not sure whether to file this under "further colonization of the Imaginal by mundane archonic forces" or "the truth is much worse than they're telling us."
best case: they've finally found the edge of what material reductionism can tell us about the world, and are treating it like any other border to be militarized. with any luck, that means their ontological project has reached its limits.
worst case: the James Webb telescope bumped into one of the Elder Gods, and they're slow-rolling the news.
also a good opportunity for paranormal research: Mark Fisher's furious ghost should be positively incandescent after having his work pressganged into military discourse.
Is it odd of me, or perhaps deranged, that I'm lit up with pleasure and affirmation -- either a fiction-maker's version or a more existential one, I can't tell -- at every possibility you've described?
personally, i'd take a tentacled monstrosity from beyond the outer darkness over, say, a gamma ray—but it wouldn't be my first choice. i'm wholeheartedly with you on the other two though.
Creepy and really odd to read this after rediscovering that I already subscribe to Peter Levenda's substack, which is even weirder. If you are not familiar with his writing, check out his Sinister Forces substack.

Standard apocalyptic horror? There's a dog soldier in all of us. :-)

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll definitely check it out.
