Statement Released By:

John Lear

December 29, 1987

John Lear, a captain for a major US Airline has flown over 160
different types of aircraft in over 50 different countries. He holds
17 world speed records in the Lear Jet and is the only pilot ever to
hold every airline certificate issued by the Federal Aviation
Administration. Mr. Lear has flown missions worldwide for the CIA and
other government agencies. A former Nevada State Senator candidate,
he is the son of William P. Lear, designer of the Lear Jet executive
airplane, the 8-track stereo, and founder of Lear Siegler Corporation.
Lear became interested in the subject of UFO's 13 months ago after
talking with United States Air Force Personnel who had witnessed a UFO
landing at Bentwaters AFB, near London, England, and three small
aliens walking up to the Wing Commander.

Note to the Press:

The government of the United States continues to rely on your
personal and professional gullibility to suppress the information
contained herein. Your cooperation over the past 40 years has
exceeded our wildest expectations and we salute you.

"The sun does not revolve around the Earth"
"The United States Government has been in business with little gray
extraterrestrials for about 20 years"

The first truth stated here got Giordano Bruno burned at the stake in
AD 1600 for daring to propose that it was real. The second truth has
gotten far more people killed trying to state it publicly than will
ever be known.

But the truth must be told. The fact that the Earth revolves around
the sun was successfully suppressed by the church for over 200 years.
It eventually caused a major upheaval in the church, government, and
thought. A realignment of social and traditional values. That was in
the 1800's.

Now, about 400 years after the first truth was pronounced we must
again face the shocking facts. The "horrible truth" the government
has been hiding from us over 40 years. Unfortunately, the "horrible
truth" is far more horrible than the government ever imagined.

In its effort to protect democracy, our government sold us to the
aliens. And here is how it happened. But before I begin, I'd like to
offer a word in the defense of those who bargained us away. They had
the best of intentions.

Germany may have recovered a flying saucer as early as 1939. General
James H. Doolittle went to Sweden in 1946 to inspect a flying saucer
that had crashed there in Spitzbergen.

The "horrible truth" was known by only a very few persons: They were
indeed ugly little creatures, shaped like praying mantises and who
were more advanced than us by perhaps a billion years. Of the
original group that were the first to learn the "horrible truth",
several committed suicide, the most prominent of which was General
James V. Forrestal who jumped to his death from a 16th story hospital
window. General Forrestal's medical records are sealed to this day.

President Truman quickly put a lid on the secret and turned the screws
so tight that the general public still thinks that flying saucers are
a joke. Have I ever got a surprise for them.

In 1947, President Truman established a group of 12 of the top
military scientific personnel of their time. They were known as MJ-
12. Although the group exists today, none of the original members are
still alive. The last one to die was Gordon Gray, former Secretary of
the Army, in 1984. As each member passed away, the group itself
appointed a new member to fill the position. There is some
speculation that the group known as MJ-12 expanded to at least several
more members.

There were several more saucer crashes in the late 1940's, one in
Roswell, New Mexico, one in Aztec, New Mexico, and one near Laredo,
Texas, about 30 miles inside the Mexican border.

Consider, if you will, the position of the United States Government at
that time. They proudly thought of themselves as the most powerful
nation on Earth, having recently produced the atomic bomb, an
achievement so stupendous, it would take Russia 4 years to catch up,
and only with the help of traitors to Democracy. They had built a jet
aircraft that had exceeded the speed of sound in flight. They had
built jet bombers with intercontinental range that could carry weapons
of enormous destruction. The post war era, and the future seemed
bright. Now imagine what it was like for those same leaders, all of
whom had witnessed the panic of Orson Wells' radio broadcast, "The War
of the Worlds", in 1938. Thousands of Americans panicked at a
realistically presented invasion of Earth by beings from another
planet. Imagine their horror as they actually viewed the dead bodies
of these frightening looking little creatures with enormous eyes,
reptilian skin and claw like fingers. Imagine their shock as they
attempted to determine how these strange "saucers" were powered and
could discover no part even remotely similar to components they were
familiar with: no cylinders or pistons, no vacuum tubes or turbines or
hydraulic actuators. It is only when you fully understand the
overwhelming helplessness the government was faced with in the late
40's that you can comprehend their perceived need for a total,
thorough, and sweeping cover up, to include the use of "deadly force".

The cover-up was so successful that as late as 1985 a senior scientist
with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, Dr. Al
Hibbs, would look at a video tape of an enormous flying saucer and
state the record, "I'm not going to assign anything to that (UFO)
phenomena without a lot more data". Dr. Hibbs was looking at the
naked emperor and saying, "He certainly looks naked, but that doesn't
prove he's naked."

In July of 1952, a panicked government watched helplessly as squadron
of "flying saucers" flew over Washington, D.C., and buzzed the White
House, the Capitol Building, and the Pentagon. It took all the
imagination and intimidation the government could muster to force that
incident out of the memory of the public.

Thousands of sightings occurred during the Korean war and several more
saucers were retrieved by the Air Force. Some were stored at Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base, some were stored at Air Force bases near the
location of the crash sight.

One saucer was so enormous and the logistic problems in transportation
so enormous that it was buried at the crash sight and remains there
today. The stories are legendary on transporting crashed saucers over
long distances, moving only at night, purchasing complete farms,
slashing through forests, blocking major highways, sometimes driving 2
and 3 lo-boys in tandem with and extraterrestrial load a hundred feet
in diameter.

