2012 Politics I: Crop Circle Prophecies Print E-mail

Tuesday 9 / 9 / 08

Prophecies in wheat called attention to Dec. 21, 2012, and other dates much, much closer. What do they say about major world events, including the election?

NOT AN EASY ARTICLE TO WRITE

The amount of information we’ve had to synthesize in order to get to this point is truly staggering… and it’s not easy to find a place to begin.

2008 may well be recorded as the most substantial year in the history of "crop circles". First of all, they hit the mainstream media with a bigger "splash" than we’ve ever seen before, thanks to a formation that encoded ‘pi’ with multiple-decimal-point accuracy. This was widely covered by media outside the US, and in some cases even within it as well.

Shortly thereafter, for the first time ever, we had a formation that directly, bluntly and unabashedly laid out the alignment of the planets on December 21st, 2012 — the end-date of the Mayan Calendar.

Now that the ‘Circlemakers’ had generated some PR, they wanted to maximize its value and deliver a clear message: "The end of the Mayan Calendar is far from just another ordinary date. Something is going to happen!"

With my own work adding to the weight of data — inspired by the Law of One series — we could append this statement with, "…Something wonderful!"

Sadly, the mainstream media dropped the ball — and in fact, we are the only alternative media source that covered this 2012 formation with any depth.

If that were the extent of the story, this would still be a rather involved piece… but it goes far, far beyond this initial starting point.

LUNAR ECLIPSES — AND AUGUST 16, 2008

For some reason, this year the ‘Circlemakers’ decided to run a repetitive series of diagrams that flagged the importance of lunar eclipses — tying the Mayan Calendar end-date in with a series of dates, some of which were in our very near future.

As early as the second week of July, we were aware of multiple-redunant diagrams pointing to August 16th, 2008, where a near-total lunar eclipse would take place.

Even though we knew this prophecy was out there, we did not publish about it. We were reluctant to speculate as to the potential meaning of this date, widely recorded and time-stamped on the Crop Circle Connector website, until the date itself came and went.

We felt it probably would require some insight to understand why that particular date would be flagged.

To have published about it in advance would have led to all manner of speculation and expectations from you, our audience. Experience has proven that these manifestations are not always so stunningly obvious at first blush — and the more grandiose speculations almost never come to pass.

NO IMMINENT MASS SIGHTINGS ON THE HORIZON

That being said, this multiple-redundant crop-circle message is a lot more sophisticated than — sorry to burst some bubbles here — a single person’s channeled speculation about a mass UFO sighting.

In no way do we wish to insult or criticize anyone. It is a marvelous blessing to be able to speak words that inspire and uplift others. Such gifts should be nourished and supported, not attacked and debased.

Nonetheless, most people who want to read this type of material are looking for an escape — a "big bang," not unlike the huge change in consciousness you experience as an intoxicating drug suddenly "hits" you. Spiritual growth is generally more subtle than this, though ‘activation’ experiences are happening to more and more people on a personal level.

As we’ve been saying to the four or five people a day who are writing in about this particular prophecy, it will never actually happen. There are several reasons for this.

One reason is that the civilizations assisting us at this time would never want to put any one person into a pseudo-Messianic role.

If one person were to prophesy that a mass UFO sighting were to occur, and then it happened, that person would become the closest thing we’ve ever had to a UFO Messiah — and therefore the target of a terrifying amount of cultish behavior.

No one person will ever be given this much leverage over the future of the planet. We’ve joked in the past about the "self-elected Messiah syndrome," i.e. "Christ Complex," but the fact is that great humility and patience is required to do channeling with any degree of skill and accuracy.

The problem here is that the illusory personality self, or ‘ego’ as most of us like to call it, is extremely fragile. No one is immune from having a collapse into self-serving negativity if they are put through enough damage and stress. This is exactly why Lisa Williams travels with four bodyguards around her, as our featured article by Don Wilcock, David’s father, just explained.

Exceptional preparation and purification of the ‘lower self’ is required for even moderate levels of responsibility and trust from the higher forces. I have been keenly aware of this all along, and especially in more recent years.

In fact, my ‘lower self’ has often resented the astonishing degree of crushing initiation I have endured just to maintain and enjoy the level of exposure I have now — and my current publicity is far, far less than I would have if an on-demand UFO sighting were to occur on my watch. This would simply never be done, for the same reason that no single "Jesus Christ Messiah Figure" will ever return to Earth.

The next reason why we will not be seeing a mass UFO sighting like this anytime soon is due to the need to preserve the free will of humanity. Until the world’s population openly welcomes such a visitation, it will not happen.

And no, even though many, many people have been taken in by this prophecy, the principle of "create your own reality" does not apply here. There are cosmic laws at work that prevent this from happening until a global consensus is reached, and / or the grand cycle itself ends on or around December 21, 2012.

Sadly, such fables keep getting cooked up every half-year or so, and a new round of people get taken in by them and are disappointed when nothing happens. Another would-be channel is humiliated in the process.

As explained in the Law of One series, the vast majority of channels have miraculous positive data — which gullible people believe lends 100-percent credibility to the source — blended with negatively-inspired data. This is called a "mixed contact."

Depending on how much of a negative proclivity the channel naturally has, there may be varying degrees of messages of impending doom.

The source will attempt to sound positive while "warning of difficulties ahead." The minute you see a doom-oriented focus in ANY material — no matter how much you may have loved and admired this source in the past — you know there is an active negative influence involved. This is not simply confined to channelers either.

For channels who are not so inclined to pass on messages of doom, they may simply get a bogus prophecy date that comes and goes without incident. The "negative greeting" succeeds by generating hype about something that comes and goes, discrediting and humiliating the channel in the process.

So yes, we’ve heard the rumors — thank you for writing to let us know — and no, nothing is going to happen.

Such prophecies attract enormous attention — it’s the ultimate way for a New Ager to get their fifteen minutes — but then the person issuing them ends up being humiliated when the date comes and goes. Typically their source issues some sort of retraction, but the damage is done.

