I heard part of this program while doing housework.
But WTF, I completely missed this cockamamie Stalin/Mengele story. That's a pretty funny punchline for a program that included the usual sneers at "conspiracy theory." So, Mengele, who escaped Europe to live incognito in US-backed military dictatorships in Argentina and Paraguay, was actually "enlisted" by the Soviets to "genetically engineer" children into pretend aliens, a full six years before Watson and Crick published The Double Helix and while the USSR was still under the sway of Lysenko. Not bad! Nazis and Soviets teaming up, stealth flight technology, genetic engineering. Sounds like Team B went back in time to try to make up the Soviet threat of their wet dreams.
And now we remember that Jacobsen is the fabricator of the odious 2004 "Muslim big-band terrorists on a plane" hysteria tale.
And she was on Stewart too. Nice roll-out.
Here's my pet theory I don't actually believe: it's an experiment to see how willing people are to believe obvious bottom-of-the-barrel conspiratainment fiction when the liberal radio lady is pushing it as though it were scholarship, rather than calling it crazy.
What I did hear from the program were the even crazier but undeniably true stories about the nuclear tests, including the intentional crashing of a load of plutonium into the ground to see how it would spread, and the resulting irreversible contamination of a large area. Very fucked up stuff. Reminds you we're now in the seventh decade of states justifying piecemeal nuclear holocaust to themselves, part of the reason why such great feats of denial are possible with the ongoing Fukushima meltdowns.

And National Geographic! What is wrong with these people (besides that they think this crap makes money)? You could make a great documentary about government and UN plans for extraterrestrial visits, but watch the video clip about the actual invasion scenario: The motherships from Independence Day hover over the cities and drop the kill-bots from War of the Worlds (Spielberg version), and like both of those movies, it's actually about Americans projecting their own inner war monster on to an alien fiction that they can pretend is not them. A military guy even talks about how the Bad Aliens will surely want to use "Shock and Awe" tactics to cow the population. I wonder if that's because it's such an advanced strategy in his mind?
We're told the F16s have no chance in the dogfight with the F16-sized alien fighter vehicles, since the aliens have superior propulsion systems we can't even conceive of. Long as they're pulling everything they say out of their ass, why do they bother having the aliens shoot people on the street? Why not just blindly speculate that such advanced aliens will surely have a way to instantly enslave or kill everyone?
I know, they could pose as God, and command us to kill ourselves. Maybe that's what they've already done?
