Part I

Cheri Seymour’s prologue to The Last Circle overviewed how versions of PROMIS software were a “two-way” backdoor integration for tracking money laundering and intelligence data of countries:  Danny Casolaro’s investigation into this led to his death.  The overall operation was compared to an Octopus with many tentacles, “…highest levels of government allegedly in collusion with Organized Crime….it all boiled down to money laundering….use of PROMIS…” in a much larger program where the National Security Agency and Canada spied on both American and Canadian citizens through Echelon Intel/spy satellite and crime cartels such as the Music Corporation of America. “Danny Casolaro’s Octopus….has reached Jules Verne proportions and grows daily….”

DRUGS AND MORE

Seymour started with mysterious deaths and drug dealings in Mariposa County, California and recounted comments by Vivian L. Wagner of DIG (Decency in Government) and her letter to President Reagan about the missteps DIG encountered in the court system.  Her frank opinion was rewarded by a prospective meeting, but her husband, attorney Chuck Wagner decided to “close shop,” deserts his practice and disappears.  Seymour never found out why.

Cheri Seymour

Former FBI and CIA agent, Ted Gunderson laid out the territory of underground operations paying for arms with drugs, cocaine or heroin: The Company handled the drug end of it in the U.S as self-supporting outside of Congress. Michael Riconosciuto implicated Wackenhut Security Corporation. The mystery led to “government sanctioned drug operations” (pp. 39-40). “….illegal overseas arms shipments, espionage, CIA drug trafficking, biological warfare development, computer software development…theft, money laundering and corruption at the highest levels of government.”

Danny Casolaro referred to it as “The Octopus”:  Inslaw software, Iran/Contra, the BCCI scandal, the MCA Entertainment Corporation, Cabazon arms on the reservation and desert land near Indio, California.

DARK SIDE OF SECURITY

A joint business venture between Wackenhut International and the Cabazon Indians allowed high-tech arms exported to third-world countries from their Federally-exempt reservation.  Wackenhut compiled “dossiers” on 2.5 to 4 million Americans in 1966 – one in 46 Americans then living.

Wackenhut Security

https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_wackenhut06.htm

Casolaro claimed to have inside information about Inslaw-PROMIS, October Surprise Scandal, BCCI, Iran/Contra Affair, and other front companies. Adnaw Khashoggi had connections with Dodi Fayed who dated the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and died in a car crash on August 31, 1997:  Adnan and Dodi were both involved in “front companies.”

The “web” of The Octopus led to drug trafficking in the Golden Triangle and the Nugan Hand Bank, as well as the CIA-owned Air America. Michael Riconosciuto, who played intimate parts in all aspects of the Octopus Mysteries from the PROMIS software to the Wackenhut/Cabazon cabal, lived near Tacoma, Washington in 1991 and had connections with the famed 1947 Maury Island UFO Incident and Fred Crisman, intelligence operative.   Seymour mentions none of this, however.

Michael Riconosciuto

TACOMA, UFO, KENNEDY

Fred Crisman was a Korean War veteran and OSS (precursor to the CIA) operative that was party to the June 21, 1947, Maury Island, Washington UFO incident. Crisman obtained and camouflaged UFO residue that led to the deaths of Army Air Corps Officers Brown and Davidson.  Because of Crisman’s intrepid history (going back as far as a fire-fight in a Burma cavern with mysterious Hobbit creatures) within the intelligence community in several situations, Crisman was called before New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison’s John Kennedy investigation as a person of interest.

Clay Shaw, a suspect in the Garrison trial, was stationed in Washington State in 1947, as was detective and FBI agent Guy Banister, who was later connected to New Orleans/Kennedy tie-ins. Shaw called Crisman shortly after Shaw’s arrest by Garrison. All had prior Intelligence connections.

Principle Players Going Back to Mid-century

Later, Michael Riconosciuto was described as a “young electronics ‘whiz’ from Tacoma”: and Riconosciuto knew Fred Crisman.

WACKENHUT-CABAZON VENTURE

The Wackenhut-Cabazon Joint Venture served the interests of the U.S intelligence community for many years.  Michael Riconosciuto became intimately involved in the workings of “The Octopus,” from Inslaw, the Cabazon-Joint Venture, Wackenhut, PROMIS software, The Company, government-sanctioned CIA, Food Machinery Corporation (FMC), FIDCO (First International Development Corporation), and world-wide front groups ringing Syria, Beirut, Cyprus and other countries.

“I handled communication protocol. All the communications and financial transactions,” said Riconosciuto. “If I could get my records in line I could show all the money flows, everything.” (p. 77)  He spoke of Swift Chips – Clearing House Interbank Payment System, Workers Bank in Columbia, dead-drops, Fin Cen, Octon Potnar, the Fresno Company, J & G Aviation, Gilbert Rodriguez and the Cali-Columbian-Drug-Cartel.

Gilbert Rodriquez and his cohort Jose Londono may have had CIA connections, operating through Miami banks such as the Northside Bank of Miami. Danny Casolaro’s investigations also focused on drug connections. Casolaro mentioned the Kuhn Sa Golden Triangle drug trade (August 8, 1991). He received death-threats on August 9.  His body was found on August 10. He had mentioned a Cali-Cartel money-laundering connection with attorney Mike Abbell. Riconosciuto mentioned the Cali-cocaine-Cartel and Columbian kingpin called Gilberto (Rodriguez).

DIRE THINGS

Riconosciuto suspected that Casolaro had come across dire things such as germ warfare technology, as found in Danny’s notes, as well as comments about slow-acting brain viruses, Mad Cow Disease, Robert Booth Nichols, Glen Shockley of FIDCO and Meridan International Logistics; the Japanese Yakuza.  Casolaro said:  “…its origins spawned thirty years ago in the shadow of the Cold War.”  Casolaro’s list of names grew:  Richard Helms, Howard Hunt, and Robert Chasen.  Riconosciuto said:  “…I know PROMIS, I know FOIMS (Field Office Information Management System – SE) inside out.  I helped develop that internal tracking audit trail…”

Clint W. Murchison had connections with strong right-wing influences; connections with FIDCO, and Robert Maheu of Howard Hughes fame.  Seymour went through a list of CIA-connected operatives at FIDCO places were DEA and CIA agents could deal in arms, use as transit points, and bootleg computer software.  “…Euramae, as run by El-Jorr, was more like a low-life social club than a secret intelligence centre…” (p. 102). FIDCO was said to be a National Security Council “front corporation.”

“Front organizations” often dealt in “technical wizardry” – or prototype military or combat equipment; Hoffman electronics (p. 103). Robert Booth Nichols was also known as “Mr. Big” – and his ROM importing business was a cover for big-time heroin trafficking from the Golden Triangle.  Booth was also a suspected hit man for the Tongs.  He had offices around the globe. He was on the Board of Directors of FIDCO.

The Golden Triangle Drug Trade

PAN AM FLIGHT 103

The Liberation of Palestine-General Command and the Syrian kingpin Al-kassar had DEA and CIA drug trafficking ties bypassed airline inspection, and placed a bomb on board the ill-fated 747 in a “controlled delivery.” Al-kassar also worked with Oliver North and Richard Secord in their weapons-contraband.

Mobster Al-Kassar

https://lockerbiecase.blogspot.com/2008/11/monzer-al-kassar.html

The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a prospective client of PROMIS in its worldwide money laundering. Said operative Lester K. Coleman: “…I became aware of the fact that DEA was using its propriety company, Euramae Trading Company, LTD., to sell to agencies of various countries in the middle east, including Cyprus, Pakistan, Syria, Kuwait, and Turkey.” The United Nations Fund for Drug Abuse Control in Vienna, Austria, was a typical front company. 

MORE DEATHS

The deaths of Ian Stuart Spiro and his wife and children in 1992 followed his connection with Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages and the pirating of software.  His name appeared in Lt. Col. Oliver North’s notebooks. Spiro’s business partner, Robert Corson, was also found dead in a motel room. This was followed by the death of Alan Michael May who had connections with the Cabazon/ Wackenhut Joint Venture. Seymour disclosed that Al Hobert, an Israeli intelligence officer, recruited Riconosciuto into the CIA and “The Company.”

Grave Site of the Ian Stuart Spiro Family

“I designed communications equipment,” said Riconosciuto. “I did a lot of software development.”

Charlie Weinberg invented the Vortex Chemical Company for Al Hobert; this activity attracted the attention of Dr. John Phillip Nichols at Wackenhut/Cabazon.  Holbert turned out to be a double Soviet/Israeli agent and Treasury agent.

WEBS

Riconosciuto’s partner, Paul Morasca, was found dead by Riconosciuto:  hog–tied and arms lashed.  Morasca was suspected of drug laundering.  Then Mary Quick was fatally shot: Quick was carrying multi-million dollar computer cards that belonged to Tyme Shares On-line Financial Clearing House. “I developed the modem, error trapping routine,” said Riconosciuto.

The “web” entailed SDS; Sigmat; P-E-R-T; EDS’s. In December 1981, Michael met with George Wackenhut.  Wrote John Connolly in SPY Magazine, September 1992:  “So, the wealthy president of a large security company with CIA ties and one of his board members meet with drug dealer turned electronics expert and a spook turned arms supplier…” 

Robert Booth Nichols was linked to biological technology in Japanese institutes and Meridian International Logistics. MCA Entertainment Division was also sued for organized crime, but this was stopped at a high-level (p. 134):  the MCA labyrinth.  Riconosciuto and Nichols were both interested “…in developing new high-tech sub-machine guns and powerful explosive devices…electromagnetic pulse…,” as well a $500- million stock fraud in international organized crime. Nichols said:  “I am involved in the research and development of weapons systems, ranging from the basic blow-back automatic weapons to various advanced destructive devices.”   

Strangely, Nichols was also an investor “in a method for induction and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes”: Biological warfare; back to an “Old Boy” network from the 1950s. Nichols was advancing, as well, a Research and Development facility on the Cabazon Indian Reservation: arm-sales to NATO, U.S Army, and Germany.

MORE WEBS

Wackenhut branched into property In Canada.  Nichols worked in arms and electronic trading.  President of Intersect Corporation; John Vanderwerker, Glenn Shockley, a board director of FIDCO and MIL, both were on CIA payroll; links to Union Bank of Suisse of Zurich, Switzerland. Forty-two Cobra helicopters were purchased by NATO, and then they were suddenly diverted to “North Korea,” then Iraq (p. 144). Oliver North supplied Iran, the CIA supplied Iraq, and Wackenhut supplied the Contras: all supervised by the U.S government: the Reagan administration’s efforts to aid the Nicaraguan Contras. The House Judiciary Committee on Inslaw gave proof “that Wackenhut sold arms to the Contras.”

