Subject: Plan 9 from Outer space


http://www.forteantimes.com/artic/126/nine.html

I actually read Briefing for the Landing on Planet Earth - must have been
about 1979.I reccommend reading this book if you need to see how far
deception can go from Ets interferring in our evolution. .
It was so astounding at the time. Thought some of it wasn't quite right but
the whole idea of it was intriguing. The book revolved around Uri Geller and
Israel and how he was sent from a planet called Hoover to uplift the Jewish
race. They were talking about holograms being projected around the middle
east to make it look like miracles were happening. Even if it was a big con
it opened up my mind a lot and got me wondering about how much power ETs
have over us.

I suppose with Alternative 3 by Leslie Watkins and Close Encounters of the
Third Kind all appearing at that same time, the consciousness of the world
would have had a bit of a shock treatment.  20 years later, now we are being
enslaved by interdimensional reptoids?  So much for peace and brotherhood of
man with our space brothers. What about the Venusians George Adamski met and
Billy Meier's Pleiadians? That was the ideal. Now what?  Between you and me,
I think there are a few thousand ETs living here ready and waiting to
disable the technology they ( Illuminati and ET alliance) are intending to
use for mass mind control and other sinister things. They do have telepathy
to know what the evil ones are planning so we do have hope.

One New Age channelling cult, above all the rest, has had a huge - very
disturbing influence on hundreds of thousands of devotees worldwide. Known
as 'The Nine', its disciples include cutting edge scientists,
multi-millionaire industrialists and leading politicians. This exclusive
extract based on The Startgate Conspiracy by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince
looks at the sinister origins of The Nine


I am the beginning. I am the end. I am the emissary. But the original time I
was on the Planet Earth was 34,000 of your years ago. I am the balance. And
when I say "I" - I mean because I am an emissary for The Nine. It is not I ,
but it is the group…We are nine principles of the Universe, yet together we
are one.


The declaration above is typical of the channelled pronouncements of the
Council of Nine – or just ‘The Nine’. They contain all the usual New Age
ingredients of grandiose statements, shaky grammar and unprovable
predictions. But unlike all the other channelling cults, that of The Nine
has serious clout. Perhaps the reason for this is that they claim to be the
Ennead, or the nine major gods of ancient Egypt (see panel). Or could there
be another reason, one that owes more to The X-Files than the Pyramid Texts?
Although The Nine may appear to be quintessentially a modern phenomenon, our
research uncovered its truly astonishing pedigree. In fact, the story begins
nearly 50 years ago, in a private research laboratory in Glen Cove, Maine,
called the Round Table Foundation, run by a medical doctor named Andrija
Puharich (also known as Henry K Puharich).Set up in 1948 to research the
paranormal, among the noted psychics studied at the Foundation were the
famous Irish medium Eileen Garrett and the Dutch clairvoyant Peter Hurkos
(Pieter van de Hirk).Prominent members included the influential philosopher
and inventor Arthur M Young and the socialite Alice Bouverie (née Astor).


In December 1952, Puharich brought into his laboratory an Indian mystic
named Dr D G Vinod, who began to channel The Nine or ‘the Nine Principles’.
In the months before Vinod returned to India, a group met regularly to hear
The Nine’s channelled wisdom. Never known for their modesty, The Nine
proclaimed themselves to be God, stating "God is nobody else than we
together, the Nine Principles of God."

Three years later, there appeared to be independent confirmation of their
existence. In Mexico, Puharich and Young met Charles and Lillian Laughead,
former Christian missionaries who were by then prominent in the burgeoning
UFO contactee movement. (For a description of their involvement in the
Dorothy Martin circle, see Jerome Clark’s ‘When Prophecy Failed’ in FT117.)
Back in the States a few weeks later, Puharich received a letter from the
Laugheads containing messages received by their group’s channeller. This
message also claimed to come from the Nine Principles, even – amazingly –
including references to the earlier communications transmitted through Dr
Vinod. Could The Nine possibly be for real?

Perhaps the answer is embedded in the career of Puharich himself. After
disbanding the Round Table Foundation in 1958, he worked for 10 years as an
inventor of medical devices and achieved international recognition as a
parapsychologist, most famously studying the Brazilian psychic surgeon,
Arigo (José Pedro de Freitas). But all that was to pale into insignificance
because, in 1971, Puharich discovered Uri Geller.

At their first meetings in Tel Aviv in 1971, Puharich hypnotised Geller in
an attempt to find out where his abilities came from. As a result, the young
Israeli started to channel ‘Spectra’ – an entity which claimed to be a
conscious super-computer aboard a spaceship. However, Puharich suggested to
him that there might be a connection with the Nine Principles, and Spectra
readily agreed that there was. The Nine claimed that they had programmed
Geller with his powers as a young child.

