Things seem to have quieted down -- well, I've been downright busy so what do I know. If there has been anything going on with the Martian anomalies, could somebody who knows please post an update. Hey, Clark, I'm finally able to post again. How's the BBS going? Once my PC at home gets up and running again, I've got a piece that I want to upload. I've been having severe hard disk problems with the new hard disk. So the PC is back in the shop.

Your subscription ends with this issue, and we are not taking new subscriptions or renewals. A list of available back issues is printed on the reverse of this letter for those who may {be interested in collecting. I had always intended to run the newsletter about two years, and {that amount of time has now passed. During this period the Communion Letter has gained a large circulation and, I believe, published some remarkable articles. But all good things must come to an end. I am not a UFO researcher and do not wish to endure the continued media attack that is associated with being involved in this field. In addition, the so-called "UFO-ologists" are probably the cruellest, nastiest and craziest people I have ever encountered. Their interpretation of the visitor experience is rubbish from beginning to end. The "abduction reports" that they generate are not real. They are artifacts of hypnosis and cultural conditioning. What we are experiencing is a perceptual anomaly that is sufficiently ambiguous and intense that it demands explanation. It is something that human beings have been experiencing for a long time. It is the cause of religion, of mythology, of folklore. Presently it is the cause of the "alien abduction" belief. What is really (italicized) behind our experiences? We are. This is a human thing. However, I would also say that it indicates that we - and our world - are vastly different, and far more strange, than we have ever dreamed, or dared imagine. With that I leave you.

Your review pretty much falls in line with another review I read, in UFO Magazine, I think. The outrageous price of the book for just a meager 234 pages escapes me! No pictures? The book is supposed to be an Encyclopedia, for crying out loud! I appreciate your comparison to the other encyclopedia-type book by Ronald D. Story. Perhaps that one is worth reading rather than Clark's. We all held our breath waiting for Clark's book, and it seems be asore diappointment. Was your impression that Clark just wrote the book in a hurry between other projects? Was he too anxious to get a jump on the subject now that we are in the 90's? I am dismayed that, according to your review, he only reviewedm - 8 - cases!! Your review makes me think I'll just buy this book someday when I see it for sale at a garage sale or library sale someday.

