That's kind of like saying that the human body will evolve to use weapons-grade plutonium. Yeah that might take a while. Hey, maybe that's the point of the hybridization program.

CERN Paper
Superfluid Helium exhibits Quantum Mechanical properties at extremely low temperatures below 2.17 K including Zero Viscosity and the ability to flow through Solid Materials.
This is because superfluid helium can pass through microscopic pores in Solids such as glass due to the Quantum Tunneling of its particles. In its Superfluid State Helium Atoms behave collectively as a single Quantum Entity bypassing classic frictional forces and flows without resistance through channels that would normally block fluids. This behavior is rooted in Bose-Einstein condensation where Helium Atoms overlap and act as a unified wavefunction.

Preservetube for the special:
I turned on mono audio to listen to the Reality Check follow up with Tim Gallaudet and Marik von Rennenkampff. He starts off by saying he wants his guests to be brutal and that he's expecting the debunkers and trolls to take a swipe at him. Tim says he trusts John Blitch, "Renaissance warrior":
Whistleblower reveals UAP retrieval program; object caught on video (archive)
Coulthart went to a field close to Fort Bragg and "did CE5" with "some of the people who assisted in the preparation of this film" (including Blitch). He mentions Steven Greer 5 minutes in, and says summoning works. Marik is not being brutal, but congratulatory. Coulthart re-emphasizes that UAPTF people "confirmed" to Barber that he was involved with alien tech. He will not go into detail about the "confrontation" with the employer. Barber has given evidence to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, but the staffers/legal counsel are the ones who take in the evidence, not the Senators.
Coulthart ball-washing Tim at 11:00 in, using him as an example of swearing an oath to the Constitution, not the US Navy. "When I've talked to the military people, and believe me, there are dozens more than the people that I've put on the TV today..." More complaining about trolls, debunkers, and the UAP community. Irony: "I think part of the problem at the moment is the UAP community needs to take a long, hard look at itself and stop treating this like entertainment. It has to acknowledge that this is serious. We are talking about egregious breaches of the law, including the criminal law."
People on the inside are praying
this story makes a change. Tim: "I don't think this psi topic is weird or controversial as I guess most people would say. Think about it, the CIA had the Stargate program, and they've said or claimed to have disestablished it, but like so many of those programs that have been uncovered, they still continue most likely a classified version with a different name." Brings up Joseph McMoneagle and DOPS of University of Virginia (archive).
Trolls are building Twitter accounts trying to use the algorithms to run public opinion and direct adverse comments about Jake. "We've been tracking it in quite a sophisticated way for the first time, and we're already aware that there are people who are almost certainly connected to the intelligence community who are involved in... active disinformation to try and spread lies basically about these people and about these allegations before the public even hear them. It's fascinating to see a coordinated public campaign, and I believe it's being run from sections of the defense intelligence community." Brings up Executive Order 12333 that he started talking about last year.
(I am less than 20 minutes in and it's already a gold mine.)

Marik: We could easily see a Church Commission 2.0. Marik has confirmed with David Grusch that Jake Barber is not one of his "40" witnesses.
Tim: Keep an eye on John Ratcliffe (CIA Director) and Mike Walz (National Security Advisor). Trump is disruptive by nature, and UAP disclosure is disruptive. Also mentions his friend Michael Kratsios. There is a desire to show American leadership, and this an opportunity to do that (refers to his op-ed).
Ross asks Tim if he's suffered blowback. Tim says Yes and No. "Media outlets" and "professional trollers" are the only source of blowback.
Somebody "quite junior in the CIA" suggested to Ross that the secrecy is to protect technological advances from the recovered craft. Coulthart attempts an American accent at 32:36.
Ross: Donald Rumsfeld admitted $2-3 trillion unaccounted for day before 9/11. He's hearing about underground facilities, specific locations, witnesses who have been inside them.
After that he interviews Jim Segala, who was on that AmA livestream yesterday.

