Watch This When You're High - The Iraq War, Saddam Hussein, and the Anunnaki Stargate

Shout out to @stravers for this suggestion.

This one is wild, and requires a really open mind. Here's the gist of the theory

"Imagine this scenario. The U.S. government obtains intelligence that hidden somewhere in central Iraq is an actual stargate, placed there by the Anunnaki 'gods' of ancient Sumeria... In this scenario, when Nibiru (the alleged "twelfth planet"--J.T.) is closest to Earth, the Anunnaki " will "take the opportunity to travel to Earth through that same stargate and will set up their encampment in Iraq."

"With time running out, President Bush invades Iraq. American scientists raid the (Iraqi national) museum and close the stargate, thus frustrating the grandiose ambitions of the self-styled reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam Hussein, and making the world safe for the New World Order."

"Is this the sequel to the movie Stargate? Is it a new episode of the TV series? Is it a new Star Trek movie? No, it is none of these. According to Dr. Michael Salla, it is probably exactly what happened!"

"Dr. Salla, an Australian national, obtained his M.A. in philosophy from the University of Melbourne and then his doctorate (Ph.D.) in Government from the University of Queensland in 1993. After spending two years as an Associate at the Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies in Australia, he joined the faculty of the Department of Political Science at Australian National University in Canberra as a lecturer. In 1996, he came to the U.S. and gained an academic appointment at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C. where he remained until 2001."

"Dr. Salla's Iraq stargate theory is expounded in a paper written for publication."

"He believes that the U.S., Russia, Germany and France have been aware that the Anunnaki left behind some very high-tech apparatus, and possibly weaponry, when they abandoned the Earth around 1,700 B.C., and that Saddam Hussein had been getting assistance from Russian, German and French archaeological teams for years in an attempt to unravel, and perhaps reverse-engineer, this apparatus, which Salla claims is probably far in advance of any technology we might have obtained from the Grays from Zeta Reticuli" and which is supposedly warehoused at Area 51 in Nevada.

According to Mahmoud al-Diwaniyahi, the alien stargate may be hidden away in one of several locations. Some possible locations include:

- An ancient crypt beneath the Sumerian ziqqurat (pyramid) of Dur Kurigalzu, near Baghdad. 

- The so-called "Dark Ziqqurat" of Enzu, located in the as-Zab as-Saghir (Little Zab) river valley, which once was the lair of Gimil-ishbi, a Sumerian sorcerer of 3,000 B.C. 

- Beneath the ancient fortress of Qalaat-e-Julundi, near Zarzi in the Little Zab River valley, north of Mosul. 

- Saddam's reputed underground base in Al-Ouja, 3 kilometers (2 miles) north of Tikrit, which was built for him by "the Zarzi aliens," extraterrestrials whose UFO crashed in Iraq in December 1998 and who were given sanctuary in Zarzi by Saddam.

Everybody whose seen the great 90s sci-fi film Stargate featuring Kurt Russell is familiar with the term and technology behind stargates.

This whole thing is such a rabbit hole that I've just began to start watching and reading about. But the theory of the middle eastern war being tied in to Sadaam Hussein, the CIA, and mythological Stargates being found, is a pretty wild one.

One of the best things I've found, written by somebody far smarter than I, and more knowledgeable on the subject, can be found here. Shawn Malley wrote an entire thesis paper on the topic for The University of Liverpool, and it's awesome.

What's really crazy about the whole thing is that physicists and NASA are all in agreement that there are "magnetic portals" scattered all around Earth that hold powers they can't full explain.

Are these what the ancients believed to be "stargates"?

I'll do a follow up on this on other stargate mythology and theories once I find out more. If you have any good links or videos on this shoot them my way.

Keep the suggestions coming. Keep them classy. No butt stuff.
