🛸 BRAZIL’S MOST SHOCKING UFO CASE HITS CAPITOL HILL — AND CONGRESS IS LISTENING. Nearly 30 years after the alleged crash of a nonhuman craft in Varginha, Brazil, credible witnesses — including doctors, military personnel, and a pilot — briefed members of Congress in a closed-door session, reigniting calls for global transparency on UAPs, according to The Debrief.

—> 🧠 THE CLAIMS: Witnesses describe a crashed craft, recovered nonhuman beings, and direct medical encounters. A respected neurosurgeon told lawmakers he examined a living being that was “not human,” describing calm, intelligence, and communication through its eyes.

—> 🏛️ THE MEETING: Lawmakers including Rep. Tim Burchett and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pressed for details on recovery operations, possible U.S. involvement, and whether flight logs or records could confirm a covert retrieval.

—> 🧬 MEET THE PRESS, ALIENS: Last week, mtf.tv was one of the few media outlets invited for a public briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. where we heard first hand accounts of the witnesses and investigators. Burchett was on-site, too, providing institutional credibility to the public hearing.

—> ⚖️ THE OFFICIAL LINE: The Pentagon’s AARO says no investigation has concluded extraterrestrial origin. Yet former intelligence officials continue to testify —some under oath — that the U.S. has recovered “vehicles and biologics” of nonhuman origin.

—> 📊 WHY IT MATTERS: This isn’t fringe UFO culture — it’s lawmakers, intelligence veterans, and medical professionals pushing for answers. The question is no longer if Congress should know—but who is still withholding information.

hello, future. it’s me, kev.

…and this is a dispatch from the digital frontier. It’s time to meet the future NOW — with the latest on markets, tech, and freedom. The day is 32. The year is 2025. The planet is Earth.

The planet has complete .09 percent of its orbit around the Sun. My name is Kevin Cirilli —> LinkedIn. iHeart | iTunes | Spotify | Amazon | Pandora.

SPACE

🛰️ GUARDIANS OF THE NEXT FRONTIER — WHY SPACE IS NOW CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. On the latest episode of HELLO FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli, Kevin Cirilli sits down with Damon Feltman, the newly named incoming CEO of the Space Force Association, at the Space Power Conference in Orlando.

—> 🚀 WHAT THE SPACE FORCE REALLY DOES: Forget sci-fi tropes. Space Guardians protect the invisible systems that power daily life — GPS, banking, communications, weather forecasting, and national security.

—> 🧠 WHO’S RUNNING IT: In many cases, it’s small teams of highly trained 20-somethings carrying enormous responsibility—quietly managing infrastructure the world depends on.

—> 🥽 HOW THEY TRAIN: Virtual and augmented reality are transforming readiness, preparing Guardians for high-stakes decisions in an unforgiving domain.

—> ⚙️ WHY IT’S THE NEXT BATTLEGROUND: Space is fast becoming the arena for AI, cloud computing, energy, and economic competition—reshaping how nations project power. With China accelerating its ambitions in orbit, the fight over norms, governance, and security beyond Earth is inseparable from the future of liberal democracy.

—> 📊 WHY IT MATTERS: Space isn’t the future—it’s the foundation of modern civilization. Protecting it means protecting everything built on top of it.

QUANTUM // ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

🤖 MEET YOUR AI TWIN — THE DIGITAL YOU THAT HELPS KEEP YOU HEALTHY.
On the latest episode of HELLO FUTURE with Kevin Cirilli, Kevin Cirilli explores how “digital twins” are turning everyday health data into personalized medical insight.

—> 🧬 WHAT IT IS: A digital twin is an AI-powered version of you that lives on your phone, learning from your sleep, movement, food, stress, and biometrics.

—> 🧠 HOW IT WORKS: The AI predicts how your body reacts to meals, exercise, and habits—nudging you with real-time advice like what to eat, when to move, and how to stay balanced.

—> 🩺 WHY IT MATTERS: These AI twins can flag issues early, personalize nutrition, and even share insights directly with doctors—reducing guesswork in healthcare.

—> 🚀 THE BIG IDEA: What used to sound like sci-fi is already here. Medicine is shifting from reactive care to proactive, personalized health—powered by AI that knows you.

