			Based on observation and research, it is apparent that humanity has 
			now reached a great historical crossroads. We have come to the end 
			of a two thousand year history of intolerance, cruelty and 
			stupidity, which has created our present state of global, collective 
			madness. Humanity, as a collective whole, is arriving at a state of 
			collective Spiritual Bankruptcy, or “death.” And yet, we cannot 
			assume that this is meaningless. Those who understand the principles 
			of electricity will comprehend when I say that this present global 
			estate is the way nature works and is the establishing of sufficient 
			Contact Potential Difference for the inflow of energy of 
			Cosmic 
			Light.  
			
			  
			
			
			But just as it is in the case of the individual, when that 
			point is reached - that Dark Night of the Soul - there is a “choice” 
			that becomes apparent: the soul is offered the way “up” or the way 
			“down.” In order for this coming inflow of energy to act in positive 
			ways, to create a new reality of Free Will and 
			Balance, there must 
			be a point of contact that can conduct the energy. There must be 
			human “micro-chips” or “circuits” sufficient to sustain this energy 
			or all of humanity will perish. This means that only the development 
			of human beings of a certain sort - with a certain “wiring,” so to 
			say - will result in the global capacity to confront the energies of 
			the Crossroads. 
			 
			The Laws of Probability tell us that, without any intelligent input, 
			50% of the time the events in our world would lead to great good and 
			benefit for mankind. In a strictly mechanical way, life in our world 
			ought to have manifested a sort of “equilibrium.” Factoring in 
			intelligent decisions to do good might bring this average up to 
			about 70%. That would mean that humanity would have advanced over 
			the millennia to a state of existence where good and positive things 
			happen in our lives more often than “negative” or “bad” things.  
			
			  
			
			
			In 
			this way, many of the problems of humanity would have been 
			effectively solved. War and conflict would be a rarity, perhaps 70 
			percent of the earth’s population would have decent medical care, a 
			comfortable roof over their heads, and sufficient nutritious food so 
			that death by disease or starvation would be almost unheard of. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			
			The facts are, however, quite different 
			
			 
			More than 840,000,000 people on the Earth suffer from hunger. That’s 
			about three times the population of the entire USA. This is chronic, 
			persistent hunger, which kills 24,000 people every day, or over 8 
			million each year. Three of four who die from starvation are younger 
			than five years old. 
			 
			According to the Historical Atlas of the Twentieth Century, during 
			the past 100 years there have been approximately 2 billion deaths 
			(including civilians) resulting from war, tyrannical governments, 
			and man-made famine. When these figures are broken down into deaths 
			caused by Communism vs. Capitalism, they are almost equal, with the 
			figures slightly higher for Capitalism which may surprise some 
			people who believe that the Capitalistic system is the “right” one. 
			“By their fruits you shall know them.” 
			 
			Turning to mortality statistics that are not related to war and 
			famine, we find that it is a bit difficult to get an actual number 
			because the stats are nearly always expressed in terms of 
			percentages rather than in hard population numbers. One gets the 
			feeling that the actual count is so frightening that this approach 
			is used for the express purpose of avoiding having to face the 
			facts. One thing we do know is that deaths from cardiovascular 
			diseases and stroke are the leading cause of death in 31 of the 35 
			Western Hemisphere countries that report disease related mortality 
			statistics. The highest of these mortality rates are found in the 
			English-speaking Caribbean, USA, Canada, Argentina, Chile and 
			Uruguay. Mortality rates from these causes are increasing in the 
			Central American and Latin Caribbean regions as they come more and 
			more under the sway of Western capitalism. 
			 
			What we are talking about above are the “quiet” statistics, from our 
			present reality. Even now it is easy to forget that there were 65 
			million deaths from WW II alone and that deaths from disease and 
			starvation continue as a quiet, steady, drum beat of increasing 
			mortality behind the trumpeting of school shootings, sensational 
			murder trials, and little Cuban boys who become the center of 
			international custody disputes. 
			 
			I don’t think that one single person on this planet will disagree 
			that they want a better life for themselves and their children; and 
			most of them will add that they do not presently have the capacity 
			to make it a reality. Except for a very small minority of very sick 
			people, I don’t think anybody likes to see misery and suffering, 
			disease and death and despair, in any context. And again we must 
			ask: if these things are so detestable to human beings at large, if 
			so many people are working and thinking and praying to improve the 
			conditions of our world, why isn’t it happening? 
			 
			Seekers of 
			Ascension - a large number of whom could be considered 
			“Intelligentsia” - are always aware of these things, and they are 
			asking,  
			
				
				“What is the origin of all the misery and suffering? Does it 
			just happen? Do people and only people cause others to suffer? Is it 
			that God is good, but allows bad things to happen?” 
			 
			
			
			“Don’t forget the power of prayer,” we are told by our religious 
			leaders, or “positive thinking,” as the New Age gurus tell us. The 
			only problem is, prayers and positive thinking do not seem to have 
			improved the world very much on the occasions when it is certain 
			that nearly every human being was praying for a certain outcome. 
			 
			Jesus promised: “If any two of you shall agree and ask... it shall 
			be done.” (Matt 18:19) That’s a promise. What do you want or need? 
			Just ask!  
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			
			But it doesn’t work and we see it! 
			
			 
			Over sixty million people died because God didn’t do what everybody 
			thought he should do. C.S. Lewis struggled with this issue in the 
			latter part of his life. He saw clearly that, before World War II, 
			practically every human being on the planet was praying—to Jesus, 
			God the Father, the Virgin Mary, Allah, Buddha and whoever else you 
			can name or mention, so all the bases were covered — that this 
			terrible thing would not happen. The memory of the previous “Great 
			War” was still fresh in the mind of mankind. They remembered the 
			horrible carnage and vowed, never again! 
			 
			In the end, after the mightiest cry of prayer in human memory, 
			rising from the earth, almost one-third of the world was 
			uninhabitable and sixty-five million human beings were dead. That 
			was God’s answer to prayer.  
			
			  
			
			
			That was the result of the “power of 
			positive thinking.” 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			
			Think about it 
			
			 
			Throughout history we find one group praying to their god to protect 
			them from the depredations of another group. The other group is 
			praying just as fervently that their depredations will be 
			successful. When one group succeeds in killing another, is that 
			proof that its god is supreme? What then happens if the members of 
			the successful group are then reincarnated [1] into the group that 
			was defeated? This is not a rhetorical question since a very 
			interesting book [2] was written about the great numbers of Jews who 
			died in the holocaust now being reincarnated as Christians. There 
			has also been some suggestion that many Nazis are now being 
			reincarnated as Jews. What then, does such an idea do to the concept 
			of “my god is the only right one?” 
			 
			I can assure the reader from my own experience as a hypnotherapist, 
			that every single case I have worked with in terms of “past life 
			therapy,” has demonstrated a “string” of “past lives” in such 
			variety of nationality and religious orientation, that it literally 
			makes a joke of anyone stating with absolute certainty, that their 
			beliefs or religious orientation now, are the only right ones. It is 
			evident that those who declaim against another group most vehemently 
			will most certainly find themselves a member of that very group in 
			the next “round” of incarnation. 
			 
			This begs the question of why people cannot remember the previous 
			lessons in past lives; why the wisdom of the soul is not available 
			to the person. If humans have souls or spirits, why is the knowledge 
			of past karmic cycles not part of a person’s wisdom? The answer to 
			that question is, of course, part of the Quest for Ascension - to 
			reclaim that knowledge, among other things.  
			 
			The questions about how our beliefs may shape our reality are among 
			the most significant in all of consciousness research. And so it is 
			that many seekers step outside of the “standard religions” and begin 
			to seek the “truth” of the ways and means of Ascension. 
			 
