Intestellar Trading Base out of Antartica. So, if we are trading with people from other star systems, these other worlds are not all 5 or 12,000 years old

Reviewed by someone going by A.I.

I mean the guy didn’t even get “religious” and he validated INDIRECTLY many aspects of “the books of enoch” “revelations ” and “the book of giants” with out even going into those books. Hence the many religious reflections and comments indirectly made about this book in Amazon reviews.

I get it. If you read the book, you will know why, but thats only if YOU take this book in that direction. when you read it, you will see why, powerful without even trying. I had to collect my thoughts and I actually cried.

I mean, the way he just throws “facts” at the reader giving you references to check out his source and I did which will open up your mind to further research and it won’t end.

…a mission which took him to the jungles of Indonesia. He actually witnessed a “U.S. Government ” UFO. He spoke with the operatives of the craft and asked what were the containers they had. They were for, guess what they told him: human trafficking.

The author’s research presentation of of the entities involved in Antarctica high-tech R&D and manufacturing is certainly plausible based on both physical, historical & empirical evidence, and real observation by witnesses. Although he reveals Old Testament account’s of the history of mankind and its alleged association with extraterrestrial kind, he totally ignores how God intends to deal with the evil of the evidenced Antarctica slave trade.

I can only say, “buy and read this book sooner not later”. I hate to use the word shocking because it’s so over used these days but the information in this book is shocking. It answers so many questions surrounding ufos our modern history and the state of world affairs. I’ve just finished reading the book. I feel all of these things: betrayed, disappointed, scared, unsure, but mostly I’m mad. You see, I was born in 1948 and I’ve been reading ufo books since I was in junior high school. as a young msn I watched star trek and yerned for a future where mankind traveled in space and explored the universe. Now I’ve learned that the whole time I was waiting for the future the ruling elite of Earth have stolen that utopian future, turned it on its head and been out there my whole life, all in secret and not for the benefit of humanity at all. Meanwhile stealing our planet’s resources both physical and human to serve the one percent of the one percent not just here but out there too!
Now at 70 I fear for the future.

Reviewed by derryl
The ancient history of Earth and humans, and interactions with technologically advanced extraterrestrials who were called star people and gods, is not unknown to modern humans. But the knowledge has been suppressed, and since the 1920s the technologies have been developed for imperialistic military purposes rather than humanitarian purposes.

If you are new to this, then before reading this book I would recommend reading Phillip Corso’s Secret Science and Secret Space Programs. Corso’s book is more grounded in what most people might find credible, beginning with the Roswell crash of 1947. Without that foundation of knowledge of what is really going on in our world, you may find Salla’s Antarctica book incredible.

Which it is — not because it is not true; but because the truth is so far different from what most people have been led to believe in.

Yes, Imminent is on the NYT Bestseller List 95 weeks.

IMMINENT by Luis Elizondo The former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program shares insights on unidentified anomalous phenomena. Buy ▾ 95 weeks on the list

Source: Bing, Is Imminent on the NYT Best seller list?

qid=&sr=

… former U.S. Air Force officers described numerous nuclear missiles mysteriously malfunctioning moments after a disc-shaped craft was observed hovering near their underground launch silos.That shocking episode, in March 1967, was merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Documented UFO activity occurred at a plutonium processing plant in Washington State as early as January 1945, months prior to the atomic bombings in Japan. Another incident, in October 2010, involved one missile base in Wyoming being unable to communicate with several of its missile launch control capsules just as a huge cigar-shaped craft slowly flew over them.

Review of Imminent by Paul Stowe

I found this book informative and well written. However, it became clear that Luis is missing many key historical aspects of this topic. Do not get me wrong, this book I great, and will go a long way towards giving this topic the legitimacy it deserves. For example, it seems that Luis is unaware that key elements are fully aware of the agenda and nature of these beings. There are also aware that the beings have had a permanent presence on the Earth for millennia and present no overt threat to humanity. And, if they had such intentions there is absolutely nothing that we could do about it. The real reason for not wanting to reveal/acknowledge this is because of political/economic/religious instability. Believe me, this has been evaluated closely.

So,

1> We have the Old Testament telling us about other beings
2) We have the Books of Enoch telling us about other beings
3) They didn’t pop out of existence.

This has to be a fact of life.

