U.S. Department of Defense Shills: Prepare for Alien Invasion

April 26th, 2007

They managed to convince people that al-Qaeda is real. Why not shoot for the stars?

How many billions of dollars would Lockheed Martin get to build space weapons to defend us from “the aliens”?

Blackwater USA Space Command?

Oh sure. Why not?

Via: Daily Telegraph:

WHEN the aliens finally invade Earth, you may wish you had listened to Travis Taylor and Bob Boan.

And if the invasion follows the plot of a typical Hollywood blockbuster, they might also be the guys called in at the last minute to save the day.

After all, they have written An Introduction to Planetary Defence, a primer on how humanity can defend itself if little green men wielding death rays show up at our cosmic doorstep. And, yes, they’re serious.

“The probability is there that aliens exist and are old enough to have technology to enable them to come here,” Taylor said.

Taylor and Boan are hardly basement-dwelling paranoids obsessed with tinfoil hats and Area 51.

Taylor holds advanced degrees in astronomy and physics. He and Boan have done consulting work for the Defence Department and the US space agency NASA.

Taylor acknowledges alien invasion is hardly a mainstream concern but says it is naive to assume that any beings advanced enough to master star travel will have evolved beyond war.

“It’s a wonderful idea that has no basis in reality,” Taylor said.

Taylor and Boan plugged in what they felt were conservative estimates, such as that aliens cannot travel faster than 10 per cent of the speed of light.

After crunching the numbers, they say it is possible that our Milky Way galaxy harbours thousands of intelligent alien species and that there is a “high probability” that one or two of them visit Earth every century.

But if there are so many aliens out there, why haven’t we heard from them already?

That is the question famously posed by the physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950 to dismiss speculation by his colleagues that intelligent life should be routine.

Taylor and Boan are convinced Fermi got it wrong. Even if aliens used god-like technology to jump across thousands of light years in a single day, they would still need millions of years to explore all the star systems in the galaxy.

They simply may not have stumbled across our neck of the woods yet.

Taylor and Boan started thinking about how to respond to an aggressive extraterrestrial attack during a 2001 discussion about defending against terrorist attacks.

Failure to prepare may mean mankind will have to dig in and fight with improvised weapons and hit-and-run tactics, much the same way Islamic extremists have battled the US military in Iraq, Taylor says.

“You’d have to create an insurgency, a mujahideen-type resistance,” Taylor said.

  1. Oh no! Another hobgoblin to be menaced by! If any alien race will be perceived as evil and invasive, it will probably be us.

    I mean, if European & Asian neo-colonialist cultures have little respect for human life, and even less for Earth-base life, how would they treat alien life?

    Frankly, until we can solve our “Earth-based” problems, we have no business leaving it to “colonize” other worlds.

    These people worry about alien invasions because they have the invader mindset. Thus, because they are constantly plotting invasions, they naturally assume everyone is plotting against them, when it’s mostly in their heads.

    That being said, if we are capable of being aggressive, invasive aliens, it does stand to reason that other species could be just as bad, if not worse, than us.

    However, perhaps these guys should be directed over to Jeff Wells’ Rigorous Intuition site. Then they could scare everyone with the specter of the ultra-terrestrial invasion! The irony, of course, would be that the fear would summon the ultra-terrestrials who would then scare us into killing ourselves. Then the extra-terrestrials could calmly move in and take over the planet. Perhaps the extra-terrestrials and the ultra-terrestrials conspire together. Perhaps they argue with each other over which is the better way to conquer and rule the human species. Perhaps they are merely two managerial castes of an even higher species. The extra-terrestrials are the fatherly, hunter, Rethuglican, fascist, war-like caste who use brute force to coerce, and the ultra-terrestrials are the motherly, farmer, Democommycrat, Communist, peace-kills-like caste who use insidious ideological warfare and Delphi Technique to coerce and conquer.

    Where does the chain of tyranny end!!!!!

    : )

    Maybe I should write a book:

    An Introduction to Defense from Ultraterrestrials.

    Maybe I could even shill it with a straight face.

    lol

    Why do you have to quote crap-paper like Daily Telegraph, everyone knows that paper battles in the same league as where the Sun, Daily Mirror/Mail and other ‘Daily’-shite papers are.

    The Alien Invasion is all bollocks, having imprint of propaganda-work all over it. Then again, some of the conspiracy-freaks has told the public all about the next step in the ‘great-plan’, and that the is the alien-menace. Think hard, that IS the VIEW that the HOLLYWOOD presents – to the public – really the TRUTH? What happened to the old ‘diplomacy-first, shoot-later’ policy?

    My understanding is that Werner Vonbraun (sp?) Hitler’s Nazi rocket program chier – – taken on to head Amerika’s rocket program after WWII, w/the rest of the Op Paperclip scientists, actually predicted b/4 his death (confirmed by his scientist gfriend, disclosure project etc.) that after the Cold War ended there would be the war on “terrorism” followed by the alien invasion phoney propaganda arms race . . . seems things are right on schedule for our “elite” rulers . . .

  5. cryingfreeman says:

    My word, is there no beginning to their subtlety? A “new earth” gets discovered on Monday and by Thursday we are being conditioned for alien attack (the ultimate world unifying bogeyman).

  6. The difficult truth is that aliens are here and they have have been conducting a pacification program for many years. Their goal is to dominate humanity and control the planet through subtle means, not by brute force.

    The greatest weapon in a war is to make the other side you’re not fighting a war against them.

  7. bob m says:

    well, since the ‘war on terror’ has gone so well towards uniting the world, wouldn’t it make sense to have a ‘war of worlds’ to really cement being ‘human’. an……….intervention if you will.
    human technology appears to have plateau’d in the last 20 years or so with some sectors flatlining or reverse trending from higher end to ‘cheaper, faster, better’ which tends to mean it’s cheaper, it breaks faster, and it’s better for the person who sold it to you because now they can sell you another. anywho, to come from a time when the ‘SR 71’ was successfully built and used in the 60’s to where we seem to be now suggests a technology gap (between general society and military hardwares) that gets wider everyday.
    if we are ‘invaded’ or ‘exposed’ to ‘aliens attack’ who is actually at the controls? to expect that the height of human military technology rests in the f22 is far too short sighted in my opinion.
    happy trails.

  8. You fools! When will you learn that the real threat is ultraterrestial, not extraterrestial! I tried to warn you, but did you listen? They come from within!!!!

    Aaackk! Here’s one now, it wants me to go the White Hen and buy an oven-toasted sandwich even though it’s 3:28 a.m. Must resist, must not get up, must use will power . . . weakening . . . vision of delicious turkey sandwich too strong, mouth watering, can’t fight it any longer, stomach growling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    . . . the puny earthling known as Ozzy “The Man” Diaz has to go now to eat a turkey sandwich so that, we his “alien” overlords, who are none other than Saudi, British, Japanese, Chinese, and Austrian billionaires who bought out the White Hen long ago, can rake in the profits which we may then use to snort coke off the proverbial hooker’s tit. That is all.

    Perhaps Electromagnetic fields fit the bill…

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=450995&in_page_id=1879

    Sarah, 51, is one of a growing band of people who claim to be experiencing extreme – and incapacitating – sensitivity to electrical appliances, as well as to certain frequencies of electromagnetic waves.

    “Wi-Fi, or wireless broadband networks, seem to be the worst thing,” she says.

    “Closely followed by mobile phones – particularly if they’re being used in an enclosed space – the base stations of cordless telephones and mobile phone masts.

    “I have to restrict the amount of time I spend on the computer or watching television, and make sure I don’t have too many household appliances on at once, because that sets me off as well.”

    This may sound bizarre, but there is no doubt that Sarah’s symptoms are real.
