WikiLeaks Documents Discuss Extraterrestrials, UFOs

(Before It's News)

The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.

Here’s a look at some of the mentions of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extraterrestrials in the U.S. government cables released by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

1. Prominent Lithuanian Politician Says UFOs Directed by Russians to Exert Influence

A 2006 cable from the American Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania, recounts a cryptic comment by the Prime Minister’s adviser Albinas Januska. The cable states: “Reflecting his self-image as a patriot fighting off Russian influence, he [Januska] also warned of the existence of ‘a group of people, who are directed from the East, a group of UFOs, who are making influence from the Cosmos,’ adding elliptically that, ‘there also exists a decreasing group of persons, who are trying to rationally analyze the situation and to objectively evaluate what is happening.’”

UFOs can refer to unidentified foreign organizations as well as to unidentified flying objects; aside from his reference to the cosmos, it could seem Januska meant the former. Januska held much power in the country, as is noted in the cable: “Albinas Januska’s continuing influence in Lithuanian politics cannot be overstated. In addition to being a cunning strategist, he is extraordinarily well-connected among Lithuania’s political class.”

2. Tajik Mayor Says There’s Life on Other Planets, Peace and Unity on Earth Necessary

Tajikstan is a Central Asian country bordered by Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. The mayor of the Tajik city of Dushanbe, Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev, met with U.S. Ambassador Ken Gross in 2010. Gross summarized his meeting with Ubaidulloev in a classified document later released by Wikileaks.

The talk mostly concerned opening an American corner in the city, upcoming elections, the losses suffered by Tajiks and Americans in Afghanistan, and a dam project. But the topic of extraterrestrials also entered the conversation.

Gross wrote: “[Ubaidulloev] asserted the existence of life on other planets, caveating this by noting that we should focus on solving our problems on Earth.” Gross quoted Ubaidulloev: “We know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.”

The chat was not a pleasant one for Gross, who summed it up as “a right painful 90 minutes.” Gross characterized Ubaidulloev as “difficult, unpredictable, and sometimes hostile.” During their meeting, the mayor obviously lied about free elections, voluntary contributions to the dam project, and free media, according to Gross.

Rael, leader of the Raelian movement.

3. UFO Religion in Canada Allegedly Tries to Clone Humans

A couple of unclassified documents, one listed as coming from the American Embassy in Ottawa and the other from the American Consulate in Montreal, express some concern over the Raelian religion in Canada.

The Raelians believe humanity was created by extraterrestrials as a lab experiment, according to the documents. They had targeted high schools in the province of Quebec to persuade Roman Catholics to renounce their faith. The Raelians even had a plan to give students crosses to burn, according to the cables.

One of the documents cites local news analysis in stating that: “The ultimate goal of Raelians is to create life in a laboratory which would make human beings immortal and enable them to create another civilization on another planet. In the meantime … [they] want to build an embassy in Israel to welcome the Elohim when they come back in 2035. The group has also been criticized for advocating the use of genetics for eugenic attempts at improving the human race.”

At the time the cable was written, the group had claimed to have successfully cloned a human.

Other references to extraterrestrials and UFOs in the WikiLeaks documents include the following:

Nobutaka Machimura (Credit: machimura.net)

Belarussian Minister of Defense Yuriy Zhadobin said in an unclassified cable that the ministry no longer investigates paranormal phenomena as it did in Soviet times due to lack of funds. Another unclassified cable mentioned that Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Machimura believes extraterrestrials have flown spaceships near Earth and he was not happy about his government’s first official dismissal of all UFO reports. Another discussed the tsunami predictions made by French author Eric Julien who has said he was abducted by aliens. The cable states that Julien “claimed he had received information psychically,” learning that “a comet fragment would crash into the Atlantic Ocean on May 25, 2006, and cause a giant tsunami.” The prediction did not come to pass.

D.N.A. Reveals Humans Are Someone Else’s Product (VIDEO)

(Before It's News)

Our genes have an intelligently designed “manufacturer’s stamp” inside them, written aeons ago elsewhere in our galaxy? Such a “designer label” would be an indelible stamp of a master extraterrestrial civilization that preceded us by many millions or billions of years. As their ultimate legacy, they recast the Milky Way in their own biological image.

What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad… This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland, and we will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all were offering is the truth – nothing more.

Farmer wants reparations from aliens for crop circle damage

(Before It's News)

A crop circle appeared in the Czech Republic town of Boskovice on Saturday, June 28.

This large pattern reportedly appeared overnight, occupying nearly 65,000 square feet of Jan Karlik’s corn field. And he is understandably furious. The crop circle has attracted lots of attention from curious individuals who come into the field, causing additional crop damage to the already approximately $1,000 worth of damage caused by the design. Karlik wants reparations from whoever created the crop circle. He states, “I don’t care where they were from, even if they are aliens, they need to be made to pay.”

