Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,064 --> 00:00:03,530
Mass suicides
2
00:00:05,432 --> 00:00:07,976
Human sacrifices...
3
00:00:08,778 --> 00:00:10,578
Unholy rituals...
4
00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:14,046
They had ripped
vertebrae from his backbone
5
00:00:14,916 --> 00:00:16,584
to make a necklace.
6
00:00:16,886 --> 00:00:20,152
And his body parts were
put in a cauldron.
7
00:00:20,524 --> 00:00:22,689
Throughout history,
8
00:00:22,691 --> 00:00:25,491
people have claimed to have
otherworldly knowledge--
9
00:00:25,862 --> 00:00:29,895
and have led followers to commit
horrific acts of violence.
10
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:36,304
Are they con men?
Are they insane?
11
00:00:36,806 --> 00:00:39,972
Or might the voices in
their heads really be
12
00:00:40,009 --> 00:00:42,677
of an extraterrestrial origin?
13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,016
Applewhite made
the claim that he was chosen
14
00:00:48,017 --> 00:00:53,084
to reveal the truth as known
to these alien beings.
15
00:00:54,123 --> 00:00:56,389
They believed
that those gods wanted
16
00:00:56,459 --> 00:00:58,158
them to commit these acts.
17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,428
We have to
ask ourselves, are they doing
18
00:01:00,429 --> 00:01:01,928
this simply for their own amusement?
19
00:01:01,931 --> 00:01:05,666
Or, are they possibly leading
us in a direction, to attain
20
00:01:05,668 --> 00:01:08,136
something that they want?
21
00:01:09,338 --> 00:01:12,639
Millions of people
around the world believe we have
22
00:01:12,641 --> 00:01:16,210
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
23
00:01:16,712 --> 00:01:18,713
What if it were true?
24
00:01:19,115 --> 00:01:23,519
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,686
And might they be behind
mankind's deadliest cults?

San Diego,
California. March 26th, 1997.
28
00:02:13,130 --> 00:02:17,604
In a multi-million dollar mansion
in the gated community
29
00:02:17,606 --> 00:02:21,141
of Rancho Santa Fe, police make
30
00:02:21,143 --> 00:02:23,876
a bizarre and horrifying discovery.
31
00:02:25,047 --> 00:02:28,045
There were 39 bodies found.
32
00:02:28,118 --> 00:02:30,652
All of them dressed identically,
33
00:02:30,672 --> 00:02:33,971
all with the same Nike tennis shoes,
34
00:02:33,972 --> 00:02:40,572
all covered in purple shrouds,
all with the same haircut.
35
00:02:41,762 --> 00:02:46,462
All indications are that
this was a mass suicide.
36
00:02:48,872 --> 00:02:52,072
39 neatly arranged corpses
37
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:57,273
The final act of devotion
to a charismatic leader
38
00:02:57,274 --> 00:02:59,074
named Marshall Applewhite
39
00:02:59,075 --> 00:03:03,975
and the suicide cult he created
known as Heaven's Gate.
40
00:03:04,876 --> 00:03:06,076
We do know one thing,
41
00:03:06,077 --> 00:03:10,377
we don't care to clean
to the life of this body.
42
00:03:11,678 --> 00:03:15,178
Applewhite believed
that on that particular night
43
00:03:15,179 --> 00:03:21,579
a UFO would appear and the members of
Heaven's Gate committed mass suicide
44
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,380
immediately their souls would
be beamed up to the UFO.
45
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:28,608
We're ready
to leave this place.
46
00:03:29,311 --> 00:03:31,444
Marshall Applewhite...
47
00:03:31,747 --> 00:03:33,314
Charles Manson...
48
00:03:33,716 --> 00:03:36,150
Adolfo Constanzo...
49
00:03:36,752 --> 00:03:39,287
Shoko Asahara.
50
00:03:39,489 --> 00:03:44,058
Today, cult leaders are often
written off as con men,
51
00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:47,362
hucksters, or criminally insane.
52
00:03:47,864 --> 00:03:53,134
But in the ancient world, entire
empires were also ruled by men
53
00:03:53,136 --> 00:03:57,169
who claimed to have direct
links to a higher power.
54
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,877
The Roman emperor Caligula
who is perhaps the most
55
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:09,815
infamous, ruthless and sadistic
ruler of ancient Rome,
56
00:04:11,286 --> 00:04:17,658
he would even remove the
heads of statues of gods
57
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:20,461
and then place his own head there.
58
00:04:25,563 --> 00:04:28,669
It was a concept
that the Romans had inherited
59
00:04:28,671 --> 00:04:31,536
from the Greeks and the Egyptians.
60
00:04:33,108 --> 00:04:37,008
The whole kingship of
the egyptian rested on the belief
61
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:42,520
that there had been a divine king called
Osiris, who had come from the sky
62
00:04:44,521 --> 00:04:47,121
Ruling Egypt with his
sister wife lsis,
63
00:04:48,325 --> 00:04:51,993
and from her was born
a male child called Horus.
64
00:04:54,971 --> 00:04:59,171
Every pharaoh believe themselves
to be the reincarnation of Horus.
65
00:04:59,272 --> 00:05:00,972
They truly believe this.
66
00:05:02,573 --> 00:05:04,472
The pharaoh
clearly was really invoking,
67
00:05:04,473 --> 00:05:07,673
and convoking the message
of the gods to his people
68
00:05:08,274 --> 00:05:11,179
It was that authority
that built the pyramids;
69
00:05:12,381 --> 00:05:15,214
that built the temple
complex at Luxor,
70
00:05:17,016 --> 00:05:20,051
because the people believed
they were serving a god.
71
00:05:21,856 --> 00:05:25,959
But were the
ancient kings, pharaohs, and
72
00:05:25,961 --> 00:05:30,563
religious leaders merely
deceiving their subjects by
73
00:05:30,565 --> 00:05:33,765
claiming to have a
connection to the gods?
74
00:05:35,003 --> 00:05:39,506
Or might they have had actual
contact with divine or,
75
00:05:39,508 --> 00:05:42,743
as some would describe,
"otherworldly" beings?
76
00:05:43,945 --> 00:05:47,145
When we look
at those ancient systems of belief
77
00:05:47,194 --> 00:05:49,894
where the ruler, the emperor, the king
78
00:05:49,895 --> 00:05:53,795
was not just the divine
representative of the gods,
79
00:05:53,796 --> 00:05:55,396
but was a god himself.
80
00:05:56,297 --> 00:05:59,597
We can see obvious parallels
with modern day cults.
81
00:06:01,295 --> 00:06:04,695
Gods and aliens
may at the end be the same,
82
00:06:04,696 --> 00:06:06,096
it's simply using different names.
83
00:06:06,099 --> 00:06:10,035
Is this a spaceman from another
planet or is this a god?
84
00:06:10,573 --> 00:06:13,040
And it's simply our terminology.
85
00:06:18,242 --> 00:06:21,482
While in the hospital
recovering from a heart
86
00:06:21,484 --> 00:06:27,220
attack in the early 1970s,
Marshall Applewhite professed to
87
00:06:27,222 --> 00:06:30,958
have a vision that he and his
nurse, Bonnie Nettles, were the
88
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,129
so-called, "two witnesses" as
described in the New Testament
89
00:06:35,131 --> 00:06:37,165
Book of Revelation.
