NOTE: TWO
LECTURES PRESENTING MR. EMORY’S VIEWS OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE ARE
NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWLOAD FOR FREE IN
BOTH REAL AUDIO AND MP3. These lectures are:
L-1: ‘The Political Implications of the UFO Phenomenon and the ‘ET’ Myth’; and
L-2: ‘The Future--Technology, Theocracy and the Thousand-Year-Reich.’
Descriptions are available in the Lecture Series section.
NEW!! A number of
vitally important books are now available for download for FREE. The books are:
Martin Bormann: Nazi in
Exile by Paul Manning; The Nazis Go Underground
by Curt Reiss; and All Honorable Men (parts 1 and 2) by James
Stewart Martin. Taken together, these books will provide a significant
understanding of the concept and reality of The Underground Reich, and they can
be downloaded with a modem Internet connection. They are available at: Spitfirelist.com/Books. In addition, we have added Cairo to Damascus by John Roy Carlson [1951], Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T.H. Tetens [1953], and Armies of Spies by Joseph Golomb [1939].
Yet another recent addition is Germany’s
Master Plan by Joseph Borkin and Charles Welsh. (Borkin is the author of
the 1979 classic The Crime and Punishment
of I.G. Farben.) Another anti-fascist classic about I.G. Farben supplements
the Borkin and Welsh text—Treason’s Peace
by Howard Watson Ambruster. Two more recently-posted gems are The Thousand-Year Conspiracy by Paul
Winkler and Falange by Alan Chase,
both published in 1943. The Winkler text documents the evolution of militant
Pan-Germanism from the Teutonic Knights to the Nazis and Falange documents the Third Reich’s geopolitical goals in the
Spanish-speaking world. By the time many of you read this description, more of
the long-out-of-print anti-fascist books that are more than 50 years old will
have been added to the Spitfirelist.com/Books URL. The Manning text’s URL also features a discussion of
Paul Manning’s career and professional credentials. Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile is also available in html. Note also that FTR#305
has a synoptic overview of the Bormann organization. An understanding of the
Bormann organization is essential for an in-depth grasp of the arguments
presented on For The Record.
Note also that U.S. Government documents proving Prescott
Bush Sr.’s Money-Laundering on behalf of the Third Reich before and after World
War II are available at a linked website, along with commentary by John
Buchanan, who located the documentation. This material is discussed in FTR#435.
The website containing the documents is www.debatecomics.org/BushFamilyFortune/.
New! The 1990
Archive Show “Uncle Sam and Il Duce: American Support for Mussolini and the
Mythology of the Corporate State” is now available for download for FREE on
MP3! This program is arguably the best post-World War II analysis of classical
fascism—what Mussolini called “The Corporate State.” Check it out at: http://www.spitfirelist.com/Archives/
Summary of FTR#588—(Note: The massive
volume of ‘For The Record’ programs about 9/11 and related topics is summarized
and analyzed in the periodically-updated description for FTR#391. FTR#’s
454, 455, 456 are compilations of much of the key documentation
culled from Mr. Emory’s investigation into 9/11. Along with FTR#391, they should give
listeners/readers a substantive grasp of this momentous event. It is
recommended that listeners use this description and e-mail it to others.) Further developing Mr.
Emory’s long-standing inquiry into the political implications of the UFO
phenomenon and the ET myth, the broadcast sets forth remarks by both the
British defense ministry’s former chief UFO investigator and a former Canadian
defense minister. Both RAF officer Pope and former defense minister Paul
Hellyer believe we have been visited by space aliens, arriving in UFOs! Most of
the broadcast highlights research indicating that UFOs are real, but that they
are from right here on earth! After delineating German aeronautical research
during the latter phase of World War II, the broadcast notes Vesco’s hypothesis
that the first true UFOs were developed in Canada by subsidiaries of British
aircraft manufacturers, and were flown over the northern United States in the
postwar period to convince the U.S. to share atomic bomb technology with their
British allies. Concluding with discussion of the possible implications of the
deliberate manifestation of UFO technology misrepresented as being from outer
space, the program notes the vulnerability of a disillusioned, economically and
ecologically beset human race to accepting falsified belief in “salvation from
above”—in this case “our brothers from space.” Is it possible that Vesco’s hypothesis may be related
to former British and Canadian defense officials “leaking” information about
visits from space aliens!! Could this be part of an enormous psy-op?! For more about the subject of UFO’s see—among other
programs—FTR#’s 66, 67, 68, 167, 170, 178, 257. For a more complete
understanding of MR. Emory’s take on the UFO phenomenon, be sure to listen to
the two lectures available on this page. —“The Political Implications of the UFO
Phenomenon and the ‘ET’ Myth”; and L-2:

Program
Highlights Include: Discussion
of the anti-radar Feuerball, the probable cause of the reports of Foo Fighters
by Allied airmen in World War II; analysis of the Kugelblitz, another Nazi
anti-aircraft device that was an antecedent of the UFOs; reports of humans
piloting the UFOs that appeared in the immediate aftermath of World War II; the
migration of British aviation technology to Canada after World War II; the
concentration of that aviation technology in the Pacific Northwest.
