Hi,
This is an open letter to my friends and family concerning information
necessary for you to know for our immediate future. Feel free to copy it
and pass it on if you choose.
It's hard to know where to start, and some of you may choose not to believe
the info that follows. It is how-ever going to dominate our existence in
the near future, and you will have to come to terms with it one way or
another. I believe it's almost impossible you will get the truth about
these matters from the powers that be, and in our rip and read corporate
media, true investigative journalism is a myth.
Just for the record, in 1970, I observed a UFO on the north coast of
Tasmania. It was directly outside the house I was in, and was there for
4-5 minutes. It was about 25 feet from where I was. They do exist, they
are not tourists! They have been observed throughout all history.
I have done an immense amount of research into the following info. As far
as I am concerned, it's the truth.
The truth will be your best ally.
Everything that has happened this century, (as opposed to the previous 2
and more thousand years) the technology, the wars, the political
expansionism of Western control, has been a lead up to what's about to
happen shortly.
Hale-Bopp
Currently there is a comet named "Hale-Bopp" out near Jupiter, headed our
way. (Not on a collision course) It makes it's closest approach by earth in
April of 97. It has a number of characteristics that distinguish it from
normal comets. It changes course, emits huge jets of material (250,000
kilometres long!) in symmetrical patterns, that are turned on and off. It
emits it's own light source. It was first noticed in 1993.
The earliest an unknown comet has ever been discovered until Hal-Bopp was 7
months before it's closest approach. Hale-Bopp was observed 44 months
before. This is actually supposed to be impossible under current comet
theory, due to the fact that comets only emit light when they get close and
react with our sun.
There is another object that appears from behind Hale-Bopp at certain
times. This object is 4 times the size of earth, and emits radio signals
that show intelligent origin. This object has been Photographed a number of
times by astronomers. NASA's huge space telescope named "Hubble", stopped
releasing photos of Hale-Bopp in October of 1995, over a year ago. All
major telescopes have not released detailed photos since May this year.
The NASA internet site has only about 5 fuzzy amateur photos since May, yet
there is another smaller comet named "Hyatake" which has hundreds of photos
available. NASA has acknowledged the strange behaviour of the Comet in
it's comet news releases. There have been thousands of people claiming to
have contact with UFOs this year. A common theme from these people is that
there will be a landing of many craft in the near future, maybe even before
Christmas, to make the knowledge of UFO craft and their occupants common
knowledge. For many decades, UFOs have been debunked in the mass media.
This campaign of debunking has been successfully orchestrated by the most
powerful intelligence agencies. Remember, we only took to the skies and
invented radar a relatively short time ago.
There are a number of important issues to consider with contact of others
in the universe.
We as a race have contemplated if we are the only ones in the galaxy. From
the research I've done, the joke seems to be that every star system has
life. NASA recently announced a 3 billion year old fossil confirming life
on mars. This was followed a week later by a similar announcement in
Britain from geologists. What a co-incidence. What they didn't tell you was
that they knew this decades ago. Indeed, I myself read all about it at the
beginning of the year, and was amazed to see it on the front page news,
eight months later. I thought it was old news. You see, it doesn't become
our accepted reality until an official agency calls a press conference and
tells the press to print it. Then the masses accept it as fact. They
recently announced "possible life on Jupiter's moon - Europa". What they
have not told you, that they have known for decades is that there is still
life on mars, Europa and Venus. In the last 18 months they have started
discovering planets orbiting other stars, over a dozen in 18 months, from
nil until that time. Astronomers are now saying that most stars, maybe
even all stars have planets. It is becoming apparent, universe is teaming
with life. Many NASA officials, including astronaughts, have broken their
silence about life not of this planet.
So, this begs the question: Are they good guys or bad guys?
I think, like on earth, there are both. Many of the well documented alien
contact cases ( that won't become fact until NASA or some official agency
calls a press conference. Don't hold your breath, it ain't gonna happen! )
have described some entities that seem to have a spiritual origin. Off
planet beings are aware of each other, and are completely aware of what the
soul/spirit is. So not only is the universe filled with life, but it
encompasses different forms of life, not just physical/biological.
Spiritual beings as well. We have on earth been cut off from the rest of
the universe for a long long time. We are about to be reconnected.
So, this begs the question: Who's going to show up first, the good guys or
the bad guys?
I think it's anyone's guess. There seems to be some power play taking place
between those that want to keep us under control, and those that would tell
us the truth about the Universe. I think we'll have to judge the visitors
by the lies they tell when they get here.
This is why it is so important to know the truth, and ponder this topic.
In the last couple of years, Hollywood, Television and other media (
including the music industry) have pushed the Alien theme hard. Hollywood
has had just this year, Independence day, The Arrival, Star Trek First
Contact, Mars Attacks ( a new one with Jack Nicholson ) and a number of
others. T.V has X Files, 3rd rock from the sun, Star Trek, Sightings and
more. Disneyland has opened an E.T. theme park, claiming openly that
contact is imminent. This is actually part of a campaign. Have you noticed
