many  of  the  footnoted  items  sited  in  the  text  of  the  transcripts  and  comments 
from  Matilda  O'Donnell  MacElroy.

Foreword: 


"We  ask,  as  Fools  who  know  not  Our  Own  Spirit: 
Where  are  the  hidden  traces  left  by  The  Gods?" 


— Rig  Veda  —

Preamble 

What  greater  brutality  can  be  inflicted  on  anyone  than  to  erase  or 
deny  the  spiritual  awareness,  identity, 
ability,  and  memory  that  is  the  essence  of  oneself?

Dedication 


This  book  is  dedicated  to  all  Immortal  Spiritual  Beings,  whether  they  are 
aware  of  themselves  as  such,  or  not.  It  is  especially  dedicated  to  the 
wisdom,  courage  and  integrity  of  those  Greater  Beings,  who  in  various 
incarnations  at  various  times  during  the  past,  in  the  present  and  into  the 
future,  enkindle  and  carry  the  Flame  of  Truth  into  the  darkest  corners  of  the 
universe. 

This  dedication  is  not  only  to  the  philosophical  teachings  and  technologies 
developed  by  these  beings,  but  to  the  demonstrated  and  documented 
courage  to  apply  their  philosophy  in  the  face  of  overwhelming  ignorance, 
overt  hostility  and  aggressive  suppression  by  lesser  beings  and  by  the  self- 
serving  vested  interests  of  inter-galactic  and  planetary  political,  economic, 
and  religious  institutions. 

Though  relatively  few  in  number,  the  profound  wisdom  and  heroic 
dedication  of  such  beings,  and  those  who  share  their  quest,  have  been  the 
only  effective  deterrent  to  spiritual  slavery.  Freedom,  Communication, 
Creativity  ,Trust  and  Truth  for  all  Immortal  Spiritual  Beings  in  this  universe 
is  their  legacy.  The  Good  Examples  set  by  them  is  our  sanctuary  and 
sustenance.  Personal,  diligent  application  of  their  teachings  is  our  weapon 
against  the  dwindling  spiral  of  chaos  and  oblivion  that  is  the  material 
universe.

Editorial  Guidelines  Used  In  This  Book 


[ have  tried  not  to  edit  the  material  I received  from  Mrs.  MacElroy  except  to 
the  degree  necessary  to  make  a logical  sequence  of  the  material  she  mailed 
to  me.  Wherever  possible  I have  quoted  or  transcribed  her  original  written 
notes  verbatim. 

In  some  instances  I have  taken  editorial  liberty  to  add  other  information,  or 
supplementary  commentary  which  I feel  will  add  useful  definitions,  or 
clarification  to  the  information  given  in  the  official  transcripts,  or  to  her 
remarks  or  observations.  These  appear  as  a numbered  "(Footnote)"  in  the 
Appendix  at  the  end  of  the  book.  All  footnote  references,  where  possible, 
are  copied  verbatim  from  the  free  internet  encyclopedia  website 
www.wikipedia.org.  If  information  was  not  available  through  Wikipedia.org, 

I used  the  popular  internet  search  engine  www.google.com  to  find  a website 
reference  that  seemed  most  appropriate  to  the  subject  matter. 

Mrs.  MacElroy  did  not  make  a notation  of  dates  in  the  most  of  the 
documents,  so  I am  not  certain  that  the  sequence  of  material  matches  the 
actual  sequence  of  events,  or  sequence  of  the  interviews,  except  as  noted  on 
the  official  transcripts  themselves. 

Since  it  has  been  60  years  since  the  date  of  the  interviews,  and  considering 
the  age  of  Mrs.  MacElroy  before  her  death,  I reasoned  that  she  did  not 
necessarily  have  an  acute  recollection  of  exact  names,  dates  and  times, 
except  as  recorded  in  the  transcripts  of  July  8th  through  August  12th,  1947. 

The  material  in  this  book  is  organized  into  three  different  types.  The 
following  notations  will  be  used  to  designate  where  these  appear  in  this  book:

Introduction: 


The  Mystery  of  UFOs  and  Extraterrestrials 

If  you  have  studied  UFO  phenomena  at  all,  you  are  already  familiar  with  the 
infamous  Orson  Welles  radio  broadcast  of  "War  of  the  Worlds,  And  The 
Invasion  from  Mars"  1 (Footnote)  on  Oct.  30,  1938.  This  fictitious  radio 
dramatization  of  an  invasion  of  Earth  by  "aliens"  incited  a global  UFO  and 
extraterrestrial  hysteria  long  before  the  UFO  crash  near  Roswell,  N.M.  in 
1947. 

During  the  past  60  years,  since  the  alleged  Roswell  crash,  there  have  been 
tens  of  thousands  of  reported  UFO  sightings.  A global  hysteria  has  emerged 
from  "evidence"  of  what  is  presumed  to  be  extraterrestrial  phenomenon. 
Concurrently,  the  unrelenting  denial  of  this  phenomenon  by  the  U.S. 
government  has  precipitated  an  uninterrupted  flurry  of  accusations,  counter- 
accusations, cover-up  conspiracy  theories,  lunatic  fringe  speculations, 
"scientific  investigations",  etc.,  etc.,  ad  nauseam,  and  a growing  multitude  of 
similar  alleged  "close  encounters". 

My  first  thought  when  I received  the  package  of  documents  from  Mrs. 
MacElroy  was:  "This  is  just  another  set  of  Majestic-12  documents". 

2 (Footnote)  I am  referring  to  a "mysterious  package"  reportedly  received  by 
mail  in  1984  shortly  after  the  death  of  the  last  surviving  member  of  the  so- 
called  "Majestic-12"  committee,  alleged  to  have  been  organized  by  President 
Flarry  Truman  shortly  after  the  Roswell  incident  in  1947. 

There  are  several  similarities  to  the  "Majestic-12"  documents  and  the 
package  I received  from  Mrs.  MacElroy.  In  the  case  of  the  former,  an 
envelope  was  sent  from  an  anonymous  sender  with  no  return  address.  It 
contained  an  undeveloped  roll  of  film.  That's  all.  On  the  roll  of  film  were 
photos  of  documents  that  were  assumed  to  be  authentic  by  the  recipient  and 
his  colleagues  whose  vested  interest,  i.e.  livelihood,  depend  heavily  on 
attracting  public  notice  and  credibility  to  themselves  as  "leading  authorities" 
on  the  subject  of  UFO  phenomena.  They  have  worked  relentlessly  since 
then  to  discover  "proof"  that  the  documents  are  authentic.  Of  course, 
government  agencies  deny  everything  alleged  in  the  documents  and 
anything  having  to  do  with  the  subject  of  extraterrestrials  in  general. 


In  addition,  the  subject  has  become  so  thoroughly  overwhelmed  with  obvious 
false  reports,  discredited  sources,  hearsay,  manufactured  falsehoods, 
misunderstandings,  missing  information,  added  inapplicable  information  and 
a myriad  of  other  conflicting  complexities  which  have  made  the  subject 
laughable  or  unapproachable  as  a science.  This  may  be  intentional,  or 
simply  a reflection  of  the  general  chaos  and  barbarism  that  is  Humanity. 

As  for  government  denials  and  cover-ups,  the  events  of  September  1 1 , 2001 , 
have  made  it  abundantly  apparent  to  me  that  the  U.S.  government  has 
destroyed  any  vestige  of  trust  the  American  people  and  the  world  may  have 
harbored,  even  through  the  Vietnam  war,  Watergate,  and  many  similar 
betrayals,  in  the  "honesty"  of  the  American  government,  military  and 
intelligence  community,  by  blatantly  lying  to  it's  own  people  about  almost 
anything  and  everything. 

In  spite  of  vast  numbers  of  "UFO  sightings",  innumerable  reports  of  "alien 
abductions",  and  "close  encounters"  with  extraterrestrials  that  pervade  nearly 
all  of  prehistoric  and  recorded  human  history  I found  only  one  underlying, 
unifying,  undisputable,  axiomatic  common  denominator  that  permeates  all  of 
this  data: 

Assuming  that  subjective  reality,  or  beliefs,  of  individuals  is  acceptable 
evidence,  there  has  been  no  universally  agreed  upon  "proof  that  UFOs  and 
/ or  extraterrestrial  life  forms  exist  whether  based  on  government  admission  , 
physical  evidence,  circumstantial  or  subjective  data. 

There  are  several  deductions  I can  infer  from  the  lack  of  agreement, 
government  admission  or  physical  evidence  that  such  things  are  real  that,  if 
verified,  may  lead  to  a workable  solution  to  this  mystery: 

© deduction: 

In  spite  of  an  enormous  collection  of  subjective,  circumstantial  and  objective 
"evidence"  of  extraterrestrial  activity  on  and  around  Earth,  the  existence, 
intentions  and  the  activities  of  extraterrestrials  remain  hidden  and 
mysterious. 


Cv  deduction: 

Universally  agreed  upon  proof  of  extraterrestrial  life  based  on  subjective 
data,  government  admission,  physical  and  circumstantial  evidence  are 
subject  to  conflicting  vested  interests,  which  has  made  such  proof 
unattainable. 

Collectively,  these  deductions  beg  the  obvious  question: 

If  extraterrestrials  life  forms  exist,  why  is  there  no  consistent,  forthright , 
open,  interactive  communication  between  Mankind  and  Extraterrestrials? 


11 


Fortunately,  subjective  reality  does  not  require  evidence  or  "proof. 

Therefore,  I decided  to  write  this  book  in  order  to  pass  along  a subjective 
communication  I received  from  Mrs.  MacElroy  to  other  people  who  may  be 
interested  in  it. 

Personally,  I am  not  assuming  that  anything  I received  from  Mrs.  MacElroy  is 
in  any  way  authentic,  with  the  exception  of  the  envelope  and  the  paper  inside 
the  envelope.  I cannot  substantiate  any  of  it.  Indeed,  I can't  truly  verify  that 
there  was  ever  such  a person  as  Mrs.  MacElroy  other  than  a voice  I heard 
over  the  phone  in  1998.  The  voice  could  have  been  anyone.  Personally,  I 
do  not  have  a vested  interest  in  UFO  research.  Yes,  I've  written  a few  books 
about  immortal  spiritual  beings  --  because  I'm  interested  in  the  subject.  But  I 
haven't  sold  enough  of  those  books  to  pay  for  the  time  it  took  to  write  them. 

It  is  a hobby.  I earn  my  living  as  a small  business  consultant. 

It  is  not  my  intention  to  justify,  explain,  or  remedy  any  disability  to  perceive  or 
understand  the  mysteries  of  extraterrestrial  existence,  UFOs,  governments 
agendas  or  spiritual  abilities.  Nor  is  it  intended  to  educate,  persuade,  or 
promote  to  anyone  that  any  of  these  phenomena  exist.  Furthermore,  what  I 
may  or  may  not  think  about  any  of  this  is  irrelevant. 

Moreover,  I have  burned  all  of  the  original  documents,  including  the  envelope 
I received  from  Mrs.  MacElroy.  I do  not  want  to  spend  the  rest  of  my  life 
being  hounded  by  UFO  researchers,  government  agents,  grocery  store 
tabloids  reporters,  UFO  advocates  and  de-bunkers  alike,  or  anyone  else. 

Any  "proofs"  or  attempts  to  authenticate  the  assertion  that  Mrs.  MacElroy 
actually  interviewed  an  alien  in  1947  will  have  to  be  done  by  others. 

Ripley  says,  "Believe  It,  or  Not". 3 (Footnote) 

I say,  "What's  true  for  you,  is  true  for  you".

About  The  Source  Of  Material  In  This  Book 


The  content  of  this  book  is  primarily  excerpted  from  the  letter,  interview 
transcripts  and  personal  notes  I received  from  the  late  Matilda  O'Donnell 
MacElroy.  Her  letter  to  me  asserts  that  this  material  is  based  on  her 
recollection  of  communication  with  an  alien  being,  who  "spoke"  with  her 
telepathically.  During  July  and  August  of  1947  she  interviewed  an 
extraterrestrial  being  who  she  identifies  as  "Airl",  and  whom  she  claims  was 
and  continues  to  be  an  officer,  pilot  and  engineer  who  was  recovered  from  a 
flyer  saucer  that  crashed  near  Roswell,  New  Mexico  on  July  8th,  1947. 

Obviously,  anyone  reading  anything  about  this  most  famous,  or  infamous,  of 
all  "flying  saucer"  or  "alien  encounter"  events  must  necessarily  be  highly 
suspicious  regarding  1 ) the  authenticity  of  the  report  and  2)  the  credibility  of 
the  source  of  information,  especially  when  it  appears  for  the  first  time  sixty 
years  after  the  alleged  event! 

I received  the  aforementioned  letter  from  Mrs.  MacElroy  on  September  14th, 
2007,  together  with  a package  of  documents.  The  package  contained  three 
types  of  documents: 

1)  hand-written  notes  in  cursive  on  ordinary,  lined,  8 1/2"  X 11  "school 
notebook  paper,  which  I assume  had  been  written  personally  by  Mrs. 
MacElroy. 

2)  notes  typed  on  a manual  typewriter  on  plain,  white  20  lb.  bond  paper, 
which  I am  assume  were  prepared  personally  by  her.  At  least  both  had  the 
appearance  of  having  been  written  in  the  same  hand  writing,  and  / or  typed 
on  the  same  typewriter  consistently  throughout.  The  writing  in  the  notes  I 
received  also  appeared  to  be  the  same  as  the  writing  on  the  address  and 
return  address  of  the  manila  envelope  I received  from  Navan,  Ireland,  which 
was  postmarked  on  3 September,  2007.  Since  I am  not  a forensic  expert,  or 
handwriting  analyst,  my  opinion  in  these  matter  is  not  a professionally 
qualified  judgment. 

3)  many  pages  of  typewritten  transcriptions  of  her  interview  with  the  alien. 
These  were  obviously  typed  on  a different  typewriter.  These  pages  were 
typed  on  a different  type  of  paper  and  showed  apparent  signs  of  age  and 
repeated  handling. 


None  of  these  notes  were  assembled  in  any  particular  order,  or  by  date, 
except  where  indicated  by  a sentence  or  paragraph  of  preamble  or 
explanation  by  her,  or  by  extrapolation  from  the  context  of  the  pages. 

Voltaire  4 (Footnote)  is  quoted  as  having  said:  "History  is  a Mississippi  of  lies". 

According  to  the  comments  made  by  the  alien  in  the  interview  transcripts, 
supplied  by  Mrs.  MacElroy,  the  fundamental  lesson  of  history  is  that  many, 
many  gods  have  become  men,  but  very  few  men,  if  any,  have  returned  to 
being  a god  again. 

According  to  the  alien  being  --  "Airl"  --  if  anything  he  / she  / it  supposedly 
communicated  can  be  trusted  --  and  if  the  "translation"  or  interpretation  of 
this  alleged  communication  is  accurate,  the  history  of  this  universe  is  a "River 
of  Lies"  down  which  the  might  and  freedom  of  all-powerful,  god-like,  immortal 
spiritual  beings  ended  and  was  lost  in  a Sea  of  Matter  and  Mortality. 

Furthermore,  according  to  the  very  direct  and  undiplomatic  statements  made 
--  which  seem  to  express  the  "personal  opinion"  of  the  alien  — if  one  were 
traveling  the  far  reaches  of  the  universe  in  search  of  a place  called  "Hell",  it 
would  be  an  accurate  description  of  Earth  and  the  inhabitants  in  its  current 
condition. 

To  further  compound,  complicate  and  magnify  the  "incredible"  source  of  the 
"interview  transcriptions"  I received  from  Mrs.  MacElroy  is  the  fact  that  they 
are: 

1)  based  almost  entirely  on  "telepathic  communication"  between  the  alien 
and  Mrs.  MacElroy. 

2)  many  of  these  interviews  discuss  "paranormal"  activities  of  "immortal 
spiritual  beings". 

Of  course,  most  "scientific  authorities"  are  unwilling  to  acknowledge  or 
perceive  spiritual  phenomena  of  any  kind. 

The  dictionary  definition  of  the  word  paranormal  is: 

adjective: 

1 . cannot  be  explained  by  scientific  methods 

2.  supernatural,  or  seemingly  outside  "normal"  sensory  channels 

By  definition,  people  who  use  the  word  "paranormal"  are  1)  not  able  to 
explain  spiritual  phenomena  and  2)  spiritual  phenomena  are  outside  of  their 
normal  sensory  channels. 


14 


In  short,  scientists  suffer  from  the  inability  and/or  unwillingness  to 
perceive  and/or  explain  spiritual  activities.  Therefore,  the  discussion  of 
spiritual  activities  or  spiritual  universes  in  this  book  are  expected  to  be 
understood  only  by  those  who  can  and  will  perceive  such  things. 

According  to  the  time  spans  related  by  the  alien  in  several  of  the  interviews, 
there  are  a number  of  compelling  and  heretofore  unknown  reasons  that 
suggest  the  possibility  that  many  extraordinary  miscalculations  have  been 
made  by  Earth  scientists  regarding  the  origins  and  antiquity  of  the  universe, 
Earth,  life  forms  and  events.  Of  course,  these  may  or  may  not  be  accurate 
either,  as  time  and  it's  ugly  step-child,  history,  are  largely  subjective. 

However,  it  can  be  observed  that,  by  contrast  with  interstellar  or 
"macrocosmic  time",  the  historical  perspective  of  residents  of  Earth  is  limited 
to  a relatively  microscopic  period  of  time,  compared  to  what  are  considered 
to  be  "recent  events"  in  the  chronology  of  an  space  travel  civilization,  much 
less  the  entire  time  span  of  the  universe. 

The  geological  record  of  Earth  is  reckoned,  by  the  best  guesses  of  scientists, 
to  be  only  about  4 billion  years.  The  antiquity  of  homo  sapiens  in  the 
archaeology  textbooks  is  estimated  at  only  a few  million  years,  at  most.  Even 
the  entire  biological  spectrum  is  considered  to  have  existed  on  this  planet  for 
only  a few  hundred  million  years.  And,  by  and  large,  the  personal  memory  of 
individual  beings  on  this  planet  is  limited  to  only  one  lifetime. 

All  other  dates,  events,  or  interpretations  of  events  cited  in  this  book  are  from 
terrestrial  sources,  which  are  purely  subjective  observations,  conjectures,  or 
inventions  of  human  beings,  including  those  of  the  author,  and  must 
therefore  be  credited  or  disregarded  by  the  reader  accordingly,  considering 
the  penchant  of  Earth  inhabitants  to  myopia,  egocentricity,  and  general 
ignorance  of  the  several  universes  in  which  we  dwell. 

This  book  is  intended  to  be  an  informal  presentation  of  information  provided 
to  me,  sixty  years  after  the  fact,  of  a series  of  interviews  between  an  alien 
space  craft  officer,  pilot  & engineer  and  an  Army  Air  Force  surgical  nurse.

Biographical  Information 


Since  I have  never  met  Mrs.  MacElroy  in  person,  and  spoke  with  her  over  the 
phone  only  once  for  about  20  minutes,  I can  not  vouch  personally  for  her  as 
a credible  source  of  information.  In  fact,  I cannot  factually  substantiate  that 
such  a person  actually  existed,  accept  that  I did  speak  with  her  on  the  phone 
and  I received  hand-written  material  in  the  mail  which  was  sent  from  a 
physical  address  in  Ireland. 

When  I spoke  to  her  on  the  phone  in  1998,  I was  living  in  Florida.  At  the  time 
of  our  brief  phone  interview,  Mrs.  MacElroy  lived  on  Scotty  Pride  Drive  in 
Glasgow,  Montana.  I know  this  because  I mailed  a copy  of  my  book,  The  Oz 
Factors , to  her  as  a gift  after  it  was  published  in  1999.  I am  sure  she 
received  the  book,  because  she  refers  to  it  by  name  in  the  letter  I received 
from  Ireland,  and  says  that  she  read  it. 

I did  a little  research  on  the  internet  about  Glasgow,  Montana  for  my  own 
interest.  Glasgow  was  founded  in  1887  as  a railroad  town  that  became 
popular  during  the  1930s  because  President  FDR  requested  that  Fort  Peck 
Dam  be  constructed  there  which  became  a huge  source  of  employment  for 
the  Glasgow  area.  In  the  1960s  the  population  flourished  up  to  12,000 
because  of  Glasgow  Air  Force  Base  (SAC),  which  was  used  during  the 
Vietnam  conflict  and  the  earlier  part  of  the  'Cold  War'.  The  base  was 
deactivated  and  closed  in  1969. 

When  I talked  to  Mrs.  MacElroy  on  the  phone  she  mentioned  that  she  had 
been  relocated  there  by  the  U.S.  Air  Force  after  her  service  was  completed, 
and  that's  where  she  met  her  husband,  who  was  an  engineer.  I don't  think 
she  mentioned  his  first  name.  However,  he  worked  on  building  the  Fort  Peck 
Dam,  which  created  the  massive  Fort  Peck  Lake.  Although  the  dam  was 
finished  in  1940,  he  was  a great  fisherman  and  outdoorsman,  so  he  stayed  in 
the  area.  I gathered  that  the  Irish  heritage  of  the  place  had  something  to  do 
with  it,  but  didn't  pursue  that  point  with  her.  I haven't  been  able  to  find  any 
record  of  a "MacElroy"  who  worked  at  the  dam,  but  the  personnel  records 
from  that  period  are  virtually  non-existent  as  far  as  I can  determine. 

I contacted  her  during  my  research  for  The  Oz  Factors  book  because  I was 
led  to  believe,  through  a very  circuitous  line  of  investigation,  that  this  women 


16 


was  suspected  of  having  been  involved  with  alien  contact  at  Area  51 , or  the 
Roswell  crash  site,  or  something  similar. 

Through  a sequence  of  circumstantial  inferences  and  accidental  referrals,  I 
actually  found  her  number  in  the  phone  book  and  called  her  up  just  on  the 
chance  that  there  might  really  be  such  a person. 

Needless  to  say,  when  I called  her  she  was  less  than  forthcoming  in  her 
response  to  my  questions.  However,  I think  she  was  impressed  by  my 
genuine  and  innocent  sincerity  to  get  information  for  my  book,  and  realized 
that  I had  no  nefarious  or  financially  motivated  purposes  or  reason  to  exploit 
her  in  any  way.  Nonetheless,  she  did  not  give  me  any  useful  information  at 
that  time,  except  to  say  that  she  had  been  in  the  Army  and  was  stationed  in 
New  Mexico  in  1947. 

She  could  not  discuss  anything  whatsoever  about  any  kind  of  incident,  as  her 
life  depended  on  remaining  silent.  Although  this  piqued  my  interest  even 
more,  it  was  futile  to  try  to  push  her  any  further,  so  I gave  up  and  forgot  about 
her  until  last  September,  when  I got  the  package  from  Ireland. 

I tried  to  contact  her  in  Ireland  at  the  return  address  on  the  package,  but 
received  no  reply  from  her,  nor  have  I been  able  to  find  anyone  in  Meath 
County,  Ireland  who  was  acquainted  with  either  of  them  except  the  landlady 
from  whom  they  rented  a room  for  a few  weeks  before  their  deaths,  which 
seemed  to  have  occurred  simultaneously,  although  I have  no  real  evidence 
of  this. 

However,  the  post  mark  of  the  envelope  she  sent  to  me  was  stamped  at  the 
post  office  in  Navan,  Co.  Meath,  Ireland  on  the  date  sited  above.  Since  there 
is  an  actual  residence  (according  to  Google  Maps)  at  the  return  address 
shown  on  the  envelope,  I wrote  to  the  address  and  was  advised  by  the  home 
owner  that  both  Mrs.  MacElroy  and  her  husband,  whose  name  turns  out  to 
have  been  "Paul",  were  both  recently  deceased.  She  said  that  the  cremated 
remains  of  Mrs.  MacElroy  and  her  husband  were  interred  at  Saint  Finian 
Cemetery  on  Athboy  Road. 

Subsequently,  I have  not  been  able  to  find  any  record  of  her  under  the 
maiden  name  of  O'Donnell,  nor  have  I had  any  success  at  discovering  any 
personal  friend,  family  member  or  document  to  confirm  her  birth,  medical 
education,  or  military  record,  marriage  or  death,  with  the  exception  of  her 
landlady  in  Ireland  (who  is  not  a relative)  just  before  her  death.  I suspect  that 
this  is  the  false  identity  given  to  her  by  the  military  when  she  left  Roswell,  as 
mentioned  in  her  notes. 

In  either  case,  it  seems  likely  that  her  identity  and  all  evidence  of  her  has 
been  expunged  from  the  public  record.  I understand  that  certain  government 


17 


agencies  are  adept  at  covering  up  evidence,  or  making  records  (and  people) 
disappear.  It  seems  likely  that  this  has  been  done  in  her  case,  due  to  the 
highly  sensitive  nature  of  the  Roswell  incident  and  consistent  with  the  rest  of 
the  alleged  "cover  up". 

Inasmuch  as  I do  not  have  any  further  information  to  verify  or  substantiate 
that  any  of  the  notes  of  these  "interviews"  sent  to  me  by  Mrs.  MacElroy  are  in 
any  way  factual,  other  than  what  I have  already  mentioned,  let  the  reader 
beware,  and  take  heed  accordingly!

The  Letter  from  Mrs.  MacElroy 


August  12,  2007 
Dear  Lawrence, 

I am  typing  this  letter  to  you  on  my  old  Underwood 
typewriter  that  I bought  after  I was  discharged  from  the 
Army.  Somehow  it  seems  like  a fitting  contrast  to  the 
subject  of  this  letter  and  the  documents  you  will  find 
enclosed  in  this  envelope. 

The  last  time  I spoke  to  you  was  about  eight  years  ago. 
During  your  brief  telephone  interview  with  me  you  asked 
me  to  assist  you  with  the  research  for  "The  Oz  Factors" 
book  you  were  writing  because  you  suspected  that  I might 
know  something  that  would  help  your  investigation  into 
the  possibility  that  extraterrestrial  beings  may  have 
influenced  the  history  of  Earth.  When  we  spoke,  I told 
you  that  I did  not  have  any  information  that  I could 
share  with  you  about  anything. 

Since  then  I have  read  your  book  and  found  it  very 
interesting  and  compelling.  You  are  obviously  a man  who 
has  done  his  homework,  and  who  could  understand  my  own 
experiences.  I've  been  thinking  a lot  about  your 
allusion  to  the  old  philosopher  whom  you  paraphrased  in 
our  phone  conversation:  "with  great  power,  comes  great 
responsibility".  Although  I don't  think  power  is 
pertinent  in  my  life  or  to  my  reasons  for  sending  you 
the  enclosed  documents,  you  certainly  did  get  me 
thinking  about  my  responsibility. 

I have  reconsidered  my  position,  for  a variety  of 

reasons,  not  the  least  of  which  is  my  realization  that 

you  were  right.  I do  have  a responsibility  to  myself, 
at  least.  I can  not  possibly  tell  you  the  personal  Hell I * * *  5 
(Footnote)  of  ethical  irresolution  and  spiritual  ambivalence 

I have  endured  since  1947.  I do  not  want  to  keep  playing 

the  game  of  "maybe  I should  have,  or  maybe  I shouldn't 
have",  through  the  rest  of  Eternity! 


19 


Many  men  have  been  killed  to  extinguish  the  possibility 
of  revealing  the  knowledge  I have  helped  to  withhold 
from  society,  until  now.  Only  a small  handful  of  people 
on  Earth  have  seen  and  heard  what  I have  had  the  burden 
of  keeping  secret  for  sixty  years.  All  those  years  I 
thought  that  I had  been  entrusted  with  a great  deal  of 
confidence  by  the  "powers  that  be"  in  our  government, 
although  I have  often  felt  that  power  is  greatly 
misguided,  to  "protect"  Mankind  from  the  certain 
knowledge  that,  not  only  do  intelligent  extraterrestrial 
life  forms  exist,  but  that  they  have  and  continue  to 
aggressively  monitor  and  invade  the  lives  of  everyone  on 
Earth  every  day. 

Therefore,  I think  the  time  has  come  to  pass  along  my 
secret  knowledge  to  someone  I think  will  understand  it. 

I don't  think  it  would  be  responsible  of  me  to  take  the 
knowledge  I have  into  the  silent  afterlife,  beyond  reach 
or  recognition.  I think  there  is  a greater  good  to  be 
served  than  protecting  the  "vested  interests"  for  whom 
this  information  is  considered  a matter  of  "national 
security",  whatever  that  means,  and  is  therefore 
justification  for  making  it  "TOP  SECRET".  6 (Footnote) 

Also,  I am  now  83  years  old.  I have  decided  to  leave 
this  body,  which  has  outlasted  it's  usefulness  to  me, 
using  a painless  method  of  self-administered  euthanasia.7 
(Footnote)  I have  a very  few  months  to  live,  and  nothing  to 
fear  or  lose. 

So,  I have  moved  away  from  Montana,  where  my  husband  and 
I lived  for  most  of  my  life,  to  spend  our  remaining  days 
in  a lovely  rented  upstairs  bedroom  in  a house  in  the 
homeland  of  my  husband's  family  in  County  Meath, 

Ireland.  8 (Footnote) 

I will  die  not  far  from  "The  Great  Mound"  at  Knowth 
9 (Footnote), and  Dowth,  the  "Fairy  Mound  of  Darkness".  These 
are  sacred  "cairns"  or  massive  stone  structures  that 
were  erected  about  3,700  BCE  and  engraved  with 
indecipherable  hieroglyphs  --  about  the  same  time  as 
pyramids  and  other  inexplicable  stone  monuments  were 
being  built  all  over  the  Earth. 

I am  also  not  far  from  "The  Hill  of  Tara",  10  (Footnote)  that 
was  once  the  ancient  seat  of  power  in  Ireland  where  142 
kings  are  said  to  have  reigned  in  prehistoric  and 


20 


historic  times.  In  ancient  Irish  religion  and  mythology 
this  was  the  sacred  place  of  dwelling  for  the  "gods"  and 
was  the  entrance  to  the  "other  world" . 

Saint  Patrick  came  to  Tara  to  conquer  the  ancient 
religion  of  the  pagans.  He  may  have  suppressed  the 
religious  practices  in  the  area,  but  he  certainly  did 
not  have  any  impact  on  the  "gods"  who  brought  these 
civilizations  to  Earth,  as  you  will  discover  when  you 
read  the  documents  enclosed.  Therefore,  this  is  a 
fitting  location  for  my  departure  from  this  unholy  world 
and  final  release  from  the  burdens  of  this  life. 

The  crystal  clear  perspective  of  hindsight  has  revealed 
a higher  purpose  to  me:  assisting  the  survival  of  the 
planet,  all  living  beings  and  life  forms  in  our  galaxy! 

The  status  quo  of  our  government  establishment  has  been 
to  "protect  the  people"  from  knowledge  of  such  matters. 
In  fact,  the  only  protection  afforded  by  ignorance  and 
secrecy  is  to  hide  the  private  agenda  of  those  in  power 
to  enslave  others.  And,  by  doing  so,  to  disarm  every 
perceived  enemy,  and  ally,  through  superstition  and 
stupidity . 

Therefore,  I have  enclosed  the  original  and  only 
existing  copies  of  my  personal  notes  and  reflections  on 
a matter  which  I have  kept  hidden  from  everyone,  even  my 
own  family.  I have  also  enclosed  my  copies  of  typed 
transcripts  created  by  the  stenographer  who  transcribed 
all  of  my  interviews  with  the  alien  saucer  pilot  after 
each  interview  was  finished.  I do  not  have  any  copies 
of  the  tape  recordings  that  were  made  of  my  interview 
reports.  No  one,  until  now,  knows  that  I was  able  to 
secretly  retain  copies  of  the  official  interview 
transcripts . 

Now  I am  entrusting  these  documents  to  your  discretion 
to  impart  to  the  world  in  any  form  or  manner  you  see 
fit.  My  only  request  is  that  you  do  so  in  a way  that 
will  not  threaten  your  own  life  or  well  being,  if 
possible.  If  you  were  to  incorporate  these  notes  of  my 
experiences  into  a work  of  fiction,  such  as  a novel,  the 
factual  nature  of  the  material  could  be  easily  dismissed 
or  discredited  by  any  agency  for  whom  "national 
security"  is  used  as  a personal  shield  against  scrutiny 
and  justice. 


21 


In  so  doing,  you  could  "disavow  any  knowledge"  of  their 
true  origin,  and  claim  that  it  is  a fictitious  work  of 
your  imagination.  Whoever  said  that  "truth  is  stranger 
than  fiction"  was  "right  as  rain".  For  most  people  all 
of  this  will  be  "unbelievable".  Unfortunately,  beliefs 
are  not  a reliable  criteria  for  reality. 

Also,  I am  sure  that  if  you  were  to  show  these  notes  to 
anyone  that  would  prefer  physical,  economic  or  spiritual 
slavery  over  freedom,  the  subject  matter  contained  in 
them  would  seem  quite  objectionable.  If  you  attempted 
to  published  the  documents  as  a matter  of  factual 
reporting  in  a newspaper  or  on  the  evening  TV  news  they 
would  be  rejected  out  of  hand  as  the  work  of  a kook. 

The  very  nature  of  these  documents  make  them 
unbelievable,  and  therefore  discreditable.  Conversely, 
the  release  of  this  information  is  potentially 
catastrophic  for  certain  political,  religious  and 
economic  vested  interests. 

These  documents  contain  information  which  is  quite 
relevant  to  your  interest  and  investigations  into  alien 
encounters  and  paranormal  experience.  To  use  your 
analogy  in  "The  Oz  Factors"  book,  I can  honestly  say 
that  the  few  factual  reports  that  have  been  made  by 
others  about  "alien"  influences  are  only  a gentle  breeze 
in  the  eye  of  an  Apocalyptic  Hurricane  swirling  around 
Earth.  There  really  are  wizards  and  wicked  witches  and 
flying  monkeys  in  this  universe! 

This  information,  which  has  been  suspected  and/or 
speculated  upon  by  so  many  for  so  long,  has  been 
constantly  denied  by  mainstream  media,  academia,  and  the 
Military-Industrial  Complex  11  (Footnote)  that  President 
Eisenhower  warned  us  about  in  his  farewell  address. 

As  you  known  in  July, 1 947 , the  Roswell  Army  Air  Field 
(RAAF)  12  (Footnote)  issued  a press  release  stating  that 
personnel  from  the  field's  509th  Bomb  Group  had 
recovered  a crashed  "flying  disc"  from  a ranch  near 
Roswell,  New  Mexico,  sparking  intense  media  interest.  13 
(Footnote) 

Later  the  same  day,  the  Commanding  General  of  the  Eighth 
Air  Force  14  (Footnote)  stated  that  Major  Jesse  Marcel,  who 
was  involved  with  the  original  recovery  of  the  debris, 
had  recovered  only  the  tattered  remnants  of  a weather 


22 


balloon.  The  true  facts  of  the  incident  have  been 
suppressed  by  the  United  States  government  since  then. 

You  may  not  know  that  I was  enlisted  in  the  U.S.  Women's 
Army  Air  Force  (WAC)  15  (Footnote)  Medical  Corp  which  was  a 
part  of  the  US  Army  back  then.  I was  assigned  to  the 
509th  Bomb  Group  as  a Flight  Nurse  16  (Footnote)  at  the  time 
of  the  incident. 

When  the  news  that  there  had  been  a crash  was  received 
at  the  base,  I was  asked  to  accompany  Mr.  Cavitt,  the 
Counter  Intelligence  Officer,  17  (Footnote)  to  the  crash  site 
as  the  driver  of  his  vehicle,  and  to  render  any  needed 
emergency  medical  assistance  to  any  survivors,  if 
necessary.  18  (Footnote)  Therefore,  I briefly  witnessed  the 
wreckage  of  an  alien  space  craft,  as  well  as  the  remains 
of  the  several  alien  personnel  aboard  the  craft  who  were 
already  dead. 

When  we  arrived  I learned  that  one  of  the  personnel  on 
board  the  craft  had  survived  the  crash,  and  was 
conscious,  and  apparently  uninjured.  The  conscious 
alien  was  similar  in  appearance,  but  not  the  same  as, 

the  others.  19  (Footnote) 

None  of  the  other  personnel  present  could  communicate 
with  the  survivor,  as  the  being  did  not  communicate 
verbally  or  by  any  recognizable  signs.  However,  while  I 
examined  the  "patient"  for  injuries  I immediately 
detected  and  understood  that  the  alien  being  was 
attempting  to  communicate  with  me  by  "mental  images",  or 
"telepathic  thought",  “(Footnote)  which  projected  directly 
from  the  mind  of  the  being. 

I immediately  reported  this  phenomenon  to  Mr.  Cavitt.  As 
no  other  person  present  could  perceive  these  thoughts, 
and  the  alien  seemed  able  and  willing  to  communicate 
with  me,  it  was  decided,  after  a brief  consultation  with 
a senior  officer,  that  I would  accompany  the  surviving 
alien  back  to  the  base. 

This  was  partly  due  to  the  fact  that  I was  a nurse,  and 
could  attend  to  the  physical  needs  of  the  alien,  as  well 
as  serve  as  a non-threatening  communicator  and 
companion.  After  all,  I was  the  only  woman  at  the  site 
and  the  only  one  who  was  not  armed.  I was  thereafter 
assigned  permanently  to  serve  as  a "companion"  of  the 
alien  at  all  times . 21  (Footnote) 


23 


My  duty  was  to  communicate  with  and  interview  the  alien 
and  to  make  a complete  report  of  all  that  I discovered 
to  command  authorities.  Subsequently,  I was  supplied 
with  specific  lists  of  questions  provided  to  me  by 
military  and  non-military  personnel,  which  I was  to 
"interpret"  for  the  alien,  and  record  the  responses  to 
the  questions  provided. 

I also  accompanied  the  alien  at  all  times  during  medical 
testing  and  the  many  other  examinations  to  which  the 
alien  was  subjected  by  staff  from  numerous  government 
agencies . 

I was  given  a promotion  in  rank  to  Senior  Master 
Sergeant  to  improve  my  security  rating,  and  to  increase 
my  pay  grade  from  $54.00  a month  to  $138.00  a month,  for 
this  very  unusual  assignment.  I performed  these  duties 
from  July  7th  through  August, 1947, at  which  time  the 
alien  "died"  or  departed  the  "body",  as  you  will  read 
about  in  my  notes. 

Although  I was  never  left  entirely  alone  with  the  alien, 
as  there  were  always  military  personnel,  intelligence 
agency  people  and  a variety  of  other  officials  present 
from  time  to  time,  I did  have  uninterrupted  access  to 
and  communication  with  the  alien  being  for  nearly  six 
weeks . 

Hereinafter  is  an  overview  and  summary  of  my  personal 
recollections  of  "conversations"  with  the  alien  craft 
pilot,  whom  I came  to  know  by  the  identity  of  "Airl". 

I feel  that  it  is  my  duty  at  this  time,  in  the  best 
interest  of  the  citizens  of  Earth,  to  reveal  what  I have 
learned  from  my  interaction  with  "Airl"  during  those  six 
weeks,  on  the  anniversary  of  her  "death"  or  departure 
sixty  years  ago. 

Although  I served  as  a nurse  in  the  Army  Air  Force,  I am 
not  a pilot  or  technician.  Further,  I did  not  have  any 
direct  contact  with  the  space  craft  or  other  materials 
recovered  from  the  crash  site  at  that  time,  or 
thereafter.  To  that  degree  it  must  be  taken  into 
consideration  that  my  understanding  of  the 
communications  I had  with  " Airl"  are  based  on  my  own 
subjective  ability  to  interpret  the  meaning  of  the 
thoughts  and  mental  images  I was  able  to  perceive. 


24 


Our  communication  did  not  consist  of  "spoken  language", 
in  the  conventional  sense.  Indeed,  the  "body"  of  the 
alien  had  no  "mouth"  through  which  to  speak.  Our 
communication  was  by  telepathy.  At  first,  I could  not 
understand  Airl  very  clearly.  I could  perceive  images, 
emotions  and  impressions,  but  it  was  difficult  for  me  to 
express  these  verbally.  Once  Airl  learned  the  English 
language,  she  was  able  to  focus  her  thoughts  more 
precisely  using  symbols  and  meanings  of  words  I could 
understand.  Learning  the  English  language  was  done  as  a 
favor  to  me.  It  was  more  for  my  own  benefit  than  hers. 

By  the  end  of  our  interview  sessions,  and  increasingly 
since  then,  I have  become  more  comfortable  with 
telepathic  communication.  I have  become  more  adept  at 
understanding  Airl's  thoughts  as  though  they  are  my  own. 
Somehow,  her  thoughts  become  my  thoughts . Her  emotions 
are  my  emotions.  However,  this  is  limited  by  her 
willingness  and  intention  to  share  her  own,  personal 
universe  with  me.  She  is  able  to  be  selective  about 
what  communication  I am  allowed  to  receive  from  her. 
Likewise,  her  experience,  training,  education, 
relationships  and  purposes  are  uniquely  her  own. 


This  is  the  symbol  of  "The  Domain 


The  Domain  is  a race  or  civilization  of  which  Airl,  the 
alien  I interviewed,  is  an  officer,  pilot  and  engineer 
serving  in  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force.  The  symbol 
represents  the  origin  and  unlimited  boundary  of  the 
known  universe,  united  and  integrated  into  a vast 
civilization  under  the  control  of  The  Domain. 

Airl  is  currently  stationed  at  a base  in  the  asteroid 
belt  which  she  refers  as  a "space  station"  in  the  solar 
system  of  Earth.  First  and  foremost,  Airl  is  herself. 
Secondarily,  she  voluntarily  serves  as  an  Officer,  Pilot 
and  Engineer  in  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force.  In  that 
capacity  she  has  duties  and  responsibilities,  but  she  is 
at  leave  to  come  and  go  as  she  pleases  also. 

Please  accept  this  material  and  make  it  known  to  as  many 
people  as  possible.  I repeat  that  it  is  not  my 
intention  to  endanger  your  life  with  the  possession  of 
this  material,  nor  do  I really  expect  you  to  believe  any

of  it  either.  However,  I do  sense  that  you  can 
appreciate  the  value  that  such  knowledge  may  have  to 
those  who  are  willing  and  able  to  face  the  reality  of 
it . 

Mankind  needs  to  know  the  answers  to  questions  which  are 
contained  in  these  documents.  Who  are  we?  Where  did  we 
come  from?  What  is  our  purpose  on  Earth?  Is  Mankind 
alone  in  the  universe?  If  there  is  intelligent  life 
elsewhere  why  have  they  not  contacted  us? 

It  is  vital  that  people  understand  the  devastating 
consequences  to  our  spiritual  and  physical  survival  if 
we  fail  to  take  effective  action  to  undo  the  long- 
standing and  pervasive  effects  of  alien  intervention  on 
Earth . 

Perhaps  the  information  in  these  documents  will  serve  as 
a stepping  stone  to  a better  future  for  Mankind.  I hope 
that  you  can  be  more  clever,  creative  and  courageous  in 
the  distribution  of  this  information  than  I have  been. 

May  The  Gods  Bless  You  and  Keep  You.

Chapter  One 

My  First  Interview  With  The  Alien 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"By  the  time  the  alien  had  been  returned  to  the  base  I had  already  spent  several  hours 
with  her.  As  I mentioned,  Mr.  Cavitt  told  me  to  stay  with  the  alien,  since  I was  the 
only  person  among  us  who  could  understand  her  communication.  I could  not 
understand  my  ability  to  "communicate"  with  the  being.  I had  never  before  that  time 
experienced  telepathic  communication  with  anyone. 

The  non-verbal  communication  I experienced  was  like  the  understanding  you  might 
have  when  a child  or  a dog  is  trying  to  get  you  to  understand  something,  but  much, 
much  more  direct  and  powerful!  Even  though  there  were  no  "words"  spoken,  or 
signs  made,  the  intention  of  the  thoughts  were  unmistakable  to  me.  I realized  later 
that,  although  I received  the  thought,  I did  not  necessarily  interpret  it's  meaning 
exactly. 

I think  that  the  alien  being  was  not  willing  to  discuss  technical  matters,  due  to  the 
nature  of  her  position  as  an  officer  and  pilot  with  the  duty  to  maintain  the  security 
and  confidentiality  required  by  her  own  "unit"  or  organization.  Any  soldier  who  is 
captured  by  the  "enemy"  in  the  line  of  duty  has  a responsibility  to  withhold  vital 
information,  even  in  the  face  of  interrogation  or  torture,  of  course. 

But,  in  spite  of  that,  1 have  always  felt  that  the  alien  being  was  not  really  trying  to 
hide  anything  from  me.  I just  never  got  that  feeling.  Her  communication  always 
seemed  honest  and  sincere  to  me.  But,  I suppose  you  can  never  know  for  sure.  1 
definitely  feel  that  I shared  a unique  "bond"  with  the  alien.  It  was  a kind  of  "trust"  or 
empathy  that  you  have  with  a patient,  or  a child.  I think  this  is  because  the  alien 
could  understand  that  I was  really  interested  in  "her"  and  had  no  harmful  intention, 
nor  would  I allow  any  harm  to  come  to  her,  if  I could  prevent  it.  This  was  true  too. 

I refer  to  the  alien  as  "her".  Actually,  the  being  was  not  sexual  in  any  way,  either 
physiologically  or  psychologically.  "She"  did  have  a rather  strong,  feminine 
presence  and  demeanor.  However,  in  terms  of  physiology,  the  being  was  "asexual" 
and  had  no  internal  or  external  reproductive  organs.  Her  body  was  more  like  the 
body  of  a "doll"  or  "robot".  There  were  no  internal  "organs",  as  the  body  was  not 
constructed  of  biological  cells.  It  did  have  a kind  of  "circuit"  system  or  electrical 


nervous  system  that  ran  throughout  the  body,  but  I could  not  understand  how  it 
worked. 

In  stature  and  appearance  the  body  was  quite  short  and  petite.  About  a 40  inches  tall. 
The  head  was  disproportionately  large,  relative  to  arms,  legs  and  torso,  which  where 
thin.  There  were  three  "fingers"  on  each  of  two"  hands"  and  "feet"  which  were 
somewhat  prehensile. 22  (Footnote)  The  head  had  no  operational  "nose"  or  "mouth" 
or  "ears".  I understood  that  a space  officer  does  not  need  these  as  space  has  no 
atmosphere  to  conduct  sound.  Therefore,  sound  related  sensory  organs  are  not  built 
into  the  body.  Nor  does  the  body  need  to  consume  food,  hence,  the  absence  of  a 
mouth. 

The  eyes  were  quite  large.  I was  never  able  to  determine  the  exact  degree  of  visual 
acuity  of  which  the  eyes  were  capable,  but  I observed  that  her  sense  of  sight  must 
have  been  extremely  acute.  I think  the  lenses  of  the  eyes,  which  were  very  dark  and 
opaque,  may  also  have  been  able  to  detect  waves  or  particles  beyond  the  visual 
spectrum  of  light.  23  (Footnote)  I suspect  that  this  may  have  included  the  full  range 
of  the  electromagnetic  spectrum,  24  (Footnote)  or  more,  but  I do  not  know  this  for 
sure. 

When  the  being  looked  at  me  her  gaze  seemed  to  penetrate  right  through  me,  as 
though  she  had  "x-ray  vision".  25  (Footnote)  1 found  this  a little  embarrassing,  at  first, 
until  I realized  that  she  had  no  sexual  intentions.  In  fact,  I don't  think  she  ever  even 
had  the  thought  that  I was  male  or  female. 

It  become  very  obvious  after  a short  time  with  the  being  that  her  body  did  not  require 
oxygen,  food  or  water  or  any  other  external  source  of  nutrition  or  energy.  As  I 
learned  later,  this  being  supplied  her  own  "energy",  which  animated  and  operated  the 
body.  It  seemed  a little  bit  eerie  at  first,  but  I got  used  to  the  idea.  It's  really  a very, 
very  simple  body.  There  is  not  much  to  it,  compared  to  our  own  bodies. 

Airl  explained  to  me  that  it  was  not  mechanical,  like  a robot,  nor  was  it  biological.  It 
is  animated  directly  by  her  as  a spiritual  being.  Technically,  from  a medical 
standpoint,  I would  say  that  Airl's  body  could  not  even  be  called  "alive".  Her  "doll" 
body  is  not  a biological  life  form, 26  (Footnote)  with  cells,  and  so  forth. 

It  had  a smooth  skin,  or  covering  which  was  gray  in  color.  The  body  was  highly 
tolerant  to  changes  in  temperature,  atmospheric  conditions,  and  pressure.  The  limbs 
were  quite  frail,  without  musculature.  In  space  there  is  no  gravity, 27  (Footnote)  so 
very  little  muscle  strength  is  needed.  The  body  was  used  almost  entirely  on  space 
craft  or  in  low,  or  no-gravity  environments.  Since  Earth  has  a heavy  gravity,  the 
body  was  not  able  to  walk  around  very  well  as  the  legs  were  not  really  suited  to  that 
purpose.  The  feet  and  hands  were  quite  flexible  and  agile  however. 

Over  night,  before  my  first  interview  with  the  alien,  the  area  had  been  transformed 
into  a buzzing  hive  of  activity.  There  were  a dozen  men  working  on  setting  up  lights 


28 


and  camera  equipment.  A motion  picture  camera  and  microphone  and  a tape 
recorder  was  there  also  set  up  in  the  "interview  room".  (I  don't  understand  why  a 
microphone  was  needed,  since  there  was  no  verbal  communication  possible  with  the 
alien.)  There  was  also  a stenographer  28  (Footnote)  and  several  people  busily  typing 
on  typewriters. 

I was  informed  that  an  expert  foreign  language  interpreter  and  a ''code  breaking" 
team  had  been  flown  to  the  base  during  the  night  to  assist  with  my  efforts  to 
communicate  with  the  alien.  There  were  also  several  medical  personnel  — 
specialists  in  various  fields  — to  examine  the  alien.  And,  a professor  of  psychology 
was  there  to  help  formulate  questions  and  "interpret"  the  answers.  As  I was  just  a 
nurse,  I was  not  considered  to  be  a "qualified"  interpreter,  even  though  I was  the  only 
one  there  who  could  understand  anything  the  alien  was  thinking! 

There  were  many  subsequent  conversations  between  us.  Each  "interview"  resulted  in 
an  exponential  increase  in  understanding  between  us,  as  I will  discuss  later  on  in  my 
notes.  This  is  the  first  transcript  with  the  answers  to  a list  of  questions  provided  to 
me  by  the  intelligence  officer  at  the  base  which  1 debriefed  to  the  stenographer 
immediately  following  the  interview."

SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  9.  7.  1947 

"QUESTION  - "Are  you  injured?" 

ANSWER  - 

NO 

QUESTION  - "What  medical  assistance  do  you  require? 

ANSWER  - 

NONE

ANSWER  - 

NO 


29 


QUESTION  - "Do  you  have  any  special  environmental 
needs,  such  as  air  temperature,  atmospheric  chemical 
content,  air  pressure,  or  waste  elimination?" 

ANSWER  - 

NO.  I AM  NOT  A BIOLOGICAL  BEING. 

QUESTION  - "Does  your  body  or  space  craft  carry  any 
germs  or  contamination  that  may  be  harmful  to  humans 
or  other  Earth  life  forms?" 

ANSWER  - 

NO  GERMS  IN  SPACE. 

QUESTION  - "Does  your  government  know  you  are  here?" 
ANSWER  - 

NOT  AT  THIS  TIME 

QUESTION  - "Are  others  of  your  kind  going  to  come 
looking  for  you?" 

ANSWER  - 

YES 

QUESTION  - "What  is  the  weapons  capability  of  your 
people?" 

ANSWER  - 

VERY  DESTRUCTIVE. 

I did  not  understand  the  exact  nature  of  the  kind  of 
arms  or  weapons  that  they  might  have,  but  I did  not 
feel  that  there  was  any  malevolent  intention  in  her 
reply,  just  a statement  of  fact. 

QUESTION  - "Why  did  your  space  craft  crash?" 

ANSWER  - 


30 


IT  WAS  STRUCK  BY  AN  ELECTRICAL  DISCHARGE  FROM  THE 
ATMOSPHERE  WHICH  CAUSED  US  TO  LOSE  CONTROL. 

QUESTION  - "Why  was  your  space  craft  in  this  area?" 

ANSWER  - 

INVESTIGATION  OF  "BURNING  CLOUDS"  / RADIATION  / 
EXPLOSIONS  29  (Footnote) 

QUESTION  - "How  does  your  space  craft  fly?" 

ANSWER  - 

IT  IS  CONTROLLED  THROUGH  "MIND".  RESPONDS  TO 
"THOUGHT  COMMANDS". 

"Mind"  or  "thought  command"  are  the  only  English 
language  words  I can  think  of  to  describe  the 
thought.  Their  bodies,  and  I think,  the  space  craft, 
are  connected  directly  to  them  through  some  kind  of 
electrical  "nervous  system"  that  they  control  with 
their  own  thoughts. 

QUESTION  - "How  do  your  people  communicate  with  each 
other?" 

ANSWER  - 

THROUGH  MIND  /THOUGHT. 

The  words  "mind"  and  "thought"  combined  together  are 
the  closest  English  language  words  I can  think  of  to 
describe  the  idea  at  this  time.  However,  it  was  very 
obvious  to  me  that  they  communicate  directly  from  the 
mind,  just  as  she  is  communicating  with  me. 

QUESTION  - "Do  you  have  a written  language  or  symbols 
for  communication?" 

ANSWER  - 

YES 

QUESTION  - "What  planet  are  you  from?" 

ANSWER  - 


31 


THE  HOME  / BIRTHPLACE  WORLD  OF  THE  DOMAIN 


Since  I am  not  an  astronomer,  I have  no  way  of 
thinking  in  terms  of  stars,  galaxies,  constellations 
and  directions  in  space.  The  impression  I received 
was  of  a planet  in  the  center  of  a huge  cluster  of 
galaxies  that  is  to  her  like  "home",  or  "birthplace". 
The  word  "domain"  is  the  closest  word  I can  think  of 
to  describe  her  concept,  images  and  thoughts  about 
where  she  is  from.  It  could  as  easily  be  called  the 
"territory"  or  the  "realm".  However,  I am  sure  that 
it  was  not  just  a planet  or  a solar  system  or  a 
cluster  of  stars,  but  an  enormous  number  of  galaxies! 

QUESTION  - "Will  your  government  send  representatives 
to  meet  with  our  leaders?" 

ANSWER  - 

NO 

QUESTION  - "What  are  your  intentions  concerning 
Earth?" 

ANSWER  - 

PRESERVE  / PROTECT  PROPERTY  OF  THE  DOMAIN 

QUESTION  - "What  have  you  learned  about  Earth 
governments  and  military  installations?" 

ANSWER  - 

POOR  / SMALL.  DESTROY  PLANET. 

QUESTION  - "Why  haven't  your  people  made  your 
existence  known  to  the  people  of  Earth?" 

ANSWER  - 

WATCH  / OBSERVE.  NO  CONTACT. 

I got  the  impression  that  contact  with  people  on 
Earth  was  not  permitted,  but  I could  not  think  of  a 
word  or  idea  that  communicated  the  impression  I got 
exactly.  They  are  just  observing  us. 


32 


QUESTION  - "Have  your  people  visited  Earth's 
previously? " 

ANSWER  - 

PERIODIC  / REPEATING  OBSERVATIONS. 

QUESTION  - "How  long  have  you  known  about  Earth?" 
ANSWER  - 

LONG  BEFORE  HUMANS. 

I am  not  sure  if  the  word  "prehistoric"  would  be  more 
accurate,  but  it  was  definitely  a very  long  period  of 
time  before  human  beings  evolved. 

QUESTION  - "What  do  you  know  about  the  history  of 
civilization  on  Earth?" 

ANSWER  - 

SMALL  INTEREST  / ATTENTION.  SMALL  TIME. 

The  answer  to  this  question  seemed  very  vague  to  me. 
However,  I perceived  that  her  interest  in  Earth 
history  is  not  very  strong  or  that  she  did  not  pay 
much  attention  to  it.  Or,  maybe,  ...  I don't  know. 

I didn't  really  get  an  answer  to  the  question. 

QUESTION  - "Can  you  describe  your  home  world  to  us?" 

ANSWER  - 

PLACE  OF  CIVILIZATION  / CULTURE  / HISTORY.  LARGE 
PLANET.  WEALTH  / RESOURCES  ALWAYS.  ORDER.  POWER. 
KNOWLEDGE  / WISDOM.  TWO  STARS.  THREE  MOONS. 

QUESTION  - "What  is  the  state  of  development  of  your 
civilization?" 

ANSWER  - 

ANCIENT.  TRILLIONS  OF  YEARS.  ALWAYS.  ABOVE  ALL 
OTHERS.  PLAN.  SCHEDULE.  PROGRESS.  WIN.  HIGH  GOALS 
/ IDEAS. 


33 


I use  the  number  "trillions"  30  (Footnote)  because  I am 
sure  that  the  meaning  was  a number  larger  than  many 
billions.  The  idea  of  the  length  of  time  she 
communicated  is  beyond  me.  It's  really  closer  to 
the  idea  of  "infinity"  in  terms  of  Earth  years. 

QUESTION  - "Do  you  believe  in  God?" 

ANSWER  - 

WE  THINK.  IT  IS.  MAKE  IT  CONTINUE.  ALWAYS. 

I am  sure  that  the  alien  being  does  not  understand 
the  concept  of  "god"  or  "worship"  as  we  do . I assume 
that  the  people  in  her  civilization  were  all 
atheists . My  impression  was  that  they  think  very 
highly  of  themselves  and  are  very  prideful  indeed! 

QUESTION  - "What  type  of  society  do  you  have?" 

ANSWER  - 

ORDER.  POWER.  FUTURE  ALWAYS.  CONTROL.  GROW. 

These  are  the  closest  words  I could  use  to  describe 
the  idea  she  had  about  her  own  society  or 
civilization.  Her  "emotion"  when  communicating  her 
response  to  this  question  became  very  intense,  very 
bright  and  emphatic!  Her  thought  was  filled  with  an 
emotion  that  gave  me  a feeling  of  jubilation  or  joy. 
But,  it  made  me  very  nervous  also. 

QUESTION  - "Are  there  other  intelligent  life  forms 
besides  yourself  in  the  universe?" 

ANSWER  - 

EVERYWHERE.  WE  ARE  GREATEST  / HIGHEST  OF  ALL. 

Due  to  her  small  stature,  I am  sure  that  she  did  not 
mean  "tallest"  or  "biggest".  Again,  her  prideful 
"nature"  showed  through  in  the  feeling  I received 
from  her . " 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 


34 


"This  was  the  conclusion  of  the  first  interview.  When  the  answers  to  the  first 
list  of  questions  were  typed  and  given  to  the  people  who  were  waiting  for  them, 
they  were  very  excited  that  I was  able  to  get  the  alien  to  say  anything! 

However,  after  they  finished  reading  my  answers  they  were  disappointed  that  1 
could  not  understand  more  clearly.  Now  they  had  a lot  of  new  questions 
because  of  the  answers  I received  to  the  first  list  of  questions. 

An  officer  told  me  to  await  further  instructions.  I waited  for  several  hours  in  the 
adjoining  office.  I was  not  allowed  to  continue  my  "interview"  with  the  alien. 
However,  I was  always  well  treated  and  allowed  to  eat  and  sleep  and  use  the 
restroom  facilities  whenever  I wanted. 

Eventually,  a new  list  of  questions  was  written  for  me  to  ask  the  alien.  I 
gathered  that  quite  a few  other  agents,  government  and  military  officials  had 
arrived  at  the  base  by  this  time.  They  told  me  that  several  other  people  would  be 
in  the  room  with  me  during  the  next  interview  so  they  could  prompt  me  to  ask 
for  more  details  during  the  interview.  However,  when  I attempted  to  conduct 
the  interview  with  these  people  in  the  room,  1 received  no  thoughts,  emotions  or 
any  other  perceptible  communication  from  the  alien.  Nothing.  The  alien  just  sat 
in  a chair  without  moving. 

We  all  left  the  interview  room.  The  intelligence  agent  became  very  agitated 
about  this.  He  accused  me  of  lying  or  making  up  the  answers  to  the  first 
questions.  I insisted  that  my  answers  were  honest,  and  as  accurate  as  I could 
make  them! 

Later  that  day,  it  was  decided  that  several  other  people  would  attempt  to  ask 
questions  of  the  alien.  However,  in  spite  of  several  attempts  by  different 
"experts",  no  one  else  was  ever  able  to  get  any  communication  at  all  from  the 
alien. 

Over  the  next  several  days  a psychic  research  scientist  from  back  East  was 
flown  to  the  base  to  interview  the  alien.  Her  name  was  Gertrude  something  or 
other.  1 don't  recall  the  last  name.  31  (Footnote)  On  another  occasion  an  Indian 
clairvoyant  named  Krishnamurti 32  (Footnote)  came  to  the  base  to  try  to 
communicate  with  the  alien  . Neither  one  was  successful  at  getting  the  alien  to 
communicate  anything.  I was  personally  not  able  to  communicate  telepathically 
with  either  of  these  people  either,  although  1 did  think  that  Mr.  Krishnamurti 
was  a very  kind  and  intelligent  gentleman. 

Finally,  it  was  decided  that  1 should  be  left  with  the  alien  by  myself  to  see  if  I 
could  get  any  answers."

Chapter  Two 
My  Second  Interview 


"In  the  next  interview  I was  told  to  ask  the  alien  only  one  question." 
(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  10.  7.  1947 


"QUESTION  - "Why  have  you  stopped  communicating?" 
ANSWER  - 

NO  STOP.  OTHERS.  HIDDEN  / COVERED.  SECRET  FEAR. 

The  alien  can  not  communicate  with  them  because  they 
were  afraid  of  her,  or  do  not  trust  her.  And,  it  is 
clear  to  me  that  the  alien  is  very  aware  that  some 
people  have  secret  intentions  toward  her  and  are  hiding 
their  real  thoughts . It  is  equally  obvious  to  me  that 
the  alien  does  not  have  even  a tiny  bit  of  fear  of  us, 
or  anything  else,  for  that  matter!" 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"I  pondered  the  words  I chose  to  convey  the  meaning  of  the  aliens  thoughts  very 
carefully  before  reporting  to  the  stenographer  and  the  people  who  were  waiting 
anxiously  in  the  other  room. 

Personally,  I never  suffered  any  fear  or  misapprehension  about  the  alien 
whatsoever.  I was  very,  very  curious  and  excited  to  learn  anything  and 
everything  I could  about  her  and  from  her.  However,  like  the  alien,  I did  not 
have  much  trust  or  confidence  in  the  agents  or  "authorities"  who  were 


controlling  my  interviews.  I had  no  idea  what  their  intentions  toward  her  might 
be.  However,  I am  sure  that  the  military  officers  were  very,  very  nervous  about 
having  an  alien  space  craft  and  pilot  on  their  hands! 

At  that  moment,  my  greatest  worry  was  how  to  more  clearly  understand  the 
thoughts  and  ideas  of  the  alien.  1 think  that  I was  doing  pretty  well  as  a 
telepathic  "receiver",  but  not  as  good  as  telepathic  "sender". 

I wanted  desperately  to  figure  out  a better  way  to  communicate  with  the  alien  in 
a way  that  would  enable  the  growing  legion  of  government  officials  to 
understand  her  more  directly,  without  having  to  rely  on  my  interpretation  of  her 
thoughts.  I did  not  feel  very  well  qualified  to  act  as  an  interpreter,  yet  I was  the 
only  person  with  whom  the  alien  would  communicate,  so  it  was  up  to  me  to  get 
the  job  done. 

I was  also  becoming  acutely  aware  that  this  was  probably  the  biggest  "news 
event"  in  the  history  of  Earth,  and  that  I should  be  proud  to  have  any  part  in  it. 
Of  course  by  that  time  the  entire  incident  had  been  officially  denied  in  the  press 
and  a cover-up  of  immense  proportions  by  the  military  and  the  "powers  that  be" 
33  (Footnote)  had  already  begun. 

However,  I was  beginning  to  feel  the  pressure  of  the  responsibility  for  being  the 
first  person  on  Earth,  as  far  as  I knew,  to  communicate  with  an  extraterrestrial 
life  form!  1 think  I know  how  Columbus  34  (Footnote)  must  have  felt  when  he 
discovered  a "new  world"  the  size  of  a continent  on  one  small  planet.  But,  I was 
about  to  discover  an  entirely  new,  unexplored  universe!  35  (Footnote) 

While  I waited  for  my  next  instructions  from  my  superiors  I went  to  my 
quarters,  under  escort  of  several  heavily  anned  MPs.  Several  other  men  dressed 
in  black  suits  and  ties  accompanied  me  also.  They  were  still  there  when  I got  up 
in  the  morning.  After  breakfast,  which  was  brought  to  me  in  my  own  quarters, 
they  escorted  me  back  to  the  office  at  the  base  that  was  used  for  the  interview."

Chapter  Three 
My  Third  Interview 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"The  third  interview,  and  all  subsequent  interviews  that  I had  with  the  alien  were 
observed  and  recorded,  as  I mentioned  above,  by  dozens  of  other  people. 
Although  they  were  not  physically  present,  a special  room  had  been  constructed 
with  a window  of  one-way  glass  through  which  the  interview  could  be  observed 
from  an  adjoining  room,  without  intruding  on  the  alien. 

The  alien  had  been  moved  into  the  newly  constructed  room  and  was  seated  in  an 
ordinary  overstaffed  living  room  chair  covered  with  a flowery  fabric.  I'm  sure 
that  someone  had  been  sent  into  town  to  buy  a chair  from  the  nearest  available 
furniture  store.  The  aliens  body  was  about  the  same  size  as  a very  thin  5 year 
old  child,  so  she  was  dwarfed  by  the  chair. 

Since  her  body  was  not  biological  it  didn't  need  any  food,  air  or  heat,  and 
apparently,  she  didn't  sleep  either.  There  were  no  eyelids,  or  eyebrows  above 
her  eyes,  so  the  eyes  didn't  close.  I don't  think  anyone  could  tell  whether  she  was 
sleeping  or  awake  as  long  as  she  was  sitting  upright  in  the  chair.  Unless  she 
moved  her  body  or  gestured  with  her  hand,  it  would  be  hard  to  tell  whether  she 
was  even  alive  or  not,  unless  you  could  perceive  her  thoughts. 

Eventually,  I learned  that  the  alien  was  not  identified  by  her  body,  but  by  her 
"personality",  so  to  speak.  She  was  known  by  her  fellow  aliens  as  "Airl".  This 
is  the  closest  word  I can  use  to  describe  the  name  using  the  English  alphabet.  I 
sensed  that  she  preferred  the  feminine  gender.  I think  we  shared  a natural, 
female  empathy  and  nurturing  attitude  toward  life  and  each  other.  I am  sure  she 
did  not  feel  comfortable  with  the  combative,  aggressive,  domineering  attitude  of 
the  male  officers  and  agents,  each  of  whom  was  more  concerned  with  their  own 
personal  self-importance  and  power  than  with  discovering  the  secrets  of  the 
universe! 

When  I entered  the  room,  she  was  very  pleased  to  see  me.  I felt  a very  genuine 
sense  of  recognition,  relief  and  a "warm"  feeling  from  her.  It  was  like  the  eager 
excitement  and  unconditional,  platonic  affection  one  feels  from  a dog  or  child, 
yet  with  a calm  and  reserved  control.  I must  say  that  I was  surprised  that  I felt 
the  same  sort  of  affection  for  the  alien  being,  especially  since  we  had  spent  so 


38 


little  time  with  each  other.  I was  pleased  that  I was  able  to  continue  my 
interviews  with  her  in  spite  of  all  the  attention  it  was  getting  from  the  stream  of 
government  and  military  people  arriving  at  the  base. 

It  was  very  obvious  that  the  people  who  wrote  the  next  series  of  questions  for 
me  wanted  to  learn  how  to  communicate  with  the  alien  themselves,  without 
having  to  go  through  me. 

Here  are  the  answers  to  the  new  list  of  questions:"

"I  was  very  sure  that  this  was  not  true.  But,  I understood  clearly  that  Airl  was 
not  willing  to  communicate  in  writing  or  drawing  or  sign  language.  My  feeling 
was  that  she  was  following  orders,  like  any  soldier  who  has  been  captured,  not  to 
reveal  any  information  that  might  be  useful  to  an  enemy,  even  under  torture.  She 
was  only  able  and  willing  to  reveal  non-confidential,  or  personal  information,  or 
"name,  rank  and  serial  number"."

"QUESTION  - Can  you  show  us  on  a map  of  the  stars 
which  is  the  star  of  your  home  planet?  36  (Footnote) 

ANSWER  - 

NO. 

This  is  not  because  she  does  not  know  the  directions 
from  Earth  to  her  home  planet.  She  was  unwilling  to 
reveal  the  location.  It  was  also  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  star  system  of  her  home  planet  does  not  exist  on 
any  star  map  on  Earth.  It  is  too  far  away. 

QUESTION  - How  long  will  it  take  your  people  to  locate 
you  here? 

ANSWER  - 

UNKNOWN . 

QUESTION  - How  long  would  it  take  your  people  to 
travel  here  to  rescue  you? 

ANSWER  - 

MINUTES  OR  HOURS.

QUESTION  - How  can  we  make  them  understand  that  we  do 
not  intend  to  harm  you? 

ANSWER  - 

INTENTIONS  ARE  CLEAR.  SEE  IN  YOUR  MIND  / IMAGES  / 
FEELINGS . 

QUESTION  - If  you  are  not  a biological  entity,  why  do 
you  refer  to  yourself  as  feminine? 

ANSWER  - 

I AM  A CREATOR.  MOTHER.  SOURCE." 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"These  questions  took  me  only  a few  minutes  to  complete.  I realized  then  that 
we  may  be  in  for  some  serious  trouble  if  the  alien  was  not  willing  to  cooperate, 
or  reveal  any  infonnation  that  the  military  or  intelligence  agencies  or  scientists 
considered  to  be  useful  to  them. 

I was  also  sure  that  the  alien  was  very  certain  of  the  actual  intentions  of  the 
people  who  wrote  these  questions,  as  she  could  "read  their  minds"  just  as  easily 
as  she  could  read  my  thoughts  and  communicate  with  me  telepathically.  Because 
of  these  intentions,  she  was  unwilling  and  unable  to  cooperate  with  any  of  them 
in  any  way,  under  any  circumstances.  I am  equally  sure  that  since  she  was  not  a 
biological  life  form,  that  there  was  no  kind  of  torture  or  coercion  that  would 
change  her  mind!"

Chapter  Four 
The  Language  Barrier 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"After  I explained  what  I thought  were  the  reasons  for  the  "no  answer"  answer  to 
the  intelligence  agents,  there  was  a great  deal  of  upset  and  turmoil.  A very 
heated  discussion  took  place  between  some  of  the  intelligence  officers,  military 
officials,  psychologist  and  the  language  interpreters.  This  lasted  for  several 
hours.  It  was  finally  decided  that  I should  be  allowed  continue  to  interview  the 
alien,  provided  I could  get  a satisfactory  answer  from  her  to  the  following 
question:” 

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  11.  7.  1947,  3rd  Session 

"QUESTION  - "What  assurance  or  proof  do  you  require 
from  us  that  will  make  you  feel  safe  enough  to  answer 
our  questions." 

ANSWER  - 

ONLY  SHE  SPEAKS.  ONLY  SHE  HEARS.  ONLY  SHE 
QUESTIONS.  NO  OTHERS.  MUST  LEARN  / KNOW  / 

UNDERSTAND. " 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"When  I returned  from  the  interview  room  to  report  the  alien  response  to  this 
question  I received  a grim  and  skeptical  reception  from  the  assembled 
intelligence  agents  and  military  personnel.  They  could  not  understand  what  the 
alien  meant  by  this. 


I admitted  that  I couldn't  really  understand  what  she  meant  either,  but  I was 
doing  the  best  I could  to  articulate  her  telepathic  intentions.  I told  the  officials 
that  perhaps  the  communication  problem  had  to  do  with  my  inability  to 
understand  the  telepathic  language  of  the  alien  clearly  enough  to  he  satisfactory. 
I was  so  discouraged  at  that  point  I almost  felt  like  giving  up ! 

And  now,  there  was  even  more  arguments  than  before!  I was  sure  I was  going 
to  be  removed  from  my  position,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  alien  refused  to 
communicate  with  anyone  else,  or  that  no  one  else  had  been  found  who  could 
communicate  with  her. 

Fortunately,  a very  clever  fellow  named  John  Newbie,  who  was  a Japanese 
language  specialist  from  the  Navy,  37  (Footnote)  had  an  explanation  and  a 
solution  to  the  problem.  He  explained  that,  first,  the  problem  had  very  little  to 
do  with  the  inability  of  the  alien  to  communicate.  It  had  more  to  do  with  her 
unwillingness  to  communicate  with  anyone  other  than  myself.  Second,  in  order 
for  any  clear,  comprehensive  communication  to  happen,  both  parties  needed  to 
understand  and  communicate  through  a common  language. 

Words  and  symbols  in  language  convey  very  precise  concepts  and  meanings. 

He  said  that  the  Japanese  people  have  a lot  of  homonyms  38  (Footnote)  in  their 
language  which  cause  a lot  of  confusion  in  day  to  day  communication.  They 
solve  this  problem  by  using  standard  Chinese  characters  39  (Footnote)  to  write 
down  the  exact  meanings  of  the  word  they  are  using.  This  clears  up  the  matter 
for  them. 

Without  a defined  nomenclature  communication  was  not  possible  beyond  the 
rudimentary  understanding  between  men  and  dogs,  or  between  two  small 
children.  The  lack  of  a common  vocabulary  of  clearly  defined  words  that  all 
parties  can  use  fluently,  was  the  limiting  factor  in  communication  between  all 
people,  groups,  or  nations. 

Therefore,  he  suggested  that  there  were  only  two  choices.  I had  to  learn  to 
speak  the  language  of  the  alien,  or  the  alien  had  to  learn  to  speak  English. 
Factually  only  one  choice  was  possible:  that  I persuade  Airl  to  learn  English, 
and  that  I teach  it  to  her  with  the  guidance  of  the  language  specialist.  No  one 
had  any  objection  to  trying  this  approach,  as  there  were  no  other  suggestions. 

The  language  specialists  suggested  that  I take  several  children's  books,  and  a 
basic  reading  primer,  and  grammar  text  with  me  into  the  interview  room.  The 
plan  was  that  I would  sit  next  to  the  alien  and  read  aloud  to  her  from  the  books, 
while  pointing  to  the  text  I was  reading  with  my  finger  so  that  she  could  follow 
along. 

The  theory  was  that  the  alien  could  eventually  be  taught  to  read,  just  as  a child  is 
taught  to  read  by  word  and  sound  association  with  the  written  word,  as  well  as 


43 


instruction  in  fundamental  grammar.  They  also  assumed,  I think,  that  if  the 
alien  was  intelligent  enough  to  communicate  with  me  telepathically,  and  fly  a 
space  craft  across  the  galaxy,  that  she  could  probably  learn  to  speak  a language 
as  quickly  as  a 5 year  old,  or  faster! 

1 returned  to  the  interview  room  and  proposed  this  idea  to  Airl.  She  did  not 
object  to  learning  the  language,  although  she  did  not  make  any  commitment  to 
answer  questions  either.  No  one  else  had  a better  idea,  so  we  went  ahead."

Chapter  Five 
Reading  Lessons 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"I  began  the  reading  lessons  with  the  first  pages  of  a school  book  that  had  been  used 
to  teach  pioneer  children  in  the  1 800s  on  the  frontiers  of  America.  It  is  called 
"McGuffey's  Eclectic  Reader,  Primer  Through  Sixth".  40  (Footnote) 

Since  I am  a nurse,  and  not  a teacher,  the  language  expert  who  gave  me  the  books 
also  gave  me  an  extensive  briefing  — a course  that  took  an  entire  day  — on  how  to 
use  the  books  to  teach  the  alien.  He  said  the  reason  he  chose  these  particular  books 
was  because  the  original  1836  version  of  these  books  were  used  for  three-quarters  of 
a century  to  teach  about  four-fifths  of  all  American  school  children  how  to  read.  No 
other  books  ever  had  so  much  influence  over  American  children  for  so  long. 

McGuffey's  educational  course  begins  in  "The  Primer"  by  presenting  the  letters  of 
the  alphabet  to  be  memorized,  in  sequence.  Children  were  then  taught,  step  by  step, 
to  use  the  building  blocks  of  the  language  to  form  and  pronounce  words,  using  the 
phonics  method  41  (Footnote)  which  involves  teaching  children  to  connect  sounds 
with  letters.  Each  lesson  begins  with  a study  of  words  used  in  the  reading  exercise 
and  with  markings  to  show  the  correct  pronunciation  for  each  word. 

I discovered  that  the  stories  in  the  "First  and  Second  Readers"  picture  children  in 
their  relationship  with  family  members,  teachers,  friends,  and  animals.  The  "Third, 
Fourth,  Fifth  and  Sixth  Readers"  expanded  on  those  ideas.  One  of  the  stories  I 
remember  was  "The  Widow  and  the  Merchant".  It's  kind  of  a morality  tale  about  a 
merchant  who  befriends  a widow  in  need.  Later,  when  the  widow  proves  herself  to 
be  honest,  the  merchant  gives  her  a nice  gift.  The  books  do  not  necessarily  teach  you 
to  believe  that  charity  is  expected  only  of  wealthy  people  though.  We  all  know  that 
generosity  is  a virtue  that  should  be  practiced  by  everyone. 

All  of  the  stories  were  very  wholesome  and  they  gave  very  good  explanations  to 
illustrate  virtues  like  honesty,  charity,  thrift,  hard  work,  courage,  patriotism, 
reverence  for  God,  and  respect  for  parents.  Personally,  I would  recommend  this  book 
to  anyone! 

1 also  discovered  that  the  vocabulary  used  in  the  book  was  very  advanced  compared 
to  the  relatively  limited  number  of  words  people  use  commonly  in  our  modem  age.  I 


think  we  have  lost  a lot  of  our  own  language  since  our  Founding  Fathers  wrote  the 
Declaration  of  Independence  over  200  years  ago! 

As  instructed,  I sat  next  to  Airl  in  the  interview  room  reading  aloud  to  her  from  each 
successive  book  in  the  series  of  McGuffey's  Readers.  Each  of  the  books  had 
excellent,  simple  illustrations  of  the  stories  and  subjects  being  taught,  although  they 
are  very  outdated  by  today's  standards.  Nonetheless,  Airl  seemed  to  understand  and 
absorb  every  letter,  sound,  syllable  and  meaning  as  we  progressed.  We  continued 
this  process  for  1 4 hours  a day  for  3 consecutive  days  without  interruption,  except 
for  a few  meals  and  rest  breaks  on  my  part. 

Airl  did  not  take  breaks  for  anything.  She  did  not  sleep.  Instead  she  remained  sitting 
in  the  overstuffed  chair  in  the  interview  room,  reviewing  the  lessons  we  had  already 
covered.  When  I returned  each  morning  to  begin  where  we'd  left  off,  she  had  already 
memorized  the  previous  lessons  and  was  well  into  the  next  pages.  This  pattern 
continued  to  accelerate  until  it  became  pointless  for  me  to  continue  reading  to  her. 

Although  Airl  did  not  have  a mouth  to  speak  with,  she  was  now  able  to  "think"  at  me 
in  English.  At  the  end  of  these  lessons,  Airl  was  able  to  read  and  study  by  herself.  I 
showed  her  how  to  use  a dictionary  to  look  up  new  words  she  encountered.  Airl 
consulted  the  dictionary  continually  after  that.  From  then  on  my  job  was  acting  as  a 
courier  for  her,  requesting  that  reference  books  be  brought  to  her  in  a steady  stream. 

Next,  Mr.  Newbie  brought  in  a set  of  the  Encyclopedia  Britannica.  42  (Footnote) 

Airl  especially  enjoyed  this  because  it  had  a lot  of  pictures.  After  that,  she  requested 
many  more  picture  books  and  reference  books  with  photographs  and  drawings 
because  it  was  much  easier  to  understand  the  meaning  if  she  could  see  a picture  of 
the  thing  she  was  studying. 

Over  the  next  six  days  books  were  brought  in  from  libraries  all  over  the  country,  I 
presume,  because  it  wasn't  more  than  a few  more  days  before  she  had  read  through 
several  hundred  of  them!  She  studied  every  subject  I could  imagine,  and  many  other 
very  technical  things  I never  wanted  to  know  anything  about,  like  astronomy, 
metallurgy,  engineering,  mathematics,  various  technical  manuals,  and  so  forth. 

Later  she  began  to  read  fiction  books,  novels,  poetry  and  the  classics  of  literature. 

Airl  also  asked  to  read  a great  many  books  on  subjects  in  the  humanities,  especially 
history.  I think  she  must  had  read  at  least  50  books  about  human  history  and 
archaeology.  Of  course,  I made  sure  that  she  received  a copy  of  the  Holy  Bible  also, 
which  she  read  from  cover  to  cover  without  comment  or  questions. 

Although  I continued  to  stay  with  Airl  for  12  to  14  hours  each  day,  most  of  that  time 
during  the  following  week  had  been  spent  without  much  communication  between  us, 
except  for  an  occasional  question  she  asked  me.  The  questions  were  usually  meant 
to  give  her  a sense  of  context  or  to  clarify  something  in  the  books  she  was  reading. 
Oddly,  Airl  told  me  that  her  favorite  books  are  "Alice's  Adventures  in  Wonderland" 


46 


43  (Footnote),  "Don  Quixote  de  la  Mancha"  44  (Footnote)  and  "One  Thousand  and  One 
Nights"  45  (Footnote).  She  said  the  authors  of  these  stories  showed  that  it  is  more 
important  to  have  great  spirit  and  imagination  than  great  skill  or  power. 

I could  not  answer  a lot  of  her  questions,  so  I consulted  with  the  people  in  the  outer 
room  for  answers.  Most  of  these  had  to  do  with  technical  and  scientific  things.  A 
few  of  her  questions  were  about  the  humanities.  The  depth  of  complex 
understanding  and  subtlety  of  her  questions  showed  that  she  had  a very  penetrating 
intellect. 

Personally,  I think  she  had  already  known  a lot  more  about  the  culture  and  history  of 
Earth  than  she  was  willing  to  admit  when  we  started.  I would  soon  discover  how 
much  more."

Chapter  Six 
My  Education  Begins 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"By  the  15th  day  after  "rescuing"  Airl  from  the  crash  site,  I was  able  to  communicate 
fluidly  and  effortlessly  with  her  in  English.  She  had  absorbed  so  much  written 
material  by  this  time  that  her  academic  education  far  exceeded  my  own.  Although  I 
graduated  from  high  school  in  Los  Angeles  in  1 940  and  attended  college  for  four 
years  of  premedical  and  nursing  training,  the  variety  of  my  own  reading  had  been 
fairly  limited. 

I had  not  studied  most  of  the  subjects  to  which  Airl  had  now  been  exposed, 
especially  considering  her  acute  understanding,  very  intense  study  habits  and  a 
nearly  photographic  memory!  She  was  able  to  recall  long  passages  from  books  she 
read.  She  was  especially  fond  of  sections  of  her  favorite  stories  from  classic 
literature  like  The  Adventures  of  Huckleberry  Finn  46  (Footnote),  tales  from 
Gulliver's  Travels  47  (Footnote)  and  Peter  Pan  48  (Footnote)  and  The  Legend  of  Sleepy 
Hollow 49  (Footnote). 

By  this  time  Airl  had  become  the  teacher,  and  I was  the  student.  I was  about  to  learn 
what  men  of  Earth  do  not  know  and  have  no  way  of  knowing! 

The  throng  of  scientists  and  agents  who  observed  us  through  the  one-way  glass  of 
our  interview  room,  whom  Airl  and  I now  referred  to  as  "the  gallery",  were  growing 
increasingly  impatient  to  ask  her  questions.  But  Airl  continued  to  refuse  to  allow 
any  questions  to  be  asked  of  her  by  anyone  other  than  myself,  even  vicariously 
through  me  as  an  interpreter,  or  in  writing. 

On  the  afternoon  of  the  1 6th  day  Airl  and  I sat  next  to  each  other  as  she  read.  She 
closed  the  last  page  of  a book  she  was  reading  and  placed  it  aside.  1 was  about  to 
hand  her  the  next  book  from  a large  pile  waiting  to  be  read,  when  she  turned  and  said 
or  "thought"  to  me,  "I  am  ready  to  speak  now".  At  first  I was  a little  confused  by  the 
remark.  1 gestured  for  her  to  continue  and  she  began  to  teach  me  my  first  lesson."

"What  would  you  like  to  say,  Airl?",  I asked. 

"I  have  been  a part  of  the  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  in 
this  sector  of  space  for  several  thousand  years. 

However,  I have  not  personally  had  intimate  contact  with 
beings  on  Earth  since  5,965  BCE.  It  is  not  my  primary

The  Domain.  I am  an  Officer,  Pilot  and  Engineer,  with

The  last  Earth  language  with  which  I was  conversant  was 
the  Sanskrit  language  of  the  Vedic  Hymns.  50  (Footnote)  At 
that  time  I was  a member  of  a mission  sent  to 
investigate  the  loss  of  a Domain  base  located  in  the 
Himalaya  Mountains.  An  entire  battalion  of  officers, 
pilots,  communications  and  administrative  personnel 
disappeared  and  the  base  destroyed. 

Several  million  years  ago  I was  trained  and  served  as  an 
Investigation,  Data  Evaluation  and  Program  Development 
Officer  for  The  Domain.  Because  I was  experienced  in 
that  technology,  I was  sent  to  Earth  as  part  of  the 
search  team.  One  of  my  duties  involved  interrogation  of 
the  human  population  that  inhabited  the  adjoining  area 
at  that  time.  51  (Footnote)  Many  of  the  people  in  that  region 
reported  sighting  "vimanas"  or  space  craft  in  the  area.  5' 
(Footnote) 

Following  the  logical  extension  of  evidence,  testimony, 
observation,  as  well  as  the  absence  of  certain  evidence, 

I led  my  team  to  the  discovery  that  there  were  still 
"Old  Empire"  ships  and  well-hidden  "Old  Empire" 
installations  in  this  solar  system  of  which  we  had  been 
completely  unaware.

You  and  I were  unable  to  communicate  in  your  language 
because  I,  personally,  have  not  been  exposed  to  your 
language.  However,  now  that  I have  scanned  the  books  and 
material  you  provided  me  this  data  has  been  relayed  to 
our  space  station  in  this  region  and  processed  by  our 
communications  officer  through  our  computers.  It  has 
been  translated  into  my  own  language  and  relayed  back  to 
me  in  a context  that  I can  think  with.  I have  also 
received  additional  information  from  the  files  stored  in 
our  computers  about  the  English  language  and  Domain 
records  concerning  Earth  civilization  ."  53  (Footnote) 

"Now  I am  prepared  to  give  you  certain  information  that 
I feel  will  be  of  great  value  to  you.  I will  tell  you 
the  truth.  Although  truth  is  relative  to  all  other 
truth,  I wish  to  share  with  you  as  honestly  and 
accurately  as  possible,  truth  as  I see  it,  within  the 
boundaries  of  my  integrity  to  myself,  to  my  race  and 
without  violating  my  obligations  to  the  organization  I 
serve  and  have  sworn  to  uphold  and  protect" . 

"OK",  I thought.  "Will  you  answer  questions  from  the 
gallery  now?" 

"No.  I will  not  answer  questions.  I will  provide 
information  to  you  that  I think  will  be  beneficial  to 
the  well-being  of  the  immortal  spiritual  beings  who 
comprise  humanity,  and  that  will  foster  the  survival  of 
all  the  myriad  life  forms  and  the  environment  of  Earth, 
as  it  is  a part  of  my  mission  to  ensure  the  preservation 
of  Earth. 

"Personally,  it  is  my  conviction  that  all  sentient 
beings  are  immortal  spiritual  beings.  This  includes 
human  beings.  For  the  sake  of  accuracy  and  simplicity  I 
will  use  a made-up  word:  "IS-BE".  Because  the  primary 
nature  of  an  immortal  being  is  that  they  live  in  a 
timeless  state  of  "is",  and  the  only  reason  for  their 
existence  is  that  they  decide  to  "be" . 

No  matter  how  lowly  their  station  in  a society,  every 
IS-BE  deserves  the  respect  and  treatment  that  I myself 
would  like  to  receive  from  others.  Each  person  on  Earth 
continues  to  be  an  IS-BE  whether  they  are  aware  of  the 
fact  or  not."

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 


(I  will  never  forget  this  conversation.  Her  tone  was  very  matter-of-fact  and 
emotionless.  However,  for  the  first  time,  I sensed  the  presence  of  a wann  and  real 
"personality"  in  Airl.  Her  reference  to  "immortal  spiritual  beings"  struck  me  like  a 
flash  of  light  in  a dark  room.  I had  never  before  considered  that  a human  being 
could  be  an  immortal  being. 

1 thought  that  status  or  power  was  reserved  solely  for  The  Father,  The  Son,  and  The 
Holy  Ghost.  And,  because  I am  a devout  Catholic  and  subject  to  the  word  of  The 
Lord  Jesus,  and  The  Holy  Father,  I have  never  thought  of  a woman  as  an  immortal 
spiritual  being  either  — not  even  the  Holy  Mother  Mary.  Y et,  when  Airl  thought 
that  thought,  I became  vividly  aware  for  the  very  first  time  that  she,  personally,  was 
an  immortal  spiritual  being,  and  so  are  we  all! 

Airl  said  that  she  sensed  that  I was  confused  about  the  idea.  She  said  she  would 
demonstrate  to  me  that  I am  also  an  immortal  spiritual  being.  She  said,  "Be  above 
your  body!"  Immediately,  I realized  that  I was  "outside"  of  my  body,  looking  down 
from  the  ceiling  at  the  top  of  my  body's  head!  54  (Footnote)  I was  also  able  to  see  the 
room  around  me,  including  Airl's  body  sitting  in  the  chair  next  to  my  own  body. 

After  a moment,  I realized  the  simple,  but  shocking,  reality,  that  "I"  am  not  a body. 

In  that  moment  a black  veil  lifted  and  for  the  first  time  in  my  life,  and  for  a very  long 
time  into  the  past,  I realized  that  I am  not  "my  soul",  but  that  "I"  am  "me"  — a 
spiritual  being.  This  was  an  unexplainable  epiphany,  but  one  that  fills  me  with  a joy 
and  relief  I cannot  recall  having  experienced  ever  before.  As  for  the  "immortal"  part, 
I do  not  understand  her  meaning,  as  I have  always  been  taught  that  I am  not  immortal 
— a spirit,  perhaps  — but  certainly  not  immortal! 

After  a moment  — I'm  not  sure  how  long  — Airl  asked  me  if  I had  a better 
understanding  of  the  idea.  Suddenly,  I was  back  inside  my  body  again,  and  said  out 
loud,  "Yes!  I see  what  you  mean!". 

I was  so  taken  aback  by  the  experience  that  I had  to  get  up  from  my  chair  and  walk 
around  the  room  for  a few  minutes.  I made  an  excuse  that  I needed  to  get  a drink  of 
water,  and  go  to  the  restroom,  which  I did.  In  the  restroom  I looked  at  my  "self1  in 
the  mirror.  I used  the  toilet,  refreshed  my  make-up,  and  straightened  my  uniform. 
After  10  or  15  minutes  I felt  more  "normal"  again  and  returned  to  the  interview 
room. 

After  that  I felt  as  though  I was  no  longer  just  an  interpreter  for  Airl.  I felt  as  though 
I was  a "kindred  spirit".  I felt  like  I was  safe,  at  home,  with  a trusted  friend  or 
family  member,  as  close  as  any  I have  ever  had.  Airl  sensed  and  understood  my 
confusion  about  the  concept  of  "personal  immortality".  She  began  her  first  "lesson" 
with  me  by  explaining  this  to  me." 


51 


(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW  CONTINUED) 


"Airl  told  me  her  reasons  for  coming  to  Earth  and  for 
being  in  the  area  of  the  509th  Bomber  Squadron.  She  was 
sent  by  her  superior  officers  to  investigate  the 
explosions  of  nuclear  weapons  which  have  been  tested  in 
New  Mexico.  Her  superiors  ordered  her  to  gather 
information  from  the  atmosphere  that  could  be  used  to 
determine  the  extent  of  radiation  and  potential  harm 
this  might  cause  to  the  environment.  During  her  mission, 
the  space  craft  was  struck  by  a lighting  55  (Footnote) , which 
caused  her  to  lose  control  and  crash. 

The  space  craft  is  operated  by  IS-BEs  who  use  "doll 
bodies"  in  much  the  same  way  that  an  actor  wears  a mask 
and  costume.  It  is  a like  a mechanical  tool  through 
which  to  operate  in  the  physical  world.  She,  as  well  as 
all  of  the  other  IS-BEs  of  the  officer  class  and  their 
superiors,  inhabit  these  "doll  bodies"  when  they  are  on 
duty  in  space.  When  they  are  not  on  duty,  they  "leave" 
the  body  and  operate,  think,  communicate,  travel,  and 
exist  without  the  use  of  a body. 

The  bodies  are  constructed  of  synthetic  materials, 
including  a very  sensitive  electrical  nervous  system,  to 
which  each  IS-BE  adjusts  themselves  or  "tune  in"  to  an 
electronic  wavelength  56  (Footnote)  that  is  matched  uniquely 
to  the  wavelength  or  frequency  emitted  by  each  IS-BE. 
Each  IS-BE  is  capable  of  creating  a unique  wave 
frequency  which  identifies  them,  much  like  a radio 
signal  frequency.  This  serves,  in  part,  as 
identification  like  a finger  print.  The  doll  body  acts 
like  a radio  receiver  for  the  IS-BE.  No  two  frequencies 
or  doll  bodies  are  exactly  the  same. 

The  bodies  of  each  IS-BE  crew  member  are  likewise  tuned 
into  and  connected  to  the  "nervous  system"  built  into 
the  space  craft.  The  space  craft  is  built  in  much  the 
same  way  as  the  doll  body.  It  is  adjusted  specifically 
to  the  frequency  of  each  IS-BE  crew  member.  Therefore, 
the  craft  can  be  operated  by  the  "thoughts"  or  energy 
emitted  by  the  IS-BE.  It  is  really  a very  simple, 
direct  control  system.  So,  there  are  no  complicated 
controls  or  navigation  equipment  on  board  the  space 
craft.  They  operate  as  an  extension  of  the  IS-BE. 


52 


When  the  lightning  bolt  struck  the  space  craft  this 
caused  a short  circuit  and  consequently  "disconnected" 
them  from  the  control  of  the  ship  momentarily  which 
resulted  in  the  crash. 

Airl  was,  and  still  is,  an  officer,  pilot  and  engineer 
in  an  expeditionary  force  which  is  part  of  a space  opera 
57  (Footnote)  civilization  which  refers  to  itself  as  "The 
Domain".  This  civilization  controls  a vast  number  of 
galaxies,  stars,  planets,  moons  and  asteroids  throughout 
an  area  of  space  that  is  approximately  one-fourth  of  the 
entire  physical  universe!  The  continuing  mission  of  her 
organization  is  to  "Secure,  control  and  expand  the 
territory  and  resources  of  The  Domain". 

Airl  pointed  out  that  their  own  activities  were  very 
similar  in  many  ways  to  the  European  explorers  who 
"discovered"  and  "claimed"  the  New  World  for  The  Holy 
Father,  The  Pope  and  for  the  kings  of  Spain,  Portugal 
and  later,  Holland,  England,  France  and  so  forth.  Europe 
benefited  from  the  property  "acquired"  from  the  native 
inhabitants.  However,  the  native  inhabitants  were  never 
consulted  with  or  asked  for  their  permission  to  become  a 
part  of  the  "domain"  of  European  nations  and  the 
soldiers  and  priests  they  sent  to  acquire  territory  and 
wealth  in  order  to  advance  their  interests. 

Airl  said  she  read  in  a history  book  that  the  Spanish 
king  regretted  the  brutal  treatment  of  the  native 
inhabitants  by  his  soldiers.  He  feared  retribution  from 
the  gods  he  worshipped,  as  described  in  the  various 
testaments  of  the  Bible.  He  asked  the  Pope  to  prepare  a 
statement  called  "The  Requirement"  58  (Footnote)  which  was 
supposed  to  be  read  to  each  of  the  newly  encountered 
native  inhabitants. 

The  king  hoped  that  the  statement,  whether  it  was 
accepted  or  rejected  by  the  natives,  would  absolve  the 
King  of  all  responsibility  for  the  resulting  slaughter 
and  enslavement  of  these  people.  He  used  this  statement 
as  justification  to  confiscate  their  lands  and 
possessions  by  his  soldiers  and  the  Pope's  priests. 
Apparently,  the  Pope,  personally,  did  not  have  any 
feelings  of  guilt  or  responsibility  in  the  matter. 

Airl  thought  that  such  actions  were  those  of  a coward 
and  that  it  is  no  surprise  that  the  territory  of  Spain 


53 


was  diminished  so  quickly.  Only  a few  years  later  the 
king  was  dead  and  his  empire  had  been  assimilated  by 
other  nations . 

Airl  said  that  this  sort  of  behavior  does  not  occur  in 
The  Domain.  Their  leaders  assume  full  responsibility 
for  the  actions  of  The  Domain,  and  would  not  denigrate 
themselves  in  this  fashion.  Nor  do  they  fear  any  gods 
or  have  any  regret  for  their  actions.  This  idea 
reinforces  my  earlier  suggestion  that  Airl  and  her 
people  are  probably  atheists. 

In  the  case  of  the  acquisition  of  Earth  by  The  Domain, 
the  rulers  of  The  Domain  have  chosen  not  to  openly 
reveal  this  intention  to  the  "native  inhabitants"  of 
Earth  until  a later  time  when  it  may,  or  may  not,  suit 
their  interests  to  reveal  themselves.  For  the  present 
time,  it  is  not  strategically  necessary  to  make  the 
presence  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  known  to 
Mankind.  In  fact,  until  now,  it  has  been  very 
aggressively  hidden,  for  reasons  that  will  be  revealed 
later . 

The  asteroid  belt  near  Earth  is  a very  small,  but 
important  location  for  The  Domain  in  this  part  of  space. 
Actually,  some  of  the  objects  in  our  solar  system  are 
very  valuable  for  use  as  low-gravity  "space  stations". 
They  are  interested  primarily  in  the  low  gravity 
satellites  in  this  solar  system  which  consists  mainly  of 
the  side  of  the  moon  facing  away  from  Earth  59  (Footnote)  and 
the  asteroid  belt,  which  was  a planet  that  was  destroyed 
billions  of  years  ago,  and  to  a lesser  degree.  Mars  and 
Venus.  Doom  structures  synthesized  from  gypsum  60  (Footnote) 
or  underground  bases  covered  by  electromagnetic  force 
screens  61  (Footnote)  are  easily  constructed  to  house  the 
Domain  forces . 

Once  an  area  of  space  is  acquired  by  The  Domain  and 
becomes  a part  of  the  territory  under  its  control,  it  is 
treated  as  the  "property"  of  The  Domain.  The  space 
station  near  the  planet  Earth  is  important  only  because 
it  lay  along  a path  of  The  Domain  expansion  route  toward 
the  center  of  the  Milky  Way  galaxy  and  beyond.  Of 
course,  everyone  in  The  Domain  is  aware  of  this  -- 
except  for  the  people  of  Earth."

Chapter  Seven 
A Lesson  In  Ancient  History 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"My  instruction  with  Airl  continued  through  the  night  until  dawn  of  the  next 
morning.  I must  say,  that  I was  fascinated,  skeptical,  shocked,  alarmed,  dismayed 
and  disgruntled  by  the  "lesson"  I was  getting  from  Airl.  I could  never  have  imagined 
any  of  what  she  was  telling  me  — not  even  in  my  wildest  dreams  and  nightmares! 

The  next  afternoon,  after  I had  slept,  showered  and  eaten,  I was  debriefed  about  my 
interview  session  the  previous  evening  by  members  of  the  gallery  who  recorded  my 
account  of  what  Airl  told  me.  There  was  a stenographer  present  for  this  session,  as 
usual,  to  whom  I debriefed  after  each  interview,  and  there  were  also  6 or  7 men  who 
asked  for  clarification  of  my  statements.  As  always,  there  was  constant  pressure 
applied  to  me  to  use  my  influence  with  Airl  to  persuade  her  to  answer  specific 
questions  prompted  by  members  of  the  gallery.  I did  my  best  to  reassure  everyone 
that  I would  give  my  very  best  efforts  to  do  so. 

Nevertheless,  only  three  things  happened  every  day  thereafter: 

1 ) Airl  resolutely  refused  to  answer  any  questions  that  she  sensed  had  been  posed  by 
or  suggested  to  me  by  the  gallery. 

2)  Airl  continued  to  "instruct"  me  in  subject  matter  of  her  own  choice. 

3)  Every  evening  after  my  interview  with,  or  instruction  from  Airl,  she  would  give 
me  a new  list  of  subject  matter  about  which  she  wanted  more  information.  Each 
evening  I presented  this  list  to  the  gallery.  The  next  day  Airl  received  a large  stack 
of  books,  magazines,  articles,  and  so  forth.  She  would  study  all  of  these  during  the 
night  while  I slept.  This  pattern  repeated  every  day  during  the  remainder  of  the  time 
I spent  with  her. 

The  subject  matter  of  my  next  interview,  or  lesson,  from  Airl  continued  with  a brief 
history  of  Earth,  our  solar  system  and  nearby  space,  from  the  perspective  of  The 
Domain."

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  25.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

"Before  you  can  understand  the  subject  of  history,  you 
must  first  understand  the  subject  of  time.  Time  is 
simply  an  arbitrary  measurement  of  the  motion  of  objects 
through  space. 

Space  is  not  linear.  Space  is  determined  by  the  point 
of  view  of  an  IS-BE  when  viewing  a object.  The  distance 
between  an  IS-BE  and  the  object  being  viewed  is  called 
"space" . 

Objects,  or  energy  masses,  in  space  do  not  necessarily 
move  in  a linear  fashion.  In  this  universe,  objects 
tend  to  move  randomly  or  in  a curving  or  cyclical 
pattern,  or  as  determined  by  agreed  upon  rules. 

History  is  not  only  a linear  record  of  events,  as  many 
authors  of  Earth  history  books  imply,  because  it  is  not 
a string  that  can  be  stretched  out  and  marked  like  a 
measuring  tool.  History  is  a subjective  observation  of 
the  movement  of  objects  through  space,  recorded  from  the 
point  of  view  of  a survivor,  rather  than  of  those  who 
succumbed.  Events  occur  interactively  and  concurrently, 
just  as  the  biological  body  has  a heart  that  pumps 
blood,  while  the  lungs  provide  oxygen  to  the  cells, 
which  reproduce,  using  energy  from  the  sun  and  chemicals 
from  plants,  at  the  same  time  as  the  liver  strains  toxic 
wastes  from  the  blood,  and  eliminates  them  through  the 
bladder  and  the  bowels. 

All  of  these  interactions  are  concurrent  and 
simultaneous.  Although  time  runs  consecutively,  events 
do  not  happen  in  an  independent,  linear  stream.  In 
order  to  view  and  understand  the  history  or  reality  of 
the  past,  one  must  view  all  events  as  part  of  an 
interactive  whole.  Time  can  also  be  sensed  as  a 
vibration  which  is  uniform  throughout  the  entire 
physical  universe. 


56 


Airl  explained  that  IS-BEs  have  been  around  since  before 
the  beginning  of  the  universe.  The  reason  they  are 
called  "immortal",  is  because  a "spirit"  is  not  born  and 
cannot  die,  but  exists  in  a personally  postulated 
perception  of  "is  - will  be" . She  was  careful  to  explain 
that  every  spirit  is  not  the  same.  Each  is  completely 
unique  in  identity,  power,  awareness  and  ability. 

The  difference  between  an  IS-BE  like  Airl  and  most  of 
the  IS-BEs  inhabiting  bodies  on  Earth,  is  that  Airl  can 
enter  and  depart  from  her  "doll"  at  will.  She  can 
perceive  at  selective  depths  through  matter.  Airl  and 
other  officers  of  The  Domain  can  communicate 
telepathically . Since  an  IS-BE  is  not  a physical 
universe  entity  it  has  no  location  in  space  or  time. 

An  IS-BE  is  literally,  "immaterial".  They  can  span  great 
distances  of  space  instantly. 

They  can  experience  sensations,  more  intensely  than  a 
biological  body,  without  the  use  of  physical  sensory 
mechanisms.  An  IS-BE  can  exclude  pain  from  their 
perception.  Airl  can  also  remember  her  "identity",  so 
to  speak,  all  the  way  back  into  the  dim  mists  of  time, 
for  trillions  of  years ! 

She  says  that  the  existing  collection  of  suns  in  this 
immediate  vicinity  of  the  universe  have  been  burning  for 
the  last  200  trillion  years.  The  age  of  the  physical 
universe  is  nearly  infinitely  old,  but  probably  at  least 
four  quadrillion  62  (Footnote)  years  since  its  earliest 
beginnings . 

Time  is  a difficult  factor  to  measure  as  it  depends  on 
the  subjective  memory  of  IS-BEs  and  there  has  been  no 
uniform  record  of  events  throughout  the  physical 
universe  since  it  began.  As  on  Earth,  there  are  many 
different  time  measurement  systems,  defined  by  various 
cultures,  which  use  cycles  of  motion,  and  points  of 
origin  to  establish  age  and  duration.  63  (Footnote) 

The  physical  universe  itself  is  formed  from  the 
convergence  and  amalgamation  of  many  other  individual 
universes  64  (Footnote),  each  one  of  which  were  created  by  an 
IS-BE  or  group  of  IS-BEs.  The  collision  of  these 
illusory  universes  commingled  and  coalesced  and  were 
solidified  to  form  a mutually  created  universe.  Because 
it  is  agreed  that  energy  and  forms  can  be  created,  but 


57 


not  destroyed,  65  (Footnote)  this  creative  process  has 
continued  to  form  an  ever-expanding  universe  of  nearly 
infinite  physical  proportions. 

Before  the  formation  of  the  physical  universe  there  was 
a vast  period  during  which  universes  were  not  solid,  but 
wholly  illusionary.  You  might  say  that  the  universe  was 
a universe  of  magical  illusions  which  were  made  to 
appear  and  vanish  at  the  will  of  the  magician.  In  every 
case,  the  "magician"  was  one  or  more  IS-BEs.  Many  IS- 
BEs  on  Earth  can  still  recall  vague  images  from  that 
period.  Tales  of  magic,  sorcery  and  enchantment,  fairy 
tales  and  mythology  speak  of  such  things,  66  (Footnote) 
although  in  very  crude  terms. 

Each  IS-BE  entered  into  the  physical  universe  when  they 
lost  their  own,  "home"  universe.  That  is,  when  an  IS- 
BE  ' s "home"  universe  was  overwhelmed  by  the  physical 
universe,  or  when  the  IS-BE  joined  with  other  IS-BEs  to 
create  or  conquer  the  physical  universe. 

On  Earth,  the  ability  to  determine  when  an  IS-BE  entered 
the  physical  universe  is  difficult  for  two  reasons: 

1)  the  memory  of  IS-BEs  on  Earth  have  been  erased,  and 

2)  IS-BEs  arrival  or  invasion  into  the  physical  universe 
took  place  at  different  times,  some  60  trillion  years 
ago,  and  others  only  3 trillion.  Every  once  in  a short 
while,  a few  million  years,  an  area  or  planet  will  be 
taken  over  by  another  group  of  IS-BEs  entering  into  the 
area . 

Sometimes  they  will  capture  other  IS-BEs  as  slaves.  67 
(Footnote)  They  will  be  forced  to  inhabit  bodies  to  perform 
menial,  or  manual  work  --  especially  mining  mineral  ores 
on  heavy-gravity  planets,  such  as  Earth. 

Airl  says  that  she  has  been  a member  of  The  Domain 
Expeditionary  Force  for  more  than  625  million  years, 
when  she  became  a pilot  for  a biological  survey  mission 
which  included  occasional  visits  to  Earth.  She  can 
remember  her  entire  career  there,  and  for  a very  long 
time  before  that. 

She  told  me  that  Earth  scientists  do  not  have  an 
accurate  measuring  system  to  gauge  the  age  of  matter. 
They  assume  that  because  certain  types  of  materials  seem 
to  deteriorate  rather  quickly,  such  as  organic  or 


58 


carbon-based  matter,  that  there  is  a deterioration  of 
matter.  It  is  not  accurate  to  measure  the  age  of  stone, 
based  on  the  measurement  of  the  age  of  wood  or  bone. 

