Sūtra (Sanskrit, Devanagari सूत्र) or Sutta (Pāli), literally means a rope or thread that holds things together, and more metaphorically refers to an aphorism (or line, rule, formula), or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual. It is derived from the verbal root siv-, meaning to sew (these words, including Latin suere and English to sew, all derive from PIE *syū-). In Hinduism the 'sutras' form a school of Vedic study, related to and somewhat later than the Upanishads. They served and continue to act as grand treatises on various schools of Hindu Philosophy. They elaborate in succinct verse, sometimes esoteric, Hindu views of metaphysics, cosmogony, the human condition, moksha (liberation), and how to maintain a blissful, dharmic life, in a cosmic spin of karma, reincarnation and desire.

In Buddhism, the term "sutra" refers generally to canonical scriptures that are regarded as records of the oral teachings of Gautama Buddha. In Chinese, these are known as 經 (pinyin: jīng). These teachings are assembled in the second part of the Tripitaka which is called Sutra Pitaka. There are also some Buddhist texts, such as the Platform Sutra, that are called sutras despite being attributed to much later authors.

The Pali form of the word, sutta is used exclusively to refer to Buddhist scriptures, particularly those of the Pali Canon.

We must bury the memories we once had of "them". We all had high hopes in the beginning, but those hopes have been crushed with the reality of all he had to offer, which is sadly, nothing. We have been shown over time that tangled web that has been weaved. In the beginning I am sure most of us would have gone the distance to help do whatever we could to help with disclosure (I still would under someone with honor) but we have seen the true colors of man who is only a master in delusion.

I think that a new direction should be taken. One that truly is the essence of the very name of this thread.

Thessa said it quite nicely in another thread here today.

They have books and dvd's to sell. I think we should leave them to it.

For these reasons the Billboard Liberation Front states emphatically and for all time herein that to Advertise is to Exist. To Exist is to Advertise. Our ultimate goal is nothing short of a personal and singular Billboard for each citizen. Until that glorious day for global communications when every man, woman and child can scream at or sing to the world in 100Pt. type from their very own rooftop; until that day we will continue to do all in our power to encourage the masses to use any means possible to commandeer the existing media and to alter it to their own design.

Each time you change the Advertising message in your own mind, whether you climb up onto the board and physically change the original copy and graphics or not, each time you improve the message, you enter in to the High Priesthood of Advertisers.....

The reasons I applied for not revealing it, have to do with the responsibilities of the New Group - that being monitoring (and taking action where necessary) as we finish through our time with the Solstice Sun on the Galactic Plane...a period ending after 2016...with greatest danger between 1992 - 2012.

Hello, everybody! I have been asked a few questions in PM. One of those questions can be bridged, publicly.

I was asked a question about the New Body. It was a great question.

(Here comes the pre-emptive strike. This is the 'prompted open'; note the set-up.)

Most all of the former members of Majestic have been passing rumors back and forth concerning what the present name of the New Body may be...that is...what is the name of the group which took over after Majestic adjourned.

(Someone noted my use of the new name's body on the opening page of danburisch.info when I announced the forum shut-down; I intentionally played the first card, and voila, now I have the desired reaction. Confirmed. Other individuals on this GT have also been aware of information received concerning this subject, and the corroborative nature of the documentation. So, I 'played' this card to see if there was a reaction to 'explain' things, pre-emptively. Now the other cards will be held until a suitable moment.)

Many weeks ago, we (I confess to have been part of the rumor mill amongst the retired members ;D )

Nice one, Dan! Innoculate by "admitting" to "seeding" info/disinfo yourself! Brilliant! You can then 'own' the rumor!


thought for sure we had it. We had scrutinized the posts which occurred early-middle last year, during the "Maj v New Body" open house we held for new operatives as well as Upper Echelon for both the Yorkies and the Scots.

At last! An open admission the masonic bodies control the "upper echelon" of the power structure!

