We must all consider what is happening to our youth and to this country as mood-altering drugs become the answer to every little bout of depression or anxiety. Whatever happened to support systems? Whatever happened to talking it out? Where are you when a friend or loved one reaches out? Read this letter, and be aware. This could be your son or daughter, your brother or sister, your friend.

Kate

Everyone:

On April 18, I received a short letter and a simple trifold from Zach Schmidkunz. Zach, now 24, was sentenced in 2004 to serve 35 years in a North Dakota prison for murdering a friend while under the influence of selective serratonnin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug "Zoloft" manufactured by Pfizer. Something inside me was moved--to tears. As I sat down to write Zach a letter, his trifold was open to his low-tech reproduction photo to the right of my keyboard and each time I glanced at it, tears would well up anew in my eyes.

After completing the letter and addressing it to the ND state prison in Bismarck, I checked the Internet and found that all of the articles depicted Zach as a “good-kid-gone-bad” who deserved to be thrown away as a murderer. The only online image of Zach was the mugshot taken of him shortly after he turned himself in. It is not very flattering and, in a very real sense, is not the kid in the trifold picture. The real Zach comes through the trifold photo; Zoloft Zach comes through the mugshot.

Below is the trifold that prompted my tears and desire to help Zach bring awareness to a growing problem in America: Growing numbers of SSRI-related suicides and murders AND the prosecution of capital crimes cases wherein the defendant was under the influence of these “anti-depressants.” The problem is compounded when you see how Pfizer effectively transforms the state into an accessory to the crimes of those who manufacture, approve for market and prescribe these drugs by supplying “persecutors” with a document known as “The Pfizer Manual for Litigators. This drug manufacturer-lawyer-produced document is given to state persecutors to instruct them on how to beat what is called “the Zoloft defense” in court by, in essence, stating there is no “science” to support, claims by the defense in court that Zoloft compelled someone to commit a capital crime.

Isn’t the FACT that Pfizer supplies persecutors with this damage-control document a tacit admission that there is a problem? Is it not the epitome of prejudice for the court to believe Pfizer/persecutors over defendants when Zoloft or other SSRI drugs are involved in a murder—particularly when, as in Zach’s case, the “murderer” was a good kid who never got in trouble and was liked by everyone his entire life until this Zoloft-induced incident took place?

Friends, neighbors, concerned citizens and everyone else who has contact with other people, you should be concerned. SSRI drugs are being prescribed like candy to the children, adolescents, young adults, adults, middle-aged persons and the elderly as if we are in the middle of a depression epidemic. According to the latest data, the number of “anti-depressant” prescriptions written by U.S. doctors in 2007 was 232.7 million in 2007—an increase of 25 million since 2003. These drugs react badly with numerous other commonly consumed-substances such as other drugs, alcohol and aspartame.

Now, after reading what Zach has to say and what his father has to say about what happened, put yourself in their shoes: What if you were the kid who had been, by all accounts, a “good kid” your whole life and then, in a moment of Zoloft-induced rage, killed your friend? What if you were the father or the mother who raised a good kid who loved his sister, loved his parents, got good grades and was a joy to be around--suddenly flipped and is now in prison for a period of time that will likely outlive you?

By now, we have ALL been touched by SSRI drugs. Some of us have horror stories and we KNOW what they can do to people.

Now for my final “now in this missive: Look around you and quantify the numbers of others who may end up killing someone else—or themselves—due to their mind/body/spirit reaction to an SSRI drug like Zoloft. How much longer are we going to tolerate courts taking the side of an industry that produces and prescribes drugs that set our neighbors up to commit murders that we know, in our hearts, would never have been committed had the “anti-depressants” not been involved?

Before I go, I would like to state that there are plenty of reasons for us, as Americans, to be depressed. I believe that there are biochemical factors that exacerbate depression to the point that drugs seem like the only way to overcome our depressed emotional states. It is my rather vast experience in this area that allows me to state, with absolute certainty, that if you help a depressed person clean up their diet, their depression lightens.

There is a lot more to be said in this area, but just suffice to say that, taking a wholistic approach to depression minimizes (rather dramatically) the likelihood that a depressed person will harm himself or someone else.

With hope and prayers for Zach, his family--and our increasingly drugged nation--

Don Harkins The Idaho Observer

My name is Zach Schmidkunz and I am 24 years old. I grew up as any normal kid does in a good, family-oriented, Christian household. I got decent grades, played sports and never got in trouble. In the fall of 2003 I was prescribed the SSRI antidepressant Zoloft for depression by a family physician. Then after only two and a half weeks on the medication, I stopped taking it not knowing the horrible effect that action would have.

Tragically on November 17, 2003 I shot and killed a friend of mine in the basement of my parents’ home. She had come over to talk about my depression and for no apparent reason, I snapped. What I didn’t know was that by stopping the Zoloft I was now under the effects of what is known as Discontinuation Syndrome. I went from being a normal 20-year-old college student, to a 20-year-old murderer later convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison for something a prescribed medication influenced me to do that I had no control over.

Sadly, I am far from being alone. There are many people at very young ages that have been on SSRI antidepressants and have killed people—most of them people they care about. I have been silent up until now. It is time I do my part to let the world know and help them to understand the dangers of these medications. I would very much like to share my whole story with you. If you do some research, you will find this is a very controversial topic right now. I am asking for your help. My friend didn’t deserve to die. Now I have to live with this horrible memory for the rest of my life. Please help me get the story out so others don’t have to experience this pain.

FACTS

* SSRI antidepressants include the following: Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, plus others.

* March 22, 2004 the FDA warned that SSRIs can cause anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia, hypomania and mania.

* Late 2004 the FDA issued a Black Box warning on all SSRIs indicating that they increase suicidal thinking and suicidal behavior. This warning, which is one step below a ban, is reserved for drugs that can result in death.

* 2006 revisions were made to the SSRI medication guide. In the symptoms to watch for it lists: new or worse irritability, acting aggressively, being angry or violent and acting on dangerous impulses.

I AM NOT ALONE

• Kip Kinkel—15 years old when he killed both of his parents and two classmates while on Prozac

• Christopher Pittman—12 years old when he murdered both of his grandparents while on Zoloft

• Jarred Viktor—15 years old when he stabbed his grandmother 61 times after five days on Paxil

• Chris Fetters—13 years old when she killed her favorite aunt while on Prozac

• Kurt Danysh—18 years old when he shot and killed his father while on Prozac

Unjust Rewards

On occasion, people send me missives that would otherwise not be posted on the internet, and I like this letter so much from Joe Morgan, that I had to share it with our visitors. The big question is, of course, is there something we as Joe Citizen can do to stop the inequity in all of this? If anyone has any suggestions, please send them to me at outtheretv@aol.com. I'll compile them and put them in this space.

After seeing yet another company lay off 500 hard working middle class while the CEO and officers have not taken any form of a pay cut of their 7 and 8 figure salaries AND.... will likely award themselves 6 or 7 figure bonuses for "saving" the company money by the layoff, I'm quite in a bad mood!

Just to put it into perspective, for every $1 million those fat bast---- make, 13 people could keep their jobs at $75,000 a year!!! Are you telling me the bunch of unqualified incompetent officers and the CEO could not (in fact, SHOULD NOT) collectively take a $39 million cut in pay to keep the 500 working? I'll bet the 500 they are cutting don't average $75,000 a year either, so they would be able to take less of a pay cut.

I note them as unqualified and incompetent because a company doesn't lose money overnight. Oh, yes, it appears to us as such, but the postmortem, if done, will show a multi-year history of neglect, abuse, irresponsibility and just plain stupidity on the part of the decision makers.

I find it endlessly ironic that the very people who lack the creativity, knowledge and ability to keep a company afloat are the very people who keep their jobs and unbelievable salaries and bonuses while the people who have absolutely no say-so in the matter, even though they probably did have the solutions, are put out on the street.

If you recall, when K-Mart went bankrupt, they brought in this "genius" CEO that was supposed to be a turn-around king because he was at the helm of CVS when it turned around. Never mind that CVS turned around in the late 90s, when if you couldn't make a profit in business back then, you just simply shouldn't be in business. Well, he came into K-Mart and made things worse than they ever had been. The reality is, this guy wasn't a CEO prodigy at all. He was a worthless, over-paid idiot who couldn't manage himself out of a wet paper bag. They paid him $15,000,000 to walk away!

Just wondering how much they PAID the officers and CEO at Bear-Stearns to walk away! Now Wachovia. Who's next? It's coming, don't worry.

I wonder why I can't get a CEO job. I'm just as unqualified! Just as incompetent! Equally incapable! In fact, I'll do them all a favor. I'll come in at half the pay, and ruin the company in half the time, and they can pay me half of the "walk-away bonus". It would still be more money than 90% of today's hard-working, qualified, and capable people will make in their lifetimes!

Now, who's scratching their heads about why America is sinking down the toilet?

Article 74 (March 9th 2008)
Chemtrails-A Call to Action

When first I arose this morning, the sky was a beautiful blue. No clouds, no pollution, nothing suspended in the air between the sun and me. Wanting to take advantage of this rare and beautiful situation, I went out to putter in the yard a bit. After about an hour, I stood up to stretch the back that was reminding me I was no longer 25 years old and saw, to my dismay, that the blue sky was gone.

It was now literally laced with chemtrails. In an hour! From where I stood, all along the South and Eastern sky near Las Vegas, crosshatches of lines were now spreading out, forming a milky white cloud cover where, just sixty minutes before, the sky had been so beautiful.

Since I didn’t want what’s in those chemtrails raining down on me, I headed inside. The words of Carole Pellatt, the guest we had just interviewed for this week’s episode of Out There TV, rang in my ears. Barium, aluminum, ethylene dibromide, heavy metals. Biological and nuclear aerosols. Aerial testing. No wonder there’s a white film covering the soil in the flowerbeds. No wonder the trees are looking so sickly.

Our beautiful desert sky was now a massive toxic dump, and there was nothing I could do about it. Well, except express my anger and frustration here. Some people drink, some people shout, I write: this time with a call to action. This has gone on long enough. We have got to do something about this.

One or two or even a hundred of us can’t do much about the chemtrails littering our skies, but I’m hoping that enough of us together can force governments worldwide to admit to what they’re doing (as Germany just did) and stop it. I don’t care what they say they’re trying to achieve: spraying heavy metals, dangerous toxins and hazardous biologicals into the air is not acceptable.

On this website, we have a page dedicated to the chemtrail issue. (http://www.outtheretv.com/chemtrails.cfm). We’ve provided links to other sites like Iseelines, CaliforniaSkyWatch, BakersfieldSkyWatch and Carnicom. The various health and environmental problems created by the chemtrails, and the substances found therein, are catalogued in great detail on those sites, so I won’t repeat them here, but I urge you to go to our chemtrail page and follow the links to the studies and documents that support what I’m about to summarize.

