An Australian
Researcher Offers a Startling Explanation for World Events
Imagine this scenario.
The U.S. government obtains intelligence
that hidden somewhere in central Iraq is an actual stargate, placed
there by
the Anunnaki "gods" of
ancient Sumeria. This is a device
that employs time travel technology and permits individuals and
equipment to pass into another dimension outside of the space-time
continuum. Once there, it is possible to travel across the galaxy,
or into another galaxy, instantaneously, and then pop back into
space-time on another planet.
Consider further, that the government also learns that
Nibiru, the “12th Planet,” is due
to make its return passage through our solar system on its 3600 year
orbit, in a matter of months. In this scenario, when Nibiru is
closest to earth, the Anunnaki, the ancient huge hominoid “gods” of
Sumeria who built the stargate, would, it seems likely, take the
opportunity to travel to earth through that same stargate, and will
set up their encampment in Iraq. By default, this will have the
effect of propping up the current regime.
U.S. government leaders know that such an eventuality must be
prevented at all costs, so they decide that with the help of
extraterrestrial allies, they must invade Iraq and close the
stargate. The Russians, Germans and French, however, having been
intimately involved in Iraq’s archaeology, know what they’re up to,
and prefer that the stargate remain open, thus preventing American
domination of the world. With time running out, President Bush
invades Iraq.
American scientists raid the museum, and
close the stargate, thus frustrating the grandiose ambitions
of the self-styled reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam
Hussein, and making the world safe for
the New World Order.

Has an ancient link
between Earth and the stars been found nearby?
Is this the sequel to the movie
Star-gate? Is it a new episode of the TV series? Is it a new Star
Trek movie? No, it is none of these.
According to Dr.
Michael Salla, it is probably
exactly what actually happened! Such a fantastic theory would not be
expected from someone whose entire career has been spent in
academia, pursuing rather conventional political and diplomatic
studies. Dr. Salla, an Australian national, obtained his M.A. in
Philosophy from the University of Melbourne, and then his doctorate
in Government from the University of Queensland in 1993.
After spending two years as an Associate
at the Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian studies in
Australia, he joined the faculty of the Department of Political
Science at Australian National University in Canberra, as a
lecturer. In 1996, he came to the U.S. and gained an academic
appointment at the School of International Service at American
University in Washington, D.C. where he remained until 2001.
He is currently researching methods of
Transformational Peace as a Researcher in Residence in the
Center for Global Peace at American University.
The Missing
Factor
Dr. Salla’s Iraqi stargate theory is expounded in
a paper written for publication.
Several other research papers by him exhibiting what seems to be
first-rate scholarship and elaborating on his intriguing views about
world events, can also be found
here.
Salla is among those who think that the extraterrestrial presence
should be a major factor in all political decisions and actions.
Like the proverbial ‘elephant in the room’ the alien factor, he
believes, is just too big to be ignored, and therefore it seems
highly unlikely to him that it is being ignored. But what goes on in
clandestine meetings is not public policy, so Dr. Salla brings the
subject out into the daylight by reviving the previously obscure
concept of ‘exopolitics,’ dusting it off, and giving it new life and
meaning.
The “exo” prefix has become established
as a reference to aliens, e.g. “exobiology” refers to the study of
alien physiology and biochemistry. Dr. Salla formulated his
exopolitical theory when, in his work in international
conflict resolution, he became convinced that there was a missing
piece. Some external agency was not accounted for.
When he factored in the ET influence,
it all came together.
In a 10,000-word research paper titled
The Need for Exopolitics: Implications of
Extraterrestrial Conspiracy Theories for Policy Makers & Global
Peace, Dr. Salla says that exopolitics,
“can be defined as the policy debate
over the choices governments and populations need to make in
formulating and implementing legislative and policy responses to
the presence of ETs in human affairs.”
He claims that exopolitics is actually
already being practiced in secrecy by the major world governments.
In this paper, though, Dr. Salla gives a good example of how public
exopolitics should be conducted. As our government should be doing,
he reviews all the sources of evidence of the E.T. presence to
date, and then uses this reported information to try to
comprehend the nature of alien intentions.
He does this by identifying four
possible perspectives and evaluating the strength of the
evidence for each category.
-
According to the Intruder
Perspective, the aliens are here for their own purposes, and
their abduction and hybrid program activities are intrusive and
callous to human concerns. Although they pose no direct military
threat, this attitude would tend to justify defense concerns and
the development of weapons with which to confront them.