90
00:06:39,267 --> 00:06:43,104
After further visions,
Applewhite's story evolved--
91
00:06:43,106 --> 00:06:45,406
he told his followers that he and
92
00:06:45,408 --> 00:06:50,075
Nettles were actually aliens
inhabiting human bodies.
93
00:06:52,198 --> 00:06:57,497
Applewhite made the claim
that he was the exclusive means
94
00:06:57,498 --> 00:07:03,097
by which a power from outer space
would communicate with the world,
95
00:07:03,098 --> 00:07:07,997
that he had been chosen
to reveal the truth
96
00:07:07,998 --> 00:07:12,198
as known to these
superior alien beings.
97
00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:21,641
Part of our test
of faith is our hating this
98
00:07:21,643 --> 00:07:24,911
world-- even our flesh body
enough to be willing to leave it
99
00:07:24,913 --> 00:07:28,617
without any proof other than
what we have come to know.
100
00:07:30,019 --> 00:07:32,451
Whether the visions
Marshall Applewhite had were
101
00:07:32,454 --> 00:07:34,954
real or imagined, one thing is
102
00:07:34,956 --> 00:07:38,657
certain-- he believed
in them completely.
103
00:07:38,961 --> 00:07:42,329
He clearly believed
his own teachings and
104
00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:43,964
in fact, castrated himself
105
00:07:43,966 --> 00:07:47,633
surgically because that was
part of the teaching.
106
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:49,536
They believed that highly
evolved beings would have no
107
00:07:49,538 --> 00:07:50,971
sexual characteristics.
108
00:07:50,973 --> 00:07:53,939
Someone who is a con man
is not going to do this.
109
00:07:54,476 --> 00:07:57,377
If Applewhite
really was contacted by
110
00:07:57,379 --> 00:08:01,281
extraterrestrials, were they
the same beings that ancient
111
00:08:01,283 --> 00:08:06,556
astronaut theorists say visited
earth thousands of years ago?
112
00:08:09,758 --> 00:08:12,426
But if so why would they ultimately
betray and deceive him?
113
00:08:14,863 --> 00:08:20,500
Some believe the answer can be
found in the creation story as
114
00:08:20,502 --> 00:08:26,104
told by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia,
the world's oldest known civilization.
115
00:08:27,343 --> 00:08:33,642
The ancient Mesopotamians
stories talked about how the ancient E.T.s
116
00:08:33,715 --> 00:08:37,515
really wanted to keep control
over the human race.
117
00:08:38,417 --> 00:08:42,653
In Sumerian mythology,
the god Enki created humans
118
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:45,322
as a slave race-- but his
119
00:08:45,361 --> 00:08:47,794
superiors forbade him from
giving them knowledge
120
00:08:47,796 --> 00:08:51,495
of their true origins,
for fear of revolt.
121
00:08:53,234 --> 00:08:56,970
That was actually
the express intent of these
122
00:08:56,972 --> 00:09:02,576
extraterrestrials to actually
create that kind of ignorance.
123
00:09:03,478 --> 00:09:06,878
It's actually talked about in
some of the old creation stories
124
00:09:06,948 --> 00:09:09,714
and that was really what
the Biblical Adam and Eve
125
00:09:09,718 --> 00:09:13,320
story talked about as well,
when Adam and Eve wanted to
126
00:09:13,322 --> 00:09:16,789
partake of the fruit, which was
a symbol for knowledge,
127
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:21,259
but the gods said, "No, you cannot
have access to that knowledge."
128
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:27,935
According to the
ancient Sumerian texts,
129
00:09:27,937 --> 00:09:32,205
Enki defies his superiors and hands
130
00:09:32,207 --> 00:09:34,407
down this forbidden knowledge to
131
00:09:34,409 --> 00:09:39,677
a secret society known as the
Brotherhood of the Snake.
132
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:45,948
The Brotherhood of the Snake
was originally an organization
133
00:09:45,949 --> 00:09:49,849
by a benevolent alien who
wanted to bring this knowledge
134
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:54,650
but the other aliens objected,
defeated him and in fact,
135
00:09:54,651 --> 00:09:59,251
turned the Brotherhood around until
it became a sinister force in history.
136
00:09:59,252 --> 00:10:03,552
So, now the Brotherhood of the Snake
is used to undermine the human race.
137
00:10:04,453 --> 00:10:06,553
According
to ancient legend,
138
00:10:06,554 --> 00:10:09,554
the gods infiltrated the
Brotherhood of the Snake
139
00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:13,251
and the knowledge of their
true origin was distorted
140
00:10:13,252 --> 00:10:17,452
and humans would follow
false gods and masters.
141
00:10:17,553 --> 00:10:21,253
According to the legend, the
original Brotherhood of the Snake
142
00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:24,354
spread out into many diverse cults.
143
00:10:24,355 --> 00:10:30,755
And those cults in various incarnations
are still fighting one another today.
144
00:10:32,256 --> 00:10:35,156
So maybe the truth is
we're worshiping the same people
145
00:10:35,252 --> 00:10:36,852
more and more just in a different way.
146
00:10:36,853 --> 00:10:41,253
And we're understanding better
that they're not necessarily gods.
147
00:10:42,354 --> 00:10:46,454
They're just advanced creatures,
kind of like us, that are coming here
148
00:10:46,455 --> 00:10:48,255
and visiting us for a long time.
149
00:10:50,649 --> 00:10:53,318
Might
extraterrestrials really have
150
00:10:53,356 --> 00:10:58,222
posed as false gods in order to
keep humans under their control?
151
00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:03,962
And if so, could they have
appeared to Marshall Applewhite
152
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,399
and manipulated him and his followers
153
00:11:06,401 --> 00:11:11,135
into committing a
horrific ritual suicide?
154
00:11:13,541 --> 00:11:19,242
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
the answer is a chilling yes.
155
00:11:20,482 --> 00:11:25,182
And for further evidence, they
point to a series of shallow graves
156
00:11:25,253 --> 00:11:31,556
and a Mexican drug lord believed
to have supernatural powers.
157
00:11:37,914 --> 00:11:42,515
Matamoros, Mexico.
1989.
158
00:11:43,817 --> 00:11:46,852
Police investigating the
mysterious disappearance of an
159
00:11:46,854 --> 00:11:50,825
American college student
make a shocking discovery.
160
00:11:53,227 --> 00:11:59,264
On property belonging to drug
lord Adolfo Constanzo, they find
161
00:11:59,266 --> 00:12:01,868
12 bodies buried in a row.
162
00:12:01,870 --> 00:12:06,139
Some have been shot...
163
00:12:07,241 --> 00:12:10,610
others hacked to death with a machete.
164
00:12:11,512 --> 00:12:16,215
And one of the graves contains
the mutilated body of the
165
00:12:16,217 --> 00:12:21,084
missing student, 21-year-old
Mark Kilroy.