			“Ascension” is discussed widely in books, articles, in 115,000 - plus 
			sites on the Internet, in classes and workshops, and other media. 
			The general trend of ideas expressed includes the search for the 
			“one thing that will transform your life.” Various “techniques” are 
			advertised which promise to provide stress relief and even the “key 
			to the highest levels of human consciousness.” The shopper in the 
			market of ascension “tools” is told that they can now make a choice 
			to “swiftly and easily free the nervous system from stress, enjoy 
			maximum creativity, clarity and health, experience inner peace, 
			fulfillment and joy,” and of course, change one’s self-limiting 
			beliefs. 
			 
			Another perspective on “ascension” tells us that ascension is “the 
			way to integrate all portions of your self in a conscious way.” The 
			seeker is told that he or she is a “multi-dimensional being who 
			seeded portions of itself into the physical reality” and that fully 
			“remembering who you are” is the act of integration and the “removal 
			of the veil of time, identities and separateness in yourself.” What, 
			precisely, the result will be —other than being “healthy, wealthy and 
			wise”— is not clear. 
			 
			As we read further in the available literature, we discover other 
			ideas. One “expert” on the subject tells us that this thing called 
			“ascensions” was only achieved in the past upon dying, and that now 
			people can do it and take their physical body with them. He suggests 
			that spirituality is so advanced in the present age that souls can 
			graduate more quickly. It is as though he is suggesting a “grading 
			curve” has been instituted so that the requirements are lessened. 
			Either that, or he hasn’t been paying much attention to what is 
			going on “out there.”  
			 
			The evidence of “advanced spirituality” in our world is severely 
			lacking in spite of the New Age claims that “light workers” can,  
			
				
				“help bring forth the ascension for the masses before physical 
			death, before totally wearing out the physical body in resistance to 
			evolution. Much more energy can be expended on the positive and much 
			less wasted on the negative.”  
			 
			
			
			Again, we note that objective reality does not support such a claim. 
			If anything, since the inception of the New Age “movement,” if it 
			can be so called, things have gotten a lot worse. 
			 
			This leads to another point: it seems that we must accept the 
			objective fact that attempts to change the world spiritually, or to 
			regulate large scale events, simply do not work. Yes, there does 
			seem to be evidence that individuals or small groups of individuals 
			can make small changes or produce effects with a limited range of 
			influence. But for some reason, the world as it is, seems to operate 
			based on rules or laws that we do not understand. The fundamental 
			nature of the physical world seems to be antithetical to this 
			“spiritualization.”  
			 
			One recent work that attempts to provide a scientific explanation 
			for this ability to influence the world, Conscious Acts of Creation, 
			tells us: 
			
				
				This book marks a sharp dividing line between old ways of scientific 
			thought and old experimental protocols, wherein human qualities of 
			consciousness, intention, emotion, mind and spirit cannot 
			significantly affect physical reality, and a new paradigm wherein 
			they can robustly do so! [3] 
			 
			
			
			The book, written by three mainstream scientists, goes on to tell us 
			that:  
			
				
				…utilizing a unique experimental protocol on both inanimate and 
			animate systems, that the human quality of focused intention can be 
			made to act as a true thermodynamic potential and strongly influence 
			experimental measurements for a variety of specific target 
			experiments. 
			 
			
			After almost 400 pages of 
			math and speculation and descriptions of 
			experiments we are told: 
			
				
				Under some conditions, it is indeed possible to attach an aspect of 
			human consciousness, a specific intention, to a simple electrical 
			device and have that device, when activated, robustly influence an 
			experiment conducted in its vicinity in complete accord with the 
			attached intention. Thus, if they do it right, humans can influence 
			their environment via specific, sustained intentions. […]  
				
				  
				
				Some new 
			field appears to be involved in the information passage that occurs 
			between conditioned locales that are widely separated from each 
			other in physical space. Even with transmitters and receivers 
			located inside electrically grounded Faraday cages, highly 
			correlated patterns of information appeared in the remotely located 
			locales.[…]  
				
				  
				
				Although we don’t fully understand them, we now have 
			some new tools with which to probe the deeper structures of the 
			universe and a new adventure is underway for humanity. [4] 
			 
			
			It is important to note that the “intenders” of the experiments were 
			long-time practitioners of Siddha Yoga and could thus be considered 
			metaphysically “in tune” to some considerable extent. The question 
			is: What did they accomplish? Based on the descriptions, it sounds 
			pretty earth shaking, right?  
			
			  
			
			Well, as noted, after almost 400 pages 
			we find that the most significant result seems to have been changing 
			the pH of a small sample of water. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			Yup. That’s it 
			
			 
			Nevertheless, this is important for the simple reason that they 
			managed to scientifically demonstrate a principle, even if the 
			overall result was that it was - most often - an iffy proposition 
			and there didn’t seem to be a lot of control. Most results were 
			“statistical” and this has always been a problem with the “create 
			your own reality” idea. When all the data is examined, what we 
			generally find is that it is six of one, half dozen of the other. 
			Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. What the real rules are, 
			nobody seems to know. 
			 
			While we all might like to think we can transform our world by 
			praying and/or thinking positively, we must remember that there is a 
			great deal of evidence that real transformations of the planet have 
			repeatedly been cataclysmic. A philosophy, which ignores this fact, 
			is courting disaster. 
			 
			And so we have a clue that the problem may not be as easily solved 
			as the many promoters of the different “methods or techniques of 
			Ascension” would have us believe. The question then becomes: if the 
			
			process of Ascension is possibly more complex than the many 
			promoters of the various methods offered in our day would have us 
			think, what is the reason for the 115,000 web pages?  
			
			  
			
			
			This matter 
			deserves some discussion in the context of certain problems in our 
			world that are undoubtedly related. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			The Scam of Distraction 
			
			
			 
			In 1931, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in which he stated: 
			
				
					
					The older dictators fell because they never could supply their 
			subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles and 
			mysteries. Nor did they possess a really effective system of 
			mind-manipulation.
  Under a scientific dictator, education will really work — with the 
			result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude 
			and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason 
			why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown. 
				 
			 
			
			Aldous Huxley also made an early connection between the effects 
			experienced by those partaking of psychedelic drugs and the 
			experiences of Eastern Mysticism and this set the 
			consciousness-raising bomb off with a BANG! Along came Timothy 
			Leary, Richard Alpert AKA  Baba Ram Dass with their 
			LSD and other 
			modes of mind marvels, leading the parade of those who were “turned 
			on, tuned in.”  
			
			  
			
			Abraham Maslow became a father figure to the new 
			“wave” of those desiring to fill the gaping hole of their reality 
			with “peak experiences.” Maslow cited psychedelic drugs as one of 
			the means in which even ordinary people could have a little of what 
			the Eastern Mystics worked many years to develop. Now, it could be 
			had for a weekend seminar at Big Sur, or a study by mail course at 
			only $29.95 per lesson! What a deal! 
			 
			Peak Experiences —experience, experience, and experience— became the 
			pot of gold at the end of the rainbow of the 1960’s. No one needed 
			to live in Existential Despair any longer! Everyone could become a 
			“spiritual voyager” and achieve extended periods in realms of 
			consciousness they had only heard about in veiled, mysterious 
			allusions down through the ages. [5] Encounter groups, radical 
			therapies, old and new combinations of theories and practice came 
			rolling off the conveyor belt of techno-spirituality.  
			
			  
			
			The 
			intangibles of spirit had been harnessed! Anyone could evoke some 
			desirable experience by manipulating awareness at the basic physical 
			and psychological levels. Never mind that all of this bypassed the 
			vital processes of reason and conscious decision making. By its very 
			nature, the whole techno-spiritual machine operated completely 
			without critical thinking; it tapped the bottomless pit of 
			feeling-emotion — primal being. Never mind that much of this emotion 
			was negative, confusing, anxious and fearful! Let’s just get it all 
			out here in the open and have a party with it! 
			 