This  is  a fundamental  error.  Factually,  matter  does  not 
deteriorate.  It  cannot  be  destroyed.  Matter  may  be 
altered  in  form,  but  it  is  never  truly  destroyed. 

The  Domain  has  conducted  a periodic  survey  of  the 
galaxies  in  this  sector  of  the  universe  since  it 
developed  space  travel  technologies  about  80  trillion 
years  ago.  A review  of  changes  in  the  complexion  of 
Earth  reveal  that  mountain  ranges  rise  and  fall, 
continents  change  location,  the  poles  of  the  planet 
shift,  ice  caps  come  and  go,  oceans  appear  and 
disappear,  rivers,  valleys  and  canyons  change.  In  all 
cases,  the  matter  is  the  same.  It  is  always  the  same 
sand.  Every  form  and  substance  is  made  of  the  same 
basic  material,  which  never  deteriorates.

("I  cannot  even  begin  to  imagine  how  advanced  a civilization  may  have  become, 
technically,  and  mentally,  after  trillions  of  years!  Just  think  of  how  advanced  our 
own  country  has  become,  compared  to  only  150  years.  Only  a few  generations  ago 
transportation  was  on  foot,  horseback  or  boat,  reading  was  done  by  candle  light, 
heating  and  cooking  were  done  over  a fireplace,  and  there  wasn't  any  indoor 
plumbing!") 

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

"Airl  described  the  abilities  of  an  IS-BE  officer  of  The 
Domain  to  me,  and  she  demonstrated  one  to  me  when  she 
contacted  --  telepathically  --  a communications  officer 
of  The  Domain  who  is  stationed  in  the  asteroid  belt. 

68  (Footnote) 

The  asteroid  belt  is  composed  of  thousands  of  broken  up 
pieces  of  a planet  that  once  existed  between  Mars  and 
Jupiter.  It  serves  as  a good  low-gravity  jumping  off 
point  for  incoming  space  craft  traveling  toward  the 
center  of  our  galaxy. 

She  requested  that  this  officer  consult  information 
stored  in  the  "files"  of  The  Domain,  concerning  the 
history  of  Earth.  She  asked  the  communications  officer 
to  "feed"  this  information  to  Airl.  The  communications 
officer  immediately  complied  with  the  request.  Based  on 


59 


the  information  stored  in  the  files  of  The  Domain,  Airl 
was  able  to  give  me  a brief  overview  or  "history 
lesson" . This  is  what  Airl  told  me  that  The  Domain  had 
observed  about  the  history  of  Earth: 

She  told  me  that  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  first 
entered  into  the  Milky  Way  galaxy  very  recently  --  only 
about  10,000  years  ago.  Their  first  action  was  to 
conquer  the  home  planets  of  the  "Old  Empire"  (this  is 
not  the  official  name,  but  a nick-name  given  to  the 
conquered  civilization  by  The  Domain  Forces)  that  served 
as  the  seat  of  central  government  for  this  galaxy,  and 
other  adjoining  regions  of  space.  These  planets  are 
located  in  the  stars  systems  in  the  tail  of  the  Big 
Dipper  constellation.  69  (Footnote)  She  did  not  mention  which 
stars,  exactly. 

About  1,500  years  later  The  Domain  began  the 
installation  bases  for  their  own  forces  along  the  path 
of  invasion  which  leads  toward  the  center  of  this  galaxy 
and  beyond.  About  8,200  years  ago  The  Domain  forces  set 
up  a base  on  Earth  in  the  Himalaya  Mountains  near  the 
border  of  modern  Pakistan  and  Afghanistan.  This  was  a 
base  for  a battalion  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force, 
which  included  about  3,000  members. 

They  set  up  a base  under  or  inside  the  top  of  a 
mountain.  The  mountain  top  was  drilled  into  and  made 
hollow  to  create  an  area  large  enough  to  house  the  ships 
and  personnel  of  that  force.  An  electronic  illusion  of 
the  mountain  top  was  then  created  to  hide  the  base  by 
projecting  a false  image  from  inside  the  mountain 
against  a "force  screen".  The  ships  could  then  enter 
and  exit  through  the  force  screen,  yet  remain  unseen  by 
homo  sapiens . 

Shortly  after  they  settled  there  the  base  was  surprised 
by  an  attack  from  a remnant  of  the  military  forces  of 
the  "Old  Empire".  Unbeknownst  to  The  Domain,  a hidden, 
underground  base  on  Mars,  operated  by  the  "Old  Empire", 
had  existed  for  a very  long  time.  The  Domain  base  was 
wiped  out  by  a military  attack  from  the  Mars  base  and 
the  IS-BEs  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  were 
captured. 

You  can  imagine  that  The  Domain  was  very  upset  about 
losing  such  a large  force  of  officers  and  crew,  so  they 


60 


sent  other  crews  to  Earth  to  look  for  them.  Those  crews 
were  also  attacked.  The  captured  IS-BEs  from  The  Domain 
Forces  were  handled  in  the  same  fashion  as  all  other  IS- 
BEs  who  have  been  sent  to  Earth.  They  were  each  given 
amnesia,  had  their  memories  replaced  with  false  pictures 
and  hypnotic  commands  and  sent  to  Earth  to  inhabit 
biological  bodies.  They  are  still  a part  of  the  human 
population  today. 

After  a very  persistent  and  extensive  investigation  into 
the  loss  of  their  crews.  The  Domain  discovered  that  "Old 
Empire"  has  been  operating  a very  extensive,  and  very 
carefully  hidden,  base  of  operations  in  this  part  of  the 
galaxy  for  millions  of  years . No  one  knows  exactly  how 
long.  Eventually,  the  space  craft  of  the  "Old  Empire" 
forces  and  The  Domain  engaged  each  other  in  open  combat 
in  the  space  of  the  solar  system. 

According  to  Airl,  there  was  a running  battle  between 
the  "Old  Empire"  forces  and  The  Domain  until  about  1235 
AD,  when  The  Domain  forces  finally  destroyed  the  last  of 
the  space  craft  of  the  "Old  Empire"  force  in  this  area. 
The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  lost  many  of  its  own 
ships  in  this  area  during  that  time  also. 

About  1,000  years  later  the  "Old  Empire"  base  was 
discovered  by  accident  in  the  spring  of  1914  AD.  The 
discovery  was  made  when  the  body  of  the  Archduke  of 
Austria,  70  (Footnote)  was  "taken  over"  by  an  officer  of  The 
Domain  Expeditionary  Force.  This  officer,  who  was 
stationed  in  the  asteroid  belt,  was  sent  to  Earth  on  a 
routine  mission  to  gather  reconnaissance. 

The  purpose  of  this  "take  over"  was  to  use  the  body  as  a 
"disguise"  through  which  to  infiltrate  human  society  in 
order  to  gather  information  about  current  events  on 
Earth.  The  officer,  as  an  IS-BE,  having  greater  power 
than  the  being  inhabiting  the  body  of  the  Archduke, 
simply  "pushed"  the  being  out  and  took  over  control  of 
the  body. 

However,  this  officer  did  not  realize  how  much  the 
Hapsburgs  were  hated  by  feuding  factions  in  the  country, 
so  he  was  caught  off  guard  when  the  body  of  the  Archduke 
was  assassinated  by  a Bosnian  student.  The  officer,  or 
IS-BE,  was  suddenly  "knocked  out"  of  the  body  when  it 
was  shot  by  the  assassin.  Disoriented,  the  IS-BE 


61 


inadvertently  penetrated  one  of  the  "amnesia  force 
screens"  and  was  captured. 

Eventually  The  Domain  discovered  that  a wide  area  of 
space  is  monitored  by  an  "electronic  force  field" 

71  (Footnote)  which  controls  all  of  the  IS-BEs  in  this  end  of 
the  galaxy,  including  Earth.  The  electronic  force 
screen  is  designed  to  detect  IS-BEs  and  prevent  them 
from  leaving  the  area. 

If  any  IS-BE  attempts  to  penetrate  the  force  screen,  it 
"captures"  them  in  a kind  of  "electronic  net".  The 
result  is  that  the  captured  IS-BE  is  subjected  to  a very 
severe  "brainwashing"  treatment  which  erases  the  memory 
of  the  IS-BE.  This  process  uses  a tremendous  electrical 
shock,  just  like  Earth  psychiatrists  use  "electric  shock 
therapy"  to  erase  the  memory  and  personality  of  a 
"patient"  and  to  make  them  more  "cooperative".  72  (Footnote) 

On  Earth  this  "therapy"  uses  only  a few  hundred  volts  of 
electricity.  However,  the  electrical  voltage  73  (Footnote) 
used  by  the  "Old  Empire"  operation  against  IS-BEs  is  on 
the  order  of  magnitude  of  billions  of  volts ! This 
tremendous  shock  completely  wipes  out  all  the  memory  of 
the  IS-BE.  The  memory  erasure  is  not  just  for  one  life 
or  one  body.  It  wipes  out  the  all  of  the  accumulated 
experiences  of  a nearly  infinite  past,  as  well  as  the 
identity  of  the  IS-BE! 

The  shock  is  intended  to  make  it  impossible  for  the  IS- 
BE  to  remember  who  they  are,  where  they  came  from,  their 
knowledge  or  skills,  their  memory  of  the  past,  and 
ability  to  function  as  a spiritual  entity.  They  are 
overwhelmed  into  becoming  a mindless,  robotic  non- 
entity . 

After  the  shock  a series  of  post  hypnotic  suggestions  74 
(Footnote)  are  used  to  install  false  memories,  and  a false 
time  orientation  in  each  IS-BE.  This  includes  the 
command  to  "return"  to  the  base  after  the  body  dies,  so 
that  the  same  kind  of  shock  and  hypnosis  can  be  done 
again,  and  again,  again  --  forever.  The  hypnotic 
command  also  tells  the  "patient"  to  forget  to  remember. 

What  The  Domain  learned  from  the  experience  of  this 
officer  is  that  the  "Old  Empire"  has  been  using  Earth  as 


62 


a "prison  planet"  for  a very  long  time  --  exactly  how 
long  is  unknown  --  perhaps  millions  of  years. 

So,  when  the  body  of  the  IS-BE  dies  they  depart  from  the 
body.  They  are  detected  by  the  "force  screen",  they  are 
captured  and  "ordered"  by  hypnotic  command  to  "return 
to  the  light".  The  idea  of  "heaven"  and  the  "afterlife" 
are  part  of  the  hypnotic  suggestion  --  a part  of  the 
treachery  that  makes  the  whole  mechanism  work. 

After  the  IS-BE  has  been  shocked  and  hypnotized  to  erase 
the  memory  of  the  life  just  lived,  the  IS-BE  is 
immediately  "commanded",  hypnotically,  to  "report"  back 
to  Earth,  as  though  they  were  on  a secret  mission,  to 
inhabit  a new  body.  Each  IS-BE  is  told  that  they  have  a 
special  purpose  for  being  on  Earth.  But,  of  course 
there  is  no  purpose  for  being  in  a prison  --  at  least 
not  for  the  prisoner. 

Any  undesirable  IS-BEs  who  are  sentenced  to  Earth  were 
classified  as  "untouchable"  75  (Footnote)  by  the  "Old  Empire". 
This  included  anyone  that  the  "Old  Empire"  judged  to  be 
criminals  who  are  too  vicious  to  be  reformed  or  subdued, 
as  well  as  other  criminals  such  as  sexual  perverts,  or 
beings  unwilling  to  do  any  productive  work. 

An  "untouchable"  classification  of  IS-BEs  also  includes 
a wide  variety  of  "political  prisoners"  76  (Footnote).  This 
includes  IS-BEs  who  are  considered  to  be  noncompliant 
"free  thinkers"  or  "revolutionaries"  who  make  trouble 
for  the  governments  of  the  various  planets  of  the  "Old 
Empire".  Of  course,  anyone  with  a previous  military 
record  against  the  "Old  Empire"  is  also  shipped  off  to 
Earth . 

A list  of  "untouchables"  include  artists,  painters, 
singers,  musicians,  writers,  actors,  and  performers  of 
every  kind.  For  this  reason  Earth  has  more  artists  per 
capita  than  any  other  planet  in  the  "Old  Empire". 

"Untouchables"  also  include  intellectuals,  inventors  and 
geniuses  in  almost  every  field.  Since  everything  the 
"Old  Empire"  considers  valuable  has  long  since  been 
invented  or  created  over  the  last  few  trillion  years, 
they  have  no  further  use  for  such  beings . This  includes 
skilled  managers  also,  which  are  not  needed  in  a society 
of  obedient,  robotic  citizens. 


63 


Anyone  who  is  not  willing  or  able  to  submit  to  mindless 
economic,  political  and  religious  servitude  as  a tax- 
paying  worker  in  the  class  system  of  the  "Old  Empire" 
are  "untouchable"  and  sentenced  to  receive  memory  wipe- 
out and  permanent  imprisonment  on  Earth. 

The  net  result  is  that  an  IS-BE  is  unable  to  escape 
because  they  can't  remember  who  they  are,  where  they 
came  from,  where  they  are.  They  have  been  hypnotized  to 
think  they  are  someone,  something,  sometime,  and 
somewhere  other  than  were  they  really  are. 

The  Domain  officer  who  was  "assassinated"  while  in  the 
body  of  Archduke  of  Austria  was,  likewise,  captured  by 
the  "Old  Empire"  force.  Because  this  particular  officer 
was  a high  powered  IS-BE,  compared  to  most,  he  was  taken 
away  to  a secret  "Old  Empire"  base  under  the  surface  of 
the  planet  Mars.  They  put  him  into  a special  electronic 
prison  cell  and  held  him  there. 

Fortunately,  this  Domain  officer  was  able  to  escape  from 
the  underground  base  after  27  years  in  captivity.  When 
he  escaped  from  the  "Old  Empire"  base,  he  returned 
immediately  to  his  own  base  in  the  asteroid  belt.  His 
commanding  officer  ordered  that  a battle  cruiser  be 
dispatched  77  (Footnote)  to  the  coordinates  of  the  base, 
provided  by  this  officer,  and  to  destroy  that  base 
completely.  This  "Old  Empire"  base  was  located  a few 
hundred  miles  north  of  the  equator  on  Mars  in  the 
Cydonia  region  . 78  (Footnote) 

Although  the  military  base  of  the  "Old  Empire"  was 
destroyed,  unfortunately,  much  of  the  vast  machinery  of 
the  IS-BE  force  screens,  the  electroshock  / amnesia  / 
hypnosis  machinery  continues  to  function  in  other 
undiscovered  locations  right  up  to  the  present  moment. 
The  main  base  or  control  center  for  this  "mind  control 
prison"  79  (Footnote)  operation  has  never  been  found.  So,  the 
influences  of  this  base,  or  bases,  are  still  in  effect. 

The  Domain  has  observed  that  since  the  "Old  Empire" 
space  forces  were  destroyed  there  is  no  one  left  to 
actively  prevent  other  planetary  systems  from  bringing 
their  own  "untouchable"  IS-BEs  to  Earth  from  all  over 
this  galaxy,  and  from  other  galaxies  nearby.  Therefore, 
Earth  has  become  a universal  dumping  ground  for  this 
entire  region  of  space. 


64 


This,  in  part,  explains  the  very  unusual  mix  of  races, 
cultures,  languages,  moral  codes,  religious  and 
political  influences  among  the  IS-BE  population  on 
Earth.  The  number  and  variety  of  heterogeneous 
societies  on  Earth  are  extremely  unusual  on  a normal 
planet.  Most  "Sun  Type  12,  Class  7"  planets  are 
inhabited  by  only  one  humanoid  body  type  or  race,  if 
any . 

In  addition,  most  of  the  ancient  civilizations  of  Earth, 
and  many  of  the  events  of  Earth  have  been  heavily 
influenced  by  the  hidden,  hypnotic  operation  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  base.  So  far,  no  one  has  figured  out  exactly 
where  and  how  this  operation  is  run,  or  by  whom  because 
it  is  so  heavily  protected  by  screens  and  traps. 

Furthermore,  there  has  been  no  operation  undertaken  to 
seek  out,  discover  and  destroy  the  vast  and  ancient 
network  of  electronics  machinery  that  create  the  IS-BE 
force  screens  at  this  end  of  the  galaxy.  Until  this  has 
been  done,  we  are  not  able  to  prevent  or  interrupt  the 
electric  shock  operation,  hypnosis  and  remote  thought 
control  80  (Footnote)  of  the  "Old  Empire"  prison  planet. 

Of  course  all  of  the  crew  members  of  The  Domain 
Expeditionary  Force  now  remain  aware  of  this  phenomena 
at  all  times  while  operating  in  this  solar  system  space 
so  as  to  prevent  detection  and  the  capture  by  "Old 
Empire"  traps."

Chapter  Eight 

A Lesson  In  Recent  History 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"This  interview  taught  me  a history  lesson  I will  never  read  in  any  text  book  written 
on  Earth!  The  Domain  has  a much  different  view  of  events  than  we  do." 

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  26.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

"The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  has  observed  a 
resurgence  in  science  and  culture  of  the  Western  world 
since  1150  AD  when  the  remaining  remnants  of  the  space 
fleet  of  the  "Old  Empire"  in  this  solar  system  were 
destroyed.  The  influence  of  the  remote  control  81  (Footnote) 
hypnosis  operation  diminished  slightly  after  that  time, 
but  still  remains  largely  in  force. 

Apparently  a small  amount  of  damage  was  done  to  the  "Old 
Empire"  remote  mind  control  82  (Footnote)  operation  which 
resulted  in  a small  decrease  in  the  power  of  this 
mechanism.  As  a result,  some  memory  of  technologies 
that  IS-BEs  already  knew  before  they  came  to  Earth 
started  to  be  remembered.  Thereafter  the  oppression  of 
knowledge  that  is  called  the  "Dark  Ages"  83  (Footnote)  in 
Europe  began  to  diminish  after  that  time. 

Since  then  knowledge  of  the  basic  laws  of  physics  84 
(Footnote)  and  electricity  88  (Footnote)  have  revolutionized  Earth 
culture  virtually  overnight.  The  ability  to  remember 
technology  by  many  of  the  geniuses  in  the  IS-BE 
population  of  Earth  was  partially  restored,  when  not  so 
actively  suppressed  as  it  was  before  1150  AD.  Sir  Isaac 
Newton,  86  (Footnote)  is  one  of  the  best  examples  of  this.  In 
only  a few  decades  he  single-handedly  reinvented  several 


66 


major  and  fundamental  scientific  and  mathematical 
disciplines . 

The  men  who  "remembered"  these  sciences  already  knew 
them  before  they  were  sent  to  Earth.  Ordinarily,  no  one 
would  ever  observe  or  discover  as  much  about  science  and 
mathematics  in  a single  life-time,  or  even  in  a few 
hundred  life-times.  These  subjects  have  taken 
civilizations  billions  and  billions  of  years  to  create! 

IS-BEs  on  Earth  have  only  just  begun  to  remember  small 
fragments  of  all  the  technologies  that  exist  throughout 
the  universe.  Theoretically,  if  the  amnesia  mechanisms 
being  used  against  Earth  could  be  broken  entirely,  IS- 
BEs  would  regain  all  of  their  memory! 

Unfortunately,  similar  advances  have  not  been  seen  in 
the  humanities  as  the  IS-BEs  of  Earth  continue  to  behave 
very  badly  toward  each  other.  This  behavior,  however, 
is  heavily  influenced  by  the  "hypnotic  commands"  given 
to  each  IS-BE  between  lifetimes . 87  (Footnote) 

And,  the  very  unusual  combination  of  "inmates"  on  Earth 
- criminals,  perverts,  artists,  revolutionaries  and 
geniuses  - is  the  cause  of  a very  restive  and  tumultuous 
environment.  The  purpose  of  the  prison  planet  is  to 
keep  IS-BEs  on  Earth,  forever.  Promoting  ignorance, 
superstition,  and  war  between  IS-BEs  helps  to  keep  the 
prison  population  crippled  and  trapped  behind  "the  wall" 
of  electronic  force  screens. 

IS-BEs  have  been  dumped  on  Earth  from  all  over  the 
galaxy,  adjoining  galaxies,  and  from  planetary  systems 
all  over  the  "Old  Empire",  like  Sirius,  Aldebaron,  the 
Pleiades,  Orion,  Draconis,  and  countless  others.  There 
are  IS-BEs  on  Earth  from  unnamed  races,  civilizations, 
cultural  backgrounds,  and  planetary  environments.  Each 
of  the  various  IS-BE  populations  have  their  own 
languages,  belief  systems,  moral  values,  religious 
beliefs,  training  and  unknown  and  untold  histories. 

These  IS-BEs  are  mixed  together  with  earlier  inhabitants 
of  Earth  who  came  from  another  star  system  more  than 
400, 000  years  ago  to  establish  the  civilizations  of 
Atlanta  88  (Footnote)  and  Lemuria  89  (Footnote).  Those  civilizations 
vanished  beneath  the  tidal  waves  caused  by  a planetary 
"polar  shift",  90  (Footnote)  many  thousands  of  years  before 


67 


the  current  "prison"  population  started  to  arrive. 
Apparently,  the  IS-BEs  from  those  star  systems  were  the 
source  of  the  original,  oriental  races  of  Earth, 
beginning  in  Australia. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  civilizations  set  up  on  Earth  by 
the  "Old  Empire"  prison  system  were  very  different  from 
the  civilization  of  the  "Old  Empire"  itself,  which  is  an 
electronic  space  opera,  atomic  powered  conglomeration  of 
earlier  civilizations  that  were  conquered  with  nuclear 
weapons  and  colonized  by  IS-BEs  from  another  galaxy. 

The  bureaucracy  that  controlled  the  former  "Old  Empire" 
was  from  an  ancient  space  opera  society,  run  by  a 
totalitarian  91  (Footnote)  confederation  of  planetary 
governments,  regulated  by  a brutal  social,  economic,  and 
political  hierarchy,  92  (Footnote)  with  a royal  monarch  as  its 
figurehead.  93  (Footnote) 

This  type  of  government  emerges  with  regularity  on 
planets  where  the  citizens  abandon  personal 
responsibility  for  autonomous,  self-regulation.  They 
frequently  lose  their  freedom  to  demented  IS-BEs  who 
suffer  from  an  overwhelming  paranoia  that  every  other 
IS-BE  is  their  enemy  who  must  be  controlled  or 
destroyed.  Their  closest  friends  and  allies,  whom  they 
espouse  to  love  and  cherish,  are  literally  "loved  to 
death"  by  them. 

Because  such  IS-BEs  exist.  The  Domain  has  learned  that 
freedom  must  be  won  and  maintained  through  eternal 
vigilance  and  the  ability  to  use  defensive  force  to 
maintain  it.  As  a result.  The  Domain  has  already 
conquered  the  governing  planet  of  the  "Old  Empire" . The 
civilization  of  The  Domain,  although  considerably 
younger  and  smaller  in  size,  is  already  more  powerful, 
better  organized,  and  united  by  a egalitarian  esprit  de 
corps  94  (Footnote)  never  known  in  the  history  of  the  "Old 
Empire" . 

The  recently  despoiled  German  totalitarian  state  on 
Earth  was  similar  to  the  "Old  Empire",  but  not  nearly  as 
brutal,  and  about  ten  thousand  times  less  powerful. 

Many  of  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  are  here  because  they  are 
violently  opposed  to  totalitarian  government,  95  (Footnote)  or 
because  they  were  so  psychotically  vicious  that  they 
could  not  be  controlled  by  "Old  Empire"  government. 


68 


Consequently,  the  population  of  Earth  is 
disproportionately  comprised  of  a very  high  percentage 
of  such  beings.  The  conflicting  cultural  and  ethical 
moral  codes  of  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  is  unusual  in  the 
extreme . 

The  Domain  conquest  of  the  central  "Old  Empire"  planets 
was  fought  with  electronic  cannon.  96  (Footnote)  The  citizens 
of  the  planets  forming  the  core  of  government  for  the 
"Old  Empire"  are  a filthy,  degraded,  slave  society  of 
mindless,  tax-paying  workers,  who  practice  cannibalism. 
Violent  automotive  race  tracks  and  bloody,  Roman  circus 
type  entertainments  are  their  only  amusements. 

Regardless  of  any  reasonable  justification  we  may  have 
had  for  using  atomic  weapons  to  vanquish  the  planets  of 
the  "Old  Empire",  The  Domain  is  careful  not  to  ruin  the 
resources  of  those  planets  by  using  weapons  of  crude, 
radioactive  force. 

The  current  U.S.  civilization  is  beginning  to  mimic  some 
of  the  trappings  of  that  civilization,  especially  in  the 
design  of  airplanes,  automobiles,  ships,  trains,  and 
telephones.  Likewise,  buildings  in  the  cities  of  Earth 
are  thought  to  be  "modern"  or  "futuristic"  if  their 
design  resembles  the  architecture  of  the  "Old  Empire" . 

The  government  of  the  "Old  Empire",  before  being 
supplanted  by  The  Domain,  was  comprised  of  beings  who 
possessed  a very  craven  intelligence,  very  much  like  the 
Axis  powers  97  (Footnote)  during  your  recent  world  war.  Those 
beings  manifested  precisely  the  same  behavior  as  the 
galactic  government  that  exiled  them  to  eternal 
imprisonment  on  Earth.  They  were  a gruesome  reminder  of 
the  ageless  maxim  that  an  IS-BE  will  often  manifest  the 
treatment  they  have  received  from  others . Kindness 
fosters  kindness.  Cruelty  begets  cruelty.  One  must  be 
able  and  willing  to  use  force,  tempered  with 
intelligence,  to  prevent  harm  to  the  innocent.  However, 
extraordinary  understanding,  self-discipline  and  courage 
are  required  to  effectively  prevent  brutality,  without 
being  overwhelmed  by  the  malice  that  motivated  the 
brutality . 

Only  a demonic,  self-serving  government  would  employ  a 
"logic"  or  "science"  to  conceive  that  an  "ultimate 
solution"  to  any  problem  is  to  murder  and  permanently 


69 


erase  the  memory  of  every  artist,  genius,  skilled 
manager,  and  inventor,  and  cast  them  into  a planetary 
prison  together  with  political  opponents,  killers, 
thieves,  perverts,  and  disabled  beings  of  an  entire 
galaxy ! 

Once  the  IS-BEs  expelled  from  the  "Old  Empire"  arrived 
on  Earth,  they  were  given  amnesia,  and  hypnotically 
tricked  into  thinking  that  something  else  had  happened 
to  them.  The  next  step  was  to  implant  the  IS-BEs  into 
biological  bodies  on  Earth.  The  bodies  became  the  human 
populations  of  "false  civilizations"  which  were  designed 
and  installed  in  the  minds  of  IS-BEs  to  look  completely 
unlike  the  "Old  Empire". 

All  of  the  IS-BEs  of  India,  Egypt,  Babylon,  Greece, 

Rome,  and  Medieval  Europe  were  guided  to  pattern  and 
build  the  cultural  elements  of  these  societies  based  on 
standard  patterns  developed  by  the  IS-BEs  of  many 
earlier,  similar  civilizations  on  "Sun  Type  12,  Class  7" 
planets  that  have  existed  for  trillions  of  years 
throughout  the  universe. 

In  the  earliest  times  the  IS-BEs  sent  to  prison  Earth 
lived  in  India.  They  gradually  spread  into  Mesopotamia, 
Egypt,  Mesoamerica,  Achaea,  Greece,  Rome,  Medieval 
Europe,  and  to  the  New  World.  They  were  hypnotically 
"commanded"  to  follow  the  pattern  of  a given 
civilization  by  the  "Old  Empire"  prison  operators.  This 
is  an  effective  mechanism  to  disguise  the  actual  time 
and  location  from  the  IS-BEs  imprisoned  on  Earth.  The 
languages,  costumes  and  culture  of  each  false 
civilization  are  intended  to  reinforce  amnesia  because 
they  do  not  remind  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  of  the  original 
"Old  Empire"  planets  from  which  they  were  deported. 

On  the  very  far  back-track  of  time  these  types  of 
civilizations  tended  to  repeat  themselves  over  and  over 
because  the  IS-BEs  who  created  them  become  familiar  with 
certain  patterns  and  styles,  and  stayed  with  them.  It 
is  a lot  of  work  to  invent  an  entire  civilization, 
complete  with  culture,  architecture,  language,  customs, 
mathematics,  moral  values,  and  so  forth.  It  is  much 
easier  to  replicate  a copy  based  on  a familiar  and 
successful  pattern.

A "Sun  Type  12,  Class  7"  planet  is  the  designation  given 
to  a planet  inhabited  by  carbon-oxygen  based  life  forms. 
The  class  of  the  planet  is  based  on  the  size  and 
radiation  intensity  of  the  star,  the  distance  of  the 
planetary  orbit  from  the  star,  and  the  size,  density, 
gravity,  and  chemical  composition  of  the  planet. 

Likewise,  flora  and  fauna  are  designated  and  identified 
according  to  the  star  type  and  class  of  planet  they 
inhabit . 

On  the  average,  the  percentage  of  planets  in  the 
physical  universe  with  a breathable  atmosphere  is 
relatively  small . Most  planets  do  not  have  an 
atmosphere  upon  which  life-forms  "feed",  as  on  Earth, 
where  the  chemical  composition  of  the  atmosphere 
provides  nutrition  to  plants,  and  other  organisms,  which 
in  turn  support  other  life  forms. 

When  the  Domain  Force  brought  the  Vedic  Hymns  98  (Footnote)  to 
the  Himalayas  region  8,200  years  ago,  some  human 
societies  already  existed.  The  Aryan  people  invaded  and 
conquered  India  99  (Footnote)  , bringing  the  Vedic  Hymns  :0'J 

(Footnote)  to  the  area  . 

The  Vedas  were  learned  by  them,  memorized  and  carried 
forward  verbally  for  7,000  years  before  being  committed 
to  written  form.  During  that  span  of  time  one  of  the 
officers  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  was 
incarnated  on  Earth  as  "Vishnu"  101  (Footnote)  . He  is 
described  many  times  in  the  Rig-Veda.  He  is  still 
considered  to  be  a god  by  the  Hindus.  Vishnu  fought  in 
the  religious  wars  against  the  "Old  Empire"  forces.  He 
is  a very  able  and  aggressive  IS-BE  as  well  as  a highly 
effective  officer,  who  has  since  been  reassigned  to 
other  duties  in  The  Domain. 

This  entire  episode  was  orchestrated  as  an  attack  and 
revolt  against  the  Egyptian  pantheon  installed  by  "Old 
Empire"  administrators.  The  conflict  was  intended  to 
help  free  humankind  from  implanted  elements  of  the  false 
civilization  that  focused  attention  on  many  "gods"  and 
superstitious  ritual  worship  demanded  by  the  priests  who 
"managed"  them.  It  is  all  part  of  the  mental 
manipulation  by  the  "Old  Empire"  to  hide  their  criminal 
actions  against  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth. 


71 


A priesthood,  or  prison  guards,  were  used  to  help 
reinforce  the  idea  that  an  individual,  is  only  a 
biological  body,  and  is  not  an  Immortal  Spiritual  Being. 
The  individual  has  no  identity.  The  individuals  have  no 
past  lives.  102  (Footnote)  The  individual  has  no  power.  Only 
the  gods  have  power.  And,  the  gods  are  a contrivance  of 
the  priests  who  intercede  between  men  and  the  gods  they 
serve.  Men  are  slaves  to  the  dictates  of  the  priests 
who  threaten  eternal  spiritual  punishment  if  men  do  not 
obey  them. 

What  else  would  one  expect  on  a prison  planet  where  all 
prisoners  have  amnesia,  and  the  priests  themselves  are 
prisoners?  The  intervention  of  The  Domain  Force  on 
Earth  has  not  been  entirely  successful  due  to  the  secret 
mind-control  operation  of  the  "Old  Empire"  that  still 
continues  to  operate. 

A battle  was  waged  between  the  "Old  Empire"  forces  and 
The  Domain  through  religious  conquest.  Between  1500  BCE 
and  about  1200  BCE,  The  Domain  Forces  attempted  to  teach 
the  concept  of  an  individual.  Immortal  Spiritual  Being 
to  several  influential  beings  on  Earth. 

One  such  instance  resulted  in  a very  tragic 
misunderstanding,  misinterpretation  and  misapplication 
of  the  concept.  The  idea  was  perverted  and  applied  to 
mean  that  there  is  only  one  IS-BE,  instead  of  the  truth 
that  everyone  is  an  IS-BE!  Obviously,  this  was  a gross 
incomprehension  and  an  utter  unwillingness  to  take 
responsibility  for  one's  own  power. 

The  "Old  Empire"  priests  managed  to  corrupt  the  concept 
of  individual  immortality  into  the  idea  that  there  is 
only  one,  all-powerful  IS-BE,  and  that  no  one  else  is  or 
is  allowed  to  be  an  IS-BE.  Obviously,  this  is  the  work 
of  the  "Old  Empire"  amnesia  operation. 

It  is  easy  to  teach  this  altered  notion  to  beings  who  do 
not  want  to  be  responsible  for  their  own  lives.  Slaves 
are  such  beings.  As  long  as  one  chooses  to  assign 
responsibility  for  creation,  existence  and  personal 
accountability  for  one's  own  thoughts  and  actions  to 
others,  one  is  a slave. 

As  a result,  the  concept  of  a single  monotheistic  "god" 
resulted  and  was  promoted  by  many  self-proclaimed 


72 


prophets,  such  as  the  Jewish  slave  leader  --  Moses  -- 
103  (Footnote)  who  grew  up  in  the  household  of  the  Pharaoh 
Amenhotep  III  104  (Footnote)  and  his  son,  Akhenaten  105  (Footnote) 
and  his  wife  Nefertiti,  106  (Footnote)  as  well  as  his  son 
Tutankhamen . 107  (Footnote) 

The  attempt  to  teach  certain  beings  on  Earth  the  truth 
that  they  are,  themselves,  IS-BEs,  was  part  of  a plan  to 
overthrow  the  fictional,  metaphorical,  anthropomorphic 
panoply  of  gods  created  by  the  "Old  Empire"  mystery  cult 
called  "The  Brothers  of  The  Serpent"  108  (Footnote)  known  in 
Egypt  as  the  Priests  of  Amun . 109  (Footnote)  They  were  a very 
ancient,  secret  society  within  the  "Old  Empire". 

The  Pharaoh  Akhenaten  was  not  a very  intelligent  being, 
and  was  heavily  influenced  by  his  personal  ambition  for 
self-glorification.  He  altered  the  concept  of  the 
individual  spiritual  being  and  embodied  the  concept  in 
the  sun  god,  Aten.  His  pitiful  existence  was  soon 
ended.  He  was  assassinated  by  Maya  and  Parennefer,  two 
of  the  Priests  of  Amun,  or  "Amen",  which  the  Christians 
still  say,  who  represented  the  interests  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  forces. 

The  idea  of  "One  God"  was  perpetuated  by  the  Hebrew 
leader  Moses  110  (Footnote)  while  he  was  in  Egypt.  He  left 
Egypt  with  his  adopted  people,  the  Jewish  slaves.  While 
they  were  crossing  the  desert,  Moses  was  intercepted  by 
an  operative  of  the  "Old  Empire"  near  Mt . Sinai.  Moses 
was  tricked  into  believing  that  this  operative  was  "the" 
One  God  through  the  use  of  hypnotic  commands,  as  well  as 
technical  and  aesthetic  tricks  which  are  commonly  used 
by  the  "Old  Empire"  to  trap  IS-BEs.  Thereafter,  the 
Jewish  slaves,  who  trusted  the  word  of  Moses  implicitly, 
have  worshiped  a single  god  they  call  "Yaweh"  . 111  (Footnote). 

The  name  "Yaweh"  means  "anonymous",  as  the  IS-BE  who 
"worked  with"  Moses  could  not  use  an  actual  name  or 
anything  that  would  identify  himself,  or  blow  the  cover 
of  the  amnesia  / prison  operation.  The  last  thing  the 
covert  amnesia  / hypnosis  / prison  system  wants  to  do  is 
to  reveal  themselves  openly  to  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth. 

They  feel  that  this  would  restore  the  inmates  memories! 

This  is  the  reason  that  all  traces  of  physical 
encounters  between  operatives  of  space  civilizations  and 


73 


humans  is  very  carefully  hidden,  disguised,  covered-up, 
denied  or  misdirected. 

This  "Old  Empire"  operative  contacted  Moses  on  a desert 
mountain  top  and  delivered  the  "Ten  Hypnotic  Commands" 
to  him.  These  commands  are  very  forcefully  worded,  and 
compel  an  IS-BE  into  utter  subservience  to  the  will  of 
the  operator.  These  hypnotic  commands  are  still  in 
effect  and  influence  the  thought  patterns  of  millions  of 
IS-BEs  thousands  of  years  later! 

Incidentally,  we  later  discovered  that  the  so-called 
"Yaweh"  also  wrote,  programmed  and  encoded  the  text  of 
the  Torah,  which  when  it  is  read  literally,  or  in  its 
decoded,  112  (Footnote)  form,  will  provide  a great  deal  more 
false  information  to  those  who  read  it. 

Ultimately,  the  Vedic  Hymns  became  the  source  of  nearly 
all  of  Eastern  the  religions  and  were  the  philosophical 
source  of  the  ideas  common  to  Buddha  113  (Footnote),  Laozi 
114  (Footnote),  Zoroaster  115  (Footnote),  and  other  philosophers. 

The  civilizing  influences  of  these  philosophies 
eventually  replaced  the  brutal  idolatry  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  religions  and  were  the  true  genesis  of  kindness 
and  compassion. 

You  asked  me  earlier  why  The  Domain,  and  other  space 
civilizations  do  not  land  on  Earth  or  make  their 
presence  known.  Land  on  Earth?  Do  you  think  we  are 
crazy  or  want  to  be  crazy?  It  takes  a very  brave  IS-BE 
to  come  down  through  the  atmosphere  and  land  on  Earth, 
because  this  is  a prison  planet,  with  a very 
uncontrolled,  psychotic  population.  And,  no  IS-BE  is 
entirely  proof  against  the  risk  of  entrapment,  as  with 
the  members  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  who  were 
captured  in  the  Himalayas  8,200  years  ago. 

No  one  knows  what  IS-BEs  on  Earth  are  going  to  do.  We 
are  not  scheduled  to  invest  the  resources  of  The  Domain 
to  take  total  control  of  all  the  space  surrounding  the 
area  at  this  time.  This  will  occur  in  the  not-to- 
distant  future  --  about  5,000  Earth  years  --  according 
to  the  time  schedule  of  The  Domain.  At  this  time  we  do 
not  prevent  transports  from  other  planetary  systems  or 
galaxies  from  continuing  to  drop  IS-BEs  into  the  amnesia 
force  screen  area.  Eventually,  this  will  change. 


74 


In  addition.  Earth,  inherently,  is  a highly  unstable 
planet.  It  is  not  suitable  for  settlement  or  permanent 
habitation  for  any  sustainable  civilization.  This  is 
part  of  the  reason  why  it  is  being  used  as  a prison 
planet.  No  one  else  would  seriously  consider  living 
here  for  a variety  of  simple  and  compelling  reasons: 

1)  The  continental  land  masses  of  Earth  are  floating  on 
a sea  of  molten  lava  beneath  the  surface  which  causes 
the  land  masses  to  crack,  crumble  and  drift  continually. 

116  (Footnote) 

2)  Because  of  the  liquid  nature  of  the  core,  the  planet 
is  largely  volcanic  and  subject  to  earthquakes  and 
volcanic  explosions. 

3)  The  magnetic  poles  of  the  planet  shift  radically 
about  once  every  20,  000  years.  117  (Footnote)  This  causes  a 
greater  or  lesser  degree  of  devastation  as  a result  of 
tidal  waves,  and  climatic  changes. 

4)  Earth  is  very  distant  from  the  center  of  the  galaxy 
and  from  any  other  significant  galactic  civilization. 
This  isolation  makes  it  unsuitable  for  use,  except  as  a 
"pit  stop"  or  jumping  off  point  along  the  way  between 
galaxies.  The  moon  and  asteroids  are  far  more  suitable 
for  this  purpose  because  they  do  not  have  any 
significant  gravity. 

5)  Earth  is  a heavy  gravity  planet,  with  heavy  metallic 
soil  and  a dense  atmosphere.  This  makes  it  treacherous 
for  navigational  purposes.  That  fact  that  I am  in  this 
room,  as  the  result  of  an  in  flight  accident,  in  spite 
of  the  technology  of  my  craft  and  my  extensive  expertise 
as  a pilot,  are  proof  of  these  facts. 

6)  There  are  approximately  sixty  billion  Earth-like  (Sun 
Type  12,  Class  7)  planets  in  the  Milky  Way  galaxy  alone, 
not  to  mention  the  vast  expanses  of  The  Domain,  and  the 
territories  we  will  claim  in  the  future.  It  is 
difficult  to  stretch  our  resources  to  do  much  more  than 
a periodic  reconnaissance  of  Earth.  Especially  when 
there  are  no  immediate  advantages  to  invest  resources 
here . 

7)  On  Earth  most  beings  are  not  aware  that  they  are  IS- 
BEs,  or  that  there  are  spirits  of  any  kind.  Many  other 


75 


beings  are  aware  of  this,  but  nearly  everyone  has  a very 
limited  understanding  of  themselves  as  an  IS-BE. 

One  of  the  reasons  for  this  is  that  IS-BEs  have  been 
waging  war  against  each  other  since  the  beginning  of 
time.  The  purpose  of  these  wars  have  always  been  to 
establish  domination  by  one  IS-BE  or  group  of  IS-BEs 
over  another.  Since  an  IS-BE  cannot  be  "killed",  the 
objective  has  been  to  capture  and  immobilize  IS-BEs. 

This  has  been  done  in  an  nearly  unlimited  variety  of 
ways.  The  most  basic  method  to  capture  and  immobilize 
an  IS-BE  is  through  the  use  of  various  kinds  of  "traps". 

IS-BE  traps  have  been  made  and  put  in  place  by  many 
invading  societies,  such  as  the  one  that  established  the 
"Old  Empire",  beginning  about  sixty-four  trillion  years 
ago.  Traps  are  often  set  up  in  the  "territory"  of  the 
IS-BEs  being  attacked.  Usually  a trap  is  set  with  the 
electronic  wave  of  "beauty"  to  attract  the  interest  and 
attention  of  the  IS-BE.  When  the  IS-BE  moves  toward  the 
source  of  the  aesthetic  wave,  such  as  a beautiful 
building  or  beautiful  music,  the  trap  is  activated  by 
the  energy  put  out  by  the  IS-BE. 

One  of  the  most  common  trap  mechanism  uses  the  IS-BE 's 
own  thought  energy  output  when  the  IS-BE  tries  to  attack 
or  fight  back  against  the  trap.  The  trap  is  activated 
and  energized  by  the  IS-BE 's  own  thought  energy.  The 
harder  the  IS-BE  fights  against  the  trap,  the  more  it 
pulls  the  IBS  toward  it  and  keeps  them  "stuck"  in  the 
trap . 

Throughout  the  entire  history  of  this  physical  universe, 
vast  areas  of  space  have  been  taken  over  and  colonized 
by  IS-BE  societies  who  invade  and  take  over  new  areas  of 
space  in  this  fashion.  In  the  past,  these  invasions 
have  always  shared  common  elements : 

1)  the  overwhelming  use  of  force  of  arms,  usually  with 
nuclear  or  electronic  weapons. 

2)  mind  control  of  the  IS-BEs  in  the  invaded  area 
through  the  use  of  electroshock,  drugs,  hypnosis, 
erasure  of  memory  and  the  implantation  of  false  memory 
or  false  information  intended  to  subjugate  and  enslave 
the  local  IS-BE  population. 


76 


3)  take  over  of  natural  resources  by  the  invading  IS- 
BEs . 

4)  political,  economic  and  social  slavery  of  the  local 
population . 

These  activities  continue  in  present  time.  All  of  the 
IS-BEs  on  Earth  have  been  members  of  one  or  more  of 
these  activities  in  the  past,  both  as  an  invader,  or  as 
part  of  the  population  being  invaded.  There  are  no 
"saints"  in  this  universe.  Very  few  have  avoided  or 
been  exempted  from  warfare  between  IS-BEs. 

IS-BEs  on  Earth  are  still  the  victims  of  this  activity 
at  this  very  moment.  The  between-lives  amnesia 
administered  to  IS-BEs  is  one  on  the  mechanisms  of  an 
elaborate  system  of  "Old  Empire"  IS-BE  traps,  that 
prevent  an  IS-BE  from  escaping. 

This  operation  is  managed  by  an  illicit,  renegade  secret 
police  118  (Footnote)  force  of  the  "Old  Empire",  using  false 
provocation  operations  to  disguise  their  activities 
119  (Footnote)  in  order  to  prevent  detection  by  their  own 
government.  The  Domain  and  by  the  victims  of  their 
activities . They  are  mind-control  methods  developed  by 
government  psychiatrists.  120  (Footnote) 

Earth  is  a "ghetto"  121  (Footnote)  planet.  It  is  the  result 
of  an  intergalactic  "Holocaust".  122  (Footnote)  IS-BEs  have 
been  sentenced  to  Earth  either  because: 

1)  They  are  too  viciously  insane  or  perverse  to  function 
as  part  of  any  civilization,  no  matter  how  degraded  or 
corrupt . 

2)  Or,  they  are  a revolutionary  threat  to  the  social, 
economic  and  political  caste  system  that  has  been  so 
carefully  built  and  brutally  enforced  in  the  "Old 
Empire".  Biological  bodies  are  specifically  designed 
and  designated  as  the  lowest  order  of  entity  in  the  "Old 
Empire"  caste  system.  When  an  IS-BE  is  sent  to  Earth, 
and  then  tricked  or  coerced  into  operating  in  a 
biological  body,  they  are  actually  in  a prison,  inside  a 
prison . 

3)  In  an  effort  to  permanently  and  irreversibly  rid  the 
"Old  Empire"  of  such  "untouchables",  the  eternal 


77 


identity,  memory,  and  abilities  of  every  IS-BE  is 
forcefully  erased.  This  "final  solution"  123  (Footnote)  was 
conceived  and  carried  out  by  the  psychopathic  criminals 
who  are  controlled  by  the  "Old  Empire". 

The  mass  extermination  of  "untouchables"  and  prison 
camps  created  by  Germany  during  World  War  II  were 
recently  revealed.  Likewise,  the  IS-BEs  of  Earth  are  the 
victims  of  spiritual  eradication  and  eternal  slavery 
inside  frail,  biological  bodies,  inspired  by  the  same 
kind  of  craven  hatred  in  the  "Old  Empire" . 

The  kind  and  creative  inmates  of  Earth  are  continuously 
tortured  by  butchers  and  lunatics  who  are  controlled  by 
the  "Old  Empire"  prison  operators.  The  so-called 
"civilizations"  of  Earth,  from  the  age  of  useless 
pyramids  to  the  age  of  nuclear  holocaust,  have  been  a 
colossal  waste  of  natural  resources,  a perverted  use  of 
intelligence,  and  an  overt  oppression  of  the  spiritual 
essence  of  every  single  IS-BE  on  the  planet. 

If  The  Domain  sent  ships  to  every  corner  of  the  universe 
in  search  of  "Hell",  their  quest  could  end  on  Earth. 

What  greater  brutality  can  be  inflicted  on  anyone  than 
to  erase  the  spiritual  awareness,  identity,  ability, 
and  memory  that  is  the  essence  of  oneself? 

The  Domain  has,  as  yet,  been  unable  to  rescue  the  3,000 
IS-BEs  of  the  Expeditionary  Force  Battalion  either. 

They  are  forced  to  inhabit  biological  bodies  on  Earth. 

We  have  been  able  to  recognize  and  track  most  of  them 
for  the  past  8,000  years.  However,  our  attempts  to 
communicate  with  them  are  usually  futile,  as  they  are 
unable  to  remember  their  true  identity. 

The  majority  of  lost  members  of  The  Domain  force  have 
followed  the  general  progression  of  Western  civilization 
from  India,  into  the  Middle  East,  then  to  Chaldea,  and 
Babylon,  into  Egypt,  through  Achaia,  Greece,  Rome,  into 
Europe,  to  the  Western  Hemisphere,  and  then  all  around 
the  world. 

The  members  of  the  lost  Battalion  and  many  other  IS-BEs 
on  Earth,  could  be  valuable  citizens  of  The  Domain,  not 
including  those  who  are  vicious  criminals  or  perverts. 
Unfortunately,  there  has  been  no  workable  method 
conceived  to  emancipate  the  IS-BEs  from  Earth. 


78 


Therefore,  as  a matter  of  common  logic,  as  well  as  the 
official  policy  of  The  Domain,  it  is  safer  and  more 
sensible  to  avoid  contact  with  the  IS-BE  population  of 
Earth  until  such  time  as  the  proper  resources  can  be 
allocated  to  locate  and  destroy  the  "Old  Empire"  force 
screen  and  amnesia  machinery  and  develop  a therapy  to 
restore  the  memory  of  an  IS-BE."

A Time  Line  of  Events 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"For  this  interview  I took  written  notes  because  Airl  gave  me  a lot  of  dates  and 
names  that  I couldn't  possibly  remember  without  writing  them  down.  I didn't  usually 
take  notes,  but  during  this  lesson  I thought  it  was  important  to  get  the  information 
exactly  as  she  gave  it  to  me.  However,  I discovered  that  my  note  taking  made  it 
much  more  difficult  for  me  to  focus  on  receiving  the  communication  from  Airl.  I 
was  sometimes  so  distracted  by  my  own  writing  that  I lost  the  train  of  her  thought,  so 
I had  to  ask  her  to  "repeat"  herself  several  times. 

Airl  continued  to  stay  in  communication  with  the  Communications  Officer  on  the 
asteroid  belt  space  station,  from  which  she  received  much  of  this  information.  Since 
Airl  was  an  officer  / pilot  / engineer  of  The  Domain,  and  not  a historian,  she  had  to 
get  this  information  from  records  of  reconnaissance  missions  conducted  by  other 
officers  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force." 

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  27.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

"The  actual  history  of  Earth  is  very  bizarre.  It  is  so 
nonsensical  that  is  it  is  incredible  to  anyone  on  Earth 
who  attempts  to  investigate  it.  A myriad  of  vital 
information  is  missing  from  it.  A huge  conglomeration 
of  non  sequitur  relics  and  mythology  has  been  arbitrarily 
introduced  into  it.  The  volatile  nature  of  the  Earth 
itself  cyclically  covers,  drowns,  mixes  and  shreds 
physical  evidence. 

These  factors,  combined  with  amnesia  and  post-hypnotic 
suggestions,  false  facades  and  covert  manipulation  make 
a reconstruction  of  the  factual  origins  and  history  of 
Earth  civilizations  virtually  indecipherable.  Any 


80 


investigator,  no  matter  how  brilliant,  is  doomed  to 
wallow  in  a quagmire  of  inconclusive  assumptions, 
unworkable  hypotheses,  and  perpetual  mystery. 

Since  The  Domain  does  not  suffer  these  afflictions, 
having  the  advantage  of  memory,  longevity  and  an 
exterior  point  of  view,  I will  add  some  clarification  to 
your  fragmentary  knowledge  of  the  history  of  Earth. 

These  are  some  of  the  dates  and  events  that  are  not 
mentioned  in  Earth  history  textbooks.  These  dates  are 
significant  because  they  provide  some  information 
concerning  the  influences  of  the  "Old  Empire"  and  of  The 
Domain  on  Earth. 

Although  I have  attended  several  briefings  by  our 
mission  control  personnel  on  the  general  background  of 
Earth  within  the  past  few  hundred  years,  I will  rely 
principally  on  data  gathered  from  records  captured 
after  our  invasion  of  the  "Old  Empire"  planetary 
headquarters.  Since  that  time  The  Domain  Expeditionary 
Force  has  tracked  the  general  progress  of  events  on 
Earth . 

As  I mentioned,  in  some  cases  The  Domain  has  chosen  to 
intervene  in  certain  affairs  on  Earth  in  order  to  ensure 
the  success  of  our  long  term  expansion  plans.  Although 
The  Domain  has  no  interest  in  Earth,  per  se,  or  in  the 
population  of  IS-BEs  on  this  planet,  it  does  serve  our 
interests  to  ensure  that  the  resources  of  Earth  are  not 
destroyed  or  spoiled.  To  that  end,  certain  officers  of 
The  Domain  have  been  sent  to  Earth  on  reconnaissance 
missions  from  time  to  time  to  gather  information. 

However,  the  following  dates  and  events  have  been 
extrapolated  from  the  accumulated  information  in  the 
data  files  of  The  Domain  --  at  least  those  that  are 
accessible  to  me  through  the  space  station 
communications  center. 

208, 000  BCE  — 

The  establishment  of  the  "Old  Empire",  whose 
headquarters  were  located  near  one  of  the  "tail  stars" 
in  the  Ursa  Major  (Big  Dipper)  Constellation  124  (Footnote)  of 
this  galaxy.  The  "Old  Empire"  invasion  force  conquered 
the  area  with  nuclear  weapons  sometime  earlier.  After 


81 


the  radioactivity  125  (Footnote)  subsided  and  the  clean-up  and 
restoration  were  completed,  it  received  the  immigration 
of  beings  from  another  galaxy  into  this  galaxy.  Those 
beings  set  up  a society  that  kept  going  until  about 
10,000  years  ago  when  it  was  superseded  by  The  Domain. 

Very  recently  Earth  civilization  has  come  to  resemble 
aspects  of  that  civilization,  now  that  it  has  fallen  out 
of  its  immediate  control.  In  particular,  the  appearance 
and  technology  of  transportation  such  as  planes,  trains, 
ships,  fire  engines,  and  automobiles,  as  well  as  what 
you  consider  to  be  "modern"  or  "futuristic" 
architecture,  which  emulate  the  design  of  buildings  in 
the  major  cities  of  the  "Old  Empire". 

Before  75,000  BCE  -- 

The  Domain  records  contain  very  little  information  about 
the  civilizations  on  the  continental  land  masses  of 
Atlanta  126  (Footnote)  and  Lemur  127  (Footnote),  except  to  note  that 
they  did  coexist  on  Earth  at  more  or  less  the  same  time. 
Apparently,  both  civilizations  were  founded  by  remnants 
of  electronic,  space  opera  cultures  who  fled  from  their 
native  planetary  systems  to  escape  political  or 
religious  persecution. 

The  Domain  knows  that  a long-standing  edict  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  prohibits  unauthorized  colonization  of  planets. 
Therefore,  it  is  possible  that  their  destruction  was 
caused  by  police  or  military  forces  who  pursued  the 
colonists  as  criminals  and  destroyed  them.  Although 
this  seems  a likely  supposition,  no  conclusive  evidence 
exists  that  explains  the  complete  destruction  and 
disappearance  of  two  entire  electronic  civilizations. 

Another  possibility  is  that  a massive  submarine  volcanic 
eruption  in  the  region  of  Lake  Toba,  in  Sumatra  128  (Footnote) 
and  Mt . Krakatoa  129  (Footnote)  in  Java  caused  the  destruction 
of  Lemur.  The  flood  waters  caused  by  the  eruption 
overwhelmed  all  the  land  masses,  including  the  highest 
mountains.  Survivors  of  the  destruction  of  the 
civilization,  the  Lemurians,  are  the  earliest  ancestors 
of  the  Chinese.  Australia  and  the  ocean  areas  to  the 
north  were  the  center  of  the  Lemurian  civilization  and 
are  the  source  of  Oriental  races.  Both  civilizations 
possessed  electronics,  flight  and  similar  technologies 
of  space  opera  cultures. 


82 


Apparently,  the  volcanic  eruption  expelled  such  a 
significant  mass  of  molten  rock  that  the  resulting 
vacuum  beneath  the  crust  of  Earth  caused  great  areas  of 
the  land  masses  to  sink  below  the  oceans . The 
continental  areas  occupied  by  both  civilizations  were 
covered  with  volcanic  matter,  and  then  submerged, 
leaving  very  little  evidence  that  they  ever  existed 
except  for  legends  of  a global  flood  which  prevail  in 
every  culture  of  the  Earth,  and  for  survivors  who  are 
the  genus  of  oriental  races  and  cultures . 

That  kind  of  colossal  volcanic  explosion  130  (Footnote)  fills 
the  stratosphere  with  toxic  gases  which  are  carried 
around  the  whole  planet.  The  usual  refuse  of  these 
volcanic  eruptions  can  easily  cause  a rain  that  lasts 
for  "40  days  and  40  nights"  due  to  atmospheric  pollution 
as  well  as  an  extensive  period  during  which  radiation 
from  the  sun  is  deflected  back  into  space,  and  cause 
global  cooling.  131  (Footnote)  Certainly  such  an  event  would 
cause  an  ice  age,  extinctions  of  life  forms  and  many 
other  relatively  long-term  changes  lasting  thousands  of 
years . 

Due  to  the  myriad  types  of  naturally  occurring  global 
cataclysmic  events  which  are  indigenous  to  Earth,  it  is 
not  a suitable  planet  for  habitation  by  IS-BEs.  In 
addition  there  have  been  occasional  global  cataclysms 
caused  by  IS-BEs  such  as  the  one  that  destroyed  the 
dinosaurs  132  (Footnote) more  than  70  million  years  ago.  That 
destruction  was  caused  by  intergalactic  warfare  during 
which  time  Earth,  and  many  other  neighboring  moons  and 
planets,  were  bombarded  by  atomic  weapons.  Atomic 
explosions  cause  atmospheric  fallout  much  like  that  of 
volcanic  eruptions.  133  (Footnote)  Most  of  the  planets  in  this 
sector  of  the  galaxy  have  been  uninhabitable  deserts 
since  then. 

Earth  is  undesirable  for  many  other  reasons:  heavy 
gravity  and  dense  atmosphere,  floods,  earthquakes, 
volcanoes,  polar  shifts,  continental  drift,  meteor 
impacts,  atmospheric  and  climatic  changes,  to  name  a 
few.  What  kind  of  lasting  civilization  could  any 
sophisticated  culture  propose  to  develop  in  such  an 
environment? 


83 


In  addition.  Earth  is  a small  planet  of  a "rim  star"  of 
a galaxy.  This  makes  Earth  very  isolated  geographically 
from  the  more  concentrated  planetary  civilizations  which 
exist  toward  the  center  of  the  galaxy.  These  obvious 
facts  have  made  Earth  suitable  for  use  only  as  a 
zoological  or  botanical  garden,  or  for  it's  current  use 
as  a prison  --  but  not  much  else. 

Before  30,000  BCE  -- 

Earth  started  being  used  a dumping  ground  and  prison  for 
IS-BEs  who  were  judged  "untouchable",  meaning  criminal 
or  non-conformists.  IS-BEs  were  captured,  encapsulated 
in  electronic  traps  and  transported  to  Earth  from 
various  parts  of  the  "Old  Empire".  Underground  "amnesia 
stations"  were  set  up  on  Mars  and  on  Earth  in  the 
Rwenzori  Mountains  134  (Footnote)  in  Africa,  in  the  Pyrenees 
Mountains  135  (Footnote)  of  Portugal,  and  in  steppes  of 
Mongolia.  136  (Footnote) 

These  electronic  monitoring  points  create  force  screens 
designed  to  detect  and  capture  IS-BEs,  when  the  IS-BE 
departs  the  body  at  death.  IS-BEs  are  brainwashed  using 
extreme  electronic  force  in  order  to  maintain  Earth's 
population  in  state  of  perpetual  amnesia.  Further 
population  controls  are  installed  through  the  use  of 
long  range  electronic  thought  control  mechanisms . 

These  stations  are  still  in  operation  and  they  are 
extremely  difficult  to  attack  or  destroy,  even  for  The 
Domain,  which  will  not  maintain  a significant  military 
force  in  this  area  until  a later  date. 

The  pyramid  civilizations  were  intentionally  created  as 
part  of  the  IS-BE  prison  system  on  Earth.  The  pyramid 
is  alleged  to  be  the  symbol  for  "wisdom".  However,  the 
"wisdom"  of  the  "Old  Empire"  on  planet  Earth  is  intended 
to  operate  as  part  of  the  elaborate  amnesia  "trap" 
consisting  of  MASS,  MEANING  and  MYSTERY.  These  are 
opposite  to  the  qualities  of  an  Immortal  Spiritual  Being 
which  have  no  mass,  or  meaning.  An  IS-BE  "is"  solely 
because  it  thinks  that  it  "is". 

MASS  represents  the  physical  universe,  including  objects 
such  as  stars,  planets,  gases,  liquids,  energy  particles 
and  tea  cups.  The  Pyramids  were  very,  very  solid 
objects,  as  were  all  of  the  structures  created  by  the 
"Old  Empire".  Heavy,  massive,  dense,  solid  objects 


84 


create  the  illusion  of  eternity.  Dead  bodies  wrapped  in 
linen,  soaked  in  resin,  placed  inside  engraved  golden 
coffins  and  entombed  with  Earthly  possessions  amid 
cryptic  symbols  create  an  illusion  of  eternal  life. 
However,  dense,  heavy  physical  universe  symbols  are  the 
exact  opposite  of  an  IS-BE.  An  IS-BE  has  no  mass  or 
time.  Objects  do  not  endure  forever.  An  IS-BE  "is" 
forever . 

MEANING:  False  meanings  prevent  knowledge  of  the  truth. 

The  pyramid  cultures  of  Earth  are  a fabricated  illusion. 
They  are  nothing  more  than  "false  civilizations" 
contrived  by  the  "Old  Empire"  mystery  cult  called  the 
Brothers  of  the  Serpent.  False  meanings  were  invented 
to  create  the  illusion  of  a false  society  to  further 
reinforce  the  amnesia  mechanism  among  the  intimates  in 
the  Earth  prison  system. 

MYSTERY  is  built  of  lies  and  half-truths.  Lies  cause 
persistence  because  they  alter  facts  which  are  comprised 
of  exact  dates,  places  and  events.  When  truth  is  known, 
a lie  no  longer  persists.  If  the  exact  truth  is 
revealed,  it  is  no  longer  a mystery. 

All  of  the  pyramid  civilizations  of  Earth  were  carefully 
contrived  of  layer  upon  layer  of  lies,  skillfully 
combined  with  a few  truths.  The  priest  cult  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  combined  sophisticated  mathematics  and  space 
opera  technology,  with  theatrical  metaphors  and 
symbolism.  All  of  these  are  complete  fabrications  of 
truth,  baited  with  the  allure  of  aesthetics  and  mystery. 

The  intricate  rituals,  astronomical  alignments,  secret 
rites,  massive  monuments,  marvelous  architecture, 
artistically  rendered  hieroglyphs  and  man-animal  "gods" 
were  designed  to  create  a unsolvable  mystery  for  the  IS- 
BE  prison  population  on  Earth.  The  mystery  diverts 
attention  away  from  the  truth  that  IS-BEs  have  been 
captured,  given  amnesia  and  imprisoned  on  a planet  far, 
far  away  from  their  home. 

The  truth  is  that  every  single  IS-BE  on  Earth  came  to 
Earth  from  some  other  planetary  system.  Not  one  person 
on  Earth  is  a "native"  inhabitant.  Human  beings  did  not 
"evolve"  on  Earth. 


85 


In  the  past,  Egyptian  society  was  run  by  the  prison 
administrators  or  priests,  who,  in  turn,  manipulated  a 
Pharaoh,  controlled  the  treasury  and  kept  the  inmate 
population  enslaved  physically  and  spiritually.  In 
modern  times,  the  priests  have  changed,  but  the  function 
is  the  same.  However,  now  the  priest  are  prisoners  too. 

Mystery  reinforces  the  walls  of  the  prison.  The  "Old 
Empire"  feared  that  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  might  regain 
their  memory.  Therefore,  one  of  the  primary  functions 
of  The  "Old  Empire"  priesthood  is  to  prevent  IS-BEs  on 
Earth  from  remembering  who  they  really  are,  how  they 
came  to  Earth,  where  they  came  from. 

The  "Old  Empire"  operators  of  the  prison  system,  and 
their  superiors,  do  not  want  IS-BEs  to  remember  who 
murdered  them,  captured  them,  stole  all  of  their 
possessions,  sent  them  to  Earth,  gave  them  amnesia  and 
condemned  them  to  eternal  imprisonment! 

Imagine  what  might  happen  if  all  of  the  inmates  in  the 
prison  suddenly  remembered  that  they  have  the  right  to 
be  free!  What  if  they  suddenly  realized  that  they  have 
been  falsely  imprisoned  and  rise  up  as  one  against  the 
guards? 

They  are  afraid  to  reveal  anything  that  looks  like  the 
civilization  of  the  inmates  home  planets.  A body,  a 
piece  of  clothing,  a symbol,  a space  ship,  an  advanced 
electronics  device,  or  any  other  remnant  of  civilization 
from  a home  planet  could  "remind"  a being  and  rekindle 
his  memory. 

Sophisticated  technologies  of  entrapment  and 
enslavement,  which  were  developed  over  millions  of 
years  in  the  "Old  Empire",  have  been  applied  to  the  IS- 
BEs  on  Earth  with  the  intention  to  create  a false  facade 
for  the  prison.  These  facades  were  installed  on  Earth 
in  totality,  all  at  once.  Every  piece  is  a fully 
integrated  part  of  the  prison  system. 

This  includes  a religion  of  mumbo-jumbo  double-speak. 
Every  pyramid  civilization  uses  this  as  part  of  a 
control  mechanism  to  keep  the  population  enslaved  by 
force,  by  fear  and  by  ignorance.  The  indecipherable 
muddle  of  irrelevant  information,  geometric  designs, 
mathematical  calculation,  astronomical  alignments,  are 


86 


part  of  a false  spirituality  based  on  solid  objects, 
rather  than  immortal  spirits,  in  order  to  confuse  and 
disorient  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth. 

When  the  body  of  a person  died  they  were  buried  with 
their  Earthly  possessions,  including  their  former  body 
wrapped  in  linen,  to  sustain  their  "soul"  or  "Ka"  after 
death.  An  IS-BE  does  not  "have"  as  soul.  An  IS-BE  is  a 
soul . 

On  the  home  planet  of  an  IS-BE  their  material 
possessions  were  not  lost,  stolen  or  forgotten  when  the 
being  died  or  left  the  body.  An  IS-BE  could  return  and 
claim  the  possessions.  However,  if  the  IS-BE  has 
amnesia,  they  will  not  remember  that  they  had  any 
possession.  So,  governments,  insurance  companies, 
bankers,  family  members  and  other  vultures  can  pick 
their  possessions  clean  without  fear  of  retribution  from 
the  deceased.  137  (Footnote) 

The  only  reason  for  these  false  meanings  is  to  instill 
the  idea  that  an  IS-BE  is  NOT  a spirit,  but  a physical 
object!  This  is  a lie.  It  is  a trap  for  an  IS-BE. 

Countless  people  have  spent  endless  hours  attempting  to 
solve  the  jig-saw  puzzle  of  Egypt  and  other  "Old  Empire" 
civilizations.  They  are  puzzles  made  of  pieces  that  do 
not  fit.  A question  states  its  own  answer.  What  is  the 
mystery  of  Egypt  and  other  pyramid  cultures?  Mystery! 

circa  15,000  BCE  -- 

The  "Old  Empire"  forces  supervised  the  construction  of  a 
hydraulic  mining  operations  in  the  Andes  Mountains  in 
present  day  Bolivia  near  Lake  Titicaca  (Lake  of  Tin 
Stones)  at  Tiahuanaco  138  (Footnote)  including  construction  of 
the  massive  stone  complex  of  carved  stone  buildings 
known  as  Kalasasaya  and  its  "Gate  of  the  Sun"  at  an 
elevation  of  nearly  14,000  feet. 

11, 600  BCE  — 

The  Polar  Axis  of  Earth  shifted  139  (Footnote)  to  a sea  area. 
The  last  Ice  Age  came  to  an  end  abruptly  as  the  polar 
ice  caps  melted  and  the  level  of  the  ocean  rose  to 
submerge  large  sections  of  the  land  masses  of  Earth. 

The  last  remaining  vestiges  of  Atlantis  and  Lemuria  were 


87 


covered  by  water.  Massive  extinctions  of  animals 
occurred  in  the  Americas,  Australia  and  the  Artie 
Regions  due  to  the  shift  of  the  poles. 

10,450  BCE  — 

Plans  were  made  by  the  "Old  Empire"  IS-BE  called  Thoth 
for  construction  of  a Great  Pyramid  of  Giza.  The  4 "air 
shafts"  of  the  pyramid  point  precisely  to  key  stars  in 
the  "Old  Empire"  as  seen  from  Giza  in  this  year.  The 
alignment  of  the  Pyramids  of  Giza  on  the  ground  matches 
perfectly  the  alignment  of  the  constellation  of  Orion  as 
seen  in  the  sky  from  Giza  relative  to  the  Nile  as  the 
earthly  representation  of  the  Milky  Way  in  the  sky.  140 
(Footnote) 

10,400  BCE  — 

According  to  the  Earth  historian,  Herodotus,  records 
from  the  ruined  civilization  of  Atlantis,  containing 
electronic  technology  and  other  technology  of  that 
society,  were  buried  in  a vault  beneath  the  paws  of  The 
Sphinx.  The  Greek  historian  wrote  that  he  was  told  this 
by  some  of  his  friends  who  were  Priests  of  Anu,  the 
Sumerian  god,  at  the  Egyptian  city  of  Heliopolis . 
However,  it  is  highly  unlikely  that  any  traces  of  an 
electronic  civilization  would  be  allowed  to  be  left 
intact  on  Earth  by  the  "old  empire"  prison  system 
administrators.  141  (Footnote). 

8,212  BCE  — 

The  Veda  or  Vedic  hymns  are  a set  of  religious  hymns 
that  were  introduced  into  the  societies  of  Earth.  They 
came  forward  in  spoken  tradition,  memorized,  from 
generation  to  generation.  "The  Hymn  to  the  Dawn  Child' ' 
includes  an  idea  called  the  "cycle  of  the  physical 
universe":  the  creation,  growth,  conservation,  decay  and 
death  or  destruction  of  energy  and  matter  in  a space. 
These  cycles  produce  time.  The  same  set  of  hymns 
describes  the  "theory  of  evolution".  Here  is  a 
tremendous  body  of  knowledge  which  contains  a great  deal 
of  spiritual  truth.  Unfortunately,  it  has  been 
incorrectly  evaluated  by  humans  and  altered  with  lies 
and  reversals  of  fact  by  priests  which  are  a booby  trap 
to  prevent  anyone  from  using  the  wisdom  to  discover  a 
way  to  escape  from  the  prison  planet.

8, 050  BCE 


Destruction  of  the  "Old  Empire"  home  planet  government 
in  this  galaxy.  This  was  the  end  of  the  "Old  Empire"  as 
a political  entity  in  the  galaxy.  However,  the  vast 
size  of  the  "Old  Empire"  will  take  many  thousands  of 
years  for  The  Domain  to  conquer  completely.  The  inertia 
of  the  political,  economic  and  cultural  systems  of  the 
"Old  Empire"  will  remain  in  place  for  some  time  to  come. 

However,  remnants  of  the  "Old  Empire"  space  fleet  in  the 
solar  system  of  Earth  were  finally  destroyed  in  1,230 
AD.  In  addition  to  operatives  of  the  "Old  Empire"  who 
run  the  Earth  prison  operation,  there  were  other  beings 
from  the  "Old  Empire"  who  came  to  Earth.  Since  Earth 
was  no  longer  under  the  control  of  the  "Old  Empire" 
after  their  defeat  by  The  Domain  Forces,  there  was  no 
police  force  to  control  military  renegades,  space 
pirates,  miners,  merchants  and  entrepreneurs  who  came  to 
Earth  to  exploit  the  resources  of  the  planet  for 
personal  gain,  and  many  other  nefarious  reasons. 

For  example,  the  history  of  Earth,  according  to  the 
Jewish  people,  describes  the  "Nephilim"  . 142  (Footnote) 

6 of  The  Book  of  Genesis,  describes  the  origin  of  the 
"Nephilim"  : 

"Now  it  came  about,  when  men  began  to  multiply  on 
the  face  of  the  land,  and  daughters  were  born  to 
them,  that  the  "sons  of  God"  saw  that  the  daughters 
of  men  were  beautiful;  and  they  took  wives  for 
themselves,  whomever  they  chose. 

The  Nephilim  were  on  the  earth  in  those  days,  and 
also  afterward,  when  the  sons  of  God  came  in  to  the 
daughters  of  men,  and  they  bore  children  to  them. 
Those  were  the  mighty  men  who  were  of  old,  men  of 
renown . " 

The  ancient  Jewish  people  who  wrote  the  history  book 
called  the  Old  Testament  were  slaves,  herders  and 
gatherers.  Any  modern  technology,  even  a simple 
flashlight,  would  seem  astounding  and  miraculous  to 
them.  They  attributed  any  unexplainable  phenomenon  or 
technology  to  the  workings  of  a "god".  Unfortunately, 
this  behavior  is  universal  among  all  IS-BEs  who  have 
been  given  amnesia,  and  cannot  remember  their  own 


89 


experiences,  training,  technology,  personality  or 
identity . 

Obviously,  if  these  were  men,  and  they  mated  with  Earth 
women,  they  were  not  "sons  of  god".  They  were  IS-BEs 
who  inhabited  biological  bodies  in  order  to  take 
advantage  of  the  political  situation  in  the  "Old 
Empire",  or  simply  to  indulge  in  physical  sensation. 

They  set  up  small  colonies  of  their  own  on  Earth  beyond 
the  reach  of  the  police  and  tax  authorities . 

Coincidentally,  one  of  the  most  serious  crimes  an  IS-BE 
could  commit  in  the  "Old  Empire"  was  to  violate  income 
tax  regulations.  Income  taxes  were  used  as  a slavery 
mechanism  and  as  a punishment  in  the  "Old  Empire".  The 
slightest  error  in  a tax  report  made  an  IS-BE 
"untouchable",  followed  by  imprisonment  on  Earth. 

6, 750  BCE  — 

Other  Pyramid  civilizations  were  set  up  by  the  "Old 
Empire"  on  Earth.  These  were  established  in  Babylon, 
Egypt,  China  and  Mesoamerica.  The  Mesopotamian  area 
provided  service  facilities,  communication  stations, 
space  ports,  and  stone  quarry  operations  for  these  false 
civilizations . 

Ptah  was  the  name  given  to  the  first  in  a succession  of 
administrators  from  the  "Old  Empire"  who  represented 
themselves  to  the  Earth  population  as  "divine"  rulers. 

Ptah's  importance  may  be  understood  when  one  learns  that 
the  word  "Egypt"  is  a Greek  corruption  of  the  phrase 
"Het-Ka-Ptah, " or  "House  of  the  Spirit  of  Ptah".  Ptah, 
was  nick-named  "The  Developer".  He  was  a construction 
engineer.  His  high  priest  was  given  the  title  'Great 
Leader  of  Craftsmen'. 

Ptah  was  also  the  god  of  reincarnation  in  Egypt.  He 
originated  the  "opening  of  the  mouth  ceremony"  which  was 
performed  by  priests  at  funerals  to  "release  souls"  from 
their  corpses.  Of  course,  when  the  "souls"  were 
released,  they  were  captured,  given  amnesia,  and 
returned  to  Earth  again. 

The  so-called  "Devine"  rulers  who  followed  Ptah  on  Earth 
were  called  "Ntr",  meaning  "Guardians  or  Watchers"  by 


90 


the  Egyptians.  Their  symbol  was  the  Serpent,  or  Dragon 
which  represented  a secret  priesthood  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  called  the  "Brothers  of  the  Serpent". 

"Old  Empire"  engineers  used  cutting  tools  of  highly 
concentrated  light  waves  to  quickly  carve  and  excavate 
stone  blocks.  143  (Footnote)  They  also  used  force  fields  and 
space  craft  to  lift  and  transport  blocks  of  stone 
weighing  hundred  or  thousands  of  tons  each.  The 
placement  on  the  ground  of  some  of  these  structures  will 
be  found  to  have  geodetic  or  astronomical  significance 
relative  to  various  stars  in  this  galactic  region. 

The  buildings  are  crude  and  impractical,  compared  to 
building  standards  on  most  planets . As  an  engineer  of 
The  Domain,  I can  attest  that  make-shift  structures  like 
these  would  never  pass  inspection  on  a planet  in  The 
Domain.  Stone  blocks  such  as  those  used  in  the  pyramid 
civilizations  can  still  be  seen,  partially  excavated,  in 
the  stone  quarries  in  the  Middle  East  144  (Footnote)  and 
elsewhere . 

Most  of  the  structures  were  hastily  built  "props",  much 
like  the  false  facades  of  a western  town  on  the  set  of  a 
motion  picture.  They  appear  to  be  real,  and  to  have 
some  use  or  value  however,  they  have  no  value.  They  have 
no  useful  purpose.  The  pyramids  and  all  of  the  other 
stone  monuments  erected  by  the  "Old  Empire"  could  be 
called  "mystery  monuments".  For  what  reason  would 
anyone  waste  so  many  resources  to  construct  so  many 
useless  buildings?  To  create  a mysterious  illusion. 

The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  each  one  of  the  "divine 
rulers"  were  IS-BEs  who  served  as  operatives  of  the  "Old 
Empire".  They  were  certainly  not  "divine",  although 
they  were  IS-BEs. 

6248  BCE  -- 

The  beginning  of  active  warfare  between  The  Domain  Space 
Command  and  the  surviving  remnants  of  the  "Old  Empire" 
space  fleet  in  this  solar  system  that  lasted  nearly 
7,500  years.  It  began  when  an  installation  was 
established  in  the  Himalaya  mountains  by  a battalion  of 
the  3,000  officers  and  crew  members  of  The  Domain 
Expeditionary  Force.  The  installation  was  not  fortified 


91 


as  The  Domain  was  not  aware  that  the  "Old  Empire" 
maintained  Earth  as  a prison  planet. 

The  Domain  installation  was  attacked  and  destroyed  by 
space  forces  of  the  "Old  Empire"  who  continued  to 
operate  in  the  solar  system  of  Earth.  IS-BEs  of  The 
Domain  battalion  were  captured,  taken  to  Mars,  given 
amnesia,  and  sent  back  to  Earth  to  inhabit  human 
biological  bodies.  They  are  still  on  Earth. 

5, 965  BCE  — 

Investigations  into  the  disappearance  of  Domain  forces 
in  this  solar  system  led  to  the  discovery  of  "Old 
Empire"  bases  on  Mars  and  elsewhere.  The  Domain  took 
over  the  planet  Venus  145  (Footnote)  as  a defensive  position 
against  the  space  forces  of  the  "Old  Empire".  The 
Domain  Expeditionary  Force  also  monitors  life  forms  on 
Venus  which  has  a very  dense,  hot  and  heavy  atmosphere 
of  sulfuric  acid  clouds.  There  are  a few  life  forms  on 
Earth  that  can  endure  an  atmospheric  environment  like 
Venus . 146  (Footnote) 

The  Domain  also  established  secret  installations  or 
space  stations  in  the  Earth  solar  system.  This  solar 
system  has  a planet  that  is  broken  up  --  the  asteroid 
belt.  147  (Footnote)  It  provides  a very  useful  low-gravity 
platform  for  take  off  and  landing  of  space  craft.  It  is 
used  as  a "galactic  jump"  between  the  Milky  Way  and 
adjoining  galaxies.  There  aren't  any  planets  at  this  end 
of  the  galaxy  that  can  serve  as  a good  galactic  entering 
spot  for  incoming  transport,  and  other  ships.  But  this 
broken  up  planet  makes  a very  ideal  space  station.  As  a 
result  of  our  war  against  the  "Old  Empire",  this  area  of 
the  solar  system  is  now  a valuable  possession  of  The 
Domain . 

3, 450  - 3, 100  BCE  -- 

The  intervention  into  the  affairs  on  Earth  by  the  "Old 
Empire"  operatives  or  "divine  gods"  was  disrupted  at 
this  time  by  The  Domain  Forces.  They  were  forced  to 
replace  themselves  with  human  rulers.  The  First  Dynasty 
of  human  Pharaohs  who  united  Upper  and  Lower  Egypt  began 
with  the  rule  of  a Pharaoh  who,  coincidentally,  was 
named  "MEN".  He  established  the  capital  city  called 
Men-Nefer,  "The  Beauty  of  Men"  in  Egypt.  This  started 


92 


the  first  succession  of  10  human  Pharaohs  and  a period 
of  350  years  of  chaos  that  followed  in  the 
administrative  ranks  of  the  "Old  Empire" . 

3,200  BCE  — 

As  I mentioned  earlier.  Earth  was  under  attack  between 
The  Domain  and  the  "Old  Empire"  forces  during  this 
period.  Of  course  this  does  not  make  any  sense  to 
archaeologists  or  historians  on  Earth,  because  the 
Egyptian  period  is  a space  opera  era  period.  Since 
Earth  historians  have  amnesia,  they  assume  that  this  was 
only  a religious  period. 

Further,  because  the  technology  and  civilizations 
installed  on  Earth  during  this  period  were  "pre- 
packaged", they  did  not  "evolve"  on  Earth.  Of  course, 
there  is  no  evidence  anywhere  on  Earth  of  an 
evolutionary  transition  which  resulted  in  sophisticated 
mathematics,  language,  writing,  religion,  architecture, 
cultural  traditions  in  Egypt  or  any  of  the  pyramid 
civilizations.  These  cultures,  complete  with  all  of  the 
details  of  racial  body  types,  hair-styles,  facial  make- 
up, rituals,  moral  codes  and  so  forth,  just  "appeared" 
as  complete  integrated  packages . 

The  physical  evidence  suggests  that  all  evidence  of  the 
intervention  of  The  Domain  or  "Old  Empire"  Forces,  or 
any  other  extraterrestrial  activity,  has  been  carefully 
"cleaned  up",  so  as  not  to  create  suspicion.  The  "Old 
Empire"  force  does  not  want  the  IS-BEs  of  Earth  to 
suspect  that  they  have  been  captured,  transplanted  to 
Earth  and  brainwashed. 

So,  Earth  historians  continue  to  assume  that  Egyptian 
priests  were  not  supposed  to  have  "ray  guns"  or  other 
technology  of  the  "Old  Empire".  And,  they  suppose  that 
there  was  nothing  going  on,  on  Earth,  except  some 
priests  walking  around  saying  'Amen',  which  the 
Christians  still  say. 

3,172  BCE  — 

Layout  of  the  astronomical  grid  that  joins  the  key 
mining  sites  and  astronomical  buildings  of  'the  gods'  in 
the  Andes  Mountains  such  as  Tiahuanaco,  148  (Footnote)  Cuzco, 
Quito,  the  cities  of  Ollantaytambu,  149  (Footnote)  Machupiccu  1! 


93 


(Footnote)  and  Pachacamac  151  (Footnote)  for  the  mining  of  rare 
metals,  including  tin  for  use  in  making  bronze.  Metals 
were  the  property  of  "the  gods",  of  course. 

A great  variety  of  entrepreneurial  mining  was  done  on 
Earth  at  that  time  due  to  the  war  between  the  "Old 
Empire"  force  and  The  Domain.  These  miners  did  carve  a 
few  sculptures  of  themselves.  They  are  seen  wearing 
mining  helmets.  The  Ponce  stela  sculpture  in  the  sunken 
courtyard  of  the  Kalasasaya  temple  is  a crude  rendering 
of  a stone  worker  using  an  electronic,  light-wave 
emitting  stone  cutter  and  carving  tools,  held  in  a 
holster.  152  (Footnote) 

The  "Old  Empire"  has  also  maintained  mining  operations 
on  planets  throughout  the  galaxy  for  a very  long  time. 
The  mineral  resources  of  Earth  are  now  a property  of  The 
Domain . 

2, 450  BCE  — 

The  "great"  pyramid  153  (Footnote)  and  complex  of  pyramids 
near  Cairo  were  completed.  An  inscription  created  by 
the  "Old  Empire"  administrators  can  be  seen  in  the  so- 
called  Pyramid  texts.  154  (Footnote)  The  texts  say  that  the 
pyramid  was  built  under  the  direction  of  Thoth,  Son  of 
Ptah.  Of  course  there  was  never  a King  buried  in  the 
chamber,  since  the  pyramids  were  never  intended  to  be 
used  as  a burial  chamber. 

The  great  pyramid  was  located  precisely  at  the  exact 
center  of  all  of  the  land  masses  of  Earth,  155  (Footnote)  as 
viewed  from  space.  Obviously  such  precise  measurements 
require  aerial  perspective  and  a view  of  the  land  masses 
of  Earth  from  space.  Purely  mathematical  calculations 
of  the  geodetic  center  of  the  continents  of  Earth  could 
not  be  made  otherwise. 

Shafts  were  constructed  inside  the  pyramid  to  align  with 
the  configuration  of  stars  in  the  constellation  of 
Orion,  Canus  Majora,  and  specifically  Sirius.  The 
shafts  are  also  aligned  to  the  Big  Dipper,  where  the 
home  planet  of  the  "Old  Empire"  existed.  Also,  Ainitak, 
Alpha  Draconis  and  Beta  Ursa  Minor.  156  (Footnote)  These  stars 
are  each  one  of  the  key  systems  in  the  "Old  Empire"  from 
which  IS-BEs  were  brought  to  Earth  and  dumped,  as 
unwanted  merchandise. 


94 


The  configuration  of  all  the  pyramids  of  the  Giza 
Plateau  was  intended  to  create  a "mirror  image",  on 
Earth  of  the  solar  system  and  certain  constellations 
within  the  "Old  Empire". 

2,181  BCE  — 

MIN,  became  the  God  of  Fertility  of  Egypt.  The  IS-BE, 
also  known  as  Pan,  was  also  a Greek  god.  Min  or  Pan, 
was  an  IS-BE  who  somehow  managed  to  escape  from  the  "Old 
Empire"  amnesia  system.  157  (Footnote) 

2,160  - 2040  BCE  — 

One  of  the  results  of  the  intensifying  battle  between 
The  Domain  Forces  and  the  "Old  Empire"  forces  was  that 
the  control  of  the  "divine  rulers",  was  broken  at  this 
time.  They  finally  left  Egypt  and  returned  to  the 
"heavens",  so  to  speak,  in  defeat.  Human  beings  took 
over  the  ruling  role  as  Pharaohs.  The  first  human 
pharaoh  moved  the  Capital  city  of  Egypt  from  Memphis  to 
Heracleopolis . 158  (Footnote) 

1,500  BCE  — 

This  is  the  date  for  the  destruction  of  Atlantis  given 
by  the  Egyptian  high-priests,  Psenophis  of  Heliopolis, 
and  Sonchis  of  Sais,  to  the  Greek  sage  Solon.  159  (Footnote) 
The  Priests  of  Anu  recorded  that  the  Mediterranean  area 
was  invaded  by  "Atlantean"  people  about  this  time.  Of 
course,  these  people  were  not  from  the  ancient  continent 
of  Atlanta,  in  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  which  existed  more 
than  70,000  years  earlier. 

These  were  refugees  from  the  Minoan  civilization  on 
Crete  escaping  from  the  volcanic  eruption  and  tidal 
waves  of  Mt.  Thera  that  destroyed  their  civilization. 

Plato's  references  to  Atlantis  were  borrowed  from  the 
writings  of  the  Greek  philosopher  Solon,  who  was  given 
the  information  by  the  Egyptian  priest  who  called 
Atlantis  "Kepchu",  which  also  happens  to  be  the  Egyptian 
name  for  the  people  of  Crete.  Some  of  the  survivors  of 
the  Minoan  volcanic  disaster  asked  Egypt  for  help,  since 
they  were  the  only  other  civilization  with  high  culture 
in  the  Mediterranean  area  at  the  time.  160  (Footnote) 


95 


1351  BCE  - 1337  BCE 


The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  actively  waged  a war  of 
religious  conquest  against  the  Egyptian  mystery  cult 
called  the  Priest  of  Amun,  also  known  as  the  "Old 
Empire"  Brothers  of  The  Serpent.  During  this  time  the 
Pharaoh  Akhenaten  abolished  the  priesthood  of  Amun,  and 
moved  the  capital  of  Egypt  from  Thebes  to  the  new 
location  at  Amarna,  at  the  exact  geodetic  center  of 
Egypt  161  (Footnote) . However,  this  plot  to  overthrow  the  "Old 
Empire"  religious  control  was  quickly  spoiled. 

1, 193  BCE  — 

In  the  Near  East  and  Achaea,  the  Greeks  and  Trojans 
fought  for  supremacy,  which  ended  in  the  destruction  of 
Troy  as  the  finale  of  the  Trojan  War.  162  (Footnote)  During 
this  same  time,  war  was  being  fought  out  in  the  space  of 
the  solar  system  between  two  forces  for  control  of  the 
"space  stations"  surrounding  Earth.  That  period  of  300 
years  was  a very  violent  resistance  to  The  Domain  Forces 
by  the  remnants  of  the  "Old  Empire"  forces.  It  did  not 
last  long  however,  as  it  is  futile  to  resist  The  Domain. 

850  BCE  -- 

Homer,  the  blind  Greek  poet,  163  (Footnote)  wrote  the  stories 
'the  gods'  as  borrowed  and  modified  from  earlier  sources 
in  Vedic  texts,  Sumerian  texts,  Babylonian  and  Egyptian 
mythology.  His  poems,  as  well  as  many  other  "myths"  of 
the  ancient  world  are  very  accurate  descriptions  of  the 
exploits  of  IS-BE's  on  Earth  who  were  able  to  avoid  the 
"Old  Empire  amnesia  operation  and  operate  without 
biological  bodies. 

700  BCE  — 

The  Vedic  Hymns  were  first  translated  in  the  Greek 
language.  This  was  the  beginning  of  a cultural 
revolution  in  Western  civilization  that  transformed 
crude  and  brutal  tribal  cultures  into  democratic 
republics  based  on  more  reasonable  conduct. 

638  - 559  BCE  -- 

Solon,  a wise  man  from  Greece,  reported  the  existence  of 
Atlantis.  This  was  information  he  received  from  the 


96 


"Old  Empire"  high-priests,  Psenophis  of  Heliopolis  and 
Sonchis  of  Sais,  with  whom  he  studied  in  Egypt.  164  (Footnote) 

630  BCE  — 

Zoroaster  165  (Footnote)  created  religious  practices  in  Persia 
around  an  IS-BE  called  Ahura  Mazda.  166  (Footnote)  This  was  yet 
another  of  the  growing  number  of  "monotheistic"  gods  put 
in  place  by  operatives  of  The  Domain  to  displace  a 
panoply  of  "Old  Empire"  gods. 

604  BCE  — 

Laozi,  a philosopher  who  wrote  a small  book  called  "The 
Way",  167  (Footnote)  was  an  IS-BE  of  great  wisdom,  who 
overcame  the  effects  of  the  "Old  Empire"  amnesia  / 
hypnosis  machinery  and  escaped  from  Earth.  His 
understanding  of  the  nature  of  an  IS-BE  must  have  been 
very  good  to  accomplish  this . 

According  to  the  common  legend,  his  last  lifetime  as  a 
human  was  lived  in  a small  village  in  China.  He 
contemplated  the  essence  of  his  own  life.  Like  Guatama 
Siddhartha,  he  confronted  his  own  thoughts,  and  past 
lives.  In  so  doing,  he  recovered  some  of  his  own 
memory,  ability  and  immortality. 

As  an  old  man,  he  decided  to  leave  the  village  and  go  to 
the  forest  to  depart  the  body.  The  village  gatekeeper 
stopped  him  and  begged  him  to  write  down  his  personal 
philosophy  before  leaving.  Here  is  a small  piece  of 
advice  he  gave  about  "the  way"  he  rediscovered  his  own 
spirit : 

"He  who  looks  will  not  see  it; 

He  who  listens  will  not  hear  it; 

He  who  gropes  will  not  grasp  it. 

The  formless  nonentity,  the  motionless  source  of  motion. 
The  infinite  essence  of  the  spirit  is  the  source  of 
life . 

Spirit  is  self. 

Walls  form  and  support  a room, 

yet  the  space  between  them  is  most  important. 

A pot  is  formed  of  clay, 

yet  the  space  formed  therein  is  most  useful. 

Action  is  caused  by  the  force  of  nothing  on  something. 


97 


just  as  the  nothing  of  spirit  is  the  source  of  all  form. 

One  suffers  great  afflictions  because  one  has  a body. 
Without  a body  what  afflictions  could  one  suffer? 

When  one  cares  more  for  the  body  than  for  his  own 
spirit. 

One  becomes  the  body  and  looses  the  way  of  the  spirit. 
The  self,  the  spirit,  creates  illusion. 

The  delusion  of  Man  is  that  reality  is  not  an  illusion. 
One  who  creates  illusions  and  makes  them  more  real  than 
reality,  follows  the  path  of  the  spirit  and  finds  the 
way  of  heaven". 

593  BCE  -- 

The  Genesis  story  written  by  the  Jewish  people  describe 
"angels"  or  "sons  of  god"  mating  with  women  of  Earth, 
who  bore  them  children.  These  were  probably  renegades 
from  the  "Old  Empire" . They  may  also  have  been  space 
pirates  or  merchants  from  a system  outside  the  galaxy 
who  came  to  steal  mineral  resources,  or  smuggle  drugs. 

The  Domain  has  observed  that  there  are  many  visitors  to 
Earth  from  neighboring  planets  and  galaxies,  but  they 
rarely  stop  and  live  here.  What  kind  of  beings  would 
live  on  a prison  planet  if  they  were  not  forced  to  do 
so? 

The  same  book  also  reports  the  story  of  a human  named 
Ezekiel  who  witnessed  a spacecraft  or  aircraft  landing 
near  Chebar  River  in  Chaldea.  His  description  of  the 
craft  uses  very  archaic  language,  technically,  but  is 
nevertheless,  quite  an  accurate  description  of  an  "Old 
Empire"  saucer  or  scout  craft.  It  is  similar  to  the 
sighting  of  "vimanas"  by  the  people  in  the  foothills  of 
the  Himalayas . 

Their  Genesis  story  also  mentions  that  "Yahweh"  designed 
biological  bodies  to  live  for  120  years  on  Earth. 
Biological  bodies  on  most  "Sun  Type  12,  Class  7"  planets 
are  usually  engineered  to  last  for  an  average  of  about 
150  years.  Human  bodies  on  Earth  last  only  about  one 
half  as  long.  We  suspect  this  is  because  the  prison 
administrators  have  altered  the  biological  material  of 
human  bodies  on  Earth  to  die  more  frequently  so  that  the 


98 


IS-BEs  who  inhabit  them  will  recycle  through  the  amnesia 
mechanism  more  frequently.  168  (Footnote) 

It  should  be  noted  that  much  of  the  "Old  Testament"  was 
written  during  the  captivity  of  the  Jews  who  were 
enslaved  in  Babylon,  which  was  very  heavily  controlled 
by  priests  of  the  "Old  Empire" . The  book  introduces  a 
false  sense  of  time  and  a false  concept  of  the  origin  of 
the  creation. 

The  serpent  is  the  symbol  of  the  "Old  Empire" . It 
appears  in  the  beginning  of  their  creation  story,  or  as 
the  Greeks  say,  "Genesis",  and  causes  the  spiritual 
destruction  of  the  first  human  beings,  who  are 
metaphorically  represented  by  Adam  and  Eve. 

The  Old  Testament,  clearly  influenced  by  the  "Old 
Empire"  Forces,  gives  a detailed  description  of  the  IS- 
BEs  being  induced  into  biological  bodies  on  Earth.  This 
book  also  describes  many  of  the  "Old  Empire" 
brainwashing  activities,  including  the  installation  of 
false  memories,  lies,  superstitions,  commands  to 
"forget"  and  all  manner  of  tricks  and  traps  designed  to 
keep  IS-BEs  on  Earth.  Most  importantly,  it  destroys  the 
awareness  that  humans  are  Immortal  Spiritual  Beings. 

580  BCE  — 

The  Oracle  at  Delphi  was  one  temple  in  a network  of  many 
oracle  temples.  Each  temple  was  a communication  center. 
The  "Old  Empire"  priests  designated  a local  "god"  for 
each  temple.  Each  of  the  temples  in  this  network  were 
located  at  precisely  5 degrees  of  latitude  intervals 
from  the  capital  city  of  Thebes  throughout  the 
Mediterranean  area  as  far  north  as  the  Baltic  Sea. 

The  shrines  served,  among  other  things,  as  a grid, 
housing  electronic  beacons,  later  called  "Omphalus 
Stones".  169  (Footnote)  The  grid  arrangement  of  Oracle  sites 
can  only  be  seen  from  miles  above  the  Earth.  The 
original  network  of  electronic  communications  beacons 
were  disabled  when  the  priesthood  was  dispersed,  and 
were  replaced  by  carved  stones. 

The  symbol  of  the  "Old  Empire"  priesthood  is  a Python, 
dragon  or  serpent.  It  was  called  the  "earth-dragon"  at 


99 


Delphi,  which  is  always  represented  in  sculpture  and 
vase-paintings  as  a serpent. 

In  Greek  mythology  the  guardian  of  the  Omphalus  Stone  at 
the  temple  at  Delphi  was  an  oracle  whose  name  was 
Python,  the  serpent.  170  (Footnote)  She  was  an  IS-BE,  who  was 
conquered  by  a "god"  named  Apollo.  He  buried  her  under 
the  Omphalos  stone.  This  is  a case  of  one  "god"  setting 
up  his  temple  on  the  grave  of  another.  This  is  a very 
accurate  euphemism  for  The  Domain  Force  that  detected 
and  disabled  the  "Old  Empire"  temple  network  on  Earth. 

It  was  one  of  the  fatal  blows  to  the  "Old  Empire"  Force 
in  the  solar  system  of  Earth. 

559  BCE  — 

The  Commanding  Officer  of  The  Domain  Battalion  who  was 
lost  in  5, 965  BCE  was  detected  and  located  by  a search 
party  sent  to  Earth  from  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force. 
He  was  incarnated  as  Cyrus  II  of  Persia  during  this 
time . 171  (Footnote) 

A unique  system  of  organization  was  used  by  Cyrus  II  172 
(Footnote)  and  the  members  of  that  Battalion  who  followed 
him  from  India  through  his  progression  of  human  lives  on 
Earth.  In  part,  it  enabled  them  to  build  the  largest 
empire  in  the  history  of  the  Earth  to  that  date. 

The  Domain  Search  Party  who  located  him  traveled  around 
the  Earth  searching  for  the  lost  Battalion  for  several 
thousand  years.  The  party  consisted  of  900  officers  of 
The  Domain,  divided  into  teams  of  300  each.  One  team 
searched  the  land,  another  team  search  the  oceans  and 
the  third  team  searched  the  space  surrounding  Earth. 
There  are  many  reports  made  in  various  human 
civilizations  concerning  their  activities,  which  humans 
did  not  understand,  of  course. 

The  Domain  Search  Party  devised  a wide  variety  of 
electronic  detection  devices  needed  to  track  the 
electronic  signature  or  wavelength  of  each  of  the 
missing  members  of  the  Battalion.  Some  were  used  in 
space,  others  on  land,  and  special  devices  were  invented 
to  detect  IS-BEs  under  water. 

One  of  these  electronic  detection  devices  is  referred  to 
as  a "tree  of  life".  173  (Footnote)  The  device  is  literally  a 


100 


tool  designed  to  detect  the  presence  of  life,  which  is 
an  IS-BE.  This  was  a large  electronic  screen  generator 
designed  to  permeate  wide  areas.  To  the  ancient  humans 
on  Earth  it  resembled  a sort  of  tree,  since  is  consists 
of  an  interwoven  lattice  of  electronic  field  generators 
and  receivers.  The  electronic  field  detects  the 
presence  of  IS-BEs,  whether  the  IS-BE  is  occupying  a 
body,  or  if  they  are  outside  a body. 

A portable  version  of  this  detection  device  was  carried 
by  each  of  the  members  of  The  Domain  Search  Party. 

Stone  carvings  in  Sumeria  show  winged  beings  using 
pinecone-shaped  instruments  to  scan  the  bodies  of  human 
beings.  They  are  also  shown  carrying  the  power  unit  for 
the  scanner  which  are  depicted  as  stylized  baskets  or 
water  buckets,  being  carried  by  eagle-headed,  winged 
beings . 174  (Footnote) 

Members  of  the  aerial  unit  of  The  Domain  Search  Party, 
led  by  Ahura  Mazda,  were  often  called  "winged  gods"  in 
human  interpretations.  Throughout  the  Persian 
civilization  there  are  a great  many  stone  relief  carving 
that  depict  winged  space  craft,  that  they  called  a 
"faravahar".  175  (Footnote) 

Members  of  the  Aquatic  Unit  of  The  Domain  Search  Party 
were  called  "Oannes"  by  local  humans.  176  (Footnote)  Stone 
carvings  of  the  so-called  Oannes  are  shown  wearing 
silver  diving  suits.  They  lived  in  the  sea  and  appeared 
to  the  human  population  to  be  men  dressed  to  look  like 
fish.  Some  members  of  the  lost  Battalion  were  found  in 
the  oceans  inhabiting  the  bodies  of  dolphins  or  whales.  177 
(Footnote) 

On  land.  The  Domain  Search  Party  members  were  referred 
to  as  "Annunaki"  178  (Footnote)  by  the  Sumerians,  and 
"Nephilim",  in  the  Bible.  Of  course,  their  true  mission 
and  activities  were  never  disclosed  to  homo  sapiens. 

Their  activities  have  been  purposefully  disguised. 
Therefore,  the  human  stories  and  legends  about  the 
Annunaki,  and  the  other  members  of  The  Domain  Search 
Party  have  not  been  understood  and  were  badly 
misinterpreted. 

In  the  absence  of  complete  and  accurate  data,  anyone 
observing  a phenomenon  will  assume  or  hypothesize 
explanations  in  an  attempt  to  make  sense  of  the  data. 


101 


Therefore,  although  mythology  and  history  may  be  based 
on  factual  events,  they  are  likewise  full  of 
misunderstood  and  misinterpreted  evaluations  of  the 
data,  and  embellished  with  assumptions,  theories  and 
hypotheses  which  are  false. 

The  space  unit  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  are 
shown  flying  in  a "Winged-Disc"  . 179  (Footnote)  This  is  an 
allusion  to  the  spiritual  power  of  the  IS-BEs,  as  well 
as  to  the  space  craft  used  by  The  Domain  Search  Party. 

The  Commander  of  the  lost  Battalion,  as  Cyrus  II,  was  an 
IS-BE  who  was  regarded  as  a messiah  on  Earth  by  both  the 
Jews,  and  the  Muslims.  In  less  than  50  years  he 
established  a highly  ethical,  and  humanitarian 
philosophy  which  pervaded  all  of  Western  Civilization. 

180  (Footnote) 

His  territorial  conquests,  organization  of  people  and 
monumental  building  projects  were  unprecedented  before 
or  since.  Such  sweeping  accomplishments  in  a short 
period  of  time  could  only  have  been  achieved  by  a leader 
and  a team  of  trained  officers,  pilots,  engineers  and 
crew  members  of  a unit  of  The  Domain,  acting  as  a team, 
who  had  been  trained  and  worked  together  for  thousands 
of  years. 

Although  we  have  discovered  the  location  of  many  of  the 
IS-BEs  in  the  lost  Battalion,  The  Domain  has  been  unable 
to  restore  their  memory  and  return  them  to  active  duty 
as  yet. 

Of  course  we  cannot  transport  IS-BEs  who  are  inhabiting 
biological  bodies  to  the  space  stations  of  The  Domain 
since  there  is  no  oxygen  in  our  space  craft.  Also  we  do 
not  maintain  life  support  facilities  for  biological 
entities  there.  Our  only  hope  has  been  to  locate  and 
rekindle  the  awareness,  memory  and  identity  of  the  IS- 
BEs  of  the  Lost  Battalion.  One  day  they  will  be  capable 
of  rejoining  us. 

200  BCE  — 

The  last  remnant  of  the  "Old  Empire"  pyramid 
civilization  is  at  "Teotihuacan"  181  (Footnote).  The  Aztec 
name  means  "place  of  the  gods"  or  "where  men  were 
transformed  into  gods".  Like  the  astronomical 


102 


configuration  of  the  Giza  pyramids  in  Egypt,  the  entire 
complex  is  a precise  scale-model  of  the  solar  system 
that  accurately  reflects  the  orbital  distances  of  the 
inner  planets,  the  asteroid  belt,  Jupiter,  Saturn, 

Uranus,  Neptune,  and  Pluto.  Since  the  planet  Uranus  had 
only  been  "discovered"  with  modern  Earth  telescopes  in 
1787,  and  Pluto  not  until  1930,  it  is  apparent  that  the 
builders  had  information  from  "other  sources" . 

A common  element  of  the  Pyramid  Civilizations  around  the 
Earth  is  the  constant  use  of  the  image  of  the  snake, 
dragon,  or  serpent.  This  is  because  the  beings  who 
planted  these  civilizations  here  want  to  create  an 
illusion  that  the  "gods"  are  reptilian.  This  is  also  a 
part  of  an  illusion  designed  to  perpetuate  amnesia.  The 
beings  who  placed  false  civilizations  on  Earth  are  IS- 
BEs,  just  like  you.  Many  of  the  biological  bodies 
inhabited  by  IS-BEs  in  the  "Old  Empire"  are  very  similar 
in  appearance  to  the  bodies  on  Earth.  The  "gods"  are 
not  reptiles,  although  they  often  behave  like  snakes. 

1,034  - 1, 124  AD  -- 

The  entire  Arab  world  was  enslaved  by  one  man:  Hasan 
ibn-al-Sabbah  182  (Footnote) , the  Old  Man  of  the  Mountain.  He 
established  the  Hashshashin  who  operated  a part  of 
Mohammedanism  which  controlled  by  terror  and  fear  much 
of  India,  Asia  Minor  and  most  of  the  Mediterranean 
Basin.  They  became  a priesthood  that  used  an  extremely 
effective  mind-control  mechanism  and  extortion  tool  that 
enabled  the  "Assassins"  to  control  the  civilized  world 
for  several  hundred  years. 

Their  method  was  simple.  Young  men  were  kidnapped  and 
knocked  unconscious  with  hashish.  They  were  taken  to  a 
garden  filled  with  beautiful  black-eyed  houris  in  a 
harem  decorated  with  rivers  of  milk  and  honey.  The 
young  men  were  told  that  they  were  in  paradise.  They 
were  promised  they  could  return  and  live  there  forever 
if  they  sacrificed  themselves  as  an  assassin  of  whomever 
they  were  commanded  to  kill.  The  men  were  knocked  out 
again,  and  shoved  out  into  the  world  to  carry  out  the 
assassination  mission. 

Meanwhile,  the  Old  Man  of  the  Mountain  sent  a messenger 
to  the  caliph  or,  whatever  wealthy  ruler  from  whom  they 
demanded  payment,  demanding  camel-loads  of  gold,  spices, 


103 


incense  or  other  valuables.  If  payment  did  not  arrive 
on  time,  the  assassin  would  be  sent  to  kill  the 
offending  party.  There  was  virtually  no  defense  against 
the  unknown  assailant  who  wanted  nothing  more  than  to 
carry  out  his  mission,  be  killed  and  return  to  "heaven". 

This  is  a very  crude  example  of  how  simple  and  effective 
a brainwashing  and  mind-control  operation  can  be  when  it 
is  used  skillfully,  and  forcefully.  It  is  a small  scale 
demonstration  of  how  the  amnesia  mind-control  operation 
is  used  against  the  entire  IS-BE  population  of  Earth  by 
the  "Old  Empire". 

1119  AD  — 

The  Knights  Templar  183  (Footnote)  was  established  as  a 
Christian  military  unit  after  the  First  Crusade  but 
quickly  transformed  into  the  basis  for  the  international 
banking  system  to  accumulate  money  to  conduct  the  agenda 
of  operatives  for  vestiges  of  the  "Old  Empire"  on  Earth. 

1135  - 1230  AD  -- 

The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  completed  the 
annihilation  of  the  remaining  remnants  of  the  "Old 
Empire"  space  fleet  operating  in  the  solar  system  around 
Earth.  Unfortunately,  their  long  established  thought 
control  operation  remains  largely  intact. 

