A new hit documentary about the British Royal Family’s interest in UFOs and the paranormal investigates the claims that Prince Charles flew an actual UFO in Canada in 1975! The film which is called the King Of UFOs  features an interview with Canadian diver Dan Costello who claims to have witnessed Charles as one of 3 pilots flying a prototype UFO at Sandy Point in Nova Scotia. Costello claims that the craft was shaped like a UFO and emitted a blue ionic flame which scorched the earth below and turned the soil to grass. He states that Prince Charles was stationed on the nearby HMS Endeavour as a Helicopter pilot and was drafted in on what was called Project Serpico. Costellos adds: “The craft had dual rotor blades like a helicopter but it would also just sit and hover in the sky with the blades not on and with no sound of propulsion just a faint crackle of electro magnetism. I don’t think it was extra terrestrial but might be technology developed by Nikolai Tesla who had a facility here and now this was being used by the US, Canadian and British Military.” The film’s director Mark Christopher Lee researched Costello’s claims and found validity to them and found evidence that the technology might be what US military personnel such as David Grusch have claimed to have seen at first hand. Lee adds: “What if what we are all seeing in the sky and thinking are extra terrestrial spacecraft are actually just a secret highly advanced earthbound technology? What if Prince Charles was involved with this project – does King Charles know the truth about UFOs? If so he should release this truth to the public. We deserve to know!” Lee has written to King Charles to ask him about this 1975 event at Sandy Point but to date the palace has not replied. Lee states: “I was quite skeptical about Costello’s claims at first but since the film has been released numerous witnesses have come forward to state that they remember this Sandy Point incident and that there were weird craft flying in this area. This may also explain the infamous nearby Shag Harbour UFO incident which people have suggested was a UFO – the truth is probably that it was an experimental technology that the US, Canadians and British wanted to keep secret and the UFO alien story was a good cover for this.” The film is out now on Amazon, Tubi, Apple and GAIA The post New Film Suggests King Charles Flew A Prototype UFO in 1975! appeared first on Anomalien.com.

On Monday with millions of Americans still recovering from catastrophic devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and more preparing this week for Hurricane Milton, numerous White House correspondents chose to engage in childish and maniacal bashing with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) with false claims about him ignoring calls from Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In contrast, Fox’s Peter Doocy went to bat for Americans who don’t have time for the petty pontificating and bellyaching from Washington D.C. and wondered why the Biden administration triumphantly announced $157 million in foreign aid for Lebanon as the terror group that runs the country — Hezbollah — wars with Israel.     “[O]n this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to Lebanon without Congress coming back, but Congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina. Do I have that right,” Doocy asked. Jean-Pierre insisted Harris and President Biden have “had a — a robust, whole-of-government response to [Helene] with “more than $200 million — that we have directly put towards survivors here for the di- — for disaster help, and that’s because of this President’s commitment to make sure that we are there for communities that are impacted” plus “more than 1,500 federal — federal folks on the ground to help.” She added such invocations of Lebanese aid is “disinformation, misinformation,” and “dangerous.” Doocy didn’t take too kindly to this nonsense:  But President Biden is fond of saying, “Show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.” If he has got money for people in Lebanon right now, without Congress having to come back, what does it say about his values that there is not enough money right now for people in North Carolina who need it? That’s not misinformation. Jean-Pierre drew a look of utter bafflement and an “excuse me” from Doocy when she replied everything he said was “misinformation: “Wait. No, that is. Wait, your whole — your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir.” The cross-talk was on from there with Jean-Pierre obviously refusing to engage on the merits and consider optics of the Biden-Harris regime’s triumphant funding of a country wracked with terrorist groups amid the Helene devastation was wrong. She refused to even ponder the bad look of foreign aid going easily out the door while money for American citizens will have to require a reconvening of Congress (click “expand”): JEAN-PIERRE: What you don’t — yes, yes. DOOCY: Which part? JEAN-PIERRE: It’s misinformation. DOOCY: Did — is there money — JEAN-PIERRE: I just — I just mentioned — DOOCY: — to send to Lebanon right now? JEAN-PIERRE: I just mentioned — I just mentioned to you that we provided more than $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area, and I just shared with you that people are deciding not to — DOOCY: $157 million is not [inaudible] — JEAN-PIERRE: — not — no — but people are deciding not to — DOOCY: 157 million is not [inaudible] — JEAN-PIERRE: — no — no, but people are deciding