Review of the History Channel's "Time Beings: Extreme Time Travel Conspiracies"

6/11/2016

40 Comments

 
Can you make an inexpensive knockoff of Ancient Aliens entirely out of recycled content, stock footage, interviews with deluded lunatics, and internet rumors? If you answered “yes,” then you are a History Channel executive.
 
The History Channel aired a new special Friday night after their flagship pseudohistory program Ancient Aliens. Time Beings: Extreme Time Travel Conspiracies attempts to ape Ancient Aliens in a number of ways, most notably the use of a sound-alike narrator who resembles Robert Clothworthy, the voice of Ancient Aliens, not just in tenor but also in intonation and pacing. The show also makes use of talking heads and rhetorical questions to speculate on the possibility of time travel just as that other show discusses aliens. The opening credits are modeled on those of Ancient Aliens, with a very similar typeface, albeit less polished and apparently quite cheaply assembled. As with Ancient Aliens, the program is composed almost entirely of stock footage, though this show is cheaper and relies on still photographs where Ancient Aliens either buys or commissions video. 
The talking heads for the show include conspiracy theorists and fringe figures, such as Jimmy Church, alongside self-described futurists, just like on Ancient Aliens. Also present is Ben McGee from NatGeo’s Chasing UFOs, now providing one of only skeptical perspectives in the show (despite heavy editing). The show never goes into the epistemological and philosophical issues surrounding time travel (though MGee discussed them, some of which leaks through in truncated and edited form) and instead signals its plan to ask whether space aliens and UFOs are “really” time travelers.
 
According to Larry Flaxman, a paranormal researcher who appears on the show, the one-off special was intended as the pilot for a future time travel series but has been sitting on the shelf for almost a year, likely due to the closure of the H2 channel, where such programming once aired.
 
The program’s “evidence” for time travel is essentially a bunch of internet rumors, punctuated with “believers say yes” and references to “time travel theory.” The first time traveler is the alleged “hipster” from the 1940s, and the show at least acknowledges that the “hipster” isn’t a time traveler. The second time traveler is the woman from a Charlie Chaplin movie who is holding a portable hearing aid, but which Church alleges is a cell phone. Later, they will ask whether photographs of long dead people who resemble modern celebrities prove that people like Jay-Z are time travelers.
 
As with Ancient Aliens, the show focuses in on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and here we are treated to its possibility for creating a “time phone” that would allow people to make phone calls to the past or future. The show then uses the exact same argument from the preceding hour of Ancient Aliens in which they argue that smartphones, being more powerful than the NASA computers used for the moon landing, therefore imply that future technology will advance to the level of time travel. Jimmy Church alleges that the U.S. government is in a conspiracy to hide their own use of time travel, centered in the Pentagon’s DARPA.
 
Having brought government conspiracies into play, naturally the show moves toward UFOs and government cover-ups of the same. This program speculates that the Roswell “UFO” crash was not, as the military maintains, a weather balloon but rather a time ship something like Rip Hunter’s Waverider on Legends of Tomorrow. “If UFOs exist,” talking head Alex Lightman says, “it is much more likely they are time travelers.” His qualifications for pontificating on time travel are remarkably light, given that his experience and interests are in running minor tech companies and promoting “social innovation.” I can’t see that he has ever done any significant research into the field the show presents him as an expert on. The more he talks, the nuttier he gets, until he is ranting about time travelers manipulating the “timeline” and providing us with computer technology as a “gift” in the 1940s. (Did he not know it was all aliens? That, after all, is what Ancient Aliens​ just finished telling us!)
 
In his PR material, Lightman claims that he produced a “national innovation plan” for the Obama Administration’s Office of Science and Technology Policy. What is wrong with our government? Can’t they keep the complete lunatics out?  (In 2011, he merely claimed that Obama’s OSTP director requested a document from him, not that it was an official U.S. government action. At any rate, the resulting paper does not seem to have been published, and it turned out to be a celebration of the imaginative power of science fiction, if the white paper that shares the same name is identical with it.) He also claims to have presented to the OMB, the Defense Department, the UN, and NATO. While I can’t find any proof that he actually worked with the White House (the Office’s website is silent on him and his book), I did find that he has been delivering speculative quack-ish presentations to various official and semiofficial bodies, like this one to the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine discussing “Science Fiction as Natural Resource.” People actually pay to hear low-information bullshit?
 