1.
Beginning with an assertion from a former British officer who was in
charge of UFO investigations for the British Ministry of Defense, the program
notes his [purported] fear that “space aliens” could attack at any time. Note
that Mr. Emory does not believe in the existence of space aliens, but does
believe “UFO’s” to be real and of terrestrial origin. His fear is that these
devices may be used to govern human behavior as part of some kind of psy-op. CORRECTION: COLONEL POPE WAS NOT THE HEAD OF THE MINISTRY
OF DEFENSE. MR. EMORY MISINTERPRETED THE HEADLINE ELEMENT “FORMER MoD CHIEF” TO
MEAN THAT HE HEADED THE MINISTRY ITSELF. POPE WAS IN OF CHARGE OF THE
MINISTRY’S UFO INVESTIGATIONS ONLY. NOTE THAT PAUL HELLYER [DISCUSSED IN PARAGRAPHS
2 AND 3] WAS THE CANADIAN DEFENSE MINISTER AND A DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER. “UFO sightings and alien visitors tend to be solely the
reserve of sci-fi movies. So when a former MoD chief warns that the country
could be attacked by extraterrestrials at any time, you may be forgiven for
feeling a little alarmed. During his time as head of the Ministry of Defense
UFO project, Nick Pope was persuaded into believing that other life forms may
visit Earth and, more specifically, Britain. His concern is that ‘highly
credible’ sightings are simply dismissed. And he complains that the project he
once ran is now ‘virtually closed’ down, leaving the country ‘wide open’ to
aliens. Mr Pope decided to speak out about his worries after resigning from his
post at the Directorate of Defense Security at the MoD this week. ‘The
consequences of getting this one wrong could be huge,’ he said. . . .” (“
‘Aliens Could Attack at any Time' Warns Former MoD Chief” by Charlotte Gill; Daily
Mail; 11/10/2006; accessed at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=415514&in_page_id=1770
; available at: http://ftrsupplemental.blogspot.com/2006/11/aliens-could-attack-at-any-time-warns.html.)
2.
Echoing Pope’s concern about the possibility of an “intergalactic war”
is former Canadian Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister Paul Hellyer. “A former Canadian Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime
Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental
organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics
-- relations with ‘ETs.’ By ‘ETs,’ Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean
ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting
Earth. On September 25, 2005, in a startling speech at the University of
Toronto that caught the attention of mainstream newspapers and magazines, Paul
Hellyer, Canada’s Defense Minister from 1963-67 under Nobel Peace Prize
Laureate Prime Minister Lester Pearson, publicly stated: ‘UFOs, are as real as
the airplanes that fly over your head.’ Mr. Hellyer went on to say, ‘I'm so
concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic
war, that I just think I had to say something.’ Hellyer revealed, ‘The secrecy
involved in all matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalleled. The
classification was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of
U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied minister of defense,
were never in-the-loop.’ Hellyer warned, ‘The United States military are
preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us
into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. He stated, ‘The
Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base
on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the
goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so
decide.’ . . .” (“Former Canadian Minister Of Defense Asks Canadian
Parliament To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien ‘Et’ Civilizations” [PRWeb];

3.