WHAT ABOUT AUGUST 16TH, SMARTY-PANTS?

At the same time that ‘fake’ prophecy dates are getting huge publicity, the ‘real’ dates — given with multiple redundancy that is not tied to any one person — have been totally ignored. Put bluntly, August 16th may have been very significant — but it also might not be something that will be immediately apparent to everyone.

What could it be? With the benefit of hindsight, we know that the unexpected Russia / Georgia conflict started on August 7/8, 2008, and lasted for eight days. With multiple redundancy, as early as the first week of July, the Circlemakers flagged the exact day this war would end!

Thanks to reliable insider disclosures — all of which you will see and read here — we know exactly why the outcome of this conflict will be seen as so important to our entire future between now and the end of 2012.

Russia’s quick action stopped a military operation which, if it had remained undeterred, could have had very serious geopolitical consequences — even leading to Martial Law and other unpalatable scenarios.

Our prophetic data has consistently reassured us that these doom-and-gloom scenarios, while known and discussed by insiders, will simply never come to pass… and that’s the thrust of this article, if you can hang in there and read the whole piece.

AN IMPORTANT HISTORY LESSON

A little history lesson is important here. Multiple researchers and whistleblowers have concluded the Nazi Party in Germany was a creation of the Rothschild faction of the world power elite — the so-called "Illuminati."

What most people don’t know is that Hitler literally wiped out all the Masonic lodges he could as soon as he rose to power, assassinating their members. He knew this group was the only force with enough secrecy and power to bring him down.

Ultimately, as spy books such as A Man Called Intrepid reveal, Hitler went against his own backers, the Rothschilds. In truth he was only a puppet — raised from an obscure lifestyle as a failed painter into political office. He came to believe his power was real, and began using it in ways other than he was instructed to. Thus his own globalist handlers turned against him.

As a result of his own betrayal of his handlers, Hitler was ultimately tricked into making a rash, impulsive decision — getting the bulk of his remaining army to march on Stalingrad, a Russian city, in the winter. He expected to pillage food, water, supplies and housing along the way.

Instead, everything along the invasion route was destroyed in a slash-and burn policy before the men arrived… no food, little water and no shelter. Hitler’s army literally froze and starved to death in the cold Russian winter, and he was quickly defeated.

This is echoed in the Law of One philosophy, where it is explained that those on the negative path do not enjoy "spiritual protection." They are left open and exposed to "random catalyst" that will upset even the best-laid plans.

TWO FACTIONS

In the aftermath of World War II, the Nazi Party split into two major factions.

The first faction stayed loyal to the Rothschilds and spread out. Some of them relocated to the southern tip of Brazil and other South American locations; others to a highly-advanced secret base in Antarctica called Neuberlin (New Berlin).

The other faction was born in the illicit and illegal support of the Nazi Party by American corporations in the military-industrial complex. This faction requires a bit more explanation to understand.

I learned in my "Contemporary Social Issues" college class in 1992 that Boeing covertly supplied the Nazi bombers, Ford covertly supplied the Nazi tanks, and Ford even repaid Hitler for the damage to their German tank plants when they were destroyed by Allied bombing runs.

Other testimonies furnished a laundry list of many popular names in the military-industrial complex, including ITT, IBM, General Motors and Monsanto.

Of course, this is treason to a level that seems totally insane, but our professor barely blinked when he told us these things, and many different data points of research have validated it in the aftermath.

In fact, it is becoming widely known that Prescott Bush, grandfather of George W. Bush, was one of the chief American financial backers for the Nazi Party. In 1933 he drew up a plan for a coup that would install a Fascist, Nazi-sympathizing government in America.

This was actually covered by the BBC in this radio show, and here is some of the text from that page:

Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by right-wing American businessmen…

The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

Mike Thomson investigates why so little is known about this biggest ever peacetime threat to American democracy.

More detail was documented by Alex Jones in this article and this article, among others.

After the fall of the Nazi Party, many German scientists were transferred to the US via Project Paperclip. They brought their occult teachings and beliefs along with them, as well as all the "tradecraft" that had been devised to seize power in Germany.

In fact, as Naomi Wolf asserts in this article, the tactics of the Bush Administration have been very similar, if not identical, to those which Hitler used:

"A small group of people began very systematically to use the law and dismantle the Constitution and put pressure on citizens to subvert the law - and that opened the door for everything that followed," said Wolf.

"When I started reading, not only are tactics and strategy being reproduced exactly right now by the Bush administration - but actual sound bites and language and images and scenarios are being reproduced," she added.

Wolf’s essay, Fascist America, In 10 Easy Steps, has received plaudits for how it succinctly describes the ways in which dictatorships the world over throughout the 20th century have evolved by following the exact same blueprint for tyranny that we see unfolding in America today.

"Everybody that wants to close down a Democracy does the exact same ten things, the same classic steps — and unfortunately we’re starting to see these ten steps being put in place in the United States," said Wolf.

For the first time publicly, Wolf traced the origins of contemporary developments back to President Bush’s Nazi grandfather, Prescott Bush, and his plan to launch a fascist coup in the 1930’s…

"The family history is that you can make so much money uniting corporate interests with a fascist state that violently represses people. That’s why when I saw the recycling of so much Nazi language, Nazi tactics, Nazi strategies, Nazi imagery in the Bush White House, and then finally belatedly people brought to me this history of Prescott Bush’s attempted coup and Smedley Butler’s revelations - it gives me absolute chills," said Wolf.

The fact that Bush’s grandfather was a Nazi cannot be presented alone as proof that President Bush is carrying on the legacy, but his policies and rhetoric, which in her essay Wolf clearly documents are borrowed from the Nazi playbook — and in particular the recent move to smear administration critics as potential terrorists — are evidence that George W. Bush is the figurehead for a modern-day fascist coup in America led by the Neo-Cons.

Wolf concluded that history shows the only safe course for preserving freedom in such a climate is to prosecute and jail the protagonists of the coup as early as possible, a process many would argue should have been enacted several years ago.

