Well Bryan, I am going to pretend you are really interested. Instead of quoting I am going to give my interpretation of what I have been learning from the Pleiadians. For those who don't know the Pleiadians are a group of entities from the future who are being channeled by Barbara Marciniak. I consider them our future selves and their more than 200 tapes are truly a cosmic university. I have listened to about 60 or 70 of their tapes and will distill what I have put together from these tapes. It is an incredibly beautiful teaching that is designed to lead one to full self empowerment. I will be at one of their weekends on Feb. 1 & 2 at Lake Tahoe. So first I need to define some terms. There is what is called first cause, prime creator, or God-Godess-All That Is. Then there are creator gods. Notice the small g. Then there are the original planner creator gods and the what I call the second shift creator gods. Now the original planner creator gods created humanity in a sense perfectly along with a planet that included the DNA from the entire universe. The earth is a living library of the entire universe and the humans are the library cards. There was a society on earth that had these fully evolved 12 heli humans. It existed over 300 thousand years ago and remnants of it are under the south pole and on mars. Then there was a war in heaven as the expression goes. The original planners left and the second shift came in and re-engineered humans into Adam man and others. Now what they did is scramble the top 10 heli of the DNA so that survival and sexuality was all that was active. The top 10 were basically idle. This correlates to why we are only using ten percent of our brains. And why we only use ten percent of our 7 and a half foot DNA strand. These second shift creator gods are reptilian in nature and in their exuberance in being able to genetically engineer, they forgot their connection to first cause and wanted their creations to worship them. That is why there is so much talk about a punishing god in the bible. The other interesting thing is they had leave sexuality intact but shut it down. Because through sexuality one can know/remember their connection to first cause. That is why the church attempts to control sexuality. So humans will not connect with first cause but will reproduce. So the reptilian creator gods that created religions get off on the humans fear. That is why the church takes something that is a given, spiritual immortality and convinces their followers that it is not available to anyone who has not been saved. Needing to be saved is an example of eternal stupidity. The one thing an eternal, immortal soul does not need is to be saved. What an absolutely absurd idea. It is totally amazing that anyone can be eternally dumb and gullible enough to think they need to be saved. You know the animals know they are going to reincarnate. Nothing ever dies. So now we have these reptilian gods wanting their scrambled DNA humans to worship them. Now who in their right mind is going to worship someone that looks like the characters in V or like Dino. What they needed was a marketing representative, someone human who could be used to convince the other humans that The Father was something other than a lizard. So they borrowed the life and teachings of a man called Emmanuel. They couldn't get a lot of attention by calling him Emmanuel so they renamed him Jesus Christ one hundred years after he died. They couldn't very well tell the true story of his life because he was into sex, lived 80-100 years and was married and had kids. They also couldn't very well admit that there were many Christed ones and lots of them were female. So they rewrote his life and created a holographic insert to make everyone believe he had been crucified on a cross. To establish a basic belief in suffering and sacrifice in the followers. The really interesting thing is the church screwed up, bad. Emmanuel taught reincarnation. And the first version of the doctrine had that in it. Guess what? Everyone soon figured out, if I am going to reincarnate, why do I need to follow the eternally stupid doctrine. So for the first 500 years the churches were empty. So the nefarious fathers of the church got together and removed reincarnation from the doctrine. about 565 ad. Things still didn't go to well. So the nefarious fathers started murdering all none believers in public by section and quartering them and burning them at the stake. (The early form of sports and television.) So then it became fairly easy to get converts. Either go to church or risk being burned at the stake. Now the church started to grow even if the followers didn't fear god they did fear being burned at the stake. Along about 1600 the government stepped in and said Hey we have to find an alternative to burning our population. It is rough to get taxes from a crisp corpse. So a deal was cut, the logical, rational mind was created. A fairly simple process of educating one to believe that all knowledge is outside. And training one to never look inside for anything. Basically teaching them to be on time, follow the rules, FEAR the consequences, consume and die. Now the govts get the work force and the reptilian gods get their fear generating humans. And the humans are to busy surviving to notice their connection to first cause or prime creator. Now the so called newage is the returning of the original planners from all over the universe, in all forms. It is an increase in energy or light. The heat is on! The earth is truly a garden of eden and offers the trees of life (immortality) and the trees of knowledge (light). We can choose to activate our DNA and be alive. There is also ample resources available to feed, clothe, shelter and educate a population of ten times what we currently have. Imagine a population of ten times what we have living in peace, joy, health and harmony. Right now all the suffering in the world is in control of no more then 500 people. I know that 500 good newagers can shift the planet to the eden it was designed to be. In fact it is more a matter of waking up and doing it sooner. I hope you folks enjoyed reading this half as much as I enjoyed writing it. Infinite love, peace and joy!!!

Don Showen This last part has some rationality to it. In my opinion, you would do well to weed out the irrational beliefs given to you by the channelers, and create yourself a solid, rational base to stand on.

Message-ID: <1992Jan21.183535.25572@tellab5.tellabs.com> Date: 21 Jan 92 18:35:35 GMT Sender: news@tellab5.tellabs.com (News) Distribution: na Organization: Trough and Brew Lines: 45 Nntp-Posting-Host: sunce At Don Allen's urging to the Net, I decided to do a little research into the Reticulan stories. I didn't want to wade through a bunch of weirded out crap about "pyramid-based space brothers" and such, so I decided to assume the LGM (little grey men) got here by means unknown and look at the astronomy of the situation instead. Unfortunately, I'm an hour away from my alma mater's physics and astro library, so I had to rely on whatever books I still had lying around after being out of the business for 12 years. Item number 1: Zeta Ret. is a double star. Normally, it's pretty unlikely that a planet in a binary system could harbor life due to high radiation fluxes and wide temperature variations. These are caused by complex orbits and gravitational perturbations by the nearness of the companion star; I invite you to read some celestial mechanics to verify this. Actually, planetary formation itself can be a real bitch if the stars are too close. However, my info doesn't indicate if it's a *visual* double or a *physical* double i.e. binary. If the system is only a visual double with a common proper motion (motion measured against much more distant stars which can be considered fixed) caused by formation in roughly the same area of space, the arguments about a minimal or non-existent "lifezone" are not applicable. So, we need to determine if this baby is a physical double or not. Item 2: My info gave an M-K spectral classification for the two stars as G1 and G2. Our sun is a G2 star, but it's a dwarf star, indicated by a third element: G2V (Roman numeral five). The classification is important because the hotter/more massive a star is, the faster it burns its fuel and dies. The Pleaidian stories have a major flaw: the Pleiades are type O and B stars and therefore can't have existed for very long. The probability of life evolving on planets around those stars in that time frame (million versus billions of years) is small plus you've got a lot of radiation coming off those puppies. Yeah, yeah, "But they just colonized that area!", sigh. Anyway, a gentleman at Princeton U. was kind enough to supply me with the complete measured classifications. There will be some variation depending on observer, technique, etc. but the consensus is one star is a G1V and the other is a G2V. Before we jump to conclusions, we need to consider that a lot of stars in the Solar neighborhood are relatively cool and are dwarfs, so this might not be any big deal. On the other hand, spectrally, the LGM picked the "right" kind of star from which to originate. I'm going to try to dig up more of the physical properties of the system and follow up on this. Corrections of my info and critiques of my reasoning are encouraged and welcomed. And for the record, I'm still a skeptic (F=ma and at relativistic speeds mass goes to infinity).

It's called advent "psychism" (for those who simply have to have terms for stuff like this) that's what I'd call it. Channeling is distraction for me. I too channeled for a couple of years until I saw through it's disguise. Again, my opinion. You are certainly welcome to your own opinions. > Having studied channeling for over 7 years now, and become one.. > I am convince there IS something here.. Not mere psychic entities in > ones head, but in tangible beings, which one can learn to FEEL > (such as in connection via long distance phone call, one can FEEL > the same energy one can feel in the same room as the channeling when > they are channeling. I have channeled for free, and have many friends Like I said, 'tis all "psychism". I've never said you couldn't FEEL the energy of psychic presence, I've been trying to clarify what it is that the channelers and those who flock at their pyschism are feeling. A lot of it IS within people's heads only, but some psychic energy is a matter of FEELing. When I move down (or out) the lines of energy that connect me and my world to those of the channelers, I FEEL the misguidence, I know that for myself there is nothing at all for me there. I understand that other people may in fact, find some meaning where I do not. I don't tell people NOT to indulge, I express my opinions and then let them go. > Rj, (and Kathy, and anyone else who usually feels that a living > person is a better source of wisdom) Have you gone to a GOOD responsible > self questioning, and talented channeler? you might find yourself > suprised.... it's not anythign like the "channeling" stereotype.. I think you should ask that of yourself. I myself started out as a GOOD responsible self questioning and talented channeler and guess what? I learned something. I learned to discern between the garbage and the flowers. I have not forgotten either. I do not impose self-limitation nor dis-unify my own psychic part of my being. > Like I said, you can feel whatever you want, and I am not trying to > convince you. My view is different. I can accept that other's don't agree. > and in fact don't WANT them to automattically agree me, if they don't > VALIDATE the info, they are following in blind faith, which I abhor.. That's fine with me. Blind faith, in anything, including the words and books of channelers, is an ignorant way. More importantly, look at HOW the believer of channeled words convinces him/herself that it is the only truth there is and HOW they usually couple it with concepts of it being "God"'s will or inspiration or the very source of the channeled words. It is an act of self-indulgence. I only offer an alternate opinion and there is no need for explanations beyond this. I can accept yours or other peoples points of view or beliefs as being something valid for you and these other people. No problemo. However, my right use of will is such that I will act upon whatever I encounter in my daily life. That means I may even write about my opinions on this network from time to time. It does not mean that I am right and that everyone should agree with me. On the contrary, I believe that people should remain open-minded about things they are still trying to understand, grasp, and/or believe in. > I use my mind, and find it "tuned" better by the info I get from chanelling > (both my own and others) far more then ANY other source of wisdom > I have found. I question, and I find the answers all fit.... granted > > Seth Cohn Ah. Your mind. Get it? Every person's OWN mind contains the same stuff and source that the channelers are wont is to tap into. So, in reality, there is really NO NEED to channel. It's just a way you explain it to yourself; how you come by this information. Deep meditation can yield the same results without the irrationality that channelers end up with by having created a non-unified psychic personality within their very own Self.

I am well aware of the Pleiadians and the bunkum they "teach" -- little matter that it is all stuff that could be dreamed up by any science fiction writer with a little imagination, but to actually pin such arrant nonsense on entities from the future is pushing things a little. By the way, I have as much faith in Ms Marciniak's channelling abilities as I have in that of stage magicians to perform their art; after all, there is _no_ substantive difference between the two disciplines, except that channellers assert that what they are doing is the real McCoy. >So first I need to define some terms.

Then there are the original planner creator gods and the what I >call the second shift creator gods. Yes; this is all very standard pseudo-religious spiel. Where's the beef? >Now the original planner creator gods created humanity in a sense perfectly >along with a planet that included the DNA from the entire universe. The earth >is a living library of the entire universe and the humans are the library >cards. There was a society on earth that had these fully evolved 12 heli >humans.

As a small aside, I might point out that not enough solar energy reaches Mars for it to support carbon-based life as we know it, thus making the 12 heli-humans figments of your feverish imagination. >Then there was a war in heaven as the expression goes. The original planners >left and the second shift came in and re-engineered humans into Adam man and >others. Now what they did is scramble the top 10 heli of the DNA so that >survival and sexuality was all that was active. The top 10 were basically >idle. This correlates to why we are only using ten percent of our brains. And >why we only use ten percent of our 7 and a half foot DNA strand. From where did you pluck the idea that only 10% of our brains are in use? I might point out again that this smells suspiciously like New Age Christianity with some spice thrown in for the Flying Saucer fans. I'd need a little more than fanciful stories with _no_ substantiation to believe what you are saying. >These second shift creator gods are reptilian in nature and in their >exuberance in being able to genetically engineer, they forgot their >connection to first cause and wanted their creations to worship them.

This paragraph RIGHT here is why I posted. 1) There are LOTS of scientific studies of reincarnation that are VERY convincing (thought by defination, none are proof positive since that is NOT possible given the scientific definition of proof) but I refer you to Stevenson's studies of reincarnation memories in children, which scholarly enough for even you... 2) As I understand it, our memories are cloudy because we DO not want to remember... it is a traumatic time, and much denial of the origins of "beingness" prevents us from remembering just as people block out child abuse as a youngster... I would refer you to my post of Right use of will, which refer to 2 books (channeled so you won't like them) that are devoted to the story of original cause.

Its been so long since a skeptic has responded with such elegance that I was beginning to feel unloved and deserted. I was really beginning to think all the skeptics had all put me in their kill file. Skeptics are just inverted Christians, both stuck in their egos with no concept of their spirituality. My purpose is to get skeptics and Christians to quit focusing on their egos which are going to die and start focusing on the aspects of theirselves that can t die. In that part of ourselves lies our real purposes for being and our real goals. Bryan says >Really? And how are you aware of this? As a small aside, I might point >out that not enough solar energy reaches Mars for it to support >carbon-based life as we know it, thus making the 12 heli-humans figments >of your feverish imagination. Well I guess I should mention I had a friend come to my house to scan in over 80 computer enhanced photos of the mars face and structures for a forth coming book. I saw the pyramids and a definite circular structure with a number of structures on it. I also know the govt. is working on the Antarctica remnants. And they are not about to tell us what they are finding. >Well, at least you admit that needing to be saved is a bucket of crud, >but what of this business of reincarnation? Proof, please. Hell, even an >intelligent argument, please. What is a given about spiritual >immortality, by the way, and would you care to recount to us some of >your memories of first cause? Well gee Bryan it looks like its time for another discussion on reincarnation. I have been using GSR Biofeedback to assist people to remember their past lives for over twenty years. I have done well over 500 people with 90% of them getting memories of their past lifetimes. I have even assisted them to recall what they did after the body died. (Just to see if any went to heaven or hell, damn non did). I can take you or anyone else reading this into 20 of more of your past lifetimes. If you really think about it since you were there living the past life you should be able to remember it, I mean only a dummy would waste lifetimes worth of learning. I can also take people back to when they broke away from first cause and created their first creation. But at that point we were just a ball of light and for most that is a very unreal experience. Except they are still comparing that first creation with everything else they create. Much like taking you back to a life on another planet or a life when you were on a saucer it will be a very unreal experience. So for most I try to stay in the last 1000 years or so and try to keep their attention on a life on this planet. Just so it may be a little real to them. So Bryan what if we got together and I assisted you to remember 20 of your past lifetimes. How could we go about proving it? Don Showen Boy I love this net.

Well rj I would like to share my opinion of your opinion. :-) It sounds as I said before that you have only observed flaky channeling. You did not have enough patience or trust in yourself to work out the flakiness. It takes most channels a long time to clean themselves up and trust what is coming through. It is also a continous process of staying clean. But beyond that good channeling is presenting ideas and concepts that are unheard of among earth humans. These can provide rich sources of inspiration, upliftment, and empowerment. And even beyond that. You were given the opportunity to make this lifetime the standard bearer of your soul. Meaning that from this lifetime you could pull in and intregrate your parallel lives, past and future lives and your multideminsional aspects. To me that is a pretty exciting opportunity, although no one has to make that choice and few will. I have. And what do you do, negate the whole experience and call it psychism. Personally I spent a few hours observing psychism and it is not in any way related to channeling.

Druitt used his grandfather's postmortem knife (a "ripping knife" in medical parlance) -- the knife was recovered from his office in the Mineries, right by Parliament. It's in the possession of an English lady who was given the knife by an acquaintance of Chief Insp. Allardyne. Druitt was also a *dead ringer* for the Duke of Clarence -- their photos show them to be virtually identical -- thus the rumors over the years that "Eddie" was the Ripper.

For the uninitiated, Quirks and Quarks is CBC Radio's weekly science program. Zeta Reticuli figured prominently in the story, so I thought I'd add my 20 millibux worth. This is all from memory, so any inaccuracies are mine. ZR1 and ZR2 are not considered to be graviationally bound, and are about two light-weeks apart. They were brought up during the program because of details from a September 1961 abduction incident. I won't talk about the incident itself; that is covered well in _The Interrupted Journey_ by John G. Fuller (Dial Press, New York, 1966.) Apparently, during the abduction the woman was shown a star map. There was no scale given and no orientation specified, but there were lines connecting the stars that were on "trade" routes or "exploration" routes. A copy of the map was included in the Fuller's book, and when it was published, astromomers tried to find a match between the map and stars in our neighbourhood. In the mid-70's (I think) an amateur astronomer, working from a 3-D "beads on wires" model, found such a match. Interestingly, to spot it, she had to remove from her model all stars except for old, single, quiescent, main sequence yellow dwarves. All such stars in our neighbourhood were present in the map and only those stars. In addition, all the route lines were consistent with minimum distances. Her map was subsequently published in Astronomy magazine (I can't remember the exact date, mid-70's is the best I can do.) The Zeta Reticuli pair was most prominent in the original map, and many of the lines radiated from one of the two stars. Old Sol is on a "trade" route. (Has anybody tried to sell you a used saucer lately? :-) The program tried to present a journalistically balanced view of abduction episodes. A neurologist was interviewed; he attributed abduction events to hallucinations induced by hyperactivity in the hippocampus and the amygdala. An historian who has interviewed ~50 abductees (~300 episodes) was also interviewed; he says there are too many similarities in fine details between events to make it possible to dismiss them as hallucinations. He didn't discuss many of the details, doesn't want to spoil future data collection with fakes. I suspect that the show's host was more affected by it than he would (probably) care to admit. A few months later, there was a piece on the establishment of the first southern hemisphere SETI installation (in Chile, I think), and the host brought up Zeta Reticuli specifically. Reticulum is a southern hemisphere constellation. The interviewee said he wasn't privy to the targeting schedule, and it was left at that. My impression of the star map is that one could probably find a good match between *any* set of points drawn on paper and an actual star field, if one looked hard enough. On the other hand, this is the only solid match that's ever been found (there is one in Fuller's book, but it's way off.) I'd like to hear from a statistician on this point in particular, but if anyone has further information on the analysis of the map, feel free to jump in.

I do recommend you check out Stevenson's works, also the many studies on Near death experiences tend to touch on a reincarnational aspect of things... I'm sure there are others but can't think of any right now. Most of the "proof" I have seen tend to non repeatable events, thus no papers are written on it. There are many recorded cases of "information" gained thru regression, that is later discovered to be accurate and unknow up to that point. (I recall one case where a church basement was discovered which had been plastered over and closed for ages, and forgetten about by the current staff. No one knew of this vault till a regression pulled up a life time there, and when it was looked into, the predicted vault was in fact there. Proof, NO, possible explanation abound, but I tend to use Occam's razor, that if 100 cases can all be explained by this one theory, then it is fairly sound. > >[Seth refers me to two books] > >>You'll find them to be complete rubbish, since THEY CAN'T BE TRUE by your >>definiations.. but I am, learning to remember as a result of >>these books... > >I make no assumptions about the truth or untruth of channeling.

I would say that the mind is imbued and subject to psychic impressions from within, that is, from within our own inner psychic (Laya) center (realm), which is common to all of us at some depth in our collective unconscious Mind. I think we also face an enormous amount of psychic energy from the external world as well. Where you ARE aligned along the arc of descent or ascent, upon the "spiral" of evolution, may in fact, give an insight into the various amounts of inner vs. outer psychic energies that you or I (or anyone), may have and thus have to deal with and/or act upon during our individual lifetimes. To prove or disprove is not the point. My stance is to say to the buyer, beware. When you hear your own voice within, that is the one. )> I have not forgotten either.

That is up to you to decide always. How many paths does it take? All of them. Faith to me implies a certain division or duality that conspires with life. My own faith is defined by my "having to believe" and by my "effort to Will". It is not in the sense of worship, nor in my having to rely upon some other being, entity, or "God". To me, truth is a given, belief is a must, and faith is to Will.

When I did my channeling in 1972, there was direct communication from beings that I and my friends perceived to be from Atlantis. Back then, it was known as trance-mediumship and there weren't many books or people knowledgeable on the subject that we could learn from. It wasn't a matter of trust or being cleansed enough to handle the information that poured into us. There were three of us altogether that channeled these Altanteans. Once we made contact, we were veritable founts of information from another place and another time. We wrote down all sorts of things, from alphabets to spiritual hierarchies. We were also given a set of "cards" (ally forms, if you will) that represented various levels and symbolic systems of knowledge and wisdom. There were 4 suits or quarters assigned to each type of card and one of my friends painted their likeness on 6x9 pieces of wood. I held and used the ally that was perceived by us to be the Black or Dark Fox. This was a most powerful ally, and in reality and hindsight, I know now that we were not really prepared or strong enough to handle this situation. But it was a learning and had effectively "stopped my world". My channeling had brought be beyond my wildest dreams and then it was no longer of any use. > But beyond that good channeling is presenting ideas and concepts that are > unheard of among earth humans. These can provide rich sources of inspiration, > upliftment, and empowerment. That may be true. But remember, it is all part and parcel of the psychic realm. This is not to say that it is all contained within the person's head who is channeling. Psychic reality in my estimation, is found both within and without. But like physical reality, it is a reflective state of being. This is what I mean when I say it is a distraction and that I've sought to go beyond psychism. It is far more appealing and valuable to me to transcend the psychic realm and it's doings, to transcend the dual nature of 'mind and body'. A physical body can only "do" so much, and it follows that within the psychic realm, there is also just so much one can do. Channeling is a tool that is useful for some people to scope out the boundaries of the psychic realm. Once you've done that, you may see or understand where I'm coming from when I say my path is to transcend. But I can only speak for myself. > And even beyond that. You were given the opportunity to make this lifetime > the standard bearer of your soul.

I've seen many of my past lifetimes and I've experienced them all occuring at once. It was like a cup being filled. That's the best analogy I can find to describe it. I do not feel that I am negating anything, I'm simply defining my own reality as it has been revealed unto me. Channeling activity is a psychic manifestation because without a mind to enter and/or direct and/or to start and stop the activity, it simply will not happen. This just describes where the process takes place and does not make it anything more or less than anything else. At the risk of repeating myself, when you hear your own voice from within, that is the one. -- rj pietkivitch | "Moon, my long lost friend, is smiling from above." rjp1@ihburn.att.com | -- Genesis, Stagnation Path: ns-mx!uunet!convex!schumach From: schumach@convex.com (Richard A.

Don Showen So, basically, Mr. Showen gives us this incredible story that asserts that everything people (presumably christians) of another religion believes is totally incorrect, that our interpretation of history is a big sham/scam, and there is really no way to prove any of what he has revealed to us at this point. throughout his whole post he implies, "I am right and you are wrong. if you don't agree with me you are stupid and gullible. I have privileged information which must be absolute truth because everything other religions teaches me is stupid. I am so enlightened. I am so happy that I am, too - why can you all not see this, and follow the path I have chosen as well?" you see, mr. showen, you are not really saying anything basically different than what almost every (if not every) other religion says, which is, "all you know is wrong, and this is the only path to truth." and "gee, how enlightened i am - look everyone!" i can stand here and say with just as much conviction as you have that there is no god, no soul, no supernatural, and no magic, and that i am right and everyone else is wrong. what have i achieved? nothing. so why should i believe one person of extreme conviction over another, given that each one claims things which cannot be proven to my satisfaction? sew Path: ns-mx!uunet!fernwood!portal!cup.portal.com!Don_-_Showen From: Don_-_Showen@cup.portal.com Newsgroups: sci.skeptic,alt.alien.visitors,talk.religion.newage Subject: Past Lives Article Message-ID: <53205@cup.portal.com> Date: 22 Jan 92 19:15:35 GMT Organization: The Portal System (TM) Lines: 90 Xref: ns-mx sci.skeptic:19794 alt.alien.visitors:4036 talk.religion.newage:8697 Reprinted from San Rafeal Independent Journal Tuesday, November 16, 1976 Poking into people's past lives By Pat Angle Don Showen has been blown up on a South Pacific island, had his tongue cut out and been tied to a tree and knifed to death by a gang of kids. But don t send sympathy cards to his family all three painful and fatal experiences occurred in Showen s past lives. I guess I m just lucky, he joked the other day. This time around. the 33-year-old Mill Valley man is enjoying a relatively placid existence as a $25-per session reincarnation counselor. Amid plants, pillows and hanging lamps in a comfortable room at his home at 35A Lomita Drive. Showen helps people get in touch with prior lives It s called past incarnation awareness assessment and Showen has certificates from two schools of metaphysical counseling one in Los Angeles and the other in Portland which say he is qualified to practice the technique. Almost everybody who comes to me wants to find out they were somebody famous like Cleopatra or Jesus Christ, Showen said with a grin. They re really disappointed to find out they were just peasants or something. But I think the fact I ve never interviewed anybody who was famous in a past life in more than 5OO counseling sessions tends to prove that what people remember about other lives isn t just fantasy, he added. Showen believes that almost everyone has lived more than once and that people often can benefit by delving into their used lives For one thing, according to the counselor past experiences can provide insights into current troubles One overweight man who came in for counseling found he d been rich in one previous life, but desperately poor in another, the child of lepers, and had died of starvation at age 6. He was overeating to make up for that last life, Showen said. He also contends that shortly after death each individual makes decisions about his or her next life which will carry over into that existence and have a definite impact. He remembers one young woman who discovered in her last life she d been a man killed by Indians after being forced to watch his wife and children murdered by them. She told me she d decided to get back at Indians, Showen recalled. Finding that out really surprised her because she d just ended one of two really disastrous romantic relationships she d had both with Indians. After 500 reincarnation interviews, Showen said there appears to be certain correlations between past and present events in people s lives. For example. he said people who suffer from migraine headaches often discover they ve been decapitated in another life. And those who are afraid of water probably drowned once, while others afraid of crowds may have been burned at the stake. People who were burned had to watch groups of people really (excited) at their dying and so they hate crowds. he explained. Despite the till death do us part passage in the marriage ceremony. families tend to stick together in life after life, according to Showen. Husbands and wives come back as brother and sister, mother and daughter, father and son or even in the same relationship. One friend of mine found out her son was her father; the boy had been conceived on the long drive home from his grandfather s funeral. And one guy who had what he thought were homosexual feelings for his brother learned the two of them had been man and wife in another life. Showen has had some particularly interesting cases, including a 20- year-old girl with long, blond hair who determined she d been an African chieftain in her past incarnation. Then, of course, there was the man having trouble trusting people; he found out why by perusing past lives. In one, he d been a sheriff killed in a street gunfight after the deputy he d depended on to back him up didn t show, Showen said. And in another existence the man had been a crewman on a flying saucer and had accidentally blown up a planet because he d trusted another crewman s computations. The technique Showen shows is a very simple one; he asks people questions about their past lives and urges them to give the first answer that pops into their minds. The individual who comes for counseling holds in his hand a gadget called a galvanic skin response meter, a biofeedback device which measures the degree of a person s emotional arousal . When a person who talks about other existences shows a decided emotional response, that s an indication he s talking about a genuine experience, according to Showen. He usually begins by asking an individual about his last death because that s usually the most exciting part of most people s lives and so most easy to recall. Some people have a favorite way to die; one guy died by being frozen to death six times. The death question posed to a reporter produced a persistent mental red glow which, with a little assistance and encouragement from Showen, finally turned into a forest fire. A few more questions and the truth was out: the reporter had last lived as a Bulgarian horse trainer who d died in the fire in 1789 while chasing some loose horses. Despite such exciting disclosures Showen is not content to take people on trips into the past; he hopes soon to be able to usher them into the future as well. If you can get an idea of what you ll be like in the year 2100, tune into the talents and abilities you ll have then, why shouldn t you be able to use them now? he asked. Maybe you ll have great psychic abilities or invent something to make rain 150 years from today. So why not try to make it happen now?

Any books, >classes, other things that you would recommend? > Well, depends on the person, since each person resonates in different ways. Some I might recommend Meditation to start with, to learn to calm the mind down. Others don't need that. Some people need a teacher to help them with this stuff to start with, others don't. For instance, I used to meditate somewhat, but not regularly, and I studied channelling not to do it, but to understand it. WHen I decided I wanted to, I couldn't let go enough to do it. I only began when I wasn;'t expecting it to happen (during a hypnotic regression) and have been able to reach back to that state ever since. As a general rule, I would recommend the following as the best sources to learn HOW, as opposed to about. "Channeling" by Jon Klimo is one of the best "about" books I can recommend. 1) Opening to Channel by Sanyana Roman and Duane Packer this is a balanced approach to the whole thing, without any (much?) dogma, and much experience. They teach classes also. (H.J. Kramer 1987) 2) Attend some public and private sessions with a variety of channels. Figure out who feels like the best teacher for you, and ask them. Most channels are willing to teach the skill. Some (the more famous/expensive ones) probably will charge morefor less whereal the lesser ones will tend to give you a more personal approach. 3) READ channeling by as many different sources as you can (or listen to cassette tapes of them) Most channels explain how they started, and so forth. Most stories are similar in many facets. ANd listening to a variety of sources enables you to learn to discern the junk from the gold. I am the first to say that I do not like the content of certain channels and consdier them worthless. I will not get into WHO since that is not relavant here. But the main guideline is look for intelligence and willingness to explain fully. Most of the junky sources tend to spout dribble and not want to talk clearly. This doesn't mean that channeled sources don't get into tough topics which can be confusing, but that they attempt to EXPLAIN the material so that you understrandf it, not merely talk forthe sake of talking.

They all showed it. I tried to tape it from one of them, but as luck would have it I was taping the one which showed the least of it. I saw a longer version which I didn't get on tape. Part of it showed a large ball of light which periodically blinked brighter. I'm virtually certain that this part was out of focus, and the light was smaller than it appeared to be in this part. Another part showed two or three lights which appeared to be connected to a dark object. The object turned so more or less lights were in view at a given instant. Sometimes the lights appeared to blink. The object resembled an airplane, but I'm not certain that it was. The tape was shot by someone who wanted to remain anonymous, saying that "people think I'm crazy enough already." There were no reference points in the part I saw; just lights against a dark sky. >On January 12th and 13th, the objects reappeared in the sky >over the same area, additional photographs were taken. I didn't hear a single word about this. One of the stations had rapidly dismissed the initial sightings (or I should say "sighting"; they didn't say anything about "approximately 20 objects") as a C-130. The other stations simply said that the FAA didn't know what it was, and let the matter drop. (The station claiming it was a C-130 said that it was cleared to fly on a regular schedule or some such thing, so it didn't have to notify them when it took off.

After reading all this, I'm inclined to wonder whether the person taping from the ground could have taped the *wrong* object. Part of the tape did resemble a plane, as far as I could tell, but it would be pretty amazing for such a large number of people as claimed here, seeing as many objects as claimed here, to consistently mis-identify a plane. -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | I'm in a groove now Jim Shaffer, Jr. | uunet!cbmvax!vanth!jms | -- or is it a rut? 37 Brook Street | jms%vanth@cbmvax.commodore.com | Montgomery, PA 17752 | 72750.2335@compuserve.com | (Rush, "Face Up") Path: ns-mx!uunet!cbmvax!vanth!jms From: jms@vanth.UUCP (Jim Shaffer) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors,sci.skeptic,alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: CLIPPING: Recent UFO sighting(s) in Pennsylvania Message-ID: <jms.06s7@vanth.UUCP> Date: 23 Jan 92 04:16:38 GMT References: <1992Jan20.054806.10008@bilver.uucp> <jms.06rv@vanth.UUCP> Organization: The Search For TERRESTRIAL Intelligence Lines: 9 Xref: ns-mx alt.alien.visitors:4042 sci.skeptic:19804 alt.conspiracy:10873 I forgot to mention that the first report I saw on TV, before they aired the videotape, said that the lights were hovering.

Actually, there have been THREE proposed identifications of the supposed alien "star map" that Betty Hill drew after her 1961 "UFO abduction." I go into this in considerable detail in my book, "The UFO Verdict" (Prometheus, 1986), where I have a whole chapter on the Hill case. The first "identification" is, as Ron notes, in Fuller's book, "The Interrupted Journey." It is simply a visual match-up by Betty Hill of her 'star map' with a map of the constellation Pegasus. The second was the famous identification by Marjorie Fish, which gave us "Zeta Reticuli". Among UFOlogists, this is the only one it is "Politically Correct" to mention. It is a 3-D map of nearby stars, done by stringing beads on wires. It has major flaws that the pro-UFOlogists never talk about, that are too complex to write down here. They are in The UFO Verdict. Suffice it to say that there are many inconsistencies and 'ad hoc' decisions in it. The third is a pattern detected by Charles Atterberg, using pencil and paper to plot the nearby stars. His accounts for more stars than does Fish's pattern, and while it contains many non-hospitable stars for life, the three main ones just 'happen' to be strong SETI candidates.

Lines: 36 While driving home from work last night (Wed 22nd Jan) I saw an aircraft with rather odd lights, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify what I saw. The full story begins at about 6:30 pm, as I was driving south on the M1 into London. The sky was extremely clear last night, with good visibility of early evening stars. At a point about five or six miles outside London, I noticed a lot of aerial activity - several light aircraft, and a helicopter, which was intermittently using a searchlight. I would imagine this was a police helicopter, since they are quite a common sight. There were probably around half a dozen aircraft flying around the area, and they all seemed to be circling, rather than actually headed somewhere. Now comes the interesting bit. I noticed an aircraft crossing the motorway at ~200ft, and the configuration of lights it showed seemed rather odd - there were two lights, about 30-40ft apart, which were aligned in the direction of travel, ie at each end of the craft. One light was red, and the other white, and every couple of seconds, both lights would flash brighter, and then change colour, so the red and white were reversed. The lights on this object were quite different to the more familiar light configuration on the helicopter or the light aircraft, but seemed about the same intensity when they were not 'pulsing' before a colour change. The aircraft flew quite slowly over the road, in an easterly direction. I couldn't make out any shape to the object - all that was visible was the two lights. As I continued into London, I could still occasionaly see planes and helicopters, but I didn't see the two-lighted craft again. Can anyone identify what this strangely lit aircraft could be? I'm not at all familiar with aircraft light regulations, but I'm sure I've never seen a configuration like that before... -ian _______________________________________________________________________________ | Ian Taylor (x4097) | The opinions expressed |"Well money can't buy me | | Crosfield Electronics | here are not mine. | love, it's true, but it | | Hemel Hempstead, UK | God came to me in | can buy a red Ferarri... | | | a vision and told me | and BABY...that'll do..." | | imt@cel.co.uk | to do it. | Zodiac Mindwarp | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Path: ns-mx!hobbes.physics.uiowa.edu!moe.ksu.ksu.edu!unlinfo.unl.edu!wupost!uunet!mcsun!uknet!newcastle.ac.uk!news From: w.p.coyne@newcastle.ac.uk Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors,talk.religion.newage,sci.skeptic Subject: Re: Flying Serpents and Dragons Book Announcement Message-ID: <1992Jan22.092236.29675@newcastle.ac.uk> Date: 22 Jan 92 09:22:36 GMT References: <52697@cup.portal.com> <0PTieB3w164w@cellar.org> <52814@cup.portal.com> <1992Jan19.200915.17107@maths.tcd.ie> <53129@cup.portal.com> Sender: w.p.coyne@newcastle.ac.uk Reply-To: w.p.coyne@newcastle.ac.uk Organization: Chemical & Process Engineering Dept, University of Newcastle, UK.

In the Columbus example above, the existence, or lack thereof, of any other contactable place is verifiable. To make the analogy closer, assume that Columbus had been contacted telepathically by Indians and said he was going over there. In this case, he could use physical means to verify his otherwise vaporous claims.

True, do not accept ANYTHING just because it is said. But I find MOST people who look into channeling with an open mind tend to find something of substance there. Have you ever done that? Have any of you skeptics out there checked out a few of the more "quiet" and intelligent ones? I know of a number of people who channel who are selfskeptical and are glad to share what THEY found to convince them. Most of the "good" channels are. They have been convinced, not by a priesthood or by self delusion, but by events which, I admit, are not repeatable experiments, but then NEITHER is ANY psychology or other "mind" involved events.

Zeta-1 and Zeta-2 are 4000AU apart. The apparent magnitude of one at the distance of the other is about -9 in the V band (in comparison Veuns at it's brightest is -4.4 and the Full Moon is -12).

In fact a simple astro text book and the Bright Star Catalogue would give you all the info you need to figure it out. In terms of "double" it's both: physical and visual. The period would be very long but the star is close enough to separate the components visually.

All true - the main sequence lifetime for G stars ia bout 9 Gyr. I read a paper in Astron.Astrophy. (I don't have the refernce handy) that puts the age at about 6 Gyr (i.e. older than the Sun) in other words quite well-evolved enough for intelligent life to have developed... Most of the G stars in the solar neighborhood are < 3 billion years old. If the Sun/Earth are "typical" then the # of "usable" stars within 20 parsecs of the Sun isn't too large - couple hundred or so... One other point: most intro Astro books will tell you that the Sun is a normal boring G star. The truth is that it is nearly impossible to find a star that is a very good match to the Sun. There are a handful of examples but most of them have one or two idiosyncracies that get in the way...

There is sufficient evidence to tell that it's not a projection effect (moderate resolution spectroscopy). The change in spectral line position for two solar-mass stars sep. at 1/20ly is too small to be measurable (I think), certainly < 0.1 km/s. Common proper motion is about all you have to go on, plus I think it you look at other known visual binaries you'll see that separations of a couple thousand AU's isn't uncommon. Bob D.

The star map that closely matched the Hill description is the Fish Map. It was created by Marjorie Fish, as you described, in the mid-70s. As to alternative interpretations, I believe there are/were two. Both involved the assumption that the map described by Betty Hill involved "forced perspective", e.g., the "double-star" in the foreground isn't an actual double star, but a perspective showing a "home star" in the foreground and a near neighbor in the near distance. One of the alternative maps has the aliens coming from Tau Ceti. Interestingly, all three more-or-less plausible maps include Tau Ceti.

YOU are the one claiming to "know" the truth. *IF* you do really have the right line on what is real and what is not, then it is incumbent on YOU, not ME, to prove what you are claiming.

Sade, laughing, > grimly agrees." - Camille Paglia, "Sexual Personae" Thanks for that information. The "Ummo" case is still vivid in France. A few months ago, a "Directeur de Recherche" -Research Manager- of the CNRS -National Center for Scientific Research- published a book about that. His name is Jean-Pierre Petit, and the title of his book must be "Enquete sur les Extra-terrestres qui sont deja parmi nous" -Investigation on the ETs who are already among us-. Here is a summary of that book. The "Ummits" are so-called ETs who are in contact with several persons, especially in Spain. They communicate with the contactees via mail, sending them information about their planet, their arrival on the Earth, ... The first thing is that they landed on Earth around 1953, which of course invalidates the possibility of Einstein or even Marx to be one of them. They have described quite precisely the place where they landed: it is near Digne in the south of France. JP Petit has been there and found that the description was so accurate that only someone who had visited the mountains around Digne could have written it. After that, they spread to Spain, and several other countries, and began to study our society. In the letters they sent to contactees, they told about several incidents which happened to them, and again, JP Petit found articles in some spanish nespapers relating strange things that have arrived then (like the finding of one the Ummit labs). The "Ummits" are allegedly quite similar to us, the only difference being that they have a stain on their body. They live on a planet revolving around a star that is yet to be identified (it is much like the Sun, G6 class if my memory serves well), about 15 light years far. Their system of government could be qualified of "communist". In the letters that contactees receive, there is not a single trace of humor or metaphor. Still today, people keep on receiving letters from them (26 years after the first ones !). The only condition for being chosen is to show interest in the case, by going to meetings with other contactees for example, and not use the letters for one's own purpose. It seems that, like in lots of other abduction cases, the contactees have used the letters for their own publicity. JP Petit asserts that the "Ummits" stopped writing to them at once. But there are still many meetings around them with people saying that their parents are ETs, ... (example taken from the book). The most interesting thing about that case is that JP Petit has used, or found inspiration to be more precise, in some of the scientific material found in the Ummit letters to publish Physics articles in refered publications. His articles deal mainly with the possibilities of parallel universes, time, general relativity. JP Petit is regarded as quite prominent in those fields. He believes that the Ummo letters can only be written by people having a very extensive knowledge of general relativity, and physics. I must say that he is very much biased towards believing in ufos, and he has carried out studies about their mode of propulsion. He thinks that MHD is bound to be the solution (he is also an expert in that field BTW). Nevertheless, I personnally think that he has kept all the characteristics of a good scientist. I am sure that he considers all that "New Age" stuff as having nothing to do with real Ufology, for example. Sorry for not quoting exactly which publications JP Petit made. I left the book in France, and it will take me time to get it back. -- =---K8>>@@@@@@@@ Marc Milanini @@@@ marcmil@microsoft.com @@@@%% Path: ns-mx!uunet!world!kibo From: kibo@world.std.com (James 'Kibo' Parry) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors,alt.religion.kibology Subject: Re: Albert Einstein from Ummo ???

There's one thing that bothers me about the argument that similarity of details is evidence that something physical happened: What if the abduction experience is somehow encoded in the structure of our brains? I don't mean that it was encoded there *by* anyone, I mean that when certain stimuli are applied (such as in Persinger's experiments), the brain goes into a particular mode of operation that reads a different "program" than the normal one. Look at it this way: if you jump to a random location in your computer's memory, it will probably crash. But *another* computer (of the same model, of course) will crash the same way when you jump to the same location. OK, let's say you don't like the computer model. After all, the brain isn't a computer, and someone had to put the computer program there and cause it to be the same in all computers. Let's try a natural model. Consider the Mandelbrot set.

Put up or shut up? I say to you: open up or stay closed. If you stay closed, don't seek me out to talk with you. I will respect and honor wherever you wish to be in your own evolution.

You wrote vividly that you hadn't seen any evidence, didn't care to see any evidence, didn't want to see any evidence, and basically weren't interested in any evidence for UFOs. I think you made yourself quite clear & I freely quoted the first Caliph of Alexandria because he was the most outlandish philistine I could think of on short notice. My remarks have no religious significance at all -- the guy was simply a blinkered ignoramus of gigantic proportions. Sorry if it bothered y ou -- go back & read what I was responding to, though. As to channeling, I agree with you. I think channeling is a crock & it's totally screwed up this echo. If you want to see evidence for UFOs, I'd suggest picking up Night Seige by Phil Imbrogno. Or, by the sound of things, you might just drive up to Scranton some night and watch the skies...

I agree, but I would allow that "energy beings" or at least beings capable of travelling dimensionally *would perhaps have some difficulty* in leaving such traces, due to the nature of their means of transport.

Ryk, if I could show you conclusive proof I would be a happy man. Some of the best minds around are grappling with the UFO phenomenon -- and many of the rest of the folks interested in this have sunk into New-Age Channeled cryptobabble. No other subject today has a broader spectrum of scholarship & belief than UFOs (with the possible exception of JFK-assassination theories).

A couple of weeks ago, I posted in this conference, a "plug" for AstroNet, a network of BBS's in Australia and New Zealand. We had previously been echoing ParaNet info down under, but were mysteriously "cut off" for no apparent reason. The reason ended up to be based around petty UFO group politics, which is a shame in my opinion. I pursued the ParaNet sysop - Mike Corbin via several means, and eventually he had the 'courtesy' of replying, in a rather rude manner. That was some time ago - and I let the matter drop. Imagine my surprise when I opened my mail-box and there was this letter from Mike Corbin (see below) now wanting to "engage in meaningful dialogue". I have, at the risk of being "sued" or "barred from InterNet" enclosed below the messages from this strange fellow. I have several questions of you guys up there (USA). 1). Can Mike Corbin fulfill his threat of barring me from using InterNet, if so, how? 2) Referring to his accusation of stealing stuff from copyrighted ParaNet files - can someone actually retype a newspaper article onto a computer network and claim the copyright for it? 3) Is he [Mike Corbin] always this unpleasant to people? Get your cheque book out Mike, and sue the tits off me!!!!! This is what threats get you.

Thanks for YOUR time, Duncan Roads, Nexus Magazine, Australia. G'day Duncan! Glad to see you had the nerve to respond to my little letter. Actually, I knew it was you, but didn't want to offend anyone else until I knew by confirmation. I knew it was you by the cheap shot you took in the alt.alien.visitors conference. It had that same "Fletcher" quality of "if I can't beat them, slander them." Before I say anymore, I would like to comment on your so-called "professional" journalistic ability. I was highly disappointed to see our private e-mail being sent out in public information packets. Where I am from, it is highly unethical to publicize private transmissions, and in some cases, it is actionable by law. Just so we both know where we are, I am telling you that I will not engage in any discussion with you until I have your assurance that whatever is written is kept private and not republicized. As a further precaution, I will hereby (C) 1992 Michael Corbin. All Rights Reserved., any portion of these communications that we have. Therefore, if anything is seen in public, I will have an action against you for violation of this copyright. But, is that really necessary? Actually, the real problem is that I just don't have time to play little games. As you mention above, I really don't care what you or your group of Aussies think about ParaNet. I don't care what John Komar or his little group of MUFONites thinks either. The plain and simple truth is that ParaNet is the absolute best. You see, there is ParaNet and then there are those that "wanna be ParaNet." Although you might feel this to be pompous or arrogant, it is the simple truth. ParaNet is now going on its sixth year of operation. In the places that really count, ParaNet is well liked and respected. I don't worry about "other" networks simply because they have not demonstrated the same track record that ParaNet has. Their leadership is laughable, and I would just about bet that the way that most of you have reacted to what has happened is because deep inside you know this to be true. I will state that Bob Fletcher is a liar and a childish manipulator. He is the worst kind of scum, and only that kind of scum could betray a friendship such as what I thought that him and I had. There was no reason for what he did to cut off ParaNet from Australia the first time a couple of years ago. The only motivation was that he wanted to gain control of the name in your country for his own agenda. Since you are not interested in truth, I will not go into further detail here, but suffice it to say, there are enough ParaNet people who can attest to his actions, and know that it was not instituted by me. I found out that the only reason he was desirous in re-establishing his contact to us was that he had hatched a plan to raid our files and charge for access to his BBS as well as to provide material for your magazine, all without acknowledgment of where it was ripped off from. I noticed in the one issue of NEXUS that you sent me, there was material that was taken from ParaNet, all without any acknowledgment whatsoever. I don't know about you, but here that is shameful and dishonorable. However, when the final death bell was sounded for you guys is when Fletcher took exception to my separate arrangements with Vlad Godic. It had nothing to do with Fletcher, nor you. It was not designed to affect your link other than to provide a reliable feed to the serious people who were more interested in ufology than silly games and politics which have nothing to do with ufology. Bob cut the feed off, and I have the messages archived to prove it. I don't give a damn if Fletcher kissed your ass to prove that I cut you off, the truth is the truth, and I can prove it far beyond whatever Fletcher's lying face says. Finally, ParaNet is a business just like NEXUS. I don't have to put up with any shit from anyone, period. Again, you nor anyone else can adversely affect ParaNet by your dribble. I have heard this shit so much before, I am used to it. The truth is self-evident. The funny thing is that the observing public can see right through your veil and have ascribed your actions to jealousy. YOU were not cut off by me. Fletcher cut you off and didn't have the guts to inform you of his decision. I would have seriously entertained establishing a feed to you, however you demonstrated your true agenda and I find that you are just like the rest of those that we would not allow in ParaNet simply because you are not interested in truth. So, as far as I'm concerned, you have found your network of second choice, MUFONet. I hope you enjoy what you get. And, finally, a word of warning. Internet is much different than FidoNet. The difference is like sandbox and college. In Internet, there are rules of conduct. Just remember that anything you do in Internet can adversely affect your status there. This message is a private communication to you. I do not give you permission to publish it anywhere. Should it show up anywhere within Internet or public, I will have your user status revoked immediately. Also, if there are any further postings that are derogatory to our organization or myself, I shall also take action to have your user status revoked. If you don't think this can happen, give it a spin. Never let it be said that I do not try to be fair. If you have anything further to say, I will be happy to discuss it with you, but I will not play any more games.