Through Geller, The Nine alerted Puharich to his life’s mission, which was
to use Geller’s talents to alert the world to an imminent mass landing of
spaceships that would bring representatives of The Nine. However, Geller –
by now an international psychic superstar – bowed out in 1973 and has
resolutely turned his back on The Nine ever since. Puharich had to find
other channels.
He joined up with aristocratic former racing driver Sir John Whitmore and
Florida-based psychic and healer Phyllis Schlemmer. They found a new
channeller – a Daytona cook known to history only by the pseudonym ‘Bobby
Horne’ – who lived to regret his dealings with The Nine. Driven to the brink
of suicide by their constant demands, he too dropped out of the scene – his
despair being dismissed by Whitmore as "signs of instability". After this,
Phyllis Schlemmer was appointed the authorised spokesperson for the entity –
known simply as ‘Tom’ – who represented The Nine


Puharich, Whitmore and Schlemmer then set up Lab Nine at Puharich’s estate
in Ossining, New York. The Nine’s disciples included multi-millionaire
businessmen (many hiding behind pseudonyms and including members of Canada’s
richest family, the Bronfmans), European nobility, scientists from the
Stamford Research Institute and at least one prominent political figure who
was a personal friend of President Gerald Ford.

We also know that Lyall Watson (then the darling of the alternative scene
because of his seminal 1973 book Supernature) was involved, as was the
influential counter-culture guru Ira Einhorn – and Gene Roddenberry, creator
of Star Trek.

The key to predicting eclipses is noticing that they occur in cycles, or at
more or less regular intervals. The Sun goes round the sky once a year; the
Moon once a month. This means that, every month, the Moon ‘overtakes’ the
sun. This happens at the New Moon, and this is when solar eclipses occur.
But, of course, we don’t get an eclipse every New Moon. This is because the
Moon has an elliptical orbit: sometimes it passes above the Sun when it
overtakes it, sometimes below. But the Moon’s elliptical orbit has its own
cycle: it returns to the same place it started from every 18 years or so.
Thus – if seen from the same place on Earth – an eclipse will be followed by
another one just over 18 years later.

Roddenberry was part of that circle in 1974 and 1975, and even produced the
screenplay for a movie about The Nine. How much he was influenced by them is
unknown, although it is said that some of their concepts found their way
into the early Star Trek movies, and The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine
(what a giveaway!) series.



(There is a character named ‘Vinod’ in one Deep Space Nine episode.) Another
key player in Lab Nine was Dr James J Hurtak, who was appointed Puharich’s
second-in-command by The Nine. In fact, Hurtak had been independently
channelling The Nine since 1973.
Puharich and Whitmore commissioned British writer Stuart Holroyd to write an
account of their adventures, which appeared in 1977 as Prelude to the
Landing on Planet Earth (retitled Briefings for the Landing on Planet Earth
in paperback)

n this extraordinary book the true identity of the Nine – and of Tom – was
finally revealed. Far from being the chummy character that his rather
avuncular name suggests, Tom is actually Atum, the creator-god of the
ancient Egyptian religion of Heliopolis, and Uncle Tom with his eight mates
are none other than the Great Ennead of Heliopolis,


But even with such impressive contacts, all was not well with Puharich. Lab
Nine broke up in 1978 after a series of mysterious events that culminated in
an arson attack on the Ossining estate, and he fled to Mexico, claiming that
he was being persecuted by the CIA. He returned to the USA two years later,
and appears to have played no further part in The Nine story. He died in
1995 after falling down the stairs in his South Carolina home.
However, The Nine continued. Not only did Schlemmer and Whitmore continue
their mission, but Dr Hurtak has also moved on. He has become a major player
in the unfolding millennial drama currently being played out at Giza, but
perhaps more importantly he has established himself as a New Age guru par
excellence, travelling the world giving workshops on his book of channelled
revelations from The Nine, The Keys of Enoch. Written and laid out in
classic Biblical style, its darkly apocalyptic vision has huge numbers of
influential devotees.This we find very worrying.

Another Nine channel – an Englishwoman named Jenny O’Connor – was introduced
to the avant garde Esalen Institute in San Francisco by Sir John Whitmore.
She and The Nine became so influential there that they held seminars and –
unbelievably – were actually listed on the Institute’s staff, even
successfully ordering the sacking of its chief finance officer and the
reorganisation of its entire management structure..

This should concern us, because many influential people attended The Nine’s
Esalen seminars, including Russians who were part of the Institute’s Soviet
Exchange programme. Some of these later rose to prominence in the Gorbachev
regime and were instrumental in the downfall of Communism. (The Esalen
Institute now runs the US branch of the Gorbachev Foundation.)