			Each of the many techniques developed during this time was fully 
			capable of producing an emotional high of one sort or another. There 
			were endless “peak experiences,” and dramatic “personal 
			breakthroughs.” The mixtures of Zen, yoga, 
			meditation, and drugs 
			along with strict mechanical technology, were a veritable adventure 
			in awareness! The only problem was: in the midst of all this 
			peaking, mind-blowing, turning on and tuning in, ecstasy and 
			encountering, many people encountered things that, perhaps, ought 
			not have been awakened. Boundaries were breached into unseeable and 
			terrifying realms of consciousness.  
			
			  
			
			William Chittick, translator of 
			the works of the great Sufi Shaykh, Ibn al-’Arabi, wrote: 
			
				
				Nowadays most people interested in the 
				spirituality of the East 
			desire the “experience,” though they may call what they are after 
			intimate communion with God. Those familiar with the standards and 
			norms of spiritual experience set down by disciplined paths like 
			Sufism are usually appalled at the way Westerners seize upon any 
			apparition from the domain outside of normal consciousness as a 
			manifestation of the “spiritual.” In fact, there are innumerable 
				realms in the unseen world, some of them far more dangerous than the 
			worst jungles of the visible world.  
			 
			
			Al-Arabi himself said: [6] 
			
				
				So preserve yourselves, my brothers, from the calamities of this 
			place, for distinguishing it is extremely difficult! Souls find it 
			sweet, and then within it they are duped, since they become 
			completely enamored of it. [7] 
			 
			
			By the end of the decade of the 60’s, the “human potential” movement 
			had become a veritable potpourri of religion, science, mysticism, magick and “the occult.” The drug use got out of hand, the 
			“techniques” began to show serious flaws with a number of tragedies 
			resulting in crime or madness, and the whole idea of human beings 
			becoming “psychic supermen” hit the skids.  
			
			  
			
			The promise of the 60’s 
			decayed into an aimless lethargy —old hippies living in communes, 
			braiding their gray locks and lusting after the sweet young teeny 
			boppers while they fired up another bong and reminisced about the 
			“good old days” at Esalen. 
			 
			But wait! Something else happened here! Remember, this is America! 
			The home of the Free — Market that is. Many people suggest that the 
			subsequent proliferation of the “New Age” consciousness raising 
			movement was the result of big business seeing a pile of money to be 
			made in the development of slick, newly packaged psychoanalysis and 
			psychodrama. There was, indeed, mass distribution and Madison Avenue 
			marketing of things like Mind Dynamics, Arica, 
			Silva Mind Control, 
			Transcendental Meditation, and on and on. Individual entrepreneurs 
			knew a good thing when they saw it. However, there is more to this 
			than meets the eye.  
			
			  
			
			This is important to our subject, so bear with 
			me. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			Something Wicked This Way Comes 
			
			 
			Richard Dolan’s 
			
			UFOs and the National Security State is the first 
			comprehensive study of the past 50 years of the U.S. Government’s 
			response to the intrusion of UFO phenomena in America. The compiled 
			evidence - which includes government documents - suggests that a 
			group of specialists working in the shadows, set up and executed the 
			most massive cover-up in the history of government; and that the 
			Human Potential movement and the subsequent New Age movements, were 
			key elements of this cover-up.  
			
			  
			
			In other words, they not only have 
			used the “colorful community” of alternative ideas as an unwitting 
			tool of disinformation, it is highly probable that most of it was 
			literally created by them as  COINTELPRO. According to analysts, 
			COINTELPRO was the FBI’s secret program to undermine the popular 
			upsurge, which swept the country during the 1960s.  
			
			  
			
			Though the name 
			stands for “Counterintelligence Program,” the targets were not enemy 
			spies. The FBI set out to eliminate “radical” 
			political opposition 
			inside the US. What a lot of people do not realize is that this was 
			a high level psychological operation specifically set up to vector 
			“ideological” trends - beliefs, etc.  
			
			  
			
			To get a complete picture of 
			the problem, Dolan writes: 
			
				- 
				
				The UFO problem has involved military personnel around the world for 
			more than fifty years, and is wrapped in secrecy. […]  
				 
				- 
				
				Because this 
			subject is so widely ridiculed, it is important to stress why it is 
			worthy of serious attention.[…]   
				- 
				
				Stories of strange objects in the 
			sky go far back into time, but the problem received little attention 
			until the Second World War. […]   
				- 
				
				During the UFO wave of 1947, 
			American military and intelligence organizations conducted multiple, 
			simultaneous investigations of these sightings. […]   
				- 
				
				By the end of 
			1947, a contingent of analysts at the Air Technical Intelligence 
			Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base believed that UFOs were 
			extraterrestrial. By the summer of 1948, this team prepared an 
			“Estimate of the Situation.” […]   
				- 
				
				As the story goes, Air Force 
				Commander Hoyt Vandenberg rejected [this conclusion.] […] 
				 
				- 
				
				In the summer of 1952… 
				UFO sightings were so frequent and often of 
			such high quality that some in the air force actually wondered 
			whether an invasion was under way. With some help from the secret 
			CIA sponsored 
				
				Robertson Panel of January 1953, the air force 
			improved censorship over the problem. Still, it never quite went 
			away. Civilian organizations began to collect and analyze 
			interesting UFO reports. […]  
				- 
				
				 Then came the 
				great UFO wave of 1965 
			and 1966, when the air force could no longer hide behind weather 
			balloons and swamp gas, nor withstand public scrutiny. […] 
				 
			 
			
			Let us pause to assess the situation. By the 
			mid-1940s, America’s 
			intelligence apparatus had reason to believe that there were 
			artifacts in the skies that did not originate from America, Russia, 
			Germany, or any other country. These objects violated some highly 
			sensitive military airspace, and did not appear to be natural 
			phenomena. One may presume that the affected national security 
			authorities made it an immediate obsession to determine the nature 
			and purpose of these objects, and we may infer that the issue 
			probably became a deep secret by 1946, or 1947 at the latest. [8] 
			 
			It was at this precise moment in time that the Human Potential 
			movement was “born.”  
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			Do we think that this was a coincidence?  
			
			 
			By the mid-50s, it was becoming obvious that things were getting out 
			of control and in August of 1956, the FBI began its  COINTELPRO 
			operation. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant 
			harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter 
			the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took 
			the law into its own hands. Its methods ranged far beyond 
			surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of the covert 
			action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.
			 
			 
			Usually, when we think of COINTELPRO, we think of the most well 
			known and typical activities which include:  
			
				
					- 
					
					sending anonymous or 
			fictitious letters designed to start rumors  
					- 
					
					publishing false defamatory or threatening information 
					 
					- 
					
					forging 
			signatures on fake documents  
					- 
					
					introducing disruptive and subversive 
			members into organizations to destroy them from within 
					 
					- 
					
					blackmailing 
			insiders in any group to force them to spread false rumors 
					 
					- 
					
					to 
			foment factionalism  
					- 
					
					and so on 
					 
				 
			 
			
			What a lot of people don’t keep in mind is the fact that 
			 COINTELPRO 
			also concentrated on creating bogus organizations.  
			 
			These bogus groups could serve many functions which might include 
			attacking and/or disrupting bona fide groups, or even just simply 
			creating a diversion with clever propaganda in order to attract 
			members away so as to involve them with time-wasting activity 
			designed to prevent them from doing anything useful.  COINTELPRO was 
			also famous for instigation of hostile actions through third 
			parties.  
			 
			According to investigators, these FBI programs were noteworthy 
			because all documents relating to them were stamped “do not file.” 
			This meant that they were never filed in the system, and for all 
			intents and purposes, did not exist. This cover was blown after 
			activists broke into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania in 1971. 
			The possibility of finding evidence for any of it, after that event, 
			is about zero.  
			
			  
			
			To spell it out in Dolan’s words: 
			
				
				Regarding matters connected with “national security,” there appears 
			to be a wealth of information that does not exist officially. Thus, 
			a request to find such documents through a Freedom of Information 
			Act request would be in vain. Add to this the likelihood that 
			perhaps the most sensitive information regarding UFOs may not even 
			exist in document form (“the first rule in keeping secrets is 
			nothing on paper,” Richard Helms), and one can appreciate the 
			difficulty that an honest UFO researcher has in ferreting out the 
			truth.[9] 
			 
			
			Now, let us take a few logical steps. The 
			UFO problem emerged into 
			the national consciousness in 1947, or thereabouts. Not long 
			afterward, a lot of people began asking a lot of questions. The 
			government wasn’t answering, and so the people began to band 
			together to find out the answers for themselves. They started 
			forming groups.  
			
			  
			
			And this is where things get just a bit curious. The 
			thing that was most threatened by the UFO/alien issue seems to have 
			been the Standard Monotheistic Religions. Religion seems to be a 
			necessary component of political control. Social control - that is 
			the mainstay of religion - was most definitely under threat. In 
			fact, what seems to be true is that it is not even clear that 
			religions - as we know them - would have survived a full disclosure. 
			So the logical conclusion is that part of the main reason for the 
			cover-up was to “protect the religious status quo” - or to 
			create a 
			new "religion" by which masses of people could be controlled. 
			 
			As things stood at the time, protecting the religious status quo - 
			mainly the social controls that stem from religion - was iffy at 
			best. After a century of scholarly investigation into many religious 
			texts, and the raising of many questions about the “old time 
			religion,” there were a lot of people in society who were most 
			definitely turning away from religious dogma.  
			
			  
			
			It’s fairly simple to 
			take the next logical step and see that a combining of the questions 
			of those who were disenchanted with religion, with the questions of 
			those who wanted to know just what the heck was going on in terms of 
			possible “extraterrestrials,” was seen as a dangerous and explosive 
			mixture.  
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			Something had 
			to be done 
			
			 
			The activities of  COINTELPRO in attempting to neutralize political 
			opposition have been pretty well exposed. But we are now considering 
			the fact that, in addition to political activists, it seems that 
			 
			COINTELPRO has particularly targeted groups that are seeking 
			the 
			truth about the interactions between the US government and Ultra 
			Terrestrials, or so-called “aliens.” That a long-time cover-up of 
			these matters has been in effect is certainly evident to any careful 
			researcher.  
			 
			The COINTELPRO files show the U.S. Government targeted a very broad 
			range of religious, labor and community groups opposed to any of its 
			agendas, and it is only logical to assume that the same type of 
			operation would be created to cover up the “alien agenda.” Such a 
			theoretical  COINTELPRO operation also goes far in explaining why, 
			when the sincere researcher of UFO phenomena enters this field, he 
			or she discovers only lies, lies, and more lies; confusion and 
			disinformation. That is most definitely the signature of
			 COINTELPRO.
			 
			 
			Considering all of this, would anybody care to suggest that it did 
			not also occur to the Powers that Be that the chief means of 
			diverting attention and covering up the truth would be to literally 
			fund and create the “New Age” and “Human Potential movement" so that 
			it would follow their agenda of keeping secrets? So that it would 
			create a New Religion of Aliens that THEY controlled? 
			 
			In other words, it is extremely likely that the most successful and 
			popular of Metaphysical Mavens and New Age Impresarios
			are  
			COINTELPRO agents - either conscious or dupes of those who are. The 
			objective seems to be to attack and “neutralize” those who are 
			seeking the answers. Those who are sincere, who do bona fide 
			research and seek to explicate the truth, are infiltrated, attacked, 
			and marginalized according to standard  COINTELPRO procedures.  
			 
			What all of this seems to suggest is that the Powers That Be (PTB) 
			have developed COINTELPRO to an all new level of Social Shaping, 
			Cultural Brainwashing, and the main targets of this activity would 
			include virtually anyone who is seeking the truth about the shifting 
			realities of our world. The cases of  COINTELPRO 
			activities against 
			political groups must be no more than the tip of the iceberg, given 
			that the great bulk of  COINTELPRO-type operations remain secret 
			until long after their damage has been done.  
			
			  
			
			
			By all indications, 
			domestic covert operations have become a permanent feature of U.S. 
			politics and Social Programming, and it is hardly likely, 
			considering the evidence, that the New Age and Human Potential 
			fields are exempt. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			The implications of this are truly alarming 
			
			  
			
			Those who manage to get close to the truth of these matters, despite the many obstacles in 
			their path, face National covert campaigns to discredit and 
			disrupt 
			their research and reputations. Clearly, COINTELPRO and similar 
			operations under other names also work to distort academic and 
			popular perceptions of the problems facing our world.  
			
			  
			
			They have done 
			enormous damage to the search for the Truth.  
			
				
				“Terrorism is changing. New adversaries, new motivations and new 
			rationales have surfaced in recent years to challenge much of the 
			conventional wisdom...” wrote Dr. Bruce Hoffman, Director of 
				RAND. 
			 
			 
			
			And he was right. The only problem is, the reader is largely unaware 
			of the definition of “new adversaries” that might be implied in his 
			remarks. A careful reading of Richard Dolan’s book will immediately 
			reveal what Dr. Hoffman really meant in his remarks about 
			“terrorism.” 
			  
			
			Based on the documents assembled by 
			Dolan, it is obvious that the 
			governments of the world do indeed see the UFO problem as a 
			very, 
			very serious matter. In the course of assembling the documents and 
			reporting the events, Dolan came to the inescapable conclusion that 
			there exists an “Above Top Secret” group with access to all 
			available UFO data, and that this group “straddled” the worlds of 
			government, military, and industry.  
			
			  
			
			The evidence proves that the 
			military created a complete fiction for public consumption designed 
			to convince the masses that the UFO problem was “nonexistent.” They 
			were assisted in pulling the wool over the eyes of the public by 
			“heavy handed official media and culture,” and they were obviously 
			under orders to consistently and repeatedly “debunk” the idea that 
			aliens were ensconced in our world. What seems to be true is that 
			most of our elected officials are as much victims of the debunking 
			as anybody else. And the same is true about mainstream science.  
			 
			Dolan writes: 
			
				
				Next to the bureau, the military intelligence services became the 
			most important component of the domestic intelligence scene. Army 
			intelligence had nearly unlimited funds, extensive manpower, 
			specialized personnel, deep planning and training resources, and the 
			most sophisticated communications and data processing capability. 
				 
				
				[...] 
				 
				
				  
				
				The army’s intelligence surveillance did not focus on tactical 
			and reconnaissance data, but on political and ideological 
			intelligence within the United States. (This was wholly illegal.) 
				 
				
				[...]
  Then there was the 
				CIA. By the late 1960s, there were more spies 
			than diplomats in the State Department, or employees in the
				Department of Labor.  
				
				[...]  
				
				  
				
				When the Weather Underground, a 
				radical 
			splinter of the SDS, had an “acid test” to detect agent’s 
			provocateurs, they had no idea that the CIA had been tripping on 
				LSD 
			throughout the 1950s, creating a special caste of “enlightened 
			agents” for precisely these occasions.  [Based on this, we wonder about “agents provocateur” in the 
				New Age 
			and UFO community who are “specially trained?”] 
  The agency continued its work on mind control. Following the work of 
				Dr. Jose Delgado [experiments in] Electrical Stimulation of the 
			Brain [were conducted.] This involves implanting electrodes into the 
			brain and body, with the result that the subject’s memory, impulses, 
			and feelings could all be controlled. Moreover, ESB could evoke 
			hallucinations, as well as fear and pleasure. “It could literally 
			manipulate the human will at will,”  
				
				[said Dr. Robert Keefe, a 
			neurosurgeon at Tulane University.] 
			 
