Los Vegas as part. Of the next generation. Says this has been your local news from. Detroit state's talk leader. Sixty's. Watching. You start living in cities premier 55. Just minutes. After. about how. The end of the world is not only something. That is being used. By the religious in superstitions you don't have to be religious to believe in the end of the world anymore you just don't because everything is politically motivated So even beyond the world of political. Given believe that there's going to be something happening that is going to be natural or maybe a nuclear warhead going off or something which is a political a lot of respects Unless of course you want to say well it's the Russians that did it it was the North Koreans that did it I know that Kim Jong un has said that he's got a Christmas present for everybody if we don't do something I don't know what it hasn't some time to think about right so I always have that nuclear mushroom cloud hanging over our heads and then you know you have The Big Book of the hour which is climate change which of course they tell us will have 12 years left on this planet. Which many people believe and they'd rather believe that he doesn't think is that is the secular I could call that is secular end of the world scenario then of course there's the alien invasion but brings about the end of the world that's a well worn outro for science fiction writers h.g. Wells predicted 998 Orson Welles' book the nation when he broadcast the event 40 years later in the summer of 1947 what happened we had Roswell we had Mari Island we had that kind of Arnold u.f.o. Sightings and everybody was seeing I mean 1952 there were u.f.o. Seen over Washington d.c. Near the Capitol. We just got through talking about a u.f.o. Being sort of the nation's capital again a repeat performance to see what happened in 1952 the government got anxious hysteria saying again but the government of course kept things quiet they didn't let people know what was going on and then of course we had Project Blue Book we had. Drugs we had signed we had Jaylen Heinecke we had swamp gas we had Flock of Seagulls and then came science fiction. Came along started to illustrate some theories as to what we're witnessing what we're experiencing and what it means for our fate. First off one of the films that struck a chord with me was the thing starring James Arnett's actually was produced by Howard Hawks. Archaeal studios of course owned by Howard Hughes if you were able to turn the brightness down on the screen it would sound like a radio play it was that good thing it was being to the theaters by man from Planet x. Though that was Edward. Edgar Edgar g. Omer. He created man from Planet x. And then of course the thing. You know if you remember the thing it was filmed in the Arctic it's kind I mean we're not talking about the John Carpenter version we're talking about the version that. But had Matt Dillon in it you know without a cowboy hat he was basically a vampire vegetable from another planet it was as amazing accounting Frankenstein's monster that is the movie that I'm talking about and then of course the day of your stood still but you know science fiction buffs b. Movie. Fiction Otto I know how important movies like these have been part of shaping our future and shaping the way we look at you know what happens in the world because when you look at the literature of over the jhana if you will of science fiction it's basically taking our culture and exposing it to science and technology I mean it made us all part of the nerd culture people love superhero movies people love to go to science fiction films people love to be scared because why we want to be fearless against possible into the world scenarios in our own homes in our bedrooms looking in our phones you know all these things we communicate the experiences speculations of all people it's kind of like we relive the end of the world every time we go to some science fiction movie and we learn about a mechanized society I mean you go back to. Metropolis Fritz Lang that was something that was amazing Maria the robot still to this day amazing inspiration for c 3 P.O.'s Star Wars. The agony eventually atom bomb and all the limits confronting scientists and technicians all these things became universal concerns we all thought the world's going to end in some sort of a. Big explosion that was the alien takeover certainly a metaphor for the communist ideologies invasion of Body Snatchers comes to mind mutant monsters rising from the ice What was that all Japan and nuclear wars of course Godzilla. One of my favorites too where the nuclear genie was let out of the bottle leading us to who knows what but you know still going back to the end during the day the Earth Stood Still. A lot of people don't understand that that was actually a science fiction version of the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ it was I don't think a lot of people know that I don't think they know the subtle Christ like message that was given in that film. It was Weiss I think good to produce the film it was. You look at what was written at the time and what it was all about and I know of a story that was a guy that. When he was just a Breen he was the censor for the Motion Picture Association of Arts. Of America and of course he was a 20th Century Fox And of course they had their own version of ratings that they didn't have a rating