From: acobley@microcomputer-centre.dundee.ac.uk ? Subject: Trilateral Commision. ? Date: 28 May 91 11:32:26 GMT ? ? From: andy cobley ? ? I have seen mention of the Trilateral Commision on this digest ? for some time, along with the Bildeborg (sp?). My question is ? this, What are these two groups. What is there cover purpose, ? and what is their real purpose ? ? ? Andy ? ? acobley@mic.dund.ac.uk ? The following quotes are from a book about the Council on Foreign Relations, called 'Imperial Brain Trust,' by Shoup and Minter. I have inserted some other information (and opinions/comments) as parenthetical paragraphs to supplement their info. I consider this book and any other like it to be MUST reading if one is to unravel what is going on--especially in UFO investigations. There is much speculation over things such as MJ-12 and other doings attributed to the Council, and it is hard to discern truth from 'others' because everything is so secretive and authors are contradictory--sometimes in their own writings. In this book the authors review some major events in US history--WW II, Korean and Vietnam wars for instance--and show the influence of the Council in how the US foreign and domestic policies were shaped. It is a factual book. It is not about conspiracy theory (the Council's influence is neither a conspiracy nor a theory as it is easily found out and is undeniably true); the writings are not based on some 'secret friend' within the Council. Rather, it is based on documents published by the Council itself. These are well footnoted. After reading this book, I realized that the possibility of a study group like MJ-12 being created, whether it is called Majority or Majestic, was a very likely enterprise of the Council rather than an unlikely one. With its vast resources and interconnections, its domination of foreign and domestic policy, one can easily conclude that the description of the scenario of aliens/CFR/Kissinger fits well with the Council's capabilities and track record. The book goes through a lot of statistics of how many major U.S. figures, from presidents to cabinet members to representatives, are members of the Council. It also shows all the media, educational (all presidents of Ivy Leagues schools), and corporate membership. Also, there are the foundations like Ford and Carnegie, or the Brookings Institute. It is quite an elite group of powerful people. (Although outdated since it is 15 years old, it still provides an excellent starting point for you.) It also juxtaposes statements by presidents with opinions formed by Council studies. The similarities are striking. It indicates who is pulling the strings. The most interesting part of the book is the last chapter, 'Towards the 1980s: The Council's Plans for a New World Order.' (Oops!) And I thought that was Bush's idea! Well, actually I didn't. This book was written in 1976. This last chapter is most instructive since it allows you to see that which two writers deduced to be plans for the changing of the world economic scene in the future, and then you can compare it with what is going on and with what is coming out of Bush's mouth and the mouths of his advisers today. Bush is a member of CFR and the Trilateral Comission. The Trilateral Commission is a section of the CFR--the elite of the elite, one could say. It was founded and all original funding privided for by John D. Rockefeller. One writer once said that the Trilateral Commission was formed to make the world safe for international banking. But that is speculation so I won't mention that. Why is this a MUST reading? Because all people in control of major media outlets (including Ted Turner and CNN) are members of the Council. Your information comes largely from that media so you must know who is telling you what you are hearing. You may even sense the possibility of hidden intent! Also, people are always complaining in this newsletter about how the media covers the 'Woman from Venus' better than it covers scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. If indeed the Council decided, for whatever reason, that Americans should not hear about alien contacts, the members who control media outlets will act accordingly. That includes publishing houses. It makes the sorting on your behalf so much more difficult--yet still not impossible if you start with the right clues such as who controls what you are hearing. FROM THE BOOK IMPERIAL BRAIN TRUST Over fifty years ago, in the wake of the First World War, a group of wealthy and influential Americans decided to form an organization. The Council on Foreign Relations, as it was subsequently named, was designed to equip the United States of America for an imperial role on the world scene. The British version is called the Royal Institute of International Affairs, or more informally, Chatham House... (GBL: There is one of these in every major country, including Russia, and they answer to the Bilderbergers.) The Council can be seen, in part, as an attempt to reestablish unity amont the internationalist forces that were split by the League (of Nations) ratification controversy, and to organize a solid bipartisan base for educating American elite opinion as to the proper role the United States should play in the world. There was general agreement among the Council members that the United States had to have a large, even dominant, global role. As early as 1898, (Edwin F.) Gay had written: 'When I think of the British Empire as our inheritance I think simply of the natural right of succession.' (GBL: 1898 is in the wake of our first taste of imperialism in the Spanish-American war) In 1927, with 'Foreign Affairs' well established, more systematic attention was given to the study and research program of the Council. This aspect of the Council's work became its most important activity as the years went by. The goal of the study and research activities was, and still is, to provide advance planning to solve the long-range problems facing America's rulers. As such, the Council's work was often theoretical, putting scholarship at the service of corporate and financial interests. It is not difficult to find the reason for the Council's interest in the world and in an expansionist American foreign policy. The Council, dominated by corporate leaders, saw expansion of American trade, investment, and population as the preservation of the status quo at home, and this involved overseas expansion. As (Geographer Isaiah) Bowman put it in 1928, foreign raw materials, imports, and exports were necessary 'if we are to avoid crises in our constantly expanding industries.'...Bowman and the CFR concluded that a more activist American foreign policy was necessary. The assumptions, perspectives, and framework for the policymaking which led to United States entry into World War II were based on the Council's Grand Area planning. (GBL: The Grand Area was just about everything that was left and worth having after subtracting the land controlled by Japan and Germany.) Council memoranda to the Department of State during 1940 and 1941 often emphasized that Southeast Asia, including the Netherlands Indies, was a key world area of great strategic and economic importance. President Roosevelt agreed (GBL: surprise!) with the State Department-Council on Foreign Relations view, stressing the danger to British and American raw material supplies which Japanese expansion posed. The President stated during the second half of 1941 that a Japanese attack on British and Dutch possessions in the Far East would immediately threaten the vital interests of the nation and 'should result in war with Japan.' END QUOTING I stopped because I could go on forever short of copying the whole book. I don't agree with everything they say/believe/conclude, but that is because I live 15 years later than this book. I just wanted to give a taste, but I don't know if I selected appropriate sections. After reading this book, I remembered how people usually refer to our foreign policy decisions regarding Russia, China, Korea, Vietnam, Israel, and now Iraq as mistakes. 'We underestimated this, or overestimated that. We have stupid people working in the State Department.' I don't know how many people I have talked to truly believe this. This argument becomes untenable when you understand the brain power (or 'Brain Trust') which is advising our officials. I can only conclude that such actions are calculated. You can also read books by John Toland ( a Pulizter Prize-winning historian) and by Charles Tansil called 'Infamy: Pearl Harbor and its Aftermath' and "Back Door to War," respectively. These document how we (all the way to President Roosevelt) knew the Japanese were about to attack Pearl Harbor and yet did nothing about it. We had both their military codes and diplomatic codes broken at that time. We also put such economic pressure on Japan that its only choice was to go to war with us. Sacrificing a few ships and men in Pearl Harbor would not in any way spell doom for us, but would get us into the war as FDR and Churchill wished. I don't remove blame from the aggressive Japanese. Rather, I see how Council members guided the events using their positions in the State department and our Presidency. That situation is strikingly similar to the events leading to the Persian Gulf War. Does this mean that all members of the Council or all actions of the Council are bad? No. The members do lots of philanthropic work and studies that benefit people. I mentions this because I feel you need to know what is behind what people say and who are the people who are saying it. If you are listening to CBS or NPR, issues always come up so that they need to interview an 'expert' to explain to you how you should feel about the situation. That person is usually from the Ford Foundation, from Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, or from the Brookings Institute. You can bet that that person belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations. I hope this helps answer Andy's question and peaks some interest. It is worthwhile reading and the information, when applied to aid in discernment, can be infinitely helpful. I just hope people don't disregard it.

Anyone who has read between the lines of what Streiber has been saying would know that he's been leading up to this. He has never claimed that the aliens were real. This is why I have never completely written him off, although I do feel his behavior at times is aberrant. I've always felt that Streiber's writings on the field were thought-provoking, and actually some of the best stuff I've read, though he can be JUST as nasty and crazy as the rest of us.

On Thursday, the Fourth of July, at 6AM (yawn!), KFYI's Mary Ann Watkins will be speaking with Don Schmitt, co-author of UFO Crash At Roswell. Lt. Walter Haut, who wrote the famous press release that later had to be retracted, will be on the air as well, and possibly Dr. Jesse Marcel, Jr., one of the few people still living who actually handled the wreckage. Also on hand will be Mike Stackpole, head of the Phoenix Skeptics, with his own theory of what happened, and I will be in the studio for "local color," I guess. KFYI has promised us two hours, so we will probably branch off into discussion of Belgium as well. Set your alarms or your tape recorders for 6AM, and set your radio to 910 AM. Should be a very interesting show.

I knew I had seen a reference to other work being done that was associated to P. B. Book and the Colorado fiasco. Lt. Col. Lou Corbin referenced two projects that were a continuation of the Investigations as late as 1972; (Old New Moon and Blue Paper.) These revelations were made at a meeting of the Retired Military Officers Association in Baltimore. Several officers in attendance confirmed the continuing investigations. Dr. J. Allen Hynek's book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry revealed some* of the deception that had been done deliberately to the public and the Press. Excuse the delay in answering you but my *Better-Half* had emergency surgery and there was no time for the Computer. I got my hands on a series of four books by Yves Naud --UFOs and Extraterrestrials in History--printed in Spain and published by Ferni. Will get started today and hope for NEWS that could be factual. I read UFO Crash at Roswell and when we see you next month will bring some info on Pappy Henderson who was in Cadets with Bob who was also at Roswell. Thanks again for your time and aid. Don't know about the amount but guess we could go for a grant. I know they are giving money for dirty pictures for struggling artists. We are struggling, so we should qualify.

I don't recall hearing anything about the male being able to provide nutrients, just that males have an unused cavity in their belly that a baby could easily fit. I don't recall where I heard this though. As for abductions, it would seem for the reproduction process, the aliens would not want to bother with this added surgery and mess. The female already has the aparati, not to mention the 'mothering instinct' which males do not. It is easy to kidnap a male, take a sperm sample and keep it for a while until you are ready to implant it. Joint abductions where the male is used to fertilize the female is not necessary. Heh, also, I highly doubt a suddenly mysterious pregnant male would not attract attention and, probably, the pregnant male would have less a fondness for keeping the baby. -- David Villa - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: David.Villa@f2704.n206.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: David.Villa@f2704.n206.z1.FIDONET.ORG (David Villa) Subject: Re: Crash at Roswell Date: 24 Jun 91 18:27:00 GMT >Can anyone identify the UFO photograph on the front cover of Randle >and Schmitt's new book _ UFO CRASH AT ROSWELL_?
