Military Encounters with Extraterrestrials: The Real War of the Worlds
Frank Joseph | 320 pages | Bear & Company | Sept. 11, 2018 | ISBN: 9781591433248 | $20

​At some point, a reckoning is going to come. I don’t know when, and I don’t know how, but this situation cannot continue. Every day, we watch as darkness overwhelms our country, and much of the West, a sort of self-created madness where one specific group—conservative whites—are increasingly willing to blow up everything America and the West ever stood for in service of the politics of ethno-nationalism and fear. This happens regularly in America, and the story usually plays out the same way. But while we wait for the better angels of our nature to undo some of the damage, I cannot help but think that the people who give aid and comfort to the worst among us must pay a price for their contribution to the wounds they inflict on our society. That is why I cannot but think that Inner Traditions International, the parent company of Bear & Company, needs to be dissolved.

​I have tried being amused by their enormous output of ridiculous New Age and fringe history sludge, but bemused resignation isn’t the right reaction when for the second time this year they publish another book by Frank Joseph, the former head of the National Socialist White People’s Party, a neo-Nazi, and a convicted child rapist. We live in a world where Nazis march through the streets and members of the current presidential administration give aid and comfort to them and their views. It is neither funny nor cute that a white supremacist should put out book after book to propagandize under the cover of “aliens” repugnant Nazi views.
 
It is worth stating again and explicitly and as loudly as possible: INNER TRADITIONS PUBLISHES BOOKS BY AN ACTUAL NAZI. It doesn’t matter that Joseph got kicked out of the Nazi party, since he has spent the past three decades subtly infusing his fringe history books with Nazi ideologies about lost white races, the inferiority of minorities, and other touchstones of the white nationalist movement.
 
The book under consideration today is Military Encounters with Extraterrestrials: The Real War of the Worlds, due out later this year. The book was originally supposed to be published by Red Wheel / Weiser in 2017 under the title The Real War of the Worlds, but Red Wheel declined to release the title for reasons I have not been able to discover. The current version comes with a glowing endorsement from John Brandenburg, a talking head from the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens. Brandenburg wrote a preface praising Joseph’s work and Joseph returned the favor by devoting part of the opening chapter to praising Brandenburg’s ludicrous claim that prehistoric Martians engaged in nuclear warfare. Brandenburg’s endorsement of Frank Joseph should have him banned from the History Channel for life, but sadly, it will not. Everyone will smile and nod and pretend that it’s perfectly OK to praise Nazis, and then go back to making Hitler fetish history porn programs.
 
But let us repeat this carefully: The History Channel is OK with the people it pays to appear on its air praising Nazis.
 
As for the book itself, it is a compendium of hearsay torn from the pages of tabloids. To give but one example: Joseph quotes Peter Waitzrik, who supposedly fought alongside the Red Baron in World War I, as claiming that the Baron shot down a UFO and that space aliens ran out. Even Joseph admits that the story doesn’t match the historical record, but he tries to rehabilitate it anyway, despite the fact that it was first published in the Weekly World News on August 11, 1998 (and later reprinted in 1999). “His appearance in a notorious American tabloid was enough for most historians to dismiss him as the perpetrator of an obvious hoax,” Joseph writes. But he said that Waitzrik only turned to the Weekly World News when no other paper would touch his story.
 
Now, as it happens, I went to college with the son of one of the executives in charge of American Media, Inc., the parent company of the Weekly World News, in those days, and I got to see how the sausage was made back during the time when the tabloid still pretended its stories were true. (The Weekly World News admitted its stories were fake in 2004.) As I’ve mentioned before, I was sworn to secrecy not to reveal the truth about Weekly World News stories, but that expired when the tabloid admitted their own pieces were fake. The fact of the matter is that nobody working there much cared what they wrote. They would make up stories from whole cloth as needed, and they’d massage bizarre claims into humorous articles without doing much to check facts. Even though Waitzrik might have been a real person, the story from the Weekly World News is probably, at best, a “creative” interpretation of a very old man’s fantastical tall tales.
 
There is little to say about the motley collection of shopworn UFO anecdotes that Joseph assembles. Most are familiar to those who have read any of the innumerable earlier works on military UFO encounters. Virtually none have any evidence to support the idea that they represent encounters with actual space aliens. Most are taken directly from earlier books. Virtually nothing is original. And, by the way, by “military,” he largely means the U.S. military, despite there being something like nearly 200 other militaries in the world.
 
One chapter reviews a staple of Ancient Aliens, the allegation that the Admiral Byrd and the U.S. military engaged with UFOs in Antarctica. I’ve mentioned before that the claim comes from F. Amadeo Giannini's book The Worlds Beyond the Poles (1957). Giannini had use part of the script of the action movie The Lost Horizon (1937) and presented it as a transcript of a conversation between space aliens and Admiral Byrd, though the story was first told about the North pole before being revised to the South Pole.
 
