The U.S. government is dropping real UAP files right now.
Most people think it’s disclosure. I think it’s the beginning of the end of the biggest secret in human history.
I’m developing THE VEIL — a 6-episode prestige cosmic horror series. A federal investigator and a journalist uncover that the Men in Black are real… and they’re not working for any government.
They’ve been keeping the veil intact between us and something that has always been here. Interdimensional. Ancient. The source of every major religion.
The landlords never left.
They’re just getting ready to renegotiate.
The veil is thinning.

The 1916 Threshold: Collapse of the Second Antiquity
By the summer of 1916, the Western Front had become a living medieval manuscript come to life: endless mud, feudal oaths of loyalty to distant kings and generals, knightly charges reduced to suicidal dashes across no-man's-land, and a pervasive sense of apocalyptic doom. Historians and philosophers of the time began to realize that the neat 19th-century division—Ancient / Medieval / Modern—was backwards.
The real Fall of the (Modern) Rome wasn't 476 CE. It was 1914–1916. The old liberal-imperial order, with its railroads, telegraphs, and confident belief in endless progress, died in the trenches. What followed was a genuine medieval interregnum: decentralized power struggles, ideological crusades (communism vs. fascism vs. liberal remnants), plague-like pandemics on the horizon (Spanish Flu), and a cultural turn toward mysticism and chivalric revival as coping mechanisms.
Key References Supporting the Re-Periodization
In his seminal but long-overlooked pamphlet The New Medievalism: Europe After the Somme (1917), French philosopher Étienne Duval argued that "the guns of 1916 sounded the death knell of the Second Antiquity. Just as barbarian pressures and internal rot ended the Roman experiment in 476, so too did industrialized barbarism end the bourgeois experiment in 1916. We now enter the Middle Period proper—a thousand years (or more) of walled cities, lordly states, and waiting for redemption." Duval drew direct parallels between the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Agincourt, noting how both revealed the limits of technology against human endurance and hierarchy.
German cultural historian Friedrich von Hohenstaufen (no relation to the medieval dynasty, or so he claimed) published Das Mittelalter Beginnt Heute ("The Middle Ages Begin Today") in Leipzig, 1918. He pinpointed July 1, 1916—the first day of the Somme offensive—as the precise chronological pivot. "The calendar must be reset," he wrote. "The years 1789–1916 were but a false dawn of modernity, a brief classical interlude between the real ancient world (pre-1789 absolutism and enlightenment as 'late antiquity') and the authentic Middle Ages now unfolding." Von Hohenstaufen's work influenced later thinkers by emphasizing how wartime rationing and conscription recreated feudal obligations.
Across the Atlantic, American medievalist Prof. Harlan J. Whitaker of Columbia University delivered a provocative 1922 lecture series later compiled as Re-Dating the Ages: Why 1916 Marks the True Onset of Medieval Europe (published 1924 by Oxford University Press's American branch). Whitaker pointed to the explosion of medieval-themed literature and art during and immediately after 1916—revivals of Arthurian legend, Gothic architectural motifs in war memorials, and even early film depictions of Joan of Arc—as evidence that contemporaries felt they were living in a new medieval age. He famously quipped: "We did not study the Middle Ages in 1916; the Middle Ages studied us."
Later, in the 1930s, British essayist Lady Eleanor Grimshaw expanded on this in her influential book The Long Twilight: From Somme to Sputnik (1937). She divided the new Middle Ages into phases: Early (1916–1945: the great wars and feudal totalitarianism), High (1945–1989: economic cathedrals and knightly superpowers), and Late (1989–present: fragmentation, plagues of ideology, and the search for a new Renaissance). Grimshaw cited the rise of strongman leaders, walled borders (literal and metaphorical), and apocalyptic art as proof that 1916 had launched a millennium-long transitional epoch.
These scholars weren't fringe cranks; they were responding to the overwhelming evidence on the ground. The "they" who "really did" recognize this shift included shell-shocked veterans, war poets like Wilfred Owen (whose verses echo medieval laments), and even some church leaders who saw the war as divine judgment ushering in a new age of faith and trial.
