"Europe should pool its defence resources"

Javier Solana – finally coming out of the EU ‘Peacekeeping’ Closet?

The London Financial Times has just posted an article by Javier Solana.[1] Modestly entitled “Europe should pool its defence resources”, it calls for each and every European country to immediately pool their resources. Such resources total 160 billion Euros or in US dollar terms $201 billion.

Says Solana, “[T]he scale of the transformation required is huge. A radical shift of investment must be made . . . We need the equipment and technology to allow peacekeeping troops to be rapidly deployed . . . We need the intelligence capabilities to understand what is happening on the ground . . . and communications for effective command and control. . . The logic of pursuing transformation as a collaborative venture is both operational and economic. Europe’s crisis management operations will be multinational; it makes no sense for each contingent to have incompatible equipment. Pooling resources on research, technology development and the acquisition and maintenance of equipment is the only way our armed forces will get interoperable equipment at a price they can afford . .”

Oh, and about his “American partners”, what does Uncle Javier say?

“That is how the second part of the EDA’s mandate can be achieved: the strengthening of Europe’s defence technology and industrial base to compete effectively on a global basis with US defence companies . . .”

That’s right folks – COMPETE – NOT COOPERATE.

Wonder what he’s doing with all those lovely post-911 aerial photos of American military and industrial installations as the NATO planes patrolled our skies? Please go to the archives and see my blogspot of April 17th. [2]

Sorry as usual to be the bearer of bad tidings, but a military machine such as he is describing is obviously for far more than “peacekeeping” – it is an indescribable instrument for war-making!

May the Lord help us all!

Interesting forerunners

Solana, John Buchan's novel, the European Union and 'the Ashoka Nine'
Interesting claims, interesting forerunners



In researching some of the ties and similarities of vision, I have made some intriguing finds -- I am still following up on this, but the vision propelling the European Union may in part be traced to some of the more exotic New Age beliefs of "The Ashoka 9". I first read of this theory in doing my original 1981 work on the New Age Movement. It was detailed in a book by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known as "OSHO." I AM THE GATE was the title to this work. I note cynically that Rajneesh/Osho didn't say to where. Javier Solana is daily less bashfully claiming heightened powers he is expected to hold very soon over Europe and even beyond. For sure, based on his writings, he is as the New Agers say, "thinking globally, acting locally." Of the position he has carved out for himself under the expected new constitution, he writes for Global Agenda Magazine:

Finally, the Constitution foresees the creation of an EU External Action Service. This will bring together staff from different institutions that today shape and implement the EU’s foreign policies. For the first time Europe will have a single team working under one roof and answerable to one person responsible for the full range of EU external relations. http://www.globalagendamagazine.com/2005/javiersolana.asp

This is sobering enough. But it becomes even more interesting when one considers that Solana's mother's personal "teacher" was one and the same as the Indian guru who gave all of Oregon, USA such a fright in the 1980s. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh first took over the town of Antelope, Oregon and nearly took over Madras, Oregon as well. He renamed the first as Rajneeshpuram. He then constructed crematoriums with bleacher seats. He armed the town's police force with more weapons than the entire state of Oregon. This alarmed even a normally sympathetic to Rajneesh, Yoga Instructors Journal. Finally, his subordinates injected salmonella poisoning in the neighboring hostile communities' water supply. Only then was he finally deported. Fleeing deportation, he flew with his private plane to Spain, relying on promises that he could have residency there. This was during a time when Solana was spokesman for the Spanish government. I am surmising, but one possibility is that the promises were given by those with access to Solana and then revoked, when it was clear that Rajneesh was the international embarrassment he had become in 1987, the promise was not kept. Rajneesh expressed great disgust about this in his bio. Solana's mother's 1996 book, however, still refers affectionately to Osho and reported that he had urged her to write her book on the life of Sir Francis Bacon and had blessed her efforts.

What was so terribly of interest in Rajneesh's book was that he proclaimed the New Age would see the positive re-emergence of the swastika as a symbol. He also talked of a secret history involving human history and "the Ashoka Nine." According to Rajneesh, Krishnamurti, the Theosophical candidate between 1910 and 1929 to be the long awaited "Maitreya the Christ" was completely suitable for the job. Rajneesh mourned that nobody knew why he didn't take it, but when he declined, the Ashoka Nine then turned to Adolfus Hitler. The reason Hitler didn't make it, per Rajneesh, obviously ignoring the divine intervention, was that Hitler got to thinking he was bigger than the Ashoka nine. Now, per Rajneesh, there is somebody new in the wings.


In writing my 1983 released HIDDEN DANGERS, I consulted several books dealing with the Nazis and the occult. One was the Jean-Michel Angebert book, THE OCCULT AND THE THIRD REICH which I am presently rereading and redigesting. Another was Pauwels and Bergiers THE MORNING OF THE MAGICIANS. Interesting internet analyses have been done on that book. One frequent blogspot contributor is Terry who hosts a conspiracy related website. He made reference to that book recently on my comments page. As I told him, I was familiar with the work, but frankly considered the Angebert work superior. However, that is not to say that THE MORNING OF THE MAGICIANS is without value. Au contraire, there are great insights to be had there into the mindset of those who would revisit that not-so-blessed morning upon us. Another interesting weblink contains a 10 year old essay on Morning of the Magicians by R. T. Gault. He makes reference to writers Talbot Mundy, "The Nine Unknown" and unnervingly to John Buchan's THE POWER HOUSE. The full link may be found by clicking on the "Interesting Forerunners" heading to this blogspot article.

"… in which the hero has an unnerving conversation with a conspirator in a group of "extra-social intelligences" -- idealists who are going to make a new world. The story is from 1910, and the ideas expressed sound uncomfortably like Nazism. [Buchan is best known as the father of the modern spy novel, but was a loyal servant of the late British Empire, serving as Governor General of Canada for a while. He expressed some of the same fear of new fascist groups in his The Three Hostages, 1924.]

While your guess as to who Rajneesh's new candidate for "Maitreya"/Betraya or whatever his name is supposed to be is as good as mine, could it possibly be Rajneesh student Nieves Mathew's younger son? When one considers that Buchan was a family friend and correspondent of a prominent Theosophical allied grandfather of one of Javier Solana's greatest on-line fans, one calling the relatively short man, "Solana, A Giant Among Men", one who has posted to this very board, one is given pause indeed. The New Agers might call it "synchronicity," Christians might call it "revelation" -- others might call it a coincidence. Once again, I don't know, but would love to find out!

As always, I invite all comments.

Repost - Lost in Phelps Shuffle

EU ADVICE AND PROTECTION FOR ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN GREATER EUROPEAN NEIGHBORHOOD-- AREN'T THEY LUCKY?!


Dear Readers:

This is a very quick repost. This was posted yesterday and then I noticed the sad rantings of the Eric Jon Phelps crowd not liking having their obvious New Age Movement connections uncovered. As they then proceeded on their own BBS to pronounce even Your Truly a "Jesuit Coadjutor", I humorously took advantage of that both to show the ludicrousness of their position and to simultaneously warn Catholics of New Age and New Age Disinformation moles within their own camps. So, that article may be accessed (and publicly commented upon) by clicking on the archived articles for 5-8-2005 (May 8, 2005) as the Americans count dates. In the meantime, one of the most important articles I have posted and am now reposting for those not familiar with accessing the archives, I am reposting.

The following article I had posted before discovering that little bit of apparent demonic confusion, had importance that I did not want overlooked in the Phelps' shuffle. Therefore, I am reposting it below. It assumes even more importance in light of certain pacts the EU's Javier Solana negotiated and signed with Russia yesterday. As there are now public discussions in the very Russian press itself about the potential importance to Russia of joining the European Union, I felt that the spotlight (sunshine?) needed to be regrouped on that. The prophetic implications should be obvious.

Javier Solana has recently announced the the EU is sending police advisers to the Palestinian Union. It is not the first such operation for the European Union.

http://ue.eu.int/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/EN/declarations/84603.pdf
http://mandela.inwent.org/ef/military/matthiessen.htm

Javier Solana continues to build his cabinet. He also has a large bureaucracy serving himself and his cabinet. He also has a very large budget. I reported 26 billion Euros on the Wikipedia article of which I was the primary author -- at least until SqueakBox did the butcher job. However, Chris Patten in a speech reported his External Affairs budget was something like 70 billion Euros. Since Javier Solana has long since succeeded to his and Patten's combined budgets, most likely it is somewhere far beyond the 70 billion euro figure for just the CFSP portion. When one counts, as does Solana, military resources as including those belonging individually to the about to be non-sovereign countries of the European Union, e.g, Great Britain's army, navy and airforce, Germany's police operations; France's army, navy, and airforce, etc., etc., and a continent full of potential recruits and or conscripts, one sees that Javier Solana has a potentially massive operation indeed.Michael Matthiessen works for Javier Solana. Solana must not trust his aides to go by themselves to represent his interests. Fascinatingly, Matthiessen noted in his speech to InWEnt, a Germany think tank conglomerate, that although his boss was Javier Solana, he was "under the control" of others:I am on the civilian side, I speak under the control of a colleague from the EU military staff being here, but I think we can say that we have worked very closely among the civilian and military actors. Not least in the case of Artemis, of course, the cooperation was very close with the Commission - and I'm speaking also on the control of a colleague from the Commission here - working with our colleagues dealing with humanitarian assist
These are some of the military operations of the European Union under Javier Solana that Mr. Matthiessen saw fit to discuss openly:
--ESDP - European Security and Defense Policy--Artemis--Operation Altea--CIMIC - Civilian Military Cooperation--CIMCO - Civilian Military Coordination--SHIRBRIG (Super High Readiness Brigade) proposed by Solana for the UN -- a global type of --CIMIC operation.--PfP - Partnership for Peace--Operation Proxima - Operates in former Yugoslavia--CMC - Crisis Management ConceptAnd these are the non-classified items! What about the thousands of formerly "transparent" documents that Solana subjected to secrecy starting in June 2000?
My CD-Rom informed its viewers of the CIMIC and SHIRBRIG operations.It seems that the European Union is not waiting for the Quartet for Peace in the Middle East to get its nose in both the Israeli-Palestinian Union tents. Last summer, Javier Solana bluntly toldIsrael's Ariel Sharon that "like it or not, the European Union is involved." Our very good friend 'SqueakBox' on several occasions erased that from the Wikipedia article on Solana, originally mostly written by yours truly and then butchered beyond recognition mostly by SqueakBox, although I had frustrations from a couple of would be editors from Herb Peters camp as well who started to hack that article, virtually inviting SqueakBox's disastrous intervention! SqueakBox honestly admitted he thought it might be a 'planted evidence', true as it was, to lead Christians and orthodox Jews to believe this might be at least an operating arm of the prophesied beast of Daniel and Revelation/Apocalypse. Well, see below as well as clicking on the link in the box contained above in the smaller headline. Also, please refer back to my last archived article and click on the reference link there. A very chatty member of Solana's staff, Michael Matthiessen delivers a speech to a German consulting conglomerate InWEnt. He tells of the EU's various police interventions in EU and NATO occupied countries -- going under names such as CIMIC, CIMCO, CIMCOP, etc., ad nauseum.
http://mandela.inwent.org/ef/military/matthiessen.htm
http://ue.eu.int/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/EN/declarations/84603.pdf
With the expanded and ever growing "Greater European Neighborhood," it appears the EU police state is expanding as well in this bizarre growing version of what Solana would have us think is a kind and friendly version, no more ominous than "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. For how long will the USA continue to maintain the fiction of "our European Allies" as this continues? How long until we invite these EU state police to help us extricate from our Iraqi mess as well. Interesting questions, interesting times, and as always, I invite your perspective and comments.

Laugh until you cry!

Tongue in Cheek Reporting – More on Eric Jon Phelps and Crowd

IN MY NEW AND LOFTY POSITION AS ‘Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Constance Cumbey’

Well, folks, this is my second blogspot for the day, but as you will read below, this one could not be resisted! Laugh until you cry -- I have!

http://forums.cjb.net/jesuitcontrol-post-719.html


Well, one certainly needs a sense of humor to survive the antics of the Eric Jon Phelps and his Catholic/Zionist bashing branch of the New Age Movement. Periodically, I put my name in on google.com to see what is being said and today I made a most interesting yield. It seems that I have a very high ranking position in the Jesuits, and/or maybe even Opus Dei itself! I am, per Eric Phelps and buddies, the “Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Constance Cumbey.”

Well, since I have been given that lofty title by Mr. Phelps and his friends who for the reasons shown below is obviously a high ranking Jesuit by the standards he has set forth, I have been thinking about changes I am going to make with all my new-found authority. Since “judgment begins at the House of the Lord,” I will start among my new order itself. Here are the immediate changes I will make starting with the Jesuits and moving on to the larger Roman Catholic Church:

1. Jesuit priest Mitch Pacwa is immediately discharged!! His disinformation book on the New Age Movement, Catholics and the New Age disrespectfully urges people NOT to read Constance Cumbey. Further in that book, he said another Jesuit, Teilhard de Chardin, a fellow-traveler with European Theosophists of his day, “saved his faith” by so loudly proclaiming cosmic evolution and about Matthew Fox, he wrote, “Is Matthew Fox a New Ager? That’s hard to say.” Since Matthew Fox and his Bear & Company have long been since a prominent part of the New Age Movement, that’s not hard for any honest person to say. Out goes Fr. Pacwa. And by the way, acting in my new authority as Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Constance Cumbey, I hereby proclaim that he may no longer appear on EWTN networks of Mother Angelica. We will not tolerate such disrespect here in THE ORDER!

2. Detroit area University of Detroit must IMMEDIATELY make some sweeping changes:

a. A professor of management, Michael Whitty, is hereby immediately stripped of all tenure and discharged. He has been a notoriously open New Ager since at least 1980! He was an enthusiastic participant when Detroit’s Unity Temple brought Benjamin Crème to Detroit to promote ‘Maitreya the Christ’ on November 4th, 1981 and remains active to this very day in the New Age Movement as well as with Matthew Fox, a now defrocked former Catholic priest who is today an Episcopalian priest. (But since the Jesuits created the New Age Movement, per Phelps, maybe he is an Episcopalian Jesuit priest, rather than the defrocked Dominican priest he purported to once be – maybe they are all Jesuits!)

b. The Jesuit priest Rev. John Saliba is hereby immediately discharged for his two-faced international activities on the New Age Movement – friendly to Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Constance Cumbey and critical of her in the British press where he obviously considers the New Age Movement a positive force for both the Church and humanity at large!

c. Cardinal Mahoney of Los Angeles, Bishop Gumbleton of Detroit, Fr. Thomas Berry, Fr. Thomas Keating, and Fr. Basil Pennington are hereby summarily discharged and excommunicated!

d. I immediately demand my fair share of the Vatican and Jesuit moneys – since they control the World Bank – I will accept my tithes of all moneys deposited therein!

e. Bro. Eric Jon Phelps is immediately discharged from the Jesuits. Since he admits he is published by a New Age Magazine, Spectrum Press, and now tells us that the New Age Movement is controlled by the Jesuits, he is obviously is a Jesuit himself. Therefore, in my new and important rank as Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Constance Cumbey, Eric Jon Phelps, you are immediately discharged from the JESUIT ORDER OF ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA!

And, last, but not least, exercising my new found powers as TEMPORAL COADJUTOR CONSTANCE CUMBEY, I hereby summarily and immediately dissolve the New Age Movement in its entirety and discharge Javier Solana as Office of the High Representative of the European Union (he’s just another Jesuit, you know.).

Well, friends, sorry for the spoof, but it was either laugh or cry over the exorbitancy of the lies told by this bunch. I weep for those honestly buying into Eric Jon Phelps and his lies calling for a bloodbath of Catholics initially and everybody else eventually. I weep for those who will have honest discourse challenged as ‘hate speech’ because everybody is lumped in with this bunch.

Herb says there are elephants in the room!

PER HERB PETERS, WE'VE GOT BIG ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM!

Folks, I've been occupied this weekend -- both with funerals, legal work, and research. I sneaked over to Herb Peter's website and found he's composed a compelling piece worthy of your reading. If you click on the headline above, you'll land there, or you can click on the link below. Be sure to click on all of Herb's "read all about it here" links.

http://www.fulfilledprophecy.com/elephants_in_room.html

Like I said many times before, I don't know if Javier's the man or not, or if we should look for another, but if he is, and the evidence is growing, it may be much later than any of us even dare think.

My research this weekend has concerned disturbing CIMIC, police state, EU policing operations all under Javier Solana and his cabinet underlings. I will be writing more about this later, but if you are curious and want to start your own research, here are a couple of dandy links.

http://mandela.inwent.org/ef/military/matthiessen.htm

I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was bitter-sweet. I said my final sad goodbyes to one of my very best friends, Liz Collins, who left this world after working closely and loyally with me since 1982 and her husband Bob after 50 years of marriage. She leaves her husband Robert, six children and many, many friends behind. She was a real trouper and I shall greatly miss her!

A BLACK HOLE CALLED 'JAVIER SOLANA'

A 'BLACK HOLE' NAMED SOLANA?



