Occam's razor and chicken-skinned lies

I am amazed by the wildly improbable explanations the public will swallow in order to evade confronting paranormal realities.  The latest example is RT News claiming the alien body allegedly discovered in Siberia in the area of multiple authenticated UFO sightings was hoaxed by filling chicken skin with bread.   If you're unfamiliar with the video in question, please watch it by clicking HERE.

Occam's Razor is a theory that states the simplest explanation for a phenomenon is the most probable.  In the case of a relatively realistic-looking alien body, the simplest explanation is that it's an alien body.  Does that mean this isn't a hoax?  Heck no.  It could be, and I am personally reserving judgement.  But if it is a hoax, it's a sophisticated one.  In fact, I'd say that's the second simplest explanation for this footage; a sophisticated and realistic-looking hoax.  I don't know about you, but chicken skin and bread doesn't seem very sophisticated to me. 

The video is jerky and the resolution is poor, even by YouTube standards.  It's not like anyone is going to get a chance to touch or smell the body.  Why go to the trouble of creating it out of actual organic material when it would be so much easier just to mold it out of rubber?  Plus, how does one cover a fake alien corpse with chicken skin and make it appear seamless?  I challenge you to look at the picture below and tell me you believe it could be a fake alien covered with the integumentary layer of chickens.



Chicken skin and stale bread?  Please.

 No seams.  No stitches.  Just a smooth layer of skin over a humanoid form including skeletal and muscular structures.  There are sunken eyes.  There are teeth in the mouth.  Chicken skin and bread?  I don't think so. 

So if it's not chicken skin and bread, why would someone say so? And why would that information come from a newly-reputable news source like RT? One word: Disinformation.  I trust I don't need to define that for you or explain why the powers that be utilize this tool to shape the collective view of reality.

Swamp gas?

When the Mexican Air Force released footage from their own jet fighters of  11 balls of light 11,000 feet over the arid climate of their country, the official explanation was that pockets of gas somehow ignited.  Never mind that the footage clearly shows these lights in rapid and synchronized flight, or that these objects were clearly defined on radar.  Ah, the old swamp gas pat explanation!  A glaring clue that someone is lying to you, to be sure. 

Phoenix Lights March 13, 1997

When a series of lights appeared of Phoenix, AZ the night of March 13, 1997 for millions to see, the United States government tried to tell us it was a bunch of paratroopers with flares dropped from an A-10.  Never mind that the objects hovered motionless for several minutes, an impossible feat for a group of parachuting soldiers.  It defies reason.  Why would the military post such a blatant lie?  Because they have to explain it away for the American people, but they're challenged to come up with a better substitute for the truth.  This is your first clue there's something big going on here.  Maybe you should pay attention?

Witnesses of the actual Roswell crash and cover up claim to have seen bodies of humanoid extraterrestrials.  How did the U.S. government explain them?  They were just confused by crash test dummies.  Frank Kaufmann, an intelligence agent who saw the bodies for himself said, "The military can say what they want, there's not a doubt in my mind..." All the Roswell lies have been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked, but the general public is still on the fence.  I guess it goes to show that obvious lies as disinformation actually work.

Or at least they used to.

Human evolution - Believe less, question more

How many lies do we have to be told before we stop swallowing official explanations?  I believe the mass consciousness of those of us populating the Earth at this time is changing.  I believe we're wising up, as a whole.  We're beginning to understand there is a class of humans who would try to control the vast majority of us.  We're beginning to understand their motivation, and we're starting to recognize their modi operandi when we see it.  There's a growing readiness among the population to automatically question the veracity of every official explanation put before us.

This is evolution, and it has been spurred by a cascade of lies from on high.  From the USS Maine to Roswell to JFK to the Gulf of Tonkin to 9/11, the truth bubbled to the surface and growing legions of the disenfranchised are now disinformation-resistant like so many super germs.

