Exopolitics as Modern Folklore: A Critical Survey of the US-Centered Galactic Narrative

To the point

It argues that a sprawling myth about secret space programs blends Michael Salla’s exopolitics with whistleblower lore and ancient alien tropes into a US‑centered cosmos, organized around three strands (Nazi Antarctic civilization, an extraterrestrial deep‑time archive, and a covert defense network) and culminating in a Space Force‑driven, Starfleet‑style order that reframes Cold War geopolitics as galactic drama, with figures like Tsien Hsue‑shen, Daniel Fry, and Elena Danaan appearing as connective threads, all presented as modern folklore that offers comforting, universal explanations while masking fragility and casting America as the benevolent interstellar steward.
