A bizarre story but the Dr. interviewed has testified before Congress.
American space weapons expert Dr. Carol Rosin (corporate manager of Fairchild Industries and founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space) once worked with Wernher Von Braun during the last years of his life.

Dr.Rosin, said in the following interview that Von Braun told her of a long-range plan to justify putting weapons in space by staging various events, including a terrorist attack on the United States, the Gulf War, and a threat by both asteroids and extraterrestrials.

It is interesting to note that the interview with Rosin was made in December, 2000, months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attack that sparked Americas so-called "War on Terror." Also, all of the events predicted by Von Braun have happened, right on cue, except for the alien threat event.

Is this strange or what? DUers what do you make of this?

1. Well
Things like hologram projectors that can put images into "thin air"
The idea of Chemtrails pumping out toxins or drugs to effect people or make them suggestible,
the incredible manipulative sucess of marketing,megachurches and other technologies for controlling consent and consiousnesss

In the hands of arrogant bullies willing to do anything to be the king...Makes sense to me.

I do think the kinds of evil manipulative,greedy arrogant egos that find themelves in power are capable of doing or saying anything to get what they want and they don't care who gets hurt or duped.As long as it is not themself.

So of couse they'll pull the alien card.
The recent "sighting" in mexico on CNBC..the press used to not report "sightings" now they are...GW bush wanted to invade Iraq the first day he squatted into office.
These ego maniac greedy bully people are NOT to be trusted and anything they say is a lie.Thier egos and ambition is so overweening of course they'd want to dominate outer space.King of the world is not enough for those kinds of sociopaths with bottomless greed and insecurity that gravitate to power.

6. You are so right about the Mexican UFO's and not only did
the press report it but this was the first time the Mexican military tracked UFOs. OMG I just realized something.

I found this story after reading a post earlier about WMDs being found. Having never heard of the paper (The World Tribune) reporting the story, I did some searching and found a New Yorker article about the rag. The Tribune is affiliated with Rev Moon and the Washington Times. Therefore all BS.

However the New Yorker article also mentioned that World Tribune has a "Cosmic News" segment which I thought bizarre so I checked it out and found a headline "Reagan's Alien Threat from Another Planet".

This really threw me because I had heard some news reports in the last week about Reagan's fixation with aliens. One reporter was saying how freaked Gorbachev was when Reagan would go on about aliens. Another report talked about handlers keeping Reagan away from dignitaries because they were concerned that Reagan would start up with the alien stories. (I kid you not)

Since the link to the story didn't work, I decided to google which is how I found these articles. And if your interested there's lots of links to Reagan's alien obsession.

Thanks

and since Moon was mentioned

Moon crowned in Senate building (no hoax)

http://www.gorenfeld.net/blog/2004/05/im-and-i-approve-this-messiah.html






http://gadflyer.com/articles/?ArticleID=131

Should Americans be concerned that on March 23rd a bipartisan group of Congressmen attended a coronation at which a billionaire, pro-theocracy newspaper owner was declared to be the Messiah – with royal robes, a crown, the works? Or that this imperial ceremony took place not in a makeshift basement church or a backwoods campsite, but in a Senate office building?

Some of the guest list:

Cut to the ritual. Eyes downcast, a man identified as Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) is bringing a crown, atop a velvety purple cushion, to a figure who stands waiting austerely with his wife. Now Moon is wearing robes that Louis XIV would have appreciated. All of this has quickly been spliced into a promo reel by Moon's movement, which implies to its followers that the U.S. Congress itself has crowned the Washington Times owner.

But Section 9 of the Constitution forbids giving out titles of nobility, setting a certain tone that might have made the Congressional hosts shy about celebrating the coronation on their websites. They included conservatives, the traditional fans of Moon's newspaper: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA.), Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah), Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Republican strategy god Charlie Black, whose PR firm represents Ahmed Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress. But there were also liberal House Democrats like Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) and Davis. Rep. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.) later told the Memphis Flyer that he'd been erroneously listed on the program, but had never heard of the event, which was sponsored by the Washington Times Foundation.

14. Contrails .. the ultimate "homiopathic" syringe!!!!

Do you realize that administiring substances from a jet flying at 20,000 feet would be a pretty big waste of time. It would have to be a REALLY potent substance to have any effect.

Shit, why not just dump your chemicals into the water supply and spare all the pretense.

16. Maybe you're missing the point
suppose there is nothing at all in those Chemtrails to harm anyone. Suppose the harm would be to create the "terror" of the trails not the trails themselves.

19. Blame Art Bell ...

Most people don't look at Con Trails and see a threat. It's water!!!

It takes people raising a ruckus about the "threat" to create panic. I haven't seen Tom Ridge talk about con trails yet. Nor have I seen it pop up on the evening news. It's just on Art Bell.

