I like this one, but I must confess that the "grass roots" element of
believers in Laissez faire have their work cut out for them when it comes
to convincing an American public in great and largely reasonable fear of
"soulless mechanical forces." Consider that, from Joe and Jane Public's
point of view, the major proponents of such economic freedom are the
captains of industry and the governmental lackies of captains of industry.
Why support a system of economics which appears to favor the elite alone?

[CTRL] Alien Bases on the Moon

1999-05-05 Thread Bruce Fleming


 -Caveat Lector-

Here is a pic of a cigar-shaped UFO taken by Apollo on the moon:

Here is a pic of a possible entrance to the moon underground hangars:

http://www.angelfire.com/co2/4research/images/moonhangar1.jpg

(I wonder if the cigar shaped UFO enters and exits thru one of those
crater tunnels)

Here are more pics of possible entrances to the moon underground bases:

http://www.angelfire.com/co2/4research/images/moonhangar2.jpg

http://www.angelfire.com/co2/4research/images/moonhangar3.jpg

Here one can see a dome base on the center of a crater. It seems
craters can function both as entrance tunnels to the underground
base and as a surface base of operations:

http://www.angelfire.com/co2/4research/images/mooncraterdome.jpg

Here's what the author of the book Fred Steckling saw with his son
on one of the craters. It was 3 cigar shapes UFOs parking inside.
Hours later it flew away and it really blow their mind away that's why
he wrote the book "Alien Bases on the Moon" after examining
hundreds of NASA Apollo pictures. There are 125 NASA pictures in
his book. To people who'd like to see more incredible pictures. There
are much more in the book (I won't post them anymore in fairness to
him and his effort). Also to those who own the latest edition
lemme know if private as I'd like to know what new pictures are
added. I got the 1990 Edition (2nd hand):

http://www.angelfire.com/co2/4research/images/mooncigarcrater.jpg

Well. These many pics in the book renewed my interests
in possible alien bases on the moon. I was turned off by this when
I heard how Richard Hoagland could be hoaxing a lot of alleged
structures on the moon... but this one is not related to Hoagland
but from official NASA pictures. I guess I'll have to train my 8 inches
diameter telescope on the moon one of these nights and observe
any activies there (btw.. there are so many people including astronomers
who saw stuff in the moon that shouldn't be there. Have you seen one
yourself?).

The Onassis Illuminati Family
Author:   Born Again <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date:   1999/03/23
Forum:   alt.illuminati




THE ONASSIS FAMILY-A CONTINUATION OF ARTICLES ON THE TOP 13 ILLUMINATI
FAMILIES.

Understanding the forces that are shaping our lives, on the one hand is
Jesus who aches to save us, and on the other side is Satan who laughs at how
he continues to put deceptions over on us. God has made provision for us.
God has offered us the understanding and wisdom of what is going on- We do
not have to remained confused as to how world events are happening or what
they are planning to do. The Bible says the wise shall understand. This
series of articles is offered to help people understand the real movers and
shakers of the world, the men and families who control politicians and
preachers like puppets.

CAST OF MAIN CHARACTERS
Aristotle Socrates Onassis -- named after two greek philosophers, went from
being totally broke at age 21 to being a millionaire at age 23. His fathers
first name was Socrates. Aristotle was an Illuminati king, a shipping
tycoon, an intelligent ruthless hard-driving man, a man of the world who
spoke a number of languages such as French, Spanish, English, Italian, and
Turkish. He married JFKs widow. His everpresent sunglasses made him look
like Al Capone to a number of people.

Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis-Her father was a member of the Society of the
Cincinnati, the American equivalent to the Order of the Garter. Her father
 Black Jack was corrupt, what is known as a womanizer. He worked at making
a living from the stock market. Jackies step-father was the Auchincloss
family, an elite family. Her step-fathers second wife before Jackies
mother was Senator Thomas Gores daughter. Her step-father was in Naval
Intelligence. Jackie went to the schools that the children of the elite go
to. On the anniversary of JFKs assassination, Orville & Jane Freeman were
the only ones to remember the date to say or do something about it. Jackie
went that day to Central Park and had a good cry.

