“Capitalism – its opportunistic character hidden beneath the guise of patriotism, democracy or whatever label is suitable to the occasion.”
“What is clear is that big business is now firmly ensconced at the center of government. No longer is there any pretense of government representing the people.”

“Mr. Pawelec was close enough to very high level insiders at the cutting edge of technologies being prepared it appeared for mass implanting of humans. This is a scary interview but a very important one and I personally thank Steven Greer for having the decency and trust to keep this safe until this moment and for his great courage to go where many fear to tread. He truly deserves our support. There is more to come…”

“‘The Powers That Be’ stole the technology. Two of those friends were assassinated and Bill’s own death remains suspicious.” It should be explained that a RFID chip is a tiny radio-frequency identification chip that is small enough to inject into animals and humans for monitoring purposes. Pawelec speaks about this in his video interview with Greer. There is a link to the video at the end of this article. Pawelec was shaken to the core at a secret meeting ‘Another project Bill worked on was at Area 51,’ Annie continues. ‘It was his job to upgrade the perimeter security systems for Area 51 and it was his idea to install cameras in fake rocks. It was during this time that he learned about the Tonopah base which is more remote and inaccessible than Area 51. It also was where Bill’s rose-colored patriotic glasses began to cloud over.'”

“Much of the evil stems from the fact that free-market economists who still dominate the Ivy League and the policy circles have focused on markets at the expense of those inconvenient encumbrances known as ‘people.’ Their fancy mathematical models make calculations about buying and selling, but they tend to leave out one important thing: production. In other words, they don’t give a hoot about the labor of those who sustain the economy. Their perverted religion may have something to say about unemployment or wages – keeping the former high and the latter low — but the conditions workers face receive nary a footnote.”

“Parts of this shadowy network — the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, and more — are sometimes visible to the public, even if the establishment media rarely highlights the significance. Other powerful elements are practically invisible: Secret societies such as ‘Skull and Bones’ and the Bohemian Grove, for example, which will be described in an upcoming article. But combined, it is clear that the Deep State behind the Deep State wields tremendous power over America and the world. The agenda is becoming clear, too. And if left unchecked, this powerful network of ‘Deep State’ operatives fully intends to foist a draconian system on humanity that they often tout as the ‘New World Order.’ But the American people have the power to stop it.”

One could say that the current debates within the UFO arena about proof, evidence, and where do we go “from here” are pretty much a matter of the methodology, but many others would say it has to do with the “nature” of science, itself, and the questions it further asks.
These questions and concepts are being “tested” in a book by Robbie Graham that says we must reevaluate our approaches and even learn ‘how’ to ask these questions and further deal with the phenomenon.
Authors that have contributed to this tome run the full gamut of discourse: from outright cynicism (Chris Rutkowski) to demands for a “new science” with “new questions,” and “methodologies” (which includes possibly all of the remaining writers).
“The phenomenon has not proven to be anything that can be resembled by our current standards of proof,” says Greg Bishop. “Therefore, UFO researchers and enthusiasts would best be served by making no firm judgments on any of the data___least on its existential origins…what many fail to realize is that most UFO witnesses have had our experience for which they have no benchmark” (pp. 192-193).
The book portends to offer “alternatives” to commonly professed directions that already exist, such as the “spaceships” of the extraterrestrials ‘theory.’ But when one looks much closer at each essay, one may find only the same bias and old arguments, but each ‘reframed’ along with ‘new boarders’ and new “picture frames.”
Somehow, Chris Rutkowski attempts to “separate” good-ole’-science as a ‘true science’ against and from ‘zealot’ UFO contactees, spiritualist-UFO-experiences, and psiactivity. Rutkowski feels that if someway, solid scientific endeavors are divorced from anything paranormal-doctrinaire, things could somehow work out. Rutkowski says that ‘UFO zealots’ apply a “metamodernism” which can never be dispensed because they don’t rely on evidence, but psychic “belief.”
“The unwillingness of UFO zealots to confirm in any way with scientific methodology with regard to testing claims within their community negates their value,” says Rutkowski, “as a source of reliable information about the subject” (p. 156).
Rutkowski only raises more questions, to my mind, rather than answers them: which “zealots” is he truly referring to, the fanatics of religion, or that actual ‘zealotisms’ owned by scientists and academies themselves, many of which, in contradiction to Rutkowski, study parapsychology and psi in universities about the country and do real laboratory experiments. Surely, Rutkowski must recognize analysts such as the late Carl Jung. What does Rutkowski catalog “skeptic zealots” professing to be “scientific” but are really Religious Cultists of scientism, kind of a generally accepted and worshiped Scientology in disguise?
Does “science” evolve, specifically, its so-called “method”? What if the actual UFO phenomenon, on the other hand, is not readily malleable, amendable or able to be penetrated to its ‘core’ by the current archaic methods?
The other writers, in comparison, are a fresher-break-away-breath of new air.

Susan Demeter -St. Clair and Robert Brandstetter – Researchers
Joshua Cutchin builds upon the aforementioned conundrum and posits further components:
“Science is nothing more than a set of guidelines and tools to evaluate reality honestly and objectively, whereas materialism is an assumption based on the notion that only things applicable in a laboratory setting are worthy of labeling ‘real’…confirming the objective reality of telepathy, remote viewing, clairvoyance, or any other psi effect would devastate our understanding of natural law, which would, in turn, cripple the surety with which the scientific method operates: It would shatter materialism” (pp. 57-58).
Cutchin cites the inescapable telepathy research of Rupert Sheldrake who ‘rigorously” demonstrated the telepathy of pets (p. 56). Likewise, Ian Stevenson chronicled the “past-life memories and birthmarks” of children. Cornell University professor Daryl Bem showed that “intense emotion” may enhance psi phenomenon.
Once the psi Gennie is let out of the science bottle it is doubtful it will ever be “put back in.”[1]
“Granted, they’re still banging the antiquated drum of eighteenth-century materialism, but at least a dialog is starting…from materialisms’’ ashes, a new model of reality, will arise wherein the scientific establishment accepts that he completely intangible, wholly interiorized phenomenon of human consciousness can manifest measurable effects in our physical world” (p. 58).
This is precisely where Mike Clelland descends into the deepest part of the “UFO Lake.”
“Of all UFO sightings reported each year, over half can’t be described as anything like a metal craft,” says Clelland. “Instead, the majority of reports are of ethereal glowing orbs, most often orange I color. People are seeing something that might not be physical at all, at least in the way we understand it, yet seemingly under intelligent control…my problem with ‘ufology’ is my own personal experiences. I’ve been at the receiving end of enough weird shit that nobody needs to tell me this stuff is real” (pp. 18-19).
It was one thing to talk dirty “about” UFO experiences, but it was another thing to be directly involved in a situation as an “experiencer” and witness, says Clelland, talking about his own encounters of “high strangeness” as well as the events of other “experiencers.”
Mike Clelland points out that even when more “mundane” UFO “sightseers” are asked properly-phased questions, there are often “other and unusual, personal events” that are often excluded by less inquisitive examiners. Clelland says that researches are only “barely dipping below the waterline” and avoiding he starkest elements of such cases. This is where Clelland sees the richest core of the topic—a ‘‘core” that he and fellow “experiencers” are actually living.
Usually, a much deeper and alarming story emerges, perhaps, a story about “missing time” or even “weirder stuff.” Clelland feels there are many “patterns” that should be examined and hold “clues” that might unravel this mystery (p. 29).
“The scientific community has either ignored or denounced the UFO phenomenon for close to 70 years. With very few receptive UFO researchers who try to wrestle with this mystery using any kind of scientific reign and up-framing it merely as metal spaceships from another planet…(not) strange invasion of consciousness…” (pp. 28-30).
Clelland notes that Dr. Leo Sprinkle, who has a Ph.D. in counseling and a professor of psychology at the University of Wyoming, also highlights the UFO phenomena as operating on “some subconscious level” in a kind of “manipulation” (p. 23). Clelland also cites Dr. Jeffrey L. Kripal of Rice University who also has encountered “bizarreness” which Clelland says has “no path to follow” as only private quests of which we can’t expect to solve.
SCIENCE IS LIMITED.
M.J. Banias travels further into the “swamp” of confusion and “old methodology.”
“We accept the ideological myths told by sciences that ‘make sense’ to us,” says Banias. “However, significant science ‘facts’ have been proven and later disproved as human knowledge expands, grows and shifts; as our cultural and social landscape changes, so do current scientific knowledge.”
Banias says that “science has adopted an ideological illusion that it is the only road to the truth,” when in reality, it actually is the “harbinger” of the destruction of “religion and philosophy.”
“Interestingly, we collectively understand scientists included, that science does not have all the answers right now,” says Banias. “We also understand that future developments will undoubtedly change many of the scientific rules, laws, and theories we know…” (p. 135).
Banias draws much from the movie THEY LIVE (1988) which suggests ‘reality” — True Reality — is “inaccessible” ___ almost always “shaped by ideological constructs” which are “value and belief systems” established in our minds by social and cultural upbringing—an invented universe—but the true reality is forever out of reach, our vision to see it handicapped by our social and cultural illusion, languages, and these mechanisms” (p. 132).
Science, says Banias, is an anthropomorphic consciousness, not a literal “thing,” only a collection of socially accepted ideological constructs, methods, and mechanisms, controlled by economic and political issues (p. 137).
.
M.J. Banias – Researcher
.
“Mainstream capitalist culture has no choice but to reset UFO discourse as it calls into question the ideological illusion, which capitalism must maintain” (p. 143).
Banias agrees that the so-called “scientific method” should be maintained, but not without a warning: “…the razor cuts both ways, and the ideological mechanism of the sciences can be as dogmatic as the religious tents of the UFO believers” (ibid).
Even if a UFO were to land on the White House lawn tomorrow, the whole affair would be obstipated by the current political and social systems of “‘general sciences, and, therefore, into capitalist ideologized structures…the status quo is maintained…no public announcement…” (ibid).
Smiles Lewis sees the obstacles of the current ufology and its present components:
“In our attempts at understanding UFOs and possible contact with Alien Others, let us recognize the challenge of resisting and overcoming such taboos, so that we may be free of both the cultural overlays imposed by our farther perception,” says Lewis, “and the perception management programs that have been waged against us, whether in furthermore of global governance or materialistic independence and xenophobic tribalism” (p. 120).
The amount of paranoia from “agent provocateurs” has gathered about. Lewis mentions “ol’ Carl Jung” and his “ideas on the collective unconscious” and the archetypes Lewis implants “so deeply into my ideas about UFOs.”
Lewis discloses that the CIA, as the OSS, used Allen Dulles’s “psychological profiling” of Hitler and the German people during the war. This included Dulles’s beliefs on the paranormal and psychological warfare purposes.
There was also the matter of Dr. Leon Davidson, a researcher that worked in the Manhattan Project. It was Dr. Davidson who, back in the 1950s and into the 1970s, was talking about the idea that the UFO phenomenon was being manipulated by the CIA as part of a Cold War “tool’ for disinformation to the Soviets—as well as other reasons. Lewis guides the reader to visit “A LonerChemist’s Quest to Expose UFO Cover-up,” Philip Coppens, http://www.philipcoppens.com’davidsonhtml/.
Lewis says Allen Dulles liked the ideas of Carl Jung and invented the mutual idea of ‘benign aliens’ visiting earth as a “magical” illusion in tricks, UFO sightings, landings, contacts, along with other military “test” sightings. Dulles found saucer clubs and their propaganda as an “ideal” vehicle (p. 120).
The writer cites the investigations of Kenn Thomas and Peter Levenda that likewise spied these trends in the CIA Post-WW II American Nazism, and MKUltra activities, involving characters such as Lee Oswald, Ted Kaczynski, and Whitey Bulger, the Mafioso, as well as Dr. Ewen Cameron’s MKUltra experiments. Lewis goes into many examples of such connections throughout his essay.
Greg Bishop says that for year’s ufologists craved “respectability” by seeking out the ‘perfect case,’ well-documented by video, radar returns and physical ‘traces’ by which ‘doubters’ visualize as the ‘Holy Grail’ of UFO cases.
“There are already enough ideas in this regard and it has not made much difference to those when the researcher they hope to impress,” says Bishop. “Perhaps a quest for deeper and wider of relevant and previously overlooked issues and their implications is what is called for at this time, and not the need to be believed or accepted.” (p. 189)
The ETH theory doesn’t adhere to newer standards, leaving us at “cross-purposes.” “The experience is not available on demand,” says Bishop, “nor is it amenable to normal scientific scrutiny” (ibid)..
In some UFO encounters there is no “benchmark” to work with, says Bishop, almost as if they are thrown into an “alternate reality” where something seems to have been ignored or derided, and suddenly “peacefully presented to them” (p. 193).
“The phenomena have not proven to be anything that can be recovered by current standards of proof,” says Bishop. “Therefore, UFO researchers and enthusiasts would best be served by making no firm judgments on any of the data___at least no firm judgment on any of the data—at least on it existential origins.” (p.192)
Bishop points to Greek philosopher who gave us Pyrrhonism as a model of inquiry. “Any viewpoint on this weird subject does not cover all the bases” (ibid)..
TRAUMATIC NATURE.
“What the psychedelics seem to me to agree on is that reality is not reality. There may be no reality, but certainly, this is not it. This is some kind of highly provisional culturally genetic hallucination that we are all participating” (p. 214)
“Such is the traumatic nature of the UFO experience,” says Robert Brandstetter. “What started as a story about seeing something strange in the sky has since been manufactured into mythology by the whole cabal of gladiators in the arena of ufology” (p.212).
Brandstetter recounts some of the more popular UFO cases when examined closely (as well as his personal ‘Contactee’ episodes, in the context of Donald Hoffman with his “Conscious Realism and its Mind-Body problem”) represents unexplained and “unique approach to seeing” (p. 215). There are “symbols of a reality outside of our own perceptual apparatus,” and Brandstetter suggests “we might do well to engage in more long-term studies of witnesses who have been altered to get a better measure of the unknown external stimulus.”
“There is a danger in surrendering the ego and identity, and so the call of the UFO may simply be one that is mirroring something much simpler to us,” says Brandstetter. “Do not try to penetrate the mystery, for that is not the way, but learn about yourself and what you are at the edges of the capacities of your biology…the UFO mystery…achieve to reflect…as a social species” (p. 228).
Micah Hanks readily agrees that science needs some major revisions to come to grips with the UFO Mystery, while skepticism is needed, it should be a healthy skepticism and not a debunking.
“Modern skepticism can, I think, be summarized in many instances, as an ideology, around where a social movement has been built—one that today also runs tangent with atheism—and as a paradoxically evangelical attitude about the supremacy of science above all other forms of knowledge” (p. 79).
Hanks leaned heavily on Allen Hendry’s comprehensive book THE UFO HANDBOOK, “perhaps one of the better approaches.” Hanks even suggests a new scale of sighting classification (p. 66)..
MITIGATING UFO CIRCUMSTANCES.
Just about the time, you may think the writers have brought enough of the ‘new’ and ‘awkward,’ some of the writers bring out circumstances that further mitigate events.
Jack Brewer sees the phenomenon in terms of “high strangeness” much like Dr. Jacques Vallee and the late John Keel who are opposed to the popular ETH theory. But worse yet, there are indications of “more” earthly origins, such as a super-weapon Project Seal. This was soon followed by “deception programs” of Colonel Carl Goldbranson who did such things as a 1950 Rand-Air Force report titled The Exploitation of Superstitions for Purposes of Psychological Warfare. This was later expanded to ‘deception’ or ‘tests’ such as those of British Major Jasper Maskelyne and World War II Major General Edward Geary Lansdale who (in the words of Project Grudge) relate to “psychological propaganda” (pp. 37-38).
Brewer says the same Colonel Edward Lansdale’s “running around” the Philippines inventing “psycho-weapons” about “vampires among the Huks” was part of this psychodrama. Lansdale also applied more “political-psychological warfare,” all under the supervision of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Allen Dulles. The infamous Robertson Panel was born out of this milieu (p. 38).
Some of these “psycho-events” are, no doubt, causing trauma, which needs to be adequately studied when it occurs to UFO witnesses. Better “methods,” suggests Brewer, need to be invented.
“If we are to find events of interest at the heart of what became truly phenomenal social occurrences,” says Brewer, “we would be noted to drop preconceived notions to the best of our abilities.”
Lorin Cutts also feels that the phenomenon is “manipulative,” and the faulty perceptions and questions are furthermore questionable approaches. These “faulty approaches” were, in fact, “myths” that permeate the whole UFO “belief systems,” either of alleged extraterrestrial origins or, even the complete skeptical arena as “abuse” (p. 82).
Cutts says much is happening about the globe to indicate “something anomalous” is occurring. Cutts points to the Yakima, Washington “hot spot” as a typical example; however, when getting to the “core” of the phenomena “has been frozen in a cadre of myth and ignorance” (p. 87).
“Current scientific understanding will never be the truth of the entire universe,’ says Cutts. “Science, while the foundation of societal development, will always be something of a paper-god…from within this void, come magical, high strangeness, and human experience that continue to mystify and confuse” (p. 89).
“Telepathy, disembodied voices, and other psychic experiences have been scientifically explored for more than a century via psychical research and parapsychology,” states Susan Demeter-St. Clair, “…that high strangeness UFO reports that include various types of psychic phenomena may be the key to a greater understanding of the UFO enigma, or, at the very least, trigger more meaningful questions in our on-going efforts to understand it” (p. 166).
St. Clair says the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, as well as psychoanalyst Carl Jung, pointed to a wider world of “poltergeist phenomena, electrical disturbances, telepathy, synchronicity, and other paranormal occurrences…all…converged…with otherworldly intelligence” (p. 169).
Jacques Vallee – A forerunner of new UFO science
Hillary Evans, Eric Davis, Jacques Vallee, Massimo Teudorani, Dr. Harley Rutledge[2], Scott Rogo, Eric Ouellet, all allude to the various psi or psychological elements in UFO Cases.
“When applied to individual cases and different UFO flaps, some interesting insights and patterns begin to emerge,” says St. Clair (p. 175).
“’Nuts and bolts’ ufologists pride themselves on having a scientific mindset…challenge them to consider what some professional scientists who have looked into UFOs have had to say in regards to high strangeness…Project Identification, conducted by Dr. Harley Rutledge, and it has been well documented that several synchronicities were noted throughout the study. Astromasimo Teodorani comments on Rutledge’s work and shares a similar experience of his own while musing on the possibility of a ‘mind-matter creation,’ i.e., a parapsychologist event…” (p. 173).
“The steadfast adherence to the ETH among UFO enthusiasts is akin to religious faith. To a degree, the same can be said of those skeptics,” says St. Clair, “who apply the null hypotheses as to the possible explanation for unresolved cases. Such dogmatic stances are harmful to the subject, and certainly, they do nothing to further the progress of understanding” (p. 177).
St. Clair, along with all the mentioned researchers, feel that UFO cases involved “paranormal elements” and are best served by “utilizing parapsychological models.” Dr. Harley Rutledge documented ‘synchronicities” throughout his study. Teodorani sees them as a “mind-matter creation.” The other researchers see a definite parapsychological connection, “…this adds a dimension of synchronicity or a meaningful coincidence to these UFO events, and this, in the scholarly literature, and plays a strong role in the overall UFO experience” (p. 173).
To reframe the UFO debate we need to formulate new models for analyzing existing and incoming data,” says St. Clair, “and introduce innovative hypotheses by asking better questions that have thus far been asked…by acknowledging the high strangeness and absurdity of UFO encounters and viewing them through these lenses we can finally begin a forward momentum” (pp.177-178).
Expanding on the parapsychological theory, Red Pill Junkie says that many UFO events were internalized apparitions of turmoil in our ‘crisis apparitions’ of poltergeist activity in ghostly manifestations often referred to as the “trickster” (pp. 130, 155).
“The Trickster” phenomena accounts are replete down through history: Spring Heeled Jack[3] in the 19th century, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon of the 1930s, or Mothman in the 1960s and its ‘trickster’ called Indrid Cold. Red Pill Junkie refers to this as the “chaotic catalyst” of the “cosmic jokesters” that historically tries to “shake us out of our collective stagnation” asking us to look beyond the “dark (k) night of the soul[4]” and explore the psychologies of the “trickster.[5]”
“This expansion of awareness needs also to be explored,” says Ryan Sprague. “Even to scratch the surface of some of the enigma, we must move past the mentality that we are dealing with nuts and bolts, past the notion that the key to the UFO phenomena lies in physical analysis.”
Many of the UFO witnesses Sprague interviewed spoke of feeling like “their reality was somehow altered at the moment…this passage between established and newfound realities is where UFOs seem to float, hover, zip, coast, appear and disappear in and out of ambiguity” (pp. 182, 183).
Sprague quotes fellow researcher Jim Keith from his article in ParanoiaMagazine, “UFOs at the Edge of Reality”:
“The fact that ten people or a thousand people believe the same thing does not render said thing any more real and in an absolute sense, but it does point out the structural underpinnings of the determent of this illusion called reality.”
It all depends on those investigators who opt to spend their time, knowledgeand resources to study the phenomena, looking beyond current structures that others have helped to create in which they “have brought a monster we want to destroy nor resurrect ever again” (pp. 186-187).
Curt Collins feels UFO researchers need to “refocus” and Collins examines a well-established “expose’” of a UFO claim in which Collins was a party to as it exposed what had become to be known as the infamous “Roswell Slides” of November 2014 that purported to be the body of an extraterrestrial from a crashed UFO; extensive “teamwork” between many UFO skeptics and collaborators exposed that the slides were, in fact, a mummified body of a two-year-old boy. The ‘team” became known as the Roswell Slides Research Group;
All members worked from the examination of different pieces of the claim until a final identification was made as an earthly mummified boy.
The Roswell Slides Research Group, while it demonstrates the amazing ability to accomplish results of “teamwork,” not much is said exactly how that would apply to the technically sensitive arena of psi or parapsychology—which are still virgin sciences.
“Groups can be great tools, but they have their limitations,” says Collins. “Each of us must remain objective, seek the best evidence and ask challenging questions whether part of a team or an individual” (p. 108).
BOLDLY TREAD.
Robbie Graham attempts to give a summation of these events (pp. xxxii-xxxiii):
“I encourage that you approach this book from the perspective of an anthropologist…understanding UFOs and related phenomena is a glacially slow process that is in its fetal stages…a cold hard slap in the face for ‘ufology’ delivered with love. It is a call to break away from established ideas, approaches, and practices and to boldly travel a new path…”

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

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

Former FBI and CIA agent, Ted Gunderson laid out the territory of underground operations paying for arms with drugs, cocaine or heroin: The Company handled the drug end of it in the U.S as self-supporting outside of Congress. Michael Riconosciuto implicated Wackenhut Security Corporation. The mystery led to “government sanctioned drug operations” (pp. 39-40). “….illegal overseas arms shipments, espionage, CIA drug trafficking, biological warfare development, computer software development…theft, money laundering and corruption at the highest levels of government.”
Danny Casolaro referred to it as “TheOctopus”: Inslaw software, Iran/Contra, the BCCI scandal, the MCA Entertainment Corporation, Cabazon arms on the reservation and desert land near Indio, California.

