“If the masses started to accept UFOs, it would profoundly affect their attitude towards life, politics, everything. It would threaten the status quo. Whenever people come to realize that there are larger considerations than their own petty lives, they are ripe to make radical changes on a personal level, which would eventually lead to a political revolution in society as a whole.” — John Lennon

John Lennon was the greatest singer songwriter and the most influential political artist of the 20th century. Lennon was assassinated on Monday, December 8, 1980. I am writing a new article that is filled with questions (to get people to think) about his assassination. When finished, it will be published on: -> December81980.com & here on UFO Digest.
Please note that I will be a guest on Spingola Speaks with Deanna Spingola this Friday evening, December 11, 2015, from 7 pm till 9 pm (est). I will be talking about December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor) and December 8, 1980 (The date of the assassination of John Lennon).
I will also be a guest on The Opperman Report with Ed Opperman (pretaped Thursday) to be aired this Friday, December 11, 2015, from 8 pm till 10 pm (est). I will be talking about December 8, 1980 (The assassination of John Lennon).
“I am going into an unknown future, but I’m still all here, and still while there’s life, there’s hope.”
John Lennon, December 8, 1980
In mid November of 1980, I told all my close friends John Lennon was about to be assassinated. I told them that the powers that be were going to blame a lone deranged crazy fan, and that this person would never have a trial. I don’t know how I knew all of this.
*******
Editor’s note: -> As Thomas Campbell stated in the 1781, “Coming events cast their shadows before them.”
This terrible event, yet another act of global terrorism based around assassination of another kind of “world leader” (like those of JFK, MLK, RFK and the atempt on Ronald Reagons life just 4 mohnths later) was also forshadowed in Woody Allen’s film “Stardust Memories” wherein the “hero” (Woody Allen) is killed by a loving fan right after having an encounter with extraterrestrials in a forest. The ETs tell Woody: “We love your films … especially the earlier funny ones.”
It is not uncommon for intelligence agencies to prepare the public for such public executions with “public premonitions” presented as entertainment. Another case in point, was the preparation of the public psyche for the JFK Assassination by promoting the book and movie called “The Manchurian Candidate” the year that JFK was killed. <See editor’s postscript below>.

I was driving my taxi in Manhattan on that beautifully warm evening of December 8, 1980. I was listening to Vin Scelsa on WNEW 102.7 FM, when just before 11 p.m., he announced that John Lennon had been shot, and then a few minutes later, crying, he announced the death of John Lennon.
When this horrible news broke, I was with a passenger in my taxi. I drove her home and immediately went to the Dakota. I stayed there for the next nine hours. These nine hours changed my life. I swore on John Lennon’s blood that I would do everything I possibly could to enlighten humanity and make our world better for future generations.
…And everyday for the last thirty-five years, I have been doing this.

“I believe in everything until it’s disproved.
So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons.
It all exists, even if it’s in your mind.
Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky.
I believe that what people call God is something in all of us.
I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right.
It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”

“Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It’s quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders….You have to do it yourself. That’s what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshipped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be. There’s nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can’t wake you up. You can wake you up. I can’t cure you. You can cure you.” — John Lennon
“I think all our society is run by insane people for insane objectives… I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal means. If anybody can put on paper what our government and the American government and the Russian… Chinese… what they are actually trying to do, and what they think they’re doing, I’d be very pleased to know what they think they’re doing. I think they’re all insane. But I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.”
— John Lennon
On November 4, 1963 the Beatles performed at the Royal Variety Performance in London attended by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. And the Fab Four’s arrival drew more attention than the arrival of the Royal Family. The Beatles, who were seventh on the bill of 19 acts, wowed the upscale crowd with “She Loves You,” “Till There Was You,” “From Me To You” and “Twist and Shout.” Prior to ripping into a rousing rendition of their closing rocker, John Lennon said, “For our last number I’d like to ask your help. Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you’ll just rattle your jewelry.” John had intended to drop the f-bomb right before the word “jewelry,” but Paul McCartney and the group’s nervous manager Brian Epstein talked him out of it. Odds are, however, the crowd would have simply been charmed.
I was 15 years old, in high school at Power Memorial Academy in New York City when I saw ‘The Manchurian Candidate” for the first time during the spring and summer of 1963.
Intrigued by it, I saw the film twice that year, and have seen it at least a score more times on TV since then. I have now studied this film and another Frank Sinatra film (“Suddenly”) for more than half a century.
The film, “The Manchurin Candidate,” featured an all-star cast, headed by Frank Sinatra, Angela Landsbury, Henry De Silva, and, playing the lead part of a US Marine turned assassin via Communist mind control techniques, a most unusual actor, Lithuanian-born, but English-bred Laurence Harvey, cast in the role of Sgt. Raymond Shaw (USMC), a cold-blooded killer under control of a pro-Communist handler, in this case, his mother, played by Angela Landsbury, in her Academy Award-winning role.
From the very first time that I saw the film, as great as it was, I experienced a sense of “cognitive dissonance” in watching the film each and every time (until 10 years ago), and this consternation was caused by what I saw as the film’s ” tragic flaw,” the casting of an actor whom I took to be “an Englishman,” to play “Raymond Shaw,” a former American US Marine as the programmed“lone assassin.”
I remember thinking, each and every time that I viewed the film:
“How odd! … Why, in God’s name, would director John Frankenheimer cast an Englishman in the role of a former American Marine to play the assassin. “
With thousands of very qualified American-born actors , even Marine veterans turned actors eager to fill the role, the casting of “an Englishman” named Laurence Harvey in the title role made no sense to me at all.
That is, it made no sense to me at all until 1996 when in the midst of the intense period in my investigation of the assassination of JFK, as the saying goes:
“The scales were stripped from my eyes.”
In that year,1996, I decided to revisit and review the 4 greatest assassination films ever made. They were the 2 Frank Sinatra films already mentioned, i.e. “Suddenly” and “The Manchurian Candidate,” as well as,“The Day of The Jackal” recounting the attempt made on the life of Charles DeGaulle, and “Behold a Pale Horse,” which starred Gregory Peck as a Basque Separatist.
It was during that period of investigation and film viewing that I experienced a real shock to my senses and came to a deeper understanding of the extensive role played by the CIA’s MK-Ultra program, both beforeand after the JFK assassination, in preparing the Americanpsyche and world public, literally “priming” them for the upcoming assassination of President Kennedy, and the acceptance of the “Lone Gunman Scenario” in the aftermath of his murder, a murder most foul.
That “shock to my senses” referred to above was quite profound and it came as I was viewing the titles and credits of “The Manchurian Candidate” and I suddenly realized exactly why a Lithuanian-born “English actor” was cast in the lead role. It was precisely to confuse the mind and create a disturbance that would later, not be remembered, but one that was felt.
Imagine my surprise and amazement when my mind’s eyes suddenly stripped away mental filters and I saw (as if highlighted in Bold Type or “enLArgEd”) key letters standing out in a particular name as the credits appeared on the television screen. It was then that I realized that embedded within the actor’s name and camouflaged subliminally within it was the name of President Kennedy’s future assassin, as shown below:
Laurence Harvey
Within which another embedded name can be seen when decoded:
The Rev. Scott Gerard Prinster is a Ph.D. candidate in the history of science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He recently made comments (in UU World Magazine, Fall, 2015, “Better than Human? The Ethical Challenge of Bio-Technology and Transhumanism.”) that appear on the minds of many people:
“Since my youth I have been drawn to the world of science fiction, to books and film depicting human life shaped by futuristic science as wondrous magic. I understood that these stories were really speaking about our present-day society and pointing out the opportunities and dangers posed by our progress. Maybe that’s why the most interesting aspect for me was the vision authors imagined for our future. How will humanity respond to the problems we are facing today? Will we overcome disease and aging and outgrow the need for war and brutality?”
Within the past four years, two books approached these questions, but more so in the vain of the UFO (flying saucer) Mystery and its possible beginnings, routine, and future relevance to science.

TWO PERSPECTIVES
Kenn Thomas’ investigation into a June 21, 1947 UFO incident and dumping of UFO fragments into the Puget Sound near Tacoma, Washington also went into “Para politics,” the Oliver Stone 1991 movie JFK, CIA agent Clay Shaw, and a mysterious CIA asset, Fred Crisman, who seemed to mesh into several paranormal and political incidents in 1947 and over the years, making one wonder if a mosaic of “1947 events” (the 1947 Roswell UFO crash, the 1947 creation of the Central Intelligence Agency, the creation of the 1947 Air Force UFO Project Sign, the 1947 operation High Jump, which met heavy resistance by UFOs, the 1947 creation of the NSC [National Security Council] and Comint [Communications Intelligence], and others) didn’t collectively have something to do with a Pandora’s Box of reality having been opened and whereby unleashing infectious demons that have yet to be resolved.
For complete details on the Maury Island UFO Incident, we highly recommend reading “JFK + UFO-Military-Industrial Conspiracy and Cover-up from Maury Island to Dallas,” by Kenn Thomas, and published by Feral House, 1240 West Sims Way, Suite 124, Port Townsend, Washington 98368,2011. www.FeralHouse.com.
Micah Hanks views what appears to be some of the same UFO mysteries, their origins, but with extra “metaphysical” viewpoints. Hanks sees the solution to the UFO mystery as clandestinely happening behind current scientific progress and, perhaps, even being manipulated by unknown forces and agencies.
“…far be it from me, let alone the staunchest skeptics among us to hope to derail any one’s belief in Alien visitation here on earth,” says Hanks. “The bottom line is that we simply don’t know what, exactly, we may be dealing with when it comes to UFOS. At present, we only have a few reasonably good ideas.”
Hanks quotes Alexei Turchin, a Russian Transhumanist, on the nature of the UFOphenomenon:
“UFOs are a reflection of our fears. They represent a certain kind of taboo, and are often a scapegoat in the absence of real science…often to test the edges of our rationality, or our ability to rationally and somberly look into the unknown.”— The UFO Singularity: page 213.

POLITICS AND METAPHYSICS
The Maury Island UFO incident seemed “physical” enough. Harold Dahl, his son, Charles, a pet dog, and two unidentified crewmen were impinged upon by an estimated twenty tons of UFO debris deposited over Puget Sounds, damaging his boat, The North Queen, killing his dog, and injuring his son (who soon left the territory with amnesia, but later allegedly found, recovering in Lusk, Wyoming).
Dahl’s “superior,” Fred Crisman, later witnessed the bizarre material spewed along the beach, and briefly became witness to a craft similar to one of the six large donut-shaped aircraft that previously hovered over the bay.
Thomas describes increasingly mysterious events. For example, the very day after the Maury Island UFO event, Harold Dahl was approached by a man in a black suit (aka “MIBs”) who was driving a 1947 black sedan Buick. The man (characteristic to other ‘MIB’ reports) took Dahl to breakfast.The man revealed quite a bit of knowledge about Dahl. He also made veiled threats about Dahl’s well-being. “I did think it was rather fantastic how this gentleman happened to know what I had seen,” said Dahl.
Shortly following the Maury Island UFO Incident, the famous Kenneth Arnold incident took place June 24, 1947 in the Cascade Mountains near Mount Rainer, Washington, when Arnold viewed nine delta-shaped aircraft “skipping” the mountain peaks about 1200 miles per hour. [1]
Thomas tells us that the era was designed by reports of similar objects. Archie Edes of Wenatchee, Oregon also saw a UFO disperse “great shows of speaks and piles of flame” around June 27, 1947.
Although there was, as yet, no “official” US Air Force investigation of the sightings in Washington state, Arnold was soon contacted by Raymond A. Palmer at Ziff-Davis Publishing and “Amazing Stories”who offered Arnold $200 to investigate Dahl and Crisman’s story.
Because of the July 4th “wave of sightings,” however, General Carl “Ptooey” Spaatz dispatched two investigators, Captain William Lee Davidson and First Lieutenant Frank Mercer Brown of the Fourth Air Force A-2 Intelligence Unit. General Spaatz began an investigation of the Northwestern UFOs at the McChord Air Base, as well as Hamilton Field in California, to report UFO data to the Air Technical Intelligence Command at Wright Field in Ohio (commanded by General Nathan Twining at that time).
Arnold soon connected with David N. Johnson of the Idaho Statesman and United Airline pilot Emil Smith, both who had previous UFO experiences, as well as talking to officers Davidson and Brown. Johnson “advised Arnold to take on the Maury Island investigation and let his newspaper pick up the expenses.” —JFK + UFO-Military: page 36.
Smith joined Arnold in his investigation, interviewing Dahl and Crisman, other UFO witnesses, and inspection of the UFO debris.
Ted Morello of the United Press International began to get anonymous-informant-telephone-calls revealing intimate details of conversations with Dahl, Crisman and Smith. Such reported and eerie informant-interceptions happened several times, causing the investigators to search for “bugging devices” in their hotel room.
Brown and Davidson interviewed everyone about their findings. Crisman provided the A-2 men with a box of the fragments. [2]. The officers were suspicious of some of the elements in this case, but they “planned to finally make that trip to Maury Island with Crisman in the morning leaving this whole strange experience behind them.” [3]

Unfortunately, and mysteriously, the episode took a macabre twist when the B-25 the two officers left in crashed on August 1, 1947 killing them both. Capt. Brown’s widow mentioned her belief that he husband had been murdered [4].
Bizarre elements continued: A reporter for the Tacoma Times, Paul Lantz, who reported on the crash, died shortly following his news dispatch. A farewell trip by Smith and Arnold to see Dahl at his previously visited home, found a suspiciously empty house:
“When they arrived, they found a house that ‘looked completely deserted and as if it had not been lived in for a month,’” says Thomas. There was no furniture, only dust, dirt cobwebs, no Dahl, his secretary or her children to be found. The two men had been there earlier in the morning when the house was occupied and normally lived-in. (JFK + UFO-Military: pp 68, 65-66.)

STAGING PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS
Michah Hanks is likewise amazed by certain mystic happenings in sightings of UFO craft:
“This is certainly a possibility, though there would need to be a hefty reason for using technology so advanced as that displayed by UFO craft for mere purposes of staging psychological experiments with humans,” says Hanks. “Artificial intelligence, advanced bio-engineering, anti-gravitational aircraft, and perhaps even time travel are all things that could account for various UFO technologies. However, each of these possibilities is equally fastened to the idea of a coming technological Singularity just as well.” — The UFO Singularity: pp. 65-66.
Hanks prods the reader into a “human/alien” quest and prism where human-beings had begun inventions into aerial technology. The Weldon Institute flight-enthusiasts hosted an 1889 demonstration of a dirigible-heavier-than-air-flying-machine as told in Jules Verne’s 1886 novel Robur-le-conguerant. These aircraft seem to have been actually manifested in the skies over Sacramento, California in November, 1896, as a craft that bobbed in the skies in a “falling leaf” pattern of descent. There soon followed an “airship scare” with many reports from other parts of the country, some resembling a “huge egg” or “cigar” shape with rudders, paddle wheels, or even propellers.
Similar stories came from Australia in 1909. David Schwarz designed such a craft which flew at Tempelof near Berlin, Germany. George de Bay demonstrated a saucer-like model in 1928 that “could skip through the air like a flat stone.” — The UFO Singularity: p 107.
Hanks similarly talks about Nazi technology as discovered in diagrams they found at the end of World War II. Historian and researcher Joseph P. Farrell comments that “Nazi flying saucers” had been in the works by 1942. [5]

