A Review of Daniel O'Connor,
The First and Last Deception (Rensselaer, New York, 2025).
This book follows on from his 2023 work,
Only Man Bears His Image, and the author, who is a former engineer (including in quantum physics) but now teaches philosophy and is an expert in same and theology, is certainly the greatest authority on the subject of the Alien Hoax now living.
To begin with a couple of negatives, perversely because this is a great and important book! He ends in the Appendices by giving a number of enticing references to his 2023 work, which is fair enough because he is clearly the only person who has written about this extensively, but it might have helped to summarise a little of what he said in that work there, rather than have the reader thinking that he needs to get the earlier book as well.
The second criticism I would add is on the overall question of people who claim to have seen or experienced, alien craft or abductions etc. Because there is obviously no such thing as UFOs or extra terrestrial aliens whatsoever, which of course he rightly states and proves, these therefore require some explanation and I think its fair to say that he answers that in about four ways:
– Some are making it up, and for example present no proof at all.
– Some are mistaking other phenomenon for UFO sightings, e.g. advanced classified government technology.
– Some are encouraged to make up these experiences by psychiatrists, and related practitioners, who are implanting false memories in their patients.
– Some are seeing demons disguised as UFOs.
That last one is quite an interesting take on this, and he does indeed point the reader towards extensive evidence that this is true, UFO sightings that vanished at Christian exhortations or Holy Water etc. This then is his main explanation for those who seem to be telling the truth about their experiences, a category that he does acknowledge.
Where I would differ from him, and criticise this a little, is that I would add another category. I would say the Alien Hoax is driven by very powerful Occult groups out there (and in practice he does say that when it comes to the media, especially Hollywood, and unfortunately even including Church experts and channels) who are very well connected into the military and intelligence apparatuses of many governments, especially the US, and who are deliberately hoaxing these phenomenon. In otherwords yes, these people did see what looked totally like an alien craft in the sky or whatever, because actually a government or Occult group agency deliberately created a hologram (or real aircraft) that looks exactly like a real spaceship. There are even CIA documents out now that show that agency deliberately creating 'alien abductions' in South America (
https://www.thepulse.one/p/some-ufo-abductions-were-simulated ). So hence some people have very real 'UFO' experiences, but don't understand that these are elaborate hoaxes by very powerful government bodies, and this category O'Connor does not seem to explore at all.
At any rate this is an extensive work which would be impossible even to summarise in this short review, but suffice it to say that it is utterly incredible the degree to which the Alien Hoax is embraced and driven by the Occult world, and anti-Christian forces in general. Thats where they all hang out, if you want to meet your friendly local Satanist get down to the nearest UFO research gathering, because its awesome the links between the two. This also goes back centuries, if not millennia, with anti-Christian heresies (like what Giordano Bruno embraced) or personalities, like Voltaire, or even other religions (like Buddhism, which is big into the Alien Hoax and also is exceptionally anti-Christian and Occult like) etc etc. A related hoax/heresy is where they claim that AI, Artificial Intelligence, is going to become human like in its embrace of intelligence, so creating a kind of Deus ex machina, another Occult dream.
In any case rather than re-narrate this extensive book I will just add my take on where this is heading. I think the very powerful Occult groups, (Occultism is the religion of the Globalists, NOT Judaism, although some Occultists claim to be Jewish, like the Rothschilds) have an agenda of seeking to bring about the Apocalyptic 'End Times', with the Anti-Christ etc, and are moving our modern day society towards that goal. Crazy as it sounds, they believe in these Bible prophecies but nonetheless look upon Lucifer as the hero of that story, and hence want to bring it about. This view, incidentally, is not that far from where this book is coming from, O'Connor talks a lot about the 'End Times', although he is not referring there to the literal end of the world, only to the reign of the Anti-Christ etc.
Anyway the point is that these Globalists seem to be trying to bring about a world government, a totalitarian government, meaning it is to be an horrific dictatorship, and are latching onto issues or movements or just hoaxes that further this end. For example the climate change hoax is driving us towards a type of world government structure trading in carbon credits, but also bearing down on individuals and companies causing them to be almost conscious of how much they breathe. The last pandemic has settled into a world wide agreement to hand over power in that area exclusively to the WHO (taking out the discretion of the governments of nation states) and the totalitarian aspect of this area was obviously seen only a few years ago. Anyway there are numerous such fields where you can see this pattern developing.
But if Daniel O'Connor is right, that the 'End Times' type scenario is relevant here, then you have to add in a new element. That new element is that this future (and its not that far away) totalitarian world government will also compel its citizens to worship Lucifer. (Yes, its bats, I agree, but don't shoot the messenger here, is not as if I am in favour of it!) How are they going to do that, I hear you ask? Well thats the story of this book, it seems that the Occultists are gathering their forces over the next hill to ambush us all on this subject. They are about to launch their attack on an unsuspecting world public, with probably Covid style media and state brainwashing. However they are going to charge behind a shield wall. They are not going to call themselves Luciferians, they are simply going to launch the Alien Hoax in a big way, the 'First Contact'. That in turn is designed to crush or usurp Christianity (they are going to say that even Marian Apparitions are actually alien visitations) and slowly seep into the popular consciousness the Occult philosophies.
George Orwell said that "if you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever," and that I think is what the Globalists have in mind for us all, unless they are stopped!
