Whitley Strieber talks about how the Romans saw Jesus. Whitley uses the gospels and Roman history to explain what Jesus meant to them and why they executed him, and why they did it in the precise way that they did.

This is a fascinating exploration of the life of Jesus from a viewpoint that is rarely addressed. What was life in Judea like during Jesus’ lifetime? What were the Romans doing? Why were they there? Few people possess the combination of deep and detailed knowledge of both history and the gospels that Whitley has, and the insights in this talk will be of interest not only to Christians, but to anybody who takes an interest in how western civilization actually works, and what it really means.

British Astronomer Royal Martin Rees thinks that aliens may be here but only a few people see them because they are invisible to most of us. This goes along with the information that Anne Strieber received from the half a million letters from contactees that she read: In a group of people, one or two would be contacted (or even abducted!), while the others saw (and experienced) nothing unusual.

The Discovery Channel website quotes Rees as saying, “They could be staring us in the face and we just don’t recognize them. The problem is that we’re looking for something very much like us, assuming that they at least have something like the same mathematics and technology.