Why would (supposedly rational) governmental agencies want to do such a thing? If I can't figure out a motive behind supposed cover-ups, I have a hard time believing a cover-up would actually take place. It can't be to deny the existence of alien intelligences. NASA has begun a very public SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) project. We wouldn't have gotten funding if some people didn't think it was worth the effort. To justify the effort, one has to admit the possibility of ETI's, but, at the same time, if we knew where they were, we wouldn't have to search for them. In the famous Watergate SNAFU, the reasons behind the attempted cover-up was obvious. Ditto in the Iran-Contra fiasco. But why would anybody want to suppress aliens, psi, "paranormal" activities, etc.? A cover-up would be practically impossible in most government agencies, since paperwork trails can never be completely obscured, and documents always seem to be leaked or declassified eventually. Watergate and Iran-Contra proved that there is always some evidence. How could a large-scale cover-up have occurred for many years without any verifiable evidence appearing in the public eye? Either there has never been such a cover-up, or somebody has been VERY careful. Why? I admit I'm just here in alt.alien.visitors for the amusement value, not because I take any of this stuff seriously, but I'm interested in what motives might drive supposed government cover-ups.

The assertion made by the neurologist was much the same as yours, namely that the kinds of hallucinations experienced by "abductees" will be strongly similar. Some of the specific effects he mentioned were: a sensation of floating (apparently common in abduction stories), distortions in perception of the passage of time (accounting for lost time), disruptions of long-term memory storage (accounting for amnesia) and hallucinations of abstractions of human faces (accounting for both similarities and differences between "aliens" and humans). I think there were other specific types of hallucinations mentioned, but I can't recall what they are. All the effects mentioned above are transient, that is, they last only as long as the period of hyperactivity. The neurologist also discussed the "transcendental" aspect of the phenomenon; that is, the experience (once remembered) tends to permanently alter an individual's world-view. I think this has also been described in conjunction with the relationship between temporal lobe hyperactivity and religious conversion. One interesting aspect of the interview was the historical dimension of the phenomenon. In past ages, people would have interpreted events of this sort as demonic possession. The shift to an alien abduction interpretation is relatively recent. On the other hand, real alien abduction incidents (if true) would also probably have been interpreted as demonic possession too, so we can't use this aspect of it to get at the truth. One facet which the neurologist did not address is why *both* people involved in the event experienced hallucinations simultaneously. I don't know if an external stimulus could produce such an effect, or how often this kind of disorder occurs, so that remains an open question. -- -RJH (ron@vort.cuc.ab.ca) Path: ns-mx!hobbes.physics.uiowa.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!unix.cis.pitt.edu!seawasp From: seawasp+@pitt.edu (Ryk E Spoor) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Re: ARIZONA: UFOs/JFK Message-ID: <201453@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Date: 26 Jan 92 15:43:29 GMT References: <1992Jan26.150515.11170@cbnewsc.cb.att.com> Sender: news@unix.cis.pitt.edu Distribution: usa Organization: University of Pittsburgh Lines: 50 In article <1992Jan26.150515.11170@cbnewsc.cb.att.com> jtg@cbnewsc.cb.att.com (Redheaded Goddess) writes: >Mary Ross writes about the possibility that the ets use >different vibrational frequencies, etc. (Please note: this "different vibrational frequencies" mumbo-jumbo is straight out of the 1930-1950 era space opera science fiction genre.

On a more genteel plane, milady, to demonstrate that you can contact "another" reality, all you need do is produce some physical result on yourself that follows from the actions of this other reality. For example, only eat something in that other reality for two months.

The mind is a complex thing. Yep. Called psychosomatic illness and other things allied to it. The mind IS a complex thing, and the mind coupled with the body can do amazing things, including releasing endorphins and a whole host of other chemicals which can inhibit pain and change other bodily functions. Many diseases can be affected by state of mind BECAUSE of the bodily functions that one's attitudes affect. Depression or fear place an immense strain on the body; a shaman/faith healer/psychologist/Medical Doctor can sometimes relieve these fears and replace them with a different attitude that frees up immense resources for the body to use in fighting off disease. Shamans and so on often fail because they are in the position of offering cures for faith. An MD is generally expected to give all sides of the problem, including the fact that no cure is 100% certain. But the MD can produce the same result in people that have absolute faith in him by simply saying "this treatment WILL make you better." But the key is belief. If you believe the shaman/psychologist/faith healer, his treatment has a good chance of working... because HE isn't going to help you... it's your own mind and body that will. This has nothing to do with other realities; it's the marvelous functioning of the biological mechanism that is the human body, controlled by the human mind.

If this could truly be done (i.e., a person take in no food or water for, say, a few weeks and still be alive, let alone not losing weight) it would be the biggest news in medical history. If it could be done it'd be being studied about as intensely as anything else in history, since the implications (even ignoring the "other realities" question) are titanic. Anyone who could demonstrate such an ability could write his own ticket. And I'd find it hard to believe that only people totally uninterested in demonstrating their technique would gain these talents. >BTW, in mentioning about the yogi who stays motionless near a tree, >he does NOT eat any food whatsoever. Also, yogis have been known >to accomplish phenomenal feats (such as being locked in small >boxes for days, etc.).. That's not so hard to believe; I can easily believe in a state of suspended animation that allows a person to go comatose for some number of days (maybe up to a week) and still be alive at the end of it; after all, a lot of animals hibernate for longer than that. But I'll bet the yogi loses some weight during that time. Now, if he could do that same stunt in a box the same size which, instead of air, was filled with pure nitrogen, THAT would impress me. >Many modern discoveries help man to apprehend the cosmos as a varied >expression of one power--light, guided by divine intelligence. The >wonders of the motion picture, of radio, of television, of radar, >of the photoelectric cell--the amazing "electric eye," of atomic >energies, ar all based on the electromagnetic phenomenon of light. True. Although there does not seem to be anything mystic about that. Also, there are other powers known: a total of four, in fact. There is the strong nuclear, or "color" force, the weak nuclear, the electromagnetic, and the gravitic. The interesting thing is that while relationships can be demonstrated between the first three, giving reasonable ability to fit them into a single theory, gravity stubbornly remains an "unrelated" force.

Exactly. This is why I test all the concepts that I read about on reality itself, and compare it to the knowledge I glean every day in my life. If there is a concept I cannot understand or verify, I merely hold it in storage until the day I can realize the true natures of the concept. It is my perception so far that there is truth in what some channelers are saying. It was not based on unconditional gullible belief, but from an understanding of the concepts and the successful application of those to my reality (i.e. your beliefs form your PERSONAL reality). So, I'm pretty sure that if you were to read the books yourself you would be able to discern for yourself if those concepts are valid or not. Maybe you'll read them and find you are not interested in them, in which case you go along your own path, experiencing life according to your wishes.

I think I understand what you're talking about. I can see it accounting for the so-called 'near-death experiences' of seeing the light at the end of a tunnel, of the feeling of being a disembodied spirit looking at oneself on the operating table. But putting together a complicated abduction scenario with unknown beings seems to be going quite a bit too far. We see similar stories within regions, but other geographical areas often seem to have different alien types assigned to them. There are quite a few aductees who claim to have been taken in a perfectly lucid state of mind, requiring no hypnotism to uncover the details. Their descriptions match the ones of those requiring hypnotism. And there are reports of groups of people seeing the same beings at the same time (i.e., they see the same scenario, not just the same faces). I wouldn't doubt that your idea might account for some phenomena, but I have a hard time seeing how it would cause this one. Greg.

So many people seem to think/assume that philosophies are 'just talk'...but when one incorporates/creates a quest within himself.. perhaps taking the route of a mystic tradition...it is then direct experience, no longer mere speculation. Of course, one person could never "explain or prove" reality to another.

The soul in its nature is a current; the nature of this current is to envelop in itself all that may come along and meet it on its way. The soul collects all that comes to it.

It may not aid Joe Scientist down at NASA, but those involved would probably like to keep whatever they learn to themselves - again for reasons of national security. Some of them may be worried about public panic - about the effects on organized religion, on the economy, and (perhaps most importantly) on politics. A conservative friend of mine gets emotionally upset any time I mention the possibility of alien visitors, just like it bothers him to be around people of different races/cultures.

Neither you nor I know how good the government is at cover-up operations, since we don't know about the successes - just the failures.

The history of trickery and self-trickery in paranormal things, and the discoveries in psychology of various things (self-delusion methods, the mind filling in gaps in observed reality - eg the eyes blind spot) all these things make it vital to have claims which can be tested experimentally, with repeated experiments. > So, I'm pretty sure that if you were to read the books yourself >you would be able to discern for yourself if those concepts are >valid or not.

"This is the most famous 'astronaut UFO' case, and it has been embellished and distorted in dozens of publications. McDivitt saw a 'beer-can shaped' object which he took to be another man-made satellite (some observers believe it was his own booster rocket), and tried to take a few photos which did not turn out. A still from the movie camera (which McDivitt insists he never touched during the sighting) was mistakenly released without the astronaut's review, showing what turned out to be a light reflection off his co-pilot's window, according to McDivitt. UFO buffs took this photo and acclaimed it as one of the best UFO photos ever taken, showing (they claim) a glowing object with a plasma tail. McDivitt never saw anything like that in space.

The author came from a skeptical point of view with regard to paranormal phenomena per se, but he had some claims about government shenanigans which were pretty bizarre in themselves. For instance, he spoke at length about the Majestic-12 documents, asserting that they had been forged by the U.S. Air Force in order to discredit UFO researchers and get them to stop poking their noses into secret U.S. military test flights, which the UFO community often mistook for UFOs. [A strategy which seems to have backfired, if this is true.] The only other detail I remember concerned a member of the U.S. Congress who kept a self-styled psychic on his payroll.

That sounds something like, "Every man is my master in that I may learn from him...". I like that one too. I have greatly enjoyed this written battle. It has provided a lot of entertainment. Thats why I read this, by the way. Entertainment. Yup. That's it. On an intellectual level, I am disheartened by the fact that the discussion did drop to personal attacks. Oh well. Cant have everything. If I were a judge, and Im not, but if I were a judge here, mind you this is strictly my opinion -- my opinion is not god's, OK? But if I were to judge the outcome, I would say that Scott won. If Kathy had maintained her cool in the face of the onslaught, she could have retained credibility. The reader would be comfortable that she was self assured and well seated in her position. At this point, I'd give the points to Scott for breaking through what was a sterling defense. Kathy did a great job, but lost the battle in the final seconds before the whistle. So what does this mean? Unfortunately, it means nothing. It means nothing because this is entertainment and not a way-of-life. Kathy will go on being a New Ager, and Scott will go on studying physics and mathematics. In the immortal words of Kurt Vonnegut, "And so it goes." Lucky for us the Ukranians are not selling arms to the New Agers and the Physicists. Otherwise, we'd all wish we were in Croatia now.

Yes, the famous McDivitt "tadpole UFO" (so-called because of its shape). Jim Oberg has the details of this one, too, in his "UFOs and Outer Space Mysteries." This *was* a genuine UFO, sort of, because it was a satellite in earth orbit, and its identity was not *absolutely* certain. Its position, appearance, and orbit matches up pretty well with one of the Soviet satellites (I forget which one). But, you guessed it, certain UFOlogists offered proof positive certain that the satellite in question was just a *little off* from the position of the object that McDivitt saw, so he must have seen a "real" UFO. It all depends on which you think is more likely: Martians in earth orbit, mimicking a Soviet satellite, or somebody's calculation of the orbital position of a satellite, years after the event, is a little bit off. McDivitt, by the way, always said that the photo touted by UFOlogists did NOT depict the object he saw. That, it seems, was a grossly overexposed reflection of sunlight off a bolt near his window. What he saw was too faint for the hand-held camera to pick up. -- Robert Sheaffer - Scepticus Maximus - sheaffer@netcom.com Past Chairman, The Bay Area Skeptics - for whom I speak only when authorized!

Ever hear of Einstein's 'cat naps', or his dream about riding on a beam of light? How about Edison's 'meditations', where he would 'nap' with steel ball bearings in one hand, holding them above a metal pie plate. When he got too deep, the ball bearings would drop into the pie pan, waking him up. And of course there is the great Tesla, who not only got his ideas during altered states of consciousness (alpha level - halfway between sleeping and wakefulness, the dreaming state), but did all of his experiements IN HIS IMAGINATION. Only when an experiment worked IN HIS MIND did he actually build anything, and well over 90% of his experiements worked the first time. Edison should have done this - I understand that he spent THOUSANDS of tries trying to get the light bulb right. If you are interested in learning how to do this, take Silva Mind Control (8,000,000 graduates worldwide), or some other similar program. If you don't care to actually do your homework and find out about things like this before criticizing, perhaps your uninformed criticisms could remain private? >>Kathy >Scott Gary "Never try to teach a pig to sing - it's frustrating for you, and it just annoys the pig" (maybe I should take my own advice!)

If you are not knowledgeable about an area, how can you possible comment on it with any intelligence at all? Also, Ryk, are you happy with your life, the way that things are going for you? It sounds like this is not the case, like you need something more in your life. No, I am NOT religious, but living one's life without knowledge of a soul, a higher self, God/Goddess/All That Is seems very empty to me. Are you full of life, Ryk? Are you fulfilled as a person with your beliefs? From your criticism, it seems not, but maybe you truly are happy the way you are. I hope so. Kathy may have some good points, and you may or may not agree with them. Is that OK with you? It doesn't sound like it. Personally I agree with a lot of what Kathy has to say, although I don't agree with everything, of course. But I completely agree with her right to say it. Did you see "Dances With Wolves", by any chance? There was a wonderful scene where the wise Indian chief was holding a bull session to decide what to do about the white man who came to live nearby. Everyone who wanted to speak was allowed to do so, and NO ONE was commented on/questioned/criticized. It really was a revelation to me, since criticism is one of societies biggest problems, and I personally grew up with a LOT of it. Ryk, you might learn something from this scene. Rent the movie and watch it, if you would. Ryk and Kathy, do you enjoy beating each other up? Perhaps you could respond directly to each other, unless you think that it is that entertaining to the rest of the newsgroup. Of course, it may be like the soap operas - "Tune in next week for the exciting saga of Ryk and Kathy, etc...", with the majority of the readers of this group tuning in just to read about you two. Nothing personal against either one of you, but are either of you really growing as individuals by doing this? Perhaps you should both read the quote below, and stop trying to teach pigs to sing.

Good question - Scott is a very threatened, insecure person. He is threatened by women in general, and Goddess is obviously a threat, a woman with threatening views, disagreeing views, and anything that disagrees with him is a threat. If he indeed is in some sort of teaching capacity, I would hate to be in his class. I'll bet that students learn real quick not to disagree or offer an alternate opinion. Scott, are you a father, by any chance? Are you this offensive with your children also? Perhaps you should look at this before having any children of your own, or becoming a father of any kind. If you can't resolve this issue, perhaps a vasectomy is the best solution for your problem. Do you have any pets? Animals are very sensitive to human moods and feelings, and even animal don't always do what you want them to do. Think about it, Scott.

Ryk, there >really doesn't have to be evidence of a soul. Nobody owes YOU any explanation The mind percieves things through the mechanism of the body. The mind being a construct of patterns that cannot be directly ascribed to a simple physical map of the brain, it can in that sense be called an "unmaterial" part of the self. If that's what you want to call a soul, then fine. But I don't see that as mystical. The mind-body dichotomy only exists if you view it in a simplistic fashion. In actuality it's the interaction of the body with the environment, through its initially hardwired responses, that produces the mind. The mind is the computer program, so to speak, while the body is the computer. It is not necessary for the computer to have a third part to determine that it has a program -- the fact that it functions proves that both exist and are functional. >at all, except yourself, of course.

I've spoken with a wide variety of people on these subjects, including ministers, three witches, a wizard (he calls himself that so don't blame me for using the term), several new-age crystal believer types, and so on. Thus far none of them have been able to come up with any evidence of a "soul" whatsoever. It's like any other religion, it's a matter of belief, and by Occam's Razor I'd rather take the simpler explanation. Thus, instead of three parts (body, mind, soul) I take body and mind, which satisfy all the requirements. >Also, Ryk, are you happy with your life, the way that things are going for you? >It sounds like this is not the case, like you need something more in your life. >No, I am NOT religious, but living one's life without knowledge of a soul, a >higher self, God/Goddess/All That Is seems very empty to me.

But then, the question still remains as to who is right and who isn't. If you're a relatavist, okay, then that question ceases to have meaning.

Some time back I studied shiatsu in a DoJo (means "Place of the Way", I believe) and I remember the sensei telling us about working with 'intangible forces'. Phrases such as invisible light wave frequencies come from some place within my being (or maybe I read it somewhere? ...I do not know) -- my conscious mind not fully understanding all (and that is acceptable and all right with me) Perhaps there will be a moment in time when all will be understood what is represented behind those words. Intuition has its' movements and waves of energy, and light its' many spectrums. For the scientists and skeptics will probably never enter a DoJo as part of their search, or bow down in humility in a sacred manner to pay honor for all that a DoJo represents and symbolizes. It is my thinking that a when many come back to a realization ( a realizing...bringing reality to earth) of their true essence, they will have made openings in themselves that permit the creation/ connection of the light wave frequency body which will enable them to penetrate the sphere of the 'intangible'. Different worlds, different realities, maybe, but in the end, all inter-connected at some level of being. When one enters/penetrates the intangible, he may meet the angelic presences and ETs of higher luminosity light. Analytical minds, I doubt, will ever achieve this connection/knowing/ awareness/realization as long as they stay in intellectual mindsets. When they do not make the awareness, they will continue to scoff and sneer and rant and rave and rail against others who no longer fit their mould/and closures of their particular mindset. We are not just mind, we are not just body...we are mindbody and much, much more. We are multi-dimensional beings. Is there any one out there who has studied in a DoJo? Just curious...

I'm not sure how to quote in Netnews, but I'll have to find out sometime. If you focus on a very distant goal, Tom, it can look very discouraging. It's happened to me. The key here is to break that goal up into many little mini-goals that you can achieve one at a time. It is important, however, that each of those mini-goals have some degree of importance to them, and therefore are satisfying each time you achieve them. You seem to find your work unfulfilling and a waste of your time. It's obvious now that you should begin changing your path one at a time, then. The easy part is laying out a plan, with phases, steps, substeps, etc. It might be harder doing some steps, but if you can get a measure of satisfaction and pride from making each step, then you WILL find find the energy to make the whole journey to the ultimate goal. This seems better than waiting till you reach the ultimate goal to reward yourself. I don't have all the answers yet. I have my goals to achieve, and I have times when I feel exhausted or low on patience. Currently, however, I'm focused on learning how to enjoy life, so that I can draw upon that energy to move along. It seems to me that emotion and self-expression is the key. There are times I'm thinking that the emotions that I'm feeling are of the limited scope that I sometimes experience, and then suddenly I'm surprised at an awesome burst of exhilirating emotion (when alone and playing with emotions) which makes me redefine how rich emotions can be. I DO know that at this point, I had organized my life in a very 'safe' way, to the point where it was ridiculously easy to feel very little emotion. The price, however, of such a skill, is depression at times. It seems very clear to me that there is a lot of rich energy to be found when one is very self-expressive . I have been watching 'popular' and well liked people, and they all have been very expressive. This shows very clearly when they are communicating with others, which draws a lot of attention. The ones who are not expressive are usually sullen and quiet. Try and see for yourself, studying people's faces as they talk. You can get a general idea of the differences between expressive and not so expressive people. So, lack of expression can lead to stress and tension (a sense of uptightness). The unreleased emotions bang around inside, making it hard to relax. Affirmation about oneself does require an emotional support as well. I don't say it's easy to suddenly be expressive. There's the fear to face, the fear of looking utterly ridiculous when expressive, the fear of emotions running away, the fear of hurting others when overly emotional, etc... There's an answer to overcoming the fear, a question I'm pondering now...

This is all I know about Sea Wasps. During the WWII (Basil, whatever you do, dont mention the war.), people on Pacific islands would get stung by these things and die. Also, there were sea snakes called "Three Step Snakes" because you could get three steps after being bit and then you would die. But these are much less poisonous to people than Sea Wasps.

I don't know what sense you attach to the term "responsible" above (as in "each of us are fully responsible for our experiences") but surely people who are murdered are not *morally* responsible for their own murders. Also, it is hard to see how someone can be of service to me by mugging, raping, or murdering me. If someone were to rob me, would they deserve my thanks? Typically people who perform a service are owed gratitude, are they not? If someone is murdered, it is their murderer who is responsible for their murder, and no one else. The same applies to rape (no matter how much society tries to blame women for their own rapes) and any other crime. I would grant that people have far more control over their own circumstances than they usually dream they do. I would even grant that there is some sense in which a person may have a hand in everything that happens to them. Still further, I believe that people have control over what will happen to them in the future and that their beliefs play a role in this-- who would deny such a thing? But I think you have gone too far to suggest that people are responsible for everything that happens to them or that everyone is always of service to others no matter what they do... these views seem morally absurd to me. -- David Corner ** Internet: dcorner@cygnus.acs.calpoly.edu California Polytechnic State ** dcorner@eos.acs.calpoly.edu University, San Luis Obispo ** Bitnet: DI429@oasis.calpoly.edu ******************************************************************************* Path: ns-mx!hobbes.physics.uiowa.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!samsung!olivea!isc-br!tau-ceti!geraldb From: geraldb@tau-ceti.isc-br.com (Gerald Bryan (Denver)) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors,talk.religion.newage,sci.skeptic Subject: Re: EVIDENCE TYPES (was Flying S...Announcement) Message-ID: <1722@tau-ceti.isc-br.com> Date: 29 Jan 92 04:43:33 GMT References: <1992Jan27.124023.4881@newcastle.ac.uk> <1992Jan28.180422.20610@ultb.isc.rit.edu> Organization: ?

Perhaps what he has against her is that a) she has insulted him repeatedly (yes, I know he has returned the favor) and b) she seems to miss his main point which is that evidence should be foremost in any discussion. How can you convince someone else without evidence? The powers of self-delusion and madness are such that anyone else's (or even one's own) "revelations" must be taken with a grain of salt. Tesla, etc. who have been mentioned earlier had the great virtue of immediately testing their ideas. Maybe (as the person said in their note) most of the experiments worked, but not all. Some failed, because no series of guesses no matter how inspired are likely to be all accurate, and if your premises are wrong, none will be accurate. >You pick on her because of her beliefs, yet you quote the BIBLE! You call >that >a book of truth? Is your best come-back a number of outdated sexist remarks? Actually, I suspect Scott took up using the bible as a means of fighting fire with fire, a weapon of absurdity versus absurdity. Unless he's had a radical conversion since the last time I've talked with him, he's rather skeptical about religion in general. He's no more likely to put up with the radical matriarcy (rulership by women) of the Goddess types then he is to put up with the sexist claptrap of the fundamentalists (most other christians I have met tend to be genuinely nice people and not at all sexist). >As for the books on your shelf, you probably have 5 copies of Playboy...... >After all, no women would put up with your sexisty crap, so you could only >get your thrills from such magazines.

There are many clever cues like this in the show that appear during a second viewing.

During 4 years in Japan I rented many videos on the subject of UFOs. These were packaged from TV specials shown in primetime. The Japanese are very serious about UFOs, but given my knowledge of Japan and the rip-offs prevalent their I always wonder if the viewers are just being taken. (Like why is it that same TV celebrity always manages to catch a UFO on her home video camera just in time for another trip through the talk show circuit?) After seeing lots of video I have become much more fascinated with testimony from ex-military and ex-intelligence (sic) officers. I have been out of the country so long that I would appreciate being updated on the best and most comprehensive books concerning UFOs (with plenty of the type of testimony mentioned above) that are written by respected researchers in the field. No New Age BS please!! If the book uses pseudo techno-jargon it's not for me. I just want accounts and a piecing together of the pattern that has emerged. In Japan, the theory put forth goes like this: 1. UFOs crashed in New Mexico. One near Roswell one elsewhere. There was a survivor of the crash who died in captivity. The army got the UFO parts. (Interview with plenty of people who saw artifacts from the crash. Talk with the kid of a military guy in charge of the crash site who brought stuff home. Everyone is in agreement that the pieces were as light as balsa wood, but could not be broken. Some had strange writing on them.) 2. This crash and others was probably caused by high-powered radar that was commonly being used at the time that supposedly screwed up the navigational systems of the UFOs. The aliens quickly adjusted and the crashes ceased. I've also heard that there was a mid-air collision, but that's not the Japanese version. 3. This contact led to a successful planned contact in the early 1960's with an alien in the desert. 4. A general understanding has developed between the US and one type of alien (btw, an official Canadian document concludes that a study of the phenomena shows that extraterrestials from at least 5 (7?) other star systems regularly visit the earth). 5. The type the US is in contact with is the little guys with big heads, large eyes, small nose and slit mouths. These ones can be on the aggressive side apparently. (A good partner for the US, I figure.) 6. The deal between the US and the aliens is that they can study US citizens with no reprisals if they give us technology. (Neat footage of a Japanese camera crew going to Groom Lake Nevada and coming away with video of an object that changes size and shape and appears to disappear momentarily only to reappear nearby; all common UFO phenomena.) I wanna go there but I hear the place has groupies nowadays (anyone been there?) 7. The US is kept informed of who is picked up and where. There is supposedly a list of 200,000 people that have been picked up. An interview with an ex-military intelligence officer tells that he has even seen pictures in some cases of mutilated humans when the aliens have gone too far. 8. The experiments are supposedly for genetic research. The claim is even made that some of the small type aliens are artificial beings (drones) genetically manufactured by another type. The experiments continue, they say. Specific stories that interest me: 1. That people in the space shuttle once saw a UFO. (Audio tape recorded by amateur radioist played on Japanese tv, voice of the shuttle pilot compared to known recording from same mission that aired on This Morning America, sounded like the same guy to me.) The most interesting thing to me was that as soon as it was seen the pilot reported to ground control that he had spotted an "alien spacecraft". The implication was that he was familiar with what he was seeing, rather than calling it a bogey or a UFO. 2. That a British man took a photograph (blurry of course) of an alien he encountered while hiking(?). 3. The triangular ships with lights on each corner being seen in Belgium. Also some sightings in the US. This is interesting because the type of ship didn't match types traditionally seen. A new 1992 model? Or a new type of alien on vacation? I know this is all old news on this newsgroup, but the postings here obviously need to be more focused. Anyone who once was, or can lead me to, high-level ex-military personnel who have seen the evidence is invited to e-mail me at: tvp@gibdo.engr.washington.edu Like I say. I'm beyond looking at interesting photos or videos and listening to people describe what they saw. I'm more interested in the eyewitnesses to the apparently massive federal documentation of what is going on. I want to get an idea of the picture painted by this documentation. -- tvp Path: ns-mx!hobbes.physics.uiowa.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!cis.ohio-state.edu!rutgers!att!cbfsb!cbnewsc!jtg From: jtg@cbnewsc.cb.att.com (Redheaded Goddess) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Re: Intangible Forces (Undoubtedly crap) Message-ID: <1992Jan29.123016.27789@cbnewsc.cb.att.com> Date: 29 Jan 92 12:30:16 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Organization for Titian-Haired Beauties Lines: 18 S.

On the show, McDivitt looked to be in his late 50's. To me this would imply that over the years he had yet to be convinced that the object was ever successfully identified. He saw something, but can't prove it. For some reason this reminds me of the story I heard of Admiral Bird (sp?) who was flying solo over one of the magnetic poles, and reported that he was suddenly seeing tropical forests and dinosaurs, but of course could never prove it.

The course is 8 days and includes many experiential exercise and processes to get a person to the point where they know they create their own reality. The processes are proprietary and so Star's Edge licenses each master to deliver the course based on their ability and understanding of the material. Many people have written about the nature of reality and it was certainly something the great sages and masters taught. The written word merely points to the experience. The Avatar course gets a person into *feeling* and experiencing their ability to create reality. There is very little reading in the course. The 8 days is a deep exploration into consciousness.

This notion of pre-determinism is bunk. > > Get a life. I have apparently pushed one of your buttons and fanned one of your beliefs - that there are victims. The belief that victims exist is one of the most limiting beliefs on the planet. My post was not about pre-determination - it was about every persons ability to create the experiences and events in their life based upon the beliefs they hold. When we all come to the realization that no one is a victim, that there are just experiences, and that we create our own reality - moment by moment - then people will cease to give over their power to other beings who want to control them. One cannot be victimized unless one has a deep seated belief that they are a victim and is willing to play that role for the other party. Everyone has and uses the ability to create their own reality. Most do it unconsciously and create against themselves. All of the crimes we label as murder, rape, robbery, etc. are the result of self-limiting beliefs that are held by the individual and by mass-consciousness. The perpetrator and the so-called victim each carry self-limiting beliefs about themselves, each other and the world. I also believe that the person who is mudered cannot be killed. The body may experience pain and die but who they really are is beyond form, time and restriction. Each of us came into this life to experience something. I also do not believe in Karma. That too is a self-limiting belief. Each of us are unlimited beings, unique and separate, yet ONE. We create our own reality. All of this can be known if one is willing to dive into the nature of reality and experience how consciousness creates in order to experience itself existing as the creation. It is the judgment we place on our experiences that gets us into trouble. Life just is and is here to be enjoyed. When all of us take responsibility, 100%, for our reality we will live in a world where people will appreciate one another and no longer create against themselves.

The swordblade was not fashioned for oppression or villainy, nor grapes for the wine-press harvested. Jesus by the wayside saw a body slain, tossed aside; he touched his finger to his lips in wonder.

If Einstein had believed that, we would still believe that solid matter is really solid. The same goes for Edison and Tesla - they all used their intuitions to get their inspirations. Einstein was famous for his 'cat naps', and gained most, if not all of his inspirations from them. And his dream about riding on the beam of light led him to his theory of relativity. Tesla was by far the greatest genius when it comes to using the imagination and intuitions. He not only would meditate (light, dream-like sleep state), but would do all of his experiments IN HIS IMAGINATION. Only after successful imaginitive experiments would he ever build anything, and his success rate was over 90% on the first try. Edison would take 'cat naps', holding steel ball bearings in one hand over a metal pie plate. When his 'meditation' got too deep, the ball bearings would release from his hand, hit the pie plate, and wake him up. Then he would do it again, until he got another idea. It's too bad for him that he didn't use Tesla's approach - he could have invented the light bulb in one try, instead of the thousands that it took him.

The truth is relative, and depends on the belief systems of the observer. The earth used to be flat, right? Do you know that there is scientific evidence proving that plants are psychic? Check out Cleve Baxter, if you don't know this (I believe that is his name - his is one of the formost world authorities in dealing with polygraphs). Not that I am hot on plants - just thought of it as an example. This being the case, then EVERY biological experiment done with plants EVER has been corrupted, due to the influence of the experimenter.

For an assignment in my Communications Law class I have to try to obtain some documents from the Federal Govt, through the Freedom of Information Act. Since I have always been interested in U.F.O.'s since I was young and remembered hearing about Hanger 18 I thought about using this, for my assignment. So my question is does anybody know of these specific or the names or numbers of any documents the government has on file pertaining to U.F.O.'s.

They disguised the transmitter as a TV tower, and the whole TV station was run by aliens. It was their command post. As I recall, their whole sneaky plan began to unravel when clever Earthling invented some funky eyeshades that foiled their beam.

Hopefully the others on this net will do likewise. The idea of the FAA denying UFO echos on their radar and then blithely bulk erasing their tapes in two weeks really gets my dander up. Assuming they actually *do* erase such tapes, which I highly doubt. Reminds me of Jacques Vallee's numbing experience as a boy-astronomer, doesn't it? In his first job out of college, he saw his superiors examine tapes that showed a UFO. They erased them as fast as they could. Vive la France!

The basis for the predator in the film seems remarkably similar to the reports...that the chupas only seemed to attack armed hunters. It would be fascinating to locate the persons who Vallee alleges bought-up all of the Brazilian film/files/etc regarding the subject phenomena. He alleges in the book that these persons were U.S. citizens. A book I am even more interested in a Net response in is the UFO Handbook. This book provides more good stuff on investigative techniques and how anyone interested in the phenomenon should gird the loins with healthy skepticism. On the whole, the author (slips my mind right now) seems to lean toward the belief that "something is going on" and "*wants* to believe that there are UFO's" but the tools he describes in the book are inadequate to come to a satisfactory conclusion with respect to UFOs. The UFO Handbook is impressive because it describes how multiple *qualified* witnesses can be mistaken about IFOs (identified flying objects). The book describes the use of Geiger counters, binoculars, radar, etc. and how these tools can be used and what their limitations are. Especially interesting is the Tools chapter on Statistics. =========================================================================== Paul White plw@rayssdb Raytheon is not responsible for my opinions =========================================================================== Path: ns-mx!uunet!usc!news From: dyett@phad.hsc.usc.edu (Donald Yett) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Re: periodic snopes check (was reality) Message-ID: <komr9vINN47@phad.hsc.usc.edu> Date: 2 Feb 92 04:02:07 GMT References: <1992Jan24.230602.6095@cbnewsc.cb.att.com> <201419@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Distribution: usa Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Lines: 8 NNTP-Posting-Host: phad.hsc.usc.edu Why don't you guys take this and the "Scott The Great" discussions to alt.religion.newage or alt.flame... -- +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------ | dyett@phad.hsc.usc.edu | I will not be pushed, stamped, filed, indexed, | Just my opinions! | briefed, debriefed, or numbered! -The Prisoner +-------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Path: ns-mx!uunet!wupost!uwm.edu!linac!att!cbnews!cbnewsl!fec From: fec@cbnewsl.cb.att.com (f.e.carey) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Kirtland AFB Message-ID: <1992Feb2.041354.16838@cbnewsl.cb.att.com> Date: 2 Feb 92 04:13:54 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 24 Has anybody ever tried to discover how much information is already available about those places that seem to be the focus of out interest?

Listen. All you religious Zealots out there. Whatever religion it happens to be -- religion of the christians, buddists, taoists, or Shirly MacLaine, The reason people get mad at discussions centering on unprovable belief is that such discussion has no apparent aim than the self-satisfaction of the sender. To many people on this newsgroup, voyeurism is not the "unrecognized truth and wisdom" that the perpetrators of such fanaticism claim it to be. Most of you are extremely well educated and well read. In most cultures, the wise men/women, the Shamen, the Priests, the Oracles, do not practice exhibitionism. Consequently, to someone who expects a person of deep wisdom and understanding to be controlled and reserved, a person who proselytizes does not seem to be wise. The "look at what I have and you dont" type of posting frequently seen here, to a thinking person, seems like childish playground activity. This kind of radical, uncontrolled fanaticism is particularly dangerous to young people. As a father, my loathe for such behavour runs deep. As its appropriate for this type of discussion , Ill cite that venerable sage Woody Allen, "I wouldn't belong to a club that would have me as a member". I have a feeling there are no Shamen on this net. True Shamen would follow the words of Woody. Which means Im not a Shaman. Im not anything but interested in the subtle truths of this topic. The best things in life are subtle. Wine, sex, food, movies, books, the moment of finally understanding what has been with us all along but never perceived, the first words of a child, the sigh that betrays anothers love for you -- any of these could be blasted away by a fleas breathing. And if there is any reality for any of us for the phenomena discussed, in theory, on this net, then it will be found in the nuances of the perception of human history and the bluing of the ink black sky at dawn. You will gain no respect from the true believers by hurling superlatives and unprovable mythology from computer amplified cannon. The true believers are sifting sand, one grain at a time, to find the "truth" written on one of those grains on this goddammed beach.

I have never heard of S4 but Area 51 is getting to be fairly commonly known amongst those of us who are aviation freaks. The area is shown on maps as "Groom Lake (dry)" and was known to the CIA folks as "the Ranch" for one and sometimes "Dreamland" for another nickname. The upshot of most of the Groom Lake facility is that it is where the first U2's were tested in the 50's. It is also where the first Blackbirds, the CIA's A12's were tested and operated from. You would also find that the Lockheed Have Blue aircraft, the proof-of-concept vehicle for the F117A Nighthawk, were tested there. The Northrop TR3A Black Manta, of which we still know very little was supposed to have been tested there (really an outgrowth of both the THAP - Tactical High Altitude Penetrator - and the CSIRS, which I don't recall the meaning of). More than likely the Lockheed Aurora is flying out of there and is probably responsible for a lot of questions - an aircraft called "the pulser" probably flies out of there as well. Lord only knows (and the USAF....) what other good shit comes tooting out of Groom Lake late at night. >Also, my friend would be interested in any new data on >Hangar 21.

Something very sinister is going on. Polls reveal that over 90% of the americans people believe in UFO's and 95% of these people believe the government is keeping this knowledge from the public. But Why? Are they afraid the people will panic if an "Official" announcement were made? Hardly. Such an announcement would create interest and excitement and many questions, particularly by the churches, but do not panic. Why then the continued cover-up? There is overwhelming evidence in the past several years from "Whistle Blowers" retired military officers who have finally said, "Enough is enough! It's time the government told the people the truth!" These officers, such as Navy Intelligence officer, William Cooper, Major John Lear (whose father founded the Lear Jet Corp.) and Air Force officer William English, to name but a few, have all discovered the truth, and at the risk of their very lives, are trying to alert YOU to the secrets behind the UFO's and the Alien Presence on this earth. These people worked on the secret projects, had access to 'classified' Top Secret documents , had seen with there own eyes 'captured' aliens, or extreterrestrial entities, UFO's and the incredible technology they brought with them. Sightings of UFO's have been reported throughout history, and biblical and historic references to "Flaming Chariots" huge flying 'birds' and odd looking beings predate our history by thousands of years. In the 1940's several alien spacecraft were recovered by the U.S. and other countries, along with a few dead aliens and one live one they named EBE (a name suggested by Dr.Vannever Bush and was short for Extraterrestrail Biolgical Entity). In 1953 astronomers discoverd large objects in space which were moving toward earth. At first they believed they were asteroids, but later evidence proved the objects could only be spaceships. Project Sigma and Project Plato intercepted alien radio communication and using the computer binary language, was able to arrange a landing that resulted in face-to-face contact with alien beings from another planet. Meanwhile, a race of human-looking aliens contacted the U.S. Government, warning us that the aliens orbiting the equator were hostile beings from Orion. These human-type aliens demanded we dismantle and destroy our nuclear weapons, that we were on a path of self-destruction and we must stop killing each other, stop polluting the earth, stop raping the earths natural resources and learn to live in harmony with one another. President Eisenhower rejected these demands. Later in 1954 the race of aliens, known as Greys, from Zeta Reticuli area in space, who had been orbiting the equator, landed at Holloman Air Force base. they stated their planet was dying and needed quarters on earth to conduct genetic experiments theat might allow their race to survive; this in exchange for certain technology. President Eisenhower met with the aliens a formal treaty was signed. The treaty stated the aliens would not interfere in our affairs and we would not interfere in theirs. We would keep their presence on earth secret; they would furnish us with advanced technology. They could abduct humans on a limited basis for the purpose of medical examination and monitoring, with the stipulation that the humans would not be harmed, would be returned to their point of abduction, that the humans have no memory of the event. It was also agreed the alien bases would be constructed underground, beneath Indian reservations in the 4 corners area of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. Another was to be constructed in Nevada in the area known as S-4, about 7 miles south of area 51, known as 'Dreamland'. A multi-billion dollar secret fund was organized and kept by the Military Office of the White House, supposedly to build secret underground sites for the President and the staff in case of military attacks. By secret Executive Memorandum, NSC5410, Eisenhower established a permanent committee known as "Majority Twelve" (MJ12) to oversee and conduct all covert activities with the aliens. This included FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and six leaders of the 'Council on Foreign Relations, known as the 'Wise Men' and later others from the Trilateral Commision. George Bush, Gordon Dean, and Brzezinski were among them. A major finding of the commision was the aliens were using humans and animals for a source on glandular secretions, enzymes, hormonal secretions, blood and in horrible genetic experiments. The aliens explained these actions as necessary for their survival, that if their genetic structure were not improved, their race would cease to exist. The ruling powers decided that one means of funding the alien project was to corner the illegal drug market. A young ambitious member of the Council on Foreign Relations was approached. His name is George Bush who at the time was preident and CEO of Zapata Oil Co. based in Texas. Zapata Oil was experimenting with offshore oil drilling and it was arranged that the drugs could be shipped from South America to the offshore platforms by fishing boats, then transferred to the U.S. shore by normal transportation, thus avoiding search by customs agents. The plan worked better than anyone expected, and today the CIA controls all the world's illegal drug markets. One should remember, it was George Bush who first started selling drugs to our children. The drug money was used to finance the deep underground alien bases. Conclusions: the Bilderburgers, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commision are the SECRET GOVERNMENT and rule this nation through MJ-12 and the study group known as the Jason Society. Throughout history the aliens have manipulated and/or ruled the human race through various secret societies, religion and the occult. The CFR and the Trilateral Commision are in complete control of the alien technology and the nation's economy. Eisenhower was the last president to know the entire overview of the alien problem. Succeeding presidents were told only what MJ-12 wanted them to know, and it was NOT the truth. MJ-12 presented each new president with a picture of a lost alien culture seeking to renew itself, build a home on this planet and shower us with gifts of technology. Each president has bought the story hook, line, and sinker. Meanwhile, innocent people continue to suffer unspeakable horrors at the handsof alien and human scientists who are engaged in barbarous research that would make the Nazis pale in comparison. As if that is not enough, many people end up as food for the insatiable alien appetite for biological enzymes, hormonal secretions and blood. At least 1 in every 40 Americans have been implanted with alien devices that are used to control them if necessity calls. By 1989 over 3 million 'Greys' are occupying these deep multi-level underground complexes. Level 7 at Dulce is called "Nightmare Hall". They have welched on their agreement on abducting humans; today over 25 million citizens have been abducted and implanted, a literal army awaiting oreders to march! (Whitley Strieber has written bestselling on his personal expierience as have many others). For this reason other nations were informed. Within 5 months the communist monolith Russia was dismantled to unite with the U.S. and it's technology to fight the invasion. The Hubble Space Telescope was created to keep a watchful eye on the invasion fleet; Star Wars technology has been developed to hopefully stop them in outer space before they can get to the earth. Today, the government is on the horns of a dilemma. Too may sources are releasing alien information. The public could get angry at continued secrecy. So MJ-12 plans soon to make an "Official" announcement, under controlled conditions, probably Area 51. Network TV will be called to meet the staged 'landing' of the aliens, these being the Greys. They will come bearing gifts, technology that supposedly will heal Cancer and AIDS, retard aging, etc. They will tell us they are 'saviors of humanity' who have come to defend the earth against an invasion of man-eating aliens called Reptoids. This story is a LIE, they already work for the Reptoids! Their plan is to unify the world into a One-world Government, a 'New World Order' with the argument that only this can defeat the invasion by Reptoids. This is a trap to enslave the world's population. Control will be accomplished through the money system, a universal currency controlled by certain international bankers, who for years have been lackeys of the aliens, who seized upon their greed and lust for wealth and power as a means to bring about their evil plan to control the earth.

It is true that such a star could be identified very easily if the Ummit letters were more specific. Again, I don't have the book with me, but I recall that only two or three stars were corresponding to their description. So far, no hint has been given to choose among them. Your calculations are certainly correct, a star like the the Sun would be visible to the naked eye at such a distance. What bothers me the most in that story is the fact that the Ummits warn the contactees never to accept anything that they write as granted. On the contrary, they should always doubt of the letters they receive. > >-- > > Robert Sheaffer - Scepticus Maximus - sheaffer@netcom.com > > Past Chairman, The Bay Area Skeptics - for whom I speak only when authorized! > > "Simply follow nature, Rousseau declares.

As I told you, JP Petit, although very much biased towards believing in ufos, is not the kind of guy to be abused by the kind of stuff that I read from time to time in this newsgroup -especially today-. He doubts himself of the story he tells in his book, but the scientific content he found in the letters makes him think that at least very imaginative and knowledgeable people are behind it. As far as I am concerned, I believe that JP Petit could very well transform certain science-fiction books in refered scientific articles. So, that case is very likely to be a hoax. I would like to be more familiar with the Ummit litterature to make up my mind by myself. -- =---K8>>@@@@@@@@ Marc Milanini @@@@ marcmil@microsoft.com @@@@%% Path: ns-mx!hobbes.physics.uiowa.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!sdd.hp.com!news.cs.indiana.edu!umn.edu!cs.umn.edu!lynx!carina.unm.edu!vjmurphy From: vjmurphy@carina.unm.edu (Phred T.