Stavros Niarchos-Aristotles brother-in-law and Aris business competition.
Stavros parents came from Sparta, Greece. His relatives were rich. Stavros
went into shipping and after W.W. II broke out, left Greece to avoid having
to fight for Greece. He was a close friend of Colgate, Roosevelt and Bernard
Baruch, who he would invite to his house on Long Island. He rented his Long
island house from Harry Hopkins who was the man who told Pres. F.D.
Roosevelt what to do. Even though he was a millionaire, he had a difficult
time avoiding have to serve. Eventually, he managed to get himself situated
as a naval officer in intelligence for Greece in Alexandria, Egypt.
Information sent into the 69-70 Whos Who reference book about his war time
exploits are ficticious. Niarchos and Aristotle were friends from 1934
onward, but also at times enemies trying to outdo each other. Both
frequently went to St. Moritz, Swit., a ski resort. Stavros also frequents
an old Medici family Palace/estate near Turin where the Duke of Edinburgh
and Baron Elie de Rothschild like to go and shoot birds. The estate has many
and it isnt unusual for them to kill a thousand a day. Stavros is an
important leader of the Bilderbergers and a billionaire. He married Henry
Ford IIs daughter who was 38 years younger than he was, and divorced her
shortly afterwards. He worked closely with David Rockefeller.

IS THE ONASSIS BLOODLINE STILL POWERFUL?
Aristotle Onassis died in 1975. His son and heir to his throne died in 1973.
My inside information about the Onassis family being one of the top 13 goes
back to the 1960s and 70s. Is the family stili powerful? One big clue that
they still wield power within the Illuminati is that Stavros Niarchos,
Aristotles brother-in-law, is a powerful Bilderberger. The executive
committee of the Bilderbergers are the equivalent to 9° of the branch
Illuminati. Is the Onassis family still one of the top 13 Satanic
bloodlines? I do not know. The answer lies in doing genealogical work to
find out what the core satanic bloodline is that curses through the Onassis
family.
One whistle-blower on the Illuminati was Dennis Brunnelle, a Grand Master of
an OTO lodge, who became disillusioned with the OTOs Illuminati program.
Some of his information touches on the Onassis family. My understanding of
the Onassis family is limited in terms of their Satanic activities with the
Illuminati, but I will attempt to give my readers a better understanding. My
inside knowledge of the occult side-that is the secret satanic ritual
activities of the family is sparse, because my informants have very limited
knowledge of the Onassis participation. However, there are certainly plenty
of tracks in the sand which indicate who the business friends of this family
have been, and they have been very clearly those within the Illuminati or
with connections to i

HOFFMAN REPLIES:

Not adversarial, just exceedingly fatigued by right wing sloppy thinking,
right wing hoaxes and obsolete paradigms under disguise of expert
projections. I don't intentionally step on toes, but I'm attempting to get
us into the Victory Mode and to do that some harsh lessons will--alas--have
to be imparted.

No, I'm sorry, once again, the gentleman is simply not up to speed on this
topic. He hasn't read my book, "Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare."
He's operating in the old paradigm framework. It's easy to see; there's
really nothing to argue on that point.

"The Matrix" movie is not a continuation of any genre of previous "art
form", Wagnerian or otherwise. Matrix would not have been possible without
the alchemical processing, breakdown and decay which has created the
Cronenberg Videodrome world. This  was foretold by Huxley, Heinlein, and on
an even more prescient level by Arthur C. Clarke in his book, "Childhood's
End."

No teenage boy of normal or better intelligence who has been raised in the
computer/video culture, left or right, Christian conservative or atheist,
can view the movie "The Matrix" and not come away programmed. The movie is
not for adults. The target audience is kids.

The programming begins subliminally and works its way up from that point.
Matrix is beyond BF Skinner, beyond Freud.