After I wrote the foregoing, I had the opportunity to read about still another powerful aspect of Javier Solana's powers. You may read about another apparent addition to Solana's cabinet here: http://ue.eu.int/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/EN/declarations/84572.pdf

I discovered last night that I'm not the only person noticing the ominous and growing powers of Javier Solana. I'm not the only person concerned about SqueakBox's attempts to marginalize as 'fanatic' all who oppose SqueakBox's frantic attempts to delete each and every negative internet reference to Solana. Particularly note the COMMENTS under the following link:

http://www.discardedlies.com/entries/2005/03/javier_solana_and_spreading_democracy.php

I've had a busy week in court and an equally busy week monitoring all the postings to my board stirred up by my necessary comments on the Eric Jon Phelps book and its New Age publisher Spectrum Press. Last night I decided to do a www.google.com search to see what our old 'friend' SqueakBox was up to. 'SqueakBox is a self-proclaimed Rastafarian believer in Haile Selassie as God. (I am told that Haile Selassie himself didn't believe that and begged those labelling such to repent from such untoward idolatry!) But SqueakBox has shown himself to be an even more apparent believer in the divinity of Javier Solana.

Those reading me or viewing my CD Rom PowerPoint Show presentation know I have never proclaimed Javier Solana is the beast. I do confess to saying that he could well be an educated guess. I guess the only person the evidence truly convinced is SqueakBox who then proceeded to remove the evidence because he thought (with the help of his New Zealand Wikipedia ally, "One Salient Oversight") that if that evidence were true, than he had to be the Christian 'beast' of Revelation. So, SqueakBox proceeded to eliminate all references to the Barcelona Conference (where Solana declared war on all religious fundamentalism, worldwide), to the ten nation Western European Union, to Solana's job being established in the Europa documents as "Section 666", and to Solana suggesting and receiving proposed near dictatorial powers over Europe for himself with "Recommendation 666," and last but not least references to Solana's long family history of anti-clericalism, his mother's affiliations with the Rajneesh/Osho cult, and Solana's taking hegemony over the Israeli-Palestine-Jordan neighborhood. SqueakBox proceeded to remove all of these and many others and then, inter alia, went on to publish a near libelous and inaccurate Wikipedia article on Yours Truly saying that she and Herb Peters were the originator of the "Solana is the Beast" theories. The truth is the only person who ever publicized it so extensively is 'Squeakbox' which to me either proves that:

1. SqueakBox is persuaded that Solana is THE BEAST and is using reverse psychology to publicize it while getting himself out of harm's way by suggesting it was somebody other than himself who gave the final word on Solana's presumed future and final future;

2. Maybe Solana is THE MAN and SqueakBox's groupie rantings prove that despite his meek and mild appearance that he has hypnotic powers over otherwise intelligent writers of stories about Honduran cathedrals.

I note with interest that the comments on "Discarded Lies" blogspot accuse SqueakBox of helping to diminish Wikipedia's reputation. That has been precisely my opinion -- SqueakBox's handling of serious evidence about Solana -- either trying to suppress it or counter it with slavishly sycophantic recitals about Solana's accomplishments as a little boy suggest to me that something is happening somewhere.

One "Discarded lies" commentator referred to Solana's power grabs as "a black hole". Another said in response to SqueakBox, "what if it turns out he isn't a good guy after all?"

Maybe we'd all better pay closer attention! I welcome everybody's comments -- including "One Salient Oversight" and yes, even dear old SqueakBox!

The Occult and the Third Reich

THE VERY SERIOUS WAR MOST OF US DO NOT KNOW WE ARE IN

Reading of Eric Jon Phelps and his advocacy of Bulwer-Lytton underground earth as well as the Hans Horbiger type fire and ice theories so popular in Hitler's Nazi regime, brought back memories of my earliest 1981 research on the New Age Movement. One of the most important books I read was THE OCCULT AND THE THIRD REICH by Jean Michel Angebert. That was the combined name of two French scholars. Their book was both translated and introduced by University of Tennessee Department Chairman, Lewis A. M. Sumberg.[i] I first read that book in 1981 as I was studying the New Age Movement and its more startling and obvious aims -- the installation of a new 'messiah' -- one who was neither Jesus nor Jewish.

New Age books, such as Alice Bailey's, intimated the Jews might get their own future separate national messiah, but he would not be the world messiah 'as the Jews had forever forfeited that privilege.' Here is the relevant quote from page 706 of Alice Bailey's THE RAYS AND THE INITIATIONS:

"It may interest you to know that the Christ has not yet decided what type of physical vehicle He will employ should He take physical form and work definitely upon the physical plane. He waits to see what nation or group of nations do the most work, and the most convincing work, in preparation for His reappearance. He will not, however, take a Jewish body as He did before, for the Jews have forfeited that privilege. The Messiah for Whom they wait will be one of Christ's senior disciples, but it will not be, as originally intended, the Christ. Symbolically, the Jews represent (from the point of view of the Hierarchy) that from which all Masters of the Wisdom and Lords of Compassion emerge: materialism, cruelty and a spiritual conservatism, so that today they live in Old Testament times and are [Page 706] under the domination of the separative, selfish, lower concrete mind. "

I noted in my book "HIDDEN DANGERS" that the New Age Movement featured both anti-Semitism and intense anti-Catholicism, in addition to being against true Christianity in just about any form. Reading the Phelps passages that I quoted in my Saturday post reminded me of important chapters I had read in the Jean-Michel Angebert book vis a vis Hitler's cosmogony. Moreover, there were important differences between Fascism and Nazism -- Nazism was much deeper and darker. Hitler envisioned a death struggle with Fascism once he had finished his other more preliminary battles.

That is part of what so intensely bothers me about the type of disinformation Phelps is shoveling out to the Protestant Christian community. The book has obvious absurdities: The Vatican controlling the English monarchy; Episcopalian Jesuits; the Jesuits killed Kennedy; the Jesuits killed John Kennedy, Jr., while simultaneously claiming that Teddy Kennedy is a Jesuit plant in the United States Senate. The Catholics have their faults to be sure, as do we all, but to make such unfounded and ludicrous accusations is sure to bring unfair labeling upon all believers!

With this type of literature so far going unchallenged in Evangelical circles makes me recoil to think I was accused of putting out ‘conspiracy theories’ for presenting the actual statements and plans of New Agers. The Phelps' book really is a conspiracy theory, in the most ugly and obscene sense of the word, and so many good people are buying into it, seeing only what they wanted to see, their filters bypassing the obvious occult sources and direction. When going to the SpectrumPress site to order it, why aren't people seeing the obvious long and intense list of New Age books -- why do they believe that Spectrum Press would be the only one to listen? Well, I will tell you right now that New Agers don't put out that type of stuff to win the world to Jesus! They do it to hasten the incineration of the world for Lucifer!

The Angebert thesis was that the two eternal enemies of occultism or “the gnosis” was (1) the Catholic Church “eternal enemy of the Gnosis, which it pursues relentlessly in all its forms, and (2) the Jewish Faith.

Knowing that and the oft-stated New Age position, stated perhaps most eloquently in Peter Lemesurier, that the game plan of the New Agers was to pit the target groups off against each other, I view just about anything too hateful about anybody with deep suspicion. Because of this, I decided The occult and the Third Reich required re-reading in view of the observations I have made over the nearly last quarter of a century. I will be updating the Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, and I just may make that available on this blogspot and Herb Peter’s website as well as seeking its republication in updated form.

I will be writing much more of this in forthcoming blogs; however, for now, I feel we must all be reminded how terribly, terribly serious all of this is. I quote from the dust jacket of the Jean-Michel Angebert work:

“He who has seen in National Socialism only a political movement, has seen nothing.” -- Adolf Hitler

“Some thirty years after this statement was made, the authors of The Occult and the Third Reich pronounced: “The time has come, once and for all, to call to account those who refuse to see in Nazism anything but a political system . . . Nazism is only the most recent outcropping of a militant neo-Paganism locked in a death struggle with its arch enemy, traditional Christianity, a struggle which will go on to the end of time.”

Whether we are now in end times, or merely another phase of the ancient battle with “our ancient foe who seeks to do us woe,” we must not be ignorant of the devices designed to take us to the dark side of that battle. I will be writing much more about this in the days to come.

Enjoy the balance of your weekend.

More Whoppers from "Brother Eric"

From the "sainted pen" of Eric Jon Phelps, a/k/a Jon Eric Phelps, a/k/a Jon Eric Felps
Phelps tries "AV1611" replay of long discredited Nazi Fire and Ice Theories

Well, dear blogspot readers. Thanks to one of my very good epals, I was directed to the latest on Eric Jon Phelps website. I saw a post that he allegedly believed in "hollow earth" theories, but I could not believe that even he would be dumb enough to post such proven fallacies. The Nazis had a well known belief in these theories. Their dogmatic belief in them probably cost the Nazis a possible World War II victory. These are also known as the Hans Horbiger fire and ice theories. Hitler comissioned a fleet to float up to the Arctic waters where he believed a subtropical sub-earth paradise to exist. Of course, they went without winter gear and icebreakers . . . Nobody dared say, "but the emperor isn't wearing anything" . . . and the rest is history. Now Eric Jon Phelps tells us on the one hand that the Jesuits controlled Nazi Germany. On the other hand, it is also the Jesuits seeking to keep us from believing the "truth"[NOT!] of these hollow earth, fire and ice theories.

Does Phelps want these theories to shipwreck us as they shipwrecked the Nazis? Is he telling the truth? Or is he simply playing one more round of the popular occult game, "Watch the Fundamentalists run!" You be the judges and I shall value your input, research, and comments! You may either go over to Bro. Eric's "VaticanAssassins.org" website and read it for yourself, or in case another popular New Age game of "Now you see us, now you don't", you may read it as Bro Eric wrote it below. Both the link and the text follows:
http://www.vaticanassassins.org/hollow_earth.htm

Dear Brethren and Friends,

The "hollow earth theory" is both Biblical and truly scientific. Moreso, the Jesuits have done much to suppress this knowledge. The Jesuit/Masonic/Rockefeller connection to Admiral Byrd in financing the Admiral's explorations, as well as Amadeo Giannini's connection to the Jesuit Order's wicked Bank of America spoken of below, further sustains the connection. Jesuit physicist and seismologist Jerome S. Riccard connected with the Archbishop of Boston William Cardinal O'Connell (Cardinal years being 1911-1944) further raises my suspicion of a massive Jesuit cover-up in order to keep from us the truth as to the proper functioning of the earth in relation to a geocentric creation. It is possible that between the two truths of the earth being fixed and thus "at rest," and the magnetic influences of this truly "hollow earth" we dwell upon, lie the secrets to understanding the law of gravity thus enabling the Jesuit Millita of the Black Pope to build anti-gravity aerodynes, i.e., UFOs.


This 1926 photo shows 1881 Boston College graduate William Cardinal O'Connell,
who as Boston Archbishop had encouraged the Jesuits to move their College
from the South End location, walking the grounds of the Chestnut Hill Campus.
He is accompanied by (R-L) Jesuit University President James Dolan, S.J.,
Director of Harvard (Beer) Brewing Company Walter Guyette of Lowell,
and Jesuit Vice Provincial James Kilroy, S.J. The Jesuit Order totally controls
the Pope's Roman Hierarchy in America. The Hierarchy, using its Papal Knights,
controls the Company's "trusted third party," in accordance with its Secreta Monita.
That "trusted third party" is the New York City-based Council on Foreign Relations.
Select Council members, many of whom are Shriner Freemasons, Knights of Malta,
Skull and Bones and Opus Dei, are "elected" or appointed to key positions of power
within the Papacy's"Holy Roman" Fourteenth Amendment American Empire.
Through this chain of command the Black Pope utilizes all scientific discoveries
of note, monopolizes those discoveries if decided upon in secret council, and then
suppresses, upon pain of death, all who would seek to give high technology to
the White Nations of Western Civilization born out of the Lord Jesus Christ's
Grand and Glorious Protestant Reformation.

Sincerely in Faith,

Brother Eric"

Oh, and one more thing, Bro. Eric, please tell me where in the Bible pre or post AV1611, do I go to find these Hollow Ice Theories. The New Age bookstores have shelves full of them -- but you obviously read your bible much closer than I -- I couldn't find them?

Javier Solana will be in Washington, D.C. May 2-3

Our 'very good friend' to be in Washington Monday and Tuesday!

Javier Solana will be in Washington on Monday. He will be meeting with Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice and her predecessor in her old job as National Security Advisor, Stephen Hadley. Additionally, he will be speaking to a House of Representatives Committee.

This will be an opportunity for Javier Solana, always the charmer, to make new American friends. He has lots of friends in the United States Senate, so this time he is concentrating on an important segment of the House of Representatives. I hope in listening that they don't get lulled to sleep over the most important item on his agenda -- that the EU is about to start allowing sale of arms to China.

Javier Solana has these ways about him. He sort of seems like:

  • The most comfortable pair of shoes in the closet
  • Everybody's favorite professor (he did used to be one, you know)
  • Everybody's favorite uncle.
  • Completely harmless (Joan Veon once told me she interviewed him in his NATO capacity and this is how he then seemed to her.)
  • Non-threatening, even affable

Nevertheless, there are incredible things that come both from Solana's pen (or is it word processor?) and from his mouth. In 1999 he came to the United States to accept a Christian Herter Foreign Policy Award. In that speech he mocked George Washington's advice to the USA to "avoid entangling foreign alliances." "Why those entangling foreign alliances are good for you," said Solana. It takes a lot of cheek to come to a country and mock its national items. It appears that Solana has that type of cheek, but he says it with such good natured charm, that the audacity of what was just uttered appears to have escaped the usual scathing criticisms of the press corps -- it usually is not reported -- one has to read the speech to catch it.

At any rate, I wish I could be an invisible fly on a Washington wall next week! I hope our Congressmen, Secretary of State, our National Security Advisor and the person the latter two report to don't give away too much of the store in the give and take of next week's 'diplomacy.'

I will, as always, appreciate your comments. Enjoy your Saturday night!

Signs of the Times

SCHOOL PROBLEMS - THEN AND NOW

I've had a couple of busy days in court. I have had a mountain of emailings to answer from the online activity of the past few days. The person who sent me the VATICAN ASSASSINS book was strongly offended by my critical analysis of it. He wrote me saying in a near threatening manner, "your days are numbered." I wrote him back saying that indeed my days were numbered as were the very hairs on my head -- by my Maker. Nothing could happen to me until it was God's time that such occur; if it was God's time, there was nothing I could do to stop it. Needless to say, there is something terribly wrong with even the spirit behind uncritical belief in the contents in what to me is an obviously bad book, if people feel they must make threats to increase its acceptance.

Then after I opened my email, I saw a Yahoo! headline telling me that the United Methodist Church had rescinded the firing of an open sexually active lesbian. Just when I thought it was safe to go back to the Methodist Church! (Shameless takeoff on "just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water . . .")

More on Eric Jon Phelps a/k/a Eric Jon Felps

ERIC JON PHELPS AND HIS BOOK, VATICAN ASSASSINS -- IT CALLS FOR MASS EXTERMINATIONS!

What you are about read will hopefully shock you as much as it has shocked me. One of our readers did an internet search to see where Eric Jon Phelps book was landing. He was speaking in Israel -- that in and of itself was a shocker because if anybody would bother to read his book carefully in his own words, they would see that the very creation of Israel and its 6 Day War Victory were all machinations of the Jesuits, per Phelps. I was, however, unprepared for how very evil was the company of those using this Phelps (sometimes referred to in Luciferic circles) as Felps book. One of the very darkest sides of the New Age Movement is the Crowleyites and the Church of Process of the Final Judgment. Scientology devotees helped form that "church" and the church had 3 divisions: The Luciferians, the Jehovahists, and the Satanists. Phelps material turned up well synthesized and highly praised on the most evil site, I have ever viewed. Because the New Agers consistently play a successful game of "Now you see us, now you don't" in addition to the game I told you about of "watch the fundamentalists run", I have taken the pains to save the entire site to an Adobe Acrobat 7.0 file. This is what you call a pdf file.

This is the Eric Jon Phelps excerpt from the Lucifera book of that cult:

This is an accurate summary of Phelps work and if you go to that site, it is on page 34 of some of the strangest material you will hopefully ever view:

This is a 700 page richly illustrated title that adds to Malachi Martin’s accusations of Satanic ritualism in the Vatican, the accusations of the Vatican’s role in the Illuminati, assassinations, Usury and collaboration with the world’s most evil Capitalist cultists. Adam Weishaupt, for example, the founder of the Bavarian Illuminati was brought up by Jesuits and was also a Freemason. Phelps argues that the Vatican is behind a long history of assassination and the mystery cultism of secret societies, that would put the CIA narco-terrorists to shame. The Vatican, no matter how small the land that it takes up, is a ‘country’ with its own laws, its own police force and its own military intelligence through its secret societies. This is the Devil’s Army. And all these things, these Aryan religious hypocrites and their puppets do in the name of a Jewish Communist. Felps alleges that under the banner of the Cross of the Knights of Malta, the Vatican has its own Masonic style terrorist organisation. It is this Cross that according to Masonic author Byrne’s street maps of Paris, shows up in the street plans of Paris and in other the Templar cities, and the points of the Cross are places of importance to the cultists and tunnelers. The Vatican Mafia have real power among the Usuryists and Illuminated Masters of the world, and they are simply another corrupt MI6, CIA or Mossad, but in the name of Yeshiva, a Jewish Communist. It is also possible that the Satanists of the Vatican have access to Light technology. It must be made clear that these Satanists have absolutely nothing to do with Yeshiva or with the Communism and anti-propertyism of Yeshiva; on the contrary, these demons are hard core Usuryists and hypocrites, and they must be subjected to the same global Holocaust that their Nazi allies attempted to carry out against the Communists and Jews. The Revolution will not end until the last priest sheds blood from his neck and this is what must occur to all Usuryist collaborators and this is the Templar's method
http://www.luciferia.tv/2seal.htm (34 of 117)4/27/2005 9:18:33 AM

Did you read that carefully? He is calling for a global holocaust against Catholics! And if we are publicly praising that book, how much would that advance the obvious global war against fundamentalism -- remember one of Javier Solana's original Barcelona Conference objectives was to "battle religious fundamentalism, worldwide." Just as Jim Jones was a hard core New Ager, as soon as his kool-aid party took place, the New Agers sought to re-Christen him as a "fundamentalist." He was a fundamentalist, alright! A fundamentalist New Ager!