Yes ,the small GIF-pics I also downloaded here from the various newsgroups, where they were posted in uuencoded format. It was the picture: MARSFACE.GIF with 20715 Bytes. It showed only the "face". Inside the GIF pic, there are 2 original frames. Frame 35A72 and Frame 70A13 compared in RAW and Enhanced format. But the resolution is only about 100*100 pixel in 256 grey shades! Much more important is the picture inside the book called: " Live on Mars" by Mr. Johannes from Buttlar It is of course an enhanced picture, but there the resolution might have been 1000*1000 pixels with greyshades ! It shows a lot more of the Cydonia region, where the "face" is located ! The face measures 1.5 kilometers in diameter. 15 Kilometers west there are a few "pyramids" located !!!! They are so rectangular and also their shadows are so clearly straight, that this hardly can be an optical delusion ! And also the fact, that they are so close to the face, makes me wonder, if the "face" is not an optical delusion at all! And this picture inside the mentioned book must be also another picture, than the 2 originals which were posted in the GIF-pic, cause the shadow of the face goes into another direction (different deegrees of angle), than the shadows on the GIF-pic. I will post soon the picture from the book in *.JPEG format inside the various newsgroups here on the newsnet, so all people could also see the "pyramids". But before I would like to see the original pictures from the Mars probes, so I can see, how much the picture inside the book was enhanced ! So if You know anbody, maybe DiPietro or Gregory Molenaar, who had introduced the pictures to the public, or anybody else at JPL who knows, where the original pictues are stored, You might ask them for a copy and put in on any FTP Server ? Inside the book, it was told, that about 300.000 pictures were done by the probes and that only 60.000 are evaluated. The other 240.000 pictures are still located unevaluated inside the archive of National Space Science Data Center in Greenbelt,Maryland. Maybe You know somebody over there or You can mail me an email-adress of somebody I can send a mail ? I'm very interested in all this UFO-stuff and want to have facts. I have the equipment(24 bit scanner and realtime color framegrabber) to do digitizing and converting to movie like animation with the SVGA FLI-player from Trilobyte for TV-quality animation on PCs with SVGA cards. So, who has a few good ufo sighting video tapes, which could be digitized and put to a FTP to share it with the people from the net ? You can also email me a contact adress, where I can buy a few . So lets find the truth and share it with all interested people. When will be the new MARS Observer launched ? I didn't followed the recent events. When will it reach Mars ? By the way, there was the rumour here in the alt.alien.visitors-newsgroup, that the probe Phobos II has taken some pictures of an cigar shaped object (ufo?), before loosing contact to earth. Does anybody know, if this is true ? Has anybody seen the last pictures, Phobos II has sent to Earth ? Hope to get answers. Many thanks in advance.

Bearden (with his permission) which appeared in the Proceedings of the 26th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, August 4-9, 1991, Boston, Massachusetts. They can be found in volume 4 in the section entitled 'Advanced Energy Concepts'. The titles are "Utilizing Scalar Electromagnetics to Tap Vacuum Energy" by Floyd Sweet and Tom E. Bearden (pp. 370-375) and "On a Testable Unification of Electromagnetics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics" by Tom E. Bearden and Walter Rosenthal (pp. 487-492) Except for the unsupported conjectures dealing with mind, thought and life, which bring his results almost into the metaphysical realm, I find these papers to be very intriguing and compelling. They deal with a theory (supported by some experimental evidence that Mr. Bearden will expand upon in the near future) that, if correct, will have revolutionary impacts on energy, environment, military, aeronautics, space travel, engineering, etc. Thus the posting of this notice to the other associated newsgroups. You need not be a physicist to appreciate Mr. Bearden's comments. As you can see in the "Followup-To:" line, I am directing discussion to alt.sci.physics.new-theories, since that is the most appropriate place for discussion. If your site does not receive a.s.p.n., then let me know, and I can send you summaries of whatever discussion follows (hopefully a lot). Of course, if your site doesn't receive a.s.p.n, then ask your sysadmin if it would be possible to receive it. BTW, Mr. Bearden is not (yet) on the net, but he has agreed to let me be a go-between, and I'll try to post his comments on whatever discussion ensues. If anybody is interested, I do have his phone number and you can call him for more information and/or clarification. He'd be happy to talk to you. I hope you find these papers as intriguing as I have. If nothing else, it will help you to firm up your foundation of physics. Please, let's keep an open, yet critical mind, and let's not allow the discussion to develop into a flame war.

Image processing is a hobby of mine, and I've played around with the two images off and on for the past few years. My opinion? It's a pile of dirt. The "pyramids" around the area are mountains, naturally occuring. I've paged through Richard Hoagland's (?) book on the marsface and saw some pretty pictures. He even has schematics for what the underground city looks like. I haven't read it, but I see no basis for such detail on a civilization when all we have to go one is two pictures. I hope one day to write a program that will extract 3-D information regarding the image from the shading. Right now I'm in the middle of porting all of my standard tools over to windows, so it will be a while before I can implement it. I have a lot of code to write and a lot of theory to go through. The Mars Observer should be going up sometime late this decade or early in the next. From what I understand, the mission team has has decided to take several high resolution photos of the "city" up close.

The Stealth fighter and B2 bomber were tested there and Aurora is >>based there now. ... >Aurora is a very high altitude recon plane? Aurora is a name for a black project that was accidentally released in, uh, 1985 or 86 I think, in a congressional budget report. The generic information that has been slowly seeping out is that we are dealing with a high-altitude recon aircraft of some sort, possibly unmanned. It may be hypersonic in the sense that speeds could be well above the Blackbirds Mach 3.2+. There have been test vehicles that have flown in the Mach 10+ range, according to some reports, although these may not have been connected to Aurora. Keep in mind that Aurora may be just a bogus code name, but there DOES appear to be at LEAST this black aircraft (more, really.....). Aurora is one seriously damn blackworld project and there is precious little information about it. A number of people who have been digging around on it are reputed to have been visited by the folks in the blue suits and told to back off. I can't verify that, but that is what I have been told. Names I can't and won't name, in part because a number of these folks actually may work in DOD-related areas, and unfortunately, this newsgroup does NOT enjoy a reputation for being a source of factual information. I post this information in the hope of spreading about what little appears to be common knowledge and may be reasonably accurate until such time as more becomes available, rather than relying on a bunch of tabloid-based rumours.

(lots of blather deleted) Come on guy, THINK before you post. If you're interested in this stuff, do your homework first or you look foolish. "Intelligence Officer" William Cooper? Where in the world did you come up with that? Not his newsletter I hope. Cooper is one of the most bogus bozos in the business! If you had checked, you would have found that Milton W. ("Bill") Cooper (Social Security Number 442-44-4234) was an enlisted man, not an officer, discharged in 1975 after spending 3 years as quartermaster for an intelligence briefing team. The highest rank he achieved in all his 14 years in the Navy was QM1, pay-grade E6, hardly a level that would have access to the top secret information he reports. I'll send you a copy of his DD256N (honorable discharge) if you like. The last time I saw John Lear (about 2 years ago) he was conducting UFO seminars in Las Vegas at $5.00 a head. He has a whole list of off the wall claims ranging from who shot Kennedy (his driver) to the source of AIDS (CIA - to make room for the greys) to UFOs in the desert (Robert Lazar.) William English says he's a retired Air Force officer who served in England in the middle to late 70's. He first surfaced about 1980 through a Tucson based UFO group. I have copies of affidavits he gave Linda Howe but no docmentation as to his background. Not only are your sources out of the lunatic fringe but the case you make is full of holes. Why would George Bush, an obscure Texas oilman in his young 30's at the time, be appointed to a top secret high level presidential advisory group? I think Brezinski (assuming you mean Zig), was still in Poland at the time. He too would have been in his young 30's and not even a US citizen. Again, how would he ever end up on a such a high level commission? The Hubble Telescope, "Star Wars" and the fall of the Soviet Union all had origins long before 1989. Alien space craft that zap across the galaxy faster than light aren't threatened by a chemically powered rocket that spits brilliant pebbles. Hubble to watch the alien fleet? Get real. Legend has it that Truman, not Eisenhower, established MJ-12. Oh, I just noticed the part where you say "it was George Bush who first started selling drugs to our children."

When she saw the earlier version of this book, she was very impressed by the images in it. Early that next morning, after thinking about the possibilities, she picked up her guitar and channeled both word and music to the song above. She played it for her husband who recorded it, set down the words, and had a friend score the tune. One hearing this song properly experiences the sensations in their inner being that urged Christi to create it in the first place. A few years ago, when Christi was 24, she was taken aboard an extraterrestrial spacecraft operated by human beings just like us and, after examination, was treated and cured of a serious illness. She was then taken on a conducted tour of the spacecraft before being returned. She has since then learned that these humans came from what we call the Pleiades.) -|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|- | Walter D.

Bearden (with his permission) which appeared in the Proceedings of the 26th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, August 4-9, 1991, Boston, Massachusetts. They can be found in volume 4 in the section entitled 'Advanced Energy Concepts'. The titles are "Utilizing Scalar Electromagnetics to Tap Vacuum Energy" by Floyd Sweet and Tom E. Bearden (pp. 370-375) and "On a Testable Unification of Electromagnetics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics" by Tom E. Bearden and Walter Rosenthal (pp. 487-492) Except for the unsupported conjectures dealing with mind, thought and life, which bring his results almost into the metaphysical realm, I find these papers to be very intriguing and compelling. They deal with a theory (supported by some experimental evidence that Mr. Bearden will expand upon in the near future) that, if correct, will have revolutionary impacts on energy, environment, military, aeronautics, space travel, engineering, etc. Thus the posting of this notice to the other associated newsgroups. You need not be a physicist to appreciate Mr. Bearden's comments. As you can see in the "Followup-To:" line, I am directing discussion to alt.sci.physics.new-theories, since that is the most appropriate place for discussion. If your site does not receive a.s.p.n., then let me know, and I can send you summaries of whatever discussion follows (hopefully a lot). Of course, if your site doesn't receive a.s.p.n, then ask your sysadmin if it would be possible to receive it. BTW, Mr. Bearden is not (yet) on the net, but he has agreed to let me be a go-between, and I'll try to post his comments on whatever discussion ensues. If anybody is interested, I do have his phone number and you can call him for more information and/or clarification. He'd be happy to talk to you. I hope you find these papers as intriguing as I have. If nothing else, it will help you to firm up your foundation of physics. Please, let's keep an open, yet critical mind, and let's not allow the discussion to develop into a flame war.

I mean, I don't mean to sound as if I own the bandwidth here, but it seems to me that the key question is NOT "Did space aliens build a giant face to stare at us poor, directionless humans from the surface of Mars" but rather, simply put, "Does the close-up interpretation of frames 35A72 and 70A13 indicate a structure that MAY not have been naturally formed, or is this simply a misinterpretation of a low-quality image. As such, I would think that a "scientific" skeptic would be the best person to ask on such an interpretation. I thought skeptics were supposed to indicate that something was or wasn't true by viewing the FACTS...not complaining about the subject matter. Maybe you ought to spend a little less time yelling about the subject, and a little more time citing your evidence for why a reasonable skeptic would not think there was a face in the pictures. Maybe you ought to show close-ups of satellite photos of the Earth, and see if people mistake natural mountains for such strange things...

Pullen) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors Subject: Our History with the Pleiadians Summary: From Orion to Lyra to Earth to the Pleiades and back again to Earth. Keywords: Orion, Pleiadians Message-ID: <1992Feb5.232335.28697@beaver.cs.washington.edu> Date: 5 Feb 92 23:23:35 GMT Sender: news@beaver.cs.washington.edu (USENET News System) Organization: University of Washington Computer Science Lines: 173 I obtained the following information from several books of Star-Borne which I looked at during the 11:11 last month. It is about the Pleiadian group of extraterrestrials, and their history with us. The Pleiadians are not only trying to teach us certain things, but they also are growing and have even made their own "mistakes" while learning in the past, on the way to the spiritual state they are in today. -- The story begins when we first entered this third dimensional universe through the stargate in the belt of Orion. Various solar systems (including the Orion system itself) were inhabited by various races. The main race we are concerned with here is one that inhabited the planet system at Lyra, and are presently known by us as the Lyrians. With much effort, the Lyrians developed technology and space travel. However, this being early on in the development of our galaxy, they were still rather primitive as far as spiritual wisdom goes, and therefore would often fall into conflicts among themselves, just as we on Earth have done in our own history. The Lyrians eventually divided into two groups: those who felt that they should expand militarily and control as much of the universe as possible, and those who desired peace and non-interference. The peace desiring Lyrians eventually left their planet in search of a different place to settle where there would be no more war (leaving the original Lyrians to fight among themselves). They searched until they found an amazingly fertile and uninhabited planet, our Earth. They settled Earth (after editing their genetic coding so that they could live in our atmosphere), and redeveloped their technology. This means that Earth humanity's ultimate ancestors are the Lyrians. Run away from your problems, and they will follow you until you deal with them. Unfortunately, the Lyrian-Earthlings hadn't really eliminated their violent tendencies, and soon fell into fighting among themselves. Once again, there was a split in the race, and a group of them emigrated again, leaving to search for *another* planet, where they could *really* get it right this time, and no longer have conflict. So this group searched and found a new star system which had been formed relatively recently, the Pleiades, and settled the various planets there. Note that this means that we of Earth are technically the ancestors of the Pleiadians, and not the other way around. The colonization of new worlds can explain how we and the Pleiadians can look almost identical, and also how an advanced race can live in a star system which is relatively new. These early Pleiadians by now were emotionally messed up, having had to evacuate their previous home planets twice previously. They realized that unless they did something different, they would just fall into conflict again. Therefore, they turned inward, meditating a great deal and experiencing their inner worlds, starting their spiritual path. Again, with effort, they redeveloped technology, but they kept to themselves, and did not fly around the universe. Soon they were living in such an inner Piscean world, that they began to lose touch with reality, and had escaped from and became unaware of external things happening elsewhere in the galaxy. This was still long ago, and the majority of the galaxy was still in a spiritually unenlightened state. The other two races, the Earthians and the original Lryians, were still fighting among themselves (and therefore kept on destroying their technological efforts, falling behind the Pleiadians.) However, there was a completely different race, the Empire of Orion, which was able to grow and gain great power. This empire had the aim of taking over the galaxy, and were advancing all over conquering race upon planet. A great galactic war ensued which was basically the Orions and their henchmen vs. everybody else. The "everybody else" formed the first confederations among different planetary races (and it was among these confederations, that long ago plans for our Earth eventually being a great galactic library were formed). Our Pleiadians, however, with their heads in the sand, didn't even know that there was a war going on all around them. Eventually the Pleiadians woke up to what was going on, and needless to say were quite distressed. They has supressed the violent instincts within their subconscious all the way from Lyra, and it wasn't until now they proceeded to take action. Confronted everywhere with the conflict that they abhored, they completely threw themselves into the fight against the advance of the Orions, trying to defeat the Orions externally, although one could say that in fact they were fighting against their own internal feelings. The Orions didn't like this new enemy and fought back against the Pleiadians. The turning point in the story was when the Orions destroyed one of the beautiful planets of life in the Pleiades. (This burned out lifeless planet today still lies in the Pleiadian system as a reminder to them of their past; although we shouldn't be too hard on them, after all in *our* solar system we not only demolished but completely broke apart the planet that used to lie between Mars and Jupiter, remaining as reminder to us as the asteroid belt, although that's another story.) The Pleiadians, having now awakened to their own denials, pretty much had two choices as to how to proceed. They could overcome their past by learning about the Orion system, their "enemy". Some actually chose to incarnate with this group, although needless to say, once one got in, it was a much more difficult task to obtain spiritual liberation, although those who were able to do so would obtain a vast amount of knowledge and experience of how the universe really works. The second route that the Pleiadians who stayed with their own solar system took, is the one that concerns we of Earth the most. Now the Orions' imperial conquests were stopped by the combined efforts of everyone else, and peace was restored. The defensive groups that had been formed evolved into the Intergalactic Confederations and the Brotherhoods in existence today, just as our own United Nations evolved out of the aftermath of World War II (And as for how Orion itself has evolved since then is another story.) The Pleiadians were told that they would have to be in touch with a young evolving civilization, until that growing civilization reached spiritual maturity. It was in this way that the Pleiadians hoped to get in touch with their own negativity, and truly achieve full maturity in their own right. The civilization that the Pleiadians monitored was, of course, our Earth, their earlier home. These events were still thousands of years in the past, and they marked the beginning of the Pleiadian involvement with our early Earth civilization. They landed among us in their ships and helped bring more order and distribute wisdom to those barbaric times. This is why the Pleiades appear so often in ancient art and in the alignment of various structures of old civilizations. However, as the Pleiadians say, we have all at one time abused power, in that it's all part of the full three dimensional experience. At this time, the Pleiadians weren't completely free themselves from the lure of power. Also, as less evolved civilizations tend to do, we of Earth began treating the Pleiadians as gods, and some of them obliged, taking pride in their lofty status with us. Meanwhile, it had been decided long ago that Earth would have a special role in the galaxy, and was going to play the role of something like a great galactic library where all the races could share and store their wisdom. (And some of the earlier fights over this "prime piece of real estate" can explain how the Pleiadians are ahead of us even though they originally emigrated from Earth.) Anyway, as we of Earth began to evolve, the many, many other already evolved races in the galaxy started taking an interest in Earth, too, and started their own analysis and landings. The Pleiadian "gods" didn't like this intrusion, and for a while were even jealous of the presence of the other systems. The Pleiadians did come face to face with their own negativity, although not in the way that they expected! In the years that have passed since this last of many learning experiences for the Pleiadians, they (along with the Lyrians and many of the other races) have evolved well beyond that stage of wars or abusing power. The Pleiadians are a relatively advanced race and have even helped out their old ancestors, the Lyrians, with certain things. They are still evolving themselves - they have admitted that to us - although as we of Earth mature, our Pleiadian siblings are taking an increasingly active involvement with us. The Intergalactic Confederations from long ago have since perfectly evolved into part of the Great White Brotherhood, the Ashtar Command. (Note that other alien races have played and will be playing major roles in our past and future; for example the Zeta Reticulans have an important [positive] place in our future, but that is another story.) One goal of these great Confederations, of which the Pleiadians are a member, is to help protect us (although still maintaining the policy of non-interference) from some of the less mature alien races that are still out there (although today such races are rather rare) until we can develop to a point where we can protect ourselves. And unless we destroy ourselves first, there will come a point where we can talk to our aliens directly, and become a member of the Confederations ourselves. That time may not be as far away as we think... -- -|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|- | Walter D.

It could also be possible, that you do yet believe in the things Jeffery offered to you, but do not want others to believe in, since this would reduce the personal advantage you have over these others. Important: This is not intended to be a personal offense against you, Scott, it is just a funny mind game, which could maybe explain the generally *heavy* opposition against such theory. For those curious: I do not believe that mankind has yet reached qualification which would make such theory applicable, but i think it is one long term aim of evolution.

This Mars face thing is only mildly interesting. I didn't read much of the thread. Did anyone mention that if you visit caves with stalactites and stalagmites, the guide will point out to you numerous formations that look like something else? Also, out there in the great void is a nebula that looks very much like a horse (a horse piece in chess, more specifically), I believe it's in Orion. I traveled along the Yang-tze, and yes, in the rock formations that the boat was slowly passing the guide pointed out various markings and formations that looked like something else. Some hero from the Three Kingdoms episode, I believe, and one outcropping was supposed to look like Kuan-Yin (from a certain angle). Why are we not hearing more about E.T.'s that put the Horse Nebula there to signal that Intelligent Life looks like a horse in the greater part of the Universe (O.K., the Galaxy).

Here is something interesting that I found regarding astronomers and their feelings about UFOs. Contrary to what most people might think, there are more of them who give serious attention to the phenomenon. This is from 'The Hynek UFO Report,' page 23, Footnote: -- A recent survey of professional astronomers, ("Report on a Survey of the Membership of the America Astronomical Society Concerning the UFO Problem," P.A. Sturrock. Report #681, Institute for Plasma Research, Stanford University, Stanford, CA; January 1977) showed a marked increase in their interest in the UFO phenomenon. In answer to one of the twelve questions submitted to them, asking whether the UFO problem deserved scientific study, 23 percent replied "certainly," 30 percent "probably," 27 percent "possbily," 17 percent "probably not," and only 3 percent "certainly not." 52 percent of the questionnaires were returned, comprising 1,356 members of the Society. -- Additionally, Hynek, who was an astronomer himself, and a prominent consultant to the Air Force's Project Blue Book, formulated a theorem concerning the scientific community and what he called the "Committee Complex." This excerpt is taken from the same book, 'The Hynek UFO Report,' page 24: -- A scientist will confess in private to interest in a subject which is controversial or not scientifically acceptable but generally will not stand up and be counted when "in committee." -- This theorem was supported by the same study mentioned above. In my opinion, I feel that this is a highly valid theorem, and sufficiently explains the lack of serious "main-stream" scientific interest in the subject of UFOs. This also ties out very nicely with the decision of the Robertson Panel of 1953 to use various "celebrities" to "debunk" the UFO phenomena.

However,there are widespread rumours,and a certain amout of evidence,that the site,specifically S4 (a unit within the Groom dry lake complex),has been used to store,and experiment upon extraterestrial vehicles. A scientific ex-employee of S4,spoke at length in the recent release 'Above Top Secret'by Timothy Good,one of the leading investigators in this field. According to him,the government has succeeded in flying,albeit to a limited degree,these saucers.Furthermore,it seems that they are tracked daily by NORAD,and labeled ASCs (Alternative Space Craft????). It does seem,however,that the government is planning to 'come clean' about it's involvement in this area,in the shape of a large world tour.This circus like affair,would star a full scale mockup of the shuttle,and would also have a section on UFOs,including an actual spaceship and alien body.(I would doubt the 'star' staus of the shuttle in such a display,when compared with such a revelation).

Also the various MARS "face" and mars "pyramids" pictures could be uploaded to this site, so that everybody with anonymous FTP access could grab them from there ! Then we have a common base, not just to talk about events, but to see them ! By the way, Xing Technologies of Arroyo, California has just released their MPEG animation movie player for windows3.0 ! It's resolution is 320x240x256 in a window. On a 486 PC they get 30 frames per second only with software decompression. No hardware required ! This opens up a good media, to digitize complete ufo-sighting sequenzes, for about 30 seconds, which just consume about 1.5 Mbytes of MPEG-data-file size!! So let me know, where I can get some good ufo-video-tapes and I'll do the digitized version of it and upload it to the new UFO FTP site, we should create now ! Any response is welcome.

Hmmm...interesting thought. Reminds me of what T. Golas wrote: The state of mind that most needs enlightenment is the one that sees human beings as *needing* to be guided or enlightened. Every person who allows others to treat him as a spiritual leader has the responsibility to ask himself: Out of all the perceptions available to me in the universe, why am I emphasizing the ignorance of my brothers? What am I doing in a role where this is real? What kind of standards am I conceiving, in which so many people are seen to be suffering, while *I* am the enlightened one? No matter how confused or stupid or unloving other persons may appear to us, we have no right ever to assume that their consciousness is on a lower level than ours. They may be realizing far deeper dimensions of love. The way we see them is an explicit measure of our own vibrational level. -- Thaddeus Golas, "The Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment" -- Ed Carp erc@apple.com, erc@khijol.UUCP, erc@pogo.Corp.Sun.COM preferred --^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 415/336-0797 (work) ++ UNIX SysAdmin, Systems Programming Services, Utilities ++ ++ and Programmer Productivity Tools ++ Path: ns-mx!hobbes.physics.uiowa.edu!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!sdd.hp.com!usc!elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!ames!agate!darkstar!cats.ucsc.edu!haynes From: haynes@cats.ucsc.edu (Jim Haynes) Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors,talk.religion.newage,sci.skeptic Subject: Re: There are no victims!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Pleiades were blue giants. I'm trying to visualise the H-R diagram and if I am correct, blue giants are off the main sequence, ie old.

(Many pictures are not yet released by NASA, still 240.000 pictures should be lying unevaluated inside the archive of the National Space Science Data Center in Greenbelt,Maryland.) Also there is the pictures 4212-15 which was labelled: "inka-city" by the NASA, which shows rectangular symmetrical blocks of stone ! Could this be done by normal mars wheather or stone erosion ??? By the way, why is put now so much money on a new MARS-Observer probe, when there are 240.000 pictures are left unevaluated in the archive ?? Okay, the new Mars-observer might have a higher resolution and I'm already very interested what the pictures will show, but will most of them again be covered from the public and putting to sleep inside an archive ???

My question is: does this mean that the aliens wanted the earthlings to subliminally see their true faces? Maybe the glasses worked on two different "frequencies" simultaneously; one for the messages like "NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT" and one for the aliens faces. Nifty movie anyway.

Let me point out two things. First, whenever one says 'every' or 'all' one must be very careful what are referred as 'all'. Otherwise, it is like saying Every rule has exceptions. Readers may recognize this as Russell's paradox or the heart of Goedel's theorem in Mathematics. The futility of refering to the absolute had already been recognized in India some three thousand years ago. Thus the minute the generalization of '(absolutely) no victim' was made and said the discussion has been doomed for or against. It does not mean that discussions are pointless. It just means that to have a debate, both parties must define and understand what is under the debate and what axioms are common and what axioms are different and must be careful not to step out of the logical system by grossly generalizing or misusing terms. Especially every day words like reality, victim, life or spirit. I can give some more examples and analogies if anybody is interested. Second, transcendence is neither ignorance or denial. To transcend emotion, one must master and understand every aspect of it. To transcend logic, one must master logic. One cannot transcend something one does not understand. If you are asked a logical question, you must answer logically. If you are asked evidence, you must give it. In addition, analogies are all fine, but one must remember that it is just an analogy and never the truth. So when asked logically, one better not answer in riddle or analogy. Otherwise, there is no point in saying anything, communicating and convincing others other than to transmit hatred. And don't hate logic, please. Logic has not yet failed in any human endeaver. Axioms may change, systems may vary, but it has not failed us. I find it very ironical that this debate has been carreid out in a computer network - which is based entirely of the trust in logic and hard science that requires evidence and proof. Logically speaking, one cannot adapt one logical system just partially. If I may be forgiven using an analogy, one cannot accept only things s/he likes from the Classical system and accept something else s\he likes from Riemannian system to get a consistent logical system.

Sure, EVERYTHING "deserves scientific study", even if it might be a delusion, and especially if the cost is "free".

Sexual perversion of rattlesnakes does not pertain to astronomy, therefore it is an invalid question. :-) The finding of "delusion" can only be arrived at after the scientific study has been accomplished. > A better question to put to astronomers would be: "How much of the money > > currently being spent doing conventional research on astronomy should > be shifted to study UFOs ( answer from 0 to 100)".

I'm afraid that this is a valid rationalization. I have tested this personally, and some day will present the results of my independent study.

Your paragraph here is interesting from the standpoint that it suggests statistics, but nothing to support them. What does astrology have to do with UFOs in this context of the post? I did not suggest that Hynek nor myself were connecting astrology with UFOs. Perhaps you would find those same astronomers more helpful if there were not questions relating astrology with UFOs, instead just UFOs? I work with an astronomer at a planetarium and have found that there is a fascination with the scientific aspect of the subject. Furthermore, *I* am a skeptic, but do not support the viewpoints of such groups as CSICOP. As a matter of fact, I have attended various skeptic groups and have found them almost as fanatical in their "religion" as the extreme "believers" on the other side of the coin. Actually, I found them almost rabid at times. It is vitally important that skepticism remain skepticism in that we "should have an open mind, but not as open as, say, a refuse can." -Joe Nickell.

I don't believe that much if any of Great Britain has a growing season in the winter. The old men with the board probably waited until the end of the growing season so that they wouldn't have to face continuing crop circle formations while their story was told. People who seem to understand the physical nature of the circles are not fooled by the circles made by boards. It does make it obvious that we can't take circles for "real" unless they are thorougly tested by experienced, qualified researchers.

Sure, they might have also agreed that the sex-lives of rattlesnakes deserved scientific study, but that wasn't the issue, was it? BTW: Would you agree that a study of the sexual perversions of rattlesnakes "might be a delusion". Would you agree that a search for black holes "might be a delusion"? You see, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that people have actually directly _observed_ unidentified flying objects. The same cannot be said for black holes, can it?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 567 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 6 <<============================= Topic: FIRST BIG WHITE HORSE WITH HORSEMAN OF REVELATIONS- Chap 7 I shall attempt to cover the subject with a bit less wordiness than yesterday lest I lose my scribe---a repeat of four hours of work makes a secretary less than overjoyed. Well, let's see, there were letters written to the "Churches" and then came the visions. There were all sorts of things but predominantly in the beginning there was a "scroll" with many "seals". We shall look at them. Understand a most important point at the start--it was "The Lamb" who was the only one found worthy to open the scroll and seals--therefore it is clue number one (I like puzzles)--it is not likely that "The Lamb" (Christ being) would be on the first horse--nor would that fit into the story very well. No, the first rider was not the Christ being. The first horse was the old evil one himself--that one you dub Satan. Actually God labelled him Satan when He tossed Lucifer out on his proverbial ear. He, like Christ and God Father/Mother Creator, is pronounced in many ways to suit the culture or language---don't be further deceived, it is the Head Evil Honcho himself---The King Deceiver. The first horse is white to deceive and the first rider is but one aspect of evil--for the whole of the four are Satanic--but we will get on with that. Remember that one of the strongest historical indictments of Satan is that he is a deceiver, implacably opposed to the truth of God. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to truth, for there is no truth in him. You who wish to "BE" and recognize not "good" (God-ness) and evil had best be thinking again--I further refer you to the book SATAN'S DRUMMERS by the Christed One Himself (one of these Phoenix Journals). There is evil and you are in it. A worldwide battle rages between forces of God and Satan, between light and darkness, between good and evil. Evil stalks the earth seeking to dominate and to destroy God's creation--and doing a remarkably efficient job of it--and at the same time Creator works to save that which He has created. WELL, OLD HATONN IS NOT HERE TO GIVE YOU YOUR BEDTIME LESSONS IN BAD AND GOOD. I AM COME TO TELL YOU THAT IT MATTERS NOT WHICH YOU CHOOSE. YOU WILL BE PLACED ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH YOU CHOOSE, HOWEVER. WHEN THE TIME IS COME, THE PLANET WILL SHIFT ON HER POLES AND FOR YOUR PRACTICAL PURPOSES IT WILL BE ALL OVER INCLUDING THE WEEPING.

THOSE WHO CHOOSE THE PATH OF EARTH WAY ABOUT YOU SHALL MOVE INTO PLACES ALSO PREPARED FOR YOU--BUT IT SURELY WON'T BE HOME TO CREATOR AS YOU THINK IT WILL BE.

SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO DISCIPLINE HERSELF TO THE LONG HOURS OF DIRECT RECEIVING. THOSE DOCUMENTS SHALL PROBABLY BE BROUGHT FORTH BY MID-JANUARY OF 1990. THE FATHER/MOTHER HAS REQUESTED THE DOCUMENT BE TO PAPER WITHIN 45 DAYS BEGINNING ON YESTERDAY AND FINISHED BY JANUARY 31. AS YOU ONES WHO READ THIS MATERIAL MIGHT GUESS, THERE WILL BE NO HOLIDAY RESPITE FOR THESE DEAR ONES--BE GENTLE WITH THEM AND GIVE GREAT HONOR TO THEM FOR THEY TOIL LONG IN YOUR BEHALF. I am not going to digress to Genesis for I come not to quarrel with any of your decipherings. We come now to tell you how it is and always was. It is not mystical nor magic--it is fact--physical and physics. Earth is Satan's playground--he was given the planet and renounced from the Heavenly dimensions of higher frequency. His workers are all around you---there are no hostile "space brothers" waiting to gobble you up--that is the biggest lie and deceit of all--to render you fearful, panic-filled and blinded. Look upward--see the strobing colored lights encircling your "stars" and "planets" in the heavens in your night sky--oh yes, we are out here in full glory to outdo your Christmas trees. Ah yes, the Evil Deceiver---and you wondrous people of the lie have swallowed it hook, line and sinker--fish caught and headed for the frying pan. Topic: LET'S TALK OF THIS FIRST RIDER WHO DECEIVES, FIRST OUTSIDE Topic: THE PROJECTED "CHURCH" - Chap 7 For many will come in His name, claiming, "I am the Christ", and these ones will deceive many. By the way, for you ones who think these messages represent the false prophets and fall into this category--nay, no claim of being Christ or even a prophet of any sort---just putting the fact to the paper in (hopefully) total anonymity and absence of all public attention. The attention gleaners---beware of them. It does not mean their works are not of truth, but you must always discern what is gained by so-called "speakers" and projectors. There are no groupies or disciples here, my friends--just hard workers with each pulling an equally important load. Any charges for the journals is simply so that further journals can be brought forth and dispersed for all of these ones have naught. Further, there are great works to be funded---the most crucial is the work to put into the "physical" apparatus to stop AIDS. It requires laboratory facilities and persons who have knowledge and it will NOT be supported by your government---for therein lies the source of the plague in the first place. Oh yes, there is so much to be done and so few, in the beginning, to do it. Know, however, that as truth marches across this world the armies shall grow and none shall be able to stop you. You will move out of this evil age of darkness for that is the promise. If you can believe the evil worst---can you not also believe the promise of radiance? The major way this first evil rider deceives is through the lie and creation of false religions---which, forgive the abruptness--all of your cults are. I use the word "cult" in its definition of "group" "doctrine"---"church". The Deceiver wishes you to believe that cult and occult mean something which they do not; i.e., you label the Church of Satan a cult for occult practices. Well, every church (body of -) is a cult (group) looking into the occult (that which is beyond physical proof). Simple, is it not? The local Pentacostal or Catholic club is a church cult practicing the occult. You ones better look into your own definitions. Many hundreds of false churches have come forth---however, almost all that were already established are filled with heinous falseness. But then, that is - - - Topic: DECEIT WITHIN THE CHURCH - Chap 7 Deception is rising like the sea dragon within the accepted "churches" which are now touched so much by the evil master of lies, that you even reach downward and "vote in" your doctrines, having even deviated from your own mis-translated versions of your own semi-truths. Your own "Christian" sects are so fragmented that your councils of religious laws are ridiculed and your own children turn away from the contradictions and hypocrisy of the examples set forth for their teaching and rearing. Satan's greatest disguise has always been to appear before men as "an angel of light". If you were Satan and you wanted the best and darkest followers---where would you go? To the "Churches" of course! You would go where there is control over the masses--i.e., you would require the pastor or priest to disallow even viewing of such material as these documents. You would pronounce "the truth" according to "you" and joyfully require the people to pay your salary for the information they choose for you to have, build temples (every church has a building fund) which the pastor gets to call "his" and thus and so. KEEP THE PEOPLE BLIND AND THE HOOD PULLED TIGHTLY TO THE SHOULDERS. If you want to remain "popular" then sanction murder and call it women's rights--to kill is to murder at whatever age be the seed of life. I do not judge, I simply marvel at the lack of responsibility in the heinous misuse of sexual pleasure and lust that must result in murder of the innocent. I judge not homosexual preference---I condemn the sodomy acts of homosexuality for, among other things, it is killing a civilization of humans through AIDS. It is the behavior, not the inclination, which is incorrect and against the Laws of Creation and God. It is from WITHIN the churches that you have re-written the meaning of the laws of the Commandments--do not blame your brother--you have allowed of it. How about your own revered "Paul"? "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their eyes away from the truth and turn aside to myths." Let me check here--1 Timothy 4:1,2. Yes, the white horse has escaped the barn while you left the door open and the rider has spread his cloak about the lands. Satan is transforming himself into a false angel of light and Satan's representatives are also being transformed as ministers of righteousness--mostly totally in ignorance of that which is happening, so subtle is the transition. While propagating that which brings death and darkness to the mind and heart of the sinner, they profess to be representatives of the God who is light. They claim to be propagating doctrines that come from the God of light, the living God. This is a part of satanic deception--the satanic system that imitates the program of God. Well, you just want it ALL--wealth, power, sexual prowess, charisma--ALL that is worldly. So be it. That first rider has fooled you again--you thought it would be perfect if you had all these things and you end with nothing that brings you pleasure or peace. Do you not see---Satan had to be the one on the first horse to set the path for the rest of his plan. He has hooked and hoodwinked a world of human beings and has now locked you into the next episodes---all of which are flourishing all about you----ALL OF THE HORSES ARE LOOSED AND ALL THE SEALS ARE BROKEN--INCLUDING THE LAST. SO BE IT FOR THE DAY IS AT HAND. Let us take respite now. Let us be cautious to keep the writings to a reasonable length so that we will not lose greatly if our systems are interrupted. I salute you for your persistence--for you ones most surely have beyond your share of assault. Take rest now and we shall continue a bit later. We do have much to cover prior to your coming into working with the ancient teachings for we want you not touched by that truth before the writing of this document. Salu. HATONN MOVING TO STAND-BY. SALU, AND CLEARED Topic: CHAPTER 8 From: REC #2 HATONN Date: MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1989 1:15 P.M. YEAR 3, DAY 124 Topic: THE HORSE OF RED - Chap 8 Evil projects himself in a more obvious format in this instance. When summoned, the second horseman charges from the scroll and reins in before the throne as John sees him. He sits astride a red mount--the color of blood. The rider is given power to take peace from earth and to make men slay each other. Remember, God is not the cause of war. God had a far greater plan for His creation--and at first that plan was a reality but as evil came into the picture so came war and conflict---man was given free-will choice and was upon Earth to learn his lessons and come forth into truth within manifested experience. Since "soul", "spirit" is the only "reality" of man, in truth, then it must be through the "spirit" that man learns and grows--all things physical are but passing fancy illusions to distract you from your path and keep you mired in the assumption of "self". Man as manifested in the beginning chose not to obey God or the Laws of Creation, and his resulting "fallen" or lowered nature turned to making war and conflict, not peace. Man also refused to hear the warnings of the ages just as most will fail to hear these truths. How many of you realize that Harry Truman was warned severely before Mount St. Helens erupted--by the Indian Teachers--so all of mankind through history has refused to listen to the warnings of God. Sometimes these warnings come forth long before the fact as in this case and yet, some are even more pointed. When the ancients speak--man better listen for they are hearing the truth from the "Mother's mouth". Just as with Dharma or Little Crow, or the other receivers and scribes---as these words flow forth the pain of the visions are all but devastating to the senses. John, too, stood stunned as the hoofbeats of that blood red horse still rang in his mind. He was caused to hear the clanking of sword against sword, explosions of unlimited view, the thuds of heavy iron spears piercing flesh and crunching bone, the sound of screaming and babes crying and the moans and groans of the wounded and the gasps of the dying--as far as the mind can conceive--into infinity which also overwhelms the senses. Those same hoofbeats are in your lands this day--no ancient dream vision by an old man in a Patmos prison---in your dooryards throughout your world. Some have built shelters that they might survive to build another day---you in the U.S. have done nothing to protect your very lives of which almost all would survive if sheltered within a mere 10 feet of terra. Listen---do you not hear the sounds? Those same hoofbeats are bearing down on you as you sit with this document in hand. Above those noisy hoofbeats arise other sounds -- the metallic thud of machine guns, the whistle of flamethrowers and mortar rounds, the crackle of burning schools with the screams of the children, the rubble of homes and churches, the shrill shriek of missiles zeroing in with their nuclear warheads, the explosion of 150 megaton bombs or multitudes of smaller ones over your cities--the terrible cries of the Mother Earth herself as she gives up her creations unto the evil rider of death. War, anarchy, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor--the breakdown of sane human relationships has characterized human history and is in full bloom within your communities which no longer have "community", within your very touch. Even your Jesus forecast that worst of woes and wars as "unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive." It is totally naive and insane for you to ignore the fact that the ominous rider who brings war is, even now, riding recklessly in your direction. Your earth in perception has shrunk into but a global village; you are all neighbors. The foreboding sound of these hoofbeats of the red horse pulses like an erratic heartbeat at the center of your beleaguered planet. You have stockpiles of over 60,000 hydrogen bombs which give the human race the power to destroy the entire earth seventeen or more times over through nuclear flames reaching 130 million degrees--in one blinding flash-----and yes, with a shelter system you could survive even that, dear friends. From China, Deng Xiaoping on the inevitability of world war: "War will burst sooner or later. And whoever believes the contrary makes a tragic mistake." And from Andrei Sakharov, the dissident Soviet scientist we honor today: "I know that pacifist sentiments are very strong . . . . I deeply sympathize with people's yearning for peace . . . .This is an extremely important factor, BUT, I repeat, itself alone does not exclude the possibility of a totally tragic outcome." The one you called the Pale Prophet, The Prophet, The Christ, The Jesus Jmmanuel Sananda----said unto you, "These things will come to pass--they must come to pass so be not alarmed." Further, "In the ending days it will be so awful that unless those days had not been cut short, no one would survive." Man has the potential and probable intention to annihilate the species and obliterate the human race. Well, God will intervene prior to the total obliteration of the civilization and the Mother Earth will be given into her cleansing. How many will fall by the sword? A third of your people. And a third of you people will perish of the plagues--so be it and selah. I propose to you ones who hold this journal---get all the prior documents for we have spoken on each of the mighty circumstances and shall speak more as we walk with you through this veil of tribulation. I will remind you of a bit of rather catchy "wording"--God promised that the world would not again be destroyed---so be it--he did not promise that the majority of humans of this civilization would not be destroyed--ponder it most carefully. From the mouths of your own "experts": "Acknowledged experts in international and military affairs agree that unless present trends are reversed, chances are 4 in 5 that a nuclear war will destroy civilization in the next decade (that was your '85 - '95)." And every day your government says you need no shelters--Oh, ye lambs of blindness just moving headlong unto the slaughter. "Madness has gripped the human race and unless peace comes into the world of man none shall be in the surviving of it." AHO! Now before you go asking why God would allow such a thing--or you go further, and simply blame God, I will point out some important points. Man alone is created in the image of God (who is soul energy--not human shape) and man occupied a very special place in God's creation. The individual person has dignity before God, and this is a fundamental fact that stresses his uniqueness and underlines his value within society--no one can do anything of spiritual nature for another--each individual makes his choices. It must herein be stressed THAT MAN, NOT GOD, IS GUILTY OF THE EVIL IN THE WORLD. IT IS MAN WHO BEARS THE RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE MAN WAS GIVEN THE ABILITY TO MAKE FREE MORAL CHOICES AND HE CHOSE DELIBERATELY TO DISOBEY GOD. Even your Dr. Einstein; "No, there will never be peace--as long as there will be man there will be war, one more horrendous than the one before." Best you go look again within the pages of your Holy Books; peace is referred to in three main ways. First, there is spiritual peace. This is peace between man and God. Second, there is psychological peace, or peace within self and, third, there is relational peace---or, peace among men. Man shall never achieve this final peace until such time as the new kingdom is established and a new order built forth in truth---furthermore The Mother/Father Creator Aton shall intervene to bring about this restful peace for your planet earth and those who remain to experience her radiance. Well, Hatonn, what do we do---you are of doom and gloom so why not just "stop trying"? I suggest that your responsibility in the world is quite clear no matter what the conditions might be or how late the hour might seem. You must not join with those who stand by and wring their hands, saying all is hopeless. In spite of the chaos threatening your world there can be hope for your generation and for generations to come. With "grace" you can grapple with many of the problems and actually solve them. You have a moral obligation to envision and provide moral and spiritual leadership for your generations---THE PUNCH LINE, CHELAS, IS THAT A LARGE, LARGE NUMBER OF YOU WHO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES SHALL MOVE INTO A TIME OF TREMENDOUS RADIANCE AND THERE MUST BE LEADERS TO SHOW THE WAY TO THE BROTHER WHO DOES NOT YET SEE. Things appear to be changing in the world---no, you are just choosing up new sides---you in the U.S. have been allies with Russia for many years---just you citizens didn't know. You can disarm the whole of the U.S. and Russia and it only makes China's job easier--so be it for he who has eyes to see let him open them and see; he who has ears to hear let him open them and hear--the handwriting is spread across the walls of the nations--not just a cement fragile wall in mid-Berlin. You had better get moving on your survival shelter system lest you wait too long, for the horsemen are riding at full gallop. In response to a letter regarding shelters to a local government person from one who wrote as requested in SURVIVAL---HE HAD "NO INTENTIONS OF PRESSING FOR SUCH A THING FOR THAT IS THE PROBLEM OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FURTHERMORE, I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO THAN SPEND MY TIME ON SUCH A THING." THIS IS ONE OF ARIZONA'S FINE POLITICIANS AND I WOULD BE MOST HAPPY TO SUPPLY THE NAME THEREOF UPON REQUEST! This is a bit of loose quotation--the statement was more emphatic than stated above. Giving credit where due, however, another of your Arizona "higher" government representatives at state level had not read our book but had access to the book FIGHTING CHANCE-TEN FEET TO SURVIVAL and suggested you deluge your government officials with copies of these books and demand action which he would be delighted to spearhead and further, sent the letter from the individual on to Washington representatives. YOU CAN IF YOU BUT WILL! Dharma, let us take respite before we move on to the Black Horse and rider----still the old evil guru himself. That would be the opening of the third seal. That one bears massive hunger and starvation. A loaf of bread for $20 I believe was the going price--forget it, you will not long find the loaf of bread at any price. You can yet prepare if you but will---so be it and Selah. HATONN TO STAND-BY AND CLEARING FREQUENCY. SALU Topic: CHAPTER 9 From: REC #1 HATONN Date: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1989 7:30 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 125 Hatonn present, cleared and prepared to resume our journal. Good morning. Topic: COMMENTS - Chap 9 I am so bombarded with questions of current nature that I feel I must comment on a few of the more pertinent ones. Then, I again petition you ones to present me with a plan as to how we might do running commentary. This is a most hap-hazard manner in which to respond to inquiries and yet, you ones must know that which is happening to your world--each day for you are in the chaos. I would handle the subjects on reminder and notation basis. The biggest single question is why all the attention to warfare weapons improvement and Russia's touring of NATO and integrated openness to Soviet scientists of U.S. installations, etc. Harken back some three to four years to a shushed statement made by Mr. Reagan--"We should join forces with the Soviet Union to protect Earth from Extraterrestrials!" There has been a massive cover-up "for your protection" regarding our presence. The governments have had a massive misinformation push---innocent ones caught up and assisting in the misinformation distribution---and they are ready to spring on you unsuspecting ones that the "enemy" of human is in your skies. They will claim every negative act in the past century will have been our doing and they will terrorize the masses of your civilization. They will then claim that all this space apparatus and diverted funds, etc., was actually to protect you from us. YOU NEED NO PROTECTING FROM US BUT YOU SURELY DO FROM "THEM"! Second question today: What about all these secret meetings with China? Go right back to SPACEGATE AND SPIRAL; remember the International Monetary Fund, The Trilateral Commission, The World Bank and the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations)? Where has Henry Kissinger been and what has he been doing all this time ? How many of you realize that Mr. Kissinger is the most powerful member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board---of the CFR? How many of you realize that Mr. Kissinger controls mammoth amounts of funds in Banks in China? How many of you know that a bill put forth as a provision of the State Department Authorization Bill known as "The Kissinger Bill" was killed in a joint Senate-House conference committee Nov. 22, 1989? This provision would have required all members of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board to make full financial disclosure, and it was made clear that Kissinger would resign rather than reveal his multiple conflicts of interest through his "Kissinger Associates Consulting Firm". But what of China? You are now seeing the sacrifice of your administration of 40,000 Chinese students to imprisonment, torture, and death. For you who don't know of that which I speak let me summarize: A Congressional Bill was passed permitting Chinese students to remain in the U.S. for up to four years after graduation, if they feared persecution upon their return to the mainland. Under your current laws students would have to return to China immediately after finishing their studies. Most of these children were active in U.S. demonstrations and other public activities in the days leading up to, and following, the Tiananmen Square massacre. These demonstrations were systematically filmed by agents of the Chinese Department of Public Security. The students know that they have all been identified. If the students return to China, they would share the fate of the masses of murdered and incarcerated young in China. Over 6,000 students and leaders have been executed. The Senate and House voted 95-0 and 403-0, respectively, on behalf of the Pelosi-Armstrong bill. No congressman, at least, voted for the murder of these children. PRESIDENT BUSH WAITED UNTIL CONGRESS WAS OUT OF SESSION BEFORE ANNOUNCING THAT HE WOULD NOT SIGN THE BILL--EXERCISING A SO-CALLED "POCKET VETO" NOT SUBJECT TO AN IMMEDIATE CONGRESSIONAL VOTE TO OVERRIDE. Explanation as to why: Well, White House spokesmen mumbled something about Beijing threatening to cancel the Fulbright scholarship program, which allows American students to study in China, if Bush signed the bill. Bush says he "thinks that China, as its leaders state, will return to the policy of reform pursued before". ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 7 <<================= Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 568 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 7 <<============================== Topic: ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE - Chap 9 Deng Xiaoping and Li Peng and their thugs have made China, the country with the greatest potential of human wealth on earth, an economic disaster through their unbelievable incompetence and the worst corruption seen in human history--well, almost. The policies the Chinese government imposed only a year ago are so vicious that the "backbone" of China's industrial economy has been broken. Production is collapsing. China is now massively in debt internally and externally---now who loaned them the money in both instances? Remember those "American" banks in China which removed employees for some two days at the time of the fiasco---gave them a vacation, I believe I remember! Payments on China's two loans will peak in the next two years. The internal debt hit 80 billion yuan ($21.5 billion) in November and foreign debt is estimated at about $42 billion---this in a country with an annual income per capita of approximately $300 a year. Yes, I said $300! China must pay 30 billion yuan ($8 billion) in domestic debt in 1990, and $7 billion in foreign debt next year. But this debt does not include the billions in bonds issued by local banks on enterprises to fund their operations under the government "reform". Keep in mind that to get this money "on loan" the country had to put up natural resources, etc. as collateral to these foreign banks who were loaning the money. The government has two plans to deal with the debt: internally, rob the workforce, and impose more austerity; and externally, slash imports (which are 80% vital raw materials), devalue the currency and impose strict foreign exchange controls, and renegotiate the debt. The yuan was already devalued by 60% between 1981 and 1986, and will now be devalued another 15-18%. The population is being robbed blind. In Jiangsu province, inside China mainland, the state Money Collection Division (tax bureau) has set up shop right at the buying stations where farmers have to sell their quota of grain to the state. In many cases, farmers had to turn over their entire earnings and still owe additional taxes. IT CAN HAPPEN RIGHT THERE IN THE U.S., MY SLEEPY FRIENDS. Industrial workers are being robbed of at least one month's wages a year to "buy" state bonds. The government is trying desperately to increase its tax revenues by imposing higher taxes on the enterprises, which then turn around and take the money directly from workers' pay envelopes. Workers who earn only about 120 yuan per month ($30), often find that their wages are gone and they only receive a "bond" which they might be able to redeem in several years hence. And so it goes. Now, does it come clear as to WHO is placing those silkworm missiles in the Middle East? Ah yes, my students brighten--YOU! YES INDEED---I SUGGEST YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL, GET SPIRAL TO ECONOMIC DISASTER, A PHOENIX JOURNAL, FROM THIS PUBLISHER---AND READ IT WELL. THE MASTER PLAN IS FUNCTIONING WONDROUSLY IN PERFECTION. FURTHER, IF "THEY" CAN GET YOUR ATTENTION DISTRACTED TO DRUG WARS AND WEAPONS CONTROL AND TERRIFY YOU OF OUR PRESENCE BY SENDING THE LECTURERS OF DISINFORMATION ABOUT TO YOU EAGER LISTENERS---WATCH THE MOVING PEN ACROSS THE WALL, MY DEARS. The "Grey Men", and I mean your earthlings--are taking control of your world! Whether you like it or do not--you have been trapped, bound to the board and the screws are starting their final tightening. No wonder the southern drug lords are fighting back for their very lives---and Mr. Bush is going south in February to see to the finish. Mr. Bush a Wimp? Oh no, the most deadly man in your world today--right next to Mr. Kissinger! So be it--food for the pondering. Dharma, let us move on to our subject before we take a respite. I apologize for the interruption but you ones must began to "think" and really SEE what you see. * * * Topic: AH YES, THE BLACK HORSE AND RIDER - Chap 9 The vision went that the Lamb carefully pries open the third seal. The scroll gently unrolls. At the same moment, the third of God's servant creatures steps to the center stage and gives a command, "Come"! Into the presence of the Lamb of God, the twenty-four elders and the host of angelic witnesses emerges a horse and rider. This black horse and rider bear yet a third warning to the peoples of your planet--a warning of massive hunger and starvation. John: "Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, 'A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!'" Following deception and false religions there is always a turn into famine and pestilence. This shall be no different. Famine will prevail upon the earth and millions will die of hunger----is it not already so? Millions more will suffer malnutrition of massive nature from inadequate diet and from this will come openness to all manner of illness, despair and death. But what of the oil and wine? Ah, so you noticed! However, if you look about your world it should not bring comfort unto you. THIS IS A PICTURE OF LUXURY COEXISTING WITH FAMINE! The prophets have warned you that famine would stalk the earth and starve whole peoples in various parts of the world. But He characterized those in other parts of the world as eating and drinking, in gross excess. In the closing days before the Christ returns there shall be the most disparate conditions occurring parallel and simultaneous. You in America alone weigh a billion pounds too much. You spend an annual $15 billion on diet formulas and $22 billion on cosmetics. That amount would save the lives of the world for a whole cycle of a year. Well, enjoy it for the disparity between starvation and riches side by side in the world today will be dwarfed in comparison to that which has been predicted for the future. There is an incomparably blacker day coming. Your whole world community is wrestling with the food problem. It is not a matter of the total quantity of food, but the problem of distribution. Dishonesty among some international relief organizations, indifference of certain governments to the plight of their own people, cheapness with which life is regarded in parts of the world and the terrible fraud in many nations---all complicate your problems. You have only three countries in the world annually producing more wheat than they consume: the U.S., Australia and Canada. The Soviets have the potential to produce more than any other nation, but because of adverse weather, acknowledged inefficiency, and other political reasons they get only one good crop about every four or five years. In the U.S., however, you still have starving and homeless people while your government subsidizes non-production and ships your surplus goods to your avowed enemies. Justice? You have no justice! You have millions of homeless and hungry people in the U.S. As winter sets in--a winter forcasters predict will be the worst in this century--the plight of these homeless and hungry citizens becomes acute. You have more than 4 million homeless--more than any time before, including your Great Depression. More and more people will literally freeze to death. Once the churches opened their doors to the needy--now there is terror of vandalism, satanism and frankly, greed and stinginess. Now, you ones who PREFER TO NOT HEAR THESE THINGS---LISTEN UP. Ones who are homeless and out of work are doing whatever they can just to survive. Some have turned to the public park sites and have actually turned them into permanent homes, staying out the mandatory 24 to 48 hour waiting period and then returning to the same park. Not all of those camping out are poor minorities or unskilled workers; on the contrary, the vast majority of newly-homeless are professionals and/or highly skilled workers, including computer programmers and even aerospace engineers. Where, for instance, will the 20,000 laid off workers from IBM alone, go? What happens to them when they cannot find work and cannot pay mortgages and bills? But you know what?--it matches a prophecy of Hindu origin which stated people would resort to the mountains and forest in order to survive--this, over 5,000 years ago and half a world distant from you. Topic: THE WORST IS COMING RIGHT NOW REGARDING THE SIGNS THAT Topic: SHOW UP HEREIN. - Chap 9 Your government is having the most massive public lands sale of this or any prior century. They are literally putting thousands and thousands of acres on the auction block. Now the place to pay attention to the clues: The American Indians fear that they may be homeless as they are just about to have disbanded the reservation system and deprive them of their lands, in order to open them up for mining exploitation, etc. THIS WILL FULFILL THE LAST SIGN OF THE INDIAN PROPHECIES ABOUT THEIR LANDS BEING TAKEN FROM THEM. Let us close this segment for I shall enlarge upon these subjects as we get to the opening of the seals beyond the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. I have ones of my own who refuse to read the documents. It is their choice--somehow they think all will "go-away" if they do not look nor change of their thinking. So be it--it shall not go-away. It does, however, make a great deal of difference as to what you as an individual do in these times of consternation and travail. You can come into the care and preparation as you are shown and enlightened and reap abundance even, through tribulation---hiding will reap you naught but poverty and trials beyond that which you can have any amount of control. Act while you have control to some extent and ye shall not want. Prepare not and ye shall have naught. I plead with you that you do not cause yourself to pay such a dear price of poverty for long years in order to revel in luxury through these coming brief months---for the price is too high. If you come into "community" you can achieve your security and safe passage. I know no other way to help you. We can only point the way and help you see beyond through our extended vision. Turn us away if you will for it is your choosing alone. I take my leave for this time. We shall continue. Salu, I AM HATONN Topic: CHAPTER 10 From: REC #2 HATONN Date: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1989 12:30 P.M. YEAR 3, DAY 125 Hatonn to continue. Even while the Red and Black Horsemen are riding the world together there is a much more deadly thing to watch for; that of arms and weapons buildup in all of the countries--even unto the smallest. You must understand that you deal only in "sequence"--one circumstance feeds upon another until the spiral is inescapable. While famine and disease stalk almost all of the Third World, nearly all countries, even those tiny ones, are arming to the teeth. This is one of the most pathetic developments taking place in your world. For what do they arm? Well, brothers, it is not against Space Cadets, in these instances. Jealousy and hate still stalk the world and satanic forces are now on the rampage. Those little countries have sold their countries in total to the ones who granted them loans against all resources. They are doomed to economic and political chaos in the days ahead. But, you cannot "reason" with Satan. You must pay close attention to those things which are NOT told unto you. Right now at Christmas season it is happening just as I warned you--even more blatantly than I had expected. The letter bombings in your southern states are from a Supremist group steeped in Satan worship. I need to point out a most important point herein for I think most of you do not look beneath or beyond what is told to you under the guise of "news". Raise your hand and get your graduation papers if you knew the following: Guns don't kill people. People kill. And satanic infected people kill the most. Why do you think a young couple was taken from a movie theater in California this week and the man beaten and the young lady beaten, raped and murdered? Let us look at two cases of murder which turned everyone inside out regarding gun control. First the Patrick Purdy case (at the elementary school in Stockton, California) and then the old "Son of Sam" killings in New York City by David Berkowitz. The crucial feature of both the Purdy and Berkowitz killings was the link to Satanism, INITIALLY COVERED UP IN BOTH CASES. SATANISTS, ASIDE FROM TAKING SADISTIC PLEASURE IN DOING EVIL FOR EVIL'S SAKE, BELIEVE THAT HUMAN AND ANIMAL BLOOD CONTAIN "ENERGY", AND THAT THE MORE BLOOD THAT IS SPILLED AND THE MORE PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT IS INFLICTED UPON THEIR VICTIMS, THE MORE "ENERGY" WILL BE RELEASED TO THE CONTROL OF THE SATANISTS. THIS IS WHY THE BODIES ARE FOUND TORTURED WHILE STILL ALIVE AND ARMS AND LEGS BROKEN. Please spare us too many details by just getting SATAN'S DRUMMERS. The first thing to look for (and the first thing covered up), in any of these mass murders in the U.S. in the recent decades, is evidence of Satanic beliefs. From there, the investigation must proceed into the Satanic underground which harbors such mass killers. The Satanic literature in Purdy's room and the Satanic markings on his clothes meant that Satanism was not an "aberration" of the case but the first thing which should have been investigated. Those in favor of gun control, however, such as your California Attorney General, John Van de Kamp, ruled out in his finding that "racial hatred" motivated Purdy. The initially successful cover-up of the Satanic elements in the Berkowitz case came unraveled in part due to the work of investigator-author Maury Terry and is outlined in his book, THE ULTIMATE EVIL. While the District Attorney, Eugene Gold (Queens, New York) and others insisted that Berkowitz was a lone killer, Terry catalogues the evidence those officials suppressed, that more than one killer participated in each crime and that Berkowitz himself acted as a member of a Satanic cult. Just before the first murder Berkowitz wrote a warning to the police, suppressed by them for years: "This is a warning to all police agencies in the tri-state area: For your information, a Satanic cult has been instructed by their high command to begin to systematically kill and slaughter young girls or people of good health and clean blood. They plan to kill at least 100 young "wemon" and men, but mostly "wemon" as part of a satanic ritual which involves shedding the victims innocent blood---I, David Berkowitz, have been chosen since birth, to be one of the executioners for the cult." Oh, well, you say, "Those are just some sick punks!" I am going to quote some truth unto you: "PROFESSOR LINKED TO SATANISTS FINALLY OUT OF TEXAS UNIVERSITY." "It has been confirmed that the University of Texas at Austin no longer employs Dr. Stephen Flowers, a Germanic language professor, who has ties to U.S. Army Reserve Lt. Col. Michael Aquino's Satanist Temple of Set. Concern over the implications of having an avowed leader of a Satanic church teach at a public university has been voiced by the National Democratic Policy Committee and other Texas groups fighting Satanism. This concern increased after Mark Kilroy, a University of Texas student, was murdered by a Satanic cult in Matamoros, Mexico. "According to knowledgeable sources, Flowers was one of the nine councillors of the Temple of Set. His Ph.D. dissertation was entitled "Runes and Magic". He studied at the University of Texas and at Goettingen University in West Germany. "While in West Germany, it is believed that Flowers participated in the revival of pagan Germanic beliefs, which have become the basis for neo-Nazi movements in West Germany. Flowers told a journalist that he has an interest in reviving 'the old Germanic traditions', and that he had personally participated in the founding meeting of the re-created Thule Society which took place in the early 1980's in West Germany. "Temple of Set founder, Michael Aquino, cites the original Thule Society, of which Adolf Hitler was a member, as an inspiration for the Temple of Set. Aquino staged a Satanic ritual at Wewelsburg Castle, where he invoked Himmler and other Nazis. "Flowers told an interviewer in 1980 that he is 'sympathetic' to the return of Europe to 'the values of pre-Christian Germany'. "The Temple of Set, which Aquino founded, and with which Flowers is connected, is a spin-off of the decade-old Church of Satan of Anton Szandor LaVey. In one Temple recruiting document, Aquino describes how he invoked the 'Prince of Darkness' in quest of a new mandate to preserve the concept of the Church of Satan. "Flowers is currently employed at Austin Community College, Rio Grande St. Campus, in Austin, Texas." Rest easy tonight, all you Texans. There is no way to impress upon you the importance of this movement directly toward evil. Topic: THE PALE HORSE - Chap 10 And the fourth seal was broken by the Lamb. John wrote, "I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Actually, it meant a word in Greek which is chloros--yellow-green color of sickly grass. It has also been described as chloros--the color of ashes; another calls it the color of a face "blanched with terror". Another described it as the horse being livid, the bloodless color of a corpse. You would use the root of the ancient Greek word when you describe the bilious color of chlorine gas that would seep from a wrecked tanker car and mists its poisonous way across the landscape, lethally leveling all life--plants and people alike--in its wake. Seated on this bilious horse was a rider "named Death, and Hades was following close behind him". Furthermore, this rider called Death was given power and permission to kill one-fourth of the world's population. What of the weapons of death? Sword, famine, plague and wild beasts for a few. Worse yet, these same revelations were given to Daniel, Moses, etc. In fact, some of the projections are quite awful to contemplate, "Wild beasts will rob them of their children, and destroy their cattle and herds, and make them few in number. The sword will avenge their breaches of the covenant. When they are gathered in their cities the pestilence will be among them. He will break the staff of bread and they will eat and not be satisfied." This was from John. From Ezekiel---heard a voice from out the ethers, "How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem my four dreadful judgments--sword and famine and wild beasts and plague--to kill its men and their animals!" Ah, but all the prophets say that there will be survivors--further, these four horsemen would ride over and over again throughout the ages. Throughout the centuries the fourth horseman has ridden in warning to effect positive change. And--he rides again. To make you give a bit of thought to this matter before settling down to your local football game. "One quarter of the population of the earth" is precisely the prediction that a major Soviet scientist said (1983) would perish in the FIRST nuclear exchange between the superpowers. And there you are, beloved ones, with no survival shelters and leaders with "more important things to be done". If man did not change of his ways and return his Mother Source to balance, he would find other nasty things in the woodwork. "The pestilence will cling to you until it has consumed you from off the land, which you go to possess. You will be smitten with consumption, with fever, and inflammation - - - and tumors, the scurvy and the itch, of which you cannot be healed. You will be smitten with madness and blindness and dismay of heart." Translated that means wasting, degenerative diseases, communicable diseases, cancers, deficiency diseases and incurable diseases such as VD, herpes simplex II, and AIDS. Mental illness and depression will rest upon the populace and there shall be addicted children and birth defects. There shall be endless and debilitating emotional traumas running rampant throughout the peoples. The cures for these things shall be kept from the people and hoarded by the controllers. As the changes come upon the earth the starving wild animals shall hunt within the cities. You shall fall prey to animal and insect-borne epidemics. The evil ones shall roam the earth unrestrained, torturing and killing their human brothers. There shall be uncontrollable pests that shall eat the fields and feed on man. There will be torment so devastating that men will beg for death only to find that death eludes them. Man shall live as the wild beasts. You would blame God? Well, so be it. While you are blaming God you might have been doing of your homework and finding shelter in his wings instead. All the programs which man promises to develop for bringing peace, plenty and longevity through science and technology will be eclipsed by a cataclysmic apocalypse and overturned in appalling brevity. For the ones who intend destruction and enslavement of you of the people have planned well and they will not go down easily. Topic: WHAT ABOUT FAITHFUL AND TRUE - Chap 10 Now we get on to the fifth horse--the snow white horse. What does that vision mean? It means that the WORD of truth shall come forth and the rider of that wondrous "horse" shall bear of his new name and man shall see that which he has done unto his Source. Man, however, will not awaken and see his plight until he has sunken to his lowest and most perilous point in all history--not until after the four horsemen have swept the lands and the bowls of the full seven seals have been emptied. Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth itself if left unto his own devices. So you are not left to your own devices past a given point where the higher truth shall intervene and the cycle will end and the new begin. The word is being given unto you now. The messengers are at hand and the higher ones are arrived to show you the way home. We do not come in the form of flapping winged spirits, we come in a form you can relate to. We come as your brothers of higher knowledge. This school is closing, chelas. You are in the time of chaos and the play will be finished whether or not you are prepared. It is time to heed the truth of the word for you shall not be in the surviving of these things unless you awaken and get with the task at hand. The hosts of heaven are at hand and the brothers of the cosmos stand ready. So be it. Dharma, close this portion please. You are in the time known to the Indians as The Great Purification---will you perish or survive? It is your choice. Deny the messengers sent forth for your assistance and you have no way off your prison. I suggest you ponder these things most carefully. In love and service I take my leave. Salu, Hatonn to stand-by. Thank you Dharma. Good Day. Topic: CHAPTER 11 From: REC #1 HATONN/SANANDA Date: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1989 8:30 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 126 Hatonn present in the light of radiance and truth. This is a most important day for Sananda stands ready to commune about this journal. We shall speak briefly regarding the present before we move on into the writings. Panama: You want all there is to know about Panama. No, I will not even waste time on the subject to any extent. We have gone over the situation in many documents. Take note of several facets and you have your answers. Topic: COMMENTS - Chap 11 This show of strength on the part of the U.S. had to be done by the year end. How do you explain the deaths of the young men to the parents who were sent in "to protect the lives of Americans"? How do you explain the deaths of the citizens of Panama who were killed in "your" protection of them? Where is Mr. Noriega? Could it be to show force to the other countries who are going to suffer the same invasion? Do I condone dictators? No. Do I know where Mr. Noriega is located? Yes. And--he still has all his contracts and documents between him and the U.S. in safe-keeping. Oh yes, he was going to get a fair and speedy trial--most speedy indeed. Will there be unfavorable backlash? Of course. All the U.S. spokesmen are declaring "victory"! Victory over what? Do you think the American soldiers mired in the mud who had to be dragged out by tow-ropes are feeling foolish, or victorious? How do you think the world is going to feel when they witness pictures of the U.S. Army in such a snafu (I believe is your term)? It truly resembles something from Blazing Saddles and other Mel Brooks comedies. So be it. The entire action appears as ridiculous as it is in fact. Do not waste your energies on the matter for you are witnessing "distraction tactics" and you will err if you become distracted. There is one point, however, that you must not miss. Mr. Noriega had Israel's "finest" training his soldiers. Might there be some interesting insight herein? Have not the Israeli trainers been involved in other training instances lately---working for the Colombian Drug Cartel? What in the world might Israel be doing in these places? I make no judgment or further comment, I simply do not wish you to overlook some most important clues. And what of Mr. Castro while all this toy soldier game is going on---having tea with Mr. Noriega, perhaps? Do you think you are finished? You will be lucky if those "leaving" power don't blow up the entire canal and oil pipeline across Panama--with nuclear warheads! It can still be done from quite a distance away from Panama! So be it. What of Romania? Oh dear ones, it is the Time of Chaos. What more is there to say about it? These are the painful times. No "Christmas" in Bethlehem? There has been no celebration for years, so what is different? And what is the concern? That the trinkets for the tourists will not be sold again and the economy will suffer loss again. These are the signs of these times! Keep your eyes toward what is really under way--the hand is quicker than the eye if you do not pay most close attention. Back to our subject for this journal please. * * * ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 8 <<================= Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 682 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 8 <<============================== Esu Jmmanuel Jesus Sananda present. Do you wish more labels so that I can fit a category more suitable unto you? Quetzel Coatl, Zoroaster, Krishna, Buddah, Standing Bear---how many do you sleeping children of Earth need to see that you are limited and limiting of ones who hold so much more knowledge and wisdom than you that you are but infants in the cradle? You do not recognize of the cosmic messengers when they stand upon your head---you simply take an aspirin for the headache---along with liquor, drugs and blot your minds into blankness with mantras and meditation "to be". You want an in-depth explanation step by step, vision by vision as given to John 2,000 years ago? Why? You have the full vision before your eyes in vivid color! Stop looking to the ancient---look around you in the present. All you have is the present---THIS MOMENT! You ask about John and Revelations, Daniel, Nostradamus, Ezekiel----raise your heads from your beds and look around you. The time is over for speaking in riddles and puzzles--it matters not what it "meant"--what does it mean which goes on about you in this moment? Topic: I AM COME - Chap 11 I am come! I care not how you thought it would be---I tell you now how it IS. I am Sananda--one with Creator and The Creation, Aton, and I am come. I have walked among you many, many times and I have pleaded with you to grow and bring back balance and harmony into this part of Creation and you have turned me and my hosts away. There will be no fluffy clouds for a "Rapture". There shall soon be a "migration" which will take place as the lifting off your orb and into very meticulously prepared shuttle craft into Mother ships for holding in security. There will also be a mass migration at an essence level. Already, in the past years of your counting, the astral planes have been emptied and it is getting down to you and me, brothers. Well, you, Satan and Me. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SATAN AND ME---YOU WILL BE LEFT TO CHOOSE AND YOU BETTER BE DOING IT RIGHT AWAY. You can look unto your night skies and do not confuse yourselves by thinking those rainbow strobe lights are twinkling "stars". They are your brothers from the cosmos at ready for evacuation and whatever else is required of them. You ones will take these new crumbs of hope as projected by the evil ones upon your place---the hope of peace and you shall grovel at their feet for more, more, more. Just as the final "scroll" you will consume it and at first it will be sweet like honey and then the stomach will sour and be filled with the stings of the scorpions. You shall reap devastation and tribulation as you have never imagined. I offer you my hand, my ships, my life itself and you turn away. So be it for in the days to come ye shall reap that which you have sowed. Men will mock me and thee but they shall perish by their own doing. Creator has stayed our hands until you have the truth before you but the planet Earth shall not be obliterated. Almost all of civilization as you know it will be destroyed and, except that I come with the hosts from the cosmos, you will annihilate your species. There shall be a great shifting of the poles and magnetic focus of your planet---it has happened before, it shall happen again. You have been allowed to experience in manifested form upon the orb and you have been destructive to the destruction of the life source itself--that which is called the Mother Source. You have unbalanced your world and she shall turn upon her axis and nothing shall remain as before in unchanged manner. Even that of the old which remains for the new beginning shall be changed in topography. You are down to the very last few "years" of your counting framework and you had better stop picking at one another and get into action to prepare for the time at hand. Stop your waiting for me to show up on the fluffy clouds; I am already there and it has naught to do with clouds. Your illusion world is coming to a screeching halt and you are going to move into the truth of reality---how you choose to experience it remains in your free-will decision. Just as evil has grown in unbounded measure to overflow this land of Satan's playground--so have the hosts of heaven been transferred to you in numbers sufficient to be the "ground forces" of the mighty fleets. Why do you linger in your asking about the 3 and 1/2 years and the 7 years and the 29 years and the ten horns and the little horn---look about you. Those were clues to get you to this point. You quarrel and pick and ponder while you could have made your decision---most of you will still be in the pondering and arguing when the end is come. The seventh seal which was not to have been explained in those ancient days is open and needs no explaining---LOOK ABOUT YOUR WORLD! SHE CAN NO LONGER BE SUSTAINED IN HER INJURED UNBALANCE. These lessons are being given forth that you can see, know and understand. They are being put to documents for the history of mankind to be kept in safe-keeping places for the generations to come. The ancient oral teachings are coming forth right now also, pay attention to what is told unto you for they, too, are being put to document that you can understand and the generations to come in the new cycle will know at the proper sequence of that which will come unto them. Through the cycles of generations of soul experience the play does not change--only the players. Further, in the ending--there is but one player and you had better come into the understanding of that fact! Yours is to go forward and experience in the next dimension of understanding. The old shall be cast away from your memories. Those who have not grown into knowledge of truth are destined to repeat the experiences of history. Those of you who "graduate" shall move on into radiance and wondrous new experiences. Some will remain and begin the rebuilding and nurturing of the dense planet during her healing. The Earth herself is birthed into a new dimension and a new frequency of experience. At this point in your evolution you must look to survival of a species---hopefully, YOU. There is the time of severe tribulation in which you must prepare to eat, survive nuclear war, pestilence, famine, plague and earth upheaval in increasing bombardment. The word of truth must be gotten to all of the children of the planet. You have much work (fun) to accomplish---stop the toying in the ancient and get on with your work. Just as the Old Testament ended into the New, so the New now moves on to the Newer--learn from the past--do not continue to boil in the stew trying to turn the potato into the carrot. Turn to the important things---get busy and allow the saving of your species from AIDS. Get yourselves protected and sheltered against the soon coming day of horrendous nuclear and beam war, store your foods against the famine and pestilence, fill your vessels against the days of no rain, get your dwellings underground or protected in some manner from the winds which shall sweep across your planet from every direction at the force of the mighty tornados. Move beyond your silly games and recognize the truth for it is most obvious in "reason" and "logic". Stop waiting for mystical magic to "save" you --- you are going to pick yourself up and "save" yourself or you will perish in your physical format. No-one is going to snatch you off that orb--if you want off you will stop of your games and ask to be removed--on our ships by space command. No clouds to float on and no evil shall be brought into these realms, so you make your choices and, yes---the time to do so is NOW! Kill the speakers and get rid of them and all you do is pave your way with death. But by this route will you be brought into safety. Except through this route shall you be taken home and off that orb. Hide your head and refuse to listen and be prepared to wave good-by. What is the matter with you ones---do you not yet realize that the physical passes? You can take naught with you beyond that place now for the grave gets it all. Yes, great, great quantities of you ones shall not give up your physical beings this time of separation from your placement---but you will bring no worldly goods with you---we need them not nor will they be allowed on board. Wondrous placement is prepared for each of you and ample space is provided. But those ships will not be in the stand-by and waiting for you to decide on that day of days! Continue in your fear and disbelief about your brothers in space who bring their crafts to assist you and you simply will bring perishment of the physical forms upon your place. We are here, the hosts of heaven are come and at stand-by and ready---you have a lot of work to get done and a very short time in which to do it. The cosmic command is ready to assist--they will not intervene except as allowed by the Cosmic Councils so you will petition for the help or you will get very little. We shall weep for you who choose the black road of darkness but that is all that we shall do--Creator gave you free-will choice which shall be honored unto the end. You shall be cleared from this Mother planet one way or another for the Source must be healed. How you go is strictly up to you. So be it for it shall come to pass in this generation. It can be a most wondrous experience beyond that which you can imagine or ye can choose of the darkness and suffering--the joys of the flesh are lessening every moment of your perceived existence. You have become a miserable, sickened humanity--there is no joy remaining except in the hearts of those who understand the truth. You are people of the lie and your lot shall worsen. I am cutting this document short, Dharma, because of happenings upon your orb we will not play longer in the game of comparative history and visions and prophets. You had all better get integrated with these journals and the returned prophets who are explaining the old, as well as working closely with those energies who stand by on this side of the veil in readiness to guide your work. See to that which Little Crow needs to manifest the oral teachings and turn your efforts to that project, you ones of my crew. Understand, little chelas, that I am so well pleased with your works and I hold you in the hollow of mine hand along with the others who have labored long in my vineyards. You shall be coming together rapidly now as the word goes forth and the call is recognized. Remember, too, the best way to defeat an enemy is to make him your friend and co-worker. Do not quarrel with those who ridicule and shout obscenities at you and your work---bring them forth into the light that we might set the records to straight. There are no "little grey men" out in these realms to harm a living soul on your placement and you ones had better recognize those stories for the lies which they are. Your "space brothers" are your only way off that orb! SO BE IT AND SELAH FOR AS I HAVE SPOKEN THESE WORDS SO DO I PLACE THE SEAL OF CREATOR UPON THEM IN TRUTH. Hold my hand, chela, for though the road be rough and dangerous ye shall be given the strength to bear that which is given unto you. My wings can cover the whole of you. Take leave for respite and we shall consider our next writings. If there is time for the playing then we shall allow the enlarging of the history games. The tapestry is finished--enjoy the picture but do not unravel the pieces lest they no longer fit into their places for you are not yet given to know ALL nor will you be given to know WHEN! YOU SHALL WAIT IN PATIENCE OR IMPATIENCE--IT MATTERS NOT EXCEPT UNTO YOUR PEACE AS AN INDIVIDUAL. NAUGHT SHALL BE BROUGHT FORTH BEFORE ITS PROPER TIME. NOTHING! WE CAN SEE OF BOTH ENDS OF THE ROAD--YOU CANNOT SEE BEYOND THY NOSE! IN LOVE I MOVE ASIDE THAT YOU MIGHT PONDER THESE THINGS. AU DAI PA DAI CUM I AM COME AND I AM THAT ONE FOR WHOM YOU HAVE WAITED LONG-- I AM SANANDA OF CREATOR/CREATION I PLACE MINE BENEDICTION UPON YOU ONES THAT YOU WALK IN LIGHT FOR YOUR TIME IS AT HAND. AHO Topic: CHAPTER 12 From: REC #1 HATONN/SANANDA Date: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1989 8:30 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 127 Hatonn present and a bit amused at my scribe. If I can reach Dharma, then I can gauge that which you are prepared enough to receive. Blessings, chela. Panama: Possibly you will get sick of hearing about Panama and we can get our "real" work done. It is quite nice of the dark forces to give us such good examples as we move along here and Panama is a grand one. Most of you will not have heard these things which I will tell you but if you seek you shall find. DO NOT THINK THAT WE CONDONE MR. NORIEGA'S ACTIVITIES BUT WE DO CONDONE THEM MORE THAN WE CONDONE THE ACTIONS OF YOUR GOVERNMENT. I SHALL EFFORT AT BREVITY. From the beginning Mr. Noriega was working within the contracts and agreements set up by your government and CIA. Mr. Noriega was a member of the CIA. He has documents to prove it. There was NO DECLARATION OF WAR set forth by Mr. Noriega. He made a speech to rally strength and said: "What the U.S. is doing is tantamount to being in a state of war." The soldiers who were involved in "incidents" were sent in deliberately in civilian clothes to precipitate an "incident". There was not even a hint of the Noriega troops doing any harm whatsoever to any American citizens. There were no valid elections, there were nine different parties in the running---Mr. Noriega got more votes for a "single" candidate than did any others. Further, the opposition candidates were beaten by "paid" radicals to place the blame on Mr. Noriega. Mr. Noriega has evidence that will incriminate the highest officers in your government. There is no intent to capture this man---your government wants him DEAD! The whole world has an opportunity to begin to save itself but all you hear is "praise to Mr. Bush"! You are hearing your death knell as a remotely free people. Mr. Bush "sent in troops to protect U.S. citizens, etc., blah, blah, blah!" Two deliberately staged incidents and now you have an army out at Christmas, the entire of Panama City in shambles and looting, hostages on both sides, Panama citizens afraid to walk outside and hundreds upon hundreds of people wounded, maimed and dead. Forty-five minutes prior to the U.S. invasion, and under U.S. protection and supervision, the ruling authority was inaugurated--by the Americans-----the American government's choice! You now have a General who is in charge of the elite Delta force of the U.S. of A. wanting to go right on "down through Colombia and the other Central American countries and clean them out". And, further, he "wants Mr. Noriega bagged and tagged" and gives a dozen reasons why he will be caught dead and not brought back for trial - anywhere. Meanwhile, nice little dumb Senators and Representatives are pleading with Noriega's Florida attorney to get him to get Mr. Noriega to "surrender" for a fair trial. The attorney's calls were never returned nor accepted by anyone of authority---especially Mr. Chaney (Secretary of Defense). The "indictments" against Mr. Noriega were so flimsy that they were set aside by your own grand-jury and in fact, Mr. Reagan offered Mr. Noriega the dropping of all charges against him if he would leave Panama -- "for a vacation"! Mr. Noriega would never make it far enough to ever even get to trial if he "surrendered". He can pull the government noose down and finish off the job that the Contra Iran-gate didn't manage. No, you blind little citizens, who think you are fighting for your children's lives against drugs--you are sheep to the slaughter and you push and shove to be first in line to the butchers. And WHO demands the sale of these drugs? YOU THE PEOPLE OF THE U.S.---YOU DEMAND THEM. I HOPE THAT A FEW OF YOU FEEL QUITE FOOLISH AND YOU HAD BETTER BE PRAYING THAT MR. NORIEGA GETS AWAY AND RALLIES SOME WORLD SUPPORT--FOR YOU, AS CITIZENS OF YOUR WORLD, ARE UNDER SIEGE AND YOU DON'T SEEM TO EVEN RECOGNIZE IT. YOU ARE KILLING YOUR CHILDREN--NOT MR. NORIEGA--HE IS SIMPLY A CORRUPT PARTICIPANT IN THE "SYSTEM". THE "BAD BOYS OF THE GREY RACES" ARE VIEING FOR CONTROL, MY DEARS, NO MORE AND NO LESS. OH YES, THERE ARE THE GREY RACES, THE GREY MEN, THE GREY ALIENS AND THEY ALL MAKE UP THE BLACK FORCES. AND FINALLY, YOU ONES ARE GETTING AROUND TO SENDING ME THE RIGHT KIND OF QUESTIONS TO WHICH I CAN RESPOND. I AM MOST JOYFUL THIS DAY AND I THANK ONES WHO HAVE SENT THESE THINGS INTO MY ATTENTION FOR THIS IS THE ROUTE THE INFORMATION MUST TAKE. If we do not handle our information properly and carefully, we shall be lumped in the same pile of garbage as the other U.F.O. touters and misinformers. Ours is not to cause trouble, we simply wish to wake you sleeping team-members up from your slumber---the A-team has been at rest while the S-team has cleaned up at the scoring line. Perhaps you of the Pleiades Command on Planet Earth are too weary to get off your duffs. Don't blame Space Command for your lack of action. I am going to tell you some hard truths: Topic: HARD TRUTHS - Chap 12 SEMJASE: "In the past we have witnessed those who were unable to determine the truth or were frightened when confronted with it; this serves no purpose for terrestrial man or ourselves. The fear must never be present at all. Men hold the truth within themselves and must only know this to find it." 1976. HERMES: "Listen to your inner selves and look into the infinity of space and time. There reverberate the songs of the stars and the harmony of the spheres. "Each sun is a thought of Creation, each planet a mode of that thought. In order that you may know divine thought, O souls, you painfully descend along the paths of the seven planets and their seven heavens and ascend once again. "What do the stars do? What do the numbers say? What do the spheres revolve? O souls that are lost and saved, they relate, they sing, they revolve your destinies." PROFESSOR THOMAS GOLD, Cornell University: "Life on Earth may have started when space men landed here billions of years ago." LUCRETIUS, 99-55 B: "All this visible universe is not unique in nature and we must believe that there are, in other regions of space, other beings and other men." DR. FELIX ZIGEL, Moscow Institute of Aviation: "The UFO phenomenon is a challenge to mankind. It is the duty of scientists to take up this challenge, to disclose the nature of the UFO, and to establish the scientific truth." JAVIER GARZON, National Astronomical Observatory, Mexico City: "UFO's really exist and apparently come from other planets." VON PAPST JOHANNES XXIII, Pier Carpi, 1935, (German trans.) "The signs are increasing. The lights in the sky will appear red, blue, green, rapidly. They will grow. Someone is coming from very far and wants to meet the people of the Earth. Meetings have already taken place. But those who have really seen have been silent." SO BE IT! Topic: MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO YOUR ANCESTORS? - Chap 12 You are about to meet YOURSELF, so sit down if you must. I would like to believe you are not so foolish in the lie to fail to recognize your own birthright. You ones who quote the Bible and then deny of God's place in the heavens and brothers from "space": JOB 38:31--"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion?" AMOS 5:8--"Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into morning, and maketh day dark with night: that calleth forth the waters of the sea, and pourth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name!" Topic: THE FUTURE IS ONLY THE PAST AGAIN, THROUGH A DIFFERENT Topic: DOOR - Chap 12 A LITTLE HISTORY PLEASE: Throughout time thousands of cultures, religions, and beliefs have been introduced to this delicate planet you call home. Many of these ideals and ideas conflict or contradict each other and existing in every single one is a positive/negative flow of information. However, in all of the societies and civilizations that have been researched for this connection, one topic remains alluded to as a consistent "enlightening" force. This singular common denominator, which can be found in the earliest texts and legends, is the mystifying cluster of suns which are THE PLEIADES. DEAR ONES, THE ANCIENTS AND THE RELATIVELY RECENT CITIZENS OF TRUTH RECOGNIZE THE PLEIADES AS THE "HOME OF GOD" OR "THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE WHERE GOD ABIDES" AND "THE SEAT OF IMMORTALITY". In your late year about 2690--B, the "Yellow Emperor" of China, Huang-Ti, in whose reign miraculous progress was made (utensils of wood, clay and metal were manufactured; boats and carts were constructed and utilized and the medium of currency was originated. Provinces of the vast country were mapped, accupressure and accupuncture became sciences), acknowledged liberally that this rapid development came forth from conversations held in court with his consultants--beings from the Pleiades. The HOPI named them "Choo ho kan", meaning those who cling together, and they, too, consider themselves direct descendants of the inhabitants of the cluster. The Hopi, as well as the Navajo and Sioux, along with many other tribes and cultures dispersed around the world, used a calendar that allowed them to chart the seasons, special events and ceremonial rites with uncanny accuracy. They used a system based on a 260 day "Sacred Round", or minor cycle, and a 365 day year, a major cycle which equaled a period between the midnight culminations of the Pleiades. Any day calculated on these cycles would not repeat itself for 18,980 days or 52 years. In the "Kiva of the Mesas" (Sacred Temple of the Mesas) the Hopi ceremoniously "light the new fire". This occurs every 52 years when the temple's sacred points align with the stars, Choo ho kan. All fires are extinguished throughout the nation and rekindled from a sacred fire produced by the holy men. The young men of the tribe learn the importance of the Pleiades early in life, for initiation into the spiritual ways takes place only when the cherished cluster is directly overhead at night. The CREEKS claim to have come to Earth from the stars in spirit form to become flesh and blood. Each year a medicine man who has served the apprenticeship of seven years performs the "green corn dance" where he takes seven ears of corn from seven fields of the seven clans to insure a healthy harvest. The Dakota Ehanni stories (tales of the world previous to the Dakota emergence) speak of the Tayamni, the home of their ancestors, and the reason for the seven tribes . . . the Pleiades. The Seven Sisters play a major role in their history as well as their present day culture. In May, the Month of Hanblaceya, the Dakota/Lakota communicate with the spirits. Astronomy tells you that the Pleiades rise with the sun in May and the Lakota oral history tells you that the home of the spirits is the Pleiades. The older Dakota/Lakotas say that when you die, your spirit goes to the Milky Way and turns south . . . south to the Seven Stars! YOU NOW KNOW WHY LITTLE CROW, LAKOTA SOUIX AND WAMBLESHA FROM WAKAN TANKA ATON, SHALL BE PUTTING THE ORAL TRUTHS FORTH FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION. YOU OF OUR BELOVED BROTHERS COME FROM US, WITH US AND ARE OF US---OF PLEIADES. HIS JOURNAL SHALL MOST LIKELY BE LABELED THE SACRED HILL WITHIN AND SHALL COME FORTH AMONG THESE JOURNALS OF THE PHOENIX---SOON. I SUGGEST EVERYONE READING THESE WORDS GET IN EARLY LINE FOR IT IS THE MOST PRECIOUS DOCUMENT TO EVER BE BROUGHT FORTH UPON YOUR PLACEMENT. AHO! The NAVAJO named the sparkling suns of the Pleiades, the "Dilyehe", the OSAGE believe their society was once pure of spirit and journeyed from those stars to the Earth. The IROQUOIS believe the twinkling orbs represent seven young people who guard the holy seed throughout the night. Topic: NOTE OF INTEREST - Chap 12 The Hohokam, a Pima word meaning "that which has vanished", disappeared from the arid Arizona desert they had so successfully irrigated and tamed. Although no one will ever be certain why they vanished or where they went, legend claims they returned to their home in the stars. Truth is far stranger than fiction, chelas. Note #2: 1980 and 1981 witnessed a Native American exodus to the lush green hills of Canton Zurich. Tribal leaders and medicine men from across the continental U.S. had caught word of the on-going experiences and sought out the contactee. They came to congratulate him for his courage and to compare their histories and prophecies to those of the visitors from the Seven Stars. Astounding as that might seem to you doubtful ones, the majority of concepts were a unified thought shared by "Earth-humans" and Pleiadians alike. I HEARTILY SUGGEST YOU STOP YOUR PICKING AND PAY ATTENTION. THE TIME IS AT HAND FOR YOU TO LEARN OF THESE THINGS FOR IT IS THE CYCLE OF THE TIMES WHICH SHALL BRING YOU HOME AGAIN. AND I BELIEVE YOU BEGIN TO GET A GLIMMER OF WHERE "HOME" MIGHT BE LOCATED AND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET THERE, LITTLE BROTHERS! Topic: HONOR TO A BROTHER - Chap 12 I am going to give honor and appreciation to a brother. I shall endeavor to keep him in security and anonymous. I am in great appreciation for his service and information relay and I trust the appropriate personage to get this response into his hands. Selah. I shall quote and then comment: "Allow me to share some of my contact experiences, at some risk, but all for the cause of saving the planet's life cycles, and ending the conspiracy of the world Order and their Bilderbergers, just agents, who are ordering the overthrow of democratically-governed countries and the torture and executions (85,000, El Salvador; 65,000, Nicaragua; 100,000, Guatemala; 1,000,000+, Cambodia; a whole generation of mothers and fathers in Argentina; 20,000 Blacks with decapitated legs, Namibia, etc.) of millions of innocent common people who protest the social oppression and barbarisms of the sociopathic industrial elitists and the "ricos". I SUGGEST YOU RUSH TO YOUR NEAREST TELEPHONE AND CALL AMERICA WEST PUBLISHERS AND OBTAIN SPACE-GATE, SPIRAL TO ECONOMIC DISASTER, IN FACT, ALL OF THE "PHOENIX JOURNALS" ALONG WITH GETTING ON THE LIST FOR THE SACRED HILL WITHIN AND A BOOK CALLED BRACE YOURSELF, THERE'S MORE. The anonymous author of the latter document petitioned us to intervene in the heinous murders referred to above. A lot of you don't understand why we cannot intervene. You know, it is that you want to hear it again and again so that you can come to some inner balance within yourselves. Nonetheless, I shall continue to quote herein: "I'm the one who expressed disappointment to a Pleiadean about their not intervening directly to rescue these people being slain (the Law of Compassion, and the Golden Rule). It is not our karmic destiny and problem alone. It is also the karmic problem of the Pleiadeans obviously, as they are, for one, here, and we were one. They and we were the Elders from the Orion Constellation (Horseheas Nebula, Rigel, Beetleguese) who colonized both Mars and the Earth (Terra). Our secret government and NASA know all these things, they have walked about the ruins on Mars, our sister planet which had its life cycles poisoned and virtually killed, just as we're now doing here (Mars originally had oceans, forests, atmosphere)." This is not to offend this author but some of these mentioned places are a bit incorrect in spelling, i.e. human maps refer to "Betelgeuse", etc. Do not be distracted by such drivel, readers. Included at the end of this document is a diagram of your winter heavens and a sketch of Pleiades. Another thing you might note herein, is that The Ring Nebula of Lyra, is referred to by Pleiadians (you) as "The Eye of God". I further ask Philus Ranos to pay attention to Cassiopeia and see if there is anything familiar. Continue quote: "When our colonies on Atlantis and Lemuria finally broke up (all verified by laser enhanced sonar and video by specially outfitted U.S. and Soviet submarines and craft), some of us sailed to the Pyrennes, others to the Yucatan peninsula, but others had left the Earth prior in craft. The Pleiadeans are only one such group. I have communicated directly with another, as well." AHO! "You can't save the planet and its people with a book alone. The Order won't hesitate to eliminate you" (and then there are many names mentioned which shall remain unmentioned) "and thousands of American and British aerospace engineers, builders, and scientists who have been killed trying to warn the public about the 'Alternative 3' conspiracy" (SEE SPACE-GATE) "(cancelled 20/20 program)". Why? Not technology (the Moon and Mars bases) as Frank Edwards and Keyhoe correctly reasoned. But partly due to the Deal with the Reticulians in 1948-49 for some anti-gravity technology in exchange for family abductions and mass cross fertilizations ("MISSING TIME", "INTRUDERS", and especially the identity of the Order, the World Banks, the Protocols of _____, and the plan to oppress the working class people economically. "There are a few of us who are aware that we are here karmically to fight the conspiracy, an old battle. Not just the Reticulian bases the U.S. CIA built at Groom Lake facility, Nellis AFB, Nevada and Dulce, New Mexico, but also the reptilian people of Osirius who have three invasion bases here and who caused, in effect, the destruction of the colonies on Mars and the Earth 11,400 years ago as 'Mars and Venus battled in the skies'. Please confirm all this with Hatonn." Topic: SO BE IT! ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE MORE Topic: THAN YOU WANTED! - Chap 12 As I have told these ones over and over and over again---IT IS NOT THE LITTLE GREY MEN FROM SPACE THAT ARE HERE TO GETCHA---IT IS THE GREY MEN RIGHT ON YOUR PLACEMENT! Yes, there are bases there on your place. There are some dastardly beings within those bases---mostly, however, they are flesh and blood "good old boys" of the conspiracy. There are not body-snatchers, however, who fly around in space craft nailing unsuspecting bodies. Those are planned and orchestrated abductions to scare the living daylights out of you people so you will be terrified of all space men and U.F.O's. who might venture into your space. Earth became a prison planet some eons ago. The head of the dark energies was sent here, for heavens sake, as punishment for those things perpetrated elsewhere in the cosmos. What do you ones expect---he pulled all his thugs along with him and he most certainly will not fold his tent easily and fly into the bright morning skies---for one thing---he cannot! The Grey Conspiracy has been trying to locate an achievable placement to "escape" unto. In exchange for technology they promised much to several races of space dwellers who are in gross trouble. These ones, however, came in good intent and honestly felt there could be a working relationship with man of Earth who is in terrible circumstance. Ah yes, the Grey Men of the Conspiracy can get off your planet but they don't have a very desirable place when they get there. They are, however, frantic to gain expertise for they know that ultimately there is such unbalance here that the planet will shift. Their objective is to rid this planet of enough inhabitants to allow it to re-balance itself so they won't have to leave. The only thing they have to offer to ET's is control, money and worldly goods. These things are not of value to anyone in the cosmos who has achieved truth. ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 9 <<================= Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 884 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 9 <<============================== Please understand that you as a civilization of thoughtforms of the Creator source were given this place on which to EXPERIENCE. We work within the Laws of Creation first, the Laws of God secondly and we are bound by constraints beyond that which you in your awakening cannot yet remember. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO INTERVENE. WHEN WE DO COME, EVEN TO YOUR SURFACE TO GET YOU OF OUR OWN BROTHERS, WE MUST HAVE SPECIAL DISPENSATION. WE ARE BOUND BY COSMIC LAW TO KEEP OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS----THOSE WHO BREAK THOSE LAWS SHALL PAY MOST DEARLY. THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE SO--THEY FORFEITED THEIR RIGHT TO RETURN TO THE UNIVERSAL SKYWAYS--THEY ARE BOUND TO YOUR DYING PLANET. THOSE WHO CAME IN PEACE AND AS A PORTION OF THE COSMIC PLAN, DO THEIR WORK IN RESEARCH THROUGH PRIOR AGREEMENTS WITH THE ENTITIES INVOLVED. THEY DO NOT HARM, THEY DO NOT MUTILATE ANIMALS OR HUMANS AND THEY DO WONDROUS GOOD FOR YOUR SPECIES. You ones do not seem to remember---you will not drift up to some fluffy cloud and fly around with a Master Christos. You will be picked up by space craft and beamed through a high frequency light beam. We have had years upon years of ongoing research between thee and we to establish the ability to get the most possible humans through that light beam in safety. That means studies of blood effects, frequency increase to unthinkable levels above your norm, frequency decrease for us to the point of almost sacrificing our own beings. YOUR SPACE BROTHERS RISK THEIR VERY BEINGS TO COME TO ASSIST YOU. We know that you are weary and lonely and feel deserted---you are not---we are here and some of us are among you in full operation. We can only work in this manner. So be it with the dark energies also---they work exactly like we, except they had a great head-start and all of you helped them get in control. Not-with-standing, however, they shall not ultimately prevail. Further, we must remain in ultimate care of you daring ones for it is most dangerous indeed for all the reasons you have alluded unto. We have to guard this scribe every breath of her life. Ones come forth in the claim of friendship and service unto the very Sananda and would kill her work and her very being. They effort at frame-ups of all sorts--surveillance is heavier around this placement from the "conspiracy" than around the Pentagon. They have motion picture studios to build, survival models, general industrial businesses, etc., etc., and all from terrible disadvantage. But it can be done and it will be done---and it will be done legally and safely. The most important one thing at this moment, however, is to get the truth unto the citizenry in such manner that belief is feasible---believe it or not, our showing up in great mass is not the answer--yet! The U.F.O. landing in Russia is only half reported. The craft crew were immediately taken into custody, beaten and incarcerated. If you dig around a bit you will find the proof. That crew thought that village was ready for their landing---the village was, the authorities were not and acted on direct orders from the Grey Conspiracy. In your density our craft and our crews are as vulnerable as you. Anytime vibrations are lowered to visible manifestation you can damage severely. Some of us are etheric and are safe---most of your brothers are fourth dimensional higher beings than you but more like you than you can conceive. Be patient and gracious with your comrades for they work ceaselessly in your behalf. You know that the ultimate end shall be in the prevailing of the light forces for the evil cannot endure. Evil thrives upon evil and when the evil is ultimately removed it devours itself and the little hangers-on swing instantly around into the light the moment the controlling leaders are removed. The Law of God forbids the interference of FREE-WILL CHOICE AMONG HUMANS. No one is allowed, nor has any desire, to interfere with that which you choose to do. It is saddening to us to see that which happens but it is not for US to change of it---it IS for YOU to change of it. There is a most pertinent and sad statement made by the above author: "I won't mention names but those who promote the idea that it is 'communists' who are behind all this 'Order', are infiltrators, 'moles', working for the conspiracy, and they are dangerous for the 'Cause' (they use the principle of direct reversal with the abstract hemisphere of the brain, "not us, but they", "Deadly Deceits", Ralph McGehee; "Washington's Secret War Against Afghanistan", Philip Bonosky). And they sit in the UFO Conferences and monitor everyone. Finally, they control the media. The people of the U.S. are the most misinformed people of the world about what is happening internationally. "After you have conveyed these thoughts to Hatonn, Semjase, and her dad, and had all this complicated and most subtle conspiracy and cosmic history and battle confirmed, then perhaps you will feel that time is running out fast for us." Salu, and thank you, friend. By the way, Semjase's father is Semjasa---a most respected individual indeed. I toy with the fact, for of course, he is also your father. Semjasa was the heavenly son and guardian angel of God, Aton, the great ruler of those who traveled from Pleiades. Your portion of the human race (the white race) on earth was conceived through him---Adam was his son. And, dear ones, the ancients were already aboard Earth-ship! Please see AND THEY CALLED HIS NAME IMMANUEL--I AM SANANDA. The cycle is ending---the circle closing. Be patient a bit longer for the pain shall be greater yet and in your consciousness you shall not understand but it is coming in the only manner in which it can. Beloved ones, do not have despair and do not fall to false ones or tales in your impatience---let us get the word forth to all men and ye shall see wondrous and miraculous changes begin to flow as man comes into the truth of who HE IS. GOD USES NOT FORCE UPON HIS CHILDREN---IF THERE IS "FORCE", IT IS NOT OF GOD! So be it, chela, for this session. It shall at first be hard to absorb but the logic and truth will come into fulness as you ones ponder these things. I move to stand-by---always in thy service. I AM HATONN TO STAND-BY AND CLEARING FREQUENCY. Topic: CHAPTER 13 From: REC #1 HATONN Date: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1989 8:00 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 128 Hatonn present in light and truth. Dharma, it is most necessary that we sidestep the "fun" revelations to explain and give substantial evidence for confirmation of some of the things which we have projected to you. Ones are having a terrible time believing old space cadets, therefore, we have to give you ones more quotes and document references. I would prefer to not do it in this journal but the next few weeks shall be filled with the Ancient Oral Teachings and the public must have more of this information. There are other excellent resources but we need to continue to build our credibility. Further, documents keep coming forth which are, for the most part, factual but in total are not. You ones must be given that which is truth and guided a bit farther regarding that which is not. You will hone your discernment abilities quickly as you gain insight into the whole blueprint. Topic: THE DILEMMA OF EVIL - Chap 13 It is important for you ones to know what is going on about you and further, WHY the workers of the evil coalition must work so hard at "winning". Those energy forms from the higher dimensions who have been "placed" on your planet cannot move into a higher dimensional existence without throwing off of the evil. They are simply not allowed in the Universal realms. They are dense, low frequency beings who cannot survive the high frequency vibrations of a higher dimension. In other words, they are isolated and bound to a third, or lower, dimension. Oh yes, they can have "invisible" energy form but they cannot bear the compression of high frequency. The desire, therefore, is to pull as many soul energies into density as possible, gain control of the planet politically and economically and kill off the overpopulation and free up lands and resources----hopefully to maintain enough balance to prevent the pole shifting. Backup plan, for they do not expect the above plan to be successful, is to have a placement prepared in a third dimensionally secure place to "ride-out" the period of time of earth shift. You ones were given a most beauteous place upon which to function, experience and clean up your souls---most have flunked the course. The alternative places for the dense energies to be placed are most hard indeed---souls do not perish you know, and a low density energy form has only extremely horrendous places to be kept. Not all dense souls are evil---most are simply ignorant and hold to false leaders--the results remain about the same either way. Our effort is to point out the truth so that you ones can see the negative blueprint and make some informed choices. I do tell you now that it is not like your ordinary indoctrinated Bible teachers will tell you, with one major exception---if you do not come into the path of light and truth you will have made your choice to remain in the heavy density, at which point when the changing upheaval comes, your physical house will be in perishment. The lower astral planes are most heinous indeed and thus do we work to raise your insight and knowledge of the way it is and not the way your leaders tell you it is. You can see all about you that it is not the way they tell you it is. We of these higher realms will only provide truth--no force shall be applied for force is not of God. You each shall have to be in individual deciding. I shall again be utilizing data already brought forth from both our books and bits and pieces from myriads of other journals, periodicals and publications---this will be quite strictly documented for your research. Dharma, bear with me, chela, for I know it is difficult for you to work in blindness as to that which I give unto you. I shall, however, also give you the places to check that you might later come into your own comfort. Yes, precious, I am here in Light and your space is clear. Our same old friends are monitoring the work but truth is truth and your surveillance personnel need the truth also. As I have told you, our very best workers today are prior surveillance personnel who monitored our centers. Most people do not want to be people of the lie but they have followed most blindly that which has been told unto them. Topic: ALLIES AND CO-WORKERS - Chap 13 The most outrageous outcry to Hatonn is, "Russia and the U.S. have not been allies!" Yes you have and yes you are! It is for the purpose of world control. Oh, I hate to have to be the one to bring this stark realization unto you. I drew the short straw again. I would just refer you ones to other references but I fear most of you will not obtain the information if we do not place of it herein. Now I am going to take some information verbatim from information that comes forth on a printed, separate page with the book THE PLAN. Forgive me, brothers, for using your material but it is exceptional and must be shared with as many as we can reach. Topic: THE SOVIET EMPIRE COLLAPSING? Topic: GLASNOST AND PERESTROIKA FOR REAL? - Chap 13 DON'T BELIEVE IT! WE vigorously resist the media-generated mindset that Soviet Communist Party thugs--those very same maniacs who slaughtered over one million people in Afghanistan and sent five million more fleeing to refugee camps--are now suddenly kindly reformers willing to yield power to the downtrodden masses. The seemingly cataclysmic events taking place in Soviet Bloc nations are part of a CAREFULLY PLANNED public relations scam. The Communist machine is only changing party names, and changing faces for esthetics. As the New York Times admits, the Communists in Poland, for instance, retain "a strangle grip on the army and the police, the principal tools of social control, and over the national television and radio, the principal instruments of its propaganda." When the dust of Soviet "reform" finally settles, the world will inevitably discover that the Communist totalitarian machine still holds absolute power in the U.S.S.R. and in its satellite nations. All economic and political activity will be controlled by the Reds and their secret police apparatus. All propaganda outlets and all wealth will be controlled by the Reds. All weapons will remain in the hands of the Reds. Soviet Communist Party head Mikhail Gorbachev purports to be Mr. Nice Guy. Yet the Pentagon tells us that in 1989--in direct violation of his recent pledges--he directed over ONE BILLION dollars in military aid to the Nicaraguan Communists. Secretary of State James Baker admits that the Soviets are now actively arming the murderous Communist rebels in El Salvador. Congressman Bill McCollum (R-Fla.) reports that the Soviets are behind round-the-clock bombing in Afghanistan where the Soviet puppet government is destroying all remnants of Afghan resistance there. The American Psychiatric Association recently found that Soviet mental institutions STILL incarcerate political prisoners and it has been verified that patients are STILL being crucified with pain-causing psychotropic drugs used for behavior modification. According to recent A.P. reports, the Soviet police STILL beat protesters with truncheons. The only thing that has changed about the Soviets is their: IMAGE! To those who have studied THE PLAN, it is blatantly obvious that the glasnost scam was developed to augment the impending merger of all nations under a global socialist governing authority. According to U.S. government documents, this all-powerful global authority is slated to be backed by a military machine which controls ALL of the world's conventional and nuclear weapons. Glasnost is a strategic political vehicle used to condition Americans to accept UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT OF THE U.S.A. Headlines are screeching that "international tensions are decreasing" and the U.S. faces "dramatic military cutbacks." Such drastic military cutbacks preface the U.S. Government's PUBLISHED PLAN to surrender all U.S. weapons to the United Nations military apparatus which, by international agreement, is operated AT THE TOP BY SOVIETS. Topic: AMERICA IS BEING SET UP FOR LITERAL SUICIDE. - Chap 13 Of great importance, glasnost provides rationale for channeling billions of American dollars to Red governments, including Communist Nicaragua which just raked in several millions in "election" funds, compliments of George Bush. Without this emergency funding, the despised and rotting Communist machine would collapse. In keeping with the declaration of Joseph Stalin that the "rich" nations of the world must be harnessed to provide "real and prolonged aid" to Communist nations, Sugar Daddy George and the Congress have just pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to Hungary and Poland. This money was pledged (no questions asked) despite the fact that these Warsaw Pact nations are an important part of the Soviet military machine which now, MORE THAN EVER, threatens America's existence. (Hatonn: And despite the fact that the debt already owed by those countries to you taxpayers--is positively staggering.) U.S. economic aid will enable the Soviets to continue financing terrorism and bloody revolution worldwide. This aid will also enable the Soviets to pay interest to the Western bankers who back Communist governments with massive loans. While Bush hands out money in wads, America's national debt increases by EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS per EVERY SECOND of EVERY HOUR of EVERY DAY. The major portion of this debt is owed to the SAME Soviet-loving bankers who, through their privately-owned Federal Reserve System, hold federal government bonds (IOUs) on which this debt must be paid. Counting unfunded liabilities, America is over 13 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt. Because this utterly impossible debt is surpassing the total wealth of the nation, America is absolutely bankrupt. Undaunted, the Bush regime pledges the fruits of the labor of FUTURE generations to keep the Red military machine solvent today. The authors hope that you will take the time to study the MASTER PLAN as outlined by the master planners themselves, and that after doing so, you will share this important information with anyone who will listen. Unless we can warn enough people in time, this nation will surely be doomed to endure the HIDEOUS ramifications of: THE PLAN. Topic: ONE WORLD MERGER - Chap 13 Vladimir Lenin, the first dictator of Soviet Russia said, "The aim of socialism is not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them." Well, let's begin with your educational system. In 1985, America's public education system was officially merged with the propaganda apparatus of the Soviet Union. By agreement between the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Soviet Academy of Sciences, the Communists of the Kremlin are helping to "restructure" American education from the third grade up. There is an agreement of some 40 to 50 pages negotiated by the U.S. State Department. The Soviets now provide American students with computer curricula, textbooks, films and visiting instructors authorized to conduct "experiments" in American schools and colleges. This agreement is to be renewed and up-graded at frequent intervals. Let me tell you a little story which came out of a congressional committee hearing which attempted to investigate America's largest, and most powerful tax-exempt foundations. Testimony of Norman Dodd, research director of the above named committee, who was invited to meet with President Roman Gaither of the Ford Foundation, in 1953 in New York, was met with the following: "Mr. Dodd, we invited you to come because we thought that perhaps, off the record, you would be kind enough to tell us why the Congress is interested in the operations of foundations such as ourselves. We operate here under directives which emanate from the White House. The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant-making power to alter life in the U.S. so that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union." Mr. Dodd was shocked and replied, "Mr. Gaither, I do not think you are entitled to withhold this information from the American people to whom you are beholden for your tax exemption. So why do you not tell the American people what you have just told me?" His answer was: "Mr. Dodd, we would not think of doing that." P.S. The powers behind the Ford Foundation control over 2.5 billion dollars in tax-free assets. Ford is one of the largest private foundations in the world. Topic: MORE "PILLOW" AGREEMENTS - Chap 13 The U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council, the New York-based organization published an ad in the Fall of 1985 in the JOURNAL OF THE U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council. You nice Americans were never intended to see it. The JOURNAL is published in the U.S. for distribution within the Soviet Union only. The advertisement is for ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Company), Decatur, Illinois 62525 USA, Telex: 25-0121 ADM-DTR. It projects a map of the U.S. and Russia joined at the borders with only Decatur and Moscow identified. The substance of the material reads as follows: "This map is far from accurate, but it does serve to illustrate a very important point. "As trade between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. expands, we're growing closer and closer together. "And that's especially true when it comes to food, feed and other agricultural products. "Those who trade with the Archer Daniels Midland Company are linked directly to America's largest source of processed agricultural products. "They also have access to tremendous amounts of corn, wheat, soybeans and other grains plus the wealth of technical knowledge ADM has acquired over the years. "So even though we're 5,000 miles apart, when you trade with ADM the distances seems to disappear." Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), is a billion-dollar Illinois-based agribusiness which sells cheap grain to the Soviets. Although it rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars in federal subsidies for its lucrative gasohol program. ADM head is Dwayne Andreas, dubbed by NEWSWEEK magazine as one of "Gorbachev's prairie pals." Andreas, who owns $230 million in ADM stock, makes large contributions to America's senators and congressmen. In 1988, Andreas spoke at a Trade and Economic Council meeting in Moscow. He assured his Soviet "pals" that there is little difference between the United States and the Soviet Union these days. He said: "While the Soviets are adopting capitalist market economy devices to make Lenin's socialism work better, we, over the past 40 years, have adopted many socialist devices intended to make capitalism work better. In the West, state ownership of major enterprises is long established. And where government does not own business institutions, it is their effective partner through tax and trade credit policies. So we're not as far apart as many people think." Andreas is co-chairman of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council. He also made a bid to buy the KGB-bugged U.S. Embassy building in Moscow in 1989. The Council is staffed by thirty Soviet directors; the Council is riddled with Soviet espionage agents, including the notorious General Yevgeniy P. Pitovranov, Stalin's favorite protege. Pitovranov has been identified by U.S. Intelligence as a leading KGB operative in charge of acquiring U.S. technical data. Pitovranov is on the Council's governing board. The Council continually interviews U.S. businessmen in quest of technology for the Soviet military machine. Thus, America's leading corporate capitalists and the dreaded Soviet KGB are not as far apart as people might think. One U.S. senator says of the Trade and Economic Council: "The Council is quite simply an arm of the Soviet government, under KGB control, whose purpose is to subvert the U.S. economy. The Communists have always believed in war on all fronts--military, diplomatic, social, and economic. The Council is an instrument of subversion." Senator Jesse Helms. In 1985, Malcolm Baldrige, who was then U.S. Commerce Secretary, CONFIRMED that the cozy partnership between Corporate America and the Soviet KGB has been arranged by the U.S. government. Baldrige told the Soviets at a Council meeting: "I am pleased to be here tonight to lend my support and the support of the United States government to the work of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council. More than ten years ago the Department of Commerce helped establish the Council, and events since then have shown this was a wise decision." Oh, and then good old boy, Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State, listed a number of these earthshaking "events" when he admitted: "Soviet behavior in recent years has given the lie to the argument that trade and credits by themselves will bring about a benign evolution of the Soviet system. Soviet-Cuban intervention in Angola, in Ethiopia, and in South Yemen; the invasion of Afghanistan; the suppression of Solidarity in Poland; and the use of toxic chemical and biological warfare in Afghanistan and Southeast Asia have all occurred in precisely the period of expanded East-West economic cooperation. I want to point out here that there are more than three hundred U.S. corporations who are members of this Council and more joining daily. Some of which you of my crew would recognize. Further, I make no judgment on the applicability of such interchange---I simply point out that you as citizens are not informed. If anyone listened to that which President Bush told you yesterday at the end of his Press Conference you would understand how really serious is your situation. He said that he kept secrets from the public and would most certainly continue to do so as long as he is President and if you don't like it you can vote him out of office next election. Yes, I am sure --- as Mr. LaRouche is proof of how easy it is to get a pre-selected candidate out of being elected and what happens to the ones who try! Mr. La Rouche's campaign secretary, Michael Billington was sentenced to 77 years in prison for political fundraising. This young lady and 16 other LaRouche associates were railroaded. Dear friends, you are in such drastic circumstance and you seem to not realize of it. This man did everything in his power to tell you how it is and you allowed this to happen to him. Of course he is not perfection----is Mr. Bush perfection? Further, yesterday Mr. Bush told you between the lines that business was never interrupted with China and that he gives ultimate credit to Mr. Kissinger----OPEN YOUR EYES AND EARS! Topic: THE GRAIN CONVEYOR BELT - Chap 13 Grain is vital to the Soviet military machine. Grain imports from the West allow the Soviets to concentrate their resources on military hardware, and on war and revolution throughout the world. Without grain imports, Soviet militarism and imperialism would fail. Viktor Suvorov, an important defector from the Soviet military intelligence apparatus (GRU), reports: "Socialism, for all its gigantic resources, is not capable of feeding itself. How easy it would be to place an embargo on the supply of bread to the Soviet Union, until Soviet forces no longer found themselves in occupied Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia, until such time as the Cubans no longer held sway in Africa, until the Berlin Wall disappeared. It would only be necessary to withhold supplies of grain for a few months, and the whole edifice of socialism might fall to pieces." Well, now you can simply send your grain directly to these places along with the tab for their freedom building. The full weight and authority of the U.S. government is directed towards providing ample grain for the Soviets. Since the 1960s, the U.S. has avalanched the U.S.S.R. with cheap grain. The Congressional Research Service reports: "The 1972 grain sales were characterized in the U.S. press as the "Great Russian Grain Robbery" because the tactic of minimizing public information about the size and suddenness of Soviet purchases resulted in lower prices than would otherwise have been obtained. Farmers complained that they would not have sold their grain as early or as cheaply had they known of Soviet intentions. Consumers complained about high food prices that resulted from the large draw-down in grain stocks." In 1983, the U.S. agreed to provide millions of metric tons of grains to the Soviets for each of five years. Yet, during the five years this agreement was in force hundreds of thousands of small U.S. farmers declared bankruptcy. U.S. taxpayers underwrite all grain sales to the Soviets because U.S. agriculture is heavily subsidized by the federal government. Each taxpaying family in America contributes $700 in taxes annually to support federal farm subsidies. Taxpayers also subsidize the U.S. Commodity Credit Corporation which extends credit to the Soviets for their grain purchases. Taxpayers provide huge federal export subsidies to large U.S. corporations for making grain available to the Reds at discount. Under the Department of Agriculture's Export Enhancement Program, the Soviets buy U.S. grain for LESS THAN IT COSTS TO PRODUCE. In late 1988, the U.S. awarded the Soviets a new two-year grain contract. This particular swindle will cost American taxpayers an estimated $46.2 million dollars. One news source reported: "But no one seems able to account for how the Russians pay for their grain imports. In Washington, the question whether, and how, the Russians pay is considered to be 'privileged information'. If these transactions were normal business deals, then surely the answer to the question, 'On what terms are they conducted?' would not be considered a matter of privilege. It is certain that the United States does not receive any direct payment for these transactions." Despite huge federal deficits, politicians never suggest that the Soviets should pay full market value for their grain. We conclude that the U.S. government is desperately anxious to feed the Soviet military machine. In order to do so, the U.S. government is "ripping off" the taxpayers and the small farmers of America. Why? Because, as Sovorov testifies, the means of producing bread is "the Achilles heel of socialism--strike at it and socialism will fall to pieces, all invasion, nationalization, and collectivization will cease." You might now ask: "Well, Hatonn, what does this have to do with Revelations, Prophecies, and the decay of a planet and the Rising of the Phoenix?" So be it--ponder your own questions most carefully. It has everything to do with it all. Read the other Phoenix Journals---look at what is happening to your world while your string pullers feed you puppets with sugar water, drugs and distractions. Americans must understand that the U.S. government will NEVER permit Soviet socialism to fall into pieces--because SOCIALISM IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE OVERALL PLAN FOR WORLD CONTROL! THEN IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY FALL TO THE FEW GREY MEN WHO CONTROL THE PURSE STRINGS. Topic: FINANCIAL ROOTS OF POWER - Chap 13 Since this portion is basically regarding the Russias, I shall only sidetrack to point out a few parallel facts. The U.S. has basically provided for the founding of Israel. Well, the U.S. financed the Bolshevik Revolution---financed and directed it---from right in the U.S. That was in 1917 and it has never changed. President Woodrow Wilson contributed $20 million to the Bolshevik cause from the Special War Fund set aside by Congress for World War I. Wall Street financier, Jacob Schiff, financially aligned with the world's wealthiest families--including Rothschilds, Harrimans and Rockefellers (remember who these people are and where they fit into the Grey Men structure) contributed at least $20 million dollars to the revolution. Back in those good old days $20 million dollars was a very great deal of money. International financier, J.P. Morgan, who by the turn of the century wielded monopoly control of banking and industry in the U.S., donated a million dollars personally to the Communists in Russia. Britisher, Lord Alfred Milner, representing the core of political-economic power in Europe, was personally in Russia during the revolution to assist the Bolsheviks in obtaining weapons. Milner contributed a reported twenty-one million rubles to the Marxist cause. American businessmen and government officials provided diplomatic and financial assistance to V.I. Lenin and his Bolshevik revolutionaries through these corporate entities: AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION -- J.P. Morgan W.A. HARRIMAN COMPANY-- Harriman family CHASE NATIONAL BANK (Chase Manhattan)--Rockefeller/Morgan FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK--privately owned FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD--controls U.S. banking and credit GUARANTY TRUST COMPANY--Harriman/J.P.Morgan NATIONAL CITY BANK--Rockefeller BY GOLLY, I WANT ALL OF YOU TO PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE READING THIS TO TAKE NOTE THAT J.P. MORGAN WAS THE ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION OF NIKOLA TESLA! SOMETIMES GOD GETS ANGRY! Lenin seized gold "in purest gangster style by armed parties" not unlike your own circumstance some time back. He took it from Russian banks and from Russian citizens. He used this stolen gold to create Ruskombank, the first official Soviet central bank. J.P. Morgan's Wall Street firm, Guaranty Trust Company, became Lenin's fiscal agent in the U.S. Guaranty Trust (still today at the apex of U.S. corporate power) operated the foreign branch of Lenin's Ruskombank. Now watch the sleight of hand and exchange tactics. Immediately after the revolution, Lenin placed large deposits of gold with Guaranty Trust and with other U.S. banks owned by American capitalists who had financed the Bolshevik Revolution. Lenin also handed his wealthy mentors monopoly concessions on oil, minerals and other raw materials in Russia. Lenin's terrorist police (Cheka) consolidated totalitarian power in Russia by pulling the skin off the bones of their victims hands like a glove; rolling naked people in spiked barrels and putting others into coffins with decomposing corpses; applying red-hot five-pointed stars to the foreheads and crowning priests with wreaths of barbed wire; amputating limbs with saws; crucifying, scalping, dismembering and roasting alive the proletariat. (Now would you say that these ones sound like good old Satanists? They certainly do to me!) Meanwhile back at the U.S. Ranch, Mr. Wilson and other U.S. officials were providing Lenin with weapons and secret military assistance. The Rockefeller family, having made a deal with Lenin to buy oil-rich property in the Caucasus, arranged for the Bolsheviks a loan of $750 million. Communist tyranny was well funded. Lenin's successor, Joseph Stalin, deliberately starved to death nine million Ukrainian peasants and condemned tens of millions of political prisoners to confinement and torture in death camps. Meantime, American firms--including DuPont, Ingersoll Rand, IBM, Westinghouse, U.S. Steel Corporation, U.S. Rubber, General Electric, Guaranty Trust, New York Life, International Harvester and Vacuum Oil--provided the financial and industrial foundations of Stalin's power. Stalin's genocidal regime was merely a FRONT for a megalithic Wall Street syndicate which included Jacob Schiff's Kuhn Loeb Company of New York. Kuhn Loeb financed Stalin's first Five-Year Plan. ARE ANY OF YOU READERS GETTING MAD YET? YOU SHOULD BE MAD AS HELL AND UNWILLING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE! Today the Soviets, the Communist Chinese and all of their puppet minions are COMPLETELY DEPENDENT for military and industrial development upon the world's most powerful corporate capitalists. These wealthy businessmen have created an international network of banks and government agencies which undergird Communist power by providing credit, bank bailouts and below-market loans, many of which are guaranteed by American and European taxpayers. This financial network is an umbilical cord through which Western capitalists nourish their avaricious Red fetus. The umbilical cord includes: WORLD BANK/INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY--United Nations. INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND--United Nations. BANK OF INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS--(Swiss) apex of network. U.S. EXPORT-IMPORT BANK--loans guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers. CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, BANK OF AMERICA, IRVING TRUST CO., MANUFACTURERS HANOVER, CHEMICAL BANK, LAZARD BROTHERS and hundreds of other U.S., Canadian and European Banks. Does it now make sense to you why there was no interruption in the business with China and why there are multitudes of private meetings which you will NEVER hear about? Further, AM I TELLING YOU IN ENOUGH WAYS AND ENOUGH TIMES TO CAUSE YOU TO TAKE NOTICE THAT THIS IS TRUTH? CHECK IT ALL FOR YOURSELVES---AT THE END OF THIS JOURNAL I SHALL TELL YOU WHERE YOU CAN GET ALL THE REFERENCES FOR PROOF! I HONOR THE ONES WHO HAVE RESEARCHED AND BROUGHT FORTH DOCUMENTS AND PROOF OF THESE HEINOUS ACTIVITIES. YOU ARE A BLESSED AND HOLY LAND AND YOU HAVE BEEN CORRUPTED IN A MOST TERRIBLE MANNER. THIS IS A BLATANT SIGN OF THE TIMES OF THE REVELATIONS. YOU NEED NO MORE DECIPHERING OF THE OLD PROPHECIES---YOU NEED TO FUNCTION IN THOSE THAT HAVE NOW COME TO BE IN YOUR PRESENT! The Soviets and their puppet governments throughout the world owe Western banks and governments over ONE HUNDRED THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS. THIS DEBT INCREASES BY AT LEAST TWO BILLION DOLLARS PER MONTH. If the Communists pulled a calculated default, they could collapse the global monetary system. So they blackmail the West into new below-market loans which cost the lenders (U.S. taxpayers) very large sums of money indeed. Oh, it is part of the plan but you as citizens do not know it and the guillotine is not yet planned to crash down on you---but very, very soon it is. In 1988, the Soviets, nudged on by their capitalist partners, boldly demanded revision of existing limits on Export-Import Bank guarantees for loans to the Soviet Union. This would allow the Soviets UNLIMITED GUARANTEES that if they default on their payments to large U.S. corporations for purchase of goods and services, the U.S. taxpayers will step in and pay the debt. David Rockefeller is scion of one of the Wall Street families which originally sponsored the Soviet experiment. The Rockefeller family is worth at least 2 billion dollars. As chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, David Rockefeller addressed a Trade and Economic Council meeting in Moscow in 1987. He said: "As early as 1924, accounts for both the Bank for Foreign Trade of the U.S.S.R. and the State Bank of the U.S.S.R. were opened at the Chase Bank. In agreement to help finance the Kama River Truck Foundry--the largest in the world." (Kama later manufactured assault vehicles used for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.) "We were also privileged in 1973 to open our representative office in Moscow. Over the past several decades, we have witnessed many ups and downs in relations between our two countries. . .Through it all, those who are primarily concerned with commerce, finance, and industry have sought to maintain economic ties that are mutually rewarding." Sovietologist, Richard Pipes, of Harvard, a former director of East European and Soviet Affairs (National Security Council), explains the capitalist-Communist partnership: "The most unabashed voice in the West favoring accommodation with the Soviet Union . . . belongs to the business community. On the face of it, pro-Soviet sympathies on the part of a group that the Soviet Union is committed to destroying may seem absurd, but it is a fact that only serves to emphasize the elitist character of the Soviet leadership and the affinities that elites feel for each other, notwithstanding ideological or national differences. The workers of all countries have never united as effectively as have their ruling elites, which constitute the only true international." World renowned historian, Dr. Antony C. Sutton, agrees: "One of the most pervasive--but downright erroneous--themes in modern textbook history is that of a competition between Capitalist and Marxist systems. In fact, given objective examination of all facts, nothing could be further from the truth. The two political power groups cooperate with each other, nurture each other and in general are jointly responsible for much of the pain and suffering of the average man on the street in this world. "Much of the confusion stems from an unwillingness to define monopoly ycapitalism for what it is: a political power system that is much like state socialism. Thus, a Brezhnev or Gorbachev and a Rockefeller have much in common. Both are monopolists and both thrive on use of political power to retain their monopoly." Brothers, megacorporations have no problem operating within totalitarian nations. Totalitarianism provides megacapitalists with two commodities they love most: MAXIMUM PROFITS AND ZERO COMPETITION! The little Russian brother on the street is actually in the very same predicament as are you. Let me just outline the deal briefly: THE SOVIETS HELP THE CAPITALISTS MAXIMIZE PROFITS AND THE CAPITALISTS HELP THE SOVIETS MAINTAIN TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT MR. BUSH WAS NOT ELATED AND HOPPING UP AND DOWN IN GLEE WHEN THE BERLIN WALL BECAME OVERWHELMED AND CRASHED DOWN---YOU HAD NOT DONE YOUR JOB WELL ENOUGH AND MR. BUSH IS THE BIG CHEESE HONCHO OF THIS "DEAL". Dharma, let us have a break for rest and then we shall cover "THE DEAL". I am sorry to give you all this mass of work but it must be done, chela, and my appreciation is very unlimited. I now move to stand-by. Please summon me when you are ready to continue. HATONN TO OUT, PLEASE. For copies of THE PLAN Independent Research Associates Box 2013 Hayden, Idaho 83835 Topic: CHAPTER 14 From: REC #2 HATONN Date: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1989 1:00 P.M. YEAR 3, DAY 128 Hatonn present to resume. Thank you. Topic: THE BARGAIN - Chap 14 Like the monopoly capitalists of the West, the monopoly socialists of the Soviet Bloc enjoy IMMENSE WEALTH. The Soviet elite, known collectively as the nomenklatura, includes about three million persons. The nomenklatura operates at top levels, the triad of Soviet power: the Communist Party, the military/GRU and the secret police (KGB). The nomenklatura owns all the wealth in the Soviet sphere. Michael Voslensky, a former high-ranking Soviet official, observed that liquidating private property and turning it into socialist property was merely a transfer of all the country's wealth to the new ruling class, the nomenklatura. ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 10 <<================ Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 611 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 10 <<============================= Nomenklaturst leaders, including Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev, live like the richest American millionaires. They are provided every conceivable luxury, convenience and privilege at state expense. In addition to handsome salaries, they maintain an open account at the State Bank from which they may draw unlimited public funds for their private use. The nomenklatura has little contact with the hundreds of millions of common people of the Soviet Bloc nations. According to Voslensky, the nomenklaturist spends his life "without ever coming into contact with the Soviet people whom he is supposed to be serving". This is possible because the nomenklatura have erected a rigid system of apartheid (based on class and rank). The common man is barred from nomenklatura restaurants, hospitals, schools, universities, resorts, etc. Topic: TERROR + GENOCIDE = POWER + PROFIT - Chap 14 Professor Richard Pipes reminds you: "It is known that numerous terrorist movements receive training in Communist Bloc countries. Terrorist gangs operating in diverse parts of the world have formed under the aegis of the KGB something like an international network whose members shift from country to country, as opportunities for their bloody work present themselves. The possibility of systematic, large-scale terrorism within the United States, controlled by Moscow, cannot be ignored." Since 1917, the Communists and their capitalist backers have successfully used revolution and terrorism to brutalize into subservience fifty-six nations comprising thirty-six percent of the world's population. Heading the international clique of megacapitalists who have shamelessly built the Soviet empire on the rotting corpses of millions is Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum. Named for the arm-and-hammer symbol of revolution, Hammer epitomizes the grotesque partnership between rich Western capitalists and the Soviet nomenklatura. Said to be worth $180 million, Hammer has been skulking in the background whenever Mikhail Gorbachev was shown on TV during the earlier of his two 1988 visits to the U.S. This was apropos since Hammer's father helped found the American Communist Party (before he went to prison for committing manslaughter during a botched abortion). Armand was employed by Lenin to help build Soviet industry. The U.S. State Department noted in 1932 that Armand was an espionage agent for Stalin. Today, at age 90, this "one-man bridge to Moscow" circles the globe, skillfully interweaving the ambitions of European aristocracy, Western politicians and corporate leaders with the designs of the Kremlin elite. Oh Hatonn, there cannot be very many companies involved or we would have heard about it! Is that what you are thinking? How about just a partial list of some companies you might recognize: Acme Manufacturing, Aetna Standard Company, Alcoa, Alliance Tool and Die, Allis-Chalmers, American Can, American Express, American Motors, Armco Steel, Baldwin Locomotives, Bell Telephone, Bendix, Boeing Company, Bechtel, Bryant Chucking Grinder Co., Bunge Corporation, Cargill, Caterpillar, University of Chicago, Consolidated Aircraft, Consolidated Edison, Corning Glass, Cummins Engine, Curtiss-Wright, Clark Equipment, Coca Cola, Continental Grain, John Deere Co., Dow Chemical, Douglas Aircraft, Equitable Trust Company, E.I.