When it comes to the reality of extraterrestrial and interdemensional life and technology, decades of sightings from credible people have convinced a growing group that something is going on.  We're left to wonder why our "leaders" and trusted "journalists" would gloss them over with poorly-constructed lies. 

Just this year NASA publicly adjusted the number of planets they believe could support life by almost 300%.  There are hundreds of billions of stars within each of the hundreds of billions of galaxies in the known universe.  Avant-garde thinkers in new physics have found mathematical reasons to believe there may be multiple universes and multiple layers of dimension within each.  In the face of these numbers, to postulate that Earth is the only planet with intelligent life is nothing short of ludicrous.  One has to really want to keep their head in the sand to continue to ignore the evidence that we're simply not alone!  And with 13.7 billion years to play with, it's a safe bet some really intelligent life out there has developed some really advanced technology!  I don't know about you, but an authentic alien body is looking more and more like the simplest explanation.

So: If a real alien body is the simplest explanation, and a sophisticated hoax is the second simplest explanation, but the story "they" are trying to feed you is chicken skin and bread, the emergent theory becomes the actual alien body by default!
And if governmental agencies are so willing to toss out glaring lies that smack of disinformation, shouldn't we be asking ourselves - and them - why?  What are they trying to hide from us?  What are their true intentions?  They're so ready to lie to you, can you honestly believe they have an ounce of concern for your safety and well-being?  Seems to me you're just a cog in their machine, and a nuisance if you believe in things like UFOs and benevolent alien civilizations.

Now that I've laid out the case against the chicken skin hoax, I ask you to ponder another question:  Where is the body now? 

MSNBC continues disinfo streak about UFO Disclosure

Ever since seeing the alien body footage from Russia last week I've been wondering who will jump out to prove it's a fake first.  I guess I'm not surprised it's MSNBC.  It seems to be their policy to bat down anything related to UFO Disclosure. 

But judging by the headline (Siberian snow job: 'Dead alien' video is a hoax), I thought MSNBC would actually be able to back up their claim that this was, indeed, a hoax. Guess I deserve to be disappointed by my former favorite news outlet.

Disinfo author Benjamin Radford lays out his "evidence" as follows:

The first is the way the video was shot; it opens with what is called an "establishing shot." This is a common filmmaking technique to let the viewers know where the scene is taking place. (We see this in sitcoms, for example, when we're shown the exterior of a house or apartment before cutting to the action inside the room.)

The Russian alien video clip begins, inexplicably and improbably, with a wide shot of a snow-covered rural area and what appears to be a factory in the distance. The handheld camera then pans right to find the cameraman's companion nearby, and then to a snowy trench leading to what appears to be the small alien creature.

It's clear that the filmmakers knew the alien was there, and didn't just "discover" it on cue. Furthermore, the actors, who speak in Russian, can be heard laughing, and their tones do not suggest that they just stumbled upon a genuine alien body.

Besides that, the scene doesn't even match up. The camera follows a snow trench leading to the alien (suggesting a spacecraft crash ), yet no space vessel is seen. Instead, it's just the alien, seemingly posed for dramatic effect — indeed, one of its legs appears to have been torn off in the crash — as if it had been flying under its own power when it suddenly dropped from the sky.

.It's also suspicious that the alien just happens to look almost exactly like the popular depictions of "little green (or gray) men." These are the typical big-headed, small-limbed aliens that appear on T-shirts, movies, books, and elsewhere. The alien dummy's skin is translucent, which is a nice creepy effect seen in many Hollywood films, but could have easily been made using clear gelatin and animal parts from a butcher shop.

Here's the video:


Do I suspect it could be a hoax? Sure, but not for the reasons mentioned by this complete non-authority with nary a piece of evidence to back his claim. In fact, while the general public might expect a post on MSNBC.com to be actual news, this is just one closed mind's opinion based on a series of conjectures.  Do I suspect the body could be genuine? Sure, since no one has been able to point to a really good reason to discount it.