The Nine are very much still with us. One of their recent channels, who is
also in contact with Tom, is the American writer David M Myers. He is
co-author with Britain’s David S Percy of that extraordinary tome
Two-Thirds, a history of the galaxy and the human race according to Myer’s
otherwordly contacts (who clearly have no sense of the absurd). Percy – best
known as a champion of the ‘Face on Mars’ and the ‘hoaxing’ of the Apollo
moon landings – was at one time part of the Schlemmer circle.

Among the other major proponents of the ‘monuments’ of Mars and their
alleged connection with ancient Egypt is none other than Dr James Hurtak –
The Nine’s great prophet – who has promoted this idea since as long ago as
1973. Richard C Hoagland – familiar to FT readers as another unrepentant
‘Mars Face’ enthusiast – is also clearly under The Nine’s spell. David Myers
and David Percy were, respectively, American and European Director of
Operations for Hoagland’s Mars Mission. In fact, his interpretation of the
‘monuments’ of Mars comes directly from The Nine. Flake though he may appear
(increasingly in these hallowed pages), but his influence over huge swathes
of the hungrier mystery seekers is undeniable. This is the man who addresses
rapt audiences at the United Nations.

But it is in the New Age channelling circuit that The Nine have truly come
into their own. In any other circles their true agenda would no doubt have
been rumbled long ago, but this is the New Age. Anything The Nine say must
be sweetness and light, right? But an objective reading of their divine
pronouncements reveal the first stirrings of something very nasty in
Paradise.

Their words appeared in 1992 as the book The Only Planet of Choice, credited
to ‘transceiver’ Schlemmer and edited by Mary Bennett (a one-time member of
the Schlemmer circle who also edited Myers and Percy’s Two-Thirds). This has
had an unprecedented influence over the New Age. According to Palden Jenkins
(editor of an earlier edition of Only Planet) more and more New Age
channelling groups are ‘realising’ that the real source of their wisdom is
The Nine.8 In fact, we have discerned what amounts to a campaign by The
Nine – or their adherents – to ‘take over’ the New Age. It would be a
mistake to underestimate the economic or even political potential of this
vast subculture – rich pickings indeed.


But The Nine’s influence does not extend merely to New Age channelling
circles. Andrija Puharich, James Hurtak and Richard Hoagland have all
lectured at the United Nations in New York. And individuals connected with
The Nine are also known to have influence with Vice-President Al Gore.
Of course, if The Nine really are the ancient gods of Egypt, then surely
there could be fewer more significant events than their return. One may be
justified in thinking that the more leading politicians who fall under their
influence the better; but are they really the ancient Ennead of Egypt? Can
it be that they have actually returned to sort us all out, scattering love
and enlightenment from their high moral ground?

Tom, in The Only Planet of Choice, chooses his words carefully as he
explains that all the races of the Earth were seeded from space-gods –
except one, the "indigenous race", the blacks. He is very careful to urge us
not to make an issue out of this. After all, it’s not the black race’s fault
that they have no divine spark like the rest of us.

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the history of The Nine is its
relationship to the career of Andrija Puharich. Recent research has revealed
Puharich to have a distinctly sinister side. As an Army doctor in the 1950s,
he was deeply involved with the CIA’s notorious MKULTRA mind control project
(see panel). He – together with the infamous Dr Sidney Gottlieb –
experimented with a variety of techniques to change or induce actual thought
processes… even to creating the impression of voices in the head. These
techniques included the use of drugs, hypnosis and beaming radio signals
directly into the subject’s brain. And, significantly, he was engaged in
this work at exactly the same time that The Nine made their first appearance
at the Round Table Foundation. The Foundation itself is now known to have
been largely funded by the Pentagon as a front for its medical and
parapsychological research. Puharich was still working for the CIA in the
early 1970s, when he brought Uri Geller out of Israel.
Puharich’s use of hypnosis is particularly interesting in The Nine circle.
In the case of Uri Geller and Bobby Horne, he first hypnotised them and then
suggested that they were in touch with The Nine – and lo, they were! Ira
Einhorn – a close associate of Puharich’s during the 1970s – confirmed to us
that he believed that Puharich was "humanly directing" The Nine
communications.

The evidence we have gathered strongly suggests that Tom and his fellow gods
originated, not in the stars, but behind closed doors as part of a CIA mind
control experiment. And what happened to that experiment? Now with hundreds
of thousands of devotees, some in very high places, can The Nine be deemed a
success? Of course, that depends very much on what the CIA had in mind. With
their subtle racist propaganda, perhaps the flaky New Age Nine should worry
the hell out of us.
