We stand accused, according to the various rumors that are circulating,
of being key figures in one of the greatest conspiracies ever to hit the
paranormal field.
Well, golly... shucks, folks....
Actually, we wouldn’t mind taking the credit, but out of a sense of
sheer honesty and modesty we have to report that we are a bit short of
realizing this conspiratorial goal. Nonetheless, if others want to
continue this conspiracy, then we should not be too modest or too
honest, but do what we can to keep those rumor mills grinding.
First, though, a little background for those of you who are joining us
late. Rumor has it that we are working for the CIA, and
specifically
the Aviary, to spread disinformation
throughout the crop circle-ufology fields. Lately, we have been named as
part of an alleged international disinformation conspiracy in “Schnabelgate,”
the Jim Schnabel-Robert Irving-George Wingfield-Henry Azadehdel tape
circus that hit crop circles last fall. Wingfield, one of
England’s leading cereologists, suspected Irving and Schnabel
of hoaxing circles in order to discredit the phenomenon and its
researchers. He enlisted the help of Henry Azadehdel, a.k.a.
Armen Victorian, a journalist who specializes in writing exposes in
the UFO field.
Posing as an African
journalist, Azadehdel called first Irving and then Schnabel to
ask questions about the “conspiracy.” Irving and Schnabel say they knew
what game was afoot, and put one over on Azadehdel by embroidering a
tall story of a conspiracy involving intelligence agencies in the US, UK
and Germany, and the Vatican as well. The conversations were taped, and
Wingfield took them as gospel truth. The resulting controversy has
damaged cereology and alienated researchers.
Now Wingfield comes along to stir the pot even more, talking
about a CIA lunch we three were at last year, showing in his
lectures a slide of Rosemary seated next to a member of the Aviary.
The implication is that this was the Big Approach to Compromise George.
Sorry, George, it ain’t so, and more about “The Lunch” in a moment.
We’ve been publicly silent about all these allegations, because denial
only fuels more intense belief on the part of the paranoid. Those who
love rumors will continue to believe in them and spread them, regardless
of what we say. We’d rather stay out of the rumor gutter and talk to
people who are interested in the truth. We’ve been asked what we’re
really doing. Here’s our answer.
In the beginning there was eschatology—the branch of theology
dealing with the end times. Dan, having spent many years
first studying physics and then metaphysics, came to the conclusion that
the scientists have been looking at the world upside down. Mind,
not matter, is the foundation for all realities. Moreover, the
materialist paradigm was in danger of imminent collapse, being subverted
on the inside by its own contradictions, and on the outside by the
growing body of evidence for the paranormal.
Creating and maintaining a reality is no easy game. It requires a lot of
magic, and a lot of conscious critters like ourselves who are pretty
good at collective self-deception. Fortunately—or perhaps
unfortunately—our particular reality game has about reached its natural
conclusion, and we are waking up to the fact that mind and matter are
not separate. We are undergoing an exciting but stressful revolution in
our collective consciousness.
This revolution, or global spiritual emergency, will bring
upheavals and overloads in our global consciousness that will impact the
material Earth for better or worse, and may quickly get out of control.
We also will be opening up to other realities that will be impacting us
as well.
Our present very tidy sense of reality and its boundaries is due to
become much more fluid and permeable. Every spiritual tradition takes
very seriously its prophesies about the end of the world, but for the
first time we are seeing these prophesies turning into believable
predictions of earth and reality changes. That is how Dan fell
from physics into eschatology. After experiencing numerous slammed doors
among his former scientific colleagues, he decided that the most logical
place to find fellow eschatologists would be in various intelligence
agencies and among investigators of the paranormal. Dan next
addressed how to communicate about the eschaton.
Even a small hint that the
government is worried about the end of the world might start a chain
reaction of panic, which could possibly serve as a trigger for
the eschaton. On the other hand,
people inside the government might be wanting to set up a kind of civil
defense network vis a vis the eschaton, and so they would be looking for
people on the outside who could much more freely network among the
general public.
An important link in the communication chain is what has become known as
the Aviary. This is the final link next to the public network, and so it
must be heavily disguised by its own surrealistic smoke screen. The
Aviary functions best by amplifying people’s own misconceptions
about the paranormal. It does this by helping to overinflate individual
pieces of the puzzle so that particular investigators get pushed further
into their own blind alleys. People are encouraged to be so distracted
by the trees that they fail to see the forest.
