If you grew up as a baby boomer, anytime you see a giant ceremonial check, your mind likely drifts to the Publishers Clearing House and their prize patrol. Their contest forms have been found in our mailboxes for decades. The PCH is the latest iconic American company to file for bankruptcy. But they don't plan on going away. Back in the late 1990s, they began pivoting toward the internet. While they continued to use the postal service to deliver their direct mail pieces, with this bankruptcy they're killing off the mail business. You'll still have chances to win, but everything will be strictly online...

An end of an era: Publishers Clearing House is bankrupt, Headline of the week contender: Stranger has sex with corpse on Manhattan subway train, body robbed twice, Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 says he may have been responsible for the capture of Saddam Hussein

The weekend has finally arrived. And I'm still not 100%. Feeling a bit better than yesterday, but still coughing up chunky phlegm and dealing with stuffy sinus issues. Blech. Maybe some time outside in the warmer temps this weekend will help. Normally on a Friday, Doc would join us by phone, but with Jean in Nashville, he decided to join me in the studio this morning for the entire show, including his weekly Racing Report thanks to County Materials in Holmen. In the news this morning, a deadly helicopter crash in New York yesterday, bridge inspections in the Eau Claire area begin next week, Wisconsin school districts will not be complying with a directive from the Trump administration to eliminate DEI programs, Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler will not run for reelection, road construction on I-90/94 near the Dells begins next week, and Publishers Clearing House is filing for bankruptcy. In sports, the Brewers lost to the Rockies yesterday, but the Bucks got their sixth win in a row last night by beating the Pelicans. Day one of the Masters ended yesterday with Justin Rose in the lead, Alexander Ovechkin got a hero's welcome in Washington last night, and a few NFL refs have been demoted by the league. Elsewhere in sports, a golfer at the Masters was caught peeing in a creek on the course during play, and a bunch of new & mixed-gender events are coming to the LA Olympics in 2028. We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's in theaters. And check out these heroic state troopers who were able to locate a missing child by helicopter. In the most obvious news of all time, whacking off before bed can help you have a better night's sleep. Tomorrow is "National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day", so we discussed some stats on one of our favorite sammies. And in other food news, a restaurant in South Carolina has a S'mores/Oyster hybrid on it's menu. Sounds disgusting. Betty White lived a very long time and most of us know that a daily hot dog was one of her secrets to a long life. But apparently, she also admitted that some vodka & chocolate cake in the morning might have helped. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a DUI in Iowa involving some construction equipment, a guy in China who loved sniffing his smelly socks so much that he developed a lung infection, a woman who called AAA to fix her flat tire after the cops used spike-strips on her car during a high speed chase, an assistant principal who got a foot massage from a student, and a former judge who shot her ex-husband AND her ex-boyfriend.

Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Superlatively Yes Podcast, Jennifer and I discuss various topics ranging from awards and personal achievements to fashion insights and conspiracy theories. We get tickled by our personal experiences with award-winning and losing, discuss a trending TikTok personality, and talk about what we are currently watching, including shows like Severance. Also, Jen tells me some very disappointing news about the Publishers Clearing House. We also explore the significance of awards and recognition in both personal and professional contexts. We reflect on our own achievements, the prestige of major awards like the Nobel Peace Prize and the Pulitzer Prize, and the journey of creativity in writing. Of course, we give made-up awards to one another for home management and finding lost items. Most importantly, we discuss the importance of acknowledging personal achievements, embracing flaws, and letting go of unnecessary competition. The conversation also touches on the significance of remembering others, the challenges of consumer culture, and the journey of personal growth and resilience. Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

The Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes is famous for showing up at winners' homes with a giant check and transforming lives. So when Kathy receives a call from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House, saying that she's the next lucky winner, she begins dreaming of all the good she can do for her friends and family. However, after several months of empty promises and tens of thousands of dollars in “taxes” that she must pay upfront, a concerned neighbor convinces Kathy to go to the police.