I had angry letters about my stance on Phelps yesterday. I also had encouraging letters. If you go look at the site, make sure your children are not present and please pray for divine protection before you do. This is easily one of the most diabolical things I have ever seen.

It is frightening how many good Christians started to be sucked into this game. I pray that the Restrainer will let them go no further! By the way, Phelps' book uses certain Eustace Mullins' books as sources. Mullins' book THE WORLD ORDER concludes by saying that the makers of the world order will be vanquished and the people will go on to build a new golden age. Mullins was referring in that book to the Jews. An amazing number of people bought into this because the thought the book was a manifesto against a New World Order rather than a recipe for the very ugliest of ones. Jews, Christians, and Moslems are targets of the New Age schemers. Mullins primarily targeted Jews in his THE WORLD ORDER. Phelps primary targets Catholics in his VATICAN ASSASSINS.

Folks, that's New Age Movement in just two more of its ugly forms. Lets not buy into those lies. I will be writing more on this later and in the meantime will appreciate your comments.

UN nominee Bolton's accuser is a New Age activist

IF THE NEW AGERS ARE THAT MUCH AGAINST HIM, HE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!

I have never met, to the best of my recollection, John Bolton. I know relatively little about the controversy surrounding him. As I said in previous columns, for various reasons, I'm hardly the biggest of George W. Bush fans. I've not met Cliff Kincaid face to face, either. However, we have chatted frequently -- online, on the radio, and by telephone. I respect Cliff Kincaid highly as a journalist and as apolitical analyst. I value his judgment. We don't always agree, but very often we do.

Needless to say, having written the first major critical book on the subject, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow: The New Age Movement and our Coming Age of Barbarism, I do pay attention to the New Agers, their agendas, and their on-going vendetta against Monotheistic religion -- Jews, Christians -- both Catholic and Protestant, and even Moslems (except for the Sufis whom they rightfully number as their own). Not always, but most of the time when a New Ager is fervently against something or somebody, it is because they are perceived as an obstacle to implementation of the full agenda -- the implementation they figure has been overdue since at least 1982.

One of my most faithful readers who is also a highly talented researcher, emailed me a piece this morning about Lynne D. Finney. She is the lady who has made lots of headlines the last two days with accusations about Mr. Bolton allegedly harrassing her on a job in the early 1980s.

It appears that she was then and continues to be a New Age Movement activist, complete with "instruction by Tibetan monks", a guru named "Master Nome" and herself gives seminars on memory recovery using hypnosis. For these, she charges $90 per hour.

There have been extraordinary media attacks as of late on anything that smacks of evangelicalism and religious orthodoxy. Evangelicals and conservative Catholics, were dangerous, per the media, for having opposed the 'humane' starvation of the late Terri Schiavo. Even Hillary Clinton caught it on NBC this morning for daring to invoke the name of Jesus. Evangelicals, says the media, are entirely too powerful. Now, even Democrats are beginning to believe they must respect their beliefs.

Strangely, however, there has been media silence on New Age beliefs and their all powerful -- even documentably dangerous -- effect on both litigation and legislation. The Schiavo attorney, George Felos, who fought so desperately for the ordered judicial murder by starvation death of Terri was motivated by his own beliefs in meditation and 'telepathic communication.' While aggressively trashing Christian beliefs and outing those in government who might still have even a modicum left of them, he shamelessly and aggressively proselytizes his own. Nary a word from the ACLU!

I had no opinions on the Bolton situation until I read that such a deeply grounded New Ager as Lynne Finney sought Mr. Bolton's political hide. But now, I am starting to believe that if the New Agers so desperately don't want him at the United Nations, perhaps he is exactly the type of person who should be there -- particularly at this time when the New Agers claim that their new 'Christ' is about to make full 'emergence.' Just as Christian support is a reverse indicator for the New Agers, so is New Age opposition a reverse indicator for me!

I'm interested in your point of view. Have a great and productive day. Maranatha!

UPDATED !!! Eric Jon Phelps and his book - I still recognize NEW AGE when I see it!

Note from Constance: Since writing this column, I came to my office where I have the Eric Jon Phelps book, Vatican Assassins: "Wounded in the House of My Friends" on my desk. This is what the author says:

"The author would like to acknowledge The Spectrum newspaper for having the courage to break this story when no one else would so so. Phone 877-280-2866, W.ebaddress. www.TheSpectrumNews.org.

Well, I hopped over there and to call it both neo-nazi and New Age are rather studied understatements. Particularly check out their "wisdom books" which include offerings by Eustace Mullins -- the most evil combination of deliberate New Age and Jew baiting I can possibly think of. Offered is Mullins' A WRIT FOR MARTYRS. That book details his close connection with the Bollingen Foundation people -- An Olga Froebe Kapteyn - Alice Ann Bailey - Mellon fortune combination. Mullins was following me around in the 1980s telling people he had more information on the New Age Movement than me -- he sure did -- from inside! Mullins claims to be a protege' of Ezra Pound, a prominent Theosophist turned fascist who made radio broadcasts for Hitler and Mussolini in the 1940s.

Folks, we need far better discernment than somehow it appears we've getting. Eric Phelps book on its very face is bad. Immediately on the credits page appears: "Category: "History/Non-Fiction/New Age". They told you it was New Age! But because this book was Catholic bashing, you all took it at gospel. Let's remember the biblical warnings that the deception would be enough to deceive even the elect. Sometimes a spirit of self-righteousness can blind us just as effectively as going to see Ramtha the 35,000 year old man!

THE ORIGINAL STORY

I have had three posts on my column on ABC and NBC heresies yesterday: ABC is shorthand for "Anything but Catholic" and NBC is shorthand for "Nothing but Catholic." I was told to go view the website of one Eric John Phelps.

Well, lucky for all you viewers, I was sent my very own copy of his book VATICAN ASSASSINS:. Wounded In The House Of My Friends -- complete with CD Rom. I did take a couple of hours of otherwise good billable time to go through it. I saw enough to tell you definitively, the book is a New Age book with a New Age agenda. What makes me say that?

I will devote more time to that book later, but for openers, it was freely employing some of the world's most evil resources, quoting them as gospel. What was employed?

1. ISIS UNVEILED by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Blavatsky once wrote a letter to her sister saying, "I am writing Isis, rather Isis is writing me."

2. OCCULT THEOCRASY by Lady Jane Queensborough. That book is a shameless attack on two out of three targets of the New Age Movement -- Jews and Christians. Lady Jane Queensborough meets head on, one major test of anti-Christ: A Denial of God the Father, per 1 John 2:22 (who is a liar, but he who denies Jesus is the Christ, he is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son). Lady Jane Queensborough in the very clearest of terms denies the father. She writes that the Jehovah of the Jews is not even worthy to be compared to Ahura Mazda of the Zoroastrians or Brahma of the Hindus!

I say, Lady Jane Queensborough is not even worthy to wrap your garbage in, let alone cite as solid historical and theological evidence! I own the book. I bought it at the local New Age bookstore in 1981. That was where the book belonged! So many Catholic and Jew bashing books buy into its thesis, hook, line and sinker, without bothering to see where the author was really coming from. Ditto with the works of Nesta Webster who freely confessed her own belief in reincarnation.

And, if you are going to accept Blavatsky as gospel, you have accepted naked the very devil himself. Blavatsky was the foundress of the Theosophical Society, the mothership of the New Age Movement. Her first magazine was called Lucifer!

'Nuf said, I am beginning to think that maybe Peter LeMesurier, the New Age writer was correct when he wrote that all they would have to do was turn the massed forces of the New Age Movement against each other.

I will be writing more on this later.

Of Catholic Bashing and of Protestant Bashing - What Constance Thinks!

This is a very short post, but something on my mind given the vehemence of some of the anti-Ratzinger posts. I wrote it to reply to a reader, but since it was an anonymous comment, I could not answer. So here is what I think for everybody and I will duck while the flak flies!

I believe personally that there are two enormous heresies floating about out there:

1. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be a member of the ABC Church and thou shalt be saved.
2. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be a member of the NBC Church and thou shalt be saved.