			
			In 1968, George Estabrooks, another spook scientist, spoke 
			indiscreetly to a reporter for the Providence Evening Bulletin. 
			 
			
				
				“The 
			key to creating an effective spy or assassin, rests in creating a 
			multiple personality with the aid of hypnosis,” a procedure which he 
			described as “child’s play.” 
			 
			
			By early 1969, teams within the 
			CIA were running a number of bizarre 
			experiments in mind control under the name Operation Often. In 
			addition to the normal assortment of chemists, biologists, and 
			conventional scientists, the operation employed psychics and experts 
			in demonology. 
			 
			Over at the NSA, all one can say with certainty is that its budget 
			dwarfed all others within the intelligence community.[10] 
			 
			Dolan documents how the intelligence organizations of the United 
			States - and very likely other countries who are working in concert 
			with them, though outwardly they may pretend to be oppositional - 
			have conducted:
			 
			
				
					
						- 
						
						terminal mind-control experiments 
						 
						- 
						
						biological 
			spraying of American cities  
						- 
						
						human plutonium and syphilis 
			injections  
						- 
						
						illegal communications interception 
						 
						- 
						
						nationwide 
			domestic surveillance of private citizens  
						- 
						
						political assassinations 
			and coups  
						- 
						
						ongoing media manipulation 
						 
						- 
						
						outright public lying on a 
			continual basis, most especially in regards to UFOs  
					 
				 
			 
			
			The above 
			organizations, via any and all means available, made sure that, to 
			the public at large, UFOs and aliens were a “dead issue.”  
			 
			Scientist and UFO disclosure advocate James McDonald said in 1969:
			 
			
				
				“I am enough of a realist to sense that, unless this 
				AAAS symposium 
			succeeds in making the scientific community aware of the seriousness 
			of the UFO problem, little response to any call for new 
			investigations is likely to appear.”  
			 
			
			McDonald presented a brilliant paper entitled “Science in Default: 
			Twenty-two Years of Inadequate UFO Investigations.”
			Dolan comments that it was “perhaps the most damning statement about
			UFO research ever made.”  
			
			  
			
			Speaking before the convention at
			Boston’s 
			Sheraton Plaza Hotel, McDonald came down hard on everyone: 
			Condon, Menzel, Hynek, and finally the scientific establishment itself. He 
			said: 
			
				
				No scientifically adequate investigation of the 
				UFO problem has been 
			carried out during the entire twenty-two years that have now passed 
			since the first extensive wave of sightings of unidentified aerial 
			objects in the summer of 1947. ...In my opinion, the UFO problem, 
			far from being the nonsense problem that many scientists have often 
			labeled it, constitutes a problem of extraordinary scientific 
			interest. The grave difficulty with essentially all past UFO studies 
			had been that they were either devoid of any substantial scientific 
			content, or else have lost their way amidst the relatively large 
			noise content that tends to obscure the real signal in the UFO 
			reports. [11] 
			 
			
			This high noise to signal ratio is, based on the evidence, the 
			direct product of the frenzied activities of the “National Security 
			State” in their promulgation of the New Age/Human Potential smoke 
			and mirrors magic show. What is also clearly evident is that this 
			noise is the fundament of the prevailing scientific doctrine. What 
			we see is that the Scientific Community - though they claim to be 
			seekers of advanced scientific truth - have been as easily duped as 
			Joe Sixpack and Shirley Seeker of Truth.  
			
			  
			
			The former is interested in 
			little more than his truck, his dog, and his weekend football game, 
			while the latter is generally looking for a lifestyle of higher 
			“experiences.” What I also suspect is that even the lower echelons 
			of the intelligence and military organizations must be included in 
			this rather large grouping of the duped and deceived sheep. 
			 
			An example of this duping of those investigating the matter from the 
			“bottom up,” is Andrew Tully who wrote The Super Spies, supposedly 
			an early report on the NSA. He, and many who have followed him, 
			suggest that the UFO is an “intelligence” device and that it evolved 
			out of Nazi Secrets brought to the US under 
			
			Project Paperclip. [12] 
			 
			Dolan lays out the evidence and disabuses us of the notion that the 
			UFO activity could be human, technological breakthroughs as such 
			naive conspiracy theorists propose. As he says, “all of the 
			indicators point to a definitive NO.” He then points out that, every 
			single person who actually studies the UFO problem [yours truly 
			included - who began as a flaming skeptic] - becomes convinced that 
			it IS a problem of Alien invasion of our planet.  
			 
			Every official study of UFOs persuaded the researchers that 
			aliens 
			were the explanation for the data. But that data has been denied, 
			and when denial no longer worked, it was obscured by the noise, the 
			smoke and mirrors that prevail today in UFO research and the 
			New Age 
			and Human Potential movements.  
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			Do we think that this is coincidence? 
			
			 
			Another evident production of “noise” is the nonsense that passes 
			today as “channeling” or “alien contacts”. Indeed, our own work 
			involves what can certainly be called inspirational material, but as 
			we have noted repeatedly, it is not your usual "channeled" 
			info, nor 
			do we treat it as such. For us, a controlled channeling experiment 
			is the 10% inspiration that must be matched by the 90% perspiration 
			of real research.  
			
			  
			
			
			With a broad historical awareness of the facts, a 
			firm grounding in the realization that most of what is out there is 
			deliberate disinformation, the individual who surveys the plethora 
			of “alternative information” in books and on the internet, can 
			easily recognize the “noise” factor produced by the Secret State. 
			Dolan tells us: 
			
				
				By the early 1970s, there were already means available to alter the 
			moods of unsuspecting persons. A pocket-sized transmitter generating 
			electromagnetic energy at less than 100 milliwatts could do the job. 
			This is no pie-in-the-sky theory. In 1972, Dr. Gordon J.F. McDonald 
			testified before the House Subcommittee on Oceans and International 
			Environment on the issue of 
				
				electromagnetic weapons used for 
				mind 
			control and mental disruption.  
				
				  
				
				He stated: 
				
					
					[T]he basic notion was to create, between the electrically charged 
			ionosphere in the higher part of the atmosphere and conducting 
			layers of the surface of the Earth, this neutral cavity, to create 
			waves, electrical waves that would be tuned to the brain waves. 
			...About ten cycles per second. ...You can produce changes in 
			behavioral patterns or in responses. 
				 
				
				The following year, 
				Dr. Joseph C. Sharp, at Walter Reed Hospital, 
			while in a soundproof room, was able to hear spoken words broadcast 
			by ‘pulsed microwave audiogram.’ These words were broadcast to him 
			without any implanted electronic translation device. Rather, they 
			reached him by direct transmission to the brain. [13] 
			 
			
			Consider the "electrically charged ionosphere in the higher part of 
			the atmosphere and conducting layers of the surface of the Earth" in 
			terms of “chemtrails.” And note the comments of our own 
			experimentally obtained material regarding the above - not from 
			“aliens,” but rather from “us in the 
			future.”

				Q: (L) But, the fact still remains, in my opinion, that there are a 
			LOT, LOT, LOT of planes flying above us in the past few years! 
			Whether they are dumping anything on our heads, or what, there are 
			an extreme number of planes flying in these upper level criss-cross 
			patterns. Now, whether they are just playing war-games, or they are 
			spy planes, they are doing SOMETHING!  What is the reason for all of 
			this upper level flying that results in these criss-crossed contrails that everybody is seeing? 
				 A: A lot of it is “training maneuver” oriented. 
				 