Clouds Caused By Aircraft Exhaust May Warm The U.S. Climate

NASA scientists have found that cirrus clouds, formed by contrails from aircraft engine exhaust, are capable of increasing average surface temperatures enough to account for a warming trend in the United States that occurred between 1975 and 1994.

Deep Shield
In reading this page it may be of value to also look at Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming: Mitigation, Adaptation, and the Science Bases where the conclusion by the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research is that the most effective global warming method of mitigation (corrective) is the spraying of reflective aerosol compounds into the atmosphere utilizing commercial, military and private aircraft!

http://www.holmestead.ca/chemtrails/shieldproject.html


Why all the secrecy?

"Due to the severity of the situation it is mandatory to maintain public calm for as long as possible. The Earth is dying. Humanity is on the road to extinction - without the Shield mankind will die off with in 20 to 50 years. Most people alive today could live to see this extinction take place. This means that an announcement of the situation we face boils down to telling every man, woman and child on earth that they have no future, they are going to be killed. People would panic. There would be economic collapse, the production and movement of goods would collapse. Millions would die in all cities on earth, riots and violence would reduce civilian centers to rubble within days. Half of the population in dense metropolitan areas would try to leave the cities seeking 'safety' in the rural areas thinking that they would be safe. Those left behind in the cities would be at war with their neighbors, fighting for the remaining supplies. We would be telling the world that the world is coming to an end, and even with the Shield the chances of survival are small.

Six Modular Aerial Spray Systems (MASS) are available at the 910 AW to conduct aerial spray missions.

Each system can be configured with up to four 500 gallon tanks for a total volume of 2000 gallons.

James E. Phelps developed the concept of air pharmacology

James E. Phelps studied electrical engineering at the University of Tennessee with his thesis being in core reactor refuelling electronics for breeder reactors. Much of his work was at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee (ORNL) which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) where he worked in the areas of radiation detection and measurements and site remediation amongst other tasks.

The chemtrail technique is basically air pharmacology - how to add one more pollutant that has some positive synergistic effect against another. Phelps developed this approach while looking at weapons plants worker health effects at ORNL.

http://www.holmestead.ca/chemtrails/jimphelps.html

Air Pharmacology and end time predictions

The fluorine effect is so permanent within the cell G-protein's binding
that it cannot even be released. So, the only way to protect a cell in the
nerve system from this compound is to pre-treat or pre-bind these G-protein sites
with other chemicals. This is how the pyridostigmine bromide, PB, effect came
into extensive use in the late 1980's, due to my discoveries on the
electronegative effects of fluorine on G-protein sites. I recommended the use of PB as
a blocking agent against fluorine nerve gases. PB is a nerve cell seeking
hormone that acts on the same channels and blocks the acetylcholinesterase,
AChE, process. The lesser electronegative bromine attachment allows a reversible
binding site block.


After daddy Bush left the CIA he went to work for a pharmaceutical company
named Eli Lilly, and this is the company that founded a proliferation of
fluoride drugs, like Prozac, to attempt to profit from the low level effects of
fluoride-metal complexes in the environment by modifying the G-protein effects
linked to fluorine. Eli Lilly also had lots of CIA connections and made the
drug LSD for CIA linked mind control projects. Again, this is all G-protein
research. This is how fluorides connect to "mind control" and "MK Ultra" issues.
Sincerely,
Jim Phelps, DOE / DOD Whistleblower

S-1 Committee at the Bohemian Grove


Ernest Lawrence and the Cyclotron

Government committee of scientists that oversaw uranium production for the war effort. From left to right are Harold C. Urey, Ernest O. Lawrence, James B. Conant, Lyman J. Briggs, E.V. Murphree and A.H. Compton.
Ernest Lawrence and the Cyclotron

Early view of the Oak Ridge facility.

In 1939 refugee Jewish scientists in the U.S., including Albert Einstein, had convinced President F.D. Roosevelt to start a uranium research project. The American effort languished through 1940 into 1941, although Lawrence impatiently urged brisker action. Meanwhile, two refugee scientists in Britain, Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls, realized that a nuclear explosion could be created using a relatively small amount of one of the two isotopes present in natural uranium. Only the rare isotope with mass 235 was fissionable, while the much more abundant isotope uranium-238 would only hamper a chain reaction. This secret, brought to the U.S. from Britain, helped to energize the American uranium project. Two of the project leaders, Arthur Compton and James Conant, met with Lawrence in September 1941 and asked him whether he was willing to devote the next several years of his life to a crash program to build an atomic bomb. He was.
“I can still recall the expression in his eyes as he sat there with his mouth half open...He hesitated only a moment. ‘If you tell me this is my job, I’ll do it.’”
—Arthur Compton on Lawrence’s commitment to a bomb project.

