Review: Disclosure Day

Steven Spielberg's latest movie, Disclosure Day, opened last week. My husband and I saw it in the comforts of one of those movie theaters with servers, menus, and cocktails. I chose to pig out and he chose to get catch a buzz. Both of us worried if the movie would be yet another Hollywood production about trans-rights, the environment, how God is a fairy tale, evil America, etc. The last movie I got him to take me to was Conclave. Before that, we went to the last James Bond movie. For those of you who saw those two movies, you know what I mean. We took a long movie hiatus. I am an author and also an avid believer in aliens and many conspiracy theories. Those who know me, know that I love Ancient Aliens and other UFO types of shows and documentaries. Disclosure Day appeared to be something that we both would enjoy.

Without spoiling it, the movie begins with a whistle-blower who escapes a deep-state department of the government with alien files. The other plot involves a weather girl who seems to have an extraterrestrial awakening. Both sub-plots merge. The movie is filled with action, but not the kind of E.T. action that you might expect. The main conflict is not with the aliens, but with the U.S. deep-state and the lengths that it will take to conceal their alien findings. Other conspiracy theories are brought into the storyline as well, for example, there is a definite nod to MK Ultra.

Josh O'Connor, Emily Blunt, and Colin Firth convincely play their roles. I especially was impressed with Blunt who managed to fully suspend my belief during several scenes. Colman Domingo plays a very interesting character, Hugo Wakefield. He had me wondering more about his backstory. Was he a human-alien hybrid? Would love another movie with more Hugo. The action scenes had me on the edge of my seat. There were some creepy scenes with animals that were unnerving. Without specifically getting into the ending, I liked the mixed footage of actual prior releases from the White House and Steven's imagination.

Spielberg also brings up religion. Eve Hewson plays "Jane", the girlfriend of Josh O'Connor's character. She was a nun who thought she had lost her calling. Some religious figures fear that aliens would be worshipped, and even disprove the Bible. Jane asks her friend, a Mother Superior of her church, about this very predicament. Her reply was simple: Why would God create a vast universe and only put life on one planet? As a Christian, I couldn't agree more. Aliens do not disprove God, then only add another layer.

On a side note, the White House released more UAP (or UFO) footage over the weekend. I wonder if this was coordinated with the movie's release. Years ago, I went to an alien convention and attended a seminar by Jonathan Young (a professor who frequents Ancient Aliens). He spoke about the partnership between the U.S. and Hollywood in prepartion for a full extraterrestrial release. Looks like he is onto something.

This movie is not perfect. There are some holes. But it's extremely entertaining. We left the theater with many thought-provoking questions. My husband didn't like the movie as much as I did, but Hollywood is back! 

5/5 Stars

Review: Gary Wayne's Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part II

Gary Wayne continues his work about fallen angels and Nephilim in the sequel Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part II.

 This is a long book (1300 pages on my Kindle settings) stuffed with dense information that took me eight months to read. I loved the first book. This book is even better. Wayne recaps his first book by outlining major Biblical events such as the war in Heaven, fallen angels who were expelled, their oath at Mount Hermon, mating with human women and creating giants called Nephilim, races that descended from the Nephilim, the continuation of Rex Deus bloodline, satanic plans (that failed) to prevent Jesus from coming, plans to prevent Jesus from returning, and plans to fight Jesus at the end of the Great Tribulation. He includes his theories on how Revelation will play out along with the signs that suggest The End is near.

Wayne begins with Noah and the Flood. Before God wiped out the earth, there was a first generation of Nephilim connected to Greek myths and Greek gods such as Cronos, Poseidon, and Iapetus. The Bible says that everyone with exception to Noah, his family, and the animals on his ark were exterminated. However, the Old Testament is filled with giant stories such as the War of Giants, Joshua and giants, David and Goliath, and much more. So how did the giants and the Nephilim repopulate?

Wayne concludes that the Nephilim must have returned by a "Second Incursion." He believes it could have happened by a second group of fallen angels that descended upon earth and diluted the human gene pool a second time. Another possibility could be that the fallen angels were never destroyed, but left earth and took their giants/offspring with them while the Flood raged on, returning once the waters receded. The ancient Sumerian story of Gilgamesh suggests this. The last option could possibly be that Nephilim were somehow stowed away on Noah's boat. Of the three possibilities, Wayne favors the "Second Incursion" theory.