				
				 Q: Why are they training so many pilots? What are they preparing 
			for?  A: Military budgets must be justified, you know. Review 
			“Military-Industrial Complex 101.”  
				
				 Q: So, this is just training flight, justification of budget, and 
			nothing more than that?  A: Well, we would not say “not anything more to it than that,” but, 
			when you say “M-IC,” you have said a lot!  
				
				 Q: Are you implying that there is a build-up of the 
				Military-Industrial Complex for a reason?  A: To preserve status quo during “peacetime.” This peace business is 
			not very profitable, you know.  
				
				 Q: Does that suggest that they are building up to set off a war so 
			they can make more money?  A: Maybe if indeed, and if the populous can be hoodwinked. But, 
			fortunately, the public is less hoodwink able. Maybe the real enemy 
			is “out there”, rather than “over there.” Was it not always? 
				 
				
				 Q: Does any of this increased aircraft activity have anything to do 
			with the increased awareness and activities of aliens in and around 
			our planet?  A: As always. But, this awareness is factionalized and 
			compartmentalized.  
			 
			
			The C’s comments take on a whole new meaning in light of the present 
			situation - 9-11 and all that - as well as Bush’s drive for “war.” 
			We also note the most interesting remark that “awareness of the 
			activities of aliens in and around our planet” is “factionalized and 
			compartmentalized.” And this is where we come to the  COINTELPRO 
			function of creating bogus organizations to attack or disrupt bona 
			fide groups.  
			 
			We have already noted the fact that research in Electrical 
			Stimulation of the brain could produce hallucinations. If you put 
			hallucinations together with words, you can produce just about 
			anything that you want in the way of “noise” to obscure the truth - 
			including the “shape-shifting reptoids-as-humans,” or a “gray dude 
			in the bathroom,” or a “Guardian Alliance,” or a “Nibiruan Council,” 
			or an “Ashtar Command,” or talking whales and dolphins, etc. Y 
			
			  
			
			ou 
			name it - they can produce it via voices in the head and 
			hallucinations and transmissions of frequencies that produce 
			ecstatic states, healings, or whatever. And so it is that the human 
			element of the Cosmic COINTELPRO operation manages their many 
			“agents” of disinformation - pied pipers leading the masses of New 
			Age seekers - so that whatever the real truth is remains their 
			secret. And that’s exactly the way they want it. 
			 
			Notice the dates in the above quote from Dolan’s book telling us 
			that in the early 70s certain technologies were being developed that 
			could “broadcast” signals over the entire nation. We certainly 
			suspect that this technology was developed further in the subsequent 
			years. The question is: what did they do with it? Better yet, what 
			ARE they doing with it? 
			 
			What strikes me as an essential turning point in this  COINTELPRO
			operation was the beginning of the “expose” of two particular items 
			that hold sway in certain “conspiracy” circles to this very day: 
			Alien Abduction and Satanic Ritual Abuse. 
			 
			The Gray alien scenario was “leaked” by Budd 
			Hopkins. Whitley Strieber’s alien abduction books, including Communion, followed a 
			few years after. Prior to the publication of these books, the 
			ubiquitous “Gray aliens” had never been seen before. In fact, a 
			review of the history of “contact” cases show that the type and 
			variety and behavior of “aliens” around the world are quite 
			different across the board. But, along came Budd, followed by 
			Whitley and his glaring alien on the cover, and suddenly 
			the Grays 
			were everywhere. 
			 
			In respect of Whitley and his Grays, allow me to emphasize one of 
			Dolan’s comments quoted above:  
			
				
				“By early 1969, teams within the 
				CIA 
			were running a number of bizarre experiments in mind control under 
			the name Operation Often. In addition to the normal assortment of 
			chemists, biologists, and conventional scientists, the operation 
			employed psychics and experts in demonology.”  
			 
			
			This, of course, 
			brings us to the parallel event of that period of time: Satanic 
			ritual abuse. SRA is the name given to the allegedly widespread 
			systematic abuse of children (and others) by Satanists. 
			 
			As it happens, keeping our timeline in mind, it was in the mid to 
			late 1970s that the allegations of the existence of a 
			“well-organized intergenerational satanic cult whose members 
			sexually molest, torture and murder children across the United 
			States” began to emerge in America. There was a panic regarding 
			SRA 
			triggered by a fictional book called Michelle Remembers. The book 
			was published as fact but has subsequently been shown by at least 
			three independent investigators to be a hoax.  
			 
			No hard evidence of Satanic Ritual Abuse in North America has ever 
			been found, just as no hard evidence of abductions by Gray aliens 
			has ever been found. Nevertheless, the allegations were widely 
			publicized on radio and television talk shows, including Geraldo 
			Rivera’s show. 
			 
			Religious fundamentalists promoted the hysteria and, just as during 
			the Inquisitions, endless self-proclaimed “moral entrepreneurs” both 
			fed the fires of prosecution and earned a good living from it. Most 
			of the early accusations of satanic ritual abuse were aimed at 
			working-class people with limited resources, and with a few 
			exceptions, the media and other groups that are ordinarily skeptical 
			either remained silent or joined in the feeding frenzy of 
			accusations. The few professionals who spoke out against the 
			hysteria were systematically attacked and discredited by government 
			agencies and private organizations.  
			 
			The question has to be asked: If there are thousands of baseless 
			accusations of SRA and thousands upon thousands of cases of 
			unverifiable alien abductions, how do they originate? 
			 
			Most of the SRA cases are said to originate with children. Since 
			there is a widespread belief that children wouldn’t make up stories 
			of eating other children or being forced to have sex with giraffes 
			after flying in an airplane while they were supposed to be in day 
			care, the stories are often taken at face value by naive 
			prosecutors, therapists, police officers and parents. Researchers 
			have found that children are unlikely to invent stories of satanic 
			ritual abuse on their own. So, where do the stories come from?  
			 
			Accusing the therapists, district attorneys, police and parents of 
			inducing such stories from children doesn’t seem to be a very 
			productive answer. Yes, it may happen in some cases, but certainly 
			doesn’t seem likely in the vast number of cases. It is also 
			certainly true that there ARE cases where something dreadful has 
			gone on in the way of SRA, but for the most part, it almost looks 
			like "copycat cases" where individuals are imitating what they hear 
			in the wildest of claims. In short, it seems to be similar to the 
			New Age community producing "contacts with aliens" as 
			noise to 
			conceal the REAL alien activity. 
			 
			Now, let’s go back and think about our timeline. As it happens, 
			Michelle Remembers was published in 1980, co-written by Michelle 
			Smith and Lawrence Pazder, M.D.  
			
			  
			
			Budd Hopkins finished 
			Missing Time 
			in December of 1980, with an “afterward” by Aphrodite Clamar, Ph.D. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			It’s looking pretty “coincidental” from where I sit 
			
			 
			What is occurs to me - putting the pieces of the puzzle together - 
			is that there is some general kind of imagery being widely broadcast 
			in the “neutral cavity” described above, and that it depends a lot 
			on the individual and their cultural programming how it “takes.” 
			 
			
			  
			
			
			When we consider the fact that Operation Often employed “the normal 
			assortment of chemists, biologists, and conventional scientists” and 
			“psychics and experts in demonology,” we begin to think that 
			electronic  COINTELPRO includes a whole supermarket of 
			new “beliefs” 
			- Gray aliens and “alien contacts” for the New Age crowd and a whole 
			range of “sexual/ritual abuse scenarios” for those who are not open 
			to the alien shtick. 
			 
			Is the whole thing beamed out as some sort of “free-formal imaging,” 
			and, based on the conscious acceptance of one or another version, it 
			takes on its individual characteristics in the minds of the millions 
			of recipients? In other words, is it picked up by the subconscious 
			in alpha states or in sleep, perceived as traumatic in a general 
			scenario that can then be interpreted by the individual belief 
			systems in terms of either being examined and or sexually 
			manipulated by aliens on a table or “raped on an altar” by 
			Satanists? Do some individuals pick up this imagery and take on the 
			part of the Satanists, the abusers, in a copycat way as described 
			above?  
			