1307  AD  -- 

The  Knights  Templar  was  disbanded  by  King  Philip  IV  of 
France,  who  was  deeply  in  debt  to  the  Order.  184  (Footnote)  He 
pressured  Pope  Clement  V to  condemn  the  Order's  members, 
have  them  arrested,  tortured  them  into  giving  false 
confessions,  and  burned  them  at  the  stake  in  an  effort 
to  erase  his  debt  by  seizing  all  of  their  wealth. 

A majority  of  the  Templars  fled  to  Switzerland  where 
they  established  an  international  banking  system  185 
(Footnote)  which  secretly  controls  the  economy  of  Earth. 

"Old  Empire"  operatives  act  as  an  unseen  influence  on 
international  bankers.  186  (Footnote)  The  banks  are  operated 
covertly  as  a on-combatant  provocateur  to  covertly 
promote  and  finance  weapons  and  warfare  between  the 
nations  of  Earth.  Warfare  is  an  internal  mechanism  of 


104 


control  over  the  inmate  population.  187  (Footnote) 


The  purpose  of  the  senseless  genocide  and  carnage  of 
wars  financed  by  these  international  banks  is  to  prevent 
the  IS-BEs  of  Earth  from  sharing  open  communication, 
cooperate  together  in  activities  that  might  enable  IS- 
BEs  to  prosper,  become  enlightened,  and  escape  their 
imprisonment . "

Chapter  Ten 
A Lesson  In  Biology 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"My  debrief  was  also  tape  recorded  as  a back  up  and  to  add  clarification  to  the 
stenographic  notes.  I debriefed  immediately  after  my  interview  so  that  everything 
that  was  said  was  still  fresh  in  my  mind. 

When  I recounted  these  stories  to  the  gallery  stenographer  I was  still  reeling  a bit. 
The  perspective  on  Earth  history  from  the  point  of  view  of  The  Domain  is  very 
strange,  to  say  the  least.  I wasn't  sure  if  my  uncomfortable  feeling  came  from  being 
dis-oriented,  or  if  it  came  from  being  re-oriented.  Either  way,  1 felt  unsteady  and 
confused.  Y et,  at  the  same  time,  there  was  a ring  of  truth  to  it.  I was  elated  and 
incredulous  at  the  same  time! 

The  stenographer  looked  askance  at  me  more  than  a few  times  as  she  recorded  the 
"history  lesson"  I passed  on  to  her.  I'm  sure  she  thought  I was  losing  my  mind! 
Maybe  she  was  right.  However,  if  my  mind  had  been  filled  with  hypnotic 
suggestions  and  false  memories  by  the  "Old  Empire",  as  Airl  suggested,  perhaps 
losing  my  mind  would  be  a good  idea! 

I didn't  have  much  time  to  ponder  my  own,  personal  thoughts  about  these  things  at 
the  time.  It  was  my  duty  to  get  all  of  the  information  I could  from  Airl  and  pass  it  on 
to  the  stenographer  as  soon  as  Airl  was  finished.  My  job  was  not  to  analyze  the 
information,  just  report  it  as  accurately  as  possible.  The  analysis  would  be  left  to  the 
men  in  the  gallery,  or  whomever  else  was  receiving  copies  of  the  transcripts. 

I also  delivered  a list  of  books  and  materials  requested  by  Airl  to  the  agent  in  the 
gallery  room  so  these  could  be  gathered  and  delivered  to  Airl.  Each  night  after  I left 
Airl,  she  spent  the  rest  of  the  night  reading  or  "scanning"  the  materials  which  had 
been  delivered  to  her.  The  members  of  the  gallery  each  received  a transcript  of  the 
stenographic  dictation  to  study,  each  looking  for  information  that  was  of  interest  to 
them.  In  the  morning  after  breakfast  I reported  back  to  the  interview  room  to 
continue  my  interviews  or  "lessons"  with  Airl." 


(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 


TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  28.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

"The  origins  of  this  universe  and  life  on  Earth,  as 
discussed  in  the  textbooks  I have  read,  are  very 
inaccurate.  Since  you  serve  your  government  as  a 
medical  personnel,  your  duties  require  that  you 
understand  biological  entities.  So,  I am  sure  that  you 
will  appreciate  the  value  of  the  material  I will  share 
with  you  today. 

The  text  of  books  I have  been  given  on  subjects  related 
to  the  function  of  life  forms  contain  information  that 
is  based  on  false  memories,  inaccurate  observation, 
missing  data,  unproven  theories,  and  superstition. 

For  example,  just  a few  hundred  years  ago  your 
physicians  practiced  bloodletting 188  (Footnote)  as  a means  to 
release  supposed  ill-humors  from  the  body  in  an  attempt 
to  relieve  or  heal  a wide  variety  of  physical  and  mental 
afflictions.  Although  this  has  been  corrected  somewhat, 
many  barbarisms  are  still  being  practiced  in  the  name  of 
medical  science. 

In  addition  to  the  application  of  incorrect  theories 
concerning  biological  engineering,  many  primary  errors 
that  Earth  scientists  make  are  the  result  of  an 
ignorance  of  the  nature  and  relative  importance  of  IS- 
BEs  as  the  source  of  energy  and  intelligence  which 
animate  every  life  form. 

Although  it  is  not  a priority  of  The  Domain  to  intervene 
in  the  affairs  of  Earth,  The  Domain  Communications 
Office  has  authorized  me  to  provide  you  with  some 
information  in  an  effort  to  provide  a more  accurate  and 
complete  understanding  of  these  things  and  thereby 
enable  you  to  discover  more  effective  solutions  to  the 
unique  problems  you  face  on  Earth. 

The  correct  information  about  the  origins  of  biological 
entities  has  been  erased  from  your  mind,  as  well  as  from 


107 


the  minds  of  your  mentors . In  order  to  help  you  regain 
your  own  memory,  I will  share  with  you  some  factual 
material  concerning  the  origin  of  biological  entities. 

I asked  Airl  if  she  was  referring  to  the  subject  of 
evolution.  Airl  said,  "No,  not  exactly". 

You  will  find  "evolution"  mentioned  in  the  ancient  Vedic 
Hymns.  189  (Footnote)  The  Vedic  texts  are  like  folk  tales  or 
common  wisdoms  and  superstitions  gathered  throughout  the 
systems  of  The  Domain.  These  were  compiled  into  verses, 
like  a book  of  rhymes.  For  every  statement  of  truth, 
the  verses  contain  as  many  half-truths,  reversals  of 
truth  and  fanciful  imaginings,  blended  without 
qualification  or  distinction. 

The  theory  of  evolution  assumes  that  the  motivational 
source  of  energy  that  animates  every  life  form  does  not 
exist.  It  assumes  that  an  inanimate  object  or  a 
chemical  concoction  can  suddenly  become  "alive"  or 
animate  accidentally  or  spontaneously.  Or,  perhaps  an 
electrical  discharge  into  a pool  of  chemical  ooze  will 
magically  spawn  a self-animated  entity. 

There  is  no  evidence  whatsoever  that  this  is  true, 
simply  because  it  is  not  true.  Dr.  Frankenstein  did  not 
really  resurrect  the  dead  into  a marauding  monster, 
except  in  the  imagination  of  the  IS-BE  who  wrote  a 
fictitious  story  one  dark  and  stormy  night.  190  (Footnote) 

No  Western  scientist  ever  stopped  to  consider  who,  what, 
where,  when  or  how  this  animation  happens.  Complete 
ignorance,  denial  or  unawareness  of  the  spirit  as  the 
source  of  life  force  required  to  animate  inanimate 
objects  or  cellular  tissue  is  the  sole  cause  of  failures 
in  Western  medicine. 

In  addition,  evolution  does  not  occur  accidentally.  It 
requires  a great  deal  of  technology  which  must  be 
manipulated  under  the  careful  supervision  of  IS-BEs. 

Very  simple  examples  are  seen  in  the  modification  of 
farm  animals  or  in  the  breeding  of  dogs.  However,  the 
notion  that  human  biological  organisms  evolved  naturally 
from  earlier  ape-like  forms  is  incorrect.  No  physical 
evidence  will  ever  be  uncovered  to  substantiate  the 
notion  that  modern  humanoid  bodies  evolved  on  this 
planet . 


108 


The  reason  is  simple:  the  idea  that  human  bodies  evolved 
spontaneously  from  the  primordial  ooze  of  chemical 
interactivity  in  the  dim  mists  of  time  is  nothing  more 
than  a hypnotic  lie  instilled  by  the  amnesia  operation 
to  prevent  your  recollection  of  the  true  origins  of 
Mankind.  Factually,  humanoid  bodies  have  existed  in 
various  forms  throughout  the  universe  for  trillions  of 
years . 

This  was  compounded  by  the  fact  that  The  Vedic  Hymns 
were  brought  to  Earth  8,200  years  ago  by  The  Domain 
Expeditionary  Force.  While  they  were  based  in  the 
Himalaya  Mountains,  the  verses  were  taught  to  some  of 
the  local  humans  who  memorized  them.  However,  I should 
note  that  this  was  not  an  authorized  activity  for  the 
crew  of  The  Domain  installation,  although  I am  sure  it 
seemed  like  an  innocent  diversion  for  them  at  the  time. 

The  verses  were  passed  along  verbally  from  one 
generation  to  the  next  for  thousands  of  years  in  the 
foothills  and  eventually  spread  throughout  India.  No 
one  in  The  Domain  credits  any  of  the  material  in  the 
Vedic  Hymns  as  factual  material,  any  more  than  you  would 
use  "Grimm's  Fairy  Tales"  191  (Footnote)  as  a guide  for 
rearing  children.  However,  on  a planet  where  all  of  the 
IS-BEs  have  had  their  memory  erased,  one  can  understand 
how  these  tales  and  fantasies  could  be  taken  seriously. 

Unfortunately,  the  humans  who  learned  the  Vedic  verses 
passed  them  along  to  others  saying  that  they  came  from 
"the  gods" . Eventually,  the  content  of  the  verses  were 
adopted  verbatim  as  "truth".  The  euphemistic  and 
metaphorical  content  of  the  Veda  were  accepted  and 
practiced  as  dogmatic  fact.  The  philosophy  of  the 
verses  were  ignored  and  the  verses  became  the  genesis  of 
nearly  every  religion  practice  on  the  planet,  especially 
Hinduism.  192  (Footnote) 

As  an  officer,  pilot  and  engineer  of  The  Domain,  I must 
always  assume  a very  pragmatic  point  of  view.  I could 
not  be  effective  or  accomplish  my  missions  if  I were  to 
use  philosophical  dogma  or  rhetoric  as  my  operations 
manual.  Therefore,  our  discussion  of  history  is  based 
on  actual  events  that  occurred  long  before  any  IS-BEs 
arrived  on  Earth,  and  long  before  the  "Old  Empire"  came

into  power.  I can  relate  part  of  this  history  from 
personal  experience: 

Many  billions  of  years  ago  I was  a member  of  a very 
large  biological  laboratory  in  a galaxy  far  from  this 
one.  It  was  called  the  "Arcadia  Regeneration  Company". 
193  (Footnote)  I was  a biological  engineer  working  with  a 
large  staff  of  technicians.  It  was  our  business  to 
manufacture  and  supply  new  life  forms  to  uninhabited 
planets.  There  were  millions  of  star  systems  with 
millions  of  inhabitable  planets  in  the  region  at  that 
time . 

There  were  many  other  biological  laboratory  companies  at 
that  time  also.  Each  of  them  specialized  in  producing 
different  kinds  of  life  forms,  depending  on  the  "class" 
of  the  planet  being  populated.  Over  a long  span  of  time 
these  laboratories  developed  a vast  catalogue  of  species 
throughout  the  galaxies.  The  majority  of  basic  genetic 
material  is  common  to  all  species  of  life.  194  (Footnote) 
Therefore,  most  of  their  work  was  concerned  with 
manipulating  alterations  of  the  basic  genetic  pattern  to 
produce  variations  of  life  forms  that  would  be  suitable 
inhabitants  for  various  planetary  classes. 

The  "Arcadia  Regeneration  Company"  specialized  in 
mammals  for  forested  areas  and  birds  for  tropical 
regions.  Our  marketing  staff  negotiated  contracts  with 
various  planetary  governments  and  independent  buyers 
from  all  over  the  universe.  The  technicians  created 
animals  that  were  compatible  with  the  variations  in 
climate,  atmospheric  and  terrestrial  density  and 
chemical  content.  In  addition  we  were  paid  to  integrate 
our  specimens  with  biological  organisms  engineered  by 
other  companies  already  living  on  a planet. 

In  order  to  do  this  our  staff  was  in  communication  with 
other  companies  who  created  life  forms.  There  were 
industry  trade  shows,  publications  and  a variety  of 
other  information  supplied  through  an  association  that 
coordinated  related  projects. 

As  you  can  imagine,  our  research  required  a great  deal 
of  interstellar  travel  to  conduct  planetary  surveys. 

This  is  when  I learned  my  skills  as  a pilot.  The  data 
gathered  was  accumulated  in  huge  computer  databases  and 
evaluated  by  biological  engineers.  195  (Footnote) 


110 


A computer  is  an  electronic  device  that  serves  as  an 
artificial  "brain"  or  complex  calculating  machine.  It 
is  capable  of  storing  information,  making  computations, 
solving  problems  and  performing  mechanical  functions. 

In  most  of  the  galactic  systems  of  the  universe,  very 
large  computers  are  commonly  used  to  run  the  routine 
administration,  mechanical  services  and  maintenance 
activities  of  an  entire  planet  or  planetary  system. 

Based  on  the  survey  data  gathered,  designs  and  artistic 
renderings  were  made  for  new  creatures.  Some  designs 
were  sold  to  the  highest  bidder.  Other  life  forms  were 
created  to  meet  the  customized  requests  of  our  clients. 

The  design  and  technical  specifications  were  passed 
along  an  assembly  line  through  a series  of  cellular, 
chemical,  and  mechanical  engineers  to  solve  the  various 
problems.  It  was  their  job  to  integrate  all  of  the 
component  factors  into  a workable,  functional  and 
aesthetic  finished  product. 

Prototypes  of  these  creatures  were  then  produced  and 
tested  in  artificially  created  environments. 
Imperfections  were  worked  out,  modifications  made  and 
eventually  the  new  life  form  was  "endowed"  or  "animated" 
with  a life  force  or  spiritual  energy  before  being 
introduced  into  the  actual  planetary  environment  for 
final  testing. 

After  a new  life  form  was  introduced,  we  monitored  the 
interaction  of  these  biological  organisms  with  the 
planetary  environment  and  with  other  indigenous 
life-forms.  Conflicts  resulting  from  the  interaction 
between  incompatible  organisms  were  resolved  through 
negotiation  between  ourselves  and  other  companies.  The 
negotiations  usually  resulted  in  compromises  requiring 
further  modification  to  our  creatures  or  to  theirs  or 
both.  This  is  part  of  a science  or  art  you  call 
"Eugenics".  196  (Footnote) 

In  some  cases  changes  were  made  in  the  planetary 
environment,  but  not  often,  as  planet  building  is  much 
more  complex  than  making  changes  to  an  individual  life 
form . 


Ill 


Coincidentally,  a friend  and  engineer  with  whom  I used 
to  work  with  at  the  Arcadia  Regeneration  Company  --  a 
long  time  after  I left  the  company  --  told  me  that  one 
of  the  projects  they  contracted  to  do,  in  more  recent 
times,  was  to  deliver  life  forms  to  Earth  to  replenish 
them  after  a war  in  this  region  of  the  galaxy  devastated 
most  of  the  life  on  the  planets  in  this  region  of  space. 
This  would  have  been  about  seventy  million  years  ago. 

The  skill  required  to  modify  the  planet  into  an 
ecologically  interactive  environment  that  will  support 
billions  of  diverse  species  was  an  immense  undertaking. 
Specialized  consultants  from  nearly  every  biotechnology 
company  in  the  galaxy  were  brought  in  to  help  with  the 
project . 

What  you  see  now  on  Earth  is  the  huge  variety  of  life 
forms  left  behind.  Your  scientists  believe  that  the 
fallacious  "theory  of  evolution"  is  an  explanation  for 
the  existence  of  all  the  life  forms  here.  The  truth  is 
that  all  life  forms  on  this  and  any  other  planet  in  this 
universe  were  created  by  companies  like  ours. 

How  else  can  you  explain  the  millions  of  completely 
divergent  and  unrelated  species  of  life  on  the  land  and 
in  the  oceans  of  this  planet?  How  else  can  you  explain 
the  source  of  spiritual  animation  which  defines  every 
living  creature?  To  say  it  is  the  work  of  "god",  is  far 
too  broad.  Every  IS-BE  has  many  names  and  faces  in  many 
times  and  places.  Every  IS-BE  is  a god.  When  they 
inhabit  a physical  object  they  are  the  source  of  Life. 

For  example,  there  are  millions  of  species  197  (Footnote)  of 
insects.  About  350,000  of  these  are  species  of  beetles. 
198  (Footnote)  There  may  be  as  many  as  100  million  species  of 
life  forms  on  Earth  at  any  given  time.  In  addition, 
there  are  many  times  more  extinct  species  of  life  on 
Earth  than  there  are  living  life  forms.  Some  of  these 
will  be  rediscovered  in  the  fossil  or  geological  records 
of  Earth. 

The  current  "theory  of  evolution"  of  life  forms  on  Earth 
does  not  consider  the  phenomena  of  biological  diversity. 
Evolution  by  natural  selection  is  science  fiction.  One 
species  does  not  accidentally,  or  randomly  evolve  to 
become  another  species,  as  the  Earth  textbooks  indicate.

without  manipulation  of  genetic  material  by  an  IS-BE. 

(Footnote) 

A simple  example  of  IS-BE  intervention  is  the  selective 
breeding  of  a species  200  (Footnote)  on  Earth.  Within  the  past 
few  hundred  years  several  hundred  dog  breeds  and 
hundreds  of  varieties  of  pigeons  and  dozens  of  Koi  fish 
have  been  "evolved"  in  just  a few  years,  beginning  with 
only  one  original  breed.  Without  active  intervention  by 
IS-BEs,  biological  organisms  rarely  change. 

The  development  of  an  animal  like  the  'duck-billed 
platypus'  required  a lot  of  very  clever  engineering  to 
combine  the  body  of  a beaver  with  the  bill  of  a duck  and 
make  a mammal  that  lays  eggs . Undoubtedly,  some  wealthy 
client  placed  a "special  order"  for  it  as  a gift  or 
curious  amusement.  I am  sure  the  laboratory  of  some 
biotechnical  company  worked  on  it  for  years  to  make  it  a 
self-replicating  life  form! 

The  notion  that  the  creation  of  any  life  form  could  have 
resulted  from  a coincidental  chemical  interaction 
moldering  up  from  some  primordial  ooze  is  beyond 
absurdity!  Factually,  some  organisms  on  Earth,  such  as 
Proteobacteria,  201  (Footnote)  are  modifications  of  a Phylum  202 
(Footnote)  designed  primarily  for  "Star  Type  3,  Class  C" 
planets.  In  other  words.  The  Domain  designation  for  a 
planet  with  an  anaerobic  atmosphere  nearest  a large, 
intensely  hot  blue  star,  203  (Footnote)  such  as  those  in  the 
constellation  of  Orion's  Belt  in  this  galaxy. 

Creating  life  forms  is  very  complex,  highly  technical 
work  for  IS-BEs  who  specialize  in  this  field.  Genetic 
anomalies  are  very  baffling  to  Earth  biologists  who  have 
had  their  memory  erased.  Unfortunately,  the  false 
memory  implantations  of  the  "Old  Empire"  prevent  Earth 
scientists  from  observing  obvious  anomalies. 

The  greatest  technical  challenge  of  biological  organisms 
was  the  invention  of  self-regeneration,  or  sexual 
reproduction.  It  was  invented  as  the  solution  to  the 
problem  of  having  to  continually  manufacture  replacement 
creatures  for  those  that  had  been  destroyed  and  eaten  by 
other  creatures.  Planetary  governments  did  not  want  to 
keep  buying  replacement  animals. 


113 


The  idea  was  contrived  trillions  of  years  ago  as  a 
result  of  a conference  held  to  resolve  arguments  between 
the  disputing  vested  interests  within  the  biotechnology 
industry.  The  infamous  "Council  of  Yuhmi-Krum"  was 
responsible  for  coordinating  creature  production. 

204  (Footnote) 

A compromise  was  reached,  after  certain  members  of  the 
Council  were  strategically  bribed  or  murdered,  to  author 
an  agreement  which  resulted  in  the  biological  phenomenon 
which  we  now  call  the  "food  chain". 

The  idea  that  a creature  would  need  to  consume  the  body 
of  another  life  form  as  an  energy  source  was  offered  as 
a solution  by  one  of  the  biggest  companies  in  the 
biological  engineering  business.  They  specialized  in 
creating  insects  and  flowering  plants . 

The  connection  between  the  two  is  obvious.  Nearly  every 
flowering  plant  requires  a symbiotic  relationship  with 
an  insect  in  order  to  propagate.  The  reason  is  obvious: 
both  the  bugs  and  the  flowers  were  created  by  the  same 
company.  Unfortunately,  this  same  company  also  had  a 
division  which  created  parasites  and  bacteria. 

The  name  of  the  company  roughly  translated  into  English 
would  be  "Bugs  & Blossoms"  . They  wanted  to  justify  the 
fact  that  the  only  valid  purpose  of  the  parasitic 
creatures  they  manufactured  was  to  aid  the  decomposition 
of  organic  material.  There  was  a very  limited  market 
for  such  creatures  at  that  time. 

In  order  to  expand  their  business  they  hired  a big 
public  relations  firm  and  a powerful  group  of  political 
lobbyists  to  glorify  the  idea  that  life  forms  should 
feed  from  other  life  forms.  They  invented  a "scientific 
theory"  to  use  as  a promotion  gimmick.  The  theory  was 
that  all  creatures  needed  to  have  "food"  as  a source  of 
energy.  Before  that,  none  of  the  life  forms  being 
manufactured  required  any  external  energy.  Animals  did 
not  eat  other  animals  for  food,  but  consumed  sunlight, 
minerals  or  vegetable  matter  only. 

Of  course,  "Bugs  & Blossoms"  went  into  the  business  of 
designing  and  manufacturing  carnivores.  Before  long,  so 
many  animals  were  being  eaten  as  food  that  the  problem 
of  replenishing  them  became  very  difficult.  As  a 


114 


'solution',  "Bugs  & Blossoms"  proposed,  with  the  help  of 
some  strategically  placed  bribes  in  high  places,  that 
other  companies  begin  using  'sexual  reproduction'  as  the 
basis  for  replenishing  life-forms.  "Bugs  & Blossoms" 
was  the  first  company  to  develop  blueprints  for  sexual 
reproduction,  of  course. 

As  expected,  the  patent  licenses  for  the  biological 
engineering  process  205  (Footnote)  required  to  implant 
stimulus-response  mating,  cellular  division  and  pre- 
programmed growth  patterns  for  self-regenerating  animals 
were  owned  by  "Bugs  & Blossoms"  too. 

Through  the  next  few  million  years  laws  were  passed  that 
required  that  these  programs  be  purchased  by  the  other 
biological  technology  companies.  These  were  required  to 
be  imprinted  into  the  cellular  design  of  all  existing 
life-forms.  It  became  a very  expensive  undertaking  for 
other  biotechnology  companies  to  make  such  an  awkward, 
and  impractical  idea  work. 

This  led  to  the  corruption  and  downfall  of  the  entire 
industry.  Ultimately,  the  'food  and  sex'  idea 
completely  ruined  the  bio-technology  industry,  including 
"Bugs  & Blossoms".  The  entire  industry  faded  away  as 
the  market  for  manufactured  life  forms  disappeared. 
Consequently,  when  a species  became  extinct,  there  is  no 
way  to  replace  them  because  the  technology  of  creating 
new  life  forms  has  been  lost.  Obviously,  none  of  this 
technology  was  ever  known  on  Earth,  and  probably  never 
will  be. 

There  are  still  computer  files  on  some  planets  far  from 
here  which  record  the  procedures  for  biological 
engineering.  Possibly  the  laboratories  and  computers 
still  exist  somewhere.  However,  there  is  no  one  around 
doing  anything  with  them.  Therefore,  you  can  understand 
why  it  is  so  important  for  The  Domain  to  protect  the 
dwindling  number  of  creatures  left  on  Earth. 

The  core  concept  behind  'sexual  reproduction'  technology 
was  the  invention  of  a chemical/electronic  interaction 
called  "cyclical  stimulus-response  generators".  206  (Footnote) 
This  is  an  programmed  genetic  mechanism  which  causes  a 
seemingly  spontaneous,  recurring  impulse  to  reproduce. 

The  same  technique  was  later  adapted  and  applied  to 
biological  flesh  bodies,  including  Homo  Sapiens. 


115 


Another  important  mechanism  used  in  the  reproductive 
process,  especially  with  Homo  Sapiens  type  bodies,  is 
the  implantation  of  a "chemical-electrical  trigger" 
mechanism  207  (Footnote)  in  the  body.  The  "trigger"  which 
attracts  IS-BEs  to  inhabit  a human  body,  or  any  kind  of 
"flesh  body",  is  the  use  of  an  artificially  imprinted 
electronic  wave  which  uses  "aesthetic  pain"  to  attract 
the  IS-BE. 

Every  trap  in  the  universe,  including  those  used  to 
capture  IS-BEs  who  remain  free,  is  "baited"  with  an 
aesthetic  electronic  wave.  The  sensations  caused  by  the 
aesthetic  wavelength  are  more  attractive  to  an  IS-BE 
than  any  other  sensation.  When  the  electronic  waves  of 
pain  and  beauty  are  combined  together,  this  causes  the 
IS-BE  to  get  "stuck"  in  the  body. 

The  "reproductive  trigger"  used  for  lesser  life  forms, 
such  as  cattle  and  other  mammals,  is  triggered  by 
chemicals  emitted  from  the  scent  glands,  combined  with 
reproductive  chemical-electrical  impulses  stimulated  by 
testosterone,  or  estrogen  . 208  (Footnote) 

These  are  also  interactive  with  nutrition  levels  which 
cause  the  life  form  to  reproduce  more  when  deprived  of 
food  sources.  Starvation  promoted  reproductive  activity 
as  a means  of  perpetuating  survival  through  future 
regenerations,  when  the  current  organism  fails  to 
survive.  These  fundamental  principles  have  been  applied 
throughout  all  species  of  life. 

The  debilitating  impact  and  addiction  to  the  "sexual 
aesthetic-pain"  electronic  wave  209  (Footnote)  is  the  reason 
that  the  ruling  class  of  The  Domain  do  not  inhabit  flesh 
bodies.  This  is  also  why  officers  of  The  Domain  Forces 
only  use  doll  bodies.  This  wave  has  proven  to  be  the 
most  effective  trapping  device  ever  created  in  the 
history  of  the  universe,  as  far  as  I know. 

The  civilizations  of  The  Domain  and  the  "Old  Empire" 
both  depend  on  this  device  to  "recruit"  and  maintain  a 
work  force  of  IS-BEs  who  inhabit  flesh  bodies  on  planets 
and  installations.  These  IS-BEs  are  the  "working  class" 
beings  who  do  all  of  the  slavish,  manual,  undesirable 
work  on  planets. 


116 


As  I mentioned,  there  is  a very  highly  regimented  and 
fixed  hierarchy  or  "class  system"  for  all  IS-BEs 
throughout  the  "Old  Empire",  and  The  Domain,  as  follows: 

The  highest  class  are  "free"  IS-BEs.  That  is,  they  are 
not  restricted  to  the  use  of  any  type  of  body  and  may 
come  and  go  at  will,  provided  that  they  do  not  destroy 
or  interfere  with  the  social,  economic  or  political 
structure . 

Below  this  class  are  many  strata  of  "limited"  IS-BEs  who 
may  or  may  not  use  a body  from  time  to  time. 

Limitations  are  imposed  on  each  IS-BE  regarding  range  of 
power,  ability  and  mobility  they  can  exercise. 

Below  these  are  the  "doll  body"  classes,  to  which  I 
belong.  Nearly  all  space  officers  and  crew  members  of 
space  craft  are  required  to  travel  through  intergalactic 
space.  Therefore,  they  are  each  equipped  with  a body 
manufactured  from  light  weight,  durable  materials. 
Various  body  types  have  been  designed  to  facilitate 
specialized  functions.  Some  bodies  have  accessories, 
such  as  interchangeable  tools  or  apparatus  for 
activities  such  as  maintenance,  mining,  chemical 
management,  navigation,  and  so  forth.  There  are  many 
gradations  of  this  body  type  which  also  serve  as  an 
"insignia"  of  rank. 

Below  these  are  the  soldier  class.  The  soldiers  are 
equipped  with  a myriad  of  weapons,  and  specialized 
armaments  designed  to  detect,  combat  and  overwhelm  any 
imaginable  foe.  Some  soldiers  are  issued  mechanical 
bodies.  Most  soldiers  are  merely  remote  controlled 
robots  with  no  class  designation. 

The  lower  classes  are  limited  to  "flesh  bodies".  Of 
course,  it  is  not  possible  for  these  to  travel  through 
space  for  obvious  reasons.  Fundamentally,  flesh  bodies 
are  far  too  fragile  to  endure  the  stresses  of  gravity, 
temperature  extremes,  radiation  exposure,  atmospheric 
chemicals  and  the  vacuum  of  space.  There  are  also  the 
obvious  logistical  inconveniences  of  food,  defecation, 
sleep,  atmospheric  elements,  and  air  pressure  required 
by  flesh  bodies,  that  doll  bodies  do  not  require. 

Most  flesh  bodies  will  suffocate  in  only  a few  minutes 
without  a specific  combination  of  atmospheric  chemicals. 


117 


After  2 or  3 days  the  bacteria  which  live  internally  and 
externally  on  the  body  cause  severe  odors  to  be  emitted. 
Odors  of  any  kind  are  not  acceptable  in  a space  vessel. 

Flesh  can  tolerate  only  a very  limited  spectrum  of 
temperatures,  whereas  in  space  the  contrast  of 
temperatures  may  vary  hundreds  of  degrees  within 
seconds.  Of  course  flesh  bodies  are  utterly  useless  for 
military  duty.  A single  shot  from  a hand-held, 
electronic  blast  gun  instantly  turns  a flesh  body  into  a 
noxious  vapor  cloud. 

IS-BEs  who  inhabit  flesh  bodies  have  lost  much  of  their 
native  ability  and  power.  Although  it  is  theoretically 
possible  to  regain  or  rehabilitate  these  abilities,  no 
practical  means  has  been  discovered  or  authorized  by  The 
Domain . 

Even  though  space  craft  of  The  Domain  travel  trillions 
of  "light  years"  in  a single  day,  210  (Footnote)  the  time 
required  to  traverse  the  space  between  galaxies  is 
significant,  not  to  mention  the  length  of  time  to 
complete  just  one  set  of  mission  orders,  which  may 
require  thousands  of  years.  Biological  flesh  bodies 
live  for  only  a very  short  time  --  only  60  to  150  years, 
at  most  --  whereas  doll  bodies  can  be  re-used  and 
repaired  almost  indefinitely. 

The  first  development  of  biological  bodies  began  in  this 
universe  about  seventy-four  trillion  years  ago.  It 
rapidly  became  a fad  for  IS-BEs  to  create  and  inhabit 
various  types  of  bodies  for  an  assortment  of  nefarious 
reasons:  especially  for  amusement,  this  is  to 

experience  various  physical  sensations  vicariously 
through  the  body. 

Since  that  time  there  has  been  a continuing  "de- 
evolution" in  the  relationship  of  IS-BEs  to  bodies.  As 
IS-BEs  continued  to  play  around  with  these  bodies, 
certain  tricks  were  introduced  to  cause  IS-BEs  to  get 
trapped  inside  a body  so  they  were  unable  to  leave 
again . 

This  was  done  primarily  by  making  bodies  that  appeared 
sturdy,  but  were  actually  very  fragile.  An  IS-BE,  using 
their  natural  power  to  create  energy,  accidentally 
injured  a body  when  contacting  it.  The  IS-BE  was 


118 


remorseful  about  having  injured  this  fragile  body.  The 
next  time  they  encountered  a body  they  began  to  be 
"careful"  with  them.  In  so  doing,  the  IS-BE  would 
withdraw  or  minimize  their  own  power  so  as  not  to  injure 
the  body.  A very  long  and  treacherous  history  of  this 
kind  of  trickery,  combined  with  similar  misadventures 
eventually  resulted  in  a large  number  of  IS-BEs  becoming 
permanently  trapped  in  bodies. 

Of  course  this  became  a profitable  enterprise  for  some 
IS-BEs  who  took  advantage  of  this  situation  to  make 
slaves  of  others . The  resulting  enslavement  progressed 
over  trillions  of  years,  and  continues  today. 

Ultimately  the  dwindling  ability  of  IS-BEs  to  maintain  a 
personal  state  of  operational  freedom  and  ability  to 
create  energy  resulted  in  the  vast  and  carefully  guarded 
hierarchy  or  class  system.  Using  bodies  as  a symbol  of 
each  class  is  used  throughout  the  "Old  Empire",  as  well 
as  The  Domain. 

The  vast  majority  of  IS-BEs  throughout  the  galaxies  of 
this  universe  inhabit  some  form  of  flesh  body.  The 
structure,  appearance,  operation  and  habitat  of  these 
bodies  vary  according  to  the  gravity,  atmosphere,  and 
climatic  conditions  of  the  planet  they  inhabit.  Body 
types  are  predetermined  largely  by  the  type  and  size  of 
the  star  around  which  the  planet  revolves,  the  distance 
from  the  star,  the  geological,  as  well  as  the 
atmospheric  components  of  the  planet. 

On  the  average,  these  stars  and  planets  fall  into 
gradients  of  classification  which  are  fairly  standard 
throughout  the  universe.  For  example.  Earth  is 
identified,  roughly,  as  a "Sun  Type  12,  Class  7 planet". 
That  is  a heavy  gravity,  nitrogen/oxygen  atmosphere 
planet,  211  (Footnote) with  biological  life-forms,  in 
proximity  to  a single,  yellow,  medium-size,  low- 
radiation  sun  or  "Type  12  star".  The  proper 
designations  are  difficult  to  translate  accurately  due 
to  the  extreme  limitations  of  astronomical  nomenclature 
in  the  English  language. 

There  are  as  many  varieties  of  life  forms  as  there  are 
grains  of  sands  on  the  beach.  You  can  imagine  how  many 
different  creatures  and  types  of  bodies  have  been 
manufactured  by  the  millions  of  companies  such  as  "Bugs 


119 


& Blossoms"  for  all  of  the  myriad  planetary  systems 
during  the  course  of  seventy-four  trillion  years!"

"When  Airl  finished  telling  me  this  "story",  there  was  a long,  silent  pause  while  I 
muddled  through  all  this  in  my  mind.  Had  Airl  been  reading  science  fiction  books 
and  fantasy  stories  during  the  night?  Why  would  she  tell  me  something  so  incredibly 
far-fetched?  If  there  had  not  been  a 40  inch  tall  alien,  with  gray  "skin",  and  three 
fingers  on  each  hand  and  foot  sitting  directly  across  from  me,  I would  not  have 
believed  a single  word  of  it! 

In  retrospect,  over  the  60  years  since  Airl  gave  me  this  information.  Earth  doctors 
have  begun  to  develop  some  of  the  biological  engineering  technology  that  Airl  told 
me  about  right  here  on  Earth.  Heart  bypasses,  cloning,  test  tube  babies,  organ 
transplants,  plastic  surgery,  genes,  chromosomes,  and  so  forth. 

One  thing  is  very  sure:  1 have  never  looked  at  a bug  or  flower  the  same  way  since 
then,  not  to  mention  my  religious  belief  in  Genesis."

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  29.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

"Today  Airl  told  me  about  some  very  technical  things.  I 
took  a few  notes  to  remind  myself,  so  I can  repeat  what 
she  said  as  closely  as  possible.  She  began  with  an 
analogy  about  scientific  knowledge: 

Can  you  imagine  how  much  progress  could  have  been  made 
on  Earth  if  people  like  Johannes  Gutenberg 212  (Footnote),  Sir 
Isaac  Newton,  Benjamin  Franklin,  George  Washington 
Carver,  213  (Footnote)  Nicola  Tesla,  Jonas  Salk,  214  (Footnote)  and 
Richard  Trevithick, 215  (Footnote)  and  many  thousands  of 
similar  geniuses  and  inventors  were  living  today? 

Image  what  technical  accomplishments  might  have  been 
developed  if  men  like  these  never  died?  What  if  they 
were  never  given  amnesia  and  made  to  forget  everything 
they  knew?  What  if  they  continued  to  learn  and  work 
forever? 

What  level  of  technology  and  civilization  could  be 
attained  if  Immortal  Spiritual  Beings  like  these  were 


allowed  to  continue  to  create  --  in  the  same  place  and 
at  the  same  time  --  for  billions  or  trillions  of  years? 

Essentially,  The  Domain  is  one  civilization  that  has 
existed  for  trillions  of  years  with  relatively 
uninterrupted  progress.  Knowledge  has  been  accumulated, 
refined,  and  improved  upon  in  nearly  every  field  of 
study  imaginable  --  and  beyond  imagining. 

Originally,  the  interaction  of  IS-BE  illusions  or 
inventions  created  the  very  fabric  of  the  physical 
universe  --  the  microcosm  and  the  macrocosm.  Every 
single  particle  of  the  universe  has  been  imagined  and 
brought  into  existence  by  an  IS-BE.  Everything  created 
from  an  idea  --  a thought  with  no  weight  or  size  or 
location  in  space. 

Every  speck  of  dust  in  space,  from  the  size  of  the 
tiniest  subatomic  particle,  to  the  size  of  a sun  or  a 
magelantic  cloud  the  size  of  many  galaxies,  was  created 
from  the  nothingness  of  a thought.  Even  the  tiniest, 
individual  cells  were  contrived  and  coordinated  to 
enable  a microbial  entity  to  sense,  and  navigate  through 
infinitesimally  small  spaces.  These  also  came  from  an 
idea  thought  up  by  an  IS-BE. 

You,  and  every  IS-BE  on  Earth,  have  participated  in  the 
creation  of  this  universe.  Even  though  you  are  now 
confined  to  a fragile  body  made  of  flesh;  you  live  for 
only  65  short  rotations  of  your  planet  around  a star; 
you  have  been  given  overwhelming  electric  shock 
treatments  to  wipe  out  your  memory;  you  must  learn 
everything  all  over  again  each  lifetime;  in  spite  of  all 
these  circumstances,  you  are  who  you  are  and  will  always 
be.  And,  deep  down,  you  still  know  that  your  are  and 
what  you  know.  You  are  still  the  essence  of  you. 

How  else  can  one  understand  the  child  prodigy?  An  IS-BE 
who  plays  concertos  on  a piano  at  three  years  of  age, 
without  formal  training?  Impossible,  if  they  did  not 
simply  remember  what  they  have  already  learned  from 
thousands  of  lives  spent  in  front  of  a keyboard  in  times 
untold,  or  on  planets  far  away.  They  may  not  know  how 
they  know.  They  just  know. 

Humankind  has  developed  more  technology  in  the  past  100 
years  than  in  the  previous  2,000  years.  Why?  The 


122 


answer  is  simple:  the  influence  of  the  "Old  Empire" 
over  the  mind  and  over  the  affairs  of  Mankind  has  been 
diminished  by  The  Domain. 

A renaissance  216  (Footnote)  of  invention  on  Earth  began  in 
1,250  AD  with  the  destruction  of  the  "Old  Empire"  space 
fleet  in  the  solar  system.  During  the  next  500  years. 
Earth  may  have  the  potential  to  regain  autonomy  and 
independence,  but  only  to  the  degree  that  humankind  can 
apply  the  concentrated  genius  of  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  to 
solve  the  amnesia  problem. 

However,  on  a cautionary  note,  the  inventive  potential 
of  the  IS-BEs  who  have  been  exiled  to  this  planet  is 
severely  compromised  by  the  criminal  elements  of  the 
Earth  population.  Specifically,  politicians,  war- 
mongers and  irresponsible  physicists  who  create 
unlimited  weapons  such  as  nuclear  bombs,  chemicals, 
diseases  and  social  chaos.  These  have  the  potential  to 
extinguish  all  life  forms  on  Earth,  forever. 

Even  the  relatively  small  explosions  that  were  tested 
and  used  in  the  past  two  years  on  Earth  have  the 
potential  to  destroy  all  of  life,  if  deployed  in 
sufficient  quantities.  Larger  weapons  could  consume  all 
of  the  oxygen  in  the  global  atmosphere  in  a single 
explosion!  217  (Footnote) 

Therefore,  the  most  fundamental  problems  that  must  be 
solved  in  order  to  ensure  that  Earth  will  not  be 
destroyed  by  technology,  are  social  and  humanitarian 
problems.  The  greatest  scientific  minds  of  Earth,  in 
spite  of  mathematical  or  mechanical  genius,  have  never 
addressed  these  problems. 

Therefore,  do  not  look  to  scientists  to  save  Earth  or 
the  future  of  humanity.  Any  so-called  "science"  that  is 
solely  based  on  the  paradigm 218  (Footnote)  that  existence  is 
composed  only  of  energy  and  objects  moving  through  space 
is  not  a science.  Such  beings  utterly  ignore  the 
creative  spark  originated  by  an  individual  IS-BE  and 
collective  work  of  the  IS-BEs  who  continually  create  the 
physical  universe  and  all  universes.  Every  science  will 
remain  relatively  ineffective  or  destructive  to  the 
degree  that  it  omits  or  devaluates  the  relative 
importance  of  the  spiritual  spark  that  ignites  all  of 
creation  and  life. 


123 


Unfortunately  this  ignorance  has  been  very  carefully  and 
forcefully  instilled  in  human  beings  by  the  "Old  Empire" 
to  ensure  that  IS-BEs  on  this  planet  will  not  be  able  to 
recover  their  innate  ability  to  create  space,  energy, 
matter  and  time,  or  any  other  component  part  of 
universes.  As  long  as  awareness  of  the  immortal, 
powerful,  spiritual  "self"  is  ignored,  humanity  will 
remain  imprisoned  until  the  day  of  its  own,  self- 
destruction  and  oblivion. 

Do  not  rely  on  the  dogma  of  physical  sciences  to  master 
the  fundamental  forces  of  creation  any  more  than  you 
would  trust  the  chanted  incantations  of  an  incense- 
burning shaman.  The  net  result  of  both  of  these  is 
entrapment  and  oblivion.  Scientists  pretend  to  observe, 
but  they  only  suppose  that  they  see,  and  call  it  fact. 
Like  the  blind  man,  a scientist  can  not  learn  to  see 
until  he  realizes  that  he  is  blind.  The  "facts"  of 
Earth  science  do  not  include  the  source  of  creation. 

They  include  only  the  result,  or  byproducts  of  creation. 
The  "facts"  of  science  to  not  include  any  memory  of  the 
nearly  infinite  past  experience  of  existence. 

The  essence  of  creation  and  existence  cannot  be  found 
through  the  lens  of  a microscope  or  telescope  or  by  any 
other  measurement  of  the  physical  universe.  One  cannot 
comprehend  the  perfume  of  a flower  or  the  pain  felt  by 
an  abandoned  lover  with  meters  and  calipers . 

Everything  you  will  ever  know  about  the  creative  force 
and  ability  of  a god  can  be  found  within  you  --  an 
Immortal  Spiritual  Being. 

How  can  a blind  man  teach  others  to  see  the  nearly 
infinite  gradients  that  comprise  the  spectrum  of  light? 
The  notion  that  one  can  understand  the  universe  without 
understanding  the  nature  of  an  IS-BE  is  as  absurd  as 
conceiving  that  an  artist  is  a speck  of  paint  on  his  own 
canvas.  Or,  that  the  lace  on  a ballet  shoe  is  the 
choreographer's  vision,  or  the  grace  of  a dancer,  or  the 
electric  excitement  of  opening  night. 

Study  of  the  spirit  has  been  booby-trapped  by  the 
thought  control  operation  through  religious 
superstitions  they  instill  in  the  minds  of  men. 
Conversely,  the  study  of  the  spirit  and  the  mind  have 


124 


been  prohibited  by  science  which  eliminates  anything 
that  is  not  measurable  in  the  physical  universe. 

Science  is  the  religion  of  matter.  It  worships  matter. 

The  paradigm  of  science  is  that  creation  is  all,  and  the 
creator  is  nothing.  Religion  says  the  creator  is  all, 
and  the  creation  is  nothing.  These  two  extremes  are  the 
bars  of  a prison  cell.  They  prevent  observation  of  all 
phenomenon  as  an  interactive  whole . 

Study  of  creation  without  knowing  the  IS-BE,  the  source 
of  creation,  is  futile.  When  you  sail  to  the  edge  of  a 
universe  conceived  by  science,  you  fall  off  the  end  into 
an  abyss  of  dark,  dispassionate  space  and  lifeless, 
unrelenting  force.  On  Earth,  you  have  been  convinced 
that  the  oceans  of  the  mind  and  spirit  are  filled  with 
gruesome,  ghoulish  monsters  that  will  eat  you  alive  if 
you  dare  to  venture  beyond  the  breakwater  of 
superstition . 

The  vested  interest  of  the  "Old  Empire"  prison  system  is 
to  prevent  you  from  looking  at  your  own  soul.  They  fear 
that  you  will  see  in  your  own  memory  the  slave  masters 
who  keep  you  imprisoned.  The  prison  is  made  of  shadows 
in  your  mind.  The  shadows  are  made  of  lies,  and  pain, 
and  loss,  and  fear. 

The  true  geniuses  of  civilization  are  those  IS-BEs  who 
will  enable  other  IS-BEs  to  recover  their  memory  and 
regain  self-realization  and  self-determination.  This 
issue  is  not  solved  through  enforcing  moral  regulation 
on  behavior,  or  through  the  control  of  beings  through 
mystery,  faith,  drugs,  guns  or  any  other  dogma  of  a 
slave  society.  And  certainly  not  through  the  use  of 
electric  shock  and  hypnotic  commands! 

The  survival  of  Earth  and  every  being  on  it  depends  on 
the  ability  to  recover  the  memory  of  skills  you  have 
accrued  through  the  trillenia;  to  recover  the  essence 
of  yourself.  Such  an  art,  science,  or  technology  has 
never  been  conceived  in  the  "Old  Empire" . Otherwise, 
they  would  not  have  resorted  to  the  "solution"  that 
brought  you  to  your  current  condition  on  Earth. 

Neither  has  such  technology  ever  been  developed  by  The 
Domain.  Until  recently,  the  necessity  of  rehabilitating 
an  IS-BE  with  amnesia  has  not  been  needed.  Therefore, 


125 


no  one  has  ever  worked  on  solving  this  problem.  So  far, 
unfortunately.  The  Domain  has  no  solution  to  offer. 

A few  officers  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  have 
taken  it  upon  themselves  to  provide  technology  to  Earth 
during  their  off  duty  time.  These  officers  leave  their 
"doll"  at  the  space  station  and,  as  an  IS-BE,  assume  or 
take  over  a biological  body  on  Earth.  In  some  cases  an 
officer  can  remain  on  duty  while  they  inhabit  and 
control  other  bodies  at  the  same  time. 

This  is  a very  dangerous  and  adventurous  undertaking. 

It  requires  a very  able  IS-BE  to  accomplish  such  a 
mission,  and  return  to  base  successfully.  One  officer 
who  did  this  recently,  while  continuing  to  attend  to  his 
official  duties,  was  known  on  Earth  as  the  electronics 
inventor,  Nicola  Tesla.  219  (Footnote) 

It  is  my  intention,  although  is  not  a part  of  my  mission 
orders,  to  assist  you  in  your  efforts  to  advance 
scientific  and  humanitarian  progress  on  Earth.  My 
intention  is  to  help  other  IS-BEs  to  help  themselves.  In 
order  to  solve  the  amnesia  problem  on  Earth  you  will 
need  much  more  advanced  technology,  as  well  as  social 
stability  to  allow  enough  time  for  research  and 
development  of  techniques  to  free  the  IS-BE  from  the 
body,  and  to  free  the  mind  of  the  IS-BE  from  amnesia. 

Although  The  Domain  has  a long  term  interest  in 
maintaining  Earth  as  a useful  planet,  it  has  no 
particular  interest  in  the  human  population  of  Earth, 
other  than  its  own  personnel  here.  We  are  interested  in 
preventing  destruction,  as  well  as  accelerating  the 
development  of  technologies  that  will  sustain  the 
infrastructures  of  the  global  biosphere,  hydrosphere  and 
atmosphere . 

To  this  end,  you  will  discover,  on  very  careful  and 
thorough  examination,  that  my  space  craft  contains  a 
wide  assortment  of  technology  that  does  not  yet  exist  on 
Earth.  If  you  distribute  pieces  of  this  craft  to 
various  scientists  for  study,  they  will  be  able  to 
reverse  engineer  220  (Footnote)  some  of  the  technology  to  the 
extent  that  Earth  has  the  raw  materials  required  to 
replicate  these  components. 


126 


Some  features  will  be  indecipherable.  Other  features 
cannot  be  duplicated  as  Earth  does  not  have  the  natural 
resources  required  to  replicate  them.  This  is 
especially  true  of  the  metals  used  to  construct  the 
craft.  Not  only  do  these  metals  not  exist  on  Earth,  the 
refining  process  required  to  produce  these  metals  took 
billions  of  years  to  develop. 

It  is  also  true  of  the  navigation  system  which  requires 
an  IS-BE  whose  own  personal  wavelength  has  been 
specifically  attuned  to  the  "neural  network"  of  the 
craft.  221  (Footnote)  The  pilot  of  the  craft  must  possess  a 
very  high  order  of  energy  volition,  discipline,  training 
and  intelligence  to  manipulate  such  a craft.  IS-BEs  on 
Earth  are  incapable  of  this  expertise  because  it 
requires  the  use  of  an  artificial  body  specifically 
created  for  this  purpose. 

Certain  individual  Earth  scientists,  some  of  whom  are 
among  the  most  brilliant  minds  in  the  history  of  the 
universe,  will  have  their  memory  of  this  technology 
jogged  when  they  examine  the  craft  components.  Just  as 
some  of  the  scientists  and  physicists  on  Earth  have  been 
able  to  "remember"  how  to  recreate  electric  generators, 
internal  combustion  and  steam  locomotion,  refrigeration, 
aircraft,  antibiotics,  and  other  tools  of  your 
civilization,  they  will  also  rediscover  other  vital 
technology  in  my  craft. 

The  following  are  the  specific  systems  embodied  in  my 
craft  that  contain  useful  components: 

1)  There  is  an  assortment  of  microscopic  wiring  or 
fibers  222  (Footnote)  within  the  walls  of  the  craft  that 
control  such  things  as  communications,  information 
storage,  computer  function,  and  automatic  navigation. 

2)  The  same  wiring  is  used  for  light,  sub-light  and 
ultra-light  spectrum  detection  and  vision.  223  (Footnote) 

3)  The  fabrics  of  the  interior  of  the  craft  224  (Footnote)  are 
far  superior  to  any  on  Earth  at  this  time  and  have 
hundreds  or  thousands  of  applications. 

4)  You  will  also  find  mechanisms  for  creating, 
amplifying  and  channeling  light  particles  or  waves  as  a 
form  of  energy.  225  (Footnote) 


127 


As  an  officer,  pilot  and  engineer  of  The  Domain  Forces, 

I am  not  at  liberty  to  discuss  or  convey  the  detailed 
operation  or  construction  of  the  craft  in  any  way,  other 
than  what  I have  just  disclosed.  However,  I am 
confident  that  there  are  many  competent  engineers  on 
Earth  who  will  develop  useful  technology  with  these 
resources . 

I am  providing  these  details  to  you  in  the  hope  that  the 
greater  good  of  The  Domain  will  be  served."

Chapter  Twelve 
A Lesson  In  Immortality 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"I  think  the  following  transcript  is  pretty  much  self-explanatory." 

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  30.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

Immortal  Spiritual  Beings,  which  I refer  to  as  "IS-BEs", 
for  the  sake  of  convenience,  are  the  source  and  creators 
of  illusions.  Each  one,  individually  and  collectively, 
in  their  original,  unfettered  state  of  being,  are  an 
eternal,  all-powerful,  all-knowing  entity. 

IS-BEs  create  space  by  imagining  a location.  The 
intervening  distance  between  themselves  and  the  imagined 
location  is  what  we  call  space.  An  IS-BE  can  perceive 
the  space  and  objects  created  by  other  IS-BEs. 

IS-BEs  are  not  physical  universe  entities.  They  are  a 
source  of  energy  and  illusion.  IS-BEs  are  not  located 
in  space  or  time,  but  can  create  space,  place  particles 
in  space,  create  energy,  and  shape  particles  into 
various  forms,  cause  the  motion  of  forms,  and  animate 
forms.  Any  form  that  is  animated  by  an  IS-BE  is  called 
life . 

An  IS-BE  can  decide  to  agree  that  they  are  located  in 
space  or  time,  and  that  they,  themselves,  are  an  object, 
or  any  other  manner  of  illusion  created  by  themselves  or 
another  or  other  IS-BEs. 

The  disadvantage  of  creating  an  illusion  is  that  an 
illusion  must  be  continually  created.  If  not 
continually  created,  it  disappears.  Continual  creation 


129 


of  an  illusion  requires  incessant  attention  to  every 
detail  of  the  illusion  in  order  to  sustain  it. 

A common  denominator  of  IS-BEs  seems  to  be  the  desire  to 
avoid  boredom.  A spirit  only,  without  interaction  with 
other  IS-BEs,  and  the  unpredictable  motion,  drama,  and 
unanticipated  intentions  and  illusions  being  created  by 
other  IS-BEs,  is  easily  bored. 

What  if  you  could  imagine  anything,  perceive  everything, 
and  cause  anything  to  happen,  at  will?  What  if  you 
couldn't  do  anything  else?  What  if  you  always  knew  the 
outcome  of  every  game  and  the  answer  to  every  question? 
Would  you  get  bored? 

The  entire  back  time  track  of  IS-BEs  is  immeasurable, 
nearly  infinite  in  terms  of  physical  universe  time. 

There  is  no  measurable  "beginning"  or  "end"  for  an  IS- 
BE . They  simply  exist  in  an  everlasting  now. 

Another  common  denominator  of  IS-BEs  is  that  admiration 
of  one's  own  illusions  by  others  is  very  desirable.  If 
the  desired  admiration  is  not  forthcoming,  the  IS-BE 
will  keep  creating  the  illusion  in  an  attempt  to  get 
admiration.  One  could  say  that  the  entire  physical 
universe  is  made  of  unadmired  illusions. 

The  origins  of  this  universe  began  with  the  creation  of 
individual,  illusionary  spaces.  These  were  the  "home" 
of  the  IS-BE.  Sometimes  a universe  is  a collaborative 
creation  of  illusions  by  two  or  more  IS-BEs.  A 
proliferation  of  IS-BEs,  and  the  universes  they  create, 
sometimes  collide  or  become  commingled  or  merge  to  an 
extent  that  many  IS-BEs  shared  in  the  co-creation  of  a 
universe . 

IS-BEs  diminish  their  ability  in  order  to  have  a game  to 
play.  IS-BEs  think  that  any  game  is  better  than  no 
game.  They  will  endure  pain,  suffering,  stupidity, 
privation,  and  all  manner  of  unnecessary  and  undesirable 
conditions,  just  to  play  a game.  Pretending  that  one 
does  not  know  all,  see  all  and  cause  all,  is  a way  to 
create  the  conditions  necessary  for  playing  a game: 
unknowns,  freedoms,  barriers  and/or  opponents  and  goals. 
Ultimately,  playing  a game  solves  the  problem  of 
boredom . 


130 


In  this  fashion,  all  of  the  space,  galaxies,  suns, 
planets,  and  physical  phenomena  of  this  universe, 
including  life  forms,  places,  and  events  that  have  been 
created  by  IS-BEs  and  sustained  by  mutual  agreement  that 
these  things  exist. 

There  are  as  many  universes  as  there  are  IS-BEs  to 
imagine,  build  and  perceive  them,  each  existing 
concurrently  within  its  own  continuum.  226  (Footnote)  Each 
universe  is  created  using  its  own,  unique  set  of  rules, 
as  imagined,  altered,  preserved  or  destroyed  by  one  or 
more  IS-BEs  who  created  it.  Time,  energy,  objects  and 
space,  as  defined  in  terms  of  the  physical  universe,  may 
or  may  not  exist  in  other  universes.  The  Domain  exists 
in  such  a universe,  as  well  as  in  the  physical  universe. 

One  of  the  rules  of  the  physical  universe  is  that  energy 
can  be  created,  but  not  destroyed.  So,  the  universe 
will  keep  expanding  as  long  as  IS-BEs  keep  adding  more 
new  energy  into  it.  It  is  nearly  infinite.  It  is  like 
an  automobile  assembly  line  that  never  stops  running  and 
none  of  the  cars  are  ever  destroyed. 

Every  IS-BE  is  basically  good.  Therefore,  an  IS-BE  does 
not  enjoy  doing  things  to  other  IS-BEs  which  they 
themselves  do  not  want  to  experience.  For  an  IS-BE 
there  is  no  inherent  standard  for  what  is  good  or  bad, 
right  or  wrong,  ugly  or  beautiful.  These  ideas  are  all 
based  on  the  opinion  of  each  individual  IS-BE. 

The  closest  concept  that  human  beings  have  to  describe 
an  IS-BE  is  as  a god:  all-knowing,  all-powerful, 
infinite.  So,  how  does  a god  stop  being  a god?  They 
pretend  NOT  to  know.  How  can  you  play  a game  of  "hide 
and  seek"  if  you  always  know  where  the  other  person  is 
hiding? 

You  pretend  NOT  to  know  where  the  other  players  are 
hiding,  so  you  can  go  off  to  "seek"  them.  This  is  how 
games  are  created.  You  have  forgotten  that  you  are  just 
"pretending".  In  so  doing,  IS-BEs  become  entrapped  and 
enslaved  inside  a maze  of  their  own  devising. 

How  does  one  create  a cage,  lock  one's  own  self  inside 
the  cage,  throw  away  the  key,  and  forget  there  is  a key 
or  a cage,  and  forget  there  is  an  "inside"  or  "outside", 
and  even  forget  there  is  a self?  Create  the  illusion 


131 


that  there  is  no  illusion:  the  entire  universe  is  real, 
and  that  no  other  universe  exists  or  can  be  created. 

On  Earth,  the  propaganda  taught  and  agreed  upon  is  that 
the  gods  are  responsible,  and  that  human  beings  are  not 
responsible.  You  are  taught  that  only  a god  can 
create  universes.  So,  the  responsibility  for  every 
action  is  assigned  to  another  IS-BE  or  god.  Never 
oneself . 

No  human  being  ever  assumes  personal  responsibility  for 
the  fact  that  they,  themselves  --  individually  and 
collectively  --  are  gods.  This  fact  alone  is  the  source 
of  entrapment  for  every  IS-BE.

Chapter  Thirteen 
A Lesson  In  The  Future 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"I  think  this  transcript  speaks  for  itself  also.  1 relayed  Airl's  exact  communication  as 
faithfully  as  possible.  My  superior  officers  became  very  alarmed  about  the  possible 
military  implications  of  what  Airl  said  in  this  interview." 

(OFFICIAL  TRANSCRIPT  OF  INTERVIEW) 

TOP  SECRET 

Official  Transcript  of  the  U.S.  Army  Air  Force 
Roswell  Army  Air  Field,  509th  Bomb  Group 
SUBJECT:  ALIEN  INTERVIEW,  31.  7.  1947,  1st  Session 

" 'It  is  my  personal  belief  that  the  truth  should  not  be 
sacrificed  on  the  altar  of  political,  religious  or 
economic  expediency.  227  (Footnote)  As  an  officer,  pilot  and 
engineer  of  The  Domain  it  is  my  duty  to  protect  the 
greater  good  of  The  Domain  and  its  possessions.  However, 
we  cannot  defend  ourselves  against  forces  of  which  we 
are  not  aware. 

The  isolation  of  Earth  from  the  rest  of  civilization 
prevents  me  from  discussing  many  subjects  with  you  at 
this  time.  Security  and  protocol  prevent  me  from 
revealing  any  but  the  broadest,  general  statements  about 
the  plans  and  activities  of  The  Domain.  However,  I can 
give  you  some  information  that  you  may  find  useful. 

I must  return  to  my  assigned  duties  on  the  "space 
station"  now.  I have  provided  as  much  help  as  I feel 
ethically  able  to  offer,  given  the  requirements  and 
constraints  of  my  duties  as  an  officer,  pilot  and 
engineer  of  The  Domain  Forces.  Therefore,  I will 
depart,  as  an  IS-BE,  from  Earth  within  the  next  24 
hours . 1 


133 


(EDITOR'S  NOTE:  The  following  several  paragraphs  appear  to  be  personal 
comments  made  by  Matilda  to  the  stenographer  regarding  her  interview  with 
Airl.) 

What  this  means  is  that  Airl  will  leave  her  "doll"  with 
us,  as  her  craft  is  damaged  beyond  repair.  We  can 
examine,  dissect  and  study  the  body  at  our  leisure.  She 
does  not  have  any  further  use  for  it,  nor  does  she  have 
any  personal  feelings  or  attachments  to  it  as  others  are 
readily  available  for  her  use. 

Airl  does  not  recommend  that  there  is  any  technology  in 
the  body  that  Earth  scientists  will  find  useful, 
however.  The  technology  of  the  body  is  simple,  yet 
vastly  beyond  the  reckoning  of  our  current  ability  to 
analyze  or  reverse  engineer  any  facet  of  it.  The  body 
is  neither  biological  or  mechanical,  but  a unique 
fabrication  a materials  and  ancient  technologies  not 
found  on  any  Earth-type  planet. 

As  Airl  mentioned  previously,  a very  rigid  and 
distinctive  hierarchy  of  social,  economic  and  cultural 
classes  exists  throughout  The  Domain  which  has  remained 
unvaried  and  inviolate  for  many  millennia.  The  body 
type  and  function  assigned  to  an  IS-BE  officer  varies 
specifically  according  to  the  rank,  class,  longevity, 
training  level,  command  level,  service  record,  and 
meritorious  citations  earned  by  each  individual  IS-BE, 
as  with  any  other  military  insignia. 

The  body  used  by  Airl  is  specifically  designed  for  an 
officer,  pilot  and  engineer  of  her  rank  and  class.  The 
bodies  of  her  companions,  which  were  destroyed  in  the 
crash,  were  not  of  the  same  rank  or  class,  but  of  a 
junior  rank.  Therefore,  the  appearance,  features, 
composition  and  functionality  of  those  bodies  were 
specialized,  and  limited  to  the  requirements  of  their 
duties . 

The  junior  officers  whose  bodies  were  damaged  in  the 
crash  have  left  their  bodies  and  returned  to  their 
duties  on  the  space  station.  The  damage  suffered  by 
their  bodies  was  due  primarily  to  the  fact  that  they 
were  officers  of  lower  rank.  They  used  bodies  which  were 
partially  biological  and  therefore  far  less  durable  and 
resilient  than  hers . 


134 


(EDITOR'S  NOTE:  At  this  point,  the  transcript  appears  to  resume  with 
statements  made  by  Airl.) 

Although  The  Domain  will  not  hesitate  to  destroy  any 
active  vestiges  of  the  "Old  Empire"  operations  where 
ever  they  are  discovered  this  is  not  our  primary  mission 
in  this  galaxy.  I am  sure  that  the  "Old  Empire"  mind- 
control  mechanisms  can  be  deactivated  and  destroyed 
eventually.  However,  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  how 
long  this  make  take,  as  we  do  not  understand  the  extent 
of  this  operation  at  this  time. 

We  do  know  that  the  "Old  Empire"  force  screen  is  vast 
enough  to  cover  this  end  of  the  galaxy,  at  least.  We 
also  know  from  experience  that  each  force  generator  and 
trapping  device  is  very  difficult  to  detect,  locate  and 
destroy.  Also,  it  is  not  the  current  mission  of  The 
Domain  Expeditionary  Force  to  commit  resources  to  this 
endeavor . 

The  eventual  destruction  of  these  devices  may  make  it 
possible  for  your  memory  to  be  restored,  simply  by 
virtue  of  not  having  it  erased  after  each  lifetime. 
Fortunately,  the  memory  of  an  IS-BE  cannot  be 
permanently  erased. 

There  are  many  other  active  space  civilizations  who 
maintain  various  nefarious  operations  in  this  area,  not 
the  least  of  which  is  dumping  unwanted  IS-BEs  on  Earth. 
None  of  these  craft  are  hostile  or  in  violent  opposition 
to  The  Domain  Forces.  They  know  better  than  to 
challenge  us! 

For  the  most  part  The  Domain  ignores  Earth  and  its 
inhabitants,  except  to  ensure  that  the  resources  of  the 
planet  itself  are  not  permanently  spoiled.  This  sector 
of  the  galaxy  was  annexed  by  The  Domain  and  is  the 
possession  of  The  Domain,  to  do  with  or  dispose  of  as  it 
deems  best.  The  moon  of  Earth  and  the  asteroid  belt 
have  become  a permanent  base  of  operations  for  The 
Domain  Forces. 

Needless  to  say,  any  attempt  by  humans  or  others  to 
interfere  in  the  activities  of  The  Domain  in  this  solar 
system  --  even  if  it  were  possible,  which  it  definitely 
is  not  --  will  be  terminated  swiftly.  This  is  not  a 


135 


serious  concern,  as  I mentioned  earlier,  since  homo 
sapiens  cannot  operate  in  open  space. 

Of  course  we  will  continue  with  the  next  steps  of  The 
Domain  Expansion  Plan  which  has  remained  on  schedule  for 
billions  of  years.  Over  the  next  5,000  years  there  will 
be  increasing  traffic  and  activity  of  The  Domain  Forces 
as  we  progress  toward  the  center  of  this  galaxy  and 
beyond  to  spread  our  civilization  through  the  universe. 

If  humanity  is  to  survive,  it  must  cooperate  to  find 
effective  solutions  to  the  difficult  conditions  of  your 
existence  on  Earth.  Humanity  must  rise  above  its  human 
form  and  discover  where  they  are,  and  that  they  are  IS- 
BEs,  and  who  they  really  are  as  IS-BEs  in  order  to 
transcend  the  notion  that  they  are  merely  biological 
bodies.  Once  these  realizations  have  been  made,  it  may 
be  possible  to  escape  your  current  imprisonment. 
Otherwise,  there  will  be  no  future  for  the  IS-BEs  on 
Earth . 

Although  there  are  no  active  battles  or  war  being  waged 
between  The  Domain  and  the  "Old  Empire",  there  still 
exists  the  covert  actions  of  the  "Old  Empire"  taken 
against  Earth  through  their  thought  control  operation. 

When  one  knows  that  these  activities  exist,  the  effects 
can  be  observed  clearly.  The  most  obvious  examples  of 
these  actions  against  the  human  race  can  be  seen  as 
incidents  of  sudden,  inexplicable  behavior.  A very 
recent  instance  of  this  occurred  in  the  United  States 
military  just  before  the  Japanese  attack  on  Pearl 
Harbor.  228  (Footnote) 

Just  three  days  before  the  attack,  someone  in  authority 
ordered  all  the  ships  in  Pearl  Harbor  to  go  into  port 
and  secure  for  inspection.  The  ships  were  ordered  to 
take  all  the  ammunition  out  of  their  magazines,  and 
store  it  below.  On  the  afternoon  before  attack  all  of 
the  admirals  and  generals  were  attending  parties,  even 
though  two  Japanese  aircraft  carriers  were  discovered 
standing  right  off  Pearl  Harbor. 

The  obvious  action  to  take  would  have  been  to  contact 
Pearl  Harbor  by  telephone  to  warn  them  of  the  danger  of 
a fight  starting  and  to  put  the  ammunition  back  and 
order  the  ships  to  get  out  of  port  into  open  sea. 


136 


About  six  hours  before  the  Japanese  attack  began,  a U.S. 
navy  ship  sank  a small  Japanese  submarine  right  outside 
the  harbor.  Instead  of  contacting  Pearl  Harbor  by 
telephone  to  report  the  incident,  a warning  message  was 
put  into  top  secret  code,  which  took  about  two  hours  to 
encode,  and  then  it  took  another  two  hours  to  decode. 

The  word  of  warning  to  Pearl  Harbor  did  not  arrive  until 
10:00  AM  Pearl  Harbor  time,  Sunday  --  two  hours  after 
the  Japanese  attack  destroyed  the  U.S.  fleet. 

How  do  things  like  this  happen? 

If  the  men  who  were  responsible  for  these  obviously 
disastrous  errors  were  stood  up  and  asked  bluntly  to 
justify  their  actions  and  intentions  you  would  find  out 
that  they  were  quite  sincere  in  their  jobs.  Ordinarily, 
they  do  the  very  best  they  can  do  for  people  and 
nations.  However,  all  of  a sudden,  from  some 
completely  unknown  and  undetectable  source  enters  these 
wild,  unexplainable  situations  that  just  'can't  exist'. 

The  "Old  Empire"  thought  control  operation  is  run  by  a 
small  group  of  old  "baboons"  with  very  small  minds. 

They  are  playing  insidious  games  with  no  purpose  and  no 
goal  other  than  to  control  and  destroy  IS-BEs  who  could 
otherwise  manage  themselves  perfectly  well,  if  left 
alone . 

These  types  of  artificially  created  incidents  are  being 
forced  upon  the  human  race  by  the  operators  of  the  mind- 
control  prison  system.  The  prison  guards  will  always 
promote  and  support  oppressive  or  totalitarian 
activities  of  IS-BEs  on  Earth.  Why  not  keep  the  inmates 
fighting  between  themselves?  Why  not  empower  madmen  to 
run  the  governments  of  Earth?  The  men  who  run  the 
criminal  governments  of  Earth  mirror  the  commands  given 
them  by  covert  thought-controllers  of  the  "Old  Empire". 

The  human  race  will  continue  to  shadow  box  with  this  for 
a long  time  --  as  long  as  it  remains  the  human  race. 
Until  then,  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  will  continue  to  live  a 
series  of  consecutive  lives,  over  and  over  and  over. 

The  same  IS-BEs  who  lived  during  the  rise  and  fall  of 
civilizations  in  India,  China,  Mesepotamia,  Greece,  and 
Rome  are  inhabiting  bodies  in  the  present  time  in 
America,  France,  Russia,  Africa,  and  around  the  world. 


137 


In  between  each  lifetime  an  IS-BE  is  sent  back  again,  to 
begin  all  over,  as  though  the  new  life  was  the  only  life 
they  had  ever  lived.  They  begin  anew  in  pain,  in 
misery,  and  mystery. 

Some  IS-BEs  have  been  transported  to  Earth  more  recently 
than  others.  Some  IS-BEs  have  been  on  Earth  only  a few 
hundred  years,  so  they  have  no  personal  experiences  with 
the  earlier  civilizations  of  Earth.  They  have  no 
experiences  of  having  lived  on  Earth,  so  could  not 
remember  a previous  existence  here,  even  if  their  memory 
was  restored.  They  might,  however,  remember  lives  they 
lived  elsewhere  on  other  planets  and  in  other  times. 

Others  have  been  here  since  the  first  days  of  Lemuria. 

In  any  case,  the  IS-BEs  of  Earth  are  here  forever,  until 
they  can  break  the  amnesia  cycle,  conquer  the  electronic 
traps  set  up  by  their  captors  and  free  themselves. 

Because  The  Domain  has  three  thousand  of  their  own  IS- 
BEs  in  captivity  on  Earth  also,  they  have  an  interest  in 
solving  this  problem.  This  problem  has  never  been 
encountered  or  effectively  solved  before  in  the 
universe,  as  far  as  they  know.  They  will  continue  their 
efforts  to  free  those  IS-BEs  from  Earth,  where  and  when 
it  is  possible,  but  it  will  require  time  to  develop  an 
unprecedented  technology  and  the  diligence  to  do  so.' 

(EDITOR'S  NOTE:  The  following  statement  is  a comment  by  Matilda.) 

I think  it  is  Airl's  sincere  desire,  as  one  IS-BE  to 
another,  that  the  rest  of  our  eternity  will  be  as 
pleasant  as  possible."

Chapter  Fourteen 

Airl  Reviews  The  Interview  Transcripts 

(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"Shortly  after  I finished  recounting  the  previous  interview  with  Airl  to  the 
stenographer,  I was  summoned  urgently  to  the  office  of  the  Commanding  Officer  of 
the  base.  I was  escorted  by  four  heavily  armed  military  policemen.  When  I arrived, 

I was  asked  to  be  seated  in  a very  large,  make-shift  office  that  had  been  arranged 
with  a conference  table  and  chairs.  In  the  office  were  several  dignitaries  I had  seen 
at  various  times  in  "the  gallery".  I recognized  a few  of  them  because  they  were 
famous  men. 

I was  introduced  to  these  men,  which  included: 

Army  Air  Force  Secretary  Symington,  229  (Footnote)  General  Nathan  Twining, 

230  (Footnote)  General  Jimmy  Doolittle  , 231  (Footnote)  General  Vandenberg, 

232  (Footnote)  and  General  Norstad. 233  (Footnote) 

Much  to  my  suiprise  Charles  Lindbergh  234  (Footnote)  was  also  in  the  office. 
Secretary  Symington  explained  to  me  that  Mr.  Lindberg  was  there  as  a consultant  to 
the  chief  of  staff  of  the  U.S.  Air  Force.  There  were  several  other  men  present  in  the 
room  who  were  not  introduced.  I assume  these  men  were  personal  aides  to  the 
officers  or  agents  of  some  intelligence  service. 

All  of  this  sudden  attention,  not  only  from  the  Secretary  and  generals,  but  from  such 
world  famous  people  as  Mr.  Lindbergh,  and  General  Doolittle,  made  me  realize  how 
critically  important  my  role  as  an  "interpreter"  for  Airl  was,  as  seen  through  the  eyes 
of  others.  Until  this  time  I was  not  really  aware  of  this  except  in  an  peripheral  sense. 
I suppose  this  was  because  I was  so  absorbed  in  details  of  the  extraordinary  situation. 
Suddenly,  I began  to  grasp  the  magnitude  of  my  role.  I think  that  the  presence  of 
these  men  in  that  meeting  was  intended,  in  part,  to  impress  me  with  this  fact! 

The  Secretary  instructed  me  not  to  be  nervous.  Fie  said  that  I was  not  in  any  trouble. 
He  asked  me  if  I thought  the  alien  would  be  willing  to  answer  a list  of  questions  they 
had  prepared.  He  explained  that  they  were  very  eager  to  discover  many  more  details 
about  Airl,  the  flying  disc.  The  Domain,  and  many  other  subjects  that  Airl  had 
disclosed  in  the  interview  transcripts.  Of  course,  they  were  mainly  interested  in 
questions  relating  to  the  military  security  and  the  construction  of  the  flying  disc. 


139 


I told  them  that  I was  very  sure  that  Airl  had  not  changed  her  mind  about  answering 
questions,  as  nothing  had  changed  that  would  cause  her  to  trust  the  intentions  of  the 
men  in  the  gallery.  I repeated  that  Airl  had  communicated  everything  that  she  was 
willing  and  at  liberty  to  discuss  already. 

In  spite  of  this,  they  insisted  that  I would  ask  Airl  again  if  she  would  answer 
questions.  And,  if  the  answer  was  still  "NO",  I was  to  ask  her  if  she  would  be 
willing  to  read  the  written  copies  of  the  transcripts  of  my  interview  "translations". 
They  wanted  to  know  if  Airl  would  verify  that  my  understanding  and  translation  of 
our  interviews  was  correct. 

Since  Airl  could  read  English  very  fluently,  the  Secretary  asked  if  they  could  be 
allowed  to  observe  for  themselves  while  Airl  read  the  transcripts,  and  verify  that  they 
were  correct  in  writing.  They  wanted  her  to  write  on  a copy  of  the  transcript  whether 
the  "translations"  were  correct,  or  not,  and  make  a note  of  anything  that  was  not 
accurate  on  the  transcripts.  Of  course,  I had  no  choice  but  to  obey  orders  and  1 did 
exactly  what  the  Secretary  requested. 

I was  given  a copy  of  the  transcripts,  with  a signature  page,  which  I was  to  show  to 
Airl.  After  Airl  completed  her  review,  I was  also  directed  to  request  that  Airl  sign 
the  cover-page,  attesting  that  all  of  the  translations  in  the  transcripts  were  correct,  as 
amended  by  her. 

About  an  hour  later  I entered  the  interview  room,  as  instructed,  with  copies  of  the 
transcripts  and  signature  page  to  deliver  to  Airl  as  the  members  of  the  gallery, 
including  the  Generals,  (and  Mr.  Lindberg  also,  I presume)  and  others  watched 
through  the  glass  of  the  gallery  room. 

I went  to  my  usual  seat,  sitting  4 or  5 feet  across  from  Airl.  I presented  the  envelope 
of  transcripts  to  Airl,  and  passed  on  the  instructions  1 had  received  from  the 
Secretary,  telepathically.  Airl  looked  at  me,  and  looked  at  the  envelope,  without 
accepting  it. 

Airl  said:  "If  you  have  read  them  and  they  are  accurate  in  you  own  estimation,  there 
is  no  need  for  me  to  review  them  also.  The  translations  are  correct.  Y ou  can  tell 
your  commander  that  you  have  faithfully  conveyed  a record  of  our  communication." 

I assured  Airl  that  I had  read  them,  and  they  were  exact  recordings  of  everything  I 
told  the  transcription  typist. 

"Will  you  sign  the  cover  page  then?",  I asked. 

"No,  I will  not.",  said  Airl. 


140 


"May  I ask  why  not?",  I said.  1 was  a little  confused  as  to  why  she  wasn't  willing  to 
do  such  a simple  thing. 

"If  your  commander  does  not  trust  his  own  staff  to  make  an  honest  and  accurate 
report  to  him,  what  confidence  will  my  signature  on  the  page  give  him?  Why  will  he 
trust  an  ink  mark  on  a page  made  by  an  officer  of  The  Domain,  if  he  does  not  trust 
his  own,  loyal  staff?" 

I didn't  quite  know  what  to  say  to  that.  I couldn't  argue  with  Airl's  logic,  and  I 
couldn't  force  her  to  sign  the  document  either.  I sat  in  my  chair  for  a minute 
wondering  what  to  do  next.  I thanked  Airl  and  told  her  I needed  to  go  ask  my 
superiors  for  further  instructions.  I placed  the  envelope  of  the  transcripts  in  the 
inside  breast  pocket  of  my  uniform  jacket  and  began  to  rise  from  my  chair. 

At  that  moment  the  door  from  the  gallery  room  slammed  open!  Five  heavily  armed 
military  police  rushed  into  the  room!  A man  in  a white  laboratory  coat  followed 
closely  behind  them.  He  pushed  a small  cart  that  carried  a box-shaped  machine  with 
a lot  of  dials  on  the  face  of  it. 

Before  I could  react,  two  of  the  MPs  grabbed  Airl  and  held  her  firmly  down  in  the 
overstaffed  chair  she  had  been  sitting  on  since  the  first  day  of  our  interviews 
together.  The  two  other  MPs  grabbed  my  shoulders  and  pushed  me  back  down  on 
my  chair  and  held  me  there.  The  other  MP  stood  directly  in  front  of  Airl,  pointing  a 
rifle  directly  at  her,  not  more  than  six  inches  from  her  head. 

The  man  in  the  lab  coat  quickly  wheeled  the  cart  behind  Airl's  chair.  He  deftly 
placed  a circular  head  band  over  Airl's  head  and  turned  back  to  the  machine  on  the 
cart.  Suddenly,  he  shouted  the  word  "clear! " 

The  soldiers  who  were  holding  Airl  released  her.  At  that  instant  I saw  Airl's  body 
stiffen  and  shudder.  This  lasted  for  about  15  or  20  seconds.  The  machine  operator 
turned  a knob  on  the  machine  and  Airl's  body  slumped  back  into  the  chair.  After  a 
few  seconds  he  turned  the  knob  again  and  Airl's  body  stiffened  as  before.  He 
repeated  the  same  process  several  more  times. 

1 sat  in  my  chair,  being  held  down  all  the  while  by  the  MPs.  And  I didn't  understand 
what  was  going  on.  I was  terrified  and  transfixed  by  what  was  happening!  I couldn't 
believe  it! 

After  a few  minutes  several  other  men  wearing  white  lab  coats  entered  the  room. 
They  briefly  examined  Airl  who  was  now  slumped  listlessly  in  the  chair.  They 
mumbled  a few  words  to  each  other.  One  of  the  men  waved  to  the  gallery  window. 

A gurney  was  immediately  rolled  into  the  room  by  two  attendants.  These  men  lifted 
Airl's  limp  body  onto  the  gurney,  strapped  her  down  across  her  chest  and  arms,  and 
rolled  it  out  of  the  room. 


141 


I was  immediately  escorted  out  of  the  interview  room  by  the  MPs  and  taken  directly 
to  my  quarters,  where  I was  locked  in  my  room  with  the  MPs  remaining  at  guard 
outside  the  door. 

After  about  half  an  hour  there  was  a knock  at  the  door  to  my  quarters.  When  I 
opened  it  General  Twining  entered,  together  with  the  machine  operator  in  the  white 
lab  coat.  The  General  introduced  the  man  to  me  as  Dr.  Wilcox.  235  (Footnote).  He 
asked  me  to  accompany  him  and  the  doctor.  We  left  the  room,  followed  by  the  MPs. 
After  several  twists  and  turns  through  the  complex  we  entered  a small  room  where 
Airl  had  been  wheeled  on  the  gurney. 

The  General  told  me  that  Airl  and  The  Domain  were  considered  to  be  a very  great 
military  threat  to  the  United  States.  Airl  had  been  "immobilized"  so  that  she  could 
not  depart  and  return  to  her  base,  as  she  said  she  would  do  in  the  interview.  It  would 
be  a very  grave  risk  to  national  security  to  allow  Airl  to  report  what  she  observed 
during  her  time  at  the  base.  So,  it  had  been  determined  that  decisive  action  was 
needed  to  prevent  this. 

The  General  asked  me  if  I understood  why  this  was  necessary.  I said  that  1 did, 
although  I most  certainly  did  not  agree  that  it  was  the  least  bit  necessary  and  I 
certainly  did  not  agree  with  the  "surprise  attack"  on  Airl  and  me  in  the  interview 
room!  However,  I said  nothing  about  this  to  the  General  because  I was  very  afraid 
of  what  might  happen  to  me  and  Airl  if  I protested. 

Dr.  Wilcox  asked  me  to  approach  the  gurney  and  stand  next  to  Airl.  Airl  lay 
perfectly  still  and  unmoving  on  the  bed.  I could  not  tell  whether  she  was  alive  or 
dead.  Several  other  men  in  white  lab  coats,  who  I assumed  were  also  doctors,  stood 
on  the  opposite  side  of  the  bed.  They  had  connected  two  pieces  of  monitoring 
equipment  to  Airl's  head,  anns  and  chest.  One  of  these  devices  I recognized  from 
my  training  as  a surgical  nurse  as  an  EEG  machine  236  (Footnote)  which  is  used  to 
detect  electrical  activity  in  the  brain.  The  other  device  was  a normal  hospital  room 
vital  signs  monitor,  which  1 knew  would  be  useless  since  Airl  did  not  have  a 
biological  body. 

Dr.  Wilcox  explained  to  me  that  he  had  administered  a series  of  "mild"  electroshocks 
to  Airl  in  an  attempt  to  subdue  her  long  enough  to  allow  the  military  authorities  time 
to  evaluate  the  situation  and  determine  what  to  do  with  Airl. 

He  asked  me  to  attempt  to  communicate  with  Airl,  telepathically. 

I tried  for  several  minutes  but  couldn't  sense  any  communication  from  Airl.  I 
couldn't  even  sense  whether  Airl  was  present  in  the  body  any  longer! 

"I  think  you  must  have  killed  her”,  I said  to  the  doctor. 


142 


Dr.  Wilcox  told  me  that  they  would  keep  Airl  under  observation  and  that  1 would  be 
asked  to  return  later  to  try  to  establish  communication  with  Airl  again."

Chapter  Fifteen 
My  Interrogation 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"The  next  morning  I was  escorted  from  my  quarters,  under  the  guard  of  four  MPs,  to 
the  interview  room.  Airl's  overstuffed  chair  had  been  removed  from  the  room  and 
replaced  by  a small  desk  and  several  office  chairs.  I was  asked  to  sit  down  and  wait 
to  be  interviewed.  After  a few  minutes  Dr.  Wilcox  came  into  the  office  together  with 
another  man  wearing  a plain  business  suit.  The  man  introduced  himself  as  John 
Reid. 237  (Footnote) 

Dr.  Wilcox  explained  to  me  that  Mr.  Reid  had  been  flown  in  from  Chicago  at  the 
request  of  my  superior  officers  to  conduct  a lie  detector  238  (Footnote)  test  on  me! 

My  surprise  at  this  statement  was  so  obvious,  that  Dr.  Wilcox  noticed  that  1 was 
obviously  taken  aback,  and  insulted,  at  the  insinuation  that  1 had  ever  lied  about 
anything! 

Nonetheless,  Mr.  Reid  began  to  set  up  his  polygraph  device  on  the  desk  next  to  my 
chair,  while  Dr.  Wilcox  continued  to  explain,  in  a calm  voice,  that  the  test  was  being 
administered  for  my  own  protection.  Since  all  of  the  interviews  with  the  alien  had 
been  conducted  telepathically,  and  Airl  had  declined  to  read  and  attest  that  the  typed 
transcripts  were  accurate,  that  the  truth  and  accuracy  of  the  statements  contained  in 
the  transcripts  depended  entirely  on  my  personal  word  alone.  There  was  no  other 
reliable  way  to  test  the  accuracy  of  the  transcripts  without  submitting  me  to  a battery 
of  tests  and  psychological  examinations  to  determine,  in  the  opinion  of  "experts", 
meaning  himself,  whether  the  transcripts  should  be  taken  seriously,  or  not. 

The  tone  of  his  voice  said  very  clearly,  "or  dismissed  as  the  delusional  ranting  of  a 
mere  woman!" 

Mr.  Reid  proceeded  to  strap  a rubber  tube  around  my  chest,  as  well  as  an  ordinary 
blood-pressure  cuff  around  my  upper  arm.  He  then  placed  electrodes  on  the  fingers 
and  surfaces  of  my  hands.  He  explained  that  he  would  be  very  objective  during  the 
interview  because  he  had  been  thoroughly  trained  in  scientific  interrogation.  This 
training  was  supposed  to  make  his  interrogation  free  from  human  error. 


Mr.  Reid  explained  to  me  that,  in  response  to  the  questions  he  and  Dr.  Wilcox  were 
going  to  ask  me,  that  actual  physiological  changes  would  be  transmitted  through  a 
small  panel  unit.  The  readings  would  then  be  tracked  on  moving  graph  paper,  which 
he  placed  beside  the  machine  on  the  desk.  The  parallel  graphs  on  the  paper  would 
then  be  correlated  and  interpreted  by  Mr.  Reid,  with  the  "expert"  assistance  of  Dr. 
Wilcox,  to  detennine  whether  or  not  I was  lying. 

Both  Mr.  Reid  and  Dr.  Wilcox  asked  me  a series  of  innocuous  questions  to  begin, 
which  advanced  into  a more  pointed  interrogation  about  my  interviews  with  Airl. 

Here  is  what  I remember  about  the  questions: 

"What  is  your  name?" 

"Matilda  O'Donnell",  1 replied. 

"What  is  your  date  of  birth?" 

"June  12th,  1924",  I said. 

"What  is  your  age?" 

"Twenty-three". 

"Where  were  you  bom?" 

"Los  Angeles,  California",  I said. 

(And  so  on,  and  so  forth.) 

"Are  you  able  to  communicate  by  telepathy?" 

"No.  I have  never  been  able  to  do  this  with  anyone  except  Airl."  I said. 

"Were  any  of  the  statements  you  made  to  the  stenographer  falsified? 

"No",  I answered. 

"Have  you  intentionally  or  unintentionally  imagined  or  fabricated  any  of  the 
communication  you  claimed  to  have  had  with  the  alien?" 

"No,  of  course  not",  I said. 

"Are  you  intentionally  attempting  to  deceive  anyone?” 

"No." 


145 


"Are  you  attempting  to  obstruct  this  test?" 

"No.” 

"What  color  are  your  eyes?" 

"Blue". 

"Are  you  a Catholic?" 

"Yes." 

"Would  you  tell  the  same  stories  to  your  parish  priest  in  a Catholic  church 
confessional  that  you  told  to  the  stenographer  here  at  the  base?" 

"Yes." 

"Are  you  trying  to  hide  anything  from  us?" 

"No.  Nothing." 

"Do  you  believe  everything  the  alien  communicated  to  you?" 

"Yes." 

"Do  you  consider  yourself  to  be  a gullible  person?" 

"No.” 

The  questions  continued  in  this  manner  for  more  than  an  hour.  Finally,  1 was 
unhooked  from  the  polygraph  machine  and  allowed  to  return  to  my  quarters,  still 
under  guard  by  the  MPs. 

Later  in  the  afternoon  I returned  to  the  interview  room.  This  time  the  desk  was 
replaced  by  a hospital  gurney.  Dr.  Wilcox  was  accompanied  by  a staff  nurse  this 
time.  He  asked  me  to  lie  down  on  the  gurney.  He  said  that  he  had  been  requested  to 
ask  me  the  same  series  of  questions  that  I answered  for  the  lie  detector  test. 

This  time,  however,  I would  respond  to  the  questions  under  the  influence  of  a "truth 
serum”,  239  (Footnote)  known  as  sodium  pentothal.  As  a trained  surgical  nurse,  I was 
familiar  with  this  barbiturate  drug  as  it  was  sometimes  used  as  an  anesthetic. 

Dr.  Wilcox  asked  me  if  I had  any  objection  to  submitting  to  such  a test.  I told  him 
that  I had  nothing  to  hide.  I cannot  recall  anything  about  this  interview.  I assumed 
that  when  I finished  answering  the  questions  I was  escorted  back  to  my  room  by  the 


146 


MPs,  with  their  assistance  this  time,  as  I was  too  wobbly  and  woozy  from  the  drug  to 
navigate  by  myself.  However,  1 had  a very  peaceful  sleep  that  night. 

Apparently  neither  of  these  interrogations  yielded  any  suspicious  results  as  I was  not 
asked  any  more  questions  after  that.  Thankfully,  I was  left  alone  during  the  rest  of 
my  time  at  the  base."

Chapter  Sixteen 
Airl  Departs 


(MATILDA  O'DONNELL  MACELROY  PERSONAL  NOTE) 

"I  remained  at  the  base,  mostly  confined  to  my  quarters,  for  another  3 weeks 
after  Airl  had  been  "incapacitated"  by  Dr.  Wilcox.  Once  a day  I was  escorted  to 
the  room  where  Airl  lay  on  the  bed  under  continued  surveillance  by  Dr.  W ilcox, 
and  others,  I assume.  Each  time  I went  to  the  room,  I was  asked  to  try  to 
communicate  with  Airl  again.  Each  time  there  was  no  response.  This  saddened 
me  a great  deal.  As  the  days  continued  I became  increasing  more  certain  and 
distressed  that  Airl  was  "dead",  if  that  is  the  right  word  for  it. 

Every  day,  I re-read  the  transcripts  of  my  interviews  with  Airl,  searching  for  a 
clue  that  might  remind  me  of  something  or  help  me  in  some  way  to  re-establish 
communication  with  Airl.  I still  had  the  envelope  in  my  possession  with  copies 
of  the  transcripts  that  Airl  was  asked  to  sign.  To  this  day,  I don't  understand 
why  no  one  ever  asked  me  to  return  them.  I suppose  they  forgot  about  the  copy 
of  the  transcripts  in  all  the  excitement.  I did  not  offer  to  return  them.  I kept 
them  concealed  under  the  mattress  of  my  bed  all  the  time  I remained  at  the  base, 
and  have  kept  them  with  me  ever  since  then.  You  will  be  the  first  person  to  see 
these  transcripts. 

Since  Airl's  body  was  not  biological,  the  doctors  could  not  detect  whether  the 
body  was  alive  or  dead  unless  it  moved.  Of  course  I knew  that  if  Airl  was  not 
consciously  animating  the  body  as  an  1S-BE,  the  body  would  not  move. 

I explained  this  to  Dr.  Wilcox.  I explained  this  to  him  several  times.  Each  time 
he  just  gave  me  a patronizing  sort  of  smile,  patted  my  arm,  and  thanked  me  for 
trying  again. 

At  the  end  of  the  third  week  I was  told  by  Dr.  Wilcox  that  my  services  would  no 
longer  be  needed  because  it  had  been  decided  by  the  military  to  move  Airl  to  a 
larger,  more  secure  military  medical  facility  that  was  better  equipped  to  deal 
with  the  situation.  He  didn't  say  anything  about  where  the  facility  was  located. 

That  was  the  last  time  I saw  Airl's  doll  body. 


148 


The  following  day  I received  written  orders,  signed  by  General  Twining.  The 
orders  said  that  I had  completed  my  service  to  the  U.S.  military  and  was 
officially  discharged  from  further  duty  and  that  I would  receive  an  honorable 
discharge  and  a generous  military  pension.  I would  be  also  be  relocated  by  the 
military,  and  given  a new  identity  with  the  appropriate  documents. 

Along  with  the  orders  I received  a document  that  I was  instructed  to  read  and 
sign.  It  was  an  oath  of  secrecy.  The  language  of  the  document  was  full  of 
"legalese",  but  the  point  was  very  clearly  made  that  I was  to  never,  ever  discuss 
anything  whatsoever  with  anyone  whatsoever  about  anything  whatsoever  that  I 
has  seen,  heard  or  experienced  during  my  service  in  the  military  — under  pain  of 
death  as  an  Act  of  Treason  against  the  United  States  of  America! 

As  it  turned  out,  I was  placed  into  a Federal  government  witness  protection 
program  240  (Footnote),  except  that  I would  be  protected  from  the  government  by 
the  government.  In  other  words,  as  long  as  I stayed  quiet  I could  stay  alive! 

The  following  morning  I was  placed  aboard  a small  military  transport  plane  and 
flown  to  a relocation  destination.  After  being  shuttled  to  several  locations  for 
short  periods,  I eventually  I ended  up  in  Glasgow,  Montana  near  Fort  Peck. 

The  night  before  I was  scheduled  to  board  the  transport  plane,  as  1 lay  in  bed 
contemplating  the  whole  affair  and  wondering  what  happened  to  Airl,  and  to  me, 
I suddenly  heard  Airl's  "voice".  I sat  bolt  upright  in  my  bed  and  turned  on  the 
light  on  the  night  stand!  I looked  around  the  room  frantically  for  a few  seconds. 
Then  I realized  that  it  was  Airl,  the  IS-BE.  Her  body  was  not  in  the  room  with 
me,  of  course,  and  it  didn't  need  to  be. 

She  said  "Hello!".  The  tone  of  her  thought  was  plain  and  friendly.  It  was 
unmistakably  Airl.  I did  not  have  the  least  doubt  about  that! 

I thought,  "Airl?  Are  you  still  here?"  She  answered  that  she  was  "here",  but 
not  in  a body  on  Earth.  She  had  returned  to  her  post  at  The  Domain  base  when 
the  doctor  and  MPs  attacked  us  in  the  interview  room.  She  was  pleased  to 
perceive  that  I was  well,  and  that  I was  going  to  be  released  unharmed. 

I wondered  how  she  escaped  from  them.  I was  worried  that  they  might  have 
injured  Airl  by  the  shock  machine.  Airl  said  that  she  was  able  to  leave  the  body 
before  the  shock  was  administered  and  avoided  the  electric  current  running 
through  the  body.  She  wanted  to  let  me  know  that  she  was  safe  and  not  to  worry 
about  her.  I was  very  relieved,  to  say  the  least! 

I asked  Airl  if  I would  every  see  her  again.  Airl  reassured  me  that  we  are  both 
IS-BEs.  We  are  not  a physical  bodies.  Now  that  she  had  located  me  in  space 
and  time  we  would  always  stay  in  communication.  Airl  wished  me  well  and  my 
communication  with  her  ended  for  the  moment." 


149 


Post  Script  from  Mrs.  MacElroy 


EDITOR'  NOTE:  The  following  message  was  enclosed  in  a separate 
envelope  marked  "READ  ME  LAST",  together  with  the  original  letter,  the 
transcripts  and  the  other  notes  of  explanation  I received  in  the  envelope 
from  Mrs.  MacElroy.  This  is  what  the  message  said: 

"The  other  documents  in  this  envelope  are  the  end  of 
the  story,  as  far  as  what  happened  back  in  1947. 
However,  several  months  after  the  government  got  me 
settled  at  my  final  relocation  destination,  I 
continued  my  communication  with  Airl  on  a regular 
basis . 

It  has  been  almost  exactly  40  years  since  the  crash 
at  Roswell.  Since  then  it  has  become  obvious  to  me 
that  I have  been  able  to  communicate  telepathically 
with  Airl  for  one  reason:  I am  one  of  the  3,000 
members  of  the  Lost  Battalion.  At  this  time,  all  of 
the  members  of  the  Lost  Battalion  have  been  located 
on  Earth  as  a result  of  The  Domain  Annunaki  Mission 
and  their  use  of  the  "Tree  of  Life"  detection  device. 

Through  my  communication  with  Airl,  I have  recovered 
some  of  my  memory  of  lives  I've  spent  on  Earth  over 
the  past  8,000  years.  Most  of  these  memories  are  not 
especially  important  compared  to  the  long  backtrack 
of  events,  but  it  has  been  a necessary  stepping  stone 
to  regaining  my  awareness  and  ability  as  an  IS-BE. 

I can  also  remember  some  dim  patches  of  my  life  in 
The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force.  I was  a nurse  there 
too.  For  the  most  part  I've  been  a nurse  over  and 
over  and  over  again  down  through  the  ages.  I stick 
with  being  a nurse  because  it  is  familiar  to  me.  And, 

I enjoy  the  work  of  helping  people,  as  well  as 
members  of  the  race  of  biological  beings  in  The 
Domain  whose  bodies  look  more  like  insects  than 
mammals,  especially  their  hands.  Even  doll  bodies 
need  some  repair  once  in  awhile,  too. 

As  I remember  more  about  my  past,  I realize  that  the 
rest  of  my  life  is  in  the  future.  Eternity  is  not 
just  in  the  past.  Eternity  is  in  the  future.  At 


150 


this  point  I am  still  not  able  to  fully  return  to  The 
Domain.  I am  sentenced  to  eternal  imprisonment,  like 
all  other  IS-BEs  in  the  living  Hell  called  Earth, 
until  we  can  disable  the  "Old  Empire"  force  screens. 

Because  I won't  keep  my  biological  body  much  longer 
now,  I am  intensely  aware  that  very  soon  I will  be 
recycled  through  the  amnesia  process  of  the  "Old 
Empire",  and  stuck  back  into  another  baby  body  to 
start  all  over  again  --  without  any  memory  of  what 
went  before. 

As  you  know,  members  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary 
Force  have  been  working  to  solve  this  problem  for 
thousands  of  years.  Airl  says  that  even  though  The 
Domain  has  located  all  of  the  Lost  Battalion  officers 
and  crew,  the  success  of  freeing  them  depends  on  the 
IS-BEs  who  are  already  on  Earth.  The  Domain  Central 
Command  cannot  authorize  any  personnel  or  resources, 
at  this  time,  to  conduct  a "rescue  mission"  as  this 
in  not  the  primary  mission  of  The  Domain 
Expeditionary  Force  in  this  galaxy. 

So,  if  IS-BEs  on  Earth  are  going  to  escape  from  this 
prison,  it  will  have  to  be  an  "inside  job",  so  to 
speak.  The  inmates  will  have  to  figure  out  how  to 
get  themselves  out.  Various  methods  of  recovering 
the  memory  and  ability  of  IS-BEs  have  been  developed 
over  the  past  10, 000  years  on  Earth,  but  none  have 
proven  to  be  consistently  effective  so  far. 

Airl  mentioned  that  the  most  significant  breakthrough 
was  made  by  Gautama  Siddhartha  about  2,500  years  ago. 
However,  the  original  teachings  and  techniques  taught 
by  The  Buddha  have  been  altered  or  lost  over  the 
millennia  since  then.  The  practical  techniques  of 
his  philosophy  were  perverted  into  robotic  religious 
rituals  by  priests  as  a self-serving  instrument  of 
control  or  slavery. 

However,  another  major  advance  occurred  recently.  An 
acquaintance  of  The  Commanding  Officer  of  The  Domain 
Expeditionary  Force  Space  Station  is  an  IS-BE  who  had 
once  been  an  important  engineer  and  officer  in  the 
"Old  Empire"  Space  Fleet.  He  become  an  "untouchable" 
himself  about  10, 000  years  ago  and  was  sentenced  to 
Earth  for  leading  a mutiny  against  the  oppressive 


151 


regime  of  the  "Old  Empire" . The  engineer  was  trained 
in  Advanced  Scientific  Improvisation  Theory  thousands 
of  years  ago.  This  man  has  applied  his  expertise  to 
helping  The  Domain  solve  the  apparently  unsolvable 
problem  of  rescuing  the  members  of  the  Lost 
Battalion,  as  well  as  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth. 

Careful  observation  and  experimental  analysis  of  the 
mechanics  of  memory  in  IS-BEs  by  he  and  his  wife,  who 
assisted  him,  led  to  the  realization  that  IS-BEs  can 
recover  from  amnesia  and  also  regain  lost  abilities. 
Together  they  discovered  and  developed  effective 
methods  that  they  used  to  rehabilitate  their  own 
memories.  They  eventually  codified  their  methods  so 
that  others  can  safely  be  trained  to  apply  them  to 
themselves  and  others,  without  detection  by  the  "Old 
Empire"  thought  control  operators. 

Their  research  also  revealed  that  IS-BEs  can  occupy 
and  operate  more  than  one  body  at  the  same  time  -- 
a fact  that  previously  was  thought  to  be  uniquely 
limited  to  officers  of  The  Domain. 

One  example  of  this  fact  is  that  the  engineer,  in  a 
previous  lifetime  on  Earth,  was  Suleiman  The 
Magnificent  241  (Footnote)  . His  assistant  was  a harem  girl 
who  rose  up  from  slavery  to  become  his  wife  and  rule 
the  Ottoman  empire  with  him.  242  (Footnote)  Simultaneously, 
she  inhabited  another  body  and  ruled  her  own  empire 
as  Queen  Elizabeth.  243  (Footnote)  As  the  Queen  of  England, 
she  never  married,  because  she  was  already  married  to 
the  Sultan  of  the  Ottoman  Empire! 

In  a later  life  he  was  incarnated  as  Cecil  Rhodes. 

244  (Footnote).  During  his  life  as  Rhodes  she  was,  again, 
a princess,  this  time  from  Poland.  245  (Footnote)  As  such, 
she  pursued  Rhodes  unsuccessfully  toward  the  end  of 
his  life.  However,  in  their  next  incarnation  they  met 
again,  were  married,  had  a family,  and  again,  worked 
together  successfully  all  of  their  lives. 

Several  other  notable  examples  of  this  phenomena  were 
observed.  For  example,  the  process  of  refining  steel 
was  invented  by  the  same  IS-BE  who  inhabited  two 
bodies  simultaneously.  One  was  named  Kelly  246  (Footnote) 
who  lived  in  Kentucky,  and  the  other  was  a man  named 


152 


Bessemer  247  (Footnote)  who  lived  in  England.  They  both 
conceived  the  same  process  at  the  same  time. 

Another  example  is  Alexander  Graham  Bell  248  (Footnote)  the 
inventor  of  the  telephone,  which  was  invented  by 
several  others  at  the  same  time,  including  Elisha 
Gray.  249  (Footnote)  The  telephone  was  conceived 
concurrently  in  several  locations  around  the  world 
all  at  once.  This  was  a single  IS-BE  of  such 
tremendous  energy  and  ability  that  he  was  able  to 
operate  several  bodies  in  several  different  locations 
while  conducting  complex  research  work! 

Thanks  to  these  revelations.  The  Domain  has  been  able 
to  return  some  of  IS-BEs  of  the  Lost  Battalion  to 
active  duty  on  a limited,  part-time  basis.  For 
example,  two  young  girls  who  occupy  biological  bodies 
on  Earth  are  now,  at  the  same  time,  working  as  active 
members  of  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  on  the 
asteroid  space  station  as  operators  of  a 
communication  switchboard.  These  operators  relay 
messages  between  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force  and 
The  Domain  Command  Headquarters. 

Recently,  I,  myself  have  been  able  to  resume  some  of 
my  own  duties  for  The  Domain  Expeditionary  Force 
while  continuing  to  live  on  Earth.  This  is  not  an 
easy  task  however,  and  can  only  be  done  while  my 
biological  body  is  sleeping. 

It  makes  me  very,  very  happy  to  know  that  we  may  not 
have  to  stay  on  Earth  forever!  There  is  hope  of 
escape,  not  just  for  the  Lost  Battalion,  but  for  many 
other  IS-BEs  on  Earth. 

However,  all  IS-BEs  could  be  helped  to  become  more 
aware  of  the  actual  situation  on  Earth  through  the 
information  in  this  envelope.  This  is  why  I sent 
these  letters  and  transcripts  to  you.  I want  you  to 
get  these  documents  published.  I want  IS-BEs  on 
Earth  to  have  a chance  to  find  out  what  is  really 
happening  on  Earth. 

Most  people  will  not  believe  any  of  it,  I'm  sure.  It 
seems  too  incredible.  No  "reasonable"  person  would 
ever  believe  a word  of  it.  However,  it  only  seems 
"incredible"  to  an  IS-BE  whose  memory  has  been  erased 


153 


and  replaced  with  false  information  inside  the 
electronically  controlled  illusion  of  a prison 
planet.  We  must  not  allow  the  apparent  incredibility 
of  our  situation  to  prevent  us  from  confronting  the 
reality  of  it. 

Frankly,  "reasons"  have  nothing  to  do  with  reality. 
There  are  no  reasons.  Things  are  what  they  are.  If 
we  don't  face  the  facts  of  our  situation,  we're  going 
to  stay  under  the  thumb  of  the  "Old  Empire"  forever! 
The  biggest  weapon  the  "Old  Empire"  has  left  now  is 
our  ignorance  of  what  they  are  doing  to  all  the  IS- 
BEs  on  Earth.  Disbelief  and  secrecy  are  the  most 
effective  weapons  they  have! 

The  government  agencies  that  classified  the  enclosed 
transcripts  as  "TOP  SECRET"  are  run  by  IS-BEs  who  are 
nothing  more  than  mindless  automatons  covertly 
ordered  about  through  hypnotic  commands  given  by  the 
"Old  Empire"  prison  operators.  They  are  the 
unknowing  slaves  of  unseen  slave  masters  --  and  all 
the  more  enslaved  by  their  willingness  to  be  slaves. 

Most  of  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  are  good,  honest,  able 
beings:  artists,  managers,  geniuses,  free  thinkers 
and  revolutionaries  who  have  harmed  no  one,  really. 
They  are  no  threat  to  anyone  except  the  criminals  who 
have  imprisoned  them. 

They  must  find  out  about  the  "Old  Empire"  amnesia  and 
hypnosis  operation.  They  must  remember  their  own  past 
lives.  The  only  way  this  will  ever  happen  is  to 
communicate,  coordinate  and  fight  back.  We  have  to 
tell  other  people  and  they  have  to  discuss  it  openly 
with  each  other.  Communication  is  the  only  effective 
weapon  against  secrecy  and  oppression. 

This  is  why  I am  asking  you  to  tell  this  story. 

Please  share  these  transcripts  with  as  many  people  as 
you  can.  If  the  people  of  Earth  are  told  what  is 
really  going  on  here,  perhaps  they  will  begin  to 
remember  who  they  are,  and  where  they  came  from. 

For  now,  we  can  begin  our  own  release  and  rescue  with 
words.  We  can  be  free  again.  We  can  be  ourselves 
again.  Perhaps  I will  meet  you  in  person,  with  or 
without  a body,  somewhere  in  our  Eternal  Future.

1 "..."War  of  the  Worlds,  and  The  Invasion  from  Mars"..." 

