Project Blue Beam: The Conspiracy Theory of Simulated Salvation

Origins and Timeline of a Persistent Myth

1994: Canadian journalist and conspiracy theorist Serge Monast first introduced Project Blue Beam in his book of the same name. Monast claimed NASA and the United Nations planned to use advanced technology to simulate religious or extraterrestrial events, destabilize global faiths, and establish a New World Order under a single authoritarian regime. His theory gained traction among fringe groups, particularly after he detailed its four-step plan:
1. Fabricated archaeological discoveries to discredit major religions
2. Global holographic projections of deities or alien invasions
3. Telepathic manipulation via low-frequency waves
4. Orchestrated chaos to force acceptance of a unified government

1995: Monast predicted the project’s imminent activation, but no such events occurred.

1996: Monast died of a heart attack at age 51, sparking claims he was assassinated to silence him. Conspiracy forums speculated the Canadian government kidnapped his daughter to deter his investigations.

2023: Unexplained drone sightings over New York and New Jersey reignited interest in the theory. Social media users linked the drones to “tests” of Blue Beam’s holographic technology.

2024: Prominent figures amplified the narrative:
– Roseanne Barr tweeted, “The drones ARE Project Blue Beam. WAKE UP!”
– Charlie Kirk (Turning Point USA) suggested on his podcast, “Globalists want us to fear aliens so we beg for one-world governance.”
– Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) speculated about foreign involvement but avoided endorsing Blue Beam directly.

The Theory’s Four-Step Apocalypse

Step 1: Undermining Religion

Monast alleged “staged earthquakes” would reveal “new archaeological finds” disproving Christianity and Islam. For example, fake artifacts would “expose” religious texts as lies. Critics note this ignores humanity’s historical resilience to contradictory evidence (e.g., the Shroud of Turin’s debunking failed to dismantle Christianity).

Step 2: Skyborne Deceptions

Advanced holograms would project religious figures (e.g., Christ, Allah) or alien fleets globally. Monast cited Hollywood films like Star Trek and Jurassic Park as “psychological preparation” for mass manipulation.

Step 3: Telepathic Brainwashing

ELF (extremely low-frequency) waves would broadcast “divine messages” into minds. Monast absurdly claimed these frequencies caused Kitty Dukakis’ depression in the 1980s.

Step 4: Orchestrated Chaos

A fake “Rapture” or alien invasion would trigger panic, followed by a fabricated “salvation” by the New World Order. Resistance would lead to draconian punishments, including forced Luciferian oaths, human experimentation, and televised executions.

Modern Resurgence and Criticisms

The 2023–2024 drone sightings became a focal point for theorists. Despite the FBI stating the drones posed “no threat,” the lack of transparency fueled speculation. Conspiracists claimed:
– Drones were testing hologram-projecting technology.
– “Alien” sightings would soon escalate to justify global authoritarianism.

Rational Debunking:
– Failed Predictions: Monast’s deadlines (1995, 1996, 2000) passed uneventfully.
– Technological Impossibility: Experts note global holograms require infrastructure far beyond current capabilities.
– Psychological Flaws: The theory assumes all 8 billion humans would uniformly interpret and accept the hoax, ignoring cultural and cognitive diversity.

Legacy and Influence

Monast’s work inspired later conspiracy figures like Texe Marrs, who linked Blue Beam to “Satanic elites.” The theory persists due to:
– Distrust in Institutions: NASA and the UN remain boogeymen for anti-government groups.
– Media Amplification: Films like 2001: A Space Odyssey feed paranoia about staged space events.

Yet, as Christopher Knowles (comic historian) observes, Blue Beam’s narrative mirrors sci-fi plots, notably Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Devil’s Due” (1991), where a con artist poses as a deity.

Conclusion

Project Blue Beam endures as a case study in conspiratorial thinking—blending pseudoscience, religious fear, and anti-globalist sentiment. While its claims crumble under scrutiny, the theory thrives in eras of uncertainty, reminding us that the line between fiction and “revelation” is often perilously thin. As Monast himself warned in 1994: “Without universal belief in the new religion, the New World Order will fail.” For now, humanity’s enduring skepticism may be its best defense.
