INVADERS FROM OUTER SPACE: HOLLYWOOD STILL TERRORIZES

Well, it’s seventy-three years ago on October 30th 1938 that Orson Welles with a radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” terrified Americans with a broadcast that has gone down in history.
If one goes to Grover’s Mill, a hamlet outside Princeton, New Jersey. there is a commemorative stone, and it shows a scene associated with that broadcast. It’s said some people were so horror-stricken that they suffered nervous breakdowns and there were reports of suicide. Such was the power of the media. It learned to pump human adrenalin. And it still does.
I write this as I attend the annual symposium of the Alliance Studying Paranormal Experiences in Taos, New Mexico. At a forum attended by a flock of VIPs in the Paranormal field including Dr. Donald Burleson, Star Child of the DNA Recovery Project, Steven Jones of the British ET Contact Experience, Michelle Many specializing in Planetary Meditations, Rainbow Eagle, an Okla-Chocktaw American Indian Philosopher, Travis Walton, a UFO abductee, British crop circle researcher Lucy Pringle, and film producer-director Paul Davids who produced the old classic “Roswell” and is in Taos to introduce his new film “The Life After Death Project.”
Ever since Orson Welles sparked fear into the minds of Americans, Hollywood has regularly and routinely maintained films that fuel the public’s fear of so-called “Aliens,” those beings from another part of the Universe whose sole plan is, according to Hollywood scriptwriters, the torture and destruction of the human race.
Given the opportunity to speak, I attacked the Hollywood practice of showing all visitors from another planet as evil and threatening. There is no evidence that entities from an extra-terrestrial existence wish us any harm. Of course, the way Hollywood shows it the “invaders” must be annihilated with military might and yes, even nuclear force as the ultimate defense solution. This very action spurs continued fear among most people on Earth and it sends a terrible negative and war-minded message out into the Cosmos.
My charge to Hollywood was made while I looked at Paul Davids, and for this I apologize. The charge was to the Hollywood moguls who capitalize and profit from the idea that Earth might be invaded by beings from outer space. Paul is one of those producers who is actually helping extra-terrestrial consciousness by producing films that are scientifically based.
Attendees at the Taos Symposium saw a movie on the previous night “Fire in the Sky” and I walked in for the last fifteen minutes to see a disgusting scene of so-called aliens operating on a helpless human being in the worst way, with a terrifying needle coming down into the abductees right eye. That is terrorism – inducing and spreading fear among Americans and others. Luckily, the next movie was Paul Davids’ classic “Roswell.”
It’s good to know that Travis Walton, whose story was told in “Fire in the Sky” is working to have the Hollywood tainting of his story corrected. -- Robert Egby.
