The Jasons- These are the real Controllers

by Fat Freddy

A key to the danger presented by the Trilateral Commission is its “Seminal Peace” written for them by Harvard Professor Samuel P. Huntington in the mid ’70s.

In the paper Professor Huntington recommended that democracy and economic development be discarded as outdated ideas.

He wrote as co-author of the book The Crisis of Democracy,

“We have come to recognize that there are potential desirable limits to economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of political democracy. A government which lacks authority will have little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary.”

…Remember that George Bush was a member of the Trilateral Commission and only resigned as an expediency to get elected.

He believes wholeheartedly in the Commission and its ideas and ideals. We have elected a President who believes that democracy and economic development must be discarded. I tell you now that he is working toward that end. Bush is still a member of the order and the CFR.

The JASON Society, or JASON Scholars, takes its name from the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece, and it is a branch of the Order of the Quest, one of the highest degrees in the Illuminati.

The golden fleece takes on the role of truth to the JASON members.

Jason represents the search for truth.

Therefore the name JASON Society denotes a group of men who are engaged in a search for the truth. The name Jason is spelled with capital letters when used as the name of the JASON Society. Lower-case letters are never used when referring to this secret group. The name may even have deeper meaning, as the name “Jason” and the Golden Fleece appear throughout history in relation to various other secret societies.

In these instances the story represents man (Jason) looking for himself (Golden Fleece).

Top Secret documents that I read while with the Naval Intelligence stated that President Eisenhower had commissioned the JASON Society to examine all of the evidence, facts, lies, and deception and find the truth of the alien question.

Founders of the JASON Group (or JASON Society) include members of the famous Manhattan Project, which brought together almost every leading physicist in the nation to build the atomic bomb during World War II. The group is made up mostly of theoretical physicists and is the most elite gathering of scientific minds in the United States.

As of 1987 the membership included four Nobel Prize winners. Today JASON continues to offer scientific help the government cannot find anywhere else. They are probably the only group of scientists in the United States that know the true state of highest technology.

JASON is shrouded in what appears to be unnecessary secrecy. The group refuses to release its membership list, none of the members list JASON membership on there official resumes. Working completely behind the scenes, JASON has guided the nation’s most important security decisions. These include, but are not limited to, Star Wars, Submarine Warfare, and predictions about the greenhouse effect. The JASON members are paid $500.00 per-day consultant’s fee.

In the documents that I read while with Naval Intelligence the JASONS predicted that the greenhouse effect would lead ultimately to an ICE AGE.

According to the Pentagon, the JASONS hold the highest and most restrictive security clearances in the nation. They are given the protocol rank of rear admiral (two stars) when they visit of travel aboard ships or visit military bases. The only other reference to the JASON group that I have been able to find is in the Pentagon Papers.

The papers stated that JASON was responsible for designing the electronic barrier between North and South Vietnam War. I was stationed on the DMZ and I can tell you it did not work.

The veil of secrecy around the JASON Group has been so tight and so leak-proof since its conception that those who think the government cannot keep a secret need to reexamine that position. The government was able to contain the JASON secret except the one leak; but the JASON Group itself, a civilian group, did even better.

No leaks have ever occurred from with in JASON.

JASON is administered by the Mitre Corporation Government contracts allotted to the Mitre Corporation are in reality allotted to the JASON scientist. This is done so that the name JASON does not ever appear in documents which may come under public scrutiny.

What is the difference between JASON Scholars or JASON Society and the JASON Group?

The documents that I read referred to the JASON Society in exactly those words. In public documents the only JASON reference is to the JASON Group, administered by the Mitre Corporation. I believe the JASON Society is one of the highest degrees above the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key in the Illuminati. In other words, it is a higher level of initiation.

The Council on Foreign Relations is a private organization of business executives, scholars, and political leaders that studies global problems and play a key role in developing U.S. Foreign Policy.

The C.F.R. is one of the most powerful semiofficial groups concerned with America’s role in international affairs. It is controlled by an elect group of men recruited from the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key societies of Harvard and Yale, which are up the Executive Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations after undergoing initiation into the Order of the Quest, also known as the JASON Society.

The Council on Foreign Relations is in off-shoot sister organization to the British Royal Institute of International Affairs. There goal is a New World Order. Although it existed as a dinner dub in New York, it did not take on its present power until 1921, when it merged with the Royal Institute of International Affairs and received its financial base from J.P.Morgan, the Carnegie Endowment, the Rockefeller family, and other Wall Street banking interest.

The Council on Foreign Relations controls our government.

Through the years its members have infiltrated the entire executive branch, State Department, Justice Department, CIA, and top ranks of the military. Every director of the Central Intelligence Agency has been a member of the CFR. Most U.S. Presidents since Roosevelt have been members. The members of the CFR dominate ownership of the press and most, if not all, of America’s top journalists are members. The CFR does not conform to government policy.

The government conforms to CFR policy.

I read Top Secret Documents while with Naval Intelligence that said President Eisenhower had appointed six of the Executive committee members of the CFR to set on the panel called Majesty Twelve also known as Majority Twelve for security reasons.

Majesty Twelve is the secret group that is supposed to control Extraterrestrial information and projects.

Again, whether this is true or disinformation depends solely upon the existence of aliens.

The Nights of Malta play a powerful role in this scenario. In the 1930’s General Smedley Butler was recruited to help take over the White House. He was told that he was needed because of his general popularity with the military. General Butler blew the whistle and named several prominent Americans as part of the plot.

At the top of the list was John J. Raskob, who was a founding member of the U.S. branch of the Knights of Malta. He was board chairman of General Motors. He was, at the time, U.S. Treasurer of the Knights of Malta. Congressional hearings were held to investigate the plot, but none of those named including Raskob, was ever called to testify and nothing ever came of the hearings.

Although you will find this in the congressional records, you will never find it in any history book anywhere.

It is significant that the Iran-contra episode has many similarities to the 1930’s plot. William Casey was a member of the Knights of Malta. William Casey, with the help of Vice President Bush, Anne Armstrong, and Donald Regan, caused the Presidents Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board to be emasculated so that Bush, Casey, North and others could carry out there dirty deeds without oversight.

They had also developed a plan to suspend the Constitution of the United States and were preparing to implement the plan when they were caught. These facts emerged from the hearings but were suppressed by the committee, Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. You must understand that tremendous power was involved in both attempts to overthrow the United States Government.

William Casey was the Director of the CIA. He was a member of the CFR. Casey was a Knight of Malta. He was head of Reagan’s political campaign. He was head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the Nixon administration he was head of the Export-Import Bank.

Casey arranged financing for the Kama River truck factory in the Soviet Union with 90% of the funds guaranteed or furnished by the U.S. taxpayer. This factory built military trucks and tank engines for the Soviet Army. It was, and may still be, the largest factory in the world and could produce more heavy trucks than all U.S. factories together. I believe Casey was murdered.

The Knights of Malta is a world organization with its threads weaving through business, banking, politics, the CIA, other intelligence organizations, P2, religion, education, law, military, think tanks, foundations, the United States Information Agency, the United Nations, and numerous other organizations. They are not the oldest but are one but are one of the oldest branches of the Quest in existence.

The world head of the Knights of Malta is elected for a life term, with the approval of the Pope.

The Knights of Malta have there own constitution and are sworn to work toward the establishment of a New World Order with the Pope at its head. Knights of Malta members are also powerful members of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.

The Vatican has been infiltrated over many years by the Illuminati.

This is easily proven by the fact that in 1738 Pope Clement XII issued a Papal Bull which stated that any Catholic who became a Mason would be excommunicated, a very serious punishment.

In 1884 Pope Leo XIII issued a proclamation stating that masonry was one of the secret societies attempting to,

“revive the manners and customs of the pagans” and “establish Satan’s kingdom on Earth.”

Piers Compton, in his book “The Broken Cross” traces the infiltration of the Catholic Church by the Illuminati.

He has found the use of the all-seeing eye in the triangle by leading Catholics and by the Jesuits. It was used in the seal of the Philadelphia Eucharistic congress in 1976. It was on a special issue of Vatican Stamps in 1978, announcing the final Illuminati victory to the world.

Mr. Compton claims that Pope John Paul II wore the all seeing eye in the triangle on his personal cross.

Compton is adamant that several hundred leading Catholic priests, bishops and cardinals are members of secret societies. He quotes an article in an Italian Journal that lists more than 70 Vatican officials, including Pope Paul VI’s private secretary, the director general of Vatican radio, the Archbishop of Florence, the prelate of Milan, the assistant editor of the Vatican newspaper, several Italian bishops, and the abbot of the Order of St. Benedict.

Those are the only ones that are known in Italy. It is widely believed that this Pope John Paul II is a member of the Illuminati. I believe, according to my research, that it is true.

The best indication of infiltration is that on November 27 1983 the Pope retracted all of the Papal Bulls against Freemasonry and allowed Catholics after several hundred year, to again become members of secret societies without fear of excommunication. The goal of the Illuminati to elect one of there own to the Papacy appears to have come to fruition.

If that is the case, the New World Order is just on the horizon. Now is the time.

The first Ambassador to the Vatican was William Wilson, a Knight of Malta. His appointment was probably illegal and, for a fact, was highly unethical. Wilson could not possibly have represented the U.S. when his first allegiance was sworn to the Pope. Wilson, if you will remember, took an unauthorized trip to Libya and met privately with Libyan officials at a time when travel to Libya had been banned by the President, President Ronald Reagan had called Col. Khadafi “a mad dog” and made a few strong threats.

The U.S. had been resolute in bombing Libya even though civilians were killed.

Following Wilsons trip, Khadafi issued a press release stating that,

“an American diplomat had been sent to reduce tensions with Libya.”

The State Department denied that any such thing had taken place.

Ambassador Wilson closed his mouth and refused to comment. To this day he has said nothing, even though his actions made a liar of the United States and embarrassed us worldwide.

An due to what was happening is the fact that while we had cut off Libya and even bombed them and while travel by U.S. citizens to Libya was forbidden, five big oil conglomerates were filling there pockets dealing with Khadafi. One of the companies was headed by J.Peter Grace, President of W.R.Grace. Eight members of the W.R.Grace Company are members of the Knights of Malta.

According to an article by Leslie Geld in the New York Times, administration officials had expressed concern about Mr. Wilson’s activities.

These actions, they said, often seem to revolve around his contacts and interest in the oil business. Wilson should have been fired, but instead nothing happened except that he and his wife attended a Papal Easter Mass and stood next to George Schultz and his wife. In diplomatic language this indicated private approval of his actions.

George Schultz, of course, is a member of the CFR, the Bohemian Club and the Bechtel Corporation, all of which have close ties to the Order and the Knights of Malta.

Wilson engaged in several other improprieties during his ambassadorship. Again, in each of these nothing happened. Finally he resigned. Later, if you will remember, President Reagan suffered a fall from a horse on William Wilson’s ranch in Mexico. Do you think that President Reagan would have visited Wilson’s home in Mexico if he had not approved of Wilson’s actions while he was U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.

Knights of Malta Myron Taylor was President Roosevelt’s envoy and he was also Director of the CIA during the early 60s.

A former mayor of New York city, Robert Wagner, was President Jimmy Carter’s envoy. Frank Shakespeare replaced William Wilson, Frank Shakespeare is a Knight of Malta and so it goes. President Reagan spoke at the knight of Malta dinner. The Knights of Malta all have diplomatic immunity. They can ship goods across borders without paying duty or customs check.

Does that ring any bells? In any case that is power.

The knights of Malta is held up by a backbone consisting of nobility. nearly half of the 10,000 members belong to Europe’s oldest and most powerful families. This cements the alliance between the Vatican and the “Black Nobility.”

The Black Nobility is mostly the rich and powerful of Europe. The head of the Black Nobility is the family that can claim direct descendancy from the Roman Emperor.

Maybe now you can that things are beginning to fall into there proper place. Membership in the Knights of Malta entails obedience to one’s superior in the Order and ultimately to the Pope. Therefore, a U.S. ambassador who is also a member of the Knights of Malta faces a conflict of interest.

Why is this fact ignored? President Bush appointed Knight of Malta Thomas Melledy to the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.

The Vatican has founded the Pope John Paul II Center for prayer and study for peace at 1711 Ocean Avenue, Spring Lake, New Jersey, in a mansion overlooking the ocean. The mansion was given to the New York Archdiocese by the estate of Elmer Bobst, who died in 1978. He was a multimillionaire and chairman of Warner Lambert Company. Richard Nixon was a frequent visitor.

Directors of the Center were:

Kurt Waldheim, former Secretary general of the United Nations and ex-Nazi war criminal
Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State under Carter and member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral commission
Clare Booth Luce, a dam of the Knights of Malta
J. Peter Grace of W.R.Grace company, who is head of the Knights of Malta in the United States.

The Center was set up by the Vatican as a part of the Pope’s new peace plan, which will bring the world together.

The Center has two roles:

Educate Catholics and there children to accept the New World Order.
Provide residence for the world-peace-solution computer and an on going study for peaceful solutions to any future problems which may endanger world peace.

The computer is hooked to the world capitals via satellite.

All nations have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the computer for solution. Of course, this will not go into effect until the New World Order is announced. I believe that the New World Order was born in secrecy on January 19, 1989. Now you know.

The Vatican has stated at various times that,

“the Pope is for total disarmament; the Pope is for elimination of the sovereignty of the nation states; the Pope is also stating that property rights are not to be considered true property rights. The Pope believes that only the Vatican knows what is right for man.”

In the early 1940s, the I.G. Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz.

After the war the salesman, fearing for his life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946. One of his closest friends was Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the master mind behind the November 1978 to October 1979 and March 1980 to October 1981 experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in New York, San Francisco, and four other American cities that loosed the plague of AIDS upon the American people.

The salesman was ordained Poland’s youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the Papacy as Pope John Paul II.

1990 is the right time with the right leaders:

ex-chief of the KGB Mikhail Gorbachev
ex-chief of the CIA George Bush
ex-Nazi cyanide gas salesman Pope John Paul II,

…all bound by an unholy alliance to ring in the New World Order.

INTRODUCTION

In June of this year, a world-famous American scientist was chased out of the College de France by a group of young French scientists who were outraged at his contributions to the Vietnam War.

Dr. Murray Gell-Mann, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist from Cal-Tech, had come to Paris to lecture on the theory of elementary particles, but the audience which met him wanted to ask about his work for the Pentagon, through his participation in the Jason Group.

Gell-Mann’s response was,

“I am not free to answer.”

At an international symposium on physics held in Trieste in September, five Jason physicists (Professors Wigner, Wheeler, Townes, Weinberg, and Montroll) were confronted by 300 persons who denounced them as war criminals.

The only response by the five came from Professor Wigner, who said,

“I am flattered by your accusations. They are compliments for me.”

When the meeting was moved to a suburb, 100 riot police were called on to block the protesters. (Le Monde, 9/30/72.)

At a summer school on the history of physics, held at Varenna, Italy, in August, there was circulated a Statement on Vietnam, saying, in part:

The operational use of scientific knowledge in the Indochina War is of particular concern to us… Our discussions have convinced us that it is no longer possible to separate out attitudes on these issues from our professional activities. This is why we express, as scientists and in the publications and institutions of science, our condemnation of those colleagues who have willingly involved themselves in the waging of this war: we ask that these issues should be honestly faced within the scientific community, wherever it meets.

The Jason Group was specifically cited in this statement for their contribution to the technology of the war. This statement was signed by almost all (about sixty) of the participating scientists – mostly Europeans, and some of them were men of considerable prestige. This same statement was circulated for signatures at a large physics meeting in the United States in September (the high-energy conference at the National Accelerator Laboratory).

Only 21 scientists signed out of over 700; and most of the signers were European.

Can American scientists evade these issues? We feel that we make up a community of shared work and common understanding – students, teachers, and researchers. Can it be a matter of indifference to us that some members of the community – even some of its leaders – serve a military adventure that most of us regard as criminal ?

The overall involvement of scientists with government is an enormous subject. The issue is posed perhaps most sharply by the Jason Group, an elite panel within the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). The President’s Science Advisory Committee (PSAC), which works directly for the President, is still more select than Jason and presumably more influential.

But in Jason, we see long-range strategic advice to the Department of Defense associated with the symbols of academic science. The forty-odd members of Jason include some of the very best known physicists in America, working at the most prestigious universities. While maintaining their public personalities as esteemed professors, they have been quietly helping the Department of Defense with – with what?

They are “not free to answer.”

The first aim of this study is to assemble some of the story of this classified work. An especially significant contribution of Jason to the Vietnam War was revealed in the Pentagon Papers. In a 1966 report, a Jason Group drew up general outlines for a system of sensors, communications links, aircraft, mines and bombs intended to stop transport of soldiers and supplies into South Vietnam.

This system, adopted and expanded by the Pentagon, has become what is now known as the automated battlefield. It has made possible the policy of minimizing American casualties while continuing to devastate Indochina and its people through technological warfare; it has made possible Nixon’s plan to prosecute the war indefinitely or until he can achieve “peace with honor;” it is being readied for other, future wars.

Thus, everyone concerned with anti-democratic forces in our society should be vitally interested in the nature of Jason and its activities. In this report, we present the best information available to us on this important issue.

In addition to tracing the consequences of this one Jason project, we will give a few indications, from the meager unclassified material available, of the wide range of Jason’s still-secret work.

The second chapter summarizes rather fully several Jason members’ own account of their own experiences and attitude in this work. The bulk of this chapter is based on personal interviews conducted in 1972.

Finally, we offer an analysis of the issues raised, and suggest some proposals for action.

While this report focuses on the activities of the Jason Group, Jason is by no means an isolated or unique phenomena. This case-study of Jason serves to illustrate the nature of relationships which exist generally between elite academic scientists and government, military and business agencies.

These relationships facilitate the routine implementation of policy decisions of sweeping social consequences without the knowledge or consent of the people or their elected representatives.

Chapter I

The Story of Jason

THE ORIGIN OF JASON

At the end of World War II many of the country’s leading scientists, who had been involved in such war research as the atomic bomb and radar, left full-time government work and returned to the college campuses.

The military, of course, did not want to lose all this valuable talent. In addition to its own “in-house” laboratories, the Defense Department sought to establish ongoing consulting liaison with first-rate scientists.

At first this service was obtained through the RAND corporation and some scientific advisory committees attached directly to the Pentagon; some scientists also consulted for industrial corporations working on defense contracts. The industrial consulting jobs paid extremely well, but the scientists involved felt that they were not close enough to the center of power to influence policy decisions. On the other hand, scientists in Washington often felt restricted by the particular government agency they consulted for and also found the government consulting fee scales to be very low.

Therefore, the idea of a new, independent research and consulting organization arose: this was the Institute for Defense Analyses, IDA.

Set up nominally as a private, non-profit corporation, IDA worked on the basis of contracts with the Pentagon for particular research problems of interest to the military. IDA could determine its own salary scales and it hoped to attract high calibre scientists with the promise of considerable “freedom” in their choice of problem to be worked on. A group of the very brightest young scientists was recruited into a sub-group of IDA called Jason.

The whole success of this enterprise depended upon establishing it as a mark of highest prestige to be invited into this elite group.

IDA’S COLD WAR IDEOLOGY

The original political-philosophical outlook of IDA and Jason was boldly stated in terms of cold-war ideology. Their literature of ten years ago told of the creation of IDA as arising from,

“the inescapable realization that International Communism is imperialistic in nature and that its goal is no less than world domination.” T

hen, noting that,

“the real war was American science versus Soviet science”, IDA traced its birth to the fact that “the government, specifically the Department of Defense, in an attempt to strengthen its application of the scientific method toward the solution of broad problems of military policy and strategy, sought some machinery by which it could reach more effectively into the reservoir of technological talent in the nation’s scientific community.”

JASON AND THE “MCNAMARA FENCE”

The most detailed public account of Jason’s contribution to the Vietnam War is contained in the Pentagon Papers: the 1966 Jason summer study which gave birth to a new form of technological warfare, now known as the automated, or electronic, battlefield. The situation leading up to this report is as follows.

Even while campaigning for reelection on a “peace” platform in 1964, Lyndon Johnson was accepting plans from his military advisors for increased levels of fighting in Vietnam. Early in 1965 he launched the program of sustained bombing against North Vietnam: Operation Rolling Thunder. After more than a year of this campaign, there was a growing opposition to the war among the American public, and there was also disillusionment within some parts of the government over the failure of the bombing to achieve its military objectives.

Early in 1966, a clique of Harvard-MIT scientists with high level connections in Washington persuaded Defense Secretary Robert McNamara to sponsor a special study on “technical possibilities in relation to our military operations in Vietnam.”

With this prompting, McNamara formally requested the scientists to look into the feasibility of,

“a fence across the infiltration trails, warning systems, reconnaissance (especially night) methods, night vision devices, defoliation techniques and area denial weapons.”

This special scientific study group was assembled under the auspices of the Jason Division of IDA; the group of 47 scientists represented “the cream of the scholarly community in technical fields”,

…”a group of America’s most distinguished scientists, men who had helped the Government produce many of its most advanced technical weapons systems since the end of the Second World War, men who were not identified with the vocal academic criticism of the Administration’s Vietnam policy.”

This Jason study group met during the summer of 1966, starting off with a series of briefings by high officials from the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department and the White House. They were given access to secret materials.

The Jason report, given to McNamara at the beginning of September, was in four parts:

The Effects of US Bombing in North Vietnam
Viet Cong/North Vietnam Army Logistics and Manpower
An Air Supported Anti-Infiltration Barrier
Summary of Results, Conclusions and Recommendations

This report was regarded as particularly “sensitive” and the only persons to receive copies, outside of McNamara, were General Wheeler and Mr. Rostow. The writers of the Pentagon Papers evaluated this Jason report as exerting “a powerful and perhaps decisive influence in McNamara’s mind,” concerning future US policies in Vietnam.

As the New York Times’s presentation of the Pentagon Papers summarizes:

“Their [the Jason Summer Study’s] report evaluating the results of the Rolling Thunder campaign began:

“‘As of July 1966, the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam had had no measurable direct effect on Hanoi’s ability to mount and support military operations in the South at the current level.’

“They then pointed out the reasons that they felt North Vietnam could not be hurt by bombing: It was primarily a subsistence agricultural country with little industry and a primitive but flexible transport system, and most of its weapons and supplies came from abroad.

“These factors, the scientists said, made it ‘quite unlikely’ that an expanded bombing campaign would ‘prevent Hanoi from infiltrating men into the South at the present or a higher rate.’

“In conclusion, the Pentagon study says, the scientists addressed the assumption behind the bombing program – that damage inflicted on a country reduces its will to continue fighting. The scientists criticized this assumption, the study says, by denying that is possible to measure the relationship.

“‘It must be concluded’, the scientists said, ‘that there is currently no adequate basis for predicting the levels of U.S. military effort that would be required to achieve the stated objectives – indeed, there is no firm basis for determining if there is any feasible level of effort that would achieve these objectives.'”

The Gravel Edition of the Pentagon Papers continues (p. 120):

Having submitted a stinging condemnation of the bombing, the Study Group was under some obligation to offer constructive alternatives and this they did, seizing, not surprisingly, on the very idea McNamara had suggested – the anti-infiltration barrier. The product of their summer’s work was a reasonably detailed proposal for a multi-system barrier across the DMZ and the Laotian panhandle that would make extensive use of recently innovated mines and sensors.

The central portion of their recommendation follows:

The barrier would have two somewhat different parts, one designed against foot traffic and one against vehicles. The preferred location of the anti-foot-traffic barrier is in the region along the southern edge of the DMZ to the Laotian border and then north of Tehepone to the vicinity of Muong Sen, extending about 100 by 20 kilometers. This area is virtually unpopulated, and the terrain is quite rugged, containing mostly V-shaped valleys in which the opportunity for alternate trails appears lower than it is elsewhere in the system.

The location of choice for the anti-vehicle part of the system is the area, about 100 by 40 kilometers, now covered by Operation Cricket. In this area the road network tends to be more constricted than elsewhere, and there appears to be a smaller area available for new roads.

An alternative location for the anti-personnel system is north of the DMZ to the Laotian border and then north along the crest of the mountains dividing Laos from North Vietnam. It is less desirable economically and militarily because of its greater length, greater distance from U.S. bases, and greater proximity to potential North Vietnamese counter-efforts.

The air-supported barrier would, if necessary, be supplemented by a manned “fence” connecting the eastern end of the barrier to the sea.

The construction of the air-supported barrier could be initiated using currently available or nearly available components, with some necessary modifications, and could perhaps be installed by a year or so from go-ahead. However, we anticipate that the North Vietnamese would learn to cope with a barrier built this way after some period of time which we cannot estimate, but which we fear may be short.

Weapons and sensors which can make a much more effective barrier, only some of which are now under development, are not likely to be available in less than 18 months to 2 years. Even these, it must be expected, will eventually be overcome by the North Vietnamese, so that further improvements in weaponry will be necessary.

Thus we envisage a dynamic “battle of the barrier,” in which the barrier is repeatedly improved and strengthened by the introduction of new components, and which will hopefully permit us to keep the North Vietnamese off balance by continually posing new problems for them.

This barrier is in concept not very different from what has already been suggested elsewhere; the new aspects are: the very large scale of area denial, especially mine fields kilometers deep rather than the conventional 100-200 meters; the very large numbers and persistent employment of weapons, sensors, and aircraft sorties in the barrier area; and the emphasis on rapid and carefully planned incorporation of more effective weapons and sensors into the system.

The system that could be available in a year or so would, in our conception, contain [sic] the following components:

Gravel mines (both self-sterilizing for harassment and non-sterilizing for area denial)
Possible, “button bomblets” developed by Picatinny Arsenal to augment the range of the sensors against foot-traffic*
SADEYE/BLU-26B clusters, for attacks on area-type targets of uncertain location
Acoustic detectors, based on improvements of the “Acoustic Sonobuoys” currently under test by the Navy
P-2V patrol aircraft, equipped for acoustic sensor monitoring, Gravel dispensing, vectoring strike aircraft, and infrared detection of campfires in bivouac areas
Gravel Dispensing Aircraft (A-1’s or possible C-123’s)
Strike Aircraft
Photo-reconnaissance Aircraft
Photo Interpreters
(Possibly) ground teams to plant mines and sensors, gather information, and selectively harass traffic on foot trails.

The anti-troop infiltration system (which would also function against supply porters) would operate as follows. There would be a constantly renewed mine field of non-sterilizing Gravel (and possibly button bomblets), distributed in patterns covering interconnected valleys and slopes (suitable for alternate trails) over the entire barrier region.

The actual mined area would encompass the equivalent of a strip about 100 by 5 kilometers. There would also be a pattern of acoustic detectors to listed for mine explosions indicating an attempted penetration. The mine field is intended to deny opening of alternate routes for troop infiltrators and should be emplaced first.

On the trails and bivouacs currently used, from which mines may – we tentatively assume – be cleared without great difficulty, a more dense pattern of sensors would be designed to locate groups of infiltrators. Air strikes using Gravel and SADEYES would then be called against these targets. The sensor patterns would be monitored 24 hours a day by patrol aircraft.

The struck areas would be reseeded with new mines.

The anti-vehicle system would consist of acoustic detectors distributed every mile or so along all truckable roads in the interdicted area, monitored 24 hours a day by patrol aircraft, with vectored strike aircraft using SADEYE to respond to signals that trucks or truck convoys are moving. The patrol aircraft would distribute self-sterilizing Gravel over parts of the road net at dusk. The self-sterilization feature is needed so that road-watching and mine-planting teams could be used in this area.

Photo-reconnaissance aircraft would cover the entire area each few days to look for the development of new truckable roads, to see if the transport of supplies is being switched to porters, and to identify any other changes in the infiltration system. It may also be desirable to use ground teams to plant larger anti-truck mines along the roads, as an interim measure pending the development of effective air-dropped anti-vehicle mines.

The cost of such a system (both parts) has been estimated to be about $800 million per year, of which by far the major fraction is spent for Gravel and SADEYES.

The key requirements would be (all numbers are approximate because of assumptions which had to be made regarding degradation of system components in field use, and regarding the magnitude of infiltration):

20 million Gravel mines per month
possible 25 million button bomblets per month
10,000 SADEYE-BLU-26B clusters* per month
1600 acoustic sensors per month (assuming presently employed batteries with 2-week life), plus 68 appropriately equipped P-2V patrol aircraft
a fleet of about 50 A-1’s or 20 C-123’s for Gravel dispensing (1400 A-1 sorties or 600 C-123 sorties per month)
500 strike sorties per month (F-4C equivalent)
sufficient photo-reconnaissance sorties, depending on the aircraft, to cover 2500 square miles each week, with an appropriate team of photo interpreters

Even to make this system work, there would be required experimentation and further development for foliage penetration, moisture resistance, and proper dispersion of Gravel; development of a better acoustic sensors than currently exists (especially in an attempt to eliminate the need for button bomblets); aircraft modifications; possible modifications in BLU-26B fusing; and refinement of strike-navigation tactics.

