Summary

Gene and Chris present David G. Robertson, author of UFOs, Conspiracy Theories and the New Age: Millennial Conspiracism. In this scholarly work, the author asks, "How-and why- were UFOs so prevalent in both conspiracy theories and the New Age milieu in the post-Cold War period? In this groundbreaking book, [the author] argues that UFOs symbolized an uncertainty about the boundaries between scientific knowledge and other ways of validating knowledge, and thus became part of a shared vocabulary." The book focuses on Whitley Strieber, David Icke and David Wilcock. Yes, we know the hardcover edition of this book is extremely expensive. A low-cost paperback edition will be released in 2017.

And he brought on all the people of its time.

0:59.8

So that's where I started with this thing.

1:02.5

Anyway, we've had discussions off and on on the powercast with regard to the possibility of a secret space program.

1:12.3

Is that possible that we're investing billions or trillions of dollars,

1:17.0

sending men and women to the moon, to Mars, elsewhere?

1:21.4

But we don't account for it.

1:24.2

But maybe there's a source of where this money is coming from. And Chris, you posted something

1:30.1

in the powercast forums that discusses something that's nothing unusual, which is military waste,

It's like all these big companies who build these things,

1:51.1

not a single one of them competent enough to come in at or under budget.

1:57.1

Do you think this is where all these black projects are being funded, Chris?

2:01.1

Well, I mean, if you look at September 10th, 2001, when Donald Rumsfeld announced the results of an audit that he had done upon becoming Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush, made the incredible announcement that $4.4 trillion was misplaced in the