THE ROCKEFELLER FACTION

The American faction can be correctly called the Rockefeller faction. The Rothschilds set up John D. Rockefeller with his oil empire in America, beginning in the early 20th century.

The Rothschilds made a drastic oversight in the process. They did not foresee how profitable oil would become, and how they would end up creating a rival competitor to their own power on the world stage.

Laugh if you will, but based on multiple insider witness testimonies, it appears the Rothschild faction cut a deal with a particular race of off-planet humans known in our history as the Annunaki, no later than the 1920s.

Much of what is described in the Zecharia Sitchin books is accurate, and a joint German / Annunaki base was constructed in Antarctica, with a layer of fake ice built over the top to disguise it. We have a lot of documentation on this that is outside the scope of this article, but will be shared in the future.

Some of the Annunaki are supportive of people on Earth while others want to see our destruction, and this internecine conflict forms a system of checks and balances. Then you also have to factor in that much more advanced civilizations are here acting as protectors, insuring that none of these groups can meddle too strongly with the Earth.

Some Annunaki technology made it into the hands of the Germans, and thereby the Rothschilds, but in fact the Annunaki are fairly primitive compared to many other groups out there visiting Earth at this time.

After World War II, the Rockefeller faction came into possession of off-planet technology of its own, thanks to the Roswell crash and others like it — and this technology vastly exceeded that in the hands of the Rothschilds.

Perhaps the most socially and politically influential technology of all was the so-called "Looking Glass" devices. The humans who emerged from the Roswell crash were carrying cube-shaped devices in their hands and this is where the Rockefeller faction first came into possession of the technology.

With these devices, time is nothing more than a direction you can point in and look through. You can study probable future timelines and determine how strong they are.

A MAJOR WORLDWIDE DISASTER AVERTED

The escalating crises and distractions would only have begun in Georgia and South Ossetia. Amongst the smoke clouds and chaos — beefed up with media fear-mongering of it escalating into World War III — there would have been a substantial aerial attack on Iran by Israel, possibly involving bunker-buster nuclear munitions.

From other reliable insider testimony, we know it was fully expected that Israel would be completely bombed to ash in retaliation — perhaps even with nuclear weapons.

[That may or may not have been ‘allowed’ to happen by the higher forces, given that they will offset and deflect any attempt at nuclear war beyond the most minimal level. I have covered this subject in detail throughout this website.]

This would easily have led to martial law and a shoe-in for the continuation of the Bush Administration’s faction of the New World Order.

These consequences had been planned for some time, and ‘leaked’ by several different doom-and-gloom insider sources online.

Furthermore, Russia’s element of surprise was so great that a treasure-trove of documents was left behind that may well be the defining blow to bring down the New World Order once and for all — which is a good thing if you enjoy being alive and free on this planet. History may well end up reporting August 16th as the very day these documents were seized.

THE PERSONAL ELEMENT

Another amazing level to the story is personal to this author. On August 7th I was helping Richard Hoagland upgrade the visual impact of a graphic for a new article on his webpage.

Richard’s original graphic was a picture of Wehner Von Braun, a German Nazi scientist imported into the US after World War II who became the public-relations head of the newly-formed National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

As I toiled away on the graphic, adding new design elements to the composition, I wondered if the Circlemakers would design a crop formation specifically in response to my own thoughts.

I had never asked for a demonstration like this before, but I had read about this occurring with another group who visualized the Mandlebrot Set in August 1991, only to have it appear the next day in the crops.

I was dazzled to find out that the very next day after I had this thought, the key design element in my image for Richard — an "infinity loop" of two circles between the Earth and the Moon — would show up in the 8/8/8 formation at Milk Hill in England — in almost exactly the same form!

I still didn’t feel the need to share this unless it meant something. In fact, I try not to get too excited about anything, even a demonstration of this caliber, as an indulgence in phenomenology is a distraction from the quest for spiritual truth.

In the meantime I went out to Larry Seyer’s studio in Austin, Texas to work on Wanderer Awakening, my first vocal-music album intended for distribution to our audience once we finish it. Larry and I recorded a very well-received two-part audio blog where we compared his studies of the Course in Miracles with my own studies of the Law of One series.

We were both intrigued to see and hear all the commonalities between these two sources of information. I felt the highlight of my talk with Larry was when I brought up the Law of One discussion regarding the "wheel of karma," which is a description of the boom-and-bust, joy-and-sorrow cycles we all go through.

When you are at the top of the wheel, everything seems wonderful — but then as it keeps turning, you get dragged down to the ‘bottom’ and then have to work your way up again.

One of the most impressive Law of One quotes of all, to me, is "In forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of karma."

Put simply, this means that by moving through a forgiveness exercise on anything and everything that comes your way — and particularly for those who you feel have hurt you — the ‘wheel’ actually moves to the top and STOPS TURNING.

You no longer need to get dragged through the mud, and suffer ‘bad karma,’ once you understand and practice forgiveness.

So… Richard posted my graphic on 8/7/08 for all the world to see, and the very next day the "infinity loop" design I incorporated showed up in a crop formation. This was also one of the formations that flagged August 16th as an important date, and marked the beginning of the Georgia / Russia war.

That wasn’t the end of it. The "high strangeness factor" went into complete overdrive when, on September 1st, 2008, I heard a very distinct message as I was going to bed:

"Get Book Three of the Law of One series, and open it to page 100."

I listened, but the content didn’t seem terribly relevant to anything. The passage was describing an 18-day cycle that determined how successful you would be in intuitive and spiritual — so-called ‘magical — work.

The cycle starts on the day you were born. Every 18 days the cycle comes full circle and repeats itself. By calculating the exact number of days since you were born, you can determine where you are in the cycle in your present moment. The first half of the cycle — particularly days 4, 5 and 6 — are where your ESP and intuitive abilities will be the sharpest.

Believe it or not, I always felt it was too cumbersome to sit down and try to do the ‘math’ on this. The Law of One series also said that as you become more integrated and balanced, this cycle no longer has as much of an effect — you get a more even stability in your intuition.