"...  the  day  before  Halloween,  on  Oct.  30,  1938,  when  millions  of  Americans  tuned  in  to  a 
popular  radio  program  that  featured  plays  directed  by,  and  often  starring,  Orson  Welles.  The 
performance  that  evening  was  an  adaptation  of  the  science  fiction  novel  The  War  of  the 
Worlds,  about  a Martian  invasion  of  the  Earth.  But  in  adapting  the  book  for  a radio  play, 
Welles  made  an  important  change:  under  his  direction  the  play  was  written  and  performed 
so  it  would  sound  like  a news  broadcast  about  an  invasion  from  Mars,  a technique  that, 
presumably,  was  intended  to  heighten  the  dramatic  effect. 

As  the  play  unfolded,  dance  music  was  interrupted  a number  of  times  by  fake  news  bulletins 
reporting  that  a "huge  flaming  object"  had  dropped  on  a farm  near  Grovers  Mill,  New  Jersey. 
As  members  of  the  audience  sat  on  the  edge  of  their  collective  seat,  actors  playing  news 
announcers,  officials  and  other  roles  one  would  expect  to  hear  in  a news  report,  described 
the  landing  of  an  invasion  force  from  Mars  and  the  destruction  of  the  United  States.  The 
broadcast  also  contained  a number  of  explanations  that  it  was  all  a radio  play,  but  if 
members  of  the  audience  missed  a brief  explanation  at  the  beginning,  the  next  one  didn't 
arrive  until  40  minutes  into  the  program. 

Atone  point  in  the  broadcast,  an  actor  in  a studio,  playing  a newscaster  in  the  field, 
described  the  emergence  of  one  of  the  aliens  from  its  spacecraft.  " Good  heavens, 
something's  wriggling  out  of  the  shadow  like  a gray  snake, " he  said,  in  an  appropriately 
dramatic  tone  of  voice.  "Now  it's  another  one,  and  another.  They  look  like  tentacles  to  me. 
There,  I can  see  the  thing's  body.  It's  large  as  a bear  and  it  glistens  like  wet  leather.  But  that 
face.  It.,  .it's  indescribable.  I can  hardly  force  myself  to  keep  looking  at  it.  The  eyes  are  black 
and  gleam  like  a serpent.  The  mouth  is  V-shaped  with  saliva  dripping  from  its  rimless  lips 
that  seem  to  quiver  and  pulsate. ...The  thing  is  raising  up.  The  crowd  falls  back.  They've  seen 
enough.  This  is  the  most  extraordinary  experience.  I can't  find  words.  I'm  pulling  this 
microphone  with  me  as  I talk.  I'll  have  to  stop  the  description  until  I've  taken  a new  position. 
Hold  on,  will  you  please,  I'll  be  back  in  a minute. " 

As  it  listened  to  this  simulation  of  a news  broadcast  the  audience  concluded  that  it  was 
hearing  an  actual  news  account  of  an  invasion  from  Mars.  People  packed  the  roads, 
hid  in  cellars,  loaded  guns,  even  wrapped  their  heads  in  wet  towels  as  protection  from 
Martian  poison  gas,  in  an  attempt  to  defend  themselves  against  aliens,  oblivious  to 
the  fact  that  they  were  acting  out  the  role  of  the  panic-stricken  public  that  actually 
belonged  in  a radio  play. 

News  of  the  panic  (which  was  conveyed  via  genuine  news  reports)  quickly  generated 
a national  scandal.  There  were  calls,  which  never  went  anywhere,  for  government 
regulations  of  broadcasting  to  ensure  that  a similar  incident  wouldn't  happen  again. 

In  a prescient  column,  in  the  New  York  Tribune,  Dorothy  Thompson  foresaw  that  the 
broadcast  revealed  the  way  politicians  could  use  the  power  of  mass  communications 
to  create  theatrical  illusions,  to  manipulate  the  public. "

2 "...Majestic-1 2 documents." 


158 


"Majestic  12"  or  "MJ-12".  (NOTE:  All  of  the  following  information  and/or  assertions 
concerning  the  MJ-12  documents  are  those  of  the  authors  of  the  following  website: 
http:/ /www.  majesticdocuments.  com) 

"Operation  Majestic-12  was  established  by  special  classified  presidential  order  on 
September  24,  1947  at  the  recommendation  of  Secretary  of  Defense  James  Forrestal  and 
Dr.  Vannevar  Bush,  Chairman  of  the  Joint  Research  and  Development  Board.  The  goal  of 
the  group  was  to  exploit  everything  they  could  from  recovered  alien  technology. 

Buried  in  a super-secret  "MAJIC  EYES  ONLY"  classification  that  was  above  TOP  SECRET 
— long  before  the  modem  top  secret  codeword  special  access  programs  of  today  — Major 
General  Leslie  R.  Groves  (who  commanded  the  Manhattan  Project  to  deliver  the  atomic 
bomb)  kept  just  one  copy  of  the  details  of  crashed  alien  technology  in  his  safe  in 
Washington,  D.C. 

Ambitious,  elite  scientists  such  as  Vannevar  Bush,  Albert  Einstein,  and  Robert 
Oppenheimer,  and  career  military  people  such  as  Hoyt  Vandenberg,  Roscoe  Hillenkoetter, 
Leslie  Groves,  and  George  Marshall,  along  with  a select  cast  of  other  experts,  feverishly  and 
secretively  labored  to  understand  the  alien  agenda,  technology,  and  their  implications. 

Einstein  and  Oppenheimer  were  called  in  to  give  their  opinion,  drafting  a six-page  paper 
titled  “Relationships  With  Inhabitants  Of  Celestial  Bodies. " They  provided  prophetic  insight 
into  our  modern  nuclear  strategies  and  satellites,  and  expressed  agitated  urgency  that  an 
agreement  be  reached  with  the  President  so  that  scientists  could  proceed  to  study  the  alien 
technology. 

The  extraordinary  recovery  of  fallen  airborne  objects  in  the  state  of  New  Mexico,  between 
July  4-  July  6,  1947,  caused  the  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  Army  Air  Force’s  Interplanetary 
Phenomena  Unit,  Scientific  and  Technical  Branch,  Counterintelligence  Directorate  to  initiate 
a thorough  investigation.  The  special  unit  was  formed  in  1942  in  response  to  two  crashes  in 
the  Los  Angeles  area  in  late  February  1942.  The  draft  summary  report  begins  “At  2332  MST, 
3 July  47,  radar  stations  in  east  Texas  and  White  Sands  Proving  Ground,  N.M.  tracked  two 
unidentified  aircraft  until  they  both  dropped  off  radar.  Two  crash  sites  have  been  located 
close  to  the  WSPG.  Site  LZ-1  was  located  at  a ranch  near  Corona,  Approx.  75  miles 
northwest  of  the  town  of  Roswell.  Site  LZ-2  was  located  approx.  20  miles  southeast  of  the 
town  of  Socorro,  at  latitude  33-40-31  and  longitude  106-28-29". 

The  first-ever-known  UFO  crash  retrieval  case  occurred  in  1941  in  Cape  Girardeau, 

Missouri.  This  crash  kicked  off  early  reverse-engineering  work,  but  it  did  not  create  a unified 
intelligence  effort  to  exploit  possible  technological  gains  apart  from  the  Manhattan  Project 
uses. 

The  debris  from  the  primary  field  of  the  1947  crash  20  miles  southeast  of  Socorro,  New 
Mexico  was  called  ULAT-1  (Unidentified  Lenticular  Aerodyne  Technology),  and  it  excited 
metallurgists  with  its  unheard-of  tensile  and  shear  strengths.  The  fusion  nuclear  (called 
neutronic  at  that  time)  engine  used  heavy  water  and  deuterium  with  an  oddly  arranged 
series  of  coils,  magnets,  and  electrodes  — descriptions  that  resemble  the  “cold  fusion  " 
studies  of  today. 

Harry  Truman  kept  the  technical  briefing  documents  of  September  24,  1947  for  further  study, 
pondering  the  challenges  of  creating  and  funding  a secret  organization  before  the  CIA 


159 


existed  (although  the  Central  Intelligence  Group  or  CIG  did  exist)  and  before  there  was  a 
legal  procedure  of  funding  non-war  operations. 

In  April  1 954,  a group  of  senior  officers  of  the  U.  S.  intelligence  community  and  the  Armed 
Forces  gathered  for  one  of  the  most  secret  and  sensational  briefings  in  history.  The  subject 
was  Unidentified  Flying  Objects  — not  just  a discussion  of  sightings,  but  how  to  recover 
crashed  UFOs,  where  to  ship  the  parts,  and  how  to  deal  with  the  occupants.  For  example,  in 
the  “Special  Operations  Manual  (SOMI-OI)  Extraterrestrial  Entities  Technology  Recovery 
and  Disposal," MAJESTIC-1 2 “red  teams" mapped  out  UFO  crash  retrieval  scenarios  with 
special  attention  given  to  press  blackouts,  body  packaging,  and  live  alien  transport,  isolation, 
and  custody. 

Majestic  Documents.com  is  not  another  rehash  of  the  famous  Roswell  story  — it  contains 
over  500  pages  (and  growing)  of  newly  surfaced  documents,  many  of  which  date  years 
before  the  Roswell  crash.  Unlike  other  websites,  a central  theme  of  validating  authenticity  is 
woven  throughout  the  site  while  telling  the  exciting  story  of  the  U.S.  government's  work  on 
retrieval  and  analysis  of  extraterrestrial  hardware  and  alien  life  forms  from  1941  to  present."

3 "Like  Ripley  said..." 

Robert  LeRoy  Ripley  (December  25,  1893  - May  27,  1949)  was  a cartoonist,  entrepreneur, 
and  amateur  anthropologist  who  created  the  world  famous  Ripley's  Believe  It  or  Not! 
newspaper  panel  series,  featuring  odd  but  true  facts  from  around  the  world.  Subjects 
covered  in  Ripley's  cartoons  and  text  ranged  from  sports  feats  to  little  known  facts  about 
unusual  and  exotic  sites,  but  what  ensured  the  concept's  popularity  may  have  been  that 
Ripley  also  included  items  submitted  by  readers,  who  supplied  photographs  of  a wide  variety 
of  small  town  American  trivia,  ranging  from  unusually  shaped  vegetables  to  oddly  marked 
domestic  animals,  all  documented  by  photographs  and  then  engagingly  depicted  by  Ripley's 
prolific  pen. "

4 "...Voltaire..." 

"Fransois-Marie  Arouet  (21  November  1694  - 30  May  1778),  better  known  by  the  pen 
name  Voltaire,  was  a French  Enlightenment  writer,  essayist,  deist  and  philosopher  known 
for  his  wit,  philosophical  sport,  and  defense  of  civil  liberties,  including  freedom  of  religion  and 
the  right  to  a fair  trial.  He  was  an  outspoken  supporter  of  social  reform  despite  strict 
censorship  laws  and  harsh  penalties  for  those  who  broke  them.  A satirical  polemicist,  he 
frequently  made  use  of  his  works  to  criticize  Christian  Church  dogma  and  the  French 
institutions  of  his  day.  Many  of  Voltaire's  works  and  ideas  would  influence  important  thinkers 
of  both  the  American  and  French  Revolutions."

5 "...personal  Hell..." 

"The  modern  English  word  Hell  is  derived  from  Old  English  hel,  helle  (about  725  AD)  and 
ultimately  from  Proto-Germanic  halja,  meaning  "one  who  covers  up  or  hides  something".

6 "...Top  Secret"... 

"Top  Secret  is  the  highest  acknowledged  level  of  classified  information  in  many  countries, 
where  it  is  defined  as  material  that  would  cause  "exceptionally  grave  damage " to  national 
security  if  disclosed.  The  term  top  secret  can  be  applied  to  information,  actions, 
organizations,  projects,  etc.  of  which  any  knowledge  is  highly  restricted. "

7 "...  self-administered  euthanasia...." 

"The  term  euthanasia  comes  from  the  greek  words  "eu"  and  "thanatos"  which  combined 
means  “well-death" or  "dying  well".  Hippocrates  mentions  euthanasia  in  the  Hippocratic 
Oath,  which  was  written  between  400  and  300  B.C.  The  ancient  Greeks  and  Romans 
generally  did  not  believe  that  life  needed  to  be  preserved  at  any  cost  and  were,  in 
consequence,  tolerant  of  suicide  in  cases  where  no  relief  could  be  offered  to  the  dying  or,  in 
the  case  of  the  Stoics  and  Epicureans,  where  a person  no  longer  cared  for  his  life."

8 "...County  Meath,  Ireland..." 

"Meath  (the  "middle")  was  formed  from  the  eastern  part  of  the  province  of  Midhe  - see  Kings 
of  Mide  - but  now  forms  part  of  Leinster.  Historically  this  province  of  Meath  included  all  of  the 
current  county  as  well  as  all  of  Westmeath  and  parts  of  Cavan,  Longford,  Louth,  Offaly, 
Dublin  and  Kildare.  The  High  King  of  Ireland  sat  at  Tara  in  Meath.  The  archaeological 
complex  of  Bril  na  Boinne  is  5,000  years  old  and  includes  the  burial  sites  of  Newgrange, 
Knowth  and  Dowth,  in  the  northeast  of  the  county. "

9 "...The  Great  Mound"  at  Knowth,  and  Dowth,  the  "Fairy  Mound  of  Darkness".  These 
are  sacred  "cairns"  or  massive  stone  structures  that  were  erected  about  3,700  BCE 
and  engraved  with  indecipherable  hieroglyphs..." 

"The  astronomical  significance  of  Kerbstone  51,  the  "Stone  of  the  Seven  Suns",  at  Dowth: 

If  moonlight  were  to  shine  on  the  back  stone  of  the  eastern  passage  at  Knowth,  it  would 
illuminate  a map  of  the  moon  itself,  the  world's  oldest  known  depiction  of  the  lunar  maria  *. 
The  carvings  are  about  4800  years  old.  The  next  oldest  depiction  of  the  maria  known  to 
science  is  that  by  Leonardo  da  Vinci  in  about  1505  AD. 

* Lunar  maria  (singular:  mare,  two  syllables)  are  large,  dark,  basaltic  plains  on  Earth's 
Moon,  formed  by  ancient  volcanic  eruptions.  They  were  dubbed  maria,  Latin  for  "seas",  by 
early  astronomers  who  mistook  them  for  actual  seas.  They  are  less  reflective  than  the 
"highlands"  as  a result  of  their  iron-rich  compositions,  and  hence  appear  dark  to  the  naked 
eye.  The  maria  cover  about  1 6%  of  the  lunar  surface,  mostly  on  the  near-side  visible  from 
Earth.  The  few  maria  on  the  far-side  are  much  smaller,  residing  mostly  in  very  large  craters 
where  only  a small  amount  of  flooding  occurred.  - Reference:  Wikipedia 

The  mythology  about  Dowth  speaks  of  a bull  and  seven  cows,  it  seems  likely  that  the  site 
has  some  connection  with  the  constellation  of  Taurus,  the  Bull,  which  contains  the  open 


161 


cluster  the  Pleiades,  otherwise  known  as  "The  Seven  Sisters".  This  constellation  was  very 
important  around  the  year  3000BC,  when  the  Boyne  Valley  mounds  were  being  constructed, 
as  it  contained  the  Sun  on  the  Spring  Equinox,  that  very  important  moment  of  the  year  when 
the  Sun's  path  along  the  ecliptic  crossed  the  celestial  equator  heading  northwards.  It  is  the 
Sun's  position  among  the  zodiac  stars  at  this  time  which  determines  the  current  'age'-  i.e. 
the  "Age  of  Taurus". 

Another  interesting  phenomenon  which  occurs  at  this  time  is  what  is  known  to  astronomers 
as  a 'heliacal  rising'  of  the  Pleiades.  This  happens  when  the  stars  in  question  rise  at  the 
eastern  horizon  but  are  quickly  lost  in  the  glare  of  the  rising  sun.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that 
the  Egyptians,  and  the  Dogon  tribe  in  Africa,  (See:  The  Oz  Factors)  among  others,  used  the 
same  Dowth-like  'sun-wheel'  symbols  to  signify  a heliacal  rising. 

If  these  'sun-wheel'  symbols  do  represent  the  heliacal  rising  of  the  Pleiades,  it  tells  us 
something  very  significant  about  the  Neolithic  people  - they  were  aware  of  the  great  cycle  of 
precession,  the  slow  wobble  of  the  Earth's  axis  which  causes  the  celestial  pole  to  shift  over 
time,  resulting  in  the  Vernal  Equinox  point,  that  place  where  the  Sun  crosses  the  celestial 
equator,  moving  backwards,  or  westwards,  through  the  Zodiac  over  a huge  25,800-year 
period.  This  Vernal  point  moves  just  one  degree  (about  two  widths  of  the  full  moon)  every  72 
years,  and  spends  on  average  2,150  years  in  each  of  the  twelve  constellations  of  the 
Zodiac. "

10  "...In  ancient  Irish  religion  and  mythology  this  (Tara)  was  the  sacred  place  of 
dwelling  for  the  "gods"..." 

" Sitting  on  top  of  the  King's  Seat  (Forradh)  of  Temair  is  the  most  famous  of  Tara's 
monuments  - Ireland's  ancient  coronation  stone  - the  Lia  Fail  or  "Stone  of  Destiny",  which 
was  brought  here  according  to  mythology  by  the  godlike  people,  the  Tuatha  De  Danann,  as 
one  of  their  sacred  objects.  It  was  said  to  roar  when  touched  by  the  rightful  king  of  Tara. 

A new  theory  suggests  Tara  was  the  ancient  capital  of  the  lost  kingdom  of  Atlantis.  The 
mythical  land  of  Atlantis  was  Ireland,  according  to  a new  book.  There  are  a large  number  of 
monuments  and  earthen  structures  on  the  Hill  of  Tara.  The  earliest  settlement  at  the  site  was 
in  the  Neolithic,  and  the  Mound  of  the  Hostages  was  constructed  in  or  around  2500BC. "

11  "...the  Military  - Industrial  Complex  that  President  Eisenhower  warned  us  about  in 
his  farewell  address..." 

"A  military-industrial  complex  (MIC)  is  composed  of  a nation's  armed  forces,  its  suppliers 
of  weapons  systems,  supplies  and  services,  and  its  civil  government. 

The  term  "MIC"  is  most  often  used  in  reference  to  the  United  States,  where  it  gained 
popularity  after  its  use  in  the  farewell  address  of  President  Dwight  D.  Eisenhower.  In  the 
penultimate  draft  of  the  address,  Eisenhower  initially  used  the  term  militarv-industrial- 
conqressional  complex,  and  thus  indicated  the  essential  role  that  the  United  States 
Congress  plays  in  the  propagation  of  the  military  industry.  But,  it  is  said,  that  the  president 


162 


chose  to  strike  the  word  congressional  in  order  to  placate  members  of  the  legislative  branch 
of  the  federal  government. 

It  is  sometimes  used  more  broadly  to  include  the  entire  network  of  contracts  and  flows  of 
money  and  resources  among  individuals  as  well  as  institutions  of  the  defense  contractors, 
The  Pentagon,  and  the  Congress  and  Executive  branch.  This  sector  is  intrinsically  prone  to 
Principal-agent  problem,  moral  hazard,  and  rent  seeking.  Cases  of  political  corruption  have 
also  surfaced  with  regularity. 

President  of  the  United  States  (and  former  General  of  the  Army)  Dwight  D.  Eisenhower 
later  used  the  term  in  his  Farewell  Address  to  the  Nation  on  January  17,  1961: 

"A  vital  element  in  keeping  the  peace  is  our  military  establishment.  Our  arms  must  be 
mighty,  ready  for  instant  action,  so  that  no  potential  aggressor  may  be  tempted  to  risk  his 
own  destruction... 

This  conjunction  of  an  immense  military  establishment  and  a large  arms  industry  is  new  in 
the  American  experience.  The  total  influence  — economic,  political,  even  spiritual  — is  felt  in 
every  city,  every  statehouse,  every  office  of  the  federal  government.  We  recognize  the 
imperative  need  for  this  development.  Yet  we  must  not  fail  to  comprehend  its  grave 
implications.  Our  toil,  resources  and  livelihood  are  all  involved;  so  is  the  very  structure  of  our 
society. 

In  the  councils  of  government,  we  must  guard  against  the  acquisition  of  unwarranted 
influence,  whether  sought  or  unsought,  by  the  military-industrial  complex.  The  potential  for 
the  disastrous  rise  of  misplaced  power  exists  and  will  persist. 

We  must  never  let  the  weight  of  this  combination  endanger  our  liberties  or  democratic 
processes.  We  should  take  nothing  for  granted.  Only  an  alert  and  knowledgeable  citizenry 
can  compel  the  proper  meshing  of  the  huge  industrial  and  military  machinery  of  defense  with 
our  peaceful  methods  and  goals  so  that  security  and  liberty  may  prosper  together. "

"When  we  look  at  the  contents  of  the  message  in  conjunction  with  witness  testimony,  the 
evidence  clearly  points  to  an  actual  flying  saucer  crash,  as  astonishing  as  this  conclusion 
may  seem  to  many. 

This  testimony  is  gone  into  in  much  greater  detail  elsewhere  in  this  Website.  It  consists 
primarily  of  numerous  and  consistent  descriptions  of  highly  anomalous  debris  and  to  a 
lesser  extent  of  alien  bodies.  Here  are  a few  key  witnesses: 

Major  Jesse  Marcel:  Then  the  intelligence  chief  at  Roswell  and  the  first  to  investigate 
sheep  rancher  Mack  Brazel's  find,  Marcel  confirmed  in  a number  of  interviews  30  years  later 
that  the  crash  debris  had  highly  anomalous  properties  and  was  "not  of  this  Earth. " Marcel 
also  spoke  of  Ramey's  weather  balloon  cover-up  at  Fort  Worth.  Note  particularly  highly 
laudatory  post-Roswell  evaluations  by  base  commander  Col.  William  Blanchard,  Gen. 
Ramey,  and  future  USAF  Chief  of  Staff  Col.  John  Ryan. 

Lt.  Walter  Haut:  Former  Roswell  base  public  information  officer  who  issued  the  base  press 
release.  Haut's  "deathbed"  sealed  affidavit  has  just  been  published.  In  it  he  confesses  to 
seeing  the  spacecraft  and  bodies  in  base  Hangar  84/P-3  and  tells  us  the  mysterious  press 
release  was  General  Ramey's  idea  to  divert  press  and  public  attention  away  from  the  closer 
and  more  important  craft/body  site. 

Sat  Frederick  Benthal:  Army  photographer  flown  in  from  Washington  D.C.,  said  he 
photographed  alien  bodies  in  a tent  at  crash  site  and  saw  large  quantities  of  crash  debris 
being  hauled  away  in  trucks. 

PFC  Elias  Beniamin:  Roswell  MP.  said  he  escorted  the  alien  bodies  from  the  heavily 
guarded  base  Hangar  P-3  to  the  base  hospital,  and  saw  a live  one  being  worked  on  by 
doctors:  was  threatened  afterwards  if  he  didn't  keep  quiet. 

1st  Lt.  Chester  P.  Barton:  A crypto  specialist  and  assigned  to  an  MP  unit,  Barton  said  he 
was  ordered  to  the  crash  site  45  minutes  north  of  town  to  check  on  the  cleanup,  saw  a 
football-field-size  burn  impact  area  heavily  guarded  by  MPs,  scattered  metal  debris,  was  told 
radiation  was  at  the  site,  heard  archeologists  had  first  discovered  it,  and  also  heard  bodies 
were  taken  to  base  hospital  and  then  to  Fort  Worth.  Because  of  what  he  saw,  he  knew  that 
the  balloon  explanation  was  ridiculous  and  there  had  been  a cover-up.  However,  Barton 
was  unusual  in  being  a flying  saucer  crash  skeptic,  instead  thinking  that  it  was  maybe  a B-29 
crash  and  nuclear  accident. 

Bill  Braze  I Jr.:  Rancher  Mack  Brazel's  son,  Bill  Brazel  independently  corroborated  many 
details  of  Marcel's  testimony,  including  the  strange  debris,  the  large,  elongated  debris  field, 
and  his  father's  story  of  an  explosion  in  the  middle  of  a violent  electrical  storm. 

Louis  Rickett:  One  of  the  regular  Army  CIC  agents  in  Marcel's  office,  Rickett  confirmed  the 
anomalous  quality  of  the  debris,  a major  cleanup  operation  at  Brazel's  ranch,  high  secrecy, 
and  being  involved  in  a subsequent  investigation  to  determine  the  trajectory  of  the  craft.  He 


164 


was  also  told  by  others  about  the  shape  of  the  main  craft.  Like  Chester  Barton,  he  placed 
the  main  impact  site  a 45  minute  drive  north  of  Roswell. 

Brio.  Gen.  Arthur  Exon:  Though  not  a direct  participant,  Exon  was  stationed  at  Wright 
Field  at  the  time,  over  flew  the  area  soon  afterwards,  and  was  later  commanding  officer  of 
Wright-Patterson  AFB.  Exon  when  first  interviewed  flatly  stated,  "Roswell  was  the  recovery 
of  a craft  from  space. " Among  other  things,  he  confirmed  the  existence  of  two  main  crash 
sites.  Exon  also  said  he  heard  that  bodies  were  recovered  and  confirmed  the  debris  was 
highly  anomalous  based  on  testing  done  by  labs  at  Wright-Patterson.  Exon  added  that  he 
was  aware  of  other  crash-recoveries  that  occurred  while  he  was  C/O  at  Wright-Patterson. 

Steven  Lovekin  (served  in  the  White  Flouse  Army  Signal  Corp  during  Eisenhower  and 
Kennedy  administrations,  1959-1961)  Although  like  Exon  not  a direct  participant,  Lovekin 
said  he  received  1959  Pentagon  briefings  and  being  shown  a metallic  beam  with  symbols 
from  a 1947  N.M.  crash  (presumably  Roswell)  plus  being  told  of  either  3 or  5 aliens  being 
recovered,  one  initially  alive.  Fie  also  said  he  was  shown  very  compelling  photographic 
and  radar  evidence  of  UFOs.  Fie  also  testified  of  the  threats  against  military  personnel  given 
this  information  if  they  were  to  publicly  reveal  it.  Finally,  he  told  of  Eisenhower's  concern 
over  losing  control  of  the  situation  with  power  falling  into  the  hands  of  private  corporations 
given  access  to  the  materials. 

Brig.  Gen.  Thomas  Dubose:  Gen.  Ramey's  Chief  of  Staff  in  1947,  Dubose  handled  the 
high-level  phone  communications  between  Roswell,  Fort  Worth,  and  Washington.  Dubose 
went  on  record  many  times  about  the  high  secrecy  involved  (including  the  matter  going 
directly  to  the  White  Flouse),  receiving  direct  orders  from  Washington  to  instigate  a cover-up. 
Gen.  Ramey's  weather  balloon  cover  story,  and  a highly  secret  shipment  of  debris  from 
Roswell  to  Fort  Worth,  Washington,  and  Wright  Field.  Dubose's  damning  testimony  made 
him  a complete  nonentity  in  the  Air  Force's  1995  Roswell  report,  which  didn't  even  bother  to 
identify  him  in  the  photos  taken  of  Gen.  Ramey  with  his  weather  balloon.  (Visit  the  website 
to  view  Dubose's  Air  Force  biography,  his  sworn  affidavit,  and  a more  detailed  discussion  of 
his  testimony  which  the  Air  Force  was  so  eager  to  avoid.) 

Sgt.  Robert  Slusher  and  PFC  Lloyd  Thompson:  Crew  members  on  a mysterious  B-29 
flight  from  Roswell  to  Fort  Worth  on  July  9.  1947,  transporting  a large  wooden  crate  in  the 
bomb  bay  surrounded  by  an  armed  guard.  Upon  arrival,  the  plane  was  met  by  high  brass 
and  a mortician.  This  is  probably  the  flight  referred  to  in  the  Ramey  memo  that  would  ship 
whatever  was  "in  the  'disc'"  to  Fort  Worth  by  a B-29  Special  Transport  plane.  New  witnesses 
to  the  flight,  including  daughter  of  the  head  security  guard,  saying  that  alien  bodies  were 
inside  the  crate. 

Frank  Kaufmann:  A highly  controversial  witness  claiming  to  be  one  of  the  exclusive 
members  of  a special  CIC-team  (Army  Counter-Intelligence  Corp)  in  charge  of  the  Roswell 
recovery  operation.  Nonetheless,  some  of  Kaufmann's  claims  seem  to  be  corroborated  by 
the  Ramey  message,  including  the  existence  of  such  a team,  the  recovery  of  an  intact  "disk" 
with  bodies  inside  about  35  miles  north  of  Roswell  base,  and  the  special  team  being 
responsible  for  the  initial  Roswell  base  press  release.  Kaufmann  also  testified  to  knowing  of 
a wooden  crate  guarded  in  a hangar  with  the  bodies  packed  inside  awaiting  shipment, 
perhaps  the  same  crate  independently  described  by  Slusher  and  Thompson. 

Glenn  Dennis:  A Roswell  mortician  and  another  highly  controversial  witness,  Dennis  spoke 
of  receiving  strange  calls  from  the  base  about  preservation  techniques  and  child-sized 
coffins.  Dennis  also  claimed  to  be  at  the  Roswell  base  hospital,  seeing  unusual  debris  in  the 
back  of  an  ambulance  including  a pod-like  object  perhaps  alluded  to  in  the  Ramey  message, 


165 


and  being  threatened.  He  also  claimed  to  know  a Roswell  nurse  who  assisted  in  a 
preliminary  autopsy  at  the  base  hospital  and  who  described  the  aliens  to  him. 

The  nurse  subsequently  disappeared.  However,  attempts  to  identify  the  mystery  nurse  have 
proven  to  be  a complete  failure  after  Dennis  provided  a false  name.  However,  also  see 
some  corroborative  evidence  immediately  following  Dennis'  affidavit,  such  as  David 
Wagnon.  a medical  technician,  who  remembered  the  nurse  fitting  Dennis'  description,  as  did 
Pete  Anaya,  who  said  the  pretty  nurse  he  knew  and  encountered  at  the  base  hangar  telling 
him  of  the  bodies  there  subsequently  disappeared. 

Roswell  police  chief  L.  M.  Hall  stated  that  Dennis  was  telling  him  of  calls  from  the  base  about 
small  coffins  for  the  aliens  only  a few  days  after  the  crashed  saucer  story  broke  in  the 
Roswell  papers.  Similarly,  S/Sgt.  Milton  Sprouse  also  said  he  heard  of  the  coffin  call  from 
Dennis  and  a medic  friend  told  him  of  the  alien  bodies  and  autopsy  at  the  hospital. 

The  medic  and  doctors  and  nurses  involved  in  the  autopsy  all  immediately  were 
transferred  and  their  fate  remained  unknown.  In  addition,  other  independent  witnesses 
have  provided  first  and  second-hand  testimony  about  small  bodies  being  found  with  details 
very  similar  to  those  provided  by  Dennis,  including  Walter  Haut.  Frederick  Benthal.  Eli 
Beniamin,  and  relatives  of  "Pappy"  Henderson. 

Family  and  friends  of  Oliver  "Pappy"  Henderson:  Henderson  was  one  of  the  senior  pilots 
at  Roswell.  When  the  first  public  stories  of  a Roswell  saucer  crash  began  circulating  in 
1981.  Henderson  confided  to  family  and  friends  of  being  the  pilot  who  flew  bodies  of  the 
aliens  and  crash  wreckage  to  Wright  Field.  He  also  claimed  to  have  seen  the  craft  and 
bodies,  and  provided  a description  of  the  aliens. 

Sot.  Robert  E.  Smith:  A member  of  an  air  transport  unit  at  Roswell,  Smith  said  he  helped 
load  crates  filled  with  debris  for  transport  by  C-54's.  including  one  flown  by  Henderson  and 
his  crew.  Smith  was  also  among  the  witnesses  to  describe  the  mysterious  "memory  foil" 
which  he  said  was  in  the  crates.  He  further  described  strangers  to  the  base  dressed  in 
plainclothes  and  flashing  ID  cards  for  some  unknown  project,  perhaps  part  of  the  special 
CIC-team  mentioned  in  the  Ramey  memo  and  by  Frank  Kaufmann.  Finally  he  claimed  that 
distant  cousin  of  his  was  with  the  Secret  Service  and  was  there  at  the  base  representing 
President  Truman.  (The  same  name  was  also  provided  by  Kaufmann.) 

S/Sot.  Earl  V.  Fulford:  In  the  engineering  squadron,  Fulford  said  he  participated  in  the  large 
debris  field  cleanup  guarded  by  MPs,  handled  the  mysterious  "memory  foil, " saw  what  may 
have  been  the  tarped  crash  object  on  a flatbed  truck  being  towed  to  Hangar  84,  and  in  the 
middle  of  the  night  was  made  to  load  a large  wooden  crate  into  an  idling  C-54. 

Earl  Zimmerman:  Formerly  with  AFOSI  (AF  counterintelligence).  While  in  officers'  club 
heard  many  rumors  about  flying  saucer  crash  and  of  it  being  investigated  under  the  guise  of 
an  airplane  crash.  Several  times  observed  Gen.  Ramey  and  Charles  Lindbergh  being  at 
base  unannounced  in  connection  with  this.  Like  Robert  Smith,  spoke  of  seeing  an  unknown 
CtC  man  being  at  base.  Col.  Blanchard  told  him  it  was  OK.  Later  worked  with  astronomer 
Dr.  Lincoln  LaPaz  and  corroborated  story  of  Roswell  CtC  man  Lewis  Rickett  that  LaPaz 
investigated  Roswell  afterwards  with  the  help  of  the  CtC  to  try  to  determine  objects 
trajectory.  Again  an  airplane  crash  was  the  cover  story. 

Lt.  Robert  Shirkev:  Then  the  assistant  operations  officer,  Shirkey  witnessed  the  loading  of 
the 


166 


B-29  that  took  Major  Marcel  to  Fort  Worth  to  see  Gen.  Ramey.  He  said  he  saw  boxes  of 
debris  being  carried  on  board,  including  an  I-beam  with  raised  markings  and  a large  piece  of 
metal,  brushed  stainless  steel  in  color,  obviously  not  part  of  a tinfoil  radar  target.  He  was 
told  it  was  from  a flying  saucer.  Along  with  witness  Robert  Porter,  he  also  stated  that  the 
plane's  pilot  was  Deputy  Commanding  Officer  Lt.  Col.  Payne  Jennings,  who  was  now  the 
Acting  C/O  with  Col.  Blanchard  officially  on  leave.  Nine  days  later,  Shirkey  was  abruptly 
transferred  to  the  Philippines  to  a post  that  didn't  exist.  Jennings  personally  flew  him  to  his 
next  assignment. 

Sgt.  Robert  Porter:  Was  on  Marcel's  flight  to  Fort  Worth  and  was  handed  wrapped 
packages  of  debris  samples.  Said  that  flight  was  piloted  by  Deputy  base  commander 
Jennings.  He  was  told  on  board  that  the  crash  material  was  from  a flying  saucer.  Later,  they 
told  him  it  was  a weather  balloon.  Said  debris  was  loaded  onto  another  plane. 

Art  McQuiddv:  Former  editor  of  the  Roswell  Morning  Dispatch.  Said  base  commander  Col. 
Blanchard  admitted  to  authorizing  base  press  release  and  of  strange  material  being  found  by 
his  men. 

Judd  Roberts:  Co-owner  of  Roswell  radio  station  KGFL  owner.  Spoke  of  how  they  wire- 
recorded  an  interview  with  rancher  Mack  Brazel  for  later  airing,  then  withdrew  it  about 
receiving  warnings  from  Washington  about  losing  their  license.  Testified  to  seeing  a military 
cordon  around  Brazel  crash  site. 

William  Woody:  Another  witness  to  a military  cordon  thrown  up  up  north  of  town  along  the 
main  highway,  blocking  access  to  the  west. 

Lydia  Sleppy:  Albuquerque  teletype  operator  and  one  of  earliest  witnesses.  Stated  that  the 
story  phoned  in  from  field  by  Roswell  radio  reporter  Johnny  McBoyle  about  seeing  the 
crashed  saucer  and  hearing  of  bodies  was  intercepted  and  cut-off  on  the  teletype  wire  by  the 
FBI. 

Loretta  Proctor:  Neighbor  of  rancher  Mack  Brazel.  Brazel  told  her  and  her  husband  of 
finding  strange  material  before  going  to  Roswell,  and  showing  them  a wood-like  piece  that 
couldn't  be  cut  or  burned.  They  advised  him  to  go  to  Roswell  and  report  it.  Brazel  was 
detained  at  the  base  and  complained  bitterly  of  his  treatment  when  he  returned. 

Sally  Strickland  Tadolini:  Another  neighbor  of  Brazel's.  Although  only  9 years  old  at  the 
time,  remembered  Mack  Brazel's  grown  son  Bill  Brazel  bringing  over  a piece  of  metallic- 
looking  debris  with  memory  properties  to  show  to  her  family  (incident  corroborated  by  her 
mother).  Described  it  as  tough,  resembled  a smooth  "fabric"  like  silk  or  satin,  and,  of  course, 
unfolded  itself  to  its  original  shape  after  being  crumpled  up.  Independently  corroborated  Bill 
Brazel's  story  of  finding  material  and  also  Marcel's  of  a metallic  fabric  material  with  memory 
properties  which  he  could  blow  through  (therefore  not  balloon  material).  Also  remembered 
the  adults  talking  about  Mack  Brazel's  bad  treatment  at  hands  of  military. 

Dr.  Jesse  Marcel  Jr.:  1 1-year  old  son  of  Major  Marcel  in  1 947,  recounts  how  his  father 
woke  up  his  mother  and  himself  in  the  middle  of  the  night  when  he  returned  from  the  debris 
field,  showing  them  the  pieces  of  a "flying  saucer."  Among  other  material,  he  distinctly 
remembers  a small  metallic  "I-beam"  with  purplish  "hieroglyphics." 


14  "...  the  Commanding  General  of  the  Eighth  Air  Force..." 


167 


"General  Roger  M.  Ramey  was  a major  player  in  the  Roswell  Incident,  but  information  on 
him  is  hard  to  come  by.  Even  though  he  became  a fairly  important  Air  Force  general  in  the 
early  1950s,  for  some  reason  the  Air  Force  biographical  Web  page  on  their  generals  doesn't 
list  him. 

Ramey  was  born  in  1903  in  Sulphur  Springs,  Texas,  but  grew  up  in  Denton,  Texas,  about  40 
miles  north  of  Fort  Worth.  He  graduated  from  North  Texas  State  Teachers  College  in 
Denton  and  wanted  to  study  medicine.  But  he  won  a rodeo  competition  and  "preferred 
working  on  a ranch  to  books. " 

He  was  the  mess  sergeant  in  a local  National  Guard  unit,  and  the  captain  insisted  young 
"Cowboy"  Ramey  take  the  competitive  examination  for  entrance  to  the  U.S.  Military 
Academy,  winning  the  West  Point  appointment.  He  entered  West  Point  in  1 924. 

July  26,1946:  Ramey  wrote  Roswell  intelligence  chief  Major  Jesse  Marcel  a commendation 
for  his  work  during  Crossroads,  citing  his  important  contributions  to  security,  his  handling  of 
complex  intelligence  matters,  and  the  perfection  of  his  staff  briefings.  A year  later,  Marcel 
was  to  handle  the  initial  investigation  into  the  strange  crash  debris  found  by  rancher  Mac 
Brazel  near  Roswell  and  fly  the  debris  to  Fort  Worth  for  examination  by  Gen.  Ramey. 

June  30,  1947:  Ramey  and  his  intelligence  chief  were  giving  press  interviews  and 
debunking  the  new  flying  saucer  phenomenon. 

July  6,  1947:  Ramey  spent  all  day  attending  an  air  show  in  his  home  town  of  Denton,  TX 
(and  probably  visiting  relatives).  Meanwhile,  back  in  Fort  Worth  with  Ramey  away  from  the 
base,  his  chief  of  staff,  Brig.  Gen.  Thomas  Dubose,  said  he  first  learned  of  the  find  at 
Roswell  by  phone  from  SAC  acting  chief  of  staff  Gen.  McMullen.  According  to  Dubose, 
McMullen  ordered  debris  samples  flown  immediately  to  Washington  by  "colonel  courier, " first 
stopping  in  Fort  Worth.  The  whole  operation  was  carried  out  under  the  strictest  secrecy,  said 
Dubose.  McMullen  ordered  him  not  to  tell  anyone,  not  even  Ramey. 

July  8,  1947:  The  infamous  Roswell  base  flying  disk  press  release  and  Ramey's  subsequent 
debunking  of  it  as  a weather  balloon.  According  to  Dubose,  McMullen  ordered  the  cover-up 
in  another  phone  call  to  Dubose  from  Washington.  Both  Dubose  and  Roswell  intelligence 
chief  Jesse  Marcel  said  the  weather  balloon  was  not  what  Marcel  brought  from  Roswell, 
being  nothing  but  a cover  story  to  get  rid  of  the  press.

17  ..."Sheridan  Cavitt  of  the  Counter  Intelligence  Officer"... 

(Please  see  the  following  Footnote) 

18  "...  I was  asked  to  accompany  Mr.  Cavitt,  the  Counter  Intelligence  officer,  to  the 
crash  site  as  the  driver  of  his  vehicle  ... 

"Most  of  the  testimony  in  this  (the  following)  document  is  from  the  1 992  book  “Crash  at 
Corona  ” by  Stanton  Friedman  and  Don  Berliner,  published  in  the  United  States  by  Paragon 
House.  That  book  contains  lots  of  other  interesting  material,  including  material  regarding 
another  crash  site  in  New  Mexico. 

Sequence  of  Events: 

On  July  2,  1947.  during  the  evening,  a flying  saucer  crashed  on  the  Foster  Ranch  near 
Corona.  New  Mexico.  The  crash  occurred  during  a severe  thunderstorm.  (The  military  base 
nearest  the  crash  site  is  in  Roswell,  New  Mexico;  hence,  Roswell  is  more  closely  associated 
with  this  event  than  Corona,  even  though  Corona  is  closer  to  the  crash  site.) 

On  July  3,  1947,  William  “Mac"  Brazel  (rhymes  with  “frazzle")  and  his  7-year-old  neighbor 
Dee  Proctor  found  the  remains  of  the  crashed  flying  saucer.  Brazel  was  foreman  of 
the  Foster  Ranch.  The  pieces  were  spread  out  over  a large  area,  perhaps  more  than  half  a 
mile  long.  When  Brazel  drove  Dee  back  home,  he  showed  a piece  of  the  wreckage  to  Dee’s 
parents,  Floyd  and  Loretta  Proctor.  They  all  agreed  the  piece  was  unlike  anything  they  had 
ever  seen. 

On  July  6,  1947,  Brazel  showed  pieces  of  the  wreckage  to  Chaves  County  Sheriff  George 
Wilcox.  Wilcox  called  Roswell  Army  Air  Field  (AAF)  and  talked  to  Major  Jesse  Marcel,  the 
intelligence  officer.  Marcel  drove  to  the  sheriff’s  office  and  inspected  the  wreckage.  Marcel 
reported  to  his  commanding  officer,  Colonel  William  “Butch"  Blanchard.  Blanchard  ordered 
Marcel  to  get  someone  from  the  Counter  Intelligence  Corps,  and  to  proceed  to  the  ranch 
with  Brazel,  and  to  collect  as  much  of  the  wreckage  as  they  could  load  into  their  two 
vehicles. 

Soon  after  this,  military  police  arrived  at  the  sheriff’s  office,  collected  the  wreckage  Brazel 
had  left  there,  and  delivered  the  wreckage  to  Blanchard’s  office.  The  wreckage  was  then 
flown  to  Eighth  Air  Force  headquarters  in  Fort  Worth,  and  from  there  to  Washington. 

Meanwhile,  Marcel  and  Sheridan  Cavitt  of  the  Counter  Intelligence  Corps  drove  to  the  ranch 
with  Mac  Brazel.  They  arrived  late  in  the  evening.  They  spent  the  night  in  sleeping  bags  in  a 
small  out-building  on  the  ranch,  and  in  the  morning  proceeded  to  the  crash  site. 

On  July  7,  1947,  Marcel  and  Cavitt  collected  wreckage  from  the  crash  site.  After  filling 
Cavitt’s  vehicle  with  wreckage,  Marcel  told  Cavitt  to  go  on  ahead,  that  Marcel  would  collect 
more  wreckage,  and  they  would  meet  later  back  at  Roswell  AAF.  Marcel  filled  his  vehicle 


169 


with  wreckage.  On  the  way  back  to  the  air  field.  Marcel  stopped  at  home  to  show  his  wife 
and  son  the  strange  material  he  had  found. 

On  July  7,  1947,  around  4:00  pm.  Lydia  Sleppy  at  Roswell  radio  station  KSWS  began 
transmitting  a story  on  the  teletype  machine  regarding  a crashed  flying  saucer  out  on 
the  Foster  Ranch.  Transmission  was  interrupted,  seemingly  by  the  FBI. 

On  July  8,  1947,  in  the  morning,  Marcel  and  Cavitt  arrived  back  at  Roswell  AAF  with  two 
carloads  of  wreckage.  Marcel  accompanied  this  wreckage,  or  most  it,  on  a flight  to  Fort 
Worth  AAF. 

On  July  8,  1947,  around  noon,  Colonel  Blanchard  at  Roswell  AAF  ordered  Second 
Lieutenant  Walter  Haut  to  issue  a press  release  telling  the  country  that  the  Army  had  found 
the  remains  of  a crashed  a flying  saucer.  Flaut  was  the  public  information  officer  for  the 
509th  Bomb  Group  at  Roswell  AAF.  Haut  delivered  the  press  release  to  Frank  Joyce  at  radio 
station  KGFL.  Joyce  waited  long  enough  for  Haut  to  return  to  the  base,  then  called  Haut 
there  to  confirm  the  story.  Joyce  then  sent  the  story  on  the  Western  Union  wire  to  the 
United  Press  bureau. 

On  July  8,  1947,  in  the  afternoon,  General  Clemence  McMullen  in  Washington  spoke  by 
telephone  with  Colonel  (later  Brigadier  General)  Thomas  DuBose  in  Fort  Worth,  chief  of 
staff  to  Eighth  Air  Force  Commander  General  Roger  Ramey.  McMullen  ordered  DuBose  to 
tell  Ramey  to  quash  the  flying  saucer  story  by  creating  a cover  story,  and  to  send  some  of 
the  crash  material  immediately  to  Washington. 

On  July  8,  1947,  in  the  afternoon,  General  Roger  Ramey  held  a press  conference  at  Eighth 
Air  Force  headquarters  in  Fort  Worth  in  which  he  announced  that  what  had  crashed  at 
Corona  was  a weather  balloon,  not  a flying  saucer.  To  make  this  story  convincing,  he 
showed  the  press  the  remains  of  a damaged  weather  balloon  that  he  claimed  was  the  actual 
wreckage  from  the  crash  site.  (Apparently,  the  obliging  press  did  not  ask  why  the  Army 
hurriedly  transported  weather  balloon  wreckage  to  Fort  Worth,  Texas,  site  of  the  press 
conference,  from  the  crash  site  in  a remote  area  of  New  Mexico.) 

The  only  newspapers  that  carried  the  initial  flying  saucer  version  of  the  story  were  evening 
papers  from  the  Midwest  to  the  M/esf,  including  the  Chicago  Daily  News,  the  Los  Angeles 
Herald  Express,  the  San  Francisco  Examiner,  and  the  Roswell  Daily  Record.  The  New  York 
Times,  the  Washington  Post,  and  the  Chicago  Tribune  were  morning  papers  and  so  carried 
only  the  cover-up  story  the  next  morning. 

At  some  point,  a large  group  of  soldiers  were  sent  to  the  debris  field  on  the  Foster  Ranch, 
including  a lot  of  MPs  whose  job  was  to  limit  access  to  the  field.  A wide  search 
was  launched  well  beyond  the  limits  of  the  debris  field.  Within  a day  or  two,  a few  miles  from 
the  debris  field,  the  main  body  of  the  flying  saucer  was  found,  and  a mile  or  two  from  that 
several  bodies  of  small  humanoids  were  found. 

The  military  took  Mac  Brazel  into  custody  for  about  a week,  during  which  time  he  was  seen 
on  the  streets  of  Roswell  with  a military  escort.  His  behavior  aroused  the  curiosity  of 
friends  when  he  passed  them  without  any  sign  of  recognition.  Following  this  period  of 
detention,  Brazel  repudiated  his  initial  story. "

"...I  discovered  that  one  of  the  personnel  on  board  the  craft  had  survived  the 
crash...  " 

The  following  is  a verbatim  copy  of  the  signed  Affidavit  submitted  on  8-7-1991  by 
Glenn  Dennis,  a mortician,  in  Roswell,  N.M.  at  the  time  of  the  incident  described  in  the 
letter  from  Mrs.  MacElroy:  (PLEASE  NOTE:  Mrs.  MacElroy  is  NOT  the  same  nurse  that 
Mr.  Dennis  mentions  in  his  Affidavit.  Although  no  official  identification  has  been  made, 
several  witnesses  have  identified  "Nurse  X"  as  1st  Lt.  Adeline  "Eileen"  Fanton.) 

"AFFIDAVIT  OF  GLENN  DENNIS 


(1)  My  name  is  Glenn  Dennis 

(2)  My  address  is:  XXXXXXXXXX 

(3)  I am  ( ) employed  as: ( ) retired, 

(4)  In  July  1947,  I was  a mortician,  working  for  the  Ballard  Funeral  Home  in  Roswell,  which 
had  a contract  to  provide  mortuary  services  for  the  Roswell  Army  Air  Field.  One  afternoon, 
around  1:15  or  1:30,  I received  a call  from  the  base  mortuary  officer  who  asked  what  was  the 
smallest  size  hermetically  sealed  casket  that  we  had  in  stock.  He  said,  "We  need  to  know 
this  in  case  something  comes  up  in  the  future. " He  asked  how  long  it  would  take  to  get  one, 
and  I assured  him  I could  get  one  for  him  the  following  day.  He  said  he  would  call  back  if 
they  needed  one. 

(5)  About  45  minutes  to  an  hour  later,  he  called  back  and  asked  me  to  describe  the 
preparation  for  bodies  that  had  been  lying  out  on  the  desert  for  a period  of  time.  Before  I 
could  answer,  he  said  he  specifically  wanted  to  know  what  effect  the  preparation  procedures 
would  have  on  the  body's  chemical  compounds,  blood  and  tissues.  I explained  that  our 
chemicals  were  mainly  strong  solutions  of  formaldehyde  and  water,  and  that  the  procedure 
would  probably  alter  the  body's  chemical  composition.  I offered  to  come  out  to  the  base  to 
assist  with  any  problem  he  might  have,  but  he  reiterated  that  the  information  was  for  future 
use.  I suggested  that  if  he  had  such  a situation  that  I would  try  to  freeze  the  body  in  dry  ice 
for  storage  and  transportation. 

(6)  Approximately  a hour  or  an  hour  and  15  minutes  later,  I got  a call  to  transport  a 
serviceman  who  had  a laceration  on  his  head  and  perhaps  a fractured  nose.  I gave  him  first 
aid  and  drove  him  out  to  the  base.  I got  there  around  5:00  PM. 

(7)  Although  I was  a civilian,  I usually  had  free  access  on  the  base  because  they  knew  me. 

I drove  the  ambulance  around  to  the  back  of  the  base  infirmary  and  parked  it  next  to  another 
ambulance.  The  door  was  open  and  inside  I saw  some  wreckage.  There  were  several 
pieces  which  looked  like  the  bottom  of  a canoe,  about  three  feet  in  length.  It  resembled 
stainless  steel  with  a purple  hue,  as  if  it  had  been  exposed  to  high  temperature.  There  was 
some  strange-looking  writing  on  the  material  resembling  Egyptian  hieroglyphics.  Also  there 
were  two  MPs  present. 

(8)  I checked  the  airman  in  and  went  to  the  staff  lounge  to  have  a Coke.  I intended  to  look 
for  a nurse,  a 2nd  Lieutenant,  who  had  been  commissioned  about  three  months  earlier  right 
out  of  college.  She  was  23  years  of  age  at  the  time  (I  was  22).  I saw  her  coming  out  of  one 
of  the  examining  rooms  with  a cloth  over  her  mouth.  She  said,  "My  gosh,  get  out  of  here  or 
you're  going  to  be  in  a lot  of  trouble. " She  went  into  another  door  where  a Captain  stood. 


171 


He  asked  me  who  I was  and  what  I was  doing  here.  I told  him,  and  he  instructed  me  to  stay 
there.  I said,  "It  looks  like  you've  got  a crash;  would  you  like  me  to  get  ready?"  He  told  me 
to  stay  right  there.  Then  two  MPs  came  up  and  began  to  escort  me  out  of  the  infirmary. 

They  said  they  had  orders  to  follow  me  out  to  the  funeral  home. 

(9)  We  got  about  10  or  15  feet  when  I heard  a voice  say.  "We're  not  through  with  that  SOB. 
Bring  him  back. " There  was  another  Captain,  a redhead  with  the  meanest-iooking  eyes  I 
had  ever  seen,  who  said,  "You  did  not  see  anything,  there  was  no  crash  here,  and  if  you  say 
anything  you  could  get  into  a lot  of  trouble. " I said,  "Hey  look  mister,  I'm  a civilian  and  you 
can 't  do  a damn  thing  to  me. " He  said.  "Yes  we  can;  somebody  will  be  picking  your  bones 
out  of  the  sand. " There  was  a black  Sergeant  with  a pad  in  his  hand  who  said,  "He  would 
make  good  dog  food  for  our  dogs. " The  Captain  said,  "Get  the  SOB  out. " The  MPs  followed 
me  back  to  the  funeral  home. 

(10)  The  next  day,  I tried  to  call  the  nurse  to  see  what  was  going  on.  About  1 TOO  AM,  she 
called  the  funeral  home  and  said,  "I  need  to  talk  to  you. " We  agreed  to  meet  at  the  officers 
club.  She  was  very  upset.  She  said,  "Before  I talk  to  you,  you  have  to  give  me  a sacred 
oath  that  you  will  never  mention  my  name,  because  I could  get  into  a lot  of  trouble. " I 
agreed. 

(11)  She  said  she  had  gone  to  get  supplies  in  a room  where  two  doctors  were  performing  a 
prelimary  autopsy.  The  doctors  said  they  needed  her  to  take  notes  during  the  procedure. 
She  said  she  had  never  smelled  anything  so  horrible  in  her  life,  and  the  sight  was  the  most 
gruesome  she  had  ever  seen.  She  said,  "This  was  something  no  one  has  ever  seen. " As 
she  spoke,  I was  concerned  that  she  might  go  into  shock. 

(12)  She  drew  me  a diagram  of  the  bodies,  including  an  arm  with  a hand  that  had  only  four 
fingers;  the  doctors  noted  that  on  the  end  of  the  fingers  were  little  pads  resembling  suction 
cups.  She  said  the  head  was  disproportionately  large  for  the  body;  the  eyes  were  deeply 
set;  the  skulls  were  flexible;  the  nose  was  concave  with  only  two  orifices;  the  mouth  was  a 
fine  slit,  and  the  doctors  said  there  was  heavy  cartilage  instead  of  teeth.  The  ears  were  only 
small  orifices  with  flaps.  They  had  no  hair,  and  the  skin  was  black-perhaps  due  to  exposure 
in  the  sun.  She  gave  me  the  drawings. 

(13)  There  were  three  bodies;  two  were  very  mangled  and  dismembered,  as  if  destroyed  by 
predators;  one  was  fairly  intact.  They  were  three-and-a-half  to  four  feet  tall.  She  told  me  the 
doctors  said:  "This  isn't  anything  we've  ever  see  before;  there's  nothing  in  the  medical 
textbooks  like  this. " She  said  she  and  the  doctors  became  ill.  They  had  to  turn  off  the  air 
conditioning  and  were  afraid  the  smell  would  go  through  the  hospital.  They  had  to  move  the 
operation  to  an  airplane  hangar. 

(14)  I drove  her  back  to  the  officers'  barracks.  The  next  day  I called  the  hospital  to  see  how 
she  was,  and  they  said  she  wasn't  available.  I tried  to  get  her  for  several  days,  and  finally 
got  one  of  the  nurses  who  said  the  Lieutenant  had  been  transferred  out  with  some  other 
personnel.  About  10  days  to  two  weeks  later,  I got  a letter  from  her  with  an  APO  number. 
She  indicated  we  could  discuss  the  incident  by  letter  in  the  future.  I wrote  back  to  her  and 
about  two  weeks  later  the  letter  came  back  marked  "Return  to  Sender-DECEASED. " Later, 
one  of  the  nurses  at  the  base  said  the  rumor  was  that  she  and  five  other  nurses  had  been  on 
a training  mission  and  had  been  killed  in  a plane  crash. 

(15)  Sheriff  George  Wilcox  and  my  father  were  very  close  friends.  The  Sheriff  went  to  my 
folks'  house  the  morning  after  the  events  at  the  base  and  said  to  my  father.  "I  don't  know 
what  kind  of  trouble  Glenn's  in,  but  you  tell  your  son  that  he  doesn't  know  anything  and 


172 


hasn't  seen  anything  at  the  base. " He  added.  "They  want  you  and  your  wife's  name,  and 
they  want  your  and  your  children's  addresses. " My  father  immediately  drove  to  the  funeral 
home  and  asked  me  what  kind  of  trouble  I was  in.  He  related  the  conversation  with  Sheriff 
Wilcox,  and  so  I told  him  about  the  events  of  the  previous  day.  He  is  the  only  person  to 
whom  I have  told  this  story  until  recently. 

(16)  I had  filed  away  the  sketches  the  nurse  gave  me  that  day.  Recently,  at  the  request  of  a 
researcher,  I tried  to  locate  my  personal  files  at  the  funeral  home,  but  they  had  all  been 
destroyed. 

(17)  I have  not  been  paid  or  given  anything  of  value  to  make  this  statement,  which  is  the 
truth  to  the  best  of  my  recollection.

20  "...telepathic  thought..." 

"Telepathy,  from  the  Greek  rsAs,  tele  meaning  "remote"  and  naBsia,  patheia  meaning  "to  be 
affected  by",  describes  the  purported  transfer  of  information  on  thoughts  or  feelings  between 
individuals  by  means  other  than  the  five  classical  senses.  The  term  was  coined  in  1882  by 
the  classical  scholar  Fredric  W.  H.  Myers,  a founder  of  the  Society  for  Psychical  Research, 
specifically  to  replace  the  earlier  expression  thought-transference.  A person  who  is  able  to 
make  use  of  telepathy  is  said  to  be  able  to  read  the  minds  of  others.  Telepathy,  along  with 
psychokinesis  forms  the  main  branches  of  parapsychological  research,  and  many  studies 
seeking  to  detect  and  understand  telepathy  have  been  done  within  the  field. 

Telepathy  is  a common  theme  in  fiction  and  science  fiction,  with  many  superheroes  and 
supervillains  having  telepathic  abilities.  Such  abilities  include  both  sensing  the  thoughts  of 
others,  and  controlling  the  minds  of  other  people.  Transhumanists  believe  that 
technologically  enabled  telepathy,  called  "techlepathy",  will  be  the  inevitable  future  of 
humanity,  and  seek  to  develop  practical,  safe  devices  for  directly  connecting  human  nervous 
systems. "

21  "...I  was  the  only  women  at  the  site..." 

"Another  story  about  the  alien  bodies  and  a vanishing  nurse  came  from  Pete  and  Ruben 
Anaya,  who  said  they  picked  up  N.M.  Lt.  Governor  Joseph  Montoya  outside  the  large  base 
hangar.  Besides  the  hangar  being  heavily  guarded  by  MPs.  they  said  there  was  a base 
nurse  (or  maybe  two  different  nurses)  who  came  outside  the  hangar  and  spoke  briefly  with 
them.  Ruben  said  she  told  him  that  the  bodies  were  "not  from  this  world"  and  then  noticed 
one  of  them  moving.  Ruben  said  he  then  went  to  take  a look  and  also  glimpsed  two  small 
bodies  from  a distance  under  sheets  inside  the  hangar  and  one  of  them  moving.  He 
described  the  nurse  he  spoke  to  as  blondish  and  heavyset.  [Note:  Of  the  five  nurses  that  are 
pictured  in  the  base  yearbook  from  around  June/July  1947,  none  of  them  appear  blondish  or 
heavyset,  though. 


173 


In  contrast,  Pete  Anaya  said  he  knew  the  nurse  he  spoke  to  from  the  Officer's  Club  (his 
brother  Ruben  worked  there  as  a cook),  had  danced  with  her  once  the  previous  Halloween 
at  a party,  said  she  resembled  his  wife  Mary,  and  was  a beautiful  women  with  beautiful  hair. 
He  wanted  to  go  inside  the  hangar  to  see  what  was  going  on,  and  she  told  him  he  didn't 
want  to  see  anything.  After  that,  he  said  he  never  saw  her  again.  (Source:  Tim  Shawcross, 
The  Roswell  File,  1997) 

Former  Roswell  police  chief  L.M.  Hall  remembered  Dennis  telling  him  only  a few  days  after 
the  newspaper  stories  of  the  crashed  flying  saucer,  about  strange  calls  from  the  base  for 
child-size  caskets  "to  ship  or  bury  those  aliens. " 

Another  witness  that  recently  came  forth  to  corroborate  parts  of  Dennis'  story  was  S/Sgt. 
Milton  Sprouse,  then  a B-29  crew  chief  with  the  830th  Bomb  Squadron.  Sprouse  said  he 
spoke  to  Dennis  several  years  later  while  Dennis  handled  a funeral  for  a friend.  Dennis  told 
him  he  had  received  a call  from  the  base  for  five  children's  caskets  for  a crash  that  had 
happened  2 or  3 days  before.  Thus  it  seems  that  Dennis'  story  of  the  child  casket  call  is  not 
of  recent  origin  but  dates  back  to  the  original  event  itself. 

Sprouse  said  the  bodies  were  taken  to  a hangar  heavily  guarded  by  MPs  with  machine 
guns.  He  also  said  he  knew  something  about  the  autopsy  initially  described  by  Dennis.  A 
fellow  staff  sergeant  in  his  barracks,  who  worked  as  an  emergency  room  medic  at  the  base 
hospital,  was  called  out  there.  When  he  came  back  he  related  that  an  autopsy  on  one  or  two 
of  the  "humanoid  bodies"  had  been  carried  out  by  two  doctors  and  two  nurses.  His  friend 
said  he  had  seen  the  bodies.  Similar  to  Dennis'  nurse,  the  sergeant  was  transferred  the 
following  day  and  nobody  ever  found  out  what  became  of  him. 

Sprouse  also  heard  that  the  doctors  and  nurses  involved  with  the  autopsy  were  also 
transferred  and  nobody  found  out  what  became  of  them  either.  Five  members  of  his  ground 
crew  were  also  sent  to  the  ranch  to  help  clean  up  the  debris  field.  They  told  him  the  material 
was  "out  of  this  world, " including  foil  that  when  crumpled  returned  to  its  original  shape. "

22  "...prehensile..." 

"The  word  is  derived  from  the  Latin  term  prehendere,  meaning  "to  grasp. " It  is  the  quality  of 
an  organ  that  has  adapted  for  grasping  or  holding.  Examples  of  prehensile  body  parts 
include  the  tails  of  New  World  monkeys  and  opossums,  the  trunks  of  elephants,  the  tongues 
of  giraffes,  the  lips  of  horses  and  the  proboscides  of  tapir.  The  hands  of  primates  are  all 
prehensile  to  varying  degrees,  and  many  species  (even  a few  humans)  have  prehensile  feet 
as  well.  The  claws  of  cats  are  also  prehensile.  Many  extant  lizards  have  prehensile  tails 
(geckos,  chameleons,  and  a species  ofskink).  The  fossil  record  shows  prehensile  tails  in 
lizards  (Simiosauria)  going  back  many  million  years  to  the  Triassic  period . 

Prehensility  is  an  evolutionary  adaptation  that  has  afforded  species  a great  natural 
advantage  in  manipulating  their  environment  for  feeding,  digging,  and  defense.  It  enables 
many  animals,  such  as  primates,  to  use  tools  in  order  to  complete  tasks  that  would 
otherwise  be  impossible  without  highly  specialized  anatomy.  For  example,  chimpanzees 
have  the  ability  to  use  sticks  to  fish  for  termites  and  grubs.  However,  not  all  prehensile 
organs  are  applied  to  tool  use-  the  giraffe  tongue,  for  instance,  is  instead  used  in  feeding 
and  self-cleaning  behaviors. "

23  "...  able  to  detect  waves  or  particles  beyond  the  visual  spectrum  of  light." 

The  visible  spectrum  (or  sometimes  called  the  optical  spectrum)  is  the  portion  of  the 
electromagnetic  spectrum  that  is  visible  to  (can  be  detected  by)  the  human  eye. 
Electromagnetic  radiation  in  this  range  of  wavelengths  is  called  visible  light  or  simply  light. 

A typical  human  eye  will  respond  to  wavelengths  in  air  from  about  380  to  750  nm.  The 
corresponding  wavelengths  in  water  and  other  media  are  reduced  by  a factor  equal  to  the 
refractive  index.  In  terms  of  frequency,  this  corresponds  to  a band  in  the  vicinity  of  400-790 
terahertz.  A light-adapted  eye  generally  has  its  maximum  sensitivity  at  around  555  nm  (540 
THz),  in  the  green  region  of  the  optical  spectrum.  The  spectrum  does  not,  however,  contain 
all  the  corlors  that  the  human  eyes  and  brain  can  distinguish.  Brown,  pink,  and  magenta  are 
absent,  for  example,  because  they  need  a mix  of  multiple  wavelengths,  preferably  shades  of 
red. 

Wavelengths  visible  to  the  eye  also  pass  through  the  "optical  window",  the  region  of  the 
electromagnetic  spectrum  which  passes  largely  unattenuated  through  the  Earth's 
atmosphere  (although  blue  light  is  scattered  more  than  red  light,  which  is  the  reason  the  sky 
is  blue).  The  response  of  the  human  eye  is  defined  by  subjective  testing,  but  the 
atmospheric  windows  are  defined  by  physical  measurement.  The  "visible  window"  is  so 
called  because  it  overlaps  the  human  visible  response  spectrum;  the  near  infrared  windows 
lie  just  out  of  human  response  window,  and  the  Medium  Wavelength  and  Long  Wavelength 
or  Far  Infrared  are  far  beyond  the  human  response  region. 

The  eyes  of  many  species  perceive  wavelengths  different  from  the  spectrum  visible  to  the 
human  eye.  For  example,  many  insects,  such  as  bees,  can  see  light  in  the  ultraviolet,  which 
is  useful  for  finding  nectar  in  flowers.  For  this  reason,  plant  species  whose  life  cycles  are 
linked  to  insect  pollination  may  owe  their  reproductive  success  to  their  appearance  in 
ultraviolet  light,  rather  than  how  colorful  they  appear  to  our  eyes."

24  "...  this  may  have  included  the  full  range  of  the  electromagnetic  spectrum..." 

"The  electromagnetic  spectrum  is  the  range  of  all  possible  electromagnetic  radiation.  The 
"electromagnetic  spectrum"  (usually  just  spectrum)  of  an  object  is  the  characteristic 
distribution  of  electromagnetic  radiation  from  that  object. 

The  electromagnetic  spectrum  extends  from  below  the  frequencies  used  for  modern  radio  (at 
the  long-wavelength  end)  through  gamma  radiation  (at  the  short-wavelength  end),  covering 
wavelengths  from  thousands  of  kilometres  down  to  a fraction  the  size  of  an  atom.  It's  thought 
that  the  short  wavelength  limit  is  the  vicinity  of  the  Planck  length,  and  the  long  wavelength 
limit  is  the  size  of  the  universe  itself,  although  in  principle  the  spectrum  is  infinite  and 
continuous. "

"In  fictional  stories,  X-ray  vision  has  generally  been  portrayed  as  the  ability  to  see  through

sometimes  for  purpose  of  seeing  a person's  private  parts.  In  the  non-fictional  realm.  X-rays

currently  extant  which  can  "see"  through  clothing  (using  terahertz  waves),  most  are  quite 
bulky.  However,  there  are  night  vision  equipped  video  cameras  that  can  be  modified  to  see

26  ..."Technically,  from  a medical  standpoint,  I would  say  that  Aid's  body  could  not 
even  be  called  "alive".  " 

"The  word  "organism"  may  broadly  be  defined  as  an  assembly  of  molecules  that  function  as 
a more  or  less  stable  whole  and  has  the  properties  of  life.  However,  many  sources,  lexical 
and  scientific,  add  conditions  that  are  problematic  to  defining  the  word. 

The  Oxford  English  Dictionary  defines  an  organism  as  ''[an]  individual  animal,  plant,  or 
single-celled  life  form"  This  definition  problematically  excludes  non-animal  and  plant  multi- 
cellular life  forms  such  as  some  fungi  and  protista.  Less  controversially,  perhaps,  it  excludes 
viruses  and  theoretically-possible  man-made  non-organic  life  forms. 

Chambers  Online  Reference  provides  a much  broader  definition:  "any  living  structure,  such 
as  a plant,  animal,  fungus  or  bacterium,  capable  of  growth  and  reproduction".  The  definition 
"any  life  form  capable  of  independent  reproduction,  organic  or  otherwise"  would  encompass 
all  cellular  life,  as  well  as  the  possibility  of  synthetic  life  capable  of  independent  reproduction, 
but  would  exclude  viruses,  which  are  dependent  on  the  biochemical  machinery  of  a host  cell 
for  reproduction.  Some  may  use  a definition  that  would  also  include  viruses. "

27  "...in  space  there  is  not  gravity..." 

"The  terms  gravitation  and  gravity  are  mostly  interchangeable  in  everyday  use,  but  in 
scientific  usage  a distinction  may  be  made.  "Gravitation"  is  a general  term  describing  the 
attractive  influence  that  all  objects  with  mass  exert  on  each  other,  while  " gravity " specifically 
refers  to  a force  that  is  supposed  in  some  theories  (such  as  Newton's)  to  be  the  cause  of  this 
attraction.  By  contrast,  in  general  relativity  gravitation  is  due  to  space-time  curvatures  that 
cause  inertially  moving  objects  to  accelerate  towards  each  other. 

Isaac  Newton's  theory  of  universal  gravitation  is  a physical  law  describing  the 
gravitational  attraction  between  bodies  with  mass.  It  is  a part  of  classical  mechanics  and  was 
first  formulated  in  Newton's  work  Philosophiae  Naturalis  Principia  Mathematica,  published  in 
1687.  In  modem  language  it  states  the  following: 

Every  point  mass  attracts  every  other  point  mass  by  a force  pointing  along  the  Ijne 
intersecting  both  points.  The  force  is  proportional  to  the  product  of  the  two  masses  and 
inversely  proportional  to  the  square  of  the  distance  between  the  point  masses: 


176 


where: 


• F is  the  magnitude  of  the  gravitational  force  between  the  two  point  masses, 

• G is  the  gravitational  constant. 

• m1  is  the  mass  of  the  first  point  mass, 

• m2  is  the  mass  of  the  second  point  mass, 

• r is  the  distance  between  the  two  point  masses. "

"Shorthand  is  an  abbreviated  and/or  symbolic  writing  method  that  increases  speed  or  brevity 
of  writing  as  compared  to  a normal  method  of  writing  a language.  The  process  of  writing  in 
shorthand  is  called  stenography,  from  the  Greek  stenos  (narrow)  and  graphe  (writing).  It  has 
also  been  called  brachygraphy,  from  Greek  brachys  (short)  and  tachygraphy,  from  Greek 
tachys  (swift,  speedy),  depending  on  whether  compression  or  speed  of  writing  is  the  goal. 
Many  forms  of  shorthand  exist.  A typical  shorthand  system  provides  symbols  or 
abbreviations  for  words  and  common  phrases,  which  allow  someone  well  trained  in  the 
system  to  write  as  quickly  as  people  speak.  Shorthand  was  used  more  widely  in  the  past,

29  "...  INVESTIGATION  OF  "BURNING  CLOUDS"  / RADIATION  / EXPLOSIONS..." 

"July  16,  1945..."  - The  first  test  of  a nuclear  device  was  made  in  the  desert  north  of 
Alamogordo,  New  Mexico.  Roswell,  New  Mexico  is  only  117  miles  from  Alamogordo. 


NOTE:  In  1932  that  British  explorers  in  Model-A  Fords  first  visited  this  area  of  western 
Egypt,  where  they  discovered  a mysterious  yellow-green  glass  scattered  across  the  surface. 
Ever  since,  Libyan  Desert  Glass  has  fascinated  scientists,  who  have  dreamed  up  all  sorts  of 
ideas  about  how  it  could  have  formed.  It's  too  silica  rich  to  be  volcanic.  In  some  ways  it 
resembles  the  tektites  generated  by  the  high  pressures  associated  with  asteroid  impacts. 
Vincenzo  de  Michele  visited  the  Egyptian  Museum  in  Cairo,  and  noticed  that  one  of  King 
Tutankhamun’s  jeweled  breastplates  contained  a carved  scarab  that  looked  suspiciously  like 
a piece  of  the  glass.  A simple  optical  measurement  confirmed  the  match  in  1 998.  Nuclear 
explosions  are  hot  enough  to  fuse  surface  materials  into  glass,  much  like  the  first 
atomic  explosion  generated  yellow  - green  glass  at  the  Trinity,  New  Mexico  site  in 
1945.  Many  similar  sites  around  the  world  that  are  associated  with  unexplainable 
"cataclysmic"  events  reveal  the  same  yellow  - green  glass.  This  "yellow-green  glass"  has 
been  discovered  in  strata  of  rock  which  contain  dinosaur  fossils  all  over  the  world.

recommendation  of  the  Commission,  based  on  explosions  of  bombs  in  Alamogordo,  New 
Mexico,  on  innocent  civilians  in  two  Japanese  cities,  and  on  the  Marshall  Islands,  was  as 
follows:  (Seriously,  you  can't  make  this  shit  up,  folks!) 


"PART  III  — Conclusions  and  Recommendations 


177 


Section  One  - CONCLUSIONS 


1.  The  Board  has  reached  the  following  major  conclusions: 

(1)  If  used  in  numbers,  atomic  bombs  not  only  can  nullify  any  nation's  military  effort, 
but  can  demolish  its  social  and  economic  structures  and  prevent  their  reestablishment 
for  long  periods  of  time.  With  such  weapons,  especially  if  employed  in  conjunction  with 
other  weapons  of  mass  destruction  as,  for  example,  pathogenic  bacteria,  it  is  quite 
possible  to  depopulate  vast  areas  of  the  earth's  surface,  leaving  only  vestigial  remnants 
of  man's  material  works. 

(2)  The  threat  of  the  uncontrolled  use  of  the  atomic  bomb  and  of  other  weapons  of 
mass  destruction  is  a threat  to  mankind  and  to  civilization.  Only  the  outlawing  of  all  war 
and  the  setting  up  on  an  adequate  international  control  of  weapons  of  mass  destruction 
can  lift  this  threat  from  the  peoples  of  the  world. 

(3)  In  the  absence  of  absolute  guarantees  of  abiding  peace,  the  United  States  has 
not  alternative  but  to  continue  the  manufacture  and  stockpiling  of  weapons  of  nuclear 
fission  and  to  carry  on  continuous  research  and  development  for  their  improvement  in 
the  means  of  their  delivery. "

One  thousand  thousand  = one  million.  ( 1,000,000  ) 

One  thousand  million  = one  billion.  ( 1 ,000,000,000  ) 

One  thousand  billion  = one  trillion.  ( 1,000,000,000,000  ) 

"The  English  names  for  large  numbers  are  coined  from  the  Latin  names  for  small  numbers  n 
by  adding  the  ending  -illion  suggested  by  the  name  "million. " Thus  billion  and  trillion  are 
coined  from  the  Latin  prefixes  bi-  (n  = 2)  and  tri-  (n  = 3),  respectively. 

In  recent  years,  American  usage  has  eroded  the  European  number  definitions,  particularly  in 
Britain  and  to  a lesser  extent  in  other  countries.  This  is  primarily  due  to  American  finance, 
because  Americans  insist  that  $1,000,000,000  be  called  a billion  dollars.  In  1974.  the 
government  of  Prime  Minister  Harold  Wilson  announced  that  henceforth  "billion " would  mean 
10 9 and  not  1012  in  official  British  reports  and  statistics.  Anyone  who  uses  the  words  "billion" 
and  "trillion " internationally  should  make  clear  which  meaning  of  those  words  is  intended. "

Studied  the  role  of  women  in  parapsychology,  and  formed  groups  and  institutes  interested  in 
the  study  of  ESP,  such  as  the  American  Society  for  Psychical  Research,  the  Duke  University 
Parapsychology  Laboratory,  and  the  Parapsychology  Foundation,  Inc. 


178 


Reflected  in  much  of  her  research  is  the  work  for  which  Schmeidler  is  most  notable,  the 
development  of  the  metaphor  of  the  sheep  and  goats.  She  determined  through  several 
cycles  of  ESP  card-guessing  experiments  that  "sheep"  (persons  who  believed  that  success 
was  possible  in  ESP  tasks)  scored  higher  than  "goats"  (those  who  rejected  the  possibility  of 
success).

38  "...  the  Japanese  people  have  a great  number  of  homonyms..." 

"In  linguistics,  a homonym  is  one  of  a group  of  words  that  share  the  same  spelling  and  the 
same  pronunciation  but  have  different  meanings.  Some  sources  only  require  that  homonyms 
share  the  same  spelling  or  pronunciation  (in  addition  to  having  different  meanings). 

Examples  of  homonyms  are  stalk  (which  can  mean  either  part  of  a plant  or  to  follow 
someone  around),  bear  (animal)  and  bear  (carry),  left  (opposite  of  right)  and  left  (past  tense 
of  leave).  Some  sources  also  consider  the  following  trio  of  words  to  be  homonyms,  but 
others  designate  them  as  "only"  homophones:  to,  too  and  two  (actually,  to,  to,  too,  too  and 
two,  being  "for  the  purpose  of  as  in  "to  make  it  easier",  the  opposite  of  "from",  also, 
excessively,  and  "2",  respectively).  The  word  "homonym"  comes  from  the  conjunction  of  the 
Greek  prefix  homo-  (meaning  same)  and  suffix  -onym  (meaning  name).  Thus,  it  refers  to  two 
or  more  distinct  words  sharing  the  "same  name"."

39  "...standard  Chinese  characters..." 


"A  Chinese  character  or  Han  character  (simplified  Chinese:  5X?;  traditional  Chinese: 
pinyin:  Hanzi)  is  a logogram  used  in  writing  Chinese,  Japanese,  sometimes  Korean,  and 
formerly  Vietnamese.  The  number  of  Chinese  characters  contained  in  the  Kangxi 
dictionary  is  approximately  47,035.  although  a large  number  of  these  are  rarely  used 
variants  accumulated  throughout  history.  Studies  carried  out  in  China  have  shown  that  full 
literacy  requires  a knowledge  of  between  three  and  four  thousand  characters. 

In  the  Chinese  writing  system,  each  character  corresponds  to  a single  spoken  syllable.  A 
majority  of  words  in  all  modern  varieties  of  Chinese  are  poly-syllabic  and  thus  require  two  or 
more  characters  to  write.  Cognates  in  the  various  Chinese  languages/dialects  which  have 
the  same  or  similar  meaning  but  different  pronunciations  can  be  written  with  the  same 
character.  In  addition,  many  Chinese  characters  were  adopted  according  to  their 
meaning  by  the  Japanese  and  Korean  languages  to  represent  native  words, 
disregarding  pronunciation  altogether. "

40  "...McGuffey's  Eclectic  Readers..." 

"McGuffey's  Eclectic  Readers  were  written  by  William  Holmes  McGuffey  who  began 
teaching  school  at  the  age  of  14.  He  was  a professor  of  ancient  languages  at  Miami 
University  from  1826  until  his  resignation  in  1836.  He  then  served  as  president  of  Cincinnati 
College  (1836-1839)  and  Ohio  University  (1839-1843).  Returning  to  Cincinnati.  McGuffey 
taught  at  Woodward  College  from  1843  until  1845,  when  he  became  a professor  of  moral 
philosophy  at  the  University  of  Virginia.  He  was  ordained  as  a Presbyterian  minister  in  1829. 
It  was  during  his  years  at  Miami  when  McGuffey  was  approached  to  write  a series  of  readers 
for  school  children.  In  addition  to  the  work  done  on  these  by  William  Holmes  McGuffey.  he 
was  assisted  by  his  brother,  Alexander  Hamilton  McGuffey,  who  also  compiled  a speller  and 
had  sole  responsibility  for  the  Fifth  Reader.  Alexander  taught  school  while  working  on  his  law 
degree  and  opened  a law  office  in  Cincinnati  in  1839.  The  McGuffey  Readers  sold  over 
125, 000, 000  copies. 

McGuffey  became  a "roving"  teacher  at  the  age  of  14,  beginning  with  48  students  in  a one 
room  school  in  Calcutta,  Ohio.  The  size  of  the  class  was  just  one  of  several  challenges  faced 


181 


by  the  young  McGuffey.  In  many  one-teacher  schools,  children's  ages  varied  from  six  to 
twenty-one.  McGuffey  often  worked  1 1 hours  a day,  6 days  a week  in  a succession  of 
frontier  schools.  He  had  a remarkable  ability  to  memorize,  and  could  commit  to  mind  entire 
books  of  the  Bible. 

The  first  Reader  taught  reading  by  using  the  phonics  method,  the  identification  of  letters  and 
their  arrangement  into  words,  and  aided  with  slate  work.  The  second  Reader  came  into  play 
once  the  student  could  read,  and  helped  them  to  understand  the  meaning  of  sentences  while 
providing  vivid  stories  which  children  could  remember.  The  third  Reader  taught  the 
definitions  of  words,  and  was  written  at  a level  equivalent  to  the  modern  5th  or  6th  grade. 

The  fourth  Reader  was  written  for  the  highest  levels  of  ability  on  the  grammar  school  level, 
which  students  completed  with  this  book. 

McGuffey's  Readers  were  among  the  first  textbooks  in  America  that  were  designed  to 
become  progressively  more  challenging  with  each  volume.  They  used  word  repetition  in  the 
text  as  a learning  tool,  which  built  strong  reading  skills  through  challenging  reading. 
Sounding-out,  enunciation  and  accents  were  emphasized.  Colonial-era  texts  had  offered  dull 
lists  of  20  to  100  new  words  per  page  for  memorization.  In  contrast,  McGuffey  used  new 
vocabulary  words  in  the  context  of  real  literature,  gradually  introducing  new  words  and 
carefully  repeating  the  old. 

McGuffey  believed  that  teachers  should  study  the  lessons  as  well  as  their  students  and 
suggested  they  read  aloud  to  their  classes.  He  also  listed  questions  after  each  story  for  he 
believed  in  order  for  a teacher  to  give  instruction,  one  must  ask  questions.  The  Readers 
emphasized  spelling,  vocabulary,  and  formal  public  speaking,  which,  in  19th  century 
America,  was  a more  common  requirement  than  today. 

Henry  Ford  cited  McGuffey's  Readers  as  one  of  his  most  important  childhood 
influences.  He  was  an  avid  fan  of  McGuffey's  Readers  first  editions,  and  claimed  as  an 
adult  to  be  able  to  quote  from  McGuffey's  by  memory  at  great  length.  Ford  republished  all  six 
Readers  from  the  1857  edition,  and  distributed  complete  sets  of  them,  at  his  own  expense, 
to  schools  across  the  United  States. 

McGuffey's  Readers  contain  many  derogatory  references  to  ethnic  and  religious  minorities. 
For  example,  Native  Americans  are  referred  to  as  "savages".  There  are  those  who  regard 
the  references  in  the  book  to  the  Jews  and  Judaism  as  anti-Semitic.  For  instance,  in  Neil 
Baldwin's  Henry  Ford  and  the  Jews,  the  author  makes  the  case  that  Henry  Ford's  self- 
avowed  anti-Semitism  originated  with  his  study  of  McGuffey's  as  a schoolboy.  Baldwin  cites 
numerous  anti-semitic  references  to  Shylock  and  to  Jews  attacking  Jesus  and  Paul.  He  also 
quotes  the  Fourth  Reader  to  the  effect  that  ''Jewish  authors  were  incapable  of  the  diction 
and  strangers  to  the  morality  contained  in  the  gospel. " The  readers  further  characterize  Jews 
as  "Christ  killers"  and  labels  their  reverence  of  the  Old  Testament  as  "superstitious,"  and 
teach  that  Jews  have  been  rejected  by  God  for  being  "unfaithful". "

"Phonics  refers  to  an  instructional  method  for  teaching  children  to  read  English.  Phonics 
involves  teaching  children  to  connect  sounds  with  letters  or  groups  of  letters  (e.g.,  that  the

sound  /k/  can  be  represented  by  c,  k,  or  ck  spellings)  and  teaching  them  to  blend  the  sounds

"The  Encyclopaedia  Britannica  is  a general  English-language  encyclopaedia  published  by 
Encyclopaedia  Britannica,  Inc.,  a privately  held  company.  The  Britannica  has  a popular 
reputation  for  summarizing  all  of  human  knowledge.  To  further  their  education,  many  have 
devoted  themselves  to  reading  the  entire  Britannica,  taking  anywhere  from  three  to  22  years 
to  do  so.  When  Fat'h  AH  became  the  Shah  of  Persia  in  1 797,  he  was  given  a complete  set  of 
the  Britannica's  3rd  edition,  which  he  read  completely;  after  this  feat,  he  extended  his  royal 
title  to  include  " Most  Formidable  Lord  and  Master  of  the  Encyclopaedia  Britannica. " Writer 
George  Bernard  Shaw  claimed  to  have  read  the  complete  9th  edition — except  for  the 
science  articles — and  Richard  Evelyn  Byrd  took  the  Britannica  as  reading  material  for  his 
five-month  stay  at  the  South  Pole  in  1 934. 

The  articles  in  the  Britannica  are  aimed  at  educated  adult  readers,  and  written  by  a staff  of 
19  full-time  editors  and  over  4,000  expert  contributors.  It  is  widely  perceived  as  the  most 
scholarly  of  encyclopaedias.  Since  the  3rd  edition,  the  Britannica  has  enjoyed  a popular  and 
critical  reputation  for  general  excellence.  On  the  release  of  the  14th  edition,  Time  magazine 
dubbed  the  Britannica  the  "Patriarch  of  the  Library".  In  a related  advertisement,  naturalist 
William  Beebe  was  quoted  as  saying  that  the  Britannica  was  "beyond  comparison  because 
there  is  no  competitor. " References  to  the  Britannica  can  be  found  throughout  English 
literature,  most  notably  in  one  of  Arthur  Conan  Doyle's  favorite  Sherlock  Holmes  stories,

43  "...her  favorite  books  were  Alice's  Adventures  in  Wonderland ..." 

"Alice's  Adventures  in  Wonderland  (1865)  is  a work  of  literary  nonsense  written  by 
English  author  Charles  Lutwidge  Dodgson  under  the  pseudonym  Lewis  Carroll,  considered  a 
classic  example  of  the  genre  and  of  English  literature  in  general.  It  tells  the  story  of  a girl 
named  Alice  who  falls  down  a rabbit-hole  into  a fantastic  realm  populated  by  peculiar  and 
anthropomorphic  creatures.  The  tale  is  filled  with  allusions  to  Dodgson's  friends  (and 
enemies),  and  to  the  lessons  that  British  schoolchildren  were  expected  to  memorize.  The 
tale  plays  with  logic  in  ways  that  have  made  the  story  of  lasting  popularity  with  adults  as  well 
as  children.  It  is  considered  to  be  one  of  the  most  characteristic  examples  of  the  genre  of 
literary  nonsense,  and  its  narrative  course  and  structure  has  been  enormously  influential, 
mainly  in  the  fantasy  genre. "

44  "...Don  Quixote  de  la  Mancha..." 

"An  early  novel  written  by  Spanish  author  Miguel  de  Cervantes  Saavedra.  Cervantes  created 
a fictional  origin  for  the  story  based  upon  a manuscript  by  the  invented  Moorish  historian, 
Cide  Hamete  Benengeli.  The  work  was  published  in  two  volumes:  the  first  in  1605,  and  the 
second  in  1614. 


183 


The  protagonist,  Alonso  Quixano,  is  a country  gentleman  who  has  read  so  many  stories  of 
chivalry  that  he  descends  into  fantasy  and  becomes  convinced  he  is  a knight  errant. 
Together  with  his  earthy  squire  Sancho  Panza,  the  self-styled  "Don  Quixote  de  la  Mancha" 
sets  out  in  search  of  adventure.  The  "lady"  for  whom  Quixote  seeks  to  toil  is  Dulcinea  del 
Toboso,  an  imaginary  object  crafted  from  a neighboring  farm  girl  (her  real  name  is  Aidonza 
Lorenzo)  by  the  illusion-struck  "knight"  to  be  the  object  of  his  courtly  love.  "Dulcinea"  is 
totally  unaware  of  Quixote's  feelings  for  her,  nor  does  she  actually  appear  in  the  novel. 

Published  in  two  volumes  a decade  apart.  Don  Quixote  is  the  most  influential  work  of 
literature  to  emerge  from  the  Spanish  Golden  Age  and  perhaps  the  entire  Spanish  literary 
canon.  As  a founding  work  of  modern  Western  literature,  it  regularly  appears  at  or  near  the 
top  of  lists  of  the  greatest  works  of  fiction  ever  published  and  is  the  best-selling  non-religious, 
non-political  work  of  fiction  of  all  time. "

45  "...One  Thousand  and  One  Nights..." 

"One  Thousand  and  One  Nights  (Arabic:  ‘Ally  UJ  Ji#J»  jJi/JS  - kitab  'alf  laylah  wa-laylah; 
Persian:  »jlj  j jus  utv  - ezar-o  yak  sab)  is  a collection  of  stories  collected  over  thousands 
of  years  by  various  authors,  translators  and  scholars  in  various  countries.  These  collections 
of  tales  trace  their  roots  back  to  ancient  Arabia  and  Yemen,  ancient  India,  ancient  Persia 
(especially  the  Sassanid  Hazar  Afsan  Persian:  O1  j lit.  Thousand  Tales),  ancient 

Egypt,  ancient  Mesopotamian  Mythology,  ancient  Syria,  and  medieval  Arabic  folk  stories 
from  the  Caliphate  era.  Though  an  original  manuscript  has  never  been  found  several 
versions  date  the  collection's  genesis  to  somewhere  between  AD  800-900. 

The  main  frame  story  concerns  a Persian  king  and  his  new  bride.  The  king,  Shahryar,  upon 
discovering  his  former  wife's  infidelity  has  her  executed  and  then  declares  all  women  to  be 
unfaithful.  He  begins  to  marry  a succession  of  virgins  only  to  execute  each  one  the  next 
morning.  Eventually  the  vizier  cannot  find  any  more  virgins.  Scheherazade,  the  vizier's 
daughter,  offers  herself  as  the  next  bride  and  her  father  reluctantly  agrees.  On  the  night  of 
their  marriage,  Scheherazade  tells  the  king  a tale,  but  does  not  end  it.  The  king  is  thus 
forced  to  keep  her  alive  in  order  to  hear  the  conclusion.  The  next  night,  as  soon  as  she 
finishes  the  tale,  she  begins  (and  only  begins)  another.  So  it  goes  for  1,001  nights. 

The  tales  vary  widely:  they  include  historical  tales,  love  stories,  tragedies,  comedies,  poems, 
burlesques,  various  forms  of  erotica,  and  Muslim  religious  legends.  Numerous  stories  depict 
djinn,  magicians,  and  legendary  places,  which  are  often  intermingled  with  real  people  and 
geography;  the  historical  caliph  Harun  al-Rashid  is  a common  protagonist,  as  are  his  alleged 
court  poet  Abu  Nuwas  and  his  vizier,  Ja'far  al-Barmaki.  Sometimes  a character  in 
Scheherazade's  tale  will  begin  telling  other  characters  a story  of  his  own,  and  that  story  may 
have  another  one  told  within  it,  resulting  in  a richly-layered  narrative  texture. 

The  different  versions  have  different  individually  detailed  endings  (in  some  Scheherazade 
asks  for  a pardon,  in  some  the  king  sees  their  children  and  decides  not  to  execute  his  wife, 
in  some  other  things  happen  that  make  the  king  distracted)  but  they  all  end  with  the  king 
giving  his  wife  a pardon  and  sparing  her  life. 

The  narrator's  standards  for  what  constitutes  a cliffhanger  seem  broader  than  in  modern 
literature.  While  in  many  cases  a story  is  cut  off  with  the  hero  in  danger  of  losing  his  life  or 
another  kind  of  deep  trouble,  in  some  parts  of  the  full  text  Scheherazade  stops  her  narration

moral  stories  with  an  ethical  purpose.  The  Tale  of  the  Bull  and  the  Ass  and  the  linked  Tale  of 
the  Merchant  and  his  Wife  are  found  in  the  frame  stories  of  both  the  Jataka  and  the  Arabian

"Adventures  of  Huckleberry  Finn  (1884)  (often  shortened  to  Huck  Finn ) by  Mark  Twain.  The 
book  is  noted  for  its  innocent  young  protagonist,  its  colorful  description  of  people  and  places 
along  the  Mississippi  River,  and  its  sober  and  often  scathing  look  at  entrenched  attitudes, 
particularly  racism.  The  drifting  journey  of  Huckleberry  Finn  and  his  friend,  runaway  slave

47  "...  Gulliver's  Travels  ..." 

"Gulliver's  Travels  (1726,  amended  1735),  officially  Travels  into  Several  Remote  Nations  of 
the  World,  in  Four  Parts.  By  Lemuel  Gulliver,  First  a Surgeon,  and  then  a Captain  of  several 
Ships,  is  a novel  by  Jonathan  Swift  that  is  both  a satire  on  human  nature  and  a parody  of  the 
"travellers'  tales"  literary  sub-genre.  It  is  Swift's  best  known  full-length  work,  and  a classic  of 
English  literature.  The  book  became  tremendously  popular  as  soon  as  it  was  published 
(John  Gay  said  in  a 1726  letter  to  Swift  that  "it  is  universally  read,  from  the  cabinet  council  to 
the  nursery"),  and  it  is  likely  that  it  has  never  been  out  of  print  since  then.  The  book 
presents  itself  as  a simple  traveller's  narrative  with  the  disingenuous  title  Travels  into 
Several  Remote  Nations  of  the  World,  its  authorship  assigned  only  to  "Lemuel  Gulliver,  first 
a surgeon,  then  a captain  of  several  ships''."

48  "...Peter  Pan..." 

Peter  Pan  is  a character  created  by  Scottish  novelist  and  playwright  J.  M.  Barrie  (1860- 
1937).  A mischievous  boy  who  flies  and  magically  refuses  to  grow  up,  Peter  Pan  spends  his 
never-ending  childhood  adventuring  on  the  small  island  of  Neverland  as  the  leader  of  his 
gang  the  Lost  Boys,  interacting  with  fairies  and  pirates,  and  from  time  to  time  meeting 
ordinary  children  from  the  world  outside. 

Barrie  never  described  Peter's  appearance  in  detail,  leaving  much  of  it  to  the  imagination  of 
the  reader  and  the  interpretation  of  anyone  adapting  the  character.  He  describes  him  as  a 
beautiful  boy  with  a beautiful  smile,  "clad  in  skeleton  leaves  and  the  juices  that  flow  from 
trees". 


185 


Peter  is  mainly  an  exaggerated  stereotype  of  a boastful  and  careless  boy.  He  is  quick  to 
point  out  how  great  he  is.  Peter  has  a nonchalant,  devil-may-care  attitude,  and  is  fearlessly 
cocky  when  it  comes  to  putting  himself  in  danger.  Barrie  writes  that  when  Peter  thought  he 
was  going  to  die  on  Marooner's  Rock,  he  felt  scared,  yet  he  felt  only  one  shudder  run 
through  him  when  any  other  person  would've  felt  scared  up  until  death.  With  his  blissful 
unawareness  of  the  tragedy  of  death,  he  says,  "To  die  will  be  an  awfully  big  adventure". 

Peter's  archetypal  ability  is  his  refusal  to  grow  up.  Barrie  did  not  explain  how  he  was  able  to 
do  this,  leaving  the  implication  that  it  was  by  an  act  of  will. 

Peter  is  a skilled  swordsman,  with  the  skill  to  rival  even  Captain  Hook,  whose  hand  he  cut  off 
in  a duel.  He  has  remarkably  keen  vision  and  hearing.  Peter  Pan  is  said  to  be  able  to  do 
almost  anything.  Peter  has  an  effect  on  the  whole  of  Neverland  and  its  inhabitants  when  he 
is  there.  Barrie  states  that  the  island  wakes  up  when  he  returns  from  his  trip  to  London. 

Peter  is  the  leader  of  the  Lost  Boys,  a band  of  boys  who  were  lost  by  their  parents,  and 
came  to  live  in  Neverland.  He  is  friends  with  Tinker  Bell,  a common  fairy  who  is  often 
jealously  protective  of  him. "

"...The  Legend  of  Sleepy  Hollow... " 

"A  short  story  by  Washington  Irving  contained  in  his  collection  The  Sketch  Book  of  Geoffrey 
Crayon,  Gent.,  written  while  he  was  living  in  Birmingham,  England,  and  first  published  in 
1820.  With  Irving's  companion  piece  "Rip  Van  Winkle",  "The  Legend  of  Sleepy  Hollow"  is 
among  the  earliest  American  fiction  still  read  today. 

The  story  is  set  circa  1 790  in  the  Dutch  settlement  of  Tarry  Town,  New  York,  in  a secluded 
glen  called  Sleepy  Hollow.  It  tells  the  story  of  Ichabod  Crane,  a lanky  schoolmaster  from 
Connecticut,  who  competes  with  Abraham  "Brom  Bones"  Van  Brunt,  the  town  rowdy,  for  the 
hand  of  18-year-old  Katrina  Van  Tassel,  only  daughter  of  a wealthy  farmer.  As  Crane  leaves 
a party  at  the  Van  Tassel  home  on  an  autumn  night,  he  is  pursued  by  the  Headless 
Horseman,  supposedly  the  ghost  of  a Hessian  trooper  who  lost  his  head  to  a cannonball 
during  "some  nameless  battle " of  the  American  Revolutionary  War  and  who  "rides  forth  to 
the  scene  of  battle  in  nightly  quest  of  his  head. " Crane  disappears  from  town,  leaving  Katrina 
to  marry  Brom  Bones,  who  was  "to  look  exceedingly  knowing  whenever  the  story  of  Ichabod 
was  related. "

being  the  oldest  and  most  archaic  stage  preserved.  Dating  back  to  as  early  as  1500  BCE,

Vedic  Sanskrit  is  the  earliest  attested  Indo-Aryan  language,  and  one  of  the  earliest  attested 
members  of  the  Indo-European  language  family. 

The  corpus  of  Sanskrit  literature  encompasses  a rich  tradition  of  poetry  and  drama  as  well 
as  scientific,  technical,  philosophical  and  religious  texts.  Today,  Sanskrit  continues  to  be 
widely  used  as  a ceremonial  language  in  Hindu  religious  rituals  in  the  forms  of  hymns  and 
mantras.  Spoken  Sanskrit  is  still  in  use  in  a few  traditional  institutions  in  India,  and  there  are 
some  attempts  at  revival. 

The  scope  of  this  article  is  the  Classical  Sanskrit  language  as  laid  out  in  the  grammar  of 
Panini,  around  the  4th  century  BCE. "

- Editor's  Note:  (The  western  borders  of  Pakistan  include  the  Khyber  Pass  and  Bolan 
Pass,  traditional  invasion  routes  between  Central  Asia.  The  closest  civilization  using 
Sanskrit  at  the  date  and  nearest  the  location  of  "The  Domain  Base"  would  have  been  in  the 
foothills  of  the  Himalayas.  This  was  the  in  the  area  of  "Mehrgarh",  an  early  beginning  of  the 
Indus  Valley  civilization  which  has  been  recently  excavated.) 

"(Bolan  Pass  (Urdu:  ) is  a mountain  pass  through  the  Toba  Kakar  Range  of 

mountains  in  western  Pakistan,  120  kilometres  from  the  Afghanistan  border.  Strategically 
located,  traders,  invaders,  and  nomadic  tribes  have  also  used  it  as  a gateway  to  and  from 
the  South  Asia.) 

The  Khyber  Pass,  (also  spelled  Khaiber  or  Khaybar)  (Urdu:  ) (altitude: 

1,070  m , 3,510  ft)  is  the  mountain  pass  that  links  Pakistan  and  Afghanistan.  Throughout 
history  it  has  been  an  important  trade  route  between  Central  Asia  and  South  Asia  and  a 
strategic  military  location. 

"Mehrgarh  is  now  seen  as  a precursor  to  the  Indus  Valley  Civilization.  "Discoveries  at 
Mehrgarh  changed  the  entire  concept  of  the  Indus  civilization, " according  to  Ahmad  Hasan

have  the  whole  sequence,  right  from  the  beginning  of  settled  village  life.

Indus  valley.  This  area  of  rolling  hills  is  thus  located  on  the  western  edge  of  the  Indus  valley, 
where,  around  2500  BC,  a large  urban  civilization  emerged  at  the  same  time  as  those  of 
Mesopotamia  and  the  ancient  Egyptian  empire.  For  the  first  time  in  the  Indian  subcontinent, 
a continuous  sequence  of  dwelling-sites  has  been  established  from  7000  BC  to  500  BC.  The 
chalcolithic  people  of  Mehrgarh  also  had  contacts  with  contemporaneous  cultures  in

52  "...  they  reported  sighting  "vimanas"  or  space  craft  in  the  area.." 

"A  vimana  (Sanskrit:  fiBTRJ  is  a mythical  flying  machine,  described  in  the  Sanskrit  epics. 
The  predecessors  of  the  flying  vimanas  of  the  Sanskrit  epics  are  the  flying  chariots 
employed  by  various  gods  in  the  Vedas. 

The  first  flying  vimana  mentioned  in  Hindu  mythology: 

"The  Pushpaka  chariot  that  resembles  the  Sun  and  belongs  to  my  brother  was 
brought  by  the  powerful  Ravana:  that  aerial  and  excellent  car  going  everywhere  at 
will ....  that  car  resembling  a bright  cloud  in  the  sky ...  and  the  King  [Rama]  got  in, 
and  the  excellent  car  at  the  command  of  the  Raghira,  rose  up  into  the  higher 
atmosphere. ' 

The  Rigveda  does  not  mention  Vimanas,  but  verses  RV  1. 164.47-48  have  been  taken  as 
evidence  for  the  idea  of  "mechanical  birds": 

"Dark  the  descent:  the  birds  are  golden-coloured:  up  to  the  heaven  they  fly  robed  in 
the  waters. 

Again  descend  they  from  the  seat  of  Order,  and  all  the  earth  is  moistened  with  their 
fatness. " 

"Twelve  are  the  fellies,  and  the  wheel  is  single:  three  are  the  naves.  What  man  hath 
understood  it? 

Therein  are  set  together  spokes  three  hundred  and  sixty,  which  in  nowise  can  be 
loosened. " (trans.  Griffith) 

In  Dayananda  Saraswati's  "translation",  these  verses  become: 

"jumping  into  space  speedily  with  a craft  using  fire  and  water ...  containing  twelve 
stamghas  (pillars),  one  wheel,  three  machines,  300  pivots,  and  60  instruments. " 

But  likelier  in  the  original  Indian  symbolism  when  that  hymn  was  composed,  the  wheel  is  a 
year,  the  12  "fellies"  are  months  (lunations),  and  the  360  spokes  are  days. 

In  the  Ramayana,  the  pushpaka  ("flowery")  vimana  of  Ravana  is  described  as  follows: 

"The  Pushpaka  chariot  that  resembles  the  Sun  and  belongs  to  my  brother  was 
brought  by  the  powerful  Ravana:  that  aerial  and  excellent  car  going  everywhere  at 
will ....  that  car  resembling  a bright  cloud  in  the  sky ...  and  the  King  [Rama]  got  in, 
and  the  excellent  car  at  the  command  of  the  Raghira,  rose  up  into  the  higher 
atmosphere. ' 

It  is  the  first  flying  vimana  mentioned  in  Hindu  mythology  ("as  distinct  from  the  gods'  flying 
horse-drawn  chariots). 


188 


Pushpaka  was  originally  made  by  Maya  for  Kubera,  the  God  of  wealth,  but  was  later  stolen, 
along  with  Lanka,  by  his  half-brother,  the  demon  king  Ravana. 

One  example  is  that  the  Asura  Maya  had  a Vimana  measuring  twelve  cubits  in 
circumference,  with  four  strong  wheels.  Apart  from  'blazing  missiles',  the  poem  records  the 
use  of  other  deadly  weapons.  'Indra's  Dart'  (Indravajra)  operated  via  a circular  'reflector'. 
When  switched  on,  it  produced  a 'shaft  of  light'  which,  when  focused  on  any  target, 
immediately  'consumed  it  with  its  power'. 

In  one  exchange,  the  hero,  Krishna,  is  pursuing  his  enemy,  Salva,  in  the  sky,  when  Salva's 
Vimana,  the  Saubha,  is  made  invisible  in  some  way.  Undeterred,  Krishna  immediately  fires 
off  a special  weapon:  "I  quickly  laid  on  an  arrow,  which  killed  by  seeking  out  sound". 

Many  other  terrible  weapons  are  described  in  the  Mahabharata,  but  the  most  fearsome  of  all 
is  the  one  used  against  the  Vrishis.  The  narrative  records: 

"Gurkha  flying  in  his  swift  and  powerful  Vimana  hurled  against  the  three  cities  of  the 
Vrishnis  and  Andhakas  a single  projectile  charged  with  all  the  power  of  the  Universe. 
An  incandescent  column  of  smoke  and  fire,  as  brilliant  as  ten  thousands  suns,  rose 
in  all  its  splendour.  It  was  the  unknown  weapon,  the  Iron  Thunderbolt,  a gigantic 
messenger  of  death  which  reduced  to  ashes  the  entire  race  of  the  Vrishnis  and 
Andhakas. "

54  "...  I was  "outside"  of  my  body,  looking  down  from  the  ceiling..." 

"An  out-of-body  experience  (OBE),  is  an  experience  that  typically  involves  a sensation  of 
floating  outside  of  one's  body  and,  in  some  cases,  perceiving  one's  physical  body  from  a 
place  outside  one's  body  (autoscopy).  About  one  in  ten  people  has  reported  having  an  out- 
of-body  experience  at  some  time  in  their  lives.  It  is  claimed  that  those  experiencing  an  OBE 
sometimes  observe  details  which  were  unknown  to  them  beforehand. 

The  first  extensive  scientific  study  of  OBEs  was  made  by  Celia  Green  (1968).  She  collected 
written,  first-hand  accounts  from  a total  of  400  subjects,  recruited  by  means  of  appeals  in  the 
mainstream  media,  and  followed  up  by  questionnaire,  some  80%  reported  feeling  they  were 
a ‘disembodied  consciousness’,  with  no  external  body  at  all. 

Another  form  of  a spontaneous  OBE  occurs  during  a near  death  experience  (NDE).  The 
phenomenology  of  an  NDE  usually  includes  physiological,  psychological  and  transcendental 
factors  (Parnia,  Waller,  Yeates  & Fenwick,  2001)  such  as  impressions  of  being  outside  the 
physical  body  (an  out-of-body  experience),  Typically  the  experience  follows  a distinct 
progression,  starting  with  the  sensation  of  floating  above  one's  body  and  seeing  the 
surrounding  area. "

"Lightning  is  an  atmospheric  discharge  of  electricity,  which  typically  occurs  during 
thunderstorms,  and  sometimes  during  volcanic  eruptions  or  dust  storms.  The  leader  of  a bolt 
of  lightning  can  travel  at  speeds  of  60, 000  m/s,  and  can  reach  temperatures  approaching 
30,000  °C  (54,000  °F),  hot  enough  to  fuse  soil  or  sand  into  glass  channels.  There  are  over 
16  million  lightning  storms  every  year."

56  ...''electronic  wavelength"... 

"In  physics,  wavelength  is  the  distance  between  repeating  units  of  a propagating  wave  of  a 
given  frequency.  It  is  commonly  designated  by  the  Greek  letter  lambda  (A).  Examples  of 
wave-like  phenomena  are  light,  water  waves,  and  sound  waves.  In  a wave,  a property  varies 
with  the  position.  For  example,  this  property  can  be  the  air  pressure  for  a sound  wave,  or  the 
magnitude  of  the  electric  or  the  magnetic  field  for  light.  The  wavelengths  of  frequencies 
audible  to  the  human  ear  (20  Hz-20  kHz)  are  between  approximately  17  m and  17  mm, 
respectively.  Visible  light  ranges  from  deep  red,  roughly  700  nm  to  violet,  roughly  400  nm 
(430-750  THz).  For  other  examples,  see  electromagnetic  spectrum."