Lightman claims that his greatest honor, and the most important one on his resume and on his homepage, is that he “won [the] first Economist magazine Reader’s Award.” In more detail, he claims that he received the Economist magazine’s 2010 Reader’s Choice Award for “The Innovation that will Most Radically Change the World over the Decade 2010 to 2020.” I figured that was as good a moment as any to actually check one of his claims. I inquired of the Economist and discovered that Lightman is a lying liar. Lightman was on hand at the Economist Innovation Summit in December 2010, where he delivered the acceptance speech for the Reader’s Award on behalf of the actual winner: “4G networking,” selected by an online poll of Economist readers “as the innovation with the greatest potential to change society in the coming decade.” The award was not given to him personally, or even in a general sense. He just gave the speech on behalf of 4G networking—at the Economist’s request before the ceremony—because he had written a 2002 book on 4G technology. (Each nominated technology had a speaker arranged to talk about it, should it have won.) Here’s video of 4G networks winning. “Accepting the award on behalf of the technology of 4G networks,” the event host says, “is Alex Lightman … probably the longest-standing advocate of 4G’s potential in the world. He wrote a book saying how great it would be eight years ago.”
 
How do we know he’s been intentionally lying (or has utterly deluded himself) for six years (most recently in a May radio appearance) about the Economist honoring him? Well, before the award was given out in 2010 he admitted on Facebook to understanding that he was not the recipient while actively seeking reader votes for 4G technology. That said, in his “acceptance” speech, he sounded a lot like he so identified with 4G technology that he seemed to really believe in that moment that he had won the award (which was simply an online poll—not an actual honor) rather than the technology.
 
I hope this nut never gets another TV appearance. He’s another J. Hutton Pulitzer in the making, and the History Channel should be ashamed to give him a platform to spin lies.
 
Anyway, back to the show: Church then returns to allege that the U.S. learned about transistors from the Roswell time ship. The show ignores the fact that World War II and the Cold War sparked tremendous research, but Lightman claims that “this democratizing technology was simply dropped into our laps like a gift” in 1947 because of Roswell. Seriously? You don’t see any sort of connection to the vast amounts of money and expertise dumped into science? Lightman of course does not, arguing that “someone is managing the timeline” to ensure that the correct scientific advances occur on schedule.
 
The program turns then to Nazism, because this is the History Channel. So we get material on the modern myth of the Nazi Bell, with South African bullshit artist Michael Tellinger, the ancient astronaut theorist, chiming in alongside Lightman. The material discussed here is the same as that from Ancient Aliens and In Search of Aliens, and computer animation used in the show is very similar to animation used in Ancient Aliens. While it seems to be independently constructed, the earlier version appears to be the clear inspiration for it. Needless to say, the show provides no evidence of Nazi time travel, instead sourcing their claims only to passive voice “reports” and things that “were said.” This is because the material was developed only in 2000 and has little to no basis in documentary or physical evidence. The only physical evidence is a structure dubbed “the henge,” the remains of a cooling tower that a Polish conspiracy theorist alleged was used as a launch pad for a time machine.
 
The narrator claims that the evidence remains in “the most closely guarded vaults of the U.S. military.” This is set up for the second half of the show, which focuses on more U.S. government conspiracy theories. The first is the long-debunked “Philadelphia Experiment,” the allegation that the U.S.S. Eldridge teleported for a few minutes in 1943. The story is a fraud, made up mostly from whole cloth by UFO writer Morris K. Jessup’s pseudonymous source “Carlos Allende.” Many believe Carlos Allende was actually Carl Allen, a Pennsylvania man with a documented history of mental illness. The talking heads speculate (or, in many cases, are edited to sound like they speculate) on how the time travel experiment took place, and the narrator ties it to Tesla (but of course). No one on the show is allowed to doubt that the Philadelphia Experiment occurred.
 