For the future, rapid development of new mines (such as tripwire, smaller and more effective camouflaged Gravel, and various other kinds of mines), as well as still better sensor/information processing systems will be essential.

Thus, not only had this distinguished array of American technologists endorsed the barrier idea McNamara had asked them to consider, they had provided the Secretary with an attractive, well thought-out and highly detailed proposal as a real alternative to further escalation of the ineffective air war against North Vietnam.

But, true to their scientific orientations, the study group members could not conclude their work without examining the kinds of counter-measures the North Vietnamese might take to circumvent the Barrier.

Thus, they reasoned:

Assuming that surprise is not thrown away, countermeasures will of course still be found, but they may take some time to bring into operation.

The most effective countermeasures we can anticipate are mine sweeping; provision of shelter against SADEYE strikes and Gravel dispersion; spoofing of sensors to deceive the system or decoy aircraft into ambushes, and in general a considerable step-up of North Vietnamese anti-aircraft capability along the road net. Counter-countermeasures must be an integral part of the system development.

Apart from the tactical countermeasures against the barrier itself, one has to consider strategic alternatives available to the North Vietnamese in case the barrier is successful. Among these are: a move into the Mekong Plain; infiltration from the sea either directly to SVN or through Cambodia; and movement down the Mekong from Thakhek (held by the Pathet Lao-North Vietnamese) into Cambodia.

Finally, it will be difficult for us to find out how effective the barrier is in the absence of clearly visible North Vietnamese responses, such as end runs through the Mekong plain. Because of supplies already stored in the pipeline, and because of the general shakiness of our quantitative estimates of either supply or troop infiltrations, it is likely to be some time before the effect of even a wholly successful barrier becomes noticeable.

A greatly stepped-up intelligence effort is called for, including continued road-watch activity in the areas of the motorable roads, and patrol and reconnaissance activity south of the anti-personnel barrier.

This, then, was the new option introduced into the Vietnam discussions in Washington at the beginning of September.

Their work completed, the Jason Group met with McNamara and McNaughton in Washington on August 30 and presented their conclusions and recommendations. McNamara was apparently strongly and favorably impressed with the work of the Summer Study because he and McNaughton flew to Massachusetts on September 6 to meet with members of the Study again for more detailed discussions.

Even before going to Massachusetts, however, McNamara had asked General Wheeler to bring the proposal up with the Chiefs and to request field comment. After having asked CINCPAC for an evaluation, Wheeler sent McNamara the preliminary reactions of the Chiefs.

They agreed with the Secretary’s suggestion to establish a project manager (General Starbird) in DDR&E, but expressed concern that,

“the very substantial funds required for the barrier system would be obtained from current Service resources thereby affecting adversely important current programs.”

The conservatism of the military hierarchy was overcome by McNamara’s enthusiasm.

The new project, given the deliberately vague name of Defense Communications Planning Group (DCPG), was set up under the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E).

The Director of Defense Research and Engineering since 1965 has been Dr. John S. Foster, Jr., PhD in physics from Berkeley, and director of UC Livermore Lab 1961-65.

The directors of DCPG (later re-named Defense Special Projects Group) have been:

1966-68: Lt. Gen. (Army) Alfred D. Starbird; he later was put in charge of the ABM project.
1968-70: Lt. Gen. (Air Force) John D. Lavelle; he was later the commander in Indochina held responsible for “unauthorized” air raids over North Vietnam.
1970–: Maj. Gen. John R. Deane, Jr., who gave extensive testimony to the Senate hearings on the electronic battlefield.

Under DCPG the development of the electronic battlefield has been rapid. The details have been mostly secret, but we can piece together bits from such sources as Congressional hearings (particularly the Report of the Electronic Battlefield Subcommittee of the Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee of the Committee on Armed Services, U.S. Senate, 92nd Congress first session, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1971).

Within a year and a half (late 1967), one part of the anti-infiltration scheme was in operation in much the form proposed by Jason. This was IGLOO WHITE, the air-supported anti-vehicle system extending into Laos from South Vietnam.

In the latest version of this system which has been released, acoustic and seismic sensors are strewn by F-4 jet planes. Each sensor has its own transmitter. A patrol plane (now often an unmanned “drone” YQU-22B) picks up signals from sensors over a wide area and relays them to Infiltration Surveillance Center. This is an IBM 360/50 computer installation in Nakon Phanom, Thailand, where summaries of the sensor data are prepared for planning air strikes by bombers.

The computer output may be presented in sophisticated forms such as oscilloscope display on a map.

Computers are also involved in the choice of ordnance and allocation of targets to specific planes. Pilots ordinarily never see their targets, and indeed it is intended to replace manned bombers by unmanned drones. (Electronic Battlefield Report, p.9; Michael Klare, War Without End, pp. 185-187; George L. Weiss, “The Air Force’s Secret Electronic War”, Military Aviation. 1971.)

Both sensors and bombs have been provided with new camouflages, as recommended by Jason; here is a seismic detector whose antenna masquerades as a forest plant. [picture labeled ADSID – right image]

THE MCNAMARA FENCE ADAPTED TO ENDLESS WARFARE

At the same time that the vision of the Jason study was being brought to reality, it was expanding and ramifying. Far from substituting for general bombardment of populations, the new weapons and the new method of automated intelligence and tactics became welcome reinforcements to everything the military was doing.

The ramifications began as early as February 1968. The NLF’s general offensive at Tet had taken many towns and military posts, and the U.S. Marine stronghold at Khesanh was under sustained heavy attack. For several days there was a persistent rumor that the U.S. might be preparing to use tactical nuclear weapons. This rumor was based on a brief visit to Vietnam by a team of American civilian scientists with experience in military technology.

The White House vehemently denied that it was considering any use of nuclear weapons, and the Pentagon said the scientists’ trip was “to assist in the appraisal” of new non-nuclear weapons; there was speculation in Washington that the role of the group was related to the use of electronic devices to impede the infiltration of North Vietnamese into the South. (See New York Times, 2/11/68, p. 70.)

Two of the people in this group of scientists were Richard Garwin and Henry Kendall, physicists in the Jason Division. The other two appear to have been technical experts from the Pentagon and the electronics industry.

The new sensors were judged a useful adjunct of ground troop operations. Hand-emplaced acoustic sensors became standard equipment for U.S. ground forces in Vietnam, according to Gen. Deane’s testimony.

The once-dubious military seized on automation as the cure for the crisis of its conventional war. If the U.S. Army in Vietnam was “in a state approaching collapse” (Armed Forces Journal, 6/7/71) and the U.S. public was impatient for Nixon to proceed with troop withdrawals, then it was just the moment to turn over as much as possible of the surveillance to electronic devices and as much as possible of the shooting to remote-controlled bombers.

If, moreover, the U.S. and its allays had failed to “win the hearts and minds” of the Vietnamese rural population, then weapons which made the countryside uninhabitable became more acceptable.

This strategy of “generating refugees” was described admirably by Professor Samuel Huntington in 1968:

“In an absentminded way the United States in Vietnam may well have stumbled upon the answer to ‘wars of national liberation’. The effective response lies neither in the quest for a conventional military victory, nor in esoteric doctrines and gimmicks of counterinsurgency warfare. It is instead forced-draft urbanization and modernization which rapidly brings the country in question out of the phase in which rural revolutionary movements can succeed.”

(Foreign Affairs, July 1968, p. 655.)

Not only does the uprooting of the people from their productive resources undercut a prime motive force of revolution in underdeveloped countries, agrarian reform; but the forced concentration of millions of refugees into cities sets the stage for the development of an infant capitalist economy, dependent, of course, on U.S. corporations.

The population of Saigon, which has swelled from 300,000 to over 3 million people, is being overwhelmed by this type of development, including CocaCola, prostitution, and inflation.

AND NOW A WORD FROM THE SPONSORS

“Whatever the outcome of the war, America has embarked on a career of imperialism in world affairs and in every other aspect of her life”— Virgil Jordan

President of National Industrial Conference Board to the Investment Bankers Association, December, 1940

“Here in Venezuela you have the right to do what you like with your capital. The right is dearer to me than all the political rights in the world.”— A U.S. businessman quoted in Time magazine

September 21, 1952

“Businessmen are increasingly deciding that markets abroad, not those in this country, offer the biggest potential for future growth. The feeling grows that the U.S. market, while huge, is saturated.”— U.S. News and World Report

June 1964

“You’re in a saturated market here in the U.S., where new products are the only answer to growth. Abroad there are millions of people each year who reach the state in their cultural, social and economic development where they buy soap, toothpaste, and other things we sell.”— Official of Colgate Palmolive

quoted in U.S. News and World Report, June 1964

“The best thinkers on the subject in business and government agree that magnificent business opportunities await in Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. As the situation in Vietnam improves they expect the flow of business to double, triple, and quadruple… Vietnam is without a doubt one of the prime investment points for Southeast Asia.”— Nation’s Business

February, 1968

Automated warfare also has attractive domestic economic consequences.

To maintain a large ground force in some foreign territory means an outflow of American capital, which is harmful to the U.S. economic position in relation to other industrialized nations. It also means unemployment for American workers. On the other hand, if the military dollar is spent for the production of equipment – airplanes, electronics, munitions – then the domestic economy is given a boost. (In the latter case military spending is still a profound inflationary pressure.)

Reliance on automation has come to dominate the thinking of some of the generals, not only about Vietnam, but about all future wars, as well.

In a remarkable address on October 14, 1969, then Chief of Staff Gen. W.C. Westmoreland gave the first public report on the development of the electronic battlefield.

After reviewing the success of the new method of locating an enemy “naturally elusive and cunning in his use of dense jungle for concealment” in Vietnam, and explicitly giving credit to the scientists’ contributions to this success, he rhapsodized over the vistas before us:

“Comparing the past few years of progress with a forecast of the future produces one conclusion: we are on the threshold of an entirely new battlefield concept…

“On the battlefield of the future, enemy forces will be located, tracked and targeted almost instantaneously through the use of data links, computer assisted intelligence evaluation, and automated fire control. With first round kill probabilities approaching certainty, and with surveillance devices that can continually track the enemy, the need for large forces to fix the opposition physically will be less important…

“Today, machines and technology are permitting economy of manpower on the battlefield, as indeed they are in the factory. But the future offers more possibilities for economy. I am confident the American people expect this country to take full advantage of technology – to welcome and applaud the developments that will replace wherever possible the man with the machine.”

Notice the broadening of scope to other theaters of war in this testimony of Dr. John S. Foster, Jr. (Hearing before Senate Armed Services Committee, 5/14/69, p. 1853):

Senator Smith

On pages 1-17 of your statement you speak of battlefield sensors that have revolutionized land combat. Do you believe these sensor barriers will be useful anywhere outside of Southeast Asia? I would be interested to know what you think about them being used in Europe.

Dr. Foster

Yes, I have thought about this matter a great deal, Senator Smith, and I believe these sensors are applicable to other areas. Let me just indicate very quickly the types of things that are being accomplished in Southeast Asia.

Soldiers on the ground carry these sensors to particular places on trails where they suspect that the enemy will pass. They bury them there. They then retire to some nearby observation point, protected by trenches and behind sandbags, where they wait for enemy movements, When they hear the enemy come through those sensor fields they signal to our artillery, by telephone line, and artillery rounds are fired and fall on the enemy. They can hear the enemy screaming and yelling, and then they wait for the next intrusion.

This system has been so effective, and there is more detail in the back of my statement, that there has been no case where the enemy has successfully come through the sensor field. In most instances, by the use of this technique, the enemy has been forced to abandon these approaches and use others. It is a very, very successful system, whether it is delivered by air or by poor soldiers on the ground.

With regard to Europe, the kind of things one could do there would be to utilize aircraft to seed sensors in forested areas. Immediately after that, ground commanders would know whether or not there are enemy soldiers, trucks, or tanks in these large forested areas.

He will constantly know this because the entire area would be mined with these sensors. The enemy will not be able to move tanks in Europe over large areas without making so much acoustic noise that these sensors would detect the movement. Either seismic or acoustic types of sensors can be used.

This enthusiasm for the wide application of the new concepts led to a change in plans. In 1970 Gen. Lavelle, then director of DCPG, had told Congressmen that he expected it to be closed out the following year, since its initial mission – to prove that the instrumented battlefield was a workable system – had been completed.

However, when Gen. Deane, DCPG’s new director, appeared before the Committee the following year, he told a different story. The Secretary of Defense had decided not to abolish DCPG but to give it a new mission.

Under the new name of Defense Special Projects Group (DSPG), his organization was to focus on,

“expanding the sensor technology to provide the world-wide capability in both tactical combat applications and installation security.”

Also included in Gen. Deane’s request for funds from the Congress were one or more special development projects of “high priority.”

The details of these high priority projects have been deleted from the public testimony. One of these special projects seems to be an unmanned aerial platform for observation and fire-control [aiming and firing of weapons] using lasers, television, and other advanced electronic means; another seems to deal with making this or some other sensor system work in some special location or environment, which is secret.

Congressman Whitten of the House Appropriations Committee was unhappy about this new mission for DSPG and questioned Gen. Deane about it (Hearings, 6/4/71):

“Last year, my recollection is that you told the Congress you were planning to phase this operation out, and Congress agreed to phasing it out. Instead you have changed the name, enlarged it, and now the world is your playground. You are going to take on the world and do this around the world. Where is the support for any such expansion as this? …

“General Deane: When I arrived at this organization last July, the plan was to phase it out, sir. A number of people prevailed upon Dr. Foster to reconsider that decision.

“Mr. Whitten: Do you have the names of those people? We would like to know who they are and find out if they are within their rights. I don’t know if they stand in a better position than the folks who have to sign your checks. Who are they?

“General Deane: They were people who were members of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the DSPG, sir.

“Mr. Whitten: Could you give us some of their names for the record?

“General Deane: Dr. Garwin, Dr. Slichter, Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Buchsbaum, Dr. Lewis, and Mr. Deitchman.”

Three of these names appear on the Jason membership list: Garwin, Caldwell, and Lewis. (Harold Lewis is the chairman of Jason.)

Three names – Garwin, Slichter, Buchsbaum – appear on a list of PSAC members.

Sy Deitchman is identified by Foster, in other testimony, as one of the originators of the idea of the instrumented battlefield.
Solomon Buchsbaum is an executive for Bell Labs and a former vice-president of Sandia Corporation, a major weapons developer.
Charles Slichter is a physics professor at the University of Illinois.

Thus we are drawn to conclude that the clique of top-level scientific advisors were instrumental not only in initiating the electronic battlefield ideas (1966), not only in helping the implementation of the system in Vietnam (1968), but also in extending this new warfare system to a world-wide capability (1970).

The overall picture is not one of a sudden miraculous cure of a specific American military crisis.

New devices have been adopted in many cases reluctantly; and they have not always worked very well; and the NLF has met ingenuity with ingenuity, as Jason foresaw, sometimes quickly nullifying a technological marvel with a homely organic countermeasure (for example, an open pail of urine left in the forest smells like a platoon of Viet Cong to a helicopter-borne “people-sniffer”). (See Jack Anderson’s column of July 10, 1970; interviews with U.S. soldiers quoted by Ann Rosenberg in The Technological Warlords, 1971.)

Even IGLOO WHITE (image below) did not seem so infallible after the North Vietnamese went on the offensive in the spring of 1972, using tanks and other heavy equipment within South Vietnam. (San Francisco Chronicle, 9/16/72, p. 10; Electronics, 9/11/72, p.49.)

The picture is, rather, one of continual involvement of U.S. science in the proliferation of new weapons.

A former Berkeley professor, now a director of a major research lab and a member of Jason, once remarked that there is no such thing as an experiment that fails; if you do not get the results you wanted in the first program, take what you have learned and use it as the basis for a new, larger research proposal.

The technological wing of the military-industrial complex does not necessarily win wars.

We have seen that it certainly can help prolong them. Each new gadget can be used as an excuse for a new escalation – as the laser-guided “smart bomb” (though it had seen combat before) was presented as one of the justifications for the most recent bombing escalation in North Vietnam. (New York Times, 5/24/72)

The impressive and expensive technological arsenal does transfer the burden of the U.S. military effort from men to machines, as General Westmoreland said. The other side, which already had near-monopoly on public support in Indochina, has also a near-monopoly on traditional military virtues; and, of course, on casualties. If a sensor can’t tell the difference between soldiers and civilians, (Klare, War Without End, p. 173; Congressional Record, 3/23/71, p. s3621), the air-strike that it brings forth may still kill someone, and it is sure to contribute to the destruction of the countryside.

Today Indochina, tomorrow the world!

The new technology has already contributed to the capture of Che Guevara in Bolivia, and we have seen that it is considered adaptable to use in other theaters. The Army gives sensor system research “number two priority, following only the Vietnam war.” (Klare, War Without End, p. 205.)

Such is the key position occupied by the scientific weapon-makers.

OTHER JASON ACTIVITIES

We have concentrated on the Electronic Battlefield because it is an especially clear instance of Jason’s intervention contributing decisively to the prolongation of the Indochina war.

Hints of what is hidden appear in annual reports published by IDA (from copies supplied by New York Regional Anti-war Faculty and Students):

1965 Report: areas of Jason interest…”counterinsurgency, including the problem of personnel detection.”
1966 Report: “Increased Government attention to such problems as counterinsurgency, insurrection, and infiltration led to the suggestion that Jason members might be able to provide fresh insights into problems that are not entirely in the realm of physical science.”
1967 Report: “Jason’s work during 1966 related primarily to two of the larger current issues of national security:
1. antiballistic missile (ABM) systems for the United States
2. the war in Vietnam.”
“Jason continued work on technical problems of counterinsurgency warfare and system studies with relevance to Vietnam”
1970 Report: In 1969 IDA established an Office of Civil Programs to supervise its work in the “civilian sector”. Mr. Seymour J. Deitchman was appointed Director of this new office. (Deitchman has already been identified as deeply involved in the electronic battlefield development; and he was also identified, by Foster in earlier Congressional testimony, as director of ARPA’s Project Agile, the organization which conducts world-wide counter-insurgency research. Thus, we may draw some parallel between IDA’s expected role in the domestic civil sector and the well-known “civilian programs” executed by the United States in Vietnam.)

In some of these reports we can find listed titles of a few Jason research papers that seem to be relevant to Vietnam:

“A Study of Data Related to Viet Cong/ North Vietnamese Army Logistics and Manpower” (1966)
“Explosively Produced Flechettes” (1966) * [picture]
“Interdiction of Trucks from the Air at Night” (1966)
“Air Sown Mines for Specialized Purposes” (1967)
“Manned Barrier Systems – A Preliminary Study” (1967)

Some studies with suggestive titles were:

“Project SEESAW”
“REDEYE Countermeasures”
“The M.A.D. Report” (1967)

A list of IDA (unclassified) seminars includes the following provocative titles:

“The Electronic Soldier; Concepts For The Future Infantryman” (1969)
“Operations of the D.C. Executive Command Center During the Inauguration Weekend” (1969)
“The Value of Life In Combat Risk Situations” (1969)
“Crime and Its Correction In D.C.” (1969)
“Insurgency Patterns In India Today” (1969)

Since most Jason work is highly classified, and it is customary to keep secret the titles and even the very existence of most highly classified reports, we can conclude that this information represents only the tip of the iceberg.

Ida’s current recruiting brochure lists many technical areas of activity.

Included are:

Tactical Systems, Strategic Systems, Sea Warfare, Weapons Effects, Missile Defense, Strategic Offensive and Defensive Systems, Military Force Application Studies, Economic Analysis, Strategic Missile Survivability and Penetration, Nuclear Effects, Regional Security Studies, Political-Military Analyses, Government Organization and Crisis Management, Advanced Sensors, Climate Modification, Laser Technology, Advanced Avionics, …

These topics cover applications of advanced technology to several areas of interest to military-government interests.

These may be categorized as:

Strategic War (nuclear war, presumably with Russia)
Tactical or Limited War (such as Vietnam today)
Police Actions Abroad (counterinsurgency at lower levels)
Domestic Policing, Surveillance and Control Methods
Economic, Political and Social Analyses of domestic or foreign situations

One of the distant branches of the sensor development has been described by Joseph A. Meyer, a computer specialist working for the National Security Agency and funded by the Department of Defense (“Crime Deterrence Transponder Systems”, IEEE Transactions AES-7 no. 1, January 1971):

“A transponder surveillance system is based on three ideas. First, parolees, bailees, or recidivists will each carry a small radio transponder, which cannot be removed, as a condition of their release. This transponder will emit a radio signal which gives a positive and unique identification. Second, a network of surveillance transceivers will interrogate transponders in a neighborhood. Third, a real-time computer will receive the transponder reports, update location and tracking inventories for each subscriber, and control the surveillance process.

Every subscriber must be accounted for at all times… For urban areas, a mesh of transceivers would scan the streets, communicating with central computers to provide a public surveillance network.”

Meyer goes on to discuss special problems: Harlem – “a high crime area”; group actions and large-scale confrontations; juveniles; etc.

Among the references cited by Meyer to back up his ideas are several IDA reports.

Jason people have often stresses that Jason does non-military as well as military work, mentioning studies in air traffic control and the SST. However, since they will not tell us about current military projects there is no fair way for us to assess the balance.

The following assessment was given in a magazine interview by Dr. Alexander H. Flax, then IDA’s vice-president for research and presently president of IDA:

“‘We don’t expect to divert the forces of IDA into civilian projects. That would be inappropriate.’ Nor will the think tank cultivate more basic research. ‘That is not IDA’s cup of tea,’ said Flax… ‘I doubt this year if funding from other than DOD will get up to $1 million,’ said Flax. The Institute’s overall budget is about $13 million a year. ‘Probably, in the future, we’ll have greater flexibility in seeking out new horizons,’ Flax added. But those horizons do not presently encompass a time when civilian work will outweigh IDA’s military commitment.”

(Scientific Research, 8/18/69, p. 29 ff.)

In the fall of 1971, Professor Watson gave a seminar in Berkeley (at the Rad Lab) on the results of the Jason summer study project that he had just finished working on.

This was an overall review of the national research and development work in the field of lasers. Watson reviewed for his audience the academic and industrial areas of interest in laser research covered in the unclassified part of the Jason report. His figures indicated, however, that of the government’s $100 million annual outlay for laser work 90% was directed to military projects.

Watson could not discuss the military part of Jason’s report because it is all classified.

According to IDA’s 1970 report, 90% of their government income comes from the Department of Defense.

Jason People

The Jason people are “insiders”. They have access to secret information from many government offices and they expect their advice to be at least seriously considered, if not followed, by top-level policy-makers. Those who engage in criticism of government policies without the benefit of such inside access are termed “outsiders”.

SESPA (Scientists and Engineers for Social and Political Action) people are outsiders, along with plenty of other people.

When a debate arises between insiders and outsiders, invariably the argument is used that only the insiders know the true facts and that therefore the outsiders’ positions should not be taken seriously.

In our efforts to learn as much as possible about the work of Jason, we have not only gone over various published sources of information, but we also personally interviewed as many Jason people as we could find locally. What we learned was hardly anything new and concrete about Jason projects (the interviewees were very secretive about anything that might conceivably be classified information), but a great deal about the attitudes and perspectives these men hold toward their services to the government and the military.

In May, June and July, 1972, several Berkeley SESPA people arranged interviews with U.C. physics Professors Kenneth Watson and Charles Townes, molecular biology and physics Professor Donald Glaser, and Princeton physics professor Marvin Goldberger, who was visiting Berkeley; Professor Luis Alvarez (Berkeley physics) would not agree to a meeting but did engage in some individual conversations; Stanford physics Professor Sidney Drell was confronted with some questions during an October visit to this campus.

The following is a summary of these encounters.

KENNETH WATSON
Professor of Physics, UC, Berkeley

Watson was one of the group that founded Jason in 1959. At first they were thinking of forming their own private consulting company, but they finally decided to let IDA be their business manager; this avoided the problem of profits (taxes).

There is usually a 6-week summer study session and then a couple of long weekend meetings during the school year. Government people come and outline problems they would like Jason to solve. Most of the work is for the Defense Department. The purpose of Jason is to supply purely technical information for the government; it is non-political. Jason has never taken a position on any subject, as an organization: We are just a group of individuals.

When asked what projects Jason had worked on, he would consistently refuse to comment on any specifics, because of the official secrecy of their work. He would even refuse to comment on those things about Jason which have already appeared in public (through the Pentagon Papers).

As to his personal attitude about the military, he said that since it is an $80 billion budget he couldn’t make a blanket statement. When pressed to give some averaged evaluation, he said, “If I felt very strongly against [the military], I wouldn’t be in Jason. It’s a thousand dimensional space. It’s much more complicated than to give a simple answer to such a complicated question.”

At a faculty meeting during the time of the Cambodian invasion, 1970, Watson was heard to comment,

“Why is everyone getting so upset about such a little war?”

It is generally believed that Watson is heavily involved in military-related outside consulting work beyond Jason, but no detailed information on this is available.

During our interview he said that there was often a close continuity between the problems he worked on for Jason and the pure research he carried out in the University; and he pointed out that therefore there was often no clear-cut separation between the time he spent on one thing and the time he spent on the other.

CHARLES TOWNES
Professor of Physics, UC, Berkeley. Nobel Prize, 1964, for work leading to invention of the maser and the laser

Townes is undoubtedly the most involved and the most influential of the science advisers we have spoken with. In addition to his original and continuing association with Jason and IDA, he has served on PSAC and on special advisory committees for the President, has consulted for the AEC and the State Department, planned NASA policy, and helps direct affairs of the National Academy of Sciences. He also accepted a position as chairman of a new top-level science advisory committee for General Motors Corporation.

As vice-president for research of IDA, Townes helped set up the entire IDA service, as well as its Jason division. He felt that the in-group of scientists who had been influential in the government during World War II were getting rather old and some new blood was needed; so Jason was formed, with some of the country’s best young physicists, in the expectation that they could have an influence from inside the government.

In an earlier discussion, Townes described the government science advising business generally. He said that there was a good deal of incest, in that people with the most experience would be re-used; and there was a practice of bringing younger people into subsidiary committees where they could learn by experience how to handle things, then gradually move up if their performance was found satisfactory.

He listed the criteria as: talent, objectivity and willingness to work; it is also basic that the adviser accept the idea that he works privately for the agency or the person whom he is advising, complete secrecy is required even though the scientific recommendations given are often not followed.

He stated that the human element – the personal relations between the adviser and the advisee – is very important to the success of the advising process; yet he continually stressed that the advising was strictly objective, non-political, and related only to technical evaluations. He measured the success of IDA and Jason by the fact that several of its people were advanced to serve on PSAC.

Regarding Jason’s major work on questions of strategic weapons, Townes saw their role as working effectively between the two rivals: the Defense Department and the State Department. Defense, concerned primarily with the security of the U.S., was usually in favor of more weapons; State, concerned with keeping other countries happy, was more interested in arms control. Jason’s job was to transfer information between the two while making both parties feel that you were helpful to them.

Townes was involved in Vietnam war issues more through PSAC than through Jason. He claims that the Jason 1966 report recommending an end to the bombing of Noth Vietnam was not followed by the Administration because it had certain flaws – some of the statements in that report came “from the depth of the heart” rather than from objective analysis.

PSAC later did another study of this same problem and was more careful in its evaluation of the effectiveness of the bombing. Their report was delivered to President Johnson just a few months before the bombing was stopped (1968). When asked what he thought about Nixon’s present bombing campaign in North Vietnam, Townes replied that the situation is different now and he is not in close touch with all the facts. His personal feeling is that he is against the bombing, but he would not make a public statement against Nixon’s bombing policy because he is not well informed technically.

Philosophizing broadly, Townes said he thought the world would be better off if we didn’t have military establishments; but, since this is not the way the world is, since we don’t like to be kicked around, we do need a military.

Townes spoke about his feelings regarding the use of laser-guided bombs in Vietnam. His original research led to the invention of the laser, although he states that he has not had anything to do with laser-guided bombs. He would like to see the U.S. get out of Vietnam or arrange a truce. But this has not happened, and one has to accept the fact that a bombing policy is in effect.

Laser-guided bombs allow one to pinpoint on the target rather than scatter bombs all over the countryside. Thus, although it is a difficult decision, Townes felt that laser-guided bombs were a good and humane contribution.

In his office, on campus, Townes has a heavy steel file cabinet with a dial-combination safe lock.

The nameplate reads, “General Services Administration Approved Security Container, Mosler”. Another sticker reads, “Institute for Defense Analyses – IDA #1998; P.O. 14425”. Another notice on the safe asks that anyone discovering this cabinet to be open should immediately contact Townes, giving his home address and phone number.

