Editorial

I've just heard the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Shalom Bernanke,declare that the US recession is over. I wonder how the one in nine

Americans who exist on food stamps feel about that, or the 11,500Americans per day receiving foreclosure actions upon their properties? Iwonder how many Americans even realise that the Federal Deposit InsuranceCorporation (FDIC) has closed down 107 banks (with all their branches)since 1 September last year? Meanwhile, schools and hospitals suffer from acritical lack of funding as America continues to spend more money on itsmilitary might than every other country in the world combined. And since9/11, Americans have lost nearly all of their civil liberties and the nation hasbecome a de facto police state.

America is not alone in this Orwellian race. Many readers might besurprised to learn that many so-called Third World countries are way aheadin introducing compulsory ID cards and systems. You can thank a lot of theconditions imposed as a result of IMF and World Bank loans for this. EvenIndia is about to implement a compulsory biometric ID system for its billioncitizens. Here in Australia, we proudly pat ourselves on the back fordefeating the Australia Card in 1987, but, meanwhile, the growingintegration of health, electoral, taxation, driving and insurance recordsensures we are just as ID'd as everyone else in the world. Our article in thisedition shows just how many countries are marching towards compulsorybiometric ID systems, with little or no protest from uninformed citizens.

Cancer clusters seem to be popping up more and more in the news, andare the subject of another article in this edition. Predictably, the expertsrush in and pronounce there is no clear evidence linking anything to thecancer cases. But are they looking in the right places? The subject of dirtyelectricity is one I would like to see brought to the attention of moreregulatory bodies and politicians. You also might want to check out yourown workplaces and homes in case you are unwittingly being exposed.

On a completely different topic is the article linking the assassination ofJFK with the issue of UFO secrecy. Of all the motives for the inside-jobkilling of JFK, this deserves serious attention. My own research leads me toconclude that JFK was indeed exposed to the reality of "the visitors" and wasshocked beyond comprehension. Further, I believe that JFK then decided totackle the real but hidden power structure of America in order to liberate thetechnology derived from these visitors. His head-on attack on the FederalReserve was the last straw: he had to be assassinated to stop him and senda reminder to other world leaders about who was/is boss. The real culpritsgot away with it.

Science News this edition is about the mysterious changes in our Sun.Not only are there very few sunspots, but the ones we are seeing are much"weaker" than normal. The last time this happened, the world was plungedinto a sudden and dramatic mini–ice age where crops failed, animals froze todeath, rivers and seas froze solid, and life was miserable for a century or two.

On a parting note, I want to compliment whoever or whatever is behindthose amazing crop circles. The formations that appeared in the fields ofEngland this summer were just stunning. I suggest that, after you read ourannual coverage, you visit www.cropcircleconnector.com for a completeoverview of the range and complexity of this year's wonders.

HAARP TransmissionsDear Duncan: I have

developed a unique sensorfor the detection of ULF(ultra low frequency)magnetic pulses of changingpolarity, spanning arestricted range from lessthan 1 Hz per minute to anupper limit of 10 Hz persecond. I designed thissystem to monitor magneticenergies from the Sun'scorona, such as solar flaresand solar X-ray events.

This device has also givenme the opportunity toobserve the effects that theMoon has on the Earth'smagnetic field.

On 26 November 2006, Irecorded a continuous trainof strange square-wavepulses—pulses neverrecorded by me previously.On closer inspection, thesepulses were unlike any that Ihave ever seen and werequite complex. These pulsesceased on 4 December 2006.

Because I am 180 degreesfrom the HAARP (High-frequency Active AuroralResearch Program) complexin Alaska, I decided to checktheir magnetometerreadings. On the same dayas my equipment wasrecording these events,these pulses were beingtransmitted from the HAARPcomplex and were beingrecorded only by theAnchorage magnetometerinstruments located inAlaska. I believe thesepulses were transmitteddirectly into the ground.

I have the original copiesof these events, which is justas well for me because earlythis year the HAARP crewblotted out these pulses withsolid blue colour, totallyobscuring them from public

viewing on the net. Theytook this action three yearsafter the first records werearchived—a bit late?

Whilst I was checkingthrough their archives, I thendiscovered something that Iwish I hadn't. HAARP hasbeen transmitting high-power random pulses ofenergy, presumably into theionosphere, and, further,these energies were beingtransmitted uninterrupted,24 hours a day—continuously for three years!

There is something strangeabout the Moon's influenceon the Earth's magneticfield. As far as we know, theMoon's presence has astrong gravitationalinfluence on the water in ouroceans; however, my sensorindicates that the Moon'spresence acts as a modifyinginfluence on the Earth'sbackground magnetic field.

Because the sensor onlyresponds to slow-changingmagnetic fields, this begsthe question: does theMoon's gravity stronglyinfluence the Earth'smagnetic field...or is there anunknown componentradiating from the Moonwhich we are not aware of?Either way, it has to be of amagnetic nature.

Targeted by "the Club" Dear Duncan: I wish to

bring to your attention theplight of Martin Armstrong,the founder of PrincetonEconomics, who has been injail without charge in theUSA since 2002.

I have been followingMartin Armstrong's research

for many years, and being acommodity analyst myself Ihave a great interest in hiswork.

Martin was targeted by"the club" when he refused tohand over his "model" to theCIA and work with the largeinvestment banks in the US.At the time, Martin wasusing his model to predictlong-term cycles in financialmarkets and he was oftenused by central banks andcorporations as an adviser(for no fee).

Martin's recent writingsgive a fascinating insightinto the cause of financialmeltdowns and the effects ofdebt and governmentinterference on financialmarkets.

To quote Martin in one ofhis recently publishedarticles: "The United Stateshas been infiltrated by theNew York Investment BankClub so profoundly, they aredestroying democracy andensuring the US will lose itsstatus of the concentrationof global capital."

I impress upon everyone tolook up Martin's recentarticles published on theweb (see http://princetoneconomics.blogspot.com/)and help bring attention tohis unjust imprisonment.

Regards,Mike N., USA

Aerotoxic SyndromeDear Editor: Aerotoxic

Syndrome was first identifiedin 1999 by US, French andAustralian scientists. Itdescribes the serious illhealth brought about bybreathing neurotoxic oilfumes in the confines of anyjet aircraft cabin. It affectsair crew and passengers, andhas come to light recently in

the US due to two courtcases against Boeing.

I founded and run theAerotoxic Association(www.aerotoxic.org) andwondered if it would bepossible to feature an articleon this serious subject inNEXUS.

This unlikely, little-knownroute of exposure isreckoned to expose 196,000UK passengers a year toneurotoxins (UniversityCollege London, 2006).

Yours sincerely,John Hoyte, UK,

[email protected][Dear John: Yes, I'm interested,

and, yes, I'll run any article yousend in the first available issue.Ed.]

Great Pyramid MysteriesDear Duncan: Thanks for a

great read each issue. It hasme following up informationon the web after reading yourvery informative articles.

Last issue, the article byPhilip Coppens on Egypt andthe cover-ups hits the nail onthe head.

I am a psychic and have avery strong interest in ourprehistory and the trutharound our planet'sdevelopment. Every time Isee Hawass on TV, mypsychic side goes intooverload. I don't trust him.He is hiding so much tosuppress the truth thatthey've found within Egyptthat would guide us into abetter understanding of ourpast. This understanding, ifknown, would help betterguide us to our future.

Also, I came across a self-published book by David H.Lewis, published by TGS inTexas, available fromwww.hiddenmysteries.com.It's titled Mysteries of the

Pyramid. In it, he talks of hisdiscovery of a secret stairwaywithin the Great Pyramid ofGiza that is opened by theuse of sound waves. Theopening is near the top ofthe pyramid on the southwall.

The passage leads throughthe entire structure into ahidden chamber beneath thePyramid: the Chamber ofKnowledge. He givesdrawings and enoughinformation to get youinterested. Of course, noone can get near enoughthese days to find out if it istrue. He describes what hefinds inside, includingdrawings.

This can be labelled as afabrication, a fantasy, but myother side tells me there ismore to this story.

Keep up the good work.The truth will come outsoon.

Garry J., Tasmania,Australia

[Thanks, Garry. I also havethat book, and it is not very wellknown. I urge people to read it, asit outlines in great detail thediscovery and the teamsubsequently going through theopening and into many othersecret chambers. I would love toknow the opinion of other readers.Every time I mention it to people,they have never heard of this book.So, thanks for bringing attentionto it. Ed.]

Choosing Our Illnesses? Dear Editor: Your

excellent magazine hasfeatured several articles onthe possible causes ofcancer, including fungi,bacteria, bad diets includingtoo much sugar (cancer lovessugar, it is said), red meatsand dairy products.

Then again, "German New

Medicine" would claim thatall cancer patients haverecently had a major traumain their lives; and accordingto some "new agers", acancer sufferer has "clearlythought wrong thoughts andbrought their illness onthemselves".

It almost goes withoutsaying that many in the"medical industry" appear tohave no interest in causes orcures, just money-makingtreatments. And it couldwell be that the fear thatdoctors often instil in peoplealong with their cancerdiagnosis might just be whatactually kills them.

But none of the suggested"adult" causes for cancerseems to explain how a childunder five, or even in somecases the age of one, cancontract a brain tumour.

For that matter, what"wrong thoughts" or bad dietcaused the death of a baby inthe Victorian bushfires, orGerrard Gosens, theParalympian and recentinspirational dancing showstar, to be born blind?

Do the books of Dr MichaelNewton, Carol Bowman, DrBrian Weiss and many othershave the answer? (Thelatter's first son diedtragically young, and later, itseems, communicated why.)These books are largelyabout the still controversialtopic of reincarnation. Theysuggest, however, that wechoose our illnesses andother major life events in the"spirit world" before we comehere, presumably to learnsome lesson or other.

This "way out" idea seemsto me to make a lot of sense,as it appears virtuallyimpossible to work out justexactly what it is in this

world that causes cancer andmany other illnesses.

The advice of "experts" isoften so contradictory, andso obviously not applicableto everybody, that anybodywho is ill often doesn't knowwhere to turn, except to(often toxic) conventionalmedicine.

There are "miraculous"cures, of course, but arethese ever studied? Werethey chosen before birth aswell?

Whatever the case, I can atleast recommend the abovebooks. They are beautifuland very thought-provoking.And, on a lighter note, DrBrian Weiss must benoteworthy. He has been onthe Oprah show!

Compulsory VaccinationsHi, Duncan: As so many of

your letter-writers say, I toohave been a faithful reader ofNEXUS over many, manyyears. Thank you so muchfor publishing what themainstream media don'tallow so as to keep mankindblinkered and enslaved.

It also greatly concerns methat the Big Brother conceptis escalating, whereby webecome so overregulatedthat freedom is a moot pointand that, slowly but surely,we have no rights left toexert our free will and freechoice.

I read your editorial in vol.16, no. 5 regarding the pushto make vaccinationscompulsory. A friend oncesuggested lying to avoid thispressure. After all, why can'twe live our truth and, also,why do we even have todefend our right to say no?So, simply tell them whatthey want to hear, rather

than defending our right tohave the choice.

With our computer age, wecan make up bogusvaccination cards that say wealready have "that" shot. Ifthis makes those poordeluded souls who thinkthey are doing the right thingfor us by "knowing better"satisfied, well, then we aredoing the right thing.

Cheers,Herman, Australia

CAVE COMPLEX FOUNDUNDER GIZA PYRAMIDS

An enormous system ofcaves, chambers and

tunnels lies hidden beneaththe Pyramids of Giza,according to British explorerAndrew Collins who claimsto have found the lostunderworld of the pharaohs.

Collins, who will detail hisfindings in the book Beneaththe Pyramids, to be publishedin September, tracked downthe entrance to themysterious underworld afterreading the forgottenmemoirs of a 19th-centurydiplomat and explorer.

"In his memoirs, BritishConsul-General Henry Salt recountshow he investigated an undergroundsystem of 'catacombs' at Giza in1817 in the company of Italianexplorer Giovanni Caviglia," Collinssaid.

The document records that thetwo explored the caves for adistance of "several hundred yards",coming upon four large chambersfrom which stretched further cavepassageways.

With the help of British

Egyptologist Nigel Skinner-Simpson,Collins reconstructed Salt'sexploration on the plateau,eventually locating the entrance tothe lost catacombs in an apparentlyunrecorded tomb west of the GreatPyramid. Indeed, the tomb featureda crack in the rock, which led into amassive natural cave.

According to Collins, the caves—which are tens of thousands, if nothundreds of thousands of yearsold—may have inspired both the

development of the pyramidfield and the ancientEgyptians' belief in anunderworld.

Collins's claim is expectedto cause a stir in theEgyptological world. DrZahi Hawass, chief ofEgypt's Supreme Council ofAntiquities, has dismissedthe discovery.

"There are no newdiscoveries to be made atGiza. We know everythingabout the plateau," hestated.

But Collins remarks thatafter extensive research, hefound no mention of thecaves in modern times.

TAMOXIFEN INCREASES RISK OFRARE TUMOUR BY 440%

Breast cancer patients giventamoxifen are more than four

times more likely to develop a moreaggressive tumour than those notprescribed the drug, scientists havewarned.

A study of over 1,000 patientsfound that the oestrogen-blockingdrug reduced the risk of the mostcommon, easy-to-treat cancerrecurring by 60 per cent.

But the chances of a rarer type notsensitive to the female hormoneappearing in the opposite breastincreased by an alarming 440 percent. These are known as ERnegative tumours, as opposed to ERpositive, and are much moredangerous as there are no drugsthat specifically target them.

Dr Christopher Li, of the FredHutchinson Cancer Research Centerin Seattle, USA, said: "This is ofconcern, given the poorer prognosisof ER-negative tumours, which arealso more difficult to treat."(Source: Daily Mail Online, London, 26August 2009)

DR DAVID KELLY AND THE DEADMICROBIOLOGISTS

It was six years ago, on 17 July2003, that Dr David Kelly was

found dead under a tree onHarrowdown Hill, half a mile fromhis family home in Southmoor, UK.The questions of why and how hedied—and if he was murdered—have never gone away.

Dr Kelly had examined the UKgovernment's "sexed-up dossier"which declared that SaddamHussein had weapons of massdestruction that could be activatedin just 45 minutes. The claim wasused by then Prime Minister TonyBlair in 2002 as the centraljustification for the Iraq war.

When Dr Kelly secretly revealedhis doubts about the dossier to BBCreporters, all hell broke loose.

After he was unmasked as the BBCmole, he was marched before thetelevision cameras of a House ofCommons committee and, later,taken away to a safe house to beinterviewed by the Britishintelligence services.

In one final phone conversation,he told a caller he wouldn't besurprised if his body was found inthe woods. And so it was to be. Theofficial inquiry into his death laterdecided that he'd committedsuicide—by slashing his wrist andconsuming a cocktail of painkillers.(This verdict is now beingchallenged by a growing number ofmedical specialists who claim it wasphysically impossible for him tohave died in the manner claimed.)

But it has now come to light thatthere may be another compellingreason why Dr Kelly might havebeen murdered.

A new film, Anthrax War, assertsthat Dr Kelly, as head of biologicaldefence at the government'ssecretive military researchestablishment of Porton Down,Wiltshire, was the brain behindmuch of the West's germ warfareprograms.

The film alleges he may have beeninvolved in apartheid South Africa'sProject Coast program to develop agerm weapon to target the blackpopulation.

The film's director, Bob Coen, saysthat Dr Kelly had links to illegalhuman experiments on Britishservicemen at Porton Down, whichsparked the largest everinvestigation by Wiltshire Police.

Whatever the veracity of all this,the film's central thrust—that DrKelly was deeply unhappy about hiswork and was writing a sensationaltell-all book—has been confirmedby Gordon Thomas, a Britishintelligence expert who had met DrKelly.

Dr Kelly was linked to theintelligence services MI5 and MI6,Government CommunicationsHeadquarters (GCHQ), the Ministryof Defence (MoD), the Foreign Officeand foreign spy agencies—includingIsrael's Mossad (for whom he hadworked since 1995 as an adviser,with the blessing of Whitehall).

From all around the globe, DrKelly was consulted on biologicalweaponry, in particular the use ofanthrax.

Amazingly, 12 other well-respectedmicrobiologists, all known to Dr

Kelly and all linked with germwarfare research, have diedmysterously in the past decade,including five Russians investigatingclaims that the Israelis were workingon viruses to target only Arabs.

The most mysterious death ofthem all was that of Dr VladimirPasechnik, a Soviet defector whomDr Kelly knew well.

It is against this extraordinarybackground of highly suspiciousdeaths that Dr Kelly's own deathoccurred.(Source: Daily Mail, London, 27 July 2009,http://tinyurl.com/m3cjqn)

EUROPEAN COURT RULING MAYEND FLUORIDATION

Fluoridated water must be treatedas a medicine and cannot be

used to prepare foods! That is thedecision of the European Court ofJustice, in a landmark case dealingwith the classification andregulation of "functional drinks" inmember states of the EuropeanCommunity (EC) (see HLHWarenvertriebs and Orthica [JoinedCases C-211/03, C-299/03, C-316/03and C-318/03], 9 June 2005).

But the ruling also has an equallyprofound implication for the exporttrade in processed foods and drinks.

... GLOBAL NEWS ...

8 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2009

The Court stated that even if afunctional food product (or a foodcontaining it) is legally marketed asa food in one member state, itcannot be exported to any othermember state unless it has amedicinal licence.

So any company making aconsumable product usingfluoridated water in its preparationor as an ingredient cannot nowexport that product to any otherstate in the EC, even if their productis permitted in their home state.

The economic implications areenormous. Not only does the rulingban the use of fluoridated water forall retail catering and wholesalefood processing in the UK andIreland, it also prohibits such tradefrom these states to other memberstates of the EC.

But it goes much further than eventhis, because if British and Irishprocessed foods from fluoridatedareas cannot be exported to the EC,this prohibition must also apply tothe importing of such products intoEC member states from any othercountry that practises waterfluoridation.

The decision effectively bans allprocessed food products fromcountries such as the USA, Australia

and New Zealand, unless they canbe positively proved to have beenprepared using only water that wasnot fluoridated. (Source: UK Councils Against Fluoridation,10 May 2009, http://www.ukcaf.org,http://tinyurl.com/mgcuw9)

PFIZER FINED $2.3 BILLION FORDRUG SAFETY FRAUD

Drugs giant Pfizer has beenordered to pay US$2.3 billion

for making false claims about fourprescription medications.

The payout—comprising a $1.3billion criminal fine and a $1 billioncivil fine—includes $102 million tobe divided between 11whistleblowers. All thought to beformer employees, they became soconcerned that the company wasasking them to break the law andmis-sell the drugs—Bextra, Geodon,Zyvox and Lyrica—that theyreported it to the authorities.

Mike Loucks, the acting USAttorney for the District ofMassachusetts, who led the criminalinvestigation of Bextra, said hehoped that the case would send apowerful message to corporateAmerica that "blatant and continueddisregard of the law" would not betolerated.

To promote its drugs, Pfizerinvited doctors to consultantmeetings at resort locations, payingtheir expenses and providing perks."They were entertained with golf,massages and other activities," MrLoucks said.

Last October, Pfizer agreed to pay$894 million to settle thousands ofpersonal injury claims relating toBextra and Celebrex, the arthritistreatment that is another of itsdrugs.(Source: The Times, London, 3 September2009, http://tinyurl.com/mbzkf5)

SEED COMPANIES' GRIP ON GM CROP RESEARCH

Scientists must ask corporationsfor permission before publishing

independent research ongenetically modified (GM) crops.

Unfortunately, it is impossible toverify that GM crops perform asadvertised. That is because agritechcompanies have given themselvesveto power over the work ofindependent researchers.

To purchase GM seeds, a customermust sign an agreement that limitswhat can be done with them.

Agreements are considerednecessary to protect a company’sintellectual property and theyjustifiably preclude the replicationof the genetic enhancements thatmake the seeds unique.

But agritech companies such asMonsanto, Pioneer and Syngenta gofurther. For a decade, their useragreements have explicitlyforbidden the use of the seeds forany independent research. Underthe threat of litigation, scientistscannot test a seed to explore thedifferent conditions under which itthrives or fails. They cannotcompare seeds from one companyagainst those from anothercompany. And perhaps mostimportantly, they cannot examinewhether the GM crops lead tounintended environmental orbiological side effects.

BELUGA WHALE SAVESSTRUGGLING DIVER

Adrowning diver has a Belugawhale to thank for helping to

save her life after her legs wereparalysed by cramps.

Yang Yun was taking part in a free-diving contest at Polar Land inHarbin, northeastern China, in whichparticipants were required to sinkseven metres to the bottom of a pooland stay there for as long as possiblewithout the aid of breathingequipment.

Ms Yun, 26, thought she was goingto die amid the Beluga whales sheshared the Arctic pool with, afterstruggling to move her legs whiletrying to kick her way to the surface.

"I began to choke and sank evenlower and I thought that was it forme, I was dead," she told journalists."Until I felt this incredible forceunder me, driving me to the surface."

That "incredible force" was Mila, aBeluga whale that had noticed herdistress and clamped its jaws aroundher leg.

Using her sensitive nose, Miladrove Ms Yun carefully to thesurface, to the amazement ofonlookers and an underwaterphotographer who captured theentire incident on film.

"Mila noticed the problem beforewe did," one organiser said. "She's asensitive animal who works closelywith humans and I think this girlowes her her life."(Source: Herald Sun, Melbourne, 30 July2009, http://tinyurl.com/oxe4dw)

MONSANTO'S MAN IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

Michael R. Taylor's appointment by the Obama administration to theUS Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 7 July sparked immediate

debate and even outrage among many food and agriculture researchers,NGOs and activists. The Vice President for Public Policy at the MonsantoCompany from 1998 until 2001, Taylor exemplifies the revolving doorbetween the food industry and the government agencies that regulate it.He is reviled for shaping and implementing the government's agriculturalbiotechnology policies during the Clinton administration.

Yet what has slipped under everyone's radar screen is Taylor'sinvolvement in setting US policy on agricultural assistance in Africa. Incollusion with the Rockefeller and Bill and Melinda Gates foundations,Taylor is once again the go-between man for Monsanto and the USgovernment, this time with the goal to open up African markets forgenetically modified (GM) seed and agrochemicals. Taylor's re-appointment to the FDA came just after Obama and the other G8 leaderspledged US$20 billion to fight hunger in Africa over the next three years.

In the late 1970s, Taylor was an attorney for the US Department ofAgriculture, then in the 1980s a private lawyer at DC law firm King &Spalding, where he represented Monsanto. When Taylor returned togovernment as Deputy Commissioner for Policy for the FDA from 1991 to1994, the agency approved the use of Monsanto's GM growth hormone fordairy cows, without the milk having to be labelled (this hormone is nowfound in most US milk). His role in these decisions led to a federalinvestigation, though eventually he was exonerated of all conflict-of-interest charges.