So, when this passage showed up in the Law of One series "on request," I didn’t think much of it the first time — Labor Day, September 1st, 2008.

However, two nights later, as I was heading off to bed, I got the exact same message, loud and clear:

"Get Book Three of the Law of One series, and open it to page 100."

I did as I was requested, and again read the same passage about the 18-day cycle. This time I was smart enough to realize that something significant might be going on. I went over to my desk, fired up the laptop and Googled "calculate number of days since birth".

To my utter amazement, I quickly discovered that on September 1st, 2008, the first time I was asked to read Book Three, Page 100 — I had been through EXACTLY 720 cycles — of 18 days each — since I was born.

This was a true miracle — the one day in my entire life where such an alignment would have worked. That very day, I got the message to re-read that part of the Law of One series.

What made it even more fascinating is that 720 is two times 360. Of course, there are 360 degrees in a circle. What would that mean 720 represents?

Two Circles…

…Just like in the "answer diagram" that appeared in Milk Hill, England on 8/8/8, the very day after I wondered if the ‘Circlemakers’ would "do one just for me!"

I have an excellent paper-trail of emails with Richard to show that this graphic was posted online on the night of August 7th.

What was I to make of this astonishing synchronicity? On the global stage, September 1st, 2008 was the very day that the McCain campaign was forced to tell the world that VP-nominee Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol was pregnant.

Such an announcement was the first major ‘proof’ that McCain went against the party and its insiders and made a spontaneous ‘maverick’ decision without thinking — and it may well have cost him the election.

On a personal level, that very same Monday, September 1st, 2008 was significant for several reasons, some of which will probably have to remain private.

Nonetheless, that same day I set the intention and crystallized the vision for what might become the last major rewrite of my CONVERGENCE film script, after receiving Catherine Ann Jones’ version.

Then, on September 3rd — the second time I got the message to read Book Three, Page 100 and actually calculated where I was in the 18-day cycle — I found out that our top prospective investor fully intends to finance our film. Now we’re simply waiting for his liquidity to free up, which probably won’t be very long from now.

His assistant told me this on the phone in no uncertain terms, and it was definitely cause for celebration. I’ve never worked so hard on any one single project as this — four years of my life as of next January.

So, there you have a sketch of what we intend to do with Part One of this election analysis… and that’s just the setup for a more detailed examination of the politics for this particular moment in history, which we will delve further into in Part Two.

Now that you’ve gotten an outline of what we’re going to cover, we will get into the details and lay out the whole story… and it is a fascinating one at that.

TWO WARRING FACTIONS — NO LONGER RUNNING THE SHOW

The Rockefeller side has vastly more advanced technology at its disposal, in the sense of back-engineered UFOs. Witness testimony asserts that the Republican Party is the main manifestation of this faction, and the Democrat side has never had access to these compartmentalized projects.

The Democrat side is not as clearly defined, but it has consistently (in the past) been a battleground the Illuminati side could infiltrate and use. The Rockefeller side focused its efforts on the Republican party, whose policies are much closer to their own core beliefs, which are .

Regardless of the critics, I continue to assert that we have a very unique situation where the Illuminist stage-management of the Democratic Party fell apart thanks to Obama, who no one on the inside felt could possibly match up to their dirty tricks and controlled media.

I myself might have fallen for the negative publicity in the conspiracy media had I not had a daily rapport with my Higher Self through dreamwork and analysis going all the way back to 1992. I have learned that I can trust my dreams as being for the highest and best good of my own path and everyone else involved.

I have had numerous dreams showing me that Obama’s candidacy is a wonderful significator of the change occurring in society as we head towards fourth-density — i.e. heart-centered consciousness — surrounding the year 2012.

Naturally McCain’s choice of a highly attractive and highly inexperienced woman for Vice President — Sarah Palin — is a sign of the times we’re in.

TBRNews McCain VP Rumors:

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2868.htm

Washington, D.C., August 21, 2008: “Such heart-warming news! High level Republican associates here are talking about the latest ploy on the part of the State of Israel to gain complete control of the United States government.

Their idea is to offer the diseased McCain unlimited support from their papers and television stations in return for his putting Joe Lieberman on the ticket as vice president.

As McCain is known to be seriously ill and will soon be unable to function, the plan will be for him to retire “for reasons of health” — and then Joe Lieberman, loud and persistent Israeli supporter, will step into the Oval Office and America will have her first (unelected) Jewish president. And a firmly dedicated Zionist at that!

Many GOP people say putting Lieberman on the ticket will ruin any chance McCain has at the White House. Why? His obvious mental confusion? No, the American public is becoming seriously anti-Semitic and anti-Israel, and if McCain attempts to support a universal draft (as he is dead set on doing) and has a rabid Zionist as a running mate, his fall will be great and he will drag the shattered remnants of the Republican Party with him. Thank God!”

TBRNews: "Terrible Geo-Political Defeat for the United States"

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2869.htm

Washington, D.C., August 24, 2008: “What amounts to a terrible geo-political defeat for the United States as the direct result of the Russian/Georgian conflict, has caused much sturm und drang here.

Cheney, who had no idea that Putin would react so quickly or that the Georgian army would totally collapse, is having a fit.

Bush, who expected some kind of a blow to Tehran before he left office, is having one of his sulks and the propaganda organs are gearing up to try to smear Putin and disguise the fact that at the first sign of real trouble, our beloved CIA, the entire U.S. military machine in Georgia and almost all of our diplomats ran like Olympic track stars, leaving the crazy Georgian president to rage at his “betrayal.”

It is known (because the Russians made it known through diplomatic and very private channels, that their troops had orders not to fire at the Americans but if the same Americans fired first at the Russian troops, fire would at once be returned. The same orders applied to units of the Russian Black Sea Fleet off the coast of Georgia…

Shocking New TBRNews Post:

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2870.htm

Washington, D.C. August 29, 2008: “Much wailing and rending of garments over at the Israeli Embassy over the Georgian debacle recently. It was planned that their airforce people would attack Iran during the confusion caused by the artillery bombardment in South Ossetia, but the swift and totally unanticipated Russian response took everyone by surprise.