Frank Salajcik of Adkins is surprised Aug. 27 by Fahlon Brown with Publishers Clearing House, who arrived to present him with a check as one of the company's winners. “Oh my goodness… oh my goodness, I can't believe this,” the 57-year-old U.S. Army veteran exclaimed as the Prize Patrol arrived on his doorstep. The dad of three grown children, two serving in the U.S. Air Force, said he'd use some of his ,000 prize money to pay off some bills and take his wife — who works as a librarian in La Vernia — to dinner, and then use the...Article Link

Home mortgage rates haven't gone through the roof in recent weeks…that's the good news.The bad news is that they're already pretty high. Coupled with high home values, it's an uphill climb for first-time home buyers. Will it get easier anytime soon? Dale Vermillion joins us today to talk about it.Dale Vermillion is the author of Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home. This book covers everything you need to know about securing a mortgage—all from a biblical perspective.Current Mortgage Rate OutlookThe rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage have been hovering around 7%, and we can expect them to stay between 6.5% and 7.25% for the remainder of this year. Analysts predict that rates may not drop to the 5% range until at least 2025 or 2026, barring any dramatic market changes.The biggest challenge for first-time home buyers is affordability, not inventory. Despite an increase in available homes (620,000 nationwide compared to 451,000 last year), the average sales price is around $420,000. Prospective buyers must carefully budget and ensure they don't overextend themselves financially.Timing Your Home PurchaseGiven the stable interest rates and improving inventory, now might be a better time to buy than in recent years, as long as you're financially ready. New construction starts are up, particularly in the $200,000 to $350,000 range, ideal for first-time buyers. Additionally, the post-busy season (after school starts) might offer a better buying opportunity with less competition.Interestingly, the housing market seasonality has shifted since COVID-19. Traditionally, spring and summer were the hot buying seasons, while fall and winter were cooler. However, current market demand and population numbers have evened out these seasonal trends. Higher interest rates generally mean less competition, making it a good time to buy.Pricing Your Home for SaleThe strategy for pricing homes has evolved. Previously, sellers would price high and negotiate down. It's common to price lower to attract more buyers, often resulting in offers above the asking price. However, recent trends show that about 35-36% of homes sell below the asking price, indicating a shift towards more realistic listing prices.For more guidance on navigating the complexities of buying and selling homes, check out Dale's book, "Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home."On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a mother who has been involved in a Publishers Clearing House scam for the last several years. My brother and I, along with the police, have tried to convince her that it is a scam, but she refuses to believe us. Recently, we were able to arrange the sale of her house and get her into an independent living situation with the ability to transition to assisted living or memory care if needed in the future. However, I have found that she has continued to participate in the scam and is giving away her retirement income each month. As her power of attorney, I am trying to save what is left of her assets for her future care. Am I doing the right thing by taking control of her finances to prevent her from being further exploited?I have a few credit cards with Capital One and some loans, including a farm investment loan and a business loan. The interest rates on these debts are high, and I'm figuring out how to lower my monthly payments. I'm currently working with Primerica in the financial services industry, but the income from that is slow. I would like to know if I should look into a debt consolidation loan to settle my payments and make it easier to manage my debt. What would be the best approach for me in this situation?Resources Mentioned:Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home by Dale VermillionChristian Credit CounselorsRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Scammers impersonate Best Buy, Geek Squad, Amazon, and PayPal brands more than any others, a new analysis by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has revealed. In analyzing complaints submitted by consumers during 2023, the government consumer protection agency found that it received around 52,000 reports – or 1000 per week – of scammers impersonating the Best Buy or Geek Squad brands. Consumers lost $15 million to those scams, but took even more – $60 million – in around 7000 scams impersonating Microsoft, and $49 million in scams where they pretended to be from Publishers Clearing House. The other most frequently copied companies included NortonLifelock, Apple, ComcastXFinity, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. If you receive messages purporting to be from any of these organizations demanding cryptocurrency, transfers via PayPal, CashApp, or Zelle; gift cards from the likes of Apple and Target; or any other unexpected request; treat it as a scam until you can very independently on the company's correct website.