“In truth, there may have been a number of secret private enterprises throughout the years, which might have contributed to reports of explainable and other worldly looking things in the skies,” says Hanks. “Depending on the level of technological sophistication such ‘secret groups’ might have achieved, these could also contributed to a host of reports of strange unidentified flying objects seen as far back as prior to World War I.”
Hanks says that J. Allen Danelek had similar thoughts in his research on early aviation [6].
*******
SECRET AGENT MAN AND THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION
This is precisely where Fred L. Crisman enters history, not just as a UFO witness, but as a member of Special Internal Security of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and then transferred to the CIA as an “extended agent” in the State of Washington. Crisman trained at Fort Lewis, Washington, Fort Benning, Georgia, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the National Security Agency (NSA), and spent a considerable amount of time as a “disruption agent” at Boeing Company in Seattle.
Crisman also connected with earlier episodes of what publisher Ray Palmer called The Shaver Mystery, stories that Palmer latched onto (as written by Richard Sharpe Shaver) who told of a“diminutive race of beings” called “deros” (contraction of the words ‘detrimental’ and‘robot’), who originally came from outer space many eons in the past to help create and organize life on earth, but became victims of Sun and other solar radiation “attracted” into their advanced mental machinery, causing disease, mental derangement and a kind of perpetual zombies of “The Elder Race.”[7]
The Dero (usually living in subterranean caverns) sometimes were fought against by “not-so-deranged,” Tero and innocent surface dwellers. [8].
The Shaver Dero-Tero tales became a complex series of articles in Palmer’s “Amazing Stories” in the 1940s (and later in his Hidden World series in the 1960s).
One of those people who claimed connection to “The Hidden World” was Fred Lee Crisman, who wrote to “Amazing Stories”telling of his own encounters with “deros” in underground caverns in Myana Mar southeast of India, and Kashmir, near Jammu in Alaska, where Crisman claimed a companion name “Dick” lost his life.
Crisman gave a “prescient description” of a laser-like weapon that bored “a hole the size of a dime in (the) right bicep” of Crisman’s companion’s arm. “‘It was seared inside,” Thomas quoted Crisman, “‘How, we don’t know,’ no doubt, since lasers had not yet been developed.”
It was precisely at this point in 1947 that Crisman was seemingly interjected into UFO history. [9].
Thomas also points out that these craft were the end-products of Nazi technology and their “flugdiskus.” — JFK + UFO-Military: p 81.
“During World War II, for instance, he supposedly belonged to the Office of Strategic Service (OSS), a forerunner of the CIA, which according to UFO lore had a hand in transforming flying saucer technology from the Nazis after the war,” says Thomas about Crisman, “and so, if there was anything to the connection, this may have been the origins involvement with Maury Island.”
Crisman’s numerous CIA comments and episodes since 1945 included Clay Shaw (who tried to call Crisman upon his arrest by Jim Garrison in the 1968 Kennedy assassination trial in New Orleans). [10]
Shaw’s association with a fascist organization called Permindex, Shaw’s alliances with the Nazi/American Operation Paperclip, Guy Banister association at 531 Lafayette in New Orleans (Banister associated with Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963,Watergate buglers Bernard Baker & E. Howard Hunt, David Ferrie [who, among other activities, was a gun-runner for theCIA’s Bay of Pigs], Robert Maheu as a consultant to billionaire-genius Howard Hughes (who planned murder plots against Fidel Castro), CIA operatives Thomas Beckham, Sergio Arcacha Smith, Louis Rabel, “The Octopus” suspect Michael Riconoscuito, Kerry Thornley, and various bizarre right-wing ‘old church’ evangelical sects, including The Minute Men and the Christian Sons of Liberty.
“To many, the world of transnational industrial espionage that Garrison saw as the back drop to the assassination is simply not real, despite its continuing presence in global politics,” says Thomas. “Conmen, industrial spies and low-level disinformationists abound in this environment and one testament to the veracity of Crisman’s entanglement is the durability of his influence upon it. [11]” — JFK + UFO-Military: p 115.
*******
BEHIND THE SCENES TECHNOLOGY
Here Michah Hanks presents the philosophical and cogent theories of Martin Cannon as espoused in Cannon’s “The Controllers: A New Hypothesis of Alien Abductions” which allude to powerful and clandestine agencies working in concert to manipulate the beliefs and actions of society at large. [12].
Dr. Leon Davidson was another scientist that felt the “UFO mystery” was actually a CIA invention! [13].
“Although the above circumstances being related have to do with the potentials for such technology being harnessed by covert agencies, there are other ways that advances in the sciences might be used to control or manipulate an individual,” says Hanks, “…military interests aren’t always the only medium through which the advancement of secret technology can occur…taking place as a result of private interests and largely away from public agencies, we can see that it would no doubt remain clandestine.” —The UFO Singularity: pp 171-172.
Hanks slowly outlines the steps in which the origin of such phenomena may have already taken place in our present and future reality as “Transhumanism” heading for the ultimate “Singularity.” Hanks quotes Russian Transhumanist, Alexei Turchin, on how “super technologies” could presently be playing with humanity:
“I refer to the idea that UFOs are connected with the quantum nature of our world; they are like schrodinger’s cat, which could exist only under conditions of low concentration of the attention of its observers…this could explain why many attempts at taking UFO photos seem to fail or end up looking like hoaxes. It could also explain how they are connected with our unconscious mind.” — The UFO Singularity: p 210.
*******
CRYPTOTERRESTRIALS
On January 14, 2012, scientist Nigel Kerner sent a warningto Hanks that humanity may have been set-up as “lab rats” kept alive “for mere purposes of control__and a control system that ultimately plans for their demise…an agenda, a hidden agenda that is not for benefit.” — The UFO Singularity: p 217.
Such glimpses into Palmer’s “Hidden World” (JFK + UFO-Military: p 39 [14]) may have been found in Thomas’ portrayal of Fred Crisman as one of the three hobos (aka “The Three Tramps”) arrested on the day of John F. Kennedy’s murder. Such associations suggest a strong and operant synchronicity in a Jungian sense, at least. [15].
Mysterious papers called The Torbitt Document, had been authored by David Copeland, and told of how Crisman had ties to both Kennedy-suspect-groups, the infamous Division Five of the FBI and the Defense Industrial Security Command (note the acronym, DISC). It also said that Crisman had been at the Dallas site on November 22, 1863.
The Torbitt Document tells of a John Howard Bowen (alias Alexander Osborne) who was accompanied by a ‘second’ fictitious John Howard Bowen who was, in fact, a “Fred Chrismon, [sic] another agent for the munitions makers Police Agency Defense Industrial Security Command. Chrismon also posed as a missionary and used other aliases. Among the cognomens for Chrismon were Fred Lee, Jon Gould and Jon Gold.”
In his November 21, 1968 subpoena of “Fred Lee Chrismon,” Jim Garrison listed Crisman as engaged in the undercover activity for the “industrial warfare complex” and having “persons involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.” — JFK + UFO-Military: p 79.
TheMidlothian Mirror reflects on the photo of the “tramps” as showing a “co-director of the Mexican-based assassins, John H. Bowen, alias Fred Chrismon, alias Jon Gold, and Thomas Beckham.”[16]”
The tramps were also identified as Harold Doyle (pronounced ‘Dahl,’ as in Maury Island), John Gedney and Gus Abrams; said also to be Chauncey Marvin Holt. John Forrester Gedney was also identified as Edward Lansdale. [17]
(“The figure who has come under close scrutiny by some conspiracists is the late Major General Edward Lansdale, U.S. Air Force.Edward Lansdale is undoubtedly the unnamed ‘General Y’ in Oliver Stone’s movie ‘JFK.’ ” [18] Lansdale was a special operations officer with links to the CIA. His professional patron was CIA Director Allen Dulles.
“The character of the shady political manipulator, Colonel Hillindale, in the famous novel ‘THE UGLY AMERICAN,’was based on Lansdale’s activities in the Philippines in the early 1950s, where his operations reportedly included torture and political assassination [37:25]. In Vietnam, during the Eisenhower Administration, Lansdale managed several ruthless internal security programs for South Vietnam’s corrupt and oppressive dictator, Ngo Dinh Diem. These programs later developed into the CIA’s infamous Phoenix Program, which was responsible for the execution of over 20,000 Vietnamese and for the death and torture of countless civilians [37; 43:79-80; 7:40].)” (Pages quoted are from “The Ugly American”and Griffith.)
A thorough and intimate examination of Thomas’ works will reveal an assortment of trails into the Kennedy Assassination and the UFO Mystery. In an interview with Mike Sylwester on August 4, 1993, Fred Crisman, Jr., said that his father, Fred Lee Crisman, probably worked for the CIA. Fred Crisman, Jr., said, according to Sylwester and Thomas, that “his father believed in a conspiracy between the CIA and the Mafia to kill JFK and once remarked that Dealey Plaza had been landscaped in preparation for the assassination.” [19] — JFK + UFO-Military: pp 253, 259.
*******
BREAKAWAY CIVILIZATION
“(A Process of Decoding) Regardless of our experience or research, we seem no closer to finding an answer to the puzzle of the UFOs. These strange craft and their equally strange occupants behave in a manner that seems to contradict physics and logic, appearing and disappearing seemingly at will, dropping curious objects and artifacts (including potatoes and pancakes), mutilating cattle, abducting people and leaving cryptic messages embedded in the brains of their awe-stricken contactees,” states Kenn Thomas (in a 2004 book called “Saucers of The Illuminati”), “These activities, these odd messages seem only to compound our confusion as to who these interlopers on ‘our’ cosmic turf are and what their motives might be.”
Thomas describes some encounters as angelic (refered to as “The Space Brothers”), often giving out warnings about impending doom, while others are not so benign. Some witnesses claim to have been abducted against their will and even implanted with electronic brain devices for monitoring.
“Analyzing the conflicting signals that we have received about the nature of these visitors,” Thomas goes on to say, “it is almost as if we are purposely being misled and befuddled by these mysterious agents, purposely being deceived about the motives behind these visitations, and perhaps even directed in some mysterious transformative operation of which we are not aware.”
Thomas’ own UFO encounter happened in 1972 in the Los Angeles suburb of Upland, when he encountered an archetypal Grey alien staring in his face from a distance of about one foot. Kenn leapt out of bed and raced into the living room. When he returned to his bedroom, the visitor was nowhere to be found. Thomas questions the experience as a “cross-dimensional” defiance of dream and reality, and says he has never had an experience like that since. He compares the episode to happenings in Whitley Strieber’s bestselling book “Communion.” [20].
Much like Hanks’ theories, Thomas leaves many possibilities open, including hoax by UFO buffs and American Intelligence agencies in a ruse to conceal mind control operations, described in several tomes (such as those of Martin Cannon), he leaves the “latch string” out for other possibilities.
“One intriguing possibility is that the incident in Upland was one of beamed electronic mind control of the sort I have described in a number of my books,” continues Thomas. “The house where the incident took place was a large hippie/radical commune where any number of anti-Establishment pipedreams was hatched. The strange motley of activists in Technicolor dream coats that came and went from the place at all hours no doubt drew the attention of those who monitor such things. And so it occurred to me: Was I zapped electronically with the image of an alien? Was it just a byproduct of the chromatic chromosomes so prevalent at the time? I will probably never know. What I do know is that there are depths to the UFO enigma that are not plumbed by most researchers in the field, Horatio.”
An examination of Hanks’ works will likewise reveal a multiplicity of explanations for “strange phenomena and odd occurrences” ranging from “breakaway civilizations” to “independent private operations” to “trans human inventions” and reaching for the “Singularity” in which “a point where our own technological capabilities will become so advanced that they begin to mirror that of other intelligences in our universe, some of which may already be in our midst, though partially obscured by the limitations of human perception.” — The UFO Singularity: p 254.
Hanks quotes Martin Cannon from Cannon’s “The Controllers” to likewise highlight a crucial point:
“A mind is a terrible thing to waste___ and a worse thing to commandeer.”
DESCRIBED AS ‘DANGER MAN’
Among the multiple cryptic references to Fred L. Crisman, one mention as “Danger Man” seems most adequate; it is typified in Johnny River’s ballad from that period. Kenn Thomas chronicles the archetypal appearances of “Danger Man” in the 1960s television programs called “Secret Agent,” ” The Prisoner,” and “The Invaders,” as exemplified in Johnny Rivers’ song Secret Agent Man.

Secret Agent Man
There’s a man who leads a life of danger—
.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger—
.
With every move he makes another chance he takes—
.
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow.—
.
Secret agent man, secret agent man—
.
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name.—
.
Beware of pretty faces that you find—
.
A pretty face can hide an evil mind—
.
Ah, be careful what you say, or you’ll give yourself away—
.
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow.—
.
Secret agent man, Secret agent man—
.
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name.

1960s Actor Patrick McGoohan as “Secret Agent Man”
“Secret Agent Man” is a song written byP. F. Sloan and Steve Barri. The most famous recording of the song was made by Johnny Rivers for the opening titles of the American broadcast of theBritish spy series Danger Man, which aired in the U.S. as “Secret Agent”from 1964 to 1966. The song itself peaked at No. 3 on the BillboardHot 100.

[1] On June 24, 1947, the civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine objects, glowing bright blue-white, flying in a “V” formation over Washington’s Mount Rainier. He estimated the objects’ flight speed at 1700 mph and compared their motion to “a saucer if you skip it across water.” (In newspaper reports of Arnold’s sighting, this description was mistakenly taken to mean that the objects were shaped like saucers, leading to the popularization of the term “flying saucer” as a synonym for UFO.) Though Arnold said he initially thought what he had seen were test flights of military aircraft, the military later said they had been conducting no test flights during the time of the incident. A prospector on Mt. Adams saw the objects at around the same time as Arnold, bolstering his story. http://www.history.com/topics/kenneth-arnold
[2] The late John Keel highlighted the Maury Island debris in his book Operation Trojan Horse (page 174): “The flying saucers have been spewing all kinds of trash all over the landscape. … We can start with the slag dumped from the sky during the Maury Island, Washington ‘hoax’ of 1947. Analysis of this material showed it to be composed of calcium, aluminum, silicon, iron, zinc and other mundane elements. Heaps of this stuff has turned up since in New Hampshire, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and many other places following UFO sightings. It has often been found on hilltops and deep in trackless forests, places where it had to be dumped from the air. And it was found in Sweden in 1946.” http://thehollowearthinsider.com/go-deeper/Site_-_N_ew/4UFO.html
Some of the debris that Crisman spoke of, and was mentioned in Ray Palmer and Kenneth Arnold’s The Coming of the Saucers (1952), was still in their possession. Ray Palmer’s metallurgical analysis of the ‘real stuff’ found the material to be of high calcium, Iron, zinc and titanium content, with lesser traces of aluminum, manganese, copper, silicon, nickel, strontium, chromium, tin and cadmium. The book noted that titanium is used in missiles and space ships and that calcium has the affinity to capture radium and prevent contamination. http://thehollowearthinsider.com/go-deeper/Site_-_N_ew/4UFO.html

Ruppelt, in his book on his association with UFO investigation, sloughed-off the case as a hoax, despite the actual evidence: “He famously got many of the details wrong and deliberately obscured names of the principal players.”–JFK + Military: page 67. Research Ron Halbritter, May 27, 1997, quoted Ray Palmer as saying “Ruppelt hadn’t done his research.”–JFK + Military: pages 245-246.

News accounts of the crash and statements by Army officials hinted that sabotage had brought down the B-25 on which Davidson and Brown were flying.

“It has been traditional to teach school children that Christopher Columbus discovered America, that Charles Lindbergh was the first man to fly across the Atlantic and that the Wright Brothers invented the airplane. Time has since taught us that the first Europeans to touch foot on the continent of North America were the Vikings and that Lindbergh was the 85th man to cross the Atlantic by air. Would it be any more remarkable to learn, then, that the Wright Brothers’ brief flight in December of 1903 may not have been the first successful flight of a manned, heavier-than-air powered machine? This book tells the true story of aviation as it evolved from mankind’s first primitive attempts to fly to the remarkable successes of the early twentieth century in a non-technical and fun way, designed to impress upon the reader that the history of aviation is richer and more remarkable than they ever imagined.”
[7] Shaver’s world: If the Deros looked goofy, however, their activities were anything but. Deros use their ancient technology to control, or “tamper with,” the minds of surface dwellers. (Shaver hinted that many members of the world’s wealthy and powerful elite had been replaced by Dero-controlled doubles.) The Deros also abduct thousands of surface-dwellers on an annual basis, and subject them to the most depraved and excruciating torture imaginable. Deros enjoyed disassembling their victims, and keeping them conscious for months as living vivisections. Women were turned, by means of “sex stim,” into living furniture, while others were given “growth stimulation focused on breasts till they got enormous and gave milk like a cow which they use for a beverage.” http://2012diaries.blogspot.com/2011/09/shaver-mysery-part-3-few-years-in.html

These tero are locked in ceaseless combat with the dero, and some befriended Shaver: “Right under my feet men die on racks because the dero…have caught them trying to help protect Shaver.”
“The dero and tero populations of the caverns are dwarfed by a mass of human slaves as well as tribes of depraved freebooters who have drifted down from the surface world during various eras. While not as luridly evil as the dero, these too are a pretty loathsome crowd, vicious gangsters who slave and smuggle in alliance with topside criminals. Each major city apparently has its subsurface equivalent inhabited by these thugs, and many a ‘runaway’ gets sold down the shaft.” http://www.softcom.net/users/falconkam/feardownbelow.html
[9] “The Octopus” conspirator Michael Riconosciuto was aware of 1947 secret aircraft experiments at Boeing Aircraft and told Kenn Thomas on February 10, 1996 that Fred Crisman and Mary Catrinia Johnson at Boeing were involved in some kind of radioactive experiment: “…was a reactor of some sort on board this aircraft, it was an advanced radar platform of some sort.”–JFK + Military: p 256.
[10] According to the award-winning investigative journalist, Anthony L. Kimery:
“Documents surfaced in 1977 showing that Shaw had worked for the CIA since 1949. He had also been in business with former Nazis and European fascists involved in several CIA-supported covert operations throughout Europe, and there is strong evidence he had been a member of the OSS; he certainly had worked for a top OSS officer who was involved in Operation Paperclip.
“But did Crisman know Shaw from those days? It’s possible. Crisman is said to have been attached to the OSS. Intelligence sources say he was a member of a secret fraternity of former intelligence officials. Other sources swear he was involved in gunrunning and was closely tied to organized crime–two factions which certainly worked hand-in-glove at the time.
“According to Garrison’s information, Crisman knew Shaw well. One of Garrison’s informants said Crisman was ‘the first man Clay called after being told he was in trouble.’ The same source added that Crisman ‘flies to New Orleans steadily: 1964, eleven times; 1965, 17 times; 1966, 32 times; 1967, 24 times . . . he seems to have no income and certainly spends a large sum of money on air travel.’” http://maury.greyfalcon.us/crisman.html
[11] “In Joan Mellen’s book A Farewell to Justice, Fred Crisman had been identified as one of the hundreds of ‘spooks’ working secretly for the Intelligence community. In her voluminous research on the history of Jim Garrison and the Kennedy assassination, Mellen discovered that Crisman had association with the Offutt Air Force Base and worked with the United States Army Air Defense Command. A FOIA request of September 13, 1969 revealed Crisman as Agent 4250. A comment appeared: ‘…a man that is dangerous to the future of America.’” http://ufodigest.com/article/down-under
[12] Cannon studied the story of Rex Niles and his sister in what Cannon suspects was a “psychoelectronics” harassment experiment that seems to follow the characteristics of “abductee accounts.” Niles was cooperating in the investigation of his Woodland Hills firm until mysterious helicopters began to circle their home. The atmosphere outside their home measured 250 watts of microwaves, and a radioactive disk was found under his automobile dashboard. When Niles stepped near Lyn Silverman’s home computer, it also went crazy. All these ingredients can be found in UFO abduction cases, including the shutting off of televisions and stereos.
“But the radioactive disk is especially intriguing. As former FBI agent Ted Gunderson recently explained to my associate Alexander Constantine, magnetic radioactive disks have long been used by the clandestine services as cancer-inducing ‘silent killers’ – i.e., as tools of assassination,” said Cannon. “Not only that. The disc calls to mind one little-remembered detail of the Hill case – the dozen-or-so circular ‘shiny spots,’ each the size of a silver dollar, found on the trunk of her car directly after the abduction.” http://www.constitution.org/abus/controll.htm
[13] Dr. Leon Davidson was one of the earliest scientists that suspected CIA involvement in hoaxing UFOs. “I contend that since 1951, the CIA has caused or sponsored saucer sightings for its own purposes. By shrewd psychological manipulation, a series of ‘normal’ events has been served up so as to appear as quite convincing evidence of extraterrestrial UFOs. Some of this ‘normal’ activity includes military use of ECM on a classified basic unknown to the radar observers who were involved, leading to the Radar reports discussed in this article…” http://www.stealthskater.com/Documents/Davidson_01.pdf

