Tuesday, January 31, 2006 13BLOODLINES13 l Basis of Elitism and “Divine Right” Rule by, Edouard de Legionnaire On October 28th, 1998, a number of newspapers across the country ran an Associated Press article entitled “Presidential Hopefuls Share Blue Blood Lines.” The article, based on information put forth by Burke’s Peerage, claimed that every single President of the United States has had a notable amount of royal European ancestry, and in each Presidential race, the one with the most royal genes is the one who wins - every single time. This tendency has been noted in supposedly Democratic European politics as well, prompting some to charge that a global conspiracy exists to keep power within the hands of a specific gene pool. This charge is not entirely baseless, and many books have been written tracing modern aristocratic bloodlines back to the royal houses of Israel, Egypt, Sumer, and beyond. The charge is further supported by the fact that many of the supposed conspirators proudly boast about the ancient origins of their ancestry. The traditional explanation for why power is passed down through the ages by blood has been the mystical Divine Right of Kings. This dates back to the 17th century and states that a king is created by God, so therefore kingly authority resides in the blood irrespective of anything else. Many have claimed that there is a genetic characteristic carried in the blood itself which makes this so. But what would it be? Is there a legitimate physiological reason behind the Divine Right of Kings? Fields of the Nephilim The all-important element of the Divine Right is that it comes from God, or “the gods”, alternately. And who were these gods? Authors such as Zecharia Sitchin, Sir Laurence Gardner and Nicholas de Vere are authoritatively convinced that kingship was created by an advanced race of beings called the Annunaki, also called the Nephilim in the Old Testament. These were the ones who created the human race and interbred with a portion of it to create the kingly caste which until this day has still maintained control over the Earth. These celestial creatures have been variously identified with Dragons, Elves, Fairies, Gnomes, Leprechauns, Sprites, Nymphs, Pixies, Angels, Demons, Devils, Witches, Giants, Vampires, Werewolves, and just about every mythical being you can imagine. Some, like Gardner and Sitchin, claim that they come from another planet. Others, like de Vere, say that they’re multi-dimensional, or that they’re from the Hollow Earth. Some, like David Icke, say that they are humans inhabited by the spirits of multidimensional reptiles, capable of shapeshifting into reptile form at any time. Still others claim that they were humanoid, but more than human, with pale white skin. The human hybrid offspring that they created as the royal/priestly caste was, according to most, the Aryans, who usually had red hair with green eyes – in stark contrast to the traditional Hitlerian vision. Nicholas de Vere, the leader of an organization called The Dragon Court which claims to represent this royal Aryan caste, writes, “the depiction of the Aryan (Scythian) as a tall, ruddy-complexioned blonde racist yeoman-farmer-warrior-god has no basis in truth.” He further suggests that the “yeoman-farmer” Celtic, Gaulish and Pictish tribes which we now think of as Aryan were actually of a different race, but had hired the extra-human Aryans to be their leaders. These Aryans were also the masterminds behind the Indian, Hittite, Greek, Egyptian, Hebrew, Sumerian and Pre-Sumerian Ubaid civilizations. Many believe that their descendants can be found amongst the segment of the population with the RH Negative blood type, roughly 5% of the Earth’s population, most of them Europeans. These people are often born with an extra vertebrate, have a lower than normal body temperature, and can rarely mate with one another successfully, suggesting that they may indeed be a hybrid species. Conspiracy enthusiast Arizona Wilder takes it a step further by saying, “The Aryan bloodline is alien to this planet… There are 13 bloodlines from this kind of stock (the Merovingians being one), and all of them have to a greater or lesser degree the capacity to play host to the Shape Changer reptiles.” The other 12 families have been identified as Astor, Bundy, Collins, Dupont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Reynolds, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Russell, and Van Duyn, with the rest of the European royal families being categorized as “Merovingian.” These are the people referred to by the fanatic group the Sons of Jared when they “pledge an implacable war against the descendants of the Watchers, who as notorious pharaohs, kings and dictators, have throughout history dominated mankind… like super-gangsters, a celestial Mafia ruling the world.” The Book of Enoch says that the sons of the Nefilim are destined to “afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle and work destruction on the earth.” Nicholas de Vere, himself a Prince of the Dragon Blood, sees it quite differently. He sees them as the rightful shepherds of the human flock. “The fairies were tuned to a higher frequency of perception and activity generally. In the past, therefore, because the Fairies were, for millennia, physiologically bred and exhaustively trained to operate at a higher level than men, humans often invited the to become social navigators… A dragon was one who saw clearly, and the clarity of vision engendered was always classically associated with wisdom, which itself produces power….” The Annunaki and their quasi-human offspring are attributed remarkable traits. They lived for thousands of years, were capable of levitation, dimension-hopping, clairvoyance, and a million other magical powers, all a product of applied eugenics. “Selective unions gave the race the opportunity to breed outstanding magicians whose gift of natural perception and understanding: and whose ability to access the ‘Otherworld’, helped to produce and guide brilliant kings who ruled with elegant aplomb. The ability to perform magic was carried in the blood”, and “the Elves were relied upon by their client races to be able to see things and perform feats that these client races couldn’t.” Laurence Gardner, himself a former member of the Dragon Court, concurs. “In short, these people were bred to be leaders of mankind, and they were both mentally and physically maintained in the highward state.” But what property did they inherit in the blood which makes this possible? The experts are nearly unanimous about the fact that the answer is endocrinology. Says de Vere, “hormonal levels [are] influenced by genetic inheritance and that hormones [affect] the individual’s perceptions, psychological unicameralism and the subsequent ability to transcend and perceive the intricacies of the cosmos. Elven blood [is] rich in these substances.” Starfire Bloodfests “The best blood is of the moon, monthly…” -Aleister Crowley, The Book of the Law. The beneficial effects of the hormone melatonin have been part of the health supplement scene for some time, for high melatonin production is known to be synonymous with a high immune system, a low cancer risk, long life, energy, stamina, and according to many, enhanced spiritual awareness. Perhaps it is fitting then that this hormone is secreted by the pineal gland, a mysterious little item long believed by mystics to be the “Seat of the Soul”, “The Third Eye”, and the organ through which psychic powers are exercised. In fact it actually functions as an organ of sight in some reptiles, and it still seems to possess some sensitivity to light in higher mammals, as melatonin production increases when the person is exposed to darkness (thus melatonin means “night worker.”) Writes Laurence Gardner, “High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness – a state simply of ‘knowing.’ In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set.” Many magical rites and meditation techniques are aimed at gaining control of this organ and the fluid it produces, the live melatonin. Rumor has it that the members of the super-secret society Skull & Bones, which both George Bush and George Jr. belong to, engage in a ceremony called “The Obscene Rite”, which involves the consumption of the live pineal gland of a human or animal sacrifice, in order to get the fresh secretions. Supplements bought over the counter are ineffective because, as Gardner explains, “their inherent secretions are obtained from the desiccated glands of dead animals and they lack the truly important elements which only exist in live human glandular manufacture.” But the Aryan overlords who ruled over mankind in ancient days had a simpler way of acquiring this fluid. Their ancestor-gods the Annunaki had endocrine systems that produced large amounts of this and other beneficial substances, so they drank it straight from the source: the menstrual blood and vaginal fluids of the goddesses themselves. This they referred to lovingly as “Starfire” and drank in a ritual ceremony called the Black Mass, after which the Catholic Mass is said to have been modeled. Later, as direct contact with the Annunaki ceased, the fluids were collected from sacred priestesses referred to as “Scarlet Women”, or “Grail Maidens.” Readers will recognize the Scarlet Woman as the Whore of Revelations, as well as the title which Aleister Crowley gave to all of his sex magick partners. “These sacred, royal princesses,”, writes de Vere, “virgins of High Birth and Pure Blood, at an optimum age would be chosen to act as feeding females”, whose essences contained such valuable substances as, “oxytocin, prolactin, melatonin, seratonin, adenosyne triphosphate, dopamine, telomerase, and retinol.” There is another important ingredient in the mix here. De Vere explains, ” many think that only men have semen , when in fact women also have it.” And so a Starfire ritual involves the use of a golden straw. “Such a device would have been inserted into the virgin’s urethra to the depth of about one inch, whilst the partner in the rite inserted his or her finger into the vagina and massaged the ‘roof of the mouth’ or uppermost wall of the cannel nearest the opening of the vagina, behind the public bone. After a few conducive moments perhaps, orgasm would occur and the fluid from the gland would discharge itself through the straw, either into the waiting mouth of the recipient, or onto a “grail platter’ or dish held next to the vulva.” Keen readers will recognize this as being identical to a sex magick ritual advocated by Aleister Crowley for members of his “Order or Oriental Templars” (OTO). The only difference is that his rite also involved the use of male semen which was called the “Red Tincture” or “coagulated blood”, while the female fluids were called “Gluten” or “The White Tincture.” Together they made “The Elixir of Life”, and in sexual alchemy blood and semen are the primae materia or first matter of the great work. “This is the true Key to Magick”, writes Crowley. “That is, by the right use of this secret man may impose his Will on Nature herself.” Monatomic Gold: The Substitute But according to de Vere and others, ingesting the fluids of mundane women has only a slight effect, certainly not enough to maintain a royal Dragon family in the manner to which they’re accustomed. And after a few thousand years the genetic purity of their Grail maidens began to deteriorate, so the Starfire lost it’s potency. This reportedly began around 1960 BC and is equated with the time that and edict was handed down to Noah by God demanding that the consumption of all blood cease immediately. (Gen. 9:4) Thus, a substitute had to be found, and so the alchemical process was created, as a means of artificially creating the Elixir of Life, the Philosopher’s Stone, also known as “potable gold.” This is created using a black powder known as occultum, the universal solvent which has the power to transmute metals. When placed against gold it converted it into a white powder which could be ingested. It is said to cause nothing less than immortality, as it sets off a self-correcting mechanism in your DNA that lasts for thousands of years. It also bestows the enhanced melatonin production and magical powers associated with Starfire, including clairvoyance, dimension-hopping and flying capabilities. It is believed that this “white gold” is the same as the “Shew-bread” and “Manna from Heaven” mentioned in the Old Testament. Today, there are those who publicly proclaim knowledge of the Philosopher’s Stone, and a man named David Hudson claims to have created a technique for manufacturing this white gold, which he’s pattented as ORME (Orbitally Rearrangede Monatomic Elements.) Ormus is a name associated with the Holy Grail, and so readers may not be surprised to learn that Hudson himself is related to the Merovingian Grail family, through Claude de Guise. Basically, the powder is created by putting gold into a higher atomic state through a series of intense heating an cooling sessions, during which it looses and gains weight radically, as though portions of the mass were being transferred into another dimension. David Hudson continues about the magical quantum properties of his white gold: “These M-state elements have been observed to exhibit superconductivity, superfluidity, Josephson tunneling and magnetic levitation… They may enhance energy flow in the microtubules inside every living cell. Ingesting m-state gold is different effects on the body than the effects of ingesting metallic gold. At 2 mg. it totally has gotten rid of Karposi Sarcomas on AIDS patients. Within 2 hours, their white blood cell count goes from 2500 to 6500. … Stage 4 cancer patients have taken it orally, and after 45 days have no cancer left anyplace in the body. It’s been used on Lou Gehrig’s disease, it’s been used on MS, it’s been used on MD, it’s been used on arthritis. It literally corrects the DNA.” Sympathy for the Devil All of this puts a nice, friendly face on the whole thing, a secret power held only by an elite caste of Aryans who use it to lord themselves over the rest of the human population. And there are those who would say that the “substitute” white gold never did away with the original practice of blood-drinking as a method for obtaining the substances they needed. David Icke and his associate, Arizona Wilder, have campaigned the globe to inform its citizens with Chicken Little-like hysteria that most of its financiers, politicians and aristocrats are actually under the control of Reptilian beings from another dimension, who are inhabiting their bodies. “To hold their human form, these entities need to drink human (mammalian) blood and access the energy it contains to maintain their DNA codes in their ‘human’ expression. If they don’t, they manifest their reptilian codes and we would all see what they really look like.” Icke believes that most of this blood is obtained in human sacrifice rituals engaged in by the Satanic Illuminati. “From what I understand from former ‘insiders’, the blood (energy) of babies and small children is the most effective for this, as are blond-haired, blue-eyed people. Hence these are the ones overwhelmingly used in sacrifice, as are red- haired people also.” His compatriot, Arizona Wilder, goes into a bit more detail when she writes, “They have a hypnotic gaze which fixes the victim – in a trance of terror – which promotes secretion of the pineal gland – at that point, they cannot hold human form any longer and begin to shapeshift in anticipation of supper.” Wilder, claims to have witnessed Laurence Gardner drinking blood and shapeshifting during a sacrifice at Montauk, New York, as well as a number of others who were transformed during similar bloodfests, including, “Bush and his two sons, Albright, Kissinger, Reagan and Nancy, J. Rockefeller, Ford, Carter and LB Johnson, Queen Mum, Queen Liz II, Princess Margaret, Charles, Tony Blair, Prince Philip, and Zecharia Sitchin.” She acknowledges that Starfire rituals go on as well. “In the underground vaults of his castle in the Alsace Region of France, green glowing fluorescent rocks turn stored menstrual blood black to be used at that special ritual. All the British House apparently have jewel-encrusted goblets to drink the blood from the symbolic female grail and a symbolic dagger to give it a bit of a stir. Some Spencers were at these rituals, but Diana would not attend… the smell of Diana’s periods would have caused Charles to shapeshift - especially whilst sleeping because the reptiles cannot retain their human form without concentration.” This may shed new light on Prince Charles’ reported desire to become a tampon. Aware of these charges, Laurence Gardner and Nicholas de Vere have tried to clear the record. They’ve acknowledged that vampirism does take place at their rituals, but maintain that they only drink the blood of their own family members, who participate willingly. “You cannot take the essences by force, they are only given in love”, writes de Vere, otherwise, “their systems will react by producing chemicals during one’s assault upon them that will completely knock out the chemicals traditionally required.” He claims that vampirism was originally the purview of a few noble families who practiced it in order to maintain their powers. “The most famous stories”, writes de Vere, “those of Dracula, Bathory and de Rais, support this conclusion.” He and Gardner enthusiastically embrace Dracula as one of their own. “This Sacred Prince, a Hemetic scholar and initiate, a student of magic, Magus, Witch Lord and Dragon Prince, counterbalanced the bloodlust of his forebears with a refined knowledge and advanced practice of Grail procedure.” This is because he was a member of Sigismund’s Dragon Court in Hungary, and therefore of the Grail blood, and he also attended a hermetic academy called the Austrian School of Solomon. “The orthodox establishment’s fear of Dracula,” writes, Gardner, “was not his treatment of enemies but his in-depth knowledge of alchemy, kingship and the ancient Star Fire customs.” As for the claim that they use these rituals to conjure up dragon ancestors from another dimension, de Vere calmly admits that this is the case, and that the participants have their bodies taken over by these spirits, who “rise from the dead to take possession of the witch’s soul!” He further explains that, “Any spirit, including the archangels, conjured by the witch or magician was actually the ancestor of the witch. …It was carried in the witch’s blood which, the purer it was through the unbroken descent from the Dragons, the stronger would be the return from the ancestors within. In other words, they brought together and spoke or gesticulated a series of mnemonics that would trigger off precontrived, imprinted states of consciousness that acted as doorways into deeper seats of consciousness.” The charge of Satanism is not entirely refuted either, but de Vere proffers that they are not worshipping Satan so much as honoring one of their forefathers, who they stick right in the family tree along with Jesus, David and the rest. “The Sabbatical Goat of the Black Mass was Chem Zoroaster,”, he writes, “one of the early ancestors of the ancient Dragon Families,” and, “Satan was also called by the witches ‘Christ, son Dei.’ …Jesus’ heredity and the descent of he druidic dynasties…was devilish, because the descent of both bloodlines was from the Sumerian Enki who was the Akkadian Samael: the Roman Lucifer and thus the Catholic Satan.” But the Dragon Court members make no apology for this, because, “To any intelligent person, to any true seer, concepts like white or black magic or good and evil are irrational, childish nonsense; both in terms of logic and actual fact.” Every Elf For Himself “This is our Law, and the Law of the Strong.” – Crowley, ibid. To the charges of “conspiring to take over the world”, the Dragons deny that they give two licks what the rest of humanity does with itself. Their primary concern is “the restoration of their own Tribes, their own Nation and their own Homelands…. the foundation of their own distinct society…re-introducing their old social structures and values.” This results in “The Grail Code”, a system of Egalitarian, Chivalric ethics that govern how dragons treat other members of their race. However, “it is not the code that efficiently orders the behaviour of the Dragon Families in their dealings with those not of the Grail Blood.” They acknowledge and defend their own elitist attitudes towards mankind, whom they regard as “thoroughly stupid and dim-witted, with a clear indication that this condition is genetically inherited.” Whereas in contrast, “The Elves were naturally transcendent of spirit and their queens and kings were insulated from the common round of nuisances and petty concerns by minds which were bred for deeper matters.” Despite their hated of humanity, they will kindly agree to be the guardians of our governments again (if they aren’t secretly doing so already), should the population choose to accept them, and offer them the thrones of the Earth, which de Vere and friends indicate are rightfully theirs anyway. They are just waiting for mankind to realize it again. Whether we choose to or not, we will have to deal with the fact that these “Elves” seem to be in possession of a material that bestows long life as well as fantastic physical, mental, and spiritual powers, giving them a distinct advantage which they are clearly attempting to lord over us, while they allow our populations to wallow in disease, death, and spiritual degradation. As an excuse, de Vere and Gardner claim that the Starfire and White Gold are only effective for those already of the Dragon Blood anyway, because the rest of the people “won’t have the right blood serum or the right connections in their cerebral lobes.” De Vere denies the claims of most people who believe themselves to be of this bloodline. “Some people argue that because of the out-breeding of the old families, there must be millions of people ‘of the fairy blood’ living today: but such a statement flies in the face of accepted fact of history. The genuine old royal families rarely outbred at all, whilst the later, fake parvenu, tinker nobility whom people now confuse with them often did.” So that leaves little hope for you and me of ever obtaining the fruits of this magnificent “Philosopher’s Stone”, which “gives youth to the old” and is described as “ The summation of the heart’s desire.” And if such a substance were available to the public, how much would it cost? Would it be obtainable by everyone, or only the rich and privileged? What if it could be administered for free in the water supply, or was available in tablet form at your local pharmacy, covered by your health insurance policy? What would happen to our already exploding population? As a species, mankind will have to decide how to deal with the information – provided that the information is aired in public someday, and provided our “thoroughly stupid and dim-witted” populace can figure out what to do with it. Will we take advantage of what could be our greatest opportunity to advance as a species, or will we allow it to be used against us by a caste of Aryan overlords who despise us (and who are literally the spawn of Satan!) Then again, will we perhaps wish to accept their rule, and the benefits of being lead by an advanced race whose powers and insight are greater than our own.? After all, there are those who believe that civilization is created by and can only be maintained by an established elite. Would we want to meddle with that, and allow positions of power to be overrun by inferior men? Perhaps it is worth considering whether an elite can truly be created by enhancing human faculties, or whether such powers are purely in the blood. posted by boxcarro @ 2:48 PM 0 comments Tuesday, September 26, 2000 THE REPTILIAN-HUMAN CONNECTION THE REPTILIAN-HUMAN CONNECTION By: John Rhodes81994 INTRODUCTION My name is John Rhodes and I am a researcher, explorer and lecturer in the realms of ufology, occulted archaeology and metaphysics. In this report, I will be providing you with compelling evidence, gathered over many years of research, as to our genealogical connections with the overlord reptilian alien race and the occulted historical archaeology that clearly demonstrates that these reptilian beings have coexisted on this planet Earth with us for thousands of years prior to our current era. The reason that I place an emphasis on archaeology and metaphysics is because, in my opinion, they are the key elements to unlocking the secrets of the UFO phenomenon that surrounds us all in these trying times of ours. The result of the research that I am about to provide to you is not compiled by myself alone. These theories those of individuals, like myself, that have endured immense difficulties and danger in order to unveil that which has been hidden from the public for many, many years. These individuals remain unknown at present due to reasons of survival, however, it is not only our duty, but it is time to unveil this information for all to hear, see and contemplate upon, for we are about to shift our shared reality. Today, we are all witnessing a simultaneous deterioration of geopolitical and geological stability, increase of UFO abduction related phenomenon and a rapidly changing climatological environment. The psychological pressure associated with these shifts in reality is compounded by the fact that many believe that we are experiencing the unfolding of prophecies handed down to us by generations passed. We have all been told through the prophecies of many religions and cultures around the world that our generation will witness the unveiling or the “revelation” of the true reality in which we live. Our species is struggling with impeding global disaster brought upon us by natural and man made causes, thus we find ourselves desperately reaching into the shadows for answers. I believe that this is no more evident than in our interest in “New Age.” The information that “New Age” is founded upon is not new at all. Long ago, secret societies made every effort to remove the truly powerful esoteric knowledge from public libraries so they could drunkenly abuse and use it to dominate Earth’s inhabitants. Many of the sacred mysteries that enable one to attain their true source of inner power have existed here in on the American continent for thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years. UFOs, alien beings, cosmic cycles, atomic manifestation and other “mysterious phenomenon” still survive within the legend, myth and lore of the red race of beings known as the American Indian. By studying these stories and those of other ancient civilizations, we can translate the truth into modern day linguistics and expand our view of the reality in which we belong. Archaic wisdom transforms our spiritual link with corporeal matter. The words may change and the cryptic way in which brotherhoods have passed down secrets may have become more difficult to decipher, but “the truth is out there” for us to discover . . . if you want it. I do not question whether or not aliens or their craft are here on our planet. After all, historical documentation, video tapes, abduction cases, leaked government information and numerous other data confirm their existence. The most important question, in my opinion, happens to be “Who are the main players?” and “How do we fit into the ‘big’ plan?” Throughout the history of extraterrestrial contact, many different types of alien beings have reportedly stated that they are not able to interfere to any great extent with human beings or their affairs. If this is true, then why are we receiving an increasingly larger number of abduction and contactee reports that repeatedly describe two types of intelligent life forms, those of the Grey and Reptilian aliens? Why do they have exclusive rights to interfere with our species when other alien beings do not? If interaction between these beings and our own species has been occurring throughout history, as legend and myth would have us believe, then where is the supporting evidence as to their existence. Where are they from and why are they so interested in us? Before we proceed further, lets answer the questions as to who these beings are and where the historical connections are that reveal their presence. COLD BLOOD IN ANCIENT SUMERIA According to the ancient writings and petroglyphs of the area of our Earth considered to be the cradle of humanity, namely Mesopotamia or Iraq, there existed a god like race of beings that ruled over a region of the Tigris-Euphrates river valley known as Sumeria. This society apparently flourished around 3500 B.C. and was remarkably advanced in their culture. According to their sand pitted records, their rulers or “gods” were humanoid creatures of extraterrestrial origin that descended in magical crafts, or rocket like ships. Their image was cast into history in the form of reptilian-humanoid statuettes that over fired to a green hue color. The surviving clay tablets from this area of the world declare that before Homosapiens walked upon the Earth, these “gods” did much of their own manual labor. In order to achieve a higher standard of living, this nonhuman society genetically created a new form of life by mixing their own DNA with that of the evolutionary mammalian man or “Ape-Man.” The successful results of this experiment yielded a new breed of worker class known as Homosapiens. In the beginning, apparently, these god-like race of beings immensely enjoyed the benefit of having their slaves endure the hardships of manual labor. Excavation, farming, building and mining operations were the toil of this new born race. This labor, however, was not provided willingly. It was forced through the use of severe and ruthless governorship. These, not so bright, beings suffered greatly under the firm rule of their strange looking gods and their misery did not go unnoticed by a few of the nonhuman masters. According to the Sumerian tablets, inside the god society, a conspiracy was brewing to free Homo sapiens from their bonds of slavery and teach them the spiritual and scientific knowledge necessary to uplift their essence to a god-like stature. Apparently, the name of this rebellious reptilian being leader was Enlil or Ea. EA EXPERIMENTS IN HIS DEN The Sumerian tablets tell us that the rebel God called Ea was the extraterrestrial being that controlled the genetic creation of Homosapiens in abeyance to the instructions of his superiors. After his involvement with the original genetic experiment, his compassion for the plight of the slave race shifted his role as a genetic engineer to that of a freedom fighter. It is also related that Ea’s headquarters was in a swamp like area he called “Snake Marsh” because it was also a den to many reptiles or snakes. In other words, the first fight for freedom took place in an area known as Ea-Den. It’s an interesting point that, according to Biblical text, a snake or “reptilian” not only seduced Eve, the first female caretaker of the garden, away from the arms of Adam, but also gave them knowledge in a beautiful garden called E-DEN. We are also told that this was done against the wishes of his superior and, as punishment for this treasonous act, the progressive reptilian and his cohorts were ordered to remain underground, within the vast cavern systems of the earth. Along with this punishment, it was ruled that the reptilian was to never interfere with humans again and that their generations will not only not know of each other, but will learn to hate each other. This last declaration was initiated by changing the name of the reptilian being from “Lucifer” which literally means the bringer of light or knowledge to “Satan” or adversary. The Sumerian texts also relate a somewhat similar fate for the reptilian being called Ea. The teachings of the reptilian Ea, thereafter referred to as the esoteric mysticism of the snake brotherhood, caused a major shift in the perceptions of reality for the early Homosapiens. It is in the assorted descriptions of this turning point in human evolution that we get our first glimpse as to what these advanced beings actually looked like in comparison to our own physical characteristics. THE REBELLIOUS TEACHER For the sake of mental focus, the following example is taken primarily from the Christian Bibles Book of Genesis. It’s deeply rooted symbolism is thought, by some people, to be a compilation of occulted Genesis legend or physical beginnings from all spiritual beings around the world. This is important to remember because one must be aware of the fact that I am in no way attempting to push anyone religion in this presentation. The historical description of reptilian beings having had a monumental influence on human evolution can be seen in the multi cultural symbolism and myth surrounding the tree of knowledge. The symbolical tree of knowledge, the Palm tree in Ea-Den, is depicted as having a trunk around which a half-man, half-snake being is entwined. It is from this tree that the rebellious reptilian taught the human, Eve. As the information was absorbed by Eve and hence passed onto Adam, their perceptions of awareness and reality quickly shifted, rendering the two in a severe state of shock and fear (thus, it is said that a person who is totally unaware of the reality in which they live, resides in an “Edenic state”). The legend explains that, soon thereafter, they both ran from the voice of God, not because they had their first sexual relationship with each other or that they were shy of their nakedness, it was because they were suddenly aware that there was a profound physical difference between the Gods and themselves. The reptilians had scales covering their bodies as a form of protection from the elements and the Homosapiens suddenly realized that they didn’t. Until this time, the Homo sapiens had no conception that they were in any way physically different from their reptilian counterparts. They had finally leapt from their childlike ignorance of their situation into to the realization that they were intended, by design, to be tillers of the field and slaves to the other reptilian overlords. Years later other messengers also arrived upon the scene and, once again, attempting to free mankind from the bondage of slavery by teaching spiritual and magical knowledge. They also were punished severely by the rulers of the population. One difference was, however, that instead of being labeled “Satans” or adversaries, one was named Quetzalcoatl or “Feathered Snake” and the other the Savior Yashua, or Christ. The symbolism of the tree of knowledge is not limited to the Christians, but it is also represented by the Banyan tree from under whose branches the East Indian God Krishna sat upon a coiled serpent and bestowed upon man spiritual knowledge. Another reptilian God whose death upon a crucifix was etched into stone was that of Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent god of the great Toltec and Aztec civilization. The wooden crucifix upon which those that endowed knowledge upon mankind are crucified represents, not only the sigil of the supreme God called the Tau or ankh, but the crucifix also represents the trunk and branches of the tree of knowledge. For their teachings, they were killed. The remarkable fact is that throughout all ancient and modern civilizations, the serpent or dragon bestowing knowledge upon the human race figures prominently in all religions and histories. The Christian reptilian or “fallen angel” LUCIFER, the Mayan serpent God QUETZALCOATL, the enormous plumed serpent God of the Hopi Indians, BAHOLINKONGA, the East Indian mystical human like reptilians known as NAGAS, the Egyptian serpent God KNEPH, The Phoenicians AGATHODEMON and even the Hebrews NAKHUSHTAN or Brazen Serpent that led Moses and the Israelites through the desert by pillar of cloud and fire. These are but a few of the vast amount of records that exist world wide and describe their early gods as having reptilian-human like physical features as well as having descended from the heavens or stars. From within the shadows and crevices of the earth their influence upon all mankind can be no more evident than when one considers the ancient British god who was considered “The Dragon-Ruler of the World.” His subjects called him HU – thus we call ourselves Hu-Man! REPTILIANS PRESENT – NO ARTISTS/PHOTOGRAPHERS ALLOWED! One might ask that if these reptilians once openly roamed the Earth with Homosapiens, why aren’t there any pieces of art that clearly depict them as bipedal snake gods? The answer to that may lay within one common religious law that most of these ancient cultures still adhere to, either by their own ignorance of the reptilians physical appearance or out of pure obedience, and that is the law that one is forbidden to make idols or drawings of anything that is in heaven. The Hopi Indians to this day refuse to recreate the images of their reptilian ancestors because they fear an instant death. The closest imagery that was ever allowed to remain was cryptically tucked away in the Hebrew or Christian works of the Books of Genesis and the Exodus. As we have already gone over the symbolism of the reptilian in the cradle of humanity or Garden of Eden, it can only be said that we must remember that Lucifer was considered an angel who fell from the heavens. Yet we are told at the same time that he was a snake. And although Moses declared that his God said not to make idols or images to false Gods, he