It's the Stargates, Stupid!

GeekLethal GeekLethal

I will always have a soft spot in my otherwise stony Yankee heart for utter cranks. The moonbats among us enrich all our lives in uncounted and under-appreciated ways. Nothing beats watching them at work, of course, but reading their publications is almost as good. Hell, sometimes it's even better, because you get the footnotes.

Michael Salla, a professor at American University's School of International Service, helps train diplomats and further the academic study of peace and conflict resolution.

He also has a side job developing his study of "exopolitics", or relations between Earth's shadow government and aliens, and has a website for it. 'Cuz, you see, "...many, if not all, international conflicts were related to the extraterrestrial presence."

One of his recent papers describes that the war in Iraq has nothing to do with oil, religion, 9-11, Osama, or anything else so obviously obvious. Instead, Dr. Salla writes that the war is actually about securing Stargates, ancient technologies that allow malevolent aliens to sidestep the existing planet-wide quarantine against malevolent aliens. See, that's why you don't see so many aliens running around, it's because of the quarantine.

Dr. Salla also warns that should Arabs be pissed off at us long enough, it will result in one of two scenarios: attract a certain alien species to pass through the Stargates to wreak vengeance upon the American armed forces in the region; or reach a critical mass, related to numbers and level of fervor, for their wishes of death and destruction upon us to physically appear by force of will. I think.

I'm digging this guy, and think it's great that nutters can find real work at our places of higher learning.

"I'm digging this guy, and think it's great that nutters can find real work at our places of higher learning"

Is this really surprising to you? Weren't we in the same masters program at the same time?

I'm always reminded of one panel of one page from Matt Groening's "School is Hell." In his discussion of the "9 Types of College Professors" he lists the Single-issue Crank, with the illustrative quote "The nation that controls magnesium controls the world!"

We've all had professors like that. Indeed, a lot of people stake entire careers on their very own My First Big Idea, regardless of whether that Idea is a good one or not.

I dunno. Iranian flying saucers? Iraqi perhaps. North Korean, certainly. But Iranian? What's he got in his hookah? I expect better from a tenured professor. Ain't no damn carpet looks like a saucer.

On a serious note, "Isaiah Effect" would be an excellent name for a band. And for this I am happy he has found a secure and highly-paid position in American academia. I, too, shall seek such a sinecure directly.

J,
*sigh* Yes, we were there at the same time. And no, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I think what struck me about this fellow was that...ok, here's a guy who trains diplomats. Like for the State Department. And he studies conflict resolution and thoery, a legitimate bit of PoliSci-ery.

But see, he doesn't have a little pet project on the side like, oh, recording a rap record, or making giant puppet heads for the next hate America rally.

Instead, he says yeah, all my research has led me to believe that malevolent aliens from pre-history are responsible for modern wars. They're forbidden to actually be here because of the quarantine set up by the Shadow Government group of 30, but see..it's the stargates. The stargates are what can get them here, and they're in Iraq and Afghanistan. And THAT's what this war is about, it's the stargates!

It's like Dennis Hopper in "Apocalypse Now": "One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics."

How do serious students sit in this guy's class and not snicker?

BTDG,
Oh, I'd bet on it, and I'll bet they kept their kookiness to themselves until they got it.

Can you imagine going to an academic conference/meat market/hiring fair, sitting across from a recruiter for a respected institution, and talking about your work in alien interference on world affairs? You know, because of the stargates?

I applaud the nuts on these people, and believe me when I say I do enjoy this sort of kookery. But without academia, these people would be begging for change and living out of shopping carts.

OK, just read the post you linked to. Niiice. You may be interested in this number from awhile back:
