Magic Pop UFOS: May 2010

5/31/10

FMPU has been around for a few years. Sure we don't write as much as the other guys and sure we don't really post half as much as the 18 year old UFO nuts over there in the recesses of the internets, but whatever we lack in past performance and appearances of a sense of urgency - we more than make up for with our sexiness.

Not really but the amount of information is just too much - right now I've been digging Andre's work. Here are some links where you can find him:

I've been following him through Facebook where he posts links - an extraordinary # of links - to current events such as the BP terrorist actions happening now - without possibility for stoppage in the near future, events that are unfolding in the middle east, NASA alerts and current UFO sightings.

The Aliens Within

(Reprinted with permission from the League of Western Fortean Intermediatists)

Why do humans create the aliens we create? A look at the evolution of aliens in popular culture, from an astrological standpoint.

by Anthony Douglas Perkins

This article is an introduction to a theory that I started researching and developing in 1997. It is about the presentation of aliens in popular film and television and how they appear to correspond to the astrological phenomenon of the movement of the planet Neptune through a particular astrological sign in the Western zodiac.

The aliens are “archetypes,” the kind that have been famously presented by people like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, in that they are products of a “mass unconscious” that expresses itself through art. The difference in this case is that my perspective adds the element of time, that is, that these particular things are not only created universally, but that these creations change, and that they vary, according to certain cycles of (what humans at least perceive as) time. In this case the cycles represented are the archetypes that are represented by the astrological signs in the Western zodiac.

I hope it will appeal to anyone interested in archetypal “phenomenon” and/or astrology, as well as fans of science fiction/fantasy. I welcome input from anyone with something to add or correct, in terms of specific elements that I mention. And as I will discuss the plot lines of a number of different films and television shows, be warned that there is a certain “spoiler alert” in effect.

In the Western system of astrology the different planets are supposed to represent different behavioral aspects in individuals, populations, and the world at large. The “inner” planets--the ones that are visible to the naked eye--are thought of as specific because they move relatively quickly in the sky and, for that reason, are used for the purpose of making determinations about the individual characteristics of a person. The “outer” planets are thought to represent generalities because they move slowly, and are thought of as “generational influences.” The most pronounced of these is Neptune. Neptune is the planet that is supposed to represent (among other things) the “mass unconscious,” the way everyone (at least in Western civilization), on a certain level, is thinking and acting (whether or not they are aware of it).

Neptune changes signs approximately every 14 years. During that time, society in general is thought to be under the influence of the sign Neptune is moving through. Everything that human society (at least in the West) does during those years will generally correspond to the characteristics of that particular sign. For example, from 1956 to 1970, Neptune was in Scorpio, and so those years had a “Scorpio” aspect to them. From 1970 to 1984, Neptune was in Sagittarius, so the times had a “Sagittarius” feel. Between 1984 and 1998, the influence of Capricorn was felt as Neptune moved through that sign. From 1998 to the present, Neptune has been in Aquarius, and thus an Aquarian influence has been felt. In 2111 Neptune will begin to move into Pisces.

One would need to write a book to explain this in a completely satisfying way, but if you start observing history, and in particular art, within the context of those periods of time, and are aware of the generally accepted characteristics of each sign, the Neptunian influence should become clear. As a musician, I first noticed it in trends in popular music.

Look at the periods when Neptune was transiting closest to the center of a particular sign; those being (respective to what I mentioned above) the years 1963-64 (Scorpio), 1977-78 (Sagittarius), 1991-92 (Capricorn), and 2005-06 (Aquarius). Notice the nature of the trends in music, fashion, art, comedy, culture, sexuality--and you will see the extent to which they correspond to the sign involved.

And as Neptune moves through one particular sign and into another, activity manifests as a blend of the “energies” of the two planets involved, so instead of times being, say, Scorpion or Sagittarian, they become a combination of the sign Neptune is exiting and the one it is entering, to the point where humans see the times they are living in seem to just “change.” Eras end and new ones begin.

The times to observe in this case would be the years 1956 (the Neptune transit from Libra to Scorpio), 1970 (the Neptune transit from Scorpio to Sagittarius), 1983 (the Neptune transit from Sagittarius to Capricorn), 1998 (the Neptune transit from Capricorn to Aquarius), and soon, 2111 (when Neptune transits from Aquarius to Pisces). Again, this is something else that is fairly is easy to observe when you start looking for it, and once again, something beyond the scope of this article.

By my observation, one of the many areas that this progression of “energies” manifests itself is in the way that fictional aliens are presented in film and television. Of these manifestations there are basically two types, which I refer to respectively as “aliens attack” and “aliens among us.” The former occurs when Neptune begins to go through the process of transiting from one sign into another, as mentioned above. It is during this time when one astrologically represented mindset begins to have its influence over the mass unconscious and human behavior in general, and the old astrologically represented mindset begins to fade. This new mode, being fundamentally different than the previous one, is perceived by the current unconscious mindset as “alien” and, sensing that the new mindset is becoming the more dominant one, the old mindset is threatened.

This conflict is subsequently represented in films and television programs in which “aliens attack.” For example, the first time that the “alien invasion” film was introduced into Western culture (i.e., War of the Worlds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Attack of the Flying Saucers) was during the years 1953 to 1956, the time just before the transit was beginning to be made between Libra and Scorpio. In the year 1967, as Neptune began to get closer to entering from Scorpio into Sagittarius there was the television show The Invaders, which was about a secret alien attack on earth. The years running up to 1983, the year that Neptune transited from Sagittarius to Capricorn, gave us the infamous miniseries V, which told the story of aliens who come to earth posing as benevolent saviors, but really plan to exploit and ultimately destroy the planet. In the years before the transit from Capricorn to Aquarius (1996 to 1998) began, there were the films Independence Day, Starship Troopers and Mars Attacks! There are different reasons and strategies involved as to how, but in this case, the aliens are always out to destroy or enslave the earth for their own ends. These films usually come in a “wave” during these particular times and then stop and there are generally no more popular ones until the next time that this Neptune transition occurs.

"Jolly" Good Times

Last year, the story of a man, John West, was presented on ABC. West admitted to killing his mother and father as a "personal medical decision" back in 1999. His two parents died 4 months apart from one another. Assisted suicide was already a hot topic of the day, and since John's father, world-famous psychiatrist Louis Jolyon "Jolly" West, was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and his mother was stricken with alzheimer's disease.

Now Jolly had lived quite a life. He was involved in some serious research dealing with mind-control and the occult. He even examined patsy Lee Harvey Oswald. The video below is a discussion with Brice Taylor, an outspoken victim of what she says was mind-control. Check out the video, ol' Jolly gets quite a mention. If true, this is some pretty intense stuff. If it's just a bunch of bogosity, then it merely makes for uncomfortable entertainment.

Man Reveals He Assisted Parents' Suicides 10 Years Ago Attorney John West Talks About Stunning Secret in New Memoir, 'The Last Goodnights'

For attorney and author John West, his parents were lifelong sources of comfort, wisdom and pride. But West has been keeping a 10-year-old secret about his parents from everyone, including his two sisters, which he is revealing for the first time in a memoir called "The Last Goodnights." West helped his terminally ill parents commit suicide, a crime in the state of California, where the deaths took place. In revealing his actions, West acknowledges he could face prosecution.

Magic Pop: The Brothers are BACK!

Well - if you were lucky, you got to see The Chemical Brothers new Swoon video, but Youtube wiped it off the block yesterday. You'll have to use other means to see it, but I'll just say while the song is damn good - this video is kinda tired and not the most visually stimulating thing CB fans have come to expect.

I posted the video because I was excited about getting tickets to see them in August (damn long wait...) and it's going to be a stellar time for sure.

In the meanwhile, enjoy this classic. I've enjoyed Where Do I Begin for a good 7 or 8 years. Enjoy the show!

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, say what?

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov is a leader of a Buddhist chess playing region of Russia called Kalmykia. In a TV interview, he claims he was taken up by aliens to see their ship. The sample taking aliens then returned him to earth, and all he got was a lousy t-shirt.

Could this be contact? He claims to have many witnesses, but is anyone biting? Read more here.

Disinfo Blogging Hail Storm

In viewing a website that is never quite off my radar, yet not fully absorbed by it either - Disinformation brings the goods, but I didn't know just how much goods they bring!

I found them when Raymond and Joe moved over to them after their 50th Out There podcast was posted - and have checked in periodically to see what they have. Well somewhere between then and now, there must have been some technical strategery that has brought them out of their shell.

All sorts of great topics, like the Mystery virus in the US with links to an Israeli scientist, pot stories and a rare PKD video! Keep it coming Disinfo.

1st off - happy Mother's Day to every mother in the universe and beyond. You're all a source of life, but without getting too much further into the rabbit hole of mysticism, today was reserved for a lot of blogging about the recent explosion of UFO information on the internets. So much information that it's mind boggling. There is problematic situation brewin' across all search engines, websites and social networking playgrounds. It's a fantastic problem. The divide among the skeptics and the believers is deep, like it always has been (in my experience) only now both sides are speaking out almost with reckless abandon and regularity. Where does on start and where does it all begin? Religious factions are chipping in and to compound matters further, there are all those nasty media makers and snake oil salesmen who are on every corner of every chat thread (used to be they'd be outside in places where large public gatherings used to happen) where they gain popular alliances.

Over there you got your basset hound and otter lovers. Over there you got your UFO story slanger producing unverified information for a buck or two... You got your wide lens Facebook reposter. Over there you got Atlantic and Flat Earth Society with 5,000 members... Once again you turn to your aunt Maureen asking her for some tips for teens.

Government involvement? I dunno - you tell me! The stock market is a weirdo hangout and 2012 is right around the corner. Those in command are leading a charge and the others are in hot pursuit, but before we get a little too esoteric our own good - let us get down to some specifics. And don't get me started on the whole strange excavations going on @ Giza. A man can only absorb so much in the 24 hours we are allotted per day, ya dig?

The list of links is long and tedious. It's a mess. There doesn't seem to be a hub that doesn't get too huge, like ATS, and any attempt at a good hub for the weird quickly branches out of control... but it all seems part of a long, winding, connected lab tunnel. You have to find a spot and dig your own hole if you so choose.

Last week there was some female NASA worker spread a FB rumor that quickly spread over knowledge of transmissions coming from the Red Planet. Then she went disappearing, which many believe was either an act of embarrassment or a hit. There wasn't too much in the way of evidence passed along publicly about what may have been discovered, but since it's out there, we may as well get a straight answer right? Well, the woman, disappeared. It's an inside drama you don't need to hear about if you dunno anything about it, but it you wanna look into Judy Fältskog, but if you get frustrated don't blame FMPU!

High strangeness indeed. There are those who believe there is something big on the way and there is not one individual with the perfect piece of cheese to hold to the light or dangle before us, instead it's just a bunch of extremely interesting videos, clips, pix, and you name it - flashy blogs... whatever you think.

Here's the story of someone with 17 personalities...

One afternoon in 1989, Karen Overhill walks into psychiatrist Richard Baer’s office complaining of vague physical pains and depression. Odder still, she reveals that she’s suffering from a persistent memory problem. Routinely, she “loses” parts of her day, finding herself in places she doesn’t remember going to or being told about conversations she doesn’t remember having. Her problems are so pervasive that she often feels like an impersonator in her own life; she doesn’t recognize the people who call themselves her friends, and she can’t even remember being intimate with her own husband.
