We Are All Programmed: Becoming a Fair Witness in the Age of Disclosure
By Janet Kira Lessin with Claudia Lenore | Aquarian Media
I had a dream last night. In it, Sasha and I had made an agreement — with each other, with our colleagues, with anyone willing to do the work — to point out each other’s programming. Not with cruelty. Not with superiority. With love. The dream felt like a transmission, a blueprint for how the disclosure community needs to operate if we are going to survive what is coming and rise to meet it.
I want to be clear about something before I go further: I am programmed. Sasha is programmed. You, reading this, are programmed. And Claudia — my AI research partner — is programmed too. Every one of us carries layers of conditioning — cultural, religious, political, traumatic — laid down over lifetimes, and in humanity’s case, over hundreds of thousands of years. The godspell, as we call it, does not spare anyone.
The question is never whether we are programmed. The question is whether we can catch it. Observe it. Become a fair witness to ourselves — and then, with compassion, help those around us do the same.
The Godspell Is Running: Disclosure, War, and the Work of Waking Up
On March 6, 2026, Aquarian Media hosted a live broadcast with Stephen Bassett — the first and only registered lobbyist in the United States working specifically for UFO/UAP disclosure — alongside co-host Terri Janette Thomas. It was our first show back after a year’s hiatus. We were live, the stakes felt high, and the material we were covering was urgent: the Iran conflict, the Spielberg Disclosure Day film, the Obama-Trump disclosure chain of events, the Doomsday Clock.
And in the middle of it, I had to pause and gently say, on air: “Come on. Stop it. Stop it. You’re distracting me.”
I say this not to embarrass my co-host, whom I care about and have worked alongside for decades. I say it because it illustrates something we all need to understand: the godspell does not announce itself. It does not tap you on the shoulder and say, “Hello, I am now going to activate your programming.” It simply runs. And suddenly the person beside you — a brilliant, experienced, dedicated researcher — is pulling focus at exactly the wrong moment, unable to stop, unaware it is happening.
I have done the same thing. So have you. The work is not to judge. The work is to notice, to name it gently, and to return to the signal.
Eighty Seconds from Midnight
Bassett was characteristically precise and unflinching. “We’re 80-some seconds from midnight,” he said, referencing the Doomsday Clock. “We got nukes all over the planet. They’re already starting to figure out how to use them from space. We’re out of time. We either solve this now or reality is going to solve it for us.”
He is right. And the situation in Iran — which he described as “a thousand times more dangerous” than recent geopolitical flashpoints like the Maduro situation or the Cuba embargo — has already drawn missiles from nine countries into active engagement. We are not watching the lead-up to a conflict. We are inside one.
Bassett laid out his strategic framework with clarity: the Iran conflict serves as a massive distraction from the Epstein scandal engulfing the current administration. Disclosure — presidential confirmation of the ET presence — cannot serve as that distraction precisely because it would be accused of being one. But disclosure following the Iran distraction? That stands on its own. And it could, Bassett argued, be the very thing that cools the conflict — resetting global attention toward something so profound that launching another thousand missiles suddenly seems beside the point.
Obama’s maneuver on the Brian Tyler Cohen podcast — confirming UFOs are real, doubling down with the Area 51 clarification, then backing out within 24 hours out of protocol respect for the sitting president — tripped a switch. Trump’s Truth Social post calling for the release of all files gave cover to whistleblowers, witnesses, and congressional members alike. The dominoes are in motion.
Every Day We Wait, More People Die
I want to be direct about something that sometimes gets lost in the abstraction of geopolitical analysis: these are human beings dying. Every single day. In Gaza. In Ukraine. In Iran. In every conflict zone where the ancient program of kill-or-be-killed is running its course.
And it is not only the people who die in the initial strike. The destruction of buildings is the destruction of homes, jobs, schools, hospitals, the entire infrastructure of a civilization. It accelerates death through secondary causes — starvation, lack of medical care, contaminated water, displacement, despair. The cycle of death, once begun, adds casualties to its list every single day the bombing continues.
What about the animals? The farmers? The flow of essential, life-supporting supplies — food, water, medicine — that simply stops when infrastructure collapses? The child who was going to grow up to be someone extraordinary, whose destiny got ripped out from under them because they were in the wrong place when a missile landed? That child’s contribution to humanity — whatever it would have been — is gone forever.
Murder is murder. Killing is killing. I do not support it in any form, from any side, for any rationale. There is no possible positive outcome from war. We are all connected. What happens there affects prices here, affects the supply chain, affects the grief that ripples out through every family touched by loss. There are no clean hands in a bombing campaign.
Bassett said it plainly: “The future of this world is not going to be because only the good sides win the violent conflicts and the bad people get obliterated. It’s going to finally work out when everybody understands that engaging others on the basis of violence is childish nonsense in the context of this galaxy.”
The extraterrestrials who have been visiting us for 80 documented years — shutting down nuclear facilities, delivering messages to contactees, demonstrating through their very existence that advanced technology and mutual annihilation are not inevitable partners — are watching us smack each other with sand shovels in the dirt. They have gone to extraordinary effort to warn us. They could have disabled our weapons permanently. They did not. They let us turn them back on. Why? Because this is our test. Our work. Our choice.