PART 1 - The Methodic Demise of Natural Earth

~An Environmental Impact Overview~

Dr. R. Michael Castle
December, 2003, ( Updates March 2004, May 2004)

In this century, we believe we are witnessing the gradual, purposeful demise of the Earth's Natural System. There are those who will debunk/dis-info all that is written regarding the subject of this paper: ChemTrails. What's this? ChemTrails are only a vague description, in lay-terms, of a greater theater of toxic materials being released into the atmosphere/stratosphere, for a myriad of crude and toxic agendas.

The author, Dr. R. Mike Castle, will attempt to put this Global debacle into a profile of events. Technical specificity of all the identified components would require at least a book in length, to recite them all. A short Bibliography follows, and links to various pertinent documents of unquestionable validity.

First Rule of Understanding: There are very large, winner-take-all games orchestrated by the Global Interests of the World. We have investigated, researched and found substantial evidence of a multiplicity of Global operations designed to mitigate various and theoretical Global catastrophes, as defined by a late 1980's and 1990's International Panel of Conferees. (The value of who are they, what's the politics smell like and all that is not of the utmost importance in our attempt, herein, to describe what serious destruction they have caused and are causing to Humans and our Finite Environment.
( Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ) (1)
( http://www.ipcc.ch )

Many of the operations we have collectively found in our investigations of this debacle have remained a secret, classified and not for general populace information or knowledge. You must answer the question, Dear Reader as to why someone would possibly deploy these Geo-weapons. Just follow the money trails. We will yield all of our voluminous data, information and all references we have used in our validation of facts surrounding this Global atrocity. The recipients of this information must be interested enough in what we are trying to expose, the Human-health risks, the Environmental risks and the plain, simple "wrongness" that prevails. We must determine first if you are provoked to really care, because the research and development of this information for a Major Media whistle-blowing expose will require passion and dedication. Our research work has spanned almost five years of....watching and discovering, with disgust, the scenarios which follow.
This is not a small task.....but the Mission is simple. Expose and Stop the Methodic Demolition of our Natural Earth and its inhabitants.
Executive Summary

Dr. Edward Teller wrote a white paper in the late 1990's describing a remedial operation, strategy, epic-in-proportion, to change the predicted course of what was believed by an International group of Scientists, including Dr. Edward Teller, Livermore National Laboratories, et al, to be the cataclysmic certainty from the results of global-warming, crisis level Ultra-Violet/Cosmic radiation, crisis Ozone-layer depletion and other theoretical doom. ( Edward Teller's "Sun Screen" Document - pdf ) (http://www.rense.com/general18/scatteringEdTellerwithnotes.pdf ) (2) Demonstrating here, that the same mind, Dr. Edward Teller, Father H-Bomb, was responsible for many ill-conceived strategies and not one gave considerations to the consequences in the Human realm. Safety, toxicity, lethality, exposure, Environmental Impact, morality, were not words with which Dr. Teller had a high-degree of familiarity.( WHO IS EDWARD TELLER? )
( http://www.tms.physics.lsa.umich.edu/214/other/news/o42401Hbomb.html ) (3)

These Global-Warming Mitigation Strategies, UV Mitigation and the cessation of the effects of Atmospheric Greenhouse-gases were given a commonality by Teller, et al, and this was the use of a sub-micron particulate. Barium, Aluminum, Thorium, Selenium were to be processed into a sub-micron particle dispensed from high-altitude aircraft, ionized with a specific electrical charge.

These pulsed, extremely low frequency (ELF) waves, for instance, can be used to convey mechanical effects and vibrations at great distances through the Earth. They can manipulate the weather, creating storms and torrential rains over an area.

These waves have the potential to generate earth movements. ‘It has the capability to cause disturbance of volcanoes and tectonic plates, which in turn, have an effect on the weather,’ she states.

...

Tellingly, the US Secretary of Defence, in 1997, commented on new threats posed by terrorist organizations ‘engaging in eco-type terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, and volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves’.

‘The military has a habit of accusing others of having capabilities they already hold,’ said Dr. Bertell in response.

North American Association for Environmental Education

Address by Daniel Quinn delivered August 16, 1997, at the annual conference of the North American Association for Environmental Education, Vancouver BC

In a recent semi-documentary film called Garbage, a toxic waste disposal engineer was asked how we can stop engulfing the world in our poisons. His answer was, "We'd have to remove everybody from the face of the earth, because humans GENERATE toxic waste, whether it be pathogenic organisms that we excrete from our bodies or whatever. We are toxic to the face of the earth."
What is your gut reaction to this assessment? Please raise your hands if you agree that humans are inherently toxic.

