Review of Ancient Aliens S07E08 "Aliens Among Us"

11/14/2014

46 Comments

 
Each week I struggle to come up with a way to review Ancient Aliens that will be somehow entertaining enough to justify struggling through another iteration of the same old material. I must confess that I am beginning to run out of ways to say the same thing in different ways. This trouble extends to Ancient Aliens itself, a show that is fading into televisual wallpaper. Last week, for example, when the program discussed an alleged Sphinx on Mars, I recalled the photograph from its appearance on Unsealed: Alien Files but had completely forgotten that it has also appeared on an earlier episode of Ancient Aliens since every segment of the show has slowly blended into one long, shapeless blob.
Fortunately, Ancient Aliens S07E08 “Aliens Among Us” has a slight novelty factor in that it seems to be drawing on the recent controversy over NSA spying to speculate about whether extraterrestrials are monitoring humanity’s every move via closed circuit cameras and spyware. We open with a recap of last year’s Edward Snowden controversy, with Mark Dice, an Illuminati conspiracy theorist (and author of Illuminati in the Music Industry), presenting himself as a neutral analyst of government secrets. Giorgio Tsoukalos expresses bafflement that computers can help us learn “anything you want about a person.” The narrator suggests that aliens invented the internet to monitor us, and Tsoukalos states that extraterrestrials provide the tools to inspire ancient humans to develop the technology that would make technological spying possible.

So because spies watch us, naturally we have to talk about the Watchers, from the Book of Daniel and the Book of Enoch, where in the latter they are associated with fallen angels. Outside of dedicated Biblical scholars specializing in the Enochian literature, I doubt there are many who have read more of the many and varied accounts of the Watchers across the ancient texts than I. I can then state definitively that the idiots on this show know nothing about this. The narrator claims that the Watchers took Enoch up to space in a fiery chariot, but this is wrong. In Book 3 (70:1-4), it is angels who send the chariot and take Enoch to the Lord of Spirits. The Watchers are completely separate.

A potted history of the Watchers’ use of forbidden knowledge (6-8) is given, followed by a best-of compilation of the many culture heroes and gods like Viracocha and Osiris the show has in past episodes likened to the Watchers, to which they add the Anunnaki. It is, dare we say, the definition of culture hero for the culture hero to bring culture, but the Anunnaki did not bring culture to Mesopotamia. According to Berossus (Eusebius, Chronicle 7-26; Syncellus, Chronicle 28-30), the Babylonian culture hero figure was Oannes, the fish-man, who (with his other fishy friends) in turn grew out of the culture hero myth of the Seven Sages. According to Amar Annus in “On the Origin of the Watchers: A Comparative Study of the Antediluvian Wisdom in Mesopotamian and Jewish Traditions,” Journal of the Study of the Pseudepigrapha 19 (2010), the depiction of the Watchers in Enoch is in fact a Jewish reaction against Mesopotamian ideas about the Seven Sages—not the Anunnaki.

After the break, we discuss nuclear security issues from the Nuclear Security Summit at The Hague earlier this year, whose triangular logo raises horrified reactions about the Illuminati. Dice returns to discuss the Illuminati, but the show prefers to allege that the Illuminati are an offspring of the Knights Templar (!), who in turn were in communication with the Watchers, which the Knights’ enemies mistook for demons. But even this is merely a revisiting of claims from earlier episodes. However, it’s worth noting that “experts” here like Kathleen McGowan Coppens and Jason Martell take the Catholic Church’s anti-Templar propaganda at face value, which puts them at odds with Holy Bloodline theorists as well as mainstream scholars. The show claims that the Templars’ key symbol was an eye, which it likens to the Freemasons’ eye and to the Watchers. I can’t find any support for the idea that the Templars used the eye as a symbol.

The show claims that the Book of Enoch does not “tell of the Watchers’ departure.” This is false. The Book of Enoch clearly states that the Watchers were to be imprisoned for their sins (54:4): “These (chains) are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded.” But the Ancient Aliens crew believes that the Watchers survived the Great Flood (which, of course, they totally believe really happened) and are menacing us today. Here they confuse the Watchers with their offspring, the Nephilim, whose spirits are, in the apocalyptic and apocryphal literature, alleged to have been allowed to have a ghostly existence on earth after the flood (1 Enoch 15-16; Jubilees 10:11). The Watchers, as Jude 6 informs us, are bound in chains forever (cf. 1 Enoch 10:12).

