Nuclear propulsion, ram jets, mufon
Little by little Eli began to gain weight until by ten years old his classmates made fun of him. His grandma frequently made disparaging remarks. He asked me why she was so mean. I told him she didn’t want him to suffer ridicule and low self esteem. He started counting calories, literally, memorizing the calorie intake of most foods or reading food container labels for their calorie content. About a year later he had slimmed down. Now he is above average height for his age and slender.
I became obsessed with learning about secret government projects, secret agencies, disinformation and secret black programs. I learned about Timberwind, a classified project involving nuclear propulsion, linear aerojets, ram jets, the Reagan era Brilliant Pebbles program, Navajo (still highly classified), the MX series of missiles in the late forties, early fifties, etc. I could go on and on. I learned about the political and military history of the US in post WWII, Vannavar Bush, Aerojet, Paperclip and it various projects, Mogul, the Truman era, OSS and CIA, NSA, and dozens upon dozens of covert military organizations loosely held by the DIA. I was looking for answers as to why it appeared our government/military found it necessary to deceive the American people. It was apparent to me that the USSR was well ahead of any US citizen in figuring these things out, so more than likely they weren’t keeping a whole lot from them. They were keeping it from us, the citizens.
My first thought was that secret programs generally prevented oversight and by effective lobbying the industrial/military complex and well as the military were assured of funding. But, I later reasoned that the powers that be had fractionalized after WWII and there were so many self interest groups that a single disinformation network or organization was unlikely to exist. But, I was wrong, to a degree. There were areas of research that strongly suggested a single organization was responsible for the bulk of the bad information and it pointed to some organization within the USAF Space Command.
I continued to post to the skunk-works net until sometime in 1996. I even met with many of those who posted at a small bar just west of Edwards AFB. Among the participants was certainly a covert guy, as I recall a small man who said he worked at a naval base in Oxnard, CA. For some reason I began to feel there was much more to the skunk-works net than met the eye and I asked the administrator if the newsgroup was being monitored by any organization. I asked after having had words with a lurker, Rich, the VP at RAND. The administrator replied to the group that 26 organizations were monitoring the site. I quit posting.
There is this strange mixture of information and disinformation that blends secret aircraft with ufos. In 1996 I began working, somewhat covertly, for the Mutual UFO Network (mufon) in Los Angeles. Without charge I conducted background investigations of people who popped out of the woodwork and claimed to have inside knowledge of government involvement in ufos. Most notably, I investigated Michael Wolf (see link www.ufomind.com/misc/1997/feb/d27-001.shtml ) discovered his real name was Michael Kruvant. In conducting the investigation I contacted Georgetown University to verify his purported education. The registrar told me the information I needed was in files in their basement and she asked for my name and telephone number. I gave it to her, but she never called back. Instead, Michael Wolf, aka Kruvant, called my contact at mufon and demanded to know who I was. Clearly, Wolf was connected to something bigger than was initially apparent. It seemed most likely that he was set up as a disinformer by whatever organization protects black budget programs. And complicit in this were dozens of other purported whistle blowers on military involvement with ufos, surely a cover for black projects. Still, I had to ask myself if there might not be some truth blended with the fiction, the most effective form of disinformation.