(An aside, according to CIA operative General Manual Noriega, he was paid 11-million-dollars from a CIA slush fund and maintained that “planes carrying arms to Nicaraguan rebels returned to the United States loaded with illegal drugs.” [pp. 147-148])

MORE TANGLED WEBS

Cytotoxins were mentioned in Bio-Rad Industrial Park/ Wackenhut/Cabazon biological warfare letters: “Hitler’s wet dream.”  Riconosciuto added:  “Horrible things. You know, it makes what the Nazis did to the Jews look mild….horrible germ warfare project….” (p. 152).  Some of the toxic chemicals made it to Saddam Hussein through international trafficking of armaments (ITAR).

Peter Videnicks, a Justice Department CIA cut-out was the administrator of the contract between Inslaw and the DOJ. A $10-million-dollar deal to install PROMIS in its 20 largest U.S Attorneys offices fell through in 1983. Dr. Earl Brian was one of Ronald Reagan’s “fast track” inner sanctums and he served a large Intelligence Community; he was involved with PROMIS. He was called “the Genius Doctor” in the field of biological technology; biotech Capital Corporation and American Cytogenetic. Infergene was in violation of toxic waste. “….chlamydia, herpes, and HSV-2….bacteria of unknown etiology” (p. 157). Radioactive Butanol; Beef mucosa; DNA technology; Yersinia Pestis: the Black Plague.  “…if an accident had occurred, all of Berkeley would have been wiped out.” A proposal by Wackenhut to Dr. Harry Fair was “a secret government installation” and the Army Weapons Division; Gulf War Syndrome (GWS); mass sociogenic illness.

TANGLED, TANGLED WEBS

To quote Robert Chasen of Wackenhut:  “Wackenhut was running amuck.”  Nichols and Peter Zokosky attempted to “sell the biological warfare technology (developed in cow uteri)” through Wackenhut; Ebola Zaire Virus.  “A tiny change in its genetic code,” said Richard Preston in The Hot Zone, “and it might (have) zoomed through the human race.”

Nichols confessed to Seymour that he and John Vanderwerker were CIA facilitators and the shipment of the 42 Cobra helicopters was a “classified” operation. “Without drugs,” said Nichols, “banks and whole countries would collapse financially.” (p. 173.) Wackenhut was involved in chemicals destined for King Fahd of Saudi Arabia; lethal toxins; Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Peter Zokosky described a process by which the Venture “had incubated the virus in cow uteri and udders in bio-labs twenty floors beneath the ground.” (p. 176) 

(UFOlogists and paranormal investigators recognize stories of the cattle and animal mutilations where utters and other bodily parts are mysteriously and surgically removed.)

Wackenhut Security Experimented with Animals

Animal Testing 101

The MCA Home Entertainment Division is described as “facilitating the largest leveraging scam ever conceived in this country.”

Nichols alleged that Riconosciuto had killed Paul Morasca.

DOCTORED ZAPRUDER FILM

Among other things discussed with Nichols was a film uncovered by him of an alleged “un-cut” version of the Kennedy/Zapruder film demonstrating the CIA’s ability to “cover up anything it wants.”  Seymour speculated that the showing was a ploy by Nichols to later claim deniability.

Nichols claimed to have worked in MK-Ultra-Manchurian-Candidate programs; Phoenix Project; The Chosen Ones; German SS occultism. “I felt sure the corporate and government connections,” said Seymour, “were little more than ‘fronts’ for large-scale drug trafficking.”

DEATH THREAT

Because of name-dropping of a secret Nichols meeting, Seymour’s life was threatened. It would be another death – seven altogether – if it happened (p. 191). Real life “Dungeons and Dragons….biological warfare, high-tech weaponry, and large-scale heroin and cocaine operations worldwide…down the big, black hole.” Seymour said that the “war” between the FBI and the DOJ was a “key” to the Octopus story. PROMIS could be modified to track money laundering activity as well as Intel gathering, hack databases, control hundreds of accounts, and move money through the international banking system (p. 198); CHIPS and SWIFT.  In 1992, that was $2 billion dollars a day: laundering with ties to the Gambino crime family and the Yakuza.

Nichols, in criminal style, had hung a man in front of a prop plane which sucked the victim towards the propellers.  That victim was Sam Marowitz, a professional hitman.

Cheri Seymour’s investigation into the tentacles of the Octopus continues in Part II.

We continue with Cheri Seymour’s tenacious sleuthing of the many deaths and circumstances surrounding the late researcher Danny Casolaro and “The Octopus.”

Danny Casolaro

https://ppia.fandom.com/wiki/Danny_Casolaro

Chemical magnate Al Holbert was a former Israeli intelligence officer who gave special education classes to law enforcement agencies in the U.S.  His address was Fort Mead, home of the Intelligence Security Comand and Delta Force. Holbert exported cryptic substances out of his mail-order chemical outfit. Danny Casolaro ‘carted about’ a transcript of Octopus connections and Riconosciuto interviews at the DOJ:  a month before his death.

Nichols said of the FBI, CIA:   “…they’ve become so corrupt and polluted they don’t know what they’re doing half the time….”  (p. 209).

Nichols testified that he worked for the CIA since the 1960s when he was recruited by a “Ken.” He was told to take a job with a Hawaiian security firm.

CALI CARTEL

Eventual prosecution of persons of interest occurred in 1995:  money laundering, drug conspiracy and racketeering, obstruction of justice.  It was a 161-page indictment.

BACTERIOLOGICAL

Suspicious bacteriological experiments by all major combatants, including Axis Powers during World War II were noted.  Japan was a principal suspect.  A laboratory at Fort Detrick emerged to study bacteriological warfare (BW). It was a germ-warfare Manhattan Project-type operation: typhus, diphtheria, bubonic plague. Major General Ishii, Unit 731, experimented on human beings. Pin Fan. Experiments became international: cholera, anthrax, TD, typhoid, rickettsia, dysentery, cyanides, and botulinum.

TOXINS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation_in_the_United_States

America secured BW technology for their refusal to open war crimes investigations.  The secret industry flourished.  FIDCO secured those secrets.  Kafkaesque.

MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE

Seymour linked to the CIA 1940s experiments in Mind Control; World War II.  Scientific experiments were also incorporated. CIA programs ranged from exotic herbs to screening candidates for outlandish, chemical and biological warfare (CBW). CIA screening methods were adapted and used by AT&T (p. 222).  “…the line between offense and defense – if it ever existed – soon became so blurred as to be meaningless.”  Operation Artichoke; Technical Services Staff (TSS); Clandestine Services, Directorate of Operations; MK-Ultra; MK-Naomi; Staph Enterotoxin; Venezuelan Equine; Encephalon-Myelitis Virus; aerosol sprays. Operative George White wrote: “…I toiled wholeheartedly in the vineyards because it was fun, fun, fun. Where else could a red-blooded American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape, and pillage with the sanction of the All-Highest.”

PSYOPS

Sid Gottlieb took control of MK-Ultra. Wackenhut board member Stansfield Turner lied to President Carter about the goals of MK-Ultra. The Scientific Engineering Institute carried the ball as a proprietary company. One operative said:  “If you could find the natural radio frequency of a person’s sphincter, you could make him run out of the room real fast…creating a subservient society was not out of sight.”  HIV is described as a “chimera” created in 1977 at Fort Detrick, Maryland; genetic engineering; psychological operations (PSYOP) and Mind War. “…Mind War operative, consequently, must not be detectable by ordinary means…” (p. 235).

Training for Biological Warfare

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/26/coronavirus-link-to-china-biowarfare-program-possi/

Major Michael A. Aquino advocated “psychotronics,” and proudly advertised his interest in Satanism (p. 236).  He also advocated interest in Hitler and Nazism, The Vehm, the Thule Gesellschaft, and the Ahnenerbe.

Michael Aquino’s Last Desperate Attempt to Silence his Victims

DOMESTIC USES

A 1993 Los Alamos conference was aimed at uses of psychotronic systems as weapons of law enforcement for domestic civilians; directed-energy-weapon-technologies. General E.C. Meyer, former Chief of Staff of the U.S Army, had also set up a Department of Defense Conference in which Michael Riconosciuto was a principal speaker on this topic.  “…you can genetically engineer these biological agents….a specific penetration group can be immunized, and everybody else dies,” said Riconosciuto.  

The fraud-ridden Nugan Hand Bank collapsed in June 1980 after its co-founder, Frank Nugan, was shot to death. Nine-top-ranking U.S military and intelligence officers had worked for the bank.  The Bank assets were looted by CIA proprietaries.

The Mystery of Nugan Hand Bank and the Murder of Donald Mackay

TANGLED TANGLES

Bill and Nancy Hamilton’s Inslaw/PROMIS program was fraudulently coveted by the CIA, NSA, FBI, DEA, and DOJ.  The DOJ copied versions of PROMIS into 45 U.S Attorneys Offices.

Ronald LeGrand, the chief investigator, said: “Inslaw is a lot dirtier for the Department of Justice, in its breadth and depth than Watergate.”  The Criminal Division was the nerve center. To date, the government hides “additional uses” of PROMIS; probably laundering money from drug profits (p. 255).

The Illuminati

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5567691/what-is-the-illuminati-conspiracy-theories/

Illuminati Official Website – IlluminatiOfficial.org

Michael Riconosciuto modified the PROMIS software during 1983-1984. One investigator, attorney Paul Wilcher, also met his death on June 23, 1993, adding more lethal statistics in the Shadow Government.

Seymour outlined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation and their interest in PROMIS and Seymour’s investigation. The Strategic Software Company was one facilitator. The RCMP investigation found that “the drug angle” was a “key piece to the puzzle” (p. 299).

Added to the deaths in the syndrome were the execution-style triple homicides of former Cabazon Tribal Council Vice-chairman Fred Alvarez, Ralph Boger, and Patricia Castro on June 29, 1981.

A December 2, 1982, FBI report indicated that Robert Booth Nichols also conducted money laundering for Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines.

RCMP CONFIRMATION

The RCMP obtained an 11-page chronology revealing Wackenhut Corporations “joint venture” at the Cabazon Indian reservation. The RCMP determined that Robert Booth Nichols made several calls to government agencies, “and one of them went into the White House” (p. 313).