Yesterday, the FTC announced an $18.5 million settlement with Publishers Clearing House (PCH), a marketing company known for using sweepstakes to sell magazine subscriptions. In its 52-page complaint, the FTC alleges PCH used purported “dark patterns” to promote product purchases, failed to disclose total costs, misrepresented its privacy practices, and used misleading email headers in violation of Section 5 and the CAN-SPAM Act. The order prohibits the company from making specific misrepresentations regarding sweepstakes entries, includes mandatory disclosure requirements, and requires consumer data deletion, among other provisions. https://www.adlawaccess.com/2023/06/articles/ftc-targets-publishers-clearing-house-dark-patterns-in-sweeping-order/ Gonzalo Mon gmon@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8576 https://www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Gonzalo-E-Mon Ioana Gorecki igorecki@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8417 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Ioana-Gorecki Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.adlawaccess.com/subscribe/ Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - https://www.kelleydrye.com/News-Events/Publications/Newsletters/Ad-Law-News-and-Views?dlg=1 View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - https://www.kelleydrye.com/Advertising-and-Privacy-Law-Resource-Center Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw Hosted by Simone Roach

Many people have heard about the Mandela Effect, but nobody knows why the phenomenon exists, how it all really started, and what it means for humanity. But this is the Metaphysical podcast, so Rob and John are going to bring you their fascinating research and remote viewing data to get deeper into the possibilities. What are the explanations for why people are noticing their memories not aligning with today's reality? Have you heard any of the new Mandela Effects that have come up? So what's the deal: Could our memories be false, or has reality actually changed? Want to hear some of our personal Mandela Effects that had us convinced something strange is afoot? Join the psychic spy John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts for a show that's out of this world. Discussions in this episode: Curious George: tail or no tail? Rodin's sculpture “The Thinker”: Where was his hand, and why do people remember one way so strongly that they even do the pose wrong while standing in front of the sculpture itself? Erased from history: the Publishers Clearing House employee who everyone remembers handing out life-sized checks, but who mysteriously “never worked there.” Was the end of the world supposed to be in 2012—and did it happen on another timeline that we're not on? What's the real cause of the Mandela Effect? How does the Mandela Effect relate to ancient cataclysms and the Maya calendar? Are we witnessing timeline shifts that we just can't fully remember? Would the field of electromagnetics reveal surprising truths if we looked deeper? What do classified projects really know? How has CERN's work with the large hadron collider affected humanity? Plus dive into theories about subatomic particles, black holes, other dimensions, the double slit experiment, the observer effect, and so much more. Most importantly, what do YOU remember?

We're back with more Fraudwire! This week we cover Brett Farvre and the biggest welfare scam in Mississippi history, a woman in Florida who was deemed the Mother Theresa of her community when in reality she was running a nearly $200m ponzi scheme, EY is finally breaking up their auditing and consulting business, and we learned that if Steve Harvey isn't showing up at your door then it's NOT Publishers Clearing House! Seena Ghaznavi and Justin Williams are joined by comedian Brendan Fitzgibbons.

Our returning champion is Dr. Harlan Kilstein, who has a brilliant innovation in copywriting he's agreed to share with us. Harlan was a guest here two years ago when he gave us some much-needed information about Facebook compliance. But don't make the mistake of assuming Facebook is the only thing he knows anything about, because Harlan is a super-successful copywriter and entrepreneur who knows a LOT about a LOT of things. He's written super-profitable copy for many big names in the direct-response business. He's created several very successful businesses of his own. And recently he's come up with a “new” system to sell called Interactive Sales Letters. I put “new” in quotes because it's not really new at all. In one way. The concept behind it has been around, and proven, for decades. But the way Harlan is using the concept is brand-new… it's working… and that's what he's going to tell us about. 1. To get us started, what is an interactive sales letter and what about the results you've gotten so far should make us want to find out more? 2. Your idea comes from a lot of history of proven techniques. Could you start by giving us a bird's-eye view of what Publishers Clearing House and Reader's Digest did, back in the day? 3. You and Jim Van Wyck had a landmark consultation with Jay Abraham, when you and Jim both had large Positive Changes franchises. What was the advice Jay gave you that gave you further evidence of some of the techniques you put into interactive sales letters? 4. How did “Laser-Focused Leads” help you move down the path to interactive sales letters? 5. What was your first full-fledged interactive sales letter and how did it do? 6. Could you walk us through some other recent project? You can get ahold of Harlan using this email address: overnightcopy at gmail dot com. Download.

Ed McMahon: A popular sweepstakes myth places Ed McMahon at the front door of Publishers Clearing House's multi-million dollar SuperPrize winners with an over-sized check and a bottle of champagne. If you do a Google search for Ed McMahon and PCH, you'll come up with over 300,000 websites that mention both names together. Ed McMahon was never a spokesperson for Publishers Clearing House. He worked for a rival company called American Family Publishers, while PCH winners have always been notified by their popular Prize Patrol.