Rapid onset gender dysphoria comorbid with schizophrenia. His subconscious anima is manifested not as a sense of gender identity, but an exterior "spirit" or "force" guiding and protecting him. That egg hasn't cracked yet.
FAA and Geolocation
I was curious if he still flies so I checked the FAA. I think this is him:

The PO Box gave me some location data to put into whitepages.com. Barber appears to own a residence in a Visalia, California subdivision, and a place in Exeter, California associated with his helicopter business. Or it might be a farm. Google Maps breaks down when trying to locate rural properties, and this didn't seem worth a deep dive. Searches of the San Joaquin County court site and California sex offender registry yielded no results. It does not appear possible to search Tulare County Court online. So he might believe crazy things and have an extraterrestrial feminine ovoid spirit protector, but other than that he's a normal, functional person.
Air Force and Getting Mad at NewsNation
Going back in time to his Air Force days, the enlistment contract shown by NewsNation shows he got a CCT contract:
However, the DD 214 shown on NewsNation reflects initial entry training only for an aerospace mechanic. He never graduated a SOF school. I don't know Air Force pipelines very well, but it appears he failed selection or one of the prerequisites to go to selection.
Here's the award recommendation shown by NewsNation:
Ignore the hyperbolic language about heroism. The achievement medal appears to be the second-lowest medal [archive] in the Air Force; it's not the lowest because the Air Force gives out combat medals for things other services wouldn't. He served honorably and deserved recognition for it, but this medal isn't the superhero award some redditors think it is. And so much of the recommendation is in pen, who knows which parts are original. And the AFAM isn't on his DD 214, unless they upgraded it to that commendation medal.
I'm more interested in where he was assigned. The 41st Airlift Squadron [archive] was stationed at Pope from 1971 to 2007, when it moved to Little Rock. From 1992 to present, it has "provided airlift for US Army’s 82 Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, NC; also supported White House, US embassies in Central and South America and humanitarian airlift; [and] airdropped troops and equipment into hostile areas." It's part of the Air Mobility Command, not AFSOC or JSOC. JSOC is at Pope, so Barber might have rubbed shoulders with them or wrenched aircraft they used. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pay attention to the next duty assignment because there's a stroke through it and elsewhere on the document someone circled "sep." Either way, I don't think the 625th (now 725th) is part of AFSOC or JSOC.
I couldn't watch the entire NewsNation thing, but what I saw was deceptive and made me mad at the internet. This guy served his country honorably, got some interesting assignments and went to cool places, then got out after his first enlistment and found success in other fields. But they're still making him out to be something he's not, some kind of elite secret squirrel warrior. And in dismantling the NewsNation deception, it looks like I'm attacking Barber himself, but I'm not, other than calling him a mentally ill repressed transsexual. And that's rank speculation, to be honest.
He has a Facebook page, though it's been abandoned for about a decade. It has pictures. Most of them are related to his music career, with a couple from his helicopter business. But some of them are fun. Here he is getting another award, this time for owning a top 20 Anytime Fitness club in 2014:
Grocery-shopping dressed as Magnum PI in 2014:
(His joke, not mine.)
Looks like he was involved in some kind of fire thing in 2014. This was before he started his own company so there probably isn't a lot of relevant information we can glean from this.
This picture is 11 years old but I think he should use it as his image wherever he goes:
Royal Helicopter Services
His helicopter company is called Royal Helicopter Services, domiciled in California:
It used to have an Instagram account, @royalhelicopter, with 93 posts and 0 followers. Unfortunately, it has been taken down.
It's not unusual for veterans to buy an aircraft or two and incorporate a little DoD contracting business. In the GWoT, the DoD couldn't put together UAV units fast enough so they would take anyone with a small plane, bolt an ISR package on it, and use them for training stateside or send them downrange. Little outfits you've never heard of were doing work you've never heard of. I mention this to emphasize the fact that it's perfectly normal for the DoD to hire seemingly-random veteran-owned contractors for all kinds of aviation work.
I haven't looked into his music business. I wonder if there's a connection to Tom DeLonge there.

The egg footage was supposedly received from an "anonymous source" and actually had nothing to do with anything else in the News Nation segment, only tangentially related. some real Ancient Aliens bs here.
One thing that really bothers me is the supposed "night vision". It looks as if they just added a green overlay in Premiere. Night vision devices used by the military have a very distinct and recognizable color due to the film on the tubes which are only manufactured by a handful of companies.
It's also much more grainy during motion and there would be more visual artifacts. They never even mention the year that this retrieval supposedly took place.
I have no idea what the ground is suppose to be. It looks like stucco.