After the break we revisit a famous underground city in Turkey, profiled many times, which David Childress and others claim is a refuge where the Watchers hid out during the Great Flood. We also revisit the caves in Nepal that are high up in the mountains. David Wilcock says that they were built by people with “flying craft.” We revisit, too, the Ant People of the Hopi, a culture hero story so frequently made on the show that Codes and Conspiracies asked me about it when I talked to them back in September. All of this has been covered so many times that it becomes the kind of televisual wallpaper I complained about before. I seriously wonder if this show is made up of rerun segments, but I know that is not true since different talking heads have been swapped out to make the same points, often verbatim. Instead, I’ll just paste in my comments from S04E09, which are point-for-point on point:
[The show] incorrectly claims the Sumerian Annunaki derive from Hopi words meaning “ant (anu) friends (naki),” a derivation not supported by any modern linguist. This is more Sitchin nonsense. The word actually means “those of royal blood” and has no relationship to Hopi words from 4,000 years later. One might as well relate them to “anno” and “gnocchi,” and claim they are New Year’s pastas from Italy. “Annunaki” is a conventional transliteration; the Sumerian term can also be transcribed as Anunna and Anunnaku, which are obviously different than the Hopi words.
After the break, we travel to Muscat, Oman, to visit a cave to talk about the Djinn, the supernatural creatures of Islamic mythology. Because they can defy Allah’s will, the narrator tells us that they must be akin to the Watchers, who rebelled against God. Here they are on slightly more solid ground, since traditionally Iblis, who is identified with the Watcher Azazel, is often called a Djinn. All the same, it’s pretty clear that the Djinn were incorporated into Islamic lore from pre-Islamic cultures where they were gods.

But why deal with such complexities when we can argue instead that the Watchers drive flying saucers and are still abducting people today? Betty Andreasson Luca, a well-known “Christian abductee,” appears next to discuss her encounter with Grey aliens who dress like late-period Michael Jackson. She explains that the aliens who abducted her in a dream state were angels, and she calls them Watchers, a term I am all but sure she derived from the Book of Daniel (4:13): “I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven.”

After the break, we’re still on the Betty Andreasson Luca case, and Linda Moulton Howe explains that abductees often report that aliens “know everything about them,” making them Watchers. This then leads into a review of the Betty and Barney Hill case, about which I have said about all I need to say in my article about the origins of that abduction in 1964 science fiction television series. Ancient astronaut theorist William Henry believes that he knows the mind and soul of these Watchers and knows their real purpose. They are “tweaking” humanity to “climb the evolutionary ladder.” Shockingly, though, the narrator allows that the Watchers who “survived the Great Flood” might not be responsible for alien abductions. Moulton Howe believes that there are different groups of Watchers, and the kidnapping kind are from the home world and are coming to check up on the Watchers who survived the Flood. Now since the canonical book of Jude tells us that the Watchers are not free and active in the world, I’m at a loss to figure out where they are getting these ideas except that they are (a) confusing the Watchers and their giant offspring (as given in Enoch) or (b) making things up to fill time. Either way, they don’t seem to have read the texts they pretend to explicate, unless they mean for us to take literally only selected verses that happen to match their mystery-mongering obsession with UFOs and abductions.

After the final break, the show discusses Apple’s iCloud service, including the 2014 hacking of the cloud to steal celebrities’ nude photos. Dice comes back a third time to explain why the cloud should be viewed with suspicion since individuals surrender control of their data to mega-corporations. The narrator expresses concern over privacy and then asks if the aliens want to render us helpless and designed the cloud to steal all our data. This is confusing to me because Ancient Aliens has repeatedly claimed that the aliens have access to the Akashic Record, a supernatural iCloud that supposedly records all of the information in the universe. What do they need the Apple iCloud for? 

David Childress shows up to state that the beneficent aliens are “nurturing” “certain civilizations” (i.e. America) that conform to their technological goals, and then Linda Moulton Howe explains that the apparently bad Watchers are in league with world leaders (and here the show illustrates this with Barack Obama) and may want to do us harm. So: America = Good, but Obama = Bad. It’s as if, Moulton-Howe says, “there are political parties” among the aliens in outer space. And the space Republicans and space Democrats are going to war over how many social welfare vs. weapons programs the aliens should be spending their space dollars on. If war is politics by other means, ancient astronautics is social anxiety projected into space fantasy.

Fortunately, Ancient Aliens S07E08 “Aliens Among Us” has a slight novelty factor in that it seems to be drawing on the recent controversy over NSA spying to speculate about whether extraterrestrials are monitoring humanity’s every move via closed circuit cameras and spyware. We open with a recap of last year’s Edward Snowden controversy, with Mark Dice, an Illuminati conspiracy theorist (and author of Illuminati in the Music Industry), presenting himself as a neutral analyst of government secrets. Giorgio Tsoukalos expresses bafflement that computers can help us learn “anything you want about a person.” The narrator suggests that aliens invented the internet to monitor us, and Tsoukalos states that extraterrestrials provide the tools to inspire ancient humans to develop the technology that would make technological spying possible.

Some else mentioned the TV show Earth Final Conflict. Well I will mention here a TV series from 1998-2001 called First Wave in which evil extraterrestrials were using a vast array of modern technological devices to spy on and manipulate humanity.