RAY ANDERSEN BIO Ray Andersen grew up in West Orange, New Jersey in the home that legendary songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin lived and where some of the masterpiece, "Tapestry" album was written. Ray's love of music was apparent at an early age when he was introduced to The Beatles. Eventually the bug of songwriting hit him hard. Along the way, he went on to the famed American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC, which further emboldened his love of the arts. 80s - STONE PONY HOUSE BAND In the 80's, Ray went onto a very important journey in life as a member of the notable Asbury Park NJ, Stone Pony house-band, Cats On A Smooth Surface. Bruce Springsteen played with Ray and the band so much, he often raved to the press that they were his favorite group of musicians to jam with when he was off tour. 90S - ORIGINAL INDIE BAND, TOURING WITH MATCHBOX TWENTY In 1995, Ray formed an indie rock band called Blue Van Gogh, and they released an album called Hi-Fi Junkie Sonata. The music was met with international acclaim. They toured throughout Germany as the opening act for matchbox twenty in April of 1998. GUITARIST/KEYBOARDIST BACKING VOCALIST w/MEAT LOAF He also toured for 3 years, with Meat Loaf as his guitarist/keyboardist/backup singer, appearing on The Tonight Show, The View, VH1's Storytellers and many more. Along with Bruce Springsteen, he's performed with Jon Bon Jovi, Chuck Berry & many others. mr. RAY - MUSIC FOR KIDS Ray has been writing and performing for kids from pre-K to 6th grade for 26 years as mr. RAY. The undertow & message of all his originals is Kindness, Anti-Bullying, Inclusion & Diversity.

RAY was 2013 & 2014's 10th best-selling kids' artist according to Billboard Magazine...and in 2020 his kids music streams were well over 1,000,000. In 2009, Ray performed at the UN at an event called Seasons Of Non-Violence with 12 handpicked kid singers, singing his originals, as well as John Lennon's Imagine & Give Peace A Chance. In 2015, he created the No Room For Bullies project – a series of songs and talks, after hearing about the suicide of Rutgers student, Tyler Clementi, who look his life after being shamed by another fellow student, for being gay. The Tyler Clementi Foundation endorsed & provided a testimonial for the entire project. MUSIC FOR NATIONAL TV COMMERCIALS He's recorded music for many national TV commercials, including twelve Publishers Clearing House commercials.

In its 67 year history, I don't think anyone ever accused Publishers Clearing House of elegant stylings.

JOIN US IRL: www.instagram.com/wisemillennial Veronica Kaulinis, founder of "Vulnerable AF" sits down remotely to discuss her community movement and event series that encourages vulnerability and connection, her journey from growing up in Central Islip, Long Island, attending Stony Brook University, working in corporate marketing roles such as Publishers Clearing House; What makes a bad coach from a good coach (what makes someone effective)?, Is it possible to “over-share” with someone? And how to find an appropriate balance, the difficulty between genders (if any), her own personal struggles with being vulnerable, advice for Millennials who feel they don't have meaningful friendships or are struggling to find their people, and how to overcome your fears (too generic or cliche of a question?)LEARN MORE ABOUT VULNERABLE AF: https://www.veronicakaulinis.com/vulnerableafINSTA: @vulnerableafFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/vulnerableafnyc/INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:Briefly tell people, what is Vulnerable AF and how did you come up with it?You talk about the story of not feeling comfortable calling anyone. Respectfully, is it fair to say the idea was born from an overcompensation? A desire to find people who are likeminded to yourself?You grew up in Long Island, and transferred from Suffolk County Community College to Stony Brook. What was it like growing up in Long island? Were you not able to have deep conversations with people?You've worked in several marketing jobs over the years, including publisher's clearing house. Was your dream always to be a coach?What makes a good coach from a bad coach? I see many coaches, all of whom are doing great things and have great intentions, but that doesn't mean they are all equally effective. What makes someone effective?To play devils advocate, what would you say to someone who says, you know, those millennials, they're too used to being coddled. That Veronica girl, she's part of the problem of why we aren't more emotionally tough?Where do we find the balance between sharing too much? Is there such a thing? You can't reasonably expect everyone in your network to equally care?Why is it hard for people to feel vulnerable? You mention your “mission is to bridge the gap between Men and Women”. Not to play into traditional gender roles or stereotypes, but how are men and women different? Is it harder for one gender?What is the end goal? Is to help as many people as possible end, once and for all, rejection? Can we make it permanently stop?I'm just curious, Do you still struggle being vulnerable? ….Where does that come from?What's the advanced version of this? I understand the concept of helping people who struggle to be vulnerable open up. But Lets say I put you in a room full of highly vulnerable people who are not afraid? What would you say to them? What's the 2.0 version? Or are they good to go in the world and fly on their own?Millennials in particular really struggle with this. I mean, we all want to be liked and accepted for who we are. So what advice would you have for people who don't feel like they have meaningful friendships? Or don't feel like they belong to any one group and are struggling to find their people?What is something you wish someone had told you 5 years ago, or you had told yourself, that you had to learn on your own? But would have made life so much easier had you known.

Originally, we weren't going to have an episode this week, but at our weekly meeting with our internet lawyer Nick Rekieta, we got to talking about some issues, and luckily he records all of his conversations. Here's what we discussed:-Organic Food-Checks (Cheques for you weirdos)-Taxes/Fees for things you already ownWe all know organic food costs more than the "regular" stuff, but does it taste as good? No way. Look, GMOs are the future, like it or not. The nanomachines they inject our food with add such a satisfying crunch! And as they die, their wriggling forms give your tongue that relieving buzz! Plus, eventually their remains get absorbed into your bloodstream and passed on to your children and that's how we get to our cyberpunk/transhumanist future and YOU WILL NOT DEPRIVE ME OF THAT SO YOU CAN PAY THREE TIMES AS MUCH FOR WORSE TASTING STRAWBERRIES.Speaking of the future, it's pretty clear to see that we're moving towards an all digital, cryptocurrency economy and that's a shame because kids these days won't know all the hassles we've been through with checks. Writing them, depositing them, cashing them, no matter where you run into a check, odds are it'll mess with your day. Please, just give me the least human interaction possible when dealing with my money. I want numbers, not words. These kids have it made, all they'll have left are giant novelty checks, and let's be honest, we'd all prefer to use those over Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or what have you. You tried, Publishers Clearing House. You tried.You know who still uses checks? Old people. You know what's full of old people? The government. You know what the government wants? Your stuff. And if they can't have it, they'll tax the hell out of it until you don't want it anymore. Great, now you've lost all your belongings to taxes, then you lose your home, so you're out on a corner downtown breaking nto the cars of yuppie start-up kids trying to get enough cash for a Subway sandwich. You get just enough by the end of the day and waltz in, ready to eat like a king, but you go to pay, and you're 73 cents short! How could this be?! Damn you taxes! DAMN YOU!ll that and more on this justice filled episode! Plus, we listen to voicemails, talk about some lawsuits, and give you an update on what you can expect on the Patreon.