Townes told us he thinks it is important to have a classified safe here on campus so that he can work with classified documents. In this way, he explained, the University makes useful contributions to the government.

DONALD GLASER
Professor of Physics and Molecular Biology, UC, Berkeley. Nobel Prize, 1960, for the invention of the bubble chamber

Glaser joined Jason about 1960; there were ten or fifteen members at that time, and he was recruited by Ken Watson. He joined because he wanted to be more effective in helping the government; also, through IDA they could be paid higher higher consulting fees than the government was allowed to pay directly.

An important motivation for scientists participating in Jason was the view that the Pentagon was often irresponsible in proposing large new weapons systems that would be very wasteful of money and/or would escalate the arms race, and Jason could hope to argue convincingly against such programs. Jason had extremely high levels of clearance to government information: Top Secret is a low level of clearance.

Among Jason members there were a variety of political points of view, and one could also see considerable changes in individual political outlooks over the years, according to Glaser. He admits that politics was not a small and incidental part of their considerations, and at various stages social and political scientists, economists, and others joined the conversations in an attempt to balance as many of the recognized factors in decision-making as they could deal with.

Glaser himself took part in the Jason 1966 summer study analyzing the effectiveness of the U.S. bombing in North Vietnam. Their report, which recommended a halt in the bombing, was greeted with favor by McNamara, but President Johnson did not follow that advice. In such cases when Jason’s advice was not taken, Glaser explained, the government felt that “non-technical factors” deserved overriding consideration.

In a more relaxed moment he expressed his feeling,

“I now think it was a con job – they used us technically but didn’t listen to us.”

Since that time (1966), Glaser stated, he has not participated in Jason activities, but he has not officially resigned because he would like to maintain his security clearance in case he should want to return to government service.

His general evaluation of his Jason work is as follows: Smart scientists make better weapons than dumb ones. If you prune out some bad projects, you definitely help the government: Jason was able to help both the military and civilian parts of the government. Regarding the political implications of helping the military, Glaser felt that the military has a legitimate role and it is better if that role is done well.

He is not in favor of enormous nuclear overkill but he is in favor of effective weapons serving purposes such as those in World War II., the defense of western Europe after that war, blocking nuclear missiles from Cuba, and supplying fighter planes to Israel. He disagrees with U.S. policies in Vietnam and in Greece but overall he supports the idea that the U.S. carries a responsibility for development of much of the world.

His current scientific research is in bacterial genetics. This could very well lead to some form of biological warfare but you can’t foresee the applications of science. You need the government to control this. Certainly science can be used for dangerous purposes, On the whole, as Glaser saw it, our society is successful, people don’t want revolution. And it is necessary that we constantly improve our weapons to be prepared to defend ourselves against the next Hitler.

When asked if the next Hitler might arise in America, he expressed confidence that it would more likely be in China or Russia.

MARVIN GOLDBERGER
Professor of Physics, Princeton University
Goldberger was chairman of Jason’s steering committee from 1959 through 1966. He was appointed to PSAC in 1965 and his last full-time participation with Jason was the summer study of 1967. He is at present not a member but is an Advisor to the steering committee. While chairman, he had a major responsibility for choosing topics of Jason summer study programs, including the 1966 study and report on the Vietnam war.

Jason had been concerned about the war in Southeast Asia for a number of years and had an informal study group during the summer of 1964. Prior to 1966, however, there was no actual involvement in specific war-related areas.

By mid-1965, Goldberger himself was becoming disillusioned about the U.S. involvement in the war. In early 1966, the steering committee decided that Jason should become involved more deeply and joined forces with the “Charles River Gang” (Kaysen, Kistiakowsky, Wiesner and Zacharias) who had independently proposed an involvement by the scientific community.

The combined group met for three weeks briefing on the war at Wellesley and two major study areas were identified:

An analysis of the effectiveness of the bombing of North Vietnam
The feasibility of construction of an anti-infiltration barrier, an idea originally suggested by Roger Fisher

It was this latter topic that was pursued by the true Jason Group at Santa Barbara. The whole effort was attributed to Jason, but this is incorrect.

Goldberger regarded the barrier project as a serious attempt to end U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The bombing campaign was a failure and a military victory by ground forces was impossible. By this time, Goldberger regarded the U.S. role in the war as completely immoral and was trying in some realistic way to work towards U.S. withdrawal.

With regard to the part of the study dealing with the air war, Goldberger stated that the conclusions reached were obvious at the outset. It simply was an ineffective method, militarily, of achieving the military objective of cutting off the flow of men and materiel. The problem was the reluctance on the part of the military to give it up. Even if it contributed 1 or 2% effectiveness to the total war effort, the military saw it as worthwhile.

Goldberger saw the barrier idea as something that could be substituted for the air war which would drastically reduce civilian casualties and which might lower the overall temperature of the war. McNamara liked the idea and in the wake of the Jason report, set up a large project in the Pentagon to develop and implement it. The current electronic battlefield is a much more sophisticated evolution from the Jason barrier concept.

The original Jason outline used only “state of the art” devices consisting of existing mines, sensors, and anti-truck, anti-personnel weapons designed to be deployed in the shortest possible time. The idea was to block the truck supply routes and to make travel over the Ho Chi Minh trail system sufficiently hazardous to slow down infiltration.

Goldberger and others hoped that the barrier, if successful, would lead to some sort of reasonable resolution of the war. This might take various forms, one of which would have been the withdrawal of U.S. ground forces either totally or into enclaves around the populated areas but disengaged from offensive actions with a reduction of the fighting to a level that it would be reported only on page 34 of the New York Times.

That is, barring a political solution, the war might just peter out.

With regard to the Jason Group more generally, Goldberger feels that overall it is a good thing. Since it is unfortunately necessary for the U.S. to maintain a defense establishment to deter strategic wars, we should have the benefit of the best technical advice. In addition, it is valuable to have an impartial critical group familiar with defense problems to counterbalance technically absurd military proposals.

Jason members are and have been the most effective and vocal opponents of the Safeguard ABM system and their credentials have made their opposition credible. (However, when asked about their failure to stop the U.S. deployment of MIRV – the multiple warhead nuclear missile – Goldberger said, “It (our advising) is a one percent effect; we’re not very important.”)

The group is currently involved in projects on behalf of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency as well as in many other unclassified civilian activities (such as air traffic control).

Goldberger is currently not working for the government except as a consultant to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He and many others would probably be willing (and in some cases anxious) to return to Washington if McGovern were elected. He said that working at high levels of the government is “very seductive” in many ways. But it is often much harder to try to work constructively within the system than to be an outside critic.

Good people are needed for both jobs.

LUIS ALVAREZ
Professor of Physics, U.C. Berkeley; Nobel Prize, 1968, for contributions to elementary particle physics

Alvarez has repeatedly refused to meet with SESPA people to discuss his involvement with Jason, although he has engaged in conversations with three of us individually. He states that his position in Jason is as one of the eight-man group of “Jason Advisors”, along with Herbert York, W.K.H. Panofsky and Marvin Goldberger. Alvarez feels that Jason is a young man’s organization and he can help it best by keeping in touch with their activities and offering advice based upon his World War II experiences.

He has acknowledged his contribution to the development of “star-light viewing devices” that have been widely used by the U.S. military in Vietnam. As a member of a government advisory committee in the early sixties, he urged the government to push the development of this technology because he saw that it would be an important weapon to use against guerrilla soldiers, who often use the night-time darkness to cover their movements.

President Nixon has recently appointed Alvarez to serve on PSAC.

When SESPA started compiling its material on Jason for this publication, we wrote to each of the above five Jason professors, saying, “Enclosed is a draft version of our summary of discussions that were held with you. We invite you to comment on this draft; and we would be interested in any additions or corrections that you think should be made to this draft.”

From Professors Alvarez, Glaser and Goldberger we received cooperative replies; and a number of their comments have been incorporated into the final versions we have presented.

From Professor Watson, we have received the following letter (dated October 10, 1972):

“This is in reply to your request for comments on your SESPA report following our conversation. This report contains several misrepresentations and/or quotations out of context. More significantly, it violates the conditions under which I agreed to meet with SESPA, which were that I would listen and you people would talk.

You do not have my permission to issue this report of our conversation.

Sincerely yours,
Kenneth M. Watson”

From Professor Townes, we received the following letter (dated October 6, 1972):

“I am replying to your note of September 29 enclosing a statement which you say is a summary of discussions held with me and you are considering publishing. The whole statement is so different in fact and in meaning from my information and from views I expressed that I find it difficult to see how it can be adequately corrected.

Relatively few sentences in the statement are free of some substantial error or misrepresentation. You do not have my permission to publish such a misrepresentation. In addition to ethical issues, a publication of this type would raise serious questions of damage to academic freedom and of libel.

Sincerely,
Charles H. Townes”

Many SESPA members were delighted with this response. (“Great. If he wants to sue us for libel, then we can get more discussion of this whole business in open court.”)

However, in an attempt at accommodation, a second letter was sent to these professors, urging them to point out in detail any portions of our material which they thought were inaccurate. Townes’ reply was a reiteration of his earlier position: condemning the entire piece and “strongly request(ing)” that we do not attribute these views and statements to him; but he did not cite even one example of anything in our summary that he objected to.

Watson has not replied at all.

MURRAY GELL-MANN
Professor of Physics at Cal. Tech. Gell-Mann is presently a member of PSAC. Nobel Prize, 1969, for contributions to the theory of elementary particles

In 1970, the Student Mobilization Committee published a set of secret minutes it had obtained on a 1967 Jason seminar on problems of counter-insurgency. The regular Jasonite participating was Dr. Murray Gell-Mann and the main thrust was to find ways of getting social scientists usefully involved in solving problems of interest to the military.

Selected quotes:

“Gell-Mann: Can we find out what effect increasing police density or ear cutting, or other negatives have on villager attitudes?”

“The assembled experts also occasionally strayed to the subject of whether a Jason social science (SS) division was necessary or possible.” …”A Jason S.S. group could focus on domestic as well as foreign countries. M. Gell-Mann suggested a focus on third (world) countries.” …

“Gell-Mann: The Jason idea has these advantages:

Jasons have a choice of problems.
The government has the use of their time.
They choose their own colleagues.
They can affiliate with agencies more readily.
The Jason prestige helps corruption and makes S.S. available to necessary tasks.”

“Gell-Mann: There are appeals: congenial group, money. interesting problems – like the existence of Thai communists.”

Gell-Mann has recently become involved in the ecology movement:

“We can see a need for humane rationality and, in some cases, an opportunity for scientists to participate…”

(Physics Today, May, 1971)

One question put to Gell-Mann in his Paris confrontation was:

“How could he be interested in the preservation of the American countryside from pollution by highways, without worrying about some 20 million bomb craters that pit the Vietnamese earth?”

(Le Monde, 6/15/72)

There is a story, widely circulated among physicists, that at some time several years ago Gell-Mann made a personal visit to Vietnam to study U.S. military problems there first hand.

SIDNEY DRELL
Professor of Physics at Stanford, and Deputy Director of Stanford’s Linear Accelerator

On October 2, 1972, Drell visited Berkeley and gave a physics lecture at the Radiation Laboratory. Several SESPA people wanted to question him about his Jason work and, after his planned lecture, he stayed on to defend his work for the government.

The Daily Californian reported the discussion with SESPA as follows:

“SESPA: I am very concerned with the role of science and its effect on warfare. Science helps the warfare. Science helps the war go on. How do you feel about the structure of science and the Vietnam War? Do you contribute to the electronic battlefield?

Drell: The organization I work for – Jason – is accused of this and that. Jason is a very secretive organization. I know very little about it. Since I’ve been in Washington, I’ve seen the government do things I like and things I dislike. We need to have critics not just on the outside, but on the inside too.

SESPA: What do you work on exactly?

Drell: I don’t feel obligated to tell you. Look at the record though. If one has any confidence in one’s government, one must do something, I think.

SESPA: There’s a problem though: there is no record of what you do in Jason. Oh, excuse me, there is about a one percent record. It’s nice to say, Sid (Drell), that the responsibility rests with the president, but that’s not all true. We have to ask about our scientists who advise the President (about the Vietnam War).

Drell: There’s a system in which all scientists are involved: some are on the outside; some are on the inside. I am on the inside, and you and other scientists are on the outside. I like this system of critics in and out of the government.

SESPA: Explain why you feel you must support Nixon.

Drell: Mr. Nixon is our President, and I will do anything, within reason, to support him. Take, for example, the SALT talks.

SESPA: The SALT talks aren’t really the point. When you say ‘support the President’ does that mean you’d kill Vietnamese?

Drell: Oh, Charley, why don’t you debate someone else? I thought this would be serious.”

Earlier we told of the 1968 trip of Garwin and Kendall (two Jason people) to Vietnam, apparently to work on the implementation of the electronic battlefield system.

A private source has informed us that Kendall, upon his return from that trip, stopped off at Stanford and had a long discussion with Drell on these problems. (Drell at this time was on PSAC.) SESPA asked Drell to comment on this report. He would neither confirm nor deny that he had met with Kendall on that occasion. He stated only that he had conferred many times with Kendall on many topics.

When pressed to be more specific, Drell finally admitted that he was “not totally ignorant” of the episode in question, but he refused to talk to SESPA about it.

While Gell-Mann was being confronted by young scientists in Paris last summer over his Jason work, Drell had similar experiences in Rome and in Corsica.

As reported in Physics Today (Oct. 1972, p.63),

“Drell was asked to denounce his participation in Jason and to condemn publicly ‘American war crimes.’ Drell refused, offering instead to discuss Jason with the students any time after giving his first physics lecture. This offer was rejected, and then Drell asked those who wanted him to start lecturing to stand. Only about five students rose, and Maurice Levy, director of the institute, said that if Drell could not talk the school would terminate.”

And so it did.

The current chairman of the Jason Group is Professor Harold Lewis, Professor of Physics at U.S. Santa Barbara. On September 28, 1972, SESPA wrote to Dr. Lewis asking if he could supply an up-to-date list of the people who are part of the Jason Group.

The best previous source we had was a list of the Jason members (43) published in 1970 by NACLA, and we asked Lewis if he would at least indicate what corrections should be applied to up-date that information.

His reply follows:

October 4, 1972
Dr. Charles Schwartz
Department of Physics
University of California
Berkeley, California 94720

Dear Charlie:

Were it not that hard experience has taught me the consequences of the release of people’s names, I would have no objection whatever to correcting your list (the number of correct names on it exceeds the number of incorrect ones, but the preponderance is by no means overwhelming).

Unfortunately, however, SESPA has compiled a miserable record, especially in New York, in its disregard for both truth and for minimal standards of human decency. When the personal harassment of individuals reaches the point at which a family receives anonymous phone calls threatening the lives of the children, I think that you and other honest people ought to seriously consider the Pandora’s box you have opened by giving this harassment some legitimacy.

You have no monopoly on outrage about the war in Vietnam, and history shows us what happens to a movement when it provides a haven for thugs. Gresham’s law is applicable.

SESPA often asks people whether they are concerned about the uses to which their work will be put, and I ask you the same question with regard to lists of names.

I really regret having to write such a negative letter, because I know that you and I could discuss the issues (fewer than you probably think) on which we differ in substance. The world has been making grudging and halting progress toward peace, and SESPA is more of a hindrance than a help.

Best regards,
Hal
H. W. Lewis

Our response to Lewis’ refusal to make public the membership of Jason is reproduced below:

November 30, 1972
Dr. H. W. Lewis
Department of Physics
University of California
Santa Barbara, California 93106

Dear Dr. Lewis,

As justification for refusing to help us up-date our list of Jason members, you cite alleged phone threats against a physicist whom SESPA had exposed. We find it absurd to compare these actions on the part of a few frustrated and powerless people to the bombing, burning, maiming and killing of millions of Asian people, which has been deliberately facilitated by the privileged Jason scientists who hide behind a veil of “scientific objectivity” and military secrecy.

You ask us to think about the consequences of making the work of Jason public knowledge. This we have done. SESPA is in favor of democracy; of public officials, including science advisors, who can be held accountable and responsible for their actions by the American public, whom they supposedly serve. A prerequisite for this is an informed and alert populace. Our aim, then, in publishing this information, is to aid in the process of accountability through normal political channels.

SESPA does not advocate threats against individuals. On the contrary, it is the arrogant and anti-democratic withholding of knowledge and power from citizens which may frustrate some to the point of desperate acts.

As for your comments on the prospects for world peace, the facts are clear. SESPA and SESPA members have been leaders in the active opposition to the war in South-East Asia, and the policies which engendered that war. In stark contrast, Jason scientists have been instrumental in providing the genocidal technology required for prosecuting the un-ending war in South-East Asia. While many of them, today, publicly profess to be against the war, they continue to contribute their scientific talents to the military.

In the last analysis, the difference between you and ourselves is a basic political difference. You seem to believe that world peace can be brought about only by the secretive manipulations of Nixon, Kissinger and the Jason scientists. We believe that it is the right, and indeed, the obligation, of the American people, working with the people of other nations, to bring about peace and justice in the world.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

A number of Jason scientists also involve themselves in the interaction of science with politics through non-governmental organizations. Drell, Goldberger, Glaser and Townes are all leading figures in the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), a 26-year old group of liberal, establishment scientists which tries to influence government policies on weapons development through Congressional lobbying.

In a recent mailing, FAS Chairman Goldberger asks scientists to “join with us in asking the Administration for a full accounting of past and present Executive Branch actions” concerning work on weather-modification in Vietnam and elsewhere.

We can wholeheartedly agree with Goldberger that,

“American pioneering in the use of weather modification as a weapon of war is, all in all, an intolerable misuse of science.”

SESPA would also ask FAS whether they also judge American pioneering in the use of the automated battlefield to be an intolerable misuse of science, and whether the many former (and current) Jason and PSAC people in the FAS should be expected to cooperate in a “full disclosure” of these and other weapons they have studied for the military.

Certainly not all Jasons agree with FAS politics. Kenneth Watson was identified (by Senator Fulbright during Senate subcommittee hearings in 1969) as a member of the right-wing American Security Council.

Mostly, the work, and even the existence, of Jason has been shielded from public view. Most scientists who know of their colleagues’ association with Jason take an attitude of “each is free to do as he pleases.” The first student protests against IDA occurred in 1967, at Princeton University, which hosts IDA’s communications research facility. Since that time, the SMC publication (1970) and the Pentagon Papers (1971) have done much to increase the awareness of Jason’s work.

Since last spring, the SESPA group at Columbia University in New York has been conducting a campaign around the five Columbia physics faculty members who work for Jason. SESPA has picketed and distributed informational leaflets not only at the campus physics building but also at the homes of some of the individual professors.

On April 24, 1972, a group including professors from twenty colleges and universities in the New York area joined with SESPA people and other Columbia students and supporters to occupy the physics building at Columbia for four days.

This non-violent act of civil disobedience was,

“a protest against the intensification of the air war in Indochina and the participation of physics professors at Columbia in the activities of the Jason division of I.D.A.”

Why They Do It

There is nothing new about great scientists working at new weapons: Archimedes, Leonardo, Kelvin all served their princely masters well in warfare.

In our time this service has become endemic, with regiments of scientists in every advanced nation working at new generations of weapons. And it should not be thought that these scientists work only at the instigation of the military; quite the contrary, the most novel weapons can not be anticipated by non-scientists and are often resisted by a conservative majority of career soldiers.

The atom bomb, the hydrogen bomb, intercontinental missiles, nuclear submarines, chemical and biological agents, the automated battlefield – all of these had, and needed, first-rate scientists to champion them, not just to supply them to the Pentagon’s order.

It is tempting to classify scientists, as other people concerned with political and military affairs, according to the labels Hawk or Dove. Indeed there are a number of scientists who show extreme xenophobia or bellicose anti-communism, and may fairly be called Hawks. Such was the late John von Neumann, and such, of course, is Edward Teller. But doves have been responsible for some of the most lethal innovations in modern warfare.

One thinks of the gentle and socially conscious J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Many of the Jason people fall into the second group. Some of them will speak clearly against the Vietnam war; a number of them have done so publicly. Some of them have given Congressional testimony critical of some Pentagon project. Some of them have done good work on some environmental problems. They are all creative scientists and often admired teachers.

In the interviews they commonly expressed concern about working for the good of humanity, and hope that Jason gave them a way to do so.

We detect several main types of justification for their work for the Pentagon.

1. THE MODEST COVER-UP

Jason’s work must be harmless because the government so often does not follow their advice.

This argument is belied by (for one) Dr. John Foster, the chief scientist for the Department of Defense, in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, May 14, 1969 (p.1782).

“I hope you will not be misled by those who suggest that DOD’s academic research represents a sort of ‘sandbox for scholars,’ irrelevant to Defense missions, unproductive technically, and, worst of all, inimical to the best interests of universities. The facts are quite different, and the historical record shows how authentically important academic research has been in serving national security.

“How have universities assisted in preserving the national security? It is not just the significant research results that have been produced, nor just the advanced training of thousands of students in technical areas central to defense, nor even the ability of scarce specialists who consult with you and us on the Nation’s most critical defense problems.

It is more fundamental. It is the great national advantage we possess because we are able to bring together essentially independent and well-informed people – from government, industry, and universities – over long periods for voluntary work on our tough problems. This is the core of our capacity for technical superiority.”

Although many liberal academic scientists, even government advisers, find themselves opposed to Dr. Foster on numerous issues, they understand and cultivate his crucial role in maintaining a high level of government support for academic research.

The quid-pro-quo by which “independent” academic scientists serve the federal government and the government generously pays for the kind of abstract research that the scientists enjoy conducting on their campuses is relatively subtle and indirect.

This benevolent arrangement is implied in Foster’s testimony (this is what that word “independent” boils down to); it is more frankly spelled out in this letter, dated February 26, 1964, from the Army Office of Research and Development to the chairman of the Department of Physics at Columbia University (copy supplied by N.Y. Regional Anti-War Faculty and Students):

“Any outright statement as to our ability to support specific work at the University is, of course, not possible. Nevertheless, the possibility exists that from time to time we may be able to directly support an effort or to assist the University in getting support from other Army agencies. To this extent then the assistance we request need not be a unilateral arrangement.”

The modest writing off of Jason’s war advising does not carry conviction. Granted that Jason members’ advice is not always followed, still it is clear that it is highly valued and it is sometimes followed, with far-reaching consequences; and it is even clearer that it is intended to be followed.

Jason’s 1966 plan for Vietnam:

“20 million Gravel mines per month; possibly 25 million button bomblets per month; 10,000 SADEYE-BLU-26B clusters per month; 1600 acoustic sensors per month,” along with assorted aircraft to mine, monitor and attack over an area of many hundreds of square miles.

A more realistic defense of scientific consulting through Jason is:

2.THE COUNTERBALANCE THEORY

which in its more extreme form might be called the boring-from-within theory. Jason people claim to moderate the excesses of the military by providing a liberal outlook, and by their independent perspective, free of vested interest in projects proposed by particular government agencies.

One aspect of this concerns the few occasions on which these informed “insiders” take issue publicly with some government policy. Most often mentioned are the names of Bethe, Garwin, York and Panofsky who were prominent in the public debate over the ABM (anti-ballistic missile system) in 1968-69.

The case of Richard Garwin is particularly interesting in this connection. At age 44, he is one of the younger stars of the government scientific advisory system, having extensive service with Jason and PSAC while a professor of physics at Columbia University and director of the affiliated IBM Watson Laboratory. Alvarez described Garwin as one of the brightest and most knowledgeable people in the advising business, an opinion which seems to be widely shared.

Several Jasons have pointed out that Garwin was appointed to a second term on PSAC even after he had published (with Bethe) the famous article in Scientific American which publicly criticized the Pentagon’s plans for the ABM system. This is offered as proof that Jason and PSAC people retain their independence.

A second story about Garwin concerns the SST (super-sonic transport airplane). Apparently, he knew of a secret PSAC report which was critical of the government’s plans for the SST; by leaking information to some Congressmen, Garwin eventually forced the White House to release the report.

What interests us particularly about Garwin is the fact that it was his name which came up most consistently in our research on the development of the automated battlefield. Garwin was placed on Jason’s steering committee in 1967; he was the leader of the 1968 (Tet) scientist group visiting Vietnam, and he was later identified as one of the members of the scientific advisory committee to the DCPG (1970).

On the basis of this meager evidence alone we could conclude that Garwin’s secret service for the Pentagon and for the White House has been so rewarding to them that they are willing to tolerate his occasional public deviations.

In any case, the “insider” style of criticism appears to be limited to means rather than ends. There is no evidence that Jasons advised, say, that the U.S. start abiding by the Geneva Agreement of 1954, or even that it abstain from any of the cruelest excesses of the war. Jason’s counsel to stop the bombing of the North was on the basis that it wasn’t working, not on the basis that it was better for Vietnamese to live than to die.

The objectives of the military effort were not open to question in the mind of the Pentagon, who was paying for the advice. Jason seems to have accepted this definition of the bargain. Not whether to suppress guerrillas in Thailand, but only how.

Indeed, many scientists argue that their professional role is to answer scientific questions, and only as citizens can they influence policy. Though the Jason scientists did not rely on this argument, it is more in tune with the “neutral technician” role they seem to take: using their objectivity and perspective on the military endeavor, not to influence what it is doing, but to help the military do whatever it is doing better.

Now we see a still more convincing explanation for working in Jason:

3.THE EFFECTIVENESS THEORY

The government should act on the basis of the best available information. If Jason didn’t offer scientific advice, someone else, less competent, would. “Smart scientists make better weapons than dumb ones.”

Now there is no doubt that both the scientific excellence of these top advisors and their relative objectivity can help the earnest McNamaras and their generals to accomplish their objectives better.

If we agree, and many of the Jasons do, that those objectives have been noxious, then this would seem a strange reason to justify their service to them! More explanation is required.

3A. THE PLEA OF IGNORANCE

or, we didn’t know it was loaded. Perhaps Jason members assumed through the early years of their involvement that the American presence in Vietnam was benign? After all, politics is not their field. Indeed, in some of them, we detect a certain alacrity to excuse (even exaggerate?) their own political naiveté.

This seems a mere pose – and one which they do not sustain, for at other moments they concede that politics is of the essence. By 1966, they had available to them the writings of Jean Lacouture, Bernard Fall, and David Halberstam, as the rest of us did, and in addition they had all the secret reports which we could see only in tendentiously censored versions.

They could get the true story of Ngo Dinh Diem’s installation in power, of his Strategic Hamlet program, of his overthrow, of the activities of the CIA – things which the public learned only later, after much effort.

We may agree that Jason politics were somewhat weak, in that knowing what was going on in Indochina they abetted it. But it would be embarrassing for these highly skilled scientists, with access to so much information, to claim that their politics are so weak that they did not know what was going on in Indochina!

There is no need for us to belabor the plea of ignorance because they do not make much of it. Even Donald Glaser, who is not pleased with the use the government made of his Jason work in 1966 and does not report having done any since, seems perfectly sanguine about offering his services to the Pentagon in the future and taking his chances on the consequences.

This is an instance of

3B. THE POSITIVE-INTEGRAL THEORY

This concedes that something went awry somehow in Vietnam but maintains that this is more than offset by all the good the U. S. military is doing elsewhere – in Europe and the Mid-East, maybe, or in deterring the Soviet Union, or even (some would say) in Taiwan. Or if you can’t manage to cite enough good it’s doing now, then throw in the good it may do in the future.

Thus Charles Schwartz describes the underlying assumptions when he worked at IDA (1962):

“Basically the assumptions boiled down to something like this: war is bad and nuclear war is terrible; the U.S. is the major force for good in the world; and communism – either in the form of Soviet power plays or in the form of scattered guerrilla movements – represents the major force for evil. Thus all questions of overall purpose are assumed answered.”

Now we do not agree that the Vietnam war is a unique lapse from a generally constructive U.S. policy.

We do not find the Yankee dollar so much less imperialistic in Latin America than in the Far East; we do not see that much less corruption in Chiang Kai-shek’s government than in Ngo Dinh Diem’s; we do not see any reason to expect Nixon to fight his next war any more altruistically or mercifully than the one in Indochina (though he will certainly try to fight it more successfully).

But even if the Jason doves regard the Vietnam war as an aberration, their appeal to the positive-integral theory puts them in a peculiar position. It is as if they witnessed inexcusable police brutality, and instead of choosing to expose it, joined in the crime, on the grounds that other policemen somewhere else were helping nice old ladies across the street. Non sequitur!

To help the government do evil more effectively is not a way to induce it to do good.

Above all, to arm the government for counter-insurgency does not strengthen it for defense of liberty. Counter-insurgency research is by definition research on how to support unpopular regimes, on how to subject lightly armed populations to the will of heavily armed minorities. True, popular regimes may need defending in some future war, but the techniques that will be needed will be techniques of defending civilians, not of bombing and “resettling” them. Techniques developed perhaps by the North Vietnamese – not by Jason.