The first heresy is a Protestant one.
The second heresy is a Catholic one.

The truth is BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS LORD AND IF YOU CONFESS HIM WITH YOUR MOUTH, YOU SHALT BE SAVED.

Oh, and what do the acronyms ABC and NBC mean?

ABC=ANYTHING BUT CATHOLIC

NBC=NOTHING BUT CATHOLIC

Let's bear in mind at all times the New Age strategy -- to pit Old Agers against Old Agers! The test of anti-Christ was a denial that Jesus was the Christ and that Jesus Christ had come in the flesh. It was not an alleged overemphasis on Jesus mother or anything else. Some Catholics meet those tests, some don't. Some Protestants meet those tests, some don't. And certainly, we grafted in branches, whether Catholic or Protestant, were not to 'boast against the branches' (the Jews). Don't blame me. St. Paul wrote it in Romans Chapter 2; John wrote it in his epistles. At least for now, that's what Constance thinks. You are certainly entitled to your own opinions, although I think I agree with the former Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI -- there are not multiple truths. Seeing through glass darkly as we do, we may not know perfect truth -- probably none of us do, but to paraphrase the Apostle Paul, "if we all bite and devour one another" won't the New Agers and SqueakBoxes of this world have a field day!

The Wicked Wikipedians -- What they are saying and doing today

Just a little Sunday afternoon diversion in case you wondered what the wicked Wikipedians are up to. We all know our "friend" SqueakBox who likes to come over here and post and has his own blogs:

www.squeakboxisalwaysright.blogspot.com
www.squeakboxisneverwrong.blogspot.com

These guys (provided there is more than one of them and provided that they are truthful, which is probably debatable) are saying some interesting things. First of all, Hierarchypedia (David?) has claimed that he is a member in good standing of the Bohemian Grove -- Hierarchypedia is either SqueakBox's sockpuppet, or they are VERY GOOD FRIENDS?? At any rate, since these fine guys are into 'illumination,' I thought I would shed a little more light on them than they sought by cut and pasting their online boastings about how they are getting the best of Yours Truly by not enticing her fully into their wicked wikipedia process -- is this something like saying "rubber baby buggy bumpers" 5 times real fast, or "how many chips could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck chips?"

"You could try Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Cumbey; someone wanted to take it to arbcom a week back but then withdrew, and since then it is off the burner. In someone ways Cumbey is a pretty harmless nut. She can't be bothered to learn how to use the system, hence she never looked at your and my contribs, from which I am sure anyone could work out you are not my sockpuppet (if you made your first edit before 19/10/04 I would strictly be your sockpuppet) but it also means she doesn't know how to set up an Rfc herself alleging that you are my sockpuppet, without which noone will listen to her. Interestingly even if you were my sockpuppet that would have been okay by wikipedia rules before today because our paths have not crossed and I could not be accused of using you to unjustly affect wikipedia process. The idea that i would use you as a sockpuppet to influence a vote that doesn't need influencing in the keep direction (Constance E. Cumbey) is ridicuklous. I would describe Cumbey as a very lazy user who will never be capable of anything much, and that she just has to be tolerated. But if you want to take it to arbcom by all means have a go! --SqueakBox 22:02, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

The following is from Hierarchypedia's user page:

> I removed some of the names you put up as Bohemian Club members. They were only atendees of > Bohemian Grove (members of their respective camps). Not everyone who goes to Bohemian Grove is > a member of the club. --Hierarchypedia 13:11, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Could you provide a source for your claims?
In order to become a member of a camp, you have to be a member of the club, which owns the grove. You can be a guest to the encampment, but you do not become a member of a camp by becoming a guest.
My source of the members is the membership roster that is distributed among members only of which I am one. For example, Colin Powell is a Non-Resident member of the club, and is a member of the Mandalay Camp. Donald Rumsfeld and Walter Cronkite are also Non-Resident members of the club, while George H.W. Bush is an Honorary Member, while Robert Weir is a Professional Member. All four are members of the Hillbillies Camp. The late Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon were members of the Caveman Camp, and both were long-time members of the club.

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing? The 'Evangelical' Struggle to keep you from the truth

Equipping the Saints? Or Disarming them? You be the judge!


There have been enormous efforts and huge sums of money spent to keep the Christian world from knowing the size and extent of the New Age Movement and its growing powers. I have kept silent most of the time on most of what I know not because I wanted to keep people from the truth, but because of Jesus' clear warnings that the wheat and the tares would grow together until the time of the end and to do nothing about the tares because in pulling up the tares, one might also harm the wheat. It is only when I see the wheat itself harmed that I speak out. I believe for people to now know what is coming, that they know how insidious this battle has been.

When I started my work against the New Age Movement in 1981, I thought it would be very simple -- Christian vs. Lions. It wasn't quite that easy. Some of who I believed were US were either apathetic or THEM. Some of THEM repented and became staunchly US. Some of the lengths gone to suppress -- even blackball me and my work -- were truly amazing. A Seattle, Washington Christian (Logos Bookstore) was selling many New Age books on its shelves. My book, THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW, then a #1 best seller on the Christian best seller list, was sold under the counter. It was packaged in a plain brown paper wrapper, stapled shut with a critical article on my work from Christianity Today inside. Matthew Fox authored (a Catholic apostate theologian, later removed by the new pope as Cardinal Ratzinger acting in his position as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) books were sold very openly.

I was asked to participate in a conference for Evangelical Ministries to New Religions at El Toro, California in December 1983. This was a time immediately after my father's death and I have detailed some of this in my second book, A PLANNED DECEPTION. In El Toro, I was asked to present my proofs on the existence of the New Age Movement. The panel behind me who was to comment on my work included CRI's Eliot Miller; Cornerstone Magazine's Eric Pement; Brooke Alexander of Spiritual Counterfeits Project; and Dave Hunt, who I then believed to be my ally.

In my main talk, I detailed the inroads Jeremy Rifkin had made in evangelizing evangelicals to the environmental paradigm shift of the New Age Movement. The question and answer period was truly amazing. I had no idea what would be thrown at me. I had packed one large book bag and it accompanied me that evening. Time after time I was accused both by members of the panel and members of the inquisitorial audience of taking the New Agers out of context. I would say, "well, let's read it together." I would pull the exact book from my briefcase. That I had the proper books with me to defeat their claims of misquoting can only be attributed to either extreme luck or divine intervention. It was statistically impossible given a library of my size to have had it happen accidentally. Of course, I believe it to be the latter. I obviously had help!

The next major thrust against me was what I term the "Denver Disinformation Conference" which took place at the Denver Seminary on March 14-15, 1985 in Denver, Colorado. I was not invited. A few days before, a cult research by the first name of Hugh called me. He said he had called to register, left his credit card number with Dr. Gordon Lewis' secretary at the Denver Seminary. The Denver Seminary is a Conservative Baptist institution. Dr. Lewis was coordinating the conference. Dr. Vernon Grounds was the Chancellor. People from that seminary were to play a major role in a unity conference with New Age leaders in conjunction with Doug Coe in 1987, but this was 1985.

At any rate, Hugh, my caller, said that he asked the registrar, Dr. Lewis' secretary a natural question, given that this was the first recognition in the Evangelical world that the New Age Movement even existed outside of the imagination of yours truly. "Would Constance Cumbey be there?" He said that she replied as follows: "This conference was called on account of Constance Cumbey" and we will have security guards present, just in case she decides to show up."

This was hard for me to take. I started crying. I said, "this time they've gone to a new low." My caller said, "you know, you could go anyway." I said, " no, I practiced law long enough to know that if they would go to those lengths, they would go even lower. They would trump a disturbance and blame me for it. They would like nothing better than for me to be sitting in a Denver jail -- I'm not going to give them the satisfaction."

God's timing is very interesting. I have never had anything like this happen without getting confirmation shortly thereafter. The very next morning I had a phone call from a man identifying himself as a producer for a Denver professor who had a popular religion oriented talk show on Denver radio each and every Sunday morning. He said that they had planned to give the time for the Sunday after the conference to a participant -- hopefully Ronald Enroth. He went on to say, that he had the professor had been talking and wondered out loud why at last there was an Evangelical conference on the existence of something that had been long denied -- and that the most recognized Evangelical figure on the subject was not a part of the conference. I recounted something unpleasant that had happened to me concerning Ronald Enroth. Then I told him what I had just heard the night before -- about the security guards.

"Why I know the person in charge of security," exclaimed the producer. His name is Mark Roggeman and he's a local policeman. Let's get him in on this conversation." Mark Roggeman joined the conversation in what became a three way conference call. He told me a most amazing story. Mark Roggeman was a Denver policeman who then and now was working on cult related issues. He is also a Christian. He said he was thrilled that after three years of denial, that finally there was Evangelical recognition of a New Age Movement problem. He heard they were seeking a Security Director and applied for the job. He said that upon hiring he was summoned into Gordon Lewis office and told his first, foremost and primary responsibility was to escort Constance Cumbey off the grounds, should she show up. Mark told me he said to Lewis, "that's how the cults operate." Lewis told him, "you want the job, that's the condition." Roggeman told me he decided to stick around and see what else they had up their collective sleeves.

