Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims that NASA is

attempting to implement a New Age religion with the Antichrist at its head
and start a New World Order, via a technologically-simulated Second
Coming.

The allegations were presented in 1994 by Quebecois journalist and

conspiracy theorist Serge Monast, and later published in his book Project What THEY don't want

Blue Beam (NASA). Proponents of the theory allege that Monast and another you to know!

Structure
Project Blue Beam has all the usual hallmarks of a conspiracy theory:

It attempts to shoehorn events that have happened, and are happening, into its "predictive" framework,
particularly with references to films being used to prepare people psychologically for the conspiracy's
dramatic conclusion.
 It shows a lack of comprehension of the practical
psychology of those who are not paranoid.[4]
It plays on fears of alleged advanced technology that
most people, including its author, do not understand.

The theory cobbles together past conspiracy tropes, starting

from paranoia and progressing to technologically implausible
plans with motivations that literally do not make any sense.

The theorist's death from a middle-age heart attack cut off its
possible spread early and left it short on source material in
English — though there is the tantalizing promise of several Monast on Ésotérisme Expérimental speaking to
books' worth in French — but did cap the theory off nicely. host Richard Glenn in the early 1990s. Dig that
conspiracy theorist beard.
Propagation
The theory is widely popular (for a conspiracy theory) on the Internet, with many Web pages dedicated to the
subject, and countless YouTube videos explaining it. The actual source material, however, is very thin indeed.

Monast lectured on the theory in the mid-1990s (a transcript of one such lecture is widely available), before writing
and publishing his book, which has not been reissued by his current publisher and is all but unobtainable. However,
a three-page summary of the theory, apparently penned by Monast himself, appeared in his French-language
periodical RINF (Réseau international de nouvelles par fax) at the end of 1994.[5] The currently available pages
and videos all appear to trace back to four documents:

A transcript of the 1994 lecture by Monast, translated into English.[3]

A GeoCities page[6] written by David Openheimer and which appears to draw on the original book.
A page on educate-yourself.org, compiled in 2005, which appears to include a translation of the book from
the French.[1]
Monast's page in French Wikipedia.[7] The French Wikipedia article is largely sourced from two books on
conspiracy theories and extremism by Pierre-André Taguieff, a mainstream academic expert on racist and
extremist groups.[note 2]

From these few texts have come a flood of green ink, in text and video form, in several languages. Even the French
language material typically does not cite the original book but the English language pages on educate-yourself.org.
However, conspiracy theorists seem to use quantity as a measure of substance (much as alternative medicine uses
appeal to tradition) and never mind the extremely few sources it all traces back to.[8]

Proponents of the theory have extrapolated[note 3] it to embrace HAARP,[9] 9/11,[10] the Norwegian Spiral,[11]
chemtrails,[12][13] FEMA concentration camps[14] and Tupac Shakur.[15] Everything is part of Project Blue Beam.
It's well on its way to becoming the Unified Conspiracy Theory.

Behold A Pale Horse, William Cooper's 1991 green ink magnum opus, has lately been considered a prior claim of,
hence supporting evidence for, Blue Beam by advocates. The book is where a vast quantity of now-common
conspiracy memes actually came from, so retrospectively claiming it as prior evidence is somewhere between
cherrypicking and the Texas sharpshooter fallacy. However, the following quotes, from pages 180-181, intersect
slightly with the specific themes of Blue Beam:
 It is true that without the population or the bomb problem the elect would use some other excuse to bring about
the New World Order. They have plans to bring about things like earthquakes, war, the Messiah, an extra-
terrestrial landing, and economic collapse. They might bring about all of these things just to make damn sure
that it does work. They will do whatever is necessary to succeed. The Illuminati has all the bases covered and
you are going to have to be on your toes to make it through the coming years.

Can you imagine what will happen if Los Angeles is hit with a 9.0 quake, New York City is destroyed by a
terrorist-planted atomic bomb, World War III breaks out in the Middle East, the banks and the stock markets
collapse, Extraterrestrials land on the White House lawn, food disappears from the markets, some people
disappear, the Messiah presents himself to the world, and all in a very short period of time? Can you imagine?
The world power structure can, and will if necessary, make some or all of those things happen to bring about
the New World Order.

The theory

“ Without a universal belief in the new age religion, the success of the new world order will be

”
impossible!

The alleged purpose of Project Blue Beam is to bring about a global New Age religion, which is seen as a core
requirement for the New World Order's dictatorship to be realised. There's nothing new in thinking of religion as a
form of control, but the existence of multiple religions, spin-off cults, competing sects and atheists suggest that
controlling the population entirely through a single religion isn't particularly easy. Past attempts have required
mechanisms of totalitarianism such as the Inquisition.

Monast's theory, however, suggests using sufficiently advanced technology to trick people into believing. Of
course, the plan would have to assume that people could never fathom the trick at all — something contested by
anyone sane enough not to swallow this particular conspiracy.

The primary claimed perpetrator of Project Blue Beam is NASA, presented as a large and mostly faceless
organization that can readily absorb such frankly odd accusations, aided by the United Nations, another old-time
boogeyman of conspiracy theorists.

According to Monast, the project has four steps:

Step One
Step One requires the breakdown of all archaeological knowledge. This will apparently be accomplished by faking
earthquakes at precise locations around the planet. Fake "new discoveries" at these locations "will finally explain to
all people the error of all fundamental religious doctrines", specifically Christian and Muslim doctrines.

This makes some degree of sense, if you want to usurp a current way of thinking you need to completely destroy it
before putting forward your own. However, religious belief is notoriously resilient to things like facts. The Shroud
of Turin is a famous example that is still believed by many to be a genuine shroud of Jesus as opposed to the
medieval forgery that it has been conclusively shown to be. Prayer studies, too, show how difficult it is to shift
religious conviction with mere observational fact. Indeed, many theologians avoid making falsifiable claims or
place belief somewhere specifically beyond observation to aid this. So what finds could possibly fundamentally
destroy both Christianity and Islam, almost overnight, and universally all over the globe? Probably nothing. Yet,
this is only step one of an increasingly ludicrous set of events that Project Blue Beam predicts will occur.
Step Two

Step Two involves a gigantic "space show" wherein three-

dimensional holographic laser projections will be beamed all
over the planet — and this is where Blue Beam really takes off.
The projections will take the shape of whatever deity is most
predominant, and will speak in all languages. At the end of this
light show, the gods will all merge into one god, the Antichrist.

This is a rather baffling plan as it seems to assume people will

think this is actually their god, rather than the more natural
twenty-first century assumption that it is a particularly opaque
Coca Cola advertisement. Evidence commonly advanced for
this is a supposed plan to project the face of Allah, despite its
contradiction with Muslim belief of God's uniqueness, over
Baghdad in 1991 to tell the Iraqis to overthrow Saddam The sky projections will appear to people as their
Hussein. Someone, somewhere, must have thought those god.
primitive, ignorant non-Western savages wouldn't have had
television or advertising, and would never guess it was being
done with mirrors.[4] In general, pretty much anything that either a) involves light or b) has been seen in the sky
has been put forward as evidence that Project Blue Beam is real, and such things are "tests" of the technology —
namely unidentified flying objects. Existing display technology such as 3D projection mapping and holograms are
put forward as foreshadowing the great light show in the sky.

This stage will apparently be accomplished with the aid of a Soviet computer that will be fed "with the minute
physio-psychological particulars based on their studies of the anatomy and electro-mechanical composition of the
human body, and the studies of the electrical, chemical and biological properties of the human brain", and every
human has been allocated a unique radio wavelength. The computers are also capable of inducing suicidal
thoughts.[16] The Soviets are (not "were") the "New World Order" people. Why NASA would use a Soviet
computer when the USSR had to import or copy much of its computer technology from the West is not detailed.

The second part of Step Two happens when the holograms result in the dissolution of social and religious order,
"setting loose millions of programmed religious fanatics through demonic possession on a scale never witnessed
before." The United Nations plans to use Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" as the anthem for the introduction of the new
age one world religion.[1][note 4]

There is relatively little to debunk in this, the most widely remembered section of the Project Blue Beam
conspiracy, as the idea is so infeasible. Citing actual existing communication technology is odd if the point is for
the end product to appear magical, rather than just as cheap laser projections onto clouds. This hasn't stopped some
very strange conspiracy theories about such things popping up.[note 5] Indeed, the notion of gods being projected
into the sky was floated in 1991 by conspiracy theorist Betty J. Mills.[17] And US general (and CIA shyster
extraordinaire), Edward Lansdale, actually floated a plan to fake a Second Coming over Cuba to get rid of
Castro.[18]

Step Three

Step Three is "Telepathic Electronic Two-Way Communication." It involves making people think their god is
speaking to them through telepathy, projected into the head of each person individually using extreme low
frequency radio waves. (Atheists will presumably hear an absence of Richard Dawkins.) The book goes to some
lengths to describe how this would be feasible, including a claim that ELF thought projection caused the depressive
illness of Michael Dukakis' wife Kitty.

Step Four
Step Four has three parts:

1. Making humanity think an alien invasion is about to occur at every major city;
2. Making the Christians think the Rapture is about to happen;
3. A mixture of electronic and supernatural forces, allowing the supernatural forces to travel through fiber
optics, coax, power and telephone lines to penetrate all electronic equipment and appliances, that will by then
all have a special microchip installed.[19]

Then chaos will break out, and people will finally be willing, perhaps even desperate, to accept the New World
Order. "The techniques used in the fourth step is exactly the same used in the past in the USSR to force the people
to accept Communism."

A device has apparently already been perfected that will lift enormous numbers of people, as in a Rapture. UFO
abductions are tests of this device.

Project Blue Beam proponents believe psychological preparations have already been made, Monast having claimed
that 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars and the Star Trek series all involve an invasion from space and all nations
coming together[3] (the first two don't, the third is peaceful contact) and that Jurassic Park propagandises evolution
in order to make people think God's words are lies.

The New World Order according to Monast

The book detailed the theory. In the 1994 lecture, Monast detailed what would happen afterwards.[3]

All people will be required to take an oath to Lucifer with a ritual initiation to enter the New World Order. Resisters
will be categorised as follows:

1. Christian children will be kept for human sacrifice or sexual slaves.

2. Prisoners to be used in medical experiments.
3. Prisoners to be used as living organ banks.
4. Healthy workers in slave labour camps.
5. Uncertain prisoners in the international re-education center, thence to repent on television and learn to glorify
the New World Order.
6. The international execution centre.
7. An as yet unknown seventh classification.

The actual source of the theory

Joel Engel's book Gene Roddenberry: The Myth and the Man Behind Star Trek was released in 1994, shortly before
Monast's lecture on Project Blue Beam:

“ In May 1975, Gene Roddenberry accepted an offer from Paramount to develop Star Trek into a
feature film, and moved back into his old office on the Paramount lot. His proposed story told of a
flying saucer, hovering above Earth, that was programmed to send down people who looked like

”
prophets, including Jesus Christ.
All the steps of the conspiracy theory were in the unmade mid-'70s Star Trek film script by Roddenberry, which
were recycled for the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Devil's Due, broadcast in 1991.[20]

There is no evidence of deliberate fraud on Monast's part; given his head was quite thoroughly full of squirrels and
confetti by this time, it's entirely plausible that he thought this was the revelation of secret information in a guise
safe for propagation.[note 6] However, the actual source was so obvious that even other conspiracy theorists
noticed.[21] They confidently state it was obvious that Monast had been fed deceptive information by the CIA. Of
course!