Wayne believes that the Nephilim interbred with nine major Canaanite tribes who produced other hybrid tribes. He includes chapters on many of them: Anakim, Amalekites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Edomites, Zemarites, Hamathites, Canaanites, Sidonians, Hittites, Hivvim, Horites, Perizzites, Amaleqim, Agagite, Zuzim, Zamzummin, Emim, Geshurim, Girzim, Maachathim, Avvim, Kenizzim, Kenim, Kadmonim, Aryan, Hyksos, Aamu, Shemau, Philistines, Cherethim, Caphtorim, Calushim and more. Their patriarch was the Rephaim or giants.

Some of the ancient cities such as Sodom and Gomorrah were epicenters for this second generation of giants and their offspring. He lists famous kings in the Old Testament who were giants/Nephilim such as King Og (his giant bed), Nimrod, Sihon, Hammurabi, Tyre, and Sargon. Through extensive research, Wayne shows bloodline connections that come from Nephilim and Jesus's ancestors (two examples are Noah's son Ham who was the grandfather of Nimrod and Esau, the brother of Jacob, who was the grandfather of Amalek). These tribes eventually emerge in Europe, creating dynasties that still exist today.

Wayne mentions famous giants such as Goliath and Ishbibenob. An interesting tidbit about Ishbibenob was that he was the son of Araph. "Araph" in Hebrew means "to cut off the neck" or behead. Decapitation was the standard for ensuring proof of killing giants which is why David cut Goliath's head.

Other interesting facts include the Freemason connection (for example, Mount Hermon's latitude is 33 degrees), literature about elves and fairies as codes, possible anti-Christ contenders, etymology of ancient terms, and how Armageddon's location might actually be Mount Hermon. 

There is a ton of fascinating research that went into this book. I don't want to spoil it for those interested in reading it. I loved all of it, especially the last several chapters that focus on End of Days. But I will end with this-the anti-Christ might have a bloodline connection to Alexander the Great. Wayne states that the anti-Christ will have bloodline connections that go all the way back to the Rephaim, fallen angels and Babylon.

This is a five-star MUST READ and I highly recommend it to those who enjoy religion and history. I reposted my reviewL https://conspiracycrackpot.home.blog/2026/01/23/review-the-genesis-6-conspiracy-by-gary-wayne-copy/ on Wayne's first book on my other blog. You can skip the first book and still get follow his second book, but both books are definitely worth the read! I found myself Googling much of the facts/characters/wars/etc. he wrote about. Wayne's research lays a foundation for what is to come. 

By the way, I write fiction about Nephilim. You can check my work out for a lighter read: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dina-Rae/author/B0085348DY?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

Review of Universal Studios and Fright Night

Last October, I went to Universal Studios (Hollywood) and Fright Night with my two young adult daughters. Below is a summary and review of the park.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS: The park is open between 8am-6pm for their standard attractions.  We purchased Universal Studio Express tickets which were roughly more than doubles the price of the basic admission.  I loved the Express lines.  We usually walked right into the attraction.  The longest wait time was about ten minutes long.  

The main attraction my daughters and I were most excited about was the Harry Potter section. We headed straight there after entering the park.  The general area was decked out like a movie set of Hogwarts, promoted a roller coaster and a simulated movie-ride, and featured enchanting stores, concessions, and an old time stone castle restaurant.  We were captivated by the Harry Potter memorabilia, such as a wand store and shops that sold wizard robes and magic props.  The cobblestone streets broke off into out-of-the-way alleys with more shops.

The gigantic castle was where the simulated Harry Potter flying ride was housed.  With our Express tickets, we leisurely walked to the front of the line.  Others had at least a two-hour wait.  As we headed to the ride car, we were enamored with the alcoves within the castle that were arranged with screens, movie props, famous characters, and some supernatural gimmicks.

