Dedication
This book is dedicated to all Immortal Spiritual Beings, whether they are
aware of themselves as such, or not. It is especially dedicated to the
wisdom, courage and integrity of those Greater Beings, who in various
incarnations at various times during the past, in the present and into the
future, enkindle and carry the Flame of Truth into the darkest corners of the
universe.
This dedication is not only to the philosophical teachings and technologies
developed by these beings, but to the demonstrated and documented
courage to apply their philosophy in the face of overwhelming ignorance,
overt hostility and aggressive suppression by lesser beings and by the selfserving vested interests of inter-galactic and planetary political, economic,
and religious institutions.
Though relatively few in number, the profound wisdom and heroic
dedication of such beings, and those who share their quest, have been the
only effective deterrent to spiritual slavery. Freedom, Communication,
Creativity ,Trust and Truth for all Immortal Spiritual Beings in this universe
is their legacy. The Good Examples set by them is our sanctuary and
sustenance. Personal, diligent application of their teachings is our weapon
against the dwindling spiral of chaos and oblivion that is the material
universe.

Editorial Guidelines Used In This Book
I have tried not to edit the material I received from Mrs. MacElroy except to
the degree necessary to make a logical sequence of the material she mailed
to me. Wherever possible I have quoted or transcribed her original written
notes verbatim.
In some instances I have taken editorial liberty to add other information, or
supplementary commentary which I feel will add useful definitions, or
clarification to the information given in the official transcripts, or to her
remarks or observations. These appear as a numbered "(Footnote)" in the
Appendix at the end of the book. All footnote references, where possible,
are copied verbatim from the free internet encyclopedia website
www.wikipedia.org. If information was not available through Wikipedia.org,
I used the popular internet search engine www.google.com to find a website
reference that seemed most appropriate to the subject matter.
Mrs. MacElroy did not make a notation of dates in the most of the
documents, so I am not certain that the sequence of material matches the
actual sequence of events, or sequence of the interviews, except as noted on
the official transcripts themselves.
Since it has been 60 years since the date of the interviews, and considering
the age of Mrs. MacElroy before her death, I reasoned that she did not
necessarily have an acute recollection of exact names, dates and times,
except as recorded in the transcripts of July 8th through August 12th, 1947.
The material in this book is organized into three different types. The
following notations will be used to designate where these appear in this book:
1) (MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTES)
(TYPE FONT: Times Roman, 12 point)
2) (OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
(Courier New, 12 point)
3) 1 (Footnote)

Introduction:
The Mystery of UFOs and Extraterrestrials
If you have studied UFO phenomena at all, you are already familiar with the
infamous Orson Welles radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds, And The
Invasion from Mars" 1
(Footnote) on Oct. 30, 1938. This fictitious radio
dramatization of an invasion of Earth by "aliens" incited a global UFO and
extraterrestrial hysteria long before the UFO crash near Roswell, N.M. in
1947.
During the past 60 years, since the alleged Roswell crash, there have been
tens of thousands of reported UFO sightings. A global hysteria has emerged
from "evidence" of what is presumed to be extraterrestrial phenomenon.
Concurrently, the unrelenting denial of this phenomenon by the U.S.
government has precipitated an uninterrupted flurry of accusations, counteraccusations, cover-up conspiracy theories, lunatic fringe speculations,
"scientific investigations", etc., etc., ad nauseam, and a growing multitude of
similar alleged "close encounters".
My first thought when I received the package of documents from Mrs.
MacElroy was: "This is just another set of Majestic-12 documents".
2
(Footnote) I am referring to a "mysterious package" reportedly received by
mail in 1984 shortly after the death of the last surviving member of the socalled "Majestic-12" committee, alleged to have been organized by President
Harry Truman shortly after the Roswell incident in 1947.
There are several similarities to the "Majestic-12" documents and the
package I received from Mrs. MacElroy. In the case of the former, an
envelope was sent from an anonymous sender with no return address. It
contained an undeveloped roll of film. That's all. On the roll of film were
photos of documents that were assumed to be authentic by the recipient and
his colleagues whose vested interest, i.e. livelihood, depend heavily on
attracting public notice and credibility to themselves as "leading authorities"
on the subject of UFO phenomena. They have worked relentlessly since
then to discover "proof" that the documents are authentic. Of course,
government agencies deny everything alleged in the documents and
anything having to do with the subject of extraterrestrials in general.
11
In addition, the subject has become so thoroughly overwhelmed with obvious
false reports, discredited sources, hearsay, manufactured falsehoods,
misunderstandings, missing information, added inapplicable information and
a myriad of other conflicting complexities which have made the subject
laughable or unapproachable as a science. This may be intentional, or
simply a reflection of the general chaos and barbarism that is Humanity.
As for government denials and cover-ups, the events of September 11, 2001,
have made it abundantly apparent to me that the U.S. government has
destroyed any vestige of trust the American people and the world may have
harbored, even through the Vietnam war, Watergate, and many similar
betrayals, in the "honesty" of the American government, military and
intelligence community, by blatantly lying to it's own people about almost
anything and everything.
In spite of vast numbers of "UFO sightings", innumerable reports of "alien
abductions", and "close encounters" with extraterrestrials that pervade nearly
all of prehistoric and recorded human history I found only one underlying,
unifying, undisputable, axiomatic common denominator that permeates all of
this data:
Assuming that subjective reality, or beliefs, of individuals is acceptable
evidence, there has been no universally agreed upon "proof" that UFOs and
/ or extraterrestrial life forms exist whether based on government admission ,
physical evidence, circumstantial or subjective data.
There are several deductions I can infer from the lack of agreement,
government admission or physical evidence that such things are real that, if
verified, may lead to a workable solution to this mystery:
deduction:
In spite of an enormous collection of subjective, circumstantial and objective
"evidence" of extraterrestrial activity on and around Earth, the existence,
intentions and the activities of extraterrestrials remain hidden and
mysterious.
deduction:
Universally agreed upon proof of extraterrestrial life based on subjective
data, government admission, physical and circumstantial evidence are
subject to conflicting vested interests, which has made such proof
unattainable.
Collectively, these deductions beg the obvious question:
If extraterrestrials life forms exist, why is there no consistent, forthright ,
open, interactive communication between Mankind and Extraterrestrials?
12
Fortunately, subjective reality does not require evidence or "proof".
Therefore, I decided to write this book in order to pass along a subjective
communication I received from Mrs. MacElroy to other people who may be
interested in it.
Personally, I am not assuming that anything I received from Mrs. MacElroy is
in any way authentic, with the exception of the envelope and the paper inside
the envelope. I cannot substantiate any of it. Indeed, I can't truly verify that
there was ever such a person as Mrs. MacElroy other than a voice I heard
over the phone in 1998. The voice could have been anyone. Personally, I
do not have a vested interest in UFO research. Yes, I've written a few books
about immortal spiritual beings -- because I'm interested in the subject. But I
haven't sold enough of those books to pay for the time it took to write them.
It is a hobby. I earn my living as a small business consultant.
It is not my intention to justify, explain, or remedy any disability to perceive or
understand the mysteries of extraterrestrial existence, UFOs, governments
agendas or spiritual abilities. Nor is it intended to educate, persuade, or
promote to anyone that any of these phenomena exist. Furthermore, what I
may or may not think about any of this is irrelevant.
Moreover, I have burned all of the original documents, including the envelope
I received from Mrs. MacElroy. I do not want to spend the rest of my life
being hounded by UFO researchers, government agents, grocery store
tabloids reporters, UFO advocates and de-bunkers alike, or anyone else.
Any "proofs" or attempts to authenticate the assertion that Mrs. MacElroy
actually interviewed an alien in 1947 will have to be done by others.
Ripley says, "Believe It, or Not". 3
(Footnote)
I say, "What's true for you, is true for you".

About The Source Of Material In This Book
The content of this book is primarily excerpted from the letter, interview
transcripts and personal notes I received from the late Matilda O'Donnell
MacElroy. Her letter to me asserts that this material is based on her
recollection of communication with an alien being, who "spoke" with her
telepathically. During July and August of 1947 she interviewed an
extraterrestrial being who she identifies as "Airl", and whom she claims was
and continues to be an officer, pilot and engineer who was recovered from a
flyer saucer that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico on July 8th, 1947.
Obviously, anyone reading anything about this most famous, or infamous, of
all "flying saucer" or "alien encounter" events must necessarily be highly
suspicious regarding 1) the authenticity of the report and 2) the credibility of
the source of information, especially when it appears for the first time sixty
years after the alleged event!
I received the aforementioned letter from Mrs. MacElroy on September 14th,
2007, together with a package of documents. The package contained three
types of documents:
1) hand-written notes in cursive on ordinary, lined, 8 1/2" X 11"school
notebook paper, which I assume had been written personally by Mrs.
MacElroy.
2) notes typed on a manual typewriter on plain, white 20 lb. bond paper,
which I am assume were prepared personally by her. At least both had the
appearance of having been written in the same hand writing, and / or typed
on the same typewriter consistently throughout. The writing in the notes I
received also appeared to be the same as the writing on the address and
return address of the manila envelope I received from Navan, Ireland, which
was postmarked on 3 September, 2007. Since I am not a forensic expert, or
handwriting analyst, my opinion in these matter is not a professionally
qualified judgment.
3) many pages of typewritten transcriptions of her interview with the alien.
These were obviously typed on a different typewriter. These pages were
typed on a different type of paper and showed apparent signs of age and
repeated handling.
14
None of these notes were assembled in any particular order, or by date,
except where indicated by a sentence or paragraph of preamble or
explanation by her, or by extrapolation from the context of the pages.
Voltaire 4 (Footnote) is quoted as having said: "History is a Mississippi of lies".
According to the comments made by the alien in the interview transcripts,
supplied by Mrs. MacElroy, the fundamental lesson of history is that many,
many gods have become men, but very few men, if any, have returned to
being a god again.
According to the alien being -- "Airl" -- if anything he / she / it supposedly
communicated can be trusted -- and if the "translation" or interpretation of
this alleged communication is accurate, the history of this universe is a "River
of Lies" down which the might and freedom of all-powerful, god-like, immortal
spiritual beings ended and was lost in a Sea of Matter and Mortality.
Furthermore, according to the very direct and undiplomatic statements made
-- which seem to express the "personal opinion" of the alien -- if one were
traveling the far reaches of the universe in search of a place called "Hell", it
would be an accurate description of Earth and the inhabitants in its current
condition.
To further compound, complicate and magnify the "incredible" source of the
"interview transcriptions" I received from Mrs. MacElroy is the fact that they
are:
1) based almost entirely on "telepathic communication" between the alien
and Mrs. MacElroy.
2) many of these interviews discuss "paranormal" activities of "immortal
spiritual beings".
Of course, most "scientific authorities" are unwilling to acknowledge or
perceive spiritual phenomena of any kind.
The dictionary definition of the word paranormal is:
adjective:
1. cannot be explained by scientific methods
2. supernatural, or seemingly outside "normal" sensory channels
By definition, people who use the word "paranormal" are 1) not able to
explain spiritual phenomena and 2) spiritual phenomena are outside of their
normal sensory channels.
15
In short, scientists suffer from the inability and/or unwillingness to
perceive and/or explain spiritual activities. Therefore, the discussion of
spiritual activities or spiritual universes in this book are expected to be
understood only by those who can and will perceive such things.
According to the time spans related by the alien in several of the interviews,
there are a number of compelling and heretofore unknown reasons that
suggest the possibility that many extraordinary miscalculations have been
made by Earth scientists regarding the origins and antiquity of the universe,
Earth, life forms and events. Of course, these may or may not be accurate
either, as time and it's ugly step-child, history, are largely subjective.
However, it can be observed that, by contrast with interstellar or
"macrocosmic time", the historical perspective of residents of Earth is limited
to a relatively microscopic period of time, compared to what are considered
to be "recent events" in the chronology of an space travel civilization, much
less the entire time span of the universe.
The geological record of Earth is reckoned, by the best guesses of scientists,
to be only about 4 billion years. The antiquity of homo sapiens in the
archaeology textbooks is estimated at only a few million years, at most. Even
the entire biological spectrum is considered to have existed on this planet for
only a few hundred million years. And, by and large, the personal memory of
individual beings on this planet is limited to only one lifetime.
All other dates, events, or interpretations of events cited in this book are from
terrestrial sources, which are purely subjective observations, conjectures, or
inventions of human beings, including those of the author, and must
therefore be credited or disregarded by the reader accordingly, considering
the penchant of Earth inhabitants to myopia, egocentricity, and general
ignorance of the several universes in which we dwell.
This book is intended to be an informal presentation of information provided
to me, sixty years after the fact, of a series of interviews between an alien
space craft officer, pilot & engineer and an Army Air Force surgical nurse.

Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy
Biographical Information
Since I have never met Mrs. MacElroy in person, and spoke with her over the
phone only once for about 20 minutes, I can not vouch personally for her as
a credible source of information. In fact, I cannot factually substantiate that
such a person actually existed, accept that I did speak with her on the phone
and I received hand-written material in the mail which was sent from a
physical address in Ireland.
When I spoke to her on the phone in 1998, I was living in Florida. At the time
of our brief phone interview, Mrs. MacElroy lived on Scotty Pride Drive in
Glasgow, Montana. I know this because I mailed a copy of my book, The Oz
Factors, to her as a gift after it was published in 1999. I am sure she
received the book, because she refers to it by name in the letter I received
from Ireland, and says that she read it.
I did a little research on the internet about Glasgow, Montana for my own
interest. Glasgow was founded in 1887 as a railroad town that became
popular during the 1930s because President FDR requested that Fort Peck
Dam be constructed there which became a huge source of employment for
the Glasgow area. In the 1960s the population flourished up to 12,000
because of Glasgow Air Force Base (SAC), which was used during the
Vietnam conflict and the earlier part of the 'Cold War'. The base was
deactivated and closed in 1969.
When I talked to Mrs. MacElroy on the phone she mentioned that she had
been relocated there by the U.S. Air Force after her service was completed,
and that's where she met her husband, who was an engineer. I don't think
she mentioned his first name. However, he worked on building the Fort Peck
Dam, which created the massive Fort Peck Lake. Although the dam was
finished in 1940, he was a great fisherman and outdoorsman, so he stayed in
the area. I gathered that the Irish heritage of the place had something to do
with it, but didn't pursue that point with her. I haven't been able to find any
record of a "MacElroy" who worked at the dam, but the personnel records
from that period are virtually non-existent as far as I can determine.
I contacted her during my research for The Oz Factors book because I was
led to believe, through a very circuitous line of investigation, that this women
17
was suspected of having been involved with alien contact at Area 51, or the
Roswell crash site, or something similar.
Through a sequence of circumstantial inferences and accidental referrals, I
actually found her number in the phone book and called her up just on the
chance that there might really be such a person.
Needless to say, when I called her she was less than forthcoming in her
response to my questions. However, I think she was impressed by my
genuine and innocent sincerity to get information for my book, and realized
that I had no nefarious or financially motivated purposes or reason to exploit
her in any way. Nonetheless, she did not give me any useful information at
that time, except to say that she had been in the Army and was stationed in
New Mexico in 1947.
She could not discuss anything whatsoever about any kind of incident, as her
life depended on remaining silent. Although this piqued my interest even
more, it was futile to try to push her any further, so I gave up and forgot about
her until last September, when I got the package from Ireland.
I tried to contact her in Ireland at the return address on the package, but
received no reply from her, nor have I been able to find anyone in Meath
County, Ireland who was acquainted with either of them except the landlady
from whom they rented a room for a few weeks before their deaths, which
seemed to have occurred simultaneously, although I have no real evidence
of this.
However, the post mark of the envelope she sent to me was stamped at the
post office in Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on the date sited above. Since there
is an actual residence (according to Google Maps) at the return address
shown on the envelope, I wrote to the address and was advised by the home
owner that both Mrs. MacElroy and her husband, whose name turns out to
have been "Paul", were both recently deceased. She said that the cremated
remains of Mrs. MacElroy and her husband were interred at Saint Finian
Cemetery on Athboy Road.
Subsequently, I have not been able to find any record of her under the
maiden name of O'Donnell, nor have I had any success at discovering any
personal friend, family member or document to confirm her birth, medical
education, or military record, marriage or death, with the exception of her
landlady in Ireland (who is not a relative) just before her death. I suspect that
this is the false identity given to her by the military when she left Roswell, as
mentioned in her notes.
In either case, it seems likely that her identity and all evidence of her has
been expunged from the public record. I understand that certain government
18
agencies are adept at covering up evidence, or making records (and people)
disappear. It seems likely that this has been done in her case, due to the
highly sensitive nature of the Roswell incident and consistent with the rest of
the alleged "cover up".
Inasmuch as I do not have any further information to verify or substantiate
that any of the notes of these "interviews" sent to me by Mrs. MacElroy are in
any way factual, other than what I have already mentioned, let the reader
beware, and take heed accordingly!

The Letter from Mrs. MacElroy
_______________________________________________________________
August 12, 2007
Dear Lawrence,
I am typing this letter to you on my old Underwood
typewriter that I bought after I was discharged from the
Army. Somehow it seems like a fitting contrast to the
subject of this letter and the documents you will find
enclosed in this envelope.
The last time I spoke to you was about eight years ago.
During your brief telephone interview with me you asked
me to assist you with the research for "The Oz Factors"
book you were writing because you suspected that I might
know something that would help your investigation into
the possibility that extraterrestrial beings may have
influenced the history of Earth. When we spoke, I told
you that I did not have any information that I could
share with you about anything.
Since then I have read your book and found it very
interesting and compelling. You are obviously a man who
has done his homework, and who could understand my own
experiences. I've been thinking a lot about your
allusion to the old philosopher whom you paraphrased in
our phone conversation: "with great power, comes great
responsibility". Although I don't think power is
pertinent in my life or to my reasons for sending you
the enclosed documents, you certainly did get me
thinking about my responsibility.
I have reconsidered my position, for a variety of
reasons, not the least of which is my realization that
you were right. I do have a responsibility to myself,
at least. I can not possibly tell you the personal Hell 5
(Footnote) of ethical irresolution and spiritual ambivalence
I have endured since 1947. I do not want to keep playing
the game of "maybe I should have, or maybe I shouldn't
have", through the rest of Eternity!
20
Many men have been killed to extinguish the possibility
of revealing the knowledge I have helped to withhold
from society, until now. Only a small handful of people
on Earth have seen and heard what I have had the burden
of keeping secret for sixty years. All those years I
thought that I had been entrusted with a great deal of
confidence by the "powers that be" in our government,
although I have often felt that power is greatly
misguided, to "protect" Mankind from the certain
knowledge that, not only do intelligent extraterrestrial
life forms exist, but that they have and continue to
aggressively monitor and invade the lives of everyone on
Earth every day.
Therefore, I think the time has come to pass along my
secret knowledge to someone I think will understand it.
I don't think it would be responsible of me to take the
knowledge I have into the silent afterlife, beyond reach
or recognition. I think there is a greater good to be
served than protecting the "vested interests" for whom
this information is considered a matter of "national
security", whatever that means, and is therefore
justification for making it "TOP SECRET". 6
(Footnote)
Also, I am now 83 years old. I have decided to leave
this body, which has outlasted it's usefulness to me,
using a painless method of self-administered euthanasia. 7
(Footnote) I have a very few months to live, and nothing to
fear or lose.
So, I have moved away from Montana, where my husband and
I lived for most of my life, to spend our remaining days
in a lovely rented upstairs bedroom in a house in the
homeland of my husband's family in County Meath,
Ireland. 8
(Footnote)
I will die not far from "The Great Mound" at Knowth
9
(Footnote),and Dowth, the "Fairy Mound of Darkness". These
are sacred "cairns" or massive stone structures that
were erected about 3,700 BCE and engraved with
indecipherable hieroglyphs -- about the same time as
pyramids and other inexplicable stone monuments were
being built all over the Earth.
I am also not far from "The Hill of Tara", 10 (Footnote) that
was once the ancient seat of power in Ireland where 142
kings are said to have reigned in prehistoric and
21
historic times. In ancient Irish religion and mythology
this was the sacred place of dwelling for the "gods" and
was the entrance to the "other world".
Saint Patrick came to Tara to conquer the ancient
religion of the pagans. He may have suppressed the
religious practices in the area, but he certainly did
not have any impact on the "gods" who brought these
civilizations to Earth, as you will discover when you
read the documents enclosed. Therefore, this is a
fitting location for my departure from this unholy world
and final release from the burdens of this life.
The crystal clear perspective of hindsight has revealed
a higher purpose to me: assisting the survival of the
planet, all living beings and life forms in our galaxy!
The status quo of our government establishment has been
to "protect the people" from knowledge of such matters.
In fact, the only protection afforded by ignorance and
secrecy is to hide the private agenda of those in power
to enslave others. And, by doing so, to disarm every
perceived enemy, and ally, through superstition and
stupidity.
Therefore, I have enclosed the original and only
existing copies of my personal notes and reflections on
a matter which I have kept hidden from everyone, even my
own family. I have also enclosed my copies of typed
transcripts created by the stenographer who transcribed
all of my interviews with the alien saucer pilot after
each interview was finished. I do not have any copies
of the tape recordings that were made of my interview
reports. No one, until now, knows that I was able to
secretly retain copies of the official interview
transcripts.
Now I am entrusting these documents to your discretion
to impart to the world in any form or manner you see
fit. My only request is that you do so in a way that
will not threaten your own life or well being, if
possible. If you were to incorporate these notes of my
experiences into a work of fiction, such as a novel, the
factual nature of the material could be easily dismissed
or discredited by any agency for whom "national
security" is used as a personal shield against scrutiny
and justice.
22
In so doing, you could "disavow any knowledge" of their
true origin, and claim that it is a fictitious work of
your imagination. Whoever said that "truth is stranger
than fiction" was "right as rain". For most people all
of this will be "unbelievable". Unfortunately, beliefs
are not a reliable criteria for reality.
Also, I am sure that if you were to show these notes to
anyone that would prefer physical, economic or spiritual
slavery over freedom, the subject matter contained in
them would seem quite objectionable. If you attempted
to published the documents as a matter of factual
reporting in a newspaper or on the evening TV news they
would be rejected out of hand as the work of a kook.
The very nature of these documents make them
unbelievable, and therefore discreditable. Conversely,
the release of this information is potentially
catastrophic for certain political, religious and
economic vested interests.
These documents contain information which is quite
relevant to your interest and investigations into alien
encounters and paranormal experience. To use your
analogy in "The Oz Factors" book, I can honestly say
that the few factual reports that have been made by
others about "alien" influences are only a gentle breeze
in the eye of an Apocalyptic Hurricane swirling around
Earth. There really are wizards and wicked witches and
flying monkeys in this universe!
This information, which has been suspected and/or
speculated upon by so many for so long, has been
constantly denied by mainstream media, academia, and the
Military-Industrial Complex 11 (Footnote) that President
Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address.
As you known in July,1947,the Roswell Army Air Field
(RAAF) 12 (Footnote) issued a press release stating that
personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had
recovered a crashed "flying disc" from a ranch near
Roswell, New Mexico, sparking intense media interest. 13
(Footnote)
Later the same day, the Commanding General of the Eighth
Air Force 14 (Footnote) stated that Major Jesse Marcel, who
was involved with the original recovery of the debris,
had recovered only the tattered remnants of a weather
23
balloon. The true facts of the incident have been
suppressed by the United States government since then.
You may not know that I was enlisted in the U.S. Women's
Army Air Force(WAC) 15 (Footnote) Medical Corp which was a
part of the US Army back then. I was assigned to the
509th Bomb Group as a Flight Nurse 16 (Footnote)at the time
of the incident.
When the news that there had been a crash was received
at the base, I was asked to accompany Mr. Cavitt, the
Counter Intelligence Officer, 17 (Footnote) to the crash site
as the driver of his vehicle, and to render any needed
emergency medical assistance to any survivors, if
necessary. 18 (Footnote) Therefore, I briefly witnessed the
wreckage of an alien space craft, as well as the remains
of the several alien personnel aboard the craft who were
already dead.
When we arrived I learned that one of the personnel on
board the craft had survived the crash, and was
conscious, and apparently uninjured. The conscious
alien was similar in appearance, but not the same as,
the others. 19 (Footnote)
None of the other personnel present could communicate
with the survivor, as the being did not communicate
verbally or by any recognizable signs. However, while I
examined the "patient" for injuries I immediately
detected and understood that the alien being was
attempting to communicate with me by "mental images", or
"telepathic thought", 20 (Footnote) which projected directly
from the mind of the being.
I immediately reported this phenomenon to Mr. Cavitt. As
no other person present could perceive these thoughts,
and the alien seemed able and willing to communicate
with me, it was decided, after a brief consultation with
a senior officer, that I would accompany the surviving
alien back to the base.
This was partly due to the fact that I was a nurse, and
could attend to the physical needs of the alien, as well
as serve as a non-threatening communicator and
companion. After all, I was the only woman at the site
and the only one who was not armed. I was thereafter
assigned permanently to serve as a "companion" of the
alien at all times. 21 (Footnote)
24
My duty was to communicate with and interview the alien
and to make a complete report of all that I discovered
to command authorities. Subsequently, I was supplied
with specific lists of questions provided to me by
military and non-military personnel, which I was to
"interpret" for the alien, and record the responses to
the questions provided.
I also accompanied the alien at all times during medical
testing and the many other examinations to which the
alien was subjected by staff from numerous government
agencies.
I was given a promotion in rank to Senior Master
Sergeant to improve my security rating, and to increase
my pay grade from $54.00 a month to $138.00 a month, for
this very unusual assignment. I performed these duties
from July 7th through August,1947,at which time the
alien "died" or departed the "body", as you will read
about in my notes.
Although I was never left entirely alone with the alien,
as there were always military personnel, intelligence
agency people and a variety of other officials present
from time to time, I did have uninterrupted access to
and communication with the alien being for nearly six
weeks.
Hereinafter is an overview and summary of my personal
recollections of "conversations" with the alien craft
pilot, whom I came to know by the identity of "Airl".
I feel that it is my duty at this time, in the best
interest of the citizens of Earth, to reveal what I have
learned from my interaction with "Airl" during those six
weeks, on the anniversary of her "death" or departure
sixty years ago.
Although I served as a nurse in the Army Air Force, I am
not a pilot or technician. Further, I did not have any
direct contact with the space craft or other materials
recovered from the crash site at that time, or
thereafter. To that degree it must be taken into
consideration that my understanding of the
communications I had with " Airl" are based on my own
subjective ability to interpret the meaning of the
thoughts and mental images I was able to perceive.
25
Our communication did not consist of "spoken language",
in the conventional sense. Indeed, the "body" of the
alien had no "mouth" through which to speak. Our
communication was by telepathy. At first, I could not
understand Airl very clearly. I could perceive images,
emotions and impressions, but it was difficult for me to
express these verbally. Once Airl learned the English
language, she was able to focus her thoughts more
precisely using symbols and meanings of words I could
understand. Learning the English language was done as a
favor to me. It was more for my own benefit than hers.
By the end of our interview sessions, and increasingly
since then, I have become more comfortable with
telepathic communication. I have become more adept at
understanding Airl's thoughts as though they are my own.
Somehow, her thoughts become my thoughts. Her emotions
are my emotions. However, this is limited by her
willingness and intention to share her own, personal
universe with me. She is able to be selective about
what communication I am allowed to receive from her.
Likewise, her experience, training, education,
relationships and purposes are uniquely her own.
This is the symbol of "The Domain"
The Domain is a race or civilization of which Airl, the
alien I interviewed, is an officer, pilot and engineer
serving in The Domain Expeditionary Force. The symbol
represents the origin and unlimited boundary of the
known universe, united and integrated into a vast
civilization under the control of The Domain.
Airl is currently stationed at a base in the asteroid
belt which she refers as a "space station" in the solar
system of Earth. First and foremost, Airl is herself.
Secondarily, she voluntarily serves as an Officer, Pilot
and Engineer in The Domain Expeditionary Force. In that
capacity she has duties and responsibilities, but she is
at leave to come and go as she pleases also.
Please accept this material and make it known to as many
people as possible. I repeat that it is not my
intention to endanger your life with the possession of
this material, nor do I really expect you to believe any
26
of it either. However, I do sense that you can
appreciate the value that such knowledge may have to
those who are willing and able to face the reality of
it.
Mankind needs to know the answers to questions which are
contained in these documents. Who are we? Where did we
come from? What is our purpose on Earth? Is Mankind
alone in the universe? If there is intelligent life
elsewhere why have they not contacted us?
It is vital that people understand the devastating
consequences to our spiritual and physical survival if
we fail to take effective action to undo the longstanding and pervasive effects of alien intervention on
Earth.
Perhaps the information in these documents will serve as
a stepping stone to a better future for Mankind. I hope
that you can be more clever, creative and courageous in
the distribution of this information than I have been.
May The Gods Bless You and Keep You.

Chapter One
My First Interview With The Alien
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"By the time the alien had been returned to the base I had already spent several hours
with her. As I mentioned, Mr. Cavitt told me to stay with the alien, since I was the
only person among us who could understand her communication. I could not
understand my ability to "communicate" with the being. I had never before that time
experienced telepathic communication with anyone.
The non-verbal communication I experienced was like the understanding you might
have when a child or a dog is trying to get you to understand something, but much,
much more direct and powerful! Even though there were no "words" spoken, or
signs made, the intention of the thoughts were unmistakable to me. I realized later
that, although I received the thought, I did not necessarily interpret it's meaning
exactly.
I think that the alien being was not willing to discuss technical matters, due to the
nature of her position as an officer and pilot with the duty to maintain the security
and confidentiality required by her own "unit" or organization. Any soldier who is
captured by the "enemy" in the line of duty has a responsibility to withhold vital
information, even in the face of interrogation or torture, of course.
But, in spite of that, I have always felt that the alien being was not really trying to
hide anything from me. I just never got that feeling. Her communication always
seemed honest and sincere to me. But, I suppose you can never know for sure. I
definitely feel that I shared a unique "bond" with the alien. It was a kind of "trust" or
empathy that you have with a patient, or a child. I think this is because the alien
could understand that I was really interested in "her" and had no harmful intention,
nor would I allow any harm to come to her, if I could prevent it. This was true too.
I refer to the alien as "her". Actually, the being was not sexual in any way, either
physiologically or psychologically. "She" did have a rather strong, feminine
presence and demeanor. However, in terms of physiology, the being was "asexual"
and had no internal or external reproductive organs. Her body was more like the
body of a "doll" or "robot". There were no internal "organs", as the body was not
constructed of biological cells. It did have a kind of "circuit" system or electrical
28
nervous system that ran throughout the body, but I could not understand how it
worked.
In stature and appearance the body was quite short and petite. About a 40 inches tall.
The head was disproportionately large, relative to arms, legs and torso, which where
thin. There were three "fingers" on each of two" hands" and "feet" which were
somewhat prehensile. 22 (Footnote) The head had no operational "nose" or "mouth"
or "ears". I understood that a space officer does not need these as space has no
atmosphere to conduct sound. Therefore, sound related sensory organs are not built
into the body. Nor does the body need to consume food, hence, the absence of a
mouth.
The eyes were quite large. I was never able to determine the exact degree of visual
acuity of which the eyes were capable, but I observed that her sense of sight must
have been extremely acute. I think the lenses of the eyes, which were very dark and
opaque, may also have been able to detect waves or particles beyond the visual
spectrum of light. 23 (Footnote) I suspect that this may have included the full range
of the electromagnetic spectrum, 24 (Footnote) or more, but I do not know this for
sure.
When the being looked at me her gaze seemed to penetrate right through me, as
though she had "x-ray vision". 25 (Footnote) I found this a little embarrassing, at first,
until I realized that she had no sexual intentions. In fact, I don't think she ever even
had the thought that I was male or female.
It become very obvious after a short time with the being that her body did not require
oxygen, food or water or any other external source of nutrition or energy. As I
learned later, this being supplied her own "energy", which animated and operated the
body. It seemed a little bit eerie at first, but I got used to the idea. It's really a very,
very simple body. There is not much to it, compared to our own bodies.
Airl explained to me that it was not mechanical, like a robot, nor was it biological. It
is animated directly by her as a spiritual being. Technically, from a medical
standpoint, I would say that Airl's body could not even be called "alive". Her "doll"
body is not a biological life form, 26 (Footnote) with cells, and so forth.
It had a smooth skin, or covering which was gray in color. The body was highly
tolerant to changes in temperature, atmospheric conditions, and pressure. The limbs
were quite frail, without musculature. In space there is no gravity, 27 (Footnote) so
very little muscle strength is needed. The body was used almost entirely on space
craft or in low, or no-gravity environments. Since Earth has a heavy gravity, the
body was not able to walk around very well as the legs were not really suited to that
purpose. The feet and hands were quite flexible and agile however.
Over night, before my first interview with the alien, the area had been transformed
into a buzzing hive of activity. There were a dozen men working on setting up lights
29
and camera equipment. A motion picture camera and microphone and a tape
recorder was there also set up in the "interview room". (I don't understand why a
microphone was needed, since there was no verbal communication possible with the
alien.) There was also a stenographer 28 (Footnote) and several people busily typing
on typewriters.
I was informed that an expert foreign language interpreter and a "code breaking"
team had been flown to the base during the night to assist with my efforts to
communicate with the alien. There were also several medical personnel --
specialists in various fields -- to examine the alien. And, a professor of psychology
was there to help formulate questions and "interpret" the answers. As I was just a
nurse, I was not considered to be a "qualified" interpreter, even though I was the only
one there who could understand anything the alien was thinking!
There were many subsequent conversations between us. Each "interview" resulted in
an exponential increase in understanding between us, as I will discuss later on in my
notes. This is the first transcript with the answers to a list of questions provided to
me by the intelligence officer at the base which I debriefed to the stenographer
immediately following the interview."

TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 9. 7. 1947
"QUESTION - "Are you injured?"
ANSWER -
NO
QUESTION - "What medical assistance do you require?"
ANSWER -
NONE
QUESTION - "Do need food or water or other
sustenance?"
ANSWER -
NO
30
QUESTION - "Do you have any special environmental
needs, such as air temperature, atmospheric chemical
content, air pressure, or waste elimination?"
ANSWER -
NO. I AM NOT A BIOLOGICAL BEING.
QUESTION - "Does your body or space craft carry any
germs or contamination that may be harmful to humans
or other Earth life forms?"
ANSWER -
NO GERMS IN SPACE.
QUESTION - "Does your government know you are here?"
ANSWER -
NOT AT THIS TIME
QUESTION - "Are others of your kind going to come
looking for you?"
ANSWER -
YES
QUESTION - "What is the weapons capability of your
people?"
ANSWER -
VERY DESTRUCTIVE.
I did not understand the exact nature of the kind of
arms or weapons that they might have, but I did not
feel that there was any malevolent intention in her
reply, just a statement of fact.
QUESTION - "Why did your space craft crash?"
ANSWER -
31
IT WAS STRUCK BY AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE FROM THE
ATMOSPHERE WHICH CAUSED US TO LOSE CONTROL.
QUESTION - "Why was your space craft in this area?"
ANSWER -
INVESTIGATION OF "BURNING CLOUDS" / RADIATION /
EXPLOSIONS 29 (Footnote)
QUESTION - "How does your space craft fly?"
ANSWER -
IT IS CONTROLLED THROUGH "MIND". RESPONDS TO
"THOUGHT COMMANDS".
"Mind" or "thought command" are the only English
language words I can think of to describe the
thought. Their bodies, and I think, the space craft,
are connected directly to them through some kind of
electrical "nervous system" that they control with
their own thoughts.
QUESTION - "How do your people communicate with each
other?"
ANSWER -
THROUGH MIND /THOUGHT.
The words "mind" and "thought" combined together are
the closest English language words I can think of to
describe the idea at this time. However, it was very
obvious to me that they communicate directly from the
mind, just as she is communicating with me.
QUESTION - "Do you have a written language or symbols
for communication?"
ANSWER -
YES
QUESTION - "What planet are you from?"
ANSWER -
32
THE HOME / BIRTHPLACE WORLD OF THE DOMAIN
Since I am not an astronomer, I have no way of
thinking in terms of stars, galaxies, constellations
and directions in space. The impression I received
was of a planet in the center of a huge cluster of
galaxies that is to her like "home", or "birthplace".
The word "domain" is the closest word I can think of
to describe her concept, images and thoughts about
where she is from. It could as easily be called the
"territory" or the "realm". However, I am sure that
it was not just a planet or a solar system or a
cluster of stars, but an enormous number of galaxies!
QUESTION - "Will your government send representatives
to meet with our leaders?"
ANSWER -
NO
QUESTION - "What are your intentions concerning
Earth?"
ANSWER -
PRESERVE / PROTECT PROPERTY OF THE DOMAIN
QUESTION - "What have you learned about Earth
governments and military installations?"
ANSWER -
POOR / SMALL. DESTROY PLANET.
QUESTION - "Why haven't your people made your
existence known to the people of Earth?"
ANSWER -
WATCH / OBSERVE. NO CONTACT.
I got the impression that contact with people on
Earth was not permitted, but I could not think of a
word or idea that communicated the impression I got
exactly. They are just observing us.
33
QUESTION - "Have your people visited Earths
previously?"
ANSWER -
PERIODIC / REPEATING OBSERVATIONS.
QUESTION - "How long have you known about Earth?"
ANSWER -
LONG BEFORE HUMANS.
I am not sure if the word "prehistoric" would be more
accurate, but it was definitely a very long period of
time before human beings evolved.
QUESTION - "What do you know about the history of
civilization on Earth?"
ANSWER -
SMALL INTEREST / ATTENTION. SMALL TIME.
The answer to this question seemed very vague to me.
However, I perceived that her interest in Earth
history is not very strong or that she did not pay
much attention to it. Or, maybe, ... I don't know.
I didn't really get an answer to the question.
QUESTION - "Can you describe your home world to us?"
ANSWER -
PLACE OF CIVILIZATION / CULTURE / HISTORY. LARGE
PLANET. WEALTH / RESOURCES ALWAYS. ORDER. POWER.
KNOWLEDGE / WISDOM. TWO STARS. THREE MOONS.
QUESTION - "What is the state of development of your
civilization?"
ANSWER -
ANCIENT. TRILLIONS OF YEARS. ALWAYS. ABOVE ALL
OTHERS. PLAN. SCHEDULE. PROGRESS. WIN. HIGH GOALS
/ IDEAS.
34
I use the number "trillions" 30 (Footnote) because I am
sure that the meaning was a number larger than many
billions. The idea of the length of time she
communicated is beyond me. It's really closer to
the idea of "infinity" in terms of Earth years.
QUESTION - "Do you believe in God?"
ANSWER -
WE THINK. IT IS. MAKE IT CONTINUE. ALWAYS.
I am sure that the alien being does not understand
the concept of "god" or "worship" as we do. I assume
that the people in her civilization were all
atheists. My impression was that they think very
highly of themselves and are very prideful indeed!
QUESTION - "What type of society do you have?"
ANSWER -
ORDER. POWER. FUTURE ALWAYS. CONTROL. GROW.
These are the closest words I could use to describe
the idea she had about her own society or
civilization. Her "emotion" when communicating her
response to this question became very intense, very
bright and emphatic! Her thought was filled with an
emotion that gave me a feeling of jubilation or joy.
But, it made me very nervous also.
QUESTION - "Are there other intelligent life forms
besides yourself in the universe?"
ANSWER -
EVERYWHERE. WE ARE GREATEST / HIGHEST OF ALL.
Due to her small stature, I am sure that she did not
mean "tallest" or "biggest". Again, her prideful
"nature" showed through in the feeling I received
from her."
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
35
"This was the conclusion of the first interview. When the answers to the first
list of questions were typed and given to the people who were waiting for them,
they were very excited that I was able to get the alien to say anything!
However, after they finished reading my answers they were disappointed that I
could not understand more clearly. Now they had a lot of new questions
because of the answers I received to the first list of questions.
An officer told me to await further instructions. I waited for several hours in the
adjoining office. I was not allowed to continue my "interview" with the alien.
However, I was always well treated and allowed to eat and sleep and use the
restroom facilities whenever I wanted.
Eventually, a new list of questions was written for me to ask the alien. I
gathered that quite a few other agents, government and military officials had
arrived at the base by this time. They told me that several other people would be
in the room with me during the next interview so they could prompt me to ask
for more details during the interview. However, when I attempted to conduct
the interview with these people in the room, I received no thoughts, emotions or
any other perceptible communication from the alien. Nothing. The alien just sat
in a chair without moving.
We all left the interview room. The intelligence agent became very agitated
about this. He accused me of lying or making up the answers to the first
questions. I insisted that my answers were honest, and as accurate as I could
make them!
Later that day, it was decided that several other people would attempt to ask
questions of the alien. However, in spite of several attempts by different
"experts", no one else was ever able to get any communication at all from the
alien.
Over the next several days a psychic research scientist from back East was
flown to the base to interview the alien. Her name was Gertrude something or
other. I don't recall the last name. 31 (Footnote) On another occasion an Indian
clairvoyant named Krishnamurti 32 (Footnote) came to the base to try to
communicate with the alien . Neither one was successful at getting the alien to
communicate anything. I was personally not able to communicate telepathically
with either of these people either, although I did think that Mr. Krishnamurti
was a very kind and intelligent gentleman.
Finally, it was decided that I should be left with the alien by myself to see if I
could get any answers."
36
Chapter Two
My Second Interview
"In the next interview I was told to ask the alien only one question."
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 10. 7. 1947
"QUESTION - "Why have you stopped communicating?"
ANSWER -
NO STOP. OTHERS. HIDDEN / COVERED. SECRET FEAR.
The alien can not communicate with them because they
were afraid of her, or do not trust her. And, it is
clear to me that the alien is very aware that some
people have secret intentions toward her and are hiding
their real thoughts. It is equally obvious to me that
the alien does not have even a tiny bit of fear of us,
or anything else, for that matter!"
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"I pondered the words I chose to convey the meaning of the aliens thoughts very
carefully before reporting to the stenographer and the people who were waiting
anxiously in the other room.
Personally, I never suffered any fear or misapprehension about the alien
whatsoever. I was very, very curious and excited to learn anything and
everything I could about her and from her. However, like the alien, I did not
have much trust or confidence in the agents or "authorities" who were
37
controlling my interviews. I had no idea what their intentions toward her might
be. However, I am sure that the military officers were very, very nervous about
having an alien space craft and pilot on their hands!
At that moment, my greatest worry was how to more clearly understand the
thoughts and ideas of the alien. I think that I was doing pretty well as a
telepathic "receiver", but not as good as telepathic "sender".
I wanted desperately to figure out a better way to communicate with the alien in
a way that would enable the growing legion of government officials to
understand her more directly, without having to rely on my interpretation of her
thoughts. I did not feel very well qualified to act as an interpreter, yet I was the
only person with whom the alien would communicate, so it was up to me to get
the job done.
I was also becoming acutely aware that this was probably the biggest "news
event" in the history of Earth, and that I should be proud to have any part in it.
Of course by that time the entire incident had been officially denied in the press
and a cover-up of immense proportions by the military and the "powers that be"
33 (Footnote) had already begun.
However, I was beginning to feel the pressure of the responsibility for being the
first person on Earth, as far as I knew, to communicate with an extraterrestrial
life form! I think I know how Columbus 34 (Footnote) must have felt when he
discovered a "new world" the size of a continent on one small planet. But, I was
about to discover an entirely new, unexplored universe! 35 (Footnote)
While I waited for my next instructions from my superiors I went to my
quarters, under escort of several heavily armed MPs. Several other men dressed
in black suits and ties accompanied me also. They were still there when I got up
in the morning. After breakfast, which was brought to me in my own quarters,
they escorted me back to the office at the base that was used for the interview."
38
Chapter Three
My Third Interview
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"The third interview, and all subsequent interviews that I had with the alien were
observed and recorded, as I mentioned above, by dozens of other people.
Although they were not physically present, a special room had been constructed
with a window of one-way glass through which the interview could be observed
from an adjoining room, without intruding on the alien.
The alien had been moved into the newly constructed room and was seated in an
ordinary overstuffed living room chair covered with a flowery fabric. I'm sure
that someone had been sent into town to buy a chair from the nearest available
furniture store. The aliens body was about the same size as a very thin 5 year
old child, so she was dwarfed by the chair.
Since her body was not biological it didn't need any food, air or heat, and
apparently, she didn't sleep either. There were no eyelids, or eyebrows above
her eyes, so the eyes didn't close. I don't think anyone could tell whether she was
sleeping or awake as long as she was sitting upright in the chair. Unless she
moved her body or gestured with her hand, it would be hard to tell whether she
was even alive or not, unless you could perceive her thoughts.
Eventually, I learned that the alien was not identified by her body, but by her
"personality", so to speak. She was known by her fellow aliens as "Airl". This
is the closest word I can use to describe the name using the English alphabet. I
sensed that she preferred the feminine gender. I think we shared a natural,
female empathy and nurturing attitude toward life and each other. I am sure she
did not feel comfortable with the combative, aggressive, domineering attitude of
the male officers and agents, each of whom was more concerned with their own
personal self-importance and power than with discovering the secrets of the
universe!
When I entered the room, she was very pleased to see me. I felt a very genuine
sense of recognition, relief and a "warm" feeling from her. It was like the eager
excitement and unconditional, platonic affection one feels from a dog or child,
yet with a calm and reserved control. I must say that I was surprised that I felt
the same sort of affection for the alien being, especially since we had spent so
39
little time with each other. I was pleased that I was able to continue my
interviews with her in spite of all the attention it was getting from the stream of
government and military people arriving at the base.
It was very obvious that the people who wrote the next series of questions for
me wanted to learn how to communicate with the alien themselves, without
having to go through me.
Here are the answers to the new list of questions:"

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

which is the star of your home planet? 36 (Footnote)
ANSWER -
NO.
This is not because she does not know the directions
from Earth to her home planet. She was unwilling to
reveal the location. It was also due to the fact that
the star system of her home planet does not exist on
any star map on Earth. It is too far away.
QUESTION - How long will it take your people to locate
you here?
ANSWER -
UNKNOWN.
QUESTION - How long would it take your people to
travel here to rescue you?
ANSWER -
MINUTES OR HOURS.
41
QUESTION - How can we make them understand that we do
not intend to harm you?
ANSWER -
INTENTIONS ARE CLEAR. SEE IN YOUR MIND / IMAGES /
FEELINGS.
QUESTION - If you are not a biological entity, why do
you refer to yourself as feminine?
ANSWER -
I AM A CREATOR. MOTHER. SOURCE."
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"These questions took me only a few minutes to complete. I realized then that
we may be in for some serious trouble if the alien was not willing to cooperate,
or reveal any information that the military or intelligence agencies or scientists
considered to be useful to them.
I was also sure that the alien was very certain of the actual intentions of the
people who wrote these questions, as she could "read their minds" just as easily
as she could read my thoughts and communicate with me telepathically. Because
of these intentions, she was unwilling and unable to cooperate with any of them
in any way, under any circumstances. I am equally sure that since she was not a
biological life form, that there was no kind of torture or coercion that would
change her mind!"

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

SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 11. 7. 1947, 3rd Session
"QUESTION - "What assurance or proof do you require
from us that will make you feel safe enough to answer
our questions."
ANSWER -
ONLY SHE SPEAKS. ONLY SHE HEARS. ONLY SHE
QUESTIONS. NO OTHERS. MUST LEARN / KNOW /
UNDERSTAND."
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"When I returned from the interview room to report the alien response to this
question I received a grim and skeptical reception from the assembled
intelligence agents and military personnel. They could not understand what the
alien meant by this.
43
I admitted that I couldn't really understand what she meant either, but I was
doing the best I could to articulate her telepathic intentions. I told the officials
that perhaps the communication problem had to do with my inability to
understand the telepathic language of the alien clearly enough to be satisfactory.
I was so discouraged at that point I almost felt like giving up!
And now, there was even more arguments than before! I was sure I was going
to be removed from my position, in spite of the fact that the alien refused to
communicate with anyone else, or that no one else had been found who could
communicate with her.
Fortunately, a very clever fellow named John Newble, who was a Japanese
language specialist from the Navy, 37 (Footnote) had an explanation and a
solution to the problem. He explained that, first, the problem had very little to
do with the inability of the alien to communicate. It had more to do with her
unwillingness to communicate with anyone other than myself. Second, in order
for any clear, comprehensive communication to happen, both parties needed to
understand and communicate through a common language.
Words and symbols in language convey very precise concepts and meanings.
He said that the Japanese people have a lot of homonyms 38 (Footnote) in their
language which cause a lot of confusion in day to day communication. They
solve this problem by using standard Chinese characters 39 (Footnote) to write
down the exact meanings of the word they are using. This clears up the matter
for them.
Without a defined nomenclature communication was not possible beyond the
rudimentary understanding between men and dogs, or between two small
children. The lack of a common vocabulary of clearly defined words that all
parties can use fluently, was the limiting factor in communication between all
people, groups, or nations.
Therefore, he suggested that there were only two choices. I had to learn to
speak the language of the alien, or the alien had to learn to speak English.
Factually only one choice was possible: that I persuade Airl to learn English,
and that I teach it to her with the guidance of the language specialist. No one
had any objection to trying this approach, as there were no other suggestions.
The language specialists suggested that I take several children's books, and a
basic reading primer, and grammar text with me into the interview room. The
plan was that I would sit next to the alien and read aloud to her from the books,
while pointing to the text I was reading with my finger so that she could follow
along.
The theory was that the alien could eventually be taught to read, just as a child is
taught to read by word and sound association with the written word, as well as
44
instruction in fundamental grammar. They also assumed, I think, that if the
alien was intelligent enough to communicate with me telepathically, and fly a
space craft across the galaxy, that she could probably learn to speak a language
as quickly as a 5 year old, or faster!
I returned to the interview room and proposed this idea to Airl. She did not
object to learning the language, although she did not make any commitment to
answer questions either. No one else had a better idea, so we went ahead."
45
Chapter Five
Reading Lessons
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"I began the reading lessons with the first pages of a school book that had been used
to teach pioneer children in the 1800s on the frontiers of America. It is called
"McGuffey's Eclectic Reader, Primer Through Sixth". 40 (Footnote)
Since I am a nurse, and not a teacher, the language expert who gave me the books
also gave me an extensive briefing -- a course that took an entire day -- on how to
use the books to teach the alien. He said the reason he chose these particular books
was because the original 1836 version of these books were used for three-quarters of
a century to teach about four-fifths of all American school children how to read. No
other books ever had so much influence over American children for so long.
McGuffey's educational course begins in "The Primer" by presenting the letters of
the alphabet to be memorized, in sequence. Children were then taught, step by step,
to use the building blocks of the language to form and pronounce words, using the
phonics method 41 (Footnote) which involves teaching children to connect sounds
with letters. Each lesson begins with a study of words used in the reading exercise
and with markings to show the correct pronunciation for each word.
I discovered that the stories in the "First and Second Readers" picture children in
their relationship with family members, teachers, friends, and animals. The "Third,
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Readers" expanded on those ideas. One of the stories I
remember was "The Widow and the Merchant". It's kind of a morality tale about a
merchant who befriends a widow in need. Later, when the widow proves herself to
be honest, the merchant gives her a nice gift. The books do not necessarily teach you
to believe that charity is expected only of wealthy people though. We all know that
generosity is a virtue that should be practiced by everyone.
All of the stories were very wholesome and they gave very good explanations to
illustrate virtues like honesty, charity, thrift, hard work, courage, patriotism,
reverence for God, and respect for parents. Personally, I would recommend this book
to anyone!
I also discovered that the vocabulary used in the book was very advanced compared
to the relatively limited number of words people use commonly in our modern age. I
46
think we have lost a lot of our own language since our Founding Fathers wrote the
Declaration of Independence over 200 years ago!
As instructed, I sat next to Airl in the interview room reading aloud to her from each
successive book in the series of McGuffey's Readers. Each of the books had
excellent, simple illustrations of the stories and subjects being taught, although they
are very outdated by today's standards. Nonetheless, Airl seemed to understand and
absorb every letter, sound, syllable and meaning as we progressed. We continued
this process for 14 hours a day for 3 consecutive days without interruption, except
for a few meals and rest breaks on my part.
Airl did not take breaks for anything. She did not sleep. Instead she remained sitting
in the overstuffed chair in the interview room, reviewing the lessons we had already
covered. When I returned each morning to begin where we'd left off, she had already
memorized the previous lessons and was well into the next pages. This pattern
continued to accelerate until it became pointless for me to continue reading to her.
Although Airl did not have a mouth to speak with, she was now able to "think" at me
in English. At the end of these lessons, Airl was able to read and study by herself. I
showed her how to use a dictionary to look up new words she encountered. Airl
consulted the dictionary continually after that. From then on my job was acting as a
courier for her, requesting that reference books be brought to her in a steady stream.
Next, Mr. Newble brought in a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. 42 (Footnote)
Airl especially enjoyed this because it had a lot of pictures. After that, she requested
many more picture books and reference books with photographs and drawings
because it was much easier to understand the meaning if she could see a picture of
the thing she was studying.
Over the next six days books were brought in from libraries all over the country, I
presume, because it wasn't more than a few more days before she had read through
several hundred of them! She studied every subject I could imagine, and many other
very technical things I never wanted to know anything about, like astronomy,
metallurgy, engineering, mathematics, various technical manuals, and so forth.
Later she began to read fiction books, novels, poetry and the classics of literature.
Airl also asked to read a great many books on subjects in the humanities, especially
history. I think she must had read at least 50 books about human history and
archaeology. Of course, I made sure that she received a copy of the Holy Bible also,
which she read from cover to cover without comment or questions.
Although I continued to stay with Airl for 12 to 14 hours each day, most of that time
during the following week had been spent without much communication between us,
except for an occasional question she asked me. The questions were usually meant
to give her a sense of context or to clarify something in the books she was reading.
Oddly, Airl told me that her favorite books are "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
47
43 (Footnote), "Don Quixote de la Mancha" 44 (Footnote) and "One Thousand and One
Nights" 45 (Footnote). She said the authors of these stories showed that it is more
important to have great spirit and imagination than great skill or power.
I could not answer a lot of her questions, so I consulted with the people in the outer
room for answers. Most of these had to do with technical and scientific things. A
few of her questions were about the humanities. The depth of complex
understanding and subtlety of her questions showed that she had a very penetrating
intellect.
Personally, I think she had already known a lot more about the culture and history of
Earth than she was willing to admit when we started. I would soon discover how
much more."
48
Chapter Six
My Education Begins
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"By the 15th day after "rescuing" Airl from the crash site, I was able to communicate
fluidly and effortlessly with her in English. She had absorbed so much written
material by this time that her academic education far exceeded my own. Although I
graduated from high school in Los Angeles in 1940 and attended college for four
years of premedical and nursing training, the variety of my own reading had been
fairly limited.
I had not studied most of the subjects to which Airl had now been exposed,
especially considering her acute understanding, very intense study habits and a
nearly photographic memory! She was able to recall long passages from books she
read. She was especially fond of sections of her favorite stories from classic
literature like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 46 (Footnote), tales from
Gulliver's Travels 47 (Footnote) and Peter Pan 48 (Footnote) and The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow 49 (Footnote).
By this time Airl had become the teacher, and I was the student. I was about to learn
what men of Earth do not know and have no way of knowing!
The throng of scientists and agents who observed us through the one-way glass of
our interview room, whom Airl and I now referred to as "the gallery", were growing
increasingly impatient to ask her questions. But Airl continued to refuse to allow
any questions to be asked of her by anyone other than myself, even vicariously
through me as an interpreter, or in writing.
On the afternoon of the 16th day Airl and I sat next to each other as she read. She
closed the last page of a book she was reading and placed it aside. I was about to
hand her the next book from a large pile waiting to be read, when she turned and said
or "thought" to me, "I am ready to speak now". At first I was a little confused by the
remark. I gestured for her to continue and she began to teach me my first lesson."

SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 24. 7. 1947, 1st Session
"What would you like to say, Airl?", I asked.
"I have been a part of the Domain Expeditionary Force in
this sector of space for several thousand years.
However, I have not personally had intimate contact with
beings on Earth since 5,965 BCE. It is not my primary
function to interact with inhabitants of planets within
The Domain. I am an Officer, Pilot and Engineer, with
many duties to perform. Nonetheless, although I am
fluent in 347 other languages within The Domain, I have
not been exposed to your English language.
The last Earth language with which I was conversant was
the Sanskrit language of the Vedic Hymns. 50 (Footnote) At
that time I was a member of a mission sent to
investigate the loss of a Domain base located in the
Himalaya Mountains. An entire battalion of officers,
pilots, communications and administrative personnel
disappeared and the base destroyed.
Several million years ago I was trained and served as an
Investigation, Data Evaluation and Program Development
Officer for The Domain. Because I was experienced in
that technology, I was sent to Earth as part of the
search team. One of my duties involved interrogation of
the human population that inhabited the adjoining area
at that time. 51 (Footnote) Many of the people in that region
reported sighting "vimanas" or space craft in the area. 52
(Footnote)
Following the logical extension of evidence, testimony,
observation, as well as the absence of certain evidence,
I led my team to the discovery that there were still
"Old Empire" ships and well-hidden "Old Empire"
installations in this solar system of which we had been
completely unaware.
50
You and I were unable to communicate in your language
because I, personally, have not been exposed to your
language. However, now that I have scanned the books and
material you provided me this data has been relayed to
our space station in this region and processed by our
communications officer through our computers. It has
been translated into my own language and relayed back to
me in a context that I can think with. I have also
received additional information from the files stored in
our computers about the English language and Domain
records concerning Earth civilization." 53 (Footnote)
"Now I am prepared to give you certain information that
I feel will be of great value to you. I will tell you
the truth. Although truth is relative to all other
truth, I wish to share with you as honestly and
accurately as possible, truth as I see it, within the
boundaries of my integrity to myself, to my race and
without violating my obligations to the organization I
serve and have sworn to uphold and protect".
"OK", I thought. "Will you answer questions from the
gallery now?"
"No. I will not answer questions. I will provide
information to you that I think will be beneficial to
the well-being of the immortal spiritual beings who
comprise humanity, and that will foster the survival of
all the myriad life forms and the environment of Earth,
as it is a part of my mission to ensure the preservation
of Earth.
"Personally, it is my conviction that all sentient
beings are immortal spiritual beings. This includes
human beings. For the sake of accuracy and simplicity I
will use a made-up word: "IS-BE". Because the primary
nature of an immortal being is that they live in a
timeless state of "is", and the only reason for their
existence is that they decide to "be".
No matter how lowly their station in a society, every
IS-BE deserves the respect and treatment that I myself
would like to receive from others. Each person on Earth
continues to be an IS-BE whether they are aware of the
fact or not."
51
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
(I will never forget this conversation. Her tone was very matter-of-fact and
emotionless. However, for the first time, I sensed the presence of a warm and real
"personality" in Airl. Her reference to "immortal spiritual beings" struck me like a
flash of light in a dark room. I had never before considered that a human being
could be an immortal being.
I thought that status or power was reserved solely for The Father, The Son, and The
Holy Ghost. And, because I am a devout Catholic and subject to the word of The
Lord Jesus, and The Holy Father, I have never thought of a woman as an immortal
spiritual being either -- not even the Holy Mother Mary. Yet, when Airl thought
that thought, I became vividly aware for the very first time that she, personally, was
an immortal spiritual being, and so are we all!
Airl said that she sensed that I was confused about the idea. She said she would
demonstrate to me that I am also an immortal spiritual being. She said, "Be above
your body!" Immediately, I realized that I was "outside" of my body, looking down
from the ceiling at the top of my body's head! 54 (Footnote) I was also able to see the
room around me, including Airl's body sitting in the chair next to my own body.
After a moment, I realized the simple, but shocking, reality, that "I" am not a body.
In that moment a black veil lifted and for the first time in my life, and for a very long
time into the past, I realized that I am not "my soul", but that "I" am "me" -- a
spiritual being. This was an unexplainable epiphany, but one that fills me with a joy
and relief I cannot recall having experienced ever before. As for the "immortal" part,
I do not understand her meaning, as I have always been taught that I am not immortal
-- a spirit, perhaps -- but certainly not immortal!
After a moment -- I'm not sure how long -- Airl asked me if I had a better
understanding of the idea. Suddenly, I was back inside my body again, and said out
loud, "Yes! I see what you mean!".
I was so taken aback by the experience that I had to get up from my chair and walk
around the room for a few minutes. I made an excuse that I needed to get a drink of
water, and go to the restroom, which I did. In the restroom I looked at my "self" in
the mirror. I used the toilet, refreshed my make-up, and straightened my uniform.
After 10 or 15 minutes I felt more "normal" again and returned to the interview
room.
After that I felt as though I was no longer just an interpreter for Airl. I felt as though
I was a "kindred spirit". I felt like I was safe, at home, with a trusted friend or
family member, as close as any I have ever had. Airl sensed and understood my
confusion about the concept of "personal immortality". She began her first "lesson"
with me by explaining this to me."
52
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW CONTINUED)
"Airl told me her reasons for coming to Earth and for
being in the area of the 509th Bomber Squadron. She was
sent by her superior officers to investigate the
explosions of nuclear weapons which have been tested in
New Mexico. Her superiors ordered her to gather
information from the atmosphere that could be used to
determine the extent of radiation and potential harm
this might cause to the environment. During her mission,
the space craft was struck by a lighting 55 (Footnote), which
caused her to lose control and crash.
The space craft is operated by IS-BEs who use "doll
bodies" in much the same way that an actor wears a mask
and costume. It is a like a mechanical tool through
which to operate in the physical world. She, as well as
all of the other IS-BEs of the officer class and their
superiors, inhabit these "doll bodies" when they are on
duty in space. When they are not on duty, they "leave"
the body and operate, think, communicate, travel, and
exist without the use of a body.
The bodies are constructed of synthetic materials,
including a very sensitive electrical nervous system, to
which each IS-BE adjusts themselves or "tune in" to an
electronic wavelength 56 (Footnote) that is matched uniquely
to the wavelength or frequency emitted by each IS-BE.
Each IS-BE is capable of creating a unique wave
frequency which identifies them, much like a radio
signal frequency. This serves, in part, as
identification like a finger print. The doll body acts
like a radio receiver for the IS-BE. No two frequencies
or doll bodies are exactly the same.
The bodies of each IS-BE crew member are likewise tuned
into and connected to the "nervous system" built into
the space craft. The space craft is built in much the
same way as the doll body. It is adjusted specifically
to the frequency of each IS-BE crew member. Therefore,
the craft can be operated by the "thoughts" or energy
emitted by the IS-BE. It is really a very simple,
direct control system. So, there are no complicated
controls or navigation equipment on board the space
craft. They operate as an extension of the IS-BE.
53
When the lightning bolt struck the space craft this
caused a short circuit and consequently "disconnected"
them from the control of the ship momentarily which
resulted in the crash.
Airl was, and still is, an officer, pilot and engineer
in an expeditionary force which is part of a space opera
57 (Footnote) civilization which refers to itself as "The
Domain". This civilization controls a vast number of
galaxies, stars, planets, moons and asteroids throughout
an area of space that is approximately one-fourth of the
entire physical universe! The continuing mission of her
organization is to "Secure, control and expand the
territory and resources of The Domain".
Airl pointed out that their own activities were very
similar in many ways to the European explorers who
"discovered" and "claimed" the New World for The Holy
Father, The Pope and for the kings of Spain, Portugal
and later, Holland, England, France and so forth. Europe
benefited from the property "acquired" from the native
inhabitants. However, the native inhabitants were never
consulted with or asked for their permission to become a
part of the "domain" of European nations and the
soldiers and priests they sent to acquire territory and
wealth in order to advance their interests.
Airl said she read in a history book that the Spanish
king regretted the brutal treatment of the native
inhabitants by his soldiers. He feared retribution from
the gods he worshipped, as described in the various
testaments of the Bible. He asked the Pope to prepare a
statement called "The Requirement" 58 (Footnote) which was
supposed to be read to each of the newly encountered
native inhabitants.
The king hoped that the statement, whether it was
accepted or rejected by the natives, would absolve the
King of all responsibility for the resulting slaughter
and enslavement of these people. He used this statement
as justification to confiscate their lands and
possessions by his soldiers and the Pope's priests.
Apparently, the Pope, personally, did not have any
feelings of guilt or responsibility in the matter.
Airl thought that such actions were those of a coward
and that it is no surprise that the territory of Spain
54
was diminished so quickly. Only a few years later the
king was dead and his empire had been assimilated by
other nations.
Airl said that this sort of behavior does not occur in
The Domain. Their leaders assume full responsibility
for the actions of The Domain, and would not denigrate
themselves in this fashion. Nor do they fear any gods
or have any regret for their actions. This idea
reinforces my earlier suggestion that Airl and her
people are probably atheists.
In the case of the acquisition of Earth by The Domain,
the rulers of The Domain have chosen not to openly
reveal this intention to the "native inhabitants" of
Earth until a later time when it may, or may not, suit
their interests to reveal themselves. For the present
time, it is not strategically necessary to make the
presence of The Domain Expeditionary Force known to
Mankind. In fact, until now, it has been very
aggressively hidden, for reasons that will be revealed
later.
The asteroid belt near Earth is a very small, but
important location for The Domain in this part of space.
Actually, some of the objects in our solar system are
very valuable for use as low-gravity "space stations".
They are interested primarily in the low gravity
satellites in this solar system which consists mainly of
the side of the moon facing away from Earth 59 (Footnote) and
the asteroid belt, which was a planet that was destroyed
billions of years ago, and to a lesser degree, Mars and
Venus. Doom structures synthesized from gypsum 60 (Footnote)
or underground bases covered by electromagnetic force
screens 61 (Footnote) are easily constructed to house the
Domain forces.
Once an area of space is acquired by The Domain and
becomes a part of the territory under its control, it is
treated as the "property" of The Domain. The space
station near the planet Earth is important only because
it lay along a path of The Domain expansion route toward
the center of the Milky Way galaxy and beyond. Of
course, everyone in The Domain is aware of this --
except for the people of Earth."

Chapter Seven
A Lesson In Ancient History
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"My instruction with Airl continued through the night until dawn of the next
morning. I must say, that I was fascinated, skeptical, shocked, alarmed, dismayed
and disgruntled by the "lesson" I was getting from Airl. I could never have imagined
any of what she was telling me -- not even in my wildest dreams and nightmares!
The next afternoon, after I had slept, showered and eaten, I was debriefed about my
interview session the previous evening by members of the gallery who recorded my
account of what Airl told me. There was a stenographer present for this session, as
usual, to whom I debriefed after each interview, and there were also 6 or 7 men who
asked for clarification of my statements. As always, there was constant pressure
applied to me to use my influence with Airl to persuade her to answer specific
questions prompted by members of the gallery. I did my best to reassure everyone
that I would give my very best efforts to do so.
Nevertheless, only three things happened every day thereafter:
1) Airl resolutely refused to answer any questions that she sensed had been posed by
or suggested to me by the gallery.
2) Airl continued to "instruct" me in subject matter of her own choice.
3) Every evening after my interview with, or instruction from Airl, she would give
me a new list of subject matter about which she wanted more information. Each
evening I presented this list to the gallery. The next day Airl received a large stack
of books, magazines, articles, and so forth. She would study all of these during the
night while I slept. This pattern repeated every day during the remainder of the time
I spent with her.
The subject matter of my next interview, or lesson, from Airl continued with a brief
history of Earth, our solar system and nearby space, from the perspective of The
Domain."

Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 25. 7. 1947, 1st Session
"Before you can understand the subject of history, you
must first understand the subject of time. Time is
simply an arbitrary measurement of the motion of objects
through space.
Space is not linear. Space is determined by the point
of view of an IS-BE when viewing a object. The distance
between an IS-BE and the object being viewed is called
"space".
Objects, or energy masses, in space do not necessarily
move in a linear fashion. In this universe, objects
tend to move randomly or in a curving or cyclical
pattern, or as determined by agreed upon rules.
History is not only a linear record of events, as many
authors of Earth history books imply, because it is not
a string that can be stretched out and marked like a
measuring tool. History is a subjective observation of
the movement of objects through space, recorded from the
point of view of a survivor, rather than of those who
succumbed. Events occur interactively and concurrently,
just as the biological body has a heart that pumps
blood, while the lungs provide oxygen to the cells,
which reproduce, using energy from the sun and chemicals
from plants, at the same time as the liver strains toxic
wastes from the blood, and eliminates them through the
bladder and the bowels.
All of these interactions are concurrent and
simultaneous. Although time runs consecutively, events
do not happen in an independent, linear stream. In
order to view and understand the history or reality of
the past, one must view all events as part of an
interactive whole. Time can also be sensed as a
vibration which is uniform throughout the entire
physical universe.
57
Airl explained that IS-BEs have been around since before
the beginning of the universe. The reason they are
called "immortal", is because a "spirit" is not born and
cannot die, but exists in a personally postulated
perception of "is - will be". She was careful to explain
that every spirit is not the same. Each is completely
unique in identity, power, awareness and ability.
The difference between an IS-BE like Airl and most of
the IS-BEs inhabiting bodies on Earth, is that Airl can
enter and depart from her "doll" at will. She can
perceive at selective depths through matter. Airl and
other officers of The Domain can communicate
telepathically. Since an IS-BE is not a physical
universe entity it has no location in space or time.
An IS-BE is literally, "immaterial". They can span great
distances of space instantly.
They can experience sensations, more intensely than a
biological body, without the use of physical sensory
mechanisms. An IS-BE can exclude pain from their
perception. Airl can also remember her "identity", so
to speak, all the way back into the dim mists of time,
for trillions of years!
She says that the existing collection of suns in this
immediate vicinity of the universe have been burning for
the last 200 trillion years. The age of the physical
universe is nearly infinitely old, but probably at least
four quadrillion 62 (Footnote) years since its earliest
beginnings.
Time is a difficult factor to measure as it depends on
the subjective memory of IS-BEs and there has been no
uniform record of events throughout the physical
universe since it began. As on Earth, there are many
different time measurement systems, defined by various
cultures, which use cycles of motion, and points of
origin to establish age and duration. 63 (Footnote)
The physical universe itself is formed from the
convergence and amalgamation of many other individual
universes 64 (Footnote), each one of which were created by an
IS-BE or group of IS-BEs. The collision of these
illusory universes commingled and coalesced and were
solidified to form a mutually created universe. Because
it is agreed that energy and forms can be created, but
58
not destroyed, 65 (Footnote) this creative process has
continued to form an ever-expanding universe of nearly
infinite physical proportions.
Before the formation of the physical universe there was
a vast period during which universes were not solid, but
wholly illusionary. You might say that the universe was
a universe of magical illusions which were made to
appear and vanish at the will of the magician. In every
case, the "magician" was one or more IS-BEs. Many ISBEs on Earth can still recall vague images from that
period. Tales of magic, sorcery and enchantment, fairy
tales and mythology speak of such things, 66 (Footnote)
although in very crude terms.
Each IS-BE entered into the physical universe when they
lost their own, "home" universe. That is, when an ISBE's "home" universe was overwhelmed by the physical
universe, or when the IS-BE joined with other IS-BEs to
create or conquer the physical universe.
On Earth, the ability to determine when an IS-BE entered
the physical universe is difficult for two reasons:
1) the memory of IS-BEs on Earth have been erased, and
2) IS-BEs arrival or invasion into the physical universe
took place at different times, some 60 trillion years
ago, and others only 3 trillion. Every once in a short
while, a few million years, an area or planet will be
taken over by another group of IS-BEs entering into the
area.
Sometimes they will capture other IS-BEs as slaves. 67
(Footnote) They will be forced to inhabit bodies to perform
menial, or manual work -- especially mining mineral ores
on heavy-gravity planets, such as Earth.
Airl says that she has been a member of The Domain
Expeditionary Force for more than 625 million years,
when she became a pilot for a biological survey mission
which included occasional visits to Earth. She can
remember her entire career there, and for a very long
time before that.
She told me that Earth scientists do not have an
accurate measuring system to gauge the age of matter.
They assume that because certain types of materials seem
to deteriorate rather quickly, such as organic or
59
carbon-based matter, that there is a deterioration of
matter. It is not accurate to measure the age of stone,
based on the measurement of the age of wood or bone.
This is a fundamental error. Factually, matter does not
deteriorate. It cannot be destroyed. Matter may be
altered in form, but it is never truly destroyed.
The Domain has conducted a periodic survey of the
galaxies in this sector of the universe since it
developed space travel technologies about 80 trillion
years ago. A review of changes in the complexion of
Earth reveal that mountain ranges rise and fall,
continents change location, the poles of the planet
shift, ice caps come and go, oceans appear and
disappear, rivers, valleys and canyons change. In all
cases, the matter is the same. It is always the same
sand. Every form and substance is made of the same
basic material, which never deteriorates.