On April 30, 1964, the first communication between these aliens and
the U.S. Government took place at Holloman Air Force Base in New
Mexico. 3 saucers landed at a prearranged area and a meeting was held
between the aliens and intelligence officers of the U.S. Government.

During the period of 1969-1971, MJ-12 representing the U.S. Government
made a deal with these creatures, called EBE's (Extraterrestrial
Biological Entities, named by Detley Bronk, original MJ-12 member and
6th President of Johns Hopkins University). The "deal" was that in
exchange for "technology" that they would provide to us, we agreed to
"ignore" the abductions that were going on and suppress information on
the cattle mutilations. The EBE's assured MJ-12 that the abductions
(usually lasting about 2 hours) were merely the ongoing monitoring of
developing civilizations.

In fact, the purposes for the abductions turned out to be:

(1) The insertion of a 3mm spherical device through the nasal cavity
of the abductee into the brain. the device is used for the biological
monitoring, tracking, and control of the abductee.

(2) Implementation of Posthypnotic Suggestion to carry out a specific
activity during a specific time period, the actuation of which will
occur within the next 2 to 5 years.

(3) Termination of some people so that they could function as living
sources for biological material and substances.

(4) Termination of individuals who represent a threat to the
continuation of their activity.

(5) Effect genetic engineering experiments.

(6) Impregnation of human females and early termination of
pregnancies to secure the crossbreed infant.

The U.S. Government was not initially aware of the far reaching
consequences of their "deal". They were led to believe that the
abductions were essentially benign and since they figured the
abductions would probably go on anyway whether they agreed or not,
they merely insisted that a current list of abductees be submitted, on
a periodic basis, to MJ-12 and the National Security Council. Does
this sound incredible? An actual list of abductees sent to the
National Security Council? Read on, because I have news for you.

The EBE's have a genetic disorder in that their digestive system is
atrophied and not functional. Some speculate that they were involved
in some type of accident or nuclear war, or possibly on the back side
of an evolutionary genetic curve. In order to sustain themselves they
use an enzyme or hormonal secretion obtained from the tissue that they
extract from humans and animals. (Note: Cows and Humans are
genetically similar. In the event of a national disaster, cow's blood
can be used by humans.)

The secretions obtained are then mixed with hydrogen peroxide and
applied on the skin by spreading or dipping parts of their bodies in
the solution. The body absorbs the solution, then excretes the waste
back through the skin. The cattle mutilations that were prevalent
throughout the period from 1973 to 1983 and publicly noted through
newspaper and magazine stories and included a documentary produced by
Linda Howe for the Denver CBS affiliate KMGH-TV, were for the
collection of these tissues by the aliens. The mutilations included
genitals taken, rectums cored out to the colon, eyes, tongue, and
throat all surgically removed with extreme precision. In some cases
the incisions were made by cutting between the cells, a process we are
not yet capable of performing in the field. In many of the
mutilations there was no blood found at all in the carcass, yet there
was no vascular collapse of the internal organs. This has been also
noted in the human mutilations, one of the first of which was Sgt.
Jonathan P. Louette at the White Sands Missile Test Range in 1956, who
was found three days after an Air Force Major had witnessed his
abduction by a "disk shaped" object at 0300 while on a search for
missile debris downrange. His genitals had been removed, rectum cored
out in a surgically precise "plug" up to the colon, eyes removed and
all blood removed with, again, no vascular collapse. From some of the
evidence it is apparent that this surgery is accomplished, in most
cases, while the victim, animal or human, is still alive.

The various parts of the body are taken to various underground
laboratories, one of which is known to be near the small New Mexico
town of Dulce. This jointly occupied (CIA-Alien) facility has been
described as enormous, with huge tiled walls that "go on forever".
Witnesses have reported huge vats filled with amber liquid with parts
of human bodies being stirred inside.

After the initial agreement, Groom Lake, one of this nations most
secret test centers, was closed for a period of about a year, sometime
between about 1972 and 1974, and a huge underground facility was
constructed for and with the help of the EBE's. The "bargained for"
technology was set in place but could only be operated by the EBE's
themselves. Needless to say, the advanced technology could not be
used against the EBE's themselves, even if needed.

During the period between 1979 and 1983 it became increasingly obvious
to MJ-12 that things were not going as planned. It became known that
many more people (in the thousands) were being abducted than were
listed on the official abduction lists. In addition it became obvious
that some, not all, but some of the nation's missing children had been
used for secretions and other parts required by the aliens.

In 1979 there was an altercation of sorts at the Dulce laboratory. A
special armed forces unit was called in to try and free a number of
our people trapped in the facility, who had become aware of what was
really going on. According to one source, 66 of the soldiers were
killed and our people were not freed.

By 1984, MJ-12 must have been in stark terror at the mistake they had
made in dealing with the EBE's. They had subtly promoted "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T." to get the public used to
"odd looking" aliens that were compassionate, benevolent and very much
our "space brothers". MJ-12 "sold" the EBE's to the public, and were
now faced with the fact that quite the opposite was true. In
addition, a plan was formulated in 1968 to make the public aware of
the existence of aliens on earth over the next 20 years to be
culminated with several documentaries to be released during 1985-1987
period of time. These documentaries would explain the history and
intentions of the EBE's. The discovery of the "Grand Deception" put
the entire plans, hopes and dreams of MJ-12 into utter confusion and
panic.