DARK SIDE OF SECURITY
.
A joint business venture between Wackenhut International and the Cabazon Indians allowed high-tech arms exported to third-world countries from their Federally-exempt reservation. Wackenhut compiled “dossiers” on 2.5 to 4 million Americans in 1966 – one in 46 Americans then living.
.
Wackenhut Security
.
Casolaro claimed to have inside information about Inslaw-PROMIS, October Surprise Scandal, BCCI, Iran/Contra Affair, and other front companies. Adnaw Khashoggi had connections with Dodi Fayed who dated the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and died in a car crash on August 31, 1997: Adnan and Dodi were both involved in “frontcompanies.”
The “web” of The Octopus led to drug trafficking in the Golden Triangle and the Nugan Hand Bank, as well as the CIA-owned Air America. Michael Riconosciuto, who played intimate parts in all aspects of the Octopus Mysteries from the PROMISsoftware to the Wackenhut/Cabazon cabal, lived near Tacoma, Washington in 1991 and had connections with the famed 1947 Maury Island UFO Incident and Fred Crisman, intelligence operative. Seymour mentions none of this, however.
.

TACOMA, UFO, KENNEDY
.
Fred Crisman was a Korean War veteran and OSS (precursor to the CIA) operative that was party to the June 21, 1947, Maury Island, Washington UFO incident. Crisman obtained and camouflaged UFO residue that led to the deaths of Army Air Corps Officers Brown and Davidson. Because of Crisman’s intrepid history (going back as far as a fire-fight in a Burma cavern with mysterious Hobbit creatures) within the intelligence community in several situations, Crisman was called before New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison’s John Kennedy investigation as a person of interest.
Clay Shaw, a suspect in the Garrison trial, was stationed in Washington State in 1947, as was detective and FBI agent Guy Banister, who was later connected to New Orleans/Kennedy tie-ins. Shaw called Crisman shortly after Shaw’s arrest by Garrison. All had prior Intelligence connections.

.
Later, Michael Riconosciuto was described as a “young electronics ‘whiz’ from Tacoma”: and Riconosciuto knew Fred Crisman.
The Wackenhut-Cabazon Joint Venture served the interests of the U.S intelligence community for many years. Michael Riconosciuto became intimately involved in the workings of “The Octopus,” from Inslaw, the Cabazon-Joint Venture, Wackenhut, PROMISsoftware, The Company, government-sanctioned CIA, Food Machinery Corporation (FMC), FIDCO (First International Development Corporation), and world-wide front groups ringing Syria, Beirut, Cyprus and other countries.
“I handled communication protocol. All the communications and financial transactions,” said Riconosciuto. “If I could get my records in line I could show all the money flows, everything.” (p. 77.) He spoke of Swift Chips – Clearing House Interbank Payment System, Workers Bank in Columbia, dead-drops, Fin Cen, Octon Potnar, the Fresno Company, J & G Aviation, Gilbert Rodriguez and the Cali-Columbian-Drug-Cartel.
Gilbert Rodriquez and his cohort Jose Londono may have had CIA connections, operating through Miami banks such as the Northside Bank of Miami. Danny Casolaro’s investigations also focused on drug connections. Casolaro mentioned the Kuhn Sa Golden Triangle drug trade (August 8, 1991). He received death-threats on August 9. His body was found on August 10. He had mentioned a Cali-Cartel money-laundering connection with attorney Mike Abbell. Riconosciuto mentioned the Cali-cocaine-Cartel and Colombian kingpin called Gilberto (Rodriguez).
.
DIRE THINGS
.
Riconosciuto suspected that Casolaro had come across dire things such as germ warfare technology, as found in Danny’s notes, as well as comments about slow-acting brain viruses, Mad Cow Disease, Robert Booth Nichols, Glen Shockley of FIDCO and Meridan International Logistics; the Japanese Yakuza. Casolaro said: “…its origins spawned thirty years ago in the shadow of the Cold War.” Casolaro’s list of names grew: Richard Helms, Howard Hunt, and Robert Chasen. Riconosciuto said: “…I know PROMIS, I know FOIMS (Field Office Information Management System – SE) inside out. I helped develop that internal tracking audit trail…”

.
Clint W. Murchison had connections with strong right-wing influences; connections with FIDCO, and Robert Maheu of Howard Hughes fame. Seymour went through a list of CIA-connected operatives at FIDCO places were DEA and CIA agents could deal in arms, use as transit points, and bootleg computer software. “…Euramae, as run by El-Jorr, was more like a low-life social club than a secret intelligence centre…” (p. 102). FIDCO was said to be a National Security Council “front corporation.”
“Front organizations” often dealt in “technical wizardry” – or prototype military or combat equipment; Hoffman electronics (p. 103). Robert Booth Nichols was also known as “Mr. Big” – and his ROM importing business was a cover for big-time heroin trafficking from the Golden Triangle. Booth was also a suspected hit man for the Tongs. He had offices around the globe. He was on the Board of Directors of FIDCO.

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

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

MORE DEATHS
.
The deaths of Ian Stuart Spiro and his wife and children in 1992 followed his connection with Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages and the pirating of software. His name appeared in Lt. Col. Oliver North’s notebooks. Spiro’s business partner, Robert Corson, was also found dead in a motel room. This was followed by the death of Alan Michael May who had connections with the Cabazon/ Wackenhut Joint Venture. Seymour disclosed that Al Hobert, an Israeli intelligence officer, recruited Riconosciuto into the CIA and “The Company.”
.
Grave Site of the Ian Stuart Spiro Family
.
“I designed communications equipment,” said Riconosciuto. “I did a lot of software development.”
Charlie Weinberg invented the Vortex Chemical Company for Al Hobert; this activity attracted the attention of Dr. John Phillip Nichols at Wackenhut/Cabazon. Holbert turned out to be a double Soviet/Israeli agent and Treasury agent.
.
WEBS
.
Riconosciuto’s partner, Paul Morasca, was found dead by Riconosciuto: hog–tied and arms lashed. Morasca was suspected of drug laundering. Then Mary Quick was fatallyshot: Quick was carrying multi-million dollar computer cards that belonged to Tyme Shares On-line Financial Clearing House. “I developed the modem, error trapping routine,” said Riconosciuto.
The “web” entailed SDS; Sigmat; P-E-R-T; EDS’s. In December 1981, Michael met with George Wackenhut. Wrote John Connolly in SPYMagazine, September 1992: “So, the wealthy president of a large security company with CIA ties and one of his board members meet with drug dealer turned electronics expert and a spook turned arms supplier…”
Robert Booth Nichols was linked to biological technology in Japanese institutes and Meridian International Logistics. MCA Entertainment Division was also sued for organized crime, but this was stopped at a high-level (p. 134): the MCA labyrinth. Riconosciuto and Nichols were both interested “…in developing new high-tech sub-machine guns and powerful explosive devices…electromagnetic pulse…,” as well a $500- million stock fraud in international organized crime. Nichols said: “I am involved in the research and development of weapons systems, ranging from the basic blow-back automatic weapons to various advanced destructive devices.”
.
.
Strangely, Nichols was also an investor “in a method for induction and activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes”: Biological warfare; back to an “Old Boy” network from the 1950s. Nichols was advancing, as well, a Research and Development facility on the Cabazon Indian Reservation: arm-sales to NATO, U.S Army, and Germany.
.
MORE WEBS
.
Wackenhut branched into property In Canada. Nichols worked in arms and electronic trading. President of Intersect Corporation; John Vanderwerker, Glenn Shockley, a board director of FIDCO and MIL, both were on CIA payroll; links to Union Bank of Suisse of Zurich, Switzerland. Forty-two Cobra helicopters were purchased by NATO, and then they were suddenly diverted to “North Korea,” then Iraq (p. 144). Oliver North supplied Iran, the CIA supplied Iraq, and Wackenhut supplied the Contras: all supervised by the U.S government: the Reagan administration’s efforts to aid the Nicaraguan Contras. The House Judiciary Committee on Inslaw gave proof “that Wackenhut sold arms to the Contras.”
(An aside, according to CIA operative General Manual Noriega, he was paid 11-million-dollars from a CIA slush fund and maintained that “planes carrying arms to Nicaraguan rebels returned to the United States loaded with illegal drugs.” [pp. 147-148])
.
MORE TANGLED WEBS
.
Cytotoxins were mentioned in Bio-Rad Industrial Park/ Wackenhut/Cabazon biological warfare letters: “Hitler’s wet dream.” Riconosciuto added: “Horrible things. You know, it makes what the Nazis did to the Jews look mild….horrible germ warfare project….” (p. 152). Some of the toxic chemicals made it to Saddam Hussein through international trafficking of armaments (ITAR).
Peter Videnicks, a Justice Department CIA cut-out was the administrator of the contract between Inslaw and the DOJ. A $10-million-dollar deal to install PROMISin its 20 largest U.S Attorneys offices fell through in 1983. Dr. Earl Brian was one of Ronald Reagan’s “fast track” inner sanctums and he served a large Intelligence Community; he was involved with PROMIS. He was called “the Genius Doctor” in the field of biological technology; biotech Capital Corporation and American Cytogenetic. Infergene was in violation of toxic waste. “….chlamydia, herpes, and HSV-2….bacteria of unknown etiology” (p. 157). Radioactive Butanol; Beef mucosa; DNA technology; Yersinia Pestis: the Black Plague. “…if an accident had occurred, all of Berkeley would have been wiped out.” A proposal by Wackenhut to Dr. Harry Fair was “a secret government installation” and the Army Weapons Division; Gulf War Syndrome (GWS); mass sociogenic illness.
.
TANGLED, TANGLED WEBS
.
To quote Robert Chasen of Wackenhut: “Wackenhut was running amuck.” Nichols and Peter Zokosky attempted to “sell the biological warfare technology (developed in cow uteri)” through Wackenhut; Ebola Zaire Virus. “A tiny change in its genetic code,” said Richard Preston in TheHot Zone, “and it might (have) zoomed through the human race.”
Nichols confessed to Seymour that he and John Vanderwerker were CIA facilitators and the shipment of the 42 Cobra helicopters was a “classified” operation. “Without drugs,” said Nichols, “banks and whole countries would collapse financially.” (p. 173.) Wackenhut was involved in chemicals destined for King Fahd of Saudi Arabia; lethal toxins; Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Peter Zokosky described a process by which the Venture “had incubated the virus in cow uteri and udders in bio-labs twenty floors beneath the ground.” (p. 176.)
(UFOlogists and paranormal investigators recognize stories of the cattle and animal mutilations where utters and other bodily parts are mysteriously and surgically removed.)
.
Wackenhut Security Experimented with Animals
.
The MCA Home Entertainment Division is described as “facilitating the largest leveraging scam ever conceived in this country.”
Nichols alleged that Riconosciuto had killed Paul Morasca.
.
DOCTORED ZAPRUDER FILM
.
Among other things discussed with Nichols was a film uncovered by him of an alleged “un-cut” version of the Kennedy/Zapruder film demonstrating the CIA’s ability to “cover up anything it wants.” Seymour speculated that the showing was a ploy by Nichols to later claim deniability.
Nichols claimed to have worked in MK-Ultra-Manchurian-Candidate programs; Phoenix Project; The Chosen Ones; German SS occultism. “I felt sure the corporate and government connections,” said Seymour, “were little more than ‘fronts’ for large-scale drug trafficking.”
.
DEATH THREAT
.
Because of name-dropping of a secret Nichols meeting, Seymour’s life was threatened. It would be another death – seven altogether – if it happened (p. 191). Real life “Dungeons and Dragons….biological warfare, high-tech weaponry, and large-scale heroin and cocaine operations worldwide…down the big, black hole.” Seymour said that the “war” between the FBI and the DOJ was a “key” to the Octopus story. PROMIS could be modified to track money laundering activity as well as Intel gathering, hack databases, control hundreds of accounts, and move money through the international banking system (p. 198); CHIPS and SWIFT. In 1992, that was $2 billion dollars a day: laundering with ties to the Gambino crime family and the Yakuza.
Nichols, in criminal style, had hung a man in front of a prop plane which sucked the victim towards the propellers. That victim was Sam Marowitz, a professional hitman.

We continue with Cheri Seymour’s tenacious sleuthing of the many deaths and circumstances surrounding the late researcher Danny Casolaro and “TheOctopus.”
.
Danny Casolaro
.
Chemical magnate Al Holbert was a former Israeli intelligence officer who gave special education classes to law enforcement agencies in the U.S. His address was Fort Mead, home of the Intelligence Security Command and Delta Force. Holbert exported cryptic substances out of his mail-order chemical outfit. Danny Casolaro ‘carted about’ a transcript of Octopus connections and Riconosciuto interviews at the DOJ: a month before his death.
Nichols said of the FBI, CIA: “…they’ve become so corrupt and polluted they don’t know what they’re doing half the time….” (p. 209).
Nichols testified that he worked for the CIA since the 1960s when he was recruited by a “Ken.” He was told to take a job with a Hawaiian security firm.
.
CALI CARTEL
.
Eventual prosecution of persons of interest occurred in 1995: money laundering, drug conspiracy and racketeering, obstruction of justice. It was a 161-page indictment.
Suspicious bacteriological experiments by all major combatants, including Axis Powers during World War II were noted. Japan was a principal suspect. A laboratory at Fort Detrick emerged to study bacteriological warfare (BW). It was a germ-warfare Manhattan Project-type operation: typhus, diphtheria, bubonic plague. Major General Ishii, Unit 731, experimented on human beings. Pin Fan. Experiments became international: cholera, anthrax, TD, typhoid, rickettsia, dysentery, cyanides, and botulinum.
.
TOXINS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
.
America secured BW technology for their refusal to open war crimes investigations. The secret industry flourished. FIDCO secured those secrets. Kafkaesque.
.
MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
.
Seymour linked to the CIA 1940s experiments in Mind Control; World War II. Scientific experiments were also incorporated. CIA programs ranged from exotic herbs to screening candidates for outlandish, chemical and biological warfare (CBW). CIA screening methods were adapted and used by AT&T (p. 222). “…the line between offense and defense – if it ever existed – soon became so blurred as to be meaningless.” Operation Artichoke; Technical Services Staff (TSS); Clandestine Services, Directorate of Operations; MK-Ultra; MK-Naomi; Staph Enterotoxin; Venezuelan Equine; Encephalon-Myelitis Virus; aerosol sprays. Operative George White wrote: “…I toiledwholeheartedlyinthevineyards becauseitwasfun, fun, fun. Whereelsecould ared-blooded American boy lie,kill,cheat,steal,rape,andpillagewiththesanctionof the All-Highest.”
.
PSYOPS
.
Sid Gottlieb took control of MK-Ultra. Wackenhut board member Stansfield Turner lied to President Carter about the goals of MK-Ultra. The Scientific Engineering Institute carried the ball as a proprietary company. One operative said: “If you could find the natural radio frequency of a person’s sphincter, you could make him run out of the room real fast…creating a subservient society was not out of sight.” HIV is described as a “chimera” created in 1977 at Fort Detrick, Maryland; genetic engineering; psychological operations (PSYOP) and Mind War. “…Mind War operative, consequently, must not be detectable by ordinary means…” (p. 235).
.
Training for Biological Warfare
.
Major Michael A. Aquino advocated “psychotronics,” and proudly advertised his interest in Satanism (p. 236). He also advocated interest in Hitler and Nazism, The Vehm, the Thule Gesellschaft, and the Ahnenerbe.
.
Michael A. Aquino
.
DOMESTIC USES
.
A 1993 Los Alamos conference was aimed at uses of psychotronic systems as weapons of law enforcement for domestic civilians; directed-energy-weapon-technologies. General E.C. Meyer, former Chief of Staff of the U.S Army, had also set up a Department of Defense Conference in which Michael Riconosciuto was a principal speaker on this topic. “…you can genetically engineer these biological agents….a specific penetration group can be immunized, and everybody else dies,” said Riconosciuto.
The fraud-ridden Nugan Hand Bank collapsed in June 1980 after its co-founder, Frank Nugan, was shot to death. Nine-top-ranking U.S military and intelligence officers had worked forthe bank. The Bank assets were looted by CIAproprietaries.

