  1. Past hour
  2. The government is not above putting out bogus information, files & images. I don't really have any control over whether or not I'll live long enough to see verifiable proof of UAP/UFO/ET.😁😎
  3. An adult person doesn't really have free or leisure time if/when their basic needs are not met. Unless they are eating & sleeping a shelter. Poor & unemployed people do not have free time. Worrying stems from knowing they are skating on thin ice & borrowed time. The possibility of falling through the ice & drowning could happen at any time.😁😎
  4. Today
  5. Why wait till then....? Surprisingly.....the poor and unemployed tend to have plenty of so called free time - the tend to use it worrying!
  6. As it should....we have been getting them from discredited ill reputed and scandalous sources...... otherwise known as tabloid rags and dime novels - prior to now. And growing.... That all depends on you
  7. Good day, everyone - My name is Kevin Parham, and I am seeking an AALBC review for my upcoming 350-page historical novel, Orange Line to Forest Hills. The story follows the intense emotional arc of the protagonist, Sadie Mae Beckham, as she navigates mid-20th-century challenges in an environment that denies people of color the opportunity to achieve their goals and take their rightful place in American society. Consideration of my submission would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Kevin Name: Kevin Parham (Author) https://priapublishing.com/ Book Title: Orange Line to Forest Hills ISBN: 978-0-9849485-9-8 Publication Date: July 14, 2026 List Price: $17.99 (paperback) $4.99 (digital) Synopsis: Fifteen-year-old Sadie Mae Beckham has grown up knowing the cruelty of racism in the Jim Crow South, but nothing prepares her for the brutal lynching of her father. Determined not to let hatred define her future, Sadie Mae leaves everything she knows behind and travels to Boston, Massachusetts, driven by a single goal: to gain an education and one day become a doctor. In her new high school, Sadie Mae forms an unlikely friendship with two girls, one Black, one white, who share her belief that injustice must be challenged, even when doing so comes at a cost. As the girls navigate peer pressure, family expectations, and quiet hostility in classrooms and summer jobs, their convictions are tested again and again. When relationships across racial lines begin to draw unwanted attention, the friends are forced to confront a society determined to keep them apart. Each choice they make carries consequences, not just for themselves, but for those they care about. Will Sadie Mae hold onto her dream without compromising her values? Can friendship survive in a world built on division? And is moral courage enough to challenge a system designed to punish those who stand against it? Orange Line to Forest Hills--a powerful story of friendship, determination, and the courage to choose what is right in a would shaped by fear and inequality.
  8. Thanks for providing it but still looks like same images we've been getting for a long time. You're definitely not alone. There's plenty UAP/UFO/ET enthusiasts. As a non-believer, in my lifetime, I think it would be great if I was proven wrong.😁😎
  9. @Troy no I didn't know about Jasper. I heard Farrakhan speaking Boston and met Minister Don Muhammad.
  10. True it does and is I would not.....just believe. I Do not know who he or she is..... But to me it is obvious that the hangar picture is a form of Illustration to aid visualization - Re-enactment.....but then again i do not know If by "Established" you mean Official then it is because they tend to be late to the party Yes - Many are part of the Cover up True it is not coming from an official sources...so it appears sketchy -whistleblowers are often killed... lives maybe a risk - not saying this is the case here. But it answer two Questions that @ProfD has and had ask me 1. what about other countries. 2. where are the clear photos I agree...the testimony of professional men and women are great.....and instrumental recordings are even more credible and verifiable - The two together is preliminary proof. I am sure because of the history of UFOs go way back.....to the dawn of recorded history and before in nearly every country and culture True....it has not been announce by officialdom as such People do have artefacts....that officialdom discredits They do......Officialdom's This is not a distraction for me.... That is true for almost everything.....even food air and water - that does not mean it is not true and necessary
  11. Yesterday
  12. It is Truth for me.... I do not expect skeptics to see it as such.....nor would I use it to prove me knowledge to skeptics Yes....it is - I am glad some one is doing I would consider him a UFOlogistic Journalist Ross in this case is only contributing to the info released by the US Government.
