Hiroaki “Jay” Aeba has a spot in the lineup just after Donald Trump Jr.

By David Gilbert

The lineup of the Conservative Political Action Conference this week includes political heavyweights like former President Donald Trump, Cancun-loving Sen. Ted Cruz, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. It also includes the political head of a Japanese religious cult that promotes nationalism, xenophobia and the belief that its leader is the reincarnation of an alien from Venus who created life on earth millions of years ago.

On Friday afternoon at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, Hiroaki “Jay” Aeba, a prominent Japanese conservative, will address CPAC about the threat China poses to the U.S., taking a prime spot in the lineup just after Donald Trump Jr.

His speaker bio on the CPAC website notes that Aeba is the chairman of the Japanese Conservative Union (JCU), a right-wing political organization, and that he helped found CPAC Japan, which has been running for the last four years in Tokyo.

What isn’t mentioned is the central role Aeba plays in a Japanese cult called Happy Science, whose leader believes he is the Messiah and sells “miracle cures” for COVID-19.

“Happy Science is a Japanese cult run by a man who claims to be the incarnation of multiple Gods while pretending to channel the psychic spirits of anyone from Quetzalcoatl to Bashar al-Assad to Natalie Portman,” Sarah Hightower, a researcher and expert on Japanese cults, told VICE News.

There's no way that alien would be coming legally, and they are even against legal immigration.

Pa. woman linked to 'alien reptile' cult must stay jailed for killing boyfriend


A Pennsylvania woman who claimed she was under the influence of an alien reptile cult when she shot and killed her boyfriend will stay locked in prison on Earth for a while. A state Superior Court panel ensured that by upholding the third-degree murder conviction and 15- to 40-year jail term of 46-year-old Barbara Rogers.

Pocono Mountain Regional Police said that on July 15, 2017, Rogers, an Army veteran who had been discharged for medical reasons, placed the muzzle of a pistol against the forehead of Stephen Mineo, 32, in the apartment they shared in Monroe County and pulled the trigger. She then called 911.

“Rogers disclosed that she and Mineo were members of a religious cult,” Senior Judge John L. Musmanno wrote in the state court opinion denying Rogers’ appeal. “Rogers stated that she and Mineo had recently become upset with the leader of the cult, who believed that Rogers was actually a reptile.”

“Rogers’s and Mineo’s issues with the cult had caused tension in their relationship. Rogers also stated that she killed Mineo because Mineo wanted her to kill him, and that she was under a large amount of stress due to the issues with the cult,” Musmanno wrote.

The group’s “foundational belief is that a race of sentient, devil-worshipping, shape-shifting reptiles from outer space has infiltrated human civilization. Through mind control and body-snatching, these ‘reptilians’ purportedly seek to install totalitarian world government, thereby bringing about rule of the Antichrist.”
