“I often thought it would have been cool where the Apollo Astronauts would land on the Moon only to find that we’ve been there thousands of years before where they would look at each other and go ‘huh?’”
Read James Hogan’s “Inherit the Stars” for a similar idea. Not Apollo astronauts, but the folks who continued exploring the Moon afterwards.... This is from Baen’s Free Library, Baen being one of the better publishers of science fiction, these days.

Wow, what a thought! Do you think it possibly could have merit?
They used on-site centrifuges. Or was it molecular vacuums? I forget.
Wow! Hadn’t thought of that book in years.
The UNDERWORLD thesis of Hancocks is that during near the end of the Ice Age there arose an advanced stone age coastal civilization - not advanced like they had cars or lasers but advances like the Egyptians and when the great melt happened this far flung coastal civilization/empire was drowned giving rise to the Atlantis myth and other flood myths with the survivors of the coastal flood moving inland to be among the less advanced humans of the inner continents who viewed the more advances coastal dwellers as gods or near gods. What survived are racial memories and some passed down knowledge turned to myth and legends but for the most part real evidence for this civilization is buried under the seas.

I took the “Genius” thing as some sort of irreligious sarcasm but maybe you have it right.

It would indeed. Actually, I think most conspiracy theorists missed their true callings as scifi or thriller writers. This stuff reads like some awesome fiction, but lacks any credibility as fact (as you rightly point out).
It was from the Great Ptarmigan/Rabbit War. Nukes were used by the rabbits against the ptarmigans.
I did.
What a bunch of %#@&!
If Russia takes Iran - they will move on Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, all the way down until they have a clear and unobstructed route into the Indian Ocean. Their influence will then move Westward - something they were trying in the eighties, but really did not know how to approach it.
Why move on a country when the country will destroy itself - makes perfect sense.
The Global Security article points to just that in so many words...makes one think the intel analyst know more than what is put out...

bump to that.
