Funny, I posted the article, Vorticular Madness Of The Dark Magicians and this is what he had to say about it,
" mostly dumb-down bs, like claiming that the Space Shuttle fraud required the services of a Eugen Sänger, no actual discussion of our Cis-Lunar and greater Mars MIC-infrastructure. Anyone here friends with Richard Sauder? someone should tell him about spaceplanes and to update his spiel by half a century ...".
He however didn't deny anything else specifically. That was really about the extent of his commentary on that article.
He's interesting alright.
The Space Plane Equation Revisited
by Millennium Twain on Wednesday, November 9, 2011
https://www.facebook.com/notes/millennium-twain/the-spaceplane-equation-revisited-/10150389674089525
(tons of pictures, equations and drawings on the site)
Today I can acknowledge that it was, is, my fault. I am the one to blame, no one else.
I was an (ignorant, juvenile, clueless) leader. It was my responsibility, and I failed.
Yes, I could argue. Argue that I didn't have the social upbringing, the education in social refinement, the political wisdom.
I could even argue that 'history' wasn't ready. The world wasn't ready for global, or personal, fusion/integrity.
Yes, again, I could use the excuse that I was physically ill, with candida and coccidio, and thus mentally/intellectually diminished/incapable, during the decade of the 1980s.
I could blame Carolyn Meinel, Keith Henson, Gerry O'Neil. I could blame Barbara Hubbard, Robert Heinlein, Mark Hopkins, Max Hunter, Gary & Anne Hudson, Ida Hoos, Forrest Mozer, Ross & Jess Millikan, David Brandt Erichsen, Gordon Woodcock, Edward Gomersall, Eric Laursen, Chris McKay, Stan Kent, Steve Durst -- blame them and a thousand other of my closest L5, Space Frontier Society, UC Space Working Group, and California Space Program et al buddies, colleagues, co-workers.
I know now that I was an ignorant child, and I also know that none of our senior, mentor, guides in the L5 Society, the Space Movement in general, were naive. I assumed that the young professionals I was working and networking with had the same vision I thought I had: that of serving our global family through our expansion to the planets and the stars. In 1982, when I wrote the California legislation calling for the US Space Station Program (when President Reagan, from California, was in office) I only knew that 13 years earlier another California lobbyist had written legislation in California calling for the US Space Shuttle Program (when Nixon, from California, was President, and Reagan was California Governor.) I knew then, in 1982, that the Space Station Program should be a 'shoe-in', given the overwhelming dominance of California in the Aerospace industry.
Being, again, an idiot savant, an unsocialized country bumpkin immersed in a couple decades of science fiction and matrix-media programming, it never occurred to me to ask "Why the (trivial, three decades behind western Aerospace technology) 'Space Shuttle Program' took twelve years to put into operation?" It obviously hadn't yet dawned on me that the whole of NASA itself, the Apollo program, all, was a total farce, a DisInfo Operation, to distract the world from the Black-Budget-Government and Blue-Budget-Corporate-Nuclear-Aerospace-Military Space programs which had been flying to orbit for decades. In 1982 we were only just finding out that the Space Shuttle would actually NEVER be flying on a daily basis, and never for the millions-of-dollar per launch advertised costs, several times ACTUAL orbital-access costs. We HADN'T yet realized that the whole of the fraudulent program was inflating it's charges ('costs') by a factor of a thousand, to a BILLION dollars per flight, while charging thousands of (fraudulent, inflated) dollars (eventually tens of thousands) per pound of payload conveyed to orbit.
[The Shuttle Challenger was still 3-plus years from being exploded, and the L5 Society from being disbanded, 'merged' into Von Braun's National Space Institute, and it was still a year before Max Hunter (Lockheed VP) put me wise as to the irrelevance of my 'Space Station Program', before Edward Gomersall (NASA Ames Deputy Director) pulled the Saenger-Bredt Spaceplane artwork out of his safe to explain it all to me. (Six years before, on his deathbed, Gomersall 'donated' a copy of the USAF Orbital Trajectories Pilot's Flight Book, 1960 edition, to our adolescent-conceived California Space Program.)]
The 'Space Movement' spent the 1980s arguing about Aerospace Plane vs Vertical TakeOff & Landing Single Stage to Orbit vs Electromagnetic Launchers vs Big Dumb Launchers etc. etc., pretending to ourselves, for the benefit of our aerospace guild 'handlers', that somehow the gov't and military industrial complex were honest, just 'overcharging' (and under-flying) by a factor of a thousand, or of ten thousand, out of incompetence, bad accounting, or drug-induced stupor.
It didn't occur to we 'wee' children, until 1986, that we had all been taken for a covert (blue & black) aerospace industry owned government-ride, just like Vietnam again, just like Air-America's world opium operation, just like our CIA's South American cocaine cartel, Rockefeller's continent-wide 'banana-plantation' slave dominion.
Now we were 'wised' up -- a few years, and decades of Intel, older. We could now look back in amazement at the perverse 'wonder' of 'it' all. The 'Thingy' as Jo Rawlin's named 'it'. And we had been zombie fools, brought up in the (blue & black) arms of that Thingy.
There were two (2) physics truths taught to every new member of the L5 Society, for those that didn't already know:
1) the Lagrange points, orbits, L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 were regions between and around the Earth and the Moon where a body, an asteroid, or a space city would remain in relative stability, again with respect to the Earth and Moon.
2) Space was, is, a VELOCITY, an orbit. Not an altitude. It is a measurement, embodiment, realization of Delta Vee, ?V, acceleration. [Your admission to the realm of velocity, electicity, the plasma realm of 'space'] Despite the bs/propaganda of the United Nations decree, space orbits, velocities, never would be, and never could be, an altitude, a height. Thus, as every student of physics or orbital mechanics knows, sending a rocket or an aircraft up, to 50 miles or five hundred, does NOT result in achievement of orbit, placement into space. As soon as you run out of thrust you will fall back to the Earth. Achievement of Earth orbit is through the horizontal, not vertical, acceleration to Mach 25, 25 times the Speed of Sound, 8 km/sec. (Mach 1, the Speed of Sound, equals 0.33 km/sec, 1/3 km/sec.) Only NASA's idiot public consumer clone cattle would ever 'think' (moo) differently. And, yes, Space (electric orbital velocity, the plasma realm) is a Vector, requiring the correct magnitude AND direction of the 'speed'. [Try that question out on the runaway 'shopping-cart drivers' in your neighborhood ...]
Thus ?V, Delta Vee, and the Plasma (Electric) Mother-Verse became the insights and buzzwords of the space society 'insiders'. Stan Kent sailed the 'high frontier' seas of Chucky Cheese's Pizza Parlors -- Mark Hopkins took over the reins of guiding the aerospace industry 'Space Station Lobby' -- Gary Hudson built expendable launch vehicles -- George Koopman and Jim Bennett did the hybrids -- Steve Durst printed the newsletters -- the Roth brothers and I paraded our Electromagnetic Launcher business plans --
And here we are today, now -- a whole world, youth and elders, waking up to the same truth, of our 2011 Totality of World Culture, Personality -- now, after 60-70 years of Global Dominion by the California-&-US-based Nuclear Aerospace Mobster Industrial / Intelligence 'Complex' (MIC), the infamous 'Baby-Boom', wherein 5 percent of the world's population feasted on fifty percent of the resources, taken at nuclear-aerospace gun-point -- asking ourselves, "What now?"
Understanding, now, that the GE-Westinghouse-Pratt&Whitney-McDonnell-Douglas-Lockheed-Boeing-UTC-L3-TRW-Hughes-Northrup-Gruman-Martin-Marietta-Rockwell-Rocketdyne Rockefeller Mobster has run the world for the last half-a-century. Admitting to them -- the old boys, as they are standing right next to me and run this town, run this county, run California, run North America -- admitting that yes, "somebody had to bring the World together, somebody had and has to run it" -- but, speaking honestly, with integrity, that someone, today, now, has to be EVERYONE, the whole World, All cultures, All peoples -- openly, publicly, 'voluntaristicly'. It has to be managed to end violence, end war, end wanton consumption, end wanton procreation, end inequality, and thus increase our economy tenfold. It has to be managed to return the rivers & wetlands, return the forests and rainforests so as to expand that economic upturn from tenfold to a hundredfold.
Looking down from the mountain-top of this, the 21st Century, looking down from the "HIgh Ground of Space" -- after 60 years of orbital spaceplane flight history, lunar & interplanetary flight and military buildup, with an in-situ population of 500,000 to 700,000 prisoners and personnel (the best public numbers we have as of this writing) -- what 'culture' do we see? Whom is it that MIC wants to protect, bloat, isolate, insulate? What happiness, evolution, refinement does a western white patriarchal monoculture derive from maintaining it's own (in-situ) population in servitude and ignorance, and what benefit does it derive from exclusion of the hundred-fold greater intelligence/perspective of World-culture? None. It only retards/diminishes itself, and all of human evolution.
44 years ago, in 1967, Max Hunter of Lockheed publicly released his paper "Commercial Space Transportation Possibilities" pointing out that, as every student of the rocket equation knew, that delivery costs to low Earth orbit were only a few dollars per pound. Two decades later, Gordon Woodcock (Boeing) publicly released his paper "Lower Bounds on Launch Costs", again making it clear that delivery costs to LEO were only of the order of a few dollars per pound of personnel or payload.

Again, "Why did we do it?" What did we get for our prolonged infancy, lunacy -- supplanting consciousness with entertainment and programming; ethics and wisdom with politics, money-and-power seeking? Stan Kent (left) and his "Delta Vee" organization never (to my knowledge) pushed for a release of the (Corporate) Blue spaceplane designs and missions from the 1950s and 1960s ...
How could he, any more than I, ask the truth of an aerospace military industry organization which we, as youths, had only skirted the edges of? To this day I don't recall I ever met one honest person in my entire career in aerospace, and only a handful of (relatively) honest physicists (amongst the hundreds I have interacted with, thousands I have reviewed); almost no honest corporate scientists, engineers or managers who moved from ethics and enlightenment rather than being driven, guided, by money, power and politics. Where were we to find ANY good examples, mentors, in California of all places, the "fat, dumb and happy" hands-down world power/control center for the World Aerospace Dominion? Certainly none in Washington State, in Colorado, in Connecticut, in New York, in Utah, in Texas, in Florida, in Virginia ... in Washington DC!
I was still in my twenties at that time, when I wrote the Space Station legislation. Only a few years earlier I had graduated from being a math, physics, chemistry and electronics aide and tutor at COS, receiving a scholarship to UC Berkeley, and landing on the doorstep of the Space Sciences Laboratory in 1975 volunteering to help solder together circuit-boards for the S3-3 Air Force Satellite, and write simple fortran routines for downloading electric probe data from existing ionospheric satellites. It would be twenty years before I would discover the superluminal lightwave topology of the proton, twenty-five before I would do the rocket equations for myself (give up relying on the hand-me-down disinfo from my 'rocket science' teachers), then publish the original "Spaceplane Equation", before finally publishing the structure of the atomic nucleus and seeing the whole of my FireShips Pty Ltd office, library, and lab stolen by the ('Intelligence') powers that be. [Year 2001 'Aeros" X49 Scramjet (Hyperjet, Plasmajet) design below.]
1975 brings to mind one of the very VERY few physicists of integrity I met along the way. Professor John Christ at College of the Siskiyous. When I learned physics and electronics from Professor Christ (pronounced with a 'short' i) it was always experientially and observationally based. Thus mass, force, velocity, inertia, acceleration -- charge, current, voltage, resistance, impedance -- coils, capacitors, transformers, motors, transistors -- all echoed the Songline of our experience. I recall the last, and most revealing, lesson I learned from Professor Christ. Before l left, he made a gift to me of a Quantum Mechanics textbook, which I would need at UC, apologizing to me as he did so, in words and expression. It didn't take me long to find out why -- as there was no phenomena, no physics, in the book! [I returned it to him the next day, shrugging my shoulders in my untutored country-boy way of saying "nothing here of interest to me."]
I guess that is why we have Hollywood, why the sugar and the gravy is piled on so thick for the public sector underclass of our California- and US- Military Aerospace Complex economy -- to maintain the drugged-mindedness of the cattle. Obviously it didn't make any difference in my consciousness simply 'knowing' the truth of the science, technology and economics of Aerospace Plane flight -- and of the Nuclear Aerospace Military hegemony running the world, making our/their wars against China, Korea, Vietnam, the whole of Asia, Africa, Latin America -- the newspapers, the television, the schools, our families, our universities, our employers, ALL sounded, spoke, enrolled us in the Black Mobster Speak, the Brave New World Order Speak, the Newspeak, of the NASA frauds, the Apollo fraud, the Space Shuttle fraud. And I never had any ability to stand up for the truth, no 'mind' to do so with. We were ALL dipped in its chocolate-soma like Santa Claus in Macy's, by the Pastor and Choir in every church, by our sisters, brothers, friends, neighbors, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents -- one big mindless Christmas pudding blog, borg.
And the entirety of the 'Space Movement' of the seventies and eighties? Did colleagues like Mark Hopkins, left, having attended 'a' Harvard University, have a greater or insider awareness why the 'California Space Cattle' were being driven, rather than educated, awakened, empowered to connect our world, heal our planet? As this NSS puff piece below shows one-third of the US Space Activist Community were centered in California, where the industry was. Another full third was located in Washington DC, where our handlers were ...
Space Group Boom and the California Phenomenon
Is our 'Sky' Blue, or merely 'light' Black?
Were, are, we all members of a gray world, One Shadow world, the $pook world? Victims of the California-Unconsciousness 'gravy-training'? Enslaved in the Security State "Chain of Command" also known as 'British Admiralty Law'. Willing Rockefeller-U$-serfs, under a more-than-willing Crown Rothschild Mobster-Monarchy (patriachy-pecking) order?
$hall we "wax covert poetic"? ('Peer Politic, ?ormalistic'?)
And why is ?oody ?llen crying?
Does Barbara Marx Hubbard hold the ?eys to the 'Sly-Sky Kingdom'? The 'Spook-Easy'? The Beltway Bandits Club, the Washington DC Masonic Lodge, the California Church of the New (Whirled) 'UFO DisInfoClosure' Odor?

I met Gary & Anne Hudson at a Delta Vee party, a decade before I worked with them at Pacific American Launch Systems, and on the SkyRocket Spaceplane project, 1990. The VERY inexpensive Sky Rocket project (financed by Tom Clancy) had to be scrapped, as it showed the world that any California amateur 'epoxy and fiberglass' aircraft builder could layup an airframe, and add off-the-shelf Pratt & Whitney RL10 rocket engines, and have a rocketplane. Build it to larger airline scale and it would be big and dragfree enough to accelerate to Mach 25, to Orbit -- a low cost Spaceplane for the WHOLE World!
Six years later, our L5 and SciFi and Space Activist buddies got together to launch the X-Prize Foundation. [I would NOT participate in the misanthrope, whose purpose was to focus the world with a $10 Million prize on building fraudulent non-'Spaceships' going to 100 miles altitude, and NEVER the (real, and trivial) designs which accelerated to Mach 25, which went to orbit, which ended the covert hegemony of the California Aerospace World Dominion. The Mobster 'MIC' which would NEVER allow our world to come together as ONE culture of truth and collaboration.]
Gary Hudson, Bevin McKinney, James Grote and others of my rocket and university buddies had to accept (large) financing, again in 1996, for something that in NO WAY WOULD GO TO SPACE, and would in NO WAY BE INEXPENSIVE. Thus was born the Roton Project and Rotary Rocket Company, guided by our own aerospace mentor, Max Hunter of DC-X fame. [Once again, I dropped out of the project when it was clear what the (in my mind) less-than-honest (less-than-above-board?, subrosa? sub-orbita?) intentions were.]

'Kind' of a Drag? ALL Kinds of Drag!
The tears of "Sleeper" Woody Allen for a Corporate Mob$ter $tate which has erased all truth and reason have come full circle in 2011. When the trivial, miniscule, nothing Space Shuttle trash has been discontinued -- with NO FORTHCOMING PUBLIC RELEASE of the thousand-times greater operational SPACEPLANE FLEETS of the Military Aerospace Complex!
Welcome to 'HollyWorld 2011' and the bathroom comedies of the Burt Rutans, Richard Bransons, Scaled Composites, Virgin Galactics, Armadillos, Blue Origins, Bigelows, Xcors -- with the world deceptions of their small, fat, clunky so-called 'SpaceShips, which aren't even up to low drag aeroshell design knowledge of a hundred years ago, let alone for flight to orbit, flight to Mach 25! [To maintain the fictions of the European, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and other fraudulent space programs, and encourage similar fictions for every Bankster-Nation-$tate on the planet. To bankrupt, and thus continue Aerospace-Bankster ownership of, a murdered planet.] No one from the million times larger and more powerful Aerospace-Bankster MIC, in a hundred years, would ever have been so drunken-silly as to buy into these consumer cattle cointel toilet jokes (unless they supported the global deception, rapacity):

It had, indeed, seemed an adolescent's summer daydream: in 1976 when Ross Millikan took me over to meet David Brandt-Erichsen, for a meeting of the newly founded East Bay L5 Chapter; in 1977, on sabbatical at Harvard and MIT, meeting Gerry O'Neil, Henry Kolm, Eric Drexler, and joining an L5 lobbying excursion in Washington DC, meeting Barbara Hubbard and others; back at Space Sciences in 1978, spending every other day reconnoitering around Silicon Valley, picking up satellite chassis and circuit boards for the ISEE-3 spaceprobe, later renamed ICE; founding the UC Space Working Group in 1979, with Richard Deck, Gary Noreen, John Oldson, Judson Hewitt, Larry Willams and others; invited to UNISPACE in Vienna, where I met Arthur Clarke and an expanding world of space scholars, scientists, engineers, 'activists'; launching of the Space Frontier Society, in 1980, and the California Space Program, with Chris McKay, Barbara McQuiston, Ethan Cliffton, Betty Walton, Brad Huss and others, in 1981 or 1982; all those years studying (supposed) Rocket Science under Edward Gomersall, Rudi Beichel, Gary Hudson, Philip Bono, Robert Salkeld, Dietrich Koelle, Krafft Ehricke, Max Hunter ...
In the whole San Francisco Bay Area, of course, the center of it all, there was ten times more 'Space Action' going on, from annual Space Days we had to organize, the other L5 and AAS and AIAA chapters, the Hypatia Cluster, Progressive Space Forum, Space Alliance, Northern California Space Caucus, I'm not going to remember a fraction of the groups or meetings and activities; the constant shuttling, again, back and forth to Southern California OASIS, Andromeda Society, Planetary Society and other space group meetings, attendance at Shuttle launches and landings, the NASA Ames and JPL Voyager spacecraft mission 'video-science' celebrations; my work in John Glenn's presidential campaign, and on Jerry Brown's US Senate campaign. And a hundred times more going on worldwide, hundreds of space groups popping up, I lost count of the number of 'chapters', maybe 50, of my Space Frontier Society that launched themselves worldwide. We all moved at a breathless pace, in some kind of a global 'adolescent' hormonal madness. Without total sobriety, and economic security, which some of us possessed, without honest mentors, without an upper class aristocratic or international multicultural family indoctrination, brought up in the public school (serf-programming) system, what chance had we, short of total fasting and enlightenment, of getting even a glimpse of sanity, clarity, truth?
And then the Mobsters blew up the $pace $huttle, and Christa McAuliffe. Now, I am sure, you begin to feel what we all felt. Crying in the streets, in our offices, at Space Age Publishing Company. And now we finally understood the Mon$ter, understood the rea$on for the decades of being put off, treated like children, $laves; our lives, our truth, our integrity, our destinies, denied.