EDUCATION

🎓 AI IS BREAKING THE COLLEGE MODEL — AND UNIVERSITIES KNOW IT.
As AI takes over entry-level work, the long-standing promise of a college degree is starting to collapse—raising existential questions for higher education.

—> 📉 THE BACKDROP: U.S. college enrollment fell nearly 15% between 2010 and 2022—before generative AI hit. Rising tuition and shrinking state funding were already eroding confidence in the ROI of a degree.

—> 🤖 THE AI SHOCK: Chatbots and automation are wiping out traditional on-ramps like internships and junior roles. Recent grads now face higher unemployment than the general workforce — 5.8% vs. 4.1%.

—> 💼 WHY COMPANIES ARE PULLING BACK: Employers say it takes 18 months for entry-level hires to “pay off”—right as many leave. AI now offers a cheaper, faster alternative. Degrees without real-world experience are losing value. Tech majors are already seeing shrinking class sizes as students question whether college still leads to jobs.

—> ⚠️ THE WARNING: Experts say universities must rapidly integrate paid, in-field work into every degree—or risk irrelevance.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

⚖️ PARIS HILTON: AI DEEPFAKE PORN IS AN “EPIDEMIC” — AND CONGRESS IS FINALLY MOVING. Appearing on Capitol Hill alongside Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Paris Hilton warned that AI-generated sexual abuse is exploding faster than the law can keep up.

—> 🧠 THE ISSUE: AI-generated deepfake porn allows anyone to create explicit images of women and girls without consent — no hacking, no betrayal, just a prompt and an imagination.

—> 📜 THE BILL: The DEFIANCE Act would give victims the right to sue those who create and distribute non-consensual AI-generated sexual images. It passed the Senate unanimously and now heads to the House.

—> 🗣️ WHY HILTON SPOKE OUT: Hilton tied the bill directly to her own experience after her private sex tape was leaked in 2004. “People called it a scandal. It wasn’t — it was abuse,” she said. “I lost control over my body, my reputation, and my sense of safety.”… WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT — AND WORSE: “Before, someone had to steal something real,” Hilton said. “Now, all it takes is a computer.” What once required access now requires only software.

mtf.tv: 🛸 UAPs meet the press... ⚠️ AI kills college?... Paris Hilton on AI... mtf.tv

—> 🧠 LAWMAKERS AS SURVIVORS: Ocasio-Cortez revealed that multiple lawmakers backing the bill have themselves been targeted by deepfake porn. She called it a form of digital sexual violence rooted in “power, domination, and humiliation.”

—> 🏛️ WHAT’S NEXT: House Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled support, calling it a bipartisan issue tied to protecting children and stopping online abuse.

—> 📊 WHY IT MATTERS: This isn’t about celebrity. It’s about consent in the age of generative AI — and whether the law can keep pace with technology that weaponizes humiliation at scale.

ONE MORE THING

🎬🎭 I SAW ‘Mercy’ IN 3D — AND IT’S A LOVE LETTER TO THE END OF LAWYERS. This movie hit harder than I expected, mostly because it doesn’t feel futuristic. It feels… current. Mercy drops you into a near-future where the legal system is run by AI.

—> ⚖️ THE SETUP: Chris Pratt is accused of killing his wife. He’s strapped to a chair and given 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI judge. No jury. No grandstanding. No billable hours. Guilt is the default.

—> 🧠 WHY IT’S HAUNTING: The movie traps you in one room while Pratt digs through emails, footage, and metadata to save his life. That’s the point. The case isn’t about truth — it’s about data. And AI already understands data better than any associate billing $900/hour.

—> 💼 MEET THE FUTURE: A senior barrister at Spectator recently admitted AI can already draft legal arguments better than top lawyers — in seconds, for pennies. Great film… when I took off my 3D glasses and entered back into reality, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful since the movie begs the question: If AI erases the lawyers who monetize friction and call it expertise, that won’t be chaos — it’ll be progress…

or, dare I say… justice?… I’m an optimist… <3…

ONE MORE MINI THING: Thanks for sticking with me while I got through the bitter January cold. Brighter days ahead…

More soon….

With gratitude,

Kev