The Croatian Times describes this design as “a 4-pointed star, framed by a circle with mysterious Stonehenge-shaped blocks set in a smaller circle.” A local government spokesperson explains, “The corn is not broken, it’s just bent to the ground. But it is beginning to attract a lot of attention and the farmer wants his land protected from curious visitors who are likely to make the matter worse if they start walking over the ground as well.”

Farmers in England whose fields become targets of crop circles are all too familiar with the frustration of crop circle enthusiasts trampling their fields to observe the formations. That is why a crop circle access pass program was launched last year. This pass program works by granting purchasers of the pass access to participating fields, requiring the pass holders to agree to a set of rules that ensure the respectful use of the farmers’ crops. Participating farmers split the proceeds from the access pass sales.

Unfortunately for Karlik, no such program exists in the Czech Republic. The Croatian Times reports that local police are “keeping an open mind.” And a police spokesperson states, “Extraterrestrial civilisations and the influence of air vortices are not excluded, but we are currently concentrating on looking for human culprits.”

Trailer Park Encounter

(Before It's News)

A friend in Canada told me about a large orange orb that recently passed over his house…similar to an object he encountered, but much closer, several years ago. I started digging into the archives and found another orb sighting that progressed into a startling event for the witnesses:

Springboro, PA – 7/1/2000: Hello, It’s 5/24/10 – I’m 26 year’s old with two little girls…

I don’t really know who to tell my story to.

I’ve had these strange sorts of events happening to me throughout my life. They were coupled with different feelings… confusion, fear, disbelief.

None of it really made sense until I saw in detail what I’m about to tell you. I knew that everything I had questioned before was no longer questionable. It was undisputed in my mind. It has been going on my entire life and now there is finally an event that proves (to me) that this is real.

I’ll start by telling you that my cousin Bud was with me when this happened… He has been in the navy now for about 8 years. He is a trustworthy person and his word means a lot to everyone that knows him. Not only is it me telling the story, but he can verify that what I’m telling you is true.

My cousin and myself were sitting on the back porch of my house (which was also my bedroom). It was my bedroom at the time because it was a room enclosed with glass walls. Some of the sections of the glass had been removed and either had screens remaining or nothing left in them at all. Since it was summer, this wasn’t really a problem. I actually loved being in a room that allowed me to look outside at nature and even the stars.

We had a couch-bed in the room that was unfolded at the time. It was unfolded for most of the summer so that my cousin could sleep over and “hang out” with me. The backside of the couch-bed was placed against the glass, so the unfolded bed occupied the space in the room facing the house.

We were laying in bed trying to sleep but we spent most of our time talking instead. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a red glowing orb that came into view from behind the house and was slowly moving across the sky.

I got Bud’s attention and we both watched the orb move across the treeline that was north of the trailer park. It seemed to not be as far away as a plane should be. It look to be about the size of a basketball approximately 50 yards away. I then realized that it was getting closer and that it clearly was not a plane.

As it moved across the sky, we watched as this incredible UFO was slowly moving toward a treeline where we assumed it would disappear out of our lives forever.

But instead of disappearing into the sky… I could still see it through the trees moving towards the ground. I could clearly see it flickering through the trees and I would estimate it to be approximately 10 feet off of the ground as it entered the field on the left. It had clearly made a 90 degree turn. At this point in time I realized that it was probably in the field that was on the other side of the treeline. (Treeline: small patch of woods separating the trailer park and a field.)

It traveled the length of the field before I could not see it through the trees anymore. I would estimate the length of the field to be about 200 yards.

My cousin and myself sat in awe even after we could not see the UFO anymore. He turned to me and said “let’s go check it out!” I sternly answered with, “hell no! are you f**king crazy??” I was not sure what I had just seen but I had a gut feeling that I did not want to find out. So, we waited… waited… two young boys waiting to see something else as amazing as what they had just witnessed.

Then it happened…

A flash, as if someone had taken a picture from a camera, appeared at my friend Serena’s trailer. It was on the other side of her trailer, preventing me from seeing the source of the flash.

Approximately two minutes later, another flash… this time, from the side of her trailer. I still couldn’t clearly see the source of the flash.

At this point, my cousin and I were starting to think something strange was happening.

A few moments later, another flash. This time, I could clearly see the source of the flash… nothing. It appeared as if the flash was angled towards Serena’s house, although there was no source of the flash. There was absolutely nothing visible to the naked eye that created this OBVIOUS flash. Bud and myself both KNEW that flashes that are that distinct do NOT come from NOTHING.

We waited about five more minutes still staring out into the trailer court through my glass room. We were now more worried about what was in the court than what we had seen earlier. Without speaking to each other for what seemed like five or ten minutes, another flash happened.

This time it was at my friend “T”‘s house – directly in front of my house. The flash was on the other side of the trailer and appeared to be aimed at his mothers bedroom. Again we waited… wondering what the flashes were.

Another couple minutes had gone by. Another flash.

