Giorgio Tsoukalos Begins Promotional Push for Upcoming Alien Con

6/14/2019

Last week, History’s sister network Viceland renewed Action Bronson’s Traveling the Stars, in which Bronson and his friends smoke marijuana and watch reruns of Ancient Aliens. This coming week is the semiannual History Channel Alien Con, the fan convention for Ancient Aliens and extraterrestrial/science fiction pop culture. As part of the promotional rollout for the convention, the History Channel arranged for Giorgio Tsoukalos to do interviews with California TV stations from a History Channel studio in Los Angeles. This is a step up for Tsoukalos, who last year had to physically schlepp out to local news studios. From History’s cushy digs, he spoke yesterday with Simone de Alba of Fox 40 in Sacramento.

Tsoukalos crowed about the way Ancient Aliens “struck a cord” with audiences worldwide, and de Alba told Tsoukalos that she has watched the show over its entire ten-year run. That was depressing enough—even I haven’t watched all ten years of the show!—and de Alba could be heard cooing and saying “Yes!” under her breath as Tsoukalos spoke.

De Alba asked Tsoukalos how he felt after reflecting on his ten-year Ancient Aliens journey:

It’s been incredible, and sometimes I really have to pinch myself that I get to do what I do. I feel incredibly lucky, and I’m so fortunate that through Ancient Aliens I’ve gotten to meet so many people who have shared their stories with me, and if only one percent of these stories are indeed correct, then I can tell you this: We are not alone.

I’d consider myself lucky, too, if I never had to do a day of real work and a mega-corporation showered me with cash, vacations, and luxuries. Tsoukalos has never written a book, for example, nor does he have a single original idea to his name, having borrowed his major claims from his mentor, Erich von Däniken.

Tsoukalos repeated his usual joke about styling his hair with an electric socket.

A gushing De Alba concluded by declaring Tsoukalso to be “just a star,” and somewhere Walter Cronkite rolled over in his grave before a History Channel producer declared it evidence of Plan 9 from Outer Space being put into action.

Because fans have put him into his position.
Like any other guru who relies exclusively on support

Action Jackson has the right idea for watching the show. Someone could make a fortune with the Marihuana Concession at Alien Con.

I hope your move is going OK.

Hi Jason -

It is a lot more fun to speculate about ancient aliens:

1/ The evidence is clear that Trump Jr. knew he was speaking to agents of three foreign governments: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel. George Birnbaum, Netanyahu's former chief of staff, had sent the Israeli to the Trumps, first using Gates as his intermediary.

2/ The Israeli, sent to the Trumps by one of Netanyahu's top advisers, was offering the Trumps an illegal domestic disinformation campaign to use on American citizens pre-election that was identical to what the Russians were doing. He wanted the Saudis and Emiratis to pay for it.

3/ Major media reporting confirms that the Israeli (Zamel) asked the Saudi and Emirati emissary (Nader) to pay for the campaign on behalf of the Trumps, and that the Saudis and Emiratis did so, and that Zamel subsequently executed the illegal pre-election campaign for the Trumps.

4/ Trump Jr. then went on to lie to Congress (a federal crime) about whether the meeting had occurred, whether he had accepted foreign aid at the meeting, and whether anyone else on the campaign knew of any such meeting (which Stephen Miller certainly did, as he had attended it).

5/ Stephen Miller then lied to Hope Hicks about whether he had met with any foreign nationals during the campaign—and did so to ensure Hope Hicks would go out and lie to America on that very topic. When law enforcement contacted Zamel's company, it closed its doors *immediately*.

6/ The Saudi and Emirati emissary who Trump Jr. and Miller met with on August 3 thereafter became a top campaign adviser—in secret—for the rest of the general election, meeting regularly with Bannon, Flynn, and Kushner. He was one of *many* Trump campaign foreign-agent advisers.

7/ Kushner was regularly advised by Yousef al-Otaiba, the Emirati ambassador to the United States, as well as Soviet-born Putin "friend" (Putin's words) Dimitri Simes. Kushner hid that he was receiving advice—and negotiating with—foreigners throughout the campaign, as did Don Jr.

8/ Trump advisers were in contact with foreigners—seeking their help—*throughout the 2016 campaign*, whether it was Tom Barrack being in regular contact with al-Otaiba, Stone being in contact with Guccifer 2.0, Nader being in contact with the Kremlin—the list is almost endless.

9/ The one element of the crime of illegal solicitation of foreign campaign donations Mueller struggled to establish was intent—yet *every one of these contacts was carefully and systematically concealed*, and concealment is what's usually used to establish intent in these cases.

10/ Trump Jr. was *so* certain he was committing a federal crime when he met with Kremlin agents in Trump Tower on June 9, 2016 that the Mueller Report establishes that he *lied to top campaign officials* about the meeting and—so *he* claims—concealed it from his dad for a year.

11/ Kushner and Trump built a huge public-facing NatSec team that they carefully photographed for the press—a group comprising twelve people, plus one abroad at the time and missing from the photo—yet that group had *nothing to do with who was advising them on national security*.

12/ The Trump campaign so ardently concealed the foreign aid they received during the campaign that the campaign concealed... *its entire national security advising team*. Simes was never revealed; al-Otaiba was never revealed; Nader was never revealed; Prince was never revealed.

13/ Even Flynn—a Turkish agent at the time—was carefully left off *every single national security advising team Trump compiled pre-election*, with Trump revealing his key role in his campaign only *after* Election Day. The *whole Trump campaign* was brought to you by foreign aid.

14/ So now we're going to have a dainty conversation on whether Trump "would" accept aid from foreign nationals during a campaign, as if that wasn't *the goddamn founding principle* of his 2016 presidential campaign, based on both Mueller Report info and counterintelligence info.

15/ One of Trump's top NatSec advisers pre-election was Erik Prince, who was—get this—*simultaneously the NatSec adviser to the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi*, the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates. Trump NatSec adviser Nader *went to the Kremlin pre-election*—*repeatedly*.

16/ Trump NatSec adviser Flynn met with the Russian ambassador at his personal residence during the campaign; then dined with Putin during the campaign; then bragged to friends that he was regularly speaking to the Russian ambassador face-to-face, by text, and phone pre-election.

17/ Another man who advised Trump on foreign policy, Barrack, was writing public editorials pre-election parroting Emirati talking points so that certain parties in the Middle East would be sure Trump was on their "team"—doing so *while in touch with the Emiratis the whole time*.

18/ In the history of Amer

Tiresome and wildly off-topic.

what does this have to do with tsoukalos who does his hair like the Centauri empire male representatives at least ruling class ones in Babylon 5 which, considering their genocidal behavior towards some other group, might say something about his own prefered secret ideals for the future of mankind and his status and role.

"styling his hair with an electric socket"

Have you ever watched the movie, "There's Something About Mary"? Could be an alternative hypothesis.

My buddy thinks GT received too many "swirlies" from his high school girls volleyball team. Had it been football, someone would have shaved his head.