Putin’s people captured all kinds of highly sensitive documents and the Bush people are terrified about what might turn up. Israel is furious, and at more than loss of equipment and documents.

They had been pushing the feeble-minded McCain into putting the detestable Joe Lieberman onto the ticket as VP, because it is obvious that McCain would never finish his first term and Israel would have one of her strongest supporters in the Oval Office.

McCain had promised a US attack on Iran but this is not to be, given the disaster in Georgia — so the garments are rent and the ashes cast while the Israelis look for someone else to pull their chestnuts out of a fire of their own making.”

TBRNews:

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2871.htm

Washington, D.C., September 1, 2008: “ When the Russians chased the Georgians back into their own country, our government took great fright and ordered all American troops out of the area.

Some of these troops took part in the attack on South Ossetia and Washington was afraid that Americans and Russians would start shooting at each other.

As this could lead to immediate war breaking out between the two countries and as Russia has the ability to nuke the shit out of us; (unlike other small countries we habitually threaten and bully) we ran like frightened deer.

We also left behind all kinds of highly compromising documents, code machines, etc. to keep Russian military intelligence for days. They did capture Israeli intelligence people and by report, treated them very brutally. The Russians must have been reading Bush’s orders on torture!

Anyway, there is genuine terror in the halls of the Department of State, the Pentagon and the White House that terrible things could emerge. Guess what, kids? They will.

TBRNews on Georgia, VP Pick:

http://www.tbrnews.org/Archives/a2872.htm

Washington, D.C., September 5, 2008: “While the American media is entertaining the American public with the on-going political three ringer, very serious storms are building, and have been building, in the Middle East.

Putin, three times more a national leader than George Bush, has bided his time and patiently awaited his enemy, the United States to attack Russia. Both Washington and Moscow were fully aware of the pending Georgian attack on South Ossetia and both did nothing but wait.

Bush saw it as another nail in Putin’s political coffin and Putin saw it for an excellent opportunity of destroying America’s credibility as an ally.

The terrified flight of the much-vaunted American equipped and trained Georgian army and the ease with which the Russians were able to occupy any part of Georgia they wanted did not go unnoticed in the NATO countries and aside from the erratic Poles, what we saw in Brussels was embarrassed silence when Bush screamed for action.

Our lunatic VP, Cheney, is determined to force NATO to take in Georgia, but it is known inside the Beltway that this will never happen. And while Americans listen to badly written speeches and platitudes booming out over the tube, the spectre of possible war goes completely ignored.

And around the White House, growingly alarmed Republican and Neocons are wondering if they can pull off another Florida vote stealing gambit again. That’s the trouble with Republicans; they live in the past. Their motto is ‘Look Backward,’ and their watchword is: ‘That which has never been, cannot be.”

This goes all the way back to my friend Antonio telling me in 1995 that every country in the world received a classified document from the United States about UFOs. It told them not to interfere if a crash occurs on their land, as the US is the only entity with the technology and the know-how to effectively ‘dispose’ of these problems.

It’s tragic really. It could be true. It could be so very true. I want it to be true but I just don’t buy it. I’m not going to say the guy’s senile. My gran’s nearly 100 and she’s got more marbles than I have but I can’t imagine that it’s all a big publicity stunt either.

Naturally, NASA are respectably denying it with "Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue" but it does make you think. How on Earth (pun intended) would you actually go about convincing people if it was true? If we’re not going to believe a man who’s been there, done it and probably fathered a little grey somewhere in the galaxy and got all giggy in zero g, then who will we believe?

Digg commentary:

http://digg.com/space/Edgar_Mitchell_UFO_interview

From hinmanj:

I just was to point out (having learned from digg comments on the last Edgar Mitchell story) that this is a man who the government still recognizes as an american hero, even though they say he’s insane. Because someone says aliens exist they are just shunned by the public as tinfoil-hat wearing cooks, but in some cases are still trusted to use billion dollar equipment. That has to mean something…

IK: Well first of all thanks very much for making a little time. I wanted to ask you if there was anything about the radio interview you did that was different from what you’ve said in the past.

EM: No, there’s nothing different. Several of (the reports of the interview) that I’ve seen come around have some flaws in them. Some of the reports pushed it or spun it incorrectly. NASA had nothing to do with anything I’ve done. I wasn’t briefed by NASA. There haven’t been any sightings as a result of my flight service there, so if that part of it comes out on anything you’ve seen it is just totally wrong.

IK: Yes, I did want to clarify that.

EM: My major knowledge comes from what I call the old-timers, people who were at Roswell and subsequent who wanted to clear the things up and tell somebody credible even though they were under severe threats and things — this was back in the Roswell days. Having gone to the moon and being a local citizen out in the Roswell area some of them thought I would be a safe choice to tell their story to, which they did. Even though the government put real clamps on everybody, it got out anyhow.

Subsequent to that, I did take my story to the Pentagon — not NASA, but the Pentagon — and asked for a meeting with the Intelligence Committee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and got it. And told them my story and what I know and eventually had that confirmed by the admiral that I spoke with, that indeed what I was saying was true.

IK: You mean what had been told to you was true?

EM: Yup, in other words. There was a UFO crash. There was an alien spacecraft. This gentleman tried his damndest to get me in and like so many others in the administration over the last 60 years, since JFK’s time, was unable to. He was told ‘Admiral, you don’t have a need to know, and therefore go get lost,’ essentially.

IK: Have you ever come out and said who this person was who briefed you?

EM: No, I have not.

IK: Would you at some point?

EM: No, it is out and around but I don’t feel like I have the liberty to do that.

IK: When did you have your meeting at the Pentagon?

EM: It was in the late ’90s in Washington when I was there working with The Disclosure Project, trying to get all those opened up with another Naval officer by the name of Will Miller and Steven Greer, who you probably heard of. Steven and I don’t really work on this anymore together, but we did at that point and getting to the Pentagon and seeing what we could do there to try to get this opened up.