Meeting at the "Country Club", a remote lodge with private golf
course, comfortable sleeping and working quarters, and its own private
airstrip built by and exclusively for the members of MJ-12, it was a
factional fight of what to do now. Part of MJ-12 wanted to confess
the whole scheme and shambles it had become to the public, beg their
forgiveness and ask for their support. The other part (and majority)
of MJ-12 argued that there was no way they could do that, that the
situation was untenable and there was no use in exciting the public
with the "horrible truth" and that the best plan was to continue the
development of a weapon that could be used against the EBE's under the
guise of "SDI", the Strategic Defense Initiative, which had nothing
whatsoever to do with a defense for inbound Russian nuclear missiles.
As these words are being written, Dr. Edward Teller, "father" of the
H-Bomb is personally in the test tunnels of the Nevada Test Site,
driving his workers and associates in the words of one, "like a man
possessed". And well he should, for Dr. Teller is a member of MJ-12
along with Dr. Kissenger, Admiral Bobby Inman, and possibly Admiral
Poindexter, to name a few of the current members of MJ-12.

Before the "Grand Deception" was discovered and according to a
meticulous plan of metered release of information to the public,
several documentaries and video tapes were made. William Moore, a
Burbank, California, based UFO researcher who wrote "The Roswell
Incident", a book published in 1980 that detailed the crash, recovery
and subsequent cover-up of a UFO with 4 alien bodies, has a video tape
of 2 newsmen interviewing a military officer associated with MJ-12.
This military officer answers questions relating to the history of MJ-
12 and the cover-up, the recovery of a number of flying saucers and
the existence of a live alien (one of 3 living aliens captured and
designated, or named, EBE-1, EBE-2, and EBE-3, being held in a
facility designated as YY-II at Los Alamos, New Mexico. The only
other facility of this type, which is electromagnetically secure, is
at Edwards Air Force Base in Mojave, California). The officer names
those previously mentioned plus a few others: Harold Brown, Richard
Helms, Gen. Vernon Walters, JPL's Dr. Lew Allen and Dr. Theodore von
Karman, to name a few of the current and past members of MJ-12.

The officer also relates the fact that the EBE's claim to have created
Christ. The EBE's have a type of recording device that has recorded
all of Earth's history and can display it in the form of a hologram.
This hologram can be filmed but because of the way holograms work does
not come out very clear on movie film or video tape. The crucifixion
of Christ on the Mount of Olives has allegedly been put on film to
show the public. The EBE's claim to have created Christ, which, in
view of the "Grand Deception", could be an effort to disrupt
traditional values for undetermined reasons.

Another video tape allegedly in existence is an interview with an EBE.
Since EBE's communicate telepathically, an Air Force Colonel serves as
an interpreter. Just before the recent stock market correction in
October of 1987, several newsmen, including Bill Moore, had been
invited to Washington, D.C., to personally film the EBE in a similar
type interview, and distribute the film to the public. Apparently,
because of the correction in the market, it was felt the timing was
not propitious. In any case, it certainly seems like an odd method to
inform the public of extraterrestrials, but it would be in keeping
with the actions of a panicked organization who at this point in time
doesn't know which way to turn.

Moore is also in possession of more Aquarius documents, a few pages of
which leaked out several years ago and detailed the supersecret NSA
project which had been denied by them until just recently. In a
letter to Senator John Glenn, NSA's Director of Policy, Julia B.
Wetzel, wrote, "Apparently there is or was an Air Force project with
that name (Aquarius) which dealt with UFO's. Coincidently, there is
also an NSA project by that name." NSA's project Aquarius deals
specifically with the "communications with the aliens" (the EBE's).
Within the Aquarius program was project "Snowbird", a project to test-
fly a recovered alien aircraft at Groom Lake, Nevada. This project
continues today at that location. In the words of an individual who
works at Groom Lake, "Our people are much better at taking things
apart than they are at putting them back together."

Moore, who claims he has a contact with MJ-12, feels that they have
been stringing him along, slipping him documents and providing him
leads, promising to go public with some of the information on
extraterrestrials by the end of 1987.

Certain of Moore's statements lead one to believe that Moore himself
is a government agent working for MJ-12, not to be strung along, but
string along ever hopeful UFOlogists that the truth is just around the
corner. Consider:

1. Moore states emphatically that he is not a government agent,
although when Lee Graham (a Southern California based UFOlogist) was
investigated by DIS (Defense Investigative Service) for possession of
classified documents received from Moore, Moore himself was not.

2. Moore states emphatically that the cattle mutilations of 1973-
1983 were a hoax by Linda Howe (producer of "A Strange Harvest") to
create publicity for herself. He cites the book "Mute Evidence" as
the bottom line of the hoax. "Mute Evidence" was a government
sponsored book to explain the mutilations in conventional terms.

