Space Surveillance

Early on Eli was very good at math and less so in language. This was due in part to his having spent so much time with his grandparents, particularly with his grandmother who spoke pidgen (mix of Japanese, Portuguese and Hawaiian) Now he is great with language, but seems less so with math, or at least he thinks so. I don’t believe it.

After four plus years researching secret organizations, black budget programs, ufos, politics and military organizations and the military/industrial complex I came to realize that the crux to understanding disinformation lay in recognizing obvious disparity between what was said and what might be known. The most remarkable disparity I found was rooted in the ufo myth. That disparity was essentially the fact that the US military claimed no knowledge, involvement or interest in ufos while at the same time maintaining the “electronic fence” across the USA that monitored every plane, jet, satellite and piece of junk metal floating in space by NORAD. That meant they were intensely interested in space roaming objects of any sort.

By chance, in 1999, I had the chance to meet Nick. A friend, Robert, arranged our meeting and we met one Saturday night at the 1881 Bar in Pasadena on Washington St. Robert told me Nick has an outrageously high IQ and that Nick and I shared common interests. Robert introduced me to Nick and then left us sitting in the corner of the bar where we exchanged information. Nick, a black man in his early thirties with a heavy British accent, told me he worked as a consultant for a British contractor at Edwards Airforce Base. His principle responsibility was to insure the space monitoring system at Edwards functioned properly. He did not go into a great deal of detail about his work, but I assumed he was some kind of software programmer.

Nick told me there were many anomalous readings on the space monitoring system and that someone at Edwards told him the anomolies were due to aliens. Nick was scared to death. He believed the story and he felt the entire human race was threatened by their presence. Someone put the fear of god in him.

There were two possibilities. Either it was true or disinformation is used at even high levels of secret government. It reminded me of an event that occurred several years ago when four or so low ranking enlisted Air Force personnel deserted their German posts and went to Florida, where there had coincidentally been many ufo incidents, to await the end of the world. As far as I know now of those individuals were ever prosecuted for desertion, they were just quietly discharged. The events smacked of social engineering and mind altering disinformation.

Over the next few years I tried to arrange another meeting with Nick. Unfortunately he just disappeared.

Nuclear propulsion

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.
