Cruise 'to build alien attack bunker'

Quote
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning to build a £5 million bunker under their Colorado home to protect them from alien attacks, reports claim.
...
Followers of Scientology are thought to believe that an evil galactic overlord named Xenu is planning to invade the planet in an act of revenge.

It was about time that they notice that something aboard is missing and return to pick me up from this stupid dirtball. All those insectoid humans are making me sick.

lol.  True but....

I did say "not as crazy as it initially sounds" because, when you think about it, many other religions predict very similar happenings.  OK not an "alien" but certainly a creature/person/god from an otherworldly place.

Because it's Scientology everyone laughs but it could just have easily have been another religion.  And if it had been another religion do we really think the media in this politically correct world would be carrying stories mocking it?

I find it funny whenever anyone builds a shelter to protect themselves from aliens/the rapture/staypuft marshmallow man. It's just too overly ridiculous for me to not laugh.

Especially in the case of the rapture. If that happens as described, I guarantee everyone would be screwed, regardless of state of the line shelter or not. Of course, its not gonna happen.  Wink

Oh yeah I totally agree it's ridiculous.  But is it really any stranger than a believer of another religion basing their entire life around similar beliefs?  Is believing in aliens any different from believeing in a god?.....aside from the fact there is quite a good scientific argumanet for the fact that aliens really might exist.

I've seen more photographic evidence of Aliens, so on that end, definitely more for the aliens.

But building a shelter, be it from god/satan or aliens. I'd say they're all equally ridiculous.

well, I guess it depends.
why would build a shelter for rapture? ...Not ready to die just yet?

And if any of those alternatives would happen, we'd be so screwed that a bunker wouldn't do much good.
I mean, everyone... you seen Alien(s) movies, right?

As someone who's studied the subject of the paranormal and ufology since my late teens, i have a firm set of beliefs given the data i have seen.

But this subject along with religion is one that gets alot of people hot under the collar and i tend to stay away from such debates now.

But i agree with Fog's comments. Smiley

Good observation. Actually, its not even about "religion" specifically, but instead about the process of "believing". The mechanics of how it works are deeply rooted in the master/slave style thinking of most humans. And it is not limited to religions..... the core idea is to justify the personal lack of action and responsibility, by creating some abstract "higher uber-master" which determines peoples lives and is responsibile for their actions. It is the ultimate sock-puppet.... no matter if you need action/determination, justification, punishment, reward, a saviour-angel or doomsday-devil..... just project it on the sock-puppet.... it will be whatever you want it to be, just like an imaginary friend. These mechanics do not just apply to aliens, religions or paranormal stuff.... it also applies to a large extent to scientific materialism and cultural dogmatism.

"Why?" - well, to put it simply: "Hope" and "Lies", are the losers "vision" and "truth". Most humans suck so much, that they cannot cope with it and therefore need an excuse and deceitful dream.

P.S.: As for scientific "evidence"..... right now, it is even uncertain, if any highly advanced species could exist in this galaxy - because it may be, that our solar system is among the first generation of systems which have PLANETS. Why? Well, because it may be that previously there weren't enough heavy elements for planet building available. No planets = no lifeforms. Thus, it is not just that no alien activity were observed in this galaxy - it is even uncertain, if a space-traveling species could actually exist in this galaxy.

I couldn't help myself.

Ufology is something of an obsession with me.

I find that most people who argue against the existance of ET are still thinking pretty much inside the goldfish bowl of the human experience.  From the human perspective.  How could aliens get here from there, because it takes thousands of years to travel the distance from the nearest stars.  But they're usualy thinking in terms of current human technology and not broadening their scope outside the box.

If anyone has looked, even at the most trivial aspects of quatumn theory, they'll see, that reality is nothing like we persieve from our newtonian point of view.  Non duality, maybe states, observation affecting results ect all show the sub atomic world is much much stranger than we realise.  And quantum theory is probably the most stable of theories there is.  Being fantastically accurate by those that study it.

Is time travel possible.

Most people respond quickly with, "of course not".  But that shows a level of ignorance of einsteins laws of relativity.
Time dialation is real, has been predicted by einstein and has been proven many times over.  In fact, einstein called space and time one entity space/time.
Gravity, the force created / shown is a result of mass bending and warping space which also has a knock on effect of bending time.

The faster you travel, the slower time passes for yourself to an outside observer.

Thus a person leaving earth on a spaceship, travelling at near the speed of light for x amount of days, and then returning to earth will have noted he has been gone for say, 30 days, real time, ( which has all passed normally for him ), but on earth, thousands of years may have passed by.

This has been proven time and again through experiment.  The most famous of which were the atomic clock tests.  The most acurate clocks for their time.  Two clocks, in sync, one stationary, the other flown around the world, and after the trip, when the two were compared, a disprepency was found bewteen the two.  Where theyre shouldnt have been any.

The point being, that the arguments i see put forward by most people are to my eyes, largely due to ignorance.

I wonder if anyone here has heard of Walter Hout.  He was the press officer at Roswell, at the time of the incident and he was told by his commanding officer to the brief the press about a crashed saucer, which he duly did.  Later of course he had to retract that when the other story was put forward to cover up the incident.

Well, now the guy has died, and a couple of years before he died, he put together a whitnessed sworn afidavit, that he not only saw debri from a crashed disc, but also saw alien bodies.

Anyone heard of Colonel, Philip J Corso.  This is a man, again now dead, who headed up the foreign technology devision for the military, i forget which service, and he was delegated the job of disseminating back engineered alien technology into civilian industry.  He wrote a book about it called "the day after roswell".  And has caused alot of controversy in the ufology field.

Anyone heard of Dr Steven Greer.  He heads up the Disclosure project.  This man has gathered together many many high ranking military officials, who swear that they have had contact with aliens, and thier technology to some degree.  Google video has some of the press conferences. 

Testimony from credible whitnesses is used as a means of gathering evidence to lead to prosecutions in most courts in most countries.


But it's interesting to note that mankind has gone from the horse and cart to landing on the moon in less than a hundred years, 1868 - 1968.  After hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution we have gone from a primitive medieval civilisation to an advanced technology based one in one persons lifetime.

Just think about that. ?


There is plenty of evidence available for anyone willing to research the field.  Of course we are all at liberty to believe what we want, i just think it's wise to get a bit more informed on the subject.

Not meant as a flame, if anyone was wandering. Smiley

Quite a post for someone keeping out of the debate lol Wink

Interesting stuff as ever guys. Smiley

For my part, although I'm certainly not as well read as Lyx and Masked, from what I do know, I do believe there is alien life out there somewhere.  Whether it has advanced to a level where it could travel here, I'm still very much open to debate about though.

but one thing I don't get ... why do you must force yourself to believe in something that makes you scared enough to build a bunker? There are perfectly valid reasons to build a bunker that require much less imagination. I mean, if we're talking about statistics, it's much more likely that there will be an epi-/pandemic or someone blowing up your house than you meeting hostile aliens that want to kill every last human being.

although in this case, it's more likely that katie and tom try to kill each other at some point.  Tongue
