Stephan: I have gotten so many emails from readers commenting on the UFO article I ran, either asking me what my own views are about ETs and UFOs, or making a comment about something they think I should have added, or commented on, that I just don't have to time to answer them all in the detail they deserve. However, I wrote a novel,
Awakening-- A Novel of Aliens and Consciousness. In it, I put everything I know about these subjects, including why I think ET visitors act as they do, and what I think they are doing. If you are interested in my views, Awakening will address them all. I wrote it as a novel rather than non-fiction because I have thought a great deal about this and have reached some conclusions that cannot be entirely grounded in evidentiary facts. I think, for instance, I know what they are trying to do, but we won't know if my inferences are correct until we can talk to an alien.

Stephan: In 2018, an estimated 1,735,350 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States and 609,640 people would die from the disease. Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, 9.6 million people died from it in 2018. So this story of a breakthrough in cancer research holds enormous implications for humans throughout the world, and perhaps in your own family.

A newly-discovered part of our immune system could be harnessed to treat all cancers, say scientists.
The Cardiff University team discovered a method of killing prostate, breast, lung and other cancers in lab tests.
The findings, published in Nature Immunology, have not been tested in patients, but the researchers say they have “enormous potential”.
Experts said that although the work was still at an early stage, it was very exciting.
What have they found?
Our immune system is our body’s natural defence against infection, but it also attacks cancerous cells.
The scientists were looking for “unconventional” and previously undiscovered ways the immune system naturally attacks tumours.
What they found was a T-cell inside people’s blood. This is an immune cell that can scan the body to assess whether there is a threat that needs to be eliminated.
The difference is this one could attack a wide range of cancers.
“There’s a chance here to treat every patient,” researcher Prof Andrew Sewell told the BBC.
He added: “Previously nobody believed this could be possible.
“It raises […]

Stephan: There is so much Trumpian criminality at home that what criminal Trump has done to America's stature abroad just kind of gets overlooked in American media. But that doesn't mean that this devastation isn't going on, or that foreign governments are not completely recalibrating downward their views about the United States. Here is one of many examples of what I mean.
MUNICH — For decades, the Munich Security Conference served as a powerful symbol of the strength of the Western alliance. The 2020 installment offered a testament to its accelerating decline.
If the three-day event, which drew to a close on Sunday, illustrated anything, it was that the divergence between the U.S. and the dominant European powers — Germany and France (the U.K. was MIA) — is greater than ever. Those who thought last year’s tense gathering represented a low point in the relationship left Munich this year chastened.

The two sides aren’t just far apart on the big questions facing the West (threats from Russia, Iran, China), they’re in parallel universes.
Most alarming: The biggest disconnect concerns the U.S. commitment to Europe, the very essence of the transatlantic alliance itself.
In speech after speech, whether in public or private, European […]