A serious food shortage is coming upon us, and I am convinced that worldwide aerial spraying is part of the problem. Plants cannot photosynthesize because the full light spectrum doesn’t get through to them. The bees are also affected by this distortion of light, and I suspect also by the metallic substances in the air, messing up their navigation systems. This fallout is most certainly poisoning them. Bottom line: the bees are disappearing, and without them, many crops cannot propagate. Our water is polluted, not just by chemicals from industry and unsustainable factory farming practices, but also by the chemtrail residue falling into reservoirs, lakes and rivers. How can we expect plants to grow properly and to provide us with safe nutritive value when irrigated with water filled with heavy metals?

One has to wonder about the rain that falls through these chemical clouds. Can you imagine what happens to vegetables and fruits watered with rain infused with aluminum, barium, and other mysterious metals? And I certainly don’t want to go singin’ in rain infused with nuclear fallout that circles the earth as a result of the DU weapons being used in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Millions of people are suffering mysterious respiratory problems that can be explained in no way other than as side effects of the toxic chemicals and heavy metals in the air. Many more suffer from asthma, something that was rare even just twenty years ago. Rickets is coming back because the ultraviolet rays of the sun don’t reach the skin like they used to, meaning human bodies can’t create the Vitamin D they need. And cancer…. Rates are skyrocketing despite the billions of dollars spent on cancer “research”. There is no doubt that environmental factors including the residuals from above ground nuclear testing during the cold war are directly responsible.

Oh sure, there are many factors contributing to these problems, but the one thing common to all is that the compounds in chemtrails can cause them. But who would want to do this to the planet? Surely anyone orchestrating the destruction of the environment with what I consider weapons of mass destruction would at some point considers the ramifications to their own food supply, health, and well-being.

But maybe the people behind this think they’re beyond reach of any harm. Maybe those who are ultimately responsible for this have a safe place to be or go, or maybe they have some protected food supply. Or it could be that they’re just sociopaths, dedicated to achieving their own ends without regard to the planet or its population.

So who are they, and why? Look at the chemtrails as though their creation was a crime (which it is). Who has the motive and opportunity? Who has the money to orchestrate this heinous crime?

One needs only look at the masters who manipulate the puppets in government. Who benefits when people are sick? Who benefits when food prices are astronomically high? Who benefits when the inhabitants of countries rich in natural resources are too sick to defend themselves?

You know. I don’t have to tell you. It’s the same people that benefit when you get cancer and the same people who benefit from war. It’s the same group that pushes psychiatric drugs upon pregnant women, and unsafe vaccines on babies. It’s the same heartless group that the left victims of Katrina to drown and die of thirst, then raised the price of gasoline in the devastated area. It’s the same group that gets no-bid contracts for destroying and then “rebuilding” countries they helped invade. Follow the money.

We have many problems right now. The economy is in a nosedive. We are facing a sham election, the outcome of which is practically assured in favor of those who control the machines, and we have serious weather conditions arising practically daily.

People may think that chemtrails are the least of our worries, but I have to say loudly and with a strong voice, “You’re wrong!” When you are not healthy enough to think, or your stomach aches from hunger, you will not have the strength to deal with anything else. We have to do whatever we can to protect our food supply, our families, and our health.

We have tried to force “elected representatives” in government and hirelings in the EPA to address the chemtrail issue. It appears that those robots can’t think beyond their programming, so they refuse to even consider the idea that their masters are deliberately poisoning us. So let’s go around them. Let’s use the courts.

If enough involved citizens worked together, we could build a dossier on the criminals and the crimes. Just as a prosecutor collects evidence in anticipation of a trial, we could do the same.

Gather evidence. Somewhere, someone who has access to aircraft can donate their time and equipment to fly into the chemtrails and gather samples of residue.

Establish the causal link between illegal aerosol testing and chemtrails to diseases and the poisoning of water supplies. Somewhere, someone with access to laboratories and equipment cares more for their fellow man than getting government contracts.

Is there a lawyer out there who would take this on, pro bono, or like an environmental case? Are there any doctors out there who would be willing to take the time to help investigate the cause of illnesses they see in their patients, and care enough to get involved?

If every one reading this article recruited others and got involved, can you imagine the case we could put together? Line up witnesses, collect and analyze samples, get experts. Dot the I’s and cross the T’s. Prepare a brief the likes of which Big Brother has never seen before.

Will we be able to fix this? Can we stop them from poisoning our skies? I don’t know. But we have to try. We have to do something. The bad guys depend on us being fearful and apathetic. We have to show them that we’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more. And if we do this one thing, if we force them to answer to the poisons in our skies, what else can we accomplish?

The U.S.A. was a grand experiment. This was to be a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Well, we’re the people. If we want to protect our way of life and our health, we the people have to get off our lazy, ample backsides and do something.

Article 73 (February 20th, 2008)
Planet X

In 2002 and early 2003, Planet X was just about everywhere in alternative news outlets. Nancy Lieder, Mark Hazelwood, Marshall Masters and so many others were on Out There TV and various radio talk shows, warning us of the catastrophes likely to befall us when the giant Nibiru, the planet identified by Zecharia Sitchen as home to the race of ETs that created us, passed by again on its orbit around our sun and its dark twin, apparently in May of 2003.

Well, 2003 came and went and… well, we’re all still here. The poles are pointed generally in the right direction and coastlines remain basically intact. The sun is behaving nicely, there doesn’t appear to be any huge planets aiming for us, and no volcanoes have lost their tops in the last few weeks. Oh, sure, we’ve had the occasional winter tornado and several feet of snow in areas unaccustomed to such winter wonders, but generally all is in order on old Gaia.

Economic meltdowns and preemptive nuclear strikes by delusional leaders are much more likely to impact our lives than any rogue planet, so most people have dismissed Planet X as being like Y2K. A non-event. And this week’s guest, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t seem to think the Mayan predictions around 2012 are anything to worry about.

But don’t get too comfortable, yet. While Planet X may not be in the headlines, there are no assurances it isn’t still cruising around out there, poised to cause some major turmoil in the not too distant future.

Recently it was brought to my attention again by a rather unlikely source. NASA. In particular, David Morrison, NASA’s senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute in California. In a somewhat shrill denial on his “Ask an Astrobiologist” web page, Morrison said that there is no such thing as Nibiru or Planet X and in fact accuses legitimate Nibiru researchers of being cultists intent on “scaring lots of people with totally false stories.”

Whenever someone within a government or quasi-governmental agency addresses an issue in this manner, I always get suspicious, and start digging. Why the effort to discredit researchers including the esteemed Zecharia Sitchin? Mr. Sitchin hardly seems like a “cultist”, and it was his work that originally sent many others on the path of researching the cyclical nature of catastrophic events. The word, “disinformation” sprang to mind, so, I started digging into the Planet X issue again.

The discovery of many small planets or planet-like objects including SEDNA has been presented by NASA over the last few years, each one of them with great fanfare. We have to wonder if it’s purposeful; to make people believe there’s nothing to worry about, that any of them could be the celestial body so important to our ancestors. But those small planets don’t seem capable of inflicting much damage on Earth just by flying around the sun. Plus, being as suspicious of all government-sponsored experts as I am, I suspect the old magician’s trick: “Look here!” they say, while switching the bait in the other hand.

So, back to Nancy Lieder’s website. Zetatalk.com is full of information that Nancy claims to receive from ETs called the Zetas. Although many researchers dismiss Nancy’s work because of the wrong “date” given by the Zetas in 2003, she is still diligently warning us of the earth changes imminent when Planet X comes back by us on its way out of our solar system. Additionally, many people around the planet act as local correspondents, sending information and photographs to the Zetatalk website, reporting on local earth changes and astronomical anomalies alike. While there is really no way to confirm the cause, we can certainly confirm the events as they’ve happened, and this clearing house of anomalous event reports is a wealth of information for anyone trying to keep up with geologic and weather strangeness worldwide. Visitors to the website wonder if Planet X’s magnetic pull on the sun and our planets is somehow connected to the catastrophic snowfalls in China and the broken undersea cables in the Middle East.

And it’s certainly not just Nancy Lieder and her Zetas warning us of Planet X’s return. Marshall Masters, at his www.YowUSA.com website, is also reporting on anomalous events, and doing his best to encourage people to prepare for what could be very difficult times ahead. He, too, seems convinced that something is imminent, perhaps connected with the infamous 2012 date most frequently connected to the Mayans.

While all this is interesting and somewhat frightening for us Earthlings, I wondered what the beings who actually inhabit that planet might have to say about potential catastrophes on Earth. After all, if at least some of us are the descendants of Nibiruans, then one would assume they might take this opportunity, while they’re in the neighborhood so to speak, to check on the colony. So I contacted the one person I could think of who could ask them.

Jelaila Starr, (www.NibiruanCouncil.com) claims to be the messenger and channel for the race of ETs connected to this planet. I asked Jelaila what her council has to say, and she wrote, “The Nibiruans continue to stand by what they have been saying for several years now. Earth will only experience earth changes in direct proportion to the degree of fear they harbor. In other words, if we do our emotional clearing and integrate our fears, the Earth will be in a higher state by the time Nibiru flies by and thus, barely affected. The Nibiruans call that a "mild cleansing." If not, the imbalance will cause Earth to have to purge very quickly as a lower vibration will be drawn up to the higher one. That means earth changes for Earth. So, the bottom line is that our future and that of Earth is in our hands. Every person on Earth has the power to impact and thus decrease...or increase the degree of Earth changes”.

So it seems we have an opportunity to affect the outcome of a seemingly certain physical event. We can fall into the third dimensional, fear based preparations like the elite who are building secret underground bunkers around the world, or we can decide we don’t need to prepare for that eventuality, because we won’t allow the changes to happen. They are not in our reality.

Can enough people come together to raise the vibration of the planet and keep it safe, or are we just deluding ourselves by thinking we can overcome cosmic forces?

I, for one, am looking forward to trying to keep it together. There’s so much left to do!

Article 71 (February 05th, 2008)
Root Rot

One of the best things about doing Out There TV is that we get to meet informed, intelligent people who are more than willing to share their information about many matters. We’re privy to some “insider” scoops, which may some day work to our benefit, but the most important benefit is that we see a broad picture of all of the influences that affect the entire population of the world. Whether it’s the terrible situation in Darfur, the imminent climactic and earth changes or the collapse of the world economy, we see how they come together, assembling a complete puzzle into a picture of reality never addressed by any of the major news organizations.