3. Moore states that the U.S.A.F. Academy physics book,
"Introductory Space Science", vol. II chapter 13, entitled
"Unidentified Flying Objects", which describes four of the most
commonly seen aliens (one of which is the EBE) was written by Lt. Col.
Edward R. Therkelson and Major Donald B. Carpenter, Air Force
personnel who did not know what they were talking about and were
merely siting "crackpot" references. He, Moore, states that the book
was withdrawn to excise the chapter.

If the government felt they were being forced to acknowledge the
existence of aliens on Earth because of the overwhelming evidence such
as the October and November sightings in Wytheville, Va., and recently
released books such as "Night Siege" (Hynek, J. Allen;Imbrogno,
Phillip J.;Pratt, Bob:Night Siege, Ballantine Books, Random House, New
York), and taking into consideration the "grand deception" and
obviously hostile intentions of the EBE's, it might be expedient for
MJ-12 to admit the EBE's but conceal the information on the
mutilations and abductions. If MJ-12 and Moore were in some kind of
agreement then it would be beneficial to Moore to toe the party line.
For example, MJ-12 would say... "here are some more genuine
documents... but remember... no talking about the mutilations or
abductions". This would be beneficial to Moore as it would supply the
evidence to support his theory that E.T.'s exist but deny the truths
about the E.T.'s. However, if Moore was indeed working for MJ-12, he
would follow the party line anyway... admitting the E.T.'s but pooh
poohing the mutilations and abductions. If working alone, Moore might
not even be aware of the "grand deception".

Time will tell. It is possible that Moore will go ahead and release
the video interview with the military officer around the first of the
year, as he has promised. From MJ-12's point of view, the public
would be exposed to the information without really having to believe
it because Moore is essentially not as credible a source as, say, the
President of the United States. After a few months of digestion and
discussion, a more credible source could emerge with a statement that,
"yes, in fact the interview was essentially factual". This scenario
would cushion somewhat the blow to the public. If, however, Moore
does not release the tape by, say, February 1 of 1988, but comes
instead with a story similar to: "MJ-12 has informed me that they are
definitely planning a release of all information by October of 88. I
have seen the plan and have seen the guarantee that this will happen,
so I have decided to withhold the release of my video tape at this
time as it may cause some problems with MJ-12's plans." This would in
effect buy more time for MJ-12 and time is what they desperately need.

Now you ask, "Why haven't I heard about any of this?" Who do you think
you would hear it from? Dan Rather? Tom Brokaw? Sam Donaldson?
Wrong. These people just read the news, they don't find it. They
have ladies who call and interview witnesses and verify statements on
stories coming over the wire (either AP or UPI). It's not like Dan
Rather would go down to Wytheville, Virginia, and dig into why there
were 4 THOUSAND reported sightings in October and November of 1987.
Better that Tom Brokaw or someone else should risk their credibility
on this type of story. Tom Brokaw? Tom wants Sam Donaldson to risk
his credibility. No one, but no one, is going to risk their neck on
such outlandish ideas, regardless of how many people report sightings
of 900 foot objects running them off the road. In the case of the
Wytheville sightings, dozens of vans with NASA lettered on the side
failed to interest newsmen. And those that asked questions were
informed that NASA was doing a weather survey.

Well then, you ask, what about our scientists? What about Carl Sagan?
Isaac Asimov? Arthur C. Clarke? Wouldn't they have known? If Carl
Sagan knows then he is committing a great fraud through the
solicitation of memberships in the Planetary Society, "to search for
extraterrestrial intelligence". Another charade into which the U.S.
Government dumps million of dollar every year is the radio telescope
in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, operated by Cornell University with - guess
who? - Carl Sagan. Cornell is ostensibly searching for signals from
Outer Space, a sign maybe, that somebody is out there. It is hard to
believe that relatively intelligent astronomers like Sagan could be so
ignorant.

What about Isaac Asimov? Surely the most prolific science fiction
writer of all time would have guessed by now that there must be an
enormous cover-up? Maybe, but if he knows he's not saying. Perhaps
he's afraid that "Foundation" and "Empire" will turn out to be
inaccurate.

What about Arthur C. Clarke? Surely the most technically accurate of
Science Fiction writers with very close ties to NASA would have at
least a hint of what's really going on. Again, if so he isn't
talking. In a recent Science Fiction survey, Clarke estimates that
contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life would not occur before
the 21st Century.

If the government won't tell us the truth and the major networks won't
even give it serious consideration, then what is the big picture,
anyway? Are the EBE's, having done a hundred thousand or more
abductions (possibly millions worldwide), built an untold number of
secret underground bases (Groom Lake, Nevada; Sunspot, Datil, Roswell,
and Pine Town, New Mexico, just to name a few) getting ready to return
to wherever they came from? Or, form the obvious preparations are we
to assume that they are getting ready for a big move? Or is the more
sinister and most probable situation that the invasion is essentially
complete and it is all over but the screaming?

A well planned invasion of Earth for it's resources and benefits would
not begin with mass landings of ray-gun equipped aliens. A properly
planned and executed invasion by a civilization thousands and probably
hundreds of thousands of years in advance of us would most likely be
complete before even a handful of people (say 12?) realized what was
happening. No fuss, no muss. The best advice I can give you is this:
Next time you see a flying saucer and are awed by its obvious display
of technology and gorgeous lights of pure color - RUN LIKE HELL!

AIDS CONSPIRACY - JUST A THEORY?

by John S. James<br> for SF Sentinel<br> Copyright 1986 by John S. James;<br> permission granted for non-commercial use.