TANGLED TANGLES
.
Bill and Nancy Hamilton’s Inslaw/PROMISprogram was fraudulently coveted by the CIA, NSA, FBI, DEA, and DOJ. The DOJ copied versions of PROMISinto 45 U.S Attorneys Offices.
Ronald LeGrand, the chief investigator, said: “Inslaw is a lot dirtier for the Department of Justice, in its breadth and depth than Watergate.” The Criminal Division was the nerve center. To date, the government hides “additional uses” of PROMIS; probably laundering money from drug profits (p. 255).
.
The Illuminati
.
Michael Riconosciuto modified the PROMISsoftware during 1983-1984. One investigator, attorney Paul Wilcher, also met his death on June 23, 1993, adding more lethal statistics in the Shadow Government.
Seymour outlined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation and their interest in PROMISand Seymour’s investigation. The Strategic Software Company was one facilitator. The RCMP investigation found that “the drug angle” was a “key piece to the puzzle” (p. 299).
Added to the deaths in the syndrome were the execution-style triple homicides of former Cabazon Tribal Council Vice-chairman Fred Alvarez, Ralph Boger, and Patricia Castro on June 29, 1981.
A December 2, 1982, FBI report indicated that Robert Booth Nichols also conducted money laundering for Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines.
.
RCMP CONFIRMATION
.
The RCMP obtained an 11-page chronology revealing Wackenhut Corporations “joint venture” at the Cabazon Indian reservation. The RCMP determined that Robert Booth Nichols made severalcalls to governmentagencies, “and one of them went into the White House” (p. 313).
The RCMP investigated as to the U.S government placing “a backdoor deal” in Canada’s PROMISsoftware system. Detective Sue Todd said: “Who controls the flow of money controls countries. PROMIS was tailored by Riconosciuto for banking and money laundering.” ECHELON and PROMIS: a treaty between the U.S and Canada to share the data from that spy apparatus. “Memorandums” discovered Indo-China project shipments of heroin involving the combined Gambino-Gotti-Castellano families (p. 321) and related murders. Officer Sean McDade said: “…more than one Presidential Administration will be exposed…” “The most secret computer systems in the western world…secret copies of PROMIS indeed were bootlegged, modified and sold illegally.”
DEMAND FOR DRUGS
.
Peter Zokosky, a former officer of Naval Intelligence, said drugs were the new ‘gold’: “Drugs are a business at the highest levels of corporations because there are a huge market and demand for drugs.” “…persuasive business…everyone is involved…” (p. 341). Zokosky also told about “biological warfare ‘viruses’ (that were) being developed in cow uteri by Stormont Laboratories.” “Anti-toxin kits” sold to the Army and the Food Machinery Corporation of America (FMC).
.
Germ Warfare
.
FBI agent Tomas Gates revealed evidence that a connection existed between the corrupt MCA, Attorney General Edwin Meese, and the White House (p. 348) and the Reagan administration. MCA had been Ronald Reagan’s agent in Hollywood and it held a multi-million dollar monopoly. Top officials in the White House Strike Force against Organized Crime were told to eliminate MCA from their probe.
.
TANGLED TENTACLES
.
The U.S Department of Justice controlled the “Old Boy cronies,” “stampeding through the government,” “cowboying” the intelligence community, drug cartels and organized crime, “blazing new trails” into every facet of criminal enterprise (p. 355). Suspect Eugene Giaquinto threatened to call Edwin Meese and have the inquiry stopped..
.
There was a move on to stop the investigation that the government had misappropriated PROMIS for sensitive national security projects. The FBI wiretaps were shut down in the Fall of 1988. A hard-hitting, aggressive prosecutor, Marvin Rudnick, proved the DOJ was involved in a cover-up. Rooting out the Mob was a problem. Robert Booth Nichols was referred to as “being higher than the CIA” (p. 368). He said: “this is a cover-up that goes all the way to the top…mob infiltration and CIA influence at MCA.” As part of an intelligence operation involving PROMIS, Nichols was an undercover operative working for the NSA and DOJ. He was also “involved with the Gambino crime family and the Yakuza,” MIL, Innovative Medical Research and Technologies: and “the Illuminati” (p. 376).
.
GOVERNMENT MAN
.
Nichols was identified as the “governmentman” in his dealings with the Mob and John Gotti. Nichols was moving money into Swiss Bank accounts, as well as demanding a trialbyjury in the Bayou, New York case, but he died on February 14, 2009. A public trial “would have exposed a scandal far exceeding the Bernie Madoff fiasco.” (pp. 385 – 389)
Some researchers speculated that Nichols may have disappeared into a Witness ProtectionProgramwith a new identity.
.
A $250-BILLION PONZI SCHEME
.
Tentacles of “TheOctopus” reached into the School of the Americas (SOA), a combat training school for Latin American Soldiers in Fort Banning, Georgia, called the “school for assassins.”
Bill Hamilton said: “…the unforgivable use of unauthorized NSA bank surveillance version of PROMIS to launder profits from drug trafficking so some of them could be used to finance covert intelligence projects.”
It was described as an unfathomable 250-billion-dollar-worldwide Ponzi scheme.
Cheri Seymour summarized: “…nothing can be done to dismantle the Octopus; there is no one in office in this great nation that has the power to prosecute the Octopus criminals because the tentacles have become an integral and accepted culture within our society, and indeed our economy.”
.
One Hell of an Octopus
.
KENN THOMAS INVESTIGATION
.
“After Casolaro’s death, Michael Riconosciuto made claims that Casolaro had learned nothing more than what one of two intelligence factions wanted him to know in order to embarrass the other faction,” said paranormal investigator Kenn Thomas. “One faction was called Aquarius and had a leadership sub-group called MJ-12, the name, of course, of the supposed secret group founded by Harry Truman in the wake of the Roswell flying saucer crash. Riconosciuto even told one writer that he had witnessed the autopsy of an alien body. This was long before the famous [Ray Santilli] alien autopsy film began to circulate. Some have suggested that the tales of extraterrestrials that surround areas like Area 51 and Pine Gap serve as disinformation to deflect attention away from serious issues such as gun-running and black project weapons development. Casolaro’s own view, and the extent of his knowledge and interest in this tributary from the Octopus research, and whatever he learned that might have brought the truth closer to the surface of the murky waters in which he swam, may have died with him.”

For those who read TheOctopus From Hell in the July 20 to 29, 2013 issues of the UFO Digest – ufodigest.com/article/octopus-hell-0704-0707 – they will be familiar with the quizzical meanderings of CIA operative Robert Booth Nichols.
In this tome, the reader is given another ‘slice’ of Nichols’s life, through the unveiling by Guy Lawson into the various aspects of this Government Operative that has never been explored before. The book has to do with Hedge Fund adventurer Sam Israel’s rise from a Wall Street ‘clerk’ to a multimillionaire-Hedge-Fund ‘owner’: Bayou Funds Management.
Using every ‘trick’ that Israel had learned as a fledgling stockbroker, Bayou grew into multiple clients; one hitch existed: Theywerelosingmoney.
“The events of 9/11 permanently transformed Bayou. Trading out of the hole was no longer a realistic option___unless a miracle occurred___Bayou needed to attract money,” said Lawson, “a lot of money very, very quickly.”
Powered by his own trading programming software, however, called ForwardPropagation, an 86 percent accuracy rate (Israel’s scale) was not enough to cover losses. Israel was prospecting for newer ways to create quick cash. Then, he heard of the infamous PROMISsoftware: “The program had been so successful that American intelligence agency apparatus had secretly stolen the software to pt to use covertly.”
Sam Israel thought that if he could obtain the PROMISprogram, it would leverage him into a world-wide money-tracking system.
Enter Robert Booth Nichols.
.
Robert Booth Nichols
.
“I want PROMIS. I know you’re in the computer program,” said Israel, “I know about you, and I want PROMIS.”
Instead, Nichols diverted Israel into equally mysterious, equally fantastic, secret trading program – a secret bond market – that only high-yield-elite clients could participate in.
.
Sam Israel’s Trading Room
.
“There is a secret government operating within the world’s government. They run the secret trading program – the high yield market,” said Nichols, “only a few chosen people participate in the program. The returns are staggering.”
A great part of the book is filled with gyrations of intrigue concerning Robert Nichols Booth and Sam Israel trying to place a multi-million dollar trade that could telescope into over 6-billion-dollar windfall. True to Nichols’s shadowycharacter, a lot of strange participants are introduced as ‘fellow investors’ in the Shadow Market, never knowing if they are really objective investors trying to participate into a secret windfall investment—or, were they part of a confidencegame, carried on by Nichols and other questionable figures?
“All the cloak-and-dagger stuff was driving me out of my mind,” said Israel, “I was constantly looking over my shoulder wondering who was following me. I could feel the presence of people watching me.”
The activity spanned international jaunts to interviews and tests with various ‘investment trysts.’ Nichols was totally convincing in living up to the espionage ‘spook‘ portrayed in Cheri Seymour’s TheLastCircle; enter FBI special agents Catauro and his partner Kevin Walsh, and Cameron ‘Kip’ Holmes of the Arizona Attorney General’s office: they cast suspicion on Nichols-Israel ‘efforts’ to reach the holy grail of the Shadow Market. Israel could no longer give buoyancy to his hedge fund which he successfully camouflaged its losses: he announced the closing of Bayou Funds Management.
“In nearly a decade, the chairman of Bayou, the charade of Bayou Funds had transformed from accountingtrickery to true–crime chiller to tragedy to parody,” said Lawson. “Nichols’s testimony must qualify as some of the strangest evidence ever offered in a federal proceeding. Nichols told his life story, from his days at a Hollywood professional school to his night cruising the five-star-bars of Honolulu for the CIA. He stated under oath that he’d been an asset to the U.S government for decades.”
According to Lawson, Nichols, Israel, and legions of conned investors had been victims of a swindler named BarryMcNeil. The victims never paid tax on their investment, they couldn’t go to the police.
On January 30, 2008, Israel was sentenced to 20 years in prison for white-collar crime.
.
The Arrest of Sam Israel
The X-Funds
.
Fortunately (or, unfortunately, as the case be), the mystery behind any of the said bonds and funds that Nichols played around with, probably alluded to muchmore than Barry McNeil and all these mysterious financial trysts (several may have been and appear to be ‘patsies‘ and ‘fronts‘ for a much deeper operation, including Nigel Finch, Emily Hardwick, and others). Investigator Joseph P. Farrell disclosed in a series of his books, ranging a history going back before World War I, that a HiddenWorld financial empire had existed running through components of history as the survivaloftheNazi Reich, the 2008WallStreetcrash, even the 9/11Conspiracy, and actually continuing to the present day.
Quotes From a WordPress 507 article on this topic:
“Joseph P. Farrell has written many interesting tomes on the occult, esotericism, and mysterious happenings, and equally fascinating is his trilogy on the emergence, continuance, and conquest by Nazism as revealed in:
Adventures Unlimited Press, One Adventure Place, Kempton, Illinois 60946, $19.95.
“Farrell speaks of discovered multi-billion dollar slushfunds of counterfeit currency described as goldbonds but encoded to mean drug–trading in trading coups used to finance revolutionary technologies such as TheBell and flying saucer experiments.
“The tradingcoups ran under many names. Operation Golden Lily, Japan’s M-Fund, Foundation X, Operation Bernhard, the 57 Bond, Federal Reserve Bonds, Operation Morganthaus, Federal Reserve Bonds, and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), among others.
“Described as a BreakawayCivilization mixing in with special secret technology, this cabal utilized intelligence agents such as Edward Lansdale, whose CIA and intelligence training preceded his, once again, going back to the Philippines to oversee the recovery of the GoldenLilyloot.”
Bryan Burrough said in his review of Lawson’s book:
“Desperate to claw out of his $117 million hole, Mr. Israel meets his mystery man, Robert Booth Nichols, in 2004. Mr. Nichols, who died five years later, was actually a kind of celebrity, a star of conspiracy theory world who was portrayed on the Internet as a longtime C.I.A. operative linked to a shadow world government, the holder of secrets to everything from the Kennedy assassination to a World War II-era hoard of Japanese gold. Some called this vast ‘conspiracy’ the Octopus.”

“Tosh Plumlee claims that Barry Seal began working for the Central Intelligence Agency in the mid 1950s: ‘Barry Seal was involved with military intelligence in the early days… Military intelligence was the real game, with the CIA just acting as logistical people. Barry was a peripheral player back then, but he was a CIA ‘contract’ pilot all the way back to 1956 or 1957.
“In 1958 Seal began ferrying weapons to Fidel Castro fighting against the the Fulgencio Batista regime in Cuba. At the time a section of the CIA was supporting the overthrow of Batista. However, the policy changed soon after Castro gained power and Seal is said to have taken part in air attacks on the new government.”
“There was no (space) race: there was a cooperation,” said Levenda, “…another level of government in the world.”
The term “Men in Black” had become a very popular term in both movies and books depicting mysterious men wearing dark suits, driving somber-looking automobiles and behaving in an outrageous manner, often described wearing dark sunglasses, and threatening UFO witnesses to be silent in talking about their respective UFO accounts. Sometimes they confiscated any UFO evidence.
“Could they be secret agents of some covert – but earthly power or, even more fantastic, could they be aliens themselves who are disguised to look human,” said Jenny Randles. “Or, is it all just imagination?”

EARLY STORIES
One of the early MIB (Men in Black) cases concerned an Albert K. Bender who in 1953 was head of a group called the IFSB (International Flying Saucer Bureau). Upon learning of a supposed “UFO Secret,” Bender wrote an IFSB member about the mystery. A few days later, August 1953, three men in black suits arrived at this home with the letter that Bender sent out. Their demeanor was very threatening. The men explained to Bender that the Pentagon had known the truth about UFOs for several years. They told Bender that the truth would come out in three years, 1956, but that never took place. The MIB told Bender that he would go to prison for treason if he spoke out. They “intimated” to Bender that Bender’s “sources” of the secret had been “moved out of the way” by various methods such as relocation to high security jobs to “shut people up.”
.
They Use Intimidation
.
The late Gray Barker in They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers (Werner Laurie Books, 1956) published the episode in the book. (Later events revealed that Barker, unfortunately, along with the late Jim Moseley, had been involved in UFO hoaxes.) To make matters worse, in 1962, Bender wrote a “tell all” book on the incident. Its contents were just as mysterious: the three men were actually aliens from the planet Kazik. Barker warned others to disbelieve Bender’s book. “Certainly, the version of Bender’s 1953 encounter as told here,” said Randles, “is remarkably different from that initially reported by Barker six years earlier.” Bender no longer seemed interested in promoting his book, and moved into hiding.

THE TACOMA UFOs
Another early case began on June 21, 1947 in Puget Sound near Maury Island, Tacoma, Washington where Harold Dahl and his 15-year-old son sighted six-donut shaped objects flying over the water. One of the objects spewed material, some of which struck and killed their pet dog and hospitalized the boy.
The tale escalated through several characters and included famed UFO witness Kenneth Arnold, the late publisher Ray Palmer, CIA spook Fred Crisman (Crisman was later discovered in numerous covert intelligence escapades best exemplified in Kenn Thomas’ JFK and UFOMilitary Industrial Conspiracy and Cover-up to Maury Island.), Air Force investigators Brown and Davidson, and others. It was a matrix of intrigue and facts. Brown and Davidson died in a B-25 plane crash transporting UFO fragments. Harbor man Fred Crisman, Dahl’s boss, disappeared, which also included the dilapidation of Dahl’s home, which had appeared to be normal previously. The home appeared to be deserted and derelict for months, though Arnold and Major George Sanders had recently visited Dahl’s place. The “time line” of events seemed extraordinaire. The best rendition was Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer’s The Coming of theSaucers (Amherst Press, 1952).
.
ROOM WAS BUGGED
On June 22, 1947, about 7:00 a.m., a strange man about 40-years-of-age, dressed in black, driving a dark sedan automobile, ventured to take Dahl to breakfast for, what Dahl presumed, would be a talk about salvage. Instead, the MIB began to tell Dahl that he could relate everydetail of the events of the day before. He revealed quite a bit of detail. “…if Dahl knew what good for him and loved his family he would keep quiet about the matter.”
Ted Morello, the head of the United Press in Tacoma, knew about everything that was going on in hotel room 502 at the Winthrop Hotel. He had been mysteriously and continually informed. Investigators suspected that the room was bugged somehow.
.
TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
UFO-related photographs taken by Jim Templeton on May 24, 1964 at Carlisle, Scotland indicated that he had unknowingly photographed a “space-suited” figure behind his daughter. This became known as the “Cumberland Spaceman.” Sometime towards the end of June, MIB made appearances, first as a phone call, and then a visit from two men in black suits. The men drove a dark, shiny Jaguar automobile. They flashed identity cards that the men said proved they were from the government. The men began an interrogation about the weather that day, how did sheep and cows also react, what were the flight patterns of birds, wind in the trees, distant traffic, and other strange questions.

NORAD IMPOSTER
Former police officer and FBI trainee Rex Heflin witnessed and photographed on August 3, 1965 a disc-shaped UFO over Orange County, California. A mystery man in a dark business suit gave Heflin during an interview supposed proof that he was an North American Dense Command G-2 officer of NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command [formerly called North American Air Defense Command]). He acquired Heflin’s photographs (NORAD later denied such an authorization). There never was a return of the photos.
Then, in 1967, two men arrived in a dark car with a violet glow coming from behind darkened windows. The alleged Air Force officers, uniformed as Intelligence officers, interrogated Heflin with odd questions such as about the Bermuda Triangle. Heflin’s radio set demonstrated interference when the men entered Heflin’s home. Heflin demanded identification, which the interrogators produced, but their names were neverlocatedingovernmentrecords.

JOHN KEEL’S MIBS
Journalist John Keel had multiple encounters with mysterious visitors. One typical case involved a MIB and Jell-O. After encountering a UFO in November 1966 in Owatonna, Minnesota, two women appeared to communicate with the supposed occupants by “channeling” before the UFO disappeared. Strange phone calls ensued and a visit by olive-skinned Major Richard French wearing a dark suit followed. French drove a new Mustang car. The man came back for a second visit. He acted strangely: he tried to drink Jell-O for an upset stomach. Later, they traced the car’s license number to a “hire car.” French was not located in the USAF files (p. 102).
Many readers probably recall the macabre tales of the “Moth man” during 1966 and 1967 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia where a strange bat-like apparition with “coal red” eyes terrified witnesses. However, amidst mystery-telephone-calls, prophecy, ultrasonic radiation, poltergeists, and a collapsing bridge into the Ohio River, MIBs also appeared. A deeply suntanned, dark-haired man also attempted to grab Connie Carpenter unsuccessfully on February 22, 1967. A threatening note was pushed under her door. A mysterious “blond women” went about interviewing citizens.
.
The Mothman
.
APOL
During June 1967, following her UFO sighting, “Jane” was approached by a suntanned man in a dark suit. He drove a black Cadillac. He said his name was Apol. On June 12, Apol gave Jane a capsule that turned out to be a sulphur compound. On June 17, a “Colonel John Dalton” and a young Lieutenant, allegedly from a near military base, interrogated Jane in a threatening manner with a paper form listing questions about her medical history and personal life. Jane refused. The men left in a blue station wagon. Another similar incident followed. Jane Paro was abducted by a man in a black Cadillac who queried her relentlessly, as flashing lights on the dashboard seemed to hypnotize her. The auto had a septic smell. The man held a “pungent smelling bottle” under her nose before she was released.
.
They Came in Black Cadillacs
.
Keel received a series of phone calls from Apol, imbedded with prophecies, culminating in the collapse of the Silver Bridge on December 15, 1967.
“Many MIB stories are in essence simply about a strange visitor who asks seemingly odd questions and knows things he ought not to know,” said Randles. “From the evidence to date we have built up a picture of the Man in Black that is chilling in its consistency. There really do appear to be intimidators out there threatening ordinary people who simply have the misfortune to experience a close encounter.”
.
AFSAC
Randles contemplated the manytheories and reported scenarios of the MIBs. Her book was rich in quizzical oddities. She scrutinized that some may be sophisticated hoaxes from terrestrial sources perhaps utilizing moderntechnology. She pointed to the Air Force Social Activities Center (AFSAC) and its predecessor, the 1127TH, as “an odd ball unit, a composite of Special Intelligence groups. The men of the 1127th were con artists; their job was to get people to talk.” Bill Moore deciphered this to mean they were a sordid crew of burglars, impersonators, disguise artists, “eccentric geniuses and useful flakes…even from prisons when necessary.” (p. 227.) Other theories were very decorative. Some suggested demons from Biblical times. John Keel felt that they were visitors from another dimension.
“Unfortunately, we cannot dictate what evidence we must investigate,” said Randles. “These Men in Black are real, and the people who report them deserve our attention. We should strive to find out whether these threatening strangers are just a part of some secret department investigating UFOs or are visiting this world from somewhere beyond our ken.”