When I was a kid I went through a “UFO” phase. Natural enough. I grew up on endless TV reruns of 50s’ sci-fi movies. I was an avid reader of Marvel comics and fantasy/sci-fi books. I filled the sky with flying disks on cryptic errands. But I made a fatal mistake. I actually became interested in astronomy. The short of it is that I’ve spent almost my whole life looking at the night sky and the wonders available therein, even with the naked eye. The problem is that our civilization is so well lighted that most people have never actually beheld even the glory of the banked clouds of stars that form the Milky Way. So occasionally when they do look up they see things. Things they can’t identify.

The truth is, when people ask if you “believe in UFOs” what they’re really asking is if you believe there are aliens visiting us in space ships. Sorry to be a buzz kill but there is really no evidence for this. Only breathless anecdotes.

But I’m not here to debunk. Only to make a point.

We have analyzed our own solar system thoroughly enough at this point to be confident that we do not share our Sun with another sentient technological species. So if we are visited by aliens they will have sprung from another solar system, children of another star. They will be hundreds, if not thousands of years ahead of us technologically. Just to come here they must solve the problems of energy and sustenance. Conducting such long term projects as interstellar travel must assume the presence of a stable enduring social order for support.

They will have absolutely nothing to fear from us. We will have absolutely nothing they need or want. If they wish to observe us surreptitiously we will never know they exist. If they wish to perform the classic Hollywood maneuver and land on the White House lawn, we will be powerless to object.

This realization renders the recorded activities of aliens in these silly stories absurd. Isn’t it obvious? We’re projecting our own complexes and desires outwards onto the universe.

But then if I was a member of an unkind alien species, disguised behind a human mask, sizing up your planet for conquest, that’s exactly what you would expect me to say, isn’t it? (Cue the Theremin music.)

Are we now judging the veracity of a book’s claims by its Amazon rating? I missed that memo. Does anyone have a link to it?

Robert,
I was not impressed by “the credible reports … “

If it convinces you, then there must be something to it.
If it convinced the Vatican, then there must be something to it.

THorne56,
Add to that the quality of the reviews after the reviewers have read the entire book.

That is standard OP of . . . some on here. Has been for as long as I can remember.

It’s obviously a moronic metric of credibility.

It’s close to being book club members of people who’ve read the books and knowing what they think of it.
Sometimes this metric matches a book being on a bestseller list.

I’d rather get a flavor than going to a library and not knowing what the public thinks of a book.

I remember going to SMU or Baptist Theological Seminary or Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and seeing so many scholarly works on this, that, or the other gospel and wondering …

I’m also a big users of IMDB where I often check the reviews.
For example, The Killing Fields from 1984

60,000 ratings averaging 7.8 out of 10
Of the 60,000 ratings, there are 244 User reviews.

Apocalypse Now 719,000 ratings averaging 8.4/10, 1,400 people wrote reviews

Ran by Akira Kurosawa, 138,000 ratings averaging 8.2 out of 10. 354 people wrote reviews

Steefen, I hope that you are not asking me to take Amazon reviews as a measure of the credibility of fact claims in a book. As Porphory said, it is a moronic metric of credibility. My initial comment was intended as sarcasm … in case you missed it.

Do you use IMDB ratings as a measure of the credibility of truth claims within whatever is being rated?

Well, Stephen, how do you explain the credible reports of extraterrestrial technology hidden in the Vatican Archives?

Relics from space? An interesting idea. There is a religious aspect to belief in aliens. Some do expect Deep Wisdom from the Space Brothers. Just this week I received a flyer in the mail(!) from Unarius announcing their annual ** you do not have permission to see this link **. The Space Brothers will appear through a psychic of course. Who knows? Maybe the saucers will land this year.

Your argument does not hold up against…

Perhaps you’ve noticed this news item.

** you do not have permission to see this link **

Sure the tribe can take out a couple loggers with a bad sense of direction. But imagine the US Navy pulling up in a battleship! That would be the difference in technology between humans and aliens. Bows vs battleships.

The people who write these books still imagine that Earth is the center of the universe. Why would all these aliens be so obsessed with us? Why all this skulking about in the dark? Secrets? Irrelevant. Conspiracies? Unnecessary. Mostly, a profound, fundamental lack of imagination.
