in 2003 using the pretext of saddam hussein having weapons of mass destruction
and his alleged connections to al qaeda the united states invaded iraq
my fellow citizens at this hour american and coalition forces are in the early
stages of military operations to disarm iraq to free its people
and to defend the world from grave danger on my orders coalition forces have begun
striking selected targets of military importance to undermine saddam hussein's ability to wage war
these are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign
after years of military operations more than one million iraqis were killed as a result
of the invasion and the subsequent occupation of the country iraq descended into sectarian strife
after the u.s occupiers dismantled hussein's government and its military apparatus the chaos
helped give rise to the islamic state group through its predecessor al-qaeda in iraq many
observers believe seizing iraq's oil reserve and austin hussein were the primary reasons for the
u.s lead invasion but what if they were wrong what if there really was a weapon of mass destruction
of unprecedented power what if saddam hussein had a stargate that's the real reason for the invasion
of iraq according to author michael salla let's find out if any of this is remotely plausible
hello i'm mike droberg a marine corps veteran filmmaker history enthusiast and investigator
of the supernatural and we will answer these questions on today's episode of forgotten history
dr salla an australian national obtained his m.a in philosophy from the university of melbourne and
then his doctorate in government from the university of queensland in 1993 after spending two years
as an associate at the center for middle eastern and central asian studies in australia he joined
the faculty of the department of political science at the australian national university
in canberra as a lecturer salla began his stargate theory by presenting proof of historical
extraterrestrial occupation in iraq he states the strongest available evidence for a historical e.t
presence in iraq comes from uniform tablets directly recording the beliefs and activities
of the ancient sumerians whose civilization began almost overnight in 3800 bc most of these
cuneiform tablets relate stories of the sumerians interacting with their gods archaeologists
initially accepted that these were merely myths and attached little importance to them other
than giving them insight into the mythology and religious beliefs of the ancient sumerians that
viewpoint received a major challenge in 1976 when the sumerian scholar zecharia sitchin published
the first series of books on his translations of thousands of sumerian tablets rather than treating
the stories of the gods as myths that had little empirical relevance sichen interpreted the tablets
as literal descriptions of events as they occurred in the time sitchin's translations of the sumerian
cuneiform tablets revealed precise information on a range of topics that he argued could not
have been possible for a civilization at the initial stages of its development with no obvious
predecessor civilization to borrow from according to stitching the sumerians had detailed knowledge
of all the planets in the solar system understood the procession of the equinoxes and also had an
understanding of complex medical procedures and that all their knowledge came from a race of
extraterrestrial visitors known as the anunnaki those who from heaven to earth came who were not
only teachers for the sumerians but also played a role in the creation of the human race so what do
the sumerians and the anunnaki from 3800 bc have to do with saddam hussein in the invasion of iraq
well according to salla the u.s led 2003 invasion of iraq was launched because the former dictator
saddam hussein had a portal to an alien world he believes that the united states and his allies
invaded the country to take control of hussein's access to alien weapons through the stargate salah
stated according to the british newspaper the daily star i think that was a big part of the
reason why the bush administration went to iraq to stop hussein from revealing this information
and to also get control of the stargate for themselves salla says the portal was located
under one of iraq's ancient ziggurat temples he believes that the u.s russia germany and france
have been aware that the annunaki left behind some very high-tech apparatuses and possibly weaponry
when they abandoned earth around 1700 bc and that saddam hussein getting assistance from russian
german and french archaeological teams for years an attempt to unravel and perhaps reverse engineer
this apparatus which salad claims is probably far in advance of any technology we might have
obtained the graze from zetta reticuli and which is supposedly warehoused at area 51 in nevada
so what is the exact significance of the stargate and why did the u.s want it so badly according to
salah on the part of the hussein regime control the stargate would allow him to activate it and to
fulfill prophecy by facilitating the return of the advanced race of ets the elite and unaki saddam
hussein probably imagined that in return for his loyalty to the anunnaki he would be rewarded
with some position of great global authority perhaps he would even see himself as some kind of
human savior facilitating the return of the gods would solve all of humanity's problem and end the
rule of the clandestine government organizations perpetuating non-disclosure of the e.t presidents
so what proof is there that the stargate even existed he notes the powerful diplomatic support
given by germany and france to the hussein regime in warding off a preemptive military strike
so powerful has been this support that the u.s secretary of defense donald rumsfeld
disparagingly referred to them as old europe in response to a reporter on january 22
2003 you're thinking of europe and germany and france i don't i think that's old europe if you
look at the entire nato europe today the center of gravity is shifting to the east there are a lot of
new members but you're right germany has been a problem and france has been a problem rather than
backtracking what was a diplomatic bombshell the bush administration has instead continued to go to
extraordinary lengths to isolate the german french positions on iraq for example the administration
encouraged the leaders of spain portugal italy the united kingdom hungary poland denmark
and the czech republic to write a letter to the wall street journal on january 30th that said the
iraqi regime and its weapons of mass destruction represent a clear threat to world security this is
indeed some strong evidence against france and germany but where is the stargate now some in
the middle east ufo community theorized that task force 20 which had been conducting commando raids
north of baghdad found the stargate in addition to the elusive former dictator saddam hussein
so where is the stargate now area 51 edwards air force base and what happened to it
is the us using it i was deployed to iraq in 2009 and never heard of this story while out there
but of course my focus was on my mission and my marines not an extraterrestrial technology
so i guess anything is plausible if you have more information for the possible whereabouts
of the stargate let us know in the comments below thanks for watching today's episode of