We are left with a depressing conclusion. The liberal physicist has no basis at all to think he is doing any good by his eager service to the war machine.

Maybe he doesn’t care.

J. Robert Oppenheimer described his amorality frankly:

“…when you see something that is technically sweet you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb. I do not think anybody opposed making it.”

The context is relevant: Oppenheimer was pleading innocent to the charge of having applied moral standards when he later opposed the thermonuclear bomb! But his self-analysis seems incomplete, for he must have had “technically sweet” alternatives open to him in 1939 – say, astrophysics.

If it was not a moral, social objective which made the Manhattan Project seem more important, what then?

It seems clear that it was power. The confirmation that one can raise one’s hand and make a city appear – or make a city disappear, and that is likely to be easier.

In short, there is one plausible motive for the Jason dove:

4. BEING WHERE THE ACTION IS

The Kissinger complex.

He is attracted by the secrecy, by feeling close to the real center of power, by the gratification of having been admitted, by the size of the appropriations being discussed, by the sense of urgency, by the thrill of making history.

Accountability

One comment heard from several Jason people was that they were men deeply concerned over the possibility of their talents being used for harmful ends. This concern was usually phrased in terms such as,

“I have to make the decision, according to my own conscience, of whether I should continue to consult for the government.”

This seems to us to be a wholly inadequate way to put the question. A person’s conscience is not formed in a vacuum but needs to be responsive to the opinions and desires (and the rights) of others in the community; yet this needed dialogue is prevented from taking place because of the adherence to the secrecy rules of the military.

More important, however, in refuting this criterion of “personal conscience” is the fact that the work being done by these scientific advisors has major impact on policies that will spell life or death for people all over the world. In such circumstances, a posture of “I will decide what is best” is enormously arrogant.

In contrast to the Jason’s criterion of “private conscience” we propose that their work should be evaluated through a process of public accountability. As scientists, these men have taken the fruits of all science – past and current – to use in their secret designs for the military establishment: thus they should stand accountable to all scientists.

As professors at the universities (which most of the Jasons are) these men have taken the credentials of esteem and achievement from the entire academic community to propel themselves into their positions of influence with the government: thus they should stand accountable to all teachers, students and researchers who comprise the academic corpus.

And finally, as the results of their work are critical in determining policies of this nation, and those policies are often of vital significance to people across the globe, these men must stand accountable before all citizens of America and all people of the world.

An issue which arises in any campus controversy of this type is the appeal to academic freedom. When students try to stop, interfere with, or even question too closely, some university function (class, lecture, research project) that has a connection to some political controversy – they are accused of violating the academic freedom of those who scheduled the activity in question.

Such squabbles over “time, place and manner” often obscure the desired debate over the political substance. In the same way, our assertion that professors are answerable to the community for their Jason work may be obscured by charges that we want to restrict their academic freedom to engage in research of their choice.

Indeed, the cry of “academic freedom” has already been raised by Professor Townes in his letter asking us not to publish the summary of our discussions with him. Townes does not explain what aspect of academic freedom he sees as relevant to this situation. It would appear, however, that he is claiming the right, under academic freedom, to keep his Jason, and other, outside consulting activities a secret from the public view. In fact, it is academic privilege which Professor Townes so staunchly defends.

Special privilege, claimed by the professor but not offered to the graduate student. The freedom of the big shot to do whatever he pleases without concern to his obligations to the University or anybody else. Are we to expect that a professor’s secret, paid, highly political work will have no effect, even covert or unconscious, on the “objective” knowledge he imparts in the classroom? Can students evaluate classroom presentations from highly respected experts without knowing what they are paid for on the side?

This issue of outside consulting by university faculty goes beyond the immediate issue of Jason. The universities abound with faculty who consult, not only for the military, but for many governmental agencies and private corporations as well; consulting which takes time away from legitimate academic pursuits while adding significantly to the personal income of the consultant professor.

“Academic freedom” cannot be a legitimate excuse for not revealing the full scope of one’s outside consulting activities – the point of academic freedom was originally to protect the powerless and sometimes unpopular scholar from the tyranny of the establishment.

Professor Townes, and his like, have no right to use this tradition to conceal the establishment’s secrecy and their choice in selling out to it.

Clearly we cannot depend on the institutions of establishment science to correct the abuses of consulting privilege.

On the contrary, a committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Science recommended the following “cannon of ethics for applied scientists and technicians”:

“Absolute secrecy where patients and industrial advantages are concerned; discretion in diplomatic matters where secrecy is essential during preliminary negotiations so that the negotiators are free to change their minds; security in matters of defense; confidentiality towards clients and patients; and loyalty to employing institutions where institutional aims are at stake.”

(Science, Vol 163, 1969, p.787)

With a few notable exceptions (such as radiation physicists John Gofman and Arthur Tamplin), it is clear that academic consultants will not spontaneously become accountable and responsible to the public.

It is up to those of us in the scientific and academic community, and in the general public, who see the dangers of unbridled academic privilege to bring about academic accountability by our own initiative.

Conclusion

In summary, we have seen that Jason scientists not only drew up the original plans for the automated battlefield in Vietnam, they also pointed the way for the future refinements of the system, continued to write study reports on particular aspects, made some personal visits to the field of battle to observe implementation of the scheme, and persisted in encouraging the military to expand its development of this new kind of warfare capability for worldwide use in the future.

(One thing we can be certain of: what we have presented in this booklet is only a small part of the whole story of scientists’ complicity with the military. There is undoubtedly more secret work on the Vietnam war that Jason has carried out which has been kept from outside view; there is more than Vietnam that Jason works on for the military; and there is more than just the Jason Group through which academic scientists work for war.)

(Most of the Jasons we spoke with would rather talk, and boast, of their contributions toward peace through work on arms control – concerning strategic nuclear bombs, missiles and submarines vis-a-vis the Soviet Union. Some have pointed with pride to the nuclear test ban treaty and the recent SALT agreement. A full discussion of these issues is outside the scope of this booklet but it should be noted here that the arms race has yet to be stopped and the Nixon policy – peace through strength – calls for new escalations in the technology of strategic armaments: and we may expect scientists of the Jason calibre have been and will be instrumental in helping the Pentagon get the “best” new weaponry that this country can produce.)

The overall result of Jason’s, and other government scientists’ contributions to the Vietnam war may be summarized as follows. Science has not won the war for the U.S., but it has been essential in preventing, or at least in postponing, a defeat for the U.S. aims in Indochina. (At this writing, it is unclear whether the “peace” which was announced to be “at hand” just before the Presidential election will prove to be a reality or a fraud.)

Certainly, for the people of Indochina, the new style of American warfare, relying on high technologies and enormous firepower, has exacted a very painful price for their resistance to Nixon-America’s idea of peace with honor.

It is also clear that the new military capabilities developed in Vietnam – automated devices to locate, track and, when desired, to destroy any object – will be available for use in the future. These devices, and their refinements, will stand as a potent threat to liberation movements abroad and at home.

If we were reading a Greek tragedy, we might say that the Jason scientists cannot be blamed for the monsters they have created, they are merely fulfilling the destiny laid out by Orwell in his prophetic book, 1984.

But, being alive now, in the midst of this story, we would rather act than weep.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

The European scientists and students who confronted Gell-Mann, Drell and other Jasons last summer asked that these men acknowledge their contributions to the U.S. war effort in Vietnam and asked them to denounce this continuing criminal war.

From us – American citizens, American scientists, American students and teachers – the demands upon these of our own colleagues should be no less. We have a right, indeed a duty, to demand from the Jasons full accountability for their service to the military.

Just what this accounting should encompass and just what political processes should be employed to attain this end is something that needs to be widely discussed.

The first step should be to circulate the information in this booklet so that the people on each campus can confront the Jason-types who reside or visit in their midst. The second step should be to undertake intensive research in order to uncover the full extent of outside consulting by faculty; then the people in each location can decide the best ways for them to move on these issues.

We will present, below, a few of our own thoughts on this subject.

Many of us, like the authors of this booklet, are already convinced that the U.S. military establishment, as it is now, constitutes the dominant force for death, destruction and the suppression of popular movements for liberation throughout the capitalist ruled world. What we say to the Jason scientists is, Cease all your services for the Pentagon; repudiate the U.S. militaristic policies and the corruptions of science in that service; reveal whatever inside information you have about the military. Ellsberg did.

Those scientists who continue to work actively in support of imperialistic and warlike policies must be viewed, in some sense, as our enemies; we shall oppose them politically, as we have opposed Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and their many henchmen, both in and out of uniform, who have been their willing agents in prosecuting the war.
To members of the scientific profession as a whole, we speak as follows. Silence, acquiescence, laissez-faire attitudes toward the military involvement of a few scientists cannot be a sufficient reply to the questions of social responsibility in science. If we are to maintain our own hopes that science can really amount to more good than evil, if we are to keep – or to regain – the respect of the non-scientific public, then we must take some actions to offset the desecrations that our profession has incurred through the Vietnam atrocity. We call on all scientists to follow, not the highest bidder or the biggest dealer, but the worthiest uses of science and technology. The call for a more humane re-orientation of scientific efforts has been heard before; perhaps the story of Jason, because it is such a clear and odious example of the misuse of science, can serve as a pivot for a new turning. We ask all our fellow scientists to adopt these minimum habits:
1. Gather, and publicize information on the misuses of science
2. Reject the rule of secrecy, insist on public accountability for all scientific endeavors
3. Maintain dialogue on these issues with your colleagues, both in and out of government service, and do not shy away from letting the Jason-types know what you think of them and their work
To the general academic community we ask the questions:
1. What do you think about professors who consult for war-making?
2. for profit-making?
3. for power-making?
4. Is it even known how much outside consulting is done by your local faculty “apparatchiks”?
5. What special outside interests do they consult for?
6. What justifications can there be for maintaining secrecy about either the extent or the substance of this consulting work?
7. Isn’t it paradoxical to allow secret military consulting by faculty members on campuses where secret military research projects are outlawed?
8. When faculty members, such as Jason people, consult outside the university, whose interests do they serve?
9. Their own?
10. The university’s?
11. Their employers?

Inside Front Cover

Physicists have consistently underplayed the major extent to which their subject is responsible for the modern horrors of war.

The post-bomb generations have a dramatically changed attitude to the world in direct consequence of what, even 27 years after, remains a terrifying sword of Damocles. A threat, moreover, whose fearful reality is in no sense diminished by lesser technological evils.

It was physicists who produced laser bombing; it was physicists who invented the electronic battlefield; it was physicists who devised plastic anti-personnel bombs. “Gravel”, Spider Mines”, “Daisy Cutters” – and a plethora of other perversions. Why shouldn’t the public distrust them as a race?

They do little to purge their own ranks of the monsters who contrive such appalling inhumanities.– Peter Stubbs

Editor of NEW SCIENTIST, in NEW SCIENTIST, August 24, 1972.

Inside Back CoverProfessor Hans Bethe of Cornell University wrote to the physicists at the Trieste meeting, defending his Jason friends from what he felt were some inaccurate statements that had been circulated about Jason’s work for the Vietnam war.

The following reply was written by the young French physicist, Daniel Schiff, of the University of Paris Laboratory at Orsay.

Dear Professor Bethe,

I have read your letter addressed to Bruno Vitale, and distributed to all the participants to the Symposium at Trieste, and after reading it I was wondering whether we are not progressively losing any sense of reality: imagine a discussion on the chemists who advised the Nazis as to which gas to use in the gas-chambers, and people starting to distinguish between those who worked on “cyclon A” and those who worked on “cyclon B”…

It seems that, concerning the overwhelming atrocity of the sufferings imposed on the Vietnamese by the US bombs, we are no longer horrified: it may be that we have been given so many figures, so many technical details that we can no longer think about the human beings on which all these bombs fall. Or is it, as Chomsky puts it in “American Power and the New Mandarins”, that we have become totally immune to the sufferings of others?

You inform Vitale that Jason has never worked on plastic fragmentation bombs. Is this really relevant? Should one not rather be appalled by scientists recommending that be dropped on the Vietnamese “10000 SADEYE-BLU-26B clusters” (i.e. steel fragmentation bombs) per month (Pentagon Papers, Gravel edition, vol. IV, page 122)?

To quote Chomsky again:

“By entering into the arena of argument and counterargument, of technical feasibility and tactics, of footnotes and citations, by accepting the presumption of legitimacy of debate on certain issues, one has already lost one’s humanity.”

Perhaps moral statements of that kind can awaken us, could have helped awaken the physicists at Trieste, more than the technical information contained in your letter.

Sincerely yours,

Daniel Schiff

Part 1 of 3

History is replete with whispers of secret societies.

Accounts of elders or priests who guarded the forbidden knowledge of ancient peoples. Prominent men, meeting in secret, who directed the course of civilization are recorded in the writings of all people.

The oldest is the Brotherhood of the Snake, also called the Brotherhood of the Dragon, and it still exists under many different names. It is clear that religion has always played a significant role in the course of these organizations. Communication with a higher source, often divine, is a familiar claim in all but a few.

The secrets of these groups are thought to be so profound that only a chosen, well-educated few are able to understand and use them. These men use their special knowledge for the benefit of all mankind. At least that is what they claim. How are we to know, since their knowledge and actions have been secret? Fortunately, some of it has become public knowledge.

I found it intriguing that in most, if not all, primitive tribal societies all of the adults are members. They are usually separated into male and female groups. The male usually dominates the culture. Surprisingly, this exactly resembles many civilized secret societies. This can only mean that the society is working not against established authority, but for it. In fact, could be said to actually be the established authority.

This would tend to remove the validity of any argument that all secret associations are dedicated to the “destruction of properly constituted authority.” This can only apply, of course, where the secret society makes up the majority or entirety of any people which it affects. Only a very few fall into this category.

Secret societies in fact mirror many facets of ordinary life.

There is always an exclusivity of membership, with the resultant importance attached to being or becoming a member. This is found in all human endeavors, even those which are not secret, such as football teams or country clubs. This exclusivity of membership is actually one of the secret societies’ most powerful weapons. There is the use of signs, passwords and other tools. These have always performed valuable functions in man’s organizations everywhere.

The stated reason, almost always different from the real reason, for the societies’ existence is important.

The comradeship is especially important. Sharing hardships or secrets has always been a special thrill to man. No one who undergone the rigors of boot camp is ever likely to forget the special feeling of belonging and comradeship that was shared between the victims of the drill sergeant or company commander. It is an emotion born of initiation. The most potent tool of any secret society is the ritual and myth surrounding initiation. These special binding ceremonies have very deep meaning for the participants.

Initiation performs several functions which make up the heart and soul of any true secret society. Like boot camp, the initiation into the armed forces, important aspects of human thought that are universally compelling, are merged to train and maintain the efforts of a group of people to operate in a certain direction. Initiation bonds the members together in mysticism.

Neophytes gain knowledge of a secret, giving them special status. The ancient meaning of neophyte is “planted anew or reborn.” A higher initiation is in reality a promotion inspiring loyalty and the desire to move up to the next rung. The goals of the society are reinforced, causing the initiated to act toward those goals in everyday life.

That brings about a change in the political and social action of the member.

The change is always in the best interest of the goals of the leaders of the secret society. The leaders are called adepts. This can best be illustrated by the soldier trained to follow orders without thinking. The result is often the wounding or death of the soldier for the realization of the commander’s goal which may or may not be good for the overall community.

Initiation is a means of rewarding ambitious men who can be trusted. You will notice that the higher the degree of initiation the fewer the members who possess the degree. This is not because the other members are not ambitious but because a process of very careful selection is being conducted. A point is reached where no effort is good enough without a pull up by the higher members. Most members never proceed beyond this point and never learn the real, secret purpose of the group.

The frozen member from that point on serves only as a part of the political power base as indeed he has always done. You may have guessed by now that initiation is a way to determine who can and cannot be trusted.

A method of deciding exactly who is to become an adept decided during initiation by asking the candidate to spit upon the christian cross. If the candidate refuses, the members congratulate him and tell him, “You have made the right choice, as a true adept would never do such a terrible thing.” The newly initiated might find it disconcerting, that he/she never advances any higher. If instead, the candidate spits upon the cross, he/she has demonstrated a knowledge of one of the mysteries and soon will find him/herself a candidate for the next higher level.

The mystery is that religion is but a tool to control the masses. Knowledge (or wisdom) is their only god, through which man himself will become god. The snake and the dragon are both symbols of wisdom. Lucifer is a personification of the symbol. It was Lucifer who tempted Eve to entice Adam to eat of the tree of knowledge and thus free man from the bonds of ignorance.

The WORSHIP (a lot different from STUDY) of knowledge, science, or technology is Satanism in its purest form, its secret symbol is the all-seeing eye in the pyramid.

Undesirable effects of secret societies and their aura of mystery has sometimes given them the reputation for being abnormal associations or, at the very least, strange groups of people. Whenever their beliefs are those of the majority they are no longer considered antisocial. A good example is the Christian church, which was at one time a secret society under the Roman Empire.

In fact, the “Open Friendly Secret Society” (the Vatican) actually ruled most, if not all, of the known world at one time.

Most secret societies are generally considered to be antisocial; they are believed to contain elements that are not liked or are outright harmful to the community in general. This is exactly the case in some instances. Communism and fascism are secret societies in many countries where they are prohibited by law. In this country the Nazi party and the Ku Klux Klan are secret societies due mostly to the fact that the general public is disgusted by them.

Their activities are sometimes illegal, thus the secrecy of their membership.

The early Christians were a secret society because Roman authorities considered them from the start to be dangerous to imperial rule. The same was true of the followers of Islam. The Druseed and Yezidis in Syria and Iraq consider the Arabs a dangerous secret society dedicated to the takeover of the world. The Arabs today think the same of the Jews. Catholics and Freemasons used to have precisely the same ideas about each other.

In many primitive or backward societies initiation into the highest degrees of the group involved subjection to trials which not infrequently resulted in death or insanity for the candidate. It can be seen that social right and wrong is not the yardstick in estimating the value of a secret society. In Borneo, initiates of hunting societies, consider it meritorious and compulsory to hunt heads. In Polynesia, infanticide and debauch were considered essential for initiation into their societies, where the tribal code needed members who indulged in these things, as pillars of society.

Since the beginning of recorded history, governmental bodies of every on have been involved with maintaining the status quo to defend the establishment against minority groups that sought to function as states within states or to oust the constituted authority and take over in its place.

Many of these attempts have succeeded but have not always lasted. Man’s desire to be one of the elect is something that no power on earth has been able to lessen, let alone destroy. It is one of the “secrets” of secret societies. It is what gives them a political base and lots of clout. Members often vote the same and give each other preference in daily business, legal, and social activities. It is the deepest desire of many to be able to say, “I belong to the elect.”

Houses of worship and sacrifice existed in the ancient cities. They were in fact temples built in honor of the many gods. These buildings functioned often as meeting places for philosophers and mystics who were believed to possess the secrets of nature. These men usually banded together in seclusive philosophic and religious schools.

The most important of all of these ancient groups is the Brotherhood of the Snake, or Dragon, and was simply known as the Mysteries. The snake and dragon are symbols that represent wisdom. The father of wisdom is Lucifer, also called the Light Bearer. The focus of worship for the Mysteries was Osiris, the name of a bright star that the ancients believed had been cast down onto the earth.

The literal meaning of Lucifer is “bringer of light” or “the morning star.” After Osiris was gone from the sky, the ancients saw the Sun as the representation of Osiris (“…it is claimed that, after Lucifer fell from Heaven, he brought with him the power of thinking as a gift for mankind.” Fred Gittings, Symbolism in Occult Art)

Most of the greatest minds that ever lived were initiated into the society of Mysteries by secret and dangerous rites, some of which were very cruel. Some of the most famous were known as Osiris, Isis, Sabazius, Cybele and Eleusis. Plato was one of these initiates and he describes some of the mysteries in his writings.

Plato’s initiation encompassed three days of entombment in the Great Pyramid, during which time he died (symbolically), was reborn, and was given secrets that he was to preserve. Plato’s writings are full of information on the Mysteries.

Manly P. Hall stated in his book, The Secret Teachings of All Ages that,

“…the illumined of antiquity… entered its (pyramid of Giza) portals as men; they came forth as gods.”

The ancient Egyptian word for pyramid was khuti, which meant “glorious light.” Mr. Hall says also, “The pyramids, the great Egyptian temples of initiation…”

According to many, the great pyramids were built to commemorate and observe a supernova explosion that occurred in the year 4000 B.C. Dr. Anthony Hewish, 1974 Nobel Prize winner in physics, discovered a rhythmic series of radio pulses which he proved were emissions from a star that had exploded around 4000 B.C. The Freemasons begin their calendar from A.L., “In the Year of Light,” found by adding 4000 to the modern year. Thus 1990 + 4000 = 5990 A.L.

George Michanowsky wrote in The Once and Future Star that,

“The ancient Sumerian cuneiform… described a giant star exploding within a triangle formed by… Zeta Puppis, Gamma Velorum, and Lambda Velorum… located in the southern sky…. [An] accurate star catalogue now stated that the blazing star that had exploded within the triangle would again be seen by man in 6000 years.”

According to the Freemason’s calendar it will occur in the year 2000, and indeed it will.

The spacecraft called Galileo is on its way to Jupiter, a baby star with a gaseous makeup exactly the same as our sun, with a load of 49.7 pounds of plutonium, supposedly being used as batteries to power the craft. When its final orbit decays in December 1999, Galileo will deliver its payload into the center of Jupiter. The unbelievable pressure that will be encountered will cause a reaction exactly as occurs when an atomic bomb is exploded by an implosion detonator.

The plutonium will explode in an atomic reaction, lighting the hydrogen and helium atmosphere of Jupiter and resulting in the birth of the star that has already been named Lucifer.

The world will interpret it as a sign of tremendous religious significance. It will fulfill prophecy. In reality it is only a demonstration of the insane application of technology by the JASON Society which may or may not even work.

They have practiced overkill to ensure success, however, as the documents that I read while in Naval Intelligence stated that Project GALILEO required only five pounds of plutonium to ignite Jupiter and possibly stave off the coming ice age.

Global warming is a hoax. It is easier for the public to deal with and will give the ruling elite more time before panic and anarchy replace government. The reality is that overall global temperatures are becoming lower. Storms are becoming more violent and less predictable.

The icecaps at the poles are growing larger. The temperate zones where food can be grown are shrinking. Desertification is increasing in the tropics. An ice age is on its way, and it will occur suddenly.

Simultaneously a vault containing the ancient records of the earth will opened in Egypt. The opening of the vault will usher in the millennium. A great celebration has already been planned by the Millennium Society to take place at the pyramids in Egypt.

According to the January 3, 1989, edition of the Arizona Daily Star,

“President-elect Bush is spending this New Year’s holiday at Camp David, Maryland, but in 10 years he may be in Egypt. Organizers of the Millennium Society say he’s already committed to ushering in the next century at the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Giza.”

The first secret that one must know to even begin to understand the Mysteries is that their members believe that there are but few truly mature minds in the world.

They believe that those minds belong exclusively to them. The philosophy that follows is the classic secret-society view of humanity:

“When a person of strong intellect is confronted with a problem which calls for the use of reasoning faculties, they keep their poise and attempt to read a solution by garnering facts bearing upon the question. On the other hand, those who are immature, when confronted by the small problem, are overwhelmed. While the former may be said to be qualified to solve the mystery of their own destiny, the latter must be led like a bunch of animals and taught in the simplest language.

Like sheep they are totally dependent upon the shepherd. The able intellect is taught the Mysteries and the esoteric spiritual truths. The masses are taught the literal, exoteric interpretations. While the masses worship the five senses, the select few observe, recognizing in the gulf between them the symbolic concretions of great abstract truths.

“The initiated elect communicate directly toGods(ALIENS?) who communicate back to them. The masses sacrifice their lambs on an altar facing a stone idol that can neither hear or speak. The elect are given knowledge of the Mysteries and are illumined and are thus known as

The Illuminatior the Illuminated Ones, the guardians of the ’Secrets of the Ages.”’

Three early secret societies that can be directly connected to a modern descendant are the cults of,

Roshaniya
Mithras
their counterpart, the Builders

They have many things in common with the Freemasons of today as well as with many other branches of the Illuminati.

For instance, common to the Brotherhood are,

the symbolic rebirth into a new life without going through the portal of death during initiation
reference to the “Lion” and “the Grip of the Lion’s Paw” in the Master Mason’s degree
the three degrees, which is the same as the ancient Masonic rites before the many other degrees were added
the ladder of seven rungs; men only; and the “all-seeing eye.”

Of special interest is the powerful society in Afghanistan in ancient times called the Roshaniya – illuminated ones.

There are actually references to this mystical cult going back through history to the House of Wisdom at Cairo.

The major tenets of this cult were: the abolition of private property; the elimination of religion; the elimination of nation states; the belief that illumination emanated from the Supreme Being who desired a class of perfect men and women to carry out the organization and direction of the world; belief in a plan to reshape the social system of the world by first taking control of individual countries one by one, and the belief that after reaching the fourth degree one could communicate directly with the unknown supervisors who had imparted knowledge to initiates throughout the ages.

Wise men will again recognize the Brotherhood.

The important fact to remember is that the leaders of both the right and the left are a small, hard core of men who have been and still are Illuminists or members of the Brotherhood. They may have been or may be members of the Christian or Jewish religions, but that is only to further their own ends. They give allegiance to no particular nation, although they have used nationalism to further their causes.

Their only concern is to gain greater economic and political power. The ultimate objective of the leaders of both groups is identical. They are determined to win for themselves undisputed control of the wealth, natural resources, and manpower of the entire planet. They intend to turn the world into their conception of a totalitarian socialist state. In the process they will eliminate all Christians, Jews, and atheists. You have just learned one, but only one, of the great mysteries.

The Roshaniya also called themselves the Order. Initiates took an oath that absolved them of all allegiance except to the Order and stated,

“I bind myself to perpetual silence and unshaken loyalty and submission to the Order…. All humanity which cannot identify itself by our secret sign is our lawful prey.”

The oath remains essentially the same to this day.

The secret sign was to pass a hand over the forehead, palm inward; the countersign, to hold the ear with the fingers and support the elbow in the cupped other hand.

Does that sound familiar? The Order is the Order of the Quest.

The cult preached that there was a spirit state completely different from life as we know it. The spirit could continue to be powerful on earth through a member of the Order, but only if the spirit had been itself a member of the Order before its death. Thus members of the Order gained power from the spirits of the dead members.

The Roshaniya took in travelers as initiates and then sent them on their way to found new chapters of the Order. It is believed by some that the Assassins were a branch of the Roshaniya. Branches of the Roshaniya or “the illuminated ones” or the Illuminati existed and still exist everywhere. One of the rules was not to use the same name and never mention “the Illuminati.” That rule is still in effect today. I believe that it is the breaking of this rule that resulted in Adam Weishaupt’s downfall.

One of the greatest secrets of the ages is the true story of the Holy Grail, the robe of Jesus, the remains of the Cross of Crucifixion, and whether Jesus actually died or if he survived and produced a child.

Many myths surround the Knights Templar concerning these relics, and most myths throughout history always have at least some basis in fact. If my sources are correct, the Knights Templar survive today as a branch of the Illuminati and guard the relics, which are hidden in a location known only to them.

We know that the Templars are Illuminati because the Freemasons absorbed and protected those that escaped persecution of the church and France, just as the Freemasons would absorb and protect Weishaupt’s Illuminati centuries later. The Knights Templar exist today as a high degree of Freemasonry within the Templar Order.

In fact, the Knights Templar is a branch of the Order of the Quest.

The DeMolay Society is branch of the Freemasons that consecrates the memory of the persecution of the Knights Templar and in particular, their leader Jacques deMolay.

I know, because I was a member of the DeMolay Society as a young adult. I loved the mystery and ritual. I became separated from the Society when my family moved to a location out of reach of any lodge. I believe to this day that my association with the DeMolay Society may have been the reason for my selection for Naval Security and Intelligence.

According to members of the intelligence community, when the New World Order is solidified the relics will be taken out, will be united with the Spear of Destiny, and will, according to legend, give the world’s ruler absolute power. This may confirm beliefs passed down through the ages that describe the significance of these relics when united in the hands one man. It explains Hitler’s desperate search World War II. (Gen. Patton had claimed it after defeat)

The Knights Templar were founded sometime during the 11^th century in Jerusalem by the Prieure de Sion for the express purpose of guarding remaining relics of Jesus and to provide military protection for the religious travelers during their pilgrimage to the Holy City.