The next segment explores Camp Hero in Montauk, Long Island. This former U.S. government base is the focus for a number of conspiracy theories, ranging from human experimentation to genetic experimentation to time travel. Stewart Swerdlow, who claims to be descended from the first president of the Soviet Union, appears on the show to allege that he participated in time travel experiments in Montauk—and yet somehow lived to tell the tale. In real life, Swerdlow is a self-described psychic who claims to be able to see auras because (and I wish I were making this up) he is the product of genetic engineering from 22 different species of space alien. He says in his book Montauk: The Alien Connection that he is in psychic contact with space aliens and was on board the U.S.S. Eldridge while in the body of a German during the Philadelphia Experiment. He also runs a New Age and conspiracy website.
 
To give you a flavor of his crazy, consider his views in this interview:
There was literally a program going on where they captured some personalities and placed them in families where they’d never be suspected and believe it. Some are coming to remember who they were. Many Nazis were placed into new bodies. I am meeting some. Not all in Jewish bodies, just a percentage. They’ve had this technology for a very long time and they use it for themselves. The Royal Family of Britain use it for themselves. They feign their deaths and go into their own descendants. They have amazing technology. Rigelians use it a lot. They clone a lot of bodies and capture soul personalities to put in. Any species can use it. This is Sirius A technology.
He also believes his mother had no birth canal and that the U.S. government and space aliens genetically engineered his fetus, resulting in three souls existing within him. He’s an advocate of David Icke’s Reptilian conspiracy as well.
 
What in the name of all that true is wrong with the History Channel? The only saving grace is that they did not order this show to series—at least not yet.
 
In the final segment, the show reviews an internet hoax about a “Ming dynasty” miniature Swiss watch, a Photoshopped picture, and speculates that it is somehow real. It then follows Ancient Aliens in believing that Leonardo da Vinci could not possibly have been a true genius because people just can’t think that hard, and therefore he must have received his inspiration from otherworldly beings during his “lost years” of 1476-1478. This segment repeats speculation from the Ancient Aliens episode “The Da Vinci Conspiracy,” but replaces space aliens with time travelers. Jimmy Church alleges that Leonardo “did a drive by” of the future and used what he saw there to create his scientific advances. Lightman agrees that Leonardo could only have developed his scientific breakthroughs via time travel.

Time Beings was a cheap knockoff of Ancient Aliens, and I can only hope that ratings were low enough that History will not be tempted to give it a full series order. It manages to be even less original than Ancient Aliens, recycling the same content with different talking heads and swapping out time travelers for aliens.

What, no Andrew Basiago? His story has it all! Time travel, teleportation, and Obama-might-be-the-anointed-Mars-Jesus conspiracies!

Honestly, if I had to choose a bullshit thing to be on TV I'd pick this over Ancient Aliens any day. Time travel stories at least have the benefit of being entirely amusing and off the wall. AA stories are just sad attempts to cloak racist views in a thin veneer of science fiction.

Sure, they blew their Nazi wad right away, but the potential to explore all the time travel conspiracies and claims out there (even from a wholly credulous point of view) could at least provide a reasonable level of entertainment without necessarily having to drink too deeply of the alien-gods-and-inferior-brown-people well.

Basiago's ridiculous nonsense alone could make for a few good episodes of fantasy daydreaming, and the whole John Titor affair has enough material to work into nearly an entire season.

Sure, it'd be nice to have a straight forward analysis of the stories presented by rational individuals instead of a believer-circlejerk style History prefers, but it'd be a refreshing change of pace from AA.

I have often wondered how time travel can work.
Since the universe contains a finite amount of matter surely transporting a large quantity of matter from one time period to another means we would create a "deficit" in the finite amount of organised matter in one time and an "excess" to a finite amount of organised matter in another time.
Wouldn't the tiny expansion rates inherent in the matter transported not synchronise with the rest of the universe both in going from one period to another and returning?
Just a thought.

If the proces of timetravel would 'transfer' inversely the same amount of energy as the mass represents, the equilibrium would be maintained.
Now how to do that is an entirely different matter.

How that mass/energy equilibrium already should apply on our (minimal) timetraveling satellites is something i am curious about.