(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
"Airl described the abilities of an IS-BE officer of The
Domain to me, and she demonstrated one to me when she
contacted -- telepathically -- a communications officer
of The Domain who is stationed in the asteroid belt.
68 (Footnote)
The asteroid belt is composed of thousands of broken up
pieces of a planet that once existed between Mars and
Jupiter. It serves as a good low-gravity jumping off
point for incoming space craft traveling toward the
center of our galaxy.
She requested that this officer consult information
stored in the "files" of The Domain, concerning the
history of Earth. She asked the communications officer
to "feed" this information to Airl. The communications
officer immediately complied with the request. Based on
60
the information stored in the files of The Domain, Airl
was able to give me a brief overview or "history
lesson". This is what Airl told me that The Domain had
observed about the history of Earth:
She told me that The Domain Expeditionary Force first
entered into the Milky Way galaxy very recently -- only
about 10,000 years ago. Their first action was to
conquer the home planets of the "Old Empire" (this is
not the official name, but a nick-name given to the
conquered civilization by The Domain Forces) that served
as the seat of central government for this galaxy, and
other adjoining regions of space. These planets are
located in the stars systems in the tail of the Big
Dipper constellation. 69 (Footnote) She did not mention which
stars, exactly.
About 1,500 years later The Domain began the
installation bases for their own forces along the path
of invasion which leads toward the center of this galaxy
and beyond. About 8,200 years ago The Domain forces set
up a base on Earth in the Himalaya Mountains near the
border of modern Pakistan and Afghanistan. This was a
base for a battalion of The Domain Expeditionary Force,
which included about 3,000 members.
They set up a base under or inside the top of a
mountain. The mountain top was drilled into and made
hollow to create an area large enough to house the ships
and personnel of that force. An electronic illusion of
the mountain top was then created to hide the base by
projecting a false image from inside the mountain
against a "force screen". The ships could then enter
and exit through the force screen, yet remain unseen by
homo sapiens.
Shortly after they settled there the base was surprised
by an attack from a remnant of the military forces of
the "Old Empire". Unbeknownst to The Domain, a hidden,
underground base on Mars, operated by the "Old Empire",
had existed for a very long time. The Domain base was
wiped out by a military attack from the Mars base and
the IS-BEs of The Domain Expeditionary Force were
captured.
You can imagine that The Domain was very upset about
losing such a large force of officers and crew, so they
61
sent other crews to Earth to look for them. Those crews
were also attacked. The captured IS-BEs from The Domain
Forces were handled in the same fashion as all other ISBEs who have been sent to Earth. They were each given
amnesia, had their memories replaced with false pictures
and hypnotic commands and sent to Earth to inhabit
biological bodies. They are still a part of the human
population today.
After a very persistent and extensive investigation into
the loss of their crews, The Domain discovered that "Old
Empire" has been operating a very extensive, and very
carefully hidden, base of operations in this part of the
galaxy for millions of years. No one knows exactly how
long. Eventually, the space craft of the "Old Empire"
forces and The Domain engaged each other in open combat
in the space of the solar system.
According to Airl, there was a running battle between
the "Old Empire" forces and The Domain until about 1235
AD, when The Domain forces finally destroyed the last of
the space craft of the "Old Empire" force in this area.
The Domain Expeditionary Force lost many of its own
ships in this area during that time also.
About 1,000 years later the "Old Empire" base was
discovered by accident in the spring of 1914 AD. The
discovery was made when the body of the Archduke of
Austria, 70 (Footnote) was "taken over" by an officer of The
Domain Expeditionary Force. This officer, who was
stationed in the asteroid belt, was sent to Earth on a
routine mission to gather reconnaissance.
The purpose of this "take over" was to use the body as a
"disguise" through which to infiltrate human society in
order to gather information about current events on
Earth. The officer, as an IS-BE, having greater power
than the being inhabiting the body of the Archduke,
simply "pushed" the being out and took over control of
the body.
However, this officer did not realize how much the
Hapsburgs were hated by feuding factions in the country,
so he was caught off guard when the body of the Archduke
was assassinated by a Bosnian student. The officer, or
IS-BE, was suddenly "knocked out" of the body when it
was shot by the assassin. Disoriented, the IS-BE
62
inadvertently penetrated one of the "amnesia force
screens" and was captured.
Eventually The Domain discovered that a wide area of
space is monitored by an "electronic force field"
71 (Footnote) which controls all of the IS-BEs in this end of
the galaxy, including Earth. The electronic force
screen is designed to detect IS-BEs and prevent them
from leaving the area.
If any IS-BE attempts to penetrate the force screen, it
"captures" them in a kind of "electronic net". The
result is that the captured IS-BE is subjected to a very
severe "brainwashing" treatment which erases the memory
of the IS-BE. This process uses a tremendous electrical
shock, just like Earth psychiatrists use "electric shock
therapy" to erase the memory and personality of a
"patient" and to make them more "cooperative". 72 (Footnote)
On Earth this "therapy" uses only a few hundred volts of
electricity. However, the electrical voltage 73 (Footnote)
used by the "Old Empire" operation against IS-BEs is on
the order of magnitude of billions of volts! This
tremendous shock completely wipes out all the memory of
the IS-BE. The memory erasure is not just for one life
or one body. It wipes out the all of the accumulated
experiences of a nearly infinite past, as well as the
identity of the IS-BE!
The shock is intended to make it impossible for the ISBE to remember who they are, where they came from, their
knowledge or skills, their memory of the past, and
ability to function as a spiritual entity. They are
overwhelmed into becoming a mindless, robotic nonentity.
After the shock a series of post hypnotic suggestions 74
(Footnote) are used to install false memories, and a false
time orientation in each IS-BE. This includes the
command to "return" to the base after the body dies, so
that the same kind of shock and hypnosis can be done
again, and again, again -- forever. The hypnotic
command also tells the "patient" to forget to remember.
What The Domain learned from the experience of this
officer is that the "Old Empire" has been using Earth as
63
a "prison planet" for a very long time -- exactly how
long is unknown -- perhaps millions of years.
So, when the body of the IS-BE dies they depart from the
body. They are detected by the "force screen", they are
captured and "ordered" by hypnotic command to "return
to the light". The idea of "heaven" and the "afterlife"
are part of the hypnotic suggestion -- a part of the
treachery that makes the whole mechanism work.
After the IS-BE has been shocked and hypnotized to erase
the memory of the life just lived, the IS-BE is
immediately "commanded", hypnotically, to "report" back
to Earth, as though they were on a secret mission, to
inhabit a new body. Each IS-BE is told that they have a
special purpose for being on Earth. But, of course
there is no purpose for being in a prison -- at least
not for the prisoner.
Any undesirable IS-BEs who are sentenced to Earth were
classified as "untouchable" 75 (Footnote) by the "Old Empire".
This included anyone that the "Old Empire" judged to be
criminals who are too vicious to be reformed or subdued,
as well as other criminals such as sexual perverts, or
beings unwilling to do any productive work.
An "untouchable" classification of IS-BEs also includes
a wide variety of "political prisoners" 76 (Footnote). This
includes IS-BEs who are considered to be noncompliant
"free thinkers" or "revolutionaries" who make trouble
for the governments of the various planets of the "Old
Empire". Of course, anyone with a previous military
record against the "Old Empire" is also shipped off to
Earth.
A list of "untouchables" include artists, painters,
singers, musicians, writers, actors, and performers of
every kind. For this reason Earth has more artists per
capita than any other planet in the "Old Empire".
"Untouchables" also include intellectuals, inventors and
geniuses in almost every field. Since everything the
"Old Empire" considers valuable has long since been
invented or created over the last few trillion years,
they have no further use for such beings. This includes
skilled managers also, which are not needed in a society
of obedient, robotic citizens.
64
Anyone who is not willing or able to submit to mindless
economic, political and religious servitude as a taxpaying worker in the class system of the "Old Empire"
are "untouchable" and sentenced to receive memory wipeout and permanent imprisonment on Earth.
The net result is that an IS-BE is unable to escape
because they can't remember who they are, where they
came from, where they are. They have been hypnotized to
think they are someone, something, sometime, and
somewhere other than were they really are.
The Domain officer who was "assassinated" while in the
body of Archduke of Austria was, likewise, captured by
the "Old Empire" force. Because this particular officer
was a high powered IS-BE, compared to most, he was taken
away to a secret "Old Empire" base under the surface of
the planet Mars. They put him into a special electronic
prison cell and held him there.
Fortunately, this Domain officer was able to escape from
the underground base after 27 years in captivity. When
he escaped from the "Old Empire" base, he returned
immediately to his own base in the asteroid belt. His
commanding officer ordered that a battle cruiser be
dispatched 77 (Footnote) to the coordinates of the base,
provided by this officer, and to destroy that base
completely. This "Old Empire" base was located a few
hundred miles north of the equator on Mars in the
Cydonia region. 78 (Footnote)
Although the military base of the "Old Empire" was
destroyed, unfortunately, much of the vast machinery of
the IS-BE force screens, the electroshock / amnesia /
hypnosis machinery continues to function in other
undiscovered locations right up to the present moment.
The main base or control center for this "mind control
prison" 79 (Footnote) operation has never been found. So, the
influences of this base, or bases, are still in effect.
The Domain has observed that since the "Old Empire"
space forces were destroyed there is no one left to
actively prevent other planetary systems from bringing
their own "untouchable" IS-BEs to Earth from all over
this galaxy, and from other galaxies nearby. Therefore,
Earth has become a universal dumping ground for this
entire region of space.
65
This, in part, explains the very unusual mix of races,
cultures, languages, moral codes, religious and
political influences among the IS-BE population on
Earth. The number and variety of heterogeneous
societies on Earth are extremely unusual on a normal
planet. Most "Sun Type 12, Class 7" planets are
inhabited by only one humanoid body type or race, if
any.
In addition, most of the ancient civilizations of Earth,
and many of the events of Earth have been heavily
influenced by the hidden, hypnotic operation of the "Old
Empire" base. So far, no one has figured out exactly
where and how this operation is run, or by whom because
it is so heavily protected by screens and traps.
Furthermore, there has been no operation undertaken to
seek out, discover and destroy the vast and ancient
network of electronics machinery that create the IS-BE
force screens at this end of the galaxy. Until this has
been done, we are not able to prevent or interrupt the
electric shock operation, hypnosis and remote thought
control 80 (Footnote) of the "Old Empire" prison planet.
Of course all of the crew members of The Domain
Expeditionary Force now remain aware of this phenomena
at all times while operating in this solar system space
so as to prevent detection and the capture by "Old
Empire" traps."

Chapter Eight
A Lesson In Recent History
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"This interview taught me a history lesson I will never read in any text book written
on Earth! The Domain has a much different view of events than we do."
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 26. 7. 1947, 1st Session
"The Domain Expeditionary Force has observed a
resurgence in science and culture of the Western world
since 1150 AD when the remaining remnants of the space
fleet of the "Old Empire" in this solar system were
destroyed. The influence of the remote control 81 (Footnote)
hypnosis operation diminished slightly after that time,
but still remains largely in force.
Apparently a small amount of damage was done to the "Old
Empire" remote mind control 82 (Footnote) operation which
resulted in a small decrease in the power of this
mechanism. As a result, some memory of technologies
that IS-BEs already knew before they came to Earth
started to be remembered. Thereafter the oppression of
knowledge that is called the "Dark Ages" 83 (Footnote) in
Europe began to diminish after that time.
Since then knowledge of the basic laws of physics 84
(Footnote) and electricity 85 (Footnote) have revolutionized Earth
culture virtually overnight. The ability to remember
technology by many of the geniuses in the IS-BE
population of Earth was partially restored, when not so
actively suppressed as it was before 1150 AD. Sir Isaac
Newton, 86 (Footnote) is one of the best examples of this. In
only a few decades he single-handedly reinvented several
67
major and fundamental scientific and mathematical
disciplines.
The men who "remembered" these sciences already knew
them before they were sent to Earth. Ordinarily, no one
would ever observe or discover as much about science and
mathematics in a single life-time, or even in a few
hundred life-times. These subjects have taken
civilizations billions and billions of years to create!
IS-BEs on Earth have only just begun to remember small
fragments of all the technologies that exist throughout
the universe. Theoretically, if the amnesia mechanisms
being used against Earth could be broken entirely, ISBEs would regain all of their memory!
Unfortunately, similar advances have not been seen in
the humanities as the IS-BEs of Earth continue to behave
very badly toward each other. This behavior, however,
is heavily influenced by the "hypnotic commands" given
to each IS-BE between lifetimes. 87 (Footnote)
And, the very unusual combination of "inmates" on Earth
- criminals, perverts, artists, revolutionaries and
geniuses - is the cause of a very restive and tumultuous
environment. The purpose of the prison planet is to
keep IS-BEs on Earth, forever. Promoting ignorance,
superstition, and war between IS-BEs helps to keep the
prison population crippled and trapped behind "the wall"
of electronic force screens.
IS-BEs have been dumped on Earth from all over the
galaxy, adjoining galaxies, and from planetary systems
all over the "Old Empire", like Sirius, Aldebaron, the
Pleiades, Orion, Draconis, and countless others. There
are IS-BEs on Earth from unnamed races, civilizations,
cultural backgrounds, and planetary environments. Each
of the various IS-BE populations have their own
languages, belief systems, moral values, religious
beliefs, training and unknown and untold histories.
These IS-BEs are mixed together with earlier inhabitants
of Earth who came from another star system more than
400,000 years ago to establish the civilizations of
Atlanta 88 (Footnote) and Lemuria 89 (Footnote). Those civilizations
vanished beneath the tidal waves caused by a planetary
"polar shift", 90 (Footnote) many thousands of years before
68
the current "prison" population started to arrive.
Apparently, the IS-BEs from those star systems were the
source of the original, oriental races of Earth,
beginning in Australia.
On the other hand, the civilizations set up on Earth by
the "Old Empire" prison system were very different from
the civilization of the "Old Empire" itself, which is an
electronic space opera, atomic powered conglomeration of
earlier civilizations that were conquered with nuclear
weapons and colonized by IS-BEs from another galaxy.
The bureaucracy that controlled the former "Old Empire"
was from an ancient space opera society, run by a
totalitarian 91 (Footnote) confederation of planetary
governments, regulated by a brutal social, economic, and
political hierarchy, 92 (Footnote) with a royal monarch as its
figurehead. 93 (Footnote)
This type of government emerges with regularity on
planets where the citizens abandon personal
responsibility for autonomous, self-regulation. They
frequently lose their freedom to demented IS-BEs who
suffer from an overwhelming paranoia that every other
IS-BE is their enemy who must be controlled or
destroyed. Their closest friends and allies, whom they
espouse to love and cherish, are literally "loved to
death" by them.
Because such IS-BEs exist, The Domain has learned that
freedom must be won and maintained through eternal
vigilance and the ability to use defensive force to
maintain it. As a result, The Domain has already
conquered the governing planet of the "Old Empire". The
civilization of The Domain, although considerably
younger and smaller in size, is already more powerful,
better organized, and united by a egalitarian esprit de
corps 94 (Footnote) never known in the history of the "Old
Empire".
The recently despoiled German totalitarian state on
Earth was similar to the "Old Empire", but not nearly as
brutal, and about ten thousand times less powerful.
Many of the IS-BEs on Earth are here because they are
violently opposed to totalitarian government, 95 (Footnote) or
because they were so psychotically vicious that they
could not be controlled by "Old Empire" government.
69
Consequently, the population of Earth is
disproportionately comprised of a very high percentage
of such beings. The conflicting cultural and ethical
moral codes of the IS-BEs on Earth is unusual in the
extreme.
The Domain conquest of the central "Old Empire" planets
was fought with electronic cannon. 96 (Footnote) The citizens
of the planets forming the core of government for the
"Old Empire" are a filthy, degraded, slave society of
mindless, tax-paying workers, who practice cannibalism.
Violent automotive race tracks and bloody, Roman circus
type entertainments are their only amusements.
Regardless of any reasonable justification we may have
had for using atomic weapons to vanquish the planets of
the "Old Empire", The Domain is careful not to ruin the
resources of those planets by using weapons of crude,
radioactive force.
The current U.S. civilization is beginning to mimic some
of the trappings of that civilization, especially in the
design of airplanes, automobiles, ships, trains, and
telephones. Likewise, buildings in the cities of Earth
are thought to be "modern" or "futuristic" if their
design resembles the architecture of the "Old Empire".
The government of the "Old Empire", before being
supplanted by The Domain, was comprised of beings who
possessed a very craven intelligence, very much like the
Axis powers 97 (Footnote) during your recent world war. Those
beings manifested precisely the same behavior as the
galactic government that exiled them to eternal
imprisonment on Earth. They were a gruesome reminder of
the ageless maxim that an IS-BE will often manifest the
treatment they have received from others. Kindness
fosters kindness. Cruelty begets cruelty. One must be
able and willing to use force, tempered with
intelligence, to prevent harm to the innocent. However,
extraordinary understanding, self-discipline and courage
are required to effectively prevent brutality, without
being overwhelmed by the malice that motivated the
brutality.
Only a demonic, self-serving government would employ a
"logic" or "science" to conceive that an "ultimate
solution" to any problem is to murder and permanently
70
erase the memory of every artist, genius, skilled
manager, and inventor, and cast them into a planetary
prison together with political opponents, killers,
thieves, perverts, and disabled beings of an entire
galaxy!
Once the IS-BEs expelled from the "Old Empire" arrived
on Earth, they were given amnesia, and hypnotically
tricked into thinking that something else had happened
to them. The next step was to implant the IS-BEs into
biological bodies on Earth. The bodies became the human
populations of "false civilizations" which were designed
and installed in the minds of IS-BEs to look completely
unlike the "Old Empire".
All of the IS-BEs of India, Egypt, Babylon, Greece,
Rome, and Medieval Europe were guided to pattern and
build the cultural elements of these societies based on
standard patterns developed by the IS-BEs of many
earlier, similar civilizations on "Sun Type 12, Class 7"
planets that have existed for trillions of years
throughout the universe.
In the earliest times the IS-BEs sent to prison Earth
lived in India. They gradually spread into Mesopotamia,
Egypt, Mesoamerica, Achaea, Greece, Rome, Medieval
Europe, and to the New World. They were hypnotically
"commanded" to follow the pattern of a given
civilization by the "Old Empire" prison operators. This
is an effective mechanism to disguise the actual time
and location from the IS-BEs imprisoned on Earth. The
languages, costumes and culture of each false
civilization are intended to reinforce amnesia because
they do not remind the IS-BEs on Earth of the original
"Old Empire" planets from which they were deported.
On the very far back-track of time these types of
civilizations tended to repeat themselves over and over
because the IS-BEs who created them become familiar with
certain patterns and styles, and stayed with them. It
is a lot of work to invent an entire civilization,
complete with culture, architecture, language, customs,
mathematics, moral values, and so forth. It is much
easier to replicate a copy based on a familiar and
successful pattern.
71
A "Sun Type 12, Class 7" planet is the designation given
to a planet inhabited by carbon-oxygen based life forms.
The class of the planet is based on the size and
radiation intensity of the star, the distance of the
planetary orbit from the star, and the size, density,
gravity, and chemical composition of the planet.
Likewise, flora and fauna are designated and identified
according to the star type and class of planet they
inhabit.
On the average, the percentage of planets in the
physical universe with a breathable atmosphere is
relatively small. Most planets do not have an
atmosphere upon which life-forms "feed", as on Earth,
where the chemical composition of the atmosphere
provides nutrition to plants, and other organisms, which
in turn support other life forms.
When the Domain Force brought the Vedic Hymns 98 (Footnote) to
the Himalayas region 8,200 years ago, some human
societies already existed. The Aryan people invaded and
conquered India 99 (Footnote) , bringing the Vedic Hymns 100
(Footnote) to the area.
The Vedas were learned by them, memorized and carried
forward verbally for 7,000 years before being committed
to written form. During that span of time one of the
officers of The Domain Expeditionary Force was
incarnated on Earth as "Vishnu" 101 (Footnote). He is
described many times in the Rig-Veda. He is still
considered to be a god by the Hindus. Vishnu fought in
the religious wars against the "Old Empire" forces. He
is a very able and aggressive IS-BE as well as a highly
effective officer, who has since been reassigned to
other duties in The Domain.
This entire episode was orchestrated as an attack and
revolt against the Egyptian pantheon installed by "Old
Empire" administrators. The conflict was intended to
help free humankind from implanted elements of the false
civilization that focused attention on many "gods" and
superstitious ritual worship demanded by the priests who
"managed" them. It is all part of the mental
manipulation by the "Old Empire" to hide their criminal
actions against the IS-BEs on Earth.
72
A priesthood, or prison guards, were used to help
reinforce the idea that an individual, is only a
biological body, and is not an Immortal Spiritual Being.
The individual has no identity. The individuals have no
past lives. 102 (Footnote) The individual has no power. Only
the gods have power. And, the gods are a contrivance of
the priests who intercede between men and the gods they
serve. Men are slaves to the dictates of the priests
who threaten eternal spiritual punishment if men do not
obey them.
What else would one expect on a prison planet where all
prisoners have amnesia, and the priests themselves are
prisoners? The intervention of The Domain Force on
Earth has not been entirely successful due to the secret
mind-control operation of the "Old Empire" that still
continues to operate.
A battle was waged between the "Old Empire" forces and
The Domain through religious conquest. Between 1500 BCE
and about 1200 BCE, The Domain Forces attempted to teach
the concept of an individual, Immortal Spiritual Being
to several influential beings on Earth.
One such instance resulted in a very tragic
misunderstanding, misinterpretation and misapplication
of the concept. The idea was perverted and applied to
mean that there is only one IS-BE, instead of the truth
that everyone is an IS-BE! Obviously, this was a gross
incomprehension and an utter unwillingness to take
responsibility for one's own power.
The "Old Empire" priests managed to corrupt the concept
of individual immortality into the idea that there is
only one, all-powerful IS-BE, and that no one else is or
is allowed to be an IS-BE. Obviously, this is the work
of the "Old Empire" amnesia operation.
It is easy to teach this altered notion to beings who do
not want to be responsible for their own lives. Slaves
are such beings. As long as one chooses to assign
responsibility for creation, existence and personal
accountability for one's own thoughts and actions to
others, one is a slave.
As a result, the concept of a single monotheistic "god"
resulted and was promoted by many self-proclaimed
73
prophets, such as the Jewish slave leader -- Moses -- 103 (Footnote) who grew up in the household of the Pharaoh
Amenhotep III 104 (Footnote) and his son, Akhenaten 105 (Footnote)
and his wife Nefertiti, 106 (Footnote) as well as his son
Tutankhamen. 107 (Footnote)
The attempt to teach certain beings on Earth the truth
that they are, themselves, IS-BEs, was part of a plan to
overthrow the fictional, metaphorical, anthropomorphic
panoply of gods created by the "Old Empire" mystery cult
called "The Brothers of The Serpent" 108 (Footnote) known in
Egypt as the Priests of Amun. 109 (Footnote) They were a very
ancient, secret society within the "Old Empire".
The Pharaoh Akhenaten was not a very intelligent being,
and was heavily influenced by his personal ambition for
self-glorification. He altered the concept of the
individual spiritual being and embodied the concept in
the sun god, Aten. His pitiful existence was soon
ended. He was assassinated by Maya and Parennefer, two
of the Priests of Amun, or "Amen", which the Christians
still say, who represented the interests of the "Old
Empire" forces.
The idea of "One God" was perpetuated by the Hebrew
leader Moses 110 (Footnote) while he was in Egypt. He left
Egypt with his adopted people, the Jewish slaves. While
they were crossing the desert, Moses was intercepted by
an operative of the "Old Empire" near Mt. Sinai. Moses
was tricked into believing that this operative was "the"
One God through the use of hypnotic commands, as well as
technical and aesthetic tricks which are commonly used
by the "Old Empire" to trap IS-BEs. Thereafter, the
Jewish slaves, who trusted the word of Moses implicitly,
have worshiped a single god they call "Yaweh". 111 (Footnote).
The name "Yaweh" means "anonymous", as the IS-BE who
"worked with" Moses could not use an actual name or
anything that would identify himself, or blow the cover
of the amnesia / prison operation. The last thing the
covert amnesia / hypnosis / prison system wants to do is
to reveal themselves openly to the IS-BEs on Earth.
They feel that this would restore the inmates memories!
This is the reason that all traces of physical
encounters between operatives of space civilizations and
74
humans is very carefully hidden, disguised, covered-up,
denied or misdirected.
This "Old Empire" operative contacted Moses on a desert
mountain top and delivered the "Ten Hypnotic Commands"
to him. These commands are very forcefully worded, and
compel an IS-BE into utter subservience to the will of
the operator. These hypnotic commands are still in
effect and influence the thought patterns of millions of
IS-BEs thousands of years later!
Incidentally, we later discovered that the so-called
"Yaweh" also wrote, programmed and encoded the text of
the Torah, which when it is read literally, or in its
decoded, 112 (Footnote) form, will provide a great deal more
false information to those who read it.
Ultimately, the Vedic Hymns became the source of nearly
all of Eastern the religions and were the philosophical
source of the ideas common to Buddha 113 (Footnote), Laozi
114 (Footnote), Zoroaster 115 (Footnote), and other philosophers.
The civilizing influences of these philosophies
eventually replaced the brutal idolatry of the "Old
Empire" religions and were the true genesis of kindness
and compassion.
You asked me earlier why The Domain, and other space
civilizations do not land on Earth or make their
presence known. Land on Earth? Do you think we are
crazy or want to be crazy? It takes a very brave IS-BE
to come down through the atmosphere and land on Earth,
because this is a prison planet, with a very
uncontrolled, psychotic population. And, no IS-BE is
entirely proof against the risk of entrapment, as with
the members of The Domain Expeditionary Force who were
captured in the Himalayas 8,200 years ago.
No one knows what IS-BEs on Earth are going to do. We
are not scheduled to invest the resources of The Domain
to take total control of all the space surrounding the
area at this time. This will occur in the not-todistant future -- about 5,000 Earth years -- according
to the time schedule of The Domain. At this time we do
not prevent transports from other planetary systems or
galaxies from continuing to drop IS-BEs into the amnesia
force screen area. Eventually, this will change.
75
In addition, Earth, inherently, is a highly unstable
planet. It is not suitable for settlement or permanent
habitation for any sustainable civilization. This is
part of the reason why it is being used as a prison
planet. No one else would seriously consider living
here for a variety of simple and compelling reasons:
1) The continental land masses of Earth are floating on
a sea of molten lava beneath the surface which causes
the land masses to crack, crumble and drift continually.
116 (Footnote)
2) Because of the liquid nature of the core, the planet
is largely volcanic and subject to earthquakes and
volcanic explosions.
3) The magnetic poles of the planet shift radically
about once every 20,000 years. 117 (Footnote) This causes a
greater or lesser degree of devastation as a result of
tidal waves, and climatic changes.
4) Earth is very distant from the center of the galaxy
and from any other significant galactic civilization.
This isolation makes it unsuitable for use, except as a
"pit stop" or jumping off point along the way between
galaxies. The moon and asteroids are far more suitable
for this purpose because they do not have any
significant gravity.
5) Earth is a heavy gravity planet, with heavy metallic
soil and a dense atmosphere. This makes it treacherous
for navigational purposes. That fact that I am in this
room, as the result of an in flight accident, in spite
of the technology of my craft and my extensive expertise
as a pilot, are proof of these facts.
6) There are approximately sixty billion Earth-like (Sun
Type 12, Class 7) planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone,
not to mention the vast expanses of The Domain, and the
territories we will claim in the future. It is
difficult to stretch our resources to do much more than
a periodic reconnaissance of Earth. Especially when
there are no immediate advantages to invest resources
here.
7) On Earth most beings are not aware that they are ISBEs, or that there are spirits of any kind. Many other
76
beings are aware of this, but nearly everyone has a very
limited understanding of themselves as an IS-BE.
One of the reasons for this is that IS-BEs have been
waging war against each other since the beginning of
time. The purpose of these wars have always been to
establish domination by one IS-BE or group of IS-BEs
over another. Since an IS-BE cannot be "killed", the
objective has been to capture and immobilize IS-BEs.
This has been done in an nearly unlimited variety of
ways. The most basic method to capture and immobilize
an IS-BE is through the use of various kinds of "traps".
IS-BE traps have been made and put in place by many
invading societies, such as the one that established the
"Old Empire", beginning about sixty-four trillion years
ago. Traps are often set up in the "territory" of the
IS-BEs being attacked. Usually a trap is set with the
electronic wave of "beauty" to attract the interest and
attention of the IS-BE. When the IS-BE moves toward the
source of the aesthetic wave, such as a beautiful
building or beautiful music, the trap is activated by
the energy put out by the IS-BE.
One of the most common trap mechanism uses the IS-BE's
own thought energy output when the IS-BE tries to attack
or fight back against the trap. The trap is activated
and energized by the IS-BE's own thought energy. The
harder the IS-BE fights against the trap, the more it
pulls the IBS toward it and keeps them "stuck" in the
trap.
Throughout the entire history of this physical universe,
vast areas of space have been taken over and colonized
by IS-BE societies who invade and take over new areas of
space in this fashion. In the past, these invasions
have always shared common elements:
1) the overwhelming use of force of arms, usually with
nuclear or electronic weapons.
2) mind control of the IS-BEs in the invaded area
through the use of electroshock, drugs, hypnosis,
erasure of memory and the implantation of false memory
or false information intended to subjugate and enslave
the local IS-BE population.
77
3) take over of natural resources by the invading ISBEs.
4) political, economic and social slavery of the local
population.
These activities continue in present time. All of the
IS-BEs on Earth have been members of one or more of
these activities in the past, both as an invader, or as
part of the population being invaded. There are no
"saints" in this universe. Very few have avoided or
been exempted from warfare between IS-BEs.
IS-BEs on Earth are still the victims of this activity
at this very moment. The between-lives amnesia
administered to IS-BEs is one on the mechanisms of an
elaborate system of "Old Empire" IS-BE traps, that
prevent an IS-BE from escaping.
This operation is managed by an illicit, renegade secret
police 118 (Footnote) force of the "Old Empire", using false
provocation operations to disguise their activities
119 (Footnote) in order to prevent detection by their own
government, The Domain and by the victims of their
activities. They are mind-control methods developed by
government psychiatrists. 120 (Footnote)
Earth is a "ghetto" 121 (Footnote) planet. It is the result
of an intergalactic "Holocaust". 122 (Footnote) IS-BEs have
been sentenced to Earth either because:
1) They are too viciously insane or perverse to function
as part of any civilization, no matter how degraded or
corrupt.
2) Or, they are a revolutionary threat to the social,
economic and political caste system that has been so
carefully built and brutally enforced in the "Old
Empire". Biological bodies are specifically designed
and designated as the lowest order of entity in the "Old
Empire" caste system. When an IS-BE is sent to Earth,
and then tricked or coerced into operating in a
biological body, they are actually in a prison, inside a
prison.
3) In an effort to permanently and irreversibly rid the
"Old Empire" of such "untouchables", the eternal
78
identity, memory, and abilities of every IS-BE is
forcefully erased. This "final solution" 123 (Footnote) was
conceived and carried out by the psychopathic criminals
who are controlled by the "Old Empire".
The mass extermination of "untouchables" and prison
camps created by Germany during World War II were
recently revealed. Likewise, the IS-BEs of Earth are the
victims of spiritual eradication and eternal slavery
inside frail, biological bodies, inspired by the same
kind of craven hatred in the "Old Empire".
The kind and creative inmates of Earth are continuously
tortured by butchers and lunatics who are controlled by
the "Old Empire" prison operators. The so-called
"civilizations" of Earth, from the age of useless
pyramids to the age of nuclear holocaust, have been a
colossal waste of natural resources, a perverted use of
intelligence, and an overt oppression of the spiritual
essence of every single IS-BE on the planet.
If The Domain sent ships to every corner of the universe
in search of "Hell", their quest could end on Earth.
What greater brutality can be inflicted on anyone than
to erase the spiritual awareness, identity, ability,
and memory that is the essence of oneself?
The Domain has, as yet, been unable to rescue the 3,000
IS-BEs of the Expeditionary Force Battalion either.
They are forced to inhabit biological bodies on Earth.
We have been able to recognize and track most of them
for the past 8,000 years. However, our attempts to
communicate with them are usually futile, as they are
unable to remember their true identity.
The majority of lost members of The Domain force have
followed the general progression of Western civilization
from India, into the Middle East, then to Chaldea, and
Babylon, into Egypt, through Achaia, Greece, Rome, into
Europe, to the Western Hemisphere, and then all around
the world.
The members of the lost Battalion and many other IS-BEs
on Earth, could be valuable citizens of The Domain, not
including those who are vicious criminals or perverts.
Unfortunately, there has been no workable method
conceived to emancipate the IS-BEs from Earth.
79
Therefore, as a matter of common logic, as well as the
official policy of The Domain, it is safer and more
sensible to avoid contact with the IS-BE population of
Earth until such time as the proper resources can be
allocated to locate and destroy the "Old Empire" force
screen and amnesia machinery and develop a therapy to
restore the memory of an IS-BE."

A Time Line of Events
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"For this interview I took written notes because Airl gave me a lot of dates and
names that I couldn't possibly remember without writing them down. I didn't usually
take notes, but during this lesson I thought it was important to get the information
exactly as she gave it to me. However, I discovered that my note taking made it
much more difficult for me to focus on receiving the communication from Airl. I
was sometimes so distracted by my own writing that I lost the train of her thought, so
I had to ask her to "repeat" herself several times.
Airl continued to stay in communication with the Communications Officer on the
asteroid belt space station, from which she received much of this information. Since
Airl was an officer / pilot / engineer of The Domain, and not a historian, she had to
get this information from records of reconnaissance missions conducted by other
officers of The Domain Expeditionary Force."
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 27. 7. 1947, 1st Session
"The actual history of Earth is very bizarre. It is so
nonsensical that is it is incredible to anyone on Earth
who attempts to investigate it. A myriad of vital
information is missing from it. A huge conglomeration
of non sequitur relics and mythology has been arbitrarily
introduced into it. The volatile nature of the Earth
itself cyclically covers, drowns, mixes and shreds
physical evidence.
These factors, combined with amnesia and post-hypnotic
suggestions, false facades and covert manipulation make
a reconstruction of the factual origins and history of
Earth civilizations virtually indecipherable. Any
81
investigator, no matter how brilliant, is doomed to
wallow in a quagmire of inconclusive assumptions,
unworkable hypotheses, and perpetual mystery.
Since The Domain does not suffer these afflictions,
having the advantage of memory, longevity and an
exterior point of view, I will add some clarification to
your fragmentary knowledge of the history of Earth.
These are some of the dates and events that are not
mentioned in Earth history textbooks. These dates are
significant because they provide some information
concerning the influences of the "Old Empire" and of The
Domain on Earth.
Although I have attended several briefings by our
mission control personnel on the general background of
Earth within the past few hundred years, I will rely
principally on data gathered from records captured
after our invasion of the "Old Empire" planetary
headquarters. Since that time The Domain Expeditionary
Force has tracked the general progress of events on
Earth.
As I mentioned, in some cases The Domain has chosen to
intervene in certain affairs on Earth in order to ensure
the success of our long term expansion plans. Although
The Domain has no interest in Earth, per se, or in the
population of IS-BEs on this planet, it does serve our
interests to ensure that the resources of Earth are not
destroyed or spoiled. To that end, certain officers of
The Domain have been sent to Earth on reconnaissance
missions from time to time to gather information.
However, the following dates and events have been
extrapolated from the accumulated information in the
data files of The Domain -- at least those that are
accessible to me through the space station
communications center.
208,000 BCE --
The establishment of the "Old Empire", whose
headquarters were located near one of the "tail stars"
in the Ursa Major (Big Dipper) Constellation 124 (Footnote) of
this galaxy. The "Old Empire" invasion force conquered
the area with nuclear weapons sometime earlier. After
82
the radioactivity 125 (Footnote) subsided and the clean-up and
restoration were completed, it received the immigration
of beings from another galaxy into this galaxy. Those
beings set up a society that kept going until about
10,000 years ago when it was superseded by The Domain.
Very recently Earth civilization has come to resemble
aspects of that civilization, now that it has fallen out
of its immediate control. In particular, the appearance
and technology of transportation such as planes, trains,
ships, fire engines, and automobiles, as well as what
you consider to be "modern" or "futuristic"
architecture, which emulate the design of buildings in
the major cities of the "Old Empire".
Before 75,000 BCE --
The Domain records contain very little information about
the civilizations on the continental land masses of
Atlanta 126 (Footnote) and Lemur 127 (Footnote), except to note that
they did coexist on Earth at more or less the same time.
Apparently, both civilizations were founded by remnants
of electronic, space opera cultures who fled from their
native planetary systems to escape political or
religious persecution.
The Domain knows that a long-standing edict of the "Old
Empire" prohibits unauthorized colonization of planets.
Therefore, it is possible that their destruction was
caused by police or military forces who pursued the
colonists as criminals and destroyed them. Although
this seems a likely supposition, no conclusive evidence
exists that explains the complete destruction and
disappearance of two entire electronic civilizations.
Another possibility is that a massive submarine volcanic
eruption in the region of Lake Toba, in Sumatra 128 (Footnote)
and Mt. Krakatoa 129 (Footnote) in Java caused the destruction
of Lemur. The flood waters caused by the eruption
overwhelmed all the land masses, including the highest
mountains. Survivors of the destruction of the
civilization, the Lemurians, are the earliest ancestors
of the Chinese. Australia and the ocean areas to the
north were the center of the Lemurian civilization and
are the source of Oriental races. Both civilizations
possessed electronics, flight and similar technologies
of space opera cultures.
83
Apparently, the volcanic eruption expelled such a
significant mass of molten rock that the resulting
vacuum beneath the crust of Earth caused great areas of
the land masses to sink below the oceans. The
continental areas occupied by both civilizations were
covered with volcanic matter, and then submerged,
leaving very little evidence that they ever existed
except for legends of a global flood which prevail in
every culture of the Earth, and for survivors who are
the genus of oriental races and cultures.
That kind of colossal volcanic explosion 130 (Footnote) fills
the stratosphere with toxic gases which are carried
around the whole planet. The usual refuse of these
volcanic eruptions can easily cause a rain that lasts
for "40 days and 40 nights" due to atmospheric pollution
as well as an extensive period during which radiation
from the sun is deflected back into space, and cause
global cooling. 131 (Footnote) Certainly such an event would
cause an ice age, extinctions of life forms and many
other relatively long-term changes lasting thousands of
years.
Due to the myriad types of naturally occurring global
cataclysmic events which are indigenous to Earth, it is
not a suitable planet for habitation by IS-BEs. In
addition there have been occasional global cataclysms
caused by IS-BEs such as the one that destroyed the
dinosaurs 132 (Footnote) more than 70 million years ago. That
destruction was caused by intergalactic warfare during
which time Earth, and many other neighboring moons and
planets, were bombarded by atomic weapons. Atomic
explosions cause atmospheric fallout much like that of
volcanic eruptions. 133 (Footnote) Most of the planets in this
sector of the galaxy have been uninhabitable deserts
since then.
Earth is undesirable for many other reasons: heavy
gravity and dense atmosphere, floods, earthquakes,
volcanoes, polar shifts, continental drift, meteor
impacts, atmospheric and climatic changes, to name a
few. What kind of lasting civilization could any
sophisticated culture propose to develop in such an
environment?
84
In addition, Earth is a small planet of a "rim star" of
a galaxy. This makes Earth very isolated geographically
from the more concentrated planetary civilizations which
exist toward the center of the galaxy. These obvious
facts have made Earth suitable for use only as a
zoological or botanical garden, or for it's current use
as a prison -- but not much else.
Before 30,000 BCE --
Earth started being used a dumping ground and prison for
IS-BEs who were judged "untouchable", meaning criminal
or non-conformists. IS-BEs were captured, encapsulated
in electronic traps and transported to Earth from
various parts of the "Old Empire". Underground "amnesia
stations" were set up on Mars and on Earth in the
Rwenzori Mountains 134 (Footnote) in Africa, in the Pyrenees
Mountains 135 (Footnote) of Portugal, and in steppes of
Mongolia. 136 (Footnote)
These electronic monitoring points create force screens
designed to detect and capture IS-BEs, when the IS-BE
departs the body at death. IS-BEs are brainwashed using
extreme electronic force in order to maintain Earth's
population in state of perpetual amnesia. Further
population controls are installed through the use of
long range electronic thought control mechanisms.
These stations are still in operation and they are
extremely difficult to attack or destroy, even for The
Domain, which will not maintain a significant military
force in this area until a later date.
The pyramid civilizations were intentionally created as
part of the IS-BE prison system on Earth. The pyramid
is alleged to be the symbol for "wisdom". However, the
"wisdom" of the "Old Empire" on planet Earth is intended
to operate as part of the elaborate amnesia "trap"
consisting of MASS, MEANING and MYSTERY. These are
opposite to the qualities of an Immortal Spiritual Being
which have no mass, or meaning. An IS-BE "is" solely
because it thinks that it "is".
MASS represents the physical universe, including objects
such as stars, planets, gases, liquids, energy particles
and tea cups. The Pyramids were very, very solid
objects, as were all of the structures created by the
"Old Empire". Heavy, massive, dense, solid objects
85
create the illusion of eternity. Dead bodies wrapped in
linen, soaked in resin, placed inside engraved golden
coffins and entombed with Earthly possessions amid
cryptic symbols create an illusion of eternal life.
However, dense, heavy physical universe symbols are the
exact opposite of an IS-BE. An IS-BE has no mass or
time. Objects do not endure forever. An IS-BE "is"
forever.
MEANING: False meanings prevent knowledge of the truth.
The pyramid cultures of Earth are a fabricated illusion.
They are nothing more than "false civilizations"
contrived by the "Old Empire" mystery cult called the
Brothers of the Serpent. False meanings were invented
to create the illusion of a false society to further
reinforce the amnesia mechanism among the intimates in
the Earth prison system.
MYSTERY is built of lies and half-truths. Lies cause
persistence because they alter facts which are comprised
of exact dates, places and events. When truth is known,
a lie no longer persists. If the exact truth is
revealed, it is no longer a mystery.
All of the pyramid civilizations of Earth were carefully
contrived of layer upon layer of lies, skillfully
combined with a few truths. The priest cult of the "Old
Empire" combined sophisticated mathematics and space
opera technology, with theatrical metaphors and
symbolism. All of these are complete fabrications of
truth, baited with the allure of aesthetics and mystery.
The intricate rituals, astronomical alignments, secret
rites, massive monuments, marvelous architecture,
artistically rendered hieroglyphs and man-animal "gods"
were designed to create a unsolvable mystery for the ISBE prison population on Earth. The mystery diverts
attention away from the truth that IS-BEs have been
captured, given amnesia and imprisoned on a planet far,
far away from their home.
The truth is that every single IS-BE on Earth came to
Earth from some other planetary system. Not one person
on Earth is a "native" inhabitant. Human beings did not
"evolve" on Earth.
86
In the past, Egyptian society was run by the prison
administrators or priests, who, in turn, manipulated a
Pharaoh, controlled the treasury and kept the inmate
population enslaved physically and spiritually. In
modern times, the priests have changed, but the function
is the same. However, now the priest are prisoners too.
Mystery reinforces the walls of the prison. The "Old
Empire" feared that the IS-BEs on Earth might regain
their memory. Therefore, one of the primary functions
of The "Old Empire" priesthood is to prevent IS-BEs on
Earth from remembering who they really are, how they
came to Earth, where they came from.
The "Old Empire" operators of the prison system, and
their superiors, do not want IS-BEs to remember who
murdered them, captured them, stole all of their
possessions, sent them to Earth, gave them amnesia and
condemned them to eternal imprisonment!
Imagine what might happen if all of the inmates in the
prison suddenly remembered that they have the right to
be free! What if they suddenly realized that they have
been falsely imprisoned and rise up as one against the
guards?
They are afraid to reveal anything that looks like the
civilization of the inmates home planets. A body, a
piece of clothing, a symbol, a space ship, an advanced
electronics device, or any other remnant of civilization
from a home planet could "remind" a being and rekindle
his memory.
Sophisticated technologies of entrapment and
enslavement, which were developed over millions of
years in the "Old Empire", have been applied to the ISBEs on Earth with the intention to create a false facade
for the prison. These facades were installed on Earth
in totality, all at once. Every piece is a fully
integrated part of the prison system.
This includes a religion of mumbo-jumbo double-speak.
Every pyramid civilization uses this as part of a
control mechanism to keep the population enslaved by
force, by fear and by ignorance. The indecipherable
muddle of irrelevant information, geometric designs,
mathematical calculation, astronomical alignments, are
87
part of a false spirituality based on solid objects,
rather than immortal spirits, in order to confuse and
disorient the IS-BEs on Earth.
When the body of a person died they were buried with
their Earthly possessions, including their former body
wrapped in linen, to sustain their "soul" or "Ka" after
death. An IS-BE does not "have" as soul. An IS-BE is a
soul.
On the home planet of an IS-BE their material
possessions were not lost, stolen or forgotten when the
being died or left the body. An IS-BE could return and
claim the possessions. However, if the IS-BE has
amnesia, they will not remember that they had any
possession. So, governments, insurance companies,
bankers, family members and other vultures can pick
their possessions clean without fear of retribution from
the deceased. 137 (Footnote)
The only reason for these false meanings is to instill
the idea that an IS-BE is NOT a spirit, but a physical
object! This is a lie. It is a trap for an IS-BE.
Countless people have spent endless hours attempting to
solve the jig-saw puzzle of Egypt and other "Old Empire"
civilizations. They are puzzles made of pieces that do
not fit. A question states its own answer. What is the
mystery of Egypt and other pyramid cultures? Mystery!
circa 15,000 BCE --
The "Old Empire" forces supervised the construction of a
hydraulic mining operations in the Andes Mountains in
present day Bolivia near Lake Titicaca (Lake of Tin
Stones) at Tiahuanaco 138 (Footnote) including construction of
the massive stone complex of carved stone buildings
known as Kalasasaya and its "Gate of the Sun" at an
elevation of nearly 14,000 feet.
11,600 BCE --
The Polar Axis of Earth shifted 139 (Footnote) to a sea area.
The last Ice Age came to an end abruptly as the polar
ice caps melted and the level of the ocean rose to
submerge large sections of the land masses of Earth.
The last remaining vestiges of Atlantis and Lemuria were
88
covered by water. Massive extinctions of animals
occurred in the Americas, Australia and the Artic
Regions due to the shift of the poles.
10,450 BCE --
Plans were made by the "Old Empire" IS-BE called Thoth
for construction of a Great Pyramid of Giza. The 4 "air
shafts" of the pyramid point precisely to key stars in
the "Old Empire" as seen from Giza in this year. The
alignment of the Pyramids of Giza on the ground matches
perfectly the alignment of the constellation of Orion as
seen in the sky from Giza relative to the Nile as the
earthly representation of the Milky Way in the sky. 140
(Footnote)
10,400 BCE --
According to the Earth historian, Herodotus, records
from the ruined civilization of Atlantis, containing
electronic technology and other technology of that
society, were buried in a vault beneath the paws of The
Sphinx. The Greek historian wrote that he was told this
by some of his friends who were Priests of Anu, the
Sumerian god, at the Egyptian city of Heliopolis.
However, it is highly unlikely that any traces of an
electronic civilization would be allowed to be left
intact on Earth by the "old empire" prison system
administrators. 141 (Footnote).
8,212 BCE --
The Veda or Vedic hymns are a set of religious hymns
that were introduced into the societies of Earth. They
came forward in spoken tradition, memorized, from
generation to generation. "The Hymn to the Dawn Child''
includes an idea called the "cycle of the physical
universe": the creation, growth, conservation, decay and
death or destruction of energy and matter in a space.
These cycles produce time. The same set of hymns
describes the "theory of evolution". Here is a
tremendous body of knowledge which contains a great deal
of spiritual truth. Unfortunately, it has been
incorrectly evaluated by humans and altered with lies
and reversals of fact by priests which are a booby trap
to prevent anyone from using the wisdom to discover a
way to escape from the prison planet.
89
8,050 BCE --
Destruction of the "Old Empire" home planet government
in this galaxy. This was the end of the "Old Empire" as
a political entity in the galaxy. However, the vast
size of the "Old Empire" will take many thousands of
years for The Domain to conquer completely. The inertia
of the political, economic and cultural systems of the
"Old Empire" will remain in place for some time to come.
However, remnants of the "Old Empire" space fleet in the
solar system of Earth were finally destroyed in 1,230
AD. In addition to operatives of the "Old Empire" who
run the Earth prison operation, there were other beings
from the "Old Empire" who came to Earth. Since Earth
was no longer under the control of the "Old Empire"
after their defeat by The Domain Forces, there was no
police force to control military renegades, space
pirates, miners, merchants and entrepreneurs who came to
Earth to exploit the resources of the planet for
personal gain, and many other nefarious reasons.
For example, the history of Earth, according to the
Jewish people, describes the "Nephilim". 142 (Footnote) Chapter
6 of The Book of Genesis, describes the origin of the
"Nephilim" :
"Now it came about, when men began to multiply on
the face of the land, and daughters were born to
them, that the "sons of God" saw that the daughters
of men were beautiful; and they took wives for
themselves, whomever they chose.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and
also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the
daughters of men, and they bore children to them.
Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of
renown."
The ancient Jewish people who wrote the history book
called the Old Testament were slaves, herders and
gatherers. Any modern technology, even a simple
flashlight, would seem astounding and miraculous to
them. They attributed any unexplainable phenomenon or
technology to the workings of a "god". Unfortunately,
this behavior is universal among all IS-BEs who have
been given amnesia, and cannot remember their own
90
experiences, training, technology, personality or
identity.
Obviously, if these were men, and they mated with Earth
women, they were not "sons of god". They were IS-BEs
who inhabited biological bodies in order to take
advantage of the political situation in the "Old
Empire", or simply to indulge in physical sensation.
They set up small colonies of their own on Earth beyond
the reach of the police and tax authorities.
Coincidentally, one of the most serious crimes an IS-BE
could commit in the "Old Empire" was to violate income
tax regulations. Income taxes were used as a slavery
mechanism and as a punishment in the "Old Empire". The
slightest error in a tax report made an IS-BE
"untouchable", followed by imprisonment on Earth.
6,750 BCE --
Other Pyramid civilizations were set up by the "Old
Empire" on Earth. These were established in Babylon,
Egypt, China and Mesoamerica. The Mesopotamian area
provided service facilities, communication stations,
space ports, and stone quarry operations for these false
civilizations.
Ptah was the name given to the first in a succession of
administrators from the "Old Empire" who represented
themselves to the Earth population as "divine" rulers.
Ptah's importance may be understood when one learns that
the word "Egypt" is a Greek corruption of the phrase
"Het-Ka-Ptah," or "House of the Spirit of Ptah". Ptah,
was nick-named "The Developer". He was a construction
engineer. His high priest was given the title 'Great
Leader of Craftsmen'.
Ptah was also the god of reincarnation in Egypt. He
originated the "opening of the mouth ceremony" which was
performed by priests at funerals to "release souls" from
their corpses. Of course, when the "souls" were
released, they were captured, given amnesia, and
returned to Earth again.
The so-called "Devine" rulers who followed Ptah on Earth
were called "Ntr", meaning "Guardians or Watchers" by
91
the Egyptians. Their symbol was the Serpent, or Dragon
which represented a secret priesthood of the "Old
Empire" called the "Brothers of the Serpent".
"Old Empire" engineers used cutting tools of highly
concentrated light waves to quickly carve and excavate
stone blocks. 143 (Footnote) They also used force fields and
space craft to lift and transport blocks of stone
weighing hundred or thousands of tons each. The
placement on the ground of some of these structures will
be found to have geodetic or astronomical significance
relative to various stars in this galactic region.
The buildings are crude and impractical, compared to
building standards on most planets. As an engineer of
The Domain, I can attest that make-shift structures like
these would never pass inspection on a planet in The
Domain. Stone blocks such as those used in the pyramid
civilizations can still be seen, partially excavated, in
the stone quarries in the Middle East 144 (Footnote) and
elsewhere.
Most of the structures were hastily built "props", much
like the false facades of a western town on the set of a
motion picture. They appear to be real, and to have
some use or value however, they have no value. They have
no useful purpose. The pyramids and all of the other
stone monuments erected by the "Old Empire" could be
called "mystery monuments". For what reason would
anyone waste so many resources to construct so many
useless buildings? To create a mysterious illusion.
The fact of the matter is that each one of the "divine
rulers" were IS-BEs who served as operatives of the "Old
Empire". They were certainly not "divine", although
they were IS-BEs.
6248 BCE --
The beginning of active warfare between The Domain Space
Command and the surviving remnants of the "Old Empire"
space fleet in this solar system that lasted nearly
7,500 years. It began when an installation was
established in the Himalaya mountains by a battalion of
the 3,000 officers and crew members of The Domain
Expeditionary Force. The installation was not fortified
92
as The Domain was not aware that the "Old Empire"
maintained Earth as a prison planet.
The Domain installation was attacked and destroyed by
space forces of the "Old Empire" who continued to
operate in the solar system of Earth. IS-BEs of The
Domain battalion were captured, taken to Mars, given
amnesia, and sent back to Earth to inhabit human
biological bodies. They are still on Earth.
5,965 BCE --
Investigations into the disappearance of Domain forces
in this solar system led to the discovery of "Old
Empire" bases on Mars and elsewhere. The Domain took
over the planet Venus 145 (Footnote) as a defensive position
against the space forces of the "Old Empire". The
Domain Expeditionary Force also monitors life forms on
Venus which has a very dense, hot and heavy atmosphere
of sulfuric acid clouds. There are a few life forms on
Earth that can endure an atmospheric environment like
Venus. 146 (Footnote)
The Domain also established secret installations or
space stations in the Earth solar system. This solar
system has a planet that is broken up -- the asteroid
belt. 147 (Footnote) It provides a very useful low-gravity
platform for take off and landing of space craft. It is
used as a "galactic jump" between the Milky Way and
adjoining galaxies. There aren't any planets at this end
of the galaxy that can serve as a good galactic entering
spot for incoming transport, and other ships. But this
broken up planet makes a very ideal space station. As a
result of our war against the "Old Empire", this area of
the solar system is now a valuable possession of The
Domain.
3,450 - 3,100 BCE --
The intervention into the affairs on Earth by the "Old
Empire" operatives or "divine gods" was disrupted at
this time by The Domain Forces. They were forced to
replace themselves with human rulers. The First Dynasty
of human Pharaohs who united Upper and Lower Egypt began
with the rule of a Pharaoh who, coincidentally, was
named "MEN". He established the capital city called
Men-Nefer, "The Beauty of Men" in Egypt. This started
93
the first succession of 10 human Pharaohs and a period
of 350 years of chaos that followed in the
administrative ranks of the "Old Empire".
3,200 BCE --
As I mentioned earlier, Earth was under attack between
The Domain and the "Old Empire" forces during this
period. Of course this does not make any sense to
archaeologists or historians on Earth, because the
Egyptian period is a space opera era period. Since
Earth historians have amnesia, they assume that this was
only a religious period.
Further, because the technology and civilizations
installed on Earth during this period were "prepackaged", they did not "evolve" on Earth. Of course,
there is no evidence anywhere on Earth of an
evolutionary transition which resulted in sophisticated
mathematics, language, writing, religion, architecture,
cultural traditions in Egypt or any of the pyramid
civilizations. These cultures, complete with all of the
details of racial body types, hair-styles, facial makeup, rituals, moral codes and so forth, just "appeared"
as complete integrated packages.
The physical evidence suggests that all evidence of the
intervention of The Domain or "Old Empire" Forces, or
any other extraterrestrial activity, has been carefully
"cleaned up", so as not to create suspicion. The "Old
Empire" force does not want the IS-BEs of Earth to
suspect that they have been captured, transplanted to
Earth and brainwashed.
So, Earth historians continue to assume that Egyptian
priests were not supposed to have "ray guns" or other
technology of the "Old Empire". And, they suppose that
there was nothing going on, on Earth, except some
priests walking around saying 'Amen', which the
Christians still say.
3,172 BCE --
Layout of the astronomical grid that joins the key
mining sites and astronomical buildings of 'the gods' in
the Andes Mountains such as Tiahuanaco, 148 (Footnote) Cuzco,
Quito, the cities of Ollantaytambu, 149 (Footnote) Machupiccu 150
94
(Footnote) and Pachacamac 151 (Footnote) for the mining of rare
metals, including tin for use in making bronze. Metals
were the property of "the gods", of course.
A great variety of entrepreneurial mining was done on
Earth at that time due to the war between the "Old
Empire" force and The Domain. These miners did carve a
few sculptures of themselves. They are seen wearing
mining helmets. The Ponce stela sculpture in the sunken
courtyard of the Kalasasaya temple is a crude rendering
of a stone worker using an electronic, light-wave
emitting stone cutter and carving tools, held in a
holster. 152 (Footnote)
The "Old Empire" has also maintained mining operations
on planets throughout the galaxy for a very long time.
The mineral resources of Earth are now a property of The
Domain.
2,450 BCE --
The "great" pyramid 153 (Footnote) and complex of pyramids
near Cairo were completed. An inscription created by
the "Old Empire" administrators can be seen in the socalled Pyramid texts. 154 (Footnote) The texts say that the
pyramid was built under the direction of Thoth, Son of
Ptah. Of course there was never a King buried in the
chamber, since the pyramids were never intended to be
used as a burial chamber.
The great pyramid was located precisely at the exact
center of all of the land masses of Earth, 155 (Footnote) as
viewed from space. Obviously such precise measurements
require aerial perspective and a view of the land masses
of Earth from space. Purely mathematical calculations
of the geodetic center of the continents of Earth could
not be made otherwise.
Shafts were constructed inside the pyramid to align with
the configuration of stars in the constellation of
Orion, Canus Majora, and specifically Sirius. The
shafts are also aligned to the Big Dipper, where the
home planet of the "Old Empire" existed. Also, Ainitak,
Alpha Draconis and Beta Ursa Minor. 156 (Footnote) These stars
are each one of the key systems in the "Old Empire" from
which IS-BEs were brought to Earth and dumped, as
unwanted merchandise.
95
The configuration of all the pyramids of the Giza
Plateau was intended to create a "mirror image", on
Earth of the solar system and certain constellations
within the "Old Empire".
2,181 BCE --
MIN, became the God of Fertility of Egypt. The IS-BE,
also known as Pan, was also a Greek god. Min or Pan,
was an IS-BE who somehow managed to escape from the "Old
Empire" amnesia system. 157 (Footnote)
2,160 - 2040 BCE --
One of the results of the intensifying battle between
The Domain Forces and the "Old Empire" forces was that
the control of the "divine rulers", was broken at this
time. They finally left Egypt and returned to the
"heavens", so to speak, in defeat. Human beings took
over the ruling role as Pharaohs. The first human
pharaoh moved the Capital city of Egypt from Memphis to
Heracleopolis. 158 (Footnote)
1,500 BCE --
This is the date for the destruction of Atlantis given
by the Egyptian high-priests, Psenophis of Heliopolis,
and Sonchis of Sais, to the Greek sage Solon. 159 (Footnote)
The Priests of Anu recorded that the Mediterranean area
was invaded by "Atlantean" people about this time. Of
course, these people were not from the ancient continent
of Atlanta, in the Atlantic Ocean, which existed more
than 70,000 years earlier.
These were refugees from the Minoan civilization on
Crete escaping from the volcanic eruption and tidal
waves of Mt. Thera that destroyed their civilization.
Plato's references to Atlantis were borrowed from the
writings of the Greek philosopher Solon, who was given
the information by the Egyptian priest who called
Atlantis "Kepchu", which also happens to be the Egyptian
name for the people of Crete. Some of the survivors of
the Minoan volcanic disaster asked Egypt for help, since
they were the only other civilization with high culture
in the Mediterranean area at the time. 160 (Footnote)
96
1351 BCE - 1337 BCE --
The Domain Expeditionary Force actively waged a war of
religious conquest against the Egyptian mystery cult
called the Priest of Amun, also known as the "Old
Empire" Brothers of The Serpent. During this time the
Pharaoh Akhenaten abolished the priesthood of Amun, and
moved the capital of Egypt from Thebes to the new
location at Amarna, at the exact geodetic center of
Egypt 161 (Footnote). However, this plot to overthrow the "Old
Empire" religious control was quickly spoiled.
1,193 BCE --
In the Near East and Achaea, the Greeks and Trojans
fought for supremacy, which ended in the destruction of
Troy as the finale of the Trojan War. 162 (Footnote) During
this same time, war was being fought out in the space of
the solar system between two forces for control of the
"space stations" surrounding Earth. That period of 300
years was a very violent resistance to The Domain Forces
by the remnants of the "Old Empire" forces. It did not
last long however, as it is futile to resist The Domain.
850 BCE --
Homer, the blind Greek poet, 163 (Footnote) wrote the stories
'the gods' as borrowed and modified from earlier sources
in Vedic texts, Sumerian texts, Babylonian and Egyptian
mythology. His poems, as well as many other "myths" of
the ancient world are very accurate descriptions of the
exploits of IS-BE's on Earth who were able to avoid the
"Old Empire amnesia operation and operate without
biological bodies.
700 BCE --
The Vedic Hymns were first translated in the Greek
language. This was the beginning of a cultural
revolution in Western civilization that transformed
crude and brutal tribal cultures into democratic
republics based on more reasonable conduct.
638 - 559 BCE --
Solon, a wise man from Greece, reported the existence of
Atlantis. This was information he received from the
97
"Old Empire" high-priests, Psenophis of Heliopolis and
Sonchis of Sais, with whom he studied in Egypt. 164 (Footnote)
630 BCE --
Zoroaster 165 (Footnote) created religious practices in Persia
around an IS-BE called Ahura Mazda. 166 (Footnote) This was yet
another of the growing number of "monotheistic" gods put
in place by operatives of The Domain to displace a
panoply of "Old Empire" gods.
604 BCE --
Laozi, a philosopher who wrote a small book called "The
Way", 167 (Footnote) was an IS-BE of great wisdom, who
overcame the effects of the "Old Empire" amnesia /
hypnosis machinery and escaped from Earth. His
understanding of the nature of an IS-BE must have been
very good to accomplish this.
According to the common legend, his last lifetime as a
human was lived in a small village in China. He
contemplated the essence of his own life. Like Guatama
Siddhartha, he confronted his own thoughts, and past
lives. In so doing, he recovered some of his own
memory, ability and immortality.
As an old man, he decided to leave the village and go to
the forest to depart the body. The village gatekeeper
stopped him and begged him to write down his personal
philosophy before leaving. Here is a small piece of
advice he gave about "the way" he rediscovered his own
spirit:
"He who looks will not see it;
He who listens will not hear it;
He who gropes will not grasp it.
The formless nonentity, the motionless source of motion.
The infinite essence of the spirit is the source of
life.
Spirit is self.
Walls form and support a room,
yet the space between them is most important.
A pot is formed of clay,
yet the space formed therein is most useful.
Action is caused by the force of nothing on something,
98
just as the nothing of spirit is the source of all form.
One suffers great afflictions because one has a body.
Without a body what afflictions could one suffer?
When one cares more for the body than for his own
spirit,
One becomes the body and looses the way of the spirit.
The self, the spirit, creates illusion.
The delusion of Man is that reality is not an illusion.
One who creates illusions and makes them more real than
reality, follows the path of the spirit and finds the
way of heaven".
593 BCE --
The Genesis story written by the Jewish people describe
"angels" or "sons of god" mating with women of Earth,
who bore them children. These were probably renegades
from the "Old Empire". They may also have been space
pirates or merchants from a system outside the galaxy
who came to steal mineral resources, or smuggle drugs.
The Domain has observed that there are many visitors to
Earth from neighboring planets and galaxies, but they
rarely stop and live here. What kind of beings would
live on a prison planet if they were not forced to do
so?
The same book also reports the story of a human named
Ezekiel who witnessed a spacecraft or aircraft landing
near Chebar River in Chaldea. His description of the
craft uses very archaic language, technically, but is
nevertheless, quite an accurate description of an "Old
Empire" saucer or scout craft. It is similar to the
sighting of "vimanas" by the people in the foothills of
the Himalayas.
Their Genesis story also mentions that "Yahweh" designed
biological bodies to live for 120 years on Earth.
Biological bodies on most "Sun Type 12, Class 7" planets
are usually engineered to last for an average of about
150 years. Human bodies on Earth last only about one
half as long. We suspect this is because the prison
administrators have altered the biological material of
human bodies on Earth to die more frequently so that the
99
IS-BEs who inhabit them will recycle through the amnesia
mechanism more frequently. 168 (Footnote)
It should be noted that much of the "Old Testament" was
written during the captivity of the Jews who were
enslaved in Babylon, which was very heavily controlled
by priests of the "Old Empire". The book introduces a
false sense of time and a false concept of the origin of
the creation.
The serpent is the symbol of the "Old Empire". It
appears in the beginning of their creation story, or as
the Greeks say, "Genesis", and causes the spiritual
destruction of the first human beings, who are
metaphorically represented by Adam and Eve.
The Old Testament, clearly influenced by the "Old
Empire" Forces, gives a detailed description of the ISBEs being induced into biological bodies on Earth. This
book also describes many of the "Old Empire"
brainwashing activities, including the installation of
false memories, lies, superstitions, commands to
"forget" and all manner of tricks and traps designed to
keep IS-BEs on Earth. Most importantly, it destroys the
awareness that humans are Immortal Spiritual Beings.
580 BCE --
The Oracle at Delphi was one temple in a network of many
oracle temples. Each temple was a communication center.
The "Old Empire" priests designated a local "god" for
each temple. Each of the temples in this network were
located at precisely 5 degrees of latitude intervals
from the capital city of Thebes throughout the
Mediterranean area as far north as the Baltic Sea.
The shrines served, among other things, as a grid,
housing electronic beacons, later called "Omphalus
Stones". 169 (Footnote) The grid arrangement of Oracle sites
can only be seen from miles above the Earth. The
original network of electronic communications beacons
were disabled when the priesthood was dispersed, and
were replaced by carved stones.
The symbol of the "Old Empire" priesthood is a Python,
dragon or serpent. It was called the "earth-dragon" at
100
Delphi, which is always represented in sculpture and
vase-paintings as a serpent.
In Greek mythology the guardian of the Omphalus Stone at
the temple at Delphi was an oracle whose name was
Python, the serpent. 170 (Footnote) She was an IS-BE, who was
conquered by a "god" named Apollo. He buried her under
the Omphalos stone. This is a case of one "god" setting
up his temple on the grave of another. This is a very
accurate euphemism for The Domain Force that detected
and disabled the "Old Empire" temple network on Earth.
It was one of the fatal blows to the "Old Empire" Force
in the solar system of Earth.
559 BCE --
The Commanding Officer of The Domain Battalion who was
lost in 5,965 BCE was detected and located by a search
party sent to Earth from The Domain Expeditionary Force.
He was incarnated as Cyrus II of Persia during this
time. 171 (Footnote)
A unique system of organization was used by Cyrus II 172
(Footnote) and the members of that Battalion who followed
him from India through his progression of human lives on
Earth. In part, it enabled them to build the largest
empire in the history of the Earth to that date.
The Domain Search Party who located him traveled around
the Earth searching for the lost Battalion for several
thousand years. The party consisted of 900 officers of
The Domain, divided into teams of 300 each. One team
searched the land, another team search the oceans and
the third team searched the space surrounding Earth.
There are many reports made in various human
civilizations concerning their activities, which humans
did not understand, of course.
The Domain Search Party devised a wide variety of
electronic detection devices needed to track the
electronic signature or wavelength of each of the
missing members of the Battalion. Some were used in
space, others on land, and special devices were invented
to detect IS-BEs under water.
One of these electronic detection devices is referred to
as a "tree of life". 173 (Footnote) The device is literally a
101
tool designed to detect the presence of life, which is
an IS-BE. This was a large electronic screen generator
designed to permeate wide areas. To the ancient humans
on Earth it resembled a sort of tree, since is consists
of an interwoven lattice of electronic field generators
and receivers. The electronic field detects the
presence of IS-BEs, whether the IS-BE is occupying a
body, or if they are outside a body.
A portable version of this detection device was carried
by each of the members of The Domain Search Party.
Stone carvings in Sumeria show winged beings using
pinecone-shaped instruments to scan the bodies of human
beings. They are also shown carrying the power unit for
the scanner which are depicted as stylized baskets or
water buckets, being carried by eagle-headed, winged
beings. 174 (Footnote)
Members of the aerial unit of The Domain Search Party,
led by Ahura Mazda, were often called "winged gods" in
human interpretations. Throughout the Persian
civilization there are a great many stone relief carving
that depict winged space craft, that they called a
"faravahar". 175 (Footnote)
Members of the Aquatic Unit of The Domain Search Party
were called "Oannes" by local humans. 176 (Footnote) Stone
carvings of the so-called Oannes are shown wearing
silver diving suits. They lived in the sea and appeared
to the human population to be men dressed to look like
fish. Some members of the lost Battalion were found in
the oceans inhabiting the bodies of dolphins or whales. 177
(Footnote)
On land, The Domain Search Party members were referred
to as "Annunaki" 178 (Footnote) by the Sumerians, and
"Nephilim", in the Bible. Of course, their true mission
and activities were never disclosed to homo sapiens.
Their activities have been purposefully disguised.
Therefore, the human stories and legends about the
Annunaki, and the other members of The Domain Search
Party have not been understood and were badly
misinterpreted.
In the absence of complete and accurate data, anyone
observing a phenomenon will assume or hypothesize
explanations in an attempt to make sense of the data.
102
Therefore, although mythology and history may be based
on factual events, they are likewise full of
misunderstood and misinterpreted evaluations of the
data, and embellished with assumptions, theories and
hypotheses which are false.
The space unit of The Domain Expeditionary Force are
shown flying in a "Winged-Disc". 179 (Footnote) This is an
allusion to the spiritual power of the IS-BEs, as well
as to the space craft used by The Domain Search Party.
The Commander of the lost Battalion, as Cyrus II, was an
IS-BE who was regarded as a messiah on Earth by both the
Jews, and the Muslims. In less than 50 years he
established a highly ethical, and humanitarian
philosophy which pervaded all of Western Civilization.
180 (Footnote)
His territorial conquests, organization of people and
monumental building projects were unprecedented before
or since. Such sweeping accomplishments in a short
period of time could only have been achieved by a leader
and a team of trained officers, pilots, engineers and
crew members of a unit of The Domain, acting as a team,
who had been trained and worked together for thousands
of years.
Although we have discovered the location of many of the
IS-BEs in the lost Battalion, The Domain has been unable
to restore their memory and return them to active duty
as yet.
Of course we cannot transport IS-BEs who are inhabiting
biological bodies to the space stations of The Domain
since there is no oxygen in our space craft. Also we do
not maintain life support facilities for biological
entities there. Our only hope has been to locate and
rekindle the awareness, memory and identity of the ISBEs of the Lost Battalion. One day they will be capable
of rejoining us.
200 BCE --
The last remnant of the "Old Empire" pyramid
civilization is at "Teotihuacán" 181 (Footnote). The Aztec
name means “place of the gods” or “where men were
transformed into gods”. Like the astronomical
103
configuration of the Giza pyramids in Egypt, the entire
complex is a precise scale-model of the solar system
that accurately reflects the orbital distances of the
inner planets, the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Since the planet Uranus had
only been "discovered" with modern Earth telescopes in
1787, and Pluto not until 1930, it is apparent that the
builders had information from "other sources".
A common element of the Pyramid Civilizations around the
Earth is the constant use of the image of the snake,
dragon, or serpent. This is because the beings who
planted these civilizations here want to create an
illusion that the "gods" are reptilian. This is also a
part of an illusion designed to perpetuate amnesia. The
beings who placed false civilizations on Earth are ISBEs, just like you. Many of the biological bodies
inhabited by IS-BEs in the "Old Empire" are very similar
in appearance to the bodies on Earth. The "gods" are
not reptiles, although they often behave like snakes.
1,034 - 1,124 AD --
The entire Arab world was enslaved by one man: Hasan
ibn-al-Sabbah 182 (Footnote) , the Old Man of the Mountain. He
established the Hashshashin who operated a part of
Mohammedanism which controlled by terror and fear much
of India, Asia Minor and most of the Mediterranean
Basin. They became a priesthood that used an extremely
effective mind-control mechanism and extortion tool that
enabled the "Assassins" to control the civilized world
for several hundred years.
Their method was simple. Young men were kidnapped and
knocked unconscious with hashish. They were taken to a
garden filled with beautiful black-eyed houris in a
harem decorated with rivers of milk and honey. The
young men were told that they were in paradise. They
were promised they could return and live there forever
if they sacrificed themselves as an assassin of whomever
they were commanded to kill. The men were knocked out
again, and shoved out into the world to carry out the
assassination mission.
Meanwhile, the Old Man of the Mountain sent a messenger
to the caliph or, whatever wealthy ruler from whom they
demanded payment, demanding camel-loads of gold, spices,
104
incense or other valuables. If payment did not arrive
on time, the assassin would be sent to kill the
offending party. There was virtually no defense against
the unknown assailant who wanted nothing more than to
carry out his mission, be killed and return to "heaven".
This is a very crude example of how simple and effective
a brainwashing and mind-control operation can be when it
is used skillfully, and forcefully. It is a small scale
demonstration of how the amnesia mind-control operation
is used against the entire IS-BE population of Earth by
the "Old Empire".
1119 AD --
The Knights Templar 183 (Footnote) was established as a
Christian military unit after the First Crusade but
quickly transformed into the basis for the international
banking system to accumulate money to conduct the agenda
of operatives for vestiges of the "Old Empire" on Earth.
1135 - 1230 AD --
The Domain Expeditionary Force completed the
annihilation of the remaining remnants of the "Old
Empire" space fleet operating in the solar system around
Earth. Unfortunately, their long established thought
control operation remains largely intact.
1307 AD --
The Knights Templar was disbanded by King Philip IV of
France, who was deeply in debt to the Order. 184 (Footnote) He
pressured Pope Clement V to condemn the Order's members,
have them arrested, tortured them into giving false
confessions, and burned them at the stake in an effort
to erase his debt by seizing all of their wealth.
A majority of the Templars fled to Switzerland where
they established an international banking system 185
(Footnote) which secretly controls the economy of Earth.
"Old Empire" operatives act as an unseen influence on
international bankers. 186 (Footnote) The banks are operated
covertly as a on-combatant provocateur to covertly
promote and finance weapons and warfare between the
nations of Earth. Warfare is an internal mechanism of
105
control over the inmate population. 187 (Footnote)
The purpose of the senseless genocide and carnage of
wars financed by these international banks is to prevent
the IS-BEs of Earth from sharing open communication,
cooperate together in activities that might enable ISBEs to prosper, become enlightened, and escape their
imprisonment."