“To Shaver, we have virtually unlimited potential. Within us is a huge untapped capacity for wisdom, strength, vitality, and beauty. We could be like gods. Instead, we’re a stunted, perverted bunch: we kill one another, poison our planet, and stultify ourselves with mindless jobs, cut down forests to put up ugly boxlike cities, vilify intelligence, and condemn sexuality. We think backwards and embrace everything that’s vile, nasty, and foolish.
[15] “Jung’s concept of synchronicity is complicated and poorly defined, but can be boiled down to describing ‘meaningful coincidences.’ The concept of synchronicity came to Jung during a period of mental illness in the early 1900s. Jung became convinced that everything in the universe is intimately connected, and that suggested to him that there must exist a collective unconscious of humankind. This implied to him that events happening all over the world at the same time must be connected in some unknown way.” http://www.livescience.com/43105-synchronicity-definition-meaning.html
[16] Investigators, such as Steve Thomas, suggested multiple Jungian-style synchronistic connections with the backgrounds of the tramps, their changing names, family history, and possible CIA and espionage backgrounds. John Forrester Gedney was one of the tramps, yet suspected to have prior ‘spook’ background: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=10779.
“(The blog by Joseph contains some errors, but the thrust of the article is intriguing) Having made rather too many enemies in the clandestine world, Kolbe finds himself in a safe house in Florida. He spends a number of pages indicating that this small town functions as a sort of retirement village for spooks. (In much the same way, old carnies would retire to Gibtown, also in Florida.) Faded spies are everywhere. Even the guy who bags his groceries is an old KGB defector — literally a bag-man.
“And guess who else happens to live in Spook Central?
“There was also John Forrester Gedney. Mr. Gedney retired recently after more than twenty years as a code inspector, inspecting houses, like mine, for compliance with building codes. You may have heard his name in the movie J.F.K., or read it in a book. For, as Mr. Gedney announced, and proved, last year [2003], he was one of the three railway tramps arrested behind the grassy knoll in Dallas on November 22, 1963. He was the tall one in the grainy, mysterious photograph used so often by conspiracy theorists as evidence that the CIA and other dark forces were behind the assassination of our president.” http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=10779
“My GUESS is the three tramps were folks who had no involvement in the JFK assassination. However, I do think the identification of Edward Lansdale by Col. Fletcher Prouty and Gen. Victor Krulak is extremely important. Skim down and read the letter by Gen. Krulak identifying Ed Lansdale as on the sidewalk just 5 feet west of the Texas School Book Depository.
“Major General Edward Lansdale was probably in operational charge of the assassination in Dallas. JFK did not make him ambassador to Vietnam in 1961, which Lansdale coveted. JFK did make Lansdale the Head of Operation Mongoose which was filled to the brim with CIA and anti-Castro Cubans who hated JFK as much as they hated Fidel Castro. Here is a photo of Lansdale taken on the sidewalk in front of and just a few feet west of the Texas School Book Depository: http://www.apfn.net/dcia/tramps1.jpg
“Forget the 3 tramps, the identification of Lansdale by Fletcher Prouty and General Krulak is the jewel in that photo! Edward Lansdale had a rectangular head: http://www.google.co…l=&oq=&gs_rfai= .
“Here is a 3/14/85 letter by Gen. Victor H. Krulak also identifying Edward Lansdale at the TSBD on 11/22/63: http://www.ratical.c…K/USO/appD.html. Edward Lansdale, the CIA’s assassinations expert, – his presence in Dallas indicts the CIA.”
[19]Steve Erdmann: “I believe there was a lot of multiplicity involved in the assassination so as to make the reality of whom and what was involved untraceable and to deliberately muddy the waters and cover up the reality of the facts. Different ‘hit teams’ were involved—all unbeknownst to each other, perhaps on an individual bases as well, and all with a private agenda coordinated to happen at a precise time. Eight to ten shots have been postulated by experts. There was a wide-range of decoys and fall guys in line for use and exploited. A whole rift of cover-up followed alongside.”
Monument Dedicated to Historic Reed Family UFO Incident Shakes up Small Massachussets Town Politics

*******
This past year has not only been “big” forThomas Reed, but it’s also been a “Big Year” for the quaint east coast towns of Sheffield and Great Barrington, Massachusetts. A distant memory — though far from faded — of an otherworldly incident that took place on September 1, 1969 was rekindled, and given new life by being inducted into the Great Barrington Historical Society as a “true and significant event,” making it the first ‘off-world’ case in the United States to ever gain such recognition.
The story of its of the Reed Family UFO experience, and its induction int the official history of Great Barrington, graced the front page of The Boston Globein February 2015. Subsequently, Thom Reed’s story and the official recognition accorded to it was picked up by other mainstream outlets like Channel 10 New York,KNOR 4 San Francisco, The Washington Times, Chicago Tribune, L.A. Times, Fox News and Canada AM.
Thom Reed is a Great Barrington native; a sleepy, Norman Rockwell-esque town nestled between the Taconic Mountain Range and the Housatonic River in the southwestern corner of Massachusetts. The bizarre experiences Reed and his family bore around their farmhouse property when he was a boy not only affected their lives forever, but, for one night in late summer of 1969, shook the entire town to its core.
Residents not just of Sheffield and Great Barrington, but those of Stockbridge and South Egremont inundated a live WSBS Radio broadcast with a storm of phone calls, reporting an unusual object in the sky!
Marian Burrows, Thom’s grandmother, described it as a “floating strip mall.” It was after leaving their family-owned Village on the Green restaurant, driving through the Old Covered Bridge, when Nancy Reed, with her sons, Thom and his brother, Matthew, and Marian witnessed an ascending object above the left side of their station wagon.
The account only gets stranger from there, as the Reed Family recollects fragmented memories of vibrating sensations, barometric pressure changes, the presence of non-human entities, dark rooms, bright, long hallways, crying out for each other, and subsequent “missing time.” The high strangeness that they experienced, though, didn’t start or stop on that Labor Day evening in 1969 — nor did the judgment and stark confrontations at the family bistro. Nancy Reed recalls and has recounted her family’s history with similar UFO phenomena as far back as 1954.
September 1st, 2015 – Monument to Reed Family UFO Event Erected in Sheffield, Massachusetts
Due to the stirring and historic scope of this event, a monument commemorating the event was ceremoniously installed in the local park next to the covered Sheffield Bridge. However, blow-back over its recent installation and the town celebration was, perhaps, inevitable from certain “local yokel” officials.
A Monumental Backlash in the Berkshire Record
An article was recently published in the Bershire Record, a local paper, accusing Thom Reed of going “behind the back” of his own hometown and sullying public property to institute a 5,000 lbs. monument for personal gain.
Reed, however, did no such thing, and replied recently that the paper’s stance was not only libelous, but verges on malicious. The monument, mounted with a plaque recognizing the Reed Family as key witnesses,t was constructed in dedication to the event. This was done so by, for and with the support of local residents who gave testimony to the Great Barrington Historical Society.
The event was a historic ceremony that would left Reed nearly speechless. Thom devoted the entire day to his father, politician, lawyer, professor, and pillar of the community Howard Reed Ph.D., who passed away suddenly and under questionable circumstances in 2006.
The article ran in the wake of the monument being defaced with graffiti to include an ‘X’ over the plaque and Thom’s late father’s tribute. We can ask ourselves how, in 2015, people can still be so fear-ridden and myopic? However, when we remind ourselves of a ruthlessly divided nation, and overseas wars from which some are so far out of touch that they may as well conclude that they are quite asinine, and then it’s not hard to imagine a resistance to the furtive multi-verse that lies just beyond the gasp of our 5 sensory perceptions.
Doing some digging, it seems that this “outpouring of opposition from town residents,” as described in the article that ran in the column “Just the Facts,” is really more an outpouring of opposition from a few of Sheffield’s jaundiced, financial “heavy hitters. “
We seem to hear a lot from Sheffield’s Historical Committee chairman, Dennis Sears, and not too much from anyone else.
“We’re very upset about it,” he expressed. “It’s a nice park, we don’t need this kind of crap.”
His comment makes me wonder if by “crap” he means local historicity, which, of course, we know he doesn’t, as he also stated, “I’m absolutely incensed that it impinges upon one of our landmarks, the covered bridge.”
The “covered bridge” referenced above is, technically, a recreation of the actual 1837 lattice bridge that was restored in 1974, and ultimately destroyed by a fire in 1994. A replica was erected in 1996.
In this sense, it seems to be more a personal aversion on Sears’ part to, let’s say, an uncanny event that was not only corroborated by eyewitness testimony, scientific inquiry, and the positive results of lie detector tests conducted at the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute, but was also given a classification by J. Allen Hynek during his Project Bluebook years, and was one of many presented at the United Nations Symposium in 1992.
The objective of the United Nations Symposium was to introduce several well-substantiated cases to motivate the U.N. to reconsider establishing an official agency or department for undertaking, coordinating and disseminating the results of research into unidentified flying objects.
It was 14 years later (to the day) that Howard Reed died under mysterious circumstances.
In this light, quotes obtained by the BerkshireRecordfrom “one man who declined to be identified,’” such as:
“This just makes us all look like a bunch of wackadoodles.”
Followed by Sears describing the monument itself as, “The junkiest piece of crap I’ve ever seen,” all come off as rather insensitive, and, at their worst, ignorant.
*******
This should be more about the history of the town, and the subsequent scientific implications surrounding it, and less about Sears’ sensibilities regarding the aesthetics of the park and, his proclamation (as a “1-Man Majority”) whether ‘this’ historical landmark 9i.e. the park) is more important than ‘that’ historical landmark (the monument to the Reed Family UFO contact).
While it’s understandable, even reasonable, to be cynical or reluctant about such an extraordinary local account (with global effects and serious philosophical (and as we see now, political ramifications), the fact of the matter is that credit is due where credit is due.!
The old 20th century epoch of ‘Ufology vs. Conventional Science’ needs to end now. We need a new lexicon for a new paradigm, which is what we are in. AsparapsychologistDr. Barry Taff says:
“Paranormal is a misnomer. It’s simply normal.”
Bearing witness to such an event, however inexplicable, hardly makes the town of Sheffield a pariah.
It actually established Sheffield as a unique historical site and sets it squarely on the chart of American history. Though UFOs and UFO experiencers have been branded with a stigma, even some shallow digging reveals that the UFO phenomena is more normal than we’d care to think about, as UFOlogy has become “mainstream,” and intimately entwined in our socio-political culture.
We often hear nowadays of the 1969 Apollo 11 crew who witnessed a strange light that tailed them for days on their way to the moon.
Astronaut Edgar Mitchellwho received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, continues to be open and outspoken about the existence of Life outside our paradigm. The list of astronauts who have gone public and/or been witness to seeing anomalous objects include Scott Carpenter, James Lovell, Frank Borman, Leroy Chico, Jane Oberg, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin.
The Iranian F-4 Phantom Jet vs. UFO Dogfight Over Teheran
Iranian F-4 Air Force pilot, General Pervez Jafari, with Robert Morningstar
Washington DC, November 12th, 2008
The D.I.A. (Defense Intelligence Agency) report recounting the 1976 Teheran UFO Incidentwhen on September 19th, 1976 two (2) Iranian Air Force F-4 Phantom II fighter jets intercepted an object at an altitude of 25,000 feet above Teheran and were unable to fire their AIM-9 missiles or use their instrumentation as the UFO fired a miissle that approached them, neutralized all their electronic equipement, radios and gudied missiles, only to return to the “mother ship,” which then descended to land on the desert floor northeast of Teheran.
The 1976 Tehran UFO Incident was a radar and visual sighting of a UFO encounter with two F–4 Phantom II jet interceptors
Another important statment came in June 1978 from US Department of the State director, Michael A.C. Michaud, who revealed that life from an outer solar system planet is a potential threat, which might involve the possibility of military action.
The Minister of Defense of Greece, E. Averoff Tostitos, informed NATO’s General Staff in Brussels that UFO’S operation are a potential danger and urged emergency measures to deal with them.
The 1997 Phoenix Lights were witnessed firsthand by the former Governor of Arizona, Fife Symington, who later disclosed his own sighting in a CNN article and expressed his laments in having made light of it during the press conference that followed.
While running for Governor of Georgia in 1969, Jimmy Carter saw a UFO that was observed by several other competent eyewitnesses.
Astronaut Story Musgrave, a Massachussets Native-Son, sighted UFOs
Finally, we have the testuimony of one of Massachusetts’ own astronaut, Story Musgrave, who grew up just minutes from the Reed Family home in Great Barrington. Although he generally does not attribute them to alien psacecraft, Musgrave has been outspoken about his own sightings of inexplicable objects, which he has seen and recorded on video during his missions. Story Musgrave and Thom Reed have often lectured together at some of the most respected UFO conferences and venues.
While more and more myteries of our universe are being revealed every day , these examples are only a few of the important UFO case histories now acknowldged by the US Air Force, the US Government and the United Nations and NATO alliance.
Just in the last few months, NASA identified Earth’s closest cousin, Kepler-186f, a planet that orbits its star in a “habitable zone,” has revealed proof of running water on Mars, and even announced the discoverey and detection of an anomalous star that had the internet buzzing.
In fact, although it hasn’t been determined who exactly defaced the Sheffield UFO Monument, these condescending cracks of the Berkshire Record about an event that is supported by a majority of its residents, and reinforced by a score of reliable local witnesses, are an attack on our nowofficialhistory and an affront to the community’s integrity. For many people in Sheffield and Great Barrington, there is a social responsibility, and, to a dedicated few, a commitment to our local histories.
Conceivably, some reckless narration coupled with sensationalized television has clouded and complicated what most may identify as the web of events associated with this 1969 incident. Also lost in the more sensationalized reporting were some noteworthy details, such as who The Reeds really are—a family of professionals, lawyers, business owners and politicians.
Marian Burrows was the governess to the grandchildren of FDR. Nancy was a horse breeder and the voice of WKZE FM. A proclamation was issued to Howard Reed by the Mayor of Manchester, Connecticut for his distinguished contributions in education. A city bench was even dedicated in the Reeds’ honor in Manchester, CT.
Thom grew up and went on from the quaint Berkshires of Western Massachusetts to found a modeling agency (MIAMI MODELS) in South Beach, Florida, that flourished in the 90s. In fact, it was his unique experiences as a child that got him interested in photography in the first place. “I told myself that if I ever saw something like that again, I would get it on camera,” he explained, “so I carried one around with me everywhere I went.”
Thom Reed’s impending, tell-all book, which will be split into three sections, will shed more light on many details, and then some. With more of the minutiae surrounding the 1969 event out in the open, we shall have an even better understanding of the event. ThomReed confides his feeling that “Moving forward, I hope we once again come together as a community, as that’s what New Englanders really stand for… Community.”