system but the m.p.a. Of course were there to censor things or rewrite scripts or say this won't work with people be able to handle that I remember back when. Colin Clive was in Frankenstein and he made mention they cut out a line and said you know. Now I know what it feels like to be a god that cut that out after he created life know what it feels like to be a god. They cut that out well same thing went on with this movie I mean the thing is that it was such to the censors it was such a. It was such a blatant Jesus Christ metaphor that they actually wouldn't clap to rises from the dead. And Helen Patricia Neal says to quote to Michael Rennie whether God has unlimited power over life and death Klaatu explains that Gort has only revived him temporarily and that the power of life over death is reserved to the almighty spirit it was he was Edmund North who wrote. But film Weiss produced the film and he had hoped that this whole Christ comparison would be a subtle one but the censors knew exactly what was going on here when glad to escape from the hospital he steals the clothing of a major carpenter carpentry of course is the profession that Jesus learned from Joseph it presents himself as John Carpenter taking the name of the disciple John and of course Jesus Christ John Carpenter j.c. His previous actions of course misunderstood and eventually is killed by military authorities like the Roman soldiers killing Jesus thus Klaatu was killed by the soldiers of the United States and the end of the film to having risen from the dead ascends into the sky and of course you know the rest is history and you know you are in the beginning of the movie if you remember he had something he tried to hand something to. The military and they shot it out of his hand it had unspeakable powers a sign of my power he handed it to him and in. One of the guys who saw the spaceship come in said holy Christmas another indication that there's a little bit of a Jesus Christ allegory me remember the speech that cloud 2 gave you said it's no concern of ours how you run your own planet but if you threaten to extend your violence this earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder So when you look at that film you see that it conveyed the concerns of the people of the time and a savior on the screen company by a robot was the science fiction version of religion. Which once again we have to go back and say to ourselves you know. How many times have we gotten this Christ trope being told this is how the world will end this is how someone with concern from us from another planet or outside the solar system or some extra terrestrial God has a concern for us but you know they remade their remade the film of the day viewers stood still in 2000 and counting reuse played the part of Klaatu and what stunk about that was that they basically turned it back into a. Global warming metaphor everything you know it's ruin the whole story was he once again we don't need religion to give us the eschaton we don't need religion to tell us the world is ending because we have plenty of politicians and others that are doing a good job in convincing us and hiding their little Jesus metaphors and everything behind science fiction and the why are we getting all this fed to us Well there is a reason and I'll tell you why coming up 877-733-1011 that's 877-733-1011 I'm quite Luas ground 0 and will be back.

Are you from California. When it comes to the fate of the planet comes in the fate of a mechanized society it's all hidden in science fiction message has to get out somehow. And of course now we are moving into the 2nd decade of the 21st century and there have been growing doubts about the viability of an optimistic future and it used to be that a pessimistic view of the future was confined to 20th century literary writers and humanists in secular. I guess you can call them metaphors about Jesus and the end of the world and that went on all the way up to the year 2000 and from 2012 years hence. 12 years after 2012. We had a window of opportunity to write about an apocalypse that included things like Y2k the Mayan calendar the return of planet x. So we have a lot of believers out there in times of ants and they've been waiting for the end of the world dates would pass and times were up and nothing happened to the satisfaction of anybody that wanted to see doom death and destruction I mean the planet dies little by little it's a big place right. But there are a lot of people who see the prophecies of doom as cliches and of course social criticism is levied against the religious and the superstitious and we all know there's only one doomsday scenario that is sticking with people and that is the world's going to end in 12 years if we don't meaning and you know that's the kind of stuff is sticking right now and as I said eschatology no longer needs religion in order for to be a distinct possibility Ok so eschatology meaning the end of the world somebody in the world doesn't need religion now I mean the world scenarios are no longer the product the religious because we have scientists and politicians now that are managing to provoke this increasingly worried reflection on the likelihood of a doomsday scenario whether it's a nuclear conflagration or some sort of asteroid impact or what have you so here we have ourselves living through all kinds of apocalyptic events and people are going to these preachers and