A galactic shadow cast on the election.

October surprise? Rumor has it that the Galactic Federation of Light, a fraternity of extraterrestrial beings, will visit our planet today--October 14, 2008. Blogs announced the visitation some time back, and are giddy with anticipation. View the announcement in video form. (Alert! Retinal searing imagery ahead.)
Well, they'll probe ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll probe ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll probe ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll probe ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get probed.

Arcturian ships range from a diving bell-shaped scout ship that varies from about 40 to 75 feet (12.2 to 22.9 meters) in diameter, to a lens-shaped planetary command mother ship that is over 14 miles (22.5 kilometers) in length.

Youtube returns 333 hits for "galactic federation of light". Which is the number 3...three times! Three times three equals nine and nine is the number of star systems which comprise the Galactic Federation of Light!

Physical Appearance: The first variety of Fomalhaut humans closely resembles the so-called "Nordic" type of ETs, and are usually blonde with very blue, hazel or steel-gray eyes. Men are muscular, and around six feet (1.85 meters) tall. Woman are very buxom and range from 5 feet, six inches to just under six feet (1.68 to 1.83 meters) in height.
Really? Because all the Formalhautans I've met were a lot more... erratic in shape.

It would be completely awful if it were true - if New Agey aliens really ruled the universe in such a saccharine fashion.

Australian channeler Blossom Goodchild made good on her prediction: that a massive Extraterrestrial spacecraft and its occupants would visit planet Earth and allow their presence to be known internationally for a minimum of three days.
"Australian channeler Blossom Goodchild". Just 4 words in were enough. Next.

The aftermath on the 10-14-08 blog is interesting. There's no explaining it away, the discussion is all about dealing with the disappointment. No evidence of suicides, which is better than I feared.
Blossom Goodchild, the "channeler" in the middle of this prophecy, posted a heartbreakingly sincere Youtube video. She's quite honest about her disappointment and humiliation and I get the idea she truly believed her own delusions. It's not often you get to see someone's faith completely dismantled in front of you.

Crappy embedded-video scrolling-text messages filled with threadbare new-age buzzwords are not the way the new era will be heralded.