"Angels Don't Play this HAARP"

Dr. Nick Begich and Jeane Manning

HAARP - (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) A project run jointly by the US Air Force and Navy. Based in Alaska, it is a research program designed to study the ionosphere in order to develop new weapons technology. It could be used to wipe out communications over an extremely large area, it could be used as a tool for geophysical probing, which would define oil, gas and mineral deposits , it could be used to modify weather patterns and cause earthquakes. If HAARP was tuned to the right frequency, using just the right waveforms, mental disruption throughout a region could occur intentionally or as a side-effect of the radio frequency transmissions. It could also be used for crowd control by employing the cyclotron resonance of HAARP together with a minute amount of airborne chemical.

Co-author Jeane Manning is an experienced magazine journalist and reporter for daily newspapers. She has doggedly tracked HAARP since 1994.

Co-author Dr. Nick Begich is the eldest son of the late US Congressman from Alaska, Nick Begich Sr., and political activist Pegge Begich. Dr. Begich is well known in Alaska for his political activities. Dr. Begich received his doctorate in traditional medicine from The Open International University For Complimentary Medicines in November 1994.

47. I never thought much about Contrails/Chemtrails until
I moved from Colorado to Utah.

In Utah valley, every few weeks, the sky will be covered in a giant checkerboard pattern of loose-knit contrails, set at near right angles, for dozens of miles in all directions.

I've lived in Los Angeles, Hawaii, San Francisco, Denver, and Atlanta - all big cities with plenty of air traffic and international airports. LA and Denver are also pretty close in climate to Utah valley, but I have never seen chem/contrails to the extent that I have here, and never in such well organized patterns.

I don't know what they are, but they seem different from anything I've ever observed.

2. Interesting -- I just ran across this article from 1991
Again, it's from 1991. That's during the latter part of Bush1's administration, after the Gulf War. It alleges that Saddam Hussein is going to be a terrorist threat to the U.S. Fascinating. Near as I can tell, Saddam was NEVER a terrorist threat to the U.S., but he could've been just as useful back then (had Bush won a 2nd term) as he was to the Bushes this time around.

5.  Hi Eloriel
Edited on Fri Jun-11-04 11:01 PM by seemslikeadream
Thanks

It seems somethin's in the air.


from your link

"People who have had serious traumas in their lives have had their whole syndromes reactivated by this threat," Dr. Rona Fields, a Virginia-based psychologist, said in a telephone interview. "Clients have begun talking to me about nightmares and panic attacks generated by their fears of terrorism."

Fields said that in her practice in the Alexandria, Va., area, the fear of terrorism seems to be especially intense among refugees who have experienced traumatic events, combat veterans and adult children of alcoholics.

Dr. Joseph Margolin, a Washington-area psychiatrist, noted that a primary effect of terrorism is to "make people mistrust each other and to question ability of the government to protect them." He said it is important for the government to foster "a sense of fellowship, a sense of the reliability of your neighbor. It sounds very corny, but that's why patriotism and flag-waving are especially useful at times like these."

21. I've had suspicions
about the Deep Impact rumour (they do like staging dramatic productions). I think it may be part of a psyops campaign to disseminate a new sense of unease and vulnerability among Americans, perhaps even doing some of the groundwork for the imposition of martial law. Because if it's a hoax, it's an elaborate one: the "snowball" intercept, counting down to a June 18 impact, surfaced months ago, the "Aussie Bloke" messages of May are not easily debunked, and the actions of the Fed and the navy do signal something unusual, imminent and potentially catastrophic is in the works.

And I think of this article and how, decades ago, phony external threats including meteors and aliens were anticipated as someday being employed to justify Washington's agenda. (The recent spate of very public UFO incidents in Iran, Mexico and Portugal compound my suspicions.)

So, what's up? Damned if I know. But there's a Bush in the White House. Something's up. And I'm not just watching the skies. I'm watching my back.

30. Tinfoil hat alert
Apparently mariners on the east coast of the US have been warned that their GPS navigational systems will not work over the next week or so. Supposedly the Pentagon is testing some kind of jamming device that screws up the navigational systems that are GPS-based.
I'd been wondering what was really going on. I wonder if these two items are related...most likely not, but it came to mind immediately as I read through this thread.

I have never heard of this story although I do remeber in the 1980's when Reagan was working all out to get Stars Wars in place. You may find it interesting to read the post I just did about how I came across it.


p.s. Isn't it interesting in light of this that the they opted for Stars Wars as a name, given its association with inter-galactic wars?

Have we discussed the Barrick gold heist? And what about Rev. Moon?

http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=207&row=4

<excerpt>

Some of the loot for the Republican effort in the 1997-2000 election cycles came from an outfit called Barrick Corporation. The sum, while over $100,000, is comparatively small change for the GOP, yet it seemed quite a gesture for a corporation based in Canada. Technically, the funds came from those associated with the Canadian’s U.S. unit, Barrick Gold Strike.