Averell Harriman, Hercules Motor Company, Hewlett Packard, Honeywell Controls, Hughes Tool, International Telephone and Telegraph, Ingersoll Rand, International Harvester, Hooker, International Business Machines, Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical, Lockheed, Lummus Corp., McKee Corporation, Monsanto, Mack Trucks, Occidental Petroleum, Olivetti, Pepsi Company, Raycon Corp., Raytheon, RCA, Remington Rand, Rockwell International, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of New York, Singer Company, Sperry Rand, Stauffer Chemical Co., Swindell-Dressler, Tenneco, Texas Eastern Transmission, Union Carbide, Union Switch and Signal Co., United Aircraft Corp., U.S. Steel, Universal Oil Products, Univac, Westinghouse Electric, Xerox Corp. "Well", you might ask, "what is wrong with doing business?" Nothing--these are just companies whose boards of directors and top executives find it most rewarding to finance and/or supply Communist Bloc nations (and thus their terrorist networks). The problem is that it is kept secret from you, the taxpayers, and you benefit nothing except possibly you might get personally involved in a terrorist plot and end up dead by your own "made in the U.S.A. bullets, etc". The fact is that you are not intended to know these things and all the while the government is lying to you and claiming to be deadly enemies---this is what is going on instead. Perhaps the following can help you understand the problem: Topic: THE RACKET - Chap 14 Between 1961-1973, the U.S. government sent 2.5 million Americans (your sons, lovers, fathers and husbands or daughters, lovers, mothers and wives) to a war zone called Vietnam. Of these, 47,244 were killed in action, 10,446 died of accidents and disease, and 303,704 were wounded. That war cost Americans 22 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR! U.S. troops and millions of South Vietnamese ultimately left Vietnam in panic, fleeing before the Communists. No one can fully comprehend the physical and psychological damage still suffered by the survivors of the Vietnam horror which bankrupted America and marked the beginning of her strategic decline. During the war, U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird reported: "About 75 percent of the supplies, equipment, and support for the enemy (in Vietnam) comes from the Soviet Union and the Eastern satellites, and the remaining 25 percent from Red China." Here is the punch-line---throughout the war, U.S. corporations supplied the Soviets with cash, credit, industrial technology, machinery and equipment absolutely vital to the Soviet military machine. According to the Constitution, giving aid to the enemy is TREASON. Yet Corporate America was ENCOURAGED by the U.S. government to supply the Soviets. Five bloody years into the war, the U.S. State Department issued a declaration that any American businessman trading with the Soviet Union or European countries would be "acting within his rights and following the policy of his government". This declaration announced that persons or organizations OPPOSING such trade would be "acting against the interests of the United States". Wait a minute, I didn't make these rules--you did, I am just telling you about them. Among American blood vendors was a company called Gleason Corporation of New York, which supplied equipment for the Gorki industrial complex (originally built by Ford Motor Company). At Gorki, the Soviets produced military vehicles and equipment used against the American troops in Vietnam. The Gleason Corporation always advertises in the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council Journal. This company makes precision gears which the Soviets cannot get elsewhere. The company celebrates the fact that Gleason has provided the Soviets with industrial assistance since Lenin turned Russia into a totalitarian gulag. Topic: WHAT NEXT? AFGHANISTAN - Chap 14 After America got burned out on sending its kids to die for nothing in a hell-hole jungle, the war people looked to new horizons for the most valuable of commodities: cannon fodder. They turned their eyes to the beautiful people of Afghanistan. It was actually during the 1960s that the U.S. government and Corporate America prepared the groundwork for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, with assistance from the United Nations, constructed 300 miles of double-lane highway through Afhganistan. This highway connected to another built by the Soviets through the U.S.S.R. to the Afghan border. In 1972, Soviet proxies were still killing American soldiers in Vietnam. That year, Richard Nixon, the U.S. Commerce Department, Chase Manhattan Bank, the Export-Import Bank and forty U.S. corporations--including Gulf and Western Industries, Honeywell, Ingersoll Milling Machine Company, Swindell-Dressler, IBM and Westinghouse--arranged for the construction of the Kama River industrial complex, one of the largest in the U.S.S.R. Here the Soviets produced assault vehicles and armored personnel carriers for their 1979 Afghanistan invasion. In 1980, Business Week reported that Ingersoll Rand of New Jersey was delivering to the Soviets 8.8 million dollars worth of equipment for the Kama River plant, even though U.S. officials were well aware that Kama had "produced trucks used in the invasion of Afghanistan". Ingersoll Rand has tacitly endorsed mass genocide since 1918, when the company's chairman, William Saunders, wrote to Woodrow Wilson: "I am in sympathy with the Soviet form of government as the best suited for the Russian people." The Soviet form of government is also best suited for imperialism, war and revolution which engender huge profits for the Western multinational banks and corporations supplying the Soviet military machine. While Soviet troops mutilated, tortured, gassed, bombed, napalmed, burned and starved the peasants of Afghanistan, the U.S. government provided the Soviet-backed puppet dictator of Afghanistan most-favored-nation trade privileges. U.S. corporations raked in multi-millions by providing the Soviet puppet government in Kabul with aircraft components, chemical products and engine parts for its scorched-earth campaign. Topic: AND SLAVES TOO! - Chap 14 The Soviets ran a full-page ad in Wall Street Journal (Aug. 24, 1987) announcing that Soviet head gangster Mikhail Gorbachev is recruiting new U.S. corporations to come on board for profitable deals and joint ventures in KGB-land. Numerous corporate executives like Dwayne Andreas are already involved in lucrative commercial joint ventures with the Soviets. Under the direction of the U.S. Commerce Department, Western megacorporations are setting up scores of new industrial and agricultural projects within the Soviet Union. Western capitalists may own 49% of these Soviet socialist monopolies. And guess where the start-up money, etc. will flow from. Capitalist-Communist ventures behind the Iron Curtain are especially profitable because labor is cheap! A tribunal set up by the International Commission on Human Rights, the International Society for Human Rights and the International Sakharov Committee reported in 1982: "We find the U.S.S.R. continues the deplorable practice of using forced labor in manufacturing and construction projects including the Siberian Gas pipeline." Do you now understand why Sakharov had to be killed? He was about to spill the entire load to the international press with all that new openness. Mr. Gorbachev was told to "silence him". A 390-page document commissioned by the Research Center for Prisons, Psychoprisons and Forced-Labor Concentration Camps of the U.S.S.R. lists many of the 2,000 Soviet slave labor camps and prisons. This study was organized by Jewish dissident Avraham Shifrin who, as a Soviet political prisoner, made contacts for obtaining documentation on the Soviet penal system. Shifrin estimates that, since 1917, sixty million human beings have died in Soviet labor camps. He explains: "Every day, thousands of prisoners are routed through Moscow, a central transit point in the Soviet penal system, for destinations in other parts of the country. The routing usually occurs at night. The inmates are taken from their temporary prisons to the trains, and then from their transit cells in the basements of Moscow's railroad stations to their final place of servitude. Five to six thousand prisoners a day await transfer in the huge transit prison, 'Presnya'. Authorities of the 'Presnya' are known for their depravity, tyranny, and cruelty." Estimating the average detention time at five years and the maximum percentage of repeaters at 20 to 25 percent, a total of nearly a third of the country has gone through the camps. The high criminal percentage is artificially maintained by the state for primarily economic reasons. This does not mean that the government promotes crime but that it suddenly takes notice of an exceptional number of supposed criminals--"parasites", "hooligans", and "vagabonds"--in Soviet society whenever it needs to resort to mass arrests to augment the labor supply for camp labor is inherently necessary to the sagging edifice of Soviet production. This is why Cuba and Vietnam pay part of their debts to the U.S.S.R. by sending it forced-labor contingents, just as in ancient times a conquered people's tribute to the victor had to include a certain number of slaves. If general amnesty was suddenly decreed, it would trigger an economic catastrophe. You can get arrested and convicted on a pure whim--which is also happening right in the good old U.S.A. Thousands of women prisoners, including nursing mothers, and also children, are forced to do exhausting and dangerous work in Soviet labor camps. Shifrin reports:. "An eyewitness who has been to the camps in Novosibirsk for reasons connected with her work, reports that club-carrying supervisors (officially called "educators") roaming about the camp grounds subject the young prisoners (aged 10 to 18) to merciless beatings. In addition, the younger boys must also suffer the harassments of older inmates--stolen food rations, sexual abuses (homosexuality is rampant), pressures to perform involuntary favors, etc. Otherwise, the boys are assigned to hard labor projects." What have these millions of "criminals" in the U.S.S.R. done to incite the wrath of their Soviet masters? Shifrin says: "We are speaking of innocent human beings persecuted for thinking differently; reading 'forbidden' philosophical, political or religious books; posting up notices; putting up a flag; demanding religious instruction for their children; or undertaking a private commercial initiative. These are the 'crimes' for which a Soviet citizen can be imprisoned." Religious dissidents have the hardest time of all Soviet slaves. They are often placed in what Shifrin calls "extermination camps" where few come out alive. They are forced to work with asbestos, or to labor unprotected in uranium mines, or to perform high-risk duties in nuclear plants or to operate equipment that produces toxic fumes. In addition, says Shifrin: "Psychiatric hospitals, as well as penal facilities officially designated as prisons are maintained by the authorities in Moscow to punish independently-minded or religious citizens. "Mentally healthy human beings are administered heavy doses of neuroleptic drugs. Recalcitrant inmates are held bound for hours or even days in a wet strait jacket. Once the strait jacket dries, the victim's body becomes compressed as in a vice. Prisoners, moreover, are beaten by so-called hospital attendants, who in fact are criminals, and subjected to electric shocks." The following is a recollection of Sergei Kourdakov, who, until his defection from Russia, led KGB raids on Christians there: "Inside, fifteen startled people on their knees, praying and singing, looked up in utter disbelief. They knew what was happening and their faces were filled with a mixture of surprise and fear. "I shouted, `You're praying to empty air. Where's your God now? Let Him help you now!' We shoved and pushed, getting warmed up to the attack. "Vladimir grabbed an old man, smashed him in the face, and sent him screaming across the room to tumble on the floor in a pool of blood.... The Believers who could stay clear of us rushed about the room trying to hide their Bibles and literature.... Uri picked up an old woman, grabbed her long, gray hair, pulled her head back, and struck her across the throat with a karate chop. Without a sound the old woman crumpled to the floor.... The young men were beaten until their faces were a bloody pulp. Most of the bones of their faces were broken. "Meanwhile, Sergei Kanonenko had used his knife on a couple of the women, and they were screaming and holding their sides." In 1982 Shifrin wrote: "To our great distress, we have ascertained that in 1981 the authorities in the U.S.S.R. have sharply increased arrests, persecutions, and intimidation of dissidents, religious persons, and those attempting to emigrate from the U.S.S.R. We know of many cases of beatings and murders of both clergy and those who simply believe in God." Topic: CONCENTRATION CAMPS - Chap 14 The millions of people in Soviet concentration camps are not alone in their suffering and deprivation. Michael Voslensky, who, before his defection held high bureaucratic and academic posts in the U.S.S.R., testifies that the entire population of the Soviet Block--including Eastern Europe--suffers bleak poverty in a "system of extraeconomic compulsory labor as in the age of slavery or feudalism". Richard Pipes notes that a Soviet soldier is paid four rubles per month--approximately five dollars:. "Since this is as much as no pay, the bulk of the Soviet Army may be said to consist of temporarily bonded serfs." The nomenklatura goes to extraordinary lengths to prevent its slaves from emigrating en masse. According to Paragraph 64 of the Soviet Penal Code, escape abroad and refusal to return to the Soviet "paradise" constitute high treason. The KGB will track an escapee for years in order to execute him. Voslensky describes the thousands of miles of bolts and bars along the Soviet frontier as a "ring fence around a huge concentration camp". He says this barrier includes: --barbed wire strips five yards wide, with low voltage electric current alarms activated by the slightest movement. --secondary zones laced with concealed spider web steel loops which tighten the more a victim struggles. --a tertiary no-man's land patrolled by dogs and by guards who can expect a medal for machine-gunning fugitives in the back. Affirming that the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was subsidized by Western capitalists, Voslensky says the Soviets are now in partnership with large Western corporations to consolidate "maximum extension of their power" and to obtain "the production of arms and the latest technical equipment for the police". Russian dissident Vladimir Bukovsky found that the handcuffs which bound him in a Soviet prison were stamped with an American trademark. He correctly deduced that the West has supplied the Soviets--both literally and figuratively--with the chains holding the Soviet peoples in bondage. The economically stagnant Soviet empire would collapse without forced labor. The Soviet slave system must continue despite "glasnost" and "perestroika"--those hollow propaganda phrases used by Soviet slavers and their public relations specialists to seduce the West into new and treacherous deals. I see that you want to argue with me--well, you tell me about those 4,600 bodies in the mass grave in Romania TODAY. AND THAT IS ONLY ONE SUCH GRAVE. Topic: SPEAK OF COLLUSION - Chap 14 Russian defector Tomas Schuman says of the Soviet elite: "They are not government--they don't govern anything--they are a bunch of self-imposed dictators, very dangerous criminals, and they are unwanted in my country, and the worst thing you Americans can do to my country, to 270 or more million citizens of the U.S.S.R., is to keep on negotiating with their oppressors." In April 1987, Jim Wright, speaker of the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress, traveled to the Soviet Union where he appeared on Soviet television. Wright read this script to the inmates of the Soviet Bloc: "I am here, along with twenty lawmakers of my country, at the invitation of your Secretary General, Mikhail Gorbachev. We have met with Mr. Gorbachev and other members of your government. We have been impressed by the sincerity of Mr. Gorbachev, by his desire to turn over a new leaf in the book of our relationship, and by his commitments to a better world for all of us and for our children--Soviet children and American children." It should be noted here that Mikhail Gorbachev and other members of the Soviet Communist Party especially love the children of Afghanistan. On October 10, 1985--in the SAME issue outlining the U.S.-Soviet education merger--a New York Times editorial reported "deliberate crippling of children by Soviet invaders in Afghanistan". "The evil...lies exposed in a report to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights... "The report asserts: `The most horrible type of incident was that caused by the explosion of anti-personnel mines and especially of children's toys. Many witnesses testified that children had been very seriously wounded, having their hands or feet blown off, either by handling booby-trap toys they had picked up along the roadway, or by stepping on them. "The types of booby-trap toys encountered include those resembling pens, harmonicas, radios and little bombs shaped like a bird. This type of bomb, consisting of two wings, one flexible and the other rigid, in the shape and colors of a bird, explodes when the flexible wing is touched." Now for a bit more of Jim Wright's speech: "Both of our countries were born in revolution. Both strive--in different ways--to achieve a better life for our people. Our two great countries have never been at war against each other. "If you will write me a little note and tell me that you saw this program, I would like to send you one of these little pins that I am wearing in my lapel. It contains small replicas of the flags of our two nations flying side by side." And that is exactly what the pin is--the American and Russian flags crossed and united. The Stars and Stripes are intertwined with the Soviet Red--complete with its hammer and sickle, a symbol of human suffering and mass genocide for over 70 years. Tens of thousands of Americans died in Vietnam because of the red flag with the hammer and sickle. Well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION innocent human beings in the U.S.S.R. and over ONE MILLION in Afghanistan have been MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD by the dictatorship this symbol represents. Millions more, including Americans, will yet be sacrificed to the Soviet goal of global domination--you can count on it. I SUGGEST YOU GET YOUR SURVIVAL SHELTERS UNDER WAY POST-HASTE. You will be seeing these flags side by side as you move along here. It symbolizes the linkage of the U.S. with the Soviet Bloc under a single global governing authority. It is a sad day indeed, my friends. Topic: FACTS TO ASTOUND EVEN THE HARDENED - Chap 14 There have been tens of thousands of hours spent investigating the master plan for merging the U.S. with the Soviet Union---BY THE YEAR 2000! Research should solidly convince you that there is an INTERNATIONAL COALITION of families and individuals--who own and/or control a global network of banks, corporations and tax-exempt foundations--and who have accumulated wealth so massive that they have bought themselves control of the economic and political affairs of every nation on earth. In quiet cooperation, the powermongers operate--for their own purposes--the governments of both the "democratic" and totalitarian nations. This coalition of billionaires has been a global power for at least a century. Back in 1913, your President Woodrow Wilson wrote: "Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." The late Dr. Carroll Quigley, renowned scholar and professor of history at Georgetown University, Harvard and Princeton, published 1,600 pages documenting the existence of this tightly-knit Cartel. He conceded that many generations ago, this consortium of super-wealthy families set about to create a: "World system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences." Dr. Quigley also wrote of the Cartel: "I know of the generations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies---but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known." Quigley identified this secret combination as a "very real power structure" which the "Radical Right in the U.S. has been attacking for years in the belief that they are attacking the Communists." He further explained: "There does exist an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists--and frequently does so." Senator Jesse Helms has accurately identified the Cartel's basic world view which calls for: ". . an ultimate convergence, or merging, of the United States and the Soviet Union, into a common culture, economy, philosophy and despotism." This is how blatantly open it has become, however. The Cartel has recently published detailed strategies for cinching up its existing eco-political power into a virtual global dictatorship. Backed by billions of dollars, the Cartel has already created the foundations of a world governing authority which will complete the U.S.-Soviet merger with dictatorial precision. This governing authority is slated to become so powerful that all citizens of the world will be subjugated to its absolute dictates. Cartel spokesmen consistently label the evolving system "world order". These beloved investigators call it "THE PLAN" and I honor them and shall refer to it by that label. I urge you to obtain their information and will give you information for its source at the end of this journal. Dharma, you are most fatigued and have not had nourishment this day. Let us leave this now. It is, however, most imperative that we not lag in this task--knowledge shall be man's one great asset. Man has to know the problem before he can formulate a solution. I move to stand-by. HATONN OUT, SALU. Topic: CHAPTER 15 From: REC #1 HATONN Date: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1989 8:00 A.M.

