William R Lyne on Sitchin and The Illuminati’s Re-writing of History

William Lyne was born in Big Spring, Texas, and raised in West Texas oil boom towns and ranching country. He had a Top Secret clearance in Air Force Intelligence, earned a B.S. degree with a double major in Art and Industrial Technology from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, acquired an

M.F.A. in Studio Arts from the University of Texas at Austin in 1969, and has lived in New Mexico for over 28 years. In 1975, he rejected a high-paying and prestigious executive CIA position offered by then director George Bush, because he believes the National Security Act of 1947 is an illegal betrayal of American Sovereignty and liberty, and that the flying saucer, as man's greatest invention, should be enjoyed by all. He believes that the USA government should be prohibited from engaging in covert and illegal mind-control of the American people, because it fraudulently violates our bill of (Human) Rights, by circumventing our right to fully informed consent or refusal. He began research leading to this book over 48 years ago, and recognized the "Roswell Incident" as a bungled hoax when it was created in 1947 by military intelligence personnel at Holloman A.F.B., in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and perpetrated in the vicinity of nearby Roswell.

Lyne’s book Pentagon Aliens reveals the history of how the monumental discoveries in ether physics by Nikola Tesla, over 100 years ago, were being used to build and develop UFO saucer craft throughout the 20^th century. This understanding of how energy can be tapped from the ether and used to provide free energy, anti-gravity propulsion and super-advanced aerial and space-craft, has been one of the Illuminati’s biggest secrets. In order to keep the development of such craft secret, a monumental hoax was engineered by the Illuminati’s top military and Intelligence community, resulting in the alien visitation belief system which is currently rampant in the world today.

The following extract from Pentagon Aliens relates Lyne’s own experiences in being approached by Illuminati agents to fraudulently author the same kind of material which Zecharia Sitchin has also produced.

"M.I.B." is an acronym for "Men In Black", the Secret Government spooks who often show up to harass witnesses. My reference to a so-called "Friend", is to a man who is and was one of them. He also created some of the hoax scenarios for the CIA/OSI, involving pseudo-linguistics, pseudo-archaeology (ala Zecharia Sitchin), as well as the O.S.I.R.I.S. group used to 'smokescreen' the cattle mutilation/ stealth weapons test program. This archaeology/linguistics brand of government lie has always angered me, because of the tendency to blur and confuse the work of those who are engaged in responsible linguistic inquiry and archaeology, yet which may be vulnerable because they are divergent and out of the mainstream. The flaky and irresponsible fabrication of 'extraterrestrial' interpretations, tends to put a blight on new breakthrough work being done, as if it were also false. For example, around 1977, I had begun to make headway with petroglyph research indicating connections between American Indians and specific, ancient Middle Eastern, Indo-European, Semitic, Asian, Norse, and Celtic writings, languages, cultures and peoples, about which I was contemplating a book.

I was astounded when the "Friend" (whom I had known for several years), paid me a visit in 1977, and announced his intent to institute a program attributing the petroglyphs to "ancient space aliens". He was the M.I.B. who had lived in Santa Fe with and trained the couple of government-paid

U.F.O. shamsters known as "The Two" in 1972 (Marshall Herff Applewhite and Bonnie Lu Nettles). He later exploited the mentally disturbed daughter of the inventor of The Formula. I realized at that time, that his fraudulent work was being sponsored by the intelligence community, for whom he had worked for years, and continued to do 'contract work' for.

I noticed that, in my presence, he wore a Shriner ring. This was to gain my trust--or better still, to shut me up---on the erroneous assumption that, since CIA files showed I came from a "Masonic family", I would feel compelled to "keep the secrets". This, in spite of the fact that he was a graduate of a Catholic school (U. of Denver). One of the primary tenets of the Masonic Oath is never to betray a trust. To me, it wasn't my trust he sought, but rather my complicity in a secret betrayal of the trust of the American people.. Even if I had been a Mason, which I am not, gaining my trust through such a fraud would have nullified the oath. He erroneously thought that he was 'motivating me at my own level.'