They could well afford it. In the final days of the Bush (Senior) administration, the Interior Department made an extraordinary but little noticed change in procedures under the 1872 Mining Law, the gold rush-era act that permitted those whiskered small-time prospectors with their tin pans and mules to stake claims on their tiny plots. The department initiated an expedited procedure for mining companies that allowed Barrick to swiftly lay claim to the largest gold find in America. In the terminology of the law, Barrick could “perfect its patent” on the estimated $10 billion in ore—for which Barrick paid the U.S. Treasury a little under $ 10,000. Eureka!

<snip>

Barrick says it had no contact whatsoever with the president at the time of the rules change.<1> There was always a place in Barrick’s heart for the older Bush—and a place on its payroll. In 1995, Barrick hired the former president as Honorary Senior Advisor to the Toronto company’s International Advisory Board. Bush joined at the suggestion of former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, who, like Bush, had been ignominiously booted from office. I was a bit surprised that the president had signed on. When Bush was voted out of the White House, he vowed never to lobby or join a corporate board. The chairman of Barrick openly boasts that granting the title “Senior Advisor” was a sly maneuver to help Bush tiptoe around this promise.

Bush the Elder’s Scheme to Sell Pardons and Get a Payoff –
Where is the Outrage Over a 10 Billion Dollar Taxpayer Ripoff?

February 26, 2001

By Jock Gill for Democrats.com

Bill Clinton wasn’t being either bold or creative in his use of the presidential pardon power. Compared to George Bush Senior’s incredible pardon fiasco, Clinton’s pardon scandal is boring.

In his last days as President, Bush Sr. sold U.S. government asset worth $10 billion to a friend for a mere $10 thousand dollars, pardoned his business colleagues, and then went on the company’s payroll for seven years.

At the very end of his presidency Papa Bush gave a sweetheart deal to the Canadian company Barrick Goldstrike. They got the rights to US land worth $10 billion in return for a nominal payment to the treasury of $10,000. But that does not seem to be all they got, or all they paid for either.

The money behind Barrick is from Saudi arms dealer and Bush family friend Adnan Khashoggi, who was identified as conduit in the Iran-Contra conspiracy. In 1986 he was arrested and charged with fraud but failed to be convicted. In one of his last acts as president Bush pardoned Khashoggi's alleged co-conspirators, who were key members of Bush's own cabinet. As a result, no case could be made against Khashoggi – or against Bush himself.

Another big player in the eastern Congo is Barrick Gold Corp., headquatered in Canada. It is the world's second-largest gold producer after Anglo-American of South Africa.

This company was able in 1996 to get the Mobutu regime's Gold Office of Kilomoto, a government monopoly, to transfer mining rights over almost all its 82,000 square kilometers of land to Barrick. The land is estimated to have 100 tons of gold in reserve.

George Bush Sr. sat on the board of directors of Barrick, according to Baracyetse.
www.minesandcommunities.org/Company/kabilal.htm

The war on Iraq is not the only war in the world and it is not the only war being fought for our material benefit. Western consumers' seemingly insatiable demand for mobile phones, laptops, games consoles and other luxury electronic goods has been fueling violent conflict and killing millions in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is possibily the most minerial place on earth - though this has proved a curse to the people of the Congo. The Congo holds millions of tons of diamonds, copper, colbalt, zinc, manganasa, uranium (the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were built using Congolese uranium), and coltan. Coltan, a substance made up of columbium and tantalum, is a particularly valuable resourse - used to make mobile phones, night vision goggles, fiber optics, and micro-capacitors.

The human costs of this conflict have been horrific. According to the UN, up until last September, in the five Eastern provinces of DRC alone, between 3 and 3.5 million people had died directly because of the war. Many were killed and tortured but most died of starvation and disease. The destruction of farms has resulted in malnutrition and starvation.
http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/newsletter/issue13/issue13_part3.htm

War in Congo has claimed over three million lives since 1998 alone. Innocent civilians have been brutalized, massacred, raped, and tortured by all parties to the conflict. It began with the U.S. sponsored invasion of Rwanda in 1994, and followed with two subsequent U.S. sponsored invasions of Congo (in 1996 and 1998). These are not the simple "civil wars" declared by the western press. Even the Rwanda "genocide" (in 1994) has to some extent been manufactured in the American mind to serve the mythology of tribalism. Meanwhile, American green berets and military advisors and Pentagon officals have participated from blackboard to battlefield.

Sierra Leone, Angola, Sudan, Rwanda and Congo are wars where factions are armed with U.S. made weapons (M16s, SAMs, tanks); where U.S. covert forces undertake brutal secret missions and psychological operations accountable to no one. They are wars where the CIA us deeply and maliciously entrenched as such by our dubious media. At the roots, however, these are wars like any other war.




******Essential to the superalloys and weaponry of the global economy of war are Congo's cobalt, uranium and columbium tantalite (coltan). Colbalt is elemental to nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons, tank armor, industrial furnaces and aerospace, and for 50 years the CIA has insured the free flow of cobalt out of Congo.

