    Earth runs on implanted goals and fearsAsked if humanity is being controlled, Miles says yes - that war, poverty, disease, and starvation come from a mechanism of power and control built on implanted goals and fears, not from who humans really are.

Art Bell celebrates his return to WABC in New York City and shares news items ranging from a well-preserved furry limb found in Siberian permafrost that may belong to a Yeti, to mysterious gelatin-like material appearing in an Oregon family's yard, to scientists determining the universe is finite and shaped like a soccer ball. He also offers personal reflections on Rush Limbaugh's painkiller addiction and the reality of chronic back pain.

Television producer and adventurer Robert Miles describes an extraordinary experience that began one morning aboard his boat in Honolulu. A woman materialized in his stateroom surrounded by dazzling colors and vibrating energy, instructing him to imagine himself at LaGuardia Airport. He found himself instantly transported there, boarded a circular craft, and took a brief flight during which he watched Earth shrink to the size of a dime through a porthole window.

At a briefing conducted by Federation commanders named Regent Vars and Exeus, Miles learned that Earth serves as a prison planet where deposed leaders from across the galaxy have been banished. He was shown images of ancient civilizations including Atlantis and Lemuria and told that wars on Earth target populations rather than leaders, perpetuating cycles of control. Miles says the experience permanently altered his worldview and inspired his book Safe Space.