IK: Why do you think the government hasn’t acknowledged that there is life outside of Earth? I thought that was sort of the point of NASA.

EM: Well most people in government don’t know. The government is highly compartmentalized. You could work next door to somebody for 30 years not knowing what they’re doing in certain areas. The whole point of all of this … goes back to World War II. This Roswell incident took place right at the aftermath of World War II when the U.S. Army Air Corps was split off and became the Air Force and the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), which was the intelligence service of World War II, was disbanded and eventually became the CIA. At that point the Cold War was just starting to move under way and we were at odds with the Soviets.

The Air Force was brand new and supposedly in control of the skies and didn’t know what they were doing, and the CIA didn’t know what they were doing, so Pres. Truman was in a big problem here: Here people were telling him there were aliens around and nobody knew if they were hostile or what they were and what was he going to do about it?

So he formed a committee, a very high-level military and academic and intelligent people — politically powerful people — and said ‘You guys work on this.’ And that was called … the MAJIC 12. And they did pass a National Security Act, or so I’m told, under highly classified auspices, that gave this committee virtually unlimited power to deal with this issue, which they have done for the last 60 years, slowly excluding everybody — including presidents.

You may remember that Pres. Clinton tried to send (Webster) Hubbell to find out about this at Wright Patterson. He got rejected. And Barry Goldwater, back in the ’60s when he was getting ready to run for the presidency and who was a brigadier general in the Air Force Reserve tried to get information about it. He got rejected. And I’m told that Jerry Ford tried to do some finding out and he got rejected.

Jimmy Carter announced his observation of UFOs, but that never went anywhere so obviously he made no progress. Only in recent years has the public interest become acute enough and enough stories leaked out so that people are starting to believe that it’s all real. And the fact of the matter is, it is.

They’re still around and there’s a lot of stuff going on.

Are you aware of the so-called Phoenix Lights Incident? That wasn’t our stuff.

English Crop Circle Solves Pi:

"Take the pattern and draw radial lines from the center of the central depression through each radial jump," Reed e-mailed the Earthfiles.com Web site. "Take the smallest angle sector and call it one (1), then compare the other 10 sectors contained angle to the smallest and pick the closest single digit for the ratio. They come out as 3.141592654."

As any math geek knows, that’s the first 10 digits of pi, the irrational but extremely important number that’s defined as a circle’s circumference divided by its diameter.

Crop-circle enthusiasts claim that’s just more proof that the barley and wheat stalks have been stomped on by aliens who seem to have a special affinity for southern England.

2012 Crop Circle:

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/aveburymanor/aveburymanor2008a.h...

A second recent formation in Germany, from June 23rd, gives multiple alignments – each of which could be construed as an important prophecy date.

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/inter2008/germany/Secklendorf/Secklen...

One of the dates is next March:

V1 = March 27, 2009, inferior conjunction with Sun, next to Earth
V2 = January 11, 2012, superior conjunction with Sun, opposite Earth

V3 = October 29, 2010, inferior conjunction with Sun, next to Earth

V4 = August 16, 2011, superior conjunction with Sun, opposite Earth

V5 = June 6, 2012, inferior conjunction with Sun, solar transit (bright central six-pointed star)

V6 = December 21, 2012, three months before superior conjunction with Sun, far right opposite Earth (end of Long Count).

The Georgia / Russia war over South Ossetia started on August 7/8, and lasted eight days… meaning the war completely ended by August 16, 2008.

In early July, well before there was any overt indication that such a war was coming, two crop circles indicated August 16, 2008 as a significant date:

Burderop, July 6, 2008:

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/Burderop/Burderop2008.html

East Kennett, July 8, 2008:

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/eastkennett/eastkennett2008a.htm...

East Kennett of July 7-8, 2008 shows "forty days or two Mayan months" until a near-total lunar eclipse on August 16, 2008

There will be a near-total 81% lunar eclipse late in the evening on August 16, 2008 (see HERE or HERE). A new crop picture from East Kennett seems to be reminding us of that event with considerable simplicity:

Surrounding a standing circle for Earth, we can see forty small symbols in pairs (large-small-large-small) that clearly suggest 2 × 20 = 40 days until a near-total lunar eclipse on August 16, 2008:

The most remarkable feature of this new crop picture is that it chooses to use a time symbolism of "2 × 20 = 40 days" until the lunar eclipse in mid-August. Many other crop pictures over the past few weeks have shown Mayan themes, for example in Germany. Since the Mayans kept 20 days in any month, as opposed to 30 days for most Western calendars, then one implication of this new picture might be that the crop artists follow a Mayan calendar rather than a Western one (see HERE or HERE).

Watchfield, August 1st, 2008:

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/Watchfield/Watchfield2008.html

While many different explanations of Watchfield Wind Farm might be possible, we still need to explain why they showed us the two numbers "18" and "14" attached to three gear-like balls, then drew that in a field next to a long series of white windmills? The number 18 has been used repeatedly in 2008 as the number of years in any Saros eclipse cycle involving Earth, Sun and Moon. Following that same logic, there would be approximately 14 days from August 1 until an almost total lunar eclipse on August 16, 2008. Those windmills could be meant to symbolize "rotation" of any astronomical body about its own axis, or of our Moon about the Earth.

Cherhill, August 7, 2008:

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/cherhill/cherhill2008.html

This was not picked up on by the Crop Circle Connector community. The jagged shape of each "blade" of this formation could easily be seen as a depiction of the orbital path between the Earth and the Moon, again redundantly flagging eclipse activity. Count the eight spokes of this formation as days since it appeared on August 7th, and you have August 15th — again right near this pivotal "eclipse window."

Milk Hill, August 8, 2008 (8/8/8):

In addition, the figure-8 crop formation of 8/8/8 also seemed to flag August 16th. It clearly showed phases of the Moon, accurately described the number 16 in terms of the number of circles arranged between teardrop-shaped lines, and the overall number ‘8’ indicated "Count eight days from today."

http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2008/080808/0101010.html

In any case, the astronomical logic shown at Milk Hill seems quite amenable to ordinary human understanding, whether it was made by friendly extra-terrestrials, or by local talented fellows with a board and rope! …

On that day, precisely 8 days after Milk Hill appeared, our planet Earth will come directly into line between the Moon and the Sun as an 81% partial lunar eclipse (see HERE)…

Is this explanation plausible? Have any other crop pictures from 2008 described the same, upcoming lunar eclipse? When studied carefully, it seems as if Milk Hill of August 8 may be just the latest of three pictures to give a countdown in days, from when they appeared until August 16, 2008:

East Kennett of July 8 = 2 × 20 = 40 days until August 16
Watchfield Wind Farm of August 1 = approximately 14 days until August 16
Milk Hill of August 8 = figure-8 or 8 days until a lunar eclipse on August 16

Two other pictures from 2008 could be interpreted in terms of similar countdown in days, from when they appeared until August 1, 2008 which was a solar eclipse (visible mainly in Russia or China):

South Field of July 22-23 = 10, 9, 8 days until August 1
Martinsell Hill of July 27 = 5, 4.5, 4 days until a solar eclipse on August 1

In 1826, in upstate New York, ex-Mason William Morgan revealed the secrets of Freemasonry to the world. He thus violated the Masonic oath of secrecy, the penalty for which was “to have my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by the roots, and my body buried in rough sands of the sea, at low water mark”.

Lodge brothers from around western New York gathered for vengeance. Arrested on a trumped up charge for a bad debt (he owed three dollars), Morgan was imprisoned, released to a hostile mob by the Masonic sheriff, kidnaped and hauled off to an abandoned fort, and never seen again. A badly decomposed body found floating in the Niagara River was thought to be his.

Morgan’s disappearance and probable murder sparked the Antimasonic movement. Since Masons were frequently wealthy and held positions of power, they were generally resented and feared.

Fueled now by widespread suspicions of a Masonic conspiracy and cover-up, grand juries investigated the lodge throughout upstate New York. (Among the indicted was the sheriff in the Morgan case). And tensions ran high throughout New England.

One armed Rhode Island Masonic leader stormed into a church and “threatened to shoot the preacher, a seceding Mason, if he ascended the pulpit.”

Another ex-Mason found that people were determined to destroy him, for vandals smeared his house with filth, broke windows, secreted rattlesnakes into his granary, and slit the throat of his dog from ear to ear.

Terrified by the potential threat from the lodge, people organized into vigilante mobs. One Antimason group burst into a Boston lodge expecting to find an arsenal for 2,000 Masons (but was disappointed to uncover only forty-three swords and thirty-four spittoons).

"Charles G. Finney became an outspoken critic of Freemasonry. Freemasonry itself in a 1960 Masonic book entitled “Ten Thousand Famous Freemasons” informs us of the content of Finney’s messages: “Finney wrote and preached anti-Masonry wherever he was, and with Jonathan Blanchard, a Presbyterian minister and President of Wheaton College, [he] published an anti-Masonic newspaper called ‘The Christian Sinecure.’”

According to the Chicago publisher of the Sinecure, Freemasonry had such a hold on the delivery of mail, that this publication was constantly intercepted on its way to subscribers.

Finney writes that before the publication of Finney’s book, the Baptist denomination had been greatly carried away by Freemasonry. A large proportion of its eldership and membership were Freemasons. A considerable number of ministers and members of other branches of Christian churches had also fallen into the snare.

The murder of William Morgan and the publication of Masonry broke upon the churches like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. The facts were such, the revelations were so clear that the Baptist denomination backed down and took the lead in renouncing and denouncing the institution…

In 1830 the greatest revival spread over this land that had ever been known in this or any other country. Masons repented everywhere and 2,000 lodges were suspended. In the Northern states so ashamed were the Masons of the institution that Freemasonry was almost universally renounced.

And, of the 50,000 Masons throughout the US at that time, 40,000 turned their backs on the Lodge, never to walk through its doors again. Great conventions were called by thousands of repentant Masons who made public confessions of their relation to the institution, and openly renounced Freemasonry."

http://www.scarletandthebeast.com/william%20morgan.htm

http://www.contra-mundum.org/cm/features/04_politics.pdf

Concerns about freemasonry eventually spawned the Antimason Party. The party was very strong in New York, Pennsylvania, and New England, and was a nursery for anti-Democratic northern politicians, most of whom eventually migrated from the Antimasons to the Whigs to the Republicans.

Future president Millard Fillmore got his start in the party; ex-president John Quincy Adams ran on the Antimason ticket as the Massachusetts’s gubernatorial candidate. In the election of 1832, because the Whig and Democratic candidates (Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson) were both Masons, the Antimasons forged a national party with its own presidential candidate.

The Antimason Party was thus the first “third party” in American history, and contributed to the political process the first “nominating convention”.

http://www.themasonictrowel.com/books/the_hidden_powe_behind_freemasonry...

The murder of William Morgan, in obedience to a Masonic decree, almost destroyed Masonry in America in 1826. Judge Whitney of the Belvedere Lodge in Illinois, escaped assassination at the hands of Master Masons, only because they feared public vengeance if they killed this popular man.

The very initiation into the Third Degree, is a dramatic "acting out" of a symbolic murder. The candidate for all intents and purposes is murdered by these ruffians, who inflict on him the horrible penalties inherent in the first three degrees.

When these are apprehended, they are theoretically executed by having the penalties of the first three degrees inflicted on them. This is done to impress the Masonic candidate with the seriousness of his pledge and the vengeance which will follow if he breaks his oath.

The Knights of Kadash deliberately promise to commit murder on any traitor to Freemasonry.

Judge Whitney, who was mentioned earlier, testified in the case of a Miss Ellen Slade, who had been murdered in Boone County Illinois for resisting the law laid down by the Grand Lodge of Illinois. In his testimony, Whitney said:

"The resistance of the law by Masons, in the case of the death of Miss Slade, was well known to the Grand Lodge and their committees, who approved it and this Lodge (Belvedere #6, F.A.M.) has quietly acquiesced; and having their charter restored by the present Grand Master, several of the most culpable of its members have been elected to the most important positions in the Lodge." (UNQ).

This action was taken by Master Masons who had full knowledge of the crime they were covering up, as well adequately proven in court. These murderers resisted the law of the State of Illinois and escaped its consequences through the machinations of high ranking Masons in the Judicial system.

Pres. C. G. Finney, himself a Mason, characterized Masonry as follows:

"Freemasonry has no mercy, but swears candidates to avenge violations of Masonic obligations, the most unlawful and un-Christian deeds; to deliver each other from difficulty, whether right or wrong; to unduly favor Masons in business transactions.

It’s members are sworn to retaliate, and persecute unto death, the violators of Masonic obligations." (Wagner’s Freemasonry An Interpretation p.554).

Because of the Masonic murder of William Morgan, facts came to light by testimony of witnesses before the courts; by action of the New York State Legislature, and the defense of Morgan’s assassins by the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island.

All this was led by John Quincy Adams initiating an investigation of Masonry, from a purely patriotic viewpoint. Here are his views as expressed in his ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF MASSACHUSETTS. This is only part of his address:

I saw self-invoked imprecations of throats cut from ear to ear; of hearts and vitals torn out and cast off…

Such are the laws of Masonry; such are their indelible character … a conspiracy of the few, against the equal rights of many! Anti-republican in its sap from the first blushing of the summit of the plant to the deepest fiber of its roots."

Russia and Iran Ally, US Concedes Defeat?

http://www.rense.com/general82/abyss.htm

“The Rense website has posted an article out of Russia that everyone needs to read, comprehend and heed.

No sooner than this article was announced out of Russia and Iran than Bush calls a press conference and lifts the executive ban on offshore drilling. There is also a very good possibility that such an act by George W Bush was an "unofficial announcement of defeat". I think the US just lost the entire debate regarding the oil and gas out of the entire Caspian Basin region. If you do not know what that means, see the other article I have on Rense titled "The Pyrrhic Victory of The Great Decider".

Matters are now at the edge of the abyss as to the pipedream Neocon plans out of DC, London and Israel to attack Iran.

TEHRAN, July 13 (RIA Novosti) — Russian energy giant Gazprom [RTS: GAZP] and Iran’s Ministry of Petroleum will sign on Sunday a memorandum of cooperation in the oil and gas sphere, an Iranian deputy oil minister said.

"Interaction between Iran and Russia in all spheres and especially in the energy sphere is very wide. We expect to further broaden this cooperation in the future," Hossein Noghrehkar Shirazi said.

Shirazi said a series of discussions would precede the signing of the cooperation memorandum.

Iran ranks fourth in terms of crude reserves after Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait, as well as fourth in terms of oil production after Saudi Arabia, the United States and Russia. Iran’s proven gas reserves total more than 28 trillion cubic meters.

http://en.rian.ru/world/20080713/113855321.html

Make no mistakes, an attack on Iran will now be viewed as an attack on Russia’s vital interests.

It is already viewed as vital to the energy interests of China because Iran is supplying oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to China under a long-term, $400 billion contract.

We can thank Bush, Cheney, the Neocons, the lunatics out of DC, Tel Aviv and London for totally botching and losing their Global War on Terror, which is nothing more than a "shield" for them to hide their Grand Chessboard scheme of dominating world energy supplies.

If you refer back to "The Pyrrhic Victory of The Great Decider" you can clearly see that the means for routing Iranian natural gas into Russia and Europe is already in place. Bridas Corporation is already supplying Iranian natural gas into Russia and Europe, while Bush and Blair delivered nothing but hot air, mayhem and idle promises. There have already been announcements that those pipeline routes will be increased in capacity.

Russia has an air wing of their most advanced fighter jets [Sukhoi Su-30] parked in Yerevan Armenia right now and Mig29 fighters. That is Mount Ararat mentioned in the Bible in the background. This photo below is a Russian jet fighter positioned just north of Iran.

My sources inform that those jets are both a deterrent to Turkey and Azerbaijan (US) aims against Armenia but also are patrolling Iranian airspace when requested.

Russia has also moved forward a large group of their Tupelov Tu-160 supersonic bombers to be in position to strike back if the US and Israel are stupid enough to keep pushing this Neocon agenda. These bombers are bigger and faster than the USAF B-1 and they carry a much bigger knock-out punch…

As I have predicted all along, George W Bush lost his Global War on Terror because it was all based on lies from the outset.

The US and UK lost the GWOT to take over the Caspian Basin and Iran. The Grand Chessboard scheme is a total failure and we lost.

Checkmate.”

Russia Protecting Arctic Reserves with Military Force:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/2111507/Russia-p...

“Russia has raised the stakes in the international scramble for the Arctic by announcing it will boost its military presence in the region to protect its "national interests".

The defence ministry said naval vessels would be sent to the Arctic Ocean, which is believed to be home to 25 percent of the world’s untapped energy resources, as part of a Summer training zone.

Gen Vladimir Shamanov, the head of the combat training directorate, stated that Russia had "highly trained military units" prepared for Arctic warfare.”

Fascinating Twist: McCain Not Following Orders

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sidney-blumenthal/why-palin-mccain-v-rove_...

Why did John McCain select Sarah Palin as his running mate? The real reason is that he made an impulsive decision to prove his independence in reaction to pressure from Karl Rove, who was lobbying for Mitt Romney, as I explain in a forum on Firedoglake.com on my new book, The Strange Death of Republican America: Chronicles of a Collapsing Party.

McCain’s emergence as the GOP nominee represents the fracturing of the conservative Republican dominance of the party, shattered as a consequence of George W. Bush’s radicalism. I explain the story of how the Republicans came apart in "The Strange Death of Republican America." On the ruins, McCain must attempt to piece together the broken shards. In McCain’s case, the political motive has combined with the temperamental. Thus, Sarah Palin.