ADDITIONAL CASES
Robert Richardson of Toledo, Ohio, had an accident with a UFO in the night during July 1967 as he sped around a bend in the road. Unable to halt, Richardson collided, finding a lump of metal later. He reported the case to the (now defunct) Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). Three days later, about 11:00 p.m., two men in their twenties visited Richardson for about ten minutes. They made no warnings and left in a black 1953 Cadillac. The auto was in mint condition. There was no assurance of the license number yet. A week later, two different men came in a current model Dodge automobile. The men wore black suits. One spoke English; the other had an accent. They tried to convince him that he did not hit anything on the night of his encounter. Then they insisted he give them the metal. “If you want your wife to stay as pretty as she is,” threatens one man, “you better get the metal back.”
Only the Richardsons and APRO knew of the UFO facts. Discovery was not possible by anyone else, unless there was tapping of the phones.
.
A LUMINOUS SILO
One evening in November 1961, a Mister Paul Miller, returning from a hunting trip with three companions, sighted an object in a field near Minot, North Dakota. At first, they thought it was a crashed plane. Miller then said it resembled a “luminous silo.” As they approached the object, “two humanoids” confronted them. Miller panicked and fired his rifle at one of the creatures who responded with a bawdy curse and asked in surprise, “Why did you do that for?”
The men from the craft fled and the object disappeared. The hunter experienced a “black out” and had a loss of three hours in memory.
Miller went to work the next day to an Air Force office. Three men in black suits arrived. They said they were from the government, but showed no credentials. In a very brash manner, they queried Miller as to if he was being truthful, but they already knew every detail of the incident. “We have a report,” they informed. They examined the boots that Miller was wearing that night. “They seemed to know everything about me; where I worked, my name, everything else,” Miller said.
Carlos de Santos Montiel was flying his Piper PA-24 plane over Tlalpan, Mexico on May 3, 1975 when he was besieged by 3 disc-like objects that escorted de Santos for some time. The plane would not respond at first, but the 23-year-old regained control and landed at the Benito Juarez International Business Airport. “They were disc-shaped, about three to four meters in diameter without antennas,” said Carlos, “had a dull gray fuselage and a sort of windshield, all without rivets and completely smooth.”
Carlos de Santos Montiel UFO Sighting
.
Following his encounter, a black limousine coached Carlos to a stop. A man in a black suit prevented Carlos from leaving his car and he noticed four men with wide shoulders, resembling Scandinavians with pasty skin. “Listen kid, if you value your life,” demanded one of the men, “do not talk to anyone about what you saw.”
.
They Visited Montiel
.
A month later, June 1975, waiting at a tavern to speak to UFO researcher/astronomer J. Allen Hynek, one of the same MIBs approached Carlos. “We warned you not to talk,” the MIB threatened. Carlos described the MIBs as being “strange, burly…pallor skin.”
In 1924, Newsman John Cole went to investigate a crashed plane in Braxton County, West Virginia. A man in a suit met him. The man had high cheekbones, slant eyes, and dark skin. He informed Cole that “no one was hurt and no crime committed.” The man was also looking for a “thingamajig.” At 3:00 a.m., an Army officer came, having the same foreign appearance, making demands about the same object (John Keel, The Cosmic Question, Panther Granada Publishing, 1978).
“Some people believe that the world’s governments are in cahoots to suppress information on the subject, have spread the idea that the ‘Men in Black’ are CIA agents,” said researcher Linda Murphy in Astronet Review No. 1, February 1, 1992, “but this hypothesis is difficult to maintain in view of the evidence for their world-wide appearances, the uniformity and peculiarity of their looks, and strangeness of their conduct.”
“Study of 32 of the more reliable cases on file reveals the many details diverge markedly from the archetypal story: there were, for instance, no visitors at all in four cases, only subsequent telephone calls,” said Orbis Publishing, 1991, “The Unexplained,” No.10, “and, for the remainder, only five involved three men, two involved four, five involved two, while in the rest there was mention only of a single visitor.”
Perhaps the most comprehensive list is that of Gareth J. Medway in the March 8, 2012 Mac’sUFONews: “The following list cannot be complete, but it does I think include all of the well-known cases, and many little-known ones.”
Some researchers even maintained that the famed September 19, 1961 UFO abduction of Barney and Betty Hill near Portsmouth, New Hampshire indicated a paranormal and mystical nature of the “visitors.” John Fuller’s The Interrupted Journey fully examined the episode (Penguin Group, 1975).
.
The Abductors
.
Described as “red-headed Irishman,” one of the “visitors” that appeared was wearing “a shiny black coat and black scarf.” The creatures had strange insect-like faces with wide, thin mouths, huge slanting eyes that seemed to glow and went around the creatures’ heads. “The point is that we Americans are building a mythology for ourselves,” said Linda Murphy, February 1, 1992 in Astronet Review, No. 1, “just as the Europeans did with their tales of dragons, ogres and elves, and just as all people have done in all parts of the world in all ages.”
.
Betty Hill’s Alien
.
THE DEVIL
Linda Murphy continued: “The devil, for example, was very often described as a man dressed in black. The ability to change shape and appear in any form was common, attributed to demons…the same range of physical symptoms reported by those who encountered the MIBs.”
George Hansen in The Trickster and the Paranormal (Xlibris Corporation, http://www.xlibris.com . 2001) denoted such a phenomenon as “theTrickster”: “The ‘Trickster’ is a character type that appears worldwide in folklore and mythology. The term was probably first introduced in this context in 1885 by Daniel G. Brinton. Virtually all cultures have Tricksters, and there are innumerable examples; a few include: coyote of North American Indians, Hermes of the Greeks, Elegiac of West Africa, and Loki of the Norse. There is considerable diversity among them. At one end are primitive buffoons, at the other, gods.”
“…there is a strong case here for psychic aspects of UFOs,” said Jacques Vallee, “but just saying that UFOs belong to the realm of psychic phenomenon doesn’t explain them.” Vallee added: “”It may be that there is inherent in our species, a sort of built-in defense mechanism, that reveals itself only in times of extreme social stress, and one of its manifestations is the phenomenon known as UFOs…that certainly produces some very unusual biological consequences…a triggering of a genetic process…people seeing things in the sky, and various physical effects might even result.”
The Edge of Reality: A Progress Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee, Henry Regnery Company, Chicago, Illinois 60601, 1975.
.
ALTERNATE AND HIDDEN CIVILIZATIONS
Jacques Vallee was describing a very peculiar liminality to the social “chemistry” of the physical and parapsychological basis of the UFO phenomenon. That reality intimately permeated the intricate inner-structure of this unusual activity.
Researchers, such as Peter Levenda, said that a secret space program and society fit into this “mix” (Secret Space Program, Amsterdam International Conference, April 3, 2011). Very early in the 20th century, inventors and wealth entered a “matrix” of technology and mysticism beyond popular funds and resources into programs well advanced ahead of common knowledge.
The “Mystery Airship Phenomena” of the late 1890s are a case in point, and some researchers, such as Jim Marrs (Rule by Secrecy, Harper Collins Publisher, 2001. Our Occulted History, Harper Collins Publisher, 2013.) spoke about a salienttechnology that existed through the years beyondsurfaceculture, including inventors such as Jack Parsons (1936), the Nazi culture and science of the Third Reich, the Mysticism of the Nine (1952), Operation Paperclip, and much more.
Science-fiction writers such as Jules Verne (Robur the Conqueror) and H.G. Wells (The Shapeof Things to Come), as was so often true in fiction prophecy, seemed to visualize life that was about to become reality. Modern-day writers look back and see things as they might have been (Dawnof Steam: First Light Paperback by Jeffrey Cook and Sarah Symonds, 2014).
A list of theories and case histories have been gradually advancing along the lines that Jim Marrs and Jacques Vallee spoke of – Leonardo Da Vinci secrets, the Sonora Aero Club at the dawn of the century, and other mysterious industries. Sometimes referred to as the “Illuminati” (more recently as the Military-Industrial-Complex [and expanded by Steve Erdmann to the “Military-Industrial-Corporate-Complex-Matrix]), these True Believers adjoin this “elite” of a global and superior technology that would possibly explain the antics of the Men in Black. The activities included the strange UFO incidents and various political confluences that “swim under the radar.”
“The conspiracy is immense and terrifying, stretching from Hassan-i-Sabbah, 11th-century Assassin, to Ian Fleming (who caricatured the order as ‘SPECTRE’). It is the network of those who run networks. Given its power, you should assume that anyone writing about the order must be either lying or part of a conspiracy to confound you. In wondering about the Illuminati, merely remember this. You have never arrived. (Note the motto of the Assassins: ‘Nothing is true. Everything is permitted’).”
“We have to reevaluate the history of the world since 1945…we have to go back and look at it again,” said Levenda, “…break-away civilizations…about motivations, about how to create a space program for the rich and powerful…(who want to) jump-start evolution…(they try to create) companies based on fear.”

A Secret Space Program
“All serious magical rituals are a hidden advanced technology, concealed in a cipher now revealed. The Ultra terrestrials have been our teachers, puppet masters, body snatchers, lovers, and slave masters. Among us are Adepts who are in league with them, from the ancient priesthoods of light and darkness, to the Hidden Church of Light or Great White Brotherhood, and the Dark Lodges or the Black Lodge.”
Secret Rituals of the Men in Black, Allen H. Greenfield, 2005.
In 1815, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, two of England’s wealthiest lords place a high-stakes wager on whether a popular set of books, which claim that the author has traveled to many unknown corners of the globe, are truth or, more likely, wild fiction. First Light is an epistolary novel, told primarily through the eyes of former aide-de-camp Gregory Conan Watts, describing the journeys of the airship Dame Fortuna and its crew through journals and letters to his beloved fiancée. The first recruit is, necessarily, the airship’s owner: war hero, famed genius, and literal knight in steam-powered armor Sir James Coltrane.
For an event that the U.S Air Force, along with its parade of citizen critics, the crashes at Roswell never happened, there was enough high security intimidation, threats and hood- winking that was brazenly incongruous concerning witness stories about those crashed UFOs outside of Roswell, New Mexico on July 2, 1947.
“Moving quickly to kill the story, the U.S. government used a combination of appeal to patriotism, claims of ‘national security,’ bribery, threats of long prison sentences, and outright thuggery in the form of death threats to contain the story…Except in time of war or under conditions when Martial Law has been declared under the Constitution, the U.S. military has no direct authority over the civilian population. The military could keep its own house quiet (the men of the 509th Bomb Group stationed in Roswell and up the chain of command), but how to keep he civilians from exercising their God-given Bill of Rights – guaranteed freedom of speech?” (pp. 59-61)
On September 23, 1947, Lieutenant General Nathan F. Twining signed a secret memorandum, upon the Pentagon’s approval, that was sent to Brigadier General George Schulgen, chief of the Air Intelligence Requirements Division (AIRD), stating that the “phenomenon was real.”
Major General Laurence C. Craige, director of Research and Development in Washington, issued an order creating the first official U.S government investigation called ‘Project Saucer”—than designated Project Sign on January 22, 1948 as a branch of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) at Wright Patterson which housed all the UFO debris.
That same morning the “weather balloon” hoax/explanation was banner headlines across the nation. Military police, intelligence agents, and other American soldiers were searching every crevice of possible hiding places. The White House resembled a ‘war room.’
The original UFO debris was discovered by W.W. ‘Mack’ Brazel on the J.B. Foster ranch, and he was only the first citizen, in a long line of citizens, that became harassed. And whose “saucer fragments” eventually disappeared.

.
CONFISCATION AND THREATS
.
The Roswell/ Corona, New Mexico crashes were a two-prong monster: confiscation of fragments accompanied by threats to witnesses. Former Project Bluebook Director Captain Edward Ruppelt stated in his unrevised book Report on Unidentified Flying Objects in 1956: “By the end of July [1947] the UFO security lid was down tight. The few members of the press who did inquire about what the Air Force was doing got the same treatment that you would get today if you inquired about the number of thermonuclear weapons stockpiled in the U.S. Atomic Arsenal. At ATIC there was confusion to the ‘point of panic.’ (p. 45)
.
.
Mack Brazel not only discovered the original UFO debris on the J.B. Foster ranch on July 3, 1947, was also one of the ‘souvenir collectors,’ as he stuffed a piece in his saddlebag, light as balsa wood, resembling plastic but wasn’t, and couldn’t be marked with a pocket knife. His ‘collection” was kept in a cigar box, only to have them confiscated by the military in 1949. Air Force Captain Emerson Armstrong was accompanied by three non-commissioned officers (NCOs): “You have something we want, and you will give it to us,” Armstrong ordered.
.
.
While Brazel was contending with the military, his granddaughter Fawn Fritz witnessed soldiers ransacking their ranch house and cattle shed, cutting open fed bags to locate pieces of the UFO.
Jo Ann Purdie, daughter of J.B. Foster, told how her father also was threatened by the Army.
Wife Shirley Brazel told how husband Bill would exhibit one piece of wreckage at dinner time, showing its strange and indestructible qualities. Their home also was ransacked with an assurance that no fragments remained.
Charles Wood was one of the souvenir-finders, and on James Wood’s sixth birthday in 1952, was presented with a gift of a piece of a ‘weather balloon” that turned out to be indestructible “memory metal.”
James discovered the artifact could be used in a ‘magic act’ with a finale’ in which the artifact, rolled into a ball, would “unravel and softly float to the ground.” The magic act ended after ‘someone’ broke into James’s wooden shed and “whisked away the physical evidence of a flying saucer crash.” (p. 155)
Twelve-year-old schoolgirl in July 1947, Frankie Dwyer, whose father was crew chief with the Roswell Fire Department, visited her father at the fire station the day that patrolman Robert Scroggins stopped at the firehouse, presenting some foil-like material in his hand crumbled into a tight ball. Scroggins dropped the ball which silently formed out into a “perfectly smooth piece of paper-thin material in a matter of seconds.” Franke Dwyer said it had magic qualities and would “flow like water” each time it was crushed and then dropped.
A few days later, she and her mother, Mrs. Dwyer, were visited by a rather muscular, uniformed MP. He wanted to talk to ‘Frankie.’ The mother was escorted into another room. The soldier was well-aware of what this girl had seen. “You did not see anything,” he told her. “Do you understand? If you say anything, not only you will be killed, but we will come back for your family. There’s a big desert out there. No one will ever find you.” As he spoke, he slammed a Billy Club into an open palm.
The ominous figure was later determined to be Arthur Philben, a security officer with the 390th Air Service Squadron (ASS), a part of the Roswell Army Airfield’s 509th Bomb Group in 1947.
C.M Woodbury was a member of the 752nd Tank Battalion as well as a good friend of RAAF commander Colonel William H. ‘Butch’ Blanchard. Woodbury approached Dan Dwyer and Lee Reeves at the fire station about their surveying a crashed ‘egg-shaped vessel’ carrying small humanoids. “You are not to say another word about the crash,” Woodbury threatened.
.
CONTINUED THREATS
.
The public information officer (PIO) from Roswell Army Airfield, First Lieutenant Walter Haut (confessed to having seen the retrieved crashed craft), along with wife, ‘Pete,” described 30-years of threatening phone calls. They named one caller “the Norseman,” another “the Shadow.” Other victim-witnesses also said their lives were in jeopardy if they continued to talk about the incident.
.
Brigadier General George Schulgan, chief of the Air Intelligence Requirements Division
“The Phenomenon is Real”
.
Sergeant Lloyd Thompson of the RAAF 393RD Bomb Squadron, who accompanied the alien cargo abroad a B-29 out of Roswell to Forth Worth Army Airfield in Texas, was one of several participants who also had many years of harassment. There was a threat on an unlisted telephone number, which the FBI listed as also a death threat.
A 27-year-old female executive secretary at the RAAF military hospital in 1947, Miriam “Andrea” Bush, was corralled by her boss and hospital administrator, Lieutenant Colonel Harold M. Warne, to assist him in a hospital examination room where she observed several small bodies on gurneys. The event led to several heavy-handed threads that would put her in a state of dark paranoia. She was closely watched over the years, and she would express her fear and dread to her sister-in-law, Pat, and her sister, Jenny. She expressed this fear again in December 1989 to Patricia Bush that “someone was spying on her.”
Miriam registered into a motel in Fremont, California about 1989. She registered using her sister Jenny’s name and was unaccompanied. The coroner said she had wrapped a plastic bag around her head to suffocate herself—which is very uncharacteristic: “…there were fresh scratches and bruises all over her arms.”
Trinidad “Trini” Chavez was one in a group of boys that observed from a hill the military cleanup operation on the Foster ranch crash-site. Dan Richards kept a piece of the ‘‘memory metal” under a floorboard in a shed. Eventually, the military came and retrieved this artifact.
“Both ‘Trini’ and his father were warned, say the authors, “as were young Dan Richards and his parents to remain silent — or else!”
.
FLIGHT HAD NEVER HAPPENED
.
John G. Tiffany said that his father was stationed at the 509th Bomb Group in Roswell in 1947 and his father was commissioned to Texas to pick-up a large metallic cylinder that resembled a giant thermos bottle.
The object was off-loaded at Wright Field by trucks that soon departed, “…the flight was debriefed by a high-ranking official who told them the flight had never taken place.” (p. 102)
Even before the Roswell crashes in 1947, retired Colonel and later doctor, Randy Lovelace, helped establish the Lovelace Medical Foundation in 1947. The nurse said Lovelace was quickly dispatched to Roswell and stayed for a couple of days but “refused to comment” on what he knew other than “[it] … was a new species.”
Jesse Marcel, Sr., was called to a mysterious convention in Washington, D.C. Marcel, due to previous threats, went alone, but suspicious, along with ‘other witnesses.’ It was called the Conference of May 1990.
After the meeting Marcel went to a second at the Capitol Building and was introduced to a Dick D. ‘Amato, a staff member and senior senatorial counsel to Senator Robert C. Byrd.
“Roswell is true, but you know already know that,” D. ‘Amato said. “The problem: it’s buried deep within the black budget, and government funds have been spent since 1947 to keep that truth from coming out. Whenever someone gets too close to the truth, they are immediately discredited. All of the main witnesses remain on their radar scopes.”
.
PEPPERED WITH WITNESSES
.
The book is peppered with discovered episodes of persons directly or indirectly involved with the crashes of Roswell 1947.
Names such as Timothy ‘Dee’ Proctor, Pete and Mary Anaya, Arthur Farnsworth, sheriff George M. Wilcox, Barbara Duggar, Frankie Dwyer Rowe, Sergeant Melvin Brown, Dr. John Kromschroeder, Mary Ann Gandner, and scores of other Roswell witnesses will pass before the readers’ eyes in a panorama of 1947 events.
Typical was the story of Ralph A, Multer, a purple-heart recipient, who told about his UFO incident at the Timken Company of Canton, Ohio. His company had a metallurgical blast furnace of more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Multer told of a special cargo from New Mexico that arrived at the Timken plant in 1947, and the whole operation was overseen by the FBI. “Something had to break the material’s Molecular Code, and Timken could blast it in the furnace,” say the authors.
It was in 1990 that daughters Violet and Sundai spoke out about the “lightweight metallic, silver-grey material that Timken couldn’t dent, damage, or melt.”

(“Each book in my True Crime Files series has a central theme, although the human beings involved act out their own variations on each theme in ways that continue to amaze me…deals with love and what people will do for what they define as love…Many acts are committed in the name of love, and love can mean many things: caring, passion, sexual obsession, friendship, jealousy, companionship, ownership, loyalty, tenderness, and – for some people – cruelty and revenge…” In the Name of Love, Ann Rule, 1999, Pocket Star Books)
AMERICA: TO ITS KNEES!
Said Gary Allen in None Dare Call It Conspiracy: “If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite…If you wanted to control the nation’s manufacturing, commerce, finance, transportation and natural resources, you would need only to control the apex, the power pinnacle, of an all-powerful socialist government. Then you would have a monopoly and could squeeze out all your competitors. If you want – a worldwide monopoly, you must control a world socialist government. That is what the game is all about…Communism is an arm of a bigger conspiracy to control the world by power-mad billionaires (and) brilliant but ruthless academicians who have shown them how to use their power…” (Concord Press, 1971)
.
.
Allen described these “robber barons” that are willing to fix prices, rig markets, establish monopolies, buy politicians, exploit employees and fire them the day before they are eligible for pensions, but are also planning to rule the world and even use Communism “as the striking edge of their conspiracy.” That “striking edge” became Jack the Ripper in America on Wall Street in 2008 when monstrous greed and cunning Power brought America, indeed, the world to the brink of financial destruction. That vicious inclination to destroy and corrupt, however, had been manifested many times before, in all varieties of slavery, control, and prostitution’s over the centuries. One such victim has been the family unit which has been taken over by the Legal Industry for profit (much like Scrooge in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol novel); children held ransom as hostages! It is, furthermore, a legal industry that exists as the living viral cells that permeate our whole existence as an evil, controlling Brotherhood of maliciousness for capital gain.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY
“The decline of the American family has reached critical and truly dangerous proportions…The breakdown of the family now touches virtually every American. It is not only the major source of social instability in the government…the erosion of marriage, out-of-wedlock births, divorce, and fatherless children are now mainstream problems that threaten the general society.” (Taken Into Custody, Stephen Baskerville, Cumberland House, 2007)
“As we will see,” said Baskerville, “the astonishing but incontrovertible fact is that with the exception of convicted criminals, no group in our society today has fewer rights than fathers…parents summoned to these courts have entered a nightmare world where children are abducted and exploited and even abused by government order; where parents are forced to stay away from their children, prevented by the police from protecting them, incarcerated without charge or trial, and driven into bankruptcy and poverty, and where the Bill Of Rights may as well not exist.”
He continued: “Far from merely exploiting family breakdown after the fact then, domestic relations law has turned the American family into a game of ‘prisoners’ dilemma…willingly or not, all parents are now prisoners in this game…In short, state officials now possess the power to break up families by imposing divorce on happily married parents…Harsh as it may sound, it cannot be denied that these officials are united by one overriding interest; having children separated from their parents. Without the power to remove children from their parent – and most often the father – this industry cannot thrive, and these officials will have no business…put simply, the first principle of the divorce industry, the basic premise without which it has no reason to exist, is the removal of the fathers from the family. Once this is accomplished, the state is free to assume control over mothers and children as well.”
Baskerville quoted Rabbi Lapin in The American Enterprise in Lapin’s quoting of Adolf Hitler: Hitler said, “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasury of the people. As long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty.”
Comparing Child Support enforcement to institutionalized Marxist principles (“from each according to his ability, to each according to her need….”), Baskerville said child support has nothing to do with “justice” but is interwoven in a long panoply of unusual punishments and punitive measures in a regime were the father is forced “to finance the filching of his own children,” becoming the subject of a national demonology as officially designated villains whose “guilt is assumed unquestionably by politicians, press, and public alike…Not since the collapse of the Weimar republic have the top leaders of a major western democracy used their public office to verbally attack millions of their own citizens.” As an example of ‘Soviet Logic,’ Ronald Henry said that coerced child support is not predicated on uniting children with Fathers but keeping them apart: “…despite the touchy-feely language about family and stability and relationship, such decisions have nothing to do ‘with enforcing anything other than financial obligations.’”
Walter Olson wrote in The Litigation Explosion: “Lawyers have more power to ruin your life in America than they do in any other advanced country…..power without responsibility.” “The legal system is increasingly run for the enrichment of lawyers and not the public,” wrote columnist Robert Samuelson. “The idea that American courtrooms strive toward justice is no long taken seriously…the courts are greatly feared for their ability to ruin…” said the Wall StreetJournal.
Family law today is the largest and fastest-growing sector of the civil judiciary, accounting for at least 35 percent of all litigation. It is estimated that, as a percentage of the state cases filed between 1984 and 1995, family cases grew by 70 percent. Much of this growth is self-generated. “Child-support enforcement is now a $4 billion national industry in terms of the money expended,” said Baskerville, “in terms of the money it aims to collect, it is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise with targets upward of $100 billion.”
WE TOO ARE HUMAN
(“Surely, if we have learned nothing else, this war has taught us pity – pity for those witless souls that suffer our domination,” H.G. Wells speaking of the war in his time and comparing it to the Martians that attacked and almost destroyed the earth in his story The War of the Worlds)
Some 24 million American children or about 34 per cent live in households without their fathers. For African American children that figure is 66 percent. Nearly 2.5 million children join the ranks of the fatherless each year. Since automatic wage garnishing has been mandatory for all new child-support orders since 1992, the question aroused as to how so many fathers allegedly avoid their payments. The principal method was by being unemployed. Sherri Heller, OCSE Director, said that about two-thirds of the debt and about two-thirds of the people who owe it earned less than $10,000 last year. It appeared that extremely poor debtors owe most of the debt.