The man who financed Bush's power-play in Ibero-America


is the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification Church, with documented ties to gun-and drug-trafficking, money-laundering, and other nefarious activities. Thus, it is no surprise that Bush used his Ibero-American jaunt to champion the British colonial doctrine of free trade, and attack, as he did in Peru, the Clinton administration's anti-drug policy.
Everywhere he went, Bush tried to promote his image as a still-powerful former President and policymaker. But he didn't have an easy time of it, not least because of his ties to the filthy Moon empire, but also because he is under investigation back home for his role in directing the crack-cocaine flow into the United States in the 1980's to fund the Contras' war in Nicaragua. In every country, he was greeted by advertisements and press articles denouncing him and Moon for their crimes. Some of the coverage was taken straight from (EIR). In Peru, Bush became so unhinged by this publicity, that he had Peruvian police arrest three organizers of the Ibero-American Solicarity Movement (MSIA) who used (EIR) materials to leaflet against his presence.

His trip to Peru was arranged by Interbank, whose managing director, Ismael Benavides, led the campaign against a new banking law. Interbank is partly owned by Nicholas Brady, Bush's former treasury secretary and good friend who accompanied him in Lima.

Rev. Moon, North Korea & the Bushes
By Robert Parry

<excerpt>

One well-placed former leader of Moon’s Unification Church told me that the total earmarked for former President Bush was $10 million. The father of the Republican nominee has declined to say how much Moon’s organization actually paid him for speeches and other services in Asia, the United States and South America.

At one Moon-sponsored speech in Argentina in 1996, Bush declared, “I want to salute Reverend Moon,” whom Bush praised as “the man with the vision.”

Bush made these speeches at a time when Moon was expressing intensely anti-American views. In his own speeches, Moon termed the United States “Satan’s harvest” and claimed that American women descended from a “line of prostitutes.”

During this year’s presidential campaign, Moon’s Washington Times has attacked the Clinton-Gore administration for failing to take more aggressive steps to defend against North Korea’s missile program. The newspaper called the administration’s decisions an “abdication of responsibility for national security.”

A Helping Hand

Yet, in the 1990s when North Korea was scrambling for the resources to develop missiles and other advanced weaponry, Moon was among a small group of outside businessmen quietly investing in North Korea.


Octafish
Rev. Moon sure is the guy with the "Vision Thing."


Thanks, Stephanie! Very important to get in writing this part of the story. Besides building the giant jungle redoubt in Paraguay where the BFEE members expect to ride out the Apocalypse watching reruns of "Walker, Texas Ranger," Rev. Sun Myung Moon helped develop the PTL ("Pass The Loot") model for ripping off followers. He invested the plunder well in ultra-conservative American politicians and commie hunters, paying millions to support the Bush regimes, including the time Bush was ostensibly the veep calling the shots for Geritol-soaked Ronald Witless Reagan. Remember, Pruneface called the Washington Times his favorite newspaper, boosting circulation and propaganda consumption. Well, I guess that's better than Smirk who doesn't read or understand. Otherwise Junior might ask why Moon uses his largesse to help arm the North Koreans and maintain the perpetual state of global war. Then again, that's the idea, a grand vision of big death and big money. — Octafish



Rev. Moon and Rev. Falwell co-pioneers of PTL business model.

BUSH , REV. MOON & Washington Times

By Carla Binion
11/09/99

In the 1970s, the Fraser Senate Investigating Committee looked into the "Koreagate" scandal. . . Then-U.S. Representative Donald Fraser said the senate committee discovered that Moonie leaders were told Moon wanted to start political work in the U.S. The Moonies were told that objection to Moon's goals would equal objection to God. (Fraser Committee Report, page 320.)

President George Bush was head of the CIA when Koreagate broke in 1976 and knew the above details. Despite that, Bush (1) Did nothing to oppose the Unification Church's deceptive, coercive, brainwashing tactics or designs on our political system, and (2) In 1995 spoke at a series of Moon rallies in the U.S. and Japan. The rallies were hosted by Mrs. Moon's front group Women's Federation for World Peace (WFWP). (Jolen Chang, "Asian Fortune," March 1995.) Bush received one million pounds for payment according to the "British Daily Mail." ("Bush and '1M from Moonies,' "Daily Mail," September 5, 1995.)

George Bush claimed innocence and gave his only interview on the subject to the Moonie owned paper, "The Washington Times." Bush praised the WFPF's "great emphasis on family" and told the "Times:" "Until I see something about the Women's Federation that troubles me, I will continue to encourage them." (Peter McGill, et al, "Ed Schreyer and the Moonies," "Maclean's," October 23, 1995; Andrew Pollack, "Bush Host In Japan Tied To Rev. Moon," "The New York Times," September 4, 1995.)