The Matrix target audience becomes percipient and transmitter. Having been
through "The Matrix" they will heighten their awareness of and response to
the "twilight language" embedded subliminally and in many cases exoterically
in modern western society. This means their shepherding and attunement is at
a much greater level than that of the general populace.

As I have said earlier, The Matrix is MKUltra in celluloid. What is MKUltra?
In a specific sense it is the old CIA mind control for assassins, but in the
broad sense it is the inculcation of a spirit  heretofore largely seen only
among those  formerly termed demon-possessed; or, in non-religious
terminology what Poe, America's great detective and cryptologist termed "The
Spirit of Perversity," which he identified with uncontrollable homicidal
impulsion.

I wish I could say more but I am very busy. Talk-show host Michael Corbin
will discuss many of these issues with me this Sunday on his satellite radio
program (for details see http://www.hoffman-info.com/news.html). Beyond
that, there is no substitute for serving one's apprenticeship in my book.  I
lack the time to replicate my book in correspondence. I don't mind
discussing these issues briefly with those who have read my book, but for
those who can't be bothered, what's the point? I leave them to their sense
that they know "It" already, without me and my work; which is certainly
their prerogative.

Sincerely,

NATO betrays Kosovans? (Editorial)
by Parveez Syed (c) Shanti RTV

LONDON-UK (SC/SRTV) - NATO is set to betray Kosovo to appease
Serbian Christian despot Slobodan Milosevic; help improve US VP
Al Gore's election odds and help Russian dictator Boris Yeltsin,
according to sources close to the US and European war alliance.

Is anyone surprised by this lousy, sorry performance? Was it
worth the mass human misery and destruction? What was the plan?
What are the real NATO objectives? What was the covert agenda
behind the proposed new UN resolution on the Balkans? Now there
is a race to find suitable words to subvert the UN-SC, again.

According to Milosevic the American leadership was too cowardly
to scare the Serbs. "There is no clear, legal UN mandate for the
NATO's actions in the Balkans. So, NATO is now on the brink on
total humiliation. The US and European politicians and soldiers
can only take on starving, armless slaves who won't hit back
cowardly parasites," a source close to Milosevic told Shanti RTV
news agency.

"The outgoing US president Bill Clinton and draft dodger has no
intention to take the Democrats into next year's presidential
election mired in a messy endless ground war in the Balkans, even
if US Congress allows him. Besides the ethnic cleansing of
Kosovo is almost complete, and now irreversible," a Western
intelligence source told Shanti RTV news agency. "No serious
steps are being taken to organise and prepare the huge
quantities of material and temporary housing needed to enable
the Kosovans to return to their homeland, even if the Serbs are
driven out. The super power and NATO alliance led by Clinton is
now looking for a face saving way out of the Balkans. He is now
facing another humiliation," the intelligence source explained.

The US War Powers Act requires the US presidents to seek US
Congressional approval for deployment of US forces outside the
US within sixty days. In this case before Tuesday 25 May 1999.

Despite repeated assurances that everything is going to the plan
and on schedule, British prime minister Tony Blair lacks the
power and means to change NATO policy. Blair, who is often
refered by his political opponents as 'the total control freak',
can not reverse the ethnic cleansing. So, he ordered his Home
Secretary Jack Straw to take a token number of refugees. This
reflects Her Majesty's Government's concerns, convictions and
commitment. Blair's opponents in the official Her Majesty's
Opposition want a smaller token gesture, and Tory MP Norman
Fowler is almost ready to play the race and religious cards.

Blair has been praised by the secretary-general Muslim Council of
Britain (MCB), Iqbal Sacranie, at a reception in London on
Wednesday (05 May 1999) for his "courageous, moral and
humanitarian stand on Kosovo" and for "bold initiative he has
taken in support of the beleaguered people of Kosovo in their
darkest hour". Sacranie said: "we hope that such stand is going
to inform other areas of our foreign policy; for example,
Palestine, Kashmir and the continuing suffering of the civilians
in Iraq".