Some estimate that Monsanto controls 90% of the global market for GMseeds. In Brazil, 54% of all soybeans are produced with Monsanto's GMRoundup Ready® seeds, and in 2008 the country began spraying morepesticides and herbicides than does the US. There is evidence that in2003, Monsanto sold a Brazilian senator a farm for one-third of its marketvalue in exchange for his help to legalise the herbicide glyphosate (theworld's most widely used herbicide), sold by the corporation asRoundup®. In 2008, Monsanto controlled 80% of the Brazilian market forglyphosate, having elevated the price by 50% since its legalisation.

Glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor. In March 2009, Dr Gilles-EricSeralini, a molecular biologist at the University of Caen, France, publishedthe results of a study which found that Roundup causes cells to die inhuman embryos. "Even in doses diluted a thousand times, the herbicidecould cause malformations, miscarriages, hormonal problems,reproductive problems, and different types of cancers," said Dr Seralini.

In May, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine called for amoratorium on GM foods: "...several animal studies indicate serious healthrisks associated with GM food consumption including infertility, immunedysregulation, accelerated aging, dysregulation of genes associated withcholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signaling and protein formation,and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal system".

According to a study published by the Union of Concerned Scientists thisyear, GM seeds do not produce higher yields than conventional seeds. Yetthey pose serious ecological risks, especially from genetic contaminationfrom pollen. In the US, it is becoming impossible for the organic foodindustry to certify non-GM foods, due to contamination by GM pollen.(Source: By Isabella Kenfield, CounterPunch , 14 August 2009,http://www.counterpunch.org/kenfield08142009.html)

Electronic identity (ID) cards have made alarming progress towardsbecoming universal around the world. Already, over 2.2 billionpeople, or 33 per cent of the world's population, have been issuedwith "smart" ID cards. Of those cards, over 900 million have

biometric facial and fingerprint systems. On present plans, over 85 per centof the world's population will have smart ID cards by 2012. Most of theremaining population won't have escaped: largely, they are already enrolledin earlier-generation ID systems, often in repressive states such as Myanmar(Burma).

Understandably, campaigns against the introduction of ID cards havetended to play up the problems with ID systems, presenting them as beingunworkable and creating unmanageable problems with privacy invasion,fraud, unauthorised database access, organised crime, unreliability ofbiometric recognition, etc. As a result, a substantial number of peoplebelieve mandatory ID cards "just won't happen".

It's long past time to stop burying our heads in the sand. There are noobstacles to the worldwide introduction of mandatory electronic ID cards.

All those problems with ID systems may be real, but they are not enoughto stop implementation, primarily because these are problems that willaffect people as individuals, not their governments—our problem, not theirs.There has been hardly any meaningful debate about one of the biggestissues of our time.

It's also time to look at what ID systems are really intended to do, not atthe public justification for them. Since governments probably always knewthat ID cards wouldn't stop terrorism, organised crime, ID theft, fraud, etc.,there has to be some other reason for their introduction—and it appears tobe a reason that governments don't want to own up to in public.

A Coordinated International ID Agenda?Perhaps we can learn more if we look at what is going on around the world.

Interestingly, nobody seems to have published a comprehensive or reliablesurvey of worldwide ID schemes, so a survey had to be compiled for thisarticle [see tables in author's original posting; Ed.].

What stands out from this survey, incomplete as it may be, is that advancedelectronic ID card systems are coming to some of the poorest nations in theworld, some in chaos, civil war and starvation, both small and large countries.They are coming to nations with vastly divergent cultures, to nations that arealmost completely pre-industrialised and underdeveloped, and coming firstto almost all Islamic nations. The few that will not have advanced electronicpopulation registration will be in a tiny minority. This is all to happen by theend of 2012. For example, on 25 June 2009, India announced it is pressingahead with the introduction of universal biometric ID cards, to be completedby 2011—to register nearly 1.2 billion people within just 18 months.

High-tech ID systems,incorporating smart

simultaneouslyworldwide.

Is this a coincidence?

However, there are grey areas. For example, in somestates, such as Mozambique and Zambia, there arebiometric ID cards for voter registration which aren'tofficially national ID cards but nonetheless haveregistered the population.

"Election cards" tend to become national ID cardsimmediately after an election, as in Haiti. (How didintroducing ID cards get linked to "bringing indemocracy"?) The USA would probably be in the greyarea due to the uncertainty (deliberately not clarified)about the Real ID Act, Canada due to proposals forbiometric "enhanced drivers licenses", and Australia dueto the uncertain status of the Access Card. Anyuncertainty gets put into perspective by the "bigpicture": ID cards are coming, almost everywhere.

The simultaneous introduction of very similar ID cardsystems in so many nations seems more than acoincidence. If it were purely amatter of nations taking theirown initiative to upgradesystems, this would happenover a longer timetable asnations periodically updatedsystems once every couple ofdecades. Does this timetableindicate unseen internationalpressure applied to nations toadopt ID cards?

In the process of researchingthe list, something interestingcame out. The plans tointroduce a national ID cardsystem in Uganda were announced in a memorandum ofunderstanding, dated 20 June 2008, sent to theInternational Monetary Fund (IMF).

The impression is that the IMF was involved in thedecision long before the people of Uganda wereconsulted about their national ID card scheme.

Has the IMF required nations to adopt biometric IDcards, on the pretext of instigating financial regulationand preventing fraud and money laundering?

Again and again, in the public description of thealleged benefits of biometric ID systems, the reasonsgiven include the benefit to the banking system, inpreventing fraud, and allowing the poor to have accessto the banking system.

Several nations (e.g., India) have mentioned the needto confirm that aid gets to the intended recipients andis not lost in fraud—again, something which a bodysuch as the IMF might see as a justifiable reason topromote or require biometric ID, but other peoplewould see as a mere pretext for "policy laundering".

In a different example of western promotion, theEuropean Union (EU) has financially sponsored theintroduction of biometric ID cards in the DemocraticRepublic of Congo, allegedly to help promote peace bytracking down ex-soldiers and ex-fighters. A similar

logic has been applied to a biometric scheme inSomalia.

Grotesquely, biometric ID cards are coming toRwanda. ID cards were a major tool in the Rwandangenocide. Imagine how much more effective thegenocide could have been with a computerisedpopulation register and an ID system with biometrics toprevent fraud or evasion. Rwanda's experience is anhorrific illustration of how lethal ID cards can be in anation in civil war, and raises uncomfortable questionsabout western involvement, as does the situation inCongo.

Policy Harmonisation in the EU, UK and USAThe worldwide introduction of ID cards is merely the

visible witness of an invisible process. Policies thatprofoundly affect our lives and take away our freedoms

are worked out in secretinternational deals.

In July 2005, during its six-month rotation in thePresidency of the EU, theUnited Kingdom introduced aproposal for biometric IDcards for Europe despite thefact that it had no power to doso under the EU treaties atthat time.

Legalities being no obstacle,this subsequently evolved intobinding EU policy in theHague Programme on justice

and security.However, policies introducing ID cards, evolved in

secret, go far beyond identification and security, asdescribed by Tony Bunyan of Statewatch in an article inthe Guardian ("The surveillance society is an EU-wideissue", 28 May 2009; includes quotations from Bunyan'sStatewatch report, "The Shape of Things to Come"). IDcards are only one tool, enabling a much larger schemeto track and record the life of every individual; Bunyancalls this the "digital tsunami".

'Every object the individual uses, every transaction theymake and almost everywhere they go will create a detaileddigital record. This will generate a wealth of informationfor public security organisations', leading to behaviourbeing predicted and assessed by 'machines' (their term)which will issue orders to officers on the spot. The proposalpresages the mass gathering of personal data on travel,bank details, mobile phone locations, health records,internet usage, criminal records however minor,fingerprints and digital pictures that can be data-minedand applied to different scenario[s]—boarding a plane,behaviour on the Tube or taking part in a protest.

But this isn't just coming to Europe, as Bunyanexplains, because the USA and Europe will share similar

12 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2009

Has the IMF requirednations to adopt biometricID cards, on the pretext of

instigating financialregulation and preventing

fraud and moneylaundering?

policies and practices in an agenda of policyharmonisation:

...it is proposed that by 2014 the EU needs to create a 'Euro-Atlantic area of cooperation with the USA in the field offreedom, security and justice'. This would go far beyondcurrent co-operation and mean that policies affecting theliberties and rights of everyone in Europe would not bedetermined in London or Brussels but in secret EU–USmeetings.

Was this a response to 9/11? No, emphatically not.We can say this because some of these schemes have apublished history and timeline dating from muchearlier, e.g., Taiwan, 1997, and India, 1999. We can tracea continuing pursuit of ID-based databases back to theAustralia Card, which was defeated in1987. We can also say with certaintythat EU–US cooperation on securitypre-dates 9/11, as does EUdevelopment of security databaseswhich have been applied to politicalprotestors.

What Do ID Cards Do?The new cards are like a high-tech

"glue", an interface, joining togetherall the different state databases andlinking their information together.This is the significance of the "multi-functional" identity function ofthe new cards: one ID number isthe key to access all services andalso all databases. One card, onenumber, tracks a person acrossmultiple activities, across theirwhole life and everything theydo—employment, tax, health,everything. When numerousdatabases are linked together bymeans of a common interface, inthis case ID numbers, theyeffectively function as a single"meta-database".

In the Guardian (30 September 2003), home affairseditor Alan Travis wrote that the "citizen informationregister" in Britain will "bring together all the existinginformation held by the government" on its 58 millionresidents:

It will include their name, address, date of birth, sex, and aunique personal number to form a 'more accurate andtransparent' database than existing national insurance,tax, medical, passport, voter and driving licence records...

The decision to give the go-ahead to the nationalpopulation register without any apparent need for newlegislation or any public debate is in sharp contrast to theintense cabinet debate now taking place over the...identitycard scheme...

...The scheme is a joint project between the Office ofNational Statistics and the Treasury...

The idea was developed by the Treasury's public servicesproductivity panel—a group of senior business people andpublic services managers...

[The Home Office] admitted a national identity cardscheme will have to be 'underpinned by a database of allUK residents' and asked for views on whether the citizensinformation register should be used for this purpose...

The Indian ID scheme is another major example.According to an article in the Hindu (26 June 2009):

...the UID [Unique IDentification] numbers and thedatabase will be linked to agencies such as the ElectionCommission of India and the Income Tax Department,

which...issue...voters photo identitycards...

In addition, it will be used forproviding services under governmentschemes such as the publicdistribution system, and the NationalRural Employment GuaranteeScheme for families living below thepoverty line...and for deliveringfinancial and other assistance to theneedy.

This is the new model for e-government around the world.

Historically, this isn't the firsttime we have seen systems likethis. It is very similar in conceptto the Nazi ID system, as it finallyevolved, with a Reich PersonnelNumber to link all otherdatabases.

The system of compiling theinitial population register fromrecords in existing, earlierdatabases is, again, very similarto Nazi practice.

Why should this be significant?Why should there be any big deal

about the government collecting together data that italready has?

As reported by Henry Porter in his Guardian blog (25February 2009):

'Once an individual has been assigned a unique indexnumber, it is possible to accurately retrieve data acrossnumerous databases and build a picture of thatindividual's life that was not authorised in the originalconsent for data collection,' says Sir David Omand in areport for the Institute for Public Policy Research...

In 2006 Sir David Varney, the head of TransformationalGovernment, predicted that the state would know 'a deeptruth about the citizen based on their behaviour, experience,beliefs, needs or desires'.

Loyalty Cards and Data-GatheringLet's not talk about a police state, let's talk about

supermarket loyalty cards. There isn't much differencebetween them in terms of technology, and modern IDcards seem to be close descendants of loyalty cards,intended for a similar purpose: gathering informationabout people. To be able to track someone, first youneed to identify them.

Corporations want to know as much as they can abouttheir customers, for marketing purposes, and have madean incredible investment in infrastructure for gatheringand analysing data about them. By 2004, Wal-Mart hadgathered 460 terabytes of information about customers,or more than twice the total information on the Internet.1

The majority of this data came fromloyalty cards.

Governments have adoptedelectronic ID cards because storeshave shown what powerful andeffective technology they are—notmerely effective, but cost-effective.Stores have demonstrated that theycan track and profile their customersto find their spending habits, theirweaknesses and their suggestibility,what advertising works on them.

The technology they use not onlyhad to prove it could work, but alsohad to prove it could pay foritself. If supermarketcorporations invest as much asthey do, the technology has to bevery effective.

Powerful and effective software,such as ChoicePoint andLexisNexis, has been developedfor analysing stores' loyalty carddata. Now we find some of thosesystems in use at the FBI toshortlist suspects.2

Governments have realisedthat this same profilingtechnology works and can also be applied to findingterrorists, "extremists", political dissidents or any othercategory of interest to the state. Some of thosecompanies also help in data-gathering.

When the US government obtained personal dataabout voters in 11 different Latin American states, forunspecified purposes, that data was obtained by privatecorporations including ChoicePoint.

It has been reported that the majority of USintelligence data-gathering is outsourced and thatabout 70 per cent of the budget goes to privatecorporations.

Although the majority of this spending goes tomilitary-defence corporations such as SAIC and BoozAllen Hamilton, consumer corporations also take their

place. So, do we see an evolving symbiosis betweengovernment and private corporations, where they sharetechnology and tools and cooperate in data-gathering?

RFID: A Powerful Tracking TechnologyOne of the tools that has migrated from loyalty cards

to ID cards is RFID (radio-frequency ID). It's in the newChinese ID card and it's going into all the new "smart"ID cards.

RFID is a tracking system, originally developed to trackstock in the supply chain and in warehouses. Tiny chipsallow a serial number and potential other data to beread from a distance of up to several feet. When anRFID-tagged item passes a reader, its number is

recorded. When RFID readers are connected to

a network, it is possible to compile arecord of the movements of an object(or person) by listing the times andplaces when and where the RFIDnumber was recorded.

RFID in loyalty cards allows thecardholder's name and all thepersonal information on the card tobe read from a distance of several feet,without the cardholder's knowledge.Using RFID, stores can read youridentity from your loyalty card as soon

as you walk in, without yourrealising. Now we are beingissued with government "loyaltycards" which will identify us byRFID.

The stores realised that, byplacing readers at variouslocations, they could use RFID totrack customers' movements—tosee, for example, the productsthey looked at but did not buy, inaddition to those they did.

Very quickly, the stores alsorealised that RFID in products

such as clothing items could be used to track themovements of the people who bought them. Unlike barcodes, RFID identifies each item with a unique serialnumber, differentiating identical items.

The chain stores' huge databases allowed them tokeep a tally of which objects had been bought by whichcustomers—putting names to RFID serial numbers.This extra information was very powerful in "profiling"customers; for example, they started to get data aboutwho was standing next to them, and they could guesswhether customers shopped alone, with their husbandsor wives, or with someone else.

Soon the stores will be able to read the RFID serialnumber in your national ID card in much the same way,and governments are going to sell ID confirmation to

Soon the storeswill be able to read the RFID

serial number inyour national

ID card in muchthe same way,

and governmentsare going to sell ID confirmation

to cross-referencethe serial numberon your ID card...

cross-reference the serial number on your ID card withyour name and address. Stores spend a lot of moneyacquiring data, so knowing customers' names andaddresses with certainty has really got to be worthsomething. Customers will no longer be able to hidetheir identities or give false names on loyalty cards.

When Employers Use ProfilingSome corporations already apply psychometric

profiling to their staff and potential employees to get aworkforce with the "right" profile, the "right" attitudes.Imagine how RFID tracking and profiling could facilitatethis, profiling individuals' whole lives.

By enabling ubiquitous tracking and profiling, couldID systems herald a corporate culture of conformity,with enforced redundancy for those who don't fit theright profile?

There have been widespread examples of employersdiscriminating againstindividuals on the grounds ofpolitical or union affiliations.The UK InformationCommissioner's Office foundthat many very large andrespectable companies hadengaged in illegal practices todo this.

What would happen ifemployers used data gleanedfrom ID systems and socialnetworks analysis to profilestaff, to find their friends andassociates and any affiliations?What would it mean to society and political culture ifcorporate employers could identify and discriminateagainst political and union activists, making it hard forthem to get a job? Would that be compatible withdemocracy?

Emeritus Professor Sheldon S. Wolin, a politicalphilosopher at Princeton University, USA, has warned ofthe danger of "inverted totalitarianism", as he calls it,which "lies in wielding total power without appearing to,without establishing concentration camps, or enforcingideological uniformity, or forcibly suppressing dissidentelements so long as they remain ineffectual". Suchpower, as in the USA, shows "how democracy can bemanaged without appearing to be suppressed". (ChellisGlendinning, "Every Move You Make",CounterPunch.com, 19 June 2008)

Imagine if the power of the surveillance state wereapplied to controlling political dissent, especially in anenvironment of merger between state and corporatepower. Imagine dissidents being driven from their jobsor, perhaps more subtly, just denied promotion.

Imagine how detailed files on the psychologicalweaknesses and vulnerabilities of all individuals,generated by profiling, and records of any past

indiscretions could be used to apply pressure uponopponents to government policy.

Population Surveillance and Social ControlChina has become a laboratory for both capitalism and

the development of new technologies for surveillanceand "homeland security". Naomi Klein has writtenextensively about this in her book The Shock Doctrine(Picador, 2008) and in articles such as "China's All-Seeing Eye" and "The Olympics: Unveiling Police State2.0" (www.naomiklein.org/articles/2008?page=1).

Some powerful people appear to have decided thatcapitalism works best in conditions of inequality andinjustice. A by-product of this is instability: bitternessand resentment due to the appropriation of land andresources and forcing peasants off the land to becomesweatshop workers living in unbearable slums.

This is about the rich getting richer by robbingordinary people, co-opting thepower of the state to do so.This is the reason for the highincidence of riots,"disturbances" and socialtension in contemporary China.None of this troubles the West.

What the West has tried todo, however, is guaranteeChina's stability and help keepa lid on any trouble byproviding China with access tothe latest surveillance andsecurity technology, to make ita more effective dictatorship.

New technologies that are found to work in the sociallaboratory of China can be adopted and appliedelsewhere.

A good example of this would be facial recognitiontechnology, supplied to China by the US, illegally butwith a nod and a wink, to make it easier for the Chineseauthorities to identify troublemakers in a crowd orsimply follow the movements of people of interest andperhaps identify any people whom they meet and talkwith. Recognition systems now can match one face in amillion, good enough to find one face in a city. Howneatly this dovetails with the database of digital imagesprovided by China's ID system.

RFID also has applications in the state securityapparatus. China is issuing hand-held RFID readers toits policemen so they can take people's identities fromtheir ID cards. It has the highest incidence of riots ofany country in the world, due to the severe socialconditions and inequality.

China has adopted the practice of containingdisturbances rather than wading in to break them up;instead of arresting rioters on the spot, the policemerely identify them—to arrest one by one at theirconvenience.

RFID has an obviousapplication: the identities

of everyone in a crowdcould be collected by one

mingling plain-clothespoliceman with an

RFID reader.

CCTV and surveillance technologies are used for thisidentification. RFID has an obvious application: theidentities of everyone in a crowd could be collected byone mingling plain-clothes policeman with an RFIDreader.

The RFID facility can also be useful to states withmobile populations. India is anticipating the migrationof large numbers of the rural population to the cities. Itplans to use a combination of RFID and GPS-basedGeographical Information Systems (GIF) toautomatically record the voter migration or shifting ofresidence and to automaticallyupdate databases such as theelectoral register. One can also seehow useful this would be to theChinese authorities, with largenumbers of rural peasants migratingto cities, illegally, to work as anuntraceable, unstable underclass.

So, is this the model to be appliedelsewhere: increasing inequality,increasing slum populations andunrest controlled through security?

Such displacement is a globalphenomenon. And yes, the WorldBank has an explicit role inpromoting this, saying thaturbanisation and migration aregood and necessary things.

As described in Professor MikeDavis's book Planet of Slums(Verso, 2007), a huge part of theworld's population lives inslums—a symptom of growinginequality and increasingexploitation. It's a trend that'sramping up.

In the USA, cities are dying,with whole neighbourhoods andin some cases whole districts being bulldozed, theirinhabitants dispossessed. The plight of Detroitresidents is reminiscent of post-Katrina New Orleans,with private military contractors assuming governmentpowers in Urban Management Zones designated forwholesale clearance. This is the western manifestationof a global pattern. In 2009, the US Census Bureauplans to find even the people who have lost theirhomes, by employing 140,000 temporary workers to lookfor hidden and improvised housing units and obtainGPS coordinates for every "front door". A current legalcase may make that data available to private sectorcorporations.

The worldwide implementation of systems forpopulation surveillance and monitoring has to besignificant. It doesn't sound like it is part of making theworld a kinder, nicer place.

What Can We Do?We shouldn't close on such a bleak note because it

simply isn't true that there is nothing we can do,although we have left it pretty late. We have a goodchance if we recognise what's going wrong. We need to:

1. Organise internationally. One campaign group isslightly ahead in this area: CASPIAN (ConsumersAgainst Surveillance, Privacy-Invasion And Numbering).It has an international membership, works closely withother groups in different nations and addresses the

bigger picture, including corporatedata-gathering and RFID. The authorsuggests CASPIAN as a good initialhub for contact.

2. Raise awareness, engage thepublic. It's time to raise this issue atevery opportunity to get peoplethinking about the direction of publicpolicy, to draw their attention to what’sgoing on.

3. Expose the mindset of peopleimplementing this scheme. The aimof ID cards is to create a detaileddigital record of everywhere you go,

everything you do. The aim of theRFID industry is Total Mobility—continuously tracking themovement of all significantobjects and people. What kind ofmind and personality would wantsuch a thing?

4. Don't use cards, use cash.It's incredible how much peoplehave willingly cooperated inhanding over their personalinformation, cooperating in thesurveillance of their lives. Try notto leave a digital record. Don't let

your card identify you. ∞

health issues before it. The contention that artificially createdelectromagnetic fields (EMFs) which emanate from electricity generation cancause cancer has medical and legal experts commenting that EMFs willdwarf the tobacco-smoking issue and the asbestos crisis combined.

This health issue has a history replete with destroyed careers andtarnished reputations involving scientists who have sought to help thepeople, and with so-called experts who have colluded with the forces goingagainst the precautionary principle of public health: first, do no harm.

In his assessment for the journal of the Royal Institute of Public Health inthe UK, Dr Stephen J. Genuis reported that vested interests have beeneffective in delaying restrictive EMF legislation. He also noted that claims ofenvironmental harm have been challenged by researchers who fail to disclosecovert ties to industry, that economic interests exert undue influence onmedical journals, and that some editors and journal staff have suppressedpublication of scientific results that are adverse to the interests of industry.1

Professor Mark Ellwood, who was installed by the Australian federalgovernment in the most elevated position in the nation as Director of theNational Cancer Control Initiative to provide advice and makerecommendations to the government and other key groups regarding cancercontrol, submitted expert witness reports for the power companies (andtelecommunications companies) for court cases. Professor Andrew Wood,installed by the federal government in another position that serves to protectus—ARPANSA, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear SafetyAdministration—also submits expert witness reports for the power industryfor court cases. Professor Wood is currently chair of the ELF (extremely lowfrequency) Standard Working Group for the ARPANSA Radiation HealthCommittee.