-
Taking the Manipulator
Perspective, a case can be built that
the aliens have been manipulating humans
covertly since we first appeared here. There is
evidence that this has been conducted through their human
proxies via secret societies and support of a human controlling
elite class.
-
From the Helper Perspective,
it appears that the aliens are here to help us to grow in
consciousness and solve our problems. Much evidence supports the
view that the “ETs play an important role in encouraging
humanity to achieve peaceful resolution of international
conflict, and in preventing nuclear proliferation and the use of
other destructive weapons.”
-
And finally, there is the Watcher
Perspective. According to this view, the aliens are agents
of a larger galactic organization and are here to observe a
“great experiment” that may help other planetary societies if we
resolve it correctly. These aliens are all-powerful, and
although non-interventionist, are ready to step in if absolutely
necessary. Of these four possibilities, he claims that the
strongest evidence supports the Intruder and the
Helper Perspectives, and therefore government policies
should actively address both of these.
Dr. Salla makes five recommendations.
-
First, we must create the field of
exopolitics so that schools and colleges may prepare diplomats
for dealing with the extraterrestrial presence, and also the
ET’s themselves. This would require highly specialized training.
-
Second, and perhaps most important,
he argues for the pressing need for immediate disclosure so that
exopolitical leaders can bring the best academic minds all over
the world into the problem-solving matrix, rather than just
those now secretly employed by the government.
He says,
“This would lead to a more
representative decision-making process in contrast to what
the evidence suggests is a restricted decision-making
process on the ET presence run by a small number of
government officials ‘appointed’ in a manner which raises
serious concerns over their accountability, constitutional
status and lack of congressional oversight.”
It may be true that the
“Military-Industrial Complex” has effective ways of identifying
and utilizing brilliant and talented individuals, as in A
Beautiful Mind. And furthermore, Dr. Salla claims that they
have “brain-enhancement” technology which can raise an IQ by as
much as 50 points. But, there are obvious disadvantages to
operating in a climate of secrecy, fear and intimidation, and we
are all being shortchanged by this policy.
Dr. Salla’s position is that only a free and open discussion can
elicit the responses appropriate to the incredibly complex
problems and fabulous opportunities presented by the
existence of several alien races on the planet, displaying
powers and technologies that are thousands of years ahead of us.
He believes that waiting for official disclosure will cause us
to lose valuable initiatives and opportunities for change, and
could actually be disastrous.
-
Third, the government must reveal
exactly what weaponry and defense measures they have developed
for dealing with the “alien menace.” The military should not be
permitted to expend considerable national resources in this
effort, without congressional and public oversight.
-
Fourth, the government should reveal
whatever new technologies they have developed by reverse
engineering alien craft, and the discovery of new energy sources
based on extraterrestrial information. It is strongly suspected
that we already have anti-gravity space ships capable of
inter-stellar flight, time and/or inter-dimensional travel
capabilities, free energy devices that would free us from fossil
fuel dependency, and other advances that could eradicate
sickness and poverty all over the globe. Clearly, it is
presumptuous and immoral for a small group of individuals to
keep these things under wraps while there is so much misery on
the planet.
-
And finally, there must be a
concerted effort to develop effective congressional and public
oversight of these clandestine activities.
As Salla sees it, most observers
around the world were upset when the U.S., as some see it, created
its own case for the invasion of Iraq, and went ahead without
obtaining what they believed was an adequate world consensus,
moreover, with active opposition from some of our traditional
allies. Citing evidence for hidden “weapons of mass destruction” as
a causus belli, and rejecting the failure of U.N. inspectors
to have found such weapons, the U.S.—led coalition quickly over-ran
the Iraqi defenses.
To Salla it seemed the operation must be
aimed at beating some sort of an urgent deadline. If this was all
about oil, why the urgency? Dr. Salla is convinced that the
pressing need to invade Iraq was based on a clandestine exopolitical
analysis and decision.
He believes that the U.S., Russia,
Germany and France have been aware that the Anunnaki left
behind some very hi-tech apparatus, and possible weaponry, when they
abandoned the earth around 1700 B.C., and that Saddam Hussein
had been getting assistance from Russian, German and French
archaeological teams for years, in an attempt to unravel, and
perhaps reverse-engineer this apparatus, which Salla claims is
probably far in advance of any technology we might have obtained
from
the Grays from Zeta Reticuli who he
believes to be our friends.