This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World Season One Episode 13, The Stardust RanchMost people in the UFO community are familiar with The Skinwalker Ranch, and what mysterious events have gone on there for years, but close by in the Valley of the Sun in Arizona lies another strange place, another ranch, with incredible stories of alien creatures, paranormal activity, UFOs and one man's attempt to keep his family safe even it means shooting at ET with AK 47s and taking them on with Samurai Swords.Indeed the story of the The Stardust Ranch is absolutely mental. But lets take a look at this location, the people involved, the research conducted and why billionaire and researcher Robert Bigalow (who owns Skinwalker Ranch) took interest in the property.Psychiatric therapist John Edmonds and his wife Joyce, a former FBI employee, saved enough money to buy their dream ranch where they hoped to rescue and raise horses and K9s and in 1996 they purchased the Stardust Ranch in Buckeye, Arizona.The dream ranch would immediately start to prove problematic. The previous owners had left all their belongings inside the house. John reached out to the real estate agent that had sold the house, and was advised that everything would be removed in a few hours. When John returned to the house later that day, all the belongings were at the bottom of the empty pool.John became furious and rang the real estate agent. He was advised the previous owners arrived at the ranch only to find the stuff already inside the empty pool and refused to retrieve it. John would end up discarding everything himself but has always wondered who moved everything into the pool when the main gate was locked and secure.After cleaning up the pool and the yard and moving into the ranch house, John found a stranger approaching, Machete in hand. John, unarmed at the time, and very apprehensive approached the man and asked him what he was doing and to leave the grounds.The man indicated he lived on the ranch. John assumed the man was mentally ill, and in a calm but assertive voice asked the man to leave. The man, hearing that John was the new owner turned and walked away but then stopped and said, “You are going to wish I was here. There are monsters on this property, and I kill them”. John watched the man leave the property and decided to keep an extra watch in case he returned. On several nights both John and Joyce started seeing lights. They believed it was a flashlight and went to investigate only to find these orb like lights zoomed off out of sight, sometimes across the land, other times up into the atmosphere.For several years John and Joyce never mentioned the orbs or the other incidents that occurred at the ranch. They were both credible, intelligent, hard working folks who operated a horse and K9 rescue ranch and did not want the stigma of being witness to paranormal or UFO encounters. They did not need that kind of attention.But things seemed to escalate as several of their rescue horses were found dead, mutilated with their eyes and tongues removed. Researchers have claimed the deaths and mutilations were not consistent with animal or scavenger attacks. And then things got even stranger. Both John and Joyce started seeing beings late at night following sightings of the light orbs. They claim that they see what we typically describe as grey aliens. Small 3 feet tall beings, with large heads and bulging eyes and skinny limbs. John indicates that the alien beings have recently been making more appearances but before that were more discreet making clandestine visits to them while they slept. They seem especially drawn to Joyce, who has been harassed on numerous occasions, during which she is unable to move or scream. They have woken up to puncture like wounds on their skin with blood as if syringes were used on them during the night. Many times they have large bruises in their inner things, abdomen, and chest. There are also occasions that they cannot account for lost time and fear they were abducted.One time John and Joyce were awoken to find that three rescue rottweilers were barking and then attacking one of the alien creatures. The creature retreated and the dogs were called back unharmed, however, just days later they simply dropped dead.When the visits increased and the attacks were getting more invasive, John decided to arm up including purchasing knives, swords, handguns, shotguns and assault rifles. On several occasions he shot at the creatures and kept them at bay. In one hand-to-hand encounter, John took a Samurai Sword and pierced the creature but it seemingly vanished into thin air. According to John a chuck of flesh remained on the sword. John sent this piece of evidence to be tested by scientists. The samples were sent to Michigan to be analyzed by Biophysicist and crop circle researcher W.C. Levengood, who had been collecting samples of the StarDust Ranch's soil. When the research on the tissue and fluid sample were completed, he reached out to John Edmunds and claimed he had discovered the holy grail of alien evidence that linked cattle mutilations that occur across the country. The tissue was pure hemoglobin that is not found on this planet, and only seen at sites where cattle has been mutilated. The evidence seem to also contain what seemed like grass at first, but was actually a plant crossed with animal based substance not seen on earth. Biophysicist W.C. Levengood stopped writing to John Edmunds suddenly which appeared strange because he was very enthusiastic when corresponding with him earlier. Levengood left the research incomplete, as he died in 2013.Then visits by the men in black started to occur. John and Joyce both witnessed men, dressed in black, with unmarked cars observing the ranch. When approached they advised John not to go public with any information he has. When Joyce, a former FBI employee tried to identify the vehicles, they had no markings, no plates, no way of identifying them. The men, also, refused to answer who exactly they were.That's when John decided to tell his story and go public with all the previous encounters and experiences making appearances on Coast to Coast AM and inviting others to the ranch. Joyce, however, has remained silent and indicates she wishes to have no publicity and refuses to do interviews.Project