That's assuming that time is actually moving at the same rate everywhere in the universe--or even in the same direction. Personally, I tend to favor the...explanation, since I have no idea how testable it is, that time, as we see it and measure it, is simply motion along an axis of direction. If that is true, then there's no reason for a paradox to exist, as that would simply be a redistribution of mass within a static frame, thereby removing the need for synchronicity. After all, the entire number line doesn't collapse just because a graph is replotted and points move in relation to the axes.

But even without that, I recall that quantum physics has some sort of answer to your question involving "strange" particles or something, whereby matter moved from one point in time to another would squish the quanta around temporally to "cover" the "void." I didn't understand the explanation when it was given enough to repeat it, but I think it may have involved the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in some fashion? I dunno. I can sort of grasp around the edge of quantum physics, but the thick of it is too much for me when I haven't conquered calculus yet. (I swear to god, I will someday, just to take care of a 20-year-old grudge match between me and math!)

Jason's website is anti-Christian just because he debunks theories that either involve the Watchers or are derived from the Watchers? Whenever Jason talks about the Watchers and their influence on pseudoscientific theories he is in no way criticizing the myths of the Watchers themselves, he is just criticizing the theories themselves and the people that come up with them. I have not seen Jason ever criticize the Bible or the stories in it in any of his posts, which makes sense considering the fact that Bible debunker is not his job title. That is not the kind of site he runs. He focuses on history, anthropology, pseudoscience, and the influence that mythology, science-fiction, and horror fiction has on it. To say that Jason goes out of his way to bring up Christian stories as a means to criticize it is completely false. It just so happens that many of these claims are derived from Christianity, because we live in a society that has been Christian-centric for centuries, and as a result many claims in the fringe culture were born as a reaction the to cultural progress and scientific advancements it has often clashed with. What Time Machine is doing is trolling, and as an atheist myself I'm disgusted by how hateful he sounds in a lot of his posts but I ignore him/her because it is just a waste of my time to respond.

Hardly so. Particularly when one considers that the source material for the Watchers is Jewish, not Christian.

Regardless, it is possible to refute specific claims or condemn the actions of those claiming a religious alignment without stooping to wide-angle theological bashing; something our resident troll does not quite seem to understand.

There are, of course, people of all religious beliefs who adhere to more extremist views, but that does not negate the potential good of others who hold to the same core precepts.

You identify as "A Buddhist", and perhaps the version you adhere to is the image we see of the benevolent sage so prevalent in American media, but we can also find examples of Buddhist extremism such as the militant Buddhist sects of Thailand who have for the last decade actively hunted Malay Muslims in the southern regions, or the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult of Japan which drew heavily on fringe interpretations of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity.

Does discussing, or even condemning these necessarily make for an anti-Buddhist statement, then?

V
6/13/2016 11:44:53 am

A Buddhist, I would argue that someone like Von Daniken is not, precisely, a Christian. He has too many beliefs that would be considered by most sects to be heretical, if not outright blasphemies, to be a good representative of "Christian." But even if he were a perfect example of "Christian," that still wouldn't make this website anti-Christian, because Jason's stories do not focus on how Christianity is wrong and to blame, it focuses on how the stories told by these people, who may or may not be Christian, are not supported by evidence, grow out of extracanonical texts that are often falsified in the first place, one could just as easily make the claim that Jason was defending the Christian faith.

Neither is correct, because the focus is not on religion, it's on history, and that is not something, contrary to popular belief, that belongs just to Christianity alone.

First law of time travel, exploit the tar out of it. If you could go back and do the Back to the Future 2 betting on a horse race thing, with knowledge from the future, you surely would. The time traveler would make him or her self the richest person in all creation by guessing the outcome, because he'd already know it, of everything. He could cure all disease, end all wars, and appear neigh omnipresent, but not omnipotent. Surely some other time traveler would get wind of it and come looking for him.

Time travel has the inherent flaw of Fantasy Island, where if you could do anything you wish, you surely would wish for unlimited wishes.

It's not so much the Grandfather paradox or the Butterfly effect, as if you believe that somehow there is a cosmic limit and some entity prevents you from time travel, and from messing with time and space, you must ergo believe in that divinity in some form.