how much E.T related stuff has come onto the market? Even magazines are
carrying abduction stories without making fun of them.
McDonald Douglas aircraft Corporation are producing anti gravity craft (
flying saucers ) that can get to the moon in no time flat, they have for
many years. They have already had help from off planet intelligence. This
is documented by a number of employees, that these guys are helping with
technology. Very strange things happen when you mess with powerful fields
of gravity. It affects time itself, as well as making things disappear.
The power plants that power these craft develop immense levels of energy
with no pollution. The craft can exceed the speed of light.
There have been sightings of UFOs around a number of recent airline
crashes, including the TWA 800 crash out of New York. It is not out of the
question that these particular UFOs are of human origin, and are part of a
fear based manipulation for future events. ( along with the movie
Independence day )
I have lost count of the number of free energy devices that have been
invented this century, and subverted by whatever means necessary. Just one
avenue of free energy is the fact that there have been a number of cars
designed that actually run on water. I have checked this out, it is
absolutely true. An device called an electrolysis chamber can split water
into hydrogen and oxygen and feed the engine hydrogen fuel instead of
petrol, with absolutely no pollution! And a number of people have designed
electrolysis units that are efficient enough to run our vehicles. People
have been killed to subvert this knowledge. We have become within one human
life-time, totally dependent on oil. As such, we have fought wars for it
(notably the recent Gulf war, killing hundreds of thousands) , built up
huge military industrial complexes to protect our "natural resources", and
it in turn, has polluted our earth to the brink of extinction. We are
brainwashed through the rip and read mass media into thinking this
pollution is because we as a race are too stupid to handle technology. We
carry the burden of guilt for attempting to kill ourselves off..
BUT, you and I and the rest of the planet would vote in a second for clean
in-exhaustible energy. Are we given the opportunity? The truth is, we have
no choice but to use the disgusting technology we have ended up with, The
pollution problem is not your fault!! It is the fault of a system that has
forced this on you, it is totally out of your control, and against anything
you would vote for.
So who controls it?
There are a number of key players involved in this. Notable ones are the
name of Rothschild and Rockefella. Both family Dynasties have been going
for nearly three hundred years.
Under their control is:
The world bank,
International Monetary Fund
American Federal reserve
American Council of Foreign relations
Tri-lateral commission
United Nations
All of the American banking System
All of the the former Soviet Union banking System
Most of the banking system of the rest of the world, excluding China.
The military Industrial complex, both American and former Soviet Union
Media conglomerates ( including Reuters and AAP )
Hollywood
The major intelligence agencies. CIA/Mossad.
The Oil Industry
The list goes on and on, even Sony and Mitsubishi is owned by Rockefella.
Don't believe the myth that Bill Gates is the richest man around.
Rothschild is actually a Trillionaire!
These guys are sick of democracy, and have engineered through the United
Nations, a plan for a World government. They already are the unseen
Government. Part of their agenda is population control. As far out as
that seems, these guys funded both sides of the second world war. They
backed hitler and made a fortune from both sides. Now they've decided there
are too many of us. A number of researchers have found incontrovertible
evidence that Aids and Ebola are actually viruses produced in laboratories
of the biological warfare industry, owned by the fore-mentioned, and
disseminated on purpose!
The plan for world government is well advanced, and close to being
implemented. Suffice to say, the pattern of behaviour of these powerful
manipulators is usually to create a problem, then step in with the
solution. There's much I can say about the details of this plan, but the
bottom line is that there will be a huge economic crash. The biggest. They
can engineer it. On top of that we have this new contact with other races
of the universe. Out of the chaos that ensues, they will offer a solution
that will solve our economic/ecological/alien threat problems; (Problems
they created!) WORLD GOVERNMENT! with a new global currency. "We must
unite against a possible Alien attack", we will be told. A shell shot
bewildered desperate population will see sense in this solution, and will
accept this noble attempt to rebuild the system. That will be the last you
see of freedom.
Recently three huge trading blocks were ratified.
1. NAFTA (North American free trade agreement )
2. The European Economic Union
3. APEC. (Asia Pacific economic union )
The head of the NAFTA block is Bill Clinton. And as you saw in the news
recently, The head of the APEC trading block meeting was Bill Clinton.
Spot the mistake? Not a word of criticism from our media. Does the
Managing Director of General Motors go and conduct the board meetings for
Ford? They are competitors. What is Bill doing in APEC!? Our fearless
leaders must have negotiated hard for that one!
The United Nations already has the power to overturn Australian court
decisions. It also can sign in new agreements (in effect, laws) totally
bypassing the Australian parliament. It already has signed in hundreds.
Bill Clinton actually signed over sovereignty of the U.S. military to the
United Nations at the beginning of this year (96). A large militia
movement in America is continuing to grow. It is estimated to be around a
million strong at this time. They are armed and opposed to the "New World
Order", as the push for world government is known. They are networked
across the United States and have many experienced military personnel
amongst their ranks. These guys are armed, organised, experienced and
deadly serious! Internment camps have been built by the government right