The actual ride was not working perfectly.  The movements were sharp, jerky, and created motion sickness.  The ride malfunctioned about three times, stopping in the middle of scenes, including the flying broom Quidditch game, which gave me and my two daughters utter nausea after exiting the ride.  The queasiness did not leave us until lunch time.  Later on, I vomited in my extra large soda cup and then felt so much better.  My daughters never vomited, but their spins eventually went away.

Another ride that made us sick was the Minion movie ride.  The movie theater had special seats that moved during the interactive movie.  That ride might have been okay had it not been for the Harry Potter ride.

Our favorite attraction was the tram ride.  The backlot sets and the mini-reenactments of Jaws and Fast and Furious were outstanding.  We also enjoyed lunch at City Walk as well as the shopping.  The Waterworld show demonstrated special effects and stunts with a fun story and was highly entertaining.  Some of the rides with movie simulations were avoided because we feared that we might get nauseous again.

All in all, Universal Studios is very expensive and probably worth the money.  I would have a different opinion if we waited in line for most of the day.

FRIGHT NIGHT:

Dining Hall at Hogwarts

Fright Night happened every night at 6:00pm when most of the Universal Studio attractions closed and then the park seamlessly turned into a collection of haunted houses.  It's a separate ticket cost and a separate Express fee.  The Express fee was roughly triple the cost of the tickets.  My daughters and I absolutely loved it.  The longest wait time was about twenty minutes.  We saw every house and attraction.  All of them were excellent.

We went back to Hogwarts for dinner and ate in a whimsical dining hall that resembled a Tudor castle.  The food was English.  Shepherd's pie, chicken pot pie, roast chicken, fish and chips, and sticky pudding were some of the menu options.  We all enjoyed our food and the and prices were more reasonable than expected.  The Harry Potter ride was still open.  We decided not to give the ride a second chance, but we were delighted to gaze at the castle at night.  There were holograms over the turret and piped-in scary sounds that set such a eerie, ghastly tone for Fright Night.

The haunted houses were scattered all over the park.  We began on the lower level which hosted four of the haunted houses.  We loved all of them.  My favorite was the Holiday Mask and The Exorcist, whereas my daughters like Stranger Things.  They were all pretty scary.  No one touched us, but there were plenty of actors who jumped out of the walls to scare you.  They all wore great costumes and makeup.  The scenes in the houses were very detailed as if they might have been used for a movie.  

We then headed to some of the other haunted houses which were behind the Harry Potter section in the back lot warehouse part of the park.  Chuckie the Doll was the longest wait that we had, about twenty-five minutes.  People were waiting three hours for that house.  We enjoyed it, but it definitely wasn't worth waiting for three hours.

Throughout the night, spooks on stilts and scary monsters walked around.  Every hour there was a parade/skit that they all performed which blocked everyone from roaming through the main artery of the park.  We loved the fun, but some were in a hurry to go stand in another line.

Once again, the best "house" was not really a house, but the tram ride that took you to the backlot.  We got to walk around all of them.  Dozens of actors dressed to scare greeted us as we walked the TV and movie sets.  For example, Norman Bates walking around the Psycho House.  

Again, this would not have been a fun experience had it not been for the Express tickets.  Spend the money if you really want to go.  We saw everything.  Yes, it was over-priced, but I am glad we did it and had a blast.  We walked over 27K steps that day! 5/5 STARS!

Review and Author Interview with Char Stratton's She Has a Right

 

https://www.amazon.com/She-Has-Right-Charlene-Stratton-ebook/dp/B0CFGF1GKM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=F0X3NDIAVOEE&keywords=she+has+a+right+charlene+stratton&qid=1693097314&sprefix=She+Has+a+Right%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-1

My Review:

She Has a Right by Charlene Stratton is a memoir about some of life's disappointments and wonderful gifts.  The short (around 70 pages) read begins with Char's childhood.  Her mother gave her to her grandparents who raised her like their own child.  Char did not know her father until she was a young woman.  She then meets the love of her life, her husband Roger and learned the art of farming.  Other rough patches she encountered include her struggle with cancer.  Char has had an amazing life and is an inspiration for people who have had a rocky start.  She believes like her title that she and so many others have a right to be treated kindly, to be respected, and to be loved.  5/5 Stars

Interview with Charlene Stratton

1) What inspired you to write a memoir?

