Is The Day the Earth Stood Still fiction, or fact?
The re-release of The Day the Earth Stood Still,
which opens Friday, Dec. 12, and the original version from 1951, could
be more factual than you think. For a more mind-blowing experience
watching either version of this movie, view it as an historical
documentary, and not science fiction.
Be careful though because
the current movie trailer indicates a departure from the 1951 script.
Instead of portraying extraterrestrial beings as the peaceful
emissaries they historically have been in real life, Hollywood again
seems determined to impose its addiction to fictional violence on the
masses.
Boulder resident, Paola Harris,
teaches a course about Hollywood’s role in disclosing UFO information.
She has proposed that the 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still
(DESS) may have been the first collaboration between the military and
film industry. The goal was to get the public used to the reality that
“we are not alone”.
Many U.S. Presidents have known about UFO’s from “outer space”. On February 22, 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote a “Double Top Secret” memorandum
to the “The Special Committee on Non-Terrestrial Science and
Technology”. He wrote about using “…non-terrestrial know-how in atomic
energy…” and “…coming to grips with the reality that our planet is not
the only one harboring intelligent life in the universe.”
The
1947 crash of a “flying saucer” in Roswell, NM was acknowledged by the
Army on one day and denied the next day with a staged photo of some
man-made debris. But witnesses reported that there were bodies and
debris not from Earth. At the time, Roswell Army Base was the only
authorized location to store atomic bombs.
The 1951 DESS movie
takes place in Washington, D.C. with an ethical emissary from outer
space seeking peaceful relations with Earth and warning world leaders
to not use atomic weapons. In real life, the following year in July
1952, numerous UFO’s were seen hovering over the U.S. Capitol for
hours. Photos of the UFO’s were part of front-page stories.
On Feb. 20-21, 1954, President Eisenhower met representatives from another planet. Dr. Michael Salla of the Exopolitics Institute
has offered details of this from eyewitnesses. The purpose of the
meeting was to negotiate a treaty in which the extraterrestrial people
demanded that the U.S. stop exploding atomic bombs. Eisenhower didn’t
go for it. Nine days later on March 1st, the U.S. exploded its largest
nuclear bomb to this day. The author of this article was born the same
day.
Since then, many times extraterrestrial craft shut down nuclear missiles
beyond the control of base commanders. Some of these commanders have
spoken publicly about this on American television during 2008. But
there was never any hostile intent by the alien crafts observed.
So read a little about disclosure
of UFO’s and extraterrestrials. Then see if you can tell fact from
fiction in the old or new version of this movie. Most of all though,
have fun.