Let me take you back to those times. I was the writer/editor for Space Daily, in Santa Clara, in Silicon Valley. No one else wanted to do it, no one else could. Imagine, every day having to read and research, make all the telephone calls, line up all the interviews, solicit all the business plans and research reports, search through all the Stanford tech libraries, and write several stories, find the photos and illustrations, do the proofing, do the lay-up, do the printing, do the folding and stuffing and mailing, do the electronic translation and uploading online, for a 5-8 page daily space industry insider chronicle? I usually had 1-2 part-time helpers, but they would be busy with the weekly Space Calendar and other duties, and no one had my background, my lack of political correctness, or my passion for writing, educating, awakening.
Let's go back five years earlier. The scene is 1981, CalTech, the Planetfest. A BIG, celestially-beautiful, conference room had been set up for us. With one LONG table, suitable for several Camelot sets. Our political handlers in DC had been busy. A subterfuge had been contrived, to subsume the whole of the California and US space movement under the patriarchal provincial (some would say Nazi fascist) legacy of Von Braun and the National Space Club. A National 'Coordinating' Committee for Space was set up, and all us wee-obediant space movement groups 'Nation' wide would be granted a 'seat' on it. I can't remember if I was allowed to represent one, or two, or three groups, but I showed up with perhaps the 'star' of the Space groups of the time, a representative of the 'dazzling' Hypatia Cluster. There must have been 20-30 of our friends and colleagues seated around the table, each representing one California space group. Surprise, we were NOT there to talk, or compose a statement of purpose and mission. We were here to sign on to one fraud, fait accompli, already composed for us. I balked. The language was all to line us up behind the Aerospace MIC, all space industry (manufacturing, development, slave settlement) -- with no space 'education' component allowed. I balked, and (Korean vet) Science Fiction heavyweight Jerry Pournelle, thundered at me. I rejoined. Jerry hurled his lightning bolts.
We all shifted back in our chairs. Hal (lawyer, diplomat) Harold White, entered the fray. Jerry and I should retire to another room for a conference in order to sort this 'thing' out. Hal shepherded us. Jerry sat in the room, fuming. I watched in curiosity. Hal implored me to apologise to Jerry. Not Jerry apologise to me. Not Jerry apologise to all of us. [Can't recall at the moment exactly how it turned out. I THINK I apologised, and I THINK somehow, after returning to the Round Table, that I managed to sustain that modest amendment to our document of servitude. It didn't matter obviously; no space group I have ever been a part of, or heard of in a hundred years, has stood up to brother MIC and told the truth, let alone stood him down. Infinite money, infinite power, infinite subtlety, infinite Rome always 'wins', until it falls. Witness how, today, it is done for us under their 'Obama-Bush' facade. Several TRILLION dollars per year given to MIC and the Banksters. The opposition receives a few Billions (along with the debt note on the Trillions!) and line up to bow and scrape, and lick their Jackboots and re-elect them.]
Twenty years later we were all hopefully expecting a 'Millennium' shift. In January of 2000, I founded FireShips Pty Ltd, in New Zealand. Our press releases, our publicity campaign was heard worldwide. I hosted over a hundred local radio shows, published 50-60 articles in their Nexus magazine on Spaceplane Design, Nuclear Structure, on Covert World Physics and Aerospace; produced a dozen TV spots which aired daily, over and over again. I was interviewed live by radio stations worldwide, featured in many New Zealand magazines and newspapers. When Rockefeller's 9/11 'Market Short Op' went down, I was already on record, worldwide on the internet, sharing the details of the $50 Trillion leveraged takeover of the US economy, and their renewed global campaign of genocide.
The Mob$ter just walked in and took everything; FireShips library, office, studio, shop -- every book, every video, file, notebook, personal journal, instrument, tool. [They were not harsh, always kind and friendly, but not to be dissuaded. One of our FireShips team friends, I recall, an innovative Kiwi aircraft engineer, was offered residency in the United States. The price? Signing on with the U$ Air Force. He declined the honour.] I was able to save only one box of my books and files, and all my X49 design disks I had backed up as a contingency. Fortunately ALL my physics had been circulated on the web, and archived by friends planetwide, so there was no significant loss to the world, to the future, to history. [Better said 'Herstory', history's ending!] I set up again in Santa Monica, and spent a year in Japan where we did more press releases, held a press conference, presented our X49 design at the Japan Near-Future Technology Exhibition, circulated 10,000 FireShips artcards worldwide.
How did Ida, my thesis advisor Dr. Hoos (Dr. Who?) put it? She, as far as I knew, was never invited into the MIC board-rooms, into the Blue "up-above", as C.J. Cherryh named it. Nor onto the estates of their/our owners, the Rockefellers inter alia. But she did frequent the, it was her job to chronicle, our Black-sector Committees on Capitol-Hill, in Congress, where, as she always repeated, "The 'Eyes' have it." The Intelligence Agencies, 'agent-eyes', in orbit, who rule the roost. Max Hunter's 'High Ground' of 'Outer Space' ...
Ida Russakoff Hoos, at the University of California Space Sciences Lab, was the 'Systems' favorite critic of 'Systems Analysis' ('Systems Engineering' aka Aerospace Engineering) aka the reborn-Nazi regime named MIC, whose figurehead was Wernher von Braun and the Peeneumunde Rocket Team, relocated to North America. World-Ruling MIC, "Our (Nuclear-Intelligence-Mobster) Eyes in the Sky."
and the immortal SpacePlane Equation, solicited by Science Editor Jonathan Leake, by the Times of London, a decade ago? whence did it come from? what does it mean? how did it come to be written Down-Under, in Aotearoa, in New Zealand?
Well, recall that until 1997 I still worked with Gary Hudson and HMX, before I left the Roton Project and moved to New Zealand, and eventually Japan. Twenty-five years a STUDENT of space science, of rocket science, I hadn't yet stood on my own feet and checked the veracity of the their 'Rocket Equations', though I knew their politics well. I had, from 1989 to 1997, done my math in physics, evaluating the foundations of that covert institution, and had revealed all the frauds of 'quantum' physics, 'particle' physics, 'nuclear' physics, their cosmologies, all 'physics', ad nauseum -- had published the truth of the standing lightwave topology of the electron -- of the creation and origins of mass, charge, energy, space, and time -- had published the truth of the superluminal (toroidal) standing lightwave topology of the proton -- etc. etc. -- had not yet published the Structure of the Atomic Nucleus (2001).
It wasn't until a year after arriving in Aotearoa, Land of the Long White Cloud, that, working on Starship designs, working on SpacePlane designs, I took apart the covert Rocket Equation, showed up its fraud, its facade, and began to derive the actual 'mass-fraction' et al equations for SpacePlane flight, for accelerating an aeroshell through the atmosphere to Mach 25, to orbit.
And here, after speaking with Jonathan, from New Zealand to London, the stage, the audience, the setting, the allegory, my metaphor for SpacePlane flight became clear -- those of us sitting in our seats on International Airflights, on Airliners, in particular on those LONG, 10-20 hour, Intercontinental Flights.
How much time, money, fuel is wasted on a 10-20 hour flight -- intentionally flying at LOW thrust -- intentionally burning extra fuel, staying LOW in the HIGH-drag HIGH-resistance atmosphere -- when, with normal 1g, one gravity, acceleration we would be in orbit in 15 minutes! Would arrive at any airport in the world in less than 2 hours! [Compare the Supersonic French Concorde fraud which took many times longer than required by the SpacePlanes.]
Was it merely a factor of two (2) increase in cost, in fuel use, to travel around the globe in 10-20 hours? Or a factor of five (5), ten (10)?
If this, if the SpacePlane Equation were publicized, every intercontinental air passenger from now until forever, now until the fall of Rome, of MIC, would be talking about this, and calculating it, and demanding it, on every flight, every day!
What determines the L/D ratio, the Lift-to-Drag of an aircraft's aeroshell? Why were the fraud's of the Apollo program, the Shuttle program, designed with high drags and low L/Ds? Not designed aerodynamically, but rather designed with surface features and textures which would heat up and destroy the vehicles -- burn up Christa McAuliffes from here until 'Kingdom Come' (down.) Frauds designed by 'NASA von Braun' et al to re-enter ballistically in 4-5 minutes, thereby incurring ten-twenty times more heating than a 'cool-blue' Spaceplane which takes 50-100 minutes to return from orbit?
So, again, I am, you are, sitting in your seat in a Boeing 747 on your way from London to Auckland, it is a twenty-four hour flight, you have LOTS of time. You get out a pen and pad, and start making a list of the many many ways you could turn an economic and streamlined Spaceplane into this joke of an airliner, or the dungbomb of the Space Shuttle. L/D, Lift/Drag, is dependent on many variables. The mass, speed, altitude, and velocity of the vehicle; the size, shape (and augments) and surface texture of the aeroshell. The 'Space Shuttle', known as the "Flying Brick", had an L/D of 4. "The (Canceled) Comedy of the Concorde" SST (Supersonic Transport) an L/D of 7. Airliners have L/D ratios in the mid-teens, for the 747 it is 17. L/D for the new Boeing 787-8 will be 21; the new Boeing 797 Blended Wing Body, 23-25; the U2 spyplane had an L/D of 28. The X49 Spaceplane aeroshells, without active drag-negation or PlasmaShell-thrust systems, have L/Ds of 30-40, depending on the material surface and aeroshell wave-feature 'sculpting'.
Google Airliner, "Maximum Takeoff Weight" and "Maximum Thrust", from your laptop, on the airliner, on your flight to Auckland.
Here's one: Boeing 747 Specifications
Boeing 747-8: L/D Ratio -- 16.58, Cruise Speed -- Mach 0.85, Maximum Takeoff Weight -- 435,449 kg, Maximum Thrust -- 4 Engines at 30,164 kg each, Total 120,656 kg
Maximum Thrust 120,656 kg divided by Maximum Takeoff Weight 435,449 kg equals 0.277 g. [Meaning 1/4 gravity acceleration during Takeoff.]
from the SpacePlane Equation above L/D X T/W = 17 x 1/4 = 4.25. Acceleration several times the 'No Acceleration' factor of 1. Enough to take us to orbit in an hour or so, but not a full 1 g of acceleration, not achieving orbit in 15 minutes, 1000 seconds. It does give us, however, a very modest fuel-cost savings factor of about 24/1 divided by 17 = 1.4. A savings of 29 percent.
If we use Spaceplane engines, scramjet engines or a mix of jet and rocket engines, instead we could accelerate at one gravity, 1 g, all the way. Our T/W would then equal 1, and our L/D X T/W = 17 x 1 = 17. And a fuel-cost savings factor of about 24/0.25 divided by 17 = 5.6. A fuel cost savings of 82 percent per flight.
And achievement of orbit, a meeting with Big (Blue, Sky, Father, Uncle) Brother, in 1000 seconds, 15 minutes ...