The RCMP investigated as to the U.S government placing “a backdoor deal” in Canada’s PROMIS software system.  Detective Sue Todd said:  “Who controls the flow of money controls countries. PROMIS was tailored by Riconosciuto for banking and money laundering.” ECHELON and PROMIS: a treaty between the U.S and Canada to share the data from that spy apparatus. “Memorandums” discovered Indo-China project shipments of heroin involving the combined Gambino-Gotti-Castellano families (p. 321) and related murders. Officer Sean McDade said:  “…more than one Presidential Administration will be exposed…”  “The most secret computer systems in the western world…secret copies of PROMIS indeed were bootlegged, modified and sold illegally.”

DEMAND FOR DRUGS

Peter Zokosky, a former officer of Naval Intelligence, said drugs were the new ‘gold’:  “Drugs are a business at the highest levels of corporations because there are a huge market and demand for drugs.” “…persuasive business…everyone is involved…”  (p. 341).  Zokosky also told about “biological warfare ‘viruses’ (that were) being developed in cow uteri by Stormont Laboratories.” “Anti-toxin kits” sold to the Army and the Food Machinery Corporation of America (FMC).

Germ  Warfare

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nicholson-baker-foia-baseless-biological-warfare-korea_n_5f15fcfac5b615860bb5fddd

FBI agent Tomas Gates revealed evidence that a connection existed between the corrupt MCA, Attorney General Edwin Meese, and the White House (p. 348) and the Reagan administration.  MCA had been Ronald Reagan’s agent in Hollywood and it held a multi-million dollar monopoly. Top officials in the White House Strike Force against Organized Crime were told to eliminate MCA from their probe.

TANGLED TENTACLES

The U.S Department of Justice controlled the “Old Boy cronies,”  “stampeding through the government,” “cowboying” the intelligence community, drug cartels and organized crime, “blazing new trails” into every facet of criminal enterprise (p. 355).  Suspect Eugene Giaquinto threatened to call Edwin Meese and have the inquiry stopped..

There was a move on to stop the investigation that the government had misappropriated PROMIS for sensitive national security projects.  The FBI wiretaps were shut down in the Fall of 1988.  A hard-hitting, aggressive prosecutor, Marvin Rudnick, proved the DOJ was involved in a cover-up.   Rooting out the Mob was a problem.  Robert Booth Nichols was referred to as “being higher than the CIA” (p. 368). He said:  “this is a cover-up that goes all the way to the top…mob infiltration and CIA influence at MCA.” As part of an intelligence operation involving PROMIS, Nichols was an undercover operative working for the NSA and DOJ.   He was also “involved with the Gambino crime family and the Yakuza,” MIL, Innovative Medical Research and Technologies: and “the Illuminati” (p. 376).

GOVERNMENT MAN

Nichols was identified as the “government man” in his dealings with the Mob and John Gotti.  Nichols was moving money into Swiss Bank accounts, as well as demanding a trial by jury in the Bayou, New York case, but he died on February 14, 2009. A public trial “would have exposed a scandal far exceeding the Bernie Madoff fiasco.”  (pp. 385 – 389)

Some researchers speculated that Nichols may have disappeared into a Witness Protection Program with a new identity.

A $250-BILLION PONZI SCHEME

Tentacles of “The Octopus” reached into the School of the Americas (SOA), a combat training school for Latin American Soldiers in Fort Banning, Georgia, called the “school for assassins.”

Bill Hamilton said: “…the unforgivable use of unauthorized NSA bank surveillance version of PROMIS to launder profits from drug trafficking so some of them could be used to finance covert intelligence projects.”

It was described as an unfathomable 250-billion-dollar-worldwide Ponzi scheme.   

Cheri Seymour summarized:  “…nothing can be done to dismantle the Octopus; there is no one in office in this great nation that has the power to prosecute the Octopus criminals because the tentacles have become an integral and accepted culture within our society, and indeed our economy.”

KENN THOMAS INVESTIGATION

“After Casolaro’s death, Michael Riconosciuto made claims that Casolaro had learned nothing more than what one of two intelligence factions wanted him to know in order to embarrass the other faction,” said paranormal investigator Kenn Thomas.  “One faction was called Aquarius and had a leadership sub-group called MJ-12, the name, of course, of the supposed secret group founded by Harry Truman in the wake of the Roswell flying saucer crash.  Riconosciuto even told one writer that he had witnessed the autopsy of an alien body.  This was long before the famous [Ray Santilli] alien autopsy film began to circulate.  Some have suggested that the tales of extraterrestrials that surround areas like Area 51 and Pine Gap serve as disinformation to deflect attention away from serious issues such as gun-running and black project weapons development. Casolaro’s own view, and the extent of his knowledge and interest in this tributary from the Octopus research, and whatever he learned that might have brought the truth closer to the surface of the murky waters in which he swam, may have died with him.”

Part III 

“The Enemy that is  Everywhere and Nowhere.”

Octopus: Sam Israel, the Secret Market, and Wallstreet’s Wildest Con, Guy Lawson, Shark World Publications, LLC., Crown Publishers, 1745 Broadway,  New York, N.Y 10019, 212-940-7868, http://www.penguinrandom.com, customerservice@prk.com,  2012, 352 pages, $26.00.)

For those who read The Octopus From Hell in the July 20 to 29, 2013 issues of the UFO Digest – ufodigest.com/article/octopus-hell-0704-0707 – they will be familiar with the quizzical meanderings of CIA operative Robert Booth Nichols.  

In this tome, the reader is given another ‘slice’ of Nichols’s life, through the unveiling by Guy Lawson into the various aspects of this Government Operative that has never been explored before. The book has to do with Hedge Fund adventurer Sam Israel’s rise from a Wall Street ‘clerk’ to a multimillionaire-Hedge-Fund ‘owner’: Bayou Funds Management. 

Using every ‘trick’ that Israel had learned as a fledgling stockbroker, Bayou grew into multiple clients; one hitch existed: They were losing money.  

“The events of 9/11 permanently transformed Bayou. Trading out of the hole was no longer a realistic option___unless a miracle occurred___Bayou needed to attract money,” said Lawson, “a lot of money very, very quickly.”

Powered by his own trading programming software, however, called Forward Propagation, an 86 percent accuracy rate (Israel’s scale) was not enough to cover losses. Israel was prospecting for newer ways to create quick cash. Then, he heard of the infamous PROMIS software: “The program had been so successful that American intelligence agency apparatus   had secretly stolen the software to put to use covertly.”

Sam Israel thought that if he could obtain the PROMIS program, it would leverage him into a world-wide money-tracking system.

Enter Robert Booth Nichols.

Robert Booth Nichols

“I want PROMIS.  I know you’re in the computer program,” said Israel, “I know  about you, and I want PROMIS.”

Instead,  Nichols diverted Israel into equally mysterious, equally fantastic,  secret trading program – a secret bond market – that only high-yield-elite clients could participate in. 

Sam Israel’s Trading Room

“There is a secret government operating within the world’s government.  They run the secret trading program – the high yield market,” said Nichols, “only a few chosen people participate in the program. The returns are staggering.”

A great part of the book is filled with gyrations of intrigue concerning Robert Nichols Booth and Sam Israel trying to place a multi-million dollar trade that could telescope into over 6-billion-dollar windfall. True to Nichols’s shadowy character, a lot of strange participants are introduced as ‘fellow investors’ in the Shadow Market, never knowing if they are really objective investors trying to participate into a secret windfall investment—or, were they part of a confidence game, carried on by Nichols and other questionable figures?

“All the cloak-and-dagger stuff was driving me out of my mind,” said Israel, “I was constantly looking over my shoulder wondering who was following me.  I could feel the presence of people watching me.”

The activity spanned international jaunts to interviews and tests with various ‘investment trysts.’  Nichols was totally convincing in living up to the espionage ‘spook‘ portrayed in Cheri Seymour’s The Last Circle; enter FBI special agents Catauro and his partner Kevin Walsh, and Cameron ‘Kip’ Holmes of the Arizona Attorney General’s office: they cast suspicion on Nichols-Israel ‘efforts’ to reach the holy grail of the Shadow Market. Israel could no longer give buoyancy to his hedge fund which he successfully camouflaged its losses: he announced the closing of Bayou Funds Management.  

“In nearly a decade, the chairman of Bayou, the charade of Bayou Funds had transformed from accounting trickery to true–crime chiller to tragedy to parody,” said Lawson. “Nichols’s testimony must qualify as some of the strangest evidence ever offered in a federal proceeding. Nichols told his life story, from his days at a Hollywood professional school to his night cruising the five-star-bars of Honolulu for the CIA. He stated under oath that he’d been an asset to the U.S government for decades.”  

According to Lawson,  Nichols, Israel, and legions of conned investors had been victims of a swindler named Barry McNeil. The victims never paid tax on their investment, they couldn’t go to the police. 

On January 30, 2008, Israel was sentenced to 20 years in prison for white-collar crime.

The Arrest of Sam Israel

The X-Funds

Fortunately (or, unfortunately, as the case be), the mystery behind any of the said bonds and funds that Nichols played around with, probably alluded to much more than Barry McNeil and all these mysterious financial trysts (several may have been and appear to be ‘patsies‘ and ‘fronts‘ for a much deeper operation, including Nigel Finch, Emily Hardwick, and others). Investigator Joseph P. Farrell disclosed in a series of his books, ranging a history going back before World War I, that a Hidden World financial empire had existed running through components of history as the survival of the Nazi Reich, the 2008 Wall Street crash, even the 9/11 Conspiracy, and actually continuing to the present day.

Quotes From a WordPresscom507 article on this topic:

“Joseph P. Farrell has written many interesting tomes on the occult, esotericism, and mysterious happenings, and equally fascinating is his trilogy on the emergence, continuance, and conquest by Nazism as revealed in:

(1) Nazi Fourth Reich: Nazi International: The Nazi’sPostwar Plan to Control, Finance, Conflict, Physics (2008), (2) CovertWars and Breakaway Civilizations (2012), (3) Hidden Finance, RogueNetworks and Secret Sorcery: The Fascist International,

 9/11, and penetrated Operations (2016) –

Adventures Unlimited Press, One Adventure Place, Kempton, Illinois 60946, $19.95.

“Farrell speaks of discovered multi-billion dollar slush funds of counterfeit currency described as gold bonds but encoded to mean drug–trading in trading coups used to finance revolutionary technologies such as The Bell and flying saucer experiments.