Thom Reed’s drawing of the Reed Family Alien Abduction in 2009
Previous UFO Digest Article on Great Barrington Historical Society Proclamation
A number of new scientific studies of human DNA have concluded that the popular theory of evolution is not completely true. Scientists now believe that Mankind acquired…through an extra-terrestrial source…foreign genes from microorganisms not of this Earth.
This new scientific theory which is sometimes referred to as the Ancient Astronaut Theory proposes that Mankind as we know it has an ET genetic code in a statistically significant percentage of the human population. The research published in the Journal of Genome Biology focuses on “horizontal gene transfer” between “alien DNA” found in a co-habitating environment. “This is the first study to show how widely horizontal gene transfer (HGT) occurs in animals, including humans, giving rise to tens or hundreds of active ‘foreign’ genes,” said Alastair Crisp from the University of Cambridge.
“Surprisingly, far from being a rare occurrence, it appears that HGT has contributed to the evolution of many, perhaps all, animals and that the process is ongoing, meaning that we may need to re-evaluate how we think about evolution.” The bottom line is that an extraterrestrial genetic code may be found in human DNA, according to the research of two Kazakhstan scientists, who theorize that human DNA may have an extraterrestrial “stamp” embedded into it. These scientists believe a highly advanced alien civilization “seeded” the Earth.
This theory coincides in part with Genesis 6:1-4 where the “sons of God” or theB’nai Elohim or fallen angels mated with human women and produced a hybrid species called the Nephilim.
“When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. (…) The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them.” – Genesis 6:1–4 (NIV)
This “Ancient Astronaut” theory could explain the reason for the existence of super-civilizations like Atlantis, Babylon, and ancient Egypt. There are also theories about the existence of Thule, which the Nazi-occult-rocket scientists believed in. Some believe there is a direct link between Atlantis, Thule, Babylon, and other civilizations.
There are a number of scientists and researchers who believe that the mythical super-civilization Atlantis existed and that over the ages it drifted, that continental drift caused by the spreading and subduction of tectonic plates moved Atlantis somewhere under the ice on the continent of Antarctica. In February of 2012 Russian scientists drilled through a massive layer of ice in Antarctica all the way down to Lake Vostok (a reservoir of liquid water between the bedrock and the icecap) and some scientists have hypothesized that remnants of the lost civilization of Atlantis might possibly be found there. The Greek philosopher Plato wrote that Atlantis was a super-civilization governed by 10-god kings and provided a model for how all civilizations, including our own should be governed by an occult elite. The legends of Native Americans resemble the accounts of Atlantis as they tell the story of Aztlan, which was destroyed by a great flood and whose inhabitants escaped to the Americas.
A common theme among these pre-flood super-civilizations like Thule, Atlantis (Aztlan), and others is that a super race that came from the stars with advanced technology not only bred with human women, but that they gave Mankind highly advanced occult technology and science, which allowed these super-civilizations to be built, along with unexplainable architectural monuments like The Pyramids, the Tower of Babel, and huge city-like structures under the ocean.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have discovered what appears to be foreign DNA … 145 genes that support some of the ideas of popular fiction in movies like Ridley Scott’s Prometheusand semi-scientific accounts like Eric von Daniken’s “ancient astronaut theory,” which proposes that planet Earth was seeded by extraterrestrials millions of years ago.
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has come under a serious scientific attack for simply not being true and the only reason that discredited theory is still being taught in universities, colleges, high schools and grade schools along with the mass media and government funded institutions is because it is being artificially kept in place by a kind of Darwinian Mafia or a form of scientific neo-McCarthyism.
In other words, the facts strongly indicate Darwinian Evolution is a failed theory. But if a scientist, teacher, or media person dares to speak the truth, they are subject to losing grant money, termination from jobs, ridicule by peers, and all-out personal attacks. So the growing number of scientists who know evolution is not true are afraid to speak up because their careers will be destroyed.
Film director Ridley Scott had this to say about the traditional Theory of Evolution:
“NASA and the Vatican agree that it is almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today without there being a little help along the way … That’s what we’re looking at (in the film), at some of Eric Von Daniken’s ideas of how did we humans come about.”
The traditional theory of evolution is no longer a viable explanation of Mankind’s origins. Ironically, there are two different accounts to explain human life on planet Earth in the Bible. The first account is that of an omniscient Creator-God who created Man in His own image, both male and female.
This is the Genesis account of Adam and Eve who were created in God’s imageand they therefore possessed the DNA of God, but they were tempted by an interdimensional being named Lucifer who came to them in the form of an upright Reptilian being or the “serpent of old.” When Adam and Eve rejected God’s Word they activated the Law of Sin and Death, and the life force of God began to leave them and they began to die.
In what is called an extra-book of the Bible, the Book of Enoch, we read about a different kind hybrid human conception, one involving extra-dimensional beings or fallen angels mating with human women and breeding the interspecies hybrid of fallen angel DNA and human DNA called the Nephilim. Normally, Biblical theologians do not classify an extra-Biblical book of the Bible like the Book of Enoch as having the same authority or divine inspiration as Biblical books like Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Revelation, etc.
However, when reading the Biblical book of Jude, we are given permission by Jude to examine the Book of Enoch regarding fallen angels who “left their first estate” and went after “strange flesh” or mated with human women.
The Book of Enoch predates the Book of Moses and for the first seven hundred years of Church history the Book of Enoch was highly respected among the early Church fathers such as Clement, Barabus, and Irenaeus.
The Book of Enoch was originally written in ancient Hebrew and was discovered in in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Enoch addresses the Tribulation Period before the return of Jesus Christ. The New Testament Book of Jude says “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, behold the Lord cometh with thousands of His saints…”Jude is referring to the prophesy of Jesus Christ returning with the armies of Heaven at the Second Coming.
Enoch tells how 200 fallen angels descended upon Mount Hermon and matedwith human women.In addition, these fallen angels gave fallen angel technology, science, and access to dark supernatural powers to Mankind.
Enoch Chapter 7:1 says “And they took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go into them, and mixed with them, and taught them charms and conjurations, and made them acquainted with the cutting of roots and woods.”
This is a reference to teaching Mankind esoteric knowledge, passing on supernatural powers, the use of drugs, sorcery, witchcraft, magic, and occult-sciences.
As we read further on in the Book of Enoch, we discover that the fallen angels gave Man occult technology, the art of war, shields, armor, weaponry, myriad perverse sexual practices, and science.
Secretly through the DNA of “Illuminati Bloodline” families and the passing on of secret knowledge and technology through secret societies, which we document in our book, The Babylon Code, all of this knowledge, illumination, and occult technology developed into what became known as …
“Mystery Babylon.”
Madame Blavatsky, the occult teacher whose disciple Alice Bailey set up Lucifer Publishing on the grounds of the UN and trained world leaders in the ways of the occult, commented upon “the Giants of Old” and the advanced science and technology they used in her book, The Secret Doctrine.
“In the same work above cited of the Abbe Pegues, the author wonders why in Bible and tradition, the Gibborim, (Giants, the mighty ones) the Rephaim, or … the Nephilim, or the fallen ones – (irruentes)– are shown “as if identical, though they are all men, since the Bible calls them the primitive and the mighty ones” – e.g., Nimrod.
The “Doctrine” explains the secret. These names [are all associated with the ‘Giants’ including] the race of the Atlantean Giants… ” Pages 278-279.
What is interesting is while many foolish Christian theologians debate as to whether or not fallen angels could have mated with human women, the leaders of the Illuminati and the words of occult teachers, like Blavatsky, continue to make a large impact on theUnited Nations.
The secret elite completely understand the reality of the Nephilim, Rephaim, and the interspecies breeding that happened between fallen angels and human women.
In addition, they understand its direct relationship to Nimrod, Babylon, and our New Babylon that is rising before our very eyes.
In our book, The Babylon Code,we stress the importance of decoding ”Mystery Babylon” and how at the center of Nimrod’s Babylon was the interspecies breeding ground between fallen angels and human women.
This is happening in our lifetime through Transhumanism and other sciences. The reason intelligence agencies around the world are now creating a global DNAdatabase and have developed new technology like portable DNA hand scanners that allow the police to capture your DNA in 24 hoursis because the elite are on the hunt for people whose family lines have this Nephilim DNA in it!
We document in our book the nexus of “Mystery Babylon” in the multi-dimensional link via Quantum Physics and technologies like the Large Hadron Collider, which is a Stargate.
Nimrod built the Tower of Babel to be a Stargate and Nimrod is a type of the Antichrist.
Babylon is being rebuilt in our lifetime and with it the great secret of DNA god-men and virtual eternal life. You cannot understand Bible prophecy or the Bible unless you understand the meaning of “Mystery Babylon” and how it applies to both the DNA of God in the Garden of Eden, the DNA of Jesus Christ which imparts eternal life, and the DNA of the Antichrist produced by fallen angel technology.

Corey Goode has shaken the Ufology community by making claims as a purported former Secret Space Program (SSP) operative.
When assessing a new source of information, especially when firm background information on the source is unavailable as in Mr. Goode’s case, the first order of business is a correlation analysis.
Corey Goode’s primary contact, David Wilcox, has done a good job of pointing out areas where Goode’s testimony is “in sync”with his other insider sources. But because those sources (of necessity) must remain unidentified, objective researchers must do their own correlation analysis based on whatever information is available. In this case, the correlation base will be entirely open source video. Even with that restriction, the results were more impressive than anticipated.
If the reader hasn’t seen or heard Corey Goode speak, below is a 45-minute interview summarizing his testimony. When hearing the source’s own voice and reading the subtle clues of body language, every person has their own built-in “lie detector”thatwe use to protect ourselves from used car salesmen, politicians, and the occasional government disinformation agent. After watching Mr. Goode’s testimony, if he is a disinformation agent (which unfortunately must be retained as a possibility), he is certainly convincing.
One of the first points of correlation I found with Mr. Goode’s account was with the interview security expert Bill Pawelec held to be released after his death in 2010. Mr. Pawelec is the notable inventor of the CIA tracking chip, which he devised after the kidnapping of several high-value American assets such as Brigadier General James Dozier in the 1980s.
This directly pertains to Goode’s testimony with respect to the SSPs in that one of the jobs Goode claimed to have performed was working with an ET group to retrieve Earth humans taken off planet as slave labor by one of the cabals. Goode claimed they were “tagged” somehow, which expedited their rescues.
In the interview below, Pawelec at 10:00 talks about a secret government bureaucrat ordering2 billion tracking microchips. It is a possibility that “at-risk” third world populations have been tagged during a SSP “vaccination program” of sorts, knowing some of them would be taken to the off world slave colonies Goode described. Pawelec also gives his views of the makeup of these Cabal power groups at 24:00.
Goode says the SSP faction he worked with are sometimes referred to as Solar Warden and fly “outdated” cigar or cylinder spacecraft, in that they are over a decade old and other SSP factions have been updating their technology continuously. He says Solar Warden has been making increasingly close fly-bys of the ISS to pressure the secret Earth governments toward Disclosure. Here are two interesting videos that may record such flybys.
One of the most interesting correlations is with respect to Goode’s testimony of an increasing number of “moon to Jupiter-sized” spheres reportedly entering the solar system to enforce a quarantine against meddling ET races.
Here is an extremely clear video from NASA’s SOHO solar observatory of a Saturn-sized sphere connecting to the sun by some sort of coronal siphon, then rocketing off into space. As a space aficionado since childhood, the author can attest that this is NOT a coronal mass ejection, solar filament, or other natural phenomena. This is an extraordinary correlation, and probably the closest thing we will get to proof of Mr. Goode’s story.
Goode said the first things the Sphere Beings did when they arrived was start bombarding the Earth with apparently harmless but intense pillars of light. These events made the international “bizarre news” in 2014.
The first video is notable for being taken by a professional photographer and his testimony backed up by the flight crew and recounted to recognized international journalists. The next video shows a pillar of light briefly recorded from the ISS before the feed was cut, which is becoming something of a “stamp of authenticity”when unexpected astronomical events occur. The third video is a montage of photographs purporting to record the pillar of light phenomena from ground level. It should be noted that while some of the photos appear suspect, the majority do appear to record a real event.
Goode says the “eggheads”in the SSPs were very perplexed by these “pillar of light” events, because the beams were not directed at human or ET underground bases, nor at the known Earth energy grid intersections.
One conjectural possibility is that if underground bases are powered by building them at energy grid locations, it is possible the Sphere Beings are attempting to alter the energy grid to cut off the power to hostile ET and human bases. This could be compared yo the police cutting the power in a hostage situation to pressure negotiations.
Goode said the next thing the Sphere Beings did was set up two energy barriers, one around Earth to prevent space or portal travel off world, and the other to prevent anyone inside the extended solar system from leaving and visa versa.
Goode said a number of human Cabal types attempted to flee Earth despite being warned and their ships were disabled after impacting against the barrier. He also said these advanced Cabal ships consisted of a small passenger compartment that would be mated with several types of “flight modules” depending on the mission. “Flown into them” were the words he used. Or flown away from them like an escape pod in this case.
Goode said that the most powerful Earth SSP faction is called Dark Fleet, which uses a mixture of advanced human and ET technology to conduct operations mostly outside of our solar system.
Interestingly, Goode claims the blockade went into place right after most of the Dark Fleet left the solar system on a massed mission. He describes the Dark Fleet ships as “pumpkin seed” shaped.
In May 2015, numerous residents of San Diego called the NBC affiliate to report a UFO over the Mission Hills area. The TV station sent a film crew who caught and recorded the truly extraordinary UFO video linked below.
When shown the footage, Goode commented that yes, it appeared to be a Dark Fleet ship, but for it to appear uncloaked at low altitude it either wanted to be seen, or was a hologram.
A great many naval officers live in Mission Hills, so if this UFO was indeed a Dark Fleet vessel or hologram thereof it could be theorized that this ship trapped inside the quarantine barrier may have been conducting a show of force for the Earthbound military officers below to unknown ends.
A highly significant event Goode reported was an attack by Solar Warden on one of the other faction’s bases on Mars. Goode reported that the Sphere Beings were extremely displeased, saying there were over 100,000 human slaves on that base who were also killed.
Interestingly, 30 minutes before the attack, NASA shut down the cameras on the Mars Orbiter. But the Indian Space Agency did not, and their Mars Orbiter took the photograph reported below.
Solar Warden was reportedly told by the Sphere Beings to refrain from lethal force thereafter except to enforce the quarantine. This was another highly unusual event, which was immediately countered by the usual “government experts” with somewhat implausible “dust devil”explanations.
Like the cutting of the ISS feed, when the government and the media (but I repeat myself) trot out the “Venus and swamp gas” experts to quash an inconvenient video, it serves as a signal flare of importance to the practiced observer.
In July, Goode reported a meeting took place “in a Midwestern US city”between Solar Warden and the “royals” of a hostile ET group trapped here on Earth by the quarantine. This very unusual sighting took place in the same time frame. Note the intricate details on the cube and the witness’s comment about a “palpable sense of evil.” In the author’s recollection, this configuration is unique and lends credence to the possibility that the craft may have conveyed “special” passengers.
Goode says that Russian President Vladimir Putin is drawing a hard line against the European-centric Cabal and any ET visitors associated with them.
This video showing a cube-shaped UFO shot down over St. Petersburg was taken less than a week after the El Paso video. Note the energy influence on the cube before it suddenly smokes and drops. This is highly characteristic of a laser-based weapon system. The reader can find several videos of similar unclassified laser weapons under test with a casual search. If this video is a fake, it was at least well researched.
A frequently used axiom in correlation analysis is that a single correlation is nothing.
A second correlation is coincidence.
A third correlation is evidence.
In spite of limiting the correlation base to open source material, several interesting correlations are revealed, many taking place after Mr. Goode’s statements and therefore clearly not a piecing together of unusual current events to bolster his story.

