Aliens And Republicans
Posted by Michelle Moquin on October 31st, 2013
Unfortunately it’s not a story of alien abduction, nor even a horror story. Darn.
Good morning!
The good news is, there are a few Dems that will be running to replace Paul Ryan. Here’s the write from Mother Jones:
Paul Ryan’s Democratic Opponent Is Alien Conspiracy Theorist, 9/11 Truther
Amardeep Kaleka produced and directed a documentary that claims September 11 was an inside job designed to distract the public from ET revelations.
When 35-year-old Amardeep Kaleka recently declared his intention to run for the Democratic nomination to challenge Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) in 2014, most news coverage focused on one facet of his story: his father was one of the murder victims of the 2012 massacre at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. That murder convinced Kaleka to run as a Democrat and advocate for enhanced gun control.
But during a recent interview with the Madison Capital Times, Kaleka, who is not the only Democrat looking to run against Ryan, revealed another side of his biography: conspiracy documentary filmmaker. Kaleka directed the 2013 film Sirius, a documentary that purports to uncover evidence of extraterrestrial life on Earth and suggests that the September 11 terrorist attacks were a “false flag” operation. Kaleka is also listed as editor and director of photography and shares credit for the documentary’s “story idea.” The film has slightly better production values than your typical conspiracy diatribe, but it hinges on some far-out concepts.
Kaleka founded Neverending Light, the studio that produced Sirius. He couldn’t be reached for comment in time for publication, but he told the Capital Times, “I don’t think that any knowledgeable human would say that extraterrestrials don’t exist.”
Here’s a short trailer for the movie:
The film, which is posted below, is based on Hidden Truth: Forbidden Knowledge, a book by Steven Greer, an osteopath who now leads searches for evidence of extraterrestrial life on Earth. Greer mixes a bit of made-up science with a strong vein of spirituality in explaining why aliens have visited our planet. “When we started detonating thermonuclear weapons, atomic weapons, and developing these sort of destructive technologies the civilizations that have been watching this planet for millennia said, ‘Oh my god, these people are going way off the reservation. They are now an existential threat to themselves, but also to other planets potentially,’” Greer says in the film.
Sirius includes a number of confusing scenes during which Greer and his companions, including Kaleka, are filmed stargazing, claiming to spot alien aircraft. “It’s got a path,” Kaleka says in one such scene , as he looks at the sky. “It’s got like a movement. And then it’s gone.” Onscreen text describes the congressional candidate as a “UFO Witness.”
The movie also features a dose of 9/11 trutherism. “The question, on some people’s minds, is whether or not this disaster was exploited, or worse, engineered,” the narrator says midway through the movie. He asserts that 9/11 was a “false flag” operation mounted by the government a few months after a major conference of alien watchers in order to distract the public and suppress the truth, and he likens the 9/11 attacks to the Gulf of Tonkin incident during the Vietnam War. The movie goes on to suggest that the Bilderbergers and Rockefellers were behind a series of global conspiracies.
Kaleka’s documentary highlights a six-inch-long body that an amateur archeologist discovered in a ghost town in the Atacama Desert in Chile in 2003. One of the film’s experts refers to it as an EBE—that is, an extraterrestrial biological entity. Siriusshows footage of the supposed alien being dissected; its lingering cranial material autopsied for DNA. The organism appears otherworldly, yet the truth is far more mundane: according to Science magazine, an immunologist from Stanford determined that the skeleton is from our planet, and probably a mummified stillborn fetus.
Kaleka’s film is not an examination of those who believe in extraterrestrials. It’s a sympathetic vehicle to promote their views to a wider audience. Ufologist Greer anchors the film by pacing a stage and giving a lecture, as if he’s channeling Al Gore in An Inconvenient Truth. Near the end of the movie, Greer states that there have been over 4,000 cases of extraterrestrial vehicles landing on Earth.
If aliens definitely are among us, why don’t most people know about it? According to Kaleka’s film, it’s all the military-industrial complex’s fault. “The problem is not proving that UFOs exist, it’s when you begin to expose the energy and propulsion systems of how they’re getting here,” Greer says. “You’re talking about unveiling a new science that would replace oil, gas, coal, nuclear power, public utilities. This is the $600 trillion dollar problem.” If the public knew about alien visitors, Greer contends, a whole new world of technologies would become available, including “inertial shielding” and gravity manipulation. But the “petro-fascists” (as he calls them) controlling the government hide alien discoveries to maintain their oil oligarchy. “These sciences have been out there for decades; they have been ruthlessly kept secret because of the power of a centralized petro-dollar,” Greer maintains.
Kaleka’s film fits into that sweet spot where the fringes of left-wing and right-wing ideology overlap. At one point, the narrator ominously states that the US government doesn’t actually manage the Federal Reserve Bank. Instead, viewers are told, the Fed is “owned by a private banking cartel.” To back up this claim, the film cuts to a scene of Ron Paul berating Fed chairman Ben Bernanke at a congressional hearing.
Sirius hints that several extraterrestrial researchers have contracted diseases, apparently because the government is trying to stymie damning ET revelations. “I don’t take anything for granted, frankly,” Greer says, “so each time that I do a presentation or lead a group. I think, ‘This may be the last time.’”
The New York Times reviewed the film in May. “It perhaps exceeds the earthly purview of a humble film critic to evaluate claims of extraterrestrial life, but it’s definitely unwise to bury the audience in suggestive statements and footage without dwelling long enough on any one thing to persuade,” reviewer Nicolas Rapold wrote. “Though the would-be mini-alien yields some suspense, Mr. Kaleka’s film feels a bit like wandering into a hotel convention hall full of true believers who have been chatting for hours.”
Kaleka won’t necessarily face Ryan in the general election. Rob Zerban, Ryan’s 2012 opponent, announced last week that he will run again.