Catherine Austin Fitts
The Daily Bell is pleased to publish an interview with financial advisor Catherine Austin Fitts (left).
Introduction: Catherine is the president of Solari, Inc., publisher of The Solari Report, and managing member of Solari Investment Advisory Services, LLC and Sea Lane Advisory, LLC. Catherine served as managing director and member of the board of directors of the Wall Street investment bank Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration, and was the president of Hamilton Securities Group, Inc. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (BA), the Wharton School (MBA) and studied Mandarin Chinese at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Daily Bell: For those who don't know, give us a rundown of your current business and economic preoccupations.
Catherine Austin Fitts: I publish the Solari Report (http://solari.com), a private bridge call and blog focused on building personal and family wealth. I also provide investment advisory services through Solari Investment Advisory Services LLC (http://solariadvisors.com) and Sea Lane Advisory LLC (http://sealaneadvisory.com)
Daily Bell: Give us a sense of your background and childhood.
Catherine Austin Fitts: I grew up in Philadelphia in the United States. As a child, I witnessed the destruction of wealth by networks engaged in organized crime and financial fraud and the covert operations that supported them. It started a life-long fascination with understanding how money and the financial system work, including in places, and how healthy cultures could prevail.
My mother was an economist who retired from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve to have children. My father was a surgeon and trauma expert who loved caring for people. I watched them struggle with the growing corruption as it ultimately tore our family apart.
I traveled around the world during college, studying Mandarin in Hong Kong, and then graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and received an MBA at Wharton. After graduation, I went to work at Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., a small Wall Street investment bank that is now a part of UBS. I chose Dillon Read as the firm offered me a chance to work in many different areas. I kept moving from one area and type of work to another, trying to understand different parts of the economy and financial system.
Dillon had a tradition of public service. After I became a managing director and member of the board, we sold the firm and after our initial employment contracts ended, numerous members of the firm joined the Bush Administration. I did as well, becoming Assistant Secretary of Housing – Federal Housing Commissioner in 1989. After serving in the Bush Administration for 18 months, and deeply disturbed by the mortgage fraud, I left and started an investment bank, Hamilton Securities Group. My hope was to use software technology and the Internet to help decentralize the capital raising process in a manner that could, in combination with government reengineering, revive the US economy and improve pension fund returns as globalization was shifting significant employment and income abroad.
Decentralizing the economy in a manner that grows decentralized equity ownership was not the direction taken by Washington and Wall Street. Instead, the strong dollar policy was instituted and a debt bubble, led by a global housing debt bubble, financed enormous shifts of capital globally in a manner that aggressively centralized political and economic control. I have described this process as a "financial coup d'état." (See http://solari.com/blog/financial-coup-d'etat/).
To help facilitate the US housing bubble, the federal government targeted Hamilton. I spent eleven years engaged in litigation. This process forced me to research the US black budget, including related organized crime and financial fraud both domestically and globally.
I have described these events in detail in writings available online. (See the links at http://www.dunwalke.com/gideon/, including the link to my online book: Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. & the Aristocracy of Stock Profits, http://www.dunwalke.com/).
During that time, I had a number of private families request my assistance in protecting their assets from the risks created by the changes underway. I found that I very much liked helping individuals and families directly. Consequently, after completing the litigation, I started Solari Investment Advisory Services.
I had a number of my clients in funds managed offshore. After Dodd Frank, the funds were returned to US investors and I started Sea Lane Advisory with my partner Chuck Gibson of Financial Perspectives in the San Francisco Bay area to provide an alternative.
Daily Bell: Are things getting better or worse from a corruption and freedom standpoint in the US?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Things are getting worse. On a positive note, there are some advantages to have the "beast" come out of the closet.
Daily Bell: Give us a summary of your perspective regarding Wall Street – and what happened to you in a little more detail.
Catherine Austin Fitts: I think Wall Street is the pit bull, not the master. The $64,000 question is, of course, who is really in charge and why are they behaving this way?
I have had the opportunity to operate at high levels in Washington and Wall Street and have never met a person who did not function as if they were a prisoner of the system. Often, that "system" did not permit them to function on a lawful basis. This implies highly centralized governance if this many people are functioning in an insecure, limited or unlawful way.
The people who manage our financial system are also operating with significant double binds. This is what I try to describe with my red button story:
"In the summer of 2000, I asked a group of 100 people at a conference of spiritually committed people who would push a red button if it would immediately stop all narcotics trafficking in their neighborhood, city, state and country. Out of 100 people, 99 said they would not push such red button. When surveyed, they said they did not want their mutual funds to go down if the U.S. financial system suddenly stopped attracting an estimated $500 billion - $1 trillion a year in global money laundering. They did not want their government checks jeopardized or their taxes raised because of resulting problems financing the federal government deficit."
So it is not appropriate to assume that the corruption is just at the top. Indeed, most citizens in the first world have been the economic beneficiary of what James Turk calls "the central banking-warfare model."
At the same time, we have all been limited by suppression or control of knowledge and technology that could significantly improve global living standards. The spiritual, environmental and cultural costs of this model are enormous.
What my experience helped me to understand is that we are governed by a group of people who have the power to kill, and otherwise break the law, with impunity. As the Secretary of HUD once said in my presence, "I don't have to obey the law, I report to a higher moral authority."
This power appears to come in part from the ability to use deeply invasive digital systems to gather intelligence, transact and monitor as well as from invisible weaponry, including satellites and weaponry controlled or delivered from space.
As Western countries move investment into the emerging markets, their satellites and military move to police this global investment. Investors do not invest where they cannot enforce. So in a sense, financial globalization is pressuring the United States to become a global military empire.
Daily Bell: Can Wall Street be cleaned up?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Of course it can. However, before it can, the question is: What is the investment and financial model that will replace the central banking-warfare model and how will it be implemented? Part of the economic warfare that is raging throughout the financial markets relates to the squabbles between the different countries and factions that want to come out on top. The greater the uncertainty about the model and the greater the change, the uglier the process will be.
Depending on the politics, market forces and new technology have the potential to significantly reduce Wall Street's market share in the global financial system.
Daily Bell: Is the SEC the regulator to do it?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Our society has integrated warfare with financial markets. So, for example, if we want to checkmate the Chinese, the oil price is driven up. Or when Treasury wanted to bubble the dollar, the gold price was suppressed. Yelling at the SEC or the CFTC to regulate more is not going to solve the problem. In a sense, to regulate in these markets you need the SEC to team up not only with the CFTC but also with DOD and ONI. And they need to coordinate with their counterparts around the world. And you need greater literacy in the investing public about how financial systems really work.
Our political class believes that dumbing people down and using controlled media, entrainment technology and subliminal programming to manipulate is the way forward. I am from the Winston Churchill school, "Tell the people." The greatest waste in our society is the broad-based intelligence that is not being unleashed because our markets are not truly free markets.
Clearly, the political class has been instructed to make sure they do not work.
Daily Bell: Does financial regulation work? Will more work better?
Catherine Austin Fitts: The Tao Te Ching says:
The more restrictions and prohibitions there are, the poorer the people become
The sharper the people's weapons are, the more national confusion increases?
The more skill artisans require, the more bizarre their products are?
The more precisely laws are articulated, the more thieves and outlaws increase
More laws or regulation will not address the underlying failure of enforcement and the need for a new investment model.
Daily Bell: Would markets be better off if they were MORE free and private watchdogs were allowed to take over from public ones?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Not necessarily. Again, we need to address the question, "Who is the breakaway civilization, what are their weaponry and surveillance systems and what systems will work successfully to shift their behavior in a positive manner?" This, of course, leads to additional questions, such as, "What do they know that we do not know and how would we behave if we had that knowledge?"
Setting private watchdogs to regulate these guys is a bit like landing on Normandy Beach with a water pistol.
This enforcement question is one of the reasons I focus on the power of transparency combined with individual intention and action to bring positive change.
A few regulators are an easy target. Millions of private citizens and investors shunning dirty players in the markets are not. Globally, they become a mighty force. However, that means that as a cultural matter the human race must become deeply committed to respecting everyone's individual rights, not just one's own.
Daily Bell: Are central banks responsible for much of the current chaos?
Catherine Austin Fitts: This takes us back to the central question – who is in charge and why are they behaving the way they are behaving? I don't think we know the answer to those questions.
Daily Bell: Would you like to see central banks shut down? Or do you think banks like the Fed ought to be nationalized, as Ms. Ellen Brown wants?
Catherine Austin Fitts: I agree that a Federal Reserve System under the ownership and control of the US government would better serve us in a system in which the information and clearance systems are owned, controlled and operated by government employees NOT by private defense contractors and where the rules regarding access to information are strictly observed and enforced.
Of course, that means we would have to return the Treasury and US agency information systems back to government employee management.
If you map out the information systems and databases at the US government, including at the Department of Justice, the SEC and the US Treasury, you will understand why I say that there has been a financial coup d'état. There has also been a financial data coup d'état.
During the hearings on Enron, I pointed out that the Department of Justice had not asserted control of Enron's documents. However, as the chairman's of Enron's finance committee was a key investor and board member in a company that was running information systems for the Department of Justice and the SEC, it would appear that Enron insiders had asserted control of the government's documents.
Can you imagine investigating someone who is a controlling investor in a company running the information systems for your enforcement division? How is that supposed to work?
Financial sovereignty requires information sovereignty.
Daily Bell: Let's switch gears. If the United States is an empire, will this century see another power rise to challenge it? China perhaps?
Catherine Austin Fitts: The greatest threat to US hegemony in Asia is Japan. Or at least it was Japan until Fukushima happened.
I don't underestimate the threat that Germany poses, particularly if we get a real split of the Anglo-American alliance from the continent as a result of the re-arrangements around the euro and Germany grows closer to Russia. Remember, one of the reasons that the European Union happened was that the rest of Europe, with bitter memories of WWI and WWII, wanted to integrate Germany into the whole of Europe.
China is formidable, but they are checkmated by the need to feed and employ such a large population.
Right now, the United States's lead in satellites, weaponry and control of the sea lanes makes it dominant. The question is how long that can continue if America itself devolves into a barbaric country. Force and technology alone do not result in greatness and the invasiveness of the model has become not just financially oppressive but deeply perverted.
As China is burdened with a large population, the United States has an aging population that is not prepared for the changes underway. How the US is going to manage their expectations and fund their retirement is an unanswered question.
Daily Bell: The invention of the Gutenberg Press was, in our opinion, the proximate cause, eventually, of the Thirty Years peasant war that raged across Europe – a war generated by an elite that had the most to lose from the Gutenberg Press's ability to bring literacy to the masses. Are we seeing a similar paradigm today?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes. Digital technology permits higher learning speeds generally. However, it also makes highly centralized management and manipulation possible, aka "the matrix."
Daily Bell: Is war necessary for those in charge of the US Empire to maintain control?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes. The US Empire is financially dependent on the violation of individual rights globally and access to cheap natural resources. This requires various forms of covert and economic warfare as well as overt military wars.
Daily Bell: Once the Empire topples, or as it does, will another take its place?
Catherine Austin Fitts: I do not assume that the Empire will topple. It has the ability to NOT topple. Whether it does or not is a political and military question – not an economic or financial question. The Empire's challenge is how to maintain liquidity without trust and how to maintain productivity without markets. It is trying to do too much with force and covert methods.
If it does topple, the competition to become the regional hegemons will accelerate and organized crime will move into the power vacuum.
As ugly as the Empire can be, there are uglier forces at work. Ask yourself: Does the Russian mafia have nuclear weapons? I assume so.
Daily Bell: What would be the result of more global centralization?
Catherine Austin Fitts: It would be more of the same – including increases in poverty, slavery and depopulation. Aaron Russo knew what he was talking about when he said warned us that these folks want spy chips in everyone and everything.
Daily Bell: Is a gold standard, or a gold and silver standard, the normal outcome of a peaceful, market-based society?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Not necessarily. Currency systems are part of governance systems. We should look at the currency question integrated into the question of who is going to govern and manage and in what process with what kinds of disclosure.
For example, there are many attractive features of a gold and silver standard. However, the ownership of precious metals is limited to a small group of the global population. If we suddenly adopt gold and silver as our currency standard, it will benefit a small group of people in a manner that could make things worse.
Nevertheless, I would far prefer that to a digital system working through the Internet and hand-held devices that allow all financial data to be centrally accessed and controlled.
Bottom line: Don't fall into the trap of proposing currency systems on a stand-alone basis. You want to know who is going to run things and with what processes and disclosure. Then you get into the aspects of the different financial tools that help us do that.
When I look at a company, the first thing I look at is the quality, experience and networks of the people who govern, manage and own it. It is the same with the global financial system. Without high quality people who are free to govern in the best interests of all concerned or as stated by law, charter and contract, there are no solutions. Put excellent people in charge throughout society and I assure you they can run things remarkably well, even if forced to struggle with lousy currency systems.
Along with better currency systems, we also need to shift out of dependency on debt and into an equity based financial system. Equity tends to build alignments and cooperation. Debt facilitates warfare with "buy now, pay later" economics that makes sure the financiers can win no matter the outcome.
Daily Bell: Does the Internet have a role in a new monetary system?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes. However, the Internet is the ultimate surveillance "op." Which means we have to have monetary systems that offer us robust transactions and value storage options in the material world that offer complete privacy without debasement. That means we need systems that function offline between private parties.
Daily Bell: Is the Austrian School making substantial inroads?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes, thank heavens. Let's hope they make more. However, as the centralizers want to use social media and online systems to help centralize transactions and move to digital control of currencies, anticipate lots of "woo-woo" proposals about "new money systems."
I was just at a wonderful conference in Switzerland and heard some of the most terrifying proposals for "a world without money." Having the Austrians by my side did me a world of good. I kept trying to explain to the most wonderful people that after you have turned over trillions of dollars of bailout money to one group who has now centralized tremendous ownership and power, to voluntarily swear off money means to decrease your power in a way that increases theirs. Is that a good idea?
We need to look at all these ideas through the prism of economic warfare. An eco-village can be a wonderful idea if the people who participate choose to create it and grow it well. However, that idea in the hands of the wrong people can be a design for labor camps.
So be careful with monetary ideas. The best monetary reforms are ones you will do in your life, today, now. Change starts with me and what works for me right now in my day-to-day transactions. For example, check out the calculator we made with Franklin Sanders of the Moneychanger to support people who want to use silver and gold to conduct transactions: http://silverandgoldaremoney.com. Otherwise interesting ideas can turn into weapons in the hands of those who do not have our best interests at heart.
Again, one man's eco-village is another man's labor camp. One man's gold standard is another man's plan to reduce a population to a feudal state to his advantage.
Daily Bell: What about the EU and the euro? Will either or both survive?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Force can make any system go, if you apply enough force and are willing to tolerate sufficient wealth destruction and depopulation. Witness the dollar. Numerous benefits come to the average American as a result of the dollar being the reserve currency. At the same time, the force used to make the system go and the debasement of both the currency and the culture that results is destroying America.
The same is happening in Europe. My expectation is that the euro will survive for some time with fewer countries subject to the Lisbon Treaty.
The euro as a currency system makes no sense. Europe has different people, with different languages, in different economies. There is no "we" here.
Different currencies would allow markets to work. So Europe would be wealthier with different currencies. But then the people centralizing the economy would not be able to pick up equity cheap in the PIGS with disaster capitalism tactics. Do they have the force to keep the system going? Yes, at least until enough people can see the game for what it is and are prepared to act in the face of force.
Daily Bell: Do you have an opinion on China? We believe it's headed for a crash landing.
Catherine Austin Fitts: China is struggling in the shift from exporter to the West to a country with more significant internal consumption. Their political challenges are formidable – including keeping one billion people employed and managing a new generation that is dominated by too many single male children.
However, China has an extremely productive culture and people. They think strategically, are very hard-working and love to learn and invest. The Roman Empire and the British Empire went broke trading with the Chinese, until the Brits turned to opium.
I think a growing China is here to stay. Yes, they may slow down as, like the rest of us, they choke on misallocations of capital that occur in bubbles. I don't think they will crash unless the currency wars lead to a global meltdown and war. Their long-term outlook is quite positive. Remember that our success is very much tied to their success.
Oversimplified, if the young people of this world are not successful what would happen to all of us? Elders need youngsters. In part, that is what the shift of capital to the emerging markets is all about.
Daily Bell: What are some of the most important issues pertaining to free markets, in your opinion?
Catherine Austin Fitts: The most important issue is transparency. The second is integrity of contracts and agreements.
Daily Bell: What are the fundamental obstacles to recovery?
Catherine Austin Fitts: We are experiencing an ongoing financial coup d'état that is centralizing power. Symptoms include an absence of transparency, deteriorating integrity of contracts and agreements, environmental deterioration, a "breakaway civilization" that appears "out of control." I would add to this the use of financial markets for warfare as opposed to facilitating the allocation of capital and trade.
The ultimate codification of things like transparency and integrity of transactions is not the law; it is the culture. A variety of forces are systematically breaking down our physical health and our culture. That cultural corruption is the greatest obstacle.
Daily Bell: What are the fundamental issues pertaining to a healthy recovery?
Catherine Austin Fitts: We have to get to the bottom of who has been centralizing and why, what is the technology they have and where it is they are planning to go with this.
Daily Bell: Is there a power elite that is trying to create one-world government? If so, is it succeeding?
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes, there is a concerted effort to create a one-world government and evolve to a one-world currency. It has been succeeding. As the "financial coup d'état" becomes more obvious, centralization is entering a critical stage as more and more people globally react negatively to the effort and related tactics.
Indeed, our current currency wars reflect a natural pulling away from centralization that is healthy.
Daily Bell: What endeavors are you involved in that you want to point out to our audience? What's most important to you that you would like our audience to be aware of and support?
Catherine Austin Fitts: My focus is on the preservation and growth of family wealth. If you study the economy bottom up, it is built by people. Successful economies are built by family enterprises that ultimately contribute significant amounts of financial and civic capital and provide environmental stewardship, not to mention raising our future leaders.
Family wealth is threatened by centralized control. Specific issues that I tend to focus on include the centralization of the seed and food supply in combination with the patenting of life. Others include environmental pollution, financial fraud and insufficient transparency to support individual investors and erosion of property rights and individual liberties.
Daily Bell: What are the most important – seminal – works of yours that you would encourage everyone to read? Where can they be found?
Catherine Austin Fitts: I have spent quite a lot of time thinking about how we could shift the management of institutional capital to a new model. You can read more about the Solari Investment Model here: http://solari.com/blog/the-solari-investment-model/ .
Daily Bell: Finally, give us your best estimate of where is gold headed, pricewise, over the near- and long-term.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Gold is still in a long-term bull market. I anticipate the high for 2012 being somewhere between $2000-2200. Where the price ends up long-term is very much a function of monetary policy in the long-run. Gold is not increasing in value so much as fiat currencies are debasing.
I believe that inflation will continue to be the policy choice to manage global debt positions.
One of my greatest concerns is the push for a Constitutional Convention in the United States. If such a process were hijacked in a manner that fundamentally altered the Constitution, it would create the conditions to make it much easier to manage through deflation. That could have a significant impact on the relationship globally between financial paper and tangibles, including precious metals.
The amount of new technology that could be integrated over the next decade is quite significant. In a more positive scenario, a combination of the global rebalancing and new technology could cause the equity markets to shake off the debt burden and leave precious metals in the dust.
That still leaves the question of how people are going to access the necessities of life if technology provides what labor used to AND the centralizers continue to handicap or disallow small business and entrepreneurship and force hundreds of millions of farmers off their land and into the cities.
If hedge funds can borrow at 1% or less in a carry trade but I have to pay 30% to finance the local farm or meat market, the transition to devalue labor can offset the monetary inflation, but it can also make for a very ugly world.
Daily Bell: On behalf of all of our readers we thank you for sharing your views with us, and hope to hear from you again soon. And we encourage all readers to visit Solari.com and consider learning more about your work. Thank you.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Thank you! I enjoy reading the Daily Bell and am honored to have this opportunity. Thank you for all you and your readers do in this world.
Daily Bell: Thank you.
Thanks to Catherine Austin Fitts for this generous interview. There is much in it that merits study, and we hope viewers take a close look at it.
For us, the most important statement she makes is when she says: "I think Wall Street is the pit bull, not the master. The $64,000 question is, of course, who is really in charge and why are they behaving this way?"
This simple statement puts Wall Street into context. And it is one that people ought to reflect on, in our view, as the hysteria over Wall Street corruption mounts. The same forces that organized Occupy Wall Street are still at it, agitating for a new "Pecora Hearing" of a sort. We've written about this before: The Real Reason Bloomburg Sued to Open Up Fed Records?
We figure the new Pecora Hearings shall begin sometime after Barack Obama is reelected (if he is). The apparently false-flag OWS protestors shall be turned loose once more to cry out for the heads of the one percent. It is reminiscent of a second French Revolution writ small.
Cutting off the heads of the Wall Street captaincy shall not reduce the system's abuses. Regulation shall only concetrate power and make them worse. It's been tried before.
Honestly, the way to deal with Wall Street and its appendages is to withdraw patronage from them. Education is necessary as well because the reality is that Wall Street in its modern form would not exist without the larger money system that is now in place.
Call the larger system of monopoly-privileged central banks Money Power. And the families that control these banks the "power elite." When Ms. Fitts speaks of the "$64,000 question" she is making a point about the way the world REALLY works.
She has acted on this knowledge for her own clients. And in this interview we can surely see why she has amassed a sizeable business and continues to create success for her readers and subscribers.

(a lot of this I have read about before however a lot of this I haven't heard before. Just thought I'd throw it out there for mastication, consumption and generally filing away in the memory banks for possible later use)
In my recent book, Hidden in Plain Sight: Beyond the X-Files, I reproduce in full and discuss a couple of Project Paperclip memoranda (circa 1947) that I discovered in the historical archives of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, in Washington, DC. Of course, the Top Secret Project Paperclip operation brought large numbers of “ex”-NAZI scientists, engineers and technicians to the USA in the years after WW II, where they were salted into a wide variety of military, civil government and espionage agencies, corporations and other organizations.
The Project Paperclip memos caught my attention for a number of reasons. First of all, because they were requesting such prominent names as W.O. Schumann, Walter Dornberger and Eugen Saenger to be made available for Project Paperclip, the first being the preeminent authority in the world on extremely high powered electrical fields, and the last two perhaps the two biggest names in rocket science in the world at that time. The memos also explicitly asked for Xaver Dorsch and three other men to help with the U.S. Military’s Underground Plant Program. Xaver Dorsch was head of the Todt Organization during the last years of WW II and was in charge of Hitler’s frantic program of major underground base construction during the closing stages of WW II.
This greatly interested me because my earlier research had documented that in 1987, Lloyd A. Duscha, the then-Deputy Director of Engineering and Construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, gave a talk at an engineering conference entitled “Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons.” In the first part of his talk he stated that:
“After World War II, political and economic factors changed the underground construction picture and caused a renewed interest to ‘think underground.’ As a result of this interest, the Corps of Engineers became involved in the design and construction of some very complex and interesting military projects.”
Of course, a big part of the “renewed interest to ‘think underground’” was due to the discovery in 1945 of the elaborate underground facilities the NAZIs had constructed during WW II. No doubt, one of the “political … factors (that) changed the underground construction picture” was also Project Paperclip, though it went unmentioned by name by Lloyd Duscha in 1987. A little further on he said:
“Although the conference program indicates the topic to be ‘Underground Facilities for Defense – Experience and Lessons,’ I must deviate a little because several of the most interesting facilities that have been designed and constructed by the Corps are classified.”
Subsequently Mr. Duscha went into a discussion of the Corps’ involvement in the 1960s in the construction of the large and elaborate NORAD base buried deep beneath Cheyenne Mountain, in Colorado. And then he said:
“As stated earlier, there are other projects of similar scope, which I cannot identify…”
I would add, parenthetically that I believe these multiple “interesting facilities” that are “classified”, which he “cannot identify” are likely to be either a) undersea, b) involve sensitive projects involving UFO technology and/or joint alien/human operating bases, and/or c) be located on the Moon and/or Mars and/or other planets and planetoids elsewhere.
Returning the discussion to Project Paperclip again, the request for the NAZI personnel in the Project Paperclip memos that I reference was made under the authority of the American military’s USAFE-A2 Command, which is a military alpha-numeric designation still in use in the present day, having to do with the U.S. Air Force’s European compartmentalized and sensitive intelligence operations.
Please see: http://www.af.mil/shared/media/epubs/AFI14-105_USAFESUP1.pdf
By logical inference, the USAFE-A2 Command is the arena of many Top Secret and classified operations and programs, and has been for more than half a century. Among its many responsibilities are: International Transfers of Technology, Goods, Services and Munitions, Disclosure of Classified Military Information to Foreign Governments and International Organizations, Visits and Assignments of Foreign Nationals, and Disclosure of Military Information to Foreign Governments and International Organizations.
Interestingly, the USAFE-A2Command includes OSS (Operations Support Squadron) units. The espionage acronym OSS is reminiscent of the WW-II era OSS espionage agency of the USA, the Office of Strategic Services. Does a remnant of the WW-II era OSS live on within the bowels of the USAFE-A2 Command, shielded within its secretive structure from public scrutiny? Who knows?
Of course, foreign can mean a number of things, including: nonnative, alien, originating outside of, or having to do with a place outside of or beyond the territory of a given district or country. Germans are, therefore, foreign to the USA. Martians or beings from the Pleiades are also foreign to the USA. And so forth.
One of the two Project Paperclip memoranda is signed by H.M. McCoy, Colonel, Air Corps, Deputy Commanding General, Intelligence (T-2), while the other is signed by Geo. F. Schulgen, Brigadier General, U.S.A., Chief, Air Intelligence Requirements Div., Office of Ass’t Chief of Air Staff-2.
This is intriguing because Colonel H.M. McCoy is a well known figure in post-WW II U.S. military UFO investigations. In the immediate post-WW II period he worked out of Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio, where he interfaced with both the Project Paperclip operation, and directed the U.S. Air Force’s major UFO investigation Project SIGN, which subsequently morphed into Project Grudge in 1949, with McCoy remaining as director.
Please see:http://majesticdocuments.com/official.investigations.projectsign.php
Brigadier General Schulgen also worked out of Wright Patterson, and had involvement with both Project Paperclip and the U.S. Air Force’s UFO investigations. Schulgen both received and wrote high level Top Secret memos on the UFO issue in 1947.

