Zecharia Sitchin - Ancient Aliens = Hogwash

[Whaler]

PROTOCOL No. 4

WE SHALL DESTROY GOD

3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the well-being of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality, which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established subordination. With such a faith as this a people might be governed by a wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zecharia_Sitchin

Zecharia Sitchin (born July 11, 1920) is an author of books promoting an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Sitchin attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he claims to be a race of extra-terrestrials from a hypothetical planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru, which he believes to be in an elongated, elliptical orbit in the Earth's own Solar System, asserting that Sumerian mythology reflects this view. Throughout the years his theories have contributed to many cultural ideas and movies.

Sitchin is Wrong
http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/sitchinerrors.htm#intro

The work of Zecharia Sitchin was brought to my attention just over a year ago, shortly after I completed my book, The Façade.  As a trained scholar in ancient Semitic languages with a lifelong interest in UFOs and paranormal phenomena, I was naturally enthused about Mr. Sitchin's studies, particularly since I had also heard he was a Sumerian scholar.  I thought I had found a kindred spirit, perhaps even a guide to navigating the possible intersection of my academic disciplines with ufology, a discipline unfairly ridiculed by the academic mainstream.  Unfortunately, I was wrong.

    What follows will no doubt trouble some readers.  I have come to learn that Mr. Sitchin has an avid following, and so that is inevitable.  Nevertheless, I feel it my responsibility as someone who has earned credentials in the languages, cultures, and history of antiquity to point out the errors in Mr. Sitchin's work.  Indeed, this is the academic enterprise.  I have yet to find anyone with credentials or demonstrable lay-expertise in Sumerian, Akkadian, or any of the other ancient Semitic languages who positively assesses Mr. Sitchin's academic work.

    The reader must realize that the substance of my disagreement is not due to "translation philosophy," as though Mr. Sitchin and I merely disagree over possible translations of certain words.  What is at stake is the integrity of the cuneiform tablets themselves, along with the legacy of Sumer and Mesopotamian scribes.  Very simply, the ancient Mesopotamians compiled their own dictionaries - we have them and they have been published since mid-century. The words Mr. Sitchin tells us refer to rocket ships have no such meanings according to the ancient Mesopotamians themselves.  Likewise when Mr. Sitchin draws connections between Sumero-Mesopotamian gods and stories that simply do not exist in the literature (like insisting the Sumerians believed there were twelve planets and having the Anunnaki living on Nibiru, the supposed 12th planet), my argument with him is one that opposes such fabrications, not just one how words are translated.  To persist in embracing Mr. Sitchin's views on this matter (and a host of others) amounts to rejecting the legacy of the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian scribes whose labors have come down to us from the ages.  Put bluntly, is it more coherent to believe a Mesopotamian scribe's definition of a word, or Mr. Sitchin's?

    I do believe that Mr. Sitchin has done some kind of work in the ancient languages (I have never seen academic credentials in the form of degrees or transcripts), but some of the mistakes he makes are at so basic a level of language knowledge that I  sincerely doubt he knows ANY of the ancient languages he says he does.  I'm guessing that with Hebrew, for example, Mr. Sitchin (being Jewish) can sight-read the language but doesn't understand ancient Biblical Hebrew grammar (much like many English readers don't have a real grasp of the mechanics of English grammar).  I have seen little that convinces me that Mr. Sitchin knows any ancient languages, much less demonstrating that he is a language "expert".  I say this because of Mr. Sitchin's linguistic mistakes (see below), and because he rarely interacts with scholarly articles pertaining to any linguistic material in the texts he uses.  Unfortunately, there are even points he just makes up.  

    The reader should also know that I believe that the strange phenomena people have experienced in antiquity through the present day with respect to "UFOs" and "aliens" are real.  The Facade offers an alternative paradigm to these phenomena, one that, contrary to Mr. Sitchin's reconstruction, CAN be defended (if the connections be legitimate) through ancient texts.  

Mr. Sitchin's Errors:  The Specifics

1)  An overview of Cylinder Seal VA 243

    A fairly thorough treatment of the problems with Sitchin's interpretation and use of this seal is available (free) as a PDF file HERE.

2)  A Study of Nibiru

    Again, a few of the basic issues are explained here with a more lengthy follow-up available in PDF form.

3) Mr. Sitchin insists that "Elohim" in Genesis 1:26-27 is plural, thereby "requiring" us to interpret that passage as supporting his idea that extraterrestrial "gods" (The Annunaki) created humankind.  (See The 12th Planet, p. 337-338).

    Mr. Sitchin's comments in this regard show either a refusal to consider the Hebrew grammar of this passage, or outright ignorance of that grammar (i.e., he just never looked).  "Elohim" does NOT always mean "gods" (plural); the meaning of the term is to be determined by grammatical and contextual clues.  GRAMMAR is IMPORTANT!  Grammar is to language what your graphical internet browser is to the websites on the internet - it is the organizing vehicle that gives meaning to the data -bits of information; without it you'd have to create your own method of obtaining and understanding that information - it would be totally SELF STYLED.  Grammar dictates the formation of words, the relationship of words to each other, and the meaning of those words with respect to that arrangement.  Without attention to the rules of grammar that have governed the languages of ancient texts, you can make the texts say ANYTHING; grammar is a control against total subjectivity.   Sitchin ignores grammar in his work on elohim in this passage (and others).  The PDF files below illustrate (from the Hebrew) that "elohim" often refers to a "god" or "God" (proper name).  Besides this evidence from the Hebrew Bible, I have also posted examples from ancient Mesopotamian texts (Akkadian) and the famous El-Amarna texts (also Akkadian) where the plural word for "gods" ('ilanu) refers to a single person or god - just as in the case of Hebrew elohim.  Why is Sitchin (and others) unaware of this material?  Someone trained in the ancient languages would know about this - and if he knows it, why doesn't he tell his readers!?

    Here is the PDF file on Sitchin's erroneous teachings on the word "elohim".  The overheads include examples of the Akkadian word for "gods" (plural ilanu) used to refer to SINGLE gods or individuals.

    For an expanded treatment of the meaning of Elohim, complete with visual examples (you need not know Hebrew), click on the link below.  Mr. Sitchin's webmaster, Erik Parker, attempted to respond to my criticisms of his mentor's work, with disastrous results.  In case the reader thinks I am picking on Mr. Parker, it is fair to say the arguments he uses are Sitchin's, not his own (he knows Sitchin's work very well).  To really see how poor Sitchin's scholarship is on the word Elohim (as well as those who parrot his work, like Laurence Gardner and William Henry), click here.