We keep hearing more today about AIDS conspiracy theories. While this writer finds problems with most of the germ warfare scenarios, the other kind of allegation - severe and perhaps deliberate mismanagement of the public-health response to the epidemic - is hard to refute.

The evidence supports an urgent call for action by physicians, scientists, AIDS organizations, church and civic groups, and others. For the real value of a conspiracy theory is to wake us up to today's holocaust and to augment ongoing efforts to save lives.

This article looks briefly at the germ warfare theories, and then examines in depth the unconscionable neglect and mismanagement of AIDS treatment research. Related topics, such as the swine flu theory, official neglect or mismanagement of prevention, education and patient support efforts, or the drastic cutbacks in Federal support for public health, are beyond our scope here.

GERM WARFARE THEORIES

These theories view AIDS as a weapon, developed by someone's germ warfare experiments and released accidentally or deliberately. Proponents have done an excellent job of collecting background information on germ warfare and how it may relate to AIDS. Rather than reviewing this information in detail, we will tell you where to obtain it for yourself (1). There are problems with the germ warfare theory. Almost all the evidence supporting it concerns only the possibility that germ warfare may have happened, not whether it actually did. The key technical issue is whether anyone knew enough to have created the AIDS virus.

The hardest task in generating a new human disease would be to get it spread as an epidemic. It would be easier to concoct a disease for delivery to the battlefield, to kill people there and then die out. It would be even easier to start an epidemic with an existing disease, which can already spread from one individual to another - the hardest thing for a disease to do. But creating the AIDS virus and making sure it worked would have taken many human experiments which would have killed the people involved. Every test would have taken months or years because of the long incubation period. Bureaucrats would be afraid to approve a project that would kill human subjects. It's hard to believe that an effort of this scale could have been accomplished by a small group without management authorization.

The other problem with the germ warfare theory is that it doesn't lead us to any productive action now. Even if true, it would be almost impossible to prove. Even if proved, we could only punish the guilty, not save lives.

The germ warfare theory, then, distracts from a better use of our energies. There is another possible conspiracy which, if proved, could wake people up from a terrible silence and neglect which now prevails.

MISMANAGEMENT OR SABOTAGE OF TREATMENT RESEARCH

This writer's previous articles have documented an appalling consistency of neglected treatment opportunities, leads not followed up, and lack of priority on saving lives. We don't have the smoking gun - proof of public policy made for the deliberate purpose of letting people die. But there is no excuse for continuing to leave treatment research to "the experts", without independent monitoring and overview. The experts are focused on their own specialties and constrained in many ways by those who control their funding, who have agendas of their own. When we look at some specifics to follow, keep in mind these general patterns, which prevail almost without exception: * The only AIDS treatment research seriously pursued by established institutions concerns options which will not be widely available to physicians for a long time, at least a year and probably several years.

(Many developments in conventional treatments for opportunistic infections do become available sooner, but these do not address the underlying condition of AIDS, and do little to change the ultimate outcome.)

* Even the superstars of AIDS research (let alone the unknowns) must continually plead for money to keep their work alive. They are kept on short leashes. They therefore do not criticize what is going on, but stick to their own specialties; they act only under guidelines with prior institutional approval. Suppliers who sell drugs or equipment to doctors know that in any field there are only a handful of leaders, and thousands more who follow the prevailing conventional wisdom. These followers do not evaluate new treatments on their merits. And in today's science and medicine, the leaders are those able to bring big money into their institutions. They remain leaders only so long as they remain acceptable to the political forces which control that money.

* AIDS organizations have done excellent work in prevention, education, and support. But they have neglected to monitor what is going on in treatment research. In leaving the research to the experts, then have contented themselves with the image of brilliant scientists working day and night to find a cure.

The result? No one is watching. There is unbelievable mismanagement which could never have been so bad under an informed public.

THE SQUANDERED TREATMENTS

Here are some of the ignored opportunities and mismanaged treatments that have been described in depth in earlier installments of this column:

* BHT has proved effective against every lipid-coated virus tested, both IN VITRO (in a laboratory dish) and IN VIVO (in animals or humans). The AIDS virus is lipid coated, but no one has tested BHT with AIDS IN VITRO or IN VIVO, and we know of no institutional plans or effort to do any such test.

We aren't claiming that BHT necessarily works for treating AIDS or ARC. But when so much evidence suggests that it might, why is there no institutional interest in finding out? This case is one of many which shows that U.S. public policy treats the AIDS epidemic as less than an emergency.

* AL 721 shows considerable promise as both an antiviral and immune enhancer; its action is different from other drugs and thus doesn't completely fit the above categories. Since AL 721 is composed entirely of ingredients found in food, and appears to be completely safe, it should have been tested immediately. But AL 721 has been withheld from physicians pending proof of effectiveness. It took most of a year just to start the first preliminary test on a handful of subjects, and it may take years more before physicians are allowed to use their professional judgement on trying AL 721 for their patients.

* AZT may be the best AIDS treatment to date, although it may have serious side effects. We hereby publish - apparently for the first time anywhere - the fact that AZT has a hidden history, blacked out of all current scientific and popular articles about it. Eight years ago several published papers described its antiviral effects, and named the same mode of antiviral action being discussed today. Today's work represents little scientific advance over eight years ago; it only adds the performance of obvious tests with the AIDS virus and with AIDS/ARC patients.