Because Bush headed the CIA during Koreagate, he knew that when the Moonies talk of "family" they mean the "True Family" of the Unification Church. As former head of the CIA, he also knew of The Washington Times Moonie connections.

Billions of Dollars at Stake

American Mineral Fields (AMFI), a consortium based originally in Hope, Ark.--yes, Bill Clinton's hometown--is a big player in exploiting Congo's mineral wealth. In 1997, just a month before Mobutu fell, it signed contracts with the Kabila-Rwanda-Uganda alliance forces for almost a billion dollars investment in copper, cobalt and zinc mines and processing plants in Kolwezi and Kipushi.

The industrial enterprises that set up AMFI, according to Baracyetse, "are interested in the contract for the construction of the orbital platform around the world that is destined to replace the Russian station MIR."

This project is part of the $60-billion so-called National Missile Defense system that George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Vice President Richard Cheney are pushing so vigorously. Building the space station will require many of the rare metals found in eastern Congo.

Another big player in the eastern Congo is Barrick Gold Corp., headquartered in Canada. It is the world's second- largest gold producer after Anglo-American of South Africa.

This company was able in 1996 to get the Mobutu regime's Gold Office of Kilomoto, a government monopoly, to transfer mining rights over almost all its 82,000 square kilometers of land to Barrick. The land is estimated to have 100 tons of gold in reserve.

11. I always thought those asteroid scares were BS
If you closely read the news stories the press runs during asteroid scares you'll notice that the scientists usually say stuff like "well, there's a remote chance that the asteroid may come close enough to hit" etc. Almost as though they were pushed into that answer with questions like "Is there ANY chance that the asteroid could hit the Earth?". The reporters then run with it and start asking about effects "Well, if an asteroid did hit it could take out an area the size of Texas". Then the headline becomes "Asteroid could obliterate Texas".

It's what Ike warned us about anyway.

It's when the whole cold war started.

Of course they had to say it WAS an alien ship that crashed and then recant it. Because they could never prove it was one, because it wasn't So they had to say it wasn't true, that it was a mistake, but by then it was in the public's mind. Also if they made it look like they were covering something up, it would REALLY take off.

The "industrial/military complex, as Ike would say, would certainly benefit from creating UFO stories and feigning coverups. What better way to throw people off your trail and at the same time implant a measure of fear that would be very useful in the longrun.

33. An important book I'm starting to read that
may be relevant here: UFOs and the National Security State by Richard Dolan. He sticks close to official archives to document a cover-up, and refrains from speculation.

Cribbed from the introduction:

"Americans are in a bad enought state trying to struggle through the ordinary smoke of their official culture. How can they be expected to assess the implications of the UFO problem? They can begin only by recognizing that secrecy over UFOs exists, and that this secrecy is part of a broader policy of control and deception."

40. Having just googled some recent articles by Dolan,. His position
is that world governments are not divulging the security risks posed UFO's. However in light of Von Braun's contention that UFO's are a ruse for militarizing space the information Dolan provides lend credence to Von Braun's assertions.

37. Probably
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 09:47 AM by Cogito ergo doleo
because the official military explanation for Roswell has been changed several times. The first report, that a UFO crashed in Roswell, was issued by Roswell Army Airfield base commander and head of the 509th Bomb Wing, Col. William Blanchard. This report was published in newspapers west of the Mississippi on July 8,1947. In a report issued by the RAAF the next day, the military claimed that all that had crashed in Roswell was a weather balloon.

The 509th Bomb Wing was an elite group with 60 years of military history. It was involved with the secret development, testing and use of the atomic bombs in the early and mid 1940s, and it is the 509th that eventually dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. Does anyone seriously think that this outfit would not know twisted metal aircraft debris from a weather balloon?

Given the military’s subsequent explanations, you really have to wonder what they are up to when it comes to Roswell. After the weather balloon explanation, it was revealed in 1995, in the GAO report to Congressman Steve Schiff, that the debris was actually a Mogul balloon (a device for gathering information on Soviet Union nuclear explosions, that looks something like a tin foil kite). In 1997, in the “Roswell, Case Closed” press conference, it was finally disclosed that what was found in the debris in 1947 were balloon- dropped anthropomorphic dummies. The fact that dummies were not used until the early to mid 1950’s was explained as being “Time Compression” – thought more scary to me than UFOs;). Either the military actually see us as pitifully and stupidly gullible, or are they are making a great effort to confuse us.

I know Carol. She is seriously credible. And as for little green men, there will be a very compelling report released at some point in the near future that will ignite the speculation that extraterrestrial remains were actually found. Considering the source, it will raise more questions of possible manipulation than it will do to settle the 1947 incident.