“The trading coups ran under many names. Operation Golden Lily, Japan’s M-Fund, Foundation X, Operation Bernhard, the 57 Bond, Federal Reserve Bonds, Operation Morganthaus, Federal Reserve Bonds, and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), among others.

“Described as a Breakaway Civilization mixing in with special secret technology, this cabal utilized intelligence agents such as Edward Lansdale, whose CIA and intelligence training preceded his, once again, going back to the Philippines to oversee the recovery of the Golden Lily loot.”

Bryan Burrough said in his review of  Lawson’s book:

“Desperate to claw out of his $117 million hole, Mr. Israel meets his mystery man, Robert Booth Nichols, in 2004. Mr. Nichols, who died five years later, was actually a kind of celebrity, a star of conspiracy theory world who was portrayed on the Internet as a longtime C.I.A. operative linked to a shadow world government, the holder of secrets to everything from the Kennedy assassination to a World War II-era hoard of Japanese gold. Some called this vast ‘conspiracy’ the Octopus.”

Barry Seal  – CIA operative

“Tosh Plumlee claims that Barry Seal began working for the Central Intelligence Agency in the mid 1950s: ‘Barry Seal was involved with military intelligence in the early days… Military intelligence was the real game, with the CIA just acting as logistical people. Barry was a peripheral player back then, but he was a CIA ‘contract’ pilot all the way back to 1956 or 1957.

“In 1958 Seal began ferrying weapons to Fidel Castro fighting against the the Fulgencio Batista regime in Cuba. At the time a section of the CIA was supporting the overthrow of Batista. However, the policy changed soon after Castro gained power and Seal is said to have taken part in air attacks on the new government.”

Lost Lore and the UFO Rapture

.

Steve Erdmann

Copyright, C, Steve Erdmann, 2014.

This article was published in the October 8 through 10, 2014 issues of UFO Digest.

It is Printed here with Permission.

.

Paranormal writer Brad Steiger had combined his occult interest into Edgar Rothschild Fouche`s experience in Air Force Intelligence and cryptology as a prophetic science-fiction piece that could prove to be “the smoking gun that will astound anyone seeking the truth.”

(Alien Rapture: The Chosen, Edgar Rothschild Fouche’ and Brad Steiger, Glade Press, Inc., P.O. Box 460, Lakeville, Minnesota 55044-0460, 1-800-777-3454, www.galdepress.com, 1998, 275 pages, $19.95.)

.

.

The book’s disclaimer said in part, “The Top Secret government documents are alleged to be authentic. However, we believe the U.S government would disagree. Existing Top Secret military science and technology, and government abuses are alleged to be authentic. Historical quotes by public figures are accurate.”

Fouche’ was assigned to the much special secret development and classified “Black Programs,” and he decided to incorporate many of his true-life episodes in disguise. “Alien Rapture is presenting many facts with a little fiction,” said Steiger, “to protect the guilty and shield the innocent.”

.

TOWARDS THE LIGHT

.

Joe Green, a major protagonist in the story, was a Senior Engineer who worked on advanced aerospace vehicles. While on a final NSA assignment to place transponder-marker-beacons near a downed Russian trawler, Green confronted, once again, a preview of his destiny. That mission was an assignment for the Tactical Reconnaissance Engineering Assessment Team (TREAT) in 1975, but it was only one of many times that Green would encounter a mysterious light and missing time. In this one instance, it was in the waters off North Vietnam, but earlier it has been with his parents when he was a child in his parent’s car in route to San Antonio. It was on the San Antonio trip that Joe met the “angels” that told him why they had contacted him and what mission they entailed:

“Men and women are supposed to tend the garden…be good gardeners of Earth,” the “angels” told Green, “…God is ashamed of us. We are his bad children. We’re supposed to be better than animals. God was so ashamed that He went away and left the angles here to teach us how to find Him again when we are ready. When we grow up.”

.

THE VIDEO

.

Fellow-protagonist, UFO investigator, anti-bureaucrat, Blake Webster had exposed a real video of an extraterrestrial craft on an NBC’s “Exploring the Unknown” program; that caught the attention of highest government officials, including the ever-sanctimonious Majestic-12 Committee and high-security types at the National Security Agency and Area 51 at Groom Lake.

Several sub-plots converged throughout the book allowing characters to meet and lend strength to each other. Clive Redding Teller, known as “Red,” joined forces with Blake Webster. Teller was, in fact, a spy for Webster. A Similar protagonist was scientist and “eminent theoretical propulsion expert,” Dr. Carlton Farr (Farr was into Ultra Top Secret Black Government projects). Further protagonists were Wayne Newsome (fearless investigator), Rainey Roberts (Webster’s paramour and the Software Manager for EG&G special projects), and Page St. John, head of the Church of the Celestial Prophet (who was demanding, “a release of all UFO secrets allegedly held in the government hidden vaults”).

“…they decided that they would put together a computer-generated news release. They would use the information from Dr. Farr’s files and material from each of their research or personal experiences. They would also assemble a video from the materials at hand. The digital news release would be placed on all the worldwide computer networks…the video broadcast with pictures and shots of printed files, such as the MJ-12 documents and autopsy report, would be transmitted via satellite…”

.

THE SINISTER FORCES

.

A list of our anti-heroes, the antagonists, varied in rank and style. They ferociously fought our courageous “super patriots,” (p. 171.) that were our “muckraker” “anarchist rogues.” (pp. 207-208.)

Former Marine sniper M.D. Crawfoot had used the M40A1 on military missions, but he presently used a Remington Model 700 BDL Varmint bolt-action rifle chambered for .308 calibers.

“Crawfoot selected his bullets by weight for maximum penetration. He wanted a flattened taper for kinetic energy transfer and a core lock metal jacket deforming compound bullet for ultimate killing effect. Maximum damage to the target was accomplished by the largest hole; ergo the wider the diameter and the heavier the better.”

Crawfoot came to assassinate scientist Carlton Farr for his knowledge he had gained about Black Programs, the TR-3 Tactical Reconnaissance vehicle (with multi-mode propulsion), and the inroads that Area 51 had made with “aliens (that) not only walk among us…(but) work among us, creating a new world of alien/human technology,” as Blake Webster theorized.

The capture and torture of  “Red” Clive Teller by Area 51 Chief of Security Raul Agabarr, “an unprincipled soldier of fortune who sold his services to the highest bidder and who loved his gore so much he would have worked for free,”  forced the rescue of Teller as imperative.

High-official realization of the possible exposure of the Majestic-12 program and alien technology became spear-headed by Colonel Tytrent of Special Operations, General Jean-Claude Alexandre Beauharnais, Director of Defense, Special Projects, and Eli Jerrold, “an exceedingly wealthy attorney, a former Director of the National Security Agency.”

.

RESCUE AND INTERVENTION

.

The “four conspirators” clashed headlong with the inner sanctum at Area 51 in their rescue attempt of “Red” Teller. They came to realize, however, that Joe Green’s history of abductions since childhood designated him as a potential hybrid consort with the “Jexovah” race (who openly began to communicate through Green to help secure entrance and rescue of “Red” Teller at Area 51, the home of “the MJ-12 committee of patriotic leaders”).

Communication with the ‘‘Jexovah” and their plans for a prophesied “rapture” of hybrid humans unravel in the finale’ with the appearance of Page St. John‘s congregation at the site. A surprising “resurrection” of Joe Green took place from a fatal rifle shot.

,

HOW MUCH FACT?

.

Steiger/Fouche’ had developed a stirring tale of intrigue, murder and worldwide mystery that will carry the reader from beginning to end. Many will have to discover the many levels of drama for themselves. One of the stentorian representations in the book is Majestic–12 documents that alluded to being real secret manuscripts.

How much “fact” was embedded in the Steiger/Fouche’ “fiction” is an investigative, forensic task the reader must set out to accomplish. Are the UFOnauts from an unknown “initial point of origin” that came to Earth during a period of devastation to restore Earth and experiment occasionally with the creatures who were its progenitor?  Are “android” biological entities, “Jexovah,” emitted from “massive mother ships” (p. 161) at some real interstellar location? Are there human hybrids waiting for resurrection in some celestial “rapture”? Will science fiction, as had happened in the past, become a pattern realized in the present?

 “When I began researching Alien Rapture – The Chosen I had only read one book on UFOs, and that book was Project Blue Book,” said Fouche’, “so it was an amazing coincidence that Brad Steiger, the esteemed author of  Project Blue Book, ultimately became my co-author.”

 “I am not a conspiracy buff, nor am I a Ufologist. In 1990, you could not have convinced me that some of our most advanced technology was derived from reverse engineering of alien technology and alien artifacts.

“Five of my close friends, some of whom had also worked much-classified exotic black programs; one who had flown the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane and been Air Force Test Pilot; and another who had been a National Security investigator, shared information with me, which had not previously been revealed. I interviewed a number of their closest and most trusted friends to gather even more startling information. These additional connected individuals trusted me not to reveal my sources because I had been vouched for by my contacts and friends.”

EARLY FOUCHE’ UFO ACCOUNTS

.

ARTIST CONCEPTION OF SR-71

.

The SR-71 was designed as a spy plane for the CIA in the 60s and designated the A-12, said Fouche’, and the Mach 3 plus aircraft first flew in 1962, taking off from Groom AFB in Area 51. Later, once the Air Force operated it as a reconnaissance plane, it was designated the SR-71 Blackbird. Early UFO stories involving the SR-71 paved the way for his interest:

“My friend Chuck, an SR-71 pilot, related to me an in-flight incident he experienced in the 1970s,” said Fouche’, “he was returning from a reconnaissance flight, and, while at an altitude of 74,000 feet and at the speed of almost Mach 3, (3 times the speed of sound) he noticed something flickering in his peripheral vision. Hovering over his left wing tip was a ball of dense plasma-like light. It was so bright, that when he stared at it for more than a few seconds, his eyes hurt.

“Chuck tried to use his UHF-HF and VHF communications sets to no avail. There was nothing but static. Repeatedly glancing briefly at the ball of light, he watched in amazement as it moved effortlessly about his aircraft.

“At one point, the light positioned itself a few feet in front of the large spiked cone at the air Intake Inlet. The enormous amount of air rushing into the engines should have sucked in and shredded almost anything in its path, but the light orb was mysteriously unaffected.