"What else" included Dr. Gordon Melton, a rabid New Age follower in nearly all of its forms, including vampirism and Ramtha the 35,000 year old man deliver a paper, "A Christian Response to the Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow." He was wearing an ankh and selling his paper promoting astrology on the grounds.

I was offered radio time -- two national interviews -- on the Marlin Maddoux Show on the two days immediately preceding the conference. I gave the doings and their security guards more free advertising than they ever expected. I understand they ran around red faced and said it had not happend -- but it clearly happened.

I say all of this now because Gretchen Passantino published prominently on the web, a paper on urban legends. She includes as one "urban legend" the security guard story. I'm sorry to say it but Gretchen Passantino was close enough to the action on this gang to know better. It is bluntly -- a lie!

The time I met and talked with Barbara Bush - bathing suit to bathing suit

The time I met and talked with Barbara Bush face to face and bathing suit to bathing suit!

Corrected as to dimensions of Detroit Renaissance Center, November 30, 2005

I've had some curious encounters in my lifetime -- some very unexpected. I guess its probably no secret that apart from SOME of the life issues of the current president, I'm not his greatest fan. I was disturbed by his lack of sensitivity on some capital cases while he was governor of Texas. (However, I do agree with him on abortion and euthanasia issues!) I frankly thought his brother, Jeb, was the brighter of the two and liked his hands-on in the Florida disasters last year. I was most disturbed when George Bush said that he wasn't worried about executing innocent people -- that this had never happened in Texas! Well, it happened about everywhere else, and the DNA innocence projects revealed that there were approximately 13 people sitting on death row in Illinois who were completely innocent. For that reason, Governor Ryan of that state suspended the death penalty until reliable controls were put in place. I am always alarmed when somebody shoots from the hip and I've suspected, perhaps rightly, perhaps wrongly, that this was the case with our present national administration.

Furthermore, I haven't been exactly thrilled about its position on Iraq. The "Shock and Awe" campaign was a horrific one to set and I would certainly hate to have this global precedent turned on the USA.

However, I must confess that I do like the President's mother who also happens to be the wife of a former president and the mother of Florida's Jeb Bush. I had the unexpected honor of meeting her once under very unusual circumstances. Here's what happened.

The year was 1980. My downtown Detroit law office was in the Renaissance Center. It was a four tower, 71 story massive complex attached to the Westin Hotel, with a rotating restaurant at the top. The complex featured theatres, shops, indoor hanging gardens, a health club, and a heated swimming pool. We lived downtown and most of my law practice as a young lawyer was downtown. It was then a good time to be in Detroit.

My clients didn't appreciate the facility as much as I enjoyed it. It was and remains difficult to navigate on foot -- they perceived it as some type of a big moat to cross to reach me. But at this time of my life which was stressful for reasons I am about to explain, it was good for me and my family.

My husband Barry suffered a traumatic accident in the fall of 1979. Retrieving his briefcase from the trunk of his Monte Carlo Chevrolet vehicle, the car behind his car was struck by new driver. She had just bought the car from a junk dealer. She had only the minimal Michigan insurance of $20,000 limits. This is, needless to say, is nothing for a life-changing disaster of this magnitude. It sent Barry's car into the car ahead and Barry was trapped in between. One leg was immediately severed at the scene. He was in surgery 7 hours that day and they tried to save the other leg. Nevertheless, it had to be removed 11 days later because of massive life threatening infection. He was now a double above-the-knee amputee. Between hospitalization and rehabilitation institute therapy, Barry was medically institutionalized for six months. In early April, 1980, the doctors suggested that as a reacclimation to medical discharge, that Barry take a day at home. We, of course, needed to move from our former downtown apartment to a building with an elevator. That hadn't happened yet. I did have my health club membership in the Renaissance Center, however, with my own permanent assigned locker. We had family privileges. Beverages and sandwiches were served. When we were done exercising, we could go to my office for Barry to see it (I had located there from another downtown office after the accident) and then take in a family movie before returning Barry to the Rehab Center.

We arrived at the health club. I was handed my usual towel and went into the ladies' locker room. The club was relatively empty. There was a very pretty girl inside who was badly sunburned. I looked at her and said, "oohh, where did you get that burn?" The girl answered, "in Houston." I said, "you need to get something like aloe vera on it immediately." I was recalling a bad case of sun poisoning I once brought home from the Bahamas a few years earlier. I went to my locker. At that point, a bathing suited woman came to me and asked if I could please show her how to set the sauna. I set the sauna. I finished my own change of clothing and headed for the sauna myself.

As I entered the sauna, the woman said, "Hello." I responded, "hello." "Where are you from?", she asked. "Right here, where are you from?", I responded. "Houston," was her answer. "Oh, are you here attending the electronic manufacturers convention," I asked, thinking of Texas Instruments and the notice of events for the day posted in the hotel lobby. "No, I'm here campaigning," she said. "I'm Barbara Bush and my husband George Bush is running for President. This is our daughter, Dorothy," she said, referring to the pretty sunburned blonde next to her.

We talked as if we had known each other all our lives. She said she had noticed Barry when she was coming in. She told me she had a sauna in her Houston home and missed not having one in Washington. She was, quite honestly, very refreshing by the standards of the many, many political people I had known in my adult life. After I broke to go swimming, I was sought out by the journalist Susan King who had since came to the pool and was likewise enjoying the tepid waters. Susan told me that Barbara Bush told her she had met a woman lawyer who had impressed her. Barbara Bush had impressed me.

I was not a bit surprised to hear a few years later that after George Bush lost his re-election to the presidency in 1992, that after they returned to Houston, she discharged her personal Secret Service agent, bought a Buick, and went wherever she personally wanted to go in Houston. She struck me as that type of person.

At any rate, this is not a heavy blog today. It is just something interesting that happened to me with a person I accidentally met who was very nice to me at a personally trying time in my own life. I still remember her fondly for it -- I just sort of wish it had been her other son who was president. Oh well!

That's it for today. My back stories, many of which in my biased mind have value, are available to you. Just type on archives which for a few more days are only "April."

Have a great day!

Happy Earth Day - NOT!

NOW THAT EARTH'S DAY HERE, WHAT I WROTE ABOUT IT A FEW DAYS AGO, WITH A FEW MINOR ADDITIONS!

Of 'Earth Day', 'Deep Ecology', and assorted forms of False Knowledge

I have substantially survived the week -- although cash flow matches the economy -- very slow! I wrote the following last Saturday, but since "Earth Day" is today, it is worthy of reprint, at least in my opinion.

April 22, comes one of my least favorite holidays, 'Earth Day.' For the last 35 years, it has given me the creeps. I was both a student at Michigan State University and working for the Michigan House of Representatives as a speechwriter and "Legislative Analyst" when the first Earth Day was 'celebrated'. I will confess to you I did not like the Vietnam War -- most people in my generation did not, although we had lots of empathy for those in our age group drafted to fight in that 'conflict.' I had no trouble marching against that war. I also had no trouble marching for civil rights. I will confess to you now that I was an energetic young activist. I still treasure so many of the friendships and acquaintances I made in that era, including even Rosa Parks herself. I was running a mayoral campaign in Highland Park, Michigan in 1975 -- a successful campaign to unseat a sitting mayor. While sitting in a church service that we descended upon in what I now will concede was a shameless effort to gain votes for our side, I felt something tugging on the hem of my dress. I looked and there was Rosa Parks with thread and needle. She had noticed my hem was loose and she was in her usual unassuming manner, repairing same. About 8 years later, I was to meet Tony and Sue Liuzzo. Tony is the son of slain civil rights crusader, Viola Liuzzo. Although Viola Liuzzo turned Unitarian in her quest, Tony and Sue now share my traditional Christian beliefs. They remain close personal friends.However much I passionately participated in the first two events, as I did in the Eugene McCarthy presidential campaign of 1968, I could not and would not participate in the first Earth Day, even though so much of the crowd in the various peace and civil rights movements were there. I sat in my cubicle in the Speaker's Staff headquarters of the House of Representatives section of the Michigan State Capitol and literally shivered with creeps as I read the announcements for the day. I bought the books for research, but I frankly instinctively disliked all I was hearing. I could not tell you why until 1981, the year I first discovered the New Age Movement. Perusing literature of popular groups of the Movement starting with the Sierra Club and moving through Friends of the Earth and the scare projections of the Club of Rome, I had what the New Agers would probably label an "aha moment" and others might call "an epiphany." My thoughts went something like this:"They are talking about increasing living space, population reduction, mandatory abortion, licensing people to have children, encouraged and even forced sterilizations, terminating life supports -- My God -- that is what the Nazis were all about! So many nice people into this -- somebody's got to warn them." When I discovered the esoteric underpinnings of the movement which were almost universally talking about (a) a new 'messiah' coming; and (b) recognition of Lucifer as a benevolent planetary force (Theosophical Society; Lucis Trust; Benjamin Creme, et al ad nauseum), I knew that I was facing something for which I could not conscientiously keep silent. I remember saying to myself about the probable consequences for speaking out "professional suicide; political suicide"! But speak out I did.I was surprised over the years to see that much of my support came from places where I often least expected it and so much of my opposition came also from places where I least expected it. I will write more about that in future blogs, but for now1. I will not be celebrating Earth Day -- not this year -- not any year.2. I recommend you take steps to obtain a read a book by Bruce S. Thornton. I read significant portions of it today on a subscription service I employ, Questia. com. I plan to track the book down on Amazon.com and order same as soon as possible! Publication information is:Book Title: Plagues of the Mind: The New Epidemic of False Knowledge. Contributors: Bruce S. Thornton - author. Publisher: ISI Books. Place of Publication: Wilmington, DE. Publication Year: 1999. "I frankly found the book tracking down sources where Javier Solana's mother was quoted. I rather doubt if Mr. Thornton caught her own 'false knowledge' which was an open profession of OSHO/Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh as her 'teacher.' He quoted her in a context of how false beliefs get started and are perpetuated. He skillfully identified so many, including the myths behind Earth Day, and the alleged 'civility' (NOT) of pre-Christian cultures

