I may feel like an alien in this city's rush, where buildings replace nature's touch, and bars echo louder than the stars' symphony. But I know, deep within, that I am here on Earth to seek something more profound. To explore mountains that touch the sky, bathe in the vastness of the ocean's embrace, and witness the celestial ballet of stars. I will not limit myself to idolizing mere mortal beings, nor waste my time in idle gossip. I choose to dive deep into the profound meaning of my existence, to understand the purpose set forth by the divine.

We know from experience in the United States that once you demonize Chinese people, all Asian people living in this country face the brunt of that rhetoric, and you see it not just in spy balloons and the reactions surrounding it and TikTok and Huawei, but also in modern-day racist alien land laws.

But Congress can’t learn of them. We’ve had hard times since the beginning of the Biden administration obtaining quantification of information. There have been delays of reports that are regularly published by DHS.

What we see here is a star, weighing about 25 times the mass of our Sun, moving periodically( every 10 days or so) around something' invisible,' that we can not see in the data, the analysis tells us that this other' thing' must be at least 9 times more massive than our Sun. The main part of the analysis is elimination : what can weigh nine solar masses, and not emit any light ? A black hole is the only possibility we have got left( this, or a fat invisible alien...).

This is a common thread for the history of Asians in America whether it’s an economic crisis or somebody to blame for the World Trade Center being destroyed: It’s Asians, yellow and brown people that have historically been scapegoated and blamed for these things, it goes to a threat that is more than a couple of hundred years old — blaming a group that is seen as the forever-enemy alien.

While no event can compare to alien invaders arriving, COVID-19 has been the biggest shock to global society in decades, the way the public and governments responded to it influenced me in writing how the public reacts to aliens.

I think my focus on how governments react to the [alien invasion] threat, coordinate with each other, and act towards their own population is unique, and politically-inclined readers will enjoy that aspect, additionally, so much of our mass culture has becoming overbearingly ‘woke’ to the point it detracts from the actual content. This book is decidedly not woke, and while I try to avoid the pitfall of being over-the-top in my political points, I think fans of conservative commentary will welcome an entertaining book that is also unafraid to speak to the virtues of family, faith, and love of country.
