Secret UFO Programs

Hi Global Recap readers,

They finally did it.

After the First Lady wore red to vote and the President’s upbeat mood after Trump’s win, we were all waiting to see Biden’s reaction when meeting Trump at the White House for lunch.

Well, the photos are finally here—and honestly, I’ve never seen the President smile that big. At one point, Trump’s cracking a joke, and Biden’s laughing right along with him. 👇

🇺🇸 UNITED STATES
Trump and Biden's Brief Civility

They even appear to be joking with each other here.

President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump shared a rare moment of civility at the White House, shaking hands for 29 seconds before a two-hour closed-door meeting.

Despite their history of animosity, the encounter was a nod to the tradition of peaceful power transitions.

The Context

The truth is, nobody really knows how they genuinely feel about each other—maybe only those closest to them. It’s hard to tell if their harsh words are just “politics” or if they really don’t get along.

• Both leaders have traded barbs in the past.

• Trump has called Biden “crooked,” “sleepy,” and even a “communist.”

• Biden has labeled Trump a “dictator” who threatens democracy.

The Discussion

The meeting reportedly covered a range of topics

• National security and domestic policy were discussed.

• Trump came with a detailed set of questions for Biden.

The Reactions

While many saw this as a symbol of unity and a commitment to a peaceful transfer of power, the mood in the West Wing was reportedly grim.

• Biden's staff felt defeated and in despair.

• Trump described the meeting as "cordial" and "gracious."

Wilders Calls for Deportations

The infamous Dutch political leader Geert Wilders has called for the deportation of individuals convicted of violence against Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam.

He blames "Moroccans" for the attacks and suggests canceling the Dutch passports of those with dual nationality.

The Incident

Violence erupted in Amsterdam before and after a soccer match.

• The match was between Ajax Amsterdam and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

• According to the Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema, fans from both sides were involved in the unrest.

  • Maccabi fans attacked a cab and chanted anti-Arab slogans.

  • Meanwhile, some carried out "hit and run" attacks on people they thought were Jews.

  • Rioters also lit a tram on fire on Monday, shouting “kankerjoden,” which translates to “Cancer Jews.”

Wilders' Comments

Wilders blamed "Moroccans" for the violence.

• He claimed they "want to destroy Jews."

• Wilders suggested deporting those convicted of involvement if they have dual nationality.

The Reactions

Lawmakers condemned Wilders' statements.

• Opposition legislators accused him of "pouring oil on the fire."

• They argued his comments were not conducive to "a better society."

🇮🇱 ISRAEL
Israel Plans a Gift For Trump

Israel is “allegedly” rushing to advance a ceasefire deal in Lebanon, aiming to deliver an early foreign policy win to President-elect Donald Trump.

The proposal involves cooperation with Western and Russian entities and requires Hezbollah fighters to retreat beyond the Litani River.

The Proposal

Israel aims to secure a ceasefire in Lebanon.

• The plan involves cooperation with Western and Russian entities.

• It also requires Hezbollah terrorists to retreat beyond the Litani River.

The Context

The proposal is part of Israel's broader strategy.

• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in regular contact with Trump.

• The plan aims to end Israel's multi-front war and bring stability to the region.

The Meetings

Key discussions took place at Mar-a-Lago.

• Ron Dermer, Netanyahu's minister of strategic affairs, met with Trump and Jared Kushner.

• Dermer also updated Biden administration officials on the state of Lebanon talks.

The Challenges

This sounds all rosy and positive right? Not so fast.

• The proposal faces significant hurdles.

• Lebanese officials are highly unlikely to agree to terms that allow Israeli military operations within Lebanese territory.

• Hezbollah's condition for progress is that Israel must be prohibited from conducting operations within Lebanon.

Thoughts

Destroying Hezbollah’s assets in Lebanon may seem like a positive move, but a prolonged operation is a significant burden for Israel, already fighting multiple enemies in the region.

• It also heavily impacts Lebanese citizens, who are caught in the crossfire, fleeing in fear and uncertainty.

• However, a ceasefire risks allowing Hezbollah to rebuild its infrastructure, as its sole purpose is to destroy Israel, with the backing of Iran.

• Yet, if Israel is indeed pursuing this route, they may have determined it to be the optimal path forward—for now.

🇺🇸 UNITED STATES
Congress Hears UFO Testimonies

On Wednesday, Congress held a hearing to discuss UFO, I mean, UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) sightings and the transparency of UAP investigations.

Explosive Testimonies

Witnesses provided compelling testimonies about UFO sightings.

• Retired Navy Rear Admiral Timothy Gallaudet described an email about “multiple near-midair collisions” with a UAP that was mysteriously wiped from his email account. Huge, if true.

• Gallaudet also mentioned satellite imagery of a disc-shaped UAP captured in 2017.

Government Secrecy

Witnesses criticized the government’s secrecy on UFOs.

• Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon intelligence official, lambasted the intelligence community for decades of “excessive secrecy”.

• Elizondo claimed that the objects observed often out-maneuvered US military aircraft.

National Security Concerns

UFO sightings pose potential national security risks.

• Elizondo emphasized that much of the reported UAP activity has been around military bases and nuclear weapons sites.

• He warned that if these were adversarial technologies, it would be an intelligence failure of massive proportions.

Hidden Imagery

The government is allegedly sitting on a trove of UAP imagery.

• Journalist Michael Shellenberger testified about a secretive UAP program created in 2017.

• Shellenberger claimed intelligence communities have “hundreds, maybe thousands” of high-resolution images and videos of UAP.