The Prieure de Sion was a religious order founded upon Mount Sion in Jerusalem. The Order set for itself the goal of preserving and recording the bloodline of Jesus and the House of David. Through every means available to them, the Prieure de Sion had found and retrieved the remaining relics. These relics were entrusted to the Knights Templar for safekeeping.

I am amazed at the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the information that they have unearthed.

Most of all I am amazed at their inability to put the puzzle together.

The treasure hidden in France is not the treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem. It is the Holy Grail itself, the robe of Jesus, the last remaining pieces of the Cross of Crucifixion, and, according to my sources, someone’s bones. I can tell you that the reality of the bones will shake the world to its very foundations if I have been told the truth.

The relics are hidden in France. I know the location and so do the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, but they do not know that they know – or do they?

Adam Weishaupt, a young professor of canon law at Ingolstadt University in Germany, was a Jesuit priest and an initiate of the Illuminati. The branch of the Order he founded in Germany in 1776 was the same Illuminati previously discussed. The Jesuit connection is important, as you will see later in this chapter.

Researchers agree that he was financed by the House of Rothschild (mentioned in “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars“).

Weishaupt advocated,

“abolition of all ordered national governments, abolition of inheritance, abolition of private property, abolition of patriotism, abolition of the individual home and family life as the cell from which all civilizations have stemmed, and abolition of all religions established and existing so that the ideology of totalitarianism may be imposed on mankind.”

In the same year that he founded the Illuminati he published Wealth of Nations, the book that provided the ideological foundation for capitalism and for the Industrial Revolution.

It is no accident that the Declaration of Independence was written in the same year. On the obverse of the Great Seal of the United States the wise will recognize the all-seeing eye and other signs of the Brotherhood of the Snake.

Every tenet was the same. Date and beliefs confirm that Weishaupt’s Illuminati is the same as the Afghan Illuminated Ones and the other cults which called themselves “illuminated.” The Alumbrados of Spain were the same as were the “illuminated” Guerinets of France. In the United States they were known as the Jacobin clubs. Secrets within secrets within secrets – but always at the heart is the Brotherhood.

I believe that Weishaupt was betrayed and set up for persecution because he ignored the rule that the word “illuminati” or the existence of the Brotherhood would never be exposed to public knowledge. His exposure and outlawing accomplished several goals of the still-hidden and still very powerful brotherhood.

It allowed members to debunk claims of its existence on the grounds that the Illuminati had been exposed and outlawed and thus was no longer a reality. It allowed members to deny allegations of conspiracy of any kind.

The Brotherhood of the Snake is adept at throwing out decoys to keep the dogs at bay.

Weishaupt may have been a fool – or he may have been doing exactly what he was told.

Part 2 of 3

Weishaupt said,

“The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation.”

Allegations that the Freemason organizations were infiltrated by the Illuminati during Weishaupt’s reign are hogwash. The Freemasons have always contained the core of Illuminati within their ranks, and that is why they so freely and so willingly took in and hid the members of Weishaupt’s group.

You cannot really believe that the Freemasons, if they were only a simple fraternal organization, would have risked everything, including their very lives, by taking in and hiding outlaws who had been condemned by the monarchies of Europe. It is mainly Freemason authors who have perpetuated the myth that Adam Weishaupt was the founder of the Illuminati and that the Illuminati was destroyed, never to surface again.

In 1826 an American Freemason wrote a book revealing Masonic secrets entitled Illustrations of Freemasonry. One of the secrets that he revealed is that the last mystery at the top of the Masonic pyramid is the worship of Lucifer. We have since learned the secret of the “story of the murder of Hiram Abif.”

Hiram Abif represents intelligence, liberty and truth, and was struck down by a blow to the neck with a rule, representing the suppression of speech by the church; then he was struck in the heart with the square, representing the suppression of belief by the State; and finally he was struck on the head by a maul, representing the suppression of intellect by the masses.

Freemasonry thus equates the Church, the State, and the masses with tyranny, intolerance, and ignorance. What Morgan revealed was that the Freemasons were pledged to avenge Hiram Abif and that their plan was to strike down the Church, the State, and the freedom of the masses.

Morgan caused a small uproar against the Masons. The small uproar turned into a full blown anti-Freemason movement when the author, William Morgan, disappeared. Morgan had apparently been abducted and drowned in Lake Ontario. It was alleged that fellow Masons had done it, and that they deny to this day. Who else would have done it? I believe they murdered him. The newspapers of the time state without reservation that he was murdered by Masons.

The oath of initiation into the Freemasons states that if secrets are told, the initiate will be murdered. A nationwide furor ensued that resulted in the creation of an anti-Masonic political party in 1829 by Henry Dana Ward, Thurlow Weed, and William H. Seward. Interest in several anti-Masonic books was revived during that period, with the result that Freemasonry suffered a severe loss of membership. It lasted only a few years and by 1840 the anti-Masonic party was extinct. Time really does cure all ills.

We know that the British Freemasons are a totally self-serving group that discriminates in favor of its own whenever jobs, promotions, contracts, or careers are concerned. The English Freemason organization was used by the KGB to infiltrate and take over British Intelligence.

British Intelligence is synonymous with Chatham House, more commonly known as the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the parent organization of the Council on Foreign Relations in the United States. The English state police, Scotland Yard, ordered its personnel not to join the Masons for fear the same would happen to them. Of course, you have been told all your life that the Freemasons are only a benevolent fraternal organization bent only on community service. Read on, O innocent one.

Probably the most notorious Freemason lodge is the P2 lodge in Italy. This group has been implicated in everything from bribery to assassinations. P2 is directly connected to the Vatican, the Knights of Malta, and to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. It is powerful and dangerous. The P2 lodge has succeeded in infiltrating the Vatican and has scored a coup of tremendous significance: the Pope, John Paul II, has lifted the ban against Freemasonry. Many high-level members of the Vatican are now Freemasons.

I tell you now that Freemasonry is one of the most wicked and terrible organizations upon this earth. The Masons are major players in the struggle for world domination. The 33^rd Degree is split into two. One split contains the core of the Luciferian Illuminati and the other contains those who have no knowledge of it whatsoever.

ALL of the intelligence officers that I worked for while in Naval Intelligence were Masons. As I stated before, I believe that my association with the DeMolay Society as a young adult may have been the reason that I was selected for Naval Security and Intelligence. However, that is only a guess.

I had intended to go into great detail linking P2, the Prieure de Sion, the Vatican, the CIA, organizations for a United Europe, and the Bilderberg Group. Fortunately, Michael Baigent, Righard Leigh & Henry Lincoln beat me to it. I say fortunately, because they confirm my previous allegation that I published in my paper “The Secret Government” that the CIA had plants, called moles, deep within the Vatican.

You must read Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Messianic Legacy, both by Baigent, Leigh, & Lincoln. Any reputable bookstore should carry them. Between pages 343 and 361 of The Messianic Legacy you can read of the alliance of power that resulted in a secret world government.

Most members of the Freemasons are not aware that the Illuminati practices what is known as “secrets within secrets,” or organizations within organizations – That is one purpose of initiation. I cannot excuse any of the members, however, or anyone who joins a society without knowing everything about the organization is indeed a fool. Only those at the top who have passed every test truly know what the Masons are hiding, thus rendering it impossible for anyone outside to know much at all about the group. What does that say about new members or those who are already members but do not know the ultimate secrets? It tells me that fools abound.

Unlike authors who out of fear have acted as apologists for the Freemasons, I decline to absolve them of responsibility and guilt. The Freemasons, like everyone else, are responsible for the cleanliness of their home. The occupant of a secret house within a secret house within a secret house cannot clean if he cannot see the number of rooms or what they contain. Their house is a stinking cesspool. Look to the Masons for the guilty party if anything happens to me. I believe that they have murdered in the past and that they will murder in the future.

Their goal is to rule the world. The doctrine of this group is not democracy or communism, but is a form of fascism. The doctrine is totalitarian socialism. You must begin to think correctly.

The Illuminati are not Communists, but some Communists are Illuminati.

(1) Monarchism (thesis) faced democracy (antithesis) in WWI, which resulted in the formation of communism and the League of Nations (synthesis)

(2) Democracy and communism (thesis) faced fascism (antithesis) in WWII and resulted in a more powerful United Nations (synthesis)

(3) Capitalism (thesis) now faces communism (antithesis) and the result will be the

New World Order, totalitarian socialism (synthesis)

The 1953 report of the California Senate Investigating Committee on Education stated:

“So-called modern Communism is apparently the same hypocritical world conspiracy to destroy civilization that was founded by the illuminati, and that raised its head in our colonies here at the critical period before the adoption of our Constitution.”

The California Senate understood that communism is the work of the Illuminati. They failed to realize that the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission are also the work of the Illuminati. You MUST begin to think correctly. The enemy is not communism, it is Illuminism. The Communists are not going to be much happier with the New World Order than we.

I hope to show that most modern secret societies and especially those that practice degrees of initiation, and that is the key, are really one society with one purpose. You may call them whatever you wish:

the Order of the Quest
the JASON Society
the Roshaniya
the Qabbalah
the Knights Templar
the Knights of Malta
the Knights of Columbus
the Jesuits
the Masons
the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosae Crucis
the Illuminati
the Nazi Party
the Communist Party
the Executive Members of the Council on Foreign Relations
The Group
the Brotherhood of the Dragon
the Rosicrucians
the Royal Institute of International Affairs
the Trilateral Commission
the Bilderberg Group
the Open Friendly Secret Society (the Vatican)
the Russell Trust
the Skull & Bones
the Scroll & Key
the Order

They are all the same and all work toward the same ultimate goal, a New World Order.

Many of them, however, disagree on exactly who will rule this New World Order, and that is what causes them to sometimes pull in opposite directions while nevertheless proceeding toward the same goal. The Vatican, for instance, wants the Pope to head the world coalition. Some want Lord Maitreya to head the New World Order.

Lord Maitreya is the front runner, I believe, since witnesses say he was present on the ship at Malta with Bush, Gorbachev, and the ten regional heads of the New World Order.

“Approximately 200 dignitaries from around the world attended a major conference initiated by Maitreya in London on April 21 and 22,1990. Representatives of governments (including the USA), members of royal families, religious leaders and journalists, all of whom had met with Maitreya previously, attended the conference.”

Quote from “Prophecy Watch” column of Whole Wheat No. 8, Minneapolis.

Someone has also spent an awful lot of money announcing his presence. The Pope will have to approve him if Maitreya is selected, however, and that would fulfill the Bible prophecy in the Book of Revelation that states that the first beast will be given his power by Rome. If you can interpret Revelation as I can, then you know that the Pope will ultimately win out and will reign as the second beast.

In 1952 an alliance was formed, bringing them all together for the first time in history. The Black Families, the Illuminati (the Order), the Vatican, and the Freemasons now work together to bring about the New World Order. All will protest their innocence and will do everything within their power to destroy anyone who suggests otherwise. I will undoubtedly become a target when this book is published.

You may notice that some of those listed in the preceding paragraphs do not, or so it appears, practice degrees of initiation. That is the public view. Look at the Council on Foreign Relations. Many members – in fact, the majority – never serve on the executive committees.

They never go through any initiation of any kind. They are, in fact, the power base and are used to gain a consensus of opinion. The majority are not really members but are made to feel as if they are. In reality they are being used and are unwilling or unable to understand.

The Executive Committee is an inner core of intimate associates, members of a secret society called the Order of the Quest, also known as the JASON Society, devoted to a common purpose.

The members are an outer circle on whom the inner core acts by personal persuasion, patronage and social pressure. That is how they bought Henry Kissinger.

Rockefeller gave Kissinger a grant of $50,000 in the early ’50s, a fortune in those days, and made dear old Henry a member of the CFR. Anyone in the outer circle who does not toe the mark is summarily expelled and the lesson is not lost on those who remain.

Do you remember the human desire to be a member of the elect? That is the principle at work.

The real power are men who are always recruited without exception from the secret societies of Harvard and Yale known as the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key. Both societies are secret branches (also called the Brotherhood of Death) of what is otherwise historically known as the Illuminati. They are connected to parent organizations in England (The Group of Oxford University and especially All Souls College), and Germany (the Thule Society, also called the Brotherhood of Death).

I learned this when I was with Naval Intelligence. I was not able to explain why some members of the Executive Committee were not listed under the “Addresses” of Chapter 322 of the Skull & Bones Society until I read The Wise Men by Walter Isaacson & Evan Thomas, Simon and Schuster, New York.

Under illustration #9 in the center of the book you will find the caption,

“Lovett with the Yale Unit, above far right, and on the beach: His initiation into Skull and Bones came at an air base near Dunkirk.”

I have found that members of these two societies were chosen on an ongoing basis by invitation based upon merit post-college and were not confined to only Harvard or Yale attendees.

Only members of the Order are initiated into the Order of the Quest, the JASON Society that makes up the executive members of the Council on Foreign Relations and, in fact, the Trilateral Commission as well. The executive members of the Council on Foreign Relations are the real elect in this country.

George Bush is a member of the Order. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. His father was also a member who helped finance Hitler.

It is important that you know that the members of the Order take an oath that absolves them from any allegiance to any nation or king or government or constitution, and that includes the negating of any subsequent oath of allegiance which they may be required to take. They swear allegiance only to the Order and its goal of a New World Order.

George Bush is not a loyal citizen of the United States but instead is loyal only to the destruction of the United States and to the formation of the New World Order. According to the oath Bush took when he was initiated into Skull & Bones, his oath of office as President of the United States of America means nothing.

The Trilateral Commission is an elite group of some 300 very prominent business, political, and intellectual decision-makers of Western Europe, North America, and Japan. This enterprise is a private agency that works to build up political and economic cooperation among the three regions. Its grand design, which it no longer hides, is a New World Order.

The Trilateral Commission was the idea of its founder, American banking magnate David Rockefeller. The real reason for its formation was the decline of the Council on Foreign Relation’s power as a result of the people’s dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War. The reasoning behind the move toward the Trilateral Commission was the same as entering two horses in the same race. It doubles the chances of winning.

The real power has always remained solidly in the hands of the Council on Foreign Relations. The Rockefeller family was, is and always will be the benefactor of both organizations. Rockefeller, though powerful is not in control in this country or anywhere else.

The key to the REAL power is the fact that Rockefeller had to put out feelers at a Bilderberg Group meeting in 1972 about forming a private group of trilateral leaders. The Bilderberg Group gave the nod and Rockefeller’s man Zbigniew Brzezinski gathered up a membership and organized the Trilateral Commission in 1972, not in 1973 as the Commission claims.

A key to the danger presented by the Trilateral Commission is its “Seminal Peace,” written for them by Harvard Professor Samuel P. Huntington in the mid ’70s. In the paper Professor Huntington recommended that democracy and economic development be discarded as outdated ideas.

He wrote as co-author of the book The Crisis of Democracy,

“We have come to recognize that there are potential desirable limits to economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of political democracy. A government which lacks authority will have little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary.”

…Remember that George Bush was a member of the Trilateral Commission and only resigned as an expediency to get elected.

He believes wholeheartedly in the Commission and its ideas and ideals. We have elected a President who believes that democracy and economic development must be discarded – I tell you now that he is working toward that end. Bush is still a member of the Order and the CFR.

The JASON Society, or JASON Scholars, takes its name from the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece, and it is a branch of the Order of the Quest, one of the highest degrees in the Illuminati. The golden fleece takes on the role of truth to JASON members. Jason represents the search for the truth. Therefore the name JASON Society denotes a group of men who are engaged in a search for the truth.

The name Jason is spelled with capital letters when used as the name of the JASON Society. Lower-case letters are never used when referring to this secret group. The name may even have a deeper meaning, as the name “Jason” and the Golden Fleece appear throughout history in relation to various other secret societies. In these instances the story represents man (Jason) looking for himself (Golden Fleece).

Top Secret documents that I read while with Naval Intelligence stated that President Eisenhower had commissioned the JASON Society to examine all of the evidence, facts, lies, and deception and find the truth of the alien question.

Founders of the JASON Group (not the same as the JASON Society) include members of the famous Manhattan Project, which brought together almost every leading physicist in the nation to build the atomic bomb during World War II. The group is made up mostly of theoretical physicists and is the most elite gathering of scientific minds in the United States. As of 1987 the membership included four Nobel Prize winners.

Today JASON continues to offer scientific help the government cannot find anywhere else. They are probably the only group of scientists in the United States that know the true state of highest technology.

JASON is shrouded in what appears to be unnecessary secrecy. The group refuses to release its membership list. None of the members list JASON membership on their official resumes. Working completely behind the scenes, JASON has guided the nation’s most important security decisions. These include, but are not limited to, Star Wars, submarine warfare, and predictions about the greenhouse effect. The JASON members are each paid a $500 per-day consultant’s fee.

In the documents that I read while with Naval Intelligence the JASONS predicted that the greenhouse effect would lead ultimately to an ICE AGE.

According to the Pentagon, the JASONS hold the highest and most restrictive security clearances in the nation. They are given the protocol rank of rear admiral (two stars) when they visit or travel aboard ships or visit military bases. The only other reference to the JASON group that I have been able to find is in The Pentagon Papers.

The papers stated that JASON was responsible for designing the electronic barrier between North and South Vietnam for the purpose of sealing off infiltration of the South by North Vietnamese regulars during the Vietnam War. I was stationed on the DMZ and I can tell you that it did not work.

The veil of secrecy drawn around the JASON Group has been so tight and so leak-proof since its conception that those who think the government cannot keep a secret need to reexamine that position. The government was able to contain the JASON secret except for the one leak; but the JASON Group itself, a civilian group, did even better.

No leaks have ever occurred from within JASON. JASON is administered by the Mitre Corporation Government contracts allotted to the Mitre Corporation are in reality allotted to the JASON scientists. This is done so that the name JASON does not ever appear in documents which may come under public scrutiny.

What is the difference between the JASON Scholars or JASON Society and the JASON Group? The documents that I read referred to the JASON Society in exactly those words. In public documents the only JASON reference is to the JASON Group, administered by the Mitre Corporation. I believe the JASON Society is one of the highest degrees above the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key in the Illuminati. In other words, it is a higher level of initiation.

The JASON Group is a scientific organization formed and hired by the JASON Society and the U.S. Government for obvious reasons.

I know a lot more about the JASON Society and the JASON Group, but I do not want to injure Mr. Grant Cameron, who has done extensive research on these subjects. He will publish his research in the coming months. I guarantee his findings will amaze you.

The Council on Foreign Relations has been the foremost flank of America’s foreign-policy establishment for more than half a century. The Council on Foreign Relations is a private organization of business executives, scholars, and political leaders that studies global problems and play a key role in developing U.S. foreign policy. The CFR is one of the most powerful semi-official groups concerned with America’s role in international affairs.

It is controlled by an elect group of men recruited from the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key societies of Harvard and Yale, which are both chapters of a secret branch of the Illuminati known as Chapter 322 of the Order. The members of the Order make up the Executive Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations after undergoing initiation into the Order of the Quest, also known as the JASON Society.

The Council on Foreign Relations is an off-shoot sister organization to the British Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Their goal is a New World Order. Although it existed as a dinner dub in New York, it did not take on its present power until 1921, when it merged with the Royal Institute of International Affairs and received its financial base from J.P. Morgan, the Carnegie Endowment, the Rockefeller family, and other Wall Street banking interests.

The Council on Foreign Relations controls our government. Through the years its members have infiltrated the entire executive branch, State Department, Justice Department, CIA, and the top ranks of the military. Every director of the Central Intelligence Agency has been a member of the CFR. Most presidents since Roosevelt have been members. The members of the CFR dominate ownership of the press and most, if not all, of America’s top journalists are members.

The CFR does not conform to government policy. The government conforms to CFR policy.

I read Top Secret documents while with Naval Intelligence that stated that President Eisenhower had appointed six of the Executive Committee members of the CFR to sit on the panel called Majesty Twelve also known as Majority Twelve for security reasons. Majesty Twelve is the secret group that is supposed to control extraterrestrial information and projects.

The documents stated that Eisenhower had also appointed six members from the Executive branch of government who were also members of the CFR. The total membership of Majesty Twelve was nineteen, including Dr. Edward Teller and the six members from the JASON scientific group. Again, whether this is true or disinformation depends solely upon the existence of aliens.

The Knights of Malta play a powerful role in this scenario. In the 1930’s General Smedley Butler was recruited to help take over the White House. He was told that he was needed because of his general popularity with the military. General Butler blew the whistle and named several prominent Americans as part of the plot. At the top of the list was John J. Raskob, who was a founding member of the U.S. branch of the Knights of Malta.

He was board chairman of General Motors. He was, at he time, the U.S. Treasurer of the Knights of Malta. Congressional hearings were held to investigate the plot, but none of those named, including Raskob, was ever called to testify and nothing ever came of the hearings. Although you will find this in the Congressional records, you will never find it in any history book anywhere.

It is significant that the Iran-Contra episode has many similarities to the 1930s plot. William Casey was a member of the Knights of Malta. William Casey, with the help of Vice President Bush, Anne Armstrong and Donald Regan, caused the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board to be emasculated so that Bush, Casey, North and others could carry out their dirty deeds without oversight.

They had also developed a plan to suspend the Constitution of the United States and were preparing to implement the plan when they were caught. These facts emerged from the hearings but were suppressed by the committee chairman, Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. You must understand that tremendous power was involved in both attempts to overthrow the United States Government.

William Casey was the Director of the CIA. He was a member of the CFR. Casey was a Knight of Malta. He was the head of Ronald Reagan’s political campaign. He was head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the Nixon administration he was head of the Export-Import Bank.

Casey arranged financing for the Kama River truck factory in the Soviet Union with 90% of the funds guaranteed or furnished by the U.S. taxpayer. This factory built military truck and tank engines for the Soviet Army. It was, and may still be, the largest factory in the world and could produce more heavy trucks than all U.S. factories together.

I believe Casey was murdered.

Part 3 of 3
The Knights of Malta is a world organization with its threads weaving through business, banking, politics, the CIA, other intelligence organizations, P2, religion, education, law, military, think tanks, foundations, the United States Information Agency, the United Nations, and numerous other organizations.

They are not the oldest but are one of the oldest branches of the Order of the Quest in existence. The world head of the Knights of Malta is elected for a life term, with the approval of the Pope. The Knights of Malta have their own Constitution and are sworn to work toward the establishment of a New World Order with the Pope at its head. Knights of Malta members are also powerful members of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission.

The Vatican has been infiltrated over many years by the Illuminati. This is easily proven by the fact that in 1738 Pope Clement XII issued a Papal Bull which stated that any Catholic who became a Mason would be excommunicated, a very serious punishment. In 1884 Pope Leo XIII issued a proclamation stating that Masonry was one of the secret societies attempting to “revive the manners and customs of the pagans” and “establish Satan’s kingdom on Earth.”

Piers Compton, in his book The Broken Cross, traces the infiltration of the Catholic Church by the Illuminati. He has found the use of the all-seeing eye in the triangle by leading Catholics and by the Jesuits. It was used in the seal of the Philadelphia Eucharistic Congress in 1976. It was on a special issue of Vatican stamps in 1978, announcing the final Illuminati victory to the world.

Mr. Compton claims that Pope John XXIII wore the “all-seeing eye in the triangle” on his personal cross. Compton is adamant that several hundred leading Catholic priests, bishops and cardinals are members of secret societies.

He quotes an article in an Italian Journal that lists more than 70 Vatican officials, including,

Pope Paul VI’s private secretary
the director general of Vatican radio
the Archbishop of Florence
the prelate of Milan
the assistant editor of the Vatican newspaper
several Italian bishops
the abbot of the Order of St. Benedict

Those are only the ones that are known and only the ones known in Italy.

It is widely believed that this Pope, John Paul XXIII, is a member of the Illuminati. I believe, according to my research, that it is true. The best indication of infiltration is that on November 27,1983, the Pope retracted all of the Papal Bulls against Freemasonry and allowed Catholics, after several hundred years, to again become members of secret societies without fear of excommunication. The goal of the Illuminati to elect one of their own to the Papacy appears to have come to fruition. If that is the case, the New World Order is just on the horizon. Now is the time.

The first U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican was William Wilson, a Knight of Malta. His appointment was probably illegal and, for a fact, was highly unethical. Wilson could not possibly have represented the U.S. when his allegiance was sworn to the Pope.

Wilson, if you will remember, took an unauthorized trip to Libya and met privately with Libyan officials at a time when travel to Libya had been banned by the President. President Ronald Reagan had called Col. Khadafi “a mad dog” and made a few strong threats.

The U.S. had been resolute in bombing Libya even though civilians were killed. Following Wilson’s trip, Khadafi issued a press release stating that “an American diplomat had been sent to reduce tensions with Libya.”

The State Department denied that any such thing had taken place. Ambassador Wilson closed his mouth and refused any comment. To this day he has said nothing, even though his actions made a liar of the United States and embarrassed us worldwide.

A due to what was happening is the fact that while we had cut off Libya and even bombed them and while travel by U.S. citizens to Libya was forbidden, five huge oil conglomerates were filling their pockets dealing with Khadafi. One of the companies was headed by J. Peter Grace, President of W.R. Grace. Eight members of the W.R. Grace Company are members of the Knights of Malta. According to an article by Leslie Geld in the New York Times, administration officials had expressed concern about Mr. Wilson’s activities. These actions, they said, often seem to revolve around his contacts and interest in the oil business.

Wilson should have been fired, but instead nothing happened except that he and his wife attended a Papal Easter Mass and stood next to George Schultz and his wife. In diplomatic language this indicated private approval of his actions. George Schultz, of course, is a member of the CFR, the Bohemian Club and the Bechtel Corporation, all of which have close ties to the Order and the Knights of Malta.

Wilson engaged in several other improprieties during his ambassadorship.

Again, in each case nothing happened. Finally he resigned. Later, if you will remember, President Reagan suffered a fall from a horse on William Wilson’s ranch in Mexico. Do you seriously think that President Reagan would have visited Wilson’s home in Mexico if he had not approved of Wilson’s actions while he was the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican?

Knight of Malta Myron Taylor was President Roosevelt’s envoy. Knight of Malta John McCone was President Kennedy’s envoy and he was also the Director of the CIA during the early ’60s. A former mayor of New York City, Robert Wagner, was President Jimmy Carter’s envoy. Frank Shakespeare replaced William Wilson. Frank Shakespeare is a Knight of Malta, and so it goes. President Reagan spoke at the annual Knights of Malta dinner.

The Knights of Malta all have diplomatic immunity. They can ship goods across borders without paying duty or undergoing customs check. Does that ring any bells? In any case, that is power.

The Knights of Malta is held up by a backbone consisting of nobility. Nearly half of the 10,000 members belong to Europe’s oldest and most powerful families. This cements the alliance between the Vatican and the “Black Nobility.” The Black Nobility is mostly the rich and powerful of Europe.

The head of the Black Nobility is the family that can claim direct descendency from the last Roman emperor. Maybe now you can see that things are beginning to fall into their proper place. Membership in the Knights of Malta entails obedience to one’s superior in The Order and ultimately to the Pope. Therefore, a U.S. ambassador who is also a member of the Knights of Malta faces a conflict of interest. Why is this fact ignored? President Bush appointed Knight of Malta Thomas Melledy to the post of U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.

The Vatican has founded the Pope John Paul II Center for Prayer and Study for Peace at 1711 Ocean Avenue, Springlake, New Jersey, in a mansion overlooking the ocean. The mansion was given to the New York Archdiocese by the estate of Elmer Bobst, who died in 1978. He was a multimillionaire and chairman of Warner Lambert Company.

Richard Nixon was a frequent visitor. Directors of the Center were:

Kurt Waldheim, former Secretary General of the United Nations and ex-nazi war criminal
Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State under Carter and member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission
Clare Booth Luce, a dame of the Knights of Malta
J. Peter Grace of W.R. Grace Company, who is head of the Knights of Malta in the United States

The Center was set up by the Vatican as a part of the Pope’s new peace plan, which will bring the world together. The Center has two roles:

(1) Educate Catholics and their children to accept the New World Order

(2) Provide residence for the world-peace-solution computer and an ongoing study for peaceful solutions to any future problems which may endanger world peace

The computer is hooked to the world capitals via satellite.

All nations have agreed to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the computer for solution. Of course, this will not go into effect until the New World Order is publicly announced. I believe that the New World Order was born in secrecy on January 19,1989. Now you know.

The Vatican has stated at various times that,

“the Pope is for total disarmament; the Pope is for elimination of the sovereignty of the nation states; the Pope is also stating that property rights are not to be considered true property rights. The Pope believes that only the Vatican knows what is right for man.”

In the early 1940s, the I.G. Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz.

The same salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison gas. This same cyanide gas along with Zyklon B and malathion was used to exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. Their bodies were then burned to ashes in the ovens. After the war the salesman, fearing for his life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946.