166
00:12:21,155 --> 00:12:24,788
They had ripped
vertebrae from his backbone
167
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,740
to make a necklace. And his body
parts were put in a cauldron.
168
00:12:31,041 --> 00:12:34,641
Constanzo followers believed fervently
169
00:12:34,642 --> 00:12:37,542
in his claims of supernatural power.
170
00:12:37,643 --> 00:12:44,143
And it was that power that was
the glue that held the cult together.
171
00:12:44,344 --> 00:12:50,944
And enabled him to murder
as many as 23 or more people.
172
00:12:50,947 --> 00:12:57,086
But what could have inspired
such brutal and senseless murders?
173
00:12:57,325 --> 00:12:59,325
Was it madness?
174
00:12:59,327 --> 00:13:01,493
Evil?
175
00:13:01,495 --> 00:13:05,698
Or was Constanzo guided, as he
professed to his followers, by
176
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,034
otherworldly beings?
177
00:13:08,336 --> 00:13:12,137
Adolfo Constanzo
practiced what is known as
178
00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:15,975
Palo sorcery, which is a
type of sorcery derived from
179
00:13:15,977 --> 00:13:17,343
African religions.
180
00:13:17,345 --> 00:13:22,047
He was a worker of
witchcraft who was trusted
181
00:13:22,049 --> 00:13:25,384
by drug traffickers to protect them.
182
00:13:25,686 --> 00:13:30,789
He became their miracle worker,
and to work his miracles, he
183
00:13:30,791 --> 00:13:35,794
created a cauldron in which he
would have dismembered parts of
184
00:13:35,796 --> 00:13:41,901
human bodies, of brain, all of
this to create incantations or
185
00:13:41,903 --> 00:13:46,305
spells to protect his sponsors.
186
00:13:46,307 --> 00:13:50,542
He claimed that he could protect
them from the police, he could
187
00:13:50,544 --> 00:13:54,546
protect them from bullets,
and they believed in him.
188
00:13:54,548 --> 00:14:00,252
This culminated in him
kidnapping and murdering and
189
00:14:00,254 --> 00:14:03,123
mutilating different victims.
190
00:14:04,625 --> 00:14:08,661
According to
scholars, Palo Mayombe
191
00:14:08,663 --> 00:14:12,831
incorporates traditions and
gods from numerous West African
192
00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:17,269
religions, but Constanzo
claimed a direct connection to
193
00:14:17,271 --> 00:14:22,875
Kadiempembe, more commonly known
by the Yoruban name, Eshu.
194
00:14:23,277 --> 00:14:26,812
Eshu, he's got this
very elongated head, he's got
195
00:14:26,814 --> 00:14:28,047
the very large eyes.
196
00:14:28,049 --> 00:14:29,381
He looks a lot, in the
197
00:14:29,383 --> 00:14:31,649
sculptures of him, like
an extraterrestrial.
198
00:14:33,086 --> 00:14:36,253
He doesn't look very different from
the modern day greys and ET's
199
00:14:36,273 --> 00:14:37,973
that we see so commonly.
200
00:14:37,974 --> 00:14:44,474
Was Adolfo Constanzo really
in touch with an extraterrestrial being?
201
00:14:44,975 --> 00:14:50,875
If so, what does that say about the
good or evil motors of alien visitors?
202
00:14:50,876 --> 00:14:55,876
Eshu was the trickster
god, he could speak all the languages
203
00:14:55,877 --> 00:15:00,077
he can change form, he can confuse,
he likes to destroy things,
204
00:15:00,678 --> 00:15:04,578
he also likes to create opportunities.
So he can sneak up on you
205
00:15:04,579 --> 00:15:09,179
in any number of ways, he
can be completely devious.
206
00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:14,980
He's the most ***,
a god who might tell you the truth
207
00:15:14,981 --> 00:15:18,881
three times in a row, though in
the full time, he's gonna lie and
208
00:15:18,882 --> 00:15:20,682
and that is the lie that's gonna trick you up.
209
00:15:20,783 --> 00:15:23,883
And he's been setting his
court of feeding you truth
210
00:15:23,884 --> 00:15:26,684
giving you hell only to
set you up for a foul
211
00:15:26,685 --> 00:15:30,185
maybe for comic effect or maybe
for much more serious effect.
212
00:15:31,975 --> 00:15:35,481
Eshu is also
represented in Haitian Voodoo as
213
00:15:35,483 --> 00:15:39,651
Papa Legba, a god that has been
linked to another notorious
214
00:15:39,653 --> 00:15:41,254
mass murderer.
215
00:15:41,756 --> 00:15:43,956
Papa Legba is Eshu.
216
00:15:43,958 --> 00:15:47,761
This is the Voodoo name
for the same energy.
217
00:15:47,762 --> 00:15:51,864
Papa Legba can speak all
languages, even the languages of
218
00:15:51,866 --> 00:15:55,367
animals, so he channels his
energy through dogs, and
219
00:15:55,369 --> 00:15:58,003
actually is somewhat fond of
that particular species, so
220
00:15:58,005 --> 00:16:00,672
he'll more often take that
animal form than others.
221
00:16:00,674 --> 00:16:04,777
The terrible serial murderer, the
Son of Sam, David Berkowitz,
222
00:16:04,779 --> 00:16:07,412
said he got his orders from dogs.
223
00:16:08,049 --> 00:16:12,518
One could speculate Papa Legba
is speaking through the dog to
224
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,685
the sinister end.
225
00:16:15,187 --> 00:16:17,689
Could the homicidal
acts of men like Adolfo
226
00:16:17,691 --> 00:16:22,061
Constanzo and David Berkowitz
have really been inspired by
227
00:16:22,063 --> 00:16:24,196
some unearthly entity?
228
00:16:25,198 --> 00:16:29,134
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, such an audacious
229
00:16:29,136 --> 00:16:33,872
idea is possible, and for
evidence, they point to a number
230
00:16:33,874 --> 00:16:37,976
of ancient legends and beliefs
throughout the world.
231
00:16:38,878 --> 00:16:44,311
If you look across mankind's
wonderful variety of these beliefs
232
00:16:44,407 --> 00:16:49,106
there are some odd type of
god figures which occur
233
00:16:49,107 --> 00:16:51,507
in culture after culture after culture
234
00:16:51,508 --> 00:16:56,307
they're completely resilient to change
its infortune of empires in history
235
00:16:56,308 --> 00:17:01,008
One of the most powerful of these gods,
which occurs in several cultures
236
00:17:01,009 --> 00:17:05,009
across vast of different periods in
history, is the trickster figure.
237
00:17:05,109 --> 00:17:08,509
Trickster gods
seem strange to Christians
238
00:17:08,509 --> 00:17:10,209
because they appear
to be demonic.
239
00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:17,783
But typically, in traditional
religions, the gods are amoral.
240
00:17:17,785 --> 00:17:21,587
And they have good and bad
qualities, and they can do
241
00:17:21,589 --> 00:17:23,188
mischief as well as good.
242
00:17:23,190 --> 00:17:27,693
And among their number is
Loki among the Norse gods.
243
00:17:27,695 --> 00:17:29,327
Loki was a shape-shifter.