Most men and parents are generally warm, caring, kind people who see the more elitist and aristocratic areas and people of society as the truly evil elements. The real witches cackling about the cauldron may be closer to home and even more deeply implanted. Concerning the “common poor person” (and I am one of them, by the way), as paraphrasing John F. Kennedy: “We breathe the same air; have blood in our bodies as well as the next human, a beating heart, and the pains and hopes that all other humans do.” They have feelings of love, passion, fear, and hunger as other life forms that we call “human beings.”

“As least as a federal prosecutor for 10 years under nine different U.S. attorneys in three districts across the country, I was taught, and I taught others, that if you don’t have a solid case, don’t turn somebody’s life upside down and literally ruin their lives and that of their families just because you want to try to notch your belt with somebody’s scalp or get your name in the newspaper or whatever,” Powell said.
Irena Scott and Bill Jones are two of the few ufologists that worked for the Defense Department and also the Battelle Company, and had security clearances allowing attendance on the Wright Patterson Air Base (WPAFB), the inner sanctum of numerous rumors about alien artifacts and stored alien bodies. Scott and Jones attempt to shed light on some of these mysteries with their own research and intimate contacts with WPAFB and other sources.
“They cover the inside story of Blue Book and detail its turning point, demise and examine how this occurred,” says Scott. “It delves deeply into the many mysteries associated with it. For example, it explores who the people that did the actual research on SR-14…we not only have found many such smoking guns, but unlike many, we can document these finding. We have also found much chicanery, fudging, lying and other ways to misrepresent UFO phenomenon.” (pp. 256-257)
Dr. Irena McCammon Scott, PhD, has worked for the Dense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Battelle Memorial Institute, and the Aerospace Center in satellite photography. Scott has received Top-Secret security clearances and was stationed at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB).

Multiple researchers, such as Anthony Bragelia, Thomas Carey and Donald Schmitt (Inside the Real Area51), Robert Collins (Exempt from Disclosure), and Irena Scott and Bill Jones, have focused on the mysterious vaults, subterranean tunnels that are suspected to exist throughout WPAFB.
The following are some summations of their findings:
WPAFB, originally called Wright Field (WF), is often referred to as another Area 51 because of its “High Security.”
Area A contains what was called Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) in the past; it housed the official studies which included Northwestern University Astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek.
The legendary and largely mythical Hanger 18 was, in effect, actually a group of hangers near runways in Area B, collectively called Building 4 A-E; Hanger 18 would be 4-B.
Specially created crates were transported in a B-29 Transport and unloaded in the hangers right off the old WF runway.
Debris and bodies were unloaded in the WP Area B, which contained the Avionics Laboratory and Building 18 known presently as the Aero Propulsion Lab (previously designated as Hanger 18), but in actuality a complex of buildings A,B,C onto G, as Buildings 18-18G housing the Power Plant Laboratory Complex.
One of the Building 18 structures connects to a Building 23 that is either the Aero Propulsion Lab or the Power Plant Laboratory Complex called Buildings 18 A-D with one of the Buildings actually called Hanger 23 and now called AF Research Laboratory-Sensor-Directorate-Target-Signature Branch. Building 18-F on the east side of Building 23 is rumored to have contained cold storage with refrigeration equipment on the eastern half with connection to a power plant transformer.