I had thought about writing my story, but didn't have the courage or know where to start. I went to a book signing in Plainfield, WI, a town close to me to see who wrote a book.  CJ Boyd and I got talking about her book and I started telling her my story. . We talked about 1 hr and shared so much. She told me you have to tell your story, and you can't smake this up. She also told me about She Rises Studio, a world wide women group that is women supporting women.  I started writing down my story and joined She Rises Studio . And they are wonderful . They are so supportive and do what they say they're going to do. I'm almost 75 and I did It!! I'm so excited and happy that I did it  . 

2) How did your grandparents feel about your mother?

My birth mother I don't think grandparents thought much about. They didn't understand her. My grandmother who became Mom they loved and seemed to respect. 

3) In today's world, how would you label your mother?  Do you think she had psychiatric problems?

Yes, I think my birth mother had psychiatric problems, very much so. Back then there was no help or understanding of this. She was never responsible, a liar, was nasty to everyone at times, and borrowed more money than I can imagine. She went for horrible men who used her. Very sad life. 

4) Do you wish you knew your father better?  When you were in Greece, did you try to find his family?

I am so glad I got to know my birth father. I wish I would have had our pictures taken together and that my kids could have met him and knew him . But the time we had together was great and sharing and loving. He told me the truth and he never said anything nasty about Joyce . We had a strong connection and I can see me in him and I'm so thankful for that 

5) What advice do you have for others in terms of forgiveness towards those who were supposed to be there for you?

The advice I have for people is that you need to forgive.  It frees your soul. They are products of their time and the generations before them. The only way you will grow and rise, is when you forgive and go on and teach your children to rise and don't let anyone for any reason treat you like a lesser person. Grow, rise, make a difference.   And have a beautiful life. You have only one chance to do so.

6) Your book is very inspirational.  What authors inspire you?

Alot of different authors have been interesting, but no one in particular. 

7) What is your next book going to be about?

I don't know if I will write a book again.  Maybe I will if I can help people with it and grow and rise.  Thank you for having me do this. I hope my friend helps women grow and also tell their stories to help others women rise.

Great book about forgiveness, hope, and positivity!  Thanks for being my guest, Char!

Review of Stephen King's Fairy Tale

    Stephen King's Fairy Tale (2022) is part horror, part fantasy, and even part young adult if you don't mind the colorful language.  The book begins with a sad, lonely boy, Charlie Reade, who gets a rough start at life when his mother dies in an accident.  His father turns to the bottle and neglects Charlie as alcoholism and depression takeover.

    Charlie spends his middle school years getting in trouble with an evil friend.  His bad decisions are ignored by his father.  Charlie turns to God in despair and prays for his father's sobriety.  His prayers become bargaining tools.  If God could bring Charlie's dad back from his blurry haze, then Charlie could change as well by doing good deeds instead of cruel shenanigans.  And God hears him. Charlie's dad comes back from his personal hell through AA.  

    Now it's payback time.  Charlie gets an opportunity to pay it forward.  His neighbor, Harold Bowditch, a cantankerous elderly recluse, falls in his yard as Charlie is on his way home from school.  Charlie helps the man by getting an ambulance and then promising to watch his dog as he recovers.

 Several months go by and they form a relationship.  Mr. Bowditch is a mystery.  He oddly doesn't have Medicare or insurance to pay his medical bills.  In his desperation, he asks Charlie to go into his safe and take some of his gold to a place that will buy it without questions.  Charlie learns that Mr. Bowditch is beyond wealthy.

    Once Mr. Bowditch is released from the hospital, Charlie continues to care for him and Radar, his German Shepherd that is also not doing well due to old age.  He discovers more odd things about his neighbor and friend.  When it becomes clear that Mr. Bowditch is going to die due to other complications, he tells Charlie about his shed, a winding staircase that leads down to another world, and a magical sundial that will restore Radar by making the dog young again. After Mr. Bowditch dies, Charlie and Radar descend into the unknown where the fairy tale begins.  NO SPOILER!

