    Close encounters of the racist kind is a good read. Here’s the most relevant part:

    Consider the H2 series “In Search of Aliens,” which, before its demise, promoted the work of Jan Udo Holey, a German writer whose antisemitic books have been banned across Europe. (Holey’s pen name, Jan Van Helsig, is a blunt Dracula reference, i.e. Jews are bloodsuckers.) The History Channel’s long-running series “Ancient Aliens,” meanwhile, features David Childress, whose books cite and build on the work of James Churchward, who promoted an ancient empire called the “lost continent of Mu,” whose “dominant race” was an “exceedingly handsome people, with clear white or olive skin.”

    The history channel is entry level nazi propaganda.

      Quinton Reviews did a whole ass documentary on it. The best thing to come out of it was his “Just because white people couldn’t do it doesn’t mean it was aliens” shirt which, fun fact, his previous provider refused to stock it so he switched to a less racist company and that shirt instantly became a best seller, blowing the sales of everything else completely out of the water.