placed a snake upon his staff and proclaimed to his people that he who looks upon this image will be healed. This is the origination of the physicians’ caduceus. Could it be that late one evening, during a solitary walk outside the Israelite’s encampment, Moses had an encounter with one of these reptilian beings that were flying this pillar of smoke and fire? Could this have been the reason he considered this snake upon his staff a real image of God and not a false one? It makes one wonder. Obviously, if these snake people or reptilians really did once openly live amongst the Homosapien population, they have gone to extreme extent not to be revealed since they went into hiding. Could it be that part of the great Biblical Revelation prophecy is the unveiling of the reptilian presence on Earth? THEY WHO HIDE TRUTH We are now aware that numerous societies record, as the Sumerians did, that the reptilian half-man, half-snake empowered Hu-mans with the knowledge necessary to be free from the grips of their slave masters. But, what happened to the spiritually powerful knowledge that was given to us “gardeners of the planet” by the original reptilian Ea as his cohorts? After all, his plans were to free us from slavery, right? Well, some would say that we are still enslaved within a carefully constructed illusion. I would tend to agree. So, what happened? What has kept us from reaching our fullest potential? Many of the individuals, in the course of written history, who have given the masses powerful information, whether it’s political or spiritual, have had either their credibility destroyed or their bodies destroyed. Most of the times it’s both. If the information has taken root before it can be erased, then history has demonstrated that newly founded “insurgence” groups or movements are quickly infiltrated by the opposition and allowed to flourish under the guidance of their own secret shadows. This is not only a premise by which groups struggle for control in affairs of war, secret societies and politics, but also the struggle of balance of power in religion. The mystical knowledge given to man by the snake brotherhood suffered under this same manipulation. For thousands of years, the high priests of religion encrypted the mystical knowledge that was passed onto the humans by the reptilian race and used that knowledge to control, manipulate and spiritually enslave those at the bottom of the pyramid. Reptilian beings displayed both benevolent and evil characteristics at different times in history. They have taught peace, love, spirituality, healing and knowledge of the sciences and, as the Delaware Indians describe in their ancestral mythology, they have rained down destruction upon the Earth in the name of God. This is why various cultures recognize the reptilian image as effigies of the balance of nature. In other words . . . Good-Evil, Negative-Positive. It is, perhaps, not to far out to imagine that on some other planet or in some other dimension, the human figure might also symbolize both aspects of good and evil, positive and negative. The symbolism and resemblances of each of these god-like beings from around the world is too similar to have been simple imaginary god-forms from totally unconnected parts of the planet. There had to be a more influential factor at work in ancient times, but what could it have been? There are three explanations which could answer this puzzling question. One, primitive cave dwelling settlements around the world were naturally drawn to the reptilian image because they had somehow retained a genetic memory of their reptilian heritage. Two, highly advanced spiritual beings that had reptilian physical characteristics assimilated themselves into various social structures in order to influence the trend of spiritual progression. Three, all of the ancient civilizations sensed their genetic connections to the reptile AND reptilian beings influenced their spiritual evolution throughout history. I believe, that both influences were at work and I will expand on and prove my theory in just a few moments. It is in this researcher’s opinion that these records, when carefully and open mindedly studied, reflect a historical foundation upon which all modern day extraterrestrial contacts or abductions can be based. We have evolved as a species and our progression has been carefully monitored by the elusive reptilian race that live within the cavernous Earth itself. If it is true that we are genetically descended from a mixture of ape man and a bipedal, intelligent reptilian species, then what evidence, other than legends and historical documentation supports our theory? Where lays the personal connection, the physical proof? To answer these questions, it is important to address a little known fact regarding the formation of the human embryo in the womb. THE PHYSICAL CONNECTION During the formative stages of intrauterine development, the fetus undergoes several different phases of genetically encoded evolution. Deep within the information pool of the gene, instructions are given to the forming cells to repeat the major evolutionary steps that link us to the non primate mammals, reptiles and fish before we finally reach the recognizable form of the human being. At one point, our primordial genetic information even creates gills for the embryo. These, of course, disappear as development continues. In the fourth week, the human embryo is remarkably similar to the embryos of birds, pigs and sheep and remains that way until the eighth week, then it takes on dissimilar physical characteristics. In some cases of evolutionary throwback, as according to the Oxford Monographs on Medical Genetics no. 27, the genetic chain of command sometimes forgets to continue onwards in their evolutionary reenactment, leaving some babies with actual tails. These “caudal appendages,” as they are called, form at the lower lumbar area and are generally hairless. Although most of these cases are immediately attended to by surgeons in order to protect the families from adverse ridicule, in some third worlds countries where surgery is unavailable, the children quickly adapt to their tails and live out normal lives. It is interesting to note that in some of these cases the tail wags during moments of excitation. Now that we have covered the fact that passing glimpses into our evolutionary heritage can be witnessed during the formation of our fetuses, we can proceed to discover which part of this re enactment was so pronounced that it permanently formed within us and provided our strongest primordial link. One late evening I happened to be watching a television interview with Carl Sagan in which the audience members were asking him questions. When asked what he thought of the crop circle phenomenon, He replied, and I’ll paraphrase here, “Don’t you know that it has been proven that all of these, so-called crop circles, are hoaxes created by two gentlemen in England. They’ve admitted it.” He went on to say that the media loves a UFO angle and that they purposely ignore the confessions of two older gentlemen in order to sensationalize. When I heard this, I thought that there’s no way that a man as intelligent as he claims to be could be so blatantly ignorant, that is unless he is the mouth piece of the federal government. If that was the case, then it is only human nature to wonder what’s in it for him. It is in my opinion that the information about our genetic heritage and relationship with the reptilian alien beings that live on our planet was shared with Mr. Sagan as a gift for his expected continued secrecy and servitude to certain authorities within the federal government. Accompanying this “gift” of truth, I believe, was a promise of increased fame and fortune in return for his performing the duties of disinformation in regards to the flying saucer phenomenon this is why he has continually ridiculed anything that even hints of extraterrestrial contact. As long as he plays “their” game of information management, he will be allowed to release certain information in a very unobtrusive and cryptic fashion. All this, of course, was done under the watchful eyes of his superiors. Evidence of a portion of this “leak” is written within the pages of his book The Dragons of Eden in which “speculates” upon the evolution of human intelligence. In Mr. Sagan’s aptly named book The Dragons of Eden, it is emphasized that in our search for the evolution of human intelligence, it is extremely important that we do not ignore the most ancient part of the human brain upon which all other segments are but additions. According to the neuroanatomist Paul MacLean, that ancient area of the “triune” brain, is driven by another prehistoric region that some neuroanatomist call the R-Complex or the Reptilian-Complex. It is called the R-Complex because we share this particular structure of the brain with reptiles. Mr. Sagan carefully points out the fact that the human brain develops from the inside out, building itself atop the brain stem and in order of evolutionary sequence. First, the neural chassis, which regulates the heart, blood and respiration, is grown. After this has occurred, the R-complex, the area of the brain that is thought to house the most primordial intelligence, is developed. The limbic system and neocortex are later additions to this central core. MacLean also states that the R-complex plays an important role in the aggressive behavior, territoriality, ritualism and establishment of social hierarchies. (which, by the way, are behavioral and social qualities that are frequently expressed by reptilian beings during abductions and contacts) Much or our own behavior as human beings is ruled by this archaic region of the brain, and as Mr. Sagan himself so eloquently phrases it . . . “It does no good whatsoever to ignore the reptilian component of human nature, particularly our ritualistic and hierarchical behavior. On the contrary, the model may help us understand what human beings are all about.” Throughout The Dragons of Eden, one can find other subtle hints as to his true knowledge of our genetic connection with the reptilian beings that have played an important role in our species existence. He mentions how much of our behavior is even expressed in reptilian terms, such as “cold blooded” killer and that the common human sounds commanding silence or attracting attention being that of hissing snakes. These and other clues pervade his book right down to the M.C. Escher illustration of two reptilian iguanas floating in a three-dimensional Star of David in space. Along with the fact that the pheromone of women and female iguanas are a chemical match(Omni, May 94), here lie the reasons why the reptilian beings are so interested in our genetic evolution. We are more physically and mentally connected to reptiles than previously understood, so their interest in us is justified when one realizes that we may be, as myth and legends have related, actual reptilian genetic offspring. This connection may now allow one to understand why the abductions and clinical experimentation on humans beings are being carried out by the elusive reptilian race. It may also be because some things never change, even since the days of Eden. I cannot, however, complete this discussion about Carl Sagan without quoting a passage from his book for it truly brings forth that which Mr. Sagan has tried to hide between the lines. G.K. Chesterton once wrote: “You can free things from alien or accidental laws, but not from the laws of their own nature . . . Do not go about . . . encouraging triangles to break out of the prison of their three sides. If a triangle breaks out of its three sides, its life comes to a lamentable end.” (By the way, I find it somewhat bewildering that someone who understands the reptilian part of the brain so well is named Sagan, because his name spelled backwards is that of the mystical east Indian reptilian Gods, the-NAGAS!) AS ABOVE, SO BELOW As reported in the beginning of this discussion, reptilians have coexisted on this planet with us since history began. And, as eluded to in Genesis, divisions of these reptilians remained behind in the cavernous regions of the Earth whilst the creators ventured outward across the face of the deep waters or space. Legends from different parts of the globe all tell of underworld inhabited by mystical beings of varied forms. I believe that the reptilian races, consisting of both benevolent and evil beings, still reside to this day underground, hidden away in the dark crevices of the Earth and in the depths of the oceans. The evidence supporting this proclamation is also available through recent reports and historical documentation. First, and most important, is our understanding that our own United States government has duped us to believe that the wonders of the universe lie beyond our reach. That our progress to understanding who and what we are as intelligent, life forms rest solely on the efforts of the inept workings of NASA, JPL and a myriad of other money sucking aerospace corporations. Almost fifty years of continued rat experiments outside the envelope of our planet and we are to believe that this is the ultimate pace of human exploration! This is absolutely not the case. Publicly viewed space exploration is nothing more that a magic show and, as most people realize, when the magician says to look at his right hand, his left is doing all the work. Such is the case with exploration. If you really want to get to see the big show, don’t look above your head, look below your feet. Investigation into the interior of the Earth began with map surveyors and explorers venturing out into unknown territory in order to chart the wilderness. Once in a while, they’d come across a cave or cavern and then descend into its depths to hopefully find treasures or artifacts. Once these hollowed out recesses of the Earth along the coastlines were discovered, their location was kept secret and certain groups of individuals purchased the properties. They used, and still use, their subterranean chambers for illegal activities, social gatherings or modes of concealed travel for reasons of their own. Some say that Washington, D.C. was purposely established above a huge catacomb, so certain Freemasonic fraternities and the like could utilize their hidden corridors while governing the nation. I believe that may have been the case. Large oil interests modernized seismic technology and geological exploration with an ever increasing pace. Due to this wave of subsurface exploration, more and more artifacts were discovered that defied mainstream historical and explanation. As these artifacts were collected by USGS and Smithsonian Institution employees, they were concealed from the public, carefully studied by unknown entities within and outside of the Federal administration and then mysteriously lost. As years wore on, more and more mystifying archaeological discoveries were made. Those who studied these artifacts were well aware of the fact that things were not as they appeared to be, so it must have been of little surprise to these scientists and archaeologists when Kenneth Arnold spotted his first UFO or flying DINO-Saucer vehicle while flying his private airplane over Washington state June 24th, 1947. It was also around this time that our government began to build a vast web bunker systems connected by tube shuttles. After all, they were now dealing with a highly advanced species that could wipe out a surface structure with no problem as well as a cold war threat with the former Soviet Union. Ensuring governmental survival was a priority. It was also around this time in history that underground nuclear testing was being performed for military and peaceful purposes. One such series of tests was called project Plowshare. DULCE BASE – ALTERNATE PERCEPTIONS In the early 1960s, a subterranean nuclear blast occurred about 30 miles southwest of Dulce, New Mexico right off U.S. 64. This nuclear blast was conducted under the umbrella project Plowshare, and was named project Gassbuggy. It has recently been alleged that this particular subsurface nuclear blast was used to create a hollowed out chute or chimney for development of a substation for a super secret tunnel system attached to an underground black book project base known as Dulce Base. According to Thomas Edwin Castello, a former Dulce Base security officer, this particular underworld city is a highly secret base operated by humans as well as reptilian aliens and their worker cast, the commonly encountered greys. It is here, apparently, that a multitude of experimentation projects are carried out. The projects are, apparently, primarily genetic in nature and are carried out either men, women or children that have been declared missing by authorities. There is a myriad of other specialty science projects taking place at Dulce base including, but not limited to, Atomic manipulation, cloning, studies of the human aura, advanced mind control applications, animal/human crossbreeding, visual and audio wiretapping, the list goes on. If it was true that this base existed long before human occupation, then it construction and layout may possibly tell us something about its original occupants, the reptilians. We know this because the sacred teachings of ancient metaphysics relate that imagery created by ritualistic and intelligent beings often contain information occulted in symbolism. The Dulce base floor plan was illustrated, as per the originals by Thomas Castello, and released in 1994. When inspected carefully, it’s layout appears to be extremely well planned. From a vertical viewpoint, it resembles a wheel with a central hub and corridors radiating outwards like spokes. This “hub” is the focal point of the entire base. It is surrounded by central security and extends through all levels of the base. I believe this core to be the Achilles heel of the entire facility. It probably contains fiber optic communications and power lines. This would justify its highly guarded and central location as well as explain its vertical continuation through all levels. With all communication lines and power lines focused towards the hub, it is possible that any level could be completely “locked down” by its own security or the security hubs from either above or below its own level. This would provide maximum control over the entire facility. The “spokes” or corridors radiating away from the central hub, lead to numerous other labs in five different directions. Connect the spokes and a pentagon is revealed in its design. From above, this base resembles the layout of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Complete with halls, walls and military insignias! Since we do not have the exact heading of its corridors, magnetic alignments are impossible to determine. When