Salla&#8217;s Exopolitics web page, you remember that one! A bunch of people struggling with the idea that one might have to find some aliens before we try to negotiate with them. Simply saying over and over again &#8220;we know you are out there you mighty space crushing empire and we know you fear our atomic bombs, can we talk?&#8221; simply does nothing for anyone, not the aliens, not Joe-public, certainly not the Odd Emperor (although I do get a chuckle out of it.)<\/p>\n<p>Michael E. Salla begins;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A whistleblower has recently emerged alleging secret preparations are underway for a false flag operation to justify a military response to &#8220;alien invaders&#8221; by August 2007. The whistleblower claimes that s\/he was asked &#8220;to write up &#8216;spin&#8217; and propaganda that would help win the country&#8217;s leaders over to our new &#8216;war effort'&#8221; against extaterrestrials. The whistleblower posted his\/her message at the Above Top Secret forum and has generated immediate interest by many (see: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abovetopsecret.com\/forum\/thread288370\/pg1\">http:\/\/www.abovetopsecret.com\/forum\/thread288370\/pg1<\/a> ). While the whistleblower&#8217;s statement appears plausible at first hand, there really is little need to demonise extraterrestrials to justify a false flag operation if an upped military response is desired by those in control of extraterrestrial related information.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What&#8217;s funny about this is Michael E. Salla and several other luminaries in the UFO biz either don&#8217;t know or do not care that the so-called whistleblower has come forward and admitted that the whole thing was a hoax.<\/p>\n<p>The thread on the Above Top Secret board begins with this..(<strong>&#8220;GhostRaven; a member of AboveTopSecret.com says)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Anyways, what ATS needs to know is that, around early August, a &#8216;false flag&#8217; operation will occur that will make the ETs\/Visitors look like they are attacking america. Do not believe it. We cannot allow ourselves to be drawn into a war with an enemy like that.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry that I cannot verify my position as I have a family and assets that would surely be taken from me if my identity were revealed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sheezer! What a dead giveaway! We all know that a real government employee would capitalize America.<\/p>\n<p>This was posted by (apparently) the moderators of the Above Top Secret forum.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The following &#8220;story&#8221; is the produce of an unethical, patently flawed attempt at a study that exudes the lowest form of deceit. Before you read the HOAX\/&#8221;story&#8221; you will see the admission of the individual who attempted (and FAILED miserably) to fool this community after his ploy was falling to pieces. \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nWhat you are about to read is the tawdry work of one who sought to abuse our courteous community and was ultimately handed his hat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, I agree with the mods of ATS Sort of. I\u00e2&#8217;m not sure I would ban the person unless he was getting seriously flamed, (I would really think about banning the flamers.)<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately things are not so simple in UFO \u201cla-la land. For one thing, I don&#8217;t think the hoax failed miserably&#8217;\u201c even after the original poster admitted that he made the thing out of whole cloth, people are insisting that it *might* really be true!<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact the wording of the original post is so typical of about a hundred other such stories, not to mention this one has been used as a plot for several Science Fiction novels and at least one TV anthology series (Twilight Zone I think.) It was even used by the Germans in the early days of World War II, substitute aliens with Poland or aliens with Saddam Hussein oops! Wrong world war!<\/p>\n<p>The point here is, one would think that people on the ATS board and elsewhere would be more discerning of their so-called evidence. This fellow did not produce a smidgen of verifiable information; he words the thing in such a way to make his statements laughable, I.E <em>I can&#8217;t reveal my identity because my\/job\/family\/cat\/etc will suffer<\/em>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Then, after getting threatened with arrest, harassed and so fourth<em> by the UFO buffs<\/em> (big surprise; UFO buffs HATE to have their clown-car tipped over) he admits that the thing was a joke (or more lamely, a &#8220;<em>social experiment<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Good try Joe! It was a hoax, you are a troll and you laughed your ass off! Admit it!<\/p>\n<p>After all this, some of the more gullible types are STILL chirping about how this could be true, how CNN just MIGHT announce that aliens are about to attack the national Christmas tree and we must all vote republican in the next election, for our own safety you understand! Now, I don&#8217;t give the hoaxer points for pulling the wool over people&#8217;s eyes, that&#8217;s child&#8217;s play in the UFO biz. You tell people what they want to hear, validate their forgone conclusions and you are in-like-Flint. Heck I almost never validate people (and get roundly disliked for it) I still get people posting over here saying HEY YOU ARE NOT A REAL EMPEROR! YOUR JOE SHMOE FROM SHMOOO STREET, YOU CAN&#8221;T FOOL ME!&#8221; Well Duh Alfred! It kind of says so on,.hmmmm EVERY FREAKING PAGE of the this blog and the <a href=\"http:\/\/oddempire.org\">Odd Empire webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>! Think what would happen if I made a consorted attempt at pulling the wool over people&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Which kind of illustrates my second point. It doesn&#8217;t matter what one says, it doesn&#8217;t matter who you are (or who you are not.) It only matters what you say and how you say it. If you happen to be a fantasy prone, belief based person, it only matters that you hear what you want to hear. If you are a passionate advocate of the strange explanations of more or less mundane occurrences, you will probably be taken again and again by people like this guy on the ATS board.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because he&#8217;s saying exactly what you want to hear. He&#8217;s validating things you passionate advocates of the ETH have already decided on. That the government(s)&#8217; have been keeping their dealings with aliens a deep-dark secret and that NOW they have a nefarious plan to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! ..<\/p>\n<p>I suppose governments kinda-sorta have already\u00a0 taken over the world, (other than in places like <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mogadishu\">Mogadishu <\/a>and maybe Antarctica.) It makes me wonder what they need the aliens for in the first place. Perhaps it&#8217;s to trick people into voting Republican.<\/p>\n<p>Yep! That&#8217;s got to be it!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway; <a href=\"http:\/\/exopolitics.org\/Exo-Comment-50.htm\">here is the piece on Exopolitics that started this whole rant. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abovetopsecret.com\/forum\/thread288370\/pg1\">Here is the thread header on Above Top Secret.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is a photo of Oolong the pancake wearing rabbit for no apparent reason.