LOOK, BOSS, IT’S A VAULT, A VAULT
(Mimicking Tattoo on the Television Series Fantasy Island)
.
The aforementioned researchers also take us on a written journey of WPAFB and the suggested underground “vaults.”
Robert Collins talked about an “underground, massive” structure called the T-Building at the Mound Nuclear Plant at Dayton, Ohio near WP (Exempt from Disclosure).
Carey, Schmitt and the late Stanton Friedman said that the WP Nuclear Test Facility and the Avionics Building had such vaults (also called Building 620, connecting with Building 739). They told us that there is a north entrance on the west side of the building an Avionics Tower.
Double vaulted doors in Building 620 led to a second set of vaulted doors and freight-sized elevators and stairs with a tunnel to a major vault under the north parking lot of 620 (Robert Collins and Richard Doty).
Robert Collins reported that one such vault is where Building 739 connects with Building 620 behind thick glass door and a six-inch-thick Bank Vault door. Building 450, the Flight DynamicsLab, had a second basement and a tunnel going in the direction of Building 30, connecting by a small vault to Building 29 as a VIP viewing section.
Our list of researchers was well-aware of the “infamous Blue Room,” described as an “Inner Sanctum.” Researchers Leonard Stringfield was told by an informant that the mysterious “museum” containing crashed saucer “artifacts,” and even “cadavers” retrieved from Roswell, was in a converted “blue” aircraft hangar adjoined with a “small locked room” with “large aquariums each containing a small body with grey skin, over-sized cranium, huge eyes, and no hair.” (p. 31)
.
Researcher Leonard Stringfield
.
This building complex housed the AMC headquarters, the Technical Intelligence Division of the AMC at WF with Project Sign in 1948 (then called ATIC), it held Project Blue Book before it became the FTDbuilding; eventually it became the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).
In 1959, the Air Force renamed ATIC the Aerospace Technical Intelligence Center, and in 1961 the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was established.
Lieutenant Colonel Hector Quintanilla, the last BB director, said that BB was completely separate from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Dense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
According to researchers Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt, John G. Tiffany spoke about his father who had worked at WF and who had been dispatched to retrieve the Roswell materials and perhaps space alien bodies at Fort Worth. “Tiffany claimed his father picked up metallic debris and a large cylinder,” says Scott, “that reminded his father of a huge thermos bottle.”
In WITNESS TO ROSWELL, authors Carey and Schmitt mentioned that Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Exon, who was stationed at WF in 1947, came out and said that “Roswell had been the crash site of a spacecraft and that alien bodies were recovered,” but Exon was never interviewed until December 1994.
“He said he also had flown over the area of the crash several months later,” says Scott. “He said he observed two distinct crash sites and gouges in the ‘pivotal areas.’”
Exon also spoke about a “UFO controlling committee,” says Scott, “made up chiefly of very high-ranking military officers and intelligence people. His nickname for these people was the ‘The Unholy Thirteen.’”
Battelle, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, was also involved in examining “Roswell and other debris.” It had its own research facilities, and also helped manage many of the atomic discoveries at national laboratories of the U.S Department of Energy, as well as the Livermore, Oak Ridge, and Brookhaven National Laboratories.
Battelle has had a long association with UFO phenomena as when UFO debris was sent to WP and other agencies. “Battelle had some of the world’s best metallurgists and if anyone,” says Scott, “were an authority on metal it would be found here.”
Blue Book and Battelle did an extensive study of UFO phenomena, a “massive statistical analysis” in a report SR-14, and “the most significant collection of evidence that UFO phenomena represent something real.”
.
THE MJ-12 FIASCO AND OTHER
MJ-12 is the legendary “code name” of an alleged special committee of scientists, military leaders and other officials created by executive order of President Harry S. Truman in 1947 to investigate hard UFO evidence and various aftermath Roswell scenarios. The committee has also been called MJ-12, MJ-XII,Majority 12, Majic 12, Majestic Trust, M12, but the general consensus was that the story was a hoax or a disinformation campaign (as it is usually told) on the part of the U.S military or intelligence.
However, there is a suspicion that this legend had a basis in fact, such as Arthur Exon’s reference to a “UFO controlling committee” such as the “Unholy Thirteen.”
Scott refers to such “secret studies” that may have also been part of clandestine operations as mentioned in the book FORBIDDEN SCIENCE (p. 304) involving the McDonald-Douglas Company, and the Astropower Company: “This indicates that a secret UFO study had continued in Washington.”
Similarly, a CIA-FOIA 2-9-55 spoke of Dr. H. Marshall Chadwell, CIA Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, that revealed a CIA “consulting group” that seemed to indicate an organization that existed across the Eisenhower Military-Industrial-Complex (p. 191).
Further insight was gained by Jennie Zeidman and Mark Rodegheir’s article “The Pentacle Letter and theBattelle UFO Project”:
“In the epilogue to FORBIDDEN SCIENCE, Vallee calls the Pentacle Letter an ‘intellectual scandal.’ He believes that science was betrayed when the Robertson Panel, meeting in January 1953, was barred from access to the research of Pentacle and his group. This panel’s recommendation was responsible for down-grading of BB and the demise of any serious overt government interest in the UFO phenomena after 1953.” (p. 57)
The Pentacle Memorandum was a classified, secret letter dated January 9, 1953 addressed to Miles E. Goll at WPAFB as acting chief of the Analysis Division of T-2. Jacques Vallee believed that the memo alerted that “a secret project did indeed exist above and beyond Project Blue Book.” Top people including the head of Battelle signed it, with Clyde Williams (who was the head of Battelle) making positive statements about the study.
“Having worked for the government,” says Scott, “I have noticed that this is a normal way to hide something. Put someone who knows nothing about it in charge, or convene a panel of big wigs that do not understand anything about the subject they are addressing. This is how the government can bring about the results they want and convince the public of things that are wrong.” (p. 69)
Irena Scott and Bill Jones discover that UFO material had been studied at Battelle and other sites.
Noted Battelle personnel favored the study of the UFO phenomena and materials, as selected by Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt who headed BB: Clyde Williams, Linus Pauling, Vannevar Bush, Major General Curtis E. Lemay, James Bryant Conant, and Donald Douglas (President of the Douglas Aircraft Company.
John Center, a Battelle metallurgist, said he had worked on alien material at Battelle. Elroy John Center had told researches that “he was responsible for a project that required him to study ‘parts’ that were represented as retrieved from a flying saucer…was taken to a large forge in New Mexico where they attempted to break it and melt it. They failed…” (p. 97)
In May of 1992, the authors found a former Battelle employee who had dated Center’s daughter, Kathy, and they learned that Elroy Center had studies material from a “flying saucer” with writing on I-beams.
Center’s work concerned new techniques in the micro-analysis of new titanium alloys. The employee, “Nick” Nicholson, told researcher Anthony Bragalia that “Center told…him that UFO crash debris was stored in a secure safe and that some of the material contained the element boron.”
Metallurgist Howard Cross also worked at Battelle and knew Center; Cross was a chief titanium metallurgist and was the “point person” in Battelle’s UFO studies for BB in the 1950s. Other possible scientists connected to UFO metallurgical studies were Arthur Westerman, Gustavus (Gus) Simpson, Robert Livingston, and A.C. Eckert.
Anthony Bragalia said that these scientists did “hands-on” studies of UFO materials that resulted in an invented material called “nitinol,” a “memory metal” of nickel and titanium of very light weight, having a “high fatigue strength,” able to withstand extreme heat and “remembers” its original shape: none of these metal attributes, however, duplicated the rather supernatural and bizarre characteristics of the original Roswell debris.
Scott had been told that scientists Vernon W. Ellzey delivered some of the UFO debris from WP to Dr. Allen Hynek. Ellzey later committed suicide. Ellzey may have written the first draft of the Pentacle Memo.
.
ADDITIONAL DEBRIS STUDIES
.
The Vanadium Corporation of America (now called Shield Alloy) was involved in the metallurgical analysis of the UFO debris in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Metallurgical supervisor at Vanadium, Robert Orndoff, mentioned the material as being Roswell-like, but as if scooped-up from a “gouge” explosion, and was a “shiny, clean and can change shape.” The material, according to Orndoff as told to his son, contained silicon, magnesium, cobalt, chromium, aluminum, steel, nickel, vanadium and titanium—“at that time people may not have combined that many materials into one alloy.” (p. 182)
A Summary Technical Report of Division 18 document seemed to indicate that the Vanadium Corporation, U.S Steel, and the Battelle Memorial Institute investigated the properties of nickel and titanium, resulting in “nitinol.” Some of the same scientists seem to have been involved: C.B. Voldrich, P.J. Rieppal, Dr. H.W. Gilliet, C.H. Lorig, Clyde Williams, Vannevar Bush, and James B. Conant.
In the summer of 1947, truck drivers for Timken Roller Bearing Company in Canton, Ohio, told of helping to being three trucks of strange “brushed aluminum material” to be melted by the new Timken furnace, which, was unable to melt the metal. The whole operation was supervised by men claiming to be from the FBI.
.
THE PENTACLE MEMO, SR-14, AND THE ROBERTSON PANEL
.
Ufologist Jacques Vallee in his 1992 book FORBIDDEN SCIENCE disclosed the Pentacle Memorandum or Letter. The letter is dated January 9, 1953 and is addressed as a secret document to Miles E. Goll at Wright-Patterson AFB on behalf of Captain Edward J. Ruppelt of BB and acting chief of the Analysis Division of T-2 at WPAFB. Signed by six major scientists and Battelle metallurgists, the memo recommended larger scientific studies and jet aircraft “scrambles” when needed.
Project Bluebook Special Report No. 14 (SR-14) was the “best done of all UFO studies and it produced very strong and powerful positive results…I appreciate the meaning of the statistics that were used in SR-14. It would make one’s hair stand on end…SR-14 is a report that would curl one’s toenails – that a person would be unlikely to read even with a gun to the head.” (pp. 82-83)
The study used sophisticated Chi Square tests in which p-value that reflect the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis, and “that there is substantial evidence that the objects are something different than earth’s normally observed air traffic (less than 1 chance out of a 100).” (p. 83) The study concluded that “less than one chance out of a billion is what SR-14 gave us against the possibility that good UFO sightings represent conventional objects…a very well done credible study that very strongly showed that UFO phenomena exist.” (p. 63)
The infamous “Robertson Panel” was commissioned by the CIA in 1952, before the conclusions of SR-14 on May 5, 1955, and was composed of personnel skeptical of UFO reports and knowing nothing about UFO phenomenon, and was “…done by the CIA to close off the UFO study.” (pp. 69-71)
The same could be said of the 1969 University Of Colorado Scientific Study Of Unidentified FlyingObjects Condon Report. “…revealed that UFOs were significant phenomena worthy of study, but the published conclusion was that nothing significant was found.” (pp. 71-72)
.
STRANGE CENSORSHIP EXISTED
.
Government UFO studies also went by several other special names: Project Sign, Project Saucer, White Stork, Golden Eagle, Project Bear, The Pentacle Letter or Memorandum, the “Unholy Thirteen” (Exon), Project Blue Book, Project Grudge, and the 1948 Estimate of the Situation.
Scott recalls and summarizes her own experiences with censorship and other “heavy-handed” government actions while she worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), with the eye of the CIA, to debunk good photographic evidence (pp. 198-208).
“I also think this obstruction to the report of our DIA section, apparently came from the CIA,” says Scott. “It was obvious that some high-ranking portion of the government was involved.” (p. 203) “This inside-the-DIA-experience certainly made me think that the government was involved to cover-up activities. In fact, it even made me slightly wonder if aliens were running the government.” (p. 201)
Scott has a large collection of photographs of various mentioned sites at WPAFB as well as photos and diary notes from the personal files of the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek showing private letters and comments. Scott does her best to give added insight into Hynek and why he, possibly, was hoodwinked by the Silence Group.
Irena Scott covered several major UFO incidents: the April 17, 1966 Ohio “UFO chase,” the March, 1966 “Swamp Gas” UFO case, the 1973 Coyne UFO helicopter event, the October 11, 1973 Pascagoula Abduction, and others.
“But BB is still filled with many mysteries,” says Scott. “And we still know nothing about major questions: why do the cover-ups exist? And what are the UFOs?’ (P. 257)
Some said he was crude. Some said he was crazy. Some even said he was a prophet like Daniel or Ezekiel of the Bible. Others labeled him a phony or even an anarchist bent on exposing the government. Whatever people said about him, for one thing sure, he was a patriot for his country, America:
“(Milton William) ‘Bill’ Cooper was a conspiracy salesman as sure as Willy Loman carried a battered suit case. Perpetually hard-up for money, in many ways he recalls the mythic figure in the green visor who sits in an office at the end of long, narrow corridor feverishly typing out every dirty joke you ever head, ten dollars a punch line. A.P.T Barnum of dread, Cooper lived by the darkening edge of his conspiracy stories and his capacity to find an audience will to hear and believed them. It was an ethic he practiced until the night of his death.” (p. 31,PALE HORSE RIDER, italics and emphasis added.)
“If there ever was an American dream, this was it. Yet, like most American dreams, it was doomed. That was because Mystery Babylon, or whatever other force, had invented an alternative world that stole the authority for the Creator and created a society of men, imperfect humans, infected with ego and every other deadly sin. In short, fatally flawed people like Bill Cooper.” (ibid, p.347, italics and emphasis added.)
(PALE HORSE RIDER: WILLIAM COOPER, THE RISE OF CONSPIRACY, AND THE FALL OF TRUST IN AMERICA, Mark Jacobson, Blue Rider Press, Penguin Random House, LLC, 375 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10012, 2018, 375 pages, $24.30.)
Thus is some groundwork built by veteran author Mark Jacobson concerning the magical and tragic life of Milton William (Bill) Cooper, May 6, 1943 – November 6, 2001. These consisted of Cooper’s encounters with what he termed Mystery Babylon; others would later call it the Military-Industrial-Complex and the Deep State, but it all, says Jacobson, was outgrowth of global controlling Mystery Religions such as “Brotherhood of the Snake, Order of the Quest, the Roshsniya, the Qabalah, the Knights of Templar, the Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, the Jesuits, the Masons, the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rome Crucis, the Illuminati, the Nazi Party, the Communist Party, the Executive Members of the Council on Foreign Relation, The Group, the Open Friendly Secret Society, the Vatican, the Russell Trust, the Skull and Bones, the Scroll-Key, and many others (p. 123).
Many of these societies, says Jacobson, were beholden to the blue bloods of Wall Street…ꞌꞌbut whether they know it or not, they all could race their origin to the Brotherhood of the Snake.” Jacobson continues to quote:
“This was the way of the world, except the controllers of the New World Oder had turned Hegel’s dialectic on its head, Cooper said. ‘They determined the synthesis first, what they want and then create the two forces to oppose each other, so they knew what they have to do to bring about that synthesis, while everyone thinks it all happened by accident.’”
Cooper’s stent in the military likewise taught him much about this Hidden World. There was Admiral Bernard A. Clary’s Top Secret file that Cooper had a “Top Secret, Q” clearance to which Cooper had access. Clarey was Chief of the U.S. pacific Fleet.
“Everything about the war was in there…one by one the scales dropped from Cooper’s eyes. He was not the defender of freedom he had so longed to be but, rather, cannon fodder in a hue knew things, terrible, dangerous secrets, hidden information that could change everything, even save the world from itself…For sixteen years, Cooper had not revealed what he’d seen while poking through Admiral Clary’s cabinet. It hadn’t been easy. Knowing what he wasn’t supposed to know had turned his life into a living hell, made him drink, and sent him in rages.” (pp. 48, 52, 61, 79)
UFOs were other big events in Cooper’s life, like what he and the crew of the sub USS Tiru saw in 1966: a huge metal craft larger than a football field that descended from the sky into the ocean amid giant gushers of water. It rose from the water and accelerated to beyond the horizon. The object did not disturb the sub’s electrical system or the gyro compass. It was saucer-shaped and had windows around the perimeter. It made no noise.
Jacobson quotes Cooper: “There was no doubt as to what we had seen. It was a metal craft, with machinery on and around the outside of it.” (p.76)
It was enough to convince Cooper he could be dealing with space aliens. He heard fantastic stories of UFOs in the Vietnam DMZ when in the military. But his viewpoint changed in late 1989. He suddenly saw UFOs as earthly-military-psy-ops.
“The presence of UFOs from outer space was one more fear tactic,” says Jacobson, “a trick to get a freighted public in line behind a one world totalitarian government. The most infuriating aspect of the subterfuge, Cooper reportedly admitted, was that he had fallen for it.”
It was an age of deception that abounded. As Cooper had said, you couldn’t trust everything you read. You had to do your own research to find the nuggets of truth. A case in point was the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion, which many people were convinced that it was a hoax by Pierre Plantard. Report from Iron Mountain was another hoax (but had disguised seeds of truth) invented by Victor Navasky, Marvin Kitman and Leonard Lewis. There was no such thing as pure theories, all carried seeds of error; Cooper said to investigate on your own and with caution. It was also called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars or psy-ops (p.115). Shock Tests were the realization of the Red and Blue pills of Matrix movies, mentioned by Cooper, and in effect in accordance with Hartford Van Dyke, “a form of modern technological alchemy that predicted gold for a few, dross for everyone else.” (p. 119)
.
BLACK CADILLACS
.
Cooper left the Navy and ended his military career about April 1975. Shortly following that time, Cooper was riding his motorcycle on Skyline Boulevard near Berkeley Hills in the Bay Area when he was closely followed by a black Cadillac which knocked Cooper’s motorcycle hurtling him end over throwing Cooper to the bottom of an incline. Two men climbed down to look at him, one of them feeling his carotid saying that Cooper will one day be dead. In a second chase by the same “limo,” this time Cooper’s right leg was severely mangled and was replaced by a prosthetic.
Jacobson tells that while Cooper was in the hospital, two men visited Cooper, interrogating him as to if he would “shut up” or the “next time should be fatal.” Cooper crossed his fingers and said he’d behave, but silently swore otherwise (p. 52).
To rightfully understand domination, you had to see it as the Secret Government did, a self-sustaining system called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars (SWFQW): “The Illuminati’s declaration of War upon the People of America.” (p.115)
The psy-ops involved was like a “deployed time-release capsule at modulated speeds and patterns” as “encroachment on their lives,” controlled situations in a “constant barrage” of “Shock tests” similar to the Red and Blue pills depicted in the movie THE MATRIX: mass suicidal engineering on the part of the New World Order, quoting Cooper, “an ages-old underground current informs of the modern project in this modern era; life in our modern era is little more than life in an open-air mind-control laboratory.” (pp. 117-118)
The bedrock to this global Monster is identified through a network of hidden Secret Societies that create a “web” of Higher Mysteries down through the ages dating back to ancient Babylon spread universally amongst the Brotherhood of the Snake, the Qabalah, the Knights Templar, the Illuminati and about twenty or more others (p. 123).
It became a stratagem using Wilhelm Fredrick Hegel’s Hegelian dialectic: Status quo, the thesis, the antithesis, and the synthesis—a new standard of truth. That series of events could be climatic, however. Bill Cooper could plainly see them as they developed; maybe more like a Biblical prophet than a theoretician in some cases.
Jacobson writes: “Manifested in bogus divide-and-conquer dichotomies like Democrats and Republicans, manipulation of the Hegelian dialectic was the main tool of the Secret Government…like a snake shedding is skin, the New World Order established in 1947 would soon be replaced by another.” (p, 125)
.
RIDING THE PALE HORSE
.
Cooper’s greatest career was THE HOUR OF THE TIME radio broadcast on WWCR, which began on January 4, 1993, exposing the many facets of Mystery Babylon.
“If ‘Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars’ exposed the contemporary blueprint for the Illuminati takeover of the planet, Mystery Babylon,” says Jacobson “went far deeper, tracing the ontology of the organization back to its origins.”
Cooper saw the hidden meaning and origin of mankind also in the Stanley Kubrick production of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The movie was clandestinely “far the Initiates and the Adepts of the ancient religion, those who could understand the ‘symbology’ of the ‘Mystery Schools.’’’ (p. 144)
In Cooper’s The Sacrificial King, Cooper showed how Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas was an important puzzle piece, not only in the Kennedy assassination, but seeing Dallas as a piece of esoterica at work (Disneyland, the ancient city of Babylon, the 33rd degree of latitude where multiple Fortean events happen) — the Plaza itself was named for newspaperman George Bannerman Dealey, a 33rd-degree Mason: phenomena called by C.G Jung as synchronicities and meaningful coincidences.
Fellow conspiratologist and competitor Robert Anton Wilson rode his own pale horse, much like Cooper, opening a “door to Chapel Perilous” in a realm of experience that “cannot be located in the space-time continuum,” writes Jacobson, “it is weightless, odorless, tasteless and undetectable by ordinary instruments.” (p. 161)
Robert Anton Wilson wrote Cosmic Trigger and his Illuminatus! books.
Rapper Killah Priest sometime in 2004 and 2005 renamed rapper Andrew Kissel (a Newark, New Jersey MC performer) as “William Cooper.” Priest was working with Black Market Militia, a Wu-Tang Clan satellite group, Timbo King Razah, A 60 Second Assassin and other entertainers that came to read the original Bill Cooper’s BEHOLD A HORSE and heard The Hour of the Time radio show, causing Killah Priest, says Jacobson, to exclaim: “He was a patriot, which I like,” quoting Kissel, “because I am a patriot. I am a proud American. This country was supposed to have been built to question authority, to hold the people in power accountable. Not to bite your tongue. Just to put it out there, right or wrong, let everyone else decide.” (p. 193)
In August 1994, Bill Cooper heard that black people were reading BEHOLD A PALE HORSE. Fellow conspiracy theorist, film-maker and record producer Anthony J. Hilder informed Cooper that blacks who read BEHOLD A PALE HORSE began to see the “system” as the enemy: ‘“ …white men, particular white men__the same white men who were the enemy of all people, black or white,’’’ Jacobson quotes Hilder, ‘‘‘the news couldn’t get any bigger than that.’’’ (p. 203)
On February 28, 1994, a military convoy of SWAT members half-mile-long was heading for Mount Carmel Center, Branch Davidian Compound, where about 168 people would be attacked.
“That was the beginning of the fifty-one-day siege of Waco,” says Jacobson, “an event that for many, Bill Cooper included, would signal a state of war between the American government and its people.”
Despite what infractions the government used to defend the massacre, Cooper said that reasoning was flawed. “But anyone who bothered to do the research knew that this attack was a long chain of events,” says Jacobson, “with roots that stretched back centuries…Cooper told the audience…You could never understand the present unless you knew the past.” (p. 212)
Randy Weaver and family considered themselves one of those “survivalists, homeschoolers, tax protesters, ‘sovereign citizens,’” protesters that recited Mark 13:14 and stand separated from an evil government. In 1989, Randy sold some illegally modified shotguns to BATF informer Ken Fadeley. To get a lesser conviction, they asked Weaver to be a “government snitch,” which Weaver refused to do. The Weavers took refuge on Ruby Ridge.
Surrounded by five hundred federal government agents, many without insignias and in camouflaged dress, firing at the Weaver’s dogs who alerted about the trespassers, fourteen-year-old Samuel Waver was also shot with a bullet that ripped his arm from it socket. FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot Vicki Weaver “right between the eyes” as she held her “eight-month-old baby in her arms.” A helicopter attempted to “drop a fuel bladder” on the cabin to burn down everything.
“And what had Randy Weaver done to deserve such treatment?” asks Jacobson. “He’d sold a gun that was too short. That was a misdemeanor as far as he knew.” (p. 213)
.
FROM MURRAH TO 9/11
.
On April 19, 1993, the theory went, Tom McVeigh drove a Ryder rental truck with two and a half tons of ammonium nitrate drenched in diesel fuel and exploded it in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.
There were reports of “two separate explosions” involved, but that was pooh-poohed by authorities, and McVeigh was denoted as culprit number one.
“They sent out McVeigh, one more perfect human zombie in as a seemingly assembly line of them, to do their bidding,” says Jacobson. “…who know how many would die in the next ‘terrorist attack’? (p. 257)
Such “ploys” were used in the September 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers, says Jacobson, and Cooper made it plain in a June 28, 2001 broadcast of his The Hour of the Times. He ridiculed the CNN broadcast and story of finding culprit Osama bin Laden in his hideout.
“The fact was, Cooper told the audience, no one in the U.S intelligence services was really looking for Osama bin Laden,” says Jacobson. “They knew where he was. They had since the beginning of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Bin Laden, along with his entire family, was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Central Intelligence Agency.”
‘“Something terrible is going to happen in this country,”’ Jacobson quotes Cooper, ‘“And whatever is going to happen__they’re going to blame on Osama bin Laden. Don’t you even believe it.”’