We are certain that many readers of UFO DIGEST are aware that scary horror movies and spooky television series are hotter than ever. As an author of over 180 books on the paranormal and the strange and unknown, I am often asked if it is true that a number of Hollywood stars have a great attraction to Satanism or if there are prominent actors who are active Satanists.
First, we must be cautious in defining Satanism and in suggesting certain Hollywood stars who may be–or have been– practicing Satanists. Satanism is a religion composed of a few small groups, which according to census figures in the United States and Canada, probably number less than 10,000 members.
Satanism preaches indulgence in personal pleasure and claims to offer a counterculture alternative to the civil and religious establishments, but none of the Satanic cults, such as the Church of Satan or the Temple of Set, worship a Satan that commands demons and seduces human souls into Hell. To these cultists, Satan represents a force of nature that inspires their own individual expressions of virility and sexuality.
Anton Szandor LaVey established The Church of Satan in 1966, but there are many kinds of free-form Satanism, mostly symptomaticof sexual unrest and moral rebellion.
There are also those individuals who, for a time, dabble in the occult, ceremonial magick, and other freelance rituals and who may declare themselves as Satanists. These individuals are essentially faddists, generally inspired by a current motion picture or television series that popularizes Satanism or Witchcraft, and their interest in Satanism is very short-lived.
Such religious cults as Santeria, Wicca, Voodoo, and various neo-pagan groups are often incorrectly identified as satanic, and it has been suggested by some that the statistics quoted by certain Christian evangelists, warning of millions of Satan worshippers, quite likely include all non-Christian religions as satanic, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam.
Satan and the Black Arts have greatly intrigued filmmakers since the days of silent films. The devil has been a featured player in motion pictures since the earliest days of the cinema, beginning with Georges Melies’ Cabinet de Mephistopheles in 1897.
The ancient tale of Faust, in which the satanic figure of Mephistopheles tempts the alchemist Dr. Faustus, was first filmed in 1900 with at least six subsequent versions until the Emil Jannings’ definitive portrayal in 1925. (In 1967, Andreas Teuber assumed the role ofMephistophelesin Doctor Faustus with Richard Burton playing Faust.)
Rex Ingram, the director of such major films as the 1921 version of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, starring Valentino, was fascinated with Aleister Crowley, the notorious magician, who was self-dubbed “the wickedest man in the world” and claimed to be an expression of “666,” the Antichrist. Rumors have persisted since the 1950s, that Crowley lived in Pasadena long enough in the 1920s to have founded a black magic coven, whose membership remains active. Some researchers insist that Charles Manson, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (the assassin of Robert Kennedy), and Richard (“Night Stalker”) Ramirez were initiates of this coven.
Rudolph Valentino relied on advice from his spirit guide Meselope, and Rudy’s wife, Natacha Rambova, was a spirit medium, who channeled The Great Lover himself after his death in 1926. Mae West wrote many scripts directed by spirit control while in a trance. Peter Sellers was an outspoken advocate of spirit guidance.
Lee Marvin, Susan Strasberg, John Travolta, Linda Evans, Elke Sommer, Clint Walker, Lindsay Wagner, Sylvester Stallone, Ernest Borgnine, Ann Miller, Glenn Ford, Tina Turner, Robin Williams, Gary Busey, Willie Nelson, and, of course, Shirley MacLaine are only a few of the many Hollywood celebrities who have had mystical experiences and who have become spiritual seekers. But surely, one could not interpret their interest in the so-called supernatural to be in any way“satanic.”
At the same time, many paranormal researchers have found evidence that negative and demonic entities are preternaturally attracted to Hollywood and its environs.
Well-known actors who have impersonated Satan for motion pictures include Adolphe Menjou in The Sorrows of Satan (1927); Walter Huston in All That Money Can Buy (1941), based on the Stephen Vincent Benet short story, “The Devil and Daniel Webster” and later reissued under that title; Rex Ingram in Cabin in the Sky (1943); Laird Cregar in Heaven Can Wait (1943); Cedric Hardwicke in Bait (1954); Claude Rains in Angel Over My Shoulder (1946); Vincent Price in The Story of Mankind (1957); Ray Walston in Damn Yankees, (1958); Lon Chaney Jr. in The Devil’s Messenger(1962); Donald Pleasance in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965); Vittorio Gassman in The Devil in Love (1967); Peter Cook in Bedazzled (1967); Ralph Richardson in Tales from the Crypt (1971); Joseph Cotten in The Devil’s Daughter (1973); Bill Cosby in The Devil and Max Devlin (1981); Jack Nicholson in The Witches of Eastwick (1987); Robert De Niro in Angel Heart (1987); Al Pacino in The Devil’s Advocate (1997); Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled (2000); Harvey Keitel in Little Nicky (2000); Ian Holm in Simon Magus (2000) and Gabriel Byrne in End of Days (2000).
There have been numerous motion pictures depicting devil worship and Satanism. Among the better ones are The Black Cat(1934) with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi; The Seventh Victim (1943) with Kim Hunter and Hugh Beaumont; Night [Curse] of the Demon (1957) with Dana Andrews and Nial MacGinnis; Eye of the Devil (1966) with David Niven and Deborah Kerr; The Devil’s Own (1966) with Joan Fontaine; The Devil Rides Out [The Devil’s Bride] (1968) with Christopher Lee; Rosemary’s Baby (1968) with Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes; The Ninth Gate (1999) with Johnny Depp and Frank Langella; Bless the Child (2000) with Kim Basinger; Lost Souls (2000) with Winona Ryder and Ben Chapin.
In the vast majority of the films listed above, Satan and/or his followers are defeated or thwarted by the forces of good. Rosemary’s Baby was the first highly popular film to leave audiences gasping at the devil’s triumph.
Anton La Vey believed that “The Satanic Age” began about the year 1966 and that Rosemary’s Baby was a significant precursor of many such films to come. The Roman Catholic Legion of Decency gave Rosemary’s Baby a “C” (condemned) rating when it was released in 1968 because of its “perverted use …of fundamental Christian beliefs, especially the events surrounding the birth of Christ, and its mockery of religious persons and practices….”
When I spoke with Anton La Vey after the release of Rosemary’s Baby, he said that he was enormously pleased with the impact of the film on theater audiences. He felt confident that people would get the message that in order to achieve material gain, to avenge themselves on enemies, to secure the favors of reluctant lovers, or to achieve other worldly benefits, they should make deals with the devil. La Vey predicted a great many new horror films that would reveal that apparently “nice” people often reveal themselves to be the devil’s disciples, actively working to further the cause of the Prince of Darkness,and that most of the films ended on a note of triumph for evil, rather than for the forces of good.
“Rosemary’s Baby, was a good beginning,”La Vey said, “but it wasn’t as explicit as the public could have been fed. They are not quite ready to see the devil turn out to be the hero and ride off into the sunset with the white hat. Of course, that is the inevitable end result, but it has to be approached gradually, so that now what you see in many films is an impasse where evil is not really defeated.”
At the time we spoke, La Vey was particularly pleased with The Devil’s Daughter, a 1972 made-for-television production starring Joseph Cotton.
“This movie was great for Satanists,” La Vey explained, “for Cotton, a supposedly saintly attorney, turns out to be the devil in the end. This is excellent. It shows that all those people who appeared to be such good folks were really the Satanists. And this, of course, is the way it really is. The nice couple next door or that executive whom you think is Mr. Nice Guy is a Satanist. The kindly doctor you know or the guy who runs the boys’ club or the little league happens to be a satanic priest. This is the way it really is.”
Ironically, Roman Polanski, the director-husband of actress Sharon Tate, was a bemused skeptic who doubted the reality of the supernatural.
In 1968, he completed Rosemary’s Baby, a film about a woman who is deceived into giving birth to the Antichrist. Based on the novel by Ira Levin, the motion picture boasted a superb cast, including Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon, Maurice Evans, Ralph Bellamy, and Sidney Blackmer.
Polanksi said in interviews that he had never considered the possibility that contemporary Satanism could exist outside the pages of a screenplay or a book. In fact, he admitted that his sole research for the film had been to examine one volume on the subject in order to obtain the symbols to be painted on Mia Farrow’s nude body for the scene in which Satan impregnates her.
On August 8, 1969, Polanski’s pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was viciously murdered by assailants who were obeying the instructions of Charles Manson, a man who declared himself to be the Antichrist. Abigail Folger, 26, had been stabbed in the chest and other parts of her body. Wojeciech Frykowski, 37, had been stabbed and shot. Jay Sebring and Tate had been stabbed repeatedly and were linked by a white nylon rope that had been tied about their necks and extended over an exposed beam in the ceiling of the living room. A black hood covered Sebring’s head. Immediate pressure was leveled at the authorities to learn the identity of the killer or killers, and as the investigation got under way, a number of disturbing things were unearthed.
When Jay Sebring’s car was found to contain various drugs and torture implements, stories began to leak out about the kind of parties Sharon Tate’s crowd liked to give.
As one of the peripheral members of the group told it: “The beginning of the party could be just like the normal-type party given anywhere in Hollywood, but then, around 1 A.M.–or whenever the ‘straights’ went home–Jay would bring out his goodies. That’s when the real party would begin.”
According to certain individuals who claimed to have been participants in some of the parties, Jay’s “goodies” generally included both hallucinogenic and hard drugs, as well as artifacts associated with satanic rites. Once, according to informants, Jay had even thrown a Lucifer party in which all the guests came dressed in black and were told to utter specific incantations as they entered the house. The very instances under which the bodies of Jay and Sharon were found appeared to indicate the influence of black magic on the murderers.
Whether or not Joan Crawford dabbled in Satanism, it seems that her home somehow became a center for demonic negativity. Sherry and I visited the Crawford home after mysterious fires had broken out repeatedly in the master bedroom. The current owners of the house had called in the Reverend Rosalyn Bruyere of the Healing Light Center to exorcise the house. Rev. Bruyere found many spirits in the house and picked up that at one time there had been strange rituals conducted in the home.
Christina Crawford, Joan’s adopted daughter, told us that Joan’s relationship with men was extremely violent. Christina said that she had always seen and felt strange things in the home: “Now, evidently, the walls are starting to catch fire! Other people have heard children’s cries in the walls! Every single owner has had trouble. The first onewas Crawford. She built the majority of the house. It was a small cottage when she bought it, but most of the house, she built. Every single family that has lived in that house has had horrible things happen.”
Christina said that the last words that Joan Crawford uttered were to a woman who was kneeling at the foot of her bed, praying for her. “As she was dying,”Christina said, “Crawford opened her eyes and said directly to the woman, ‘Don’t you dare ask God to help me!’ . . . and then she died.”
It was such arrogance, Christina said, that she believes is a major part of the difficulty with the seemingly accursed house. “She was capable of real evil,” she said . “If you have never experienced that look from another human being, it is almost impossibleto believe that such an experience could even exist! I think perhaps that’s why so many people are unwilling to deal with the shadow side because they can’t really get themselves to believe that such a dimension exists. My brother and I were absolutely terrified of her. In fact, there is a passage in Mommie Dearest that describes ‘the look‘ on her face when she tried to kill me when I was thirteen. We all saw that look. My brother and I talked about it extensively. . . it was not of an ordinary human being!”
Although Jayne Mansfield is the Hollywood star most associated in the popular mind with the Church of Satan, Bob Slatzer told Sherry and me that Anton La Vey once caused Marilyn Monroe’s spirit form to materialize. Slatzer, who had briefly been married to Monroe, met Anton La Vey and his wife at the home of a movie studio publicity man. During their conversation, he learned that La Vey was fascinated with Marilyn Monroe.
La Vey believed that about every eleven years astrologically, a cycle would repeat itself and the “dark of moon” would come back on Saturday, August the 4th, just as in 1962 when Marilyn had died.
La Vey needed some one who knew Marilyn very well to help manifest her. Bob agreed to La Vey’s making all the arrangements and picking him up about 10:30 P.M. La Vey had received permission from the then-current owner of Marilyn’s home to be there. Although she would be closing the gate, they were welcome to sit in the cul-de-sac.
Bob told us that he clearly recalled sitting in the front seat on the passenger’s side with Anton; La Vey’s wife was in the backseat. Anton had a tape recorder with prerecorded songs from Marilyn’s films. “At about 11:45 P.M.,”Bob said, “La Vey began reading something he had written. It was sort of like tongues or a chant or something. I didn’t recognize it. About 12:15 A.M., the night was still. Not one single blade of grass was moving. All of a sudden, a terrific wind came up! It seemed as if we were in a hurricane for three or four minutes, yet nothing else on either side of the road was moving.”
Then from out of nowhere the figure of a woman appeared in front of them. Bob Slatzer said it was as if somebody set her there. She had on white slacks with a little black-and-white, splash-pattern top, little white loafers, and 1 could see a shock of blond hair. She started walking toward the car. The woman was highly recognizable as Marilyn Monroe! Anton’s wife had practically turned white and looked almost petrified!
Marilyn hesitated for a minute, her hands clasped. It didn’t appear that she was looking directly at the car, but she seemed to be looking at an angle past them. Then she turned to her left and slowly started to walk down the middle of the boulevard. La Vey appeared as if he was frozen and stuck in a fixed position.
Slatzer saw that the spirit of Marilyn Monroe was about three-fourths of the way down the street. He got out of the car and walked as fast and as quietly as he could. When he was about 150 feet away from her, she turned, and as she turned, walked to the middle of the street– and vanished into thin air.
Those who knew Jayne Mansfield insist that she never became a Satanist. Some friends say that she was merely curious about its philosophy. Others state that she came to embrace its doctrines in order to curse her former husband, Matt Climber, and to ensure her receiving custody of her fifth child, Antonio.
According to a friend, it was in November 1966 that Jayne and her boyfriend, Sam Brody, drove with a press agent to the black magic cathedral home of Anton La Vey. Her friends say Jayne merely went to talk with the black magician and to view his satanic home. Others claim that the actress went to La Vey to ask his help in strengthening her career.
The only agreement among friends and witnesses centers upon the intense dislike that Brody and La Vey expressed for one another. One account has it that the satanic High Priest displayed two human skulls and a chalice with the warning that anyone who touched them would die. Brody laughed at the malediction and touched the artifacts, defying La Vey, who supposedly told Brody that he was doomed and demanded that he, Jayne, and the publicist leave the satanic church at once.
We know that Jayne and Brodydid return. Some say that they did so in an effort to placate the High Priest of Darkness. Others assert that the actress was hungry for publicity and knew that La Vey always got extensive press coverage for his antics. The occasion for their return visit, states one account, was to allow Jayne to pose with Anton La Vey for a photo layout as an act of propitiation for Brody’s sacrilege.
La Vey brought out his two sacred skulls, a silver chalice, and a “demon weapon.” He asked that Jayne pose in her trademark bikini, but she refused and wore a dress. She did, however, with the High Priest’s permission, pose with the fateful objects in her hands.
Brody had been opposed to Jayne’s posing with La Vey, but he promised to be on his best behavior. Then, according to one account, he began to fondle the holy statue of a naked woman that stood at the altar of the satanic church. When La Vey commanded him to cease, Brody sneered and blew out several black votive candles that surrounded the statue.
Infuriated, La Vey proclaim that because Brody had angered Satan with his acts of disrespect and that he would die within a year. Then, as Jayne’s friend May Mann remembers it, La Vey turned to the actress and warned her that if she continued her relationship with Brody, she, too, could face a tragic and sudden death.
Although Brody and Jayne made the decision to blow the curse off and to divert their attention from the malediction by enjoying a good dinner at La Scala, it was on that night that the first of their narrow escapes in a car occurred. On the way home from the restaurant, they were hit by another car and the Mansfield vehicle was totally demolished. Brody and Jayne barely escaped with their lives.
About a month later, Jayne’s five-year- old son, Zoltan, accompanied her to Jungleland in the suburb of Thousand Oaks, where she had agreed to pose for publicity photos. While she looked on in horror, a so-called tame lion suddenly and without provocation jumped on Zoltan and began to maul the child.
As the boy underwent several emergency surgeries and his life hung on a perilously fragile thread, Jayne, according to detective Milo Speriglio, flew to San Francisco to plead with La Vey for Satan’s intervention to save her dying son. Zoltan survived, and it is said that the actress credited the miracle to Satan and asked La Vey’ s forgiveness for Brody’s blasphemy.
Her pleas apparently were not heard. On June 27, on U.S. Highway 90, Sam Brody and Jayne Mansfield were killed in a car accident. Three of Jayne’s children, asleep in the backseat, escaped with minor injuries.
Jayne was not decapitated, as legend has the account of her death, but her long blond wig was torn from her head and the first look of the officers who arrived on the tragic scene misjudged the injuries.
Spirit guides, ascended masters, secret doctrines, astrological charts, ghosts, and Ouija boards are as much a part of Hollywood in 2015 as they were in the 1920s, but none of these attempts to place meaning to one‘s life should be considered Satanic.
Mediumship, arcane teachings, tarot cards, and visionary experiences have always been fashionable among the citizens of the Hollywood hills. The physical, mental, and emotional stresses of trying to make it in the movies or television, plus an actor’s own sensitive nature, may result in supernatural experiences that can more than equal on-camera fantasies.

August 29, 2006 – Many years ago, probably in the autumn of 1969, I was driving with my wife and another couple in my 1965 Ford Econoline van somewhere in rural western Massachusetts. I can’t recall where we’d been, probably on some weekend recreational outing, but I do recall we were returning to our homes in the Boston area. It was probably between 9:00 and 10:00 PM, very dark, with no moon.
Driving along the deserted two-lane road, I suddenly noticed a large middle-aged man lying on his stomach across the right shoulder, facing the road. As I drove by at about 40 miles per hour, he tried to raise himself using his left arm, and waved his right arm above his head as if gesturing for help. His dark clothing appeared ragged and soiled, and he seemed to be in severe distress. His restricted movements and facial expression suggested to me that he was seriously injured, and in substantial pain.
As I braked to stop, I asked my male companion who was seated in the passenger seat whether he’d seen what I’d seen. He said he had not. I hastily parked the van on the shoulder of the rural road, and we both leaped out and ran back along the shoulder toward where I’d seen the man.
The shoulder was not very wide along that stretch of road, and there was a deep gravel embankment that dropped steeply off the road, down about twenty meters into a broad, flat brush and wooded area below. There was no significant vegetation on the shoulder or the embankment below it, and no other apparent place near our location where a person could have hidden. The embankment looked pretty treacherous to me, it seemed to me that it would have been no simple matter to move up, down, or along it.
We reached what I thought was the place where I’d seen the man lying on the shoulder, I recall being quite confident that I’d gotten it right, but we found nobody there. Then, as we looked back behind us, we saw that apparently this same man had somehow gotten between us and our parked van. He was about half way between us and the van and running back toward it, away from us.
Fearing for the safety of the two women still in the van, my friend and I both ran back toward the parked van as fast as we could, following the running man from behind. We were running much faster than the mysterious man was moving, he still seemed somehow in poor physical condition, and we reached him just as all three of us converged on the parked van.
I was shouting at the man to stop, but he made no sound that I can recall. I did not even hear sounds of his feet on the road shoulder. As I was just about to leap on the man to tackle him from behind, he abruptly veered to the right, over the edge of the very steep embankment, but extremely oddly, he did not go down the embankment. Rather, he appeared to float off the shoulder into the air over the embankment, briefly, rising slightly. Then he seemed to shrink abruptly and vanish, as if collapsing.
This end to the chase transpired in just a second or two. We could neither see nor hear any further trace of the man, and I recall thinking in astonishment at the moment that there was no way he could simply have disappeared from our view.
The women in the van were oblivious to the goings on. They had been talking and were unaware of why we had stopped along the road and run out of the van, and they reported they had seen nothing, despite that there were windows in the rear of the van next to where they had been seated, which looked directly out onto the scene of the encounter. That surely seemed very odd to me at the time, and it still does. My male friend and I compared notes, and we both recalled seeing exactly the same bizarre sequence of events transpire.
There were no residences or other buildings near the place along the road where we’d stopped. We left very quickly and drove several miles to the first house we could find, where we stopped and asked to use their telephone to call the police. The area police told me that they could offer no explanation at all for the incident, that there were no missing persons reported, no penal or mental institutions were in that area, nor any other sort of unusual activity that might explain it.
Only upon later reflection did it occur to me that I’d almost certainly come upon a ghost. Actually, that’s another sort’a strange epilogue. I can’t recall the exact circumstances, but probably about five years ago, during idle conversation a very close friend and colleague inquired whether I’d ever seen a ghost. I said “no.” He furrowed his brow a bit, and asked me whether I was really sure about that. I told him that at least I couldn’t recall having seen anything I recognized to be a ghost.
Then he told me a brief story of his experience when he’d seen and spoken with someone who he was absolutely certain had been quite a long distance away, half way around the world or so, from where the two had run across each other. Only then did the story of the strange man lying along the road come back to my mind, and only then did I finally realize what I’d evidently encountered there that night.
This friend and colleague is a very scientific, logical and a careful observer and reporter. This question of his to me about ghosts was way out of character for him. In retrospect I wonder if there’s more to that question than he has told me yet. Was I the one he’d encountered where he knew I wasn’t?
Or something else? Some day when the mood seems right, I’ll ask him to revisit that topic for me.
Epilogue:
I last amended the above text on December 24, 2003. After that, not quite a year later, I had the opportunity to ask my friend about his ghost inquiry. He told me the identity of the doppelganger in question was private, and he would prefer not to identify that person to me. I assured him that would be fine with me, but I did want to know from him whether that individual was myself. He then assured me that it was not me.
Sadly, that was the last we ever met. About a year ago, on a motorcycle trip from his home in the San Francisco Bay area of California to a motorcycle rally event several states to the east, my good friend died in a solo motorcycle crash. No one witnessed the accident, but evidently it happened after dark when he failed to negotiate a curve in the road, flew at high speed over the edge of a steep embankment, and died on impact at the bottom of it, a long way down.
I haven’t yet visited this accident site, but everything I can learn about it seems very similar to the situation I describe in my true ghost story above. My ghost encounter occurred probably only a few months after I’d first met this long-term friend in Palo Alto, California, during the summer of 1969. And of course, the ghost encounter was on the other side of the North American continent from where my friend eventually died.
Could it have been him? Yes, perhaps. I caught only a brief glimpse at the ghost’s face as I drove past at ordinary road speed, so I can’t recall much of that image. After that all I saw of the ghost was from behind, and I do recall that image pretty well. And indeed, the ghost was tall and lanky, just as my friend was, and the ghost seemed to be an older middle age individual, again just as my friend was when he died.