They said that they knew who the footage came from and other details. The source is not anonymous to them, just kept from us, and it's explicitly not Barber. Still could be a hoax, still looks like crap.
Marik von Rennenkampff also mentioned that Grusch told him Barber is not one of his 40 whistleblowers. Probably not the other three either, not sure.
I'll withhold judgment on his tier-1 3L33T operator status and pay grade. Folks will sort that out eventually.

is this motherfucker serious?
he hyped up "disclosure", said it was overwhelming evidence, there were ads running for it non stop
the reddit was a buzz, 4chan was buzzin, every talking head was being spoken to and discussing it on Twitter and being asked about it
Ross is the one who is making this entertainment, and i hope in future everybody here will remember exactly what Ross and NewsNation have to offer
who remembers "it will be unambiguous and undeniable"? that was another Ross'ism
i am still a little shocked that they brought so much woo into this, that surprised me more than anything
even if that footage ends up being fake, bringing the woo into the public arena the way they did was the biggest laugh for me

Oh my god, a UFO!
I was going to say, why does the camera in that "UFO retrieval" footage look completely off? When was the footage allegedly taken? Why isn't the camera using a white phos tube? Green phos tubes are still in use, but there's basically no reason for the camera the footage is from to be running anything other than white phos. Even then, green phos tubes don't look like that.
Shit's faker than the alien autopsy footage (and far less entertaining).

Everyone was always under cover after their story unravels. It's the "joke's on them I was only pretending" of grifters and assorted valor-stealers. I'm watching more of the NewsNation thing now; immediately after he ETSes, before he even has his pilot's license, he's establishing cover so one day in the future he can do secret air operations.
I would like to see his medical records. They showed them to Nolan (of course), who gave us his opinion, but I want to know the original diagnosis from the physicians who examined him. I bet it wasn't "fried by an egg." Are there any autoimmune diseases that cause hair loss, dermatitis, and craziness? Lupus is a weak match for these symptoms, but it's never lupus.

What is concerning to me is how often people like Ross and these other CE5 people are pushing Gateway on the global stage.
What is happening is you have organizations like NewsNation and critically Zoomer Influencers like Whatifalthist with massive followings:
700k subscribers.
And they are, i'm assuming innocently, putting out videos like this:
And in it these Zoomers take EVERYTHING in the Gateway documents at face value.
They don't question the claims AT ALL. Not even a little bit. Claims that you or I can look up. You can literally talk to a AI Chatbot like Perplexity, get sources, and walk each individual claim through, one at a time, and immediately come to understand that it is clearly false and does not conform to known science such as micro vibrations turning the body into a diaphragm and then sending a signal into the hemisphere and connecting with the spirit world.
Each individual claim in Gateway can be walked through and disproven.
They are ASSUMING that the CIA studies are real. That it wasn't just a cover so they wouldn't have to burn a source.
These Zoomers are assuming that the FUCKING CIA is not FUCKING LYING.
Ross goes on NewsNation and says he did CE5 and it worked and he doesn't fucking show us. All these Zoomers are going to believe this at face value.
It's like someone is trying to brainwash the entire fucking Nation or something.

NN is like the UFO hugbox, "we accept your experience and understand your story" type shit
who is to say how much of it is or isnt wilful
but i believe they are grifting, hard, and using this topic to bump their news channels brand recognition
they agree on questions, agree on answers, when the camera rolls its action
as for the CIA remote viewing stuff, i also dont think any of that was real
who knows what it was behind the scenes, like why those documents exists i mean
it could have been part of a much wider disinformation operation, just 1 cog in the machine of whatever operation was being run
whatever it was, trusting in those documents as being of a genuine value is a mistake
i just remembered something, from Ross' old AMA from 7-9 months ago
Ross was asked
and this was the answer Ross gave in his AMA
so they have been planning this psionic angle for a while

RedpandaKoala uncovered the true origin of it, I archived his video on Lue in the thread which references to it.
It basically all stemmed from Scientologists. Scientologists basically birthed it all. All of this shit is Scientology. Ross has effectively bought into Scientology.
These people, NewsNation, Gary Nolan too I think now, are pushing Scientology onto the masses.
That is what is happening right now. I was honestly kind of shell shocked yesterday and it didn't really sink in until now.
There is literally a god that these people believe in.
I stopped writing about it because I was fucking sick of it but this shit keeps popping up like herpes so I may return to the subject soon and explain precisely what they believe.
They believe there is a Electromagnetic god in between what they believe is a torus shaped universe and that they are connecting to what is basically a giant electromagnetic tube. They think that they are talking to this electromagnetic tube which through the process of the torus examines each individual particle in the universe and then recycles it anew eternally.
They believe that they can live eternally within this electromagnetic tube that is their god.
That is what these CIA niggers believe in and they are literally pushing this shit onto the Zoomers.
People like Matt Ford are pushing this Scientology shit onto everyone.