One of his closest friends was Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the mastermind behind the November/78 to October/79 and March/80 to October/81 experimental hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and four other American cities that loosed the plague of AIDS upon the American people.

The salesman was ordained Poland’s youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the papacy as Pope John Paul II.

1990 is the right time with the right leaders: ex-chief of the KGB Mikhail Gorbachev, ex-chief of the CIA George Bush, ex-Nazi cyanide gas salesman Pope John Paul II, all bound by an unholy alliance to ring in the New World Order.

The Pope has challenged world leaders by claiming that the people of the world already recognize the absolute authority of Rome because they observe the Sunday Sabbath that was ordered by the Pope in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364).

The original Ten Commandments given to Moses ordered that we should:

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

The seventh day, the Sabbath as handed to Moses is Saturday.

The celebration of Sunday as the Sabbath is verification that the people recognize the Pope as superior to God. The only whole people who have not recognized the authority of the Pope are the Jewish people, and that is why the Vatican has not and will not recognize the state of Israel.

The Vatican refuses even to call it Israel. Instead the Vatican says Palestine when talking about Israel. Again, I must remind you that what you believe makes not one bit of difference.

The important thing to understand is that if they believe this, it is going to give you nightmares.

“The Pope has a lot of charisma and in a one world system you need a religious head for power. Khomeini proved that. This Pope has enough following and charisma to make what we consider a great threat in this move.”

[Quote from The Mantooth Report]
“Pope John Paul II is most anxious to complete his goal. His goal is to reunite the Christian World under the leadership of the papacy. If at all possible, he hopes to reach his goal by the end of this century. This is the primary reason behind the Pope’s many worldwide trips.”

[From an article by Gene H. Hogberg, Nov./Dec. 1989, Plain Truth.]

Were you aware that Hitler and his entire staff were Catholic?
Did you know that the Nazis dabbled in the occult?
Did you know that the New York Times of April 14, 1990, quotes George Bush as stating, “Let’s forgive the Nazi war criminals.” I wonder why he said that?
Did you know that the Los Angeles Times December 12, 1984, quoted Pope John Paul II as saying, “Don’t go to God for forgiveness of sins, come to me.” The Pope committed blasphemy, thus fulfilling prophecy according to the book of Revelation. The Pope is telling us that he is God!

Remember, never worship a leader. If you worship a leader, you then no longer have the ability to recognize when you have been deceived!

On July 21, 1773, Pope Clement XIV “forever annulled and extinguished the Jesuit Order.” France, Spain and Portugal had independently come to realize that the Jesuits were meddling in the affairs of the state and were therefore enemies of the government.

The Pope’s action was a response to pressure applied by the monarchies. King Joseph of Portugal signed a decree “by which the Jesuits were denounced as ’traitors, rebels and enemies to the realm…”’ Pope Pius VII in August, 1814, reinstated the Jesuits to all of their former rights and privileges.

Ex-President John Adams wrote to his successor, Thomas Jefferson:

“I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men who merited eternal damnation on earth… it is this Society….” Jefferson replied: “Like you, I disapprove of the restoration of the Jesuits, for it means a step backwards from light into darkness.”

The Jesuits are still in trouble today as they have been throughout their existence. On February 28,1982, Pope Paul II told the Jesuits to “keep dear of politics, and honor Roman Catholic tradition.” U.S. News and World Report stated that the Jesuits had indeed meddled in the affairs of nations.

The article stated:

“Jesuits have played leading roles in Nicaragua’s Sandinista revolution. Some Jesuits have joined Communist parties. One priest in El Salvador has claimed that his order is working for the advancement of Marxism and revolution, not for God…

Jesuits have joined left wing rebel movements in Central America and the Philippines, and have advocated a melding of Marxism and Roman Catholicism in what is called ’liberation theology.”’

When the United States wanted to employ the nastiest forms of the Haig-Kissinger depopulation policy in Central America it was the Jesuits who organized and prodded the people into civil war.

Wherever the Jesuits go, revolution quickly follows. I am always sad when I see or hear of people being hurt; but according to my research, the Jesuit priests murdered in Central America probably deserved it.

The most powerful secret organization in the world is the Bilderberg Group, organized in 1952 and named after the hotel where its first meeting took place in 1954. The man who organized the Bilderberg Group, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, has the power to veto the Vatican’s choice of any Pope it selects.

Prince Bernhard has this veto power because his family, the Hapsburgs, are descended from the Roman emperors. Prince Bernhard is the leader of the Black Families. He claims descent from the House of David and thus can truly say that he is related to Jesus. Prince Bernhard, with the help of the CIA, brought the hidden ruling body of the Illuminati into public knowledge as the Bilderberg Group. This is the official alliance that makes up the world governing body.

The core of the organization is three committees made up of thirteen members each. Thus the heart of the Bilderberg Group consists of 39 total members of the Illuminati. The three committees are made up exclusively of members of all the different secret groups that make up the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Vatican, and the Black Nobility.

This committee works year round in offices in Switzerland. It determines who is invited to the annual meeting and what policies and plans will be discussed. Every proposal or plan that has ever been discussed at an annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group has come to pass usually within one or two years following the meeting.

The Bilderberg Group is directing the “quiet war” that is being waged against us.

How can they do it? These are the men who really rule the world.

The numbers 3, 7, 9,11,13, 39 and any multiple of these numbers have special meaning to the Illuminati. Notice that the Bilderberg Group has core of 39 members who are broken into 3 groups of 13 members in each group. Notice that the core of 39 answers to the 13 who make up the Policy Committee. Take special notice that the 13 members of the Policy Committee answer to the Round Table of Nine.

You know that the original number of states in the United States of America was 13. The Constitution has 7 articles and was signed by 39 members of the Constitutional Convention.

The United States was born on July 4, 1776. July is the 7^th month of the year. Add 7 (for July) and 4 and you have 11; 1+7+7+6 = 21, which is a multiple of 3 and 7. Add 2+1 and you get 3. Look at the numbers in 1776 and you see two 7s and a 6, which is a multiple of 3. Coincidence, you say? For those of you who still say it’s accidental, however, I offer the following evidence I could write a book just on numerical links, but I won’t.

Manly P. Hall, 33^rddegree Mason, probably the most renowned expert on these subjects, wrote in his book The Secret Destiny of America,

“For more than three thousand years, secret societies have labored to create the background of knowledge necessary to the establishment of an enlightened democracy among the nations of the world… all have continued… and they still exist, as the Order of the Quest.

Men bound by a secret oath to labor in the cause of world democracy decided that in the American colonies they would plan the roots of a new way of life. The Order of the Quest… was set up in America before the middle of the 17^th century….

Franklin spoke for the Order of the Quest, and most of the men who worked with him in the early days of the American Republic were also members…. Not only were many of the founders of the United States Government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for a particular purpose known only to the initiated few.”

I found these quotes in a book on page 133. When added together, 1+3+3 equal the number 7 – coincidence?

We can get a little insight into the Order of the Quest from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, the man directly responsible for the printing of the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States on the one-dollar bill.

Mr. Wallace, a member of the Order of the Quest, wrote in a letter to the Russian mystic and artist Nicholas Roerich:

“The Search, whether it be for the lost word of Masonry, or the Holy Chalice, or the potentialities of the age to come, is the one supremely worthwhile objective. All else is karmic duty. But surely everyone is a potential Galahad? So may we strive for the Chalice and the flame above it.”

The Holy Grail has a way of popping up on a regular basis in the writings of secret societies.

In the Great Seal of the United States we see the ancient symbol of the Brotherhood of the Snake (or Dragon), which as you already know is the all seeing eye in the pyramid representing the form of wisdom.

Just below the pyramid you will note “Novus Ordo Seclorum” which translated means, “New World Order” There are:

9 tail feathers on the eagle
13 leaves in the olive branches
13 bars and stripes
13 arrows
13 letters in “E Pluribus Unum
13 stars in the green crest above
13 stones in the pyramid
13 letters in “Annuit Coeptis”

All of these mystical numbers also have special meaning to the Freemasons.

You would have to be a devout skeptic to miss the tremendous significance of all of these supposed coincidences. Who among you can still say that there is no link?

I read while in Naval Intelligence that at least once a year, maybe more, two nuclear submarines meet beneath the polar icecap and mate together at an airlock. Representatives of the Soviet Union meet with the Policy Committee of the Bilderberg Group. The Russians are given the script for their next performance. Items on the agenda include the combined efforts in the secret space program governing Alternative 3.

I now have in my possession official NASA photographs of a moon-base in the crater Copernicus.

This method of meeting is the only way that is safe from detection and/or bugging. The public outcry that would result would destroy everything should these meetings be discovered. A BBC-TV documentary program entitled “Science Report” revealed these same facts but subsequently issued a retraction. In their retraction they stated that the show had been fiction. It must be noted here that “Science Report” was a very respected documentary, nonfiction program in Britain.

Never in its history had it ever aired fiction. This subject is explored in depth in another chapter. There is no other method that I know of to verify these meetings short of somehow becoming a crew member on one of the submarines. Is Alternative 3 true, or is it a part of the plan to ring in the New World Order? It really doesn’t matter, because either way we’re screwed. The quicker you understand that, the wiser you become.

The members of the Bilderberg Group are the most powerful financiers, industrialists, statesmen and intellectuals, who get together each year for a private conference on world affairs.

The meetings provide an informal, off-the-record opportunity for international leaders to mingle, and are notorious for the cloak of secrecy they are held under. The headquarters office is in The Hague in Switzerland, the only European country never invaded or bombed during World Wars I and II.

Switzerland is the seat of world power. The goal of the Bilderberg Group is a one-world totalitarian socialist government and economic system. Take heed, as time is running short.

You must understand that secrecy is wrong. The very fact that a meeting is secret tells me that something is going on that I would not approve. Do not ever believe that grown men meet on a regular basis just to put on fancy robes, hold candles, and glad-hand each other. George Bush, when he was initiated into the Skull & Bones, did not lie naked in a coffin with a ribbon tied around his genitalia and yell out the details of all his sexual experiences because it was fun.

He had much to gain by accepting initiation into the Order, as you can now see. These men meet for important reasons, and their meetings are secret because what goes on during the meetings would not be approved by the community. The very fact that something is secret means there is something to hide.

John Robison wrote Proofs of a Conspiracy in 1998, and I believe he said it best in the following passage from the book.

“Nothing is so dangerous as a mystic Association. The object remaining a secret in the hands of the managers, the rest simply put a ring in their own noses, by which they may be led about at pleasure; and still panting after the secret they are the better pleased the less they see of their way. A mystical object enables the leader to shift his ground as he pleases, and to accommodate himself to every current fashion or prejudice.

This again gives him almost unlimited power; for he can make use of these prejudices to lead men by troops. He finds them already associated by their prejudices, and waiting for a leader to concentrate their strength and set them in motion. And when once great bodies of men are set in motion, with a creature of their fancy for a guide, even the engineer himself cannot say, ’Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther.’”

Is the common man really as stupid as the elite seem to believe? If he is, then maybe the average citizen is better off ignorant, being manipulated this way and that, whenever the elite deem it necessary. We will discover the answer very quickly when the common man finds that his ticket to Fantasy Land has just expired.

U.S. President Bush and Soviet President Gorbachev arrived yesterday on this Mediterranean island for a summit conference beginning today during which both hope to start the search for a New World Order.”

December 1, 1989

by William Cooper
(Commentary by “Branton”)

The following document was released by William Cooper to members of various UFO RESEARCH and PATRIOT RESEARCH organizations. The manuscript, which ties together certain aspects of the “Secret Government” and the “UFO Phenomena“, was titled: THE SECRET GOVERNMENT (The Origin, Identity, and Purpose of MJ-12. May 23, 1989. Updated November 21, 1990):

“During the years following World War II the government of the United States was confronted with a series of events which were to change beyond prediction its future and with it the future of humanity. These events were so incredible that they defied belief. A stunned President Truman and his top military commanders found themselves virtually impotent after having just won the most devastating and costly war in history.

“The United States had developed, used, and was the only nation on earth in possession of the atomic bomb. This new weapon had the potential to destroy an enemy, and even the Earth itself. At that time the United States had the best economy, the most advanced technology, the highest standard of living, exerted the most influence, and fielded the largest and most powerful military forces in history. We can only imagine the confusion and concern when the informed elite of the United States Government discovered that an alien spacecraft piloted by ’insectlike’ beings from a totally incomprehensible culture had crashed in the desert of New Mexico.

(Note: Some have alleged that certain ’sauroids’ appear ’insect-like’. Other indications suggest that they may be ’para-physical’ entities of some sort, perhaps those allegedly released, according to Kenneth Grant and others, by the Illuminati from another ’dimension’ via holes torn in the space-time fabric by the early atomic tests in the Nevada underground, New Mexico, and elsewhere. – Branton)

“Between January 1947 and December 1952 at least 16 crashed or downed alien craft, 65 bodies, and 1 livealienwere recovered. An additional alien craft had exploded and nothing was recovered from that incident. Of these events, 13 occurred within the borders of the United States, not including the craft which disintegrated in the air. Of these 13, 1 was in Arizona, 11 were in New Mexico, and 1 was in Nevada. Sightings of UFOs were so numerous that serious investigation and debunking of each report became impossible, utilizing the existing intelligence assets.

“Analien craftwas found on February 13, 1948, on a mesa near Aztec, New Mexico. Another craft was located on March 25, 1948, in White Sands Proving Ground. It was 100 feet in diameter. A total of 17 alien bodies were recovered from those two crafts. Of even greater significance was the discovery of a large number of human body parts stored within both of these vehicles. A demon had reared its head and paranoia quickly took hold of everyone ’in the know.’ The Secret lid immediately became a Top Secret lid and was screwed down tight. THE SECURITY BLANKET WAS EVEN TIGHTER THAN THAT IMPOSED UPON THE MANHATTAN PROJECT. In the coming years these events were to become the most closely guarded secrets in the history of the world.

“A special group of America’s top scientists were organized under the name

Project SIGNin December 1947 to study the phenomena. The whole nasty business was contained.Project SIGNevolved into Project GRUDGE in December 1948. A low-level collection and disinformation project named

BLUE BOOKwas formed under GRUDGE. Sixteen volumes were to come out ofGRUDGE. “Blue Teams” were put together to recover the crashed disks or live aliens. The Blue Teams were later to evolve into Alpha Teams underProject POUNCE.

“DURING THESE EARLY YEARS THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AND THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY EXERCISED COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE ’ALIEN SECRET.’ In fact, theCIAwas formed by Presidential Executive Order first as the Central Intelligence Group for the express purpose of dealing with the alien presence. Later the National Security Act was passed, establishing it as the Central Intelligence Agency.

“TheNatioaln Security Councilwas established to oversee the intelligence community and especially the alien endeavor. A series of National Security Council memos and Executive orders removed theCIAfrom the sole task of gathering foreign intelligence and slowly but thoroughly ’legalized’ direct action in the form of covert activities at home and abroad.

“On December 9, 1947,Trumanapproved issuance ofNSC-4, entitled ’Coordination of Foreign Intelligence Information Measures’ at the urging of theSecretaries Marshall,Forrestal,Patterson, and the director of the State Department’s Policy Planning Staff,George Kennan.

“The FOREIGN AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, BOOK 1, ’Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities,’ United States Senate, 94th Congress, 2nd Session, Report No. 94-755, April 26, 1976, p. 49. states: ’This directive empowered the Secretary to coordinate oversees information activities designed to counter communism.’

“A Top Secret annex to NSC-4, NSC-4A, instructed the director of Central Intelligence to undertake covert psychological activities in pursuit of the aims set forth inNSC- 4. The initial authority given theCIAfor covert operations under NSC-4A did not establish formal procedures for either coordinating or approving these operations. It simply directed theDCI(Director of Central Intelligence) to ’undertake covert actions and to ensure, through liaison with Senate and Defense, that the resulting operations were consistent with American policy.’

“Later NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 were to supersede NSC-4 and NSC-4A and expand the covert abilities even further. The Office of Policy Coordination (OPC) was chartered to carry out an expanded program of covert activities. NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 validated illegal and extralegal practices and procedures as being agreeable to the national security leadership. The reaction was swift. In the eyes of the intelligence community ’no holds were barred.’ Under NSC-10/1 an Executive Coordination Group was established to review, but not approve, covert project proposals. The ECG was secretly tasked to coordinate thealien projects. NSC-10/1 & /2 were interpreted to mean that no one at the top wanted to know about anything until it was over and successful.

“These actions established a buffer betweenthe Presidentand the information. It was intended that this buffer serve as a means for the President to deny knowledge if leaks divulged the true state of affairs. This buffer was used in later years for the purpose of effectively isolating succeeding Presidents from any knowledge of thealien presenceOTHER THAN WHAT THESECRET GOVERNMENTAND THEINTELLIGENCE COMMUNITYWANTED THEM TO KNOW. NSC-10/2 established a study panel which met secretly and was made up of the scientific minds of the day. The study panel was not calledMJ-12. Another NSC memo, NSC-10/5 further outlined the duties of the study panel. These NSC memos and secret Executive orders SET THE STAGE FOR THECREATION OF MJ-12ONLY FOUR YEARS LATER.

“SECRETARY OF DEFENSE JAMES FORRESTAL OBJECTED TO THE SECRECY. He was a very idealistic and religious man. He believed that the public should be told. James Forrestal was also one of the first known abductees. When he began to talk to leaders of the opposition party and leaders of the Congress about the alien problem he was asked to resign by Truman. He expressed his fears to many people. Rightfully, he believed that he was being watched. This was interpreted by those who were ignorant of the facts as paranoia. Forrestal later was said to have suffered a mental breakdown. He was ordered to the mental ward of Bethesda Naval Hospital. In spite of the fact that THE ADMINISTRATION HAD NO AUTHORITY TO HAVE HIM COMMITTED, the order was carried out. In fact, it was feared that Forrestal would begin to talk again. He had to be isolated and discredited. His family and friends were denied permission to visit.

Finally, on May 21, 1949,Forrestal’s brother made a fateful decision. HE NOTIFIED AUTHORITIES THAT HE INTENDED TO REMOVE JAMES FROM BETHESDA on May 22. Sometime in the early morning of May 22, 1949, agents of theCIAtied a sheet aroundJames Forrestal’s neck, fastened the other end to a fixture in his room, then threwJames Forrestalout the window. The sheet tore and he plummeted to his death.James Forrestal’s secret diaries were confiscated by the CIA and were kept in the White House for many years. Due to public demand the diaries were eventually rewritten and published in a sanitized version. The real diary information was later furnished by theCIAin book form to an agent who published the material as fiction. THE NAME OF THE AGENT ISWHITLEY STRIEBERand the book is ’MAJESTIC’.James Forrestalbecame one of the first victims of the cover-up.

“Thelive alienthat had been found wandering in the desert from the1949 Roswell crashwas namedEBE. The name had been suggested byDr. Vannevar Bushand was short for Extraterrestrial Biological Entity.EBEHAD A TENDENCY TO LIE, and for over a year would give only the desired answer to questions asked. Those questions which would have resulted in an undesirable answer went unanswered. At one point during the second year of captivity he began to open up. The information derived fromEBEwas startling, to say the least. This compilation of his revelations became the foundation of what would later be called the ’Yellow Book.’ Photographs were taken of EBE which, among others, I was to view years later in

Project Grudge.

“In late 1951 EBE became ill. Medical personnel had been unable to determine the cause ofEBE’s illness and had no background from which to draw… Several experts were called in to study the illness. These specialists included medical doctors, botanists, and entomologists. A botanist,Dr. Guillermo Mendoza, was brought in to try and help him recover.Dr. Mendozaworked to saveEBEuntil June 2, 1952, whenEBEdied. Dr. Mendoza became the expert on at least this type of alien biology. Themovie E.T.is the thinly disguised story of EBE.

“In a futile attempt to save EBE and to gain favor with this technologically superior race, the United States began broadcasting a call for help early in 1952 into the vast regions of space. The call went unanswered but the project, dubbedSIGMA, continued as an effort of good faith.

(Note: Apparently in this effort to kiss-up to a more technically advanced race of creatures these government officials forgot EBE’s infernal “tendency to lie”, and instead continued to believe what they WANTED to believe… that this was a sure way to satisfy their insatiable appetite for super technology, and that these creatures were benevolent – in spite of the fact that human body parts were found on board at least two of their craft. In our opinion these officials deserve whatever harmful actions may have been taken against them by these creatures as a result of establishing a ’relationship’ with what was obviously a malevolent alien race for mostly selfish motives. It is not certain whether this particular alien was one of the mantis-like “Infernals” or one of the reptilian “Sauroids” who apparently are subject to them.

However the movie ’CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND,’ which whitewashed the actual malevolent nature of the aliens to an incredible degree, depicted BOTH the small saurian ’gray’ type beings and the long-armed ’mantis’ like creatures as working together. As we’ve said it seems that the desire of the secret government to obtain the occult-technology of these particular ’aliens’ was one of their main motivations for establishing a WORKING contact with the saurian grays instead of with the more benevolent though protective human-alien races, even if it meant–as we shall soon see–the sellout of their fellow humans beings to obtain this. This ’forbidden fruit’ of supertechnology would apparently allow the recipients to live like ’gods’ over the rest of humanity. – Branton)

“President Truman created the supersecret National Security Agency (NSA) by secret Executive order on November 4, 1952. Its primary purpose was to decipher the alien communications, language, and establish a dialogue with the extraterrestrials. The most urgent task was a continuation of the earlier effort. The secondary purpose of the NSA was to monitor all communications and emissions from any and all electronic devices worldwide for the purpose of gathering intelligence, both human and alien, AND TO CONTAIN THE SECRET OF THE ALIEN PRESENCE. Project SIGMA was successful.

“The NSA also MAINTAINS COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE LUNA BASE AND OTHER SECRET SPACE PROGRAMS.

(Note: Val Valerian was sent a document which was allegedly a crew roster for ’Starfleet International U.S.S. Concord NCC-1989’ which listed several military personnel and their ACTUAL service numbers. A U.S.S. Excalibur was also mentioned, piloted by WO4. Chuck Graham SFMC-8906-0001; CPL. Chuck Fair SCMC-8908-0005; CPL. Jon Plant SCMC- 8908-0007; and WO3 Mike Wier – no service number given. – Branton)

By executive order of the President, the NSA is exempt from all laws which do not specifically name the NSA in the text of the law as being subject to that law. That means that if the agency is not spelled out in the text on any and every law passed by the Congress it is not subject to that or those laws. The NSA now performs many other duties and in fact is the premier agency within the intelligence network. Today the NSA receives approximately 75 per cent of the monies allotted to the intelligence community. The old saying ’where the money goes therein the power resides’ is true. The DCI (Director of Central Intelligence) today is a figurehead maintained as a public ruse. The primary task of the NSA is still alien communications, but now includes other extraterrestrial projects as well.

“President Truman had been keeping our allies, including the Soviet Union, informed of the developing alien problem. THIS HAD BEEN DONE IN CASE THE ALIENS TURNED OUT TO BE A THREAT TO THE HUMAN RACE.

(Note: Could this explain the sudden and unexpected ’fall’ of the Soviet Union and ’Communism’? Although Communism still resides to a large extent in China and elsewhere it’s power has been greatly diminished in the Bolshevik states. The resulting international cooperation may be a two-edged sword, being either good or bad depending how it is used. For instance a global system might involve INDUSTRIAL cooperation which could strengthen the planet against an alien threat on the one hand while still allowing nations to retain their political independence and cultural diversities; or on the other hand it could involve POLITICAL cooperation which may very well lead to absolute dictatorial control of the world by a person or small group of persons, which would be devastating to the “cultural diversities” which add variety to the human race, who would no doubt be pressured give up their cultural characteristics in order to “conform” to the one-world political “beast”. – Branton)

“PLANS WERE FORMULATED TO DEFEND THE EARTH IN CASE OF INVASION. Great difficulty was encountered in maintaining international secrecy. It was decided that an outside group was necessary to coordinate and control international efforts in order to hide the secret from the normal scrutiny of governments by the press. The result was the formation of a secret ruling body which became known as

the Bilderberger Group. The group was formed and met for the first time in 1952. They were named after the first publicly known meeting place, the Bilderberg Hotel. That public meeting took place in 1954. They were nicknamedthe Bilderbergers. The headquarters of this group is Geneva, Switzerland. TheBilderbergersevolved into asecret world governmentthat now controls everything.The United Nationswas then, and is now, an international joke.

“Beginning in 1953 a new president occupiedthe White House. He was a man used to a structured staff organization with a chain of command. His method was to delegate authority and rule by committee. He made his decisions, but only when his advisors were unable to come up with a consensus. His normal method was to read through or listen to several alternatives and then approve one. Those who worked closely with him have stated that his favorite comment was, ’Just do whatever it takes.’ He spent a lot of time on the golf course. This was not unusual for a man who had been career Army with the ultimate position of Supreme Allied Commander during the war, a post which had earned him five stars. The President wasGeneral of the Army Dwight David Eisenhower.

“During his first year in office, 1953, at least 10 more crashed discs were recovered along with 26 dead and 4 live aliens. Of the 10, 4 were found in Arizona, 2 in Texas, 1 in New Mexico, 1 in Louisiana, 1 in Montana, and 1 in South Africa. There were hundreds of sightings.

“Eisenhowerknew that he had to wrestle and beat the alien problem. He knew that he could not do it by revealing the secret to Congress. Early in 1953 the new President turned to his friend and fellow member of the Council on Foreign Relations

Nelson Rockefeller.EISENHOWERANDROCKEFELLERBEGAN PLANNING THE SECRET STRUCTURE OF THE ALIEN-TASK SUPERVISION, which became a reality within one year.EisenhowerandRockefellerbegan planning the secret structure of the alien-task supervision, which was to become a reality within one year. The idea for

MJ- 12was thus born.

“It wasNelson’s uncleWinthrop Aldrichwho had been crucial in convincingEisenhowerto run for President. The wholeRockefeller familyand with them, the Rockefeller empire, had solidly backedIke.Eisenhowerbelonged heart and soul to theCouncil on Foreign Relationsand the Rockefeller family. ASKINGROCKEFELLERFOR HELP WITH THEALIEN PROBLEMWAS TO BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKEEISENHOWEREVER MADE FOR THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES AND MAYBE FOR HUMANITY.

“Within a week of Eisenhower’s election he had appointed Nelson Rockefeller chairman of a Presidential Advisory Committee on Government Organization. Rockefeller was responsible for planning the reorganization of government, something he had dreamed of for many years. New Deal programs went into one single cabinet position called the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. When the Congress approved the new Cabinet position in April 1953, Nelson was named to the post of Undersecretary toOveta Culp Hobby.
“In 1953 astronomers discovered large objects in space which were tracked moving toward the Earth. It was first believed that they were asteroids. Later evidence proved that the objects could only be spaceships.Project SIGMAintercepted alien radio communications. When the objects reached the Earth they took up very high geosynchronous orbit around the equator. There were several huge ships, and their actual intent was unknown.Project SIGMAand a new project,PLATO, through radio communications using the computer binary language, were able to arrange a landing that resulted in face- to-face contact with alien beings from another planet. The landing took place in the desert. The movie, ’CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND’ is a fictionalized version of the actual event.Project PLATOwas tasked with establishing diplomatic relations with this race of space aliens. A hostage was left with us as a pledge that they would return and formalize a treaty.

“In the meantime, a race of humanoid (Nordic-Blond? –Branton) aliens landed at Homestead Air Force Base in Florida and successfully communicated with the U.S. government. THIS GROUP WARNED US AGAINST THE RACE ORBITING THE EQUATOR AND OFFERED TO HELP US WITH OURSPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT.THEY DEMANDED THAT WE DISMANTLE AND DESTROY OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS AS THE MAJOR CONDITION. THEY REFUSED TO EXCHANGE TECHNOLOGY CITING THAT WE WERESPIRITUALLY UNABLETO HANDLE THE TECHNOLOGY WE ALREADY POSSESSED. THESE OVERTURES WERE REJECTED on the grounds that it would be foolish to disarm in the face of such an uncertain future. There was no track record to read from. IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN UNFORTUNATE DECISION.

“A third landing atMuroc, nowEdwards Air Force Base, took place in 1954. The base was closed for three days and no one was allowed to enter or leave during that time. The historical event had been planned in advance. Details of a treaty had been agreed upon.Eisenhowerarranged to be in Palm Springs on vacation. On the appointed daythe Presidentwas spirited to the base. The excuse was given to the press that he was visiting a dentist. Witnesses to the event have stated that threeUFOsflew over the base and then landed. Antiaircraft batteries were undergoing live-fire training and the startled personnel actually fired at the crafts as they passed overhead… the shells missed and no one was injured.

