Media Montage 126: Breakaway Civilization and the Secret Space Program



Imagine Earth is doomed. Imagine the elite masters of the world know this and hatch a series of schemes to save themselves. Imagine they also have at their disposal, technologies well in advance of what we think of as 'High Tech. Imagine they've run a Secret Space Program in pursuit of 'Alternative 3,' the third option to escape a dying Earth and establish a separate Breakaway Civilization.

This week Bruce and Larry investigate theories surrounding Alternative 3, The Secret Space Program and the Breakaway Civilization.  How could such a scheme advance?  Where is the technology from? How long has this plot been going on? These questions and more in Episode 126 of the Media Montage Podcast.

Anglia TV's Science Report: Alternative 3


Walter Bosley on the possible origins of The SSP and Breakaway Civilization, as well as some history on the Sonora Aero Club:



Paranoia Magazine's rundown of the Alternative 3 scenario as it relates to the X-Files Season finale (My Struggle 2) which aired this week. Episode 126 of MMP was recorded before the final two episodes of the X-Files aired.

Christopher Knowles of the Secret Sun Blog, looks at the finale at his Solar Satellite Blog. His analysis and deep read of Chris Carter and the X-Files is fascinating and enlightening, and gave me a very different view of the revival than most commentators.
