Don’t miss the Olympic Closing Ceremony onAugust 12th -- it's rumored to be out of this world. That's because there's a strange conspiracy theory going around that a fake alien attack will be staged at the Summer Olympics in London.

A combination of special effects and holographic technology will be used to create the illusion of an alien invasion, the rumor claims. To counter the apparent threat to humanity, the powers that be will declare martial law and usher in a New World Order...

In order to soften up the public to the possibility of an actual invasion, we have been psychologically prepared by years of exposure to alien invasion sci-fi movies and documentaries. Now we are purportedly primed to sacrifice anything to save our home planet.

Just as some people believe that  9/11 was a “false flag” attack created to justify the suppression of America's civil liberties, there are those who think this “false flag alien invasion” is based on the same principle -- but on an even bigger scale.

Believers cite a passage from Ronald Reagan’s 1987 address to the United Nations as a clue:

 “I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.”

I’m personally skeptical about all this, but there is no way to prove the plan wasn’t in the works. After all, if it doesn’t happen, proponents will argue that by disclosing the dastardly details, they prematurely exposed and thus thwarted the New World Order’s fiendish plans.
