👽🚀 NOT ALONE? UFO DOC MAKES SXSW BELIEVE IN ALIENS — DISCLOSURE GOES MAINSTREAM. For decades, the U.S. government has secretly tracked, studied, and even recovered unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). Dan Farah’s The Age of Disclosure, a bombshell new documentary, doesn’t break new ground—but for the first time, it weaves 80 years of evidence, testimony, and cover-ups into a single, masterfully told, nonpartisan story. 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

WATCH: ‘DISCLOSURE’ TRAILERE HERE.

—> WHO APPEARS IN THE DOCUMENTARY? This isn’t just a handful of fringe voices—34 high-level sources go on record, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and then-Sen. now Secretary of State Marco Rubio… Jay Stratton (ex-director of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force), and Lue Elizondo (former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program). Their accounts give the film undeniable weight, credibility, and bipartisan urgency. 👽👽👽👽👽

—> WHY IT MATTERS: UAPs have reportedly moved at impossible speeds, and defied known physics. The film lays out how governments worldwide are racing to reverse-engineer their technology—and why the U.S. is still keeping so much classified. 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

—> MEET THE FUTURE: With public pressure mounting and bipartisan lawmakers pushing for more disclosure, the film could be a tipping point. If the government finally opens the floodgates, what happens next? 👽🚀

FUTURES

MARKETS TANK AS TRADE WAR HEATS UP—WALL STREET HITS CORRECTION TERRITORY. The stock market took another wild turn Tuesday after President Trump escalated his trade war:

The S&P 500 down 0.8% and the Dow plunging 478 points. At its lowest, the market briefly hit correction levels—down 10% from last month’s record high. 📉

—> REFRESHER: WHAT’S A CORRECTION? A market correction happens when a major stock index drops 10% or more from its recent high. It’s a warning sign—but not necessarily a crash. The question now: is this just a bump, or the start of something bigger?

CRYPTO

BITCOIN BILL: U.S. GOVT TO BUY $80B IN BTC? Sen. Cynthia Lummis just reintroduced the BITCOIN Act, pushing to make President Trump’s strategic Bitcoin reserve plan permanent—and go even bigger. The bill would authorize the U.S. to buy 1 million BTC over five years, storing them in decentralized cold wallets.

—> WHY IT MATTERS: If passed, this would be the largest government Bitcoin acquisition ever, locking in billions in digital gold. 💰

—> THE POLICY ANGLE: The bill has five Republican co-sponsors, and a House version is coming from Rep. Nick Begich.

—> MEET THE FUTURE: Bitcoin as a federal reserve asset? The U.S. is betting big on digital money. 🚀

SPACE

EXCLUSIVE: CHINA & RUSSIA TEST SPACE WARFARE—U.S. SPACE FORCE SOUNDS ALARM. China’s military isn’t just sending satellites into orbit—it’s training for war in space. The U.S. Space Force has confirmed that China is practicing satellite attack maneuvers, with multiple spacecraft moving in formation within meters of each other. Russia, meanwhile, just ran its satellite maneuver drills. U.S. officials warn these are no longer hypothetical threats. 🚀⚠️

—> WHO’S SOUNDING THE ALARM? U.S. Space Force Maj. Gen. Gregory J. Gagnon spoke exclusively with MTF.TV.

—> WHY IT MATTERS: China’s ability to disable U.S. satellites could neutralize American forces before a conflict even starts. Space isn’t just the final frontier—it’s the ultimate battlefield, and the U.S. must stay ahead.

—> MEET THE FUTURE: Space wars aren’t sci-fi anymore. China and Russia are preparing for orbital combat—and the U.S. must stay ahead.

QUANTUM // ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

🧠🧠🧠 AI-BRAINS IN 2026? SCIENTISTS SAY IT’S CLOSER THAN YOU THINK: The robots aren’t just coming—they might be thinking. A new analysis of 8,600 expert predictions has slashed the timeline for artificial general intelligence (AGI), with some now saying we could hit human-level machine intelligence as early as 2026, according to Live Science. Others say we won’t get there until 2040 or beyond. Either way, the AI singularity just sped up.

—> WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGI AND AI? AI today is like a high-speed calculator—it follows rules, processes massive amounts of data, and predicts patterns, but it doesn’t understand what it’s doing. It’s great at specific tasks: ChatGPT writes emails, Midjourney makes art, and AlphaFold predicts protein structures. But take AI out of its comfort zone, and it crashes.

—> AGI, on the other hand, would be like a human mind—but faster, sharper, and tireless. It wouldn’t just answer your emails; it would think strategically, negotiate deals, and make creative decisions. It wouldn’t just follow commands; it would anticipate your needs, set your goals, and even invent new technologies. Instead of a tool, AGI would be an independent thinker, capable of adapting, learning any skill, and reasoning across different fields—without human intervention. Imagine an AGI doctor diagnosing diseases better than any specialist, an AGI scientist solving climate change, or an AGI entrepreneur building entire companies from scratch. 🚀

CHINA’S FLYING CARS & ROBOTS: FUTURE OF TRAVEL OR FUTURE THREAT?

China’s XPeng is moving fast—too fast. The company plans to mass-produce flying cars and humanoid robots by next year, pushing AI deeper into everyday life. Its AEROHT flying car takes off vertically and detaches mid-air, while its “Iron” humanoid robot is already building EVs and is set to enter homes, offices, and stores by 2026. 🚁🤖

—> HOW THIS CHANGES DAILY LIFE: Imagine skipping traffic jams forever—hopping into a flying car for your morning commute or weekend road trip. Robots could cook dinner, help the kids with homework, and fix your car while you relax. XPeng envisions a future where humanoid AI assistants handle middle-class jobs like customer service, admin work, and even caregiving.

—> AMERICA CAN’T FALL BEHIND: If XPeng controls the future of flight and AI, it’s China—not the U.S.—setting the rules. These aren’t just flashy gadgets; whoever dominates flying cars will reshape global transportation, while humanoid robots could redefine the workforce. America needs its own AI-powered future—or risk falling behind. 🇺🇸🔥

—> MEET THE FUTURE: Flying cars could make road trips obsolete. The world is changing fast—but will the future be built by the U.S. or controlled by China? 🚀

ONE MORE THING

SIGN OF THE TIMES: VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEWS—MANNERS MATTER MORE THAN EVER. Performance reviews are going digital, but just because you’re behind a screen doesn’t mean etiquette goes out the window. The rise of virtual appraisals means knowing the rules of online professionalism is just as important as your actual performance.

—> THE NEW RULES OF NETIQUETTE:

✅ Test your tech—A bad Wi-Fi connection isn’t a good excuse.
✅ Dress the part—Even if you’re at home, show up like it’s in person.
✅ Make eye contact—Look at the camera, not your screen.
✅ Be clear and concise—Without body language, tone matters.
✅ Follow up—A quick thank-you email keeps things professional.

—> MEET THE FUTURE: In the remote work era, how you communicate matters just as much as what you say. Want that raise? Show up, stay sharp, and master the art of digital professionalism. 💼💻