Going still further, Hellyer has stated that “alien technology” could
give us the means to combat global warming. “A
former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose
and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem
climate change, a local paper said Wednesday. ‘I would like to see what (alien)
technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels
within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet,’ Paul Hellyer,
83, told the Ottawa Citizen. Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast
distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion
systems or used exceptional fuels, he told the newspaper. Such alien
technologies could offer humanity alternatives to fossil fuels, he said,
pointing to the enigmatic 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico -- which has
become a shrine for UFO believers -- as an example of alien contact. ‘We need
to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect
they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied
quickly enough,’ he said. Hellyer became defense minister in former prime
minister Lester Pearson's cabinet in 1963, and oversaw the controversial
integration and unification of Canada's army, air force and navy into the
Canadian Forces. He shocked Canadians in September 2005 by announcing he once
saw a UFO.” (“UFO Science Key to Halting Climate Change: Former Canadian Defense
Minister” [Agence France Press]; Yahoo.com; 2/28/2007; accessed at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070228/wl_canada_afp/canadaenvironmentkyoto_070228180440;

Delving into the
topic of the historical development of unconventionally-shaped flying machines by
the species homo sapiens, the program highlights the so-called “Foo
Fighters.” Named by Allied airmen [“Foo” is a corruption of “feu”—the French
word for “fire”], the Foo Fighters were large, glowing balls that flew after
bombers on night raids into Germany. Upon the Foo Fighters’ appearance, the
bombers’ radar promptly malfunctioned. Author Vesco contends that the Foo
Fighters were an anti-radar device developed by the Luftwaffe and named the
“Feuerball” or Fireball. [Vesco was in charge of Research and Development for
the Italian air force for a time.] “ . . .
Subsequently other flyers encountered the mysterious Foo Fighters, but having
learned their lesson from the fate of their colleagues, they never mentioned
them in their flight reports. Pilots McFalls and Baker were the ones who broke
this imposed silence. They too were from the 415th Squadron, and their very
short but detailed report forced Air Force intelligence to consider the matter
seriously: ‘At 0600 [on December 22], near Hagenau, at 10,000 feet altitude,
two very bright lights climbed toward us from the ground. They leveled off and
stayed on the tail of our plane. They were huge bright orange lights. They
stayed there for two minutes. On my tail all the time. They were under
perfect control [by operators on the ground]. Then they turned away from
us, and the fire seemed to go out.’ The rest of the report was censored.
Apparently it went on to mention the plane's radar and its sudden
malfunctioning. Two nights later the same pilots were flying over the Rhine
when they were ‘attacked’ by a glowing red ball that suddenly ‘changed into an
airplane which did a wing over! Then it dived and disappeared.’ Additional
censored lines. Knowledge of these facts, which were being increasingly
repeated, finally caught the attention of military publications. During the
last days of December 1944, stories were leaked
to the American Legion Magazine, which published the personal opinions
of several U.S. Intelligence officers and suggested that the Foo Fighters were
radio-controlled devices that the Germans sent up to baffle the radar of the
night raiders. Picking up the story, the newspapers dug up Hitler's threatening
speeches boasting of the imminent use of certain secret weapons capable of
compromising or at least delaying the Allied victory. . . .” (Intercept—But
Don’t Shoot; by Renato Vesco; Grove Press [HC]; English translation

Vesco believes that
another immediate forerunner of the “UFO’s” was another Luftwaffe technical
innovation--the Kubelblitz or Ball Lightning. “ . .
. Parallel with the formation of the special S.S. Air Corps, the S.S. Technical
General Staff had not only espoused Marshal Goering's pressing demands for the
preparation of the ‘decisive’ fighter, but had implemented them by having all
the aeronautic advances of the past two years sent to the industrial combine of
the ‘G. Werke.’ Thus the principle of the symmetrical circular aircraft was combined
with direct gyroscopic stabilization; synthetic fire-damp was combined with the
multiple-batteried blower cannon; a gelatinous organic metallic
hypercombustible was combined with the total reaction turbine;
television-controlled flying was combined with vertical take-off and landing;
armor that was sensitive to small-caliber projectiles and radio control that
was free of enemy jamming were combined with the active blinding of enemy
radar; infrared search ‘eyes’ were combined with electrostatic weapon firing.
This marked the rapid development of the Feuerball, which finally became
a weapon. The Kugelblitz (Ball Lightning), which apparently for greater
safety combined the electrostatic firing device with an analogous short-wave
device manufactured by the Patent-Verwertungs Gesellschaft of Salzburg, lumped
together in a single compact mass the wings, tail, and fuselage of ordinary planes, but it had nothing in common with them in either
form or performance. It was the first example of the ‘jet-lift’ aircraft. . . .
” (Ibid.; pp. 156-157; view entire text excerpt at: http://ftrsupplemental.blogspot.com/2007/04/ball-lightning-atomic-fighter.html.)
6.
Next, Vesco sets
forth some of the many UFO sightings in North America in the immediate
aftermath of World War II. Among those was the sighting of a formation of
UFO’s, sighted by a P-38 reconnaissance plane over Yellowstone Park. Note
that the P-38 pilot identified an apparently human pilot of one of the
aircraft! “ . . .‘The mysterious aircraft
seemed to be made of aluminum. They were pearl-gray in color and on the upper
side they all had a shining bubble of some transparent material.’ ‘Did you see
who was flying them? And why didn't you take any pictures?’ ‘We wasted some
time watching them fly by and trying to determine whether there was anyone on
board. They moved quicker than we could act!’ ‘Did the leader by any chance
graze your plane?’ ‘No, absolutely not. I have no idea why he fell. Perhaps he
was already having mechanical trouble or perhaps he accidentally got into my
slipstream and was torn apart. As I said, we were going pretty fast.’ The
photographer confirmed that he did not have time to aim his large vertical
camera at the formation because the objects flew by too rapidly, and his report
on the event coincided in its main particulars with that of the pilot (who was
described by his direct superiors as a ‘serious and honest officer, who takes
his job seriously’). He added that since he had concentrated his attention on
one of the craft that had briefly approached the P-38 more closely than the
others, it seemed to him that he had glimpsed a man, the pilot, inside, lying
flat in the cabin and looking out the glass porthole in the front of the
bubble. . . .” (Ibid.; p. 14; view text excerpt in its entirety at:
http://ftrsupplemental.blogspot.com/2007/04/yellowstone-yo-yo.html.)
7.
One of the primary
theses of Vesco’s book is the contention that the UFO’s are postwar British
developments of German aeronautical prototypes. Vesco documents a huge,
westward migration of aviation technology in Canada in the immediate aftermath
of World War II. He is of the opinion that Canadian subsidiaries of British
aircraft manufacturers were charged with the [successful] development of the
German innovations. According to Vesco, the appearance of these devices over
the Northern United States was initially intended to demonstrate to the
Americans that it was in their best interest to share the technology for the
atomic bomb, because the British, too, had some remarkable technology to share.
Is it possible that Vesco’s hypothesis may be related to former British and
Canadian defense officials “leaking” information about visits from space
aliens!! Could this be part of an enormous psy-op?! “ . . . Among the fragmentary news stories that reported
the transfer by the Canadian government of the Turbo-Research Ltd. plants to
the Hawker Siddeley Group there were several that referred to the imminence of
other radical changes in the local aircraft industry, which because of war
production needs had grown quite large, especially in the eastern part of the
country, over the preceding five years. Plans were laid for a sort of gigantic
‘migration’ to the western area of the Dominion, with the formation of
research, testing and production centers—centering on the urban area of
Vancouver—for new types of planes and engines that would be ‘Canadian designed
and Canadian built’ and for the local production of ‘special fuels.’ The whole
thing was to be accomplished in record time. The greatest impulse toward this
development, which was rapidly brought to a conclusion, came in the spring of
1946, when Professor B. S, Shenstone—described by the technical journals as a
‘Canadian scientist with a brilliant scientific background’ and an expert in,
among other things, problems dealing with the control of the boundary layer—was
named general manager and technical assistant to vice-president W. N. Deisher
of Avro-Canada. Previously he had been an assistant director in the Ministry of Aircraft Production's
office in charge of the development of projects relating to postwar air
transport. But we had an authoritative indication of what was developing in
Canada in the fall of 1945, when a brilliant aeronautical future was openly
being predicted in England for its overseas dominion. For example, The
Aeroplane wrote: ‘The recent purchase [July 1] of the Victory Aircraft,
Ltd., plant at Malton, Ontario, which is at present engaged in the production
of the Lincoln bomber, by the Hawker-Siddeley Co., might mean that Canada will
become the British Empire's aircraft production center within the next ten
years.’ At the beginning of 1946 the British group also took over the plants of
Turbo-Research of Leavside and put them under the administration of its Gas
Turbine Division in Malton. Turbo-Research was a government body created in
1944 on the model of the British Power Jets for the study of local problems of
jet propulsion. It had an experimental station in Winnipeg. . . . .” (Ibid.;

“Actually,
even the present twenty million population, for the most part inhabiting the
two coastal areas, on a land almost the size of a continent (it is nine-tenths
the size of Europe) comprises a decidedly modest human nucleus when compared
with the tens of millions who live in countries with a long aeronautical
tradition, such as England, Italy, France, and Germany. Describing Canada as
‘the Promised Land of Aviation,’ the British aeronautical writer J. II. Slovens
noted in 1952 that ‘the principal aircraft companies (A. V. Roe, Canadair, De
Havilland) that build aircraft of their own design number two in Toronto and one
in Montreal. Other minor specialist firms that contribute to making those
places the centers of national aeronautical production are located in both of
these cities and in their surrounding areas. The British Fairey Aviation
Company has a well-known factory near Halifax in Nova Scotia. Other islands of
air technology are on the Niagara peninsula, in Fort William, Winnipeg and
Vancouver. The largest builder is, however, A. V. Roe Canada, Ltd., or
Avro-Canada, which derives from the 'shade workshop' of Victory Aircraft Ltd.
and is a branch of the British Hawker Siddeley Group. Nevertheless, it has an independent board of directors, like
the other divisions, over which Sir Frank Spriggs and Sir Roy Dobson exercise
only a general policy control. Other industries cover the whole field of
accessories, instruments and aircraft materials. Hundreds of firms produce
various parts according to the designs and standards of aircraft construction.
Finally, Canada produces steel and light alloys for all its own needs making
use of its vast mineral deposits. There is also a 'pilot plant' for the
production of titanium. Canada possesses complete scientific and experimental
equipment in the National Research Council of Ottawa. Wind tunnels,
laboratories that are equipped to examine materials and construct models make
it possible to carry out any kind of experiment. Another sign of Canada's
determination not to remain behind in aeronautical progress is the fact that
there are two electronic computers in Toronto: one at Avro-Canada and the other
at the university, which also has a hypersonic wind tunnel in Downsview. During
the winter, industrial production remains unaffected, for the factories are all
well-heated. Even the hangars are kept at a temperature of 70 degrees, avoiding
drafts in a way that seems miraculous. The working conditions, for example, are
better than those in the average British factory, and it is common practice to
work in shirtsleeves during the winter, both in the offices and in the shops.
The cold, however, makes it necessary that all the planes be kept under roof.’”
(Ibid.; pp. 250-252.)
9.
Next, the program
sets forth Vesco’s research on the “Avro Car”—a circular fighter aircraft
developed by the A.V. Roe company—a subsidiary of Hawker-Siddley. Although the
Avro-Car officially did not achieve operational status, Vesco believes that is
disinformation. He feels that the Avro-Car was actually successfully developed.
“At the beginning of 1953, when no one was thinking
about flying discs, they suddenly began to appear in the columns of Canadian
newspapers. On February 11, the Toronto Star announced in a banner
headline that flying saucers should no longer be confined to the realm of
fantasy, because they were actually being developed in one of Avro-Canada's
hangars at the Malton airfield. Two columns of details and the news that the
device was supposed to have a top speed of 1500 mph gave the clear impression
that the writer had obtained his information from a; very well-informed, if not
completely candid, source that obviously worked somewhere in the powerful
company. Certain government experts who were immediately interviewed by
reporters from the nearby capital sought to extricate themselves from the
awkward situation by evasively declaring: ‘The Defense authorities are
examining all ideas, even revolutionary ones, that have been suggested for the
development of new types of supersonic aircraft, also including flying
discs. This, however, is still in the beginning phase of research and it
will be a number of months before we are able to reach anything positive and
seven or more years before we come to actual
production.’ According to the Star, on February 16 C. D. Howe, minister
of defense production, told the House of Commons that ‘the government was
constantly studying 'new concepts and new designs' for fighters . . . adding
weight to reports that Avro is even now working on a mock-up model of a 'flying
saucer' capable of flying 1500 miles per hour and climbing straight up in the
air.’ . . . ” (Ibid.; pp. 252-253; view text excerpt in its entirety
at: http://ftrsupplemental.blogspot.com/2007/04/avro-saucers-for-far-north.html.)
10.
More of Vesco’s
research on the Avro-Car: “ . . . . For some time
the leaks continued along the same lines, although without adding anything new,
favored by the fact that the organ of British military aviation, the R.A.F.
Review, reprinted almost the whole of the original Canadian inquiry, thereby
conferring, so to speak, a semiofficial status upon the news.’ As a precaution,
however, the review felt obliged to state that ‘none of the opinions expressed
in the article’ had been confirmed by the Air Ministry. In fact, all during the
period that the news was breaking, the Ministry carefully kept its lips sealed.
The Canadian flying saucer (the one in the newspapers) did not concern the
Ministry, since, luckily for it, the truth about the real flying saucers of the
R.C.A.F. was not even touched. At this point began the discussions that played
directly into the hands of the authorities that were directly interested in
keeping the secret. At the beginning of June, the daily information bulletin of
the Swiss review Interavia reported that on the basis of inquiries made
by its Canadian correspondent, the A. V. Roe flying disc was probably not in
fact an airplane in the shape of a disc but, more simply, a delta-winged jet
fighter-interceptor, that is, it had the shape of a triangle. In other words, it
was a further development of the well-known Avro 707 heavy fighter and the Avro
698 Vulcan bomber powered with four jet engines. The correspondent of the
review was mistaken (or had he been deliberately misled?), since the firm had
for some time been working on at least a third example of a delta-winged plane:
the supersonic CF-log Arrow, a twin-jet all-weather fighter of thirty-five
tons, the testing date of which had, however, been scheduled at the earliest for the end of 1955. Evidently this project
had nothing to do with the discs, which were several years in advance of it and
had a radically different shape. And the proof of it is that when the press had
completely forgotten the subject, a new, very brief story that appeared in
Toronto on November 1 unexpectedly brought the subject up again. The story
read: ‘A mock-up of the Canadian flying saucer, the highly secret aircraft in
whose existence few believe, was yesterday shown to a group of twenty-five
American experts, including military officers and scientists.’ Further news on
the Avro pseudo-disc, which had in the meantime been officially baptized the
Avro Omega, came on the following October 21, when the press declared that the
aircraft had been under study for at least two years and that the cost of the
prototype was reported to have been in the area of $200 million. According to
the papers, the Canadian government was planning to form entire squadrons of
flying saucers for the defense of Alaska and the frozen reaches of the Far
North. Their claimed low cost of manufacture and maintenance, their ability to
intercept any high-speed plane in operation and to take off vertically, made
them the ideal weapon for operations in wooded areas of Canada and in the
subarctic and polar regions, for they were ‘completely independent of
vulnerable runways or any fixed special equipment.’ The press of the Western
world naturally received the news with a great sense of relief, and it
unreservedly proclaimed: ‘The flying discs are real!’” (Ibid.; pp.
254-255.)
11.
Concluding with
author Jacques Vallee’s reflections on the political and sociological
implications of the UFO phenomenon, the program excerpts The Messengers of
Deception. Vallee maintains that UFO contactees are being deceived into
believing that their experiences are encounters with “space” beings. It is his
view that the propagation of the belief in space aliens is a deliberate
deception, being perpetuated by people right here on earth. “ . . . If we are not dealing with space visitors at all,
but with powerful imagery projected in order to alter individual belief
systems, then the dream-like, hallucinatory nature of the experience begins to
make more sense. We could even imagine that the object is a form of natural
energy; that close exposure to it triggered the vision; and that the most
important question to ask is, what effect do such visions have on the society
around the witnesses? Let us not forget that the society in question is badly
in need of ‘space brothers,’ and has lost much of its faith in the scientific
genius of mankind. Such is the social matrix within which we must consider an
experience like Helen’s abduction. Certain factors combine to suggest we should
believe that she was interviewed by space creatures, but all the facts
taken together suggest a different, more subtle interpretation: what she though
was a ‘contact’ may have been messengers of deception. Witnesses to close
encounters with UFOs give reports similar to this one in case after case. The
phenomenon involves more than a simple craft using an advanced form of
propulsion; it involves a technology that can distort the observer’s sense of

“We
already have human technologies that are both physical and ‘psychic’ (in the
sense of influencing the consciousness of an observer). An example of such a
technology is given, very simply, by your television set. There is no
question that it is physical. You can talk about its size, volume, weight, and
temperature. But if you turn it on, it will begin to control your awareness in
peculiar ways. You will observe scenes that, as far as you can tell, could be
either ‘real’ or faked. You may be a witness to an actual crime committed right
now, or to something that happened years ago. You may also believe a scene to
be absolutely real, when in fact it is actually staged in a studio in
Hollywood. Based on what you can observe, you have no way to know the truth,
even if you have a Nobel Prize in physics. Besides, your television set
influences you in other ways. It determines what toothpaste you use, how you
shave, who you go to bed with, and how you will vote in the next election. In
some respects I think UFOs are similar to television sets. They are physical
objects, the products of a technology, but they are also something else: the
tools of a major cultural change. I think UFOs are perpetrating a deception
by presenting their so-called ‘occupants’ as being messengers from outer space,
and I suspect there are groups of people on earth exploiting this
deception. [Italics are Mr. Emory’s.]. . .” (Ibid.; p. 63.)