The public believes that Burroughs-Wellcome developed AZT; instead what the company did was to keep everyone else away by buying up the worldwide patent rights, and the world supply of the key ingredient used in its manufacture. (The company deserves credit, however, for bringing the compound to public attention; otherwise, it might have been lost.) The serious ethical concerns with the conduct of the current clinical trials on AZT have been documented elsewhere (2).

* Intravenous gamma globulin has shown good results in treating pneumocystis and other opportunistic infections - despite the paradox that the patients already had gamma globulin levels which were too high. Gamma globulin infusion should be considered for toxoplasmosis, a brain infection which is becoming more prevalent and is hard to treat with drugs now employed. Doctors can use gamma globulin routinely - its intended use is for immune deficiencies other that AIDS - but only a handful of AIDS or ARC patients have received it. Apparently, no one has promoted it to doctors; the manufacturer is prohibited from doing so because its use for AIDS/ARC is not officially approved. Obtaining such approval would take much time and money.

* Natural therapies - ranging from well-known ones like vitamin C and garlic to newer botanicals like shiitake and chlorella - clearly deserve attention. But they have been almost completely ignored by institutional AIDS research.

By contrast, some natural remedies for other conditions - such as the herb feverfew for preventing some migraine headaches - have been rigorously tested in patients by simple double-blind trials, and are now known to work. It would be ethically and scientifically justified to test natural remedies in random double-blind trials, with patients who also received all standard medical treatments recommended by their physicians.

We can get solid answers about natural remedies, but to get them fast requires financial and policy support for doctors and scientists who can do the work. In the U.S., such support has been virtually nonexistent. (The study of feverfew and headaches was done in England.)

RUMORS OF WORSE

We have heard credible, but unconfirmed reports of worse mismanagement. We are publishing these reports so that others who have additional information can help us confirm or disprove them.

* Several years ago, a government committee of scientists reviewing research grants may have been ordered to not fund any AIDS research, as Congress was under pressure from a fundamentalist campaign. The scientists reportedly complied. Anyone with specific information, especially the names and dates that would identify specific files for a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, should contact this writer (3). It is important to put the facts on the record to wake people up to the more subtle forms of sabotage probably happening now.

* In 1985, a disastrous study of the drug suramin is generally agreed to have killed several people. Now this study is being used to impede further research by denying AIDS/ARC patients and their physicians access to other experimental treatments.

Yet, a number of persons close to the suramin trials believe that the deaths and other damage stemmed from dosage and other errors in how these tests were conducted - errors that were preventable based on previously available information. (The doses and other procedures were set centrally, not by the individual doctors or hospitals which ran the trials.)

We need more information. The big concern is to prevent this unfortunate event from causing thousands of additional deaths by impeding AIDS treatment research now and in the future. * We are investigating reports of antivirals virtually unknown in this country. U.S. doctors were reportedly denied permission to test one of them, although other treatments like HPA-23, with less medical merit but widely publicized (due to Rock Hudson's involvement), were quickly approved.

SUMMARY

The mismanagement of AIDS treatment research is far worse than the public - or even AIDS experts - realize. The incidents we have cited appear to be only the tip of an iceberg. We must have independent analyses of treatment research and related policy issues and decisions. The official experts are too close to their own specialties and overly dependent on the continued good graces of funding sources to do this job for us. AIDS activists and organizations who have avoided treatment research because they don't have a scientific background, should realize that they don't need to be experts because the most important need is for organizing. Physicians and scientists already have pieces of the information, and they need someone they can talk to who can put the pieces together and let people know what is going on. Non-scientists can fairly easily grasp treatment-research issues; these don't require an extensive background in biology or medicine.

For several months this writer has published reports of potentially life-saving treatments that have been ignored or grossly mismanaged; no one has yet found any errors in this reporting. What is most unbelievable is that no one else has been bringing out this information. With thousands dead, millions of people affected, and thousands of doctors, scientists and journalists involved, there has been a conspiracy of silence around the central issues of AIDS treatment research.

The consistent, severe mismanagement of this research will stop when doctors, scientists, journalists, and organizers stop passing the buck to other experts, and begin to inform one another and the public.
 
I can't believe I actually wasted about 20 minutes of my life to read that UFO conspiracy story Stinker. :D

That idiot needs to step AWAY from the crack pipe. :idea:

Hey Kev,

I believe he is not referring to the eight "multitrack" recording system but to the 8 track cartridge playback unit........

It came out in the late 60s and replaced the four track cartridge system....

They were both POS..............

WOW Tim, someone other than me remembers 4-track tapes. I have memtioned them to a lot of older people and no one remembers them. Yeah Yeah I already know I am older than dirt, OK.

Its interesting that you posted this...cause I have an "acquaintance" that has been hounding me the last few weeks about "The Truth".....something about a Bilderberg Group and that the governments of the world are all controlled by a few people. He even said that the U.S. Mint is B.S. because they make money with nothing to back it up, i.e. all of that gold they "supposedly" have at Fort Knox. He also says the U.S. is an experimant to see if they can control a civilized population....Blah, blah, blah.