While I must admit that sometimes I would rather be puttering in a garden somewhere, doting on grandchildren and a pack of cats, here I am, immersed in this knowledge and struggling with how much to share, how far to push people into awareness. There is always the concern of being labeled a fear monger, just as bad as the nuts at DHS who keep telling us that our cities are imminent targets for crazed Muslim fanatics.

But I cannot keep my mouth shut when I know there is a solution. It will be painful in the short term, but I truly feel that we have no choice if our society is to grow and flourish rather than rotting at the roots.

All this excitement leads me to think about the possible reasons for this current state of affairs. Some see it as a punishment for man's depravity and wickedness (everyone's but their own, of course). Some see it as nothing more than the natural course of events, determined solely by the movement of our solar system through the Milky Way. Still others do not see these current events as something to be concerned about because everything is in divine and perfect order, there are no coincidences, and this is all happening to help us shift into some sublime dimension where everyone is equal and there is no suffering.

You’d have to be living in a cave (maybe with OBL – no wait, he’s dead, isn’t he?) to not be aware of the big problems facing the real estate markets and banking institutions. Even the puppet president has taken time out of his workout schedule to address the situation as only he can do. Of course, his solutions are directed at saving the banks, not the individuals whose lives will be ruined by economic collapse. His goal seems only to be sure those banks keep running, charging people $30 for a stop payment on a check and $5 to take their own money out of the accounts that can be frozen at any moment by the illegal, unconstitutional IRS!

But I digress. I said there is a solution, but first we must identify the cause.

In a very simple paragraph, here it is: Rampant speculation by acquisitive people with dollar signs in their eyes, boosted in their greedy pursuits by the Federal Reserve’s constant manipulation of interest rates, an economy built not on production but on shopping, and behind-the-scenes tinkering by powerful, wealthy banking and industrial cartels.

The Monopoly money printed at will is being propped up with bouncing interest rates and stock and gold and money market “corrections”, and not one of the presidential candidates (with the notable exception of Ron Paul) is even addressing the root of the problem. The Federal Reserve. It is a private bank, no more federal than Federal Express, owned by a group of lying, cheating scumbags who would like nothing better than to seize all of your homes and make everyone serfs, paying rent and being indentured to the same bunch of thieves that built this house of cards in the first place.

Right now, at this point in time, we have a chance to put an end to the grip the Federal Reserve has on this country and in fact the planet. We can tell them to take their funny money and bury it in their caskets at the Skull and Bones headquarters, because it is worthless. It is backed only by the confidence of the American people and the rest of the fools around the world who have allowed a bunch of crooks in boardrooms to determine their fate. These greedy bandits decide to whom will be given aid, under what conditions, and for how long. They decide how much interest we will pay, and manipulate the media until they convince us that it is good and right. They bought off the Congress, making them enact legislation that makes it impossible for people buried under mountains of debt, even from catastrophic illnesses, to declare bankruptcy and get back their lives.

The root of financial evil in the U.S. and perhaps around the world lies in the Federal Reserve. The late Aaron Russo did everything he knew to awaken us to this fact, and Ron Paul is now blowing the warning whistle, trying to get us to pay attention. The question is, do we have the backbone to grab a shovel and work along side him to dig it out of our lives?

Article 70 (January 31st, 2008)
Prison Planet

There is Chinese curse that some say is a Buddhist blessing that goes, "May you live in interesting times."

Well, friends, this year we are either cursed or blessed beyond our wildest dreams. As I write this in mid-January 2008, gold has soared to over $900 an ounce, the American dollar has dived into the Marianas Trench, the second of two severe winter storms has just wreaked havoc on the Midwest and Northeast, several tornadoes touched down in Alabama last week, and the never-ending occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan threatens to plunge the planet into World War Three.

Whew! What a ride!

All this excitement leads me to think about the possible reasons for this current state of affairs. Some see it as a punishment for man's depravity and wickedness (everyone's but their own, of course). Some see it as nothing more than the natural course of events, determined solely by the movement of our solar system through the Milky Way. Still others do not see these current events as something to be concerned about because everything is in divine and perfect order, there are no coincidences, and this is all happening to help us shift into some sublime dimension where everyone is equal and there is no suffering.

I suppose there's something to be said for each point of view, but while I was considering the possibilities over the last few days, I remembered something said by our very first guest on Out There TV, a contactee by the name of Ray Holm. Ray has since passed away, making it impossible to ask him what he or his extraterrestrial visitor would think about the state of the planet right now, but his would have been, I think, a unique perspective on Earth, 2008.

In a story reminiscent of the impulse experienced by the contactees in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", Ray was drawn to a spot on the highway near Area 51 in Nevada, where he was met by a being he came to know as EHMR (pronounced "ehm"). This being claimed to be from another universe, one very far away, in which humans originated.

According to EHMR, miscreant human beings from his Home universe were banished here millennia ago, much as the English sent prisoners to Australia to get them out of England in the 18th century. These humans of various races were sent to Earth from many different planets in that universe and left to make it on their own. They were told that they could get back Home, but they would not only have to survive physically, they would also have to overcome their evil ways and rehabilitate at the soul level.

That seems as reasonable an explanation as any other I've heard for the appearance of humans on the planet, and it also explains the ongoing conditions here. If the ancestors of so-called intelligent life on this planet were in fact evil outcasts from another universe, it's no wonder we're always fighting and jockeying for position, much like inmates in a prison.

Since the beginning of recorded history, wars, suffering, misery and famine seem to be the order of the day. Occasionally there are short periods and isolated locales where peace, kindness and prosperity became the norm, and perhaps it is during those times and in those places that some of the ancestors of those original exiles remember the reason they're on Earth, and figure out a way to transcend their situation. Unfortunately, it seems that lesser-evolved bullies from the next cellblock always throw a wrench into the works, resulting in a lock down of the prison, and everyone has to start over again.

EHMR's revelation would also explain the myths perpetuated in several cultures of being cast out of paradise only to forever search for a way back. Perhaps this is where the idea of heaven became entrenched in the human psyche. Somewhere "up there" where "God" sits in judgment is our heavenly home.

The question is, of course, is it too late to get back to paradise, to get back Home? Will the planet self-destruct before we rehabilitate ourselves?

EHMR told Ray that some humans have the knowledge to enable this transition, but have used it to their own advantage while keeping the rest of humanity ignorant and enslaved. The true nature of the soul, our reason for being here on earth and so much more is known by some, but the keys to the kingdom are kept secret, to be guarded at all costs, for if most of the humans on the earth understood the truth and transcended this time and place, the rulers would have no one to rule.

They keep Westerners under control with mindless entertainment and the culture of consumption, taxation and gluttony while the poorest on the planet are enslaved by starvation and war. Exacerbating the problem is the fact that most humans, in their desire to avoid responsibility, gladly hand over their power to the priests and the politicians, making it ever more difficult to escape this prison planet.

But time is running out. The changes on the earth are coming faster and more ferociously. Can we rehabilitate in time? Do we stay here and endure endless suffering or get off this rock and go Home? Whether that is a physical place or merely a state of mind I don't know, but one thing seems certain. If we accept the responsibility and embrace our power, we can insure all these interesting times truly are a blessing.

Believing is Not Knowing

Michael Horn recently released a new DVD about Billy Meier's experiences with the Plejarans. Much more than simply an outline of the events, "The Silent Revolution of Truth" is also a discussion of spirituality, which I found intriguing. Michael is a guest on Out There the week of January 13th, and I do hope you'll tune in to catch some of the video from this amazing DVD, and to hear some of our questions about the Billy Meier case.

Despite the shrill protestations of the debunkers who continue to assert that Billy is faking the thousands of photos and videos he has acquired during his experiences, there can be no doubt that this one-armed farmer in Switzerland has had amazing contact with beings from a distant star system. For reasons that will become clear later, these extraterrestrial humans will not land on the White House lawn so that everyone can know they are real, but they have given Billy much information to pass on about our geo-political situation, and about the very nature of the soul and life itself. The fact that what they say is contrary to accepted dogma is probably why the message has met with such great resistance.

Billy's Plejarans have told him God is an imaginary figure that has been created by human beings so they don't have to bear responsibility themselves. Humans are somehow programmed to believe that this omnipotent being is responsible for us and everything we do and are, and for our fate. That would mean that we have no power over or responsibility for anything we do.

But the Plejarans say that's not true. They adamantly assert that human beings are solely responsible for everything we think, do, feel and undertake. We must bear responsibility and savor all the positive and negative that we process through our thoughts and feelings.

No wonder there have been so many attempts on Billy's life and attacks against on his credibility. Responsibility is not something we've been programmed to accept. "Let Go and Let God" is much easier than "Saddle Up and Do your Job".

Colonel Wendelle Stevens is also interviewed in this DVD. In it he says that the Plaeidians tell us that no earth religions are valid. They're all dogmas created by men to control men. We don't need an intercessor and we shouldn't be taking anybody else's ideas about religion. It's all internal. Everyone has his own contact with the Creation.

Perhaps this is why many powerful mainstream religions teach that extraterrestrials are evil, or messengers of Satan or some other such nonsense. If mankind took this message from this race of ETs to heart, and turned away from religious dogma to focus on the nature of the soul, then humans would be free. We would be free to make our own connection with Creation, but that would enrage those with a vested interest in the status quo. If the rulers of the earth could no longer instill fear of eternal damnation to make their minions believe and behave in a certain way, then they would lose their hold on us. Also, if we take religion out of the mix, there is no basis for wars based on those differences. Not good for the military-industrial complex!

The question was asked, 'Why then, do the Plejarans not make themselves known to more people, and help straighten us out?" Billy's answer made more sense than anything I've ever heard or read before.

All of the "gods" of ancient religions were extraterrestrial humans, many of them the forefathers of the Plejaran. Because their forefathers were either directly or indirectly responsible for many of the religions here today, they want to help us, but this time they must do so without directly interfering with us. The last thing they want is to be worshipped again as gods.

Humans are so conditioned to look for "Saviors" of some kind; they would probably deify Plejarans or any other extraterrestrial group that showed up with answers to any of our problems. That would only result in more problems, including yet another religion, so we might do well to question the motives of any extraterrestrial group that does try to offer us salvation by "showing us the way". Creating another religion divides the people of earth yet again, so it may not be wise to trust anyone coming from the heavens claiming they're here to save our sorry butts from the ecological and military mess we're in.

On the other hand, even if all humans were to overcome the brainwashing that has been so successfully used against us, it's not likely that we're going to fix all of our problems. We have no control over cosmic events or natural disasters, and it may well be that physical earth changes are necessary to enable a spiritual change.

But we can affect the future created by man by changing the way we think. We can go within; we can learn our thoughts and correct ourselves. We can detach ourselves from the false teachings, which hammer fear and suspicion into us, and pass it on. Here's a new mantra... "Think for yourself!"

