The Unconventional Ufologist Ep 4 - Valiant Thor Deep Dive
Manage episode 510931768 series 2855511
Welcome, sentient beings of Earth. Do you ever feel as though you’ve misplaced your keys, your wallet, or perhaps the entire solution to all of your planetary problems? Then you've come to the right place. Tune in for a tale of a man, or at least a being who looked unnervingly like a man, who arrived on Earth with six fingers, no navel, and an IQ so impossibly high it was almost rude.
Meet Valiant Thor, a Venusian diplomat who, in 1957, landed in Alexandria, Virginia, and promptly requested a meeting with the President of the United States. He came not with a death ray, but with a message of peace, offering solutions for everything from nuclear annihilation to environmental destruction. He proposed free energy, universal cures for diseases, and a world without war—a plan so sensible it was, of course, utterly rejected.
In a shocking turn of events, humanity, or at least the powerful handful of it, found that Thor's vision of peace and progress was a direct threat to the very institutions that profited from conflict and scarcity. What followed was a deliberate campaign to bury his existence and label anyone who spoke of him as a crackpot. The world chose bureaucracy and self-interest over salvation, and decades later, we're all living with the unsettling consequences.
Join us as we explore the secrets of a three-year diplomatic mission, the whispers of an ancient cosmic council, and the eerie, prescient warnings that Valiant Thor left behind. It's a story of what could have been, a glimpse into a better future we politely declined, and a reminder that sometimes, the most dangerous thing you can do is offer a completely logical solution.
