[As] we were going across the street, we were not terribly far from the World Trade Center building, the south tower. As we were cutting across a, a quarantine zone actually, the building began disintegrating. And we heard it and looked up and started to see elements of the building come down and we ran, and honestly it was like a scene out of Independence Day. -- Ron Insana, MSNBC reporter
Fire from the sky. Attacks on skyscrapers. Buildings collapse as thousands flee through the streets. If the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, seemed strangely familiar, it is because we saw it before, in the 1996 movie Independence Day, in which aliens attacked our world. To understand why al-Qaeda appeared, at least subconsciously, to follow the script of the movie, we need to understand the symbolism of both the movie Independence Day and the phenomenon of alien abductions.
Consider the classic abduction experience. The abductee first sees a bright light similar to the "light at the end of the tunnel" related by people who have had near-death experiences — evidence of a spiritual encounter. The victim is then raised into a UFO where he or she lies paralyzed on an examination table. Aliens in this "clinic" poke the abductee's body with instruments and extract reproductive material. The aliens are described as having fetal-like characteristics: hairless, small bodies with underdeveloped limbs and large heads.
Angry spirits This evidence points to one conclusion. The "aliens" are the spirits of aborted fetuses who have come back to haunt us. They are forcing people to share the humiliating and painful experience of being aborted. The "alien" appearance is part of the spiritual message: We treat the fetus like it isn't human. Yet the most alien feature — the large black eyes — has a counterpart in the womb. At six weeks, the eyes of the fetus are wide open and black, without eyelids or irises.
The 1993 movie Fire in the Sky, about a logger's claim that he was abducted by aliens, is nearly literal in depicting the abductee as a fetus. Inside the "spaceship," the abductee breaks out of a placenta-like casing and then floats in a womb-like cavern while grasping what appears to be an umbilical cord.
The similarity between the abduction aliens and fetuses was also noted by Matt Graeber in the Summer 1996 issue of UFO Sightings. In the article "UFO Abductions: Nocturnal Terror," he observed, "Many female abductees are persons who have suffered the loss of a child through miscarriage or they may have terminated a pregnancy (or pregnancies) by clinical abortion . . . How odd it seems that the 'fetus-like aliens' should be 'so caught up' with gynecological procedures and genetic experimentation upon American earth women at precisely the same point in time we Americans are so obsessed with the abortion issue."
While Graeber suggested that alien abduction imagery is generated by internal psychological conflict, I argue that the experience represents contact with the spiritual world.
Through abortion, we summoned a dark goddess, a Terrible Mother. The movie Independence Day, with its fiery destruction wrought by aliens, was a symbolic warning we ignored. Early in the film, we learn that alcoholic crop duster Russell Casse (Randy Quaid) had been abducted by aliens a decade ago. Millions of these aliens, the murdered unborn, have returned in a new womb, a "mothership" of death.
Metaphor became reality. The Terrible Mother guided the hands of the terrorists, the aliens who abducted the airline passengers. A shadow fell across the land as the pregnant goddess squatted over America. Dilate, fire breaks. Hell poured from the heavens on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Through abortion, we had the freedom to choose death, and death has chosen us.
Let the guilty pay. It's Independence Day. — Martina McBride
Prophecy In March 2006, while cleaning out some old files, I discovered a press release, "Truth About Alien Abductions Can Put Dole in White House," I had written during the 1996 Presidential election. In the release, mailed to several newspapers and the Bob Dole campaign office, I suggested that the Republican candidate could win the election if he alerted the public to the abduction-abortion connection. Citing imagery from Independence Day, I warned, "If we elect another President who ignores the holocaust of abortion, a shadow will fall across America. Hell will pour from the heavens and a fire storm of civil war and terrorism will sweep the nation."
The press release was dated September 11, 1996.
