I am saddened to report that this holiday I was exposed to the History channel once more and can report the fare is much more of the same. A relative started regaling tales of aliens and moon landing conspiracies that are âthe actual truthâ. This channel is now worse than Rhema TV.
I saw a post on Quora in which an archaeologist noted that outside of professional archaeology circles, virtually no one believes that the pyramids were built by the Egyptians, or served as tombs. I would guess History Channel may have something to do with thisâŚ
Egyptians?! What on earth are you talking about?! Clearly, it was aliens hailing from somewhere near the Pleiades, and not just the Egyptian pyramids, either! In ancient times, they also gave us other pyramids and monuments around the globe, and then visited Cydonia on Mars to carve a giant face in a rock, plus a few more pyramids, just to show us feeble humans that they arenât in the mood for any nonsense.
At least thatâs the story as far as Wayne Herschel and Birgitt Lederer are concerned, as inspired by such unbridled genius luminaries as von Däniken, Sitchin, Bauval, Hancock, etc. ad nauseam. Reading the reviews of the Herschel & Lederer book makes for an interesting exercise when one compares the number, thoughtfulness, and literacy of the âcriticalâ to the âpositiveâ ones.

Youâre slipping Mefi, you say âancientâ, but this is all PRE-ancient. They are much, much, much older than any civilization that has thus far been recorded, and the Egyptians merely discovered them. HA!
Youâre right, of course: I totally forgot about Xenuâs thetanic Teegeeackian antics. Those âvolcanoesâ were misreported in Space Opera lore; in reality they were fusion-fire-spewing pyramids, built 75-million years ago, and gone extinct since.

This is a weird combination of obvious intelligence and clever thinking on the one hand, and appalling ignorance on the other.
Unintentionally dirty and hilarious kidsâ art:

Nevermind the quotesâŚ
Pastor Chuck Auschwitz? Is kinda reminiscent of, oh well, chucking people into camps?
Canât put this on Facebook; Iâll, er, get crucified, but it kind of made my day:
Sadly Brian, I have put something similar on facebook before and got quite a chewing out from family and friends about being insensitive, a bad person, etc. etc⌠Some demanded I take it down: Cold day in hell before that happens.
Masturbation is perfectly normal and healthy. It releases dopamine and reduces stress. It also improves prostate and cardiovascular health.
And yet, I still get thrown off the bus.