Remember that the recovered UFO wreckage from the so-called Roswell crash in New Mexico in 1947 has been reported by many to have been transported to Wright Patterson AFB.
Enter the NAZI Bell and Its Tangled History
I mention all of this because I recently read Joseph Farrell’s fascinating book, The SS Brotherhood of the Bell, in which he avers that the NAZIs made almost science fiction-like technological breakthroughs during WW II, having to do with exotic, high-energy mercury plasmas, and the engineering of the vacuum or aether, call it what you will, with implications for UFO-like antigravity technology, new generations of scalar weaponry, time travel and more, based on a nonlinear conception of physics, a vorticular physics of the internal rotational stress of space itself. Farrell makes an intriguing case that R&D work on this technology centered on construction of a device known as The Bell (die Glocke). This project has also been earlier discussed in the books, The Hunt For Zero Point, by British aerospace writer, Nick Cook, and The Truth About The Wunderwaffe, by Polish military journalist, Igor Witkowski. The evidence indicates that the Bell R&D project was under the command of a Top Secret SS cell called FEP. This FEP-SS Cell, oddly enough, was under the direction of a Kriegsmarine Admiral Rhein (I will come back to this unexplained naval connection later), which clearly intimates some degree of involvement of the German war-time Navy in the Bell project. However, the actual work on the “Bell” project itself was apparently directed by an SS General Emil Mazuw, about whom very little is known, albeit that he was one of the highest ranking NAZI officers in the Third Reich.
Another important figure, SS General Hans Kammler, also is reported to have had a high-level connection to the Bell project. Kammler was no ordinary SS officer. He was in charge of concentration camp design and construction during the war. He was also tasked with the construction of production facilities for secret weapons programs, and with moving V-2 and V-1 missile production underground to the Mittelwerk facility in the southern Harz mountains near Nordhausen in the last year of the war. During the war Kammler was in charge of special construction projects for Albert Speer, special buildings for Hermann Goering, and for most of the last year of the war was in charge of the V-2 project, taking it over from SS General Walter Dornberger. This is the same V-2 program for which Wernher von Braun was the principle rocket scientist and engineer. At war’s end SS General Hans Kammler seems to have vanished into thin air, along with the Bell itself. There is speculation that the both of them were perhaps secretly flown away to the USA and/or South America, or even another, unknown destination.
Part of Farrell’s thesis is that near the end of WW II and in the following years, a powerful NAZI faction established an extremely secretive, extremely well funded, international organizational network to continue the exotic, high-tech R&D centered on the scalar, anti-gravity and time engineering breakthroughs they had made during WW II. The work is hypothesized to have continued after WW II, in part with the connivance of Operation Paperclip in the USA, but also elsewhere in various other countries of the world, including Russia, Egypt and Argentina, and presumably others, operating from within the military-industrial-espionage complex of the USA and other countries. Within the USA, this sprawling network had a number of nodal points, notably in Virginia, Texas, New Mexico, Florida and Alabama.
The Project Paperclip Memos
I definitely consider that the two Project Paperclip memoranda that I discovered in the NASA historical archives in Washington, DC are completely consonant with Farrell’s thesis. I don’t have the slightest doubt that Project paperclip was part and parcel of the post-WW II continuation of the NAZI agenda under official USA government and military auspices.
Winfried Otto Schumann, best known today for discovering the Schumann magnetic resonances in the ionosphere, was one of the preeminent high voltage, high current electrophysical scientists and engineers in the world in the first half of the 20th century. W.O. Schumann’s name is on both of the Project Paperclip memos in question. Interestingly, W.O. Schumann was granted a U.S. Patent on 29 September 1942, at the height of WW II, Patent No. 2,297, 256 – - entitled “Tube Control.” The patent application was filed in April of 1939 in Germany. The title of the patent says that the patent is “Vested in the Alien Property Custodian.” (Hmm. One does wonder precisely what technology the “Alien Property Custodian” of the USA government has collected over the years.) To be sure, from the standpoint of Joseph Farrell’s research on the SS Nazi “Bell,” Schumann’s “Tube Control” patent pointedly has to do with vacuum-arc electrical discharges within a mercury plasma contained within a tube.
Joseph Farrell reports that mercury plasma and very high energy electrical fields are both said to be integral to the operation of the NAZI Bell. And Project Paperclip was “ordering” W.O. Schumann as of 16 June 1947, just three weeks before the famous Roswell UFO crash in New Mexico. What a coincidence, eh? I wonder if the recovered Roswell crash wreckage was also “Vested in the Alien Property Custodian,” like W.O. Schumann’s “vacuum-arc mercury plasma Tube Control” patent?
Walter Dornberger, Werrnher von Braun’s commanding officer at Peenemuende, and head of the V-2 missile program until Hans Kammler took it over in the last year of the war, is also listed in this memo. Dornberger was brought to the USA and went to work for Bell Helicopter, in New York State. That seems a strange destination for a ballistic missile expert. However, Bell Helicopter was for a period of time a leading company in the R&D effort for the U.S. Air Force’s planned manned space program, the Dyna-Soar boost-glide rocket plane, during the 1950s and early 1960s. Most people do not know, or do not remember, that in that period there were two, parallel manned space programs under development, one at NASA, the Mercury and Gemini programs, the other at the Air Force, the Dyna-Soar program. Even fewer people know that Neil Armstrong, purportedly the first man to walk on the Moon, was in astronaut training in the U.S. Air Force’s Dyna-Soar manned space program, before he left that program and became a NASA astronaut.
As regards Dornberger’s odd placement at Bell Helicopter, was he placed there to get him out of the public eye, away from von Braun and the other Paperclip personnel, perhaps in order to run a compartmentalized program safely removed from the publicity glare of the manned space program and the USA’s miliary agencies’ ballistic missile programs?
Jospeh Farrell mentions the central role played by the Allgemeine Electricitäts Gesellschaft (A.E.G.) in the R&D of the Bell.
Two specialists with an AEG affiliation are requested by the Paperclip memos:
Dr. Orthenhuber, with an expertise in homing systems, and also
Professor Bladenbeck, with an expertise in guided missiles and infrared homing.
Others requested are:
Dr. Wolfgang Braun, with expertise in radar tracking devices, and
Dr. W. Pfister, with expertise in navigation and theoretical electronics
Dr. Ing. Max Knoll, specialist in cathode ray tubes and electron optics
Dr. Kurt Franz, theorist in high frequency technique
Dr. W. Wessel, specialist in theoretical physics and electrostatics of ion fields
Hans Bomke, specialist in theoretical physics and high frequency techniques
Prof. O. Scherzer, specialist in electron optics
For a more detailed discussion of why scientists and engineers with these qualifications and areas of expertise were of such interest to Project Paperclip please refer to Joseph Farrell’s, The SS Brotherhood of the Bell. Suffice it to say that high energy ionized gases (plasmas), high frequency pulsing of electrical currents and fields, electrostatics, particle physics, radar theory and so forth, have direct application to so-called UFO technologies, and so-called scalar technologies. I’m talking about things like antigravity, electrogravitics, manipulation of the local foundation of the time-space continuum, and perhaps also time travel, or engineering of the time stream. It is clear to me at this point that there are important aspects of Project Paperclip that have still not been publicly divulged, even with the passage of several decades of time. Frankly, what we are looking at is a kind of Black Magic, an effort to technologically force the source-code of the Universe and subjugate the Creation to a duplicitous, technocratic, militaristic dominion.
Most of the “Bell” project took place in Lower Silesia. Notably, much of the most important work took place underground, beneath Fürstenstein castle. My research strongly suggests that the exotic technology R&D of the NAZIs continued in underground bases in the USA and probably also in other regions of the world. The Project Paperclip memos that I found in the NASA historical archives all but admit as much.
Virginia
President Truman, the 33rd President of the United States of America (and a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Free Mason– you’ll be seeing more of the number “33? and Scottish Rite Free Masonry in this article), established the CIA with the National Security Act of 1947, effectively wedding the Third Reich’s sprawling NAZI spy apparatus, the Gehlen Organization, with the remnants of the American OSS. The practical result was that the CIA, from its creation, was a hybrid NAZI- American agency and provided intimate “ex”-NAZI access to the very highest and most secretive levels of the American power structure – government, military, intelligence agencies, industry, the halls of academe, you name it.
To my knowledge, the CIA has at least three principle bases of operation in Virginia, one at its world famous, Langley headquarters in northern Virginia; another at its extremely secretive underground base at the U.S. Army’s Warrenton Training Stations in northern Virginia, about which almost nothing is known; and another at its Camp Peary training and operations base in southeastern Virginia, often popularly referred to as “The Farm.”.
Camp Peary is right across from Colonial Williamsburg along I-64, the interstate highway that runs from Richmond to Newport News. Camp Peary has an interesting history. During WW II it was initially a Seabee training base, and then was made into a POW base for “special” German prisoners of war that had to be held under very secretive conditions. Several years after the war, Camp Peary became a high security CIA base and remains so today. On maps, Camp Peary is identified as a U.S. Navy Reservation, but it is, in fact, a CIA base. As an aside, Camp David, the Presidential retreat adjacent to Catoctin State Park in the mountains of Maryland, is also a U.S. Navy Reservation, built by the Seabees and guarded by the U.S. Marine Corps. During WW II the area that is now Camp David was a training base for the OSS. Camp David today has a massive underground base that sprawls for miles beneath the mountains and countryside of rural Maryland. I have talked to people that have been down in the tunnels, and one of them told me that the Camp David subterranean maze is so vast and intricate that he doubts that any one individual has the complete layout of the place in his or her mind.
Interestingly, only a few miles away from Camp Peary in Tidewater Virginia, at nearby Fort Eustis, the U.S. Army’s Transportation Museum possesses A.V. Roe Aircraft Limited’s Avro Car, a prototype flying saucer that was under R&D during the 1950s by the Canadian and USA militaries. The official story is that it did not work well, and so the flying saucer project was scuttled due to the disappointing results. Personally, I believe this effort may have been a cover operation for far more secretive and successful R&D work on UFOs that has been kept out of the public eye for decades.
The Avro Car flying saucer was profiled in LOOK Magazine‘s 14 June 1955 issue, which asked: “Is This the Real Flying Saucer?” One of the things I found interesting about it, was that the article included an illustration of a large, underground, flying saucer base, buried beneath a mountainous terrain covered by a coniferous forest, in what looked to be a western region of the USA. I will come back to this a little later.
As I said the CIA is a hybrid organization from its inception, born in 1947 of the union of the NAZI Gehlen Organization spy agency and the USA’s OSS (Office of Strategic Services).
I have already mentioned the CIA’s well known Langley headquarters in northern Virginia, but there is another Langley in Virginia — Langley Air Force Base just to the north of Hampton, Virginia – only a short drive from Camp Peary. This matters to this account, because NASA astronauts trained at Langley AFB in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the very period when NAZI involvement at NASA was at its height. Can it be coincidence that scarcely 10 years after the creation of the CIA – a hybrid, half NAZI organization from the very start, and the establishment of the CIA’s main training base at Camp Peary, Virginia that NASA’s main astronaut training facility was just a short drive away? Just to the north of Langley AFB, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, on the Delmarva Peninsula is another NASA facility on Wallop’s Island, the NASA Wallop’s Flight Facility, where many rockets and missiles have been launched over a period of decades. So both northern Virginia and southeastern Virginia have been hubs of espionage and high-tech R&D for post-WW II “ex”-NAZI elements, principally via NASA and the CIA.
Finally, just across the interstate highway from the CIA’s main training base at Camp Peary, is Colonial Williamsburg, the 18th century town restored to its British colonial vintage condition with Rockefeller family money. Perambulating the area you would think yourself transported back almost two and a half centuries to an earlier era. As you look around you see men and women in colonial dress, you might see and hear a British or Continental Army fife and drum corps in period dress parading down the street, or horse drawn carriages, 18th century muskets and cannon, a windmill, or colonial government and royal administrative buildings. You would almost think yourself caught in a sort of time warp, or maybe a sort of time machine.
Are you? Is this what a functioning time machine looks like? Yes? No?
Would you know a time machine if you were looking at it? Yes? No?
Is Colonial Williamsburg perhaps an elaborate set-up or charade to permit discreet passage to and from the 18th century on the East Coast of North America? How deep does the rabbit hole go?
New Mexico
Of course New Mexico is famous for the so-called Roswell UFO crash and recovery in 1947. (The fact that there was likely more than one UFO crash and retrieval in New Mexico in mid-summer 1947, and that none of the UFO crashes and recoveries actually happened in Roswell itself is not my concern here.)
What does interest me is that in the summer of 1947 there was a large contingent of NAZI scientists and engineers working at the nearby White Sands Army Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. I doubt very much that that was a coincidence. I do suspect some sort of NAZI connection to or involvement with the events surrounding the so-called “Roswell Crash” in 1947, whether before, during or after the fact, and even, who knows? – potentially in all three phases.
Also nearby, is the so-called underground Manzano Base, just southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Construction of this underground base began – you should be able to guess by now – in June 1947, the same year the CIA was established, the same year of the Project Paperclip memos which are the focus of this blog post, and the same year of the so-called “Roswell UFO crash” and retrieval. I doubt that it is a coincidence that all of these things happened in the same year.
Recall that the Project Paperclip memos that I cite (and reproduce in full in my book, Hidden in Plain Sight) specifically call for Xaver Dorsch and three other NAZI technicians to assist with the USAF’s “Underground Plant Program.” The Manzano Base was one of the USA military’s first, major deep underground bases. Begun shortly adter WW II. The other was at what is now Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texas (more about that a little later). The fact that this base was begun at precisely the same time (1947) that Project Paperclip requested Xaver Dorsch (1947) is surely no accident. He was perhaps the premier expert in the world at that time on major, underground base construction, having been explicitly tasked with that duty by Adolph Hitler in the closing months of WW II. I suspect he may very well have also been secretly brought to New Mexico under Project Paperclip to assist with the Manzano Base construction. Remember that we have the 1947 memorandum asking for him, he was in American military detention after the war, the Manzano Base was begun in mid-1947, and scores of other Paperclip NAZis were working in New Mexico at that time. The circumstantial evidence therefore points in that direction.
I have discussed the Manzano Base in my books and you can find information about it in them. There is also more information at this link.
Note that in addition to being an underground nuclear weapons storage and assembly factory, the base was also a Presidential underground shelter during the Eisenhower administration. I have reason to believe there is a great deal more to this facility than that, however. One of my high-level sources has told me that the Manzano Base is truly vast. This is from a source not given to hyperbole or exaggeration.
I was also contacted by a woman some years back who told me that her father made a death bed confession to his family that he had helped build an underground city in New Mexico when she was a child. He had frequently gone away from the family on work related business for prolonged periods of time in the post-WW II period, and never explained to the family the reason for his his long absences. But as he lay dying he opened up and the story poured out. He described an elaborate, almost sci-fi sort of underground city with advanced features that most buildings don’t have even today, such as light switches embedded in the walls that you merely waved your hand at to turn on or off.
I have spoken to others who have been inside this facility, including one man who helped with the construction in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a life-long hard rock miner for the USA government. He told me that when he and his crew went into the mountain to begin their shifts they were always blindfolded. When they were shifted underground from one part of the mountain to another, they were always blindfolded. In other words, not even the men who excavated the tunnels and chambers of the Manzano Base knew the lay-out of the underground base they had built.
One of the stories I heard more than once is that the Manzano Base also includes an subterranean air base for jet fighters that can be scrambled from an underground runway and launched right from the side of the mountain through a camouflaged opening. While I cannot say if this is true or not, what is true is that there has been documented UFO activity in and around the Manzano Base in past years.
I definitely think that the Manzano Base must be considered a prime candidate to be the underground UFO base depicted in the 1955 LOOK Magazine UFO article, because it is located in western, mountainous terrain, covered by a coniferous forest that closely resembles the illustration that accompanies the LOOK article.
There are also underground facilities beneath White Sands Missile Range, where the Operation Paperclip NAZIs worked. My research indicates this includes at a minimum underground laser R&D facilities, and extensive, deep underground tunnels.
I lived in New Mexico for several years and I encountered many people during my time there who have seen a wide variety of UFOs and flying saucers. I also had some very clear UFO sightings of my own while living in New Mexico. It is very easy for me to believe that some, a lot, or maybe just about all of the UFO activity in New Mexcio is related to the underground bases and tunnels that lie beneath that state.
I want to say something more about the NAZI presence in New Mexico before I go on. It is well established that Wernher von Braun and his team of 118 scientists, engineers and technicians worked at White Sands Missile Range in the post-WW II period. They were put to work assembling and test firing V-2 rockets that had been brought over from Germany at war’s end. The interesting thing is that there was one and only one V-2 launch complex at White Sands, launch pad No. 33. Of course, this is an echo of the heavy importance of the number 33 in the esoteric lore of Free Masonry. This, again, is not a coincidence. There was deep Masonic involvement with the early days of NASA, and its predecessor agency, NACA. Much of this connection ran through the House of the Temple, the 33rd degree Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on 16th Street, in Washington, DC, about a mile north of the White House. The Project Paperclip NAZIs like Wernher von Braun and Kurt Debus fired V-2s at Launch Complex No. 33 at White Sands after WW II, and later in the 1950s and 1960s they worked at the highest levels of a space program with strong 33rd degree Scottish Rite Masonic ties. I don’t think this is a coincidence.
In case you are of the opinion that the New Mexico connection to UFOs is ancient history, perhaps you would like to reconsider your ill-advised bias and read the following: Haunted Roswell: Huge, Cloaking Aerial Disc Encounter by NM State Prison Corrections Officer
Texas
The Texas connection to this whole, mysterious, decades-long affair is strong and convoluted. First of all, the NAZI Paperclip scientists, engineers and technicians who were first brought to the USA in 1945 with Wernher von Braun were brought to Fort Bliss, in west Texas, north of El Paso, where they were housed as they worked at White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico, where they continued working with V-2 rocket technology for the American military, in the late 1940s.
Other NAZIs also came to Texas. Hubertus Strughold, the so-called father of space medicine, went to Randolph Air Force Base, near San Antonio. Dr Walter Paul Emil Schreiber was also brought to Randolph Air Force Base, but then was soon sent by the USA military to Argentina, when his presence in Texas became publicly known. (I mention a little more about Argentina below. Argentina was also a focus of NAZI activity in the post-WW II era.)
The NAZI connection to Texas is interesting for a number of reasons, not least of which is the decades-long tie of the Bush family political dynasty to Texas, in both the political and corporate realms. The business and banking ties of Prescott Bush (father and grandfather, respectively, of George Herbert Walker Bush and George W. Bush) to the NAZI regime, both before and during WW II, are a matter of record.
As it happens, there has been a sizable, ethnic German population concentrated in the Texas Hill Country for almost two centuries, beginning with a wave of German immigration in the 1840s. I do not at all mean to say that as a group that ethnic, Texas Germans are NAZIs – quite to the contrary!
I raise the point, because I cannot fail to mention Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, a native German speaker, who was born in 1885 in Fredericksburg, Texas, the county seat of Gillespie County, Texas. Fredericksburg is in the very heart of the then heavily German-speaking Texas Hill Country. Of course, Nimitz was Commander of American forces in the Pacific Theater during WW II. Interestingly, he went to privately visit German Admiral Dönitz, the commander of the Kriegsmarine during WW II, after Dönitz’s release from prison in 1956. (More about Dönitz below.) Did Nimitz just extend pleasantries and condolences to his imprisoned NAZI counterpart, or did they have weightier matters to discuss? Perhaps even pertaining to the subject of this article? Remember that Nimitz was a native German speaker and by virtue of his rank and position would have been privy to the very highest levels of war-time intelligence. He was uniquely qualified to debrief Dönitz, in a way that virtually no one else on the American side would have been. It also must be mentioned that Nimitz was appointed the Chief of Naval Operations after WW II, and it was in this capacity that less than a year after the conclusion of hostilities in WW II he issued the orders for the well-known Antarctic Operation High Jump. Operation High Jump has been the subject of much speculation in both UFOlogy and NAZI conspiracy circles concerning the possible presence of a remnant, post-WW II, high-tech NAZI redoubt in the Antarctic region, perhaps incorporating a flying saucer base. I personally do not know if this is the case or not. Who really knows? A great deal of what happened just before, during, and just after the conclusion of military hostilities in WW II remains very murky, to this day.
With respect to Admiral Dönitz, remember that he commanded the German Kriegsmarine during the last two years of WW II, and that in the closing days of the war, Adolph Hitler appointed Dönitz to be Reichspräsident. Admiral Dönitz was, thus, de facto and de jure head of state of the Third Reich for the last week of its existence, in the first week of May 1945. Recall that, according to Joseph Farrell, the Bell program was conducted at a very secretive level by powerful elements of the SS, but was in reality also a securely compartmentalized Navy (Kriegsmarine) program. Farrell also points out the importance that mercury seems to have played in the Bell technology. As it happens, in the closing stages of the war, no less than three German U-Boats were dispatched to Japan bearing cargoes of mercury: U-864 with more than 60 tons of mercury in steel flasks, as well as jet engines, parts and technical drawings, U-234 with 562 kg of uranium oxide (interestingly, U-234 is also the notation for one of the isotopes of uranium), also mercury and optical glass in its keel, and U-859 with 31 tons of mercury. All of these German submarines were either surrendered or sunk in the last months and days of the war, so their cargoes are known.
Were other German submarines loaded with mercury or other exotic cargoes also underway at or near war’s end, but perhaps completed their missions without being captured or sunk, and thus both their cargoes and destinations remain unknown? In that regard, it is noteworthy that German Submarines U-530 and U-977 both surrendered in Mar del Plata, Argentina, months after the formal cessation of military hostilities with the Third Reich. Did either of these submarines deliver a special cargo or special passengers to Argentina or another destination in the region, or is it simply that their commanding officers wished to surrender in Argentina. Who knows? But this is not the first or only time that Argentina has come to public mention as a destination for NAZIs fleeing Europe after WW II.
Given his close Texas Hill Country connections, and the continuing post-WW II immigration of Germans to the Texas Hill Country, including unknown numbers of SS officers, who knows what Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz may have known or been told? Who knows whom else he might have known, whether in an unofficial or official capacity? People like Nimitz and Dönitz were not ordinary men; the positions they held were not ordinary posts; the things they did were not the sorts of things that ordinary people do; and a lot of distinctly non-ordinary events occurred during, and just after WW II. Both Nimitz and Dönitz would both have been privy to an awful lot of Top Secret information during the war and at war’s end. So what did Dönitz and Nimtz talk about? Did Nimitz fly all the way to Germany just to say, “Es tut mir leid”? (“I’m sorry.”) I am inclined to think that their conversation probably involved more than a handshake and the exchange of social pleasantries.
Joseph Farrell also spends a lot of time on the assassination of President John Kennedy, which conspicuously occurred in Texas, and the probable involvement of a shadowy NAZI faction in the background machinations behind the hit, ultimately with the objective of keeping secret the revolutionary new technologies that they had discovered and developed, and which they feared Kennedy’s policies of increased openness in the American space program would expose. To be sure, when you ask, at a pragmatic political level, cui bono? with respect to the JFK murder, the obvious answer, first and foremost, is that Lyndon Baines Johnson benefited by succeeding to the Presidency of the USA before the day was done.
