Branton Files

{{ufology}}
The '''Branton Files''' are a series of documents on various [[conspiracy theories]] published by '''Bruce Alan DeWalton''' (or '''Walton''') under the pseudonym '''Branton''' ('''Br'''uce '''A'''la'''n''' (De)Wal'''ton''') in 1999 and 2000. The material covered [[Crank magnetism|ranges]] from [[Unidentified flying object|UFOs]], [[Hollow Earth]], subterranean bases, a cosmic war in [[heaven]] with some reptilians and German [[time travel]] experiments. 

==Identity and biography==
"Branton" claims to be a CIA agent who was "electronically induced with an alternative personality which was "programmed" to serve the ''CIA Black Projects''{{sic}} and the ''Bavarian-Gray collective''{{sic}}. In this alternate or "double life" he had access to several underground bases, and has apparently encountered several alien groups as well."<ref>[https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_sociopol_mojave_a.htm About Branton]</ref>

More likely, "Branton" was former Mormon and Utah-based writer Bruce Allan DeWalton.<ref name=culture>{{cite book|author=Michael Barkun|title=A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America|url=https://archive.org/details/cultureofconspir0000bark|year=2006|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-24812-0}}</ref>{{rp|122}} Branton claims to have had "emotional and psychological disabilities", which he attributes to malevolent aliens.<ref name=culture/>{{rp|122}} Branton claims to have been in his thirties when he wrote the files.<ref name=culture/>{{rp|122}}

==Beliefs==
===Aliens and the war in heaven===
The driving force that animates most of Branton's conspiracy theories is the cosmic "war in heaven", between various alien factions. The factions are:
*The United Federation,{{efn|In an amusing sentence, Branton claims:<ref name=dreamland/>
{{quotebox|Federation personnel apparently contacted William Shatner in the Mojave desert years before he became famous for his part in the STAR TREK series, and certain ideas from real life turned up in the "inspired" television series.}} Note: William Shatner did not create ''Star Trek'', Gene Roddenberry did.}} who are human and therefore good.
*The Draconian Empire, which are reptilian and therefore evil.
*The non-aligned "Ashtar-Bavarian Command".<ref name=dreamland>[https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vida_alien/esp_vida_alien_23.htm Dreamland in the Rockies]</ref> 
This war is occurring on Earth in a system of underground tunnels called "dreamland". Branton claims all of these groups have secret bases and human contact groups on Earth. 

===Jesuit Illuminati Freemasons ===
Branton believes that the Illuminati was created by the Jesuits. What is his evidence? Here:<ref name=secrets2>[https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/branton/esp_sociopol_mojave2.htm The secrets of the Mojave, page 2]</ref>
{{quotebox|Illuminati founder '''Adam Weishaupt''' who ’started’ the order in '''''Bavaria''''', GERMANY was <u>a Jesuit</u>.{{sic}}}}
In reality, the sole connection Weishaupt has to the Jesuits is... he attended a Jesuit school, and took a position previously only held by Jesuits.<ref>{{wpa|Adam Weishaupt}}</ref>

Freemasonry, is of course, a creation of the Jesuits:<ref name=secrets2/>
{{quotebox|Also, the ’'''''Scottish Rite'''''’ of '''''Masonry''''' which advocates the destruction of National Sovereignties in exchange for Illuminati government has allegedly{{efn|How does one "allegedly" trace something?}} been traced back to the '''''Jesuit''''' college at Clermont in Paris, as have been other Jesuit-initiated Masonic rites.{{sic}}}}

And of course, the Jesuits secretly work for the Draconian Empire.<ref name=secrets2/>
===Maya===
Branton claims the Maya are descendants of Egyptians, who are themselves descendants of ancient India. As proof he cites a long chain of cranks including [[Zecharia Sitchin]], and [[Mu|James Churchward]] before reaching his magnum opus, citing [[2012 apocalypse]] crank Jose Arguelles:<ref name=secrets1>[https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/branton/esp_sociopol_mojave1.htm Secrets of the Mojave page 1]</ref>
{{quotebox|'''Arguelles''' claimed to have met an old Mayan 'sage' by the name of '''Humbarty Men''' who told him that his people, the '''''Mayas''''', still exist as a civilization (underground? - '''Branton''') and that they have in the last millennia succeeded in 'navigating' at least <u>seven nearby planetary systems</u> through advanced spacefaring technologies.{{sic}}}}

One, the Maya still exist; two, Jose Arguelles is not a reliable source for anything related to the Maya; and three, some guy's testimony is not a reliable source about ancient spacefaring.
