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.

The X-Files Returns! Some Related Podcasts and Links

The X-Files made its return to television last night for a six episode limited engagement.  The show has certainly had a massive influence on the conspiracy topics Larry and I are interested in, and have covered on the Media Montage Podcast over the last few years.

The episode, titled My Struggle, hit on many of the topics that have risen to prominence in the conspiracy field since the original run show went of the air in 2002.

The episode touched on Conspiratainment, Nazi scientists, ARVs (Alien Reproduction Vehicles), 911/False Flag theories, reverse engineered alien technology and the episode strongly hinted at the Breakaway Civilization theory.

Here are some Media Montage Podcast episodes that can inform you on some of those topics:

Episode 21: Conspiratainment - embodied in Joel McHale's Tad O'Malley character, an Alex Jones style Conspira-Tainer.

Episode 70: Operation Paperclip - Nazi scientists brought to the US post WW2, who found themselves intimately involved in the origins of the CIA and NASA.

Episode 101: Introduction to the New World Order - Overview of the plots to implement a single, dictatorial World System instituted by sinister cabals.

While Larry and I haven't covered ARVs or Breakaway Civilization...yet...Here's a good presentation about those some of those theories from Walter Bosley of secretspaceprogram.org:



Get yourself up to speed on some of the weirdness mentioned in last night's episode. It's cool to have the X-Files back, even for a limited run, and I can't wait to see what the next five episodes have in store.

The Truth is STILL Out There!

Media Montage Podcast 106: Chariots of the Gods? (1970 Film)

Did humanity get a jump start thousands of years ago via in Extra Terrestrial intervention? Is Earth merely the location of the biggest Cargo Cult in all of creation?  Bruce and Larry visit the ancient astronaut theory and watch Chariots of the Gods?, the 1970 film adaptation of Erich Von Daniken's book of the same name. 

They look at the plausibility of the theory as well as criticisms of invented evidence and bad science. They explore the theory's impact on popular culture including Jack Kirby and Battlestar Galactica. 

All that and more in Episode 106 of the Media Montage Podcast!

UPDATE from Bruce: For some reason when History Channel reaired "In Search Of...: they recut the open/closing credits. Here is the original, groovy, ultra 70s credits:
