Karyn Dolan is the host of a website called "Through the Keyhole". In the past abductees were taken, if not by force, by hypnotic suggestion or other means, against their free will. A disturbing trend recently is to have abductees go willingly, without resistance.
In particular, she believes Hollywood talent may utilize television and the media, to impress upon children and adults alike, the existence and acceptance of aliens; whether their agenda is good or bad! Many cartoon episodes could have been used or designed to debunk actual abductions.
With Karyn's help, I looked at the use of television from 1933 to 1969 in my last article, to advance the possible agenda of extraterrestrials toward the acceptance and even worse the indoctrination of children to accept abduction without resistance. I skipped 1970 to 1977 not because programs didn't exist, but because the programs during 1978 to 2002 are even more interesting. (That's just a fancy way to say, Karyn did it and so am I. Ha! ha!)
6. 1978 MORK & MINDY - Although Mork was first introduced to the viewing audience on the television show "Happy Days". In that show, Mork was an alien who attempted to abduct Richie Cunningham. Mork is foiled in his repeated attempts to abduct Richie by the "Fonz". Evidently by the Fonz using the force of his "thumbs up! Mork stayed on Earth, because of his earthly appearance, time traveled to the 1970's and stayed in Boulder, Colorado where he viewed the Earthlings and reported their behavior to his superior, "Orson". Alien commonalities include Alien spaceship (egg shaped), time travel, space travel, human looking aliens living among us and reporting on us, and alien abduction. Trivial Question: Mork & Mindy married in the last season: Who played Mork & Mindy's child and how was the child born?

7. 1986 ALF - ALF, an acronym for Alien Life Form, came to earth to live after his own planet exploded from their inhabitants use of nuclear bombs. ALF crashed into an earthlings garage and they decided to take Alf into their home and hide him from the Alien Task Force (ATF - no comparison to Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms - or is there? ) Most people thought he was cute and furry, but he seems to somewhat resemble the Chupacabras folklore of various countries. In the final episode, he was sent to Area 51.
8. 1997 TELETUBBIES- These are four little, alien looking beings, Tinky Winky, Dopsy, Laa-Laa and Po, dressed in different color jumpsuits, with antennae on their head and a "television" viewing screen on their stomach. When compared to what we know about aliens, similarities include the big round eyes, large, round heads and they live in an underground facility. In a 1997 interview, creator Andy Davenport, mentions the basic idea of the Teletubbies was similar to NASA spacemen walking around in a garden in a magic wood! Karyn feels that an underlying assumption to these characters is, " . . . bringing children to a point of accepting a world with less human contact and more technology is a good thing!"
She may be right on track! Creator Ann Wood further explains, " . . . technology is benevolent and helpful, not something to be afraid of . ." Karyn continues, "Something else appears to decide when they eat, what they eat and how much to eat; it tells them when to sleep, when to get up and when to play and even directs them toward specific toys. . . . There is no warm loving 'Mom' figure to care for them, only an impersonal voice coming out of a machine . There is no contact with another living being who cares for them." All in all, there is a omnipresent being in the heavens which is represented by a baby's face superimposed over the sun. The baby does not speak, but does laugh for reasons unknown. I'm not sure this atmosphere is a representation of how I would raise my children!
Think Teletubbies hasn't had an influence on adults? As an interesting aside, I took a position of employment which sent me to England for training. The CEO was a helicopter pilot which took us in the air for a birds eye view of the country side. He seemed to ignore the castles, the road the Romans built and other land marks and headed straight for the countryside where the Teletubbies was filmed! We spent what seemed like an eternity flying around this green hillside where the Teletubbie episodes were filmed! I guess you can't expect much from a guy who thinks Neil Diamond is the greatest "Country" singer!

9. 2001 INVADER ZIM - Every episode seems to involve ZIM trying to conquer the earth - however incompetently. He is often disguised as a human child and his green skin is dismissed as a "skin condition". The green skin is not uncommon to reports of aliens as is Zim's short size. If you've read Derrel Sims you would know that he had an encounter with a being that had a red light "leaking" out of the edges of its eyes, similar to those of Zim. Invader Zim was taken off the schedule shortly after 911! Hmmm, is there a point here?
10. 2002 LILO & STITCH - This isn't the first time Disney studios has been involved. in the distraction of the public focus from UFOs. Here again, the big black eyes! Stitch is the result of an alien genetic experiment that has fallen to earth and is allowed to stay with humans. The plot? To locate other "experiments" and bring them under control.
11. 2004 BOOBAH - Wow, this one is scary! The censors obviously do not follow the Ufology! From the same people that brought us the Teletubbies, this show was oriented towards older, school age children. The introduction to the show is an orb coming to earth with a rainbow trail and attracting children while flying over 15 different countries. As it lands, five fat beings, with bright colors. which are less human than the Teletubbies, pop out of pod like cocoons. They heads are hairless and feature the big eyes theme with rows of lights for eyebrows. Their speech is not words, but they make noises like squeaks, squeals, and clicks. Hmmm, aren't aliens known for doing this? Remember the movie,"Signs" ? The Boohbahs can retract their heads into their furry necks and they have mouths which remain covered. They are powered and recharged by children's laughter and travel country to country when called by children!
These are just a few examples of how the media can be used to indoctrinate or desensitize children, teens and adults alike to accept the presence of extraterrestrials. No one can say for sure this is happening, but now that it is brought to your attention, look around There are other examples of aliens in the media, such as E.T., Signs, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Wall-e, The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, with my favorite The Day The Earth Stood Still" and coming soon to a theatre near you, Aliens in the Attic. There are also toys like the Alien Hybrid looking Bratz girls.
An alien agenda or not? Be sure of one thing, teach your children that just like humans, they should NOT willingly go anywhere with a stranger, human or alien!