viewed laterally, its appearance takes on the look of a tree with a trunk at its center and its floors extending outwards like the branches. If this is a facility of science, then one could easily say that its lateral appearance is like that of the tree of knowledge. Was this purposely designed this way or does it just happen to be a coincidence? The overall design of this facility reminds one of a multi stacked subterranean Hopi Indian kiva. Although I believe that it’s somewhat of a disservice to the Hopi to even be spoken of in association with a cave of horrors like the Dulce Base, its similarity in design should not be forgotten. As cultures around the world tend to bring their own styles of architecture with them during periods of migration, so perhaps did the advanced civilization that original built Dulce Base. And, if the reptilian influence over man is as great as archaic documentation and myth would have one believe, then there have to be other subterranean dwellings similar to this in other locations. If we locate another subsurface habitation similar in appearance to the Dulce base and linked it to a reptilian or snake legend, we will have obtained supporting evidence as to the reality of the Dulce facility and our reptilian overlords. In my personal quest to investigate and discover these connections, my journey led took me to the mystical land of the North American Indians. The Four Corners of the world. HOPI – THE REPTILIAN EXAMPLE OF SPIRITUALITY? In the southwestern region of the United States, specifically the four corners area of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, one can find remnants of the most ancient of all American Indian cultures. The Hopi Indian tribe. The Hopi live out their fairly non progressive and ritualistic lives atop mesas on a reservation located in the north eastern portion of Arizona. They originated from the eastern part of the Grand Canyon and slowly migrated eastward to where they reside today. Surrounded by the progressive and formerly nomadic Navaho nation, they await the forthcoming Great Purification or, as many people call it, the day of Revelation. The religion and myth of the Hopi Indian are based upon the worship of the snake. Their legend of Genesis also recounts how reptilians or snake people played an important part in their ancestry. Today, the ancestors of the Hopi tribes are referred to as their Snake brothers or El-der brothers and their reverence towards their reptilian ancestors is evident throughout all ceremonies of the Hopi Indians. When their most sacred of all underground kiva rituals are performed, that of the Snake dance, rattlesnakes are present to hear their prayers. These snakes are then later released into the wilderness so as they can return to the gods of the Underworld with the tribes prayers. According to Hopi myth, they used to live in a great subterranean underworld alongside a race of beings called the Ant people. These Ant people, which might by today’s standards be considered grey aliens, helped feed and clothe the Hopi during their lives in the Underworld. One day, under the direction of their matriarchal Goddess Spider woman, they ascended to the surface by way of a hollowed bamboo shoot which sprung forth through an opening in the ceiling of their cave called the Sipapuni. They say that soon after their arrival on the surface, a mocking bird came along and confused the language of the Hopi, the results of which encouraged them to break up into small clans of different languages. This is remarkably similar to the story of the Tower of Babel. One day soon there after, an exceedingly bright star, or star-ship, appeared above them in the sky. Believing it was a God, they followed it during it’s journey across the sky. They did so until it stopped in one place. When it stopped, some of the Hopi remained and settled. When the star later appeared, the other Hopi followed it until it stopped once again. This continued until all the Hopi were settled. This is the Hopi description of the original planting of their race. The myths of the Hopi Genesis would be considered, as others, based upon fantasy and imagination if it wasn’t for one, solitary discovery that was made by a man traveling down the Colorado river aboard a skiff in the Grand Canyon almost ninety-five years ago. That mans name was Kincaid and his discovery was that of the Hopi Indian underworld or the Sipapuni. THE GREATEST STORY EVER ATTEMPTED TO BE TOLD On March 12th, 1909, a small article appeared in the Arizona Gazette newspaper announcing the arrival in of a man by the name of G.E. Kincaid, who had just completed a Colorado river rafting trip from Green River, Wyoming. He stated that he enjoyed his trip and planned on returning the following winter for another run at the Colorado River. He also mentioned his discovery of some “interesting artifacts” which he was mailing to the Smithsonian Institution. Three weeks, three days later on April 5th, 1909, a front page article appeared in the Arizona Gazette (article attached to this report) in which Kincaid is interviewed in detail about his archaeological find. This discovery of Kincaids, as notably remarked in the article, was to be considered the most significant archaeological find in the world throughout all history. As the article is quite long and detailed, I will only briefly repeat the most important facts concerning this discovery that will help us throw light upon our search. Mr. Kincaid had apparently discovered a massive underground city that was cut into a wall of the Grand Canyon with the precision equaled only to that of the Great Pyramid. The highly advanced civilization that inhabited this subterranean city was of unknown origin, although several different artifacts were found, such as a Buddha, mummies and hieroglyphics, that were of Oriental, Egyptian and central American origin. As the Smithsonian Institution archaeological team, spearheaded by a professor S.A. Jordan, continued their treks into the depths of this city, they discovered hundreds of rooms. Some rooms were as small as an average living room and others as large as several hundred feet in length and breadth. It was estimated that the area explored so far by the team could have comfortably housed fifty thousand people! The location of this discovery was veiled in secrecy because, as Mr. Kincaid put it “They don’t want to be disturbed.” His only clues were that is was about 42 miles north of the Crystal creek. After the completion of his interview and the printing of this story the next day in the Arizona Gazette newspaper, not a single thing was ever mentioned about it again publicly until the original article resurfaced once again three years ago. So spin the wheels of secrecy and conspiracy. THE DULCE-SIPAPUNI-REPTILIAN CONNECTION Upon reviewing the article in detail, I was able to discern Three immensely important clues as to whom the occupants and their rulers may have been. The first clue has to do with the Sipapuni’s builders or stone masons. If there is an underground city in the Grand Canyon that is large enough to house fifty thousand people, as Kincaid would have us believe, then the engineering skills needed to construct such a underworld would have rivaled those used to create the Great Pyramid of Gizeh and the other highly engineered stone fortresses and temple platforms that are scattered across the Earth. Except for Kincaids remarks as to the antiquity of this underground citadel, he said that it appears to have been built many years previous to the Christian era. Could it have been built in the same era as was the Great Pyramid? Could it have been created by the same hands that built the other anomalous structures around the world? These questions become even more intriguing when one realizes another absolutely fantastic “coincidence.” It has been seriously speculated by many well-known researchers and archaeologists that the original great Pyramid may have been built under the direction of the Sumerian reptilian gods and by the labor of the first Mediterranean and world travelers called the Phoenicians. Is it just another coincidence that not far from this area of Arizona lies the great city if Phoenix and that the inhabitants refer to themselves as Phoenicians? Was this some strange coincidence or is it an occulted signature from those in the know? The second clue is the fact that is that when Kincaid discovered the Sipapuni, he discovered a floor plan that was remarkable similar to that of the Dulce Base. In Kincaids own words that he describes the Sipapuni floor plan as having “a mammoth chamber from which radiates scores of passageways, like the spokes of a wheel.” This is the same configuration as to that of Dulce Base, the underground facility that is reported to have been originally occupied by the reptilian being species. The third, and most important, factor is that both underground worlds are associated with reptilian beings. Thomas Castello, the man claiming to have been a former security officer in the Dulce Base, said that the commanders of the nonhuman grey alien beings were humanoid reptilian creatures that were tall and had vertical slit pupils. The Hopi mythology and oral traditions, on the other hand, state that their EL-der brothers had snake forms and were the rulers of the underworld. These two perspectives are strikingly similar, with the only difference being that one is derived from history and the other from our present era. In all, there exists a combination of three important elements that are apparently shared by both underground facilities or cities. One, they are both huge underground cities. Two, they both have a similar floor plan design and Three, they are both associated with reptilian overlords. Are these associations coincidental or are we beginning to reveal a pattern of some sort? Most importantly, after three years of intense research and field explorations into the Grand Canyon area, I believe that I have finally located the Hopi Sipapuni underworld that G.E. Kincaid initially discovered in 1909. I have acquired physical evidence indicating anomalous activity occurring during that time period, new interpretations of an ancient Hopi prophecy supports the “story” of Kincaids discovery and I, and a close colleague of mine, have stood upon the same ground where Kincaid once stood in awe. Evidence of this recent discovery has been relayed to several key people across the United States for security purposes. A more detailed report of this discovery is forthcoming and will be made available to the public in the very near future. SUMMATION Various pieces of evidence accumulatively indicate a strong relationship between the human and reptilian species. Mytho-histories of aboriginal tribes across the world record their presence on the surface of the Earth. Underground cities that are reported to exist in the southwestern United States, such as Dulce base and the Hopi Indian Sipapuni, appear to have been constructed by reptilian beings, experiencer reports continue to describe contacts with nonhuman life forms that have a reptilian anatomy and the human brain reminds us of how the human race evolved from reptiles.. This reptiliform influence is more than just symbolism. It appears to be a manifested reality in our lives that refuses to disappear. The reptilian beings are on Earth now, they always have been on this planet and, if we can overcome our inherent fear of the reptilian image and understand how it has been used against us, we will one day realize that, although we are physically different, we are from the same primordial essence. I LEAVE YOU WITH ONE LAST THOUGHT I end this article with one last thing for you to think about and that is that as we near the end of the millennium, several prophecies appear to be becoming fulfilled. The most important one being witnessed in Mexico City which is built upon the ancient Aztec capital Tenochtitlan. It is here that during the solar eclipse in 1991, a gradually escalating wave of UFO sightings began and continue to this day. Could this signal, as once promised long ago, the return of the plumed feathered serpent God Quetzalcoatl? Time will tell posted by boxcarro @ 3:56 AM Monday, June 26, 2000 from CBNKnowledgeBase Website The Star-Fire Ceremony The Templar flag Columbus and da Gama traveled under was the dominant economic (and therefore if for no other reason) force in the three centuries before they set sail. Not just in Europe as we have shown, but in the entire world, these progeny of the Phoenician Brotherhood ended feudal socio-political strangleholds and opened the way for new possibilities. For these reasons and the eventual weakening of the church influence and Inquisitions (though that is what the church started against THEM!) we can truly be thankful. This superficial evaluation is only one aspect of what we analyzed with input from all available quarters and presented a real and true threat from the continued macho or competitive nature of those in pursuit of power. Their progeny has lost much of the righteous underpinnings of the Templar zeal. Needless to say their influence has not been exposed in the cultural history of our various media including schools. Therefore constant harping on the subject is somewhat warranted. I only seek to set the stage for their specific history and influence on the time of Marco Polo and another ’fiction’ that was used to create the impression that there was a need for ’discovery’ of the ’New World’. The idea that the land of the Dragons in China was not part of a world order continues to the present. There are many perspectives on the origin of the Templars and why they were given Papal ’carte-blanche’ but let me quote Gardner again to see something far more ancient than most scholars purporting to know when Templars or Masons became a part of our cultural fabric. He is talking about a re-structuring of much more ancient mystery schools at this juncture. “It has long been a customary Jewish practice to hang meat for blood-letting before cooking and consumption, but in contrast the Christian faith is especially concerned with the figurative ingestion of blood. In the Christian tradition it is customary to take the Communion sacrament (the Eucharist), wherein wine is drunk from the sacred chalice, symbolically representing the blood of Jesus, the life-blood of the Messianic line. Could it be, therefore, that the modern Christian custom is an unwitting throwback to some distant pre-Noah rite of actually ingesting blood? If so, then since we also know that the chalice is a wholly female symbol which has always been emblematic of the womb, might this even have been an extract from divine menstrual blood which, as we have seen (Chapter 10), was revered as life-giving ’Star-Fire’? The answer to these questions is yes, that was precisely the custom – but it was not so unsavoury as it might seem. (1) Few of us think to enquire about the ultimate sources of many of today’s bodily supplements, and those in the know are generally reluctant to tell us. The premarin hormone, for example, is made from the urine of pregnant mares, while some forms of growth hormone and insulin are manufactured from ’E.coli’, a human faecal bacterium. Before considering this ancient practice in detail, it is worth reminding ourselves that the edict to abstain from blood came not from Enki the Wise but from Enlil-Jehovah, the god of wrath and vengeance who had instigated the Flood, wrought havoc in Ur and Babylon and endeavoured to deceive Adam with regard to the Tree of Knowledge. This was not a god who liked people and the Sumerian records are very clear in this regard. If he forbade the intake of blood, this was not likely to have been an edict for the benefit of Noah and his descendants – it was most probably to their detriment. The menstrual Star Fire (’Elixir Rubeus’) of the goddess, being essentially regarded as fluid intelligence, was symbolically represented as the all-seeing eye (the circle with a dot again), or as the fiery cross (the ’rosi-crucis’ – the Circle with the cross), precisely as depicted in the Mark of Cain. The emblems were later used by the mystery school of ancient Egypt, particularly that of the priest-prince Ankhfn-khonsu (c.2170 BC – Check out Crowley’s Book of the Law and the name at the end of it), which was formally established as the Dragon Court by the twelfth-dynasty Queen Sobeknefru. Another of the most prominent mystery schools was the Great White Brotherhood of Rameses III (c. 1450 BC) – so called, it is often said, because of their white raiment, but actually named because of their preoccupation with a mysterious white powder (Through ’high-spin’ atomic attunement able to levitate the pyramid blocks, he says). According to the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, there were thirty-nine men and women on the High Council of the Brotherhood, who sat at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor. (2) A branch off this Order became more generally known as the Egyptian Therapeutae, who in Heliopolis and Judaea, were identified as the Essenes. (3) It was into this White Brotherhood of wise therapeutics and healers (the original Rosicrucians) that Jesus was later initiated to progress through the degrees, and it was his high standing in this regard which gained him the often used designation of ’Master’… ’essaios’: that is, something secret or mystic. (In the Norse tradition, the gods are called the ’Asen’, the guardians of purity, and the word has a similar root.)… In the hermetic lore of the ancient Egyptian mystery school, this process of achieving enlightened consciousness was of express importance, with spiritual regeneration taking place by degrees through the thirty-three vertebrae of the spinal column (including the tail bones or sacrum and coccyx) until reaching the pituitary gland which invokes the pineal body. The science of this regeneration is one of the ’Lost Keys’ of Freemasonry, and it is the reason why ancient Freemasonry was founded upon thirty-three degrees. (4) Though they have impressive pedigrees and lots of nice myths I am sure their knowledge is limited by the lack of ethics entailed in the elitist attitudes and acts of their members. Levitation and use of cosmic thought field potentials including one dimensional harmonic force and the probable ’Lost Chord’ pre-dates these people, in my mind or point of view. MacDari is a Masonic linguist who suggests this time was even before the building of the Sphinx, and he says Phre-Masonry of the Lord Sun God Iesa was an early Brotherhood of Man that Jesus was named after. Gardner admits to ’pre-Noah’ knowledge and probably has an open-mind about earlier roots, but his story focuses on the Bible and the Pendragon Grail legends. References 1) Pritchard, James B.