It was not until 1979 that the western world took notice that these silent,invisible EMFs may be hazardous. Epidemiologist Dr Nancy Wertheimer andelectrical engineer Ed Leeper conducted a study in Denver, Colorado, USA,and reported that children who were twice or three times as likely to haveleukaemia tended to live in homes close to power lines and transformers.Their results, published in a scientific paper, showed an increased incidenceof leukaemia, lymphomas and nervous system tumours in children.2

Their hotly debated research had an immediate effect: in response topublic opposition to the construction of new high-voltage power lines, theelectricity industry convened an expert panel of eminent and conservativemedical scientists.

Included in this panel was Professor David Carpenter,from the Department of Public Health at New YorkUniversity, and Dr David Savitz, one of America's mostrespected epidemiologists. Professor Carpenter'soriginal scepticism was overturned when theWertheimer and Leeper study, originally heavilycriticised as flawed, was extended and improved. Itconfirmed a significantly increased risk of leukaemia.3

The reason why childhood leukaemia is studied isbecause the strongest evidencefor a cancer is that the samecancer is significantly elevatedin children.

In 2001, leading occupationalmedical epidemiologist Dr SamMilham, MPH, and E. M.Ossiander, of the WashingtonState Department of Health,Olympia, researched the rise ofelectrification in the UK andUSA and concluded that thechildhood leukaemia peak ofcommon acute lymphoblasticleukaemia was attributable to residential electrification:75 per cent of all childhood acute lymphoplasticleukaemia and 60 per cent of all childhood leukaemiacould be preventable.4 In 2007, Professor Michael Kundireported that up to 80 per cent of all cases of childhoodleukaemia may be caused by exposure to these fields.5

It was reported as early as the 1960s (Court-Brown andDoll) that a new leukaemia-causing agent entered the UKand USA in the 1920s–1930s.6 Today it is quite widelyaccepted that these EMFs can cause childhood leukaemia.

There is some evidence that other childhood cancers maybe related to EMF exposure, but not enough studies havebeen done.7

Wertheimer and Leeper were the first to see amagnetic field–breast cancer connection in their 1982study of residential magnetic field exposures of adults.8

Even though this study looked at overall cancer risk inadults and found an increase in excess cancers of thenervous system, uterus and lymphoid tumours, "they

discovered a nearly threefoldincrease among women youngerthan 55 who lived near powerlines, indicating that magneticfield exposure had accelerateddevelopment and growth ofbreast cancer".9

Breast tissue (along withfoetal tissue) is the mostsensitive tissue in the body andalso the most sensitive toartificial (man-made) radiation,which is why any study intobreast cancer has significant

ramifications for all of us. Breast cancer is a very-high-risk disease for women

today. The contention that EMFs are a risk factor, letalone a causative factor, in female breast cancer has beenheavily resisted. When individual cases of breast canceror breast cancer clusters in women occur, variousreproductive factors are also taken into account whichcan mask the role that EMFs play.

When, in 2001, three men in one small officedeveloped breast cancer, Dr Sam Milham testified for

the men in their 2003 court case, arguing thattheir cancers were caused, in part at least, byEMFs emanating from an electrical vault nextto a basement office where the men worked.10

In 1997, Dr Thomas Erren, MPH, had notedthat an association between ELF EMFs andbreast cancer is supported in men.11

In 2002, even the Washington, DC, legalcounsel for electricity utilities worldwideconceded in a privileged attorney–clientcommunication that the stance of the powerindustry had to change.12 Studies arenormally conducted on exposed andunexposed subjects, but with these EMFs weare all exposed, making a definitive causehard to prove.

Also, it would be unethical to exposepeople to high measurements of these EMFsto prove the case. People don't welcomehaving to change convenient lifestyles, and,when doubt and confusion are introduced,the public is often quick to disregard theimportance of data that makes changingingrained habits a requirement.

Today it is quite widelyaccepted that these

EMFs can cause childhoodleukaemia. There is some

evidence that otherchildhood cancers may berelated to EMF exposure...

There have been thousands of studies of EMFs, moreso than with any other health issue. In 1997, Dr Errencommented that there are more epidemiological studiesthat link cancer to these fields than to environmentaltobacco smoke.13 We are all concerned about theinfiltration of chemicals into our wider and morepersonal environments, yet an analysis of 65 studiesreported that the combined effects of toxic agentstogether with EMFs enhance the damage as comparedto the toxic exposure alone.14

In 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) statedthat it is "reasonable and warranted" to lessen exposureto these ELF EMFs, "[p]rovided that the health, socialand economic benefits of electric power are notcompromised"15—information that will take decades tobe acted upon around the globe.

EMFs and Cancer ClustersFifty-three people in a small post

office in Capalaba, Brisbane, Australia,with an old electricity substation nextdoor, were diagnosed with serious andfatal diseases by 2000, although staffhad started to take notice of thedisease patterns in the early 1990s.Investigation of the electricalenvironment was incomplete, andthere is still no resolution to thissituation today.

When research is conductedinto these disease clusters, oftenit's the case that measurementsare taken after hours when theelectrical environment haschanged or that investigationsare conducted after extensiveremedial electrical work has beencompleted. Often the cancers areput down to "random chance" or"coincidence".

However, in the case of thebreast cancer cluster involving 17women working in a small areawithin the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)TV studios in Toowong, Brisbane, the cancers, whichwere diagnosed between 1995 and 2006, were thoughtto be workplace-related but no cause could be found. Inearly 2005, the women pinpointed the area which theythought was in question.

A private firm, EMC Technologies, took radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation measurements inApril 2005 and concluded that all the work areassurveyed complied with the ARPANSA RPS3 standard,16

but it wasn't until 18 December 2006 that ARPANSAinvestigated the premises for ELF EMFs. Within threedays, the ABC staff were no longer working on thepremises.

The specific measurements of ELF EMFs in the areapinpointed by the staff were not mentioned in theARPANSA report.17 Complete and precisemeasurements of ELF EMFs as well as transient EMFsshould have been taken in the area.

Professor Bruce Armstrong led the ABC's owninvestigation into the cancer cluster in 2006, looking atother breast cancer risk factors such as reproductive,lifestyle and age factors.

When questioned on national television in August2007 on this breast cancer cluster and the frustration ofsome of the women who felt that the properinvestigations were not carried out before all theequipment was taken out, he stated: "It is veryimportant to do the investigations properly, and indeed

we did have a problem with the ABCwith the fairly quick decision toremove people from the site.

It did mean that some of themeasurements we wanted to do werenot complete, and I do understandhow the women feel in that respect;they don't feel that it's been donesatisfactorily..."18

This breast cancer cluster cameclose to showing the world that EMFscan cause breast cancer. Even thoughfurther analysis was not conducted onmale staff in this workplace, the

possibility does exist thatprostate and/or testicular cancersmay have been present or maydevelop in the future.

If complete measurements ofall aspects of the electricalenvironment had been taken, thiscould have been a win-winsituation for all citizens of theworld: the women could haveknown what caused their breastcancer and (along with everyother woman and man) wouldhave been able to ensure that

their next working environment was safe; ABC TV wouldhave been the perfect medium to spread the much-awaited information across the globe; and the ABC itselfwould have been commended on its groundbreakingachievement in helping millions of people (andscientists) throughout the world understand EMFs morefully. It also could have enabled the process ofworkplace reform to be instigated.

These cancer clusters serve to show us what ishappening silently on a daily basis in everyone's lives.The adults and children of today have already beenaffected by these EMFs. Miscarriage, stillbirth, pre-termdelivery, altered gender ratio and congenitalabnormalities have been linked to maternal exposure.19

If completemeasurements of

all aspects of the electrical

environment hadbeen taken, this

could have been awin-win situation

for all citizens of the world:

the women couldhave known whatcaused their breast

cancer...

Testicular abnormalities, atypical sperm,chromosomal aberrations and offspring congenitaldefects have all been linked to paternal exposure.20

Fathers employed in industries with higher than averageEMF exposure have also been noted to have offspringwith higher rates of brain and spinal cord tumours.21

The Perils of Dirty ElectricityAny harmful EMFs can be classed as "dirty"—to put

into common idiom the scientific and technicallanguage that accompanies this public health issue—yet there is another facet of electricity, termed "dirtyelectricity", that is now seen as even more of a threat toour health than the electromagnetic fields mentionedabove. It is not only the fields from power lines andsubstations that can be a concern; dirty electricity isrunning through virtually every building on the planet.An even more prevalent and insidious agent, thissecretive and subtle underlyingmenace is in all probability onecause of the dramatic increasein many illnesses and cancers.

Dr Sam Milham stated in2008: "Very recently, newresearch is suggesting thatnearly all the human plagueswhich emerged in the twentiethcentury, like common acutelymphoblastic leukemia inchildren, female breast cancer,malignant melanoma andasthma, can be tied to somefacet of our use of electricity.There is an urgent need for governments and individualsto take steps to minimize community and personal EMFexposures."22

In 1994, the B Armstrong et al. study relating to dirtyelectricity was published.23 However, it was not until2005, when Dr Sam Milham and electrical engineerLloyd Morgan came out of retirement due to theirconcern over a cancer cluster, that information worthy ofcreating a paradigm shift finally began to emerge, withthe results having serious implications for all of us.

(These brave researchers had honourable intentionsand impressive credentials.24 Dr Sam Milham in 1982was the first to link workers exposed to EMFs withhigher rates of leukaemia. Lloyd Morgan, a braintumour survivor and a director of the Central BrainTumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS),introduced the Benign Brain Tumor RegistriesAmendment Act into US Congress that became law in2002. Along with breast cancer, leukaemia and diseasesof the central nervous system, brain tumours are amongthe diseases that are more prominent in this healthissue.)

The researchers were responding to alarm over acluster of 18 cancers reported in 2003 among the 137

teachers at a middle school in California. Even thoughthe school district administration had refused a numberof requests for these men to assist in the evaluation ofthis cluster, which involved nearly three times morecancers than the average, one teacher invited theseresearchers to visit the school after hours to takemeasurements of the electrical environment, which theydid at their own expense. When the researchersreported their findings to the Superintendent ofSchools, Dr Milham was threatened with prosecution for"unlawful...trespass" and the teacher who had invitedthem into the school received a letter of reprimand. Theteachers then filed a California OSHA (OccupationalSafety Health Administration) complaint, whichultimately led to the progressive California Departmentof Health Services (CDHS) becoming involved. TheCDHS measured the different facets of the electricalenvironment and provided Milham and Morgan with the

data, which showed that dirtyelectricity—"transients", whichare radio-frequencies ridingalong electrical wiring—wasinvolved. Finally, this was astudy that was conducted withthe highest integrity, able tobreak through the red tape andpolitics that usually accompanythe problem of harmfulelectrical environments. Ofimmense importance, Milhamand Morgan commented thattransients may be a universalcarcinogen similar to ionising

radiation,25 an already established cause of cancer. The only two published studies relating to dirty

electricity—Armstrong et al. 1994 study and theMilham–Morgan study—both show very positiveincreases in cancer risk with increasing cumulativeexposure to transients.

What is of critical importance is that the cancer risksat the school in California were comparable to thesmoking–lung cancer risk. Of no surprise, breast cancercases were reported in this cluster along with severalother cancers including colon cancers, uterine cancersand malignant melanomas. Artificially created EMradiation (EMR) is a determinant in the development ofmalignant melanoma, an increasingly prevalent cancerthat was uncommon until around 50 years ago.26

In fact, research on EMFs has been conducted for over50 years in Russia,27 and the newer research on dirtyelectricity has been carried out by Russian experts inconjunction with scientists and electrical engineersfrom the United States, Canada, Kazakhstan and theUkraine.28 Kazakhstan has already swiftly mandatedprotection against dirty electricity in industrialsituations,29 a model which should be implemented inall countries across the globe.

Dirty electricity is invirtually every building,

whether it be our homes,schools, workplaces or

hospitals. Energy-efficientappliances and equipmentare amongst the culprits...

Ongoing Risk Assessment We are in the midst of an invisible and silent plague of

pandemic proportions that has been woven into oureveryday lives. Dirty electricity is in virtually everybuilding, whether it be our homes, schools, workplacesor hospitals. Energy-efficient appliances andequipment are amongst the culprits that create dirtyelectricity. Dr Magda Havas, Associate Professor ofEnvironmental and Resource Studies at Trent University,Canada, reports that many houses with solar panelshave very high levels of dirty electricity.30 Wind turbinescan also generate dirty electricity, which is thentransferred along the grid.

If these EMFs released a visible substance on us, wewould comprehend very quickly the attack on our bodyand that dirty electricity is creatinghavoc with our immune systems.Even though we cannot see it andmost of us cannot feel it, dirtyelectricity is affecting all of us.Removing dirty electricity has seencases of multiple sclerosis improvedramatically and even go intoremission, and has also resulted inasthmatics using inhalers less often.31

Some diabetics are discovering thattheir insulin levels are beingartificially raised in dirty electricalenvironments. In 2004, Dave Stetzer,president of Stetzer Electric, andDr Havas presented to the WHOtheir research showing thedifference between the bloodsugar level in a dirty electricalenvironment (a measurement of36) and one that was filtered (ameasurement of nine).32

Autism is now seen as thefastest-growing developmentaldisability. Dr Havas reported thata recent pilot research study hasshown higher rates of babiesborn with autism where themothers' sleeping locations had high levels of radio-frequency EMR.33

Children who have leukaemia or are in recovery havepoorer survival rates if exposure to extremely lowfrequency EMF levels is high.34 It follows that all ill andrecovering patients should be aware of their exposure tothese fields.

Lichtenstein et al. concluded from their study ofidentical twins that environmental factors are theinitiating event in the majority of cancers.35 On studyingcancer trends in the 20th century, Hallberg andJohansson reported that there is a commonenvironmental stress that accelerates several forms ofcancer—colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer,

bladder cancer and melanoma.36 From when electricitywas first generated to the introduction of AM radio(1920s), radar (1940s), FM radio and TV (1950s),computers (1970s), mobile phones (1980s), and wirelesstechnologies and compact fluorescent lighting (2000s),artificially created EMR is the most likely environmentalstress.

Artificially created EMR may also be the underlyingmenace in the tobacco smoking and asbestos crises.Hallberg and Johansson reported that exposure toradiowaves (artificially created EMR) appears to be as biga factor in causing lung cancer as cigarette smoking, and thatdeaths due to asbestosis were not known until after the1960s despite the fact that asbestos had been used as abuilding material since the end of the 19th century.37

We cannot afford to beunsuspecting recipients of thisartificial electromagnetic radiationwhich has been newly introduced insuch a short period of our history.Associate Professor Olle Johansson, ofthe Department of Neuroscience atthe Karolinska Institute in Sweden,commented that today no one wouldconsider having a radioactivewristwatch with glowing digits (as youcould in the 1950s), having yourchildren's shoes fitted in a strong X-ray machine (as you could in the

1940s), keeping radium in opentrays on your desk (as scientistsdid in the 1930s) or X-raying eachother at garden parties (asphysicians did in the 1920s).38

These examples relate toionising radiation; apart fromnuclear fallout, we have a choicewhether to expose ourselves to itor not.

Many different types ofartificially created radiation havebeen woven into our daily lives.It is awareness that will bring

understanding of the different types of radiation so wecan make our own informed choices on what we arewilling to be exposed to and what we must avoid.School teachers and principals alike must be educatedon this most important health issue so that measurescan be put into place to ensure that they and ourchildren are not at risk in a dirty electrical environment,for dirty electricity has been found to be especiallyprevalent in environments with concentratedfluorescent lights and computers. Employers andemployees alike must understand that their workplacemust also be protected. People in their own homesmust also protect themselves from modern equipmentthat also generates dirty electricity.

If these EMFsreleased a visiblesubstance on us,

we wouldcomprehend veryquickly the attackon our body and

that dirty electricityis creating havocwith our immune

systems.

Finally, Dr Cedric Garland, the epidemiologistcurrently investigating the breast cancer cluster on thecampus of the University of California, San Diego, isfocusing on the possible role of EMFs, especiallytransients.39 Dr Garland advised that the femaleemployees should be informed about tamoxifenresearch—that ELF EMFs have been found to partiallyblock this drug's action in preventing breast cancerspreading or a recurrence of breast cancer—andrecommended that those taking the drug should betransferred to a lower-current area if they so desired.

Transients cause cancer. Just as we filter our water toremove contaminants so we have cleaner water, now wemust filter our electricity to remove this contaminant sowe have cleaner electricity. ∞

Outbreak in Oman (continued)

Sutter et al. (1991) also wrote: "Among the most disturbing features ofthe [paralytic poliomyelitis] outbreak [in Oman] was that it occurredin the face of a model immunisation programme and that widespreadtransmission had occurred in a sparsely populated, predominantly

rural setting." This represents further evidence that vaccination caused theoutbreak. The vaccinators had travelled into sparsely populatedcommunities.

Sutter et al. (1992) reviewed vaccination records for 70 children aged 5–24months with poliomyelitis and from 692 matched control children during apoliomyelitis outbreak investigation in Oman. "A significantly higherproportion of cases received a DTP vaccine injection within 30 days beforeparalysis onset than did controls (42.9% vs. 28.3%). The proportion ofpoliomyelitis cases that may have been provoked by DTP injections was 35%for children 5–11 months old." They concluded that their study confirmedthat "...injections are an important cause of provocative poliomyelitis.Although the benefits of DTP vaccination should outweigh the risks ofsubsequent paralysis, these data stress the importance of avoidingunnecessary injections during outbreaks of wild poliovirus infection."

The fact is that previous injections of other vaccines (such as thosecontaining a pertussis component) causing provocation paralysis wasdescribed in the 1950s (for instance, McCloskey, 1950). So, the situation inOman was just another example of the phenomenon of provocationparalysis. However, time and again, mass vaccination programs haveignored this important fact and continued causing suffering and disability tochildren all over the world. Another important well-known fact is that thesignificant majority (65 per cent) of recipients of any vaccines actually getthe disease which the vaccines are supposed to prevent, after the first dose(Hedrich, 1933). Hedrich studied outbreaks of measles for 30 years in theBaltimore (USA) area. He established that when about 63 per cent ofsusceptibles get measles, an epidemic stops. Strebel et al. (1992) wrote thatvaccine-associated paralysis in recipients of OPV usually occurs after theirfirst dose. In Oman (and elsewhere), those who became paralysed after thefirst dose were simply excluded from efficacy calculations as unvaccinated orsuch vaccinations "were not counted".

Sutter et al. (1993) published an article on another outbreak in Oman afterthe post-vaccination polio outbreak of 1988–89. For obvious reasons Icannot quote the entire article, so I highlight certain sentences which reflectthe observed reality. The authors wrote: "Investigation of the outbreaksuggested that its occurrence was due to several factors, includingaccumulation of children susceptible to poliomyelitis due to a reduction inoverall immunity levels from exposure to wild poliovirus in 1987–1988,suboptimal efficacy of trivalent oral poliovaccine (OPV), provocation

poliomyelitis from antecedent injections with DTPvaccine, and participation of fully vaccinated children inthe chain of transmission... A total of four laboratory-proven cases occurred in 1991. The first two casesoccurred in the Batinah region in March 1991 (44- and49-months-old children), both of whom received fourdoses of OPV. Two additional cases (25 and 30 monthsold), all after 5 doses of OPV, occurred in August andOctober 1991 in adjoining Eastern and Interior regions.The same genotype of wild type 3 poliovirus wasisolated in all of them." They concluded that theexperience in Omanindicates that uniformimplementation of thepresent WHO strategy "maynot be sufficient tointerrupt transmission" andthat several additionaldoses of OPV to all childrenmay be needed.(Obviously, no doses woulddo the trick.)

Paralytic poliomyelitis

outbreaks in RomaniaAccording to Strebel et al.

(1994), althoughpoliomyelitis due to wildvirus infection had virtuallydisappeared from Romania,with no cases having beendocumented between 1984and 1989, vaccine-associated paralyticpoliomyelitis was reportedat very high rates for overtwo decades. In November1990, to decrease the risk ofv a c c i n e - a s s o c i a t e dparalytic poliomyelitis, oralpoliovirus vaccineproduced in Romania was replaced by imported oralvaccine produced by a Western European manufacturer.The overall risk of vaccine-associated paralysis inRomania was 14 times higher than the "reported" risk inthe USA. However, the risks of recipient vaccine-associated paralysis relating to the first dose of oralvaccine were similar for the Romanian and importedvaccines.

The word "reported" is crucial due to a chronicendemic underreporting of any "vaccine-preventablediseases" after the introduction of mass vaccination,which consequently seemingly improves the efficacyand masks the real risk. All this is further compoundedby a new definition of the disease poliomyelitisintroduced after mass vaccinations were started in the

1950s and 1960s. The classical definition ofpoliomyelitis is "a disease with residual paralysis whichresolves within 60 days"; the new definition is "a diseasewith residual paralysis persisting for more than 60days". Since only less than one per cent of the casesdevelop a residual paralysis persisting for more than 60days, the new definition "eradicated" the vast majority ofcases in which paralysis resolved within 60 days as notbeing poliomyelitis. Strebel et al. (1994) wrote: "Casesare confirmed if they meet the following definition: anacute illness characterized by flaccid paralysis which is

compatible with theclinical presentation ofpoliomyelitis in the acutephase and residualneurologic deficit 60 days(or later) after the onset ofparalysis."

Additionally, cases weredefined as "vaccine-associated" if there was nodirect evidence of wildpoliovirus infection and ifthere was a positivehistory of recent exposureto oral poliovirus vaccine.This definition isinteresting in that ithighlights the fact thatvaccine-caused paralysisacquired very highsignificance. Just in casesomeone may think thatvaccination eradicated thewild poliovirus in theenvironment (as claimedby the vaccinators), notethat natural infectionswith wild poliovirusresulted in thedevelopment of naturalimmunity without

paralysis. The outbreaks of paralysis were directlyconnected with the mass administration of a variety ofvaccines, starting with smallpox and continuing withdiphtheria, tetanus and, especially after World War II, allthe other vaccines. A great number of articles havebeen published about "provocation poliomyelitis",meaning "provoked by prior injections with a variety ofvaccines".

Even in the case of Romania, Strebel et al. (1995) wroteabout intramuscular (IM) injections within 30 days ofimmunisation with oral poliovirus vaccines as a riskfactor for vaccine-associated paralysis. They wrote: "InRomania the rate of vaccine-associated paralyticpoliomyelitis is for unexplained reasons 5 to 17 timeshigher than in other countries. Long ago it was noted

28 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2009

that intramuscular injections administered during theincubation period of wild-type poliovirus infectionincreased the risk of paralytic disease (a phenomenonknown as 'provocation' poliomyelitis). We conducted acase-control study to explore the association betweenintramuscular injections and vaccine-associatedpoliomyelitis in Romania.

"Of the 31 children with vaccine-associated disease,27 (87 percent) had received one or more intramuscularinjections within 30 days before the onset of paralysis,compared with 77 of the 151 controls (51 percent)(matched odds ratio, 31.2; 95 percent confidenceinterval, 4.0 to 244.2). Nearly all the intramuscularinjections were antibiotics, and the association wasstrongest for the patients whoreceived 10 or more injections(matched odds ratio for more or equal10 injections as compared with noinjections, 182.1; 95 percentconfidence interval)."

So, the risk of paralysis was stronglyassociated with injections given afterthe oral polio vaccine, but not withinjections given before or at the same timeas the vaccine. However, in all cases,OPV was given simultaneously withDPT vaccine.

Interestingly, as reported by Strebelet al. (1995), the timing of theonset of paralysis, with IMinjections given after DPT andOPV, was 9–30 with a median of16 days (the highest risk being at8–14 days, 15–21 days and 22–30days), and 0–7 days and 15–21days with DPT and OPV injectionsgiven before the onset ofparalysis. This reflected thephenomenon of critical days asdiscovered and defined byScheibner (2004).

Poliomyelitis epidemic in The GambiaOtten et al. (1992) and Deming et al. (1992) reported on

the epidemic in The Gambia of poliomyelitis associatedwith type 1 poliovirus involving 305 cases (estimated1986 population of 768,995) from May to November1986, following a six-year non-epidemic period with onlyfive reported cases. The highest attack rate was in one-year-old children: 394 cases per 100,000 of population.The national attack rate was 40 per 100,000 ofpopulation. A vaccination coverage survey showed that64 per cent of one- to two-year-old children werevaccinated with at least three doses of trivalent oralpolio vaccine at the beginning of the epidemic. Fifty-seven cases became paralysed more than two weeksafter a national mass vaccination campaign, in which 95

per cent of children aged one to seven years old werereported to have received a dose of trivalent oral poliovaccine. The authors concluded that the massvaccination campaign may only have been partiallysuccessful in ending the epidemic.

Wyatt (1987) addressed another well-known problemof provocation poliomyelitis caused by injections of DPTtogether with OPV in The Gambia. This phenomenonwas addressed in the above section on Romania.

Paralytic poliomyelitis outbreak in NamibiaVan Niekerk et al. (1994) described an outbreak of

paralytic poliomyelitis in Namibia. They wrote: "Thelast confirmed cases of poliomyelitis in Namibia had

been reported in 1988. However,between November 8, 1993, andJanuary 7, 1994, 27 cases of paralyticpoliomyelitis were confirmed in thecountry. The outbreak was limited tothe south health region; at least 80%of infants in this region have receivedfour doses of oral poliovaccine (OPV)by the age of 1 year. The patientsranged from 13 months to 12 years; 24were younger than 5 years. Of the 26patients whose vaccine status wasknown, 14 had received four doses ofOPV, 6 had one or two doses, and 6 no

vaccine." The normal healthservices and hence vaccination inthe north had been severelydisrupted by a long war.Interestingly, the authorsreasoned that since due to poorvaccination efforts the wildpoliovirus was circulating freelyin the northern health region,children developed solidimmunity to it (withoutdeveloping paralysis).

This interesting and importantinformation was repeated by

Biellik et al. (1994), who wrote: "In late 1993 apoliomyelitis epidemic occurred almost exclusively inresidents of the south health region [the area that washighly vaccinated]. We speculate, therefore, thatendemic wild poliovirus circulation continueduninterrupted in Angola and the two north regions ofNamibia across the well-travelled border since 1989,when cases were last reported. Although OPV coveragewas fairly low in northern compared with southernNamibia, a higher proportion of northern children mayhave been protected, at least to type 1, by naturalimmunity, thus suppressing epidemics. In 1993 OPV3coverage among infants aged less than 1 year washigher in the south than the north. However, evidencesuggests that a substantial pool of susceptibles,

especially among children aged 1–3 [years], was createdwhen [vaccine] coverage was low, and the apparentinterruption of wild poliovirus circulation limited theacquisition of natural immunity [in the well-vaccinatedsouthern health region]."

The same situation of poliomyelitis occurring in fullyvaccinated children, usually straight after massvaccination drives, has occurred in many othercountries, both developed and developing. Thedifference was in the truthfulness in reporting.

Mechanics of vaccine-associated paralysisThere is more than one aspect to the mechanics of

vaccine-associated paralysis. One of the mostimportant suspects is increased neurovirulenceassociated with a single nucleotidechange in a noncoding type 3poliovaccine genome.

Evans et al. (1985) wrote: "Most ofthe small number of cases ofpoliomyelitis which occur in countrieswhere Sabin's attenuated poliovirusvaccines are used are temporallyassociated with administration ofvaccine and involve polioviruses oftypes 2 and 3. Recent studies haveprovided convincing evidence that theSabin 2 and 3 viruses themselves mayrevert to a neurovirulent phenotypeon passage in man [meaningbabies] … a point mutation inthe 5' noncoding region of thegenome of the poliovirus type 3vaccine consistently reverts towild type in strains isolated fromcases of vaccine-associatedpoliomyelitis. Virus with thischange is rapidly selected onpassage through the humangastrointestinal tract. Thechange is associated with ademonstrable increase in theneurovirulence of the virus."

Inherent problems with inactivation of viruses(including those contaminating polio vaccines) werealready known as early as 1961 and 1962.

Gerber et al. (1961) described inactivation withformaldehyde which is subject to asymptotic factor,meaning that within about 40 hours most viruses areinactivated but afterwards there is a viable residue oflive viruses indefinitely.

Fenner (1962) described reactivation of animalviruses: "It is still a common practice among medicalmen [and women] to speak of 'killed' and 'live' viralvaccines, and the everyday meaning of the terms is clearenough. But, as I shall demonstrate, virologists nowrecognise a variety of situations in which 'killed' virus

may multiply and produce new infectious virus. Theyhave therefore discarded the term 'killed' and adoptedthe word 'inactivated' to replace it. Even 'inactivated',however, is used in a restricted sense; it refers to theloss of viral infectivity—that is, to the inability of thevirus particles to multiply and produce a new infectiousvirus in susceptible cells, when these cells each receiveonly single particles of the inactivated preparation, andno other virus particles or derivates thereof." Morerecently, inactivation has been used as a method ofstudying the structure and function of viruses. "Thisapproach received its principal stimulus from thediscovery that inactivation was sometimes reversible."(Fenner, 1962)

Little attention has been given to viral intracellularreactivation. Multiplicity ofreactivation of UV-irradiated influenzavirus was demonstrated in 1951, andcross-reactivation was shown to occurwith the same virus in 1956 and 1961.Recently-irradiated vaccinia virus wasshown to undergo both multiplicityand cross-reactivation (Fenner, 1962).(In my opinion, this shows the fallacyof irradiating food: irradiated bacteriaare only temporarily weakened andrevert to their original virulence.) In1936, Berry and Dedrick (quoted byFenner, 1962) had already

demonstrated that some rabbitsinoculated with a mixture of heat-inactivated myxoma virus andactive fibroma virus died ofmyxomatosis. These dataemphasise the dangers ofinjecting dubiously "inactivated"or "non-genetically" reactivatedviruses.

Published orthodox medicalliterature has documented manyoutbreaks of paralysis connectedwith mass vaccination programstime and again and in many

countries. In this article, I've only described a fewexamples, but it would be easy for the interested readerto search the existing literature for more examples.

ConclusionsNot only has mass polio vaccination not eradicated

paralytic poliomyelitis, it has caused a number ofoutbreaks of paralysis directly linked to theadministered vaccines.

These days, when a vaccinee develops poliomyelitis, itmay not be called poliomyelitis; instead, it may becalled viral or aseptic meningitis, ascending paralysis(Guillain-Barré syndrome), cerebral palsy (over 75 percent of cases are not diagnosed at birth but after six

months) or other such names. According to MMWR(1997; 32[29]:384-385), there are 30,000 to 50,000 casesof aseptic meningitis every year in the United States.Considering that the vast majority (99 per cent) of thereported cases in the pre-vaccine era were non-paralyticand would have corresponded to aseptic or aviralmeningitis, then vaccination has actually increased theincidence of poliomyelitis. In the pre-vaccine era, suchhigh numbers only occurred in some epidemics. Now,such numbers occur every year, year by year. ∞

Kennedy's Deadly Confrontation with MJ-12 and CIA over UFO Files

There are two main phases to US President John F. Kennedy's attempts togain access to files concerning extraterrestrial life and technology. Thefirst concerns a series of executive actions Kennedy took early in his

administration. On February 19, 1961, Kennedy issued an Executive Order to place Cold

War psychological warfare programs under the control of his NationalSecurity Advisor. This was followed on June 28 by a series of presidentialmemoranda to implement presidential executive oversight over covert CIAoperations through the Joint Chiefs of Staff. These executive actionscoincided with Kennedy's efforts to gain access to the activities of a highlyclassified project dealing with UFOs and extraterrestrial life: the MJ-12Special Studies Project. Kennedy's executive actions led to a bitter conflictwith his outgoing CIA Director, Allen Dulles, who was opposed to grantingKennedy access.

The second phase began on September 20, 1963, when Kennedy embarkedon a high-risk political strategy of getting NASA to cooperate with the USSRon joint space and lunar missions. Less well known is that this brought to aclimax a confrontation over the release of classified UFO files with the CIAand those in control of the MJ-12 Special Studies Project.

This article reviews testimony, documents and events concerningKennedy's interest in UFOs and extraterrestrial life and how this culminatedin a deadly behind-the-scenes confrontation with the CIA and MJ-12 in thefinal month of his life. Documents revealing the political events prior to hisassassination are evidence that a coup occurred with the backing of seniorCIA officials and MJ-12.

Kennedy's Efforts to Gain Access to MJ-12 ActivitiesThe existence of a Top Secret project responsible for extraterrestrial life

and technology is supported by three official government documents. The first is a document found in 1985 in The US National Archives that

explicitly refers to an "MJ-12 Special Studies Project". It was found among agroup of declassified US Air Force documents and acknowledged as part ofthe official records belonging to The National Archives.1 The document,dated July 14, 1954, is a memorandum sent by President Eisenhower'sNational Security Advisor, Robert Cutler, to the US Air Force Chief of Staff,General Nathan Twining, to schedule a meeting for the MJ-12 Special StudiesProject briefing. The Cutler–Twining memorandum is among the mostauthoritative documentary sources so far for the existence of an MJ-12Special Studies Project.2

The second government document referring to a Top Secret UFO controlgroup is a Top Secret memorandum from Wilbert Smith, who at the time wasa senior radio engineer with the Canadian Department of Transport.

In this memo, dated November 21, 1950, Smith wrotethe following to the Controller of Telecommunicationsconcerning flying saucer technologies being secretlystudied in the USA by a very highly classified group:

a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in theUnited States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb. b. Flying saucers exist. c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentratedeffort is being made by a small group headed by DoctorVannevar Bush. d. The entire matter is considered by the United Statesauthorities to be of tremendous significance.3

The Smith memorandum confirms that in 1950 a smallgroup headed by Dr Vannevar Bush was secretlystudying the technologies associated with the UFOissue. Dr Bush had earlier headed the Office ofScientific Research andDevelopment (in 1941–1947)and the joint military servicesResearch and DevelopmentBoard (RDB).4

At the time of Smith's memo,Dr Bush was on the oversightcommittee of the RDB and aleading scientific adviser toPresident Truman. Bush's roleis significant in the light ofanother leaked document, theTruman memorandum, to bediscussed shortly.

The third document involvesthree 1952 Top Secret memorandums from the JointChiefs of Staff, titled "Joint Logistic Plan for 'MAJESTIC'".The memos, declassified in 1976, state:

The following plans in support of MAJESTIC are nowunder preparation: a. A psychological warfare plan.b. An unconventional warfare plan. c. Cover and deception plans. d. A civil affairs/military government plan. e. A command plan. f. A logistic plan.g. Transportation guidance, to be included in the logisticplan.h. A map and chart plan. i. A communications plan.5

This set of memos is important in that it shows that in1952 a project called MAJESTIC was underway, and itinvolved significant support across a wide spectrum ofareas that would be expected for something involvingUFOs and extraterrestrial life: psychological warfare,covert military operations, civil affairs/militarygovernment, logistics, communications, etc. The JointChiefs' memos corroborate the 1954 Cutler–Twining

memorandum involving a project called Majestic-12,and what Smith described in 1950 as a UFO groupheaded by Dr Vannevar Bush.

The three preceding official documents corroborate anumber of leaked documents also describing a UFOcontrol group called MJ-12, MAJESTIC or similarvariations.

One leaked document is an alleged Top Secretmemorandum written by President Truman to Secretaryof Defense Robert Forrestal on September 24, 1947.Referring to recent conversations on an undisclosedmatter (UFOs and extraterrestrial life), President Trumanwrote: "Hereafter this matter shall be referred to only asOperation Majestic Twelve."6

Truman went on to say: "...any future considerationsrelative to the ultimate disposition of this matter shouldrest solely with the Office of the President followingappropriate discussions with yourself, Dr. Bush and the

Director of Central Intelligence." The Truman memorandum

was described as "SpecialClassified Executive Order#092447" and was attached to alarger leaked document calledthe Eisenhower BriefingDocument.

Alleged to be a briefing toPresident-Elect Eisenhower,dated 18 November 1952, thedocument describes thebeginning of Majestic-12operations and lists the 12members of the group.7 The

Eisenhower Briefing Document has been exhaustivelyresearched and found by some prominent UFOresearchers to be historically consistent with events,documents and officials of the time.8

Taken collectively, the Cutler–Twining memo, theSmith memo, the Joint Chiefs of Staff memos, theTruman memo and the Eisenhower Briefing Documentconclusively show the existence of a Top Secret militaryscientific group, at the time called Majestic-12 or somevariation, responsible for dealing with extraterrestriallife and technology.

These documents reveal that MJ-12 operated in aclandestine manner, was given enormous logisticalsupport by the Pentagon, was closely associated withCIA covert operations and escaped direct presidentialoversight.

Kennedy's Attempts to Control MJ-12 When President Kennedy came to office in 1961, he

became aware of the existence of MJ-12 and itsrelationship to information concerning UFOs andextraterrestrial life. He decided to find out more aboutits covert activities and re-establish presidentialexecutive authority over it.

These documents reveal thatMJ-12 operated in a clandestinemanner, was given enormous

logistical support by thePentagon, was closely

associated with CIA covertoperations...

On June 28, 1961, President Kennedy wrote thefollowing to Allen Dulles, Director of CentralIntelligence (DCI):

National Security MemorandumTo: The Director, Central Intelligence AgencySubject: Review of MJ-12 Intelligence Operations as theyrelate to Cold War Psychological Warfare Plans

I would like a brief summary from you at your earliestconvenience.9

This leaked National Security Memorandum (NSM)clearly shows that, in June 1961, Kennedy wanted tolearn about MJ-12 activities and the relationship withpsychological warfare. While the leaked Junememorandum has not beenacknowledged by the CIA (it wasclassified Top Secret), otherdocuments from the period supportits authenticity.

Early in his administration,President Kennedy showed that hedesired to restructure the NationalSecurity Council and bring allintelligence and psychological warfareactivities under direct executivecontrol.

On February 18, 1961, PresidentKennedy issued Executive Order10920 which abolished theOperations Coordinating Board.10

The board was the primaryinteragency organisationresponsible for Cold Warpsychological warfare activities.11

Its responsibilities were handedover to Kennedy's NationalSecurity Advisor, McGeorgeBundy, and the Department ofState.

President Kennedy's EO 10920shows that he desired to gaincontrol over all intelligenceactivities related to psychological warfare. Abolishingthe Operations Coordinating Board shows that he waswilling to dismantle any government entity in order tobring its psychological warfare operations under thedirect control of his national security team.

EO 10920 helps substantiate his later, June 28, 1961,National Security Memorandum concerning a review ofMJ-12 activities that Kennedy had learned involvedpsychological warfare.

The authenticity of the June 28, 1961 memorandum isalso supported by a declassified set of three NationalSecurity Action Memorandums (NSAMs) issued on thesame day to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and also forwardedto Dulles.

NSAMs 55–57 placed Cold War operations firmlyunder the control of the Joint Chiefs.12 According to Col.Fletcher Prouty, they were Kennedy's main means ofgaining control over CIA covert operations.13

The three June 28 NSAMs support the content ofKennedy's NSM to the Director of Central Intelligence,issued the same day, which involved Cold Waroperations by MJ-12.

As I will show later through a leaked burneddocument, the three NSAMs explain why the JointChiefs were excluded from the most classified UFOinformation by MJ-12.

Finally, I referred earlier to three 1952 Top Secretmemos, titled "Joint Logistic Plan for 'MAJESTIC'", fromthe Joint Chiefs of Staff. Prominent among the various

"plans in support of MAJESTIC" was a"psychological warfare plan".14

Once again, this shows therelationship between MJ-12(MAJESTIC) operations andpsychological warfare. Kennedytherefore had good reason to issue hisJune 28, 1961 memorandum to Dulles,asking him for a review of MJ-12psychological warfare operations.

Dulles's response to Kennedy's June28 NSM was an alleged Top Secretletter dated 5 November 1961.Dulles's letter gives an overview of the

MJ-12 activities with regard topsychological activities.

It describes UFOs as part of"Soviet propaganda" designed "tospread distrust of thegovernment".15

In the letter, Dullesacknowledges that while it ispossible that "true U.F.O. casesare of non-terrestrial origin",these "do not constitute aphysical threat to nationaldefense". Most significantly, hewrote:

For reasons of security, I cannot divulge pertinent data onsome of the more sensitive aspects of MJ-12 activities...

If genuine, Dulles's letter was giving PresidentKennedy only minimal information in response to hisJune 28, 1961 request for a brief summary of MJ-12activities.

Dulles and the Burned MJ-12 MemorandumThe leaked June 28, 1961 NSM, Executive Order 10920,

NSAMs 55–57 and Dulles's November 1961 letter revealthat a power struggle was occurring over presidentialexecutive control of Cold War psychological warfareprograms and the covert activities of MJ-12.

Early in hisadministration,

President Kennedyshowed that he

desired to restructurethe National SecurityCouncil and bring all

intelligence andpsychological

warfare activitiesunder direct

executive control.

Up until his resignation as DCI on November 29, 1961,Dulles was the pivotal figure in the power struggle withKennedy over MJ-12 activities and control of classifiedUFO files. This power struggle is reflected in a leaked,partially burned, draft memorandum allegedly rescuedfrom a fire in which the remainder of (former) CIAcounterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton's fileswere being burned after his death on May 12, 1987.

A former counterintelligence colleague of Angleton,who claimed to be present at the burning, released it onJune 23, 1999.16 According to MJ-12 investigators DrRobert Wood and Ryan Wood, the burned document...

... is an original carbon with an Eagle watermarkcharacteristic of government work, but so far forensiclaboratories have been unable to trace it... Although nodate is given, its content directly suggests the month ofSeptember. The year is estimated to be in the early 1960sand is still under investigation.17

The burned document datesfrom the Kennedy era and hasthe characteristics of agovernment document.18 If itscontents are accurate, itprovides smoking-gun evidenceof the power struggle betweenKennedy and MJ-12 over accessto UFO information.

The classified Top Secretdocument with MJ-12 codewordaccess is a set of directives fromthe Director of the CIA, whosimultaneously headed the MJ-12 Special StudiesProject, to six other members of the project. It says onthe cover page:

As you must know LANCER [Kennedy's SecretService codename] has made some inquiries regardingour activities which we cannot allow. Please submit yourviews no later than October. Your action to this matter iscritical to the continuance of the group.19

This document clearly acknowledges that Kennedy'sefforts to gain access to UFO information soon aftercoming to office on January 20, 1961 actually imperilledthe existence of the MJ-12 Special StudiesProject/Group.

While the burned document has no date of issue, theauthority of the writer and the political context indicatethat it was written shortly after Kennedy had issued hisJune 28, 1961 NSM requesting a "Review of MJ-12Intelligence Operations as they related to Cold WarPsychological Warfare Plans".20 The burned documentacknowledges that it had "become necessary to reviewand evaluate duplication of field activities in light of thecurrent situation".21

This appears to be a reference to the review thatDulles was asked to undertake on June 28.

The burned document appears to be a draft of a seriesof MJ-12 directives from Allen Dulles, who knew his timeas DCI was limited due to the April 1961 Bay of Pigsfiasco. He needed an answer from six other MJ-12members listed in the burned document by October, amonth before he was due to retire as DCI on November29, 1961. The burned document contains a number ofdirectives concerning how to control UFO informationand ensure that it would not be shared with the "ChiefExecutive [President Kennedy], National SecurityCouncil Staff, department heads, the Joint Chiefs, andforeign representatives". Basically, Dulles's secretdirectives proscribed Kennedy's national security teamfrom gaining access to the most sensitive UFO filespossessed by the CIA and MJ-12.

While the response of other MJ-12 members is notfound in leaked documents, Dulles's 5 November 1961letter to Kennedy indicates that his secret draft of MJ-12

directives was approved. Dulles's letter firmly suggests

that MJ-12 decided not tocooperate with Kennedy. Thus,Kennedy's efforts to incorporateMJ-12 psychological warfareactivities under the directcontrol of his National SecurityAdvisor were dismissed.

So, while Dulles and MJ-12frustrated Kennedy's efforts togain access to classified UFOfiles in late 1961, less than twoyears later Kennedy embarked

on a course of action that would renew his conflict withMJ-12 and bring it to a devastating climax.

The rapid increase in recent decades in sightings of unusual vehicle forms in the skies of MotherEarth suggests a plethora of different and amazing propulsion methods of extraterrestrial (ET)craft, including the more advanced non-heavy-metal "high-frequency" craft.

Recently, large vehicles travelling at great speed and capable of producingsmaller ships in voluminous numbers have been seen and could be called"grandmother ships" (see videos taken near Mexico City on May 22, 2009, atwww.youtube.com/watch?v=I83v6MqRwcQ).

The question continues to be asked: "What is their source of propulsion andhow can they travel such long distances?"

At the outset, there appears to be more than a single method of propulsion forall of the spacecraft seen in our skies. We have been observing for decades thatthere are many forms of intelligent life in the local universe that have conqueredthe limitations of our own "classical physics" and are seemingly able to travelacross space and time. Consequently, it should be assumed that multiplemethods of travel most probably do exist.

Nonetheless, we will briefly examine several energy systems and otherpossible propulsion technologies that could be used by both ET spacecraft andwhat we call "high-frequency vehicles", which are those not limited to any localsystem but operate across many spectrums and realms of intelligence. Still,when these craft enter into this space-time, they operate in practical terms inour world of matter. In The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch®(www.keysofenoch.org), I (Dr J. J.) speak about the use of rotation by bothelectromagnetic fields and magnetohydrodynamic fields as one of the principlesources of propulsion for these vehicles.

Movement by Perpetual Pulse The Keys of Enoch tells us that movement takes place "through the worlds of our

physical space domain by a perpetual pulse which uses magnetic andelectromagnetic poles energized by the grids of Stralim [intense light]radiations" (Key 301:15). The book goes on to state that the vehicles movewithin an "all-embracing energy field which is composed of multiple magnetic,electromagnetic, and magnetohydrodynamic domains unified into a 'field stasis'using multiple polar denominations". In other words, this is a description ofhow vehicles operate, having the ability to go faster than the speed of ourcommon light while maintaining what some engineers would call the use of a"perpetual pulse".

So what exactly is a "perpetual pulse" which would use magnetic andelectromagnetic energy? First, let us briefly look at the concept of "pulse"technology. The most well-known example of this is the Maglev train system,used in Japan and China, which utilises a magnetic pulse propulsion system. Itis so efficient that it not only allows for great speeds but it also allows trains to

climb grades in excess of 10 per cent! The pulsed magnetsinduce reversed electric currents in the aluminium platesthat form the track. The induced currents create their ownmagnetic fields that oppose those of the train. With theaid of optical sensors, the fields pulse "on" just as themagnets pass the midpoint of the plates and, by repulsion,propel the train forward. The Maglev technology workswith this pulsed electricity to propel the train, minimisingthe amount of power needed.

Pulsed energy, therefore, seems to produce more forceper overall energy used than does continuous energy. Forthis reason, pulse technology is also being developed forseveral aviation uses and to confirm certain theories.Nuclear pulse technology has also been recentlyconsidered for NASA's new Orion spacecraft program,where it may require long-distance flights to take a newgeneration of astronauts to local planets in the next twodecades.

More common for aviation isthe pulsed plasma thruster (PPT)used for vehicle propulsion,where an arc of electric currentcan produce quick andrepeatable bursts of impulse.This creates a high velocity,much higher than the thermalvelocity of chemical engines, anduses the "electromagneticacceleration" of propellant viathe Lorentz force.

PPT was used by the Soviets inearly space-flight (e.g., Zond 2,launched in 1964) and was used inthe first electric thrusters to be deployed in space. It is stillbeing used in flight experiments today on the NASAGoddard Space Flight Center's EO-1 spacecraft(www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/about/fs23grc.html).

"Free Energy and "Over-Unity" TechnologiesThe Lorentz force is a well-known force created by the

interaction of a magnetic field and an electric current.Consequently, pulse technology can be used withelectromagnetic energy. Such electromagnetic energy isnow being considered by many "new-energy scientists"who are experimenting to create "over-unity" technologiesas the key not only to extraterrestrial travel but also to"free-energy" technologies. So-called "over-unity" and"free-energy" devices do not create energy but, rather,convert existing, potential or usable energy, the source ofwhich is unknown in today's science.

According to inventors Thomas Bearden(www.cheniere.org), Stephen Patrick et al., who filed for aUS patent on a "Motionless Electromagnetic Generator"(MEG) (US Patent 6,362,718, granted March 26, 2002), thistechnology is the right step forward towards such over-unity or free-energy technologies (seewww.byronwine.com/files/MEG.pdf). In their abstract, they

claim that their electromagnetic generator prototypeincludes a permanent magnet and a magnetic coreincluding first and second magnetic paths. It has inputcoils that are alternately pulsed to provide induced currentpulses in the output coils. Driving electrical currentthrough each of the input coils reduces a level of magneticflux from the permanent magnet within the magnet's patharound which the input coil is located. The MEG isreported to have a coefficient of performance greater thanone, or over-unity operation.

According to UK physicist Duncan Barker, the MEG issimilar to a transformer and consists of a hollow core witha permanent magnet in the middle. Drive coils on eitherside of the magnet switch the flux back and forth betweeneach side of the core. Pick-up coils on each side of the coilgenerate a voltage from the changing magnetic flux. Aload is then connected to the output of the pick-up coils.The device utilises a geometric phase effect, or the

Aharonov–Bohm effect, discoveredby Yakir Aharonov, David Bohm etal. in 1959, which is well known inquantum mechanics andquantum electrodynamics. TheAharonov–Bohm effect shows theprimacy of potentials over theirassociated fields, anddemonstrates that electric fieldeffects can be created from themagnetic vector potential, A, evenin the absence of the magneticfield, B. By using a high-permeability core, the MEGseparates the A potential and the

B field whereby the magnetic field, B, is contained onlywithin the high-permeability core. This leaves the vectorpotential, A, outside the core to create an electric fieldwhich is felt by the electrons in the pick-up coils, creating acurrent.

Over-Unity Measurement GuidelinesAlthough many inventors and researchers are working to

achieve such over-unity conditions, our close associatePatrick Bailey, PhD, a graduate of MIT and formerly aproject manager with the Electric Power Research Institute(EPRI), warns the non-scientific observer to be verycautious. Dr Bailey claims that it is not so difficult to showa simple demonstration using the wrong equipment toexhibit a device that creates "more energy out than energyin". Over the last 25 years, Dr Bailey has examined andrecorded with one of the authors (Dr J. J.) over 150technologies of energy systems that have been claimed tohave "over unity" performance or new "clean energy"processes.

Dr Bailey affirms, after extensive investigation, that onemust use a high-frequency digital oscilloscope todetermine the true voltage, current, power and energymeasured in such devices. He points out that, in most

of impulse.

instances, people are measuring high-frequency pulsed DCoutput or rapidly pulsating current wave-forms, and whenthey measure these using AC meters that have beencalibrated to sine wave 0.707 RMS (root mean square) theycan create very inaccurate results. Therefore, testingtechnology using simply AC meters (like an old VTVM, avacuum tube volt meter) does not give anyone an accuratemeasurement of what is truly happening. In fact, with asimple resistor, capacitor and inductor arrangement, sucha device can often show a false over-unity measurementbecause this measurement method ignores the current-to-voltage wave-form phase angle. An accurate measurementrequires the voltage versus time to be digitally stored(using many data points per cycle) and the current versustime to be similarly stored, and then the power should becalculated digitally point by point. Thenthe input power and output power canbe averaged from that data over anycycle of interest. This would provide thetrue output-to-input power ratio. (Seewww.padrak . com/ ine /DANGERSPOWER.html.)

Electromagnetic Energy DevicesThere are, nonetheless, many

successful technologies moving ahead,and the authors have personallyobserved the invention produced byKohei Minato in Toyko, Japan. He hastwo US patents, one of which is fora "Magnetic Rotation Apparatus"(US Patent 4,751,486, Class335/272, issued on June 14, 1998).Minato's device is wheel-like andhas a rotating shaft with numerouspermanent magnets spaced aroundit, some angled and some not.Minato angles them along thedirection of rotation such that thesame magnetic pole type facesoutward, so that each of thepermanent magnets is obliquelyarranged with respect to the radialdirection line of the rotor.

Although Minato doesn't seek to make claims of "freeenergy", he does appear to be able to convert energy froman unknown source and thus measure more energy outthan energy in. According to reports, Minato'selectromagnetic motor has been measured to have anoutput-input ratio of 4.3:1, where 500 watts of power isgenerated with only 34 watts of input. In other tests,reports have shown 300 watts of output with 16 watts ofinput. (For further commentary, see http://keelynet.com/gravity/curtis.htm.)

We observed that since Minato is using electromagnets,it only takes a small amount of electricity to charge them,and once they are functioning the "magnetic arrangement"

provides enough energy for the wheel to rotate, producingenergy in its rotation and also creating more energy outthan in. Equally important for modern technology, itcreates little or no heat and no sound, only the rotation ofthe wheel. Sceptics point out that the Minato device'senergy is not derived from permanent magnets but frommagnets charged by electricity (electromagnets). However,it is nonetheless a fascinating technology, even if only usedfor fans in cooling systems as he has produced to date.

There are numerous other electromagnetic projectsunderway. An e-book entitled A Practical Guide to Free EnergyDevices has some of the best clear designs of certain ideasand devices (download from www.free-energy-info.co.uk/).Researchers have reported replicating some of thesedesigns with positive results.

Inventor John Bales has created anunusual stator and rotor arrangement.His US Patent 6,552,460, entitled"Brushless Electro-mechanicalMachine" (issued on April 22, 2003), hasboth stator and rotor elements. Thestator has at least one set of fourtoroid-shaped electromagneticmembers arranged along an arc, apredetermined distance apart. Each ofthe members has a slot, and the rotorelement includes a disc adapted topass through the slots. The disccontains a plurality of permanent

magnet members spaced side byside about a periphery, arranged soas to have alternating north-southpolarities. These permanentmagnet members are sized andspaced such that, within the statorarc length, the ratio of statormembers to permanent magnetmembers is about four to six. Theelectromagnetic members areenergised in a four-phase, push-pull fashion to create high torque.

Why are all these scientistsintrigued with electromagnetic

energy devices? First, the real source of electromagneticfields is not completely understood; yet there seems to besome "force" that can move objects simply by interactingwith the magnetic field, and at the same time generate anelectric field. Of course, an electric current generates amagnetic field, as electricity and magnetism are seen asbeing related to the same force or wave field and arealways in some way connected. In permanent magnets,both the magnetic field exists as well as an electric current.However, the question is this: "Is the field within themagnet or without, in the surrounding 'energy flux' orquantum field around the magnet?"

Magnetic fields are always moving or rotating and aregenerally considered harmless and non-polluting;

theoretically, they could exist in every part of the universe.These motors use some arrangement of north and/orsouth configurations to try to achieve, with a movement ofa wheel or an electric current, an "over-unity" effect(although sometimes a very small part of the power of asecondary circuit is used to energise the primary field). Wedo believe that spacefaring civilisations could havemastered this technology for continuous travel throughoutthe universe. Mastering this energy of rotating "wavefields" means that there would be no real need foradditional conventional energy sources such as nuclear,fission or solar.

Whereas the Bales device works with alternating north-south polarities, John Bedini has taken a differentapproach with his device (see www.johnbedini.net). Bedinihas worked closely with Tom Bearden and holds US Patent6,392,370 (issued on May 21, 2002), entitled "Device andMethod of a Back EMF Permanent Electromagnetic MotorGenerator". This device has arotor with magnets of the samepolarity, plus input and outputcoils made by wrapping each barwith a conducting material suchas copper wire.

One of the newest versions ofhis motor/generator is a 10-polemachine where the rotor isembedded with permanentmagnets in the centre of themotor and the parallel primaryand secondary windings on thecoils are located on the outsideof the motor.

The magnets of the rotor are in opposition to themagnetised pole pieces of the inner coils. This inventionworks through a process of regauging; that is, the flux fieldcreated by the coils is collapsed because of a reversal ofthe magnetic field in the magnetised pole pieces, thusallowing the capture of available back-EMP(electromagnetic pulse) energy.

Bedini has also worked with the "Hamel Spinner",originally put forth by David Hamel. The device hascontinued to be developed and demonstrated in a toyconfiguration, as presently shown by American investigatorGeorge Green. It creates what is known as a "magneticgate", which is produced by having a larger ring composedof north-pole magnets interact with an inner ring alsocontaining strictly north-pole magnets of a lesser number.In the George Green rendition (as seen onwww.youtube.com under Project Camelot, which may differfrom the above explanation), the inner object readily spinswhen placed within the larger ring, creating a type ofmagnetic perpetual motion. Green calls the spacebetween the two a "vortex of energy". This has beencorroborated by Jan Merta, the Czech engineer whoformerly worked with the National Energy Board inCanada.

Pulse Speed and Electro-Radiant ImpulsesAnother researcher believes that the secrets of free

energy are not in the geometry of the magnetic or voltagepulses, but rather in the quickness of the pulse. Dr PeterLindemann (www.free-energy.ws/) states in his book TheFree Energy Secrets of Cold Electricity that when high-voltagespark-gap events are performed correctly, they result in ahuge net power gain in the electrical system. The basicreference he uses is a quote from Dr Nikola Tesla in his USPatent 787,412, "Art of Transmitting Electrical EnergyThrough The Natural Mediums" (issued on April 18, 1905).In this patent, on page two, lines 122–130, Tesla states: "Ihave found it practicable to produce in this manner anelectrical movement thousands of times greater than theinitial—that is, the one impressed upon the secondary bythe primary A—and I have thus reached activities or ratesof flow of electrical energy in the system E' C E measuredby many tens of thousands of horsepower." This would

indeed be "free energy"! Dr Lindemann believes that he

has replicated some of thetechnology behind the "TeslaTransformer" by using a high-frequency, high-voltage pulse toproduce an "electro-radiantevent" (see www.free-energy.ws/radiant-energy.html).This occurs when the directcurrent is discharged across aspark gap and interruptedabruptly before any reversal ofcurrent can occur. He also statesthat such electro-radiant

impulses shorter than 100 microseconds are completelysafe to handle and will not cause electric shock or harm. Inaddition, electro-radiant impulses shorter than 100nanoseconds are cold and easily cause lighting effects invacuum globes. Several other researchers claim to havereplicated this work, and further investigations arewarranted. A summary of Dr Lindemann's book and theseresults can be found atwww.padrak.com/ncsricf/bailey_082505.doc.

Another interesting effect might be produced when rapidelectrical pulses are transmitted around and then backthrough a permanent magnet! Such experiments are notfound in the open literature. In fact, the only knownreference for such a device is the "Magnetstromapparat"that was built by Hans Coler for the German governmentduring World War II, as mentioned in the BritishIntelligence Objectives Sub-Committee Final Report No.1043, now declassified (seewww.rexresearch.com/coler/colerb~1.htm).

None of this is new! One of the first technologies thatshowed this plurality of permanent magnets or magneticbars positioned at regularly spaced intervals is covered byUS Patent 4,025,807, titled "Electromagnetic Motor",issued on May 24, 1977, to Leonard W. Clover. His

invention includes a rotor having a plurality of permanentmagnets on its periphery and a stator closelyencompassing the rotor, and also having a plurality ofintervening permanent magnets and electromagnetspositioned for interaction with the rotor magnets. Cloverclaims that the electromagnets also need to be positionedat appropriate angular intervals on the stator, differingfrom the angular intervals of the rotor magnets, so thatregardless of the instantaneous rotor disposition (whenthe motor is turned "on") one or more of theelectromagnets will be energised to initiate rotation.

Most of these technologies are working with the notionof a stator and a rotor. This is because the foundation ofmost research is based on the notion that there needs tobe a stationary magnet and a spinning rotor. However,some have disputed this notion, asdemonstrated by Michael Faraday andlater by Bruce DePalma, who saw thatthe important field is not within themagnet but within the surroundingspace.

Wheels within WheelsHowever, if we are to reconstruct the

prophet Ezekiel's vision of the "wheelwithin the wheel", we would have tohave two objects with semi-parallel orparallel magnets, both of which are ableto rotate. Technically, instead of thestator and a rotor, the true wheelwithin the wheel requires at leasttwo rotors, which may be bettersuited to utilising the surroundingfields.

The closest design havingmultiple moving wheels workingwith electromagnetism in "parallelphase" for energy production is the"design function" that comes fromthe literal childhood "vision" ofBritish inventor John Searl. His"Searl Effect Generator" (SEG) isthe result(www.searlsolution.com). Searl's prototype generatorconsists of not just two but three(!) concentric rings(currently fixed to a base), with each ring composed of fourdifferent materials. Surrounding each of the rings arerollers and coils to enhance the energy through theirmovement. Searl is trying to create more than simply anenergy technology but also a working flying saucer, whichhe claims is really an inverse-gravity vehicle.

All of these inventions are hopefully bringing us to thepoint of not only space travel but a true "free-energymachine". It is interesting that some, like John Searl andNikola Tesla, have received their designs in vivid visions. Isthere some civilisation out there in space or beyond that istrying to help us leave behind spaceship Earth for wider

frontiers? The right scientific breakthroughs now couldhelp solve many of the problems we are facing and couldtake us into the real 21st century.

Magnetohydrodynamics In many of these test arrangements, permanent magnets

are used; but an advanced electromagnetic vehicle mayutilise a similar method of simply taking a specific alloy orenergised plasma and making the entire structuremagnetic with alternating fields to create electromagneticforce. This is not far-fetched because, along with theadvancing technology of electromagnetism, there are alsointeresting developments taking place, especially inRussia, in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) research. Theword describes itself, where "magneto-" stands for a

magnetic field and "hydro-" for a liquid(e.g., water, liquid metal or plasma) in adynamic movement. Very simply,magnetic fields induce currents in amoving conductive fluid. This actionhas been considered to be behind theEarth's inner core dynamo and also maybe the reason why the Sun producesflares.

Rumours spread in 2005 that threeleading French physicists, Drs Jean-Pierre Petit, Claude Poher and MauriceViton, had constructed the "Petit–VitonMagnetohydrodynamic Motor" by using

a combination of bothelectromagnetic and nuclearenergy (for background details, seewww.mhdprospects. com/). Claimswere also made that it was able toproduce over 1,000 million watts ofenergy and could suppress shockwaves so as not to slow down aspacecraft when it came intocontact with our atmosphere.Although we could find no definiteevidence to support this claim,nevertheless we agree thatmagnetohydrodynamics may be a

key to the propulsion source of the spacecraft.Plasma physics has also become very advanced, and

such fuels as plasma are becoming more plentiful with lowor no carbon byproducts. Plasma gasification, forexample, can be created with two electrodes and a pulsedelectrical discharge in a "plasma arc".

The importance of MHD was confirmed to us by adeclassified document released under the US Freedom ofInformation Act in regard to a vehicle seen operating overthe skies of Brazil. Years ago in Brazil, we saw a reportwhich suggested the propulsion system of one recoveredvehicle may have had an MHD power source.

Physicist Robert ("Bob") Lazar (www.boblazar.com)supposedly wrote his thesis on magnetohydrodynamics.

It is interestingthat some, likeJohn Searl andNikola Tesla,

have received theirdesigns in vividvisions. Is theresome civilisation

out there in spaceor beyond that istrying to help us

leave behindspaceship Earth for

wider frontiers?

Whether or not people want to agree with Lazar's claimsregarding the use of element 115 as an energy source,there is other very interesting information that he madepublic which does fit with the creation of a plausible"gravity-controlled" system. Yet, in 2004, scientists inAmerica and Russia briefly created element 115 that laterdecayed into element 113. In fact, the super-heavyelement 115 has been designated Ununpentium (Uup).

It is also interesting that Lazar points out in hisdiscussions that a vehicle not only must have a renewable-or free-energy propulsion system but also must be able tohave mastery over the Earth's gravitational field. Lazardiscusses, as does the text of The Keys of Enoch, two forms ofgravity: "gravity A" and "gravity B".

The Keys... calls this "gravity" versus "Gravity". He statesthat "gravity A" is the "gravity" that holds mass together;labelled the "strong nuclear force" in physics, this is what isused to distort space-time for interstellar travel. Thenormal "gravity" field ("gravity B")is what exists on a stellar andplanetary level and is what mostpeople are familiar with in termsof what keeps us walking on theEarth.

Lazar claims that the ETvehicle technology he observedwhile at "Area S4 inside Area 51"had three large gravity amplifiers,each of which could beindependently positioned. Heclaims that the craft he workedon used one gravity generator tolift itself off the ground, but, onceit was hovering in the air, the occupants could swing thetwo remaining energy generators in front of them to createa distortion field.

A singular amplifier when activated is called the"omicron configuration", and all three functioning togetheris called the "delta configuration" which is used for outer-space travel. The craft then does not "defy" gravity butcreates its own gravity field and travels within that field,following the distortion that it has created. The Keys ofEnoch tells us that when coming here the "vehicles cancreate their own energy corridors to appear on the surfaceof the Earth". The Keys... also tells us that vehicles don't"travel" between planets but move within an all-embracingenergy field.

Lazar further stresses that the ships make no sound,although others have reported strange high- or low-frequency sounds from their "contact" experiences, whichcould be related to the energy source that the craft areusing.

Lazar also explains that the glowing halo around thespacecraft is due to its high-energy propulsion sourcewhich ignites the nitrogen and oxygen in our atmosphere,because when you apply enough energy to gas moleculesthey emit photons (light).

A Sea of Untapped EnergyAccording to physicist Tom Bearden: "Every charge in

the universe is already a true negative resistor of the purestand most definitive (and easily demonstratedexperimentally) kind" (www.icehouse.net/john1/index34.htm). This brings us to our next possible energyresource: zero-point energy (ZPE). Planck and Nernst(1916) sought to define the vacuum field as hf/2, whichtells us that the average minimum energy is one-half of "h"(Planck's constant) times "f" (the frequency).

However, ZPE could be more clearly defined as thevibrational energy that molecules retain even at absolutezero temperature. The new-energy physicists who areinvestigating ZPE tell us that it is this energy that exists inevery volume of space, which has something to do with thefact that it is very difficult to reach an absolute zerotemperature. In fact, ZPE is classically the vibrationalenergy that molecules retain even at the absolute zero of

temperature, where motion neverseems to disappear completely.

So ZPE theoretically exists asan underlying sea of energy. Thismay be directly related toelectromagnetism, or it maysimply be that every atom inspace has a massive field ofenergy behind it. There is thefamous Casimir effect andPlanck's black-body spectrum,both of which seem todemonstrate that ZPE exists.

More importantly, newadvances in the area of quantum

mechanics are revealing that the wave fields or flux may bemore like ripples in the state of a universal, all-pervadingfield. This is in agreement with the research of inventor DrT. Henry Moray, who in the 1930s reportedly demonstratedto the US press for several days a stand-alone "free-energy"device and who eventually published the book The Sea ofEnergy in Which the Earth Floats (see excerpts atwww.rexresearch.com/ moray2/morayrer.htm).

The term ZPE was first used in the popular literature inThe Keys of Enoch over 30 years ago to describe the unusualfunctional aspects of boundary conditions and the mannerin which some forms of life adjust to quantum change. Ittells us: "Secondary systems of physical creation mustacknowledge the universal zero-point as the origin ofgalactic matter in the same way a child acknowledges thecord of his mother's womb out of which he is extended"(Key 302:13).

Moreover, physicists like Richard Feynman and JohnWheeler reportedly calculated that the quantity of suchZPE or torsion energy contained in a single small objectlike a coffee cup or a light bulb could boil the oceans, ifable to be tapped.

ARE SUNSPOTS DISAPPEARING?by Dr Tony Phillips, Science@NASA

The Sun is in the pits of thedeepest solar minimum innearly a century. Weeks and

sometimes whole months go bywithout even a single tiny sunspot.The quiet has dragged out for morethan two years, prompting someobservers to wonder: are sunspotsdisappearing?

"Personally, I 'm betting thatsunspots are coming back," saysresearcher Matt Penn of theNational Solar Observatory (NSO) in

Tucson, Arizona. But, he allows,"there is some evidence that theywon't".

Penn's colleague Bill Livingston ofthe NSO has been measuring themagnetic fields of sunspots for thepast 17 years, and he has found aremarkable trend: sunspotmagnetism is on the decline.

"Sunspot magnetic fields aredropping by about 50 gauss peryear," says Penn. "If we extrapolatethis trend into the future, sunspotscould completely vanish around theyear 2015."

This disappearing act is possible

because sunspots are made ofmagnetism. The "firmament" of asunspot is not matter but, rather, astrong magnetic field that appearsdark because it blocks the upflow ofheat from the Sun's interior. If Earthlost its magnetic field, the solidplanet would remain intact; but if asunspot loses its magnetism, itceases to exist.

"According to our measurements,sunspots seem to form only if themagnetic field is stronger thanabout 1500 gauss," says Livingston."If the current trend continues, we'llhit that threshold in the near future,and solar magnetic fields wouldbecome too weak to form sunspots."

"This work has caused a sensationin the field of solar physics,"comments NASA sunspot expertDavid Hathaway, who is not directlyinvolved in the research.

The controversy is not about thedata. "We know Livingston andPenn are excellent observers," saysHathaway. "The trend that they havediscovered appears to be real."

The part colleagues have troublebelieving is the extrapolation.Hathaway notes that most of theirdata were taken after the maximumof Solar Cycle 23 (2000–2002) whensunspot activity naturally began todecline. "The drop in magneticfields could be a normal aspect ofthe solar cycle and not a sign thatsunspots are permanentlyvanishing."

Penn himself wonders about thesepoints. "Our technique is relativelynew and the data stretches back intime only 17 years. We could beobserving a temporary downturnthat will reverse itself."

The technique they're using waspioneered by Livingston at the

Graph: Sunspot magnetic fields measured by Livingston and Penn from 1992 to February 2009 using an infrared Zeeman splitting technique.

McMath–Pierce solar telescope nearTucson. He looks at a spectral lineemitted by iron atoms in the Sun'satmosphere. Sunspot magneticfields cause the line to split intwo—an effect called "Zeemansplitting", named after the Dutchphysicist Pieter Zeeman whodiscovered the phenomenon in the19th century. The size of thesplit reveals the intensity ofthe magnetism.

Astronomers have beenmeasuring sunspot magneticfields in this general way fornearly a century, butLivingston added a twist.While most researchersmeasure the splitting ofspectral lines in the visiblepart of the Sun's spectrum,Livingston decided to try aninfrared spectral line. Infraredlines are much more sensitiveto the Zeeman effect andprovide more accurate answers.Also, he dedicated himself tomeasuring a large number ofsunspots—more than 900 between1998 and 2005 alone. Thecombination of accuracy andnumbers revealed the downturn.

If sunspots do go away, it wouldn'tbe the first time. In the 17thcentury, the Sun plunged into a 70-year period of spotlessness, knownas the Maunder Minimum, that stillbaffles scientists. The sunspotdrought began in 1645 and lasteduntil 1715. During that time, someof the best astronomers in history(e.g., Cassini) monitored the Sunand failed to count more than a fewdozen sunspots per year comparedto the usual thousands.

"Whether [the current downturn]is an omen of long-term sunspotdecline, analogous to the MaunderMinimum, remains to be seen,"Livingston and Penn caution in arecent issue of Eos . "Otherindications of solar activity suggestthat sunspots must return in earnestwithin the next year."

Whatever happens, notesHathaway, "the Sun is behaving inan interesting way and I believewe're about to learn somethingnew".(Source: by Dr Tony Phil l ips,Science@NASA, 3 September 2009,h t t p : / / s c i e n c e . na sa . g o v / h e ad l i n e s /y2009/03sep_sunspots.htm)

THE MAUNDER MINIMUM ANDTHE LITTLE ICE AGE

The Maunder Minimum is thename for the period roughly

spanning 1645 to 1715; it was usedby John A. Eddy in his landmark1976 paper published in Science. Itwas a period when sunspots becameexceedingly rare, as noted by solarobservers of the time.

One recently published paper(Vaquero et al., Solar Physics207[2]:219) suggests that theSun's rotation slowed in thedeep Maunder Minimum (1684).

Throughout the Little Ice Age,the world also experiencedheightened volcanic activity.Indeed, scientists havetentatively identified fourcauses of the Little Ice Age:decreased solar activity,

increased volcanic activity, internalvariability of the climate system,and anthropogenic influences.

One of the difficulties inidentifying the causes is the lack ofconsensus on what constitutes"normal" climate. ∞(Sources: Wikipedia, "MaunderMinimum", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunder_Minimum; Wikipedia, "Little IceAge", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age)

Journey to the Sacred Kingdom

The general populace living in the sky-brushing land of Asia, aptlycalled the Roof of the World, has been acutely conscious of the verityof Shambhala for centuries now. The belief in a secret Kingdom ofWise People has lived on throughout the ages, and the existence of

Shambhala is further supported by a 1,000-year-old record. It comes to usfrom a Russian source, found in 1893 in a manuscript at theVyshenski–Uspenski hermitage near Shatsk in Tambov Province. Called "TheSaga of Belovodye" (Belovodye is Russian for Shambhala, or Land of the LivingGods), the story appeared in the 4 April 1949 edition of Novaya Zarya ("NewDawn"), a Russian newspaper in San Francisco.

It relays the account of a young Slavic monk named Sergius, who spentseveral years in a monastery on Mount Athos in northern Greece, beside theAegean Sea. The ill health of his father caused him to return to Kiev, and sometime after his arrival Sergius, then nearing 30 years of age, obtained anaudience with Prince Vladimir the Great (956–1015 CE). His purpose was torelay to him what he had learnt in the monastic library about a mysterious"land in the East where virtue and justice prevailed" ("The Saga of Belovodye",Novaya Zarya, ibid.). Prince Vladimir was so fascinated by the story of thelegendary land that in the year 987 he appointed Sergius leader of a largeexpeditionary party that he equipped and dispatched in search of this Asiaticwonderland. The prince's advisers estimated the 6,000-mile (9,660-km) roundjourney would take three years, but decades passed without a word from theexpedition. The people of Kiev believed that all members of the team hadperished; but in 1043 an old man appeared in Kiev, declaring himself to be themonk Sergius whom Vladimir the Great had sent in search of the Valley of theImmortals some 56 years earlier. The essence of his story was duly recordedand preserved among the mystics of a Russian monastery, and it was thatdocument that was found in 1893.

Father Sergius said that at the end of the second year of their difficultjourney, many people and animals in the group had died, either of extremeweather conditions or from attacks by wolves and bears. In one desolateterritory, their party came across a pile of skeletons of men, horses, camels anddonkeys and they were so terrified that they refused to go any further. Only twoof the party agreed to continue with Sergius, and at the end of the third year oftravel these two companions were left in a village because of their failinghealth. Father Sergius himself had reached the limit of endurance but wasdetermined to complete his journey or die. Rumours he heard from the peopleof various regions through which he passed indicated that such a fabulousland as Shambhala did exist and that he was heading in the right direction. Heemployed another guide who assured him that he could take him closer to theSacred Kingdom, which the locals called "the Forbidden Land…the Land ofLiving Gods and the Land of Wonders" ("The Saga of Belovodye", ibid.).

Three months later, Father Sergius reached theborders of Shambhala. At a particular point, his onlyremaining guide refused to proceed further, frightenedof the invisible guardians of the snowy mountains.Sergius was still unafraid of death and full of faith in theexistence of a community of holy people that he had setout to find. Besides, he was too exhausted to turn back.After another few days of lonely trekking, he wassuddenly accosted by two strangers who madethemselves understood to him, even though they spokean unknown language.

Thereupon Sergius was taken to a village where, afterrecuperating, he was given a job in a monastic-typeestablishment collating manuscripts. Later he wasmoved to an underground cavern lit by a peculiar lightthat aroused his wonder, "illuminating everything,dispelling darkness and shadows so that all appearedvery even and gentle" ("The Saga of Belovodye", ibid.).Later, Sergius was moved to anearby location where he wasaccepted as a brother.

As the months and yearspassed, the Slavic monk gainedgreat spiritual knowledge. Hewas intensely happy that at lasthe had found patient,compassionate, all-seeing wisepeople who worked for thebenefit of mankind. He learnedthat, invisibly, they observedeverything that was takingplace in the outside world andwere concerned about growingforces of evil on Earth. Father Sergius also learned thata number of people from various countries hadendeavoured to enter this domain, but without success.The inhabitants observed a strict law whereby onlyseven persons in a century could visit their abode. Sixwould return to the outside world with secretknowledge, and one would remain to live in Shambhalawithout ageing, for time stood still in the clockwork ofhis genes.

Before his return to Kiev, Father Sergius lived his finalyears teaching wisdom in a cavern system that was laterdeveloped into the Monastery of the Caves. It seemsthat those six people, like Sergius, became outside co-workers of Shambhala, making up a small outer circle ofwisdom-bearers. One, "an associate co-worker of theMahatmas, Brahma Jyoti of Delhi, [had] been inconstant contact with the super-beings in the Himalayaswho manage the world by the power of thought" (AnneMarshall, Hunting the Guru in India, Victor Gollancz Ltd,London, 1963).

It is also said that "over the centuries, small numbersof Tibetan sages [from the Valley of the Immortals?]were responsible for setting up the White MysterySchools of the East and West" (Albert Mackey, MD, A

Concise History of Freemasonry, McClure Publishing,Philadelphia, 1917 ed., "Origins" entry). Enlightenedsouls from Shambhala are considered to be "apostlesfrom the Valley of the Immortals", for those "messengersare directly guided by the Mahatmas and intended for acertain part of the world at a given time in history"(Sergy C. Tatyana, Crimson Snow-heaps in the Himalayas,Lvovich Publishing, Moscow, 1925, translation byLarissa M. Vasiler, p. 97).

According to Tibetan lore, significant records ofShambhala and its inhabitants were once in existence.They were published in several volumes of the Yung-Lota-tien, the largest encyclopaedia in the world, whichpreserved a mass of ancient knowledge including acollection of ancient yeti sightings (yeti means "magicalcreature" in Tibetan). This magnificent tome, compiledin the 15th century, was composed of 50 millionhandwritten Chinese characters bound in 11,095

volumes. Once housed in theYuan Ming Yuan, the OldSummer Palace in Beijing, itmostly perished when thepalace was partially destroyedby British and French forces in1860 during the Second OpiumWar. Today, only 370 volumessurvive, scattered in librariesthroughout the world.

When we see how much hasbeen lost of the culturalheritage of older civilisations,we shouldn't find it hard toimagine that there may have

been many earlier "high" civilisations about which littleis known, Shambhala being one.

Subterranean Vaults in the Himalayas Legends of hidden underground libraries, treasures

and exquisite artefacts connected to Shambhala arepersistently spoken of in Asia and are described assecret storehouses of ancient knowledge. Earliercivilisations saw fit to preserve something of the scienceand arts of cultures then vanishing through naturalcatastrophe or war or for other reasons otherworldly orunfathomable.

Tibetan tradition affirms that "time capsules" andprecious silk-bound volumes are hidden in theinnermost recesses of the "divine" Mt Kangchenjunga,the third highest peak in the Himalayas. NicholasRoerich learned that a stone door leads to what hecalled "the Five Sacred Treasures of the Great Snow",and his guides advised him against attempting to enterinto the chambers "because everything divulged beforethe destined date results in untold harm" (N. K. Roerich,Himalayas – Abode of Light, Nalanda Publications,Bombay, 1947).

In the Altai Mountains, Roerich also learned that the

knowledge, and one wouldremain to live in Shambhala

without ageing, for timestood still in the clockwork

of his genes.

Himalayan foothills have concealed entrances leadingto subterranean passages and chambers deep below thesurface, where mysterious artefacts and exotic treasureshave been stored from the beginning of world history.

Roerich was also told of a secret undergroundstorehouse on the Karakoram Pass in the Himalayas atan elevation of 19,500 feet (5,944 metres). His chiefguide advised him that great treasures were preservedunder the snowy ridge, and he remarked that even thelowly ones among the populace know of vast cavernsthat hold ancient artefacts. He enquired whetherRoerich was aware of books in the outer world thatrecord the location of these subterranean vaults. Thewise old courier had spent years in the mountains andhe questioned Roerich as to why foreigners, who claimto know so much, could not find theobvious entrances to undergroundpalaces on the Karakoram Pass.

During his 12 years in northern Tibetin the mid-1800s, Chinese explorer JiaChun-Pingwa spoke with Buddhistmonks who claimed that in a secludedpart of the Altyn Tagh Ridge thereexists a vast network of undergroundgalleries and museums housing acollection of several millionbreathtaking artefacts, protected byever-watchful caretakers. In hismemoir, Jia wrote about asubterranean museum that holdsmiscellaneous objets d'art depictingthe evolution of mankind on thisplanet over the course ofthousands of years (Jia Chun-Pingwa, The Land of No Grass and NoWater, The Great LiberationPublishing House, Lhasa, Tibet,1917; extracts translated for TonyBushby by Wendy Shin Liu,Jiangwan Town, Shanghai, China,2009). He described the entranceto this particular series ofchambers as being to the left of adeep gorge containing a small cluster of unimpressivehouses that mark the site of what may be the world'sgreatest museum.

Jia was not the only one to have described thiscollection. "It is secure from intrusion, and nothing willdisturb its age-old collected works ... the entrances areconcealed, and vaults with manuscripts and artefacts liedeep within the bowels of the earth" (FundamentalPromises, a Chinese Buddhist manuscript c. 1820, authorunknown; translation by Ti-tzang, 1911, pp. 79-81, passim;original housed in the Library of Tibetan Works andArchives, Dharamsala, India). "A local resident said thatat our bazaar, the people of this area come out withstrange, very ancient money, and nobody could even

remember when such money was in usage here" (SergyC. Tatyana, Crimson Snow-heaps in the Himalayas, op. cit., p.231). Author Andrew Tomas was of the opinion that "allthese secret places are connected with the mystery ofShambhala" (A. Tomas, Shambhala: Oasis of Light, SphereBooks, London, 1977, p. 53).

Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891), theRussian-born traveller and mystic who founded theTheosophical Society in 1875, alluded to the existenceof Shambhala, giving it currency for western enthusiastsof the occult. She claimed that sages of the East are ina position to release to the world ancient documentsthat will upset the opinions of historians. She saw anumber of secret repositories in northern India, andwrote that initiated yogis know of a vast network of

underground libraries that expandsout from cave temples right acrossnorthern Tibet.

Vatican archives preserve rare reportsfrom early-19th-century missionarieswhich record that, in times of crisis,leaders of various countries sentdeputations into the Himalayas to seekadvice from the "Genii in theMountains" (Catholic Encyclopedia, PecciEdition, vol. ii, p. 299). However, thesedocuments do not reveal where therepresentatives went.

An undated manuscript written byMonseigneur Delaplace around120 years ago supports the beliefof sages of Central Asia thatpeople with special knowledgelive in inaccessible and exclusiveparts of the Himalayas (Annales dela Propagation de la Foi, translationby Pierre L. Josselin, 1929; extractcited in A. Tomas, Shambhala, op.cit., p. 28).

The Tibetan epic of GhessarKhan foresaw the opening ofcertain hidden halls of records ata time "when steel ships fly in the

sky", and Madame Blavatsky opined that some hiddenmanuscripts would be subtly and intentionally releasedin "a spiritually richer future" (The Theosophist, July 1912).

Great is the Tibetan belief in an illuminedsubterranean people, who on occasion have been seenwith torches in the dark. Roerich told of "a man of greatappearance who arrived in Tibet from Siberia with hiscaravaneers and proudly stated, 'I shall prove to youthat the tale about the subterranean people is not afantasy. I shall lead you to the entrances of theirsubterranean kingdoms'" (N. K. Roerich, Flame in Chalice,Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York, 1929). Whether ornot he did is not recorded in Roerich's books.

the oceans to the Urals, wondrous traditions of holypeople living in mysterious underground cities exist.And while many pages of the story of man's life on thisplanet have been torn out by the hand of Time, theseancient traditions do attest to the reality of secrettreasures and depositories of rare writings stored inisolation that record knowledge from time immemorial.

The White Pyramid and The Shambhala TriangleIn an attachment to a rare 18th-century Tibetan book

Road to Shambhala (written by the third Panchen Lama[1738–1780], translation by Cheng Yuan, 1901),intriguing references are made to a winged humanoidrace which once lived in Tibet and subsequently"destroyed itself". This same document also records theexistence of numerous pyramidal structures in variouslocations across the Roof of the World, unknown to thewestern world. Some of these edifices are described as"fabulous", and "multicoloured"versions were set amongstdozens of other pyramids (ibid.).

The reality of pyramidalclusters in the Himalayas wasconfirmed in more recenttimes, the first available reportbeing that of American traderFred Meyer Schroder, who in1912 accidentally stumbledupon a giant pyramidsurrounded by smallerstructures. Amazed, he askedhis Buddhist monk-guide whatthey represented and was toldthat 5,000-year-old lamaist documents not only containinformation about the purpose of these pyramids butreveal that they were immensely old when the recordswere written. If this dating were ever confirmed, theHimalayan pyramids would be older than the accepteddating of the Giza pyramids.

Some 33 years later, another remarkable pyramid wassighted that seems to have embarrassed the scholarlyworld. In the northern spring of 1945, US Air Force pilotJames Gaussman was flying an aircraft from China toIndia across Tibet when he was forced to reduce altitudebecause of an engine malfunction. He reportedly said:

I flew around a mountain and then we came to a valley.Directly below us was a gigantic white pyramid. It looked likeit was from a fairy tale. The pyramid was draped inshimmering white. It could have been metal, or a form ofstone. It was white on all sides. What was most curious aboutit was its capstone; a large piece of precious gem-like material.I was deeply moved by the colossal size of the thing.

(Hartwig Hausdorf, Die Weisse Pyramide ["The WhitePyramid"], republished in English as The Chinese

Roswell, New Paradigm Books, Florida, 1998, p. 112)Gaussman believed that this pyramid exceeded 1,000

feet (~305 metres) in height, more than double that of

the Great Pyramid of Giza. Gaussman's photographswere never published, but a black and white picture ofan earthen pyramid near Xian, the capital of China'sShaanxi Province, was presented to the media in 1990as the "gigantic white pyramid" that Gaussmansupposedly photographed 45 years earlier. However,Gaussman's flight path was some 500 miles (805kilometres) northwest of the published pyramid photo,and one suspects that this particular image wasreleased by Chinese authorities to keep the existence ofthe White Pyramid secret from western knowledge.

In 1947, two years after Gaussman's sighting, anotherUS aviator, Maurice Sheahan, flying southwest overShaanxi Province, also espied a gigantic white pyramid.Several US newspapers, including the New York Times (28March 1947), published accounts of his sighting.

In Himalayas – Abode of Light, Roerich spoke of three"frontier posts of Shambhala" that suggest a triangular-

shaped area defining theprecincts of this mysteriouskingdom. The location of theseboundary markers is unknown,but when a triangle is created atthe same angles as the GreatPyramid of Giza in Egypt (51degrees 51 minutes), starting ataround 50 degrees northlatitude and using longitude 88degrees as the western (base)boundary, it intersects withGaussman's 1945 flight pathnear where he sighted thegigantic white pyramid. Using

the southwest continuation of his flight path, thesouthern "frontier post" is determined at its intersectionwith longitude 88 degrees. Within this isolated triangle,some surprising events are known to have happened—and probably the most fascinating is the so-called"Tibetan Roswell".

"The Tibetan Roswell" In the first week of January 1938, a scientific

expedition led by Chinese archaeologist Chi Pu Teipenetrated deep into mountainous regions of Baian-Kara-Ula, somewhere near where the Yangtze andMekong rivers begin their long, meandering coursesouthward. There they discovered a cave system withgraves aligned in parallel rows, undisturbed formillennia. These graves were without headstones orepitaphs, but on the cave walls were drawings of figureswith elongated heads as well as depictions of planets.

Archaeologists excavated the graves and foundskeletons with abnormally large skulls and tiny bodiesless than four feet (1.22 metres) in length. On thecavern floor, half-buried in dust, they found the first of716 strange stone discs, each with a hole in its centreand resembling a long-playing gramophone record.

52 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2009

This same document alsorecords the existence of

numerous pyramidalstructures in various

locations across the Roofof the World, unknown to

the western world.

Each disc was incised with grooves spiralling out to theperimeter which were found to be composed of closelywritten characters that spelled out a message.

Later, in 1962, four scientists led by Japaneseprofessor Tsum Um Nui of Beijing's Academy ofPrehistory announced that they had finally decoded thediscs. They revealed that the discs told of the crashlanding of an alien spacecraft some 12,000 years ago. Itseems that the crew survived, but the craft was toobadly damaged to be able to fly again. Afterencountering numerous difficulties in making thespectacular results public knowledge, Professor TsumUm Nui resigned his position and returned to Japan.However, the scientific community of the Soviet Uniondid not reject his report, and the results of furthertesting using an oscillograph supported Professor TsumUm Nui's dramatic findings.

The Crystal Cave of the Nagas A passage in the opening pages of the Mahabharata

states that this epic was written "in a beautiful valley atthe foot of Mount Meru". That valley is said to beShambhala. It would be fair to conclude that theworld's longest epic was originally written in thescriptoriums of the Immortals and then became thefoundation of major Eastern understandings. Traditionmaintains that Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) andLao Tzu (c. 600 BCE), founder of Taoism, both visitedthe Valley of the Immortals.

The Bon priests of Tibet admit that they received theirfaith from this same stream of philosophy (Baikalmagazine [USSR],no. 3, 1969). TheBon faith, the oldestspiritual tradition inTibet, developedfrom a manuscriptthe priests called"The FirstScripture…the TrueT e a c h i n g … t h etradition is ofE t e r n a lWisdom…that camefrom the 'Immortalsof Shambhala'" (L.C. Hamamoto, TheSoul Doctrine, Lhasa,translation by C.Chan, 1916, pp. 97-99, passim).

Another ancientTibetan book alsohad its origin in theHimalayas. Calledthe Bardo Thodol inTibetan, it is known

in the western world as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and itis traditionally read aloud to dying persons to helpthem attain liberation of the soul after death. Traditionmaintains that this extraordinary writing originated witha race called the Nagas, and lamaist records indicatethat eight members of this race were associated withmeetings with the King of Shambhala. In Tibetanunderstanding, they are noted for their profoundwisdom, and the existence of the Nagas is firmlyestablished in the ancient lore of northern India. It issaid that the Nagas have human faces of great beauty,serpentine body features and the ability to fly when theyemerge from Patala, the Netherworld. Prince Arjuna,Lord Krishna's disciple, is alleged to have visited andconversed with the Nagas. According to tradition, it issaid that they live in the Palace of the Serpents infabulous subterranean abodes illuminated by crystalsand precious stones.

Roerich called one of his paintings The Lake of the Nagas(1932), and another shows a Naga sitting on an island ina northern Tibetan lake east of the Altai Mountains.This locates the Nagas in The Shambhala Triangle.

Some ancient authors claim that the Nagas (male)and Naginis (female) originally "intermarried withhumans, mostly with great kings, queens and sages orhumans of great spirituality" (Iamblichus, On theMysteries, particularly those of the Egyptians, Chaldeans and theAssyrians, fourth century; also referenced in Passport toShambhala, West Siberia Geographical Society, 1923,English translation by Professor Vladimir Andrei Vasiliu,1933, p. 174). It is also said that selected people have

had the privilege of entering the vast caves of the Nagas,connected by tunnels like an anthill, stretchinghundreds of kilometres inside the mountain rangesacross northern India and deep into northern Tibet.

