The Prophet and the Space Aliens

“Be carefool wiz whatt yoo say, everyssing iz reecordehd,” he discreetly says in his mischievous French accent, into the ear of a giggling woman. As the camera follows this innocent looking 70-something-year old man, we introduced into the secretive circle of the eccentric companions of Raël. Yes, that Raël, the one and only Raël, controversial cult leader Raël. Dressed in white, he proudly sits on a rock and honours us with a magisterial meditation. He sings for peace, for love, for “Elohim”. He Skypes with his African followers and tries to fundraise for a clitoral repair clinic. What could go wrong in this picture?