“The light, he noted, acted in a curious manner, if something inanimate could act at all. It moved from time to time to other parts of the vehicle, staying with him until his approach to Beale AFB in California. He was in sight of the Air Base when the light swung away from his aircraft in a wide arch with ever-increasing speed.

“Of course, after reading his incident report, his Operations Commander told him not to ever speak about his experience. When Chuck related the story to me, he told me he was absolutely convinced that the ball of light was controlled by some form of intelligence. I have about two dozen stories from pilots of similar in-flight incidents with UFOs and plasma balls.

“There have been thousands of reported sightings of plasma balls, energy filled orbs, or foo fighters as they were named during World War Two.”

Fouche’ told of another UFO sighting:

“One night in the mid-seventies a longtime friend of mine and I were standing on top of the Fairchild A-10 hanger at Edwards AFB in Southern California. It was about 2 AM, and it was a clear night with millions of stars visible to the naked eye. I noticed a group of stars that seemed to be shifting in color. I pointed out to my friend that the three bright stars in a triangular formation were not part of the big dipper.

“We watched as the strobing stars shifted from bright blue to reddish -yellow in color. After a period of about 20 minutes, we could tell that the objects probably weren’t stars because they were getting larger. This was somewhat unnerving. It was further unnerving when space in-between the enlarging lights began blocking out the stars in the background.

“We decided it probably was a Top Secret Air Force vehicle of some type. Still, we weren’t sure. The vehicle had gone from half the size of the big dipper to twice its size in under a half hour and had moved from the west to the east towards the base. About the time, we could make out a silhouette or outline of the triangular vehicle, the lights, or possibly exhausts, flared brighter and vanished from the sky in an instant. This experience wasn’t my first sighting, but it was one of the few where I had a witness.”

COMBINED TESTIMONY

.

“In the 1960’s, having completed his High School education Ed was drafted from college during the Vietnam conflict,” said journalist Andrew Johnson, “ Ed was selected for the U.S Air Force Par rescue field and then, following an injury, retrained as an electronics and cryptographic specialist. His continually growing skills and knowledge in these and other areas led him to gain a top-secret ‘crypto’ clearance. He then spent about 20 years in the US military and another decade working for defense contractors.”

.

Ed Fouche’

.

Fouche’ worked in many positions in the military, gaining many awards for brilliant work, pleasing people high in his chain of command. In the 1970’s, Fouche’ briefly worked in the Nevada Test Site of Area 51 on some advanced digital technology. He came to know many people in the U.S military that he could trust. In time, they told him of their own information on fantastic technologies and programs that they had worked on and witnessed.

In the early 1990’s, Fourche’ worked with friends in the High-Security levels to combine their knowledge of what they collectively knew to be the truth about UFOs and hidden technology; some were very sensitive documents that had had names deleted or blacked out.

“After years of careful research, interviewing, writing and preparation, Ed made his first disclosures in 1998. Fouche’ made a number of public presentations – including MUFON and IUFOC events in the USA,” said journalist Andrew Johnson. “Ed had also written down much of the information in the form of a book, also published in 1998, called ‘Alien Rapture – The Chosen’ and it used Ed’s life as a ‘canvas’ on which was ‘painted’ the information he was disclosing. Due to the legal advice he received, most of the characters and scenarios in the ‘painting’ are presented as fictional, but essentially, they are based on real people and true events. The only thing in his book that was fiction was the ‘Alien Agenda.’”

ABOUT THE INFORMANTS

.

“It started when some old friends of mine met in the spring of 1990 in Las Vegas,” said  Fouche’. “There were five of us then; all of us had remained close following the Vietnam War. I’ve always been the networker for my DoD, Military, and Contractor friends, so I’m the one who set up the meeting with the five.”

Fouche’ explored his association with his friends: (*All names and identifying factors had been changed.) 

“The first friend, Jerald*, was a former NSA or TREAT Team member. TREAT stands for Tactical Reconnaissance Engineering Assessment Team.

 

“He worked for the DOE as a National Security Investigator. That was his cover, but he really worked for the NSA. His job required him to manage a team to ‘watch employees’ with Top Secret and ‘Q’ clearances in the mid-west, at the Los Alamos, Sandia, White Sands, Nevada Test Site, and the Nellis Range, which includes Area 51.

“Area 51 is where the most classified aerospace testing in the world takes place. You may know the base as Groom Lake Air Base, Watertown, the Ranch, or Dream-Land. He was found dead of a heart attack a year after our last meeting.

 

“The second friend, Sal, was a person who had worked directly for the NSA with Electronic Intelligence (E lent) and became a Defense Contractor after his retirement. 

“The third friend, Doc, was a former SR-71 spy plane pilot and a USAF test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base.

“The fourth friend, Dale, and I were in the service together during the Vietnam conflict, and I’ve known him since the early 70s. His father worked for over 20 years for the NSA and he is the one who sent me the MJ-12 documents his father had obtained.

“These documents, the New MJ-12 Charter signed by Proxy during the Reagan administration and the Attachment D to the Eisenhower MJ-12 Briefing Document, which is the Autopsy Report from Roswell, are included as attachments in my book Alien Rapture.

“The fifth friend, Bud, was a DoD Contractor and Electronics Engineer. He had worked on Top Secret development programs dealing with Electronic Counter Measures, Radar Homing and Warning, ECM Jammers, and Infrared Receivers. He retired as a Program Manager and later died of a brain tumor within 30 days after his symptoms appeared.”

.

The TR-3B UFOs

.

Possible Photo of a TR-3B

.

Fouche’s friend described the TR-3B as he observed it flying over the Papoose S-4 Area, a completely silent 600-foot triangular shaped craft with a corona of silver-blue light around the circumference. The craft is nicknamed Astra under the Top Secret Aurora Program funded by SDI black budget monies. “It is funded and operationally tasked by the National Reconnaissance Office, the NSA, and the CIA,” said Fouche’. There are genuinely extraordinary and possibly alien aircraft; not every UFO spotted, however, is one of “theirs.”

.

Artist Conception of Triangular UFO

.

During an extensive interview with Paola Harris from the ExopoliticsYahooGroup website (Dr. Michael E. Salla, 12/08/06.), Fouche’ divulged some extensive dynamics of the TR-3B aircraft. He explained at length:

“Sandia and Livermore laboratories developed the reverse engineered MFD technology. The government will go to any lengths to protect this technology. The plasma, mercury based, is pressurized at 250,000 atmospheres at a temperature of 150 degrees Kelvin and accelerated to 50,000 rpm to create a super-conductive plasma with the resulting gravity disruption. The MFD generates a magnetic vortex field, which disrupts or neutralizes the effects of gravity on mass within proximity, by 89 percent.

“Do not misunderstand. This is not antigravity. Anti-gravity provides a repulsive force that can be used for propulsion. The MFD* creates a disruption of the Earth’s gravitational field upon the mass within the circular accelerator. The mass of the circular accelerator and all mass within the accelerator, such as the crew capsule, avionics, MFD systems, fuels, crew environmental systems, and the nuclear reactor, are reduced by 89%. This causes the effect of making the vehicle extremely light and able to outperform and outmaneuver any craft yet constructed – except, of course, those UFOs we did not build.” (* Magnetic Field Disrupter.)

A new element acted as a catalyst to maintain the plasma, said Fouche’. The vehicle’s mass can easily perform at Mach 9 both vertically and horizontally. With the 89% reduction in mass, any pilot endured the G-forces entailed.

.

EXOTIC AEROSPACE PROGRAM

.

Fouche’ explained that the craft was a “high altitude, stealth, reconnaissance platform with an indefinite loiter time. Once you get it up there at speed, it doesn’t take much propulsion to maintain altitude.” There was a list of aerodynamic characteristics:

# The TR-3 was a sub-Mach 9 vehicle until it reached altitudes above 120, 000 feet – then its speed was fantastic.

# The three multi-mode rocket engines mounted under each corner of the craft use hydrogen or methane and oxygen as a propellant. In a liquid oxygen/hydrogen rocket system, 85% of the propellant mass was oxygen. The nuclear thermal rocket engine used a hydrogen propellant, augmented with oxygen for additional thrust. The reactor heated the liquid hydrogen and injected liquid oxygen in the supersonic nozzle so that the hydrogen burned concurrently in the liquid oxygen afterburner.

# The three rocket engines only had to propel 11 percent of the mass of the Top Secret TR-3B.

# Rockwell reportedly built the engines. Many sightings of triangular UFOs were not alien vehicles but the top-secret TR-3B. The NSA, NRO, CIA, and USAF have been playing a shell game with aircraft nomenclature – creating the TR-3, modified to the TR-3A, the TR-3B, and the Tier 2, 3, and 4, with suffixes like Plus or Minus added on to confuse further the fact that each of these designates were a different aircraft and not the same aerospace vehicle.

# A TR-3B was as different from a TR-3A as a banana is from a grape. Some of these vehicles were manned and others were unmanned.

# The TR-3B was the most exotic aerospace program in existence. ‘TR’ stood for tactical reconnaissance, which meant the craft was designed to get to the target and stay there as long as is necessary in order to send back information.

# A nuclear reactor that operated for a long time without refueling powered it. This also allowed it to hover silently for long periods.

# Located in the center of the triangle was the circular crew compartment and surrounding this was a plasma filled accelerator ring called a Magnetic Field Disrupter (MFD).

“A source who worked on the TR-3B said their goal was to put a third propulsion system on board so you could routinely reach the Moon or Mars,” said Fouche’.

He explained that it might be possible to modify the MFD technology so that it not only reduced mass but also created a force that repelled gravity. Therefore, this would be a true anti-gravity system, which was believed to be in use by UFOs.

SUSPICION ON THE FACTS

.

Skeptics were concerned that Fouche’ may have overstated, misrepresented, and possibly invented some of his facts from his history.

Richard Boylan, Ph.D., M.S. Ed, MSW, B.A., Educator-Researcher, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, and a retired Clinical Psychologist,  who said, “At this time, I am aware of the existence of ten kinds of special-technology advanced aerospace platforms [mil-speak for craft], all incorporating antigravity technology in some form.”

Those ten were: the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, the Aurora Lockheed-Martin’s X-33A, Boeing and Airbus Industries’ Nautilus, the TR3-A Pumpkinseed, the TR3-B Triangle, Northrop’s Great Pumpkin disc, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical XH-75D, Shark antigravity helicopter, and Lockheed-Martin and Northrop’s jointly-developed TAW-50 hypersonic antigravity fighter-bomber. These could have included the Lenticular Reentry Vehicle, a nuclear-powered flying saucer – the first version of which allegedly went operational in 1962, as portrayed in the November [2000] issue of Popular Mechanics.

