Bamm-Bamm as an Extraterrestrial Hybrid Gift?

Disclosure is all around you having been seeded into your cultural literacy.
If you look through episode summaries for Hanna-Barbera's The Flintstones you will find that many of them call out the caricatures, parodies and spoofs of early 1960s tv shows. One write up for Little Bamm-Bamm perfectly notes the play on Perry Mason, but never mentions Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's Superman or the 1948 film serial.
The in-your-face clues to Bamm-Bamm's extraterrestrial nature are rapidly forgotten and then completely overshadowed by the 1965 introduction of Harvey Korman's little green alien Gazoo.
Fourteen years later, however, in 1979 Hanna Barbera and Ottenheimer Publishers will foot-stomp the truth of 1963's Alien Bamm-Bamm with one eye-opening title....

I'm glad you mentioned this, especially under the moniker of Sherlock Holmes. I have been continually amazed at how comments on the UAP training videos shared here have absolutely nothing to do with what is being exposed. Apparently, humans cannot wrap their heads around the implications. Kudos to you for at least asking a question. I hope your week is a good one.

One of the rare times “The Flintstones” broke the fourth wall - when Barney commented on wishing on the star.

[@TomOwensUAP]

Out of 166 episodes, I have found 5 episodes in which one or more cast members of The Flintstones break the Fourth Wall. There might be more, but I have these for certain: S01E05 "The Split Personality", S01E21 "The Tycoon", S02E21 "Impractical Joker", S03E19 "The Surprise", S04E02 "Little Bamm-Bamm" If you run across any others, feel free to let us know here.

[@JackieOwl94]

Back then, infertility and adoption were pretty taboo subjects. It was considered indecent to take in a child that wasn’t yours, and a curse by the divine if you were infertile yourself. This is one of the many ways the flintstones broke ground in culture.

[@TomOwensUAP]

Quality comments, always appreciated here. Thank you for checking in.

[@JediKnightIlona]

Those who have considered adoption a taboo should have understood the family isn't about sharing the the same blood. It's more to do with how truly close you are to someone.

[@babsbybend]

The television series "The Honeymooners" starring Jackie Gleason, had a childless couple too. They were going to adopt, but the birth mother reclaimed the baby. This was originally aired on 1955.

[@TomOwensUAP]

@dawnnelder wrote "Lots of people adopted back then. Maybe in your particular culture, but not most people." Both your statement and Jackie's can be true. For much, but not all, of the United States... the topic of adoption was rarely broached on US television in the 1950s and 1960s as a way to avoid any controversy regarding the details of the adoptee's situation. As you will see in a comment to follow, Jackie Gleason presented the adoption topic in March of 1955, but the birth mother wanted the baby back... in the Flintstones episode there is complete follow through with Bamm-Bamm legally being made the son of Betty and Barney Rubble. It is important to note that they don't explain Bamm-Bamm's back story in this 1960s probe of public opinion. Thanks to the leadership of Donna Reed, her show also covered adoption. This is a current article out of the US state of Nevada addressing the taboo and stigma that, for far too many, still impacts the adoption of children. www.adoptionchoicesofnevada.org/why-is-adoption-still-considered-taboo/

@@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat so for each parallel you add, I will try to add another until we run out. So far we have: 1. Kal-El's smoking small spacecraft through atmospheric entry and the appearance of "the shooting star" the night before the delivery of Bamm-Bamm. 2. John and Martha Kent were childless and so too Barney and Betty Rubble. 3. You've just added that Kal-El and Bamm-Bamm had Super Strength. 4. I'll add that Hanna Barbera eventually has Betty Rubble go to work for a newspaper The Daily Granite... a pun on Clark Kent's work for The Daily Planet. There are quite a few more. If you need me to point out another, just let me know.

This episode 'Little Bamm Bamm' was one of my favorite episodes of the series where Barney and Betty not only get their own baby but one that is like right out of Superman a super strong baby that can throw grown men around like rag dolls and both Fred and Barney get laughs out of it like when Fred first met Bamm Bamm and said baby took hold of Fred's finger and body slammed him with Barney saying 'That Bamm Bamm is pretty strong for a baby huh Fred' and Fred says 'Bamm Bamm's pretty strong period' as they both laughed and it was really cute seeing a future couple when Bamm Bamm and Pebbles meet for the first time.

[@TomOwensUAP]

The alien Kal-El Superman connections with this episode and others are interesting and gradually unfolded over 3+ decades. Then, in November of 2016, we had a disclosure twist with the reveal that Mr. Slate had arranged a war against a race known as The Tree People so that he could quarry their territory for granite. One viewer offered, based on his good looks and white hair, that Bamm-Bamm could be a hybrid of Alien and a surviving member of The Tree People.

[@jasobres]

The Flintstones really broke ground by portraying the Rubbles as sterile or unable to conceive a child.

[@TomOwensUAP]

Good comment... and yes. Breaking ground is an important symbolic phrase originally associated with the process of erecting a building... where laying a cornerstone would be a step to follow. The phrase is now extended to other important project work. Using the casual, relaxed format of an animated situation comedy... The Flintstones seeded important ideas into US cultural literacy, to include Extraterrestrial Paleocontact... and the suspension of ridicule regarding change-agent visions of the future. Thank you for checking in with a quality comment.