The title, Fairy Tale, is just that.  There are lots of tie-ins with the great fairy tales of the centuries.  For example, Mr. Bowditch has a fairy tale library in his house.  As Charlie reads these classics, King deftly reminds the reader about famous characters and story lines.  There are many comparisons with lots of fairy tales, especially Jack and the Beanstalk.  Charlie meets several princes, princesses, ogres, monsters, talking animals, and more once he descends into an alternative world below the shed of Mr. Bowditch's house.  He gets put into a position to play the hero.

Fairy Tale is not Stephen King's best.  My personal faves are The Stand and The Shining, but it's solid King that keeps you turning the pages, loving the characters, and connecting with the plot.  One of the many interesting things that King does throughout the book, is illustrate the beginning of each chapter.  The pictures resemble old wood-cuts from the Hans Christian Andersen tales.  

    Besides the fairy tale tie-in, King brings up God a few times with universal themes of good vs. evil.  Besides the AA program with God as a higher power and Charlie's deal with God, King uses the name Gogmagog as the name of the evil force/character that has taken over the fairy tale world.  Gogmagog is technically a famous giant and also goes with King's mention of Jack and the Beanstalk.  Furthermore, Gog and Magog as separate words are biblical references from Revelation that focuses on the End of Days.  

    The characters in both Charlie's life and his alternative fairy tale life are some of the same, like a mirroring effect.  We all have princes, villains, fairy godmothers, ogres, and other archetypes that show up throughout our lives.  We have also played these archetypal roles for others.  Joseph Campbell, author of Hero with a Thousand Faces, wrote about how mythological and fairy tale characters are ingrained within our psyche.  

    Lastly, Stephen King is currently 75 years old.  For decades, he has never failed to entertain us with his infinite imagination.  I will always be a fan.  Fairy Tale does not disappoint!  5 Stars.

Mind Control in the Advertising World

 Mind Control Theme in Peacocks...

Mind control has long been a superpower that many have longed to possess.  The possibilities in power, money, and success are endless.  Corporations, governments, and militaries spend fortunes in understanding the behavior of others.  Social media giants use algorithms to predict their users’ next mouse clicks.  Influencers use products for the bandwagon effect of their fans.  Group think of major medias can impact nations’ laws and elections. But no other industry than the advertising world can make us buy products by unapologetically using mind control tactics.

The advertising industry knows how to leave an impression on the potential customer.  Ads affect the temporal lobe of the brain that processes language.  Slogans, jingles, and sounds can set off triggers.  Thin-slicing, a mental process where the advertising world targets, is a place in the brain where one makes a judgment or inference on something instantly with limited amounts of information.  Our decisions to make purchases heavily rely on colors and branding.  An image is not worth one thousand words.  Actually, images are processed 60000X faster than text.  Smell is another method that easily influences the purchases of customers.  Cinnabon, Abercrombie & Fitch, Dunkin Donuts, and even the Apple Store (they have their own fragrance) use scents at malls to lure in customers. Touch is also a very powerful tool in sales.  Waitresses who touch men’s shoulders are proven to get better tips. (Psychology Today)

Subliminal advertising is probably the most mysterious form of mind control.  Seeing or hearing something subconsciously without remembrance seems like a waste of time and money in advertising.  But it works.  Subliminal advertising gets a person to buy a product with little thought by tapping into the customer’s emotions without the customer’s awareness.  Studies show that the subliminal message works best if it is negative.  Hidden messages within branding such as Baskin and Robbins (31 is in the word), color psychology like using blue for trustworthiness (notice how a lot of apps are blue), and sounds or hidden lyrics in jingles have proven to boost sales.  Because subliminal methods work, some forms of subliminal advertising fall under illegal deceptive advertising criteria. 

Here are some famous examples.

 

The idea of being able to control someone and make them buy your product is intriguing.  Buy my book....buy my book...buy my book....  

If you can make someone buy your product, what else can you make he/she do?  Peacocks, Pedestals and Prayers explores the dark side of advertising in an evil, horror-paranormal novel.  Download a free copy from May 11-15.