There has been some interest in the Wonaski species lately. They are a species that precede arrogant Humans here on Earth. They live in the high, humid forest canopy where the Orchids grow because this is their staple food. They can not live on the ground, just as we cannot live on Mount Everest — the food we need is just not there to be found.
Those that suggest that they should come down and live on the ground when their food supply (Orchids) is located hundreds of feet high in the forest canopy, are not thinking what it would be like for a superior life form to stick us in an unfamiliar environment even here on Earth.
We are not the Apex species as we were taught to believe we are . . . The arrogant center of the Universe — which God created just for the Human species.
We do not care that there was sentient life here long before we existed. For example, the Wonaski. Now their very existence as well as our own and thousands of other species are at stake . . . We are all being threatened by our “Progress and Technology.” We are overpopulated and running out of the very basics for life; clean water and air. They are the collateral damage of progress, such as Global Warming that comes as a by-product of the progress which will knock out our civilization completely one day (sooner than later). It has happened many times before. Civilizations have come and gone due to droughts, famines, floods and “Acts of God” (Volcanoes and Earthquakes) many times before. Humans have overpopulated this planet like a parasite to a point that there are too many Greenhouse Gases and this will cause the weather to be unpredictable and affect the ability to grow food worldwide. We will have a worldwide famine before we know it. Then the S___ will really hit the fan worldwide and it will not be long before Homo Sapiens are just another extinct Civilization that destroyed themselves because they destroyed their only home (the Earth) and made it uninhabitable.
With Famine comes War. The powerful nations think they will take what they need for their people to survive, but they must first fight off the other nations which feel the same way — In other words: “All Hell Will Break Loose” and this will be the beginning of the end.
We must treat ALL life forms as we would like to be treated by our peers as well as beings superior to us. That is how it must be done like on other planets which are successful.

I think Rick Perry is pacing the stage about health care while channeling Al Gore but that was yesterdays post….
Howie, I would agree that we will annihilate ourselves and yet, no one chooses to lessen the burden by opting for ZPG (zero population growth), and admittedly, as much as I was once a ZPG woman to the max, even I went and threw one in for the gene pool (was it my ego or an actual biological urge?), we could slow that overpopulating thing down, we’ve got children dying everyday from malnutrition and we kill the environment and slaughter animals mercilessly to eat, ugh…really we are a bunch of barbarians (in nice suits) so conversations about ‘humans evolving’ and where it’s going next, well, hmmm, seems as though we are going screw it up, again….lovely…maybe we can use some live alien intervention uncensored by the powers that be, so what if it scares some, at least we would be able to turn things around, or, are we just too involved with our BS to actually so anything about it.
It’s kinda sad, is there no hope, Howie? Why don’t aliens make themselves known without them being part of the government cover up’s, why would an alien agree to do that?
Just top of mind q’s…I’m sure I’ll have more later, but I have a client who wants to evolve soon, wish me luck : )

Could it be that Halloween is not only for kids?
But for goblins and witches riding high-powered switches
Across a dimly-lit moon?
And for black-colored cats curled up in the night
Near patches of pumpkins alight with something inside?
Truth is Halloween can’t be, without happy kids
With bright-colored costumes to suit their disguises.
Oh Halloween, Halloween, What joy you bring.
Tomorrow your’re gone but you’ll come back again.
