Culture The Elites, the Occult, and the Little Green Men

In 2017, the New York Times dropped a glowing writeup of Harry Reid's now-defunct $22 million UFO research program:

For years, the program investigated reports of unidentified flying objects, according to Defense Department officials, interviews with program participants and records obtained by The New York Times. It was run by a military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring, deep within the building’s maze.

The shadowy program — parts of it remain classified — began in 2007, and initially it was largely funded at the request of Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who was the Senate majority leader at the time and who has long had an interest in space phenomena. Most of the money went to an aerospace research company run by a billionaire entrepreneur and longtime friend of Mr. Reid’s, Robert Bigelow, who is currently working with NASA to produce expandable craft for humans to use in space.

On CBS’s “60 Minutes” in May, Mr. Bigelow said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens exist and that U.F.O.s have visited Earth.

Truly bizarre stuff. Harry Reid diverted enough money to fully fund President Trump's border wall to his kooky friends trying to "speak with extraterrestrials." Why would someone like Reid risk tarnishing his reputation by diverting money to something as absurd as UFO research? Why would the New York Times, the preferred paper everywhere of Skeptical (TM) liberals who MOTHERFUCKING LOVE SCIENCE, deliver such a friendly writeup to the government pissing away 22 million dollars on tin-foil hat conspiracies?

Reid's interest in this stuff isn't isolated. When John Podesta isn't preoccupied with [REDACTED], he never misses a chance to passionately call for the full disclosure of all US Government files related to UFOs:



Even Hillary has jumped in on the fun!

But it is her unusual knowledge about extraterrestrials that has struck a small but committed cohort of voters.

Mrs. Clinton has vowed that barring any threats to national security, she would open up government files on the subject, a shift from President Obama, who typically dismisses the topic as a joke. Her position has elated U.F.O. enthusiasts, who have declared Mrs. Clinton the first “E.T. candidate.”

An even more bizarre moment of realization comes when you take a step back and remember that all this is getting published in the New York Times. This is indeed, a fawning article about UFO-ology in the federal government. It also flat-out said that there a ton of intelligent, reasonable people in the Pentagon and the Capitol who believe we're being visited by aliens. Which is a fucking bombshell, if true. Seriously, you're telling me that there are general officers in the Pentagon who believe in ayylmaos traveling hundreds of light years to core out cow anuses and molest random people? Senators I can believe—Congress is full of idiots—but senior military men?

Also, the account of the two Navy pilots who encountered something in 2004, is spooky and strange. They seem like level-headed fighter jocks, but the one is very specific in his description of what he saw and what happened.

Bizarre pet theories about extraterrestrials, UFO's, and interdimensional beings aren't exclusive to the Washington political elite:

“Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer; two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation.”

The two billionaires (Elon Musk is a prime suspect) are convinced that they’ll emerge out of this drab illusion into a more shining reality, lit by a brighter and more beautiful star.

The article goes on, and points out the similarities between 'simulation theory' and the Gnosticism that's been a core part of every occult tradition spanning from the Greek Mystery cults, to the Freemasons, to Alistair Crowley:

Kabbalist mysticists, Descartes with his deceiving demon, and Zhuangzi in his butterfly dream have all questioned the reality of their sense-experiences, but this isn’t a private, solipsistic hallucination; in the simulation hypothesis, reality is a prison for all of us. Its real antecedents are the Gnostics, an early Christian sect who believed that the physical universe was the creation of the demiurge, Samael or Ialdaboath, sometimes figured as a snake with the head of a lion, a blind and stupid god who creates his false world in imperfect imitation of the real Creator. This world is a distorted mirror, an image; in other words, a kind of software.

And speaking of the occult, did you know that it plays a key role in the modern history of UFOology?

The first picture is a drawing made by occultist Alistair Crowley of an entity he had invoked repeatedly in 1918 and called "Lam." The second picture is a standard "grey alien" allegedly seen by an abductee.

28 years after Crowley's invocation of "Lam," L Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons (rocket scientist, founder of the government's top secret Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and devoted adherent of Crowley's Thelema occult religion) were hard at work in the California desert invoking an archetypal entity known as "Moonchild". Within months, sightings of "flying discs" and "little green men" began popping up all over west coast of the United States.