Re-assuring 250 MCB delegates at the reception, Blair - who was
in the Balkans on Monday (03 May 1999) - said: "I was on the
border where the refugees were arriving. It was one of the most
disturbing, shocking few hours of my life. They are the Muslim
victims of a terrible crime - a crime that has haunted the 20th
century - ethnic cleansing. They are the reasons for our military
action. Each one of the stories I heard from those refugees
stiffened my resolve to continue until we have created a safe
future for them. Ours is a battle to protect and strengthen the
values and freedoms we hold most dear". He told the delegates
that "we will not stop, we will not rest until the refugees are
able to return safely to their homes, protected by an
international military force".

So, how is it most likely to play out when Clinton or the US
Congress pulls the carpet? Well for start any US-Russian
brokered deal will leave the Serbs with power and authority to
create Greater Serbia. Genocide and ethnic cleansing will be

GORE AIDE INTIMIDATED INTERNET EXECS

**Exclusive**

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned that pressure was put on digital types to
back "Gore's" new post-Colorado shooting internet initiative.  During a
conference call with DISNEYABCAOLYAHOO on Tuesday, a senior Gore staffer
threatened retaliation to those who would not come aboard, it has been
learned.

["The vice president has a long memory."]

And sources tell how the new "one click" project was initiated by the
internet industry, with the encouragement of the bipartisan Internet
Caucus, in mid-1997.  It was NOT an Administration initiative and that
there was NO participation whatsoever by Al Gore.  The ego has landed.

Meanwhile, John Sharp, one of the most prominent Democrats in the country
and a longtime associate of Vice President Al Gore, has decided to back
Bradley for the Democratic presidential nomination, breaks Broder in
Thursday runs.

Sharp was a senior adviser to Gore's "reinventing government" plan, but he
is now reinventing.

"A lot of Democrats and independents fear he is tainted by the Clinton
administration," he explains.  "Bradley doesn't have those things hanging
on him."

JANET RENO DEVELOPS AGENCY THAT WILL DEAL WITH Y2K CRISIS

Attorney General Janet Reno has quietly created a small agency within the
FBI that will deal with Y2K repercussions.

The agency, The National Domestic Preparedness Office, is now up and
running -- and preparing -- despite the fact it does not officially exist!
Congress has not yet approved its budget.

A mission statement from the NDPO:  "To coordinate all Federal efforts,
including those of the Department of Defense, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Energy, and
the Environmental Protection Agency, to assist State and local first
responders with planning, training, equipment, and exercise necessary to
respond to a conventional or non-conventional weapon of mass destruction
incident."

But investigative legend Jack Anderson is set to report in his syndicated
column that the NDPO will be the federal authority for any national Y2K
repercussions.

Anders also reports:  Later this month, the Federal Emergency Management
Agency will hold a national "table top" simulated scenario drill -- similar
to the "war games" played out in the military.

The drill "will pull together all emergency and military resources. FEMA,
along with the National Guard, is responsible for coordinating state and
local responses to Y2K problems while the State Department will cover
international social problems," Anderson
reports.

The U.S. military is quietly planning a sophisticated social-response
network in case civil unrest should erupt.

Military types are denying a newspaper story that captured Marines in a
"civil unrest exercise" at Quantico.

"They told me what the exercise was about and then asked me not to report
it," says Dave Ellis of the POTOMAC NEWS.

The reporter filed a Page One story that ran with a photo apparently
showing the Marines in "Y2K riot training".

"[The Marines] were worried that people would think they were painting
helicopters black and training for a huge government crackdown at the
millennium," he explains.

NATO AND RUSSIA AGREE ON KOSOVO FORCE

NATO and Russia have will issue a joint statement Thursday on ending the
conflict in Kosovo.

A senior German official tells Thursday NY TIMES that an "outline accord"
had been reached with Russia on the need for "an international civil and
security presence" that would enter Kosovo under a UN mandate.

NBC NEWS, fresh from a one-on-one interview with President Clinton also
reported the development late Wednesday night.

[When asked if the president had given anchor Brokaw the goodie off camera,
one NBC NEWS executive in New York laughed.]

