Deus Ex Alpha Centauri: Buy Euros Now As SETI May Have Discovered Aliens

Tyler Durden's picture




It just may turn out that Europe's strategic "plan" of kicking the can down the road indefinitely, or at least until aliens can come down and bail out the global central banking cabal - aka the Deus Ex Alpha Centauri plan - may have worked! In a rather curious announcement, the SETI website of UC Berkeley has announced that it has found signals that "look similar to what we think might be produced from an extraterrestrial technology. They are narrow in frequency, much narrower than would be produced by any known astrophysical phenomena, and they drift in frequency with time, as we would expect because of the doppler effect imposed by the relative motion of the transmitter and the receiving radio telescope." And in the off case that said aliens prove to have an atavism to rude European waiters, at least Paul Krugman will be delighted: after all there is nothing better for the economic voodoo shamans out there than intergallactic warfare. Then again, since Keynesianism appears to be a popular universal delusion, we wouldn't be surprised if it is us who ends up having to bailout them...

From SETI at UC Berkeley:

We've started searching our Kepler SETI observations and our analyses have generated some of our first candidate signals. Each of the signals below is shown in a pair of plots, one from an observation of Kepler Object of Interest (KOI) 817 and one from an observation of KOI-812. During an observation, we alternated between targets to enable us to rule out signals seen coming from two different places in the sky. If we see a signal coming from multiple positions on the sky, like the ones below, it is very likely to be interference. The signals below are undoubtedly examples of terrestrial radio frequency interference (RFI).

What do these plots represent?

These are plots of electromagnetic energy as a function of frequency and time. Brighter colors represent more radio energy at a particular time and frequency. For example, a radio station transmitting at 101.5 MHz would produce a large amount of energy near that frequency.

Why are these signals interesting?

These signals look similar to what we think might be produced from an extraterrestrial technology. They are narrow in frequency, much narrower than would be produced by any known astrophysical phenomena, and they drift in frequency with time, as we would expect because of the doppler effect imposed by the relative motion of the transmitter and the receiving radio telescope.

What's next?

These first results are tests of the algorithms we'll apply to all our observations of Kepler planets. During the coming weeks, we'll be posting more of our results as we process the nearly 50 TB of data we collected in early 2011.

***Breaking News***

Obama Administration to consider Krugman's '2012 Keynesian Uranus Citizenry Defense Omnibus Stimulus Bill' on the news of hostile extraterrestrial threats to invade earth and/or close the Straits of Hormuz, via recently decoded transmissions intercepted using Graco Baby Monitors placed by UC Berkeley Scientists on Deep Space 9 Kraken Station.

 

As an aside, at least one Berkeley scientist is openly endorsing the plurality view that said hostile extraterrestrials may be attemtping to signal Yeti, Nessie & Mothra, in terms of stirring an alliance to help prepare for the landing of their pods having doppelganger technology.

 

Unconfirmed for the time being.

"Take us to your banker, debt-serf" will be their first words.

BREAKING NEWS

Princeton, NJ -- Upon potential discovery of alien life, we asked Nobel Prize* winning economist Paul Krugman what he thought about the development.  "Its great," he said, "I just hope they aren't friendly!"  

*Not actually a Nobel Prize but rather a phony award sponsored by the oldest central bank on the planet.

Krugman probably wants to argue with them about barbarous relics...... "no you fucking backward alien, I don't care if you just flew here faster than the speed of light, Gold is for philistines, this paper has inherent value........why? how?..... because I fucking say so....look at my medal....."

If you didn't think Krugman was a nut before reading this paper, then you MUST read it.

If you already thought he was a nut, then you can pass on reading this (unless you feel that your opinion needs some more solidifying fact to back it up)

If the Annunaki really did came here 6000 years ago to create the Sumerians so that the Sumerians could mine Gold for them, then indeed, the Universe must be run by Bankers... Good Christ, we're fucked.

Wow.  Just wow.  This kind of thing makes it even more likely that Krugman's NWO buddies will give us some kind of alien false flag this year.  The usual lies and distractions are becoming less effective so they will have to go big.  The "Annunaki" will show up and say "Pathetic weak and squabbling humans with no world government: By decree of Lord Cthulhu, you are to give us 10,000 metric tons of gold in exchange for Cthulhu Credits- and our promise not to devour your souls!" Just pray this stunt ends with a Scooby-Doo-style unmasking on the White House lawn.

Most of the real aliens see us as repulsive Vogon/Ferengi hybrids and they wouldn't touch us with a 10-light-year pole.  If we're lucky, maybe alien hippies will shoot down Israel's nukes after Israel pulls the "Samson option" after Ron Paul throws them under the bus.  I am so pulling for this.  "Where is your God now, bitches?"

When the alien invaders come to grips with the Fractional Reserve Banking Ponzi that's been bleeding the planet for so long, they'll see earth as a total loss, and they'll beam themselves up en masse to get the hell out of here as quickly as extraterrestrial-ly possible.

I suggest engraving the likeness of The Bernank on top of a high altitude plateau, in very large font, as a far more inexpensive method of warding off hostile intergalaxy invaders.

That's equivalent to the univeral signal that "this planet's been harvested already."

Sorry to jump to the top - but if you go to the UCB SETI website you'll find that the OP forgot to post this part of the text:

"We know these signals are interference, but look similar to what we think might be produced from an extraterrestrial technology."

These results are merely being viewed as a positive test for their search algorithems.
