"Chesterton, G.K. Eugenics and Other Evils: An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized Society. Edited by Michael W. Perry. Seattle: Inkling Books, 2000. Originally published in 1922, this astonishingly prescient text has much to say about our understanding of eugenics then (and now), and about the mass seduction of pseudoscience. Chesterton's was one of the few voices to oppose eugenics in the early twentieth century. He saw right through it as fraudulent on every level, and he predicted where it would lead, with great accuracy. His critics were legion; they reviled him as reactionary, ridiculous, ignorant, hysterical, incoherent, and blindly prejudiced, noting with dismay that "his influence in leading people in the wrong direction is considerable." Yet Chesterton was right and the consensus of scientists, political leaders, and the intelligentsia was wrong. Chesterton lived to see the horrors of Nazi Germany. This book is worth reading because, in retrospect, it is clear that Chesterton's arguments were perfectly sensible and deserving of an answer, and yet he was simply shouted down. And because the most repellant ideas of eugenics are being promoted again in the twenty-first century, under various guises. The editor of this edition has included many quotations from eugenicists of the 1920s, which read astonishingly like the words of contemporary prophets of doom. Some things never change - including, unfortunately, the gullibility of press and public. We human beings don't like to look back at our past mistakes. But we should."

The UFO Reality Thursday, August 16, 2007 The Alien Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaton (or Akhenaten) was the progenitored offspring of the Sun Disk, or UFO presence in Egypt, circa 1370 BC. The impregnation of Amenhotep III’s wife Tiye by the Sun Disk visitor(s) produced Amenhotep IV who, during his reign, established the worship of the Sun Disk (Aten or Aton). The extraterrestrial birth of Akhenaton prefigured the virgin birth of Jesus, and may have been instigated by the same “god” or race of gods (galactic aliens) that created Mary’s son. (But that for another time.) The consolidation of the many Egyptian gods into the one god, Aton, is considered to be the first actual thrust of monotheism in history.¹ The reign of Akhenaten ended badly – his constructions, works, and visage were effaced, with only remnants extant. The priests of the old gods – Amon in particular – resumed power and authority upon Akhenaton’s “death” during the reign of Tutankhamun (King Tut). But for a brief time, Akhenaton’s god – represented by the Sun Disk – held sway in Egypt, just as the god of Moses (Yahweh) held sway not far from the Egyptian kingdom in the same time frame. Moses was human; Akhenaton was not. His physical being, as shown in the art works still intact which commemorated him, indicated a hybrid: elongated head (like those found in the Americas among the Mayans and Incan peoples) and androgynous features (breasts, extended stomach, small frame). Moses became an advocate for his god but Akhenaton became an actual surrogate for the Sun God, just as Jesus did for His God 1300 years later. The alien thrust in the Mesopotamian region was hefty. God-like humans proliferated (Gilgamesh, Hercules, ?son)² but only Akhenaton left a definite legacy. Extraterrestrials inserted themselves in the early history of man, worldwide, but then disappeared, generally, until the modern era which seems to be duplicating the prior attempts to mate with humans as evidenced by alien/UFO abduction accounts. But these current intrusions end just as futilely as that involving the pharaoh Akhenaton (or even Jesus/Christ). The gods can’t seem to get a foothold in human civilization. Something or someone else makes sure that the Sun Disk doesn’t assume prominence, not for Akhenaton nor for present day abductees, persons with far less power and authority than the Sun Pharaoh. And grist for investigation is what or who is that force that prevents and has prevented the ascendancy and worship of the alien intruders mistaken for God or gods. The UFO mystery is not where the answer lies; it’s somewhere outside the flying saucer phenomenon. 1. The Great Religious Leaders by Charles Francis Potter [Simon and Schuster, NY 1958] 2.