April 22, 2015
He had been taken from the desert, in Texas, when he was seven years old.
His father, shot-gun in hand, and he had been climbing rocky outbreaks amidst cactus and scrub.
They had hunted coyote there before, and had used a coyote lure, a blow- into device that produced a sound that resembled a rabbit’s cry of pain; with their backs to the setting sun to blind the predator’s approach, they had shot and killed six, that evening.
But soon they had become prey and not predators.
A large saucer shaped craft had appeared overhead.
It had appeared from nowhere, instantly.
It was blue like the sky, slowly changing to brown, like the desert floor, then silver as though the color progression change of metal cooling.
Later, when his father had awoken, a shell had been discharged, missing from the chamber, but he had no memory of ever firing the gun.
The seven year old had been swept aloft into an overhead craft and examined by small, dark, large-eyed, hairless beings with large pear-shaped heads extended in the back.
They had a thin torso, long arms with three long fingers, spindly legs, no ears and mere slits for mouth. The large black eyes strangely had compelling power.
“You will not remember!”
But he had remembered … He had felt pain unlike any ever imagined and he screamed. The large black-wet eyes had stared at him endlessly, extensively, close up to his head.
“This will not hurt.”, they had said. But agony had suffused lines and channels throughout his body. Terror, rage and pain had overcome him.
The creatures had been puzzled by his pain, saying:
” You will not remember.”
When he was returned to the desert floor, some forty minutes later, his father looked switched off, eyes glazed; saliva dribbled from the right corner of his mouth.
It was his sobbing, he had then believed that had awoken his father. His father had told him that he had imagined and dreamed it.
“The Texas sun can give you heat stroke, make you see things”, he had said, holding the shaking boy close and placing a hand over his son’s forehead.
” Let’s find some shade.”
They had walked to the shade of hemlock and mesquite at the foot of rock outgrowth and had eaten bologna sandwiches with yellow mustard and had washed it down with canteen water.
During this, the child had held his father’s hand and had not let go; while his father had chewed slowly watching his son in puzzlement, the child had stared upwards in fear.
When he was seventeen, an abduction’s violence became mutual, one night :
Photo taken over Scotland on September 20, 2011
*One night, a creepy psychic feeling had prevailed, and aware of them, and their approach, he had pretended to be asleep, had gone into deep, regular breathing, and had visualized a dream he would like to be in, but instead, he had waited.
‘The wallpaper on three walls had distorted and bulged and animal-like small snouts and pear-shaped grey heads, on small creatures had waggled in rapid fashion, back and forth.
They had seemed to melt out of his bedroom walls, had stood coldly to surround him and his bed, one close by his side, two at the footboard, and another by the doorway.
He had jumped up and had grabbed the closest one to him around the neck, had clutched the feather-like being’s back to his own chest, pinioning him.
The creature had frantically struggled to hit him with a small hand-held rod-like device, but the pillows had prevented the creature from reaching the teenager’s body with it.
In panic, the lightweight creature had squirmed and had thrashed in the boy’s tightening grip.
The others had in quick moves, like jumping spiders, scattered from the tight circle. He had tightened his grip and had squeezed hard until something brittle had snapped in the creature’s neck.’
Suddenly the scene had changed; he had seen his whole family, brother, mother and father surgically eviscerated, but alive and in tears.
On a black floor under hospital lights, had been lungs, intestines, strewn amidst their gore, and as they had laid there amidst their organs, they had pleaded with their eyes for him to save them.
The image had been so real that it had successfully worked to confuse, startle and distract him.
He had been convinced that real harm had come to his family and he had quickly loosened his grip.
His parents had writhed in agony, butchered horribly in front of his eyes.
There had been a dank, musty smell that had then permeated the bedroom.
The creature in his arms had, in self protection, in desperate panic to free itself, flashed the imagery into his mind, but he had killed one of them.
They never came for him physically, after that night; when he was safely deep within R.EM. sleep; they would tease away, vibrate his astral soul, from his body left behind in bed, in alien astral abductions, and he’d awaken with vivid screen memory “bad dreams”, feeling even more bereft, completely unable in out of body abductions, to strike back at his tormentors.
He once read that another abductee wrote:
‘A leap in consciousness will require a dissolution and restructuring of your beliefs about the nature of reality’.
To his mind, to live unburdened by an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the mysteries of the motives and tactics of the pilots of UFOs in our universe, was in itself, quite an amazing thing.
But her eloquent published words brought him peace:
‘The history of mankind has been punctuated by personalities who refused to be bound by the grand illusion of space and time, seekers who penetrated the limitations of space and form.”
“Knowing that the aliens reside in a different reality explains why this whole UFO phenomenon is so slippery; we exist within a matrix of other realities all merging in one spot: the mind.”
‘Their world coexists with our own intimately intertwined and separated by the thinnest veil- our arrogant assumption that we are the sole proprietors of the only reality.’
And he knew forever, by her words, that Earth is being invaded, one person at a time, and that abductees, are all alone, together..
POSTSCRIPT:
Rather than a fear-based approach to Dark Force Entity safety and caution, I prescribe a required spiritual “shift” towards the equally unseen goodness of the spirit world, and away from fear.
Unlearning fear is a step by step acceptance and assertion, of one’s spiritual ‘self’, a distance far and away from fearful defenses mustered by one’s material physical self.
One’s longitudinal approach to any self-defense must be a spiritual one, and not a physical one.
For defenses to flare, one must recognize that one is not a person having troubled spiritual problems, but instead an eternal soul having troubling human experiences. From the stance of self-recognition as an eternal spirit, one can then insist on “one’s own space’, as spiritual fruition.
Avoid church-based or organized religions and put the Bible on the same shelf, as the Tooth Fairy for God, is real, but He is down a long hall, and somewhere else..
*Based, in part on a Gulf Breeze account, from The Sixties
Spending a lifetime, recalled in snippets, with highly psychic abducting entities, has made my intuitive prowess mushroom.
Hazards exist, and one can flirt with the beast of madness, when inter-dimensional bleed-throughs become too commonplace.
I went to a presumed psychic who turned out to be a fake, who slyly contrived a cold reading, with almost nothing apropo, from him.
I ended up by reading him, telling him that a red haired woman (who turned out to be his mother), sitting next to him, was quite unhappy about what he was doing!
He confirmed this detail, quite surprised , and produced a photo of his mom, who had passed away earlier that year, a bright auburn, like Lucille Ball.
When I expressed my indignation at his attempts at a cold reading, a blatant fishing for clues from my face and body cues, to his many questions, he agreed to refund my $300!
Rarely, had my ephemeral prowess been used with such alacrity.
After abductions, the inter-dimensional door, left open, also invites in the gangster fringe element of the spirit world.
Like allergy sufferers, psychics have a hyper sensitivity, to the unseen.
A cautionary tale, for sensitives, is that
watching television, in itself, (like driving, or playing a musical instrument) puts one, unknowingly, into a light trance more commonly achievable by hypnosis.
Such trance states magnify the mind’s power of a sensitive, to receive and transmit, and that mind
acts as a light-house beacon, to easily bring in dark spirits, who like great white sharks, coast in.
Sensitives need this trouble, like a submarine needs screen doors.
Are those who have a Third-Eye cursed or blessed?
What if it stems from experiences with non-humans?
Aliens communicate mind to mind with abductees during kidnappings; one’s thoughts are read and one hears their deep resonate voice within one’s skull.
It is hard to explain , but it is possible to do this alone, when one is not aboard an alien craft, being micromanaged.
One technique that I as a budding psychic use, is to internally tell myself that I wish to be “open”, and then I relax, as I await an insight or mind’s eye picture.
This works well, and it oddly oftimes helped me to deliver an English lesson, during my long teaching career.
A teacher’s predilection to amaze a student, is an opportunity to make them pay more attention to your words,.
When I taught college World, American and English literature, I would halt the lesson, when I saw that I was boring them, by interjecting a random ‘read’ of a pupil who was markedly off day-dreaming, eyes out of the window, brain in the hall, a pupil in a deep literature coma.
As an attention getting device or a means of embarrassment, I would from left field give an odd detail of his private family life, a detail known only to him.
It could be as simple as mentioning that he left a trumpet and a magazine about racing bicycle travel, left behind on his unmade bed.
His eyes would be wide open pools of attention, for the rest of the week.
But garnering a reputation, by doing such uncanny feats, seemed all at once to backfire.
Once, teaching English Literature at a college, I was stopped in transit in a busy college hallway, by an unknown female student who grabbed my arm and blocked my path, to class, and said,
“Read me; I want you to read me!”
Startled and affronted, I wondered how the student grapevine knew I could do such things, suddenly worried about job security if Administration became aware, worse than the affront by this rude student.
I shook my head, disapproving, and dismissive and told her,
“Forget it!”, but she physically half-pushed me against a wall, and I felt an almost affectionate assault!
She insisted again.
I relaxed completely, annoyed, in resignation, and was suddenly flooded with the shoreline image of a vast body of lake water, a shore surrounded by water, and I was adrift far from shore.
This strong image was now accompanied by a vague feeling of dread stronger than my indignation.
I quickly asked her,”Why am I seeing water?”, to which she shrugged.
I asked her again.
“I’m seeing water, what does that mean, to you?”
She shrugged, again.
“I have no idea, what it means, but you perhaps do”, I prodded.
“Why, water?”
“Oh,” she said, “I’m on the swimming team.”
I quickly told her,”promise me that you’ll never swim in a lake, it’s far too dangerous to take that chance, in that you might drown, but also promise me, now you’ll tell absolutely no one, about this conversation.”
She smiled and nodded, and I, late for class, hurried elsewhere, having felt being taken advantage of.
For me, a relaxed mental and physical state allows imposed images to float into mind, a relaxed state, accompanied by an open expectation, that I WILL receive, like a fat catcher, behind home plate.
A real problem, exists in trying to decipher just precisely what that image, or series of images, might mean.
It is a psychic muscle that all of us have, a muscle that remains largely unflexed and flabby, culturally under developed, except revealingly, for many alien abductees who report similar intuitional experiences.
Spiritual experiences, untoward and impish, prevail.
Not yet able to ground myself, I often find at dusk and nighttime that I’m inundated by unseen gate-crashers, my energies jumped upon by negative- thought- beings of many ilks, who like unerring persistent yellow-jacket-wasps, at a can of cola, on a picnic table, worry at me.
After a stunningly unpleasant interdimensional reptilian ‘encounter’, I was forever more than merely aware of their unseen interdimensional existence and diabolical brilliance.
Aferwards, I was loathe to ‘ask’ within, warily uneager to ‘receive’, or willing to trust ANY internal daydream-like images.
Reptilians searing psychic attacks were THAT insidious.
I have grappled with the reason why one would suffer such psychic-telepathic attacks, through broadcast nightmares from dark force entities and I think perhaps, at least in my case, forced beyond any willingness to write, that God sends some people into the darkest corners, to illuminate them, for others..
As an aside, to UFO investigators who allow themselves to only cling to ‘hard evidences’, I chide that
we cannot ‘prove’ that reptilian aliens fancy the taste of human beings.
For years, at meetings at Bud Hopkins house in New York City, abductees, over the years gleaned that ‘ we are a harvest’, a mere condiment in the Universe, an echo of Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man”, as UFOs revealed a reptilian god, who fancies diets of human flesh.
“Hard facts and empirical scientific evidence”, assist in collecting evidences in superficial craft sightings, as logistics, but such an approach fails to reveal humankind’s continued interactions with non-human intelligences behind the steering wheels of UFOs and behind our spiritual curtains.
Yet researchers in this field are stodgy and backwards, ill equipped to understand an alien hall of mirrors with a quicksand floor..
“Providing real proofs”, when the subtle evidences glare, like a trout in the milk, is a valueless endeavor, in this subtle unseen realm, a worthless forensic insistence for concrete evidence that counter-intuitively inhibits, rather than illuminates, this elusive subject.
Psychic powers of abductees are resultant precipitates in an alien solution, a precipitate that resists “hard facts and evidences”.
How does one document psychic and uncanny, bizarre open-eyed ‘ visuals’?
At a recent dinner, when a friend mentioned her loved, but long deceased brother, a man’s face slowly emerged from the right side of HER face!
It was like double-vision; they were identical, but he was a young man.
I was shocked, pained that he had not moved on, but had chosen instead, to jump aboard her energies and
I stared at her, fish-eyed.
I simply said,”You and he had the exact, same face.”
She said, yes, they always looked like identical twins.
My wife put down her fork and said,
“There he goes, again, saying those things he could, not possibly know, and where does he GET those things from ?!”
I did not attempt to explain, horrified that he was likely fully aboard her energies rather than having crossed over.
Many abductees, experience such blatant altered mind ‘receptivity’ to suffer inter- dimentional ‘bleed-throughs’.
I can tell when work-horse aliens, small greys, are nearby but unseen, by an intense ‘elevator experience’ :eyes on your back of your neck’-, combined with a very creepy feeling; they generate a strong psychic ‘creepy’ feeling.
Who actually micromanages us, behind our psychic curtains?
‘Inspires’, literally means,”to blow ideas into “, so that we receive, hear and see psychic images’ impositions and after meeting reptilians, I have my own suspicions.
Dark ones, like gargoyles perched on your roof, can also see down the street of your ‘road’, far enough to supply near- future happenings, but they are NOT the elevated angelic souls, ascended ones of LIGHT, you’d hoped.
Inter- dimensional demons or reptilians cruise in like sharks, and cause extreme psychic distress, panic attacks, nightmares, and poltergeist manifestations, the beast of madness, itself..
I write often, about my psychic ‘rabbit-hole’,
having gone so far down that hole, that I often fear I don’t have enough breadcrumbs, to find my way, back home.
Aliens notwithstanding, psychic prowess is a spiritual gift, a muscle to be exercised and flexed, until Heaven, ready to use us for some higher good, steps in to make sense of it all, for us.
Psychic hypersensitives can best defend against such alien predators of consciousness, by
visualizing an electric purple light aura around one in every direction; this color is most effective,
simple metaphysics, fighting fire with fire.
The more time spent visualizing this protective light, the more effective it becomes.
“Seeing” electric-violet ‘around one’ successfully repels even stronger types of reptilians and demons who cannot endure such purple visualized high frequencies, for long.
With practice, this visualized technique wins out in any short-lived pitched battle against beings diabolically brilliant, insistent and predatory.
To abductees, Earth seems under invasion, one person at a time.
We must try to keep to the narrow path of a higher moral ground to instruct them of their wrongdoings.
One must endeavor in goodness and moral ingenuity, to prevail against them, having first won God’s assistance and Heaven’s intervention.
After all, we are much closer to God than they are.

David Ferrie at St. Charles’ Seminary in the early 1940s
PART I:
THUNDER & LIGHTNING
Judyth Vary Baker knew David Ferrie as a man of many faces: legal advisor for New Orleans Mafia Don, Carlos Marcello, aircraft pilot for several Mafia families, CIA asset, defrocked priest, anti-Castro adventurer, seducer of men and teenage boys, participant in an anti-Castro bioweapon plot, and a key to the JFK assassination.
“The Coup d’ Etat in 1963 took control of an inconvenient two-party system to run its self-protecting corporate agenda, with the CIA, FBI, banking interests and the military-industrial complex cooperating,” says Baker …
“And when the Supreme Court recently ruled that corporations could, in essence, buy any and all political candidates through ‘donation,’ with no limit on what could be spent to influence votes, the American government became a prostitute whose services were purchased by the highest bidders.”
DAVID FERRIE: Mafia Pilot, participant in anti-Castro Bioweapon Plot, Friend of Lee Harvey Oswald and the Key to the JFK Assassination,Judyth Vary Baker,TrineDay LLC, P.O. Box 577, Walterville, Oregon, 97489, 1-800-556-2012. For details, Contact: Publisher@TrineDay.net, www.trineday.com, 2014, 521 pages, $24.95.
David Ferrie’s connections to the Military-Industrial-Complex began in early 1952 when he became involved in the New Orleans Civil Air Patrol (CAP). There, Ferrie began instructing air cadets, often in summer encampments at the local air force bases.
Ferrie became a CAP commander in 1953.Lee Harvey Oswaldenrolled as a CAP cadet only July 27, 1955 (Serial No. 084965).
Oswald attended meetings at Moisant CAP Squadron, Lakefront and Abita Spring, Louisiana.
Eddie Voebel, a friend of Oswald, said that Oswald “had been a cadet in Ferrie’s CAP squadron in 1955 and that the recalled Oswald attended a party at Ferrie’s then-home at 209 Vinet Street.”
Researcher Lee Farley mentioned that David Ferrie was instrumental in “grooming”Oswald and his consequential enlistment in the United States Marines. Ferrie told the local Marine Corps recruiter that Oswald would be good in the CIA because “he could keep his mouth shut.” (Page 73.)
THE HEATH KIT CONNECTION
In 1953, David Ferrie developed an interest in philosophy and took a course at Tulane University, site of the Tulane University School of Medicine
At this famous clinical research center, Dr. Robert Heath, M.D. (a CIA-funded medical researcher charged with finding “the human pleasure center” in the brain), had 120 psychiatric patients on whom he used subcortical electrode stimulation. One of the fascinating people who would “drop by” to visit Heath’s clinic was David Ferrie.
In 1954, Ferrie began studying for a doctorate in psychology from the University of Phoenix. Ferrie spoke of his “bringing patients” to Heath’s office and, also, flying “sensitive” psychiatric data between Tulane’s Psychology Department and other hospitals and departments. CIA agents approached Heath to conduct human and animal tests of bulbocapnine.
Bulbocapnine is an alkaloid found in Corydalis and Dicentra, plants in the family Fumariaceae that can cause fatal poisoning in sheep and cattle. — Wikipedia
*******
The 1957 CIA Inspector General Report stated that “the knowledge that the agency is engaging in unethical and illicit activities would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles.”
TheU.S Army funded a Tulane Electrical Brain stimulation program conducted by Dr. Robert Heath, and (according to Australian psychiatrist, Dr. Harry Bailey) used blacks because “they were everywhere and cheap experimental animals.”
In June-July, 1967, Ferrie wrote a thesis for his PhD in psychology about hypnotherapy and received his PhD. in psychology.
FERRIE AND VOODOOISM
It was speculated that Ferrie was involved in a matrix of activities including his Civil Air Patrol activities, his job as a pilot at Eastern Airlines, pilot for mobster Carlos Marcello’s lawyers (and flying to Guatemala to smuggle Marcello back into theU.S. after his deportation by AG Robert F. Kennedy), and, according to Victor Marchetti, “had in fact been employed by the CIA.”
VictorMarchetti was Deputy Assistant to the CIA Director. — Richard Helms (page 82).
“THE PROJECT”
To Develop a Bioweapon Against Fidel Castro
David Ferrie was additionally connected, it was speculated, to the CIA’s MKULTRA (mind control) program through Dr. Alton Ochsner (one-time friend of Office of Strategic Services [OSS] Chief “Wild Bill” Donovan), and Dr. Mary Sherman, a cancer researcher .
Ferrie met Dr. Oschsner through Dr. Sherman, both cleared for work on a “Sensitive Position”(Page 97.) Baker later learned that it was referred to as “The Project”: A cancer experiment to develop a cancer serum as a bioweapon to be used against Fidel Castro.
In order to convince Baker of the reality of The Project, as government sponsored, she is introduced to a gruff detective and CIA/FBI asset, Guy Banister, who speaks at length of his clandestine contacts:
“Ferrie’s project was legitimate. Even the CIA was backing it, along with the city’s crime boss, Carlos Marcello,”says Baker. “Banister was quite serious.”
Banister’s agency was involved, not only with Mary Sherman’s bioweapon project, but also with the CIA, crime boss Carlos Marcello (because of the Intelligence alliances), and a spy ring against Castro and Communist activities (Banister was a formerFBI agent (once, at his height heading the Chicago FBI Office). After leaving Chicago, Banister continued to gather evidence against the corrupt New Orleans Police Department.
“When Dr. Sherman shows me a powerful new cancer developed over the past year, I am stunned by its vigor,”says Baker about 1963.
“I agree to do what I can to stabilize the cancer and help transform it from a mouse cancer to one that will attack human tissues, only later will I realize that the cancer could be stolen and used to silence political enemies ‘forever.’”
Dr. Alton Ochsner in Surgical Garb
Judyth Baker’s early career into cancer research and her connection with Dr. Alton Ochsner was amply illustrated in her book “Me & Lee: How I Came to Know, Love and Lose Lee Harvey Oswald,” TrineDay Publishers, 2010.
New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison summarized an understanding about the “anti-Castro” Radical right situation, stated in Garrison’s November 22, 1967 Playboy Magazine interview: members of the paramilitary right, anti-Castro exiles, were extremely worried about Jack Kennedy’s policy of détentesucceeding.
The CIA was involved in much of this intrigue in a “mixed bag” of Minutemen, Cuban exiles, other anti-Castro “adventurers” training for a “foray” into Cuba. Along with an assassination attempt on Fidel Castro — there was also the bioweapon Project of Mary Sherman.
“David Ferrie, who operated on the ‘command’ level of the ultra-rightists, was deeply involved in this effort,” says Baker. (p. 224)
BUGGING DEVICES
One of the earlier choices by Banister for someone to be Ferrie’s laboratory assistant was Michael Riconusciuto, “a young genius in electronics, biochemistry, chemistry and computers…”(For more information about Rinconusciuto and his place in the espionage web, see “The Octopus from Hell,” Parts I and II:
Riconusciuto may have aided Banister in various “bugging” operations, such as placing devices in Clay Shaw’s house in the summer of 1963; Riconusciuto was adept at installing “bugging devices” and electronic surveillance equipment.
Baker lists witnesses that saw Banister and Ferrie together, such as Vernon Gerdes, Dr. Michael Kurtz, George Higgenbotham, Rick Bauer, William Gaudet, and Sergio Arcacha Smith (pp. 240-242).
Baker was concerned for the rapid expansion of the Ochsner-Sherman “Project.”
About August 1, 1963, Baker says: “…deep-freezing this new backup material suggests that we aren’t developing this biological weapon just for Castro. We are about to make this cancer truly immortal…the city is a hot bed of Cold War operations of all kinds. The Project has required massive funding. Only one entity could afford everything happening here in New Orleans.” (pp. 245-246)
The TRAINING FILM
One of the bits of evidence of Oswald’s participation into the CIA’s various escapades was the “training film” of anti-Castro infantry near Bedico Creek near Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana in early September 1963. The film was seen by several people, such as Robert K. “Bob” Tanenbaum of the House Select Committee on Assassination (HSCA), researchers Larry Hancock and Dick Russell, and Banister associate, Delphine Roberts.
The film showed, according to Tanenbaum, Antonio Veciana of Alpha 66, Guy Banister, David Atlee Phillips, Lee Oswald and David Ferrie (pp. 253, 264).
Baker describes a trail of incidents and witnesses showing that Oswald, Ferrie, the CIA, FBI, and the Mob were intricately connected; we can only highlight a few points, but the reader is welcome to search out the further connections described and exposed in the book.
Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans The Fair Play For Cuba Committee (of One)
An FBI informant, Joe Hauser, in his assisting FBI wiretaps of Mobster Marcello’s phone (161 reels of tape), told author John H. Davis that agent Hauser “personally knew Oswald.” (p. 265)
Another witness was FBI agent Warren DeBrueys (pages 266-267). Oretas Pena also said he saw Oswald with local chief Warren DeBrueys in August, 1963(page 269).
ZOMBIE COLONIES
Baker speaks about prisoners from the Angola prison who were often used for “secret research” in a special Tulane University Research Unit at the East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson. “These experiments were supported by a grant from the Commonwealth Fund,” says Baker, “later identified as a CIA front.”(Comparative Effects of the Administration of Taraxein, d-LSD, Mescaline, and Psilocybin to Human Volunteers [Heath, Silva].)
East Louisiana State Hospital in Jackson, LA
William Livesay, a prisoner at Angola, told Baker about his experiences with these experiments. If the patients survived, they were sent directly to the “zombie colonies” at Jackson State Hospital where “they wait to die and are buried in the Jackson graveyard so that security can be maintained and the truth about what was done to them completely covered.” (page 275)
According to Baker, Lee Oswald was selected to make a trip to Mexico City to transport the biologically engineered materials that would eventually kill Castro of “natural causes,” which would actually be “lung cancer.” Following this venture, Oswald and Baker would continue to do blood tests at Jackson State Hospital.