Yeah, the photographer uses an establishing shot. Yeah, the Russians are somewhat jovial about their discovery. Nothing about the video indicates they just happened to discover the body at that moment. Rather, it seems obvious to me they'd previously found the body, used the establishing shot to give their viewers a reference, and then showed them their find.

Why is that so difficult to grasp?

The funniest thing about Radford's so-called evidence is he claims it looks too much like what we expect an alien to look like. Let's apply that to video of...oh, I don't know, let's say a horse. Looks like a horse. Must be fake.  This is the sort of non-sequitur thinking that has worked to sway public thinking in the past.  The public has grown wiser.  Maybe there's a reason it looks like an alien, Benny-boy. Maybe it's a bloody alien!

In the end, I find the shiny transparent layer around the body to be suspicious. Other than that, if it's a fake it's a darned good one.

Furthermore, there were sightings in that very area witnessed my many people.


That actually happened. Sightings have been actually happening at an increasing rate globally since October 2010. There is something going on. There is something out there. That much is real.

Why can't this be?

America: Headed for an abrupt end?

History repeats itself.  We all know this axiom well, but how many of us believe it actually applies to our times, our lives, our country?  We know empires fall.  We know revolutions sweep societies.  But could it happen here in America?  And could it happen soon?

Recently I read a chapter on cyclology from the unpublished book The End of Our Century by Francois Masson, originally written in French and translated to English by David Michael Steinberg.  Though never actually published, it can be read for free on David Wilcock's site Divine Cosmos.  The book was written in 1979-80, and as the title connotes, it focuses on the end of the 20th century - now obviously in our past.  But while the overall work spotlights one particular moment in time, the chapter on cyclology is perhaps still pertinent today. 

What this section of the book postulates and subsequently supports with multitudinous examples is that history does literally repeat itself.  This is not a new idea.  Plato made the theory famous, giving the figure of 25,920 years to a complete cycle.  Incidentally, this corresponds to the amount of time the Earth cycles through the Great Year, or precession of equinoxes.  It might be interesting to note here that the Mayans knew about this 25,920 year cycle, too.  The calendar you've heard so much about is based on it.  Furthermore, you might be interested in knowing that the Hindus, the Bible, and the Zodiac all have cycles that are based on this number or a factor thereof. 

There are many cycles which have been used by various civilizations: the Manvantara and the Yuga of the ancient Hindus, the cycle of Daniel, the polar or ternary cycle and the Biblical cycle of seven times 77 years. But every one of these is found in the perfect number, 25920 years, by simple division or multiplication.

Here are the various basic cycles obtained by this method:

25920 / 2 = 12960. 12960 x 5 = 64800 years, the Manvantara cycle.

25920 / 10 = 2592 years. The Daniel cycle.

25920 / 6 = 4320 years or Yuga cycle in the tradition of India.

25920 / 12 = 2160 years, cycle of a civilization or a religion and corresponding to the precessional passage from one constellation of the Zodiac to the next.

25920 / 12 = 2160 and 2160 / 2 = 1080 years, cycle of opposition to what was created at the start of the 2160-year cycle.

2160 / 3 = 720 years, so-called polar phase or ternary division pointed out by Rev. Father Poucel.

Being French, Masson applies his cyclical analysis to French history, which may not be very exciting for classically French-hating Americans (although the ties and similarities between the French and Russian revolutions are intriguing!).  Perhaps I might be able to grab a little more of your attention if I told you that by using his system he predicted the fall of the Soviet Union a full decade before it happened. 

Around the first of March 1990, coup d'etat in the non-European part of the USSR, putting an end to the Bolshevik revolution. Inauguration of a new regime January 1991?

Remember, that's a prediction he made circa 1980!  Who would have thought then that the USSR would become week, let alone completely dissolve?  The official date is Christmas Day, 1991 - the same year Masson predicted. 

But he also connects the history - and downfall - of Rome with that of America.  That's right.  Hits a little closer to home and now you're interested, right?