Roerich's paintings total in the hundreds, and someare of locations in Russia, Mongolia, Egypt andelsewhere. There is something mysterious about theway he handles perspectives and atmospheres thatappears to indicate other dimensions and alien ordersof being, or at least gateways or portals leading to such.Those fantastic inscribed stones in lonely upland areas;Lao Tzu on the back of a water buffalo heading west intoan avenue of arched trees; a massive book some twometres thick, lying open with a person standing on atimber block looking down upon its pages; a humanskull of immense size; his subtle depiction of pyramidsin the background of several of his paintings—all ofthese suggest that Roerich was revealing obscureinformation in painted ciphers. Maybe he washonouring the "Oath of Shambhala", that being anagreement forbidding visitors to reveal openly what theysaw or learned while in the Valley of the Immortals(Passport to Shambhala, op. cit., p. 189).

Dead Alien Found Alive!An American drugs and arms dealer, John Spencer, a

resident of China in the years following World War I,inadvertently found himself in a lamaist monastery atTuerin in southwestern Mongolia. He had collapsed ofexhaustion on a mountain track while fleeing authoritiesin China, and was found by monks who took him to theirmonastery to recover. At that same time, the monkswere hosting another visiting American, William

Thompson, a scholar who was studying Far Easternreligious beliefs in their library.

A few days later, the recuperating John Spencer wasexploring external areas of the monastery when he cameupon a set of weather-beaten steps leading down to asmall metal door. He opened it and entered into aspacious, brightly coloured, 12-sided room. The wallswere decorated with drawings of heavenlyconstellations, celestial bodies and zodiac signs. Inwonderment, Spencer ran his hand over the surface of awall, and unexpectedly a nearby panel noiselesslyopened inwards, revealing a dark tunnel beyond. Henoticed a pale green light at a distance, and advancedinto the gloom. After several minutes, Spencer reachedthe end of the tunnel and entered a large cavern,brilliant with an eerie green light. Along the length ofone wall were 30 coffins, neatly laid out side by side in along row. Thinking that they may contain jewellery ortreasure, Spencer started opening the coffins, and in thefirst three he found corpses of monks wearing garbsimilar to that of his monastic helpers.

As Hartwig Hausdorf reported: "In the fourth lay awoman in men's clothing; in the fifth a man who heguessed was from India, and who wore a red silk jacket... in the third-to-last, there lay, perfectly preserved andclothed in white linen, the body of a male; in the next-to-last coffin there rested the body of a female whoseethnic origins he couldn't quite determine" (Die WeissePyramide, republished as The Chinese Roswell, op cit., p. 61,passim). Remarkably, the corpses showed no signs ofdecomposition, and Spencer reasoned that the coffinshad been there a long time.

Failing to find any treasure, Spencer finally reachedthe last coffin and liftedthe lid. To hisamazement, he lookeddown upon a smallcreature dressed inshimmering silverclothing. Its large headwas a silvery colour, withhuge closed eyelids, nomouth and a short stubof a nose. When he bentdown to touch thecorpse, its huge opal-shaped eyes suddenlyopened and glared athim, emitting a piercinggreen light that blindedthe would-be tombrobber.

Spencer slammed thelid shut and ran petrifiedfrom the cavern, tearinghis clothing onprotruding rock walls in

Roerich called this painting Most Sacred (Treasure of the Mountain). In it, he shows hugecrystals dwarfing humans clustered together in the upper left of the picture. © Nicholas Roerich, 1933 (Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York, http://www.roerich.org)

his panic to depart. He re-entered the monasteryproper, and was told by a high-ranking lama that thecreature he saw was an effigy of "a great master who hadcome from the stars" (ibid.). The lama tried to convincehim that he had only imagined that the creature wasalive, but Spencer never doubted the reality of his weirdencounter. Startled, he related his experience to WilliamThompson, who subsequently published details in anAmerican periodical, Adventure, some time after his returnto the USA. A few days later, Spencer left the monasteryand disappeared without trace. He was never heard ofagain.

Russian Scientists View an Ethereal Solar System "In subterranean Tibet," a bearded guide told Roerich in

1928, "many great treasures of Wisdom are buried; whenreleased, one very old cache of scientific artifacts willstun the world" (N. K. Roerich, Flame in Chalice, op. cit.).

In 1870, a Russian delegation of scientific scholarsmay have seen one of thoseartefacts preserved from anearlier epoch. In a Tibetanlamasery near the SacredMountain of Belukha, the groupwas introduced to an aged lamawith a profound knowledge ofastronomy and physics. Thelama selected two members ofthe delegation who were expertin planetary knowledge andinstructed them in Buddhistconcentration techniques andsuggested they adopt avegetarian diet. A few days later, he invited them to hiscell where he introduced them to a strange metallicapparatus.

The mysterious device was positioned on the floorand was emitting an odd, stifled sound. From it, acloudy manifestation appeared that swelled out anddeveloped into a miniature, moving replica of our solarsystem, with Earth, Venus, Mercury and the otherplanets slowly revolving around the Sun. Within thisethereal solar system, the scientists noticed ananomalous feature: a 10th planet orbiting beyond thecircuit of Pluto. The old lama refused to answerquestions about the nature and origin of the pre-holographic solar light machine, but he implied that ithad been "brought up for demonstration" (ThirdPanchen Lama, Road to Shambhala, op. cit.).

The Laboratories of ShambhalaIdeas of an ancient supernatural community anciently

called "the Developers of Mankind", who live in secludedvalleys in mountainous expanses in the uplands ofnorthern Tibet, will doubtlessly seem too fantastic foracceptance by the rational western academic mind.However, an examination of historical evidence

accumulated over centuries from widely separatedcountries demonstrates an essential similarity betweentheir reports. Lamaist chronicles tell of the "culture ofthe Wise Ones, who during long ages have developed acivilisation and a science of their own in the protectiveisolation of the snowy mountain ranges of northernAsia" (Passport to Shambhala, op. cit., Letter 6, p. 11).

Dr George Roerich, elder son of Professor NicholasRoerich and Helena Roerich, examined the validity ofthe Shambhala tradition:

Shambhala is not only considered to be the abode of hiddenBuddhist learning, it is the guiding principle of the comingKalpa, or Cosmic Age [the Age of Shambhala?]. Learnedabbots and meditating lamas are said to be in constantcommunication with this mystic fraternity that guides thedestinies of the world. A Western observer is apt to belittle theimportance of this name or to relegate the voluminousliterature about Shambhala and still vaster oral tradition intothe class of folklore or mythology; but those who have studied

both l iterary and popularBuddhism know the terrific forcethat this name possesses amongthe masses of Buddhists of higherAsia.

(G. N. Roerich, Trails toinmost Asia, Yale University

When all snippets ofinformation about Shambhalaare gathered together, a clearpicture emerges of theexistence of an abode of

superior beings to whom space and time are notobstacles. What adds to our understanding of thereality of the Valley of the Immortals is the availability ofreports of the utmost conviction, recording journeys tothis fabulous place. For instance, Apollonius' journey inthe first century is well documented (as we saw in partone), as is a pilgrimage made by a Chinese surgeon andhis Nepalese yogi guide to Shambhala in the early1920s:

Not long ago in the Shanghai Times, and subsequently inmany other newspapers, an extensive article appeared signedby Dr Lao-Tsin, telling of his journey to the Valley ofShambhala. In a vital narrative, Dr Lao-Tsin tells manydetails of his difficult journey with a Nepalese yogi throughMongolian deserts and severe uplands to the Valley where hefound an abode of numerous yogis studying the HighWisdom. His description of the laboratories and also of thefamous tower are surprisingly analogous to the description ofthe remarkable places in other sources. He told of manyscientific wonders and of complex experiments in will-powerand telepathy, conducted over very great distances.

From it, a cloudymanifestation appeared

that swelled out anddeveloped into a miniature,

moving replica of our solar system...

Two men in the 19thcentury also reachedthe utopia and residedthere temporarily. Ontheir return, theydescribed wondersabout the mysteriouscolony, but "of stillother wonders theywere not permitted tospeak" (N. K. Roerich,Heart of Asia, op. cit.).

This inaudibility isresponsible for thedifficulty in finding thefull truth aboutShambhala, and it isfurther handicappedby the unwillingness oflamaist sages todiscuss the mysterythat is one of the mostsacred traditions ofesoteric Buddhism.Some reports say thatpeople who have beento Shambhala couldhave said more aboutthe achievements of the dwellers if not for the Oath ofShambhala that they had been requested to take.

However, from something that Roerich wrote, it seemsthat both he and his son George visited Shambhala, andwhat he said reminds us of a comment made byMahatma Morya (referred to in part one of this article).He called Shambhala the City of Science, and in relationto his comment it is interesting to note that an esotericscience of the East speaks of a collision of Kamaduro, asubterranean fire, with the Cosmic Fire, which can createdevastating geological cataclysms if the two are notbalanced. The Roerichs claim to have seen instrumentsfor measuring the pressure of these fires "in one of thelaboratories of Shambhala" (N. K. Roerich, Heart of Asia,op. cit.; cited in A. Tomas, Shambhala, op. cit., p. 51).

ConclusionThrough the immense spaces of Central Asia, many

wanderers preserved their impressions of Shambhala,and the abode has been reached by worthy seekers ofTruth, people devoid of selfish motives. Traditions ofTibet impart that at Shambhala, music from invisibleinstruments can be heard in the air and one can drinkthe elixir of youth at the Fountain of Eternal Life. TheJade Tower has dancing goddesses carved on its externalwalls, and the palace complex of the king has itswindows framed with lapis lazuli and its roof coveredwith Jambu gold. Modern explorers like Hausdorf,Prjevalsky, Ossendowski, David-Néel, Tomas and the

Roerichs wrote of the widespread tradition ofShambhala and its cosmic culture that they foundduring their years in Asia. The thesis of an exotic,hidden community of perfect beings guiding mankind'sevolution does not belong in the realm of speculation,and may be shown to be true if the Ruler of Shambhalaemerges to destroy the "Hordes of Darkness" and heraldin the much prophesied "Age of Shambhala" (Dr G. N.Roerich, Trails to inmost Asia, op. cit.). Maybe we shouldconsider the possibility that the illumined peoples ofShambhala, on behalf of a Divine Government, aretelepathically communicating with us through ourdreams and intuition and through our psychics,providing inner guidance for the decisions and choiceswe have to make in this critical epoch. ∞

As the year 2012—that now much-discussed epicentre of prophecy—approaches to excite, terrify or disappoint as it may, anything with theremotest paranormal flavour is now being apportioned great

significance, accurately or not. The ever-enduring crop circles, however,which have made several direct symbolic references to the celebrated timecycle, do stand out as true "signs of the times" with this in mind. In 2009there was certainly no let-up in England from the still elusive circlemakers,determined as ever to impress their work upon the public consciousness.This year's circle season will be remembered as a fevered and imaginativeone in the UK fields, especially in the earlier part of the summer, while theglobal picture remained comparatively muted. It seems that thephenomenon is continuing to draw specific attention to the ancient andmysterious heartlands of the Avebury area in Wiltshire, where yet again thevast majority of activity took place this year.

A Busy Early SummerJuly and early August are traditionally the liveliest months for English crop

glyphs, with a quieter preceding period, but 2009 saw a burst of activitywhich began on 14 April with a striking symbol of radiating semi-arcs nearAvebury and maintained a notable momentum from thereon. April saw fiveother generally advanced designs in oilseed rape (canola), while May,unusually, delivered nine major formations—including the longest everfound in rapeseed crop (over 600 feet or ~183 metres in length), discoveredat Clatford, Wiltshire, on 4 May. The month culminated in the appearance ofa huge "jellyfish" at Wayland's Smithy in Oxfordshire on 29 May, approaching1,000 feet (~305 metres) in length. This striking aquatic symbol found itsway into several national newspapers and seemed to spark a burst of mediaactivity around the formations all summer, which saw the Wiltshire fieldsjostling with camera crews and journalists from around the world.

"Life-form" designs continued as one of the big themes of the year, causingcontroversy amongst those less comfortable with the authenticity of overtpictorial content but giving delight to others more inspired by directiconography. As well as the ubiquitous mandala-type formations, the fieldsof June and July saw everything from fish to dragonflies, from trilobites toswallows. Indeed, bird symbolism produced two of the most stunningemblems of the year: a massive, stylised "phoenix" that arrived on 12 June atYatesbury, Wiltshire, complete with licks of flame around its tail feathers;and a shimmering hummingbird that appeared at Milk Hill on 2 July, a littlereminiscent of the Nazca design of Peru, its shape strikingly delineated bythin standing walls of crop set against a flattened backdrop (this design wasclaimed to have been made for a television program, but evidence had notbeen presented by the time of writing and most such claims remainunsubstantiated).

Another notable feature of at least three formations in2009 was a tendency for them to grow over a series ofnights. This had occurred in previous seasons, but amajor example was revealed at Milk Hill, Wiltshire, on 21,23 and 30 June, when a bizarre and entirely ambiguouspictogram performed a three-stage trick, climaxing withthe final addition of a colossal tail, hundreds of feetlong, comprising a mysterious "code" of rectangularblocks and angular squiggles. The code was immediatelydubbed "Mayan" by some, without foundation; but, withthe 2012 Maya calendar mindset to the fore, there is atendency for some circle enthusiasts to pronounceanything remotely resembling ancient script as beingMayan. A highly detailed design found opposite SilburyHill on 5 July was more deserving of the tag. The samecode from Milk Hill was also incorporated into aformation at Alton Priors on 27 June, with the slightlysinister addition of a "Grey" ET face subtly etched intothe lay of the oval at its end.

Farmers versus CroppiesAnother formation that grew in stages lay opposite the

famous Avebury stone avenue, but seemed to do so indefiance of the farmer's attempt to erase it. The initialintricate mandala that appeared on 17 June was cutdown as part of the now-growing agricultural campaignto dissuade unwanted visitors to the fields by destroyingpatterns as soon as they appear. A number of wonderfulglyphs were lost this way in 2009, with some barely beingphotographed before vanishing under the farmer'sblades. However, on 18 and 19 June, the avenue designtook its revenge by growing a further two stages of circlesand tails around the desecrated centre, and a newversion of its original configuration reappeared at WadenHill on 1 July. The phenomenon clearly wasn't going tobe put off so easily.

The wilful destruction of circle lays was particularlytragic this year because so many designs exhibitedextraordinarily complex stem weaves with wonderfullysculpted elements that were art-forms in themselves atclose quarters, such as the inside of a bubble-likepattern found near Silbury Hill on 3 August.

The angst of farmers, keen not to lose revenue, isunderstandable, of course. Things were not helped whenlocal thieves broke into a robust "honesty box" left nearone formation—an action hardly likely to encourage thefew farmers left who do accept visitors into their fields.

Things came to a head very publicly on 15 July, whenan overzealous guard, hired to keep people out of a field,fired a shotgun over the heads of a group of Norwegianvisitors. The police were called and an arrest wasmade—a moment photographed and splashed acrossthe media—but no charges were pressed beyond acaution. The general attitude of the public was thatthose entering private property deserved everything theygot. Being shot at seems a little drastic, however, and

the event marked a new level of hostility to souls alsounderstandably drawn to witness one of the keymysteries of our times. Some new peace initiative maybe needed to bridge the "croppies" and the farmingcommunity, although past efforts, disappointingly, havefailed.

A Quieter CloseBeyond the scandal of the surrounding circus, July and

August produced further impressive entries including amassive and beautiful six-armed starfish-like formationon 19 July at Martinsell Hill, Wiltshire, whichdistinguished itself, through accident or design, byhaving two of its arms truncated by its odd proximity tothe field perimeter.

By August, though, in contrast to the previous seasonwhich stayed strong for longer, the rolling momentumand symbolic ingenuity of early summer had notably calmed into a few pleasant but less distinctive efforts,

with the exception of an interesting astronomical-looking configuration at Windmill Hill, Wiltshire, on 6August. Two detailed and attractive mandalas seemedto mark the end of the main season, on 12 August atWayland's Smithy and on 16 August at Tidcombe,Wiltshire. However, 29 August saw a new and largepattern in maize, once again at Wayland's Smithy. As2008 saw a burst of September activity in maize fields,the circle phenomenon may yet have some latesurprises in store this time around.

The Strangeness DeepensEarlier in this piece I used the word "authenticity".

But what does this mean in the context of aphenomenon that no-one, after all these years, has evermanaged to suss in terms of defining the source?Claimed litmus tests come and go as regularly as hoaxassertions, yet no-one seems any the wiser as to what isreally going on.

An American camera crew who settled into Wiltshirefor the whole season and conducted night watches andexperiments, but also went out to film known humancirclemakers at work, admitted that they honestlybelieved that by the end of the summer they would havenailed what was really going on, one way or the other.Instead, like others before them, they were astonishedto find only ever-deeper layers of confusion and mystery.Despite various enthusiasts this year having taken manyvideos showing orbs, spheres and cigar-like objectsflying over the Wiltshire fields, the crew didn't manageto film a formation arriving (the holy grail of circleresearch), but neither, after numerous watches withnight-sight cameras in areas where new formations didappear, did they witness hordes of people wanderingaround with planks of wood. As such, they realised thatsomething beyond mundane explanation was going on.

Barnes on 14 July—the night that a two-armed "basket-woven" circle arrived there—did, however, manage tocapture something of interest. In the footage taken inthe very early hours of the morning, two bright flashesare seen to occur in the field, resulting in the apparentinstant materialisation of two large and amorphous darkblobs. Then, the clearer figures of what seem to bepeople apparently start to arrive in the field, and thenew formation can be seen as the light comes up. Thisfootage is being promoted in certain quarters to supportthe suggestion that some sort of co-creation processmay be going on: "shadow" entities controlling humansto create patterns they wouldn't otherwise be capable ofmaking.

Yet, as the American camera crew found, this yearthere were also many tales of groups sitting very closeto fields where new formations were discovered as thedawn arrived—with absolutely nothing having beenseen or heard all night, suggesting an entire absence ofcommon-or-garden plankers. Indeed, a triple circledesign at West Overton on 9 August seems to have

appeared in daylight hours (like many before it), withclaims that it wasn't there at first light, although it hadarrived by 10.45 am when it was spotted by aerialphotographer Lucy Pringle.

And so the mystery only deepens further—and with itthe interest, which refuses to go away despite all thesceptical propaganda continually fed to the public.

The Global PictureThe crop circle phenomenon, while still essentially

focusing on England, with 71 events (to date) this year,tipped the hat to other countries by continuing its usual50 or so reported global events. Germany produced themost out of all the other nations, albeit with just 10patterns, the best being a very neat double-spiralrecorded at Barterode in Lower Saxony on 12 July. Italyin recent years has been a keen contender, too, but in2009 produced only seven designs, although the verybeautiful 12-fold mandala at Cascina Martina in Torino

on 20 June would have sat quite happily with some of itsUK counterparts. While just single formations werereported in the likes of Poland, Switzerland and theUSA, Belgium with four events and The Netherlandswith six were the only other countries to show signs ofsignificant activity.

Indeed, the most distinctive product of the Dutchfields was a man-made effort created to mark the 200thanniversary of the artistic Royal WilhelminapolderSociety. This impressive hybrid of butterfly and daVinci's "Vitruvian Man" was a curious synchronicity,given the cerealogical fuss made this summer over thecontroversial web postings of an enigmatic characterknown as "Mothman", later revealed to be a well-knowncircles researcher. The huge creation, covering nearly anentire field, reportedly took 55 people two days to makeover 6–7 August.

Some were disappointed to hear it was man-made(and some have challenged the claim). But at the sametime, given that many large formations have arrivedwithin very short periods over the years with nosightings of the likes of 55 people crashing around thefields, exercises like this usefully demonstrate what anextraordinary unexplained phenomenon we do still havein the shape of the masterpieces which continue toarrive under circumstances that so often defy suchexplanations. However many formations may be man-made, there is always a significant proportion that (likebutterflies) cannot and should not be pinned down thatway.

As ever, 2009 had its fair share of excitement, heateddebates and amazing glyphs; but the continued boom ofUK circle numbers, in contrast to the global picture,increasingly suggests that the anticipated grand eventsof the next few years will see England, for whateverreason, at the heart of it all (as I have alluded tobefore)—especially with the impending Olympics due tofocus ever more attention here in the run-up to thesummer of 2012...

THE LAST PROPHECY OF PETER DEUNOV

Also known under the spiritual name ofBeinsa Douno, the Bulgarian Master PeterDeunov (1864–1944) was considered abeing of a very high level of consciousness aswell as an incomparable musician. Duringhis whole life he was an example of purity,wisdom, intelligence and creativity.

Some days before his departure to theother world, while in a profoundmediumistic trance he made anextraordinary prophecy about our troubledepoch, about the "end of time" and thecoming of a new Golden Age of humanity.

— Michael Brine

During the passage of time, theconsciousness of man hastraversed a very long period of

obscurity. This phase, which theHindus call Kali Yuga, is on the vergeof ending. We find ourselves todayat the frontier between two epochs:the Kali Yuga and the New Era weare entering.

A gradual improvement is alreadyoccurring in the thoughts, sentimentsand acts of humans, but everybody willsoon be subjugated to Divine Fire thatwill purify and prepare them in regardto the New Era. Thus man will raise

himself to a superior degree ofconsciousness, indispensable to hisentrance to the New Life. That is whatone understands by Ascension.

Some decades will pass before thisFire will come that will transform theworld by bringing it a new moral. Thisimmense wave comes from cosmicspace and will inundate the entireEarth. All those that attempt to opposeit will be carried off and transferredelsewhere.

Although the inhabitants of thisplanet do not all find themselves at thesame degree of evolution, the newwave will be felt by each one of us. Thistransformation will not only touch theEarth but the entire Cosmos.

The best and only thing that man cando now is turn towards God andimprove himself consciously to elevatehis vibratory level so as to find himselfin harmony with the powerful wave thatwill soon submerge him.

The Fire of which I speak, thataccompanies the new conditionsoffered to our planet, will rejuvenate,purify, reconstruct everything: matterwill be refined; your hearts will beliberated from anguish, troubles,incertitude, and they will becomeluminous; everything will be improved,

elevated; the thoughts, sentiments andnegative acts will be consumed anddestroyed.

Your present life is slavery, a heavyprison. Understand your situation andliberate yourself from it. I tell you this:exit from your prison! It is really a sorrysight to see so much misleading, somuch suffering, so much incapacity tounderstand where one's true happinesslies.

Everything that is around you willsoon collapse and disappear. Nothingwill be left of this civilisation or itsperversity. The entire Earth will beshaken and no trace will be left of thiserroneous culture that maintains menunder the yoke of ignorance.Earthquakes are not only mechanicalphenomena: their goal is also toawaken the intellect and the heart ofhumans so that they liberatethemselves from their errors and theirfollies and understand that they are notthe only ones in the Universe.

