Author and experiencer Whitley Strieber outlines a model of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) in which control over the human soul, not technology or territory, is the central objective as governments edge toward wider UAP disclosure. In a wide-ranging discussion, he links implants, abductions, private-sector secrecy, theological interpretations, AI manipulation, and a potential 2027 ‘door of the mind’ moment into a single high-stakes framework for humanity’s near future.
