Oh. darn. There was a clever post about that a little while back... let me do a quick search..

Apparently... in WW2, when different armies took over Pacific Islands the natives saw them bring in lots of goods and cargo. They benefitted from this a tiny bit.

When the war was also the cargo stopped coming, and many decided they could do the same thing the foreigners had done and they would get the cargo like the foreigners.

There were instances where natives would clear airfields and build bamboo control towers, complete with bamboo antenna's and they would even wear 'headphones' while they call in the cargo.

This went on for decades apparently, cults actually sprang up with the natives trying to will in the cargo from the skies just like the foreigners who occupied the islands in the war.

Kind of like UFO enthusiasts.

That's incredible! I can believe it though.

There are still so many billions in the world (Muslims especially) that are so superstitious and would believe anything.

Again, like the UFO folks.

My favorite is the groupthink. Notice that, after Communion came out, ALL aliens now look the same? And ALL "abduction" stories are the same? It's like the near death folks and their stories...all the same.

In early January of 1997 I had a nasty automobile accident and totally lost my left ankle. Those responding freaked by the bruises I got from the seat belt and decided to take me to the Vanderbilt trauma center miles away rather than the hospital just three blocks away.

So I get to the emergency room and they start their trauma procedures. I get at least 3 doctors and 3 nurses doing things to me. They all are dressed in white and have masks on under those plastic shields they now wear with all the head gear of mirrors, lights, etc.

They decide to do a spinal tap and, of course, have to enter me, uh, anally. At this point I said, "Now I know what all these alien abduction people have really gone through"! Everyone in the room died laughing and I was screaming..."No anal probes...no anal probes!".

One doctor looked at me and said, "you are a better man than I to have such a sense of humor at at time like this". No big deal to me, I had no choice! lol