However, I am interested in stuff like this. If not for anything other than to see another point of view. However, I didn't know that you are a Conspiracy Theorist Stinker!!:D
 
Yeah bro from the fact that kennedy was killed by our own government to the new ruins found right off the cuban islands to the myans calender and the year 2012 to the pyramids yatta yattaa:D
 
here ya go KraZY


The Bilderberg Group is a group of influential people, mostly politicians and business people, whose existence and activities are private, and due to its secretive nature is the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. The group meets annually at five-star resorts throughout the world, normally in Europe, although sometimes in America or Canada. It has an office in Leiden, South Holland.

Although the group has no official name, the "Bilderberg Group" title comes from what is generally recognized to be the location of its first official meeting in 1954: the Bilderberg Hotel in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

The group has been depicted as an international cabal of the influental and the affluent: politicians, financiers, and media and business moguls; the elite of the elite. Some believe that they have dictated national policies, rigged (or outright stolen) national elections, caused wars, recessions, and ordered murders and ousters of world leaders such as American president John F. Kennedy and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The original intention of the Bilderberg group was to further the understanding between Western Europe and North America through informal meetings between powerful individuals. Each year, a "steering committee" devises a selected invitation list with a maximum of 100 names; invitations are only extended to residents of Europe and North America. The location of their annual meeting is not secret, and the agenda and list of participants are openly available to the public, but the topics of the meetings are kept secret: they are not published, and attendees pledge not to divulge what was discussed. The official stance of the Bilderberg Group is that their secrecy prevents these individuals' discussions from being manipulated by the media. However, social class-related exclusivity is considered by many to be the primary motive. Security is managed by military intelligence.

Perspectives on the nature of the group

The stated reason for the group's secrecy is that it enables people to speak freely without the need to carefully consider how every word might be interpreted by the mass media. However, as many of the attendees have gained their power through the democratic process, it is debatable if it is morally desirable for them to exercise their power off the record. This secrecy has led conspiracy researchers to claim that the meetings have a sinister purpose; that they are merely a front for the Round table groups, or even a semi-public front for the Illuminati or assorted other secret societies.

The Bilderberg Group has been described as:


A "discussion group" of politicians, media moguls, academics and business leaders

An exclusive international lobby of the power elite of Europe and North America, capable of influencing international policy

A capitalist secret society operating entirely through self-interest.
Attendees of Bilderberg include central bankers, defense experts, mass media press barons, government ministers, prime ministers, royalty, international financiers and political leaders from Europe and America.Some of the Western world's leading financiers and foreign policy strategists attend Bilderberg. Donald Rumsfeld is an active Bilderberger - so is Peter Sutherland from Ireland, a former European Union commissioner and chairman of Goldman Sachs and of BP. Rumsfeld and Sutherland served together in 2000 on the board of the Swedish/Swiss energy company ABB. Former US Deputy Defense Secretary and current World Bank head Paul Wolfowitz is also a member, as is Roger Boothe, Jr. The group's current chairman is Étienne Davignon, the Belgian politician and businessman.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group BBC - October 7, 2005

Bilderberg's head Viscount Davignon plays down the group's role in setting the international agenda.

How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. As part of the BBC's Who Runs Your World? series, Bill Hayton tries to find out more.

Every year since 1954, a small network of rich and powerful people have held a discussion meeting about the state of the trans-Atlantic alliance and the problems facing Europe and the US.

Organised by a steering committee of two people from each of about 18 countries, the Bilderberg Group (named after the Dutch hotel in which it held its first meeting) brings together about 120 leading business people and politicians.

At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi - among other multi-national corporations, editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners, the crown prince of Belgium and the queen of the Netherlands.

"I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists. I simply think it's people who have influence interested to speak to other people who have influence," Viscount Davignon says.

"Bilderberg does not try to reach conclusions - it does not try to say 'what we should do'. Everyone goes away with their own feeling and that allows the debate to be completely open, quite frank - and to see what the differences are.

"Business influences society and politics influences society - that's purely common sense. It's not that business contests the right of democratically-elected leaders to lead".

For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Jim Tucker, editor of a right-wing newspaper, the American Free Press for example, alleges they organise wars and elect and depose political leaders. He describes the group as simply 'evil'. So where does the truth lie?

Professor Kees van der Pijl of Sussex University in Britain says such private networks of corporate and political leaders play an informal but crucial role in the modern world.

"There need to be places where these people can think about the main challenges ahead, co-ordinate where policies should be going, and find out where there could be a consensus."

'Common sense'

Will Hutton, an economic analyst and former newspaper editor who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense" about policy.

"On every issue that might influence your business you will hear at first-hand the people who are actually making those decisions and you will play a part in helping them to make those decisions and formulating the common sense," he says.

And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants - in particular free trade. Viscount Davignon says that at the annual meetings, "automatically around the table you have internationalists" - people who support the work of the World Trade Organisation, trans-Atlantic co-operation and European integration.

Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed.

'Secret Government'

This has led to accusations that the group pushes its favoured politicians into high office. But Viscount Davignon says his steering committee are simply excellent talent spotters. The steering committee "does its best assessment of who are the bright new boys or girls in the beginning phase of their career who would like to get known."

"It's not a total accident, but it's not a forecast and if they go places it's not because of Bilderberg, it's because of themselves," Viscount Davignon says.