4) Mr. Sitchin contends that the word "Nephilim" means "those who came down from above" or "those who descended to earth" or "people of the fiery rockets" (see The Twelfth Planet, pp. vii, 128ff.).  

    These translations, of course, serve his purpose - to see the Nephilim as ancient astronauts.  As such it is hard to over-estimate the importance of Sitchin's work here - if he's wrong about the meaning of "nephilim," much of his overall thesis falls.

    Unfortunately for Sitchin, such translations are completely out of step with the Hebrew text and the word which is at the base of "Nephilim."  Once again ignoring the grammar of the text (and actually making up his own word meaning in this case), Sitchin makes the following errors, addressed in the PDF files below.

        Sitchin assumes "Nephilim" comes from the Hebrew word "naphal" (as opposed to ARAMAIC - see below) which usually means "to fall."  He then forces the meaning "to come down" onto the word, creating his "to come down from above" translation.  "Nephilim" - in the form we find it in the Hebrew Bible - COULD come from Hebrew "naphal," but it could ONLY be translated one way in light of the spelling  - "those who are fallen" (i.e., either "fallen in battle" - which is out of the question given the context of Genesis 6 - or "spiritually fallen" / evil - which fits the context IF the sons of God are evil).  To see that the sons of God in Genesis 6 were evil divine beings and this cohabitation was evil, one needs only to turn to either Jude 6-7 and II Peter 2:4-6, or the Book of Enoch.

        The scholarly reasons for my assertion are demonstrated in the PDF file on the Nephilim.  In short, if you care about the grammar of Hebrew, Sitchin's word meanings CAN'T be correct.

        The above file also discusses Sitchin's confusion of the sons of God and the nephilim - and evidence from his own book, Stairway to Heaven, that he cannot distinguish between Hebrew and Aramaic!  My suspicion behind this apparent blunder is that Sitchin wants to distance the Annunaki from the evil Watchers of ancient Jewish literature (Hebrew Bible, Enoch, and some Dead Sea Scrolls).  

5)  Mr. Sitchin argues that certain Sumerian terms (and the Akkadian equivalents) refer to flying craft.  

    Specifically, the terms used by Mr. Sitchin to argue for ancient rockets and space flight are Sumerian "MU" (Akkadian "shamu"; Hebrew "shem") and Sumerian "ME" (see The 12th Planet, pp. 130 ff.).   Mr. Sitchin argues in turn that the Genesis account of the tower of Babel, where the people wanted to make for themselves a "shem," actually describes the construction of a flying craft/rocket.

    There are a number of difficulties with Sitchin's arguments and his use of the languages here.

    A.  The Meaning of "MU", "shamu",, and "shem"

        As noted above, the ancient Mesopotamian scribes created dictionaries.  Lists of words are a common feature among the thousands of Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform tablets which have been discovered by archaeologists.  Many are just groupings of common words, while others represent an inventory of the word meanings of the languages used in Mesopotamia.  These "lexical lists", as scholars call them, were indispensable to the 19th century scholars who deciphered the Sumerian and Akkadian texts, for they were used to compile modern dictionaries of these languages.  Today all major lexical texts have been published in the multi-volume set, Materials for the Sumerian Lexicon, begun by Benno Landsberger in the 1930s.  It is indeed a rare instance where ancient dictionaries of a dead language form the core of the modern dictionaries used by scholars of today.  Such is the case for the ancient languages of Sumer and Akkad.  Sadly, Mr. Sitchin neglects these resources.

        The Meaning of Sumerian "MU"

        On pages 140-143 of The 12th Planet, we read that Mr. Sitchin defines the Sumerian MU as "an oval-topped, conical object," and "that which rises straight." Mr. Sitchin cites no Sumerian dictionary for these meanings.  A check of the dictionaries contained in Sumerian grammars and the online Sumerian dictionary reveal no such word meanings.  But why trust modern scholars when we can check with the Mesopotamian scribes themselves?

        In his technical but stimulating study of Sumerian and Mesopotamian terminology for the cosmos, Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography, Mesopotamian scholar W. Horowitz lays out the meaning of the Sumerian word "MU" directly as the Mesopotamian lexical lists have it.  In discussing the meaning of the Akkadian word "shamu," in his book, Horowitz gathered all the lexical list data for that word.  What follows below is his layout.  Note that the word "MU" in the left-hand (Sumerian) was among the cuneiform dictionary entries for "shamu." A discussion of the meanings follows the entries.  Briefly, "shamu" in Akkadian here means "heaven" (or part of the sky/heavens) or perhaps "rain." According to the scribal tablets themselves, the meaning is not "that which rises straight," or "conical object" (i.e., "rocket ship"). This is the verdict of the scribes themselves, not this writer.  The red explanatory insertions are my own:

Cool blog, I just bookmarked it. Looking forward to the article.

I'm interested in replies, and yours tim.
"for example, Mr. Sitchin (being Jewish) can sight-read the language but doesn't understand ancient Biblical Hebrew grammar (much like many English readers don't have a real grasp of the mechanics of English grammar)." this is very trustworthy statement. Other information I've gotten from people who should know have said that modern hebrew newspapers are unreadable to ancient language scholars and visa-versa. These are essentially two different languages sharing what might appear to be common characters.

I've debunked this 'Zacharia' personality on a hasbara basis, on the basis he wrote/writes so many books, it's like a bad series of long fiction novellas designed to waste the 'goyims' time and distract him with no fruitful production. And on top of that, defeat the 'goyim's faith in the creator. The creator is not to be confused with the word 'god', which is batted about as though it is the same; god I feel is a kind of generic term, not describing the creator rather describing the most highly-evolved state of man, which we should all be seeking to achieve. This is a lesson to some posters not be stuck in anger, which is a negative emotion with a spiritual basis keeping us back!

'God', much as the criminals bat around the idea that ISRAEL CORPORATE entity is the same as the ancient israelites. Regardless of what you feel of the old people, it seems stories like moses are pan-arabic, and don't seem confined to their specific interpretations (since we are talking about origin stories or parables). These people of today and going back a few thousand years are just bad imitations of the earlier ones, with their 'secret oral knowledge'; sounds like an admission (like the so-called 'fraudian slip') of paedophile rabbi's giving head to students or visa versa.