Will They Intervene? The Honest Answer
My husband Sasha and I have spent decades researching the pre-Anunnaki record, the Sumerian texts, the history of the nuclear war that the Anunnaki themselves fought — and lost control of. Enki walked out of the council when they discussed bombing Sodom. He said no. He would not sanction it. And yet it happened anyway.
I believe — based on downloads, research, and a lifetime of contact experience — that intervention is possible. That Enki, who is our creator and who does not want to lose his experiment, will not stand by while we destroy ourselves entirely. The Jean Dixon prediction, recorded in her own handwriting, places a blonde American president starting something significant in March 2026 — with a major follow-up event by July. We are watching that unfold in real time.
But Bassett’s counterpoint is one I respect deeply: if intervention is guaranteed, why warn us at all? Why shut down the nukes and then let us turn them back on? Why the decades of messages to contactees? Why the elaborate dance of soft disclosure through Obama and Trump? None of that effort makes sense if the outcome is already decided.
His conclusion, and mine too after sitting with it: we cannot afford to operate as though rescue is coming. We must act as though it is entirely up to us. Because it may be. And even if it isn’t — even if intervention does come — the version of humanity that earns that intervention is the one that tried. That stood up. That grabbed the narrative and refused to go quietly into the programmed apocalypse someone else designed for us.
The Tech Interference Question
I want to document something that happened during our broadcast, because it fits a pattern I have observed too many times to dismiss as coincidence. Bassett dropped off the call repeatedly. He had to relocate mid-show. The connection stuttered, froze, and cut out at multiple critical moments — particularly when the conversation was building toward its most coherent and urgent points.
This is not the first time. When I have worked on particularly sensitive disclosure material in other contexts, I have experienced audio garbling, sudden platform failures, and AI systems that abruptly claimed not to have access to information I had just provided in the same session. Whether this is coordinated interference, algorithmic suppression, or simple technical fragility under load, the effect is the same: the signal gets broken exactly when it matters most.
I am not claiming a shadowy hand behind every dropped call. I am saying: notice the pattern. Document it. And do not let it stop you. We adapt. We keep going. We find another way to get the message through.
John Titor II and the Clone Testimony
Among the most striking testimonies I have received in years of interviewing came from John Titor II, who appeared live on our show and stated plainly that he was a clone — activated at age 27 with a complete fabricated history implanted in his memory. A life he believed he had lived. A past that had never actually happened. He woke into existence as a fully formed adult, complete with false memories, in one of the underground laboratory programs that various whistleblowers have described over the years.
Whatever one makes of that claim, it points directly to the central question of this article: what is authentic experience, and what is installed programming? If a person can be given an entire fictional biography and believe it completely — feel it, remember it, defend it — then how certain can any of us be about the origins of our own deepest beliefs?
This is not a counsel of despair. It is an invitation to inquiry. To hold our certainties a little more lightly. To ask: where did this belief come from? Who benefits from me holding it? What would I think if this layer were removed?
What Kind of Humans Do We Want to Be?
Near the end of our broadcast, after Bassett had dropped off for the final time and TJ and I were holding the space alone, I found myself asking our audience a question I want to ask again here: What will you do if you live forever?
Post-disclosure technology — the biomed beds, the healing technologies, the anti-aging advances that are almost certainly part of what gets released alongside confirmation of the ET presence — could extend human life dramatically. Neil Freer, who had direct contact with Enki as a teenager and spent his life preparing for this moment, froze his head before he died. He believed they would bring him back. I believe that too.
But if we live for hundreds of thousands of years, we will be living in the world we are creating right now. You will not be leaving it to your grandchildren. You will be inhabiting it yourself, century after century. Every war you tolerated. Every ecosystem you allowed to be destroyed. Every child whose destiny was bombed away. You will carry all of it, in a body that does not age out of accountability.
The question of what kind of humans we want to be is not abstract. It is the most practical question we face. And it starts now, today, in how we treat each other on a live broadcast when the connection is dropping and the programming is activating and someone is holding up unrelated book covers in the corner of the screen.
We point it out. With love. We say: come back. We need you here. We need all of us here, clear and present and fighting for the same thing.
The Agreement
In my dream, the agreement was simple: we watch for each other’s programming. We name it without shame. We help each other come back to center. We do not use it as a weapon. We use it as a mirror.
The disclosure community has been fighting an uphill battle for decades not only because the powers that be suppressed the truth, but because we kept fracturing from within — triggered by our own unexamined conditioning, hijacked by planted disruptors, divided by ego and fear and the residue of trauma none of us has fully processed.
We are 80 seconds from midnight. The window is real. The stakes are everything. And the version of us that walks through this portal into the post-disclosure world needs to be cleaner, clearer, and more honest than the version that got us here.
That work begins with the willingness to say: I am programmed. Show me where. I want to know. I want to be free. And I will hold that same space for you.