This time, it was clearly pointed at “T”‘s window and there was NOTHING at the source of the flash. In my mind I could pinpoint, to the INCH, where the flash had started, yet there was nothing there. Bud looked to me and said “what the hell are those flashes?” I had no reply. I wanted to remain silent and hidden from whatever had been making the flashes.

Again we waited.

About another five minutes passed when there was a flash on the other side of Mr. Wilson’s house. (That wasn’t his real name, but we knew him as Mr. Wilson in the trailer park.)

So, we waited what seemed like forever. In reality, it was probably 15 to 20 minutes with no sign of flashes or anything similar to them.

Quite suddenly, Bud looked at me and said “well, I’m getting tired. wake me if anything happens.” He then put his head right down on his hands where he was sitting (propped up on his knees on the backside of the couch bed).

I said, “okay” but wondered how anybody in their right mind could just fall asleep that fast after witnessing what we had witnessed. In my mind, I would not go to sleep until the sun was up and people were awake.

I started to get the strange feeling that the happening wasn’t over. Then… I started piecing things together that were quite simple and obvious.

1. Serena lives with her mother and father. There were 3 flashes at her trailer. (aimed at their bedrooms…)
2. “T” lives with his mother. There were 2 flashes at his trailer. (aimed at their bedrooms, also…)
3. Mr. Wilson lives alone. There was one flash.

I figured that if they had gone through flashing every individual, as they went around from left to right in the court, since Wilson was last they had to turn around and come up the other line of trailers… starting with mine.

I almost panicked as I came to the realization of what I believed was true.

I turned my head in the direction of where I believed the thing causing the flash to be. As I turned my head I could clearly see out my window (one that did not have glass or screen in it – open – nothing obstructing my view) an alien. I had turned quick enough to spot him before I saw a flash come from, what seemed like, his forehead……….

When the flash hit me, he disappeared and I realized I was completely paralyzed. As I tried to move my limbs, I looked around to realize that I was no longer on the same part of my bed that I had been during the flash. I was, in fact, at the foot of my bed on my knees staring at the open window as if nothing had happened. Instantly, the numbness was gone.

I grabbed the back of Bud’s leg (because he was in the same position that he had been in when he laid his head down…)

It appeared that he had not moved at all. But somehow I was at least 4 feet away from where I was when I had seen the flash…? When I grabbed his leg I screamed extremely loud “BUD! wake up!” His head came off of his hands with his eyes wide as if he knew something wasn’t right.

We didn’t have to say anything to each other as we both jumped up and ran into the kitchen. We each armed ourselves with butcher knives, not knowing how much time had gone by or if the threat was still around. He asked me what had happened. The only way I could really describe it to him was “I was flashed..” Bud KNEW what I meant by that, which told me that I wasn’t just seeing things and that I wasn’t alone.

After about two minutes of silence.. waiting for something else to happen.. we finally laughed at the fact that we were standing armed in the kitchen with knives… waiting for aliens to come.

It seemed ridiculous to us.. Although it had clearly just happened, we couldn’t really wrap our minds around it. So, we laughed it off and this time we went to bed INSIDE of the house, instead of the room surrounded with glass windows.

This event has made me realize that more than one time in my life – for a split second – I have seen aliens and “the flash”. I have seen them in my bedroom window… I have seen them outside of my tent while sleeping in the woods* the same woods that are between the trailer park and the field I described*… I have had many occasions where, just for a second, I believed that I had been part of an alien abduction. Seeing what I have seen and the fact that I have witnessed a UFO, I have seen that UFO land in my field, I have seen something flash friends and neighbors, and I have been flashed by something that came from the sky… this is not your ordinary alien story because to this day I cannot say that I fully remember ever communicating with an alien or being aboard their “crafts”. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t seen, felt, or experienced something extremely out of the ordinary. My cousin was there as a witness to the UFO and to all six flashes… (the seventh, of course, being my own) I have no explanation as to WHAT exactly the flashes are or WHAT they do to people, but I do think that they were meant for individual people… and to somehow make a person “unaware” that something is going on… whether by putting them to sleep… paralyzing them… or wiping out their memory… I don’t know for certain. What I do know for certain is that I have had many encounters with them and I believe that I truly know how they arrive. To put it bluntly, I’ve caught them in the act of flashing people. I believe that they were completely unaware that I had spotted them, until it was too late. I feel as though they knew that they had made a mistake. I had witnessed their mistake and I almost FELT the reaction of the alien as.. panic. For the instant that I saw him, I knew in my gut that he was as scared of me as I was of him. I knew that their “routine” was not supposed to have been witnessed by anyone. We are supposed to be dazed by the flash when they come.) – MUFON CMS

‘Hammer of Thor’ unearthed: Runes on 1,000-year-old amulet solve mystery of why Viking charms were worn for protection

(Before It's News)

• Legend says Thor’s hammer helped protect Asgard, home of the gods
• Thousands of Viking amulets similar to Thor’s hammer have been found
• This amulet discovery is the only one with the inscription ‘This is hammer’
• It finally ends the debate about whether amulets were a representation of Thor’s hammer

In Norse mythology, Thor’s hammer helped prevent giants from destroying Asgard, the celestial home of the gods.