So, what is the takeaway here? There isn't one, really. The way I see it, there are 4 possibilities:

1) It was all a bullshit boondoggle, a way for Harry Reid to spread around some patronage money while keeping some crony employed on a make-work project where he wouldn't get in the way of anything important.

2) Everyone involved is deadly serious. There really have been lots of encounters with strange phenomena, to the point that it is scaring some people in the USG shitless. (Whether said phenomena are spacemen or unexplained natural phenomena is somewhat immaterial.)

3) This is part of the wackadoo cult behavior of broken, shitty, powerful pedophiles, one that traces its ideological lineage back to Theosophy, Thelema, and various occult mystery religions all the way back to the ancient Gnostics.

4) This is a calculated leak designed to prep us for something big coming down the pike, real (which I doubt) or fake. I'm not a fan of the various One World Government conspiracy theories, since our elites are demonstrably too stupid to carry out any wide-ranging conspiracy. However, it is kind of a fun thought experiment. Could a fake announcement of alien contact be used to bust down national borders, instituting the final stage of GloboCorp rule?

I'd like to take a step back and say that I don't believe in UFO visitations or the purported powers of the occult. However, anyone who's ever researched CIA psyops, elite pedophile rings, or the spiritual views of our ruling elites quickly starts noticing some disturbing coincidences. I will flesh out some of these connections and how they may or may not relate to UFOs in a later post. For now, I'm going to grab a coffee and hopefully watch this thread deteriorate into a total shitshow.

As for my opinion, I'm afraid it's pretty prosaic. Like I said, I'm not an occultist or UFOlogist, just interested in all things weird and offbeat. I don't think we've been visited by ETs, and while I think the Rare Earth hypothesis has a lot of merit I'm not beholden to its assumptions and don't write off the possibility that there is other intelligent life "out there somewhere."

But this isn't about me.

The elites are interested in UFOs for the usual reason that otherwise smart secular people end up falling for the idea that your horoscope can predict your fate or that you can be healed of cancer by sleeping under a green crystal or that you can live off of sunlight and no food if you do enough raja yoga: these insane superstitions are eruptions of their repressed religious instincts past the skeptical barriers of their conscious mind and it's nominal worldview. Carl Jung, were he still alive, would have instantly recognized these things as the spontaneous compensations of the unconscious mind for an imbalanced conscious mind. Since the elites can't bring themselves to renounce that view and embrace traditional attitudes due to the social ostracism they are threatened with (look at the criticism Peter Thiel took for being mildly involved with a bunch of NRx nerds; imagine what would have been done to him if he had turned out to be a Latin Mass sedevacantist like Mel Gibson) they end up clinging to something that promises to deliver similar results in a more politically palatable fashion.

The best example of this the simulationist nonsense that Elon Musk is into: simulation theory is literally the most anti-materialistic metaphysics possible—a theory that says that the world and everything in it is, not matter, not even energy, but just data in something else entirely—and that "something else", whatever it might truly be, is the real real world. It should be obvious that this idea, which implies that the empirical, sense-perceptible world we inhabit, is not real in a radical and comprehensive sense, is totally contrary to the spirit of scientific endeavor as it has existed in the West since the 16th century; illusory universes are the sort of thing Hindu mystics who never cut their fingernails and who sleep on mats woven from thorns believe in. But the repression of religious instinct has caught the oh-so-prideful Johnny Secular, and now he is punished by being subjected to the delusion that there in something more valuable in groveling in front of a postmodern idol of Roko's Basilisk than in genuflecting before the altar and tabernacle of Jesus Christ.

"The more they called themselves philosophers, the stupider they became."

More on the implausibility of the ET explanation for UFO phenomena: read anything by Jacques Vallée, a French computer scientist and entrepreneur who has been investigating this for decades, and is basically the only sane UFOlogist out there.

As for Aleister Crowley, well I don’t think anyone should speak to those on the other side of the veil. Who knows who might answer the phone?

The other explanation for the UFO phenomenon is that they're literally demons, bro. I know there's an Orthodox priest who was very big on that contention. I might add another post when I research more.