The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future.

The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine “goes beyond search” by “looking at the ‘invisible links’ between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events.”

The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online “momentum” for any given event.

“The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases,” says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.

Which naturally makes the 16-person Cambridge, Massachusetts, firm attractive to Google Ventures, the search giant’s investment division, and to In-Q-Tel, which handles similar duties for the CIA and the wider intelligence community.

It’s not the very first time Google has done business with America’s spy agencies. Long before it reportedly enlisted the help of the National Security Agency to secure its networks, Google sold equipment to the secret signals-intelligence group. In-Q-Tel backed the mapping firm Keyhole, which was bought by Google in 2004 — and then became the backbone for Google Earth.

This appears to be the first time, however, that the intelligence community and Google have funded the same startup, at the same time. No one is accusing Google of directly collaborating with the CIA. But the investments are bound to be fodder for critics of Google, who already see the search giant as overly cozy with the U.S. government, and worry that the company is starting to forget its “don’t be evil” mantra.

America’s spy services have become increasingly interested in mining “open source intelligence” — information that’s publicly available, but often hidden in the daily avalanche of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports.

“Secret information isn’t always the brass ring in our profession,” then CIA-director General Michael Hayden told a conference in 2008. “In fact, there’s a real satisfaction in solving a problem or answering a tough question with information that someone was dumb enough to leave out in the open.”

U.S. spy agencies, through In-Q-Tel, have invested in a number of firms to help them better find that information. Visible Technologies crawls over half a million web 2.0 sites a day, scraping more than a million posts and conversations taking place on blogs, YouTube, Twitter and Amazon. Attensity applies the rules of grammar to the so-called “unstructured text” of the web to make it more easily digestible by government databases. Keyhole (now Google Earth) is a staple of the targeting cells in military-intelligence units.

Recorded Future strips from web pages the people, places and activities they mention. The company examines when and where these events happened (“spatial and temporal analysis”) and the tone of the document (“sentiment analysis”). Then it applies some artificial-intelligence algorithms to tease out connections between the players. Recorded Future maintains an index with more than 100 million events, hosted on Amazon.com servers. The analysis, however, is on the living web.

“We’re right there as it happens,” Ahlberg told Danger Room as he clicked through a demonstration. “We can assemble actual real-time dossiers on people.”

Recorded Future certainly has the potential to spot events and trends early. Take the case of Hezbollah’s long-range missiles. On March 21, Israeli President Shimon Peres leveled the allegation that the terror group had Scud-like weapons. Scouring Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s past statements, Recorded Future found corroborating evidence from a month prior that appeared to back up Peres’ accusations.

That’s one of several hypothetical cases Recorded Future runs in its blog devoted to intelligence analysis. But it’s safe to assume that the company already has at least one spy agency’s attention. In-Q-Tel doesn’t make investments in firms without an “end customer” ready to test out that company’s products.

Both Google Ventures and In-Q-Tel made their investments in 2009, shortly after the company was founded. The exact amounts weren’t disclosed, but were under $10 million each. Google’s investment came to light earlier this year online. In-Q-Tel, which often announces its new holdings in press releases, quietly uploaded a brief mention of its investment a few weeks ago.

Both In-Q-Tel and Google Ventures have seats on Recorded Future’s board. Ahlberg says those board members have been “very helpful,” providing business and technology advice, as well as introducing him to potential customers. Both organizations, it’s safe to say, will profit handsomely if Recorded Future is ever sold or taken public. Ahlberg’s last company, the corporate intelligence firm Spotfire, was acquired in 2007 for $195 million in cash.

Google Ventures did not return requests to comment for this article. In-Q-Tel Chief of Staff Lisbeth Poulos e-mailed a one-line statement: “We are pleased that Recorded Future is now part of IQT’s portfolio of innovative startup companies who support the mission of the U.S. Intelligence Community.”