Our solar system is now traversing aregion of the Cosmos where aconstellation that was destroyed hasleft its mark, its dust. This crossing of acontaminated space is a source ofpoisoning, not only for the inhabitantsof the Earth but for all the inhabitants

OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2009 www.nexusmagazine.com NEXUS • 67

of the other planets of our galaxy. Onlythe suns are not affected by theinfluence of this hostile environment.This region is called "the thirteenthzone"; one also calls it "the zone ofcontradictions". Our planet wasenclosed in this region for thousands ofyears, but finally we are approachingthe exit of this space of darkness andwe are on the point of attaining a morespiritual region where more evolvedbeings live.

The Earth is now following anascending movement and everyoneshould force themselves to harmonisewith the currents of the Ascension.Those who refuse to subjugatethemselves to this orientation will losethe advantage of good conditions thatare offered in the future to elevatethemselves. They will remain behind inevolution and must wait tens ofmillions of years for the coming of anew ascending wave.

The Earth, the solar system, theUniverse—all are being put in a newdirection under the impulsion of Love.Most of you still consider Love as aderisory force, but in reality it is thegreatest of all forces! Money andpower continue to be venerated as ifthe course of your life depended uponit. In the future, all will be subjugatedto Love and all will serve it. But it isthrough suffering and difficulties thatthe consciousness of man will beawakened.

The terrible predictions of theprophet Daniel written in the Biblerelate to the epoch that is opening.There will be floods, hurricanes,gigantic fires and earthquakes that willsweep away everything. Blood will flowin abundance. There will berevolutions; terrible explosions willresound in numerous regions of theEarth. Where there is earth, water willcome, and where there is water, earthwill come. God is Love, yet we aredealing here with a chastisement, areply by Nature against the crimesperpetrated by man since the night oftime against his Mother, the Earth.

After these sufferings, those that willbe saved, the elite, will know theGolden Age, harmony and unlimitedbeauty. Thus keep your peace and yourfaith when the time comes for sufferingand terror, because it is written that nota hair will fall from the head of the just.Don't be discouraged; simply followyour work of personal perfection.

The New Era of the Sixth RaceYou have no idea of the grandiose

future that awaits you. A New Earthwill soon see day. In a few decades, thework will be less exacting and each one

will have the time to consecratespiritual, intellectual and artisticactivities. The question of rapportbetween man and woman will be finallyresolved in harmony, each one havingthe possibility of following theiraspirations. The relations of coupleswill be founded on reciprocal respectand esteem.

Humans will voyage through thedifferent planes of space and breakthrough intergalactic space. They willstudy their functioning and will rapidlybe able to know the Divine World, tofuse with the Head of the Universe.

The New Era is that of the sixth race.Your predestination is to prepareyourself for it, to welcome it and to liveit. The sixth race will build itself aroundthe idea of Fraternity. There will be nomore conflicts of personal interests:the single aspiration of each one will beto conform to the Law of Love. Thesixth race will be that of Love. A newcontinent will be formed for it. It willemerge from the Pacific, so that theMost High can finally establish His

place on this planet. The founders of this new civilisation I

call Brothers of Humanity and Childrenof Love. They will be unshakeable forthe good and they will represent a newtype of men. Men will form a family, asa large body, and each people willrepresent an organ in this body. In thenew race, Love will manifest in such aperfect manner that today's man canonly have a very vague idea.

The Earth will remain a terrainfavourable to struggle, but the forces ofdarkness will retreat and the Earth willbe liberated from them. Humansseeing that there is no other path willengage themselves to the path of theNew Life, that of salvation. In theirsenseless pride, some will, to the end,hope to continue on Earth a life thatthe Divine Order condemns, but eachone will finish by understanding thatthe direction of the world doesn'tbelong to them.

A new culture will see the light of day.It will rest on three principalfoundations: the elevation of woman,the elevation of the meek and humble,and the protection of the rights of man.

The light, the good and justice willtriumph; it is just a question of time.The religions should be purified. Eachcontains a particle of the Teaching ofthe Masters of Light, but is obscured bythe incessant supply of humandeviation. All the believers will have tounite and put themselves in agreementwith one principle, that of placing Loveas the base of all belief, whatever it maybe. Love and Fraternity, that is thecommon base!

The Earth will soon be swept byextraordinary, rapid waves of CosmicElectricity. A few decades from now,beings who are bad and lead othersastray will not be able to support theirintensity. They will thus be absorbedby Cosmic Fire that will consume thebad that they possess. Then they willrepent because it is written that "eachflesh shall glorify God".

WEATHER WARFAREThe Military's Plan to Draft

Mother Nature

by Jerry E. Smith

This follow-up to Jerry E. Smith's HAARP: THE ULTIMATEWEAPON covers the 130-year history of military, scientific and

commercial efforts at controlling Mother Nature. The furor over cloudseeding above the Ho Chi Min Trail during the Viet Nam War lead to a1978 UN treaty banning the use of all environmental processes(weather, earthquakes, tidal waves, etc.) as weapons of war. Aftersigning that treaty US research allocations dropped from $140 milliona year to zero - did Uncle Sam really abandon this research, or did thewhole program go "black"?

PERPETUAL MOTIONThe History of an

Obsession

by Arthur W.J.G. Ord-Hume

Make a machine which gives out more work than the energyyou put into it and you have perpetual motion. The

deceptively simple task of making a mechanism which wouldturn forever fascinated many an inventor and a number offamous men and physicists applied themselves to the task. Theirquest for perpetual motion in some cases became an obsession.In this book, a present-day engineer looks back over centuries ofeffort and frustration, and finds that the perpetual motionseekers played an important part in the history of engineering—without their early experiments the science of mechanics wouldnot have developed so rapidly. He also finds that the fascinationof the subject is not quite dead.

CROP CIRCLES: The Bones of God by Michael GlickmanFrog Books, Berkeley, CA, USA, 2009ISBN 978-1-58394-228-4 (139pp tpb)Available: northatlanticbooks.com

Architect Michael Glickmandissects the geometry and

mathematics of crop circles in thisfollow-up to his 2007 Cornographycompilation (see review, 14/06). Hiscoverage starts with the famous AltonBarnes "agriglyph" of 1990, whichheralded a change from the circulardesigns observed up till then todesigns of increasing size, complexityand beauty—and not just circular inshape, although the name "cropcircles" had already stuck by then.

The crop circles are an affront to ourworldview, Glickman says, and hedespairs that science, art, academiaand the media have not embracedtheir sheer mystery and beauty,where no one design is repeated inthe fields year after year. He is atodds with those who so glibly decrythe precision encompassed in theseever-evolving designs.

This journey takes in key years rightup to 2008, with the Barbury Castleformation showing a representation

of the solar system at the 2012solstice—a significant date for thosefocused on dimensional shift and thestart of a new world in accordancewith the Mayan calendar. Sacredgeometry, DNA helical and fractalforms, serendipitous experiences,psychic manifestations and parallelrealities are all part of Glickman'sinsightful view into this constantlyastonishing phenomenon.

After nearly two decades ofinvestigation, Glickman can't helpbut conclude there is "an as-yet-unknown non-earthly intelligence orcivilization" behind it all.

THE NEW CIRCLEMAKERSby Andrew Collins4th Dimension Press, Virginia Beach,VA, 2009 (first pub. ABC Books, 1992)ISBN 978-0-87604-549-7 (261pp tpb)Available: 4thDimensionPress.com

In preparing this new edition of his1992 book, Andrew Collins reflected

on the crop circle phenomenon in theensuing 17 years. He is amazed at itsprogress and how his own views havechanged. He excuses himself for thefreshness and naivety he exhibitedback then, but wonders why the morecommon perception these daysamongst crop circle devotees is tofear pronouncing a hoaxed formationas meaningful. So, it's time to revisit

what made the crop circle subject soinnovative and inspirational, he says.

Collins takes us back to the time ofsome legendary early crop formations(e.g., Barbury Castle, 1991) andcovers the phenomenon's "lowestever point" with the Doug and Daveplanking hoaxes. In this new edition(illustrated with a centre section ofcolour plates), he adds far-reachingnew material and contemplates ideasto do with the fifth dimension,plasma life and ET intelligence.

His 1992 book was also a prelude tohis full-time writing career, which hasproduced such works as From the Ashesof Angels and Gods of Eden (see 4/01and 5/04). Collins acknowledges thatthe circle phenomenon doesn't seemto be going away, and he offers waysfor us to commune with it.

HEALING OUR HORMONES,HEALING OUR LIVESby Linda CrockettO Books, Hants., UK, 2009ISBN 978-1-84694-168-9 (227pp tpb)Available: www.o-books.net

UK-based holistic practitionerLinda Crockett has been treating

women's hormonal problems for thelast 10 years. Her approach takes inemotional and spiritual dimensions,not just physical. She offers "soul-utions" to a variety of commonhormonal complaints, from PMT tomenopausal changes, as well asrelated issues like candida infestationand insulin resistance.

Crockett considers that at the heartof hormonal flux are emotional stressfactors that can include lovelessness,

criticism, loneliness, loss, sexualabuse and more. These traumaschange the body's chemistry; thewounds become embedded in theunconscious mind, and hormonalimbalance is a manifestation of thesenegative beliefs. The way to self-healing involves understanding theendocrine system and each of itshormones, the energy of emotionsand the wisdom of the spirit, and shegives plenty of facts and inspirationthroughout her book.

Crockett utilises herbal andnutritional therapies to treat specifichealth conditions and provides tools,including meditation, visualisationand hands-on practices, for spiritualhealing. There's a wealth ofactionable information in herrefreshing and accessible book.

The prehistory of Australia and itsgeographical region is a

controversial subject. Here, theauthors (Prof. Tuniz, a geochronologyexpert; Dr Gillespie, an authority onbone-dating; Ms Jones, a sciencejournalist) discuss cross-disciplinaryscientific developments against abackdrop of the politics andpersonalities involved, both inAustralia and abroad.

In the first section, Landfall, theyexamine findings on dating thearrival and presence of Aboriginalpeople in Australia, and show howstudies of strata and tree rings aswell as different dating techniquesare fine-tuning our understanding butare often still coming up withdivergent explanations. Next, inExtinction, they dwell on the vexedissue of the demise of Australia'smegafauna and what part theindigenous people may have playedin it. They also consider the role ofasteroid and comet impacts. Finally,in Origins, they cover the "gene wars",arguments about human evolutionand mitochondrial DNA, the

discovery of the tiny "Hobbit" specieson Flores, and comparisons betweenmodern man and Neanderthals.

The Bone Readers is a fascinatingsummary of some of the greatquandaries of our time, interspersedwith revelations that heated debateand mud-slinging are part and parcelof the progress of science.

When this book was firstpublished in the UK in 1978, it

did much to make the internationalaudience aware of the appallingtreatment Australia's Aborigines havebeen subjected to since thebeginning of British colonisation 200years before (and indeed, since theDutch tried to set up a mine in 1606).The 1981 Australian edition as well asa film raised awareness at home.

Author Jan Roberts (Glitter & Greed,16/05) has now republished Massacresto Mining with new forewords. In hers,she makes it clear that from 1996 theHoward Liberal government went outof its way to try to "claw back" thenative title rights won by Aboriginalgroups in 1992 in the High Court.

With the Rudd Labor government'sapology to the original landownersand the Stolen Generations in 2008,there's hope that the wrongs of thepast are being righted, but there's along way to go, especially whenuranium mining companies are stilltrying to desecrate native lands anddecimate their peoples.

For her landmark book, Robertsdelved into historical records andlived and worked with Aboriginaltribal groups to get a perspective onwaves of invasion by colonists,missionaries, pastoralists, minersand foresters. This is a story ofgenocide, racism, rape, pillage,discrimination, poverty, disease,betrayal and the dispossession of abeautiful people intricately linked totheir land and the spirit world.

REVIEWSWHEN JESUS LIVED IN INDIA by Alan JacobsWatkins Publishing, London, 2009 ISBN 978-1-906787-17-2 (216pp tpb)Available: watkinspublishing.co.uk

The idea that Jesus Christ spent 18"missing years" from the age of 12

in India and Tibet is supported byHindu and Buddhist sacred texts,says author and mystic Alan Jacobs.There is also evidence that Jesussurvived the crucifixion and spent hisfinal days in Kashmir, eventuallybeing buried in a tomb in Srinigar,but such a notion is firmly rejectedby orthodox Christianity because itdenies the resurrection doctrine.

Informing Jacobs are a number ofworks including: Russian explorerNikolai Notovitch's The Unknown Life ofJesus Christ, sparked by his 1887 visitto a Buddhist monastery in Ladakhwhere an ancient manuscript aboutthe prophet Issa's (Jesus') visit toTibet was translated for him; TheAquarian Gospel, channelled to Dr LeviDowling and first published in 1908;and German religious scholar DrHolger Kersten's Jesus Lived in India(see review, 2/24). Jacobs alsoconsiders alternative theories thatJesus spent his missing years in thecompany of spiritual groups like theEssenes, Therapeutae and Gnostics.

Jacobs leaves readers to decide onthe truth of these claims. Regardlessof one's stance, there is muchwisdom to be found in these pages.

To understand Afghanistan's tragiccircumstances, this well-

documented book by journalists PaulFitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould isessential reading. The team hasbeen reporting and lecturing onAfghanistan's plight since 1981 whenthey visited the country for the firsttime during the Soviet occupation toproduce their documentary,

Afghanistan Between Three Worlds. The authors start by examining the

early history of this country, a cradleof civilisation that has had more thanits share of invasions from foreignforces, including British imperialistswho ramped up opium production toboost its own coffers. Afghanistanhas always been a strategic territoryto these outside forces playing "TheGreat Game". They have a lengthychapter on Cold War foreign policywhich heralded the US role in theongoing battle for Afghanistan.

In the next section, covering the1970s (when women had equalrights) to 2001, the authors analysethe role of America's right-wing neo-con "Team-B" with its aggressive anti-Soviet stance, CIA manipulation, theSoviet invasion and defeat, a newdecade of dangers and the rise of thePakistani-formed, Saudi-fundedTaliban. In the final section, 2001 to2008, they begin with the Taliban'slooting of the Kabul Museum anddestruction of the sixth-centuryBamiyan Buddhas. All the Americanneocons needed to wage the nextphase in their geopolitical war was apretext to invade, and that camesoon after the 9/11 attacks when theysent their forces to depose theTaliban and root out bin Laden.

The authors urge US leaders tolearn from the Soviet experience andadjust their policies to help theAfghan people regain theirindependence, especially fromforeign-supported extremism, beforeit is too late. Engaging reportage.

For decades, de Ruiter has beeninvestigating the super-wealthy elitefamilies ("the 13 Satanic bloodlines")and international monopolists thatoperate under the guise of globalpolitics and have catastrophic plansto subjugate humanity under a OneWorld Government and gain totalgeopolitical supranational control.He has many inside contacts who arehelping him expand his research.

In making use of pronouncementsfrom high-level figures going backover a century, de Ruiter has nodoubt about what the elite globalcabal has always had in mind for thepeople. In his chapter on the massmedia, he shows images of publicfigures—"Illuminati" initiates—usingcryptic gestures to send urgent,secret messages to their higher-upsthrough the media. This is materialto excite conspiracy theorists andincite their detractors.

The scope encompasses a OneWorld Financial System, high-techmicrochip implants, populationreduction schemes, concentrationcamps, 9/11, a crusade against Islam,weather modification, mind control,bizarre Satanic rituals and more.

The "revolution in military affairs" isin full swing as the American

Empire implements its strategy for"full-spectrum dominance", says F.William Engdahl in his hard-hittingnew book. Author of A Century of Warand Seeds of Destruction, Engdahlargues that the Pentagon, togetherwith the military-industrial complexand the oil industry, are on a path tocontain Russia and China as well assmaller resource-rich states in a bidfor its own geopolitical and economicdomination that could well lead todiabolical nuclear war.

Engdahl examines events of the lastfew decades within a larger historical-geopolitical context and points outthe extreme dangers for the future.He observes that, so far, the newregime under President Obama is notbringing the much-hoped-for changebut is conducting business asusual—seen in the first instance withincreased US military commitment inAfghanistan. Washington'sobsession with implementing amissile defence system within firingrange of Russia is one major stickingpoint, as is its desire to controlnations by fomenting revolutions andweaponising human rights. Analysedare strategies enacted in Georgia,Darfur, Myanmar, Kosovo, Venezuelaand more. And if it's not enough forthe military cabal to control foreignterritory, it already has plans in placeto subjugate America's own citizensand democratic institutions.

This is a scary discourse thatsuggests we're on a permanentmilitary and economic war footing onthe road to a New World Order.

These beneficent bringers ofknowledge are described in almost every indigenous culture, and thesimilarities in the accounts cannot be reasonably overlooked.Witkowski brings a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem,comparing archeological discoveries, ethnological relations, historicaldocuments, linguistics and even the achievements of genetic research.

The Lost Science ofThe Lost Science ofMeasuring the EarthMeasuring the Earth

by Robin Heath and John Michell

Precision Geodetic Science -- from the Stone Age!! Two of themost experienced researchers into prehistoric culture have madea remarkable breakthrough in understanding the system bywhich prehistoric monuments were designed and placed on thelandscape. This system, a precision geodetic science, enabled themegalith builders to mark out vast geometric shapes across thelandscape. At key points, they erected their magnificent stonetemples and markers, whose dimensions and locations encodedtheir knowledge of the Earth and sky. Long trackways, stonerows, stone circles, standing stones and huge earthworks--mon-uments dating back well over four thousand years--have held onto their secrets despite centuries of investigation.

Ancient Sacred GeometryAncient Sacred Geometry

So we appear to be living in a sea ofuntapped energy. More importantly,the energy does not seem to be usedup because it may just betransforming itself from one form toanother and back again. Energy in thiscase is never dissipated or used up.

Years ago, Austrian-born NASAengineer Josef Blumrich, who workedon the Saturn V rocket, detailed howEzekiel's chariot experience could havebeen about a high-frequency vehiclethat took Ezekiel into new realms ofexperience (The Spaceships of Ezekiel,1974).

Humanity's ReawakeningClearly, we must prepare ourselves

for greater realities and insightsheaded our way. Whether they be thenuts and bolts of small spaceships,mother ships, grandmother ships orlarge city-like bio-satellites, we believethat these higher realities will soonmake themselves known.

In fact, in many ways they arealready doing just that.

The larger question we must askourselves is: "Are we truly prepared forthe nature of the civilisations that usesuch advanced technologies?"

The last 30 years have brought to usvast amounts of information andknowledge about how we can moveinto the 21st century as Earth Humansreclaiming our rights as CosmicCitizens.

Are we now finally psychologicallyand socially prepared to grasp andutilise these technologies for the goodof humanity—or are the continuingpower struggles of the past going tolimit us constantly and control ourfuture destiny? ∞

THE COSMIC WARInterplanetary Warfare,

Modern Physics andAncient Texts

by Joseph P. Farrell

Physicist Joseph Farrell's amazing book on ancient interplanetarywarfare! There is ample evidence across our solar system of

cataclysmic and catastrophic destruction events. The asteroid belt,for example, may be the remains of an exploded planet! Theknown planets are scarred from incredible impacts, and teeter intheir orbits due to causes heretofore inadequately explained.Rejecting the naturalist and materialist assumptions ofcatastrophism forwarded by other researchers, Farrell asserts thatit is time to take the ancient myths of a Cosmic War in the heavensseriously. Farrell maintains that an ancient interplanetary war wasfought in our own solar system with weapons of extraordinarypower and sophistication.

Our Mother, the Earth, will get rid ofmen that don't accept the New Life.She will reject them like damaged fruit.They, criminals included, will soon notbe able to reincarnate on this planet.Only those that possess Love in themwill remain.

There is not any place on Earth thatis not dirtied with human or animalblood; she must therefore submit to apurification. And it is for this thatcertain continents will be immersedwhile others will surface.

Men do not suspect what dangersthey are menaced by. They continue topursue futile objectives and seekpleasure. On the contrary, those of thesixth race will be conscious of thedignity of their role and respectful ofeach one's liberty. They will nourishthemselves exclusively from productsof the vegetal realm. Their ideas willhave the power to circulate freely as theair and light of our days. The words "Ifyou are not born again" apply to the

sixth race. Read chapter 60 of Isaiah: itrelates to the coming of the sixth race,the Race of Love.

After the Tribulations, men will ceaseto sin and will find again the path ofvirtue. The climate of our planet will bemoderated everywhere and brutalvariations will no longer exist. The airwill once again become pure, the samefor water. The parasites will disappear.Men will remember their previousincarnations and they will feel thepleasure of noticing that they are finallyliberated from their previous condition.In the same manner that one gets rid ofthe parasites and dead leaves on thevine, so act the evolved beings toprepare men to serve the God of Love.They give to them good conditions togrow and develop themselves, and tothose who want to listen to them theysay: "Do not be afraid! Still a littlemore time and everything will bealright. You are on the good path. Mayhe that wants to enter into the NewCulture study, consciously work andprepare."

Thanks to the idea of Fraternity, theEarth will become a blessed place andthat will not wait. But before this, greatsufferings will be sent to awaken theconsciousness. Sins accumulated forthousands of years must be redeemed.The ardent wave emanating from OnHigh will contribute in liquidating thekarma of peoples.

The liberation can no longer bepostponed. Humanity must prepareitself for great trials that areinescapable and are coming to bring anend to egoism.

Under the Earth, somethingextraordinary is preparing itself. Arevolution that is grandiose andcompletely inconceivable will manifestitself soon in Nature. God has decidedto redress the Earth, and He will do it!It is the end of an epoch. A new orderwill substitute the old, an order inwhich Love will reign on Earth. It istime for us to wake up. ∞

Hitler's Suppressedand Still-Secret

Weapons, Scienceand Technology

by Henry Stevens

Now we know what spooked the Allies in the closing monthsof the war and why they were in such a panic to win quickly.

The Allies assembled intelligence reports of supermetals, electricguns, and ray weapons able to stop the engines of Allied aircraft inaddition to their worst fears of x-ray and laser weaponry. Thenthere were the bombs. Contained in this book are reports ofstructured bombs of nipolit, N-stuff bombs, cold bombs, oxygenbombs which destroyed all life, atomic bombs and rumors of themysterious molecular bomb. The true history of the fuel-airbomb is revealed by our own military. There is even a probabilitythat the SS black alchemists of the 3rd Reich were experimentingwith red mercury bomb technology.

GravitationalManipulation ofDomed Craft

by Paul Potter)

This book introduces a brand new field of scientific research based uponanalysis of artifacts retrieved from crashed and damaged UFOs that

have come down in Russia and America. For the first time, it reveals thescientific principles behind UFO propulsion dynamics, and shows that theseprinciples are known and recognized by today’s physicists. Potter’s analysesof these UFO mechanisms are substantiated with references to a broadarray of over 300 research papers published in scientific journals! Pottercorrelates many of the phenomena observed firsthand by close encounterwitnesses and abductees and pinpoints the common themes reported,categorizing them according to known physical principles. He produces acomprehensive orchestration of energy dynamics used inside and aroundUFOs.