			  
			
			
			Are the public productions - books by Hopkins, Strieber, and 
			the SRA scandals, just variations on the closing of the circuit by 
			the conscious mind accepting or creating one or the other scenario 
			as the explanation for the constant bombardment of such signals as 
			described in Dolan’s book? Is it the job of  COINTELPRO to create 
			“bogus organizations” that produce various “explanations” to close 
			the circuit and “make it real” in the person’s mind? Even including 
			Satanic cults such as 
			
			The Temple of Set, run by 
			Lt. Col. Michael Aquino? Aquino, alleged to have recently retired from an active 
			military role, was long the leader of an Army psychological warfare 
			section which drew on his 'expertise' and personal practices in 
			brainwashing, Satanism, Nazism, homosexual pedophilia and 
			murder.
			 
			 
			One has to wonder about the name of the program: Operation Often in 
			terms of the claims of abductees - victims of repeated and “often” 
			abductions - as well as the claims of those who suggest the SRA 
			explanation. In either case, the believer is being “herded” into a 
			“response camp” of either faith in alien saviors, or faith in Jesus 
			to save from them the demonic/satanic Illuminati, Jews, Pagans - 
			take your pick. 
			 
			Again, let me make it clear that I am in no way suggesting that 
			“abductions” or some whacked out satanic rituals do not ever take 
			place somewhere, under some circumstances. What I am suggesting is 
			that the Gray Alien and SRA phenomenon most certainly was not 
			restricted in any way by COINTELPRO, and may indeed be the smoke and 
			mirrors that hides a far more insidious state of affairs. 
			 
			In essence, Dolan’s book shows us the history of how the many levels 
			of society have been duped and deceived - or directly controlled - 
			from the average citizen, to the seeker of higher truths, to the 
			scions of science and industry, to the hallowed halls of government. 
			Each “type” has been targeted in the way most likely to “manage” 
			them best. Those who cannot be “managed” generally die, as scientist 
			James McDonald - and others - did. But all the while, the 
			UFOs kept 
			coming, and people kept seeing them, and they kept asking questions. 
			 
			In April 1971, an engineering research magazine, Industrial 
			Research, published the results of a poll in which 80 percent of its 
			members rejected the Condon Report; 76 percent believed that the 
			government was concealing UFO facts; 32 percent believed that 
			UFOs were extraterrestrial. Poll or no poll, the 
			CIA continued to lie 
			about its UFO interests. [...] 
			 
			The worst story of 1971 was the demise of 
			
			James McDonald. 
			[Atmospheric physicist from the University of Arizona.] As far as 
			anyone could tell, McDonald was fine all through 1970 and into 1971. 
			On March 2, 1971, he testified as an expert in atmospheric physics 
			at the House committee on Appropriations regarding the supersonic 
			transport (SST) and its potentially harmful atmospheric effects. 
			McDonald’s opponents questioned his credentials and ridiculed him as 
			someone who believed in “little men flying around the sky.” Laughter 
			broke out several times. 
			 
			Shortly after this incident, McDonald shot himself in the head and 
			became blind. He was committed to the psychiatric ward of the VA 
			medical Center in Tucson. In June, he signed himself out. On Sunday 
			morning, June 13, a woman in south Tucson, identifying herself as a 
			doctor, said a deranged blind man had taken a cab to the area. She 
			wanted to know where the driver had dropped him off, and she made 
			several calls. Meanwhile, a married couple and their children, 
			walking along a shallow creek, found McDonald’s body under a bridge 
			at 11:40 a.m. A .38 caliber revolver was in the sand, near his head. 
			A brief note attributed his suicide to marriage and family problems. 
			[...] 
			 
			We know that many intelligence agencies were skilled in “creating” 
			suicides. But, one might ask, wasn’t McDonald’s mental condition 
			already deteriorating? Jerome Clark stated that McDonald was ready 
			to “crack” in the aftermath of the SST hearings. But what caused 
			this? Embarrassment at the SST hearings? His marriage? Perhaps, one 
			supposes, but both of these explanations feel flimsy. Without 
			exception, those who knew McDonald described him as possessing great 
			integrity and courage. Was he really the type of person to commit 
			suicide? [14] 
			 
			McDonald had been described as a man who was “afraid of nothing.”  What seems to be so is that this was why he was destroyed.

			written that  McDonald was considered by the Air Force to be an 
			“outstanding nuisance.” 
			 
			With the mind control arsenal that has been described at their 
			disposal, we have a good idea of what “they” can do to the mind. 
			Even the strongest. Courage and integrity, it seems, are no 
			protection. We would like to note another curious death - that of 
			Edward Ruppelt. After years as an advocate of disclosure, he 
			suddenly did an about face - re-wrote his book recanting his belief 
			that UFOs were extraterrestrial craft, and was 
			dead within a year at 
			a very young age.  
			 
			It looks to me as though, if they can’t corrupt you, they kill you, 
			and if they can corrupt you, they still kill you so you won’t have a 
			chance to change your mind and recant your recantation like Jacques 
			de Molay did when the Templars were destroyed. Those who get close 
			to the belly of the beast are generally subjected to a new 
			“approach” it seems. And that approach is the biggest betrayal of 
			all. 
			 
			Many important and influential people have attested to the reality 
			of the UFO phenomenon as an “alien reality.” Within the military 
			organizations, those who affirm the “alien hypothesis” are 
			widespread and numerous. But, as Dolan shows us, they cannot discuss 
			those views without risking the penalties of imprisonment and stiff 
			fines.  
			 
			In the present day, we have 
			Steven Greer’s “Disclosure Project.” 
			Based on the mail I get, it seems that many in the New Age/UFO 
			community think that this is a great and novel idea. However, 
			history shows that it has been tried before. The one thing about 
			Greer’s effort that suggests it is just more and better  COINTELPRO 
			is his attachment to the “aliens are here to help us” idea which is 
			directly contradicted by history, though widely promoted by most “contactees.” 
			 
			
			  
			
			
			Even 
			Linda Howe, for a long time the most reputable of careful 
			researchers - and no stranger to the machinations of the 
			
			Secret 
			State - seems to have fallen for this one - or  COINTELPRO. It is 
			also now being promoted in Fate Magazine by Rosemary Guiley, who has 
			the odor of  COINTELPRO about her with her notable connections to 
			military “agents.” Jerome Clark, quoted above, is also a 
			regular 
			contributor to Fate. 
			 
			Let me make it clear at this point that I am convinced that a lot of 
			honest, sincere, hard-working individuals are being duped and/or 
			controlled without being fully aware of it. 
			 
			Dolan documents the failure of civilian groups in their efforts to 
			really “end UFO secrecy.”  NICAP had prominent and active members, 
			connections to Congress and the military, and their effort continued 
			for over ten years. NICAP fought diligently for congressional 
			hearings, and yet every time they got “close” to bringing it to the 
			table for public consideration, the congressional sponsorship 
			“backed off” and reversed their support.  
			 
			What kind of group is it that can control our government officials 
			in this way? An even deeper question might be: What kind of group is 
			it that can control the media, the military, the CIA, the 
			FBI, NSA, 
			and even the President? What do they do to intimidate and dominate 
			ethical and substantial persons in positions of authority? Whatever 
			it is, we would certainly like to know because it suggests that they 
			are hiding something so significant that even hints of it behind 
			closed doors can send the most powerful congressmen running with 
			their tails tucked between their legs.  
			 
