The Lucifer Project
There is a post at the Universe Today site on a conspiracy that presages dire conseqeunces for humanity.
Apparently, evil scientists at NASA, in cooperation with the Illuminati and who knows what other shadowy groups, are planning to use the plutonium energy source in the Cassini space probe to ignite a fusion reaction when the spacecraft ends its useful life. What they hope to do is turn Saturn into another star (called “Lucifer.”) The purpose is reportedly twofold: To create a new planetary system around Saturn for humans, and to cause an outgassing that will sterilize Earth, or at least wipe out a great portion of the population so that the remaining people will unquestioningly accept a one-world government.
Shades of Alternative 3.
Of course, this is according to people like Richard Hoagland, who in 2003 proposed an almost believable (for the untutored) scenario for the Galileo spacecraft’s reported controlled entry into Jupiter’s atmosphere. Hoagland, building on the theories of a Dutch engineer named Jacco Van der Worp, proposed that the plutonium fuel used to power the probe was supposed to fall into the crushing lower atmosphere of Jupiter and ignite a fusion reaction which would turn the proto-star into an actual “second sun,” a-la Aurthur C. Clarke’s 2010. Obviously, this did not happen, although Hoagland and others point to a mysterious black spot that appeared in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere about a month after Galileo made its death plunge.
Now, the same scenario is proposed for the Cassini craft, which was originally scheduled to take its dive sometime this month, but which has been pushed back to 2010. (Clarke was suspected of being a mason. Maybe he knew something we don’t.)
Posts at various websites are gearing up for the event with fear and trembling, including the ever-popular Michael Salla, who urges public action to prevent this potential catastrophy. These pundits don’t consider the possibility that a scientific analysis of the outcome leaves little doubt that the plutonium fuel has no chance of reaching the stage where it could cause a fusion reaction. Even if it did, the phsyics of planets that didn’t become second stars in the first place makes it unlikely (or indeed impossible) that anything we could do would change this fact.
But scary ideas die hard, and like so many other things in this arena, the source of the rumors can be traced to a passage in William Cooper’s Behold A Pale Horse. Cooper wrote (with absolutely nothing to back it up) that he had seen plans along these lines when he was in the Navy. Cooper is famous for remembering, word for word, reams of secret documents he supposedly read over a decade before he committed them to text in his own writings.
Perhaps I am too quick to judge this miasma of conspiracy, but the thought processes that arrived at the conclusion that the “end is nigh” yet again make me want to laugh more than scream.

It’s not that I think all conspiracies are bs but this is certainly one of the more ludicrous ones I’ve read. By the way, are you following the news about the Large Hadron Collider? There is a Wikipedia page called Safety of the Large Hadron Collider. Kinda hair raising stuff. And I just read this on another board. I’m not saying I buy it- just something to think about:
Prof. Dr. Otto E. Rössler about the Cern LHC and Micro Black Holes, and I quote:
“ …after 50 months the earth to a centimeter would have shrunk. It would be nothing more there, not only no more life, there but also the earth would be… a small black hole.”
Now the 50 months from the Cern LHC startup takes us up to 2012, I’m not normally concerned about end of the world stories as all, obviously, have never come true. But the hype currently surrounding the 2012 Mayan calender and the weird 50 months he mentioned taking us to that date from the Cern start up does make me wonder.

I’ll take “Paranoid Fantasy” for
500, Greg. This notion forgets
the amount of material required for
critical mass (the Cassini spacecraft
has nowhere near enough ) the relative
size of the Saturn ’system’ (If it did
turn into a minor star, I expect its
moons would be mostly expanding puffs
of vapor a couple of seconds after the
event ) and the size of Saturn itself-
it simply doesn’t have the mass to
sustain such a reation.

Still I don’t think Greg should stifle that laugh, tis the best approach to the ever-accelerating end of time scenario. Also Greg — nice pics in Downes’ new book, “Island of Paradise.”

So, you only need 72 lb of plutonium to create a new star?? It seems we have over-estimated the planetary engineers all this time!
“there may have been the possibility that Galileo would crash into one of the Jovian moons, contaminating them and killing any possible extra-terrestrial microbial life. This was a serious concern, especially in the case of Europa which could be a prime location for life to thrive below its ice-encrusted surface.”
How nice that the egg-heads are so conscious of not starting to pollute another celestial body the way we have been degrading our own home world (Chernobyl anyone?)

So, you want to something to be scared of, eh? Try this:
Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that there is some dastardly plot supported by the NASA intelligensia. Let’s also agree that there’s no way under our single sun for any normal probe to instigate the birth of a sun from Jupiter, Saturn, or any other planet.
But what if…
What if the fissile material, U-238, a highly toxic material, was spread over a vast planetary area by atmospheric compression, heating and explosion? That possibility seemed likely enough to spark strong worldwide opposition to, most recently, the New Horizons launch(es) to Pluto and other sites, including the Moon and Mars.
What if the “evil plot” at NASA wasn’t to ignite a new sun, but was instead an attempt to pollute any potential breeding ground for life on other worlds, starting with Jupiter’s and Saturn’s moons, and moving on from there?
Of course, twenty-some-odd pounds of U-238 and -239 wouldn’t do much damage long term to any planet. But it could provide the tipping point in an argument on whether humans could be entrusted with off-world technology. Such an argument — among technologically advanced alien races — has been suggested before as the reason behind the possible denial of our probes to Mars, including ten Russian probes in a row that failed to reach their planned locations.
(BTW: A hilarious Earth-vs-Mars play by play can be found at http://www.bio.aps.anl.gov/~dgore/fun/PSL/marsscorecard.html . As of 2000, the score was Mars 20, Earth 13, with Earth’s heavy hitters just coming to the plate).
The most bizarre failure was that of Fobos-2, whose onboard telemetry suggested it had been shot out of the sky by something oval-shaped coming from the surface of Mars! (Read more at http://www.space.com/sciencefiction/phenomena/fobos_mystery_000630.html) Although the strange oval-looking object that appeared to be heading toward the craft has since been explained away by one scientist as a poor resolution image of the nearby moon Phobos. But the seeds of conspiracy, once sown, grow deep.
The blossoming fable thus unfolding it this: that some rogue elements of NASA are attempting to poison the fertile regions of our solar system, in order to bring some form of alien retaliation down on us. To what end? Why, to put the Earth and humanity in such a bad state that our “protector” must come to our rescue.
Which protector? Why, the great Jesu Christé himself, the returning Messiah, come to fight in the skies against the evil ones, just as Revelations says.
Yeah, I know, sounds like some wild-eyed Hollywood plot.
If only…