244
00:17:29,364 --> 00:17:34,030
He could be a fish, often a salmon,
or a falcon so he could go fly.
245
00:17:34,535 --> 00:17:36,068
He could make himself in any
246
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:39,136
shape he liked, usually for mischief.
247
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,639
Among the Native Americans,
there was the coyote, a great trickster.
248
00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:46,444
In the Anasazi, there was Kokopelli.
249
00:17:46,981 --> 00:17:51,682
Among the Aztecs and the Mesoamericans,
there was Tezcatlipoca.
250
00:17:51,919 --> 00:17:56,621
Even the Christian
idea of Satan is a trickster god.
251
00:17:56,924 --> 00:17:59,158
We have to ask
ourselves: Are they doing this
252
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,859
simply for their own amusement?
253
00:18:00,861 --> 00:18:04,863
Or are they possibly leading
us in a direction to attain
254
00:18:04,865 --> 00:18:06,599
something that they want?
255
00:18:07,301 --> 00:18:10,235
It makes sense that a lot
of the gods that we consider
256
00:18:10,237 --> 00:18:12,871
"trickster gods" really
weren't gods at all.
257
00:18:12,873 --> 00:18:15,174
They were extraterrestrials
that set themselves up as gods.
258
00:18:15,376 --> 00:18:19,144
It's perfectly logical that
if you come to a place like
259
00:18:19,146 --> 00:18:21,680
the Earth, which is not nearly
as advanced, of course you'd
260
00:18:21,682 --> 00:18:24,883
set yourself up as a god,
or a king, or both.
261
00:18:24,885 --> 00:18:28,320
If we look across the
whole range of new religions
262
00:18:28,322 --> 00:18:32,057
and new cults which have claimed
contact with various alien
263
00:18:32,059 --> 00:18:36,161
beings, quite often we see a
real trickster element at work.
264
00:18:36,163 --> 00:18:39,431
One of my favorite examples of
what I would consider to be a
265
00:18:39,433 --> 00:18:44,369
trickster god form, in a very
modern UFO framework, would be
266
00:18:44,371 --> 00:18:48,707
Spectra, which was claimed to be
an alien intelligence circling
267
00:18:48,709 --> 00:18:50,442
the Earth in the early '70s,
268
00:18:50,444 --> 00:18:53,310
which was in contact with Uri
Geller and various other people.
269
00:18:54,414 --> 00:18:58,984
Beginning in 1971,
renowned psychic Uri Geller,
270
00:18:58,986 --> 00:19:02,988
along with Andrija Puharich--
a respected scientist
271
00:19:02,990 --> 00:19:07,192
and parapsychologist-- claimed
to be receiving mysterious
272
00:19:07,194 --> 00:19:09,094
telepathic messages.
273
00:19:09,096 --> 00:19:13,165
The messages, they said, came
from a computer intelligence
274
00:19:13,167 --> 00:19:17,167
orbiting the Earth that
called itself "Spectra."
275
00:19:17,171 --> 00:19:22,107
It would help them
see amazing psychic phenomena.
276
00:19:22,109 --> 00:19:24,276
It would make very accurate
277
00:19:24,278 --> 00:19:26,144
predictions, which would
seem to come true.
278
00:19:26,380 --> 00:19:29,715
And it was gathering around it
a number of people that really
279
00:19:29,717 --> 00:19:33,986
believed that Spectra was a very
special alien intelligence.
280
00:19:34,188 --> 00:19:36,722
Of course, it then did what many
281
00:19:36,724 --> 00:19:39,289
trickster gods seem to do:
It told them a big lie.
282
00:19:39,460 --> 00:19:41,392
It told them the world
was going to end.
283
00:19:41,895 --> 00:19:42,894
And a lot of people said,
"Well, it's telling us
284
00:19:42,896 --> 00:19:45,395
the world is going to end.
It must be going to end."
285
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:47,367
And of course it didn't.
286
00:19:48,669 --> 00:19:50,835
Could
Spectra have been a hoax?
287
00:19:51,205 --> 00:19:54,373
Or might it have been a
so-called "trickster god"--
288
00:19:54,375 --> 00:19:56,607
purposely sending false messages?
289
00:19:57,144 --> 00:20:01,446
And might some similar
extraterrestrial force or entity
290
00:20:01,448 --> 00:20:03,582
have been behind the actions of
291
00:20:03,584 --> 00:20:07,051
Adolfo Constanzo and others like him?
292
00:20:07,354 --> 00:20:09,521
Quite often in a
lot of UFO contactee cults, a
293
00:20:09,523 --> 00:20:12,991
lot of information starts off
being very, very sensible,
294
00:20:12,993 --> 00:20:16,227
appearing to check out, appearing
to have a lot of validity.
295
00:20:16,530 --> 00:20:19,898
But it gets stranger and weirder
and predictions are made and
296
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:21,366
things are promised, which are
297
00:20:21,368 --> 00:20:22,867
going to happen, which don't happen.
298
00:20:24,538 --> 00:20:27,238
We see it throughout the 21st century.
299
00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:30,976
Just as the new form of gods has
quite often become alien or
300
00:20:30,978 --> 00:20:33,912
inter-dimensional or
extraterrestrial, those gods
301
00:20:33,914 --> 00:20:37,313
are still going to behave
as trickster gods.
302
00:20:38,452 --> 00:20:40,986
Just because they're aliens
doesn't mean there's not a
303
00:20:40,988 --> 00:20:43,021
trickster element among them.
304
00:20:43,823 --> 00:20:48,026
When on May 6th,
1989, Adolfo Constanzo was
305
00:20:48,028 --> 00:20:50,162
cornered by the police, he
306
00:20:50,164 --> 00:20:53,164
ordered one of his
disciples to shoot him.
307
00:20:54,001 --> 00:20:59,704
He was estimated to have murdered
anywhere from 20 to 40 people.
308
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:05,177
But what if a similar deadly
cult is allowed to go unchecked
309
00:21:05,179 --> 00:21:06,812
for hundreds of years?
310
00:21:06,914 --> 00:21:12,985
Such a nightmarish possibility
did, in fact, happen.
311
00:21:13,987 --> 00:21:16,321
And its victims numbered-- not
312
00:21:16,323 --> 00:21:21,991
in the dozens or hundreds--
but in the millions.
313
00:21:27,264 --> 00:21:28,864
Bangalore, India
314
00:21:31,069 --> 00:21:35,190
In the private collection of
artist Jo Nambiar is a brass
315
00:21:35,192 --> 00:21:39,627
medallion made to honor the
18th century Italian sculptor
316
00:21:39,629 --> 00:21:41,362
Antonio Canova.
317
00:21:41,364 --> 00:21:46,201
The medallion bears the bust of
the artist on one side, with his
318
00:21:46,203 --> 00:21:50,338
famous work The Three
Graces on the other.
319
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,210
It is unique, not only because
of the medallion's artistic
320
00:21:55,212 --> 00:21:59,481
value, but because it is
connected to literally hundreds
321
00:21:59,483 --> 00:22:06,254
of murders committed all by one
man, known only as "Behram."