(Note: These three craft were apparently from the orbiting “gray” craft that the ’humanoids’ warned the government about. This ’meeting’ apparently resulted in one of the major ’U.S. Government – Gray’ treaties. The fact that the startled gunners failed to destroy the alien ships may have been unfortunate, as such an event might have led to an abort of the so-called ’treaty’ deal with the grays. – Branton)

“

President Eisenhowermet with the aliens on February 20, 1954, and a formal treaty between the alien nation and the United States of America was signed. We then received our first alien ambassador from outer space. He was the hostage that had been left at the first landing in the desert. His name was ’

His Omnipotent Highness Crilll or Krilll,’ pronouncedCrillorKrill. In the American tradition of disdain for royal titles he was secretly called ’ORIGINAL HOSTAGE CRILL, OR KRILL.’ Shortly after this meetingPresident Eisenhowersuffered a heart attack (the judgment of God?).

“Four others present at the meeting wereFranklin Allenof the HEARST NEWSPAPERS,Edwin Nourseof

BROOKINGS INSTITUTE,Gerald Lightof METAPHYSICAL RESEARCH fame, andCATHOLIC BISHOP MacIntyreof Los Angeles. Their reaction was judged as a microcosm of what the public reaction might be. Based on this reaction, it was decided that the public could not be told. Later studies confirmed the decision as sound.

“An emotionally revealing letter written byGerald Lightspells out in chilling detail:

’My dear friends: I have just returned fromMuroc. The report is true — devastatingly true! I made the journey in company withFranklin Allenof the Hearst papers andEdwin Nourseof Brookings Institute (Truman’s erstwhile financial advisor) andBishop MacIntyreof L.A. (confidential names for the present, please). When we were allowed to enter the restricted section (after about six hours in which we were checked on every possible item, event, incident and aspect of our personal and public lives), I HAD THE DISTINCT FEELING THAT THE WORLD HAD COME TO AN END WITH FANTASTIC REALISM. FOR I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY HUMAN BEINGS IN A STATE OF COMPLETE COLLAPSE AND CONFUSION, AS THEY REALIZED THAT THEIR OWN WORLD HAD INDEED ENDED WITH SUCH FINALITY AS TO BEGGAR DESCRIPTION. THE REALITY OF ’OTHER-PLANE’ AEROFORMS IS NOW AND FOREVER REMOVED FROM THE REALMS OF SPECULATION AND MADE A RATHER PAINFUL PART OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF EVERY RESPONSIBLE SCIENTIFIC AND POLITICAL GROUP. During my two days’ visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials — with the assistance and permission ofthe Etherians!
’I have no words to express my reactions. It has finally happened. It is now a matter of history.President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over toMurocone night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various ’authorities’ and go directly to the people via radio and television — if the impasse continues much longer. FROM WHAT I COULD GATHER, AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE COUNTRY IS BEING PREPARED FOR DELIVERY ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF MAY.’

“We know that no such announcement was ever made. The silence-control group won that day. We also know that two more ships, for which we can find no witnesses, either landed sometime after the three or were already at the base before the three landed. Gerald Light specifically states that five ships were present and were undergoing study by the Air Force. HIS METAPHYSICAL EXPERIENCE IS EVIDENT IN THAT HE CALLS THE ENTITIES ’ETHERIANS.’ Gerald Light capitalized ’Etherians,’ calling attention to the fact that these beings might have been viewed as gods by Mr. Light.

(Note: Something which the saurian “Grays” etc., apparently wished all humans would believe, and we’re sure “His Omnipotent Highness Krill” would agree. – Branton)

“The alien emblem was known as the ’Trilateral Insignia’ and was displayed on the craft and worn on the alien uniforms. Both of those landings and the second meeting were filmed. These films exist today.

“The treaty stated that the aliens would not interfere in our affairs and we would not interfere in theirs. WE WOULD KEEP THEIR PRESENCE ON EARTH A SECRET. They would furnish us with advanced technology and would help us in our technological development. They would not make any treaty with any other Earth nation. THEY COULD ABDUCT HUMANS ON A LIMITED AND PERIODIC BASIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND MONITORING OF OUR DEVELOPMENT, WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE HUMANS WOULD NOT BE HARMED, WOULD BE RETURNED TO THEIR POINT OF ABDUCTION, AND WOULD HAVE NO MEMORY OF THE EVENT, AND THAT THE ALIEN NATION WOULD FURNISH MAJESTY TWELVE WITH A LIST OF ALL HUMAN CONTACTS AND ABDUCTEES ON A REGULARLY SCHEDULED BASIS.

“It was agreed that each nation would receive the ambassador of the other for as long as the treaty remained in force. It was further agreed that the alien nation and the United States would exchange 16 personnel with the purpose of learning of each other. The alien ’guests’ would remain on earth. THE HUMAN ’GUESTS’ WOULD TRAVEL TO THE ALIEN POINT OF ORIGIN FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME, then return, at which point a reverse exchange would be made. A reenactment of this event was dramatized in the movie ’CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.’ A tipoff to who works for whom can be determined BY THE FACT THAT DR. J. ALLEN HYNEK SERVED AS THE TECHNICAL ADVISOR FOR THE FILM. I noticed that the Top Secret report containing the official version of the truth of the alien question, entitled project GRUDGE, which I read while in the Navy, was co-authored by LT. COL. FRIEND and DR. J. ALLEN HYNEK, WHO WAS CITED AS A CIA ASSET attached to Project GRUDGE – – Dr. Hynek, the one who debunked many legitimate UFO incidents when he functioned as the scientific member of the very public Project BLUEBOOK. Dr. Hynek is the man responsible for the infamous ’it was only swamp gas’ statement.

“It was agreed that bases would be constructed underground for the use of the alien nation and that two bases would be constructed for the joint use of the alien nation and the United States Government. Exchange of technology would take place in the jointly occupied bases. THESE ALIEN BASES WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED UNDER INDIAN RESERVATIONS IN THE FOUR CORNERS AREA OF UTAH, COLORADO, NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA, and one would be constructed in an area known as Dreamland.

(Note: Many sources allege that the reason the ’aliens’ insisted on these underground bases beneath these particular areas was that ’they’ in fact are not exclusively from other planetary bodies, but that they are originally from earth and have for centuries occupied deep cavern levels beneath the earth, and more recently beneath these areas of the southwest. The ’bases’ then, which most in the government would believe are of exclusively human construction for use in ’joint’ operations, would actually be ’covers’ or ’fronts’ for actual subterranean systems already largely under the control of this saurian race. This would explain why many human workers in these ’joint’ bases have been kept highly compartmentalized; why many do not realize what’s taking place in the lower levels or even that such lower levels exist when other deeper-level workers allege that they do; why the ’security’ increases enormously the deeper one descends into these underground bases; and why the human influence decreases and the saurian-reptoid-gray-etc. influence increases the deeper one descends into these bases. – Branton)

“Dreamlandwas built in theMojave desertnear, or in, a place called Yucca. I cannot remember if it was Yucca Valley, Yucca Flat, or Yucca Proving Ground, butYucca Valleyis what I always seem to want to say. MOREUFO SIGHTINGSAND INCIDENTS OCCUR IN THE MOJAVE DESERT OF CALIFORNIA THAN ANY OTHER PLACE IN THE WORLD. So many, in fact, that no one even bothers to make reports. Anyone who ventures into the desert to talk to the residents will be astounded by the frequency of activity and with the degree of acceptance demonstrated by those who have come to regardUFOsas normal.

“Allalien areasare under complete control ofthe Naval Department, (although some may argue that they are only in control of the uppermost levels of these ’bases’. –Branton) according to the documents I read. All personnel who work in these complexes receive their checks from the Navy through a subcontractor. The checks never make reference to the government or the Navy. Construction of the bases began immediately, but progress was slow. LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY WERE MADE AVAILABLE IN 1957. Work continued on theYellow Book.
“Project REDLIGHTwas formed and experiments in test-flying alien craft was begun in earnest. A super-Top Secret facility was built atGroom Lake in Nevadain the midst of the weapons test range. It was code-named

Area 51. The installation was placed under the Department of the Navy and all personnel required a ’Q’ clearance as well as Executive (Presidential, called MAJESTIC) approval. This was ironic, due to the fact that the President of the United States does not have clearance to visit the site. Thealien baseand exchange of technology actually took place in an area code-namedDreamlandabove ground, and the underground portion was dubbed ’the Dark Side of the Moon.’ ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTATION I READ, AT LEAST 600 ALIEN BEINGS ACTUALLY RESIDE FULL TIME AT THIS SITE ALONG WITH AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF SCIENTISTS ANDCIAPERSONNEL. DUE TO THE FEAR OF IMPLANTATION, ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE WERE ALLOWED TO INTERFACE WITH THEALIEN BEINGS, AND THOSE PERSONNEL WERE AND ARE WATCHED AND MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY.

“The Army was tasked to form a supersecret organization to furnish security for the alien-tasked projects. THIS ORGANIZATION BECAME THENATIONAL RECONNAISSANCE ORGANIZATIONBASED ATFORT CARSON, COLORADO. THE SPECIFIC TEAMS TRAINED TO SECURE THE PROJECTS WERE CALLEDDELTA.LT. COL. JAMES ’BO’ GRITZWAS ADELTA FORCECOMMANDER.

“A second project code-named

SNOWBIRDwas promulgated to explain away any sightings of the REDLIGHT crafts as being Air Force experiments. The SNOWBIRD crafts were manufactured using conventional technology and were flown for the press on several occasions.Project SNOWBIRDwas also used to debunk legitimate public sightings of alien craft (UFOsto the public,IACs– Identified Alien Craft – to those in the know).Project SNOWBIRDwas very successful, and reports from the public declined steadily until recent years.

“A multimillion-dollar Secret fund was organized and kept by the Military Office ofthe White House.THIS FUND WAS USED TOBUILD OVER 75 DEEP UNDERGROUND FACILITIES. Presidents who asked were told the fund was used to build deep underground shelters for the President in case of war. Only a few were built forthe President. Millions of dollars were funneled through the office ofMajesty Twelveand then out to the contractors. It was used to build Top Secret alien bases as well as Top SecretDUMB(Deep Underground Military Bases) AND THE FACULTIES PROMULGATED BYALTERNATIVE 2THROUGHOUT THE NATION.President Johnsonused this fund to build a movie theater and pave the road on his ranch. He had no idea of it’s true purpose.

“Thesecret White House underground-constructionfund was set up in 1957 byPresident Eisenhower. The funding was obtained from Congress under the guise of ’construction and maintenance of secret sites where the President could be taken in case of military attack: Presidential Emergency Sites.’ The sites are literally holes in the ground, deep enough to withstand a nuclear blast, and are outfitted with state-of-the-art communications equipment. To date there aremore than 75 sites spread around the countrywhich were built using money from this fund. TheAtomic Energy Commissionhas built at least22 underground sites…

“The location and everything to do with these sites were and are considered and treated as Top Secret. The money was and is in control ofthe Military Office of the White House, and was and is laundered through so circuitous a web that even the most knowledgeable spy or accountant cannot follow it. As of 1980 only a few at the beginning and end of this web knew what the money was for. At the beginning were RepresentativeGeorge Mahonof Texas, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and of its Defense Subcommittee, and RepresentativeRobert Sikesof Florida, chairman of the House Appropriations Military Construction Subcommittee. Today it is rumored that House SpeakerJim Wrightcontrolled the money in Congress and that a power struggle removed him. At the end of the line werethe President,Majesty Twelve, thedirector of the Military Officeand acommander at the Washington Navy Yard.
“The money was authorized by the Appropriations Committee, who allocated it to the Department of Defense as a Top Secret item in the Army construction program. The Army, however, could not spend it and in fact did not even know what it was for. Authorization to spend the money was in reality given to the Navy. The money was channeled to theChesapeake Divisionof the Navy Engineers, who did not know what is was for, either. Not even the commanding officer, who was an admiral, knew what the fund was used for. Only one man, a Navy commander who was assigned to theChesapeake Divisionbut in reality was responsible only to theMilitary Office of the White House, knew of the actual purpose, amount, and ultimate destination of the Top Secret money. THE TOTAL SECRECY SURROUNDING THE FUND MEANT THAT ALMOST EVERY TRACE OF IT COULD BE MADE TO DISAPPEAR BY THE VERY FEW PEOPLE WHO CONTROLLED IT. There has never been and most likely never will be an audit of the secret money.

“Large amounts of money were transferred from the Top Secret fund to a location at Palm Peach, Florida, that belongs to the Coast Guard calledPeanut Island. The island is adjacent to property which was owned byJoseph Kennedy. The money was said to have been used for landscaping and general beautification. Some time ago a TV news special on theKennedyassassination told of a Coast Guard officer transferring money in a briefcase to aKennedyemployee across this property line. Could this have been a secret payment to theKennedy familyfor the loss of their sonJohn F. Kennedy? The payments continued through the year 1967 and then stopped. The total amount transferred is unknown and the actual use of the money is unknown.

“Meanwhile,Nelson Rockefellerchanged positions again. This time he was to takeC.D. Jackson’s old position, which had been called the Special Assistant for Psychological Strategy. WithNelson’s appointment the name was changed to the Special Assistant for Cold War Strategy. This position would evolve over the years into THE SAME POSITIONHENRY KISSINGERWAS ULTIMATELY TO HOLD UNDERPRESIDENT NIXON. Officially he was to give ’advice and assistance in the development of increased understanding and cooperation among all peoples.’ The official description was a smoke screen, for SECRETLY HE WAS THE PRESIDENTIAL COORDINATOR FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. In his new postRockefellerreported directly, and solely, to the President. He attended meetings of the Cabinet, the Council on Foreign Economic Policy, and THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, WHICH WAS THE HIGHEST POLICY- MAKING BODY IN THE GOVERNMENT.

“Nelson Rockefellerwas also given a second important job as the head of the secret unit called thePlanning Coordination Group, which was formed under NSC 5412/1 in March 1955. The group consisted of different ad hoc members, depending on the subject of the agenda. The basic members wereRockefeller, a representative of the Department of Defense, a representative of the Department of State, and the Director of Central Intelligence. It was soon called the 5412 Committee orthe Special Group. NSC 5412/1 established the rule that covert operations were subject to approval by an executive committee, whereas in the past these operations were initiated solely on the authority of the Director of Central Intelligence.

“By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5510,Eisenhowerhad preceded NSC 5412/1 to establish a permanent committee (not ad hoc) to be known as

Majesty Twelve(MJ-12)TO OVERSEE AND CONDUCT ALL COVERT ACTIVITIES CONCERNED WITH THE ALIEN QUESTION. NSC 5412/1 was created to explain the purpose of these meetings when Congress and the press became curious.

“MAJESTY TWELVEwas made up ofNELSON ROCKEFELLER, Director of Central IntelligenceALLEN WELSH DULLES, Secretary of StateJohn Foster Dulles, Secretary of DefenseCharles E. Wilson, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of StaffADMIRAL ARTHUR W. RADFORD, Director of the Federal Bureau of InvestigationJ. EDGAR HOOVER, six men from the executive committee of theCOUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONSknown as the ’Wise Men,’ six members from the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of theJASON Group, andDR. EDWARD TELLER.

“TheJASON Groupis a secret scientific group formed during theManhattan Projectand administered bythe Mitre Corporation. THE INNER CORE OF THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS RECRUITS ITS MEMBERS FROM THESKULL & BONES AND THE SCROLL & KEY SOCIETIES OF HARVARD AND YALE. TheWise Menare key members of theCouncil on Foreign Relationsand also members of the ORDER OF THE QUEST known as theJASON Society.

“THERE WERE 19 MEMBERS OFMAJESTY TWELVE. THE FIRST RULE OF MAJESTY TWELVE WAS THAT NO ORDER COULD BE GIVEN AND NO ACTION COULD BE TAKEN WITHOUT A MAJORITY VOTE OF TWELVE IN FAVOR, THUSMAJORITY TWELVE. Orders issued byMajesty Twelvebecame known asMajority Twelve directives.

“This group was made up over the years of the top officers and directors of theCouncil on Foreign Relationsand later theTrilateral Commission.GORDON DEAN,GEORGE BUSHANDZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKIWERE AMONG THEM. The most important and influential ofthe Wise MenwereJOHN MCCLOY,ROBERT LOVETT,AVERELL HARRIMAN,CHARLES BOHLEN,GEORGE KENNAN, ANDDEAN ACHESON. Their policies were to last well into the decade of the ’70’s. IT IS SIGNIFICANT THATPRESIDENT EISENHOWERAS WELL ASTHE FIRST SIX MAJESTY TWELVE MEMBERSFROM THE GOVERNMENT WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THECOUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS. THIS GAVE CONTROL OF THE MOST SECRET AND POWERFUL GROUP IN GOVERNMENT TO A SPECIAL-INTEREST CLUB THAT WAS ITSELF CONTROLLED BY

THE ILLUMINATI.

“Thorough researchers will soon discover that not all of theWise Menattended Harvard or Yale and not all of them were chosen forSkull & BonesorScroll & Keymembership during their college years. You will be able to quickly clear up the mystery by obtaining the book ’THE WISE MEN’ byWalter IsaacsonandEvan Thomas., Simon and Schuster., New York. Under illustration #9 in the center of the book you will find the caption: ’Lovettwith the Yale Unit, above far right, and on the beach: His initiation into Skull & Bones came at an air base near Dunkirk.’ I have found that members were chosen on an ongoing basis by invitation based upon merit postcollege and were not confined to Harvard and Yale attendees only. Because of this fact, a complete list ofSkull & Bones memberscan never be compiled from the catalogues or addresses of the college segment ofthe Russell Trust, also known asthe Brotherhood of Death, orthe Skull & Bones. Now you know why it has been impossible to pinpoint the membership either by number or by name. I believe that the answer lies hidden in theCFRfiles, if files exist.

“A chosen few were later initiated into the secret branch ofthe Order of the Questknown asthe JASON Society. They are all members of theCouncil on Foreign Relationsand at that time were known as THE EASTERN ESTABLISHMENT. This should give you a clue to the far-reaching and serious nature of these most secret college societies. The society is alive and well today, but now includes MEMBERS OF THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION as well.The Trilateralsexisted secretly BEFORE 1973. THE NAME OF THETRILATERAL COMMISSIONWAS TAKEN FROMTHE ALIEN FLAG KNOWN AS THE TRILATERAL INSIGNIA.Majesty Twelvewas to survive right up to the present day. UnderEisenhowerandKennedyit was erroneously called the5412 Committee, or more correctly,the Special Group. In theJohnsonadministration it became the303 Committeebecause the name ’5412’ had been compromised in the book ’THE SECRET GOVERNMENT.’ Actually, NSC 5412/1 was leaked to the author to hide the existence of NSC 5410. UnderNixon,Ford, andCarterit was calledthe 40 Committee, and underReaganit became known asthe PI-40 Committee. Over all those years ONLY THE NAME CHANGED.

“BY 1955 IT BECAME OBVIOUS THATTHE ALIENSHAD DECEIVEDEISENHOWERAND HAD BROKEN THE TREATY. MUTILATED HUMANS WERE BEING FOUND ALONG WITH MUTILATED ANIMALS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. IT WAS SUSPECTED THAT THE ALIENS WERE NOT SUBMITTING A COMPLETE LIST OF HUMAN CONTACTS AND ABDUCTEES TOMAJESTY TWELVEAND IT WAS SUSPECTED THAT NOT ALL ABDUCTEES HAD BEEN RETURNED. TheSoviet Unionwas suspected of interacting with them,an this proved to be true.THE ALIENSSTATED THAT THEY HAD BEEN, AND WERE THEN,MANIPULATING MASSES OF PEOPLE THROUGH SECRET SOCIETIES, WITCHCRAFT, MAGIC, THE OCCULT, ANDRELIGION. You must understand that this claim could also be amanipulation. AFTER SEVERAL AIR FORCE COMBAT AIR ENGAGEMENTS WITH ALIEN CRAFT it became apparent that our weapons were no match against them.

“In November 1955 NSC-5412/2 was issued establishing a study committee to explore ’all factors which are involved in the making and implementing of foreign policy in the nuclear age.’ This was only a blanket of snow that covered the real subject of study, the alien question.

“By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5511 in 1954,President Eisenhowerhad commissioned the study group to ’EXAMINE ALL THE FACTS, EVIDENCE, LIES, AND DECEPTION AND DISCOVER THE TRUTH OFTHE ALIEN QUESTION.’ NSC 5412/2 was only a cover that had become necessary when the press began inquiring as to the purpose of regular meetings of such important men. The first meetings began in 1954 and were called the Quantico meetings because they met atthe Quantico Marine Base. The study group was made up solely of 35 members of the Council on Foreign Relations’ secret study group.Dr. Edward Tellerwas invited to participate.Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinskiwas the study director for the first 18 months.Dr. Henry Kissingerwas chosen as the group’s study director for the second 18 months beginning in November 1955.Nelson Rockefellerwas a frequent visitor during the study.

“The second-phase meetings were also held at the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia, and the group became known as Quantico II. Nelson Rockefeller built a retreat somewhere in Maryland for Majesty Twelve and the study committee. It could be reached only by air. In this manner they could meet away from public scrutiny. This secret meeting place is known by the code name ’the Country Club.’ Complete living, eating, recreation, library, and meeting facilities exist at the location. (The Aspen Institute is not the Country Club.)

“The study group was publicly terminated in the later months on 1956. Henry Kissinger wrote what was officially termed the results of 1957 as ’NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND FOREIGN POLICY,’ published for the Council on Foreign Relations by Harper & Brothers, New York. IN TRUTH, THE MANUSCRIPT HAD ALREADY BEEN 80% WRITTEN WHILE KISSINGER WAS AT HARVARD. THE STUDY GROUP CONTINUED, VEILED IN SECRECY. A clue to the seriousness Kissinger attached to the study can be found in statements by his wife and friends. Many of them stated that Henry would leave home early each morning and return late each night without speaking to anyone or responding to anyone. It seemed as if he were in another world which held no room for outsiders.

“These statements are very revealing. The revelations of the alien presence and actions during the study must have been a great shock. Henry Kissinger was definitely out of character during this time. He would never again be affected in this manner, no matter the seriousness of any subsequent event. On many occasions he would work very late into the night after having put in a full day. This behavior eventually led to divorce.

“A major finding of the alien study WAS THAT THE PUBLIC COULD NOT BE TOLD. IT WAS BELIEVED THAT THIS WOULD MOST CERTAINLY LEAD TO ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, COLLAPSE OF THE RELIGIOUS STRUCTURE, AND NATIONAL PANIC, WHICH COULD LEAD TO ANARCHY.

(Note: This was no doubt based largely on the assumption that the existence of these ’aliens’ could not be explained in terms of traditional Christian religion, which conclusion might have been reached by many, especially in the face of the saurian grays’ persistent attempts to hide their true reptilian nature as it relates to ancient Biblical history and prophecy. However, based on what we’ve already covered in these files, it is evident that such alien activity does in reality conform to Christian theology and was in fact prophesied in Judeo-Christian scripture thousands of years ago. The ignorance would merely be an inability to properly interpret these ancient prophecies due to a lack of a foundational knowledge necessary to make such correct interpretations. Therefore such knowledge, if presented properly, would probably not bring about a collapse in the ’religious’ world. Also, the realization of the existence of an Almighty Creator-God infinitely more powerful than the ’aliens’ would likely prevent the ’panic’ and resulting economic collapse – anarchy which the ’Study Group’ feared. – Branton)

“Secrecy thus continued. An offshoot of this finding was that if the public could not be told, Congress could not be told. Funding for the projects and research would have to come from outside the Government. In the meantime money was to be obtained from the military budget and from CIA confidential, non-appropriated funds.

“ANOTHER MAJOR FINDING WAS THAT THE ALIENS WERE USING HUMANS AND ANIMALS FOR A SOURCE OF GLANDULAR SECRETIONS, ENZYMES, HORMONAL SECRETIONS, BLOOD PLASMA AND POSSIBLY IN GENETIC EXPERIMENTS. The aliens explained these actions as necessary to their survival. They stated that their genetic structure had deteriorated and that they were no longer able to reproduce. They stated that if they were unable to improve their genetic structure, their race would soon cease to exist. WE LOOKED UPON THEIR EXPLANATIONS WITH SUSPICION.

(Note: According to sources which we will quote later on, the actual purposes of the mutilations are far different than what these alien creatures allege them to be. Some groups connected to MJ-12 however seem to have fallen for this propaganda, such as the top secret ’Yellow Fruit’ unit working in Nevada who are, or at least were at one point, convinced that the ’grays’ were incapable of reproducing. In spite of ’their’ allegations that they cannot reproduce, certain witnesses have alleged that the saurian grays are actually reproducing profusely within DEEP underground levels utilizing solar-heat ’egg’ hatcheries, polyembryony tanks, cloning, etc. Also, the body fluids according to other sources are not used exclusively for ’improving their genetic structure’ but as sustenance or ’food’ for the saurian grays, etc. Their claims to the contrary, as well as other allegations, should be studied in the light of their previous known TENDENCIES TO LIE. – Branton)

“Since our weapons were literally useless against the aliens, Majesty Twelve decided to continue friendly diplomatic relations UNTIL SUCH A TIME AS WE WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP A TECHNOLOGY WHICH WOULD ENABLE US TO CHALLENGE THEM ON A MILITARY BASES. Overtures would have to be made to the Soviet Union and other nations to join forces for the survival of humanity. In the meantime PLANS WERE DEVELOPED TO RESEARCH AND CONSTRUCT TWO WEAPONS SYSTEMS USING CONVENTIONAL AND NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WOULD HOPEFULLY BRING US TO PARITY.

“The results of the research were Projects JOSHUA and EXCALIBUR. JOSHUA was a weapon captured from the Germans which was capable of shattering 4-inch-thick armor plate at a range of two miles. It used aimed, low-frequency sound waves, and it was believed that this weapon would be effective against the alien craft and beam weapons. EXCALIBUR was a weapon carried by a missile not to rise above 30,000 feet above ground level (AGL), not to deviate from designated target more than 50 meters, able to… penetrate ’1,000 METERS OF TUFA, HARD- PACKED SOIL SUCH AS THAT FOUND IN NEW MEXICO,’ carry a one-megaton warhead, and intended for use in destroying the aliens in their underground bases.

(Note: According to many sources several of the ’alien’ underground bases contain humans – human-souled-hybrids, and human captives both living and in cold storage, who have been the victims of alien abductions from surface and in some cases subsurface or extrasurface communities. Obviously, EXCALIBUR should not be used against such installations, but the surface-to-subsurface routes should be sought out and an underground invasion force should be utilized to destroy the aliens yet spare any surviving humans and take the bases intact. To do otherwise may be in essence ’sacrificing’ innocent lives needlessly to get an advantage over the aliens, in which case we would prove ourselves to be no better than the alien-grays/sauroids themselves! In connection with the JOSHUA anti-spacecraft weapon, extreme caution should of course be used to distinguish human-occupied spacecraft from those craft utilized by the saurians. – Branton)

“JOSHUA was developed successfully but never used, to my knowledge. EXCALIBUR was not pushed until recent years and now, we are told, THERE IS AN UNPRECEDENTED EFFORT TO DEVELOP THIS WEAPON. The public would be told that EXCALIBUR would be needed to take out Soviet underground command posts. We know that is not true because one rule of war is that you try not to destroy the leaders. They are needed to ensure peaceful transition of power and compliance of the populace to all negotiated or dictated terms.

“A symposium was held in 1957 which was attended by some of the great scientific minds then living. They reached the conclusion that by, or shortly after, the year 2000 the planet WOULD self-destruct due to increased population and man’s exploitation of the environment WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM GOD OR THE ALIENS.

“By secret Executive order of President Eisenhower, the JASON Scholars were ordered to study this scenario and make recommendations from their findings. The JASON Society CONFIRMED the findings of the scientists and made three recommendations called ALTERNATIVES 1, 2, AND 3.

“Alternative 1 was to use nuclear devices to blast holes in the stratosphere from which the heat and pollution could escape into space. They would then change the human cultures from that of exploitation into cultures of environmental protection. Of the three this was decided to be the least likely to succeed due to the inherent nature of man and the additional damage the nuclear explosions would themselves create. THE EXISTENCE OF A HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER MAY INDICATE THAT ALTERNATIVE 1 MIGHT HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED. THIS IS, HOWEVER, ONLY CONJECTURE.

“ALTERNATIVE 2 WAS TO BUILD A VAST NETWORK OF UNDERGROUND CITIES AND TUNNELS IN WHICH A SELECT REPRESENTATION OF ALL CULTURES AND OCCUPATIONS WOULD SURVIVE AND CARRY ON THE HUMAN RACE. THE REST OF HUMANITY WOULD BE LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES ON THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET. We know that these facilities have been built and are ready and waiting for the chosen few to be notified.