His analysis is detailed and extensive.  I'll save you the minutia and hit you with the hilights:

To show the importance of numbers, we will take for example the US, which Michel Helmer and many other observers consider the new Rome: the same spirit of enterprise, the same general morality, the same kind of laws as republican Rome.

There's a detailed comparison between Roman leaders and Nixon and Carter.

In 187 B.C., Scipio Africanus, who defeated Antiochus, was being tried, and:


2160 years later in 1973 it was the Watergate scandal that forced Nixon, who had honorably terminated the Vietnam War, to resign and retire to his estate, just as Scipio had done 2160 years earlier.

In 184 B.C. the famous Cato, called the Censor, was elected, and 2160 years later, in 1976. J. Carter was elected.

For the sake of comparison, let us review Cato's life: he came from a family of plebeian farmers and always remained a rustic. Upon his father's death Cato quit the armed forces and cultivated his land, as did Carter.


Cato came up through the ranks from private to military Tribune and served in the Roman wars. In 198 B.C. he was elected plebeian edile and proved merciless toward usurers [sic] when he was governor of Sardinia.
The life and acts of J. Carter so far strongly resemble that archetype. He is first and foremost a man of the soil. He was a sailor and Navy officer, a follower and disciple of Admiral Rickover when the latter pushed through the launching of atomic submarines, a practically absolute weapon which led to a long American supremacy.
To return to the future: Cato, during his government, his "censorship," tried to bring Rome back to the pristine morality of the first Romans, in opposition to the moral laxity of Hellenistic culture.

To this end Cato issued several decrees on the economy and life style of the Romans and a famous decree on women's luxuries.


Carter, 2160 years later, follows the same route with his economic measures on big cars and their excessive consumption, and his famous remark about the underwear of the western settlers to combat the cold.

I suspect you get the point.  Francois Masson was able to look at the history of Rome and see a cyclical relationship between events in antiquity and corresponding events in what were relatively current American events.
This reminds me of another euphemism:  Rome didn't fall in a day.

Enter Pulitzer-winner and former New York Times war correspondent Chris Hedges, who watched the fall or the Soviet Union firsthand.  In an exclusive interview with Raw Story today, Hedges unleashes a dire prediction:  The U.S. empire could collapse at any time.

Speaking to Raw Story on Wednesday night, he said the signs of US collapse are plain to see and compared the country's course through Afghanistan to Soviet Russia's.

"We're losing [the war in Afghanistan] in the same way the Red Army lost it," he said. "It's exactly the same configuration where we sort of control the urban centers where 20 percent of the population lives. The rest of the country where 80 percent of the Afghans live is either in the hands of the Taliban or disputed."

Hedges was one of roughly 135 activists who participated in an act of civil disobedience that resulted in their arrests outside the White House yesterday, even as Obama was unveiling a new report on progress of the war in Afghanistan.

Hedges said he attended the protest and planned to get arrested because he is against the corporate powers that have enveloped the nation. "We've undergone a corporate coup d'état in slow motion," he said.

America's military and economic empire could collapse at any time, but predicting the precise day, week or month of its potential demise is unattainable.

"The when and how is very dangerous to predict because there's always some factor that blindsides you that you didn't expect. It doesn't look good. But exactly how it plays out and when it plays out, having covered disintegrating societies, it's impossible to tell."

And if America falls, what are the chances she would go by herself?  The civilized world is on the brink of economic collapse.  The future looks precarious even just based on what we regular folk get to see from the bottom of the planetary pyramid scheme.  Who knows what's really going on at the top.  From the news being leaked and trickled down by insiders, there's a literal war going on that's far from the headlines. 

In closing, I'd recommend you try to read the headlines of the day through a new prism.  Not that you can do anything to stop it if it's coming - but at least you won't be surprised.  Keep your eye on anything to do with currency, unrest, and China. 

I'm not saying I believe America is going to end soon.  I'm just noticing that other people are.  After all, as we all know, history repeats itself.