322
00:22:06,356 --> 00:22:09,188
When we talk about
"Behram" what we're talking about
323
00:22:09,195 --> 00:22:14,695
is a mass murderer. He was directly
responsible or a made participant
324
00:22:14,696 --> 00:22:15,696
in more than 900 murders.
325
00:22:15,697 --> 00:22:21,536
That's a staggering number, and
what appalls us and intrigues us
326
00:22:21,538 --> 00:22:25,407
even more was, he saw this as
an act of religious devotion.
327
00:22:25,809 --> 00:22:29,911
Behram dispatched with
all his victims by means of
328
00:22:29,913 --> 00:22:34,149
strangulation, using a long
strip of silk he wore wrapped
329
00:22:34,151 --> 00:22:36,717
around his waist called a ruhmal.
330
00:22:37,921 --> 00:22:41,289
The ruhmal had the Canova
Medallion sewn into it to add
331
00:22:41,291 --> 00:22:45,360
weight to one end, so when
thrown, it would easily wind
332
00:22:45,362 --> 00:22:47,628
around the intended victim's neck.
333
00:22:48,064 --> 00:22:52,634
But this method of murder
was not unique to Behram.
334
00:22:52,636 --> 00:22:57,205
It was also practiced by a
network of organized killers,
335
00:22:57,207 --> 00:23:01,207
who by the 19th century
numbered in the thousands.
336
00:23:01,845 --> 00:23:06,080
They were known as the "Thuggee",
and by even the most
337
00:23:06,082 --> 00:23:10,385
modest estimates, they are
history's deadliest cult.
338
00:23:10,987 --> 00:23:13,820
Nearly two million deaths
have been attributed to this cult.
339
00:23:13,824 --> 00:23:17,091
found in mass graves throughout India.
340
00:23:19,493 --> 00:23:22,564
They were really a band of thieves.
341
00:23:22,566 --> 00:23:26,100
They made their money by
attacking people and robbing
342
00:23:26,102 --> 00:23:28,537
them on the roadways of India.
343
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:35,872
Today, we call people often "thugs",
who are robbers, or violent criminals.
344
00:23:35,981 --> 00:23:40,849
And this word comes
from Thuggees of India.
345
00:23:42,351 --> 00:23:45,220
The Thuggee are
believed to date back to the
346
00:23:45,222 --> 00:23:49,924
1300s, and although many have
claimed they were no more than
347
00:23:49,926 --> 00:23:53,862
bandits, the Thuggee also
claimed they murdered their
348
00:23:53,864 --> 00:23:57,732
victims for a very specific
purpose-- to offer blood to the
349
00:23:57,734 --> 00:24:00,969
Hindu goddess, Kali.
350
00:24:01,771 --> 00:24:02,470
Murders were being
351
00:24:02,472 --> 00:24:05,205
done in the name of
Kali by the Thuggee.
352
00:24:05,508 --> 00:24:08,943
There was a definite cult
aspect to these murders.
353
00:24:09,145 --> 00:24:11,045
They weren't just about robbery.
354
00:24:11,147 --> 00:24:13,014
This was a devotional act.
355
00:24:13,316 --> 00:24:18,649
Kali is the Black
Goddess, she has sunken eyes
356
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:23,024
fangs, and she has a
very long lolling tongue
357
00:24:23,025 --> 00:24:26,525
She wears a garland
of human skulls.
358
00:24:26,727 --> 00:24:32,655
And she also holds a severed heads
and she holds a machete in one hand
359
00:24:32,656 --> 00:24:35,756
She's the most powerful
goddess there is,
360
00:24:35,757 --> 00:24:38,857
because she is totally unstoppable,
when she's angry
361
00:24:42,158 --> 00:24:47,457
The Thuggee cult were
wanting to offer blood to Kali
362
00:24:47,458 --> 00:24:51,458
because they didn't wanna
spill even one drop of blood
363
00:24:51,459 --> 00:24:55,556
they would strange
their victims so that Kali
364
00:24:55,557 --> 00:24:59,157
would be able to have all
of the victim's blood.
365
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:05,300
Curiously, although
Kali is a Hindu god, the Thuggee
366
00:25:05,302 --> 00:25:08,636
also included Muslims and Sikhs.
367
00:25:08,838 --> 00:25:12,407
The Thuggees came from
a very diverse background.
368
00:25:12,409 --> 00:25:15,944
So, we see these people,
following Kali, who may
369
00:25:15,946 --> 00:25:20,148
transcend religion, and they
believe that Kali is a goddess
370
00:25:20,150 --> 00:25:21,783
that comes from the stars.
371
00:25:21,885 --> 00:25:24,817
This may represent an extraterrestrial.
372
00:25:25,956 --> 00:25:29,190
Could the Thuggee
really have been influenced by
373
00:25:29,192 --> 00:25:31,192
an otherworldly visitor-- one
374
00:25:31,194 --> 00:25:35,361
who had been mistaken for
a god for centuries?
375
00:25:35,398 --> 00:25:38,466
And, if so why would an alien
376
00:25:38,468 --> 00:25:41,568
being have a thirst
for human blood?
377
00:25:42,105 --> 00:25:46,972
When you look at the
history of ancient cults and
378
00:25:47,086 --> 00:25:49,886
their worship of these
human-like extraterrestrial gods
379
00:25:49,887 --> 00:25:54,487
you find atrocities, human sacrifice
in the name of those gods
380
00:25:54,585 --> 00:25:59,185
They believed that those gods
wanted them to commit these acts
381
00:25:59,288 --> 00:26:00,823
to commit the sacrifices.
382
00:26:05,425 --> 00:26:12,033
Mount Llullaillaco.
Argentina, 1999.
383
00:26:14,235 --> 00:26:19,774
At the top of this 2,200 ft. high
volcano, archeologist Johan
384
00:26:19,776 --> 00:26:25,313
Reinhard discovers the frozen
remains of three human mummies--
385
00:26:25,315 --> 00:26:31,486
one boy and two girls--
all under the age of 16.
386
00:26:31,488 --> 00:26:36,691
Dating back approximately 500
years, they were also surrounded
387
00:26:36,693 --> 00:26:42,762
by a number of gold statues, silver,
ornate textiles and pottery.
388
00:26:43,233 --> 00:26:47,135
The children had been drugged
and left to die on top of the
389
00:26:47,137 --> 00:26:50,439
mountain as sacrifices
to the Inca gods.
390
00:26:51,041 --> 00:26:53,841
The lncas would make
human sacrifice after a major
391
00:26:53,843 --> 00:26:57,512
earth event, like a volcano or
maybe an earthquake, and the
392
00:26:57,514 --> 00:27:00,882
sacrifice would always be a child
between the age of six and
393
00:27:00,884 --> 00:27:05,720
14 years old-- an unblemished
child, a perfect child.
394
00:27:05,722 --> 00:27:10,154
Slaughtering their own
people, it was the ultimate sacrifice
395
00:27:10,221 --> 00:27:17,721
to kill someone in order to
possibly get the gods to return
396
00:27:17,722 --> 00:27:26,722
and that truce how intense those
encounters were thousands of years ago.