We can do something about the wars and the killing, because we can choose not to participate. We don't have to believe it's okay to kill. We don't have to buy into the belief system that if you don't fight for your country you don't love it. There is no love so powerful as that which leads to peace. If there are no soldiers, there can be no wars. We can start from the bottom and work up; we can start with ourselves.

The planet is in trouble because of millennia of false leadership and belief. The old system is not working. War and Greed and Hatred and Fear are the fruits of the belief system currently in place. There will be great resistance against any paradigm shift, but we have no choice. With a new paradigm of knowing rather than believing, of looking within and learning from our own experience, we can, as Michael so poetically puts it in "The Silent Revolution of Truth", sew the seeds of peace and let them develop in the fertilizer of the times we are in.

Article 68 (December 25th, 2007)
Merry Christmas

The memories of happy Christmases spent with my extended family in a little farmhouse with a beautiful tree and lovingly prepared food have sustained me through many troubled times. Years of singing in the church choir and playing in Christmas recitals enhanced that special feeling of comfort and joy, and even today I cannot hear Silent Night without tears welling up in my eyes. Those were the best of times and I treasure every moment.

Nevertheless, I have struggled with a dilemma over Christmas for many years. The story of the birth of a child allegedly sent by God to be the Jewish Messiah led to the formation of a religion which has ultimately resulted in the death and suffering of countless millions, Christians and non-Christians, believers and non-believers. As I get older and see more of the world, I see daily how zealots of all stripes have created strife and instituted wars by capitalizing on the manufactured religious differences amongst people.

It's hard to break old habits, though, so each year I decorate a tree with the ornaments I've cherished for decades and bake goodies reminiscent of those made by my mother and grandmothers before me. I try to recapture that little Christmas cocoon of peace and harmony for two or three weeks of the year, but lately it is becoming increasingly difficult.

I thought it was the wars and threats of war and the economic and natural disasters looming over the horizon that were making it difficult to celebrate in even my own secular way. But as I was baking one evening, I could hear the television around the corner in the living room, and a vague sense of unease began to invade my thoughts.

The setting for the program was supposedly a little town at Christmas, but the word "Christmas" was never used by any of the characters. It was "holiday" tree and "holiday" gift. Nobody said the "C" word. Since I couldn't see the screen and could only hear the dialogue, it was very noticeable and frankly, it bothered me. "Can't you just say Merry Christmas?" I wondered. But then, a timer went off and I forgot all about it until a couple of days ago when I braved that most terrifying of all commercial institutions….The Mall.

As I dodged the crazed bargain hunters and the screaming children, I realized with a jolt why this Christmas season and those for the last decade or so have not felt quite right. The decorations were beautiful, but not particularly Christmas oriented. Everything was very modern and shiny, purple and blue and gold, but nothing red and green. The only "Christmas" corner was that in which Santa Claus and his elves were charging $15 for photos with the jolly old elf.

As I sat drinking my "holiday spice" latte, I realized with the clarity of someone just awakening from a long slumber that the thorn threatening to pop the delicate bubble of peace and happiness I had been nurturing was the specter of political correctness.

Though the mall was filled with shoppers who were maxing out their credit cards to give their loved ones and business contacts a Christmas to remember, I did not once hear "Merry Christmas" coming from the mouth of any store clerk. "Sales associates" (another PC term) have been trained not to utter "Merry Christmas" for fear they might somehow offend other-Holiday shoppers. That's pretty bizarre, since we know that ninety percent of the shoppers are there to buy Christmas presents and Christmas is the catalyst for most of the retail business in this country every year.

In the push to appease the sensibilities of a few paranoid and/or irrational individuals, common sense has taken flight with the reindeer. This desperate political correctness has diluted Christmas even more than the crass commercialism. But it's not just here in the U.S. this is happening.

In Australia, Santa's are now forbidden to say, "Ho, Ho, Ho" because someone somewhere in the country construed the term as an insult. Remnants of Don Imus's ill-thought reference to "nappy headed h…s", I guess. Australian Santa Claus impersonators are now supposed to say, "Hi, hi, hi"! How stupid is that?

Children in some parts of England are not allowed to bring home made Christmas goodies to school because, according to bureaucrats, there's no way to know for sure exactly what's in them. Someone might be allergic to something or one of the ingredients could be forbidden in someone's religion. Are they kidding us? Kids have been bringing cupcakes and cookies to school for decades and I'm pretty sure no child has ever died from eating one of them.

Paranoia and irrational political correctness have done much to destroy not only Christmas, but also our society in general. While I have absolutely no patience for cruel ethnic jokes or insulting nicknames, it seems that this fear of offending someone's sensibilities by overtly in any way displaying one's affiliation is misdirected, effectively eliminating the possibility of any intelligent discourse about pretty well anything.

I do not share the religious devotion of many Christians and have serious doubts about the whole myth of the nativity, but I do appreciate that for many people, this is the most important day of the year. For them, it symbolizes their identity as Christians; it gives them hope and serves as a reminder to reach out to their fellow man. Why not let them enjoy it?

It seems fairly certain that this man whose birth we're supposedly celebrating was a gentle, wise man who wanted nothing more than for people to be kind to each other. He called for peace and forgiveness. He wanted us all to get along. Much like Buddha and Ghandi and so many other teachers through the ages, he came along to try to make the world a little better place.

Whether or not he was born in a manger, or was a son of a God or born to a virgin doesn't matter. If celebrating his birth makes people a little kinder to strangers, more generous with their time and wealth and anxious to "Give Peace a Chance", then I say, "Merry Christmas".

A Tribute

In our daily struggles against injustice, cruelty and greed, it's easy to forget the loving kindnesses bestowed upon us by others. It is easy to forget that there are genuinely good and loving people on the planet, and we should be thankful to whatever Creative Force is out there for granting us whatever time we have in their presence.

Today I have cause to remember the goodness of mankind, for today, one of the most wonderful human beings ever to grace this tired old planet left it. Today, my mother-in-law passed away, leaving behind her five children and their spouses. We will all miss her terribly.

There is not space in this column to articulate the legacy of this remarkable woman who let not one day go by without joy and laughter. No matter how difficult her life became, Helen Mucci did not waver. Widowed by the age of 40, she raised five children, teaching them to be strong, kind, resourceful and honest, to respect everyone, and above all to always act out of love rather than fear.

Last February, she wrote a Prayer for Universal Peace. In her honor, and in the spirit of the season I post it here. Perhaps everyone who reads it could chime in and help Helen Mucci work her magic from "the other side".

Universal Prayer for Peace

I pray that our leaders; men and women in all countries and nations in the world, regardless of race, color or creed, would come together in an amicable agreement for peace in the world and an end to war and strife; That we love one another as Christ loved us; That we use our time and energy to see peace for all mankind.

What a joyous world it would be!

I pray that we have good and honest and God loving men and women in positions of authority and leadership.

May God Bless us All

Article 66 (November 22nd, 2007)
In a Perfect World

In May of 2001, Dr. Steven Greer's Disclosure Project held a press conference, at the National Press Club. There, several credible witnesses including high ranking former military officers described their firsthand experiences with extraterrestrial phenomenon. Despite the hopes of many of us in the UFO community, nothing came of it but for a few scattered mentions and then, September 11, 2001 happened. There was no chance of further discussion as the mainstream media got busy drumming for war.

This past November 12th, another press conference was held at the National Press Club. This time, Larry King did a whole show on the issue the Friday before, perhaps hoping it would spur his colleagues to pay attention this time. Alas, nothing happened, at least not as I write this on November 14th, 2007. NASA, the Pentagon, the White House, Congress - nobody has responded to honest entreaties for the issue to be examined officially, and other than a few smirking comments from a couple of mainstream anchors, the whole event has been ignored by the press.

Why is that? Perhaps it's because Lindsay Lohan spent 84 minutes in jail this week and O.J. Simpson's trial started in Las Vegas. Coverage of these gripping celebrity matters must have been considered much more important by the news directors than the fact that extraterrestrial visitations could be threatening our national security.

But we can address Larry King's opening question on Friday, November 9th. Is full disclosure necessary only because of the threats against our national security?"

Surely we can agree that full disclosure is necessary for many reasons, only one of which is potential threats to national security. While that is no doubt an issue, the one which Steven Greer has been pushing for years is equally important. If life forms from star systems light years away manage to travel here, they must be using energy systems not dependent on combustion of fossil fuels. Wouldn't it make sense to acknowledge that technological advance and tap into it, especially with wars supposedly being fought over oil and manmade CO2 levels being blamed for global warming?

Another reason for full disclosure: It would help us understand our true place in the universe, and thereby erase the divisions between us. President Reagan made a good point when he said to Mr. Gorbachev how easy their tasks might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another planet. We'd find out once and for all that we are all just human beings here on this earth together. A little national pride is a good thing, but if we were all to understand that first and foremost we are Earthlings, and our home is just one of millions or perhaps billions of others also hosting intelligent life, perhaps we would take care of it as a cohesive unit rather than separate cultures and countries vying for ever bigger pieces of the pie.

Full disclosure might also open up doors to cures for many diseases. Many contactees have claimed to be cured of terrible diseases through the intervention of their alien benefactors. If our institutions formally acknowledged their presence and technological acumen, might alien medicine men help us eradicate the terrible diseases striking our populace?

In a perfect world, the truth would come out, and we could proceed to be a fully integrated, peaceful and healthy species inhabiting a planet we all treated with care.

Therein lies the reason there is no full disclosure. The rulers of our world do not want us to come together. They don't want us to be healthy or more intelligent or drive vehicles that do not deplete the planet's natural resources or pollute its atmosphere. They cannot risk losing one iota of their economic or political power.

Human-invented technologies that could do away with pollution are suppressed and the inventors are "disappeared" or destroyed financially. I have been told personally by the inventor of a gasoline additive developed in the 1970s that we would have absolutely no emissions from automobile exhaust, and would be getting 70 miles per gallon right now if his invention had not been suppressed and his records destroyed by one of the several presidents who has intimate ties with big energy.

Good hearted, well-intentioned people have been walking, collecting yogurt tops and holding bake sales for cancer research for fifty years - but we have no cure. Oh, the "researchers" have developed lots of burning, poisoning, cutting and nuking techniques to "treat" cancer, but there is no real research into prevention or safe and effective cures. In fact, every true cancer prevention or cure has been suppressed or its developer harassed or discredited or run out of the country by the FDA, which is nothing more than an enforcer for the pharmaceutical industry.

Full disclosure will never happen as long as the current military industrial complex with its media mouthpieces is in place. And even if we could get past the stone wall of silence, the economic and political interests of those powerful people guarantee that any benefits from disclosure would be suppressed.