  13. Hello everyone, My name is cc ECK and I wanted to introduce my debut novel, Ghost Gun, and express interest in review consideration. Title: Ghost Gun: A Novel Author: cc ECK Publisher: Midblock Press ISBN-13: 979-8995540700 Publication Date: May 10, 2026 Synopsis: A multiracial family from New York returns, again and again, to Mobile, Alabama — drawn back by family ties to a place where a decades-old act of racial violence continues to shape the present. Their eighteen-year-old son, Elijah, has already begun uncovering what happened. They arrive from the North with distance, money, and the quiet protections of privilege. In Mobile, those protections begin to thin. The family itself carries its own fault lines: a white father, a Black mother, and children moving between worlds, read differently depending on where they are. Told through shifting interior voices, Ghost Gun explores inheritance, race, family, class, identity, and the uneasy boundary between reckoning and destruction. Recent Reviews: "Especially highly recommended for book clubs." — D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review "A provocative novel… reckoning with generational trauma, mental illness, and historical injustices." — Foreword Clarion Reviews (5-Star Review) I would be grateful for consideration for review, and would be happy to provide copies in any format. Many thanks for letting me share! cc ECK www.cceckauthor.com cceckauthor@gmail.com
  14. Humm going back to the subject of Becky's 7 Point Plan for Snagging a Wealthy Brother. Maybe Brothers like Arsenio are not prejudiced, so "race" was not a factor they simply got with whoever appealed to them most on a mental, compatibility, shared interest, spiritual-soul-mate thang. 😏
  15. @Troy Nah. That review that you supplied a link to said it all. I shouldn't have described what I was going to post as a "review". It would've only been about a paragraph. In answer to your question, I read the hard cover (library) book. Arsenio's memoir was just a typical show business success story. He went from rags to riches, encountered a lot of subtle racism, met and became friends with a lot of celebrities, including Eddie Murphy, along the way. And, oh yeah, his current.live-in companion is white and so was the baby mama he had a son with. The End. 😉
  16. See this is what mean; (1) The title by itself strains credulity. This is a tabloid headline (2) We are supposed to believe China just took out a Alien space craft with such ease? (3) the sketchy nature the source if the video who is "Unexplained Mysteries" with the AI generated images of alien space craft in hangars and treat speculation as facts (4) @frankster why don't you focus on established journalistic sources? when the fringe and sources who broker in wild unsubstantiated expectation and misleading information -- or do you see established news sources as part of the "cover up" As I said I'm more on your side of the issue @frankster , but videos like this definitely don't help the case. I think the testimony at the white house and videos the government have released are strong evidence (not proof) for me to believe something beyond our comprehension is definitely out there.
  17. ...so does that mean we get the Aresenio memoir review 😁? By the way @aka Contrarian did you read the book or listen to the audio?
  18. No biggie. We can move on from Arsenio Hall's memoir and black women's sentiments about white gold diggers. It ain't that serious as far as I'm concerned.
  19. To date, the public does not have any verifiable proof of anything these people claim as it relates to UAP/UFO/ET. At a certain point, the talking points of the images & files seem to come from the same playbook. Just like any form of entertainment & drugs & alcohol, these distractions provide people with another form of escapism from their routine lives. As long as there are customers/consumers for anything, there will always be pushers/producers...people who know how to capitalize on providing that something.😎
  20. Interesting to consider it truth when there is no verifiable proof. I've watched Ross Coulthart a number of times interviewing on the subject of UAP/UFO. Seems to be how he's earning a living as a journalist. As long as they are not bringing hurt, harm or danger to other people, I do not begrudge how someone else makes their money.😎
  21. I have periodically checked out the rest of the site. However, I'm not that interested in Arsenio Hall's memoir.😁😎
  22. My photo timestamp says 2013 🤔
  23. @Delano you have a good memory. I saw Nona Hendrix a couple of times. The last was Summer Stage a Central Park and Black Rock Coalition event, but I don't recall if you or Jasper was at that event. Speaking of Jasper, I'm not sure you are aware of his transition. Dyson and West are always informative and entertaining. I liked Dr. John Henrik Clarke. I saw him speak once. I thought Minister Farrakhan, in his prime, was one of the most powerful speakers I ever heard. I hear him give a lecture on Cornel's Campus back in the early 80s eye opening. Our course Malcolm X. The Nation trains their ministers well. There are many others. One of the things I miss able NY City was the abundance of lectures one could attend--often for free.
  24. Using the Truth as a form of Distraction.....isn't very smart but extremely fortunate for those of us wanting theses info Most Interesting to me is Time stamp 9:19 - 10:40 Latest UFO clips show ‘we’re not the apex predator anymore,’ Ross Coulthart says | CUOMO 'They saw GREEN ORBS!’: New UFO files released by War Dept spark massive ALIEN BUZZ
  25. @Mel Hopkins I’m glad you were serving him drinks and not the other way around. @Pioneer1 welcome back!
  26. This Administrations is releasing real military recordings of possible alien design platforms.....that is not a distraction. Calling the release of formerly secret files a distraction.....is the distraction England has been releasing UFO files and documents since 2008.... Brazil started in 2005... Russia started in the 1990.. Mexico never really kept it a secret....they had transparency* The list goes on........ Sure it could be a test China Just Released The Clearest Video Of Them Shooting Down A UFO .......The Pilots who fired the tomahawk seems to not have known it was a test. I have no doubt that we have the technology.....I do not think it is owned by the US government. Maybe owned by a Syndicate of National and International Legacy Corporations and Individuals (MJ-12)
  27. Good to know you are back and in the space.......
  28. What?! If I gave you the impression that you of all people her tail your post in anyway please forgive me! Plus God knows we can use some Bookreviews around here. Please do share shoot. I’d love to post it on the website proper! All I was doing was voice in my perspective on your comment. It would be interesting, however, to take a pole and find out if black women took that story about white chicks, snatching up the wealthy black men. I would be willing to bet a substantial portion, if not, a majority aren’t pleased with the “news.” What?! 😳 please check out the rest of the website occasionally if you visit the homepage once a week, you’ll discover a bunch of new books by Black Writers and you definitely would’ve seen his book: https://aalbc.com/books/arsenio-9781982191368
