Ray's X-Blog

In my review in Ray X X-Rayer #160 of the American Horror Story: Death Valley TV mini-series I mention how Valiant Thor is involved with the evil gray aliens.  Valiant is known in UFO conspiracy circles from the non-nonfiction book Stranger at the Pentagon by Dr. Frank Stranges (1967).  I'm more than happy to give Val eXposure.  Did you know he was a close friend of Mamie Eisenhower?  Read all about it in XR #160.

It’s thought lead pants might alleviate the problem but the radiation inten...

(He also claimed he got Covid 19 from wearing a mask but I digress.) During a subcommittee hearing he asked the associate deputy chief for the National Forest System if climate change could be fixed by altering the orbit of the moon or the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
