Aliens are served eviction notices in 'District 9'
“Yesterday, I got the chance to watch District 9. I walked out after 20 minutes. While District 9 largely showed extraterrestrials on the receiving end of racist human policies, what most disturbed me was the crude depiction of the extraterrestrials,” writes Michael Salla, Ph.D. for the Honolulu Exopolitics Examiner.
“District 9 was a clever reversal of the invading alien genre that nevertheless succeeds in propagandizing extraterrestrials via negative stereotypes. Together with the upcoming November release of The Fourth Kind, Hollywood is once again resorting to pretty crude depictions of extraterrestrial life,” writes Salla.
Salla asks, “Is there a hidden purpose in movies such as District 9 to propagandize extraterrestrial life?” and “Are government/corporate entities secretly conditioning humanity for future disclosures based on a contrived alien threat?”
“To find answers, I asked world renowned UFO/exopolitics expert, Paola Harris. She has researched UFOs for over thirty years and on September 14 begins teaching an online course on UFOs and Hollywood. Her answers to my eight questions cast light on how Hollywood has historically depicted UFOs and extraterrestrials, and what one will encounter in what promises to be a fascinating online course,” writes Salla.
“What is the significance of recent movies like District 9 and the Fourth Kind that show extraterrestrials in a negative light?”
I think District 9 deals with racism in general and has a positive message. It truly shows what is would be like to be in another person’s shoes. It shows what a dominant culture, with military might, can do to an alien culture whether it is the Black Culture of South Africa or even an “off-world”culture. Any kind of racist judgement : for example, the deciding whether some alien races are “bad” or “good” does not lead to productive galactic diplomacy and that is the core of the Exopolitics. We, as a planetary culture, have a choice about how humanity can integrate into a cosmic community. These films show us the consequences of our choices.
