Wayback Wednesday: The Deep State and UFO Cults

It’s Wayback Wednesday! We continue our Summer of Disclosure programs with a 2010 interview with the brilliant Paul and Philip Collins about the intelligence community’s work to encourage the belief that we’ve been visited by ETs. First released July 11, 2010 FOLLOWING UP our discussion of ufology and “alien” theology last week, we continue to examine the alien gospel with Paul and Phillip Collins, authors of The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship: An Examination of Epistemic Autocracy, From the 19th to the 21st Century. The brothers Collins make the case that elements within the intelligence community have deliberately and systematically encouraged the belief that we’ve been visited by intelligent life from other worlds. Oddly, people who claim to have met these visitors say many of these uninvited guests are bringing the same message Adam and Eve heard in the Garden: “Ye shall be as gods.”