across the U.S. The court case for the suspects in the Oklahoma bombing
tragedy, has turned up so much evidence of intelligence agents being
involved, even the victims families are getting into the act to find out
the truth behind this. There is a concerted effort to discredit the militia
to such a degree that it will be a sinch to round them up and intern them
without public outcry, when the time comes. Clinton also just signed in a
law enabling road blocks to be set up, and cars to be searched for illegal
guns. While in Australia and the U.K. guns are being taken out of the
community.
The theory of evolution can explain many changes through-out species. The
famous example of proof that is offered for Darwinism is that of
butterflies of various colours on a tree trunk. The most obvious
uncamouflaged ones are the first targets to fall prey to birds, thus
resulting in a colour change in a species, a more camouflaged species. Of
course, this applies to humans as well. If Hitler had his way, most of us
would have blonde hair and blue eyes. BUT, did you realise that there is
absolutely no evidence that a bacteria can turn into an elephant! Nor do
the fossil records show any proof that man came from apes. There are
glaring gaps in the fossil records. Scientists are still looking for these
fossils to fill in the gaps, in order to validate the man from apes theory.
Of course, this hasn't stopped the education system teaching it as fact
this century. They also teach that Christopher Columbus discovered the
world was round. Yet I stood next to a globe in Florence, Italy that was
made in 1175. I saw evidence in the Cairo museum of Egyptian Global
knowledge, thousands of years old. In fact ,nearly every ancient
civilisation shows evidence of global knowledge. Chris Columbus was
actually thick as a brick, and thousands of years behind the times. To get
western culture to believe the world was flat, while at the same time,
ships of all cultures were sailing all over the place, took a totalitarian
education process that hid the truth. This is also what has happened re
our knowledge of earth and the rest of the universe.
Consider this:
* An iron cup was recovered in an Oklahoma coal mine
* Metal tube recovered from a 65 million year old chalk pit
* A gold chain encased in a lump of Illinois coal
* A grooved metal sphere taken from a pre - Cambrian mineral deposit
* A nail embedded in sandstone in Scotland.
Items of this nature have been discovered and documented. They totally
disprove the theory that we came from apes, and that we are the first
advanced culture on this planet. Scientists are so tuned into the
education paradigm, they think that these anomalies will somehow, one day,
as if by magic, fit into the history and evolution theory we have been
taught, and continue to teach our young. You cannot put a square peg into
a round hole. Our true history has been erased.
There are many secret societies, throughout different continents, that
have been traced back thousands of years.. They have brought about changes
in governments and in the education system over that time. Freemasonry is a
prominent name that comes to mind. This is not to say that all freemasons
are part of some world control conspiracy. The freemasonry is full of good
people doing good things, who wouldn't hear of such a wild idea. The
trouble with secret societies, be it the CIA,Mafia, or freemasonry is; you
follow orders and are not told the game plan. Compartmentalisation is what
keeps the secrets. You just take a vow of allegiance and do your bit,
probably in the belief that where-ever the orders originate, there's some
wise sage looking after your interests. Incidentally, the mafia and Italian
intelligence agency have a secret society called P2. This organisation was
involved in the murder of the good Pope John Paul a few decades back.
There is a heirachy to these societies that is trans-continental. Control
eminates from a central few. We could call them the Illuminati for want of
a better name, but these guys are so devious that like "Prince" the pop
star, they have no name. Who are they? Rothschild, and Rockefella!
Understand the implications of that; the CIA and Mafia answer to the same
command! All those CIA drug scandals of recent years, including Iran
Contra scandal. Who runs the drug markets of the world? The CIA/Mafia
implications in the JFK assassination - it was both! Now you know who's
toes JFK stepped on!
And what about the space shuttle? It exists solely to keep you stupid!
So, In summing up;
* Stock up on non perishable food.
* If any Alien race shows up with Bill Clinton and tries to tell you they
just stumbled over us recently, and are here to give us free non-polluting
energy to solve our problems, they are lying. (they could have given them
to us anytime throughout history)
* You live beyond this lifetime, and these guys can only manipulate you if
you are in doubt about this. It's also why an alien race never has and
never will wipe us out. It's why they keep you in the dark and tell you
nothing. You are controlled through a fear based society, that has always
been influenced from beyond our earth. At the moment you are almost too
scared to walk down the street, due to the mass media barage of negativity,
which in turn causes a decline. This is no accident. It is the influence
of intelligences more advanced than us. As much as we'd like to think we
were the first ones in the universe to invent TV, if we believe that, it is
a supreme act of human stupidity.
Everything that has happened this century, (as opposed to the previous 2
and more thousand years) particularly the technology, has been a lead up to
what's about to happen shortly. The negative influences on us know that
their control is coming to an end, this is they're last ditch effort before
the end of game siren sounds. Due to the biological/spiritual nature of
life throughout the universe, any open contact with other races eventually
must lead to learning the truth about who you are, where you came from, and
where you are going, a nuts and bolts knowledge and conscious connection of
your powerful soul - a spiritual awakening.
It is about to happen within our lifetime!
We are going home.
The truth shall set us free.

This, if it is correct or not, is nothing unusual in itself. It could be
either a) very large or b) very active.

Wrong, comets don't emit light, period. Comets reflect light, just
like any other non-stellar body in our solar system. Care to explain
how you think it is impossible for the comet to reflect sunlight? Or,
failing that, can you proove that it is emitting light?

Why is this so suprising? Hyakatake has been and gone, I went out and
photographed it myself with my 35mm cammera (got some real nice slides
of it), Hale-Bopp isn't here yet, it's still some way off. Why is it
so suprising that a comet that was photographed by most astronemers
(prof and amateur) has lots of photos available, and a comet that
isn't close enough hasn't?

Rubbish. Look at when the story was released, during the traditional "dry

before.

Yup, this is thanks to new techniques they have developed. Also, remember
that many of those "planets" may indeed turn out not to be planets after
all, but large failed sister stars, sort of like Jupiter but bigger.

That's quite a leap of faith there. Where is the proof that the universe

ROTFL. I knew this one was coming. Sorry, stories of alien beings have
been around a lot longer than that. These days it's just a "hip" subject,
much like disaster movies back in the 70s. These things come in waves.

ISTR reading that the tail and cloud around the nucleus of a comet
(corona?) emit as well as reflect light. Basically ejecta becomes
ionised by cosmic rays and then deionises to emit light (a form of
phosphoresence (sp?) I think, or flouresence (sp?) perhaps). I think
that this has been used to investigate the composition of the ejecta,
emission spectra &c. Other than that I agree.

Pulsars were originally thought to be messages from alien civilisations.
Actually this post did remind me somewhat of "Footfall" by Niven and
Pournelle. Good book and well worth a read, ISBN 0-7221-6339-8 if
you're interested. I think X-Philes = Dreamer fipth.

Hmm, good point, I might have to check up on that. But, you have to
admit, reflected light would be far greater "generated" light (at
least, I would think so).