That's why, whenever a major media organization does a piece on UFOs, it has to put a "debunker" on the show. It matters not if they're unconvincing and ill-informed; they have to be brought on to plant seeds of doubt in the viewers' minds. This time, Larry King brought in James McGaha, an "amateur astronomer and retired United States Air Force pilot" as the skeptic du jour.

This was the lamest "debunker" I've ever seen. When asked why he didn't believe that Colonel Charles Halt and Sergeant Jim Penniston had actually witnessed the landing of an alien craft in England in 1980, he said that they didn't know how to use the instruments. They didn't understand what they were doing.

Since these were trained military personnel, and Sergeant Pennison was actually with the object on the ground for 45 minutes, touching it, then watching it speed away into the night, we must wonder to what instruments McGaha was referring. Eyes? Hands?

Why did King or his producers put on such a lame debunker? Maybe they were trying to sidestep the network brass who insist on such drivel. If so, then congratulations go to Larry King and his producers, because McGaha probably did more to help the cause of disclosure than anyone else on the program.

Yet still we wait.

Article 65 (October 17th, 2007)
A Genetic Disaster - By Kate Mucci

On a recent episode of Out There TV, we interviewed Dr. Gary Null, who is known to many as one of the foremost advocates of alternative medicine and natural healing. He recently released a documentary called "Gulf War Syndrome", a topic that has been largely ignored by most of the media. While there was a big stink raised about the conditions at Walter Reed, no one addressed the larger problem … that tens of thousands of veterans have been injured, not just by bullets and bombs, but by the very air they breathe in the war zones.

As is poignantly and graphically shown in Null's documentary, "Gulf War Syndrome", in the war of (and I mean "of", not "on") terror the U.S. administration is using nuclear weapons. Yes, it's true. We, who invaded a sovereign nation allegedly because of their vast stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, are blithely using exactly such weapons. Of course this is illegal according to every convention to which we are a party, but talking about legality misses the point. The crisis about to be precipitated by the indiscriminate use of nuclear armaments against the basically defenseless inhabitants of at least two countries will affect all of humanity. Its scope can barely be imagined.

Depleted Uranium, which is in no way, shape or form depleted of its ability to kill and maim, was in the so-called "smart" bombs used during the invasion and is still used daily in the artillery and shells used during the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. The half-life of Uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years, the age of the earth. And, as Uranium-238 decays into daughter radioactive products, in four steps before turning into lead, it continues to release more radiation at each step. There is no way to turn it off, and there is no way to clean it up. It meets the US Government's own definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Depleted Uranium is the by-product of nuclear weapon and energy creation, and there is so much of it, it is actually cheaper than ice cream, according to an expert on Dr. Null's DVD. Because there is such a glut of this material, the weapons manufacturers get it practically free. Wow - what a deal. Dispose of toxic waste by aiming it at civilians in what someone has classified as a terrorist state and you've killed two birds with one stone. No, actually, it's much more than two birds. It's more like all the birds. It's the weapon that keeps on killing. Forever.

Do not for one minute think that this radioactive angel of death will stay within the boundaries of Iraq or Afghanistan, and that it is only the children of those terrible "Muslim fanatics" that will bear the burden of our nuclear holocaust. Cancer rates among children have increased by 400 per cent in Iraq, but they are not the only ones with terrible tumors and wasted limbs.

Cancers of every kind are also much more common in soldiers returning from the Iraq war, but the effects are far more insidious than cancer. Their genetic structure is altered, and when they father children, those children are at risk of being born with terrible mutations. Many have been born without arms or legs, with one eye, or none.

Where the wind blows, so too blows the DU dust, and it knows no borders. The air, the water and the soil in Iraq are so irradiated that the whole country should be vacated, but the problem extends far beyond the Middle East. In Australia and England, readings have shown increased levels of background radiation. We can only imagine what's going on in neighboring nations downwind.

By deploying this weapon, we have forever altered the genetic structure of not only the human race, but of all life on earth. This travesty has been completely ignored by mainstream media in favor of nonsense about spoiled pop stars and self-aggrandizing politicians. The military has refused to acknowledge its part in what could well be the genetic destruction of the human race and has largely left its own American military victims to suffer and die without compassion or treatment. And of course the current presidential candidates have completely denied any knowledge of this issue.

But we cannot let this rest. We have to do something. We must join with Dr. Null, Dr. Doug Rokke, Leuren Moret and many others who are doing everything they can to put an end to this. I am imploring everyone reading this column -educate yourself. Watch Dr. Null's documentary, "Gulf War Syndrome". (You can find the link on the Out There TV web site). Read Dr. Rokke's and Leuren Moret's papers on the subject, then, get involved. Call, write, e-mail, camp on the doorstep of Congress if you have to, but make our representatives put a stop to the war and the use of these illegal weapons. Force them to look after the American, Iraqi, Afghani and all other victims of Depleted Uranium poisoning.

We cannot turn away from this truth. We cannot sit comfortably in our living rooms, blissfully ignorant of the fact that we, each and every one of us, are responsible for the potential demise of the human race. E.T. is not going to beam us up out of this, and we cannot entrust the continued existence of the species to men who are so crazed by power and greed that they cannot see they are forever destroying the very planet they covet.

The War for Souls - By Kate Mucci

We recently interviewed Whitley Strieber regarding his newest book, "2012: The War for Souls". I told Whitley that it was one of the scariest books I'd ever read and couldn't have been more surprised when he told me he had actually been laughing while he was writing much of it!

Laughing? Certainly I understand that many aspects of the book were utterly fantastic, and I did chuckle at the part where Anne Coulter is revealed as a Reptilian, but there were so many things that I recognized as truths, my brain must have absorbed only the scary extrapolations and forgot that this was fiction. Whether it's because of my utter lack of imagination or the fact that I believe most people in government, big media and big business are evil soul sucking reptiles, I just felt that too much of what Whitley was writing could actually happen to be amused by the story.

"2012" is a great read, and we enjoyed chatting about it, but the best thing about the interview was that we got to talk about one of my all time favorite Whitley Strieber books, "The Key".

Back in 1998, an elderly man barged into Whitley's Toronto hotel room. Like anyone in the public eye, Whitley was used to overzealous fans and scary detractors, so this gave him quite a start. But it turned out that this man, who called himself a Canadian who didn't pay taxes, offered up to Whitley and thereby to the rest of humanity what I consider to be some of the most valuable gems of information ever dispensed to mere mortals.

I don't know if this Visitor, or the Master of the Key, as Whitley calls him, was an alien or an angel, a man or a god. Maybe he was all of the above. Of this I am certain. The information he gave to Whitley has given me much food for thought over the last several years, and it was exciting to ask Whitley about it firsthand.

Many people already know that the genesis of Whitley's book "Coming Global Superstorm" was the information that the Visitor gave him about the North American Current. As the air at the surface gets warmer, the north polar ice melts, reducing the salinity of the Laurentian sea, which basically dilutes the current that keeps the North American continent and Europe warm. The whole process stops, resulting in an ice age. This has happened every few thousand years for millions of years.

So, while Al Gore crisscrosses the country in his incredible fuel guzzling private jet telling the rest of us to stop burning fossil fuels, the info that the Visitor shared makes it quite clear that with or without human carbon footprints, Earth's climate is due for a big change.

For viewers of our television program, this comes as no surprise. Guests such as Brent Miller, lead scientist on The Horizon Project and Patrick Geryl, an expert on the Mayan calendar, have corroborated the fact that intense climate change is cyclical: that ice ages follow periods of global warming. It's certain that many ancient civilizations have been destroyed when this happened but only a few were able to record the events and warn of us impending shifts.

I used to wonder whether aliens or someone from the future would appear and save us from this certain destruction. Over the years, though, information from several abductees we've interviewed and from Whitley's visitor indicates that's not likely. Besides the fact that it's just not possible to tow the earth away from its inevitable traversal over the center of our galaxy on December 21, 2012, and there's no way to beam us all up out of harm's way, depriving us of this opportunity for spiritual evolution is not permitted under some kind of universal law.

We must then experience what surely will be a series of catastrophic events. The Master of the Key made it quite clear that this was necessary on several levels, and frankly, I couldn't agree more. The greed, the cruelty, and the secrecy that rule this planet - they have to end. How can we as a species evolve physically or spiritually if our very lifestyle, the way we survive, is dependent on these negative attributes?

The Master explained that our souls are bound to this particular planet. I have heard this now from several sources, including the very first person we ever interviewed on Out There TV. Ray Holm, who has since passed away, wrote an amazing book called "To Earth with Love". Many times, he met with beings he believed to be ETs, and they flatly told him that this was a prison planet. The nature of the souls residing here and the conditions under which the humans were genetically manipulated demanded that we stay right here.

So, our souls are bound here, and the growth of all of them is dependent upon experiences only to be had in the physical state. The problem is, when catastrophe happens, there will be no bodies for us to inhabit. We will have to wait around in an energetic state until one is spun from the earth. Sounds like fund, after all, obviously there can be no pain or hunger without this "elemental" body. The problem is, there can also be no ecstasy, and the Master said that once you've experienced it and can no longer have it, the hunger for ecstasy is appalling. Without the ability to experience the physical, we can remember and see it, but we cannot experience Joy.

Joy. I have heard that word countless times in relation to spiritual growth. My own deceased grandmother has repeatedly sent messages from beyond on the importance of Joy. She often and emphatically reminds us that, from her point of view on the other side, nothing else matters but giving and experiencing joy. It is our duty and delight, our joy, to find what every other person needs and to give it to him.

All of this brings me back to "2012: The War for Souls". If there are beings in other dimensions that can see the ecstasy our souls experience, might it not make sense to try to steal them and put them in their own soulless elemental bodies? If their civilization did at one time have souls and there is some memory of that, or if they're just jealous of what we humans enjoy, might they not go to extreme measures to experience that ecstasy? What if they do have some way of extracting our souls and taking them as their own?

Maybe I was right after all, to be a little scared.

A Strange Way to get their Message Across - By Kate Mucci

I have often pondered the reasons that aliens might be visiting earth at this point in time. Is it to save our species from some galactic or ecological disaster? Are we of interest as sociological or scientific curiosities, or are we merely pawns in some universal chess game? My recent discovery of a simple little book has me on another quest. If there is someone out there with a message, why bring it cloaked in abductions?

Literally days after interviewing Jim Sparks (a conscious abductee who has been featured in this magazine), I ran across a book on abduction that was more than ten years old, but of which I had never before heard. Published in 1995, “Beyond My Wildest Dreams” is one of the most frightening books I’ve read on the subject.

