The CIA won't even give information to other agencies, and you think they're spreading the wealth around. Wow.

Can you prove that?

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

How do you know what the CIA is doing and who they will or won't give information to?

I haven't thought about the show in a long time, but I've learned a little about numerology lately.
And no the square and compass aren't in the logo for Stargate SG 1, they're actually a part of the name itself.

Thats really, really clever. Truly a Hollywood insider made up that name for that show.

Huh? How is Stargate SG-1 a Square and Compasses?

I love Stargate.

Some of the consultation was because the Cheyenne Mountain complex was used in filming and also two Generals were featured on the show.

Wiki - Stargate_SG-1

The U.S. Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Office of Public Affairs, Entertainment Liaison in Los Angeles, co-operated closely with the Stargate SG-1 producers. Before the beginning of the series, the Air Force granted production access to the Cheyenne Mountain complex to film stock shots. They also read every script for mistakes and provided help with plausible background stories for all characters, ribbons, uniform regulations, hair advice, plot lines and military relationships & decorum on an active military base.[70] The USAF flew up several T-38 Talon, F-15 and F-16 fighter jets to Vancouver for various episodes and direct-to-DVD films.[37][71][72] Many of the extras portraying USAF personnel were real USAF staff.[73] Two successive Chiefs of Staff of the Air Force, Generals Michael E. Ryan and John P. Jumper, appeared as themselves in season 4's "Prodigy" and season 7's "Lost City", respectively. General Jumper's second scheduled appearance in season 9's "The Fourth Horseman" was cancelled due to ongoing real-world conflicts in the Middle East.[72] The Air Force Association recognized Richard Dean Anderson at its 57th annual dinner on September 14, 2004 for his work as actor and executive producer of the show and for the show's positive depiction of the United States Air Force.[73] Several scenes of season 4's "Small Victories" were filmed aboard and outside a decommissioned Russian Foxtrot-class submarine, which had been brought from Vladivostok to Vancouver by a private owner.[8] The United States Navy invited the cast and producers to film aboard the nuclear submarine USS Alexandria (SSN-757) and at their Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station in the Arctic for the direct-to-DVD sequel Stargate: Continuum.[74]

This situation is reversed In the 100th episode Wormhole Xtreme (season 5, episode 12 directed by Peter DeLuise and written by Brad Wright & Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mullie), when the SG command are being consulted by a tv company who want to make a tv series about the stargate SG-1 and their adventures. This episode also contained a classic "plausible deniability" moment.
Wiki-Wormhole X-Treme!


There are also some references to The Simpsons (which we know seems to predict many real-world things) as RDAs character Jack O'Neill was a fan.

With regards to the emblem, it is a pyramid with a circle denoting the symbol on the stargate for the Earth which is also referred to as the point of origin (also spoken as Tao-nas). Although it does look like a compass too... mmm

Although the series mainly draws upon Egyptian mythology, it also includes Norse, Greek and Arthurain (King Arthur). Interestingly the spaceships have a golden pyramid inside them.

Wormhole X !!!

Like layers of an onion.

One has to wonder why the US plays such a roll in the Stargate series...

United States Space Command

(U) USSPACECOM provides joint employment of military forces and operational support to other unified, combatant commands. Its mission is to conduct joint space operations in accordance with the Unified Command Plan assigned missions: Space Force Support, Space Force Enhancement, Space Force Application, and Space Force Control.

What kind of information was being provided to the show from Space Command?

The US military were advisors of the show, and I think they were sponsors too. They kept close ties after it left Showtime post season 5 (coincidentally, when the show started involving lots of spaceships and less traditional military) but in the first 5 seasons it got a lot of military support. Their 100th episode parodies the conspiracy you're talking about.

Also, 3 times in the shows run they used an actual Joint Chief in a cameo role holding that position (the biggest being the end of season 7 when the new President is briefed).

US Space Command told the producers about the big stone doughnut. They said look, we are in the ME looking for a big stone doughnut, go make a show about it.

And they did, and it was a great show!

(Although I preferred SG Universe, and am still hoping for a reboot as they come out on the other side of the void).

Actually, the mythology of a Stargate well predates the show which is what they used for the premise. It's gone back to at least the 50's.

SGU was horrible though, it took everything that was good about Stargate and trashed it. I could just be bitter over the horrible ending Atlantis got though.

Can you explain the mythology of the Stargate going back to the 50's?

If the CIA gave information then the NSA wouldn't have to do what they're currently doing to get information. DHS wouldn't exist, 9/11 wouldn't have happened, and much else.

The CIA does not help out other branches.

It's exactly as the show said, in fact one of the early SG1 episodes mentioned it as well (they created an old stargate program in the 40's that they found archives of).

It's a very old legend and it's tied up in Sumerian mythology.

a reply to: Aazadan

What's that have to do with anything?

Even more of a reason to question their actions.

They are rogue.

Yes. You should know he doesn't like people making wild claims with zero credibility or sources. Many agree with him.

Neither one of those has a square in it. You know, the thing with a 90 degree angle.
