Although the development of nuclear weapons by different countries was one of the reasons why extraterrestrial civilizations began visiting Earth in the World War II era, a more significant and far-reaching explanation exists.

However, the truth was not shared for decades due to its disturbing nature. Only today do we know the whole truth.

The Earth had become the epicenter of a temporal war involving a future galactic tyranny, whose origins lay in a secret agreement reached by Nazi Germany with a group of extraterrestrials called Draco Reptilians. This agreement resulted in establishing a breakaway German colony in Antarctica that soon gave birth to the nefarious Dark Fleet (Nachtwaffen), which aligned itself with the Draco’s master plan for galactic conquest.

After detecting the sudden emergence of galactic tyranny 350 years in the future, a group of extraterrestrials known as the Andromeda Council notified the Galactic Federation of Worlds and other freedom loving extraterrestrial organizations about the threat posed by contemporary events happening on Earth, its Moon, and Mars.

Thus, a war began involving different extraterrestrial federations, councils, and secret space programs, each striving to steer long-term events on Earth to prevent or bring about this sweeping tyranny that could overtake the galaxy. Both sides have used time travel technologies to influence key individuals, events, and movements on Earth.

Operatives from each side have been embedded into different countries, especially aerospace companies, to help humans build advanced technologies for different secret space programs.

In Galactic Federations, Councils & Secret Space Programs (Book Seven of the Secret Space Program Series), Dr. Michael Salla gives a grand tour of the different extraterrestrial groups and secret space programs involved in the temporal war that has been silently raging around us, unknown to most of humanity. Importantly, he will highlight current events leading to the fulfillment of a very positive and exciting possible Star Trek future where humanity joins the Galactic community.

"The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac is the go to book on life in the universe."
-- George Noory, National Talk Show Host, Coast to Coast AM

This is the ultimate field guide to the 82 extraterrestrial species that populate the universe. Craig Campobasso explores the origins, physical characteristics, technological and consciousness abilities, dimensional capacities, belief systems, and cosmic agendas of each of the species.

The species fall into two categories: 1) benevolent races, which function as the guardians of humanity, whose goals include helping people overcome duality, healing, and protecting; and 2) malevolent races, which are responsible for abductions, cloning, and ultimately domination.

This intergalactic expose delves deep into who the real extraterrestrials are and what they want with the people of Earth.

Reminds me of when I watched the first season of GoT, then devoured all of the books and didn't care to watch the rest because it wasn't faithful enough. Which reminds me,

The only major discrepancy in the first season from what I remember is Little Finger, they absolutely butchered his character from the first episode basically.

I love asoiaf but yeah it's never getting finished and even if it did, nothing will live up to the first three books.

Been a decade since I read it, but I remember book Tyrion being an able warrior and winning a duel on a battlefield, Tywin taking Ned's twohander and reforging it into two blades, one for Joffrey, the other for can't remember who and Daenerys' first wedding night being more... tender and consensual? Too much was left out for my liking. I'm not one of those "where's muh Tom Bombadildo???" types, but they could have done less compressing and it would still have been interesting to the average wiever.

i remember even Martin remarked how the show changed littlefinger's character to this weird machiavellian edgelord while in the books he was the friendliest guy around who only turns out to be a creep when you get deep into the series

To be fair that's one of the better changes in the show, Tyrion is a total mary sue/writers pet in the first couple books.

Yeah his character doesn't really make much sense in the show because right from the beginning everyone knows he's a manipulative sociopath

I finished "The camp of the saints" by Jean Raspail. It is an attempt to cram the social phenomenon of mass immigration into a story spanning just a few weeks and this attempt sometimes leads to unrealistic situations. The book is also incredibly French, if you're hellbent on hating the French you won't like it. But I could enjoy it nevertheless, mainly due to views and expressions that would be called unspeakably racist nowadays. The greatest strength of "The camp of the saints" IMO is the portrayal of the Wests grave diggers, aka self loathing, West hating journalists, politicians and the churches. Real traitors in our midst shit.

Went to a used bookstore in downtown salem last week and actually found some books I liked. First one is a murder mystery but nobody liked the guy that got killed, and the detective has to track down the killer anyways. And other people are claiming responsibility for the murder.
Second one is a medieval murder mystery thing, and I love medieval stuff.
Now discuss if benjamin cohen canonically molesting cream the rabbit is acap or acom below

"Historical fairy tale writing has depicted trolls as having power over kings and demanding tribute and child sacrifice. Sometimes these trolls also hoard mountains of gold in mountains. Modern anti-semitic depictions attribute child sacrifices, government control and wealth hoarding, as well as tunnels, to Jews. In this essay I will..."

I cleaned out most of my books a while ago, so they're not as plentiful as they once were. However, I do enjoy reading on occasion. (My room is messy, I know)