Chapter Ten
A Lesson In Biology
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"My debrief was also tape recorded as a back up and to add clarification to the
stenographic notes. I debriefed immediately after my interview so that everything
that was said was still fresh in my mind.
When I recounted these stories to the gallery stenographer I was still reeling a bit.
The perspective on Earth history from the point of view of The Domain is very
strange, to say the least. I wasn't sure if my uncomfortable feeling came from being
dis-oriented, or if it came from being re-oriented. Either way, I felt unsteady and
confused. Yet, at the same time, there was a ring of truth to it. I was elated and
incredulous at the same time!
The stenographer looked askance at me more than a few times as she recorded the
"history lesson" I passed on to her. I'm sure she thought I was losing my mind!
Maybe she was right. However, if my mind had been filled with hypnotic
suggestions and false memories by the "Old Empire", as Airl suggested, perhaps
losing my mind would be a good idea!
I didn't have much time to ponder my own, personal thoughts about these things at
the time. It was my duty to get all of the information I could from Airl and pass it on
to the stenographer as soon as Airl was finished. My job was not to analyze the
information, just report it as accurately as possible. The analysis would be left to the
men in the gallery, or whomever else was receiving copies of the transcripts.
I also delivered a list of books and materials requested by Airl to the agent in the
gallery room so these could be gathered and delivered to Airl. Each night after I left
Airl, she spent the rest of the night reading or "scanning" the materials which had
been delivered to her. The members of the gallery each received a transcript of the
stenographic dictation to study, each looking for information that was of interest to
them. In the morning after breakfast I reported back to the interview room to
continue my interviews or "lessons" with Airl."

(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 28. 7. 1947, 1st Session
"The origins of this universe and life on Earth, as
discussed in the textbooks I have read, are very
inaccurate. Since you serve your government as a
medical personnel, your duties require that you
understand biological entities. So, I am sure that you
will appreciate the value of the material I will share
with you today.
The text of books I have been given on subjects related
to the function of life forms contain information that
is based on false memories, inaccurate observation,
missing data, unproven theories, and superstition.
For example, just a few hundred years ago your
physicians practiced bloodletting 188 (Footnote) as a means to
release supposed ill-humors from the body in an attempt
to relieve or heal a wide variety of physical and mental
afflictions. Although this has been corrected somewhat,
many barbarisms are still being practiced in the name of
medical science.
In addition to the application of incorrect theories
concerning biological engineering, many primary errors
that Earth scientists make are the result of an
ignorance of the nature and relative importance of ISBEs as the source of energy and intelligence which
animate every life form.
Although it is not a priority of The Domain to intervene
in the affairs of Earth, The Domain Communications
Office has authorized me to provide you with some
information in an effort to provide a more accurate and
complete understanding of these things and thereby
enable you to discover more effective solutions to the
unique problems you face on Earth.
The correct information about the origins of biological
entities has been erased from your mind, as well as from
108
the minds of your mentors. In order to help you regain
your own memory, I will share with you some factual
material concerning the origin of biological entities.
I asked Airl if she was referring to the subject of
evolution. Airl said, "No, not exactly".
You will find "evolution" mentioned in the ancient Vedic
Hymns. 189 (Footnote) The Vedic texts are like folk tales or
common wisdoms and superstitions gathered throughout the
systems of The Domain. These were compiled into verses,
like a book of rhymes. For every statement of truth,
the verses contain as many half-truths, reversals of
truth and fanciful imaginings, blended without
qualification or distinction.
The theory of evolution assumes that the motivational
source of energy that animates every life form does not
exist. It assumes that an inanimate object or a
chemical concoction can suddenly become "alive" or
animate accidentally or spontaneously. Or, perhaps an
electrical discharge into a pool of chemical ooze will
magically spawn a self-animated entity.
There is no evidence whatsoever that this is true,
simply because it is not true. Dr. Frankenstein did not
really resurrect the dead into a marauding monster,
except in the imagination of the IS-BE who wrote a
fictitious story one dark and stormy night. 190 (Footnote)
No Western scientist ever stopped to consider who, what,
where, when or how this animation happens. Complete
ignorance, denial or unawareness of the spirit as the
source of life force required to animate inanimate
objects or cellular tissue is the sole cause of failures
in Western medicine.
In addition, evolution does not occur accidentally. It
requires a great deal of technology which must be
manipulated under the careful supervision of IS-BEs.
Very simple examples are seen in the modification of
farm animals or in the breeding of dogs. However, the
notion that human biological organisms evolved naturally
from earlier ape-like forms is incorrect. No physical
evidence will ever be uncovered to substantiate the
notion that modern humanoid bodies evolved on this
planet.
109
The reason is simple: the idea that human bodies evolved
spontaneously from the primordial ooze of chemical
interactivity in the dim mists of time is nothing more
than a hypnotic lie instilled by the amnesia operation
to prevent your recollection of the true origins of
Mankind. Factually, humanoid bodies have existed in
various forms throughout the universe for trillions of
years.
This was compounded by the fact that The Vedic Hymns
were brought to Earth 8,200 years ago by The Domain
Expeditionary Force. While they were based in the
Himalaya Mountains, the verses were taught to some of
the local humans who memorized them. However, I should
note that this was not an authorized activity for the
crew of The Domain installation, although I am sure it
seemed like an innocent diversion for them at the time.
The verses were passed along verbally from one
generation to the next for thousands of years in the
foothills and eventually spread throughout India. No
one in The Domain credits any of the material in the
Vedic Hymns as factual material, any more than you would
use "Grimm's Fairy Tales" 191 (Footnote) as a guide for
rearing children. However, on a planet where all of the
IS-BEs have had their memory erased, one can understand
how these tales and fantasies could be taken seriously.
Unfortunately, the humans who learned the Vedic verses
passed them along to others saying that they came from
"the gods". Eventually, the content of the verses were
adopted verbatim as "truth". The euphemistic and
metaphorical content of the Veda were accepted and
practiced as dogmatic fact. The philosophy of the
verses were ignored and the verses became the genesis of
nearly every religion practice on the planet, especially
Hinduism. 192 (Footnote)
As an officer, pilot and engineer of The Domain, I must
always assume a very pragmatic point of view. I could
not be effective or accomplish my missions if I were to
use philosophical dogma or rhetoric as my operations
manual. Therefore, our discussion of history is based
on actual events that occurred long before any IS-BEs
arrived on Earth, and long before the "Old Empire” came
110
into power. I can relate part of this history from
personal experience:
Many billions of years ago I was a member of a very
large biological laboratory in a galaxy far from this
one. It was called the "Arcadia Regeneration Company".
193 (Footnote) I was a biological engineer working with a
large staff of technicians. It was our business to
manufacture and supply new life forms to uninhabited
planets. There were millions of star systems with
millions of inhabitable planets in the region at that
time.
There were many other biological laboratory companies at
that time also. Each of them specialized in producing
different kinds of life forms, depending on the "class"
of the planet being populated. Over a long span of time
these laboratories developed a vast catalogue of species
throughout the galaxies. The majority of basic genetic
material is common to all species of life. 194 (Footnote)
Therefore, most of their work was concerned with
manipulating alterations of the basic genetic pattern to
produce variations of life forms that would be suitable
inhabitants for various planetary classes.
The "Arcadia Regeneration Company" specialized in
mammals for forested areas and birds for tropical
regions. Our marketing staff negotiated contracts with
various planetary governments and independent buyers
from all over the universe. The technicians created
animals that were compatible with the variations in
climate, atmospheric and terrestrial density and
chemical content. In addition we were paid to integrate
our specimens with biological organisms engineered by
other companies already living on a planet.
In order to do this our staff was in communication with
other companies who created life forms. There were
industry trade shows, publications and a variety of
other information supplied through an association that
coordinated related projects.
As you can imagine, our research required a great deal
of interstellar travel to conduct planetary surveys.
This is when I learned my skills as a pilot. The data
gathered was accumulated in huge computer databases and
evaluated by biological engineers. 195 (Footnote)
111
A computer is an electronic device that serves as an
artificial "brain" or complex calculating machine. It
is capable of storing information, making computations,
solving problems and performing mechanical functions.
In most of the galactic systems of the universe, very
large computers are commonly used to run the routine
administration, mechanical services and maintenance
activities of an entire planet or planetary system.
Based on the survey data gathered, designs and artistic
renderings were made for new creatures. Some designs
were sold to the highest bidder. Other life forms were
created to meet the customized requests of our clients.
The design and technical specifications were passed
along an assembly line through a series of cellular,
chemical, and mechanical engineers to solve the various
problems. It was their job to integrate all of the
component factors into a workable, functional and
aesthetic finished product.
Prototypes of these creatures were then produced and
tested in artificially created environments.
Imperfections were worked out, modifications made and
eventually the new life form was "endowed" or "animated"
with a life force or spiritual energy before being
introduced into the actual planetary environment for
final testing.
After a new life form was introduced, we monitored the
interaction of these biological organisms with the
planetary environment and with other indigenous
life-forms. Conflicts resulting from the interaction
between incompatible organisms were resolved through
negotiation between ourselves and other companies. The
negotiations usually resulted in compromises requiring
further modification to our creatures or to theirs or
both. This is part of a science or art you call
"Eugenics". 196 (Footnote)
In some cases changes were made in the planetary
environment, but not often, as planet building is much
more complex than making changes to an individual life
form.
112
Coincidentally, a friend and engineer with whom I used
to work with at the Arcadia Regeneration Company -- a
long time after I left the company -- told me that one
of the projects they contracted to do, in more recent
times, was to deliver life forms to Earth to replenish
them after a war in this region of the galaxy devastated
most of the life on the planets in this region of space.
This would have been about seventy million years ago.
The skill required to modify the planet into an
ecologically interactive environment that will support
billions of diverse species was an immense undertaking.
Specialized consultants from nearly every biotechnology
company in the galaxy were brought in to help with the
project.
What you see now on Earth is the huge variety of life
forms left behind. Your scientists believe that the
fallacious "theory of evolution" is an explanation for
the existence of all the life forms here. The truth is
that all life forms on this and any other planet in this
universe were created by companies like ours.
How else can you explain the millions of completely
divergent and unrelated species of life on the land and
in the oceans of this planet? How else can you explain
the source of spiritual animation which defines every
living creature? To say it is the work of "god", is far
too broad. Every IS-BE has many names and faces in many
times and places. Every IS-BE is a god. When they
inhabit a physical object they are the source of Life.
For example, there are millions of species 197 (Footnote) of
insects. About 350,000 of these are species of beetles.
198 (Footnote) There may be as many as 100 million species of
life forms on Earth at any given time. In addition,
there are many times more extinct species of life on
Earth than there are living life forms. Some of these
will be rediscovered in the fossil or geological records
of Earth.
The current "theory of evolution" of life forms on Earth
does not consider the phenomena of biological diversity.
Evolution by natural selection is science fiction. One
species does not accidentally, or randomly evolve to
become another species, as the Earth textbooks indicate,
113
without manipulation of genetic material by an IS-BE. 199
(Footnote)
A simple example of IS-BE intervention is the selective
breeding of a species 200 (Footnote) on Earth. Within the past
few hundred years several hundred dog breeds and
hundreds of varieties of pigeons and dozens of Koi fish
have been "evolved" in just a few years, beginning with
only one original breed. Without active intervention by
IS-BEs, biological organisms rarely change.
The development of an animal like the 'duck-billed
platypus' required a lot of very clever engineering to
combine the body of a beaver with the bill of a duck and
make a mammal that lays eggs. Undoubtedly, some wealthy
client placed a "special order" for it as a gift or
curious amusement. I am sure the laboratory of some
biotechnical company worked on it for years to make it a
self-replicating life form!
The notion that the creation of any life form could have
resulted from a coincidental chemical interaction
moldering up from some primordial ooze is beyond
absurdity! Factually, some organisms on Earth, such as
Proteobacteria, 201 (Footnote) are modifications of a Phylum 202
(Footnote) designed primarily for "Star Type 3, Class C"
planets. In other words, The Domain designation for a
planet with an anaerobic atmosphere nearest a large,
intensely hot blue star, 203 (Footnote) such as those in the
constellation of Orion's Belt in this galaxy.
Creating life forms is very complex, highly technical
work for IS-BEs who specialize in this field. Genetic
anomalies are very baffling to Earth biologists who have
had their memory erased. Unfortunately, the false
memory implantations of the "Old Empire" prevent Earth
scientists from observing obvious anomalies.
The greatest technical challenge of biological organisms
was the invention of self-regeneration, or sexual
reproduction. It was invented as the solution to the
problem of having to continually manufacture replacement
creatures for those that had been destroyed and eaten by
other creatures. Planetary governments did not want to
keep buying replacement animals.
114
The idea was contrived trillions of years ago as a
result of a conference held to resolve arguments between
the disputing vested interests within the biotechnology
industry. The infamous "Council of Yuhmi-Krum" was
responsible for coordinating creature production.
204 (Footnote)
A compromise was reached, after certain members of the
Council were strategically bribed or murdered, to author
an agreement which resulted in the biological phenomenon
which we now call the "food chain".
The idea that a creature would need to consume the body
of another life form as an energy source was offered as
a solution by one of the biggest companies in the
biological engineering business. They specialized in
creating insects and flowering plants.
The connection between the two is obvious. Nearly every
flowering plant requires a symbiotic relationship with
an insect in order to propagate. The reason is obvious:
both the bugs and the flowers were created by the same
company. Unfortunately, this same company also had a
division which created parasites and bacteria.
The name of the company roughly translated into English
would be "Bugs & Blossoms" . They wanted to justify the
fact that the only valid purpose of the parasitic
creatures they manufactured was to aid the decomposition
of organic material. There was a very limited market
for such creatures at that time.
In order to expand their business they hired a big
public relations firm and a powerful group of political
lobbyists to glorify the idea that life forms should
feed from other life forms. They invented a "scientific
theory" to use as a promotion gimmick. The theory was
that all creatures needed to have "food" as a source of
energy. Before that, none of the life forms being
manufactured required any external energy. Animals did
not eat other animals for food, but consumed sunlight,
minerals or vegetable matter only.
Of course, "Bugs & Blossoms" went into the business of
designing and manufacturing carnivores. Before long, so
many animals were being eaten as food that the problem
of replenishing them became very difficult. As a
115
'solution', "Bugs & Blossoms" proposed, with the help of
some strategically placed bribes in high places, that
other companies begin using 'sexual reproduction' as the
basis for replenishing life-forms. "Bugs & Blossoms"
was the first company to develop blueprints for sexual
reproduction, of course.
As expected, the patent licenses for the biological
engineering process 205 (Footnote) required to implant
stimulus-response mating, cellular division and preprogrammed growth patterns for self-regenerating animals
were owned by "Bugs & Blossoms" too.
Through the next few million years laws were passed that
required that these programs be purchased by the other
biological technology companies. These were required to
be imprinted into the cellular design of all existing
life-forms. It became a very expensive undertaking for
other biotechnology companies to make such an awkward,
and impractical idea work.
This led to the corruption and downfall of the entire
industry. Ultimately, the 'food and sex' idea
completely ruined the bio-technology industry, including
"Bugs & Blossoms". The entire industry faded away as
the market for manufactured life forms disappeared.
Consequently, when a species became extinct, there is no
way to replace them because the technology of creating
new life forms has been lost. Obviously, none of this
technology was ever known on Earth, and probably never
will be.
There are still computer files on some planets far from
here which record the procedures for biological
engineering. Possibly the laboratories and computers
still exist somewhere. However, there is no one around
doing anything with them. Therefore, you can understand
why it is so important for The Domain to protect the
dwindling number of creatures left on Earth.
The core concept behind 'sexual reproduction' technology
was the invention of a chemical/electronic interaction
called "cyclical stimulus-response generators". 206 (Footnote)
This is an programmed genetic mechanism which causes a
seemingly spontaneous, recurring impulse to reproduce.
The same technique was later adapted and applied to
biological flesh bodies, including Homo Sapiens.
116
Another important mechanism used in the reproductive
process, especially with Homo Sapiens type bodies, is
the implantation of a "chemical-electrical trigger"
mechanism 207 (Footnote) in the body. The "trigger" which
attracts IS-BEs to inhabit a human body, or any kind of
"flesh body", is the use of an artificially imprinted
electronic wave which uses "aesthetic pain" to attract
the IS-BE.
Every trap in the universe, including those used to
capture IS-BEs who remain free, is "baited" with an
aesthetic electronic wave. The sensations caused by the
aesthetic wavelength are more attractive to an IS-BE
than any other sensation. When the electronic waves of
pain and beauty are combined together, this causes the
IS-BE to get "stuck" in the body.
The "reproductive trigger" used for lesser life forms,
such as cattle and other mammals, is triggered by
chemicals emitted from the scent glands, combined with
reproductive chemical-electrical impulses stimulated by
testosterone, or estrogen. 208 (Footnote)
These are also interactive with nutrition levels which
cause the life form to reproduce more when deprived of
food sources. Starvation promoted reproductive activity
as a means of perpetuating survival through future
regenerations, when the current organism fails to
survive. These fundamental principles have been applied
throughout all species of life.
The debilitating impact and addiction to the "sexual
aesthetic-pain" electronic wave 209 (Footnote) is the reason
that the ruling class of The Domain do not inhabit flesh
bodies. This is also why officers of The Domain Forces
only use doll bodies. This wave has proven to be the
most effective trapping device ever created in the
history of the universe, as far as I know.
The civilizations of The Domain and the "Old Empire"
both depend on this device to "recruit" and maintain a
work force of IS-BEs who inhabit flesh bodies on planets
and installations. These IS-BEs are the "working class"
beings who do all of the slavish, manual, undesirable
work on planets.
117
As I mentioned, there is a very highly regimented and
fixed hierarchy or "class system" for all IS-BEs
throughout the "Old Empire", and The Domain, as follows:
The highest class are "free" IS-BEs. That is, they are
not restricted to the use of any type of body and may
come and go at will, provided that they do not destroy
or interfere with the social, economic or political
structure.
Below this class are many strata of "limited" IS-BEs who
may or may not use a body from time to time.
Limitations are imposed on each IS-BE regarding range of
power, ability and mobility they can exercise.
Below these are the "doll body" classes, to which I
belong. Nearly all space officers and crew members of
space craft are required to travel through intergalactic
space. Therefore, they are each equipped with a body
manufactured from light weight, durable materials.
Various body types have been designed to facilitate
specialized functions. Some bodies have accessories,
such as interchangeable tools or apparatus for
activities such as maintenance, mining, chemical
management, navigation, and so forth. There are many
gradations of this body type which also serve as an
"insignia" of rank.
Below these are the soldier class. The soldiers are
equipped with a myriad of weapons, and specialized
armaments designed to detect, combat and overwhelm any
imaginable foe. Some soldiers are issued mechanical
bodies. Most soldiers are merely remote controlled
robots with no class designation.
The lower classes are limited to "flesh bodies". Of
course, it is not possible for these to travel through
space for obvious reasons. Fundamentally, flesh bodies
are far too fragile to endure the stresses of gravity,
temperature extremes, radiation exposure, atmospheric
chemicals and the vacuum of space. There are also the
obvious logistical inconveniences of food, defecation,
sleep, atmospheric elements, and air pressure required
by flesh bodies, that doll bodies do not require.
Most flesh bodies will suffocate in only a few minutes
without a specific combination of atmospheric chemicals.
118
After 2 or 3 days the bacteria which live internally and
externally on the body cause severe odors to be emitted.
Odors of any kind are not acceptable in a space vessel.
Flesh can tolerate only a very limited spectrum of
temperatures, whereas in space the contrast of
temperatures may vary hundreds of degrees within
seconds. Of course flesh bodies are utterly useless for
military duty. A single shot from a hand-held,
electronic blast gun instantly turns a flesh body into a
noxious vapor cloud.
IS-BEs who inhabit flesh bodies have lost much of their
native ability and power. Although it is theoretically
possible to regain or rehabilitate these abilities, no
practical means has been discovered or authorized by The
Domain.
Even though space craft of The Domain travel trillions
of "light years" in a single day, 210 (Footnote) the time
required to traverse the space between galaxies is
significant, not to mention the length of time to
complete just one set of mission orders, which may
require thousands of years. Biological flesh bodies
live for only a very short time -- only 60 to 150 years,
at most -- whereas doll bodies can be re-used and
repaired almost indefinitely.
The first development of biological bodies began in this
universe about seventy-four trillion years ago. It
rapidly became a fad for IS-BEs to create and inhabit
various types of bodies for an assortment of nefarious
reasons: especially for amusement, this is to
experience various physical sensations vicariously
through the body.
Since that time there has been a continuing "deevolution" in the relationship of IS-BEs to bodies. As
IS-BEs continued to play around with these bodies,
certain tricks were introduced to cause IS-BEs to get
trapped inside a body so they were unable to leave
again.
This was done primarily by making bodies that appeared
sturdy, but were actually very fragile. An IS-BE, using
their natural power to create energy, accidentally
injured a body when contacting it. The IS-BE was
119
remorseful about having injured this fragile body. The
next time they encountered a body they began to be
"careful" with them. In so doing, the IS-BE would
withdraw or minimize their own power so as not to injure
the body. A very long and treacherous history of this
kind of trickery, combined with similar misadventures
eventually resulted in a large number of IS-BEs becoming
permanently trapped in bodies.
Of course this became a profitable enterprise for some
IS-BEs who took advantage of this situation to make
slaves of others. The resulting enslavement progressed
over trillions of years, and continues today.
Ultimately the dwindling ability of IS-BEs to maintain a
personal state of operational freedom and ability to
create energy resulted in the vast and carefully guarded
hierarchy or class system. Using bodies as a symbol of
each class is used throughout the "Old Empire", as well
as The Domain.
The vast majority of IS-BEs throughout the galaxies of
this universe inhabit some form of flesh body. The
structure, appearance, operation and habitat of these
bodies vary according to the gravity, atmosphere, and
climatic conditions of the planet they inhabit. Body
types are predetermined largely by the type and size of
the star around which the planet revolves, the distance
from the star, the geological, as well as the
atmospheric components of the planet.
On the average, these stars and planets fall into
gradients of classification which are fairly standard
throughout the universe. For example, Earth is
identified, roughly, as a "Sun Type 12, Class 7 planet".
That is a heavy gravity, nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere
planet, 211 (Footnote) with biological life-forms, in
proximity to a single, yellow, medium-size, lowradiation sun or "Type 12 star". The proper
designations are difficult to translate accurately due
to the extreme limitations of astronomical nomenclature
in the English language.
There are as many varieties of life forms as there are
grains of sands on the beach. You can imagine how many
different creatures and types of bodies have been
manufactured by the millions of companies such as "Bugs
120
& Blossoms" for all of the myriad planetary systems
during the course of seventy-four trillion years!"
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"When Airl finished telling me this "story", there was a long, silent pause while I
muddled through all this in my mind. Had Airl been reading science fiction books
and fantasy stories during the night? Why would she tell me something so incredibly
far-fetched? If there had not been a 40 inch tall alien, with gray "skin", and three
fingers on each hand and foot sitting directly across from me, I would not have
believed a single word of it!
In retrospect, over the 60 years since Airl gave me this information, Earth doctors
have begun to develop some of the biological engineering technology that Airl told
me about right here on Earth. Heart bypasses, cloning, test tube babies, organ
transplants, plastic surgery, genes, chromosomes, and so forth.
One thing is very sure: I have never looked at a bug or flower the same way since
then, not to mention my religious belief in Genesis."

Chapter Eleven
A Lesson In Science
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"The transcript of this interview is verbatim. There is nothing more I can add to
it. It says everything".
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 29. 7. 1947, 1st Session
"Today Airl told me about some very technical things. I
took a few notes to remind myself, so I can repeat what
she said as closely as possible. She began with an
analogy about scientific knowledge:
Can you imagine how much progress could have been made
on Earth if people like Johannes Gutenberg 212 (Footnote), Sir
Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington
Carver, 213 (Footnote) Nicola Tesla, Jonas Salk, 214 (Footnote) and
Richard Trevithick,215 (Footnote) and many thousands of
similar geniuses and inventors were living today?
Image what technical accomplishments might have been
developed if men like these never died? What if they
were never given amnesia and made to forget everything
they knew? What if they continued to learn and work
forever?
What level of technology and civilization could be
attained if Immortal Spiritual Beings like these were
122
allowed to continue to create -- in the same place and
at the same time -- for billions or trillions of years?
Essentially, The Domain is one civilization that has
existed for trillions of years with relatively
uninterrupted progress. Knowledge has been accumulated,
refined, and improved upon in nearly every field of
study imaginable -- and beyond imagining.
Originally, the interaction of IS-BE illusions or
inventions created the very fabric of the physical
universe -- the microcosm and the macrocosm. Every
single particle of the universe has been imagined and
brought into existence by an IS-BE. Everything created
from an idea -- a thought with no weight or size or
location in space.
Every speck of dust in space, from the size of the
tiniest subatomic particle, to the size of a sun or a
magelantic cloud the size of many galaxies, was created
from the nothingness of a thought. Even the tiniest,
individual cells were contrived and coordinated to
enable a microbial entity to sense, and navigate through
infinitesimally small spaces. These also came from an
idea thought up by an IS-BE.
You, and every IS-BE on Earth, have participated in the
creation of this universe. Even though you are now
confined to a fragile body made of flesh; you live for
only 65 short rotations of your planet around a star;
you have been given overwhelming electric shock
treatments to wipe out your memory; you must learn
everything all over again each lifetime; in spite of all
these circumstances, you are who you are and will always
be. And, deep down, you still know that your are and
what you know. You are still the essence of you.
How else can one understand the child prodigy? An IS-BE
who plays concertos on a piano at three years of age,
without formal training? Impossible, if they did not
simply remember what they have already learned from
thousands of lives spent in front of a keyboard in times
untold, or on planets far away. They may not know how
they know. They just know.
Humankind has developed more technology in the past 100
years than in the previous 2,000 years. Why? The
123
answer is simple: the influence of the "Old Empire"
over the mind and over the affairs of Mankind has been
diminished by The Domain.
A renaissance 216 (Footnote) of invention on Earth began in
1,250 AD with the destruction of the "Old Empire" space
fleet in the solar system. During the next 500 years,
Earth may have the potential to regain autonomy and
independence, but only to the degree that humankind can
apply the concentrated genius of the IS-BEs on Earth to
solve the amnesia problem.
However, on a cautionary note, the inventive potential
of the IS-BEs who have been exiled to this planet is
severely compromised by the criminal elements of the
Earth population. Specifically, politicians, warmongers and irresponsible physicists who create
unlimited weapons such as nuclear bombs, chemicals,
diseases and social chaos. These have the potential to
extinguish all life forms on Earth, forever.
Even the relatively small explosions that were tested
and used in the past two years on Earth have the
potential to destroy all of life, if deployed in
sufficient quantities. Larger weapons could consume all
of the oxygen in the global atmosphere in a single
explosion! 217 (Footnote)
Therefore, the most fundamental problems that must be
solved in order to ensure that Earth will not be
destroyed by technology, are social and humanitarian
problems. The greatest scientific minds of Earth, in
spite of mathematical or mechanical genius, have never
addressed these problems.
Therefore, do not look to scientists to save Earth or
the future of humanity. Any so-called "science" that is
solely based on the paradigm 218 (Footnote) that existence is
composed only of energy and objects moving through space
is not a science. Such beings utterly ignore the
creative spark originated by an individual IS-BE and
collective work of the IS-BEs who continually create the
physical universe and all universes. Every science will
remain relatively ineffective or destructive to the
degree that it omits or devaluates the relative
importance of the spiritual spark that ignites all of
creation and life.
124
Unfortunately this ignorance has been very carefully and
forcefully instilled in human beings by the "Old Empire"
to ensure that IS-BEs on this planet will not be able to
recover their innate ability to create space, energy,
matter and time, or any other component part of
universes. As long as awareness of the immortal,
powerful, spiritual "self" is ignored, humanity will
remain imprisoned until the day of its own, selfdestruction and oblivion.
Do not rely on the dogma of physical sciences to master
the fundamental forces of creation any more than you
would trust the chanted incantations of an incenseburning shaman. The net result of both of these is
entrapment and oblivion. Scientists pretend to observe,
but they only suppose that they see, and call it fact.
Like the blind man, a scientist can not learn to see
until he realizes that he is blind. The "facts" of
Earth science do not include the source of creation.
They include only the result, or byproducts of creation.
The "facts" of science to not include any memory of the
nearly infinite past experience of existence.
The essence of creation and existence cannot be found
through the lens of a microscope or telescope or by any
other measurement of the physical universe. One cannot
comprehend the perfume of a flower or the pain felt by
an abandoned lover with meters and calipers.
Everything you will ever know about the creative force
and ability of a god can be found within you -- an
Immortal Spiritual Being.
How can a blind man teach others to see the nearly
infinite gradients that comprise the spectrum of light?
The notion that one can understand the universe without
understanding the nature of an IS-BE is as absurd as
conceiving that an artist is a speck of paint on his own
canvas. Or, that the lace on a ballet shoe is the
choreographer's vision, or the grace of a dancer, or the
electric excitement of opening night.
Study of the spirit has been booby-trapped by the
thought control operation through religious
superstitions they instill in the minds of men.
Conversely, the study of the spirit and the mind have
125
been prohibited by science which eliminates anything
that is not measurable in the physical universe.
Science is the religion of matter. It worships matter.
The paradigm of science is that creation is all, and the
creator is nothing. Religion says the creator is all,
and the creation is nothing. These two extremes are the
bars of a prison cell. They prevent observation of all
phenomenon as an interactive whole.
Study of creation without knowing the IS-BE, the source
of creation, is futile. When you sail to the edge of a
universe conceived by science, you fall off the end into
an abyss of dark, dispassionate space and lifeless,
unrelenting force. On Earth, you have been convinced
that the oceans of the mind and spirit are filled with
gruesome, ghoulish monsters that will eat you alive if
you dare to venture beyond the breakwater of
superstition.
The vested interest of the "Old Empire" prison system is
to prevent you from looking at your own soul. They fear
that you will see in your own memory the slave masters
who keep you imprisoned. The prison is made of shadows
in your mind. The shadows are made of lies, and pain,
and loss, and fear.
The true geniuses of civilization are those IS-BEs who
will enable other IS-BEs to recover their memory and
regain self-realization and self-determination. This
issue is not solved through enforcing moral regulation
on behavior, or through the control of beings through
mystery, faith, drugs, guns or any other dogma of a
slave society. And certainly not through the use of
electric shock and hypnotic commands!
The survival of Earth and every being on it depends on
the ability to recover the memory of skills you have
accrued through the trillenia; to recover the essence
of yourself. Such an art, science, or technology has
never been conceived in the "Old Empire". Otherwise,
they would not have resorted to the "solution" that
brought you to your current condition on Earth.
Neither has such technology ever been developed by The
Domain. Until recently, the necessity of rehabilitating
an IS-BE with amnesia has not been needed. Therefore,
126
no one has ever worked on solving this problem. So far,
unfortunately, The Domain has no solution to offer.
A few officers of The Domain Expeditionary Force have
taken it upon themselves to provide technology to Earth
during their off duty time. These officers leave their
"doll" at the space station and, as an IS-BE, assume or
take over a biological body on Earth. In some cases an
officer can remain on duty while they inhabit and
control other bodies at the same time.
This is a very dangerous and adventurous undertaking.
It requires a very able IS-BE to accomplish such a
mission, and return to base successfully. One officer
who did this recently, while continuing to attend to his
official duties, was known on Earth as the electronics
inventor, Nicola Tesla. 219 (Footnote)
It is my intention, although is not a part of my mission
orders, to assist you in your efforts to advance
scientific and humanitarian progress on Earth. My
intention is to help other IS-BEs to help themselves. In
order to solve the amnesia problem on Earth you will
need much more advanced technology, as well as social
stability to allow enough time for research and
development of techniques to free the IS-BE from the
body, and to free the mind of the IS-BE from amnesia.
Although The Domain has a long term interest in
maintaining Earth as a useful planet, it has no
particular interest in the human population of Earth,
other than its own personnel here. We are interested in
preventing destruction, as well as accelerating the
development of technologies that will sustain the
infrastructures of the global biosphere, hydrosphere and
atmosphere.
To this end, you will discover, on very careful and
thorough examination, that my space craft contains a
wide assortment of technology that does not yet exist on
Earth. If you distribute pieces of this craft to
various scientists for study, they will be able to
reverse engineer 220 (Footnote) some of the technology to the
extent that Earth has the raw materials required to
replicate these components.
127
Some features will be indecipherable. Other features
cannot be duplicated as Earth does not have the natural
resources required to replicate them. This is
especially true of the metals used to construct the
craft. Not only do these metals not exist on Earth, the
refining process required to produce these metals took
billions of years to develop.
It is also true of the navigation system which requires
an IS-BE whose own personal wavelength has been
specifically attuned to the "neural network" of the
craft. 221 (Footnote) The pilot of the craft must possess a
very high order of energy volition, discipline, training
and intelligence to manipulate such a craft. IS-BEs on
Earth are incapable of this expertise because it
requires the use of an artificial body specifically
created for this purpose.
Certain individual Earth scientists, some of whom are
among the most brilliant minds in the history of the
universe, will have their memory of this technology
jogged when they examine the craft components. Just as
some of the scientists and physicists on Earth have been
able to "remember" how to recreate electric generators,
internal combustion and steam locomotion, refrigeration,
aircraft, antibiotics, and other tools of your
civilization, they will also rediscover other vital
technology in my craft.
The following are the specific systems embodied in my
craft that contain useful components:
1) There is an assortment of microscopic wiring or
fibers 222 (Footnote) within the walls of the craft that
control such things as communications, information
storage, computer function, and automatic navigation.
2) The same wiring is used for light, sub-light and
ultra-light spectrum detection and vision. 223 (Footnote)
3) The fabrics of the interior of the craft 224 (Footnote) are
far superior to any on Earth at this time and have
hundreds or thousands of applications.
4) You will also find mechanisms for creating,
amplifying and channeling light particles or waves as a
form of energy. 225 (Footnote)
128
As an officer, pilot and engineer of The Domain Forces,
I am not at liberty to discuss or convey the detailed
operation or construction of the craft in any way, other
than what I have just disclosed. However, I am
confident that there are many competent engineers on
Earth who will develop useful technology with these
resources.
I am providing these details to you in the hope that the
greater good of The Domain will be served."

Chapter Twelve
A Lesson In Immortality
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"I think the following transcript is pretty much self-explanatory."
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 30. 7. 1947, 1st Session
Immortal Spiritual Beings, which I refer to as "IS-BEs",
for the sake of convenience, are the source and creators
of illusions. Each one, individually and collectively,
in their original, unfettered state of being, are an
eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing entity.
IS-BEs create space by imagining a location. The
intervening distance between themselves and the imagined
location is what we call space. An IS-BE can perceive
the space and objects created by other IS-BEs.
IS-BEs are not physical universe entities. They are a
source of energy and illusion. IS-BEs are not located
in space or time, but can create space, place particles
in space, create energy, and shape particles into
various forms, cause the motion of forms, and animate
forms. Any form that is animated by an IS-BE is called
life.
An IS-BE can decide to agree that they are located in
space or time, and that they, themselves, are an object,
or any other manner of illusion created by themselves or
another or other IS-BEs.
The disadvantage of creating an illusion is that an
illusion must be continually created. If not
continually created, it disappears. Continual creation
130
of an illusion requires incessant attention to every
detail of the illusion in order to sustain it.
A common denominator of IS-BEs seems to be the desire to
avoid boredom. A spirit only, without interaction with
other IS-BEs, and the unpredictable motion, drama, and
unanticipated intentions and illusions being created by
other IS-BEs, is easily bored.
What if you could imagine anything, perceive everything,
and cause anything to happen, at will? What if you
couldn't do anything else? What if you always knew the
outcome of every game and the answer to every question?
Would you get bored?
The entire back time track of IS-BEs is immeasurable,
nearly infinite in terms of physical universe time.
There is no measurable "beginning" or "end" for an ISBE. They simply exist in an everlasting now.
Another common denominator of IS-BEs is that admiration
of one's own illusions by others is very desirable. If
the desired admiration is not forthcoming, the IS-BE
will keep creating the illusion in an attempt to get
admiration. One could say that the entire physical
universe is made of unadmired illusions.
The origins of this universe began with the creation of
individual, illusionary spaces. These were the "home"
of the IS-BE. Sometimes a universe is a collaborative
creation of illusions by two or more IS-BEs. A
proliferation of IS-BEs, and the universes they create,
sometimes collide or become commingled or merge to an
extent that many IS-BEs shared in the co-creation of a
universe.
IS-BEs diminish their ability in order to have a game to
play. IS-BEs think that any game is better than no
game. They will endure pain, suffering, stupidity,
privation, and all manner of unnecessary and undesirable
conditions, just to play a game. Pretending that one
does not know all, see all and cause all, is a way to
create the conditions necessary for playing a game:
unknowns, freedoms, barriers and/or opponents and goals.
Ultimately, playing a game solves the problem of
boredom.
131
In this fashion, all of the space, galaxies, suns,
planets, and physical phenomena of this universe,
including life forms, places, and events that have been
created by IS-BEs and sustained by mutual agreement that
these things exist.
There are as many universes as there are IS-BEs to
imagine, build and perceive them, each existing
concurrently within its own continuum. 226 (Footnote) Each
universe is created using its own, unique set of rules,
as imagined, altered, preserved or destroyed by one or
more IS-BEs who created it. Time, energy, objects and
space, as defined in terms of the physical universe, may
or may not exist in other universes. The Domain exists
in such a universe, as well as in the physical universe.
One of the rules of the physical universe is that energy
can be created, but not destroyed. So, the universe
will keep expanding as long as IS-BEs keep adding more
new energy into it. It is nearly infinite. It is like
an automobile assembly line that never stops running and
none of the cars are ever destroyed.
Every IS-BE is basically good. Therefore, an IS-BE does
not enjoy doing things to other IS-BEs which they
themselves do not want to experience. For an IS-BE
there is no inherent standard for what is good or bad,
right or wrong, ugly or beautiful. These ideas are all
based on the opinion of each individual IS-BE.
The closest concept that human beings have to describe
an IS-BE is as a god: all-knowing, all-powerful,
infinite. So, how does a god stop being a god? They
pretend NOT to know. How can you play a game of "hide
and seek" if you always know where the other person is
hiding?
You pretend NOT to know where the other players are
hiding, so you can go off to "seek" them. This is how
games are created. You have forgotten that you are just
"pretending". In so doing, IS-BEs become entrapped and
enslaved inside a maze of their own devising.
How does one create a cage, lock one's own self inside
the cage, throw away the key, and forget there is a key
or a cage, and forget there is an "inside" or "outside",
and even forget there is a self? Create the illusion
132
that there is no illusion: the entire universe is real,
and that no other universe exists or can be created.
On Earth, the propaganda taught and agreed upon is that
the gods are responsible, and that human beings are not
responsible. You are taught that only a god can
create universes. So, the responsibility for every
action is assigned to another IS-BE or god. Never
oneself.
No human being ever assumes personal responsibility for
the fact that they, themselves -- individually and
collectively -- are gods. This fact alone is the source
of entrapment for every IS-BE.
133
Chapter Thirteen
A Lesson In The Future
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"I think this transcript speaks for itself also. I relayed Airl's exact communication as
faithfully as possible. My superior officers became very alarmed about the possible
military implications of what Airl said in this interview."
(OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEW)
TOP SECRET
Official Transcript of the U.S. Army Air Force
Roswell Army Air Field, 509th Bomb Group
SUBJECT: ALIEN INTERVIEW, 31. 7. 1947, 1st Session
" 'It is my personal belief that the truth should not be
sacrificed on the altar of political, religious or
economic expediency. 227 (Footnote) As an officer, pilot and
engineer of The Domain it is my duty to protect the
greater good of The Domain and its possessions. However,
we cannot defend ourselves against forces of which we
are not aware.
The isolation of Earth from the rest of civilization
prevents me from discussing many subjects with you at
this time. Security and protocol prevent me from
revealing any but the broadest, general statements about
the plans and activities of The Domain. However, I can
give you some information that you may find useful.
I must return to my assigned duties on the "space
station" now. I have provided as much help as I feel
ethically able to offer, given the requirements and
constraints of my duties as an officer, pilot and
engineer of The Domain Forces. Therefore, I will
depart, as an IS-BE, from Earth within the next 24
hours.'
134
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following several paragraphs appear to be personal
comments made by Matilda to the stenographer regarding her interview with
Airl.)
What this means is that Airl will leave her "doll" with
us, as her craft is damaged beyond repair. We can
examine, dissect and study the body at our leisure. She
does not have any further use for it, nor does she have
any personal feelings or attachments to it as others are
readily available for her use.
Airl does not recommend that there is any technology in
the body that Earth scientists will find useful,
however. The technology of the body is simple, yet
vastly beyond the reckoning of our current ability to
analyze or reverse engineer any facet of it. The body
is neither biological or mechanical, but a unique
fabrication a materials and ancient technologies not
found on any Earth-type planet.
As Airl mentioned previously, a very rigid and
distinctive hierarchy of social, economic and cultural
classes exists throughout The Domain which has remained
unvaried and inviolate for many millennia. The body
type and function assigned to an IS-BE officer varies
specifically according to the rank, class, longevity,
training level, command level, service record, and
meritorious citations earned by each individual IS-BE,
as with any other military insignia.
The body used by Airl is specifically designed for an
officer, pilot and engineer of her rank and class. The
bodies of her companions, which were destroyed in the
crash, were not of the same rank or class, but of a
junior rank. Therefore, the appearance, features,
composition and functionality of those bodies were
specialized, and limited to the requirements of their
duties.
The junior officers whose bodies were damaged in the
crash have left their bodies and returned to their
duties on the space station. The damage suffered by
their bodies was due primarily to the fact that they
were officers of lower rank. They used bodies which were
partially biological and therefore far less durable and
resilient than hers.
135
(EDITOR'S NOTE: At this point, the transcript appears to resume with
statements made by Airl.)
Although The Domain will not hesitate to destroy any
active vestiges of the "Old Empire" operations where
ever they are discovered this is not our primary mission
in this galaxy. I am sure that the "Old Empire" mindcontrol mechanisms can be deactivated and destroyed
eventually. However, it is not possible to estimate how
long this make take, as we do not understand the extent
of this operation at this time.
We do know that the "Old Empire" force screen is vast
enough to cover this end of the galaxy, at least. We
also know from experience that each force generator and
trapping device is very difficult to detect, locate and
destroy. Also, it is not the current mission of The
Domain Expeditionary Force to commit resources to this
endeavor.
The eventual destruction of these devices may make it
possible for your memory to be restored, simply by
virtue of not having it erased after each lifetime.
Fortunately, the memory of an IS-BE cannot be
permanently erased.
There are many other active space civilizations who
maintain various nefarious operations in this area, not
the least of which is dumping unwanted IS-BEs on Earth.
None of these craft are hostile or in violent opposition
to The Domain Forces. They know better than to
challenge us!
For the most part The Domain ignores Earth and its
inhabitants, except to ensure that the resources of the
planet itself are not permanently spoiled. This sector
of the galaxy was annexed by The Domain and is the
possession of The Domain, to do with or dispose of as it
deems best. The moon of Earth and the asteroid belt
have become a permanent base of operations for The
Domain Forces.
Needless to say, any attempt by humans or others to
interfere in the activities of The Domain in this solar
system -- even if it were possible, which it definitely
is not -- will be terminated swiftly. This is not a
136
serious concern, as I mentioned earlier, since homo
sapiens cannot operate in open space.
Of course we will continue with the next steps of The
Domain Expansion Plan which has remained on schedule for
billions of years. Over the next 5,000 years there will
be increasing traffic and activity of The Domain Forces
as we progress toward the center of this galaxy and
beyond to spread our civilization through the universe.
If humanity is to survive, it must cooperate to find
effective solutions to the difficult conditions of your
existence on Earth. Humanity must rise above its human
form and discover where they are, and that they are ISBEs, and who they really are as IS-BEs in order to
transcend the notion that they are merely biological
bodies. Once these realizations have been made, it may
be possible to escape your current imprisonment.
Otherwise, there will be no future for the IS-BEs on
Earth.
Although there are no active battles or war being waged
between The Domain and the "Old Empire", there still
exists the covert actions of the "Old Empire" taken
against Earth through their thought control operation.
When one knows that these activities exist, the effects
can be observed clearly. The most obvious examples of
these actions against the human race can be seen as
incidents of sudden, inexplicable behavior. A very
recent instance of this occurred in the United States
military just before the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor. 228 (Footnote)
Just three days before the attack, someone in authority
ordered all the ships in Pearl Harbor to go into port
and secure for inspection. The ships were ordered to
take all the ammunition out of their magazines, and
store it below. On the afternoon before attack all of
the admirals and generals were attending parties, even
though two Japanese aircraft carriers were discovered
standing right off Pearl Harbor.
The obvious action to take would have been to contact
Pearl Harbor by telephone to warn them of the danger of
a fight starting and to put the ammunition back and
order the ships to get out of port into open sea.
137
About six hours before the Japanese attack began, a U.S.
navy ship sank a small Japanese submarine right outside
the harbor. Instead of contacting Pearl Harbor by
telephone to report the incident, a warning message was
put into top secret code, which took about two hours to
encode, and then it took another two hours to decode.
The word of warning to Pearl Harbor did not arrive until
10:00 AM Pearl Harbor time, Sunday -- two hours after
the Japanese attack destroyed the U.S. fleet.
How do things like this happen?
If the men who were responsible for these obviously
disastrous errors were stood up and asked bluntly to
justify their actions and intentions you would find out
that they were quite sincere in their jobs. Ordinarily,
they do the very best they can do for people and
nations. However, all of a sudden, from some
completely unknown and undetectable source enters these
wild, unexplainable situations that just 'can't exist'.
The "Old Empire" thought control operation is run by a
small group of old "baboons" with very small minds.
They are playing insidious games with no purpose and no
goal other than to control and destroy IS-BEs who could
otherwise manage themselves perfectly well, if left
alone.
These types of artificially created incidents are being
forced upon the human race by the operators of the mindcontrol prison system. The prison guards will always
promote and support oppressive or totalitarian
activities of IS-BEs on Earth. Why not keep the inmates
fighting between themselves? Why not empower madmen to
run the governments of Earth? The men who run the
criminal governments of Earth mirror the commands given
them by covert thought-controllers of the "Old Empire".
The human race will continue to shadow box with this for
a long time -- as long as it remains the human race.
Until then, the IS-BEs on Earth will continue to live a
series of consecutive lives, over and over and over.
The same IS-BEs who lived during the rise and fall of
civilizations in India, China, Mesepotamia, Greece, and
Rome are inhabiting bodies in the present time in
America, France, Russia, Africa, and around the world.
138
In between each lifetime an IS-BE is sent back again, to
begin all over, as though the new life was the only life
they had ever lived. They begin anew in pain, in
misery, and mystery.
Some IS-BEs have been transported to Earth more recently
than others. Some IS-BEs have been on Earth only a few
hundred years, so they have no personal experiences with
the earlier civilizations of Earth. They have no
experiences of having lived on Earth, so could not
remember a previous existence here, even if their memory
was restored. They might, however, remember lives they
lived elsewhere on other planets and in other times.
Others have been here since the first days of Lemuria.
In any case, the IS-BEs of Earth are here forever, until
they can break the amnesia cycle, conquer the electronic
traps set up by their captors and free themselves.
Because The Domain has three thousand of their own ISBEs in captivity on Earth also, they have an interest in
solving this problem. This problem has never been
encountered or effectively solved before in the
universe, as far as they know. They will continue their
efforts to free those IS-BEs from Earth, where and when
it is possible, but it will require time to develop an
unprecedented technology and the diligence to do so.'
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following statement is a comment by Matilda.)
I think it is Airl's sincere desire, as one IS-BE to
another, that the rest of our eternity will be as
pleasant as possible."
139
Chapter Fourteen
Airl Reviews The Interview Transcripts
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"Shortly after I finished recounting the previous interview with Airl to the
stenographer, I was summoned urgently to the office of the Commanding Officer of
the base. I was escorted by four heavily armed military policemen. When I arrived,
I was asked to be seated in a very large, make-shift office that had been arranged
with a conference table and chairs. In the office were several dignitaries I had seen
at various times in "the gallery". I recognized a few of them because they were
famous men.
I was introduced to these men, which included:
Army Air Force Secretary Symington, 229 (Footnote) General Nathan Twining,
230 (Footnote) General Jimmy Doolittle , 231 (Footnote) General Vandenberg, 232 (Footnote) and General Norstad. 233 (Footnote)
Much to my surprise Charles Lindbergh 234 (Footnote) was also in the office.
Secretary Symington explained to me that Mr. Lindberg was there as a consultant to
the chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force. There were several other men present in the
room who were not introduced. I assume these men were personal aides to the
officers or agents of some intelligence service.
All of this sudden attention, not only from the Secretary and generals, but from such
world famous people as Mr. Lindbergh, and General Doolittle, made me realize how
critically important my role as an "interpreter" for Airl was, as seen through the eyes
of others. Until this time I was not really aware of this except in an peripheral sense.
I suppose this was because I was so absorbed in details of the extraordinary situation.
Suddenly, I began to grasp the magnitude of my role. I think that the presence of
these men in that meeting was intended, in part, to impress me with this fact!
The Secretary instructed me not to be nervous. He said that I was not in any trouble.
He asked me if I thought the alien would be willing to answer a list of questions they
had prepared. He explained that they were very eager to discover many more details
about Airl, the flying disc, The Domain, and many other subjects that Airl had
disclosed in the interview transcripts. Of course, they were mainly interested in
questions relating to the military security and the construction of the flying disc.
140
I told them that I was very sure that Airl had not changed her mind about answering
questions, as nothing had changed that would cause her to trust the intentions of the
men in the gallery. I repeated that Airl had communicated everything that she was
willing and at liberty to discuss already.
In spite of this, they insisted that I would ask Airl again if she would answer
questions. And, if the answer was still "NO", I was to ask her if she would be
willing to read the written copies of the transcripts of my interview "translations".
They wanted to know if Airl would verify that my understanding and translation of
our interviews was correct.
Since Airl could read English very fluently, the Secretary asked if they could be
allowed to observe for themselves while Airl read the transcripts, and verify that they
were correct in writing. They wanted her to write on a copy of the transcript whether
the "translations" were correct, or not, and make a note of anything that was not
accurate on the transcripts. Of course, I had no choice but to obey orders and I did
exactly what the Secretary requested.
I was given a copy of the transcripts, with a signature page, which I was to show to
Airl. After Airl completed her review, I was also directed to request that Airl sign
the cover-page, attesting that all of the translations in the transcripts were correct, as
amended by her.
About an hour later I entered the interview room, as instructed, with copies of the
transcripts and signature page to deliver to Airl as the members of the gallery,
including the Generals, (and Mr. Lindberg also, I presume) and others watched
through the glass of the gallery room.
I went to my usual seat, sitting 4 or 5 feet across from Airl. I presented the envelope
of transcripts to Airl, and passed on the instructions I had received from the
Secretary, telepathically. Airl looked at me, and looked at the envelope, without
accepting it.
Airl said: "If you have read them and they are accurate in you own estimation, there
is no need for me to review them also. The translations are correct. You can tell
your commander that you have faithfully conveyed a record of our communication."
I assured Airl that I had read them, and they were exact recordings of everything I
told the transcription typist.
"Will you sign the cover page then?", I asked.
"No, I will not.", said Airl.
141
"May I ask why not?", I said. I was a little confused as to why she wasn't willing to
do such a simple thing.
"If your commander does not trust his own staff to make an honest and accurate
report to him, what confidence will my signature on the page give him? Why will he
trust an ink mark on a page made by an officer of The Domain, if he does not trust
his own, loyal staff?"
I didn't quite know what to say to that. I couldn't argue with Airl's logic, and I
couldn't force her to sign the document either. I sat in my chair for a minute
wondering what to do next. I thanked Airl and told her I needed to go ask my
superiors for further instructions. I placed the envelope of the transcripts in the
inside breast pocket of my uniform jacket and began to rise from my chair.
At that moment the door from the gallery room slammed open! Five heavily armed
military police rushed into the room! A man in a white laboratory coat followed
closely behind them. He pushed a small cart that carried a box-shaped machine with
a lot of dials on the face of it.
Before I could react, two of the MPs grabbed Airl and held her firmly down in the
overstuffed chair she had been sitting on since the first day of our interviews
together. The two other MPs grabbed my shoulders and pushed me back down on
my chair and held me there. The other MP stood directly in front of Airl, pointing a
rifle directly at her, not more than six inches from her head.
The man in the lab coat quickly wheeled the cart behind Airl's chair. He deftly
placed a circular head band over Airl's head and turned back to the machine on the
cart. Suddenly, he shouted the word "clear!"
The soldiers who were holding Airl released her. At that instant I saw Airl's body
stiffen and shudder. This lasted for about 15 or 20 seconds. The machine operator
turned a knob on the machine and Airl's body slumped back into the chair. After a
few seconds he turned the knob again and Airl's body stiffened as before. He
repeated the same process several more times.
I sat in my chair, being held down all the while by the MPs. And I didn't understand
what was going on. I was terrified and transfixed by what was happening! I couldn't
believe it!
After a few minutes several other men wearing white lab coats entered the room.
They briefly examined Airl who was now slumped listlessly in the chair. They
mumbled a few words to each other. One of the men waved to the gallery window.
A gurney was immediately rolled into the room by two attendants. These men lifted
Airl's limp body onto the gurney, strapped her down across her chest and arms, and
rolled it out of the room.
142
I was immediately escorted out of the interview room by the MPs and taken directly
to my quarters, where I was locked in my room with the MPs remaining at guard
outside the door.
After about half an hour there was a knock at the door to my quarters. When I
opened it General Twining entered, together with the machine operator in the white
lab coat. The General introduced the man to me as Dr. Wilcox. 235 (Footnote). He
asked me to accompany him and the doctor. We left the room, followed by the MPs.
After several twists and turns through the complex we entered a small room where
Airl had been wheeled on the gurney.
The General told me that Airl and The Domain were considered to be a very great
military threat to the United States. Airl had been "immobilized" so that she could
not depart and return to her base, as she said she would do in the interview. It would
be a very grave risk to national security to allow Airl to report what she observed
during her time at the base. So, it had been determined that decisive action was
needed to prevent this.
The General asked me if I understood why this was necessary. I said that I did,
although I most certainly did not agree that it was the least bit necessary and I
certainly did not agree with the "surprise attack" on Airl and me in the interview
room! However, I said nothing about this to the General because I was very afraid
of what might happen to me and Airl if I protested.
Dr. Wilcox asked me to approach the gurney and stand next to Airl. Airl lay
perfectly still and unmoving on the bed. I could not tell whether she was alive or
dead. Several other men in white lab coats, who I assumed were also doctors, stood
on the opposite side of the bed. They had connected two pieces of monitoring
equipment to Airl's head, arms and chest. One of these devices I recognized from
my training as a surgical nurse as an EEG machine 236 (Footnote) which is used to
detect electrical activity in the brain. The other device was a normal hospital room
vital signs monitor, which I knew would be useless since Airl did not have a
biological body.
Dr. Wilcox explained to me that he had administered a series of "mild" electroshocks
to Airl in an attempt to subdue her long enough to allow the military authorities time
to evaluate the situation and determine what to do with Airl.
He asked me to attempt to communicate with Airl, telepathically.
I tried for several minutes but couldn't sense any communication from Airl. I
couldn't even sense whether Airl was present in the body any longer!
"I think you must have killed her", I said to the doctor.
143
Dr. Wilcox told me that they would keep Airl under observation and that I would be
asked to return later to try to establish communication with Airl again."

Chapter Fifteen
My Interrogation
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"The next morning I was escorted from my quarters, under the guard of four MPs, to
the interview room. Airl's overstuffed chair had been removed from the room and
replaced by a small desk and several office chairs. I was asked to sit down and wait
to be interviewed. After a few minutes Dr. Wilcox came into the office together with
another man wearing a plain business suit. The man introduced himself as John
Reid. 237 (Footnote)
Dr. Wilcox explained to me that Mr. Reid had been flown in from Chicago at the
request of my superior officers to conduct a lie detector 238 (Footnote) test on me!
My surprise at this statement was so obvious, that Dr. Wilcox noticed that I was
obviously taken aback, and insulted, at the insinuation that I had ever lied about
anything!
Nonetheless, Mr. Reid began to set up his polygraph device on the desk next to my
chair, while Dr. Wilcox continued to explain, in a calm voice, that the test was being
administered for my own protection. Since all of the interviews with the alien had
been conducted telepathically, and Airl had declined to read and attest that the typed
transcripts were accurate, that the truth and accuracy of the statements contained in
the transcripts depended entirely on my personal word alone. There was no other
reliable way to test the accuracy of the transcripts without submitting me to a battery
of tests and psychological examinations to determine, in the opinion of "experts",
meaning himself, whether the transcripts should be taken seriously, or not.
The tone of his voice said very clearly, "or dismissed as the delusional ranting of a
mere woman!"
Mr. Reid proceeded to strap a rubber tube around my chest, as well as an ordinary
blood-pressure cuff around my upper arm. He then placed electrodes on the fingers
and surfaces of my hands. He explained that he would be very objective during the
interview because he had been thoroughly trained in scientific interrogation. This
training was supposed to make his interrogation free from human error.
145
Mr. Reid explained to me that, in response to the questions he and Dr. Wilcox were
going to ask me, that actual physiological changes would be transmitted through a
small panel unit. The readings would then be tracked on moving graph paper, which
he placed beside the machine on the desk. The parallel graphs on the paper would
then be correlated and interpreted by Mr. Reid, with the "expert" assistance of Dr.
Wilcox, to determine whether or not I was lying.
Both Mr. Reid and Dr. Wilcox asked me a series of innocuous questions to begin,
which advanced into a more pointed interrogation about my interviews with Airl.
Here is what I remember about the questions:
"What is your name?"
"Matilda O'Donnell", I replied.
"What is your date of birth?"
"June 12th, 1924", I said.
"What is your age?"
"Twenty-three".
"Where were you born?"
"Los Angeles, California", I said.
(And so on, and so forth.)
"Are you able to communicate by telepathy?"
"No. I have never been able to do this with anyone except Airl." I said.
"Were any of the statements you made to the stenographer falsified?
"No", I answered.
"Have you intentionally or unintentionally imagined or fabricated any of the
communication you claimed to have had with the alien?"
"No, of course not", I said.
"Are you intentionally attempting to deceive anyone?"
"No."
146
"Are you attempting to obstruct this test?"
"No."
"What color are your eyes?"
"Blue".
"Are you a Catholic?"
"Yes."
"Would you tell the same stories to your parish priest in a Catholic church
confessional that you told to the stenographer here at the base?"
"Yes."
"Are you trying to hide anything from us?"
"No. Nothing."
"Do you believe everything the alien communicated to you?"
"Yes."
"Do you consider yourself to be a gullible person?"
"No."
The questions continued in this manner for more than an hour. Finally, I was
unhooked from the polygraph machine and allowed to return to my quarters, still
under guard by the MPs.
Later in the afternoon I returned to the interview room. This time the desk was
replaced by a hospital gurney. Dr. Wilcox was accompanied by a staff nurse this
time. He asked me to lie down on the gurney. He said that he had been requested to
ask me the same series of questions that I answered for the lie detector test.
This time, however, I would respond to the questions under the influence of a "truth
serum", 239 (Footnote) known as sodium pentothal. As a trained surgical nurse, I was
familiar with this barbiturate drug as it was sometimes used as an anesthetic.
Dr. Wilcox asked me if I had any objection to submitting to such a test. I told him
that I had nothing to hide. I cannot recall anything about this interview. I assumed
that when I finished answering the questions I was escorted back to my room by the
147
MPs, with their assistance this time, as I was too wobbly and woozy from the drug to
navigate by myself. However, I had a very peaceful sleep that night.
Apparently neither of these interrogations yielded any suspicious results as I was not
asked any more questions after that. Thankfully, I was left alone during the rest of
my time at the base."
148
Chapter Sixteen
Airl Departs
(MATILDA O'DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
"I remained at the base, mostly confined to my quarters, for another 3 weeks
after Airl had been "incapacitated" by Dr. Wilcox. Once a day I was escorted to
the room where Airl lay on the bed under continued surveillance by Dr. Wilcox,
and others, I assume. Each time I went to the room, I was asked to try to
communicate with Airl again. Each time there was no response. This saddened
me a great deal. As the days continued I became increasing more certain and
distressed that Airl was "dead", if that is the right word for it.
Every day, I re-read the transcripts of my interviews with Airl, searching for a
clue that might remind me of something or help me in some way to re-establish
communication with Airl. I still had the envelope in my possession with copies
of the transcripts that Airl was asked to sign. To this day, I don't understand
why no one ever asked me to return them. I suppose they forgot about the copy
of the transcripts in all the excitement. I did not offer to return them. I kept
them concealed under the mattress of my bed all the time I remained at the base,
and have kept them with me ever since then. You will be the first person to see
these transcripts.
Since Airl's body was not biological, the doctors could not detect whether the
body was alive or dead unless it moved. Of course I knew that if Airl was not
consciously animating the body as an IS-BE, the body would not move.
I explained this to Dr. Wilcox. I explained this to him several times. Each time
he just gave me a patronizing sort of smile, patted my arm, and thanked me for
trying again.
At the end of the third week I was told by Dr. Wilcox that my services would no
longer be needed because it had been decided by the military to move Airl to a
larger, more secure military medical facility that was better equipped to deal
with the situation. He didn't say anything about where the facility was located.
That was the last time I saw Airl's doll body.
149
The following day I received written orders, signed by General Twining. The
orders said that I had completed my service to the U.S. military and was
officially discharged from further duty and that I would receive an honorable
discharge and a generous military pension. I would be also be relocated by the
military, and given a new identity with the appropriate documents.
Along with the orders I received a document that I was instructed to read and
sign. It was an oath of secrecy. The language of the document was full of
"legalese", but the point was very clearly made that I was to never, ever discuss
anything whatsoever with anyone whatsoever about anything whatsoever that I
has seen, heard or experienced during my service in the military -- under pain of
death as an Act of Treason against the United States of America!
As it turned out, I was placed into a Federal government witness protection
program 240 (Footnote), except that I would be protected from the government by
the government. In other words, as long as I stayed quiet I could stay alive!
The following morning I was placed aboard a small military transport plane and
flown to a relocation destination. After being shuttled to several locations for
short periods, I eventually I ended up in Glasgow, Montana near Fort Peck.
The night before I was scheduled to board the transport plane, as I lay in bed
contemplating the whole affair and wondering what happened to Airl, and to me,
I suddenly heard Airl's "voice". I sat bolt upright in my bed and turned on the
light on the night stand! I looked around the room frantically for a few seconds.
Then I realized that it was Airl, the IS-BE. Her body was not in the room with
me, of course, and it didn't need to be.
She said "Hello!". The tone of her thought was plain and friendly. It was
unmistakably Airl. I did not have the least doubt about that!
I thought, "Airl? Are you still here?" She answered that she was "here", but
not in a body on Earth. She had returned to her post at The Domain base when
the doctor and MPs attacked us in the interview room. She was pleased to
perceive that I was well, and that I was going to be released unharmed.
I wondered how she escaped from them. I was worried that they might have
injured Airl by the shock machine. Airl said that she was able to leave the body
before the shock was administered and avoided the electric current running
through the body. She wanted to let me know that she was safe and not to worry
about her. I was very relieved, to say the least!
I asked Airl if I would every see her again. Airl reassured me that we are both
IS-BEs. We are not a physical bodies. Now that she had located me in space
and time we would always stay in communication. Airl wished me well and my
communication with her ended for the moment."
150
Post Script from Mrs. MacElroy
EDITOR' NOTE: The following message was enclosed in a separate
envelope marked "READ ME LAST", together with the original letter, the
transcripts and the other notes of explanation I received in the envelope
from Mrs. MacElroy. This is what the message said:
"The other documents in this envelope are the end of
the story, as far as what happened back in 1947.
However, several months after the government got me
settled at my final relocation destination, I
continued my communication with Airl on a regular
basis.
It has been almost exactly 40 years since the crash
at Roswell. Since then it has become obvious to me
that I have been able to communicate telepathically
with Airl for one reason: I am one of the 3,000
members of the Lost Battalion. At this time, all of
the members of the Lost Battalion have been located
on Earth as a result of The Domain Annunaki Mission
and their use of the "Tree of Life" detection device.
Through my communication with Airl, I have recovered
some of my memory of lives I've spent on Earth over
the past 8,000 years. Most of these memories are not
especially important compared to the long backtrack
of events, but it has been a necessary stepping stone
to regaining my awareness and ability as an IS-BE.
I can also remember some dim patches of my life in
The Domain Expeditionary Force. I was a nurse there
too. For the most part I've been a nurse over and
over and over again down through the ages. I stick
with being a nurse because it is familiar to me. And,
I enjoy the work of helping people, as well as
members of the race of biological beings in The
Domain whose bodies look more like insects than
mammals, especially their hands. Even doll bodies
need some repair once in awhile, too.
As I remember more about my past, I realize that the
rest of my life is in the future. Eternity is not
just in the past. Eternity is in the future. At
151
this point I am still not able to fully return to The
Domain. I am sentenced to eternal imprisonment, like
all other IS-BEs in the living Hell called Earth,
until we can disable the "Old Empire" force screens.
Because I won't keep my biological body much longer
now, I am intensely aware that very soon I will be
recycled through the amnesia process of the "Old
Empire", and stuck back into another baby body to
start all over again -- without any memory of what
went before.
As you know, members of The Domain Expeditionary
Force have been working to solve this problem for
thousands of years. Airl says that even though The
Domain has located all of the Lost Battalion officers
and crew, the success of freeing them depends on the
IS-BEs who are already on Earth. The Domain Central
Command cannot authorize any personnel or resources,
at this time, to conduct a "rescue mission" as this
in not the primary mission of The Domain
Expeditionary Force in this galaxy.
So, if IS-BEs on Earth are going to escape from this
prison, it will have to be an "inside job", so to
speak. The inmates will have to figure out how to
get themselves out. Various methods of recovering
the memory and ability of IS-BEs have been developed
over the past 10,000 years on Earth, but none have
proven to be consistently effective so far.
Airl mentioned that the most significant breakthrough
was made by Gautama Siddhartha about 2,500 years ago.
However, the original teachings and techniques taught
by The Buddha have been altered or lost over the
millennia since then. The practical techniques of
his philosophy were perverted into robotic religious
rituals by priests as a self-serving instrument of
control or slavery.
However, another major advance occurred recently. An
acquaintance of The Commanding Officer of The Domain
Expeditionary Force Space Station is an IS-BE who had
once been an important engineer and officer in the
"Old Empire" Space Fleet. He become an "untouchable"
himself about 10,000 years ago and was sentenced to
Earth for leading a mutiny against the oppressive
152
regime of the "Old Empire". The engineer was trained
in Advanced Scientific Improvisation Theory thousands
of years ago. This man has applied his expertise to
helping The Domain solve the apparently unsolvable
problem of rescuing the members of the Lost
Battalion, as well as the IS-BEs on Earth.
Careful observation and experimental analysis of the
mechanics of memory in IS-BEs by he and his wife, who
assisted him, led to the realization that IS-BEs can
recover from amnesia and also regain lost abilities.
Together they discovered and developed effective
methods that they used to rehabilitate their own
memories. They eventually codified their methods so
that others can safely be trained to apply them to
themselves and others, without detection by the "Old
Empire" thought control operators.
Their research also revealed that IS-BEs can occupy
and operate more than one body at the same time --
a fact that previously was thought to be uniquely
limited to officers of The Domain.
One example of this fact is that the engineer, in a
previous lifetime on Earth, was Suleiman The
Magnificent 241 (Footnote). His assistant was a harem girl
who rose up from slavery to become his wife and rule
the Ottoman empire with him. 242 (Footnote) Simultaneously,
she inhabited another body and ruled her own empire
as Queen Elizabeth. 243 (Footnote) As the Queen of England,
she never married, because she was already married to
the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire!
In a later life he was incarnated as Cecil Rhodes.
244 (Footnote). During his life as Rhodes she was, again,
a princess, this time from Poland. 245 (Footnote) As such,
she pursued Rhodes unsuccessfully toward the end of
his life. However, in their next incarnation they met
again, were married, had a family, and again, worked
together successfully all of their lives.
Several other notable examples of this phenomena were
observed. For example, the process of refining steel
was invented by the same IS-BE who inhabited two
bodies simultaneously. One was named Kelly 246 (Footnote)
who lived in Kentucky, and the other was a man named
153
Bessemer 247 (Footnote) who lived in England. They both
conceived the same process at the same time.
Another example is Alexander Graham Bell 248 (Footnote) the
inventor of the telephone, which was invented by
several others at the same time, including Elisha
Gray. 249 (Footnote) The telephone was conceived
concurrently in several locations around the world
all at once. This was a single IS-BE of such
tremendous energy and ability that he was able to
operate several bodies in several different locations
while conducting complex research work!
Thanks to these revelations, The Domain has been able
to return some of IS-BEs of the Lost Battalion to
active duty on a limited, part-time basis. For
example, two young girls who occupy biological bodies
on Earth are now, at the same time, working as active
members of The Domain Expeditionary Force on the
asteroid space station as operators of a
communication switchboard. These operators relay
messages between The Domain Expeditionary Force and
The Domain Command Headquarters.
Recently, I, myself have been able to resume some of
my own duties for The Domain Expeditionary Force
while continuing to live on Earth. This is not an
easy task however, and can only be done while my
biological body is sleeping.
It makes me very, very happy to know that we may not
have to stay on Earth forever! There is hope of
escape, not just for the Lost Battalion, but for many
other IS-BEs on Earth.
However, all IS-BEs could be helped to become more
aware of the actual situation on Earth through the
information in this envelope. This is why I sent
these letters and transcripts to you. I want you to
get these documents published. I want IS-BEs on
Earth to have a chance to find out what is really
happening on Earth.
Most people will not believe any of it, I'm sure. It
seems too incredible. No "reasonable" person would
ever believe a word of it. However, it only seems
"incredible" to an IS-BE whose memory has been erased
154
and replaced with false information inside the
electronically controlled illusion of a prison
planet. We must not allow the apparent incredibility
of our situation to prevent us from confronting the
reality of it.
Frankly, "reasons" have nothing to do with reality.
There are no reasons. Things are what they are. If
we don't face the facts of our situation, we're going
to stay under the thumb of the "Old Empire" forever!
The biggest weapon the "Old Empire" has left now is
our ignorance of what they are doing to all the ISBEs on Earth. Disbelief and secrecy are the most
effective weapons they have!
The government agencies that classified the enclosed
transcripts as "TOP SECRET" are run by IS-BEs who are
nothing more than mindless automatons covertly
ordered about through hypnotic commands given by the
"Old Empire" prison operators. They are the
unknowing slaves of unseen slave masters -- and all
the more enslaved by their willingness to be slaves.
Most of the IS-BEs on Earth are good, honest, able
beings: artists, managers, geniuses, free thinkers
and revolutionaries who have harmed no one, really.
They are no threat to anyone except the criminals who
have imprisoned them.
They must find out about the "Old Empire" amnesia and
hypnosis operation. They must remember their own past
lives. The only way this will ever happen is to
communicate, coordinate and fight back. We have to
tell other people and they have to discuss it openly
with each other. Communication is the only effective
weapon against secrecy and oppression.
This is why I am asking you to tell this story.
Please share these transcripts with as many people as
you can. If the people of Earth are told what is
really going on here, perhaps they will begin to
remember who they are, and where they came from.
For now, we can begin our own release and rescue with
words. We can be free again. We can be ourselves
again. Perhaps I will meet you in person, with or
without a body, somewhere in our Eternal Future.
155
Good Luck To All Of Us,
Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy

"..."War of the Worlds, and The Invasion from Mars"..."
"... the day before Halloween, on Oct. 30, 1938, when millions of Americans tuned in to a
popular radio program that featured plays directed by, and often starring, Orson Welles. The
performance that evening was an adaptation of the science fiction novel The War of the
Worlds, about a Martian invasion of the Earth. But in adapting the book for a radio play,
Welles made an important change: under his direction the play was written and performed
so it would sound like a news broadcast about an invasion from Mars, a technique that,
presumably, was intended to heighten the dramatic effect.
As the play unfolded, dance music was interrupted a number of times by fake news bulletins
reporting that a "huge flaming object" had dropped on a farm near Grovers Mill, New Jersey.
As members of the audience sat on the edge of their collective seat, actors playing news
announcers, officials and other roles one would expect to hear in a news report, described
the landing of an invasion force from Mars and the destruction of the United States. The
broadcast also contained a number of explanations that it was all a radio play, but if
members of the audience missed a brief explanation at the beginning, the next one didn't
arrive until 40 minutes into the program.
At one point in the broadcast, an actor in a studio, playing a newscaster in the field,
described the emergence of one of the aliens from its spacecraft. "Good heavens,
something's wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake," he said, in an appropriately
dramatic tone of voice. "Now it's another one, and another. They look like tentacles to me.
There, I can see the thing's body. It's large as a bear and it glistens like wet leather. But that
face. It...it's indescribable. I can hardly force myself to keep looking at it. The eyes are black
and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips
that seem to quiver and pulsate....The thing is raising up. The crowd falls back. They've seen
enough. This is the most extraordinary experience. I can't find words. I'm pulling this
microphone with me as I talk. I'll have to stop the description until I've taken a new position.
Hold on, will you please, I'll be back in a minute."
As it listened to this simulation of a news broadcast the audience concluded that it was
hearing an actual news account of an invasion from Mars. People packed the roads,
hid in cellars, loaded guns, even wrapped their heads in wet towels as protection from
Martian poison gas, in an attempt to defend themselves against aliens, oblivious to
the fact that they were acting out the role of the panic-stricken public that actually
belonged in a radio play.
News of the panic (which was conveyed via genuine news reports) quickly generated
a national scandal. There were calls, which never went anywhere, for government
regulations of broadcasting to ensure that a similar incident wouldn't happen again.
In a prescient column, in the New York Tribune, Dorothy Thompson foresaw that the
broadcast revealed the way politicians could use the power of mass communications
to create theatrical illusions, to manipulate the public."