For an invaluable historic perspective on Earth Day, read Stephen Levy's THE UNICORN'S SECRET: MURDER IN THE AGE OF AQUARIUS. It will give you the less stressed more seamy background of one of its major founders, Ira Einhorn of Philadelphia.

Our "European Allies"

Our "European Allies" -- The World According to Javier Solana


Rather than have the earlier post disappear into the archives where they are relatively hidden, I decided to build upon my earlier one today and rename it. There are lots of surprises from Javier Solana this week. He has been complaining publicly about American neo-conservatives supposedly making his drive for the New EU constitution difficult.

Just a sudden thought, wondering out loud after reading the following:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/04/20/opinion/edeu.html

" . . . Javier Solana, the head of foreign policy in the EU, told French students that "some American neoconservatives" are hostile to the constitution because it marked "a new rise in Europe's power."

In another surprise move, Solana even swallowed his secular, anti-clerical pride and issued public congratulations to the new Pope Benedict XVI, the former Cardinal Ratzinger, a man Solana would most likely define as thinking in "binary terms." Maybe the "High Representative" was stung by criticism about talking about "the disappearance" of the new pope's predecessor. And finally, he announced, per Reuters News Service, that most definitely the EU is going to lift its arms embargo on China.

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/B706304.htm



In regards to Solana's complaints about US "neoconservatives" I wonder why Solana didn't tell the audience that many were not as nearly as worried about the Europeans having a single constitution as they were the fact that it put most of the power eggs in one basket -- and Solana's basket, at that?

But then, he has to blame somebody (other than himself), doesn't he? I predict, he will play another successful game of 'trust me.' I further predict, based on the Daniel prophecies (gasp!), that the EU Constitutional ratification may well go down as a NOT done deal.

The prophecy which is found in Daniel 2:42-43) -- referring to the ten toes "they shall not cleave one to another"). But they do, prophetically, end up handing over their power to the beast figure, whoever it ends up being. You bible scholars out there, look up Revelation 17:11-17). This is done to equalize those ten kings with another world power. It could well be the USA.

Is this how it will come down? Is Solana the one? Dunno -- time and events will tell, but again, he could be an educated guess.

Late for my day -- you have a good one!

Said Solana, "Those Entangling Foreign Alliances are Good for you!"

Said Solana, "Those Entangling Foreign Alliances are Good for you!"

I am digressing this evening to research I did on Javier Solana starting on March 21, 1999.


"Why, those entangling foregn alliances are good for you!" exclaimed Javier Solana in accepting a 1999 Christian Herter Foreign Policy Award,in Boston, Massachusetts. Solana was referring, of course, to George Washington's Farewell Message to Americans. It takes a lot of "cheek" to come into a country and mock its national icons. It was no small demonstration of his self-confidence. Was there a basis in fact for it?

In the same speech, Solana confided that he had since January 30, 1999, exclusive authority to make military decisions for NATO, including, but not limited whether to bomb or not. "I don't intend to exercise it without checking in with the others, but nevertheless, the power is mine and mine alone," said he.

Solana indeed had an unusual grant of power from NATO. Usually the Secretary General of NATO plays a ministerial role, taking direction from its constituent members and then passing along that direction to the mlitary operatives.

Said Solana, "Those Entangling Foreign Alliances are Good for you!"

Madeline Albright noted on her State Department home page, "Solana has the power and has had it since January 30th [1999]. We are speaking with one voice through Javier Solana."

Much of my research has been done the "poor man's way" -- via television and the internet. Fortunately, if used appropriately, both give a much more accurate window on the world. On Sunday, March 21, 1999, I awakened with "the mother of all migraines." I planned to dress for church, but it was clear I was going nowhere in that condition. As I was nursing my headache, waiting for the Vanquish (my favorite headache remedy) to kick in, my husband switched on our bedroom TV to "Sunday Morning," the CBS news program that airs weekly from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Midway through the program, there was an unusual interruption: "We interrupt this program to bring you an important announcement," said the show's host. "Javier Solana, the Secretary General of NATO has just announced that the bombing of Yugoslavia may start as soon as the next few hours."

As soon as the headache sufficiently lifted, I did not finish dressing; I did not go to Church. Instead, I went downstairs to my basement computer and learned that all NATO nations were unanimously speaking with one empowered voice of their Secretary General. The NATO tail was literally wagging the dog!

I stayed in all that Sunday. That night, March 21, 1999, when millions were in church for Sunday night services, President Clinton came on national television. He talked about the incipient bombings. I was waiting for him to say something to the effect that "this is what WE have decided to do," . . . "this is what WE have decided would be in the best interests of the GLOBAL COMMUNITY" or some such phraseology. Those words were never used. Instead he sad, I AGREE WTH JAVIER SOLANA'S DECISION TO DO THIS." Interestingly, few Americans, including the more sophisticated media ever bothered to say, "WHO'S JAVIER SOLANA?!!"

Clinton also made several pointed references in that speech saying that he felt it terrible that the Yugoslavians were doing whatever they were supposed to have been doing "for religious reasons."

Kosovo was clearly the religious center of the Serbian Orthodox Church. It was lost to Turkish Moslem interests for many centuries. Not until the WW I era, was it regained by the Orthodox Serbs. It is sacred ground to the Serbs -- the equivalent of Jerusalem to the Jews -- their long-lost spiritual homeland.

Interestingly, the focus for condemnation of claimed Serbian behavior was religious. President Clinton repeatedly said, "It's horrible that they are doing this for religious purposes."

Even more interesting shedding, doubt on the entire basis for USA engagement, are Yossef Bodansky's well-documented claims in his book, BIN LADEN: THE MAN WHO DECLARED WAR ON AMERICA. He wrote therein part of Bin Laden’s rage against the USA was for this bombing of Kosovo. The Islamic residents saw it as an attempt by the USA to get to the Caspian oil fields – using the Kosovo protection issue as a ruse. This means in effect it was a win-win for Europe and a lose-lose for the USA in the EU/Barcelona Process drive to get the United States out of the Mediterranean.

I remember that bombing well. I remember hearing that the pope was sending emissaries to Brussels to seek a truce between the two Easters. Reportedly, he had the concurrence of Eastern Orthodox patriarchs who would join with him in the negotiating. On Good Friday, 1999, some newspapers carried headlines of "Pope Rebuffed."

I personally saw Michigan's junior Senator Spencer Abraham at a banquet a week after Easter. I asked him, point blank, "why did we hand Solana all that power." He told me candidly he didn't understand the Yugoslavian policy himself, but he thought perhaps it was 'Bill Clinton hiding behind Javier Solana.' "Things happen like that in politics," he said. I have been around long enough to KNOW that things happen like that in politics.

What Spencer Abraham, the junior USA senator from Michigan volunteered to me next stunned me. He told me he had met Javier Solana personally. I said, "oh?" He said that he and ALL THE OTHER UNITED STATES SENATORS had been flown to Brussels to meet Javier Solana.

I must tell you, that's when I started to get a little scared. If the junior first term opposite party Senator from Michigan went in a Democratic presidency year, all must have gone and been subjected to Solana's obvious low-key charms.

Just how much power does the guy have. Why is Solana so successful at convincing people he is everybody's friend.

Just asking? Have a nice evening!