In addition to noting the irrationality of the contactee belief system,
Vallee notes the potential for that viewpoint for disrupting a badly disillusioned
humanity is enormous. Of particular significance for our purposes are
Vallee’s reflections about the effect of noted public figures giving voice to
beliefs in “ET’s.” Vallee’s book was published in 1979. One wonders what he
would say about the comments of Pope and Hellyer documented above?! “ . . . The new belief is completely lacking in logic. That
is the key to its power. It serves to keep scientists away. The more absurd the
statement, the stronger its effect. When the Establishment is rational, absurdity
is dynamite. Through the contactees, the Manipulators are undermining both
religion and science. Contact with alien intelligence is a social issue, too.
Yesterday any politician would have avoided UFOs like the plague. Today men
like Jimmy Carter proclaim that they have seen unidentified lights in the sky
and are ‘no longer laughing at those who report flying saucers.’ Various
‘revelations’ by former government employees have suggested that evidence of
extraterrestrial visitors may exist in Washington. Even a man like Arthur
Lundahl, former director of the Photographic Interpretation Center of the CIA,
has stated publicly that he had examined a number of UFO films for the
government and had judged them to be authentic. Tomorrow someone might announce
that proof has been found for the existence of alien life forms. Such an
announcement would make possible astonishing social, political, and economic
changes. To pave the way for such changes is the stated goal of many
contactees. Their purpose is Utopia today.
It could be reality tomorrow. . . .” (Ibid.; p. 64.)

In light of the recent comments by Pope and Hellyer, one can only
wonder whether humanity is being prepared for some kind of deliberate
manifestation of these technologies. Again, listeners are emphatically
encouraged to check out the lectures featured for free on the Spitfire
website—“The
Political Implications of the UFO Phenomenon and the ‘ET’ Myth”; and L-2: “The Future--Technology, Theocracy and the
Thousand-Year-Reich.” They
are available on MP3 at: http://www.spitfirelist.com/mp3/Lectures/.
The lectures can also be downloaded on Real Audio at: http://www.spitfirelist.com/RA/Lectures/.
Descriptions for both lectures are available in the Lecture
Series section. “ . . . The propensity
of most scientists to ignore these [UFO ‘contactee’] phenomena—or even to
ridicule indiscriminately those who report them—has created an unfortunate gap
that these new sects are naturally beginning to fill. The question that remains
to discover how serious a threat these groups represent to established social
structures. . . . Now, suppose the arrival of these alleged visitors was a
hoax, a deliberate deception. Would we ever know?’ Great social changes
often come from the least expected area. I believe that the most powerful
factor that can change a society’s structures is not a simple terrestrial
‘enemy’ beyond its borders. This change can come from within, if the gap
between the scientific elite and the frustrated public gets wider and is
deliberately exploited. The instruments of this profound change are the
contactees, the believers in celestial interventions of all kinds, the scouts
of cosmic armies. . . .” (Ibid.; p. 66.)

Two video productions are being generated by a couple of
documentary filmmakers. One is a DVD of a three-lecture series called “The
First Refuge of a Scoundrel: The Relationship Between Fascism and Religion.” To
learn more about this, visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4YPCdFu7OE.
In addition, there will soon be a documentary
about Mr. Emory, titled “The Anti-Fascist.” For more about this project, visit:
