The 'Lost in Space' Reboot Is a Contrived Upgrade of the Original
For the majority of science fiction fans today, the 1960s was the decade of Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Planet of the Apes, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. For others, this list also includes Lost in Space. Most millennials may vaguely recall a cheesy film of the same name in 1998, starring Gary Oldman and the funniest Friend, Matt LeBlanc, but some may not realize that that film was a poor reimagining of a classic show. From 1965 to 1968, viewers were privy to the trials and tribulations of the Robinson family as they navigated the turmoil of being lost in space. It was a hit show for CBS, unlike ‘Star Trek, which scraped by but has endured through films and franchise spin-offs.

On each and every low mossy mound or hillock which dotted the land all around him Alex saw Martians. He could tell who they were by their tanned complexion which was slightly puffed out as an adaptation which enabled them to breathe better through pores of their skin. Their faces were ruddy from living in a colder, windswept environment and many of them were dressed in fur-trimmed buckskins which offered better warmth.

He Wanted to Believe
Crashed spaceships. Alien abductions. Cattle mutilations. Bases that don't officially exist like Dulce Base in New Mexico. Thanks to countless movies and TV shows, these conspiracy theories regarding government cover-ups regarding the UFO phenomenon are known to millions around the world. The origins of such ideas are far more humble, troubling, and far closer to home as Greg Bishop reveals in his 2005 book Project Beta.

Amphipathic
It was the seventh spring of the seventh year after I met you, the time it all started. My world was rocked to its foundations. I wonder if my voice can still reach out to you beyond the fields of infinity, whoever you are and wherever you may be. I have no memory of you, but if I find you again, I might find myself…

Is the Moon Landing Extra Terrestrial Misdirection?
Have you ever heard someone say we didn't go to the moon? Did you just shake your head and say, "what in the world is that person talking about?" Of course we went to the moon, didn't we?If you search for the top ten conspiracy theories, you are inevitably going to run into the conspiracy theory that claims we never went to the moon. It will probably be listed right after the conspiracy theory claiming the Government knows about the existence of Extraterrestrials.What no one takes the time to do is realize, with the possibility of Hetlau, it doesn't really matter whether we actually went to the moon or not. If you stop to think about it, if Extra Terrestrial Spacecraft (ETS) are transiting star systems and ferrying people back and forth from other planets to Earth, going to the moon and back is a non-event. So why would Hetlau even has us go to the moon in the first place if it is such a waste of time and energy? That, surprisingly enough, is exactly the reason. The Hetlau have a problem in that the need to build out an ETA on Earth to facilitate their system after disclosure. They need to do it without the EA realizing it's being done. In order to do that, it's going to take some pretty fancy storytelling.By telling the EA they need to "go to the moon," it creates the possibility that a psychological syndrome will exist that most of the EA will succumb to and dedicate whatever time and resources are necessary to accomplish it. This, in turn, creates an enormous financial and resource vacuum that allows the Hetlau to shift massive amounts of money and resources in the direction they want to develop the technology they want to be developed. All the while, they have a complicit EA who thinks he is helping himself, not hurting himself. Then possibility exists once the Hetlau accomplish the purported objective, they start generating false stories saying i'ts a conspiracy theory and that it never happened. This creates the effect of misdirection. You'll notice that no one ever blames the conspiracy on aliens using the EA to complete the moon landing program in order to divert finances and resources into developing the technology they want to be developed. You can see how, more than a half a century later, the possibility exists the public hasn't learned a thing. Now we are embarking on a plan to land people on Mars. Just like all the other nonsense the Hetlau are performing on Earth, going to Mars is just a repeating pattern of the going to the moon exercise. It's learning to recognize these repeating patterns that provide a preponderance of evidence in the absence of corroboration that enable you to see what is really going on.Another way to see what is going on is to learn to recognize the hand gesture. The possibility exists Hetlau have placed this in books, magazines, movies, TV shows, drawings, paintings, pictures, and statues throughout history in order to leave hidden clues. This way they can prove to the EA they have been here the whole time when disclosure occurs. So if you know what to look for, you can see disclosure in advance. Probably the single largest group of people making the hand gesture other than Hollywood Actors & Actresses is Astronauts.

Best Cult Sci-Fi Anime Movies
Anime has been one of the most powerful cartoon genres ever created, and has become synonymous with Japanese culture. Though we all know about classic anime series like Pokémon and Naruto, a lot of the best works in this entertainment genre aren't actually TV shows. They're movies.