“Alternative 3 was to exploit the alien and conventional technology in order for a select few to leave the earth and establish colonies in outer space. I am not able to either confirm or deny the existence of ’batch consignments’ of human slaves, which would be used for the manual labor as a part of the plan. The Moon, code-named ADAM, was the object of primary interest, followed by the planet Mars, code-named EVE. I am now in possession of official NASA photographs of one of the moon bases. I believe that the Mars colony is also a reality.

(Note: There are some who suggest that “global warming” may not actually be taking place as believed, and that this “scare” is based largely on computerized models or simulations which have not always coincided with actual temperature variations. Is it possible that the earth is attempting to “heal” itself? Could it be that to some extent “global warming” is more-or-less an “excuse” that is being used to justify huge expenditures for subterran and exterran “bases” for secret government use such as in the “Alternative” scenarios? This is of course, even if true, no reason to destroy this planet, as pollution of the air, water and earth IS something which could lead to an eventual devastation of this Earth. – Branton)

“As a delaying action, ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES included BIRTH CONTROL, STERILIZATION, AND THE INTRODUCTION OF DEADLY MICROBES TO CONTROL OR SLOW THE GROWTH OF EARTH’S POPULATION. AIDS is only ONE result of these plans. It was decided BY THE ELITE that since the population must be reduced and controlled, it would be in the best interest of the human race to rid ourselves of undesirable elements of our society. Specific targeted populations included BLACKS, HISPANICS, and HOMOSEXUALS.”

(Note: It appears that when they made this decision the elite were on the verge of possessing the technology to solve the overpopulation, food and energy problems – even to the point of being able to transport excess populations to other planetary bodies if necessary. Apparently they opted for mass genocide which they believed would keep the population to a manageable minimum, not wishing to give up the political and economic control which they possessed and which would to a large degree be lost if they openly gave this super- technology freely to the masses. Pro-abortion activist-leader and ’Planned Parenthood’ founder Margaret Sanger betrays her own devotion to the Globalist genocidal policies and insensitivity to women’s rights, especially non-Aryan women’s rights – not to mention the constitutional rights to ’life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ on the part of multi-millions of children – in the following words from her first book ’PIVOT OF CIVILIZATION’. In reference to free maternity care for the poor she states: “Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant.” And in reference to her ’Negro Project’ of the late 1930’s, which aimed at recruiting black ministers, physicians and political leaders for birth control and sterilization in the black community, Sanger wrote: “…We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” – Branton)

“The joint U.S. and Soviet leadership dismissedAlternative 1BUT ORDERED WORK TO BEGIN ONALTERNATIVES 2 AND 3VIRTUALLY AT THE SAME TIME. In 1959the Rand Corporationhosted a Deep Underground Construction Symposium. In the symposium report, machines are pictured and described WHICH COULD BORE A TUNNEL 45 FEET IN DIAMETER AT THE RATE OF 5 FEET PER HOUR IN 1959. IT ALSO DISPLAYS PICTURES OF HUGE TUNNELS AND UNDERGROUND VAULTS CONTAINING WHAT APPEAR TO BE COMPLEX FACILITIES AND POSSIBLY EVEN CITIES. IT APPEARS THAT THE PREVIOUS FIVE YEARS OF ALL- OUT UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION HAD MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS BY THAT TIME.

“The ruling powersdecided that one means of funding the alien- connected and other’

black’projectswas tocorner the illegal drug market. THE ENGLISH AND THE FRENCH HAD ESTABLISHED A HISTORICAL PRECEDENT WHEN THEY EXPLOITED THE OPIUM TRADE IN THE FAR EAST AND USED IT TO FILL THEIR COFFERS AND GAIN A SOLID FOOTHOLD IN CHINA AND VIETNAM, RESPECTIVELY.

“A young ambitious member of theCouncil on Foreign Relationswas approached. His name wasGeorge Bush, who at the time was the president and CEO of THE OFFSHORE DIVISION OF ZAPATA OIL, BASED IN TEXAS.Zapata Oilwas experimenting with the new technology of offshore drilling. It was correctly thought that the drugs could be shipped from South America to the offshore platforms by fishing boat, to be taken from there to shore by the normal transportation used for supplies and personnel. By this method no customs or law enforcement agency would subject the cargo to search.

“George Bushagreed to help, and organized the operation IN CONJUNCTION WITH THECIA. The plan worked better than anyone had dreamed. It has since expanded worldwide. There are now many other methods of bringing illegal drugs into the country. IT MUST ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED THATGEORGE BUSHBEGAN THE SALE OF DRUGS TO OUR CHILDREN. TheCIAnow controls most of the world’s illegal drug markets.

“The official space program was boosted byPresident Kennedyin his inaugural address when he mandated that the United States put a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. Although innocent in its conception, this mandate enabled those in charge to funnel vast amounts of money into black projects AND CONCEAL THE REAL SPACE PROGRAM FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. A similar program inthe Soviet Unionserved the same purpose. IN FACT,A JOINT ALIEN, UNITED STATES, AND SOVIET UNION BASEEXISTED ONTHE MOONAT THE VERY MOMENTKENNEDYSPOKE THE WORDS.

“On May 22, 1962, a space probe landed onMarsand confirmed the existence of AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH COULD SUPPORT LIFE.

(Note: Some may recall many years later when the first PUBLICIZED probe landed on the surface of Mars and began sending back pictures of a reddish-brown planet with a light blue sky. Immediately after this we were told “oops,” the blue sky was just a mistake in the programming of the camera, which began sending the “photos” back to earth in the wrong color. “Fortunately” the problem was “solved” and subsequent photographs appeared in which the sky was reddish-pink. – Branton)

Not long afterward the construction of a colony on the planet Mars began in earnest. Today I believe a colony exists on Mars populated by specially selected people from different cultures and occupations taken from all over the Earth. A PUBLIC CHARADE of antagonism between the Soviet Union and the United States has been maintained over all these years IN ORDER TO FUND PROJECTS IN THE NAME OF NATIONAL DEFENSE WHEN IN FACT WE ARE THE CLOSEST ALLIES.

(Note: M.J. of El Paso, TX sent a letter to ’World Watchers International’ – Fall 1989 issue, p. 18 – concerning a woman he’d talked to who worked at JPL in Pasadena, CA., in 1962, as a classified ’photo interpreter’. Her husband also worked there designing domed structures capable of resisting ’gale- velocity winds’ for ’colonies on the Moon, and then Mars!’ Her husband was sent on a SUPER SECRET mission. Then one day she received word that her husband had died and no further details, then her ’Q’ clearance was pulled. When asked of his fate she said with dead seriousness: “I think he was drafted to Mars!” – Branton)

“At some point President Kennedy discovered portions of the truth concerning the drugs and aliens. He issued an ultimatum in 1963 to Majesty Twelve. President Kennedy assured them that if they did not clean up the drug problem, he would. HE INFORMED MAJORITY TWELVE THAT HE INTENDED TO REVEAL THE PRESENCE OF (THE) ALIENS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITHIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND ORDERED A PLAN DEVELOPED TO IMPLEMENT HIS DECISION.

(Note: We can consider these Files and other present efforts to inform the public of the alien problem as being nothing less than a Patriotic duty to fulfill the decree as set out by this former American President. – Branton)

“President Kennedy’s decision struck fear into the hearts of those in charge. His assassination was ordered bythe Policy Committeeand the order was carried out by agents in Dallas.

“During the United States’ initial space exploration and the Moon landings every launch was accompanied by alien craft. ON NOVEMBER 20, 1990, LOS ANGELES TV CHANNEL 2 ANNOUNCED THAT A SEPARATE, RED, GLOWING, ROUND-SHAPED OBJECT ACCOMPANIED THE SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS ON IT’S LATEST CLASSIFIED MILITARY MISSION.THAT WAS THE FIRST PUBLIC ADMISSION.

“TheMoon base,Luna, was photographed bythe Lunar Orbiterand filmed bythe Apollo astronauts. Domes, spires, tall round structures which look like silos, huge T-shaped mining vehicles that left stitchlike tracks in

the lunar surface, and extremely large as well as small alien craft appear in the officialNASAphotographs. It is a joint United States and Soviet base. THE SPACE PROGRAM IS A FARCE AND AN UNBELIEVABLE WASTE OF MONEY.ALTERNATIVE 3IS A REALITY. IT IS NOT SCIENCE FICTION. “The Apollo astronauts were severely shaken by this experience, and their lives and subsequent statements reflect the depth of the revelation and the effect of the muzzle order which followed. They were ordered to remain silent or suffer the extreme penalty, death, which was termed an ’EXPEDIENCY.’ One astronaut actually did talk to the British producers of the TV expose ’ALTERNATIVE 003.’ It was aired on the documentary, NONFICTION program named ’SCIENCE REPORT,’ confirming many of the allegations.

“In the book ’ALTERNATIVE 003’ the pseudonym ’Bob Grodin’ was used in place of the astronaut’s identity. (The realBob Grodinis a friend ofLeslie Watkinsand is a part of theKennedyassassination cover-up.) It was also stated that the astronaut ’committed suicide’ in 1978. This cannot be validated by any source, and I believe that several so- called facts in the book are really disinformation. I firmly believe that this disinformation is a result of pressure put upon the authors and is meant to nullify the effect upon the populace of the British TV expose ’ALTERNATIVE 003.’

“THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY IS IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. THE RULING BODY IS MADE UP OF THREE COMMITTEES CONSISTING OF THIRTEEN MEMBERS EACH, AND ALL THREE TOGETHER COMPRISE THE 39 MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BODY KNOWN AS

THE BILDERBERG GROUP. The most important and powerful of the three committees isthe Policy Committee. (It is more than interesting to note that the United States had thirteen original colonies and that 39 delegates from these colonies signed the Constitution after it was written and adopted in the first Constitutional Convention. Do you believe that is coincidence?) Policy Committee meetings are held on a nuclear submarine beneath the polar icecap. A Soviet sub and an American sub join at an airlock and the meeting is convened. The secrecy is such that this was the only method which would ensure that the meetings could not be bugged.

(Note: Or in simple terms, the “Illuminati” operating in the highest levels of the American and Russian governments have for years been cooperating together, all the while keeping up the “illusion” of two opposing superpowers for the sake of keeping the world’s population “divided” and all the more easily controlled, and probably as a method for justifying huge expenditures for military and space development. Dr. John Coleman has documented that the former “Communist Movement” in Russia and the “Eastern Establishment” of America were from their beginnings both tied-in to the highest levels of Freemasonry. – Branton)

“I can say that the book ’ALTERNATIVE 003’ is at least 70% true from my own knowledge and the knowledge of my sources. I believe that the disinformation was an attempt to compromise the British TV expose with information that could be false, just as the ’Eisenhower Briefing Document,’ which was released here in the United States under the contingency planMajestic Twelve, can also be proven false.

“Since ourinteraction with the aliensbegan we have come into possession of technology beyond our wildest dreams. We currently have, and fly, atomic-powered antigravity-type craft in Nevada. Our pilots have made interplanetary voyages in these craft and have been to the

Moon,

Mars, and other planets. We have been lied to about the true nature of theMoon, the planetsMarsandVenus, and the REAL state of technology that we possess today, at this very moment.

“There are areas on theMoonwhere plant life grows and even changes color with the seasons. This seasonal effect is because theMoondoes not, as claimed, always present the exact same side to the Earth or the Sun. TheMoonhas several man-made lakes and ponds upon its surface, and clouds have been observed and filmed in its atmosphere. It possesses a gravity field — and man can walk upon its surface WITHOUT A SPACE SUIT, breathing from an oxygen bottle and undergoing decompression, the same way as any deep-sea diver!

“I have the officialNASAphotographs. Some of them were published in the books ’WE DISCOVERED ALIEN BASES ON THE MOON’ byFred Stecklingand ’SOMEONE ELSE IS ON THE MOON’. In 1969 a confrontation broke out between the Soviets and Americans at the lunar base. The Soviets attempted to take control of the base and held American scientists and personnel hostage.

(Note: There is evidence that the Luna Base on the Moon, the Dreamland Base in Nevada-California, and the Dulce-Archuleta Base near the Four-Corners are all tied-together. Other sources such as former Dulce security officer “Thomas C.” stated that another “altercation” DID in fact break out in the Dulce Base while he was there, and possibly in the Nevada Base as well about the same time, although such an altercation in the tunnels beneath the Nevada Military Complex has not been ’confirmed’ to us. Either these two accounts – Luna and Dulce – are based on the same incident, or more than one “altercation” took place, one between Americans and Russians in Luna, and one between Humans and Saurians in the Dulce Base. From various sources we can conclude that the trilaterally-connected Luna- Archuleta-Dreamland bases are jointly occupied by Americans-Russians-saurian grays of different types, as well as possibly “defectors” or “sell outs” from the “Nordic-Blond-or-Aryan” societies. Although Cooper claims to have seen no documentation on the alleged ’Dulce Wars’, he did claim to have read documents telling of the altercation in the joint CIA-Alien-Russian base ’Luna’. – Branton)

“The Soviets were suspended from the program for a period of two years. A reconciliation eventually took place and once again we began to interact.

“I cannot even begin to outline the entire financial empire controlled by the CIA, the NSA, and the Council on Foreign Relations, WHICH IN TURN CONTROL AND LAUNDER THE MONEY FROM DRUGS AND OTHER INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY PROPRIETARY VENTURES; but I can give you a beginning. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IS BEYOND ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE AND IS HIDDEN IS A VAST NETWORK OF BANKS AND HOLDING COMPANIES. You should first begin to look at,

the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation,
the Schroder Trust Company,
Schroders Ltd. (London),
Helbert Wagg Holdings Ltd.,
J. Henry Schroder-Wagg & Co. Ltd.,
Schroder Gerbruder and Company (Germany),
Schroder Munchmeyer Gengst and Company,
Castle Bank and its holding companies,
the Asian Development Bank,
and the Nugan Hand octopus of banks and holding companies.

“A contingency plan was formulated byMajesty Twelveto throw every one off the trail should they come close to the truth. The plan was known asMAJESTIC TWELVE. IT WAS IMPLEMENTED WITH THE RELEASE BYMOORE,SHANDERA, ANDFRIEDMANOF THE PURPORTEDEISENHOWERBRIEFING DOCUMENT. THE DOCUMENT IS A FRAUD, BECAUSE IT IS NUMBERED 092447, A NUMBER WHICH DOES NOT EXIST AND WILL NOT EXIST FOR QUITE A LONG TIME AT THE PRESENT RATE.Trumanwrote Executive orders in the 9000 range;Eisenhower’s were in the 10,000;Fordwas up to the 11,000 bracket; andReaganreached only into the 12,000s. Executive orders are numbered consecutively, no matter who occupies theWhite House, for reasons of continuity, record keeping, and to prevent confusion. THIS RED HERRING HAS THROWN THE ENTIRE RESEARCH COMMUNITY OFF THE TRAIL FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS RESULTED IN THE WASTED EXPENDITURE OF MONEY LOOKING FOR INFORMATION WHICH DOES NOT EXIST.

“…Another plan is in force. It is the plan to prepare the public foreventual confrontation with an alien race. IT COULD ALSO INTEND TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN AN ALIEN RACE THAT DOES NOT EXIST. The public is being bombarded with movies, radio, advertising, and TV programs depicting almost every aspect of the “purported” true nature of the alien presence. This includes the good and bad. Look around and pay attention. SOMEONE IS PLANNING TO MAKE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN AND THE GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING YOU FOR IT. They do not want any panic. The unprecedented number of sightings worldwide indicates that public exposure is not far off. Never in history have there been so many official acknowledgements.

“For many years

the Secret Governmenthas been importing drugs and selling them to the people, mainly the poor and minorities. Social welfare programs were put into place to create a dependent, nonworking element in our society. The government then began to remove these programs to force people into a criminal class that did not exist in the ’50s and ’60s.

“The government encouraged the manufacture and importation of military firearms for the criminals to use. This is intended to foster a feeling of insecurity, which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws against firearms.

(Note: In a “dis-armed” society, the law-abiding citizens would give up their gun rights, while the “criminals” who are conditioned to not following the laws anyways would still retain their firearms. They will be “illegal” of course, but breaking the law would be nothing new to them. – Branton)

Using drugs and hypnosis on mental patients in a process called Orion, the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on schoolyards and thus inflame the anti-gun lobby.

(Note: This aspect of “hypnosis” has been used in other murders- assassinations. Contrary to popular belief, a person CAN be forced to commit an act under hypnosis that they would not normally commit in waking consciousness. For instance they could be told that so-and-so was a threat to civilization, and they would, while in the trance state, ’see’ that person as the monster the hypnotists made them out to be. There is much evidence, as contained in Sirhan Sirhan’s diary and elsewhere, that this alleged murderer of Robert Kennedy was being psychologically manipulated by a certain group through hypnosis, that Sirhan Sirhan was an incredibly vulnerable hypnosis victim, and that he had no memory after the event of firing on Robert Kennedy. Witnesses claimed that a “security guard” pulled a gun on Kennedy, and that at least 10 bullets were fired, two of which were later found embedded in a “pantry” doorframe and which could not have been fired by Sirhan Sirhan as his gun only held a maximum of eight bullets. This has been confirmed by Geraldo Rivera and several other TV “news magazines” that re-covered the Robert Kennedy assassination shortly following the interest generated after the release of the movie “J.F.K.” – Branton).

This plan is well under way, and so far is working perfectly. The middle class is begging the government to do away with the 2nd amendment.

“Author’s note: I have found that these events have indeed happened over the country. in every instance that i have investigated–the incident at the woman’s school in Canada, the shopping center incident in Canada, the Stockton, California, massacre, and the murder of rabbi Meir Kahane–the shooters were all ex-mental patients or were current mental patients who were all on the drug Prozac! this drug, when taken in certain doses, increases the serotonin level in the patient, causing extreme violence. couple that with a posthypnotic suggestion or control through an electronic brain implant or microwave or e.l.f. intrusion and you get a mass murder, ending in every case with the suicide of the perpetrator. exhume the bodies of the murderers and check for a brain implant. I think you are going to be surprised. in every case the name of the murderer’s doctor or mental treatment facility has been withheld. I believe we will be able to establish intelligence-community connections and/or connections to known CIA experimental mind-control programs when we finally discover who these doctors of death really are.

“Due to the wave of crime sweeping the nation, the media will convince the American people that a state of anarchy exists within the major cities. They are now building their case almost nightly on TV and daily in the newspapers. When public opinion has been won to this idea, they intend to state that a terrorist group armed with a nuclear weapon has entered the united states and that they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities. (This is now being set up by the crisis in the middle east.) the government will then suspend the constitution and declare martial law. the secret alien army of implanted humans and all dissidents, which translates into anyone they choose, will be rounded up and placed in the one-mile-square concentration camps which already exist. Are the people whom they intend to place in these concentration camps destined to make up the reported ’batch consignments’ of slave labor needed by the space colonies?

“The media–radio, tv, newspapers, and computer networks– will be nationalized and seized. anyone who resists will be taken or killed. this entire operation was rehearsed by the government and military in 1984 under the code name REX-84a and it went off without a hitch. When these events have transpired, the Secret Government and/or alien takeover will be complete. your freedom will never be returned and you will live in slavery the remainder of your life. you had better wake up and you had better do it now!

“Philip Klass is an agent of the CIA. This was stated in the documents I saw between 1970 and 1973. one of his jobs as an aviation expert was to debunk everything to do with ufos. All military commanders were instructed to call him to gain information on how to debunk and/or explain UFO contacts and/or sightings to the public and/or the press if and when the need arose. Some people seem to love Klass. They encourage him and heap large doses of attention upon him. He is invited to speak at UFO events and is quoted in papers, books, and newspapers as being the expert on ’what really happened.’

“Philip Klass is not operating in our best interest. His debunking and explanations of UFO sightings are so full of holes that a six-year-old child should be able to discern his true purpose. I have seen poor misled people actually ask Klass for his autograph, an act similar in magnitude to Elliot Ness asking Al Capone for His autograph. I have found that in many instances the secret elect are absolutely right when they state that ’people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.’

(Quote from: “Silent Weapons of Quite Wars“, which is – according to Cooper – the Illuminati’s declaration of War upon the people of America, as it was formulated by the Policy Committee of the Bilderberg Group during its first known meeting in 1954. The document, dated May 1979, was found on July 7, 1986, in an IBM copier that had been purchased at a surplus sale. Copies of this manual, designated ’TM-SW7905.1’ by it’s writers, can be obtained from the William Cooper Foundation., P.O. Box 3299., Camp Verde, CA 86322. – Branton)

We get exactly what we deserve in most instances.

“William Moore, Jaime Shandera, and Stanton Friedman are witting (with full knowledge, understanding, and consent) agents of the Secret Government.William Moore’s reported use of a Defense Investigative Service ID card and his reported self- confession to Lee Graham that he is an agent of the government confirmed it. (Lee Graham phoned me at my home, and when asked, confirmed that MOORE HAD INDEED SHOWN HIM A DEFENSE INVESTIGATIVE SERVICE ID.) Moore’s later confession proved it without any doubt.

“Author’s note: on July 1, 1989, the night before I presented this paper to the ’MUFON’ symposium in Las Vegas, William Moore admitted that he was a government agent, that he had released disinformation to researchers, that he had falsified documents, that he had spied upon researchers and reported information concerning those researchers to the intelligence community, that he had helped in a counterintelligence operation against Paul Bennewitz that resulted in Mr. Bennewitz’s commitment to a mental institution, and that he had done all this with full knowledge of what he was doing.

“Some of the self-appointed ’ufologists’ still look up to Moore, and still cite his research in their correspondence, papers, and books. This reflects a degree of ignorance and stupidity in the UFO community. Bruce Maccabee wrote a letter to CAVEAT EMPTOR citing articles from William Moore’s publication, FOCUS, as proof that I am discredited. Dream on. It is no mystery to me why mainstream America calls ufologists whackos, loonies, and nuts. In some cases they are.

“In documents that I read between 1970 and 1973, the names of individuals were listed who had been targeted for recruitment. These documents stated that these people were to be coerced, using patriotism as a motivating force whenever possible. If necessary, financial assistance would be provided through employment with a proprietary front company or through grants.

(Note: This does not mean that all of these actually WERE recruited, at least let us hope that was the case. Nor does it mean that all who were “recruited” have been told the whole truth. Secret Societies, the CIA included, often use deception to manipulate the “lower” hierarchies into carrying out particular actions which the inner core wish to implement. There is usually only a very small group of “inner elite” who know the whole story. The “pawns” would most likely not offer their services if they knew where their actions were taking them and their country. For instance a CIA “asset” serving the “Company” for “patriotic” reasons may in essence be digging their own grave, in reality selling out the country they are trying to defend, selling out themselves, their descendants, and so on to an agenda they don’t know anything about. – Branton).

“This is, coincidentally, the method by which Friedman got his $16,000 from another agent, Bruce Maccabee. We have also found that Moore has received money for research from at least two CIA front companies. This has been confirmed by the research of Grant Cameron. Others named on the list were cited as active intelligence agency assets. When I first presented this paper I gave only a partial list of those named on the Naval Intelligence documents. Following are as many names as I can remember. (There may be more, but these are all I can recall at this time.)…

(Note: Some of these are apparently CIA AGENTS, while others are CIA ASSETS. An agent would know what’s going on while an “asset” may not – but may be “strung along” and manipulated without fully realizing it. – Branton)

Stanton Friedman, CIA;
John Lear, CIA (Lear’s father was named as having participated in antigravity research);
William Moore;
John Keel (was he used to trump up the existing though not all-inclusive PARAPHYSIAL aspect of UFO’s to the exclusion of the physical aspects? – Branton);
Charles Berlitz;
Bruce Maccabee, ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence);
Linda Moulton Howe;
Philip Klass, CIA;
James Moseley, CIA (Moseley’s father was discussed in a very complimentary manner);
Virgil Armstrong, CIA (listed as Postlethwaite);
Wendelle Stevens, CIA;
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, CIA.

“That is the list as I remember it. There may have been others, but I cannot recall. I know of other agents who were not on the list. You must remember that when I first wrote this paper I thought thatBruce Maccabeemight not have been recruited, but then later he proved me wrong when he gaveStanton Friedman$16,000 to investigate himself.

“There was a two-word code that these people were to use to identify each other.The first word was a color and the second was a bird. The code was ’Gold Eagle.’ WhenStanton Friedmanfirst contacted me he used the code. I pretended ignorance but he asked me several times if I had ever seen or heard of Gold Eagle.John Learalso asked me if I had ever heard of Gold Eagle. He too was testing me. They knew that I had access to correct information and were attempting to determine if I were one of them. AsGeorge Bushwould say, ’Read my lips.’ I was never one of you. I will NEVER be one of you.

“When I talked toStan Deyoin Australia by phone, he told me the code given to him was ’Blue Falcon.’Stanwas a victim of mind-control experimentation while a cadet at the Air Force Academy. He and over 80 other cadet mind-control subjects resigned from the academy in protest. He has been on crusade to discover the truth ever since.Stanhas written two excellent books, ’THE COSMIC CONSPIRACY,’ and ’THE VINDICATOR SCROLLS.’ I recommend you read them both.

“I THINK THATLINDA MOULTON HOWEMAY BE INNOCENT OF WITTING INVOLVEMENT.Lindain particular seems to have exercised extreme care in what she has presented to the public. Her research is excellent. I was impressed when she confided to me thatSgt. Richard Dotyof the Counterintelligence Division of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations had taken her into the Intelligence office atKirtland Air Force Basein New Mexico AND SHOWED HER THE EXACT SAME DOCUMENTS THAT I HAD SEEN WHILE IN THE NAVY. SHE EVEN SAW THE SAME INFORMATION ON THEKENNEDYASSASSINATION NAMINGGREERAS THE ASSASSIN.Ms. Howeis the only person in the world outside the intelligence community who knows the truth as I know it regardingOperation MAJORITY. She has exercised good judgment and great restraint in NOT revealing the contents of those documents to the public. It is for this reason that I believe that an attempt has been made to use her. Fortunately,Lindadid not fall off a turnip truck and she didn’t play the game. I recommend you read her book entitled ’

ALIEN HARVEST’. You should be able to order it from any good bookstore.

“I have discovered thatWhitley Strieberis aCIA asset, as isBudd Hopkins.Strieber’s book ’MAJESTIC’ has convicted him with those of us IN THE KNOW. It is the true story of theRoswell crashtaken from the confiscated diaries ofJames Forrestal. That is, assuming that the documents that I saw in the Navy were not a hoax. I do not believe that they were. The names of people and names of projects and operations have been changed inStrieber’s book, but other than that the information and documentation is true. The autopsy reports are exactly the same that I saw in

Project GRUDGE18 years ago.

(Note: This may tie-in with the fact that many “bases” are JOINTLY occupied by saurian-grays and implanted-controlled CIA personnel. In other words, the “Intruders” have apparently infiltrated the CIA to some extent through implantation, etc. and are using the CIA to paint a “benevolent” picture of the “aliens”, even if they have to use MALEVOLENT means to do it. – Branton)

“I know that all of the majorUFOresearch organizations were targeted for infiltration and control by

the Secret Government, just asNICAPwas infiltrated and controlled. In fact,NICAPwas eventually destroyed from within. I know that these efforts have been successful.

“MUFONis a great example. Hundreds of members all over the world conduct investigations and send in physical evidence toMUFONheadquarters, where it quickly disappears. Everyone screams for physical evidence as proof. Recently samples were collected of a liquid that had dripped from a saucer onto a schoolyard inGulf Breeze, Florida. The samples were sent toMUFON, WHERE THEY IMMEDIATELY VANISHED.Walt Andrushas stated that it was an accident. BALONEY! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME ’MUFON’ HAS ’LOST’ EVIDENCE. I CONSIDER ’MUFON’ THE GREAT BLACK HOLE OF THE UFO COMMUNITY. THE CONTROL OF INFORMATION IS SO TIGHT THAT NOTHING ESCAPES. Anyone who tells it like it really is, is debunked and barred from symposiums. The members are told what to believe and what not to believe. The members of theMUFONboard of directorsand the members of the advisory board of consultants are for the most part supported by the Government in the form of salaries, grants, or retirement checks. Who can believe that this does not constitute a conflict of interest? WHO CAN INVESTIGATE AND EXPOSE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM?

(Note: “Feeds” them, that is, with OUR tax dollars. The “government” which we refer to here is not so much the “elected constitutional” government which is NECESSARY for the stability of this nation and who are sworn to defend the constitution; but the NON-ELECTED self-styled “secret” government elite who make up their own rules. – Branton)

“How can you possibly believe the ’Government’ could not control the people to whom it funnels money? MONEY IS THE BASIC METHOD OF CONTROL.

(As the Bible says: “The LOVE of money is the root of ALL EVIL!” – Branton)