57  ..."space  opera"  civilization''... 

"It  was  not  until  the  1 920s  that  the  space  opera  proper  appeared  in  the  pulp  magazines 
Weird  Tales  and  Amazing  Stories.  Unlike  earlier  stories  of  space  adventure,  which  either 
related  the  invasion  of  Earth  by  extraterrestrials,  or  concentrated  on  the  invention  of  a space 
vehicle  by  a genius  inventor,  pure  space  opera  simply  took  space  travel  for  granted  (usually 
by  setting  the  story  in  the  far  future),  skipped  the  preliminaries,  and  launched  straight  into 
tales  of  derring-do  among  the  stars. 

The  first  stories  of  this  type  were  J.  Schlossel's  The  Second  Swarm  (Spring  1928)  in 
Amazing  Stories  Quarterly  and  Edmond  Hamilton's  Crashing  Suns  (August-September 
1928 ) and  The  Star  Stealers  (February  1929)  in  Weird  Tales  . Similar  stories  by  other  writers 
followed  through  1929  and  1930;  by  1931  the  space  opera  was  well-established  as  a 
dominant  sub-genre  of  science  fiction. 

The  transition  from  the  older  space-voyage  story  to  the  space  opera  can  be  seen  in  the 
works  of  E.  E.  "Doc"  Smith.  His  first  published  work,  The  Skylark  of  Space  (August-October 
1928,  Amazing  Stories),  merges  the  traditional  tale  of  a scientist  inventing  a space-drive  with 
planetary  romance  in  the  style  of  Edgar  Rice  Burroughs;  but  by  the  time  of  the  sequel, 
Skylark  Three  (August-October  1930,  Amazing  Stories)  which  introduces  the  space  faring 
race  of  the  Fenachrone,  Smith  had  moved  closer  to  a space  opera  mode. 

Space  opera  in  its  most  familiar  form  was  a product  of  1930s-40s  pulp  magazines.  Like  early 
science  fiction  in  general,  space  opera  borrowed  much  of  its  style  from  established 
adventure,  crime,  and  thriller  genres.  Notable  influences  included  stories  that  described 
adventures  on  exotic  or  uncivilized  frontiers,  e.g.  the  American  West,  Africa,  or  the  Orient. 


190 


The  imagined  future  of  space  opera  included  immense  space  liners,  intrepid  explorers  of 
unknown  worlds,  pirates  of  the  space  ways,  and  tough  but  incorruptible  space  police. 

E.  E.  "Doc"  Smith's  later  Lensman  Series  and  the  works  of  Edmond  Hamilton,  John  W. 
Campbell,  and  Jack  Williamson  in  the  1930s  and  1940s  were  popular  with  readers  and  much 
imitated  by  other  writers.  By  the  early  1 940s,  the  repetitiousness  and  extravagance  of  some 
of  these  stories  led  to  objections  from  some  fans. "

58  "...1493  AD  --  "The  Requirement"... 

"The  Requirement  was  published  as  a papal  "bull",  issued  by  the  infamous  Pope  Alexander 
VI,  (Rodrigo  Borgia),  Roman  Catholic  Pope  from  1492  until  his  death,  is  the  most  memorable 
of  the  Popes  of  the  Renaissance. 

Because  of  the  pre-existence  of  millions  of  people  living  in  the  Americas  in  1493,  the  King  of 
Spain,  had  a small  twinge  of  fear  at  the  prospect  that  God  might  become  angry  at  him  for  all 
the  murder,  theft  and  mayhem  he  endorsed  in  the  New  World.  So,  he  persuaded  Pope 
Alexander  VI  to  sanction  an  official  proclamation  intended  to  dissolve  the  stain  of  bloody 
culpability  from  the  King's  own  immortal  soul.  This  document,  called  "The  Requirement", 
was  supposed  to  be  read,  whether  translated  into  the  native  language  of  the  inhabitants  or 
not,  to  the  citizens  of  every  foreign  nation  just  prior  to  their  conquest.  The  gist  of  the 
proclamation  was  to  inform  the  soon  to  be  vanquished  that  their  lands  were  being  " donated " 
to  Spain. 

The  Requirement  read,  in  part: 

"I,  (name  of  the  Conquistador),  servant  of  the  high  and  mighty  Kings  of  Castile  and 
Leon,  conquerors  of  barbarian  peoples,  and  being  their  messenger  and  Captain,  hereby 
notify  and  inform  you  ...  that  God  Our  Lord,  One  and  Eternal,  created  Heaven  and  Earth  and 
a man  and  a woman  from  whom  you  and  I and  all  the  multitude  begotten  from  these  over  the 
past  five  thousand  and  some  years  since  the  world  was  made  ...  And  so  I request  and 
require  you  ...to  recognize  the  Church  as  your  Mistress  and  as  Governess  of  the  World  and 
Universe,  and  the  High  Priest,  called  the  Pope,  in  Her  name,  and  His  Majesty  (the  King  of 
Spain)  in  Her  place,  as  Ruler  and  Lord  King  ...  And  if  you  do  not  do  this  ...  with  the  help  of 
God  I shall  come  mightily  against  you,  and  I shall  make  war  on  you  everywhere  and  in  every 
way  that  I can,  and  I shall  subject  you  to  the  yoke  and  obedience  of  the  Church  and  His 
Majesty,  and  I shall  seize  your  women  and  children,  and  I shall  make  them  slaves,  to  sell 
and  dispose  of  as  His  Majesty  commands,  and  I shall  do  all  the  evil  and  damage  to  you  that  I 
am  able.  And  I insist  that  the  deaths  and  destruction  that  result  from  this  will  be  your  fault. " 

One  of  the  first  to  hear  The  Requirement  were  the  chiefs  of  the  Maya,  whose  scale  of  time 
for  the  creation  of  life  on  Earth  did  not  begin  a mere  5,000  years  earlier,  as  suggested  by  the 
Pope,  rather  the  Mayan  measured  original  creation  in  millions  of  years  by  the  astronomical 
calendars  they  kept,  which  tracked  the  solar  year  accurately  to  within  a few  seconds  a year. 
Their  comment  upon  hearing  The  Requirement  was,  "The  Holy  Father  has  indeed  been 
generous  with  others'  property". 

The  Requirement  was  originally  intended  as  a response  to  complaints  by  Spanish  clerics 
that  the  wars  against  the  Native  American  peoples  were  unjust.  Comparing  them  to  Spain's 
wars  against  the  Moors,  the  clerics  claimed  that  Muslims  had  knowledge  of  Christ  and 
rejected  Him,  so  that  waging  a Crusade  against  them  was  legitimate.  In  contrast,  wars 


191 


against  the  Native  Americans,  who  had  never  come  into  contact  with  Christianity  were 
unacceptable.  The  Requirement  was  intended  as  a legal  loophole  to  place  the  native 
population  in  the  position  of  having  rejected  Christianity.  It  stated:  "We  protest  that  any 
deaths  that  result  from  this  [rejection  of  Christianity]  are  your  fault..." 

Many  critics  of  the  conquistadors'  policies  were  appalled  by  the  flippant  nature  of  the 
Requirement,  and  the  priest,  Bartolomeo  de  Las  Casas,  said  in  response  to  it  that  he  did  not 
know  whether  to  laugh  or  to  cry.  While  the  conquistadors  were  encouraged  to  use  an 
interpreter  to  read  the  Requirement,  this  was  not  absolutely  necessary,  and  in  many  cases,  it 
was  read  out  to  an  uncomprehending  populace.  In  some  instances,  it  was  read  to  barren 
beaches  and  empty  villages,  long  after  the  natives  had  fled,  to  prisoners  after  they  were 
captured,  or  even  from  the  decks  of  ships  once  they  had  just  spotted  the  coast. 

Nevertheless,  for  the  conquistadors,  it  provided  a religious  justification  for  attacking  and 
enslaving  the  native  population,  and  because  of  its  potential  to  enrich  the  coffers  of  Spain, 
the  Requirement  was  not  generally  questioned. "

around  as  long  as  any  other  continent,  and  had  a larger  population  than  Europe,  was  as

were  killed  by  disease  and  war  brought  upon  them  by  "aliens"  3)  100  million  people  from  the

all  of  the  priceless  literature,  history,  cultural  and  artistic  artifacts  of  the  Western  hemisphere 
were  destroyed  5)  most  of  the  gold  and  gems  mined  over  a period  of  thousands  of  years  by

filthy,  disease-ridden,  superstitious,  murderous,  thieves  in  Europe  who  squandered  it  on

Did  Apollo  1 1 Encounter  UFOs  on  the  Moon?  from  the  Book  ", Above  Top  Secret"  by  Timothy 
Good. 


192 


According  to  hitherto  unconfirmed  reports,  both  Neil  Armstrong  and  Edwin  "Buzz"  Aldrin  saw 
UFOs  shortly  after  their  historic  landing  on  the  Moon  in  Apollo  11  on  21  July  1969.  I 
remember  hearing  one  of  the  astronauts  refer  to  a "light"  in  or  on  a carter  during  the 
television  transmission,  followed  by  a request  from  mission  control  for  further  information. 
Nothing  more  was  heard. 

According  to  a former  NASA  employee  Otto  Binder,  unnamed  radio  hams  with  their  own 
VHF  receiving  facilities  that  bypassed  NASA's  broadcasting  outlets  picked  up  the  following 
exchange: 

NASA:  What's  there?  Mission  Control  calling  Apollo  11... 

Apollo:  These  "Babies"  are  huge,  Sir!  Enormous!  OH  MY  GOD!  You  wouldn't  believe  it!  I'm 
telling  you  there  are  other  spacecraft  out  there,  lined  up  on  the  far  side  of  the  crater  edge! 
They're  on  the  Moon  watching  us! 

In  1979,  Maurice  Chatelain,  former  chief  of  NASA  Communications  Systems  confirmed  that 
Armstrong  had  indeed  reported  seeing  two  UFOs  on  the  rim  of  a crater.  "The  encounter  was 
common  knowledge  in  NASA, " he  revealed,  "but  nobody  has  talked  about  it  until  now. " 

Soviet  scientists  were  allegedly  the  first  to  confirm  the  incident.  "According  to  our 
information,  the  encounter  was  reported  immediately  after  the  landing  of  the  module, " said 
Dr.  Vladimir  Azhazha,  a physicist  and  Professor  of  Mathematics  at  Moscow  University.  "Neil 
Armstrong  relayed  the  message  to  Mission  Control  that  two  large,  mysterious  objects  were 
watching  them  after  having  landed  near  the  moon  module.  But  his  message  was  never 
heard  by  the  public-because  NASA  censored  it.  " 

According  to  another  Soviet  scientist,  Dr.  Aleksandr  Kazantsev,  Buzz  Aldrin  took  color  movie 
film  of  the  UFOs  from  inside  the  module,  and  continued  filming  them  after  he  and  Armstrong 
went  outside.  Dr.  Azhazha  claims  that  the  UFOs  departed  minutes  after  the  astronauts  came 
out  on  to  the  lunar  surface. 

Maurice  Chatelain  also  confirmed  that  Apollo  11's  radio  transmissions  were  interrupted  on 
several  occasions  in  order  to  hide  the  news  from  the  public.  Before  dismissing  Chatelain's 
sensational  claims,  it  is  worth  noting  his  impressive  background  in  the  aerospace  industry 
and  space  program.  His  first  job  after  moving  from  France  was  as  an  electronics  engineer 
with  Convair,  specializing  in  telecommunications,  telemetry,  and  radar.  In  1959  he  was  in 
charge  of  an  electromagnetic  research  group,  developing  new  radar  and 
telecommunications  systems  for  Ryan.  One  of  his  eleven  patents  was  an  automatic  flights  to 
the  Moon.  Later,  at  North  American  Aviation,  Chatelain  was  offered  the  job  of  designing  and 
building  the  Apollo  communications  and  data-processing  systems. 

Chatelain  claims  that  "all  Apollo  and  Gemini  flights  were  followed,  both  at  a distance  and 
sometimes  also  quite  closely,  by  space  vehicles  of  extraterrestrial  origin-flying  saucers,  or 
UFOs,  if  you  want  to  call  them  by  that  name.  Every  time  it  occurred,  the  astronauts  informed 
Mission  Control,  who  then  ordered  absolute  silence. " He  goes  on  to  say: 

"I  think  that  Walter  Schirra  aboard  Mercury  8 was  the  first  of  the  astronauts  to  use  the  code 
name  'Santa  Claus'  to  indicate  the  presence  of  flying  saucers  next  to  space  capsules. 
However,  his  announcements  were  barely  noticed  by  the  general  public. 


193 


It  was  a little  different  when  James  Lovell  on  board  the  Apollo  8 command  module  came  out 
from  behind  the  moon  and  said  for  everybody  to  hear: 

'PLEASE  BE  INFORMED  THAT  THERE  IS  A SANTA  CLAUS.' 

Even  though  this  happened  on  Christmas  Day  1968.  many  people  sensed  a hidden  meaning 
in  those  words. " 

Rumors  persist.  NASA  may  well  be  a civilian  agency,  but  many  of  its  programs  are  funded 
by  the  defense  budget  and  most  of  the  astronauts  are  subject  to  military  security  regulations. 
Apart  from  the  fact  that  the  National  Security  Agency  screens  all  films  and  probably  radio 
communications  as  well.  We  have  the  statements  by  Otto  Binder,  Dr.  Garry  Henderson  and 
Maurice  Chatelain  that  the  astronauts  were  under  strict  orders  not  to  discuss  their  sightings. 
And  Gordon  Cooper  has  testified  to  a United  Nations  committee  that  one  of  the  astronauts 
actually  witnessed  a UFO  on  the  ground.  If  there  is  no  secrecy,  why  has  this  sighting  not 
been  made  public? 

A certain  professor,  who  wished  to  remain  anonymous,  was  engaged  in  a discussion  with 
Neil  Armstrong  during  a NASA  symposium. 

Professor:  What  REALLY  happened  out  there  with  Apollo  11? 

Armstrong:  It  was  incredible,  of  course  we  had  always  known  there  was  a possibility,  the  fact 
is,  we  were  warned  off!  (by  the  Aliens).  There  was  never  any  question  then  of  a space 
station  or  a moon  city. 

Professor:  How  do  you  mean  "warned  off"? 

Armstrong:  I can't  go  into  details,  except  to  say  that  their  ships  were  far  superior  to  ours  both 
in  size  and  technology  - Boy,  were  they  big!...  and  menacing!  No,  there  is  no  question  of  a 
space  station. 

Professor:  But  NASA  had  other  missions  after  Apollo  11? 

Armstrong:  Naturally-NASA  was  committed  at  that  time,  and  couldn't  risk  panic  on  Earth.  But 
it  really  was  a quick  scoop  and  back  again. 

Armstrong  confirmed  that  the  story  was  true  but  refused  to  go  into  further  detail,  beyond 
admitting  that  the  CIA  was  behind  the  cover-up. 

Reasonable  activity  of  an  alien  civilization  showed  up  unexpectedly  close  to  us.  We  were  not 
ready  for  it  psychologically 

We  still  can  come  across  publications  trying  to  find  an  answer  to  the  question:  Are  we  alone 
in  the  universe?  At  the  same  time,  presence  of  reasonable  creatures  has  been  detected  just 
close  to  our  home,  in  the  Moon.  However,  the  discovery  was  immediately  classified  as 
secret,  as  it  was  so  much  incredible  that  even  could  shake  the  already  existing  social 
principles,  reports  Russia's  newspaper  "Vecherny  Volgograd." 

Here  is  an  extract  from  the  official  press-release: 


194 


“ NASA  scientists  and  engineers  participating  in  exploration  of  Mars  and  Moon  reported 
results  of  their  discoveries  at  a briefing  at  the  Washington  national  press  club  on  March  21, 
1996.  It  was  announced  for  the  first  time  that  man-caused  structures  and  objects  had  been 
discovered  on  the  Moon.  ” The  scientists  spoke  rather  cautiously  and  evasively  about  the 
functioning  objects,  with  the  exception  of  UFO.  They  always  mentioned  the  man-caused 
objects  as  possible,  and  pointed  out  the  information  was  still  under  study,  and  official  results 
would  be  published  later. 

It  was  mentioned  at  the  briefing  as  well  that  the  Soviet  Union  used  to  own  some  photo 
materials  proving  presence  of  reasonable  activity  on  the  Moon.  And  although  it  wasn't 
identified  what  kind  of  reasonable  activity  it  was,  thousands  of  photo-and  video  materials 
photographed  from  the  Apollo  and  the  Clementine  space  station  demonstrated  many  parts 
on  the  lunar  surface  where  the  activity  and  its  traces  were  perfectly  evident.  The  video  films 
and  photos  made  by  U.S.  astronauts  during  the  Apollo  program  were  demonstrated  at  the 
briefing.  And  people  were  extremely  surprised  why  the  materials  hadn't  been  presented  to 
the  public  earlier.  And  NASA  specialists  answered:  “It  was  difficult  to  forecast  the  reaction  of 
people  to  the  information  that  some  creatures  had  been  or  still  were  on  the  Moon.  Besides, 
there  were  some  other  reasons  to  it,  which  were  beyond  NASA.’’ 

Specialist  for  lunar  artifacts  Richard  Hoagland  says  that  NASA  is  still  trying  to  veil  photo 
materials  before  they  are  published  in  public  catalogues  and  files,  they  do  retouching  or 
partially  refocus  them  while  copying.  Some  investigators,  Hoagland  is  among  them,  suppose 
that  an  extraterrestrial  race  had  used  the  Moon  as  a terminal  station  during  their  activity  on 
the  Earth.  The  suggestions  are  confirmed  by  the  legends  and  myths  invented  by  different 
nations  of  our  planet. 

Ruins  of  lunar  cities  stretched  along  many  kilometers,  huge  transparent  domes  on  massive 
basements,  numerous  tunnels  and  other  constructions  make  scientists  reconsider  their 
opinions  concerning  the  lunar  problems.  How  the  Moon  appeared  and  principles  of  its 
revolving  around  the  Earth  still  pose  a great  problem  for  scientists. 

Some  partially  destroyed  objects  on  the  lunar  surface  can’t  be  placed  among  natural 
geological  formations,  as  they  are  of  complex  organization  and  geometrical  structure.  In  the 
upper  part  of  Rima  hadley,  not  far  from  the  place  where  the  Apollo- 15  had  landed,  a 
construction  surrounded  with  a tall  D-shaped  wall  was  discovered,  ,4s  of  now,  different 
artifacts  have  been  discovered  in  44  regions. 

The  NASA  Goddard  Space  Flight  Center,  the  Houston  Planetary  Institute  and  specialists 
from  the  bank  of  space  information  are  investigating  the  regions.  Mysterious  terrace-shaped 
excavations  of  the  rock  have  been  discovered  near  the  Tiho  crater.  The  concentric 
hexahedral  excavations  and  the  tunnel  entry  at  the  terrace  side  cant  be  results  of  natural 
geological  processes:  instead,  they  look  very  much  like  open  cast  mines. 

A transparent  dome  raised  above  the  crater  edge  was  discovered  near  the  crater 
Copernicus.  The  dome  is  unusual  as  it  is  glowing  white  and  blue  from  inside.  A rather 
unusual  object,  which  is  unusual  indeed  even  for  the  Moon,  was  discovered  in  the  upper  part 
of  the  Factory  area.  A disk  of  about  50  meters  in  diameter  stands  on  a square  basement 
surrounded  with  rhombi  walls.  In  the  picture,  close  to  the  rhombi,  we  can  also  see  a dark 
round  embrasure  in  the  ground,  which  resembles  an  entry  in  an  underground  caponier. 

There  is  a regular  rectangular  area  between  Factory  and  the  crater  Copernicus  which  is  300 
meters  wide  400  meters  long. 


195 


Apollo  10  astronauts  made  a unique  picture  (AS1 0-32-4822)  of  a one-mile  long  object  called 
Castle,  which  is  hanging  at  the  height  of  14  kilometers  and  casts  a distinct  shadow  on  the 
lunar  surface.  The  object  seems  to  be  consisting  of  several  cylindrical  units  and  a large 
conjunctive  unit.  Internal  porous  structure  of  the  Castle  is  clearly  seen  in  one  of  the  pictures, 
which  makes  an  impression  that  some  parts  of  the  object  are  transparent. 

/4s  it  turned  out  at  the  briefing  where  many  NASA  scientists  were  present,  when  Richard 
Hoagland  had  requested  originals  of  the  Castle  pictures  for  the  second  time,  no  pictures 
were  found  there  at  all.  They  disappeared  even  from  the  list  of  pictures  made  by  the  Apollo 
10  crew.  Only  intermediate  pictures  of  the  object  were  found  in  the  archives,  which 
unfortunately  don't  depict  the  internal  structure  of  the  object. 

When  Apollo-12  crew  landed  on  the  lunar  surface,  they  saw  that  the  landing  was  observed 
by  a half-transparent  pyramidal  object.  It  was  hanging  just  several  meters  above  the  lunar 
surface  and  shimmered  with  all  rainbow  colors  against  the  black  sky. 

In  1969,  when  the  film  about  astronauts  traveling  to  the  Sea  of  Storms  was  demonstrated 
(the  astronauts  saw  the  strange  objects  once  again,  which  were  later  called  “striped 
glasses"),  NASA  finally  understood  what  consequences  such  kind  of  control  could  bring. 
Astronaut  Mitchell  answered  the  question  about  his  feelings  after  a successful  return  the 
following:  “My  neck  still  aches  as  I had  to  constantly  turn  my  head  around  because  we  felt 
we  were  not  alone  there.  We  had  no  choice  but  pray.  ” Johnston,  who  worked  at  the  Houston 
Space  Center  and  studied  photos  and  video  materials  done  during  the  Apollo  program, 
discussed  the  artifacts  with  Richard  Hoagland  and  said,  the  NASA  leadership  was  awfully 
annoyed  with  the  great  number  of  anomalous,  to  put  it  mildly,  objects  on  the  Moon.  It  was 
even  said  that  piloted  flights  to  the  Moon  could  be  banned  in  the  programs  network. 

Investigators  are  especially  interested  in  ancient  structures  resembling  partially  destroyed 
cities.  The  orbital  shooting  reveals  an  astonishingly  regular  geometry  of  square  and 
rectangular  constructions.  They  resemble  our  terrestrial  cities  seen  from  the  height  of  5-8 
kilometers.  A mission  control  specialist  commented  on  the  pictures:  “Our  guys  observed 
ruins  of  the  Lunar  cities,  transparent  pyramids,  domes  and  God  knows  what  else,  which  are 
currently  hidden  deep  inside  the  NASA  safes,  and  felt  like  Robinson  Crusoe  when  he 
suddenly  came  across  prints  of  human  bare  feet  on  the  sand  of  the  desert  island.  ’’  What  do 
geologists  and  scientists  say  after  studying  the  pictures  of  lunar  cities  and  other  anomalous 
objects?  They  say,  such  objects  can't  be  natural  formations.  “We  should  admit  they  are 
artificial,  especially  the  domes  and  pyramids.  ” Reasonable  activity  of  an  alien  civilization 
showed  up  unexpectedly  close  to  us.  We  were  not  ready  for  it  psychologically,  and  some 
people  hardly  believe  they  are  true  even  now. "

60  "...  synthesized  from  gypsum..." 

" Gypsum  is  a common  mineral,  with  thick  and  extensive  evaporite  beds  in  association  with 
sedimentary  rocks.  Deposits  are  known  to  occur  in  strata  from  as  early  as  the  Permian  age. 
Gypsum  is  deposited  in  lake  and  sea  water,  as  well  as  in  hot  springs,  from  volcanic  vapors, 
and  sulfate  solutions  in  veins.  Hydrothermal  anhydrite  in  veins  is  commonly  hydrated  to 


196 


gypsum  by  groundwater  in  near  surface  exposures.  It  is  often  associated  with  the  minerals 
halite  and  sulfur. 

The  word  gypsum  is  derived  from  the  aorist  form  of  the  Greek  verb  paysipsucj,  "to  cook", 
referring  to  the  burnt  or  calcined  mineral.  Because  the  gypsum  from  the  quarries  of  the 
Montmartre  district  of  Paris  has  long  furnished  burnt  gypsum  used  for  various  purposes,  this 
material  has  been  called  plaster  of  Paris.  It  is  also  used  in  foot  creams,  shampoos  and  many 
other  hair  products. 

Because  gypsum  dissolves  over  time  in  water,  gypsum  is  rarely  found  in  the  form  of  sand. 
However,  the  unique  conditions  of  the  White  Sands  National  Monument  in  the  US  state  of 
New  Mexico  have  created  a 710  km2  (275  sq  mile)  expanse  of  white  gypsum  sand,  enough 
to  supply  the  construction  industry  with  drywall  for  1,000  years. "

61  "...  electromagnetic  force...” 

"In  physics,  the  Lorentz  force  is  the  force  on  a point  charge  due  to  electromagnetic  fields. 
Lorentz  introduced  this  force  in  1 892.  However,  the  discovery  of  the  Lorentz  force  was 
before  Lorentz's  time.  In  particular,  it  can  be  seen  at  equation  (77)  in  Maxwell's  1861  paper 
On  Physical  Lines  of  Force.  Later,  Maxwell  listed  it  as  equation  "D"  of  his  1864  paper,  A 
Dynamical  Theory  of  the  Electromagnetic  Field,  as  one  of  the  eight  original  Maxwell's 
equations.  In  this  paper  the  equation  was  written  as  follows: 


E = v x (/<H)  - - V0 


where 


A is  the  magnetic  vector  potential, 
ip  is  the  electrostatic  potential, 

H is  the  magnetic  field  H, 
p is  magnetic  permeability. 

Although  this  equation  is  obviously  a direct  precursor  of  the  modem  Lorentz  force  equation, 
it  actually  differs  in  two  respects: 

• It  does  not  contain  a factor  of  q,  the  charge.  Maxwell  didn't  use  the  concept  of 
charge.  The  definition  of  E used  here  by  Maxwell  is  unclear.  He  uses  the  term 
electromotive  force.  He  operated  from  Faraday's  electro-tonic  state  A.  which  he 
considered  to  be  a momentum  in  his  vortex  sea.  The  closest  term  that  we  can  trace 
to  electric  charge  in  Maxwell's  papers  is  the  density  of  free  electricity,  which  appears 
to  refer  to  the  density  of  the  aethereal  medium  of  his  molecular  vortices  and  that 
gives  rise  to  the  momentum  A.  Maxwell  believed  that  A was  a fundamental  quantity 
from  which  electromotive  force  can  be  derived. 

• The  equation  here  contains  the  information  that  what  we  nowadays  call  E,  which 
today  can  be  expressed  in  terms  of  scalar  and  vector  potentials  according  to 


197 


The  fact  that  E can  be  expressed  this  way  is  equivalent  to  one  of  the  four  modern 
Maxwell's  equations,  the  Maxwell-Faraday  equation. 

Despite  its  historical  origins  in  the  original  set  of  eight  Maxwell's  equations,  the  Lorentz  force 
is  no  longer  considered  to  be  one  of  "Maxwell's  equations"  as  the  term  is  currently  used  (that 
is,  as  reformulated  by  Heaviside).  It  now  sits  adjacent  to  Maxwell's  equations  as  a separate 
and  essential  law. 

Significance  of  the  Lorentz  force 

While  the  modern  Maxwell's  equations  describe  how  electrically  charged  particles  and 
objects  give  rise  to  electric  and  magnetic  fields,  the  Lorentz  force  law  completes  that  picture 
by  describing  the  force  acting  on  a moving  point  charge  q in  the  presence  of  electromagnetic 
fields.  The  Lorentz  force  law  describes  the  effect  of  E and  B upon  a point  charge,  but  such 
electromagnetic  forces  are  not  the  entire  picture.  Charged  particles  are  possibly  coupled  to 
other  forces,  notably  gravity  and  nuclear  forces.  Thus,  Maxwell's  equations  do  not  stand 
separate  from  other  physical  laws,  but  are  coupled  to  them  via  the  charge  and  current 
densities.  The  response  of  a point  charge  to  the  Lorentz  law  is  one  aspect;  the  generation  of 
E and  B by  currents  and  charges  is  another. 

In  real  materials  the  Lorentz  force  is  inadequate  to  describe  the  behavior  of  charged 
particles,  both  in  principle  and  as  a matter  of  computation.  The  charged  particles  in  a 
material  medium  both  respond  to  the  E and  B fields  and  generate  these  fields.  Complex 
transport  equations  must  be  solved  to  determine  the  time  and  spatial  response  of  charges, 
for  example,  the  Boltzmann  equation  or  the  Fokker-Pianck  equation  or  the  Navier-Stokes 
equations.  For  example,  see  magnetohydrodynamics,  fluid  dynamics,  electrohydrodynamics, 
superconductivity,  stellar  evolution.  An  entire  physical  apparatus  for  dealing  with  these 
matters  has  developed.  See  for  example,  Green-Kubo  relations  and  Green's  function 
(many-body  theory). 

Although  one  might  suggest  that  these  theories  are  only  approximations  intended  to  deal 
with  large  ensembles  of  "point  particles",  perhaps  a deeper  perspective  is  that  the  charge- 
bearing particles  may  respond  to  forces  like  gravity,  or  nuclear  forces,  or  boundary 
conditions. "

63  "...points  of  origin  to  establish  age  and  duration." 

"So  far  scientists  have  not  found  a way  to  determine  the  exact  age  of  the  Earth  directly  from 
Earth  rocks  because  Earth's  oldest  rocks  have  been  recycled  and  destroyed  by  the  process 
of  plate  tectonics.  If  there  are  any  of  Earth's  primordial  rocks  left  in  their  original  state,  they 
have  not  yet  been  found.  Nevertheless,  scientists  have  been  able  to  determine  the  probable 
age  of  the  Solar  System  and  to  calculate  an  age  for  the  Earth  by  assuming  that  the  Earth 
and  the  rest  of  the  solid  bodies  in  the  Solar  System  formed  at  the  same  time  and  are, 
therefore,  of  the  same  age. 

The  ages  of  Earth  and  Moon  rocks  and  of  meteorites  are  measured  by  the  decay  of  long- 
lived  radioactive  isotopes  of  elements  that  occur  naturally  in  rocks  and  minerals  and  that 
decay  with  half  lives  of  700  million  to  more  than  100  billion  years  to  stable  isotopes  of  other 
elements.  These  dating  techniques,  which  are  firmly  grounded  in  physics  and  are  known 
collectively  as  radiometric  dating,  are  used  to  measure  the  last  time  that  the  rock  being 
dated  was  either  melted  or  disturbed  sufficiently  to  rehomogenize  its  radioactive  elements. "

66  "...  Tales  of  magic,  sorcery  and  enchantment,  fairy  tales  and  mythology  speak  of 
such  things..." 

Magic,  sometimes  known  as  sorcery,  is  a conceptual  system  that  asserts  human  ability  to 
control  the  natural  world  (including  events,  objects,  people,  and  physical  phenomena) 
through  mystical,  paranormal  or  supernatural  means.  The  term  can  also  refer  to  the 
practices  employed  by  a person  asserting  this  influence,  and  to  beliefs  that  explain  various 


199 


events  and  phenomena  in  such  terms.  In  many  cultures,  magic  is  under  pressure  from,  and 
in  competition  with,  scientific  and  religious  conceptual  systems. 


Adherents  to  magic  believe  that  it  may  work  by  one  or  more  of  the  following  basic  principles: 

• Natural  forces  that  cannot  be  detected  by  science  at  present,  and  in  fact  may  not 
be  detectable  at  all.  These  magical  forces  are  said  to  exist  in  addition  to  and 
alongside  the  four  fundamental  forces  of  nature:  gravity,  electromagnetism,  the 
strong  force  and  the  weak  force. 

• Intervention  of  spirits  similar  to  these  hypothetical  natural  forces,  but  with  their 
own  consciousness  and  intelligence.  Believers  in  spirits  will  often  describe  a whole 
cosmos  of  beings  of  many  different  kinds,  sometimes  organized  into  a hierarchy. 

Aleister  Crowley  preferred  the  spelling  magick,  defining  it  as  "the  science  and  art  of  causing

well  as  ritual  magic.  In  Magick  in  Theory  and  Practice,  Chapter  XIV,  Crowley  says: 

"What  is  a Magical  Operation?  It  may  be  defined  as  any  event  in  nature  which  is 
brought  to  pass  by  Will.  We  must  not  exclude  potato-growing  or  banking  from  our 
definition.  Let  us  take  a very  simple  example  of  a Magical  Act:  that  of  a man  blowing

67  "...they  will  capture  other  IS-BEs  as  slaves..." 

"The  word  slave  in  the  English  language  originates  from  the  Middle  English  sclave,  from  the 
Old  French  esclave,  the  Medieval  Latin  sclavus,  the  early  Greek  sklabos,  from  sklabenoi, 
Slavs,  of  Slavic  origin;  akin  to  Old  Russian  Slovene,  an  East  Slavic  tribe.  The  term  sclavus 
originally  referred  to  the  Slavs  of  Eastern  and  Central  Europe,  as  many  of  these  people  had 
been  captured  and  then  sold  as  slaves  by  Otto  the  Great  and  his  successors.  The  former 
Latin  word  for  "slave"  was  servus  (cf.  English  serf). 

The  evidence  for  slavery  predates  written  records.  It  can  be  found  in  almost  all  cultures  and 
continents.  Slavery  can  be  traced  to  the  earliest  records,  such  as  the  Code  of  Hammurabi  in 
Mesopotamia  (-1800  BC),  which  refers  to  slavery  as  an  already  established  institution.  In 
important  exception  occurred  under  the  reign  of  the  Achaemenid  Empire  in  Persia  in  5 00 
BC.  The  forced  labor  of  women  in  some  ancient  and  modern  cultures  may  also  be  identified 
as  slavery.  Slavery,  in  this  case,  includes  sexual  services. 

Historically,  most  slaves  were  captured  in  wars  or  kidnapped  in  isolated  raids,  but  some 
persons  were  sold  into  slavery  by  their  parents,  or  by  themselves,  as  a means  of  surviving 
extreme  conditions.  Most  slaves  were  born  into  that  status,  to  parents  who  were  enslaved. 
Ancient  Warfare  often  resulted  in  slavery  for  prisoners  and  their  families,  who  were  either 
killed,  ransomed  or  sold  as  slaves.  Captives  were  often  considered  the  property  of  those 
who  captured  them  and  were  looked  upon  as  a prize  of  war.  Slavery  may  originally  have 
been  more  humane  than  simply  executing  those  who  would  return  to  fight  if  they  were  freed, 
but  the  effect  led  to  widespread  enslavement  of  particular  groups  of  people.  Those  captured 
sometimes  differed  in  ethnicity,  nationality,  religion,  or  race  from  their  enslavers,  but  often 
were  the  same  as  the  captors.  The  dominant  group  in  an  area  might  take  captives  and  turn 
them  into  slaves  with  little  fear  of  suffering  the  like  fate.  The  possibility  always  existed  of 


200 


reversals  of  fortune,  as  when  Seneca  warned,  at  the  height  of  the  Roman  Empire,  when 
powerful  nations  fought  among  themselves,  anyone  might  find  himself  enslaved. "

70  "...  the  body  of  the  Archduke  of  Austria..." 

"Franz  Ferdinand  (December  18.  1863  - June  28,  1914)  was  an  Archduke  of  Austria-Este, 
Prince  Imperial  of  Austria  and  Prince  Royal  of  Hungary  and  Bohemia,  and  from  1896  until 
his  death,  heir  presumptive  to  the  Austro-Hungarian  throne.  His  assassination  in  Sarajevo 
precipitated  the  Austrian  declaration  of  war.  This  caused  countries  allied  with  Austria- 
Hungary  (the  Central  Powers)  and  countries  allied  with  Serbia  (the  Entente  Powers)  to 
declare  war  on  each  other,  starting  World  War  I. 

In  1889,  Franz  Ferdinand's  life  changed  dramatically.  His  cousin  Crown  Prince  Rudolf 
committed  suicide  at  his  hunting  lodge  in  Mayerling,  leaving  Franz  Ferdinand's  father, 
Archduke  Karl  Ludwig,  as  first  in  line  to  the  throne.  However  his  father  renounced  his 
succession  rights  a few  days  after  the  Crown  Prince's  death.  Henceforth.  Franz  Ferdinand 
was  groomed  to  succeed. 

On  June  28,  1914.  at  approximately  1 1:15  am,  Franz  Ferdinand  and  his  wife  were  killed  in 
Sarajevo,  the  capital  of  the  Austro-Hungarian  province  of  Bosnia  and  Herzegovina,  by 
Gavrilo  Princip,  a member  of  Young  Bosnia  and  one  of  several  (a  few)  assassins  organized 
by  The  Black  Hand  (UpHa  pyKa/Tsrna  Ruka).  The  event,  known  as  the  Assassination  in 
Sarajevo,  triggered  World  War  I. 

Franz  and  Sophie  had  previously  been  attacked  when  a bomb  was  thrown  at  their  car.  It 
missed  them,  but  many  civilians  were  injured.  Franz  and  Sophie  both  insisted  on  going  to 
see  all  those  injured  at  the  hospital.  As  a result  of  this,  Princip  saw  them  and  shot  Sophie  in 
the  abdomen.  Franz  was  shot  in  the  jugular  and  was  still  alive  when  witnesses  arrived  to  his 
aid,  but  it  was  too  late:  he  died  within  minutes. 

The  assassinations,  along  with  the  arms  race,  nationalism,  imperialism,  militarism,  and  the 
alliance  system  all  contributed  to  the  beginning  of  World  War  I,  which  began  less  than  two 
months  after  Franz  Ferdinand's  death,  with  Austria-Hungary's  declaration  of  war  against 
Serbia. "

71  ..."force  field"... 

"Originally  a term  coined  by  Michael  Faraday  to  provide  an  intuitive  paradigm,  but  theoretical 
construct,  for  the  behavior  of  electromagnetic  fields,  the  term  force  field  refers  to  the 
lines  of  force  one  object  (the  "source  object")  exerts  on  another  object  or  a collection 
of  other  objects.  An  object  might  be  a mass  particle  or  an  electric  or  magnetic 
charge,  for  example.  The  lines  do  not  have  to  be  straight,  in  the  Euclidean  geometry  case, 
but  may  be  curved.  Faraday  called  these  theoretical  connections  between  objects  lines  of 
force  because  the  objects  are  most  directly  connected  to  the  source  object  along  this  line. 


202 


Examples  of  force  fields: 


• A local  Newtonian  gravitational  field  near  Earth  ground  typically  consists  of  a uniform 
array  of  vectors  pointing  in  one  direction— downwards,  towards  the  ground:  its  force 
field  is  represented  by  the  Cartesian  vector , where  points  in  a direction  away  from 
the  ground,  and  m refers  to  the  mass,  and  g refers  to  the  acceleration  due  to  gravity. 

• A global  Gravitational  field  consists  of  a spherical  array  of  vectors  pointing  towards 
the  center  of  gravity.  Its  classical  force  field,  in  spherical  coordinates,  is  represented 
by  the  vector,  , which  is  just  Newton's  Law  of  Gravity,  with  the  radial  unit  vector 
pointing  towards  the  origin  of  the  sphere  (center  of  the  Earth). 

• A conservative  Electric  field  has  an  electric  charge  (or  a smeared  plum  pudding  of 
electric  charges)  as  its  source  object.  In  the  case  of  the  point  charges,  the  force  field 
is  represented  by , where  is  the  position  vector  that  represents  the  straightest  line 
between  the  source  charge  and  the  other  charge. 

• A static  Magnetic  field  has  a magnetic  charge  (a  magnetic  monopole  or  a charge 
distribution). 

• The  electromagnetic  force  is  given  by  the  Lorentz  force  formula,  which  in  SI  units  is,

72  "Electroshock..." 

"The  story  of  electric  shock  began  in  1938,  when  Italian  psychiatrist  Ugo  Cerletti  visited  a 
Rome  slaughterhouse  to  see  what  could  be  learned  from  the  method  that  was  employed  to 
butcher  hogs.  In  Cerletti's  own  words,  "As  soon  as  the  hogs  were  clamped  by  the  [electric] 
tongs,  they  fell  unconscious,  stiffened,  then  after  a few  seconds  they  were  shaken  by 
convulsions....  During  this  period  of  unconsciousness  (epileptic  coma),  the  butcher  stabbed 
and  bled  the  animals  without  difficulty.... 

"At  this  point  I felt  we  could  venture  to  experiment  on  man,  and  I instructed  my  assistants  to 
be  on  the  alert  for  the  selection  of  a suitable  subject. " 

Cerletti's  first  victim  was  provided  by  the  local  police  - a man  described  by  Cerletti  as  "lucid 
and  well-oriented. " After  surviving  the  first  blast  without  losing  consciousness,  the  victim 
overheard  Cerletti  discussing  a second  application  with  a higher  voltage.  He  begged  Cerletti, 
"Non  una  seconda!  Mortifierel"  ("Not  another  one!  It  will  kill  me!") 

Ignoring  the  objections  of  his  assistants,  Cerletti  increased  the  voltage  and  duration  and  fired 
again.  With  the  "successful"  electrically  induced  convulsion  of  his  victim,  Ugo  Cerletti 
brought  about  the  application  of  hog-slaughtering  skills  to  humans,  creating  one  of  the  most 
brutal  techniques  of  psychiatry. 

* Electric  shock  is  also  called  electro-convulsive  "therapy”  or  treatment  (ECT),  electroshock 
therapy  or  electric  shock  treatment  (EST),  electrostimulation,  and  electrolytic  therapy  (ELT). 
All  are  euphemistic  terms  for  the  same  process:  sending  a searing  blast  of  electricity  through 
the  brain  in  order  to  alter  behavior."  (Reference:  http://www.sntp.net/ect/ect3.htm) 

Today  Electroshock  therapy  (ECT)  is  most  often  used  as  a treatment  for  severe  major 
depression  which  has  not  responded  to  other  treatment,  and  is  also  used  in  the  treatment  of 
mania,  catatonia,  schizophrenia  and  other  disorders.  It  first  gained  widespread  use  as  a form 


203 


of  treatment  in  the  1940s  and  50s.  Today,  an  estimated  1 million  people  worldwide  receive 
ECT  every  year,  usually  in  a course  of  6-12  treatments  administered  2 or  3 times  a week. 

Electroconvulsive  therapy  has  "side-effects"  which  include  confusion  and  memory  loss  for 
events  around  the  time  period  of  treatment.  ECT  have  been  shown  to  cause  persistent 
memory  loss.  It  is  the  effects  of  ECT  on  long-term  memory  that  give  rise  to  much  of  the 
concern  surrounding  its  use.  The  acute  effects  of  ECT  include  amnesia. 

Registered  nurse  Barbara  C.  Cody  reports  in  a letter  to  the  Washington  Post  that  her  life 
"was  forever  changed  by  13  outpatient  ECTs  I received  in  1983.  Shock  'therapy'  totally  and 
permanently  disabled  me.  "EEGs  [electroencephalograms]  verify  the  extensive  damage 
shock  did  to  my  brain.  Fifteen  to  20  years  of  my  life  were  simply  erased;  only  small  bits 
and  pieces  have  returned.  I was  also  left  with  short-term  memory  impairment  and  serious 
cognitive  deficits.  "Shock  'therapy'  took  my  past,  my  college  education,  my  musical 
abilities,  even  the  knowledge  that  my  children  were,  in  fact,  my  children." 

Ernest  Hemingway,  American  author,  committed  suicide  shortly  after  Electric  Shock 
treatment  at  the  Menninger  Clinic  in  1961.  He  is  reported  to  have  said  to  his  biographer, 

"Well,  what  is  the  sense  of  ruining  my  head  and  erasing  my  memory,  which  is  my 
capital,  and  putting  me  out  of  business?  It  was  a brilliant  cure  but  we  lost  the 
patient...."

73  "...electric  voltage..." 

"The  general  public  may  consider  household  mains  circuits  (100-250  V AC),  which  carry  the 
highest  voltages  they  normally  encounter,  to  be  high  voltage.  For  example,  an  installer  of 
heating,  ventilation  and  air  conditioning  equipment  may  be  licensed  to  install  24  Volt  control 
circuits,  but  may  not  be  permitted  to  connect  the  240  volt  power  circuits  of  the  equipment. 

Voltages  over  approximately  50  volts  can  usually  cause  dangerous  amounts  of 
current  to  flow  through  a human  being  touching  two  points  of  a circuit. 

Voltages  of  greater  than  50  V are  capable  of  producing  heart  fibrillation  if  they  produce 
electric  currents  in  body  tissues  which  happen  to  pass  through  the  chest  area.  The 
electrocution  danger  is  mostly  determined  by  the  low  conductivity  of  dry  human  skin.  If  skin 
is  wet,  or  if  there  are  wounds,  or  if  the  voltage  is  applied  to  electrodes  which  penetrate  the 
skin,  then  even  voltage  sources  below  40  V can  be  lethal  if  contacted. "

74  "...Post  hypnotic  suggestions..." 

"The  ability  of  a human  to  be  induced  into  a form  of  behavior  or  thinking  pattern  after  coming 

out  of  the  hypnotic  state.  Post  hypnotic  suggestions  are  administered  by  the  hypnotist 
and  may  optionally  include  a time  scope.  An  altered  sense  of  perception  or  behavioral 
pattern  may  be  "programmed"  into  the  person  under  hypnosis.  Certain  sequences  of 
events  may  be  set  as  triggers  to  enter  or  exit  the  post-hypnotic  pattern.  The  behavior 
patterns  resemble  conditioned  reflexes,  though  administered  without  classical  behavior 
alteration  techniques. 


204 


Examples: 

Any  number,  color,  object,  etc.  may  be  induced  to  be  ignored  by  the  patient  after  full 
consciousness.  A certain  keyword  starts  the  suggestion  and  a different  word  ends  it.  The 
patient  will  not  know  nor  use  the  item  to  be  ignored.  He/she  may  state  that  the  sea  is 
colored  red,  if  suggested  to  ignore  the  color  blue.  A count  of  eleven  may  be  achieved  if 
asked  to  count  ones  fingers  if  a number  -say  5-  is  suggested  to  be  ignored.  Thus  the  patient 
counts  1-2-3-4-6-7-8-9-10-11 


Different  type  of  behavior  patterns  may  be  induced  such  as  forcing  the  patient  to  recite  a 
certain  sentence  whenever  anyone  says  out  loud  the  special  keyword.  The  patient  is 
fully  aware  of  the  conditioned  action  but  it  is  very  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  restrain  from 
doing  it.  Sweating,  loss  of  coordination  and  full  lack  of  concentration  plagues  the 
patient  until  he/she  performs  the  programmed  action. 

An  object  may  be  set  to  be  perceived  as  invisible  and  it  will  be  fully  ignored  and  evaded 
during  the  period  of  suggestion.  Experiments  may  be  performed  with  a coffee  mug,  induced 
to  be  invisible.  If  the  mug  is  put  on  top  of  a page  with  writing,  the  patient  will  only  read  the 
parts  not  covered  by  the  mug.  Even  though  the  sentences  may  make  no  sense,  nothing  is 
seemingly  wrong  to  the  suspected.  It  is  difficult  to  suggest  an  object  be  invisible,  yet  stay 
tactile.  Usually  the  object  is  completely  ignored  by  all  senses.  Thus,  the  mug  in  the 
example  will  reportedly  not  exist,  even  when  the  patient  is  touching  it. 

Stage  hypnotists  will  sometimes  perform  shows  in  which  they  hypnotize  participants  to  think 
they  are  some  celebrity  and  behave  exactly  like  them.  John  Mohl,  stage  hypnotist  and 
member  of  The  National  Guild  of  Hypnotists,  says  that  he  has  often  hypnotized  people  to 
become  someone  else!  Mohl  noticed  that  adults  often  became  a celebrity  while  Middle  or 
High  School  students  usually  become  something  much  more  creative  or  imaginative. "

75  "...  Untouchables..." 

"In  the  Indian  caste  system,  a Dalit,  often  called  an  untouchable,  or  an  outcaste,  is  a 
person  who  according  to  traditional  Hindu  belief  does  not  have  any  "varnas".  Varna  refers  to 
the  Hindu  belief  that  most  humans  were  supposedly  created  from  different  parts  of  the  body 
of  the  divinity  Purusha.  The  part  from  which  a varna  was  supposedly  created  defines  a 
person's  social  status  with  regard  to  issues  such  as  whom  they  may  marry  and  which 
professions  they  may  hold.  Dalits  fall  outside  the  varnas  system  and  have  historically  been 
prevented  from  doing  any  but  the  most  menial  jobs.  (However,  a distinction  must  be  made 
between  lower-caste  people  and  Pariahs.)  Included  are  leather-workers  (called  chamar), 
carcass  handlers  (called  mahar),poor  farmers  and  landless  labourers,  night  soil  scavengers 
(called  bhangi  or  chura),  street  handicrafters,  folk  artists,  street  cleaners,  dhobi,  etc. 

Traditionally,  they  were  treated  as  pariahs  in  South  Asian  society  and  isolated  in  their  own 
communities,  to  the  point  that  even  their  shadows  were  avoided  by  the  upper  castes. 
Discrimination  against  Dalits  still  exists  in  rural  areas  in  the  private  sphere,  in  ritual  matters 
such  as  access  to  eating  places  and  water  sources.  It  has  largely  disappeared,  however,  in 
urban  areas  and  in  the  public  sphere,  in  rights  of  movement  and  access  to  schools.  The 
earliest  rejection  of  discrimination,  at  least  in  spiritual  matters,  was  made  as  far  back  as  the 


205 


Bhagavada  Gita,  which  says  that  no  person,  no  matter  what,  is  barred  from  enlightenment 
There  are  an  estimated  160  million  Dalits  in  India. " 

Reference:  Wikipedia.org 

"Human  rights  abuses  against  these  people,  known  as  Dalits,  are  legion.  A random  sampling 
of  headlines  in  mainstream  Indian  newspapers  tells  their  story:  "Dalit  boy  beaten  to  death  for 
plucking  flowers";  "Dalit  tortured  by  cops  for  three  days";  "Dalit  'witch'  paraded  naked  in 
Bihar”;  "Dalit  killed  in  lock-up  at  Kurnool";  "7  Dalits  burnt  alive  in  caste  clash";  "5  Dalits 
lynched  in  Haryana";  "Dalit  woman  gang-raped,  paraded  naked";  "Police  egged  on  mob  to 
lynch  Dalits". 

"Dalits  are  not  allowed  to  drink  from  the  same  wells,  attend  the  same  temples,  wear  shoes  in 
the  presence  of  an  upper  caste,  or  drink  from  the  same  cups  in  tea  stalls, " said  Smita 
Narula,  a senior  researcher  with  Human  Rights  Watch,  and  author  of  Broken  People:  Caste 
Violence  Against  India's  "Untouchables." Human  Rights  Watch  is  a worldwide  activist 
organization  based  in  New  York.  India's  Untouchables  are  relegated  to  the  lowest  jobs,  and 
live  in  constant  fear  of  being  publicly  humiliated,  paraded  naked,  beaten,  and  raped  with 
impunity  by  upper-caste  Hindus  seeking  to  keep  them  in  their  place.  Merely  walking  through 
an  upper-caste  neighborhood  is  a life-threatening  offense.  Nearly  90  percent  of  all  the  poor 
Indians  and  95  percent  of  all  the  illiterate  Indians  are  Dalits. "

76  "...political  prisoners..." 

"A  political  prisoner  is  someone  held  in  prison  or  otherwise  detained,  perhaps  under  house 
arrest,  for  his/her  involvement  in  political  activity. 

political  prisoners  are  arrested  and  tried  with  a veneer  of  legality,  where  false  criminal 
charges,  manufactured  evidence,  and  unfair  trials  are  used  to  disguise  the  fact  that  an 
individual  is  a political  prisoner.  This  is  common  in  situations  which  may  otherwise  be 
decried  nationally  and  internationally  as  a human  rights  violation  and  suppression  of  a 
political  dissident.  A political  prisoner  can  also  be  someone  that  has  been  denied  bail 
unfairly,  denied  parole  when  it  would  reasonably  have  been  given  to  a prisoner  charged  with 
a comparable  crime,  or  special  powers  may  be  invoked  by  the  judiciary. 

Particularly  in  this  latter  situation,  whether  an  individual  is  regarded  as  a political  prisoner 
may  depend  upon  subjective  political  perspective  or  interpretation  of  the  evidence. 
Governments  typically  reject  assertions  that  they  hold  political  prisoners. 

Examples: 

In  the  Soviet  Union,  dubious  psychiatric  diagnoses  were  sometimes  used  to  confine 
political  prisoners.  In  Nazi  Germany,  "Night  and  Fog"  prisoners  were  among  the  first  victims 
of  fascist  repression.  In  North  Korea,  entire  families  are  jailed  if  one  family  member  is 
suspected  of  anti-government  sentiments. "

"In  addition,  a team  of  scientists  from  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  reported  at  the 
recent  annual  Lunar  and  Planetary  Science  Conference  in  Houston,  Texas,  that  images 
taken  by  NASA’s  Mars-orbiting  spacecraft  Mars  Odyssey  show  what  appear  to  be  cave 
entrances  where  primitive  life  forms  - “past  or  present  microbial  life ” - could  have  been 
sheltered,  and  where  water  could  exist  in  liquid  form. 

A more  detailed  perusal  of  the  report  reveals  that  the  spacecraft  actually  photographed,  in 
both  visual  and  infrared,  puzzling  dark  circular  structures  associated  with  these  caves  - 
structures  ranging  in  size  from  100  to  250  meters  (330  to  825  feet).  Picking  up  the  hardly- 
noticed  story  in  its  June  2007  issue,  the  prestigious  journal  Scientific  American  has  now 
provided  additional  information:  Seven  such  “football  size"  caverns  were  identified:  they  are 
425  feet  deep.  "

79  "...  mind  control..." 

"Mind  control  (or  "brainwashing”)  refers  to  a broad  range  of  psychological  tactics  able  to 
subvert  an  individual's  control  of  his  own  thinking,  behavior,  emotions,  or  decisions.  The 
concept  is  closely  related  to  hypnosis,  but  differs  in  practical  approach. 

William  Sargant  connected  Pavlov’s  findings  (the  Russian  researcher  who  experimented  on 
stimulus-response  mechanism  with  dogs)  to  the  ways  people  learned  and  internalized  belief 
systems.  Conditioned  behavior  patterns  could  be  changed  by  stimulated  stresses  beyond  a 
dog’s  capacity  for  response,  in  essence  causing  a breakdown.  This  could  also  be  caused  by 
intense  signals,  longer  than  normal  waiting  periods,  rotating  positive  and  negative  signals 
and  changing  a dog’s  physical  condition,  as  through  illness.  Depending  on  the  dog's  initial 
personality,  this  could  possibly  cause  a new  belief  system  to  be  held  tenaciously.  Sargant 
also  connected  Pavlov’s  findings  to  the  mechanisms  of  brain-washing.  .. 

"Though  men  are  not  dogs,  they  should  humbly  try  to  remember  how  much  they 
resemble  dogs  in  their  brain  functions,  and  not  boast  themselves  as  demigods.  They 
are  gifted  with  religious  and  social  apprehensions,  and  they  are  gifted  with  the  power 
of  reason;  but  all  these  faculties  are  physiologically  entailed  to  the  brain.  Therefore 
the  brain  should  not  be  abused  by  having  forced  upon  it  any  religious  or  political 
mystique  that  stunts  the  reason,  or  any  form  of  crude  rationalism  that  stunts  the 
religious  sense."  (p.  274) 

Psychologist  Margaret  Singer  describes  six  conditions  which  would  create  an 
atmosphere  in  which  thought  reform  is  possible.  Singer  states  that  these  conditions 
involve  no  need  for  physical  coercion  or  violence. 

• Keep  the  victim  unaware  of  what  is  going  on  and  how  he  is  being  changed  a step  at 
a time. 


208 


Control  the  victim's  social  and/or  physical  environment;  especially  control  the 
victim's  time. 

Systematically  create  a sense  of  powerlessness  in  the  victim.  This  is  accomplished 
by  getting  victims  away  from  their  normal  social  support  group  for  a period  of  time 
and  into  an  environment  where  the  majority  of  people  are  already  group  members, 
o The  victims  serve  as  models  of  the  attitudes  and  behaviors  of  the  group  and 
speak  an  in-group  language. 

o Strip  victims  of  their  main  occupation  (quit  jobs,  drop  out  of  school)  or 
source  of  income  or  have  them  turn  over  their  income  (or  the  majority  of)  to 
the  group. 

o Once  stripped  of  your  usual  support  network,  your  confidence  in  your  own 
perception  erodes. 

o /As  your  sense  of  powerlessness  increases,  your  good  judgment  and 
understanding  of  the  world  are  diminished,  (ordinary  view  of  reality  is 
destabilized) 

o /As  group  attacks  your  previous  worldview,  it  causes  you  distress  and  inner 
confusion;  yet  you  are  not  allowed  to  speak  about  this  confusion  or  object  to 
it  — leadership  suppresses  questions  and  counters  resistance, 
o This  process  is  sped  up  if  you  are  kept  tired. 

Manipulate  a system  of  rewards,  punishments  and  experiences  in  such  a way  as  to 
inhibit  behavior  that  reflects  the  victim's  former  social  identity. 

o Manipulation  of  experiences  can  be  accomplished  through  various  methods 
of  trance  induction,  including  leaders  using  such  techniques  as  paced 
speaking  patterns,  guided  imagery,  chanting,  long  prayer  sessions  or 
lectures,  and  lengthy  meditation  sessions, 
o Your  old  beliefs  and  patterns  of  behavior  are  defined  as  irrelevant  or  evil. 
Leadership  wants  these  old  patterns  eliminated,  so  the  victims  must 
suppress  them. 

o Victims  get  positive  feedback  for  conforming  to  the  group's  beliefs  and 
behaviors  and  negative  feedback  for  old  beliefs  and  behavior. 

Manipulate  a system  of  rewards,  punishments,  and  experiences  in  order  to  promote 
learning  the  group's  ideology  or  belief  system  and  group-approved  behaviors, 
o Good  behavior,  demonstrating  an  understanding  and  acceptance  of  the 
group's  beliefs,  and  compliance  are  rewarded  while  questioning,  expressing 
doubts  or  criticizing  are  met  with  disapproval,  redress  and  possible  rejection. 
If  one  expresses  a question,  he  or  she  is  made  to  feel  that  there  is 
something  inherently  wrong  with  them  to  be  questioning, 
o The  only  feedback  victims  get  is  from  the  group,  they  become  totally 

dependent  upon  the  rewards  given  by  those  who  control  the  environment, 
o Victims  must  learn  varying  amounts  of  new  information  about  the  beliefs  of 
the  group  and  the  behaviors  expected  by  the  group, 
o The  more  complicated  and  filled  with  contradictions  the  new  system  is  and 
the  more  difficult  it  is  to  learn,  the  more  effective  the  conversion  process  will 
be. 

o Esteem  and  affection  from  peers  is  very  important  to  new  recruits.  Approval 
comes  from  having  the  new  victim's  behaviors  and  thought  patterns  conform 
to  the  models  (victims).  Victims'  relationship  with  peers  is  threatened 
whenever  they  fail  to  learn  or  display  new  behaviors.  Over  time,  the  easy 
solution  to  the  insecurity  generated  by  the  difficulties  of  learning  the  new 
system  is  to  inhibit  any  display  of  doubts  — new  recruits  simply  acquiesce, 
affirm  and  act  as  if  they  do  understand  and  accept  the  new  ideology. 


209 


• Put  forth  a closed  system  of  logic  and  an  authoritarian  structure  that  permits  no 
feedback  and  refuses  to  be  modified  except  by  leadership  approval  or  executive 
order. 

o The  group  has  a top-down,  pyramid  structure.  The  leaders  must  have  verbal 
ways  of  never  losing. 

o Victims  are  not  allowed  to  question,  criticize  or  complain  - if  they  do.  the 
leaders  allege  that  the  victim  is  defective  — not  the  organization  or  the 
beliefs. 

o The  individual  is  always  wrong  — the  system,  its  leaders  and  its  belief  are 
always  right. 

o Remolding  of  the  individual  victim  happens  in  a closed  system,  ,4s  victims 
learn  to  modify  their  behavior  in  order  to  be  accepted  in  this  closed  system, 
they  change  — begin  to  speak  the  language  — which  serves  to  further  isolate 
them  from  their  prior  beliefs  and  behaviors. " 

Social  psychology  tactics 

A contemporary  view  of  mind  control  sees  it  as  an  intensified  and  persistent  use  of  well 
researched  social  psychology  principles  like  compliance,  conformity,  persuasion, 
dissonance,  reactance,  framing  or  emotional  manipulation. 

One  of  the  most  notable  proponents  of  such  theories  is  social  psychologist  Philip  Zimbardo, 
former  president  of  the  American  Psychological  Association: 

"I  conceive  of  mind  control  as  a phenomena  encompassing  all  the  ways  in 
which  personal,  social  and  institutional  forces  are  exerted  to  induce 
compliance,  conformity,  belief,  attitude,  and  value  change  in  others. 

"Mind  control  is  the  process  by  which  individual  or  collective  freedom  of 
choice  and  action  is  compromised  by  agents  or  agencies  that  modify  or 
distort  perception,  motivation,  affect,  cognition  and/or  behavioral  outcomes.  It 
is  neither  magical  nor  mystical,  but  a process  that  involves  a set  of  basic 
social  psychological  principles. " 

In  Influence,  Science  and  Practice,  social  psychologist  Robert  Cialdini  argues  that  mind 
control  is  possible  through  the  covert  exploitation  of  the  unconscious  rules  that 
underlie  and  facilitate  healthy  human  social  interactions.  He  states  that  common  social  rules 
can  be  used  to  prey  upon  the  unwary,  and  he  titles  them  as  follows: 

• "Reciprocation:  The  Old  Give  and  Take... and  Take" 

• "Commitment  and  Consistency:  Hobgoblins  of  the  Mind" 

• "Social  Proof:  Truths  Are  Us" 

• "Liking:  The  Friendly  Thief 

• "Authority:  Directed  Deference" 

• "Scarcity:  The  Rule  of  the  Few" 

Using  these  six  broad  categories,  he  offers  specific  examples  of  both  mild  and  extreme  mind 
control  (both  one  on  one  and  in  groups),  notes  the  conditions  under  which  each  social  rule  is 
most  easily  exploited  for  false  ends,  and  offers  suggestions  on  how  to  resist  such  methods. "

80  "...  remote  thought  control..." 

EDITOR'S  NOTE:  If  "hypersonic  sound"  (see  reference  below)  can  already  be  used 
on  Earth,  which  has  been  using  electricity  for  only  150  years,  imagine  a technology 
that  has  been  refined  over  millions  of  years,  that  could  transmit  thoughts  that  are 
precisely  targeted  to  an  individual  person  across  millions  of  miles  of  space. 

"The  lunatic  is  in  my  head,"  sang  Pink  Floyd  on  their  landmark  "Dark  Side  of  the  Moon " 
album  released  35  years  ago.  " There's  someone  in  my  head  but  it's  not  me." 

In  2008,  there  is  a chance  that  the  voice  inside  your  head  may  be  trying  to  sell  you 
something.  Advertisers  are  using  a new  acoustic  technology  to  project  advertising  slogans 
directly  into  your  head.  And  not  everyone  is  happy  about  the  aural  intrusion. 

In  fact,  the  space  between  your  ears  may  be  the  newest  battleground  in  the  conflict 
between  privacy  and  technology.  The  technique  is  called  hypersonic  sound  and  it  was 
created  by  inventor  Woody  Norris.  Hypersonic  sound  (HSS)  projection  enables  sound  to 
be  directed  precisely  to  one  individual  without  any  spillover. 

In  tandem  with  an  ultrasonic  emitter  and  a signal  processor/amplifier,  HSS  projects  a column 
of  modulated  ultrasonic  frequencies  into  the  air.  The  ultrasonic  frequencies  are  inaudible  by 
themselves,  but  the  interaction  of  the  frequencies  with  the  air  create  sounds  that  can  be 
heard  by  anyone  inside  the  column.  Hypersonic  sound  can  direct  sound  as  precisely  as  a 
laser  beam  can  direct  light. 

One  only  needs  to  be  standing  in  the  path  of  an  HSS  beam  in  order  to  hear  the  sound. 
However,  the  sensation  to  those  hearing  is  that  the  sound  is  being  projected  from  inside  their 
skull. 

Pretty  cool,  thinks  inventor  Norris.  Or  pretty  creepy  if  you  don't  know  what's  going  on.  It  is 
already  being  done  from  a billboard  on  Prince  Street  in  New  York  City. 

Advertising  for  a television  show  called  ", Paranormal  State, " which  airs  on  the  Arts  and 
Entertainment  Network  (A&E),  has  been  sent  through  HSS  to  unsuspecting  pedestrians  who 
trigger  a sensor  as  they  stroll  by.  The  sound  that  is  emitted  can  be  heard  only  by  them. 

Science  and  technology  writer  Clive  Thompson,  has  written  about  the  Prince  Street  billboard 
for  Wired  magazine.  He  experienced  HSS  himself,  writing  that  it  felt  "creepy"  to  hear  a 
woman's  voice  whisper,  "Who's  there?  Who's  there?" 

It  used  to  be  that  we  could  at  least  be  guaranteed  privacy  in  the  space  between  our  ears. 
That  is  no  longer  true,  thanks  to  the  invention  of  "in-head  advertising. " 

The  freedom  to  think  our  own  thoughts  without  artificial  manipulation  from  outside 
sources  may  be  our  latest  civil  rights  battle. "

81  "...  the  remote  mind-control  operation..." 


211 


"One  of  the  earliest  examples  of  remote  control  was  developed  in  1893  by  Nikola  Tesla: 

and  described  in  his  patent,  U.S.  Patent  613,809_,  named  "Method  of  an  Apparatus  for 
Controlling  Mechanism  of  Moving  Vehicle  or  Vehicles". 

"In  1903,  Leonardo  Torres  Quevedo  presented  the  Telekino  at  the  Paris  Academy  of 
Science,  accompanied  by  a brief,  and  making  an  experimental  demonstration.  In  the  same 
year,  he  obtained  a patent  in  France,  Spain,  Great  Britain,  and  the  United  States.  The 
Telekino  consisted  of  a robot  that  executed  commands  transmitted  by  electromagnetic 
waves.  It  constituted  the  world's  first  apparatus  for  radio  control  and  was  a pioneer  in  the 
field  of  remote  control.  In  1906,  in  the  presence  of  the  king  and  before  a great  crowd,  Torres 
successfully  demonstrated  the  invention  in  the  port  of  Bilbao,  guiding  a boat  from  the  shore. 
Later,  he  would  try  to  apply  the  Telekino  to  projectiles  and  torpedoes,  but  had  to  abandon 
the  project  for  lack  of  financing. 

The  first  remote-controlled  model  airplane  flew  in  1932,  and  the  use  of  remote  control 
technology  for  military  purposes  was  worked  intensively  during  the  Second  World  War, 
one  result  of  this  being  the  German  Wasserfall  missile. " 

Remote  control  technology  is  also  used  in  space  travel,  for  instance  the  Russian 
Lunokhod  vehicles  were  remote-controlled  from  the  ground.  Direct  remote  control  of 
space  vehicles  at  greater  distances  from  the  earth  is  not  practical  due  to  increasing  signal 
delay  times. "

82  "...  mind  control..." 

Editor's  Note:  The  most  famously  publicized  evidence  of  the  use  of  mind-control 
operations  is  the  CIA  project,  "MK-ULTRA": 

"Project  MK-ULTRA,  or  MKULTRA,  was  the  code  name  for  a covert  CIA  mind-control  and 
chemical  interrogation  research  program,  run  by  the  Office  of  Scientific  Intelligence,  that 
began  in  the  early  1950s  and  continued  at  least  through  the  late  1960s.  There  is  much 
published  evidence  that  the  project  involved  the  surreptitious  use  of  many  types  of  drugs,  as 
well  as  other  methodology,  to  manipulate  individual  mental  states  and  to  alter  brain  function. 

Project  MK-ULTRA  was  first  brought  to  wide  public  attention  in  1975  by  the  U.S.  Congress, 
through  investigations  by  the  Church  Committee,  and  by  a presidential  commission  known 
as  the  Rockefeller  Commission.  Investigative  efforts  were  hampered  by  the  fact  that  CIA 
Director  Richard  Helms  ordered  all  MK-ULTRA  files  destroyed  in  1973. 

Although  the  CIA  insists  that  MK-ULTRA-type  experiments  have  been  abandoned,  14-year 
CIA  veteran  Victor  Marchetti  has  stated  in  various  interviews  that  the  CIA  routinely  conducts 
disinformation  campaigns  and  that  CIA  mind  control  research  continued.  In  a 1977  interview, 
Marchetti  specifically  called  the  CIA  claim  that  MK-ULTRA  was  abandoned  a 'cover  story. '. 

On  the  Senate  floor  in  1977,  Senator  Ted  Kennedy  said: 

The  Deputy  Director  of  the  CIA  revealed  that  over  thirty  universities  and  institutions  were 
involved  in  an  'extensive  testing  and  experimentation'  program  which  included  covert  drug 


212 


tests  on  unwitting  citizens  'at  all  social  levels,  high  and  low,  native  Americans  and  foreign. ' 
Several  of  these  tests  involved  the  administration  of  LSD  to  'unwitting  subjects  in  social 
situations. ' At  least  one  death,  that  of  Dr.  [Frank]  Olson,  resulted  from  these  activities.  The 
Agency  itself  acknowledged  that  these  tests  made  little  scientific  sense.  The  agents  doing 
the  monitoring  were  not  qualified  scientific  observers. 


A precursor  of  the  MK-UL  TRA  program  began  in  1945  when  the  Joint  Intelligence  Objectives 
Agency  was  established  and  given  direct  responsibility  for  Operation  Paperclip.  Operation 
Paperclip  was  a program  to  recruit  former  Nazi  spies,  scientists  and  experts  in  torture 
and  brain  washing,  some  of  whom  had  just  been  identified  and  prosecuted  as  war  criminals 
during  the  Nuremberg  Trials. 

Several  secret  U.  S.  government  projects  grew  out  of  Operation  Paperclip.  These  projects 
included  Project  CHATTER  (established  1947),  and  Project  BLUEBIRD  (established  1950), 
which  was  later  renamed  to  Project  ARTICHOKE  in  1951.  Their  purpose  was  to  study  mind- 
control,  interrogation,  behavior  modification  and  related  topics. 

Headed  by  Dr.  Sidney  Gottlieb,  the  MK-ULTRA  project  was  started  on  the  order  of  CIA 
director  Allen  Dulles  on  April  13,  19 53,  largely  in  response  to  Soviet,  Chinese,  and  North 
Korean  use  of  mind-control  techniques  on  U.S.  prisoners  of  war  in  Korea.  The  CIA  wanted  to 
use  similar  methods  on  their  own  captives.  The  CIA  was  also  interested  in  being  able  to 
manipulate  foreign  leaders  with  such  techniques,  and  would  later  invent  several  schemes  to 
drug  Fidel  Castro. 

Experiments  were  often  conducted  without  the  subjects'  knowledge  or  consent.  In  some 
cases,  academic  researchers  being  funded  through  grants  from  CIA  front  organizations  were 
unaware  that  their  work  was  being  used  for  these  purposes. 

In  1964,  the  project  was  renamed  MK-SEARCH.  The  project  attempted  to  produce  a perfect 
truth  drug  for  use  in  interrogating  suspected  Soviet  spies  during  the  Cold  War,  and 

generally  to  explore  any  other  possibilities  of  mind  control. 

An  MK-ULTRA  program  tagged  "Operation  Teapot"  involved  the  testing  of  pregnant  women 
with  radiation,  among  other  things.  Also  under  this  program.  U.S.  army  soldiers  were  dosed 
with  LSD  to  study  the  effects  of  panic. 

Another  MK-ULTRA  effort,  Subproject  54,  was  the  Navy's  top  secret  "Perfect  Concussion" 
program,  which  used  sub  aural  frequency  blasts  to  erase  memory.  During  this  program 
LSD's  corollary  effect  on  controlled  and  channeled  mass  panic  was  discovered. 

MK-ULTRA  head  Sidney  Gottlieb  was  involved  with  both  Operation  Teapot  and  Subproject 
54.  The  U.S.  government  officially  denied  involvement  until  1995  when  an  official  apology 
was  issued  to  the  pregnant  women  and  to  the  affected  U.S.  army  soldiers.  However  no 
apologies  were  offered  to  the  affected  U.S.  Navy  soldiers  or  to  a group  of  Oregon  prison 
inmates,  whose  testicles  were  irradiated  without  their  knowledge.  Compensation  for  medical 
treatment  resulting  from  these  experiments  has  been  disputed  and  remains  tied  up  in 
arbitration  more  than  40  years  after  the  fact.  Since  1 995,  most  of  the  associated  files  have 
been  reclassified  as  Top  Secret. 


213 


Because  most  MK-ULTRA  records  were  deliberately  destroyed  in  1973  by  order  of  then  CIA 
Director  Richard  Helms,  it  has  been  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  for  investigators  to  gain  a 
complete  understanding  of  the  more  than  150  individually  funded  research  sub-projects 
sponsored  by  MK  Ultra  and  related  CIA  programs. 

Aims 

The  Agency  poured  millions  of  dollars  into  studies  probing  dozens  of  methods  of 
influencing  and  controlling  the  mind.  One  1955  MK-ULTRA  document  gives  an  indication 
of  the  size  and  range  of  the  effort;  this  document  refers  to  the  study  of  an  assortment  of 
mind-altering  substances  described  as  follows: 

1.  Substances  which  will  promote  illogical  thinking  and  impulsiveness  to  the  point 
where  the  recipient  would  be  discredited  in  public. 

2.  Substances  which  increase  the  efficiency  of  mentation  and  perception. 

3.  Materials  which  will  prevent  or  counteract  the  intoxicating  effect  of  alcohol. 

4.  Materials  which  will  promote  the  intoxicating  effect  of  alcohol. 

5.  Materials  which  will  produce  the  signs  and  symptoms  of  recognized  diseases  in  a 
reversible  way  so  that  they  may  be  used  for  malingering,  etc. 

6.  Materials  which  will  render  the  induction  of  hypnosis  easier  or  otherwise 
enhance  its  usefulness. 

7.  Substances  which  will  enhance  the  ability  of  individuals  to  withstand  privation, 
torture  and  coercion  during  interrogation  and  so-called  "brain-washing". 

8.  Materials  and  physical  methods  which  will  produce  amnesia  for  events  preceding 
and  during  their  use. 

9.  Physical  methods  of  producing  shock  and  confusion  over  extended  periods  of  time 
and  capable  of  surreptitious  use.

Historians  have  learned  that  creating  a "Manchurian  Candidate"  subject  through 
"mind  control"  techniques  was  undoubtedly  a goal  of  MK-ULTRA  and  related  CIA 
projects. 


214 


Budget 


A secretive  arrangement  granted  a percentage  of  the  CIA  budget.  The  MK-ULTRA 
director  was  granted  six  percent  of  the  CIA  operating  budget  in  1953,  without  oversight  or 
accounting. 

Experiments 

CIA  documents  suggest  that  "chemical,  biological  and  radiological"  means  were  investigated 
for  the  purpose  of  mind  control  as  part  of  MK-ULTRA. 

Drugs 

LSD 

Early  efforts  focused  on  LSD,  which  later  came  to  dominate  many  of  MK-ULTRA's  programs. 

Experiments  included  administering  LSD  to  CIA  employees,  military  personnel,  doctors, 
other  government  agents,  prostitutes,  mentally  ill  patients,  and  members  of  the  general 
public  in  order  to  study  their  reactions.  LSD  and  other  drugs  were  usually  administered 
without  the  subject's  knowledge  and  informed  consent,  a violation  of  the  Nuremberg  Code 
that  the  U.S.  agreed  to  follow  after  WWII. 

Efforts  to  "recruit"  subjects  were  often  illegal,  even  discounting  the  fact  that  drugs  were  being 
administered  (though  actual  use  of  LSD,  for  example,  was  legal  in  the  United  States  until 
October  6,  1966).  In  Operation  Midnight  Climax,  the  CIA  set  up  several  brothels  to  obtain  a 
selection  of  men  who  would  be  too  embarrassed  to  talk  about  the  events.  The  men  were 
dosed  with  LSD.  and  the  brothels  were  equipped  with  one-way  mirrors  and  the  "sessions" 
were  filmed  for  later  viewing  and  study. 

Some  subjects'  participation  was  consensual,  and  in  many  of  these  cases,  the  subjects 
appeared  to  be  singled  out  for  even  more  extreme  experiments.  In  one  case,  volunteers 
were  given  LSD  for  77  consecutive  days. 

LSD  was  eventually  dismissed  by  MK-ULTRA's  researchers  as  too  unpredictable  in  its 
effects.  Although  useful  information  was  sometimes  obtained  through  questioning  subjects 
on  LSD.  not  uncommonly  the  most  marked  effect  would  be  the  subject's  absolute  and  utter 
certainty  that  they  were  able  to  withstand  any  form  of  interrogation  attempt,  even  physical 
torture. 

Other  drugs 

Another  technique  investigated  was  connecting  a barbiturate  IV  into  one  arm  and  an 
amphetamine  IV  into  the  other.  The  barbiturates  were  released  into  the  subject  first,  and  as 
soon  as  the  subject  began  to  fall  asleep,  the  amphetamines  were  released.  The  subject 
would  begin  babbling  incoherently  at  this  point,  and  it  was  sometimes  possible  to  ask 
questions  and  get  useful  answers. 

Other  experiments  involved  heroin,  morphine,  temazepam  (used  under  code  name  MK- 
SEARCH),  mescaline,  psilocybin,  scopolamine,  marijuana,  alcohol,  and  sodium  pentothal. 


215 


Hypnosis 


Declassified  MK-ULTRA  documents  indicate  hypnosis  was  studied  in  the  early  1950s. 
Experimental  goals  included:  the  creation  of  "hypnotically  induced  anxieties, " "hypnotically 
increasing  ability  to  learn  and  recall  complex  written  matter, " studying  hypnosis  and 
polygraph  examinations,  "hypnotically  increasing  ability  to  observe  and  recall  complex 
arrangements  of  physical  objects,"  and  studying  "relationship  of  personality  to  susceptibility 
to  hypnosis. " 

Canadian  experiments 

The  experiments  were  exported  to  Canada  when  the  CIA  recruited  Scottish  psychiatrist 
Donald  Ewen  Cameron,  creator  of  the  "psychic  driving"  concept,  which  the  CIA  found 
particularly  interesting.  Cameron  had  been  hoping  to  correct  schizophrenia  by  erasing 
existing  memories  and  completely  rebuilding  the  psyche.  He  commuted  from  Albany,  New 
York  to  Montreal  every  week  to  work  at  the  Allan  Memorial  Institute  of  McGill  University  and 
was  paid  $69,000  from  1957  to  1964  to  carry  out  MKULTRA  experiments  there. 

In  addition  to  LSD.  Cameron  also  experimented  with  various  paralytic  drugs  as  well  as 
electroconvulsive  therapy  at  thirty  to  forty  times  the  normal  power.  His  "driving" 
experiments  consisted  of  putting  subjects  into  drug-induced  coma  for  weeks  at  a time  (up  to 
three  months  in  one  case)  while  playing  tape  loops  of  noise  or  simple  repetitive  statements. 
His  experiments  were  typically  carried  out  on  patients  who  had  entered  the  institute  for  minor 
problems  such  as  anxiety  disorders  and  postpartum  depression,  many  of  whom  suffered 
permanently  from  his  actions.  His  treatments  resulted  in  victims'  incontinence,  amnesia, 
forgetting  how  to  talk,  forgetting  their  parents,  and  thinking  their  interrogators  were  their 
parents.  His  work  was  inspired  and  paralleled  by  the  British  psychiatrist  Dr  William  Sargant 
at  St  Thomas'  Hospital,  London,  and  Belmont  Hospital,  Surrey,  who  also  experimented 
extensively  and  very  damagingly  on  his  patients  without  their  consent  and  was  equally 
involved  with  the  Intelligence  Sen/ices. 

It  was  during  this  era  that  Cameron  became  known  worldwide  as  the  first  chairman  of 
the  World  Psychiatric  Association  as  well  as  president  of  the  American  and  Canadian 
psychiatric  associations.  Cameron  had  also  been  a member  of  the  Nuremberg  medical 
tribunal  only  a decade  earlier. 

Revelation 

In  1973,  CIA  Director  Richard  Helms  ordered  all  MK-ULTRA  files  destroyed.  Pursuant  to 
this  order,  most  CIA  documents  regarding  the  project  were  destroyed,  making  a full 
investigation  of  MK-ULTRA  all  but  impossible. 

In  December  1974,  The  New  York  Times  reported  that  the  CIA  had  conducted  illegal 
domestic  activities,  including  experiments  on  U.S.  citizens,  during  the  1960s.  That  report 
prompted  investigations  by  the  U.S.  Congress,  in  the  form  of  the  Church  Committee,  and  by 
a presidential  commission  known  as  the  Rockefeller  Commission  that  looked  into  domestic 
activities  of  the  CIA,  the  FBI,  and  intelligence-related  agencies  of  the  military. 

in  the  summer  of  1975,  congressional  Church  Committee  reports  and  the  presidential 
Rockefeller  Commission  report  revealed  to  the  public  for  the  first  time  that  the  CIA 
and  the  Department  of  Defense  had  conducted  experiments  on  both  unwitting  and 


216 


cognizant  human  subjects  as  part  of  an  extensive  program  to  influence  and  control 
human  behavior  through  the  use  of  psychoactive  drugs  such  as  LSD  and  mescaline 
and  other  chemical,  biological,  and  psychological  means.  They  also  revealed  that  at 
least  one  subject  had  died  after  administration  of  LSD. 

The  congressional  committee  investigating  the  CIA  research,  chaired  by  Senator  Frank 
Church,  concluded  that  "[pjrior  consent  was  obviously  not  obtained  from  any  of  the 
subjects".  The  committee  noted  that  the  "experiments  sponsored  by  these  researchers  ... 
call  into  question  the  decision  by  the  agencies  not  to  fix  guidelines  for  experiments. " 

In  Canada,  the  issue  took  much  longer  to  surface,  becoming  widely  known  in  1984  on  a 
CBC  news  show,  The  Fifth  Estate.  It  was  learned  that  not  only  had  the  CIA  funded  Dr. 
Cameron's  efforts,  but  perhaps  even  more  shockingly,  the  Canadian  government  was 
fully  aware  of  this,  and  had  later  provided  another  $500,000  in  funding  to  continue  the 
experiments.  This  revelation  largely  derailed  efforts  by  the  victims  to  sue  the  CIA  as  their 
U.  S.  counterparts  had,  and  the  Canadian  government  eventually  settled  out  of  court  for 
$100,000  to  each  of  the  127  victims. 

U.S.  General  Accounting  Office  Report 

The  U.  S.  General  Accounting  Office  issued  a report  on  September  28,  1994,  which  stated 
that  between  1 940  and  1974,  DOD  and  other  national  security  agencies  studied  thousands 
of  human  subjects  in  tests  and  experiments  involving  hazardous  substances. 

The  quote  from  the  study: 

...  Working  with  the  CIA,  the  Department  of  Defense  gave  hallucinogenic  drugs  to  thousands 
of  "volunteer"  soldiers  in  the  1950's  and  1960's.  In  addition  to  LSD,  the  Army  also  tested 
quinuclidinyl  benzilate,  a hallucinogen  code-named  BZ.  Many  of  these  tests  were  conducted 
under  the  so-called  MKULTRA  program,  established  to  counter  perceived  Soviet  and 
Chinese  advances  in  brainwashing  techniques.  Between  1953  and  1964,  the  program 
consisted  of  149  projects  involving  drug  testing  and  other  studies  on  unwitting  human 
subjects... 

Extent  of  participation 

44  American  colleges  or  universities,  15  research  foundations  or  chemical  or  pharmaceutical 
companies  and  the  like,  12  hospitals  or  clinics  (in  addition  to  those  associated  with 
universities),  and  3 prisons  are  known  to  have  participated  in  MKULTRA. 

Famous  subjects 

Considerable  evidence  supports  the  contention  that  Unabomber  Theodore  Kaczynski 
participated  in  CIA-sponsored  MK-ULTRA  experiments  conducted  at  Flarvard  University  by 
Henry  A.  Murray,  a professor  in  Social  Relations,  from  the  fall  of  1959  through  the  spring  of 
1962.  Kaczynski  was  a precocious,  though  impressionable,  sixteen-year-old  when  he  began 
his  participation;  his  assigned  code  name  was  "Lawful. " He  emerged,  years  later,  as  a 
terrorist  and  has  been  sentenced  to  life  in  prison  without  the  possibility  of  parole. 

"Merry  Prankster"  Ken  Kesey,  author  of  One  Flew  Over  the  Cuckoo's  Nest,  volunteered  for 

MK-UL  TRA  experiments  while  a student  at  Stanford  University.  Kesey's  ingestion  of  LSD

during  these  experiments  led  directly  to  his  widespread  promotion  of  the  drug  and  the 
subsequent  development  of  hippie  culture. "

83  ..."Dark  Ages”... 

"It  is  generally  accepted  that  the  concept  (Dark  Agesjwas  created  by  Petrarch  in  the  1330s. 
Writing  of  those  who  had  come  before  him,  he  said,  "Amidst  the  errors  there  shone  forth 
men  of  genius,  no  less  keen  were  their  eyes,  although  they  were  surrounded  by  darkness 
and  dense  gloom. " Christian  writers  had  traditional  metaphors  of  "light  versus  darkness"  to 
describe  "good  versus  evil".  Petrarch  was  the  first  to  co-opt  the  metaphor  and  give  it  secular 
meaning  by  reversing  its  application.  Classical  Antiquity,  so  long  considered  the  "dark"  age 
for  its  lack  of  Christianity,  was  now  seen  by  Petrarch  as  the  age  of  "light"  because  of  its 
cultural  achievements,  while  Petrarch's  time,  lacking  such  cultural  achievements,  was  seen 
as  the  age  of  darkness. 

As  an  Italian,  Petrarch  saw  the  Roman  Empire  and  the  classical  period  as  expressions  of 
Italian  greatness.  He  spent  much  of  his  time  traveling  through  Europe  rediscovering  and 
republishing  the  classic  Latin  and  Greek  texts.  He  wanted  to  restore  the  classical  Latin 
language  to  its  former  purity.  Humanists  saw  the  preceding  900-year  period  as  a time  of 
stagnation.  They  saw  history  unfolding,  not  along  the  religious  outline  of  St.  Augustine's  Six 
Ages  of  the  World,  but  in  cultural  (or  secular)  terms  through  the  progressive  developments  of 
classical  ideals,  literature,  and  art. 

Petrarch  wrote  that  history  had  had  two  periods:  the  classic  period  of  the  Greeks  and 
Romans,  followed  by  a time  of  darkness,  in  which  he  saw  himself  as  still  living.  Humanists 
believed  one  day  the  Roman  Empire  would  rise  again  and  restore  classic  cultural  purity,  and 
so  by  the  late  14th  and  early  15th  century,  humanists  such  as  Leonardo  Bruni  believed  they 
had  attained  this  new  age,  and  that  a third,  Modern  Age  had  begun.  The  age  before  their 
own,  which  Petrarch  had  labeled  dark,  thus  became  a "middle"  age  between  the  classic  and 
the  modern. "

84  "...  the  basic  laws  of  physics..." 

"The  early  modern  period  is  seen  as  a flowering  of  the  Renaissance,  in  what  is  often  known 
as  the  "Scientific  Revolution",  viewed  as  a foundation  of  modern  science.  Historians  like 
Howard  Margolis  hold  that  the  Scientific  Revolution  began  in  1 5 43,  when  Nicolaus 
Copernicus  received  the  first  copy  of  his  De  Revoiutionibus,  printed  in  Nuremberg 
(Nurnberg)  by  Johannes  Petreius.  Most  of  its  contents  had  been  written  years  prior,  but  the 
publication  had  been  delayed.  Copernicus  died  soon  after  receiving  the  copy. 

Further  significant  advances  were  made  over  the  following  century  by  Galileo  Galilei, 
Christiaan  Huygens,  Johannes  Kepler,  and  Blaise  Pascal.  During  the  early  seventeenth 
century,  Galileo  made  extensive  use  of  experimentation  to  validate  physical  theories,  which 
is  the  key  idea  in  the  modern  scientific  method.  Galileo  formulated  and  successfully  tested 
several  results  in  dynamics,  in  particular  the  Law  of  Inertia.  In  Galileo's  Two  New  Sciences, 
a dialogue  between  the  characters  Simplicio  and  Salviati  discuss  the  motion  of  a ship  (as  a 
moving  frame)  and  how  that  ship's  cargo  is  indifferent  to  its  motion.  Huygens  used  the 
motion  of  a boat  along  a Dutch  canal  to  illustrate  an  early  form  of  the  conservation  of 
momentum. 


218 


The  scientific  revolution  is  considered  to  have  culminated  with  the  publication  of  the 
Philosophiae  Naturalis  Principia  Mathematica  in  1687  by  the  mathematician,  physicist, 
alchemist  and  inventor  Sir  Isaac  Newton  (1643-1727).  In  1687,  Newton  published  the 
Principia,  detailing  two  comprehensive  and  successful  physical  theories:  Newton's  laws  of 
motion,  from  which  arise  classical  mechanics;  and  Newton's  Law  of  Gravitation,  which 
describes  the  fundamental  force  of  gravity.  Both  theories  agreed  well  with  experiment.  The 
Principia  also  included  several  theories  in  fluid  dynamics. 

After  Newton  defined  classical  mechanics,  the  next  great  field  of  inquiry  within  physics  was 
the  nature  of  electricity."

85  "...electricity..." 

"Electricity  would  remain  little  more  than  an  intellectual  curiosity  for  over  two  millennia  until 
1600,  when  the  English  physician  William  Gilbert  made  a careful  study  of  electricity  and 
magnetism,  distinguishing  the  lodestone  effect  from  static  electricity  produced  by  rubbing 
amber.  He  coined  the  New  Latin  word  electricus  ("of  amber"  or  "like  amber",  from  qAcKrpov 
[elektron],  the  Greek  word  for  "amber")  to  refer  to  the  property  of  attracting  small  objects 
after  being  rubbed.  This  association  gave  rise  to  the  English  words  "electric"  and  "electricity", 
which  made  their  first  appearance  in  print  in  Thomas  Browne's  Pseudodoxia  Epidemica  of 
1646. 

Further  work  was  conducted  by  Otto  von  Guericke,  Robert  Boyle,  Stephen  Gray  and  C.  F. 
du  Fay.  In  the  18th  century,  Benjamin  Franklin  conducted  extensive  research  in  electricity, 
selling  his  possessions  to  fund  his  work.  In  June  1 752  he  is  reputed  to  have  attached  a 
metal  key  to  the  bottom  of  a dampened  kite  string  and  flown  the  kite  in  a storm-threatened 
sky.  He  observed  a succession  of  sparks  jumping  from  the  key  to  the  back  of  his  hand, 
showing  that  lightning  was  indeed  electrical  in  nature. 

In  1791  Luigi  Galvani  published  his  discovery  of  bioelectricity,  demonstrating  that  electricity 
was  the  medium  by  which  nerve  cells  passed  signals  to  the  muscles.  Alessandro  Volta's 
battery,  or  voltaic  pile,  of  1800,  made  from  alternating  layers  of  zinc  and  copper,  provided 
scientists  with  a more  reliable  source  of  electrical  energy  than  the  electrostatic  machines 
previously  used.  Andre-Marie  Ampere  discovered  the  relationship  between  electricity  and 
magnetism  in  1820;  Michael  Faraday  invented  the  electric  motor  in  1821,  and  Georg  Ohm 
mathematically  analyzed  the  electrical  circuit  in  1827. 

While  it  had  been  the  early  nineteenth  century  that  had  seen  rapid  progress  in  electrical 
science,  the  late  nineteenth  century  would  see  the  greatest  progress  in  electrical 
engineering.  Through  such  people  as  Nikola  Tesla,  Thomas  Edison,  George  Westinghouse, 
Ernst  Werner  von  Siemens,  Alexander  Graham  Bell  and  Lord  Kelvin,  electricity  was  turned 
from  a scientific  curiosity  into  an  essential  tool  for  modern  life,  becoming  a driving  force  for 
the  Second  Industrial  Revolution. "

86  "...  Sir  Isaac  Newton..." 

"Sir  Isaac  Newton  (4  January  1643  - 31  March  1727)  was  an  English  physicist, 
mathematician,  astronomer,  theologian,  natural  philosopher,  and  alchemist.  His  treatise 


219 


Philosophise  Naturalis  Principia  Mathematica  was  published  in  1687,  and  said  to  be  the 
greatest  single  work  in  the  history  of  science,  described  universal  gravitation  and  the 
three  laws  of  motion,  laying  the  groundwork  for  classical  mechanics,  which  dominated 
the  scientific  view  of  the  physical  universe  for  the  next  three  centuries  and  is  the  basis 
for  modern  engineering.  He  showed  that  the  motions  of  objects  on  Earth  and  of  celestial 
bodies  are  governed  by  the  same  set  of  natural  laws  by  demonstrating  the  consistency 
between  Kepler's  laws  of  planetary  motion  and  his  theory  of  gravitation,  thus  removing 
the  last  doubts  about  heliocentrism  and  advancing  the  scientific  revolution. 

In  mechanics,  Newton  enunciated  the  principles  of  conservation  of  momentum  and 
angular  momentum.  In  optics,  he  invented  the  reflecting  telescope  and  developed  a 
theory  of  colour  based  on  the  observation  that  a prism  decomposes  white  light  into  a 
visible  spectrum.  He  also  formulated  an  empirical  law  of  cooling  and  studied  the  speed  of 
sound. 

In  mathematics,  Newton  shares  the  credit  with  Gottfried  Leibniz  for  the  development  of  the 
calculus.  He  also  demonstrated  the  generalized  binomial  theorem,  developed  the  so- 
called  "Newton 's  method"  for  approximating  the  zeroes  of  a function,  and  contributed  to 
the  study  of  power  series. 

In  a 2005  poll  of  the  Royal  Society  of  who  had  the  greatest  effect  on  the  history  of 
science,  Newton  was  deemed  much  more  influential  than  Albert  Einstein. "

87  "...between  lifetimes." 

"Dr.  Carl  Sagan  was  a noted  scientist,  teacher  and  skeptic.  Sagan  was  a founding  member 
of  a group  that  set  out  to  debunk  unscientific  claims,  and  wrote  the  book  The  Demon- 
Haunted  World  in  which  he  said  that  there  were  several  areas  in  parapsychology  which 
deserved  serious  study: 

"At  the  time  of  writing  there  are  three  claims  in  the  ESP  field  which,  in  my  opinion, 
deserve  serious  study:  (1)  that  by  thought  alone  humans  can  (barely)  affect  random 
number  generators  in  computers;  (2)  that  people  under  mild  sensory  deprivation  can  receive 
thoughts  or  images  " projected " at  them;  and  (3)  that  young  children  sometimes  report  the 
details  of  a previous  life,  which  upon  checking  turn  out  to  be  accurate  and  which  they 
could  not  have  known  about  in  any  way  other  than  reincarnation.  I pick  these  claims 
not  because  I think  they're  likely  to  be  valid  (I  don't),  but  as  examples  of  contentions 
that  might  be  true." 

"University  of  Virginia  psychiatrists  Dr.  Jim  Tucker  and  Professor  Ian  Stevenson  have 
published  books  and  peer-reviewed  research  papers  about  their  work  in  examining  cases  of 
early  childhood  past  life  memories  and  birthmarks.  The  most  detailed  collections  of  personal 
reports  in  favor  of  reincarnation  have  been  published  by  Professor  Ian  Stevenson,  in  books 
such  as  Twenty  Cases  Suggestive  of  Reincarnation. 

Stevenson  has  spent  over  40  years  devoted  to  the  study  of  children  who  have  spoken  about 
past  lives.  In  each  case,  Stevenson  methodically  documents  the  child's  statements.  Then, 
he  identifies  the  deceased  person  the  child  allegedly  identifies  with,  and  verifies  the  facts  of 
the  deceased  person's  life  that  match  the  child's  memory.  Stevenson  believes  that  his 
meticulous  methods  rule  out  all  possible  "normal"  explanations  for  the  child’s 


220 


memories.  However,  it  should  be  noted  that  a significant  proportion  of  the  University  of 
Virginia's  reported  cases  of  reincarnation  originate  in  Eastern  societies,  where  dominant 
religions  often  permit  the  concept  of  reincarnation.  In  India  — where  this  phenomenon  is 
quite  common  — if  a child  from  a poor  family  claims  to  be  the  reincarnated  person  from  a 
rich  family,  this  can  lead  to  the  child  to  be  adopted  by  that  family,  a motive  that  has  led  to 
children  making  fraudulent  reincarnation  claims. 

Stevenson  has  said  about  the  2500  cases  of  children  who  appeared  to  remember  past  lives, 
which  he  and  his  associates  investigated: 

"My  conclusion  so  far  is  that  reincarnation  is  not  the  only  explanation  for  these  cases,  but 
that  it  is  the  best  explanation  we  have  for  the  stronger  cases,  by  which  I mean  those  in 
which  a child  makes  a considerable  number  ( say  20  or  30)  of  correct  statements  about 
another  person  who  lives  in  a family  that  lives  quite  remote  from  his  own  and  with  which  his 
family  has  had  no  prior  contacts.  When  we  talk  about  remoteness,  we  don't  necessarily  just 
mean  physical  distance.  We  know  that  two  families  can  live  only  1 0 kilometers  apart  and  yet 
they  can  be  very  remote  because  they  belong  to  different  economic  and  social  classes. " 

Professor  Stevenson  has  also  matched  birthmarks  and  birth  defects  to  wounds  and

Stevenson's  research  into  birthmarks  and  congenital  defects  has  particular  importance  for 
the  demonstration  of  reincarnation,  since  it  furnishes  objective  and  graphic  evidence  of 
reincarnation,  superior  to  the  (often  fragmentary)  memories  and  reports  of  the  children  and 
adults  questioned,  which  even  if  verified  afterwards  probably  cannot  be  assigned  the  same. "

88  "...  lost  civilizations  of  Atlantis..." 

The  following  website  has  most  of  the  popular  information  about  Atlantis: 

http://www.lost-civilizations.net/atlantis.html 

89  "...  and  Lemuria..." 

"The  rise  and  fall  of  the  Lemurian  civilization  cannot  be  accurately  documented,  though 
many  have  gone  in  quest  of  this  mythological  continent.  Lost  civilizations  have  been  known 
to  rise  and  fall  - or  just  appear  and  disappear  without  explanation.  As  with  Atlantis  one  can 
only  speculate  as  to  what  happened,  based  on  archaeological  evidence,  legends,  theories 
pieced  together  by  researchers,  and  for  some,  metaphysical  channelings. 

The  exact  location  of  Lemuria  varies  with  different  researchers  and  authors,  though  it  is  part 
of  the  mysteries  of  the  Pacific  region  flowing  into  the  American  continent,  just  as  Atlantis  is 
linked  to  the  Atlantic  land  areas  that  stretch  to  the  Mediterranean  Sea.  Wherever  you  believe 
the  location  of  Lemuria  to  be,  it  is  linked  with  the  Ring  of  Fire.  This  area  has  become  active 
with  a Tsunami  in  December  26,  2004,  powerful  earthquakes  and  volcanoes  that  continue, 
after  being  dormant  for  many  years.  It  would  seem  that  the  legends  of  ancient  Lemuria 
speak  to  us  once  again  with  warning  signs  - as  they  supposedly  did  to  the  Lemurians  - 
before  the  continent  - or  group  of  islands  - fell  into  the  sea. 


221 


The  fate  of  Lemuria,  also  known  as  Pacifica.  Mu.  and  what  Cayce  called  Zu  or  Oz,  is  not 
unlike  that  proposed  for  Atlantis.  It  is  much  like  the  destiny  of  humanity  foreseen  in  our 
timeline  by  prophets  of  old  and  modern-day  clairvoyants.  The  legends  are  all  the  same  ...  a 
thriving,  advanced  culture  that  suddenly  manifested  out  of  nowhere.  Their  origins  and 
downfall  are  linked  to  destruction  when  their  continent  sank  beneath  the  'sea'  due  to  natural 
cataclysms  and  human  imbalance. "

90  "...polar  shift"... 

"In  1852,  mathematician  Joseph  Adhemar  suggested  that  the  accumulation  of  thick  ice  at 
the  poles  periodically  caused  the  earth  to  flip  and  the  equator  to  move  to  where  the  poles 
were.  An  early  mention  of  a shifting  of  the  Earth's  axis  can  be  found  in  an  1872  article 
entitled  "Chronologie  historique  des  Mexicains"  which  interpreted  ancient  Mexican  myths  as 
evidence  for  four  periods  of  global  cataclysms  that  had  begun  around  10,500  B.C. 

The  novel  Geyserland:  Empiricisms  in  Social  Reform.  Being  Data  and  Observations 
Recorded  by  the  Late  Mark  Stubble.  M.D.,  Ph.D.  (1908)  by  Richard  Hatfield  used  the  device 
of  a fictional  study  to  locate  a blissful  nation  of  pure  Communism  at  the  North  Pole  on  the 
island  of  Atlantis.  This  fictional  Utopia  was  destroyed  by  a pole  shift  set  in  9262  B.C. 

Hugh  Auchindoss  Brown,  an  electrical  engineer,  advanced  a theory  of  catastrophic  pole  shift 
influenced  by  Adhemar's  earlier  model.  Brown  also  argued  that  accumulation  of  ice  at  the 
poles  caused  recurring  tipping  of  the  axis,  identifying  cycles  of  approximately  7 millennia. 

Charles  Hapgood  is  now  perhaps  the  best  remembered  early  proponent,  from  in  his  books 
The  Earth's  Shifting  Crust  ( 1 958)  (which  includes  a foreword  by  Albert  Einstein)  and 

Path  of  the  Pole  (1970).  Hapgood,  building  on  Adhemar's  much  earlier  model,  speculated 
that  the  ice  mass  at  one  or  both  poles  over-accumulates  and  destabilizes  the  earth's 
rotational  balance,  causing  slippage  of  all  or  much  of  earth's  outer  crust  around  the  earth's 
core,  which  retains  its  axial  orientation.  Based  on  his  own  research,  he  argued  that  each 
shift  took  approximately  five  thousand  years,  followed  by  20  to  30  thousand  year  periods 
with  no  polar  movements.  Also,  in  his  calculations,  the  area  of  movement  never  covered 
more  than  40  degrees.  His  examples  of  recent  locations  for  the  North  Pole  include  the 
Yukon  Territory,  Hudson  Bay,  and  in  the  Atlantic  Ocean  between  Iceland  and  Norway. 

This  is  an  example  of  slow  pole  shift  motion,  which  displays  the  most  minor  alterations  and 
no  destruction.  A more  dramatic  view  assumes  more  rapid  changes,  with  dramatic 
alterations  of  geography  and  localized  areas  of  destruction  due  to  earthquakes  and 
tsunamis.  Several  recent  books  propose  changes  that  take  place  in  weeks,  days,  or  even 
hours,  resulting  in  a variety  of  doomsday  scenarios. 

Regardless  of  speed,  the  results  of  a shift  occurring  results  in  major  climate  changes  for 
most  of  the  earth's  surface,  as  areas  that  were  formerly  equatorial  become  temperate,  and 
areas  that  were  temperate  become  either  more  equatorial  or  more  arctic. 

Hapgood  wrote  to  Canadian  librarian,  Rand  Flem-Ath,  encouraging  him  in  his  pursuit  of 
scientific  evidence  to  back  Hapgood's  claim  and  in  his  expansion  of  the  theory.  Flem-Ath 
published  the  results  of  this  work  in  1995  in  When  the  Sky  Fell  co-written  with  his  wife,  Rose. 


222 


Other  theories  which  are  not  dependent  upon  polar  ice  masses  include  those  involving: 

• a high-velocity  asteroid  or  comet  which  hits  Earth  at  such  an  angle  that  the 
lithosphere  moves  independent  of  the  mantle 

• a high-velocity  asteroid  or  comet  which  hits  Earth  at  such  an  angle  that  the  entire 
planet  shifts  axis. 

• an  unusually  magnetic  celestial  object  which  passes  close  enough  to  Earth  to 
temporarily  reorient  the  magnetic  field,  which  then  “drags”  the  lithosphere  about  a 
new  axis  of  rotation.  Eventually,  the  sun's  magnetic  field  again  determines  the 
Earth's,  after  the  intruding  celestial  object  “returns”  to  a location  from  which  it  cannot 
influence  Earth. 

• perturbations  of  the  topography  of  the  core-mantle  boundary,  perhaps  induced  by 
differential  core  rotation  and  shift  of  its  axial  rotation  vector,  leading  to  CMB  mass 
redistributions.  See,  e.g.,  Bowin. 

• mass  redistributions  in  the  mantle  from  mantle  avalanches  or  other  deformations. 
See,  e.g.,  Ladbury,  and  Steinberger  and  O'Connell.''

91  "...Totalitarian..." 

"Totalitarianism  is  a concept  used  in  political  science  that  describes  a state  that  regulates 
nearly  every  aspect  of  public  and  private  behavior.  Totalitarian  regimes  or  movements 
maintain  themselves  in  political  power  by  means  of  secret  police,  propaganda  disseminated 
through  the  state-controlled  mass  media,  personality  cults,  regulation  and  restriction  of  free 
discussion  and  criticism,  single-party  states,  the  use  of  mass  surveillance,  and  widespread 
use  of  terror  tactics. 

Many  consider  the  first  totalitarian  regimes  to  have  begun  in  the  20th  century,  which  include 
the  communist  regimes  of  the  Soviet  Union  and  Cuba,  as  well  as  totalitarianism  of  Nazi 
Germany,  Fascist  Italy,  Spain  under  Franco,  Portugal  under  Salazar,  as  well  as  others. 
However  some  argue  that  totalitarianism  has  existed  centuries  prior,  such  as  in  ancient 
China  under  the  political  leadership  of  Prime  Minister  Li  Si  who  helped  the  Qin  dynasty  unify 
China.  Li  Si  adopted  the  political  philosophy  of  Legalism  as  the  ruling  philosophical  thought 
of  China  and  restricted  political  activities  and  destroyed  all  literature  and  killed  scholars  who 
did  not  support  Legalism.  Totalitarianism  was  also  used  by  the  Spartan  state  in  Ancient 
Greece.  Its  “educational  system”  was  part  of  the  totalitarian  military  society.  The  oligarchy 
running  the  state  machine  dictated  every  aspect  of  life,  including  the  rearing  of  children. "

92  "...planetary  governments,  regulated  by  a brutal  social,  economic,  and  political 
hierarchy..." 

"A  hierarchy  (in  Greek:  hieros,  'sacred',  and  arkho,  'rule')  is  a system  of  ranking  and 
organizing  things  or  people,  where  each  element  of  the  system  (except  for  the  top  element) 
is  a subordinate  to  a single  other  element. 

A hierarchy  can  link  entities  either  directly  or  indirectly,  and  either  vertically  or  horizontally. 
The  only  direct  links  in  a hierarchy,  insofar  as  they  are  hierarchical,  are  to  one's  immediate 
superior  or  to  one  of  one's  subordinates,  although  a system  that  is  largely  hierarchical  can 
also  incorporate  other  organizational  patterns.  Indirect  hierarchical  links  can  extend 


223 


"vertically"  upwards  or  downwards  via  multiple  links  in  the  same  direction.  All  parts  of  the 
hierarchy  which  are  not  vertically  linked  to  one  another  can  nevertheless  be  "horizontally" 
linked  by  traveling  up  the  hierarchy  to  find  a common  direct  or  indirect  superior,  and  then 
down  again.  This  is  akin  to  two  co-workers,  neither  of  whom  is  the  other's  boss,  but  both  of 
whose  chains  of  command  will  eventually  meet. " 

Many  human  organizations,  such  as  governments,  educational  institutions,  businesses, 
churches,  armies  and  political  movements  are  hierarchical  organizations,  at  least  officially; 
commonly  seniors,  called  "bosses",  have  more  power  than  their  subordinates.  Thus  the 
relationship  defining  this  hierarchy  is  "commands"  or  "has  power  over".  Some  analysts 
question  whether  power  "actually"  works  in  the  way  the  traditional  organizational  chart 
indicates,  however.  This  view  tends  to  emphasize  the  significance  of  the  informal 
organization. "

93  "...royal  monarch  as  its  figurehead." 