If you had the time machine, could you do anything, and become said being, becoming ultimately very lonely because nobody else can know, for they could take away your time machine.

In the end, you could make the time machine, but because of some very human factors, you will be afraid to.

If inventors were time travelers they would have done it differently.

True predictions or not, what made the Titor story great was the depth and manner in which it was presented. These days internet hoaxes and crackpot fringe radio guests (and hosts) are a dime a dozen, but in 2000 it was Art or nothing.

I wasn't part of the BBS discussion as it happened, but read the archived version a few times. It's easy to poke holes in, but a fun read nonetheless. I'm sure the disjointed nature of BBS postings helps considerably. It's much more compelling as a conversation than a narrative.

The man claiming to be the lawyer for the family of Titor (and likely creator of the story himself), Larry Haber, still makes appearances here and there on fringe radio to keep the story going and make vague promises of a Titor movie in the works (or to fish for someone to make one).

The History Channels Time Beings: Extreme Time Travel Conspiracies programme was interesting viewing. However they have made some glaring mistakes concerning Stewart Swerdlow and the Montauk Project. The great pretender Stewart Swerdlow is nothing more than a sly charlatan, a liar and a con artist. Whenever he mentions his usual disinformation backstory about Yakov Sverdlov being his great-uncle, people should be aware that Swerdlow made up that lie to further develop his fake persona for marketing purposes back in 1997. Stewart Swerdlow was never related to Yakov Sverdlov and Swerdlow does not have Russian ancestry. Swerdlow's ancestry comes from Belarus and Poland. Many people know Stewart Swerdlow's family never originated from Russia in the first place because researchers have done his genealogy which clearly shows this. Yakov Sverdlov was also never the first head of state of the Soviet Communist Party in Russia because he died in 1919 and the Soviet Union was not established until 1922. Swerdlow is therefore simply hoodwinking and tricking gullible people and nothing more with his fantastical backstories. Everything about Stewart Swerdlow is just one large monumental lie and deception from beginning to end. Swerdlow is so fixated on using his Soviet Union connections marketing gimmick that many attendees to his dubious public talks say he sometimes speaks with a mock Russian accent which then gives him an air of legitimacy, when Swerdlow is in reality a con man who only cares about his own egocentric based fame. People should remember Stewart Swerdlow also did that fake green screen presentation, where the background showed the Kremlin in Moscow, whilst Swerdlow spoke pigeon Russian for a few seconds that he had learned by using Rosetta Stone language software. Swerdlow really is a laughable con man.

The Montauk Project was most definitely fiction. For one thing there has been a number of visits carried out at the Montauk AFB site where Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scans have been done and on each occasion they have found no evidence of any underground base or tunnel networks. So the lie that was propagated that under Montauk AFB was a huge deep underground military base, is complete rubbish. Then over at the Bielek Debunked website, the team of excellent researchers there has found the whole backstory invented by Alfred Bielek, that became known as the Philadelphia Experiment, was all completely fake and made up by him. So when Preston Nichols then made up his Montauk Project fantasy world, there were some aspects of truth to his statements concerning kinds of science and technology, but most of Nichol's information is rehashed science fiction from film and television. So one set of lies was used by Preston Nichols to invent another load of lies. However those individuals who were associated with the Montauk Project Mythos, were never big deceivers like Stewart Swerdlow is. His involvement with the Montauk Project was obviously zero and that has been clearly proven by the constant statements of Duncan Roads, the Nexus Magazine editor. Duncan Roads has tried to inform people constantly about the fact Stewart Swerdlow is a serious disinformer and complete fake, but many people like the Montauk Project Mythos, and therefore seem to ignore the revelatory truth about Swerdlow.