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 627 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 11 <<============================= Topic: THE MASTER SCHEMERS - Chap 15 There are several master theoreticians for that which is called the "world order" movement. Let us see that which they project. I am Hatonn to sit with you and reason together. Saul Mendlovitz is a leading theoretician regarding this theory. He has stated: "I am arguing for a new governance or alternative institutions to those now responsible for global concert. It could easily be the U.N. with binding decision-making power. People will be demanding a central guidance system; it means a governance is about to come into being in which the policy elites in various nation states who have the authority and the capacity to make decisions, will not longer solely have that as their prerogative. There will be a governance that will say you can't build an army any more. You must give a certain amount of your economic income to other areas of the world." Another world order specialist is Richard Falk, a professor of international law at Princeton University. Falk has helped design strategies for bringing the United States under jurisdiction of a coercive global governing authority. We shall quote Richard Falk a lot as we move along through these pages. Mr. Falk is a director of the World Order Models Project (WOMP), a world order think tank in New York City. Affiliated with the World Order Institute, WOMP is funded by two giants within the Cartel's tax-exempt foundation complex: Rockefeller Foundation and Carnegie Endowment for World Peace. It is significant that early trustees of the Carnegie Endowment included wealthy Wall Street moguls who backed the Bolshevik Revolution. Richard Falk specifies the target date for completion of the Cartel's basic global governing authority: "We should like to bring the new system into being by the year 2000, or shortly thereafter. In essence we anticipate the centralized administration of many realms of human activity--health, environmental protection, money, business operations, ocean and space use, disarmament, disaster relief, peace-keeping and peaceful settlement, and resource conservation." THIS SHOULD BEGIN TO GIVE YOU QUESTIONERS OF DATES SOMETHING TO SERIOUSLY PONDER. Harlan Cleveland, a director of the Cartel's Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies, has further described the awesome power for which the Cartel is reaching. He said: "There is a long agenda of creative effort just ahead, a complex agenda of international action which some of us have been calling The Planetary Bargain. We, the people of the world community, will need to create a food reserve, to assure energy supplies, to depress fertility rates, to stabilize commodity markets, to protect the global environment, to manage the ocean and its deep seabed, to control the modification of weather at human command, to rewrite the rules of trade and investment, to reform the monetary system, to mediate disputes, to reduce the costs of military stalemates, to manage conflict in a world of proliferating weapons, and to keep the peace when it is broken. Taking it all together, this agenda amounts to a third try at world order--the League of Nations having died, and the United Nations unable in its present condition to cope." DEAR ONES, REALLY CAREFULLY READ THESE WORDS. ON THE SURFACE THEY SOUND WONDROUSLY MARVELOUS. THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TRUTH SET FORTH TO MISLEAD AND MISGUIDE---REALLY SEE WHAT IS SAID AND COMPREHEND THE MAGNITUDE OF SUCH PROJECTIONS. AND ALWAYS---LOOK TO THE RESOURCE BEHIND THE INSTITUTES---WHO PAYS THE BILLS? THE ONES WHO CONTROL YOUR VERY EXISTENCE ON THAT PLACEMENT!!!!!! Richard Falk admits that some of the planners working with the World Order Models Project to prepare the foundation of world government are agents of the Soviet Union and Communist China. He is also candid about the eco-political structure of the Cartel's evolving global system. He writes: "This transnational group of scholars, therefore, is committed to the search for peace with equity and seeks to evolve a globalist ideology that draws on socialism to depict a humane set of economic relationships based on societal well being." So you learn on good authority that the world government is to be a SOCIALIST entity. The Soviet Communist Party helps you to understand America's future with this definition of socialism: "Socialism is a social system under which, as a result of the socialist revolution and the consolidation of the dictatorship of the proletariat, private ownership of the means of production is abolished, social, socialist ownership is established as the basis of society, and the exploiting classes are eliminated. Manufactured products are distributed according to the work in line with the principle: He who does not work, does not eat. Socialism is the first phase of Communism." ALL THIS AT FIRST GLANCE LOOKS REALLY GOOD. BUT WHO IS AT THE TOP PULLING THE STRINGS AND MAKING THE DECISIONS? DO YOU HAVE A FAIR GOD WHO IS ALWAYS JUST OR DO YOU HAVE "MEN" WHO ARE EVIL? FREEDOM IS A WONDROUS THING INDEED, AND ONCE IT IS GONE IT IS MOST DIFFICULT TO RECOVER----AS YOU ONES ARE GOING TO FIND OUT VERY QUICKLY! Webster's New World Dictionary reports that the founder of modern socialism was German political economist, Karl Heinrich Marx (1818-1883). The term socialism is often used interchangeably with the term Marxism. Marx, as a paid agent, wrote the Communist Manifesto, a blueprint for global socialist dictatorship. The Manifesto calls for violent revolution resulting in: Abolition of all religion and morality. Abolition of private property and right of inheritance. Government control of education and communication. Establishment of a heavy graduated income tax. Creation of Industrial armies (forced labor). Government monopoly on all production, i.e., manufacturing, banking, transportation, agriculture, etc. DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? IF IT DOES NOT--THEN GO GET THE PHOENIX JOURNALS. THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING. YOU CAN KEEP THAT WHICH IS YOURS A BIT LONGER BY INCORPORATION IF YOU CAN KEEP SECRET THE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR CORPORATION AND THE ONLY PLACE LEFT IN THE U.S. IS NEVADA. I WARN YOU---THEY WILL TAKE YOUR INHERITANCE AND ALL YOUR ASSETS BEFORE THEY ARE DONE AND THEY PLAN TO BE FINISHED BY YEAR 2000! YOU HAVE, IT APPEARS, LESS THAN TEN YEARS AT BEST TO GET YOUR ASSETS COVERED! SO BE IT. The Manifesto demands annihilation of the middle-class owner of property (bourgeois) who "must be swept out of the way and made impossible to exist". The Manifesto does not demand the annihilation of the super-rich class. In fact, the Manifesto expresses empathy with the European aristocracy. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE IN THE SUPER-RICH CLASS? DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SOMETHING RIGHT OUT OF HELL? SO BE IT. The Manifesto REPEATS that the ENEMY of the Communist movement is the enterprising, profit-oriented, freedom-loving bourgeoisie. The term "bourgeoisie" is defined by Webster's New World Dictionary as that economic class: BETWEEN THE VERY WEALTHY CLASS OF IDLE RICH AND THE DRUDGERY-RIDDEN WORKING POOR! WHERE DOES THAT PLACE MOST OF YOU GOOD OLD KIDS? NO, DEAR HEARTS, THIS IS NOT SOME SILLY PLAN FOR SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEWHERE ELSE----THIS IS THE PLAN FOR YOU IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IT IS ALL BUT FINISHED! Karl Marx tried to induce the working poor (proletariat) to despise and destroy the middle class. But as Fabian socialist George Bernard Shaw pointed out, "The working man respects the bourgeois and wants to be the bourgeois; Marx never got hold of him for a moment." Historically, all socialist movements have been financed and directed by the super-rich. Why would the world's most powerful, monied cliques promote socialism? Because socialism, whether totalitarian or "democratic", stratifies citizens into TWO classes: the powerful rich nomenklature and the working poor. Socialism is a system in which the super-rich need not compete with an enterprising middle class for wealth and power, since the middle class has been annihilated by government monopoly on property and means of production. Socialism, which concentrates all wealth and power in the hands of the ruling elite, is a kickback to medieval feudalism. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT MR. BUSH IS NOT JUBILANT OVER THE BREAKING AWAY OF THE PEOPLES OF THE SOVIET BLOC IN A DIRECTION AWAY FROM SOCIALISTIC COMMUNISM? IT HAD BEEN HOPED AND PLANNED THAT WITH MR. GORBACHEV, ETC., THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PULLED OFF WHILE STILL MANAGING TO KEEP THOSE PEOPLE OF EUROPE UNDER CONTROL. HONOR YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OVER THERE WHO HAVE GIVEN IT ALL TO GET YOUR ATTENTION IN TIME-----PLEASE LET IT BE IN TIME! * * * * * SOCIALISM IS A SYSTEM OF MASTERS AND SLAVES! THIS IS WHY THE CARTEL HAS SELECTED SOCIALISM AS THE VEHICLE FOR SEIZING TOTAL GLOBAL POWER. * * * * * Topic: FURTHER DEFINING SOCIALISM - Chap 15 Igor Shafarevich, a Russian scientist and dissident residing in the U.S.S.R., identifies the central element of socialism: "Socialism is the theory of preparing and implementing revolution: it is a series of rules which must be followed in order to seize power. At the same time, it is the technology of power, the philosophy of the absolute state to which all life is subjected--i.e., SATANISM." OH GULP, OH GULP---COULD IT BE? You see, you thought those Russians practiced "Communism"--nay, nay, nay. YOU SIMPLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND "SOCIALISM"! Richard Falk concedes that it is "virtually impossible" for nations to get rid of socialist regimes once those regimes adopt a "hard orientation toward the retention of state power". But he concludes that "socialist forms of authoritarianism" are to be preferred to capitalism because "socialism seems to do better in the maintenance phase with economic rights and with those human rights concerned with avoidance of extreme abuse of the person." AH, NOW YOU SEE WHERE YOU GOT THE CONCEPTION OF SOCIALISM BEING GOOD---IT COULD, IF ONLY MAN WERE PERFECT, FAIR AND JUST! The year Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan to begin an extermination campaign there, Falk wrote that the Soviet role in the Third World has been "less widely detrimental to the pursuit of human rights than has the American role". Such is the twisted bias of those planning America's future in the socialist new world order. Topic: GLOBAL SYSTEM - Chap 15 The Cartel's global governing authority will require a massive bureaucracy which planners often refer to as a "central guidance system". WOMP's blueprint for this governing authority appears to be a refinement of the United Nations Organization, which was created by the Cartel in the first place, as a preparatory foundation for world government. Cartel patrician John Foster Dulles was leader of the delegation which met with the Soviets in San Francisco (1945) to hammer out the United Nations Charter. Dulles wrote: "The United Nations represents not a final stage in the development of world order, but only a primitive stage. Therefore, its primary task is to create the conditions which will make possible a more highly developed organization. If the principal members of the United Nations, including the Soviet Union, are willing to take part in a proposed new world organization, then the United Nations itself could quickly be made into that organization." Dharma, I pain to see the realization of the people of the lie who have passed your way and sat in judgment and persecution of you ones. It was intended that you never get these words into print for the masses. Those ones work in ignorance of the total evil that they bear upon their fellow-men. I warned you to be prepared for the pain and feeling of isolation for it had to come to be. In their simple truth they do not conceive of that which they do. When your heart is too heavy--reach out unto Little Crow for your tasks are hard and painful---but I believe it becomes obvious that you are not alone---and these other brave men do not yet understand that they have the help of we of the outer realms. Hold tightly to my hand, little sparrows, for the winds shall blow against you but the ultimate storm shall be conquered and the winds shall but thrust you up. You ones shall be given the strength to prevail and prosper. To conceal the lie they must allow you the freedom of speech a bit longer--do you see? "They" do not yet have total control and they cannot handle anarchy and you ones shall walk behind OUR SHIELDS. I HOLD THEE CLOSE. Cartel planner Richard Gardner, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and professor of law at Columbia University, brings us up to date on the development of world government: "A generation ago the central problem was to create new global institutions where none existed; today it is to get several hundred functional and regional commissions, boards, committees and secretariats to work together effectively." It is to these hundreds of international commissions, boards and secretariats that nations of the world are gradually handing the power to govern, the power to make binding decisions, the power to determine the course of human history. The most pressing problem, says Gardner, is how to "improve present arrangements for creating, adapting, interpreting and enforcing international law". So the Cartel continually inserts into the United Nations framework new and powerful intermediary groups of administrators who, behind the scenes, guide the developing global bureaucracy. Gardner notes: "While the membership explosion of the U.N. system makes it politically impossible to return completely to the old ways of doing things, the common interest of all countries in the orderly development of new rules of international law suggests that greater use of small and expert bodies should be made in the preparatory stage of law-making conferences." This year you have seen the power put forth in demonstrations for the U.N. group. When the U.S. had not paid their dues---most intentional a display indeed---the organization all but had to disband. It was a most obvious show of power and none but you of the blind, trusting, public citizens missed it. Go against the power wielder and you reap the sword of doom for your nations who rise to dispute. The world is already hostage to the evil Cartel. As the Cartel's global socialist bureaucracy becomes, incrementally, the governing power of the entire earth, all national governments will, according to Richard Falk, "wither away". In order to hasten the "withering" process, Cartel propagandists such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor under President Carter, instruct Americans that "national sovereignty" and "nationalism" are "dangerous" and "selfish" and "antiquated" concepts. National sovereignty is defined as the right of a nation to conduct domestic and foreign policy without outside interference. Such independence is absolutely inimical to socialist world order. As V.I. Lenin declared: "Marxism cannot be reconciled with nationalism even if the latter is just, irreproachable, and civilized. Marxism is moving forward ahead of every national and international idea, putting the idea of the amalgamation of all nations into a higher one." The Communist Party of the Soviet Union affirms: "Nationalism is harmful to the common interests of the socialist community and above all, the people of the country where it remains, since isolation from the socialist camp holds up that country's development, deprives it of the advantages deriving from the world socialist system." The plan to harness all nations to a global socialist governing authority would be foiled if America should insist upon the right to make its own political and economic choices. Citizens of the U.S. would be "deprived" of bowing to the ultimatums of a world dictator if they cling to the Declaration of Independence which upholds national sovereignty as the basis of personal liberty. In preparation for the plan, personal liberty must be extinguished for the "good" of the total group. World order pioneer George Bernard Shaw explained most eloquently: "We, as Socialists, have nothing to do with liberty. Our message, like Mussolini's is one of discipline and of service." Topic: WEAN THE AMERICANS FROM "LIBERTY" - Chap 15 In order to wean Americans from the concept of liberty, the Cartel has created a new document to replace the Declaration of Independence. This new document is called Declaration of INTERdependence. Written by Cartel agent Henry Steele Commager in 1975 and signed by 114 congressmen and senators in 1976, it reads: "Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order. "We affirm that the economy of all nations is a seamless web, and that no one nation can any longer effectively maintain its processes of production and monetary systems without recognizing the necessity for collaborative regulation by international authorities. "We call upon all nations to strengthen and to sustain the United Nations and its specialized agencies, and other institutions of world order, and to broaden the jurisdiction of the World Court." This militant call for world order is diametrically opposite the fierce spirit of liberty which broke the back of tyranny and swept the United States to independence 200 years ago. The Declaration of INTERdependence is the absolute antithesis of eighteenth century sentiment which inspired George Washington to admonish in his Farewell Address: "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible." The Cartel detests America's original Constitution--that venerable old document which has protected personal liberty for 200 years. Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission, calls for constitutional reform and for "a constitutional convention to re-examine the nation's formal institutional framework." Brzezinski writes: "Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief and it postulates the absolute capacity of man to truly understand his reality as a point of departure for his active endeavors to shape it. It has been Marxism that has served to stir the mind and to mobilize human energies purposefully." The Constitution, as written by the Founding Fathers, obstructs global Marxist dictatorship because it declares that government derives authority ONLY from the consent of the PEOPLE who are the supreme in power, rank and authority. (HOW MANY OF YOU "PEOPLE" GOT TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO INVADE PANAMA OR SEND BUSINESS AMBASSADORS INTO CHINA?) The Constitution is a further impediment to THE PLAN because it LIMITS POWER by dividing it among several governing entities: federal, state and local. Thomas Jefferson warned that if the federal government should become the CENTER OF ALL POWER, it would become "as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated". He expressed the basic sentiment of the Founding Fathers when he said: "The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to the one, but to divide it among the many. What has destroyed liberty and rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body." It is not difficult to imagine what Jefferson would say about entrusting ALL THE GOVERNING POWER IN THE WORLD TO THE NAMELESS, FACELESS, UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS OF THE UNITED NATIONS. The Cartel's opinion of Jefferson was articulated by Arthur Schlesinger who, as assistant to President Kennedy, called for the "gradual advance of socialism in the United States through a series of new deals". Schlesinger declared: "Jefferson is today remote and irrelevant, a figure, not of present concern, but of historical curiosity." Topic: UNCHALLENGEABLE POWER - Chap 15 The Cartel wants nothing less than unchallengeable power concentrated in a global federal government. Thus, Senator Joseph S. Clark complained on behalf of the Ford Foundation: "We have inherited from our forefathers a government structure which so divides power that effective dealing with economic problems is cumbersome. They were right in their day. But they are wrong in ours. "Surely we have reached the point where we can say Jefferson was wrong: that government is not best which governs least." The Cartel finds that America's legislative branch of government is an obstruction to unbridled executive power. Senator Clark also wrote: "I have no hesitation in stating my deep conviction that the legislatures of America, local, state and national, are presently the greatest menace to the successful operation of the democratic process. The executive should be strengthened at the expense of the legislature." That is not to say that the Cartel dislikes "democracy". Democracy--defined as a mobocracy, demagoguery and unrestrained tyranny by the manipulated majority--leads to chaos, anarchy and finally dictatorship. In a pure democracy, only the majority has a voice. The minority is crushed by the furor of prevailing passion. The minority goes unheard and unprotected. A lynch mob is pure democracy. Democracy is necessary for implementation of THE PLAN. The Founding Fathers of the Constitution were champions of the REPUBLICAN form of government which protects the rights of not only the majority, but also those of the MINORITY. Because Alexander Hamilton understood that there is NO THEORETICAL LIMIT upon the power of a majority which is determined to impose its will upon a weaker minority, he warned: "If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy (or some other form of dictatorship)." James Madison, father of the Constitution, agreed. He is famous for this commentary: "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." THIS IS WHY THE U.S. CONSTITUTION MAKES NO MENTIONS OF DEMOCRACY! IT GUARANTEES EACH OF THE STATES A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. The Cartel's socialist global authority, on the other hand, will provide what Lenin called a "complete democracy", that is, a socialist dictatorship by elites who refer to themselves as "the people". The Soviets explain: "As for socialist democracy, it is not directionless democracy, but directed democracy, i.e., democracy directed by the party and the state in the interest of the further development of socialism and the building of communism. This is stated by the Communists straightforwardly and openly." Let us allow these things to begin the process of "soaking in", Dharma. You and Oberli take a break away from this hill today--get away for a few hours. We can pick this up later today. Let there not be "fear", chela, for fear clouds the senses. There is a whole nation, nay, world of people waiting to stand with truth. Intimidation is the name of the evil game, ruled by fear. I have you closely bound in protection--now we must protect those who allowed us this opportunity. The way we do that is to get these documents circulating as quickly as is possible. Let us always keep protection of our brothers uppermost in mind. God keep you, chelas. I now move to stand-by. You never leave our care. I AM HATONN TO CLEAR CIRCUIT. OUT. Topic: CHAPTER 16 From: REC #1 HATONN Date: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1989 7:30 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 130 And the blood shall run in the streets. Brother will turn against brother and the lands shall be laid waste and the cities shall become strewn with the martyrs to freedom. There shall be unrest in every nation of your world. And it shall come to be in those days that the bitter-sweet victory shall sour within the belly for he will learn too late that he sold of his freedom and lost of his path. Man now fights for freedom---from what unto what? In Romania, for instance, the thousands of murdered shall never be known for each family with a murdered being shall think their's among the counted. The same is true in Panama. The same was true in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The elite shall tell you that which they wish you to hear. You believe that Socialism "Communism" has no elite? That all is taken from the people and shared by the state with the people? Nay, Mr. Nicolae Ceausescu has over 400 million dollars in gold in Switzerland. Now Romania "had" a population of living beings of about 23,155,000 in the approximately sized country slightly less than your New York State and the State of Pennsylvania combined--about a fourth the area of California or less. That, dear ones, is not bourgeois. Where will these hapless people turn for money to restructure in their newly found DEMOCRATIC government? They will turn to the elite groups who own your world and turn your nations into nations of democratic dictatorships just as The Plan outlines. One by one, under the guise of "freedom" the nations shall fall into the hands of the selected few who, when the smoke fades, shall rule with an unbending hand and the agony of man shall be as none he has ever known. So be it for it has been written thus for aeons of time and you listened not. The United States of America is the last bastion of hope for your world. If you can restrain the elite few, make your commitments to change, it could be halted---we see no probability that it will be so. Therefore, our ones shall endeavor to help you play within the game as long as possible that pockets of good examples can be established WITHIN THE LAWS OF THE LAND, that the evolution to come shall give hope and light unto the lost. You have a brief time of coming together and really making a grand difference in the sequence---will you do it? It is your choice. Whether ye do or do not---the word must go forth unto this saddened world for man HAS YET TO GAIN THE HIGHEST GLORY AND ABUNDANCE OF ALL IF HE WILL BUT TAKE OF IT! Will mankind come up off his cot of boredom, greed and lust, and act? The "controllers" have placed you in a stupor through your media---you have turned to homosexuality as you have ceased to function in wholeness with your opposite gender. They have painted a picture of lust and satisfaction which is evil and false---they have literally taught you and your babies that all the ten commandments of God are wrong and shown you HOW to misuse and abuse them. YOU HAVE BECOME FOLLOWERS OF SATAN EVEN WHILE YOU DENOUNCE HIM. YOU CAN, HOWEVER, CHANGE IT IF YOU WILL! MOST OF YOUR MASSES FIND NAUGHT OTHER THAN PAIN IN LIFE---LIFE IS A JOY OF CELEBRATION AND YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN, LULLED INTO LETHARGY BY THOSE WHO WILL DESTROY YOU. SO BE IT AND SELAH. I AM SANANDA MAY TRUTH BE YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT BEFORE THE CLOCK IS TURNED--FOR IT LAYS UPON ITS SIDE IN THIS BRIEF INTERIM OF WHAT YOU PERCEIVE AS "TIME". HEED WELL! * * * Hatonn present to resume on the document, please. A glorious day the Creator has gifted you with in this place of the foothills and our craft are very close this day. If you will look, we shall acknowledge. It is a time of brotherhood in your year's cycle but there is such pain and unhappiness as meaning has been wiped from your hearts. The drive for material gain and exchange has caused the season to lose of its definition. You cannot revere God and Satan at once---Satan has stolen your last Holy Day while you were "being" and "reaping the rewards of abundance"---his promise shall be as all his promises--shortlived and empty. Your places of "family" are but on your "X-mas" cards--So it has come to be. Selah and Salu. Thank you, chela, for this is the greatest gift you can give unto your family and babes---and fellow-man. The sooner we finish the work the sooner man has opportunity to see truth. Do not despair, little one, for joy and peace shall be your reward. And to you who put forth these words unto your brother---great joy shall come forth for the wash of appreciation shall flow over you as a tidal wave---man is ready to hear and see. The desire for "freedom" shall raise again in the breast of the human and you will not be able to measure your reward. Joy and peace is the reward within self---for a job well done. Let us now return to the illusion and illumination of more disagreeable matters. First, however, I wish to acknowledge John S. whose letter was received on the yesterday. Ah yes, brother, 'tis you who was given reference. Thank you for acknowledging. You are held most dear in our heart places for your loyalty and never-ending affirmation of love and willing assistance. Ye are most beloved by Germain and soon the way is to become more clear as to your ultimate path--that sir, is a message directed unto you from Sir Germain. Blessed are ye who have patience to await thy call. Oberli, please see that John's requests are met and see to it that he gets first copies of all the journals as soon as available. Ask if he would like to quietly distribute the journals when it does not interfere with his other duties. We would supply him with the initial few sets so that he would not need place money in the fore. We must have our beloved workers gain stability and reward for God is abundance and man must understand that he also provides unto his faithful. These journals are destined to blanket the lands for even in darkest Africa--the concept is the same and it is the concept which has value. So be it and blessings in great joy. My heart is overflowed when I can relay joyous messages. Thank you for the brief diversion. ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 12 <<================ Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 604 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 18 <<============================ Topic: THE PLANS WERE DESIGNED THAT WAY - Chap 23 By deliberate design, America, having enjoyed unquestioned global military superiority between 1945 and the late 1960s, now faces military defeat and submission to the godless Soviet warlords who already control--with the blessing of the world's most powerful capitalists--the apparatus slated to become an unchallengeable world police authority. Cartel master planners wrote this hideous ending to America's final chapter years ago. Walt Whitman Rostow, the State Department official who called for an end to America's nationhood as historically defined, also brazenly announced in 1962 that there would never be a "victory of the United States over Russia" and that there would never be a "victory of capitalism over socialism". Indeed, that would never do! In the 1950s, the U.S. enjoyed unquestioned strategic superiority over Soviet weapons, which in those days could not have hit the broad side of a big barn. Yet the U.S. government was already studying conditions when surrender (after nuclear attack) would be advisable. In that same period, the Tavistock-linked Rand Corporation produced a study which concluded that the U.S. may have to surrender to the Soviets without fighting. In 1957, the U.S. had an 8-1 military lead over the Soviets. That year, a Cartel commission chaired by Roman Gaither (Ford Foundation) disseminated a secret report to government officials painting a bleak picture of America's ability to withstand the Soviet threat. Bulging with disinformation, the report was intended to convince America's leaders that the U.S. could never successfully compete against the dedicated, highly disciplined Russians. The report intimated that--in order to avoid death by incineration--America must prepare for pre-emptive surrender. This has been the mindset of those who have directed U.S. policy ever since. As two eminent political commentators have noted: "They figured that the only way to avert nuclear incineration was to reduce U.S. strategic power so far below the Soviets that our only rational alternative would be to surrender. The means they chose was, by fraud and deception, to destroy or scrap 1/10 of U.S. Strategic power in-being, and to block the production and deployment of additional advanced strategic systems. Without these elitist programs of self-fulfilling prophecy, the Soviets could not possibly have moved so close to a first-strike capability against the United States." Likewise, the Committee on The Present Danger, quoted intermittently in the review of U.S. and Soviet weaponry, is packed with distinguished world order advocates, disarmament veterans and Soviet apologists. These include Dean Rusk, Doug Dillon and Paul Nitze, who have all dedicated their careers to disarming the United States and to protecting Soviet imperialism. The Committee's assessment of America's now real military inferiority is undoubtedly being used to stampede the masses into the New World Order. Only the shadowy figures within the inner core of Cartel power know whether or not a Soviet nuclear attack is planned to hasten America's surrender to The Plan. You can assume that the Cartel's billionaire families wish to prevent nuclear war at all costs, while making the transition into global dictatorship, for you might assume they do not actually wish to be nuked also. IS THERE SOMETHING TO PREVENT THESE CHARMING COMRADES FROM TURNING AGAINST THEIR SUPER-RICH CAPITALIST COLLABORATORS AND ATTACK THE UNITED STATES IN A DOUBLE-CROSS---ONCE YOUR AMERICA IS DISARMED? JUST THE FEW ELITE WORLD ORDER PLANNERS WILL BE SPARED AND THAT BECAUSE OF A PRE-DETERMINED COMPACT WITHIN THE BROTHERHOOD OF DEATH. Whether the Soviets would attack through the world police force or with their own military machine, or with a combination of both is a moot point. You can know that strategy for America's ultimate surrender after Soviet nuclear attack has been outlined by former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, whose calculated policy of unilateral disarmament left the American military apparatus in shambles by the early 1970's (Phyllis Schlafly and Chester Ward, The Betrayers New York: Pere Marquette, 1968). McNamara suggested in 1983 that America continue to unilaterally disarm by junking the MX, by withdrawing nuclear weapons from Europe and then establishing a "multi-national crisis-management team" to supervise what remains of America's weapons. His prize recommendation was: "McGeorge Bundy, the national security advisor to Kennedy and Johnson, has suggested that any nuclear attack be met with a retaliatory strike at a lesser level, and I completely agree. If nuclear war starts, one must try to stop it; this lesser-response strategy would lead to a de-escalation rather than an escalation of any nuclear conflict." Oh my dear ones, it gets ever so much worse. This is typical of the groveling world view of those who have prevented America from developing even a CIVIL-DEFENSE program to protect the population from radiation and starvation, lest the Soviets become angry and accuse America of "aggressive" behavior. Because a Soviet first-strike will probably kill at least half of the U.S. population and because even an ALL-OUT retaliatory response would be insufficient to defeat the Soviets, the McNamara-Bundy proposal for a delayed and muffled response to nuclear attack is nothing more than a proposal for unconditional and immediate surrender. The surrender motif has always figured heavily in the schemes of world order master planners. Bertrand Russell, collaborator at the Pugwash conferences at which U.S. industrialists and Soviet leaders planned the step-by-step unilateral disarmament of the West, instructed Britain: "We must learn to submit to law, even when imposed by aliens whom we hate and despise, and whom we believe to be blind to all righteousness." An innovative strategy for America's surrender to the Soviet Juggernaut has been outlined by New Age pacifists Ron Sider and Richard Taylor. In NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST AND CHRISTIAN HOPE, they urge immediate and complete UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT of the United States, which they admit would "very likely result in a Soviet invasion". They also readily acknowledge that a Soviet invasion could result in millions of American deaths. These degenerate nerds then explain how Americans must nevertheless RESTRAIN THEMSELVES DURING SOVIET INVASION: "The landing would be peaceful. No American artillery would fire; no jets would strafe. Instead of American soldiers crouching behind tanks and pointing guns at them, the invaders would see tens of thousands of unarmed people carrying signs with messages in the invader's language. "Like the Czechs, Hungarians and East Germans during the Russian invasion of those countries, Americans would climb up on the tanks and try to talk to soldiers: 'Why have you come? Why are you invading a peaceful nation that is not threatening you?' Loudspeakers would explain that the troops are welcome as tourists but will be opposed as invaders. "If members of the crowd were not able to keep discipline and started to threaten the soldiers, special U.S. Peace-keeping Teams would move in non-violently to restrain the persons who were losing control." IF I INDULGED IN THE ACT OF EATING, I WOULD MOST SURELY VOMIT RIGHT NOW. CAN LITTLE EARTH BROTHERS BE SO STUPID? WELL, IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE SO. Dr. Gary North has pointed out, such a non-violent welcome could be moderately dangerous for the Soviets too, because they might die laughing. So be it for we of Command Fleet have. A bit from WHAT TO DO WHEN THE RUSSIANS COME: "WE CANNOT TOTALLY EXCLUDE AN ALL-OUT NUCLEAR WAR IN WHICH AMERICA IS LARGELY DESTROYED WITH FAR LESS SOVIET LOSS, RESULTING IN OCCUPATION BY MOSCOW'S TROOPS OF A RUINED, DEPOPULATED LAND, A SCENARIO QUITE COMMONLY FOUND IN SOVIET MILITARY LITERATURE. "BUT WHAT SEEMS MORE LIKELY, GIVEN THE SOVIET ACHIEVEMENT OF EFFECTIVE SUPERIORITY, WOULD BE A CRUMBLING OF AMERICA EITHER AFTER A LIMITED SOVIET NUCLEAR STRIKE OR SIMPLY UNDER A THREAT AGAINST WHICH THE UNITED STATES WOULD HAVE BECOME PRACTICALLY DEFENSELESS. "MILITARY OCCUPATION, PERHAPS UNDER A GRADUAL AND PARTIALLY CAMOUFLAGED FACADE, WOULD BE INEVITABLE. AND, HOWEVER DONE, THIS WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SLOW BUT TOTAL SOVIETIZATION OF AMERICA. "THERE IS NO POINT IN BEING STARRY-EYED ABOUT THE SCOPE AND POSSIBILITIES OF THE AMERICAN RESISTANCE. IF RESISTANCE METHODS HAVE GROWN MORE SOPHISTICATED, SO HAVE THE MEANS OF COMBATING THEM. IT WILL BE A LONG STRUGGLE." Topic: LET US DRAW SOME CONCLUSIONS FOR THOUGHT FOOD - Chap 23 According to the above scenarios, when American survivors of Soviet attack and invasion lie prostrate at the boots of their godless oppressors, the world will be plunged into its final and darkest age. America, once the hope and light of the world, would become a land of concentration camps. Millions of those schooled in the "old world order" would be summarily executed or suffer slow death by hard labor and starvation. The world's boat people and foot people and the would-be escapees and defectors dreaming of reaching freedom would have their dreams of a promised land extinguished forever. Yet, there are other forces at work in the universe. The Cartel, with its boundless greed and the Soviet slavers, drunk with power, are not the only players in the human drama. There is a Higher Power confronting what the apostle Paul described as the "rulers of the darkness of this world" and "the spiritual wickedness in high places". Despite the hysterical protests of Marxists and Humanists everywhere, there IS a just God, the Creator and Author of freedom and human dignity. This magnificent and loving intelligence anticipated The Plan millenniums before its perpetrators were born. In His mercy, He has given His children a promise that the blood-drenched BEAST will die in an agonizing death. John the Revelator tells you that the gangsters behind the great global monetary dictatorship and the police authority enforcing it face one minor disadvantage----THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED! John revealed that the Cartel has been allotted a LIMITED SEGMENT OF TIME FOR ITS GLOBAL PROJECT. He gave clues that the BEAST'S SECRET COMBINATION WILL ITSELF BE BURNED with the very instruments it has prepared for world domination. Apparently, something yet unforeseen will cause the great Red fetus to turn on its own mother for the kill. John's vivid description of a terrible, fiery cataclysm that will engulf the world's richest cities is undeniably a description of nuclear holocaust. Referring to the world's great financial centers as "Babylon", John gave you this incredible preview--if you but pay attention: "And he (the angel) cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. "And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more. "The merchants of these things which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of their torment (radioactivity), weeping and wailing. "For in one hour so great riches is come to naught--for in one hour is she made desolate. "For thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and all that were slain upon the earth." DO YOU CARE TO CONTINUE, LITTLE CHELAS? DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE TESTIMONY THAT CONFIRMS? It is, you know, confirmed by sacred testimony and by long-ago prophets and seers that: the millions who died in global and regional wars, the millions who died during Communist invasion, the hundreds of millions who died in Soviet and Red Chinese slave labor death camps, the legions murdered while trying to escape totalitarianism, the millions condemned to death for their religious faith-------all were victims of one single secret combination whose perpetrators and benefactors have lived in great wealth. Incredible as it may seem this day, John foresaw that the Cartel's oppressive global economic system (computer networks and all) would be zeroed out in ONE HOUR. Think of it, little brothers! Generations of intensive labor to build a totalitarian world empire EVAPORATED IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR. One hour is about the length of time it will take Soviet subs to nuke American coastal cities into oblivion---so be it and selah. Yet, what will become of the forces that have burned, in a double-cross, the Cartel's great corporate and financial centers? Will the jaws of the Soviet python swallow the entire Western Hemisphere? That is surely Soviet design, but the best laid plans of tyrants have gone awry throughout history. Without Chase Manhattan, the Export-Import Bank and the large mega-corporations of the West to back and supply them, the Communists will fail. A clue to the inevitable destruction of the Red cancer is found in the observations of Viktor Suvorov, whose experience in the Soviet military leads him to conclude: "The fastest Soviet aircraft are flown by men who detest socialism with all their hearts. In wartime, tens of millions of soldiers would have an opportunity to desert--and they would take it. Soviet soldiers would surrender by the million." COULD IT BE THAT YOU MIGHT GAIN FRIENDS FROM THESE ENEMIES---MAN TO MAN OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF IGNORANCE AND SUBTERFUGE INTO LIGHT AND TRUTH? COULD IT BE POSSIBLE? THEY, TOO, ARE BLINDED ONES OF THE LIES. The Soviet empire is a seething mass of dissent. There are hundreds of millions of slaves in Communist-occupied countries who despise their Soviet, Cuban and Red Chinese masters. Now being held as prisoners of war within their own nations, they would take any opportunity to rise against their cage-keepers---you have just these past two months experienced the extent to which man will go to gain freedom from those oppressors. Thus, during the chaos of global war, it is possible the controllers could lose control of their dominions. Topic: BACK TO SATAN---ALWAYS BACK TO SATAN - Chap 23 The Cartel's Plan---Satan's counterfeit scheme for millennial perfection--must ultimately fail. Built upon the foundations of greed, deceit, and genocide, The Plan harbors the seeds of its own destruction. It will inevitably collapse upon itself. The Cartel's Plan is merely a blip within the greater plan of God the Father. The Cartel's Plan is an opportunity for each man to choose between good and evil. It is an opportunity for mankind to behold the ripest fruits of Satanism. It is a lesson you will take with you to eternity. After the BEAST's great monetary system collapses, your Christ will necessarily seize the reigns of global power and destroy the armies of the BEAST. Let us look at another thing that John said: "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse. "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years." Topic: YOU STILL HAVE A DISTANCE TO GO - Chap 23 The ultimate fate of the BEAST and his disciples is set and irreversible, the world has yet to experience the MAXIMUM EXTENSION of the Cartel's eco-political power. In his zenith fast approaching, the BEAST WILL BE SO FORMIDABLE, BOTH POLITICALLY AND MILITARILY, THAT THE WORLD WILL SAY, "WHO IS LIKE UNTO THE BEAST? WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM?" YET, YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT THE POWER OF THE BEAST WILL BE COMMENSURATE ONLY WITH THE NUMBER OF WORLD CITIZENS WHO CAN BE DECEIVED IN SUPPORTING HIS EVIL PLAN. WHICH WILL YOU CHOOSE? Topic: HONOR UNTO THE FEW - Chap 23 In honor I dedicate these final words unto ones who shall remain unnamed for their safety and security---for that reason have we penned this document. There are a brave few who continue and shall continue until it is over, to focus on the Cartel families themselves, identifying their corporate interlocks, their political front organizations, their influential think tanks, their propaganda vehicles, the sources of their unfathomable wealth and their international network of corruption and influence. They will positively identify the central coordinating mechanism through which governments of the world are given their marching orders---and we shall support them unto the end for the truth of it. With unimpeachable documents, they will identify the linking control centers through which the Cartel selects and trains the governing elite of Soviet Russia and Communist China. You, as the citizenry of a dying world must look at these things. You must look and examine the Cartel's super-secret Brotherhood of Death whose members swear allegiance to a power cult which bases initiation rituals on the human skull and bone--ancient symbols of death. For generations, members of this clandestined order have been placed in powerful government positions to augment The Plan through war and revolution. Look now at some of the members of this brotherhood: Members have included Roosevelt's secretary of war, Henry L. Stimson, who knew WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY DAYS IN ADVANCE THAT PEARL HARBOR WOULD BE ATTACKED AND WHO AUTHORIZED THE USE OF THE ATOMIC BOMB ON JAPAN AFTER THAT NATION HAD SERVED ITS PURPOSES. The Brotherhood of Death also spawned former Ford Foundation president McGeorge Bundy and his brother William. As presidential assistants, these two men directed the escalation of the Vietnam War while simultaneously maintaining links to the anti-war movement. George Bush, who personally strong-armed Western European leaders into accepting the catastrophic INF Treaty, has been selected by the most powerful people in the world to preside over America's final surrender to The Plan. The Bush family, at the center of Cartel power, has long been affiliated with the Wall Street nexus which financed the Russian Bolshevik Revolution. George Bush's father was a partner in Brown Brothers Harriman, a private banking firm packed with Skull and Bones brothers. This firm was a foremost vehicle through which the Cartel nurtured Soviet dictatorship in its infancy. Like his father before him, George Bush is a member of the Skull and Bones Brotherhood of Death. Indicative of the awesome power of this secret order is the fact that the Brotherhood of Death has had an office in the White House for the last eight years and it now holds the presidency of the United States of America. The Cartel operates for its own sinister purposes the executive branch of the U.S. government, hand-picking and controlling all U.S. presidents and their appointees. The Cartel, having pre-planned both world wars and also the Korean and Vietnam conflagrations, controlled U.S. forces while also backing and financing the "enemy". The Cartel, having seized control of public education, is now constructing a national propaganda apparatus for uniform mass indoctrination on behalf of The Plan. * * * NOW FOR THE SURPRISE--YOU THOUGHT THIS A POLITICAL MOVEMENT? NAY--IT IS THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL FOUNDATION OF A BESTIAL RELIGION. LEADERS DENOUNCE TRUTH AND GOD IN THE SAME BREATH THAT THEY CLAIM TO HONOR AND REVERE HIS PRESENCE----A MOST REMARKABLE MARK OF THE SATAN WITNESS. THEY UPHOLD LUCIFER AS "THE LIGHT" AND THEY CALL FOR RUTHLESS SUPPRESSION OF CHRISTIANITY AND ALL FREE FUNDAMENTAL WORSHIPERS OF GOD. THEY SUGGEST REVISION OF THE BIBLE TO PORTRAY THE CARTEL'S PLAN AS GOD'S PLAN JUST AS THE COUNCILS OF THE CHURCHES HAVE "VOTED IN" ALL MANNER OF EVIL BEHAVIOR THAT BLATANTLY REBUKES THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE CREATION AND GOD. THEY SHALL FURTHER CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT HIDEOUS GENOCIDAL PROGRAMS TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE WORLD'S POPULATION THROUGH AIDS, MURDER, DRUGS AND CRIMES OF ALL SORTS AGAINST HUMANITY. * * * * * MAY THE ONES I HONOR THIS DAY COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SALUTE UNTO THEM FOR THAT WHICH THEY DO CAN SAVE A CIVILIZATION OF MAN. SO BE IT. * * * * * Following is the WORLD ORDER MODELS PROJECT (WOMP). The following bureaucratic apparatus for world government has been designed by the Rockefeller/Carnegie-funded WOMP. This "central guidance system", as outlined by WOMP director Richard Falk in A STUDY OF FUTURE WORLDS (1975), is designed to administer GLOBAL SOCIALISM. It includes a global police authority slated to control ALL nuclear and conventional weapons. The WORLD GOVERNMENT, now growing steadily upon the framework of the United Nations, will require millions of authorities to maintain effective control and surveillance of several billion global citizens. Americans presently have ZERO electoral control over the thousands of appointed United Nations bureaucrats who already administer decisions affecting the U.S. both economically and militarily. As the world authority gains ever more power, global citizens will continue to have little or no electoral control of the elitists who dictate world policy. Here is a skeletal outline of the world governing authority as envisioned by WOMP master planners: A. WORLD ASSEMBLY: This is the principal policy-making (legislative) body comprised of three chambers: Assembly of Governments, Assembly of Peoples and Assembly of Organizations and Associations. This body will "set world standards" and render "binding decisions". B. COUNCIL OF PRINCIPALS: This is the chief administrative body designed to implement and enforce directives of the World Assembly. The Council will be comprised of a secretary-general and twenty-one other officials chosen from the three chambers of the Assembly. C. WORLD IMPLEMENTING BOARD: This nest of overseers will link the World Assembly and the Council to the following: 1. WORLD SECURITY SYSTEM: This is a massive, tripartite bureaucracy charged with: disarmament of all nations (World Disarmament Service); the maintenance of global "peace" through a global military force (World Security Forces); and settlement of disputes (World Grievance System). 2. WORLD ECONOMIC SYSTEM: This network will coordinate a computerized global socialist economy. It will enable the Cartel to centralize control of all major components of global wealth including natural resources, trade and labor. a. WORLD ECONOMIC PLANNING AND EQUITY COUNCIL: This department will maintain a global network of authorities who will "equalize" the economic status of the masses. It will ensure full employment for global citizens who may be shifted from place to place to fulfill their employment "duties". b. WORLD TRADE SYSTEM: Directors will supervise all business and commerce, and shape global trade through "redistributive and equalizing objectives". Officials will impose duties on transfer of goods which, in Richard Falk's words, "embellish life with ornaments of super-affluence". c. WORLD MONETARY AND TAX POLICY COUNCIL: Directors will regulate the "single paper currency" used in world trade and they will administer a global taxation program. d. WORLD TECHNOLOGY BOARD: Officials will maintain "continuous scrutiny of all human activity" in order to assess environmental consequences. e. WORLD DEVELOPMENT OFFICE: Officers will coordinate socialist redistribution of wealth and global economic leveling. 3. WORLD SYSTEM FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: This apparatus is designed to supervise the "development of man". According to Falk, world order bureaucrats will reshape, restrict or prohibit policies which do not reflect the Cartel's approved (Humanist) world view. The raw power to be exercised by this authority can be assessed from Falk's didactic statement: "However, we do take a position of generalized opposition to 'fashion' and 'advertising' which encourage waste of resources and shallow horizons of personal aspiration." a. WORLD FORUM OF LONG RANGE PLANNING FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: Directors will manage the "human welfare" of global citizens and coordinate "town meetings" on a global scale to deal with all facts of mental health and human development. This authority will also coordinate world order propaganda for satellite television. b. WORLD FORUM FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: This network will insure that environmental factors "facilitate the development of personality and character along WOMP lines" so that all global citizens will be sure to share a uniform (socialist) world view. c. WORLD COMMISSION AND COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS: These officials, selected by the secretary-general, will render decisions regarding "abuse of human rights" in order to advance WOMP's commitment to what Falk calls "pursuit of racial, sexual, religious, and economic equality". 4. WORLD SYSTEM FOR ECOLOGICAL BALANCE: Officials will deal with issues of pollution and they will operate a surveillance network designed to "facilitate greater understanding of the facts, risks and choices facing the control centers of the preferred world". Bureaucrats will specialize in "identifying areas of consensus" and concentrate on "strategies to mitigate dissent". (That, friends, means to terminate any dissenters!) YES, THIS IS A NIGHTMARE--BUT YOU WILL NOT SIMPLY WAKE UP AND THE BEAST WILL BE GONE. IF, HOWEVER, YOU DO NOT WAKE UP, EVERYTHING WORTH HAVING IN THIS WORLD SHALL BE GONE!