"In  politics,  a figurehead,  by  metaphor  with  the  carved  figurehead  at  the  prow  of  a sailing 
ship,  is  a person  who  holds  an  important  title  or  office  yet  executes  little  actual  power. 
Common  figureheads  include  constitutional  monarchs,  such  as  the  Emperor  of  Japan,  or 
presidents  in  parliamentary  democracies,  such  as  the  President  of  Israel. 

While  the  authority  of  a figurehead  is  generally  symbolic,  respect  and  access  to  high  levels 
of  government  can  give  them  significant  influence  on  some  events.  An  example  would  be 
Emperor  Hirohito's  involvement  in  World  War  II.  In  parliamentary  systems,  presidents  are 
figureheads  at  times  of  peace  (delegated  such  powers  as  convening  or  dismissing  the 
national  legislature),  but  at  wartime  they  are  often  commanders  in  chief. 

Sometimes  a figurehead  can  be  exploited  in  times  of  emergency.  For  example,  Indian  Prime 
Minister  Indira  Gandhi  used  the  figurehead  President  of  India  to  issue  unilateral  decrees  that 
allowed  her  to  bypass  parliament  when  it  no  longer  supported  her. 

The  word  can  also  have  more  sinister  overtones,  and  refer  to  a powerless  leader  who  should 
be  exercising  full  authority,  yet  is  actually  being  controlled  by  a more  powerful  figure  behind 
the  throne. 

The  tendency  of  this  word  to  drift,  like  many  words  that  are  in  a strong  process  of  changed 
meanings,  into  the  pejorative  is  beginning  to  make  it  unsuitable  to  apply  to  a head  of  state 
with  limited  constitutional  authority,  such  that  its  use  may  become  increasingly  inappropriate 
in  referring  to  monarchs  and  presidents  in  parliamentary  systems. "

94  "...  united  by  a egalitarian  esprit  de  corps..." 

"Esprit  de  corps,  when  discussing  the  morale  of  a group,  is  an  intangible  term  used  for 

the  capacity  of  people  to  maintain  belief  in  an  institution  ora  goal,  or  even  in  oneself 
and  others.  According  to  Alexander  H.  Leighton,  "morale  is  the  capacity  of  a group  of 
people  to  pull  together  persistently  and  consistently  in  pursuit  of  a common 
purpose". 


224 


Egalitarian,  (derived  from  the  French  word  egal,  meaning  equal)  is  a political  doctrine  that 
holds  that  all  people  should  be  treated  as  equals  from  birth.  Generally  it  applies  to  being 
held  equal  under  the  law.  the  church,  and  society  at  large.  In  actual  practice,  one  may  be 
considered  an  egalitarian  in  most  areas  listed  above,  even  if  not  subscribing  to  equality  in 
every  possible  area  of  individual  difference.  For  example,  one  might  support  equal  rights  in 
race  matters  but  not  in  gender  issues,  or  vice  versa. "

95  "...  Many  of  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  are  here  because  they  are  violently  opposed  to 
totalitarian  governments..." 

- Editor's  Note:  Coincidentally,  or  perhaps  NOT  coincidentally,  almost  one  year  after  this 
interview,  the  novel  "1984"  by  George  Orwell,  which  was  published  in  June  of  1948.  The 
state  of  the  U.S.  government  has  grown  to  mirror  many  of  the  features  described  by  Orwell 
in  the  book,  "Nineteen  Eighty-Four".  It  is  easy  to  speculate  that  Orwell  may  have  been 
"influenced"  by  an  IS-BE  of  The  Domain  while  writing  this  book.  Or,  at  the  very  least,  he  was 
one  of  the  IS-BEs  sentenced  to  Earth  because  he  is  one  of "...  the  IS-BEs  on  Earth  are 
here  because  they  are  violently  opposed  to  totalitarian  governments...". 

The  following  description  of  the  basis  for  Orwell's  "1984"  are  taken  verbatim  from 
Wikipedia.org.  It  is  a very  close  description  of  the  "Old  Empire"  government: 

"Much  of  Oceanic  society  is  based  upon  Stalin’s  Soviet  Union.  The  "Two  Minutes'  Hate" 
was  the  ritual  demonization  of  State  enemies  and  rivals;  Big  Brother  resembles  Joseph 
Stalin;  the  Party's  archenemy,  Emmanuel  Goldstein,  resembles  Leon  Trotsky  (both  are 
Jewish,  both  have  the  same  physiognomy,  and  Trotsky's  real  surname  was  'Bronstein). 
Another  suggested  inspiration  for  Goldstein  is  Emma  Goldman,  the  famous  Anarchist  figure. 
Doctored  photography  is  a propaganda  technique  and  the  creation  of  unpersons  in  the 
story,  analogous  to  Stalin's  enemies  being  made  nonpersons  and  being  erased  from 
official  photographic  records;  the  police  treatment  of  several  characters  recalls  the 
Moscow  Trials  of  the  Great  Purge. " 

There  a very  many  interesting  parallels  between  the  concepts  discussed  by  Orwell  in 
"1984”,  and  the  description  of  the  "Old  Empire"  government  and  the  Earth  prison 
planet  activities  in  the  transcripts  of  the  "Alien  Interviews"  with  Airl. 

For  example,  a few  of  these  are  parallels  cited  in  the  following  excerpt  from  the 
internet  encyclopedia,  Wikipedia.org: 

"The  Thought  Police  capture  Winston  and  Julia  in  their  sanctuary  bedroom  and  they  are 
separately  interrogated  at  the  Ministry  of  Love,  where  the  regime’s  opponents  are  tortured 
and  killed,  but  sometimes  released  (to  be  executed  at  a later  date);  Charrington,  the  shop 
keeper  who  rented  them  the  room  reveals  himself  an  officer  of  the  Thought  Police.  In  the 

Ministry  of  Love  torture  chamber,  O'Brien  tells  Smith  that  he  will  be  cured  of  his  hatred 
for  the  Party.  During  a session,  he  explains  to  Winston  that  torture's  purpose  is  to  alter 
his  way  of  thinking,  not  to  extract  a fake  confession,  adding  that  once  cured  — accepting 
reality  as  the  Party  describes  — he  then  will  be  executed;  electroshock  torture  will 
achieve  that,  continuing  until  O'Brien  decides  Winston  is  cured."

"Nineteen  Eighty-Four  (also  titled  1984),  by  George  Orwell  (the  pen  name  of  Eric  Arthur 
Blair),  is  an  English  dystopian  novel  about  life  in  a dictatorship  as  lived  by  Winston  Smith,  an 
intellectual  worker  at  the  Ministry  of  Truth,  and  his  degradation  when  he  runs  afoul  of  the 
totalitarian  government  of  Oceania,  the  state  in  which  he  lives  in  the  year  1984. 

Orwell's  influences 

In  the  essay  Why  I Write,  Orwell  explains  that  all  the  serious  work  he  wrote  since  the 
Spanish  Civil  War  in  1936  was  "written,  directly  or  indirectly,  against  totalitarianism  and  for 
democratic  socialism. " Therefore,  Nineteen  Eighty-Four  is  an  anti-totalitarian  cautionary  tale 
about  the  betrayal  of  a revolution  by  its  defenders.  He  already  had  stated  distrust  of 
totalitarianism  and  betrayed  revolutions  in  Homage  to  Catalonia  and  Animal  Farm.  Coming 
Up  For  Air,  at  points,  celebrates  the  personal  and  political  freedoms  lost  in  Nineteen  Eighty- 
Four. 

The  novel's  title,  its  terms  and  its  language  (Newspeak),  and  its  author's  surname  are 
bywords  for  personal  privacy  lost  to  national  state  security.  The  adjective  "Orwellian" 
denotes  totalitarian  action  and  organization;  the  phrase:  Big  Brother  is  Watching  You 
connotes  pervasive,  invasive  surveillance.  The  following  quotation  has  become  famous: 

War  is  Peace 
Freedom  is  Slavery 
Ignorance  is  Strength 

Although  the  novel  has  been  banned  or  challenged  in  some  countries,  it,  along  with  Brave 
New  World,  byAldous  Huxley,  and  Fahrenheit  451,  by  Ray  Bradbury,  is  among  literature's 
most  famous  dystopias.  In  2005,  Time  magazine  listed  it  among  the  best  one  hundred 
English-language  novels  published  since  1 923. 

Nineteen  Eighty-Four  introduces  Oceania,  one  of  the  world's  three  intercontinental 
totalitarian  superstates.  The  story  occurs  in  London,  the  "chief  city  of  Airstrip  One",  itself  a 
province  of  Oceania  that  "had  been  called  England  or  Britain".  Posters  of  "Big  Brother",  the 
Party  leader,  with  the  caption  BIG  BROTHER  IS  WATCHING  YOU,  dominate  the  city 
landscapes;  two-way  television  (the  telescreen)  dominates  the  private  and  public  spaces  of 
the  populace. 

Oceania's  people  are  in  three  classes  — (i)  the  Inner  Party,  (ii)  the  Outer  Party,  and  (Hi)  the 
"Proles".  This  government,  the  Party,  controls  them  via  the  Ministry  of  Truth  (MiniTru),  where 
Winston  Smith,  the  protagonist,  works;  he  is  a member  of  the  Outer  Party.  His  job  in  MiniTru 
is  the  continual  rewriting  and  altering  of  history  so  that  the  government  is  always  right  and 
correct:  destroying  evidence,  amending  newspaper  articles,  deleting  the  existence  of  people 
identified  as  "unpersons". 

The  story  begins  on  April  4,  1 984:  "It  was  a bright  cold  day  in  April,  and  the  clocks  were 
striking  thirteen. " The  date  is  questionable,  because  it  is  what  Winston  Smith  perceives.  In 
the  story's  course,  he  concludes  it  as  irrelevant,  because  the  State  can  arbitrarily  alter  it;  the 
year  1984  and  its  world  are  transmutabie. 

The  novel  does  not  render  the  world's  full  history  to  1984.  Indeed,  because  the  book 
Winston  reads  is  given  to  him  by  a Party  member,  it  is  possible  that  the  book  itself  is  meant 
to  be  a deception,  and  the  history  of  the  world  of  1984  is  somewhat  different.  Winston's 


226 


recollections,  and  what  he  reads  in  The  Theory  and  Practice  of  Oligarchical  Collectivism,  by 
Emmanuel  Goldstein,  reveal  that  after  the  Second  World  War,  the  United  Kingdom  fell  to 
civil  war,  becoming  part  of  Oceania.  Simultaneously,  the  Soviet  Union  encompassed 
mainland  Europe,  forming  Eurasia;  the  third  super  state,  Eastasia,  comprises  the  east  Asian 
countries  around  China  and  Japan. 

There  was  an  atomic  war,  fought  mainly  in  Europe,  western  Russia,  and  North  America.  It  is 
unclear  what  occurred  first:  the  civil  war  wherein  the  Party  assumed  power  or  the  United 
States'  annexation  of  the  British  Empire  or  the  war  during  which  Colchester  was  bombed. 

During  the  Second  World  War,  George  Orwell  repeatedly  said  that  British  democracy,  as  it 
existed  before  1939,  would  not  survive  the  war;  the  question  being:  Would  it  end  via  Fascist 
coup  d'etat  (from  above)  or  via  Socialist  revolution  (from  below)?  During  the  war,  Orwell 
admitted  events  proved  him  wrong:  "What  really  matters  is  that  I fell  into  the  trap  of 
assuming  that  'the  war  and  the  revolution  are  inseparable' "

96  "...  Wars  are  fought  with  electronic  cannon."... 

"/  have  not  thought  it  hazardous  to  predict,  that  wars  in  the  future  will  be  waged  by 
electrical  means."  — Nikola  Tesla,  1915 

Tesla  made  some  remarkable  claims  concerning  a "teleforce"  weapon.  The  press  called  it  a 
"peace  ray"  or  death  ray.  In  total,  the  components  and  methods  included: 

1.  An  apparatus  for  producing  manifestations  of  energy  in  free  air  instead  of  in  a high 
vacuum  as  in  the  past.  This,  according  to  Tesla  in  1934,  was  accomplished. 

2.  A mechanism  for  generating  tremendous  electrical  force.  This,  according  to  Tesla, 
was  also  accomplished. 

3.  A means  of  intensifying  and  amplifying  the  force  developed  by  the  second 
mechanism. 

4.  Anew  method  for  producing  a tremendous  electrical  repelling  force.  This  would  be 
the  projector,  or  gun,  of  the  invention. 

Tesla  worked  on  plans  for  a directed-energy  weapon  between  the  early  1 900s  till  the  time  of 
his  death.  In  1937,  Tesla  composed  a treatise  entitled  "The  Art  of  Projecting  Concentrated 
Non-dispersive  Energy  through  the  Natural  Media"  concerning  charged  particle  beams. 

Tesla  published  the  document  in  an  attempt  to  expound  on  the  technical  description  of  a 
"superweapon  that  would  put  an  end  to  all  war".  This  treatise  of  the  particle  beam  is  currently 
in  the  Nikola  Tesla  Museum  archive  in  Belgrade.  It  described  an  open  ended  vacuum  tube 
with  a gas  jet  seal  that  allowed  particles  to  exit,  a method  of  charging  particles  to  millions  of 
volts,  and  a method  of  creating  and  directing  nondispersive  particle  streams  (through 
electrostatic  repulsion). 

Records  of  his  indicate  that  it  was  based  on  a narrow  stream  of  atomic  clusters  of  liquid 
mercury  or  tungsten  accelerated  via  high  voltage  (by  means  akin  to  his  magnifying 
transformer).  Tesla  gave  the  following  description  concerning  the  particle  gun's  operation: 
[The  nozzle  would]  send  concentrated  beams  of  particles  through  the  free  air,  of  such

tracks. "

97  "...  like  the  Axis  powers..." 

"The  Axis  powers,  also  interpreted  as  Axis  alliance,  Axis  nations,  Axis  countries  or 
sometimes  just  the  Axis  were  those  countries  opposed  to  the  Allies  during  World  War  II.  The 
three  major  Axis  powers,  Nazi  Germany,  Fascist  Italy,  and  Imperial  Japan  were  part  of  a 
military  alliance  on  the  signing  of  the  Tripartite  Pact  in  September  1940,  which  officially 
founded  the  Axis  powers.  At  their  zenith,  the  Axis  powers  ruled  empires  that  dominated  large 
parts  of  Europe,  Africa,  East  and  Southeast  Asia  and  the  Pacific  Ocean,  but  World  War  II 
ended  with  their  total  defeat.  Like  the  Allies,  membership  of  the  Axis  was  fluid,  and  some 
nations  entered  and  later  left  the  Axis  during  the  course  of  the  war. 

The  term  was  first  used  by  Benito  Mussolini,  in  November  1936,  when  he  spoke  of  a Rome- 
Berlin  axis  arising  out  of  the  treaty  of  friendship  signed  between  Italy  and  Germany  on 
October  25,  1936.  Mussolini  declared  that  the  two  countries  would  form  an  "axis"  around 
which  the  other  states  of  Europe  would  revolve.  This  treaty  was  forged  when  Italy,  originally 
opposed  to  Germany,  was  faced  with  opposition  to  its  war  in  Abyssinia  from  the  League  of 
Nations  and  received  support  from  Germany.  Later,  in  May  1939,  this  relationship 
transformed  into  an  alliance,  called  by  Mussolini  the  "Pact  of  Steel"."

98  "...Vedic  Hymns..." 

The  Vedas  are  very  exhaustive  scriptures.  Each  veda  contains  several  sections  and 
thousands  of  hymns.  Some  of  the  Vedic  hymns,  especially  the  hymns  of  the  Rig  veda,  are 
considered  to  be  at  least  6000-8000  years  old.  The  Vedas  are  believed  to  be  revealed 
scriptures,  because  they  are  considered  to  be  divine  in  origin.  Since  they  were  not  written  by 
any  human  beings  but  were  only  heard  in  deep  meditative  states,  they  are  commonly 
referred  a "those  that  were  heard". 

Here  is  one  of  the  most  famous  hymns  from  the  Rig  Vega:  The  Hymn  of  Creation" 

"A  time  is  envisioned  when  the  world  was  not,  only  a watery  chaos  (the  dark, 
"indistinguishable  sea")  and  a warm  cosmic  breath,  which  could  give  an  impetus  of  life. 
Notice  how  thought  gives  rise  to  desire  (when  something  is  thought  of  it  can  then  be  desired) 
and  desire  links  non-being  to  being  (we  desire  what  is  not  but  then  try  to  bring  it  about  that  it 
is).  Yet  the  whole  process  is  shrouded  in  mystery. 

Where  do  the  gods  fit  in  this  creation  scheme? 

The  non-existent  was  not ; the  existent  was  not  at  that  time.  The  atmosphere  was  not  nor  the 
heavens  which  are  beyond.  What  was  concealed?  Where?  In  whose  protection?  Was  it 
water?  An  unfathomable  abyss? 

There  was  neither  death  nor  immortality  then.  There  was  not  distinction  of  day  or  night.  That 
alone  breathed  windless  by  its  own  power.  Other  than  that  there  was  not  anything  else. 

Darkness  was  hidden  by  darkness  in  the  beginning.  All  this  was  an  indistinguishable  sea. 
That  which  becomes,  that  which  was  enveloped  by  the  void,  that  alone  was  born  through  the 
power  of  heat. 


228 


Upon  that  desire  arose  in  the  beginning.  This  was  the  first  discharge  of  thought.  Sages 
discovered  this  link  of  the  existent  to  the  nonexistent,  having  searched  in  the  heart  with 
wisdom. 

Their  line  [of  vision]  was  extended  across;  what  was  below,  what  was  above?  There  were 
impregnators,  there  were  powers:  inherent  power  below,  impulses  above. 

Who  knows  truly?  Who  here  will  declare  whence  it  arose,  whence  this  creation?  The  gods 
are  subsequent  to  the  creation  of  this.  Who,  then,  knows  whence  it  has  come  into  being? 

Whence  this  creation  has  come  into  being;  whether  it  was  made  or  not;  he  in  the  highest 
heaven  is  its  surveyor.  Surely  he  knows,  or  perhaps  he  knows  not. "

99  "...  the  Aryan  people..." 

"The  Vedic  term  arya-  in  its  earliest  attestations  has  a meaning  of  "stranger”,  but 
"stranger"  in  the  sense  of  "potential  guest".  The  Sanskrit  lexicon  defines  Arya  as 
mahakula  kuifnarya  "being  of  a noble  family",  sabhya  "having  gentle  or  refined 
behavior  and  demeanor",  sajjana  "being  well-born  and  respectable",  and  sadhava 
"being  virtuous,  honourable,  or  righteous  ’.  Arya,  is  a title  of  honor  and  respect  given 
to  certain  people  for  noble  behavior. 

The  Aryan  race  was  a term  used  in  the  early  20th  century  by  European  racial  theorists  who 
believed  strongly  in  the  division  of  humanity  into  biologically  distinct  races  with  differing 
characteristics.  Such  writers  believed  that  the  Proto-Indo-Europeans  constituted  a specific 
race  that  had  expanded  across  parts  of  Europe,  Iran  and  small  parts  of  northern  India.  This 
usage  tends  to  merge  the  Sanskrit  meaning  of  "noble"  or  "elevated"  with  the  idea  of 
distinctive  behavioral  and  ancestral  ethnicity  marked  by  language  distribution. 

Nazism  portrayed  their  interpretation  of  an  "Aryan  race " as  the  only  race  capable  of,  or  with 
an  interest  in,  creating  and  maintaining  culture  and  civilizations,  while  other  races  are  merely 
capable  of  conversion,  or  destruction  of  culture.  These  arguments  derived  from  late 
nineteenth  century  racial  hierarchies.  Some  Nazis  were  also  influenced  by  Madame 
Biavatsky's  The  Secret  Doctrine  (1888)  where  she  postulates  "Aryans"  as  the  fifth  of  her 
"Root  Races",  dating  them  to  about  a million  years  ago,  tracing  them  to  Atlantis, 

Because  of  historical  racist  use  of  Aryan,  and  especially  use  of  Aryan  race  in  connection  with 
the  propaganda  of  Nazism,  the  word  is  sometimes  avoided  in  the  Wesf  as  being  tainted,  in 
the  same  manner  as  the  swastika  symbol.  Currently,  India  and  Iran  are  the  only  countries 
to  use  the  word  Aryan  in  a demographic  denomination. "

100  "...  the  Vedic  Hymns..." 

"The  term  veda  means  "knowledge,  (sacred)  lore"  embraces  a body  of  writings  the  origin 
of  which  is  ascribed  to  divine  revelation  (shruti,  literally  "hearing"),  and  which  forms  the 
foundation  of  the  Brahmanical  system  of  religious  belief.  This  sacred  canon  is  divided  into 
three  or  (according  to  a later  scheme)  four  co-ordinate  collections,  likewise  called  Veda: 


229 


(I)  the  Rig-veda,  or  lore  of  praise  (or  hymns);  (2)  the  Samaveda,  or  lore  of  tunes  (or 
chants);  (3)  the  Yajurveda,  or  lore  of  prayer  (or  sacrificial  formulas);  and  (4)  the  Atharvaveda, 
or  lore  of  the  Atharvans.  Each  of  these  four  Vedas  consists  primarily  of  a collection 
(samihita)  of  sacred,  mostly  poetical,  texts  of  a devotional  nature,  called  mantra.  This  entire 
body  of  texts  (and  particularly  the  first  three  collections)  is  also  frequently  referred  to  as  the 
trayi  vidya,  or  threefold  wisdom,  of  hymns  (rik),  tune  or  chant  (saman),  and  prayer  (yajus), 
the  fourth  Veda,  if  at  all  included,  being  in  that  case  classed  together  with  the  Rik. "

"Vishnu  is  the  All-Pervading  essence  of  all  beings,  the  master  of  and  beyond  the  past, 
present  and  future,  the  creator  and  destroyer  of  all  existences,  one  who  supports,  sustains 
and  governs  the  Universe  and  originates  and  develops  all  elements  within.  In  the  Rigveda, 
Vishnu  is  mentioned  93  times. 

The  traditional  Sanskrit  explanation  of  the  name  Vi  u involves  the  root  vis,  meaning  "to 
settle,  to  enter",  or  "to  pervade",  and  a suffix  nu,  translating  to  approximately  "the  All- 
Pervading  One". 

He  has  nine  avatars,  or  'incarnations'  (which)  are  described  as  having  occurred  in  the  past, 
with  one  still  to  happen  at  the  end  of  Kali  Yuga.  The  Bhagavad  Gita  mentions  their  purpose 
as  being  to  vanquish  negative  forces. "

102  "...past  lives." 

A "past  lives"  scenario  automatically  infers  a "future  life"  in  the  context  of  an  amnesia  and 
prison  planet  operation.  This  implies  the  phenomenon  of  reincarnation: 

"Reincarnation  literally  "to  be  made  flesh  again",  is  a doctrine  or  metaphysical  belief  that 
some  essential  part  of  a living  being  (in  some  variations  only  human  beings)  survives  death 
to  be  reborn  in  a new  body.  This  essential  part  is  often  referred  to  as  the  spirit  or  soul,  the 
"higher"  or  "true"  self,  "divine  spark",  or  "I".  According  to  such  beliefs,  a new  personality  is 
developed  during  each  life  in  the  physical  world,  but  some  part  of  the  self  remains  constant 
throughout  the  successive  lives. 

Belief  in  reincarnation  is  an  ancient  phenomenon.  This  doctrine  is  a central  tenet  within  the 
majority  of  Indian  religious  traditions,  such  as  Hinduism  (including  Yoga,  Vaishnavism,  and 
Shaivism),  Jainism,  and  Sikhism.  The  idea  was  also  entertained  by  some  Ancient  Greek 
philosophers.  Many  modern  Pagans  also  believe  in  reincarnation  as  do  some  New  Age 
movements,  along  with  followers  of  Spiritism,  practitioners  of  certain  African  traditions,  and 
students  of  esoteric  philosophies  such  as  Kabbalah,  Sufism  and  Gnostic  and  Esoteric 
Christianity.  The  Buddhist  concept  of  Rebirth  although  often  referred  to  as  reincarnation 
differs  significantly  from  the  Hindu-based  traditions  and  New  Age  movements  in  that  there  is 
no  "self"  (or  eternal  soul)  to  reincarnate. 

During  recent  decades,  a significant  minority  of  people  in  the  West  have  developed  a belief 
in  reincarnation.  Notable  exceptions  include  Henry  Ford  and  General  George  Patton. 


230 


Henry  Ford  was  convinced  he  had  lived  before,  most  recently  as  a soldier  killed  at  the  battle 
of  Gettysburg.  A quote  from  the  San  Francisco  Examiner  from  August  26,  1 928  described 
Ford's  beliefs: 

"I  adopted  the  theory  of  Reincarnation  when  I was  twenty-six.  Religion  offered 
nothing  to  the  point.  Even  work  could  not  give  me  complete  satisfaction.  Work  is 
futile  if  we  cannot  utilize  the  experience  we  collect  in  one  life  in  the  next.  When  I 
discovered  Reincarnation  it  was  as  if  I had  found  a universal  plan  I realized  that 
there  was  a chance  to  work  out  my  ideas.  Time  was  no  longer  limited.  I was  no 
longer  a slave  to  the  hands  of  the  clock.  Genius  is  experience.  Some  seem  to  think 
that  it  is  a gift  or  talent,  but  it  is  the  fruit  of  long  experience  in  many  lives.  Some  are 
older  souls  than  others,  and  so  they  know  more.  The  discovery  of  Reincarnation  put 
my  mind  at  ease.  If  you  preserve  a record  of  this  conversation,  write  it  so  that  it  puts 
men’s  minds  at  ease.  I would  like  to  communicate  to  others  the  calmness  that  the 
long  view  of  life  gives  to  us." 

General  George  S.  Patton  was  a staunch  believer  in  reincarnation  and,  along  with  many 
other  members  of  his  family,  often  claimed  to  have  seen  vivid,  lifelike  visions  of  his 
ancestors.  In  particular,  Patton  believed  he  was  a reincarnation  of  Carthaginian  General 
Hannibal. 

The  most  detailed  collections  of  personal  reports  in  favor  of  reincarnation  have  been 
published  by  Professor  Ian  Stevenson,  from  the  University  of  Virginia,  in  books  such  as 
Twenty  Cases  Suggestive  of  Reincarnation. 

Stevenson  spent  over  40  years  devoted  to  the  study  of  children  who  have  apparently  spoken 
about  a past  life.  In  each  case,  Professor  Stevenson  methodically  documented  the  child's 
statements.  Then  he  identified  the  deceased  person  the  child  allegedly  identified  with,  and 
verified  the  facts  of  the  deceased  person's  life  that  matched  the  child's  memory.  He  also 
matched  birthmarks  and  birth  defects  to  wounds  and  scars  on  the  deceased,  verified  by 
medical  records  such  as  autopsy  photographs. 

In  a fairly  typical  case,  a boy  in  Beirut  spoke  of  being  a 25-year-old  mechanic,  thrown  to  his 
death  from  a speeding  car  on  a beach  road.  According  to  multiple  witnesses,  the  boy 
provided  the  name  of  the  driver,  the  exact  location  of  the  crash,  the  names  of  the  mechanic's 
sisters  and  parents  and  cousins,  and  the  people  he  went  hunting  with  — all  of  which  turned 
out  to  match  the  life  of  a man  who  had  died  several  years  before  the  boy  was  born,  and  who 
had  no  apparent  connection  to  the  boy's  family. 

Stevenson  believed  that  his  strict  methods  ruled  out  all  possible  "normal"  explanations  for 
the  child’s  memories.  However,  it  should  be  noted  that  a significant  majority  of  Professor 
Stevenson's  reported  cases  of  reincarnation  originate  in  Eastern  societies,  where  dominant 
religions  often  permit  the  concept  of  reincarnation.  Following  this  type  of  criticism,  Stevenson 
published  a book  on  European  cases  suggestive  of  reincarnation. "

"The  cartouche  of  Akhenaten's  god  and  heavenly  father,  the  Aten,  bore  the  name  Imram.  In 
the  Bible,  Moses  is  referred  to  as  the  son  ofAmram.  the  Hebrew  equivalent. 


231 


The  name  of  the  Egyptian  deity  Aten  transliterates  into  the  Hebrew  word  Adon.  Adon, 
which  is  translated  by  English  Bibles  as  "the  Lord"  (and  Adonai,  translated  as  "my  Lord")  is 
used  along  with  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  in  the  Bible  as  the  exclusive  personal  names  of  God. 
Moreover,  in  ancient  times,  the  name  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  was  written,  but  never  spoken. 
Whenever  the  written  name  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  was  to  be  read  out  loud,  Adon  (Aten)  was 
voiced  instead.  The  written  form  of  Adon  is  infrequent,  however,  its  limited  usage  is 
significant,  especially  in  the  first  six  books  of  the  Bible  (See  under  "LORD"  in  Strong's 
Exhaustive  Concordance),  where  it  is  reserved  for  the  following  applications  alone:  Moses 
addresses  God  using  the  title  Adon/ Aten  (Exodus  4:10,13;  5:22;  34:9;  Numbers  14:17; 
Deuteronomy  3:23;  7:26;  10:17);  Moses,  himself,  is  addressed  both  by  Aaron 
(Ex.32:22;  Num.  12:11)  and  by  Joshua  (Numbers  11:28)  using  the  title  Adon/Aten;  and 
Joshua  also  addresses  God  using  the  title  Adon/Aten  (Joshua  5:14  b;  7:7).  As 
mentioned  above,  there  is  an  established  relationship  between  the  literature  of  the  Egyptian 
18th  Dynasty  and  the  Bible.  Psalm  104  is  an  embellishment  of  the  Hymn  to  the  Aten  which 
was  found  by  archaeologists  at  the  city  of  Akhetaten."

"Recent  and  non-Biblical  view  places  Moses  as  a noble  in  the  court  of  the  Pharaoh 
Akhenaten.  A significant  number  of  scholars,  from  Sigmund  Freud  to  Joseph  Campbell, 
suggest  that  Moses  may  have  fled  Egypt  after  Akhenaten's  death  (ca.  1334  BC)  when  many 
of  the  pharaoh's  monotheistic  reforms  were  being  violently  reversed.  The  principal  ideas 
behind  this  theory  are:  the  monotheistic  religion  of  Akhenaten  being  a possible 
predecessor  to  Moses'  monotheism,  and  the  "Amarna  Letters",  written  by  nobles  to 
Akhenaten.  which  describe  raiding  bands  of  "Habiru"  attacking  the  Egyptian  territories  in 
Mesopotamia. "

104  "...Amenhotep  III..." 

"Amenhotep  III,  meaning  Amun  is  Satisfied  was  the  ninth  pharaoh  of  the  Eighteenth 
dynasty.  According  to  different  authors,  he  ruled  Egypt  from  June  1391  BC-December  1353 
BCE  or  June  1388  BCE  to  December  1351  BC/1350  BCE  after  his  father  Thutmose  IV  died. 
Amenhotep  III  was  the  son  of  Thutmose  IV  by  Mutemwia,  a minor  wife  of  Amenhotep's 
father.  Amenhotep  III  fathered  two  sons  with  his  Great  Royal  Wife  Tiye.  a great  queen 
known  as  the  progenitor  of  monotheism  via  the  Crown  Prince  Tuthmose  who  predeceased 
his  father,  and  his  second  son,  Akhenaten,  who  ultimately  succeeded  him  to  the  throne. "

105  "...Akhenaten..." 

"Akhenaten,  meaning  Effective  spirit  of  Aten,  first  known  as  Amenhotep  IV  (sometimes  read 
as  Amenophis  IV  and  meaning  Amun  is  Satisfied)  before  his  first  year,  was  a Pharaoh  of  the 
Eighteenth  dynasty  of  Egypt.  He  is  especially  noted  for  attempting  to  compel  the  Egyptian 
population  in  the  monotheistic  worship  of  Aten,  although  there  are  doubts  as  to  how 
successful  he  was  at  this. 

Amenhotep  IV  succeeded  his  father  after  Amenhotep  Ill's  death  at  the  end  of  his  38-year 
reign,  possibly  after  a coregency  lasting  between  either  1 to  2 or  12  years.  Suggested  dates 
for  Akhenaten's  reign  (subject  to  the  debates  surrounding  Egyptian  chronology)  are  from 
1353  BCE  - 1336  BCE  or  1351  BCE  - 1334  BCE  Akhenaten's  chief  wife  was  Nefertiti. 


232 


His  religious  reformation  appears  to  have  begun  with  his  decision  to  celebrate  a Sed  festival 
in  his  third  regnal  year  - a highly  unusual  step,  since  a Sed-festival,  a sort  of  royal  jubilee 
intended  to  reinforce  the  Pharaoh 's  divine  powers  of  kingship,  was  traditionally  held  in  the 
thirtieth  year  of  a Pharaoh's  reign. 

Year  eight  marked  the  beginning  of  construction  on  his  new  capital,  Akhetaten  ('Horizon  of 
Aten),  at  the  site  known  today  as  Amarna.  In  the  same  year,  Amenhotep  IV  officially 
changed  his  name  to  Akhenaten  ('Effective  Spirit  of  Aten)  as  evidence  of  his  shifting 
religious  perspective.  Very  soon  afterward  he  centralized  Egyptian  religious  practices  in 
Akhenaten,  though  construction  of  the  city  seems  to  have  continued  for  several  more  years. 
In  honor  of  Aten,  Akhenaten  also  oversaw  the  construction  of  some  of  the  most  massive 
temple  complexes  in  ancient  Egypt,  including  one  at  Karnak,  close  to  the  old  temple  of 
Amun.  In  these  new  temples,  Aten  was  worshipped  in  the  open  sunlight,  rather  than  in  dark 
temple  enclosures,  as  had  been  the  previous  custom.  Akhenaten  is  also  believed  to  have 
composed  the  Great  Hymn  to  the  Aten. 

Initially.  Akhenaten  presented  Aten  as  a variant  of  the  familiar  supreme  deity  Amun-Ra  (itself 
the  result  of  an  earlier  rise  to  prominence  of  the  cult  of  Amun,  resulting  in  Amun  becoming 
merged  with  the  sun  god  Ra),  in  an  attempt  to  put  his  ideas  in  a familiar  Egyptian  religious 
context.  However,  by  Year  9 of  his  reign  Akhenaten  declared  that  Aten  was  not  merely  the 
supreme  god,  but  the  only  god,  and  that  he,  Akhenaten,  was  the  only  intermediary  between 
Aten  and  his  people.  He  ordered  the  defacing  of  Amun's  temples  throughout  Egypt,  and  in  a 
number  of  instances  inscriptions  of  the  plural  'gods'  were  also  removed. 

Aten's  name  is  also  written  differently  after  Year  9,  to  emphasize  the  radicalism  of  the  new 
regime,  which  included  a ban  on  idols,  with  the  exception  of  a rayed  solar  disc,  in  which  the 
rays  (commonly  depicted  ending  in  hands)  appear  to  represent  the  unseen  spirit  of  Aten, 
who  by  then  was  evidently  considered  not  merely  a sun  god,  but  rather  a universal  deity.  It  is 
important  to  note,  however,  that  representations  of  the  Aten  were  always  accompanied  with 
a sort  of  "hieroglyphic  footnote",  stating  that  the  representation  of  the  sun  as  All- 
encompassing  Creator  was  to  be  taken  as  just  that:  a representation  of  something  that,  by 
its  very  nature  as  something  transcending  creation,  cannot  be  fully  or  adequately 
represented  by  any  one  part  of  that  creation. " 

This  Amarna  period  is  also  associated  with  a serious  outbreak  of  a pandemic,  possibly  the 
plague,  or  polio,  or  perhaps  the  world's  first  recorded  outbreak  of  influenza,  which  came  from 
Egypt  and  spread  throughout  the  Middle  East,  killing  Suppiluliuma  I,  the  Hittite  King. 

Influenza  is  a disease  associated  with  the  close  proximity  of  water  fowl,  pigs  and  humans, 
and  its  origin  as  a pandemic  disease  may  be  due  to  the  development  of  agricultural  systems 
that  allow  the  mixing  of  these  animals  and  their  wastes. 

Some  of  the  first  archaeological  evidence  for  this  agricultural  system  is  during  the  Amarna 
period  of  Ancient  Egypt,  and  the  pandemic  that  followed  this  period  throughout  the  Ancient 
Near  East  may  have  been  the  earliest  recorded  outbreak  of  influenza.  However,  the  precise 
nature  of  this  Egyptian  plague  remains  unknown  and  Asia  has  also  been  suggested 
as  a possible  site  of  origin  of  pandemic  influenza  in  humans.  The  prevalence  of  disease 
may  help  explain  the  rapidity  with  which  the  site  of  Akhetaten  was  subsequently  abandoned. 
It  may  also  explain  why  later  generations  considered  the  gods  to  have  turned  against 
the  Amarna  monarchs.  The  black  plague  has  also  been  suggested  due  to  the  fact  that  at 
Amarna  the  traces  of  the  plague  have  been  found. "

...  Nefertiti... 


"Nefertiti  (pronounced  at  the  time  something  like  *nafrati.1a)  (c.  1370  BCE  - c.  1330  BCE) 
was  the  Great  Royal  Wife  (or  chief  consort/wife)  of  the  Egyptian  Pharaoh  Akhenaten.  She 
was  the  mother-in-law  and  probable  stepmother  of  the  Pharaoh  Tutankhamun.  Nefertiti  may 
have  also  ruled  as  pharaoh  in  her  own  right  under  the  name  Neferneferuaten  briefly  after  her 
husband's  death  and  before  the  accession  of  Tutankhamun,  although  this  identification  is 
doubted  by  the  latest  research.  Her  name  roughly  translates  to  "the  beautiful  (or  perfect)  one 
has  arrived".  She  also  shares  her  name  with  a type  of  elongated  gold  bead,  called  "nefer", 
that  she  was  often  portrayed  as  wearing.  She  was  made  famous  by  her  bust,  now  in  Berlin's 
Altes  Museum. 

Nefertiti's  parentage  is  not  known  with  certainty,  but  it  is  now  generally  believed  that  she  was 
the  daughter  of  AY  later  to  be  pharaoh.  Another  theory  that  gained  some  support  identified 
Nefertiti  with  the  Mitanni  princess  Tadukhipa.  The  name  Nimerithin  has  been  mentioned  in 
older  scrolls,  as  an  alternative  name,  but  this  has  not  yet  been  officially  confirmed.  It  has 
also  been  suggested  that  Nefertiti  was  a daughter  or  relative  of  Amenhotep  III,  or  of  the  high 
Theban  nobility.  Another  theory  places  Nefertiti  as  the  daughter  of  Sitamun.  half-sister  of 
Amenhotep  III.  Queen  laret  was  Sitamun's  mother,  laret  held  important  hereditary  titles  that 
ceased  to  exist  after  the  ascension  of  Amenhotep  III.  Sitamun  is  elevated  to  Great  Royal 
Wife  beside  Tiye  but  there  is  no  indication  that  she  ever  had  children  and  if  so  with  whom. 
There  is  some  evidence  based  upon  the  titles  of  each  of  these  women  that  suggests  that 
they  were  somehow  related  to  one  another  in  her  family...  Her  name  means  "beautiful  one". 
Nefertiti  only  worshiped  one  god  by  the  name  of  Aten.  Depending  on  which  reconstruction  of 
the  genealogy  of  the  ancient  Egyptian  pharaohs  is  followed,  her  husband  Akhenaten  may 
have  been  the  father  or  half-brother  of  the  Pharaoh  Tutankhaten  (later  called  Tutankhamen). 

She  had  six  known  daughters  with  the  Pharaoh  Akhenaten.  This  is  a list  with  suggested 
years  of  birth: 

• Meritaten:  Before  year  one  or  the  very  beginning  of  year  one. (1356  BC). 

• Meketaten:  Year  1 or  three  ( 1 349  BC). 

• Ankhesenpaaten,  later  queen  of  Tutankhamun 

• Neferneferuaten  Tasherit:  Year  6 (1344  BC) 

• Neferneferure:  Year  9 (1341  BC). 

• Setepenre:  Year  1 1 (1339  BC)."

107  "...  Tutankhamun..." 

"He  was  the  son  of  Akhenaten,  also  known  as  Amenhotep  IV,  and  his  minor  wife  Queen 
Kiya.  Queen  Kiya's  title  was  "Greatly  Beloved  Wife  of  Akhenaten"  so  it  is  possible  that  she 
could  have  borne  him  an  heir.  Supporting  this  theory,  images  on  the  tomb  wall  in  the  tomb  of 
Akhenaten  show  a royal  fan  bearer  standing  next  to  Kiya's  death  bed,  fanning  what  is  either 
a princess  or  more  likely  a wet  nurse  holding  a baby,  which  would  indicate  that  the  wet  nurse 
was  holding  the  boy-king-to-be. 

Tutankhamun  was  only  nine  or  ten  years  old  when  he  became  pharaoh,  and  reigned  for 
approximately  ten  years,  making  him  nineteen  years  old  at  death.  In  historical  terms 
Tutankhamun  significance  stems  from  his  rejection  of  the  radical  religious  innovations 


234 


introduced  by  his  predecessor  Akenhaten  and  that  his  tomb,  uniquely,  in  the  Valley  of  the 
Kings  was  discovered  almost  completely  intact  — the  most  complete  ancient  Egyptian  tomb 
ever  found.  As  Tutankhamun  began  his  reign  at  such  an  early  age,  his  vizier  and  eventual 
successor  Ay  was  probably  making  most  of  the  important  political  decisions  during 
Tutankhamun's  reign."

..."Brothers  of  the  Snake"... 

"It  cannot  be  overemphasized  that  the  serpent  or  snake  plays  no  role  in  the  teachings  or 
ritual  of  regular  Freemasonry.  Its  introduction  as  a fastener  for  masonic  aprons  is  easily  seen 
as  the  work  of  regalia  manufacturers.  That  said,  the  symbolic  usages  of  the  snake  are  of 
interest  to  students  of  religion,  esoterica,  and  of  history. 

On  the  other  hand.  George  Oliver  writes  that  the  serpent  is  a "significant  symbol  in 
Freemasonry : Moses'  rod  changed  into  a serpent,  "The  serpentine  emblem  of  Masonry...  is 
a bright  symbol  of  Hope;  for  the  promised  Deliverer  will  open  the  gates  of  Heaven  to  his 
faithful  followers  by  bruising  its  head,  and  they  shall  enter  triumphantly,  trampling  on  its 
prostrate  body. " "A  striking  emblem  of  Christianity  triumphant;  and  bearing  an  undoubted 
reference  to  the  promise  made  to  Adam  after  his  unhappy  fall. " In  mainstream  Christian 
beliefs,  the  snake  represents  temptation  and  evil:  the  snake  is  the  servant  of  Satan.  But  it 
has  also  had  its  more  positive  significance. 

In  ancient  Egyptian  mythology  the  world  was  created  by  four  powers,  one  of  which  was  the 
sun  god  Amun-Ra  who  took  the  form  of  a snake  and  emerged  from  the  water  to 
inseminated  the  cosmic  egg,  the  kneph,  which  was  created  by  the  other  gods.  In  another 
story,  a god  named  Hathor  transformed  himself  into  a poisonous  snake  called  Agep  and 
killed  Seth.  He  also  guarded  the  wheat  fields  where  the  spirit  of  Horus  was  said  to  live, 
bringing  the  sheaf  of  wheat  to  be  regarded  as  the  symbol  of  rebirth.  W.  Bro.  H.  Meij  suggests 
that  this  is  the  root  of  the  masonic  usage  of  an  ear  of  corn  in  the  Fellowcraft  degree. 

In  Greek  mythology  Zeus  freed  two  eagles  which  met  at  the  centre  of  the  world,  sometimes 
called  the  navel  of  the  earth,  which  is  guarded  by  a snake  called  Pytho.  The  symbol  Serpens 
Candivorens,  a snake  biting  its  tail,  represents  the  unending  cycle  of  nature  between 
destruction,  and  new  creation,  life  and  death.  The  Greeks  called  this  figure  Ouroboros. 
Chinese  mythology  maintained  that  the  world  was  surrounded  by  two  entwined  snakes, 
which  symbolized  the  power  and  wisdom  of  the  creator.  In  another  legend  the  Buddha  was 
attacked  by  a snake  which  bound  itself  seven  times  around  his  waist.  Due  to  the  inner 
strength  of  the  Buddha,  the  snake  could  not  kill  him  but  instead  became  his  follower. 

Astrologers,  or  those  interested  in  the  historical  development  of  astrology,  will  point  out  that 
some  systems  include  a thirteenth  sign  of  the  zodiac  known  as  Ophiuchus  Serpentarius,  the 
Serpent  Holder.  This  constellation  lies  between  Sagittarius  and  Libra,  somewhat  over 
Scorpio.  In  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  this  constellation  was  called  Alpheichius. 
Known  as  the  "God  of  Invocation ",  this  house  was  named  after  the  legendary  healer, 
Ophiuchus  (Asclepius).  The  two  serpents  in  his  hands  later  replaced  the  twin  ribbons  around 
the  caduceus  which  became  a symbol  for  physicians. "

"The  High  Priest  of  Amun  or  First  Prophet  of  Amun  was  the  highest  ranking  priest  in  the 
priesthood  of  the  ancient  Egyptian  god  Amun. 

"Maya"  was  the  High  Priest  of  Amen  until  year  4 of  Akhenaten.  Redford  speculates  that 
Maya  is  short  for  Ptahmose  and  that  Ptahmose  served  from  the  end  of  the  reign  of 
Amenhotep  III  until  the  beginning  of  the  time  of  Akhenaten.

110  "...Moses..." 

"(The  Exodus  of  Hebrew  slave  from  Egypt,  led  by  Moses)  may  have  occurred  around  1400s 
BC,  since  the  Amarna  letters,  written  ca.  forty  years  later  to  Pharaohs  Amenhotep  III  and 
Amenhotep  IV  (Akhenaten)  indicate  that  Canaan  was  being  invaded  by  the  "Habiru"  — 
whom  some  scholars  in  the  1950s  to  1970s  interpret  to  mean  "Hebrews". 

Exodus  34:29-35  tells  that  after  meeting  with  God  the  skin  of  Moses'  face  became  radiant, 
frightening  the  Israelites  and  leading  Moses  to  wear  a veil.  Jonathan  Kirsch,  in  his  book 
Moses:  A Life,  thought  that,  since  he  subsequently  had  to  wear  a veil  to  hide  it,  Moses'  face 
was  disfigured  by  a sort  of  "divine  radiation  burn".

111  ..  Yahweh..." 

"The  cartouche  of  Akhenaten's  god  and  heavenly  father,  the  Aten,  bore  the  name  Imram.  In 
the  Bible,  Moses  is  referred  to  as  the  son  of  Amram,  the  Hebrew  equivalent.  The  name  of 
the  Egyptian  deity  Aten  transliterates  into  the  Hebrew  word  Adon.  Adon,  which  is 
translated  by  English  Bibles  as  "the  Lord"  (and  Adonai,  translated  as  "my  Lord")  is  used 
along  with  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  in  the  Bible  as  the  exclusive  personal  names  of  God.  Moreover, 
in  ancient  times,  the  name  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  was  written,  but  never  spoken.  Whenever  the 
written  name  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  was  to  be  read  out  loud,  Adon  (Aten)  was  voiced  instead.  The 
written  form  of  Adon  is  infrequent,  however,  its  limited  usage  is  significant,  especially  in  the 
first  six  books  of  the  Bible  (See  under  "LORD"  in  Strong's  Exhaustive  Concordance),  where 
it  is  reserved  for  the  following  applications  alone:  Moses  addresses  God  using  the  title 
Adon/ Aten  (Exodus  4:10,13;  5:22;  34:9;  Numbers  14:17;  Deuteronomy  3:23;  7:26; 
10:17);  Moses,  himself,  is  addressed  both  by  Aaron  (Ex. 32:22;  Num. 12:11)  and  by 
Joshua  (Numbers  11:28)  using  the  title  Adon/Aten;  and  Joshua  also  addresses  God 
using  the  title  Adon/Aten  (Joshua  5:14  b;  7:7).  As  mentioned  above,  there  is  an 
established  relationship  between  the  literature  of  the  Egyptian  1 8th  Dynasty  and  the  Bible. 
Psalm  104  is  an  embellishment  of  the  Hymn  to  the  Aten  which  was  found  by  archaeologists 
at  the  city  of  Akhetaten. "

"Yahweh  is  an  English  rendition  of  'run,  the  name  of  the  God  of  Israel.  During  the 
Babylonian  captivity,  the  Hebrew  language  spoken  by  the  Jews  was  replaced  by  the

Aramaic  language  of  their  Babylonian  captors,  which  was  closely  related  to  Hebrew  and, 
while  sharing  many  vocabulary  words  in  common,  contained  some  words  that  sounded  the 
same  or  similar  but  had  other  meanings.  In  Aramaic,  the  Hebrew  word  for  “ blaspheme ’’  used 
in  Leviticus  24:16,  “Anyone  who  blasphemes  the  name  of  YHWH  must  be  put  to  death’’

112  "...Torah. ..decoded..." 

"The  Bible  Code  is  a best-selling  controversial  book  by  Michael  Drosnin,  first  published  in 
1997.  A sequel,  The  Bible  Code  II,  was  published  in  2002  and  also  reached  best-seller 
status. 

Drosnin  describes  an  alleged  "Bible  code",  in  which  messages  are  encoded  in  the  Hebrew 
bible.  The  messages  are  purported  to  be  hidden  in  the  Torah,  and  can  be  deciphered  by 
placing  the  letters  of  various  Torah  passages  at  equal  intervals  in  a text  that  has  been 
formatted  to  fit  inside  a graph. 

Drosnin  suggests  that  the  Code  was  written  by  extraterrestrial  life  (which  he  claims  also 
brought  the  DNA  of  the  human  genetic  code  to  Earth).  Drosnin  elaborates  on  this  theory  in 
The  Bible  Code  II,  suggesting  that  the  alien  who  brought  the  code  left  the  key  to  the  code  in 
a steel  obelisk.  Drosnin  attempted  to  find  this  obelisk,  which  he  believes  is  buried  near  the 
Dead  Sea.  Drosnin's  book  is  based  on  the  technique  described  in  the  paper  "Equidistant 
Letter  Sequences  in  the  Book  of  Genesis"  by  Professor  Eliyahu  Rips  of  the  Hebrew 
University  in  Israel  with  Doron  Witztum  and  Yoav  Rosenberg. "

113  "...  Buddha  ..." 

"The  following  points  are  the  a few  of  the  fundamentals  of  the  teachings  attributed  to 
Gautama  Buddha: 

The  Four  Noble  Truths:  that  suffering  is  an  inherent  part  of  existence;  that  the  origin 
of  suffering  is  ignorance  and  the  main  symptoms  of  that  ignorance  are  attachment  and 
craving:  that  attachment  and  craving  can  be  ceased;  and  that  following  the  Noble  Eightfold 
Path  will  lead  to  the  cessation  of  attachment  and  craving  and  therefore  suffering. 

The  Noble  Eightfold  Path:  right  understanding,  right  thought,  right  speech,  right 
action,  right  livelihood,  right  effort,  right  mindfulness,  and  right  concentration. 

Dependent  origination:  that  any  phenomenon  'exists'  only  because  of  the  'existence' 
of  other  phenomena  in  a complex  web  of  cause  and  effect  covering  time  past,  present  and 
future. 

Because  all  things  are  thus  conditioned  and  transient  (anicca),  they  have  no  real 
independent  identity  (anatta). 

Anicca  (Sanskrit:  anitya):  That  all  things  are  impermanent. 

Anatta  (Sanskrit:  anatman):  That  the  perception  of  a constant  "self  is  an  illusion. 
Dukkha  (Sanskrit:  du  kha):  That  all  beings  suffer  from  all  situations  due  to  unclear 

mind. 

According  to  tradition,  the  Buddha  emphasized  ethics  and  correct  understanding.  He 
questioned  the  average  person's  notions  of  divinity  and  salvation.  He  stated  that  gods  are 
subjected  to  karma  themselves;  and  the  Buddha  is  solely  a guide  and  teacher  for  the 


237 


sentient  beings  who  must  tread  the  path  of  Nirva  a themselves  to  attain  the  spiritual 
awakening  called  bodhi  and  see  truth  and  reality  as  it  is.  The  Buddhist  system  of  insight  and 
meditation  practice  is  not  believed  to  have  been  revealed  divinely,  but  by  the  understanding 
of  the  true  nature  of  the  mind,  which  must  be  discovered  by  personally  treading  a spiritual 
path  guided  by  the  Buddha's  teachings."

"The  Daodejing,  often  called  simply  the  Laozi  after  its  reputed  author,  describes  the  Dao  (or 
Tao)  as  the  mystical  source  and  ideal  of  all  existence:  it  is  unseen,  but  not  transcendent, 
immensely  powerful  yet  supremely  humble,  being  the  root  of  all  things.  According  to  the 
Daodejing,  humans  have  no  special  place  within  the  Dao,  being  just  one  of  its  many  ("ten 
thousand")  manifestations.  People  have  desires  and  free  will  (and  thus  are  able  to  alter  their 
own  nature).  Many  act  "unnaturally",  upsetting  the  natural  balance  of  the  Dao.  The 
Daodejing  intends  to  lead  students  to  a "return"  to  their  natural  state,  in  harmony  with  Dao. 
Language  and  conventional  wisdom  are  critically  assessed.  Taoism  views  them  as 
inherently  biased  and  artificial,  widely  using  paradoxes  to  sharpen  the  point. 

Wu  wei,  literally  "non-action"  or  "not  acting",  is  a central  concept  of  the  Daodejing.  The 
concept  of  wu  wei  is  very  complex  and  reflected  in  the  words'  multiple  meanings,  even  in 
English  translation:  it  can  mean  "not  doing  anything",  "not  forcing",  "not  acting"  in  the 
theatrical  sense,  "creating  nothingness",  "acting  spontaneously",  and  "flowing  with  the 
moment. " 

Laozi  used  the  term  broadly  with  simplicity  and  humility  as  key  virtues,  often  in  contrast  to 
selfish  action.  On  a political  level,  it  means  avoiding  such  circumstances  as  war,  harsh  laws 
and  heavy  taxes.  Some  Taoists  see  a connection  between  wu  wei  and  esoteric  practices, 
such  as  the  "sitting  in  oblivion"  (emptying  the  mind  of  bodily  awareness  and  thought)  found 
in  the  Zhuangzi. 

Taoism  is  a religion  addressing  the  quest  of  immortality."

115  "...Zoroaster..." 

"The  best  known  (Zoroastrians  were  the)  Magi,  the  "Wise  Men  from  the  East"  in  the  Bible, 
(who  brought  gifts  to  Bethlehem)  and  whose  graves  Marco  Polo  claimed  to  have  seen  in 
what  is  today  the  district  of  Saveh,  near  Tehran.  Iran.  In  English,  the  term  is  the  origin  of 
the  words  magic  and  magician. 

"Many  traits  of  Zoroastrianism  can  be  traced  back  to  the  culture  and  beliefs  of  the  proto- 
Indo-lranian  period,  and  Zoroastrianism  consequently  shares  some  elements  with  the 
historical  Vedic  religion  that  also  has  its  origins  in  that  era. 

Central  to  Zoroastrianism  is  the  emphasis  on  moral  choice,  to  choose  between  the 
responsibility  and  duty  for  which  one  is  in  the  mortal  world,  or  to  give  up  this  duty  and 
so  facilitate  the  work  ofdruj.  Similarly,  predestination  is  rejected  in  Zoroastrian  teaching. 
Humans  bear  responsibility  for  all  situations  they  are  in,  and  in  the  way  they  act  to  one 
another.  Reward,  punishment,  happiness  and  grief  all  depend  on  how  individuals  live 
their  life. 


238 


In  Zoroastrianism,  good  transpires  for  those  who  do  righteous  deeds.  Those  who  do  evil 
have  themselves  to  blame  for  their  ruin.  Zoroastrian  morality  is  then  to  be  summed  up  in  the 
simple  phrase,  "good  thoughts,  good  words,  good  deeds". 

There  is  one  universal  and  transcendental  God,  Ahura  Mazda,  the  one  uncreated  creator 
and  to  whom  all  worship  is  ultimately  directed. 

Ahura  Mazda's  creation  — evident  as  truth  and  order  — is  the  antithesis  of  chaos,  falsehood 
and  disorder.  The  resulting  conflict  involves  the  entire  universe,  including  humanity,  which 
has  an  active  role  to  play  in  the  conflict. 

Active  participation  in  life  through  good  thoughts,  good  words  and  good  deeds  is  necessary 
to  ensure  happiness  and  to  keep  the  chaos  at  bay.  This  active  participation  is  a central 
element  in  Zoroaster's  concept  of  free  will. "

116  "The  land  masses  continually  crack,  crumble  and  drift." 

"Plate  tectonics  (from  Greek  tsktluv,  tekton  "builder"  or  "mason")  is  a theory  of  geology  that 
has  been  developed  to  explain  the  observed  evidence  for  large  scale  motions  of  the  Earth's 
lithosphere.  The  theory  encompassed  and  superseded  the  older  theory  of  continental  drift 
from  the  first  half  of  the  20th  century  and  the  concept  of  seafloor  spreading  developed  during 
the  1960s. 

The  outermost  part  of  the  Earth 's  interior  is  made  up  of  two  layers:  above  is  the  lithosphere, 
comprising  the  crust  and  the  rigid  uppermost  part  of  the  mantle.  Below  the  lithosphere  lies 
the  asthenosphere.  Although  solid,  the  asthenosphere  has  relatively  low  viscosity  and  shear 
strength  and  can  flow  like  a liquid  on  geological  time  scales.  The  deeper  mantle  below  the 
asthenosphere  is  more  rigid  again.  This  is,  however,  not  because  of  cooler  temperatures  but 
due  to  high  pressure. 

The  lithosphere  is  broken  up  into  what  are  called  tectonic  plates  — in  the  case  of  Earth, 
there  are  seven  major  and  many  minor  plates.  The  lithospheric  plates  ride  on  the 
asthenosphere.  These  plates  move  in  relation  to  one  another  at  one  of  three  types  of  plate 
boundaries:  convergent  or  collision  boundaries,  divergent  or  spreading  boundaries,  and 
transform  boundaries.  Earthquakes,  volcanic  activity,  mountain-building,  and  oceanic  trench 
formation  occur  along  plate  boundaries.  The  lateral  movement  of  the  plates  is  typically  at 
speeds  of  5 - 10  centimeters  / yr."

117  " The  magnetic  poles  of  the  planet  shift  radically  about  once  every  20,000  years”. 

"The  pole  shift  theory  is  a hypothesis  that  the  axis  of  rotation  of  a planet  has  not  always 
been  at  its  present-day  locations  or  that  the  axis  will  not  persist  there:  in  other  words,  that  its 
physical  poles  had  been  or  will  be  shifted.  Pole  shift  theory  is  almost  always  discussed  in  the 
context  of  Earth,  but  other  solar  system  bodies  may  have  experienced  axial  reorientation 
during  their  existences. 


239 


Pole  shift  theories  are  not  to  be  confused  with  plate  tectonics,  the  well-accepted  geological 
theory  that  the  Earth's  surface  consists  of  solid  plates  which  shift  over  a fluid  asthenosphere; 
nor  with  continental  drift,  the  corollary  to  plate  tectonics  which  maintains  that  locations  of  the 
continents  have  moved  slowly  over  the  face  of  the  earth,  resulting  in  the  gradual  emerging 
and  breakup  of  continents  and  oceans  over  hundreds  of  millions  of  years. 

Pole  shift  theories  are  also  not  to  be  confused  with  Geomagnetic  reversal,  the  periodic 
reversal  of  the  earth's  magnetic  field  (effectively  switching  the  north  and  south  magnetic 
poles).  Geomagnetic  reversal  has  more  acceptance  in  the  scientific  community  than  pole 
shift  theories. "

118  " This  operation  is  managed  by  the  secret  police..." 

"Secret  police  (sometimes  political  police)  are  a police  organization  which  operates  in 
secrecy  to  maintain  national  security  against  internal  threats  to  the  state.  Secret  police 
forces  are  typically  associated  with  totalitarian  regimes,  as  they  are  often  used  to 
maintain  the  political  power  of  the  state  rather  than  uphold  the  rule  of  law.  Secret  police  are 
law  enforcement  organizations  officially  endowed  with  authority  superior  to  civil  police  forces, 
operating  outside  the  normal  boundaries  of  the  law,  and  they  are  often  accountable  only 
to  the  executive  branch  of  the  government.  They  operate  entirely  or  partially  in  secrecy , 
i.  e.,  most  or  all  of  their  operations  are  obscure  and  hidden  from  the  general  public  and  from 
all  government  officials,  except  for  the  topmost  executive  officials.  Secret  police 
organizations  have  often  been  used  as  an  instrument  of  political  repression.  States 
where  the  secret  police  wield  significant  power  are  sometimes  referred  to  as  police  states. 
Secret  police  differ  from  the  domestic  security  agencies  in  modern  liberal  democracies, 
because  domestic  security  agencies  are  generally  subject  to  government  regulation, 
reporting  requirements,  and  other  accountability  measures.  Despite  such  oversight,  there 
still  exists  the  possibility  of  domestic-security  agencies  acting  unlawfully  and  taking  on  some 
characteristics  of  secret  police. 

Secret  police  not  only  have  the  traditional  police  authority  to  arrest  and  detain,  but  in  some 
cases  they  are  given  unsupervised  control  of  the  length  of  detention,  assigned  to  implement 
punishments  independent  of  the  public  judiciary,  and  allowed  to  administer  those 
punishments  without  external  review.  The  tactics  of  investigation  and  intimidation  used  by 
secret  police  enable  them  to  accrue  so  much  power  that  they  usually  operate  with  little  or  no 
practical  restraint.  Secret-police  organizations  employ  internal  spies  and  civilian 
informants  to  find  protest  leaders  or  dissidents,  and  they  may  also  employ  agents 
provocateurs  to  incite  political  opponents  to  perform  illegal  acts  against  the  government, 
whereupon  such  opponents  may  be  arrested.  Secret  police  may  open  mail,  tap  telephone 
lines,  use  various  techniques  to  trick,  blackmail,  or  coerce  relatives  or  friends  of  a 
suspect  into  providing  information.  The  secret  police  are  renowned  for  raiding  homes 
between  midnight  and  dawn,  to  apprehend  people  suspected  of  dissent. 

People  apprehended  by  the  secret  police  are  often  arbitrarily  arrested  and  detained 
without  due  process.  While  in  detention,  arrestees  may  be  tortured  or  subjected  to 
inhumane  treatment.  Suspects  may  not  receive  a public  trial,  and  instead  may  be  convicted 
in  a kangaroo  court-style  show  trial,  or  by  a secret  tribunal. 

Secret  police  have  been  used  by  many  types  of  governments.  Secret  police  forces  in 
dictatorships  and  totalitarian  states  usually  use  violence  and  acts  of  terror  to 


240 


suppress  political  opposition  and  dissent,  and  may  use  death  squads  to  carry  out 
assassinations  and  "disappearances".  Although  secret  police  normally  do  not  exist  in 
democratic  states  there  are  different  varieties  of  democracy  and,  in  times  of  emergency  or 
war,  a democracy  may  lawfully  grant  its  policing  and  security  services  additional  or  sweeping 
powers,  which  may  be  seen  or  construed  as  a secret  police. "

119  "...using  false  provocation  operations  to  disguise  their  activities..." 

"False  flag  operations  are  covert  operations  conducted  by  governments, 
corporations,  or  other  organizations,  which  are  designed  to  appear  as  if  they  are 
being  carried  out  by  other  entities.  The  name  is  derived  from  the  military  concept  of  flying 
false  colors;  that  is,  flying  the  flag  of  a country  other  than  one's  own.  False  flag  operations 
are  not  limited  to  war  and  counter-insurgency  operations,  and  have  been  used  in  peace- 
time; for  example,  during  Italy's  strategy  of  tension. 

During  the  Italian  strategy  of  tension  in  which  several  bombings  in  the  1970s,  attributed  to 
far-left  organizations,  were  in  fact  carried  out  by  far-right  organizations  cooperating  with  the 
Italian  secret  services  (see  Operation  Gladio,  1969  Piazza  Fontana  bombing,  1972  Peteano 
attack  by  Vincenzo  Vinciguerra,  1973  assassination  attempt  of  former  Interior  Minister 
Mariano  Rumor,  1980  Bologna  massacre,  etc.  and  various  investigations,  for  example  by 
Guido  Saivini).  In  France,  the  Masada  Action  and  Defense  Movement,  supposedly  a Zionist 
group,  was  really  a neo-fascist  terrorist  group  which  hoped  to  increase  tension  between 
Arabs  and  Jews  in  France. 

False  flag  tactics  were  also  employed  during  the  Algerian  civil  war,  starting  in  the  mid-1994. 
Death  squads  composed  of  DRS(Departement  du  Renseignement  etde  la  Securite)  security 
forces  disguised  themselves  as  Islamist  terrorists  and  committed  false  flag  terror  attacks. 
Such  groups  included  the  OJAL  (Organisation  of  Young  Free  Algerians)  or  the  OSSRA 
(Secret  Organisation  for  the  safeguard  of  the  Algerian  Republic)  According  to  Roger  Faligot 
and  Pascal  Kropp  (1999),  the  OJAL  reminded  of  "the  Organization  of  the  French  Algerian 
Resistance  (ORAF),  a group  of  counter-terrorists  created  in  December  1956  by  the  DST 
(Direction  de  la  Surveillance  du  Territoire  / Territorial  Surveillance  Directorate)  whose 
mission  was  to  carry  out  terrorist  attacks  with  the  aim  of  quashing  any  hopes  of  political 
compromise. " 

On  the  night  of  Feb.  27,  1933  the  Reichstag  building  was  set  on  fire.  At  the  urging  of 
Hitler,  Hindenburg  responded  the  next  day  by  issuing  an  emergency  decree  “for  the 
Protection  of  the  people  and  the  State,”  which  stated:  “Restrictions  on  personal 
liberty,  on  the  right  of  free  expression  of  opinion,  including  freedom  of  the  press ; on 
the  rights  of  assembly  and  association;  and  violations  of  the  privacy  of  postal, 
telegraphic  and  telephonic  communications  and  warrants  for  house  searches,  orders 
for  confiscations  as  well  as  restrictions  on  property,  are  also  permissible  beyond  the 
legal  limits  otherwise  prescribed.  ” After  74  years,  the  question  of  who  actually  started  the 
Reichstag  fire  is  still  unknown  and  occasionally  debated. 

There  are  various  9/11  conspiracy  theories  land  a very  large  body  of  hard  evidence  - 
Editor I which  say  the  September  11,  2001  attacks  on  the  US  were  a false  flag 
operation. "

120  "...  mind-control  methods  developed  by  government  psychiatrists..." 

"William  Sargant  was  a consultant  to  the  British  Secret  Intelligence  Service  (MI5/MI6).  In 
1953  he  associated  with  Frank  Olson,  Deputy  Acting  Head  of  Special  Operations  for  the 
CIA,  investigating  the  use  of  mind-bending  drugs  at  the  Biological  Warfare  Centre  at  Porton 
Down. 

In  1944  he  collaborated  with  Slater  in  writing  An  Introduction  to  Physical  Methods  of 
T reatment  in  Psychiatry,  a textbook  on  biological  psychiatry  that  included  lobotomy 
and  shock  therapy  and  remained  in  print  for  three  decades. 

William  Sargant  was  a pioneer  in  methods  of  placing  false  memories  into  patients.  He 
attested  at  the  1977  U.S.  Senate  hearing,  "that  the  therapist  should  deliberately  distort 
the  facts  of  the  patient's  life-experience  to  achieve  heightened  emotional  response 
and  abreaction.  In  the  drunken  state  of  narcoanalysis  patients  are  prone  to  accept  the 
therapist's  false  constructions." 

In  1957  William  Sargant  published  one  of  the  first  books  on  the  psychology  of  brainwashing, 
Battle  for  the  Mind.  William  Sargant  connected  Pavlov’s  findings  to  the  ways  people  learned 
and  internalized  belief  systems.  Conditioned  behavior  patterns  could  be  changed  by 
stimulated  stresses  beyond  a dog’s  capacity  for  response,  in  essence  causing  a breakdown. 
This  could  also  be  caused  by  intense  signals,  longer  than  normal  waiting  periods,  rotating 
positive  and  negative  signals  and  changing  a dog’s  physical  condition,  as  through  illness. 
Depending  on  the  dog’s  initial  personality,  this  could  possibly  cause  a new  belief  system  to 
be  held  tenaciously.  Sargant  also  connected  Pavlov’s  findings  to  the  mechanisms  of  brain- 
washing in  religion  and  politics. 

Sargant  and  Dr  Ewen  Cameron  of  Project  MKULTRA  notoriety,  were  friends  and 
colleagues  who  shared  and  exchanged  views  and  information  on  brainwashing  and  de- 
patterning  techniques  and  their  mutual  researches  in  this  area.  Both  men  had  extensive  CIA 
and  British  Secret  Intelligence  Service  connections. 

The  aim  of  Cameron,  Sargant  and  the  CIA 's  researches  was  to  find  a way  to  obliterate 
the  memories  of  an  allied  spy  (’de-patterning)  and  implant  false  memories  at  a deep 
level  so  that  if  that  spy  was  captured  in  his  adoptive  country,  he  would  be  incapable  under 
duress  or  even  torture  of  revealing  his  true  American/British  allegiance.  He  would  only  be 
able  to  reveal  the  falsely  implanted  memories  that  supported  his  assumed  persona. 
This  concept  became  termed  'The  Manchurian  Candidate'  after  the  novel.  The  extensive 
use  of  'heroic'  doses  of  Electron  Convulsive  Shock  Treatment  combined  with  Deep 
Sleep  Treatment  (narcosis),  anti-depressants,  tape-loops,  insulin  coma  therapy,  and  other 
drugs  in  this  context,  was  designed  to  induce  catastrophic  memory  loss  which  would 
then  supposedly  be  replaced  with  false  memories  and  ideas  (via  tape  loops,  hypnosis, 
LSD  or  conversations  while  the  person  was  drugged). 

In  addition  to  LSD,  Cameron  also  experimented  with  various  paralytic  drugs,  as  well 
as  electroconvulsive  therapy  at  30  to  40  times  the  normal  power.  His  "driving" 
experiments  consisted  of  putting  subjects  into  drug-induced  coma  for  months  on  end 

(up  to  three  in  one  case)  while  playing  tape  loops  of  noise  or  simple  repetitive  statements. 

His  experiments  were  typically  carried  out  on  patients  who  had  entered  the  institute  for  minor 
problems  such  as  anxiety  disorders  and  post-partum  depression,  many  of  whom  suffered 
permanently  from  his  actions. "

121  ..."Earth  is  a "ghetto"  planet..." 

"Ghetto11  is  also  used  figuratively  to  indicate  geographic  areas  with  a concentration  of  any 
type  of  person. 

Ghetto  is  formed  in  three  ways: 

• As  ports  of  entry  for  racial  minorities,  and  immigrant  racial  minorities. 

• When  the  majority  uses  compulsion  (typically  violence,  hostility,  or  legal  barriers)  to 
force  minorities  into  particular  areas. 

• When  the  majority  is  willing  and  able  to  pay  more  than  the  minority  to  live  with  its 
own  kind. 

During  World  War  II  ghettos  in  occupied  Europe  1939-1944  were  established  by  the  Nazis  to 
confine  Jews  and  sometimes  Gypsies  into  tightly  packed  areas  of  the  cities  of  Eastern 
Europe  turning  them  into  de-facto  concentration  camps  and  death  camps  in  the 
Holocaust. "

122  "...  Holocaust..." 

" The  Holocaust  (from  the  Greek  Aokouotov  (holokauston):  holos,  " completely " and 
kaustos,  "burnt"),  is  the  term  generally  used  to  describe  the  killing  of  approximately  six 
million  European  Jews  during  World  War  II,  as  part  of  a program  of  deliberate  extermination 
planned  and  executed  by  the  National  Socialist  (Nazi)  regime  in  Germany  led  by  Adolf  Hitler. 

Other  groups  were  persecuted  and  killed  by  the  regime,  including  the  Roma ; Soviets, 
particularly  prisoners  of  war ; ethnic  Poles ; other  Slavic  people ; the  disabled ; gay 
men;  and  political  and  religious  dissidents. 

The  persecution  and  genocide  were  accomplished  in  stages.  Legislation  to  remove  the 
Jews  from  civil  society  was  enacted  years  before  the  outbreak  of  World  War  II. 

Concentration  camps  were  established  in  which  inmates  were  used  as  slave  labour  until 
they  died  of  exhaustion  or  disease.  Where  the  Third  Reich  conquered  new  territory  in 
eastern  Europe,  specialized  units  called  Einsatzgruppen  murdered  Jews  and  political 
opponents  in  mass  shootings.  Jews  and  Roma  were  crammed  into  ghettos  before  being 
transported  hundreds  of  miles  by  freight  train  to  extermination  camps  where,  if  they  survived 
the  journey,  the  majority  of  them  were  killed  in  gas  chambers.  Every  arm  of  Germany's 
bureaucracy  was  involved  in  the  logistics  of  the  mass  murder,  turning  the  country  into  what 
one  Holocaust  scholar  has  called  "a  genocidal  state. "

procedural,  and  doctrinal  origins  of  the  mass  murder  of  the  1940s.  The  Nuremberg  Trials 
convicted  a number  of  psychiatrists  who  held  key  positions  in  Nazi  regimes." 

--  Reference:  Lapon,  Lenny  (1986).  Mass  Murderers  in  White  Coats  : Psychiatric  Genocide 
in  Nazi  Germany  and  the  United  States. 

The  tie  between  Hitler  and  the  euctenic  psychiatrists  was  so  close  that  much  of  Mein 
Kampf  is  literally  indistinguishable  in  language  and  in  tone  from  the  major 
international  journals  and  psychiatric  textbooks  of  the  time.  To  quote  from  a few  of 

many  such  passages  in  Mein  Kampf: 

"To  demand  that  defective  people  be  prevented  from  propagating  equally  defective 
offspring  is  a demand  for  the  clearest  reason  and,  if  systematically  executed, 
represents  the  most  humane  act  of  mankind  ..." 

"Those  who  are  physically  and  mentally  unhealthy  and  unworthy  must  not 
perpetuate  their  ;suffering  in  the  bodies  of  their  children  ..." 

"A  prevention  of  the  faculty  and  opportunity  to  procreate  on  the  part  of  the  physically 
degenerate  and  the  mentally  sick  ...  would  not  only  free  humanity  from  an 
immeasurable  misfortune  but  would  lead  to  a recovery  which  today  seems  scarcely 
conceivable." 

Hitler  received  support  from  psychiatrists  and  social  scientists  around  the  world  after 
he  took  power.  Many  articles  in  the  world's  leading  medical  journals  monitored  and  heaped 
praise  on  Hitler's  eugenic  legislation  and  policies. 

Records  uncovered  by  Abrams  at  the  hospital  confirm  that  the  extermination  had  begun  as 
a part  of  a national  psychiatric  program  before  Hitler  took  on  the  systematic  murder  of 
the  Jews.  Hundreds  of  patients  had  been  shipped  off  to  psychiatric  extermination  centers 
prior  to  the  end  of  194 1,  when  the  national  program  was  largely  abandoned  and  local  state 
mental  hospitals  took  over  "the  action"  on  their  own. 

The  psychiatric  extermination  program  was  not  a hidden,  secret  shame  of  psychiatry  - at 
least,  not  at  the  start.  It  was  organized  by  leading  professors  of  psychiatry  and  directors 
of  mental  hospitals  through  a series  of  national  meetings  and  workshops.  So-called 
euthanasia  forms  were  circulated  to  individual  hospitals,  and  final  approval  of  each  death 
was  then  given  in  Berlin  by  a committee  of  the  nation's  outstanding  psychiatrists.  By 
January  1940  patients  were  being  shipped  to  six  special  extermination  centers  staffed  by 
psychiatrists. 

In  late  194 1,  public  outrage  and  lack  of  enthusiasm  from  Hitler  pushed  the  program 
underground,  but  between  100,000  and  200,000  German  mental  patients  had  been 
killed.  From  then  on,  individual  institutions,  such  as  that  at  Kaufbeuren,  continued  to  act  on 
their  own,  even  admitting  new  patients  for  the  purpose  of  murdering  them.  At  the  end  of  the 
war,  many  large  institutions  were  entirely  empty,  and  estimates  from  various  war-crime 
tribunals,  including  Nuremberg,  estimate  the  number  of  dead  to  be  between  250,000  and 
300,000,  mostly  inmates  of  psychiatric  hospitals  and  homes  for  the  retarded... 

Psychiatrist  Frederic  Wertham,  by  no  means  a radical  critic  of  his  profession,  deserves 
the  credit  for  being  the  first  to  describe  the  role  of  psychiatry  in  Nazi  Germany: ... 


244 


"The  tragedy  is  that  the  PSYCHIATRISTS  did  not  have  to  have  an  order.  They  acted  on 
their  own.  They  were  not  carrying  out  a death  sentence  pronounced  by  somebody 
else.  They  were  the  legislators  who  laid  down  the  rules  for  deciding  who  was  to  die; 
they  were  the  administrators  who  worked  out  the  procedures,  provided  the  patients 
and  the  places,  and  decided  the  methods  of  killing;  they  pronounced  a sentence  of 
life  or  death  in  each  individual  case;  they  were  the  executioners  who  carried  the 
sentences  out  or  - without  being  coerced  to  do  so  - surrendered  their  patients  to  be 
killed  in  other  institutions;  they  supervised  and  often  watched  the  slow  deaths... " 

By  November  1,  1941,  the  first  extermination  camps  were  being  built:  first  Belzec,  then 
Sobibor,  Treblinka,  Chetmno  and  Majdanek,  and  finally  Auschwitz-Birkenau. 

At  first,  vague  plans  were  made  in  Nazi  Germany  to  deport  all  European  Jews  to 
Madagascar.  Adolf  Eichmann,  in  particular,  supported  this  option  before  the  Wannsee 
Conference  of  1942,  where  he  was  made  privy  to  the  exact  details  of  the  "Final  Solution". 

SS  chief  Heinrich  Himmler  stated: 

"However  cruel  and  tragic  each  individual  case  may  be,  this  method  is  still  the  mildest  and 
best,  if  one  rejects  the  Bolshevik  method  of  physical  extermination  of  a people  out  of  inner 
conviction  as  un-German  and  impossible. ” 

The  original  plan  was  to  use  the  Royal  Navy  after  Britain's  defeat  to  exile  all  of  Europe's 
Jews  to  Madagascar.  However,  since  the  British  were  not  defeated  as  anticipated  by  the 
Nazis,  the  Madagascar  Plan  had  to  be  abandoned. 

The  extermination  process  in  Belzec,  Sobibor  and  Treblinka  was  similar  to  the  method  used 
in  the  six  extermination  camps  in  Germany  and  Austria,  but  hugely  scaled  up  for  killing 
whole  transports  of  people  at  a time. 

Victims  would  hand  over  their  valuables,  which  became  property  of  the  German 
Reichsbank.  They  then  undressed,  and  their  clothes  were  searched  for  jewelry  and 
other  valuables.  Victims  were  then  marched  into  the  gas  chamber  and  packed  tightly 
to  minimize  the  available  fresh  air.  An  engine  created  carbon  monoxide  gas  which 
was  then  discharged  through  gas  pipes,  killing  the  occupants.  Their  corpses  were 
cremated  after  any  gold  dental  fillings  were  removed.  The  mass  murder  was  carefully 
tracked  and  documented. 

For  example,  the  intercepted  Hofie  Telegram  sent  by  SS-Sturmbannfuhrer  Hermann  Hofle 
on  January  11,  1943  to  SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer  Adolf  Eichmann  in  Berlin  listed 
1,274,166  total  arrivals  to  the  four  camps  ofAktion  Reinhard  through  the  end  of  1942, 
as  well  as  the  total  arrivals  by  camp  for  the  last  two  weeks  of  1942. 

The  structure  of  all  camps  was  nearly  identical.  From  the  reception  area  with  ramp  and 
undressing  barracks,  the  Jews  entered  a narrow,  camouflaged  path  (called  sluice  or  tube)  to 
the  extermination  area  with  gas  chambers,  pits  and  cremation  grids.  The  SS  and  Trawnikis 
stayed  in  a separate  area.  Barbed  wire  fences,  partially  camouflaged  with  pine  branches, 
surrounded  the  camp  and  separated  the  different  parts.  Unlike  Auschwitz,  no  electric  fences 
were  used.  Wooden  watchtowers  guarded  the  camp. 


245 


Approximately  2 million  Jews  lost  their  lives  in  Belzec,  Sobibor,  Treblinka  and  Majdanek  in 
the  course  of  Operation  Reinhard.  Approximately  178,045,960  German  Reichsmark  worth  of 
Jewish  property  (today's  value:  around  700,000,000  $US  or  55 0,000,000  Euros)  was  stolen. 
This  money  went  not  only  to  German  authorities,  but  also  to  single  individuals  (SS  and  police 
men,  camp  guards,  non-Jewish  inhabitants  of  towns  and  villages  with  ghettos  or  adjacent 
camps)."

"Nuclear  weapons  emit  large  amounts  of  electromagnetic  radiation  as  visible,  infrared,  and 
ultraviolet  light.  The  chief  hazards  are  burns  and  eye  injuries.  On  clear  days,  these  injuries 
can  occur  well  beyond  blast  ranges.  The  light  is  so  powerful  that  it  can  start  fires  that  spread 
rapidly  in  the  debris  left  by  a blast.  The  range  of  thermal  effects  increases  markedly  with 
weapon  yield.  Thermal  radiation  accounts  for  between  35-45%  of  the  energy  released  in  the 
explosion,  depending  on  the  yield  of  the  device. 

The  first  atomic  bomb  actually  used  in  war  time  was  dropped  on  Hiroshima  on  August  6th, 
1945  killing  between  130,000  and  150,000  people  by  the  end  of  that  year.  Those  who 
survived  the  bombing  are  rapidly  aging  now  after  struggling  for  many  years. 

In  Hiroshima,  a tremendous  fire  storm  developed  within  20  minutes  after  detonation  and 
destroyed  many  more  buildings  and  homes.  A fire  storm  has  gale  force  winds  blowing  in 
towards  the  center  of  the  fire  from  all  points  of  the  compass. 

Mr.  Hiroshi  Sawachika  was  28  years  old  when  the  bomb  was  dropped.  He  was  an  army 
doctor  stationed  at  the  army  headquarters  in  Ujina.  When  he  was  exposed,  he  was  inside 
the  building  at  the  headquarters,  4.1  km  from  the  hypocenter.  Being  rather  far  from  the 
hypocenter,  he  was  not  seriously  injured.  Afterwards,  he  was  very  busy  getting  medical 
treatment  to  the  survivors. 

INTERVIEWER:  How  many  patients  did  you  treat  on  August  6? 

ANSWER:  Well,  at  least  2 or  3 thousand  on  that  very  day  if  you  include  those  patients  whom 
I gave  directions  to.  I felt  that  as  if  once  that  day  started,  it  never  ended.  I had  to  keep  on 
and  on  treating  the  patients  forever.  It  was  the  longest  day  of  my  life.  Later  on,  when  I had 
time  to  reflect  on  that  day,  I came  to  realize  that  we,  doctors  learned  a lot  through  the 
experience,  through  the  suffering  of  all  those  people.  It's  true  that  the  lack  of  medical 
knowledge,  medical  facilities,  integrated  organization  and  so  on  prevented  us  from  giving 
sufficient  medical  treatment.  Still  there  was  a lot  for  us,  medical  doctors  to  learn  on  that  day. 

I learned  that  the  nuclear  weapons  which  gnaw  the  minds  and  bodies  of  human  beings 
should  never  be  used.  Even  the  slightest  idea  using  nuclear  arms  should  be  completely 
exterminated  the  minds  of  human  beings.  Otherwise,  we  will  repeat  the  same  tragedy.  And 
we  will  never  stop  being  ashamed  of  ourselves. "

126  "...Atlanta..." 

"Atlantis  was  a continent.  Its  capital  was  called  by  the  same  name  or  by  that  of  Poseidonis, 
and  was  located  on  an  island  next  to  its  coast.  After  this  continent  sunk  under  the  seas,  only 
the  peaks  of  its  loftiest  mountains  remained  above  the  water,  forming  what  the  ancients  later 
knew  as  the  Islands  of  the  Blest,  and  which  we  know  as  those  of  Indonesia. 

Atlantis  created  a worldwide  empire,  and  had  colonies  the  world  over.  These  colonies,  as 
usual,  attempted  to  duplicate  the  motherland,  as  colonists  are  wont  to  do.  Atlantis  and 
Lemuria  have  been  grossly  distorted  and  misplaced  by  all  sorts  of  investigators  in  what 
concerns  both  their  epochs  and  their  sizes  and  locations.  Indeed,  Atlantis  and  Lemuria 
coexisted  side  by  side,  at  more  or  less  the  same  date. 

More  exactly,  Lemuria  was  the  archetypal  Atlantis,  the  same  as  Eden  or  Paradise,  the  site  of 
origin  of  both  Mankind  and  Civilization.  From  there,  the  Lemurian  Atlanteans  colonized  the 
nearby  region  of  India,  which  became  its  "twin"  and  partner.  In  mythical  terms,  we  can  say 
that  Lemuria-lndonesia  was  the  Mother,  and  that  Atlantis-lndia  was  the  Father  of  all  the 
other  civilizations. 

Our  Atlantean  heritage  also  encompasses  the  arts  and  techniques  such  as  Agriculture  and 
Animal  Domestication,  the  greatest  inventions  ever.  Without  the  domesticated  plants  and 
animals  — most  or  all  of  which  originated  in  Atlantis,  and  often  embody  an  advanced  use  of 
genetic  engineering  — Civilization  could  never  have  developed  at  all.  Besides  these,  a 
series  of  inventions  of  mysterious  origins,  who  came  to  us  from  the  dawn  of  time,  are  also 
owed  to  Atlantis  and  Lemuria:  metallurgy,  stone  masonry  and  sculpture,  paper,  the  alphabet, 
medicinal  drugs,  gunpowder,  weaving,  and  so  on. "

"Lemuria  is  the  name  of  a hypothetical  "lost  land"  variously  located  in  the  Indian  and  Pacific 
Oceans.  Its  19th  century  origins  lie  in  attempts  to  account  for  discontinuities  in 
biogeography.  Though  Lemuria  has  passed  out  of  the  realm  of  conventional  science,  it  has 
been  adopted  by  occult  writers,  as  well  as  some  Tamil  writers  of  India.  Accounts  of  Lemuria 
differ  according  to  the  requirements  of  their  contexts,  but  all  share  a common  belief  that  a 
continent  existed  in  ancient  times  and  sank  beneath  the  ocean  as  a result  of  geological 
change,  often  cataclysmic. 

Lemuria  entered  the  lexicon  of  the  Occult  through  the  works  of  Madame  Blavatsky,  who 
claimed  in  the  1880s  to  have  been  shown  an  ancient,  pre-Atlantean  Book  of  Dzyan  by  the 
Mahatmas.  Kumari  Kandam  is  a sunken  kingdom  sometimes  compared  with  Lemuria. 
According  to  these  modernist  interpretations  of  motifs  in  classical  Tamil  literature  — the 
epics  Cilappatikaram  and  Manimekalai  that  describe  the  submerged  city  of  Puhar  — the 
Dravidians  originally  came  from  land  south  of  the  present  day  coast  of  South  India  that 
became  submerged  by  successive  floods.  There  are  various  claims  from  Tamil  authors  that 
there  was  a large  land  mass  connecting  Australia  and  the  present  day  Tamil  Nadu  coast. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Madame  Blavatsky  described  the  Lemurians  (her  third  root  race) 
as  being  colored  black  and  described  the  Negroid  race,  the  Dravidians  and  the  Australoids, 
Papuans  and  Melanesians  as  being  descended  from  them.

prior  to  the  acceptance  of  continental  drift,  biologists  frequently  postulated  submerged  land 
masses  in  order  to  account  for  populations  of  land-based  species  now  separated  by  barriers 
of  water.  Similarly,  geologists  tried  to  account  for  striking  resemblances  of  rock  formations 
on  different  continents.  The  first  systematic  attempt  was  made  by  Melchior  Neumayr  in  his 
book  Erdgeschichte  in  1887.  Many  hypothetical  submerged  land  bridges  and  continents 
were  proposed  during  the  19th  century,  in  order  to  account  for  the  present  distribution  of 
species. 

/4s  Lemuria  gained  some  acceptance  within  the  scientific  community,  it  began  to  appear  in 
the  works  of  other  scholars.  Ernst  Haeckel,  a German  Darwinian  taxonomist,  proposed 
Lemuria  as  an  explanation  for  the  absence  of  "missing  link"  fossil  records.  According  to 
another  source,  Haeckel  put  forward  this  thesis  prior  to  Sclater  (but  without  using  the  name 
'Lemuria').  Locating  the  origins  of  the  human  species  on  this  lost  continent,  he  claimed  the 
fossil  record  could  not  be  found  because  it  had  sunk  beneath  the  sea. 

Other  scientists  hypothesized  that  Lemuria  had  extended  across  parts  of  the  Pacific  oceans, 
explaining  distributions  of  species  across  Asia  and  the  Americas. 

The  Lemuria  theory  disappeared  completely  from  conventional  scientific  consideration  after 
the  theories  of  plate  tectonics  and  continental  drift  were  accepted  by  the  larger  scientific 
community.  According  to  the  theory  of  plate  tectonics  (which  is  nowadays  the  only  accepted 
paradigm  in  geology),  Madagascar  and  India  were  indeed  once  part  of  the  same  landmass 
(thus  accounting  for  geological  resemblances),  but  plate  movement  caused  India  to  break 
away  millions  of  years  ago,  and  move  to  its  present  location.  The  original  landmass  broke 
apart  - it  did  not  sink  beneath  the  sea  level. "

128  ..."Lake  Toba  in  Sumatra"... 

The  Toba  eruption  (the  Toba  event ) occurred  at  what  is  now  Lake  Toba  about  67,500  to 
75,500  years  ago.  It  had  an  estimated  Volcanic  Explosivity  Index  of  8 (described  as  "mega- 
colossal"),  making  it  possibly  the  largest  explosive  volcanic  eruption  within  the  last  twenty- 
five  million  years.  The  total  amount  of  erupted  material  was  about  2800  cubic  km  (670  cubic 
miles)  — around  2,000  km3  of  ignimbrite  that  flowed  over  the  ground  and  around  800  km3 
that  fell  as  ash,  with  the  wind  blowing  most  of  it  to  the  west. 

By  contrast,  the  1980  eruption  of  Mount  St.  Helens  ejected  around  1.2  cubic  km  of  material, 
whilst  the  largest  volcanic  eruption  in  historic  times,  at  Mount  Tambora  in  1815,  emitted  the 
equivalent  of  around  1 00  cubic  kilometers  of  dense  rock  and  created  the  "Year  Without  a 
Summer"  as  far  away  as  North  America. " 

The  Toba  eruption  was  the  latest  of  a series  of  at  least  three  calderra-forming  eruptions 
which  have  occurred  at  the  volcano.  Earlier  calderas  were  formed  around  700,000  and 
840, 000  years  ago. 

To  give  an  idea  of  its  magnitude,  consider  that  although  the  eruption  took  place  in  Indonesia, 
it  deposited  an  ash  layer  approximately  15  cm  (6  in)  thick  over  the  entire  Indian 
subcontinent;  at  one  site  in  central  India,  the  Toba  ash  layer  today  is  up  to  6 m (20  feet) 
thick  and  parts  of  Malaysia  were  covered  with  9 m of  ash  fall.  In  addition  it  has  been 
calculated  that  10io  metric  tons  of  sulphuric  acid  was  ejected  into  the  atmosphere  by 
the  event,  causing  acid  rain  fallout. "

129  "...Mt.  Krakatoa..." 

"Mt.  Krakatoa  is  a volcanic  island  in  the  Sunda  Strait  between  Java  and  Sumatra  in 
Indonesia.  The  name  is  used  for  the  island  group,  the  main  island  (also  called  Rakata),  and 
the  volcano  as  a whole.  It  has  erupted  repeatedly,  massively,  and  with  disastrous 
consequences  throughout  recorded  history.  The  best  known  eruption  culminated  in  a series 
of  massive  explosions  on  August  26-27  1883,  which  was  among  the  most  violent  volcanic 
events  in  modern  times.  With  a Volcanic  Explosivity  Index  of  6,  it  was  equivalent  to  200 
megatonnes  of  TNT  — about  13,000  times  the  yield  of  the  Little  Boy  bomb  (13  to  16  KT), 
which  devastated  Hiroshima,  Japan. 

The  1883  eruption  ejected  more  than  25  cubic  kilometres  of  rock,  ash,  and  pumice,  and 
generated  the  loudest  sound  historically  reported:  the  cataclysmic  explosion  was  distinctly 
heard  as  far  away  as  Perth  in  Australia  approx.  1,930  miles  (3, 1 10  km),  and  the  island  of 
Rodrigues  near  Mauritius  approx.  3,000  miles  (5,000  km).  Near  Krakatoa,  according  to 
official  records,  165  villages  and  towns  were  destroyed  and  132  seriously  damaged,  at  least 
36,417  (official  toll)  people  died,  and  many  thousands  were  injured  by  the  eruption,  mostly 
from  the  tsunamis  which  followed  the  explosion. 

The  eruption  destroyed  two  thirds  of  the  island  of  Krakatoa.  Eruptions  at  the  volcano  since 
1927  have  built  a new  island  in  the  same  location,  called  Anak  Krakatau  (child  of  Krakatoa)."

"A  supervolcano  is  a volcano  that  produces  the  largest  and  most  voluminous  kinds  of 
eruption  on  Earth.  The  explosivity  of  such  eruptions  varies,  but  the  volume  of  ejected  tephra

with  cataclysmic  consequences  for  life  VEI-8  volcanic  events  have  included  eruptions  at  the 
following  locations.  Estimates  of  the  volume  of  erupted  material  are  given  in  parentheses.

of  the  Fish  Canyon  Tuff  27.8  million  years  ago  (-5,000  km3) 

The  Lake  Toba  eruption  plunged  the  Earth  into  a volcanic  winter,  eradicating  an 
estimated  60%  of  the  human  population  (although  humans  managed  to  survive,  even 
in  the  vicinity  of  the  volcano),  and  was  responsible  for  the  formation  of  sulfuric  acid  in 
the  atmosphere.

131  "...  due  to  atmospheric  pollution  as  well  as  an  extensive  period  during  which 
radiation  from  the  sun  is  deflected  back  into  space,  and  cause  global  cooling..." 

"Nuclear  winter  is  a hypothetical  global  climate  condition  that  is  predicted  to  be  a possible 
outcome  of  a large-scale  nuclear  war.  It  is  thought  that  severely  cold  weather  can  be  caused 
by  detonating  large  numbers  of  nuclear  weapons,  especially  over  flammable  targets  such  as 
cities,  where  large  amounts  of  smoke  and  soot  would  be  injected  into  the  Earth's 
stratosphere.  The  term  has  also  been  applied  to  one  of  the  after-effects  of  an 
suoervolcano  eruption. 

A global  average  surface  cooling  of-7°C  to  -8°C  persists  for  years,  and  after  a decade  the 
cooling  is  still  -4°C  (Fig.  2).  Considering  that  the  global  average  cooling  at  the  depth  of  the 
last  ice  age  1 8, 000  yr  ago  was  about  -5°C,  this  would  be  a climate  change  unprecedented  in 
speed  and  amplitude  in  the  history  of  the  human  race.  The  temperature  changes  are  largest 
over  land ...  Cooling  of  more  than  -20° C occurs  over  large  areas  of  North  America  and  of 
more  than  -30°C  over  much  of  Eurasia,  including  all  agricultural  regions. "

132  "...The  global  cataclysm  that  destroyed  the  dinosaurs..." 

"In  the  past  600  million  years  there  have  been  five  major  mass  extinctions  that  on 
average  extinguished  half  of  all  species.  The  largest  mass  extinction  to  have  affected  life 
on  Earth  was  in  the  Permian-Triassic,  which  ended  the  Permian  period  250  million  years  ago 
and  killed  off  90%  of  all  species.  The  last  such  mass  extinction  led  to  the  demise  of  the 
dinosaurs  and  has  been  found  to  have  coincided  with  a large  asteroid  impact;  this  is  the 
Cretaceous-Tertiary  extinction  event.  There  is  no  solid  evidence  of  impacts  leading  to  the 
four  other  major  mass  extinctions,  though  a recent  report  from  Ohio  State  scientists  stated 
that  they  have  located  a 483-km  diameter  impact  crater  beneath  the  East  Antarctic  Ice  Sheet 
which  may  date  back  about  250  million  years,  based  on  gravity  measurements,  which  might 
associate  it  with  the  Permian-Triassic  extinction  event. 

In  1980,  physicist  Luis  Alvarez,  his  son,  geologist  Walter  Alvarez,  and  nuclear  chemists 
Frank  Asaro  and  Helen  V.  Michael  from  the  University  of  California,  Berkeley  discovered 
unusually  high  concentrations  of  iridium,  an  element  that  is  rare  in  the  Earth's  crust  but 
relatively  abundant  in  many  meteorites.  From  the  amount  and  distribution  of  iridium  present 
in  the  65  million  year  old  "iridium  layer",  the  Alvarez  team  later  estimated  that  an  asteroid  of 
10-14  kilometers  must  have  collided  with  the  earth.  This  iridium  layer  at  the  K-T  boundary 
has  been  found  worldwide  at  100  different  sites.  Multidirectionally  shocked  quartz 
(coesite),  which  is  only  known  to  form  as  the  result  of  large  impacts  or  atomic  bomb 
explosions,  has  also  been  found  in  the  same  layer  at  more  than  30  sites.  Soot  and  ash  at 
levels  tens  of  thousands  times  normal  levels  were  found  with  the  above." 

— Reference:  Wikipedia.org 

"The  geologic  record  of  terminal  Cretaceous  environmental  events  indicates  that  iridium  and 
other  associated  elements  were  not  deposited  instantaneously  but  during  a time  interval 
spanning  some  10,000  to  100,000  years.  The  available  geologic  evidence  favors  a mantle 
rather  than  meteoritic  origin  for  these  elements.  These  results  are  in  accord  with  the  scenario 
of  a series  of  intense  eruptive  volcanic  events  occurring  during  a relatively  short  geologic 
time  interval  and  not  with  the  scenario  of  a single  large  asteroid  impact  event. "

"Oct.  26,  2007  — New  evidence  dug  from  the  shores  of  the  Bay  of  Bengal  supports  the 
radical  idea  that  it  was  a series  of  monumental  volcanic  eruptions  that  wiped  out  the 
dinosaurs,  not  a meteor  impact  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  The  discovery  confirms  two  important 
things,  said  Keller:  First,  that  the  most  massive  Deccan  eruption  and  the  K-T  mass  extinction 
happened  at  the  same  time.  Second,  that  the  later,  final  eruption  is  timed  right  to  have 
slowed  the  recovery  of  many  living  things.  This  latter  matter  of  the  slow  recovery  has  long 
been  a mystery  to  paleontologists,  she  said. "

"A  new  statistical  study  of  mass  extinctions  throughout  the  history  of  life  on  Earth  is  backing 
up  the  idea  that  no  single  meteor,  volcanic  eruption  or  other  lone  gunman  is  ever  to  blame, 
even  in  the  case  of  the  Cretaceous-Tertiary  event  that  brought  the  end  of  dinosaurs  65 
million  years  ago. 

Instead,  the  worst  die-offs  happen  when  some  sort  of  interminable,  multi-generational 
pressure  on  life  is  combined  with  a few  powerful  blows.  It's  what  is  now  being  called  the 
press/pulse  theory  of  mass  extinctions. 

The  theory  "is  essentially  a more  eloquent  way  of  saying  what  I and  many  other 
paleontologists  have  been  saying  for  many  years, " said  Gerta  Keller  of  Princeton  University. 
"Namely  that  the  impact-kill  hypothesis  is  all  wrong.  Impacts  alone  could  not  have  been  the 
killing  mechanism  for  the  K-T  or  any  of  the  other  major  mass  extinctions. " 

In  the  late  Cretaceous  case  massive  volcanism  — the  Deccan  Traps  eruption  in  India  — and 
attendant  climate  change,  coincided  with  an  impact  that  pushed  highly  stressed  biota  over

"...the  shift  of  the  poles  of  the  planet...". 

"Charles  Hapgood  first  came  to  public  attention  in  the  mid-1950s  with  his  theory  of  earth 
crust  displacement,  a radical  geological  idea  which  attracted  the  curiosity  and  support  of 


252 


Albert  Einstein.  The  Einstein-Hapgood  correspondence  is  a forgotten  page  in  the  history  of 
science.  Rose  and  I obtained  these  letters  (ten  from  Einstein  to  Hapgood)  from  Albert 
Einstein's  Archives  in  the  Fall  of  1995.  They  show,  for  the  first  time,  just  how  extensively 
Albert  Einstein  was  involved  in  assisting  Charles  Hapgood  in  the  development  of  the  theory. 
This  correspondence  is  detailed  in  The  Atlantis  Blueprint.  Here  is  a brief  summary: 

In  his  second  reply  (24  November  1952)  to  Hapgood,  Einstein  wrote  that  the  idea  of  earth 
crust  displacement  should  not  be  ruled  out  "apriori"just  because  it  didn't  fit  with  what  we 
wanted  to  believe  about  the  earth's  past.  What  was  needed,  Einstein  claimed,  was  solid 
"geological  and  paleontological  facts. " 

For  six  months,  Hapgood  gathered  geological  evidence  to  support  the  idea  of  an  earth  crust 
displacement.  On  the  3rd  of  May  1953  he  forwarded  thirty-eight  pages  of  this  evidence  to 
Einstein.  Central  to  his  argument  was  Hapgood's  evidence  that  Lesser  Antarctica  was  ice- 
free  at  the  same  time  that  North  America  lay  smothered  in  ice.  Einstein  responded  (8  May 
1953): 

7 find  your  arguments  very  impressive  and  have  the  impression  that  your  hypothesis  is 
correct.  One  can  hardly  doubt  that  significant  shifts  of  the  crust  have  taken  place  repeatedly 
and  within  a short  time. " 

He  urged  Hapgood  to  follow  up  on  evidence  of " earth  fractures".  A month  later 

(11  June  1953)  Hapgood  sent  Einstein  forty-two  pages  of  evidence  on  earth  fractures  and 

the  evolution  of  the  ice  sheets. 

Einstein  wrote  (17  December  1953)  Hapgood  urging  him  to  address  the  " centrifugal 
momentum " problem.  Hapgood  responded  with  four  pages  on  this  problem  and  thirty-seven 
pages  of  "paleontological  evidence"  including  the  frozen  mammoths  of  Arctic  Siberia. 

Einstein  was  now  convinced.  On  the  18th  of  May  1954,  Einstein  wrote  a very  favorable 
foreword  for  Hapgood's  book  EARTH'S  SHIFTING  CRUST:  A KEY  TO  SOME  BASIC 
PROBLEMS  OF  EARTH  SCIENCE  (published  in  1958  by  Pantheon  Books,  New  York).  The 
Foreword  begins: 

"I  frequently  receive  communications  from  people  who  wish  to  consult  me  concerning  their 
unpublished  ideas.  It  goes  without  saying  that  these  ideas  are  very  seldom  possessed  of 
scientific  validity.  The  very  first  communication,  however,  that  I received  from  Mr.  Hapgood 
electrified  me.  His  idea  is  original,  of  great  simplicity,  and  - if  it  continues  to  prove  itself  of 
great  importance  to  everything  that  is  related  to  the  history  of  the  earth's  surface.  ...  I think 
that  this  rather  astonishing,  even  fascinating,  idea  deserves  the  serious  attention  of  anyone 
who  concerns  himself  with  the  theory  of  the  earth's  development ."

alignment  of  certain  stars  in  the  constellation  of  Orion. 

One  night,  while  working  in  Saudi  Arabia,  he  took  his  family  and  a friend's  family  up  into  the 
sand  dunes  of  the  Arabian  desert  for  a camping  expedition.  His  friend  pointed  out  Orion,  and 
mentioned  that  Mintaka,  the  smaller  more  easterly  of  the  stars  making  up  Orion's  belt  was

offset  slightly  from  the  others.  Bauval  then  made  a connection  between  the  layout  of  the 
three  main  stars  in  Orion's  belt  and  the  layout  of  the  three  main  pyramids  in  the  Giza 
necropolis. "

141  "...  Heliopolis..." 

"Heliopolis  has  been  occupied  since  the  Predynastic  Period,  with  extensive  building 
campaigns  during  the  Old  and  Middle  Kingdoms.  Today,  unfortunately,  it  is  mostly 
destroyed,  its  temples  and  other  buildings  having  been  used  for  the  construction  of  medieval 
Cairo;  most  information  about  it  comes  from  textual  sources. 

According  to  Diodorus  Siculus  Heliopolis  was  built  by  Actis,  one  of  the  sons  of  Helios  and 
Rhode,  who  named  the  city  after  his  father.  While  all  Greek  cities  were  destroyed  during  the 
flood,  the  Egyptian  cities  including  Heliopolis  survived.  The  chief  deity  of  Heliopolis  was  the 
god  Atum,  who  was  worshipped  in  the  primary  temple. 

The  city  was  also  the  original  source  of  the  worship  of  the  Ennead  pantheon,  although  in 
later  times,  as  Horns  gained  in  prominence,  worship  focused  on  the  synchrentistic  solar  deity 
Ra-harakhty  (literally  Ra,  (who  is)  Horus  of  the  Two  Horizons). 

During  the  Amarna  Period,  Pharoah  Akhenaten  introduced  monotheistic  worship  of  Aten,  the 
deified  solar  disc.  As  the  capital  of  Egypt  for  a period  of  time,  grain  was  stored  in  Heliopolis 
for  the  winter  months,  when  many  people  would  descend  on  the  town  to  be  fed,  leading  to  it 
gaining  the  title  place  of  bread.  The  Book  of  the  Dead  goes  further  and  describes  how 
Heliopolis  was  the  place  of  multiplying  bread,  recounting  a myth  in  which  Horus  feeds  the 
masses  there  with  only  7 loaves,  which  is  the  basis  of  the  Bible  New  Testament  parable."

...Nephilim... 

"The  Nephilim  were  an  antediluvian  race  (pre-flood)  race  which  are  referred  to  in  the  Bible 
as  giants.''.  - Reference:  http://www.nwcreation.net/nephilim.html 

"Genesis  6:4  states  "The  Nephilim  were  on  the  earth  in  those  days  -and  also  afterwards- 
when  the  sons  of  God  went  to  the  daughters  of  men  and  had  children  by  them.  They  were 
the  heroes  of  old,  men  of  renown."  The  Nephilim  were  a race  of  giants  that  were  produced 
by  the  sexual  union  of  the  sons  of  God  (presumably  fallen  angels)  and  the  daughters  of  men. 
Translated  from  the  Hebrew  texts,  "Nephilim"  means  "fallen  ones. " They  were  renowned  for 
their  strength,  prowess,  and  a great  capacity  for  sinfulness. 

The  origination  of  the  Nephilim  begins  with  a story  of  the  fallen  angels.  Shemhazai,  an  angel 
of  high  rank,  led  a sect  of  angels  in  a descent  to  earth  to  instruct  humans  in  righteousness. 
The  tutelage  went  on  for  a few  centuries,  but  soon  the  angels  pined  for  the  human  females. 
After  lusting,  the  fallen  angels  instructed  the  women  in  magic  and  conjuring,  mated  with 
them,  and  produced  hybrid  offspring:  the  Nephilim. 

The  Nephilim  were  gigantic  in  stature.  Their  strength  was  prodigious  and  their  appetites 
immense.  Upon  devouring  all  of  humankind's  resources,  they  began  to  consume  humans 


254 


themselves.  The  Nephilim  attacked  and  oppressed  humans  and  were  the  cause  of  massive 
destruction  on  the  earth. 