If a European-Iraqi alliance were able to back-engineer this
technology, and/or strike up an alliance with the Anunnaki when they
return, Salla thinks, then whatever military advantage the U.S. has
had with its technology, even including anti-gravity craft, would
probably disappear, and we would quickly become a second-rate power.
Basically, Salla is claiming that all
political decisions are now exopolitical decisions, which
must be hidden from the public to prevent the possibility of
overthrowing the secret ruling elite.
Salla believes that a covert,
intense struggle is being played out behind the scenes against the
backdrop of the E.T. presence; earthly political powers are
maneuvering for alliances with superior E.T. races to gain world
domination.
The Stargate
at Uruk
Salla’s opinion that the technology buried beneath the desert sands
of Iraq is an actual stargate has been heavily influenced by the
writings of
William Henry.
Zecharia Sitchin never entertained the notion that
the Anunnaki could have set foot on earth through an
inter-dimensional portal, although he came very close to that idea
in
Stairway to Heaven.
A primitive version of that concept had been floating around the
sci-fi world since the advent of Star Trek in the sixties. Captain
Kirk and friends could be “beamed” down to any planet by a
dematerialization-rematerialization process. Sitchin believed that
the Sumerian tablets showed the existence of space-ports at various
places in the Middle East from where the Anunnaki traveled back
and forth to Nibiru in rocket ships. He wrote that some of the
tablets indicated the probable utilization of orbiting craft as
well.
But William Henry, with whom
Atlantis Rising readers are very familiar, in his recent research
paper titled, “Saddam
Hussein, The Stairway to Heaven and the Return of Planet X,”
makes a compelling case for the existence of such a stargate in
Iraq.
Replica of Solomon’s
Temple
This paper, in turn, uses material
extracted from his book,
Ark of the Christos: The Mythology, Symbolism
and Prophecy of the Return of Planet X and the Age of Terror.
While Henry’s essay is of course speculative, he nevertheless takes
on an authoritative tone, and makes copious references to ancient
mythological texts, as well as Zecharia Sitchin’s works.
The following statement summarizes his argument, and is probably one
that Dr. Salla was influenced by:
“The return of this planet centers
on the recovery of a technology once housed at Solomon’s Temple
that is used to open a gateway linking earth with far-off
regions of space. Recent military and political activity
suggests that the world powers are jockeying for position as if
the return of Planet X is imminent. The stakes are high. This
planet is at the center of a biblical prophecy known as the Day
of the Lord.”
An illustration in his article shows a
picture of an ancient Sumerian tablet in which the god Anu, the
ruler of Planet X, appears to be going through a gate, flanked by
two people holding posts or pillars with globes on top. Henry calls
these poles “splendid shining posts,” and claims that they represent
the stargate in a simplified form.
Another Sumerian tablet illustrated in
the article shows Gilgamesh going through a similar gate.
Gilgamesh was the hero of the ancient Sumerian epic poem, The
Song of Gilgamesh, written about 2900 B.C. He was the king of
Uruk, a city in southern Mesopotamia, who sought immortality by
searching for the “Stairway to Heaven and the abode of the Gods.”
Ultimately, he ascended a ladder and
went through a gate, and entered a new world where he met long-dead
Utnapishtim (Noah) and questioned him about the gods. Dr. Salla
believes the stargate will be found at Uruk, where German
archaeologists have been digging for many years at the invitation of
Saddam Hussein, and have unearthed an ancient city.
He thinks that the stargate may have
already been unearthed, but cannot be used because it probably takes
about five years of consciousness expansion training before someone
can walk through the gate. This is consistent with the modus
operandi of the now famous
Montauk experiments in time travel,
which were driven by the enhanced mental power of one man,
Duncan Cameron.
At this point, Salla believes, it appears that exopolitics is being
covertly practiced by most of the major world powers. Likely secret
agreements and alliances with various ET groups have been attributed
to the U.S. and Britain, Russia, China, Germany dating back to World
War II, France, and very possibly Iraq.
Dr. Salla believes that the
weaponry (e.g., the atom bomb) and wars of the 20th century may well
have been connected with these alliances.
This trend towards dealing with
extraterrestrials as near equals, he believes, is encouraging
progress for the human race, since it means we are coming out of our
planetary cocoon.
But, if we become embroiled in a weapons
escalation race, fueled by competing ET factions fighting for
domination of the planet, and are being used as pawns in this
struggle, then it is clearly time to make the whole thing public and
allow the people to have a voice in preventing their own doom in an
apocalyptic war, i.e., Armageddon.