397
00:27:26,723 --> 00:27:31,623
For the Aztecs, human
sacrifice was so important
398
00:27:31,624 --> 00:27:37,124
that they believed it to be necessary
for the survival of the entire universe.
399
00:27:37,125 --> 00:27:41,525
The Aztecs sacrificed because
they thought the gods needed blood
400
00:27:41,526 --> 00:27:45,826
to maintain the universe.
And without human blood,
401
00:27:45,922 --> 00:27:47,422
the universe would die.
402
00:27:47,428 --> 00:27:50,331
At the consecration of one
temple, they allegedly
403
00:27:50,333 --> 00:27:54,335
sacrificed 20,000 people, in
which the persons were taken up
404
00:27:54,337 --> 00:27:56,604
to the top of these
pyramid-like structures.
405
00:27:56,606 --> 00:28:00,775
They were cut open, the heart
ripped out, held up, and then
406
00:28:00,777 --> 00:28:02,943
the bodies rolled down the steps.
407
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,913
But we have accounts that
408
00:28:05,915 --> 00:28:09,182
there were actually
volunteers for this.
409
00:28:10,019 --> 00:28:12,420
When we think of
these gods that the ancients
410
00:28:12,422 --> 00:28:15,790
talked about, or the modern
cults talk about, are we to
411
00:28:15,792 --> 00:28:19,427
assume that these aliens are
wanting us to conduct blood
412
00:28:19,429 --> 00:28:20,495
sacrifice?
413
00:28:21,297 --> 00:28:25,867
Or could that just be our
interpretation of what they want?
414
00:28:26,369 --> 00:28:29,570
Do alien visitors
really desire the blood of
415
00:28:29,572 --> 00:28:34,775
humans in order to exert power
and gain control over the earth?
416
00:28:34,877 --> 00:28:38,846
There are those who believe the
answer is yes, and that there
417
00:28:38,848 --> 00:28:43,084
may be a greater, even
more insidious agenda.
418
00:28:43,686 --> 00:28:47,555
And the clues can be found by
examining cults that don't just
419
00:28:47,557 --> 00:28:49,258
call for the death of others,
420
00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:55,793
but require the faithful to
sacrifice themselves.
421
00:28:59,793 --> 00:29:03,871
North Africa,
the 4th Century A.D.
422
00:29:05,673 --> 00:29:09,374
Throughout the region, small
bands of religious fanatics
423
00:29:09,376 --> 00:29:13,078
wielding clubs have been
attacking random travelers on
424
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,617
the road, while
shouting praise to God.
425
00:29:18,719 --> 00:29:24,023
Their hope is to be met with
retaliation and ultimately be killed.
426
00:29:25,025 --> 00:29:28,861
These precursors to modern
suicide cults are called
427
00:29:28,863 --> 00:29:33,699
Circumcellions, and their
followers purposely seek death
428
00:29:33,701 --> 00:29:37,436
so that they may ascend and
join Jesus in the heavens.
429
00:29:38,438 --> 00:29:41,842
The Circumcellions,
interestingly didn't kill themselves
430
00:29:41,843 --> 00:29:45,343
they tried to provoke other people into
killing them so they were obnoxious.
431
00:29:45,444 --> 00:29:48,544
They would wield
the travelers on the road
432
00:29:48,545 --> 00:29:54,045
and bludgeon them with a stick
hoping to solicit a violent response
433
00:29:54,046 --> 00:29:58,246
because they believed if they died,
they would achieve ***
434
00:29:58,247 --> 00:30:04,547
And they tried so hard to be killed,
that when it didn't work
435
00:30:04,548 --> 00:30:07,248
they'd bend together and
throw themselves off cliff
436
00:30:07,249 --> 00:30:08,849
so they'd commit
mass suicide anyway.
437
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:16,150
Christian suicide sects like
the Circumcellions became so widespread,
438
00:30:16,251 --> 00:30:21,851
that they drove the church to
declare suicide a sin in 364 A.D.
439
00:30:22,452 --> 00:30:27,252
But what was it that inspired so many
early Christians to murder themselves.
440
00:30:29,548 --> 00:30:34,748
In the 2nd Century A.D., more than
200 years before the Circumcellions
441
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:40,849
another group was born called the
Gnostics, who are still around today.
442
00:30:40,850 --> 00:30:47,150
Gnostic believes that
the world we live in wasn't made by God.
443
00:30:47,151 --> 00:30:49,251
It was made by lesser beings.
444
00:30:50,652 --> 00:30:55,251
The "Archons" are celestial
beings, God made them,
445
00:30:55,252 --> 00:30:59,851
but they got out of God's
control and they made Earth.
446
00:30:59,852 --> 00:31:03,852
This whole world isn't
what it seems to be.
447
00:31:03,853 --> 00:31:09,453
And if you have this knowledge,
then you can get into a higher world.
448
00:31:09,454 --> 00:31:16,654
The Archons were entities,
they came to earth to divert
449
00:31:16,755 --> 00:31:19,855
the human species
to their own ends
450
00:31:19,856 --> 00:31:25,756
Imagine a group of extraterrestrials
that fed on human misery
451
00:31:25,757 --> 00:31:30,657
they are here to this very day,
with every war, every famine
452
00:31:30,658 --> 00:31:34,958
every plague, every human
mishap, those were the Archons.
453
00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:39,259
Could it be that
some subconscious connection
454
00:31:39,260 --> 00:31:42,560
to an extraterrestrial
past made groups like
455
00:31:42,761 --> 00:31:45,861
the Gnostics and the
Circumcellions believe in
456
00:31:45,861 --> 00:31:48,561
the existence of a world
better than their own.
457
00:31:51,962 --> 00:31:59,762
In Geneva, Switzerland, in 1984, two
men Joseph Di Mambro and Luc Jouret
458
00:31:59,763 --> 00:32:03,851
formed a secret society called
the Order of the Solar Temple.
459
00:32:03,852 --> 00:32:07,852
They preached that nirvana
could be found on a planet
460
00:32:07,853 --> 00:32:09,953
circling the star Sirius
461
00:32:09,954 --> 00:32:17,754
Luc Jouret was a kind of a
holistic healer that incorporated
462
00:32:17,755 --> 00:32:21,255
bits and pieces
of different religions
463
00:32:21,556 --> 00:32:28,256
Primarily Christianity,
the order of the Templars,
464
00:32:28,257 --> 00:32:36,457
claims about extraterrestrials, into
what became his religious construct
465
00:32:36,558 --> 00:32:39,758
While Jouret was
the figure head of the group
466
00:32:39,759 --> 00:32:44,359
it was Di Mambro's young daughter,
who they called a cosmic child,
467
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,660
that was to lead
them to the new world.
468
00:32:47,761 --> 00:32:50,851
Joseph Di Mambro
managed to convince his followers
469
00:32:50,852 --> 00:32:55,652
that his daughter, Emmanuelle,
was actually a divine being
470
00:32:55,653 --> 00:33:01,353
And his communication through
her allowed him to know
471
00:33:01,354 --> 00:33:06,554
that their future on a planet
around Sirius was absolutely set
472
00:33:06,644 --> 00:33:10,248
all they had to do in the end
was believe so strongly that
473
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:13,017
they were actually willing
to give up their lives.
474
00:33:16,821 --> 00:33:20,824
Jouret and Di Mambro
preached that the apocalypse was near,
475
00:33:20,828 --> 00:33:25,263
and to reach this new planet,
they needed to commit suicide and
476
00:33:25,265 --> 00:33:28,368
have their souls
purified through fire.
477
00:33:29,770 --> 00:33:34,406
All their bodies were
arranged in a network of chalets
478
00:33:34,408 --> 00:33:36,675
in France and Switzerland.
479
00:33:36,677 --> 00:33:38,176
And then there were timed
480
00:33:38,178 --> 00:33:42,148
explosives that set
these chalets on fire.
481
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:51,424
The bodies were
essentially cremated.
482
00:33:57,794 --> 00:34:01,867
After the last
wave of suicides in 1997,
483
00:34:01,969 --> 00:34:05,536
the death toll increased to 74 people.
484
00:34:06,808 --> 00:34:12,077
But authorities were even more
shocked when, that same year,
485
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:16,815
another fanatical group also
committed mass suicide for a
486
00:34:16,817 --> 00:34:20,385
similar purpose-- Heaven's Gate.
487
00:34:20,387 --> 00:34:24,089
When the suicides
occurred of Heaven's Gate, it
488
00:34:24,091 --> 00:34:28,360
was initially believed that this
was just one more installment of
489
00:34:28,362 --> 00:34:29,628
the Solar Temple.
490
00:34:29,830 --> 00:34:34,299
It wasn't until later that
reports established that this
491
00:34:34,301 --> 00:34:36,336
was another cult entirely.
492
00:34:37,638 --> 00:34:41,473
In the late 1980s,
at the same time Heaven's Gate
493
00:34:41,475 --> 00:34:44,843
and the Order of the Solar
Temple were gaining followers,
494
00:34:44,845 --> 00:34:49,748
yet another cult was formed in
Uganda called the Movement for
495
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:52,952
the Restoration of the
Ten Commandments of God.
496
00:34:54,154 --> 00:34:58,390
Their leader, Joseph Kibwetere,
claimed he was in direct
497
00:34:58,392 --> 00:34:59,958
communication with the Virgin
498
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,893
Mary through electronics in his home.
499
00:35:03,430 --> 00:35:06,231
The way that the
Virgin Mary was talking through
500
00:35:06,233 --> 00:35:09,701
telephones, through the
television, bears eerie
501
00:35:09,703 --> 00:35:13,872
similarities with the way a lot
of extraterrestrial-based cults
502
00:35:13,874 --> 00:35:18,076
claim to actually be getting
communications from UFOs.
503
00:35:18,078 --> 00:35:19,711
Kibwetere predicted
504
00:35:19,713 --> 00:35:23,883
the world would end on
December 31st, 1999.
505
00:35:23,884 --> 00:35:27,886
But when the date passed without
incident, he decided to bring
506
00:35:27,888 --> 00:35:31,121
about the end of the world himself.
507
00:35:31,258 --> 00:35:33,258
He poisoned them.
508
00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:36,060
He threw their bodies down wells.
509
00:35:36,063 --> 00:35:38,597
Finally, more than 500 were
510
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:44,366
locked within a wooden church
building that was set on fire.
511
00:35:53,905 --> 00:35:58,750
In the end, more than 750
bodies were recovered.
512
00:35:58,952 --> 00:36:03,854
It was probably the most horrific
cult tragedy in modern history.
513
00:36:05,959 --> 00:36:08,392
Three separate cults...
514
00:36:10,297 --> 00:36:15,966
all committing mass suicide or
murder within a five-year period.
515
00:36:16,069 --> 00:36:19,337
Over 1,000 dead.
516
00:36:19,339 --> 00:36:24,309
And all three cults believed
they had received messages from
517
00:36:24,311 --> 00:36:26,211
otherworldly beings.
518
00:36:26,613 --> 00:36:29,981
Messages that convinced them
that their deaths would
519
00:36:29,983 --> 00:36:33,318
transport them into a
better life in the heavens.
520
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,353
Coincidence?
521
00:36:35,355 --> 00:36:39,424
Or might these cult members
really have been the recipients
522
00:36:39,426 --> 00:36:43,628
of some sort of bizarre
extraterrestrial communication?
523
00:36:44,330 --> 00:36:47,766
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe that such an incredible
524
00:36:47,768 --> 00:36:49,701
notion is possible.
525
00:36:49,903 --> 00:36:55,970
And that the the evidence may be
found inside the human brain.
526
00:37:01,828 --> 00:37:07,350
Tokyo, Japan.
March 20th, 1995.
527
00:37:08,852 --> 00:37:13,656
Members of the doomsday cult
Aum Shinrikyo-- or the Supreme
528
00:37:13,658 --> 00:37:17,826
Truth Sect-- place packages
filled with a deadly sarin nerve
529
00:37:17,828 --> 00:37:22,731
agent on five different trains,
all racing into the heart of the
530
00:37:22,733 --> 00:37:24,434
Tokyo underground.
531
00:37:25,736 --> 00:37:29,305
Cult members puncture the
sarin-laced packages with
532
00:37:29,307 --> 00:37:30,841
sharpened umbrella tips...
533
00:37:32,843 --> 00:37:37,379
and their leader's apocalyptic
vision nearly comes true when
534
00:37:37,381 --> 00:37:41,485
cries for help start to
echo throughout the subway.
535
00:37:43,387 --> 00:37:49,120
This attack killed 13 people
and caused great injury to 50 more
536
00:37:49,127 --> 00:37:52,296
and temporary blindness *** effects
to more than 1,000 people.
537
00:37:56,464 --> 00:38:01,764
After an exhausted
investigation, it was determined
538
00:38:01,965 --> 00:38:05,565
that the attacks were carefully
and single-handed orchestrated
539
00:38:05,566 --> 00:38:09,966
by Aum Shinrikyo's cult
leader Shoko Asahara.
540
00:38:09,967 --> 00:38:13,767
He had visions
about the end of the world
541
00:38:13,768 --> 00:38:17,768
and he decided that he would
put the script together
542
00:38:17,769 --> 00:38:21,369
and he would heist something
out to the end of the world.
543
00:38:22,370 --> 00:38:27,570
And he was a leader of a cult
that was responsible for perhaps
544
00:38:27,571 --> 00:38:31,371
the most heinous terrorist
attack in Japanese history.
545
00:38:34,167 --> 00:38:37,706
When Japanese officials
raided Aum Shinrikyo's
546
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:41,043
research and development
facility after the subway
547
00:38:41,045 --> 00:38:45,881
attack, they found explosives,
a military helicopter,
548
00:38:45,883 --> 00:38:49,652
weapons-grade strains of
anthrax and Ebola virus.
549
00:38:50,354 --> 00:38:51,987
But the strangest item they
550
00:38:51,989 --> 00:38:55,356
seized may also have
been the most deadly:
551
00:38:56,558 --> 00:38:58,593
a mind control device.
552
00:38:58,963 --> 00:39:01,964
Asahara convinced his
followers to wear a type of
553
00:39:01,966 --> 00:39:03,866
helmet called a PSI helmet.
554
00:39:03,868 --> 00:39:06,802
This stood for "Perfect
Salvation lnitiation."
555
00:39:06,804 --> 00:39:10,437
This helmet supposedly would
actually connect electromagnetic
556
00:39:10,509 --> 00:39:14,009
leads to his brain waves and
transmit information and thought
557
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:15,610
directly to his followers.
558
00:39:16,711 --> 00:39:20,549
Is it possible that
electrical or magnetic impulses
559
00:39:20,551 --> 00:39:24,086
can influence something that
simulates the feeling of
560
00:39:24,088 --> 00:39:26,990
spiritual experience
in the human brain?
561
00:39:28,192 --> 00:39:32,094
According to findings by
Canadian neuroscience researcher
562
00:39:32,096 --> 00:39:34,163
and university professor Dr.
563
00:39:34,165 --> 00:39:38,901
Michael Persinger, magnetic
fields can, in fact, affect the
564
00:39:38,903 --> 00:39:41,336
brain's temporal lobe.
565
00:39:41,338 --> 00:39:44,873
And he claims to have proven it
with experiments involving a
566
00:39:44,875 --> 00:39:47,642
device he calls "The God Helmet".
567
00:39:48,179 --> 00:39:50,813
Persinger's God
Helmet is one of the most
568
00:39:50,815 --> 00:39:52,748
interesting new developments in
569
00:39:52,750 --> 00:39:55,083
neuroscience and the
study of neuroscience.
570
00:39:55,453 --> 00:39:59,555
By actually inducing fluctuating
magnetic fields in the human
571
00:39:59,557 --> 00:40:04,093
brain, these fluctuating
magnetic fields have been shown
572
00:40:04,095 --> 00:40:07,563
in many, many cases to give
people what can only be called
573
00:40:07,565 --> 00:40:08,764
a religious experience.
574
00:40:09,366 --> 00:40:12,500
Some have very shamanistic experiences.
575
00:40:12,636 --> 00:40:16,205
Some have experiences which
absolutely mirror alien
576
00:40:16,207 --> 00:40:18,040
abduction or alien contact.
577
00:40:18,642 --> 00:40:21,377
It has left some people
very, very changed.
578
00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:25,481
If the God Helmet
can induce spiritual or
579
00:40:25,483 --> 00:40:30,285
otherworldy experiences, could
more advanced alien technology
580
00:40:30,287 --> 00:40:33,692
have influenced mankind
in similar ways?
581
00:40:36,494 --> 00:40:42,397
In 2005, geneticist Dr. Dean
Hamer published the results
582
00:40:42,399 --> 00:40:46,101
of his experiments testing
whether or not human beings are
583
00:40:46,103 --> 00:40:48,772
hardwired to believe in God.
584
00:40:50,474 --> 00:40:55,010
After collecting DNA samples
and conducting a series of
585
00:40:55,012 --> 00:40:59,581
psychological tests on 2,000
people, Hamer examined the
586
00:40:59,583 --> 00:41:03,253
correlation between human
genes and spirituality.
587
00:41:04,055 --> 00:41:07,690
We found one particular
gene that seemed to match up.
588
00:41:07,792 --> 00:41:09,725
That gene is called VMAT2,
589
00:41:09,727 --> 00:41:13,326
which stands for vesicular
mono amine transporter 2
590
00:41:13,327 --> 00:41:16,227
but for handiness we
just call it the "God gene".
591
00:41:17,427 --> 00:41:20,927
Some people see these ***
very straight forward ideas about
592
00:41:20,928 --> 00:41:25,128
an evolution benefit or being
capable of believing in God
593
00:41:25,129 --> 00:41:29,329
as saying this may be a sign of
alien genetic manipulation
594
00:41:31,330 --> 00:41:36,629
Might extraterrestrial beings,
really have exploited mankind's genetic
595
00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:41,530
and biological inclination to believe
in the existence of a higher power.
596
00:41:43,031 --> 00:41:48,431
If our DNA is made up of both
extraterrestrial and human genetics
597
00:41:48,432 --> 00:41:54,332
then we have to wonder is it possible
that an extraterrestrial race
598
00:41:54,433 --> 00:42:00,133
could influence us more because our
genetics are made up of them as well.
599
00:42:00,134 --> 00:42:03,734
If extraterrestrials
have been influencing us
600
00:42:03,735 --> 00:42:07,735
and our spirituality, and
into creating these cults,
601
00:42:07,736 --> 00:42:12,625
it would seem that extraterrestrials
that have genetically manipulated us
602
00:42:12,626 --> 00:42:18,426
have wanted us to have special
brains that would be receptive
603
00:42:18,427 --> 00:42:19,727
to certain influences.
604
00:42:20,628 --> 00:42:24,499
The fact that we
accept gods as mainstream and
605
00:42:24,501 --> 00:42:27,769
think of aliens as just kind
of like a weird idea is just
606
00:42:27,771 --> 00:42:30,639
because of where we are
at this point in time.
607
00:42:30,641 --> 00:42:32,908
And, you know, a thousand years
from now it may be just the
608
00:42:32,910 --> 00:42:35,177
opposite, and everyone will be
going like, "Of course, you
609
00:42:35,179 --> 00:42:36,245
believe in aliens, but you don't
610
00:42:36,247 --> 00:42:38,046
believe in that God stuff, do you?"
611
00:42:41,552 --> 00:42:45,087
Might aliens have
used some sort of electrical or
612
00:42:45,089 --> 00:42:48,991
biomagnetic technology to
compel cult leaders like
613
00:42:48,993 --> 00:42:54,596
Marshall Applewhite, Shoko
Asahara, and their followers,
614
00:42:54,598 --> 00:43:00,736
to perform horrific and otherwise
insane acts of murder,
615
00:43:00,738 --> 00:43:05,374
torture and mass suicide?
616
00:43:05,376 --> 00:43:09,645
Did these men and women-- as did
millions of others, going back
617
00:43:09,647 --> 00:43:12,247
centuries-- merely come into
618
00:43:12,249 --> 00:43:15,149
contact with a force
they didn't understand,
619
00:43:16,451 --> 00:43:18,952
a force they misinterpreted?
620
00:43:19,322 --> 00:43:21,890
Many modern day
cults that are led by, let's
621
00:43:21,892 --> 00:43:25,727
say, madmen could possibly be
misinterpreting events that have
622
00:43:25,729 --> 00:43:29,197
taken place throughout history,
whether it be things that relate
623
00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:33,568
to the Bible or astronomical
things happening in the heavens.
624
00:43:33,570 --> 00:43:37,105
But whether cult
leaders are misinterpreting
625
00:43:37,107 --> 00:43:41,576
extraterrestrial messages or are
being directly guided by them,
626
00:43:41,578 --> 00:43:45,647
might we someday discover that
the other worlds they preach
627
00:43:45,649 --> 00:43:48,217
about actually exist?
628
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,756
And is their ultimate goal
to help us or to harm us?