That “something” happened two and half months later on September 11, 2001 when two commercial airline flew into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center killing 2,996 people, including 343 New York City Fire Department personnel.
Cooper’s writing and broadcasting career was pretty well personified as Para-politics where Cooper saw evil monsters, says Jacobson, where the land of the Free and the Home of the Brave was under assault. Cooper spent his whole life fighting the enemies of freedom, he fought those in Vietnam, and he fought those as evil plutocrats in secret religions gong back of the beginning of history.
In his circle of friends and broadcast listeners there existed a segment of separatist militias and income tax “evaders,” in which Cooper officially joined the ranks of “tax protesters’ announced in a HOTT broadcast #28 on February 28, 1993.
Jacobson summarizes: “No, Cooper said, paying income tax was voluntary because the law said so. It was as simple as that…the phases ‘voluntary’ and ‘may enter’ carried the legal significance.”
“Cooper Hill” became a heavily-guarded fortress of sorts and Cooper would regularly protest any trespassers on his property. Cooper gave out a July 6, 1998 warning from his website against trespassers. On June 29, 1998, the FBI opened a file on Cooper.
Some of the so-called trespassers were the family of Dr. Scott Reynolds Hamblin, who visited “the Hill” (once called R.V Hill in their youth for bike driving). Hamblin also claimed to have property somewhere on the hill. Cooper saw him as an intruder and actually made threats, he also visualized himself as an official Neighborhood Watch member. The Hamblin’s, however, were no ordinary family, their ancestors had a long past history as legends to historical Mormon militias. The Hamblin’s filed a complaint to the Apache County Sheriff’s Office.
Cooper’s emotional health was far from perfect, having been diagnosed with a form of PTSD from his military service, perhaps one reason for his angry outbursts. Nine marriages later, Annie Cooper, worn thin by government warrants for Bill’s arrest, left in spring, 1999 with daughters Poo and Allyson, stranding Cooper on the hill. Even a short reunion with his daughter Jessica was suffocated when agents tried to entice her to “entrap” her father. In the end, all that Cooper had left was his adherence to his private code “not to give up.”
Jacobson quotes Cooper’s “A Public Notice” of July 6, 1998: “Therefor, a state of war exists between the citizens of the Union States and the corporate United States. We will be free under the Congressional Republican government guaranteed to us by the organic Constitution for the United States of America or we will be dead.” (p. 279)
.
COOPER’S LAST STAND
.
A Special Response Team planned a sabotage-style entrapment and arrest for November 5, 2001. They were to trick Cooper to come out of his home to investigate their deliberate pretext of being noisy trespassers. Decoy agents were hidden undercover in a truck; they then would come forth to arrest Cooper.
Unexpectedly, Cooper approached them in his truck instead of on foot; he shouted a warning to them:
“I’m calling the cops, I’m going to give you ten minutes to be off the property, or the cops are going to be here.”
The scene changed suddenly. Cooper attempted to drive back to his house to make the phone call as Commander Andrew Tafoya chased Cooper’s truck and the agents followed in the UC pickup. The “Tac Van” blocked Cooper’s path. Sergeant Charles Brown aimed his M4 submachine gun at Cooper’s truck. Sheriff Brian Hounshell did the same with his combat AR-15. Brown attempted to knock Cooper’s hands off the gearshift. Cooper threw Brown on his butt, but the truck went crashing into the storm-swept rocky terrain forcing Cooper to run on foot for his house. Deputies Joseph Allen Goldsmith and Robert Marinez, according to Jacobson, raced to stop Cooper who reached to his pistol and fired four defensive shots, one paralyzing Marinez. Goldsmith kept firing until Cooper fell died, exactly as he prophesied – on his doorstep (pp. 328-332).
The agents shot Cooper’s watchdog, Crusher, though the dog was securely chained to a truck.
“The most recent high-profile addition to the Cooper Canon are the posting of ‘Q Anon,’ a reputed government insider who claim to have access to classified information on the on-going attempt of the so-called Deep State to overthrow the Trump administration,” announces Jacobson. “In February, 2018, ‘Q,’ as he is known to the followers of his ‘Intel drops,” wrote of his deep admiration for Cooper and his work. Sales of BEHOLD A PALE HORSE immediately spiked, landing the twenty-seven-year-old book at number 17 on the Amazon bestseller list” (p. 357).
Since Cooper’s death, says Jacobson, Mystery Babylon was still determined to undermine the United States while bolstering the New World Order that was unmasked in 9/11, the Second Iraq War, the 2008 financial debacle and collapse, the “divisive elections” of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and he political split of National powers (p. 342).
“With each tweak of the Hegelian Dialectic, the audacious dream of the American Republic,” says Jacobson, “laid out by the Founding Fathers in the Consultation, grew dimmer.”
“In spite of all the danger, in spite of all that may be, I’ll do anything for you, anything you want me to be….” In Spite Of All the Danger, the Beatles, 1958.
“People are eliminated. Honey, you don’t know how many people are just eliminated, just on the operating table alone. They just need to be disposed of. And don’t ever believe what you read in the papers. It’s all made up.” (Joe Shimon, a professional assassin and deep cover operative, speaking belatedly in life to his daughter.)
The Boxenwolf (also known as the Buxenwolf) was from Germanic lore of the Schaumberg region where a pact had been made with the Devil himself. The victim can be transmuted into a wolf with the help of a magic girdle. The girdle was said to be a device from Hell. When he takes the form of a wolf, he enjoyed persecuting people. Even though he looked like a regular wolf, he is still able to think like a human but gained “wolf powers” as well. His senses were magnified, such as smell, sight, and he was able to run incredibly fast.
Stories and legends continued as old and resilient as evil and the questioning of Power itself.
The Nazi Reich of the mid-century was an assimilation of Black Magic and these occult beliefs.
In 1923, a man known as Fritz Kappe created a terrorist group called Organization Werewolf. Their official banner looked a lot like a pirates’ old Jolly Roger – a black flag with white skull and crossbones (not to mention the semblance to Yale University’s Skull and Bones). At first, the group’s movement spread very quickly throughout Germany. Due to arrests by the Weimar government, the Werewolves never grew into an agency that caused any real threat: or so the popular conception went.
It is likely that Organization Werewolf was created in response to Adolf Hitler’s desire for Germany’s youth to be like werewolves – cruel and harsh, people that wanted to destroy humankind (history books say that Hitler was obsessed with wolves and werewolves and wanted his men to be more like them).
The name was chosen after the title of Hermann Löns’ novel, Der Wehrwolf (1910). Set in the Celle region, Lower Saxony, during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–48), the novel concerned a peasant, Harm Wulf, who, after his family is killed by marauding soldiers, organised his neighbors into a militia who hunted the soldiers mercilessly and executed any they captured, referring to themselves as Wehrwölfe. While not himself a Nazi (he died in 1914) Löns’ work was also popular with the German far right, and the Nazis reveled his work.
Werner Naumann, Goebbels’s top aide at the end of the war, sent out a noteworthy message by teletype to the Nazi Party’s regional propaganda offices in early April 1945. It called on the residual propagandists throughout Germany to devote their full efforts to building an underground resistance movement that would make Allied occupation insufferably costly. The Allies were in fact worried about the possibility of the Werewolf movement, but in the end, Germans were more than ready to have the war over and not much came of this final effort. (Werner Naumann, “Jetzt scheiden sich die Geister!” National Archives Microfilm Series T-311, roll 169, frames 1071-1074.)
Later, many historians came to believe that the German-American Bund supposedly went out of existence and that there really were no cogent groups such as Odessa after the war. There was mention of U-boats U-530 and U-977 and the 54 German U-boats that “disappeared” in a connection with a mythical Neuschwabenland. These tales were regulated to rumor and history’s junk pile. We are told that tales about the Nazi “time machine” technology – The Bell – wunderwaffe – was only a flagrant science-fiction-story.
Ironically, despite the myth’s historical actuality, mainline historians agreed to dismiss the legend and continue the disbelief down through the ages.
March 21, the celebration of the goddess Ostara, the evening of the kill shot.
The thud of a closed side entrance way to the Boxenwolf mansion denotes the young heiress’ exit. As she makes her way into the accompanying landscape of the property, a sudden hush comes over the territory, all wildlife becomes still and the wind stops as if upon command. Window light from the enormous manse intrudes upon the night while sharing the jet black darkness of many darkened rooms. The golden sheen of her long hair punctuates her passage towards the gradually rising mound several thousand feet into the property. Her swagger causes the strands to bounce sensuously from one side of her neck to the other. The nineteen-year-old’s erotic and unctuous rhythmic unveiling of her calf and leg through the slit of her gown is constant, disturbed every few seconds by her dodge over a hidden intruder-detection device. Her image recedes. As she gets closer to the mound, the sounds of night-time wildlife revive and quickly rise into a crescendo of sound. She opens a door at her destination that briefly reveals a yellow interior.
Suddenly, several feet away, a rectangular hangar door begins to slide upward. Just beyond it, posed bravely and daringly in the soft yellow-white light of the immense hangar, is a shining and suave Mercedes-Benz black limousine. It looks stark in the hygienically immaculate expanse of multiple pneumatic-operated floor platform/elevators. Their only accompaniment is the laboratory bays running around the inside periphery of the armory. The critters of the forest now sing in full force. For a brief moment, the girl stands in the breeze that is rippling her gown, exposing her youthful flesh and the sensuous curve of a pink calf of one leg. The unnaturally warm night air holds the unusual smell of mulch covering the budding flora growing beneath the earth that even these unseasonable events are also responding to her supernatural presence. Her sparkling blue eyes stare into and challenge the night. Gripped in her right hand is a mass of metal and wood. She swings the driver side door open, thrusts a rifle across the seat, and follows into the sleek interior..
“What music would fit the occasion, my beauty?” she asks the automobile. She says nothing for a minute as she starts the atomic miracle built into the interior of the black beast. “Ah yes, how about my favorite, good ole’ Ronnie Milsap, so appropriate.” She swings her hand over her head and the melody begins. The glowing dials and lights of the control panel accentuate her picturesque posture, pug nose, slanted eyebrows, small ears, and a small square chin. There is a stranger in my house; Ronnie Milsap (who is blind) is ironically singing that there is somebody here that he could not see! The automobile’s power source, a blend of Bugatti and graviton-quantum physics begins a graduated whine. Quickly, the structure of the vehicle commences evaporating into invisibility. A shimmering transformation moves along the automobile from rear to front, and in something akin to a large ‘pop’ the limousine vaporizes into the night, leaving only a few moments of the melody in the air…the singer can’t seem to find love in her ‘eyes’ anymore…the hangar door to the auxiliary research facility gradually slides shut..
They Brought Forth the Heiress’s “Armored, Technologically Seasoned Vehicle, Saturated with Sophisticated, Superior Weaponry…”
Her omniscience having performed expertly, the teenager is soon perched high above St. Louis in a selected sniper’s nest. No Rules of Engagement for her: she ‘is’ the Judge Advocate General (she must control herself from going out on these vicious safaris). What a combination, she thinks to herself, a specially designed sniper scope and her marvelous brain to dial-up the shooter solution. The target had left his office and is making his way south on Broadway Boulevard. The target stops to swiftly dispose of a paper bag containing the pulverized remains of a stealth “transient material” spy device into a curb-sewer as trash. The shooter assembles the barrel suppressor and braces her weapon with the help of an armature. Both eyes open on the scope in a mystical deer’s gaze. The jeweled and sparkling city about and below her seems to freeze in a mosaic of multi-colored design and scintillation. She zeroes in on the target’s center of mass and then adjusts the dial for the head. As she settles into her final Engagement Position, the girl begins to hum more of the Milsap tune, but this time in German: There are suspicions that lead to questions, then alibis, and then to lies. Her silky hair slides along her cheek enmeshing with the tantalizing smell, not only of the wolf pheromones of her perfumed shampoo but the unusually embedded aura of rifle lubricant and the sweet smell of her leather sniper gloves. The humming ceases. A deadly moment of dreadful silence dominates. She stops breathing for a second. She jerks the trigger to the right, adjusting for the wind, maybe even a shift in gravity.
The victim’s head becomes a gruesome mass of the bullet’s shock waves causing brain, skull bone, cerebral cortex, subcutaneous tissue, and various dermis to expand forward and upward in a red-white halo amid streamers in a mangled mess of hurt. The body lurches inches upward and forward in the direction of the blast, then drops like a wet rag.
All the technical data in sniper school, about distance, moving targets, running targets, she says to herself, becomes embedded, not just in your brain, but also in one’s arms, hands, and fingers.
However, it is nothing like the dexterity of the Magic she is about to do now in hiding her tracks; life can be stranger than old wives’ folklore tales.
Somebody here, says Milsap, which we cannot see.
March 21, late afternoon, one year later, in the current year.
Axtilgeenix: An ancient Gitxsan name meaning “he who walks leaving no tracks.”
Detective Lieutenant Wayne Harrington is afraid to answer the phone, even though he is a brave soldier of the Special Operations Unit. Every time it rings, it brings more dead-end information about a murder case in mid-St. Louis one year ago to-date. It had been hundreds of interviews, and multiple tests that had caused the case to languish in a pile of police paperwork that now confronted the detective. He is once again to review the facts and updates. Updates? The term Cold Case File didn’t do this case justice. He thought of another expression: Dead End Waste Land.
Such exasperation is not unlike the inhospitably callous city of St. Louis: To the north and east of the metropolis are the beige and chalk-white spires that race to the heavens on steel and concrete diagrid-skeletons and escalating terraces filled with heartless, arrogant, and cowering souls. The streets appear to be bare and unfriendly. Tiny black UAV micro-spy drones circle indomitably, gnat-like to and from the launch pad atop the nearby Police Department headquarters.
An expanded sky-walk from police headquarters, over Spruce Avenue to the Robert A. Young Federal Building, allows transport of homicide case files, easily moved to the recently purchased property by the Police Department: a heavily guarded conference room called the War Room. Special FBI Agent Jerold Schultz stands frozen aside the scenery, an office equipped with two desktop and several laptop computers, several telephones, a large meeting table in the center and one huge picture window from which the railroad yard below and the building line to the south could be readily viewed. Around the perimeter of the room, and on the table, are file boxes. Some of the manila folder contents are stacked haphazardly and spread across the table and several adjoining desks. The black silk suit and tie attiring the FBI detective appear to come alive when he suddenly breaks his stare to the rail-yard below.
“Okay Wayne, let’s see if I can put this all in perspective before I sign off on this review.” His silver-blonde hair and a silver-lined mustache denote his age, now a 20-year-veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He speaks with authority as a Chief Agent of the Critical Incident Response Tactical-Ops Investigator Specialist Group. He turns to look out the window again. He jiggles the coins in his front pocket. His fingers nervously tap the leather of his gun holster hidden on his belt. He abruptly slaps his gun and holster and gets back to the dreary business at hand in a final recitation of the chain of events.
“Our victim was shot on the evening of March 21 a year ago by a high-velocity-what-appeared-to-be ‘smart frangible projectile’ – possibly a hand-made bullet – that left absolutely no trace residue or hybrid materials – nothing – by a sniper several blocks away from an upper-level office in the 593-foot Metropolitan Square building, of that we are absolutely sure?”
Detective Herrington quietly flips another manila folder onto a stack on the table. He sits in a chair towards the end. He has dressed casually: no tie, dress slacks, but an extra-large plaid shirt that barely covers his stomach. Bags under his eyes denote lack of sleep and a possible kidney problem. His round and pudgy face, as his co-workers conjectured, seem to portray his kindness and his integrity..
“That’s correct: no copper, no zinc, no nickel, aluminum, antimony, no Teflon…you name it. We cooperated with several laboratories, not just the Medical Examiner’s Office here. Legal medical investigation of all tissue, blood and blood splatter, at Quantico, other laboratories for backup. Neutron-activation analysis, energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer….it’s all there…” Herrington waves his palm over the table.
The FBI agent continues, “And we know the shot came from a certain office in the Metro Square building because of the algorithm Quantico used on the beveling and tissue dispersal direction – not to mention what was caught on neighboring security cameras?”
“Plus acoustic evidence – Boomerang equipment and hidden street-audio-recordings – blood splatter analysis – the angle of impact – all seemed to pinpoint the Metro Square building in a cone of trajectory.” (A high-end computer-aided design and model that was established.) Herrington continues, “But there was no direct evidence that anyone was in the office at the time: no pertinent fingerprints, no aerosol evidence, the forensic crews went over that office with a fine microscopic-comb. No gunfire traces, no witnesses, no security violations…we hit hard on that.” Herrington hands a manila envelope to the FBI agent. He sits again. “My back is killing me,” the detective says in a grimace of pain.
Agent Schultz turns back to face Herrington, casually reading the contents: “A clear violation of Locard’s rule: ‘Any action of an individual, and obviously the violent action constituting a crime, cannot occur without leaving a trace’.” He stares blankly at Herrington for a good minute: “But also the laws of physics.”
.
Special FBI Agent Jerold Schultz Analyzes the Crime Situation
He is correct, Herrington muses to himself; a killer always takes something away from a crime scene and always adds something to it, but here the use of the word ‘always’ seemed incongruous. Oh yes, we live in an increasingly new, modern, technological age, he ponders to himself.
“Yeah, we brought in sophisticated, mobile equipment, mass spectral odor analysis, gas chromatograph-mass spectrometers, and so forth,” as part of the latest police equipment used on site. “We checked not just the one office, but all the adjoining offices, the outside ledges, and the window panes; we were practically camped out there for a week,” Herrington stands and arches his back and stretches. “We logged and interrogated every sentient being. Nothing on cameras…” Herrington stops and gives the FBI man a serious stare, as if he had just stepped out in front of a moving vehicle, his eyebrows rose for emphasis, “And how do you fire a rifle from within a closed office without damaging the window glass?”
“The shooter obviously owned the night!”
“To say the least,” Herrington agrees.
Beads of sweat creep over his forehead ridges.
Because of the increasingly bizarre nature of the crime, the Chief of the Homicide Division requested and received special funds. A massive dragnet and manhunt were instituted that very week and the downtown area was practically quarantined with a flood of special officers formed into a Task Force. Other agencies assisted on an emergency basis: The Bureau of Justice Assistance, The National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime, and other alphabet insignia. All persons with special rifle skills were located and questioned. It was continuous. A massive job that entailed multiple grids, ground, and dog-sniffing searches, along with countless interrogations. Because Metro Square is home to many attorney suites (commonly referred to as the Lawyer Building; St. Louis had a ratio of five lawyers per 1000 citizens), the Police Department consistently received threats by attorneys for harassment and invasion of privacy. The sniper couldn’t have picked a better spot for gumming the wheels of justice..
They utilized several criminal databases: The Criminal Justice Commission Statistical Analysis Center, the United Nations on Drugs and Crime Statistics, and others. None of the data had a direct solution to the crime; only vague suggestibility. After a briefing by the Task Force, The National Security Agency reported that surveillance satellites would not add to a solution. Spy satellites were called into use. Carnivore, Echelon, Prism, and Mainway satellites detected nothing useful. The NROL-75 spy satellite was in use over St. Louis that day: it recorded not a soul or machine that would give them a clue. The Police Department utilized micro aerial drones in St. Louis and surrounding areas, but no pertinent information as to mystery vehicles or persons. The paper bag that the security videos recorded the victim throwing into the sewer: its contents were located, at least, nothing in the Periodic Table of elements that would lead back to him – its self-destruction denoted a high level of technology.
As far as the victim’s background, police had nothing the Task Force could hang their hat on. A young, career-climbing attorney, he had made a prior arrangement to meet his girlfriend farther south of Broadway Avenue at a local grill and pub several blocks away. He was in good health. He left the office early in the evening. The Task Force traced all of his telephone and cell phone calls. All apparently were legitimate. Did he have any enemies? Well, you know, he ‘was’ a ‘lawyer.’
“We looked into his history. He was a Military Policeman in Afghanistan. It gets a little fuzzy at that point. Upon coming out of the Marines, he quickly went about supporting his career as an attorney. There was no response from the CIA as far as any intelligence connections. I’ll work on that,” says Schultz. The agent went back to observing the inbound and outbound railroad below. Shultz is shifting his glances from the outside scenery to his partner now and then, but his features in no way betray his successfully hidden, evil thoughts. Occasionally, there is the shrill frequency zing of a passing high-speed train. Mild snowflakes begin to intermingle with the smoke coming from railroad engines.
Herrington lumbers erect, arches his back and tightens his lips, “I tell ya, a few more cases like this one and I ‘will’ retire.” He runs his hand through his thinning hair, scratching his scalp for relief.
“Haven’t been well?” queries Schultz, glancing over to the detective. Beneath the silk of Schultz’s clothing are the hard, muscular swirls of a Spartan and athletic body. Herrington’s switching of his head side to side was his only reply. “Well, get me that summary – we’ll sign off on it – move the files back into storage for now, and let some other policemen use this office. Have the files shipped to my storage area in Virginia. We’ll keep an eye on it down at Quantico.” Schultz eyes the detective wryly. “You said there were some scratches on the victim’s back or some injury. Do you have the autopsy photos handy?”
“Sure, nothing’s changed on that; it was no injury, except one the victim’s nervous system created. The coroner and the examiners said it was a psychosomatic reaction…” Harrington locates and hands the folder containing the photos to the FBI man. “There it is, ‘psycho-physiological-mind-body-somatic reaction…’ caused at the time and from the trauma of the rifle shot, eh, like a pronounced rash or blushing…hydro-static shock….” (Herrington is having difficulty describing psychosomatic medicine.)
“No animal attributions? Someone says….”
“Nah, we had an expert in here looking at the photos. The marks only lasted a few hours and then went away. The expert was a carnivore biologist and behavioral ecologist, a forensic anthropologist,” Herrington tries to create a smile as his lips were contorted by his back pain, “someone joked about a wolf’s bite-marks. A joke? Someone had misspoken. It was nothing.”
The FBI man was acquainted with the photographic evidence from his previous visits, but he couldn’t resist looking at them one more time. Schultz’s gaze at the photos grew into a barely subdued look of astonishment. He recognized the vague outlines of an emblem he knew all too well. He tried not to allow his look of incredulity to betray his feelings to the other police officer. He recognized what he was looking at because he had such an emblem tattooed on his ankle in his youth. Because of his tender age at the time, all that remained was a rough vaccination-like circle from surgery that was barely visible. This evidence, however, was all too clear to Schultz, if only to him alone: it was the parallel strikes of the double sig rune – the SS bolts – the runic insignia of the schutzstaffel!
Later, Herrington braces himself inside his trench over-coat as he leaves the building and heads into the increasing snowflakes and wind that lash against the downturned brim of his fedora hat. He rehearses a mental mantra to himself: “I only have a few more years to my retirement.” He sees how the unkind and inclement weather ensconces itself as compared to this time last year. He recalls that last March was rather warm and ‘quiet’- the ‘quiet before the storm.’ He reflectively muses how a battle is taking place, not just of technology, but also, of the supremacy of power itself. The rules of the ‘game’ are increasingly complex and byzantine. Herrington is thinking of scientist David Bohm’s comments in a book he is reading about the “widespread feeling of helplessness and despair.”
How sad and prophetic.
.
″He reflectively muses how a battle is taking place, not just of technology, but also, of the supremacy of power itself.”
In the following weeks, almost spasmodically, investigators of various types and ranks in the case – die. Lieutenant Wayne Herrington dies in his bed from a heart attack. The Chief of Police is killed in a car crash. The Missouri Attorney General dies in an airline crash. Myriad technicians and news reporters alike also demise. An electrical fire destroys Schultz’s files on this case along with killing two visiting detectives; other unbeknownst but related deaths dance with questions of synchronicity, obscurity, and fate. Schultz, however, seems imperious to misfortune. Individually, each death had a certain amount of rectitude that leaves the deceased with a mindset of normality, but, like a slithering blood slick that trails all the way down to Quantico, the macabre body count is disconcerting but always becomes somehow unquestioned.