Thousands of tiny intricate amulets, similar to this weapon, have been found all over the Viking world since the first millennium CE.

But for years, researchers have been unsure whether the amulets, known as ‘torshammere’, were a representation of Thor’s hammer or something else entirely.

Researchers have been unsure whether the amulets, known as torshammere, were a representation of Thor’s hammer or something else entirely. Now archaeologists have unearthed a 10th century torshammere (pictured) on a Danish island that could finally end the debate

Now, archaeologists have unearthed a 10th century torshammere in Købelev, on the Danish island of Lolland, that could finally end the debate on how Thor’s legend influenced Viking jewellery.

The latest find is unusual as it has runes inscribed that reads ‘Hmar x is’  meaning ‘This is a Hammer’.

‘It was the amulet’s protective power that counted, and often we see torshammere and Christian crosses appearing together, providing double protection’, said Peter Pentz, an archaeologist at the National Museum of Denmark.

Both sides of the amulet are shown here with runes seen on the left image.  The latest find is unusual as it has runes inscribed that reads ‘Hmar x is’ (This is a Hammer’)

In Norse mythology, Thor’s hammer helped prevent the giants from destroying Asgard, the home of the gods. Pictured is actor Chris Hemsworth in the 2011 film ‘Thor’

This object is cast in bronze and has traces of silver or tin and gold plating, according to a report in Past Horizons.

Mr Pentz said he grateful to the unknown rune writer who has confirmed that these amulets do depict Thor’s hammer – a lasting symbol of Viking culture.

The fact that the person who made the hammer was literate is a source of fascination for archaeologists.

They claim the amulet could indicate that literacy was widespread among craftspeople.

The runes range in height from 3 to 7mm, so it required precision to inscribe them onto the amulet.

As well as the torshammere, the archaeologists recovered fragments of silver needles and a mould for making brooches.

These suggest that there may have been a workshop producing jewellery nearby.

Museum Lolland-Falster, who reported the discovery, has no plans to excavate the Viking site at Købelev, but said it will continue metal detector surveys.

Thousands of tiny intricate amulets, similar to this weapon, have been found all over the Viking world since the first millennium CE. Pictured are two examples

Mjölnir (pronounced roughly ‘miol-neer’) is the name given to the hammer of Thor, a major Norse god associated with thunder. The hammer is described in Norse mythology as one of the most powerful weapons, capable of levelling mountains

NASA Tests Flying Saucer Craft For Future Manned Mission To Mars

(Before It's News)

NASA tests flying saucer craft for future manned mission to Mars
  

(CNN) — If you think you saw a flying saucer Saturday over Hawaii, you might not be crazy — except what you saw didn’t come from outer space, though that may be its ultimate destination.

After several weather-related delays this month, NASA’s new spacecraft lifted off from the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Missile Range facility in Kauai, Hawaii, on Saturday morning.

The space agency said its Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator, or LDSD, went up at 8:45 a.m. (2:45 p.m. ET), carried aloft by a giant balloon on a mission to test landing technologies for a future human mission to Mars.

Shortly after 11 a.m., the test vehicle dropped from the balloon and the “powered flight,” as NASA described it, began. At this point, the disc-like LDSD was about 120,000 feet, or more than 20 miles, above Earth.

NASA said their current information indicates the spacecraft’s rocket fired just as they hoped, with the expectation that it would rise up to about 180,000 feet, reaching the stratosphere.

Eventually, a donut-shaped tube inflated — which makes the whole thing look like a flying saucer — thus beginning the deceleration process. The next thing that was supposed to slow the vehicle’s descent was a giant parachute, though NASA acknowledged it “did not deploy as expected.”

The whole process ended with the vehicle’s splashdown in the Pacific about 11:35 a.m., or 30 minutes after it was released from the balloon.

“From what we know, the test was successful,” said Shannon Ridinger, a NASA spokeswoman.

Ridinger noted that noted NASA officials are still going through the data to assess everything what happened, noting that the only flaw known right now was that the parachute the space agency was testing had “an issue.”

Project managers are expected to give a more thorough rundown of how things went on Sunday morning.

Current technology for decelerating from high speeds during re-entry into the atmosphere to the final stages of landing on Mars dates back to NASA’s Viking Program, which put two landers on the Martian surface in 1976.

The basic Viking parachute design has been used ever since. It was successfully used again in 2012 to deliver the rover Curiosity to Mars.

Curiosity, by the way, just celebrated the anniversary of its first Martian year on the Red Planet.

NASA will need new and improved landing technologies to handle the larger spaceships of tomorrow and land them on rocky surfaces.