crying wolf the politicians are crying wolf and the biggest fear we all have now is the unanswered questions about what is really happening around us and whether or not we live in what is called the Post truth era and that we are on the verge of the Apocalypse or the end of the world I mean no one wants to be lied to no one wants to admit that they don't know anything but the question is here we are in Western culture and we tend to over emphasize how much we know we always have so I know there's and I know that blah blah blah blah blah so they look at each other they say well I can't know something because if I don't know something people think I'm stupid and so our fear of admitting that we don't know something leads us to try to save face and so we conjure up some sort of opinion saying it's fact because that gives us the impression or gives us the impression that we're in control and we know something and then see not knowing something puts you on the defensive it's unconscious reactivity is why we try to hide what we don't know behind jargon double speak technobabble we hope that it can somehow detract or you know distract you but sometimes it gives you veneer credibility Well I'll look into that you know see here's the thing. The powers that be may not want to tell you what the future holds they may know the future but they don't want to tell you what the future is especially when it comes to how the Earth has become a target. Of interstellar objects and rogue asteroids and scientists have claimed that our planet was recently hit this what's interesting they claim that our planet was recently hit by what is called a mini moon which is a mysterious object which exploded in a gigantic fireball over Australia Ok so what we were talking about back before the 21st is this very scenario happening where a large asteroid would be caught up in the Earth's gravity become a move or the sun could hit a certain way. We are Kosky effect is what it was here we had a certain way it could hit us so but it happened in 2016 right. It was extremely slow fireball explode over South Australia may have been a mini moon they say was picked up by 6 different detectors would explode in the sky in August of 2016 so we already had an event but no one told us about it know why it was in a remote area so they thought no one would care so it's very difficult to guess what's going to happen to an object when encounters gravity because it's movement is pretty chaotic and predicting it's pretty impact trajectories pretty difficult that's why they care about something that's 4000000 miles away because that 4000000 miles away what I have to worry about well but if we saw a big asteroid our planet's orbit we would necessarily be able to say where and when it was going to hit us or even it was going to simply zoom around our planet and then travel off into space so needless to say that if a rock exploded over Australia it had been larger It could have done some major damage it could have created tsunamis it could have destroyed cities made a big crater put dust in the air I mean another possibility is that we have this huge rock. It's big enough to get hit a remote area of our planet and then one day we wake up and we realize the sun hasn't come up yet or we realize it's awfully cold in Miami or we realize that the planet has stopped rotating so that object struck the earth and was large enough to cause the Earth to stop rotating or reverse its rotation it would be catastrophic for the earth in almost every possible way and what is odd is that is very scenario was brought up on the Larry King radio program when astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson explained how everyone on earth would instantly die if the Earth suddenly stopped rotating for just one second one say according to the scientist it would be similar to not wearing a seat belt during a really bad car accident that would be thrown 800 miles an hour due east of the planet stop rotating and then those who survive it I mean if it slowed down that be different I mean if it was slowed down and we slowed down with it all of a sudden stop that we differ but it just wasn't just stopped abruptly stopped I mean that's a big deal to have happen right it's an odd thing to talk about this on a talk show especially after the announcement that a mini moon crashed into the planet 3 years ago unbeknown to the people of Earth I mean Tyson noted that if the Earth suddenly stopped spinning. Everyone and everything is not securely anchored would be thrown towards the direction of the planet's rotation. Tyson said that people would die it would be disastrous but of course it went slowly we would we would live of course some would die but the magnetic field would change and everything would go crazy the sun would darken or the moon would be out all if you'd be crazy every day be light on one side and darkness on the other side and it be permanent till they are started spinning again . The question is is that they start talking about these thing in an issue under what do they know and do I want to know it. I mean if something is in the works something like this something big like a rock hitting the planet or the planet stopping would you like to know so you can prepare for it she would be shocked or scared I mean they went 3 years without talking about what happened in Australia would you like to know 877-733-1011 we'll be back.