The Horrid Eternal Lair:
Wolfsschlucht (Wolf’s Ravine)
“Once we have the power we will never give it up!” Heinrich Himmler, Nazi SS Leader; later, “It is our duty to take these children if we have to rob or steal them. It is our duty to take their German blood or destroy it.”
March 21, the morning of the ‘kill shot.’
Amidst the forlorn late morning fog in the cold March climate in the hills and ravines of Saint Albans, jutted on cliffs of the Missouri River, behind the mangled branches of towering oak, maple and the suffocating bulks of uncultivated evergreen trees, stands a 40-million-dollar-plus 20-room-mansion. The structure lies one mile from a massive estate-gate laced with the latest reconnaissance and voice recognition technology. The 15-acre estate is shorn of the springtime horticulture that long-ago laced and decorated the citadel. The domain smothers beneath woodlands hiding the cruel, Gothic face that was once a healthy and happy Manor. The House of Boxenwolf rejected the name of Watson in the 70s and took on the coat of arms and family crest of Boxenwolf on the same property. The Boxenwolf emblem hangs menacingly above the substantial 3-inch thick mahogany front door with its stiles and panels bulleted by a 19th-century snarling wolf-head door knocker.

Along the forest tree line, the shining eyes of wolves glimmer from lowered heads in fear and unwitting respect for the proprietors. Despite its horrid surroundings, the true value of the property is hidden beneath an unfathomable mountain of scientific and technical espionage labyrinths concealed beyond door chimes that herald Lao Arnaud’s The Buglers’ Dream.
(A history of the realm, buried in the muck and bustle of human activity, is one of the thousands of such asylums disguised about the planet. Many are shrouded with thousands of spy, DNA Reconnoiter, Black Hat and Black Ops devices typical of the Boxenwolf Empire. The regime often chooses special names, titles, and codes of hidden mystical significance.)
The dim, barely audible voice of the late horror-actor Boris Karloff is but a creeping whisper floating in the lonesome corridors, hidden somewhere within and emitted from a classic B-movie-murder-film playing on a television in the bowels of its inner sanctum. The building’s innards are bathed in the aroma of cigar smoke from many tycoon meetings and overlaid throughout with the scent of basil and underpinnings of cannabis, myrrh and frankincense transfused all over the stony citadel. The movie is interrupted for a commercial break on drastically reduced automobile sale prices. The ad is themed by the barely-heard distant sounds coming from a boy’s television of a classic Beatles song of 1958, In Spite of All the Danger……“In spite of all that may be, I’ll do anything for you, anything you want me to be…..”
A telephone is ringing. A very elderly women trudges towards the incessant sound, one foot sliding ahead of the other in effortful, somewhat painful, movements encrypted with many years of haunted memento. Her haggard features portray profound life-worn expressions of fatigue, fear, dignity, regret, concupiscence, and, yes, horror and revenge that drips from grayed wrinkled flesh. In the shadowy and ghoulishly lit house, she somehow reaches the phone. As a Great Dame, she surrounds her world with rare and extravagantly exotic archetype materials as signs of her immense and boundless authority. Her left hand, almost transparent with age, grips the pure diamond and gold wolf-head knob of an exquisite hand carved stiletto-cane resembling flowing wolf fur. With each step, the staff clangs and echoes as it hits the marble floor. Slowly picking up the receiver in quivering hands, she raises it to her aged ear. A very trembling, low, but audible, juddering woman’s voice speaks into the jeweled, computerized antique-celebrity-decorator phone that is totally secured and completely severed of contact with any normal landline system:
“Yes?’ She speaks sternly with as much authority as she can muster.
The caller resides in an attorney’s office in downtown St. Louis, one of the larger buildings occupied by so many attorneys it has become known as “The Lawyer’s Building,” a citadel of power. A strong, rather youthful, and confident male voice responds:
“I’ve just spent 15 minutes dickering with your security receptionist! Hello? Is Justus Watson there?”
The old woman is momentarily stunned by the scolding; it is apparent the conversation had gotten off on the wrong foot and that this rapscallion thinks he has somehow connived his way [rather, was knowingly permitted] through her security apparatus. The centenarian slowly glances back to her servant partially hidden in the darkness of the hallway. The servant nods his head as his statuesque features rise and lowers in acknowledgment.
“No. No, he is not,” she lies. Do you mean ‘Boxenwolf’? Who is this? How did you get this number?”
“It’s Bob Felding; I’m an attorney in the Office of the Chief Actuary Staff at the Social Security Administration,” he lies. “An application has been passed down to me for more intimate handling. It was only a cursory examination at the Inspector General’s Office. Ah, it seems…..Justus filled out a form improperly, we just wanted to get with him and help him correct a few things.” (Bob Felding looks astute with professionally trimmed blonde hair, wearing a classic fit pinpoint dress shirt with black oxford shoes. Bob Felding also works on occasion as a CIA Block and Chain Cutout. His Intelligence privileges allow him to use disposable and destructible special CIA voice-to-skull transmitting equipment.)
“He’s not here now; is there something I can help you with? He’s my grandson.” The word ‘grandson’ is pronounced in aristocratic slowness.
“Oh, well, he’s not supposed to write any extra comments on the form; he’s written some messages at the top…”
“Oh, oh, well, what was that?”
“He must have misunderstood some of the questions….”
“Yes?”
“Well, he seemed confused, I guess he got off track, he wrote, among other things, that he was born on 21st of July…”
“Well?” interrupts the Baroness, her cheeks sinking inward as blood flowed away from her face in the rise of anger beginning to rise and ripple through her body. She begins to fidget, crossing her arm over her breasts and tucking her hand beneath the drooping fat of her bent arm. She frequently glances over the shoulder to see if her servant would soon be in pursuit to her side. Nevertheless, she really did not need information as to why this call existed. She twirls her lavishly jeweled ring around her thin finger. She can hear Felding’s breath signaling his exasperation.
There is an interruption and a long pause along with an elderly cough for courage. She recollects the past, where in happier times, she would have spanked Justus’s mischievous butt. Now, she knows Justus was not being particularly malicious in this matter. Her brother, Ignacious Boxenwolf, is somehow aware of this special clandestine governmental project. The Boxenwolf Intelligence corps knows the telephone call was coming well before it arrived. There was, in fact, no application sent to this man. She will play along with this suspicious person. It is not the first time ‘spies’ have hounded her. She will throw him a curve, and give her staff time to investigate…this so-called ‘stranger’ in her house.
“Oh? Really? I….I….I…don’t recall this at all. You know, you know, I don’t believe he did!”
“No, no. We get misapplications all the time. However, everything seems to be wrong here…we couldn’t find a thing, a thing at all, in our databases. It was like he didn’t exist.” (Felding releases a small giggle.)
Scuffling her feet awkwardly to show a stance of indignation and to muster a sense of protest, she grips the ivory-diamond phone, all color escaped from her hand under the pressure of her grip. Maybe she can throw the attorney off track.
“No. No. I hope not….I don’t think so….I know my grandson….there’s no indication that he contacted you… know all his friends…..”
“Ma’ am, he ‘is’ an applicant…”
She is jabbing the phone closer to her ear in anger, causing the earlobes to redden.
“I don’t think so, sir! I tell you! He’s been living here for years….don’t you think his grandmother would know?”
“Well, yeah, I would think so…” The great scarcity in official records of any mention of the Boxenwolf family had previously crossed Felding’s mind, but he had no way to know that its universal eradication was due to hyperactive technology and memory dissolution. This matter will be forever seen by everyone as only a preliminary investigation. The complete history was not even revealed to him. Felding is relentless, however, as he fiddles with the settings on his hyper-technical detection device: an outgrowth of global science and DARPA experimentation.
“When would this ‘be’? How could this ‘happen’?” Her feet move back and forth in nervous little movements, barely staying in her loose but expensive slippers.
“It happens all the time.”
“In other families, maybe, sir, but I tell you, you have no applicants from our family!”
Felding continues weak, exasperated laughs. “Mistakes happen to all of us, everyone, lady; you, me, every single, breathing person!”
She gasps in shock at Felding’s brash attitude. “Are you crazy? Maybe you, young man, but I’ve handled major matters in dire situations for all my life…..this has nothing to do with us, and that is that!”
(Life’s magic had often come in evil ways. For Lauren Watson – soon to be Boxenwolf – evil came as she had stood in the 1970 soil of Kenya, Africa. A youthful statue of picturesque female beauty, anchored in the best aristocratic heritage and education, muscularly sensuous with rose-ivory cheeks, exquisite ruby lips filled from healthy blood within. Her demanding blue eyes portrayed her majesty in her female safari skirt, hunting vest, tag boots and slouch hat that covered locks of brilliantly golden hair. Feet planted firmly and boldly braced for her shot, the 8 x 57 MM Mauser raised delicately, scope cradling her eye; she aimed steely at the swirling, lashing bushes. The native boy had come charging to her side, yelling frantically and pointing his finger in fear at the burly, bouncing mass of fur that became known as a shape-shifting monster of the Steytlerville region. It suddenly lurched from the thicket; “Wesens! Wesens! Bawokozi! Save us!” Without flinching, undistracted, undeterred she squeezed the trigger and a powerful, explosive crack riveted the air…the epitome of good warring against evil was suddenly lodged at the end of a rifle barrel.)
Felding pauses. He suddenly finds himself confused and at a loss for words. “I am afraid you misunderstand me, I am speaking about ‘human’ beings, lady.”
“And what do you think ‘I’ am; a courtesan from Mars? You, young people, are going to hell in a handbasket, you think we all are part of your den of iniquity, calling here, looking for your kind, thinking no one can unravel your mischief…”
Felding leans back in his adjustable leather seat, trying to regain some casual composure.
“He sent us an application, I didn’t ask him to.”
She realizes some technological expertise had to be obtained to call in on such a hidden telephone line; an impossibility. However, Felding connotes much more to her. She knows the type: four to six years of law school and practice gives them the illusion that they deserved salaries greater than the President of the United States. They even feel they outdistance the subterfuge displayed in the Dirty Tricks Division of the Central Intelligence Agency. The legal industry is rife with them. As they speak—unfortunately for Felding—the Boxenwolf security apparatus is functioning expertly: something that even the machinery of the U.S. Special Activities Division Directorate of Science and Technology could not compare with.
“Do you know what you are doing, young man? Do you know with whom you are dealing?”
“Ma’am, I’ve dealt with all kinds of people in my profession. I’ve been a Chief Audit Executive in Senior Management of the Internal Revenue Service. I’ve had FPTE, IE, ETS, CAS work under me. I’ve organized and trained thousands in the IRS Large Business and International Division…..”
“Nonsense…!” There is again an interruption to her scolding.
“…..we’ve audited a 22,000 square metric factory in Saudi Arabia, and I am presently joining the Affordable Care Act – the Audit Team on the National Health Care…..,” lying, he continues to probe; hoping little bits of information would come out revealing the true nature of the person he is dealing with.
The old woman’s face deflates into an ashen disgust. She knows the conversation has to take a different direction.
“Shut up, you pimple! You ant! We ‘own’ you…” Her voice holds a special quiver on the word ‘own.’
“I am highly educated, lady. I am no dummy. I’ve graduated from Yale and Harvard….” Felding has deliberately left behind all semblances to professional politeness and truth as part of his disguise.
A carnivorous smile comes upon her face. “You don’t ‘understand,’ you impudent guttersnipe! We ‘own’ Yale; we ‘own’ all of them, all of them! I’ve been educated beneath countless tenured professors in our secret bases around the world. Are you a Sharpshooter? I am! I’ve traveled in time and trained in the traditions of snipers: Simo Hayha, Lieutenant Lyudmila Pavlyuchenko,” and the list of historically renowned snipers and sharpshooters begins to unravel at length, and in rapid fashion, “And I’ve personally trained with U.S. Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock on the M25 White Feather. I am more than an Ojibwa Warrior, trained by many governments. We destroy ‘governments!”
Felding continues to gourd the old lady, despite the fantastic comments he was hearing; it was all vital information. “…not ‘the’ government, not ‘this’ government (caustic chuckle.)…it has too much ‘power.’” He continues assuasive chuckles; maybe, Felding says to himself, he could flush the story out of this old hag.
“Power?” Her voice races to a sudden peak of irresolute anger; she pauses only briefly to muster a little strength and determination in her voice. “I’ll tell you about ‘power’! (Her voice strings out the sound of that last word slowly as if punctuating it. She takes a deep breath and her causerie continues amidst a newfound strength and energy.) I have stood on many a catwalk looking down into the golden glare and searing heat of pristine melted gold poured from ladles in thousands of our gold foundries around the world. We have hundreds of Lutetium, Rhodium, and rare earth factories thousands of feet below the earth. I have sat before the scintillating canopy of hundreds of video screens in one of our Cyber Centers; tabulated visuals portraying the millions of RFID and bioresorbable spy-implant chips in our universal enterprise: charting the lives of billions of public human lives. Power? (Her face is rubescent with anger) I do not believe I ‘can’ die, but if that fate surrounds me, I have the best cryogenic laboratory and scientists standing ready to resurrect me. That’s ‘power’! I have talked with CEO’s and CFO’s in over thousands of companies and Presidents of countries. Unbeknownst to them, we own Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat Energy Development, L.G. Group, Barrack Gold, Bankers Petroleum, Halliburton, SPDR Gold, Teva Pharmaceutical…,” her anger is punctuated from small blood trails as she scratches the ridges of her staff. She names companies ranging from Saudi Aramco to the Rand Corporation…
“You’re joking?” Beads of sweat are forming on Felding’s face. Seldom had he had to back down as an attorney in the courtroom, but he knows he is up against much more now than a courtroom-witness.
“I thought you were an ‘expert’ at the Internal Revenue Service? Why don’t you know?” The old woman takes advantage of a silent moment.
“There is a lotyou don’t ‘know’!” (She pauses to regain her breath as a token of control.) “Justus is just not in your league, he is working to be a member of a society that you couldn’t even comprehend, and you….you….you….hiding under the disguise of ‘social security’ – there will be nothing ‘secure’ about you, sir…..”
The heiress’ attention moves to the pulsating and flashing rainbow of lights on the security alert panel above the telephone podium; each color denoting a stage of security endangerment. To the far left, a button is a steady red: a denotation that a security matter must be attended to privately and personally. She has been waiting for the signal.
“Well, can you have him call me…?” Felding’s face has become a lineless mask of astonishment; a creeping assessment of the situation as critical: perhaps he did and perhaps he didn’t get the information he wanted, but he will make a safe exit now.
“He won’t be calling you, sir. The secret will be kept!Coute Que Coute!”
Lauren Boxenwolf instinctively knows that this meandering chitchat has to be ended. Once again, the Power that stalks those who challenge and threaten ‘Its’ divulgence will protect its history. She ‘could’ completely disintegrate and wipe out his identity and history with a flick of the finger. This problem, however, will be a personal ‘visit,’ and for pure sensual pleasure, a direct hunt.
She presses a buzzer in the mega-gigabyte-memory telephone console-pad. It summons her security concierge, the Boxenwolf Enterprise Guard, and Maintenance Cadre. They will bring forth from the subterranean conclave an armored, technologically seasoned vehicle, saturated with sophisticated superior weaponry, her current-model-Mercedes-Benz-Classic-Black-Bison limousine.
“I’ve always felt there was something fishy about our misappropriations for the ‘social security’… (She deliberately emphasizes the pronunciation of the words.)…So many so-called powerful organizations think they are solely in control, I’ve been watching, trulywatching...and now you have come to break my boredom, to milk my revenge…”
Her blood pressure rapidly rises–her brain is firing millions of synapse connections in passion. Visions of her past memories cascade into her mind, flooding her body with a sense of overwhelming revulsion. Throwing the wolf-head staff aside into the air, she drops the expensive silk robe off her body. Standing naked, she reaches for a young women’s elaborate and expensive slit-gown draped over the corner of her costly leather Arm Chair.
“I’m going to hang up now.” The muscles in Felding’s stomach begin twisting and hardening.
“I know all about you! I have your number: you are ‘mine!’ Do not try to come here. I’m over 120-years-old; doesn’t mean I cannot defend myself. I have a long-range, multi-shot, sniper weapon with specially equipped Crisp, Creep-free Trigger Pull …”
A sovereign voice, some ghost off to the side and upward, is whispering. Her eyes jolt into a haunted gaze. Stunned, she slowly arches her head to look up to the invisible phantom speaking to her. Lips quivering, she moans to herself; her body beginning to shiver in an unexpected passion. She unexpectedly releases a small yellow rivulet of urine that runs down her leg; it laces onto her emerald, ruby, and diamond Javier Barrera slippers. It pools on the floor. Dazed, she looks at a rifle silhouetted from the hearth flames; it hangs with an armada of other expensive weapons near the cavernous fireplace mantle–—the phone, slightly away from her mouth—–she begins to barely whisper to herself in lustful sensuous tones of sexual arousal. Erotic muscles tighten and twinge as little known sexual zones release into an orgasm that suddenly racks her body…
Now dispossessed from her unseen lover, her attention is reclaimed fully to an evil task…
“…and I ‘know’ how to use it, yes, yes I do…” She has somehow glided into the dress and tightened the belt.
“Bye now. Bye…” Felding’s voice, laced with signs of fright and apprehension, becomes somewhat weak and trailing.
“You weasel, scum, sneaking around…” She looks at the Collegiate Gothic style front door with an expression that encompasses every bit of dark, malevolent energy she can muster. All her facial and body features are consumed in a voice that is a low, groveling witch’s moan…
“…a stranger, no more!”
As if a wisp of smoke creeping unpredictably through the palace, the muffled, distressing monotone of an announcer to a slash-horror movie trailer can almost be heard from the distant television program in one of the far dens: “Run, if you must. Hide, if you are able. Scream, if you can….but whatever you do, don’t answer the phone.”
“Life’s magic had often come in evil ways. For Lauren Watson – soon to be Boxenwolf – evil came as she had stood in the 1970 soil of Kenya, Africa. A youthful statue of picturesque female beauty, anchored in the best aristocratic heritage and education.”
Michael Barry Reid (born May 24, 1947[1]) is an American country music artist, composer, and former American football player, born and raised in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Reid attended college at and graduated from the Pennsylvania State University, where he played defensive lineman the Penn State Nittany Lions football team. He then spent five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals in the National Football League, earning trips to the Pro Bowl after the 1972 and 1973 seasons, before retiring after the 1974 season. He subsequently focused on his musical career, co-writing several hit singles for country music artists, including Ronnie Milsap‘s “Stranger in My House“, which won a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1984. Reid later began a solo recording career, releasing two studio albums for Columbia Records. He charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart as a singer, including the Number One hit “Walk on Faith“.
“Milsap didn’t write his own songs, but he was a master at choosing them. He said that he and a friend, iconic producer Rob Galbraith, started their own publishing company. One of their favorite writers was Mike Reid, a former professional football player who would go on to have his own successful solo career.
“I’d sit and talk with Mike,” Milsap said. “He’d ask me, what kind of song do you want? I told him, I’m out on the road and the truckers always want to know when am I going to sing something about them.
“About a year later, he came back to me with ‘Prisoner of the Highway.’ When he played me ‘Stranger in My House,’ I told him, ‘You know I’m going to record that one.’”
Joseph P. Farrell has written many books on the secrets of the Third Nazi Reich and its continuance into a worldwide cabal of a Fourth Reich hidden through the political machinations and devices of this fascist corporatism.
Farrell concentrates in this tome on how this was played out in the life of the one-time Deputy Fuhrer to Adolf Hitler, who was third in succession to become head of state and government after Hitler and Reichsmarschall Herman Goring. Much of Farrell’s book centers around Rudolf Hess’s mystery flight on May 10, 1941 to Great Britain, the questions surrounding the motives of the flight, the possibility of a doppelganger Hess, his confinement at Spandau prison, his death and possible murder, his incoherent and bizarre behavior at the Nuremberg trial, and the Nazi plans to complete a German annexation agreement on the Reich ownership of Antarctica.
“…the Hess Mess is indeed a colossal, gigantic inexplicable mess,” says Harrell. “There are no easy answers here: there are only uncomfortable synchronicities and question boarding on the absurd and bizarre, and speculative scenarios whose sweep and scope are truly immense, bizarre, and horrifying.” (p. 256)
“Thus, the messiest aspect of the ‘Hess Mess’ is that it does spin out of control, wildly and very quickly, into associations and relationships with mind control,” also says Farrell, “Antarctica, Atlantis, into conspiracies of doubles and double-crosses, and into strange lore and myths, which Hess, no stranger to the occult, and as Hitler’s Deputy in the Nazi Party, most certainly knew.” (p. 7)

WHAT DID HESS BECOME?
.
Farrell introduces the reader to what might be characterized as “Spandau Hess” with events involving his impressiveness and possible murder of either the ‘real’ Hess or a substitute doppelganger. Relying on researchers such as Peter Radfield and others, Farrell suspects many of the guards and the nurse Aballah Melaouchi, as well as the several medical orderlies that might have been involved in the possible murder. There is mention of an electrical cord and probable strangulation marks on Hess’s neck (pp. 15-32).
Hess’s son, Wolf Rudiger Hess, also questioned the discrepancies in the death of his father. British forensic pathologist and professor of forensic medicine, J.M. Cameron, was selected to perform the autopsies, and he had also found a suicide note. Wolf Hess requested his own autopsy of his father which indicated probable strangulation. Hess attempted to see his father, says Farrell, but was stymied, only being allowed to see his father through an open door and receiving peculiar and skeptical responses from his father.
“…we saw that there were unusual and possible connections between Ewen Cameron, the psychologist who would become such a central component of the postwar CIA’s MK-Ultra mind control program,” says Farrell, “and who was the very doctor brought in by Allen Dulles to examine ‘Hess’ at Nuremberg…First, and most famous example, of Mind Control on record.” (pp. 89, 92, 93, 253)
“Such behavior is characteristic of victims of mind-control experimentation and techniques,” continues Farrell, “and it is not the last time we shall encounter that subject with the Hess Mess, far as we shall eventually discover, it is a consistent and egregious feature of the affair.” (p. 47)
.
WHY HESS’S MAY 10, 1941 FLIGHT?
.
Wolf Hess spoke about mind-altering drugs in his father’s demise, as well as a mysterious affidavit dated February 22, 1988, telling of certain conclusions about “Western secret services.” The document told of political assassination, according to Wolf, in what Farrell captions as the “military-intelligence-national-security-complex.” (pp. 50-54)
Much of the Hess mystery began in Hess’s background. In 1919, Hess joined the Thule Society which is an anti-emetic, quasi-occult lode in Munich, Germany. The Society had its own Kampfbund army. A noted member was Dietrich Eckart who helped formulate the Nazi money-laundering, X-funds theories of “debt-free money by-passing central banks…”
Barron von Sebottendorff had studied the Giza complex and the doctrines of esoteric Islam and also beliefs of Lanz von Liebenfels and Guido von Lest. These practitioners held the Aryan Purity belief in which Aryan’s were dispersed from the North Pole. Hess is believed to have sheltered these beliefs himself in the Party, although Hess had been forbidden to speak on this doctrinal background at his Nuremberg trial.
Relying heavily on the research of Picknett, Prince and Prior’s Double Standards: TheRudolf HessCover-up and W. Hugh Thomas’s, The Murder of Rudolf Hess, and other searches such as Hess’s son Wolf Hess, Who Murdered My Father, Rudolf Hess?, Farrell examines the bizarre behavior of Hess over the span of his arrest, trial at Nuremberg, and the possible use of Mind Control and even a Hess “double.” (pp. 38-50, 113-115)
One suspicion was the May 10, 1941 flight by Hess to Great Britain was the bringing of “peace overtures” and Hess’s opposition to Operation Barbarossa, says Farrell. Another factor may have been a prophecy and preview of a German atomic bomb believed to have eventually detonated near October of 1944. Hess’s flight may have also been to “seal the deal” of peace negotiations begun in Sweden, Switzerland and Spain (John Harris, Richard Wilbourn, Rudolf Hess: A New Technical Analysis of the Hess Flight. Farrell refers to secret meetings with General Karl Haushofer and his son Albrecht which concerned a “fusion” of the United States with Great Britain.
The most startling theory concerned “a coordinated coup d’etat” which was planned to overthrow both governments, Britain and Germany. (pp. 132-146)
.
MULTIPLE REASONS
.
The Possible “peace faction” behind Hess was Sir Samuel Hoare, Lord Beaverbrook, British foreign intelligence MI6 Sir Stewart Menzies, groups such as the ″Bright Club,” “The Link,” and other pro-peace factions. There were topics such as a German expansion of Lebensraum or the display of the Jewish problem and a possible “Jewish homeland.”
.
.
Farrell suspects some kind of plan or ploy was instigated for a “more moderate coalition government.” (pp. 166-176.) This could have evolved into an “international bilateral coup d’etat plot” of a Hoare-Hess “defacto and dejure treason.” (p. 173)
“Hess not only was capable of being involved in such a scheme, but there may have been a quiet, concerned propaganda campaign,” says Farrell “to prepare the German people or his assumption of power with a more moderate coalition government, perhaps one, as we have seen, included Goring.” (p. 176)
Farrell explores further that Hess’s “peace plan” may have been a mechanism to also ‘warn’ the British about the on-coming ‘final solution’ of the Jews (p. 224). Farrell lists the disclosures by Max Nordau (Pre-World-War-One), Rabbi Stephen Wise (Pre-World-War- One), Ben Hecht and Robert John (Pre-Hitler) mentioning of six-million Jews or people (p. 228).
The “Jewish Question” was broached by Wolf Hess, the Program Halifax, the Zionist Movement, Lord Victor Rothschild, and the Apostles Society, in what seemed to be groundwork primarily for “the Holocaust.” There was even mention of finding land parcels to where the Jews could be safely migrated to.
All of this appears to be “debris in the junkyard of the Hess Mess” (p. 232).
Another puzzle piece appeared to be an occult book which Hess took on his flight called the Black Book of Loughcrew which told about Holy Objects and buried treasure.
Farrell further suspects Heinrich Himmler and Rudolf Hess may have actually been part of an assassination plot of Hitler. “…the sine qua non of any negotiated peace in the West was the removal of Hitler from power,” says Farrell.
.
MORE ON HESS AS A DOUBLE
.
Farrell explores further the possibility of a “Hess double,” as told about in W. Hugh Thomas’s book The Murder of Rudolf Hess. Indicatively, “Spandau Hess” had no war scars, and this newer Hess was a smoker.
Allen Dulles, OSS status chief in Zurich and later director of the CIA as well as the notorious member of the Kennedy assassination Warren Commission, asked MK-Ultra “mind control” expert Dr. Ewen Cameron to examine Hess. Various authors propose that Hess was a manufactured mind-controlled Manchurian candidate experiment (pp. 90-91). The alternative theory had been that someone performed as a convincing double. Surprisingly, Ewen Cameron was related to the Dr. James Malcolm Cameron who conducted the Hess autopsy.
“…Hess was eventually brought to the Tower of London under conditions of extreme secrecy, where he remained briefly, during which period he was drugged…Hess’s mental and emotional behavior appeared to deteriorate dramatically…the Hess who returned to Nuremberg in 1945 lacked the proper scaring from World War One wounds means that at some point during his stay in Britain, a double was substituted for the real Hess, who remained in their view in Scotland…any number of reasons for the creation and substitute of a double…” (pp. 194, 196).
.
ANTARCTICA FRONTS
.
“…There is evidence that Hess’s mission was about far more than just a plan for Britain’s consideration, one touching on all these subjects, from atomic bombs to the ‘Jewish question,’” says Farrell, “from European peace and order to Antarctica, for consideration.” (pp. 85-86)
Nazi Germany always had an inclusive interest in Antarctica ever since Hermann Goring’s may 9, 1938 expedition. Goring’s expedition was a first-step-plan to “annex” Antarctica into the Reich’s ownership, and that a post-war use was in store for the continent: Germany was “staking a claim” (p. 240). This maneuver was rejected by the Norwegian government, and this “dispute” may have come up in the “Hess Mess.” Picknett, Prince and Prior suspected that Hess’s flight also had the purpose to “conclude matters” of Antarctic ownership (pp. 250-251).
The United States was likewise mixed into the Antarctica mystery when an Operation Highjumputilized over four thousand people, an aircraft carrier, a submarine, aircraft helicopters, and special equipment to investigate the continent.
Admiral Richard Byrd was the leader of the operation and was accompanied by his son, Richard E. Byrd, Jr. Others involved in the operation were Rear Admirals Good and Cruzen, Vice Admiral Forrest Sherman, the Naval Chief of Staff Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, and Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal, who later became Secretary of Defense.
Operation High Jump had a destination of Queen Maud land/Neu-Schwabenland described as a maneuver of “an encirclement of conquest” as well as an “attack from three fronts” (pp. 241-242).
The death of Admiral Richard Byrd’s son, Byrd Jr., bizarrely happened in September 1988 (on his way to a highlighted commemorative dinner for his father), shortly after being seen in the company of an unidentified man. Byrd Jr. had accompanied his father on the 1947 expedition (pp. 247-248).
Farrell is skeptical about the growing popular theory that a Third/Fourth Nazi Reich “fortress” was established in the bowels of the Antarctica wastelands, as he says he does not feel it was mechanically possible, indicating the problems that the Americans had in Project Iceworm and Project Century in Greenland[1]. Farrell, however, says the Americans were, indeed, looking for something (p. 245).
There are some contradiction and dissent for Farrell’ skepticism, such as the Chilean Newspaper account of a UFO attack witnessed by members of Operation High Jump; also the beliefs of the late investigator Jim Marrs who so vividly wrote on Antarctica and its Nazi occupation[2]. Other researchers believed that the Nazi discovered thermal vents and other reasons to establish an Antarctica base[3]
“…the Hess Mess is indeed a colossal, gigantic inexplicable mess,” says Farrell. “There are no easy answers here: there are only uncomfortable synchronicities and questions boarding on the absurd and bizarre, and speculative scenarios where sweep and scope are truly immense, bizarre, and horrifying.” (p. 256)
“…the case is a wild roller coaster ride through a hall of mirrors enclosed in a fog of obfuscation of claim and counterclaim and a badly confiscated and contradictory narrative,” says Farrell, “a narrative also overlaid with wild postwar neo-Nazi assertions of Antarctica survival and UFOs and the usual academic attempts at debunking them.” (p. 5)