The WASHINGTON POST is rushing to report that the statement calls for an
"international body to run Kosovo... Russia would acknowledge that a
international military force is needed in Kosovo -- not the observer force,
armed only for self-protection, that Moscow and Belgrade alike have
insisted on in the past."

laid by Yugoslav forces, and to help begin rebuilding devastated villages

AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY ON THE CAUSE OF B.S.E.

April 1998

To:
Lord Justice Phillips
PO Box 163
LONDON
SE99 2UZ

Submission to B.S.E. Inquiry

In 1992 myself and my family were diagnosed as suffering from Organophosphate sheep dip poisoning by blood tests carried out at Guys Hospital, London.

The fact that we all nearly died was seen as an irrelevance by Government departments. There was no treatment offered, or indeed any acknowledgement of our predicament. In simple terms, we were to be ignored to enable Government to cover its tracks - after all, they were responsible for licensing all veterinary products. In the face of such stonewalling, I decided to make my own enquiries, and contacted the following establishments for information - I am extremely grateful for their help:

The World Health Organisation
The Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, USA
The University of New Jersey, USA
The Pesticide Trust
The Royal Society of Chemistry, London
The Hazards Society, London

plus many private individuals. I am also extremely grateful to my lawyer for his support and advice. He has copies of all the papers in my possession.

With the help of the Royal Society of Chemistry, I obtained scientific information on all the OP compounds used as sheep dips, ie Diazinon, Propetamphos, Chlorfenvinphos, Carbophenothion; and via a third party, went on to Crufomate, which he had used as a warble fly dressing. I later explored all the OPs which had been used in the Gulf War.

What I began to find extremely worrying from this collection of information was that all OPs were cholinesterase inhibitors - the damage caused was cumulative, and research using laboratory animals showed that most were carcinogenic and also responsible for malformations in up to and including the third generation of offspring.

The destruction of the central nervous system, immune system and peripheral nervous system was also apparent with most OP compounds.

My next move was to collect as many published scientific papers as I thought were relevant. Copies of the following are enclosed:

1. Poisoning on the Farm by Dr Redhead, published in the Lancet in 1968. This paper explains the importance of the cholinesterase levels in man. It should be borne in mind that OPs were designed to attack the cholinesterase in insects, and will of course have the same effect on cattle.

2. Effects of Chronic Organophosphate Pesticide Exposure on the Central NervousSystem by Richard J Korsak and Miles M Sato, published in 1977. This paper is important because it exposes the frontal lobe brain damage suffered by exposed victims.

3. Environmental Trichlorfon and Cluster of Congenital Abnormalities by Andrew E Czeizel et al, published in the Lancet in 1993. This paper is devastating in its content, and the fact that it has been ignored in the UK is unbelievable. The effect on the foetus is beyond words.

There are many other papers in my possession, which are of course available to the Inquiry, but I hope to have painted an adequate picture of the effects of OP poisoning on the insect, human and animal species for the present. I move on ...

As mentioned above, I received an enquiry about Crufomate. The information on this compound, plus the sight of BSE-afflicted cattle on television, made me aware of the alarming similarities in both our situation and that of the cattle. To put it bluntly, the human OP victims were going off their heads and off their legs! The cattle were becoming more obvious than the shepherds (more than 900 shepherds have committed suicide since 1984).

Black's Veterinary Dictionary, 10th Edition (1973) provided quite a lot of answers where it describes the effect on cattle treated with Crufomate for warble fly. The VMD deny knowledge of Crufomate (see letter attached) but the British Veterinary Association should still have the results of all the testing done on cattle before they gave their blessing to its usage. I have persistently called for the testing of cholinesterase levels in cattle before and after treatment for warble fly. This is unnecessary - it has been done, and the results should be made available to the Inquiry by the BVA as a matter of urgency. The maternal transmission is explained in the following paper:

Reproduction and Growth of Progeny of Female Mice mated after treatment with Crufomate - author M A Khan - Research Station Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada; published in the Journal of Scientific Health in 1981. It is interesting to observe that when the first damning scientific papers on a product are published, the chemical companies reac