Karen Hudes – World Bank “Whistleblower” Who Believes World Bank Controlled By Second Species (Video)

(Before It's News)

Reporters love nothing more than a source with important inside information about the secret operations of a powerful institution. For the public, the word “whistleblower” evokes the individual citizen putting themselves at risk to stop wrongdoing by an employer. It’s a powerful idea – one justifiably lauded both in fiction and fact, and protected and encouraged by a set of federal laws set up precisely to encourage such heroic behavior. But not all whistleblowers are created equal. In fact, there is a business model based entirely on former employees couching in the terminology of whistleblowing falsehoods motivated either by self-interest or paranoid delusion.

Meet Karen Hudes, whose bio says she worked as an attorney at the World Bank from 1986-2007, during which time, she says, she revealed conspiracies such as one she says involved a crony of then president of the Philippines illegally taking control of a bank in that country. Hudes says that these revelations eventually led to her firing. She now makes her career as an anti-bank activist billing herself as the “World Bank Whistleblower”. Using that as her brand, Hudes has been able to build a small but devoted following among consumers of the so-called alternative media. (Her name occasionally makes its way into more mainstream forums, such as in a recent speech by actor Edward James Olmos.)

For a news organization that is looking for ammunition in the war against banks but is not particularly concerned about accuracy, Karen Hudes presents the intriguing possibility of unfettered access to information about the unimaginable evils banks do behind closed doors. But this lack of concern about accuracy comes with a very obvious risk. What if the purported whistleblower making charges against their former employers also makes other statements which reveal that the “whistleblower” (to put it politely) is very obviously unreliable?

Hudes says that she was fired by the World Bank after her 21 years of work there because she spoke out about issues related to “massive, massive, massive corruption” which the World Bank wants kept quiet. Just how massive is this corruption? Hudes says that the US gold reserves have been stolen by the Jesuits under the direction of a person she calls “the Black Pope” and that the US gold now resides in the Vatican. Oh, and she says that the “Black Pope” is not a human, but is of what she calls “a second species”. As she recently explained on a podcast:

 

“There’s a second species on this planet. They’re not extraterrestrials. They’re very much with us. They made maps in the previous ice age. The remnants of their civilizations are all over the place – a lot of times along the coast. It’s submerged because the sea level has gone up by 400 meters. This group has large brains. They’re very distinct from homo sapiens. Their DNA is so different, that if the two species mated, their offspring would be infertile, and we know this because their DNA was just tested. They have skulls all over the place because they have been on earth with us. But after the ice age, there weren’t that many of them, so they’ve been hiding, and one of the places that’s they’ve been hiding is in the Vatican. That’s why the Vatican are wearing those miters. It turns out that that’s what the high priest wore in the early beginnings of Judaism. Moses was actually Akhenaten, who was a pharaoh. They know this because the papyra that was taken from one of the pyramids talks about this. The people who are doing archeology in Israel know this. And the reason is, not only is homo capensis (?) trying to keep human beings under control by divide and conquer using our money system, they’ve also been doing this with our religions – organized religions – trying to get human beings to hate people of different religious faiths so that they will kill each other off, so that the people who are manipulating human beings could … use us like cattle. That’s what’s been going on through our history.”

 Hudes goes on in the interview to explain that she learned of the existence of this world-controlling, large-brained, non-human species from “a retired neurologist named Edward Spencer,” and that his views were confirmed to her by an unnamed email correspondent in Portugal who, she says, attended a meeting of large-headed hominids with inhuman blue eyes. Hudes also claims to be part of a network of whistleblowers from various financial institutions who have taken their concerns to the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions. Hudes and Spencer have also sent emails about this conspiracy to a long list of US military and government officials. (Another Hudes podcast interview on this subject is available here. More details about Hudes’ and Spencers’ beliefs are available here.)

Hudes has appeared several times on RT, where she’s billed as “the World Bank Whisteblower”, discussing everything from Obamacare to the government shutdown to the NSA. In those appearances, she fails to mention the “Black Pope” or large-brained hominids. Instead, she gives RT audiences what they expect: conspiracy theories involving bankers controlling the US and dire predictions of the economic collapse of the West.

In June 2013, Hudes was interviewed by Abby Martin in a segment of her RT program Breaking the Set. Although Martin’s introduction promised shocking revelations of World Bank corruption involving money laundering, no such revelations were forthcoming, only a series of unsupported charges.

In the interview, Hudes first claims that she knew of a scheme involving the theft of $180 billion dollars from the World Bank, that she reported this to her superiors there, and that she was fired for pursuing the matter in spite of intervention by several US senators on her behalf. Oddly, Hudes fails to take advantage of the opportunity to reveal details of this theft, which would surely be one of the biggest news stories of all time. Instead, Hudes starts down another path, claiming that 188 ministers of finance and the US Congress were involved in covering up the theft of $900 million dollars of funds designated for fighting poverty in the Philippines. She says that she’s part of an international network of World Bank whistleblowers who are trying to reveal a massive conspiracy of international bankers and prevent what she describes as “a currency war” ending in the collapse of the world financial system.

Martin then asks Hudes why “the corporate media” has failed to report on these “facts,” to which Hudes replies that it’s because the media is owned by a single conglomerate with an interest in maintaining the cover-up.

“They’re part of this scheme to rip off everyone, every single citizen on this planet. That’s what I’m talking about.” Hudes goes on to claim that her allegations have been confirmed by a study conducted by the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, although the findings she recounts don’t relate in any way to her charges. Instead, as she describes it, the study found that a small group of elite business leaders control 40% of the world’s assets. Based on this fact, Hudes says (in what charitably could be described as a non sequitur) paper money now has no value, and that “pretty soon, in a matter of weeks probably, the whole system is going to come to a screeching halt with something called ‘gold backwardization’.”

Rapidly changing the subject, Martin asks Hudes about banks controlling the US political system. Hudes says this is proved by the fact that former World Bank president Robert Zoellick worked for the 2012 Mitt Romney campaign and that, she says, the media failed to report this. She also says cryptically that she asked CBS to report on international corruption “and they said the public didn’t need to know.” The host wraps up the interview by asking Hudes why her “revelations” haven’t “incurred the wrath of the government” as have those of Edward Snowden. Hudes answers that she doesn’t know, but thinks that the government may be “using Eric Snowden (sic) to stir up the public.”

Subsequent to that bizarre interview, which lasted only 8 minutes, RT had Hudes back in October for a 24 minute in-depth interview on Sophie Shevardnadze’s program, giving Hudes an opportunity to flesh out her theories. (Video and transcript available here.) Unfortunately for everyone involved, this interview is notable for largely being so incoherent as to be virtually impossible to summarize.

SS: So, the government shutdown. Is the move on the part of the Republicans justified? Is fighting off Obamacare worth all this mess?

KH: I think there is something more going on behind the scenes. A lot more, actually.

SS: What do you mean?

KH: Well, there is terrible currency problem. We’re on the verge of the currency war. The Federal Reserve is printing dollars like there is no tomorrow, and if they keep going, the rest of the world is not going to accept them. As it is, the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – have decided that they are going to finance the trade among these countries with assets and pay for the difference in gold. And this is the right move for them…

SS: But how is that connected with a shutdown though?

KH: The US Congress has been fighting with the presidency, because the presidency (sic) have been in total contempt, and the highest legal officer of the United States government has also been in contempt of Congress in fighting this international corruption that is ruining the dollar as an international reserve currency.

And on it goes… Hudes explains her theory of “gold backwardization.” It turns out that it refers to a two-step conspiracy theory falsely charging that 1) gold reserves no longer exist (or, in Hudes’ case, that the gold has been stolen by the “Black Pope” hominid and hidden in the Vatican), and 2) that banks are short-selling this purportedly non-existent gold to deflate the gold market. The assumptions behind this conspiracy theory are false, of course, but it doesn’t really matter. Central banks exist to manage the money supply in order to stabilize currencies and encourage steady economic growth. Conspiracy theorists and promoters of schemes involving speculation in precious metals have a different view of these things though. From their point of view, those actions are intrinsically part of a plan to drive down the price of gold, since, when currencies are stable and the stock market sound, gold speculation is less attractive. This is how gold standard true believers like Hudes and other RT economics experts come to believe that the normal pursuit of a good economy is part of an anti-gold conspiracy.

Hudes goes on:

• “The mainstream media is completely owned and controlled by the same companies, private companies that own the Federal Reserve System… Congress people are all bribed by these corrupt forces and the American citizens have zero confidence in their Congress… I’m not siding with Democrats or Republicans, because both of those parties have been co-opted by these terrible corrupt forces I’m talking about.”

Considering that the views she expresses elsewhere are so idiosyncratic, Hudes’ RT persona is mostly indistinguishable from what they usually broadcast. I’ll leave it to readers to reach their own conclusions about what that means. I say “mostly” because, inevitably, the mask sometimes slips. In response to an oddly-framed question on Obamacare and fears of the collapse of the US economy, Hudes shares this:

SS: You know, I’ve also heard Obama supporters argue that the American Capitalism is on the verge of death in its present form, the way it is existing now, and the social injections, meaning the medical care and Obamacare, are needed as the only way to reform it or save it. Do you agree or disagree with that?

KH: The problem is not with the American citizens, they are a wonderful group, their values are good. It’s just that they are not given the tools that they need to have a just society. They are not given the basic information about what is really going on and who is benefiting from the economies that they are being told… they are being told that they have no money, they have taken an entire city, Detroit, and declared it bankrupt. When what’s actually happening is their tax dollars are not even staying in the society, their tax dollars are going by treaty to the United Kingdom, and then they are being transferred to the Vatican, to the bank of the Vatican. This is not a society that is going to be sustainable on any basis, for any reason.