But its critics say Bilderberg's selection process gives an extra boost to aspiring politicians whose views are friendly to big business. None of this, however, is easy to prove - or disprove.

Observers like Will Hutton argue that such private networks have both good and bad sides. They are unaccountable to voters but, at the same time, they do keep the international system functioning. And there are limits to their power - a point which Bilderberg chairman was keen to stress, "When people say this is a secret government of the world I say that if we were a secret government of the world we should be bloody ashamed of ourselves."

Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century. In the eyes of critics they have undermined democracy, but their supporters believe they are crucial to modern democracy's success. And so long as business and politics remain mutually dependent, they will continue to thrive.

2004
The Ultimate Conspiracry - 50th anniversary

June 3, 2004 - BBC

The Bilderberg group, an elite coterie of Western thinkers and power-brokers, has been accused of fixing the fate of the world behind closed doors. As the organisation marks its 50th anniversary, rumours are more rife than ever.

Given its reputation as perhaps the most powerful organisation in the world, the Bilderberg group doesn't go a bundle on its switchboard operations.

Telephone inquiries are met with an impersonal female voice - the Dutch equivalent of the BT Callminder woman - reciting back the number and inviting callers to "leave a message after the tone".

Anyone who accidentally dialled the number would probably think they had stumbled on just another residential answer machine.



Leiden in Holland, the inauspicious base of the Bilderberg group
But behind this ultra-modest façade lies one of the most controversial and hotly-debated alliances of our times.

On Thursday the Bilderberg group marks its 50th anniversary with the start of its yearly meeting.

For four days some of the West's chief political movers, business leaders, bankers, industrialists and strategic thinkers will hunker down in a five-star hotel in northern Italy to talk about global issues.

What sets Bilderberg apart from other high-powered get-togethers, such as the annual World Economic Forum (WEF), is its mystique.

Not a word of what is said at Bilderberg meetings can be breathed outside. No reporters are invited in and while confidential minutes of meetings are taken, names are not noted.

The shadowy aura extends further - the anonymous answerphone message, for example; the fact that conference venues are kept secret. The group, which includes luminaries such as Henry Kissinger and former UK chancellor Kenneth Clarke, does not even have a website.

In the void created by such aloofness, an extraordinary conspiracy theory has grown up around the group that alleges the fate of the world is largely decided by Bilderberg.

In Yugoslavia, leading Serbs have blamed Bilderberg for triggering the war which led to the downfall of Slobodan Milosevic. The Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, the London nail-bomber David Copeland and Osama Bin Laden are all said to have bought into the theory that Bilderberg pulls the strings with which national governments dance.

And while hardline right-wingers and libertarians accuse Bilderberg of being a liberal Zionist plot, leftists such as activist Tony Gosling are equally critical.

A former journalist, Mr Gosling runs a campaign against the group from his home in Bristol, UK.

"My main problem is the secrecy. When so many people with so much power get together in one place I think we are owed an explanation of what is going on.

Mr Gosling seizes on a quote from Will Hutton, the British economist and a former Bilderberg delegate, who likened it to the annual WEF gathering where "the consensus established is the backdrop against which policy is made worldwide".

"One of the first places I heard about the determination of US forces to attack Iraq was from leaks that came out of the 2002 Bilderberg meeting," says Mr Gosling.

But "privacy, rather than secrecy", is key to such a meeting says Financial Times journalist Martin Wolf, who has been invited several times in a non-reporting role.

"The idea that such meetings cannot be held in private is fundamentally totalitarian," he says. "It's not an executive body; no decisions are taken there."

As an up-and-coming statesmen in the 1950s, Denis Healey, who went on to become a Labour chancellor, was one of the four founding members of Bilderberg (which was named after the hotel in Holland where the first meeting was held in 1954).

His response to claims that Bilderberg exerts a shadowy hand on the global tiller is met with characteristic bluntness. "Crap!"

"There's absolutely nothing in it. We never sought to reach a consensus on the big issues at Bilderberg. It's simply a place for discussion," says Lord Healey.

Formed in the spirit of post-war trans-Atlantic co-operation, the idea behind Bilderberg was that future wars could be prevented by bringing power-brokers together in an informal setting away from prying eyes.

"Bilderberg is the most useful international group I ever attended. The confidentiality enabled people to speak honestly without fear of repercussions.

"In my experience the most useful meetings are those when one is free to speak openly and honestly. It's not unusual at all. Cabinet meetings in all countries are held behind closed doors and the minutes are not published."

That activists have seized on Bilderberg is no surprise to Alasdair Spark, an expert in conspiracy theories.

"The idea that a shadowy clique is running the world is nothing new. For hundreds of years people have believed the world is governed by a cabal of Jews.

"Shouldn't we expect that the rich and powerful organize things in their own interests. It's called capitalism."
 
My "acquaintance" says he has videos of a guy talking about this group among other things. I must admit I have no use for speculation, but I do entertain his philosophies. He was telling me recently that the War of the Worlds incident in the 30's or 40's was actually an experiment on mass mind control....hmmmm.

Wow Kris!! This is the most coherent, non-jibberish I have seen you type....ever!!


Oh, and for the record, all the gold in Ft. Knox doesn't mean a thing anymore, the U.S. left the gold standard far behind.
