“The Zetas say that ZetaTalk is Straight Talk.” -Nancy Leider
No, the OTHER Planet X.
One of the very first full-blown conspiracy communities I ran into on the Internet was that of the Planet X advocates, spearheaded by Nancy Lieder of ZetaTalk. Several years and countless failed prophecies later, Nancy and the Zetas are still going strong. Though the cult appears to have lost a few of its followers after a major prophecy failure in 2003, the centrepiece of their cosmology, Planet X (also known as Nibiru), has spread like wildfire across the Internet.
Nancy’s mythology fuses the catastrophism of Immanuel Velikovsky with a tortured version of the Sitchin/von Daniken school of archaeology with a dash of New Age thrown in for good measure. Despite its obvious roots in previous conspiracist/cultic subcultures, ZetaTalk has taken on a real life of its own, and a particular style that distinguishes it from its competitors. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain and see what ZetaTalk is all about.