Coincidentally, Lyndon Johnson also happens to be a native son of Gillespie County, having lived in Stonewall, Texas about 10 miles east of Fredericksburg, Texas, where Chester Nimitz was born and grew up. Johnson was a U.S. Congressman during WW II representing a Texas Hill Country district. He was also a Naval Reserve officer who played a high profile role upgrading the U.S. war effort in the Southwest Pacific Theater, serving as a prominent liaison between President Roosevelt, Undersecretary of the Navy James Forrestal, General Douglas MacArthur, the U.S. Senate and others. Obviously, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Chester Nimitz certainly knew each other personally, and certainly would have interacted face to face on multiple occasions, both having been born and grown up in the same, rural Texas county, both having been prominently involved at the highest levels in U.S. Navy operations in the WW II Pacific Theater, and both having played a prominent role in the public life of the nation.
Because of his lifelong Texas Hill Country ties, Lyndon Johnson is also likely to have known of, and quite possibly to have directly known ex-NAZI SS officers resident in his Congressional district. I worked and lived in that region of Texas for more than ten years. I got to know some of the Texas German old timers, and the inside scuttlebutt that I heard was that the last, known SS officer in the Texas Hill Country died in, or about, the year 1999. So if there really was NAZI SS involvement behind the scenes in the JFK hit, and if there really were “ex”-NAZI SS officers quietly living in the Texas Hill Country in the decades after WW II (as I have been told there were), then whom did Lyndon Johnson know, and when did he know them and what, if anything, did they talk about?
Remember that when Johnson became President he moved NASA’s mission control center from Cape Canaveral, Florida to Houston, Texas. Remember also, that in those days there was very heavy ex-NAZI leadership of NASA, at the very highest levels. Wernher von Braun, Kurt Debus (whom Farrell reveals to have had personal involvement in the SS Bell project), Arthur Rudolph and others were in charge.
I mention this in part, because one of the stories that has come my way over the years, as I have pursued my secret underground and underwater bases research, is that there is purportedly an actual NAZI undersea base in the Gulf of Mexico, replete with large Swastika banners on the walls, just offshore from the Houston- Galveston area. I received this story second-hand, and while I cannot prove that it is true, I am willing to consider that it may be, especially in light of the documented NAZI ties to Texas that my research has uncovered. Moreover my research has indicated that the Gulf of Mexico is one of the bodies of water in the world where secret undersea facilities do exist.
An added consideration is the strong historical ties of the Bush family to both the NAZI Party and the Third Reich, and also to the Houston area, and to the powerful petroleum industry in Texas. The offshore petroleum industry in the Houston area certainly has the money, technology and trained personnel to construct undersea facilities. I believe that that has happened. As for the Bush family’s NAZI ties, recall that Prescott Bush, father of George Herbert Walker Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush, both of whom became President of the USA, was a Wall Street banker before and during WW II with NAZI business ties Please see: How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power for his involvement in helping to facilitate the industrial foundation of the Third Reich’s war effort, and the profitability of his efforts for the Bush family’s subsequent financial fortune.
Note that Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were all three inducted into the super-secretive Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which originated in the 1800s as a branch of a never-publicly-named German secret society. I duly note that the skull and bones insignia was prominently used by the NAZI SS during the Third Reich, and also by certain units in the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe.
Before leaving Texas I have to add that there was another major underground base built in the post-WW II period, in this case at Fort Hood, near Killeen, Texas, at the same time that the Manzano Base in New Mexico was being built. I have been told that the underground base is near the Robert Gray Army Airfield, which is on the Fort Hood military reservation. I communicated with a man who was stationed there during the Vietnam War. He informed me that his underground duty station was located at a point two miles inside an access tunnel. I asked him what happened inside the underground base and he said that what happened there could be interpreted as having to do with a type of “Gray” operation. Given the context of our communication I understood that he meant that the USA military was carrying out a project at the Killeen underground base having to do with the so-called “Little Grey” aliens in some wise, or with their technology.
Ohio
I earlier mentioned Ohio, in connection to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which played a huge role in the Pentagon’s UFO related research and programs, not only with regard to the Roswell affair, but in other respects, as well, some of which I have mentioned elsewhere in this discussion. Indeed, I have talked with one of the physicists (not a publicly known man) involved with the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book program who flatly told me that when he worked at Wright-Patterson that the US Air Force was secretly flying two UFOs of their own manufacture right out of Wright-Patterson AFB. He said that they would open the hangar doors in the dead of night and fly them right out of the hangars at full bore. According to him, one was a large circular vehicle and the other somewhat resembled a 1950s-era automobile.
I accept that the USA military has had UFO technology for decades. The Pentagon is just lying about that, like it lies about so many other things.
One of the reasons I accept that is because Ohio is also the home state of T. Townsend Brown, a 20th century, genius-level scientist, engineer and inventor who discovered and carried out extensive R&D work on electrogravitic and antigravitic technologies, with direct application to UFO technology. He worked for a variety of military and aerospace agencies and organizations, on research in this vein. At one time he worked for Dr. Vannevar Bush, whom many have linked to the Top Secret MJ-12 UFO organization. His early work demonstrated that an x-ray vacuum tube containing ionized particles would exert a force when connected to a high voltage source. The force was not attributable to the x-rays that were generated. This is strongly reminiscent of what the NAZI SS was said to have done with their “Bell” technology, which involved a sealed cylinder containing ionized mercury that was subjected to very high voltages. This force came to be called the Biefeld-Brown effect. I am sure that the NAZI scientists and engineers would have been aware of T. Townsend Brown’s earlier work in the 1920s. During the 1950s Brown concentrated on electrogravitic and antigravity research. In the mid-1950s he was working in France for Projet Montgolfier which unabashedly had to do with levitating circular, flying-saucer shaped metallic objects. See some representative photos here. Brown reportedly made significant breakthroughs during his period of flying saucer propulsion research in France.
I accept that this is true without reservation or qualification whatsoever. During my own extensive literature search through the post-WW II military and engineering technical documentation I noticed that during the 1950s there was a flurry of research associated with electrogravitics and antigravity and then by 1960 or so, the references in the technical literature dwindled away. I believe this is because important breakthrough were made in antigravity and electrogravitics and the R&D effort was taken Top Secret into the hermetically compartmentalized world of black budget operations. I have no doubt that T. Townsend Brown was part of this secret R&D program, that must have included the NAZIs, too.
Interestingly, it is the case that Zanesville, Ohio, the hometown of T. Townsend Brown, also popped up in my research as the proposed site for a deep underground military excavation back in the early 1960s. Given Ohio’s close connection to the UFO phenomenon through Wright-Patterson AFB, and through the life work of T. Townsend Brown, it would not surprise me in the slightest if an underground base was constructed far below Zanesville, Ohio that is somehow related to or connected to UFOs or UFO research.
New Hampshire
Jospeh Farrell also mentions the peculiar UFO abduction case of Barney and Betty Hill, because it explicitly raises the issue of NAZI involvement with secret UFO activity in the post-WW II period. The book, The Interrupted Journey, by John Fuller, describes in detail the September 1961 abduction of Barney and Betty Hill by beings in a glowing, cigar-shaped craft in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. In my first book, Underground Bases and Tunnels: What is the Government Trying to Hide?, the White Mountains of New Hampshire were one of the locations which my research had revealed the USA military looked at in the early 1960s, and regarded as favorable for deep underground construction. I believe that deep underground facilities have, indeed, been built in New England, including in the White Mountains.
I point this out, because under hypnotic regression Barney Hill describes the commander of the group that abducted him and took him aboard the UFO as being a NAZI, specifically a NAZI in a black uniform. This is interesting because the Waffen SS officers did wear black uniforms. It is indisputable fact that Project Paperclip did bring large numbers of NAZIs to the USA, including a lot of SS officers, so I am open to the possibility that the commander of the group that reportedly abducted Barney Hill may really have been a NAZI officer. As I recall, Barney also reported that one of the other abductors was an Irish man, but could he have been slightly mistaken? Maybe the other man was not actually Irish, but Scottish? Perhaps a Scottish Rite Free Mason? The curious thing is that by this point I really do not think I am joking, because at that precise historical juncture in the USA there were influential NAZIs and 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemasons working closely together at a very high level on the American manned space program. One of Joseph Farrell’s premises is that this close cooperation between high-level NAZI operatives and Free Masons may have extended into the hermetically compartmentalized world of Black Operations, specifically as regards UFOs and unconventional UFO-like technologies. I am in close accord with Joseph Farrell on that point. I would go further and hypothesize that this cooperation could also extend to working with one or more off-planet species or groups, conceivably non-human beings, or even human beings from other planets. And, yes, I have heard, seen, read and been told enough that I now accept that there are multiple planets, conceivably myriad planets in this galaxy, with resident human populations that very strongly resemble Earth humans.
The truth is that not all prominent UFOlogists are good researchers, so for whatever reason, certain aspects of Barney Hill’s story have not been given the serious treatment and investigation that they deserve. I believe this has been a grave oversight. To his credit, Joseph Farrell is one of the few researchers and writers to have recognized the importance of the NAZI aspect of Barney Hill’s experience.
Alabama
Not to forget Alabama, in particular the U.S. Army’s Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville. After leaving Fort Bliss, Texas and the U.S. Army’s White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, Wernher von Braun and his team were sent to the Redstone Arsenal to continue working.
Early on in my research back in the early 1990s I had run across 1950s-era plans by the U.S. Army to build a large underground rocket base beneath Green Mountain, near Huntsville, Alabama. At the time I was puzzled by that, but now more pieces are falling into place. Wernher von Braun and his team were at Redstone Arsenal in that period. This was also the period where the USA military was really ramping up its post-WW II program of major, underground base construction, and the U.S. Army no doubt wanted Wernher von Braun and his team to have the same facility to work with that they had in Germany, during the Third Reich. Recall that the last year of the war, V-1 and V-2 rocket production had been moved underground into the Mittelwerk production facility in the southern Harz Mountains. The Pentagon was simply mimicking the Third Reich’s playbook. Hitler had had an underground rocket factory, and the American generals wanted the same thing. I don’t know if Xaver Dorsch was still being debriefed by, or consulting with or for the U.S. Army at that time, but the Pentagon would certainly have gotten detailed information from him about the NAZIs’ extensive underground military and industrial production facilities.
There were also military plans to build an underground base beneath Kennesaw Mountain, in northern Georgia. Given the documented U.S. military interest in building underground bases in the southern Appalachian region, I assume that that has been done. If there are bases beneath Green and Kennesaw Mountains, they are clandestine.
Egyptian Project Paperclip
Many people are not aware that there was also an Egyptian analog to the American Project Paperclip. Hundreds of ex-NAZI scientists, engineers and technicians worked for years in Heliopolis, not far from Cairo. For a time Eugen Sänger was in charge of the research in Egypt. Recall that the services of Eugen Sänger were also explicitly requested by Operation Paperclip in 1947. Sänger was the father of the technology that ultimately led to the NASA space shuttle program. Walter Dornberger brought technical plans and schematics for this prototype technology with him when he came to the USA under Project Paperclip. I discuss this in my book, Kundalini Tales. Otto Skorzeny, the high-level SS operative who was seemingly everywhere, doing everything during WW II, was at least as active after the war, in organizing the international activities of “ex”-NAZI officers after the war. Skorzeny also was involved with the Egyptian “Paperclip” project, albeit in an unexpected way. Amazingly Skorzeny, the high-level “ex”-NAZI SS officer, was actually hired by the Mossad (Israeli Intelligence) in 1963 to finger ex-NAZIs working in Egypt. You can’t make this stuff up!
But the Egyptian connection is interesting. As a House of the Temple docent patiently explained to me one sweltering summer day in 1997, Scottish Rite Freemasonry traces its roots back to the masons who created the ancient monolithic architecture in Egypt. This is a salient point, because 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemasonry had a close connection to the NASA space program (and its NACA forerunner) in the 1950s and 1960s. The House of the Temple, the headquarters for the Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the USA, just north of the White House on 16th Street, in Washington, DC, had an especially close tie to the early NASA manned space program. In other words, in the formative years of NASA, high level Free Masons and high level NAZIs worked very closely together, and the connection ran through one of the most powerful Masonic lodges in the world, that considers that its historical antecedents trace back to ancient Egypt. At the same period, other NAZIs were at work in Egypt, on another technological R&D program. Coincidence? I suspect not.
Consider that the numbers 33, 33 and 1/3 and 333 are much beloved by high-level Free Masons. I don’t know why, but they are. They positively revere these numbers.
I mention this, because the Egyptian Project Paperclip was based at “Sakr” Factory 333 in Heliopolis, just outside of Cairo. The meaning of the Arabic word, sakr, is “falcon” or “eagle.” One is reminded of the Apollo 11 lunar module, “The Eagle,” and Neil Armstrong’s famous words upon setting down on the Moon’s surface: “The Eagle has landed.” One is equally reminded of the NAZI eagle prominently perched over the Swastika on NAZI banners, medals, insignias, statues, and so forth. The modern Egyptian national flag also prominently displays an eagle. Coincidences? Perhaps not.
For more on the large NAZI presence in Egypt after WW II please see:
Postwar Arab links to the ODESSA network
To my knowledge, the NAZis are not still there at Sakr Factory 333 in Heliopolis today. (Though who knows?) Today, there is a Sakr Factory For Development Industries in Heliopolis, still producing missiles and other ordnance for the Egyptian military, and its mailing address is, you guessed it: P.O. Box 33.
The 33rd degree Masonic connection also arises at one point in Farrell’s discussion, as he cites a memo that appears to allude to 33rd degree Masonic funding for highly Top Secret, MJ-12 related UFO research as it relates to a sprawling, international post-WW II exotic technology R&D program.
At one time there was a fair amount of information about the “Egyptian” Operation Paperclip at Heliopolis available online, but some of that appears to have vanished from the Internet in the past few years, or at any rate to be harder to track down than formerly was the case.
Before leaving Egypt I cannot fail to mention Dr. Farouk El-Baz. El-Baz is a native Egyptian, with a genius-level IQ. His PhD is in geology, but he has PhD level expertise in a variety of fields including remote sensing and photography, and more. He is a brilliant polymath with a formidable intellect. Let me explain his connection to all of this.
First let’s look at a brief chronology of his career.
Born 1938.
1958 BS in geology and chemistry from Ain Shams University in Cairo
1958-1960 taught geology at Assiut University in Egypt
1961 MS in geology from Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy
1962-1963 research at MIT in Boston
1964 PhD in geology from Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy
1964-1965 taught geology at University of Heidelberg, Germany
1966 worked as petroleum geologist for Pan American-UAR company in Gulf of Suez, Egypt
1967 was put in charge of the surface lunar component of NASA’s Apollo space program
Got that? He was just 29 years old, a newly minted PhD in geology, who had briefly been an adjunct professor, like a lot of young academics, and had spent a year working as a petroleum geologist.
From there he went directly to the very top of the NASA power structure, working at the highest and most sensitive level of the most important American scientific and engineering undertaking since the Manhattan Project. A 29 year-old Egyptian geologist, leapfrogged over myriad senior American engineers and scientists to be a) Supervisor of Lunar Science Planning, b) Secretary of the Landing Site Selection Committee, c) Principal Investigator of Visual Observations and Photography and d) Chairman of the Astronaut Training Group.
Remember that this was at the height of the Cold War. And a 29 year-old Egyptian was brought in to run the lunar manned space program. He was in charge of everything that happened on the Moon – landing site selection, lunar photography, astronaut training, lunar science planning.
I have spoken with one of the other men on the Apollo landing site selection committee and he remarked to me with disgust that the landing site selections were not made on the basis of scientific criteria, but were governed by “political considerations”. I pressed him a bit, but he wouldn’t elaborate on that cryptic statement. Given what I know now those “political considerations” could well have been NAZI or 33rd degree Free Mason “considerations”, or even publicly unknown, perhaps esoteric, Egyptian “considerations”.
So who is Farouk El-Baz? (I mean in the essential sense.) I don’t presume to know with specificity, but he is very well connected at the highest levels in Egypt and obviously in the USA, as well. In 1978 he was appointed science adviser to the late-President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat. For many years, he has also been a close friend and associate of Zahi Hawass, until this year the long-time Director of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, with oversight over all of the ancient monuments such as the Sphinx, the Pyramids, Luxor, etc. Farouk El-Baz’s brother, Osama El-Baz was also a senior advisor to Hosni Mubarak, the recently deposed, former dictator of Egypt. So he and his family are very well connected politically. Since his NASA days, Farouk El-Baz has held a variety of high level, prestigious, scientific and engineering positions. He currently is Research Professor and Director of the Center for Remote Sensing at Boston University.
But to come to the point, why was he suddenly brought into the very highest level of NASA in 1967? Remember that in that era NASA was being run at the highest levels by a NAZI SS faction and also had a strong tie to 33rd degree Scottish Rite Free Masonry, which traces its roots back to ancient Egypt.
The obvious conclusion is that Farouk El-Baz was groomed as a young man to be the point man between the 33rd degree Masons, the NAZIs and the hidden political power structure behind the Apollo program (whatever that may have been). El-Baz must have been uniquely privy to esoteric Egyptian information or lore that both the NAZIs and the 33rd degree Masons accepted as crucial to the success of the Apollo program. How else to explain his highly improbable, meteoric rise to such great scientific power, prestige and influence at the young age of 29 years?
The German connection is there in his two years at Heidelberg University in 1964-1965. Remember that the period 1960-1966 was also the time of the Egyptian Project Paperclip, when hundreds of NAZI engineers and scientists were brought to Egypt by Gamal Nasser, to run his rocket and missile program at Heliopolis. It is an absolute certainty that these German scientists and engineers personally knew their Project Paperclip counterparts in the USA. This was only 15 to 20 years after WW II and a great many of them would have worked together during the Third Reich, at places like Peenemuende.
I doubt that it is a coincidence that the last director of Sakr Factory 333, in the period of 1965-1966 or so, was Eugen Saenger, the father of the technology that ultimately resulted in NASA’s space shuttle program. Saenger started working on this concept all the way back in the 1930s and 1940s, during the Third Reich. In Saenger’s scheme the manned orbital unit was called Horus. Of course, Horus is one of the best known Gods of ancient Egypt. I don’t know how all of this fits together, but it can’t be coincidental that Eugen Saenger turned up in Egypt the year before Farouk El-Baz was sent from Egypt to the USA to collaborate with Saenger’s “ex”-NAZI colleagues on NASA’s Apollo program.
The obvious Masonic connection is there in the numerical designation of Factory 333 as the R&D site of Nasser’s “ex”-NAZI-led missile and rocket program. To this day, the successor factory has a P.O. Box 33, a conspicuous 33rd degree Masonic calling card.
Conclusions
There is no question that there is a highly secretive, furtive, stealthy, immensely well-funded, exotically high-tech, parallel society that has a vampiric or parasitic relationship to the broader society in which most contemporary Earth humans live. This parallel society has constructed numerous underground and undersea bases and tunnel complexes, both in the USA and elsewhere around the world. It has also developed non-conventional electrogravitic and antigravity technologies. It has an extensive footprint off the planet, as well as underground and undersea here on Earth. It has likely established bases and/or colonies on the Moon and Mars, and perhaps farther afield than that. It probably has a working relationship with one or more extraterrestrial species or civilizations. It is sucking money and raw resources out of the global economy like nobody’s business.
The NAZIs are involved, high-level Masonic factions are involved, major corporations and military agencies are involved, the big banks and financial institutions are involved, espionage agencies such as the CIA and NSA are involved, and for all I know secretive factions of certain Mormon and Roman Catholic organizations are involved, too. This is just a partial list of some of the likely players in this scenario. Clearly this network extends beyond the USA, indeed it supersedes the official policy and power apparatus of the USA government and military agencies, or of any other government or military institutions. The typical American president or senator is likely to know comparatively little (maybe even nothing) about these matters. In fact, I probably know more about these things than the vast majority of politicians do, not because of any unique quality or ability I have, but simply because I have inquired into the topic.
I take seriously the idea that these exotic electrogravitic and antigravity technologies also have an effect on the time stream, i.e., that they can be used to engineer or render plastic the flow of time, or the experience of time.
As far as I can see, there is a grand, multi-dimensdional chess game underway, with multiple competing factions contending amongst themselves across a vast stretch of space and time, leaping back and forth, not only spatially, in a geographic sense, but also temporally, skipping back and forth through time, tweaking the sequence of events, endeavoring to guide the whole grand time-space pageant on their preferred trajectory.
I think everything is in play, not just the control and destiny of this planet, or of this solar system, but conceivably of the whole galaxy, and beyond. This is a high stakes match for keeps, a power play for all the marbles.
In that regard, the year 2012 looks to be shaping up as an especially crucial year in this tangled equation. The wild card is the collective or planetary consciousness of the great mass of humanity.
How many people are there who are awake, or awakening? And exactly how awake and aware are they? What will humanity do as greater and greater numbers of people awaken? How does that affect the flow of the game?
Does that potentially create a checkmate, and a resetting of the multi-dimensional chess board? Perhaps the abrupt abandonment en masse of the chess match entirely, in favor of a wholly different approach to life and time-space?
To wit: we, the great mass of contemporary humanity on planet Earth, have been, and are now still being massively lied to. What are we going to do about that?
I don't know but I saw this guy on like 6 forums on FB today.
Obama Nominates Carlyle Group Partner to The Federal Reserve
Tuesday, December 27, 2011
Dees Illustration
Activist Post
http://www.activistpost.com/2011/12/obama-nominates-carlyle-group-partner.html
While on vacation in Hawaii, Obama tapped Jerome Powell to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Powel served as the undersecretary for finance under the president George H. W. Bush and was a partner of The Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is a massive private equity firm and one of the largest defense contractors in the world.
They're made up of some of the most influential policymakers over the last five administrations including both Bush presidents, former Secretary of State James Baker III, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, former Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, and former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt to name a few.
Other notable investors in The Carlyle Group include the bin Laden family and the Saudi Royal Family. Coincidentally, George H. W. Bush was meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington on the morning of September 11th with one of Osama Bin Laden's brothers.
Watch the documentary below for some more background on the Carlyle Group:
This is not the first time Barack Obama has placed Bush Sr.'s minions into influential positions. In August 2010, Daniel F. Akerson, a managing director of the Carlyle Group, in what was called a "surprise move" was named the CEO of General Motors (GM), otherwise known as Government Motors.
Once again, Obama reveals that change will remain absent under his leadership, and the military-industrial complex will continue to garner powerful positions during his administration.