Two  texts  of  central  import  to  the  story  of  the  Nephilim,  the  Bible  and  the  Dead  Sea  Scrolls, 
mention  several  names  for  the  Nephilim.  The  diverse  kinds  of  these  giants  are  cited  in 
several  passages.  They  are  variously  referred  to  as  Emim,  or  "Terrors"  (Gen.  14:5;  Deut. 
2:10),  Rephaim,  or  "Weakeners"  or  "Dead  Ones"  (2  Sam.  23:13;  1 Chron.  11:15),  Gibborim, 
or  "Giant  Heroes"  (Job  16:4),  Zamzummim,  or  "Achievers"  (Deut.  2:10),  Anakim,  or  "Long- 
necked" (Deut.  2:10;  Josh.  11:22,  14:15),  and  Awwim  or  "Devastators"  and  "Serpents." 

Other  giants  are  mentioned  in  these  texts  as  well,  such  as  Goliath  (2  Sam.  21:19).  a giant 
with  twelve  fingers  and  twelve  toes  who  is  mentioned  as  one  of  the  Rephaim  (2  Sam.  21:20), 
and  a tall  Egyptian  (1  Chron.  11:23).  The  passage  of  Numbers  13:26-33  recounts  the 
Nephilim  of  Canaan  that  Joshua  and  the  other  Hebrew  spies  saw.  Furthermore,  according  to 
Judaic  lore,  a certain  one  of  the  Nephilim,  Arba,  built  a city,  Kiriath  Arba,  which  was  named 
for  its  builder  and  is  now  known  as  Hebron. 

The  wickedness  of  the  Nephilim  carried  with  it  a heavy  toll.  Genesis  6:5  alludes  to  the 
corruption  that  the  Nephilim  had  caused  amongst  humans  and  themselves:  "The  Lord  saw 
how  great  man's  wickedness  on  the  earth  had  become..."  Their  evil  rebellion  had  incurred 
both  the  wrath  and  grief  of  God.  God  instructed  the  angel  Gabriel  to  ignite  a civil  war  among 
the  Nephilim.  He  also  chose  Enoch,  a righteous  man,  to  inform  the  fallen  angels  of  the 
judgment  pronounced  on  them  and  their  children.  God  did  not  allow  the  fallen  angels  any 
peace,  for  they  could  not  lift  their  eyes  to  heaven  and  were  later  to  be  chained.  The  end  of 
the  Nephilim  came  about  in  the  war  incited  by  Gabriel,  in  which  the  giants  eventually 
annihilated  each  other."

143  "...used  cutting  tools  of  highly  concentrated  light  waves  and  electronic  energy..." 

"A  laser  is  an  electronic-optical  device  that  emits  coherent  light  radiation.  The  term  "laser"  is 
an  acronym  for  Light  Amplification  by  Stimulated  Emission  of  Radiation.  A typical  laser  emits 
light  in  a narrow,  low-divergence  monochromatic  (single-coloured,  if  the  laser  is  operating  in 
the  visible  spectrum),  beam  with  a well-defined  wavelength.  In  this  way,  laser  light  is  in 
contrast  to  a light  source  such  as  the  incandescent  light  bulb,  which  emits  light  over  a wide 
area  and  over  a wide  spectrum  of  wavelengths. 

The  first  working  laser  was  demonstrated  in  May  1960  by  Theodore  Maiman  at  Hughes 
Research  Laboratories.  Recently,  lasers  have  become  a multi-billion  dollar  industry.  The 
most  widespread  use  of  lasers  is  in  optical  storage  devices  such  as  compact  disc  and  DVD 
players,  in  which  the  laser  (a  few  millimeters  in  size)  scans  the  surface  of  the  disc.  Other 
common  applications  of  lasers  are  bar  code  readers,  laser  printers  and  laser  pointers. 

In  industry,  lasers  are  used  for  cutting  steel  and  other  metals  and  for  inscribing  patterns 
(such  as  the  letters  on  computer  keyboards).  Lasers  are  also  commonly  used  in  various 
fields  in  science,  especially  spectroscopy,  typically  because  of  their  well-defined  wavelength 
or  short  pulse  duration  in  the  case  of  pulsed  lasers.  Lasers  are  used  by  the  military  for  range 
finding,  target  identification  and  illumination  for  weapons  delivery.  Lasers  used  in  medicine 
are  used  for  internal  surgery  and  cosmetic  applications. 

Laser  cutting  is  a technology  that  uses  a laser  to  cut  materials,  and  is  usually  used  in 
industrial  manufacturing.  Laser  cutting  works  by  directing  the  output  of  a high  power  laser, 


255 


by  computer,  at  the  material  to  be  cut.  The  material  then  either  melts,  burns,  vaporizes 
away,  or  is  blown  away  by  a jet  of  gas,  leaving  an  edge  with  a high  quality  surface  finish. 
Industrial  laser  cutters  are  used  to  cut  flat-sheet  material  as  well  as  structural  and  piping 
materials.  Some  6-axis  lasers  can  perform  cutting  operations  on  parts  that  have  been  pre- 
formed by  casting  or  machining. "

"The  great  mystery  of  the  ruins  of  Baalbek,  and  indeed  one  of  the  greatest  mysteries  of  the 
ancient  world,  concerns  the  massive  foundation  stones  beneath  the  Roman  Temple  of 
Jupiter.  The  courtyard  of  the  Jupiter  temple  is  situated  upon  a platform,  called  the  Grand 
Terrace,  which  consists  of  a huge  outer  wall  and  a filling  of  massive  stones.  The  lower 
courses  of  the  outer  wall  are  formed  of  huge,  finely  crafted  and  precisely  positioned  blocks. 
They  range  in  size  from  thirty  to  thirty  three  feet  in  length,  fourteen  feet  in  height  and  ten  feet 
in  depth,  and  weigh  approximately  450  tons  each.  Nine  of  these  blocks  are  visible  on  the 
north  side  of  the  temple,  nine  on  the  south,  and  six  on  the  west  (others  may  exist  but 
archaeological  excavations  have  thus  far  not  dug  beneath  all  the  sections  of  the  Grand 
Terrace).  Above  the  six  blocks  on  the  western  side  are  three  even  larger  stones,  called  the 
Trilithon,  whose  weight  exceeds  1000  tons  each.  These  great  stones  vary  in  size  between 
sixty-three  and  sixty-five  feet  in  length,  with  a height  of  fourteen  feet  six  inches  and  a depth 
of  twelve  feet. 

Another  even  larger  stone  lies  in  a limestone  quarry  a quarter  of  a mile  from  the  Baalbek 
complex.  Weighing  an  estimated  1200  tons,  it  is  sixty-nine  feet  by  sixteen  feet  by  thirteen 
feet  ten  inches,  making  it  the  single  largest  piece  of  stonework  ever  crafted  in  the  world. 
Called  the  Hajar  el  Gouble,  the  Stone  of  the  South,  or  the  Hajar  el  Hibla,  the  Stone  of  the 
Pregnant  Woman,  it  lays  at  a raised  angle  with  the  lowest  part  of  its  base  still  attached  to  the 
quarry  rock  as  though  it  were  almost  ready  to  be  cut  free  and  transported  to  its  presumed 
location  next  to  the  other  stones  of  the  Trilithon. 

Why  these  stones  are  such  an  enigma  to  contemporary  scientists,  both  engineers  and 
archaeologists  alike,  is  that  their  method  of  quarrying,  transportation  and  precision 
placement  is  beyond  the  technological  ability  of  any  known  ancient  or  modern  builders. 
Various  ‘scholars’,  uncomfortable  with  the  notion  that  ancient  cultures  might  have  developed 
knowledge  superior  to  modern  science,  have  decided  that  the  massive  Baalbek  stones  were 
laboriously  dragged  from  the  nearby  quarries  to  the  temple  site.  While  carved  images  in  the 
temples  of  Egypt  and  Mesopotamia  do  indeed  give  evidence  of  this  method  of  block 
transportation  - using  ropes,  wooden  rollers  and  thousands  of  laborers  - the  dragged  blocks 
are  known  to  have  been  only  1/1  Oth  the  size  and  weight  of  the  Baalbek  stones  and  to  have 
been  moved  along  flat  surfaces  with  wide  movement  paths.  The  route  to  the  site  of  Baalbek, 
however,  is  up  hill,  over  rough  and  winding  terrain,  and  there  is  no  evidence  whatsoever  of  a 
flat  hauling  surface  having  been  created  in  ancient  times. 

Next  there  is  the  problem  of  how  the  mammoth  blocks,  once  they  were  brought  to  the  site, 
were  lifted  and  precisely  placed  in  position.  It  has  been  theorized  that  the  stones  were  raised 
using  a complex  array  of  scaffolding,  ramps  and  pulleys  which  was  powered  by  large 
numbers  of  humans  and  animals  working  in  unison.  An  historical  example  of  this  method  has 
been  suggested  as  the  solution  for  the  Baalbek  enigma.  The  Renaissance  architect 
Domenico  Fontana,  when  erecting  a 327-ton  Egyptian  obelisk  in  front  of  St  Peter's  Basilica 
in  Rome,  used  40  huge  pulleys,  which  necessitated  a combined  force  of  800  men  and  140 
horses.  The  area  where  this  obelisk  was  erected,  however,  was  a great  open  space  that 


256 


could  easily  accommodate  all  the  lifting  apparatus  and  the  men  and  horses  pulling  on  the 
ropes.  No  such  space  is  available  in  the  spatial  context  of  how  the  Baalbek  stones  were 
placed.  Hills  slope  away  from  where  lifting  apparatus  would  need  to  have  been  placed  and 
no  evidence  has  been  found  of  a flat  and  structurally  firm  surface  having  been  constructed 
(and  then  mysteriously  removed  after  the  lifting  was  done).  Furthermore,  not  just  one  obelisk 
was  erected  but  rather  a series  of  giant  stones  were  precisely  put  in  place  side-by-side.  Due 
to  the  positioning  of  these  stones,  there  is  simply  no  conceivable  place  where  a huge  pulley 
apparatus  could  have  been  stationed. "

145  "...The  Domain  took  over  the  planet  Venus..." 

"The  second-closest  planet  to  the  Sun,  orbiting  it  every  224. 7 Earth  days.  It  is  the  brightest 
natural  object  in  the  night  sky,  except  for  the  Moon,  reaching  an  apparent  magnitude  of  -4. 6. 
Because  Venus  is  an  inferior  planet,  from  Earth  it  never  appears  to  venture  far  from  the  Sun: 
its  elongation  reaches  a maximum  of  47.8°.  Venus  reaches  its  maximum  brightness  shortly 
before  sunrise  or  shortly  after  sunset,  for  which  reason  it  is  often  called  the  Morning  Star  or 
the  Evening  Star. 

Classified  as  a terrestrial  planet,  it  is  sometimes  called  Earth's  "sister  planet",  for  the  two  are 
similar  in  size,  gravity,  and  bulk  composition.  Venus  is  covered  with  an  opaque  layer  of 
highly  reflective  clouds  of  sulfuric  acid,  preventing  its  surface  from  being  seen  from  space  in 
visible  light:  this  was  a subject  of  great  speculation  until  some  of  its  secrets  were  revealed  by 
planetary  science  in  the  twentieth  century.  Venus  has  the  densest  atmosphere  of  all  the 
terrestrial  planets,  consisting  mostly  of  carbon  dioxide,  as  it  has  no  carbon  cycle  to  lock 
carbon  back  into  rocks  and  surface  features,  nor  organic  life  to  absorb  it  in  biomass.  It  has 
become  so  hot  that  the  earth-like  oceans  the  young  Venus  is  believed  to  have  possessed 
have  totally  evaporated,  leaving  a dusty  dry  desert  scape  with  many  slab-like  rocks.  The 
evaporated  water  vapor  has  dissociated  and  hydrogen  has  escaped  into  interplanetary 
space.  The  atmospheric  pressure  at  the  planet's  surface  is  92  times  that  of  the  Earth, 
the  great  majority  of  it  carbon  dioxide  and  other  greenhouse  gases. 

Venus's  surface  has  been  mapped  in  detail  only  in  the  last  20  years ; Project  Magellan  listed 
about  a thousand  meteor  craters,  a surprisingly  low  number  compared  to  Earth.  It  shows 
evidence  of  being  geologically  very  young  with  extensive  volcanism,  and  the  sulfur  in  the 
atmosphere  is  taken  by  some  experts  to  show  many  of  its  volcanoes  are  still  active  today, 

but  it  is  an  enigma  as  to  why  no  evidence  of  lava  flow  accompanies  any  of  the  visible 
caldera. " 

As  one  of  the  brightest  objects  in  the  sky,  Venus  has  been  known  since  prehistoric  times 
and  as  such  has  gained  an  entrenched  position  in  human  culture.  The  Babylonians  named 
the  planet  Ishtar,  the  personification  of  womanhood,  and  goddess  of  love. 

In  western  astrology,  derived  from  its  historical  connotation  with  goddesses  of  femininity  and 
love,  Venus  is  held  to  influence  those  aspects  of  human  life.  In  Indian  Vedic  astrology, 

Venus  is  known  as  Shukra,  meaning  "clear,  pure"  or  "brightness,  clearness"  in  Sanskrit.

146  "...  There  are  a few  life  forms  on  Earth  that  can  endure  an  atmospheric 
environment  like  Venus..." 

"There  are  many  different  classes  of  extremophiles,  each  corresponding  to  the  way  its 
environmental  niche.  Many  extremophiles  fall  under  multiple  categories.  For  example: 

• Acidoohile:  An  organism  with  an  optimum  pfj  level  at  or  below  pH  3. 

• Alkaliphile:  An  organism  with  optimal  growth  at  pld  levels  of  9 or  above. 

• Endolith:  An  organism  that  lives  in  microscopic  spaces  within  rocks,  such  as  pores 
between  aggregate  grains.  These  may  also  be  called  cryptoendoliths.  This  term  also 
includes  organisms  populating  fissures,  aquifers,  and  faults  filled  with  groundwater 
in  the  deep  subsurface. 

• Halophile:  An  organism  requiring  at  least  2M  of  salt,  NaCI,  for  growth. 

• Hyperthermophile:  An  organism  that  can  thrive  at  temperatures  between  80-121  °C, 
such  as  those  found  in  hydrothermal  systems. 

• Hvoolith:  An  organism  that  lives  inside  rocks  in  cold  deserts. 

• Lithoautotroph:  An  organism  (usually  bacteria)  whose  sole  source  of  carbon  is 
carbon  dioxide  and  exergonic  inorganic  oxidation  (chemolithotrophs)  such  as 
Nitrosomonas  europaea.  These  organisms  are  capable  of  deriving  energy  from 
reduced  mineral  compounds  like  pyrites,  and  are  active  in  geochemical  cycling  and 
the  weathering  of  parent  bedrock  to  form  soil. 

• Metalotolerant:  capable  of  tolerating  high  levels  of  dissolved  heavy  metals  in 
solution,  such  as  copper,  cadmium,  arsenic,  and  zinc.  Examples  include 
Ferroolasma  sp.  and  Ralstonia  metallidurans. 

• Oligotrooh:  An  organism  capable  of  growth  in  nutritionally  limited  environments. 

• Osmophile:  An  organism  capable  of  growth  in  environments  with  a high  sugar 
concentration. 

• Piezophile:  An  organism  that  lives  optimally  at  high  hydrostatic  pressure.  Common 
in  the  deep  terrestrial  subsurface,  as  well  as  in  oceanic  trenches. 

• Polvextremoohile:  An  organism  that  qualifies  as  an  extremophiles  under  more  than 
one  category. 

• Psvchrophile/Crvoohiie:  An  organism  that  grows  better  at  temperatures  of  15  °C  or 
lower.  Common  in  cold  soils,  permafrost,  polar  ice,  cold  ocean  water,  and  in/under 
alpine  snowpack. 

• Radioresistant:  resistant  to  high  levels  of  ionizing  radiation,  most  commonly 
ultraviolet  radiation  but  also  includes  organisms  capable  of  resisting  nuclear 
radiation. 

• Thermophile:  An  organism  that  can  thrive  at  temperatures  between  60-80  °C. 

• Xerophile:  An  organism  that  can  grow  in  extremely  dry,  desiccating  conditions.  This 
type  is  exemplified  by  the  soil  microbes  of  the  Atacama  Desert. 

Relative  to  the  majority  of  the  deep  sea  extremophiles,  the  areas  around  submarine 
hydrothermal  vents  are  biologically  more  productive,  often  hosting  complex  communities 
fueled  by  the  chemicals  dissolved  in  the  vent  fluids,  supporting  diverse  organisms,  including 
giant  tube  worms,  clams,  and  shrimp. 

The  water  emerges  from  a hydrothermal  vent  at  temperatures  ranging  up  to  400°C, 
compared  to  a typical  2°C  for  the  surrounding  deep  ocean  water.  The  high  pressure  at  these 
depths  significantly  expands  the  thermal  range  at  which  water  remains  liquid,  and  so  the 


258 


water  doesn 't  boil.  Water  at  a depth  of  3. 000  m and  a temperature  of  407°C  becomes 
supercritical 

One  community  has  been  discovered  dubbed  'Eel  City',  which  consists  predominantly  of 
eels.  Though  eels  are  not  uncommon,  as  mentioned  earlier  invertebrates  typically  dominate 
hydrothermal  vents.  Eel  City  is  located  near  Nafanua  volcanic  cone,  American  Samoa. 

Other  examples  of  the  unique  fauna  who  inhabit  this  ecosystem  are  a snail  armored  with 
scales  made  up  of  iron  and  organic  materials,  and  the  Pompeii  worm  (Alvinella  Pompejana), 
which  is  capable  of  withstanding  temperatures  up  to  80°C  (176°F).  Over  300  new 
species  have  been  discovered  at  hydrothermal  vents. 

Active  hydrothermal  vents  are  believed  to  exist  on  Jupiter's  moon  Europa,  and  ancient 
hydrothermal  vents  have  been  speculated  to  exist  on  Mars. "

147  "...  asteroid  belt..." 

"The  asteroid  belt  is  the  region  of  the  Solar  System  located  roughly  between  the  orbits  of 
the  planets  Mars  and  Jupiter.  It  is  occupied  by  numerous  irregularly  shaped  bodies  called 
asteroids  or  minor  plarnets.  The  asteroid  belt  region  is  also  termed  the  main  belt  to 
distinguish  it  from  other  concentrations  of  minor  planets  within  the  Solar  System,  such  as  the 
Kuiper  belt  and  scattered  disk. 

More  than  half  the  mass  within  the  main  belt  is  contained  in  the  four  largest  objects:  Ceres, 
4 Vesta,  2 Pallas,  and  10  Hygiea.  All  of  these  have  mean  diameters  of  more  than  400  km, 
while  Ceres,  the  main  belt's  only  dwarf  planet,  is  about  950  km  in  diameter.  The  remaining 
bodies  range  down  to  the  size  of  a dust  particle.  The  asteroid  material  is  so  thinly 
distributed  that  multiple  unmanned  spacecraft  have  traversed  it  without  incident. "

148  "...  Tiahuanaco..." 

"Tiwanaku  monumental  architecture  is  characterized  by  large  stones  of  exceptional 
workmanship.  In  contrast  to  the  masonry  style  of  the  later  Inca,  Tiwanaku  stone 
architecture  usually  employs  rectangular  ashlar  blocks  laid  in  regular  courses,  and 
monumental  structures  were  frequently  fitted  with  elaborate  drainage  systems. 

Bronze  or  copper  "double-T"  clamps  were  often  used  to  anchor  large  blocks  in  place. 
The  stone  used  to  build  Tiwanaku  was  quarried  and  then  transported  40  km  or  more 
to  the  city.  They  were  moved  without  the  aid  of  the  wheel,  though  much  of  the  distance  was 
over  water. 

The  community  grew  to  urban  proportions  (in  antiquity)  becoming  an  important  regional 
power  in  the  southern  Andes.  Satellite  imaging  was  used  recently  to  map  the  extent  of 
fossilized  suka  kollus  across  the  three  primary  valleys  of  Tiwanaku,  arriving  at  population- 
carrying capacity  estimates  of  anywhere  between  285,000  and  1,482,000  people.

people,  with  two  servants,  on  a great  piece  of  rock.  Then  he  drew  sections  on  the  rock 
and  sent  his  servants  to  name  the  tribes  in  those  areas.  In  Tiwanaku  he  created  the  people 
out  of  rock  and  brought  life  to  them  through  the  earth.  The  Tiwanaku  believed  that 
Viracocha  created  giants  to  move  the  massive  stones  that  comprise  much  of  their 
archeology,  but  then  grew  unhappy  with  the  giants  and  created  a flood  to  destroy  them. "

"Ollantaytambo  is  a town  in  southern  Peru,  located  in  the  district  of  Ollantaytambo,  province 
of  Urubamba,  Cusco  region.  It  is  approximately  60  km  to  the  northwest  of  the  city  of  Cusco, 
situated  at  an  altitude  of  2792  meters  above  sea  level. 

The  city  of  Ollantaytambo  is  best  known  for  its  ruins,  and  for  the  spot  where  the  Inca 
emperor  Manco  Inca  was  able  to  defeat  the  Spanish  in  a set-piece  battle.  The  finely  cut 
rocks  and  plantation  terraces  were  very  large  obstacles  for  the  Conquistadors  to 
surpass,  and  the  fortress  was  also  used  by  Manco  to  conduct  successful  attacks  on 
Francisco  Pizarro  and  other  Conquistadors  who  were  based  in  Lima. "

150  ”...  Machupiccu  ..." 

Machu  Picchu  (Quechua:  Machu  Picchu,  "Old  Peak")  is  a pre-Columbian  Inca  site  located 
2,400  meters  (7,875  ft)  above  sea  level.  It  is  situated  on  a mountain  ridge  above  the 
Urubamba  Valley  in  Peru,  which  is  80  km  (50  mi)  northwest  of  Cuzco.  Often  referred  to  as 
"The  Lost  City  of  the  Incas",  Machu  Picchu  is  probably  the  most  familiar  symbol  of  the  Inca 
Empire. 

One  theory  maintains  that  Machu  Picchu  was  an  Inca  "llacta":  a settlement  built  to  control 
the  economy  of  the  conquered  regions.  It  may  also  have  been  built  as  a prison  for  the 
selective  few  who  had  commited  such  henous  crimes  against  the  Inca  society.  Research 
conducted  by  scholars,  such  as  John  Rowe  and  Richard  Burger,  has  convinced  most 
archaeologists  that  rather  than  a defensive  retreat,  Machu  Picchu  was  an  estate  of  the  Inca 
emperor,  Pachacuti.  In  addition,  Johan  Reinhard  presented  evidence  that  the  site  was 
selected  based  on  its  position  relative  to  sacred  landscape  features.  One  such  example  is  its 
mountains,  which  are  purported  to  be  in  alignment  with  key  astronomical  events. 

Shamanic  legends  say  that  if  you're  a sensitive  person  and  you  rub  your  forehead  against 
the  world-famous  Intihuatana  Stone  you  will  see  the  spirit  world.  The  Intihuatana  stone  is 
one  of  the  many  ritual  stones  in  South  America.  They  are  arranged  so  they  point  directly  at 
the  sun  during  the  winter  solstice.  The  Spanish  did  not  find  Machu  Picchu  until  the  20th 
century  so  the  Intihuatana  Stone  was  not  destroyed  like  many  other  ritual  stones.  It  is  also 
called  "The  Flitching  Point  of  the  Sun"  because  it  was  supposed  to  hold  the  sun  in  it's  place. 

It  is  (as  they  said  before)  believed  to  be  an  astronomic  clock  built  by  the  Incas. "

"The  temple  of  Pachacamac  is  an  archaeological  site  40  km  southeast  of  Lima,  Peru  in  the 
Valley  of  the  Lurin  River.  It  had  at  least  one  pyramid.  They  used  Pachacamac  as  primarily 
a religious  site  for  the  veneration  of  the  Pacha  Kamaq  creator  god.  The  Ichma  joined  the 
Inca  empire  and  Pachacamac  became  an  important  administrative  center. 

However  the  Inca  maintained  it  as  a religious  shrine  and  allowed  the  Pachacamac  priests  to 
continue  functioning  independently  of  the  Inca  priesthood.  This  included  the  oracle,  whom 
the  Inca  presumably  consulted.  The  Inca  built  five  additional  buildings,  including  a temple  to 
the  Sun  on  the  main  square. "

"There  are  various  laser  cutting  tools  depending  on  the  type  of  finished  product  that  you 
prefer.  Laser  cutter  routers  that  are  computer-driven  can  cut  each  letter  precisely,  capturing 
every  detail  of  the  selected  style.  The  said  manufacturing  systems  are  useful  in  cutting  out 
symbols  and  logos  in  a cost  effective  manner. 

Laser  that  is  in  a solid  state  uses  one  crystal  rod  with  flat  and  parallel  ends.  Both  ends  have 
surfaces  that  have  the  ability  to  reflect.  A light  source  that  has  high  density  and  a flash  tube 
surrounds  the  crystal. 

When  power  is  given  by  the  network  of  pulse-forming,  an  intense  light  pulse  called  photon  is 
released  in  one  of  the  rod  crystals.  The  light  released  is  one  wavelength  and  allows  for 
minimum  divergence. 

A hundred  percent  of  laser  light  is  reflected  on  the  rear  mirror  while  thirty  to  fifty  percent  will 
pass  through  the  mirror  then  to  the  shutter  assembly  to  the  angled  mirror  before  going  down 
through  the  lens  and  then  to  the  work  piece. 

The  laser  light  beam  is  not  only  coherent  but  also  has  high  energy  content.  When  it  is 
focused  on  the  surface,  the  laser  light  creates  heat  used  for  welding,  drilling,  and  cutting. 

The  laser  beam  and  the  work  piece  is  manipulated  through  the  use  of  robotics.  It  can  be 
adjusted  to  different  sizes  and  heat  intensity.  The  smaller  laser  is  used  for  drilling,  cutting, 
and  welding  while  the  larger  machines  are  used  in  off  giving  heat. "

153  "The  "great"  pyramid..." 

"A  total  of  over  2, 300, 000  blocks  of  limestone  and  granite  were  used  in  its  construction  with 
the  average  block  weighing  2.5  tons  and  none  weighing  less  than  2 tons.  The  large  blocks 
used  in  the  ceiling  of  the  King's  Chamber  weigh  as  much  as  9 tons. 

• Construction  date  (Estimated):  2589  B.C.. 

• Construction  time  (Estimated):  20  years. 

• Total  weight  (Estimated):  6.5  million  tons. 

• The  estimated  total  weight  of  the  structure  is  6.5  million  tons! 


261 


• The  base  of  the  pyramid  covers  13  acres,  56 8,500  square  feet  and  the  length  of 
each  side  was  originally  754  feet,  but  is  now  745  feet. 

• The  original  height  was  481  feet  tall,  but  is  now  only  449  feet. 

The  distance  when  Earth  is  closest  to  Sun  (perihelion)  is  147x106  km,  which  is  translated 
into  royal  cubits  280x1 09,  hinting  at  the  height  of  the  Great  pyramid,  280  royal  cubits. 

The  earth/moon  relationship  is  the  only  one  in  our  solar  system  that  contains  this  unique 
golden  section  ratio  that  "squares  the  circle".  Along  with  this  is  the  phenomenon  that  the 
moon  and  the  sun  appear  to  be  the  same  size,  most  clearly  noticed  during  an  eclipse.  This 
too  is  true  only  from  earth's  vantage  point. ..No  other  planet/moon  relationship  in  our  solar 
system  can  make  this  claim. 

Although  the  problem  of  squaring  the  circle  was  proven  mathematically  impossible  in  the 
19th  century  fas  pi,  being  irrational,  cannot  be  exactly  measured),  the  Earth,  the  moon,  and 
the  Great  Pyramid,  are  all  coming  about  as  close  as  you  can  get  to  the  solution! 

If  the  base  of  the  Great  Pyramid  is  equated  with  the  diameter  of  the  earth,  then  the  radius  of 
the  moon  can  be  generated  by  subtracting  the  radius  of  the  earth  from  the  height  of  the 
pyramid. 

The  height  of  the  Great  Pyramid  times  2rr  exactly  equals  the  perimeter  of  the  pyramid.  This 
proportions  result  from  elegant  design  of  the  pyramid  with  the  height  equal  two  diameters  of 
a circle  and  the  base  equal  to  the  circumference  of  the  circle. 

The  Pyramid  of  the  Sun  and  the  Great  Pyramid  of  Egypt  are  almost  or  very  nearly  equal 
to  one  another  in  base  perimeter.  The  Pyramid  of  the  Sun  is  " almost " half  the  height  of  the 
Great  Pyramid.  There  is  a slight  difference.  The  Great  Pyramid  is  1.03  - times  larger  than  the 
base  of  the  Pyramid  of  the  Sun.  Conversely,  the  base  of  the  Pyramid  of  the  Sun  is  97%  of 
the  Great  Pyramid's  base. "

154  "...  Pyramid  texts." 

"The  Pyramid  Texts  are  a collection  of  ancient  Egyptian  religious  texts  from  the  time  of  the 
Old  Kingdom,  mostly  inscriptions  on  the  walls  of  tombs  in  pyramids.  They  depict  the 
Egyptian  view  of  the  afterlife,  and  the  ascent  into  the  sky  of  the  divine  Pharaoh  after  death. 
They  were  written  upwards  of  five  thousand  years  ago;  thus,  they  are  some  of  the  oldest 
known  writings  in  the  world. 

The  Pyramid  Texts  are  also  the  oldest  collection  of  religious  spells  known  to  us  from  ancient 
Egypt.  This  collection  forms  the  basis  of  much  of  the  later  religious  theology  and  literature  of 
ancient  Egypt.  The  passages  were  eventually  separated  and  categorized,  as  well  as 
illustrated  and  eventually  evolved  into  the  Book  of  the  Dead,  or  more  properly,  The  Book  of 
the  Coming  forth  by  Day. 

It  is  difficult  to  date  the  Pyramid  Texts.  Their  origins  have  aroused  much  speculation 
regarding  their  origin  because  they  emerge,  as  a fully-fledged  collection  of  mortuary  texts, 
without  any  precedent  in  the  archaeological  record.  The  fact  that  the  texts  are  made  up  of 
distinct  utterances  which  do  not  have  a strict  narrative  sequence  linking  them  together  has 
led  scholars  to  believe  that  many  of  them  were  not  composed  specifically  for  the  purpose  of 


262 


being  inscribed  in  the  pyramids  but  may  have  had  earlier  uses.  In  fact,  spells  such  as 
Utterances  273-4,  called  the  Cannibal  Hymn,  and  which  only  appears  in  the  Pyramids  of 
Unas  and  Teti,  refer  to  aspects  of  the  funerary  cult  that  seem  to  no  longer  been  in  practice  at 
the  time  the  pyramids  were  built. 

Early  analysts  attempted  to  date  the  text  as  early  as  possible;  even  from  the  predynastic 
period.  A very  early  dating  of  these  texts  remains  a strong  possibility,  though  today,  scholars 
place  the  text's  origins  with  the  date  of  the  monuments  where  they  reside.  In  reality,  we  have 
very  little  idea  of  the  date  of  their  initial  invention,  perhaps  other  than  the  antiquated 
language  employed. "

Alnitak  is  a double  star  system.  Alnitak  A is  a blue  09. 71b  supergiant  star  about  1 5 times  the 
diameter  of  the  sun,  at  least  1 1, 000  times  more  luminous  than  the  sun. 

Thuban  is  another  name  for  the  star  is  Adib  from  the  Arabic  Al  Dhi'bah,  "The  Hyenas".  A 
number  of  stars  in  the  constellation  of  Draco.  According  to  Allen,  seamen  were  accustomed 
to  call  Thuban  "The  Dragon's  Tail. " Thuban  is  a white  AOIII  giant  having  a luminosity  about 
260  times  that  of  the  sun.  Spectral  analysis  indicates  that  Thuban  has  a companion  star 
orbiting  with  a 51.4  day  period. 

Sirius  is  also  known  colloquially  as  the  "Dog  Star",  reflecting  its  prominence  in  its 
constellation,  Canis  Major.  It  is  the  subject  of  more  mythological  and  folkloric  tales  than  any 
other  star  apart  from  the  sun.  The  heliacal  rising  of  Sirius  marked  the  flooding  of  the  Nile  in 
Ancient  Egypt  and  the  'Dog  Days'  of  summer 

Sirius  is  the  brightest  star  in  the  night  sky  with  a visual  apparent  magnitude  of  -1.47.  almost 
twice  as  bright  as  Canopus,  the  next  brightest  star.  What  appears  as  a single  star  to  the 
naked  eye  is  actually  a binary  star  system,  consisting  of  Sirius  A,  and  a faint  white  dwarf 
companion  of  spectral  type  DA2,  termed  Sirius  B. 

Sirius  is  bright  due  to  both  its  intrinsic  luminosity  and  its  closeness  to  the  Sun.  At  a distance 
of  2.6  parsecs  (8.6  light-years),  the  Sirius  system  is  one  of  our  near  neighbors.  Sirius  A is 
about  twice  as  massive  as  the  Sun  and  has  an  absolute  visual  magnitude  of  1.42.  It  is  25 
times  more  luminous  than  the  Sun. 

Sirius  is  recorded  in  the  earliest  astronomical  records,  known  in  Ancient  Egypt  as  Sopdet 
(Greek:  Sothis).  During  the  era  of  the  Middle  Kingdom,  Egyptians  based  their  calendar  on 
the  heliacal  rising  of  Sirius,  namely  the  day  it  becomes  visible  just  before  sunrise  after 
moving  far  enough  away  from  the  glare  of  the  sun.  This  occurred  just  before  the  annual 
flooding  of  the  Nile  and  the  summer  solstice,  after  a 70  day  absence  from  the  skies.  The 
hieroglyph  for  Sothis  features  a star  and  a triangle.  Sothis  was  identified  with  the  great 
goddess  Isis  who  formed  a part  of  a trinity  with  her  husband  Osiris  and  their  son  Horus, 
while  the  70  day  period  symbolized  the  passing  of  Isis  and  Osiris  though  the  duat  (Egyptian 
underworld). 

North  Star,  also  known  as  the  Pole  Star,  is  the  star  that  lies  closest  in  the  sky  to  the  north 
celestial  pole,  and  which  appears  directly  overhead  to  an  observer  at  the  Earth's  North  Pole. 
The  current  North  Star  is  Polaris,  which  lies  about  two-thirds  of  a degree  from  the  pole  at  the 
end  of  the  "handle " of  the  Little  Dipper  asterism  in  the  constellation  Ursa  Minor.  Polaris  has  a 
visual  magnitude  of  1.97  (second  magnitude).  (Some  people  mistakenly  think  that  Polaris  is 
the  brightest  star  in  the  night  sky.  This  title  belongs  to  Sirius,  and  there  are  many  others 
stars  also  brighter  than  Polaris.) 

Due  to  the  precession  of  the  equinoxes  the  direction  of  the  Earth's  axis  is  very  slowly  but 
continuously  changing,  and  as  the  projection  of  the  Earth's  axis  moves  around  the  celestial 
sphere  over  the  millennia,  the  role  of  North  Star  passes  from  one  star  to  another.  Since  the 
precession  of  the  equinoxes  is  so  slow,  a single  star  typically  holds  that  title  for  many 
centuries. 

In  3000  BC  the  faint  star  Thuban  in  the  constellation  Draco  was  the  North  Star.  At 

magnitude  3.67  (fourth  magnitude)  it  is  only  one-fifth  as  bright  as  Polaris,  the  current  North 
Star  (situated  430  light-years  away).

158  " The  human  pharaoh  moved  the  Capital  city  of  Egypt  from  Memphis  to 
Heracleopolis". 

"Heracleopolis  was  the  main  city  of  Egypt  during  a turbulent  time  in  our  history,  the  First 
Intermediate  Period.  Details  are  not  clear,  but  apparently  when  the  Vlth  dynasty  ended,  the 
rulers  who  followed  were  too  weak  to  rule  the  whole  land.  Akhtoy,  the  local  nomarch, 
declared  independence  from  Memphis,  and  when  the  last  Memphite  pharaoh  died  childless, 
he  declared  himself  god-king  of  the  Two  Lands  and  founder  of  the  IXth  dynasty.  All  of  Middle 
Egypt  and  part  of  the  eastern  Nile  Delta  submitted  to  Akhtoy's  authority.  Akhmin,  in  the  9th 
nome,  became  the  southern  boundary  between  those  who  supported  Akhtoy  and  those  who 
opposed  him. 

In  Upper  Egypt  there  were  at  least  three  governors  who  refused  to  acknowledge  the  new 
order:  those  of  Thinis,  Wast  (Thebes)  and  Nekhen  (Hierakonopolis).  For  a long  time  they 
fought  among  themselves,  because  chaos  always  reigns  where  there  is  no  central  authority. 
Finally  one  of  them,  Inyotef  II  of  Wast,  prevailed  against  the  others:  the  nomarchs  of  Asyut 
now  became  the  defenders  of  the  dignity  of  the  Heracleopolitan  kings.  The  IXth  dynasty  was 
succeeded  by  the  Xth  at  home,  and  for  more  than  sixty  years  the  line  was  held  at  Akhmin, 
despite  frequent  raids  from  both  sides.  Finally  the  grandson  of  Inyotef,  Mentuhotep  II, 
captured  Asyut;  once  that  happened  he  quickly  marched  downstream  and  overthrew  the  Xth 
dynasty.  That  marked  the  reunification  of  Egypt  and  the  beginning  of  the  Middle  Kingdom. 
Heracleopolis  was  never  as  important  afterwards,  though  it  marked  the  site  of  a key  fortress 
in  the  XXIInd  dynasty,  built  by  the  second  son  of  Osorkon  II. "

159  "...  when  Atlantis  fell..." 

"Plato's  reference  to  Egypt  as  the  source  of  the  Atlantis  myth,  via  Solon.  The  Egyptians 
called  Atlantis  Kepchu,  which  also  happens  to  be  their  name  for  the  people  of  Crete.  It  is 
speculated  that  survivors  of  the  Minoan  volcanic  disaster  asked  Egypt  for  help,  since  they 
were  the  only  other  civilization  with  high  culture  at  the  time. 

Plato  described  quarries  on  the  island  of  Atlantis  where  " rocks  of  white,  black,  and  red"  were 
extracted  from  the  hills  and  used  to  construct  a great  island  city.  The  description  matches 
the  rocks  found  on  Santorini. 

The  island-city  of  Atlantis  was  described  as  being  laid  out  in  a series  of  concentric  circles  of 
land  and  water,  each  one  connected  to  the  sea  by  a deep  canal.  Docks  for  a huge  number  of 
ships,  and  a causeway  for  unloading  cargo  of  said  ships,  also  was  described.  Unearthed 
frescos  from  the  island  have  depicted  Santorini  with  a configuration  that  can  be  interpreted  in 
this  way.  It  also  shows  a huge  city  on  the  island,  theorized  by  archaeologists  to  represent  the 
center  of  the  caldera. 


265 


At  Akrotiri  there  are  multi-story  buildings.  This  city  may  have  had  the  earliest  form  of  town 
planning  (structured  assembly  of  interconnecting  roads  and  paths)  ever  discovered,  again, 
with  fresh  running  water  and  toilets  in  each  house  leading  to  a sewer  system.  Many  such 
sites  now  have  been  unearthed,  both  on  Crete  and  Santorini. "

"Minoan  civilization  disappeared  suddenly,  at  the  height  of  its  wealth  and  power.  This  also 
was  similar  to  Plato's  description  of  the  fate  of  the  "Attanteans".  Scientists  theorize  that 
multiple  tsunamis  hit  the  island  of  Crete,  circa  1500  BC,  which  came  from  the  direction  of  the 
island  of  Santorini  (then  called  Thera)  about  100  miles  from  Crete. 

Santorini  is  the  site  of  a massive  caldera  with  an  island  at  its  center.  Vulcanologists  have 
determined  this  ill-fated  island  was  engulfed  by  the  terrible  ca.  1500  BC  eruption  and 
collapse  of  the  Stroggili  volcano  there,  which  affected  the  entire  eastern  Mediterranean,  as 
far  away  as  the  Near  East — possibly  the  most  powerful  eruption  in  recorded  history,  ejecting 
approximately  30  km3  (7  cu  miles)  of  magma,  up  to  36  km  (23  miles)  high.  Volcanic  events  of

Thebes  to  establish  a new  Egyptian  capital  city,  which  he  called  Akhetaten  (meaning  the

and  his  forefathers  by  the  priests  of  Amun.  Obviously,  he  had  hoped  that  the  city  of 
Akhetaten  would  be  his  resting  place  as  well. 

At  the  city  of  Akhetaten,  the  ancient  religion  of  the  Aten  received  a make-over.  Aten  temple 
design,  ritual,  and  symbolism  (by  a falcon-headed  man  and  a sun  disc  referred  to  as  Re- 
Herakhty)  derived  originally  from  the  traditional  solar  god  Ra  whose  center  of  worship  had 
been  from  very  ancient  times  at  Memphis  and  On  (Heliopolis).  By  the  end  of  the  coregency, 
the  falcon-man  had  been  removed  from  the  Aten's  symbol.  The  Aten  had  in  essence 
become  a god  without  human  or  animal  image.  The  disc  of  the  sun  was  now  considered  to 
be  the  single  physical  representation  of  the  invisible  and  eternal  god,  Ra,  and  a deity  in  its 
own  right.  (The  sun  disc  was  used  later  as  a royal  "lamelech " seal  by  the  Kings  of  Judah). 

The  cartouche  of  Akhenaten's  god  and  heavenly  father,  the  Aten,  bore  the  name  Imram.  In 
the  Bible,  Moses  is  referred  to  as  the  son  ofAmram,  the  Hebrew  equivalent. 

The  name  of  the  Egyptian  deity  Aten  transliterates  into  the  Hebrew  word  Adon.  Adon. 
which  is  translated  by  English  Bibles  as  "the  Lord"  (and  Adonai,  translated  as  "my  Lord")  is 
used  along  with  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  in  the  Bible  as  the  exclusive  personal  names  of  God. 
Moreover,  in  ancient  times,  the  name  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  was  written,  but  never  spoken. 
Whenever  the  written  name  Jehovah  (Yhwh)  was  to  be  read  out  loud,  Adon  (Aten)  was 
voiced  instead.  The  written  form  of  Adon  is  infrequent,  however,  its  limited  usage  is 
significant,  especially  in  the  first  six  books  of  the  Bible  (See  under  "LORD"  in  Strong's 


266 


Exhaustive  Concordance),  where  it  is  reserved  for  the  following  applications  alone:  Moses 
addresses  God  using  the  title  Adon/Aten  (Exodus  4:10,13;  5:22;  34:9 ; Numbers  14:17; 
Deuteronomy  3:23;  7:26;  10:17);  Moses,  himself,  is  addressed  both  by  Aaron 
(Ex. 32:22;  Num. 12:11)  and  by  Joshua  (Numbers  11:28)  using  the  title  Adon/Aten ; and 
Joshua  also  addresses  God  using  the  title  Adon/Aten  (Joshua  5:14  b;  7:7).  /Is 
mentioned  above,  there  is  an  established  relationship  between  the  literature  of  the  Egyptian 
18th  Dynasty  and  the  Bible.  Psalm  104  is  an  embellishment  of  the  Hymn  to  the  Aten  which 
was  found  by  archaeologists  at  the  city  of  Akhetaten. 

The  religious  reforms  of  Akhenaten  included  the  rejection  of  traditional  Egyptian  magic  and 
astrology  associated  with  the  cult  of  Amun,  and  the  rejection  of  the  cult  of  Osiris  with  its 
version  of  belief  in  eternal  judgment  and  the  afterlife  as  well.  The  site  chosen  for  the  new 

capital  of  Egypt  further  demonstrated  Akhenaten 's  desire  for  a new  balance  as  it  was 
located  at  the  exact  geodetic  center  of  the  country. "

162  "...  the  destruction  of  T roy  as  the  finale  of  the  Trojan  War." 

"In  Greek  mythology,  the  Trojan  War  was  waged  against  the  city  of  Troy  by  the  Achaeans 
after  Paris  of  Troy  stole  Helen  from  her  husband  Menelaus,  the  king  of  Sparta.  The  war  is 
among  the  most  important  events  in  Greek  mythology,  and  was  narrated  in  many  works  of 
Greek  literature,  including  the  Iliad  and  the  Odyssey  by  Homer.  The  Iliad  relates  a part  of  the 
last  year  of  the  siege  of  Troy,  white  the  Odyssey  describes  the  journey  home  of  Odysseus, 
one  of  the  Achaean  leaders.  Other  parts  of  the  war  were  told  in  a cycle  of  epic  poems,  which 
has  only  survived  in  fragments.  Episodes  from  the  war  provided  material  for  Greek  tragedy 
and  other  works  of  Greek  literature,  and  for  Roman  poets  like  Virgil  and  Ovid. 

The  war  originated  from  a quarrel  between  the  goddesses  Athena,  Hera  and  Aphrodite,  after 
Eris,  the  goddess  of  strife  and  discord,  gave  them  a golden  apple,  sometimes  known  as  the 
Apple  of  Discord,  marked  "for  the  fairest".  The  goddesses  went  to  Paris,  who  judged  that 
Aphrodite,  as  the  "fairest",  should  receive  the  apple.  In  exchange,  Aphrodite  made  Helen, 
the  most  beautiful  of  all  women,  fall  in  love  with  Paris,  who  took  her  to  Troy.  Agamemnon, 
king  of  Mycenae  and  the  brother  of  Helen 's  husband  Menelaus,  led  an  expedition  of 
Achaean  troops  to  Troy  and  besieged  the  city  for  ten  years.  After  the  deaths  of  many  heroes, 
including  the  Achaeans  Achilles  and  Ajax,  and  the  Trojans  Hector  and  Paris,  the  city  fell  to 
the  ruse  of  the  Trojan  Horse.  The  Achaeans  slaughtered  the  Trojans  and  desecrated  the 
temples,  thus  earning  the  gods'  wrath.  Few  of  the  Achaeans  returned  safely  to  their  homes 
and  many  founded  colonies  in  distant  shores.  The  Romans  later  traced  their  origin  to 
Aeneas,  one  of  the  Trojans,  who  was  said  to  have  led  the  surviving  Trojans  to  Italy. 

The  Ancient  Greeks  thought  the  Trojan  War  was  a historical  event  that  had  taken  place  in 
the  13th  or  12th  century  BC,  and  believed  that  Troy  was  located  in  modern  day  Turkey  near 
the  Dardanelles.  By  modem  times  both  the  war  and  the  city  were  widely  believed  to  be  non- 
historical.  In  1870,  however,  the  German  archaeologist  Heinrich  Schliemann  excavated  a 
site  in  this  area  which  he  identified  as  Troy;  this  claim  is  now  accepted  by  most  scholars 

The  Trojan  War  derive  from  a specific  historical  conflict  usually  date  it  to  the  12th  or  11th 
centuries  BC,  often  preferring  the  dates  given  by  Eratosthenes,  1 194-1184  BC,  which 
roughly  corresponds  with  archaeological  evidence  of  a catastrophic  burning  of  Troy. "

"Homer,  the  blind  Greek  poet..." 

"Homer  (ancient  Greek:  pqpog,  Homeros)  was  an  ancient  Greek  (Ionian)  epic  poet , 
traditionally  considered  the  author  of  the  epic  poems  the  Iliad  and  the  Odyssey.  No  reliable 
biographical  information  about  Homer  survives  from  classical  antiquity.  The  cardinal 
qualities  of  the  style  of  Homer  have  been  well  articulated  by  Matthew  Arnold:  "the  translator 
of  Homer,  "he  says,  "should  above  all  be  penetrated  by  a sense  of  the  four  qualities  of  his 
author:  that  he  is  eminently  rapid;  that  he  is  eminently  plain  and  direct,  both  in  the  evolution 
of  his  thought  and  in  the  expression  of  it,  that  is,  both  in  his  syntax  and  in  his  words:  that  he 
is  eminently  plain  and  direct  in  the  substance  of  his  thought,  that  is,  in  his  matter  and  ideas; 
and  finally,  that  he  is  eminently  noble". 

The  language  used  by  Homer  is  an  archaic  version  of  Ionic  Greek,  with  admixtures  from 
certain  other  dialects,  such  as  Aeolic  Greek.  It  later  served  as  the  basis  of  Epic  Greek,  the 
language  of  epic  poetry,  typically  in  dactylic  hexameter. 

A number  of  traditions  hold  that  he  was  blind  (perhaps  because,  in  the  Aeolian  dialect  of 
Cyme,  homeros  bore  this  meaning)  and  that  he  was  born  on  the  island  of  Chios,  at  Smyrna 
or  elsewhere  in  Ionia,  where  various  cities  vied  in  claiming  him  as  one  of  their  native  sons. 
The  characterization  of  Homer  as  a blind  bard  is  supported  by  a possibly  self-referential 
passage  in  the  Odyssey  in  which  a shipwrecked  Odysseus  listens  to  the  tales  of  a blind  bard 
named  Demodocus  while  in  the  court  of  the  Phaeacian  king. "

164  "Solon,  a wise  man  from  Greece  reported  the  existence  of  Atlantis.." 

"Solon  was  a famous  Athenian  statesman,  lawmaker,  and  Lyric  poet.  The  travel  writer, 
Pausanias,  listed  Solon  among  the  Seven  Sages  of  the  ancient  world.  Solon  has  acquired  a 
place  in  history  and  in  folklore  through  his  efforts  to  legislate  against  political,  economic  and 
moral  decline  in  archaic  Athens.  Some  of  his  reforms  failed  in  the  short  term,  yet  he  is  often 
credited  with  having  laid  the  foundations  for  Athenian  democracy. 

After  he  had  finished  reforming  the  country,  Solon  traveled  abroad.  His  first  stop  was  Egypt. 
There  he  visited  Heliopolis,  where  he  discussed  philosophy  with  an  Egyptian  expert  on  the 
subject,  Psenophis.  Subsequently,  at  Sais,  he  visited  Neith 's  temple  and  received  from 
the  priests  there  an  account  of  the  history  of  Atlantis.  Solon  wrote  out  this  history  as 
a poem,  to  which  Plato  subsequently  made  references  in  his  dialogues  Timaios  and 
Critias.  Next  Solon  sailed  to  Cyprus,  where  he  oversaw  the  construction  of  a new  capital  for 
a local  king,  in  gratitude  for  which  the  king  named  it  Soloi. "

165 " Zoroaster..." 

"Zoroaster,  the  prophet  and  poet  sees  the  universe  as  the  cosmic  struggle  between  asa 
“truth  ” and  druj  “lie.  "The  cardinal  concept  of  asa  - which  is  highly  nuanced  and  only  vaguely 
translatable  - is  at  the  foundation  of  all  other  Zoroastrian  doctrine,  including  that  of  Ahura 
Mazda  (who  is  asa),  creation  (that  is  asa),  existence  (that  is  asa)  and  Free  Will,  which  is 
arguably  Zoroaster's  greatest  contribution  to  religious  philosophy.  The  purpose  of 
humankind,  like  that  of  all  other  creation,  is  to  sustain  asa.  For  humankind,  this  occurs 
through  active  participation  in  life  and  the  exercise  of  good  thoughts,  words  and  deeds.

The  name  Zoroaster  was  famous  in  classical  antiquity,  and  a number  of  different  Zoroasters 

- all  described  as  having  occult  powers  - appear  in  historiographic  accounts. 

In  Pliny’s  Natural  History,  Zoroaster  is  said  to  have  laughed  on  the  day  of  his  birth.  He  lived 
in  the  wilderness  and  enjoyed  exploring  it  from  a young  age.  Plutarch  compares  him  with 
Lycurgus  and  Numa  Pompilius  (Numa,  4).  Plutarch,  drawing  partly  on  Theopompus,  speaks 
of  Zoroaster  in  Isis  and  Osiris:  In  this  work,  the  prophet  is  empowered  by  trust  in  his  God  and 
the  protection  of  his  allies.  He  faces  outward  opposition  and  unbelief,  and  inward  doubt. 

The  works  of  Zoroaster  had  a significant  influence  on  Greek  philosophy  and  Roman 
philosophy.  The  ancient  Greek  writer  Eudoxus  of  Cnidus  and  the  Latin  writer  Pliny  the  Elder 
praised  Zoroaster’s  philosophy  as  “the  most  famous  and  most  useful.  ’’  Plato  learnt  of 
Zoroaster’s  philosophy  through  Eudoxus  and  incorporated  some  of  it  into  his  own  Platonic 
realism.  In  the  third  century  BC,  however,  Colotes  accused  Plato's  The  Republic  of 
plagiarizing  parts  of  (what  is  attributed  to)  Zoroaster’s  On  Nature,  such  as  the  Myth  of  Er. 
Plato’s  contemporary,  Heraclides  Ponticus,  wrote  a text  called  Zoroaster  based  on 
Zoroaster’s  philosophy  in  order  to  express  his  disagreement  with  Plato  on  natural 
philosophy. 

Zoroaster  was  mentioned  by  the  nineteenth-century  poet  William  Butler  Yeats.  His  wife  and 
he  were  said  to  have  claimed  to  have  contacted  Zoroaster  through  “automatic  writing.  ’’ 

The  2005  edition  of  the  Oxford  Dictionary  of  Philosophy  places  Zoroaster  first  in  a 
chronology  of  philosophers. "

166  "...  an  IS-BE  called  Ahura  Mazda." 

"Ahura  Mazda  (Ahura  Mazda)  is  the  Avestan  language  name  for  a divinity  exalted  by 
Zoroaster  as  the  one  uncreated  Creator,  hence  God.  He  is  the  nameless  “Father  Asura", 
that  is,  Varuna  of  the  Rigveda.  In  this  view,  Zoroastrian  mazda  is  the  equivalent  of  the  Vedic 
medhira,  described  in  Rigveda  8.6. 10  as  the  “(revealed)  insight  into  the  cosmic  order". 

Ahura  Mazda  is  seen  as  the  Ahura  par  excellence,  superior  to  both  * vouruna  and  * mitra , and 
the  nameless  “Father  Asura"  of  the  Rigveda  and  is  a distinct  divinity.  The  Zoroastrian  faith 
is  thus  described  by  its  adherents  as  Mazdayasna,  the  worship  of  Mazda.  In  the  Avesta, 
“Ahura  Mazda  is  the  highest  object  of  worship".

167  "Laozi,  a philosopher  who  wrote  a small  book  called  "The  Way"..." 

“According  to  tradition,  it  was  written  around  6th  century  BC  by  the  Taoist  sage  Laozi  (or  Lao 
Tzu,  "Old  Master"),  a record-keeper  at  the  Zhou  Dynasty  court,  by  whose  name  the  text  is 
known  in  China.  Tao  Te  Ching  is  a Chinese  classic  text.  Its  name  comes  from  the  opening 
words  of  its  two  sections:  iM  dao  "way,"  and  fide  "virtue". 

This  ancient  book  is  also  central  in  Chinese  religion,  not  only  for  Taoism  (Daojiao  jM&()  but 
Chinese  Buddhism,  which  when  first  introduced  into  China  was  largely  interpreted  through 
the  use  of  Taoist  words  and  concepts.  Many  Chinese  artists,  including  poets,  painters, 


269 


calligraphers,  and  even  gardeners  have  used  the  Tao  Te  Ching  as  a source  of  inspiration.  Its 
influence  has  also  spread  widely  outside  East  Asia,  aided  by  hundreds  of  translations  into 
Western  languages. " 

Tao  is  nameless.  (Tao)  goes  beyond  distinctions,  and  transcends  language. 

Laozi  describes  a state  of  existence  before  time  or  space: 

"The  Way  that  can  be  told  of  is  not  an  unvarying  way: 

The  names  that  can  be  named  are  not  unvarying  names. 

It  was  from  the  Nameless  that  heaven  and  Earth  sprang: 

The  named  is  but  the  mother  that  rears  the  ten  thousand  creatures. 

Each  after  its  kind. " 

"The  Spirit  never  dies. 

It  is  the  Mysterious  Female. 

The  doorway  of  the  Mysterious  Female 

Is  the  base  from  which  Heaven  and  Earth  sprang. 

It  is  there  within  us,  all  the  while: 

Draw  upon  it  as  you  will. 

It  never  runs  dry. 

We  put  spokes  together  and  call  it  a wheel: 

But  it  is  on  the  space  where  there  is  nothing  that  the  value  of  the  wheel  depends. 

We  turn  clay  to  make  a vessel: 

But  it  is  on  the  space  where  there  is  nothing  that  the  value  of  the  vessel  depends. 

We  pierce  doors  and  windows  to  make  a house: 

And  it  is  on  these  spaces  where  there  is  nothing  that  the  value  of  the  house 
depends. 

Therefore  just  as  we  take  advantage  of  what  is, 
we  should  recognize  the  value  of  what  is  not. 

Knowing  others  is  wisdom; 

Knowing  the  self  is  enlightenment. 

Mastering  others  requires  force; 

Mastering  the  self  requires  strength; 

He  who  knows  he  has  enough  is  rich. 

Perseverance  is  a sign  of  will  power. 

He  who  stays  where  he  is,  endures. 

To  die  but  not  to  perish  is  to  be  eternally  present. " 

Many  believe  the  Tao  Te  Ching  contains  universal  truths  that  have  been  independently 
recognized  in  other  philosophies,  both  religious  and  secular. "

169  "...  Omphalos  stones..." 

"An  omphalos  is  an  ancient  religious  stone  artifact,  or  baetylusr.  In  Greek,  the  word 
omphalos  means  "navel"  (compare  the  name  of  Queen  Omphale).  According  to  the  ancient 
Greeks,  Zeus  sent  out  two  eagles  to  fly  across  the  world  to  meet  at  its  center,  the  "navel"  of 
the  world.  Omphalos  stones  used  to  denote  this  point  were  erected  in  several  areas 
surrounding  the  Mediterranean  Sea;  the  most  famous  of  those  was  at  the  oracle  in  Delphi. 

Most  accounts  locate  the  Omphalos  in  the  temple  adyton  near  the  Pythia.  The  stone  itself 
(which  may  have  been  a copy)  has  a carving  of  a knotted  net  covering  its  surface,  and  has  a 
hollow  centre,  which  widens  towards  its  base 

The  Omphalos  at  Delphi  came  to  be  identified  as  the  stone  which  Rhea  wrapped  in 
swaddling  clothes,  pretending  it  was  Zeus.  This  was  to  deceive  Cronus,  his  father,  who 
swallowed  his  children  so  they  could  not  grow  up  and  depose  him  as  he  had  deposed  his 
own  father.  Uranus.  Omphalos  stones  were  said  to  allow  direct  communication  with

171  "...Cyrus  II  of  Persia..." 

Cyrus  the  Great  (c.  590  BC  or  576  — August  529  BC  or  530  BC),  also  known  as  Cyrus  II 
of  Persia  and  Cyrus  the  Elder,  was  a Persian  emperor.  He  was  the  founder  of  the  Persian 


271 


Empire  under  the  Achaemenid  dynasty.  The  empire  expanded  under  his  rule,  eventually 
conquering  most  of  Southwest  Asia  and  much  of  Central  Asia,  from  Egypt  and  the 
Hellespont  in  the  west  to  the  Indus  River  in  the  east,  to  create  the  largest  state  the  world 
had  yet  seen. 

During  his  twenty-nine  year  reign,  Cyrus  fought  against  some  of  the  greatest  states  of  his 
time,  including  the  Median  Empire,  the  Lydian  Empire,  and  the  Neo-Babylonian  Empire. 
Cyrus  did  not  venture  into  Egypt,  as  he  himself  died  in  battle,  fighting  the  Massagetae  along 
the  Syr  Darya  in  August  530  BC.  He  was  succeeded  by  his  son.  Cambyses  II,  who 
managed  to  conquer  Egypt  during  his  short  rule. 

Beyond  his  nation,  Cyrus  left  a lasting  legacy  on  Jewish  religion  (through  his  Edict  of 
Restoration),  politics,  and  military  strategy,  as  well  as  on  both  Eastern  and  Western 
civilization. 

The  only  known  example  of  his  religious  policy  is  his  treatment  of  the  Jews  in  Babylon.  The 
Bible  records  that  a remnant  of  the  Jewish  population  returned  to  the  Promised  Land  from 
Babylon,  following  an  edict  from  Cyrus  to  rebuild  the  temple.  This  edict  is  fully  reproduced  in 
the  Book  of  Ezra.  As  a result  of  Cyrus'  policies,  the  Jews  honored  him  as  a dignified 
and  righteous  king.  He  is  the  only  Gentile  to  be  designated  as  a messiah,  a divinely- 
appointed  king,  in  the  Tanakh  (Isaiah  45:1-6). 

Some  contemporary  Muslim  scholars  have  suggested  that  the  Qur'anic  figure  of  Dhul- 
Qarnayn  is  Cyrus  the  Great.  This  theory  was  proposed  by  Sunni  scholar  Abul  Kaiam  Azad 
and  endorsed  by  Shi'a  scholars  Allameh  Tabatabaei,  in  his  Tafsir  al-Mizan  and  Makarem 
Shirazi  and  Sunni  scholar  Abul  Ala  Maududi. 

During  his  reign,  Cyrus  maintained  control  over  a vast  region  of  conquered  kingdoms, 
achieved  partly  through  retaining  and  expanding  Median  satrapies.  Cyrus'  conquests 
began  a new  era  in  the  age  of  empire  building,  where  a vast  superstate,  comprising 
many  dozens  of  countries,  races,  religions,  and  languages,  were  ruled  under  a single 
administration  headed  by  a central  government. 

In  1992,  he  was  ranked  #87  on  Michael  H.  Hart's  list  of  the  most  influential  figures  in  history. 
On  December  1 0,  2003,  in  her  acceptance  of  the  Nobel  Peace  Prize,  Shirin  Ebadi  evoked 
Cyrus,  saying: 

"I  am  an  Iranian,  a descendant  of  Cyrus  the  Great.  This  emperor  proclaimed  at  the 
pinnacle  of  power  2,500  years  ago  that  he  'would  not  reign  over  the  people  if  they  did 
not  wish  it.'  He  promised  not  to  force  any  person  to  change  his  religion  and  faith  and 
guaranteed  freedom  for  all.  The  Charter  of  Cyrus  the  Great  should  be  studied  in  the 
history  of  human  rights.” 

Many  of  the  forefathers  of  the  United  States  of  America  sought  inspiration  from  Cyrus  the 
Great  through  works  such  as  Cyropaedia.  Thomas  Jefferson,  for  example,  had  two  personal 
copies  of  the  book,  "which  was  a mandatory  read  for  statesmen  alongside  Machiavelli's  The 
Prince. " 

In  a recent  segment  of  ABC's  Nightline  with  Ted  Koppel,  Ted  Koppel  mentioned  Cyrus  the 
Great,  when  he  was  talking  about  the  new  documentary  film  being  made  in  his  honor,  and 
had  this  to  say  of  him: 


272 


"Cyrus  the  Great  is  genuinely  one  of  history's  towering  figures.  America's  own 
founders  such  as  Thomas  Jefferson  were  influenced  by  Cyrus  the  Great  in  the  field  of 
Human  Rights.”

172  "...  unique  system  of  organization  used  by  Cyrus  II..." 

"During  his  reign,  Cyrus  maintained  control  over  a vast  region  of  conquered  kingdoms, 
achieved  partly  through  retaining  and  expanding  Median  satrapies.  Further  organization  of 
newly  conquered  territories  into  provinces  ruled  by  vassal  kings  called  satraps,  was 
continued  by  Cyrus'  successor  Darius  the  Great.  Cyrus ' empire  demanded  only  tribute 
and  conscripts  from  many  parts  of  the  realm. 

Cyrus  was  distinguished  equally  as  a statesman  and  as  a soldier.  By  pursuing  a 
policy  of  generosity  instead  of  repression,  and  by  favoring  local  religions,  he  was  able 
to  make  his  newly  conquered  subjects  into  enthusiastic  supporters.  Due  in  part  to  the 
political  infrastructure  he  created,  the  Achaemenid  empire  endured  long  after  his  demise. 

The  rise  of  Persia  under  Cyrus 's  rule  had  a profound  impact  on  the  course  of  world 
history.  Persian  philosophy,  literature  and  religion  all  played  dominant  roles  in  world 
events  for  the  next  millennia.  Despite  the  Islamic  conquest  of  Persia  in  the  7th  century  CE 
by  the  Islamic  Caliphate  (Arab  Empire),  Persia  continued  to  exercise  enormous  influence 
in  the  Middle  East  during  the  Islamic  Golden  Age. "

173  "...  tree  of  life...." 

"Trees  of  life  appear  in  folklore,  culture  and  fiction,  often  relating  to  immortality.  These 
often  hold  cultural  and  religious  significance  to  the  peoples  for  whom  they  appear. 

The  Sumerian  (or  Persian)  Tree  of  Life  was  represented  by  a series  of  nodes  and  criss- 
crossing lines.  It  was  an  important  religious  symbol  among  these  peoples,  often  attended 
to  by  Eagle  Headed  Gods  & Priests,  or  the  King  himself. 

• In  Chinese  mythology  a carving  of  a Tree  of  Life  depicts  a phoenix  and  a dragon  - 
in  Chinese  mythology  the  dragon  often  represents  immortality.  There  is  also  the 
Taoist  story  of  a tree  that  produces  a peach  every  three  thousand  years.  The  one 
who  eats  the  fruit  receives  immortality. 

• An  archaeological  discovery  in  the  1 990s  was  of  a sacrificial  pit  at  Sanxingdui  in 
Sechuan,  China.  Dating  from  about  1200  BCE,  it  contained  3 bronze  trees,  one 
of  them  4 meters  high.  At  the  base  was  a dragon,  and  fruit  hanging  from  the  lower 
branches.  At  the  top  is  a strange  bird-like  (phoenix)  creature  with  claws.  Also  from 
Sechuan,  from  the  late  Han  dynasty  (c  25  - 220  CE)  is  another  tree  of  life.  The 
ceramic  base  is  guarded  by  a horned  beast  with  wings.  The  leaves  of  the  tree  are 
coins  and  people. 

• In  Egyptian  mythology,  in  the  Ennead  system  of  Heliopolis,  the  first  couple,  apart 
from  Shu  & Tefnut  (moisture  & dryness)  and  Geb  & Nuit  (earth  & sky),  are  Isis  & 
Osiris.  They  were  said  to  have  emerged  from  the  acacia  tree  of  Saosis,  which  the 

Egyptians  considered  the  tree  of  life,  referring  to  it  as  the  "tree  in  which  life 
and  death  are  enclosed". 


273 


The  Egyptian's  Holy  Sycamore  also  stood  on  the  threshold  of  life  and  death, 
connecting  the  two  worlds. 

In  Germanic  paganism,  trees  played  a prominent  role , appearing  in  various 
aspects  of  surviving  texts  and  possibly  in  the  name  of  gods. 

The  tree  of  life  appears  in  Norse  religion  as  Yggdrasil,  the  world  tree,  a massive 
tree  with  extensive  lore  surrounding  it.  Perhaps  related  to  the  Yggdrasil,  accounts 
have  survived  of  Germanic  Tribes  honouring  sacred  trees  within  their  societies. 

In  Norse  Mythology  it  is  the  golden  apples  from  Idunn's  tree  that  provides 
immortality  for  the  gods. 

The  Tree  of  Life  is  mentioned  in  the  Books  of  Genesis,  in  which  it  has  the 
potential  to  grant  immortality  to  Adam  and  Eve.  (However,  it  is  not  immediately 
obvious,  nor  is  it  universally  accepted,  that  the  Book  of  Genesis  account  and  the 
Book  of  Revelation  account  speak  of  the  same  Tree  of  Life.) 

A Tree  of  Life,  in  the  form  of  ten  interconnected  nodes,  is  an  important  part  of 
the  Kabbalah.  /4s  such,  it  resembles  the  ten  Sephirot. 

The  Tree  of  Life  appears  in  the  Book  of  Mormon  in  a revelation  to  Lehi  (see  1 Nephi 
8:10-12).  It  is  symbolic  of  the  love  of  God  (see  1 Nephi  11:21-23),  and  sometimes 
understood  as  salvation  and  post-mortal  existence. 

Etz  Chaim,  Hebrew  for  "Tree  of  Life",  is  a common  term  used  in  Judaism.  The 
expression,  found  in  the  Book  of  Proverbs,  is  figuratively  applied  to  the  Torah  itself. 

Among  pre-Columbian  Mesoamerican  cultures,  the  concept  of  "world  trees"  is  a 
prevalent  motif  in  Mesoamerican  mythical  cosmologies  and  iconography.  World 
trees  embodied  the  four  cardinal  directions,  which  represented  also  the  fourfold 
nature  of  a central  world  tree,  a symbolic  axis  mundi  connecting  the  planes  of 
the  Underworld  and  the  sky  with  that  of  the  terrestrial  world. 

Depictions  of  world  trees,  both  in  their  directional  and  central  aspects,  are  found  in 
the  art  and  mythological  traditions  of  cultures  such  as  the  Maya,  Aztec, 

Izapan,  Mixtec,  Olmec,  and  others,  dating  to  at  least  the  Mid/Late  Formative 
periods  of  Mesoamerican  chronology. 

Directional  world  trees  are  also  associated  with  the  four  Year  bearers  in 
Mesoamerican  calendars,  and  the  directional  colors  and  deities. 

World  trees  are  frequently  depicted  with  birds  in  their  branches,  and  their  roots 
extending  into  earth  or  water  (sometimes  atop  a "water-monster",  symbolic  of 
the  underworld). 

The  central  world  tree  has  also  been  interpreted  as  a representation  of  the  band 
of  the  Milky  Way.  Fragment  of  a bronze  helmet  from  Urartu,  with  the  "Tree  of  Life" 
depicted. 

In  ancient  Armrenia  around  13th  to  6th  century  BC.  the  Tree  of  Life  was  a 
religious  symbol,  drawn  onto  the  exterior  walls  of  fortresses  and  carved  on  the 
armour  of  warriors.  The  branches  of  the  tree  were  equally  divided  on  the  right  and 
left  sides  of  the  stem,  with  each  branch  having  one  leaf,  and  one  leaf  on  the  apex  of 
the  tree.  Servants  (some  winged)  stood  on  each  side  of  the  tree  with  one  of  their 
hands  up  as  if  they  are  taking  care  of  it.  This  tree  can  be  found  on  numerous  Urartu 
artifacts,  such  as  paintings  on  the  walls  of  the  Erebuni  fortress  in  Yerevan,  Armenia. 

The  symbolism  of  the  tree  is  mentioned  in  the  135th  hymn  of  the  10th  book  of 
Rig-Veda,  and  in  the  15th  chapter  of  Bhagavad-gita  (1-4). 

In  the  Japanese  religion  of  Shinto,  trees  were  marked  with  sacred  paper 
symbolizing  lightning  bolts,  as  trees  were  thought  to  be  sacred.  This  was 


274 


propagated  by  the  fact  that  after  they  passed  (died),  ancestors  and  animals 
were  often  portrayed  as  branches  on  the  tree. 

• The  Book  of  One  Thousand  and  One  Nights  has  a story,  'The  Tale  of  Buluqiya ' 
in  which  the  hero  searches  for  immortality  and  finds  a paradise  with  jewel- 
encrusted  trees.  Nearby  is  a Fountain  of  Youth  guarded  by  Al-Khidr.  Unable  to 
defeat  the  guard,  Buluqiya  has  to  return  empty-handed. 

• The  Epic  of  Gilgamesh  is  a similar  quest  for  immortality.  In  Mesopotamian 
mythology,  Etana  searches  for  a 'plant  of  birth ' to  provide  him  with  a son.  This  has 
a solid  provenance  of  antiquity,  being  found  in  cylinder  seals  from  Akkad  (2390  • 
2249  BCE). 

• One  of  the  earliest  forms  of  ancient  Greek  religion  has  its  origins  associated  with 
tree  cults. 

In  mystical  traditions  of  world  religions,  sacred  texts  are  read  for  metaphorical  content 

concerning  the  relationship  between  states  of  mind  and  the  external  experience  of 
reality.  /ts  such,  the  tree  is  a manifestation/causal  symbol  - the  Tree  of  Life  representing 
the  coveted  state  of  eternal  aliveness  or  fulfillment,  not  immortality  of  the  body  or 
soul.  In  such  a state,  physical  death  (which  cannot  be  overcome)  is  nevertheless  a 
choice,  and  direct  experience  of  the  perfect  goodness/divine  reality/god  is  not  only 
possible,  but  ever  present. 

Once  the  ego  (surface  consciousness)  experiences  shame,  having  been  tempted  to  absorb 
or  believe  in  duality  (such  as  eating  of  the  Tree  of  Knowledge  of  Good  and  Evil),  we  are 
protected  from  living  eternally  in  that  limiting,  fallen,  experience  by  the  cherubim  guarding 
the  gate  of  return  to  paradise.  The  cherubim  are  symbolic  of  the  perfect  knowledge  of 
self  or  true  nature,  with  the  power  of  purification  and  return  to  being."

175  "...  faravahar..." 

"The  faravahar  or  farohar  (transliteration  varies)  is  one  of  the  best-known  symbols  of 
Zoroastrianism. 

The  winged  disc  has  a long  history  in  the  art  and  culture  of  the  ancient  Near  and  Middle 
East.  Historically,  the  symbol  is  influenced  by  the  "winged  sun"  hieroglyph  appearing  on 
Bronze  Age  royal  seals.  While  the  symbol  is  currently  thought  to  represent  a Fravashi  (c. 
a guardian  angel)  and  from  which  it  derives  its  name,  what  it  represented  in  the  minds  of 
those  who  adapted  it  from  earlier  Mesopotamian  and  Egyptian  reliefs  is  unclear.  Because 
the  symbol  first  appears  on  royal  inscriptions,  it  is  also  thought  to  represent  the  'Divine 
Royal  Glory'  (khvarenah),  or  the  Fravashi  of  the  king,  or  represented  the  divine  mandate 
that  was  the  foundation  of  a king's  authority. 


275 


This  relationship  between  the  name  of  the  symbol  and  the  class  of  divine  entities  reflects 
the  current  belief  that  the  symbol  represents  a Fravashi.  However,  there  is  no  physical 
description  of  the  Fravashis  in  the  Avesta  and  in  Avestan  the  entities  are 
grammatically  feminine. 

Prior  to  the  reign  of  Darius  I,  the  symbol  did  not  have  a human  form  above  the  wings. 
In  present-day  Zoroastrianism,  the  faravahar  is  said  to  be  a reminder  of  one's  purpose  in 
life,  which  is  to  live  in  such  a way  that  the  soul  progresses  towards  frasho-kereti,  or 
union  with  Ahura  Mazda."

176  "...Oannes..." 

"Oannes  was  the  name  given  by  the  Babylonian  writer  Berossus  in  the  3rd  century  BC  to  a 
mythical  being  who  taught  mankind  wisdom.  Berossus  describes  Oannes  as  having  the  body 
of  a fish  but  underneath  the  figure  of  a man.  He  is  described  as  dwelling  in  the  Persian  Gulf, 
and  rising  out  of  the  waters  in  the  daytime  and  furnishing  mankind  instruction  in  writing,  the 
arts  and  the  various  sciences. 

Once  thought  to  be  based  on  the  ancient  Babylonian  god  Ea,  it  is  now  known  that  Oannes  is 
in  fact  based  on  Uan  (Adapa)  - the  first  of  the  seven  antediluvian  sages  or  Abgallu  (in 
Sumerian  Ab=water,  Gal=Great,  Lu=man),  who  were  sent  by  Ea  to  deliver  the  arts  of 
civilization  to  mankind  in  ancient  Sumerian  mythology,  at  Eridu,  the  oldest  city  of  Sumer. "

177  "Some  members  of  the  lost  Battalion  have  been  found  in  the  oceans  inhabiting  the 
bodies  of  dolphins  or  whales." 

Dolphins  have  long  played  a role  in  human  culture.  Dolphins  are  common  in  Greek 
mythology  and  there  are  many  coins  from  the  time  which  feature  a man  or  boy  riding  on  the 
back  of  a dolphin.  The  Ancient  Greeks  treated  them  with  welcome;  a ship  spotting  dolphins 
riding  in  their  wake  was  considered  a good  omen  for  a smooth  voyage.  Dolphins  also  seem 
to  have  been  important  to  the  Minoans,  judging  by  artistic  evidence  from  the  ruined 
palace  at  Knossos.  In  Hindu  mythology,  the  Ganges  River  Dolphin  is  associated  with 
Ganga,  the  deity  of  the  Ganges  river. 

Dolphins  are  often  regarded  as  one  of  Earth's  most  intelligent  animals,  though  it  is  hard 
to  say  just  how  intelligent  dolphins  are,  as  comparisons  of  species'  relative  intelligence 
are  complicated  by  differences  in  sensory  apparatus,  response  modes,  and  nature  of 
cognition.  Furthermore,  the  difficulty  and  expense  of  doing  experimental  work  with  large 
aquatics  means  that  some  tests  which  could  yield  meaningful  results  still  have  not  been 
carried  out,  or  have  been  carried  out  with  inadequate  sample  size  and  methodology.  Dolphin 
behavior  has  been  studied  extensively  by  humans  however,  both  in  captivity  and  in  the  wild."

178  "...  The  Anunnaki..." 

"The  Anunnaki  are  a group  of  Sumerian  and  Akkadian  deities  related  to,  and  in  some  cases 
overlapping  with,  the  Annuna  (the  'Fifty  Great  Gods')  and  the  Igigi  (minor  gods), 


276 


meaning  something  to  the  effect  of  'those  of  royal  blood'  or  'princely  offspring' or 
"heaven  and  earth 

The  Annunaki  appear  in  the  Babylonian  creation  myth,  Enuma  Elish.  In  the  late  version 
magnifying  Marduk,  after  the  creation  of  mankind,  Marduk  divides  the  Anunnaki  and 
assigns  them  to  their  proper  stations,  three  hundred  in  heaven,  three  hundred  on  the 
earth.  The  Anunnaki  were  the  High  Council  of  the  Gods,  and  Anu's  companions.  They 
were  distributed  through  the  Earth  and  the  Underworld. "

179  "...  flying  on  a "Winged-Disc".  " 

"The  winged  sun  is  a symbol  associated  with  divinity,  royalty  and  power  in  the  Ancient 
Near  East  (Egypt,  Mesopotamia,  Anatolia,  and  Persia).  The  symbol  has  also  been  found  in 
the  records  of  ancient  cultures  residing  in  various  regions  of  South  America  as  well  as 

Australia. 

In  Ancient  Egypt,  the  symbol  is  attested  from  the  Old  Kingdom  (Sneferu,  26th  century  BC), 
often  flanked  on  either  side  with  a uraeus.  In  early  Egyptian  religion,  the  symbol  Behedeti 
represented  Horns  of  Edfu,  later  identified  with  Ra-Harachte.  It  is  sometimes  depicted  on  the 
neck  of  Apis,  the  bull  of  Ptah.  As  time  passed  (according  to  interpretation)  all  of  the 
subordinated  gods  of  Egypt  were  considered  to  be  aspects  of  the  sun  god,  including  e.g. 
Khepri. 

From  roughly  2000  BC,  the  symbol  spread  to  the  Levant  and  to  Mesopotamia.  It  appears  in 
reliefs  with  Assyrian  rulers  and  in  Hieroglyphic  Anatolian  as  a symbol  for  royalty, 
transcribed  as  literally,  "his  own  self,  the  Sun".  From  ca.  the  8th  century  BC,  it  appears  on 
Hebrew  seals,  by  now  as  a generic  symbol  for  "power".  The  symbol  evolved  into  the 
Faravahar  (the  "visual  aspect  ofAhura  Mazda")  in  Zoroastrian  Persia. "

180  ”...  he  established  a high  standard  of  ethical,  and  humanitarian  philosophy..." 

"Up  to  the  time  of  the  conquest  of  Media  by  Cyrus  the  Great,  Median  emperors  ruled  their 
conquered  territories  as  provinces,  through  client  kings  and  governors.  One  of  the  keys  to 
the  Achaemenid  success  (as  with  most  enduring  great  empires)  was  their  open 
attitude  to  the  culture  and  religion  of  the  conquered  people,  so  ironically  the  Persian 
culture  was  the  one  most  affected  as  the  Great  King  endeavored  to  melt  elements 
from  all  his  subjects  into  a new  imperial  style. "

181  "...  Teotihuacan..." 

"Several  authors,  including  Zecharia  Sitchin  and  Graham  Hancock,  have  repeated  each 
other’s  argument  that  there  are  major  correspondences  between  the  pyramids  of  Gizeh  and 
those  of  Teotihuacan.  The  Pyramid  of  the  Sun  is  225m  wide  and  65  m high,  constructed  out 
of  five  successive  layers  of  mud.  Its  ascent  is  via  242  stairs.  The  floor  plan  is  rather  close  to 
that  of  the  Pyramid  of  Khufu  at  Gizeh.  The  Pyramid  of  the  Moon  is  much  smaller:  42  m high 
and  150  m wide,  yet  its  summit  is  as  high  as  that  of  Sun,  because  it  sits  on  the  site’s  highest 


277 


point.  This  feature  can  also  be  seen  in  Gizeh,  where  Khufu's  and  Khafre's  pyramid  reach  an 
equal  height,  even  though  one  is  taller  than  the  other. 

The  most  obvious  comparison,  however,  is  that  the  layout  of  both  the  three  pyramids  at 
Gizeh  and  the  three  main  structures  of  Teotihuacan  represent  the  Belt  of  Orion.  The  Pyramid 
of  the  Moon  compares  with  the  smallest  pyramid  on  the  plateau,  the  Sun  Pyramid  with 
Khafre  and  the  Temple  of  Quetzalcoatl,  which  has  the  largest  ground  plan,  but  never  was 
built  into  a full  pyramid,  compares  with  that  of  Khufu. 

Though  there  are  individual  differences,  I would  suggest  that  the  same  ingredients  have 
been  used,  answering  to  the  same  general  ground  plan:  to  represent  the  Belt  of  Orion,  which 
in  ancient  Egypt  was  the  symbol  of  Horus  (not  Osiris  as  Adrian  Gilbert  and  Robert  Bauvai 
have  argued)  and  in  the  Mayan  culture  was  part  of  the  creation  mythology.  Local  legends 
stated  that  the  complex  was  built  to  transform  men  into  gods.  For  sure,  an  “alien  space 
station  ” could  be  an  interpretation  of  that,  but  it  is  clear  that  the  answer  needs  to  be  located 
in  the  domain  of  religion. 

On  May  1 7,  ca.  150  AD,  the  Pleiades  rose  just  before  the  Sun  in  the  predawn  skies.  This 
synchronization,  known  as  the  heliacal  rising  of  the  Pleiades,  only  lasted  approx.  100  year.  It 
is  now  suggested  that  it  was  this  event  that  was  at  the  origin  of  Teotihuacan.  The  sun  and 
the  Pleiades  are  important  in  the  religious  rituals.  The  Sun-Pleiades  zenith  conjunction 
marked  what  is  known  as  the  New  Fire  ceremony.  Bernardino  de  Sahugun’s  Aztec 
informants  stated  that  the  ceremony  occurred  at  the  end  of  every  52  year  Calendar  Round. 
The  Aztecs  and  their  predecessors  had  carefully  observed  the  Pleiades,  and  on  the 
expected  night  they  were  supposed  to  pass  through  the  zenith,  precisely  at  midnight,  when 
the  ceremony  was  performed. "

182  "...  al-Hassan  ibn-al-Sabbah..." 

"The  story  is  that  al-Flassan  ibn-al-Sabbah  used  hashish  to  enlist  the  aid  of  young  men  into 
his  private  army  known  as  assassins  (aschishin  - or  follower  of  Flassan).  One  of  the  primary 
sources  for  this  information  comes  from  the  writings  of  Marco  Polo  who  visited  the  area  in 
1273,  almost  150  years  after  the  reign  of  Al-Hassan. 

There  are  many  conflicting  facts  and  sources  for  this  information. 

In  the  early  11th  century,  al-Hassan  became  the  head  of  the  Persian  sect  of  the  Ismailians,  a 
rather  obscure  party  of  fanatics  which  gained  local  power  under  his  guidance.  In  1090,  al- 
Hassan  and  his  followers  seized  the  castle  of  Alamut,  in  the  province  of  Rudbar,  which  lies  in 
the  mountainous  region  south  of  the  Caspian  Sea.  It  was  from  this  mountain  home  that  he 
obtained  evil  celebrity  among  the  Crusaders  as  "the  old  man  of  the  mountains",  and  spread 
terror  through  the  Mohammedan  world. 

In  the  account  given  by  Marco  Polo  in  "The  Adventures  [or  Travels]  of  Marco  Polo"  it  is  told 
that  "The  Old  Man  kept  at  his  court  such  boys  of  twelve  years  old  as  seemed  to  him  destined 
to  become  courageous  men.  When  the  Old  Man  sent  them  into  the  garden  in  groups  of  four, 
ten  or  twenty,  he  gave  them  hashish  to  drink.  They  slept  for  three  days,  then  they  were 
carried  sleeping  into  the  garden  where  he  had  them  awakened.

"When  these  young  men  woke,  and  found  themselves  in  the  garden  with  all  these  marvelous 
things,  they  truly  believed  themselves  to  be  in  paradise.  And  these  damsels  were  always 
with  them  in  songs  and  great  entertainments;  they;  received  everything  they  asked  for,  so 
that  they  would  never  have  left  that  garden  of  their  own  will. "

"The  Poor  Fellow-Soldiers  of  Christ  and  of  the  Temple  of  Solomon  commonly  known  as 
the  Knights  Templar  were  among  the  most  famous  of  the  Western  Christian  military  orders. 
The  organization  existed  for  approximately  two  centuries  in  the  Middle  Ages.  It  was  founded 
in  the  aftermath  of  the  First  Crusade  of  1096  to  ensure  the  safety  of  the  many  Europeans 
who  made  the  pilgrimage  to  Jerusalem  after  its  conquest. 

Around  1119,  two  veterans  of  the  First  Crusade,  the  French  knight  Hugues  de  Payens  and 
his  relative  Godfrey  de  Saint-Omer,  proposed  the  creation  of  a monastic  order  for  the 
protection  of  the  pilgrims.  King  Baldwin  II  of  Jerusalem  agreed  to  their  request,  and  gave 
them  space  for  a headquarters  on  the  Temple  Mount,  in  the  captured  At  Aqsa  Mosque.  The 
Temple  Mount  had  a mystique,  because  it  was  above  what  was  believed  to  be  the  ruins  of 
the  Temple  of  Solomon.  The  Crusaders  therefore  referred  to  the  Al  Aqsa  Mosque  as 
Solomon's  Temple,  and  it  was  from  this  location  that  the  Order  took  the  name  of  Poor 
Knights  of  Christ  and  the  Temple  of  Solomon,  or  "Templar"  knights.  The  Order,  with  about 
nine  knights,  had  few  financial  resources  and  relied  on  donations  to  survive.  Their  emblem 
was  of  two  knights  riding  on  a single  horse,  emphasizing  the  Order's  poverty. 

The  Templars'  impoverished  status  did  not  last  long.  They  had  a powerful  advocate  in 
Bernard  of  Clairvaux,  a leading  Church  figure  and  a nephew  of  one  of  the  founding  knights. 
He  spoke  and  wrote  persuasively  on  their  behalf,  and  in  1129  at  the  Council  of  Troyes,  the 
Order  was  officially  endorsed  by  the  Church.  With  this  formal  blessing,  the  Templars  became 
a favored  charity  across  Europe,  receiving  money,  land,  businesses,  and  noble-born  sons 
from  families  who  were  eager  to  help  with  the  fight  in  the  Holy  Land.  Another  major  benefit 
came  in  1139,  when  Pope  Innocent  ll's  papal  bull  Omne  Datum  Optimum  exempted  the 
Order  from  obedience  to  local  laws.  This  ruling  meant  that  the  Templars  could  pass  freely 
through  all  borders,  were  not  required  to  pay  any  taxes,  and  were  exempt  from  all 
authority  except  that  of  the  Pope. 

With  its  clear  mission  and  ample  resources,  the  Order  grew  rapidly.  Templars  were  often  the 
advance  force  in  key  battles  of  the  Crusades,  as  the  knights  on  their  heavily  armed 
warhorses  would  set  out  to  gallop  full  speed  at  the  enemy,  in  an  attempt  to  break  opposition 
lines.  One  of  their  most  famous  victories  was  in  1177  during  the  Battle  of  Montgisard,  where 
some  500  Templar  knights  helped  to  defeat  Saladin's  army  of  more  than  26,000  soldiers. 

Although  the  primary  mission  of  the  Order  was  military,  relatively  few  members  were 
combatants.  The  others  acted  in  support  positions  to  assist  the  knights  and  to 
manage  the  financial  infrastructure.  The  Templar  Order,  though  its  members  were 
sworn  to  individual  poverty,  was  given  control  of  wealth  beyond  direct  donations.  A 
nobleman  who  was  interested  in  participating  in  the  Crusades  might  place  all  his 
assets  under  Templar  management  while  he  was  away.  Accumulating  wealth  in  this 
manner  across  Europe  and  the  Outremer,  the  Order  in  1150  began  generating  letters  of 
credit  for  pilgrims  journeying  to  the  Holy  Land:  pilgrims  deposited  their  valuables  with  a 
local  Templar  preceptory  before  embarking,  received  an  encrypted  document  indicating 


279 


the  value  of  their  deposit,  then  used  that  document  upon  arrival  in  the  Holy  Land  to  retrieve 
their  funds.  This  innovative  arrangement  may  have  been  the  first  formal  system  to 
support  the  use  of  cheques;  it  improved  the  safety  of  pilgrims  by  making  them  less 
attractive  targets  for  thieves,  and  also  contributed  to  the  Templar  coffers. 

Based  on  this  mix  of  donations  and  business  dealing,  the  Templar  established  financial 
networks  across  the  whole  of  Christendom.  They  acquired  large  tracts  of  land,  both  in 
Europe  and  the  Middle  East;  they  bought  and  managed  farms  and  vineyards;  they  built 
churches  and  castles;  they  were  involved  in  manufacturing,  import  and  export;  they  had  their 
own  fleet  of  ships;  and  at  one  point  they  even  owned  the  entire  island  of  Cyrprus.  The 
Templar  arguably  qualifies  as  the  world's  first  multinational  corporation. "

184  " The  Knights  Templar  were  disbanded  by  King  Philip  IV  of  France,  who  was 
deeply  in  debt  to  the  Order." 

"King  Philip  was  already  deeply  in  debt  to  the  Templars  from  his  war  with  the  English  and 
decided  to  seize  upon  the  rumors  for  his  own  purposes.  He  began  pressuring  the  Church  to 
take  action  against  the  Order,  as  a way  of  freeing  himself  from  his  debts. 

On  Friday  October  13,  1307  (a  date  linked  with  the  origin  of  the  Friday  the  13th 
superstition),  Philip  ordered  de  Moiay  and  scores  of  other  French  Templars  to  be 
simultaneously  arrested.  The  Templars  were  charged  with  numerous  heresies  and  tortured 
to  extract  false  confessions  of  blasphemy.  The  confessions,  despite  having  been  obtained 
under  duress,  caused  a scandal  in  Paris.  After  more  bullying  from  Philip,  Pope  Clement  then 
issued  the  bull  Pastoralis  Praeeminentiae  on  November  22,  1307,  which  instructed  all 
Christian  monarchs  in  Europe  to  arrest  all  Templars  and  seize  their  assets. 

Pope  Clement  called  for  papal  hearings  to  determine  the  Templars'  guilt  or  innocence,  and 
once  freed  of  the  Inquisitors'  torture,  many  Templars  recanted  their  confessions.  Some  had 
sufficient  legal  experience  to  defend  themselves  in  the  trials,  but  in  1310  Philip  blocked  this 
attempt,  using  the  previously  forced  confessions  to  have  dozens  of  Templars  burned  at  the 
stake  in  Paris. 

With  the  last  of  the  Order's  leaders  gone,  the  remaining  Templars  around  Europe  were 
either  arrested  and  tried  under  the  Papal  investigation  (with  virtually  none  convicted), 
absorbed  into  other  military  orders  such  as  the  Knights  Hospitaller,  or  pensioned  and 
allowed  to  live  out  their  days  peacefully.  Some  may  have  fled  to  other  territories  outside 
Papal  control,  such  as  excommunicated  Scotland  or  to  Switzerland. 

It  is  estimated  that  at  the  Order's  peak  there  were  between  15,000  and  20,000 
Templars,  of  whom  about  a tenth  were  actual  knights. "

185  "The  Templars  fled  to  Switzerland  where  they  established  an  international  banking 
system..."

"Banking  in  Switzerland  is  characterized  by  stability,  privacy  and  protection  of  clients' 
assets  and  information.  The  country's  tradition  of  bank  secrecy,  which  dates  to  the 
Middle  Ages. 

According  to  the  CIA  World  Factbook.  Switzerland  is  "a  major  international  financial 
centre  vulnerable  to  the  layering  and  integration  stages  of  money  laundering;  despite 
significant  legislation  and  reporting  requirements,  secrecy  rules  persist  and 
nonresidents  are  permitted  to  conduct  business  through  offshore  entities  and  various 
intermediaries... " 

In  1998,  an  international  panel  of  historians  released  a study  that  claimed  a significant 
amount  of  gold  had  been  stolen  from  Holocaust  victims,  as  well  as  the  treasuries  of 
conquered  countries,  and  deposited  in  the  Swiss  National  Bank.  The  panel  found  that, 
despite  evidence  of  theft  and  wrongful  acquisition  of  the  gold,  the  SNB  continued  to  accept 
the  deposits.  In  2000,  a United  States  District  Court  judge  approved  a US$1.85  billion 
settlement  between  several  Swiss  banks  and  Holocaust  victims. "

EDITOR'S  NOTE:  The  most  famous  example  of  this  kind  of  activity  is  the  "Bilderberg 
Conference".  See  the  following  reference  to  this  organization  from  Wikipedia.org: 

"The  Bilderberg  Group  or  Bilderberg  conference  is  an  unofficial  annual  invitation-only 
conference  of  around  130  guests,  most  of  whom  are  persons  of  influence  in  the  fields  of 
business,  media  and  politics. 

The  elite  group  meets  annually  at  luxury  hotels  or  resorts  throughout  the  world  — normally 
in  Europe  — and  once  every  four  years  in  the  United  States  or  Canada.  It  has  an  office  in 
Leiden,  South  Holland,  Netherlands.  The  2007  conference  took  place  from  May  31  to  June  3 
at  the  Ritz-Carlton  Hotel  in  Istanbul,  Turkey. 

Attendees  of  Bilderberg  include  central  bankers,  defense  experts,  mass  media  press 
barons,  government  ministers,  prime  ministers,  royalty,  international  financiers  and 
political  leaders  from  Europe  and  North  America. 

Some  of  the  Western  world's  leading  financiers  and  foreign  policy  strategists  attend 
Bilderberg.  Donald  Rumsfeld  is  an  active  Bilderberger,  as  is  Peter  Sutherland  from  Ireland, 
a former  European  Union  commissioner  and  chairman  of  Goldman  Sachs  and  of  British 
Petroleum.  Rumsfeld  and  Sutherland  served  together  in  2000  on  the  board  of  the 
Swedish/Swiss  engineering  company  ABB.  Former  U.S.  Deputy  Defense  Secretary  and 
former  World  Bank  head  Paul  Wolfowitz  is  also  a member.  The  group's  current  chairman 
is  Etienne  Davignon,  the  Belgian  businessman  and  politician. 

Critics  say  the  Bilderberg  Group  promotes  the  careers  of  politicians  whose  views  are 
representative  of  the  interests  of  multinational  corporations,  at  the  expense  of 
democracy. 

The  group 's  secrecy  and  its  connections  to  power  elites  has  provided  fodder  for  many  who 
believe  that  the  group  is  part  of  a conspiracy  to  create  a New  World  Order. 


281 


Radio  host  Alex  Jones  promotes  the  theory  that  the  group  intends  to  dissolve  the 
sovereignty  of  the  United  States  and  other  countries  into  a supra-national  structure  similar  to 
the  European  Union.  Madrid-based  author  Daniel  Estulin  claims  that  the  long-term  purpose 
of  Bilderberg  is  to  "Build  a One-World  Empire".  He  states  the  group  "is  not  the  end  but  the 
means  to  a future  One  World  Government".  Another  opponent  of  the  group,  Tony  Gosling, 
has  registered  the  domain  name  Bilderberg.org.  largely  hosting  material  critical  of 
Bilderberg. 

Reporter  Jonathan  Duffy,  writing  in  BBC  News  Online  Magazine  states  "In  the  void  created 
by  such  aloofness,  an  extraordinary  conspiracy  theory  has  grown  up  around  the  group  that 
alleges  the  fate  of  the  world  is  largely  decided  by  Bilderberg. "

187  " A primary  influence  of  "Old  Empire"  operatives  on  international  bankers  is  to  act 
as  an  unseen,  non-combatant  provocateur  who  covertly  promote  and  finance 
weapons  and  warfare..." 

(EDITOR'S  NOTE:  An  excellent  modern  example  of  this  activity  has  been  documented  in 

the  World  War  II  financing  of  Nazis  by  (Prescott  Bush,  Director  of  Union  Banking 
Corp.)  the  patriarch  of  President  George  Bush  and  his  son,  President  George  W. 

Bush.: 

"On  October  20,  1942,  the  U.S.  government  ordered  the  seizure  of  Nazi  German  banking 
operations  in  New  York  City  that  were  being  conducted  by  Prescott  Bush,  the  father  of 
former  president  George  Herbert  Walker  Bush. 

Harriman  Bank  was  the  main  Wall  Street  connection  for  several  German  companies  and  the 
varied  U.S.  financial  interests  of  Fritz  Thyssen.  Thyssen  had  been  an  early  financial  backer 
of  the  Nazi  party  until  1938,  but  by  1939  had  fled  Germany  and  was  bitterly  denouncing 
Hitler.  He  was  later  jailed  by  the  Nazis  for  his  opposition  to  the  regime.  Business 
transactions  with  Germany  were  not  illegal  when  Hitler  declared  war  on  the  United  States  on 
December  1 1,  1941,  but,  six  days  after  the  attack  on  Pearl  Harbor,  President  Franklin 
Delano  Roosevelt  signed  the  Trading  With  the  Enemy  Act  after  it  had  been  made  public  that 
U.S.  companies  were  doing  business  with  the  declared  enemy  of  the  United  States. 

On  October  20,  1942,  the  U.S.  government  ordered  the  seizure  of  German  banking 
operations  in  New  York  City.  Roosevelt's  Alien  Property  Custodian,  Leo  T.  Crowley,  signed 
Vesting  Order  Number  248  seizing  Bush's  property  under  the  Trading  with  the  Enemy  Act. 
The  order  cited  only  the  Union  Banking  Corporation  (UBC),  of  which  Bush  was  a director 
and  held  one  share,  which  had  connections  with  a Dutch  bank  owned  by  Thyssen. 

Fox  News  has  reported  that  recently  declassified  material  reveals  that  the  4.000  Union 
Banking  shares  owned  by  the  Dutch  bank  were  registered  in  the  names  of  the  seven  U.S. 
directors,  according  to  a document  signed  by  Homer  Jones,  chief  of  the  division  of 
investigation  and  research  of  the  Office  of  Alien  Property  Custodian,  a World  War  ll-era 
agency.  By  1941  Thyssen  no  longer  had  control  over  his  banking  empire,  which  was  in  the 
hands  of  the  Nazi  government. 

• E.  Roland  Harriman  - 3991  shares  (managed  and  under  voting  control  of 
Prescott  Bush) 

• Cornells  Lievense  - 4 shares  (He  was  the  New  York  banker  of  the  Nazi  Party) 


282 


• Harold  D.  Pennington  - 1 share  (Employed  by  Prescott  Bush  at  Brown  Brothers 
Harriman) 

• Ray  Morris  - 1 share  (a  business  partner  of  the  Bush  and  Harriman  families) 

• Prescott  S.  Bush  - 1 share  (director  of  UBC,  which  was  co-founded  and 
sponsored  by  his  father-in-law  George  Walker;  senior  managing  partner  for  E. 
Roland  Harriman  and  Averell  Harriman) 

• H.J.  Kouwenhoven  - 1 share  (organized  UBC  for  Von  Thyssen,  managed  UBC  in 
Nazi  occupied  Netherlands) 

• Johann  G.  Groeninger  - 1 share  (German  Industrial  Executive,  a not  unimportant 
member  of  the  Nazi  party) 

Both  E.  Roland  Harriman  and  Prescott  Bush  were  members  of  Skull  and  Bones  as  well 
as  being  members  of  the  board  of  Brown  Brothers  Harriman  & Co.. 

The  Harriman  business  interests  seized  under  the  act  in  October  and  November  1942 
included: 

• Union  Banking  Corporation  (UBC)  (for  Thyssen  and  Brown  Brothers  Harriman).  The 
President  of  UBC  at  that  time  was  George  Herbert  Walker,  Bush's  father-in-law. 

• Dutch-American  Trading  Corporation  (with  Harriman) 

• the  Seamless  Steel  Equipment  Corporation  (with  Harriman) 

• Siiesian-American  Corporation  (this  company  was  partially  owned  by  a German 
entity;  during  the  war  the  Germans  tried  to  take  full  control  of  Siiesian-American.  In 
response  to  that,  the  American  government  seized  German  owned  minority  shares 
in  the  company,  leaving  the  U.S.  partners  to  carry  on  the  business.) 

The  assets  were  held  by  the  government  for  the  duration  of  the  war,  then  returned  afterward. 
UBC  was  dissolved  in  1951.  Bush  was  on  the  board  of  directors  of  UBC  and  held  one 
share  in  the  company.  For  it,  he  was  reimbursed  $1,500, 000. (a  huge  amount  of  money 
at  the  time  - but  there  is  no  documentary  evidence  to  support  this  claim)  These 
supposed  assets  were  later  used  to  launch  Bush  family  investments  in  the  Texas 
energy  industry. 

Toby  Rogers  has  claimed  that  Bush's  connections  to  Silesian  businesses  (with  Thyssen  and 
Flick)  make  him  complicit  with  the  mining  operations  in  Nazi-occupied  Poland  which  used 
slave  labor  out  of  Oswigcim,  where  the  Auschwitz  concentration  camp  was  later  constructed. 

The  New  York  Herald-Tribune  referred  to  Thyssen  as  "Hitler's  Angel"  and  mentioned 
Bush  as  an  employee  of  the  investment  banking  firm  Thyssen  used  in  the  United 
States.  Some  records  in  the  National  Archives,  including  the  Harriman  papers,  document 
the  continued  relationship  of  Brown  Brothers  Harriman  with  Thyssen  and  some  of  his 
German  investments  up  until  his  1951  death.  Investigator  John  Loftus  has  said,  "As  a 
former  federal  prosecutor,  I would  make  a case  for  Prescott  Bush,  his  father-in-law 
(George  Walker)  and  Averell  Harriman  [to  be  prosecuted]  for  giving  aid  and  comfort  to 
the  enemy.  They  remained  on  the  boards  of  these  companies  knowing  that  they  were 
of  financial  benefit  to  the  nation  of  Germany. " 

Two  former  slave  laborers  from  Poland  have  filed  suit  in  London  against  the 
government  of  the  United  States  and  the  heirs  of  Prescott  Bush  in  the  amount  of  $40 
billion.  A class-action  lawsuit  filed  in  the  U.S.  in  2001  was  dismissed  based  on  the  principle 
of  state  sovereignty. 


283 


Prescott  Bush  connection  to  the  Merchants  of  Death  industry  came  from  his  father  Samuel 
P.  Bush  who  worked  for  Buckeye  Steel  Castings  Company  which  manufactured  railway 
parts  for  the  railroad  industry  and  barrels  for  guns  and  casings  for  shells  for  Remington 
Arms. "

Swiss  Banks  the  Nazi  war  machine:

known  at  the  end  of  World  War  II.  Read  the  details  on  the  following  website: 
http://www.religioustolerance.org/holo_apol.htm 

"The  Secret  War  Against  the  Jews,  Unholy  Trinity  (By  Mark  Aarons,  John  Loftus)  tells 
one  of  the  darkest  tales  of  World  War  II.  After  the  war  had  ended,  fearing  a surge  of  Soviet 
growth,  the  Papacy  entered  into  an  espionage  alliance  with  British  and  American  intelligence 
agents.  Subsuming  justice  to  the  nascent  Cold  War  ideology,  these  three  powers  ferreted 
Nazi  criminals  out  of  Europe  so  that  they  could  be  used  in  the  supposedly  greater  fight 
against  Communism.  The  Vatica's  Nazi  smuggling  network  was  penetrated  by  Prince  Anton 
Turkul,  the  great  Soviet  double  agent  who  turned  the  operations  into  a sting  for  his  masters 
in  the  Kremlin.  Unholy  Trinity  exposes  TurkuTs  "Red  Nazi”  operation  for  the  first  time  and 
shows  how  Kim  Philby.  the  infamous  British-Soviet  double  agent,  and  his  network  were 
nearly  sacrificed  to  preserve  TurkuTs  Vatican  operation.  Exploring  the  Vatican's  role  in  aiding 
Nazi  criminals  to  escape  punishment  for  their  crimes,  this  book,  originally  published  in  1991, 
first  revealed  the  Vatican-Swiss  bank  connection  to  Nazi  gold  and  documented  the  hidden 
links  to  Western  investors  in  Nazi  Germany.  Since  1991,  major  revelations  about  the  role  of 
Swiss  banks  have  confirmed  Unholy  Trinity's  expose  of  the  flight  of  the  Nazi's  stolen 
treasures;  the  new  introduction  and  new  final  chapters,  written  by  Aarons  and  Loftus  for  this 
edition,  bring  the  book  completely  up  to  date  and  show  how  the  media  have  missed  the  vital 
Vatican  connection  in  the  Swiss-bank  story.  Among  other  things,  the  authors  demonstrate 
that  U.S.  and  British  code-breakers  were  fully  aware  of  the  Holocaust  as  early  as  1941  but 
lied  to  the  Western  press;  that  the  code-breakers  bugged  the  Swiss  banks  and  then  buried 
secrets  of  Nazi  gold  transfers  to  protect  U.S.  intelligence  chief  Allen  Dulles;  and  that  the 
Australian,  British,  and  Canadian  governments  are  still  waging  a campaign  to  keep  their 
citizens  ignorant  about  the  Nazi  war  criminals  living  among  them.  Covers  all  these  topics  and 
more,  Unholy  Trinity  is  the  definitive  history  of  a series  of  profoundly  disturbing  cover-ups 
involving  the  Holy  See,  Allen  Dulles,  the  Swiss  banks,  and  the  remnants  of  the  Third  Reich. "

188  "...Bloodletting..." 

"Bloodletting  is  one  of  the  oldest  medical  practices,  having  been  practiced  among  diverse 
ancient  peoples,  including  the  Mesopotamians,  the  Egyptians,  the  Greeks,  the  Mayans,  and 
the  Aztecs.  In  Greece,  bloodletting  was  in  use  around  the  time  of  Hippocrates,  who  mentions 
bloodletting  but  in  general  relied  on  dietary  techniques.  Erasistratus,  however,  theorized  that 
many  diseases  were  caused  by  plethoras,  or  overabundances,  in  the  blood,  and  advised 
that  these  plethoras  be  treated,  initially,  by  exercise,  sweating,  reduced  food  intake,  and 
vomiting.  Herophilus  advocated  bloodletting.  Archagathus,  one  of  the  first  Greek  physicians 
to  practice  in  Rome,  practiced  bloodletting  extensively  and  gained  a most  sanguinary 
reputation. 

The  popularity  of  bloodletting  in  Greece  was  reinforced  by  the  ideas  of  Galen,  after  he 
discovered  the  veins  and  arteries  were  filled  with  blood,  not  air  as  was  commonly  believed  at 
the  time.  There  were  two  key  concepts  in  his  system  of  bloodletting.  The  first  was  that  blood 
was  created  and  then  used  up,  it  did  not  circulate  and  so  it  could  "stagnate"  in  the 
extremities.  The  second  was  that  humoral  balance  was  the  basis  of  illness  or  health,  the  four 
humours  being  blood,  phlegm,  black  bile,  and  yellow  bile,  relating  to  the  four  Greek  classical 
elements  of  air,  water,  earth  and  fire.  Galen  believed  that  blood  was  the  dominant  humour 
and  the  one  in  most  need  of  control.  In  order  to  balance  the  humours,  a physician  would 
either  remove  "excess'  blood  (plethora)  from  the  patient  or  give  them  an  emetic  to  induce 
vomiting,  or  a diuretic  to  induce  urination. 