.

Typical Triangle UFOs

.

Boyland said that the “TR-3B does not have an antigravity propulsion system, but merely uses the Biefeld-Brown effect to reduce its weight so that more conventional propulsion systems such as scramjets can give it amazing speed.”

However, other skeptics further pointed out that the effect had been attributed to ionic wind and had been shown not to work in a vacuum, thus eliminating any alleged “antigravity” effects.

(Some of the criticisms seemed more like personal attacks, for whatever reason, rather than dispassionate analysis.)

A prior cohort and presently a spokesman for Alienscienctist.com spoke vehemently against Fouche’, having worked with him, and experienced some questionable tactics from Fouche’. This spokesperson felt that Fouche’ had invented many of the ‘science facts’ – not from reliable, hidden sources – but from the widespread news, journals and gossip (an unfortunate behavior in humans), and that he melded these tidbits into a fashionable and believable story. According to this cohort, Fouche’ even claimed, while intoxicated, that he had flown in a TR-3B.

Alienscientist.com speculated that Fouche’ gathered, “his mention of Quasicrystals and Metamaterials…Two remarkable types of materials, very definitely used for things like invisibility and stealth cloaking technologies…” from all-ready existing journals and sources and not from friends in Black Projects. “Did he actually work in Black Projects as he claims or did he learn about all this stuff from reading science and technology magazines, or somewhere else?”

“Woody,” a skeptic that claimed to have known Fouche’ personally, was just as blatant: “(July 8, 2014 – 06:33 p.m.) Ed Fouche is a liar! Sadly, he has taken his service in the USAF and attached a fantasy to it that was designed to create a legacy for him! Ed spent thousands of dollars to self-promote a poorly written book, which he can barely give away! Within this book, and another unpublished book called Oracle, Ed claims to have embedded secrets about him, and alleged Top Secret programs that he claims of which he was a part.

“Ed states that he had to talk to JAGS in order to get permission to write certain things in this book while they supposedly filtered out other sensitive material. However, Ed cannot offer any proof of this interaction with JAGS. Ed makes great claims, so it should be incumbent upon him to back these claims with verifiable evidence instead of counterattacking others while expecting them to do his footwork.”

.

http://www.project-maji.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18876-edgar-fouche-liar-fraud-hoaxer-disinformer/.

.

Fouche’ countered that the facts were very complicated and not that simple; deception was part of the overall history of UFOs. Other researchers contended that Fouche’s experiences are neither all black nor white (like so many other enigmatic characters in ufology and even our own personal lives) but a mosaic of half-truths.

.

GOVERNMENT MIND GAMES

.

In a 1999 interview with investigator Paola Harris, Fouche’ divulged his further belief that many of the so-called UFO abductions were part of a governmental Mind Control program to spread disinformation about the government’s relationship with UFO entities. “Disinformation,” said Fouche’, “If you plant half a dozen different versions of what is going on in people’s minds, no one will ever believe anyone else, and that’s exactly what’s happening…Not unless a pre-existing authority imposed the terms of the future new order.”

.

When the TR-3Bs Attack

.

At other times, Fouche’ indicated that famed stories, such as the 1997 book about a 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash by Philip Corso*, and the alleged Area 51 employee, Bob Lazar (who did reverse engineering), were part truth but also a part falsehood. (* Philip J. Corso was an American Army officer. He served in the United States Army from February 23, 1942, to March 1, 1963, and earned the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.)

(“The Corso account is unfathomable to me. There must be more to the story than plain BS. That’s not to say that I think the book is the truth, but the circumstances that led to the claims must have an impetus. The motives behind putting a smudge on an exemplary life’s achievement are intriguing. Possibly the same sense of mischief that produced the MJ-12 docs was at work?… Lazar? Equally puzzling. Reputable researchers recall entering Area51 on a nod from Lazar. Even that he knew his way through the office buildings. Yet his story is fabrication without apparent substance.

“One last thing, when it comes to Ed Fouche, there is some kind of massive Triangles that have been flying all over the place since the 1970s,” said ShotInTheDark on June 10, 2014, “and I, along with many others, want to know what they are. Are they ours? Or, are they another countries’? Or, are they from some other place? Bottom line is: they exist.”)

One such triangular craft passed over several Illinois towns, including Lebanon and Millstadt, on the morning of January 5, 2000.  There were multiple witnesses, including several police officers.

Illinois  –  2000 – Police Witnesses

.

“Officer Martin was driving on the southern end of Shiloh heading east when he observed the mysterious object, which appeared to be heading in a westerly direction,” said MUFON investigator David Marler, “he was able to observe three brilliant white lights, which were shining down from the object. However, the light did not illuminate the ground or objects on the ground. In addition, small red and green lights were observed on the back end of the object. At this time, Officer Martin thought the object’s altitude was approximately 1,000 feet. He estimated the distance from his car to the object to be about a quarter of a mile. He thought the object resembled the shape of an extra wide triangle or arrowhead. He estimated the apparent size to be 75-100 yards wide.”

MCKINNON AND SOLAR WARDEN

(Towards a Larger Picture)

.

“When Gary McKinnon hacked into U.S. Space Command computers several years ago, learned of the existence of ‘non-terrestrial officers’ and ‘fleet-to-fleet transfers’ and a secret program called ‘Solar Warden,’ he was charged by the Bush Justice Department with having committed ‘the biggest military computer hack of all time’…(He) stood to face prison time of up to 70 years after extradition from the UK,” said Darren Perks (UFO Investigator and  Researcher, 11/07/2012, 16:44 BST).

However, there would have been a backlash for McKinnon to testify: his attorney would be allowed to subpoena government officers “to testify under oath about the Navy’s Space Fleet.”

.

.

McKinnon discovered that there were about eight cigar-shaped motherships (each longer than two football fields end-to-end) and 43 small “scout ships.” The Solar Warden Space Fleet operated under the US Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC). [formerly Naval Space Command]. There was approximately 300 personnel involved at that facility. The figure was rising.

“Solar Warden is said to be made up from U.S. aerospace Black Projects contractors, but with some contributions of parts and systems by Canada, United Kingdom,” said Perks, “Italy, Austria, Russia, and Australia. It is also said that the program is tested and operated from secret military bases such as Area 51 in Nevada, USA.”

A SOCIETY OF SECRETS

(Give Him a Mask)

.

Some theorists portend that such technology had existed many years before and in the channels of hidden knowledge, hidden codes, and passwords; the space program started in the minds and hearts of various ‘inventors.’

One such telltale element was the mysterious airship phenomena of 1896-1897. Louis Winkler, Ph.D., and MUFON consultant in Astronomy studied the many newspaper and other accounts and believed the sightings were of balloon craft, which was steerable and powered. The sightings appeared to be “the first of other major developments soon to follow in the field of transportation by air.” They were seen in California and were said to be real mechanical devices. A lawyer, George D. Collins, came from the shadows and said his client, E. H. “Aluminum” Benjamin, was one of the inventors for the last seven years, at that time. Some parts had been invented in the eastern U.S. One of the ships belonged to the Aerial Navigation and Irrigation Company.

Inventor Nikola Tesla

The trail of clandestine inventors linked through the late 19^th and the early part of the 20^th century with the tales of Charles Dellschau and the Sonora Aero Club (1856-1860), the brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla, JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) – Jack Parsons –  Aleister Crowley and the “Babalon Working” are just some of the mysterious aeronautic conundrums. Space scientist and ex-Nazi Dr. Werhner von Braun recognized the powers of the underworld that energized the space race. He was quoted once as ominously warning, “We find ourselves faced by strong powers whose base of operations is at present unknown to us.” (In the year 2000, the Scottish Rite, the largest Masonic sect, formally established Tranquility Lodge #2000, a Masonic Lodge, on the moon.)

Airships of the Senora Aero Club

.

“Taken at face value, Dellschau’s collages documented the feats of the Sonora Aero Club, a secretive group dedicated to the creation of ‘aeros,’ or flying machines. In code, and bad spelling in both English and German, Dellschau recounted how, in his youth 50 years before, he and fellow club members gleefully ruled the skies of Gold Rush California, piloting fantastical airships of their own invention.

.

Book of Art of the Sonora Aero Club

.

“Perhaps the notebooks’ tales were merely fictions, Dellschau’s efforts to entertain himself. Perhaps the old man had grown a tad deranged. Or perhaps Dellschau was actually recounting the exploits of his youth, embellishing here and there, but remaining somewhat faithful to the facts. Oddly, that last supposition — the strangest possibility of all — seems the most likely. One line of thought even ties the Sonora club to a rash of UFO sightings.”

LIE BEYOND THE SURFACE

(And a larger program.)

.

The greatest mysteries were the ones that lie deep beyond the surface; whose solutions do not wait in anxious anticipation.

“…we are under threat. Whoever has sent these genetically designed androids or robots (EBEs) to Earth has transmitted a return signal,” said Fouche’. “These beings have found an inhabitable planet with intelligent life forms, and sooner or later the real ‘striking force,’ the real aliens, will arrive. So, we have embarked on this massive program; we have eggs from all these people. We have created special, genetically modified children, and we have placed them in all areas of society through adoption, including placements with individuals connected to the government.”

“…the last generation of humans with distorted alien genes would die off and leave Earth to those who had reclaimed the birthright of mankind.” (p. 275)

OSHA Certified Facts:

Why Masks Don’t Work to Block Covid19

REPOSTED-COURTESY OF DARLA SWAIM:

I know I’m about to burst your “google doctor degree” bubble, but here goes nothing. For all you mask wearers (especially those of you who think wearing it outside is NOT stupid).

So Masks?

I am OSHA 10 & 30 certified. I know some of you are too. I don’t really know WHY OSHA hasn’t come forward and stopped the nonsense BUT I want to cover 3 things

• N95 masks and masks with exhale ports

• surgical masks

• filter or cloth masks

Okay, so upon further inspection, OSHA says some masks are okay and not okay in certain situations.

If you’re working with fumes and aerosol chemicals and you give your employees the wrong masks and they get sick, you can be sued.

• N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breath straight out without filtration. They don’t filter the air on the way out. They don’t need to.

Conclusion: if you’re in Target and the guy with Covid has a N95 mask, his covid breath is unfiltered being exhaled into Target (because it was designed for already contaminated environments, it’s not filtering your air on the way out).

• Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are CLOGGING these masks very, VERY quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it “useless” IF you come in contact with Covid and your mask traps it, YOU become a walking virus dispenser. Everytime you put your mask on you are breathing the germs from EVERYWHERE you went. They should be changed or thrown out every “20-30 minutes in a non sterile environment.”

• Cloth masks: I can’t even believe I’m having to explain this, but here it goes. Today, three people pointed to their masks as they walked by me entering Lowe’s. They said “ya gotta wear your mask BRO” I said very clearly “those masks don’t work bro, in fact they MAKE you sicker” they “pshh’d” me. By now hopefully you all know CLOTH masks do not filter anything. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? Yes. The one with sunflowers that looks so cute? Yes. The bandanna, the cut up t-shirt, the scarf ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale, you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks your health, rather than protect it. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden over night. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask.

-Ultimate Answer:

*N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person.

*The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. It’s filtration works on the exhale, (Like a vacuum bag, it only works one way) but likely stops after 20 minutes, rendering it useless outside of a STERILE ENVIRONMENT (correct Becky, they don’t work in a bar, not even a little bit).

*Cloth masks are WORSE than none. It’s equivalent to using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.

The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don’t work. They’re being used to provide false comfort and push forward a specific agenda. For the love of God, research each mask’s designed use and purpose, I bet you will find NONE are used in the way of “viral defense.”

Just like EVERY Flu season kids, wash your hands. Sanitize your hands. Don’t touch stuff. Sanitize your phone. Don’t touch people. And keep your distance. Why? Because your breath stinks, your deodorant is failing, your shoes are old and stink, that shirts not clean, & I like my space. Trust me I can hear you from here. Lots of reasons to keep your distance and work on body hygiene. But trust me, the masks do not work.

*Occupational Safety & Hazard Association cited. OSHA is the top American organization for work safety.

They regulate and educate asbestos workers, surgical rooms, you name it.

I know, facts suck. They throw a wrench into the perfectly (seeming) packaged pill you are willingly swallowing. Facts make you have to form your OWN OPINION, instead of regurgitating someone else’s, and I know how uncomfortable that makes a lot of you. If your mask gives you security, by all means wear it. Just know it is a false sense of security and you shouldn’t shame anyone into partaking in such “conspiracies.”

If select politicians stopped enforcing it, no one would continue this nonsense. Don’t drink the kool-aid.

America Mourns APOLLO 14 “MOON WALKER”

Early on Friday morning, February 5th, my friend Bob Reid notified me with the sad news of the demise of legendary Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who passed away in Florida on February 4th, 2016 at the age of 85.

Every February 7th, I celebrate the life of the original “Flash Gordon” with a group of like-minded friends whose lives were touched, moved, inspired by the original Flash Gordon serials, starring the now-immortal science fiction movie hero, Buster Crabbe, who was born on February 7th, 1908.  

“Flash Gordon’s Birthday Dinner,” which I convene each year is usually a happy celebration, but today is different, tinged by sadness as I reflect on the passing of one America’s true Flash Gordon heroes, Apollo 14 astronaut and premiere “Moon Walker,” Dr. Edgar Mitchell, in Lake Worth, Florida last Thursday, February 4th, 2016.

The Launch of Apollo 14

January 31, 1971. 4:03:02 pm, 

Of course, as a young man growing up during “The Kennedy Era,” I knew very well of Edgar Mitchell and his legendary “Moon Walk.”   Edgar Mitchell’s “Moon Walk” lasted more than 9 hours and set a record that may endure through the 21st Century.

However, more importantly, my interest in his flight was piqued further when I learned secret details of his lunar journey.  Dr. Mitchell’s work became of life-long interest for me because, as a Fordham University undergrad studying (para)psychology at the time of Dr. Mitchell’s trip to the Moon, I became even more intrigued with his translunar experiences when I read in a major national magazine that while on the Moon and in his return to Earth, Edgar Mitchell had secretly conducted experiments in extrasensory perception, or ESP (as it was called then), including attempts at telepathic communications with friends and associates, acting as ” psychic targets” here on Earth to receive his telepathic transmissions from the Moon!   That item was an amazing revelation for the times.

Although few details of the ESP experiments were given at that time, the simple fact that Dr. Mitchell, a world renown Apollo astronaut, had engaged in scientific ESP studies, instantly raised the respectability of ESP research as serious subject to be legitimately explored as Science (with a capital “S”).  

Furthermore, the revelation of Mitchell’s ESP experiments  instantly elevated the  status, legitinacy and respectability of the small group of dedicated ESP investigators and researchers of the paranormal ( including UFOlogists) who,  in general, were largely shunned by science and scientists (small “s”) and who, held in disdain by mainstream science, had been relegated , banshed to “the outlands” of what was commonly labelled (and regularly debunked) as “fringe science.”

All of that changed on the day that a very “straight-laced” national news magazine profiled Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, reporting his remarkable feats of strength endurance during his Moon Walk.  Foremost in mass media’s attention was Mitchell’s world record set while walking on the Moon for more than 9 hours.  That is a record that may stand for 100 years or, perhaps, for even longer, given the chaotic state of world affairs today, and the consequent retardation of manned lunar exploration for the foreseeable future.

Editor’s Note: Since 2016, the situation described above has changed radically since the election of President Donald J. Trump, the establishment of the U.S. Space Force, and the initiation of NASA’s Project Artemis: America’s wreturn to the Moon.

“Something Really Big” Happened To Mitchell Returning From the Moon

As remarkable as the revelation of Dr. Mitchell’s translunar ESP experimentation was, there was an even more amazing, but glossed over detail in the magazine article, which gave me a hint that “Something Really Big” had happened to Edgar Mitchell during the Apollo 14 flight, something which was being“played down” at the same time that it was being reported.

I recall even now (after more than 40 years), the deep and curious impression that the reportage of this event made upon me, striking very strongly on a psychic level.  I read the paragraph several times over as I sensed that there was a subliminal message in the account.  

I sensed upon reading the report that something of great significance was being veiled , (not quite hidden) but not out in the open.  

To me, the narrative implied something bigger than what was being told, and it suggested in coded words, a vague description of a cosmic event of some sort that had transpired during Mitchell’s journey back from the Moon.

Direct Contact With a Higher Form of Consciousness in Outer Space

I was intrigued by the magazine report that while returning from the Moon Edgar Mitchell had had a “peak experience” that involved a significant expansion of consciousness, one that was triggered by the sight of the Earth floating freely in space.  

The sense of euphoria that the stronaut felt during that singular experience led Dr. Mitchell to enter a state of higher cinsciousness and gave him a sense he had made contact with a form of superconsciousness that tied all things together into One.  It appeared to me that Edgar Mitchell had experienced direct contact with a higher mind, which conveyed a sense of Universal Intelligence.  

Hindu yogis desribe that state as arriving at “Samadi.”

Mitchell’s brief description of this psychic state had revealed to to the world the veritable existence of a higher state of consciousness, a higher state of mind, potentially attainable by human beings to arrive at unity with The Universal Mind, .

The concept of  One Mind that is all-encompassing in  nature is not new.  In point of fact, it is more than  ancient.    It is primordial and symbolized most readily by the image of  “The Eye of Providence” or “The All-Seeing Eye.”

In ancient lore, to attain the “All-Seeing Eye”also signified rebirth as Horus the Falcon …

HORUS – The ancient Egyptian Redeemer of Mankind 

Arthur C. Clarke predicted in his novels, “2001: a Space Odyssey” and  “Childhood’s End,”  the eventual merger of the human mind with  “Superconsciousness” to become The Star Child in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” but his prediction is even more literal and dramatic in “Childhood’s End.”   

The End of Mankind ( to be read here as “the purpose of Mankind’s creation”) as foreseen by Arthur C. Clarke in “Childhood’s End,” will be marked by the the absorption of all minds into one great, overarching field of awareness, which is Universal Intelligence.   Clark foresaw that Mankind, having evolved in some future altered state into a telepathic global consciousness, literally a form of “hive mind,” will be absorbed by a yet higher intelligence that is tantamount to God.  

At that final moment of “Childhood’s End,” the Hive Mind of Mankind is predicted by Clarke to be subsumed as a whole into an even greater, all-encompassing Universal Mind, a Ring of Power, perhaps symbolically signifying Clarke’s concept of the return of  The Cosmic Christ to gather up the souls of the Elect quite literally into ….

UNITY:

One Mystical Body from The Alpha to Omega Point

In his apocalyptic scheme of things to come, Clarke’s end suggests a union with The Divine, i.e. a personal union with the Mind of God, Itself, as a single, unified state of super consciousness, which the Swiss psychologist C. G. Jung called the “Mysterium Coniunctionis,”  or “mysterious conjunction” of the human mind and soul with the divine prinicple in a mystical union with the “Myysterium,” namely God.

The Jesuit scientist-philospher, Teilhard de Chardin referred to that same concept of a “Universal Mind” as the “Noosphere,” which means the Sphere of Knowing, or Universal Awareness, i.e Cosmic Consciousness, and from which the Institute for Noetic Sciences derives its name.

Teilhard de Chardin’s own “peak experience,” which had occurred in Asia 50 years before Edgar Mitchell’s, gave Teilhard a vision of the Universe as a Single Living Being from its inception, called The Alpha Point, with a body composed of divine creative energy joined with and matter, coexisting dynamically in spacetime, growing, extending, and expanding forever toward a destination to fulfill a universal purpose, always moving toward an end point called “OMEGA POINT.”

Of course, the magazine article did not state that “Edgar Mitchell has seen God,” but it clearly suggested that something extraordinary, and quite outside of so-called “normal” human experience had happened to Edgar Mitchell “out there” between the Moon and the Earth.  It was clear to me that its import was great.  

Something unusual, something extraordinary, something beyond our ken and the normal boundaries of the human experience had happened to Edgar Mitchell while on the Moon and, more importanly, during Apollo 14’s transit through deep space in Apollo 14 as it returned to Earth.  

For me, the wording and the phrasing, along with a marked reference to “peak experience” (a key word in vogue in psychology at that time), a term coined by psychologist Abraham Maslow, who was best known, “for creating Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority, culminating in “self-actualization.” (SeeWikipedia)

These Maslowian ideas of “peak experience” and “self-actualization”  were identical with “Centering,” “Self-realization,“ “Enlightenment”  or “illumination” (in modern terms). These ideas were already familiar to me as a student of parapsychology pursuing the same quest, seeking the very same goal of “self-actualization.” 