We took special time on the Yorkies Upper Stratum, passing notes back and forth via IM. Right around the same time as the Open House, a third party passed a message to me that the name of the New Body was "YORK." This party had never been wrong before, and he is (in fact) one of the people who was present so many years ago when I was recruited in the laboratory at UNLV. So...once the scrutiny occurred, and we noticed that the presumed (but not confirmed) new Lead Seated Member used the term Y1, we figured for sure we had it. At that point, I made the decision that (in the spirit of honesty) I would confirm that I knew the name, but would not reveal it. The reasons I applied for not revealing it, have to do with the responsibilities of the New Group - that being monitoring (and taking action where necessary) as we finish through our time with the Solstice Sun on the Galactic Plane...a period ending after 2016...with greatest danger between 1992 - 2012. (If I were to learn of it, for certain now, I would not reveal it publicly. In other words, my same position stands.)

Since that time, I have had the pleasure of seeing and speaking directly with the former MJ1. I came right out and confronted that individual about the name "YORK." He called the individual to whom I earlier referred (recruiter at UNLV lab) into his office and confronted him about the information. The name, at that time was "The Honourable Representation of the Cryptic York Rite" which was added 1 +1 by him, also seeing the name designator "Y1" and from that he was sure it was "YORK."

Mongrel, as well as the rest of us, also believed it was "YORK." Frankly, it made the most sense to me, because there were serious rubs against each other, and I felt that the Yorkies named it YORK to one up the Scots, who operated under Majestic.

I heard from the former MJ1 that we were wrong. When the keys (so to speak) were handed over, the former MJ1 was the only former seated Majestic member to be told the name of the new group. That day, he did not see fit to tell me.

This was the crowning moment; Like Father, Like S(i)on! (More on this momentarily).

There have also been rumors, fed by at least one active counter intelligence professional, directly created and fed in reaction to certain nonsense about the nonexistent Priory of Sion that was being bantered about on the internet, that the new name is "SION."

And are you prepared to testify to Congress that this is true? Or did you testify that you already ARE a member of that new body?

It is my view that the rumor is being fed so that people will look that direction, rather than another...whatever it may be. In other words, it's disinformation.

Interesting how you have pressed into words an entire set of suppositions, so quickly, after noting the name as it appears on the website these past few days. One mans information is another man's disinformation. (Inquiring minds want to know!)

On one hand I understand their reasoning: we have had the microphone and the press, so the earlier incorrect link between Marcia and myself and the nonexistent Priory of Sion, was an easy feed for whomever would eagerly buy anything,

Not so fast, Dan! There you go again! Just wait until we can get Congress to authorize a set of full hearings that will provide immunity to others that will testify to your TRUE relationship to the TRUE organization. In the meantime, you know I'll only endanger the source if I fell prey to the trap you set, which is the usual, claiming that all other information than yours is a hoax!

and that would be linked to the Majestic via us, because we are the ones out there fighting the fight,

Yes, closing down forums because people say things you don't like! Better salesmanship, less censorship!

and using the name Majestic. On the other hand, while I would not directly tell the public the real name,

Of course! Remember that! You've sworn an oath never to do that, so coyness is the operative ploy of the day.

I am also not going to play the disinformation game when asked directly: so I tell you in all honesty, I thought I knew but I was wrong, and it is neither YORK, nor SION...but the two of them (my recruiter and the former MJ1) could have been lying to me...and so the name could conceivably be YORK, SION, or anything else.

Ah, were it not for the disclaimer! You must've done some clever juggling for the life insurance needs of the family!

As it stands...at this moment...I have not been able to confirm the name of the New Body.

Whew! For a moment there......! At ease, then.

Dan

MAY GOD PROTECT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND HER VALIANT WARRIORS!

Remember, Mongrel...only public press releases. That's all. If the balloon goes up, remember, the enemy is listening.

...and pray for peace, brother!

Dan

Eternal Father, Strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to thee,
for those in peril on the sea.

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
and calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee,
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Hi Don. Yep, I'm just catching up now with the Iranian TV footage on BBC News24 and Sky. It seems that the video reel is stuck in a loop -- Seawoman Faye Turney must have got through 40 cigarettes in 5 minutes. And her 14 male colleagues must be bloated from eating all that grub over and over again. I mustn't joke about these things though, as these are serious times. I guess Seawoman Turney is doing what anyone would do in that situation -- telling the Iranians what they wanted to hear...or the truth.

You could be right that Blair had a hand in this, because he did mention something about “ratcheting up” the pressure on Tehran this month. I bet George swooned when Blair said that.

Uncle John here: Dan hauls up the don't tread on me flag with the snake symbolism avatar.



