"such and such a word, in English, kinda sounds like some of these other words from old Egyptian, Persian, and Paleo-Hebrew - hence that means this is where the subject of that English word comes from!")
With all of that said though, I do think his characterization of many of the "powers that be" as being reptillian does constitute a really true allegory. It's kind of like Hunter S. Thompson - get all of the facts wrong while still managing to (in a sense) tell the truth. And the truth is, we are ruled by (mostly) souless people who don't care who they hurt to preserve what they believe they're entitled to...which seems to be, to their thinking, the world and everything in it (including you and I.)
