A Swastika and the Star of David

Wednesday March 7, 2007
There are many different things that do harm to the study of UFOs. Publishing ridiculously fake photographs, making false reports, and the worst of all: just being a nut. This is what the Raelians are-a bunch of nuts. As you might recall, in 2004, they claimed that they had cloned the first human being, which of course, was an outright lie. This bunch needs watching, and fortunately there is an organization that keeps watch on cults and their activities, Info-Secte from Canada, and the Raelians are on their list. Cults can do some strange things sometimes, just when you least expect it, and this group certainly is capable of just about anything.

Claiming to be a group that studies UFOs, they know nothing about UFOs. Now, this is what gives Ufology a bad name. They are just like the David Koresh group from Waco, Texas. Their leader, Claude Vorhilon, a/k/a Rael, promotes free sex, and free thinking. They will do anything to get attention, and their latest attempt at grabbing headlines is the announcement that they are adopting the German swastika interlaced with the Star of David as their new logo. A lot of sense that makes-Nazis and Jews together. I guess there is some hidden meaning behind this, but I don't even want to know what it is. Remember this: the worst thing of all that the Raelians do is merely exist. Don't ever be pulled in by a bunch of nuts like the Raelians. See a complete report at Raelians revive Swastika/Star of David.

Dear Billy,
I have to say there are many people in the UFO community that also make me nervous. There seems to be some almost cultish actions at some of these conferences. These groups although they differ in some respects do believe in positive thinking that you control your world and make of it with your mind what you want. Negative thinking is a no - no. Those abducted were special people who are really - experience- the ET are from space and other dimensions. Some of this is preached in an almost dogmatic way. They are the money at the conferences this I was told, buying many of the books. Some of them are born again who believe aliens are demons in disguise.

Of course they allow other opinions and many UFO researchers will not really call them on it. But I think they do a disservice because no one knows what their real motives and it whether we like it or not clouds the issue and hurts chances of possible open scientific inquiry.

Have you ever been to these conferences and what do you think?

Thank You
Joseph Capp

Billy, good piece. I feel the same way about the Raelians; I don’t trust them. I find their by their appropriation of The Star of David (or rather, their twisting of the symbol) insulting.

On the surface, the Raelians seem to be about good things: lessening of sexual hang-ups, love, all that stuff. But Rael, in my opinion, is simply an old horny ego maniac with a lot of bigoted leanings and the whole cloing thing creeps me out, for a lot of reasons.

Hello Billy I dont think Raelians are Satanist. If they are going to join forces with Hidu and Buddhists they cant be that bad. Raelians are a different Religion like Wiccans Satanists Rasta etc. I dont think there faith is for me. Amorte Yvonne

I read your comments and it made me laugh, it just shows when someone is talking about something they are completely uneducated about, how it pollutes minds.

The swastika wasn’t a german thing, in fact the American air force used to have it on their planes in world war 1 to bring them luck, the Finnish air force have it on their flags to this day, even Coca Cola used to give small swastika key rings as gifts to their customers. Ancient Jewish synagogues bear the swastika too as well as thousands of Ancient temples all over Asia.

We are an atheist religion so we don’t believe in Satan, Hell, God or heaven.

We are a loving peaceful religion who promote free thinking, not what Bush would rather you do hey!

Before you pass judgement perhaps you should see both sides of the coin.

From a very happy chappy from the UK :)

Billy is a paranoid and uneducated nut. You should never go out of your way to criticize something you know absolutely nothing about. Raelians have a very peaceful and loving ATHEIST religion. Buddhists and Hindus also have used the swastika. Why don’t you take angry, blind potshots at them too? The Navajos used the swastika for good wishes. Why don’t you slam them?

Back away from the buffet table long enough to think rationally. Open your mind instead of your mouth. Insert knowledge and consciousness instead of doughnuts and hoagies.

Raelians used the swastika from day 1. It was altered for a few years out of sensitivity while negotiating with the Israeli government. It’s back in all it’s glory. Representing infinity in time and space. Nothing to be afraid of. Unless you are a fathead, moron. People should put Big Billy Booth on a watch list. He’s the real danger to society. Fat AND ignorant is no way to go through life.

Peace from Vegas.

Dear Billy Booth,
In closing, you said “Remember this: the worst thing of all that the Raelians do is merely exist.”
Well, that does not give us much room to work with then, now does it?
That one statement you made is the epitome of fascist propaganda. How can you be so sure we are bad? How can you be so sure I should not exist? What makes you worthy to even utter such a thing?
God must have spoken to you :)
Contrary to your agenda, Raelians DO exist, and guess what?
We aren’t trying to convince you or anyone else about anything. We inform those who are interested, about our beliefs. If this somehow offends you to the point you feel we shouldn’t exist, then I suggest you examine YOUR belief systems before examining ours!
Have a nice day, and think what you want.