Bloodletting  was  especially  popular  in  the  young  United  States  of  America,  where  Benjamin 
Rush  (a  signatory  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence)  saw  the  state  of  the  arteries  as  the

"'The  Vedas  are  very  exhaustive  scriptures.  Each  Veda  contains  several  sections  and 
thousands  of  hymns.  Some  of  the  Vedic  hymns,  especially  the  hymns  of  the  Rig  Veda,  are 
considered  to  be  at  least  6000-8000  years  old. 

The  Vedas  are  believed  to  be  revealed  scriptures,  because  they  are  considered  to  be 
divine  in  origin.  Since  they  were  not  written  by  any  human  beings  but  were  only  heard 
in  deep  meditative  states,  they  are  commonly  referred  as  srutis  or  those  that  were  heard. "

"The  Vedas  (Sanskrit  veda  tR  "knowledge")  are  a large  corpus  of  texts  originating  in  Ancient 
India.  They  form  the  oldest  layer  of  Sanskrit  literature  and  the  oldest  sacred  texts  of 
Hinduism.  According  to  Hindu  tradition,  the  Vedas  are  "not  human  compositions",  being 
supposed  to  have  been  directly  revealed,  and  thus  are  called  sruti  ("what  is  heard").  Vedic 
mantras  are  recited  at  Hindu  prayers,  religious  functions  and  other  auspicious  occasions. 

Philosophies  and  sects  that  developed  in  the  Indian  subcontinent  have  taken  differing 
positions  on  the  Vedas.  Schools  of  Indian  philosophy  which  cite  the  Vedas  as  their  scriptural 
authority  are  classified  as  "orthodox"  (astika).  Other  traditions,  notably  Buddhism  and 
Jainism,  though  they  are  (like  the  vedanta)  similarly  concerned  with  liberation  did  not  regard 
the  Vedas  as  divine  ordinances  but  rather  human  expositions  of  the  sphere  of  higher 
spiritual  knowledge,  hence  not  sacrosanct. "

190  "...  the  IS-BE  who  wrote  a fictitious  story  one  dark  and  stormy  night..." 

Frankenstein:  or,  The  Modern  Prometheus  is  a novel  written  by  the  British  author  Mary 
Shelley.  Shelley  wrote  the  novel  when  she  was  18  years  old.  The  first  edition  was 
published  anonymously  in  London  in  1818.  Shelley's  name  appears  on  the  revised  third 
edition,  published  in  1831.  The  title  of  the  novel  refers  to  a scientist,  Victor  Frankenstein, 
who  learns  how  to  create  life  and  creates  a being  in  the  likeness  of  man,  but  larger  than 
average  and  more  powerful. 

The  story  has  had  an  influence  across  literature  and  popular  culture  and  spawned  a 
complete  genre  of  horror  stories  and  films.  It  Is  arguably  considered  the  first  fully 
realized  science  fiction  novel.  The  novel  raises  many  issues  that  can  be  linked  to 
today's  society. 

During  the  rainy  summer  of  1816,  the  "Year  Without  a Summer,"  the  world  was  locked 
in  a long  cold  volcanic  winter  caused  by  the  eruption  of  Mount  Tambora  in  1815.  Mary 
Wollstonecraft  Godwin,  age  19,  and  her  lover  (and  later  husband)  Percy  Bysshe  Shelley, 
visited  Lord  Byron  at  the  Villa  Diodati  by  Lake  Geneva  in  Switzerland.  The  weather  was 
consistently  too  cold  and  dreary  that  summer  to  enjoy  the  outdoor  holiday  activities  they  had 
planned,  so  the  group  retired  indoors  until  almost  dawn  talking  about  science  and  the 
supernatural.  After  reading  Fantasmagoriana,  an  anthology  of  German  ghost  stories, 
they  challenged  one  another  to  each  compose  a story  of  their  own,  the  contest  being 
won  by  whoever  wrote  the  scariest  tale. 

Mary  conceived  an  idea  after  she  fell  into  a waking  dream  or  nightmare  during  which 
she  saw  "the  pale  student  of  unhallowed  arts  kneeling  beside  the  thing  he  had  put 
together."  Byron  managed  to  write  just  a fragment  based  on  the  vampire  legends  he  heard 
while  travelling  the  Balkans,  and  from  this  Polidori  created  The  Vampyre  (1819),  the 
progenitor  of  the  romantic  vampire  literary  genre.  Two  legendary  horror  tales  originated  from 
this  one  circumstance. 

Radu  Florescu,  in  his  book  In  Search  of  Frankenstein,  argued  that  Mary  and  Percy  Shelley 
visited  Castle  Frankenstein  on  their  way  to  Switzerland,  near  Darmstadt  along  the  Rhine, 
where  a notorious  alchemist  named  Konrad  Dippel  had  experimented  with  human  bodies."

'...Grimm's  Fairy  Tales...' 


"The  world  famous  collection  of  German  origin  fairy  tales  Kinder-  und  Hausmarchen  (KHM; 
English:  Children's  and  Household  Tales),  commonly  known  as  Grimm's  Fairy  Tales,  was 
first  published  in  1812  by  Jacob  and  Wilhelm  Grimm,  the  Brothers  Grimm.  The  brothers 
developed  an  interest  in  ancient  fairy  tales.  They  started  to  collect  and  write  down  tales  that 
they  alleged  had  been  handed  down  for  generations.  On  December  20.  1812  they  published 
the  first  volume  of  the  first  edition,  containing  86  stories;  the  second  volume  of  70  stories 
followed  in  1814. 

The  first  volumes  were  much  criticized  because,  although  they  were  called  "Children's 
Tales",  they  were  not  regarded  as  suitable  for  children,  both  for  the  scholarly  information 
included  and  the  subject  matter.  Many  changes  through  the  editions — such  as  turning  the 
wicked  mother  of  the  first  edition  in  Snow  White  and  Hansel  and  Gretel  to  a stepmother, 
were  probably  made  with  an  eye  to  such  suitability.  They  removed  sexual  references,  such 
as  Rapunzel's  betraying  the  prince  by  asking  why  her  clothing  no  longer  fit,  and  so  revealing 
her  pregnancy,  but  in  many  respects,  violence,  particularly  when  punishing  villains,  was 
increased. 

The  influence  of  these  books  was  widespread.  It  ranks  behind  only  the  Bible  and  the  works 
of  William  Shakespeare  in  sales.  W.  H.  Auden  praised  it,  during  World  War  II,  as  one  of  the 
founding  works  of  Western  culture.  The  tales  themselves  have  been  put  to  many  uses.  The 
Nazis  praised  them  as  folkish  tales  showing  children  with  sound  racial  instincts  seeking 
racially  pure  marriage  partners,  and  so  strongly  that  the  Allied  forces  warned  against  them. 
Writers  about  the  Holocaust  have  combined  the  tales  with  their  memoirs. "

"Hinduism  is  often  referred  to  as  Sanatana  Dharma,  a Sanskrit  phrase  meaning  "the  eternal 
path"  or  "the  eternal  law". 

Hinduism  is  the  world's  oldest  major  religion  that  is  still  practiced.  Its  earliest  origins  can  be 
traced  to  the  ancient  Vedic  civilization.  A conglomerate  of  diverse  beliefs  and  traditions, 
Hinduism  has  no  single  founder.  It  is  the  world's  third  largest  religion  following  Christianity 
and  Islam,  with  approximately  a billion  adherents,  of  whom  about  905  million  live  in  India  and 
Nepal. 

Hinduism  is  an  extremely  diverse  religion.  Although  some  tenets  of  the  faith  are  accepted  by 
most  Hindus,  scholars  have  found  it  difficult  to  identify  any  doctrines  with  universal 
acceptance  among  all  denominations.  Prominent  themes  in  Hindu  beliefs  include  Dharma 
(ethics/duties).  Samsara  (The  continuing  cycle  of  birth,  life,  death  and  rebirth),  Karma  (action 
and  subsequent  reaction),  Moksha  (liberation  from  samsara),  and  the  various  Yogas  (paths 
or  practices). 

Hinduism  is  a diverse  system  of  thought  with  beliefs  spanning  monotheism,  polytheism, 
panentheism.  pantheism,  monism  and  atheism.  It  is  sometimes  referred  to  as  henotheistic 
(devotion  to  a single  God  while  accepting  the  existence  of  other  gods),  but  any  such  term  is 
an  oversimplification  of  the  complexities  and  variations  of  belief.

193  "...  Arcadia  Regeneration  Company". 

"One  of  the  birthplaces  reported  for  Zeus  is  Mount  Lycaeum  in  Arcadia.  Lycaon,  a 
cannibalistic  Peiasgian  king,  was  transformed  into  a werewolf  by  Zeus.  Lycaon's  daughter 
was  Callisto.  It  was  also  said  to  have  been  the  birthplace  of  Zeus'  son,  Hermes. 

Arcadia  remained  a rustic,  secluded  area,  and  its  inhabitants  became  proverbial  as  primitive 
herdsmen  leading  simple  pastoral  unsophisticated  yet  happy  lives,  to  the  point  that  Arcadia 
may  refer  to  some  imaginary  idyllic  paradise. 

The  Latin  phrase  Et  in  Arcadia  ego  which  is  usually  interpreted  to  mean  "I  am  also  in 
Arcadia " or  "I  am  even  in  Arcadia  " is  an  example  of  memento  mori,  a cautionary 
reminder  of  the  transitory  nature  of  life  and  the  inevitability  of  death.  The  phrase  is 
most  often  associated  with  a 1647  painting  by  Nicolas  Poussin,  also  known  as  "The 
Arcadian  Shepherds".  In  the  painting  the  phrase  appears  as  an  inscription  on  a tomb 
discovered  by  youthful  figures  in  classical  garb.  It  has  been  suggested  that  the  phrase  is  an 
anagram  for  the  Latin  phrase  "I!  Tego  arcana  Dei",  which  translates  to  "Begone!  I keep 
God's  secrets. "

Molecular  analysis  of  conserved  sequences  in  the  ribosomai  RNAs  of  modern  organisms 
reveals  a three-domain  phytogeny  that  converges  in  a universal  ancestor  for  all  life. 

We  used  the  Clusters  of  Orthoiogous  Groups  database  and  information  from  published 
genomes  to  search  for  other  universally  conserved  genes  that  have  the  same  phylogenetic 
pattern  as  ribosomai  RNA,  and  therefore  constitute  the  ancestral  genetic  core  of  cells. 

Our  analyses  identified  a small  set  of  genes  that  can  be  traced  back  to  the  universal 
ancestor  and  have  coevolved  since  that  time. 

As  indicated  by  earlier  studies,  almost  all  of  these  genes  are  involved  with  the  transfer  of 
genetic  information,  and  most  of  them  directly  interact  with  the  ribosome.  Other  universal 
genes  have  either  undergone  lateral  transfer  in  the  past,  or  have  diverged  so  much  in 
sequence  that  their  distant  past  could  not  be  resolved.  The  nature  of  the  conserved  genes 
suggests  innovations  that  may  have  been  essential  to  the  divergence  of  the  three 
domains  of  life.  The  analysis  also  identified  several  genes  of  unknown  function  with

"The  basic  ideals  of  Eugenics  can  be  found  from  the  beginnings  of  Western  civilization.  The 
philosophy  was  most  famously  expounded  by  Plato,  who  believed  human  reproduction 
should  be  monitored  and  controlled  by  the  state.  The  basic  eugenic  principle  from  Plato’s 
The  Republic  was,  “The  best  men  must  have  intercourse  with  the  best  women  as  frequently 
as  possible,  and  the  opposite  is  true  of  the  very  inferior. 

However,  Plato  understood  this  form  of  government  control  would  not  be  readily  accepted, 
and  proposed  the  truth  be  concealed  from  the  public  via  a fixed  lottery.  Mates,  in  Plato’s 
Republic,  would  be  chosen  by  a “marriage  number’’  in  which  the  quality  of  the  individual 
would  be  quantitatively  analyzed,  and  persons  of  high  numbers  would  be  allowed  to 
procreate  with  other  persons  of  high  numbers.  In  theory,  this  would  lead  to  predictable 
results  and  the  improvement  of  the  human  race.  However.  Plato  acknowledged  the  failure  of 
the  “marriage  number’’  since  “gold  soul’’  persons  could  still  produce  “bronze  soul”  children. 
This  might  have  been  one  of  the  earliest  attempts  to  mathematically  analyze  genetic 
inheritance,  which  was  not  perfected  until  the  development  of  Mendelian  genetics  and  the 
mapping  of  the  human  genome. 

Other  ancient  civilizations,  such  as  Rome  and  Sparta,  practiced  infanticide  as  a form  of 
phenotypic  selection.  In  Sparta,  newborns  were  inspected  by  the  city's  elders,  who  decided 
the  fate  of  the  infant.  If  the  child  was  deemed  incapable  of  living,  it  was  usually  thrown  from 
the  Taygetus  mountain.  It  was  more  common  for  girls  than  boys  to  be  killed  this  way.  Trials 


289 


for  babies  which  included  bathing  them  in  wine  and  exposing  them  to  the  elements.  To 
Sparta,  this  would  ensure  only  the  strongest  survived  and  procreated.  Adolf  Hitler 
considered  Sparta  to  be  the  first  "Volkisch  State, " and  much  like  Ernst  Haeckel  before  him, 
praised  Sparta  due  to  its  primitive  form  of  eugenics  practice  of  selective  infanticide  policy 
which  was  applied  on  deformed  children. 

The  12  Tables  of  Roman  Law,  established  early  in  the  formation  of  the  Roman  Republic, 
stated  in  the  fourth  table  that  deformed  children  would  be  put  to  death.  In  addition,  patriarchs 
in  Roman  society  were  given  the  right  to  "discard"  infants  at  their  discretion.  This  was  often 
done  by  drowning  undesired  newborns  in  the  Tiber  River. 

Sir  Francis  Galton  initially  developed  the  ideas  of  eugenics  using  social  statistics.  Sir 
Francis  Galton  systematized  these  ideas  and  practices  according  to  new  knowledge  about 
the  evolution  of  man  and  animals  provided  by  the  theory  of  his  cousin  Charles  Darwin  during 
the  1860s  and  1870s.  After  reading  Darwin's  Origin  of  Species,  Galton  built  upon  Darwin's 
ideas  whereby  the  mechanisms  of  natural  selection  were  potentially  thwarted  by  human 
civilization.  He  reasoned  that,  since  many  human  societies  sought  to  protect  the 
underprivileged  and  weak,  those  societies  were  at  odds  with  the  natural  selection 
responsible  for  extinction  of  the  weakest;  and  only  by  changing  these  social  policies  could 
society  be  saved  from  a "reversion  towards  mediocrity, " a phrase  he  first  coined  in  statistics 
and  which  later  changed  to  the  now  common  "regression  towards  the  mean. "

...species... 

"In  biology,  a species  is  one  of  the  basic  units  of  biological  classification  and  a taxonomic 
rank.  A species  is  often  defined  as  a group  of  organisms  capable  of  interbreeding  and 
producing  fertile  offspring.  While  in  many  cases  this  definition  is  adequate,  more  precise  or 
differing  measures  are  often  used,  such  as  based  on  similarity  of  DN A or  morphology. 
Presence  of  specific  locally-adapted  traits  may  further  subdivide  species  into  subspecies. 

The  commonly  used  names  for  plant  and  animal  taxa  sometimes  correspond  to  species:  for 
example,  "lion, " "walrus, " and  "Camphor  tree, " each  refers  to  a species.  In  other  cases 
common  names  do  not:  for  example,  "deer"  refers  to  a family  of  34  species,  including  Eld's 
Deer,  Red  Deer  and  Wapiti  (Elk).  The  last  two  species  were  once  considered  a single 
species,  illustrating  how  species  boundaries  may  change  with  increased  scientific 
knowledge. 

Each  species  is  placed  within  a single  genus.  This  is  a hypothesis  that  the  species  is  more 
closely  related  to  other  species  within  its  genus  than  to  species  of  other  genera.  All  species 
are  given  a binomial  name  consisting  of  the  generic  name  and  specific  name  (or  specific 
epithet).  For  example,  Pinus  palustris  (commonly  known  as  the  Longleaf  Pine). 

A usable  definition  of  the  word  "species"  and  reliable  methods  of  identifying  particular 
species  are  essential  for  stating  and  testing  biological  theories  and  for  measuring 
biodiversity.  Traditionally,  multiple  examples  of  a proposed  species  must  be  studied  for 
unifying  characters  before  it  can  be  regarded  as  a species.  Extinct  species  known  only  from 
fossils  are  generally  difficult  to  give  precise  taxonomic  rankings  to.  A species  which  has 
been  described  scientifically  can  be  referred  to  by  its  binomial  names. 

Nevertheless,  as  Charles  Darwin  remarked, 


290 


'/  look  at  the  term  species  as  one  arbitrarily  given  for  the  sake  of  convenience  to  a 
set  of  individuals  closely  resembling  each  other ....  it  does  not  essentially  differ  from 
the  term  variety,  which  is  given  to  less  distinct  and  more  fluctuating  forms.  The  term 
variety,  again  in  comparison  with  mere  individual  difference,  is  also  applied 
arbitrarily,  and  for  mere  convenience  sake. ' 

Because  of  the  difficulties  with  both  defining  and  tallying  the  total  numbers  of  different 
species  in  the  world,  it  is  estimated  that  there  are  anywhere  between  2 million  and  100 
million  different  species. "

198  "...species  of  beetle..." 

"Beetles  are  a group  of  insects  which  have  the  largest  number  of  species.  They  are  placed 
in  the  order  Coieoptera,  which  means  "sheathed  wing"  and  contains  more  described  species 
than  in  any  other  order  in  the  animal  kingdom,  constituting  about  twenty-five  percent  of  all 
known  life-forms.  Forty  percent  of  all  described  insect  species  are  beetles  (about  350, 000 
species),  and  new  species  are  frequently  discovered.  Estimates  put  the  total  number  of 
species,  described  and  undescribed,  at  between  5 and  8 million. 

Beetles  can  be  found  in  almost  all  habitats,  but  are  not  known  to  occur  in  the  sea  or  in  the 
polar  regions.  They  interact  with  their  ecosystems  in  several  ways.  They  often  feed  on  plants 
and  fungi,  break  down  animal  and  plant  debris,  and  eat  other  invertebrates.  Some  species 
are  prey  of  various  animals  including  birds  and  mammals.  Certain  species  are  agricultural 
pests,  such  as  the  Colorado  potato  beetle  Leptinotarsa  decemlineata,  the  boll  weevil 
Anthonomus  grandis,  the  red  flour  beetle  Tribolium  castaneum,  and  the  mungbean  or 
cowpea  beetle  Callosobruchus  maculatus,  while  other  species  of  beetles  are  important 
controls  of  agricultural  pests.  For  example,  coccinellidae  ("ladybirds"  or  "ladybugs")  consume 
aphids,  scale  insects,  thrips,  and  other  plant-sucking  insects  that  damage  crops. "

"Genetic  engineering,  recombinant  DNA  technology,  genetic  modification  / 
manipulation  (GM)  and  gene  splicing  are  terms  applied  to  the  direct  manipulation  of  an 
organism's  genes.  Genetic  engineering  is  not  to  be  confused  with  traditional  breeding  where 
the  organism's  genes  are  manipulated  indirectly.  Genetic  engineering  uses  the  techniques  of 
molecular  cloning  and  transformation.  Genetic  engineering  endeavors  have  found  some 
success  in  improving  crop  technology,  the  manufacture  of  synthetic  human  insulin  through 
the  use  of  modified  bacteria,  the  manufacture  of  erythropoietin  in  Chinese  hamster  ovary 
cells,  and  the  production  of  new  types  of  experimental  mice  such  as  the  oncomouse  (cancer 
mouse)  for  research. 

Since  a protein  sequence  is  specified  by  a segment  of  DNA  called  a gene,  novel  versions  of 
that  protein  can  be  produced  by  changing  the  DNA  sequence  of  the  gene.  The  companies 
that  own  the  modified  genome  are  able  to  patent  it.  In  the  case  of  basic  crops,  the 
companies  gain  control  of  foodstuffs,  controlling  food  production  on  a large  scale  and 
reducing  agrobidiversity  to  a few  varieties.  The  only  apparent  interest  in  promoting  this 
tecnology  appears  to  be  purely  economic,  despite  the  claims  of  seed  companies  such  as 


291 


Monsanto  and  Novartis  to  solve  the  world  food  scarcity.  It  is  now  popularly  understood  that  it 
is  not  the  lack  of  food  on  a wholewide  scale  that  is  the  main  problem,  but  its  distribution, 
aggravated  by  prohibitive  tariffs  by  rich  nations.  Genetically  modified  crops  do  not  reduce 
hunger.  The  majority  of  genetically  crops  are  destined  for  animal  food  to  meet  the  high 
demand  for  meat  in  developed  countries.  No  genetic  modification  have  yet  to  serve  the 
needs  of  mankind  despite  all  the  promises  in  this  direction. 

However,  even  with  regard  to  this  technology's  great  potential,  some  people  have  raised 
concerns  about  the  introduction  of  genetically  engineered  plants  and  animals  into  the 
environment  and  the  potential  dangers  of  human  consumption  of  GM  foods.  They  say  that 
these  organisms  have  the  potential  to  spread  their  modified  genes  into  native  populations 
thereby  disrupting  natural  ecosystems.  This  has  already  happened. "

their  "load"  of  mutations.  Balance  school  held  that  many  loci  will  be  heterozygous  in  natural 
populations  and  heterozygotes  maintained  by  "balancing  selection"  (heterozygote 
advantage).  Selection  thus  plays  a role  in  maintaining  variation. 

How  do  we  measure  variation?  To  show  that  there  is  a genetic  basis  to  a continuously 
varying  character  one  can  study  1 ) resemblance  among  relatives:  look  at  the  offspring  of 
individuals  from  parents  in  different  parts  of  the  distribution;  can  estimate  heritability  (more 
later).  2)  artificial  selection:  pigeons  and  dogs  show  that  there  is  variation  present;  does 
not  tell  how  much  variation. "

"...  Proteobacteria..." 

"The  Proteobacteria  are  a major  group  (phylum)  of  bacteria.  They  include  a wide  variety  of 
pathogens,  such  as  Escherichia,  Salmonella,  Vibrio,  Helicobacter,  and  many  other  notable 
genera.  Others  are  free-living,  and  include  many  of  the  bacteria  responsible  for  nitrogen 
fixation.  The  group  is  defined  primarily  in  terms  of  ribosomal  RNA  (rRNA)  sequences,  and  is 
named  for  the  Greek  god  Proteus  (also  the  name  of  a bacterial  genus  within  the 
Proteobacteria),  who  could  change  his  shape,  because  of  the  great  diversity  of  forms  found 
in  this  group. 

All  Proteobacteria  are  Gram-negative,  with  an  outer  membrane  mainly  composed  of 
lipopolysaccharides.  Many  move  about  using  flagella,  but  some  are  non-motile  or  rely  on 
bacterial  gliding.  The  last  include  the  myxobacteria,  a unique  group  of  bacteria  that  can 
aggregate  to  form  multicellular  fruiting  bodies.  There  is  also  a wide  variety  in  the  types  of 
metabolism.  Most  members  are  facultatively  or  obligately  anaerobic  and  heterotrophic,  but 
there  are  numerous  exceptions.  A variety  of  genera,  which  are  not  closely  related  to  each 
other,  convert  energy  from  light  through  photosynthesis.  These  are  called  purple  bacteria, 
referring  to  their  mostly  reddish  pigmentation. "

205  "...  patent  licenses  for  the  biological  engineering  process  ..." 

"A  biological  patent  is  a patent  relating  to  an  invention  or  discovery  in  biology. 

The  1970's  marked  the  first  time  when  scientists  patented  methods  on  their  biotechnological 
inventions  with  recombinant  DNA.  It  wasn’t  until  1980  that  patents  for  whole-scale  living 
organisms  was  permitted.  In  Diamond  v.  Chakrabarty,  the  Supreme  Court  overturned  a 
previous  precedent  allowing  the  patentability  of  living  matter.  The  subject  for  this 
particular  case  was  a bacterium  that  was  specifically  modified  to  help  clean-up  and  degrade 
oil  spills. 


293 


Since  legal  changes  have  occurred  starting  in  1980,  there  has  been  a general  trend  of 
patenting  inventions  on  living  matter.  More  knowledge  and  data  has  become  available  in 
recent  years  that  have  never  before  been  available.  However,  for  us  to  get  to  the  point 
where  it  is  making  a significant  difference  in  peoples’  lives,  a tidy  sum  of  money  needs  to  be 
invested.  Biotech  and  pharmaceutical  companies  in  recent  years  have  found  out  how 
lucrative  biological  research  can  be.  These  firms  foster  many  research  opportunities 
by  funding  made  possible  only  through  the  private  sector. 

Patents  have  provided  an  impetus  for  research  to  be  pursued  in  that  the  end  goal  of  money 
can  be  envisioned  by  companies  with  the  funding  cash.  Especially  during  the  genomic  era, 
more  patents  were  issued.  Companies  and  organizations  like  the  University  of  California 
were  patenting  whole  genomes. 

In  1998,  the  U.S.  Patent  and  Trademark  Office  (PTO)  issued  a broad  patent  claiming 
primate  (including  human)  embryonic  stem  cells,  entitled  "Primate  Embryonic  Stem 
Cells"  (Patent  5,843,780).  On  13  March  2001.  a second  patent  (6,200,806)  was  issued  with 
the  same  title  but  focused  on  human  embryonic  stem  cells. 

Recently,  there  has  been  a slowdown  and  backlash  against  patenting  biological 
material  worldwide. 

Some  feel  that  the  increase  in  patenting  biological  information  leads  to  inefficiency  in 
research.  Many  scientists  are  coming  up  against  patent  thickets,  which  are  masses  of 
information  that  they  must  obtain  permission  (and  often  pay  large  fees  to  utilize) 
before  they  can  ever  work  with  the  information. 

Michael  Heller  and  Rebecca  Eisenberg  (2005)  explain  that  there  is  a recent  trend  of 
patenting  more  and  more  steps  along  the  research  path.  This  creates  a "tragedy  of  the 
anticommons, " whereby  "each  upstream  patent  allows  its  owner  to  set  up  another  tollbooth 
on  the  road  to  product  development,  adding  to  the  cost  and  slowing  the  pace  of  downstream 
. . . innovation".  A report  shows  that  notwithstanding  escalating  funding,  in  the  past  half- 
decade biomedical  innovation  has  slowed  markedly.  The  number  of  drugs  approved  by  the 
Food  and  Drug  Administration  has  fallen  below  previous  eras.  The  technologies  approved,  it 
continues,  are  less  influential  than  previous  innovations  approved.  The  current  trend  of 
patenting  what  previously  were  thought  of  as  basic  science  insights  have  raised  the  financial 
bar  for  other  scientists  wanting  to  use  such  insight.  The  overall  trend  of  more  patents  may  be 
slowing  innovation. 

However,  others  point  out  that  patents  are  necessary  for  research.  Without  them,  scientists 
would  keep  secret  all  discoveries  for  fear  of  colleagues  and  others  stealing  their 
ideas.  There  would  also  be  little  incentive  for  large-scale  investments  from  the  private 
sector.

206  "..."cyclical  stimulus-response  generators". 

"Fixed  Action  Pattern  (FAP)  is  an  instinctive  behavioral  sequence  that  is  indivisible 
and  runs  to  completion.  Fixed  action  patterns  are  invariant  and  are  produced  by  a 
neural  network  known  as  the  innate  releasing  mechanism  in  response  to  an  external 
sensory  stimulus  known  as  a sign  stimulus  or  releaser. 


294 


A mating  dance  may  be  used  as  an  example.  Many  species  of  birds  engage  in  a specific 
series  of  elaborate  movements,  usually  by  a brightly  colored  male.  How  well  they  perform 
the  "dance"  is  then  used  by  females  of  the  species  to  judge  their  fitness  as  a potential  mate. 

The  key  stimulus  is  typically  the  presence  of  the  female. 

Although  fixed  action  patterns  are  most  common  in  animals  with  simpler  cognitive 
capabilities,  humans  also  demonstrate  fixed  action  patterns.  For  example,  infants  grasp 
strongly  with  their  hands  as  a response  to  tactile  stimulus. "

207  "...chemical-electrical  trigger"  mechanism..." 

"A  taxis  (plural  taxes)  is  an  innate  behavioural  response  by  an  organism  to  a stimulus.  A 
taxis  differs  from  a tropism  (turning  response,  often  growth  towards  or  away  from  a stimulus) 
in  that  the  organism  has  motility  and  demonstrates  guided  movement  towards  or  away  from 
the  stimulus.  It  also  differs  from  a kinesis,  a non-directional  change  in  activity  in  response  to 
a stimulus  that  results  in  the  illusion  of  directed  motion  due  to  different  rates  of  activity 
depending  on  stimulus  intensity. 

For  example,  flagellate  protozoans  of  the  genus  Euglena  move  towards  a light  source.  Here 
the  directional  stimulus  is  light,  and  the  orientation  movement  is  towards  the  light.  This 
reaction  or  behaviour  is  a positive  one  to  light  and  specifically  termed  "positive  phototaxis", 
since  phototaxis  is  a response  to  a light  stimulus,  and  the  organism  is  moving  towards  the 
stimulus.  If  the  organism  moves  away  from  the  stimulus,  then  the  taxis  is  negative.  Many 
types  of  taxis  have  been  identified  and  named  using  prefices  to  specify  the  stimulus  that 
elicits  the  response.  These  include  anemotaxis  (stimulation  by  wind),  barotaxis  (pressure), 
chemotaxis  (chemicals),  gaivanotaxis  (electrical  current),  geotaxis  (gravity),  hydrotaxis 
(moisture),  phototaxis  (light),  rheotaxis  (fluid  flow),  thermotaxis  (temperature  changes) 
and  thigmotaxis  (physical  contact). 

Chemotaxis  is  a migratory  response  elicited  by  chemicals.  Unicellular  (e.g.  protozoa)  or 
multicellular  (e.g.  worms)  organisms  are  targets  of  the  substances.  A concentration  gradient 
of  chemicals  developed  in  a fluid  phase  guides  the  vectorial  movement  of  responder  cells  or 
organisms. 

Electrotaxis  is  directional  movement  of  motile  cells  in  response  to  a electric  field.  It 

has  been  suggested  that  by  detecting  and  orientating  themselves  toward  the  electric  fields. 
This  notion  is  based  on  1)  the  existence  of  measurable  electric  fields  that  naturally  occur 
during  wound  healing,  development  and  regeneration;  and  2)  cells  in  cultures  respond  to 
applied  electric  fields  by  directional  cell. "

208  "...  reproductive  chemical-electrical  impulses  stimulated  by  testosterone  or 
estrogen." 

"Testosterone  is  a steroid  hormone  from  the  androgen  group.  In  mammals,  testosterone  is 
primarily  secreted  in  the  testes  of  males  and  the  ovaries  of  females,  although  small  amounts 
are  also  secreted  by  the  adrenal  glands.  It  is  the  principal  male  sex  hormone  and  an 
anabolic  steroid. 


295 


The  period  of  the  early  1930's  to  the  1950’s  has  been  called  “The  Golden  Age  of  Steroid 
Chemistry’’,  and  work  during  this  period  progressed  quickly.  Research  in  this  golden  age 
proved  that  this  newly  synthesized  compound  — testosterone  — or  rather  family  of 
compounds  (for  many  derivatives  were  developed  in  the  1940’s,  5 O's  and  60’s),  was  a potent 
multiplier  of  muscle,  strength,  and  wellbeing 

In  both  men  and  women,  testosterone  plays  a key  role  in  health  and  well-being  as  well 
as  in  sexual  functioning. 

The  human  hormone  testosterone  is  produced  in  greater  amounts  by  males,  and  less  by 
females.  The  human  hormone  estrogen  is  produced  in  greater  amounts  by  females, 
and  less  by  males.  On  average,  an  adult  human  male  body  produces  about  forty  to 
sixty  times  more  testosterone  than  an  adult  female  body. 

Testosterone  causes  the  appearance  of  masculine  traits  (i.e  deepening  voice,  pubic  and 
facial  hairs,  muscular  build,  etc.)  Like  men,  women  rely  on  testosterone  to  maintain  libido, 
bone  density  and  muscle  mass  throughout  their  lives. "

"The  term  Sexual  addiction  is  used  to  describe  the  behavior  of  a person  who  has  an 
unusually  intense  sex  drive  or  obsession  with  sex.  Sexual  addiction,  also  called  sexual 
compulsion  is  a form  of  psychological  addiction. 

The  behavior  of  sex  addicts  is  comparable  to  behavior  of  alcoholics  and  addicts,  where  sex 
functions  like  a drug.  A common  definition  of  alcoholism  is  that  a person  has  a pathological 
relationship  with  this  mood  altering  drug.  It  provides  a quick  mood  change,  works  every  time 
and  the  user  loses  control  over  their  compulsion.  Like  alcoholics,  sex  addicts'  lives  rotate 
around  the  constant  desire  for  their  "drug"  of  choice. "

211  "...  a heavy  gravity,  nitrogen/oxygen  atmosphere  planet..." 

"The  Earth's  atmosphere  is  a layer  of  gases  surrounding  the  planet  Earth  and  retained  by 
the  Earth's  gravity.  It  contains  roughly  (by  molar  content/volume)  78.08%  nitrogen.  20.95% 
oxygen,  0.93%  argon,  0.038%  carbon  dioxide,  trace  amounts  of  other  gases,  and  a variable 
amount  (average  around  1%)  of  water  vapor.  This  mixture  of  gases  is  commonly  known  as 
air.  The  atmosphere  protects  life  on  Earth  by  absorbing  ultraviolet  solar  radiation  and 
reducing  temperature  extremes  between  day  and  night. 

There  is  no  definite  boundary  between  the  atmosphere  and  outer  space.  It  slowly  becomes 
thinner  and  fades  into  space.  Three  quarters  of  the  atmosphere's  mass  is  within  11  km  of  the 
planetary  surface.  In  the  United  States,  people  who  travel  above  an  altitude  of  80.5  km  (50 
statute  miles)  are  designated  astronauts.  An  altitude  of  120  km  (~75  miles  or  400,000  ft) 
marks  the  boundary  where  atmospheric  effects  become  noticeable  during  re-entry.  The 
Karman  line,  at  100  km  (62  miles  or  328,000  ft),  is  also  frequently  regarded  as  the  boundary 
between  atmosphere  and  outer  space. 

The  atmosphere  of  Mars  is  relatively  thin,  and  the  atmospheric  pressure  on  the  surface 
varies  from  around  30  Pa  (0.03  kPa)  on  Olympus  Mons's  peak  to  over  1155  Pa  (1.155  kPa) 
in  the  depths  of  Hellas  Planitia,  with  a mean  surface  level  pressure  of  600  Pa  (0.6  kPa), 
compared  to  Earth's  101.3  kPa.  However,  the  scale  height  of  the  atmosphere  is  about 
1 1 km,  somewhat  higher  than  Earth's  6 km.  The  atmosphere  on  Mars  consists  of  95% 
carbon  dioxide,  3%  nitrogen,  1.6%  argon,  and  contains  traces  of  oxygen,  water,  and 
methane.  The  atmosphere  is  quite  dusty,  giving  the  Martian  sky  a tawny  color  when  seen 
from  the  surface;  data  from  the  Mars  Exploration  Rovers  indicates  the  suspended  dust 
particles  are  roughly  1.5  micrometres  across. 

The  atmosphere  of  Venus,  the  second  planet  from  the  Sun,  is  much  denser  and  hotter  than 
that  of  Earth.  The  surface  temperature  and  pressure  on  Venus  are  740  K (467°C)  and 
93  bar,  respectively.  The  Venusian  atmosphere  supports  thick  persistent  clouds  made  of 
sulfuric  acid,  which  make  optical  observations  of  the  surface  impossible.  The  information 
about  surface  features  on  Venus  has  been  obtained  exclusively  by  radar  imaging  conducted 
from  the  ground  and  Venera  15-16  and  by  Magellan  space  probes.  The  main  atmosphereric 
gases  on  Venus  are  carbon  dioxide  and  nitrogen,  which  make  up  96.5%  and  3.5%  of  all 
molecules.  Other  chemical  compounds  are  present  only  in  trace  amounts. 

The  atmosphere  of  Venus  is  in  state  of  a vigorous  circulation  and  super-rotation.  The  whole 
atmosphere  circles  the  planet  in  just  four  days  (super-rotation),  which  is  a short  time 
compared  with  the  sideral  rotational  period  of  243  days.  The  winds  supporting  super-rotation 
blow  as  fast  as  100  m/s.  Near  the  poles  of  Venus  anticyclonic  structures  called  polar 
vortexes  are  located.  In  them  the  air  moves  downward.  Each  vortex  is  double  eyed  and 
shows  a characteristic  S-shaped  pattern  of  clouds. 


297 


Only  the  ionosphere  and  thin  induced  magnetosphere  separate  venusian  atmosphere  from 
the  space.  They  shield  the  atmosphere  from  the  solar  wind,  which  usually  does  not 
penetrate  deep  into  it.  However  they  are  incapable  of  preventing  the  loss  of  water,  which  is 
continuously  blown  away  by  the  solar  wind  through  the  induced  magnetotail. 

Despite  the  harsh  conditions  on  the  surface,  at  about  a 50  km  to  65  km  level  above  the 
surface  of  the  planet  the  atmospheric  pressure  and  temperature  is  nearly  the  same  as  that  of 
the  Earth,  making  its  upper  atmosphere  the  most  Earth-like  area  in  the  Solar  System,  even 
more  so  than  the  surface  of  Mars.  Due  to  the  similarity  in  pressure,  temperature  and  the  fact 
that  breathable  air  (21%  oxygen,  78%  nitrogen)  is  a lifting  gas  on  Venus  in  the  same  way 
that  helium  is  a lifting  gas  on  Earth. "

212  "...Johannes  Gutenberg..." 

"Johannes  Gensfleisch  zur  Laden  zum  Gutenberg  (c.  1400  - February  3,  1468)  was  a 
German  goldsmith  and  printer,  who  is  credited  with  inventing  movable  type  printing  in 
Europe  (c.  1439)  and  mechanical  printing  globally.  His  major  work,  the  Gutenberg  Bible,  also 
known  as  the  42-line  bible,  has  been  acclaimed  for  its  high  aesthetic  and  technical  quality. 

Although  Gutenberg  was  financially  unsuccessful  in  his  lifetime,  the  printing  technologies 
spread  quickly,  and  news  and  books  began  to  travel  across  Europe  much  faster  than  before. 
It  fed  the  growing  Renaissance,  and  since  it  greatly  facilitated  scientific  publishing,  it  was  a 
major  catalyst  for  the  later  scientific  revolution.  Gutenberg  is  thought  to  have  said:  "Give  me 
26  soldiers  of  lead  and  I shall  conquer  the  world. " 

Printing  was  also  a factor  in  the  Reformation:  Martin  Luther  found  that  the  95  Theses,  which 
he  posted  on  the  door  of  his  church,  were  printed  and  circulated  widely:  subsequently  he 
also  issued  broadsheets  outlining  his  anti-indulgences  position  (ironically,  indulgences  were 
one  of  the  first  items  Gutenberg  had  printed).  The  broadsheet  evolved  into  newspapers  and 
defined  the  mass  media  we  know  today. "

"George  Washington  Carver  (July  12,  1864  - January  5,  1943)  was  an  American  botanical 
researcher  and  agronomy  educator  who  worked  in  agricultural  extension  at  the  Tuskegee 
Institute  in  Tuskegee,  Alabama,  teaching  former  slaves  farming  techniques  for  self- 
sufficiency. 

George  Washington  Carver  reputedly  discovered  three  hundred  uses  for  peanuts  and 
hundreds  more  uses  for  soybeans,  pecans  and  sweet  potatoes.  Among  the  listed  items  that 
he  suggested  to  southern  farmers  to  help  them  economically  were  adhesives,  axle  grease, 
bleach,  buttermilk,  chili  sauce,  fuel  briquettes,  ink,  instant  coffee,  linoleum,  mayonnaise, 
meat  tenderizer,  metal  polish,  paper,  plastic,  pavement,  shaving  cream,  shoe  polish, 
synthetic  rubber,  talcum  powder  and  wood  stain.  Three  patents  (one  for  cosmetics,  and  two 
for  paints  and  stains)  were  issued  to  George  Washington  Carver  in  the  years  1925  to  1927: 
however,  they  were  not  commercially  successful  in  the  end.  Aside  from  these  patents  and 
some  recipes  for  food,  he  left  no  formulas  or  procedures  for  making  his  products.  He  did  not 
keep  a laboratory  notebook. 


298 


Carver's  most  important  accomplishments  were  in  areas  other  than  industrial  products  from 
peanuts,  including  agricultural  extension  education,  improvement  of  racial  relations, 
mentoring  children,  poetry,  painting,  religion,  advocacy  of  sustainable  agriculture  and 
appreciation  of  plants  and  nature.  He  sen/ed  as  a valuable  role  model  for  African-Americans 
and  an  example  of  the  importance  of  hard  work,  a positive  attitude  and  a good  education. 

His  humility,  humanitarianism,  good  nature,  frugality  and  lack  of  economic  materialism  have 
also  been  widely  admired. 

One  of  his  most  important  roles  was  that  the  fame  of  his  achievements  and  many  talents 
undermined  the  widespread  stereotype  of  the  time  that  the  black  race  was  intellectually 
inferior  to  the  white  race.  In  1941,  "Time"  magazine  dubbed  him  a "Black  Leonardo".

While  being  interviewed  by  Edward  R.  Murrow  on  "See  It  Now"  in  1955,  Salk  was  asked: 
"Who  owns  the  patent  on  this  vaccine?"  Surprised  by  the  question's  assumption  of  the 
requirement  of  a profit-motive  for  his  creation,  he  responded:  "There  is  no  patent.  Could  you 
patent  the  sun?"

216  "...  Renaissance..." 

The  Renaissance  (from  French  Renaissance,  meaning  "rebirth":  Italian:  Rinascimento,  from 
re-  "again"  and  nascere  "be  born")  was  a cultural  movement  that  spanned  roughly  the  14th 
through  the  1 7th  century,  beginning  in  Italy  in  the  late  Middle  Ages  and  later  spreading  to  the 
rest  of  western  Europe.  It  encompassed  a revival  of  learning  based  on  classical  sources,  the 
development  of  linear  perspective  in  painting,  and  educational  reform.  The  Renaissance  saw 
developments  in  most  intellectual  pursuits,  but  is  perhaps  best  known  for  its  artistic  aspect 
and  the  contributions  of  such  polymaths  as  Leonardo  da  Vinci  and  Michelangelo,  who  have 
inspired  the  term  "Renaissance  men". 

However,  it  was  not  until  the  nineteenth  century  that  the  French  word  Renaissance 
achieved  popularity  in  describing  the  cultural  movement  that  began  in  the  late  13th 
century"  (1200  AD - 1300  AD). 

The  term  was  first  used  retrospectively  by  the  Italian  artist  and  critic  Giorgio  Vasari  (1511- 
1574)  in  his  book  The  Lives  of  the  Artists  (published  1550).  In  the  book  Vasari  was 
attempting  to  define  what  he  described  as  a break  with  the  barbarities  of  gothic  art:  the  arts 


299 


had  fallen  into  decay  with  the  collapse  of  the  Roman  Empire  and  only  the  Tuscan  artists, 

beginning  with  Cimabue  (1240-1301)  and  Giotto  (1267-1337)  began  to  reverse  this 
decline  in  the  arts.  According  to  Vasari,  antique  art  was  central  to  the  rebirth  of  Italian  art. 

During  the  12th  century  in  Europe,  there  was  a radical  change  in  the  rate  of  new  inventions 
and  innovations  in  the  ways  of  managing  traditional  means  of  production  and  economic 
growth.  In  less  than  a century,  there  were  more  inventions  developed  and  applied  usefully 
than  in  the  previous  thousand  years  of  human  history  all  over  the  globe.  The  period  saw 
major  technological  advances,  including  the  adoption  or  invention  of  printing,  gunpowder, 
spectacles,  a better  clock,  the  astrolabe,  and  greatly  improved  ships.  The  latter  two 
advances  made  possible  the  dawn  of  the  Age  of  Exploration. 

Alfred  Crosby  described  some  of  this  technological  revolution  in  The  Measure  of 
Reality : Quantification  in  Western  Europe,  1250-1600  and  other  major  historians  of 
technology  have  also  noted  it.

217  "...  explosions  that  were  tested  and  used  in  the  past  two  years  on  Earth  have  the 
potential  to  destroy  all  of  life..." 

"A  doomsday  device  is  a hypothetical  construction  — usually  a weapon  — which  could 
destroy  all  life  on  the  Earth,  or  destroy  the  Earth  itself  (bringing  "doomsday",  a term  used  for 
the  end  of  planet  Earth). 

Doomsday  devices  have  been  present  in  literature  and  art  especially  in  the  20th  century, 
when  advances  in  science  and  technology  allowed  humans  to  imagine  a definite  and 
plausible  way  of  actively  destroying  the  world  or  all  life  on  it  (or  at  least  human  life).  Many 
classics  in  the  genre  of  science  fiction  take  up  the  theme  in  this  respect,  especially  The 
Purple  Cloud  (1901)  by  M.  P.  Shiel  in  which  the  accidental  release  of  a gas  kills  all  people  on 
the  planet. 

After  the  advent  of  nuclear  weapons,  especially  hydrogen  bombs,  they  have  usually  been 
the  dominant  components  of  fictional  doomsday  devices.  RAND  strategist  Herman  Kahn 
proposed  a "Doomsday  Machine"  in  the  1950s  which  would  consist  of  a computer  linked  to  a 
stockpile  of  hydrogen  bombs,  programmed  to  detonate  them  all  and  bathe  the  planet  in 
nuclear  fallout  at  the  signal  of  an  impending  nuclear  attack  from  another  nation.  Such  a 
scheme,  fictional  as  it  was,  epitomized  for  many  the  extremes  of  the  suicidal  logic  behind  the 
strategy  of  mutually  assured  destruction,  and  it  was  famously  parodied  in  the  Stanley 


300 


Kubrick  film  from  1964,  Dr.  Strangeiove  or:  How  I Learned  to  Stop  Worrying  and  Love  the 
Bomb.  It  is  also  a main  topic  of  the  movie  Beneath  the  Planet  of  the  Apes,  in  parallel  with  the 
species  extermination  theme.  Most  such  models  either  rely  on  the  fact  that  hydrogen  bombs 
can  be  made  arbitrarily  large  (see  Teller-Ulam  design)  or  that  they  can  be  "salted"  with 
materials  designed  to  create  long-lasting  and  hazardous  fallout  (e.g.;  a cobalt  bomb). 

There  are  many  unconfirmed,  anecdotal  reports  of  a Soviet  doomsday  device  involving  a 
200-megaton  hydrogen  bomb  sheathed  in  (or,  alternately,  "salted"  with)  a highly  radioactive 
material,  usually  said  to  be  cobalt,  of  sufficient  quantity  to  saturate  the  earth's  atmosphere 
with  deadly  fallout  should  the  device  be  detonated.  Details  regarding  this  device  vary 
according  to  the  source,  but  enough  similarities  in  the  dozens  of  different  stories  exist  to 
suggest  at  least  some  basis  in  truth.  According  to  various  sources,  at  some  point  between 
1967  and  1985,  the  device  was  designed  but  never  constructed:  built  but  never  activated; 
built  and  activated,  but  dismantled  at  the  end  of  the  cold  war;  or  designed  and  constructed  in 
such  a manner  that  it  can  never  be  de-activated,  and  is  still  in  existence  today.  Tales  of  its 
location  and  means  of  operation  are  equally  diverse:  it  was  in  an  underground  bunker  west 
of  Moscow,  Siberia,  the  Ukraine,  etc.;  it  was  installed  on  a special  rocket  booster  that  would 
deliver  it  to  the  upper  atmosphere  upon  activation;  it  was  actually  a series  of  bombs  placed 
at  intervals  along  the  western  border  of  the  USSR;  it  was  to  be  detonated  upon  command 
from  the  Kremlin,  automatically  by  a special  computer,  a seismic  trigger,  or  upon  detection  of 
incoming  missiles.  Many  more  versions  exist,  such  as  one  with  the  device  being 
permanently  installed  in  the  hold  of  an  unmarked  tramp  freighter,  steaming  randomly  from 
port  to  port  in  the  North  Sea. "

218  "...  paradigm..." 

"Historian  of  science  Thomas  Kuhn  gave  this  word  its  contemporary  meaning  when  he 
adopted  it  to  refer  to  the  set  of  practices  that  define  a scientific  discipline  during  a particular 
period  of  time.  Kuhn  himself  came  to  prefer  the  terms  exemplar  and  normal  science,  which 
have  more  exact  philosophical  meanings.  However,  in  his  book  The  Structure  of  Scientific 
Revolutions  Kuhn  defines  a scientific  paradigm  as: 

• what  is  to  be  observed  and  scrutinized 

• the  kind  of  questions  that  are  supposed  to  be  asked  and  probed  for  answers  in 
relation  to  this  subject 

• how  these  questions  are  to  be  structured 

• how  the  results  of  scientific  investigations  should  be  interpreted 

Alternatively,  the  Oxford  English  Dictionary  defines  paradigm  as  "a  pattern  or  model,  an 
exemplar. "

219  "...Nicola  Tesla..." 

"Nikola  Tesla  (10  July  1856  - 7 January  1943)  was  an  inventor,  physicist,  mechanical 
engineer,  and  electrical  engineer.  Born  in  Smiljan,  Croatian  Krajina,  Military  Frontier,  he  was 
an  ethnic  Serb  subject  of  the  Austrian  Empire  and  later  became  an  American  citizen.  Tesla 
is  best  known  for  his  many  revolutionary  contributions  to  the  discipline  of  electricity  and 
magnetism  in  the  late  19th  and  early  20th  century.  Tesla's  patents  and  theoretical  work 


301 


formed  the  basis  of  modern  alternating  current  electric  power  (AC)  systems,  including  the 
polyphase  power  distribution  systems  and  the  AC  motor,  with  which  he  helped  usher  in  the 
Second  Industrial  Revolution.  Contemporary  biographers  of  Tesla  have  deemed  him  "the 
man  who  invented  the  twentieth  century"  and  "the  patron  saint  of  modern  electricity. " 

After  his  demonstration  of  wireless  communication  (radio)  in  1893  and  after  being  the  victor 
in  the  "War  of  Currents",  he  was  widely  respected  as  America's  greatest  electrical  engineer. 
Much  of  his  early  work  pioneered  modern  electrical  engineering  and  many  of  his  discoveries 
were  of  groundbreaking  importance.  During  this  period,  in  the  United  States,  Tesla's  fame 
rivaled  that  of  any  other  inventor  or  scientist  in  history  or  popular  culture  but  due  to  his 
eccentric  personality  and  unbelievable  and  sometimes  bizarre  claims  about  possible 
scientific  and  technological  developments,  Tesla  was  ultimately  ostracized  and  regarded  as 
a "mad  scientist".  Never  having  put  much  focus  on  his  finances,  Tesla  died  impoverished  at 
the  age  of  86. 

Aside  from  his  work  on  electromagnetism  and  engineering,  Tesla  is  said  to  have 
contributed  in  varying  degrees  to  the  establishment  of  robotics,  remote  control,  radar 
and  computer  science,  and  to  the  expansion  of  ballistics,  nuclear  physics,  and 
theoretical  physics.  In  1943,  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  credited  him  as 
being  the  inventor  of  the  radio. " 

He  performed  several  experiments  prior  to  Roentgen's  discovery  (including  photographing 
the  bones  of  his  hand;  later,  he  sent  these  images  to  Roentgen)  but  didn't  make  his  findings 
widely  known;  much  of  his  research  was  lost  in  the  5th  Avenue  lab  fire  of  March  1895. 

A "world  system"  for  "the  transmission  of  electrical  energy  without  wires"  that 
depends  upon  the  electrical  conductivity  was  proposed  in  which  transmission  in  various 
natural  mediums  with  current  that  passes  between  the  two  point  are  used  to  power  devices. 
In  a practical  wireless  energy  transmission  system  using  this  principle,  a high-power 
ultraviolet  beam  might  be  used  to  form  a vertical  ionized  channel  in  the  air  directly  above  the 
transmitter-receiver  stations.  The  same  concept  is  used  in  virtual  lightning  rods,  the 
electrolaser  electroshock  weapon,  and  has  been  proposed  for  disabling  vehicles. 

Tesla  demonstrated  "the  transmission  of  electrical  energy  without  wires"  that  depends 
upon  electrical  conductivity  as  early  as  1891.  The  Tesla  effect  (named  in  honor  of  Tesla)  is 
the  archaic  term  for  an  application  of  this  type  of  electrical  conduction  (that  is,  the  movement 
of  energy  through  space  and  matter;  not  just  the  production  of  voltage  across  a conductor) 

Tesla  also  investigated  harvesting  energy  that  is  present  throughout  space.  He 

believed  that  it  was  just  merely  a question  of  time  when  men  will  succeed  in  attaching  their 
machinery  to  the  very  wheelwork  of  nature,  stating:  Ere  many  generations  pass,  our 
machinery  will  be  driven  by  a power  obtainable  at  any  point  of  the  universe.  — "Experiments 
With  Alternate  Currents  Of  High  Potential  And  High  Frequency"  (February  1892) 

Tesla  began  to  theorize  about  electricity  and  magnetism's  power  to  warp,  or  rather  change, 
space  and  time  and  the  procedure  by  which  man  could  forcibly  control  this  power.  Near  the 
end  of  his  life,  Tesla  was  fascinated  with  the  idea  of  light  as  both  a particle  and  a wave,  a 
fundamental  proposition  already  incorporated  into  quantum  physics.  This  field  of  inquiry  led 

to  the  idea  of  creating  a "wall  of  light"  by  manipulating  electromagnetic  waves  in  a 
certain  pattern.  This  mysterious  wall  of  light  would  enable  time,  space,  gravity  and  matter  to 
be  altered  at  will,  and  engendered  an  array  of  Tesla  proposals  that  seem  to  leap 
straight  out  of  science  fiction,  including  anti-gravity  airships,  teleportation,  and  time 
travel. 


302 


The  single  strangest  invention  Tesla  ever  proposed  was  probably  the  "thought 
photography"  machine.  He  reasoned  that  a thought  formed  in  the  mind  created  a 
corresponding  image  in  the  retina,  and  the  electrical  data  of  this  neural  transmission  could 
be  read  and  recorded  in  a machine.  The  stored  information  could  then  be  processed  through 
an  artificial  optic  nerve  and  played  back  as  visual  patterns  on  a viewscreen. 

Another  of  Tesla's  theorized  inventions  is  commonly  referred  to  as  Tesla 's  Flying  Machine, 
which  appears  to  resemble  an  ion-propelled  aircraft.  Testa  claimed  that  one  of  his  life 
goals  was  to  create  a flying  machine  that  would  run  without  the  use  of  an  airplane 
engine,  wings,  ailerons,  propellers,  or  an  onboard  fuel  source.  Initially,  Tesla  pondered 
about  the  idea  of  a flying  craft  that  would  fly  using  an  electric  motor  powered  by  grounded 
base  stations,  ,4s  time  progressed,  Tesla  suggested  that  perhaps  such  an  aircraft  could  be 
run  entirely  electro-mechanically.  The  theorized  appearance  would  typically  take  the 
form  of  a cigar  or  saucer. 

In  the  Colorado  Springs  lab,  Tesla  observed  unusual  signals  that  he  later  thought  may 
have  been  evidence  of  extraterrestrial  radio  communications  coming  from  Venus  or 
Mars.  He  noticed  repetitive  signals  from  his  receiver  which  were  substantially  different  from 
the  signals  he  had  noted  from  storms  and  earth  noise.  Specifically,  he  later  recalled  that  the 
signals  appeared  in  groups  of  one,  two,  three,  and  four  clicks  together.  Tesla  had  mentioned 
before  this  event  and  many  times  after  that  he  thought  his  inventions  could  be  used  to 
talk  with  other  planets.  There  have  even  been  claims  that  he  invented  a "Teslascope"  for 
just  such  a purpose. 

"I  hold  that  space  cannot  be  curved,  for  the  simple  reason  that  it  can  have  no 
properties.  It  might  as  well  be  said  that  God  has  properties.  He  has  not,  but  only 
attributes  and  these  are  of  our  own  making.  Of  properties  we  can  only  speak  when  dealing 
with  matter  filling  the  space.  To  say  that  in  the  presence  of  large  bodies  space  becomes 
curved  is  equivalent  to  stating  that  something  can  act  upon  nothing.  I,  for  one.  refuse  to 
subscribe  to  such  a view. " — New  York  Herald  Tribune,  September  1 1,  1932 

Tesla  was  critical  of  Einstein's  relativity  work,  calling  it : 

"...[a]  magnificent  mathematical  garb  which  fascinates,  dazzles  and  makes  people  blind  to 
the  underlying  errors.  The  theory  is  like  a beggar  clothed  in  purple  whom  ignorant  people 
take  for  a king...,  its  exponents  are  brilliant  men  but  they  are  metaphysicists  rather  than 
scientists...  New  York  Times,  July  11,  1935,  p 23,  c.8 

"Nikola  Tesla  invented  the  20th  and  21st  Century.  A 'discoverer  of  new  principles, ' Tesla  was 
the  sole  inventor  of  the  alternating  poly-phase  current  generators  that  light  up  every  town  in 
the  world  today.  He  was  the  original  inventor  of  the  radio,  and  placed  his  ideas  in  print  and 
demonstrated  them  before  the  public  5 years  before  Marconi.  By  the  turn  of  the  century,  he 
had  discussed  the  feasibility  of  television;  he  created  an  atom  smasher  capable  of 
evaporating  rubies  and  diamonds;  he  built  wireless  neon  lamps  that  gave  off  more  light  than 
today's  conventional  bulbs  provide;  he  built  precursors  to  the  electron  microscope,  the  laser 
and  X-ray  photographs.  He  sent  his  shadowgraphs  to  the  discoverer  of  X-rays  in  1895  as 
soon  a Roentgen  published  his  famous  pictures.  Tesla  also  created  Kirlian-like 
photographs  75  years  before  they  became  famous.  All  of  this  took  place  before  1900!' 

Tesla,  and  not  Edison,  invented  the  poly-phase  alternators  that  power  our  modern 
civilization;  and  it  was  Tesla  who  was  eventually  awarded  Marconi's  wireless  patents  long 
after  Tesla  and  Marconi  were  both  dead.  In  all,  Tesla  contributed  over  1200  patents,  and  we 


303 


are  currently  using  only  some  200  of  them.  Near  everyone  remembers  the  Tesla  Coil,  but 
how  many  remember  that  he  demonstrated  wireless  transmission  of  electric  power  prior  to 
1900? 

When  offered  to  share  the  Nobel  Prize  with  Edison  for  their  electrical  inventions,  Tesla 
turned  the  prestigious  award  down!  Edison  never  received  the  Nobel  Prize. 

Tesla  is  quoted  as  saying: 

'In  the  dark  I had  the  sense  of  a bat,  and  could  detect  the  presence  of  an  object  at  a 
distance  of  12  feet  away  by  a peculiar  creepy  sensation  on  the  forehead...' 

'In  Budapest,  I could  hear  the  ticking  of  a watch  with  3 rooms  between  me  and  the 
timepiece.  A fly  alighting  on  a table  in  the  room  would  cause  a dull  thud  in  my  ear.  A 
carriage  passing  at  a distance  of  a few  miles  fairly  shook  my  whole  body.  The  whistle 
of  a locomotive  20  or  30  miles  away  made  the  bench  or  chair  on  which  I sat  vibrate  so 
strongly  that  the  pain  was  unbearable.  The  ground  under  my  feet  trembled 
continuously... ' 

Tesla  said  in  an  1 892  lecture  : 

'Ere  many  generations  pass,  our  machinery  will  be  driven  by  a power  obtainable  at 
any  point  of  the  universe.  Throughout  space  there  is  energy.  Is  this  energy  static  or 
kinetic?  If  static,  our  hopes  are  in  vain ; if  kinetic  - and  this  we  know  it  is,  for  certain  - then  it  is 
a mere  question  of  time  when  men  will  succeed  in  attaching  their  machinery  to  the  very 
wheelwork  of  nature. '

220  "...  will  be  able  to  "reverse  engineer"  the  technology..." 

"After  joining  the  Army  in  1942.  Philip  Corso  served  in  Army  Intelligence  in  Europe.  In  1945. 
Corso  arranged  for  the  safe  passage  of  1 0. 000  Jewish  WWII  refugees  out  of  Rome  to 
Palestine.  During  the  Korean  War  (1950-1953),  Corso  performed  Intelligence  duties  under 
General  Douglas  MacArthur  as  Chief  of  the  Special  Projects  branch  of  the  Intelligence 
Division,  Far  East  Command.  One  of  his  primary  duties  was  to  keep  track  of  enemy  prisoner 
of  war  (POW)  camps  in  North  Korea.  Corso  was  in  charge  of  investigating  the  estimated 
number  of  U.S.  and  other  United  Nations  POWs  held  at  each  camp  and  their  treatment.  At 
later  held  congressional  hearings  of  the  Senate  Select  Committee  on  POW/MIA  Affairs, 

Philip  Corso  would  provide  testimony  that  many  hundreds  of  American  POW's  were 
abandoned  at  these  camps. 

Corso  was  on  the  staff  of  President  Eisenhower's  National  Security  Council  for  four  years 
(1953-1957).  In  1961,  he  became  Chief  of  the  Pentagon's  Foreign  Technology  desk  in  Army 
Research  and  Development,  working  under  Lt.  Gen.  Arthur  Trudeau.  When  he  left  military 
intelligence  in  1963,  Corso  became  a key  aide  to  Senator  Strom  Thurmond.  In  1964,  Corso 
was  assigned  to  Warren  Commission  member  Senator  Richard  Russell  Jr.  as  an  investigator 
into  the  assassination  of  John  F.  Kennedy. 

Philip  Corso  relates  in  his  book  The  Day  After  Roswell  (co-author  William  J.  Birnes)  how  he 
stewarded  extraterrestrial  artifacts  recovered  from  a crash  at  Roswell,  New  Mexico  in  1947. 


304 


According  to  Corso,  the  reverse  engineering  of  these  artifacts  indirectly  led  to  the 
development  of  accelerated  particle  beam  devices,  fiber  optics,  lasers,  integrated 
circuit  chips  and  Kevlar  material. 

In  1947,  according  to  Corso,  a covert  government  group  (see  Majestic  12)  was  assembled 
under  the  leadership  of  the  first  Director  of  Central  Intelligence  , Adm.  Roscoe  H. 
Hillenkoetter.  Among  its  tasks  was  to  collect  all  information  on  extraterrestrial  spacecraft. 

The  US  administration  simultaneously  discounted  the  existence  of  flying  saucers  in  the  eyes 
of  the  public,  Corso  says.  Corso  further  relates  that  the  Strategic  Defense  Initiative  (SDI),  or 
Star  Wars,  was  meant  to  achieve  the  capability  of  killing  the  electronic  guidance  systems  of 
incoming  enemy  warheads  and  disabling  enemy  spacecraft,  including  those  of 
extraterrestrial  origin. "

"Traditionally,  the  term  Neural  Networks  had  been  used  to  refer  to  a network  or  circuit  of 
biological  neurons.  The  modern  usage  of  the  term  often  refers  to  artificial  neural  networks, 
which  are  composed  of  artificial  neurons  or  nodes.  Thus  the  term  'Neural  Network'  has  two 
distinct  usages: 

1)  Biological  neural  networks  are  made  up  of  real  biological  neurons  that  are 
connected  or  functionally-related  in  the  peripheral  nervous  system  or  the  central  nervous 
system.  In  the  field  of  neuroscience,  they  are  often  identified  as  groups  of  neurons  that 
perform  a specific  physiological  function  in  laboratory  analysis. 

2)  Artificial  neural  networks  are  made  up  of  interconnecting  artificial  neurons 
(programming  constructs  that  mimic  the  properties  of  biological  neurons).  Artificial  neural 
networks  may  either  be  used  to  gain  an  understanding  of  biological  neural  networks,  or

The  transistor  was  invented  in  1947.  It  was  considered  a revolution.  Small,  fast,  reliable 
and  effective,  it  quickly  replaced  the  vacuum  tube.  Freed  from  the  limitations  of  the  vacuum 
tube,  engineers  finally  could  begin  to  realize  the  electrical  constructions  of  their  dreams. 

It  seems  that  the  integrated  circuit  was  destined  to  be  invented.  Two  separate  inventors, 
unaware  of  each  other's  activities,  invented  almost  identical  integrated  circuits  or  ICs  at 
nearly  the  same  time. 

Jack  Kilby,  an  engineer  with  a background  in  ceramic-based  silk  screen  circuit  boards  and 
transistor-based  hearing  aids,  started  working  for  T exas  Instruments  in  1 958.  A year  earlier, 
research  engineer  Robert  Noyce  had  co-founded  the  Fairchild  Semiconductor  Corporation. 
From  1958  to  1959,  both  electrical  engineers  were  working  on  an  answer  to  the  same 
dilemma:  how  to  make  more  of  less.

Although  the  first  integrated  circuit  was  pretty  crude  and  had  some  problems,  the  idea  was 
groundbreaking.  By  making  all  the  parts  out  of  the  same  block  of  material  and  adding  the 
metal  needed  to  connect  them  as  a layer  on  top  of  it,  there  was  no  more  need  for  individual 
discrete  components.  No  more  wires  and  components  had  to  be  assembled  manually.  The 
circuits  could  be  made  smaller  and  the  manufacturing  process  could  be  automated. 

Jack  Kilby  (Texas  Instruments)  is  probably  most  famous  for  his  invention  of  the  integrated 
circuit,  for  which  he  received  the  Nobel  Prize  in  Physics  in  the  year  2000.  After  his  success 
with  the  integrated  circuit  Kilby  stayed  with  Texas  Instruments  and,  among  other  things,  he 
led  the  team  that  invented  the  hand-held  calculator. 

Jack  Kilby  now  holds  patents  on  over  sixty  inventions  and  is  also  well  known  as  the  inventor 
of  the  portable  calculator  (1967).  In  1970  he  was  awarded  the  National  Medal  of  Science. 
Robert  Noyce,  with  sixteen  patents  to  his  name,  founded  Intel,  the  company  responsible  for 
the  invention  of  the  microprocessor,  in  1 968.  But  for  both  men  the  invention  of  the  integrated 
circuit  stands  historically  as  one  of  the  most  important  innovations  of  mankind.  Almost  all 
modern  products  use  chip  technology.

223  "...wiring  is  used  for  light,  sub-light  and  ultra-light  spectrum  detection  and  vision." 

An  optical  fiber  is  a glass  or  plastic  fiber  designed  to  guide  light  along  its  length.  Fiber 
optics  is  the  overlap  of  applied  science  and  engineering  concerned  with  the  design  and 
application  of  optical  fibers.  Optical  fibers  are  widely  used  in  fiber-optic  communication, 
which  permits  transmission  over  longer  distances  and  at  higher  data  rates  than  other  forms 
of  communications.  Fibers  are  used  instead  of  metal  wires  because  signals  travel  along 
them  with  less  loss,  and  they  are  immune  to  electromagnetic  interference.  Optical  fibers  are 
also  used  to  form  sensors,  and  in  a variety  of  other  applications. 

In  1952,  physicist  Narinder  Singh  Kapany  conducted  experiments  that  led  to  the  invention  of 
optical  fiber,  based  on  Tyndall's  earlier  studies;  modern  optical  fibers,  where  the  glass  fiber 
is  coated  with  a transparent  cladding  to  offer  a more  suitable  refractive  index,  appeared  later 
in  the  decade. 

In  1991,  the  emerging  field  of  photonic  crystals  led  to  the  development  of  photonic  crystal 
fiber  (Science  (2003),  vol  299,  page  358),  which  guides  light  by  means  of  diffraction  from  a 
periodic  structure,  rather  than  total  internal  reflection.  The  first  photonic  crystal  fibers 
became  commercially  available  in  1996.  Photonic  crystal  fibers  can  be  designed  to  carry 
higher  power  than  conventional  fiber,  and  their  wavelength  dependent  properties  can  be 
manipulated  to  improve  their  performance  in  certain  applications. "

224  "...  fabrics  of  the  interior  of  the  craft..." 

"Technical  textiles  is  the  term  given  to  textile  products  manufactured  for  non  aesthetic 
purposes,  where  function  is  the  primary  criterion.  This  is  a large  and  growing  sector  and 
supports  a vast  array  of  other  industries. 

It  has  been  heard  that  soon  textiles  will  be  merged  with  electronics  in  all  areas.  In  future 
wearable  computers  would  be  launched,  these  will  not  be  like  advance  wrist  watches  etc, 


306 


they  will  contain  1C  s in  fabric  to  develop  fabric  keyboards  and  other  wearable  computer 
devices.  These  types  of  products  are  known  as  Interactive  electronic  textiles  (IET). 
Research  to  support  IET  development  is  being  conducted  in  many  universities.  Growing 
consumer  interest  in  mobile,  electronic  devises  will  initiate  the  demand  for  IET  products. 

Technical  textiles  include  textile  structures  for  autmotive  applications,  medical  textiles 
(e.g.  implants),  geotextiles  (reinforcement  of  embankments),  agrotextiles  (textiles  for  crop 
protection),  protective  clothing  (e.g.  against  heat  and  radiation  for  fire  figther  clothing, 
against  molten  metals  for  welders,  stab  protection  and  bulletproof  vests),  spacesuits 
(astronauts)." 

Biotextiles  are  structures  composed  of  textile  fibers  designed  for  use  in  specific  biological 
environments  where  their  performance  depends  on  biocompatibility  and  biostability  with  cells 
and  biological  fluids.  Biotextiles  include  implantible  devices  such  as  surgical  sutures,  hernia 
repair  fabrics,  arterial  grafts,  artificial  skin  and  parts  of  artificial  hearts.  They  were  first 
created  30  years  ago  (1978)  by  Dr.  Martin  W.  King,  a professor  in  North  Carolina  State 
University’s  College  of  Textiles. 

Medical  textiles  are  a broader  group  which  also  includes  bandages,  wound  dressings, 
hospital  linen,  preventive  clothing  etc.  Antiseptic  biotextiles  are  textiles  used  in  fighting 
against  cutaneous  bacterial  proliferation.  Zeolite  and  triclosan  are  at  the  present  time  the 
most  used  molecules.  This  original  property  allows  to  inhibits  the  development  of  odors  or 
bacterial  proliferation  in  the  diabetic  foot. "

225  ”...  mechanisms  for  creating,  amplifying  and  channeling  light  particles  or  waves 
as  a form  of  energy." 

In  1947,  Willis  E.  Lamb  and  R.  C.  Retherford  found  apparent  stimulated  emission  in 
hydrogen  spectra  and  made  the  first  demonstration  of  stimulated  emission.  In  1 950,  Alfred 
Kastler  (Nobel  Prize  for  Physics  1966)  proposed  the  method  of  optical  pumping. 

The  work  of  Schawlow  and  Townes,  however,  can  be  traced  back  to  the  1940sand  early 
50s*  and  their  interest  in  the  field  of  microwave  spectroscopy,  which  had  emerged  as  a 
powerful  tool  for  puzzling  out  the  characteristics  of  a wide  variety  of  molecules. 

The  invention  of  the  laser,  which  stands  for  light  amplification  by  stimulated  emission  of 
radiation,  can  be  dated  to  1958  with  the  publication  of  the  scientific  paper,  Infrared  and 
Optical  Masers,  by  Arthur  L.  Schawlow,  then  a Bell  Labs  researcher,  and  Charles  H. 

Townes,  a consultant  to  Bell  Labs.  That  paper,  published  in  Physical  Review,  the  journal  of 
the  American  Physical  Society,  launched  a new  scientific  field  and  opened  the  door  to  a 
multibillion-dollar  industry. 

Many  different  materials  can  be  used  as  lasers.  Some,  like  the  ruby  laser,  emit  short  pulses 
of  laser  light.  Others,  like  helium-neon  gas  lasers  or  liquid  dye  lasers  emit  a continuous 
beam  of  light. 

'NOTE:  According  to  the  book,  "The  Day  After  Roswell",  reports  about  microwave  and  light 
projecting  components  from  the  Roswell  "flying  disc",  technology  were  "leaked"  to  Bell 
Laboratories  through  the  Pentagon.

226  " There  are  as  many  universes  as  there  are  IS-BEs  to  imagine  and  perceive  them, 
existing  concurrently  within  it's  own  continuum." 

The  multiverse  (or  meta-universe)  is  the  hypothetical  set  of  multiple  possible  universes 
(including  our  universe)  that  together  comprise  all  of  reality.  The  different  universes  within 
the  multiverse  are  sometimes  called  parallel  universes.  The  structure  of  the  multiverse,  the 
nature  of  each  universe  within  it  and  the  relationship  between  the  various  constituent 
universes,  depend  on  the  specific  multiverse  hypothesis  considered. 

Muitiverses  have  been  hypothesized  in  cosmology,  physics,  astronomy,  philosophy, 
theology,  and  fiction,  particularly  in  science  fiction  and  fantasy. 

The  specific  term  "multiverse, " which  was  coined  by  William  James,  was  popularized  by 
science  fiction  author  Michael  Moorcock.  In  these  contexts,  paraliei  universes  are  also 
called  "alternative  universes, " "quantum  universes, " "parallel  worlds, " "alternate  realities, " 
"alternative  timelines, " etc. 

A multiverse  of  a somewhat  different  kind  has  been  envisaged  within  the  1 1-dimensional 
extension  of  string  theory  known  as  M-theory.  In  M-theory  our  universe  and  others  are 
created  by  collisions  between  membranes  in  an  1 1 -dimensional  space.  This  is  unlike  the 
universes  in  the  "quantum  multiverse". 

The  string  landscape  theory  asserts  that  a different  universe  exists  for  each  of  the  very  large 
ensemble  of  solutions  generated  when  ten  dimensional  string  theory  is  reduced  to  the  four- 
dimensional low-energy  world  we  see. 

"A  common  feature  of  all  four  multiverse  levels  is  that  the  simplest  and  arguably  most 
elegant  theory  involves  parallel  universes  by  default.  To  deny  the  existence  of  those 
universes,  one  needs  to  complicate  the  theory  by  adding  experimentally  unsupported 
processes  and  ad  hoc  postulates:  finite  space,  wave  function  collapse  and  ontological 
asymmetry.  Our  judgment  therefore  comes  down  to  which  we  find  more  wasteful  and 
inelegant:  many  worlds  or  many  words. "

something  other  than  what  it  actually  is.

"...  just  before  the  Japanese  attack  on  Pearl  Harbor..." 

"The  attack  on  Pearl  Harbor  was  a surprise  attack  against  the  United  States'  naval  base  at 
Pearl  Harbor,  Hawaii  by  the  Japanese  navy,  at  0800  hours  on  the  morning  of  Sunday, 
December  7,  1941,  resulting  in  the  United  States  becoming  involved  in  World  War  II. 
Hostilities  between  the  U.S.  and  Japan  were  expected  by  many  observers,  including 
President  Roosevelt,  who  read  a decrypted  Japanese  message  (on  December  1st,  1941) 
and  told  his  assistant  Harry  Hopkins,  " This  means  war. " 

At  03:42  Hawaiian  Time,  hours  before  commanding  Admiral  Chuichi  Nagumo  began 
launching  strike  aircraft,  the  minesweeper  USS  Condor  spotted  a midget  submarine  outside 
the  harbor  entrance  and  alerted  destroyer  USS  Ward.  Ward  was  initially  unsuccessful  in 
locating  the  target.  Hours  later,  Ward  fired  America's  first  shots  in  the  Pacific  theater  of  WWII 
when  she  attacked  and  sank  a midget  submarine,  perhaps  the  same  one,  at  06:37. 

Closer  to  the  moment  of  the  attack,  the  attacking  planes  were  detected  and  tracked  as  they 
approached  by  an  Army  radar  installation  being  operated  that  morning  as  a mostly  unofficial 
training  exercise.  The  Opana  Point  radar  station,  operated  by  two  enlisted  men  (Pvts. 
Lockard  and  Elliot)  plotted  the  approaching  force,  and  their  relief  team  plotted  them  returning 
to  the  carriers.  The  initial  radar  returns  were  thought,  by  the  ill-trained  junior  officer  (Lt. 

Kermit  A.  Tyler)  in  charge  at  the  barely  operational  warning  information  center  at  Pearl 
Harbor,  to  be  a flight  of  American  bombers  expected  from  the  mainland.  In  fact  those 
bombers  did  arrive,  from  a somewhat  different  bearing  in  the  middle  of  the  attack. 

Additionally,  Japanese  submarines  were  sighted  and  attacked  (by  USS  Ward)  outside  the 
harbor  entrance  a few  hours  before  the  attack  commenced,  and  at  least  one  was  sunk — all 
before  the  planes  came  within  even  radar  range.  This  might  have  provided  enough  notice  to 
disperse  aircraft  and  fly  off  reconnaissance,  except,  yet  again,  reactions  of  the  duty  officers 
were  tardy.  It  has  been  argued  failure  to  follow  up  on  DF  bearings  saved  USS  Enterprise.  If 
she  had  been  correctly  directed,  she  might  have  run  into  the  six  carrier  Japanese  strike 
force. 

After  the  attack,  the  search  for  the  attack  force  was  concentrated  south  of  Pearl  Harbor, 
continuing  the  confusion  and  ineffectiveness  of  the  American  response. 

Another  issue  in  the  debate  is  the  fact  neither  Admiral  Kimmel  nor  General  Short  ever  faced 
court  martial.  It  is  alleged  this  was  to  avoid  disclosing  information  conspirators  would  not 
want  to  see  made  public.  When  asked,  Kimmel  replied,  "Will  historians  know  more  later? 
Kimmel's  reply  to  this  was: ' ...  I'll  tell  you  what  I believe.  I think  that  most  of  the  incriminating 
records  have  been  destroyed.  ...I  doubt  if  the  truth  will  ever  emerge. ' ..."  It  is  equally, 
probably  more,  likely  this  was  done  to  avoid  disclosing  the  fact  Japanese  codes  were  being 
read,  given  there  was  a war  on."

that  a formal  study  of  the  phenomenon  take  place;  Project  Sign  was  the  result.  When 
Hoyt  Vandenberg  retired  in  mid-1953,  Twining  was  selected  as  chief;  during  his  tenure, 
massive  retaliation  based  on  airpower  became  the  national  strategy.  In  1957,  President

231  "...  General  Jimmy  Doolittle, ..." 

"Soon  after  the  attack  on  Pearl  Harbor  and  the  US  entry  into  World  War  II,  Doolittle  was 
promoted  to  Lieutenant  Colonel  on  January  2,  1942,  and  went  to  Headquarters  Army  Air 
Force  to  plan  the  first  aerial  raid  on  the  Japanese  homeland.  He  volunteered  and  received 
Gen.  H.H.  Arnold's  approval  to  lead  the  attack  of  16  B-25  medium  bombers  from  the  aircraft 
carrier  USS  Hornet,  with  targets  in  Tokyo,  Kobe,  Osaka,  and  Nagoya.  It  was  the  first  and 
only  combat  mission  of  his  military  career. 

Doolittle  received  the  Medal  of  Honor,  presented  by  President  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt  at  the 
White  House,  for  planning  and  leading  the  successful  operation.  The  Doolittle  Raid  is  viewed 
by  historians  as  a major  public-relations  victory  for  the  United  States.  Although  the  amount  of 
damage  done  to  Japanese  war  industry  was  minor,  the  raid  showed  the  Japanese  their 
homeland  was  not  invulnerable. 

Doolittle  was  portrayed  by  Spencer  Tracy  in  the  1944  film  Thirty  Seconds  Over  Tokyo  and  by 
Alec  Baldwin  in  the  2001  film  Pearl  Harbor,  in  which  the  Doolittle  raid  was  depicted. 

On  May  10,  1 946,  Doolittle  reverted  to  inactive  reserve  status  and  returned  to  Shell  Oil  as  a 
vice  president,  and  later  as  a director.  He  was  the  highest-ranking  reserve  officer  to  serve  in 
the  U.S.  military  in  World  War  II."

234  "...  Charles  Lindbergh  was  also  in  the  office..." 

"Charles  Lindbergh  gained  sudden  great  international  fame  as  the  first  pilot  to  fly  solo  across 
the  Atlantic  Ocean.  He  flew  from  Roosevelt  Airfield  in  Garden  City,  New  York,  to  Paris  (Le 
Bourget  Airport)  on  20  May  - 21  May  1927  in  33.5  hours.  His  plane  was  the  single-engine 
aircraft,  The  Spirit  of  St.  Louis. 

Lindbergh's  accomplishment  won  him  the  Orteig  Prize;  more  significant  than  the  prize 
money  was  the  acclaim  that  resulted  from  his  daring  flight.  A ticker-tape  parade  was  held  for 
him  down  5th  Avenue  in  New  York  City  on  13  June  1927. 

His  public  stature  following  this  flight  was  such  that  he  became  an  important  voice  on  behalf 
of  aviation  activities,  including  the  central  committee  of  the  National  Advisory  Committee  for 
Aeronautics  in  the  United  States.  The  massive  publicity  surrounding  him  and  his  flight 
boosted  the  aircraft  industry  and  made  a skeptical  public  take  air  travel  seriously.  Lindbergh 
is  recognized  in  aviation  for  demonstrating  and  charting  polar  air-routes,  high  altitude  flying 
techniques,  and  increasing  aircraft  flying  range  by  decreasing  fuel  consumption.  These 
innovations  are  the  basis  of  modern  intercontinental  air  travel. 

In  his  six  months  during  WW II  in  the  Pacific  in  1944,  Lindbergh  took  part  in  fighter  bomber 
raids  on  Japanese  positions,  flying  about  50  combat  missions  (as  a civilian).  The  U.S. 

Marine  and  Army  Air  Force  pilots  who  served  with  Lindbergh  admired  and  respected  him, 
praising  his  courage  and  defending  his  patriotism. 

After  World  War  II  he  lived  quietly  in  Connecticut  as  a consultant  both  to  the  chief  of  staff  of 
the  U.S.  Air  Force  and  to  Pan  American  World  Airways.  His  1953  book  The  Spirit  of  St. 

Louis,  recounting  his  non-stop  transatlantic  flight,  won  the  Pulitzer  Prize  in  1954. 

Dwight  D.  Eisenhower  restored  Lindbergh's  assignment  with  the  Army  Air  Corps  and  made 
him  a Brigadier  General  in  1954.  In  that  year,  he  served  on  the  Congressional  advisory 
panel  set  up  to  establish  the  site  of  the  United  States  Air  Force  Academy.  In  December 
1968,  he  visited  the  crew  of  Apollo  8 on  the  eve  of  the  first  manned  spaceflight  to  leave  earth 
orbit. 

From  the  1960s  on,  Lindbergh  became  an  advocate  for  the  conservation  of  the  natural 
world,  campaigning  to  protect  endangered  species  like  humpback  and  blue  whales,  was 
instrumental  in  establishing  protections  for  the  "primitive"  Filipino  group  the  Tasaday  and 
African  tribes,  and  supporting  the  establishment  of  a national  park.  While  studying  the  native 


311 


flora  and  fauna  of  the  Philippines,  he  also  became  involved  in  an  effort  to  protect  the 
Philippine  eagle. 

In  his  final  years,  Lindbergh  became  troubled  that  the  world  was  out  of  balance  with 
its  natural  environment;  he  stressed  the  need  to  regain  that  balance,  and  spoke  against 
the  introduction  of  supersonic  airliners. 

Lindbergh's  speeches  and  writings  later  in  life  emphasized  his  love  of  both 
technology  and  nature,  and  a lifelong  belief  that  "all  the  achievements  of  mankind 
have  value  only  to  the  extent  that  they  preserve  and  improve  the  quality  of  life. " 

In  a 1967  Life  magazine  article,  he  said,  "The  human  future  depends  on  our  ability  to 
combine  the  knowledge  of  science  with  the  wisdom  of  wildness. "

235  "...Dr.  Wilcox..." 

Paul  h.  Wilcox,  M.  D.The  Traverse  City  State  Hospital,  Traverse  City,  Michigan. 

Is  the  author  of  the  following  article,  published  in  the  American  Journal  of  Psychiatry 
in  August  of  1947: 

"A  Review  of  Over  23,000  Treatments  Using  Unidirectional  Currents 

1.  Forty  percent  of  the  most  chronic  patients  showed  significant  improvement  in  ward 
behavior  if  adequately  and  repeatedly  treated  with  suitable  type  of  electroshock  therapy. 
Relapses  must  be  treated  whenever  they  occur  over  months  and  years. 

2.  At  least  60%  of  early  cases,  aged  60  or  under,  were  rehabilitated  within  1 year  when 
adequately  treated  and  65%  by  the  end  of  the  second  year  after  the  start  of  treatment. 

3.  Adequate  treatment  means  intensive  treatment  until  the  expected  improvement  has 
occurred  and  intensive  treatment  of  relapses  when  they  occur.  No  patient,  otherwise  suitable 
who  still  is  not  rehabilitated  after  1 year,  has  had  an  adequate  trial  of  treatment  with  less  than 
20  treatments. 

4.  An  ideal  therapy  is  one  which  achieves  beneficial  results  without  causing  accumulating 
brain  damage,  thus  permitting  its  use  repeatedly  for  years  if  necessary. 

5.  This  ideal  is  approached  by  the  relatively  low  intensity  60-cycle  pulsating  direct  current 
used  in  the  treatment  of  the  patients  reviewed  in  this  paper.  This  technique  also  has  been

237  "...introduced  himself  as  Mr.  John  Reid  ..." 

"John  Edward  Reid,  American  criminologist  developed  a Polygraph  in  1945  which  was 
a scientific  recording  device  designed  to  register  a person's  bodily  responses  to  being 
questioned.  Popularly  known  as  a lie  detector,  the  polygraph  has  been  used  chiefly  in 
criminal  investigations,  although  it  is  also  used  in  employment  and  security  screening 
practices.  Because  no  machine  can  unerringly  recognize  when  a person  is  lying,  the 
polygraph  results  are  used  in  conjunction  with  other  evidence,  observations,  and  information. 
Emotional  stress  reflected  by  this  test,  for  instance,  need  not  be  due  to  lying.  On  the  other 
hand,  a subject  may  be  a pathological  liar  and  therefore  show  no  measurable  bodily 
responses  when  giving  false  answers.  Ordinary  nervousness,  individual  physical  or  mental 
abnormalities,  discomfort,  excessive  pretest  interrogation,  or  indifference  to  a question  also 
affect  test  accuracy.  The  polygraph  can,  however,  provide  a basis  for  an  evaluation  of 
whether  or  not  the  subject's  answers  are  truthful.  This  test  has  also  been  helpful  in 
exonerating  innocent  persons  accused  of  crimes. 

A polygraph  is  actually  several  instruments  combined  to  simultaneously  record  changes  in 
blood  pressure,  pulse,  and  respiration.  The  electrical  conductivity  of  the  skin's  surface  can 
also  be  measured — increased  sweat-gland  activity  reduces  the  skin's  ability  to  carry 
electrical  current. "

238  "...lie  detector  testing..." 

"Dr.  William  Moulton  Marston  ( May  9,  1893  - May  2,  1947)  was  an  American  psychologist, 
feminist  theorist,  inventor,  and  comic  book  author  who  created  the  character  Wonder 
Woman.  Two  strong  women,  his  wife  Elizabeth  Holloway  Marston  and  Olive  Byrne,  (who 
lived  with  the  couple  in  a polyamorous  relationship),  served  as  exemplars  for  the  character 
and  greatly  influenced  her  creation. 

Dr.  William  Moulton  Marston  is  credited  as  the  creator  of  the  systolic  blood-pressure  test 
used  in  an  attempt  to  detect  deception,  which  became  one  component  of  the  modern 
polygraph.  According  to  their  son,  Marston's  wife,  Elizabeth  Holloway  Marston,  was  also 
involved  in  the  development  of  the  systolic  blood-pressure  test:  "According  to  Marston’s  son, 
it  was  his  mother  Elizabeth,  Marston’s  wife,  who  suggested  to  him  that  'When  she  got  mad 
or  excited,  her  blood  pressure  seemed  to  climb'.  This  would  be  the  basis  for  Wonder 
Woman's  Lasso  of  Truth. 

The  FBI  considered  William  Moulton  Marston,  who  invented  the  lie  detector  and  created 
the  comic  book  character  Wonder  Woman  under  the  pseudonym  Charles  Moulton,  to  be  a 
'phony' and  a 'crackpot. ' He  is  alleged  to  have  misrepresented  the  result  of  a study  he 
conducted  for  the  Gillette  razor  company  in  1938,  for  which  he  reportedly  received  some 
$30,000,  a handsome  sum  in  those  days.  Despite  these  misgivings,  the  FBI  today  uses 
Marston's  creation  (the  polygraph,  not  the  Lasso  of  Truth)  to  guide  investigations  as  well 
as  to  screen  applicants  and  employees."

239  "...truth  serum..." 

"Sodium  thiopental , better  known  as  Sodium  Pentothal  (a  trademark  of  Abbott 
Laboratories),  thiopental,  thiopentone  sodium,  or  trapanal,  is  a rapid-onset  short-acting 
barbiturate  general  anaesthetic.  It  is  an  intravenous  ultra-short-acting  barbiturate.  Sodium 
thiopental  is  a depressant  and  is  sometimes  used  during  interrogations  - not  to  cause  pain 
(in  fact,  it  may  have  just  the  opposite  effect),  but  to  weaken  the  resolve  of  the  subject  and 
make  him  or  her  more  compliant  to  pressure. 

Thiopental  is  still  used  in  some  places  as  a truth  serum.  The  barbiturates  as  a class 
decrease  higher  cortical  brain  functioning.  Psychiatrists  hypothesize  that  because  lying  is 
more  complex  than  telling  the  truth,  suppression  of  the  higher  cortical  functions  may  lead  to 
the  uncovering  of  the  "truth".  However,  the  reliability  of  confessions  made  under  thiopental  is 
dubious;  the  drug  tends  to  make  subjects  chatty  and  cooperative  with  interrogators,  but  a 
practiced  liar  or  someone  who  has  a false  story  firmly  established  would  still  be  quite  able  to 
lie  while  under  the  influence  of  the  drug. "

240  "...the  Witness  Protection  Program..." 

"(also  known  as  the  Witness  Security  Program,  or  WitSec)  was  established  under  Title  V 
of  the  Organized  Crime  Control  Act  of  1970,  which  in  turn  sets  out  the  manner  in  which  the 
U.S.  Attorney  General  may  provide  for  the  relocation  and  protection  of  a witness  or  potential 
witness  of  the  federal  government,  or  for  a state  government  in  an  official  proceeding 
concerning  organized  crime  or  other  serious  offenses.  See  18  U.S.C.A  35 21  et.  seq. 

The  Federal  Government  also  gives  grants  to  the  states  to  enable  them  to  provide  similar 
services.  The  federal  program  is  called  WITSEC  (the  Federal  Witness  Protection  Program) 
and  was  founded  in  the  late  1 960s  by  Gerald  Shur  when  he  was  in  the  Organized  Crime  and 
Racketeering  Section  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Justice.  Most  witnesses  are 
protected  by  the  U.S.  Marshals  Service,  while  protection  of  incarcerated  witnesses  is  the 
duty  of  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Prisons. 

Normally,  the  witness  is  provided  with  a new  name  and  location.  Witnesses  are  encouraged 
to  keep  their  first  names  and  choose  last  names  with  the  same  initial.  The  U.S.  Marshals 
Service  provides  new  documentation,  assists  in  finding  housing  and  employment  and 
provides  a stipend  until  the  witness  gets  on  his  or  her  feet,  but  the  stipend  can  be 
discontinued  if  the  U.S.  Marshals  Service  feels  that  the  witness  is  not  making  an  aggressive 
effort  to  find  a job.  Witnesses  are  not  to  travel  back  to  their  hometowns  or  contact 
unprotected  family  members  or  former  associates.  Around  17  percent  of  protected  witnesses 
that  have  committed  a crime  will  commit  another  crime,  compared  to  the  almost  40  percent 
of  parolees  who  return  to  crime.  This  has  led  to  action  by  Congressional  committees 
requiring  WITSEC  and  other  witness  protection  programs  to  notify  local  officials  of  a witness' 
transfer  before  relocating  them. 

Many  states,  including  California,  Illinois,  and  New  York,  have  their  own  witness  protection 
programs  for  crimes  not  covered  by  the  federal  program.  The  state-run  programs  provide 
less  extensive  protections  than  the  federal  program. "

Suleiman  the  Magnificent...' 


"Suleiman  I (Ottoman  Turkish:  Sulayman,  Turkish:  Suleyman:  almost  always 

Kanuni  Sultan  Suleyman  in  Turkish)  (November  6,  1494  - September  5/6,  1566),  was  the 
tenth  and  longest-reigning  Sultan  of  the  Ottoman  Empire,  from  1520  to  his  death  in  1566.  He 
is  known  in  the  West  as  Suleiman  the  Magnificent  and  in  the  East,  as  the  Lawgiver  (in 
Turkish  Kanuni;  Arabic:  , al  - Qanuni),  for  his  complete  reconstruction  of  the 

Ottoman  legal  system.  Suleiman  became  the  pre-eminent  monarch  of  16th  century  Europe, 
presiding  over  the  apex  of  the  Ottoman  Empire's  military,  political  and  economic  power. 
Suleiman  personally  led  Ottoman  armies  to  conquer  the  Christian  strongholds  of  Belgrade, 
Rhodes,  and  most  of  Hungary  before  his  conquests  were  checked  at  the  Siege  of  Vienna  in 
1529.  He  annexed  most  of  the  Middle  East  in  his  conflict  with  the  Persians  and  large 
swathes  of  North  Africa  as  far  west  as  Algeria.  Under  his  rule,  the  Ottoman  fleet  dominated 
the  seas  from  the  Mediterranean  to  the  Indian  Ocean. 

At  the  helm  of  an  expanding  empire,  Suleiman  personally  instituted  legislative  changes 
relating  to  society,  education,  taxation,  and  criminal  law.  His  canonical  law  (or  the  Kanuns) 
fixed  the  form  of  the  empire  for  centuries  after  his  death.  Not  only  was  Suleiman  a 
distinguished  poet  and  goldsmith  in  his  own  right:  he  also  became  a great  patron  of  culture, 
overseeing  the  golden  age  of  the  Ottoman  Empire's  artistic,  literary  and  architectural 
development. 

In  a break  with  Ottoman  tradition,  Suleiman  married  a harem  girl  who  became  Hurrem 
Sultan,  whose  intrigues  in  the  court  and  power  over  the  Sultan  have  become  as  famous  as 
Suleiman  himself. "

242  "...  His  assistant  was  a harem  girl  who  rose  up  from  slavery  to  become  his  wife..." 

"According  to  late  sixteenth  century  and  early  seventeenth  century  sources  such  as  the 
Polish  poet  Samuel  Twardowski,  she  was  bom  in  the  town  which  was  then  part  of  the 
Kingdom  of  Poland.  She  was  captured  by  Crimean  Tatars  during  one  of  their  frequent  raids 
into  this  region  and  taken  as  a slave,  probably  first  to  the  Crimean  city  of  Kaffa,  a major 
centre  of  the  slave  trade,  then  to  Istanbul,  and  was  selected  for  Suleyman's  harem. 

Suleiman  was  infatuated  with  Hurrem  Sultan,  a harem  girl  of  Ruthenian  origin.  In  the  West 
foreign  diplomats,  taking  notice  of  the  palace  gossip  about  her,  called  her  "Russelazie"  or 
"Roxolana",  referring  to  her  Slavic  origins.  The  daughter  of  an  Orthodox  Ukrainian  priest, 
she  was  captured  and  rose  through  the  ranks  of  the  Harem  to  become  Suleiman's  favorite. 
Breaking  with  two  centuries  of  Ottoman  tradition,  a former  concubine  had  thus 
become  the  legal  wife  of  the  Sultan,  much  to  the  astonishment  of  observers  in  the  palace 
and  the  city.  He  also  allowed  Hurrem  Sultan  to  remain  with  him  at  court  for  the  rest  of 
her  life,  breaking  another  tradition — that  when  imperial  heirs  came  of  age,  they  would  be 
sent  along  with  the  imperial  concubine  who  bore  them  to  govern  remote  provinces  of  the 
Empire,  never  to  return  unless  their  progeny  succeeded  to  the  throne. 

Under  his  pen  name,  Muhibbi,  Suleiman  composed  this  poem  for  Roxolana: 

"Throne  of  my  lonely  niche,  my  wealth,  my  love,  my  moonlight. 

My  most  sincere  friend,  my  confidant,  my  very  existence,  my  Sultan,  my  one  and  only  love.

The  most  beautiful  among  the  beautiful. . . 

My  springtime,  my  merry  faced  love,  my  daytime,  my  sweetheart,  laughing  leaf. . . 

My  plants,  my  sweet,  my  rose,  the  one  only  who  does  not  distress  me  in  this  world. . . 

My  Istanbul,  my  Caraman,  the  earth  of  my  Anatolia 
My  Badakhshan,  my  Baghdad  and  Khorasan 

My  woman  of  the  beautiful  hair,  my  love  of  the  slanted  brow,  my  love  of  eyes  full  of 
mischief. . . 

I'll  sing  your  praises  always 

I,  lover  of  the  tormented  heart,  Muhibbi  of  the  eyes  full  of  tears,  I am  happy. " 

Roxelana,  as  she  is  better  known  in  Europe,  is  well-known  both  in  modern  Turkey  and  in  the 
West,  and  is  the  subject  of  many  artistic  works.  She  has  inspired  paintings,  musical 
works  (including  Joseph  Haydn 's  Symphony  No.  63),  an  opera  by  Denys  Sichynsky,  a 
ballet,  plays,  and  several  novels. "

243  "...  Queen  Elizabeth..." 

Elizabeth  I (7  September  1533  - 24  March  1603)  was  Queen  of  England  and  Queen  of 
Ireland  from  17  November  1558  until  her  death.  Sometimes  called  The  Virgin  Queen, 
Gloriana,  The  Faerie  Queen  or  Good  Queen  Bess,  Elizabeth  was  the  fifth  and  last  monarch 
of  the  Tudor  dynasty.  The  daughter  of  Henry  VIII,  she  was  bom  a princess,  but  her  mother, 
Anne  Boleyn,  was  executed  three  years  after  her  birth,  and  Elizabeth  was  declared 
illegitimate.  Perhaps  for  that  reason,  her  brother,  Edward  VI,  cut  her  out  of  the  succession. 
His  will,  however,  was  set  aside,  as  it  contravened  the  Third  Succession  Act  of  1 5 43,  in 
which  Elizabeth  was  named  as  successor  provided  that  Mary  I of  England,  Elizabeth's  half- 
sister,  should  die  without  issue.  In  1 558,  Elizabeth  succeeded  her  half-sister,  during  whose 
reign  she  had  been  imprisoned  for  nearly  a year  on  suspicion  of  supporting  Protestant 
rebels. 

Elizabeth  set  out  to  rule  by  good  counsel.  One  of  her  first  moves  was  to  support  the 
establishment  of  an  English  Protestant  church,  of  which  she  became  the  Supreme  Governor. 
This  Elizabethan  Religious  Settlement  held  firm  throughout  her  reign  and  later  evolved  into 
today's  Church  of  England.  It  was  expected  that  Elizabeth  would  marry,  but  despite  several 
petitions  from  parliament,  she  never  did.  The  reasons  for  this  choice  are  unknown,  and  they 
have  been  much  debated.  /\s  she  grew  older,  Elizabeth  became  famous  for  her  virginity, 
and  a cult  grew  up  around  her  which  was  celebrated  in  the  portraits,  pageants  and  literature 
of  the  day. 

One  of  her  mottos  was  video  et  taceo:  "I  see,  and  say  nothing”. 

This  strategy,  viewed  with  impatience  by  her  counselors,  often  saved  her  from  political  and 
marital  misalliances.  Though  Elizabeth  was  cautious  in  foreign  affairs  and  only  half-heartedly 
supported  a number  of  ineffective,  poorly  resourced  military  campaigns  in  the  Netherlands, 
France  and  Ireland,  the  defeat  of  the  Spanish  armada  in  1588  associated  her  name 
forever  with  what  is  popularly  viewed  as  one  of  the  greatest  victories  in  British 
history.  Within  twenty  years  of  her  death,  she  was  being  celebrated  as  the  ruler  of  a 
golden  age,  an  image  that  retains  its  hold  on  the  English  people.  Elizabeth's  reign  is  known 
as  the  Elizabethan  era,  famous  above  all  for  the  flourishing  of  English  drama,  led  by 
playwrights  such  as  William  Shakespeare  and  Christopher  Marlowe. "

244  "...  he  was  incarnated  as  Cecil  Rhodes." 

Cecil  John  Rhodes,  (July  5.  1853  - March  26,  1902)  was  a British-born  South  African 
businessman,  mining  magnate,  and  politician.  He  was  the  founder  of  the  diamond  company 
De  Beers,  which  today  markets  60%  of  the  world's  rough  diamonds  and  at  one  time 
marketed  90%.  He  was  an  ardent  believer  in  colonialism  and  was  the  founder  of  the  state  of 
Rhodesia,  which  was  named  after  him. 

Rhodes  profited  greatly  from  controlling  Southern  Africa's  natural  resources,  the  proceeds  of 
which  funded  the  Rhodes  Scholarship  upon  his  death.  Rhodes  never  married,  pleading 
that  "I  have  too  much  work  on  my  hands"  and  saying  that  he  would  not  be  a dutiful 
husband.  Queen  Victoria  reportedly  asked  him  if  he  was  a woman-hater,  which  Rhodes 
denied  insisting  “How  could  I dislike  a sex  to  which  your  Majesty  belongs?’’ 

Rhodes  famously  declared: 

"To  think  of  these  stars  that  you  see  overhead  at  night,  these  vast  worlds  which  we 
can  never  reach.  I would  annex  the  planets  if  I could;  I often  think  of  that.  It  makes  me 
sad  to  see  them  so  clear  and  yet  so  far. "

from  a famous  Polish-Lithuanian  aristocratic  family  called  the  Radziwills.  She  was  born  as 
Countess  Ekaterina  Adamovna  Rzewuska.  She  married  Prince  Wilhelm  Radziwill  at  age  15 
and  moved  to  Berlin  to  live  with  his  family.  It  was  speculated  that  she  was  the  author  of  a 
book  gossiping  about  the  German  Emperor  William  II  and  Berlin  society  in  1884  under  the 
pen  name  Paul  Vasili. 

She  stalked  the  English-born  South  African  politician  Cecil  Rhodes  and  asked  him  to 
marry  her,  but  he  refused.  She  wrote  a biography  of  Rhodes  called  "Cecil  Rhodes:

246  "...  One  was  named  Kelly..." 

William  Kelly  (August  22,  181 1 - February  11,  1888),  born  in  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  was 
an  American  inventor.  Kelly  studied  metallurgy  at  the  Western  University  of  Pennsylvania. 
Kelly  started  experimenting  with  his  "air-boiling  process,"  a process  of  blowing  air  up  through 
molten  iron  to  reduce  the  carbon  content,  in  1847.  His  initial  goal  was  to  reduce  the  amount 
of  fuel  required  for  iron  and  steel  making,  because  of  the  immense  amount  of  timber 
required  to  make  the  charcoal.  He  discovered  that,  contrary  to  the  expectations  of  his  iron 
workers,  the  injected  air  did  not  cool  the  molten  iron,  but  instead  combined  with  the  carbon 
to  cause  the  iron  to  boil  and  burn  violently  until  the  carbon  was  greatly  reduced,  improving 
the  quality  of  the  iron  or  converting  it  to  steel.  His  experiments  began  in  1 847.  The  same 
process  was  later  independently  invented  and  patented  by  Henry  Bessemer."

enough  to  maintain  them  intact  without  litigation,  though  he  found  it  advisable  to  buy  up  the 
rights  of  one  patentee,  while  in  another  case  he  was  freed  from  anxiety  by  the  patent  being 
allowed  to  lapse  in  1859  through  non-payment  of  fees. "

248  " Another  IS-BE  who  did  this  was  Alexander  Bell..." 

"As  is  sometimes  common  in  scientific  discoveries,  simultaneous  developments  can  occur, 
as  evidenced  by  a number  of  inventors  who  were  at  work  on  the  telephone. 

Alexander  Graham  Bell  (3  March  1847  - 2 August  1922)  was  an  eminent  scientist,  inventor 
and  innovator  who  is  credited  with  the  invention  of  the  telephone.  His  father,  grandfather  and 
brother  had  all  been  associated  with  work  on  elocution  and  speech,  and  both  his  mother 
and  wife  were  deaf,  profoundly  influencing  Bell's  life's  work.  His  research  on  hearing 
and  speech  further  led  him  to  experiment  with  hearing  devices  that  eventually  culminated 
in  Bell  being  awarded  the  first  U.S.  patent  for  the  invention  of  the  telephone  in  1876. 

In  reflection,  Bell  considered  his  most  famous  invention  an  intrusion  on  his  real  work  as  a 
scientist  and  refused  to  have  a telephone  in  his  study. "

249  ..."  it  was  invented  by  several  others,  including  Elisha  Gray." 

"Elisha  Gray  (August  2,  1835  - January  21 , 1901)  was  an  American  electrical  engineer  and 
is  best  known  for  his  development  of  a telephone  prototype  in  1876  in  Highland  Park,  Illinois, 
U.S. A..  Mr.  Elisha  Gray,  of  Chicago  also  devised  a tone  telegraph  of  this  kind  about  the 
same  time  as  Herr  La  Cour.  In  this  apparatus  a vibrating  steel  reed  interrupted  the  current, 
which  at  the  other  end  of  the  line  passed  through  an  electromagnet  and  vibrated  a matching 
steel  reed  near  its  poles.  Gray's  'harmonic  telegraph, ' with  the  vibrating  reeds,  was  used  by 
the  Western  Union  Telegraph  Company.  Since  more  than  one  set  of  vibrations  — that  is  to 
say,  more  than  one  note  — can  be  sent  over  the  same  wire  simultaneously,  the  harmonic 
telegraph  can  be  utilised  as  a 'multiplex'  or  many-piy  telegraph,  conveying  several  messages 
through  the  same  wire  at  once;  and  these  can  either  be  read  by  the  operator  by  the  sound, 
or  a permanent  record  can  be  made  by  the  marks  drawn  on  a ribbon  of  travelling  paper  by  a 
Morse  recorder.  Bell's  March  10,  1876  laboratory  notebook  entry  describing  his  first 
successful  experiment  with  the  telephone. 

Bell's  patent  application  for  the  telephone  was  filed  in  the  US  patent  office  on  February  14, 
1876.  The  usual  story  says  that  Bell  got  to  the  patent  office  an  hour  or  two  before  his 
rival  Elisha  Gray,  and  that  Gray  lost  his  rights  to  the  telephone  as  a result. 


318 


According  to  Gray's  account,  his  patent  caveat  was  taken  to  the  US  patent  office  a few 
hours  before  Bell's  application,  shortly  after  the  patent  office  opened  and  remained  near  the 
bottom  of  the  in-basket  until  that  afternoon.  Bell's  application  was  filed  shortly  before  noon 
on  14  February  by  Bell's  lawyer  who  requested  that  the  filing  fee  be  entered  immediately 
onto  the  cash  receipts  blotter  and  that  Bell's  application  be  taken  to  the  examiner 
immediately.  Late  that  afternoon,  the  fee  for  Gray's  caveat  was  entered  on  the  cash  blotter 
and  the  caveat  was  not  taken  to  the  examiner  until  the  following  day.  The  fact  that  Bell's 
filing  fee  was  recorded  earlier  than  Gray's  fee  led  to  the  story  that  Bell  had  arrived  at  the 
patent  office  earlier.  Bell  was  in  Boston  on  February  14  and  did  not  know  this  was  happening 
until  he  arrived  in  Washington  on  February  26.  Whether  Bell's  application  was  filed  before  or 
after  Gray's  caveat  no  longer  mattered,  because  Gray  abandoned  his  caveat,  which  opened
