What the Hell is Going on Up There?

 

  This came out of nowhere:
CAPE CANAVERAL — President Barack Obama will ask Congress to extend International Space Station operations through at least 2020 but abandon NASA's current plans to return U.S. astronauts to the moon, administration and NASA officials said Wednesday.

 

NASA since 2004 has invested $9 billion in developing the Constellation program's Ares I and Ares V rockets and the Apollo-style Orion crew capsule for missions to the moon, Mars and, in the event no commercial means becomes available, the International Space Station.
This is particularly surprising not only because of the worldwide space rush (with both private companies and sovereign governments pumping out new hardware at an astonishing rate) but also because we were told the LCROSS bombing mission (which was meant to detect water ice beneath the permafrost) was the first step in building bases on the Moon

And if you remember, the exopolitical community cried foul in the weeks leading up to the launch:
The NASA moon bombing, a component of the LCROSS mission, may also trigger conflict with known extraterrestrial civilizations on the moon as reported on the moon in witnessed statements by U.S. astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and in witnessed statements to NSA (National Security Agency) photos and documents regarding an extraterrestrial base on the dark side of the moon.
I obviously can't corroborate any of that, but one thing is for certain- to everyone watching, the LCROSS mission was a total dud. It very much looked as if the rocket was disabled and disarmed well before it struck the surface. 

As Richard Hoagland wrote:
No One ... anywhere on Earth -- from the most psyched amateur to the professionals at the largest terrestrial observatories, even to the Hubble Space Telescope itself in close Earth orbit -- none of these folks or instruments saw ANYTHING actually hit the surface of the south pole of the Moon!
Nevertheless, weeks after the disastrous display NASA pulled out their secret decoder rings and declared yes! the LCROSS mission was a smash success!

And exactly two months later we saw a much more impressive missile display over the skies of Norway, on the eve of Obama's big Nobel speech. Everyone seemed to accept the Russian missile story or chalk it up to HAARP (which is Conspiranese for "magic").
  And this past week, more missile madness- two days before Obama suddenly reverses course and cancels a long-running, well-funded and highly-anticipated Moon program, another strange missile appears in the northern skies, this time over Canada. No one has claimed credit for it. 

What's more, the Canadian government says it's not even a missile. How about that? And in the midst of all of this, the unthinkable- after years of attacking, ridiculing and blacklisting anyone who spoke about aliens above a whisper, a blue ribbon panel of scientists get together at the Royal Society in England and discuss the very real possibility of alien contact. 

 One scientist even strikes this explicit cautionary note:
Governments should prepare for the worst if aliens visit Earth because beings from outer space are likely to be just like humans, a leading scientist is claiming.
Which reminded me of this story which we looked at earlier in which the famous remote viewer Ingo Swann warned not only of alien lunar bases, but also of hostile aliens:
(Swann's) book describes his experiences with an ultra secret government agency where he is asked to remote view the dark side of the Earth's Moon. They observed mining and manufacturing operations are along with human looking extraterrestrials. An E.T. base on the dark side of the moon had extensive buildings, roads, and human forms digging.
Swann also says that things aren't so copacetic between the national security state and the aliens:
Swann makes it very clear that our government is very much intimidated by these ETs. They are not friendly. He concludes that extraterrestrials are living on earth in humanoid bodies. He also talks about the fact that DENIAL of the ETs is a patent fact. The question is WHY?
"Why?" Hostile aliens in human form walking the earth? If that were true, do you not think that might make a few folks kind of uneasy? 

  Then there are these apocryphal quotes, from Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, whose behavior over the years has seemed peculiar to some observers.
Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?
Armstrong: It was incredible, of course we had always known there was a possibility, the fact is, we were warned off! (by the aliens) There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city. Professor: How do you mean "warned off"? Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big!...and menacing! No, there is no question of a space station.
Maybe in this light, Obama canceling the Constellation program is a bit less surprising. Remember that the Apollo 11 boys were quite adamant that NASA forget the Moon and turn its sites on Mars while meeting with Obama on the 40th anniversary of the Moon landing (or whatever) at the White House. In any event, the cancellation of Constellation is not going to discourage folks who believe the Apollo missions were faked or those who believe that we've been warned off the Moon by outside forces. Speaking of NASA, there are reports of gigantic UFOs appearing in close orbit around the Sun:
NASA’s Stereo spacecraft monitoring the Sun began registering huge spherical UFO’s in the vicinity of the Sun around January 18, 2010. According to one observer, the UFOs “appear to be moving as they are in different positions on many [of the NASA Stereo] photos, and are huge possibly at least the size of Earth. Physicist Nassim Haramein says ET UFOs access our solar system through the Sun’s star gate. (like in Star Trek IV!- CK)
So what the hell is going on up there? Is this all working according to those apocryphal warnings about a space war attributed to Werner Von Braun? Maybe, but it's very hard to square the cancellation of the Constellation program with all of that. 

At the very least, Constellation would offer excellent cover for a military program. At most, it would provide a highly desirable strategic platform. How about "Project Blue Beam", or more accurately some real-life secret program for faking an alien invasion that is something other than a Fundamentalist fever dream? Could be, but it's all unfolding in such a random, scattershot manner, it's hard to divine any obvious agenda. 

 But there is one thing I think we will see and that's a whole hell of a lot of water-muddying in the days to come. So always watch the hands and not the lips. 

UPDATE: I don't know what to make of what is going on with NASA. This interview with NASA's new chief claiming that any future space flight will be strictly international is extremely strange, especially given that this impacts Florida economically, which is an important swing state for Obama. 

What I am hearing is that we might be seeing an end to NASA's manned space flight programs for the time being. What I am seeing is a man who's certainly charming enough, but seems extremely nervous, is talking very quickly and isn't making a tremendous amount of sense when it comes to explaining this policy. This is all very, very strange.

  UPDATE: What's even stranger is that Obama's NASA overhaul was announced on the 42nd anniversary of the death of Gus Grissom. For those not familiar with the bizarre Obama-Grissom sychronicities, click here and scroll down. 

I'd say that this announcement is a pretty significant addition to this ongoing Grissom obsession, wouldn't you? Having followed these strange, almost ritualistic connections with the President, I'm downright shocked. 

 UPDATE II: Just so you can see how much has changed since LCROSS, watch this video from 60 Minutes where NASA was talking openly about cities on the Moon. 

POSTSCRIPT: If I were going to write a sci-fi screenplay about all of this I would have LCROSS be a last ditch effort to destroy an alien base with some kind of superweapon which was then foiled by the aliens in front of the entire world. In turn they would then show off all sorts of exotic weaponry to terrify the world's leaders into acquiescence. 
The authorities' hand is forced and so a meeting of prominent scientists was convened to begin to condition people to the existence of aliens, which was then followed by some kind of disclosure and/or contact event. 
What do you think- that sound like a hit to you?
