Jupiter Ascending & The Mainstreaming of Alien Conspiracy Culture

Jupiter Ascending is an interesting, fun Sci-Fi flick. The name is a play on an astrological term and on the name of the main character's name and progress/development. The most interesting details of the movie though are those it has picked up from the popular culture acceptance of conspiracy culture. To an extent, the movie "mainstreams" both the existence of Grey and Reptilian Aliens, as well as the tropes surrounding them. The Greys are small, devious, operate in medical (specifically reproductive) facilities, and use levitation to apprehend their "subjects." The Reptilians are hierarchical, winged, scary-looking, and militant.

The writers couldn't have done a better job mainstreaming these aspects of alien culture if they'd tried. This raises the question among the conspiracy community: "Is this part of the ongoing disclosure project."

V 1983 & 2009, Part One: Reptilian Aliens & Conspiracy Culture

I watched the V and V: The Final Battle this weekend in anticipation of the debut of tonight’s series. It was ten and a half hours of my life extremely well spent, and the 25-year-old show has held up well though the special effects leave a bit to be desired. I believe it speaks much to the cultural state of Reagan’s America in 1984and will point out the cultural memes prevalent in the two mini series and I’ll compare these with what I observe in the first few episodes of the 2009 V series.

V and the Conspiracy Culture
In terms of conspiracy culture, V 1983 marks the first time the MSM-Entertainment Complex used Reptilian aliens as the main galactic villains, a meme prevalent, but debatable among conspiracy culture insiders. This introduction of the Reptilian meme comes just 6 years after Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind , and two years after his E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial introduced mainstream culture to what have become known as the Greys.