You have to remember that Stewart Swerdlow made up his entire backstory about being on the Montauk Project to gain fame and attention for himself as he had a criminal record from 1992. At the Global Sciences Congress (GSC) in February 1999, in Daytona, Florida, Stewart Swerdlow approached Alfred Bielek who was talking with Duncan Roads, the Nexus Magazine editor in the foyer of the main building where the GSC was being held. In front of hundreds of attendees there, and Dean Stonier, the con man Stewart Swerdlow then accused Al Bielek of making up the Philadelphia Experiment. He then reacted aggressively and Bielek and Swerdlow got into a small argument. Alfred Bielek wanted to punch Stewart Swerdlow in the face. Swerdlow then suggested he would like to connect the fake Philadelphia Experiment to his own fake backstory concerning what Swerdlow called the 'Montauk Project'. Swerdlow wanted to further embellish his fake backstory to make himself look legitimate. At the same Global Sciences Congress (GSC) in February 1999, Stewart Swerdlow told over 500 attendees that he had raped and sodomized to death 300 orphaned boys on the Montauk Project between 1970 to 1983. That also was another complete lie made up by Swerdlow. Remember that Stewart Swerdlow had a criminal record from 1992, and therefore he was mainly shunned by the New Age Community and had to keep inventing hugely fantastical backstories about himself to get noticed. Therefore Stewart Swerdlow is most definitely a con artist, a fraud, a charlatan and a disinformer. Now that Al Bielek and Preston Nichols are gone, only Swerdlow keeps the Montauk Project Mythos going as a m

Swerdlow has been proven with consistent research to be a disinformer of the worst kind who dupes vunerable people with mental health and psychosexual problems, so he can form a loyal cult around himself and indoctrinate people with his fake information. In Blue Blood, True Blood, Stewart Swerdlow does state he has the DNA of 22 alien races. In his book, Blue Blood, True Blood, Stewart Swerdlow also states he has three Souls inside his body. Can anyone believe how utterly insane Swerdlow is? Does that not sound like Swerdlow is demonically possessed? On the Expansions website, in radio interviews, YouTube videos and workshops Swerdlow has done, he clearly states he has Bear DNA, Lion DNA, Scorpion DNA, Aldebaran DNA, Sirian DNA and Viking DNA.

It is well-known on the New Age Circuit that the only reason Peter Moon (Vincent Barbarick), who wrote the Montauk Project books bothered to include Stewart Swerdlow's stupendous fiction filled bragging and outright lies is because Moon knew the books would sell well if he included the fantasist disinformer Swerdlow. Peter Moon knew there was a growing demand for time travel books and realized the potential of the book series. Behind the scenes Stewart Swerdlow has never had any contact with extraterrestrials, never been to Mars, never extracted a phial of Jesus Christ's blood and DNA, never traveled to the Planet Khoom orbiting Sirius A, and is basically a complete nobody pretending to be unique and special.

With Alfred Bielek and Preston Nichols now gone, only Stewart Swerdlow and Duncan Cameron remain. Cameron only usually showed his face on camera when Nichols was around and has now slunked off into obscurity. Swerdlow is a supreme con man who has zero clairvoyant abilities and was never on the Montauk Project. It is truly amazing the History Channel would even conceive of interviewing Stewart Swerdlow. There again, Swerdlow's science fiction fantasy world filled with time travel, the Philadelphia Experiment and his own bloated ego, might have been good viewing for some people.

Stewart Swerdlow also pretends he is one of the world's 'foremost hyperspace intuitives' and always interlinks that to time travel, transdimensional understanding and the Montauk Project. However Swerdlow has no hyperspace language abilities whatsoever and instead Swerdlow plagiarized the Language of Hyperspace information from Maryanne Johnston, who was a half American Indian, half German, blind social worker that visited him and shared her knowledge with him. Maryanne was a real extraterrestrial experiencer, contactee and shaman. The History Channel obviously did not do their research on Stewart Swerdlow. There again, Swerdlow is invited onto Coast To Coast AM and repeats his lies to George Noory now and again, where nobody questions the validity of anything he makes up.

Well the farcical story that Stewart Swerdlow has made up about himself being on the Montauk Project is absolutely ludicrous beyond belief. When Swerdlow tells people he has the DNA of 22 separate alien races, he really does show how utterly insane he really is. Only a pompous egocentric maniac would make up a total lie like that. Stewart Swerdlow as also mentioned he has the DNA of 5 other alien races. In Blue Blood, True Blood, Swerdlow mentions he has the DNA lineage of Saint Peter the Apostle. His wife, Janet Swerdlow always tells people she has the DNA of Mary Magdalene and is of the Waldenisian Bloodline in France. Maybe both Stewart Swerdlow and his wife should have DNA tests done. Of course they won't though, because they are scamming gullible people with their fantasy world deceptions.

