Overview
In a recent episode of TruthSeekers, host Steven Cambian examined a 2010 interview between UFO researcher Kerry Cassidy and New‑Age author Ashayana Deane. The segment, titled “Ascension Mechanics,” was presented as part of Cambian’s broader effort to evaluate claims circulating within the UFO and secret‑space‑program (SSP) communities. Cambian framed the discussion as a critical review of what he describes as “grifters” who blend speculative cosmology with financial solicitations. By revisiting the archival footage, he aimed to separate verifiable data from the elaborate myth‑making that has become common in certain fringe circles.
Return to Social Media Platforms
Cambian opened the broadcast by announcing his renewed presence on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). He noted that mainstream platforms often deprioritize skeptical or investigative content in favor of click‑bait, yet he argued that “reaching a wider audience is essential for public awareness of genuine research.” This strategic move reflects a growing trend among independent investigators who rely on direct‑to‑audience streaming to bypass algorithmic filters and maintain editorial independence.
Influence of Ashayana Deane
The core of Cambian’s analysis centered on Ashayana Deane, author of the Voyagers series. He asserted that contemporary SSP figures such as Corey Goode and Ismael Perez have “essentially lifted” Deane’s invented mythologies to construct their own followings. Cambian described Deane as “a foundational figure for many modern New‑Age grifts,” suggesting that her elaborate narratives serve as a template for later claimants. By tracing these intellectual lineages, he sought to illustrate how a single source can proliferate across disparate UFO‑related sub‑communities.
Pseudo‑Scientific Terminology
Cambian critiqued the dense, self‑coined vocabulary Deane employed during the 2010 interview. Terms such as “Keylontic Transmission,” “Guardian Alliance,” and “Veca, Ecka, and Kathara Systems” were highlighted as examples of “invented jargon that masquerades as science.” Deane described Keylontic Transmission as an “electronic data stream from extra‑dimensional entities,” distinguishing it from traditional channeling, while Merkaba Fields were presented as “light‑body structures enabling teleportation through stargates.” Cambian argued that the complexity of these concepts functions to “mesmerize audiences and create a perceived authority,” rather than to convey testable hypotheses.
Claims of Extinction, Evacuation, and the “Unnaturalness” of Death
Among the more extraordinary assertions, Deane claimed a galactic event on March 25, 2007 had “forced closed” natural energy pathways in the solar system, initiating an “evacuation” period for humanity. She identified 2012 and 2022 as pivotal milestones in a timeline that, according to her, would culminate in planetary catastrophe unless individuals achieved “ascension.” Additionally, Deane argued that physical death is “not a natural condition” but a result of “distortions in the planet’s stargate structures,” proposing that her mechanics could enable bodies to materialize and dematerialize at will. Cambian concluded that these predictions have not materialized, labeling the narrative “pseudo‑science babble” designed to sustain a dependent following for financial gain.
