OVM,
I watched the history channel this morning and was floored at the UFO stuff on the Russians. It brought back a vivid memory I have of sitting in a class room and hearing how the Soviets were working with the space creatures to take over the earth.
I had a soviet politics class a long time ago and the professor was one of these defected soviet NKVD officials. The NKVD proceeded the KGB.
He had a theory that he presented to us out of the blue one bright morning about the Soviet's contact with the space creatures. Outside of the theory, it seemed that he was 'privy' to some info about the ongoing fights between the space creatures and the soviets since the end of the war and they finally met and agree to stop fighting through negotiations.
His continued to explain that between 1955 (the year he left the soviet union) and 1966, the Soviets had help with their space program and was ahead of us in many ways. The Soviets promised when they defeated us, they would give the space creatures the land that we call home today in exchange for the information that they provided to them to advance their space program.
Apparently something happened in '66 when the soviets were without the help (he thought that going from Khrushchev to party rule upset the space creatures) and that is where we advanced ahead of them - we had NAZIs and they had space creatures.
I never took it seriously of the three classes we were being told all of this, here is a 69 year old man from the Soviet Union telling a class of college kids that he actually had to deal with space creatures in order to help his country.
I got to say this too, we spent three days on this one issue to illustrate the point of totalitarian secrecy. I firmly believe that he believed it was 100% true, but to also add he was one of the best political professors I had on a foreign country - his details to how things worked and how he explained them was just unreal ... may be he was one of them space creatures?