UJ: Are we the enemy dan is referring to? If so, dan has really gone off the deep end.

It seems all dan is trying to do here is tie hate up into a nice package and call it peace.

What about the unity dan?

We were all on the disclosure path together. Why did you leave? Who beckoned you away?

A call for a more radical approach to disclosure
by Peter Gonsalves
Fri, 12 May 2006
Today we have received this important letter...
THANKS Peter!

Introduction

As I write this my friends and my soldiers are fighting and dying in Iraq.

Fighting for lies and for oil. I have spent my whole adult life in the service of my country defending her from her enemies. But now, I believe that her biggest enemy is the secret government that resides within her.

I write this essay in the hopes that someone will read it and take it seriously. Though even as I write this I realize that most people will delete this essay and dismiss it as the ravings of a lunatic. As we approach the 60th year since Roswell I question how much closer are we to disclosure now then we were then?

In 1993, Dr. Steven Greer started the disclosure project to end UFO secrecy. However, I ask how much closer are we today to disclosure then in 1993? I am calling on the adoption of a 6-step plan to turn up the heat and bring this issue to a head. It is time to end this once and for all.

The Situation

The current situation as I see it is that Americans have no idea who Dr. Greer is or what the disclosure project is about. Moreover, this holds true for the majority of UFO researchers and projects out there.

Even though a majority of Americans believe in UFO’s, to say you have seen one is to be labeled as crazy by the very same people that say they believe in UFOs. Part of this, is that society has been conditioned to believe in a certain way.

Society has been conditioned to believe the media tells the truth, that we live in a free and open society and that the government always has our best interests at heart. Until the masses can be trained to think differently, UFO researchers are just paddling against the current going nowhere.

The Plan

The following is a 6-point plan I suggest that the UFO community should consider.

1. Organization of the various researchers\Groups. A conference should convene with every UFO researcher and group possible to develop common objectives on UFO disclosure. I know there are differences in the community on what UFO’s are or aren’t, about alien agendas and so for. But these differences should be set aside and common ground should be established.

The goal being that the bigger the organization the more power it will have. There would also be a pooling of resources which otherwise might not be enjoyed by all. The result should be an Alliance among UFO research groups for the common goal of disclosure.
This meeting should not be a public affair as there would be a need to keep government interference to a minimum.

2. Creation of Resistance Group. The conference should establish a non-violent resistance group dedicated to taking a more active stance. I say resistance group, because it needs to be the goal of this group to overthrow the influence of the secret government and to re-educate the masses to think for themselves.
This group needs to use active protesting, marches, organizing local grass roots campaigns in order to get the word out. This group would make sure it is on the evening news every night and make disclosure a topic that is talked about at the dinner table.

3. A second conference. A meeting should be set up with leaders of the different peace movements. Using evidence of the suppressing of energy technologies and the needless invasion of Iraq may persuade these groups to join the disclosure cause. Power is in Numbers. Again, use the different groups to bring these issues out into the open and on the evening news every night.

4. Covert Ops. Creation of our own covert operations force to use the black ops techniques that the governments black ops use to turn the tables on the government black ops units. We have our own experts, we know their tactics.

I reiterate, peaceful protest, but we might be able to follow agents, discover their identities, publish their identities, harass them and their family, and even lure them out to supposed crash sites to ambush them with friendly media and protestors.

How embarrassing would it be for a unit from C.A.G. to show up to what they think is a crash site only to be filmed by hidden cameras and have the whole thing broadcast live over the net or if lucky over the T.V.\radio?

5. Use of non-violent strategies to catch black ops in the act of intimidating people and covering up evidence. Again the use of hidden cameras and live broadcast on the net and friendly media such as Art Bell and such.

6. The possible use of friendly elements in the special or covert operations field to carry out covert operations to secure evidence from secure government\corporate facilities. Imagine a team breaking into Ft Belvoir and capturing the films of recovery operations that my sources say are stored there?

Conclusion

It is time to end this. Congress is not going to get to involved in this until they see 100,000 protesters march through Washington calling for the release of this information. When 100,000 protesters show up an area51, break down the gate, and march to the hangers someone might have to start taking this seriously.

When the agents that work for the secret government start having their privacy invaded and their families they might be less inclined to carry out their missions.