THE DARK in THE CELLAR
INCIDENTS SURROUNDING JFK’S MURDER
The following are multiple tidbits that tend (in the opinion of Judyth Baker and others) to support Baker’s Ferrie/Oswald scenario:
Texas Theater Manager Butch Burroughs said that he sold Lee Oswald popcorn in the Texas Theater at the time that Officer Tippit was shot.
David Ferrie carried with him a file, which author Prof. Joan Mellon said Ferrie referred to as “the Bomb,” along with a diagram in a “file, 1963” portraying an automobile in an aerial view of Dealey Plaza…” (HSCA report of January 11, 1978). (p. 321)
An “Abort Team” was mentioned by Lee Oswald and William “Tosh” Plumlee (CIA contract pilot), and mentioned to author Jim Marrs.
The infamous November 21, 1963 “party” at the oil baron Clint Murchison mansion in Dallas, Texas consisting of Richard Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, H.L. Hunt, John Curington, George Brown of Brown + Root, former Texas Republican Congressman Bruce Alger, and John J. McCloy. McCloy, in turn, would be placed on the Warren Commission within a week of the murder of JFK:
JFK Researchers Edgar Tatro and Harrison E. Livingstone confirmed Madeline Brown’s story (LBJ”s mistress), and wrote on September 3, 2014:
“The party happened.”(pp. 330, 331, 334)
The famous “Altgens photo” showed that when the first shot was heard, Secret Service agents did not look up at the 6th floor of the Book Depository but, rather, they looked ahead, or at the Dal-Tex building.
James T. Tague was standing near the triple underpass and hit on the cheek by a piece of street curb struck by one of the assassin’s bullets, possibly from the Dal-Tex Building, not the Book Depository.
The photos of Lee Oswald showing raised handcuffed wrists were his gesture to show newsmen that, to answer their questions, he was indeed handcuffed: It was NOT a“Communist salute.”
Attorney Dean Andrews confessed that Oswald was just “a patsy,”adding: “I like to live. If they can get the President, they can crush me like a bug” (December 29, 1963). (p. 373.)
ADDITIONAL MYSTERY STRAINS
Near the end of March, 1964, Betty Rubio, while working at the Lakefront Airport, saw Ferrie get out of a plane, talk to Rubio, and then go back to the plane and meet Clay Shaw. They talked for a while and then separated.
Guy Banister was found naked and dead on June 6, 1964 from an alleged “heart attack.” His wife, Delphine Roberts, said that it was murder, but “it was made to look like a natural death.”
Anna Lewis said in a 2000 videotape: “He had a bullet in him, but they said it was a heart attack.”
On or near July 11, 1965, David Ferrie was associated in flying individuals to Freemason Island. Matt Milligan of Trans-Gulf Seaplane Service identified photos of Andrew Blackmon and Clay Shaw.
JACK RUBY: THE ULTIMATE MK-ULTRA VICTIM
According to Earl Ruby in HSCA testimony, and writer Greg Parker, Jack Ruby’s “cancer” was possibly “artificially induced.”
Dr. Louis Jolyon “Jolly” West: Baker outlines that Dr. Louis Jolyon West had been cleared at Top Secretfor his work on MK-ULTRA.
“CIA documents show that grants were given to Dr. West for studies,” says Baker, “entitled, ‘Psychophysiological Studies of Hypnosis and Suggestibility’ and ‘Studies of Dissociative States.’ ’’ West had examined Jack Ruby in his jail cell (p. 387).
Also read in the works of Colin Ross, MD: “One such example that Ross writes about is Dr. Louis Jolyon West. While Dr. West’s curriculum vitae doesn’t mention that he received Top Secret clearance from the CIA as the contractor on MKULTRA Subproject 43, CIA documents show that grants were given to Dr. West for studies entitled, Psychophysiological Studies of Hypnosis and Suggestibility and Studies of Dissociative States.”http://solpotes.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
FURTHER ATTEMPTED MURDERS
David Ferrie had worked as a pilot for Al Crouch’s Saturn Aviation and flight school in November, 1966. Ferrie was fired on February 7, 1967, and would have been the pilot for a cross-country flight, but Crouch asked another pilot, “Bob,” to fly instead.
Bob’s wife, “J.G,” spoke coincidentally to Baker sometime in 2013 about the crash of the 7th of February 1967 in Slidell. According to J.G, Ferrie was fired “because Crouch was scared to death.”
Crouch needed a pilot right way and J.G’s husband was selected. The crash was blamed on pilot errorfor not properly fueling the plane, but “Bob” had a receipt that proved he had refueled.
“From his unique perspective, Bob, trapped as he was in the plane,” says Baker, “could see that the fuel tank had been punctured.”(pp. 393-394)
Editor’s note: The implication given here is clear, i.e. that Ferrie sabotaged the airplane in revenge for being fired. Why else could Crouch have been “scared to death” of Ferrie?
David Ferrie, at times, says Baker, suffered mentally for his guilt over his bisexuality (and the fact that it prevented him from becoming a priest); sometimes Ferrie would torture and whip himself (pages 255-260). The image that came to mind to this writer, was the semblance to the fictional Opus Dei character (the albino) Silas or Simon, in Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code,”who would whip himself mercilessly.
DAVID FERRIE: -> DEAD Man Walking
Ferrie began his last days of life by hiding out in the Airport’s pilots’ lounge and rest-overnight area, from about February 8 to 16, 1967.
Flight student Bruce Nolan said of Ferrie: “One day in early 1967, I arrived for a lesson and found Ferries limped over a desk, crippled by a blazing headache. He could not fly. He could barely open one eye. I shoveled him into my car. He asked to be taken to his home on Louisiana Avenue Parkway. I got him to the porch and watched him scuffle inside.”
Nolan never saw him again.
The news media, at that time, was busy covering Jim Garrison’s investigation along with an occasional story written about Ferrie. In an interview with Garrison investigators on February 18, 1967, Ferrie voiced great skepticism of the single-bullet theory.
Civil Air Patrol Camp 1955 David Ferrie (circled) on the left with Lee Harvey Oswald, right
In 1967, the famed group photo of Lee Oswald with his CAP squadron (above) was “no longer on display on the living room wall, along with other CAP group photos” . Other evidence of Lee Oswald knowing David Ferrie had also disappeared.
Ferrie’s interview given to DA Jim Garrison’s investigators while he stayed at the Fontainebleau Motor Hotel eventually vanished. David Ferrie himself vanished from the same hotel on February 19, 1967.
The next day, February 20, 1967, Ferrie called Raymond Broshears, a former roommate, to report his fear of being killed, stating plainly:
“No matter what happens to me, I won’t commit suicide.”
“A secret report generated by the FBI on May 22, 1968,” says Baker, “confirms that Garrison planned to arrest Ochsner, a Reily coffee executive, and others associated with the New Orleans Project.”(p. 415)
DOCTOR MINYARD’S REPORT
The body of Ferrie was found deceased about 11:50 a.m. on February 22, 1967 by Jimmy Johnson. The coroner’s staff arrived at 12:30 p.m.
Three suspicious “suicide notes” were eventually found. Dr. Frank Minyard theorized it was a murder because of contusions to the mouth. “Dr. Minyard says David Ferrie was murdered.”(p. 435)
On February 23, 1967, Eladio Ceferino del Valle, ex-Cuban congressman, associate of David Ferrie, and an anti-Castro activist, was found dead in his automobile in Miami: beaten, tortured, and shot in the chest. Eladio del Valle and Ferrie had flown “anti-Castro sorties”in the past, as well as had involvement with Miami mobster, Santos Trafficante.
“Numerous deaths, however, are still classified as ‘natural’ along with a plethora of suicides, murders and ‘accidental deaths’ that can no longer be ignored,”says Baker.
MISSING LOG BOOKS
JG, while working for Al Crouch, began to get harassing phone calls about Ferrie’s pilot log books. JG later disclosed that said log books were confiscated by the felonious “spy” investigator for Jim Garrison, William Gurvich, a turncoat. “He was going behind Garrison’s back,” said JG.
“That dirty word ‘conspiracy,’ which actually accounts for most evil-doing on the planet,” says Baker, “are avoided most by those who perpetuate it.”
Similar sentiments were voiced by Robert Tannenbaum, HSCA Deputy Counsel, said after Tannenbaum originally discountedGarrison’s suspicions and investigation: “And then I read all this material that came out of (CIA Director Richard) Helms’s office, that in fact what Garrison had said was true. They (CIA agents) were harassing his witnesses, they were intimidating his witnesses.” (Bob Tannenbaum, Probe, July-August 1996 [Vol. 3, No. 5].) (pp. 431, 435)
The reader will have to make further analysis of Baker’s book, which has elaborate appendices concerning testimonies, autopsies, and further information on David Ferrie’s life.
BRIEF BACKGROUND: THE CRITICS
Baker has accumulated a number of critics that relentlessly follow her and try to poke holes in her story about her New Orleans experiences with, what she says, are members of the conspiratorial underworld in the Kennedy murder.
The critics feel they have a strong complaint as it is based on the many seeming contradictions in the story and testimony of Judith Vary Baker.
However, as Baker pointed out to Erdmann, this happened often when debunkers are dedicated to finding such missteps and colloquial comments in daily conversation (imagine someone following behind you and perpetually examining your every word or move).
It would not be difficult to blacken one’s name if the critics’ research was not based on the totality of facts and information. Some critics have even opened websites and blogs dressed in nothing but what appears to be jealous vindictiveness, and according to Baker, the wish to get some type of revenge.
Baker covers some of the attacks. Take note, in the following, some identifying details are Xed over to afford protection to all mentioned parties:
Speaking of Xxxxxxx’s comments on Baker’s contradictions:
“… so-called ‘contradictions’ come from lifting comments from various parts of my manuscript and making it seemed that I reversed things, as well as form emails. The man altered. Xxxxxxx corresponded with me and pretended to be my friend. Then he demanded that I hand over my book to (another debunking group), or he would publish what you are citing. He even claimed I said Lee was not circumcised, as if I would talk about such a thing to him, when all we talked about was how to help his Sharpei dogs’ skin condition, before I began sharing emails with him. These emails he cites are using statements taken out of context or deliberately altered! I would make a statement and by adding one word or a question mark, he changed the meanings. Note that Xxxxxxx has NEVER published anything significant after he began attacking me and Jim Garrison, unless you think his ‘Pxxxxxxxx Sxxxxxxxx’ site that he told me was paid for by Xxxxxxx (he denies this now), or his JXX online (another Xxxxxxx site) are to be considered worthy of citing … His JFK 100 list against Stone’s JFK is so unfair, getting on Oliver Stone’s case because Stone made the movie that opened up the ARRB and all those files got released. Xxxxxxx treated the movie, which took some liberties for dramatic effect, as a DOCUMENTARY. From that false position he made up his 100 objections to the movie. He also claimed Dave Ferrie never confessed to Lou Ivon and Moo Moo Sciambra. This is not true…
“(If Erdmann would write questions to Baker) … I would be happy to reply. But since you are relying on my enemies to bring up questions for you, and want me to write what would be extensive essays in response, for I would have to prove much more than they, and then they would just bring up new objections, as they are not there to learn, but only to destroy. I am just shaking my head. What problems do you have with the book? What questions would you ask? Xxxxxxx’s ‘contradictions’ were previously answered in my own essays online. Of course he won’t tell you where the essays can be found (Hint: at -> judythbaker.blogspot. com, etc.).
What kind of reputation does Xxxxxxx have? Has he ever spoken at a conference? No. Has he written a book (only for his article on Clinton and Jackson)? No. Has he anyone who respects him except the Xxxxxxx contingent?” (July 28, 2015, 10:13 pm.)
Baker brings up a few “why ifs”that are interesting (but far beyond the scope of this article to include them here in their entirety). “Second, you should go to my Facebook page and see what I am going through right now. Ask yourself why they are trying to break my password and get into judythbaker.com, after judythbaker.org was taken over and is being used to ruin me.” (July 28, 2015, 9:42 a.m.)
Baker emphasizes that those who have questions about her claims should contact her personally for answers, either through her publishers or contact points on the Internet or Facebook.
What isn’t covered is “why” are some of the rabid and vicious attacks on the veracity of Baker’s claims.
“Howard” (howpl) gave some insight in his April 8, 2004 comments:
“I have known Judyth Baker for 5 years. (I also “know” [Wim] Dankbaar from a Usenet newsgroup, though we have never met.) I am writing this note in the hopes that this is a group of educators (as opposed to Prof. Xxxxxxx, the immoderate ‘moderator’ of that newsgroup) whose ‘article’ on Ms. Baker, is a pile of trash. Pardon the immoderate language, but this nominal academic has been particularly destructive. Anyone who has spent the number of hours it takes to see Judyth’s evidence and hear her story knows that she is the genuine article. Xxxxxxx never even met her, though her door was wide open and her telephone number widely circulated. “I co-wrote a book with Judyth, and also spent 14 months going back and forth with 60M on their intention, stated quite emphatically on the last go-round, to do a segment favorable to her. As Don Hewitt later said on C-SPAN, ‘the door was slammed in our face.’ Now what do you think he meant by that. The forces arrayed against Don Hewitt – the godfather of investigative journalism (on TV at least) were that powerful. Both he and Wallace believe her story, but as the diligent Nigel Turner segment proved, you really do have to hear the WHOLE story and see the evidence in context. It was nice, and I am thankful for the courage he showed, but viewers should not have had to rely on the talking head alone. “Unfortunately, so-called ‘researchers’ in the JFK community, who spent little time interrogating her and viewing her evidence, have — to protect their own books — fought hard and fought dirty to sabotage both the book and the 60 Minutes show. They tried hard to stop Turner, too. This may surprise you, but the only thing that surprised me was the intensity of it. Who knew there were conspiracy theorists willing to go this far. Case in point: At the annual Lancer Conference, held in Dallas, panelists have been informed that they may not discuss Ms. Baker’s story. For this and other atrocities, the head of Lancer has disgraced the research community. I am sure that Dankbaar has joined this forum in the hopes of finding a true academic sanctuary where open discussion is treasured, not banned. “As for me, I am not sure that I can respond in a detailed manner to questions that come up here. It has been a wild, tiring, and discouraging five-year ride. But I do want it on record somewhere that I believe Judyth Baker knew the real Lee Harvey Oswald. I believe it without a single doubt. As she told me at the outset, the truth is complicated, but it is logical. But nobody has time for complicated in today’s world. It takes too much work.”
John Simkin perhaps gave the most concise summary of the events (March 13, 2004, 8:59 am & April 26, 2004, 7:53 am):
“Researchers are divided on Baker’s story: a number of researchers have seen most or all her original evidence files and defend her (such as Jim Marrs, Martin Shackelford, Wim Dankbaar, Howard Platzman) while other researchers attack her story … Baker points out that almost all the researchers who have attacked her story have never met her or viewed her original evidence files. Far too many people involved in this case are quick to make abusive comments about the people they disagree with. I don’t see why we cannot disagree politely with each other. The main objective is to reach the truth. I believe the best way we can achieve this is by having an open, rational debate.”
One might add to that: that there are bits and pieces of circumstantial evidence that incessantly materializes to bolster her claims, such as Dr. Ochsner knowing Lee Oswald:
“Many people may think there are no documented ties of Ochsner to Oswald, but there are: Here is one:
Impression by Dr. Alton Ochsner, world famed surgeon and President of both the Alton Ochsner Medical Foundation and the Information Council of the Americas [INCA], who perhaps was the only listener who knew of Oswald’s defection before the debate.
It’s a record from the kitchen of INCA, the right wing CIA-sponsored organization founded by Ochsner, reiterating the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone assassin, with personal comments of Alton Ochsner himself (see middle photo on the back cover).” (Wim Dankbaar, March 29, 2004, 10:00 am.)
PART II:
The World of the Unseen – Out of the Cryptex
Reading about and describing some of the multiple attacks and confrontations that Judyth Vary Baker has encountered resembles some of the scarier tactics that intelligence operations have created from their literal and figurative dungeons of torture.
THE PROBLEM THAT GOES BEYOND
One can speculate that from most outward appearances, the researchers that lean towards conspiracy in the murder of John F. Kennedy, and those elements associated in highlighting a conspiracy, are often confronted by critics that speak from prior dispositions that run together in dark circles, “wolf packs,” and often with vile malevolence. Such vice (seen so repetitiously) could be associated with various mental states such as xenophobia (fear of the unknown), mythophobia (fear of myths), rhabdophobia (fear of criticism), or heresyphobia (fear of challenges), and can also be aligned with a greater inner sanctum motivator: megalomania and authoritarian personality disorder, particularly in the arena of intelligence and governmental control.
Journalist Cameron Reilly introduced one of the government’s sub rosa intelligence projects this way:
“Mockingbird isn’t some conspiracy theory – like MKULTRA and the 638 attempts at assassinating Fidel Castro, it’s a genuine part of CIA history. Mockingbird has been written about in detail since the late 70’s, but it’s one of those pieces of U.S. history that isn’t talked about much in the mainstream media. Why? I assume because they would prefer people don’t know about it as it would make them ask too many questions, such as ‘how do we know the CIA isn’t controlling the media today as well?’ “
“It’s also one of those events in history that should help us all realize that we’ve been manipulated and lied to by the government and the media in the past so it’s entirely rationale to believe they might be manipulating and lying to us still today.”
Reilly went on to describe Operation Mockingbird as a sophisticated ruse by the CIA and the U.S corporate media to spread intentional lies to the American people and international readers.
Steven Jacobson and Steve Kangas spoke in a piece entitled Media and Mind Control in America:
“Journalism is a perfect cover for CIA agents. People talk freely to journalists, and few think suspiciously of a journalist aggressively searching for information. Journalists also have power, influence and clout. Not surprisingly, the CIA began a mission in the late 1940s to recruit American journalists on a wide scale … The agency wanted these journalists not only to relay any sensitive information they discovered (and write about and replay information when requested…SE).”
Early progenitors of the project, said Jacobson-Kangas, were Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham (Graham was the husband of Katherine Graham, today’s publisher of the Washington Post). The sub rosa project included 25 media organizations and 400 journalists (or more), according to 1975 findings of the Church Committee, and read like a Who’s Who of Journalism:
Philip and Katharine Graham (Publishers, Washington Post) William Paley (President, CBS) Henry Luce (Publisher, Time and Life magazine) Arthur Hays Sulzberger (Publisher, N.Y. Times) Jerry O’Leary (Washington Star) Hal Hendrix (Pulitzer Prize winner, Miami News) Barry Bingham Sr., (Louisville Courier-Journal) James Copley (Copley News Services) Joseph Harrison (Editor, Christian Science Monitor) C.D. Jackson (Fortune) Walter Pincus (Reporter, Washington Post) ABC NBC Associated Press United Press International Reuters Hearst Newspapers Scripps-Howard Newsweek magazine Mutual Broadcasting System Miami Herald Old Saturday Evening Post New York Herald-Tribune, the New York Herald-Tribune, the Saturday Evening Post, Scripps-Howard Newspapers, Hearst Newspapers, the Associated Press, United Press International, the Mutual Broadcasting System, Reuters and the Miami Herald and many others.
It is believed that Steve Kangas was working on a book about CIA covert activities when on 8th February, 1999, he was found dead in the bathroom of the offices of Richard Mellon Scaife, the owner of the Pittsburgh Tribune[Scaife was a person that Kangas believed was a CIA operative]. He had been shot in the head. Popular status quo was told that he had committed suicide; other people believe he was murdered.
In an article inSalon Magazine [19th March, 1999], Andrew Leonard asked:
“Why did the police report say the gun wound was to the left side of his head, while the autopsy reported a wound on the roof of his mouth? Why had the hard drive on his computer been erased shortly after his death? Why had Scaife assigned his No. 1 private detective, Rex Armistead, to look into Kangas’ past?”

EXPANSIVE MEDIA MACHINE
Greg Burnham, who quoted extensively from Operation Mockingbird: How Democracy was manipulated through the mainstream Media(Staffan H. Westerberg and Pete Engwall), has disclosed additional facets of the intelligence scam:
“In the early 1950’s, CIA launched a propaganda program put together utilizing the expansive media machine within the United States…probably the most important vehicle ever for the power that is behind the CIA to control and manipulate the public…perhaps the most devastating Intel project ever inflicted on the American people and democracy in the United States. Today most people have never heard of it, and the majority of JFK researchers rarely bring the truth of Mockingbird into their research equation.

According to JFK researcher, Paul Kangas, who was personally involved in Operation 40 and the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the actual invasion of Cubawas headed by “my boss,”CIA front man George H. W. Bush
Paul Kangas wrote: -> “Cuba owes its existence today to President Kennedy. If JFK had not stopped those of us in the US military who invaded Cuba, from invading, Cuba today would be just like Haiti. Bush was in charge of the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. I was one of the troops invading Cuba.”
Paul Kangas points out: -> “Nixon always referred to the Dallas assassination of JFK as that “Bay of Pigs thing“, according to Halderman in his book on Nixon. By doing so, Nixon “confessed” to the assassination of JFK. On the White House tapes, you hear Nixon telling Bush and Halderman, ‘We have to pay Hunt $$ 1 million dollars to keep quiet about our role in the Bay of Pigs.’ “”

“was the code name for a project established by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency to investigate claims of psychic phenomena with potential military and domestic application, such as remote viewing, which is the purported ability to psychically ‘see’ events, sites, or information from a great distance.”
Tepper Aviation “is based at the Bob Sikes Airport in Crestview, Florida. The company has a long association with the CIA. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was widely reported to be flying weapons into Angola to arm the UNITArebels. More recently, it has been linked with the practice of extraordinary rendition.”
The Church Committee “was the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities.”

Writer Mary Louise explained that CIA assignments ranged from intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens (aka “cut outs”) at hundreds of businesses and universities, often using Ivy League graduates (such as Yale figures like George Herbert Walker Bush and the Skull and Crossbones Society):
“Many Americans still insist or persist in believing that we have a free press, while getting most of their news from state-controlled television, under the misconception that reporters are meant to serve the public,” said Louise. “Reporters are paid employees and serve the media owners, who usually cower when challenged by advertisers or major government figures.” — Mary Louise, Mockingbird: CIA Media Manipulation [2003].
ROBERT PARRY & EDWARD SNOWDEN
Mary Louise highlighted the work of newsman Robert Parry who wrote about news-breaking affairs in the Iran-Contra episode for the Associated Press:
Parry found that his stories were often ignored by both the press and Congress. Parry, when working for Newsweek, further witnessed the actual retraction of a true story for political reasons.
In Fooling America: A Talk by Robert Parry, Parry said:
“The people who succeeded and did well were those who didn’t stand up, who didn’t write the big stories, who looked the other way when history was happening in front of them, and went along either consciously or just by cowardice with the deception of the American people.”
Recent history included the famous whistle-blower Edward Snowden who exposed the National Security Agency breech and use of private communication of the citizenry, and according to researcher Kristan Harris, “are attempting to manipulate and control online behavior even going to the extreme of setting people up using what the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters [UK]) calls ‘Honey Traps.’ They then go on to force you into behavior you may not have been in and use the information to discredit American patriots who oppose the current establishment.”
Glenn Greenwald, a journalist who leaked the information, had stated:
“Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a series of articles about ‘dirty trick’ tactics used by GCHQ’s previously secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group).”
“These were based on fourclassifiedGCHQdocuments presented to the NSA and the other three partners in the English-speaking ‘Five Eyes’ alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group) document, in full, entitled ‘The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.’”
“The files showed how shill agents infiltrated the internet to manipulate stage and attempt to corrupt reputations,” said Harris, and Harris strongly questioned the use of espionage against its own citizens.
“Are these extreme tactics of deception by our government honorable?”Harris asked. “These documents show how the GCHQ trains and engage in ‘false flag operations’ to purposely deceive and set individuals up (online).”
Perhaps the American public will need to hunker-down, in some respects, to an on-coming flood of evil, as herewith forewarned in the feelings and words of the late Jim Garrison (On the Trail of the JFK Assassins, page 100 [Russell Baker, p. 432]):
‘“We’re investigating a conspiracy which appeared to have occurred in New Orleans … if they (the government, SE) want to help me, I’ll welcome their help. But I’m not reporting to anybody.’ Those were strong words…before long,”says Baker, “the most powerful machinery of the government had been uncorked against Garrison…the full story of how Garrison was ham-strung would fill a volume.”
Thank you, Jim, for being the only person in America
with the profile and the courage to bring about a trial
in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, a trial you should have won.

A large saucer shaped craft had appeared overhead.
It had appeared from nowhere, instantly.
But he had remembered … He had felt pain unlike any ever imagined and he screamed. The large black-wet eyes had stared at him endlessly, extensively, close up to his head.
“This will not hurt.”, they had said. But agony had suffused lines and channels throughout his body. Terror, rage and pain had overcome him.
The creatures had been puzzled by his pain, saying:
It was his sobbing, he had then believed that had awoken his father. His father had told him that he had imagined and dreamed it.
“The Texas sun can give you heat stroke, make you see things”, he had said, holding the shaking boy close and placing a hand over his son’s forehead.
Photo taken over Scotland on September 20, 2011
They had seemed to melt out of his bedroom walls, had stood coldly to surround him and his bed, one close by his side, two at the footboard, and another by the doorway.
He had jumped up and had grabbed the closest one to him around the neck, had clutched the feather-like being’s back to his own chest, pinioning him.
‘A leap in consciousness will require a dissolution and restructuring of your beliefs about the nature of reality’.
To his mind, to live unburdened by an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the mysteries of the motives and tactics of the pilots of UFOs in our universe, was in itself, quite an amazing thing.