This cacophony by people
looking for truth in all the strangest places provides an excellent
cover for the deadly serious business of clearing the decks and
battening down the hatches for the eschaton event. It is like a
Manhattan Project going on behind the scenes of alien grays and
praying mantises having sex with humans. However, this
eschaton conspiracy is being orchestrated by higher powers, and we
don’t mean
the Committee of 300. Very few of the
people even near the center of the orchestration have a clear picture of
what is coming down, but they do know that something is coming and that
they will have front row seats.
The Manhattan Project relative to the eschaton is a global
civilian network of people who will serve as a lightning rod for the
cosmic energies coming in during the consciousness revolution. They will
be looking to channel these energies into expanded realities. Thus, they
will provide a degree of protection for those people who can find their
places alongside the network. Outside of the network there will be
greater levels of trauma and confusion.
The pieces of the network are already in place, the remaining task is to
properly activate and link the pieces into a critical mass of awareness.
This last step is now underway. This is how an Aviary helps to
spawn an Aquarium, and how birds learn to swim.
The
Aquarium is our business, and we are working to reach people
who are ready to be activated in the consciousness revolution.
Now about the CIA lunch with George Wingfield. It was
organized by Dan as a networking effort, and took place on April 15,
1992 in a restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. Besides ourselves and
George, participants included George’s wife, Gloria, three employees of
the CIA and an outside colleague of theirs. None of us knew in
advance what would be discussed. Conversation centered on eschatology,
crop circles, and an explanation of
the Aviary given to George by “The
Pelican.” There were no requests, no offers.
Afterward, George wondered what it was all about. The answers are
obvious, but they won’t be found in rumors.
Editor’s Note:
I was intrigued after
reading the “Aquarium Memo” because it, in essence, raised
more questions than it answered—especially on the eschatology issue.
I drafted a response and uploaded it to Don Allen, (moderator
for the FIDO UFO conference) requesting that he forward it to Dan
Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Several days later, I
received a call from Mr. Smith. I must confess that, being at work,
I was unprepared for the interview that followed.
Surprisingly, he confirmed the existence of the “Aviary,” the
shadowy UFO intelligence group that includes the infamous
“Falcon” and “Condor.” Smith also indicated that Richard Doty
was still an active member of the “Aviary,” although his primary
contact with this group is “Pelican.” Pelican’s principle duty is to
track millennial/eschatological communities, “entering a twilight
zone where psychic techniques are being generated by humans and
other entities.”
Mr. Smith recounted the October 28, 1992 event in South Korea
where religious devotees of a particular sect awaited the “end of
the world.” Over 20,000 members of the South Korean armed forces
deserted during this event and U.S. Army psychiatrists were sent to
deprogram and debrief them.
According to Mr. Smith, UFOs are primarily a
psychological/metaphysical phenomenon which are both preparing us
and pressuring us to develop our own psi abilities. Not that UFOs
are a single type of entity, Smith asserts that there are “powers
and principalities” at work—presumably angels and demons.
Furthermore, a radical program of psychic research and development
is currently underway near Los Alamos, New Mexico. This group’s
development of psychokinesis, parapsychology, and
psychotronics (a term used to denote psychic warfare
techniques) represents a danger of eschatological proportions.
“These techniques
have been available, but controlled, throughout history. Now,
other entities are forcing the issue,” says Smith.
The “Aquarium,”
as outlined by Smith and Guiley, is devoted to assisting the
“Aviary” in establishing a network of “spiritually advanced”
individuals to lessen the impact of
the eschaton event.
During the course of our conversation, Mr. Smith seemed
unable to provide proof for his claims. He did report that his
government sources “hinted at” an eschatological emergency. To prove
the evil intent of the entities involved, he referred to reports of
human mutilations in the Amazon which have been officially
attributed to drug dealers, but according to his sources, were
committed by these evil entities.
In closing, I passed along Armen Victorian’s question concerning
Rosemary Guiley’s association with Vance Tiede and “RADM”
(Rear Admiral?) Harold Bliss and their “involvement in the
UFO affairs.” Smith responded that it was Vance Tiede who originally
suggested to Ms. Guiley that she get involved in circles research
and facilitated her contacts in this field.
So what does it all mean? Mr. Smith revealed that the
eschatological issues raised related directly to the Biblical
prophecies in the book of Revelations. On the surface it
could be that we’re experiencing millennial fever at the close of
the 20th century. Then again, there are many reports of
secret military psi programs such as reported in Howard
Blum’s Out There and the accounts of Ed Dame’s commercial
remote viewing enterprise, PSITECH.
Mr. Smith has been invited to write an article for HUFON
Report that will articulate, in detail, his views and why he
holds them.