Swerdlow was never on the Montauk Project as Alfred Bielek mentioned many times to Duncan Roads, the Nexus Magazine editor, to Dean Stonier, and to many other people. Because Stewart Swerdlow has spent so long constantly telling people he was a Montauk Boy and a survivor, the repetition of Swerdlow doing that has resulted in most people accepting that total lie. Stewart Swerdlow is nothing more that a gimmick inventing scam merchant who is most definitely a charlatan, a fraud, a con artist and fake, just like his wife, Janet Swerdlow is. Mr. Stewart Swerdlow is a very dishonest and deceitful man who many have unfortunately been psychologically traumatised by because of his fake, reinvented teachings. It is truly laughable that anyone would believe Swerdlow at Expansions, after he has caused so many problems for his current clients and ex-clients. At least many people are now beginning to realize what a total scammer Swerdlow really is and has been since 1992. Look at what Stewart Swerdlow got his criminal record for, and then look at how he tricks and deceives people with his plagiarized and rehashed information.

Stewart Swerdlow in his book, Blue Blood, True Blood mentions that much of his knowledge came from employees on the Montauk Project. Well that is plain crappola B.S., because the Bielek Debunked website has proven the Montauk Project never even existed. Preston Nichols back in 1990 and 1991 conceived the idea for the Montauk Project and Swerdlow simply added and embellished the original lies. Stewart Swerdlow learned his knowledge after plagiarizing everything he knows from numerous other researchers on the New Age Circuit and the conspiracy theory world. Stewart Swerdlow did take Maryanne Johnston's Language of Hyperspace information and reused it, pretending the knowledge was his.

When Stewart and his wife, Janet Swerdlow do their regular YouTube videos where they talk about the daily news headlines, they are just shamelessly trying to promote their disinformation and useless plagiarized products. I would also add, that I do believe the charlatan fantasist Stewart Swerdlow is running a Satanic Cult to lure people into being mind controlled by his awful teachings. I hope people steer clear of Stewart Swerdlow, because he is pure evil and only cares about his own fake career and prestige. Swerdlow's farcical story is one huge circus show comprised of his immense egocentric madness and constantly subversive fibbing.

After reading your review of the History Channel programme entitled 'Ancient Aliens. Time Beings: Extreme Time Travel Conspiracies', I noticed they interviewed Stewart Swerdlow. I was truly amazed the History Channel would interview someone like Swerdlow. There is so much information exposing Stewart Swerdlow as a charlatan, liar and con man, it is ridiculous. Stewart Swerdlow plagiarized the DNA of 22 aliens idea from Alex Collier (Ralph Amagran) who said that Humans generally have the DNA of 22 aliens. So the disinformer Swerdlow took the lies of Alex Collier and simply reused them to embellish his own fake backstory for marketing purposes.

Now the entire Nazi German and Fourth Reich obsession Stewart Swerdlow is wholly disturbing. People should be aware that Swerdlow has been banned from giving public talks in Berlin, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf in Germany, because of his anti-semitic remarks during a talk he gave in September 2015 in Germany that caused outrage and shock from the German organizers and the audience. In Blue Blood, True Blood, Stewart Swerdlow tells everyone that he is some kind of Nazi German who was brought through time, who was called Johannes von Gruber. According to Swerdlow the Illuminati used him in sexual ritual magick because of the German Aryan DNA from Johannes von Gruber within his body. Presumably that is in addition to Swerdlow's fake DNA from 22 aliens.

How could the History Channel have simply ignored the lunatic ramblings and absolute B.S, of Stewart Swerdlow? That man has no right to even be interviewed and has zero credibility. Swerdlow has been banned from so many annual conspiracy theory related conferences in the United States of America and elsewhere, because organizers know Stewart Swerdlow is a con artist who has invented his silly backstory about being on the Montauk Project to make money. Swerdlow has even started using a fake Russian accent to further embellish is original fakery concerning Yakov Sverdlov. I think it is an absolute scandal that the History Channel interviewed him.