It angers me that the intelligence spooks exploit entire fields of knowledge and professions, sacrificing them to government 'expediency', by generating knowingly false programs designed to conceal technology from the public and to brainwash them in BIG LIE mass-psychology programs ala Hitler. These programs are to subliminally control people by propagating fantastic, ignorant and twisted lies which elevate insane and irrational elements of society, at the expense of knowledge, reason, and truth. It astounded me that the "Friend" could hypocritically look me straight in the eye, while my life was all the while being cruelly tom apart by their covert harassment. It occurred to me that a committee had worked this all out on paper somewhere, and that individual rights and human life didn't matter to them, so long as they fabricated the 'right' interpretations of things which helped them to control society.

While in graduate school in art at U.T., I was appalled to learn that the fields of art and art history were cynically considered 'expendable' to the CIA people, who referred to artists as "...just a bunch of paranoids..." They had permeated both the faculty and the student body of the university art department. To them, the "cover" of artists and art historians were ideally suited for deceitful, intelligence-gathering foreign travel, photographing strategic defense areas, picking up and delivering data, acting as couriers, etc., and little else. It was my judgment that the people who do that are no better than the closet homosexuals who marry in order to present a false image of themselves to society as being heterosexuals. There were no less than six CIA professionals on the art faculty at U. T. in 1969, and several CIA and military intelligence operatives posing as art students. I wondered how many operatives they had in other departments of the university. Those who posed as students seemed to be spies on the students and the faculty. Since the Viet Nam war was in full swing, 'draft counsellors' seemed to be among their prime targets, but I suppose that any excuse could have served as a pretext to continually meddle with and control what would otherwise have been a natural, and more just flow of the affairs in a supposedly "educational" institution.

In the fall of 1977, the Friend made the trip to my home for the specific purpose of dissuading me from publishing this book, and had the gall to layout the phoney hypothesis for HIS book, which he expected me to write. At that time, he had apparently become disturbed not only by my plans for a flying saucer book, but because I had also begun to branch off into petroglyph research, which threatened to interfere with his official Big Lie plan to interpret the petroglyphs as the "writings of extraterrestrials".

He had apparently dreamed up the alien petroglyph hoax, and enticed me with a lucrative CIA contract, to draw me away from my saucer book, thinking that, once I had collaborated in the false "alien archaeology" lies, I would be "hooked", to be compelled by my published change in position, to fit in with the "alien saucers" lies. This opportunity to prostitute my intellect for cash, included the guarantee that the publishing contacts were already set up and ready to go, in Sedona, Arizona.

I hit the ceiling, saying that I had personal knowledge that flying saucers are man-made, that the government's program of spreading the gospel of E.S.P., Edgar Cayce, and extraterrestrial origin of flying saucers, was a Big Lie originating with the Nazis, and that I would never cooperate in the spreading of such trash. I told him of my broad-daylight sighting, that my parents were present among more than seven witnesses, and that they had often seen whole squadrons of saucers in the Dakotas. This information on my parent's sightings turned out to be a serious mistake, as I underestimated the extremes to which the CIA would go to suppress witnesses. Besides, why argue with someone who already knew the truth, and only wanted me to join into the lies to conceal it for fun and profit?

He then attempted to intimidate me, and even threatened me, recounting some of the bad things which had happened to some of those who had refused to cooperate, or had "gone too far" (presumably by doing such things as revealing the secret manipulations I am telling you about in this book).

One Key to deciphering religion, New Age and Illuminati-sponsored

Revision of Mythology – the Zodiac

by

Ivan Fraser

It is extremely interesting also that Christianity – the Messianic movement of the Christ – began 2000 years ago, in light of what I am about to present of the hidden codes in mythology and religion relating to the zodiac. Because the references in the Bible to Jesus’s prophecies and promise to be with us until the end of the aeon are essentially references to the astrological New Age, as it was then. The aeon is the astrological age, as defined by the twelve houses, represented popularly since Babylonian times by animal symbols such as Cancer the crab, Leo the lion etc. The New Age being heralded at the end of the Old Testament and into the New Testament was the Age of Pisces. Whereas, today, we are heading into the Age of Aquarius. As the next ‘New Age’ dawns we are seeing a re-emergence of the same ancient motifs and beliefs and fascinations which combined to produce the last ‘one religion fits all’ cult of Christianity.