So you see 'their' history for 'us' being a perverted rendition of the norm, much as 'Zacharia' INC puts out these crap 'history novellas for the goy', and probably actually knows very little himself of useful history, as he is coming from an ideology of a group of people who don't believe in the value of history, and this is why they behave as 'mad dogs' as Gilad has written: no sense of their actions having repercussions. No history books of their own have been written in a few hundred year period during the recent past; nothing to interfere in their mind with the 'fake history for the goy' when they sit down to interviews. And besides, because of this conciousness of 'no value of history', and no conciousness as to this make believe (i.e. lying), they in a sick way have no additional problems - according to their ideology, not (the laws of) nature - to sit down and spew garbage.

Sitchin is more of a propagandist than a fraud. He is not simply trying to sell books through scam, he has a deliberate agenda.

That's an excellent point. Jews constantly try to twist historical facts in their favor. Other cultures seem to acknowledge mistakes and can learn from their past errors. Jews seem to want to attribute any unfortunate event in their history to persecution at the hands of the gentile. That's why you see Jews act with such outrage at any mention of Jewish crimes throughout history. The Jews conditioning makes them associate any criticism with "hate" and "holocaust". The Jewish elite have done a number on their people. What they have done is create an army of unknowing co-conspirators that will energetically try to silence any attempt at uncovering the truth about history.

[Timothy_Fitzpatrick]

Yep, and its why the Liberal movement is so Jewish. They are constantly scrambling to find a way to victimize some group.

[§N9sh2bj]

I can't write a whole lot just now and that's maybe for the better.

Forgive me for the earlier post if the paragraphs were a bit too big and it could have been crafted better.


It seems that an E.P. Grodine (maybe Groedine) has had an earlier book listed in the catalogue of a 'David Hatcher Childress'. Now he wrote a history and with what we know we can fill in the blanks and compensate for E.P.'s own programming/imprinting/brainwashing/hasbara.

The subject of the earlier book by E.P. is not really important, it's important to know in this later draft book (available free at the link below) E.P. publishes the background of 'David Hatcher Childress' and the entire pre-ceeding line he comes from. Zacharia is probably part of that mix.

Essentially what you have is another angle of the criminal/israeli/zionist/jewish call it what fits the situation for you, Schofield-Bible type effort, to destroy the faith and thinking and common sense, of those who are non-bible beaters, and thus further to destroy culture, western culture.*

Th net is cast:
Schofield-Bible covers so-called 'believers', 'UFO' bullshit covers agnostics, and psychiatrists/psychologists cover 'atheists'. Just like the jewish corporate ice-cream today, 31 flavours and they all suck.

Within western culture, europeans, americans, you have people that are seeking, and people that are satisfied they have found faith.

Zacharia, David-Hatcher, and a number of others pointed out in this 14th draft of an unpublished book by E.P. are part of the conspiracy, the facts seem to show and I believe, to 'capture' as many as possible who are of the 'still seeking' camp of western culture at any one time. I buffer the previous statement with the following: when the very design of the banking sector is unlawful (interest on debt), and so the entire monetary system supports crime, it is very easy to know why the system produces a lot of criminal acts. We could just be seeing that, combined with the natural propensity of the ghetto-dweller, through whatever historic reason, to engage in crime. The big imps setup a system by which the little orcs can run wild.

If one examines a region, or culture, it seems that only about 20% are truly highly-religious. You're welcome to rebut this point. However, for the time being, just assume 20%. That's how many the Schofield Bible can interfere with. You're left with the other 80%, the undecided's, the casual's. Of these, you need another set of weapons; the Schofield Bible isn't going to cut it, That's where this other cast of characters come in.

If you follow that link, it opens up a Word DOC version of the book showing a clear connection between what seems from the outset/MSM, propaganda programming matrix of judaism, to be unrelated people.

Even 'Frank Joseph Collin', who can be found either as 'Frank Joseph' viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10927 or 'Frank Collin' viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6147 and whose earlier name according to the second link was 'Joseph Cohen'  

Some other names:
"RICHARD KIENINGER, ILLINOIS CULT LEADER, SEXUAL PREDATOR, AND CON MAN"
bad eyesight, sounds like a hebe from the background.
Stelle, Illinois
Kempton, Illinois
David Hatcher Childress (Adventures Unlimited Press)
Lemuria/Pole Shift mumbo jumbo (still promoted today among new-agers)
'Dr. White' - "Los Angeles physician DR. GEORGE STARR WHITE " (1866)
"LEMURIAN FELLOWSHIP"
"Dr. (of osteopathy) ROBERT D. STELLE (1881-1952)"
"HOWARD JOHN ZITKO  (Zitgo var. sp.) (1911-2003)"

Those looking for the origin of the sacred science, hyper-diffusion, and the nonsense chronology which feature so prominently in all of today's "new age" religions and "alternative archaeologies" need look no further than the mistakes   of the Catholic priest ABBÉ CHARLES ETIENNE BRASSEUR DE BOURBOURG (1814-1874) and in particular the delusions of Brasseur's colleague AUGUSTUS LE PLONGEON (1826-1908).

Now, fir all the early pages of EP's book exposing the criminals, the latter part reads like cheap hasbara. E.P. claims to easily dismiss the obvious campaign of jewish bankers and religious priests. Keeping in mind the 14th draft book has a copyright date of 2006 through 2008, his mock of a 'Duncan Roads' _the owner of record of Nexus Magazine_, at a time of contrived foreclosures and many other economic attacks, is ever the more bizarre: jew or imprinted zombie or both? Deliberate acts or blindness?

The "suppressed information" which Roads mentions was simply the ravings of insane idiots with which we are all now sadly all too familiar. In Roads thinking, international bankers (Jews) are constructing "The New World Order:

"I just wanted to remind readers of this list that elected leaders like Clinton, Bush, Blair, Howard, have NO real power. Period. When some 'contact' implies that Clinton or Bush is capable of manipulating something so big as the finance market, that contact is either disinforming, lying, or downright wrong.
The last American who did something courageous was JFK. He issued US Govt backed currency while attempting to phase out Fed Reserver issued notes. He obviously underestimated the power of those who do control currency issuance.

The public execution of JFK was deliberate. It was even filmed by a spook (Zapruder)! They executed the 'leader of the free world' in full view of the media and people, and got away with it. That would have sent a clear signal to any other world leaders NOT to go against them.

They are the real power, and anyone who tries to get you worried about the Republicans and Democrats is just there to keep your attention focussed away from what you should be really focussing on.
You should all know by now that there is no essential difference between the two political parties. Anyone who thinks otherwise has been successfully distracted and brainwashed."  

Thus you have it: the international bankers (Jews) killed JFK, and control the world.

How to react when facts attempt to intrude? With yet even more fantasies. Consider this typical display of Roads' logic, for example:

"Many readers already recognize my repeated reminder:  terrorist groups are all state sponsored; they are not spontaneous uprisings of annoyed residents.  Every terrorist group is run by a state agency and is used to manipulate the masses of target countries, causing the introduction of draconian new laws and/or military control."

Duncan and David soon became fast friends  , and this friendship between Duncan and David is strange, as David is definitely not anti-semitic.

* An opportunity to mention not slipping into arguing over what many believe is a red herring issue, want to be clear I'm not using 'culture' as a cover for 'race' as I think IMHO that's not important, and certainly not in the context of what TIU is dealing with (criminality), additionally if the 'Head of the snake' keeps pushing 'race' to the 'lesser brethren' and 'the goy', race should be suspect by thinking people at the outset.

Retired NORAD Officer's New Book Predicts a Tentative Worldwide UFO Display on October 13, 2010

http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20100914/ ... b4491804_1

A newly-published book by a retired NORAD officer predicts October 13, 2010 as the tentative date for a fleet of extraterrestrial vehicles to hover for hours over the earth's principal cities. Author says the event to be the first in a series intended to avert a planetary catastrophe resulting from increasing levels of carbon-dioxide in the earth's atmosphere dangerously approaching a "critical mass."

Winnipeg, MB (PRWEB) September 13, 2010 -- A newly-published 352-page book by a retired Air Force officer, Stanley A. Fulham, tentatively predicts October 13, 2010 as the date for a massive UFO display over the world's principal cities. According to the author, the aliens will neither land nor communicate on that date; they are aware from eons of experience with other planets in similar conditions their sudden intervention would cause fear and panic.

The book, Challenges of Change (3rd ed.), reports this event will be the initial interaction in a process leading to mankind's acceptance of the alien reality and technologies for the removal of poisonous gases from the earth's atmosphere in 2015, if not sooner.

The author draws upon his military experience with the UFO phenomenon dating back to WW2, and later, with NORAD and his subsequent life-long association with a senior NORAD intelligence officer who provided him a wealth of historical data relating to NORAD's experience with the UFO/alien reality which has never been revealed to the public. In the military's view, as conveyed to and understood by Fulham, the public is not yet ready to accept an alien reality.

Fulham writes it is generally recognized UFOs function beyond our earth's physical laws, and has concluded answers to questions regarding who they are, where are they from, why are they here, are they a threat, and the mystery of abductions could only be found at a higher dimension of reality.

For more than a decade, through the services of a world renowned channeler, the author has communicated with an ethereal group of entities known as the Transcendors -- 43,000 very old souls who combine their vast experience and knowledge through eons of incarnations, providing advice and information to humans in search of basic realities of mankind's existence.

The book Challenges of Change reports on the author's years of communication with the Transcendors in a question and answer format intended to inform and challenge. The Transcendors reveal through the author crucial information about urgent global challenges facing mankind such as earth changes, international terrorism, worldwide financial collapse and the environmental crisis. One revelation is al Qaeda has a dirty nuclear bomb and WMD, but faces a moral quandary over "containment of collateral damages."

Utilizing the theme of the Four Horsemen as symbolic metaphor, Fulham warns mankind will survive all of these future challenges, except the CO2 pollution of our atmosphere. According to information provided to the author by the Transcendors, the build-up of CO2 pollution is rising 1% annually to a "critical mass" of 22% in which mankind could not survive "without outside intervention."

According to Fulham, the Transcendors state they have borne witness to countless thousands of alien civilizations who polluted their planets to total extinction where not a single being, animal or plant survived. They urgently warn planet earth is presently on the same self-destructive path. Fulham reports the aliens are well aware of our environmental crisis, and have benevolently decided to rescue mankind in this vast universal drama.

Fulham has been in contact with a distinguished foreign ambassador who read the book with great interest and dispatched it to his home government, where it was translated and studied by hundreds of their top government officials.

A website containing videos of the author discussing his research conclusions and other vital information has been created at: http://sites.google.com/site/challengesofchange

Fulham clarifies there are no absolutes; the principal of free will and choice that exits with all souls precludes all absolute realities, and the aliens may decide to postpone their intervention -- but the Transcendors confirm it will nonetheless occur in 2010. Quoting the author, the event will "occur this year, in what will surely be one of the great dramas of our galaxy, the introduction of their alien civilizations and technologies to mankind. We are not alone, and our world will have changed forever."

not that the thinking opinion of someone who has truth and integrity and honour and the other things this board states it is about in bright letters at the top, makes any difference:

have you considered there is something to aliens and the whole thing is zacharia is supposed to be leading people down rabbit holes with misinformation and thick books that seem to go on for ages?

the criminal element sometimes does pick topics which have merit then lead people astray and also ridicule it.

I don't disimss the possibility of UFOs or Alien life at all. I just think that Sitchin is wrong and is his theory is being used as away to destroy the goyim's faith. Very Jewy. I am also weary of the crime network using a project bluebeam type hoax. The UFO community is littered with Jews. I don't completely trust it....but I'm not a simpleton and I believe that there is a good possibility of intelligent life in the universe.

New York City UFO Sighting Raises Questions
_http://www.insideedition.com/news/5183/new-york-city-ufo-sighting-raises-questions.aspx

It was the day New York stood still.

Thousands of New Yorkers pointed to the sky at a mysterious object hovering overhead.

The bright object seemed to divide into several smaller objects and then slowly move together again.

Adding to the mystery, a former Air Force officer predicted four months ago on a UFO website that an alien craft would visit major cities on October 13th, saying, "The aliens will reveal themselves in a massive uniform display over our principle cities and I predict this will happen on October 13th, 2010."

Stanley Fulham is the author of a book on UFO visitations, and don't worry. He says they come in peace.  

George Stephanopoulos could hardly believe it on Good Morning America.

"That retired Air Force officer who predicted aliens would come all across the world said they would come, not stop or talk to anybody; they just want to signal that they're around," joked Stephanopoulos.

The New York Post said the UFO over the upscale Chelsea neighborhood "Had the City Agape," and The Daily News asked, "What the Heck Was That?"

Not even the Federal Aviation Administration can explain the phenomenon. A spokesman says the object is not a weather balloon, calling it "nothing we can account for."
 

[Timothy_Fitzpatrick]

Aliens are real in one shape or another. The Jews' job is to spin their origins and their purpose. The Book of Enoch is explicitly clear on both. If you can't figure it out after reading Enoch, then the issue is far beyond your grasp.

Having said that, Sitchin is one of those Jewish spin doctors.

I think the asteroid impact potential CSR highlights likely plays a role in whatever productions the Jewtarded PTB broadcast.  Plus we know of their aversion to 9/11 facts, and apparently this Stanley Fulham character plays that plotline perfectly asserting jet fuel brought down the WTC.  A reviewer of Fulham's book "Challenges of Change" over on Amazon has done the research and actually read the book to call out the cointel disinfo of Fulham's shtick.  Sounds to me like Fulham could be either unwittingly or actively playing a role in promoting false alien contact disclosure.

Could be counterintelligence, disinformation, October 2, 2010
By    Charles Seiler (Spokane, WA USA)

Be warned, I do not think this book is completely honest. The general overview appears correct, but there appears to be some serious disinformation thrown into the mix. It appears to be a very clever story with some truth, some half truth, and some disinformation, all mixed together. Unless you are discerning reader who is VERY well versed in fringe science, you won't be able to know what's real and what's not.

I am not a skeptic. But some of the channeled information in "Challenges of Change" directly aligns with the public media, and not with the information from other channeled ET books. What I'm trying to say is that this book sounds like it was written by a secret government group or intelligent ET race trying to confuse the public. It was a really good book, and I think most of it was actually true, but a few things appear to be intentionally wrong.

I've heard that channelers can be fooled because anyone with the psychic capabilities can come forward and give out the wrong information to the person doing the subconscious channeling. I think that may be the case here. This book was very entertaining and it does contain some very good information, but there are a few glaring problems as follows:

1.) In this book the ETs say we cannot figure out ET spacecraft because we haven't figure out the way the mind interfaces with the real alien spacecraft that we have recovered. The problem: Ben Rich, the head of Lockheed skunkworks, admitted that we can already travel amongst the stars, meaning we already having equivalent craft that can travel amongst the stars. CONTRADICTION

2.) The Transcendors in this book say that Co2 is rising 1% per year, and will be to 22% in the next 10 years. Where is the evidence? I have no reason not to believe it, but there is nothing to corroborate it. It agrees with the public media and government, so I am not sure if this is just part of a scare tactic, or if it is really true? I've not been able to find this information in any other ET books yet, so I need to corroborate it.

3.) A major problem! The channeled information in this book says that the WTC towers were collapsed by jet fuel alone, not explosives, and were not an inside job, but were done by the so called "terrorists." The channeled information even says that building #7 collapsed merely as a result of the proper resonance effect, because the building was on Ley lines and it just naturally imploded down on itself because of the other towers causing a vibration. I cannot buy this story at all, there is no evidence of this anywhere.

4.) The book goes into a lengthy discussion at the end warning of global destruction through high Co2, terrorist bombs, and the complete destruction of the Earth, to which they offer only one solution, which is for millions of people to die before the aliens step in, or option 2, our only viable option, ask for help from ETs before we start dying. A major focus of the book is on how bad the terrorists are, it doesn't even give mention to the fake terror alerts and propaganda regarding terrorism. This grim outlook is so grim, that I find it hard to believe.

This book has some important information, but the over the top information focusing on terrorism, and the WTC towers collapsing merely because of jet fuel, leads me to believe that it was written to confuse people and support the agenda. I am not 100% sure, because I don't have all the answers. But I would be very careful reading this book, because it contains some very powerful negative information, which could affect our reality. If this information is true, then we are doomed as a society without the immediate help of the aliens. However, I am going to do something I never do, and remain skeptical on this information until I can corroborate it.

Because of the contradictory nature of this book, with facts that cannot be corroborated, I do not recommend it to the general audience. If you have already read every fringe science book there is, then you definitely need to get this book so you can validate my hypothesis that this book "may" be disinformation. To get a copy of this book, search GOOGLE and you can buy it from a small personal website, that is what I did, and it worked great. See this link for more information about how disinformation with channeling works:

[...]

In this review, I meant no disrespect to the author, who is clearly intelligent and kind, and who has tried his best to give real information. I mean no harm in giving this review, it is only my current opinion based on what I've researched in the last 13 years.

Yeah, that Fulham guy is a total fraud. He lost me when he started banging on with his global warming fantasy. Also, this prediction appeared to be a staged media stunt. It was carried by Yahoo news and the story went viral.  It seems like an attempt to sell the bankers neo feudalism agenda to the 'conspiracy crowd'...Really desperate. I think the cabal is in the process of  bluebeaming the goyim.

It's interesting that the MSM in now referencing Fulham's prediction which gives him credibility. The desired affect is for people to say,"Fulham was right about his oct 13th prediction, he must be right about global warming! Come save us Paladians! I'm ready for world government!"

Yeah, I think these latest highly visible and MSM sponsored UFO sightings stand as good examples of desperate PTB measures meant to vector the flock somehow.  Fundamentally the idea of extraterrestrial contact poses major problems for Abrahamic belief systems; alien's would obviously supercede human rulership of the earth throwing into question who actually handed humanity the keys if not Jah.  Once the whole poisoned chain of command comes in question, whichever ET PR campaign proves most successful stands to take the thrown, Paladians or whoever.

This following article from Fortean Times tells the CIA UFO story like it is as "Weapons Of Mass Deception" explaining the whole history of the show we're now seeing broadcast more in earnest from the early Kenneth Arnold sighting on.  I don't doubt the many scientists who say, 'the universe is teeming with life', but as for the programs displaying the possibility of immediate contact with outerspace entities in the here and now I think we can be reasonably certain the productions we see represent ever more elaborate reruns of the "radar spoofing" this article explains.  Right through 9/11.

Although this article touches on some of the early tech now disclosed that enabled the CIA's UFO show, more-so it focuses on noteworthy events officialdom procured for their purposes and/or staged while conflicting agencies jockied for position to rule battlefields with secret tech stunts meanwhile pretending aliens had something to do with it.  If you add into this article the backstory of buried science from Tesla to T. Townsend Brown and beyond, its hard not to believe the Ben Rich quotes such as, "We now have the technology to take ET home."

Weapons of Mass Deception
Washington, 1952: How the CIA created the flying saucer crazeBy Mark Pilkington   July 2010

On 19 July 1952 – and again on the 26th – an event took place that must have seemed as unthinkable then as it would be considered impossible now: Washington DC was buzzed by several unidentified aircraft. These fast-moving phantoms hopped like fleas across radar screens and evaded all attempts to intercept them with jets; they made fools of jumpy Air Force personnel and generated front-page news all around the world.

The incident illustrated perfectly the threat that UFOs posed to America's defence establishment, which carried painful memories of the attack on Pearl Harbor and now lived in the shadow of the burgeoning Soviet atomic programme, and would shape the UFO phenomenon – and the attitude of America's custodians to it – for the next 60 years.

Although the case has been dismissed as a dramatic example of a temperature inversion – whereby objects on the ground are picked up on radar and appear as aircraft – the facts are complex enough to deserve more than a simple brush-off, and may point to a deliberate attempt to exploit the phenomenon.

But who by? And for what purpose?


UFORIA
America's relationship to the flying saucer changed dramatically between 1949 and 1953. After two years of intermittent "UFOria" sparked by Kenneth Arnold's original 1947 sighting, by late 1949 it looked as if the public might finally be losing interest in the elusive intruders. This was largely thanks to the Air Force's Project Grudge, which had spent the year doing its best to play down public enthusiasm for the phenomenon – largely by ridiculing it – and, most importantly, inoculating its own pilots against the UFO bug.

In late December 1949, however, all Grudge's hard work came undone thanks to an article in the hugely popular men's magazine True. "Flying Saucers are Real" by pulp author Donald Keyhoe, a retired Major from the US Marine Corps naval aviation division, was a shocking exposé of the Air Force cover-up of the awful truth – that flying saucers were real, and they were from Outer Space.

Although the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) had always been a contender for the discs' origin, until then most people, civilian and military, thought the saucers were American or possibly Soviet in origin. Even Kenneth Arnold had spoken publicly of his belief that what he saw were experimental US craft, perhaps powered by atomic energy. It was these comments that caused him to be drawn into the Maury Island UFO affair in July 1947, a bizarre honey-trap involving Air Force Intelligence, the FBI and, possibly, the powerful Atomic Energy Commission. Arnold was lured to Tacoma, Washington, by the promise of UFO debris, but his investigation inadvertently led to the deaths of two Air Force intelligence agents (the newly-formed USAF's first ever casualties) in a plane crash and a lucky escape for Arnold in his own aircraft.

Although Arnold wouldn't have known it, the Air Force did have a nascent atomic aircraft project at the time – Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft – so it's not surprising that he became the subject of an intense investigation, especially given how seriously the US authorities took the threat of Soviet infiltration. It was only eight months since the Venona intelligence decryption project – so secret that not even Presidents Roosevelt and Truman knew of its existence – had made its first breakthrough, and the situation it unravelled was nothing short of devastating. Venona identified Soviet moles inside the Manhattan Project and in government bodies including the Office of Strategic Services (which became the CIA in 1947), the Army Air Force, the War Production Board (chief spymaster Victor Perlo headed the Aviation Section) the Treasury, the State Department, and even amongst President Roosevelt's trusted White House administrators. The United States was paranoid, and with good reason: there really were Reds under the bed, including the four-posters at the White House.

The strange brew of technology and paranoia that led to the first outbreak of the UFO bug was fomented by the breakdown of relations between the US Air Force and the Navy. As they fought over post-war funding, each side accused the other of corruption in pursuing government contracts and leaked one another's internal documents in what was described by some as a civil war. Things deteriorated so badly that a chronically depressed Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, who had previously headed the Navy, leapt to his death from the 16th floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital, an incident that has launched a thousand conspiracy theories.

The feud also meant that neither side was showing the other its new toys, which in the Navy's case meant the brand spanking new XF-5U flying flapjack, a saucer-like, propeller-driven Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft, of which at least two fully functional models were built. The flapjack neatly fits the silhouette of the whooshing, heel-shaped aircraft photographed by William Rhoads over Phoenix, Arizona, on 7 July 1947 (the first photograph of the UFO era) and also the aircraft described in the USAF's first internal saucer report as a "thin metallic object" seen flying over Muroc Army Air Field (later Edwards AFB) in California the following day.

Was the Navy taunting its rivals with its superior technology? Were Keyhoe's True article, and a pro-ET follow-up by Robert Mclaughlin, head of the Navy's missile programme at White Sands, all part of the game? Certainly the timing of the articles was infuriating to the Air Force, coming just as Grudge seemed to have put a lid on the simmering saucer mania.

Whatever intentions lay behind them, the True articles helped to transform flying saucers from something of a joke into a respectable topic for research and discussion amongst American men of all ages: the era of scientific ufology was born.


VISITORS FROM SPACE
The DC overflights were the culmination of a series of events that cast the mould for the UFO myth as we know it. The first was the release of Robert Wise's The Day The Earth Stood Still in September 1951, a film that perfectly crystallised America's flying saucer moment. With its message of peace brought by the Christ-like extraterrestrial Klaatu and enforced by Gort, the robot policeman with the power to destroy the Earth, it reflected the hopes and fears of what an encounter with beings from Outer Space might bring, while cannily echoing the role that America felt it could, and should, play on the world stage.

The film coincided with, or, some might say, sparked, a sudden surge of UFO witness reports, many from within the armed forces. In response the Air Force issued JANAP 146(B), which instructed members of all the armed forces to report sightings of unknown aircraft and made the unauthorised release of information about a UFO incident a crime, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a 10,000 dollar fine. With the Soviets watching America's every move, UFOs – and that included clandestine balloons, missile launches and test flights of new aircraft – were a growing intelligence and security problem that needed to be contained.

Another key moment came in April 1952, when LIFE, America's most popular magazine, ran an article entitled "Have We Visitors From Space?" As if UFOs weren't enough of a draw, the issue featured a pouting Marilyn Monroe on the cover, making it irresistible to any red-blooded American male.

"The Air Force," the article began, "is now ready to concede that many saucer and fireball sightings still defy explanation; here LIFE offers some scientific evidence that there is a real case for interplanetary saucers." Its authors, HB Darrach Jr. and Robert Ginna, had spent a year in consultation with the Air Force, so the pro-ET tone was a surprise to many, who expected them to play down the hype. Instead, the article gave flying saucer studies, and the ETH, another boost of respectability and added to the deluge of press reports that the phenomenon was now generating, with US newspapers carrying over 16,000 UFO items in the first six months of 1952 alone.

All of this made America's policy-makers nervous. In early 1952, CIA director Walter B Smith wrote to Raymond Allen, director of the secretive Psychological Strategy Board: "I am today transmitting... a proposal in which it is concluded that the problems associated with unidentified flying objects appear to have implications for psychological warfare as well as for intelligence and operations." Smith's concerns would prove to be uncannily prescient.