"...Majestic-12 documents."
159
"Majestic 12" or "MJ-12". (NOTE: All of the following information and/or assertions
concerning the MJ-12 documents are those of the authors of the following website:
http://www.majesticdocuments.com)
"Operation Majestic-12 was established by special classified presidential order on
September 24, 1947 at the recommendation of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal and
Dr. Vannevar Bush, Chairman of the Joint Research and Development Board. The goal of
the group was to exploit everything they could from recovered alien technology.
Buried in a super-secret "MAJIC EYES ONLY" classification that was above TOP SECRET
— long before the modern top secret codeword special access programs of today — Major
General Leslie R. Groves (who commanded the Manhattan Project to deliver the atomic
bomb) kept just one copy of the details of crashed alien technology in his safe in
Washington, D.C.
Ambitious, elite scientists such as Vannevar Bush, Albert Einstein, and Robert
Oppenheimer, and career military people such as Hoyt Vandenberg, Roscoe Hillenkoetter,
Leslie Groves, and George Marshall, along with a select cast of other experts, feverishly and
secretively labored to understand the alien agenda, technology, and their implications.
Einstein and Oppenheimer were called in to give their opinion, drafting a six-page paper
titled “Relationships With Inhabitants Of Celestial Bodies.” They provided prophetic insight
into our modern nuclear strategies and satellites, and expressed agitated urgency that an
agreement be reached with the President so that scientists could proceed to study the alien
technology.
The extraordinary recovery of fallen airborne objects in the state of New Mexico, between
July 4 July 6, 1947, caused the Chief of Staff of the Army Air Forces Interplanetary
Phenomena Unit, Scientific and Technical Branch, Counterintelligence Directorate to initiate
a thorough investigation. The special unit was formed in 1942 in response to two crashes in
the Los Angeles area in late February 1942. The draft summary report begins “At 2332 MST,
3 July 47, radar stations in east Texas and White Sands Proving Ground, N.M. tracked two
unidentified aircraft until they both dropped off radar. Two crash sites have been located
close to the WSPG. Site LZ-1 was located at a ranch near Corona, Approx. 75 miles
northwest of the town of Roswell. Site LZ-2 was located approx. 20 miles southeast of the
town of Socorro, at latitude 33-40-31 and longitude 106-28-29”.
The first-ever-known UFO crash retrieval case occurred in 1941 in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri. This crash kicked off early reverse-engineering work, but it did not create a unified
intelligence effort to exploit possible technological gains apart from the Manhattan Project
uses.
The debris from the primary field of the 1947 crash 20 miles southeast of Socorro, New
Mexico was called ULAT-1 (Unidentified Lenticular Aerodyne Technology), and it excited
metallurgists with its unheard-of tensile and shear strengths. The fusion nuclear (called
neutronic at that time) engine used heavy water and deuterium with an oddly arranged
series of coils, magnets, and electrodes — descriptions that resemble the “cold fusion”
studies of today.
Harry Truman kept the technical briefing documents of September 24, 1947 for further study,
pondering the challenges of creating and funding a secret organization before the CIA
160
existed (although the Central Intelligence Group or CIG did exist) and before there was a
legal procedure of funding non-war operations.
In April 1954, a group of senior officers of the U.S. intelligence community and the Armed
Forces gathered for one of the most secret and sensational briefings in history. The subject
was Unidentified Flying Objects — not just a discussion of sightings, but how to recover
crashed UFOs, where to ship the parts, and how to deal with the occupants. For example, in
the “Special Operations Manual (SOM1-01) Extraterrestrial Entities Technology Recovery
and Disposal,” MAJESTIC12 “red teams” mapped out UFO crash retrieval scenarios with
special attention given to press blackouts, body packaging, and live alien transport, isolation,
and custody.
Majestic Documents.com is not another rehash of the famous Roswell story — it contains
over 500 pages (and growing) of newly surfaced documents, many of which date years
before the Roswell crash. Unlike other websites, a central theme of validating authenticity is
woven throughout the site while telling the exciting story of the U.S. government's work on
retrieval and analysis of extraterrestrial hardware and alien life forms from 1941 to present."

"Like Ripley said..."
Robert LeRoy Ripley (December 25, 1893 - May 27, 1949) was a cartoonist, entrepreneur,
and amateur anthropologist who created the world famous Ripley's Believe It or Not!
newspaper panel series, featuring odd but true facts from around the world. Subjects
covered in Ripley's cartoons and text ranged from sports feats to little known facts about
unusual and exotic sites, but what ensured the concept's popularity may have been that
Ripley also included items submitted by readers, who supplied photographs of a wide variety
of small town American trivia, ranging from unusually shaped vegetables to oddly marked
domestic animals, all documented by photographs and then engagingly depicted by Ripley's
prolific pen."

"...Voltaire..."
"François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 30 May 1778), better known by the pen
name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and philosopher known
for his wit, philosophical sport, and defense of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and
the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform despite strict
censorship laws and harsh penalties for those who broke them. A satirical polemicist, he
frequently made use of his works to criticize Christian Church dogma and the French
institutions of his day. Many of Voltaire's works and ideas would influence important thinkers
of both the American and French Revolutions."

"...Top Secret"...
"Top Secret is the highest acknowledged level of classified information in many countries,
where it is defined as material that would cause "exceptionally grave damage" to national
security if disclosed. The term top secret can be applied to information, actions,
organizations, projects, etc. of which any knowledge is highly restricted."

"... self-administered euthanasia...."
"The term euthanasia comes from the greek words "eu" and "thanatos" which combined
means “well-death” or "dying well". Hippocrates mentions euthanasia in the Hippocratic
Oath, which was written between 400 and 300 B.C. The ancient Greeks and Romans
generally did not believe that life needed to be preserved at any cost and were, in
consequence, tolerant of suicide in cases where no relief could be offered to the dying or, in
the case of the Stoics and Epicureans, where a person no longer cared for his life."

"...County Meath, Ireland..."
"Meath (the "middle") was formed from the eastern part of the province of Midhe - see Kings
of Mide - but now forms part of Leinster. Historically this province of Meath included all of the
current county as well as all of Westmeath and parts of Cavan, Longford, Louth, Offaly,
Dublin and Kildare. The High King of Ireland sat at Tara in Meath. The archaeological
complex of Brú na Bóinne is 5,000 years old and includes the burial sites of Newgrange,
Knowth and Dowth, in the northeast of the county."

are sacred "cairns" or massive stone structures that were erected about 3,700 BCE
and engraved with indecipherable hieroglyphs..."
"The astronomical significance of Kerbstone 51, the "Stone of the Seven Suns", at Dowth:
If moonlight were to shine on the back stone of the eastern passage at Knowth, it would
illuminate a map of the moon itself, the world's oldest known depiction of the lunar maria*.
The carvings are about 4800 years old. The next oldest depiction of the maria known to
science is that by Leonardo da Vinci in about 1505 AD.
* Lunar maria (singular: mare, two syllables) are large, dark, basaltic plains on Earth's
Moon, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They were dubbed maria, Latin for "seas", by
early astronomers who mistook them for actual seas. They are less reflective than the
"highlands" as a result of their iron-rich compositions, and hence appear dark to the naked
eye. The maria cover about 16% of the lunar surface, mostly on the near-side visible from
Earth. The few maria on the far-side are much smaller, residing mostly in very large craters
where only a small amount of flooding occurred. -- Reference: Wikipedia
The mythology about Dowth speaks of a bull and seven cows, it seems likely that the site
has some connection with the constellation of Taurus, the Bull, which contains the open
162
cluster the Pleiades, otherwise known as "The Seven Sisters". This constellation was very
important around the year 3000BC, when the Boyne Valley mounds were being constructed,
as it contained the Sun on the Spring Equinox, that very important moment of the year when
the Sun's path along the ecliptic crossed the celestial equator heading northwards. It is the
Sun's position among the zodiac stars at this time which determines the current 'age' i.e.
the "Age of Taurus".
Another interesting phenomenon which occurs at this time is what is known to astronomers
as a 'heliacal rising' of the Pleiades. This happens when the stars in question rise at the
eastern horizon but are quickly lost in the glare of the rising sun. It is interesting to note that
the Egyptians, and the Dogon tribe in Africa, (See: The Oz Factors) among others, used the
same Dowth-like 'sun-wheel' symbols to signify a heliacal rising.
If these 'sun-wheel' symbols do represent the heliacal rising of the Pleiades, it tells us
something very significant about the Neolithic people they were aware of the great cycle of
precession, the slow wobble of the Earth's axis which causes the celestial pole to shift over
time, resulting in the Vernal Equinox point, that place where the Sun crosses the celestial
equator, moving backwards, or westwards, through the Zodiac over a huge 25,800-year
period. This Vernal point moves just one degree (about two widths of the full moon) every 72
years, and spends on average 2,150 years in each of the twelve constellations of the
Zodiac."

10 "...In ancient Irish religion and mythology this (Tara) was the sacred place of
dwelling for the "gods"..."
" Sitting on top of the King's Seat (Forradh) of Temair is the most famous of Tara's
monuments - Ireland's ancient coronation stone - the Lia Fail or "Stone of Destiny", which
was brought here according to mythology by the godlike people, the Tuatha Dé Danann, as
one of their sacred objects. It was said to roar when touched by the rightful king of Tara.
A new theory suggests Tara was the ancient capital of the lost kingdom of Atlantis. The
mythical land of Atlantis was Ireland, according to a new book. There are a large number of
monuments and earthen structures on the Hill of Tara. The earliest settlement at the site was
in the Neolithic, and the Mound of the Hostages was constructed in or around 2500BC."

11 "...the Military - Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned us about in
his farewell address..."
"A military-industrial complex (MIC) is composed of a nation's armed forces, its suppliers
of weapons systems, supplies and services, and its civil government.
The term "MIC" is most often used in reference to the United States, where it gained
popularity after its use in the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In the
penultimate draft of the address, Eisenhower initially used the term military-industrialcongressional complex, and thus indicated the essential role that the United States
Congress plays in the propagation of the military industry. But, it is said, that the president
163
chose to strike the word congressional in order to placate members of the legislative branch
of the federal government.
It is sometimes used more broadly to include the entire network of contracts and flows of
money and resources among individuals as well as institutions of the defense contractors,
The Pentagon, and the Congress and Executive branch. This sector is intrinsically prone to
Principal-agent problem, moral hazard, and rent seeking. Cases of political corruption have
also surfaced with regularity.
President of the United States (and former General of the Army) Dwight D. Eisenhower
later used the term in his Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961:
"A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be
mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his
own destruction...
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in
the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in
every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the
imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave
implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our
society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for
the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic
processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry
can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with
our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together."

"In May 1946, the Army Air Forces (AAF) gave SAC the responsibility of delivering the
atomic bomb. Only one of the commands bombardment units, the 509th at Walker Air Force
Base (then Roswell Field) in New Mexico, was trained and ready for the atomic bomb
mission. The 509th Wing, training on the B-29 aircraft, dropped the first atomic bomb on
Japan."

"CRASHED FLYING DISC" INCIDENT THAT MRS. MACELROY DESCRIBES IN HER
LETTER:

Incident Can Be Viewed At The Following Website:

(Copyright ©2001 by David Rudiak. E-Mail: drudiak@lmi.net )
______________________________________________________________________
"When we look at the contents of the message in conjunction with witness testimony, the
evidence clearly points to an actual flying saucer crash, as astonishing as this conclusion
may seem to many.
This testimony is gone into in much greater detail elsewhere in this Website. It consists
primarily of numerous and consistent descriptions of highly anomalous debris and to a
lesser extent of alien bodies. Here are a few key witnesses:
Major Jesse Marcel: Then the intelligence chief at Roswell and the first to investigate
sheep rancher Mack Brazel's find, Marcel confirmed in a number of interviews 30 years later
that the crash debris had highly anomalous properties and was "not of this Earth." Marcel
also spoke of Ramey's weather balloon cover-up at Fort Worth. Note particularly highly
laudatory post-Roswell evaluations by base commander Col. William Blanchard, Gen.
Ramey, and future USAF Chief of Staff Col. John Ryan.
Lt. Walter Haut: Former Roswell base public information officer who issued the base press
release. Haut's "deathbed" sealed affidavit has just been published. In it he confesses to
seeing the spacecraft and bodies in base Hangar 84/P-3 and tells us the mysterious press
release was General Ramey's idea to divert press and public attention away from the closer
and more important craft/body site.
Sgt Frederick Benthal: Army photographer flown in from Washington D.C., said he
photographed alien bodies in a tent at crash site and saw large quantities of crash debris
being hauled away in trucks.
PFC Elias Benjamin: Roswell MP, said he escorted the alien bodies from the heavily
guarded base Hangar P-3 to the base hospital, and saw a live one being worked on by
doctors; was threatened afterwards if he didn't keep quiet.
1st Lt. Chester P. Barton: A crypto specialist and assigned to an MP unit, Barton said he
was ordered to the crash site 45 minutes north of town to check on the cleanup, saw a
football-field-size burn impact area heavily guarded by MPs, scattered metal debris, was told
radiation was at the site, heard archeologists had first discovered it, and also heard bodies
were taken to base hospital and then to Fort Worth. Because of what he saw, he knew that
the balloon explanation was ridiculous and there had been a cover-up. However, Barton
was unusual in being a flying saucer crash skeptic, instead thinking that it was maybe a B-29
crash and nuclear accident.
Bill Brazel Jr.: Rancher Mack Brazel's son, Bill Brazel independently corroborated many
details of Marcel's testimony, including the strange debris, the large, elongated debris field,
and his father's story of an explosion in the middle of a violent electrical storm.
Louis Rickett: One of the regular Army CIC agents in Marcel's office, Rickett confirmed the
anomalous quality of the debris, a major cleanup operation at Brazel's ranch, high secrecy,
and being involved in a subsequent investigation to determine the trajectory of the craft. He
165
was also told by others about the shape of the main craft. Like Chester Barton, he placed
the main impact site a 45 minute drive north of Roswell.
Brig. Gen. Arthur Exon: Though not a direct participant, Exon was stationed at Wright
Field at the time, over flew the area soon afterwards, and was later commanding officer of
Wright-Patterson AFB. Exon when first interviewed flatly stated, "Roswell was the recovery
of a craft from space." Among other things, he confirmed the existence of two main crash
sites. Exon also said he heard that bodies were recovered and confirmed the debris was
highly anomalous based on testing done by labs at Wright-Patterson. Exon added that he
was aware of other crash-recoveries that occurred while he was C/O at Wright-Patterson.
Steven Lovekin (served in the White House Army Signal Corp during Eisenhower and
Kennedy administrations, 1959-1961) Although like Exon not a direct participant, Lovekin
said he received 1959 Pentagon briefings and being shown a metallic beam with symbols
from a 1947 N.M. crash (presumably Roswell) plus being told of either 3 or 5 aliens being
recovered, one initially alive. He also said he was shown very compelling photographic
and radar evidence of UFOs. He also testified of the threats against military personnel given
this information if they were to publicly reveal it. Finally, he told of Eisenhower's concern
over losing control of the situation with power falling into the hands of private corporations
given access to the materials.
Brig. Gen. Thomas Dubose: Gen. Ramey's Chief of Staff in 1947, Dubose handled the
high-level phone communications between Roswell, Fort Worth, and Washington. Dubose
went on record many times about the high secrecy involved (including the matter going
directly to the White House), receiving direct orders from Washington to instigate a cover-up,
Gen. Ramey's weather balloon cover story, and a highly secret shipment of debris from
Roswell to Fort Worth, Washington, and Wright Field. Dubose's damning testimony made
him a complete nonentity in the Air Force's 1995 Roswell report, which didn't even bother to
identify him in the photos taken of Gen. Ramey with his weather balloon. (Visit the website
to view Dubose's Air Force biography, his sworn affidavit, and a more detailed discussion of
his testimony which the Air Force was so eager to avoid.)
Sgt. Robert Slusher and PFC Lloyd Thompson: Crew members on a mysterious B-29
flight from Roswell to Fort Worth on July 9, 1947, transporting a large wooden crate in the
bomb bay surrounded by an armed guard. Upon arrival, the plane was met by high brass
and a mortician. This is probably the flight referred to in the Ramey memo that would ship
whatever was "in the 'disc'" to Fort Worth by a B-29 Special Transport plane. New witnesses
to the flight, including daughter of the head security guard, saying that alien bodies were
inside the crate.
Frank Kaufmann: A highly controversial witness claiming to be one of the exclusive
members of a special CIC-team (Army Counter-Intelligence Corp) in charge of the Roswell
recovery operation. Nonetheless, some of Kaufmann's claims seem to be corroborated by
the Ramey message, including the existence of such a team, the recovery of an intact "disk"
with bodies inside about 35 miles north of Roswell base, and the special team being
responsible for the initial Roswell base press release. Kaufmann also testified to knowing of
a wooden crate guarded in a hangar with the bodies packed inside awaiting shipment,
perhaps the same crate independently described by Slusher and Thompson.
Glenn Dennis: A Roswell mortician and another highly controversial witness, Dennis spoke
of receiving strange calls from the base about preservation techniques and child-sized
coffins. Dennis also claimed to be at the Roswell base hospital, seeing unusual debris in the
back of an ambulance including a pod-like object perhaps alluded to in the Ramey message,
166
and being threatened. He also claimed to know a Roswell nurse who assisted in a
preliminary autopsy at the base hospital and who described the aliens to him.
The nurse subsequently disappeared. However, attempts to identify the mystery nurse have
proven to be a complete failure after Dennis provided a false name. However, also see
some corroborative evidence immediately following Dennis' affidavit, such as David
Wagnon, a medical technician, who remembered the nurse fitting Dennis' description, as did
Pete Anaya, who said the pretty nurse he knew and encountered at the base hangar telling
him of the bodies there subsequently disappeared.
Roswell police chief L. M. Hall stated that Dennis was telling him of calls from the base about
small coffins for the aliens only a few days after the crashed saucer story broke in the
Roswell papers. Similarly, S/Sgt. Milton Sprouse also said he heard of the coffin call from
Dennis and a medic friend told him of the alien bodies and autopsy at the hospital.
The medic and doctors and nurses involved in the autopsy all immediately were
transferred and their fate remained unknown. In addition, other independent witnesses
have provided first and second-hand testimony about small bodies being found with details
very similar to those provided by Dennis, including Walter Haut, Frederick Benthal, Eli
Benjamin, and relatives of "Pappy" Henderson.
Family and friends of Oliver "Pappy" Henderson: Henderson was one of the senior pilots
at Roswell. When the first public stories of a Roswell saucer crash began circulating in
1981, Henderson confided to family and friends of being the pilot who flew bodies of the
aliens and crash wreckage to Wright Field. He also claimed to have seen the craft and
bodies, and provided a description of the aliens.
Sgt. Robert E. Smith: A member of an air transport unit at Roswell, Smith said he helped
load crates filled with debris for transport by C-54's, including one flown by Henderson and
his crew. Smith was also among the witnesses to describe the mysterious "memory foil"
which he said was in the crates. He further described strangers to the base dressed in
plainclothes and flashing ID cards for some unknown project, perhaps part of the special
CIC-team mentioned in the Ramey memo and by Frank Kaufmann. Finally he claimed that
distant cousin of his was with the Secret Service and was there at the base representing
President Truman. (The same name was also provided by Kaufmann.)
S/Sgt. Earl V. Fulford: In the engineering squadron, Fulford said he participated in the large
debris field cleanup guarded by MPs, handled the mysterious "memory foil," saw what may
have been the tarped crash object on a flatbed truck being towed to Hangar 84, and in the
middle of the night was made to load a large wooden crate into an idling C-54.
Earl Zimmerman: Formerly with AFOSI (AF counterintelligence). While in officers' club
heard many rumors about flying saucer crash and of it being investigated under the guise of
an airplane crash. Several times observed Gen. Ramey and Charles Lindbergh being at
base unannounced in connection with this. Like Robert Smith, spoke of seeing an unknown
CIC man being at base. Col. Blanchard told him it was OK. Later worked with astronomer
Dr. Lincoln LaPaz and corroborated story of Roswell CIC man Lewis Rickett that LaPaz
investigated Roswell afterwards with the help of the CIC to try to determine objects
trajectory. Again an airplane crash was the cover story.
Lt. Robert Shirkey: Then the assistant operations officer, Shirkey witnessed the loading of
the
167
B-29 that took Major Marcel to Fort Worth to see Gen. Ramey. He said he saw boxes of
debris being carried on board, including an I-beam with raised markings and a large piece of
metal, brushed stainless steel in color, obviously not part of a tinfoil radar target. He was
told it was from a flying saucer. Along with witness Robert Porter, he also stated that the
plane's pilot was Deputy Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Payne Jennings, who was now the
Acting C/O with Col. Blanchard officially on leave. Nine days later, Shirkey was abruptly
transferred to the Philippines to a post that didn't exist. Jennings personally flew him to his
next assignment.
Sgt. Robert Porter: Was on Marcel's flight to Fort Worth and was handed wrapped
packages of debris samples. Said that flight was piloted by Deputy base commander
Jennings. He was told on board that the crash material was from a flying saucer. Later, they
told him it was a weather balloon. Said debris was loaded onto another plane.
Art McQuiddy: Former editor of the Roswell Morning Dispatch. Said base commander Col.
Blanchard admitted to authorizing base press release and of strange material being found by
his men.
Judd Roberts: Co-owner of Roswell radio station KGFL owner. Spoke of how they wirerecorded an interview with rancher Mack Brazel for later airing, then withdrew it about
receiving warnings from Washington about losing their license. Testified to seeing a military
cordon around Brazel crash site.
William Woody: Another witness to a military cordon thrown up up north of town along the
main highway, blocking access to the west.
Lydia Sleppy: Albuquerque teletype operator and one of earliest witnesses. Stated that the
story phoned in from field by Roswell radio reporter Johnny McBoyle about seeing the
crashed saucer and hearing of bodies was intercepted and cut-off on the teletype wire by the
FBI.
Loretta Proctor: Neighbor of rancher Mack Brazel. Brazel told her and her husband of
finding strange material before going to Roswell, and showing them a wood-like piece that
couldn't be cut or burned. They advised him to go to Roswell and report it. Brazel was
detained at the base and complained bitterly of his treatment when he returned.
Sally Strickland Tadolini: Another neighbor of Brazel's. Although only 9 years old at the
time, remembered Mack Brazel's grown son Bill Brazel bringing over a piece of metalliclooking debris with memory properties to show to her family (incident corroborated by her
mother). Described it as tough, resembled a smooth "fabric" like silk or satin, and, of course,
unfolded itself to its original shape after being crumpled up. Independently corroborated Bill
Brazel's story of finding material and also Marcel's of a metallic fabric material with memory
properties which he could blow through (therefore not balloon material). Also remembered
the adults talking about Mack Brazel's bad treatment at hands of military.
Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr.: 11-year old son of Major Marcel in 1947, recounts how his father
woke up his mother and himself in the middle of the night when he returned from the debris
field, showing them the pieces of a "flying saucer." Among other material, he distinctly
remembers a small metallic "I-beam" with purplish "hieroglyphics."

14 "... the Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force..."

"General Roger M. Ramey was a major player in the Roswell Incident, but information on
him is hard to come by. Even though he became a fairly important Air Force general in the
early 1950s, for some reason the Air Force biographical Web page on their generals doesn't
list him.
Ramey was born in 1903 in Sulphur Springs, Texas, but grew up in Denton, Texas, about 40
miles north of Fort Worth. He graduated from North Texas State Teachers College in
Denton and wanted to study medicine. But he won a rodeo competition and "preferred
working on a ranch to books."
He was the mess sergeant in a local National Guard unit, and the captain insisted young
"Cowboy" Ramey take the competitive examination for entrance to the U.S. Military
Academy, winning the West Point appointment. He entered West Point in 1924.
July 26,1946: Ramey wrote Roswell intelligence chief Major Jesse Marcel a commendation
for his work during Crossroads, citing his important contributions to security, his handling of
complex intelligence matters, and the perfection of his staff briefings. A year later, Marcel
was to handle the initial investigation into the strange crash debris found by rancher Mac
Brazel near Roswell and fly the debris to Fort Worth for examination by Gen. Ramey.
June 30, 1947: Ramey and his intelligence chief were giving press interviews and
debunking the new flying saucer phenomenon.
July 6, 1947: Ramey spent all day attending an air show in his home town of Denton, TX
(and probably visiting relatives). Meanwhile, back in Fort Worth with Ramey away from the
base, his chief of staff, Brig. Gen. Thomas Dubose, said he first learned of the find at
Roswell by phone from SAC acting chief of staff Gen. McMullen. According to Dubose,
McMullen ordered debris samples flown immediately to Washington by "colonel courier," first
stopping in Fort Worth. The whole operation was carried out under the strictest secrecy, said
Dubose. McMullen ordered him not to tell anyone, not even Ramey.
July 8, 1947: The infamous Roswell base flying disk press release and Ramey's subsequent
debunking of it as a weather balloon. According to Dubose, McMullen ordered the cover-up
in another phone call to Dubose from Washington. Both Dubose and Roswell intelligence
chief Jesse Marcel said the weather balloon was not what Marcel brought from Roswell,
being nothing but a cover story to get rid of the press.

15 "... U.S. Women's Army Air Force..."
"The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was the women's branch of the US Army. It was created
as an auxiliary unit, the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1942, and converted to full status
as the WAC in 1943. About 150,000 American women served in the WAAC and WAC
during World War II. They were the first women other than nurses to serve with the Army."

"The Flight Nurse Badge is issued in two different versions, one for the Navy and the other
for the Air Force. To be awarded the Flight Nurse Badge, a service member must be a
commissioned officer and a Registered Nurse and must also complete training normally
befitting the award of the Aircrew Badge. The Flight Nurse Badge is then presented after a
probationary period of in-flight instruction and observation."

17 ..."Sheridan Cavitt of the Counter Intelligence Officer"...
(Please see the following Footnote)
18 "... I was asked to accompany Mr. Cavitt, the Counter Intelligence officer, to the
crash site as the driver of his vehicle ...
"Most of the testimony in this (the following) document is from the 1992 book “Crash at
Corona” by Stanton Friedman and Don Berliner, published in the United States by Paragon
House. That book contains lots of other interesting material, including material regarding
another crash site in New Mexico.
Sequence of Events:
On July 2, 1947, during the evening, a flying saucer crashed on the Foster Ranch near
Corona, New Mexico. The crash occurred during a severe thunderstorm. (The military base
nearest the crash site is in Roswell, New Mexico; hence, Roswell is more closely associated
with this event than Corona, even though Corona is closer to the crash site.)
On July 3, 1947, William “Mac” Brazel (rhymes with “frazzle”) and his 7-year-old neighbor
Dee Proctor found the remains of the crashed flying saucer. Brazel was foreman of
the Foster Ranch. The pieces were spread out over a large area, perhaps more than half a
mile long. When Brazel drove Dee back home, he showed a piece of the wreckage to Dees
parents, Floyd and Loretta Proctor. They all agreed the piece was unlike anything they had
ever seen.
On July 6, 1947, Brazel showed pieces of the wreckage to Chaves County Sheriff George
Wilcox. Wilcox called Roswell Army Air Field (AAF) and talked to Major Jesse Marcel, the
intelligence officer. Marcel drove to the sheriffs office and inspected the wreckage. Marcel
reported to his commanding officer, Colonel William “Butch” Blanchard. Blanchard ordered
Marcel to get someone from the Counter Intelligence Corps, and to proceed to the ranch
with Brazel, and to collect as much of the wreckage as they could load into their two
vehicles.
Soon after this, military police arrived at the sheriffs office, collected the wreckage Brazel
had left there, and delivered the wreckage to Blanchards office. The wreckage was then
flown to Eighth Air Force headquarters in Fort Worth, and from there to Washington.
Meanwhile, Marcel and Sheridan Cavitt of the Counter Intelligence Corps drove to the ranch
with Mac Brazel. They arrived late in the evening. They spent the night in sleeping bags in a
small out-building on the ranch, and in the morning proceeded to the crash site.
On July 7, 1947, Marcel and Cavitt collected wreckage from the crash site. After filling
Cavitts vehicle with wreckage, Marcel told Cavitt to go on ahead, that Marcel would collect
more wreckage, and they would meet later back at Roswell AAF. Marcel filled his vehicle
170
with wreckage. On the way back to the air field, Marcel stopped at home to show his wife
and son the strange material he had found.
On July 7, 1947, around 4:00 pm, Lydia Sleppy at Roswell radio station KSWS began
transmitting a story on the teletype machine regarding a crashed flying saucer out on
the Foster Ranch. Transmission was interrupted, seemingly by the FBI.
On July 8, 1947, in the morning, Marcel and Cavitt arrived back at Roswell AAF with two
carloads of wreckage. Marcel accompanied this wreckage, or most it, on a flight to Fort
Worth AAF.
On July 8, 1947, around noon, Colonel Blanchard at Roswell AAF ordered Second
Lieutenant Walter Haut to issue a press release telling the country that the Army had found
the remains of a crashed a flying saucer. Haut was the public information officer for the
509th Bomb Group at Roswell AAF. Haut delivered the press release to Frank Joyce at radio
station KGFL. Joyce waited long enough for Haut to return to the base, then called Haut
there to confirm the story. Joyce then sent the story on the Western Union wire to the
United Press bureau.
On July 8, 1947, in the afternoon, General Clemence McMullen in Washington spoke by
telephone with Colonel (later Brigadier General) Thomas DuBose in Fort Worth, chief of
staff to Eighth Air Force Commander General Roger Ramey. McMullen ordered DuBose to
tell Ramey to quash the flying saucer story by creating a cover story, and to send some of
the crash material immediately to Washington.
On July 8, 1947, in the afternoon, General Roger Ramey held a press conference at Eighth
Air Force headquarters in Fort Worth in which he announced that what had crashed at
Corona was a weather balloon, not a flying saucer. To make this story convincing, he
showed the press the remains of a damaged weather balloon that he claimed was the actual
wreckage from the crash site. (Apparently, the obliging press did not ask why the Army
hurriedly transported weather balloon wreckage to Fort Worth, Texas, site of the press
conference, from the crash site in a remote area of New Mexico.)
The only newspapers that carried the initial flying saucer version of the story were evening
papers from the Midwest to the West, including the Chicago Daily News, the Los Angeles
Herald Express, the San Francisco Examiner, and the Roswell Daily Record. The New York
Times, the Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune were morning papers and so carried
only the cover-up story the next morning.
At some point, a large group of soldiers were sent to the debris field on the Foster Ranch,
including a lot of MPs whose job was to limit access to the field. A wide search
was launched well beyond the limits of the debris field. Within a day or two, a few miles from
the debris field, the main body of the flying saucer was found, and a mile or two from that
several bodies of small humanoids were found.
The military took Mac Brazel into custody for about a week, during which time he was seen
on the streets of Roswell with a military escort. His behavior aroused the curiosity of
friends when he passed them without any sign of recognition. Following this period of
detention, Brazel repudiated his initial story."

19 "...I discovered that one of the personnel on board the craft had survived the
crash... "
The following is a verbatim copy of the signed Affidavit submitted on 8-7-1991 by
Glenn Dennis, a mortician, in Roswell, N.M. at the time of the incident described in the
letter from Mrs. MacElroy: (PLEASE NOTE: Mrs. MacElroy is NOT the same nurse that
Mr. Dennis mentions in his Affidavit. Although no official identification has been made,
several witnesses have identified "Nurse X" as 1st Lt. Adeline "Eileen" Fanton.)
"AFFIDAVIT OF GLENN DENNIS
(1) My name is Glenn Dennis
(2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX
(3) I am ( ) employed as: __________________________________ ( ) retired,
(4) In July 1947, I was a mortician, working for the Ballard Funeral Home in Roswell, which
had a contract to provide mortuary services for the Roswell Army Air Field. One afternoon,
around 1:15 or 1:30, I received a call from the base mortuary officer who asked what was the
smallest size hermetically sealed casket that we had in stock. He said, "We need to know
this in case something comes up in the future." He asked how long it would take to get one,
and I assured him I could get one for him the following day. He said he would call back if
they needed one.
(5) About 45 minutes to an hour later, he called back and asked me to describe the
preparation for bodies that had been lying out on the desert for a period of time. Before I
could answer, he said he specifically wanted to know what effect the preparation procedures
would have on the body's chemical compounds, blood and tissues. I explained that our
chemicals were mainly strong solutions of formaldehyde and water, and that the procedure
would probably alter the body's chemical composition. I offered to come out to the base to
assist with any problem he might have, but he reiterated that the information was for future
use. I suggested that if he had such a situation that I would try to freeze the body in dry ice
for storage and transportation.
(6) Approximately a hour or an hour and 15 minutes later, I got a call to transport a
serviceman who had a laceration on his head and perhaps a fractured nose. I gave him first
aid and drove him out to the base. I got there around 5:00 PM.
(7) Although I was a civilian, I usually had free access on the base because they knew me.
I drove the ambulance around to the back of the base infirmary and parked it next to another
ambulance. The door was open and inside I saw some wreckage. There were several
pieces which looked like the bottom of a canoe, about three feet in length. It resembled
stainless steel with a purple hue, as if it had been exposed to high temperature. There was
some strange-looking writing on the material resembling Egyptian hieroglyphics. Also there
were two MPs present.
(8) I checked the airman in and went to the staff lounge to have a Coke. I intended to look
for a nurse, a 2nd Lieutenant, who had been commissioned about three months earlier right
out of college. She was 23 years of age at the time (I was 22). I saw her coming out of one
of the examining rooms with a cloth over her mouth. She said, "My gosh, get out of here or
you're going to be in a lot of trouble." She went into another door where a Captain stood.
172
He asked me who I was and what I was doing here. I told him, and he instructed me to stay
there. I said, "It looks like you've got a crash; would you like me to get ready?" He told me
to stay right there. Then two MPs came up and began to escort me out of the infirmary.
They said they had orders to follow me out to the funeral home.
(9) We got about 10 or 15 feet when I heard a voice say, "We're not through with that SOB.
Bring him back." There was another Captain, a redhead with the meanest-looking eyes I
had ever seen, who said, "You did not see anything, there was no crash here, and if you say
anything you could get into a lot of trouble." I said, "Hey look mister, I'm a civilian and you
can't do a damn thing to me." He said, "Yes we can; somebody will be picking your bones
out of the sand." There was a black Sergeant with a pad in his hand who said, "He would
make good dog food for our dogs." The Captain said, "Get the SOB out." The MPs followed
me back to the funeral home.
(10) The next day, I tried to call the nurse to see what was going on. About 11:00 AM, she
called the funeral home and said, "I need to talk to you." We agreed to meet at the officers
club. She was very upset. She said, "Before I talk to you, you have to give me a sacred
oath that you will never mention my name, because I could get into a lot of trouble." I
agreed.
(11) She said she had gone to get supplies in a room where two doctors were performing a
prelimary autopsy. The doctors said they needed her to take notes during the procedure.
She said she had never smelled anything so horrible in her life, and the sight was the most
gruesome she had ever seen. She said, "This was something no one has ever seen." As
she spoke, I was concerned that she might go into shock.
(12) She drew me a diagram of the bodies, including an arm with a hand that had only four
fingers; the doctors noted that on the end of the fingers were little pads resembling suction
cups. She said the head was disproportionately large for the body; the eyes were deeply
set; the skulls were flexible; the nose was concave with only two orifices; the mouth was a
fine slit, and the doctors said there was heavy cartilage instead of teeth. The ears were only
small orifices with flaps. They had no hair, and the skin was black--perhaps due to exposure
in the sun. She gave me the drawings.
(13) There were three bodies; two were very mangled and dismembered, as if destroyed by
predators; one was fairly intact. They were three-and-a-half to four feet tall. She told me the
doctors said: "This isn't anything we've ever see before; there's nothing in the medical
textbooks like this." She said she and the doctors became ill. They had to turn off the air
conditioning and were afraid the smell would go through the hospital. They had to move the
operation to an airplane hangar.
(14) I drove her back to the officers' barracks. The next day I called the hospital to see how
she was, and they said she wasn't available. I tried to get her for several days, and finally
got one of the nurses who said the Lieutenant had been transferred out with some other
personnel. About 10 days to two weeks later, I got a letter from her with an APO number.
She indicated we could discuss the incident by letter in the future. I wrote back to her and
about two weeks later the letter came back marked "Return to Sender--DECEASED." Later,
one of the nurses at the base said the rumor was that she and five other nurses had been on
a training mission and had been killed in a plane crash.
(15) Sheriff George Wilcox and my father were very close friends. The Sheriff went to my
folks' house the morning after the events at the base and said to my father, "I don't know
what kind of trouble Glenn's in, but you tell your son that he doesn't know anything and
173
hasn't seen anything at the base." He added, "They want you and your wife's name, and
they want your and your children's addresses." My father immediately drove to the funeral
home and asked me what kind of trouble I was in. He related the conversation with Sheriff
Wilcox, and so I told him about the events of the previous day. He is the only person to
whom I have told this story until recently.
(16) I had filed away the sketches the nurse gave me that day. Recently, at the request of a
researcher, I tried to locate my personal files at the funeral home, but they had all been
destroyed.
(17) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make this statement, which is the
truth to the best of my recollection.

20 "...telepathic thought..."
"Telepathy, from the Greek τελε, tele meaning "remote" and πάθεια, patheia meaning "to be
affected by", describes the purported transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between
individuals by means other than the five classical senses. The term was coined in 1882 by
the classical scholar Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research,
specifically to replace the earlier expression thought-transference. A person who is able to
make use of telepathy is said to be able to read the minds of others. Telepathy, along with
psychokinesis forms the main branches of parapsychological research, and many studies
seeking to detect and understand telepathy have been done within the field.
Telepathy is a common theme in fiction and science fiction, with many superheroes and
supervillains having telepathic abilities. Such abilities include both sensing the thoughts of
others, and controlling the minds of other people. Transhumanists believe that
technologically enabled telepathy, called "techlepathy", will be the inevitable future of
humanity, and seek to develop practical, safe devices for directly connecting human nervous
systems."

21 "...I was the only women at the site..."
"Another story about the alien bodies and a vanishing nurse came from Pete and Ruben
Anaya, who said they picked up N.M. Lt. Governor Joseph Montoya outside the large base
hangar. Besides the hangar being heavily guarded by MPs, they said there was a base
nurse (or maybe two different nurses) who came outside the hangar and spoke briefly with
them. Ruben said she told him that the bodies were "not from this world" and then noticed
one of them moving. Ruben said he then went to take a look and also glimpsed two small
bodies from a distance under sheets inside the hangar and one of them moving. He
described the nurse he spoke to as blondish and heavyset. [Note: Of the five nurses that are
pictured in the base yearbook from around June/July 1947, none of them appear blondish or
heavyset, though.
174
In contrast, Pete Anaya said he knew the nurse he spoke to from the Officer's Club (his
brother Ruben worked there as a cook), had danced with her once the previous Halloween
at a party, said she resembled his wife Mary, and was a beautiful women with beautiful hair.
He wanted to go inside the hangar to see what was going on, and she told him he didn't
want to see anything. After that, he said he never saw her again. (Source: Tim Shawcross,
The Roswell File, 1997)
Former Roswell police chief L.M. Hall remembered Dennis telling him only a few days after
the newspaper stories of the crashed flying saucer, about strange calls from the base for
child-size caskets "to ship or bury those aliens."
Another witness that recently came forth to corroborate parts of Dennis' story was S/Sgt.
Milton Sprouse, then a B-29 crew chief with the 830th Bomb Squadron. Sprouse said he
spoke to Dennis several years later while Dennis handled a funeral for a friend. Dennis told
him he had received a call from the base for five children's caskets for a crash that had
happened 2 or 3 days before. Thus it seems that Dennis' story of the child casket call is not
of recent origin but dates back to the original event itself.
Sprouse said the bodies were taken to a hangar heavily guarded by MPs with machine
guns. He also said he knew something about the autopsy initially described by Dennis. A
fellow staff sergeant in his barracks, who worked as an emergency room medic at the base
hospital, was called out there. When he came back he related that an autopsy on one or two
of the "humanoid bodies" had been carried out by two doctors and two nurses. His friend
said he had seen the bodies. Similar to Dennis' nurse, the sergeant was transferred the
following day and nobody ever found out what became of him.
Sprouse also heard that the doctors and nurses involved with the autopsy were also
transferred and nobody found out what became of them either. Five members of his ground
crew were also sent to the ranch to help clean up the debris field. They told him the material
was "out of this world," including foil that when crumpled returned to its original shape."

22 "...prehensile..."
"The word is derived from the Latin term prehendere, meaning "to grasp." It is the quality of
an organ that has adapted for grasping or holding. Examples of prehensile body parts
include the tails of New World monkeys and opossums, the trunks of elephants, the tongues
of giraffes, the lips of horses and the proboscides of tapir. The hands of primates are all
prehensile to varying degrees, and many species (even a few humans) have prehensile feet
as well. The claws of cats are also prehensile. Many extant lizards have prehensile tails
(geckos, chameleons, and a species of skink). The fossil record shows prehensile tails in
lizards (Simiosauria) going back many million years to the Triassic period .
Prehensility is an evolutionary adaptation that has afforded species a great natural
advantage in manipulating their environment for feeding, digging, and defense. It enables
many animals, such as primates, to use tools in order to complete tasks that would
otherwise be impossible without highly specialized anatomy. For example, chimpanzees
have the ability to use sticks to fish for termites and grubs. However, not all prehensile
organs are applied to tool use- the giraffe tongue, for instance, is instead used in feeding
and self-cleaning behaviors."

23 "... able to detect waves or particles beyond the visual spectrum of light."
The visible spectrum (or sometimes called the optical spectrum) is the portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye.
Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths in air from about 380 to 750 nm. The
corresponding wavelengths in water and other media are reduced by a factor equal to the
refractive index. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400-790
terahertz. A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at around 555 nm (540
THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum. The spectrum does not, however, contain
all the corlors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish. Brown, pink, and magenta are
absent, for example, because they need a mix of multiple wavelengths, preferably shades of
red.
Wavelengths visible to the eye also pass through the "optical window", the region of the
electromagnetic spectrum which passes largely unattenuated through the Earth's
atmosphere (although blue light is scattered more than red light, which is the reason the sky
is blue). The response of the human eye is defined by subjective testing, but the
atmospheric windows are defined by physical measurement. The "visible window" is so
called because it overlaps the human visible response spectrum; the near infrared windows
lie just out of human response window, and the Medium Wavelength and Long Wavelength
or Far Infrared are far beyond the human response region.
The eyes of many species perceive wavelengths different from the spectrum visible to the
human eye. For example, many insects, such as bees, can see light in the ultraviolet, which
is useful for finding nectar in flowers. For this reason, plant species whose life cycles are
linked to insect pollination may owe their reproductive success to their appearance in
ultraviolet light, rather than how colorful they appear to our eyes."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org
24 "... this may have included the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum..."
"The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic radiation. The
"electromagnetic spectrum" (usually just spectrum) of an object is the characteristic
distribution of electromagnetic radiation from that object.
The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the frequencies used for modern radio (at
the long-wavelength end) through gamma radiation (at the short-wavelength end), covering
wavelengths from thousands of kilometres down to a fraction the size of an atom. It's thought
that the short wavelength limit is the vicinity of the Planck length, and the long wavelength
limit is the size of the universe itself, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and
continuous."

25 "... her gaze seemed to penetrate right through me, as though she had "x-ray
vision".
"In fictional stories, X-ray vision has generally been portrayed as the ability to see through
layers of objects at the discretion of the holder of this superpower. People often pretend to
176
have this ability through the use of X-ray glasses, which are a special type of "joke-around"
or prank-gag toys with the secret of its "x-ray properties" being unknown. The goal is usually
to see through clothing, usually to determine if someone is carrying a concealed weapon, but
sometimes for purpose of seeing a person's private parts. In the non-fictional realm, X-rays
have many practical uses in the fields of science and medicine. While there are devices
currently extant which can "see" through clothing (using terahertz waves), most are quite
bulky. However, there are night vision equipped video cameras that can be modified to see
through clothing at a frequency just below visible light."

26 ..."Technically, from a medical standpoint, I would say that Airl's body could not
even be called "alive". "
"The word "organism" may broadly be defined as an assembly of molecules that function as
a more or less stable whole and has the properties of life. However, many sources, lexical
and scientific, add conditions that are problematic to defining the word.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines an organism as "[an] individual animal, plant, or
single-celled life form".
This definition problematically excludes non-animal and plant multicellular life forms such as some fungi and protista. Less controversially, perhaps, it excludes
viruses and theoretically-possible man-made non-organic life forms.
Chambers Online Reference provides a much broader definition: "any living structure, such
as a plant, animal, fungus or bacterium, capable of growth and reproduction". The definition
"any life form capable of independent reproduction, organic or otherwise" would encompass
all cellular life, as well as the possibility of synthetic life capable of independent reproduction,
but would exclude viruses, which are dependent on the biochemical machinery of a host cell
for reproduction. Some may use a definition that would also include viruses."

27 "...in space there is not gravity..."
"The terms gravitation and gravity are mostly interchangeable in everyday use, but in
scientific usage a distinction may be made. "Gravitation" is a general term describing the
attractive influence that all objects with mass exert on each other, while "gravity" specifically
refers to a force that is supposed in some theories (such as Newton's) to be the cause of this
attraction. By contrast, in general relativity gravitation is due to space-time curvatures that
cause inertially moving objects to accelerate towards each other.
Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation is a physical law describing the
gravitational attraction between bodies with mass. It is a part of classical mechanics and was
first formulated in Newton's work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in
1687. In modern language it states the following:
Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the line
intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses:
177
where:
• F is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two point masses,
• G is the gravitational constant,
• m1 is the mass of the first point mass,
• m2 is the mass of the second point mass,
• r is the distance between the two point masses."

28 "...stenographer..."
"Shorthand is an abbreviated and/or symbolic writing method that increases speed or brevity
of writing as compared to a normal method of writing a language. The process of writing in
shorthand is called stenography, from the Greek stenos (narrow) and graphē (writing). It has
also been called brachygraphy, from Greek brachys (short) and tachygraphy, from Greek
tachys (swift, speedy), depending on whether compression or speed of writing is the goal.
Many forms of shorthand exist. A typical shorthand system provides symbols or
abbreviations for words and common phrases, which allow someone well trained in the
system to write as quickly as people speak. Shorthand was used more widely in the past,
before the invention of recording and dictation machines."

29 "... INVESTIGATION OF "BURNING CLOUDS" / RADIATION / EXPLOSIONS..."
"July 16, 1945..." -- The first test of a nuclear device was made in the desert north of
Alamogordo, New Mexico. Roswell, New Mexico is only 117 miles from Alamogordo.
NOTE: In 1932 that British explorers in Model-A Fords first visited this area of western
Egypt, where they discovered a mysterious yellow-green glass scattered across the surface.
Ever since, Libyan Desert Glass has fascinated scientists, who have dreamed up all sorts of
ideas about how it could have formed. Its too silica rich to be volcanic. In some ways it
resembles the tektites generated by the high pressures associated with asteroid impacts.
Vincenzo de Michele visited the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and noticed that one of King
Tutankhamuns jeweled breastplates contained a carved scarab that looked suspiciously like
a piece of the glass. A simple optical measurement confirmed the match in 1998. Nuclear
explosions are hot enough to fuse surface materials into glass, much like the first
atomic explosion generated yellow - green glass at the Trinity, New Mexico site in
1945. Many similar sites around the world that are associated with unexplainable
"cataclysmic" events reveal the same yellow - green glass. This "yellow-green glass" has
been discovered in strata of rock which contain dinosaur fossils all over the world.
June 30, 1947 -- "The Evaluation of the Atomic Bomb as a Military Weapon", made by the
Atomic Energy Commission was received by President Truman. With a brilliant flourish of
suicidal logic, that only the military, politicians other lunatics are capable of fathoming, the
recommendation of the Commission, based on explosions of bombs in Alamogordo, New
Mexico, on innocent civilians in two Japanese cities, and on the Marshall Islands, was as
follows: (Seriously, you can't make this shit up, folks!)
"PART III -- Conclusions and Recommendations
178
Section One - CONCLUSIONS
1. The Board has reached the following major conclusions:
(1) If used in numbers, atomic bombs not only can nullify any nation's military effort,
but can demolish its social and economic structures and prevent their reestablishment
for long periods of time. With such weapons, especially if employed in conjunction with
other weapons of mass destruction as, for example, pathogenic bacteria, it is quite
possible to depopulate vast areas of the earth's surface, leaving only vestigial remnants
of man's material works.
(2) The threat of the uncontrolled use of the atomic bomb and of other weapons of
mass destruction is a threat to mankind and to civilization. Only the outlawing of all war
and the setting up on an adequate international control of weapons of mass destruction
can lift this threat from the peoples of the world.
(3) In the absence of absolute guarantees of abiding peace, the United States has
not alternative but to continue the manufacture and stockpiling of weapons of nuclear
fission and to carry on continuous research and development for their improvement in
the means of their delivery."

One thousand thousand = one million. ( 1,000,000 )
One thousand million = one billion. ( 1,000,000,000 )
One thousand billion = one trillion. ( 1,000,000,000,000 )
"The English names for large numbers are coined from the Latin names for small numbers n
by adding the ending -illion suggested by the name "million." Thus billion and trillion are
coined from the Latin prefixes bi- (n = 2) and tri- (n = 3), respectively.
In recent years, American usage has eroded the European number definitions, particularly in
Britain and to a lesser extent in other countries. This is primarily due to American finance,
because Americans insist that $1,000,000,000 be called a billion dollars. In 1974, the
government of Prime Minister Harold Wilson announced that henceforth "billion" would mean
109
and not 1012 in official British reports and statistics. Anyone who uses the words "billion"
and "trillion" internationally should make clear which meaning of those words is intended."

This was probably Gertrude R. Schmeidler, who was a notable experimental psychologist
and parapsychologist at the time. She published journal articles and books about how
various factors and traits affect a person's extrasensory perception (ESP) abilities.
Studied the role of women in parapsychology, and formed groups and institutes interested in
the study of ESP, such as the American Society for Psychical Research, the Duke University
Parapsychology Laboratory, and the Parapsychology Foundation, Inc.
179
Reflected in much of her research is the work for which Schmeidler is most notable, the
development of the metaphor of the sheep and goats. She determined through several
cycles of ESP card-guessing experiments that "sheep" (persons who believed that success
was possible in ESP tasks) scored higher than "goats" (those who rejected the possibility of
success).

Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras (now Chennai), India. He was
subsequently raised under the tutelage of Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, leaders of the
Society at the time, who believed him to be a "vehicle" for an expected "World Teacher". As
a young man, he disavowed this idea and dissolved a world-wide organization (the Order of
the Star) established to support it. He spent the rest of his life traveling the world as an
individual speaker, speaking to large and small groups, as well as with interested individuals.
He was a well-known writer and speaker on fundamental philosophical and spiritual subjects.
His subject matter included (but was not limited to): the purpose of meditation, human
relationships, and how to enact positive change in global society. At the age of 34, he
publicly renounced the fame and messiah status he had gained from being proclaimed the
new incarnation of the Maitreya Buddha by the Theosophical Society, and spent the rest of
his life publishing regularly and holding public talks, mostly in South Asia, Europe and the
United States. At age 90 he addressed the United Nations on the subject of peace and

19,176,075,967,324.937 miles) in diameter and are usually separated by distances on the
order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs). Intergalactic space (the space between
galaxies) is filled with a tenuous gas of an average density less than one atom per cubic
meter.
Beginning in the 1990s, the Hubble Space Telescope yielded improved observations.
Among other things, it established that the missing dark matter in our galaxy cannot solely
consist of inherently faint and small stars. The Hubble Deep Field, an extremely long

"In linguistics, a homonym is one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the
same pronunciation but have different meanings. Some sources only require that homonyms
share the same spelling or pronunciation (in addition to having different meanings).
Examples of homonyms are stalk (which can mean either part of a plant or to follow
someone around), bear (animal) and bear (carry), left (opposite of right) and left (past tense
of leave). Some sources also consider the following trio of words to be homonyms, but
others designate them as "only" homophones: to, too and two (actually, to, to, too, too and
two, being "for the purpose of" as in "to make it easier", the opposite of "from", also,
excessively, and "2", respectively). The word "homonym" comes from the conjunction of the
Greek prefix homo- (meaning same) and suffix -onym (meaning name). Thus, it refers to two
or more distinct words sharing the "same name"."

variants accumulated throughout history. Studies carried out in China have shown that full
literacy requires a knowledge of between three and four thousand characters.
In the Chinese writing system, each character corresponds to a single spoken syllable. A
majority of words in all modern varieties of Chinese are poly-syllabic and thus require two or
more characters to write. Cognates in the various Chinese languages/dialects which have
the same or similar meaning but different pronunciations can be written with the same
character. In addition, many Chinese characters were adopted according to their
meaning by the Japanese and Korean languages to represent native words,
disregarding pronunciation altogether."

for school children. In addition to the work done on these by William Holmes McGuffey, he
was assisted by his brother, Alexander Hamilton McGuffey, who also compiled a speller and
had sole responsibility for the Fifth Reader. Alexander taught school while working on his law
degree and opened a law office in Cincinnati in 1839. The McGuffey Readers sold over
125,000,000 copies.
McGuffey became a "roving" teacher at the age of 14, beginning with 48 students in a one
room school in Calcutta, Ohio. The size of the class was just one of several challenges faced
182
by the young McGuffey. In many one-teacher schools, children's ages varied from six to
twenty-one. McGuffey often worked 11 hours a day, 6 days a week in a succession of
frontier schools. He had a remarkable ability to memorize, and could commit to mind entire
books of the Bible.
The first Reader taught reading by using the phonics method, the identification of letters and
their arrangement into words, and aided with slate work. The second Reader came into play
once the student could read, and helped them to understand the meaning of sentences while
providing vivid stories which children could remember. The third Reader taught the
definitions of words, and was written at a level equivalent to the modern 5th or 6th grade.
The fourth Reader was written for the highest levels of ability on the grammar school level,
which students completed with this book.
McGuffey's Readers were among the first textbooks in America that were designed to
become progressively more challenging with each volume. They used word repetition in the
text as a learning tool, which built strong reading skills through challenging reading.
Sounding-out, enunciation and accents were emphasized. Colonial-era texts had offered dull
lists of 20 to 100 new words per page for memorization. In contrast, McGuffey used new
vocabulary words in the context of real literature, gradually introducing new words and
carefully repeating the old.
McGuffey believed that teachers should study the lessons as well as their students and
suggested they read aloud to their classes. He also listed questions after each story for he
believed in order for a teacher to give instruction, one must ask questions. The Readers
emphasized spelling, vocabulary, and formal public speaking, which, in 19th century
America, was a more common requirement than today.
Henry Ford cited McGuffey's Readers as one of his most important childhood
influences. He was an avid fan of McGuffey's Readers first editions, and claimed as an
adult to be able to quote from McGuffey's by memory at great length. Ford republished all six
Readers from the 1857 edition, and distributed complete sets of them, at his own expense,
to schools across the United States.
McGuffey's Readers contain many derogatory references to ethnic and religious minorities.
For example, Native Americans are referred to as "savages". There are those who regard
the references in the book to the Jews and Judaism as anti-Semitic. For instance, in Neil
Baldwin's Henry Ford and the Jews, the author makes the case that Henry Ford's selfavowed anti-Semitism originated with his study of McGuffey's as a schoolboy. Baldwin cites
numerous anti-semitic references to Shylock and to Jews attacking Jesus and Paul. He also
quotes the Fourth Reader to the effect that "Jewish authors were incapable of the diction
and strangers to the morality contained in the gospel." The readers further characterize Jews
as "Christ killers" and labels their reverence of the Old Testament as "superstitious," and
teach that Jews have been rejected by God for being "unfaithful"."

41 "... the phonics method ..."
"Phonics refers to an instructional method for teaching children to read English. Phonics
involves teaching children to connect sounds with letters or groups of letters (e.g., that the
183
sound /k/ can be represented by c, k, or ck spellings) and teaching them to blend the sounds
of letters together to produce approximate pronunciations of unknown words."

42 "... brought in a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica..."
"The Encyclopædia Britannica is a general English-language encyclopaedia published by
Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., a privately held company. The Britannica has a popular
reputation for summarizing all of human knowledge. To further their education, many have
devoted themselves to reading the entire Britannica, taking anywhere from three to 22 years
to do so. When Fat'h Ali became the Shah of Persia in 1797, he was given a complete set of
the Britannica's 3rd edition, which he read completely; after this feat, he extended his royal
title to include "Most Formidable Lord and Master of the Encyclopædia Britannica." Writer
George Bernard Shaw claimed to have read the complete 9th edition—except for the
science articles—and Richard Evelyn Byrd took the Britannica as reading material for his
five-month stay at the South Pole in 1934.
The articles in the Britannica are aimed at educated adult readers, and written by a staff of
19 full-time editors and over 4,000 expert contributors. It is widely perceived as the most
scholarly of encyclopaedias. Since the 3rd edition, the Britannica has enjoyed a popular and
critical reputation for general excellence. On the release of the 14th edition, Time magazine
dubbed the Britannica the "Patriarch of the Library". In a related advertisement, naturalist
William Beebe was quoted as saying that the Britannica was "beyond comparison because
there is no competitor." References to the Britannica can be found throughout English
literature, most notably in one of Arthur Conan Doyle's favorite Sherlock Holmes stories,
"The Red-Headed League"."

43 "...her favorite books were Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ..."
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a work of literary nonsense written by
English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, considered a
classic example of the genre and of English literature in general. It tells the story of a girl
named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantastic realm populated by peculiar and
anthropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends (and
enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The
tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well
as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of
literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential,
mainly in the fantasy genre."

44 "...Don Quixote de la Mancha..."
"An early novel written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Cervantes created
a fictional origin for the story based upon a manuscript by the invented Moorish historian,
Cide Hamete Benengeli. The work was published in two volumes: the first in 1605, and the
second in 1614.
184
The protagonist, Alonso Quixano, is a country gentleman who has read so many stories of
chivalry that he descends into fantasy and becomes convinced he is a knight errant.
Together with his earthy squire Sancho Panza, the self-styled "Don Quixote de la Mancha"
sets out in search of adventure. The "lady" for whom Quixote seeks to toil is Dulcinea del
Toboso, an imaginary object crafted from a neighboring farm girl (her real name is Aldonza
Lorenzo) by the illusion-struck "knight" to be the object of his courtly love. "Dulcinea" is
totally unaware of Quixote's feelings for her, nor does she actually appear in the novel.
Published in two volumes a decade apart, Don Quixote is the most influential work of
literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age and perhaps the entire Spanish literary
canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, it regularly appears at or near the
top of lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published and is the best-selling non-religious,
non-political work of fiction of all time."

45 "...One Thousand and One Nights..."
"One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic: باتك فلأ ةليل ةليلو - kitāb 'alf laylah wa-laylah;
Persian: رازه و کی بش - ezār-o yak šab) is a collection of stories collected over thousands
of years by various authors, translators and scholars in various countries. These collections
of tales trace their roots back to ancient Arabia and Yemen, ancient India, ancient Persia
(especially the Sassanid Hazār Afsān Persian: رازه ناسفا ,lit. Thousand Tales), ancient
Egypt, ancient Mesopotamian Mythology, ancient Syria, and medieval Arabic folk stories
from the Caliphate era. Though an original manuscript has never been found several
versions date the collection's genesis to somewhere between AD 800-900.
The main frame story concerns a Persian king and his new bride. The king, Shahryar, upon
discovering his former wife's infidelity has her executed and then declares all women to be
unfaithful. He begins to marry a succession of virgins only to execute each one the next
morning. Eventually the vizier cannot find any more virgins. Scheherazade, the vizier's
daughter, offers herself as the next bride and her father reluctantly agrees. On the night of
their marriage, Scheherazade tells the king a tale, but does not end it. The king is thus
forced to keep her alive in order to hear the conclusion. The next night, as soon as she
finishes the tale, she begins (and only begins) another. So it goes for 1,001 nights.
The tales vary widely: they include historical tales, love stories, tragedies, comedies, poems,
burlesques, various forms of erotica, and Muslim religious legends. Numerous stories depict
djinn, magicians, and legendary places, which are often intermingled with real people and
geography; the historical caliph Harun al-Rashid is a common protagonist, as are his alleged
court poet Abu Nuwas and his vizier, Ja'far al-Barmaki. Sometimes a character in
Scheherazade's tale will begin telling other characters a story of his own, and that story may
have another one told within it, resulting in a richly-layered narrative texture.
The different versions have different individually detailed endings (in some Scheherazade
asks for a pardon, in some the king sees their children and decides not to execute his wife,
in some other things happen that make the king distracted) but they all end with the king
giving his wife a pardon and sparing her life.
The narrator's standards for what constitutes a cliffhanger seem broader than in modern
literature. While in many cases a story is cut off with the hero in danger of losing his life or
another kind of deep trouble, in some parts of the full text Scheherazade stops her narration
185
in the middle of an exposition of abstract philosophical principles or complex points of
Islamic philosophy, and in one case during a detailed description of human anatomy
according to Galen—and in all these cases turns out to be justified in her belief that the
king's curiosity about the sequel would buy her another day of life.
The Indian folklore is represented by certain animal stories, which reflect influence from
ancient Sanskrit fables. The Jataka is a collection of 547 stories, which are for the most part
moral stories with an ethical purpose. The Tale of the Bull and the Ass and the linked Tale of
the Merchant and his Wife are found in the frame stories of both the Jataka and the Arabian
Nights."

46 "... Adventures of Huckleberry Finn...”
"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) (often shortened to Huck Finn) by Mark Twain. The
book is noted for its innocent young protagonist, its colorful description of people and places
along the Mississippi River, and its sober and often scathing look at entrenched attitudes,
particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huckleberry Finn and his friend, runaway slave
Jim, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of
escape and freedom in all of American literature."

47 "... Gulliver's Travels ..."
"Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), officially Travels into Several Remote Nations of
the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several
Ships, is a novel by Jonathan Swift that is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the
"travellers' tales" literary sub-genre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of
English literature. The book became tremendously popular as soon as it was published
(John Gay said in a 1726 letter to Swift that "it is universally read, from the cabinet council to
the nursery"), and it is likely that it has never been out of print since then. The book
presents itself as a simple traveller's narrative with the disingenuous title Travels into
Several Remote Nations of the World, its authorship assigned only to "Lemuel Gulliver, first
a surgeon, then a captain of several ships"."

48 "...Peter Pan..."
Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie (1860
1937). A mischievous boy who flies and magically refuses to grow up, Peter Pan spends his
never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his
gang the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies and pirates, and from time to time meeting
ordinary children from the world outside.
Barrie never described Peter's appearance in detail, leaving much of it to the imagination of
the reader and the interpretation of anyone adapting the character. He describes him as a
beautiful boy with a beautiful smile, "clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that flow from
trees".
186
Peter is mainly an exaggerated stereotype of a boastful and careless boy. He is quick to
point out how great he is. Peter has a nonchalant, devil-may-care attitude, and is fearlessly
cocky when it comes to putting himself in danger. Barrie writes that when Peter thought he
was going to die on Marooner's Rock, he felt scared, yet he felt only one shudder run
through him when any other person would've felt scared up until death. With his blissful
unawareness of the tragedy of death, he says, "To die will be an awfully big adventure".
Peter's archetypal ability is his refusal to grow up. Barrie did not explain how he was able to
do this, leaving the implication that it was by an act of will.
Peter is a skilled swordsman, with the skill to rival even Captain Hook, whose hand he cut off
in a duel. He has remarkably keen vision and hearing. Peter Pan is said to be able to do
almost anything. Peter has an effect on the whole of Neverland and its inhabitants when he
is there. Barrie states that the island wakes up when he returns from his trip to London.
Peter is the leader of the Lost Boys, a band of boys who were lost by their parents, and
came to live in Neverland. He is friends with Tinker Bell, a common fairy who is often
jealously protective of him."

49 "...The Legend of Sleepy Hollow... "
"A short story by Washington Irving contained in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey
Crayon, Gent., written while he was living in Birmingham, England, and first published in
1820. With Irving's companion piece "Rip Van Winkle", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is
among the earliest American fiction still read today.
The story is set circa 1790 in the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town, New York, in a secluded
glen called Sleepy Hollow. It tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a lanky schoolmaster from
Connecticut, who competes with Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt, the town rowdy, for the
hand of 18-year-old Katrina Van Tassel, only daughter of a wealthy farmer. As Crane leaves
a party at the Van Tassel home on an autumn night, he is pursued by the Headless
Horseman, supposedly the ghost of a Hessian trooper who lost his head to a cannonball
during "some nameless battle" of the American Revolutionary War and who "rides forth to
the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head." Crane disappears from town, leaving Katrina
to marry Brom Bones, who was "to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of Ichabod
was related."

50 "...Sanskrit of the Vedic Hymns..."
"Sanskrit (संःकृता वाक् sasktā vāk, for short संःकृतम sa् sktam) is a classical
language of South Asia, a liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, and
one of the 23 official languages of India.
Its position in the cultures of South and Southeast Asia is akin to that of Latin and Greek in
Europe and it has evolved into, as well as influenced, many modern-day languages of the
world. It appears in pre-Classical form as Vedic Sanskrit, with the language of the Rigveda
being the oldest and most archaic stage preserved. Dating back to as early as 1500 BCE,
187
Vedic Sanskrit is the earliest attested Indo-Aryan language, and one of the earliest attested
members of the Indo-European language family.
The corpus of Sanskrit literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and drama as well
as scientific, technical, philosophical and religious texts. Today, Sanskrit continues to be
widely used as a ceremonial language in Hindu religious rituals in the forms of hymns and
mantras. Spoken Sanskrit is still in use in a few traditional institutions in India, and there are
some attempts at revival.
The scope of this article is the Classical Sanskrit language as laid out in the grammar of
Panini, around the 4th century BCE."

51 "Part of the search required interaction with the human population that inhabited
the adjoining at that time."
-- Editor's Note: (The western borders of Pakistan include the Khyber Pass and Bolan
Pass, traditional invasion routes between Central Asia. The closest civilization using
Sanskrit at the date and nearest the location of "The Domain Base" would have been in the
foothills of the Himalayas. This was the in the area of "Mehrgarh", an early beginning of the
Indus Valley civilization which has been recently excavated.)
"(Bolan Pass (Urdu:  ) is a mountain pass through the Toba Kakar Range of
mountains in western Pakistan, 120 kilometres from the Afghanistan border. Strategically
located, traders, invaders, and nomadic tribes have also used it as a gateway to and from
the South Asia.)
The Khyber Pass, (also spelled Khaiber or Khaybar) (Urdu:  ) (altitude:
1,070 m , 3,510 ft) is the mountain pass that links Pakistan and Afghanistan. Throughout
history it has been an important trade route between Central Asia and South Asia and a
strategic military location.
"Mehrgarh is now seen as a precursor to the Indus Valley Civilization. "Discoveries at
Mehrgarh changed the entire concept of the Indus civilization," according to Ahmad Hasan
Dani, professor emeritus of archaeology at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, "There we
have the whole sequence, right from the beginning of settled village life.
The Kachi plain and in the Bolan basin (are) situated at the Bolan peak pass, one of the
main routes connecting southern Afghanistan, eastern Iran, the Balochistan hills and the
Indus valley. This area of rolling hills is thus located on the western edge of the Indus valley,
where, around 2500 BC, a large urban civilization emerged at the same time as those of
Mesorpotamia and the ancient Egyptian empire. For the first time in the Indian subcontinent,
a continuous sequence of dwelling-sites has been established from 7000 BC to 500 BC. The
chalcolithic people of Mehrgarh also had contacts with contemporaneous cultures in
northern Afghanistan, northeastern Iran and southern central Asia.
in April 2006, it was announced in the scientific journal Nature that the oldest (and first early
Neolithic) evidence for the drilling of human teeth in vivo (i.e. in a living person) was found in
Mehrgarh. According to the authors, their discoveries point to a tradition of proto-dentistry in
the early farming cultures of that region. "Here we describe eleven drilled molar crowns from
188
nine adults discovered in a Neolithic graveyard in Pakistan that dates from 7,500 to 9,000
years ago."

52 "... they reported sighting "vimanas" or space craft in the area.."
"A vimāna (Sanskrit: ǒवमान) is a mythical flying machine, described in the Sanskrit epics.
The predecessors of the flying vimanas of the Sanskrit epics are the flying chariots
employed by various gods in the Vedas.
The first flying vimana mentioned in Hindu mythology:
"The Pushpaka chariot that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was
brought by the powerful Ravana; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at
will .... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky ... and the King [Rama] got in,
and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher
atmosphere.'
The Rigveda does not mention Vimanas, but verses RV 1.164.47-48 have been taken as
evidence for the idea of "mechanical birds":
"Dark the descent: the birds are golden-coloured; up to the heaven they fly robed in
the waters.
Again descend they from the seat of Order, and all the earth is moistened with their
fatness."
"Twelve are the fellies, and the wheel is single; three are the naves. What man hath
understood it?
Therein are set together spokes three hundred and sixty, which in nowise can be
loosened." (trans. Griffith)
In Dayananda Saraswati's "translation", these verses become:
"jumping into space speedily with a craft using fire and water ... containing twelve
stamghas (pillars), one wheel, three machines, 300 pivots, and 60 instruments."
But likelier in the original Indian symbolism when that hymn was composed, the wheel is a
year, the 12 "fellies" are months (lunations), and the 360 spokes are days.
In the Ramayana, the pushpaka ("flowery") vimana of Ravana is described as follows:
"The Pushpaka chariot that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was
brought by the powerful Ravana; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at
will .... that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky ... and the King [Rama] got in,
and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher
atmosphere.'
It is the first flying vimana mentioned in Hindu mythology (as distinct from the gods' flying
horse-drawn chariots).
189
Pushpaka was originally made by Maya for Kubera, the God of wealth, but was later stolen,
along with Lanka, by his half-brother, the demon king Ravana.
One example is that the Asura Maya had a Vimana measuring twelve cubits in
circumference, with four strong wheels. Apart from 'blazing missiles', the poem records the
use of other deadly weapons. 'Indra's Dart' (Indravajrā) operated via a circular 'reflector'.
When switched on, it produced a 'shaft of light' which, when focused on any target,
immediately 'consumed it with its power'.
In one exchange, the hero, Krishna, is pursuing his enemy, Salva, in the sky, when Salva's
Vimana, the Saubha, is made invisible in some way. Undeterred, Krishna immediately fires
off a special weapon: "I quickly laid on an arrow, which killed by seeking out sound".
Many other terrible weapons are described in the Mahabharata, but the most fearsome of all
is the one used against the Vrishis. The narrative records:
"Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the
Vrishnis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousands suns, rose
in all its splendour. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic
messenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and
Andhakas."

her "doll body" eyes, upload the data to a computer on the "space station", have it processed

54 "... I was "outside" of my body, looking down from the ceiling..."
"An out-of-body experience (OBE), is an experience that typically involves a sensation of
floating outside of one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a
place outside one's body (autoscopy). About one in ten people has reported having an outof-body experience at some time in their lives. It is claimed that those experiencing an OBE
sometimes observe details which were unknown to them beforehand.
The first extensive scientific study of OBEs was made by Celia Green (1968). She collected
written, first-hand accounts from a total of 400 subjects, recruited by means of appeals in the
mainstream media, and followed up by questionnaire. some 80% reported feeling they were
a disembodied consciousness, with no external body at all.
Another form of a spontaneous OBE occurs during a near death experience (NDE). The
phenomenology of an NDE usually includes physiological, psychological and transcendental
factors (Parnia, Waller, Yeates & Fenwick, 2001) such as impressions of being outside the
physical body (an out-of-body experience), Typically the experience follows a distinct
progression, starting with the sensation of floating above one's body and seeing the
surrounding area."

"Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, which typically occurs during
thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. The leader of a bolt
of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s, and can reach temperatures approaching
30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse soil or sand into glass channels. There are over
16 million lightning storms every year."

56 ..."electronic wavelength"...
"In physics, wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a propagating wave of a
given frequency. It is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ). Examples of
wave-like phenomena are light, water waves, and sound waves. In a wave, a property varies
with the position. For example, this property can be the air pressure for a sound wave, or the
magnitude of the electric or the magnetic field for light. The wavelengths of frequencies
audible to the human ear (20 Hz20 kHz) are between approximately 17 m and 17 mm,
respectively. Visible light ranges from deep red, roughly 700 nm to violet, roughly 400 nm
(430750 THz). For other examples, see electromagnetic spectrum."

57 ..."space opera" civilization"...
"It was not until the 1920s that the space opera proper appeared in the pulp magazines
Weird Tales and Amazing Stories. Unlike earlier stories of space adventure, which either
related the invasion of Earth by extraterrestrials, or concentrated on the invention of a space
vehicle by a genius inventor, pure space opera simply took space travel for granted (usually
by setting the story in the far future), skipped the preliminaries, and launched straight into
tales of derring-do among the stars.
The first stories of this type were J. Schlossel's The Second Swarm (Spring 1928) in
Amazing Stories Quarterly and Edmond Hamilton's Crashing Suns (August-September
1928) and The Star Stealers (February 1929) in Weird Tales . Similar stories by other writers
followed through 1929 and 1930; by 1931 the space opera was well-established as a
dominant sub-genre of science fiction.
The transition from the older space-voyage story to the space opera can be seen in the
works of E. E. "Doc" Smith. His first published work, The Skylark of Space (August-October
1928, Amazing Stories), merges the traditional tale of a scientist inventing a space-drive with
planetary romance in the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs; but by the time of the sequel,
Skylark Three (August-October 1930, Amazing Stories) which introduces the space faring
race of the Fenachrone, Smith had moved closer to a space opera mode.
Space opera in its most familiar form was a product of 1930s-40s pulp magazines. Like early
science fiction in general, space opera borrowed much of its style from established
adventure, crime, and thriller genres. Notable influences included stories that described
adventures on exotic or uncivilized frontiers, e.g. the American West, Africa, or the Orient.
191
The imagined future of space opera included immense space liners, intrepid explorers of
unknown worlds, pirates of the space ways, and tough but incorruptible space police.
E. E. "Doc" Smith's later Lensman Series and the works of Edmond Hamilton, John W.
Campbell, and Jack Williamson in the 1930s and 1940s were popular with readers and much
imitated by other writers. By the early 1940s, the repetitiousness and extravagance of some
of these stories led to objections from some fans."

58 "...1493 AD -- "The Requirement"...
"The Requirement was published as a papal "bull", issued by the infamous Pope Alexander
VI, (Rodrigo Borgia), Roman Catholic Pope from 1492 until his death, is the most memorable
of the Popes of the Renaissance.
Because of the pre-existence of millions of people living in the Americas in 1493, the King of
Spain, had a small twinge of fear at the prospect that God might become angry at him for all
the murder, theft and mayhem he endorsed in the New World. So, he persuaded Pope
Alexander VI to sanction an official proclamation intended to dissolve the stain of bloody
culpability from the King's own immortal soul. This document, called "The Requirement",
was supposed to be read, whether translated into the native language of the inhabitants or
not, to the citizens of every foreign nation just prior to their conquest. The gist of the
proclamation was to inform the soon to be vanquished that their lands were being "donated"
to Spain.
The Requirement read, in part:
"I, (name of the Conquistador), servant of the high and mighty Kings of Castile and
Leon, conquerors of barbarian peoples, and being their messenger and Captain, hereby
notify and inform you ... that God Our Lord, One and Eternal, created Heaven and Earth and
a man and a woman from whom you and I and all the multitude begotten from these over the
past five thousand and some years since the world was made ... And so I request and
require you ... to recognize the Church as your Mistress and as Governess of the World and
Universe, and the High Priest, called the Pope, in Her name, and His Majesty (the King of
Spain) in Her place, as Ruler and Lord King ... And if you do not do this ... with the help of
God I shall come mightily against you, and I shall make war on you everywhere and in every
way that I can, and I shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church and His
Majesty, and I shall seize your women and children, and I shall make them slaves, to sell
and dispose of as His Majesty commands, and I shall do all the evil and damage to you that I
am able. And I insist that the deaths and destruction that result from this will be your fault."
One of the first to hear The Requirement were the chiefs of the Maya, whose scale of time
for the creation of life on Earth did not begin a mere 5,000 years earlier, as suggested by the
Pope, rather the Mayan measured original creation in millions of years by the astronomical
calendars they kept, which tracked the solar year accurately to within a few seconds a year.
Their comment upon hearing The Requirement was, "The Holy Father has indeed been
generous with others' property".
The Requirement was originally intended as a response to complaints by Spanish clerics
that the wars against the Native American peoples were unjust. Comparing them to Spain's
wars against the Moors, the clerics claimed that Muslims had knowledge of Christ and
rejected Him, so that waging a Crusade against them was legitimate. In contrast, wars
192
against the Native Americans, who had never come into contact with Christianity were
unacceptable. The Requirement was intended as a legal loophole to place the native
population in the position of having rejected Christianity. It stated: "We protest that any
deaths that result from this [rejection of Christianity] are your fault…"
Many critics of the conquistadors' policies were appalled by the flippant nature of the
Requirement, and the priest, Bartolomeo de Las Casas, said in response to it that he did not
know whether to laugh or to cry. While the conquistadors were encouraged to use an
interpreter to read the Requirement, this was not absolutely necessary, and in many cases, it
was read out to an uncomprehending populace. In some instances, it was read to barren
beaches and empty villages, long after the natives had fled, to prisoners after they were
captured, or even from the decks of ships once they had just spotted the coast.
Nevertheless, for the conquistadors, it provided a religious justification for attacking and
enslaving the native population, and because of its potential to enrich the coffers of Spain,
the Requirement was not generally questioned."

The net result of the "discovery" of the "New World" which wasn't really "new" as it had been
around as long as any other continent, and had a larger population than Europe, was as
follows:
1) hundreds of indigenous cultures were eradicated 2) approximately 100 million people
were killed by disease and war brought upon them by "aliens" 3) 100 million people from the
Gold Coast of Africa were enslaved, and/ or murdered by Europeans in an effort to replace
the "labor force" of slaughtered indigenous population of the Western Hemisphere 4) nearly
all of the priceless literature, history, cultural and artistic artifacts of the Western hemisphere
were destroyed 5) most of the gold and gems mined over a period of thousands of years by
indigenous people were stolen and shipped off the a handful of greedy, idiotic, uneducated,
filthy, disease-ridden, superstitious, murderous, thieves in Europe who squandered it on
mindless self-indulgences. -- The Editor

which consists mainly of the dark side of the moon...".
"According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the aliens have a base on the Moon and
(the aliens) told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon!
Sound far fetched? Milton Cooper, a Naval Intelligence Officer tells us that not only does the
Alien Moon Base exist but the U.S. Naval Intelligence Community refers to the Alien Moon
Base as "Luna," that there is a huge mining operation going on there, and that is where the
aliens keep their huge mother ships while the trips to Earth are made in smaller "flying
saucers".
LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was seen and filmed by the Apollo
astronauts. A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and the very large alien
craft described in sighting reports as mother ships exist there. -Milton Cooper
Did Apollo 11 Encounter UFOs on the Moon? from the Book "Above Top Secret" by Timothy
Good.
193
According to hitherto unconfirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw
UFOs shortly after their historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I
remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a carter during the
television transmission, followed by a request from mission control for further information.
Nothing more was heard.
According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own
VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following
exchange:
NASA: What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11...
Apollo: These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it! I'm
telling you there are other spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge!
They're on the Moon watching us!
In 1979, Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems confirmed that
Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. "The encounter was
common knowledge in NASA," he revealed, "but nobody has talked about it until now."
Soviet scientists were allegedly the first to confirm the incident. "According to our
information, the encounter was reported immediately after the landing of the module," said
Dr. Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Moscow University. "Neil
Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were
watching them after having landed near the moon module. But his message was never
heard by the public-because NASA censored it. "
According to another Soviet scientist, Dr. Aleksandr Kazantsev, Buzz Aldrin took color movie
film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after he and Armstrong
went outside. Dr. Azhazha claims that the UFOs departed minutes after the astronauts came
out on to the lunar surface.
Maurice Chatelain also confirmed that Apollo 11's radio transmissions were interrupted on
several occasions in order to hide the news from the public. Before dismissing Chatelain's
sensational claims, it is worth noting his impressive background in the aerospace industry
and space program. His first job after moving from France was as an electronics engineer
with Convair, specializing in telecommunications, telemetry, and radar. In 1959 he was in
charge of an electromagnetic research group, developing new radar and
telecommunications systems for Ryan. One of his eleven patents was an automatic flights to
the Moon. Later, at North American Aviation, Chatelain was offered the job of designing and
building the Apollo communications and data-processing systems.
Chatelain claims that "all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and
sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin-flying saucers, or
UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed
Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence." He goes on to say:
"I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code
name 'Santa Claus' to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules.
However, his announcements were barely noticed by the general public.
194
It was a little different when James Lovell on board the Apollo 8 command module came out
from behind the moon and said for everybody to hear:
'PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.'
Even though this happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden meaning
in those words."
Rumors persist. NASA may well be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded
by the defense budget and most of the astronauts are subject to military security regulations.
Apart from the fact that the National Security Agency screens all films and probably radio
communications as well. We have the statements by Otto Binder, Dr. Garry Henderson and
Maurice Chatelain that the astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their sightings.
And Gordon Cooper has testified to a United Nations committee that one of the astronauts
actually witnessed a UFO on the ground. If there is no secrecy, why has this sighting not
been made public?
A certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was engaged in a discussion with
Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium.
Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?
Armstrong: It was incredible, of course we had always known there was a possibility, the fact
is, we were warned off! (by the Aliens). There was never any question then of a space
station or a moon city.
Professor: How do you mean "warned off"?
Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both
in size and technology - Boy, were they big!... and menacing! No, there is no question of a
space station.
Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?
Armstrong: Naturally-NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But
it really was a quick scoop and back again.
Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but refused to go into further detail, beyond
admitting that the CIA was behind the cover-up.
Reasonable activity of an alien civilization showed up unexpectedly close to us. We were not
ready for it psychologically
We still can come across publications trying to find an answer to the question: Are we alone
in the universe? At the same time, presence of reasonable creatures has been detected just
close to our home, in the Moon. However, the discovery was immediately classified as
secret, as it was so much incredible that even could shake the already existing social
principles, reports Russia's newspaper "Vecherny Volgograd."
Here is an extract from the official press-release:
195
“NASA scientists and engineers participating in exploration of Mars and Moon reported
results of their discoveries at a briefing at the Washington national press club on March 21,
1996. It was announced for the first time that man-caused structures and objects had been
discovered on the Moon.” The scientists spoke rather cautiously and evasively about the
functioning objects, with the exception of UFO. They always mentioned the man-caused
objects as possible, and pointed out the information was still under study, and official results
would be published later.
It was mentioned at the briefing as well that the Soviet Union used to own some photo
materials proving presence of reasonable activity on the Moon. And although it wasn't
identified what kind of reasonable activity it was, thousands of photo-and video materials
photographed from the Apollo and the Clementine space station demonstrated many parts
on the lunar surface where the activity and its traces were perfectly evident. The video films
and photos made by U.S. astronauts during the Apollo program were demonstrated at the
briefing. And people were extremely surprised why the materials hadn't been presented to
the public earlier. And NASA specialists answered: “It was difficult to forecast the reaction of
people to the information that some creatures had been or still were on the Moon. Besides,
there were some other reasons to it, which were beyond NASA.”
Specialist for lunar artifacts Richard Hoagland says that NASA is still trying to veil photo
materials before they are published in public catalogues and files, they do retouching or
partially refocus them while copying. Some investigators, Hoagland is among them, suppose
that an extraterrestrial race had used the Moon as a terminal station during their activity on
the Earth. The suggestions are confirmed by the legends and myths invented by different
nations of our planet.
Ruins of lunar cities stretched along many kilometers, huge transparent domes on massive
basements, numerous tunnels and other constructions make scientists reconsider their
opinions concerning the lunar problems. How the Moon appeared and principles of its
revolving around the Earth still pose a great problem for scientists.
Some partially destroyed objects on the lunar surface cant be placed among natural
geological formations, as they are of complex organization and geometrical structure. In the
upper part of Rima hadley, not far from the place where the Apollo-15 had landed, a
construction surrounded with a tall D-shaped wall was discovered. As of now, different
artifacts have been discovered in 44 regions.
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the Houston Planetary Institute and specialists
from the bank of space information are investigating the regions. Mysterious terrace-shaped
excavations of the rock have been discovered near the Tiho crater. The concentric
hexahedral excavations and the tunnel entry at the terrace side cant be results of natural
geological processes; instead, they look very much like open cast mines.
A transparent dome raised above the crater edge was discovered near the crater
Copernicus. The dome is unusual as it is glowing white and blue from inside. A rather
unusual object, which is unusual indeed even for the Moon, was discovered in the upper part
of the Factory area. A disk of about 50 meters in diameter stands on a square basement
surrounded with rhombi walls. In the picture, close to the rhombi, we can also see a dark
round embrasure in the ground, which resembles an entry in an underground caponier.
There is a regular rectangular area between Factory and the crater Copernicus which is 300
meters wide 400 meters long.
196
Apollo 10 astronauts made a unique picture (AS10-32-4822) of a one-mile long object called
Castle, which is hanging at the height of 14 kilometers and casts a distinct shadow on the
lunar surface. The object seems to be consisting of several cylindrical units and a large
conjunctive unit. Internal porous structure of the Castle is clearly seen in one of the pictures,
which makes an impression that some parts of the object are transparent.
As it turned out at the briefing where many NASA scientists were present, when Richard
Hoagland had requested originals of the Castle pictures for the second time, no pictures
were found there at all. They disappeared even from the list of pictures made by the Apollo
10 crew. Only intermediate pictures of the object were found in the archives, which
unfortunately don't depict the internal structure of the object.
When Apollo-12 crew landed on the lunar surface, they saw that the landing was observed
by a half-transparent pyramidal object. It was hanging just several meters above the lunar
surface and shimmered with all rainbow colors against the black sky.
In 1969, when the film about astronauts traveling to the Sea of Storms was demonstrated
(the astronauts saw the strange objects once again, which were later called “striped
glasses”), NASA finally understood what consequences such kind of control could bring.
Astronaut Mitchell answered the question about his feelings after a successful return the
following: “My neck still aches as I had to constantly turn my head around because we felt
we were not alone there. We had no choice but pray.” Johnston, who worked at the Houston
Space Center and studied photos and video materials done during the Apollo program,
discussed the artifacts with Richard Hoagland and said, the NASA leadership was awfully
annoyed with the great number of anomalous, to put it mildly, objects on the Moon. It was
even said that piloted flights to the Moon could be banned in the programs network.
Investigators are especially interested in ancient structures resembling partially destroyed
cities. The orbital shooting reveals an astonishingly regular geometry of square and
rectangular constructions. They resemble our terrestrial cities seen from the height of 5-8
kilometers. A mission control specialist commented on the pictures: “Our guys observed
ruins of the Lunar cities, transparent pyramids, domes and God knows what else, which are
currently hidden deep inside the NASA safes, and felt like Robinson Crusoe when he
suddenly came across prints of human bare feet on the sand of the desert island.” What do
geologists and scientists say after studying the pictures of lunar cities and other anomalous
objects? They say, such objects can't be natural formations. “We should admit they are
artificial, especially the domes and pyramids.” Reasonable activity of an alien civilization
showed up unexpectedly close to us. We were not ready for it psychologically, and some
people hardly believe they are true even now."

60 "... synthesized from gypsum..."
"Gypsum is a common mineral, with thick and extensive evaporite beds in association with
sedimentary rocks. Deposits are known to occur in strata from as early as the Permian age.
Gypsum is deposited in lake and sea water, as well as in hot springs, from volcanic vapors,
and sulfate solutions in veins. Hydrothermal anhydrite in veins is commonly hydrated to
197
gypsum by groundwater in near surface exposures. It is often associated with the minerals
halite and sulfur.
The word gypsum is derived from the aorist form of the Greek verb µαγειρεύω, "to cook",
referring to the burnt or calcined mineral. Because the gypsum from the quarries of the
Montmartre district of Paris has long furnished burnt gypsum used for various purposes, this
material has been called plaster of Paris. It is also used in foot creams, shampoos and many
other hair products.
Because gypsum dissolves over time in water, gypsum is rarely found in the form of sand.
However, the unique conditions of the White Sands National Monument in the US state of
New Mexico have created a 710 km² (275 sq mile) expanse of white gypsum sand, enough
to supply the construction industry with drywall for 1,000 years."

61 "... electromagnetic force..."
"In physics, the Lorentz force is the force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields.
Lorentz introduced this force in 1892. However, the discovery of the Lorentz force was
before Lorentz's time. In particular, it can be seen at equation (77) in Maxwell's 1861 paper
On Physical Lines of Force. Later, Maxwell listed it as equation "D" of his 1864 paper, A
Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, as one of the eight original Maxwell's
equations. In this paper the equation was written as follows:
where
A is the magnetic vector potential,
φ is the electrostatic potential,
H is the magnetic field H,
µ is magnetic permeability.
Although this equation is obviously a direct precursor of the modern Lorentz force equation,
it actually differs in two respects:
• It does not contain a factor of q, the charge. Maxwell didn't use the concept of
charge. The definition of E used here by Maxwell is unclear. He uses the term
electromotive force. He operated from Faraday's electro-tonic state A, which he
considered to be a momentum in his vortex sea. The closest term that we can trace
to electric charge in Maxwell's papers is the density of free electricity, which appears
to refer to the density of the aethereal medium of his molecular vortices and that
gives rise to the momentum A. Maxwell believed that A was a fundamental quantity
from which electromotive force can be derived.
• The equation here contains the information that what we nowadays call E, which
today can be expressed in terms of scalar and vector potentials according to
198
The fact that E can be expressed this way is equivalent to one of the four modern
Maxwell's equations, the Maxwell-Faraday equation.
Despite its historical origins in the original set of eight Maxwell's equations, the Lorentz force
is no longer considered to be one of "Maxwell's equations" as the term is currently used (that
is, as reformulated by Heaviside). It now sits adjacent to Maxwell's equations as a separate
and essential law.
Significance of the Lorentz force
While the modern Maxwell's equations describe how electrically charged particles and
objects give rise to electric and magnetic fields, the Lorentz force law completes that picture
by describing the force acting on a moving point charge q in the presence of electromagnetic
fields. The Lorentz force law describes the effect of E and B upon a point charge, but such
electromagnetic forces are not the entire picture. Charged particles are possibly coupled to
other forces, notably gravity and nuclear forces. Thus, Maxwell's equations do not stand
separate from other physical laws, but are coupled to them via the charge and current
densities. The response of a point charge to the Lorentz law is one aspect; the generation of
E and B by currents and charges is another.
In real materials the Lorentz force is inadequate to describe the behavior of charged
particles, both in principle and as a matter of computation. The charged particles in a
material medium both respond to the E and B fields and generate these fields. Complex
transport equations must be solved to determine the time and spatial response of charges,
for example, the Boltzmann equation or the FokkerPlanck equation or the Navier-Stokes
equations. For example, see magnetohydrodynamics, fluid dynamics, electrohydrodynamics,
superconductivity, stellar evolution. An entire physical apparatus for dealing with these
matters has developed. See for example, GreenKubo relations and Green's function
(many-body theory).
Although one might suggest that these theories are only approximations intended to deal
with large ensembles of "point particles", perhaps a deeper perspective is that the chargebearing particles may respond to forces like gravity, or nuclear forces, or boundary
conditions."

63 "...points of origin to establish age and duration."
"So far scientists have not found a way to determine the exact age of the Earth directly from
Earth rocks because Earth's oldest rocks have been recycled and destroyed by the process
of plate tectonics. If there are any of Earth's primordial rocks left in their original state, they
have not yet been found. Nevertheless, scientists have been able to determine the probable
age of the Solar System and to calculate an age for the Earth by assuming that the Earth
and the rest of the solid bodies in the Solar System formed at the same time and are,
therefore, of the same age.
The ages of Earth and Moon rocks and of meteorites are measured by the decay of longlived radioactive isotopes of elements that occur naturally in rocks and minerals and that
decay with half lives of 700 million to more than 100 billion years to stable isotopes of other
elements. These dating techniques, which are firmly grounded in physics and are known
collectively as radiometric dating, are used to measure the last time that the rock being
dated was either melted or disturbed sufficiently to rehomogenize its radioactive elements."

64 "... The physical universe itself is formed from the convergence and amalgamation
of many other individual universes..."
"A creation myth is a supernatural mytho-religious story or explanation that describes the
beginnings of humanity, earth, life, and the universe (cosmogony), usually as a deliberate
act of "creation" by a supreme being. Many accounts of creation share broadly similar
themes. Common motifs include the fractionation of the things of the world from a primordial
chaos; the separation of the mother and father gods; land emerging from an infinite and
timeless ocean; or creation ex nihilo (Latin: out of nothing)."

65 "... energy and forms can be created, but not destroyed..."
"In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in any
isolated system remains constant but cannot be recreated, although it may change forms,
e.g. friction turns kinetic energy into thermal energy. In thermodynamics, the first law of
thermodynamics is a statement of the conservation of energy for thermodynamic systems,
and is the more encompassing version of the conservation of energy. In short, the law of
conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be
changed from one form to another."

66 "... Tales of magic, sorcery and enchantment, fairy tales and mythology speak of
such things..."
Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is a conceptual system that asserts human ability to
control the natural world (including events, objects, people, and physical phenomena)
through mystical, paranormal or supernatural means. The term can also refer to the
practices employed by a person asserting this influence, and to beliefs that explain various
200
events and phenomena in such terms. In many cultures, magic is under pressure from, and
in competition with, scientific and religious conceptual systems.
Adherents to magic believe that it may work by one or more of the following basic principles:
• Natural forces that cannot be detected by science at present, and in fact may not
be detectable at all. These magical forces are said to exist in addition to and
alongside the four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the
strong force and the weak force.
• Intervention of spirits similar to these hypothetical natural forces, but with their
own consciousness and intelligence. Believers in spirits will often describe a whole
cosmos of beings of many different kinds, sometimes organized into a hierarchy.
Aleister Crowley preferred the spelling magick, defining it as "the science and art of causing
change to occur in conformity with the will." By this, he included "mundane" acts of will as
well as ritual magic. In Magick in Theory and Practice, Chapter XIV, Crowley says:
"What is a Magical Operation? It may be defined as any event in nature which is
brought to pass by Will. We must not exclude potato-growing or banking from our
definition. Let us take a very simple example of a Magical Act: that of a man blowing
his nose." "

67 "...they will capture other IS-BEs as slaves..."
"The word slave in the English language originates from the Middle English sclave, from the
Old French esclave, the Medieval Latin sclavus, the early Greek sklabos, from sklabenoi,
Slavs, of Slavic origin; akin to Old Russian Slovene, an East Slavic tribe. The term sclavus
originally referred to the Slavs of Eastern and Central Europe, as many of these people had
been captured and then sold as slaves by Otto the Great and his successors. The former
Latin word for "slave" was servus (cf. English serf).
The evidence for slavery predates written records. It can be found in almost all cultures and
continents. Slavery can be traced to the earliest records, such as the Code of Hammurabi in
Mesopotamia (~1800 BC), which refers to slavery as an already established institution. In
important exception occurred under the reign of the Achaemenid Empire in Persia in 500
BC. The forced labor of women in some ancient and modern cultures may also be identified
as slavery. Slavery, in this case, includes sexual services.
Historically, most slaves were captured in wars or kidnapped in isolated raids, but some
persons were sold into slavery by their parents, or by themselves, as a means of surviving
extreme conditions. Most slaves were born into that status, to parents who were enslaved.
Ancient Warfare often resulted in slavery for prisoners and their families, who were either
killed, ransomed or sold as slaves. Captives were often considered the property of those
who captured them and were looked upon as a prize of war. Slavery may originally have
been more humane than simply executing those who would return to fight if they were freed,
but the effect led to widespread enslavement of particular groups of people. Those captured
sometimes differed in ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race from their enslavers, but often
were the same as the captors. The dominant group in an area might take captives and turn
them into slaves with little fear of suffering the like fate. The possibility always existed of
201
reversals of fortune, as when Seneca warned, at the height of the Roman Empire, when
powerful nations fought among themselves, anyone might find himself enslaved."

68 "...asteroid belt..."
"The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of
the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called
asteroids or minor planets. More than half the mass within the main belt is contained in the
four largest objects: Ceres, 4 Vesta, 2 Pallas, and 10 Hygiea. All of these have mean
diameters of more than 400 km, while Ceres, the main belt's only dwarf planet, is about
950 km in diameter. The remaining bodies range down to the size of a dust particle. The
asteroid material is so thinly distributed that multiple unmanned spacecraft have traversed it
without incident."

Near Mizar is a star called Alcorr and together they are informally known as the Horse and
Rider. At magnitude 4.1, Alcor would normally be relatively easy to see with the unaided eye,
but its proximity to Mizar renders it more difficult to resolve, and it has served as a traditional
test of sight. In the 17th century, Mizar itself was discovered to be a binary star system —
202
the first telescopic binary found. The component stars are known as Mizar A and Mizar B. In
1889, Mizar A was discovered to in fact be a binary as well, the first spectroscopic binary
discovered, and with the subsequent discovery that Mizar B itself is also a binary, in total
Mizar currently is known to be at least a quadruple star system."

70 "... the body of the Archduke of Austria..."
"Franz Ferdinand (December 18, 1863 June 28, 1914) was an Archduke of Austria-Este,
Prince Imperial of Austria and Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia, and from 1896 until
his death, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo
precipitated the Austrian declaration of war. This caused countries allied with AustriaHungary (the Central Powers) and countries allied with Serbia (the Entente Powers) to
declare war on each other, starting World War I.
In 1889, Franz Ferdinand's life changed dramatically. His cousin Crown Prince Rudolf
committed suicide at his hunting lodge in Mayerling, leaving Franz Ferdinand's father,
Archduke Karl Ludwig, as first in line to the throne. However his father renounced his
succession rights a few days after the Crown Prince's death. Henceforth, Franz Ferdinand
was groomed to succeed.
On June 28, 1914, at approximately 11:15 am, Franz Ferdinand and his wife were killed in
Sarajevo, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian province of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by
Gavrilo Princip, a member of Young Bosnia and one of several (a few) assassins organized
by The Black Hand (Црна рука/Tsrna Ruka). The event, known as the Assassination in
Sarajevo, triggered World War I.
Franz and Sophie had previously been attacked when a bomb was thrown at their car. It
missed them, but many civilians were injured. Franz and Sophie both insisted on going to
see all those injured at the hospital. As a result of this, Princip saw them and shot Sophie in
the abdomen. Franz was shot in the jugular and was still alive when witnesses arrived to his
aid, but it was too late; he died within minutes.
The assassinations, along with the arms race, nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and the
alliance system all contributed to the beginning of World War I, which began less than two
months after Franz Ferdinand's death, with Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against
Serbia."

71 ..."force field"...
"Originally a term coined by Michael Faraday to provide an intuitive paradigm, but theoretical
construct, for the behavior of electromagnetic fields, the term force field refers to the
lines of force one object (the "source object") exerts on another object or a collection
of other objects. An object might be a mass particle or an electric or magnetic
charge, for example. The lines do not have to be straight, in the Euclidean geometry case,
but may be curved. Faraday called these theoretical connections between objects lines of
force because the objects are most directly connected to the source object along this line.
203
Examples of force fields:
• A local Newtonian gravitational field near Earth ground typically consists of a uniform
array of vectors pointing in one direction---downwards, towards the ground; its force
field is represented by the Cartesian vector , where points in a direction away from
the ground, and m refers to the mass, and g refers to the acceleration due to gravity.
• A global Gravitational field consists of a spherical array of vectors pointing towards
the center of gravity. Its classical force field, in spherical coordinates, is represented
by the vector, , which is just Newton's Law of Gravity, with the radial unit vector
pointing towards the origin of the sphere (center of the Earth).
• A conservative Electric field has an electric charge (or a smeared plum pudding of
electric charges) as its source object. In the case of the point charges, the force field
is represented by , where is the position vector that represents the straightest line
between the source charge and the other charge.
• A static Magnetic field has a magnetic charge (a magnetic monopole or a charge
distribution).
• The electromagnetic force is given by the Lorentz force formula, which in SI units is,

72 "Electroshock..."
"The story of electric shock began in 1938, when Italian psychiatrist Ugo Cerletti visited a
Rome slaughterhouse to see what could be learned from the method that was employed to
butcher hogs. In Cerletti's own words, "As soon as the hogs were clamped by the [electric]
tongs, they fell unconscious, stiffened, then after a few seconds they were shaken by
convulsions.... During this period of unconsciousness (epileptic coma), the butcher stabbed
and bled the animals without difficulty....
"At this point I felt we could venture to experiment on man, and I instructed my assistants to
be on the alert for the selection of a suitable subject."
Cerletti's first victim was provided by the local police - a man described by Cerletti as "lucid
and well-oriented." After surviving the first blast without losing consciousness, the victim
overheard Cerletti discussing a second application with a higher voltage. He begged Cerletti,
"Non una seconda! Mortifierel" ("Not another one! It will kill me!")
Ignoring the objections of his assistants, Cerletti increased the voltage and duration and fired
again. With the "successful" electrically induced convulsion of his victim, Ugo Cerletti
brought about the application of hog-slaughtering skills to humans, creating one of the most
brutal techniques of psychiatry.
*Electric shock is also called electro-convulsive "therapy" or treatment (ECT), electroshock
therapy or electric shock treatment (EST), electrostimulation, and electrolytic therapy (ELT).
All are euphemistic terms for the same process: sending a searing blast of electricity through
the brain in order to alter behavior." (Reference: http://www.sntp.net/ect/ect3.htm)
Today Electroshock therapy (ECT) is most often used as a treatment for severe major
depression which has not responded to other treatment, and is also used in the treatment of
mania, catatonia, schizophrenia and other disorders. It first gained widespread use as a form
204
of treatment in the 1940s and 50s. Today, an estimated 1 million people worldwide receive
ECT every year, usually in a course of 6-12 treatments administered 2 or 3 times a week.
Electroconvulsive therapy has "side-effects" which include confusion and memory loss for
events around the time period of treatment. ECT have been shown to cause persistent
memory loss. It is the effects of ECT on long-term memory that give rise to much of the
concern surrounding its use. The acute effects of ECT include amnesia.
Registered nurse Barbara C. Cody reports in a letter to the Washington Post that her life
"was forever changed by 13 outpatient ECTs I received in 1983. Shock 'therapy' totally and
permanently disabled me. "EEGs [electroencephalograms] verify the extensive damage
shock did to my brain. Fifteen to 20 years of my life were simply erased; only small bits
and pieces have returned. I was also left with short-term memory impairment and serious
cognitive deficits. "Shock 'therapy' took my past, my college education, my musical
abilities, even the knowledge that my children were, in fact, my children."
Ernest Hemingway, American author, committed suicide shortly after Electric Shock
treatment at the Menninger Clinic in 1961. He is reported to have said to his biographer,
"Well, what is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my
capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the
patient...."

73 "...electric voltage..."
"The general public may consider household mains circuits (100250 V AC), which carry the
highest voltages they normally encounter, to be high voltage. For example, an installer of
heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment may be licensed to install 24 Volt control
circuits, but may not be permitted to connect the 240 volt power circuits of the equipment.
Voltages over approximately 50 volts can usually cause dangerous amounts of
current to flow through a human being touching two points of a circuit.
Voltages of greater than 50 V are capable of producing heart fibrillation if they produce
electric currents in body tissues which happen to pass through the chest area. The
electrocution danger is mostly determined by the low conductivity of dry human skin. If skin
is wet, or if there are wounds, or if the voltage is applied to electrodes which penetrate the
skin, then even voltage sources below 40 V can be lethal if contacted."

74 "...Post hypnotic suggestions..."
"The ability of a human to be induced into a form of behavior or thinking pattern after coming
out of the hypnotic state. Post hypnotic suggestions are administered by the hypnotist
and may optionally include a time scope. An altered sense of perception or behavioral
pattern may be "programmed" into the person under hypnosis. Certain sequences of
events may be set as triggers to enter or exit the post-hypnotic pattern. The behavior
patterns resemble conditioned reflexes, though administered without classical behavior
alteration techniques.
205
Examples:
Any number, color, object, etc. may be induced to be ignored by the patient after full
consciousness. A certain keyword starts the suggestion and a different word ends it. The
patient will not know nor use the item to be ignored. He/she may state that the sea is
colored red, if suggested to ignore the color blue. A count of eleven may be achieved if
asked to count ones fingers if a number -say 5- is suggested to be ignored. Thus the patient
counts 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-9-10-11
Different type of behavior patterns may be induced such as forcing the patient to recite a
certain sentence whenever anyone says out loud the special keyword. The patient is
fully aware of the conditioned action but it is very difficult, if not impossible, to restrain from
doing it. Sweating, loss of coordination and full lack of concentration plagues the
patient until he/she performs the programmed action.
An object may be set to be perceived as invisible and it will be fully ignored and evaded
during the period of suggestion. Experiments may be performed with a coffee mug, induced
to be invisible. If the mug is put on top of a page with writing, the patient will only read the
parts not covered by the mug. Even though the sentences may make no sense, nothing is
seemingly wrong to the suspected. It is difficult to suggest an object be invisible, yet stay
tactile. Usually the object is completely ignored by all senses. Thus, the mug in the
example will reportedly not exist, even when the patient is touching it.
Stage hypnotists will sometimes perform shows in which they hypnotize participants to think
they are some celebrity and behave exactly like them. John Mohl, stage hypnotist and
member of The National Guild of Hypnotists, says that he has often hypnotized people to
become someone else! Mohl noticed that adults often became a celebrity while Middle or
High School students usually become something much more creative or imaginative."

75 "... Untouchables..."
"In the Indian caste system, a Dalit, often called an untouchable, or an outcaste, is a
person who according to traditional Hindu belief does not have any "varnas". Varna refers to
the Hindu belief that most humans were supposedly created from different parts of the body
of the divinity Purusha. The part from which a varna was supposedly created defines a
person's social status with regard to issues such as whom they may marry and which
professions they may hold. Dalits fall outside the varnas system and have historically been
prevented from doing any but the most menial jobs. (However, a distinction must be made
between lower-caste people and Pariahs.) Included are leather-workers (called chamar),
carcass handlers (called mahar),poor farmers and landless labourers, night soil scavengers
(called bhangi or chura), street handicrafters, folk artists, street cleaners, dhobi, etc.
Traditionally, they were treated as pariahs in South Asian society and isolated in their own
communities, to the point that even their shadows were avoided by the upper castes.
Discrimination against Dalits still exists in rural areas in the private sphere, in ritual matters
such as access to eating places and water sources. It has largely disappeared, however, in
urban areas and in the public sphere, in rights of movement and access to schools. The
earliest rejection of discrimination, at least in spiritual matters, was made as far back as the
206
Bhagavada Gita, which says that no person, no matter what, is barred from enlightenment
There are an estimated 160 million Dalits in India."
Reference: Wikipedia.org
"Human rights abuses against these people, known as Dalits, are legion. A random sampling
of headlines in mainstream Indian newspapers tells their story: "Dalit boy beaten to death for
plucking flowers"; "Dalit tortured by cops for three days"; "Dalit 'witch' paraded naked in
Bihar"; "Dalit killed in lock-up at Kurnool"; "7 Dalits burnt alive in caste clash"; "5 Dalits
lynched in Haryana"; "Dalit woman gang-raped, paraded naked"; "Police egged on mob to
lynch Dalits".
"Dalits are not allowed to drink from the same wells, attend the same temples, wear shoes in
the presence of an upper caste, or drink from the same cups in tea stalls," said Smita
Narula, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch, and author of Broken People: Caste
Violence Against India's "Untouchables." Human Rights Watch is a worldwide activist
organization based in New York. India's Untouchables are relegated to the lowest jobs, and
live in constant fear of being publicly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped with
impunity by upper-caste Hindus seeking to keep them in their place. Merely walking through
an upper-caste neighborhood is a life-threatening offense. Nearly 90 percent of all the poor
Indians and 95 percent of all the illiterate Indians are Dalits."

76 "...political prisoners..."
"A political prisoner is someone held in prison or otherwise detained, perhaps under house
arrest, for his/her involvement in political activity.
political prisoners are arrested and tried with a veneer of legality, where false criminal
charges, manufactured evidence, and unfair trials are used to disguise the fact that an
individual is a political prisoner. This is common in situations which may otherwise be
decried nationally and internationally as a human rights violation and suppression of a
political dissident. A political prisoner can also be someone that has been denied bail
unfairly, denied parole when it would reasonably have been given to a prisoner charged with
a comparable crime, or special powers may be invoked by the judiciary.
Particularly in this latter situation, whether an individual is regarded as a political prisoner
may depend upon subjective political perspective or interpretation of the evidence.
Governments typically reject assertions that they hold political prisoners.
Examples:
In the Soviet Union, dubious psychiatric diagnoses were sometimes used to confine
political prisoners. In Nazi Germany, "Night and Fog" prisoners were among the first victims
of fascist repression. In North Korea, entire families are jailed if one family member is
suspected of anti-government sentiments."

entrances where primitive life forms “past or present microbial life” could have been
sheltered, and where water could exist in liquid form.
A more detailed perusal of the report reveals that the spacecraft actually photographed, in
both visual and infrared, puzzling dark circular structures associated with these caves -
structures ranging in size from 100 to 250 meters (330 to 825 feet). Picking up the hardlynoticed story in its June 2007 issue, the prestigious journal Scientific American has now
provided additional information: Seven such “football size” caverns were identified; they are
425 feet deep. "

79 "... mind control..."
"Mind control (or "brainwashing") refers to a broad range of psychological tactics able to
subvert an individual's control of his own thinking, behavior, emotions, or decisions. The
concept is closely related to hypnosis, but differs in practical approach.
William Sargant connected Pavlovs findings (the Russian researcher who experimented on
stimulus-response mechanism with dogs) to the ways people learned and internalized belief
systems. Conditioned behavior patterns could be changed by stimulated stresses beyond a
dogs capacity for response, in essence causing a breakdown. This could also be caused by
intense signals, longer than normal waiting periods, rotating positive and negative signals
and changing a dogs physical condition, as through illness. Depending on the dogs initial
personality, this could possibly cause a new belief system to be held tenaciously. Sargant
also connected Pavlovs findings to the mechanisms of brain-washing....
"Though men are not dogs, they should humbly try to remember how much they
resemble dogs in their brain functions, and not boast themselves as demigods. They
are gifted with religious and social apprehensions, and they are gifted with the power
of reason; but all these faculties are physiologically entailed to the brain. Therefore
the brain should not be abused by having forced upon it any religious or political
mystique that stunts the reason, or any form of crude rationalism that stunts the
religious sense." (p. 274)
Psychologist Margaret Singer describes six conditions which would create an
atmosphere in which thought reform is possible. Singer states that these conditions
involve no need for physical coercion or violence.
• Keep the victim unaware of what is going on and how he is being changed a step at
a time.
209
• Control the victim's social and/or physical environment; especially control the
victim's time.
• Systematically create a sense of powerlessness in the victim. This is accomplished
by getting victims away from their normal social support group for a period of time
and into an environment where the majority of people are already group members.
o The victims serve as models of the attitudes and behaviors of the group and
speak an in-group language.
o Strip victims of their main occupation (quit jobs, drop out of school) or
source of income or have them turn over their income (or the majority of) to
the group.
o Once stripped of your usual support network, your confidence in your own
perception erodes.
o As your sense of powerlessness increases, your good judgment and
understanding of the world are diminished. (ordinary view of reality is
destabilized)
o As group attacks your previous worldview, it causes you distress and inner
confusion; yet you are not allowed to speak about this confusion or object to
it -- leadership suppresses questions and counters resistance.
o This process is sped up if you are kept tired.
• Manipulate a system of rewards, punishments and experiences in such a way as to
inhibit behavior that reflects the victim's former social identity.
o Manipulation of experiences can be accomplished through various methods
of trance induction, including leaders using such techniques as paced
speaking patterns, guided imagery, chanting, long prayer sessions or
lectures, and lengthy meditation sessions.
o Your old beliefs and patterns of behavior are defined as irrelevant or evil.
Leadership wants these old patterns eliminated, so the victims must
suppress them.
o Victims get positive feedback for conforming to the group's beliefs and
behaviors and negative feedback for old beliefs and behavior.
• Manipulate a system of rewards, punishments, and experiences in order to promote
learning the group's ideology or belief system and group-approved behaviors.
o Good behavior, demonstrating an understanding and acceptance of the
group's beliefs, and compliance are rewarded while questioning, expressing
doubts or criticizing are met with disapproval, redress and possible rejection.
If one expresses a question, he or she is made to feel that there is
something inherently wrong with them to be questioning.
o The only feedback victims get is from the group, they become totally
dependent upon the rewards given by those who control the environment.
o Victims must learn varying amounts of new information about the beliefs of
the group and the behaviors expected by the group.
o The more complicated and filled with contradictions the new system is and
the more difficult it is to learn, the more effective the conversion process will
be.
o Esteem and affection from peers is very important to new recruits. Approval
comes from having the new victim's behaviors and thought patterns conform
to the models (victims). Victims' relationship with peers is threatened
whenever they fail to learn or display new behaviors. Over time, the easy
solution to the insecurity generated by the difficulties of learning the new
system is to inhibit any display of doubts -- new recruits simply acquiesce,
affirm and act as if they do understand and accept the new ideology.
210
• Put forth a closed system of logic and an authoritarian structure that permits no
feedback and refuses to be modified except by leadership approval or executive
order.
o The group has a top-down, pyramid structure. The leaders must have verbal
ways of never losing.
o Victims are not allowed to question, criticize or complain -- if they do, the
leaders allege that the victim is defective -- not the organization or the
beliefs.
o The individual is always wrong -- the system, its leaders and its belief are
always right.
o Remolding of the individual victim happens in a closed system. As victims
learn to modify their behavior in order to be accepted in this closed system,
they change -- begin to speak the language -- which serves to further isolate
them from their prior beliefs and behaviors."
Social psychology tactics
A contemporary view of mind control sees it as an intensified and persistent use of well
researched social psychology principles like compliance, conformity, persuasion,
dissonance, reactance, framing or emotional manipulation.
One of the most notable proponents of such theories is social psychologist Philip Zimbardo,
former president of the American Psychological Association:
"I conceive of mind control as a phenomena encompassing all the ways in
which personal, social and institutional forces are exerted to induce
compliance, conformity, belief, attitude, and value change in others.
"Mind control is the process by which individual or collective freedom of
choice and action is compromised by agents or agencies that modify or
distort perception, motivation, affect, cognition and/or behavioral outcomes. It
is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic
social psychological principles."
In Influence, Science and Practice, social psychologist Robert Cialdini argues that mind
control is possible through the covert exploitation of the unconscious rules that
underlie and facilitate healthy human social interactions. He states that common social rules
can be used to prey upon the unwary, and he titles them as follows:
• "Reciprocation: The Old Give and Take...and Take"
• "Commitment and Consistency: Hobgoblins of the Mind"
• "Social Proof: Truths Are Us"
• "Liking: The Friendly Thief"
• "Authority: Directed Deference"
• "Scarcity: The Rule of the Few"
Using these six broad categories, he offers specific examples of both mild and extreme mind
control (both one on one and in groups), notes the conditions under which each social rule is
most easily exploited for false ends, and offers suggestions on how to resist such methods."

80 "... remote thought control..."
EDITOR'S NOTE: If "hypersonic sound" (see reference below) can already be used
on Earth, which has been using electricity for only 150 years, imagine a technology
that has been refined over millions of years, that could transmit thoughts that are
precisely targeted to an individual person across millions of miles of space.
"The lunatic is in my head," sang Pink Floyd on their landmark "Dark Side of the Moon"
album released 35 years ago. "There's someone in my head but it's not me."
In 2008, there is a chance that the voice inside your head may be trying to sell you
something. Advertisers are using a new acoustic technology to project advertising slogans
directly into your head. And not everyone is happy about the aural intrusion.
In fact, the space between your ears may be the newest battleground in the conflict
between privacy and technology. The technique is called hypersonic sound and it was
created by inventor Woody Norris. Hypersonic sound (HSS) projection enables sound to
be directed precisely to one individual without any spillover.
In tandem with an ultrasonic emitter and a signal processor/amplifier, HSS projects a column
of modulated ultrasonic frequencies into the air. The ultrasonic frequencies are inaudible by
themselves, but the interaction of the frequencies with the air create sounds that can be
heard by anyone inside the column. Hypersonic sound can direct sound as precisely as a
laser beam can direct light.
One only needs to be standing in the path of an HSS beam in order to hear the sound.
However, the sensation to those hearing is that the sound is being projected from inside their
skull.
Pretty cool, thinks inventor Norris. Or pretty creepy if you don't know what's going on. It is
already being done from a billboard on Prince Street in New York City.
Advertising for a television show called "Paranormal State," which airs on the Arts and
Entertainment Network (A&E), has been sent through HSS to unsuspecting pedestrians who
trigger a sensor as they stroll by. The sound that is emitted can be heard only by them.
Science and technology writer Clive Thompson, has written about the Prince Street billboard
for Wired magazine. He experienced HSS himself, writing that it felt "creepy" to hear a
woman's voice whisper, "Who's there? Who's there?"
It used to be that we could at least be guaranteed privacy in the space between our ears.
That is no longer true, thanks to the invention of "in-head advertising."
The freedom to think our own thoughts without artificial manipulation from outside
sources may be our latest civil rights battle."

81 "... the remote mind-control operation..."
212
"One of the earliest examples of remote control was developed in 1893 by Nikola Tesla,
and described in his patent, U.S. Patent 613,809 , named "Method of an Apparatus for
Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles".
"In 1903, Leonardo Torres Quevedo presented the Telekino at the Paris Academy of
Science, accompanied by a brief, and making an experimental demonstration. In the same
year, he obtained a patent in France, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States. The
Telekino consisted of a robot that executed commands transmitted by electromagnetic
waves. It constituted the world's first apparatus for radio control and was a pioneer in the
field of remote control. In 1906, in the presence of the king and before a great crowd, Torres
successfully demonstrated the invention in the port of Bilbao, guiding a boat from the shore.
Later, he would try to apply the Telekino to projectiles and torpedoes, but had to abandon
the project for lack of financing.
The first remote-controlled model airplane flew in 1932, and the use of remote control
technology for military purposes was worked intensively during the Second World War,
one result of this being the German Wasserfall missile."
Remote control technology is also used in space travel, for instance the Russian
Lunokhod vehicles were remote-controlled from the ground. Direct remote control of
space vehicles at greater distances from the earth is not practical due to increasing signal
delay times."

82 "... mind control..."
Editor's Note: The most famously publicized evidence of the use of mind-control
operations is the CIA project, "MK-ULTRA":
"Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and
chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence, that
began in the early 1950s and continued at least through the late 1960s. There is much
published evidence that the project involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as
well as other methodology, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.
Project MK-ULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress,
through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known
as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA
Director Richard Helms ordered all MK-ULTRA files destroyed in 1973.
Although the CIA insists that MK-ULTRA-type experiments have been abandoned, 14-year
CIA veteran Victor Marchetti has stated in various interviews that the CIA routinely conducts
disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research continued. In a 1977 interview,
Marchetti specifically called the CIA claim that MK-ULTRA was abandoned a 'cover story.'.
On the Senate floor in 1977, Senator Ted Kennedy said:
The Deputy Director of the CIA revealed that over thirty universities and institutions were
involved in an 'extensive testing and experimentation' program which included covert drug
213
tests on unwitting citizens 'at all social levels, high and low, native Americans and foreign.'
Several of these tests involved the administration of LSD to 'unwitting subjects in social
situations.' At least one death, that of Dr. [Frank] Olson, resulted from these activities. The
Agency itself acknowledged that these tests made little scientific sense. The agents doing
the monitoring were not qualified scientific observers.
A precursor of the MK-ULTRA program began in 1945 when the Joint Intelligence Objectives
Agency was established and given direct responsibility for Operation Paperclip. Operation
Paperclip was a program to recruit former Nazi spies, scientists and experts in torture
and brain washing, some of whom had just been identified and prosecuted as war criminals
during the Nuremberg Trials.
Several secret U.S. government projects grew out of Operation Paperclip. These projects
included Project CHATTER (established 1947), and Project BLUEBIRD (established 1950),
which was later renamed to Project ARTICHOKE in 1951. Their purpose was to study mindcontrol, interrogation, behavior modification and related topics.
Headed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the MK-ULTRA project was started on the order of CIA
director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953, largely in response to Soviet, Chinese, and North
Korean use of mind-control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war in Korea. The CIA wanted to
use similar methods on their own captives. The CIA was also interested in being able to
manipulate foreign leaders with such techniques, and would later invent several schemes to
drug Fidel Castro.
Experiments were often conducted without the subjects' knowledge or consent. In some
cases, academic researchers being funded through grants from CIA front organizations were
unaware that their work was being used for these purposes.
In 1964, the project was renamed MK-SEARCH. The project attempted to produce a perfect
truth drug for use in interrogating suspected Soviet spies during the Cold War, and
generally to explore any other possibilities of mind control.
An MK-ULTRA program tagged "Operation Teapot" involved the testing of pregnant women
with radiation, among other things. Also under this program, U.S. army soldiers were dosed
with LSD to study the effects of panic.
Another MK-ULTRA effort, Subproject 54, was the Navy's top secret "Perfect Concussion"
program, which used sub aural frequency blasts to erase memory. During this program
LSD's corollary effect on controlled and channeled mass panic was discovered.
MK-ULTRA head Sidney Gottlieb was involved with both Operation Teapot and Subproject
54. The U.S. government officially denied involvement until 1995 when an official apology
was issued to the pregnant women and to the affected U.S. army soldiers. However no
apologies were offered to the affected U.S. Navy soldiers or to a group of Oregon prison
inmates, whose testicles were irradiated without their knowledge. Compensation for medical
treatment resulting from these experiments has been disputed and remains tied up in
arbitration more than 40 years after the fact. Since 1995, most of the associated files have
been reclassified as Top Secret.
214
Because most MK-ULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1973 by order of then CIA
Director Richard Helms, it has been difficult, if not impossible, for investigators to gain a
complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research sub-projects
sponsored by MK Ultra and related CIA programs.
Aims
The Agency poured millions of dollars into studies probing dozens of methods of
influencing and controlling the mind. One 1955 MK-ULTRA document gives an indication
of the size and range of the effort; this document refers to the study of an assortment of
mind-altering substances described as follows:
1. Substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point
where the recipient would be discredited in public.
2. Substances which increase the efficiency of mentation and perception.
3. Materials which will prevent or counteract the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
4. Materials which will promote the intoxicating effect of alcohol.
5. Materials which will produce the signs and symptoms of recognized diseases in a
reversible way so that they may be used for malingering, etc.
6. Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise
enhance its usefulness.
7. Substances which will enhance the ability of individuals to withstand privation,
torture and coercion during interrogation and so-called "brain-washing".
8. Materials and physical methods which will produce amnesia for events preceding
and during their use.
9. Physical methods of producing shock and confusion over extended periods of time
and capable of surreptitious use.
10. Substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute
anemia, etc.
11. Substances which will produce "pure" euphoria with no subsequent let-down.
12. Substances which alter personality structure in such a way that the tendency of the
recipient to become dependent upon another person is enhanced.
13. A material which will cause mental confusion of such a type that the individual under
its influence will find it difficult to maintain a fabrication under questioning.
14. Substances which will lower the ambition and general working efficiency of men
when administered in undetectable amounts.
15. Substances which promote weakness or distortion of the eyesight or hearing
faculties, preferably without permanent effects.
16. A knockout pill which can surreptitiously be administered in drinks, food, cigarettes,
as an aerosol, etc., which will be safe to use, provide a maximum of amnesia, and
be suitable for use by agent types on an ad hoc basis.
17. A material which can be surreptitiously administered by the above routes and which
in very small amounts will make it impossible for a man to perform any physical
activity whatsoever.
Historians have learned that creating a "Manchurian Candidate" subject through
"mind control" techniques was undoubtedly a goal of MK-ULTRA and related CIA
projects.
215
Budget
A secretive arrangement granted a percentage of the CIA budget. The MK-ULTRA
director was granted six percent of the CIA operating budget in 1953, without oversight or
accounting.
Experiments
CIA documents suggest that "chemical, biological and radiological" means were investigated
for the purpose of mind control as part of MK-ULTRA.
Drugs
LSD
Early efforts focused on LSD, which later came to dominate many of MK-ULTRA's programs.
Experiments included administering LSD to CIA employees, military personnel, doctors,
other government agents, prostitutes, mentally ill patients, and members of the general
public in order to study their reactions. LSD and other drugs were usually administered
without the subject's knowledge and informed consent, a violation of the Nuremberg Code
that the U.S. agreed to follow after WWII.
Efforts to "recruit" subjects were often illegal, even discounting the fact that drugs were being
administered (though actual use of LSD, for example, was legal in the United States until
October 6, 1966). In Operation Midnight Climax, the CIA set up several brothels to obtain a
selection of men who would be too embarrassed to talk about the events. The men were
dosed with LSD, and the brothels were equipped with one-way mirrors and the "sessions"
were filmed for later viewing and study.
Some subjects' participation was consensual, and in many of these cases, the subjects
appeared to be singled out for even more extreme experiments. In one case, volunteers
were given LSD for 77 consecutive days.
LSD was eventually dismissed by MK-ULTRA's researchers as too unpredictable in its
effects. Although useful information was sometimes obtained through questioning subjects
on LSD, not uncommonly the most marked effect would be the subject's absolute and utter
certainty that they were able to withstand any form of interrogation attempt, even physical
torture.
Other drugs
Another technique investigated was connecting a barbiturate IV into one arm and an
amphetamine IV into the other. The barbiturates were released into the subject first, and as
soon as the subject began to fall asleep, the amphetamines were released. The subject
would begin babbling incoherently at this point, and it was sometimes possible to ask
questions and get useful answers.
Other experiments involved heroin, morphine, temazepam (used under code name MKSEARCH), mescaline, psilocybin, scopolamine, marijuana, alcohol, and sodium pentothal.

Hypnosis
Declassified MK-ULTRA documents indicate hypnosis was studied in the early 1950s.
Experimental goals included: the creation of "hypnotically induced anxieties," "hypnotically
increasing ability to learn and recall complex written matter," studying hypnosis and
polygraph examinations, "hypnotically increasing ability to observe and recall complex
arrangements of physical objects," and studying "relationship of personality to susceptibility
to hypnosis."
Canadian experiments
The experiments were exported to Canada when the CIA recruited Scottish psychiatrist
Donald Ewen Cameron, creator of the "psychic driving" concept, which the CIA found
particularly interesting. Cameron had been hoping to correct schizophrenia by erasing
existing memories and completely rebuilding the psyche. He commuted from Albany, New
York to Montreal every week to work at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University and
was paid $69,000 from 1957 to 1964 to carry out MKULTRA experiments there.
In addition to LSD, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs as well as
electroconvulsive therapy at thirty to forty times the normal power. His "driving"
experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced coma for weeks at a time (up to
three months in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements.
His experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor
problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum depression, many of whom suffered
permanently from his actions. His treatments resulted in victims' incontinence, amnesia,
forgetting how to talk, forgetting their parents, and thinking their interrogators were their
parents. His work was inspired and paralleled by the British psychiatrist Dr William Sargant
at St Thomas' Hospital, London, and Belmont Hospital, Surrey, who also experimented
extensively and very damagingly on his patients without their consent and was equally
involved with the Intelligence Services.
It was during this era that Cameron became known worldwide as the first chairman of
the World Psychiatric Association as well as president of the American and Canadian
psychiatric associations. Cameron had also been a member of the Nuremberg medical
tribunal only a decade earlier.
Revelation
In 1973, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MK-ULTRA files destroyed. Pursuant to
this order, most CIA documents regarding the project were destroyed, making a full
investigation of MK-ULTRA all but impossible.
In December 1974, The New York Times reported that the CIA had conducted illegal
domestic activities, including experiments on U.S. citizens, during the 1960s. That report
prompted investigations by the U.S. Congress, in the form of the Church Committee, and by
a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission that looked into domestic
activities of the CIA, the FBI, and intelligence-related agencies of the military.
In the summer of 1975, congressional Church Committee reports and the presidential
Rockefeller Commission report revealed to the public for the first time that the CIA
and the Department of Defense had conducted experiments on both unwitting and
217
cognizant human subjects as part of an extensive program to influence and control
human behavior through the use of psychoactive drugs such as LSD and mescaline
and other chemical, biological, and psychological means. They also revealed that at
least one subject had died after administration of LSD.
The congressional committee investigating the CIA research, chaired by Senator Frank
Church, concluded that "[p]rior consent was obviously not obtained from any of the
subjects". The committee noted that the "experiments sponsored by these researchers ...
call into question the decision by the agencies not to fix guidelines for experiments."
In Canada, the issue took much longer to surface, becoming widely known in 1984 on a
CBC news show, The Fifth Estate. It was learned that not only had the CIA funded Dr.
Cameron's efforts, but perhaps even more shockingly, the Canadian government was
fully aware of this, and had later provided another $500,000 in funding to continue the
experiments. This revelation largely derailed efforts by the victims to sue the CIA as their
U.S. counterparts had, and the Canadian government eventually settled out of court for
$100,000 to each of the 127 victims.
U.S. General Accounting Office Report
The U.S. General Accounting Office issued a report on September 28, 1994, which stated
that between 1940 and 1974, DOD and other national security agencies studied thousands
of human subjects in tests and experiments involving hazardous substances.
The quote from the study:
... Working with the CIA, the Department of Defense gave hallucinogenic drugs to thousands
of "volunteer" soldiers in the 1950's and 1960's. In addition to LSD, the Army also tested
quinuclidinyl benzilate, a hallucinogen code-named BZ. Many of these tests were conducted
under the so-called MKULTRA program, established to counter perceived Soviet and
Chinese advances in brainwashing techniques. Between 1953 and 1964, the program
consisted of 149 projects involving drug testing and other studies on unwitting human
subjects...
Extent of participation
44 American colleges or universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or pharmaceutical
companies and the like, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated with
universities), and 3 prisons are known to have participated in MKULTRA.
Famous subjects
Considerable evidence supports the contention that Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski
participated in CIA-sponsored MK-ULTRA experiments conducted at Harvard University by
Henry A. Murray, a professor in Social Relations, from the fall of 1959 through the spring of
1962. Kaczynski was a precocious, though impressionable, sixteen-year-old when he began
his participation; his assigned code name was "Lawful." He emerged, years later, as a
terrorist and has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
"Merry Prankster" Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, volunteered for
MK-ULTRA experiments while a student at Stanford University. Kesey's ingestion of LSD
218
during these experiments led directly to his widespread promotion of the drug and the
subsequent development of hippie culture."

83 ..."Dark Ages"...
"It is generally accepted that the concept (Dark Ages)was created by Petrarch in the 1330s.
Writing of those who had come before him, he said, "Amidst the errors there shone forth
men of genius, no less keen were their eyes, although they were surrounded by darkness
and dense gloom." Christian writers had traditional metaphors of "light versus darkness" to
describe "good versus evil". Petrarch was the first to co-opt the metaphor and give it secular
meaning by reversing its application. Classical Antiquity, so long considered the "dark" age
for its lack of Christianity, was now seen by Petrarch as the age of "light" because of its
cultural achievements, while Petrarch's time, lacking such cultural achievements, was seen
as the age of darkness.
As an Italian, Petrarch saw the Roman Empire and the classical period as expressions of
Italian greatness. He spent much of his time traveling through Europe rediscovering and
republishing the classic Latin and Greek texts. He wanted to restore the classical Latin
language to its former purity. Humanists saw the preceding 900-year period as a time of
stagnation. They saw history unfolding, not along the religious outline of St. Augustine's Six
Ages of the World, but in cultural (or secular) terms through the progressive developments of
classical ideals, literature, and art.
Petrarch wrote that history had had two periods: the classic period of the Greeks and
Romans, followed by a time of darkness, in which he saw himself as still living. Humanists
believed one day the Roman Empire would rise again and restore classic cultural purity, and
so by the late 14th and early 15th century, humanists such as Leonardo Bruni believed they
had attained this new age, and that a third, Modern Age had begun. The age before their
own, which Petrarch had labeled dark, thus became a "middle" age between the classic and
the modern."

84 "... the basic laws of physics..."
"The early modern period is seen as a flowering of the Renaissance, in what is often known
as the "Scientific Revolution", viewed as a foundation of modern science. Historians like
Howard Margolis hold that the Scientific Revolution began in 1543, when Nicolaus
Copernicus received the first copy of his De Revolutionibus, printed in Nuremberg
(Nürnberg) by Johannes Petreius. Most of its contents had been written years prior, but the
publication had been delayed. Copernicus died soon after receiving the copy.
Further significant advances were made over the following century by Galileo Galilei,
Christiaan Huygens, Johannes Kepler, and Blaise Pascal. During the early seventeenth
century, Galileo made extensive use of experimentation to validate physical theories, which
is the key idea in the modern scientific method. Galileo formulated and successfully tested
several results in dynamics, in particular the Law of Inertia. In Galileo's Two New Sciences,
a dialogue between the characters Simplicio and Salviati discuss the motion of a ship (as a
moving frame) and how that ship's cargo is indifferent to its motion. Huygens used the
motion of a boat along a Dutch canal to illustrate an early form of the conservation of
momentum.
219
The scientific revolution is considered to have culminated with the publication of the
Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687 by the mathematician, physicist,
alchemist and inventor Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727). In 1687, Newton published the
Principia, detailing two comprehensive and successful physical theories: Newton's laws of
motion, from which arise classical mechanics; and Newton's Law of Gravitation, which
describes the fundamental force of gravity. Both theories agreed well with experiment. The
Principia also included several theories in fluid dynamics.
After Newton defined classical mechanics, the next great field of inquiry within physics was
the nature of electricity."

85 "...electricity..."
"Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for over two millennia until
1600, when the English physician William Gilbert made a careful study of electricity and
magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing
amber. He coined the New Latin word electricus ("of amber" or "like amber", from ηλεκτρον
[elektron], the Greek word for "amber") to refer to the property of attracting small objects
after being rubbed. This association gave rise to the English words "electric" and "electricity",
which made their first appearance in print in Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica of
1646.
Further work was conducted by Otto von Guericke, Robert Boyle, Stephen Gray and C. F.
du Fay. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin conducted extensive research in electricity,
selling his possessions to fund his work. In June 1752 he is reputed to have attached a
metal key to the bottom of a dampened kite string and flown the kite in a storm-threatened
sky. He observed a succession of sparks jumping from the key to the back of his hand,
showing that lightning was indeed electrical in nature.
In 1791 Luigi Galvani published his discovery of bioelectricity, demonstrating that electricity
was the medium by which nerve cells passed signals to the muscles. Alessandro Volta's
battery, or voltaic pile, of 1800, made from alternating layers of zinc and copper, provided
scientists with a more reliable source of electrical energy than the electrostatic machines
previously used. André-Marie Ampère discovered the relationship between electricity and
magnetism in 1820; Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm
mathematically analyzed the electrical circuit in 1827.
While it had been the early nineteenth century that had seen rapid progress in electrical
science, the late nineteenth century would see the greatest progress in electrical
engineering. Through such people as Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse,
Ernst Werner von Siemens, Alexander Graham Bell and Lord Kelvin, electricity was turned
from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life, becoming a driving force for
the Second Industrial Revolution."

86 "... Sir Isaac Newton..."
"Sir Isaac Newton (4 January 1643 31 March 1727) was an English physicist,
mathematician, astronomer, theologian, natural philosopher, and alchemist. His treatise
220
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica was published in 1687, and said to be the
greatest single work in the history of science, described universal gravitation and the
three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated
the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries and is the basis
for modern engineering. He showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial
bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency
between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing
the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution.
In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and
angular momentum. In optics, he invented the reflecting telescope and developed a
theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into a
visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of
sound.
In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the
calculus. He also demonstrated the generalized binomial theorem, developed the socalled "Newton's method" for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to
the study of power series.
In a 2005 poll of the Royal Society of who had the greatest effect on the history of
science, Newton was deemed much more influential than Albert Einstein."

87 "...between lifetimes."
"Dr. Carl Sagan was a noted scientist, teacher and skeptic. Sagan was a founding member
of a group that set out to debunk unscientific claims, and wrote the book The DemonHaunted World in which he said that there were several areas in parapsychology which
deserved serious study:
"At the time of writing there are three claims in the ESP field which, in my opinion,
deserve serious study: (1) that by thought alone humans can (barely) affect random
number generators in computers; (2) that people under mild sensory deprivation can receive
thoughts or images "projected" at them; and (3) that young children sometimes report the
details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they
could not have known about in any way other than reincarnation. I pick these claims
not because I think they're likely to be valid (I don't), but as examples of contentions
that might be true."
"University of Virginia psychiatrists Dr. Jim Tucker and Professor Ian Stevenson have
published books and peer-reviewed research papers about their work in examining cases of
early childhood past life memories and birthmarks. The most detailed collections of personal
reports in favor of reincarnation have been published by Professor Ian Stevenson, in books
such as Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation.
Stevenson has spent over 40 years devoted to the study of children who have spoken about
past lives. In each case, Stevenson methodically documents the child's statements. Then,
he identifies the deceased person the child allegedly identifies with, and verifies the facts of
the deceased person's life that match the child's memory. Stevenson believes that his
meticulous methods rule out all possible "normal" explanations for the childs
221
memories. However, it should be noted that a significant proportion of the University of
Virginia's reported cases of reincarnation originate in Eastern societies, where dominant
religions often permit the concept of reincarnation. In India — where this phenomenon is
quite common — if a child from a poor family claims to be the reincarnated person from a
rich family, this can lead to the child to be adopted by that family, a motive that has led to
children making fraudulent reincarnation claims.
Stevenson has said about the 2500 cases of children who appeared to remember past lives,
which he and his associates investigated:
"My conclusion so far is that reincarnation is not the only explanation for these cases, but
that it is the best explanation we have for the stronger cases, by which I mean those in
which a child makes a considerable number (say 20 or 30) of correct statements about
another person who lives in a family that lives quite remote from his own and with which his
family has had no prior contacts. When we talk about remoteness, we don't necessarily just
mean physical distance. We know that two families can live only 10 kilometers apart and yet
they can be very remote because they belong to different economic and social classes."
Professor Stevenson has also matched birthmarks and birth defects to wounds and
scars on the deceased, verified by medical records such as autopsy photographs.
Stevenson's research into birthmarks and congenital defects has particular importance for
the demonstration of reincarnation, since it furnishes objective and graphic evidence of
reincarnation, superior to the (often fragmentary) memories and reports of the children and
adults questioned, which even if verified afterwards probably cannot be assigned the same."

88 "... lost civilizations of Atlantis..."
The following website has most of the popular information about Atlantis:
http://www.lost-civilizations.net/atlantis.html
89 "... and Lemuria..."
"The rise and fall of the Lemurian civilization cannot be accurately documented, though
many have gone in quest of this mythological continent. Lost civilizations have been known
to rise and fall - or just appear and disappear without explanation. As with Atlantis one can
only speculate as to what happened, based on archaeological evidence, legends, theories
pieced together by researchers, and for some, metaphysical channelings.
The exact location of Lemuria varies with different researchers and authors, though it is part
of the mysteries of the Pacific region flowing into the American continent, just as Atlantis is
linked to the Atlantic land areas that stretch to the Mediterranean Sea. Wherever you believe
the location of Lemuria to be, it is linked with the Ring of Fire. This area has become active
with a Tsunami in December 26, 2004, powerful earthquakes and volcanoes that continue,
after being dormant for many years. It would seem that the legends of ancient Lemuria
speak to us once again with warning signs - as they supposedly did to the Lemurians -
before the continent - or group of islands - fell into the sea.
222
The fate of Lemuria, also known as Pacifica, Mu, and what Cayce called Zu or Oz, is not
unlike that proposed for Atlantis. It is much like the destiny of humanity foreseen in our
timeline by prophets of old and modern-day clairvoyants. The legends are all the same ... a
thriving, advanced culture that suddenly manifested out of nowhere. Their origins and
downfall are linked to destruction when their continent sank beneath the 'sea' due to natural
cataclysms and human imbalance."

90 "...polar shift"...
"In 1852, mathematician Joseph Adhemar suggested that the accumulation of thick ice at
the poles periodically caused the earth to flip and the equator to move to where the poles
were. An early mention of a shifting of the Earth's axis can be found in an 1872 article
entitled "Chronologie historique des Mexicains" which interpreted ancient Mexican myths as
evidence for four periods of global cataclysms that had begun around 10,500 B.C.
The novel Geyserland: Empiricisms in Social Reform. Being Data and Observations
Recorded by the Late Mark Stubble, M.D., Ph.D. (1908) by Richard Hatfield used the device
of a fictional study to locate a blissful nation of pure Communism at the North Pole on the
island of Atlantis. This fictional Utopia was destroyed by a pole shift set in 9262 B.C.
Hugh Auchincloss Brown, an electrical engineer, advanced a theory of catastrophic pole shift
influenced by Adhemar's earlier model. Brown also argued that accumulation of ice at the
poles caused recurring tipping of the axis. identifying cycles of approximately 7 millennia.
Charles Hapgood is now perhaps the best remembered early proponent, from in his books
The Earth's Shifting Crust (1958) (which includes a foreword by Albert Einstein) and
Path of the Pole (1970). Hapgood, building on Adhemar's much earlier model, speculated
that the ice mass at one or both poles over-accumulates and destabilizes the earth's
rotational balance, causing slippage of all or much of earth's outer crust around the earth's
core, which retains its axial orientation. Based on his own research, he argued that each
shift took approximately five thousand years, followed by 20 to 30 thousand year periods
with no polar movements. Also, in his calculations, the area of movement never covered
more than 40 degrees. His examples of recent locations for the North Pole include the
Yukon Territory, Hudson Bay, and in the Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Norway.
This is an example of slow pole shift motion, which displays the most minor alterations and
no destruction. A more dramatic view assumes more rapid changes, with dramatic
alterations of geography and localized areas of destruction due to earthquakes and
tsunamis. Several recent books propose changes that take place in weeks, days, or even
hours, resulting in a variety of doomsday scenarios.
Regardless of speed, the results of a shift occurring results in major climate changes for
most of the earth's surface, as areas that were formerly equatorial become temperate, and
areas that were temperate become either more equatorial or more arctic.
Hapgood wrote to Canadian librarian, Rand Flem-Ath, encouraging him in his pursuit of
scientific evidence to back Hapgood's claim and in his expansion of the theory. Flem-Ath
published the results of this work in 1995 in When the Sky Fell co-written with his wife, Rose.
223
Other theories which are not dependent upon polar ice masses include those involving:
• a high-velocity asteroid or comet which hits Earth at such an angle that the
lithosphere moves independent of the mantle
• a high-velocity asteroid or comet which hits Earth at such an angle that the entire
planet shifts axis.
• an unusually magnetic celestial object which passes close enough to Earth to
temporarily reorient the magnetic field, which then “drags” the lithosphere about a
new axis of rotation. Eventually, the sun's magnetic field again determines the
Earth's, after the intruding celestial object “returns” to a location from which it cannot
influence Earth.
• perturbations of the topography of the core-mantle boundary, perhaps induced by
differential core rotation and shift of its axial rotation vector, leading to CMB mass
redistributions. See, e.g., Bowin.
• mass redistributions in the mantle from mantle avalanches or other deformations.
See, e.g., Ladbury, and Steinberger and O'Connell."

