Bader The UFO Contact Movement from the 1950s to the Present In recent years, claims of UFO abduction and/or contact have become an increasing fixture in the mass media. So-called "reality" television shows, such as NBC's Unsolved Mysteries, and syndicated newsmagazines such as Hard Copy, and A Current Affair, regularly feature UFO accounts. The syndicated Sightings, and Fox's Encoun ters are entirely devoted to UFOs and other paranormal phenomena while a popular new adventure series, The X-Files, utilizes current UFO beliefs in its storylines.

  • Introduction to Organized Spiritual UFO Groups Although the Wider
    Introduction to Organized Spiritual UFO Groups Although the wider UFO movement has very little in the way of formal organizational structures, there are several groups within the UFO movement that have emerged with distinct histories, worldviews, beliefs and practices of their own. These groups are usually quite small, but are often also quite well known, because they become the more visible aspect of the spiritual UFO movement. These groups are usually organized like a school or a classroom, in which teachings communicated by extraterrestrial "teachers" are passed down to interested human "students." Invariably in these groups, the wisdom of extraterrestrial entities is understood to be far in advance of current human learning and knowledge. As a result, extraterrestrials become figures of reverence. It is NOT correct to say, however, that they become objects of worship. Within these organized spiritual UFO groups, extraterrestrial entities are seen to be more spiritually advanced than we are, but they are simply farther along the spiritual path to God than humans, they are not gods themselves. Most organized UFO spiritual groups also believe in the existence of less advanced, "evil" alien entities who work to oppose our continued learning and spiritual evolution. The spiritual task of believers is therefore to overcome the evil alien influence under the guidance of benevolent alien teachings, and sometimes with the direct assistance of the "good" aliens. The three best known UFO spiritual groups are the Aetherius Society, Unarius, and the Raelian Movement. The Aetherius Society One of the earliest organized UFO spiritual groups to be founded was The Aetherius Society.

  • Voice of Venus
    Intro: I have an old – soon 60years - wisdombook in my library I think many should have access to: This preface was compiled in the extreme necessity of acquainting any and all individuals who may be interested, and by reason of their interest, assumed to be in a receptive position whereby they can realize the great and tremendous importance of Unarius; and as the expressing element of Unarius, Earnest L. Norman and his life should therefore become known to those so interested. Unarius = Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science.The second meaning is a definition in which he states that Unarius means "Love in Action". Inasmuch as his life was a constant succession of miraculous psychic demonstrations, these should be used as incontestable proof to those who may be wavering and need some bolstering power to crystallize their own efforts in faith. Inasmuch as no written diary was kept, these various depictions were drawn from memory and dictated in the accustomed manner and delivery, as were all Unarius transcripts. In complete justification of the purpose involved and served, no attempt should be made to equate them in terms of personal relationships or which may be classified as an extruded ego. The author is quite aware of all psycholoical aspects involved and their impacts. So far as common nominators are used and in this frame of reference, all superlatives become inadequate to describe even one psychic experience; and this fact will be verified by anyone who has passed through the prescribed limits of mortal life and transcended into the realm of the psychic world.

  • Speaking Up: Down-Ballot Candidate Communication, Clinton, Trump, and the Election That Surprised America
    Speaking Up: Down-Ballot Candidate Communication, Clinton, Trump, and the Election that Surprised America Kiana M. Scott A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: David Domke, Chair Mark Smith J. Patrick Dobel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Communication © Copyright 2017 Kiana M. Scott University of Washington Abstract Speaking Up: Down-Ballot Candidate Communication, Clinton, Trump, and the Election that Surprised America Kiana M. Scott Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor David Domke Department of Communication This dissertation examined legislative candidates’ public communications about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election, via three forms of analysis. Specifically, I employed content analysis to examine patterns of state and federal legislative candidate communication on Twitter, with attention to the level of office sought, incumbency status, partisan identity, and candidate gender. I analyzed tweets referencing the presidential nominees from 98 candidates running for legislative office during the election. Second, I conducted semi-structured interviews with candidates for the Washington State Legislature, to examine how candidates constructed discourse about the presidential nominees. Third, I analyzed Republican U.S. senators’ public communication responses to the release of a video showing Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women, a discursive moment that essentially forced lawmakers to react publicly. Together, these analyses indicate important differences in how down-ballot candidates communicate about the nominees at the top of the ticket, and complicate the role of these political actors and communicators. Findings of this work have several important implications for our understanding of legislative candidate communication, and offer insight into an understudied area of American political communication.

Wagner who thinks that the Smithsonian Institute is playing favorites. After studying the remarkable life of Nikola Tesla, Wagner, along with his third grade class, started a campaign to educate the world about the obscure electrical genius from Yugoslavia. Wagner and his class wrote many letters to important people asking for their support. A former student persuaded her father, an accomplished sculptor, to create a bust of Tesla for their class. A Third Grade requirement is to learn cursive handwriting, so their class work now had a purpose...writing letters to raise money for their Tesla bust. Unfortunately, most people had never heard of Nikola Tesla. And those who had, seemed not to want to listen. In fact, when the bust of Tesla was finished, Wagner and his class of eager students offered it to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. Dr. Bernard S. Finn, (Curator of the Division of Electricity and Modern Physics) refused, claiming he had no use for the bust.
