It’s best practice to quarantine yourself and wear a mask to prevent spreading it to others. A technical discussion on the spread and mortality rate of the virus ‘R0’ (pronounced ‘R-nought’) is an equation that indicates how quickly an infectious disease could spread. Another way to phrase it is the average number of people who will catch a disease from a single infected person. The best-case scenario is the R0 stays below 1—signifying that the spread will likely die-out. If it rises anywhere above 1 it is likely to continue spreading. We must preface this by pointing out that this is a variable and multiple factors impact this number daily. If people practice social distancing and isolate themselves if infectious, it can lower the R0 range. At the time of recording, COVID-19 is at an R0 range of 1.4-3.9 with a variable fatality rate anywhere from 0.7% (in South Korea) to 5% (in Italy). Taking an optimistic viewpoint of the R0 and fatality rate calculation—based on today’s numbers—we could be looking at the possibility of 285,000 people dying from the virus. If you calculate it with a 3.9 R0 and a 1% fatality rate—we could be looking at 2.4 million people (in the United States) dying. It is concerning, which is why the government is taking action to slow the spread of the virus. The more precautions we take to slow the spread, the lower the R0 will fall—lowering the number of people potentially impacted. How the coronavirus could impact your portfolio Everyone is wondering—is the market going to crash? Are we about to see a recession? I believe the probability is high. The window of opportunity is open and the Coronavirus is an outside catalyst that could push our market over the edge. A few months ago, this virus didn’t exist. Suddenly, it plunged the entire world into chaos. So how should you move forward with your investment strategy if there is an impending recession? Firstly, you must always have a well-defined investment strategy. Humans are emotional about money. We work hard for it and feel the need to protect it—which can lead to poor financial decisions. So please find someone who knows what they’re doing to guide you. Gain a basic understanding of how the economy works. Whatever you do, it is probably not wise to go completely out of the market. If you know what you’re doing and have a good investment strategy you’re looking at probabilities. The average portfolio is a 60/40 split between stocks and bonds. If you are 100% sure that a recession is coming, a defensive strategy would be to shift your portfolio to a 50/50 split. It can protect you in a downturn and psychologically helps alleviate your worry. The bottom line is we don’t know what’s going to happen. The R0 could drop significantly, slowing the spread of the virus. We could see a vaccine come to market quickly. Warmer weather could slow the spread of the virus (similar to how the flu slows). The Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson stated “We’re in the middle of a very important experiment worldwide. The question is—will people listen to scientists?”. So stay educated, prepared, and vigilant. Don’t let the mass media misinform you or incite fear. Above all, listen to the people who actually know what they’re talking about—scientists.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast from (03/09/20), Hank provides a commentary on the space history series Cosmos, whose third season is premiering tonight. Carl Sagan, who created the original Cosmos in the 1980s, opened the series with the infamous line “The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be” and said that “We're made of star stuff.” The reboot is hosted by Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson who follows in his mentor's train by repeating the predilection that we are but stardust blowing in the wind, and as such, we are one not with our creator, but one with a cold and impersonal cosmos. Beneath all the glitz and glamour of a high-definition television production lurks seven naturalistic assumptions replete with their devastating implications, which Hank goes over in detail. Hank also answers the following questions: Is there any biblical precedent for being slain in the spirit?I was in an argument with someone who insisted that the Bible is the word of God; what's your position on this?Is Song of Solomon referring to a relationship between husband and wife, or is it referring to God and his people?Are you working on any books or resources that have distilled the mountain of writings from the early church fathers?

By overwhelming majorities, human beings have faith in the afterlife. While fewer Americans believe in God, as many as 80% still believe in life after death. Surprisingly, this includes one-in-three agnostics and atheists. According to the Roper Center for Public Opinion the numbers have stayed stable in recent decades.Does this human refusal to accept that all we have is the here-and-now lead to a dangerous belief in religious fantasies and utopia? Do we chase after myths while ignoring practical steps we could take now to improve life for ourselves and others?Our guest, Michael Shermer, is the publisher of Skeptic Magazine and the author of the new book "Heavens on Earth: The Scientific Search for the Afterlife, Immortality, and Utopia." Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson calls him "a beacon of reason in an ocean of irrationality."Michael walks us through efforts by "techno-optimists" to extend life hundreds of years into the future, from cryonic suspension-- efforts to freeze our brains with all of their neural connects and memories in tact-- to transhumanists, who want to transform us into super-humans.He is profoundly skeptical of these well-funded efforts, saying that all we have is the present. "Make today count," Michael tells us. "Make every relationship you have count. Make your interactions with community, strangers and society count in just a tiny little bit."

January 29, 2017 - Segment 3 - We hosted my 2012 interview with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, about his fascinating book Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a celebrity astrophysicist (yes - that's a thing!), author, Director of The Hayden Planetarium in NYC, host of "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" on Fox and the "Star Talk" radio show, and the guy we love to blame for Pluto not being a planet anymore. On this episode of YLM, Rachel talks with one of the greatest scientific voices of our time about his love of melted butter, the time he almost became a stripper, and what foods Neil would take with him if he could travel to space. Speaking of space travel, former NASA Astronaut & Hubble Space Telescope repairman Mike Massimino (author of "Spaceman: An Astronaut's Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe") tells Rachel all about eating in zero gravity, the last meal he ate before his first shuttle launch, and what food options are available for a crew orbiting Earth. SPOILER: There is definitely steak in space! Thanks also to lobster expert Barton Seaver, author of "For Cod and Country."

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson returns for this episode of Rationally Speaking, with a particular question to discuss: Should he call himself an atheist? The impetus is a recent dust-up over Neil's appearance on Big Think, in which he explained that he avoids the label "atheist" because it causes people to make all sorts of unflattering (and often untrue) assumptions. Julia and Massimo reply with some counterarguments, and along the way delve into the philosophy of language.