Kim Carlsberg’s life as a commercial photographer was thrown into chaos in 1988 as she was repeatedly abducted in the middle of the night, enduring terrible procedures that left her scarred, traumatized and at times incapacitated. Tubes down the nose, artificial insemination, strange physical scars, vats full of fetuses – these almost cliché experiences were all part of her ongoing nightmare.

For researchers, the fact that Kim remembers most of her experiences is probably a good thing. After all, it isn’t often that we have the opportunity to tap into the memories of people who’ve had ongoing contact with creatures from another world. Kim probably feels otherwise. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to try to maintain a “normal” life while remembering the pain and terror of ongoing abductions. That she remained sane is a testament to her inner strength, and I admire her greatly.

While the tests and procedures conducted by the aliens were scary enough, even more disturbing to me was the presence of earthly military personnel during some of Kim’s experiences, which apparently took place in military installations, possibly underground bases. Jim Sparks also related an experience with military personnel in his book, “The Keepers”, and Leah Haley in “Unlocking Alien Closets” makes numerous references to human military involvement.

With this military involvement then comes the question… Are these abductions the extraterrestrial equivalent of MK Ultra Mind Control experiments or are they conducted by humans on humans as extensions of the experiments initially conducted by the cruel Nazi regime and perfected on Montauk? Inducing trauma based mind control seems to be a favorite pastime of many governments, and the ability to create false memories for victims is certainly not beyond their scope. Further, while it’s frightening to think that it is strictly the military doing this to our own people, the other possibility… that aliens are the instigators and military personnel are simply tagging along is even more terrifying.

Why would aliens need or want to do this, and why would black op government agencies cooperate, or instigate such deeds?

There has been much discussion about the possibility of disclosure from our government, and there was a time before September 11, 2001, when I believed the government might at least admit to the reality of UFOs. But the atmosphere of secrecy and paranoia surrounding the current administration seems to make it impossible to acquire answers to anything, much less why there would be military cooperation with aliens. Heck, Google had to block the view over Cheney’s official residence! What chance do we have of peeking into the X-files?

We are therefore left with whatever tidbits of information we can glean from abductees and the few brave insiders who’ve shared their knowledge to formulate our hypothesis.

Evidence suggests that some governments, including and especially that of the U.S., have received alien technology from time to time, perhaps even on an ongoing basis. Whether through some kind of exchange agreement or from crashes, that technology has been utilized not for the betterment of mankind but for the benefit of the military industrial complex. Better weapons and methods to control and track humans have certainly made arms and microchip manufacturers wealthy, but any technology for free energy or cures for terrible diseases is conspicuous in its absence.

Contactees tell us the aliens frequently impress upon them how much trouble our planet is in. If they’re so concerned, why don’t they help? We’re told that’s because they’re not allowed to “interfere”, but frankly, I find that one hard to believe. They’re interfering simply by showing up and grabbing people off the street and animals out of the fields. If there’s some kind of galactic federation that’s supposed to police this kind of behavior, they need better enforcement.

To summarize what we have so far: Aliens are real, they’re visiting here regularly, they’ve given technology to the powerful elite, and they’re not much help to regular folk unless being wrenched out of bed and tested like rats in a maze is good for building character.

Now, let’s assume, based on the messages of planetary peril, that some species are trying to recruit humans to do something about the condition of Earth. Then why use fear? If they’re more highly evolved than we, shouldn’t they recognize that humans cooperate better when they understand why they’re being asked to do something? It appears that some of the visitors – like Billy Meier’s Plejarans and the Arcturians - do have more respect for the human psyche, but their involvement with humans is limited compared to the little Grays or the Reptilians.

So now we’re back to why contact comes in the form of abductions as opposed to intelligent discourse. It seems these abductions are conducted only by those species that are in some way involved with human military entities, and the one reliable consequence of terrifying abduction stories is to induce fear into the population. Is someone – alien or human – deliberately trying to create an atmosphere of fear, or is my search for meaning just a futile attempt to make sense of completely random events?

Only time will tell.

Why Subscribe? - By Kate Mucci

Six years ago, Out There was started as a broadcast television show aired in only a couple of markets in the Southwest. A year ago we went national on the America One network, and recently also joined the ITVI network.

Broadcast television has always been the focus of the program, but thanks to a volunteer, Out There was made available online. This was not the main focus of the program, however, and we had to rely on Google, which as we all know is a popular but gargantuan entity, and it was making us nervous.

So, in an effort to make certain that Out There stayed not only on the internet but also on the air, we made the decision to make the online video service by subscription only so that we could put it onto our own secure server and help with the immense costs of production for a network quality broadcast. This opens up a range of opportunities for bringing in live guests and getting special reports, and it insures that the Out There shows are not subject to the whims and vagaries of the management of a megalithic corporation.

We're excited, and hope that this will enable us to continue improving the show and distributing it to an even greater broadcast market. While many broadcast television programs offer only short segments online, our subscribers can watch not only the complete current episodes, they also have exclusive access to over 60 hours of archived episodes and shocking free documentaries including "The Killshot", "Loose Change", "Aerosol Attack" and many more that are otherwise unavailable to television viewers.

Of course, all subscribers and visitors to www.OutThereTV.com always get the latest breaking news and commentaries and can read up on past and upcoming guests and events, check out the latest featured products in the Out There TV shop and much more!

With the Out There TV On-Demand video service, we can continue covering the news on everything from earth changes to what Big Brother is up to, from the latest UFO sightings and space news to 9/11 conspiracies and the New World Order.

A Moment of Your Time - By Kate Mucci

The subject line said “Thank You for your time” and it wasn’t from an address I recognized, so my hand automatically went to the “delete” button. I figured it was probably a lawyer for some deposed princess in Nigeria, and was about to go on to the next of two hundred e-mails waiting for my attention. But for some reason, I hit the “enter” key instead.

The font was in a hard to read aqua color, but at least it was large enough that I didn’t have to reach for my increasingly necessary reading glasses. I don’t remember what the first line was now, something about an old man and a boy. Again, the hand reached for the mouse and headed for the delete icon, but, oh, what the heck.

You know that guilty pleasure we all experience in the checkout line at the supermarket. You wouldn’t be caught dead buying one of those rag magazines, but since you’re there in line anyway, and the lady ahead of you has six boxes of Twinkies and a dozen cases of diet soda in the basket and is corralling six kids as she counts coupons, why not see what Hilary’s alien baby looked like?

I was here, the e-mail was open, and my brain was frankly too tired to do anything really constructive anyway, so why not?

It was quite lovely, actually. Well written, and there may even have been a kernel of truth in it somewhere. A boy had befriended an old man many years before, often spending time with the old man rather than playing with his young friends. When the old man died, the mysterious golden box (they’re always golden, aren’t they?) that had sat on the old man’s mantel showed up in the now grown man’s mailbox. When the boy had asked what was in the box, the old man had said, “the thing I value most”. The boy had often wondered what that was, but over the years had of course forgotten everything about it. Now he had the golden box, and could see what was inside. As he opened it, he saw inside a beautiful pocket watch with a note that read, “What I value most is your time”.

Time. “I don’t have time for this,” I thought. “I have to get ready for the show tomorrow. Who is sending me this syrupy nonsense?” I was ready to hit the reply button and tell whomever it was who sent this to me please, no more forwards.

And then I stopped dead. It felt like someone was standing on my shoulder chastising me. “What is so important that you can’t stop and think about this for a minute?”

Indeed. Would five minutes either way make any difference to my future? Would an hour, or two? I thought back to the many hours I had spent as a child sitting at my Oma’s kitchen table, chatting with my aunts and being teased by my uncles and enjoying their time and the unconditional love from the most wonderful family in the world. I was a smart fat kid, not exactly the kind that other kids wanted to hang around, and that tiny farmhouse with the loving family was my safe haven from the taunts and cruelty of childhood and adolescence.

I grew out of the baby fat and became a confident young woman, due in large part to the time spent with me by all of my extended family. In the early days of my career, I still lived fairly close to them, and even though I was busy dating and earning degrees in my off-work time, I still went to see my grandparents every chance I got. As I look back at it now, I was probably a bit selfish in that regard. I would just show up, sometimes with good news, just as often with tears from a broken relationship or a professional disappointment, but they were always there. They always had time for me.

They were working people. They didn’t have much in the way of material goods, but like so many other good people, their lives revolved around their children and grandchildren. There are no bequests or trust funds for any of us, but we are among the richest of the rich, for we received the gift of time over and over again.

Even if the grandparents `had something else they should rather be doing, they would always have time to spend with us. They would invite us along to feed the rabbits or shepherd the ducks back into their pen. If they had to pick apples or strawberries, they invited us along for that, too, and it didn’t really matter that we slowed them down. Unlike my frantic, driven parents, these wonderful people always took time when it was needed.

When I was younger, I thought it was just because my parents were so busy trying to earn a living. But as I sat in front of that e-mail, I realized that no, that wasn’t the case. They just value time for a different reason. They still do, even though they’re both now retired. To them, time was and still is something to be managed and exploited. For my grandparents, it was there to be enjoyed and shared. Maybe it’s because they managed to survive the horrors of the second world war, and knew firsthand that time was precious indeed. Every moment was a gift, to be shared and treasured because any one of them could be your last.

As I re-read the story of the golden box, I realized something else. I was much more like my parents than my grandparents. To me, time had become a commodity to be apportioned to my various tasks. In order for me to “make it”, every moment had to be utilized because, once gone, it could never be regained. I have often said that if I’m not multi-tasking, I’m not happy.

But the vision of the golden box and the story of the boy and the old man made me realize that I wasn’t really enjoying many of my moments. I’m impatient with the speed of my computer and heartily resent five minutes spent in a grocery line. I visit with elderly neighbors and friends, but then rush off back to work, feeling guilty that I have wasted fifteen minutes when I should have been writing or networking or something.

What kind of stupid is that? What is my life review going to be like when I get to the end of this rat race and realize that none of this made any difference? I’m not going to be any richer or smarter or more famous because I passed on all the fun times. I’ll get to the other side and say, “Damn! I just wasted that whole life!”, and I’m not so sure I want to have to come back and do this all over again.

Recently a friend passed on from cancer. She was in terrible pain for many weeks, and was constantly drifting between worlds. From that unique vantage point, she was able to bring back some valuable insights, and one of the last things she said to me was, “If you don’t get joy out of something, stop doing it.”

As I pondered the e-mail, her words came back to me in a rush, making me realize that I really needed a reality check. Is the time I’m spending giving myself or anyone else any joy?