The mention of these concepts in regard to Edgar Mitchell’s experiences provided strong support for my belief in telepathic ESP and showed me that, in one sense or another, in a state of extrasensory perception, Edgar Mitchell had experienced what we called then and now …

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

That memorable report made of me a lifelong student of Edgar Mitchell’s work, the most important of which in my estimation were direct outgrowths of the “peak experience” that he had had transiting back to Earth from the Moon.  These works were Dr. Mitchell’s establishment and founding of The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) for the exploration of human consciousness, as well as, becoming a strong global voice promoting the peaceful uses of outer space, and working with Carol Rosin, personal assitant to Werner Von Braun,to promote and adavance the De-Weaponization of Outer Space.

The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)

http://www.noetic.org/directory/person/edgar-mitchell

Just as President John F. Kennedy had done with his contraversial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963, Dr. Edgar Mitchell called for all nation to ban the proliferation nuclear weapons (or Star Wars  technology)  in outer space.

As Wikipedia recounts:

“Mitchell’s interests included consciousness and paranormal phenomena.  On his way back to Earth during the Apollo 14 flight he had a powerful  savikalpa samādhi experience,^[13] and also claimed to have conducted private ESP experiments with his friends on Earth.^[14] 

The results of said experiments were published in the Journal of Parapsychology in 1971.^[15] He was the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) for the purpose of consciousness research and other “related phenomena”.^[16] On the Opie and Anthony radio show, Buzz Aldrin described a psychic communication experiment that Mitchell conducted during the Apollo 14 flight, wherein Mitchell attempted to transmit information to participants on Earth.^[17]

Mitchell’s Remote Healing of Kidney Cancer

Wikipedia continues:  “Mitchell claimed that a teenage remote healer living in Vancouver and using the pseudonym “Adam Dreamhealer” helped him heal kidney cancer from a distance. Mitchell said that while he never had a biopsy, “I had a sonogram and MRI that was consistent with renal carcinoma.”  Adam worked (distantly) on Mitchell from December 2003 until June 2004, when the “irregularity was gone and we haven’t seen it since”.^[18] “

*******

More than 30 years later, I finally got to meet Dr. Edgar Mitchell on January 30th, 2003, when he lectured at The Explorers Club in New York City, just 2 days before the tragic loss of Space Shuttle Columbia.  

It was there at the Explorers Club that I heard Dr. Mitchell recount in great detail the circumstances surrounding his “peak experience,” which I had a chance to discuss with him that very night.  

Our exchanges at The Explorers Club began a 13-year long friendship and correspondence that lasted through this week just before Ed passed the bar. I would like to add or more aptly assert that if his translunar ESP experiments were successful (as they appear now to have been), I pray that our correspondence may yet continue for a while as we both know with certainty that we don’t need postage stamps for telepathic contact, we just need the right envelope.

A score of friends and fans of Dr. Edgar Mitchell have contacted me expressing their commiseration, sharing sympathies and the experiences that they had Dr. Mitchell over the the last few decades.

UFO Spotlight shines on and salutes Dr. Mitchell as he crosses the bar, and in tribute, we present this memorial page to him and the historic achievements of the Apollo 14 astronauts.

A PEAK EXPERIENCE

A peak experience is a moment accompanied by a euphoric mental state often achieved by self-actualization of the individuals chosen.^[1] 

Self-Actualization

“The concept of self-actualization was originally developed by Abraham Maslow in 1964, who describes “peak experiences” as “rare, exciting, oceanic, deeply moving, exhilarating, elevating experiences that generate an advanced form of perceiving reality, and which are even mystic and magical in their effect upon the experimenter.”^[2][3] 

There are several unique characteristics of a peak experience, but each element is perceived together in a holistic manner that creates the moment of reaching one’s full potential.^[4] Peak experiences can range from simple activities to intense events;^[5][6] however, it is not necessarily about what the activity is, but the ecstatic, care-free feeling that is being experienced during it.^[7]“

The Discovery of The Apollo 14 “Sky Object”

Below is a high resolution photograph taken by Edgar Mitchell while on the surface of the Moon, showing an anomalous (UFO) object that approached the Apollo 14 landing zone during his Moon Walk.  

AS14-68-9472HR

The photo shown above (AS14-68-9472HR) was taken by Edgar Mitchell as he shot a series of 70 mm. panoramic photos of the lunar landscape.   

I first brought this photo to Ed’s attention in 2008, and again 2 years later, when we discussed the “sky object” again in greater detail when I shared my enlargements and enhancements with him during a telephone conference call with him and a fellow astronaut in 2010.

The Apollo 14 Sky Object – Close Up

Robert Morningstar’s Enhancement of AS14-68-9472HR 

To avoid “leading the witness,” whenever Ed and I discussed this photo, on the phone or in emails, I refrained from ever calling it a “UFO,” and so, for our mutual comfort in discussing it, I dubbed it “The Apollo 14 Sky Object,” or simply “the sky object.”  

The image I’d shared with Ed in 2008 was not the enlarged enhancement that the reader sees above. So, when we spoke on the phone, I sent him the images shown above via email so that I could gauge his reactions in “realtime.”

I sent the file and I heard a “ping” over he phone, signalling it’s arrival in his omputer. When Ed opened the file, I was delighted to hear him exclaim on the other side, with some measure of excitement :

“Hey, Robert! There really IS something there!”

(Smile) … Ed agreed that the sky object was indeed “anomalous” …

Or perhaps it was something floating down that fell off the spacecraft…. (I smile again).

I’m too sad for words.    Sending this with Love in Edgar’s Peace.  

Thanks for all you are doing for Edgar.  It will be wonderful to be included (in UFO Digest’s & UFO Spotlight’s tribute) … 

I sit here with our forth coming book on my lap, in tears, thinking about my best friend in all this work for so many decades dedicated to maintaining the peace in space for peace on Earth since we started collaborating in ’74.  

Ed’s been so hoping Russia and China leaders will again champion the updated treaty ASAP that will ban all space based weapons so human conscious will rise and we can live sustainably and explore to learn more about ourselves and our cosmic neighbors.

Ed knew there are no enemy ETs … always repeating “there is zero  evidence of that” and always supporting the Treaty signing, always trying to educate everyone about the vital importance of preventing the weaponization of space and the serious relevance of that to our being able to survive sustainably, and so humans can move in peace into the cosmos for all the benefits and opportunities.

This will bring undreamed of benefits to Earth as we learn more about who we really are, and where we stand in the Universe.  

Edgar’s intelligence, courage, heart and his determination to get this message across, about the importance of keeping the peace in space “out there,” amidst the same OL’ rumors, ridicule and disinformation, is an  inspiration and will be forever to so many of us – on Earth and those in space❣

“Crossing the Bar”

Edgar Mitchell & Alan Shepard Preparing for the Launch of Apollo 14

*******

“Crossing the Bar”

By Alfred Lord Tennyson

Sunset and evening star
   And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
   When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
   Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
   Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
   And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
   When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
   The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
   When I have crossed the bar.

Water On the Moon Found Ubiquitous!

WATER ON THE MOON…

Researchers discover H2O is widespread

INSIDE and OUT The MOON…

 Similar to Earth

UT researchers Discover Water on the Moon is Widespread and Similar to Earth

Researchers uncover evidence of water on the inside of the Moon…

Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville are once again turning what scientists thought they knew about the moon on its head.

Last fall, researchers, including Larry Taylor, a distinguished professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, discovered “lunar dew” on the moon’s surface — absorbed “water” in the uppermost layers of lunar soil.

This discovery of water debunked beliefs held since the return of the first Apollo rocks that the moon was bone-dry.

Now, scientists, including Taylor and Yang Liu, research assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, have discovered that water on the moon is more widespread on the outside and inside of the moon with similarities to water in volcanic systems on Earth.

Their research will be featured in the article, “Lunar Apatite with Terrestrial Volatile Abundances,” in the July 22 edition of the scientific journal, Nature.

Unlike lunar dew, which is believed to come from an outside source such as solar wind which brings hydrogen into contact with the Moon’s oxygen, the water discovered by Taylor and Liu is internal, arising from an entirely different origin.

How it got there is not yet known.

The water may have been added by impacting comets, which contain ice, during or after the formation of the moon and Earth.

The existence of volcanoes on the moon more than 4 billion years ago gave the researchers a clue that water might exist inside the body, since the dynamics of volcanoes on Earth are mostly driven by water.

Therefore, the scientists made their novel discovery by examining a lunar basalt brought back from the 1971 Apollo 14 mission.

Using secondary ion mass spectrometry at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., scientists determined volatile elements in a calcium phosphate mineral are very similar in the same mineral found on Earth.

The scientists said this provides “robust evidence for the presence of water in the interior of the moon from where some lunar rocks were derived.

This demonstrates a closer chemical and geologic relationship between the Earth and moon than previously known. We must now re-evaluate the volatile inventories of the moon, relative to the Earth.”

The finding of volatiles on the moon has deep implications for how it, and the Earth, formed.

It is generally believed that the moon was created when the early Earth was hit by a Mars-sized proto-planet called Theia, melting and vaporizing itself and a large chunk of the Earth.

The cloud of particles created by the impact later congealed to form the moon, which supposedly was devoid of highly volatile elements such as hydrogen and chlorine.  However, the researchers’ discovery of these volatiles challenges this theory.

“If water in the Moon was residue, water kept during the giant impact, it is surprising that water survived the impact at all because less volatile elements, such as sodium and potassium, are strongly depleted.  The details of the impact theory need to be re-examined,” Liu said.

The discovery of abundant and ubiquitous water on the moon could mean a human settlement on the moon is not so far-fetched.
Currently, the endeavour would be very expensive. 

For example, it costs $25,000 to take one pint of water to the moon.  However, if scientists devise processes to easily recover this water from the lunar rocks for drinking water and fuel, a human settlement is not out of reach.

“Now we have ready sources of water that can be consumed by plants and humans but also electrolyzed into liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to develop rocket fuel,” Taylor said.

“Until the recent discovery of water in and on the moon, it was going to be a very energy-intensive endeavor to separate these elements from the lunar rocks and soil.”

Taylor and Liu collaborated with George Rossman, Yunbin Guan, John Eiler and Edward Stolper at CalTech, as well as Jeremy Boyce at CalTech, and the University of California-Los Angeles.

Their research was funded by NASA Cosmochemistry, the National Science Foundation and the Moore Foundation for Support of the Caltech Microanalysis Center.
