UFO Crash-Retrieval Conference

 

The 6th International UFO Crash-Retrieval Conference was held on Friday, November 7 and concluded Sunday, November 9th. The Conference was at the Tuscany Suites Hotel in Las Vegas. George Knapp was the Keynote speaker and once again thrilled the large banquet guests with a terrific presentation. George’s talk was on the Needles, California crash of “something”. A large object with a turquoise hue plummeted out of the sky in the early morning hours of May 14 and plowed into the earth south of Las Vegas near Needles. Eyewitnesses say this was no meteorite, especially since several black helicopters came looking for it and then hauled it away. http://www.lasvegasnow.com/Global/story.asp?s=8750270

 

Coast to Coast AM’s George Noury was a speaker and did his very popular radio show on Friday night from the KXNT studios on West Sahara Avenue with the speakers as guests. Everyone who paid $30 for Noury’s “Meet & Greet” reception said it was well worth the price! The speaker lineup included many of my friends: Dr. Robert Wood, Ryan Wood, Jim Marrs, Linda Moulton Howe, Richard Dolan, Dr. John Alexander and Stephen Bassett (the organizer of the terrific X Conference.

 

I made an appearance at the banquet, not partaking of the buffet, on Saturday night. Meeting up with some friends I haven’t seen in awhile, I also met an interesting woman who is a follower of Havar. She speaks and writes a “universal cosmic language”. Apparently, when ETs publicly make their presence known here next year (Stephen Bassett’s disclosure timeframe), this is the language they will be speaking. Very briefly, here is what I found out about the teachings of HAVAR from Havar’s website.

 

“Havar is a phenomenal individual who came directly from the Primary Council (from another space and time) in order to be with us physically to teach this knowledge and information to all who would listen and for it to be revealed when the time was right.  That time has come.

 

“HAVAR is not now with us physically but had clear-sight and was without burden of the muddled thinking and programs that our conscious minds absorb and could see through the confusion and thought-forms that pervade our planet and thinking process -- a true Master.” KASTARA PARASAVA, Ms.D

 

There are already neutral invented languages like Esperanto or Ido that were proposed as a bridge between people who otherwise could not communicate. This idea inspired among others Father Schleyer, the inventor of Volapük in 1887 and Dr L. Zamenhof, the inventor of Esperanto, whose language remains the best known of its type over a century since it was first launched. Ido is improvements to Esperanto by a group of scientists and linguists who had nothing else to do. The committee included the Danish linguist Professor Otto Jespersen and the French mathematician and philosopher Professor Louis Couturat. They took the best from Esperanto and from another invention, Idiom Neutral, added further improvements, and developed a language which is almost certainly the easiest in the world, yet at the same time one of the most precise. Next week’s column will be written exclusively in Esperanto.

 

Christopher Green Fine Art

 

Our dear friend Dr. Christopher (Kit) Green is now dividing his time, with wife Kristen, between living and working in Beijing, China and the U.S.

 

In 1969, Kit went to work for the Central Intelligence Agency. By the end of his career with the agency in 1985, he was reporting directly to the Director of the Agency as a Senior Division Analyst with the newly formed Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence. Kit’s role as chief analyst (and guardian of the CIA’s “weird desk”) has led conspiracy theorists to firmly believe that Kit “debriefed” the injured Roswell alien and knows where and when EBE (Extraterrestrial Biological Entity) vacations on Earth. The persistent UFO rumor says that there were two alien beings abroad the wonky craft that crashed in Roswell. One of the two beings died and his autopsy was filmed! The other? After extensive plastic surgery, he is said to be enjoying retirement in Palm Springs.

 

Kit’s true passion is art and he now has a website. Kit originally trained in Oils and Acrylics at Northwestern University, but 'switched' exclusively to Oriental Inks in 1999 while living and studying in China and Singapore. His Master was Nai Swee Leng and Kit was directed to him by his framer in Singapore. Kit became Master Leng’s student and developed a unique Western-Oriental style.

 

Kit paints on heavy D'Arches in a 12' - 24' X 18' - 36' format, or alternatively on rice paper or rice-paper collage mounted on canvas structure, to accommodate commissions for specific requirements. Kit’s commissions, which he enjoys doing, include an extensive consultation with the client.

 

Kit’s style is best described as Representational Art, a blend of free-expressionistic post-modernism with discernable figure-ground relationships and recognizable patterns, portraiture, and scenes. His adaptations of Master Nai’s style is a blend of oriental free-expression in both black inks and colored ink-water-colors with Western overtones in execution and use of color. (Pictured: Pre-Moon. Oriental Inks on Canvas, 3.5 Feet x 2.0 Feet x 1 inch)

 

Kit was the only Western Artist juried into a prestigious Singapore Oriental Ink Exhibition in 2003, and was subsequently published in a Fine Art Book of the Exhibition. Kit also practices medicine at the Detroit Medical Center, and maintains an active studio in New Baltimore. http://christophergreenfineart.com/

 

NGC’s Egypt Unwrapped

 

National Geographic Channel’s Expedition Week continues on Friday, November 21 at 8 p.m. with Alexander the Great's Lost Tomb and at 9 p.m., Mystery of the Screaming Man.

 

Alexander the Great's Lost Tomb. I am a huge fan of the fascinating and merciless Alexander the Great. As one of history's greatest warrior kings, he conquered most of the known ancient world. Alexander died in 323 BC when he was 32 years old. I favor the poisoning theory. His men were sick and tired of the constant marching. His soldiers marched for 12 years covering 22,000 miles from Greece all the way to India and back to Babylon.