We shall examine the Cartel strategy for shredding the Constitution and flushing its remnants into the sewer of global dictatorship---BY THE YEAR 2000. THAT IS MOST CLOSE INDEED, FRIENDS. FIRSTLY: RESTRUCTURE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. The Plan requires that the Constitution ultimately be discarded. Therefore, the Cartel spent millions of dollars to draft A Proposed Constitutional Model for the "Newstates" of America. (Oh yes, it is documented!) The document is published in EMERGING CONSTITUTION by Rexford G. Tugwell (New York: Harper and Row, 1974). The Proposed New Constitution for the Newstates of America is also available from: Liberty Lobby, 300 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. 20003. This new Constitution was produced in the Sixties by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, this think tank was lavishly funded by the Ford Foundation, the Cartel's foremost institution dedicated to merging the United States with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Newstates constitution is so named because it replaces the fifty states with twenty regional bureaucratic groupings called "newstates". It creates, in theory, a TOTAL SOCIALIST STATE for contemporary America. It brings every facet of human endeavor under control of centralized planning and regulatory agencies. A huge network of "overseers", "chancellors", "planners", and other powerful administrators would supervise all industry, business, agriculture, production and distribution of goods and services. They would dictate policy for distribution of profits, capital, consumer prices, wages, utilities and all "practices affecting the public interest". Newstates facilitates The Plan by transferring authority to the world government through the House of Representatives, whose duties are "to assist in the maintenance of world order and for this purpose, when the President shall recommend, to vest jurisdiction in international legislative, judicial or administrative agencies." Other highlights of this document include: presidential appointment of senators who retain office for life; supervision of the judicial system by ONE super-judge whose legions of appointees would decide if the newstates had violated international law; mandatory disarmament of all citizens; state-supervised education for those who "meet appropriate tests of eligibility". Newstates endorses suspension of freedom of speech, communication, movement, assembly and petition during a declared emergency. The word "emergency" appears in the Newstates Constitution dozens of times. In preparation for reconstructive surgery on America's original Constitution, the Cartel created the Committee on the Constitutional System (CCS). Packed with world order enthusiasts, CCS has received massive funding from the Cartel's large tax-exempt foundations, including Rockefeller, Ford, American Express and the Dillon Fund. CCS is chaired by C. Douglas Dillon, who through his former Wall Street firm, Dillon Read, was heavily involved in financing Hitler and the Nazi movement prior to World War II. Dillon, worth an estimated $180 million, has been a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. He is also an official sponsor of the World Order Models Project. CCS co-founder is Trilateral Commissioner, Lloyd N. Cutler. Cutler agrees that the Constitution must be restructured to provide less separation between the executive and the legislative branches. He recommends remodeling America's political institutions to accommodate a parliamentary system similar to those of socialist Western Europe. Cutler states that the solution for occasional congressional obstruction of executive plans and projects, especially "foreign policy actions", is to bring the Congress under iron-fisted control of the President, i.e., the Cartel, because: "We are now an integral part of a closely interconnected world economic and political system. We have to respond as quickly and decisively to what happens abroad as to what happens within the portion of this world system that is governed under our Constitution. And when Congress does act, it is prone to impose statutory conditions or prohibitions that fetter the President's policy discretion to negotiate an appropriate assistance package." As Cutler affirms, it is necessary to greatly strengthen the executive branch of the federal government, which will then yield its powers to the global authority by the year 2000, or shortly thereafter. CCS has issued reports and recommendations proposing RADICAL constitutional changes that will allow the Cartel to centralize power for The Plan. CCS proposals, designed to circumvent the will of the people include: 1. Placing President, Vice President and congressional candidates on a package slate so voters would be forced to vote "party", not "the person". 2. Allowing the President to dissolve Congress when it refuses to cooperate. 3. Using public funds to finance congressional campaigns. 4. Doubling the length of congressional terms. 5. Empowering Congress or the President to call new elections during a "deadlock". 6. Merging the legislative and executive branches by permitting congressmen and senators to hold Cabinet positions while retaining their congressional seats. 7. Empowering the federal government to regulate and supervise cities. CCS, the National Taxpayers Union, and other Cartel instruments are pushing relentlessly for a constitutional convention. Several dozen states have petitioned Congress for such a convention for discussion of a balanced budget amendment, despite the fact that a balanced budget is already mandated by the Constitution in Article 1, Section 2. This part of the Constitution provides for the extinguishment of debt each fiscal year by requiring Congress to collect from the states (according to their congressional representation) the remaining needed tax revenues. Topic: STRATEGIES - Chap 16 Legal experts, including Walter Dellinger of Duke University Law School and Gerald Gunther of Stanford Law School, have agreed that there is no way to LIMIT the agenda of a constitutional convention. Therefore, a constitutional convention could provide the Cartel opportunity to radically restructure the Constitution along the model of Newstates. This would fulfill the prophecy of George Washington who warned in his Farewell Address: "One method of assault may be to effect in the forms of the Constitution alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown." SECONDLY: REPLACE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WITH PRIVILEGES. The Founding Fathers of your nation declared that the basic Bill of Rights freedoms are inalienable---that is, God-given. They maintained that inalienable rights can be neither created nor suspended by government dictum. They believed that government is instituted SOLELY TO PROTECT the inalienable rights of each individual. THAT IS WHY THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW WHICH RESTRICTS OR SUSPENDS INALIENABLE FREEDOM OF RELIGION, SPEECH, PRESS, ETC. The Cartel, however, believes that all rights are merely "privileges" created by government and liable to manipulation or revocation by bureaucratic whim. According to Richard Falk, WOMP planners have structured world order "rights" based, in part, upon the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The phraseology of this document closely parallels the Constitution of the Soviet Union. The Declaration of Human Rights extols certain inalienable rights, then opens the door to revocation of these rights through "determined by law" clauses. For example, it declares: "In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in the democratic society. These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations." Interestingly, the "purposes" and "principles" of the United Nations align precisely with Soviet Marxist ideology. The following is from the Los Angeles Times: "U.N. Secretary-General U Thant praised Vladimir I. Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, as a political leader whose ideals were reflected in the U.N. Charter. "Lenin was a man with a mind of great clarity and incisiveness, and his ideas have had a profound influence on the course of contemporary history." Lenin was an incisive terrorist. He told the Bolsheviks: "We have never rejected terrorism on principle, nor can we do so. Terrorism is a form of military operation that may be usefully applied." Lenin defined "democratic" terrorism with great clarity: "A revolution is undoubtedly the most authoritarian thing there is. It is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets, and cannon. And the victorious party, if it does not wish to have fought in vain, must maintain its rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionaries." Global citizens might be interested to ask which of their inalienable rights will remain intact if: 1. None of their rights can be exercised contrary to purposes and principles of the U.N., and 2. The U.N. reflects the ideals of the mass-murderer and terrorist, Vladimir Lenin. According to Falk, the Cartel's world government will likely grant global citizens the following world order "privileges": 1. The right to food, housing, health, and education (See Soviet constitution, articles 39-45). 2. The right to be protected against genocide, torture, arbitrary arrest, detention and execution, and against what Falk ominously calls "enemies of the state" (See Soviet constitution, articles 4, 37, 39, 49 and 54-58). 3. The right to participate in choice of political leadership, of job, of place of residence, of cultural activity and orientation and the right to participate in "procedures in shaping and execution of norms" (See Soviet constitution, articles 2, 3, 8, 48-50). 4. The right to work in order to be reasonably secure about the prospects of minimal physical well-being and survival (See Soviet constitution, articles 40, 60, 89-94, 146). Noticeably absent from WOMP's obtuse, ill-defined "rights" are these inalienable constitutional guarantees, which WOMP planners obviously consider immaterial in a socialist democracy: FREEDOM OF SPEECH FREEDOM OF THE PRESS FREEDOM OF RELIGION THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE PEACEFULLY THE RIGHT TO PETITION GOVERNMENT THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS THE RIGHT TO A WELL-REGULATED MILITIA THE RIGHT TO REFRAIN FROM BEING A WITNESS AGAINST ONESELF THE RIGHT TO JUST COMPENSATION FOR PROPERTY TAKEN FOR PUBLIC USE THE GUARANTEE AGAINST UNREASONABLE BAIL, UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES THE RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL BY JURY ET CETERA THIRDLY: BIND AMERICA WITH INTERNATIONAL TREATIES The Cartel believes that both the Constitution and America's national sovereignty must be dismantled in increments so that Americans do not become prematurely alarmed. (Well, I would say that is working most effectively.) Richard Gardner explains their "termite" principle: "In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. An end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault." The Cartel has successfully eroded national sovereignty and strengthened the institutions of world government by binding America to thousands of international treaties and agreements. For example, the United Nations International Wheat Conference has for years decreed how much wheat America may sell in foreign countries and at what price. At the same time, small U.S. farmers have suffered massive bankruptcies due to, among other things, low commodities prices. One researcher concludes: "After two centuries of disdain for international organizations, the United States in the post-World War II era has become one of history's great joiners. In a short time, the U.S. signed on with scores of groups. So vast grew this nation's memberships in international groups, that the State Department had to create in 1954 an entire section to deal with international organizations. By early 1983, the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations had a staff of 172 to monitor U.S. relations with 98 international groups. In addition to those, the U.S. has ties to at least 50 other international agencies and commissions. The exact number of international bodies to which the U.S. belongs, in fact, no one in the government seems to know." International treaties and other entanglements are vital to The Plan because they provide a clever mechanism for quietly transferring power from America's legally constituted state and federal governments to the global bureaucracy. In his official position as Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles declared: (please shudder now!) "Treaties make international law and also they make domestic law. Under our Constitution, treaties become the supreme law of the land. They are indeed more supreme than ordinary laws, for congressional laws are invalid if they do not conform to the Constitution, whereas treaty laws can override the Constitution. Treaties, for example, can take powers away from the Congress and give them to the federal government or to some international body and they can cut against the rights given the people by the Constitutional Bill of Rights." The Founding Fathers never intended this "snag". Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Manual of Parliamentary Practice: ". . . surely the President and the State cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way." So be it and may much luck come drifting your way. This has been confirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1953, Senator John Bricker feared that--because of this dangerous interpretation (Missouri vs. Holland (1920) and again in U.S. vs. Pink (1942)--unscrupulous foreign powers could rob U.S. citizens of their constitutional rights by seducing American politicians into cleverly designed treaties and agreements. So Bricker introduced to the Senate a Constitutional amendment providing that NO provision in the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, could be canceled or overridden by international treaty. The Bricker Amendment FAILED by one vote. This was a landmark victory for the Cartel. What treaties do you think Mr. Bush made with Mr. Gorbachev off Malta within the month? Oh foolish ones--several, and they have been listed for you in published material. No, you go look it up! I shall begin to stop chewing the food I place in your mouths. Americans who believe that their rights are irrevocably protected by the Constitution live in delusion. The late Senator William Jenner warned: "The United Nations is preparing a series of treaties which operate as domestic legislation, affecting our citizens in matters on which our Constitution does not permit even the federal government to legislate. They would abolish our Bill of Rights and replace it with a body of state-granted privileges and duties modeled exactly upon the Soviet Constitution." Topic: TREATIES TO CANCEL THE 'BILL OF RIGHTS' - Chap 16 One of the many treaties crafted to cancel the Bill of Rights and to bring America under jurisdiction of world government is the U.N. Genocide Convention. This treaty sat on the back burner for three decades until ratified by the Senate in 1986. Preventing mass murder is not the REAL intent of this treaty, which the late Senator Sam Ervin -- a constitutional expert, called "intellectually dishonest and deceptive". The Genocide Convention defines "genocide" as an ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT which may be construed to cause "mental harm" to an individual or to a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. Thus, it creates a crucial foundation for restricting speech/press, since nearly ANY verbal or written statement could allegedly cause mental harm to SOMEONE. The vague language of the Genocide Convention renders the treaty open to broad interpretation by the World Court. In 1946, the U.S. Senate recognized the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (World Court) except in matters which are "within the domestic jurisdiction of the United States as determined by the United States". This reservation, the Connally Amendment, is all that protects Americans from the arbitrary decrees of foreign-born World Court judges, whose personal ideologies invariably reflect the Marxist bias of the United Nations. The Cartel will eventually repeal the Connally Amendment so that the World Court may effectively regulate America's internal affairs. The vague language also renders the treaty open to broad interpretation of any other international tribunal before which an American may eventually be brought to stand trial once he is accused of "intent to destroy", "conspiracy", "incitement" or "complicity". Although it sounds unreal, the authors of these books giving forth simple information, could someday be accused of verbal "genocide" by those who favor The Plan. These ones could be forced to stand trial, without Constitutional protection, before an international court or tribunal. The prognostications are based on what has happened to many authors within the Soviet sphere who have critically examined the Cartel's Soviet machine. The Genocide Convention will eventually be used by the "central guidance system" to enforce global totalitarian censorship. Let's see how fast and much you of the citizenry are willing to step out and cover these ones by your massive response. The probabilities, dear friends, are that most will toss this in the garbage pail or turn in the traitors while the masses march headlong into doom. You flaunt patriotism---why don't you stand and flaunt truth and get rid of the real traitors to this most beloved of all lands? You have forfeited your freedom---you are locked in an unopenable trap---you must now cut through the steel jaws. The cry of the Phoenix, which you hear now, is the death rattle of freedom rising from the flames just before the ashes of Hell bury you. Two other treaties developed at the United Nations, signed by the President of the United States (James Carter) and now awaiting Senate ratification are the: 1. International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 2. International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. These two treaties are legally binding on signatory nations. Framed by unelected United Nations bureaucrats to delineate the parameters of world government, these treaties are SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to repeal Constitutional guarantees, and to override the Bill of Rights. These U.N. covenants grant freedom of religion, freedom of expression, the right to peaceful assembly, freedom to travel, etc., but each right granted is IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A DISCLAIMER ANNOUNCING THAT EACH MAY BE RESTRICTED OR SUSPENDED "AS PROVIDED BY LAW" in order to protect national security, public health and morals. The treacherous wording of these documents was inspired by the Soviet Constitution, which grants citizens "full social, economic, political and personal rights and freedoms" but warns that "enjoyment by citizens of their rights and freedoms must not be to the detriment of the interests of society or the state". This phrase is a ticket to a Soviet concentration camp. The Cartel is rabidly anxious for Senate ratification of these two U.N. treaties (will you even notice when it happens?). This is undoubtedly why Doug Dillon's Committee on the Constitutional System calls for relaxation of Constitutional requirements for treaty ratification. Once these U.N. treaties become legally binding on the United States, the regulation of America's internal affairs will automatically be transferred from state and federal governing bodies to the "central guidance system". Unelected U.N. bureaucrats, far removed from the electoral process, will dictate domestic policy and procedure for the United States. Local, state and federal officials will be compelled to report to world government officials on the measures adopted and the progress made in observance of these covenants. Further, the U.N. committee charged with enforcement of these covenants may NOT include a U.S. national. The Soviets have signed the United Nations treaties discussed above. Their totalitarian interpretation gives clues to the value of these documents for implementing a global police state. As The New York Times reported: "The Soviet Union said today that the two international human rights covenants that it has just ratified gave it specific authority to limit the right of immigration, the free flow of ideas and other individual liberties" (Sept. 28, 1973). Dharma, let us close this segment, chela, for you need a rest. Please leave the document as is, without new chapter heading for I desire to continue with the strategies 4, 5 and 6 before drawing this segment to a close. Thank you. I shall just move to stand-by. HATONN, CLEAR. 1:15 P.M. TO CONTINUE: STRATEGY 4 (FOURTHLY):MAKE AMERICA A WELFARE STATE As indicated by Richard Falk, the global governing authority will supervise the bestial care and feeding of all citizens. The Plan requires a human population reduced to the state of domesticated animals. Citizens must become absolutely dependent upon the government for absolutely everything: housing, retirement pensions, child care, education, medical care, mental health, spiritual guidance, etc. Once ratified by the Senate, the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights will obligate the Feds to restructure the economic and social fabric of America in order to guarantee food, housing, medicine and employment to all Americans. This document mandates government control of production and distribution of food. It requires that all schools, public and private, foster world order propaganda, i.e., "further the activities of the United Nations". Seducing Americans into a cradle-to-grave welfare system through endless taxpayer-financed assistance programs has long been a Cartel priority. Several generations of Americans have been strategically educated to believe that government is instituted specifically to redistribute wealth and that human sustenance is possible ONLY through bureaucratic largess. Therefore, to the applause of hundreds of thousands of collectivists who staff government social service agencies, America is hurtling into socialism at an astonishing rate. Already one of every three children in America lives in a household that receives some form of government largess. The freebies are, however, only a TRANSITIONAL phase. There will be no "free ride" in Soviet-America. As the Soviet constitution affirms: "The source of the growth of social wealth and of the well-being of the people, and of each individual, is the labour of Soviet people." Because SOMEONE has to produce the wealth needed to support a socialist system, The Plan requires confiscatory taxation that will eventually, as in European socialist states, channel the major portion of the earnings of each American worker to the SOCIALIST STATE. Each socialized American will queue up to await an official determination as to what percentage of his government-confiscated earnings he is eligible to receive back in government service. He will not only discover that non-competitive government services are grossly inferior to services once provided by the private sector, but invariably discover that what he pays to the socialist state far outweighs what he receives in return. The difference will involve the huge administrative costs required to maintain an all-encompassing socialist bureaucracy. State-supervised labor contingents are also important to America's evolving socialist system. As increasing numbers of American drones become wards of the Socialist State, and as the number of remaining producers grows proportionately too small to support the welfare burden, Soviet Americans will find themselves regimented to labor under government supervision. Citizens will be compelled to participate in mandatory "service programs". Eventually, even the indigent and the homeless will be forced into labor-for-your-food programs. Cartel spokesman, Edward H. Carr explained: "If the new Declaration of the Rights of Man is to include provisions for social services, for maintenance in childhood, in old age, in inadequacy or in unemployment, it becomes clear that no society can guarantee the enjoyment of such rights unless it in turn, has the right to call upon and direct the productive capacities of the individuals enjoying them." The Cartel's Newstates constitution mandates a compulsory citizen draft for national service programs as required by law. As a first step toward a mandatory citizen draft, a volunteer "Citizen Corp" program has been proposed by the Democratic Leadership Council. The concept is also being pushed by President George Bush. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union declares: "Communism is a highly organized society of free, socially conscious workers in which labor for the good of society will become for everybody the prime, vital requirement." The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights mandates compulsory labor for prisoners, military personnel and citizens whose work fulfills "civil obligations". However, this document instructs that compulsory duties will NOT be TERMED COMPULSORY. Obviously, citizens must be convinced that COMPULSORY labor is really VOLUNTARY labor! STRATEGY 5: ABOLISH PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY Richard Falk complains that the American "belief system", which upholds private property rights and the right to accumulate and transmit capital, is an obstruction to global reform. According to Rexford G. Tugwell, co-author of the Newstates Constitution, Americans must relinquish property ownership. The Cartel's tax-exempt Carnegie Corporation of New York funded a report which concluded many years ago: "Cumulative evidence supports the conclusion that, in the United States as in other countries, the age of individualism and laissez faire in economy and government is closing and that a new age of collectivism (socialism) is emerging. It may involve the limiting or supplanting of private property by public property or it may entail the preservation of private property, extended and distributed among the masses. In any event, the actually integrating economy of the present day is the forerunner of a consciously integrated society in which individual economic actions and individual property rights will be altered and abridged." Or, in the poignant words of Karl Marx: "The theory of the Communists may be summed up in one sentence: ABOLITION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY." Lenin's revolutionary thugs seized private property in Russia through murderous violence. In the United States, however, the Cartel is abolishing private property through "piecemeal" socialist revolution. The federal government presently owns ONE-THIRD of the land mass in the United States. This is equal to all land east of the Mississippi plus Texas. The federal government owns FORTY-NINE PERCENT of the land in thirteen states west of the border between Montana and the Dakotas. As a condition for statehood, Alaska was bludgeoned into permitting the federal government to retain 224,000,000 acres of Alaskan wilderness. By the early 70's, the Cartel had developed strategy to effectively gain control of all privately-owned land in the United States. Through EXECUTIVE ORDER, Cartel stooge Richard Nixon created ten federal regions (newstates) composed of several states each. Federal grant-making agencies were established to administer revenue-sharing programs for each of these regional units. In order to qualify for federal funds, state and local governments have complied with federally mandated tax and land-use (zoning) requirements strategically designed to diminish private control of property. Robert Weaver, a former administrator of Housing and Urban Development, explained to California legislators: "Regional government means absolute federal control over all property and its development regardless of location, anywhere in the United States, to be administered on the federal official's determination. It (regional government) would supersede state and local laws. Through this authority we seek to recapture control of the use of land, most of which the government has already given to the people." The key agency designing strategies for increasing federal control of private land in America is the Cartel's Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR). ACIR is headquartered at the Rockefeller-funded University of Chicago. Backed by the Brookings Institution (the Cartel's foremost think tank for socialist transformation), ACIR has supplied state governments with model statutes and legislative amendments related to virtually every facet of state and local government. Instead of challenging such brazen meddling, state legislators have consistently rubber-stamped ACIR's recommended legislation in order to qualify for federal revenue-sharing schemes. The consequences are becoming increasingly obvious as citizens find themselves ominously less able to pay their burgeoning property taxes and as each new round of zoning ordinances narrows personal land-use decisions to an absurdly small circumference. ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 13 <<================ Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 622 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 13 <<============================= A clever Cartel vehicle for TAXING LANDOWNERS off their property is federal legislation unleashed in the 1960s. This legislation struck down state statutes which limited the vote on property assessments to property owners exclusively. Presently, those who do not own property may vote to tax property owners. This is socialist democracy at its finest. Under Cartel influence, zoning ordinances throughout the nation are becoming increasingly repressive. Ordinances which restrict the number of people who can meet together in a private residence, or which provide for neighbors to tattle on one another, are building blocks of a police state. John Vanderhoof, former governor of Colorado, afforded a glimpse of the new world order when he said: ". . . the individual citizen will have very little to say about the use of his own property. That citizen, whether he be a rancher, a farmer, or urbanite, will be required to submit application for the use of his property to a local computer. That local computer will be tied into a master computer. The master computer will then make the decision as to whether that farmer, rancher, or businessman in the city can use the property as desired." Well, dear ones---is it not already abundantly so? The gradual abolition of private property in the U.S. portends grave ramifications for all Americans. Samuel Adams wrote that property must be secured or liberty cannot exist. James Madison declared that where an excess of power prevails, property is in jeopardy. John Locke, whose brilliant ideas on civil liberties formed the basis for constitutional theory, noted that the right to own property and control its use is IRREVOCABLY CONNECTED to the protection of both LIBERTY and LIFE itself, which is included under the general term "property". The history of Communist tyranny has certainly proven him correct. Thus, it is extremely significant that the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights--documents prepared by unelected U.N. bureaucrats to outline the privileges and duties of global citizens--SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDE any mention of the right of individuals to own property. Topic: 6: USHER IN THE "AGE OF CAESAR" - Chap 16 Yet another vehicle for drawing America into world order tyranny is the EXECUTIVE ORDER. Since 1916, U.S. presidents (and their Cartel manipulators) have issued THIRTEEN THOUSAND executive orders. These dictums are neither authorized by Congress, nor reviewed by the federal judiciary. A two-thirds vote of Congress is required to overturn them and consequently, even those orders which are grossly outdated are almost NEVER overturned. Further, the President does not even need to consult his "Cabinet"--he can act solely on recommendations of advisors and/or himself. The constitutional validity of executive orders has been questioned many times, but a ruling on the extent or limit to which they may be used has never been determined by either the courts or by Congress. Executive orders, which are placed in the Federal Register, allow non-elected executive bureaucrats to completely circumvent Congress in order to create administrative law. Administrative law resulting from executive order is written and administered by federal regulatory agencies which are mini-dictatorships in their own right. As the Committee on the Constitutional System notes with approbation, these agencies combine administrative, legislative and ajudicatory powers in a single government body. This is an example of ultra-centralization of power which the Founding Fathers warned against. Executive orders are vital to The Plan because the President of the United States (or his appointed agents) may use them to enforce agreements which HE ALONE may have made with another government or with an international organization. Does it concern you what might have already been going on with China, not to even mention Russia? As Senator Jenner warned nearly forty years ago: "The doctrine that the President could make personal agreements was extended to the doctrine that agreements made by any authorized member of the government bureaucracy, in the name of the President, had the same effect as those made by the President. Mr. Dulles tells us that 10,000 executive agreements have been made pursuant to NATO ALONE." Among the most horrendous of the Cartel's executive orders are those which authorize Soviet-style dictatorship in the event of a national crisis. There are a staggering 470 special statutes in the U.S. Code which can be invoked by the President during a national emergency. These statutes were described by Senator Mathias of Maryland who testified before a House Judiciary subcommittee in 1975: "These hundreds of statutes clothe the President with virtually unlimited powers with which he can affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing ways. This vast range of powers, taken together, confers enough authority on the President to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional processes. "Under the authority delegated by the statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprises; restrict travel; and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens." And, Mr. Bush has just boldly told you he plans to use them all and you can take it and shove it! The most abhorrent of all such emergency statutes is Executive Order Number 11921 issued in 1976. It authorizes the executive to exercise every conceivable dictatorial power, even TOTAL CENSORSHIP. Says Dr. Gary North, author of GOVERNMENT BY EMERGENCY: "How bad is this Executive Order? Very, very bad. Mindbogglingly bad. Anyone who hasn't read anything about these emergency orders has a rude awakening ahead. The day of the Caesar is already on the statute books. It only awaits a set of circumstances, including a risk-oriented President, to inaugurate that day. the public, the public's representatives, and even the President have only the faintest glimmer of the massive pile of secret legislation ready to be imposed on this nation in the name of national emergency. It is a frightful legacy." WELL, YOU JUST WITNESSED IT IN ACTION--PANAMA! MR. BUSH WAS FLEXING HIS MUSCLES AND TESTING THE WATER AS TO HOW FAR HE COULD SWIM--HE FOUND HE CAN SWIM ALL OVER YOU THE PEOPLE! Pre-manufactured crisis and emergency are important building blocks of world order. Cartel rhetoric proves the point. Those planning the New World Order speak continually of CRISIS--population crisis, environmental crisis, social crisis, economic crisis, constitutional crisis, etc. Crisis provides a splendid rationale for "crisis management". For example, professional agitators who continually scream "racism" or "sexism" have provided the momentum for repressive legislation which is gradually augmenting dictatorship by special interest groups dedicated to The Plan. Crisis engenders more bureaucracy and an endless expansion of political power. And POWER is just another name for the Socialist New World rder. Do you actually think George Bush gives a hoot in a hollow log about abortion? It is a distractor; look how hard I try is the theme---a nice man like me who wouldn't sacrifice even the seed of life and blah, blah, blah!!! Jimmy Carter was catapulted into the presidency by the Rockefeller machine. Carter created, through executive order, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Rockefeller clone: Zbigniew, "Marxism-supplied-the-best-available-insight-in o-contemporary-reality" Brzezinski assisted with the FEMA project. AND YOU ALL SAW HOW WELL AND EFFICIENTLY IT FUNCTIONED IN THE OCTOBER SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE---NEED I SAY MORE! FEMA holds a reign on every department of the U.S. government. It provides the bureaucratic apparatus through which the Cartel believes it can hollow out the federal government to rule the nation during a real or contrived national crisis. During national emergency, FEMA officials will carry out the edicts of the all-powerful executive, apparently without interference from Congress, the courts or even the Joint Chiefs of Staff. When congressional investigators try to probe the designs of the National Security Council-FEMA clique, they are told, as Senator Jack Brooks (D-Texas) was told at the Oliver North hearings, that these subjects are "classified". Hiding behind "national security", the Cartel successfully keeps its power designs shrouded from the public eye. However, in 1986, Douglas Dillon betrayed Cartel strategy when he confided to his fellow planners at a meeting of the Committee on the Constitutional System that drastic changes in America's constitutional system can be made ONLY AFTER A PERIOD OF GREAT CRISIS. He declared that sufficient discussion must be held in advance of this upheaval. America's present predicament was aptly described by that great statesman, Daniel Webster, when he said last century: "It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the danger of good intentions. There are men of all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." Topic: WHERE DO YOU STAND? - Chap 16 WHO WILL STAND AGAINST THE TYRANNY OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER? CERTAINLY NOT THE GROSSLY UNINFORMED MASSES! A RANDOM SURVEY OF AMERICAN ADULTS WAS CONDUCTED IN 1986 BY THE HEARST CORPORATION AND IT REVEALED THAT FIFTY-NINE PERCENT (59%) OF THOSE SURVEYED DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS---ALMOST HALF OF THOSE SURVEYED BELIEVED THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE CONSTITUTION!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS? IT MEANS THE JOB IS ALREADY HALF DONE BY THE CARTEL. OH, MOAN AND WAIL, YE OF BLINDNESS, FOR TOO SOON THE GRIM REAPER IS AT THY DOOR! Let us bring this portion to a stop at this point. I do not like chapters of such length that readers will not stop to digest the material---no matter how much indigestion this material may give the belly---I SUGGEST YOU EAT IT ALL!

YEAR 3, DAY 130 Topic: INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ORDER - Chap 17 You will find that a unified world economic system is vital for the victory of international socialism. Stalin declared that long ago--today the Soviets say: "In a socialist society the national or global economy is an integral organism, directed by a single will." Thus, a top Cartel priority is continued development of a single global economic system which can facilitate socialist world order. The economic component of The Plan is advancing rapidly. As Richard Falk celebrates in IN A STUDY OF FUTURE WORLDS, the entire world economy will be an "integrated whole" in the 1990's. The United Nations provides the framework for a global monetary system which links nations of the world with the Cartel's most powerful global financial institutions including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Please, I urge you ones to get SPACE-GATE, SPIRAL TO ECONOMIC DISASTER, and PRIVACY IN A FISHBOWL. Business Week has described the Cartel's supranational financial network as a "vast, integrated global money and capital system, billions of Eurodollars, Euromarks and other stateless currencies hurtling around the world 24 hours a day." This system will soon evolve into a global monetary dictatorship. Cartel theoretician, Richard Cooper, outlined the future when he said: "I suggest a radical alternative scheme for the next century: The creation of a common currency for all of the industrial democracies. But a single currency is possible only if there is in effect a single monetary policy, and a single authority issuing the currency and directing the monetary policy. How can independent states accomplish that? They need to turnover the determination of monetary policy to a supranational body." Cartel master planners call the evolving global monetary system the NEW INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ORDER (NIEO) in honor of the United Nations' Declaration of the Establishment of the New Economic Order. This declaration, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in l974, calls for government seizure (nationalization) of private business. It also mandates construction of a gigantic global welfare system to transfer wealth from producing nations to "poor" nations, i.e., those with systems so corrupt or inefficient that they cannot produce for themselves. One prominent world order propagandist explains: "The NIEO document calls for dramatic and painful change--painful to those countries, and companies, who are profiting from the present system. These reforms could mean that citizens of the wealthy countries will have to pay more for imported products, as they have for oil. It could mean that manufacturing employment would rise in the poor countries while falling in the rich countries. In other words, it could mean more inflation and fewer jobs in countries like the United States." Couched in this phony altruism is the Cartel's master plan for expanding multinational corporate profits by charging the "rich" nations more for imported products while transferring industry to the "poor" nations where cheap labor can be exploited. Planners at the World Order Models Project naturally propose a Marxist system of global wealth redistribution which will "equalize" the economic status of most global citizens. And Richard Gardner vociferates: "In the next several years, the United States and the other industrial countries, in their enlightened self-interest, should commit themselves to a number of measures to assist the economic development of the developing countries--more multilateral aid, more market access for developing countries' exports, more transfer of technology, a world food reserve...." Ronald Reagan's 1988 call for U.S. aid to rebuild Afhganistan for the Soviet puppet government there epitomizes the Cartel's NIEO designs. America's compulsory march into feudal poverty as her taxpayers are bled-dry to support Third World dictators was applauded by a 1984 campaign brochure released by Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro. It stated: "A New International Economic Order must be established which will fundamentally change the distribution and nature of world production. We recognize that this will mean some sacrifice by the rich, but we believe that we cannot continue to use economic growth to increase consumption and our material standard of living. Instead, we must work for a new lifestyle which will allow resources to be transferred and returned to the poorer nations." Calling for "sacrifice by the rich" is Cartel jargon for imposing increasingly confiscatory taxation--not on millionaire collectivists like Walter Mondale, Doug Dillon and Armand Hammer--but on the bourgeoisie: MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICA. America's nomenklatura will retain its unfathomable wealth in the socialist new world order. But confiscation of wealth earned by Middle America is vital for bringing all nations under a global socialist system. Lenin explained: "The more backward the country--the more difficult it is for her to pass from the old capitalist relations to socialist relations." Stalin pontificated: "It is essential that the triumphant proletariat of the advanced countries should render aid, real and prolonged aid, to the toiling masses of the backward nationalists, that it should help them to rise to a higher state of development and to catch up with the more advanced nationalities. Unless such aid is forth-coming, it will be impossible to bring about the peaceful coexistence and fraternal collaboration of the toilers of the various nations and peoples within a single world economic system that are so essential for the final triumph of socialism." WOMP planners call for a global taxing authority which will harness all global citizens to the great yoke of world government. Such a system is in the works. Americans, who have contributed untold billions of tax dollars to the United Nations, are already saddled with a national debt in the TRILLIONS. Yet this burden is only the FIRST FRUITS of The Plan. Topic: THE BEAST! - Chap 17 Dr. Carroll Quigley demonstrated in TRAGEDY AND HOPE that the Cartel's dynastic families have controlled the central banks of the world for generations. Possibly the most fascinating aspect of the Cartel's evolving global economic systems is the international network of computer and telecommunication centers which link central banks of the world to the Society for Worldwide Interbanks Financial Transactions (SWIFT) based in Belgium. SWIFT's financial wizards are rapidly assembling a global financial order based on credit cards, electronic funds transfer and point of sale computer terminals. This system is designed to eliminate most personal cash transactions by the year 2000. A global cashless monetary system will be extremely valuable to the Cartel because it will permit the "central guidance system" to collect reliable and up-to-date personal information on each global citizen. Detailed computer transaction sheets will enable world order surveillance specialists to monitor the net worth, tax liability, personal tastes, political and religious affiliation and even the whereabouts of each global citizen. The Cartel's capacity to process and store information of this kind is astounding! In the 1970s, a Canadian computer scientist stunned the world when he said of the three-story computer (dubbed the "beast") in Brussels, Belgium: "You and I are tied into this computer by one or more keys: our social security number, our driver's license, our birth certificate, our passport number, and whatever credit cards we use. Every move you have made, and every penny you have paid to Internal Revenue each year is all on record." NOW I REMIND YOU GOOD BUDDIES--THE FINAL LINK OF THE MASSIVE (STAR WARS) SATELLITE SYSTEM WILL BE TOTALLY OPERATIONAL WITHIN TWO WEEKS. THAT WAS WHAT SDI WAS ALL ABOUT AND BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN DIVERTED FROM PROJECTS LIKE STEALTH, ETC. YOU SLEPT WHILE THEY SET THE TRAP. Since the above information came to light, the Cartel's "beast", comprising the largest computer complex in the world, has now expanded to Luxembourg. This gigantic apparatus, capable of numbering every person on earth, ties in with the European Common Market (CLUE, CHELAS), which is rapidly amalgamating the various trade and monetary systems of Western European nations in preparation for the larger global unification project. To make the cashless global monetary system a foolproof surveillance vehicle, the Cartel must ultimately: l. Assign every global citizen a personal identification number so that each financial transaction recorded by the central computer can be linked to an individual by his number. 2. Imprint his personal identification number in the flesh of each citizen--with either a microchip implant or a laser tattoo--so that I.D. cannot be lost, stolen or faked. The nationally disseminated Senior Scholastic magazine explained to American students the Cartel's ultimate design: "All buying and selling in the program will be done by computer. No currency, no change, no checks. In the program, people would receive a number that had been assigned them tattooed in their wrist or forehead. The number is put on by a laser beam and cannot be felt. The number in the body is not seen with the naked eye and is as permanent as your fingerprints. All items of consumer goods will be marked with a computer mark. The computer outlet in the store which picks up the number in the person's body and automatically totals the price and deducts the amount from the person's Special Drawing Rights account." Topic: SIX-SIX-SIX------6-6-6 - Chap 17 For some unexplained reason, numerous components of the Cartel's supranational economic system consistently employ patterns of TRIPLE SIXES. An example is the Universal Product Code, developed by Corporate America. This code is the square of numbers and symbols which a clerk passes across a laser scanner when you purchase a consumer item. Researcher Dr. Mary Relfe spent thousands of dollars investigating the origin and development of the Universal Product Code. She discovered that, whatever the code design, it is INVARIABLY built upon a framework of THREE code bars presenting the number SIX. She also found that the three six-bars are generally the ONLY bars in the code NOT assigned cardinal numbers. This suggests that the originators of the code may wish to obscure the 6-6-6 basis of the universal coding system. The Cartel may be a bit paranoid that citizens might somehow connect its 6-6-6 system with the global dictatorship described in the Bible. Slated to arise shortly before the return of Jesus the Christ, this dictatorship is described by John the Revelator as a BEAST. John said the BEAST would be enormously anti-Christian and that it would KILL citizens who refuse to cooperate with, i.e., "worship" the system. John prophesied: "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive the mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath under-standing count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." The Cartel's central apparatus for its global monetary system is the World Bank, an agency for the United Nations. By some odd coincidence, the World Bank code number is: The Bible bears witness that the global monetary dictatorship of the BEAST will ultimately become a nightmare for EVERYONE because it is sponsored by SATAN himself! Therefore, Christians are ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to accept in their flesh the Mark of the BEAST. John warned: ". . . If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out with-out mixture into the cup of his indignation. . ." Well, it is going to take some clever maneuvering indeed for you are already listed in the system--so be it, we shall just tred along on the eggshells as long as we can. New IRS requirements are augmenting the assignation of a social security number to nearly everyone in the United States, even tiny babes. This is significant because a citizen's social security identification number is the NUMBER OF HIS NAME. An American can conduct almost no important financial transactions without reporting the number of his name. Unless he presents his social security number, an American cannot: l. Work for mainstream employers. 2. Receive government benefits. 3. File an income tax return. 4. Obtain insurance or get a bank loan. IS ANY OF THIS RINGING IN YOUR HEAD? ARE YOU PICKING UP SOME CLUES? DO YOU BEGIN TO SEE HOW A CORPORATION OF UNKNOWN OWNERSHIP IN NEVADA CAN HELP YOU? DEAR ONES, THE OPTIONS WILL BE SO FEW---FEW INDEED. The technology for both laser tattooing and microchip implanting is now well-advanced. When the global monetary system makes it MANDATORY for every citizen to have the number of his name imprinted into his flesh, he WILL COMPLY or he will be COMPLETELY CUT-OFF. He will have to barter with like-minded people to survive in meager circumstances. In most cases, he will probably forfeit his job and/or retirement benefits. If he is in debt, he will likely lose his home or other tangible assets. Such will be the power of the BEAST in his zenith. Yet, those who allow themselves to be "branded" by the BEAST will also suffer horribly. There will apparently be some type of health risk, possibly CONNECTED TO LASER RADIATION USED TO SCAN THE NUMBER IN THE FLESH. John said: ". . . and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." Could this mean "logo"? The Bible declares that those who KNOWINGLY accept the mark of the BEAST are symbolically worshipping Satan and his PLAN. Therefore, these people will suffer spiritually. John described their terrible reward: "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up of ever and ever; and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Because The Plan is unleashing rapid, radical change in America, it would be advisable for you, dear reader, if you have not already done so, to obtain a copy of the Bible and study the Book of Revelations, Chapters 1-22. The time is speedily approaching when you will necessarily make choices that will greatly impact your future, both in this life and the next. Before you make decisions of such magnitude, why not use the Sacred Record to examine, at close range, the origin and motives of the BEAST? Dharma, let us bring this to a close for this segment. I see that you are most fatigued from such a long day. If you are fresh enough to work later this night, we shall attempt it, if not, then take your rest on this your Christmas Eve. The glory shall be unto you ones, chelas, who labor long in the Father's vineyards. In love and deepest appreciation, I move to stand-by. I am ever in thy service. SALU, SALU, SALU HATONN TO CLEAR FREQUENCY, PLEASE. Topic: CHAPTER 18 From: REC #1 HATONN Date: MONDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1989 6:00 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 131 Topic: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEWTON DAY! - Chap 18 On this early Christmas morning, I come to sit with you for a while, Dharma. I see the sadness in your heart, the heaviness -- the acknowledgment that things are no easier nor abundant than that of last year and the year before. No, precious ones, the world is not better this season--it is far worse than in all of history. Bits of colored paper, Christmas trees and turkey dinners will not make of it better. We are doing here that which will make it better. Aho! Much propaganda is strewn about during the Holy Seasons that no one notices that which is going on. Your military leaders say they "ran Noriega to the ground"; they ran him nowhere. This invasion of Panama has run the peoples to the ground; they have no food, their businesses are destroyed, people killed and yet the lie abounds. One act of terrorism does not diminish the doubling of terrorism. That police force shall overrun your homes if you do not act before the death knell rings throughout your homeland. It is a saddened world indeed. That which will happen now in those beloved places that have stood and fought and died for freedom, is that they shall now fall prey to the BEAST and the Cartel just as planned. They will find they must "borrow" and accept aid for they cannot function without assistance---they will simply now sell their countries to the mongrels. So be it. It is headed for your local doorsteps wherever you abide in this world. There are many ones this day who have set aside the festivities to finish our work in a timely manner--you only "feel" isolated and alone. You must do these things for the wondrous peace within for few of your fellowmen shall give appreciation to you ones who carry of the banner--it is the way of the journey. There is not reverence unto me this day in your masses--it is a most Holy day for material oriented Satan--they even dub his name Santa--how sad for mankind. So be it, chela, let us move onward for every day is most precious indeed. I give the benediction of peace unto you ones of truth and rest in the promise that your works will be blessed. The King of Darkness reigns this day; not the Prince of Light---you were told it would be thusly brought to bear. Do not dismay for we have much to do. I AM SANANDA OF GOD, THE CAPTAIN OF THIS SHIP--YOU SHALL BE GIVEN THE WAY.