"According to Amar Annus... the depiction of the Watchers in Enoch is in fact a Jewish reaction against Mesopotamian ideas about the Seven Sages—not the Anunnaki."

I think this oversimplifies the position of Annus. The Meopotamian tradition is itself unequivocal - sometimes, it represents the Sages (apkallus) as malevolent and as punished by the Flood. It's less "reaction against" than "adaption of".

"since the canonical book of Jude tells us that the Watchers are not free and active in the world, I’m at a loss to figure out where they are getting these ideas..."

Not only does Daniel imply that at least some Watchers are still in Heaven, but the Enochian tradition itself does not imply that *all* the Watchers rebelled and we subsequently imprisoned. If "Watchers" are a kind of angels or a descriptive name for all the angels, then there is nothing incoherent or even exotic about their talk of groups of Watchers. After all, there is a long tradition of identifying the Watchers with Satan's host.

Interesting....
But those Satanic "Hosts" would be somewhat benign, because according to the tradition your using as a reference; THAT SATAN is really "Sataniel" or Shemyaza (excuse my spelling). Who is in so many words- Man's friend, A teacher who helps in the positivity or betterment of society.. According to Enochian traditions.
Because it wasn't until the late Ptolemaic era when Polytheism became "Black & white" proverbially speaking "God's became good an evil. You should have noted that.

I dunno if you caught this, Jason, but I believe William Henry said that the underground city in Turkey was said to have been built "9,000 years ago, right before the last Ice Age".

I don't know if he meant "9,000 BC" and "right after", or if he's working in some creationist model or another. Either way, solid laugh.

It all comes back to if you can tell someone enough times a bold lie, it will appear to be true. They are spewing fictional stories and those belong on a fiction network where it is clearly defined as made up.

Why must the shows pretend that somehow aliens must be behind simple spying networks and complicated internet structures, and images in sand? They feel that it makes them seem more important somehow, and surely the hosts know the fix is in, and there is nothing 'historical' or 'archeological' to anything they're saying.

They might as well be summarizing old reruns of Twilight Zone, Buck Rodgers, Flash Gordon, Star Trek, and any number of other programs.

They seem to think aliens would come here just to visit them, and make them celebrities, when any self respecting alien from another planet is not coming here to spy on us, read our internet porn, or talk to or probe people in their sleep.

The NSA thing is not an alien conspiracy. It's just the government messing with us.

Must things be supernatural or alien to make sense to these people? I think though they know what they're doing, hosting these shows. They know they're full of it. They get paid. It's a job. They go home. Really they shouldn't freak about critics either, if they know it so well.

The likelihood of aliens is thus, they're out there but cautiously watching. They've never directly landed or interfered. They haven't changed our history. Why do that? They're just out there making notes and wondering if we'll destroy ourselves or not, and if not, when we'll get off our lazy butts and come look for them in space.

Then again, some scientists warn that it might not be such a good thing meeting ET. I'd think they'd be so much beyond us that they wouldn't be out to harm us. We'd do that to ourselves.

But there is something to the internet being capable of contacting them, out there, someday. It won't be like Contact though. It will probably be more strange, because we've been sending us signals for years. We're going to get this spam first. Ha. :)

Well, in Enoch it certainly states what was intended for the Watchers, but as for it actually happening, wouldn't that be open to debate? And are you also poking fun for a belief in a Great Flood, when even Mike Heiser will allow some legitimacy for the idea based on its occurrence in myths from numerous separate cultures (http://ancientaliensdebunked.com/mike-heiser/).

I hope your right. "Watchers" to me was always analogous with "the TITANS" from the Greek "Theogony" by Hesiod I believe. It's funny AA didn't mention the blatant correlation's that can easily be made when comparing the two.

I thought it was an interesting episode All & All, kind of spooky but still sloppy. It sure got a lot of people talking because a lot of old AA was synthesized with some (some-what modern) Alien abduction stories. Where AGAIN they only focus on "the Greys" an totally ignore the 7ft Aryan/ Nordic (Viking God) type's who were prominently featured in Beatty Andereason Luca's abduction drawing's. As soon as they were shown I believe the narrator mention's "other Watcher's" who watch "the Watchers" AND THEY STILL DIDN"T MENTION THE 7FT ARYAN type aliens who look as if they are very much likely in charge of these automaton Grey's. Needles to say this episode could of been very interesting if they let us break it down and rearrange everything prior to it being aired as a final product.

An people can kid around all they want, proverbially speaking. But I Promise everyone their is A group of something very ET. like (whether Interplanetary or what) that is watching over this planet......................... Theirs more truth to American astronaut UFO/Alien stories and Russian cosmonaut UFO/Alien stories than we really even want to know. And I'll leave it- as that..