[@trika91]

However, this idea gets revised in November 2016 when it is suggested that Little Bamm-Bamm is a survivor of the Tree People Genocide. Of course... where did the Tree People come from? How did Bamm-Bamm become so strong? White Hair? Who brought Bamm-Bamm to the Rubbles? Lots to ponder.

Fred was humbled - only after Wilma scolded him for his behavior towards Betty and Barney!

[@TomOwensUAP]

The channel received a very short but good comment, about a much later reveal that "Bamm-Bamm's entire tribe was killed off." Some conservative Flintstones purists may not appreciate it, but it is important to review, so here are more details: 1. It was not until 2 November 2016 (6 days before 8 November 2016) when DC Comics presented the idea that it was Mr. Slate who promoted the extermination of a tribe called the Tree People inhabiting a granite-rich area that would, after a war, come to be known as the Town of Bedrock with Slate's Quarry. 2. Fred Flintstone is caught up in the hype and enlists to participate in the genocide of the Tree People and tells Barney he must do the same to protect their families. 3. Earlier, in the 1994 Flintstones Live Action Film, we learned that Bamm-Bamm was raised in the wild by Mastodons. Contrary to some attempts at spin, these facts do not preclude the idea of an alien civilization attempting to teach early humans by bringing Bamm-Bamm to the very people who were instrumental in the killing. Here's a video showing some of the details from 1963 and 2016. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6q0Yq1-bsiKnMk Consider this in light of recent finding that Modern Humans May Have More Neanderthal DNA Than Previously Thought. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/new-research-expands-neanderthals-genetic-legacy-modern-humans-180974099/

[@xcmet]

So why was it that Betty was unable to bare a kid for Barney. I wonder if the Flinstones TV show ever covered the reason why.

[@TomOwensUAP]

It's an interesting question for a learning opportunity. I say this for two reasons: First, it really isn't ideal for men to assume the issue of infertility lies with the female, when it could be Barney's motility. There is no explanation given in the Bedrock Universe for the infertility... even in the 1994 live-action film. The real reason for the infertility problem is to lay a foundation and launch a subtle trial balloon for the paleocontact theory that Carl Sagan had posed in his 1962 paper Direct Contact Among Galactic Civilizations by Relativistic Interstellar Spaceflight. It sets the stage for the LGM Gazoo. I realize that this will sound laughable to those who haven't dug into it in depth, but I am serious. Years later you will see Hanna-Barbera approved text and video hints further supporting the link between Bamm-Bamm and the alien Superman. If you are interested, I can provide them in the next comment.

Across time, humans have worked "truth to power" education and social change using motley fools, puppets and then cartoon animation. While the very first tv sitcom Mary Kay and Johnny (1947) was first to regularly show a couple sleeping in the same bed and going through a pregnancy, this quickly became taboo after the show went off the air in 1950. The Flintstones may have been the first to retest these waters. The Flintstones hinted at many difficult topics for audience education... flying saucers and aliens, Freemasonry, pregnancy, infertility, infidelity, gambling addiction, and even suicide.

[@TomOwensUAP]

This is a REALLY good contribution, one of the best the channel has had on a topic other than UAP Quantum Mechanics, although some conservative Flintstones purists may not appreciate it. Here's why: 1. It was not until 2 November 2016 (6 days before 8 November 2016) when DC Comics presented the idea that it was Mr Slate who promoted the extermination of a tribe called the Tree People inhabiting an area rich in granite that would eventually come to be known as the Town of Bedrock. 2. Fred Flintstone is caught up in the hype and enlists to participate in the genocide of the Tree People and tells Barney he must do the same to protect their families. 3. Earlier, in the 1994 Flintstones Live Action Film, we learned that Bamm-Bamm was raised in the wild by Mastodons. Contrary to some attempts at spin, these facts do not preclude the idea of an alien civilization attempting to teach early humans by bringing Bamm-Bamm to the very people who were instrumental in the killing. Here's a video showing some of this... with a small hint to the genocide in 1963. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6q0Yq1-bsiKnMk Consider all of this in light of the fact that Modern Humans May Have More Neanderthal DNA Than Previously Thought. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/new-research-expands-neanderthals-genetic-legacy-modern-humans-180974099/

@@TomOwensUAPUAP person here too. I’m really starting to think that Bam-Bam is a human hybrid. He’s got unreal strength and he turns out a very good and handsome guy. I think he is an attempt to re-seed the human race and jump start things again after the post-Jetsons catastrophe.

[@TomOwensUAP]

@@malloryemclaren excellent comment. In support of your idea, one theory has been that various types of early humans (Homo-erectus, Cro-magnon, Neanderthal, Denisovan) on planet Earth have been staged PROTOTYPES. In the fictional, gedankenexperiment and instructional Flintstones-verse, this could make sense... as Bamm-Bamm would be too young to have been born before Mr. Slate's Granite War.

Bamm-bamm has a similar cryptic delivery to the childless Rubbles as with Kal-El's delivery to the Kents.

