Does this have anything to do with Brandon taking bribes from the chicoms?
“Does this have anything to do with Brandon taking bribes from the chicoms?”
Yes. These aliens are the weeds described by Jesus in Matthew 13. They are working through the CCP.
They have no compassion, sympathy, empathy, or emotion as their souls are missing an important aspect of consciousness. Thus they are weeds as their souls cannot grow.
They are not in physical bodies and are attaching to humans to hide on a mass scale.
They create an emotional mass hysteria in humans so they can move in as the logical aspect.
It works very similar to hypnosis where a person suppresses their logical aspect of consciousness and attaches/surrenders their emotional consciousness to another person/leader blindly, without discernment as they have no logical consciousness of their own.
