Well, I'm certainly not a NeverTrump guy — I just don't think that [just] him winning the Presidency is going to magically Make America Great Again. What we need is accountability in government, real Justice and not this there wasn't any intent
excuse crap or the too big to fail
shit.

when worlds collideseems to be interesting, and this is the second or third time I've seen it referenced, so I'll probably see if I can get a copy sometime in the near future -- but history isn't my strong-suit.)
That looks awesome, Cheesy sci-fi’s are my favorite, seriously I could watch them all day long, thanks, gotta catch that one ...
My dad was as straight an arrow as you could find, a top systems engineer on defense projects during the cold war. But he would occasionally mention Velikovsky as something that immensely intrigued him. I think he read it in the 60s and never forgot it. "Catastrophism" he called it, the idea that there were catastrophes that reshaped the earth, perhaps wiping away advanced civilizations and resetting mankind back to zero, over and over.
Going through his library now that he's passed, I find it filled with books on this theme by writers like Zecharia Sitchin (whose ancient astronaut stuff I don't think he bought into but whose recounting of the myths of Sumeria was of great interest) and Graham Hancock (who, based on all the handwritten margin notes, intrigued him immensely). However Velikovsky is missing, something I've regretted as I wouldn't mind skimming it to see what first got him interested.