not to — DOOCY: — President Biden sent a letter to — JEAN-PIERRE: — not — wait — DOOCY: — Congress that there’s not enough money to help people in North Carolina — JEAN-PIERRE: We’re talking about the SBA disaster loan. Yes. DOOCY: — that’s money for people in North Carolina. JEAN-PIERRE: And that’s important. And people in North Carolina need that. Con- — DOOCY: The President is the — JEAN-PIERRE: Wait. This is nothing new. DOOCY: — one saying it’s running out. Jean-Pierre put the onus on Congress for more money being needed to care for American citizens: “Peter, this is nothing new. Congress comes together. They provide money — millions of dollars for disaster relief. We’re asking them to do the job that they have been doing for some time.” Doocy countered he was “reading from a letter that President Biden sent to” the leaders of each parties in Congress saying FEMA needed more funding. “The President’s letter is not misinformation. Would you agree,” he asked. Jean-Pierre wasn’t stuck to her script, saying “the way you’re asking me the question is misinformation” before going on with Doocy torching her for choosing to merely “call a question that you don’t like ‘misinformation’” as “[t]hat’s very unfair” (click “expand”): JEAN-PIERRE: No, the way you’re asking me the question is misinformation. There is money that we are allocating to the impacted areas, and there’s money there to help people who truly need it. There are survivors who need the funding — who need the funding, and it’s there. DOOCY: You can’t call a question that you don’t like “misinformation.” JEAN-PIERRE: I said that — DOOCY: That’s very unfair. JEAN-PIERRE: I actually said we have the money available to help survivors of Hurricane Helene and also Hurricane Milton. Now, we’re — now, there’s going to be a shortfall — right? — because we don’t know how bad it’s — Hurricane Milton is going to be, and so we’re going to need additional funding. We’re going to need additional funding. DOOCY: That’s exactly what I just asked about, and you said it — JEAN-PIERRE: No — DOOCY: — was misinformation. Yes. JEAN-PIERRE: What you’re asking me is why Congress needs to come back and do their job. That’s what you’re asking me. Congress needs to come back and do their job and provide extra assistance, extra funding to Disaster Relief Fund. That’s what Congress needs to do, and we’re going to continue to urge that. You may not want that, but that’s okay. That’s what this President wants, and that’s what the Vice President wants. Before that blowout, he congratulated Jean-Pierre on her promotion to Senior Adviser (as reported by the Biden-Harris’s North Korean news lady, Mary Bruce) and asked about the man the U.S. gave back to Russia for WNBA player Brittney Griner: “[T]he arms dealer that President Biden freed in a prisoner swap, Viktor Bout, is now, according to The Wall Street Journal, selling weapons to the Houthis. Does President Biden think that is a problem?” Going back to the DeSantis bashing, the Vice President doesn’t sign off on disaster declarations or be the person to give FEMA permission to release aid and surge assistance to the region. Rather, the President does, but the liberal media have a candidate (Harris) whom they’re working to elect and paint as a Boss Lady. The AP’s Aamer Madhani, Gray TV’s Jon Decker, and unsurprisingly both ABC reporters in the room Karen Travers and Selina Wang went down this road falsely claiming DeSantis has bungled the response by not being buddy buddy with Harris. Here were their questions (click “expand”): MADHANI: And then, finally, there was a report — I believe it was NBC — just as we were coming out, that Governor DeSantis is dodging calls with Vice President Harris and President Biden. Is that an issue? Is — is politics starting to sink into this? (....) MADHANI: Is it — but is it accurate that the President and the Vice President have made outreach efforts and they have not been answered? (....) WANG: We’re learning that DeSantis refused to take a call from Vice President Harris specifically around Hurricane Milton. Can you just talk about that and any communication around this new hurricane?” (....) WANG: Trump and some of his Republican allies have been spreading misinformation about the federal response to Hurricane Helene. So, what exactly is the White House doing to combat that misinformation? And can you just talk about the impact it’s already having on the ground? (....) WANG: But is the administration tracking that having an impact on the ground in terms of people being — people not seeking the aid they need because — JEAN-PIERRE: That’s a concern. WANG: — is that — is that happening? (....) DECKER: [I]n regards to the relationship or — or lack of a relationship between the governor of Florida and the leadership of this administration, does it make a coordinated response to tropical weather that much more difficult if the governor is not speaking to the Vice President or to the President? (....) TRAVERS: You used the phrase “incredibly dangerous” a couple times, talking about the misinformation on — JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah. TRAVERS: — the hurricane. JEAN-PIERRE: It is. TRAVERS: And given how widespread it has been over the past few days and how much of an effort FEMA and the administration has made to combat that, how concerned is the President that what we’re seeing now with this storm is perhaps a preview of the misinformation we might have on Election Day or in the days following that?