Joseph, of course, breaks from a focus on America long enough to devote a chapter to the Nazi military, and a second to the “German connection” between Nazis and space aliens. “The Axis experience with off-world vehicles was fundamentally similar to those confronted by the Allies, which lends these shared incidents some measure of credibility,” he writes. He takes some time to praise the Nazis for engaging in “exclusively an economic and scientific affair in Antarctica instead of a military one, like the United States, and he rhapsodizes over Nazi military feats and speculates about whether the Germans nobly tried to protect the world from the “truth” about space aliens at the South Pole.
 
Due to his steadfast belief in noble, selfless Nazi heroes, he draws the most ridiculous possible conclusion about Byrd’s trip to Antarctica: He was helping ex-Nazis contain evil space aliens.

From the foregoing facts, however incomplete, the most credible  possible reconstruction of events, at least in general outline, begins in 1938 or 1939 with the accidental find by German Antarctic Expedition members of a base near the coast of New Swabia built and occupied by beings from another world who possessed highly advanced flight technology. Returning with this disclosure to Hamburg, Ritscher began organizing a return trip until its cancellation by the advent of war. One year following its conclusion, the former Kriegsmarine captain arrived in Washington, D.C., to share the Deutsche Antarktische Expedition’s discovery with his prewar American colleague, Richard Byrd.
​Somebody spent too much time watching The Thing from Another World and The Thing. And how is it that nobody at Inner Traditions objected to the idea that a Nazi author is writing a book praising Nazis as scientific and humanitarian heroes?
 
As the book meanders on, Joseph makes plain his commitment to accepting the testimony of anyone who once wore a uniform, however ridiculous, and equally his refusal to conduct any original research to confirm any of the claims. Instead, he accepts basically at face value absurd claims about dead aliens at Roswell, and the hoax Majestic Twelve documents. He also managed to get Stanton Friedman to help the Nazi author to make his case. Friedman told Joseph via email that a U.S. military craft had collided with an alien craft, and that there were three different UFO crashes in New Mexico in the twelve months surrounding 1947.
 
The later chapters cover more recent encounters and are consequently more detailed, since the claimants are still alive to elaborate and because they are steeped in UFO lore and consequently fill their tales with greater detail. He includes some Canadian and Soviet material in later chapters, and a few references to the rest of the world, but he has a stubborn refusal to imagine alternative explanations beyond space aliens. At least some of the encounters described would have involved astronomical events, secret military weapons, spy planes, and even outright propaganda. What makes this book particularly strange is that Joseph’s writing is more detailed and clearer than his ancient mysteries writing. One might put it down to his fetish for the military, or that he is not really cut out to think holistically about the past, but the writing style is notably different. I hesitate to say that this is a better book—because he is a Nazi child molester, after all—but it is more engaging and better written than some of his others. Ultimately, I think that this is due to the fact that he is copying here from better books and has more detailed source material to work with, material he understands better. There is still too much Nazi fetishizing, and some projection of aliens as space Nazis. He suggests that aliens see humans as vermin who are despoiling the planet and should be eradicated: “No doubt, like good surgeons everywhere, they have already pondered prophylactic measures,” he says, apparently without irony. His solution to the “problem” of aliens is also a bit disturbing, suggesting that the United States—which he seems to view as the heir to Nazi Germany via its incorporation of Nazi scientists—should gain technological parity with aliens by shooting down their craft and reverse engineering their technology.
 
The star rating for this book represents how I would judge it if it were written by an unsullied author. It is the star rating for the book as a book. As a work by Frank Joseph, it deserves negative stars—back hole or dark matter ratings.

Here are newspaper articles about a controversy over whether or not he is Jewish -- and why the Nazis should care about such a thing within their membership I should hope is obvious. These articles also refer to him as a member of the American Nazi party, under various monikers.

Also here's an article by Jason about it:

http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/fringe-historys-frank-joseph-problem

it has some sources cited too.

What I did not find, however, is any reference to Frank Joseph denying any of this, fighting tooth and nail the designation of him as such. Nothing from Frank Joseph the author saying "folks, stop saying I'm the same Frank Joseph who was Frank Collin and is Nazi." Which is kinda what you'd expect to see if there is a case of mistaken identity.

Therefore, you should also not trust a random quote claiming to BE a source; it is YOUR laziness in refusing to go LOOK at the sources that is the problem here, not Nerd's.

In regards to the times, Roseanne got cancelled after she made a racist tweet today. That shows that some companies at least will take a stand for what is right.

I won’t complain about someone praising a Nazi though just because he or she is Nazi. To me it is more about what they are being praised for. Praising them for putting forth thinly veiled racist views is not OK. Praising them for something unrelated is fine. Heisenberg and Rommel were Nazi party members but both did thins worthy of praise

Sorry, we have plenty of fascists and nazis here who are ignorant of the fact that they fit the mold. The GOP is really unidentified and unaware Fascism, and even Nazism.

"Fascism is characterized by strong nationalism, an extreme level of authoritarianism, corporatism, militarization and hostility towards both liberalism and Marxism." To convert Fascism into Nazism, now add racial hatred and belief in the supernatural and occult.

Now let’s look at the GOP:

Strong nationalism-check—America first, everybody. We’re better than you guys and your shithole countries.
Authoritarianism—check—Those who are in charge should not be challenged. No criticism allowed. Destroy the press.
Corporatism—check—Reduce corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%. Allow oligarchs to control national elections. Collaborate with corporate leaders who kowtow to your leader.
Militarization—check—Increase the military budget at the expense of the poor and educational institutions.
Hostility toward liberalism—check—Trump retards blindly and ignorantly hating the left. Disrespect for education and proud of it.
Hostility toward Marxism—check—Nothing wrong with this, but please notice that Putin and his government are really fascists nowadays, not communists, as the Russian regime is big on all of the previous points.
To the above, I would also add complete disregard for facts and truth, but that’s characteristic of all authoritarian regimes, not just fascistic ones

Now, to add Nazism into the mix:
Racial hatred—check—Give ignorant followers their two minutes hate everyday (Fox News). Suppress the niggers and the spics.
Supernatural and Occult belief—check—Evangelists controlling many seats of congress and advocating theocratic government inroads. Mike Pence. Willingness to believe in invisible forces of the paranormal and fake history theories. Adding religious interpretations into school textbooks.

Yes, the United States is on the brink of a self-created implosion that no foreign enemy's espionage could ever achieve. Over 150 years ago, the country was torn apart by a Civil War that never really ended. The U.S. is still fighting that War of Secession under the guise of liberal vrs. conservative politics ( and all the myriad of nuanced and not-so-nuanced prejudices, fears, and ignorant rhetoric - on both sides and in between ).
Mr Frank - his surnames are so interchangeable, I prefer to use his first name only in an ironic World War II reference - typifies what I would consider apologists for the lunatic fringe. He and his ilk are less dangerous than the individuals who purport to be the representatives of government in the United States. They are the ones aiding and abetting the deconstruction and destruction of democracy in the U.S.A,
You are rapidly becoming not only an international embarrassment to your allies but the butt of sad joke to your enemies, as they tighten their stranglehold on their own people and further their causes among others.
YOU ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE !

When neither side will admit their own errors; when neither side will respect their opponents point of view; when neither side is willing to sit down and have a rational, civil debate; when neither side is willing to seek a peaceful solution, a logical compromise....then indeed we, as human beings are doomed !

I will point out, in the middle of this gloom and doomsaying, that we are not (yet) at a point of civil unrest or political self-sabotage as we were in the mid-1960s, and we managed to avoid a second Civil War then, if barely. We're in serious trouble, but there IS still some hope that we can get ourselves out of it before we're actually DOOMED.

There is a difference, Titus, between small-c "conservatism" in the tradition of Edmund Burke, or even William F.

Creating Israel was a huge mistake by the UN in the late 40s. Remember when Israel sent a letter bomb to President Truman in an attempt to assassinate him? Of course you don't.

The problem starts with "W" but the problem isn't "white" it's "war". We need to get out of all the wars we're in. That means Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria which we've invaded, Yemen, and whatever we're doing in Africa.

Jason, perhaps you should have made that distinction within the post. Instead, you designated a specific group—conservative whites—as trying to tear down America or Western civilization in the name of ethno-nationalism. There is a large number of people who are white and identify as conservative that are NOT trying to do that.

If you recognize there is a distinction between the two, you should avoid speaking in generalities that conflate them.

Only Me, there are also a large number of conservative whites who don't realize they're contributing to the problem. Most of them sit there saying either, "Well, *I* don't see it happening, so it can't really be happening" or "This will all blow over with no harm done." In both cases, they're refusing to acknowledge harm that's ALREADY been done and are turning blind and deaf to what's going on politically. It's kind of like leaving your expensive car unlocked in a high crime area of a city: it doesn't make you a thief but it sure increased the odds of your car being stolen.

To be fair, there's a number of liberals who are contributing to the problem in the same way. Funnily enough, the majority of THEM seem to be white, too.

Guess it's harder to ignore this kind of stuff when you're one of the victims instead of being just a bystander.

I'm always amazed when people want to find "and medical care and enough money to buy food and housing with and not being shot for being the wrong color should not be luxuries for anyone" to be "criminal" this way.

Dude, face it: we haven't had a pure capitalist society since the US Constitution was signed in the first place. Capitalism killed my grandfather, man, there's plenty of blood to go around...and besides, neither Mao nor Stalin were actually socialist at all, given that they did NOT share equally in all things with the rest of their people. They're dictatorships, pure and simple, with a thin veneer of "socialism" to gloss over the bloodstains.

Pure capitalism doesn't work any better than pure socialism. For some reason, though, people like you always seem to THINK that it does, and that we have it despite OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary, and you always seem to want to fight anything that might CHANGE, even if it's making life BETTER.

Why are you so terrified of it? Is it possibly because deep down inside, you actually know that you're wrong?