 

Macedonian by birth, Alexander died a pharaoh of Egypt, and his legacy would shape the Egyptian empire for the next 300 years. The location of his tomb has eluded archaeologists for more than 2,000 years.

 

Alexander's body was placed in a gold sarcophagus, which was in turn placed in a second gold casket and covered with a purple robe. It is said that Ptolemy I stole the body and brought it to Alexandria, where it was on display in a glass coffin until Late Antiquity.

 

"Octavian next viewed the body of Alexander, and even touched it in such a fashion that, so it is said, a piece of the nose was broken off. Yet he went not to see the corpses of the Ptolemies, despite the keen desire of the Alexandrians to show them to him, retorting, 'I wished to see a king not dead people.'" Dio Cassius, 3rd century AD

 

It was the most renowned and respected shrine in the Roman Empire, the object of veneration by Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Octavian, Caligula, Hadrian, Severus, Caracalla and other luminaries. It stood for centuries within a sacred precinct the size of a large town at the heart of the greatest Greek city in the world. The Roman emperor Caligula was said to have looted the tomb, stealing Alexander's breastplate, and wearing it.

 

At the end of the 4th century AD, when the Christian emperor Theodosius outlawed paganism, it disappeared without trace, creating the greatest archaeological enigma of the ancient world. What became of the tomb of Alexander the Great? Does any part of it still survive? (Pictured: The golden larnax of the father of Alexander the Great, on display in Thessaloniki, Greece)

 

Egypt Unwrapped: Mystery of the Screaming Man, Friday, November 21, at 9 p.m. More than a century ago, an unmarked coffin was found lying in a cave with some of the greatest pharaohs in Egyptian history. The contents were shocking -- a roughly 3,000-year-old mummy, his face locked in an eternal scream, and little sign of a normal ancient Egyptian burial.

 

What caused this man's haunting expression? Why wasn't he mummified according to custom? And what secrets can he reveal about the Egyptian attitude toward the afterlife. Using cutting-edge medical science and unprecedented access, a facial anthropologist re-creates the face of this mummy to solve the mystery of The Screaming Man. (Pictured: Another screaming mummy from Museo de las Momias (the Museum of Mummies) outside Guanajuato, a colonial city located 370 kilometres northwest of Mexico City)

 

The Scorpion King. Sunday, November 23, at 8 p.m. For nearly a hundred years, historians have been searching for the answer to the riddle of The Scorpion King, trying to unravel the mystery of the real ancient ruler.  From fragments of evidence, experts are building a picture of a ruler 5,000 years ago whose achievements laid the foundations for history's most enduring civilization. This king likely united the upper and lower kingdoms of ancient Egypt, organized his kingdom with the world's earliest phonetic writing system and began a new style of burial that may have inspired the complex tombs and pyramids of the pharaohs.

What I’m Reading

 

Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes by Maurice Isserman and Stewart Weaver.

 

“Fallen Giants” is a huge book detailed with maps about the conquest of Mount Everest. The first successful ascent of Mount Everest was in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa teammate Tenzing Norgay but, in the authors extensive research, note that The Great Beast 666, Aleister Crowley, was a mountaineering maven, until he gave it up to become a Satanist (“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”).

 

Crowley had climbed extensively in Switzerland and joined a K2 expedition, but thievery of rations, jealousies, and petty arguments collapsed the success of the adventure. Crowley’s climbing partners obviously did what they wanted!

 

Crowley then led a climb to Kangchenjunga in Sikkim in 1905 that ended tragically with one climber and three porters killed. Crowley left mountaineering and turned exclusively to “sex, drugs, and black magic”.

 

“Because It Is There”. George Mallory’s (pictured on left, with Andrew Irvine) body was finally discovered in 1999, but the question still remains, “Did Mallory summit?” “Mallory of Everest” was a member of the famous “Bloomsbury Group” and initiated into the pleasures of “the higher sodomy”. Mallory married and had several children; however, according to the authors, he chose inexperienced, but handsome and athletic, Andrew Irvine, 21, as his climbing partner in his third Mount Everest expedition in 1924. Irvine had no Himalayan or high-altitude climbing experience.

 

Perhaps, as some writers suggested, Mallory might have been romantically attracted to Irvine and that came into play when unwisely choosing Irvine as his summit partner. The pair's last known sighting was only a few hundred metres from the summit.

 

Did Mallory and Irvine summit? It remains the topic of much debate and research. Sir Edmund Hillary asked: "If you climb a mountain for the first time and die on the descent, is it really a complete first ascent of the mountain? I am rather inclined to think personally that maybe it is quite important, the getting down, and the complete climb of a mountain is reaching the summit and getting safely to the bottom again."

It seems everyone is gleefully guessing about this Blind Item. Gee, and incidentally this comes directly on the heels of American Idol’s puppet- master Simon Cowell announcing he gave his now ex-girlfriend a $9 million kiss–off that includes cash and a $4.5 million house!

 

Cowell insists he does not want to get married and does not want to have children! Send you guesses to BlindGossip.com, who says:

 

Lovely Parting Gifts Buy Silence. “When a couple split after several years together, the official parting is usually slow and painful and messy. So you really have to question why the breakup of this couple is going to be swift and painless and clean. It turns out that one half of the couple has incredible leverage in harboring some very deep and very nasty secrets about the other half and their sexual proclivities. The mildest of these secrets is the typical inclusion of a surprising third party, as well as one person’s penchant for wearing clothing of the opposite sex. Several jaw-dropping parting gifts are in the works to effectively buy the ex’s silence.” BlindGossip.com