On two nights in July 1952, a number of unidentified objects blipped onto radar screens at Washington DC National Airport. At close to midnight on the first night, 19–20 July, seven objects were tracked 24km from the capital city, gradually homing in on the White House at about 160km/h. A bright, orange ball of light was seen from nearby Andrews Air Force Base, making "a kind of circular movement" according to an airman on the scene, before taking off at "an incredible speed" and disappearing.[1] Six bright white, fast-moving lights were also spotted by the pilot of a passenger jet flying in the area.

Sightings and radar tracking of "unidentifieds" continued until 3am, when two interceptors flew in to try to get a closer look, at which point the remaining UFOs vanished from the skies and from radar. They reappeared as soon as the jets had returned to base, leading Harry Barnes, a senior Air Traffic Controller, to suspect that the UFOs were listening in on radio communications and planning their actions accordingly. Adding to his frustration, Barnes's attempts to interest senior Air Force officials in the incident seemed to fall on deaf ears. Creating further grounds for suspicion that someone knew what was going on, Edward Ruppelt, head of the Air Force's recently created Project Bluebook, heard nothing about the incident until he read about it in a Washington newspaper two days later.

On 26 July, the UFOs returned. This time, 12 were spotted on radar, again flying at a not particularly impressive 160km/h. As before, there were sightings of lights from the air and from the ground and, once more, two jets were scrambled. One of the pilots chased four white "glows" that suddenly "shot toward him and clustered around his plane",[2] but the UFOs remained as elusive as ever.

Another media flurry followed, leading to an Air Force press conference at the Pentagon, its largest since World War II. In his 1956 memoir The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, Ruppelt describes the scene as chaotic, with General John Samford of Air Force Intelligence doing his best to be noncommittal about the sightings and focusing on calming fears that they were stray guided missiles or new American aircraft. When asked directly whether the objects had been US secret weapons, Samford gave the oblique and enigmatic response: "We have nothing that has no mass and unlimited power." Then came Captain Roy James, a radar specialist from the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson AFB, who pointed out that at least some of the radar returns were the result of a temperature inversion, a layer of warm, moist air on top of cool air on the ground, which had caused radar systems to detect a steamboat and other large objects at ground level. Ruppelt himself was unconvinced by the explanation – in fact he'd hastily cooked it up without having time to study the incident properly – but the press lapped it up and that, for now at least, was the end of that.

The following month, technical specialists from both the CIA and the Air Force met to discuss the UFO problem and, having rejected both the secret weapon and ET hypothesis, agreed that the sightings were down to a combination of misperceptions and 'mental conditioning' by the media. H Marshall Chadwell, the CIA's Assistant Director for Scientific Intelligence, wrote to Director Walter B Smith to suggest that they investigate the extent to which the phenomenon could be "controlled... predicted" and "used from a psychological warfare point of view". Noting that "a fair proportion of our population is mentally conditioned to the acceptance of the incredible", he worried about the potential for mass hysteria and that in the event of a Soviet attack, neither civilian nor military observers would be able to "distinguish hardware from phantom".

To address the UFO question, in January 1953 the CIA convened a secret panel under Dr Howard Percy Robertson, director of the Pentagon's Weapons Systems Evaluations Group. Over four days with long lunch breaks, they watched UFO films, read reports and listened to testimony from experts in various fields, before reaching a conclusion similar to Chadwell's. While the UFOs themselves seemed to present no "direct physical threat to national security", the reporting of them did, "clogging... channels of communication by irrelevant reports" and creating a 'cry wolf' situation that could lead to so many false alarms that genuine hostile actions might be ignored. What's more, the general interest in the subject threatened to inculcate "a morbid national psychology in which skilful hostile propaganda could induce hysterical behaviour and harmful distrust of duly constituted authority".

Flying saucers could make a rebel out of you – or worse, a Communist. The national security agencies were, therefore, to "take immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired". The authorities were now at war with ufology.


ECM + CIA = UFO
Born in New York in 1922, Leon Davidson had always been something of a scientific prodigy. By the age of 13, he had declared himself a chemical engineer, and a few years later he would be plucked from his PhD course at the engineering school of Columbia University to work on the Manhattan Project. He eventually became a supervising engineer at the Los Alamos laboratories, working for many years in the nuclear industry.

Like many scientists working in the late 1940s and early 1950s within what President Eisenhower would later term the "military-industrial complex", Davidson became fascinated with the UFO problem. Soon after starting work at Los Alamos in 1949, he joined the lab's Astrophysical Association, an in-house flying saucer group interested in, amongst other things, the strange green fireballs seen around New Mexico. While no official explanation for the fireballs was forthcoming, Davidson gradually came to believe that secret military tests lay behind these and most other UFO incidents, including the Washington overflights. In the splendidly titled essay "ECM+CIA=UFO",[3] Davidson described the basic Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) technology available to the Air Force by 1950:

"A 'black box' in our bombers would pick up the enemy's radar impulses; amplify and modify them; and send them back, drowning out the normal radar return from the bomber. The modification could be a change in timing or phase and could cause the 'blip' on the radar screen to have an incorrect range, speed, or heading."[4]

The origins of this new technology lay in a wartime incident, when Navy scientists noted that the proximity of several powerful ships' radars during the South Pacific campaign produced phantom returns known as the "galloping ghosts". These, the scientists realised, could be put to good use in deceiving the enemy. A March 1957 article from Aviation Research and Development magazine discussed how this ghosting technology had improved and was now entering the civilian domain:

"A new radar moving target simulator system which generates a display of up to 6 individual targets on any standard radar indicator has been developed... to train radar operators... and for in-flight testing of airborne early-warning personnel... Target positions, paths, and velocities can... simulate... realistic flight paths... Speeds up to 10,000 knots are easily generated... The target can be made to turn left or right... For each target there is... adjustment to provide a realistic scope presentation."[5]

Davidson recognised this description as being close to what was seen on radar over Washington in July 1952 – and he thought he knew just who had been behind it: "Since 1951, the CIA has caused or sponsored saucer sightings for its own purposes. By shrewd psychological manipulation, a series of 'normal' events has been served up so as to appear as quite convincing evidence of extraterrestrial UFOs... [including] military use of ECM on a classified basis unknown to the radar observers who were involved."[6]

A 1957 incident that took place over the UK appears to be a classic case of radar spoofing at the expense of a terrified American pilot (see FT242:34–35). 25-year-old Lieutenant Milton Torres was based at RAF Manston in East Kent, then an outpost for America's Strategic Air Command. On 20 May, Torres received the order to scramble his F86D Sabre in pursuit of a large aircraft the size of a B52 bomber, picked up on radar about 24km away. He was given the order to arm his weapons and fire on sight, something that no airman would expect to have to do over the Kent countryside, except in time of war. As he feared, he was informed that the aircraft was hostile and probably Russian.

