Local environmental group "Wake Up Dallas" sees global warming as
extraterrestrial struggle (interview included)
By Chad Jones

At first you would think that "Wake Up Dallas" is merely an
environmentalist group working within the Metroplex to raise awareness
for global warming.

Along with many other papers, copies of this flier were handed out at
WUD's crop circle screening. It was also placed as an ad in the DMN
(though it's now). Notice Mr. Creme. A Colonel Sanders joke is in
order but that's too obvious.

They've got a grass-roots campaign: They have rented billboards on
I-75 (the first one facing southbound, the current one facing
northbound), which proclaimed the words: "SAVE THE PLANET." They have
placed an ad in the Dallas Morning News (at left). They host regular
gatherings at the Half-Price bookstore on Northwest Highway. And the
first sentence on their website, wakeupdallas.org, talks about the
"ecological imbalance" of our world.

But, if you look just a smidge closer, it's apparent WakeUpDallas is
not your average gaggle of eco-minded citizens. While their aim is the
same-to voice concern for the Earth's plight and mankind's
contribution toward it-several of their ideas are a little . . .
unconventional:
They believe aliens, referred to as "Space Brothers," exist, and that
they are here to help us save the Earth from destruction
They believe that crop circles are signs of the Space Brothers'
existence
They believe a figure (the deity of all deities) named Maitreya will
save the Earth when it is ready, and that this figure is already
living on Earth in London, awaiting the moment to begin his purpose

Maybe these ideas seem plausible to you. Or maybe they sound like a
steaming pile of crap. Either way, they raise lots of questions, and
there's something to be gained from having a member of the group
answer them. (After all, these guys might be coming to a book or
grocery store near you sometime).