Just because Google and In-Q-Tel have both invested in Recorded Future doesn’t mean Google is suddenly in bed with the government. Of course, to Google’s critics — including conservative legal groups, and Republican congressmen — the Obama Administration and the Mountain View, California, company slipped between the sheets a long time ago.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt hosted a town hall at company headquarters in the early days of Obama’s presidential campaign. Senior White House officials like economic chief Larry Summers give speeches at the New America Foundation, the left-of-center think tank chaired by Schmidt. Former Google public policy chief Andrew McLaughlin is now the White House’s deputy CTO, and was publicly (if mildly) reprimanded by the administration for continuing to hash out issues with his former colleagues.

In some corners, the scrutiny of the company’s political ties have dovetailed with concerns about how Google collects and uses its enormous storehouse of search data, e-mail, maps and online documents. Google, as we all know, keeps a titanic amount of information about every aspect of our online lives. Customers largely have trusted the company so far, because of the quality of their products, and because of Google’s pledges not to misuse the information still ring true to many.

But unease has been growing. Thirty seven state Attorneys General are demanding answers from the company after Google hoovered up 600 gigabytes of data from open Wi-Fi networks as it snapped pictures for its Street View project. (The company swears the incident was an accident.)

“Assurances from the likes of Google that the company can be trusted to respect consumers’ privacy because its corporate motto is ‘don’t be evil’ have been shown by recent events such as the ‘Wi-Spy’ debacle to be unwarranted,” long-time corporate gadfly John M. Simpson told a Congressional hearing in a prepared statement. Any business dealings with the CIA’s investment arm are unlikely to make critics like him more comfortable.

But Steven Aftergood, a critical observer of the intelligence community from his perch at the Federation of American Scientists, isn’t worried about the Recorded Future deal. Yet.

“To me, whether this is troublesome or not depends on the degree of transparency involved. If everything is aboveboard — from contracts to deliverables — I don’t see a problem with it,” he told Danger Room by e-mail. “But if there are blank spots in the record, then they will be filled with public skepticism or worse, both here and abroad, and not without reason.”

The Science of Mass Manipulation Through Crisis Creation: An Introduction to the Tavistock Institute

[/b]

Created at Oxford in 1921 by the Royal Institute for International Affairs, with later funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations is the nerve center for the global manipulation of human consciousness.

Not long after Tavistock was set up by co-founder John Rawlings Reese and others, it became the core of Britain's Psychological Warfare Bureau, studying the effects of shell shock on British soldiers. Tavistock also played a crucial role in the creation of the OSS (precursor to the CIA), under the guidance of Dr. Kurt Lewin, with help from Allen Dulles, the German NAZIs, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Continuing:

"Research into the use of microwave weapons and their use for mind control began in the 1950s at Tavistock. The UK institute was researching into ways of mind-controlling the British population without them knowing."- Tim Rifat, "Microwave Mind Control".

Aside from helping to create the CIA, Tavistock was also the major force behind the formation of NATO and is deeply connected to the Club of Rome. "My own doubts came when DDT was introduced. In Guyana, within two years, it had almost eliminated malaria. So my chief quarrel with DDT, in hindsight, is it greatly added to the population problem." - Club of Rome Co-Founder Alexander King

The Club of Rome works with Tavistock to create propaganda and crisis in order to manipulate the world's population in a pre-determined direction, towards a collectivist, one world, socialist dictatorship. It was Tavistock, under the direction of Kurt Lewin, that pioneered the concept of deprogramming an individual of their traditional beliefs through trauma to allow for reprogramming according to the controllers' wishes. This would become the origin for the concept of "future shock", written about and popularized by Alvin Toffler in his book of the same title. This concept was presented by Toffler as a spontaneous response, when in fact, the exact opposite is true.

Today, Tavistock operates through a vast network of think tanks, NGOs, universities and media outlets to influence public opinion, while breaking down the moral fabric that has held the West together, using scientifically-crafted techniques of manipulation. (Beatles?).... MIT, one of Tavistock's largest U.S. institutions , works through several clients, including NASA, US Navy/ Army/ Department of State, U.S. Council of Churches, National Academy of Sciences, Sylvania.

An important part Tavistock has played in the corporate world, via the National Training Laboratories, is the sponsoring of group "sensitivity" and "diversity" designed to erase a person's individuality so that they become a "team player". The fact is that "political correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.

Tavistock portrays itself as a non-political/ non-governmental organization, but this is simply not the case when you look at how deeply entrenched it is with governments and organizations connected to government, both here in the U.S. and abroad.

(Tavistock)...became the core of Britain's Psychological Warfare Bureau. It was Tavistock-designed methods that got the United States into the Second World War and which, under the guidance of Dr. Kurt Lewin, established the OSS, the forerunner of the CIA. Lewin became the director of the Strategic Bombing Survey, which was a plan for the Royal Air Force to concentrate on bombing German worker housing while leaving military targets, such as munition plants, alone. The munition plants on both sides belonged to the international bankers who had no wish to see their assets destroyed. The idea behind saturation bombing of civilian worker housing was to break the morale of the German worker.

It was not designed to affect the war effort against the German military machine. Lewin and his team of actuaries reached a target figure, that if 65% of German worker housing was destroyed by nightly RAF bombing, the morale of the civilian population would collapse. The actual document was prepared by the Pru-dential Assurance Company. The RAF, under the command of "Bomber" Harris, carried out Lewin's plans, culminating in the terror firestorm bombing of Dresden, in which over 125,000, mainly old men, women and children, were killed.

The truth of "Bomber" Harris's horror raids on German civilians was a well kept secret until long after the end of WW II. Today its primary mission is to establish a global brainwashing and opinion forming network. This institute is the originator of the Aquarian Conspiracy, designed to weaken the nations of the world by encouraging drug use, free sex, homosexuality and lesbianism. It has been very successful in the United States. It works through many research institutes and think tanks. The principal ones in the United States are the Stanford Research Institute, Rand Research and Development Corporation, the Institute For Policy Studies, the Aspen Institute, the Hudson Institute, and the Brookings Institute. Tavistock runs over 30 research institutions in the United States.

These Tavistock-U.S. institutions have in many cases grown into gargantuan monsters, penetrating every aspect of our government agencies and taking command of all policy making. One of Tavistock's chief wreckers of our way of life was Dr. Alexander King, a founder member of NATO and a favorite with the Committee of 300, as well as an outstanding member of the Club of Rome.

When it was decided that a super-body would control European affairs, the RIIA founded the Tavistock Institute, which in turn created NATO. For Five years NATO was financed by the German Marshall Fund. Dr. King was assigned by the Club of Rome to destroy America's education by taking control of the National Teachers Association and working in close conjunction with certain law makers and judges. Scientists engaged in the process of conditioning are called "social engineers" or "new-science social scientists" and they play an integral part in what we see, hear and read. The "old school" social engineers were Kurt K. Lewin, Professor Hadley Cantril, Margaret Meade, Professor Derwin Cartwright and Professor Lipssitt who, together with John Rawlings Reese, made up the backbone of new-science scientists at Tavistock Institute.

Tavistock Institute: The Best-Kept Secret in America

Dr. Byron T. Weeks, MD
July 31, 2001

[Editor's Note: No one deserves more credit than Dr. John Coleman for bringing to light the history and true purpose of the City of London's Tavistock Institute and its many subdivisional institutions and organizations which was exposed in stunning detail in his 1992 book Conspirators' Hierachy: The Story of The Cimmittee of 300. Dr Coleman has rightly complained that many NWO expose' writers who have followed in his wake, have used his original research without crediting him as the originating source and in fairness to him, it should be observed that the information presented below is a reflection of his pioneering investigations into Tavistock.)

To John Quinn

I believe Tavistock has always had secret ties to British Freemasonry.

TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE
30 Tabernacle Street, London EC2A 4DD

Formed in 1947, the Tavistock Institute is an independent not-for-profit organization which seeks to combine research in the social sciences with professional practice. Problems of institution-building and organizational design and change are being tackled in all sectors - government, industry and commerce, health and welfare, education, etc. - nationally and internationally, and clients range from multinationals to small community groups. A growth area has been the use of a developmental approach to evaluation of new and experimental programs, particularly in health, education and community development. This has also produced new training events alongside the regular program of group relations conferences. The Institute owns and edits the monthly journal Human Relations (published by Plenum Press) which is now in its 48th year, and has recently launched (in conjunction with Sage Publications) a new journal Evaluation.

Three elements combine to make the Institute unusual, if not unique: it has the independence of being entirely self-financing, with no subsidies from the government or other sources; the action research orientation places it between, but not in, the worlds of academia and consultancy; and its range of disciplines include anthropology, economics, organizational behavior, political science, psychoanalysis, psychology and sociology.

The ideology of American foundations was created by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London. In 1921, the Duke of Bedford, Marquess of Tavistock, the 11th Duke, gave a building to the Institute to study the effect of shellshock on British soldiers who survived World War I. Its purpose was to establish the "breaking point" of men under stress, under the direction of the British Army Bureau of Psychological Warfare, commanded by Sir John Rawlings-Reese.

Tavistock Institute is headquartered in London. Its prophet, Sigmond Freud, settled in Maresfield Gardens when he moved to England. He was given a mansion by Princess Bonaparte. Tavistock's pioneer work in behavioral science along Freudian lines of "controlling" humans established it as the world center of foundation ideology.

Its network now extends from the University of Sussex to the U.S. through the Stanford Research Institute, Esalen, MIT, http://watch.pair.com/Hudson.html - Hudson Institute, http://watch.pair.com/heritage.html -Heritage Foundation, Center of Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown, where State Dept. personal are trained, US Air Force Intelligence, and the Rand and Mitre corporations. The personnel of the corporations are required to undergo indoctrination at one or more of these Tavistock controlled institutions. A network of secret groups, the Mont Pelerin Society, Trilateral Commission, Ditchley Foundation, and the Club of Rome is conduit for instructions to the Tavistock network.

Tavistock Institute developed the mass brain-washing techniques which were first used experimentally on American prisoners of war in Korea. Its experiments in crowd control methods have been widely used on the American public, a surreptitious but nevertheless outrageous assault on human freedom by modifying individual behavior through topical psychology. A German refugee, Kurt Lewin, became director of Tavistock in 1932. He came to the U.S. in 1933 as a "refugee", the first of many infiltrators, and set up the Harvard Psychology Clinic, which originated the propaganda campaign to turn the American public against Germany and involve us in World War II.

In 1938, Roosevelt executed a secret agreement with Churchill which in effect ceded U.S. sovereignty to England, because it agreed to let Special Operations Executive control U.S. policies. To implement this agreement, Roosevelt sent General Donovan to London for indoctrination before setting up OSS (now the CIA) under the aegis of SOE-SIS. The entire OSS program, as well as the CIA has always worked on guidelines set up by the Tavistock Institute.

Tavistock Institute originated the mass civilian bombing raids carried out by Roosevelt and Churchill purely as a clinical experiment in mass terror, keeping records of the results as they watched the "guinea pigs" reacting under "controlled laboratory conditions". All Tavistock and American foundation techniques have a single goal---to break down the psychological strength of the individual and render him helpless to oppose the dictators of the World Order. Any technique which helps to break down the family unit, and family inculcated principles of religion, honor, patriotism and sexual behavior, is used by the Tavistock scientists as weapons of crowd control.

The methods of Freudian psychotherapy induce permanent mental illness in those who undergo this treatment by destabilizing their character. The victim is then advised to "establish new rituals of personal interaction", that is, to indulge in brief sexual encounters which actually set the participants adrift with no stable personal relationships in their lives, destroying their ability to establish or maintain a family. Tavistock Institute has developed such power in the U.S. that no one achieves prominence in any field unless he has been trained in behavioral science at Tavistock or one of its subsidiaries.

Henry Kissinger, whose meteoric rise to power is otherwise inexplicable, was a German refugee and student of Sir John Rawlings-Reese at SHAEF. Dr. Peter Bourne, a Tavistock Institute psychologist, picked Jimmy Carter for President of the U.S. solely because Carter had undergone an intensive brainwashing program administered by Admiral Hyman Rickover at Annapolis. The "experiment" in compulsory racial integration in the U.S. was organized by Ronald Lippert, of the OSS and the American Jewish Congress, and director of child training at the Commission on Community Relations. The program was designed to break down the individual's sense of personal knowledge in his identity, his racial heritage. Through the Stanford Research Institute, Tavistock controls the National Education Association. The Institute of Social Research at the National Training Lab brain washes the leading executives of business and government.

Such is the power of Tavistock that our entire space program was scrapped for nine years so that the Soviets could catch up. The hiatus was demanded in an article written by Dr. Anatol Rapport, and was promptly granted by the government, to the complete mystification of everyone connected with NASA. Another prominent Tavistock operation is the Wharton School of Finance, at the University of Pennsylvania. A single common denominator identifies the common Tavistock strategy---the use of drugs. The infamous MK Ultra program of the CIA, in which unsuspecting CIA officials were given LSD, and their reaction studied like "guinea pigs", resulted in several deaths.

The U.S. Government had to pay millions in damages to the families of the victims, but the culprits were never indicted. The program originated when Sandoz AG, a Swiss drug firm, owned by S.G. Warburg Co. of London, developed Lysergic Acid [LSD]. Roosevelt's advisor, James Paul Warburg, son of Paul Warburg who wrote the Federal Reserve Act, and nephew of Max Warburg who had financed Hitler, set up the <http://watch.pair.com/FreedomHouse.html#ips>Institute for Policy Studies to promote the drug. The result was the LSD "counter-culture" of the 1960s, the "student revolution", which was financed by $25 million from the CIA.

The Frankfurt School

There are two approaches involved in mind-control. The first is manipulation of the individual, to fulfill specific tasks, and the second is indoctrination of entire societies, to comply with certain objectives. MK-Ultra grew out of the experimentation in psychiatry related to the field of eugenics, first developed by the Germans prior to WWII. Through the Tavistock Institute, three families, the Rockefellers, Warburgs, and Harrimans, together with British Crown agencies, jointly sponsored much of these social engineering projects, which called for the killing or sterilization of people whose heredity made them a public burden.[5] The Tavistock Institute’s projects were a follow-up on the work of the German scientists, known as Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, or the Frankfurt School, which focused on the study and criticism of culture developed from the thought of Freud. As an atheist, Freud believed that conventional morality is an unatural repression of the sexual urges imposed during childhood. David Bakan, in Sigmund Freud and The Jewish Mystical Tradition, has shown that Freud was a “crypto-Shabbatean”. Freud, when he was made aware of the Lurianic Kabbalah exclaimed “This is gold!” and asked why these ideas had never previously been brought to his attention. In his book Moses and Monotheism, Freud makes clear that, as in the case of the Pharaohs of Egypt, incest confers god-like status on its perpetrators. In the same book, Freud claims that Moses was an Egyptian, in an attempt to discredit the origin of the Law conferred by him. Commenting on these passages, Bakan claims that Freud was a follower of Shabbetai Zevi, and that his attack on Moses was an attempt to abolish the law in the same way that Zevi did. The Frankfurt School converged on the thesis that mass media could be used to induce “regressive mental states, atomizing individuals and producing increased lability”, in other words, creating passivity by fostering alienation. Following the Tavistock Institute’s study of war psychosis, and its breakdown of individual personality, as Wolf describes, in Brainwashing: How The British Use The Media for Mass Psychological Warfare: From their work, an evil thesis emerged: Through the use of terror, man can be reduced to a childlike and submissive state, in which his powers of reason are clouded, and in which his emotional response to various situations and stimuli can become predictable, or in Tavistockian terms, “profitable.” By controlling the levels of anxiety, it is possible to induce a similar state in large groups of people, whose behavior can then be controlled and manipulated by the oligarchical forces for whom Tavistock worked.

(Continued)

When the Frankfurt School researchers relocated to America, they were established at Columbia University in New York, where they also had links the Radio Research Institute at Princeton University. While All Souls College at Oxford University was the base for Round Table operations in England, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, established by Abraham Flexner, the prominent education theorist, of the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, was the center of activities in America.[9] Lord Bertrand Russell, who joined with the Frankfurt School in this effort at mass social engineering, explained the basis of the strategy, in his 1951 book, The Impact of Science on Society: Physiology and psychology afford fields for scientific technique which still await development. Two great men, Pavlov and Freud, have laid the foundation. I do not accept the view that they are in any essential conflict, but what structure will be built on their foundations is still in doubt. I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology.... Its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called “education.” Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part.... It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the State with money and equipment. ...The subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship... The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at. First, that the influence of home is obstructive. Second, that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten. Third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective. Fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate. It is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black, and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark gray. ...Although this science will be diligently studied, it will be rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.

In 1958, Cleon Skousen, assistant FBI Director, published a book called "The Naked Communist". From that book, certain parts were entered into the Congressional Records of the U.S.. This was the basic program used to merge the United States and Russia into a World Government under the authority of the United Nations.

In this book he wrote about art:

"Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression - nude movies, books, perverted art, etc..." --"The Naked Communist", by W. Cleon Skousen, Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 58-14464, copyright 1958

One of the most famous destroyers of art was the occultist and Illuminist Andy Warhol with his so-called pop-art. He said in an interview something to the effect that fine art is dead - this is the art of the New Era (referring to his own art). He was a big puppet for the Illuminati Elite. By degrading the art they also degrade the human population. Picasso once said that to be able to create a good "alternative" art form, you basically must be an excellent painter in a traditional way first. He was so right, and if you look at his early work, you can see he was mastering traditional painting as well. But those his words seem to have been forgotten and buried, just per the plan, unfortunately.

Andy Warhol

Skousen:

"Control art critics and directors of art museums. 'Our plan is to create ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.'" --(ibid)

This has already been taken care of.

IRON MOUNTAIN REPORT

Research Material REPORT FROM IRON MOUNTAIN ON THE POSSIBILITY AND DESIRABILITY OF PEACE WITH INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL BY LEONARD C. LEWIN "A BOOK THAT SHOOK THE WHITE HOUSE." --US. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT Report from Iron Mountain unveils a hitherto top-secret report of a government commission that was requested to explore the consequences of lasting peace on American society. The shocking results of the study, as revealed in this report, led the government to conceal the existence of the commission--they had found that, among other things, peace may never be possible; that even if it were, it would probably be un-desirable, that "defending the national interest" is not the real purpose of war; that war is necessary; that war deaths should be planned and budgeted. REPORT FROM IRON MOUNTAIN tells the story of how the project was formed, how it operated, What happened to it. It includes the complete verbatim text of the commission's hitherto classified report. ". . . so elaborate and ingenious and so substantively original, acute, interesting and horrifying, that it will receive serious attention regardless of its origin." --The New York Times "The first major result of the transformation of the war game into the peace game." --Irving Louis Horowitz, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists "Should be the occasion for new public demand for a penetrating examination and evaluation of government reports on strategic planning for disarmament and peace." --The Editors of Trans-action Leonard C. Lewin is a critic and satirist whose work has appeared in many newspapers and magazines here and abroad. He is the editor of A Treasury of American Political Humor. FOREWORD "John Doe," as I will call him in this book for reasons that will be made clear, is a professor at a large university in the Middle West. His field is one of the social sciences, but I will not identify him beyond this. He telephoned me one evening last winter, quite unexpectedly; we had not been in touch for several years. He was in New York for a few days, he said, and there was something important he wanted to discuss with me. He wouldn't say what it was. We met for lunch the next day at a midtown restaurant. He was obviously disturbed. He made small talk for half an hour, which was quite out of character, and I didn't press him. Then, apropos of nothing, he mentioned a dispute between a writer and a prominent political family that had been in the headlines. What, he wanted to know, were my views on "freedom of information." How would I qualify them? And so on. My answers were not memorable, but they seemed to satisfy him. Then quite abruptly, he began to tell me the following story: Early in August of 1963, he said, he found a message on his desk that a "Mrs. Potts" had called him from Washington. When he returned the call, a man answered immediately, and told Doe, among other things, that he had been selected to serve on a commission "of the high importance." Its objective was to determine, accurately and realistically, the nature of the problems that would confront the United States if and when a condition "permanent peace" should arrive, and to draft a program for dealing with this contingency. The man described the unique procedures that were to govern the commission's work and that were expected to extend its scope far beyond that of any previous examination of the problems. Considering that the caller did not precisely identify either himself or his agency, his persuasiveness must have been of a truly remarkable order. Doe entertained no serious doubts of the bona fides of the project, however, chiefly because of his previous experience with excessive secrecy that often surrounds quasi-governmental activities. In addition, the man at the other end of the line demonstrated an impressively complete and surprisingly detailed knowledge of Doe's word and personal life. He also mentioned the names of others who were to serve with the group; most of them were known to Doe by reputation. Doe agreed to take the assignment --he felt he had no real choice in the matter- -and to appear the second Saturday following at Iron Mountain, New York. An airline ticket arrived in his mail the next morning. The cloak-and-dagger tone of this convocation was further enhanced by the meeting place itself. Iron Mountain, located near the town of Hudson, is like something out of Ian Fleming or E. Phillips Oppenheim. It is an underground nuclear hideout for hundreds of large American corporations. Most of them use it as am emergency storage vault for important documents. But a number of them maintain substitute corporate headquarters as well where essential personnel could presumably survive and continue to work after an attack. This latter group included such firms as Standard Oil of New Jersey, Manufacturers Hanover Trust, and Shell. I will leave most of the story of the operations of the Special Study Group, as the commission was formerly called, for Doe to tell in his own words ("Background Information"). At this point it is necessary to say only that it met and worked regularly for over two and a half years, after which it produced a report. It was this document, and what to do about it, that Doe wanted to talk to me about. The Report, he said, had been suppressed--both by the Special Study Group itself and by the government interagency committee to which it had been submitted. After months of agonizing, Doe had decided that he would no longer be party to keeping it secret. What he wanted from me was advice and assistance in having it published. He gave me his copy to read, with the express understanding that if for any reason I were unwilling to become involved, I would say nothing about it to anyone else. I read the Report that same night. I will pass over my own reactions to it, except to say that the unwillingness of Doe's associates to publicize their findings became readily understandable. What had happened was that they had been so tenacious in their determination to deal comprehensively with the many problems of transition to peace that the original questions asked of them were never quite answered. Instead, this is what they concluded: Lasting peace, while not theoretically impossible, is probably unattainable; even if it could be achieved it would almost certainly not be in the best interests of a stable society to achieve it. That is the gist of what they say. Behind their qualified academic language runs this general argument: War fills certain functions essential to the stability of our society; until other ways of filling them are developed, the war system must be maintained--and improved in effectiveness. It is not surprising that the Group, in its Letter of Transmittal, did not choose to justify its work to "the lay reader, unexposed to the exigencies of higher political or military responsibility." Its Report was addressed, deliberately, to unnamed government administrators of high rank; it assumed considerable political sophistication from this select audience. To the general reader, therefore, the substance of the document may be even more unsettling than its conclusions. He may not be prepared for some of its assumptions--for instance, that most medical advances are viewed more as problems than as progress; or that poverty is necessary and desirable, public posture by politicians to the contrary notwithstanding; or that standing armies are, among other things, social-welfare institutions in exactly the same sense as are old-people's bones and mental hospitals. It may strike him as odd to find the probable explanation of "flying saucer" incidents disposed of en passant in less than a sentence. He may be less surprised to find that the space program and the controversial antimissile missile and fallout shelter programs are understood to have the spending of vast sums of money, not the advancement of science or national defense, as their principal goals, and to learn that "military" draft policies are only remotely concerned with defense. He may be offended to find the organized repression of minority groups, and even the re-establishment of slavery, seriously (and on the whole favorably) discussed as possible aspects of a world at peace. He is not likely to take kindly to the notion of the deliberate intensification of air and water pollution (as part of a program leading to peace), even when the reason for considering it is made clear. That a world without war will have to turn sooner rather than later to universal test-tube procreation will be less disturbing, if no more appealing. But few readers will not be taken aback, at least, by a few lines in the Report's conclusions, repeated in its for recommendations, that suggest that the long-range planning--and "budgeting"--of the "optimum" number lives to be destroyed annually in overt warfare is high on the Group's list of priorities for government action. I cite these few examples primarily to warn the general reader what he can expect. The statesmen and strategists for whose eyes the Report was intended obviously need no such protective admonition. This book of course, is evidence of my response to Doe's request. After carefully considering the problems that might confront the publisher of the Report, we took it to The Dial Press. There, its significance was immediately recognized, and, more important, we were given firm assurances that no outside pressures of any sort would be permitted to interfere with its publication. It should be made clear that Doe does not disagree with the substance of the Report, which represents a genuine consensus in all important respects. He constituted a minority of one--but only on the issue of disclosing it to the general public. A look at how the Group dealt with this question will be illuminating. The debate took place at the Group's last full meeting before the Report was written, late in March, 1966, and again at Iron Mountain. Two facts must be kept in mind, by way of background. The first is that the Special Study Croup had never been explicitly charged with or sworn to secrecy, either when it was convened or at any time thereafter. The second is that the Group had nevertheless operated as if it had been. This was assumed from the circumstances of its inception and from the tone of its instructions. (The Group's acknowledgment of help from "the many persons . . . who contributed so greatly to our work" is somewhat equivocal; these persons were not told the nature of the project for which their special resources of information were solicited. ) Those who argued the case for keeping the Report secret were admittedly motivated by fear of the explosive political effects that could be expected from publicity. For evidence, they pointed to the suppression of the far less controversial report of then- Senator Hubert Humphrey's subcommittee on disarmament in l962. (Subcommittee members had reportedly feared that it might be used by Communist propagandists, as Senator Stuart Symington put it, to "back up the Marxian theory that war production was the reason for the success of capitalism.") Similar political precautions had been taken with the better-known Gaither Report in 1957, and even with the so-called Moynihan Report in 1965. Furthermore, they insisted, a distinction must be made between serious studies, which are normally classified unless and until policy makers decide to release them, and conventional "showcase" projects, organized to demonstrate a political leadership's concern about an issue and to deflect the energy of those pressing for action on it. (The example used, because some of the Croup had participated in it, was a "White House Conference" on international cooperation, disarmament, etc., which had been staged late in 1965 to offset complaints about escalation of the Vietnam war.) Doe acknowledges this distinction, as well as the strong possibility of public misunderstanding. But he feels that if the sponsoring agency had wanted to mandate secrecy it could have done so at the outset. It could also have assigned the project to one of the government's established "think tanks," which normally work on a classified basis. He scoffed at fear of public reaction, which could have no lasting effect on long-range measures that might be taken to implement the Group's proposals, and derided the Group's abdication of responsibility for its opinions and conclusions. So far as he was concerned, there was such a thing as a public right to know what was being done on its behalf; the burden of proof was on those who would abridge it. If my account seems to give Doe the better of the argument, despite his failure to convince his colleagues, so be it. My participation in this book testifies that I am not neutral. In my opinion, the decision of the Special Study Group to censor its own findings was not merely timid but presumptuous. But the refusal, as of this writing, of the agencies for which the Report was prepared to release it themselves raises broader questions of public policy. Such questions center on the continuing use of self-serving definitions of "security" to avoid possible political embarrassment. It is ironic how often this practice backfires. I should state, for the record, that I do not share the attitudes toward war and peace, life and death, and survival of the species manifested in the Report. Few readers will. In human terms, it is an outrageous document. But it does represent a serious and challenging effort to define an enormous problem. And it explains, or certainly appears to explain, aspects of American policy otherwise incomprehensible by the ordinary standards of common sense. What we may think of these explanations is something else, but it seems to me that we are entitled to know not only what they are but whose they are. By "whose" I don't mean merely the names of the authors of the Report. Much more important, we have a right to know to what extent their assumptions of social necessity are shared by the decision-makers in our government. Which do they accept and which do they reject. However disturbing the answers, only full and frank discussion offers any conceivable hope of solving the problems raised by the Special Study Croup in their Report from Iron Mountain. L.C.L. New York, June 1967 BACKGROUND INFORMATION [The following account of the workings of the Special Study Group is taken verbatim from a series of tape-recorded interviews I had with "John Doe." The transcript has been edited to minimize the intrusion of my questions and comments, as well as for length, and the sequence has been revised in the interest of continuity. L.C.L] How was the Group formed? .,, The general idea for it, for this kind of study, dates back at least to l96l. It started with some of the new people who came in with the Kennedy administration, mostly, I think, with McNamara, Bundy, and Rusk. They were impatient about many things.... One of them was that no really serious work had been done about planning for peace--a long-range peace, that is, with long- range planning. Everything that had been written on the subject [before l96l] was superficial. There was insufficient appreciation of the scope of the problem. The main reason for this, of course, was that the idea a of a real peace in the world, general disarmament and so on, was looked on as utopian. Or even crackpot. This is still true, and it's easy enough to understand when you look at what's going on in the world today.... It was reflected in the studies that had been made up to that time. They were not realistic.. . . The idea of the Special Study, the exact form it would take, was worked out early in '63.... The settlement of the Cuban missile affair had something to do with it, but what helped most to get it moving were the big changes in military spending that were being planned.... Plants being closed, relocations, and so forth. Most of it wasn't made public until much later.... [I understand] it took a long time to select the people for the Group. The calls didn't go out until the summer.... Who made the selection? That's something I can't tell you. I wasn't involved with the preliminary planning. The first I knew of it was when I was called myself. But three of the people had been in on it, and what the rest of us know we learned from them, about what went on earlier. I do know that it started very informally. I don't know what particular government agency approved' the project. Would you care to make a guess? All right--I think it was an ad hoc committee, at the cabinet level, or near it. It had to be. I suppose they gave the organizational job--making arrangements, paying the bills, and so on--to somebody from State or Defense or the National Security Council. Only one of us was in touch with Washington, and I wasn't the one. But I can tell you that very, very few people knew about us. ., . For instance, there was the Ackley Committee. It was set up after we were. If you read their report-- the same old tune-- economic re conversion, turning sword plants into plowshare factories--I think you'll wonder if even the President knew about our Group. The Ackley Committee certainly didn't. Is that possible, really? I mean that not even the President knew of your commission? Well, I don't think there's anything odd about the government attacking a problem at two different levels. Or even about two or three government agencies working at cross- purposes. It happens all the time. Perhaps the President did know. And I don't mean to denigrate the Ackley Committee1, but it was exactly that narrowness of approach that we were supposed to get away from. . You have to remember-- you've read the Report-- that what they wanted from us was a different kind thinking. It was a matter of approach. Herman Kal calls it "Byzantine"--no agonizing over cultural and I religious values. No moral posturing. It's the kind of thinking that Rand and the Hudson Institute and I.D.A.2 brought into war planning.... What they asked us to do, and I think; we did it, was to give the same kink of treatment to the hypothetical problems of peace as they give to a hypothetical nuclear war....We may have gone further than they expected, but once you establish your premises and your logic you can't turn back.... Kahn's books3, for example, are misunderstood, at least by laymen. They shock people. But you see, what's important about them is not his conclusions, or his opinions. It's the method. He has done more than anyone else I can think of to get the general public accustomed to the style of modern military thinking....Today it's possible for a columnist to write about "counter force strategy" and "minimum deterrence" and "credible first-strike capability" without having to explain every other word. He can write about war and strategy without getting bogged down in questions of morality.... The other big difference about our work is breadth. The Report speaks for itself. I can't say that we took every relevant aspect of life and society into account, but I don't think we missed anything essential . . . Why was the project given to an outside commission? Why couldn't it have been handled directly by an appropriate government agency? I think that's obvious, or should be. The kind of thinking wanted from our Group just isn't to be had in a formal government operation. Too many constraints. Too many inhibitions. This isn't a new problem. Why else would outfits like Rand and Ingersol stay in business? Any assignment that's at all sophisticated is almost always given to an outside group. This is true even in the State Department, in the "gray" operations, those that arc supposed to be unofficial, but are really as official as can be. Also with the C.l.A.... For our study, even the private research centers were too institutional.... A lot of thought went into making sure that our thinking would be unrestricted. All kinds of little things. The way we were called into the Group, the places we met, all kinds of subtle devices to remind us. For instance, even our name, the Special Study Group. You know government names. Wouldn't you think we'd have been called "Operation Olive Branch," or "Project Pacifica," or something like that? Nothing like that for us--too allusive, too suggestive. And no minutes of our--meetings--too inhibiting.... About who might be reading them. Of course, we took notes for our own use. And among ourselves, we usually called ourselves "The Iron Mountain Boys' or "Our Thing," or whatever came to mind.... What can you tell me about the members of the Group ? I'll have to stick to generalities.... There were fifteen of us. The important thing was that we represented a very wide range of disciplines. And not all academic. People from the natural sciences, the social sciences, even the humanities. We had a lawyer and a businessman. Also, a professional war planner. Also, you should know that everyone in the Group had done work of distinction in at least two different fields. The interdisciplinary element was built in.... It's true that there were no women in the Group, but I don't think that was significant.... We were all American citizens, of course. And all, I can say, in very good health, at least when we began.... You see, the first order of business, at the first meeting, was the reading of dossiers. They were very detailed, and not just professional, but also personal. They included medical histories. I remember one very curious thing, for whatever it's worth. Most of us, and that includes me, had a record of abnormally high uric acid concentrations in the blood... None of us had ever had this experience, of a public inspection of credentials, or medical reports. It was very disturbing.... But it was deliberate. The reason for it was to emphasize that we were supposed to make all our own decisions on procedure, without outside rules. This include judging each others qualifications and making allowances for possible bias. I don't think it affected our work directly, but it made the point it was supposed to make...That we should ignore absolutely nothing that might conceivably affect our objectivity. [At this point I persuaded Doe that a brief occupational description of the individual members of the Group would serve a useful purpose for readers of the Report. The list which follows was worked out on paper. (It might be more accurate to say it was negotiated.) The problem was to give as much relevant information as possible without violating Doe's commitment to protect his colleagues' anonymity. It turned out to be very difficult, especially in the cases of those members who are very well known. For this reason, secondary areas of achievement or reputation are usually not shown, The simple alphabetical "names" were assigned by Doe for convenient reference; they bear no intended relation to actual names. "Able" was the Camp's Washington contact. It was he who brought and read the dossiers, and who most often acted as chairman. He, "Baker" and "Cox" were the three who had been involved in the preliminary planning There is no other significance to the order of listing. "Arthus Able" is an historian and political theorist, who has served in government. "Bernard Baker" is a professor of international law and a consultant on government operations. "Charles Cox" is an economist, social critic; and biographer. "John Doe." "Edward Ellis" is a sociologist often involved in public affairs. "Frank Fox" is a cultural anthropologist "George Green" is a psychologist, educator, and developer of personnel testing systems. "Harold Hill" is a psychiatrist, the has conducted extensive studies of the relationship between individual and group behavior. "John Jones is a scholar and literary critic. 'Martin Miller" is a physical chemist, whose work has received international recognition at the highest level. "Paul Peters" is a biochemist, who has made important discoveries bearing on reproductive processes. "Richard Roe" is a mathematician affiliated with an independent West Coast research institution. "Samuel Smith" is an astronomer, physicist, and communications theorist. "Thomas Taylor" is a systems analyst and war planner, who has written extensively on war, peace, and international relations. "William White" is an industrialist, who has under-taken many special government assignments.] How did the Group operate? I mean, where and when did you meet, and so forth? We met on the average of once a month. Usually was on weekends, and usually for two days. We had few longer sessions, and one that lasted only four hours . . . We met all over the country, always at a different place, except for the first and last times, which were a Iron Mountain. It was like a traveling seminar.... Sometimes at hotels, sometimes at universities. Twice we met at summer camps, and once at a private estate, in Virginia. We used a business place in Pittsburgh, and another in Poughkeepsie [New York].... We never met in Washington, or on government property anywhere....Able would announce the times and places two meetings ahead. They were never changed.... We didn't divide into subcommittees, or anything else that formal. But we all took individual assignments between meetings. A lot of it involved getting information from other people.... Among the fifteen of us, I don-t think there was anybody in the academic or professional world we couldn't call on if we wanted to, and we took advantage of it.... We were paid a very modest per diem. All of it was called "expenses" on the vouchers. We were told not to report it on our tax returns.... The checks were drawn on a special account of Able's at a New York bank. He signed them.... I don't know what the study cost. So far as our time and travel were concerned, it couldn't have come to more than the low tax-figure range. But the big item must have been computer time, and I have no idea how high this ran.... You say that you don't think your work was affected by professional bias. What about political and philosophical bias? Is it possible to deal with questions of war and peace without reflecting personal values? Yes, it is. I can understand your skepticism. But if you had been at any of our meetings you'd have had a very hard time figuring out who were the liberals and who were the conservatives, or who were hawks and who were doves. There is such a thing as objectivity, and I think we had it.... I don't say no one had any emotional reaction to what we were doing. We all did, to some extent. As a matter of fact, two members had heart attacks after we were finished, and I'll be the first to admit it probably wasn't a coincidence. You said you made your own ground rules. What were these ground rules? The most important were informality and unanimity. By informality I mean that our discussions were open ended. We went as far afield as any one of us thought we had to. For instance, we spent a lot of time on the relationship between military recruitment policies and industrial employment. Before we were finished with it, we'd one through the history of western penal codes and any number of comparative psychiatric studies [of draftees and volunteers]. We looked over the organization of the Inca empire. We determined the effects of automation on underdeveloped societies.... It was all relevant... By unanimity, I don't mean that we kept taking votes; like a jury. I mean that we stayed with every issue until we had what the Quakers call a "sense of the meeting " It was time-consuming. But in the long run it saved time. Eventually we all got on the same wavelength, so to speak.... Of course we had differences, and big ones especially in the beginning.... For instance, in Section 1 you might think we were merely clarifying our instructions. Not so; it took a long time before we all agreed to a strict interpretation....Roe and Taylor deserve most of the credit for this.... There are many things in the Report that look obvious now, but didn't seem so obvious then. For instance, on the relationship of war to social systems. The original premise was conventional, from Clausewitz. . . That war was an "instrument" of broader political values. Able was the only one who challenged this, at first. Fox called his position "perverse." Yet it was Fox who furnished most of the data that led us all to agree with Able eventually. I mention this because I think it's good example of the way we worked. A triumph of method over cliché.... I certainly don't intend to go into details about who took what side about what, and when. But I will say, to give credit where due, that only Roe, Able, Hill, and Taylor were able to see, at the beginning, where our method was taking us. But you always reached agreement, eventually. Yes. It's a unanimous report.... I don't mean that our sessions were always harmonious. Some of them were rough. The last six months there was a lot of quibbling about small points.... We'd been under pressure for a long time, we'd been working together too long. It was natural . . . that we got on each other's nerves. For a while Able and Taylor weren't speaking to each other. Miller threatened to quit. But this all passed. There were no important differences.... How was the Report actually written? Who did the writing? We all had a hand in the first draft. Jones and Able put it together, and then mailed it around for review before working out a final version.... The only problems were the form it should take and whom we were writing it for. And, of course, the question of disclosure....[Doe's comments on this point are summarized in the introduction.] You mentioned a "peace games" manual. What are peace games? I wanted to say something about that. The Report barely mentions it. "Peace games' is a method we developed during the course of the study. It's a forecast technique, an information system. I'm very excited about it. Even if nothing is done about our recommendations--which is conceivable--this is something that can't be ignored. It will revolutionize the study social problems. It's a by-product of the study. We needed a fast, dependable procedure to approximate the effects of disparate social phenomena on other social phenomena. We got it. It's in a primitive phase, but works. How are peace games played? Are they like Rand's war games? You don't "play" peace games, like chess or Monopoly any more than you play war games with toy soldiers. You use computers. Its a programming system. A compute "language," like FORTRAN, or ALGOL, or Jovial.... Its advantage is its superior capacity to interrelate data with no apparent common points of reference.... A simple analogy is likely to be misleading. But I can give you some examples. For instance, supposing I asked you to figure out what effect a moon landing by U.S. astronauts would have on an election in, say, Sweden. Or what effect a change in the draft law--a specific change-- I'd have on the value of real estate in downtown Manhattan? Or a certain change in college entrance requirements in the United States on the British shipping industry? You would probably say, first, that there would be no effect to speak of, and second, that there would be no way of telling. But you'd be wrong on both counts. In each case there would be an effect, and the peace games method could tell you what it would be, quantitatively. I didn't take these examples out of the air. We used them working out the method.... Essentially, it's an elaborate, high-speed trial-and-error system for determining working algorithms. Like most sophisticated types of computer problem-solving.... A lot of the "games" of this kind you read about are just glorified conversational exercises. They really are games, and nothing more. I just saw one reported in the Canadian Computer Society Bulletin, called a "Vietnam Peace Game." They use simulation techniques, but the programming hypotheses are speculative.... The idea of a problem-solving system like this is not original with us. ARPA4 has been working on something like it. So has General Electric, in California. There are others.... We were successful not because we know more than they do about programming, which we don't but because we learned how to formulate the problem accurately. It goes back to the old saw. You can find the answer if you know the right question.... Supposing you hadn't developed this method. Would you have come to the same conclusions in the Report? Certainly. But it would have taken many times longer.... But please don't misunderstand my enthusiasm [about the peace games method]. With all due respect to the effects of computer technology on modern thinking, basic judgments must still be made by human beings. The peace games technique isn't responsible for our Report. We are.... 1. This was a "Committee on the Economic Impact of Defense and Disarmament," headed by Gardner Ackley, of the Council of Economic Advisers.