Do you think that Scientology is that prevalent, where it would be deeply involved with the US intelligence community, or at least a faction within CIA/DOD, etc? Forgive my ignorance. I haven't paid much attention to that cult, I know a lot of celebrities are involved but I always thought they were pretty niche. Very interesting.
On a similar note, I've concluded that pretty much everything that is being pushed recently (post Lue Elizondo) is bullshit. The observables are real and based mostly on accurate witness accounts and declassified material, and hopefully, some of the actual Harvard research being done is. Everything else including the most recent hearings with Grusch, NewsNation, and everyone else pushing ideas about "crash retrieval", "confirmed non-human craft" and "religious gateway process esc" stuff is either misinformed or has an agenda they're trying to push, whether it be to discredit the real research into UAP or to promote specific religious ideas.

I'm going to look at more of Barber's documents.
The request for orders to jump school is interesting:
It was evidently signed in February 1995. According to his DD 214, that's when Barber graduated maintenance school. But on here, it says he's still a PJ or CCT trainee. I can only speculate why that discrepancy would exist. The paragraph referenced in the authority block doesn't exist in the current version of the AFI; perhaps someone can find the old one.
This document refers to him going to Army diver school after graduation in February 1995:
So we may have him going to jump school and dive school at the same time. There's so much text missing we can't really tell what's going on. It's possible this was contingent upon him passing jump school. I think that's the usual order of operations. It's also possible the word "expected" comes right before "graduation date."
This thing says he completed the "at control indoctrination course" and was awarded something, presumably an AFSC:
I think combat control is the only thing that fits. I don't know where this course fits in the pipeline, it doesn't seem to be a thing anymore.
In 1996, he heroically saved a couple MPs who got in a car accident and got an AFAM. Interestingly, it was on Veterans Day:
He also presented a document (with handwritten additions) suggesting he received a second AFAM upon separation, resulting in an AFAM with one oak leaf cluster. But his DD 214 only reflects one AFAM.
This is the narrative for his 1998 Aerial Achievement Medal:
It's hard to make out what he actually did, but it evidently had something to do with equipment, personnel, and munitions. According to Wikipedia, the 4404th was one of the units that kept Iraq penned in during the decade when Bushes weren't waging war against them. From what we can see of the narrative, there are no references to a special operations task force, participating in SOF operations, or serving in a combat control capacity. It's possible there is a more detailed narrative elsewhere. I would also like to congratulate NewsNation for catching the egg-shaped orb right under the word "aerial."
Because I missed it the first time, here's the top half of his DD 214:
It corroborates what we might call the "mundane" interpretation of his career. Entered active duty in September 1994, graduated BMT in November, spent 12 weeks at maintenance school, then was assigned to the Air Mobility Command. There's no room in there for him to even go to the CCT pipeline and wash out. It's difficult to reconcile that with his enlistment contract. Did the Air Force send SOF recruits to a regular tech school before the SOF stuff back in the day?
I have difficulty believing this is all some kind of cover story, that they gave him a fake DD 214 showing he has five years of maintenance experience when he does not, and omitting all the schools he did actually go to. Considering the quality of evidence rather than the quantity, I think it's more likely the DD 214 would be accurate. It's one of the few documents that we can see all of, and it isn't a recommendation or a request but rather a summary of what the airman actually did. And veterans use those to obtain benefits and government employment; using a faked DD 214 for those purposes would constitute fraud, but faking other documents for notoriety would at worst be some stolen valor thing that probably wouldn't get prosecuted.
But even if everything he says about his military career is true, that still doesn't mean the government hired him to pick up an alien egg that telepathically communicated with him and is his guide and protector.