The great fear I have is that the longer that UFO organizations are around and the more money is donated to them the less it is in there interest to solve this problem. That it might be more beneficial; to sell out and just collect donations. Well thank you for your time and I hope that some of this might make sense and possibly help to end the secrecy.

Are you Ready For The Revolution? Grant Cameron


"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends." (John 15:13)

"This is where I felt I had to go, and we'll see what happens."
Lara Johnstone


Just over 25 years ago, American forces left Vietnam for the last time. Part of the reason for the withdrawal was the advancing North Vietnamese forces advancing on the South Vietnamese capitol. The main reason for the withdrawal, however, was that the American people had turned on the idea of the war, and wanted it ended. Demonstrations in the streets of America, and acts of civil disobedience, had made the idea of continuing the war intolerable.

In a country that believes it is "Government of the people, by the people," it now appears that some people have begun to rise up on the UFO issue. These people believe that like the Vietnam war it is not a strong scientific or logical argument that will turn the tide. They believe that, like Vietnam, the issue is political in nature and political pressure is the main weapon for turning the tide.

One such woman who has taken a stand on the UFO issue is a 35 year old woman from Oakland California.

Her story began on July 22, 2001, when Dr. Steven Greer arrived in San Francisco to make a presentation of his traveling UFO Disclosure Project. The event was held at the huge Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco. Among the 800 people in the audience was a woman by the name of Lara Johnstone.

Lara was a bit skeptical of the whole extraterrestrial thing. She had no background in Ufology. She had never had a sighting. A friend sent her an e-mail about the local Disclosure Event. Lara visited the Disclosure web site on the Internet. After reading the objective she decided to attend. "I never before really "believed' Lara wrote to President George Bush, "in ‘verifiable evidence' of extraterrestrial visits." The Disclosure event turned out to be a "reality check" for Laura.

During the event the two hour Disclosure Testimony Tape was shown. This tape produced by the Disclosure project [www.disclosureproject.org] was highlights of over 100 hours of
testimony that had been collected from interviews with dozens of
U.S. Government, industrial, and military witnesses to UFO and
extraterrestrial events and secret 'black-ops' projects. Following the presentation of the video- tape there was a presentation by Disclosure director Dr. Steven M. Greer and local San Francisco Project witnesses Carol Rosin (spokesperson for Dr. Werner Von Braun) and Daniel Sheehan (legal counsel for the Disclosure Project).

The Disclosure Testimony video was a collection of testimony clips from military and government people talking about the reality of the UFO situation. It was made up of two hours of the 100+ hours of testimony with key witnesses that the Disclosure Project had on file. The testimony that Lara witnessed that evening was more than she could take. She purchased the Disclosure book that Greer was selling at the event, which gave testimony from yet more witnesses telling the true story of what had happened regarding UFOs since 1947.

Lara decided action was necessary. She chose a form of protest that she was familiar with - a hunger strike. In late 2000 Lara had used this protest method successfully against the state of California. In an E-mail to Charles Huffer, Lara described her first hunger strike protest.

I went on a hunger strike was against the CA Department of Corrections and Gov. Gray Davis. After 25 days, they bowed, admitted -- in writing -- what I had alleged, and what they had 'said', but not in writing. Before the press conference, the dept head of all of CA's prisons, came up to me and went ballistic. He started screaming 'who do you think you are' 'how dare you' and on and on! He did not like being called up by the
South African media, asked to answer very difficult questions regarding how he runs his prisons!

Following the disclosure event, Lara quickly researched the UFO subject in preparation for sending a letter to President Bush on the subject. As a part of this effort she contacted Charles Huffer, an Arkansas UFO researcher, who on July 28, 2000, had the opportunity to question President elect Bush while he was on the campaign trail for President.

During this encounter Huffer asked Bush "Half the public believes that UFOs are real." Would you finally tell us what the hell is going on? " Bush replied, " "Sure I will."

A few minutes later Huffer ran into Bush again and the president-elect stated, " It will be the first thing that he will do." (He pointed at Dick Cheney who was just walking up) "He'll get right on it."

Lara used the Huffer encounter with Bush to time the beginning of her hunger strike. The hunger strike would begin exactly one year to the day Bush promised he would work to tell the people about UFOs. She wrote in her July 26, 2001 letter of protest to President Bush.