STATEMENT BY "JOHN DOE" CONTRARY to the decision of the Special Study Croup, of which I was a member, I have arranged for the general release of our Report. I am grateful to Mr. Leonard C. Lewin for his invaluable assistance in making this possible, and to The Dial Press for accepting the challenge of publication. Responsibility for taking this step, however is mine and mine alone. I am well aware that my action may be taken as a breach of faith by some of my former colleagues. But my view my responsibility to the society of which am a part supersedes any self-assumed obligation on the part of fifteen individual men. Since our Report can be considered on its merits, it is not necessary for me to disclose their identity to accomplish my purpose. Yet I would gladly abandon my own anonymity if it were possible to do so without at the same time compromising theirs, to defend our work publicly if and when they release me from this personal bond. But this is secondary. What is needed now, and needed badly, is widespread public discussion and debate about the elements of war and the problems of peace. I hope that publication of this Report will serve to initiate it. THE REPORT OF THE SPECIAL STUDY GROUP *************************************************************** LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL *************************************************************** TO THE CONVENER OF THIS GROUP: Attached is the Report of the Special Study Group established by you in August, 1963, 1) to consider the problems involved in the contingency of a transition to a general condition of peace, and 2) to recommend procedures for dealing with this contingency. For the convenience of non technical readers we have elected to submit our statistical supporting data, totaling 604 exhibits, separately, as well as a preliminary manual of the "peace games" method devised during the course of our study. We have completed our assignment to the best of our ability, subject to the limitations of time and resources available to us. Our conclusions of fact and our recommendations are unanimous; those of us who differ in certain secondary respects from the findings set forth herein do not consider these differences sufficient to warrant the filing of a minority report. It is our earnest hope that the fruits of our deliberations will be of value to our government in its efforts to provide leadership to the nation in solving the complex and far-reaching problems we have examined, and that our recommendations for subsequent Presidential action in this area will be adopted. Because of the unusual circumstances surrounding the establishment of this Group, and in view of the nature of its findings, we do not recommend that this Report be released for publication. It is our affirmative judgment that such action would not be in the public interest. The uncertain advantages of public discussion of our conclusions and recommendations are, in our opinion, greatly outweighed by the clear and predictable danger of a crisis in public confidence which untimely publication of this Report might be expected to provoke. The likelihood that a lay reader, unexposed to the exigencies of higher political or military responsibility, will misconstrue the purpose of this project, and the intent of its participants, seems obvious. We urge that circulation of this Report be closely restricted to those whose responsibilities require that they be apprised of its contents. We deeply regret that the necessity of anonymity, a prerequisite to our Group's unhindered pursuit of its objectives, precludes proper acknowledgment of our gratitude to the many persons in and out of government who contributed so greatly to our work. For the Special Study Group [signature withheld for publication] 30 September, 1966 INTRODUCTION THE REPORT which follows summarizes the results of a two-and-- half-year study of the broad problems to be anticipated in the event of a general transformation of American society to a condition lacking its most critical current characteristics: its capability and readiness to make war when doing so is judged necessary or desirable by its political leadership. Our work has been predicated on the belief that some kind of general peace may soon be negotiable. The de facto admission of Communist China into the United Nations now appears to be only a few years away at most. It has become increasingly manifest that conflicts of American national interest with those of China and the Soviet Union are susceptible of political solution, despite the superficial contraindications of the current Vietnam war, of the threats of an attack on China, and of the necessarily hostile tenor of day-to-day foreign policy statements. It is also obvious differences involving other nations can be readily resolved by the three great powers whenever they arrive at a stable peace among themselves. It is not necessary, for the purposes of our study, to assume that a general détente of this sort will come about--and we make no such argument--but only that it may. It is surely no exaggeration to say that a condition of general world peace would lead to changes in the social structures of the nations of the world of unparalleled and revolutionary magnitude. The economic impact of general disarmament, to name only the most obvious consequence of peace, would revise the production and distribution patterns of the globe to a degree that would make the changes of the past fifty years seem insignificant. Political, sociological, cultural, and ecological changes would be equally far-reaching. What has motivated our study of these contingencies has been the growing sense of thoughtful men in and out of government that the world is totally unprepared to meet the demands of such a situation. We had originally planned, when our study was initiated, to address ourselves to these two broad questions and their components: What can be expected of peace comes? What should me be prepared to do about it? But as our investigation proceeded it became apparent that certain other questions had to be faced. What, for instance, are the real functions of war in modern societies, beyond the ostensible ones of defending and advancing the "national interests" of nations? In the absence of war, what other institutions exist or might be devised to fulfill these functions? Granting that a "peaceful" settlement of disputes is within the range of current international relationships, is the abolition of war, in the broad sense, really possible? If so, is it necessarily desirable, in terms of social stability? If not, what can be done to improve the operation of our social system in respect to its war-readiness? The word peace, as we have used it in the following pages, describes a permanent, or quasi-permanent, condition entirely free from the national exercise, or contemplation, of any form of the organized social violence, or threat of violence, generally known as war. It implies total and general disarmament. It is not used to describe the more familiar condition of "cold war," "armed peace," or other mere respite, long or short, from armed conflict. Nor is it used simply as a synonym for the political settlement of international differences. The magnitude of modern means of mass destruction and the speed of modern communications require the unqualified working definition given above; only a generation ago such an absolute description would have seemed utopian rather than pragmatic. Today, any modification of this definition would render it almost worthless for our purpose. By the same standard, we have used the word war to apply interchangeably to conventional ("hot") war, to the general condition of war preparation or war readiness, and to the general "war system." The sense intended is made clear in context. The first section of our Report deals with its scope and with the assumptions on which our study was based. The second considers the effects of disarmament on economy, the subject of most peace research to date. The third takes up so-called "disarmament scenarios" which have been proposed. The fourth, fifth, and sixth examine the nonmilitary functions of war and the problems they raise for a viable transition to peace; here will be found some indications of the true dimensions of the problem not previously coordinated in any other study. In the seventh section we summarize our findings, and in the eighth we set forth our recommendations for what I believe to be a practical and necessary course of action. SECTION 1 SCOPE OF THE STUDY WHEN THE SPECIAL STUDY GROUP was established in August, l963, its members were instructed to govern their deliberations in accordance with three principal criteria. Briefly stated, they were these: 1) military-style objectivity; 2) avoidance of preconceived value assumptions; 3) inclusion of all relevant areas of theory and data. These guideposts are by no means as obvious as they may appear at first glance, and we believe it necessary to indicate clearly how they were to inform our work. For they express succinctly the limitations of previous "peace studies," and imply the nature of both government and official dissatisfaction with these earlier efforts. It is not our intention here to minimize the significance of the work of our predecessors, or to belittle the quality of their contributions. What we have tried to do, and believe we have done, is extend their scope. We hope that our conclusions may serve in turn as a starting point for still broader and more detailed examinations of every aspect of the problems of transition to peace and of the questions which must be answered before such a transition can be allowed to get under way. It is a truism that objectivity is more often an intention expressed than an attitude achieved, but the intention--conscious, unambiguous, and constantly self-critical --is a precondition to its achievement. We believe it no accident that we were charged to use a "military contingency" model for our study, and we owe a considerable debt to the civilian war planning agencies for their pioneering work in the objective examination of the contingencies of nuclear war. There is no such precedent in peace studies. Much of the usefulness of even the most elaborate and carefully reasoned programs for economic conversion to peace, for example, has been vitiated by a wishful eagerness to demonstrate that peace is not only possible, but even cheap or easy. One official report is replete with references to the critical role of "dynamic optimism" on economic developments, and goes on to submit, as evidence, that it "would be hard to imagine that the American people would not respond very positively to an agreed and safeguarded program to substitute an international rule of law and order," etc.1 Another line of argument frequently taken is that disarmament would entail comparatively little disruption of the economy, since it need only be partial; we will deal with this approach later. Yet genuine objectivity in war studies is often criticized as inhuman. As Herman Kahn, the writer on strategic studies best known to the general public, put it: "Critics frequently object to the icy rationality of the Hudson Institute, the Rand Corporation, and other such organizations. I'm always tempted to ask in reply, 'Would you prefer a warm, human error? Do you feel better with a nice emotional mistake?"2 And as Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara has pointed out, in reference to facing up to the possibility of nuclear war, "Some people are afraid even to look over the edge. But in a thermonuclear war we cannot afford any political acrophobia."3 Surely it should be self-evident that this applies equally to the opposite prospect, but so far no one has taken more than a timid glance over the brink of peace. An intention to avoid preconceived value judgments is if anything even more productive of self-delusion. We claim no immunity, as individuals, from this type of bias, but we have made a continuously self-conscious effort to deal with the problems of peace without, for example, considering that a condition of peace is per se "good" or "bad." This has not been easy, but it has been obligatory; to our knowledge, it has not been done before. Previous studies have taken the desirability of peace, the importance of human life, the superiority of democratic institutions, the greatest "good" for the greatest number, the "dignity" of the individual, the desirability of maximum health and longevity, and other such wishful premises as axiomatic values necessary for the justification of a study of peace issues. We have not found them so. We have attempted to apply the standards of physical science to our thinking, the principal characteristic of which is not quantification, as is so popularly believed, but that, in Whitehead's words, "...it ignores all judgment value; for instance, all esthetic and moral judgments."4 Yet it is obvious that any serious investigation of a problem, however "pure," must be informed by some normal positive standard. In this case it has been simply the sum of human society in general, of American society in particular, and, as a corollary to survival, the stability of society. It is interesting, we believe, to note that the most passionate planners of nuclear strategy also recognize that the stability of society is the one bedrock value that cannot be avoided. Secretary McNamara has defended the need for American nuclear superiority on the grounds that it "makes possible a strategy designed to press the fabric of our societies if war should occur."5 A former member of the Department of State policy planning staff goes further. "A more precise word for peace, in terms of the practical world, is stability.... Today the great nuclear panoplies are essential elements in such stability exists. Our present purpose must be to continue I process of learning how to live with them."6 We, of course do not equate stability with peace, but we accept it as the one common assumed objective of both peace and war. The third criterion--breadth--has taken us still farther afield from peace studies made to date. It is obvious to any layman that the economic patterns of a warless world will be drastically different from those we live wish today, and it is equally obvious that the political relationships of nations will not be those we have learned to take for granted, sometimes described as a global version of the adversary system of our common law. But the social implications of peace extend far beyond its putative effects on national economies and international relations. As we shall show, the relevance of peace and war to the internal political organization of societies, to the sociological relationships of their members, to psychological motivations, to ecological processes, and to cultural values is equally profound. More important, it is equally critical in assaying the consequences of a transition to peace, and in determining the feasibility of any transition at all. It is not surprising that these less obvious factors have been generally ignored in peace research. They have not lent themselves to systematic analysis. They have been difficult, perhaps impossible, to measure with any degree of assurance that estimates of their effects could be depended on. They are "intangibles," but only in the sense that abstract concepts in mathematics are intangible compared to those which can be quantified. Economic actors, on the other hand, can be measured, at least superficially; and international relationships can be verbalized, like law, into logical sequences. We do not claim that we have discovered an infallible way of measuring these other factors, or of assigning them precise weights in the equation of transition. But we believe we have taken their relative importance into account to this extent: we have removed them from the category of the "intangible," hence scientifically suspect and therefore somehow of secondary importance, and brought them out into the realm of the objective. The result, we believe, provides a context of realism for the discussion of the issues relating to the possible transition to peace which up to now has been missing. This is not to say that we presume to have found the answers we were seeking. But we believe that our emphasis on breadth of scope has made it at least possible to begin to understand the questions. SECTION 2 DISARMAMENT AND THE ECONOMY IN THIS SECTION we shall briefly examine some of the common features of the studies that have been published dealing with one or another aspect of the expected impact of disarmament on the American economy. Whether disarmament is considered as a by- product of peace or as its precondition, its effect on the national economy will in either case be the most immediately felt of its consequences. The quasi-mensurable quality of economic manifestations has given rise to more detailed speculation in this area than in any other. General agreement prevails in respect to the more important economic problems that general disarmament would raise. A short survey of these problems, rather than a detailed critique of their comparative significance, is sufficient for our purposes in this Report. The first factor is that of size. The "world war industry," as one writer' has aptly called it, accounts for approximately a tenth of the output of the world's total economy. Although this figure is subject to fluctuation, e causes of which are themselves subject to regional variation, it tends to hold fairly steady. The United States as the world's richest nation, not only accounts for the largest single share of this expense, currently upward of $60 billion a year, but also ". . . has devoted a higher proportion [emphasis added] of its gross national product A its military establishment than any other major free world nation. This was true even before our increased expenditures in Southeast Asia." Plans for economic con-version that minimize the economic magnitude of the problem do so only by rationalizing, however persuasively, the maintenance of a substantial residual military budget under some euphemized classification. Conversion of military expenditures to other purposes entails a number of difficulties. The most serious stems from the degree of rigid specialization that characterizes modern war production, best exemplified in nuclear and missile technology. This constituted no fundamental problem after World War 11, nor did the question of free-market consumer demand for "conventional" items of consumption--those goods and services consumers had already been conditioned to require. Today's situation is qualitatively different in both respects. This inflexibility is geographical and occupational, as well as industrial, a fact which has led most analysts of economic impact of disarmament to focus their attention on phased plans for the relocation of war industry personnel and capital installations as much as on proposals for developing new patterns of consumption. One serious flaw common to such plans is the kind called in the natural sciences the "macroscopic error." An implicit presumption is made that a total national plan for conversion differs from a community program to cope with the shutting down of a "defense facility" only in degree. We find no reason to believe that this is the case, nor that a general enlargement of such local programs, however well thought out in terms of housing, occupational retraining, and the like, can be applied on a national scale. A national economy can absorb almost any number of subsidiary reorganizations within its total limits, providing there is no basic change in its own structure. General disarmament, which would require such basic changes, lends itself to no valid smaller-scale analogy. Even more questionable are the models proposed for time retraining of labor for non armaments occupations. Putting aside for the moment the unsolved questions dealing with the nature of new distribution patterns-- retraining for what?--the increasingly specialized job skills associated with war industry production are further depreciated by the accelerating inroads of the industrial techniques loosely described as "automation." It is not too much to say that general disarmament would require the scrapping of a critical proportion of the most highly developed occupational specialties in the economy. The political difficulties inherent in such an "adjustment would make the outcries resulting from the closing of few obsolete military and naval installations in 1964 sound like a whisper. In general, discussions of the problems of conversion have been characterized by an unwillingness to recognize its special quality. This is best exemplified by the 1965 report of the Ackley Committee. One critic has tellingly pointed out that it blindly assumes that " ....nothing in the arms economy-- neither its size, nor its geographical concentration, nor its highly specialized nature, nor the peculiarities of its market, nor the special nature of much of its labor force--endows it with any uniqueness when the necessary time of adjustment comes."' Let us assume, however, despite the lack of evidence that a viable program for conversion can be developed in the framework of the existing economy, that the problems noted above can be solved. What proposals have been offered for utilizing the productive capabilities that disarmament would presumably release? The most commonly held theory is simply that general economic reinvestment would absorb the greater part of these capabilities. Even though it is now largely taken for granted (and even by today's equivalent of traditional laissez-faire economists) that unprecedented government assistance (and concomitant government control) will be needed to solve the "structural" problem of transition, a general attitude of confidence prevail that new consumption patterns will take up the slack What is less clear is the nature of these patterns. One school of economists has it that these patterns will develop on their own. It envisages the equivalent the arms budget being returned, under careful control, to the consumer, in the form of tax cuts. Another, recognizing the undeniable need for increased "consumption in what is generally considered the public sector of the economy, stresses vastly increased government spending in such areas of national concern as health, education, mass transportation, low- cost housing, water supply, control of the physical environment, and, stated generally poverty." The mechanisms proposed for controlling the transition to an arms- free economy are also traditional-changes in both sides of the federal budget, manipulation of interest rates, etc. We acknowledge the undeniable value of fiscal tools in a normal cyclical economy, when they provide leverage to accelerate or brake an existing trend. Their more committed proponents, however, tend to lose sight of the fact that there is a limit to the power of these devices to influence fundamental economic forces. They can provide new incentives in the economy, but they cannot in themselves transform the production of a billion dollars' worth of missiles a year to the equivalent in food, clothing, prefabricated houses, or television sets. At bottom, they reflect the economy; they do not motivate it. More sophisticated, and less sanguine, analysts COD-template the diversion of the arms budget to a non military system equally remote from the market economy, What the "pyramid-builders" frequently suggest is the expansion of space-research programs to the dollar level of current armaments expenditures. This approach has the superficial merit of reducing the size of the problem of transferability of resources, but introduces other difficulties, which we will take up in section 6. Without singling out any one of the several major studies of the expected impact of disarmament on the economy for special criticism, we can summarize our objections to them in general terms as follows: 1. No proposed program for economic conversion to disarmament sufficiently takes into account the unique magnitude of the required adjustments it would entail. 2. Proposals to transform arms production into a beneficent scheme of public works are more the product of wishful thinking than of realistic understanding of the limits of our existing economic system. 3. Fiscal and monetary measures are inadequate as controls for the process of transition to an arms-free economy, 4. Insufficient attention has been paid to the political acceptability of the objectives of the proposed conversion models, as well as of the political means to be employed in effectuating a transition. S. No serious consideration has been given, in any proposed conversion plan, to the fundamental nonmilitary function of war and armaments in modern society, nor has any explicit attempt been made to devise a viable substitute for it. This criticism will be developed in sections 5 and 6. SECTION 3 DISARMAMENT SCENARIOS SCENARIOS, as they have come to be called, are hypothetical constructions of future events. Inevitably, they re composed of varying proportions of established fact, reasonable inference, and more or less inspired guess-work. Those which have been suggested as model procedures for effectuating international arms control and eventual disarmament are necessarily imaginative, al-though closely reasoned; in this respect they resemble the "war games" analyses of the Rand Corporation, with which they share a common conceptual origin. All such scenarios that have been seriously put forth imply a dependence on bilateral or multilateral agreement between the great powers. In general, they call for a progressive phasing out of gross armaments, military forces, weapons, and weapons technology, coordinated with elaborate matching procedures of verification, inspection, and machinery for the settlement of international disputes. It should be noted that even proponents of unilateral disarmament qualify their proposals with an implied requirement of reciprocity, very much in the manner of a scenario of graduated response in nuclear war. The advantage of unilateral initiative lies in its political value as an expression of good faith, as well as in its diplomatic function as a catalyst for formal disarmament negotiations. The READ model for disarmament (developed by the Research Program on Economic Adjustments to Disarmament) is typical of these scenarios. It is a twelve-year-program, divided into three-year stages. Each stage includes a separate phase of: reduction of armed forces; cutbacks of weapons production, inventories, and foreign military bases; development of international inspection procedures and control conventions; and the building up of a sovereign international disarmament organization. It anticipates a net matching decline in U.S. defense expenditures of only somewhat more than half the 1965 level, but a necessary re deployment of some five-sixths of the defense-dependent labor force. The economic implications assigned by their authors to various disarmament scenarios diverge widely, The more conservative models, like that cited above, emphasize economic as well as military prudence in postulating elaborate fail-safe disarmament agencies, which themselves require expenditures substantially substituting for those of the displaced war industries. Such programs stress the advantages of the smaller economic adjustment entailed Others emphasize, on the contrary, the magnitude (and the opposite advantages) of the savings to be achieved from disarmament. One widely read analysis' estimates the annual cost of the inspection function of general disarmament throughout the world as only between two and three percent of current military expenditures. Both types of plan tend to deal with the anticipated problem of economic reinvestment only in the aggregate. We have seen no proposed disarmament sequence that correlates the phasing out of specific kinds of military spending with specific new forms of substitute spending. Without examining disarmament scenarios in greater detail, we may characterize them with these general comments: 1. Given genuine agreement of intent among the great powers, the scheduling of arms control and elimination presents no inherently insurmountable procedural problems. Any of several proposed sequences might serve as the basis for multilateral agreement or for the first step in unilateral arms reduction. 2. No major power can proceed with such a program, however, until it has developed an economic conversion plan fully integrated with each phase of disarmament. No such plan has yet been developed in the United States. 3. Furthermore, disarmament scenarios, like proposals for economic conversion, make no allowance for the non-military functions of war in modern societies, and offer no surrogate for these necessary functions. One partial exception is a proposal for the "unarmed forces of the United States," which we will consider in section 6. Go To Part 2 Go To Part 3