Later, in response to a question about China, Hudes explains to her interviewer that China is controlled by the Jesuits. No large-brained hominids or Black Pope mentioned there, but some intriguing intimations of insanity on which the RT host somehow fails to follow up. Just another day at RT. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Bid to talk to aliens could doom us all: How the quest to find ET could be 'insanely risky'
By Christopher Hart

A recent newspaper story about the discovery of a huge Earth-like planet 560 light-years away was headlined: ‘New planet brings hope of life in space.’

A few years ago, that sort of claim would just have been laughed off. But this has changed in recent times: indeed, only a few days ago, a leading astronomer made a quite staggering claim.

We liked him but he went home: What if real aliens are not as cuddly as ET?

‘It is not hyperbolic to suggest that scientists could very well discover extra-terrestrial intelligence within two  decades’ time or less.’ 

And this was no deluded alien bug-hunter.

This was Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in California, addressing the U.S. Congress. 

SETI stands for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. It was co-founded by astronomer and author Carl Sagan, and two Nobel prize-winners have worked there.

Dr Shostak was able to make such a prediction thanks to the immense power of the dazzling new weapons in SETI’s armoury, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Kepler Space Observatory. 

Nasa’s Kepler telescope has discovered 962 exoplanets (planets outside our solar system, which don’t necessarily resemble Earth) in 72 star systems.

They include Kepler-10c, 17 times the weight of Earth, which made those headlines this month.

The Kepler telescope has a further 2,900 possible detections, as yet unconfirmed. And it’s only been operating since 2009.

This implies there is an astounding number of Earth-type planets (with properties  scientists deem necessary for life, such as proximity to an energy source) out there. 

Kepler’s discoveries mean there may be 40 billion other ‘Earths’ in our galaxy alone. Given such numbers, the probability of alien life has increased enormously.

Much extra-terrestrial life might not seem that exciting. For vast aeons of Earth prehistory, ‘life’ meant bacteria, amoeba and algae. So it would  probably be with most of those exoplanets.

What if they mean us ill like Mysteron agent Captain Black? Captain Scarlet's nemesis was taken over after Spectrum attacked the Mysteron settlement on Mars by mistake

But just supposing one or two of them had given rise to more complex life forms, capable of intelligence, of innovation. With 40 billion planets out there, the odds are that this will have happened.

Hence the chosen name of SETI. They are not searching just for alien life, but for alien intelligence — life forms that could communicate with us.

SETI not only looks for planets that could be Earthlike and habitable, it listens out for things like radio waves, produced only by advanced technological civilisations. Like ours. 

Aye, there’s the rub. It’s one thing to listen out for signals from the cosmos that might tell us They’re Out There.

But we are also sending out radio signals of our own, and have been for the past 100 years. One of the first public radio broadcasts was from the Metropolitan Opera House in 1910: Cavalleria Rusticana.

Such broadcasts weren’t necessarily received only by the handful who owned a wireless set. They also started to travel outwards from the Earth, like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond — but moving at the speed of light.
They are now more than 100 light years away — one light year is approximately 5,878,499,810,000 miles — and SETI reckons the nearest inhabited planet is just 12 light years away.

And they will go on travelling through the vast reaches of space for ever.

The BBC’s first broadcast was in 1922, and we have been inadvertently shouting out at the cosmos since, advertising our presence.

Radio and television broadcasts, mobile phone calls, radar systems, their chatter and babble streaming away at the speed of light, and all saying one simple thing to any listeners with the technology to hear: HELLO!

Deep Space: It looks pretty but who knows what horrors lay in wait for us in the cosmos

With blithe and sunny optimism, many scientists from projects like SETI seem to believe any ETs out there who pick up our signals and come to visit will be something like the cuddly chap in the Steven Spielberg film.

The optimists have even begun another programme called Active SETI, or METI — Messaging to Extra-terrestrial Intelligences.

This means not just listening, but deliberately shouting out at top volume, explaining who we are and where in the galaxy we live.

Not all scientists are sanguine about this, however. One has even called it ‘insanely risky, given the dearth of information we have about the nature of Extra-terrestrial Intelligence’.

John Billingham, a senior figure at SETI and Nasa, even called for a global moratorium on such programmes because of the potential risk to humanity’s future.

Is this paranoia? Hardly, if you remember the lessons of our history.

For when an advanced people meet a less technologically sophisticated people, the results for the latter are generally catastrophic.

Look at the American Indians, or even worse, the Tasmanian aborigines, who were obliterated after the arrival of European settlers in the early 1800s.

The worst-case scenario of an alien attack on Earth is a staple of science fiction from H.G. Wells’s War Of The Worlds to Tom Cruise’s latest blockbuster, Edge Of Tomorrow.

We have no idea how super-intelligent aliens might regard us, but what if they see us as we do cows: a useful source of protein?

Or as mosquitoes: pests infesting a lovely and habitable planet, and best got rid of?

Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, predicted in 1974 that in 30 years' time we would sit at home on personal computers, doing our shopping

These might sound fanciful, but science fiction writers spend their lives engaged in imagining the future, and often turn out to be startlingly prescient.

The word ‘cyberspace’ was coined by sci-fi writers.

And Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, predicted in 1974 that in 30 years’ time we would sit at home on personal computers, doing our shopping and buying our theatre tickets.

Even more frightening than the thought of space invaders is the risk of importing a devastating computer virus in an incoming signal from some advanced civilisation.

A leading Serbian astro-physicist, Professor Milan Cirkovic, has described how such viruses could ‘download’ themselves to Earth, and then damage our computer networks.

It is, he said: ‘A very frightening thought.’ So perhaps we should be keeping very, very quiet — instead of reaching out to seek for alien civilisations.

And if super-intelligent aliens don’t get us, another extra-terrestrial will — a giant asteroid smashing into the Earth.

‘The chances of this happening,’ says Bill McGuire, professor of geophysical and climate hazards at University College, London, ‘are 100 per cent.’

s just a question of when.

UFO theory covers sightings from the 1850s to 1920s

ADVERTISEMENT

Strange objects in the sky have baffled humanity since the dawn of time. In the past, unusual lights in the sky were regarded as chariots of fire, angels, will o’ the wisps, demonic processions, dragons, witches riding to their Sabbath rituals, dancing fairies, spirits and many other types of threatening supernatural or religious visitations. 

From the 1850s to the 1920s strange lights or things in the sky were regarded as ‘phantom airships’, then there were ‘mystery aircraft’ followed by ‘foo fighters’ in the Second World War, then ‘ghost rockets’ before we got to ‘flying saucers’ in 1947. 

Sightings were of things of a fantastic, supernatural or religious nature, and then with the phantom airship sightings, they were seen as secular, man-made, mechanical constructions.

These frames of reference are conditioned by many different social, political and cultural factors. For example, the phantom airships seen in the USA in 1896-7, and worldwide during the early years of the twentieth century can be compared with the airships described in the fiction of the period. The fiction and sightings also reflected the growing interest in all things aeronautical. The world became increasingly airminded, a concept which historian Scott Palmer describes as a:

• ‘...particular set of cultural traditions, symbols, and markers that, combined with existing political culture and social institutions, constitute a given nation's response to the airplane.’

The phantom airships and balloons, and mystery fliers represented a part of this airminded obsession, but not far away were new frontiers to conquer. The Space Age would soon dawn and in anticipation pulp science fiction novels, magazines and film serials gripped our imaginations.

These new horizons also represented new real and imagined threats to humanity. The worst case scenario was played out in the War of the Worlds radio broadcast, masterminded by Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre of the Air. The programme mixed fiction with alleged on-the-spot factual reports of an alien invasion. The accepted view is that it caused a mass panic when it was broadcast on Halloween’s Eve, 30 October 1938. 

More sober analysis indicates that it mainly caused its 1.2 million listeners mild fear and/or excitement. Nonetheless the overall reaction to the broadcast was a media sensation that led the shocked and surprised Orson Welles to apologise before news reel cameras the following day. 

Strange things in the sky now morphed into foo fighters and ghost rockets as we passed through the horrors of the Second World War and entered the Space Age. The big breakthrough came with Kenneth Arnold’s sighting of ‘flying saucers’ in June 1947. No one knew if they were the product of Cold War psychosis, secret US or USSR aircraft or invaders from outer space. As the mystery deepened the United States Air Force dubbed them Unidentified Flying Objects, which became the perfect umbrella term for anything unusual seen in the sky.

Hollywood movies of the 1950s quickly cashed-in on the craze for flying saucers, and in process created some of the most stupid, inspiring, spectacular and thoughtful films of all time. It became a ufominded age that partied with the dominant Space Age ethos.

UFOs and flying saucers simply became shorthand for alien visitors, yet even ufologists accept that the majority are misidentifications of anything from kites, clouds and satellites to the Moon and Venus. The contactees of the 1950s and the abductees of the 1960s onwards made physical and mental contact with the occupants of these craft. Their testimony certainly ruled out misidentifications of Venus, but the sceptics filled this void with speculation about False Memory Syndromes and Sleep Paralysis.

The disclosure movement tries to get confirmation that our governments know all about these alien visitations, and the Roswell and Rendlesham incidents taunt us with the possibility that they are real craft. The elusive nature of this evidence has led some ufologists to explore the possibility that UFOs come from other dimensions or are time travellers, others regard them as enigmatic intelligences that are intimately linked with humanity and are engaged in manipulating our thoughts and evolution.

Hardline sceptics try to explain all UFO sightings as caused by ‘mundane’ non-exotic phenomena, and then there are the psychosociologists who aren’t particularly bothered if UFOs are physically real or not, it is enough that our ufo minded culture causes real psychological and sociological responses.

Like UFOs themselves, the theories surrounding them reflect our perception of the world and our place in it.