Torres and a wingman in another Sabre hurtled towards the object at Mach 0.92. It now registered as the size of an aircraft carrier, but zipped about on his radar screen like an insect. He was ready to fire a full salvo of 24 rockets at the intruder, yet neither he nor his wingman could see a visual target. Was the aircraft invisible? Suddenly the radar signature disappeared and the Sabres were called back to base. The next day, a shaken Torres was visited by a trench-coated American who claimed to be from the National Security Agency. The mystery man warned Torres that if he ever wanted to fly again he would keep his mouth shut. And for 30 years, he did.[7]

By the early 1960s, the CIA and NSA were collaborating on a project known as Palladium, designed to provide the Americans with electrical (ELINT), communications (COMINT) and signals (SIGINT) intelligence from Soviet aircraft, ships, submarines, ground radars and missile batteries. The technology allowed the CIA to create ghost aircraft that would be detected on Soviet radar, while the NSA monitored the way in which the phantoms were received, tracked and transmitted. These ghost aircraft could be 'built' to order in any shape and size, and could fly at any speed or altitude.

Former CIA signals specialist Eugene Poteat describes a complex operation during the Cuban Missile Crisis that used both the Palladium system and submarine-launched metallic spheres on parachutes to confuse Cuban radar. Poteat's CIA team flew a radar ghost into Cuban airspace, prompting fighter planes to be scrambled to intercept. Using the Palladium system's controls, the CIA kept their phantom aircraft just ahead of the Cuban fighters, waiting for the right moment. Then, when the NSA team heard that the Cuban pilot was about to shoot their ghost plane down, "We all had the same idea at the same instant. The engineer moved his finger to the switch, I nodded yes and he switched off the Palladium system."[8] Another UFO, another pilot's unbelievable tale.


TRACKS AND TRACES
So were the Washington UFOs an early attempt to put the galloping ghosts under human control? It had been seven years since the phenomenon was first observed on radar screens, plenty of time to tame and contain the phantoms, and a number of clues would seem to suggest that Davidson's suspicions were not unreasonable, even if he was perhaps accusing the wrong agency of conducting the tests.

Davidson notes that during the month that the overflights took place, due to alleged runway repairs, the Air Force interceptors tasked with protecting the capital were moved from their usual home at Andrews AFB, 6.4km from DC, to New Castle, Delaware, 145km away. This considerably delayed the jets' arrival on the scene and would have prevented them from identifying the source of the radar returns, which were only flying at 160km/h. He also wondered whether the bright lights seen on the nights in question were created by the 'Hell Roarer', a missile-bay-mounted magnesium lighting device that burned at 10 million candlepower and had caused a flood of saucer reports when tested by the Air Force over Connecticut in October 1951.

Adding to the intrigue, days after the incident General Samford told the New York Times: "We are learning more and more about radar... [which is] capable of playing tricks for which it was not designed."[9] Was this a tacit admission that someone, perhaps the Air Force, had pulled a fast one over the Capital? Is it a coincidence that four years later Samford became the second director of the National Security Agency, which rout­inely used the Palladium system alongside the CIA?

The clearest hint that the Washington sightings were no accident was given to Bluebook's Edward Ruppelt a few days before events kicked off. Ruppelt wrote that he and a scientist "from an agency I can't name" had a two-hour discussion about UFOs, at the end of which the scientist made a 'prediction': "Within the next few days... they're going to blow up and you're going to have the granddaddy of all UFO sightings... in Washington or New York... probably Washington."[10] A few days later it happened, just as the scientist had said it would. As Ruppelt complains in his book, Air Force Intelligence were the last to know about the Washington event and when Ruppelt then tried to get from Wright Patterson (near Dayton, Ohio) to DC to investigate, he found that he couldn't get a staff car to take him there: "Every time we would start to leave," he wrote, "something more pressing would come up."[11]

A final tantalising piece of the puzzle comes in a memo sent from Dr Howard Clinton Cross to Edward Ruppelt on 9 January 1953.[12] Cross was a metallurgist working at the Battelle Memorial Institute, a private research body that was processing all the Air Force's UFO data under the codename Project Stork. The memo, classified Secret, points out that the CIA's Robertson Panel was due to meet in less than a week's time and that Project Stork and the Air Force's Air Technological Intelligence Center should work out beforehand "what can and what cannot be discussed at the meeting".

Why would the Air Force consider restricting the information that they shared with the CIA, and what might that information have been? Given the Agency's concern that the Soviets might use the UFO hysteria to launch a phantom attack over the US, it also seems odd that no one on the Robertson panel mentioned that the technology to do so was already available – and that it might have been responsible for the Washington flap. Was this one of the things that Cross wanted to keep back from the CIA? In the same memo, Cross recommends that "a controlled experiment be set up" to launch "many different types of aerial activity" over a target area and then assess civilian and military responses to these false UFOs. Was it the Air Force – and not the CIA as Davidson believed – who were behind the incident? Had Stork already made a special delivery over Washington DC?


THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
Whether the Washington "invasion" of July 1952 was the result of accident or intrigue, and whichever department, if any, was behind it, the event focused the attentions of the US establishment on the UFO's potential as both a weapon and a threat. From now on, the CIA, the FBI, the Air Force and the NSA would keep a close eye on what civilian UFO groups were doing and saying; the Air Force and the CIA would collaborate to use Project Bluebook to mask spyplane flights over the USA and USSR, while the CIA and NSA's ghost planes flew rings around disorientated pilots.

Over the next six decades, the UFO mythology, and those who engaged with it, would continue to be exploited, steered and shaped by America's armed forces and intelligence agencies. Who knows how differently things would have evolved if the UFO community had paid more attention to Leon Davidson, ufology's lost prophet.

ahaze, thanks for that info. Yeah, I tend to think that the Rothschild Crime Network have a secret space program. I would say Hoaglund is the most on target of any other researcher...of course he tap dances around the Zionist issue but at least he talks about how NASA is run by Freemasons....I still don't trust him but I believe he does have inside knowledge.

 

I think I am going to retire this thread for awhile. This false flag op deserves to be in it's own separate thread... Please add your analysis here:
And so the 'grand deception' begins???