91 "... Totalitarian..."
"Totalitarianism is a concept used in political science that describes a state that regulates
nearly every aspect of public and private behavior. Totalitarian regimes or movements
maintain themselves in political power by means of secret police, propaganda disseminated
through the state-controlled mass media, personality cults, regulation and restriction of free
discussion and criticism, single-party states, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread
use of terror tactics.
Many consider the first totalitarian regimes to have begun in the 20th century, which include
the communist regimes of the Soviet Union and Cuba, as well as totalitarianism of Nazi
Germany, Fascist Italy, Spain under Franco, Portugal under Salazar, as well as others.
However some argue that totalitarianism has existed centuries prior, such as in ancient
China under the political leadership of Prime Minister Li Si who helped the Qin dynasty unify
China. Li Si adopted the political philosophy of Legalism as the ruling philosophical thought
of China and restricted political activities and destroyed all literature and killed scholars who
did not support Legalism. Totalitarianism was also used by the Spartan state in Ancient
Greece. Its “educational system” was part of the totalitarian military society. The oligarchy
running the state machine dictated every aspect of life, including the rearing of children."

92 "...planetary governments, regulated by a brutal social, economic, and political
hierarchy..."
"A hierarchy (in Greek: hieros, 'sacred', and arkho, 'rule') is a system of ranking and
organizing things or people, where each element of the system (except for the top element)
is a subordinate to a single other element.
A hierarchy can link entities either directly or indirectly, and either vertically or horizontally.
The only direct links in a hierarchy, insofar as they are hierarchical, are to one's immediate
superior or to one of one's subordinates, although a system that is largely hierarchical can
also incorporate other organizational patterns. Indirect hierarchical links can extend
224
"vertically" upwards or downwards via multiple links in the same direction. All parts of the
hierarchy which are not vertically linked to one another can nevertheless be "horizontally"
linked by traveling up the hierarchy to find a common direct or indirect superior, and then
down again. This is akin to two co-workers, neither of whom is the other's boss, but both of
whose chains of command will eventually meet."
Many human organizations, such as governments, educational institutions, businesses,
churches, armies and political movements are hierarchical organizations, at least officially;
commonly seniors, called "bosses", have more power than their subordinates. Thus the
relationship defining this hierarchy is "commands" or "has power over". Some analysts
question whether power "actually" works in the way the traditional organizational chart
indicates, however. This view tends to emphasize the significance of the informal
organization."

93 "...royal monarch as its figurehead."
"In politics, a figurehead, by metaphor with the carved figurehead at the prow of a sailing
ship, is a person who holds an important title or office yet executes little actual power.
Common figureheads include constitutional monarchs, such as the Emperor of Japan, or
presidents in parliamentary democracies, such as the President of Israel.
While the authority of a figurehead is generally symbolic, respect and access to high levels
of government can give them significant influence on some events. An example would be
Emperor Hirohito's involvement in World War II. In parliamentary systems, presidents are
figureheads at times of peace (delegated such powers as convening or dismissing the
national legislature), but at wartime they are often commanders in chief.
Sometimes a figurehead can be exploited in times of emergency. For example, Indian Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi used the figurehead President of India to issue unilateral decrees that
allowed her to bypass parliament when it no longer supported her.
The word can also have more sinister overtones, and refer to a powerless leader who should
be exercising full authority, yet is actually being controlled by a more powerful figure behind
the throne.
The tendency of this word to drift, like many words that are in a strong process of changed
meanings, into the pejorative is beginning to make it unsuitable to apply to a head of state
with limited constitutional authority, such that its use may become increasingly inappropriate
in referring to monarchs and presidents in parliamentary systems."

94 "... united by a egalitarian esprit de corps..."
"Esprit de corps, when discussing the morale of a group, is an intangible term used for
the capacity of people to maintain belief in an institution or a goal, or even in oneself
and others. According to Alexander H. Leighton, "morale is the capacity of a group of
people to pull together persistently and consistently in pursuit of a common
purpose".
225
Egalitarian, (derived from the French word égal, meaning equal) is a political doctrine that
holds that all people should be treated as equals from birth. Generally it applies to being
held equal under the law, the church, and society at large. In actual practice, one may be
considered an egalitarian in most areas listed above, even if not subscribing to equality in
every possible area of individual difference. For example, one might support equal rights in
race matters but not in gender issues, or vice versa."

95 "... Many of the IS-BEs on Earth are here because they are violently opposed to
totalitarian governments..."
-- Editor's Note: Coincidentally, or perhaps NOT coincidentally, almost one year after this
interview, the novel "1984" by George Orwell, which was published in June of 1948. The
state of the U.S. government has grown to mirror many of the features described by Orwell
in the book, "Nineteen Eighty-Four". It is easy to speculate that Orwell may have been
"influenced" by an IS-BE of The Domain while writing this book. Or, at the very least, he was
one of the IS-BEs sentenced to Earth because he is one of "... the IS-BEs on Earth are
here because they are violently opposed to totalitarian governments...".
The following description of the basis for Orwell's "1984" are taken verbatim from
Wikipedia.org. It is a very close description of the "Old Empire" government:
"Much of Oceanic society is based upon Stalin's Soviet Union. The "Two Minutes' Hate"
was the ritual demonization of State enemies and rivals; Big Brother resembles Joseph
Stalin; the Party's archenemy, Emmanuel Goldstein, resembles Leon Trotsky (both are
Jewish, both have the same physiognomy, and Trotsky's real surname was 'Bronstein').
Another suggested inspiration for Goldstein is Emma Goldman, the famous Anarchist figure.
Doctored photography is a propaganda technique and the creation of unpersons in the
story, analogous to Stalin's enemies being made nonpersons and being erased from
official photographic records; the police treatment of several characters recalls the
Moscow Trials of the Great Purge."
There a very many interesting parallels between the concepts discussed by Orwell in
"1984", and the description of the "Old Empire" government and the Earth prison
planet activities in the transcripts of the "Alien Interviews" with Airl.
For example, a few of these are parallels cited in the following excerpt from the
internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org:
"The Thought Police capture Winston and Julia in their sanctuary bedroom and they are
separately interrogated at the Ministry of Love, where the regime's opponents are tortured
and killed, but sometimes released (to be executed at a later date); Charrington, the shop
keeper who rented them the room reveals himself an officer of the Thought Police. In the
Ministry of Love torture chamber, O'Brien tells Smith that he will be cured of his hatred
for the Party. During a session, he explains to Winston that torture's purpose is to alter
his way of thinking, not to extract a fake confession, adding that once cured — accepting
reality as the Party describes — he then will be executed; electroshock torture will
achieve that, continuing until O'Brien decides Winston is cured."
For complete comparative analysis, read the book, "1984" or read the entire reference to the
book on the internet at Wikipedia.org, excerpted below:
226
"Nineteen Eighty-Four (also titled 1984), by George Orwell (the pen name of Eric Arthur
Blair), is an English dystopian novel about life in a dictatorship as lived by Winston Smith, an
intellectual worker at the Ministry of Truth, and his degradation when he runs afoul of the
totalitarian government of Oceania, the state in which he lives in the year 1984.
Orwell's influences
In the essay Why I Write, Orwell explains that all the serious work he wrote since the
Spanish Civil War in 1936 was "written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for
democratic socialism." Therefore, Nineteen Eighty-Four is an anti-totalitarian cautionary tale
about the betrayal of a revolution by its defenders. He already had stated distrust of
totalitarianism and betrayed revolutions in Homage to Catalonia and Animal Farm. Coming
Up For Air, at points, celebrates the personal and political freedoms lost in Nineteen EightyFour.
The novel's title, its terms and its language (Newspeak), and its author's surname are
bywords for personal privacy lost to national state security. The adjective "Orwellian"
denotes totalitarian action and organization; the phrase: Big Brother is Watching You
connotes pervasive, invasive surveillance. The following quotation has become famous:
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Although the novel has been banned or challenged in some countries, it, along with Brave
New World, by Aldous Huxley, and Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is among literature's
most famous dystopias. In 2005, Time magazine listed it among the best one hundred
English-language novels published since 1923.
Nineteen Eighty-Four introduces Oceania, one of the world's three intercontinental
totalitarian super-states. The story occurs in London, the "chief city of Airstrip One", itself a
province of Oceania that "had been called England or Britain". Posters of "Big Brother", the
Party leader, with the caption BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, dominate the city
landscapes; two-way television (the telescreen) dominates the private and public spaces of
the populace.
Oceania's people are in three classes — (i) the Inner Party, (ii) the Outer Party, and (iii) the
"Proles". This government, the Party, controls them via the Ministry of Truth (MiniTru), where
Winston Smith, the protagonist, works; he is a member of the Outer Party. His job in MiniTru
is the continual rewriting and altering of history so that the government is always right and
correct: destroying evidence, amending newspaper articles, deleting the existence of people
identified as "unpersons".
The story begins on April 4, 1984: "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were
striking thirteen." The date is questionable, because it is what Winston Smith perceives. In
the story's course, he concludes it as irrelevant, because the State can arbitrarily alter it; the
year 1984 and its world are transmutable.
The novel does not render the world's full history to 1984. Indeed, because the book
Winston reads is given to him by a Party member, it is possible that the book itself is meant
to be a deception, and the history of the world of 1984 is somewhat different. Winston's
227
recollections, and what he reads in The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by
Emmanuel Goldstein, reveal that after the Second World War, the United Kingdom fell to
civil war, becoming part of Oceania. Simultaneously, the Soviet Union encompassed
mainland Europe, forming Eurasia; the third super state, Eastasia, comprises the east Asian
countries around China and Japan.
There was an atomic war, fought mainly in Europe, western Russia, and North America. It is
unclear what occurred first: the civil war wherein the Party assumed power or the United
States' annexation of the British Empire or the war during which Colchester was bombed.
During the Second World War, George Orwell repeatedly said that British democracy, as it
existed before 1939, would not survive the war; the question being: Would it end via Fascist
coup d'état (from above) or via Socialist revolution (from below)? During the war, Orwell
admitted events proved him wrong: "What really matters is that I fell into the trap of
assuming that 'the war and the revolution are inseparable' "

96 "... Wars are fought with electronic cannon."...
"I have not thought it hazardous to predict, that wars in the future will be waged by
electrical means." -- Nikola Tesla, 1915
Tesla made some remarkable claims concerning a "teleforce" weapon. The press called it a
"peace ray" or death ray. In total, the components and methods included:
1. An apparatus for producing manifestations of energy in free air instead of in a high
vacuum as in the past. This, according to Tesla in 1934, was accomplished.
2. A mechanism for generating tremendous electrical force. This, according to Tesla,
was also accomplished.
3. A means of intensifying and amplifying the force developed by the second
mechanism.
4. A new method for producing a tremendous electrical repelling force. This would be
the projector, or gun, of the invention.
Tesla worked on plans for a directed-energy weapon between the early 1900s till the time of
his death. In 1937, Tesla composed a treatise entitled "The Art of Projecting Concentrated
Non-dispersive Energy through the Natural Media" concerning charged particle beams.
Tesla published the document in an attempt to expound on the technical description of a
"superweapon that would put an end to all war". This treatise of the particle beam is currently
in the Nikola Tesla Museum archive in Belgrade. It described an open ended vacuum tube
with a gas jet seal that allowed particles to exit, a method of charging particles to millions of
volts, and a method of creating and directing nondispersive particle streams (through
electrostatic repulsion).
Records of his indicate that it was based on a narrow stream of atomic clusters of liquid
mercury or tungsten accelerated via high voltage (by means akin to his magnifying
transformer). Tesla gave the following description concerning the particle gun's operation:
[The nozzle would] send concentrated beams of particles through the free air, of such
tremendous energy that they will bring down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes at a distance
of 200 miles from a defending nation's border and will cause armies to drop dead in their
tracks."

97 "... like the Axis powers..."
"The Axis powers, also interpreted as Axis alliance, Axis nations, Axis countries or
sometimes just the Axis were those countries opposed to the Allies during World War II. The
three major Axis powers, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan were part of a
military alliance on the signing of the Tripartite Pact in September 1940, which officially
founded the Axis powers. At their zenith, the Axis powers ruled empires that dominated large
parts of Europe, Africa, East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean, but World War II
ended with their total defeat. Like the Allies, membership of the Axis was fluid, and some
nations entered and later left the Axis during the course of the war.
The term was first used by Benito Mussolini, in November 1936, when he spoke of a RomeBerlin axis arising out of the treaty of friendship signed between Italy and Germany on
October 25, 1936. Mussolini declared that the two countries would form an "axis" around
which the other states of Europe would revolve. This treaty was forged when Italy, originally
opposed to Germany, was faced with opposition to its war in Abyssinia from the League of
Nations and received support from Germany. Later, in May 1939, this relationship
transformed into an alliance, called by Mussolini the "Pact of Steel"."

98 "...Vedic Hymns..."
The Vedas are very exhaustive scriptures. Each veda contains several sections and
thousands of hymns. Some of the Vedic hymns, especially the hymns of the Rig veda, are
considered to be at least 6000-8000 years old. The Vedas are believed to be revealed
scriptures, because they are considered to be divine in origin. Since they were not written by
any human beings but were only heard in deep meditative states, they are commonly
referred a "those that were heard".
Here is one of the most famous hymns from the Rig Vega: :The Hymn of Creation"
"A time is envisioned when the world was not, only a watery chaos (the dark,
"indistinguishable sea") and a warm cosmic breath, which could give an impetus of life.
Notice how thought gives rise to desire (when something is thought of it can then be desired)
and desire links non-being to being (we desire what is not but then try to bring it about that it
is). Yet the whole process is shrouded in mystery.
Where do the gods fit in this creation scheme?
The non-existent was not; the existent was not at that time. The atmosphere was not nor the
heavens which are beyond. What was concealed? Where? In whose protection? Was it
water? An unfathomable abyss?
There was neither death nor immortality then. There was not distinction of day or night. That
alone breathed windless by its own power. Other than that there was not anything else.
Darkness was hidden by darkness in the beginning. All this was an indistinguishable sea.
That which becomes, that which was enveloped by the void, that alone was born through the
power of heat.
229
Upon that desire arose in the beginning. This was the first discharge of thought. Sages
discovered this link of the existent to the nonexistent, having searched in the heart with
wisdom.
Their line [of vision] was extended across; what was below, what was above? There were
impregnators, there were powers: inherent power below, impulses above.
Who knows truly? Who here will declare whence it arose, whence this creation? The gods
are subsequent to the creation of this. Who, then, knows whence it has come into being?
Whence this creation has come into being; whether it was made or not; he in the highest
heaven is its surveyor. Surely he knows, or perhaps he knows not."

99 "... the Aryan people..."
"The Vedic term arya- in its earliest attestations has a meaning of "stranger", but
"stranger" in the sense of "potential guest". The Sanskrit lexicon defines Arya as
mahākula kulīnārya "being of a noble family", sabhya "having gentle or refined
behavior and demeanor", sajjana "being well-born and respectable", and sādhava
"being virtuous, honourable, or righteous". Arya, is a title of honor and respect given
to certain people for noble behavior.
The Aryan race was a term used in the early 20th century by European racial theorists who
believed strongly in the division of humanity into biologically distinct races with differing
characteristics. Such writers believed that the Proto-Indo-Europeans constituted a specific
race that had expanded across parts of Europe, Iran and small parts of northern India. This
usage tends to merge the Sanskrit meaning of "noble" or "elevated" with the idea of
distinctive behavioral and ancestral ethnicity marked by language distribution.
Nazism portrayed their interpretation of an "Aryan race" as the only race capable of, or with
an interest in, creating and maintaining culture and civilizations, while other races are merely
capable of conversion, or destruction of culture. These arguments derived from late
nineteenth century racial hierarchies. Some Nazis were also influenced by Madame
Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine (1888) where she postulates "Aryans" as the fifth of her
"Root Races", dating them to about a million years ago, tracing them to Atlantis,
Because of historical racist use of Aryan, and especially use of Aryan race in connection with
the propaganda of Nazism, the word is sometimes avoided in the West as being tainted, in
the same manner as the swastika symbol. Currently, India and Iran are the only countries
to use the word Aryan in a demographic denomination."

100 "... the Vedic Hymns..."
"The term veda means "knowledge, (sacred) lore" embraces a body of writings the origin
of which is ascribed to divine revelation (shruti, literally "hearing"), and which forms the
foundation of the Brahmanical system of religious belief. This sacred canon is divided into
three or (according to a later scheme) four co-ordinate collections, likewise called Veda:
230
(I) the Rig-veda, or lore of praise (or hymns); (2) the Samaveda, or lore of tunes (or
chants); (3) the Yajurveda, or lore of prayer (or sacrificial formulas); and (4) the Atharvaveda,
or lore of the Atharvans. Each of these four Vedas consists primarily of a collection
(samihita) of sacred, mostly poetical, texts of a devotional nature, called mantra. This entire
body of texts (and particularly the first three collections) is also frequently referred to as the
trayi vidya, or threefold wisdom, of hymns (rik), tune or chant (saman), and prayer (yajus),
the fourth Veda, if at all included, being in that case classed together with the Rik."

101 "...Vishnu..."
"Vishnu is the All-Pervading essence of all beings, the master of and beyond the past,
present and future, the creator and destroyer of all existences, one who supports, sustains
and governs the Universe and originates and develops all elements within. In the Rigveda,
Vishnu is mentioned 93 times.
The traditional Sanskrit explanation of the name Viu involves the root viś, meaning "to
settle, to enter", or "to pervade", and a suffix nu, translating to approximately "the AllPervading One".
He has nine avatars, or 'incarnations' (which) are described as having occurred in the past,
with one still to happen at the end of Kali Yuga. The Bhagavad Gita mentions their purpose
as being to vanquish negative forces."

102 "...past lives."
A "past lives" scenario automatically infers a "future life" in the context of an amnesia and
prison planet operation. This implies the phenomenon of reincarnation:
"Reincarnation literally "to be made flesh again", is a doctrine or metaphysical belief that
some essential part of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death
to be reborn in a new body. This essential part is often referred to as the spirit or soul, the
"higher" or "true" self, "divine spark", or "I". According to such beliefs, a new personality is
developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the self remains constant
throughout the successive lives.
Belief in reincarnation is an ancient phenomenon. This doctrine is a central tenet within the
majority of Indian religious traditions, such as Hinduism (including Yoga, Vaishnavism, and
Shaivism), Jainism, and Sikhism. The idea was also entertained by some Ancient Greek
philosophers. Many modern Pagans also believe in reincarnation as do some New Age
movements, along with followers of Spiritism, practitioners of certain African traditions, and
students of esoteric philosophies such as Kabbalah, Sufism and Gnostic and Esoteric
Christianity. The Buddhist concept of Rebirth although often referred to as reincarnation
differs significantly from the Hindu-based traditions and New Age movements in that there is
no "self" (or eternal soul) to reincarnate.
During recent decades, a significant minority of people in the West have developed a belief
in reincarnation. Notable exceptions include Henry Ford and General George Patton.
231
Henry Ford was convinced he had lived before, most recently as a soldier killed at the battle
of Gettysburg. A quote from the San Francisco Examiner from August 26, 1928 described
Ford's beliefs:
"I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was twenty-six. Religion offered
nothing to the point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction. Work is
futile if we cannot utilize the experience we collect in one life in the next. When I
discovered Reincarnation it was as if I had found a universal plan I realized that
there was a chance to work out my ideas. Time was no longer limited. I was no
longer a slave to the hands of the clock. Genius is experience. Some seem to think
that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives. Some are
older souls than others, and so they know more. The discovery of Reincarnation put
my mind at ease. If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so that it puts
mens minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others the calmness that the
long view of life gives to us."
General George S. Patton was a staunch believer in reincarnation and, along with many
other members of his family, often claimed to have seen vivid, lifelike visions of his
ancestors. In particular, Patton believed he was a reincarnation of Carthaginian General
Hannibal.
The most detailed collections of personal reports in favor of reincarnation have been
published by Professor Ian Stevenson, from the University of Virginia, in books such as
Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation.
Stevenson spent over 40 years devoted to the study of children who have apparently spoken
about a past life. In each case, Professor Stevenson methodically documented the child's
statements. Then he identified the deceased person the child allegedly identified with, and
verified the facts of the deceased person's life that matched the child's memory. He also
matched birthmarks and birth defects to wounds and scars on the deceased, verified by
medical records such as autopsy photographs.
In a fairly typical case, a boy in Beirut spoke of being a 25-year-old mechanic, thrown to his
death from a speeding car on a beach road. According to multiple witnesses, the boy
provided the name of the driver, the exact location of the crash, the names of the mechanic's
sisters and parents and cousins, and the people he went hunting with -- all of which turned
out to match the life of a man who had died several years before the boy was born, and who
had no apparent connection to the boy's family.
Stevenson believed that his strict methods ruled out all possible "normal" explanations for
the childs memories. However, it should be noted that a significant majority of Professor
Stevenson's reported cases of reincarnation originate in Eastern societies, where dominant
religions often permit the concept of reincarnation. Following this type of criticism, Stevenson
published a book on European cases suggestive of reincarnation."

103 "...Moses..."
"The cartouche of Akhenaten's god and heavenly father, the Aten, bore the name Imram. In
the Bible, Moses is referred to as the son of Amram, the Hebrew equivalent.
232
The name of the Egyptian deity Aten transliterates into the Hebrew word Adon. Adon,
which is translated by English Bibles as "the Lord" (and Adonai, translated as "my Lord") is
used along with Jehovah (Yhwh) in the Bible as the exclusive personal names of God.
Moreover, in ancient times, the name Jehovah (Yhwh) was written, but never spoken.
Whenever the written name Jehovah (Yhwh) was to be read out loud, Adon (Aten) was
voiced instead. The written form of Adon is infrequent, however, its limited usage is
significant, especially in the first six books of the Bible (See under "LORD" in Strong's
Exhaustive Concordance), where it is reserved for the following applications alone: Moses
addresses God using the title Adon/Aten (Exodus 4:10,13; 5:22; 34:9; Numbers 14:17;
Deuteronomy 3:23; 7:26; 10:17); Moses, himself, is addressed both by Aaron
(Ex.32:22; Num.12:11) and by Joshua (Numbers 11:28) using the title Adon/Aten; and
Joshua also addresses God using the title Adon/Aten (Joshua 5:14 b; 7:7). As
mentioned above, there is an established relationship between the literature of the Egyptian
18th Dynasty and the Bible. Psalm 104 is an embellishment of the Hymn to the Aten which
was found by archaeologists at the city of Akhetaten."
http://www.domainofman.com/ankhemmaat/moses.html
"Recent and non-Biblical view places Moses as a noble in the court of the Pharaoh
Akhenaten. A significant number of scholars, from Sigmund Freud to Joseph Campbell,
suggest that Moses may have fled Egypt after Akhenaten's death (ca. 1334 BC) when many
of the pharaoh's monotheistic reforms were being violently reversed. The principal ideas
behind this theory are: the monotheistic religion of Akhenaten being a possible
predecessor to Moses' monotheism, and the "Amarna Letters", written by nobles to
Akhenaten, which describe raiding bands of "Habiru" attacking the Egyptian territories in
Mesopotamia."

104 "...Amenhotep III..."
"Amenhotep III, meaning Amun is Satisfied was the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth
dynasty. According to different authors, he ruled Egypt from June 1391 BC-December 1353
BCE or June 1388 BCE to December 1351 BC/1350 BCE after his father Thutmose IV died.
Amenhotep III was the son of Thutmose IV by Mutemwia, a minor wife of Amenhotep's
father. Amenhotep III fathered two sons with his Great Royal Wife Tiye, a great queen
known as the progenitor of monotheism via the Crown Prince Tuthmose who predeceased
his father, and his second son, Akhenaten, who ultimately succeeded him to the throne."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org
105 "...Akhenaten..."
"Akhenaten, meaning Effective spirit of Aten, first known as Amenhotep IV (sometimes read
as Amenophis IV and meaning Amun is Satisfied) before his first year, was a Pharaoh of the
Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt. He is especially noted for attempting to compel the Egyptian
population in the monotheistic worship of Aten, although there are doubts as to how
successful he was at this.
Amenhotep IV succeeded his father after Amenhotep III's death at the end of his 38-year
reign, possibly after a coregency lasting between either 1 to 2 or 12 years. Suggested dates
for Akhenaten's reign (subject to the debates surrounding Egyptian chronology) are from
1353 BCE - 1336 BCE or 1351 BCE 1334 BCE Akhenaten's chief wife was Nefertiti.
233
His religious reformation appears to have begun with his decision to celebrate a Sed festival
in his third regnal year a highly unusual step, since a Sed-festival, a sort of royal jubilee
intended to reinforce the Pharaoh's divine powers of kingship, was traditionally held in the
thirtieth year of a Pharaoh's reign.
Year eight marked the beginning of construction on his new capital, Akhetaten ('Horizon of
Aten'), at the site known today as Amarna. In the same year, Amenhotep IV officially
changed his name to Akhenaten ('Effective Spirit of Aten') as evidence of his shifting
religious perspective. Very soon afterward he centralized Egyptian religious practices in
Akhenaten, though construction of the city seems to have continued for several more years.
In honor of Aten, Akhenaten also oversaw the construction of some of the most massive
temple complexes in ancient Egypt, including one at Karnak, close to the old temple of
Amun. In these new temples, Aten was worshipped in the open sunlight, rather than in dark
temple enclosures, as had been the previous custom. Akhenaten is also believed to have
composed the Great Hymn to the Aten.
Initially, Akhenaten presented Aten as a variant of the familiar supreme deity Amun-Ra (itself
the result of an earlier rise to prominence of the cult of Amun, resulting in Amun becoming
merged with the sun god Ra), in an attempt to put his ideas in a familiar Egyptian religious
context. However, by Year 9 of his reign Akhenaten declared that Aten was not merely the
supreme god, but the only god, and that he, Akhenaten, was the only intermediary between
Aten and his people. He ordered the defacing of Amun's temples throughout Egypt, and in a
number of instances inscriptions of the plural 'gods' were also removed.
Aten's name is also written differently after Year 9, to emphasize the radicalism of the new
regime, which included a ban on idols, with the exception of a rayed solar disc, in which the
rays (commonly depicted ending in hands) appear to represent the unseen spirit of Aten,
who by then was evidently considered not merely a sun god, but rather a universal deity. It is
important to note, however, that representations of the Aten were always accompanied with
a sort of "hieroglyphic footnote", stating that the representation of the sun as Allencompassing Creator was to be taken as just that: a representation of something that, by
its very nature as something transcending creation, cannot be fully or adequately
represented by any one part of that creation."
This Amarna period is also associated with a serious outbreak of a pandemic, possibly the
plague, or polio, or perhaps the world's first recorded outbreak of influenza, which came from
Egypt and spread throughout the Middle East, killing Suppiluliuma I, the Hittite King.
Influenza is a disease associated with the close proximity of water fowl, pigs and humans,
and its origin as a pandemic disease may be due to the development of agricultural systems
that allow the mixing of these animals and their wastes.
Some of the first archaeological evidence for this agricultural system is during the Amarna
period of Ancient Egypt, and the pandemic that followed this period throughout the Ancient
Near East may have been the earliest recorded outbreak of influenza. However, the precise
nature of this Egyptian plague remains unknown and Asia has also been suggested
as a possible site of origin of pandemic influenza in humans. The prevalence of disease
may help explain the rapidity with which the site of Akhetaten was subsequently abandoned.
It may also explain why later generations considered the gods to have turned against
the Amarna monarchs. The black plague has also been suggested due to the fact that at
Amarna the traces of the plague have been found."

106 "... Nefertiti...
"Nefertiti (pronounced at the time something like *nafratita) (c. 1370 BCE - c. 1330 BCE)
was the Great Royal Wife (or chief consort/wife) of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. She
was the mother-in-law and probable stepmother of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Nefertiti may
have also ruled as pharaoh in her own right under the name Neferneferuaten briefly after her
husband's death and before the accession of Tutankhamun, although this identification is
doubted by the latest research. Her name roughly translates to "the beautiful (or perfect) one
has arrived". She also shares her name with a type of elongated gold bead, called "nefer",
that she was often portrayed as wearing. She was made famous by her bust, now in Berlin's
Altes Museum.
Nefertiti's parentage is not known with certainty, but it is now generally believed that she was
the daughter of AY later to be pharaoh. Another theory that gained some support identified
Nefertiti with the Mitanni princess Tadukhipa. The name Nimerithin has been mentioned in
older scrolls, as an alternative name, but this has not yet been officially confirmed. It has
also been suggested that Nefertiti was a daughter or relative of Amenhotep III, or of the high
Theban nobility. Another theory places Nefertiti as the daughter of Sitamun, half-sister of
Amenhotep III. Queen Iaret was Sitamun's mother. Iaret held important hereditary titles that
ceased to exist after the ascension of Amenhotep III. Sitamun is elevated to Great Royal
Wife beside Tiye but there is no indication that she ever had children and if so with whom.
There is some evidence based upon the titles of each of these women that suggests that
they were somehow related to one another in her family... Her name means "beautiful one".
Nefertiti only worshiped one god by the name of Aten. Depending on which reconstruction of
the genealogy of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs is followed, her husband Akhenaten may
have been the father or half-brother of the Pharaoh Tutankhaten (later called Tutankhamen).
She had six known daughters with the Pharaoh Akhenaten. This is a list with suggested
years of birth:
• Meritaten: Before year one or the very beginning of year one.(1356 BC).
• Meketaten: Year 1 or three (1349 BC).
• Ankhesenpaaten, later queen of Tutankhamun
• Neferneferuaten Tasherit: Year 6 (1344 BC)
• Neferneferure: Year 9 (1341 BC).
• Setepenre: Year 11 (1339 BC)."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org
107 "... Tutankhamun..."
"He was the son of Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, and his minor wife Queen
Kiya. Queen Kiya's title was "Greatly Beloved Wife of Akhenaten" so it is possible that she
could have borne him an heir. Supporting this theory, images on the tomb wall in the tomb of
Akhenaten show a royal fan bearer standing next to Kiya's death bed, fanning what is either
a princess or more likely a wet nurse holding a baby, which would indicate that the wet nurse
was holding the boy-king-to-be.
Tutankhamun was only nine or ten years old when he became pharaoh, and reigned for
approximately ten years, making him nineteen years old at death. In historical terms
Tutankhamun significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations
235
introduced by his predecessor Akenhaten and that his tomb, uniquely, in the Valley of the
Kings was discovered almost completely intact -- the most complete ancient Egyptian tomb
ever found. As Tutankhamun began his reign at such an early age, his vizier and eventual
successor Ay was probably making most of the important political decisions during
Tutankhamun's reign."

108 ..."Brothers of the Snake"...
"It cannot be overemphasized that the serpent or snake plays no role in the teachings or
ritual of regular Freemasonry. Its introduction as a fastener for masonic aprons is easily seen
as the work of regalia manufacturers. That said, the symbolic usages of the snake are of
interest to students of religion, esoterica, and of history.
On the other hand, George Oliver writes that the serpent is a "significant symbol in
Freemasonry : Moses' rod changed into a serpent, "The serpentine emblem of Masonry... is
a bright symbol of Hope; for the promised Deliverer will open the gates of Heaven to his
faithful followers by bruising its head, and they shall enter triumphantly, trampling on its
prostrate body." "A striking emblem of Christianity triumphant; and bearing an undoubted
reference to the promise made to Adam after his unhappy fall." In mainstream Christian
beliefs, the snake represents temptation and evil: the snake is the servant of Satan. But it
has also had its more positive significance.
In ancient Egyptian mythology the world was created by four powers, one of which was the
sun god Amun-Ra who took the form of a snake and emerged from the water to
inseminated the cosmic egg, the kneph, which was created by the other gods. In another
story, a god named Hathor transformed himself into a poisonous snake called Agep and
killed Seth. He also guarded the wheat fields where the spirit of Horus was said to live,
bringing the sheaf of wheat to be regarded as the symbol of rebirth. W. Bro. H. Meij suggests
that this is the root of the masonic usage of an ear of corn in the Fellowcraft degree.
In Greek mythology Zeus freed two eagles which met at the centre of the world, sometimes
called the navel of the earth, which is guarded by a snake called Pytho. The symbol Serpens
Candivorens, a snake biting its tail, represents the unending cycle of nature between
destruction, and new creation, life and death. The Greeks called this figure Ouroboros.
Chinese mythology maintained that the world was surrounded by two entwined snakes,
which symbolized the power and wisdom of the creator. In another legend the Buddha was
attacked by a snake which bound itself seven times around his waist. Due to the inner
strength of the Buddha, the snake could not kill him but instead became his follower.
Astrologers, or those interested in the historical development of astrology, will point out that
some systems include a thirteenth sign of the zodiac known as Ophiuchus Serpentarius, the
Serpent Holder. This constellation lies between Sagittarius and Libra, somewhat over
Scorpio. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries this constellation was called Alpheichius.
Known as the "God of Invocation", this house was named after the legendary healer,
Ophiuchus (Asclepius). The two serpents in his hands later replaced the twin ribbons around
the caduceus which became a symbol for physicians."

priesthood of the ancient Egyptian god Amun.
"Maya" was the High Priest of Amen until year 4 of Akhenaten. Redford speculates that
Maya is short for Ptahmose and that Ptahmose served from the end of the reign of
Amenhotep III until the beginning of the time of Akhenaten.
"Parennefer" was the High Priest of Amen during the reigns of Tutankhamen and
Horemheb."

"(The Exodus of Hebrew slave from Egypt, led by Moses) may have occurred around 1400s
BC, since the Amarna letters, written ca. forty years later to Pharaohs Amenhotep III and
Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) indicate that Canaan was being invaded by the "Habiru" —
whom some scholars in the 1950s to 1970s interpret to mean "Hebrews".
Exodus 34:29-35 tells that after meeting with God the skin of Moses' face became radiant,
frightening the Israelites and leading Moses to wear a veil. Jonathan Kirsch, in his book
Moses: A Life, thought that, since he subsequently had to wear a veil to hide it, Moses' face
was disfigured by a sort of "divine radiation burn".

237
Aramaic language of their Babylonian captors, which was closely related to Hebrew and,
while sharing many vocabulary words in common, contained some words that sounded the
same or similar but had other meanings. In Aramaic, the Hebrew word for “blaspheme” used
in Leviticus 24:16, “Anyone who blasphemes the name of YHWH must be put to death”
carried the meaning of “pronounce” rather than “blaspheme”.

112 "...Torah...decoded..."
"The Bible Code is a best-selling controversial book by Michael Drosnin, first published in
1997. A sequel, The Bible Code II, was published in 2002 and also reached best-seller
status.
Drosnin describes an alleged "Bible code", in which messages are encoded in the Hebrew
bible. The messages are purported to be hidden in the Torah, and can be deciphered by
placing the letters of various Torah passages at equal intervals in a text that has been
formatted to fit inside a graph.
Drosnin suggests that the Code was written by extraterrestrial life (which he claims also
brought the DNA of the human genetic code to Earth). Drosnin elaborates on this theory in
The Bible Code II, suggesting that the alien who brought the code left the key to the code in
a steel obelisk. Drosnin attempted to find this obelisk, which he believes is buried near the
Dead Sea. Drosnin's book is based on the technique described in the paper "Equidistant
Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis" by Professor Eliyahu Rips of the Hebrew
University in Israel with Doron Witztum and Yoav Rosenberg."

113 "... Buddha ..."
"The following points are the a few of the fundamentals of the teachings attributed to
Gautama Buddha:
The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an inherent part of existence; that the origin
of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and
craving; that attachment and craving can be ceased; and that following the Noble Eightfold
Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering.
The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right
action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
Dependent origination: that any phenomenon 'exists' only because of the existence
of other phenomena in a complex web of cause and effect covering time past, present and
future.
Because all things are thus conditioned and transient (anicca), they have no real
independent identity (anatta).
Anicca (Sanskrit: anitya): That all things are impermanent.
Anatta (Sanskrit: anātman): That the perception of a constant "self" is an illusion.
Dukkha (Sanskrit: dukha): That all beings suffer from all situations due to unclear
mind.
According to tradition, the Buddha emphasized ethics and correct understanding. He
questioned the average person's notions of divinity and salvation. He stated that gods are
subjected to karma themselves; and the Buddha is solely a guide and teacher for the
238
sentient beings who must tread the path of Nirvāa themselves to attain the spiritual
awakening called bodhi and see truth and reality as it is. The Buddhist system of insight and
meditation practice is not believed to have been revealed divinely, but by the understanding
of the true nature of the mind, which must be discovered by personally treading a spiritual
path guided by the Buddha's teachings."

114 "... Laozi..."
"The Daodejing, often called simply the Laozi after its reputed author, describes the Dao (or
Tao) as the mystical source and ideal of all existence: it is unseen, but not transcendent,
immensely powerful yet supremely humble, being the root of all things. According to the
Daodejing, humans have no special place within the Dao, being just one of its many ("ten
thousand") manifestations. People have desires and free will (and thus are able to alter their
own nature). Many act "unnaturally", upsetting the natural balance of the Dao. The
Daodejing intends to lead students to a "return" to their natural state, in harmony with Dao.
Language and conventional wisdom are critically assessed. Taoism views them as
inherently biased and artificial, widely using paradoxes to sharpen the point.
Wu wei, literally "non-action" or "not acting", is a central concept of the Daodejing. The
concept of wu wei is very complex and reflected in the words' multiple meanings, even in
English translation; it can mean "not doing anything", "not forcing", "not acting" in the
theatrical sense, "creating nothingness", "acting spontaneously", and "flowing with the
moment."
Laozi used the term broadly with simplicity and humility as key virtues, often in contrast to
selfish action. On a political level, it means avoiding such circumstances as war, harsh laws
and heavy taxes. Some Taoists see a connection between wu wei and esoteric practices,
such as the "sitting in oblivion" (emptying the mind of bodily awareness and thought) found
in the Zhuangzi.
Taoism is a religion addressing the quest of immortality."

115 "...Zoroaster..."
"The best known (Zoroastrians were the) Magi, the "Wise Men from the East" in the Bible,
(who brought gifts to Bethlehem) and whose graves Marco Polo claimed to have seen in
what is today the district of Saveh, near Tehran, Iran. In English, the term is the origin of
the words magic and magician.
"Many traits of Zoroastrianism can be traced back to the culture and beliefs of the protoIndo-Iranian period, and Zoroastrianism consequently shares some elements with the
historical Vedic religion that also has its origins in that era.
Central to Zoroastrianism is the emphasis on moral choice, to choose between the
responsibility and duty for which one is in the mortal world, or to give up this duty and
so facilitate the work of druj. Similarly, predestination is rejected in Zoroastrian teaching.
Humans bear responsibility for all situations they are in, and in the way they act to one
another. Reward, punishment, happiness and grief all depend on how individuals live
their life.
239
In Zoroastrianism, good transpires for those who do righteous deeds. Those who do evil
have themselves to blame for their ruin. Zoroastrian morality is then to be summed up in the
simple phrase, "good thoughts, good words, good deeds".
There is one universal and transcendental God, Ahura Mazda, the one uncreated creator
and to whom all worship is ultimately directed.
Ahura Mazda's creation — evident as truth and order — is the antithesis of chaos, falsehood
and disorder. The resulting conflict involves the entire universe, including humanity, which
has an active role to play in the conflict.
Active participation in life through good thoughts, good words and good deeds is necessary
to ensure happiness and to keep the chaos at bay. This active participation is a central
element in Zoroaster's concept of free will."

116 "The land masses continually crack, crumble and drift."
"Plate tectonics (from Greek τέκτων, tektōn "builder" or "mason") is a theory of geology that
has been developed to explain the observed evidence for large scale motions of the Earth's
lithosphere. The theory encompassed and superseded the older theory of continental drift
from the first half of the 20th century and the concept of seafloor spreading developed during
the 1960s.
The outermost part of the Earth's interior is made up of two layers: above is the lithosphere,
comprising the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere lies
the asthenosphere. Although solid, the asthenosphere has relatively low viscosity and shear
strength and can flow like a liquid on geological time scales. The deeper mantle below the
asthenosphere is more rigid again. This is, however, not because of cooler temperatures but
due to high pressure.
The lithosphere is broken up into what are called tectonic plates — in the case of Earth,
there are seven major and many minor plates. The lithospheric plates ride on the
asthenosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate
boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and
transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench
formation occur along plate boundaries. The lateral movement of the plates is typically at
speeds of 5 - 10 centimeters / yr."

117 " The magnetic poles of the planet shift radically about once every 20,000 years".
"The pole shift theory is a hypothesis that the axis of rotation of a planet has not always
been at its present-day locations or that the axis will not persist there; in other words, that its
physical poles had been or will be shifted. Pole shift theory is almost always discussed in the
context of Earth, but other solar system bodies may have experienced axial reorientation
during their existences.
240
Pole shift theories are not to be confused with plate tectonics, the well-accepted geological
theory that the Earth's surface consists of solid plates which shift over a fluid asthenosphere;
nor with continental drift, the corollary to plate tectonics which maintains that locations of the
continents have moved slowly over the face of the earth, resulting in the gradual emerging
and breakup of continents and oceans over hundreds of millions of years.
Pole shift theories are also not to be confused with Geomagnetic reversal, the periodic
reversal of the earth's magnetic field (effectively switching the north and south magnetic
poles). Geomagnetic reversal has more acceptance in the scientific community than pole
shift theories."

118 " This operation is managed by the secret police..."
"Secret police (sometimes political police) are a police organization which operates in
secrecy to maintain national security against internal threats to the state. Secret police
forces are typically associated with totalitarian regimes, as they are often used to
maintain the political power of the state rather than uphold the rule of law. Secret police are
law enforcement organizations officially endowed with authority superior to civil police forces,
operating outside the normal boundaries of the law, and they are often accountable only
to the executive branch of the government. They operate entirely or partially in secrecy;
i.e., most or all of their operations are obscure and hidden from the general public and from
all government officials, except for the topmost executive officials. Secret police
organizations have often been used as an instrument of political repression. States
where the secret police wield significant power are sometimes referred to as police states.
Secret police differ from the domestic security agencies in modern liberal democracies,
because domestic security agencies are generally subject to government regulation,
reporting requirements, and other accountability measures. Despite such oversight, there
still exists the possibility of domestic-security agencies acting unlawfully and taking on some
characteristics of secret police.
Secret police not only have the traditional police authority to arrest and detain, but in some
cases they are given unsupervised control of the length of detention, assigned to implement
punishments independent of the public judiciary, and allowed to administer those
punishments without external review. The tactics of investigation and intimidation used by
secret police enable them to accrue so much power that they usually operate with little or no
practical restraint. Secret-police organizations employ internal spies and civilian
informants to find protest leaders or dissidents, and they may also employ agents
provocateurs to incite political opponents to perform illegal acts against the government,
whereupon such opponents may be arrested. Secret police may open mail, tap telephone
lines, use various techniques to trick, blackmail, or coerce relatives or friends of a
suspect into providing information. The secret police are renowned for raiding homes
between midnight and dawn, to apprehend people suspected of dissent.
People apprehended by the secret police are often arbitrarily arrested and detained
without due process. While in detention, arrestees may be tortured or subjected to
inhumane treatment. Suspects may not receive a public trial, and instead may be convicted
in a kangaroo court-style show trial, or by a secret tribunal.
Secret police have been used by many types of governments. Secret police forces in
dictatorships and totalitarian states usually use violence and acts of terror to
241
suppress political opposition and dissent, and may use death squads to carry out
assassinations and "disappearances". Although secret police normally do not exist in
democratic states there are different varieties of democracy and, in times of emergency or
war, a democracy may lawfully grant its policing and security services additional or sweeping
powers, which may be seen or construed as a secret police."

119 "...using false provocation operations to disguise their activities..."
"False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments,
corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are
being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying
false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations
are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peacetime; for example, during Italy's strategy of tension.
During the Italian strategy of tension in which several bombings in the 1970s, attributed to
far-left organizations, were in fact carried out by far-right organizations cooperating with the
Italian secret services (see Operation Gladio, 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing, 1972 Peteano
attack by Vincenzo Vinciguerra, 1973 assassination attempt of former Interior Minister
Mariano Rumor, 1980 Bologna massacre, etc. and various investigations, for example by
Guido Salvini). In France, the Masada Action and Defense Movement, supposedly a Zionist
group, was really a neo-fascist terrorist group which hoped to increase tension between
Arabs and Jews in France.
False flag tactics were also employed during the Algerian civil war, starting in the mid-1994.
Death squads composed of DRS(Département du Renseignement et de la Sécurité) security
forces disguised themselves as Islamist terrorists and committed false flag terror attacks.
Such groups included the OJAL (Organisation of Young Free Algerians) or the OSSRA
(Secret Organisation for the safeguard of the Algerian Republic) According to Roger Faligot
and Pascal Kropp (1999), the OJAL reminded of "the Organization of the French Algerian
Resistance (ORAF), a group of counter-terrorists created in December 1956 by the DST
(Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire / Territorial Surveillance Directorate) whose
mission was to carry out terrorist attacks with the aim of quashing any hopes of political
compromise."
On the night of Feb. 27, 1933 the Reichstag building was set on fire. At the urging of
Hitler, Hindenburg responded the next day by issuing an emergency decree “for the
Protection of the people and the State,” which stated: “Restrictions on personal
liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on
the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal,
telegraphic and telephonic communications and warrants for house searches, orders
for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the
legal limits otherwise prescribed.” After 74 years, the question of who actually started the
Reichstag fire is still unknown and occasionally debated.
There are various 9/11 conspiracy theories (and a very large body of hard evidence -
Editor) which say the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US were a false flag
operation."

120 "... mind-control methods developed by government psychiatrists..."
"William Sargant was a consultant to the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI5/MI6). In
1953 he associated with Frank Olson, Deputy Acting Head of Special Operations for the
CIA, investigating the use of mind-bending drugs at the Biological Warfare Centre at Porton
Down.
In 1944 he collaborated with Slater in writing An Introduction to Physical Methods of
Treatment in Psychiatry, a textbook on biological psychiatry that included lobotomy
and shock therapy and remained in print for three decades.
William Sargant was a pioneer in methods of placing false memories into patients. He
attested at the 1977 U.S. Senate hearing, "that the therapist should deliberately distort
the facts of the patient's life-experience to achieve heightened emotional response
and abreaction. In the drunken state of narcoanalysis patients are prone to accept the
therapist's false constructions."
In 1957 William Sargant published one of the first books on the psychology of brainwashing,
Battle for the Mind. William Sargant connected Pavlovs findings to the ways people learned
and internalized belief systems. Conditioned behavior patterns could be changed by
stimulated stresses beyond a dogs capacity for response, in essence causing a breakdown.
This could also be caused by intense signals, longer than normal waiting periods, rotating
positive and negative signals and changing a dogs physical condition, as through illness.
Depending on the dogs initial personality, this could possibly cause a new belief system to
be held tenaciously. Sargant also connected Pavlovs findings to the mechanisms of brainwashing in religion and politics.
Sargant and Dr Ewen Cameron of Project MKULTRA notoriety, were friends and
colleagues who shared and exchanged views and information on brainwashing and depatterning techniques and their mutual researches in this area. Both men had extensive CIA
and British Secret Intelligence Service connections.
The aim of Cameron, Sargant and the CIAs researches was to find a way to obliterate
the memories of an allied spy ('de-patterning') and implant false memories at a deep
level so that if that spy was captured in his adoptive country, he would be incapable under
duress or even torture of revealing his true American/British allegiance. He would only be
able to reveal the falsely implanted memories that supported his assumed persona.
This concept became termed 'The Manchurian Candidate' after the novel. The extensive
use of 'heroic' doses of Electron Convulsive Shock Treatment combined with Deep
Sleep Treatment (narcosis), anti-depressants, tape-loops, insulin coma therapy, and other
drugs in this context, was designed to induce catastrophic memory loss which would
then supposedly be replaced with false memories and ideas (via tape loops, hypnosis,
LSD or conversations while the person was drugged).
In addition to LSD, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs, as well
as electroconvulsive therapy at 30 to 40 times the normal power. His "driving"
experiments consisted of putting subjects into drug-induced coma for months on end
(up to three in one case) while playing tape loops of noise or simple repetitive statements.
His experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered the institute for minor
problems such as anxiety disorders and post-partum depression, many of whom suffered
permanently from his actions."

121 ..."Earth is a "ghetto" planet..."
"Ghetto" is also used figuratively to indicate geographic areas with a concentration of any
type of person.
Ghetto is formed in three ways:
• As ports of entry for racial minorities, and immigrant racial minorities.
• When the majority uses compulsion (typically violence, hostility, or legal barriers) to
force minorities into particular areas.
• When the majority is willing and able to pay more than the minority to live with its
own kind.
During World War II ghettos in occupied Europe 1939-1944 were established by the Nazis to
confine Jews and sometimes Gypsies into tightly packed areas of the cities of Eastern
Europe turning them into de-facto concentration camps and death camps in the
Holocaust."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org
122 "... Holocaust..."
"The Holocaust (from the Greek λόκαυστον (holókauston): holos, "completely" and
kaustos, "burnt"), is the term generally used to describe the killing of approximately six
million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination
planned and executed by the National Socialist (Nazi) regime in Germany led by Adolf Hitler.
Other groups were persecuted and killed by the regime, including the Roma; Soviets,
particularly prisoners of war; ethnic Poles; other Slavic people; the disabled; gay
men; and political and religious dissidents.
The persecution and genocide were accomplished in stages. Legislation to remove the
Jews from civil society was enacted years before the outbreak of World War II.
Concentration camps were established in which inmates were used as slave labour until
they died of exhaustion or disease. Where the Third Reich conquered new territory in
eastern Europe, specialized units called Einsatzgruppen murdered Jews and political
opponents in mass shootings. Jews and Roma were crammed into ghettos before being
transported hundreds of miles by freight train to extermination camps where, if they survived
the journey, the majority of them were killed in gas chambers. Every arm of Germany's
bureaucracy was involved in the logistics of the mass murder, turning the country into what
one Holocaust scholar has called "a genocidal state."

123 "..."final solution"..."
"Holocaust documenters argue that the medicalization of social problems and systematic
euthanasia of people in German mental institutions in the 1930s provided the institutional,
244
procedural, and doctrinal origins of the mass murder of the 1940s. The Nuremberg Trials
convicted a number of psychiatrists who held key positions in Nazi regimes."

in Nazi Germany and the United States.
The tie between Hitler and the eugenic psychiatrists was so close that much of Mein
Kampf is literally indistinguishable in language and in tone from the major
international journals and psychiatric textbooks of the time. To quote from a few of
many such passages in Mein Kampf:
"To demand that defective people be prevented from propagating equally defective
offspring is a demand for the clearest reason and, if systematically executed,
represents the most humane act of mankind ..."
"Those who are physically and mentally unhealthy and unworthy must not
perpetuate their ;suffering in the bodies of their children ..."
"A prevention of the faculty and opportunity to procreate on the part of the physically
degenerate and the mentally sick ... would not only free humanity from an
immeasurable misfortune but would lead to a recovery which today seems scarcely
conceivable."
Hitler received support from psychiatrists and social scientists around the world after
he took power. Many articles in the world's leading medical journals monitored and heaped
praise on Hitler's eugenic legislation and policies.
Records uncovered by Abrams at the hospital confirm that the extermination had begun as
a part of a national psychiatric program before Hitler took on the systematic murder of
the Jews. Hundreds of patients had been shipped off to psychiatric extermination centers
prior to the end of 1941, when the national program was largely abandoned and local state
mental hospitals took over "the action" on their own.
The psychiatric extermination program was not a hidden, secret shame of psychiatry - at
least, not at the start. It was organized by leading professors of psychiatry and directors
of mental hospitals through a series of national meetings and workshops. So-called
euthanasia forms were circulated to individual hospitals, and final approval of each death
was then given in Berlin by a committee of the nation's outstanding psychiatrists. By
January 1940 patients were being shipped to six special extermination centers staffed by
psychiatrists.
In late 1941, public outrage and lack of enthusiasm from Hitler pushed the program
underground, but between 100,000 and 200,000 German mental patients had been
killed. From then on, individual institutions, such as that at Kaufbeuren, continued to act on
their own, even admitting new patients for the purpose of murdering them. At the end of the
war, many large institutions were entirely empty, and estimates from various war-crime
tribunals, including Nuremberg, estimate the number of dead to be between 250,000 and
300,000, mostly inmates of psychiatric hospitals and homes for the retarded...
Psychiatrist Frederic Wertham, by no means a radical critic of his profession, deserves
the credit for being the first to describe the role of psychiatry in Nazi Germany: ...
245
"The tragedy is that the PSYCHIATRISTS did not have to have an order. They acted on
their own. They were not carrying out a death sentence pronounced by somebody
else. They were the legislators who laid down the rules for deciding who was to die;
they were the administrators who worked out the procedures, provided the patients
and the places, and decided the methods of killing; they pronounced a sentence of
life or death in each individual case; they were the executioners who carried the
sentences out or -- without being coerced to do so -- surrendered their patients to be
killed in other institutions; they supervised and often watched the slow deaths..."
By November 1, 1941, the first extermination camps were being built: first Belzec, then
Sobibor, Treblinka, Chełmno and Majdanek, and finally Auschwitz-Birkenau.
At first, vague plans were made in Nazi Germany to deport all European Jews to
Madagascar. Adolf Eichmann, in particular, supported this option before the Wannsee
Conference of 1942, where he was made privy to the exact details of the "Final Solution".
SS chief Heinrich Himmler stated:
"However cruel and tragic each individual case may be, this method is still the mildest and
best, if one rejects the Bolshevik method of physical extermination of a people out of inner
conviction as un-German and impossible."
The original plan was to use the Royal Navy after Britain's defeat to exile all of Europe's
Jews to Madagascar. However, since the British were not defeated as anticipated by the
Nazis, the Madagascar Plan had to be abandoned.
The extermination process in Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka was similar to the method used
in the six extermination camps in Germany and Austria, but hugely scaled up for killing
whole transports of people at a time.
Victims would hand over their valuables, which became property of the German
Reichsbank. They then undressed, and their clothes were searched for jewelry and
other valuables. Victims were then marched into the gas chamber and packed tightly
to minimize the available fresh air. An engine created carbon monoxide gas which
was then discharged through gas pipes, killing the occupants. Their corpses were
cremated after any gold dental fillings were removed. The mass murder was carefully
tracked and documented.
For example, the intercepted Höfle Telegram sent by SS-Sturmbannführer Hermann Höfle
on January 11, 1943 to SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann in Berlin listed
1,274,166 total arrivals to the four camps of Aktion Reinhard through the end of 1942,
as well as the total arrivals by camp for the last two weeks of 1942.
The structure of all camps was nearly identical. From the reception area with ramp and
undressing barracks, the Jews entered a narrow, camouflaged path (called sluice or tube) to
the extermination area with gas chambers, pits and cremation grids. The SS and Trawnikis
stayed in a separate area. Barbed wire fences, partially camouflaged with pine branches,
surrounded the camp and separated the different parts. Unlike Auschwitz, no electric fences
were used. Wooden watchtowers guarded the camp.
246
Approximately 2 million Jews lost their lives in Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka and Majdanek in
the course of Operation Reinhard. Approximately 178,045,960 German Reichsmark worth of
Jewish property (today's value: around 700,000,000 $US or 550,000,000 Euros) was stolen.
This money went not only to German authorities, but also to single individuals (SS and police
men, camp guards, non-Jewish inhabitants of towns and villages with ghettos or adjacent
camps)."

125 "... radioactivity..."
"Nuclear weapons emit large amounts of electromagnetic radiation as visible, infrared, and
ultraviolet light. The chief hazards are burns and eye injuries. On clear days, these injuries
can occur well beyond blast ranges. The light is so powerful that it can start fires that spread
rapidly in the debris left by a blast. The range of thermal effects increases markedly with
weapon yield. Thermal radiation accounts for between 35-45% of the energy released in the
explosion, depending on the yield of the device.
The first atomic bomb actually used in war time was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th,
1945 killing between 130,000 and 150,000 people by the end of that year. Those who
survived the bombing are rapidly aging now after struggling for many years.
In Hiroshima, a tremendous fire storm developed within 20 minutes after detonation and
destroyed many more buildings and homes. A fire storm has gale force winds blowing in
towards the center of the fire from all points of the compass.
Mr. Hiroshi Sawachika was 28 years old when the bomb was dropped. He was an army
doctor stationed at the army headquarters in Ujina. When he was exposed, he was inside
the building at the headquarters, 4.1 km from the hypocenter. Being rather far from the
hypocenter, he was not seriously injured. Afterwards, he was very busy getting medical
treatment to the survivors.
INTERVIEWER: How many patients did you treat on August 6?
ANSWER: Well, at least 2 or 3 thousand on that very day if you include those patients whom
I gave directions to. I felt that as if once that day started, it never ended. I had to keep on
and on treating the patients forever. It was the longest day of my life. Later on, when I had
time to reflect on that day, I came to realize that we, doctors learned a lot through the
experience, through the suffering of all those people. It's true that the lack of medical
knowledge, medical facilities, integrated organization and so on prevented us from giving
sufficient medical treatment. Still there was a lot for us, medical doctors to learn on that day.
I learned that the nuclear weapons which gnaw the minds and bodies of human beings
should never be used. Even the slightest idea using nuclear arms should be completely
exterminated the minds of human beings. Otherwise, we will repeat the same tragedy. And
we will never stop being ashamed of ourselves."

126 "...Atlanta..."
"Atlantis was a continent. Its capital was called by the same name or by that of Poseidonis,
and was located on an island next to its coast. After this continent sunk under the seas, only
the peaks of its loftiest mountains remained above the water, forming what the ancients later
knew as the Islands of the Blest, and which we know as those of Indonesia.
Atlantis created a worldwide empire, and had colonies the world over. These colonies, as
usual, attempted to duplicate the motherland, as colonists are wont to do. Atlantis and
Lemuria have been grossly distorted and misplaced by all sorts of investigators in what
concerns both their epochs and their sizes and locations. Indeed, Atlantis and Lemuria
coexisted side by side, at more or less the same date.
More exactly, Lemuria was the archetypal Atlantis, the same as Eden or Paradise, the site of
origin of both Mankind and Civilization. From there, the Lemurian Atlanteans colonized the
nearby region of India, which became its "twin" and partner. In mythical terms, we can say
that Lemuria-Indonesia was the Mother, and that Atlantis-India was the Father of all the
other civilizations.
Our Atlantean heritage also encompasses the arts and techniques such as Agriculture and
Animal Domestication, the greatest inventions ever. Without the domesticated plants and
animals — most or all of which originated in Atlantis, and often embody an advanced use of
genetic engineering — Civilization could never have developed at all. Besides these, a
series of inventions of mysterious origins, who came to us from the dawn of time, are also
owed to Atlantis and Lemuria: metallurgy, stone masonry and sculpture, paper, the alphabet,
medicinal drugs, gunpowder, weaving, and so on."

127 "...Lemur..."
"Lemuria is the name of a hypothetical "lost land" variously located in the Indian and Pacific
Oceans. Its 19th century origins lie in attempts to account for discontinuities in
biogeography. Though Lemuria has passed out of the realm of conventional science, it has
been adopted by occult writers, as well as some Tamil writers of India. Accounts of Lemuria
differ according to the requirements of their contexts, but all share a common belief that a
continent existed in ancient times and sank beneath the ocean as a result of geological
change, often cataclysmic.
Lemuria entered the lexicon of the Occult through the works of Madame Blavatsky, who
claimed in the 1880s to have been shown an ancient, pre-Atlantean Book of Dzyan by the
Mahatmas. Kumari Kandam is a sunken kingdom sometimes compared with Lemuria.
According to these modernist interpretations of motifs in classical Tamil literature — the
epics Cilappatikaram and Manimekalai that describe the submerged city of Puhar — the
Dravidians originally came from land south of the present day coast of South India that
became submerged by successive floods. There are various claims from Tamil authors that
there was a large land mass connecting Australia and the present day Tamil Nadu coast.
It is interesting to note that Madame Blavatsky described the Lemurians (her third root race)
as being colored black and described the Negroid race, the Dravidians and the Australoids,
Papuans and Melanesians as being descended from them.

prior to the acceptance of continental drift, biologists frequently postulated submerged land
masses in order to account for populations of land-based species now separated by barriers
of water. Similarly, geologists tried to account for striking resemblances of rock formations
on different continents. The first systematic attempt was made by Melchior Neumayr in his
book Erdgeschichte in 1887. Many hypothetical submerged land bridges and continents
were proposed during the 19th century, in order to account for the present distribution of
species.
As Lemuria gained some acceptance within the scientific community, it began to appear in
the works of other scholars. Ernst Haeckel, a German Darwinian taxonomist, proposed
Lemuria as an explanation for the absence of "missing link" fossil records. According to
another source, Haeckel put forward this thesis prior to Sclater (but without using the name
'Lemuria'). Locating the origins of the human species on this lost continent, he claimed the
fossil record could not be found because it had sunk beneath the sea.
Other scientists hypothesized that Lemuria had extended across parts of the Pacific oceans,
explaining distributions of species across Asia and the Americas.
The Lemuria theory disappeared completely from conventional scientific consideration after
the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift were accepted by the larger scientific
community. According to the theory of plate tectonics (which is nowadays the only accepted
paradigm in geology), Madagascar and India were indeed once part of the same landmass
(thus accounting for geological resemblances), but plate movement caused India to break
away millions of years ago, and move to its present location. The original landmass broke
apart - it did not sink beneath the sea level."

128 ..."Lake Toba in Sumatra"...
The Toba eruption (the Toba event) occurred at what is now Lake Toba about 67,500 to
75,500 years ago. It had an estimated Volcanic Explosivity Index of 8 (described as "megacolossal"), making it possibly the largest explosive volcanic eruption within the last twentyfive million years. The total amount of erupted material was about 2800 cubic km (670 cubic
miles) — around 2,000 km³ of ignimbrite that flowed over the ground and around 800 km³
that fell as ash, with the wind blowing most of it to the west.
By contrast, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens ejected around 1.2 cubic km of material,
whilst the largest volcanic eruption in historic times, at Mount Tambora in 1815, emitted the
equivalent of around 100 cubic kilometers of dense rock and created the "Year Without a
Summer" as far away as North America."
The Toba eruption was the latest of a series of at least three calderra-forming eruptions
which have occurred at the volcano. Earlier calderas were formed around 700,000 and
840,000 years ago.
To give an idea of its magnitude, consider that although the eruption took place in Indonesia,
it deposited an ash layer approximately 15 cm (6 in) thick over the entire Indian
subcontinent; at one site in central India, the Toba ash layer today is up to 6 m (20 feet)
thick and parts of Malaysia were covered with 9 m of ashfall. In addition it has been
calculated that 1010 metric tons of sulphuric acid was ejected into the atmosphere by
the event, causing acid rain fallout."

129 "...Mt. Krakatoa..."
"Mt. Krakatoa is a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in
Indonesia. The name is used for the island group, the main island (also called Rakata), and
the volcano as a whole. It has erupted repeatedly, massively, and with disastrous
consequences throughout recorded history. The best known eruption culminated in a series
of massive explosions on August 26-27 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic
events in modern times. With a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 6, it was equivalent to 200
megatonnes of TNT — about 13,000 times the yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 KT),
which devastated Hiroshima, Japan.
The 1883 eruption ejected more than 25 cubic kilometres of rock, ash, and pumice, and
generated the loudest sound historically reported: the cataclysmic explosion was distinctly
heard as far away as Perth in Australia approx. 1,930 miles (3,110 km), and the island of
Rodrigues near Mauritius approx. 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Near Krakatoa, according to
official records, 165 villages and towns were destroyed and 132 seriously damaged, at least
36,417 (official toll) people died, and many thousands were injured by the eruption, mostly
from the tsunamis which followed the explosion.
The eruption destroyed two thirds of the island of Krakatoa. Eruptions at the volcano since
1927 have built a new island in the same location, called Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatoa)."

"A supervolcano is a volcano that produces the largest and most voluminous kinds of
eruption on Earth. The explosivity of such eruptions varies, but the volume of ejected tephra
is enough to radically alter the landscape and severely affect global climate for years,
with cataclysmic consequences for life VEI-8 volcanic events have included eruptions at the
following locations. Estimates of the volume of erupted material are given in parentheses.
• Lake Taupo, North Island, New Zealand - Oruanui eruption 26,500 years ago (1,170
km³)
• Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia - 75,000 years ago (2,800 km³)
• Yellowstone Caldera, Wyoming, United States - 2.2 million years ago (2,500 km³)
and 640,000 years ago (1,000 km³)
• La Garita Caldera, Colorado, United States - Source of the truly enormous eruption
of the Fish Canyon Tuff 27.8 million years ago (~5,000 km³)
The Lake Toba eruption plunged the Earth into a volcanic winter, eradicating an
estimated 60% of the human population (although humans managed to survive, even
in the vicinity of the volcano), and was responsible for the formation of sulfuric acid in
the atmosphere.
Many other supermassive eruptions have also occurred in the geological past."

"Nuclear winter is a hypothetical global climate condition that is predicted to be a possible
outcome of a large-scale nuclear war. It is thought that severely cold weather can be caused
by detonating large numbers of nuclear weapons, especially over flammable targets such as
cities, where large amounts of smoke and soot would be injected into the Earth's
stratosphere. The term has also been applied to one of the after-effects of an
supervolcano eruption.
A global average surface cooling of 7°C to 8°C persists for years, and after a decade the
cooling is still 4°C (Fig. 2). Considering that the global average cooling at the depth of the
last ice age 18,000 yr ago was about 5°C, this would be a climate change unprecedented in
speed and amplitude in the history of the human race. The temperature changes are largest
over land ... Cooling of more than 20°C occurs over large areas of North America and of
more than 30°C over much of Eurasia, including all agricultural regions."

132 "...The global cataclysm that destroyed the dinosaurs..."
"In the past 600 million years there have been five major mass extinctions that on
average extinguished half of all species. The largest mass extinction to have affected life
on Earth was in the Permian-Triassic, which ended the Permian period 250 million years ago
and killed off 90% of all species. The last such mass extinction led to the demise of the
dinosaurs and has been found to have coincided with a large asteroid impact; this is the
CretaceousTertiary extinction event. There is no solid evidence of impacts leading to the
four other major mass extinctions, though a recent report from Ohio State scientists stated
that they have located a 483-km diameter impact crater beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet
which may date back about 250 million years, based on gravity measurements, which might
associate it with the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
In 1980, physicist Luis Alvarez, his son, geologist Walter Alvarez, and nuclear chemists
Frank Asaro and Helen V. Michael from the University of California, Berkeley discovered
unusually high concentrations of iridium, an element that is rare in the Earth's crust but
relatively abundant in many meteorites. From the amount and distribution of iridium present
in the 65 million year old "iridium layer", the Alvarez team later estimated that an asteroid of
1014 kilometers must have collided with the earth. This iridium layer at the KT boundary
has been found worldwide at 100 different sites. Multidirectionally shocked quartz
(coesite), which is only known to form as the result of large impacts or atomic bomb
explosions, has also been found in the same layer at more than 30 sites. Soot and ash at
levels tens of thousands times normal levels were found with the above."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org
"The geologic record of terminal Cretaceous environmental events indicates that iridium and
other associated elements were not deposited instantaneously but during a time interval
spanning some 10,000 to 100,000 years. The available geologic evidence favors a mantle
rather than meteoritic origin for these elements. These results are in accord with the scenario
of a series of intense eruptive volcanic events occurring during a relatively short geologic
time interval and not with the scenario of a single large asteroid impact event."

133 "Atomic explosions cause atmospheric fallout much like that of volcanic
eruptions."
"Oct. 26, 2007 -- New evidence dug from the shores of the Bay of Bengal supports the
radical idea that it was a series of monumental volcanic eruptions that wiped out the
dinosaurs, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. The discovery confirms two important
things, said Keller: First, that the most massive Deccan eruption and the K-T mass extinction
happened at the same time. Second, that the later, final eruption is timed right to have
slowed the recovery of many living things. This latter matter of the slow recovery has long
been a mystery to paleontologists, she said."

"A new statistical study of mass extinctions throughout the history of life on Earth is backing
up the idea that no single meteor, volcanic eruption or other lone gunman is ever to blame,
even in the case of the Cretaceous-Tertiary event that brought the end of dinosaurs 65
million years ago.
Instead, the worst die-offs happen when some sort of interminable, multi-generational
pressure on life is combined with a few powerful blows. It's what is now being called the
press/pulse theory of mass extinctions.
The theory "is essentially a more eloquent way of saying what I and many other
paleontologists have been saying for many years," said Gerta Keller of Princeton University.
"Namely that the impact-kill hypothesis is all wrong. Impacts alone could not have been the
killing mechanism for the K-T or any of the other major mass extinctions."
In the late Cretaceous case massive volcanism — the Deccan Traps eruption in India — and
attendant climate change, coincided with an impact that pushed highly stressed biota over
the brink."

"Looting, sacking, plundering, despoiling, or pillaging is the indiscriminate taking of
goods by force as part of a military or political victory, or during a catastrophe or riot, such as
during war, natural disaster, or rioting. The term is also used in a broader (some would argue
metaphorical) sense, to describe egregious instances of theft and embezzlement, such as
the "plundering" of private or public assets by corrupt or overly greedy corporate executives
or government authorities. The proceeds of all these activities can be described as loot,
plunder, or pillage.
Looting originally referred primarily to the plundering of villages and cities not only by
victorious troops during warfare, but also by civilian members of the community. For
example, see War and Peace, which describes widespread looting by Moscow's citizens
before Napoleon's troops enter the town, and looting by French troops elsewhere; also note
the looting of art treasures by the Nazis during WWII."

139 "...the shift of the poles of the planet...".
"Charles Hapgood first came to public attention in the mid-1950s with his theory of earth
crust displacement, a radical geological idea which attracted the curiosity and support of
253
Albert Einstein. The Einstein-Hapgood correspondence is a forgotten page in the history of
science. Rose and I obtained these letters (ten from Einstein to Hapgood) from Albert
Einstein's Archives in the Fall of 1995. They show, for the first time, just how extensively
Albert Einstein was involved in assisting Charles Hapgood in the development of the theory.
This correspondence is detailed in The Atlantis Blueprint. Here is a brief summary:
In his second reply (24 November 1952) to Hapgood, Einstein wrote that the idea of earth
crust displacement should not be ruled out "apriori" just because it didn't fit with what we
wanted to believe about the earth's past. What was needed, Einstein claimed, was solid
"geological and paleontological facts."
For six months, Hapgood gathered geological evidence to support the idea of an earth crust
displacement. On the 3rd of May 1953 he forwarded thirty-eight pages of this evidence to
Einstein. Central to his argument was Hapgood's evidence that Lesser Antarctica was icefree at the same time that North America lay smothered in ice. Einstein responded (8 May
1953):
"I find your arguments very impressive and have the impression that your hypothesis is
correct. One can hardly doubt that significant shifts of the crust have taken place repeatedly
and within a short time."
He urged Hapgood to follow up on evidence of "earth fractures". A month later (11 June 1953) Hapgood sent Einstein forty-two pages of evidence on earth fractures and
the evolution of the ice sheets.
Einstein wrote (17 December 1953) Hapgood urging him to address the "centrifugal
momentum" problem. Hapgood responded with four pages on this problem and thirty-seven
pages of "paleontological evidence" including the frozen mammoths of Arctic Siberia.
Einstein was now convinced. On the 18th of May 1954, Einstein wrote a very favorable
foreword for Hapgood's book EARTH'S SHIFTING CRUST: A KEY TO SOME BASIC
PROBLEMS OF EARTH SCIENCE (published in 1958 by Pantheon Books, New York). The
Foreword begins:
"I frequently receive communications from people who wish to consult me concerning their
unpublished ideas. It goes without saying that these ideas are very seldom possessed of
scientific validity. The very first communication, however, that I received from Mr. Hapgood
electrified me. His idea is original, of great simplicity, and - if it continues to prove itself of
great importance to everything that is related to the history of the earth's surface. ... I think
that this rather astonishing, even fascinating, idea deserves the serious attention of anyone
who concerns himself with the theory of the earth's development."

"(Robert) Bauval is specifically known for the Orion Correlation Theory (OCT). This proposes
a relationship between the fourth dynasty Egyptian pyramids of the Giza Plateau and the
alignment of certain stars in the constellation of Orion.
One night, while working in Saudi Arabia, he took his family and a friend's family up into the
sand dunes of the Arabian desert for a camping expedition. His friend pointed out Orion, and
mentioned that Mintaka, the smaller more easterly of the stars making up Orion's belt was

offset slightly from the others. Bauval then made a connection between the layout of the
three main stars in Orion's belt and the layout of the three main pyramids in the Giza
necropolis."

"Heliopolis has been occupied since the Predynastic Period, with extensive building
campaigns during the Old and Middle Kingdoms. Today, unfortunately, it is mostly
destroyed, its temples and other buildings having been used for the construction of medieval
Cairo; most information about it comes from textual sources.
According to Diodorus Siculus Heliopolis was built by Actis, one of the sons of Helios and
Rhode, who named the city after his father. While all Greek cities were destroyed during the
flood, the Egyptian cities including Heliopolis survived. The chief deity of Heliopolis was the
god Atum, who was worshipped in the primary temple.
The city was also the original source of the worship of the Ennead pantheon, although in
later times, as Horus gained in prominence, worship focused on the synchrentistic solar deity
Ra-harakhty (literally Ra, (who is) Horus of the Two Horizons).
During the Amarna Period, Pharoah Akhenaten introduced monotheistic worship of Aten, the
deified solar disc. As the capital of Egypt for a period of time, grain was stored in Heliopolis
for the winter months, when many people would descend on the town to be fed, leading to it
gaining the title place of bread. The Book of the Dead goes further and describes how
Heliopolis was the place of multiplying bread, recounting a myth in which Horus feeds the
masses there with only 7 loaves, which is the basis of the Bible New Testament parable."

142 "...Nephilim..."
"The Nephilim were an antediluvian race (pre-flood) race which are referred to in the Bible
as giants.". -- Reference: http://www.nwcreation.net/nephilim.html
"Genesis 6:4 states "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days --and also afterwards--
when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were
the heroes of old, men of renown." The Nephilim were a race of giants that were produced
by the sexual union of the sons of God (presumably fallen angels) and the daughters of men.
Translated from the Hebrew texts, "Nephilim" means "fallen ones." They were renowned for
their strength, prowess, and a great capacity for sinfulness.
The origination of the Nephilim begins with a story of the fallen angels. Shemhazai, an angel
of high rank, led a sect of angels in a descent to earth to instruct humans in righteousness.
The tutelage went on for a few centuries, but soon the angels pined for the human females.
After lusting, the fallen angels instructed the women in magic and conjuring, mated with
them, and produced hybrid offspring: the Nephilim.
The Nephilim were gigantic in stature. Their strength was prodigious and their appetites
immense. Upon devouring all of humankind's resources, they began to consume humans
255
themselves. The Nephilim attacked and oppressed humans and were the cause of massive
destruction on the earth.
Two texts of central import to the story of the Nephilim, the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls,
mention several names for the Nephilim. The diverse kinds of these giants are cited in
several passages. They are variously referred to as Emim, or "Terrors" (Gen. 14:5; Deut.
2:10), Rephaim, or "Weakeners" or "Dead Ones" (2 Sam. 23:13; 1 Chron. 11:15), Gibborim,
or "Giant Heroes" (Job 16:4), Zamzummim, or "Achievers" (Deut. 2:10), Anakim, or "Longnecked" (Deut. 2:10; Josh. 11:22, 14:15), and Awwim or "Devastators" and "Serpents."
Other giants are mentioned in these texts as well, such as Goliath (2 Sam. 21:19), a giant
with twelve fingers and twelve toes who is mentioned as one of the Rephaim (2 Sam. 21:20),
and a tall Egyptian (1 Chron. 11:23). The passage of Numbers 13:26-33 recounts the
Nephilim of Canaan that Joshua and the other Hebrew spies saw. Furthermore, according to
Judaic lore, a certain one of the Nephilim, Arba, built a city, Kiriath Arba, which was named
for its builder and is now known as Hebron.
The wickedness of the Nephilim carried with it a heavy toll. Genesis 6:5 alludes to the
corruption that the Nephilim had caused amongst humans and themselves: "The Lord saw
how great man's wickedness on the earth had become..." Their evil rebellion had incurred
both the wrath and grief of God. God instructed the angel Gabriel to ignite a civil war among
the Nephilim. He also chose Enoch, a righteous man, to inform the fallen angels of the
judgment pronounced on them and their children. God did not allow the fallen angels any
peace, for they could not lift their eyes to heaven and were later to be chained. The end of
the Nephilim came about in the war incited by Gabriel, in which the giants eventually
annihilated each other."

143 "...used cutting tools of highly concentrated light waves and electronic energy..."
"A laser is an electronic-optical device that emits coherent light radiation. The term "laser" is
an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A typical laser emits
light in a narrow, low-divergence monochromatic (single-coloured, if the laser is operating in
the visible spectrum), beam with a well-defined wavelength. In this way, laser light is in
contrast to a light source such as the incandescent light bulb, which emits light over a wide
area and over a wide spectrum of wavelengths.
The first working laser was demonstrated in May 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes
Research Laboratories. Recently, lasers have become a multi-billion dollar industry. The
most widespread use of lasers is in optical storage devices such as compact disc and DVD
players, in which the laser (a few millimeters in size) scans the surface of the disc. Other
common applications of lasers are bar code readers, laser printers and laser pointers.
In industry, lasers are used for cutting steel and other metals and for inscribing patterns
(such as the letters on computer keyboards). Lasers are also commonly used in various
fields in science, especially spectroscopy, typically because of their well-defined wavelength
or short pulse duration in the case of pulsed lasers. Lasers are used by the military for range
finding, target identification and illumination for weapons delivery. Lasers used in medicine
are used for internal surgery and cosmetic applications.
Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is usually used in
industrial manufacturing. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high power laser,
256
by computer, at the material to be cut. The material then either melts, burns, vaporizes
away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish.
Industrial laser cutters are used to cut flat-sheet material as well as structural and piping
materials. Some 6-axis lasers can perform cutting operations on parts that have been preformed by casting or machining."

144 "... Baalbek..."
"The great mystery of the ruins of Baalbek, and indeed one of the greatest mysteries of the
ancient world, concerns the massive foundation stones beneath the Roman Temple of
Jupiter. The courtyard of the Jupiter temple is situated upon a platform, called the Grand
Terrace, which consists of a huge outer wall and a filling of massive stones. The lower
courses of the outer wall are formed of huge, finely crafted and precisely positioned blocks.
They range in size from thirty to thirty three feet in length, fourteen feet in height and ten feet
in depth, and weigh approximately 450 tons each. Nine of these blocks are visible on the
north side of the temple, nine on the south, and six on the west (others may exist but
archaeological excavations have thus far not dug beneath all the sections of the Grand
Terrace). Above the six blocks on the western side are three even larger stones, called the
Trilithon, whose weight exceeds 1000 tons each. These great stones vary in size between
sixty-three and sixty-five feet in length, with a height of fourteen feet six inches and a depth
of twelve feet.
Another even larger stone lies in a limestone quarry a quarter of a mile from the Baalbek
complex. Weighing an estimated 1200 tons, it is sixty-nine feet by sixteen feet by thirteen
feet ten inches, making it the single largest piece of stonework ever crafted in the world.
Called the Hajar el Gouble, the Stone of the South, or the Hajar el Hibla, the Stone of the
Pregnant Woman, it lays at a raised angle with the lowest part of its base still attached to the
quarry rock as though it were almost ready to be cut free and transported to its presumed
location next to the other stones of the Trilithon.
Why these stones are such an enigma to contemporary scientists, both engineers and
archaeologists alike, is that their method of quarrying, transportation and precision
placement is beyond the technological ability of any known ancient or modern builders.
Various scholars, uncomfortable with the notion that ancient cultures might have developed
knowledge superior to modern science, have decided that the massive Baalbek stones were
laboriously dragged from the nearby quarries to the temple site. While carved images in the
temples of Egypt and Mesopotamia do indeed give evidence of this method of block
transportation - using ropes, wooden rollers and thousands of laborers - the dragged blocks
are known to have been only 1/10th the size and weight of the Baalbek stones and to have
been moved along flat surfaces with wide movement paths. The route to the site of Baalbek,
however, is up hill, over rough and winding terrain, and there is no evidence whatsoever of a
flat hauling surface having been created in ancient times.
Next there is the problem of how the mammoth blocks, once they were brought to the site,
were lifted and precisely placed in position. It has been theorized that the stones were raised
using a complex array of scaffolding, ramps and pulleys which was powered by large
numbers of humans and animals working in unison. An historical example of this method has
been suggested as the solution for the Baalbek enigma. The Renaissance architect
Domenico Fontana, when erecting a 327-ton Egyptian obelisk in front of St Peter's Basilica
in Rome, used 40 huge pulleys, which necessitated a combined force of 800 men and 140
horses. The area where this obelisk was erected, however, was a great open space that
257
could easily accommodate all the lifting apparatus and the men and horses pulling on the
ropes. No such space is available in the spatial context of how the Baalbek stones were
placed. Hills slope away from where lifting apparatus would need to have been placed and
no evidence has been found of a flat and structurally firm surface having been constructed
(and then mysteriously removed after the lifting was done). Furthermore, not just one obelisk
was erected but rather a series of giant stones were precisely put in place side-by-side. Due
to the positioning of these stones, there is simply no conceivable place where a huge pulley
apparatus could have been stationed."

145 "...The Domain took over the planet Venus..."
"The second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It is the brightest
natural object in the night sky, except for the Moon, reaching an apparent magnitude of 4.6.
Because Venus is an inferior planet, from Earth it never appears to venture far from the Sun:
its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly
before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it is often called the Morning Star or
the Evening Star.
Classified as a terrestrial planet, it is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet", for the two are
similar in size, gravity, and bulk composition. Venus is covered with an opaque layer of
highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in
visible light; this was a subject of great speculation until some of its secrets were revealed by
planetary science in the twentieth century. Venus has the densest atmosphere of all the
terrestrial planets, consisting mostly of carbon dioxide, as it has no carbon cycle to lock
carbon back into rocks and surface features, nor organic life to absorb it in biomass. It has
become so hot that the earth-like oceans the young Venus is believed to have possessed
have totally evaporated, leaving a dusty dry desert scape with many slab-like rocks. The
evaporated water vapor has dissociated and hydrogen has escaped into interplanetary
space. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 92 times that of the Earth,
the great majority of it carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Venus's surface has been mapped in detail only in the last 20 years; Project Magellan listed
about a thousand meteor craters, a surprisingly low number compared to Earth. It shows
evidence of being geologically very young with extensive volcanism, and the sulfur in the
atmosphere is taken by some experts to show many of its volcanoes are still active today,
but it is an enigma as to why no evidence of lava flow accompanies any of the visible
caldera."
As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Venus has been known since prehistoric times
and as such has gained an entrenched position in human culture. The Babylonians named
the planet Ishtar, the personification of womanhood, and goddess of love.
In western astrology, derived from its historical connotation with goddesses of femininity and
love, Venus is held to influence those aspects of human life. In Indian Vedic astrology,
Venus is known as Shukra, meaning "clear, pure" or "brightness, clearness" in Sanskrit.

146 "... There are a few life forms on Earth that can endure an atmospheric
environment like Venus..."
"There are many different classes of extremophiles, each corresponding to the way its
environmental niche. Many extremophiles fall under multiple categories. For example:
• Acidophile: An organism with an optimum pH level at or below pH 3.
• Alkaliphile: An organism with optimal growth at pH levels of 9 or above.
• Endolith: An organism that lives in microscopic spaces within rocks, such as pores
between aggregate grains. These may also be called cryptoendoliths. This term also

in the deep subsurface.
• Halophile: An organism requiring at least 2M of salt, NaCl, for growth.
• Hyperthermophile: An organism that can thrive at temperatures between 80-121 °C,
such as those found in hydrothermal systems.
• Hypolith: An organism that lives inside rocks in cold deserts.
• Lithoautotroph: An organism (usually bacteria) whose sole source of carbon is
carbon dioxide and exergonic inorganic oxidation (chemolithotrophs) such as
Nitrosomonas europaea. These organisms are capable of deriving energy from
reduced mineral compounds like pyrites, and are active in geochemical cycling and
the weathering of parent bedrock to form soil.
• Metalotolerant: capable of tolerating high levels of dissolved heavy metals in
solution, such as copper, cadmium, arsenic, and zinc. Examples include
Ferroplasma sp. and Ralstonia metallidurans.
• Oligotroph: An organism capable of growth in nutritionally limited environments.
• Osmophile: An organism capable of growth in environments with a high sugar
concentration.
• Piezophile: An organism that lives optimally at high hydrostatic pressure. Common
in the deep terrestrial subsurface, as well as in oceanic trenches.
• Polyextremophile: An organism that qualifies as an extremophiles under more than
one category.
• Psychrophile/Cryophile: An organism that grows better at temperatures of 15 °C or
lower. Common in cold soils, permafrost, polar ice, cold ocean water, and in/under
alpine snowpack.
• Radioresistant: resistant to high levels of ionizing radiation, most commonly
ultraviolet radiation but also includes organisms capable of resisting nuclear
radiation.
• Thermophile: An organism that can thrive at temperatures between 60-80 °C.
• Xerophile: An organism that can grow in extremely dry, desiccating conditions. This
type is exemplified by the soil microbes of the Atacama Desert.
Relative to the majority of the deep sea extremophiles, the areas around submarine
hydrothermal vents are biologically more productive, often hosting complex communities
fueled by the chemicals dissolved in the vent fluids, supporting diverse organisms, including
giant tube worms, clams, and shrimp.
The water emerges from a hydrothermal vent at temperatures ranging up to 400°C,
compared to a typical 2°C for the surrounding deep ocean water. The high pressure at these
depths significantly expands the thermal range at which water remains liquid, and so the
259
water doesn't boil. Water at a depth of 3,000 m and a temperature of 407°C becomes
supercritical
One community has been discovered dubbed 'Eel City', which consists predominantly of
eels. Though eels are not uncommon, as mentioned earlier invertebrates typically dominate
hydrothermal vents. Eel City is located near Nafanua volcanic cone, American Samoa.
Other examples of the unique fauna who inhabit this ecosystem are a snail armored with
scales made up of iron and organic materials, and the Pompeii worm (Alvinella Pompejana),
which is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 80°C (176°F). Over 300 new
species have been discovered at hydrothermal vents.
Active hydrothermal vents are believed to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, and ancient
hydrothermal vents have been speculated to exist on Mars."

147 "... asteroid belt..."
"The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of
the planets Mars and Jupiter. It is occupied by numerous irregularly shaped bodies called
asteroids or minor plarnets. The asteroid belt region is also termed the main belt to
distinguish it from other concentrations of minor planets within the Solar System, such as the
Kuiper belt and scattered disk.
More than half the mass within the main belt is contained in the four largest objects: Ceres,
4 Vesta, 2 Pallas, and 10 Hygiea. All of these have mean diameters of more than 400 km,
while Ceres, the main belt's only dwarf planet, is about 950 km in diameter. The remaining
bodies range down to the size of a dust particle. The asteroid material is so thinly
distributed that multiple unmanned spacecraft have traversed it without incident."

148 "... Tiahuanaco..."
"Tiwanaku monumental architecture is characterized by large stones of exceptional
workmanship. In contrast to the masonry style of the later Inca, Tiwanaku stone
architecture usually employs rectangular ashlar blocks laid in regular courses, and
monumental structures were frequently fitted with elaborate drainage systems.
Bronze or copper "double-T" clamps were often used to anchor large blocks in place.
The stone used to build Tiwanaku was quarried and then transported 40 km or more
to the city. They were moved without the aid of the wheel, though much of the distance was
over water.
The community grew to urban proportions (in antiquity) becoming an important regional
power in the southern Andes. Satellite imaging was used recently to map the extent of
fossilized suka kollus across the three primary valleys of Tiwanaku, arriving at populationcarrying capacity estimates of anywhere between 285,000 and 1,482,000 people.
They worshipped many gods, and one of the most important gods was Viracocha, the
god of action, shaper of many worlds, and destroyer of many worlds. He created
260
people, with two servants, on a great piece of rock. Then he drew sections on the rock
and sent his servants to name the tribes in those areas. In Tiwanaku he created the people
out of rock and brought life to them through the earth. The Tiwanaku believed that
Viracocha created giants to move the massive stones that comprise much of their
archeology, but then grew unhappy with the giants and created a flood to destroy them."

"Ollantaytambo is a town in southern Peru, located in the district of Ollantaytambo, province
of Urubamba, Cusco region. It is approximately 60 km to the northwest of the city of Cusco,
situated at an altitude of 2792 meters above sea level.
The city of Ollantaytambo is best known for its ruins, and for the spot where the Inca
emperor Manco Inca was able to defeat the Spanish in a set-piece battle. The finely cut
rocks and plantation terraces were very large obstacles for the Conquistadors to
surpass, and the fortress was also used by Manco to conduct successful attacks on
Francisco Pizarro and other Conquistadors who were based in Lima."

150 "... Machupiccu ..."
Machu Picchu (Quechua: Machu Picchu, "Old Peak") is a pre-Columbian Inca site located
2,400 meters (7,875 ft) above sea level. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the
Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 km (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco. Often referred to as
"The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca
Empire.
One theory maintains that Machu Picchu was an Inca "llacta": a settlement built to control
the economy of the conquered regions. It may also have been built as a prison for the
selective few who had commited such henous crimes against the Inca society. Research
conducted by scholars, such as John Rowe and Richard Burger, has convinced most
archaeologists that rather than a defensive retreat, Machu Picchu was an estate of the Inca
emperor, Pachacuti. In addition, Johan Reinhard presented evidence that the site was
selected based on its position relative to sacred landscape features. One such example is its
mountains, which are purported to be in alignment with key astronomical events.
Shamanic legends say that if you're a sensitive person and you rub your forehead against
the world-famous Intihuatana Stone you will see the spirit world. The Intihuatana stone is
one of the many ritual stones in South America. They are arranged so they point directly at
the sun during the winter solstice. The Spanish did not find Machu Picchu until the 20th
century so the Intihuatana Stone was not destroyed like many other ritual stones. It is also
called "The Hitching Point of the Sun" because it was supposed to hold the sun in it's place.
It is (as they said before) believed to be an astronomic clock built by the Incas."

"The temple of Pachacamac is an archaeological site 40 km southeast of Lima, Peru in the
Valley of the Lurín River. It had at least one pyramid. They used Pachacamac as primarily
a religious site for the veneration of the Pacha Kamaq creator god. The Ichma joined the
Inca empire and Pachacamac became an important administrative center.
However the Inca maintained it as a religious shrine and allowed the Pachacamac priests to
continue functioning independently of the Inca priesthood. This included the oracle, whom
the Inca presumably consulted. The Inca built five additional buildings, including a temple to
the Sun on the main square."

152 "... an electronic, light-wave emitting stone cutter and carving tools..."
"There are various laser cutting tools depending on the type of finished product that you
prefer. Laser cutter routers that are computer-driven can cut each letter precisely, capturing
every detail of the selected style. The said manufacturing systems are useful in cutting out
symbols and logos in a cost effective manner.
Laser that is in a solid state uses one crystal rod with flat and parallel ends. Both ends have
surfaces that have the ability to reflect. A light source that has high density and a flash tube
surrounds the crystal.
When power is given by the network of pulse-forming, an intense light pulse called photon is
released in one of the rod crystals. The light released is one wavelength and allows for
minimum divergence.
A hundred percent of laser light is reflected on the rear mirror while thirty to fifty percent will
pass through the mirror then to the shutter assembly to the angled mirror before going down
through the lens and then to the work piece.
The laser light beam is not only coherent but also has high energy content. When it is
focused on the surface, the laser light creates heat used for welding, drilling, and cutting.
The laser beam and the work piece is manipulated through the use of robotics. It can be
adjusted to different sizes and heat intensity. The smaller laser is used for drilling, cutting,
and welding while the larger machines are used in off giving heat."

153 "The "great" pyramid..."
"A total of over 2,300,000 blocks of limestone and granite were used in its construction with
the average block weighing 2.5 tons and none weighing less than 2 tons. The large blocks
used in the ceiling of the King's Chamber weigh as much as 9 tons.
• Construction date (Estimated): 2589 B.C..
• Construction time (Estimated): 20 years.
• Total weight (Estimated): 6.5 million tons.
• The estimated total weight of the structure is 6.5 million tons!
262
• The base of the pyramid covers 13 acres, 568,500 square feet and the length of
each side was originally 754 feet, but is now 745 feet.
• The original height was 481 feet tall, but is now only 449 feet.
The distance when Earth is closest to Sun (perihelion) is 147x106
km, which is translated
into royal cubits 280x109
, hinting at the height of the Great pyramid, 280 royal cubits.
The earth/moon relationship is the only one in our solar system that contains this unique
golden section ratio that "squares the circle". Along with this is the phenomenon that the
moon and the sun appear to be the same size, most clearly noticed during an eclipse. This
too is true only from earth's vantage point…No other planet/moon relationship in our solar
system can make this claim.
Although the problem of squaring the circle was proven mathematically impossible in the
19th century (as pi, being irrational, cannot be exactly measured), the Earth, the moon, and
the Great Pyramid, are all coming about as close as you can get to the solution!
If the base of the Great Pyramid is equated with the diameter of the earth, then the radius of
the moon can be generated by subtracting the radius of the earth from the height of the
pyramid.
The height of the Great Pyramid times 2π exactly equals the perimeter of the pyramid. This
proportions result from elegant design of the pyramid with the height equal two diameters of
a circle and the base equal to the circumference of the circle.
The Pyramid of the Sun and the Great Pyramid of Egypt are almost or very nearly equal
to one another in base perimeter. The Pyramid of the Sun is "almost" half the height of the
Great Pyramid. There is a slight difference. The Great Pyramid is 1.03 - times larger than the
base of the Pyramid of the Sun. Conversely, the base of the Pyramid of the Sun is 97% of
the Great Pyramid's base."

154 "... Pyramid texts."
"The Pyramid Texts are a collection of ancient Egyptian religious texts from the time of the
Old Kingdom, mostly inscriptions on the walls of tombs in pyramids. They depict the
Egyptian view of the afterlife, and the ascent into the sky of the divine Pharaoh after death.
They were written upwards of five thousand years ago; thus, they are some of the oldest
known writings in the world.
The Pyramid Texts are also the oldest collection of religious spells known to us from ancient
Egypt. This collection forms the basis of much of the later religious theology and literature of
ancient Egypt. The passages were eventually separated and categorized, as well as
illustrated and eventually evolved into the Book of the Dead, or more properly, The Book of
the Coming forth by Day.
It is difficult to date the Pyramid Texts. Their origins have aroused much speculation
regarding their origin because they emerge, as a fully-fledged collection of mortuary texts,
without any precedent in the archaeological record. The fact that the texts are made up of
distinct utterances which do not have a strict narrative sequence linking them together has
led scholars to believe that many of them were not composed specifically for the purpose of
263
being inscribed in the pyramids but may have had earlier uses. In fact, spells such as
Utterances 273-4, called the Cannibal Hymn, and which only appears in the Pyramids of
Unas and Teti, refer to aspects of the funerary cult that seem to no longer been in practice at
the time the pyramids were built.
Early analysts attempted to date the text as early as possible; even from the predynastic
period. A very early dating of these texts remains a strong possibility, though today, scholars
place the text's origins with the date of the monuments where they reside. In reality, we have
very little idea of the date of their initial invention, perhaps other than the antiquated
language employed."

masses of Earth..."
"The Great Pyramid (the Pyramid of Khufu, or Cheops in Greek) at Gizeh, Egypt,
demonstrates the remarkable character of its placement on the face of the Earth. The
Pyramid lies in the center of gravity of the continents. It also lies in the exact center of all the
land area of the world, dividing the earth's land mass into approximately equal quarters.
The north-south axis (31 degrees east of Greenwich) is the longest land meridian, and the
east-west axis (30 degrees north) is the longest land parallel on the globe. There is
obviously only one place that these longest land-lines of the terrestrial earth can cross, and it
is at the Great Pyramid!"

"The Hall of Truth in Light" (in the Great Pyramid) are an extension of the upward passage
way (which) opens as a Grand Gallery. Other interior features include: a Great Step; a lower
Queen's chamber; an upper King's chamber with an open tomb which was never used for
burial; and, two passage ways which actually pinpoint Sirius and Ainitak in the "belt" of the
Orion Constellation -- the other two precisely point to Thuban in the Draco Constellation
which was the old North Star at the time of the Pyramid's supposed construction and the
present North Star.

264
Alnitak is a double star system. Alnitak A is a blue O9.7Ib supergiant star about 15 times the
diameter of the sun, at least 11,000 times more luminous than the sun.
Thuban is another name for the star is Adib from the Arabic Al Dhi'bah, "The Hyenas". A
number of stars in the constellation of Draco. According to Allen, seamen were accustomed
to call Thuban "The Dragon's Tail." Thuban is a white A0III giant having a luminosity about
260 times that of the sun. Spectral analysis indicates that Thuban has a companion star
orbiting with a 51.4 day period.
Sirius is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its
constellation, Canis Major. It is the subject of more mythological and folkloric tales than any
other star apart from the sun. The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in
Ancient Egypt and the 'Dog Days' of summer
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky with a visual apparent magnitude of 1.47, almost
twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star. What appears as a single star to the
naked eye is actually a binary star system, consisting of Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf
companion of spectral type DA2, termed Sirius B.
Sirius is bright due to both its intrinsic luminosity and its closeness to the Sun. At a distance
of 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years), the Sirius system is one of our near neighbors. Sirius A is
about twice as massive as the Sun and has an absolute visual magnitude of 1.42. It is 25
times more luminous than the Sun.
Sirius is recorded in the earliest astronomical records, known in Ancient Egypt as Sopdet
(Greek: Sothis). During the era of the Middle Kingdom, Egyptians based their calendar on
the heliacal rising of Sirius, namely the day it becomes visible just before sunrise after
moving far enough away from the glare of the sun. This occurred just before the annual
flooding of the Nile and the summer solstice, after a 70 day absence from the skies. The
hieroglyph for Sothis features a star and a triangle. Sothis was identified with the great
goddess Isis who formed a part of a trinity with her husband Osiris and their son Horus,
while the 70 day period symbolized the passing of Isis and Osiris though the duat (Egyptian
underworld).
North Star, also known as the Pole Star, is the star that lies closest in the sky to the north
celestial pole, and which appears directly overhead to an observer at the Earth's North Pole.
The current North Star is Polaris, which lies about two-thirds of a degree from the pole at the
end of the "handle" of the Little Dipper asterism in the constellation Ursa Minor. Polaris has a
visual magnitude of 1.97 (second magnitude). (Some people mistakenly think that Polaris is
the brightest star in the night sky. This title belongs to Sirius, and there are many others
stars also brighter than Polaris.)
Due to the precession of the equinoxes the direction of the Earth's axis is very slowly but
continuously changing, and as the projection of the Earth's axis moves around the celestial
sphere over the millennia, the role of North Star passes from one star to another. Since the
precession of the equinoxes is so slow, a single star typically holds that title for many
centuries.
In 3000 BC the faint star Thuban in the constellation Draco was the North Star. At
magnitude 3.67 (fourth magnitude) it is only one-fifth as bright as Polaris, the current North
Star (situated 430 light-years away).

158 " The human pharaoh moved the Capital city of Egypt from Memphis to
Heracleopolis".
"Heracleopolis was the main city of Egypt during a turbulent time in our history, the First
Intermediate Period. Details are not clear, but apparently when the VIth dynasty ended, the
rulers who followed were too weak to rule the whole land. Akhtoy, the local nomarch,
declared independence from Memphis, and when the last Memphite pharaoh died childless,
he declared himself god-king of the Two Lands and founder of the IXth dynasty. All of Middle
Egypt and part of the eastern Nile Delta submitted to Akhtoy's authority. Akhmin, in the 9th
nome, became the southern boundary between those who supported Akhtoy and those who
opposed him.
In Upper Egypt there were at least three governors who refused to acknowledge the new
order: those of Thinis, Wast (Thebes) and Nekhen (Hierakonopolis). For a long time they
fought among themselves, because chaos always reigns where there is no central authority.
Finally one of them, Inyotef II of Wast, prevailed against the others; the nomarchs of Asyut
now became the defenders of the dignity of the Heracleopolitan kings. The IXth dynasty was
succeeded by the Xth at home, and for more than sixty years the line was held at Akhmin,
despite frequent raids from both sides. Finally the grandson of Inyotef, Mentuhotep II,
captured Asyut; once that happened he quickly marched downstream and overthrew the Xth
dynasty. That marked the reunification of Egypt and the beginning of the Middle Kingdom.
Heracleopolis was never as important afterwards, though it marked the site of a key fortress
in the XXIInd dynasty, built by the second son of Osorkon II."

159 "... when Atlantis fell..."
"Plato's reference to Egypt as the source of the Atlantis myth, via Solon. The Egyptians
called Atlantis Kepchu, which also happens to be their name for the people of Crete. It is
speculated that survivors of the Minoan volcanic disaster asked Egypt for help, since they
were the only other civilization with high culture at the time.
Plato described quarries on the island of Atlantis where "rocks of white, black, and red" were
extracted from the hills and used to construct a great island city. The description matches
the rocks found on Santorini.
The island-city of Atlantis was described as being laid out in a series of concentric circles of
land and water, each one connected to the sea by a deep canal. Docks for a huge number of
ships, and a causeway for unloading cargo of said ships, also was described. Unearthed
frescos from the island have depicted Santorini with a configuration that can be interpreted in
this way. It also shows a huge city on the island, theorized by archaeologists to represent the
center of the caldera.
266
At Akrotiri there are multi-story buildings. This city may have had the earliest form of town
planning (structured assembly of interconnecting roads and paths) ever discovered, again,
with fresh running water and toilets in each house leading to a sewer system. Many such
sites now have been unearthed, both on Crete and Santorini."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org (See "Santorini")
160 "... the Egyptians., who called "Atlantis" Kepchu, which also happens to be their
name for the people of Crete."
"Minoan civilization disappeared suddenly, at the height of its wealth and power. This also
was similar to Plato's description of the fate of the "Atlanteans". Scientists theorize that
multiple tsunamis hit the island of Crete, circa 1500 BC, which came from the direction of the
island of Santorini (then called Thera) about 100 miles from Crete.
Santorini is the site of a massive caldera with an island at its center. Vulcanologists have
determined this ill-fated island was engulfed by the terrible ca. 1500 BC eruption and
collapse of the Stroggilí volcano there, which affected the entire eastern Mediterranean, as
far away as the Near East—possibly the most powerful eruption in recorded history, ejecting
approximately 30 km³ (7 cu miles) of magma, up to 36 km (23 miles) high. Volcanic events of
this magnitude are known to generate tsunamis."

161 "... the exact geodetic center of Egypt..."
"Five years into the co-regency, Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten and left
Thebes to establish a new Egyptian capital city, which he called Akhetaten (meaning the
resting place or horizon of the Aten). The change in name indicated that he no longer
considered himself to be the son of the god Amun, but of Aten. On the monuments marking
the four corners of the new city, Akhenaten referred to the hateful words spoken about him
and his forefathers by the priests of Amun. Obviously, he had hoped that the city of
Akhetaten would be his resting place as well.
At the city of Akhetaten, the ancient religion of the Aten received a make-over. Aten temple
design, ritual, and symbolism (by a falcon-headed man and a sun disc referred to as ReHerakhty) derived originally from the traditional solar god Ra whose center of worship had
been from very ancient times at Memphis and On (Heliopolis). By the end of the coregency,
the falcon-man had been removed from the Aten's symbol. The Aten had in essence
become a god without human or animal image. The disc of the sun was now considered to
be the single physical representation of the invisible and eternal god, Ra, and a deity in its
own right. (The sun disc was used later as a royal "lamelech" seal by the Kings of Judah).
The cartouche of Akhenaten's god and heavenly father, the Aten, bore the name Imram. In
the Bible, Moses is referred to as the son of Amram, the Hebrew equivalent.
The name of the Egyptian deity Aten transliterates into the Hebrew word Adon. Adon,
which is translated by English Bibles as "the Lord" (and Adonai, translated as "my Lord") is
used along with Jehovah (Yhwh) in the Bible as the exclusive personal names of God.
Moreover, in ancient times, the name Jehovah (Yhwh) was written, but never spoken.
Whenever the written name Jehovah (Yhwh) was to be read out loud, Adon (Aten) was
voiced instead. The written form of Adon is infrequent, however, its limited usage is
significant, especially in the first six books of the Bible (See under "LORD" in Strong's
267
Exhaustive Concordance), where it is reserved for the following applications alone: Moses
addresses God using the title Adon/Aten (Exodus 4:10,13; 5:22; 34:9; Numbers 14:17;
Deuteronomy 3:23; 7:26; 10:17); Moses, himself, is addressed both by Aaron
(Ex.32:22; Num.12:11) and by Joshua (Numbers 11:28) using the title Adon/Aten; and
Joshua also addresses God using the title Adon/Aten (Joshua 5:14 b; 7:7). As
mentioned above, there is an established relationship between the literature of the Egyptian
18th Dynasty and the Bible. Psalm 104 is an embellishment of the Hymn to the Aten which
was found by archaeologists at the city of Akhetaten.
The religious reforms of Akhenaten included the rejection of traditional Egyptian magic and
astrology associated with the cult of Amun, and the rejection of the cult of Osiris with its
version of belief in eternal judgment and the afterlife as well. The site chosen for the new
capital of Egypt further demonstrated Akhenaten's desire for a new balance as it was
located at the exact geodetic center of the country."

162 "... the destruction of Troy as the finale of the Trojan War."
"In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans
after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta. The war is
among the most important events in Greek mythology, and was narrated in many works of
Greek literature, including the Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer. The Iliad relates a part of the
last year of the siege of Troy, while the Odyssey describes the journey home of Odysseus,
one of the Achaean leaders. Other parts of the war were told in a cycle of epic poems, which
has only survived in fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy
and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets like Virgil and Ovid.
The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, after
Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, gave them a golden apple, sometimes known as the
Apple of Discord, marked "for the fairest". The goddesses went to Paris, who judged that
Aphrodite, as the "fairest", should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen,
the most beautiful of all women, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Agamemnon,
king of Mycenae and the brother of Helen's husband Menelaus, led an expedition of
Achaean troops to Troy and besieged the city for ten years. After the deaths of many heroes,
including the Achaeans Achilles and Ajax, and the Trojans Hector and Paris, the city fell to
the ruse of the Trojan Horse. The Achaeans slaughtered the Trojans and desecrated the
temples, thus earning the gods' wrath. Few of the Achaeans returned safely to their homes
and many founded colonies in distant shores. The Romans later traced their origin to
Aeneas, one of the Trojans, who was said to have led the surviving Trojans to Italy.
The Ancient Greeks thought the Trojan War was a historical event that had taken place in
the 13th or 12th century BC, and believed that Troy was located in modern day Turkey near
the Dardanelles. By modern times both the war and the city were widely believed to be nonhistorical. In 1870, however, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated a
site in this area which he identified as Troy; this claim is now accepted by most scholars
The Trojan War derive from a specific historical conflict usually date it to the 12th or 11th
centuries BC, often preferring the dates given by Eratosthenes, 11941184 BC, which
roughly corresponds with archaeological evidence of a catastrophic burning of Troy."

163 "Homer, the blind Greek poet..."
"Homer (ancient Greek: µηρος, Homēros) was an ancient Greek (Ionian) epic poet,
traditionally considered the author of the epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. No reliable
biographical information about Homer survives from classical antiquity. The cardinal
qualities of the style of Homer have been well articulated by Matthew Arnold: "the translator
of Homer," he says, "should above all be penetrated by a sense of the four qualities of his
author: that he is eminently rapid; that he is eminently plain and direct, both in the evolution
of his thought and in the expression of it, that is, both in his syntax and in his words; that he
is eminently plain and direct in the substance of his thought, that is, in his matter and ideas;
and finally, that he is eminently noble".
The language used by Homer is an archaic version of Ionic Greek, with admixtures from
certain other dialects, such as Aeolic Greek. It later served as the basis of Epic Greek, the
language of epic poetry, typically in dactylic hexameter.
A number of traditions hold that he was blind (perhaps because, in the Aeolian dialect of
Cyme, homēros bore this meaning) and that he was born on the island of Chios, at Smyrna
or elsewhere in Ionia, where various cities vied in claiming him as one of their native sons.
The characterization of Homer as a blind bard is supported by a possibly self-referential
passage in the Odyssey in which a shipwrecked Odysseus listens to the tales of a blind bard
named Demodocus while in the court of the Phaeacian king."

164 "Solon, a wise man from Greece reported the existence of Atlantis.."
"Solon was a famous Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and Lyric poet. The travel writer,
Pausanias, listed Solon among the Seven Sages of the ancient world. Solon has acquired a
place in history and in folklore through his efforts to legislate against political, economic and
moral decline in archaic Athens. Some of his reforms failed in the short term, yet he is often
credited with having laid the foundations for Athenian democracy.
After he had finished reforming the country, Solon traveled abroad. His first stop was Egypt.
There he visited Heliopolis, where he discussed philosophy with an Egyptian expert on the
subject, Psenophis. Subsequently, at Sais, he visited Neith's temple and received from
the priests there an account of the history of Atlantis. Solon wrote out this history as
a poem, to which Plato subsequently made references in his dialogues Timaios and
Critias. Next Solon sailed to Cyprus, where he oversaw the construction of a new capital for
a local king, in gratitude for which the king named it Soloi."

Mazda (who is aša), creation (that is aša), existence (that is aša) and Free Will, which is

humankind, like that of all other creation, is to sustain aša. For humankind, this occurs
through active participation in life and the exercise of good thoughts, words and deeds.
269
The name Zoroaster was famous in classical antiquity, and a number of different Zoroasters
- all described as having occult powers - appear in historiographic accounts.
In Plinys Natural History, Zoroaster is said to have laughed on the day of his birth. He lived
in the wilderness and enjoyed exploring it from a young age. Plutarch compares him with
Lycurgus and Numa Pompilius (Numa, 4). Plutarch, drawing partly on Theopompus, speaks
of Zoroaster in Isis and Osiris: In this work, the prophet is empowered by trust in his God and
the protection of his allies. He faces outward opposition and unbelief, and inward doubt.
The works of Zoroaster had a significant influence on Greek philosophy and Roman
philosophy. The ancient Greek writer Eudoxus of Cnidus and the Latin writer Pliny the Elder
praised Zoroasters philosophy as “the most famous and most useful.” Plato learnt of
Zoroasters philosophy through Eudoxus and incorporated some of it into his own Platonic
realism. In the third century BC, however, Colotes accused Platos The Republic of
plagiarizing parts of (what is attributed to) Zoroasters On Nature, such as the Myth of Er.
Platos contemporary, Heraclides Ponticus, wrote a text called Zoroaster based on
Zoroasters philosophy in order to express his disagreement with Plato on natural
philosophy.
Zoroaster was mentioned by the nineteenth-century poet William Butler Yeats. His wife and
he were said to have claimed to have contacted Zoroaster through “automatic writing.”
The 2005 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy places Zoroaster first in a
chronology of philosophers."

166 "... an IS-BE called Ahura Mazda."
"Ahura Mazda (Ahura Mazdā) is the Avestan language name for a divinity exalted by
Zoroaster as the one uncreated Creator, hence God. He is the nameless "Father Asura",
that is, Varuna of the Rigveda. In this view, Zoroastrian mazda is the equivalent of the Vedic
medhira, described in Rigveda 8.6.10 as the "(revealed) insight into the cosmic order".
Ahura Mazda is seen as the Ahura par excellence, superior to both *vouruna and *mitra, and
the nameless "Father Asura" of the Rigveda and is a distinct divinity. The Zoroastrian faith
is thus described by its adherents as Mazdayasna, the worship of Mazda. In the Avesta,
"Ahura Mazda is the highest object of worship".

167 "Laozi, a philosopher who wrote a small book called "The Way"..."
"According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the Taoist sage Laozi (or Lao
Tzu, "Old Master"), a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court, by whose name the text is
known in China. Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text. Its name comes from the opening
words of its two sections:  dào "way," and dé "virtue".
This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not only for Taoism (Dàojiāo ) but
Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through
the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters,
270
calligraphers, and even gardeners have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its
influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, aided by hundreds of translations into
Western languages."
Tao is nameless. (Tao) goes beyond distinctions, and transcends language.
Laozi describes a state of existence before time or space:
"The Way that can be told of is not an unvarying way;
The names that can be named are not unvarying names.
It was from the Nameless that heaven and Earth sprang;
The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand creatures.
Each after its kind."
"The Spirit never dies.
It is the Mysterious Female.
The doorway of the Mysterious Female
Is the base from which Heaven and Earth sprang.
It is there within us, all the while;
Draw upon it as you will.
It never runs dry.
We put spokes together and call it a wheel;
But it is on the space where there is nothing that the value of the wheel depends.
We turn clay to make a vessel;
But it is on the space where there is nothing that the value of the vessel depends.
We pierce doors and windows to make a house;
And it is on these spaces where there is nothing that the value of the house
depends.
Therefore just as we take advantage of what is,
we should recognize the value of what is not.
Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self requires strength;
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.
He who stays where he is, endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present."
Many believe the Tao Te Ching contains universal truths that have been independently
recognized in other philosophies, both religious and secular."

168 "...Genesis..."
"Genesis (Greek: "birth", "origin") is the first book of the Bible of Judaism and of Christianity,
and the first of five books of the Pentateuch or Torah.
"1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters
were born to them,
271
2 that the "sons of God" saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives
for themselves, whomever they chose.
3 Then Yaweh said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh;
nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the "sons of God"
came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty
men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then Yaweh saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

169 "... Omphalos stones..."
"An omphalos is an ancient religious stone artifact, or baetylusr. In Greek, the word
omphalos means "navel" (compare the name of Queen Omphale). According to the ancient
Greeks, Zeus sent out two eagles to fly across the world to meet at its center, the "navel" of
the world. Omphalos stones used to denote this point were erected in several areas
surrounding the Mediterranean Sea; the most famous of those was at the oracle in Delphi.
Most accounts locate the Omphalos in the temple adyton near the Pythia. The stone itself
(which may have been a copy) has a carving of a knotted net covering its surface, and has a
hollow centre, which widens towards its base
The Omphalos at Delphi came to be identified as the stone which Rhea wrapped in
swaddling clothes, pretending it was Zeus. This was to deceive Cronus, his father, who
swallowed his children so they could not grow up and depose him as he had deposed his
own father, Uranus. Omphalos stones were said to allow direct communication with
"the gods".

170 "...Python, the serpent..."
"In Greek mythology Python, serpent, was the earth-dragon of Delphi, always represented
in sculpture and vase-paintings as a serpent. She resided at the Delphic oracle, which
existed in the cult center for her mother, Gaia, Earth, Pytho being the place name. The site
was considered the center of the earth, represented by a stone, the omphalos or navel,
which Python guarded. Pytho became the enemy of the later Olympian deity Apollo, who
slew her and remade her former home and the oracle, the most famous in Classical Greece,
as his own. Many pictures show the serpent Python guarding the Omphalos, the sacred
navel-stone and mid-point of the earth, which stood in Apollo's temple".

171 "...Cyrus II of Persia..."
Cyrus the Great (c. 590 BC or 576 — August 529 BC or 530 BC), also known as Cyrus II
of Persia and Cyrus the Elder, was a Persian emperor. He was the founder of the Persian
272
Empire under the Achaemenid dynasty. The empire expanded under his rule, eventually
conquering most of Southwest Asia and much of Central Asia, from Egypt and the
Hellespont in the west to the Indus River in the east, to create the largest state the world
had yet seen.
During his twenty-nine year reign, Cyrus fought against some of the greatest states of his
time, including the Median Empire, the Lydian Empire, and the Neo-Babylonian Empire.
Cyrus did not venture into Egypt, as he himself died in battle, fighting the Massagetae along
the Syr Darya in August 530 BC. He was succeeded by his son, Cambyses II, who
managed to conquer Egypt during his short rule.
Beyond his nation, Cyrus left a lasting legacy on Jewish religion (through his Edict of
Restoration), politics, and military strategy, as well as on both Eastern and Western
civilization.
The only known example of his religious policy is his treatment of the Jews in Babylon. The
Bible records that a remnant of the Jewish population returned to the Promised Land from
Babylon, following an edict from Cyrus to rebuild the temple. This edict is fully reproduced in
the Book of Ezra. As a result of Cyrus' policies, the Jews honored him as a dignified
and righteous king. He is the only Gentile to be designated as a messiah, a divinelyappointed king, in the Tanakh (Isaiah 45:1-6).
Some contemporary Muslim scholars have suggested that the Qur'anic figure of DhulQarnayn is Cyrus the Great. This theory was proposed by Sunni scholar Abul Kalam Azad
and endorsed by Shi'a scholars Allameh Tabatabaei, in his Tafsir al-Mizan and Makarem
Shirazi and Sunni scholar Abul Ala Maududi.
During his reign, Cyrus maintained control over a vast region of conquered kingdoms,
achieved partly through retaining and expanding Median satrapies. Cyrus' conquests
began a new era in the age of empire building, where a vast superstate, comprising
many dozens of countries, races, religions, and languages, were ruled under a single
administration headed by a central government.
In 1992, he was ranked #87 on Michael H. Hart's list of the most influential figures in history.
On December 10, 2003, in her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize, Shirin Ebadi evoked
Cyrus, saying:
"I am an Iranian, a descendant of Cyrus the Great. This emperor proclaimed at the
pinnacle of power 2,500 years ago that he 'would not reign over the people if they did
not wish it.' He promised not to force any person to change his religion and faith and
guaranteed freedom for all. The Charter of Cyrus the Great should be studied in the
history of human rights."
Many of the forefathers of the United States of America sought inspiration from Cyrus the
Great through works such as Cyropaedia. Thomas Jefferson, for example, had two personal
copies of the book, "which was a mandatory read for statesmen alongside Machiavelli's The
Prince."
In a recent segment of ABC's Nightline with Ted Koppel, Ted Koppel mentioned Cyrus the
Great, when he was talking about the new documentary film being made in his honor, and
had this to say of him:
273
“Cyrus the Great is genuinely one of history's towering figures. America's own
founders such as Thomas Jefferson were influenced by Cyrus the Great in the field of
Human Rights.”

172 "... unique system of organization used by Cyrus II..."
"During his reign, Cyrus maintained control over a vast region of conquered kingdoms,
achieved partly through retaining and expanding Median satrapies. Further organization of
newly conquered territories into provinces ruled by vassal kings called satraps, was
continued by Cyrus' successor Darius the Great. Cyrus' empire demanded only tribute
and conscripts from many parts of the realm.
Cyrus was distinguished equally as a statesman and as a soldier. By pursuing a
policy of generosity instead of repression, and by favoring local religions, he was able
to make his newly conquered subjects into enthusiastic supporters. Due in part to the
political infrastructure he created, the Achaemenid empire endured long after his demise.
The rise of Persia under Cyrus's rule had a profound impact on the course of world
history. Persian philosophy, literature and religion all played dominant roles in world
events for the next millennia. Despite the Islamic conquest of Persia in the 7th century CE
by the Islamic Caliphate (Arab Empire), Persia continued to exercise enormous influence
in the Middle East during the Islamic Golden Age."

173 "... tree of life...."
"Trees of life appear in folklore, culture and fiction, often relating to immortality. These
often hold cultural and religious significance to the peoples for whom they appear.
The Sumerian (or Persian) Tree of Life was represented by a series of nodes and crisscrossing lines. It was an important religious symbol among these peoples, often attended
to by Eagle Headed Gods & Priests, or the King himself.
• In Chinese mythology a carving of a Tree of Life depicts a phoenix and a dragon -
in Chinese mythology the dragon often represents immortality. There is also the
Taoist story of a tree that produces a peach every three thousand years. The one
who eats the fruit receives immortality.
• An archaeological discovery in the 1990s was of a sacrificial pit at Sanxingdui in
Sechuan, China. Dating from about 1200 BCE, it contained 3 bronze trees, one
of them 4 meters high. At the base was a dragon, and fruit hanging from the lower
branches. At the top is a strange bird-like (phoenix) creature with claws. Also from
Sechuan, from the late Han dynasty (c 25 - 220 CE) is another tree of life. The
ceramic base is guarded by a horned beast with wings. The leaves of the tree are
coins and people.
• In Egyptian mythology, in the Ennead system of Heliopolis, the first couple, apart
from Shu & Tefnut (moisture & dryness) and Geb & Nuit (earth & sky), are Isis &
Osiris. They were said to have emerged from the acacia tree of Saosis, which the
Egyptians considered the tree of life, referring to it as the "tree in which life
and death are enclosed".
274
• The Egyptian's Holy Sycamore also stood on the threshold of life and death,
connecting the two worlds.
• In Germanic paganism, trees played a prominent role, appearing in various
aspects of surviving texts and possibly in the name of gods.
• The tree of life appears in Norse religion as Yggdrasil, the world tree, a massive
tree with extensive lore surrounding it. Perhaps related to the Yggdrasil, accounts
have survived of Germanic Tribes honouring sacred trees within their societies.
• In Norse Mythology it is the golden apples from Iðunn's tree that provides
immortality for the gods.
• The Tree of Life is mentioned in the Books of Genesis, in which it has the
potential to grant immortality to Adam and Eve. (However, it is not immediately
obvious, nor is it universally accepted, that the Book of Genesis account and the
Book of Revelation account speak of the same Tree of Life.)
• A Tree of Life, in the form of ten interconnected nodes, is an important part of
the Kabbalah. As such, it resembles the ten Sephirot.
• The Tree of Life appears in the Book of Mormon in a revelation to Lehi (see 1 Nephi
8:10-12). It is symbolic of the love of God (see 1 Nephi 11:21-23), and sometimes
understood as salvation and post-mortal existence.
• Etz Chaim, Hebrew for "Tree of Life", is a common term used in Judaism. The
expression, found in the Book of Proverbs, is figuratively applied to the Torah itself.
• Among pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, the concept of "world trees" is a
prevalent motif in Mesoamerican mythical cosmologies and iconography. World
trees embodied the four cardinal directions, which represented also the fourfold
nature of a central world tree, a symbolic axis mundi connecting the planes of
the Underworld and the sky with that of the terrestrial world.
• Depictions of world trees, both in their directional and central aspects, are found in
the art and mythological traditions of cultures such as the Maya, Aztec,
Izapan, Mixtec, Olmec, and others, dating to at least the Mid/Late Formative
periods of Mesoamerican chronology.
• Directional world trees are also associated with the four Year bearers in
Mesoamerican calendars, and the directional colors and deities.
• World trees are frequently depicted with birds in their branches, and their roots
extending into earth or water (sometimes atop a "water-monster", symbolic of
the underworld).
• The central world tree has also been interpreted as a representation of the band
of the Milky Way. Fragment of a bronze helmet from Urartu, with the "Tree of Life"
depicted.
• In ancient Armrenia around 13th to 6th century BC, the Tree of Life was a
religious symbol, drawn onto the exterior walls of fortresses and carved on the
armour of warriors. The branches of the tree were equally divided on the right and
left sides of the stem, with each branch having one leaf, and one leaf on the apex of
the tree. Servants (some winged) stood on each side of the tree with one of their
hands up as if they are taking care of it. This tree can be found on numerous Urartu
artifacts, such as paintings on the walls of the Erebuni fortress in Yerevan, Armenia.
• The symbolism of the tree is mentioned in the 135th hymn of the 10th book of
Rig-Veda, and in the 15th chapter of Bhagavad-gita (1-4).
• In the Japanese religion of Shinto, trees were marked with sacred paper
symbolizing lightning bolts, as trees were thought to be sacred. This was
275
propagated by the fact that after they passed (died), ancestors and animals
were often portrayed as branches on the tree.
• The Book of One Thousand and One Nights has a story, 'The Tale of Buluqiya',
in which the hero searches for immortality and finds a paradise with jewelencrusted trees. Nearby is a Fountain of Youth guarded by Al-Khidr. Unable to
defeat the guard, Buluqiya has to return empty-handed.
• The Epic of Gilgamesh is a similar quest for immortality. In Mesopotamian
mythology, Etana searches for a 'plant of birth' to provide him with a son. This has
a solid provenance of antiquity, being found in cylinder seals from Akkad (2390 -
2249 BCE).
• One of the earliest forms of ancient Greek religion has its origins associated with
tree cults.
In mystical traditions of world religions, sacred texts are read for metaphorical content
concerning the relationship between states of mind and the external experience of
reality. As such, the tree is a manifestation/causal symbol - the Tree of Life representing
the coveted state of eternal aliveness or fulfillment, not immortality of the body or
soul. In such a state, physical death (which cannot be overcome) is nevertheless a
choice, and direct experience of the perfect goodness/divine reality/god is not only
possible, but ever present.
Once the ego (surface consciousness) experiences shame, having been tempted to absorb
or believe in duality (such as eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), we are
protected from living eternally in that limiting, fallen, experience by the cherubim guarding
the gate of return to paradise. The cherubim are symbolic of the perfect knowledge of
self or true nature, with the power of purification and return to being."

175 "... faravahar..."
"The faravahar or farohar (transliteration varies) is one of the best-known symbols of
Zoroastrianism.
The winged disc has a long history in the art and culture of the ancient Near and Middle
East. Historically, the symbol is influenced by the "winged sun" hieroglyph appearing on
Bronze Age royal seals. While the symbol is currently thought to represent a Fravashi (c.
a guardian angel) and from which it derives its name, what it represented in the minds of
those who adapted it from earlier Mesopotamian and Egyptian reliefs is unclear. Because
the symbol first appears on royal inscriptions, it is also thought to represent the 'Divine
Royal Glory' (khvarenah), or the Fravashi of the king, or represented the divine mandate
that was the foundation of a king's authority.
276
This relationship between the name of the symbol and the class of divine entities reflects
the current belief that the symbol represents a Fravashi. However, there is no physical
description of the Fravashis in the Avesta and in Avestan the entities are
grammatically feminine.
Prior to the reign of Darius I, the symbol did not have a human form above the wings.
In present-day Zoroastrianism, the faravahar is said to be a reminder of one's purpose in
life, which is to live in such a way that the soul progresses towards frasho-kereti, or
union with Ahura Mazda."

176 "...Oannes..."
"Oannes was the name given by the Babylonian writer Berossus in the 3rd century BC to a
mythical being who taught mankind wisdom. Berossus describes Oannes as having the body
of a fish but underneath the figure of a man. He is described as dwelling in the Persian Gulf,
and rising out of the waters in the daytime and furnishing mankind instruction in writing, the
arts and the various sciences.
Once thought to be based on the ancient Babylonian god Ea, it is now known that Oannes is
in fact based on Uan (Adapa) - the first of the seven antediluvian sages or Abgallu (in
Sumerian Ab=water, Gal=Great, Lu=man), who were sent by Ea to deliver the arts of
civilization to mankind in ancient Sumerian mythology, at Eridu, the oldest city of Sumer."

177 "Some members of the lost Battalion have been found in the oceans inhabiting the
bodies of dolphins or whales."
Dolphins have long played a role in human culture. Dolphins are common in Greek
mythology and there are many coins from the time which feature a man or boy riding on the
back of a dolphin. The Ancient Greeks treated them with welcome; a ship spotting dolphins
riding in their wake was considered a good omen for a smooth voyage. Dolphins also seem
to have been important to the Minoans, judging by artistic evidence from the ruined
palace at Knossos. In Hindu mythology, the Ganges River Dolphin is associated with
Ganga, the deity of the Ganges river.
Dolphins are often regarded as one of Earth's most intelligent animals, though it is hard
to say just how intelligent dolphins are, as comparisons of species' relative intelligence
are complicated by differences in sensory apparatus, response modes, and nature of
cognition. Furthermore, the difficulty and expense of doing experimental work with large
aquatics means that some tests which could yield meaningful results still have not been
carried out, or have been carried out with inadequate sample size and methodology. Dolphin
behavior has been studied extensively by humans however, both in captivity and in the wild."

178 "... The Anunnaki..."
"The Anunnaki are a group of Sumerian and Akkadian deities related to, and in some cases
overlapping with, the Annuna (the 'Fifty Great Gods') and the Igigi (minor gods),
277
meaning something to the effect of 'those of royal blood' or 'princely offspring' or
"heaven and earth".
The Annunaki appear in the Babylonian creation myth, Enuma Elish. In the late version
magnifying Marduk, after the creation of mankind, Marduk divides the Anunnaki and
assigns them to their proper stations, three hundred in heaven, three hundred on the
earth. The Anunnaki were the High Council of the Gods, and Anu's companions. They
were distributed through the Earth and the Underworld."

179 "... flying on a "Winged-Disc". "
"The winged sun is a symbol associated with divinity, royalty and power in the Ancient
Near East (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Persia). The symbol has also been found in
the records of ancient cultures residing in various regions of South America as well as
Australia.
In Ancient Egypt, the symbol is attested from the Old Kingdom (Sneferu, 26th century BC),
often flanked on either side with a uraeus. In early Egyptian religion, the symbol Behedeti
represented Horus of Edfu, later identified with Ra-Harachte. It is sometimes depicted on the
neck of Apis, the bull of Ptah. As time passed (according to interpretation) all of the
subordinated gods of Egypt were considered to be aspects of the sun god, including e.g.
Khepri.
From roughly 2000 BC, the symbol spread to the Levant and to Mesopotamia. It appears in
reliefs with Assyrian rulers and in Hieroglyphic Anatolian as a symbol for royalty,
transcribed as literally, "his own self, the Sun". From ca. the 8th century BC, it appears on
Hebrew seals, by now as a generic symbol for "power". The symbol evolved into the
Faravahar (the "visual aspect of Ahura Mazda") in Zoroastrian Persia."

180 "... he established a high standard of ethical, and humanitarian philosophy..."
"Up to the time of the conquest of Media by Cyrus the Great, Median emperors ruled their
conquered territories as provinces, through client kings and governors. One of the keys to
the Achaemenid success (as with most enduring great empires) was their open
attitude to the culture and religion of the conquered people, so ironically the Persian
culture was the one most affected as the Great King endeavored to melt elements
from all his subjects into a new imperial style."

181 "... Teotihuacan..."
"Several authors, including Zecharia Sitchin and Graham Hancock, have repeated each
others argument that there are major correspondences between the pyramids of Gizeh and
those of Teotihuacan. The Pyramid of the Sun is 225m wide and 65 m high, constructed out
of five successive layers of mud. Its ascent is via 242 stairs. The floor plan is rather close to
that of the Pyramid of Khufu at Gizeh. The Pyramid of the Moon is much smaller: 42 m high
and 150 m wide, yet its summit is as high as that of Sun, because it sits on the sites highest
278
point. This feature can also be seen in Gizeh, where Khufus and Khafres pyramid reach an
equal height, even though one is taller than the other.
The most obvious comparison, however, is that the layout of both the three pyramids at
Gizeh and the three main structures of Teotihuacan represent the Belt of Orion. The Pyramid
of the Moon compares with the smallest pyramid on the plateau, the Sun Pyramid with
Khafre and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, which has the largest ground plan, but never was
built into a full pyramid, compares with that of Khufu.
Though there are individual differences, I would suggest that the same ingredients have
been used, answering to the same general ground plan: to represent the Belt of Orion, which
in ancient Egypt was the symbol of Horus (not Osiris as Adrian Gilbert and Robert Bauval
have argued) and in the Mayan culture was part of the creation mythology. Local legends
stated that the complex was built to transform men into gods. For sure, an “alien space
station” could be an interpretation of that, but it is clear that the answer needs to be located
in the domain of religion.
On May 17, ca. 150 AD, the Pleiades rose just before the Sun in the predawn skies. This
synchronization, known as the heliacal rising of the Pleiades, only lasted approx. 100 year. It
is now suggested that it was this event that was at the origin of Teotihuacan. The sun and
the Pleiades are important in the religious rituals. The Sun-Pleiades zenith conjunction
marked what is known as the New Fire ceremony. Bernardino de Sahuguns Aztec
informants stated that the ceremony occurred at the end of every 52 year Calendar Round.
The Aztecs and their predecessors had carefully observed the Pleiades, and on the
expected night they were supposed to pass through the zenith, precisely at midnight, when
the ceremony was performed."

182 "... al-Hassan ibn-al-Sabbah..."
"The story is that al-Hassan ibn-al-Sabbah used hashish to enlist the aid of young men into
his private army known as assassins (aschishin - or follower of Hassan). One of the primary
sources for this information comes from the writings of Marco Polo who visited the area in
1273, almost 150 years after the reign of Al-Hassan.
There are many conflicting facts and sources for this information.
In the early 11th century, al-Hassan became the head of the Persian sect of the Ismailians, a
rather obscure party of fanatics which gained local power under his guidance. In 1090, alHassan and his followers seized the castle of Alamut, in the province of Rudbar, which lies in
the mountainous region south of the Caspian Sea. It was from this mountain home that he
obtained evil celebrity among the Crusaders as "the old man of the mountains", and spread
terror through the Mohammedan world.
In the account given by Marco Polo in "The Adventures [or Travels] of Marco Polo" it is told
that "The Old Man kept at his court such boys of twelve years old as seemed to him destined
to become courageous men. When the Old Man sent them into the garden in groups of four,
ten or twenty, he gave them hashish to drink. They slept for three days, then they were
carried sleeping into the garden where he had them awakened.
279
"When these young men woke, and found themselves in the garden with all these marvelous
things, they truly believed themselves to be in paradise. And these damsels were always
with them in songs and great entertainments; they; received everything they asked for, so
that they would never have left that garden of their own will."

183 "... Knights Templar..."
"The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon commonly known as
the Knights Templar were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders.
The organization existed for approximately two centuries in the Middle Ages. It was founded
in the aftermath of the First Crusade of 1096 to ensure the safety of the many Europeans
who made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem after its conquest.
Around 1119, two veterans of the First Crusade, the French knight Hugues de Payens and
his relative Godfrey de Saint-Omer, proposed the creation of a monastic order for the
protection of the pilgrims. King Baldwin II of Jerusalem agreed to their request, and gave
them space for a headquarters on the Temple Mount, in the captured Al Aqsa Mosque. The
Temple Mount had a mystique, because it was above what was believed to be the ruins of
the Temple of Solomon. The Crusaders therefore referred to the Al Aqsa Mosque as
Solomon's Temple, and it was from this location that the Order took the name of Poor
Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon, or "Templar" knights. The Order, with about
nine knights, had few financial resources and relied on donations to survive. Their emblem
was of two knights riding on a single horse, emphasizing the Order's poverty.
The Templars' impoverished status did not last long. They had a powerful advocate in
Bernard of Clairvaux, a leading Church figure and a nephew of one of the founding knights.
He spoke and wrote persuasively on their behalf, and in 1129 at the Council of Troyes, the
Order was officially endorsed by the Church. With this formal blessing, the Templars became
a favored charity across Europe, receiving money, land, businesses, and noble-born sons
from families who were eager to help with the fight in the Holy Land. Another major benefit
came in 1139, when Pope Innocent II's papal bull Omne Datum Optimum exempted the
Order from obedience to local laws. This ruling meant that the Templars could pass freely
through all borders, were not required to pay any taxes, and were exempt from all
authority except that of the Pope.
With its clear mission and ample resources, the Order grew rapidly. Templars were often the
advance force in key battles of the Crusades, as the knights on their heavily armed
warhorses would set out to gallop full speed at the enemy, in an attempt to break opposition
lines. One of their most famous victories was in 1177 during the Battle of Montgisard, where
some 500 Templar knights helped to defeat Saladin's army of more than 26,000 soldiers.
Although the primary mission of the Order was military, relatively few members were
combatants. The others acted in support positions to assist the knights and to
manage the financial infrastructure. The Templar Order, though its members were
sworn to individual poverty, was given control of wealth beyond direct donations. A
nobleman who was interested in participating in the Crusades might place all his
assets under Templar management while he was away. Accumulating wealth in this
manner across Europe and the Outremer, the Order in 1150 began generating letters of
credit for pilgrims journeying to the Holy Land: pilgrims deposited their valuables with a
local Templar preceptory before embarking, received an encrypted document indicating
280
the value of their deposit, then used that document upon arrival in the Holy Land to retrieve
their funds. This innovative arrangement may have been the first formal system to
support the use of cheques; it improved the safety of pilgrims by making them less
attractive targets for thieves, and also contributed to the Templar coffers.
Based on this mix of donations and business dealing, the Templar established financial
networks across the whole of Christendom. They acquired large tracts of land, both in
Europe and the Middle East; they bought and managed farms and vineyards; they built
churches and castles; they were involved in manufacturing, import and export; they had their
own fleet of ships; and at one point they even owned the entire island of Cyrprus. The
Templar arguably qualifies as the world's first multinational corporation."

184 " The Knights Templar were disbanded by King Philip IV of France, who was
deeply in debt to the Order."
"King Philip was already deeply in debt to the Templars from his war with the English and
decided to seize upon the rumors for his own purposes. He began pressuring the Church to
take action against the Order, as a way of freeing himself from his debts.
On Friday October 13, 1307 (a date linked with the origin of the Friday the 13th
superstition), Philip ordered de Molay and scores of other French Templars to be
simultaneously arrested. The Templars were charged with numerous heresies and tortured
to extract false confessions of blasphemy. The confessions, despite having been obtained
under duress, caused a scandal in Paris. After more bullying from Philip, Pope Clement then
issued the bull Pastoralis Praeeminentiae on November 22, 1307, which instructed all
Christian monarchs in Europe to arrest all Templars and seize their assets.
Pope Clement called for papal hearings to determine the Templars' guilt or innocence, and
once freed of the Inquisitors' torture, many Templars recanted their confessions. Some had
sufficient legal experience to defend themselves in the trials, but in 1310 Philip blocked this
attempt, using the previously forced confessions to have dozens of Templars burned at the
stake in Paris.
With the last of the Order's leaders gone, the remaining Templars around Europe were
either arrested and tried under the Papal investigation (with virtually none convicted),
absorbed into other military orders such as the Knights Hospitaller, or pensioned and
allowed to live out their days peacefully. Some may have fled to other territories outside
Papal control, such as excommunicated Scotland or to Switzerland.
It is estimated that at the Order's peak there were between 15,000 and 20,000
Templars, of whom about a tenth were actual knights."

system..."

"Banking in Switzerland is characterized by stability, privacy and protection of clients'
assets and information. The country's tradition of bank secrecy, which dates to the
Middle Ages.
According to the CIA World Factbook, Switzerland is "a major international financial
centre vulnerable to the layering and integration stages of money laundering; despite
significant legislation and reporting requirements, secrecy rules persist and
nonresidents are permitted to conduct business through offshore entities and various
intermediaries..."
In 1998, an international panel of historians released a study that claimed a significant
amount of gold had been stolen from Holocaust victims, as well as the treasuries of
conquered countries, and deposited in the Swiss National Bank. The panel found that,
despite evidence of theft and wrongful acquisition of the gold, the SNB continued to accept
the deposits. In 2000, a United States District Court judge approved a US$1.85 billion
settlement between several Swiss banks and Holocaust victims."

EDITOR'S NOTE: The most famous example of this kind of activity is the "Bilderberg
Conference". See the following reference to this organization from Wikipedia.org:
"The Bilderberg Group or Bilderberg conference is an unofficial annual invitation-only
conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are persons of influence in the fields of
business, media and politics.
The elite group meets annually at luxury hotels or resorts throughout the world — normally
in Europe — and once every four years in the United States or Canada. It has an office in
Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands. The 2007 conference took place from May 31 to June 3
at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey.
Attendees of Bilderberg include central bankers, defense experts, mass media press
barons, government ministers, prime ministers, royalty, international financiers and
political leaders from Europe and North America.
Some of the Western world's leading financiers and foreign policy strategists attend
Bilderberg. Donald Rumsfeld is an active Bilderberger, as is Peter Sutherland from Ireland,
a former European Union commissioner and chairman of Goldman Sachs and of British
Petroleum. Rumsfeld and Sutherland served together in 2000 on the board of the
Swedish/Swiss engineering company ABB. Former U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary and
former World Bank head Paul Wolfowitz is also a member. The group's current chairman
is Etienne Davignon, the Belgian businessman and politician.
Critics say the Bilderberg Group promotes the careers of politicians whose views are
representative of the interests of multinational corporations, at the expense of
democracy.
The group's secrecy and its connections to power elites has provided fodder for many who
believe that the group is part of a conspiracy to create a New World Order.
282
Radio host Alex Jones promotes the theory that the group intends to dissolve the
sovereignty of the United States and other countries into a supra-national structure similar to
the European Union. Madrid-based author Daniel Estulin claims that the long-term purpose
of Bilderberg is to "Build a One-World Empire". He states the group "is not the end but the
means to a future One World Government". Another opponent of the group, Tony Gosling,
has registered the domain name Bilderberg.org, largely hosting material critical of
Bilderberg.
Reporter Jonathan Duffy, writing in BBC News Online Magazine states "In the void created
by such aloofness, an extraordinary conspiracy theory has grown up around the group that
alleges the fate of the world is largely decided by Bilderberg."

187 " A primary influence of "Old Empire" operatives on international bankers is to act
as an unseen, non-combatant provocateur who covertly promote and finance
weapons and warfare..."
(EDITOR'S NOTE: An excellent modern example of this activity has been documented in
the World War II financing of Nazis by (Prescott Bush, Director of Union Banking
Corp.) the patriarch of President George Bush and his son, President George W.
Bush.:
"On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking
operations in New York City that were being conducted by Prescott Bush, the father of
former president George Herbert Walker Bush.
Harriman Bank was the main Wall Street connection for several German companies and the
varied U.S. financial interests of Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen had been an early financial backer
of the Nazi party until 1938, but by 1939 had fled Germany and was bitterly denouncing
Hitler. He was later jailed by the Nazis for his opposition to the regime. Business
transactions with Germany were not illegal when Hitler declared war on the United States on
December 11, 1941, but, six days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt signed the Trading With the Enemy Act after it had been made public that
U.S. companies were doing business with the declared enemy of the United States.
On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of German banking
operations in New York City. Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed
Vesting Order Number 248 seizing Bush's property under the Trading with the Enemy Act.
The order cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), of which Bush was a director
and held one share, which had connections with a Dutch bank owned by Thyssen.
Fox News has reported that recently declassified material reveals that the 4,000 Union
Banking shares owned by the Dutch bank were registered in the names of the seven U.S.
directors, according to a document signed by Homer Jones, chief of the division of
investigation and research of the Office of Alien Property Custodian, a World War II-era
agency. By 1941 Thyssen no longer had control over his banking empire, which was in the
hands of the Nazi government.
• E. Roland Harriman 3991 shares (managed and under voting control of
Prescott Bush)
• Cornelis Lievense 4 shares (He was the New York banker of the Nazi Party)
283
• Harold D. Pennington 1 share (Employed by Prescott Bush at Brown Brothers
Harriman)
• Ray Morris 1 share (a business partner of the Bush and Harriman families)
• Prescott S. Bush 1 share (director of UBC, which was co-founded and
sponsored by his father-in-law George Walker; senior managing partner for E.
Roland Harriman and Averell Harriman)
• H.J. Kouwenhoven 1 share (organized UBC for Von Thyssen, managed UBC in
Nazi occupied Netherlands)
• Johann G. Groeninger 1 share (German Industrial Executive, a not unimportant
member of the Nazi party)
Both E. Roland Harriman and Prescott Bush were members of Skull and Bones as well
as being members of the board of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co..
The Harriman business interests seized under the act in October and November 1942
included:
• Union Banking Corporation (UBC) (for Thyssen and Brown Brothers Harriman). The
President of UBC at that time was George Herbert Walker, Bush's father-in-law.
• Dutch-American Trading Corporation (with Harriman)
• the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation (with Harriman)
• Silesian-American Corporation (this company was partially owned by a German
entity; during the war the Germans tried to take full control of Silesian-American. In
response to that, the American government seized German owned minority shares
in the company, leaving the U.S. partners to carry on the business.)
The assets were held by the government for the duration of the war, then returned afterward.
UBC was dissolved in 1951. Bush was on the board of directors of UBC and held one
share in the company. For it, he was reimbursed $1,500,000.(a huge amount of money
at the time - but there is no documentary evidence to support this claim) These
supposed assets were later used to launch Bush family investments in the Texas
energy industry.
Toby Rogers has claimed that Bush's connections to Silesian businesses (with Thyssen and
Flick) make him complicit with the mining operations in Nazi-occupied Poland which used
slave labor out of Oświęcim, where the Auschwitz concentration camp was later constructed.
The New York Herald-Tribune referred to Thyssen as "Hitler's Angel" and mentioned
Bush as an employee of the investment banking firm Thyssen used in the United
States. Some records in the National Archives, including the Harriman papers, document
the continued relationship of Brown Brothers Harriman with Thyssen and some of his
German investments up until his 1951 death. Investigator John Loftus has said, "As a
former federal prosecutor, I would make a case for Prescott Bush, his father-in-law
(George Walker) and Averell Harriman [to be prosecuted] for giving aid and comfort to
the enemy. They remained on the boards of these companies knowing that they were
of financial benefit to the nation of Germany."
Two former slave laborers from Poland have filed suit in London against the
government of the United States and the heirs of Prescott Bush in the amount of $40
billion. A class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. in 2001 was dismissed based on the principle
of state sovereignty.
284
Prescott Bush connection to the Merchants of Death industry came from his father Samuel
P. Bush who worked for Buckeye Steel Castings Company which manufactured railway
parts for the railroad industry and barrels for guns and casings for shells for Remington
Arms."

"The Secret War Against the Jews, Unholy Trinity (By Mark Aarons, John Loftus) tells
one of the darkest tales of World War II. After the war had ended, fearing a surge of Soviet
growth, the Papacy entered into an espionage alliance with British and American intelligence
agents. Subsuming justice to the nascent Cold War ideology, these three powers ferreted
Nazi criminals out of Europe so that they could be used in the supposedly greater fight
against Communism. The Vatica's Nazi smuggling network was penetrated by Prince Anton
Turkul, the great Soviet double agent who turned the operations into a sting for his masters
in the Kremlin. Unholy Trinity exposes Turkul's "Red Nazi" operation for the first time and
shows how Kim Philby, the infamous British-Soviet double agent, and his network were
nearly sacrificed to preserve Turkul's Vatican operation. Exploring the Vatican's role in aiding
Nazi criminals to escape punishment for their crimes, this book, originally published in 1991,
first revealed the Vatican--Swiss bank connection to Nazi gold and documented the hidden
links to Western investors in Nazi Germany. Since 1991, major revelations about the role of
Swiss banks have confirmed Unholy Trinity's expose of the flight of the Nazi's stolen
treasures; the new introduction and new final chapters, written by Aarons and Loftus for this
edition, bring the book completely up to date and show how the media have missed the vital
Vatican connection in the Swiss-bank story. Among other things, the authors demonstrate
that U.S. and British code-breakers were fully aware of the Holocaust as early as 1941 but
lied to the Western press; that the code-breakers bugged the Swiss banks and then buried
secrets of Nazi gold transfers to protect U.S. intelligence chief Allen Dulles; and that the
Australian, British, and Canadian governments are still waging a campaign to keep their
citizens ignorant about the Nazi war criminals living among them. Covers all these topics and
more, Unholy Trinity is the definitive history of a series of profoundly disturbing cover-ups
involving the Holy See, Allen Dulles, the Swiss banks, and the remnants of the Third Reich."

188 "...Bloodletting..."
"Bloodletting is one of the oldest medical practices, having been practiced among diverse
ancient peoples, including the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Mayans, and
the Aztecs. In Greece, bloodletting was in use around the time of Hippocrates, who mentions
bloodletting but in general relied on dietary techniques. Erasistratus, however, theorized that
many diseases were caused by plethoras, or overabundances, in the blood, and advised
that these plethoras be treated, initially, by exercise, sweating, reduced food intake, and
vomiting. Herophilus advocated bloodletting. Archagathus, one of the first Greek physicians
to practice in Rome, practiced bloodletting extensively and gained a most sanguinary
reputation.
The popularity of bloodletting in Greece was reinforced by the ideas of Galen, after he
discovered the veins and arteries were filled with blood, not air as was commonly believed at
the time. There were two key concepts in his system of bloodletting. The first was that blood
was created and then used up, it did not circulate and so it could 'stagnate' in the
extremities. The second was that humoral balance was the basis of illness or health, the four
humours being blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile, relating to the four Greek classical
elements of air, water, earth and fire. Galen believed that blood was the dominant humour
and the one in most need of control. In order to balance the humours, a physician would
either remove 'excess' blood (plethora) from the patient or give them an emetic to induce
vomiting, or a diuretic to induce urination.
Bloodletting was especially popular in the young United States of America, where Benjamin
Rush (a signatory of the Declaration of Independence) saw the state of the arteries as the
key to disease, recommending levels of blood-letting that were high, even for the time.
George Washington was treated in this manner following a horseback riding accident:
almost 4 pounds (1.7 litres) of blood was withdrawn, contributing to his death by throat
infection in 1799."

189 "... you will find "evolution" mentioned in the ancient Vedic Hymns..."
"The Vedas are very exhaustive scriptures. Each Veda contains several sections and
thousands of hymns. Some of the Vedic hymns, especially the hymns of the Rig Veda, are
considered to be at least 6000-8000 years old.
The Vedas are believed to be revealed scriptures, because they are considered to be
divine in origin. Since they were not written by any human beings but were only heard
in deep meditative states, they are commonly referred as srutis or those that were heard."

"The Vedas (Sanskrit véda वेद "knowledge") are a large corpus of texts originating in Ancient
India. They form the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest sacred texts of
Hinduism. According to Hindu tradition, the Vedas are "not human compositions", being
supposed to have been directly revealed, and thus are called śruti ("what is heard"). Vedic
mantras are recited at Hindu prayers, religious functions and other auspicious occasions.
Philosophies and sects that developed in the Indian subcontinent have taken differing
positions on the Vedas. Schools of Indian philosophy which cite the Vedas as their scriptural
authority are classified as "orthodox" (āstika). Other traditions, notably Buddhism and
Jainism, though they are (like the vedanta) similarly concerned with liberation did not regard
the Vedas as divine ordinances but rather human expositions of the sphere of higher
spiritual knowledge, hence not sacrosanct."

190 "... the IS-BE who wrote a fictitious story one dark and stormy night..."
Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary
Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was
published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the revised third
edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein,
who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than
average and more powerful.
The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a
complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully
realized science fiction novel. The novel raises many issues that can be linked to
today's society.
During the rainy summer of 1816, the "Year Without a Summer," the world was locked
in a long cold volcanic winter caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. Mary
Wollstonecraft Godwin, age 19, and her lover (and later husband) Percy Bysshe Shelley,
visited Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The weather was
consistently too cold and dreary that summer to enjoy the outdoor holiday activities they had
planned, so the group retired indoors until almost dawn talking about science and the
supernatural. After reading Fantasmagoriana, an anthology of German ghost stories,
they challenged one another to each compose a story of their own, the contest being
won by whoever wrote the scariest tale.
Mary conceived an idea after she fell into a waking dream or nightmare during which
she saw "the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put
together." Byron managed to write just a fragment based on the vampire legends he heard
while travelling the Balkans, and from this Polidori created The Vampyre (1819), the
progenitor of the romantic vampire literary genre. Two legendary horror tales originated from
this one circumstance.
Radu Florescu, in his book In Search of Frankenstein, argued that Mary and Percy Shelley
visited Castle Frankenstein on their way to Switzerland, near Darmstadt along the Rhine,
where a notorious alchemist named Konrad Dippel had experimented with human bodies."

191 "...Grimm's Fairy Tales..."
"The world famous collection of German origin fairy tales Kinder- und Hausmärchen (KHM;
English: Children's and Household Tales), commonly known as Grimm's Fairy Tales, was
first published in 1812 by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the Brothers Grimm. The brothers
developed an interest in ancient fairy tales. They started to collect and write down tales that
they alleged had been handed down for generations. On December 20, 1812 they published
the first volume of the first edition, containing 86 stories; the second volume of 70 stories
followed in 1814.
The first volumes were much criticized because, although they were called "Children's
Tales", they were not regarded as suitable for children, both for the scholarly information
included and the subject matter. Many changes through the editions—such as turning the
wicked mother of the first edition in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel to a stepmother,
were probably made with an eye to such suitability. They removed sexual references, such
as Rapunzel's betraying the prince by asking why her clothing no longer fit, and so revealing
her pregnancy, but in many respects, violence, particularly when punishing villains, was
increased.
The influence of these books was widespread. It ranks behind only the Bible and the works
of William Shakespeare in sales. W. H. Auden praised it, during World War II, as one of the
founding works of Western culture. The tales themselves have been put to many uses. The
Nazis praised them as folkish tales showing children with sound racial instincts seeking
racially pure marriage partners, and so strongly that the Allied forces warned against them.
Writers about the Holocaust have combined the tales with their memoirs."

192 "...Hinduism..."
"Hinduism is often referred to as Sanātana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal
path" or "the eternal law".
Hinduism is the world's oldest major religion that is still practiced. Its earliest origins can be
traced to the ancient Vedic civilization. A conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions,
Hinduism has no single founder. It is the world's third largest religion following Christianity
and Islam, with approximately a billion adherents, of whom about 905 million live in India and
Nepal.
Hinduism is an extremely diverse religion. Although some tenets of the faith are accepted by
most Hindus, scholars have found it difficult to identify any doctrines with universal
acceptance among all denominations. Prominent themes in Hindu beliefs include Dharma
(ethics/duties), Samsāra (The continuing cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth), Karma (action
and subsequent reaction), Moksha (liberation from samsara), and the various Yogas (paths
or practices).
Hinduism is a diverse system of thought with beliefs spanning monotheism, polytheism,
panentheism, pantheism, monism and atheism. It is sometimes referred to as henotheistic
(devotion to a single God while accepting the existence of other gods), but any such term is
an oversimplification of the complexities and variations of belief.
288
Most Hindus believe that the spirit or soul—the true "self" of every person, called the
ātman—is eternal."

193 "... Arcadia Regeneration Company".
"One of the birthplaces reported for Zeus is Mount Lycaeum in Arcadia. Lycaon, a
cannibalistic Pelasgian king, was transformed into a werewolf by Zeus. Lycaon's daughter
was Callisto. It was also said to have been the birthplace of Zeus' son, Hermes.
Arcadia remained a rustic, secluded area, and its inhabitants became proverbial as primitive
herdsmen leading simple pastoral unsophisticated yet happy lives, to the point that Arcadia
may refer to some imaginary idyllic paradise.
The Latin phrase Et in Arcadia ego which is usually interpreted to mean "I am also in
Arcadia" or "I am even in Arcadia" is an example of memento mori, a cautionary
reminder of the transitory nature of life and the inevitability of death. The phrase is
most often associated with a 1647 painting by Nicolas Poussin, also known as "The
Arcadian Shepherds". In the painting the phrase appears as an inscription on a tomb
discovered by youthful figures in classical garb. It has been suggested that the phrase is an
anagram for the Latin phrase "I! Tego arcana Dei", which translates to "Begone! I keep
God's secrets."

Molecular analysis of conserved sequences in the ribosomal RNAs of modern organisms
reveals a three-domain phylogeny that converges in a universal ancestor for all life.
We used the Clusters of Orthologous Groups database and information from published
genomes to search for other universally conserved genes that have the same phylogenetic
pattern as ribosomal RNA, and therefore constitute the ancestral genetic core of cells.
Our analyses identified a small set of genes that can be traced back to the universal
ancestor and have coevolved since that time.
As indicated by earlier studies, almost all of these genes are involved with the transfer of
genetic information, and most of them directly interact with the ribosome. Other universal
genes have either undergone lateral transfer in the past, or have diverged so much in
sequence that their distant past could not be resolved. The nature of the conserved genes
suggests innovations that may have been essential to the divergence of the three
domains of life. The analysis also identified several genes of unknown function with
289
phylogenies that track with the ribosomal RNA genes. The products of these genes are likely
to play fundamental roles in cellular processes."

"Biomedical engineering is an application of engineering principles and design to
challenges in human health and medicine. Bioengineering is related to Biological
Engineering, the latter including applications of engineering principles to the full spectrum of
living systems, from microbes and plants to ecosystems. Bioengineering exploits new
developments in molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and neurosciences as well
as sensing, electronics, and imaging, and applies them to the design of medical devices,
diagnostic equipment, biocompatible materials, and other important medical needs.
Bioengineering couples engineering expertise with knowledge in biological sciences such as
genetics, molecular biology, protein chemistry, cytology, neurobiology, immunology,
physiology, and pharmacology. Bioengineers work closely with, but are not limited to,
medical doctors and other health professionals to develop technical solutions to current and
emerging health concerns.
Bioengineering is not limited to the medical field. Bioengineers have the ability to exploit new
opportunities and solve problems within the domain of complex systems. They have a great
understanding of living systems as complex systems which can be applied to many fields
including entrepreneurship."

196 "... Imperfections were worked out, modifications made and eventually the new
animal was introduced into the actual planetary environment for final testing. "
"The basic ideals of Eugenics can be found from the beginnings of Western civilization. The
philosophy was most famously expounded by Plato, who believed human reproduction
should be monitored and controlled by the state. The basic eugenic principle from Platos
The Republic was, “The best men must have intercourse with the best women as frequently
as possible, and the opposite is true of the very inferior.
However, Plato understood this form of government control would not be readily accepted,
and proposed the truth be concealed from the public via a fixed lottery. Mates, in Platos
Republic, would be chosen by a “marriage number” in which the quality of the individual
would be quantitatively analyzed, and persons of high numbers would be allowed to
procreate with other persons of high numbers. In theory, this would lead to predictable
results and the improvement of the human race. However, Plato acknowledged the failure of
the “marriage number” since “gold soul” persons could still produce “bronze soul” children.
This might have been one of the earliest attempts to mathematically analyze genetic
inheritance, which was not perfected until the development of Mendelian genetics and the
mapping of the human genome.
Other ancient civilizations, such as Rome and Sparta, practiced infanticide as a form of
phenotypic selection. In Sparta, newborns were inspected by the city's elders, who decided
the fate of the infant. If the child was deemed incapable of living, it was usually thrown from
the Taygetus mountain. It was more common for girls than boys to be killed this way. Trials

for babies which included bathing them in wine and exposing them to the elements. To
Sparta, this would ensure only the strongest survived and procreated. Adolf Hitler
considered Sparta to be the first "Völkisch State," and much like Ernst Haeckel before him,
praised Sparta due to its primitive form of eugenics practice of selective infanticide policy
which was applied on deformed children.
The 12 Tables of Roman Law, established early in the formation of the Roman Republic,
stated in the fourth table that deformed children would be put to death. In addition, patriarchs
in Roman society were given the right to "discard" infants at their discretion. This was often
done by drowning undesired newborns in the Tiber River.
Sir Francis Galton initially developed the ideas of eugenics using social statistics. Sir
Francis Galton systematized these ideas and practices according to new knowledge about
the evolution of man and animals provided by the theory of his cousin Charles Darwin during
the 1860s and 1870s. After reading Darwin's Origin of Species, Galton built upon Darwin's
ideas whereby the mechanisms of natural selection were potentially thwarted by human
civilization. He reasoned that, since many human societies sought to protect the
underprivileged and weak, those societies were at odds with the natural selection
responsible for extinction of the weakest; and only by changing these social policies could
society be saved from a "reversion towards mediocrity," a phrase he first coined in statistics
and which later changed to the now common "regression towards the mean."

197 "...species..."
"In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic
rank. A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and
producing fertile offspring. While in many cases this definition is adequate, more precise or
differing measures are often used, such as based on similarity of DNA or morphology.
Presence of specific locally-adapted traits may further subdivide species into subspecies.
The commonly used names for plant and animal taxa sometimes correspond to species: for
example, "lion," "walrus," and "Camphor tree," each refers to a species. In other cases
common names do not: for example, "deer" refers to a family of 34 species, including Eld's
Deer, Red Deer and Wapiti (Elk). The last two species were once considered a single
species, illustrating how species boundaries may change with increased scientific
knowledge.
Each species is placed within a single genus. This is a hypothesis that the species is more
closely related to other species within its genus than to species of other genera. All species
are given a binomial name consisting of the generic name and specific name (or specific
epithet). For example, Pinus palustris (commonly known as the Longleaf Pine).
A usable definition of the word "species" and reliable methods of identifying particular
species are essential for stating and testing biological theories and for measuring
biodiversity. Traditionally, multiple examples of a proposed species must be studied for
unifying characters before it can be regarded as a species. Extinct species known only from
fossils are generally difficult to give precise taxonomic rankings to. A species which has
been described scientifically can be referred to by its binomial names.
Nevertheless, as Charles Darwin remarked,
291
'I look at the term species as one arbitrarily given for the sake of convenience to a
set of individuals closely resembling each other .... it does not essentially differ from
the term variety, which is given to less distinct and more fluctuating forms. The term
variety, again in comparison with mere individual difference, is also applied
arbitrarily, and for mere convenience sake.'
Because of the difficulties with both defining and tallying the total numbers of different
species in the world, it is estimated that there are anywhere between 2 million and 100
million different species."

198 "...species of beetle..."
"Beetles are a group of insects which have the largest number of species. They are placed
in the order Coleoptera, which means "sheathed wing" and contains more described species
than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about twenty-five percent of all
known life-forms. Forty percent of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000
species), and new species are frequently discovered. Estimates put the total number of
species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million.
Beetles can be found in almost all habitats, but are not known to occur in the sea or in the
polar regions. They interact with their ecosystems in several ways. They often feed on plants
and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species
are prey of various animals including birds and mammals. Certain species are agricultural
pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, the boll weevil
Anthonomus grandis, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and the mungbean or
cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, while other species of beetles are important
controls of agricultural pests. For example, coccinellidae ("ladybirds" or "ladybugs") consume
aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops."

199 "One species does not evolve to become another species, as the Earth textbooks
indicate, without the intervention and manipulation of genetic material by an IS-BE."
"Genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, genetic modification /
manipulation (GM) and gene splicing are terms applied to the direct manipulation of an
organism's genes. Genetic engineering is not to be confused with traditional breeding where
the organism's genes are manipulated indirectly. Genetic engineering uses the techniques of
molecular cloning and transformation. Genetic engineering endeavors have found some
success in improving crop technology, the manufacture of synthetic human insulin through
the use of modified bacteria, the manufacture of erythropoietin in Chinese hamster ovary
cells, and the production of new types of experimental mice such as the oncomouse (cancer
mouse) for research.
Since a protein sequence is specified by a segment of DNA called a gene, novel versions of
that protein can be produced by changing the DNA sequence of the gene. The companies
that own the modified genome are able to patent it. In the case of basic crops, the
companies gain control of foodstuffs, controlling food production on a large scale and
reducing agrobidiversity to a few varieties. The only apparent interest in promoting this
tecnology appears to be purely economic, despite the claims of seed companies such as
292
Monsanto and Novartis to solve the world food scarcity. It is now popularly understood that it
is not the lack of food on a wholewide scale that is the main problem, but its distribution,
aggravated by prohibitive tariffs by rich nations. Genetically modified crops do not reduce
hunger. The majority of genetically crops are destined for animal food to meet the high
demand for meat in developed countries. No genetic modification have yet to serve the
needs of mankind despite all the promises in this direction.
However, even with regard to this technology's great potential, some people have raised
concerns about the introduction of genetically engineered plants and animals into the
environment and the potential dangers of human consumption of GM foods. They say that
these organisms have the potential to spread their modified genes into native populations
thereby disrupting natural ecosystems. This has already happened."

200 "...genetic manipulation of a species..."
"How much genetic variation is there? Historical debate: Classical school held that there
was very little genetic variation, most individuals were homozygous for a "wild-type" allele.
Rare heterozygous loci due to recurrent mutation; natural selection purges populations of
their "load" of mutations. Balance school held that many loci will be heterozygous in natural
populations and heterozygotes maintained by "balancing selection" (heterozygote
advantage). Selection thus plays a role in maintaining variation.
How do we measure variation? To show that there is a genetic basis to a continuously
varying character one can study 1) resemblance among relatives: look at the offspring of
individuals from parents in different parts of the distribution; can estimate heritability (more
later). 2) artificial selection: pigeons and dogs show that there is variation present; does
not tell how much variation."

201 "... Proteobacteria..."
"The Proteobacteria are a major group (phylum) of bacteria. They include a wide variety of
pathogens, such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Vibrio, Helicobacter, and many other notable
genera. Others are free-living, and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen
fixation. The group is defined primarily in terms of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, and is
named for the Greek god Proteus (also the name of a bacterial genus within the
Proteobacteria), who could change his shape, because of the great diversity of forms found
in this group.
All Proteobacteria are Gram-negative, with an outer membrane mainly composed of
lipopolysaccharides. Many move about using flagella, but some are non-motile or rely on
bacterial gliding. The last include the myxobacteria, a unique group of bacteria that can
aggregate to form multicellular fruiting bodies. There is also a wide variety in the types of
metabolism. Most members are facultatively or obligately anaerobic and heterotrophic, but
there are numerous exceptions. A variety of genera, which are not closely related to each
other, convert energy from light through photosynthesis. These are called purple bacteria,
referring to their mostly reddish pigmentation."

205 "... patent licenses for the biological engineering process ..."
"A biological patent is a patent relating to an invention or discovery in biology.
The 1970s marked the first time when scientists patented methods on their biotechnological
inventions with recombinant DNA. It wasnt until 1980 that patents for whole-scale living
organisms was permitted. In Diamond v. Chakrabarty, the Supreme Court overturned a
previous precedent allowing the patentability of living matter. The subject for this
particular case was a bacterium that was specifically modified to help clean-up and degrade
oil spills.
294
Since legal changes have occurred starting in 1980, there has been a general trend of
patenting inventions on living matter. More knowledge and data has become available in
recent years that have never before been available. However, for us to get to the point
where it is making a significant difference in peoples lives, a tidy sum of money needs to be
invested. Biotech and pharmaceutical companies in recent years have found out how
lucrative biological research can be. These firms foster many research opportunities
by funding made possible only through the private sector.
Patents have provided an impetus for research to be pursued in that the end goal of money
can be envisioned by companies with the funding cash. Especially during the genomic era,
more patents were issued. Companies and organizations like the University of California
were patenting whole genomes.
In 1998, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) issued a broad patent claiming
primate (including human) embryonic stem cells, entitled "Primate Embryonic Stem
Cells" (Patent 5,843,780). On 13 March 2001, a second patent (6,200,806) was issued with
the same title but focused on human embryonic stem cells.
Recently, there has been a slowdown and backlash against patenting biological
material worldwide.
Some feel that the increase in patenting biological information leads to inefficiency in
research. Many scientists are coming up against patent thickets, which are masses of
information that they must obtain permission (and often pay large fees to utilize)
before they can ever work with the information.
Michael Heller and Rebecca Eisenberg (2005) explain that there is a recent trend of
patenting more and more steps along the research path. This creates a "tragedy of the
anticommons," whereby "each upstream patent allows its owner to set up another tollbooth
on the road to product development, adding to the cost and slowing the pace of downstream
. . . innovation". A report shows that notwithstanding escalating funding, in the past halfdecade biomedical innovation has slowed markedly. The number of drugs approved by the
Food and Drug Administration has fallen below previous eras. The technologies approved, it
continues, are less influential than previous innovations approved. The current trend of
patenting what previously were thought of as basic science insights have raised the financial
bar for other scientists wanting to use such insight. The overall trend of more patents may be
slowing innovation.
However, others point out that patents are necessary for research. Without them, scientists
would keep secret all discoveries for fear of colleagues and others stealing their
ideas. There would also be little incentive for large-scale investments from the private
sector.

206 "..."cyclical stimulus-response generators".
"Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) is an instinctive behavioral sequence that is indivisible
and runs to completion. Fixed action patterns are invariant and are produced by a
neural network known as the innate releasing mechanism in response to an external
sensory stimulus known as a sign stimulus or releaser.
295
A mating dance may be used as an example. Many species of birds engage in a specific
series of elaborate movements, usually by a brightly colored male. How well they perform
the "dance" is then used by females of the species to judge their fitness as a potential mate.
The key stimulus is typically the presence of the female.
Although fixed action patterns are most common in animals with simpler cognitive
capabilities, humans also demonstrate fixed action patterns. For example, infants grasp
strongly with their hands as a response to tactile stimulus."
Reference: Wikipedia.org
207 "...chemical-electrical trigger" mechanism..."
"A taxis (plural taxes) is an innate behavioural response by an organism to a stimulus. A
taxis differs from a tropism (turning response, often growth towards or away from a stimulus)
in that the organism has motility and demonstrates guided movement towards or away from
the stimulus. It also differs from a kinesis, a non-directional change in activity in response to
a stimulus that results in the illusion of directed motion due to different rates of activity
depending on stimulus intensity.
For example, flagellate protozoans of the genus Euglena move towards a light source. Here
the directional stimulus is light, and the orientation movement is towards the light. This
reaction or behaviour is a positive one to light and specifically termed "positive phototaxis",
since phototaxis is a response to a light stimulus, and the organism is moving towards the
stimulus. If the organism moves away from the stimulus, then the taxis is negative. Many
types of taxis have been identified and named using prefices to specify the stimulus that
elicits the response. These include anemotaxis (stimulation by wind), barotaxis (pressure),
chemotaxis (chemicals), galvanotaxis (electrical current), geotaxis (gravity), hydrotaxis
(moisture), phototaxis (light), rheotaxis (fluid flow), thermotaxis (temperature changes)
and thigmotaxis (physical contact).
Chemotaxis is a migratory response elicited by chemicals. Unicellular (e.g. protozoa) or
multicellular (e.g. worms) organisms are targets of the substances. A concentration gradient
of chemicals developed in a fluid phase guides the vectorial movement of responder cells or
organisms.
Electrotaxis is directional movement of motile cells in response to a electric field. It
has been suggested that by detecting and orientating themselves toward the electric fields.
This notion is based on 1) the existence of measurable electric fields that naturally occur
during wound healing, development and regeneration; and 2) cells in cultures respond to
applied electric fields by directional cell."

208 "... reproductive chemical-electrical impulses stimulated by testosterone or
estrogen."
"Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group. In mammals, testosterone is
primarily secreted in the testes of males and the ovaries of females, although small amounts
are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an
anabolic steroid.
296
The period of the early 1930s to the 1950s has been called “The Golden Age of Steroid
Chemistry”, and work during this period progressed quickly. Research in this golden age
proved that this newly synthesized compound — testosterone — or rather family of
compounds (for many derivatives were developed in the 1940s, 50s and 60s), was a potent
multiplier of muscle, strength, and wellbeing
In both men and women, testosterone plays a key role in health and well-being as well
as in sexual functioning.
The human hormone testosterone is produced in greater amounts by males, and less by
females. The human hormone estrogen is produced in greater amounts by females,
and less by males. On average, an adult human male body produces about forty to
sixty times more testosterone than an adult female body.
Testosterone causes the appearance of masculine traits (i.e deepening voice, pubic and
facial hairs, muscular build, etc.) Like men, women rely on testosterone to maintain libido,
bone density and muscle mass throughout their lives."

"The term Sexual addiction is used to describe the behavior of a person who has an
unusually intense sex drive or obsession with sex. Sexual addiction, also called sexual
compulsion is a form of psychological addiction.
The behavior of sex addicts is comparable to behavior of alcoholics and addicts, where sex
functions like a drug. A common definition of alcoholism is that a person has a pathological
relationship with this mood altering drug. It provides a quick mood change, works every time
and the user loses control over their compulsion. Like alcoholics, sex addicts' lives rotate
around the constant desire for their "drug" of choice."

211 "... a heavy gravity, nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere planet..."
"The Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by
the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95%
oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable
amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. This mixture of gases is commonly known as
air. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and
reducing temperature extremes between day and night.
There is no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. It slowly becomes
thinner and fades into space. Three quarters of the atmosphere's mass is within 11 km of the
planetary surface. In the United States, people who travel above an altitude of 80.5 km (50
statute miles) are designated astronauts. An altitude of 120 km (~75 miles or 400,000 ft)
marks the boundary where atmospheric effects become noticeable during re-entry. The
Kármán line, at 100 km (62 miles or 328,000 ft), is also frequently regarded as the boundary
between atmosphere and outer space.
The atmosphere of Mars is relatively thin, and the atmospheric pressure on the surface
varies from around 30 Pa (0.03 kPa) on Olympus Mons's peak to over 1155 Pa (1.155 kPa)
in the depths of Hellas Planitia, with a mean surface level pressure of 600 Pa (0.6 kPa),
compared to Earth's 101.3 kPa. However, the scale height of the atmosphere is about
11 km, somewhat higher than Earth's 6 km. The atmosphere on Mars consists of 95%
carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen, water, and
methane. The atmosphere is quite dusty, giving the Martian sky a tawny color when seen
from the surface; data from the Mars Exploration Rovers indicates the suspended dust
particles are roughly 1.5 micrometres across.
The atmosphere of Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is much denser and hotter than
that of Earth. The surface temperature and pressure on Venus are 740 K (467°C) and
93 bar, respectively. The Venusian atmosphere supports thick persistent clouds made of
sulfuric acid, which make optical observations of the surface impossible. The information
about surface features on Venus has been obtained exclusively by radar imaging conducted
from the ground and Venera 15-16 and by Magellan space probes. The main atmosphereric
gases on Venus are carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which make up 96.5% and 3.5% of all
molecules. Other chemical compounds are present only in trace amounts.
The atmosphere of Venus is in state of a vigorous circulation and super-rotation. The whole
atmosphere circles the planet in just four days (super-rotation), which is a short time
compared with the sideral rotational period of 243 days. The winds supporting super-rotation
blow as fast as 100 m/s. Near the poles of Venus anticyclonic structures called polar
vortexes are located. In them the air moves downward. Each vortex is double eyed and
shows a characteristic S-shaped pattern of clouds.
298
Only the ionosphere and thin induced magnetosphere separate venusian atmosphere from
the space. They shield the atmosphere from the solar wind, which usually does not
penetrate deep into it. However they are incapable of preventing the loss of water, which is
continuously blown away by the solar wind through the induced magnetotail.
Despite the harsh conditions on the surface, at about a 50 km to 65 km level above the
surface of the planet the atmospheric pressure and temperature is nearly the same as that of
the Earth, making its upper atmosphere the most Earth-like area in the Solar System, even
more so than the surface of Mars. Due to the similarity in pressure, temperature and the fact
that breathable air (21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen) is a lifting gas on Venus in the same way
that helium is a lifting gas on Earth."

212 "...Johannes Gutenberg..."
"Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (c. 1400 February 3, 1468) was a
German goldsmith and printer, who is credited with inventing movable type printing in
Europe (c. 1439) and mechanical printing globally. His major work, the Gutenberg Bible, also
known as the 42-line bible, has been acclaimed for its high aesthetic and technical quality.
Although Gutenberg was financially unsuccessful in his lifetime, the printing technologies
spread quickly, and news and books began to travel across Europe much faster than before.
It fed the growing Renaissance, and since it greatly facilitated scientific publishing, it was a
major catalyst for the later scientific revolution. Gutenberg is thought to have said: "Give me
26 soldiers of lead and I shall conquer the world."
Printing was also a factor in the Reformation: Martin Luther found that the 95 Theses, which
he posted on the door of his church, were printed and circulated widely; subsequently he
also issued broadsheets outlining his anti-indulgences position (ironically, indulgences were
one of the first items Gutenberg had printed). The broadsheet evolved into newspapers and
defined the mass media we know today."

researcher and agronomy educator who worked in agricultural extension at the Tuskegee
Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, teaching former slaves farming techniques for selfsufficiency.
George Washington Carver reputedly discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and
hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Among the listed items that
he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were adhesives, axle grease,
bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise,
meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish,
synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Three patents (one for cosmetics, and two
for paints and stains) were issued to George Washington Carver in the years 1925 to 1927;
however, they were not commercially successful in the end. Aside from these patents and
some recipes for food, he left no formulas or procedures for making his products. He did not
keep a laboratory notebook.
299
Carver's most important accomplishments were in areas other than industrial products from
peanuts, including agricultural extension education, improvement of racial relations,
mentoring children, poetry, painting, religion, advocacy of sustainable agriculture and
appreciation of plants and nature. He served as a valuable role model for African-Americans
and an example of the importance of hard work, a positive attitude and a good education.
His humility, humanitarianism, good nature, frugality and lack of economic materialism have
also been widely admired.
One of his most important roles was that the fame of his achievements and many talents
undermined the widespread stereotype of the time that the black race was intellectually
inferior to the white race. In 1941, "Time" magazine dubbed him a "Black Leonardo".

216 "... Renaissance..."
The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from
re- "again" and nascere "be born") was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th
through the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages and later spreading to the
rest of western Europe. It encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources, the
development of linear perspective in painting, and educational reform. The Renaissance saw
developments in most intellectual pursuits, but is perhaps best known for its artistic aspect
and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who have
inspired the term "Renaissance men".
However, it was not until the nineteenth century that the French word Renaissance
achieved popularity in describing the cultural movement that began in the late 13th
century" (1200 AD - 1300 AD).
The term was first used retrospectively by the Italian artist and critic Giorgio Vasari (1511-
1574) in his book The Lives of the Artists (published 1550). In the book Vasari was
attempting to define what he described as a break with the barbarities of gothic art: the arts
300
had fallen into decay with the collapse of the Roman Empire and only the Tuscan artists,
beginning with Cimabue (1240-1301) and Giotto (1267-1337) began to reverse this
decline in the arts. According to Vasari, antique art was central to the rebirth of Italian art.
During the 12th century in Europe, there was a radical change in the rate of new inventions
and innovations in the ways of managing traditional means of production and economic
growth. In less than a century, there were more inventions developed and applied usefully
than in the previous thousand years of human history all over the globe. The period saw
major technological advances, including the adoption or invention of printing, gunpowder,
spectacles, a better clock, the astrolabe, and greatly improved ships. The latter two
advances made possible the dawn of the Age of Exploration.
Alfred Crosby described some of this technological revolution in The Measure of
Reality : Quantification in Western Europe, 1250-1600 and other major historians of
technology have also noted it.

217 "... explosions that were tested and used in the past two years on Earth have the
potential to destroy all of life..."
"A doomsday device is a hypothetical construction — usually a weapon — which could
destroy all life on the Earth, or destroy the Earth itself (bringing "doomsday", a term used for
the end of planet Earth).
Doomsday devices have been present in literature and art especially in the 20th century,
when advances in science and technology allowed humans to imagine a definite and
plausible way of actively destroying the world or all life on it (or at least human life). Many
classics in the genre of science fiction take up the theme in this respect, especially The
Purple Cloud (1901) by M. P. Shiel in which the accidental release of a gas kills all people on
the planet.
After the advent of nuclear weapons, especially hydrogen bombs, they have usually been
the dominant components of fictional doomsday devices. RAND strategist Herman Kahn
proposed a "Doomsday Machine" in the 1950s which would consist of a computer linked to a
stockpile of hydrogen bombs, programmed to detonate them all and bathe the planet in
nuclear fallout at the signal of an impending nuclear attack from another nation. Such a
scheme, fictional as it was, epitomized for many the extremes of the suicidal logic behind the
strategy of mutually assured destruction, and it was famously parodied in the Stanley
301
Kubrick film from 1964, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
Bomb. It is also a main topic of the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes, in parallel with the
species extermination theme. Most such models either rely on the fact that hydrogen bombs
can be made arbitrarily large (see Teller-Ulam design) or that they can be "salted" with
materials designed to create long-lasting and hazardous fallout (e.g.; a cobalt bomb).
There are many unconfirmed, anecdotal reports of a Soviet doomsday device involving a
200-megaton hydrogen bomb sheathed in (or, alternately, "salted" with) a highly radioactive
material, usually said to be cobalt, of sufficient quantity to saturate the earth's atmosphere
with deadly fallout should the device be detonated. Details regarding this device vary
according to the source, but enough similarities in the dozens of different stories exist to
suggest at least some basis in truth. According to various sources, at some point between
1967 and 1985, the device was designed but never constructed; built but never activated;
built and activated, but dismantled at the end of the cold war; or designed and constructed in
such a manner that it can never be de-activated, and is still in existence today. Tales of its
location and means of operation are equally diverse: it was in an underground bunker west
of Moscow, Siberia, the Ukraine, etc.; it was installed on a special rocket booster that would
deliver it to the upper atmosphere upon activation; it was actually a series of bombs placed
at intervals along the western border of the USSR; it was to be detonated upon command
from the Kremlin, automatically by a special computer, a seismic trigger, or upon detection of
incoming missiles. Many more versions exist, such as one with the device being
permanently installed in the hold of an unmarked tramp freighter, steaming randomly from
port to port in the North Sea."

Revolutions Kuhn defines a scientific paradigm as:
• what is to be observed and scrutinized
• the kind of questions that are supposed to be asked and probed for answers in
relation to this subject
• how these questions are to be structured
• how the results of scientific investigations should be interpreted

formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the
polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the
Second Industrial Revolution. Contemporary biographers of Tesla have deemed him "the
man who invented the twentieth century" and "the patron saint of modern electricity."
After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1893 and after being the victor
in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as America's greatest electrical engineer.
Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries
were of groundbreaking importance. During this period, in the United States, Tesla's fame
rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture but due to his
eccentric personality and unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible
scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as
a "mad scientist". Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at
the age of 86.
Aside from his work on electromagnetism and engineering, Tesla is said to have
contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar
and computer science, and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics, and
theoretical physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as
being the inventor of the radio."
He performed several experiments prior to Roentgen's discovery (including photographing
the bones of his hand; later, he sent these images to Roentgen) but didn't make his findings
widely known; much of his research was lost in the 5th Avenue lab fire of March 1895.
A "world system" for "the transmission of electrical energy without wires" that
depends upon the electrical conductivity was proposed in which transmission in various
natural mediums with current that passes between the two point are used to power devices.
In a practical wireless energy transmission system using this principle, a high-power
ultraviolet beam might be used to form a vertical ionized channel in the air directly above the
transmitter-receiver stations. The same concept is used in virtual lightning rods, the
electrolaser electroshock weapon, and has been proposed for disabling vehicles.
Tesla demonstrated "the transmission of electrical energy without wires" that depends
upon electrical conductivity as early as 1891. The Tesla effect (named in honor of Tesla) is
the archaic term for an application of this type of electrical conduction (that is, the movement
of energy through space and matter; not just the production of voltage across a conductor)
Tesla also investigated harvesting energy that is present throughout space. He
believed that it was just merely a question of time when men will succeed in attaching their
machinery to the very wheelwork of nature, stating: Ere many generations pass, our
machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. —"Experiments
With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency" (February 1892)
Tesla began to theorize about electricity and magnetism's power to warp, or rather change,
space and time and the procedure by which man could forcibly control this power. Near the
end of his life, Tesla was fascinated with the idea of light as both a particle and a wave, a
fundamental proposition already incorporated into quantum physics. This field of inquiry led
to the idea of creating a "wall of light" by manipulating electromagnetic waves in a
certain pattern. This mysterious wall of light would enable time, space, gravity and matter to
be altered at will, and engendered an array of Tesla proposals that seem to leap
straight out of science fiction, including anti-gravity airships, teleportation, and time
travel.
303
The single strangest invention Tesla ever proposed was probably the "thought
photography" machine. He reasoned that a thought formed in the mind created a
corresponding image in the retina, and the electrical data of this neural transmission could
be read and recorded in a machine. The stored information could then be processed through
an artificial optic nerve and played back as visual patterns on a viewscreen.
Another of Tesla's theorized inventions is commonly referred to as Tesla's Flying Machine,
which appears to resemble an ion-propelled aircraft. Tesla claimed that one of his life
goals was to create a flying machine that would run without the use of an airplane
engine, wings, ailerons, propellers, or an onboard fuel source. Initially, Tesla pondered
about the idea of a flying craft that would fly using an electric motor powered by grounded
base stations. As time progressed, Tesla suggested that perhaps such an aircraft could be
run entirely electro-mechanically. The theorized appearance would typically take the
form of a cigar or saucer.
In the Colorado Springs lab, Tesla observed unusual signals that he later thought may
have been evidence of extraterrestrial radio communications coming from Venus or
Mars. He noticed repetitive signals from his receiver which were substantially different from
the signals he had noted from storms and earth noise. Specifically, he later recalled that the
signals appeared in groups of one, two, three, and four clicks together. Tesla had mentioned
before this event and many times after that he thought his inventions could be used to
talk with other planets. There have even been claims that he invented a "Teslascope" for
just such a purpose.
"I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no
properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only
attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing
with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes
curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to
subscribe to such a view." -- New York Herald Tribune, September 11, 1932
Tesla was critical of Einstein's relativity work, calling it :
"...[a] magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to
the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people
take for a king..., its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than
scientists... " -- New York Times, July 11, 1935, p 23, c.8
"Nikola Tesla invented the 20th and 21st Century. A 'discoverer of new principles,' Tesla was
the sole inventor of the alternating poly-phase current generators that light up every town in
the world today. He was the original inventor of the radio, and placed his ideas in print and
demonstrated them before the public 5 years before Marconi. By the turn of the century, he
had discussed the feasibility of television; he created an atom smasher capable of
evaporating rubies and diamonds; he built wireless neon lamps that gave off more light than
today's conventional bulbs provide; he built precursors to the electron microscope, the laser
and X-ray photographs. He sent his shadowgraphs to the discoverer of X-rays in 1895 as
soon a Roentgen published his famous pictures. Tesla also created Kirlian-like
photographs 75 years before they became famous. All of this took place before 1900!'
Tesla, and not Edison, invented the poly-phase alternators that power our modern
civilization; and it was Tesla who was eventually awarded Marconi's wireless patents long
after Tesla and Marconi were both dead. In all, Tesla contributed over 1200 patents, and we
304
are currently using only some 200 of them. Near everyone remembers the Tesla Coil, but
how many remember that he demonstrated wireless transmission of electric power prior to
1900?
When offered to share the Nobel Prize with Edison for their electrical inventions, Tesla
turned the prestigious award down! Edison never received the Nobel Prize.
Tesla is quoted as saying:
'In the dark I had the sense of a bat, and could detect the presence of an object at a
distance of 12 feet away by a peculiar creepy sensation on the forehead...'
'In Budapest, I could hear the ticking of a watch with 3 rooms between me and the
timepiece. A fly alighting on a table in the room would cause a dull thud in my ear. A
carriage passing at a distance of a few miles fairly shook my whole body. The whistle
of a locomotive 20 or 30 miles away made the bench or chair on which I sat vibrate so
strongly that the pain was unbearable. The ground under my feet trembled
continuously...'
Tesla said in an 1892 lecture :
'Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at
any point of the universe. Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or
kinetic? If static, our hopes are in vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - then it is
a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very
wheelwork of nature.'

220 "... will be able to "reverse engineer" the technology..."
"After joining the Army in 1942, Philip Corso served in Army Intelligence in Europe. In 1945,
Corso arranged for the safe passage of 10,000 Jewish WWII refugees out of Rome to
Palestine. During the Korean War (1950-1953), Corso performed Intelligence duties under
General Douglas MacArthur as Chief of the Special Projects branch of the Intelligence
Division, Far East Command. One of his primary duties was to keep track of enemy prisoner
of war (POW) camps in North Korea. Corso was in charge of investigating the estimated
number of U.S. and other United Nations POWs held at each camp and their treatment. At
later held congressional hearings of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs,
Philip Corso would provide testimony that many hundreds of American POW's were
abandoned at these camps.
Corso was on the staff of President Eisenhower's National Security Council for four years
(1953-1957). In 1961, he became Chief of the Pentagon's Foreign Technology desk in Army
Research and Development, working under Lt. Gen. Arthur Trudeau. When he left military
intelligence in 1963, Corso became a key aide to Senator Strom Thurmond. In 1964, Corso
was assigned to Warren Commission member Senator Richard Russell Jr. as an investigator
into the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Philip Corso relates in his book The Day After Roswell (co-author William J. Birnes) how he
stewarded extraterrestrial artifacts recovered from a crash at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
305
According to Corso, the reverse engineering of these artifacts indirectly led to the
development of accelerated particle beam devices, fiber optics, lasers, integrated
circuit chips and Kevlar material.
In 1947, according to Corso, a covert government group (see Majestic 12) was assembled
under the leadership of the first Director of Central Intelligence , Adm. Roscoe H.
Hillenkoetter. Among its tasks was to collect all information on extraterrestrial spacecraft.
The US administration simultaneously discounted the existence of flying saucers in the eyes
of the public, Corso says. Corso further relates that the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), or
Star Wars, was meant to achieve the capability of killing the electronic guidance systems of
incoming enemy warheads and disabling enemy spacecraft, including those of
extraterrestrial origin."

221 "... attuned to the "neural network" of the craft."
"Traditionally, the term Neural Networks had been used to refer to a network or circuit of
biological neurons. The modern usage of the term often refers to artificial neural networks,
which are composed of artificial neurons or nodes. Thus the term 'Neural Network' has two
distinct usages:
1) Biological neural networks are made up of real biological neurons that are
connected or functionally-related in the peripheral nervous system or the central nervous
system. In the field of neuroscience, they are often identified as groups of neurons that
perform a specific physiological function in laboratory analysis.
2) Artificial neural networks are made up of interconnecting artificial neurons
(programming constructs that mimic the properties of biological neurons). Artificial neural
networks may either be used to gain an understanding of biological neural networks, or
for solving artificial intelligence problems without necessarily creating a model of a real
biological system."

222 "...microscopic wiring or fibers..."
The transistor was invented in 1947. It was considered a revolution. Small, fast, reliable
and effective, it quickly replaced the vacuum tube. Freed from the limitations of the vacuum
tube, engineers finally could begin to realize the electrical constructions of their dreams.
It seems that the integrated circuit was destined to be invented. Two separate inventors,
unaware of each other's activities, invented almost identical integrated circuits or ICs at
nearly the same time.
Jack Kilby, an engineer with a background in ceramic-based silk screen circuit boards and
transistor-based hearing aids, started working for Texas Instruments in 1958. A year earlier,
research engineer Robert Noyce had co-founded the Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation.
From 1958 to 1959, both electrical engineers were working on an answer to the same
dilemma: how to make more of less.
306
Although the first integrated circuit was pretty crude and had some problems, the idea was
groundbreaking. By making all the parts out of the same block of material and adding the
metal needed to connect them as a layer on top of it, there was no more need for individual
discrete components. No more wires and components had to be assembled manually. The
circuits could be made smaller and the manufacturing process could be automated.
Jack Kilby (Texas Instruments) is probably most famous for his invention of the integrated
circuit, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in the year 2000. After his success
with the integrated circuit Kilby stayed with Texas Instruments and, among other things, he
led the team that invented the hand-held calculator.
Jack Kilby now holds patents on over sixty inventions and is also well known as the inventor
of the portable calculator (1967). In 1970 he was awarded the National Medal of Science.
Robert Noyce, with sixteen patents to his name, founded Intel, the company responsible for
the invention of the microprocessor, in 1968. But for both men the invention of the integrated
circuit stands historically as one of the most important innovations of mankind. Almost all
modern products use chip technology.

223 "...wiring is used for light, sub-light and ultra-light spectrum detection and vision."
An optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber designed to guide light along its length. Fiber
optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and
application of optical fibers. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communication,
which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than other forms
of communications. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along
them with less loss, and they are immune to electromagnetic interference. Optical fibers are
also used to form sensors, and in a variety of other applications.
In 1952, physicist Narinder Singh Kapany conducted experiments that led to the invention of
optical fiber, based on Tyndall's earlier studies; modern optical fibers, where the glass fiber
is coated with a transparent cladding to offer a more suitable refractive index, appeared later
in the decade.
In 1991, the emerging field of photonic crystals led to the development of photonic crystal
fiber (Science (2003), vol 299, page 358), which guides light by means of diffraction from a
periodic structure, rather than total internal reflection. The first photonic crystal fibers
became commercially available in 1996. Photonic crystal fibers can be designed to carry
higher power than conventional fiber, and their wavelength dependent properties can be
manipulated to improve their performance in certain applications."

224 "... fabrics of the interior of the craft..."
"Technical textiles is the term given to textile products manufactured for non aesthetic
purposes, where function is the primary criterion. This is a large and growing sector and
supports a vast array of other industries.
It has been heard that soon textiles will be merged with electronics in all areas. In future
wearable computers would be launched, these will not be like advance wrist watches etc,
307
they will contain IC s in fabric to develop fabric keyboards and other wearable computer
devices. These types of products are known as Interactive electronic textiles (IET).
Research to support IET development is being conducted in many universities. Growing
consumer interest in mobile, electronic devises will initiate the demand for IET products.
Technical textiles include textile structures for autmotive applications, medical textiles
(e.g. implants), geotextiles (reinforcement of embankments), agrotextiles (textiles for crop
protection), protective clothing (e.g. against heat and radiation for fire figther clothing,
against molten metals for welders, stab protection and bulletproof vests), spacesuits
(astronauts)."
Biotextiles are structures composed of textile fibers designed for use in specific biological
environments where their performance depends on biocompatibility and biostability with cells
and biological fluids. Biotextiles include implantible devices such as surgical sutures, hernia
repair fabrics, arterial grafts, artificial skin and parts of artificial hearts. They were first
created 30 years ago (1978) by Dr. Martin W. King, a professor in North Carolina State
Universitys College of Textiles.
Medical textiles are a broader group which also includes bandages, wound dressings,
hospital linen, preventive clothing etc. Antiseptic biotextiles are textiles used in fighting
against cutaneous bacterial proliferation. Zeolite and triclosan are at the present time the
most used molecules. This original property allows to inhibits the development of odors or
bacterial proliferation in the diabetic foot."

225 "... mechanisms for creating, amplifying and channeling light particles or waves
as a form of energy."
In 1947, Willis E. Lamb and R. C. Retherford found apparent stimulated emission in
hydrogen spectra and made the first demonstration of stimulated emission. In 1950, Alfred
Kastler (Nobel Prize for Physics 1966) proposed the method of optical pumping.
The work of Schawlow and Townes, however, can be traced back to the 1940sand early
50s* and their interest in the field of microwave spectroscopy, which had emerged as a
powerful tool for puzzling out the characteristics of a wide variety of molecules.
The invention of the laser, which stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of
radiation, can be dated to 1958 with the publication of the scientific paper, Infrared and
Optical Masers, by Arthur L. Schawlow, then a Bell Labs researcher, and Charles H.
Townes, a consultant to Bell Labs. That paper, published in Physical Review, the journal of
the American Physical Society, launched a new scientific field and opened the door to a
multibillion-dollar industry.
Many different materials can be used as lasers. Some, like the ruby laser, emit short pulses
of laser light. Others, like helium-neon gas lasers or liquid dye lasers emit a continuous
beam of light.
*NOTE: According to the book, "The Day After Roswell", reports about microwave and light
projecting components from the Roswell "flying disc", technology were "leaked" to Bell
Laboratories through the Pentagon.

226 " There are as many universes as there are IS-BEs to imagine and perceive them,
existing concurrently within it's own continuum."
The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes
(including our universe) that together comprise all of reality. The different universes within
the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes. The structure of the multiverse, the
nature of each universe within it and the relationship between the various constituent
universes, depend on the specific multiverse hypothesis considered.
Multiverses have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, philosophy,
theology, and fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy.
The specific term "multiverse," which was coined by William James, was popularized by
science fiction author Michael Moorcock. In these contexts, parallel universes are also
called "alternative universes," "quantum universes," "parallel worlds," "alternate realities,"
"alternative timelines," etc.
A multiverse of a somewhat different kind has been envisaged within the 11-dimensional
extension of string theory known as M-theory. In M-theory our universe and others are
created by collisions between membranes in an 11-dimensional space. This is unlike the
universes in the "quantum multiverse".
The string landscape theory asserts that a different universe exists for each of the very large
ensemble of solutions generated when ten dimensional string theory is reduced to the fourdimensional low-energy world we see.
"A common feature of all four multiverse levels is that the simplest and arguably most
elegant theory involves parallel universes by default. To deny the existence of those
universes, one needs to complicate the theory by adding experimentally unsupported
processes and ad hoc postulates: finite space, wave function collapse and ontological
asymmetry. Our judgment therefore comes down to which we find more wasteful and
inelegant: many worlds or many words."

228 "... just before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor..."
"The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack against the United States' naval base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the Japanese navy, at 0800 hours on the morning of Sunday,
December 7, 1941, resulting in the United States becoming involved in World War II.
Hostilities between the U.S. and Japan were expected by many observers, including
President Roosevelt, who read a decrypted Japanese message (on December 1st, 1941)
and told his assistant Harry Hopkins, "This means war."
At 03:42 Hawaiian Time, hours before commanding Admiral Chuichi Nagumo began
launching strike aircraft, the minesweeper USS Condor spotted a midget submarine outside
the harbor entrance and alerted destroyer USS Ward. Ward was initially unsuccessful in
locating the target. Hours later, Ward fired America's first shots in the Pacific theater of WWII
when she attacked and sank a midget submarine, perhaps the same one, at 06:37.
Closer to the moment of the attack, the attacking planes were detected and tracked as they
approached by an Army radar installation being operated that morning as a mostly unofficial
training exercise. The Opana Point radar station, operated by two enlisted men (Pvts.
Lockard and Elliot) plotted the approaching force, and their relief team plotted them returning
to the carriers. The initial radar returns were thought, by the ill-trained junior officer (Lt.
Kermit A. Tyler) in charge at the barely operational warning information center at Pearl
Harbor, to be a flight of American bombers expected from the mainland. In fact those
bombers did arrive, from a somewhat different bearing in the middle of the attack.
Additionally, Japanese submarines were sighted and attacked (by USS Ward) outside the
harbor entrance a few hours before the attack commenced, and at least one was sunk—all
before the planes came within even radar range. This might have provided enough notice to
disperse aircraft and fly off reconnaissance, except, yet again, reactions of the duty officers
were tardy. It has been argued failure to follow up on DF bearings saved USS Enterprise. If
she had been correctly directed, she might have run into the six carrier Japanese strike
force.
After the attack, the search for the attack force was concentrated south of Pearl Harbor,
continuing the confusion and ineffectiveness of the American response.
Another issue in the debate is the fact neither Admiral Kimmel nor General Short ever faced
court martial. It is alleged this was to avoid disclosing information conspirators would not
want to see made public. When asked, Kimmel replied, "Will historians know more later?
Kimmel's reply to this was: ' ... I'll tell you what I believe. I think that most of the incriminating
records have been destroyed. ... I doubt if the truth will ever emerge.' ...".
It is equally,
probably more, likely this was done to avoid disclosing the fact Japanese codes were being
read, given there was a war on."

"Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the US entry into World War II, Doolittle was
promoted to Lieutenant Colonel on January 2, 1942, and went to Headquarters Army Air
Force to plan the first aerial raid on the Japanese homeland. He volunteered and received
Gen. H.H. Arnold's approval to lead the attack of 16 B-25 medium bombers from the aircraft
carrier USS Hornet, with targets in Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, and Nagoya. It was the first and
only combat mission of his military career.
Doolittle received the Medal of Honor, presented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the
White House, for planning and leading the successful operation. The Doolittle Raid is viewed
by historians as a major public-relations victory for the United States. Although the amount of
damage done to Japanese war industry was minor, the raid showed the Japanese their
homeland was not invulnerable.
Doolittle was portrayed by Spencer Tracy in the 1944 film Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and by
Alec Baldwin in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor, in which the Doolittle raid was depicted.
On May 10, 1946, Doolittle reverted to inactive reserve status and returned to Shell Oil as a
vice president, and later as a director. He was the highest-ranking reserve officer to serve in
the U.S. military in World War II."

234 "... Charles Lindbergh was also in the office..."
"Charles Lindbergh gained sudden great international fame as the first pilot to fly solo across
the Atlantic Ocean. He flew from Roosevelt Airfield in Garden City, New York, to Paris (Le
Bourget Airport) on 20 May - 21 May 1927 in 33.5 hours. His plane was the single-engine
aircraft, The Spirit of St. Louis.
Lindbergh's accomplishment won him the Orteig Prize; more significant than the prize
money was the acclaim that resulted from his daring flight. A ticker-tape parade was held for
him down 5th Avenue in New York City on 13 June 1927.
His public stature following this flight was such that he became an important voice on behalf
of aviation activities, including the central committee of the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics in the United States. The massive publicity surrounding him and his flight
boosted the aircraft industry and made a skeptical public take air travel seriously. Lindbergh
is recognized in aviation for demonstrating and charting polar air-routes, high altitude flying
techniques, and increasing aircraft flying range by decreasing fuel consumption. These
innovations are the basis of modern intercontinental air travel.
In his six months during WW II in the Pacific in 1944, Lindbergh took part in fighter bomber
raids on Japanese positions, flying about 50 combat missions (as a civilian). The U.S.
Marine and Army Air Force pilots who served with Lindbergh admired and respected him,
praising his courage and defending his patriotism.
After World War II he lived quietly in Connecticut as a consultant both to the chief of staff of
the U.S. Air Force and to Pan American World Airways. His 1953 book The Spirit of St.
Louis, recounting his non-stop transatlantic flight, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1954.
Dwight D. Eisenhower restored Lindbergh's assignment with the Army Air Corps and made
him a Brigadier General in 1954. In that year, he served on the Congressional advisory
panel set up to establish the site of the United States Air Force Academy. In December
1968, he visited the crew of Apollo 8 on the eve of the first manned spaceflight to leave earth
orbit.
From the 1960s on, Lindbergh became an advocate for the conservation of the natural
world, campaigning to protect endangered species like humpback and blue whales, was
instrumental in establishing protections for the "primitive" Filipino group the Tasaday and
African tribes, and supporting the establishment of a national park. While studying the native
312
flora and fauna of the Philippines, he also became involved in an effort to protect the
Philippine eagle.
In his final years, Lindbergh became troubled that the world was out of balance with
its natural environment; he stressed the need to regain that balance, and spoke against
the introduction of supersonic airliners.
Lindbergh's speeches and writings later in life emphasized his love of both
technology and nature, and a lifelong belief that "all the achievements of mankind
have value only to the extent that they preserve and improve the quality of life."
In a 1967 Life magazine article, he said, "The human future depends on our ability to
combine the knowledge of science with the wisdom of wildness."

in August of 1947:
"A Review of Over 23,000 Treatments Using Unidirectional Currents
1. Forty percent of the most chronic patients showed significant improvement in ward
behavior if adequately and repeatedly treated with suitable type of electroshock therapy.
Relapses must be treated whenever they occur over months and years.
2. At least 60% of early cases, aged 60 or under, were rehabilitated within 1 year when
adequately treated and 65% by the end of the second year after the start of treatment.
3. Adequate treatment means intensive treatment until the expected improvement has
occurred and intensive treatment of relapses when they occur. No patient, otherwise suitable
who still is not rehabilitated after 1 year, has had an adequate trial of treatment with less than
20 treatments.
4. An ideal therapy is one which achieves beneficial results without causing accumulating
brain damage, thus permitting its use repeatedly for years if necessary.
5. This ideal is approached by the relatively low intensity 60-cycle pulsating direct current
used in the treatment of the patients reviewed in this paper. This technique also has been
accompanied by an exceptionally low percentage of skeletal complications."

237 "...introduced himself as Mr. John Reid ..."
"John Edward Reid, American criminologist developed a Polygraph in 1945 which was
a scientific recording device designed to register a person's bodily responses to being
questioned. Popularly known as a lie detector, the polygraph has been used chiefly in
criminal investigations, although it is also used in employment and security screening
practices. Because no machine can unerringly recognize when a person is lying, the
polygraph results are used in conjunction with other evidence, observations, and information.
Emotional stress reflected by this test, for instance, need not be due to lying. On the other
hand, a subject may be a pathological liar and therefore show no measurable bodily
responses when giving false answers. Ordinary nervousness, individual physical or mental
abnormalities, discomfort, excessive pretest interrogation, or indifference to a question also
affect test accuracy. The polygraph can, however, provide a basis for an evaluation of
whether or not the subject's answers are truthful. This test has also been helpful in
exonerating innocent persons accused of crimes.
A polygraph is actually several instruments combined to simultaneously record changes in
blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. The electrical conductivity of the skin's surface can
also be measured—increased sweat-gland activity reduces the skin's ability to carry
electrical current."

238 "...lie detector testing..."
"Dr. William Moulton Marston (May 9, 1893 May 2, 1947) was an American psychologist,
feminist theorist, inventor, and comic book author who created the character Wonder
Woman. Two strong women, his wife Elizabeth Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne, (who
lived with the couple in a polyamorous relationship), served as exemplars for the character
and greatly influenced her creation.
Dr. William Moulton Marston is credited as the creator of the systolic blood-pressure test
used in an attempt to detect deception, which became one component of the modern
polygraph. According to their son, Marston's wife, Elizabeth Holloway Marston, was also
involved in the development of the systolic blood-pressure test: "According to Marstons son,
it was his mother Elizabeth, Marstons wife, who suggested to him that 'When she got mad
or excited, her blood pressure seemed to climb'. This would be the basis for Wonder
Woman's Lasso of Truth.
The FBI considered William Moulton Marston, who invented the lie detector and created
the comic book character Wonder Woman under the pseudonym Charles Moulton, to be a
'phony' and a 'crackpot.' He is alleged to have misrepresented the result of a study he
conducted for the Gillette razor company in 1938, for which he reportedly received some
$30,000, a handsome sum in those days. Despite these misgivings, the FBI today uses
Marston's creation (the polygraph, not the Lasso of Truth) to guide investigations as well
as to screen applicants and employees."

239 "...truth serum..."
"Sodium thiopental, better known as Sodium Pentothal (a trademark of Abbott
Laboratories), thiopental, thiopentone sodium, or trapanal, is a rapid-onset short-acting
barbiturate general anaesthetic. It is an intravenous ultra-short-acting barbiturate. Sodium
thiopental is a depressant and is sometimes used during interrogations - not to cause pain
(in fact, it may have just the opposite effect), but to weaken the resolve of the subject and
make him or her more compliant to pressure.
Thiopental is still used in some places as a truth serum. The barbiturates as a class
decrease higher cortical brain functioning. Psychiatrists hypothesize that because lying is
more complex than telling the truth, suppression of the higher cortical functions may lead to
the uncovering of the "truth". However, the reliability of confessions made under thiopental is
dubious; the drug tends to make subjects chatty and cooperative with interrogators, but a
practiced liar or someone who has a false story firmly established would still be quite able to
lie while under the influence of the drug."

240 "...the Witness Protection Program..."
"(also known as the Witness Security Program, or WitSec) was established under Title V
of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, which in turn sets out the manner in which the
U.S. Attorney General may provide for the relocation and protection of a witness or potential
witness of the federal government, or for a state government in an official proceeding
concerning organized crime or other serious offenses. See 18 U.S.C.A 3521 et. seq.
The Federal Government also gives grants to the states to enable them to provide similar
services. The federal program is called WITSEC (the Federal Witness Protection Program)
and was founded in the late 1960s by Gerald Shur when he was in the Organized Crime and
Racketeering Section of the United States Department of Justice. Most witnesses are
protected by the U.S. Marshals Service, while protection of incarcerated witnesses is the
duty of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Normally, the witness is provided with a new name and location. Witnesses are encouraged
to keep their first names and choose last names with the same initial. The U.S. Marshals
Service provides new documentation, assists in finding housing and employment and
provides a stipend until the witness gets on his or her feet, but the stipend can be
discontinued if the U.S. Marshals Service feels that the witness is not making an aggressive
effort to find a job. Witnesses are not to travel back to their hometowns or contact
unprotected family members or former associates. Around 17 percent of protected witnesses
that have committed a crime will commit another crime, compared to the almost 40 percent
of parolees who return to crime. This has led to action by Congressional committees
requiring WITSEC and other witness protection programs to notify local officials of a witness'
transfer before relocating them.
Many states, including California, Illinois, and New York, have their own witness protection
programs for crimes not covered by the federal program. The state-run programs provide
less extensive protections than the federal program."

241 "... Suleiman the Magnificent..."
"Suleiman I (Ottoman Turkish:  Sulaymān, Turkish: Süleyman; almost always
Kanuni Sultan Süleyman in Turkish) (November 6, 1494 September 5/6, 1566), was the
tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, from 1520 to his death in 1566. He
is known in the West as Suleiman the Magnificent and in the East, as the Lawgiver (in
Turkish Kanuni; Arabic:  , alQānūnī), for his complete reconstruction of the
Ottoman legal system. Suleiman became the pre-eminent monarch of 16th century Europe,
presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire's military, political and economic power.
Suleiman personally led Ottoman armies to conquer the Christian strongholds of Belgrade,
Rhodes, and most of Hungary before his conquests were checked at the Siege of Vienna in
1529. He annexed most of the Middle East in his conflict with the Persians and large
swathes of North Africa as far west as Algeria. Under his rule, the Ottoman fleet dominated
the seas from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.
At the helm of an expanding empire, Suleiman personally instituted legislative changes
relating to society, education, taxation, and criminal law. His canonical law (or the Kanuns)
fixed the form of the empire for centuries after his death. Not only was Suleiman a
distinguished poet and goldsmith in his own right; he also became a great patron of culture,
overseeing the golden age of the Ottoman Empire's artistic, literary and architectural
development.
In a break with Ottoman tradition, Suleiman married a harem girl who became Hürrem
Sultan, whose intrigues in the court and power over the Sultan have become as famous as
Suleiman himself."
-- Reference: Wikipedia.org
242 "... His assistant was a harem girl who rose up from slavery to become his wife..."
" According to late sixteenth century and early seventeenth century sources such as the
Polish poet Samuel Twardowski, she was born in the town which was then part of the
Kingdom of Poland. She was captured by Crimean Tatars during one of their frequent raids
into this region and taken as a slave, probably first to the Crimean city of Kaffa, a major
centre of the slave trade, then to Istanbul, and was selected for Süleyman's harem.
Suleiman was infatuated with Hurrem Sultan, a harem girl of Ruthenian origin. In the West
foreign diplomats, taking notice of the palace gossip about her, called her "Russelazie" or
"Roxolana", referring to her Slavic origins. The daughter of an Orthodox Ukrainian priest,
she was captured and rose through the ranks of the Harem to become Suleiman's favorite.
Breaking with two centuries of Ottoman tradition, a former concubine had thus
become the legal wife of the Sultan, much to the astonishment of observers in the palace
and the city. He also allowed Hurrem Sultan to remain with him at court for the rest of
her life, breaking another tradition—that when imperial heirs came of age, they would be
sent along with the imperial concubine who bore them to govern remote provinces of the
Empire, never to return unless their progeny succeeded to the throne.
Under his pen name, Muhibbi, Suleiman composed this poem for Roxolana:
"Throne of my lonely niche, my wealth, my love, my moonlight.
My most sincere friend, my confidant, my very existence, my Sultan, my one and only love.
316
The most beautiful among the beautiful…
My springtime, my merry faced love, my daytime, my sweetheart, laughing leaf…
My plants, my sweet, my rose, the one only who does not distress me in this world…
My Istanbul, my Caraman, the earth of my Anatolia
My Badakhshan, my Baghdad and Khorasan
My woman of the beautiful hair, my love of the slanted brow, my love of eyes full of
mischief…
I'll sing your praises always
I, lover of the tormented heart, Muhibbi of the eyes full of tears, I am happy."
Roxelana, as she is better known in Europe, is well-known both in modern Turkey and in the
West, and is the subject of many artistic works. She has inspired paintings, musical
works (including Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 63), an opera by Denys Sichynsky, a
ballet, plays, and several novels."

243 "... Queen Elizabeth..."
Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Queen of
Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen,
Gloriana, The Faerie Queen or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch
of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother,
Anne Boleyn, was executed three years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared
illegitimate. Perhaps for that reason, her brother, Edward VI, cut her out of the succession.
His will, however, was set aside, as it contravened the Third Succession Act of 1543, in
which Elizabeth was named as successor provided that Mary I of England, Elizabeth's halfsister, should die without issue. In 1558, Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister, during whose
reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant
rebels.
Elizabeth set out to rule by good counsel. One of her first moves was to support the
establishment of an English Protestant church, of which she became the Supreme Governor.
This Elizabethan Religious Settlement held firm throughout her reign and later evolved into
today's Church of England. It was expected that Elizabeth would marry, but despite several
petitions from parliament, she never did. The reasons for this choice are unknown, and they
have been much debated. As she grew older, Elizabeth became famous for her virginity,
and a cult grew up around her which was celebrated in the portraits, pageants and literature
of the day.
One of her mottos was video et taceo: "I see, and say nothing".
This strategy, viewed with impatience by her counselors, often saved her from political and
marital misalliances. Though Elizabeth was cautious in foreign affairs and only half-heartedly
supported a number of ineffective, poorly resourced military campaigns in the Netherlands,
France and Ireland, the defeat of the Spanish armada in 1588 associated her name
forever with what is popularly viewed as one of the greatest victories in British
history. Within twenty years of her death, she was being celebrated as the ruler of a
golden age, an image that retains its hold on the English people. Elizabeth's reign is known
as the Elizabethan era, famous above all for the flourishing of English drama, led by
playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe."

244 "... he was incarnated as Cecil Rhodes."
Cecil John Rhodes, (July 5, 1853 March 26, 1902) was a British-born South African
businessman, mining magnate, and politician. He was the founder of the diamond company
De Beers, which today markets 60% of the world's rough diamonds and at one time
marketed 90%. He was an ardent believer in colonialism and was the founder of the state of
Rhodesia, which was named after him.
Rhodes profited greatly from controlling Southern Africa's natural resources, the proceeds of
which funded the Rhodes Scholarship upon his death. Rhodes never married, pleading
that "I have too much work on my hands" and saying that he would not be a dutiful
husband. Queen Victoria reportedly asked him if he was a woman-hater, which Rhodes
denied insisting “How could I dislike a sex to which your Majesty belongs?”
Rhodes famously declared:
"To think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds which we
can never reach. I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me
sad to see them so clear and yet so far."

245 "... she was a Polish princess..."
"Princess Catherine Radziwill (March 30, 1858 - May 12, 1941) was a Polish princess
from a famous Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic family called the Radziwills. She was born as
Countess Ekaterina Adamovna Rzewuska. She married Prince Wilhelm Radziwill at age 15
and moved to Berlin to live with his family. It was speculated that she was the author of a
book gossiping about the German Emperor William II and Berlin society in 1884 under the
pen name Paul Vasili.
She stalked the English-born South African politician Cecil Rhodes and asked him to
marry her, but he refused. She wrote a biography of Rhodes called "Cecil Rhodes:
Man and Empire Maker".

246 "... One was named Kelly..."
William Kelly (August 22, 1811 - February 11, 1888), born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was
an American inventor. Kelly studied metallurgy at the Western University of Pennsylvania.
Kelly started experimenting with his "air-boiling process," a process of blowing air up through
molten iron to reduce the carbon content, in 1847. His initial goal was to reduce the amount
of fuel required for iron and steel making, because of the immense amount of timber
required to make the charcoal. He discovered that, contrary to the expectations of his iron
workers, the injected air did not cool the molten iron, but instead combined with the carbon
to cause the iron to boil and burn violently until the carbon was greatly reduced, improving
the quality of the iron or converting it to steel. His experiments began in 1847. The same
process was later independently invented and patented by Henry Bessemer."

247 "...the other was Bessemer..."
"Sir Henry Bessemer (January 19, 1813 March 15, 1898), English engineer and inventor.
Bessemer's name is chiefly known in connection with the Bessemer process for the
manufacturing of steel. Patents of such obvious value did not escape criticism, and
invalidity was freely urged against them on various grounds. But Bessemer was fortunate
enough to maintain them intact without litigation, though he found it advisable to buy up the
rights of one patentee, while in another case he was freed from anxiety by the patent being
allowed to lapse in 1859 through non-payment of fees."

248 " Another IS-BE who did this was Alexander Bell..."
"As is sometimes common in scientific discoveries, simultaneous developments can occur,
as evidenced by a number of inventors who were at work on the telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847 2 August 1922) was an eminent scientist, inventor
and innovator who is credited with the invention of the telephone. His father, grandfather and
brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother
and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work. His research on hearing
and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices that eventually culminated
in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the invention of the telephone in 1876.
In reflection, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a
scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study."

249 ..." it was invented by several others, including Elisha Gray."
"Elisha Gray (August 2, 1835 January 21, 1901) was an American electrical engineer and
is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park, Illinois,
U.S.A.. Mr. Elisha Gray, of Chicago also devised a tone telegraph of this kind about the
same time as Herr La Cour. In this apparatus a vibrating steel reed interrupted the current,
which at the other end of the line passed through an electromagnet and vibrated a matching
steel reed near its poles. Gray's 'harmonic telegraph,' with the vibrating reeds, was used by
the Western Union Telegraph Company. Since more than one set of vibrations — that is to
say, more than one note — can be sent over the same wire simultaneously, the harmonic
telegraph can be utilised as a 'multiplex' or many-ply telegraph, conveying several messages
through the same wire at once; and these can either be read by the operator by the sound,
or a permanent record can be made by the marks drawn on a ribbon of travelling paper by a
Morse recorder. Bell's March 10, 1876 laboratory notebook entry describing his first
successful experiment with the telephone.
Bell's patent application for the telephone was filed in the US patent office on February 14,
1876. The usual story says that Bell got to the patent office an hour or two before his
rival Elisha Gray, and that Gray lost his rights to the telephone as a result.
319
According to Gray's account, his patent caveat was taken to the US patent office a few
hours before Bell's application, shortly after the patent office opened and remained near the
bottom of the in-basket until that afternoon. Bell's application was filed shortly before noon
on 14 February by Bell's lawyer who requested that the filing fee be entered immediately
onto the cash receipts blotter and that Bell's application be taken to the examiner
immediately. Late that afternoon, the fee for Gray's caveat was entered on the cash blotter
and the caveat was not taken to the examiner until the following day. The fact that Bell's
filing fee was recorded earlier than Gray's fee led to the story that Bell had arrived at the
patent office earlier. Bell was in Boston on February 14 and did not know this was happening
until he arrived in Washington on February 26. Whether Bell's application was filed before or
after Gray's caveat no longer mattered, because Gray abandoned his caveat, which opened
the door to Bell being granted U.S. Patent 174,465 for the telephone on 7 March 1876."