All people have do is go and research the truth about Stewart Swerdlow and they will soon find out what an evil, twisted, egocentric, self-obsessed pretender he really is. Why does Swerdlow always mention Johannes von Gruber and Nazi Germany? It is as if Stewart Swerdlow secretly admires Nazism and he always talks about the Fourth Reich in Antarctica as well. Swerdlow is truly insane. Stewart Swerdlow has mentioned many times he is a galactic ambassador for the Planet Ummo, a chosen envoy for the Galactic Federation and he talks with the Kuiper Belt Aliens. So as you can see, there is nothing sincere or truthful about Stewart Swerdlow and the anger so many ex-clients have vented concerning the incorrect psychological advice Swerdlow has given them, is now seen as a standard reaction to him alongside his constantly reinvented false backstories.

I watched the History Channel programme entitled 'Ancient Aliens. Time Beings: Extreme Time Travel Conspiracies' and was quite shocked to see they had interviewed Stewart Swerdlow. Most people already known that Swerdlow tells whopping great lies all the time and spreads nothing but disinformation. Frankly, I am amazed the History Channel did not do their research into Swerdlow and his constantly changing backstories. Many people now realize the Montauk Project was a total lie made up by Preston Nichols and Stewart Swerdlow. Extensive research has proven the science, technology and engineering that was apparently part of the Montauk Project time travel experiments, was all completely false. There have been two Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scans done at Montauk Point and no underground bases or tunnel networks were found there. So how could time travel experiments have taken place on the Montauk Project when the military base never even existed? Preston Nichols made up the Montauk Project time travel experiments lie to get noticed and the johnny-come-lately Stewart Swerdlow then liked the idea's of Nichols, and therefore decided to reinvent his persona after coming out of prison in 1992. Stewart Swerdlow most definitely plagiarized the Language of Hyperspace material from his social worker, who was a blind, half German, half American Indian lady called Maryanne Johnston. She was a real clairvoyant, unlike Swerdlow, who had real extraterrestrial experiences, where she learned about the Language of Hyperspace material. Swerdlow simply used her knowledge to further embellish his fake backstory. In addition to this, to further exaggerate his false backstory, Stewart Swerdlow even uses a rather bad Russian accent to further embellish the whopping great lie that he has Russian ancestry and Yakob Sverdlov was his so-called great-uncle. If only people would do a bit of research on Stewart Swerdlow, and then people would realize everything he says is false. The large number of revelations about Stewart Swerdlow reveal he is most definitely a charlatan, a fraud, a liar, a scammer and a con artist of massive proportions who has duped a lot of people with his large amount of deceptions.

Stewart Swerdlow in his book, Blue Blood, True Blood mentions that much of his knowledge came from employees on the Montauk Project. Well that is plain crappola B.S., because the Bielek Debunked website has proven the Montauk Project never even existed. Stewart Swerdlow learned his knowledge after plagiarizing everything he knows from numerous other researchers on the New Age Circuit and the conspiracy theory world. Stewart Swerdlow knew that by plagiarizing Maryanne Johnston’s Language of Hyperspace information and reusing it, that he could make himself look special. When Stewart and his wife, Janet Swerdlow do their regular YouTube videos where they talk about the daily news headlines, they are just shamelessly trying to promote their disinformation and useless plagiarized products. Now they have started dyeing their hair red again, because Swerdlow believes red hair means someone has strong psychic abilities and Lyraean DNA. I would also add, that I do believe the charlatan fantasist Stewart Swerdlow is running a Satanic Cult to lure people into being mind controlled by his awful teachings, that he has based upon the Montauk Project disinformation. I hope people steer clear of Stewart Swerdlow, because he is a malevolent individual who only cares about his own fake career and prestige. Swerdlow’s farcical story is one huge circus show comprised of his immense egocentric madness and constantly subversive fibbing. Swerdlow has never time traveled and was not involved with the Montauk Project.

For those of you that would like to have a good look at the real genealogy and family history of Stewart Swerdlow, and not the stupid fictional ego based rubbish he keeps mentioning about his bogus connections to Soviet Russia and Yakob Sverdlov, have a look at the PDF by using this weblink:
