Their names have changed, their faces have been altered, but their bloodlines remain the same. We see glimpses of their great and far-reaching power, we see revolutions and war, and we succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell.

On the daily news we see war, disease, poverty, and man pitted against man. We see billions of impoverished people displaced by power brokers. We see the super-rich getting richer.

The truth is, what happens out there affects us all - and all of these world events are happening not by chance but by design.

From the Garden of Eden to the Great Flood, from the God of the Bible to the secrets of Enoch, all shall be revealed.

Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, and even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world. But the most shocking revelation of all is the reason why they come.
