Exopolitics Institute Advisory Board

Duke Brickhouse – Chief Editor, ExoNews.org

Duke Brickhouse, Chief Editor –  Duke is a well-traveled business and media attorney and former trial lawyer from Virginia Beach.  He’s received a B.S. Degree in Business from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia and a law degree from George Mason University School of Law (recently renamed the Antonin Scalia Law School) with a focus on business and media law.  He remains a member in good standing of the Virginia State Bar.  During the seven years that Duke served as an Assistant Public Defender for the City of Virginia Beach, and then as a private defense attorney specializing in divorce, juvenile, criminal and traffic matters, he also developed a media law practice working with film and television producers and music recording studios in Southeastern Virginia.  In the late 90’s Duke accepted a position with the German film production company, UFA FilmproduktionGmbH, working in Los Angeles with UFA’s distribution partner, Warner Bros Television Distribution.  In 2000 he moved to the main office in Babelsberg (Berlin) as the Head of Legal Affairs. 

With the film company’s ‘downsizing’ by a merger involving its parent company, BMG Music, Duke returned to Virginia where he experienced a spiritual reawakening.  He took a position as the resident administrator for a prominent New Age church in Virginia Beach.  Having long-been a student of history and political science, Duke embarked on an intensive study of so-called ‘conspiracies’ from Roswell to JFK, scouring YouTube and other websites, reading books and attending conferences.  Over the past decade he has gained a comprehensive knowledge of this subject matter culminating with the revelation of a secret space program and breakaway civilization controlled by a powerful hierarchy of selfish and greedy negative beings.  Duke has become very familiar with the researchers, whistleblowers, and celebrity personalities in the disclosure community.  Duke is now ready to use his accumulated experience and his knowledge of our true reality to aid in the imminent public disclosure of the existence of the advanced technologies at our disposal, and other extraterrestrial groups – some poised to assist us while others bent on harming humanity – to begin to heal our badly deceived and abused species, and to help bring forth a heightened awareness and spiritual consciousness.