How many things do we all do every day that bring us no joy? Oh, sure, we have to work and commute and clean house, but there can be joy in doing all of those things. We may have jobs that are what we consider to be menial or unrewarding, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find joy in them. And apart from those eight or ten hours each day, we have a lot of time that can be spent in positive, uplifting ways, and I for one have decided that I’m going to take more of the moments I have left to giving and getting joy. I don’t know how successful I’ll be at it. I don’t know whether I can change nearly 50 years of habits, but I’ll give it a go.

So here’s to moments spent watching the cat watch birds through the window, and to half an hour spent playing my harp even when I don’t have to rehearse for a performance. Here’s to visiting with my elderly neighbors and calling distant friends more often. Here’s to afternoon naps and old movies on Sunday afternoon.

And here’s to you for taking a moment to read this column. I hope it reminded you to enJoy your time.

Article 60 (June 10, 2007)
A Matter of Will - By Kate Mucci

Into the psyche of much of the human race has come the understanding that our beautiful blue planet has been infiltrated by nefarious extraterrestrials known as the Reptilians. Indeed, the popular culture has even taken up the theme with the notion that the Vice President is an evil shape-shifting Reptilian, and that the comely Princess Diana was murdered after she had done her job of providing the House of Windsor with enough human DNA to enable its progeny to maintain their human form.

In movies and science fiction television programs, we often see Reptilian beings living and working alongside humans, and on our own TV show we have interviewed several people who have discussed these Reptilians in terms of their influence in the evolution of humans and their warlike ways. However, until recently, no one with whom we'd spoken had actually had one-on-one contact with Reptilians or their earthly Hybrids. But this past April we had the opportunity to interview Stewart Swerdlow, a man who has encountered these and many other aliens close up and frankly, I don't envy him one bit.

Stewart is one of the few survivors of the U.S. Government sponsored Montauk mind control experiments, and from the age of three or four was made part of strange rituals involving Reptilians and hybrids who used and continue to use humans as part of their empowering rituals. The details are graphically related in his book, Blue Blood, True Blood, so I won't go into them here. It is sufficient to know that Stewart survived his years in the Montauk program, an achievement that itself is nothing short of miraculous. According to him, approximately two hundred to three hundred thousand other subjects did not make it out alive.

While the period of the Montauk experiments is dark and shrouded in much pain and suffering, Swerdlow's experiences there provided him with many opportunities to learn about the far-reaching influences Reptilians have had on the human race since the beginning. And according to Stewart, it is only by understanding this history that we can fully comprehend how our planet was shaped by the Reptilians, how they created the Illuminati, how they came to power, and how they continue to influence every aspect of our lives.

If Swerdlow is correct, and it is true that the Illuminati are in fact Reptilian in origin, it seems it is basically hopeless to resist them. They are programmed to believe that they are the superior race, and perhaps they are. They are superior intellectually and physically, without the human problems of guilt and conscience, and they have no qualms about using any and all advantages they have.

In his book, Stewart claims that the only agenda for Reptilians was, and is, to seek out humans for destruction or assimilation, and to use their blood and hormones as sustenance. If one carefully examines the power structure on this planet, it's pretty easy to see that is exactly what they do. Create wars, instill fear, create more wars, instill more fear. Blood and fear. Mmmm, mmm good.

Another interesting tidbit from Stewart was that it was the Reptilians who drove a hollowed out object into Earth's orbit when they originally came to colonize this planet. We now call that object the Moon, and Stewart's revelation clarified for me why there are so many myths relating to the appearance of this object after the Earth was already inhabited by primitive peoples. It wasn't always there!

The Reptilians put it there as a base from which to conduct their takeover of the planet, and this further confirms information garnered from other sources that say there are bases on the moon. Even remote viewing reveals large skyscrapers, and I have personally spoken to two contactees who say they were taken to the dark side of the moon and saw beings and buildings there.

What does all this mean to us? It means that everything we have ever been told about the history of the Earth is bunk. It means that those who are in charge (the Reptilian-hybrid Illuminati) have made sure we do not know their, or our, true origins, that we cannot understand their true agenda, and therefore we have no hope of breaking free of their influence.

Or do we? Through the miraculous survival of Stewart Swerdlow and others who have managed to escape their clutches, the evil agenda of the true rulers of the planet is being slowly exposed. In this publication, on Out There TV, and through numerous alternative radio and internet sources, more and more people are learning that all is not as we have been programmed to believe. With that knowledge comes the power to change our circumstances.

More and more people are beginning to see that religions are little more than devices created to control the masses with fear while our true spirituality, our real connection to the Universal Mind or God has been obscured. We have been taught through Illuminati controlled educational and religious institutions that we are separate from God, and wholly dependent on Priests or intermediaries to get into His good graces and get what we deserve. We are reminded incessantly that if we do not follow the myriad of rules, regulations and restrictions placed upon us by these human intermediaries, we cannot hope for blessings from the bearded Judge in Heaven and in fact will suffer terrible retribution including burning in Hell. Or, we'll be hauled away for not paying our taxes.

What I took away from our interview with Stewart, and from reading Blue Blood, True Blood, is that we don't have to be in bondage. Reptilians may at this time be controlling the planet through their human hybrid henchmen, but there are still more of us than there are of them. Our minds are still incredibly powerful, and with knowledge and the desire to change, we can take control of our own destiny. It's just a matter of will.

Microchips: Alien Technology Subverted by Big Brother? - By Kate Mucci

Some time ago we interviewed a young man who claims to have had lifelong contact with extraterrestrials. Craig has had several anomalous experiences, but one of the most amazing occurred while he was at work in a clothing store. He was standing close to the price scanner when it sounded off, as though it had read a barcode. The cash register's computer screen read "ERROR: UPC/SKU barcode cannot be found".

Ginger Thompson has x-rays of what appears to be a metallic object in her brain, behind her left ear. The doctors at the Mayo clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, say they don't know what it is or how it could possibly have gotten there, but say they're quite sure it won't hurt her. They also refuse to take more tests to determine what it is. Strange, but not altogether surprising.

From true accounts such as those recounted Whitley Streiber's "Communion" to the fictional adventures of Dana Scully in "The X-Files", alien implants have become important indicators of real abductions.

Of course there are skeptics who claim there is no such thing as implants, and that any anomalous pieces of metal in humans have been somehow ingested or naturally imbedded under the skin in some kind of freak accident. How something ingested could end up in the brain or how something that accidentally punctures the skin could imbed into a shoulder muscle without any pain or scarring is beyond me, but maybe these skeptics know something about physiology to which the rest of us are not privy.

For my part, I think there are just too many unexplained instances to say that the phenomenon does not exist. But if implants are real, it leaves us with the bigger question of why they are being used. Do aliens use them to track their subjects, to monitor their health, or perhaps to read their thoughts? Are some of them implanted by covert government agents to track or modify the behavior of humans?

It seems unlikely that we will ever have answers to these questions, but one thing does seem certain. The technology that makes the "alien" implants possible is now here in our everyday world, and whether or not that is positive depends entirely upon the person with whom you are speaking.

We've been microchipping pets for some time now, and the technology has been responsible for many animals being returned to worried owners. Good stuff. But like every other technological advancement, what seemed like a good idea at the time creates problems later on. Not all microchips implanted in animals after 2003 can be read by all scanners. So, even though you think you're protected your best friend by chipping him, there's no guarantee you'll get him back if he ends up at a facility that can't read his particular chip.

Now there is a huge push to microchip children. The sales pitch is that this will protect them from predators. One has to wonder how that would work, since it's unlikely that predators would take the kids somewhere they might be scanned for chips. The next problem is, if the children are simply lost, could they end up in a facility with incompatible scanners? If a child really was abducted, and the chip could be read by satellite, maybe it would be worthwhile. But then large red flags should be waved in the wind, because that means the technology can be used from a distance, and that means huge potential for nefarious abuses.

In a recent paper released in Finland, former chief medical officer for that country, Dr. Rauni-Leena Luukanen-Kilde, warned that the technology already exists to create a totalitarian New World Order using microchip technology. "Covert neurological communication systems are in place to counteract independent thinking and to control social and political activity on behalf of self-serving private and military interests".

One has to wonder if governments around the world have reverse-engineered some of the alien implants to figure out a way to use them for this purpose. After all, there are many instances of abductees returning to meeting areas seemingly without reason, or doing things totally out of character. Could it be because of messages being transmitted through the implants?

More and better reasons for getting chipped are being conjured up every day. When natural disasters occur, there is a big fuss made about how difficult it is to identify the dead. How much easier it would be if all those bodies were just microchipped!

And wouldn't it be nice if you could just have all your financial and medical information implanted so that you don't have to carry ID cards around? Well, maybe, but we all know how susceptible computers are to theft of information, and all that personal data would have to be stored somewhere. If hackers can get into the NASA computer files, and identity thieves can get into DMV files, we know it's only be a matter of time before enterprising criminals get into a system "safeguarding" the information in microchips.

The indoctrination process has been going on for some time. A club owner in Spain has offered customers implants that will have monetary credits attached to them, thereby preventing the need for revelers to carry money or I.D. A school in Madras, Oregon, has made it possible for kids to be implanted so that they can just swipe their hands under scanners to pay for their meals. Well, I guess it solves the problem of bullies stealing your lunch money.

See how insidious this is? By slowly acclimating people to the idea that these chips are good, and can make life easier, those who would turn the entire human population into robots are having their way. Again.

Dr. Luukanen-Kilde warns that "When our brain functions are already connected to supercomputers by means of radio implants and microchips, it will be too late for protest. This threat can be defeated only by educating the public."

I think I'll take my chances with the aliens.

Article 58 (April 15, 2007)
Nuclear Madness - By Kate Mucci

We recently interviewed Eric Julien, regarding his book “The Science of Extraterrestrials”. While it seems to have the answers to many questions about the nature of interstellar travel and the scientific capabilities of extraterrestrials, the part that piqued my interest had to do with the effects that nuclear weapons have on the rest of space.

We know that nuclear bombs create havoc here on Earth. When they’re detonated underground, they can and have created earthquakes. Their effects on the surface of the planet are well documented, and the fallout lasts for centuries. What most of us never consider is what happens to the energy wave when these nuclear blasts rise up and away from the surface and out of our atmosphere. They are no longer affected by Earth’s gravity, and travel very far into the cosmos.

According to Julien, these blasts produce catastrophic temporal collapses for extraterrestrials, basically earthquakes in the ETs space/time. Consequently, the ETs see nuclear bombs from Earth as a direct threat to their own safety, and that is why they began coming here in greater numbers after our atomic experiments began. They had to see what we were doing, and apparently tried to enter into a treaty with our own President Eisenhower to stop further nuclear development. Obviously the negotiations failed and we didn’t enter into a treaty, or if we did, it has been broken just like all of our terrestrial non-proliferation treaties.