39. FWIW: A "Pleiadian" perspective
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 11:44 AM by Aries
--excerpted from "As Dramas Unfold", a recording channeled by Barbara Marciniak from "The Pleiadians", 10/12/01, at Montauk, NY

...It could be that the biological cells of your being have a greater inter-network than all of the stealth satellites and Star War activities. And to give you a bit of information on Star Wars--let us say that the next most successful drama to traumatize the public will be from the heavens. And perhaps "Independence Day", that famous film about ships landing--the other film, about the lizards landing, disguised as benevolent humans--perhaps this will be one of the events that will be foisted on humans.

We will remind you of something. Holographic technology is EXTREMELY sophisticated today, and there are impenetrable holograms, meaning that the nature of the hologram is such that through the use of laser technology and, basically, the movie (making it quite simple here) an image can be projected, and it can appear to be real. This technology was utilized, not extensively...during the Gulf War. And Psy-Ops technology, psychological operations, black Psy-Ops (black Psy-Ops are those psychological manipulations that you never read about in the newspaper--mind control extraordinaire, the super-technologies that can twist and bend someone's belief system). These were used during the Gulf War against Saddam's troops, and many of them saw great apparitions. And so it is no big deal to have Mohammed, Allah, God...appear to the fundamentalist devotees and to command them to do something that is completely against their belief system. Not only would it be an image, it would have a frequency that would go with it. ...here are many places where one can go to have one's brains entrained and energized. The Monroe Institute in Virginia (http://www.monroeinstitute.org) is famous for, let us say, synchronizing hemi-synch brain attunement. This is kindergarten, dear friends, this is pre-school, compared to the level of sophistication one can utilize with holographic technologies and beaming frequencies. You can have someone have a false realization, or a false high, false enlightenment, a false epiphany.

Now, an impenetrable hologram would mean that if you went to put your hand in it, it would stop, for it would appear to be real. Your skies are loaded with...thousands of satellites, all capable of interacting with each other, sending information, many of them capable of projecting an image on the big silver screen of the sky. Again, triangulation would be needed. Three triangulated satellites, each beaming a picture onto a spot, so the spot would then be "realized". Triangulation is also used to manipulate people by the triangulation of antennas, and then those who ingest certain drugs ... can have their minds altered without their knowing it by simply being between certain antennas....

50. The mainstream version from the Washington Post
http://www.public-action.com/911/voice-simulation/

Allah on the Holodeck

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pentagon planners started to discuss digital morphing after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Covert operators kicked around the idea of creating a computer-faked videotape of Saddam Hussein crying or showing other such manly weaknesses, or in some sexually compromising situation. The nascent plan was for the tapes to be flooded into Iraq and the Arab world.

The tape war never proceeded, killed, participants say, by bureaucratic fights over jurisdiction, skepticism over the technology, and concerns raised by Arab coalition partners.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What if the U.S. projected a holographic image of Allah floating over Baghdad?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But the "strategic" PSYOPS scheming didn't die. What if the U.S. projected a holographic image of Allah floating over Baghdad urging the Iraqi people and Army to rise up against Saddam, a senior Air Force officer asked in 1990?

According to a military physicist given the task of looking into the hologram idea, the feasibility had been established of projecting large, three-dimensional objects that appeared to float in the air.

But doing so over the skies of Iraq? To project such a hologram over Baghdad on the order of several hundred feet, they calculated, would take a mirror more than a mile square in space, as well as huge projectors and power sources.

And besides, investigators came back, what does Allah look like?

The Gulf War hologram story might be dismissed were it not the case that washingtonpost.com has learned that a super secret program was established in 1994 to pursue the very technology for PSYOPS application. The "Holographic Projector" is described in a classified Air Force document as a system to "project information power from space ... for special operations deception missions."

41. Here's a devious plan
Why not play on the psychology of christian apocalypse?

All that would be needed is some special effects and media endorsement, then you could convince people that Christ had come and install some figure to command them.

Anyopne who didn't believe what was happeneing chould be rounded up by an Army of God.

That would be a good way to take over the world. Except for China.

56. with the kind of money and power involved
With the kind of money and power involved, I've been concerned about a coup involving a staged or even projected messianic figure. Sun Myung Moon has three decades of cult mind-control expertise. And he's (not coincidently) the sponsor of the whole "Left Behind" apocalypse/rapture/Republican freak show. I have no doubt those books are imbedded with hypnotic triggers for political cult purposes.

The BFFE has the motive and the means to do something outrageous like stage a christian fulfillment of prophesy...

48. sounds like Iron Mountain stuff to me
Ever hear of that one?

Personally, I just hope there is not a conspiracy behind 911 involving our government. If there is, things are a lot worse than many realize. I know some around here buy into Bush or some others being behind 911, and that could be, but I hate to think it's gotten that bad.

54. I don't understand the connection you are drawing between
the Carlyle Group and Von Braun's assertion of a long-range plan to justify putting weapons in space by staging various events, including a terrorist attack on the United States, the Gulf War, and a threat by both asteroids and extraterrestrials.

Please expand.
