Alan Berman on Nazi Eugenics, Alien Myth, and Mind Wars

Comedian-turned-researcher Alan Berman argues that the popular alien types of gray, Nordic, and reptilian are not visitors from other worlds but cover stories for human genetic engineering, Nazi-era eugenics programs, and mind-manipulation technology. He traces the modern information war to the 1980 'From PSYOP to MindWar' paper co-written by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely, which he claims laid out how to win wars through constant messaging aimed at both foreign enemies and the American public. Berman ties this to social media algorithms, the Lebensborn program, global financial power, and what he calls a 'thermodynamic wall' that he believes is the true meaning of the biblical firmament.