Topic: THE GLOBAL POLICE FORCE - Chap 18 Oh yes, it is coming and it is coming down hard--you already taste of it in the judicial system which is corrupt and evil, in the IRS which is corrupt and evil and even in your local law enforcers who are chosen for their intent of control and power. Of course there are good men among the groups, but oh, chelas, so few in these days of preparation for the big changes. There can be no wondrously warm and gentle men in the forces which shall carry out the orders of the elite. Did you not see the children in the military circumstance in Panama--they are but youngsters who do the bidding of the hardened and evil oriented directors. Did you see Mr. Bush or Mr. Cheney in the fray? Nay, they sat and gave little tokens of "how fair and just was your son's death" to the ones who would never overcome the loss of a beloved lifestream. The generals sit in their air-conditioned rooms and direct the death marches and citizens back at home pronounce opinions of nonsense. WAR IS A STUPID PLOY OF EVIL---BUT YOU HAVE BILLIONS OF WAR TOYS, THEREFORE, YOU HAVE TO USE THEM ON SOMETHING---DO YOU NOT? SO BE IT. Cartel spokesmen complain that a weakness of the United Nations has been its lack of ENFORCEMENT ACTION against "aggressor nations". On cinching up the enforcement authority of the Cartel's global bureaucracy, Richard Gardner says: "Finally, we will need to find better ways of enforcing the rules, as by multilateral action that denies benefits and applies punishments." Military force is needed to punish nations who do not conform to world law, as promulgated by the world government. Therefore, according to Richard Falk, the creation of an unchallengeable global police authority is a "first and central priority". The name of the game is DOMINATION! He says: "Again, disarmament can proceed successfully only if accompanied by centralization of the power/authority structure that dominates the newly-disarmed units (nations)." In 1961, the U.S. State Department, operating under iron-fisted control of Cartel agents, issued State Department Publication 7277. This document explains the master plan for creating a global police force that will "dominate" all disarmed nations, including the United States. It reads in part: "Set forth as the objectives of a program of general and complete disarmament in a peaceful world: "The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their re-establishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to the United Nation's peace force; the elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations peace force and for maintaining internal order. "The establishment and effective operation of an international disarmament organization within the framework of the United Nations to insure compliance with all disarmament obligations. "And, no state would have a military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. peace force." John F. Kennedy was groomed for his presidency at the Cartel's Fabian socialist London School of Economic and Political Science. Kennedy submitted to a disarmament committee in Geneva a treaty called Blueprint for the Peace Race. The key provision of this formal treaty is the creation of a United Nations "peacekeeping" force so powerful that no nation could defy its dictates. This proposal is still pending. The United Nations already has the power to police the world. All nations which have signed the U.N. Charter agree to: 1. Permit the U.N. Security Council to deploy U.N. military forces against a perceived enemy by air, sea, or land "as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security" (U.N. Charter, Chapter 7, Article 42). 2. Provide the U.N. "every assistance" for its military actions and refrain from giving assistance to a nation against which the U.N. is taking "preventive or enforcement action" (U.N. Charter, Chapter 1, Article 2). 3. Make available to the Security Council: armed forces, assistance and facilities, including rights of passage, and make "immediately available national air-force contingents for combined international enforcement action" (U.N. Charter, Chapter 7, Article 45). Thus, in the name of PEACE, the United Nations Charter creates and empowers a GLOBAL AGGRESSOR with authority to wage war against individual nations. As articulated by J. Reuben Clark Jr., who served as U.S. Undersecretary of State: "The Charter will not certainly end war. In the first place, there is no provision in the Charter itself that contemplates ending war. It is true that the Charter provides for force to bring peace, but such use of force is in itself war. The Charter is a war document, not a peace document." Topic: FURTHER, AMERICANS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT - Chap 18 1. ALTHOUGH THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL DECIDES WHETHER OR NOT TO TAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTION, THE ACTUAL CONTROL AND COMMAND OF U.N. TROOPS BELONGS TO THE UNDERSECRETARY-GENERAL FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL AND SECURITY COUNCIL AFFAIRS. 2. THE UNDERSECRETARY-GENERAL FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL AND SECURITY COUNCIL AFFAIRS HAS ALWAYS BEEN--AND WILL IN THE FUTURE ALWAYS BE--APPOINTED BY THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION. THIS IS PER AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN U.S. AND SOVIET DELEGATES ATTENDING THE FIRST MEETING OF THE U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN LONDON IN 1945. Right now, the U.N. Undersecretary-General for the Department of Political and Security Council Affairs is Soviet official Vasily S. Safronchuk. Safronchuk is NUMBER ONE authority in charge of all U.N. military personnel, "peacekeeping" missions, disarmament and atomic energy matters. Once the Cartel completes its disarmament plan, all disarmed nations of the world will be policed by the Soviet Communist Party working through the United Nations as a front. Topic: UNDERSTAND THE DOMINATORS - Chap 18 You can project the fate of all nations---slated to be "dominated" by the Soviet-operated world police force---by looking at what the United Nations Security Council did to Africa in the early Sixties. At that time, the Belgian Congo (now Zaire) was under the brutal control of Soviet proxy and terrorist, Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba had issued a directive calling for imprisonment and torture of those who resisted his dictatorship. Anti-communist leader Moise Tshombe, backed by a large army, organized the province of Katanga to secede from Lumumba's terrorist state. Tshombe declared that under his leadership, Katanga would enjoy a Western-style government based on principles drawn from the U.S. Constitution. Tshombe greatly admired the U.S. Constitution. By resolution of the U.N. Security Council, thousands of U.N. troops under command of Soviet official, Georgy Arkadev, were transported by U.S. Air Force planes to peaceful little Katanga. Their mission was to help the Marxist terrorist Lumumba put a bloody end to Tshombe's ideas of self-determination. Lumumba's troops, backed by U.N. forces, swarmed through Katanga on a rampage of rape and murder and cannibalism. So savage were their acts against civilians, including women and children, that one journalist, an eyewitness, called them "wild barbarians---determined to annihilate the last bastion of civilization that remains in Katanga". Forty-six medical doctors, observing hideous massacres, sent this urgent message to J.F. Kennedy and the Pope: "SOS TO THE MORAL CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD--STOP--IMPLORE YOU TO INTERVENE WITH ALL YOUR AUTHORITY TO STOP THE TERRORIST BOMBARDMENT OF HOSPITALS AND CIVILIAN POPULATIONS BY UNO---ON OUR HONOR AS PHYSICIANS WE DECLARE AS LIES THE DENIALS OF UNO SECRETARY GENERAL. (The U.N. secretary-general was Leninist, U. Thant.) World renowned humanitarian, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, also demanded that U.N. troops be withdrawn from Katanga. He declared that the mission of the United Nations should NOT be to make war. A U.S. senator, present in the Congo during U.N. operations there, testified before the Senate that the United Nations had brought "chaos and bloodshed" to the Congo. But mass genocide has always been part of The Plan. The Cartel cannot consolidate its socialist world order if independent leaders establish little niches of freedom. Thus, U.N. forces annihilated Tshombe's liberation movement and brought the Congo under absolute control of Lumumba's Marxist successor, Cyrille Adoula. His dictatorship was called "peace". The United Nations still operates exclusively in the interests of the Marxist agenda. Thus, in 1988, Gorbachev called for U.N. intervention in Afghanistan. Watch for an accelerating increase in deployment of U.N. forces to trouble spots throughout the world. Third World dictators will call for U.N. assistance. The Soviets will "acquiesce" to U.N. "peacekeeping" arrangements like that in the works for Marxist Angola where the U.N. will undoubtedly help annihilate anti-communist forces there. While the dupes of the West are told that U.N. troops are preventing global conflagration, nation after nation will be sucked into the new world order by Vasily Safronchuk and his Kremlin bosses. Consider the 1988 agreement--arranged by the U.S. State Department and signed by the Marxist dictators of Angola and Cuba--under which the African nation of Namibia is to be brought to totalitarian "independence". Under this agreement, 7,500 U.N. troops and 1,500 world order bureaucrats will supervise the withdrawal from Namibia of South African troops, the disarmament of Namibian territorial forces and the transfer from Marxist Angola to Namibia of 9,000 Soviet-backed, Cuban-trained SWAPO guerrillas, renowned for their terrorist atrocities against civilians. The radical Marxist SWAPO (South-West African People's Organization) is recognized as "the sole and authentic representative of Namibia" by the United Nations. Thus, Vasily Safronchuk and his U.N. police force are authorized to supervise Namibian "elections" in order to place SWAPO leaders in control of what will certainly emerge as a Marxist dictatorship. The fate of Namibians will be that of all Soviet slaves. Installing a SWAPO dictatorship in Namibia will cost the United Nations $600 million, one-third of which will be paid by American taxpayers. As congress discusses innovative ways to plunder the American bourgeoisie in order to "reduce the budget deficit", not one self-serving politician will DARE SUGGEST that--instead of raising taxes--perhaps the Namibian Sovietization project should be cut from the U.S.-U.N. budget. SWAPO TOOK NAMIBIA IN NOVEMBER 1989! Topic: BIND IT TOGETHER - Chap 18 Because The Plan calls for a world police force dominated by the Soviets, it is little wonder that Saul Mendlovitz, chief theoretician for the World Order Models Project, openly admits that world government is likely to evolve into a totalitarian entity. He has stated: "It is my considered judgment that there is no longer a question whether or not there will be world government by the year 2000. As I see it, the questions we should be addressing ourselves to are: how it will come into being--by cataclysm, drift, rational design?--and whether it will be totalitarian, benign, or participatory? (The probabilities being in that order.)" World order propagandists defend the totalitarian aspect of The Plan by insisting that only through coercion can socialist bureaucrats save the world from fear and economic privation. The Cartel's radical Americans for Democratic Action has stated that it is possible for a police state to be obedient to the popular will. This is typical Marxist propaganda which contends that populations enduring a police state GLADLY IMPOSE UPON THEMSELVES THE STRANGULATING TERROR OF MARTIAL LAW. Cartel elite have always stressed that a police state is necessary for CONTROL of the bovine masses. It is greatly relevant, as we documented earlier, that Doug Dillon--guiding force behind the World Order Models Project and advocate of radical constitutional reform--is inextricably connected to the rise of Hitler and the National Socialist movement of Nazi Germany. Consider also the personal philosophy of John Foster Dulles, founding father of the United Nations and U.S. Secretary of State. Dulles was related to the Rockefeller family by marriage. Through his law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, Dulles arranged financing for Adolph Hitler. He also served as Joseph Stalin's legal counsel in the United States. In 1940, Dulles outlined what he considered the virtues of totalitarianism: "How are we to overcome the obstacles created by pride and selfishness? We can get rid of them only by replacing them by some sentiment more dominant and gripping and which will contain in it the elements of universality as against particularity. "This is no visionary dream. Before us today we have the spectacle of Communism and Fascism changing almost overnight the characteristics of entire peoples. Millions of individuals have been made into different and, on the whole, finer people. Elemental virtues are again treated as matters of concern. Immoralities and dishonestness, personal prides and prejudices are replaced by courage, self-sacrifice and discipline. There is a conscious subordination of self to the end that some great objective may be furthered." George Bernard Shaw, godfather of the Fabian Society (founded by British disciples of Karl Marx) and an ardent supporter of The Plan, also expressed delight with brutal dictatorship. In 1931, during the heyday of Stalin's psychotic purges, Shaw toured Russia on behalf of the Cartel's European faction to observe the fruits of Soviet socialism. He declared: "It is a real comfort to me, an old man, to be able to step into my grave with the knowledge that the civilization of the world will be saved. It is here in Russia that I have actually been convinced that the new Communist system is capable of leading mankind out of its present crisis, and saving it from complete anarchy and ruin." Bertrand Russell, another world order pioneer and an active leader of Parliamentarians for World Government, was an adamant proponent of a global police authority. He explained why the global disarmament plan will NOT alleviate the threat of nuclear weapons: "When I speak of international government, I mean one that really governs, not an amiable facade like the League of Nations or a pretentious sham like the United Nations under its present constitution. An international government must have the only atomic bombs, the only plant for producing them, the only air force, the only battleships, and generally whatever is necessary to make it irresistible." Richard Falk emphasizes the "central guidance system" will maintain A NUCLEAR ARSENAL TO ENFORCE ITS DICTATES: " . . the goal of disarmament will be to eliminate national military establishments. Residual and nominal nuclear arsenals of fixed specifications will be maintained in ten centers of power/authority, each subject to dual control activation and requiring the participation of a designated official, or his appointed deputy." Once the Cartel's global bureaucracy becomes THE IRRESISTIBLE NUCLEAR POWER, it will have the means to enforce a brutal global police state. (Are you getting a bit anxious to get those survival shelters?) Dr. Leo Szilard, a top scientist for the Manhattan Project, told a group of scientists in 1961: "It is my contention that the only way to make the Court (World Court) effective, is to empower the Court to impose the death penalty for failure to appear in Court, when summoned. The Court would deputize any and all American citizens to try and execute the sentence. An American citizen killing an "outlaw" could not be legally tried for murder in an American court, inasmuch as the treaty setting up the Court would be the law of the land. In addition to relying on American citizens thus deputized, the Court could employ perhaps 500 to 1,000 marshals. It would be the duty of the marshals to try to execute the death sentence imposed by the Court." The Plan calls for regional police reserves of 50,000-75,000 per unit. These regional forces, controlled by the central police authority, would ensure that all citizens obey the orders of world government bureaucrats. Richard Falk notes: "Participation in these security activities would be a great honor and would be rewarded with high pay. Members would receive a sophisticated education and would be expected to be exemplary citizens of the World Policy." NOT GOOD CITIZENS BUT RATHER EXEMPLARY CITIZENS OF THE WORLD POLICY. Cartel theoretician Payson S. Wild Jr. admitted years ago that if world government is to be effective, INDIVIDUAL citizens must be terrorized into submission by the world police. Apparently envisioning a global version of the KGB, he wrote: "Dealing with an entire state as a criminal has its psychological as well as military and other practical difficulties, but international police would not confine their functions to operations against whole nations. They could and should operate against individual persons. In fact, the main job of such a force may be that of enforcing law against private persons." As an evolutionary step towards a global police state, the Cartel created, through its congressional puppets, the Omnibus Crime Control Act of 1968. This legislation engendered the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). Along with numerous state laws and federal funding schemes, LEAA is gradually forging local police forces, county sheriff's departments and National Guard units into a centrally-controlled national police force. This computerized national law enforcement network is slated to fall under jurisdiction of the GLOBAL POLICE FORCE sometime around the year 2000. Remember, the U.S. State Department has announced that the ultimate goal is "general and complete disarmament" including individual Americans, since privately-owned weapons could be used to challenge global authority. Lenin, who led the Cartel-backed Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, commanded his terrorists to "make mass searches and hold executions for found arms". He declared: "Only the Soviets can effectively disarm the bourgeoisie. Unless this is done, the victory of socialism is impossible." World order propagandists ridicule Americans who own arms as "warmongers" and "Rambo-types". Richard Falk complains: "Prevailing ethical attitudes in the United States support domestic reliance on the war system. The failure of Congress to enact effective legislation prohibiting hand gun sales is indicative." The Cartel's program of "dynamic gradualism" has placed increasingly burdensome requirements on the PRIVATE ownership of firearms. Gun registration is, according to former Congressman John Rarick, the forerunner of arms confiscation. After relinquishing ALL of her weapons to a Soviet-dominated global police force--slated to enforce the edicts of the World Court--the United States will cease to be a sovereign nation-state. America will be considered merely a regional unit of the Cartel's global eco-political system. The Cartel has been very blatant about the ultimate design of The Plan. But nowhere have we found a more brazen declaration than that of Cartel dignitary Walt Rostow, in his day, chairman of the State Department Policy Planning Board: ROSTOW ANNOUNCED: " . . . IT IS A LEGITIMATE AMERICAN NATIONAL OBJECTIVE TO SEE REMOVED FROM ALL NATIONS--INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES--THE RIGHT TO USE SUBSTANTIAL MILITARY FORCE TO PURSUE THEIR OWN INTERESTS. SINCE THIS RESIDUAL RIGHT IS THE ROOT OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND THE BASIS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF AN INTERNATIONAL ARENA OF POWER, IT IS, THEREFORE, AN AMERICAN INTEREST TO SEE AN END TO NATIONHOOD AS IT HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY DEFINED." So be it, chela, let us allow this to seep within the brains while you take respite. Please do not longer hide your heads in the buckets of dirt. EVERYTHING has been planned, from the drugs to lull you into stupor, to the rise of Satanism, to the false "war on drugs" to get you behind all efforts to CONTROL and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM---well, "they" are doing something about your problems---I hope you are ready for long, hard and cold winters and a lot of bloodshed---YOURS! When we return we shall discuss how the "machine" runs. It is expected that you "stupid" "capitalist" American citizens will surrender while pleading for more controls---"capitalists have traditionally surrendered with 'far more cowardice than the Marxist scheme predicted'." THAT, DEAR FRIENDS, CAME FROM CARTEL HISTORIAN ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, PRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR TO JOHN F. KENNEDY. HOW SAFE DO YOU FEEL THIS DAY? WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE THEY MURDERED MR. KENNEDY? THINK ABOUT IT! I move to stand-by that we might draw this segment to a close. Thank you for your willing service on this your Christmas Day Holiday. Blessings be unto you and yours on this day of remembering. Salu. HATONN TO CLEAR FREQUENCY, PLEASE. Topic: CHAPTER 19 From: REC #2 HATONN Date: MONDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1989 11:45 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 131 Hatonn present to resume in order that we can examine this "machine" which is being created to walk all over your freedom. Topic: THE HAMMER - Chap 19 According to a pre-determined formula, Americans are to be herded into the socialist world order through threat of violence. It is understood by the Cartel that peoples of the world, especially those who have tasted sweet liberty, must be blackmailed into accepting the tyranny of The Plan. In 1962, Cartel strategist Dr. Lincoln P. Bloomfield wrote in A WORLD EFFECTIVELY CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED NATIONS: " . . . if the communist dynamic was greatly abated, the West might lose whatever incentive it has for world government." This mindset explains why, from the day the Cartel placed Lenin in power, the political, financial and industrial prowess of America has been used to construct the Soviet war machine. World War II was a watershed. The Cartel financed Hitler's rise to power. Then, through trickery and deceit, Cartel agents launched America into the war for the EXPRESS PURPOSE of building a formidable Soviet military apparatus under cover of wartime emergency. Between 1941-1946, the Cartel harnessed American taxpayers, groaning under the burden of the war, to finance a 12 BILLION DOLLAR military modernization program for Joseph Stalin. Through an international welfare program called Lend-Lease, U.S. officials transferred to the Soviets military hardware, industrial secrets and $300,000,000 in cash. Helping to grease the skids for this major Cartel project was Averell Harriman, cast in a dual role as top U.S. official in charge of Lend-Lease for Russia and U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union. Harriman was a member of the Brotherhood of Death, the Cartel's secret society based at Yale. He was also an original Wall Street sponsor of the Bolshevik Revolution. On orders from Franklin Roosevelt, U.S. military aid to Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin took PRIORITY throughout the war. Stalin's demands for copper wire took priority over the U.S. Navy's requirements for repair of battleships damaged at Pearl Harbor. Stalin's demand for 3,000 pursuit planes was met by stripping every other Allied front. His demand for marine engines was met to the detriment of General MacArthur's forces. Between 1942-1943, Cartel agents shipped to Joseph Stalin both the PLANS and MATERIALS for the production of atomic weapons (OUCH!). Congressional investigators confirmed in 1949 that these transfers were facilitated by: THE WHITE HOUSE (HARRY HOPKINS, PRESIDENTIAL ADVISOR), THE LEND-LEASE ADMINISTRATION, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, THE PROCUREMENT DIVISION OF THE U.S. TREASURY, THE BOARD OF ECONOMIC WARFARE AND THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT. Major General Leslie R. Goves, chief of America's top-secret Manhattan Project which developed the nuclear bomb, told congressional investigators that there was NO WAY the Soviets could have obtained American uranium products without the knowledge and assistance of TOP U.S. OFFICIALS! Joseph Stalin was history's foremost mass-murderer. He was so deranged that he ordered even his personal physician to be chained and tortured in a prison cell. In 1949, Stalin detonated his first atomic bomb. On behalf of The Plan, the Cartel had deliberately handed this demonic maniac the ultimate instrument of mass genocide. In 1982, Senator William Armstrong told the U.S. Senate that America is still bearing the burden of two defense budgets: "our own, and a significant portion of the Soviet Union's". U.S. News and World Report noted in 1984: "From high flying interceptors to missiles with pinpoint accuracy, the Soviet Union is deploying the latest products of defense technology--direct from United States laboratories. For example, the Atoll missile that the Soviets used to shoot down the Korean airliner last September (the civilian air liner with the Cartel's arch-enemy Congressman Lawrence McDonald aboard) was a carbon copy of the American Sidewinder." One U.S. Secretary of the Navy recently told naval officers: "Within weeks, many of you will be looking across just hundreds of feet of water at some of the most modern technology ever invented in America. Unfortunately, it is on Soviet ships." NO, DEAR ONES, I WOULD NEVER JOSH ABOUT SUCH INCREDIBLY HORRENDOUS FACTS. IT IS TRUTH. Since World War II, the same U.S. corporations awarded lucrative defense contracts to help defend America against the "Soviet threat" have simultaneously built and modernized the Soviet war machine. One of these is General Electric, among the oldest of Cartel corporations. A 1986 ad in the Journal of the U.S.-U.S.S.R Trade and Economic Council celebrated G.E.'s commitment to "progressive cooperation" with the Soviet "vision of an industrial future". Professor Richard Pipes of Harvard offers this perspective: "The industrial assistance given to the Soviet Union helps its military effort by strengthening the Soviet wartime mobilization base. The so-called 'dual-use' technology, lavishly sold to the U.S.S.R. in the 1960s and especially the 1970s, has had a most impressive effect in enhancing Soviet military power." Another illustrious corporate backer of the Soviet war machine is Dresser Industries of Houston. Dresser has been "working with Soviet industry" since the early Sixties when the Vietnam War was a roaring conflagration. Dresser Industries completed a multimillion dollar drill bit plant at Kuibyshev, providing the Soviets with the machinery and technology they need for oil exploration and for monitoring U.S. submarines. Dresser Industries also advertises heavily in the Journal of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council. Their ad shows they maintain offices in Moscow and shows side-by-side flags which is yet another confirmation that the Soviet eco-political system is built upon a mighty foundation of Western megacorporations and demonstrates why Americans may justifiably consider Mikhail Gorbachev, Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party, a FRONT MAN FOR CORPORATE AMERICA. The world's foremost expert on the transfer of strategic technology from American megacorporations to the U.S.S.R. is Dr. Antony Sutton. Dr. Sutton is a former research fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. After decades of investigation of government files and corporate records, Sutton has compiled mountains of data, including the monumental three-volume WESTERN TECHNOLOGY AND SOVIET ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Sutton concludes: "Our technical build-up of the Soviets is a deliberate policy. THE POLICY IS NOT AN ACCIDENT. THE POLICY IS NOT BASED ON ERRONEOUS OR INADEQUATE INFORMATION. Western policy makers and businessmen know precisely the contribution of our technology to the Soviet military industrial complex." Effort after effort has been made to silence Dr. Sutton. Honor this wondrous man who is willing to run the risk of his very life in sending forth information. He does a newsletter which excels all but a very few documents in value. America is in serious jeopardy, serious indeed. Anyone who cares to examine the facts will discover that the Cartel has deliberately created the Soviet military machine for the express purpose of blackmail. Americans are now continually told that they have only two choices: ANNIHILATION OF THE PLANET OR THE PLAN! Note carefully the opening phrases of the Cartel's Declaration of INTERdependence: "WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HISTORY THE THREAT OF EXTINCTION CONFRONTS MANKIND, IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES TO DECLARE THEIR INTERDEPENDENCE WITH THE PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS, AND TO EMBRACE THOSE PRINCIPLES AND BUILD THOSE INSTITUTIONS WHICH WILL ENABLE MANKIND TO SURVIVE AND CIVILIZATION TO FLOURISH. "TWO CENTURIES AGO, OUR FOREFATHERS BROUGHT FORTH A NEW NATION; NOW WE MUST JOIN WITH OTHERS TO BRING FORTH A NEW WORLD ORDER." ====>> Continued in Cry Of The Phoenix part 15 <<================ Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?

J. Vermillion - Winter Park, FL Lines: 641 ====>> Cry Of The Phoenix part 15 <<============================= Topic: THE SICKLE - Chap 19 We shall now scrutinize the Cartel's Soviet military machine. We draw technical data from information recently published by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, the U.S. Department of Defense and the 141-member Committee on the Present Danger--among others which we will protect in the best manner possible--anonymity. You can check on all these documents and references as they will all be placed in the appendix of this Journal. I do not, however, intend to make it easy for any enemy to locate any one of our fellow-authors. The references shall simply be placed in order of appearance in these few chapters, without reference as to location----you ones do some of your own homework. The major purpose of this document is to get circulation to such extent that the original research team is protected in confusion and misdirection of first intent. You who know the difference---it is obvious it is better to keep your mouth shut for the tongue is the most deadly weapon of all. I am pushing this scribe and this team day and night to get this out to cover the earth based team. It is a frightening world down there, brothers. We hold you in our care to the best of our ability. Topic: TOTAL SOVIET ICBMs - Chap 19 The Soviet war machine is founded on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). ICBMs are large, land-based missiles which carry nuclear warheads. If you count reloads, the Soviets now have at least 20,200 ICBM warheads. That is more than 400 nuclear warheads for each of 50 American states. Soviet warheads can be delivered with precision accuracy--to within a circular error of 180 YARDS at the end of an 8000-mile flight. The credit for Soviet missile accuracy goes to Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and the Departments of State and Commerce. In 1972, while Americans were still dying in Vietnam, the Nixon-Kissinger regime sold the Soviets precision grinding machines manufactured ONLY by BRYANT CHUCKING GRINDER COMPANY OF VERMONT. The Soviets needed these machines for the manufacture of ball bearings vital for inertial navigation systems on the ICBMs which deliver MULTIPLE warheads. This sale was made despite objections from the Department of Defense. This sale was no oversight, no stupid mistake. Nixon knew that in 1961, the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security had concluded that an earlier Department of Commerce decision to grant a license for export of Bryant ball bearing grinders to the Soviets was of "life and death importance to America" and "a grave error". Credit for Soviet missile accuracy also goes to U.S. computer brokers like Control Data Corporation, with corporate offices in Minnesota and Moscow. CDC, with links to the KGB's U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economics Council, provides the Soviets with state-of-the-art computer systems for missile guidance. Congress is apparently incapable of intervening in the great computer technology flow to the Soviets. Topic: SOVIET POWER AT SEA - Chap 19 Over 100 Soviet ballistic missile submarines can deliver to U.S. targets the Soviet arsenal of some 2,000 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). Two hundred twenty Soviet cruise missile subs can deliver to U.S. territory hundreds of sea-launched cruise missiles. Understand that the Soviets have over 300 nuclear-capable submarines; the U.S. has 39. Soviet subs continually lurk off both of America's coastal regions, where over 50 percent of this nation's population, industry and infrastructure is located. Nuclear warheads launched from these Soviet subs can hit ground zero (Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Washington, D.C.) within ten minutes of launching. SLBMs are capable of generating an electromagnetic pin-down effect against America's ICBMs until these can be destroyed by Soviet ICBMs. PLEASE REFER TO SURVIVAL IS ONLY TEN FEET FROM HELL. Open your eyes, the sky IS falling! On you! Topic: SOVIET AIR POWER - Chap 19 The Soviets have 6,800 nuclear delivery aircraft. Many, including the Bear H bombers, can deliver to the continental United States air-launched nuclear missiles. Soviet bombers are often observed in training flights simulating attacks against North America. Topic: SOVIET HOMELAND DEFENSE - Chap 19 Despite the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which they have massively violated, the Soviets have developed an extensive air defense network in the U.S.S.R. This defense system includes 7,000 radars, 1,200 air defense interceptor aircraft and 10,000 surface-to-air missiles which can intercept both ballistic and cruise missiles. A full-scale ABM defense system will make Soviet territory nearly invincible by the end of 1989----THAT IS THIS WEEK, BROTHERS! Topic: SOVIET SPACE WEAPONS - Chap 19 The Soviet space program, supplied by American corporations and fine-tuned by the joint U.S.-Soviet space project (Apollo-Soyuz 1973-1979), is designed specifically to augment Soviet military operations. Soviet space technology is so advanced that the Soviets operate some 50 types of space systems. These include space stations, reconnaissance vehicles and a massive fleet of satellites designed for special communications, imagery reconnaissance, and electronic intelligence. Soviet satellite systems continually monitor U.S. and NATO military exercises and they track U.S. submarines. The Soviets have deployed the world's ONLY operational anti-satellite (ASAT) system, which can destroy ALL OF THE U.S. MILITARY AND COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITES BY EXPLODING CONVENTIONAL WARHEADS. America's nuclear attack warning system is mainly satellite-based. In 1982, when the Soviets rehearsed a trial run for a nuclear war, their FIRST MOVE WAS TO DESTROY THE ENEMY'S SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS. Topic: SOVIET FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY - Chap 19 Thousands of Soviet scientists are perfecting laser weapons, particle beam weapons, radio frequency weapons, kinetic energy weapons and advanced computer and sensor technology that will make the Soviet homeland defense impenetrable. Soviet researchers are working at an advanced stage with scalar electromagnetics to affect weather patterns and to create a new class of weapons which can destroy or neutralize weapons and personnel in vast areas without permanent contamination. THIS IS A REALLY SERIOUS POINT. Topic: CENTRAL AMERICA - Chap 19 The Soviet military machine, based in Cuba and Nicaragua, was created and is nurtured by the U.S. Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). These are the chief bureaucracies through which the Cartel is preparing nations of the Western Hemisphere for the socialist world order. Former New York Times reporter Tad Szulc notes that while the U.S. State Department slapped an arms embargo on the pro-American Batista government in Cuba, the CIA was secretly providing Castro's insurgency forces with arms and money for Marxist revolution in Cuba. Earl T. Smith, U.S. Ambassador to Cuba during the Communist revolution there, has testified that Soviet proxy Fidel Castro could not have seized power in Cuba without assistance from the U.S. government. He confirms that "American government agencies and the United States press played a major role in bringing Castro to power." This has also been confirmed by congressional investigations. YOU WILL NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT THE RESULTS OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS ARE EITHER MARKED "TOP SECRET" AND SECURED AWAY OR JUST NEVER MAKE IT TO THE PUBLIC NOTICE. Mario Lazo, with ties to the U.S. embassy in pre-Castro Cuba, confirms in DAGGER IN THE HEART that Washington KNOWINGLY selected Castro for his role as Soviet proxy in the Western Hemisphere. Shortly after Castro took power and began executing Cubans by the thousands, he was awarded 55.9 million dollars in goods and 3 million dollars in cash by the U.S. government. Despite theatrics, Castro is an important U.S. agent. Cuba provides the Cartel a staging area for communist subversion which is now engulfing Central America. In 1978, economic assistance was given to the anti-communist Somoza regime of Nicaragua while the CIA hoisted to power the Cuban-backed Frente Sandinista De Liberacion Nacional, the Marxist-Leninist regime which now holds Nicaragua in totalitarian bondage. In 1988, 10,000 Nicaraguans marched in protest, carrying signs reading "Democracy Yes, Communism No". The protesters called their Marxist tormentors "murderous dogs". These murderous dogs were nurtured with tens of millions of dollars in direct economic aid from the Carter administration. Millions of dollars more continued flowing to these criminals via U.S. taxpayer-subsidized loans from the Inter-American Development Bank. U.S. government-approved bank loans to Soviet Bloc nations now enable the Soviets to bankroll Nicaragua through direct military aid. While the brutalized citizens of Nicaragua live in abject destitution, Nicaragua's Marxist dictator, Daniel Ortega, enjoys typical nomenklaturist privilege. In 1986, he paid $3,000 for a pair of designer sun glasses while attending a New York fete in his honor, sponsored by leftist folk singers Peter, Paul and Mary. YOU SEE, THEY KNOW NOT THAT WHICH THEY DO! Ortega, who flits between Moscow, New York and Managua, enjoys support from an influential faction of the U.S. Congress. This faction raises funds for several Marxist fronts, including the National Network in Solidarity with Nicaraguan People and the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador. In addition, the Marxist government of Nicaragua rests upon an economic foundation provided by the Cartel's corporate interlock including IBM, Xerox, Esso Standard Ltd., American Standard, Chevron, General Mills, Intercontinental Hotels, Nabisco Brands, Texaco and United Brands--all of which maintain corporate offices and conduct business inside Nicaragua. The Cartel's leading Marxist front in the United States, the National Council of Churches (an affiliate of the KGB-operated World Council of Churches) --- WOOPS! FINALLY GOT YOUR ATTENTION? SO BE IT, LITTLE CHELAS, SO BE IT!! --- uses tithes from forty million U.S. Christians to fund an influential network of pro-Sandinista propaganda outlets in Nicaragua and the United States. And yes, the contributors think they are doing that which pleases God---it does, it just happens to be the imposter God. Meantime, the CIA directs and funds guerrilla movements which "oppose" the Cartel's Central American Marxist dictatorships. The Cartel's brilliant strategy of "opposing" itself enables America's pro-Marxist leadership to appear virulently "anti-communist". It also enables Cartel agents to identify, neutralize and ultimately destroy LEGITIMATE anti-communist forces which might jeopardize The Plan. The ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion is a classic example of how this devious strategy works. After the CIA put Castro in power, it organized Castro's enemies into a cohesive invasionary force. Through meticulous planning, the CIA-State Department nexus delivered to these anti-communist forces worthless weapons, then canceled promised air support, and led them into Castro's deadly ambush. Mario Lazo describes Cartel betrayal of those brave Cubans who tried so valiantly to free their homeland from Castro's Marxist dictatorship: "The Free Cuban beach commander sent his final message to the American vessels standing off Giron: 'I am destroying all my equipment', he said, 'I have nothing left to fight with. The enemy tanks are already in my position. Farewell, friends'. "For three days the men had fought without rest and with little food or water. The promised supplies had never reached them. Now they had run out of ammunition and food. Gathering their remaining strength, the men crawled into the swamps----almost to a man they were killed or taken prisoner. "I have talked to two American pilots who flew helplessly over the Cuban beaches as Castro's tanks and forces closed in on the final day. One told me he had cursed his orders (to cancel air support); the other said he had cried." The Bay of Pigs sellout was masterminded by Cartel blue-bloods who operated the White House during the Kennedy administration. These included: the raving socialist and presidential advisor, Arthur M. Schlesinger; Walt Rostow, who advocated an end to America's nationhood as historically defined; the sinister McGeorge Bundy (Brotherhood of Death) whose family was involved with assisting the Bolshevik Revolution; the verminous Dean Rusk who, as head of the U.S. State Department, would later tell Americans that the bloody debauchery of the U.N. Katanga operation was necessary "to save the Congo from the communists"; and the pusillanimous John F. Kennedy, who reportedly solicited help from the Mafia to win the presidency, and whose father made his fortune within the syndicate which operates the Cartel's international narcotics industry. DOESN'T ALL THIS BEGIN TO SCARE THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU? WE ARE TALKING VERY, VERY SERIOUS AND GRAVE CONSEQUENCES----I HAVE NO WAY TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MATERIAL UNTO YOU PRECIOUS, MISLED CITIZENS OF THAT WHICH WAS THE MOST WONDROUS NATION OF NATIONS THAT WAS EVER FOUNDED UPON YOUR WORLD. MOST OF YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT NOW. THERE WILL COME THE DAY, TOO SOON, WHEN IT SHALL HIT YOU RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR EYES. After the Bay of Pigs sellout, Kennedy secretly promised Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev that America would never again invade Cuba. Kennedy ordered the arrest of all remaining anti-Castro activists in the U.S. and the confiscation of their weapons and vessels as a precaution against future invasion. GO LOOK AT YOUR HISTORY DOCUMENTS--I DO NOT EVEN EXPECT YOU TO "JUST" BELIEVE ME. GO SEE FOR YOURSELVES IN THE PAGES OF YOUR OWN HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS. The CIA-controlled anti-Sandinista "Contra" movement is likewise doomed to betrayal and annihilation. In 1962, when Soviet ICBMs were still only on the drawing boards, and when the U.S. still held ALL the trump cards militarily, Khrushchev began placing surface-to-air missiles and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in Cuba. It is now known that Kennedy's "tough stand" during the Cuban missile crisis was just another Cartel charade. During a carefully orchestrated showdown, the Cartel was able to work its "global annihilation" theme to maximum advantage. Cartel celebs, including Secretary of State Dean Rusk, pontificated that a misstep could have meant the "incineration" of the North American continent. Khruschev's packing boxes left Cuba, but no one knows what was in them because the White House prohibited the navy from inspecting them. They were probably empty. The Soviets have reneged on their agreement to permit U.S. inspection of Cuban bases. During 1988 congressional hearings, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff admitted that the Soviets could place nuclear missiles in Cuba WITHOUT U.S. DETECTION. There have been numerous reports of nuclear missiles (SS-4s and SS-5s with one-megaton nuclear yield) being stored in Cuban caves. The Soviet war machine in Cuba includes hundreds of nuclear-capable MiG-21's, MiG-23's, Fishhead and Bear bombers. According to a high-level Nicaraguan defector, these aircraft are to be deployed in Nicaragua. Air bases in Nicaragua can now accommodate Soviet aircraft capable of transporting troops, tanks and nuclear missile launchers. Castro's 25 combat-ready divisions are backed by 200,000 Nicaraguan troops. This Soviet machine is quietly building to a level IN EXCESS of the combined unit strength of the entire U.S. Army, National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve. NOW, ARE YOU ABOUT READY TO BEGIN TO CONSIDER THOSE SURVIVAL SHELTERS? NO?----THEN LET US CONTINUE: Topic: EUROPE - Chap 19 In the event of a conventional war in Europe, the Warsaw Pact, comprised of troops from the Soviet Union and the occupied nations of Eastern Europe, can deploy 5-6 million troops; 2,249 battle force ships; 6,750 attack aircraft; 51,900 tanks; 63,390 armored personnel carriers, and 46,300 artillery tubes. The shrewd Soviet ploy of offering to cut its Warsaw Pact troops by 10 percent and remove some of its obsolete tanks from Eastern Europe (for a price, of course) still leaves the Soviets with OVERWHELMING military superiority in Europe. Soviet troops have been specially trained and equipped to unleash chemical and biological warfare agents against American troops in the European theater. The Soviets have vaccines and antidotes which will protect their own troops during a biological/chemical assault against Western Europe. The use of killer toxins will spare the urban-industrial infrastructure of Western Europe so that it can be exploited after a war to Soviet advantage. The technology necessary for chemical warfare has been provided to the Soviets by numerous Western corporations, including Armand Hammer's Occidental Petroleum, DuPont, Monsanto and Rohm and Haas. Establishing hegemony over the Western Europe is a PRIME OBJECTIVE OF SOVIET GRAND STRATEGY as affirmed by top Western military experts, including Richard Pipes. Soviet defector Michael Voslensky confirms that the Soviets (despite their devious "peace" games) are DEADLY SERIOUS ABOUT GLOBAL DOMINATION. He believes that when the time is ripe, the Soviets will seize Western Europe, because its wealth, industry and skilled work force is "of vital importance in answering the question, put by Lenin, of who will beat whom". Would the Soviets risk nuclear war to take Europe? Voslensky says the Soviets want not war but victory, yet "victory crosses the frontier between peace and war and that is where the danger of another world conflagration lies". It is relevant that the Cartel handed Stalin Eastern Europe on a silver platter during the World War II. Voslensky says the Soviets believe that Western Europe will surrender without a fight, a theory confirmed by recent Western European polls. It is strange to note that the most fighting of the system is coming from the Soviet Bloc nations themselves. Have you not witnessed the almost "Holy" way the Europeans welcome Mr. Gorbachev into their midst? They will end up giving their countries away in treaties and joint ventures to "save the world". After Western Europe becomes a giant Soviet satellite, the Soviets will automatically become overlords of the Mediterranean, the Far East, Japan and the small nations of the world. Then America will stand alone--surrounded by a Communist world dedicated to her fiery destruction. How about a survival shelter now? No, not yet? OK, let us continue by doing a little comparative shopping. Dharma, allow this to rest for a while as you need a rest before holiday festivities. Let us just see how the remainder of the day fits into plans for more work and allow it to be comfortable. You have done much beyond that which would be asked on a Christmas Day. Let me offer you love, hope and charity as your gift for this day for as long as there are ones who love and care, there is always hope, for all things are possible with Mother/Father Creator. Salu, Hatonn to clear frequencies. Topic: C