Kamala Harris is doing her best to appear large and in charge in the final weeks before the election. President Joe Biden no longer appears interested in helping her maintain the illusion. Harris recently made a stink about her inability to work with authorities in Florida on hurricane relief efforts. Within hours, Biden announced that he was in touch with Gov. Ron DeSantis and ready to succeed where his former running mate had failed. While Biden's team maintains that the president wants Harris to succeed, this turn of events amounts to yet another signal that Harris' boss is at the very least subconsciously working to sabotage her. Telephone tag The Biden-Harris administration's response to Hurricane Helene has largely been a catastrophe. Apparently keen for a clean slate and a second chance, Harris set her sights on Florida, where Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on Wednesday. A White House official told CNN that Harris has been unsuccessfully attempting to get in touch with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to discuss storm preparation and recovery. 'It's not about you, Kamala.' On Monday, Harris suggested that DeSantis was engaged in politics as opposed to crisis management. "Moments of crisis, if nothing else, should really be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader says they're going to put politics aside and put the people first," said Harris, evidently enraged by her alleged ghosting. "People are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political games at this moment, in these crisis situations — these are the height of emergency situations — is just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is putting the people first," added Harris. DeSantis, who has been in contact with Federal Emergency Management Director Deanne Criswell, said in an interview Monday that while Harris has been griping about missed calls, he has been hard at work "helping people prepare for Hurricane Helene, helping effectuate rescues of people after Hurricane Helene, helping people pick up the pieces of their lives after Helene, and then have to also turn around and prepare for major impacts and maybe even more impacts from Hurricane Milton." "My focus has not been on dealing with Kamala Harris," continued the governor. "I didn't know she tried to contact me, but I'd also say, it's not about you, Kamala." DeSantis stressed that whereas Trump and Biden have refrained from politicizing storms in past years, Kamala Harris has apparently chosen now as the first time to call — "to parachute in and inject herself when she's never shown any interest in the past." A call worth taking Amid the kerfuffle, Biden announced that DeSantis had taken his call — a signal that notwithstanding his decrepitude, Biden was still running the show. 'He's def voting for Trump.' "Tonight, I spoke with Florida Governor DeSantis and Tampa Mayor [Jane] Castor for firsthand reports on Hurricane Helene recovery and preparations for Hurricane Milton," Biden wrote on X. "My Administration is ready to support both leaders and the people of Florida with any further resources they may need." Whereas in the past, Biden has emphatically used the term "Biden-Harris administration," there were no traces of the vice president in the president's messaging. Biden added, "I also spoke with National Weather Service Director Ken Graham regarding the expected impacts of Hurricane Milton for the state of Florida. I urge all those in the storm's path to evacuate now while it is safe to do so." Christina Pushaw, an aide to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), noted Tuesday, "Governor DeSantis & President Biden spoke last night. There is a chain of command when it comes to disaster response, which Florida is very familiar with. VP Harris is not part of that chain of command; the President is. If Harris doesn't understand that, she isn't prepared." Pushaw also retweeted the following message: "For all of your losers saying @GovRonDeSantis was playing politics, he spoke to the ACTUAL POTUS. Have a seat." Trolling Keen observers concluded on the basis of the timing and phrasing of the post that Biden, who just weeks ago donned a red Trump 2024 hat, is "just trolling Kamala at this point." Charles Cooke, senior editor at the National Review, noted, "Harris under the bus." One user quipped, "He's def voting for Trump." DeSantis' call with Biden amounts to another messaging defeat for the Harris campaign, which is desperate for Harris to take starring roles before the election. Harris aides recently suggested to CNN that they want Biden out of the picture so that Harris won't be seen running as an extension of the president. When, for instance, Biden went to North Carolina last week to survey the damage, Harris' allies felt she was robbed of an opportunity to make her presence known in a state she stands a good chance of losing. Harris was also looking forward to taking center stage when Biden jets off to Germany; however, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revealed Tuesday afternoon that Biden will instead be hanging around "in order to oversee preparations for and the response to Hurricane Milton." Biden has also been torpedoing Harris' effort to distance herself from the current administration's failures. During Harris' debate with Trump, she apparently enjoyed a boost when she said, "Clearly, I am not Joe Biden." Biden kindly responded last week by emphasizing, "She was a major player in everything we've done." "She's been, and her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we're doing," added Biden.