Camelot and those seeking a fantastic paranormal/ UFO type of story visited the ranch and have claimed to have seen the alien beings and recorded them. In one instance they claim to have photographed one of the greys and immediately showed John the preview on the camera to prove to him that there was no Photoshop trickery going on. The image will be available on our Facebook Page.The image, however, shows a very shallow depth of field, meaning the grey was about 2 inches from the lens. It is blurry as well and is the perfect replication of a plastic toy alien. In our opinion, the photographer held up the toy alien and quickly snapped a photo, replacing the toy in his pocket and showing the preview to John who believed that the photographer actually had evidence.This same group also claimed to have found an engraved rock, they said was probably dropped by the aliens.In their youtube interview with John they have disabled comments stifling any skeptical comments or inquiries. Other videos, with disabled comments, are one that reportedly show an alien peeking at John from behind. Where the video is copied and comments allowed, viewers quickly point out a natural explanation for the alien.Other para-celebrities have also visited the ranch including Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventure crew who claimed that the alien beings were actually demons or a combination of extraterrestrials and demons. Of course, we cannot take anything this program does seriously, as they are not there to research and provide good information, they are there to sensationalize and attract viewers. However, even their fans were screaming bullshit during the airing of this episode.John decided in 2016 to put the ranch on the market seeking 2.5 million dollars, significantly more than what he had paid for it. There was very little interest, however, researcher and billionaire Robert Bigalow, who owns Skinwalker Ranch in Utah decided to investigate the claims and perhaps purchase the property.Due to privacy, the investigation and subsequent purchase deal was not made public, however, it appears as if Robert Bigalow was not interested in purchasing the property. The ranch was then taken off the market, making some speculate that John had fabricated the stories in order to get Bigalow's interest and cash out a millionaire.Recently, the ranch has been put back on the market, however, the price has been doubled to $5 Million. And once again, John said that Bigalow is once again considering making and offer as new evidence has been made available.John has collected photograph and video evidence of the light anomolies and believes that he has captured evidence of portals to another dimension. These photos will be available on our facebook page.Recently, John said he has been branded by the aliens. There was no warning, nothing to see, hear, or communicate with. An excruciating pain and a sense of crushing pressure followed by the indentation in John's leg. Both John and Joyce have experienced skin punctures, triangular depressions in the skin and have seen bruising,and skin disfigurement similar to what one would experience if exposed to radiation followed by nausea, gastrointestinal distress, and chronic fatigue and muscle weakness.Joyce has been reported to be levitating on several occasions and John has handcuffed her to the bed overnight in order to not allow for an abduction. Previously, when she was levitated into a beam of light to board a UFO, John opened fire with an AK 47 and she was promptly brought down. These types of reports are so incredibly unbelievable but John says that all are true. In fact, all his encounters were written down in a self-published book called The Ascension Code co-authored by Ellain J Keller, however, for some reason, none of the Amazon links to purchase the book seem to work. The co-authors other books such as “A MOTHER'S New World Order (NWO) HANDBOOK: How to Survive the Illuminati and Other Dangers, yes you heard me correctly, works.It appears the co-author was hired for about $15,000 to help produce the book and somewhere along the way, something went sour.Both web sites registered in John's name are non-functional. The book web page, however, is hosted at a free site Weebly, and appears abandoned.On July 10th of 2017 a GoFundMe Campaign was launched by Alex Rewerts, a Chicago native to purchase the ranch for $5 Million. It is unclear who Alex is, or why he wants to purchase the ranch or why you should shell over money to help him own a ranch. So far, donations have peaked at $62.John continues to operate the ranch as a rescue business but has been continually harassed by thrill seekers ever since the Ghost Adventure's show aired. Love having visitors plan a trip to Stardust Ranch to check out all the weird stuff that happens on the ranch, but drop in visits are a different story, says John. From this day forth anybody who wishes to "Drop In" unexpectedly will be charged $500.00 per visit! Last night I had an individual sitting out side my front gates from 10:00 PM until at least 11:00! Come on people NOT COOL! also good away to get arrested or worse! We live here! This isn't Alien Disney Land, or Friggin Walmart! We are not open 24 hours a day! Be thoughtful! Even the aliens get pissed off when you act thoughtlessly! So, if you are going to insist on instant gratification you are going to be charged for it! Exception made for Publishers Clearing House if you want to award us like a Gazillion Dollars! You can Drop in Any time! But let's get serious for a moment. What is really going on at Stardust Ranch? Is there an interdenominational portal allowing for some extraordinary events to take place? Is John's story true? Or is it altogether a grand hoax? Or it is a combination? Are others taking John's stories, and adding to them to further their own agendas?There has yet to be a real, truthful, scientific investigation by actual UFO researchers. Yes, para-celebrities and Youtubers have visited, but these have not produced any substantial evidence. They just seem to muddy the waters and cause even more skepticism. As for Stardust Ranch and John's story, it, for now, remains unsolved.Please join us next week when we take a look into the Lost Lemon Mine where you could discover clues on finding one of Canada's lost gold mines.
