Kimball Back On The Beat?
Paul Kimball’s intelligent and always entertaining blog Above and Beyond (formerly known as “The Other Side Of Truth”) appears to be coming back from the dead like one of the vampires in his film Eternal Kiss, which recently completed principal photography.
Take a look at his latest on starry-eyed UFO researchers who assume that ETs are new age sweetness-and-light beings. It’s definitely the same Paul that we’ve missed lo these six months.
Welcome back!
P.S. If all goes as planned, Paul will be my guest on Radio Misterioso next week (December 7th) along with his co-host Holly Stevens. We’ll discuss his new documentary series on Canadian maritme ghosts.

Perhaps they did indeed survive their nuclear age, but for a different reason - they fought a nuclear war, and someone won. It could have happened here. Oh, sure, it wouldn’t be a win for the people at the time, but in the long term, depending upon who your leaders are, maybe it would be a win in a strategic sense. Wipe out the rest of the Earth, and wait it out underground for a while, or something like that. There are people who would see in that scenario a victory, and in the long run, say a thousand years or so, maybe they would be right.
Or maybe that advanced civilization is a technologically-based fascistic society, where human (er… alien) rights have been slowly done away with, not by war, but by the same kind of slow erosion that we sometimes seem to be dealing with today.
Or maybe they had their equivalent of a Second World War, and the bad guys won. It could have happened here.
Or maybe their species is just plain bad, or at the very least amoral, as far as we would be concerned.
Or… well, you get the picture.
Those scenarios are possible, but our own history teaches us that modern fascistic states do not last very long. Even if they don’t face an external threat, they get eroded from within. Even inside the 3rd Reich there were already plans to kill Hitler, and for pure ‘luck’(?) they weren’t successful; maybe a second attempt would have done the job.
Then again, maybe the aliens are not as passionate and individualistic as us humans; considering that then Paul’s scenarios became much more plausible. Although I do wonder if advanced Science can really flourish with the absence of passion to fuel it.