			This brings us back to the problem of the 
			
			Secret State and its 
			agenda. Some people believe that this secrecy is absolutely 
			essential. They say that the public simply could not handle the 
			truth about aliens. They say that there is no reason to spoil 
			people’s lives with the truth because there is nothing that the 
			average person could do about it anyway. Is that really true? Would 
			there be so much effort to conceal the alien agenda if disclosure of 
			the truth wasn’t harmful to that agenda? 
			 
			Dolan’s chronological history of the actual interaction between 
			UFOs 
			and the public and the corresponding behavior of the military, the 
			intelligence community, the media, the scientific community in its 
			interaction with the public, make this abundantly clear. Dolan 
			writes: 
			
				
				Some believe this is, as it ought to be. Can the public really 
				handle the truth about aliens? If the presence of others constitutes 
			a threat to humanity, for example, what could the average person 
			even do about it? There are those who believe that secrecy about 
			UFOs is in the public’s best interest. [15] 
			 
			
			What is clearly evident, and most especially so in the past year or 
			two, is that the “public interest” is not the concern of those 
			making these decisions. As Dolan rightly says, secrecy is being 
			utilized not to protect the public, but to protect those keeping the 
			secrets - the “Above Top Secret” group - and very likely even the 
			aliens themselves.  
			 
			When we consider the modus operandi of the intelligence community, 
			in its historical perspective, what we see is that, at every level, 
			right up to the very top, there is control and manipulation. This 
			leads me to suggest that even those at the top level of the human 
			Consortium are being duped and deceived and are as unable and/or 
			unwilling to consider that possibility as those at the lower levels.
			 
			 
			It seems obvious from the documentary evidence as well as the 
			behavior of the military in response to UFOs and the “alien matter,” 
			that the aliens do have an agenda, and that - at some level in the 
			layers of secrecy - there are those who know - at least on a “need 
			to know” basis - what that agenda is. It seems abundantly evident 
			that the secrecy has been enjoined on this group by the aliens 
			themselves. What is more, a careful assessment of the evidence does 
			not suggest a benevolent agenda.  
			 
			As a result of the manipulations of this “Consortium,” the majority 
			of Americans are inculcated into the fiction of a representative 
			government - a democracy - and that our scientists and 
			representatives are “taking care of business” for us, and even if 
			they are sometimes corrupt, they aren’t as bad as a totalitarian 
			regime. It has become most definitely obvious in the past couple of 
			years that this is not the case - and probably never was. We don’t 
			even really elect our representatives. It’s all a sham. But the 
			fiction propagated by the media has clouded the ability of the 
			American people to see their society and government for what it 
			really is: an oligarchy that pretends to be a democracy to placate 
			and deceive the public.  
			 
			To those who suggest that it doesn’t really matter since it is an 
			efficient way to organize and manage millions of people, let us 
			suggest that it is suicidal to think that an oligarchy is not 
			primarily interested in maintaining its own position to the 
			exclusion of all other considerations. When we consider the 
			evidence, we see that the groups in question have never acted in the 
			best interests of the public. If you doubt this, spend some time 
			reading about nonconsensual human experimentation. And so, logically 
			speaking, there is no reason to even suggest that the secrecy 
			surrounding the “alien reality” is any different.  
			 
			Dolan notes that, as a result of the concerted “debunking” of 
			UFOs 
			perpetrated on a populace that has been mind manipulated and dumbed 
			down by public “education” for a very long time, our society has 
			become extraordinarily schizophrenic about UFOs. At the level of 
			“officialdom,” as in academia, mainstream media, government and so 
			forth, UFOs are either ignored or treated as a joke. You won’t find 
			UFOs or Aliens - or their repeated invasion of sensitive airspace - 
			discussed on the nightly news. You won’t find Ted Koppel analyzing 
			them as a threat to National Security. And this state of affairs is 
			totally bizarre because it is abundantly - overwhelmingly - clear 
			and evident that our military and intelligence organizations 
			consider them to be so important that information about them is 
			classified “Above Top Secret.”  
			 
			However, being classified “Above Top Secret” does not seem to matter 
			to the aliens. They arrogantly do as they please and leave the 
			“clean up” to their human lackeys the same way some media 
			personalities have been reported to destroy hotel rooms, and then 
			have their accountants write checks to cover the damages, while 
			their agents give press releases that deny any such thing ever 
			happened.  
			 
			This brings us back to the efforts of COINTELPRO. Since the military 
			is in the position of dealing with beings of such arrogance that 
			their checks don’t cover the damage they do, the “press releases” 
			are issued in the form of diversion and division. UFOs and the 
			“alien reality” are promoted in ways that simply do not relate to 
			the documentary evidence or the factual data. UFOs and 
			aliens are 
			given cachet in the New Age and metaphysical communities, and groups 
			studying them or “channeling” them are “managed” so that 
			the 
			possibility of exposure of the Truth is completely minimized in the 
			plethora of conflicting, generated “beliefs.” At the same time, 
			there are organizations that are set up to operate as “professional 
			debunkers” and disinformation artists. Smoke and mirrors and endless 
			confusion.  
			 
			What is evident from the documents and statements of those “in on 
			the secret,” is that the current “popularity” of aliens and New Age 
			presentations of the subject are the direct result of deliberate 
			infiltration by intelligence personnel who are continually “spinning 
			the wheel” of lies and distortion.  
			 
			UFOs have national security implications for a lot of reasons, not 
			the least of which is that they have involved military and 
			industrial personnel of many nations around the globe. This 
			situation has existed for over fifty years. In fact, a careful study 
			of history shows an intersection between UFOs and the military for 
			hundreds, if not thousands of years!  
			
			  
			
			Unauthorized airspace 
			violations continue to occur; attempted interceptions repeatedly 
			take place; and the secrecy orders are more severe now than ever.
			 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			
			
			We have to ask ourselves why this is so? 
			  
			
			
			
			 
			If the military organizations are as interested in 
			UFOs and Aliens 
			as we know them to be based on the evidence, and if they are in the 
			dark about them, as the evidence also suggests, would they not be 
			utilizing the many claimed “alien contacts” among the New Age 
			community as resources if there was the possibility that such 
			sources really were in contact with the “real aliens” in and about 
			the planet as they claim? There are certainly many of these contactees that claim “extreme military interest" in their work. 
			 
			
			  
			
			
			However, based on the facts of the operations of the National 
			Security State, we can pretty well objectively assess that if this 
			were true, such contactees would not be out there promulgating their 
			information.  
			
			  
			
			
			That they often operate unmolested, and even achieve 
			great popularity is compelling evidence that their “information” is 
			useless to the military, if not created by it. What seems to be true 
			is that most contactees and channelers are dupes of the military 
			cover-up - victims of  COINTELPRO - created to generate the noise 
			that hides the signal of the true Alien Reality.  
			
			  
			
			
			In short, the 
			majority of claims of channelers, contactees, new age gurus, 
			UFO 
			researchers, and the like, both in books and on the internet, about 
			the “alien reality,” is COINTELPRO at its finest. 
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			Take that to the bank 
			
			 
			One thing is clear: the UFOs themselves are not under the control of 
			the military - or anybody else. But that the Consortium continues to 
			debunk and cover it up - in the face of its violations of their own 
			airspace - suggests to us again the analogy of arrogant and powerful 
			Masters of Reality, aided and abetted by their military and 
			intelligence organization servants who, all the while they are 
			obeying the powerful overlords, seek to keep everything quiet while 
			they try desperately to discover the secrets of power so as to 
			arrogate it to themselves.  
			
			  
			
			
			And it seems evident that, in the present 
			time, the game is afoot in the citadels of Power and Secrets. 
			Something is happening and the servants of the alien masters are 
			running scared.  
			
			  
			
			
			They are trying to cement controls, to solidify 
			their power base, because Something Wicked This Way Comes.