So our space neighbors had to keep as close an eye as they could on us, and their surveillance of our nuclear repositories and silos is well documented. Robert Hastings has done a report (posted online at http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc2009.htm) that catalogued several incidents showing an ongoing pattern of UFO activity at U.S. nuclear weapons sites extending back to December 1948.

Being the egocentric souls that we are, most people who have heard of UFOs hovering around missile silos or nuclear plants think that the aliens were there to warn us of the danger to ourselves. But that doesn’t make much sense. If our nuclear power plays hurt only ourselves and Earth, there’s really no reason for the ETs to worry about our sorry butts. There are plenty more planets where this one came from.

But, if the visitors are directly threatened by our nuclear weapons race, it makes perfect sense they would want to see what’s going on. Further, they would be crazy not to attempt to shut down the weapons. Of course, they’re probably acutely aware of the hair trigger mentality of the keepers of the keys, and know that it wouldn’t take much to instigate a full nuclear war. So they have to be careful how they approach the whole problem as well.

Now this isn’t the first time I’ve heard that nuclear reactions were a danger to entities other than our human selves. I think it was in Ray Holm’s book, “To Earth With Love” where I read that the only way a soul can be destroyed is with a nuclear holocaust. At the time I thought that didn’t make sense, because the soul is just energy, and energy supposedly cannot be destroyed. But if Eric is right, and nuclear blasts actually disrupt the space/time continuum, then perhaps souls could be destroyed that way.

If that doesn’t provide ample enough reason to stop this nuclear pissing contest, I don’t know what would!

But what does all this have to do with us here on Earth right now? Plenty, according to Julien, because our government’s stubborn refusal to quit experimenting with dangerous nuclear weapons is the reason some ETs began snatching humans, in particular, Americans. When you think about it, it does seem that Americans more than any other nationality report abduction experiences.

But what good does that do the ETs? Abducting a housewife from Cleveland and a fiction writer from New York is not going to convince the megalomaniacs in Washington and Moscow stop their war games. They don’t care about Joe Citizen. In fact, despite abductions and cattle mutilations and other apparent expressions of disfavor from alien visitors, our illustrious leaders have for several decades been preparing nuclear weapons for space, a fact sure to be very worrisome to our cosmic neighbors.

So the abductions are not an obvious deterrent to nuclear armament. What then, is their purpose?

Eric postulates that the ETs are grabbing Americans and manipulating their DNA to make our race less belligerent. If that is indeed the case, then methinks ET needs a quick refresher in genetics, because there doesn’t seem to be much shrinking of the belligerent factor in the hotheads on this planet.

In fact, it seems to get worse every day. I just read about the plans the U.S. has in the event the government is crumbling during a time of war (real or imagined). These avatars of irrationality have decided that if they can’t have it, nobody can, so, rather than let someone take over the country, they will destroy it. It’s called the “scorched earth” policy.

These soulless engineers have designed a cobalt “jacket” which can be slid over conventional ordnance, its only purpose to maximize the negative effects of a deployed weapon by causing radioactive cobalt to scatter everywhere, contaminating everything in the blast zone and for some distance beyond with fallout. It would make the area uninhabitable for generations. You have to wonder what kind of monsters think up this stuff.

Eric Julien states in his book that the collective contact with the extraterrestrials will come soon, and could be for nuclear weapons reasons. Let’s hope they get here before it’s too late.

Article 57 (March 13, 2007)
Escaping Global Warming - By Kate Mucci

The first Out There episode of 2007 featured Brent Miller. Brent is a dedicated scientist who gathered together a team of other scientists including geologists, physicists and archaeologists to compile information into what he calls “The Horizon Project.” In this series of documentaries, Brent and his team share admittedly frightening information on the earth changes that are happening now, what we can expect in the future, and just as importantly, how they have happened many times in the past.

According to Brent and his team, global warming may be real, but it is probably the least of our worries. And, contrary to what former Vice President Gore and so many others would have us believe, humans are not the cause of it! We pesky people may exacerbate or speed up some effects, but bottom line, whether we are here or not, there will regularly be climactic and geologic upheavals on the planet.

We are part of a solar system that travels in and out of the galactic plane of The Milky Way galaxy. The Mayans called this plane the Dark Rift. When we get close to the center of that plane, the magnetic pull on all of the objects in our solar system creates havoc. That explains why currently there is global warming not just on Earth but also on Mars, and the atmosphere of Saturn has changed dramatically at the same time our earth has had increasing numbers of earthquakes and volcanoes. Our sun has been shooting giant CMEs in our direction much more frequently than ever before in recorded history, and a quick glance at the evening news leaves no doubt that the weather worldwide is changing at breakneck speed.

Even if we were to quit driving SUVs, stop burning coal, and save the remaining rain forests immediately, there would still be massive earth changes that will disrupt civilization as we know it. The Mayans and many other ancient societies knew about this, and warned us of what they knew to be certain. The Mayans didn’t pull the year 2012 out of a hat; they understood our place in the galaxy and knew that this natural course of events would create havoc at this time.

Additionally, ice core samples and archeological evidence shows that civilizations come and go, often quite quickly. It’s unfortunate that many mainstream scientists refuse to disseminate this evidence because it doesn’t fit the politically correct view of the world and we’ll be talking to Michael Cremo about that in a few weeks, but the bottom line is, humans have come and gone a few times from the surface of the earth, leaving behind evidence of their advanced civilizations in the form of finely tooled gold chains, sophisticated batteries and even navigational computers.

The question is, where did these people go? Were some lifted off the planet and brought back here when things settled down? It’s nice to think that ET would have helped them out, but maybe it was not beaming up but digging in that ensured the survival of at least some of the races alive each time a cataclysm occurred.

Ruins of great cities and civilizations have been found underwater and under layers of earth around the world, and the legends and myths of many modern peoples include references to lost races, especially the Atlanteans. Did the Atlanteans migrate, as some suggest, to Egypt, or did they go underground? Did the Incas head beneath the earth when their world was threatened? Does that explain their mysterious disappearance? The Hopis claim that their race came out from caverns where they had been hiding in the times of great troubles, and will go back again when they must. They, like the Mayans, have sounded serious warnings many times over about impending earth changes, and it makes sense that they would have some knowledge of this if in fact they did survive by going underground at some point in the past.

The question arises, though…. How could there be civilizations inside the earth if it is in fact solid? Where would there be room for whole civilizations to survive and in fact thrive?

Perhaps the answer comes from the theory that the earth is not comprised solely of the layers traditional science presents. Perhaps the earth is at least partially hollow, and there are huge caverns deep inside with a separate atmosphere, perhaps even an inner sun and growing conditions that allow food and animals to be raised.

In Timothy Green Beckley’s Subterranean Worlds Inside Earth are several convincing testimonials that this could indeed be the case, and modern humans have encountered beings, both malevolent and benevolent, which inhabit inner Earth. It follows also then, that some of them may indeed be descendents of the survivors of previous planetary calamities.

Some of these creatures appear to have extraterrestrial origins; others seem to be almost human and there are even some who seem almost to be evil or demonic. Richard Shaver, who is mentioned frequently in Tim Beckley’s book, claimed that the evil ones or “Deros” use their ancient technology to influence surface man to do terrible things.

In a diary purported to be his lost writings, Admiral Richard E. Byrd alleges that a race of beings called the Arianni inhabited the Inner World of the Earth. Their origins were extraterrestrial, and because they were disgusted with human misuse of atomic energy, they contacted the admiral in an effort to get him to spread their warnings to those in charge on the earth. In 1947 they were just waiting for us to blow ourselves up, leaving all things human “leveled in vast chaos.” Wonder what they think of us now!

Whatever their origins, it does seem there is someone or something surviving quite nicely under the earth. If our civilization is to survive what Brent says will certainly be a pole shift and serious blasts from the sun, maybe now would be a good time to make friends!

On Miracles - By Kate Mucci

I recently read "Human Devolution" by Michael Cremo. It's a great book, one which gives the reader much to think about, but there was one part in particular that I have pondered for the last couple of weeks. In a chapter entitled "Beyond Stones and Bones: Wallace and the Spirit World", Mr. Cremo relates the experiences of Alfred Russel Wallace, the English naturalist who, along with the more famous Darwin, co-founded the theory of evolution by natural selection.

According to mainstream history, Mr. Wallace was strictly materialist, dedicated solely to the world of hard science. But this is not the case, for Wallace realized over time that his theory of evolution was not able to explain the part of man that is his soul, or true essence. Biological evolution through natural selection only partly covered one aspect of man: the physical.

Wallace wanted to know how it was that some people were able to communicate with departed spirits and others could move objects only with their mind. Why could some people see through time and space, something we today call "remote viewing"? In his quest for answers, he became involved in paranormal research, earning him the scorn of many of his scientific peers.

Despite the controversy, Wallace eventually studied many paranormal disciplines including mesmerism, which was a precursor to hypnotism. He visited mediums, went to "table tipping" events, and even attended séances. Many times he witnessed events like psychics levitating, musical instruments playing of their own accord, and strange tapping sounds emanating from places where no one could be hidden. These events had no explanation in the material world, and despite his determination to find trickery, he concluded that something beyond the ken of modern science was at work.

The most fascinating to me of these anomalies were miracles. Wallace gathered case histories from several scientists, some of whom traveled to Lourdes and were able to document actual cures. For those who might not be familiar with the legend, it is said that the waters at Lourdes have the ability to heal, supposedly because the Virgin Mary appeared there and caused those waters to flow.

There have been hundreds of documented cures from the waters, such as the case of a man whose terrible varicose veins had responded to no previous treatment. A bottle of water from Lourdes was sent to him. Compresses drenched in the water were wrapped around his legs and literally overnight, the veins were gone, the legs smooth. The miracle was witnessed by at least three doctors.

The Abbe Paris is another miraculous site in France. It is said that the afflicted has only to actually see the holy sepulcher to be cured, and the case of a woman with cancer was one of the most striking examples. The woman's breast had actually disintegrated because of the cancer, leaving nothing but a terrible infection, which had invaded her bloodstream. Every physician said she was incurable, but after one visit to the tomb, she was cured; the breast and nipple were completely restored, and there was no trace of even scar tissue. This was actually documented even by the royal physician.

There are thousands of similar cases of miraculous cures attributed to shrines and holy places around the world, so Wallace and other scientists including Marie and Pierre Curie wanted to understand "How? Was it an individual's faith creating a situation of mind over matter? Was the Mother Mary actually taking time out from her busy schedule to attend to the physical needs of ordinary people? Were there such things as angels responsible for healing man?"

After much thought and investigation, Wallace came to the conclusion that there were other entities - angels, spirit guides, perhaps even extraterrestrial beings