Well, to his credit, at the end of the Little Bamm-Bamm episode Fred Flintstone actually rescues Barney Rubble from committing a rock-laden suicide drowning and, thanks to Barney's thoughtless action, winds up in the drink himself.

[@fromthesidelines]

But he's still gets angry at Barney for letting go of the rock which caused him to fall off the bridge into the drink! "Thanks for saving my life, Fred! I almost made a big mistake!" "Yeah! And saving your life was *my* big mistake!!!" "Say hello to Uncle Fred, Bamm-Bamm! He may LOOK all wet, but he's really a *nice guy!"* **everybody laughs at this- including Fred- as the scene fades out**

[@Nick-zp3ub]

Gazoo must have been involved somehow. Did he grow bamm bamm in a vat then leave him with the mammoths as a twisted experiment?

[@TomOwensUAP]

In November of 2016, the story was revised in issue #5 of the DC Comics Flintstones to reveal that Bamm-Bamm was a surviving member of Mr. Slate's War Against the Tree People so that he could quarry granite. While this update doesn't fully jive with the original Bamm-Bamm "discovery in a basket" narrative after the birth of Pebbles, a Bamm-Bamm hybrid theory would bring both together more seamlessly. For some... the silliness of this discussion is just too much. However, others recognize the symbolism, education seeds and the parallels with certain physicists and engineers in hot debate at the comic book store ala CBS' The Big Bang Theory. Attention to detail is key. Can you source the idea of alien twisted experiments on humans to some of the most ancient of Earth's literature? If so... let me know in comments to follow.

[@TomOwensUAP]

In a way... neither did Barney. He understood right away. Humans can often learn by viewing negative leadership examples... not giving credit to others for their contributions... using lies, insults, size or loudness to dominate... scheming to deceive instead of balanced planning. You'll find Alice Kramden rewarding Fred's real-world alter ego for his attempts at self improvement. Also, the gentle giant... like Lou Ferigno in King of Queens... is a positive example.

[@williamjones7163]

I always wondered how Bam Bam came to be. What would the religious right say about it today?

[@TomOwensUAP]

Good question. My experience has been that MOST individual adherents to right wing fundamentalist Christianity have failed to do the actual work of reading the books and sourcing the material to the ancient Gentile (and Hebrew) traditions and literature from which it is sourced to include: Roman literature, Greek Literature, Egyptian Literature, Chaldean Babylonian and ultimately Sumerian Literature. In alignment with Roman Empire traditions, the New Testament assimilates much of this material and it is easy to find, once you have the background. As fundamentalists have not done the required reading of "the Classics," they are easy marks for the Charlatans that Carl Sagan warns of in his quote: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJObkpeJarp2o9k

[@slashbash1347]

Probably nothing.

[@TomOwensUAP]

@ferretyluv wrote "That he was adopted as a foundling? They’d love it." Most right wing fundamentalist Christians do NOT like the November 2016 presentation in DC Comics Flintstones that Bamm-Bamm is the survivor of Mr Slate's genocide of the race of Tree People that inhabited the granite rich area which Slate wanted to quarry for profit and better housing... especially given that this appeared just before the 8 November 2016 election. Those who study the New Testament material in detail typically do not remain as fundamentalist Christians... but they can still be another form of Christian because they more fully understand the value of the material glossed from earlier Gentile and Hebrew literature to include Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Essene, Chaldean Babylonian and ultimately Sumerian. I've learned, painfully, that when ~some~ Christian Parents are shown the evidence of the solar Light of the World, or that Paul is a reflection of the constellation Ophiuchus the Snake Handler or that Mark 10's Blind Bartimaeus is not real but rather a book plug for Plato's Timaeus written c. 360 BCE that they can become angry... because these missed facts make them appear foolish or worse, deceitful, with their children. I have yet to encounter a fundamentalist, ring wing Christian who will truthfully answer questions about the New Testament and Earth's ancient history. If you know of any, I would be interested.

@@ferretyluv it really is a tweaked reflection of the story of Moses... just as that story is a tweak on an even earlier version out of a different civilization. So, I would first ask, always respectfully: Prior to our exchange here on 21 August 2024, has anyone ever previously showed you that the Hebrews' etiological narrative of Moses has mimesis parallels in the far earlier story of the foundling Sargon of Akkad? Similarly, has anyone previously shown you that the Hebrew Tanakh narrative of Cain and Abel is a tweak on the Sumerian story titled Inanna Prefers the Farmer? Or how the Hebrew flood narrative has parallels in the far earlier Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh? Has anyone shown you that this this Hebrew assimilation and customization of Sumerian literature is referenced for a near confession in the Book of Daniel? If not... and you doubt any of the above claims... please let me know and I will provide supporting evidence in kind and respectful tones. If you ARE aware of this... then it is important to realize that right-wing fundamentalist Christians (topic of original comment above) who adhere to a literal interpretation of the books... will NOT like the Enlightened Freemason Flintstones attempting to teach by sowing seeds and breadcrumbs to the Kal-El Superman tweak of the Moses tweak of the Sargon of Akkad story.