Another quite interesting and revealing Ben post here. It sounds from what he reports here, that we are in the last act of this dark old global soap opera. Ben gives some of the history behind much of this, from his understanding, and lays it out for all to see. The fact that he puts so much of this type of information out there tells me he knows he is “protected” (whatever that means) and that this dark-oriented group is pretty much out of it, power-wise. Others have likewise reported such (SaLuSa, Montague Keen, Wanderer).
As always, suggest using your Higher Discretion as you read.

The real reason behind the 911 terror was a battle for control of the global collateral accounts
September 13, 2011
Although a decade of research has proven a high level cabal at the top of the Western power structure was behind the 911 terror attacks, few realize the attack was an esoteric battle in a war for control of the global financial system. Fewer still realize the 311 nuclear tsunami attack against Japan was also part of this battle. However, a critical mass of military, law-enforcement, banking and other officials has identified and is about to arrest the culprits behind these and other attacks. The search for the ultimate culprits led to something known as the global collateral accounts and a high level group of conspirators that illegally took them over. These accounts are backed by the pooled assets of many of the world’s governments and were meant to be used to finance peaceful development. Instead, they were mostly misspent on war by a group of misguided oligarchs concentrated in the financial, military, oil and (to a lesser extent) pharmaceutical industries.
According to a US intelligence group that has been on this case for some time, the top cabalists include George Bushes Jr.&Sr, Henry (Heinz) Kissinger, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Senator J. Rockefeller, Paul Wolfowitz, Frank Carlucci, Donald Rumsfeld, Tony Blair and the Pope. Of course there were many thousands of working below them or else above them in the shadows who were in on the scheme. The intelligence and police agencies of the world have now obtained the codes for the global collateral accounts and can trace in detail who has been using these funds, and for what purpose, ever since they were hijacked in the 1950’s.
The main plot line, for those of readers who still do not have the big picture, goes back to the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944. At that time England, France and the US were supposed to run the global financial system for a 50-year period ending in 1994. However, in the 1950’s it became clear these countries were not going to keep their promises of Marshal Plans to develop Asia and Africa. Instead they wanted to finance a dialectical fake “cold war” between the Soviets and the “Western World,” in order to benefit the military, oil and related industries.
When U.S. President John F. Kennedy agreed with the 77-nation non-aligned group to create US treasury dollars to finance the development of the third world and a trip to the moon, he was killed. Over the coming decades other non-aligned leaders were also killed, hounded out of power or intimidated into silence.
The cold war was wound down and the Soviet Union was dismantled in the run up to the end of the US/French/British Bretton Woods financial mandates. However, the esoteric group at the top of the financial system could not agree on what was to come next.
The Chinese and their non-aligned allies around the world rightly argued that their turn had come. Furthermore, they were armed with multi-trillion dollar certificates of various sorts given to them by the Western Powers.
In one example, in 1938 7 US warships took vast amounts of Chinese gold to the US in order to keep it out of Japanese hands. In exchange the Chinese were given Treasury bonds that expired in 60-years or 1998. When that time came, the Chinese owners asked for their gold back but the owners of the Federal Reserve Board refused. The Feds were sued at the International Court of Justice in the Hague and lost.
The owners of the Fed were supposed to hand back the first shipment of gold on September 12th, 2001. As those of us who are not brainwashed understand, the Feds gave the world the “finger,” on September 11, 2001 and instead embarked on a vast new military build-up intended to replace the cold war.
The problem with this fake war on terror is that it required the rest of the world to continue financing the US military industrial complex. That was predicated on the complex being able to maintain control over oil, the lifeblood of the 20th century economy.
When Putin kicked the cabalists out of Russia, suddenly the cabal’s control over oil, and thus their stranglehold over much of the world’s economy, began to collapse.
The battle has now raged on for a decade. The 911 attack on the US was followed up by the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan aimed at stealing oil and obtaining illegal drug money.
However, the entire plan began to crumble after 2006 when the Chinese began to stop buying US Treasury certificates. The cabal tried to counter this by jacking up food and oil prices. When that failed and a counterattack known as the “Lehman Shock” took place, they started sucking up to China and trying to bribe top Chinese officials with promises of a global Chinese dictatorship (in partnership with the cabal). This was seen in the news as US President Obama going to China in 2009 and offering a “G2.”
More action took place in June of 2009 when two Japanese carrying $134.5 billion of various bonds were seized in Italy and had their bonds taken. US military and law enforcement types followed the trail to an organization known as the OITC and a Cambodian royal family member by the name of R.C. Dam who theoretical was the legal signator to the global collateral accounts. From there the trail led to cabal members located at the very top of the Western power structure.
Fearing arrest or more, a menagerie of top members of the Western Who’s Who popped out of the woodwork trying to cut deals and offering secrets.
Until this mess can be sorted out, a freeze has been put out at the very highest levels of the global financial system. This is what is ultimately behind the recent financial turmoil seen around the world. Because of the incredibly sensitive nature of the situation, a blanket of secrecy has been put in place until this mess can be sorted out.
The best intelligence available says that many cabal members will be put in jail while many others, who are judged to have sincerely worked with the greater good in mind, will be allowed to stay free and stay rich.
There will also be some sort of announcements to the global public at large about what has been going on. Humanity will then enter uncharted waters.

Iowa GOP moving vote-count to 'undisclosed location'
Comments (110) By JONATHAN MARTIN | 12/27/11 7:15 PM EST
(you just can't make this shit up)
http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2011/12/iowa-gop-moving-votecount-to-undisclosed-location-108812.html
Threats to disrupt the Iowa Republican caucuses next week have prompted state GOP officials to move the vote tabulation to an "undisclosed location," POLITICO has learned.
The state party has not yet told the campaigns exactly where the returns will be added up, only that it will be off-site from the Iowa GOP's Des Moines headquarters. The 2008 caucus results were tabulated at the state party offices, which sit just a few blocks from the state capitol.
Activist groups including the Occupy movement have indicated that they'll attempt to interrupt rallies in the closing days before next Tuesday's caucuses.
The AP reported today that Occupy is making plans to even attend some caucuses and vote "no preference," but not disturb the voting process.
But Iowa Republicans are also bracing for other threats, sources say, including hacking.
Iowa GOP Chair Matt Strawn wouldn't comment on the plan to move the vote-counting except to say they're increasing security measures.
"The Iowa GOP is taking additional safeguards to ensure the Caucus results are tabulated and reported to the public in an accurate and timely manner," Strawn said. "We are not commenting on specific security procedures."

Ruins in Georgia mountains show evidence of Maya connection
Richard Thornton, Architecture & Design Examiner
December 21, 2011
(lot of controversy over this one. Look at the arguments in the comments section)
http://www.examiner.com/architecture-design-in-national/massive-1-100-year-old-maya-site-discovered-georgia-s-mountains
Archaeological zone 9UN367 at Track Rock Gap, near Georgia’s highest mountain, Brasstown Bald, is a half mile (800 m) square and rises 700 feet (213 m) in elevation up a steep mountainside. Visible are at least 154 stone masonry walls for agricultural terraces, plus evidence of a sophisticated irrigation system and ruins of several other stone structures. Much more may be hidden underground. It is possibly the site of the fabled city of Yupaha, which Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto failed to find in 1540, and certainly one of the most important archaeological discoveries in recent times.
Note: Due to the extreme popularity - and controversy - of this article, the Examiner has created a sequal, which describes in detail the research methodology used by these Native American scholars, and invites readers to submit scientific evidence that either proves or disproves the interpretations of the Track Rock terrace complex by Native American scholars. It is entitled, Mayas in the USA controversy . . . you be the juror. The linkage to this article is at the bottom of the page.