One year later, on 28 July 2001, you are now the President and I again ask you "are you willing to finally tell the American people and the whole world, the truth about unidentified flying objects?" Hundreds of high level US government officials are standing courageous and willing to tell the truth, which can change our world. Will you give them the opportunity. Can we begin healing our world? Can we end this endeavor of greed, corruption, fear and destruction? Can we find a way to take a
stand, step by step? If we continue this way, we'll only end up where we are going. It doesn't have to be this way. We have a choice.

As a South African, Lara Johnstone also addressed her letter of protest to President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, as well as President George Bush. She outlined her request, President Bush and President Mbeki, I am writing to share with you and all the other leaders around the world my extreme concern. My concern is so great, that I have decided to go on a hunger strike, starting July 28, 2001, to death if need be, in
order to express my humble request. My request is that the U.S.
and other governments:

1. Hold open, comprehensive, secrecy-free hearings to take military/agency witness testimony on events and evidence relating to an Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth.

2. To hold open hearings on advanced energy and propulsion systems, relating to extraterrestrial phenomena that, when publicly released, will provide solutions to global environmental challenges.

3. To enact legislation which will ban all space-based weapons, and to enact and implement international treaties and legal standards prohibiting the weaponization of space.

4. To enact comprehensive legislation to research, develop and explore space peacefully and cooperatively with all cultures on Earth and in space.

In an interview with Lara Johnstone, I asked her about her plans for the hunger strike. She stated, "I'm on my way to D.C. I was going to do a bus trip across the country. I am hoping to be in Washington by the 28th of August which would make the hunger strike at one month, but I'm flexible on that. I have this feeling that I must not plan to much - that things are going to work right. Things are going to happen, and I should just be open and trusting. . . It started on the 28th of July to August 28th will be a month, and then interestingly enough the 28th of
September will be two months and that is the start of the
anti-globalization demonstrations."

Lara has received the expected reactions from people to her hunger strike. Some have said that she is "totally nuts." One person told her, "You don't want to just take on the whole world - now you want to save the aliens too." To this Lara responded, "I said it's not about that. It's about all of us knowing what's going on. Are we just here to buy buy buy being little consumers, or are we here for a bigger purpose? To grow and to love. For me it's about the truth. With the secrecy we're
spreading more fear, and more fear, and it's separation."

Lara is preparing a web site where people can access the letters she has sent out, and stay updated on what responses she has received. She is preparing a letter for all members of Congress, and is sending out letters to names she received of people inside the UFO community who might be able to help her.

Robert H. Williams, a man who lost his job at Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh, New York, for his UFO beliefs, has been kind enough to help Lara in her time of need. On his personal web site, Robert is hosting a section with copies of all the initial correspondence between Lara and Charles Huffer, and the letter to the President. To view this material go to Mr. Williams home page, and then to the section on "WHO."

As President George Bush vacations on his Texas ranch, Lara is in the process of writing her second letter to him. There has been no word from the White House, and no major backing by the UFO or Disclosure Movement community. Then again, it is still early in the hunger strike, Day 10 as this is being written. Lara is still confident. As Lara says, "We'll see what happens."

Lara Johnstone Ends 'Hunger-Strike' Grant Cameron


On Sunday September 9 - Day 44 Lara Johnstone made the decision
to end her hunger strike to encourage President Bush to fulfill his promise to Charles Huffer to disclose the truth about UFOs. She discussed her decision to end the hunger strike, prior to ending it, with some of the supporters who had been with her for most of her effort to achieve disclosure.

When I talked to her Sunday evening, she said the hunger strike was supposed to focus on disclosure. It was now focused on her and the time to end it had come. Minutes later at rest stop on her bus trip from Oakland to Los Angeles to speak at a conference Lara stopped and ate a burger. "It was a small vegetable one," she told me in a phone call minutes later.

Despite a letter from her congress woman Barbara Lee requesting that the President provide Lara Johnstone with a reply to her July 26, 2001 letter, it appears that the President will not be forced to answer mail from constituents.

Lara told me that, in the end, Mr. Bush had no support to make a UFO disclosure. The American people and even many inside of the UFO community have many issues on their mind ahead of Disclosure. In order to make such a big move the President needs broad consensus. It was evident this did not exist.

Even many inside the UFO community were not prepared to do anything more than talk about the issue. On many occasions I discussed this fact with Lara. She stated that she was quite surprised at how different the UFO community was than other protest communities.

It appears to this author that the UFO community is a community in diapers whose time to contribute to the world is still some time in the future. I told Lara that if her effort for disclosure worked UFO people would become the new power, and we'd surely blow up the world in the first week with our fighting.

The attacks on Lara from the UFO community, particularly the UFO
UpDates List took their toll. Lara told me when asked for a comment about this said that naysayers exist in all movements. However, in other movements those striving to achieve an objective join together and ignore the noise. This does not happen as much in the UFO community, and is maybe one of the things that can be learned from her hunger strike.

Lara will be putting up a statement on September 11 about her decision to end the hunger strike. It will appear on her web site.

http://www.bushufodisclosure.org

Many will say that the hunger strike is a failure because Bush was able to just ignore the issue and continue on with his plans to drill for more oil, and ignore treaties dealing with weapons in space and green house gases.

The analysis is not that simple. I firmly believe that disclosure will not come from some 'hail Mary' pass play that scores the winning touchdown. Like evolution it will occur in small bits rather than large bites. It comes from people like Lara who put one foot in front of the other and edge the ball further down the field. The ball is definitely closer to the goal line than it was 44 days ago.

When the UFO community has moved the ball over and over down the
field, and when the general population is ready - then disclosure will come. Let's all pray for $20.00 a gallon gas prices.

People are not ready for disclosure yet. Perhaps that is why the aliens have not ended the mystery with their own landing on the White House lawn, or by cutting in during Monday night football to announce their arrival. They can see the baby bottles sticking out of our back pockets, and know we have things to work out first.

Lara wished to thank all those who have offered her support over the many days of her effort. She was moved by many of the letters, and considers many of those she has met friends for life.

Lara will continue to work for disclosure as she still believes this one of the critical issues of our time. If in the future she believes that a hunger strike would be supported, and that it is the thing that would be needed she said she would do it again.

Speaking on behalf of those close to Lara I would like to thank Lara for her contribution to the Disclosure movement. Even though they were never made public, we know the dramatic things she lost in taking on this challenge. They were things that we more earth bound souls would never think of giving up.

I am sure that those closest to Lara consider her a hero, and will join her in a minute to help her in any new plans she has for disclosure. She has been a prime example of sacrifice, determination, and selflessness. Her contribution to this field will long be remembered.

President Bush Finally Answers Lara Johnstone

Lara Johnstone Tells the Story November 3, 2001

Dear Friends,

On 28 July 2000, after attending a briefing of the Disclosure Project, I went on a hungerstrike and wrote a letter to President Bush requesting his support that the U.S. government:

1. Hold open, comprehensive, secrecy-free hearings to take military/agency witness testimony on events and evidence relating to an Extraterrestrial presence on and around Earth.

2. To hold open hearings on advanced energy and propulsion systems, relating to extraterrestrial phenomena that, when publicly released, will
provide solutions to global environmental challenges.

The entire letter, as well as other letters written to Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Peggy Noonan (President Reagan's ex-speechwriter), and Archbishop Tutu and others can be read at:


http://http://www.bushufodisclosure.org/ (letters link)


On Sunday, September 9, 2001 (day 44), after consultation with close supporters I decided to end my hungerstrike. My full End Disclosure Hunger Strike statement can also be read at the above web site link,
and was released on September 11, 2001 on the morning of the World Trade Center bombings.

Today I received a letter of response from The White House, as well as from Congresswoman Barbara Lee's office. The text of those letters are below.

I will be writing a letter to President Bush's office, as well as Congresswoman Barbara Lee thanking them for their support, courage and continued dedication on this difficult and sometimes embarrassing (to some) matter, and sharing my continued support for their efforts to bring disclosure on this issue forward.

If you have a concern about hearing the testimony of these brave military, agency, corporate etc witness testimony, please visit the Web site and write a letter to President Bush, your Congressional and
Senate Representatives, as well as the media.

An issue such as this requires great courage for any leader to address, and we can not expect or ask our leaders to come forward on difficult issues if we are not prepared to let them know we will support
them and be responsible about hearing the truth, no matter how difficult it may be to hear.

The site also has links to the official Disclosure Project web site, as well as other related web sites such as XPPAC (Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee), the Paradigm Clock, etc.

received from The White House in response to my
inquiry on your behalf regarding your concerns.

Please be assured of my continued interest in this
matter, Ms. Johnstone, and that I will be in touch
with you again when I have received any additional
information.

As always, if you should have any questions or comments
regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me

If you wish to support President Bush, Congress, the Senate and the Media to address this issue, to help to bring the truth out about this matter, please let them know. Make your voice heard and maybe we can bring the truth out and make the Sahara blossom, as well as the future for our children.

Thanks for listening,

Sincerely,

Lara Johnstone

Author's note: Having had the chance to meet and spend a couple days with Lara in California, I can say that I have learned a lot about life from her, and am a better person for having met her. I believe her efforts for UFO disclosure have advanced the football down the field. Grant Cameron

Had a chance to read the articles about the gang Shawnna mentions. Trying to figure out who thinks UFO's are demons is a bit difficult.

Puthoff sounds like he always does and I'd agree with nearly everything he says. He is, far and away, the most reliable of the group. He seems to be little more than a scientist who looks at a topic in detail, finds patterns within information, and then tries by experiment to extend the boundaries. He has met some of the others, but meeting people somewhat different than forming an alliance to disinform or control knowledge.

The only thing I could tell about Kit Green is that he has his own personal demons and seems to be intimidated by them. The obe he had was of the most primitive kind. He may not be very talented in this regard. Demons or negative entities only intimidate people who will allow themselves to be intimidated. Apparently Dr. Green has some problems. However, it is an entities' way of maintaining the invisibility that gives them the power to act with impunity. Any ability of humans to step into their realm ruins their game, therefore they hinder it with those they can affect. Personally, I have encountered only one, and it visited after I attended an event and noticed a beautiful woman who seemed to be terrified of the obnoxious little man she was with. It seems that he noticed her looking at me. I disposed of it quickly. I met a different one 15 months ago and had an unusual interaction with him - he was a human or humanoid ethereal traveler with an agenda. I have not yet discovered whether he was sent by my higher self or my committee - some call them spirit guides, but their contribution is much greater than that. He may have stimulated me to deal with issues that I wanted to address this time - and therefore would not be a demon, per se.

The paper by Dan Smith on the Eschaton is an incredible mess. One would be hard-pressed to put that much nonsense into one essay without a dump-truck sized shoe-horn. I could not find a single line without at least one foolish idea in it. Yes, things are going to change - big time - and we have to do all we can to help others find their way. And yes, people who know more will do better than the ones who are clueless, but there is nothing new about that either. However, the best results will be found by those who cooperate rather than compete. Enough on this one.

Maccabee and Pandolfi seem to know each other, and I remember Maccabee writing about the Gulf Breeze sightings some years ago. But I don't detect any deep agendas there.

Of course Richard Doty is another story. Glad to know about that one.

Hi Don,

I look forward to the essay you are putting together for the GT. That was interesting stuff on the scotties and yorkies too. If I were inclined to join the freemasons, it would be the scottish rite. It's funny that the scotties are going to turn over the "whatever it is" to the yorkies when the yorkies consciously cut themselves out of the loop in the early 1800's by abolishing much of the oral history that was preserved in what they considered "outdated" ceremonies.

Hi Shady,

I would disagree with the idea that the greys are stuck in some sort of fetal state. It would have been interesting to participate in that discussion, but I was doing other things at the time. Actually biologists have a series of words that describe different aspects of this.

Neoteny or paedomorphosis - the retention of juvenile characteristics in some organ or organ system

Paedogenesis - the development of the ability to reproduce in a juvenile form

The most likely characteristics to lead to make people invoke a neoteny argument for the greys is the oversized head and lack of muscular development. However, this is a superficial assessment, because at the time we did not have the information that exists now - thank you to Dan. Based on the information about all the physical systems that he mentioned, there is no indication that neoteny is at play here, and there certainly is no indication that they cannot reproduce because they are still juveniles. In fact the one he dealt with was already in advanced stages of senescence, and as such had to be maintained in a chamber that gave the physical characteristics of their home world instead of the world that they were secondarily adapted to through some form of genetic engineering. What we don't know is what their form looked like before the parts of or the whole human genome was planted in them. Or it could be that the parts of the human genome contained in their cells merely provided the energy metabolism machinery to allow them to operate here. It may have contributed very little else. However, at this point it is difficult to say.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