BLAIRSVILLE, GA (December 21, 2011) -- Around the year 800 AD the flourishing Maya civilization of Central America suddenly began a rapid collapse. A series of catastrophic volcanic eruptions were followed by two long periods of extreme drought conditions and unending wars between city states.
Cities and agricultural villages in the fertile, abundantly watered, Maya Highlands were the first to be abandoned. Here, for 16 centuries, Itza Maya farmers produced an abundance of food on mountainside terraces. Their agricultural surpluses made possible the rise of great cities in the Maya Lowlands and Yucatan Peninsula. When the combination of volcanic eruptions, wars and drought erased the abundance of food, famines struck the densely populated Maya Lowlands. Within a century, most of the cities were abandoned. However, some of the cities in the far north were taken over by the Itza Maya and thrived for two more centuries.
In 1839, English architect, Frederick Catherwood, and writer, John Stephens “rediscovered’ the Maya civilization on a two-year journey through southern Mexico. When their book on the journey was published in 1841, readers in Europe and North America were astounded that the indigenous peoples of the Americas could produce such an advanced culture. Architects in both continents immediately recognized the strong similarity in the architectural forms and town plans between southern Mexico and the Southeastern United States. Most agronomists were convinced that corn, beans and tobacco came to the natives of the United States and Canada from Mexico.
In the decades since Catherwood’s and Stephens’ book, archaeologists have not identified any ruins in the United States which they considered to be built by a people who had originated in Mexico. This was primarily due to their unfamiliarity with the descendants of the Southeastern mound-builders -- tribes such as the Creeks, Alabamas, Natchez, Chitimachas and Choctaws. In particular, the languages of the Creek Indians contain many Mesoamerican words.
Historians, architects and archaeologists have speculated for 170 years what happened to the Maya people. Within a few decades, the population of the region declined by about 15 million. Archaeologists could not find any region of Mexico or Central America that evidenced a significant immigration of Mayas during this period, except in Tamaulipas, which is a Mexican state that borders Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. However, Maya influence there, seemed to be limited to a few coastal trading centers. Where did the Maya refugees go? By the early 21st century, archaeologists had concluded that they didn’t go anywhere. They had died en masse.
The evidence was always there
In 1715 a Jewish lass named Liube, inscribed her name and the date on a boulder in Track Rock Gap. When Europeans first settled the Georgia Mountains in the early 1800s, they observed hundreds of fieldstone ruins, generally located either on mountaintops or the sides of mountains. These ruins consisted of fort-like circular structures, walls, Indian mounds veneered in stone, walls, terrace retaining walls or just piles of stones. Frontiersmen generally attributed these structures to the Indians, but the Cherokees, who briefly lived in the region in the late 1700s and early 1800s, at that time denied being their builders.
By the mid-20th century many Georgians held little reverence for Native American structures. Dozens of Indian mounds and stone masonry structures were scooped up by highway contractors to use in the construction of highways being funded by the Roosevelt Administration. Providing jobs and cheap construction materials seemed more important in the Depression than preserving the past.
During the late 20th century, the Georgia state government took an active role in preserving some of the stone ruins. Archaeologists surveyed a few sites. One of the better known ruins became Fort Mountain State Park. For the most part, however, the stone ruins remained outside the public consciousness.
In 1999 archaeologist Mark Williams of the University of Georgia and Director of the LAMAR Institute, led an archaeological survey of the Kenimer Mound, which is on the southeast side of Brasstown Bald in the Nacoochee Valley. Residents in the nearby village of Sautee generally assume that the massive five-sided pyramidal mound is a large wooded hill. Williams found that the mound had been partially sculpted out of an existing hill then sculpted into a final form with clay. He estimated the construction date to be no later than 900 AD. Williams was unable to determine who built the mound.
Williams is a highly respected specialist in Southeastern archaeology so there was a Maya connection that he did not know about. The earliest maps show the name Itsate, for both a native village at Sautee and another five miles away at the location of the popular resort of Helen, GA. Itsate is what the Itza Mayas called themselves. Also, among all indigenous peoples of the Americas, only the Itza Mayas and the ancestors of the Creek Indians in Georgia built five-side earthen pyramids as their principal mounds. It was commonplace for the Itza Maya to sculpt a hill into a pentagonal mound. There are dozens of such structures in Central America.
The name of Brasstown Bald Mountain is itself, strong evidence of a Maya presence. A Cherokee village near the mountain was named Itsa-ye, when Protestant missionaries arrived in the 1820s. The missionaries mistranslated “Itsaye” to mean “brass.” They added “town” and soon the village was known as Brasstown. Itsa-ye, when translated into English, means “Place of the Itza (Maya).”
Into this scenario stepped retired engineer, Cary Waldrup, who lives near Track Rock Gap. In 2000 he persuaded the United States Forest Service to hire a professional archaeologist from South Africa, Johannes Loubser, to study the famous Track Rock petroglyphs, and also prepare a map of the stone walls across the creek in site 9UN367. Waldrup and his neighbors felt that the stone structure site deserved more professional attention. They collected contributions from interested citizens in Union County, GA to fund an archaeological survey by Loubser’s firm, Stratum Unlimited, LLC.
Loubser’s work was severely restricted by his available budget, but his discoveries “opened up the door” for future archaeological investigations. His firm dug two test pits under stone structures to obtain soil samples. In conjunction with the highly respected archaeological firm of New South Associates in Stone Mountain, GA he obtained radiocarbon dates for the oldest layer of fill soil in a test pit, going back around 1000 AD. He also found pottery shards from many periods of history. Loubser estimated that some of the shards were made around 760 AD – 850 AD. This is exactly when Maya population began to plummet.
Loubser described the 9UN367 archaeological site as being unique in the United States, and stated that examples of such sites are only found elsewhere in the Maya Highlands and South America. However, he did not present an explanation for who built the stone walls. He was in a conundrum. The Eastern Band of Cherokees had labeled Track Rock Gap as a “Cherokee Heritage Sacred Site.” He had been led to believe that the area had occupied by the Cherokee Indians for many centuries, yet he also knew that the Cherokees never built large scale public works. In fact, the Cherokees established a handful of hamlets in the extreme northeastern tip of Georgia during the 1700s, but the western side of Brasstown Bald Mountain, where Track Rock is located, was not official Cherokee territory until 1793.
Shared research between scholars
The People of One Fire is an alliance of Native American scholars (and their archaeologist friends) that was formed in 2006 after the Georgia Department of Transportation refused to retract a press release which blatantly contradicted several studies by nationally respected archaeologists. Much of its research has focused on tracing the movement of people, ideas and cultivated plants from Mesoamerica and Caribbean Basin to North America. By instantly sharing research rather than hoarding information, very rapid advances have been made in the past five years concerning the history of the indigenous people of North America.
The archaeological site would have been particularly attractive to Mayas because it contains an apparently dormant volcano fumarole that reaches down into the bowels of the earth. People of One Fire researchers have been aware since 2010 that when the English arrived in the Southeast, there were numerous Native American towns named Itsate in Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and western North Carolina. They were also aware that both the Itza Mayas of Central America and the Hitchiti Creeks of the Southeast actually called themselves Itsate . . . and pronounced the word the same way. The Itsate Creeks used many Maya and Totonac words. Their architecture was identical to that of Maya commoners. The pottery at Ocmulgee National Monument (c 900 AD) in central Georgia is virtually identical to the Maya Plain Red pottery made by Maya Commoners. However, for archaeologists to be convinced that some Mayas immigrated to the Southeast, an archaeological site was needed that clearly was typical of Mesoamerica, but not of the United States.
In July of 2011, Waldrup furnished a copy of the 2000 Stratum Unlimited, LLC archaeological report to People of One Fire members. Those with experiences at Maya town sites instantly recognized that the Track Rock stone structures were identical in form to numerous agricultural terrace sites in Chiapas, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras. Johannes Loubser’s radiocarbon dates exactly matched the diaspora from the Maya lands and the sudden appearance of large towns with Mesoamerican characteristics in Georgia, Alabama and southeastern Tennessee. Track Rock Gap was the “missing link” that archaeologists and architects had been seeking since 1841.
Archaeologists have been looking for vestiges of “high” Maya civilization in the United States, when all along it was the commoners “who got the heck out of Dodge City” when wars, famines, droughts and almost non-stop volcanic eruptions became unbearable. The Itza Maya middle class and commoners became the elite of such towns as Waka (Ocmulgee National Monument) and Etalwa (Etowah Mounds) Just as happened in England after the Norman Invasion, the separate cultures of the commoners and nobility of the indigenous Southeast eventually blended into hybrid cultures that became our current Native American tribes.
A personal note from the author:
The first "real" archaeologist to realize a direct connection between Mexico and the Southeast was Dr. Roman Piña-Chan, Director of the Museo Nacional de Antropologia de Mexico . . . and also one of the greatest archaeologists, who ever lived. I was just a dumb Gringo student and he was the coordinator of my fellowship. I sat in his office many a time in complete awe, as he pointed out such things as the copper crown worn by the "Great Suns" in Southeastern towns being identical to the crown worn by the Maya Sun God. Among his other observations was that the turbans worn by the famous marble statues found at Etowah Mounds, were exactly like the "badges" worn by Maya slaves. In fact, the first time he noticed the connection was with this comment, "Ricardo, why did your Indios make marble statues of slaves?" It is a shame that more "real" American archaeologists didn't stop by his office when he was alive.
There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever of a Maya presence in Georgia. He is typing on this computer right now. Like most Georgia and South Carolina Creeks, I carry a trace of Maya DNA. I think you will find that some branches of the Seminoles and Cherokees also carry Maya DNA. There are many Maya and Totonac words in the Creek languages. The Creek house (chiki) was identical to the Totonac house (also called chiki.)
The people whom Georgia archaeologists call Hitchiti Creeks, called themselves, Itsate . . . pronounced It-zja-tee. The people that are generally called today Itza Maya, formerly called themselves Itsate . . . pronounced It-zja-tee. On my desk are site plans produced by archeological teams from several major universities that describe pentagonal earthen mounds built by the Itza Mayas in Chiapas and Belize, which are identical to those in Georgia, such as the Kenimer Mound. In short, if it builds the same buildings as the Itza Maya, says the same words as the Itza Maya, and has the same DNA as the Itza Maya . . . by golly, it must be an Itza Maya.
Getting There
The Track Rock Gap Archaeological Zone and Petroglyphs are owned by the citizens of the United States and protected by the United States Forestry Service. The archaeological zone is open to the public year-round and may be accessed by a network of trails requiring rigorous hiking. Both the Creek and Cherokee Indians consider this place to be a very sacred, so please be respectful. By Federal law, the ruins and petroglyphs may not be disturbed in any way.
Winter is the best time to view the stone structures, but the region can get significant snow storms. Check the weather report before leaving home. To obtain information on the hiking trails contact either the Chattahoochee Forest Visitors Center in Blairsville, GA at 706-745-6928 or the main office of the Chattahoochee National Forest in Gainesville, GA at 770-297-3000. Information on accommodations near Track Rock Gap can be obtained from the Blairsville Area Chamber of Commerce at 877-745-5789. The region is a major tourist destination, so there are plenty of restaurants, motels and bed & breakfast homes available.
If you have questions about Native American history, please contact Richard at NativeQuestion@aol.com. These questions will be answered on his Native American History page.
Richard Thornton has written a book on the Archaeological Site 9UN367 and the evidence of the immigration of Mesoamerican refugees to North America. It will be available from the publisher in early January 2012, and is entitled, “Itsapa . . . the Itza Mayas in North America.” The book includes over 250 full color, virtual reality images and photographs, including pictures of identical Maya agricultural terrace sites in Chiapas, Guatemala, Campeche and Belize. Indiana film maker John Haskell is also producing a documentary film on the Maya diaspora.
The previously unknown story is fascinating. For example, the famous “eye on hand” motif found on Native American art throughout the Southeast and Midwest is the symbol of the Maya’s supreme deity, Hunab-ku.

Dec. 23 Update: The article headline was revised to clarify that the connection between the Georgia ruins and the ancient Maya is still a matter of debate rather than universally accepted fact.
Ancient Ruins Found in Antarctica
by Science News Staff on 31 March 1998

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/1998/03/31-01.html?ref=hp#gif
DURAK, ARGENTINA--Scientists have uncovered the remains of a massive stone structure and other artifacts, estimated to be 4000 years (doubt that) old, in a remote corner of Antarctica. The find, announced at a press conference here today, is the first evidence of ancient civilization on the icy continent and is being hailed as one of the most important archaeological digs of the century.
Working in dwindling light just before Antarctica's first sunset of the year in mid-February, a team led by geologist Scott Amundsen of Wyoming State University came across the rubble of a stone building roughly the size of Rome's ancient amphitheater. "One of my students tripped over a squat pentagonal block while we were hiking up near Doubleday Glacier," Amundsen says. Doubleday has been receding at an estimated 3 meters per year for the last century, and the last geologic expeditions visited the site in the 1920s. "Previous researchers could have easily missed it," Amundsen says.
The team worked deep into March, well after the normal end of the field season. "We survived on show tunes and s'mores," Amundsen says. "And of course the anticipation of what we'd find the next day." So far the researchers have uncovered the foundations of a massive columned structure that may have stood as high as 30 meters, says group member Harvey Sampson, who last year had proved by DNA analysis that Piltdown Man was not an elaborate hoax but in fact the skeleton of the murdered St. Nicholas, the last Russian Tsar (ScienceNOW, 1 April 1997).
Antarctica's bone-dry atmosphere has also preserved many artifacts, including coins that feature penguins and an unknown reptile, peanut shells, sticks resembling baseball bats, and seal-hide balls. "I know they couldn't have been playing baseball back then," says Sampson. "But we were so elated that we sung the national anthem anyway." He speculates that the thin air above Doubleday Stadium--the team's nickname for the site--"must have made it a hitters' park. The ball would have sailed."
The find has stunned experts, who had presumed that no person had set foot on Antarctica until the 1800s. "I simply don't believe it," says archaeologist H. P. Lovelock of the University of Dallas, Fort Worth, well known for his work in the Transantarctic Mountains. Other experts laud the discovery. Says Joe Konyu of the Southwest Archaeological Institute, "Forget Noah's Ark and Atlantis: this is as good as it gets."
Yes but it was more than 10,000 years ago and hardly anyone remembers.
Montanans Launch Recall of Senators Who Approved NDAA Military Detention.
Merry Christmas, US Senate
byRalph Lopez
SUN DEC 25, 2011 AT 01:33 PM PST
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/12/25/1048711/-Montanans-Launch-Recall-of-Senators-Who-Approved-NDAA-Military-Detention-Merry-Christmas,-US-Senate
Moving quickly on Christmas Day after the US Senate voted 86 - 14 to pass the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011 (NDAA) which allows for the indefinite military detention of American citizens without charge or trial, Montanans have announced the launch of recall campaigns against Senators Max Baucus and Jonathan Tester, who voted for the bill.
Montana is one of nine states with provisions that say that the right of recall extends to recalling members of its federal congressional delegation, pursuant to Montana Code 2-16-603, on the grounds of physical or mental lack of fitness, incompetence, violation of oath of office, official misconduct, or conviction of certain felony offenses.
Section 2 of Montana Code 2-16-603 reads:
"(2) A public officer holding an elective office may be recalled by the qualified electors entitled to vote for the elective officer's successor."
The website Ballotpedia.org cites eight other states which allow for the recall of elected federal officials: Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wisconsin. New Jersey's federal recall law was struck down when a NJ state judge ruled that "the federal Constitution does not allow states the power to recall U.S. senators," despite the fact the Constitution explicitly allows, by not disallowing ("prohibited" in the Tenth Amendment,) the states the power to recall US senators and congressmen:
"The powers not...prohibited...are reserved to the States...or to the people." - Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The issue of federal official recall has never reached the federal courts.
Montana law requires grounds for recall to be stated which show conformity to the allowed grounds for recall. The draft language of the Montana petitions, "reason for recall" reads:
"The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees all U.S citizens:
"a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed..."
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2011 (NDAA 2011) permanently abolishes the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial, "for the duration of hostilities" in the War on Terror, which was defined by President George W. Bush as "task which does not end" to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001.
Those who voted Aye on December 15th, 2011, Bill of Rights Day, for NDAA 2011 have attempted to grant powers which cannot be granted, which violate both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
The Montana Recall Act stipulates that officials including US senators can only be recalled for physical or mental lack of fitness, incompetence, violation of the oath of office, official misconduct, or conviction of a felony offense. We the undersigned call for a recall election to be held for Senator Max S. Baucus [and Senator Jonathan Tester] and charge that he has violated his oath of office, to protect and defend the United States Constitution."
Montana residents William Crain and Stewart Rhodes are spearheading the drive. Mr. Crain is an artist. Mr. Rhodes is an attorney, Yale Law School graduate, and the national president of the organization Oath Keepers, who are military and law enforcement officers, both former and active duty, who vow to uphold their Oath to the US Constitution and to disobey illegal orders which constitute attacks on their fellow citizens. Rhodes said:
"These politicians from both parties betrayed our trust, and violated the oath they took to defend the Constitution. It's not about the left or right, it's about our Bill of Rights. Without the Bill of Rights, there is no America. It is the Crown Jewel of our Constitution, and the high-water mark of Western Civilization."
Rhodes noted that:
"Two time Medal of Honor winner Marine General Smedley Butler once said "There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights." Time to fight. "
Butler famously ended his career as a Marine General by touring the country with his speech and book denouncing war, "War is a Racket."Butler confessed that he had spent most of his life as a "high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers...a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism..."
Eighteen states at present have recall laws, most of which do not apply to federal officials. For these and other states to recall federal officials, state legislatures would have to first pass or amend such laws.
Rising on the House floor to oppose the bill based on the military detention provisions for Americans, Rep. Tom McClintock said before the House vote:
" today, we who have sworn fealty to that Constitution sit to consider a bill that affirms a power contained in no law and that has the full potential to crack the very foundation of American liberty."
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said in opposing the final NDAA:
”This bill also contains misguided provisions that in the name of fighting terrorism essentially authorize the indefinite imprisonment of American citizens without charges.”
And in a New York Times op-ed piece by two retired four-star U.S. Marine generals, Charles Krulak and Joseph Hoar, Krulak and Hoar said that "Due process would be a thing of the past."
Montana would be the first recall drive to be launched as a result of the vote for the NDAA military detentions provisions. A number of Facebook pages appeared after the passage of the bill from locations across the country.

Chilling Her Softly
The secret silencing of a pain treatment activist
Jacob Sullum | November 17, 2010
http://reason.com/archives/2010/11/17/chilling-her-softly
"Reynolds, who founded the Pain Relief Network (PRN) in 2003 to highlight the chilling effect of drug law enforcement on the practice of medicine, evidently has a talent for getting under the skin of people in power. But that is not a crime. By treating it as such, Treadway has used grand jury secrecy to cloak an unconstitutional vendetta."
From her website
http://www.siobhanreynolds.com/
"I started my organization, the Pain Relief Network, on the premise that the courts would uphold the essential political structure of our nation and that we could end these disgraceful and damaging physician prosecutions by asserting federalist principles articulated in the 9th and 10th Amendments to the United States Constitution. “The CSA’s structure and operation presume and rely upon a functioning medical profession regulated under the States’ police powers,” the US Supreme Court had announced in Ashcroft vs. Oregon, later styled Gonzales vs. Oregon.
I had pinned my hopes on the notion that through working the case law back against the federal government’s campaign to essentially obliterate the distinction between state and federal police powers, we might eventually get to make the same winning constitutional argument to benefit people in pain, as opposed to benefiting those who wanted to be free to end their lives legally and with a physician’s assistance, as was the case in Oregon.
What I didn’t know then, and what I have since come to understand, is that the federal judiciary, for the most part, treats federalism as a kind of quaint anachronism when the notion is brought up in the context of the regulation of medicine by federal law enforcement. Without the support of the federal judiciary to uphold the principles of federalism, or to uphold my First Amendment right to promulgate a strong dissenting opinion in the media, I had to face the fact that there was simply no point in going forward with the Pain Relief Network."

Medical Journal Article: 14,000 U.S. Deaths Tied to Fukushima Reactor Disaster Fallout
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/medical-journal-article--14000-us-deaths-tied-to-fukushima-reactor-disaster-fallout-135859288.html
Impact Seen As Roughly Comparable to Radiation-Related Deaths After Chernobyl; Infants Are Hardest Hit, With Continuing Research Showing Even Higher Possible Death Count.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This is the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the health hazards of Fukushima.
Authors Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman note that their estimate of 14,000 excess U.S. deaths in the 14 weeks after the Fukushima meltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks after the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. The rise in reported deaths after Fukushima was largest among U.S. infants under age one. The 2010-2011 increase for infant deaths in the spring was 1.8 percent, compared to a decrease of 8.37 percent in the preceding 14 weeks.
The IJHS article will be published Tuesday and will be available online as of 11 a.m. EST at http://www.radiation.org.
Just six days after the disastrous meltdowns struck four reactors at Fukushima on March 11, scientists detected the plume of toxic fallout had arrived over American shores. Subsequent measurements by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found levels of radiation in air, water, and milk hundreds of times above normal across the U.S. The highest detected levels of Iodine-131 in precipitation in the U.S. were as follows (normal is about 2 picocuries I-131 per liter of water): Boise, ID (390); Kansas City (200); Salt Lake City (190); Jacksonville, FL (150); Olympia, WA (125); and Boston, MA (92).
Epidemiologist Joseph Mangano, MPH MBA, said: "This study of Fukushima health hazards is the first to be published in a scientific journal. It raises concerns, and strongly suggests that health studies continue, to understand the true impact of Fukushima in Japan and around the world. Findings are important to the current debate of whether to build new reactors, and how long to keep aging ones in operation."
Mangano is executive director, Radiation and Public Health Project, and the author of 27 peer-reviewed medical journal articles and letters.
Internist and toxicologist Janette Sherman, MD, said: "Based on our continuing research, the actual death count here may be as high as 18,000, with influenza and pneumonia, which were up five-fold in the period in question as a cause of death. Deaths are seen across all ages, but we continue to find that infants are hardest hit because their tissues are rapidly multiplying, they have undeveloped immune systems, and the doses of radioisotopes are proportionally greater than for adults."
Dr. Sherman is an adjunct professor, Western Michigan University, and contributing editor of "Chernobyl - Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment" published by the NY Academy of Sciences in 2009, and author of "Chemical Exposure and Disease and Life's Delicate Balance - Causes and Prevention of Breast Cancer."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issues weekly reports on numbers of deaths for 122 U.S. cities with a population over 100,000, or about 25-30 percent of the U.S. In the 14 weeks after Fukushima fallout arrived in the U.S. (March 20 to June 25), deaths reported to the CDC rose 4.46 percent from the same period in 2010, compared to just 2.34 percent in the 14 weeks prior. Estimated excess deaths during this period for the entire U.S. are about 14,000.

Yes he didn't look very relaxed in this video at all.
A different kind of solar heater.
I got my ass reamed for posting that video on a self proclaimed commie/pinko/socialist FB group........ not for the message but because one of them recognized the guy as a libertarian.
I'm in the middle of moving from one country to the next, packed two entire households and endless paperwork to get the heck out of here over a period of 4 weeks. Just finished packing yesterday and collapsed in a hotel waiting for the moving truck to load it all up Monday. I was too tired to look. I've slept about 16 of the last 20 hrs. Sorry for my laziness. :)~
Can't access the article. I keep getting an error message from the site itself
Just reading the teaser though.......... seems a little early to dive back into that mess to me.
American Detention Has Nothing to do with the War on Terror
Basically you're full of shit and don't know anything but with all of the problems of internet security and every government on the planet needing to secure wireless technology and who is behind this thing it's going to fly. When big guns from Homeland Security and the Dept of the Navy go on sales trips themselves to visit sovereign governments on 5 continents, action is going to happen. Plus they now have both Blackberry and iPhone covered. That was the last important key. Without iPhone it was pointless to go on the road.
It has always bothered me that this and the shear numbers of non-Jewish Germans, Poles etc who died during the war are never talked about. The numbers just dwarfed the number of Jews.
I just heard something recently from someone saying that the Rothschilds are not even Ashkenazi's nor are they even Jews but have been posing as such to deflect scrutiny from themselves specifically and transfer it to this larger group so that their crimes are attributed to the group.
I'm going to have to do some research into that but there aren't enough hours in the day. Has anyone else heard this theory?
He is fascinating to listen to. I wish I had the energy to listen to the whole interview tonight but the law suit alone is pretty damned amazing. This is something to follow for sure.
More from the same guy,
" I have noticed sustained outdoor background daily readings here in suburban Chicago of at least 40 cpm (55 today). I have read that a decent reading of 20-25 cpm is normal background radiation here. The sustained elevation of the background means that fallout has already happened here. It may not cross the line on the safety standard yet, but it's presence here is proof that the meltdown in Japan is effecting everyone and will only get worse with time. I heard Phoenix had a cpm of 800 a few days ago; at least we are not there yet...for now.."
This is from a friend of mine in Marengo IL today (about 60 mi N.W. of Chicago)
"4:31 p.m. central time (Chicago, Ill.) Raining outside and have a 10 minute radiation count on my Inspector Alert, for the rain falling, of 909. That's 90.9 cpm or .909 microsieverts/hr. Our established health limits here (or so they used to be) for counts per minute is 100.
Why is there no information base set up to inform the public that we are being blessed with fallout from somewhere?
My unit measures Alpha and Beta ionized radiation and is calibrated to Cesium 137, which is the most accurate reading the Inspector Alert can read. I assume this is from Fukushima; and although diluted, I am alarmed that the radiation has made it some 6500 miles here.
If it could be found out that this is a domestic radiation plume raining on us, I would be outraged and would encourage everyone to demand accountability for this apparent coverup.
If you live in the Midwestern U.S. Enjoy your "hot rain" today!"
The Shadow War In Syria
Submitted by Pepe Escobar

(this is a most excellent article, hard to believe Pepe stays alive.)
Target Syria - the strategic prize that outstrips Libya. The stage is set. The stakes couldn't be higher. Libya 2.0 equals Syria? It's more like Libya 2.0 remix. With the same R2P ("responsibility to protect") rationale - starring civilians bombed into "democracy". But with no UN Security Council resolution (Russia and China will veto it). Instead, Turkey shines, fanning the flames of civil war.
US Secretary of State Hillary "we came, we saw, he died" Clinton set the scene on Indonesian TV a few weeks ago, when she prophesied there would be "a civil war" in Syria, with a well financed and "well-armed opposition" crammed with army deserters.
Now it's up to NATOGCC to make it happen. NATOGCC is of course the now fully accomplished symbiosis between selected North Atlantic Treaty Organization members such as Britain and France and selected petromonarchies of the Gulf Cooperation Council, aka the Gulf Counter-revolution Club, such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
So feel free to bask in the glow of yet another mercenary paradise.
The NATOGCC war
The Libyans formerly known as rebels, with explicit consent from Transitional National Council (TNC) chairman Mustafa Abdul NATO, aka Jalil, have already shipped to Syria - via Turkey - 600 highly motivated troops fresh from toppling the Gaddafi regime, to fight alongside the Free Syria Army (FSA). This followed a secret meeting in Istanbul between the TNC and the Syrian "rebels", rebranded as Syrian National Council.
The trigger-happy Libyans have access to a wealth of weapons plundered from the Gaddafi's regimes military depots or gently "donated" by NATO and Qatar. A delicious parallel may already be traced with the House of Saud in the 1980s - which gave the green light for hardcore Islamists to go fight in Afghanistan, instead of raising hell at home.
For the TNC, better keep those testosterone-heavy, unemployed warriors away in the Middle East rather than raising hell in Northern Africa. And for NATO member Turkey, in the absence of war (blame those pesky Russians and Chinese), the next best option is to rely on mercenaries to do the job.
The pressure is relentless. Diplomats in Brussels confirmed to Asia Times Online that NATOGCC operatives have set up a command center in Iskenderun, in Hatay province in Turkey. Crucial Aleppo, in northwest Syria, is very close to the Turkish-Syrian border. The cover story for this command center is to engineer "humanitarian corridors" to Syria.
Although these "humanitarians" come from NATO members US, Canada and France, and GCC members Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE, their cover is that they're only innocent "monitors", and not part of NATO. Needless to say these humanitarians consist of ground, naval, air force and engineering specialists. Their mission: infiltrate northern Syria, especially Idlib, Rastan, Homs but most of all the big prize, Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, with at least 2.5 million people, the majority of which are Sunni and Kurdish.
Even before this news from Brussels, the French satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaine - as well as the Turkish daily Milliyet - had already revealed that commandos from French intelligence and the British MI6 are training the FSA in urban guerrilla techniques, in Hatay in southern Turkey and in Tripoli, in northern Lebanon. Weapons - from shotguns to Israeli machine guns and RPGs - have been smuggled en masse.
It's no secret in Syria that armed gangs - from Salafis to petty criminals - have been attacking regular soldiers, the police and even civilians since the early stages of the protest movement. Of roughly 3,500 people killed during the past seven months, a large number of civilians and more than 1,100 soldiers were killed by these gangs.
And then there are the deserters. So when the Assad regime insists the current Syrian tragedy is to a great extent incited by well-paid and well-armed elements - not to mention mercenaries - at the service of foreign powers, it is essentially correct.
In Homs, a local source tells Asia Times online that as far as the FSA is concerned, "it's clear that they are just a nice media cover for criminals. They had a video of themselves in Baba Amr in which they appeared like complete idiots (here it is, with captions conveniently!). But whoever these kids or guys are, they have lots of support amongst the Sunni population. Also, they are connected within the community, whether rich or poor. A Christian woman who teaches at a private school just outside Homs which has largely Sunni students had her car stopped and stolen by some gang. When she came to Homs she made some phone calls and her car was returned. So whoever stole her car outside city limits had connections to middle to high class people in the city and they were able to return the car. This tells me of the infiltration of the dogma of the revolution in Homs. The 'concept' of FSA is probably supported enough, and just the people of poor areas like Baba Amr, Bayada and Khalidiyya can self-sustain the FSA."
Round up the usual votes
Just as in Libya, the Arab League also duly fulfilled its doormat function for NATOGCC, voting for harsh sanctions that include a freeze of Syrian government assets, no more trade deals with the central bank and no more Arab investment. In short: economic war. The Lebanese paper L'Orient Le Jour politely called it "a political euphemism". Of the 22 League members, 19 voted - Syria was already suspended. Iraq - where the government is majority Shi'ite - and Lebanon - where Hezbollah is part of the government - were the only ones that "dissociated" themselves from the vote.
Meanwhile, the nasty opportunist game of musical chairs - the Syrian version - is also in effect. The Syrian National Council and its Islamist cohorts totally rejected any dialogue with the Bashar al-Assad regime. The secretary-general of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, Riad Chakfi, pulled a "Libyan rebel" and implored the Turkish army to invade northern Syria and establish a buffer zone. Dodgy exiles such as former vice-president Abdelhalim Khaddam - exiled in Paris - and another vice-president, Rifaat al-Assad - exiled in Spain - are under the illusion that the Muslim Brotherhood (which will be the top power in a "new" Syria) would allow them to sit on the throne.
This is downright silly - because the name of the game in a "new" Syria will be the House of Saud. The House of Saud is the crucial link between the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (which is getting closer and closer to taking power); the AKP party in Turkey (which is essentially a Muslim Brotherhood lite); and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. The Saudis are crucial investors in Turkey. They are positioning themselves as major investors in Egypt. And they're dying to become a major investor in "new" Syria.
Then there's the key question of Turkey's game. In the Syrian dossier, Turkey is not a mediator anymore; it has become a brash advocate of regime change. Forget about the Tehran-Damascus-Ankara entente, which was a reality not along ago, in 2010. Forget about soft power and the much-advertised foreign policy of "zero problems with our neighbors", coined by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
Davutoglu himself announced Turkey's own sanctions on Syria - a replay of the Arab League's, with freezing of the government's financial assets and no transactions with the central bank. Davutoglu insists a military buffer zone inside Syria, along the border with Turkey, is "not on the agenda" - but that's exactly what those shady NATOGCC "humanitarian monitors" are up to. Since mid-November Turkish media has been ablaze detailing plans for a no-fly zone in northern Syria and the aforementioned buffer zone stretching as far as Aleppo.
The motive? Ask "prophet" Hillary Clintonz - to foment civil war.
Showdown, Club Med style
In its mad rush to sell the Turkish political model to the majority-Sunni parts of the Arab world (yet the GCC is not buying), Turkey may be severely miscalculating its crucial relations with both Russia and Iran. Around 70% of Turkey's energy is imported from Russia and Iran. Not to mention that both Russia and Iran are fuming with Turkey bowing to NATO pressure to host a radar station as part of missile defense.
(Turkish President Abdullah Gul just went to England this week to have his head patted by the Queen. It's been all over the TV here.)
Russia has very clear ideas about the Syrian scenario. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been more than explicit for weeks now; "We absolutely do not accept a scenario of military intervention in Syria."
Last week's meeting of the deputy foreign ministers of the emergent BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), in Moscow, was unmistakable.
The BRICS essentially drew the red lines. No excuse whatsoever for a foreign intervention in Syria, as in "any external interference in Syria's affairs, not in accordance with the UN Charter, should be excluded." No "bomb bomb Iran"; instead, dialogue and negotiations. And no additional sanctions, deemed "counterproductive". The BRICS clearly see how the Libya scenario is slowly morphing into the modified NATOGCC war.
To add extra sauce, the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov - equipped with nuclear missiles - has already left Murmansk towards the Eastern Mediterranean, alongside the destroyer Admiral Chabanenko and the frigate Ladny. They will arrive at the Tartus naval base, in Syria, in mid-January, and will be met by other ships from the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
Tartus, hosting around 600 military and technicians from the Russian Defense Ministry, is a center of maintenance and refueling for the Russian Black Sea fleet. It will be a thrill to watch whether the Russians will invite members of the George H W Bush Carrier Strike Group - now also in the Eastern Mediterranean - for a volleyball match.
It's fair to argue that masses of Syrians want something other than the Assad regime - but certainly not some variant of humanitarian bombing, not to mention civil war. They saw NATO's legacy in Libya - virtually the whole infrastructure of the country destroyed, cities bombed to dust, tens of thousands of dead and wounded, al-Qaeda-linked fanatics wielding power in Tripoli, widespread ethnic hatred. They don't want a brand new massacre. But NATOGCC does.
WHOA look what almost hit $28.50! What a dive!
Update: It's Not On Just Yet: Iran Denies Earlier Reports:... Iran Closes Straits Of Hormuz, Oil Explodes

HORMUZ STRAIT IS NOT SHUT: IRAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN - Bloomberg
Earlier:
Iran has closed the Straits of Hormuz for military training as was expected yesterday, according to RanSquawk. Oil, and all other commodities, are outtahere.
And entire commodity complex:
And for those curious about more, RanSquawk speculates that the source of the data is a report in the Tehran Times saying that Iran will hold War Games in which it would close the Straits. Unclear if this is what Ran referenced when they said the Straits were already closed.
Highest Efficiency Cobb Rocket Stove Design
rocket mass heaters in a nutshell:
heat your home with 80% to 90% less wood
exhaust is nearly pure steam and CO2 (a little smoke at the beginning)
the heat from one fire can last for days
you can build one in a day and half
folks have built them spending less than $20
(says it is so smoke free that people in cities without any stove pipe are able to burn them inside the house)

Fast, Furious and Outrageous (curiouser and curiouser)
By Volaar
MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2011
http://poorrichards-blog.blogspot.com/2011/12/fast-furious-and-outrageous.html
Wayne Madsen has learned from his contacts within the Beltway intelligence community that Jared Lee Loughner is an “MK-ULTRA” programmed assassin and that US District Judge John Roll and Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords were targetted for assassination. The reason for the decision to target Judge Roll and Congresswoman Giffords has to do with their knowledge
of the malicious and purposeful arming of Mexican drug gangs along the US-Mexico border by US intelligence agency assets in an effort designed to destablize the Mexican government. This towards the end of making Mexico more dependent on US military aid and protection from its private security contractors.
A key quote from Wayne Madsen’s report follows.
“WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009. Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety. Loughner’s was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.
In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels — Sinaloa and Los Zetas — in order to destabilize Mexico. A violence-ridden Mexico makes it more dependent on U.S. military aid and, eventually, the country is seen by Washington as a future virtual U.S. protectorate, whose state PEMEX-controlled oil reserves will be available to U.S. oil companies.”

700% increase in N. Japan Leukemia

(They're not going to be able to build their "back up" Tokyo fast enough before people start deserting the place rather than dying. )
Rumor spreading in Japan says leukemia up 7 times from last year — Champion wrestler who trained in Fukushima diagnosed with acute myelocytic leukemia
MHLW ignores the medical statistics of Fukushima and a part of Miyagi, Fukushima Diary by Mochizuki, December 1, 2011:
Since a few weeks ago, this “harmful rumor” has been spreading on the internet
Date: Nov. 21
Survey of medical association of each local government
April through October
Leukemia cases have increased 7 times since last year
Chairman of medical association said that the connection between unusual increase of leukemia and Fukushima is not clear
60% of the total leukemia cases are acute leukemia (highest ratio since 1978, when they started taking this survey)
80% of the patients are from Northern Japan and the Kanto area
Fukushima has highest rate, then Ibaraki, Tochigi, Tokyo
The Announcement
To clear up this “confusion”, a Japanese citizen asked Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for the truth, to which they replied that they take all patients statistics but that this year they eliminated the data from Fukushima and a part of Miyagi from the whole statistics report.
They say it is to support the reconstruction of Fukushima and Miyagi, but we all know that in reality abandoning the survey only makes the situation worse.
On 3/11, earthquake and Tsunami hit Miyagi and Iwate for most of the part while Fukushima suffers from radiation mostly.
If they really wanted to try to “help reconstruction efforts” (sic), they should eliminate the data of those three prefectures, with Iwate and Miyagi given a higher priority.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare does not give any more specific reasons why.