Astronomical and astrological references, motifs and codes abound in ancient mythologies and ‘mysteries’. They play a monumental role in shaping religious beliefs, but have for thousands of years been encoded into stories which have been massively misinterpreted through the ages, leading to any number of religious dogmas and misunderstandings. Furthermore, the Illuminati of the ages has deemed such knowledge to be beyond the wit of the common people and have suppressed the truth of the origins of these religious dogmas, thereby making them falsely mysterious. The Bible even demonises astrology, which led to murderous suppression by the Church in its purge of the ‘heretics’ down through the ages.

This understanding will, I am sure, reveal a good part of the picture to those who are still in two minds about this subject due to the many ambiguities (or apparent ambiguities) in ancient texts that appear to need an alien or mystical explanation. However, armed with these insights, so much of the speculative and ‘way out’ theorising can be disregarded as wishful thinking, overactive imagination, over-complication, or even deliberate fraud designed to confuse, distort reality and manipulate our minds.

The situation is not helped by the fact that there is indeed an unseen reality of paranormal phenomena which has been experienced since the dawn of man, a great deal of which has been assumed to have been the underlying meaning behind many elements of mythology, which actually refer to much more down to earth (or up in the skies) phenomena. When old names and titles of deified historical figures were combined with emerging man-made models of natural phenomena, the mythologies began to branch into new emerging mythologies and religions which were built upon the foundations of them. For example, the very word we use to name the Creator – God – is an ancient term for the original nationality of the Sumero-Babylonian kingship – Gutti/Gotti. Angels is a word derived from En-ge-li, an old title for King Can, (basically meaning ‘Lord of Cultivation of the Earth) whose title Mikli became the name of a Judeo-Christian figure – Archangel Michael, who has inspired any number of esoteric and New Age interpretations. The Vedic name for a class of demons – Asuras – originally had the opposite meaning of ‘divine’ and was derived from a Sumerian name for the sun – Ashira. All of these terms – and very many more – have since become terms associated with ‘occultism’ and paranormal phenomena and ideologies. It is extremely unwise to assume that popular meanings of words from today or recent history are equivalent to the original understanding of the same words or their roots. The same goes for entire meanings behind many global mythologies.

Certainly, astronomy and astrology are not the entire answer to ancient ‘ambiguous’ myths. As I have shown in the previous editions of the magazine, genuine histories and characters have been recorded and later altered, or misinterpreted to fit in with the beliefs and politics of vested interests, whilst others have been used as a template to illustrate ‘hidden’ ideas, or moral lessons. Some texts do reveal knowledge of the unseen worlds and of things we call today ‘paranormal’, but many which are assumed to do not.

A great deal of confusion arises through the fact that most people do not know the origins of the ideas which became myths, and how these myths were gradually misinterpreted and added to by succeeding scribes through the ages. What may have once been a simple history tale, could later become an esoteric text with the names of historical characters used as titles for states of mind, planes of existence, powers of nature etc. One tale can launch a hundred mythologies which will be further interpreted and incorporated into the cultural heritage of other nations and cultures around the world.

Having studied the mythologies of numerous and diverse cultures across the world, I have been impressed by the many similarities and common themes and motifs to be found in cultures often thousands of miles apart, speaking an entirely different language, and showing evidence of remarkably different cultural heritage.

One reason for this is the rise of the Sumerian aristocracy, which pioneered the art of seafaring and took their knowledge, histories and myths around the world in search of new lands, knowledge and mineral resources. The oldest texts began as histories. The histories were largely prehistoric folk memories, some of which became parables and means to explain unexplained phenomena like why do plants grow and why do they do so in seasons, what causes the seasons etc? Then at the introduction of writing, those who first wrote – i.e. the Sumerians – were writing about what their aristocracy had done, and began to make ongoing records. Years down the line, new writers reinterpreted the writing – a process which continues up to this very day. Writers embellished, mistranslated (especially in the case of ancient Hebrew, which was always ambiguous, having no clearly defined beginning and end of sentences, or vowels to define the exact meaning of the work), added bits to make sense of what they only partly understood, or were deliberately altered for local religious or political reasons etc. And so these developments spread around the world and continually transformed.

However, amongst a very large proportion of the commonalties, is to be found a fundamental and relatively simple reason for the many similarities. That is, all people since the dawn of humanity have lived on the Earth and gazed up at the sky and witnessed essentially the same passage of the heavens. And they have all tried, in their own way, to explain that which they could not fully explain any other way, through the use of symbolism.

The obvious questions in the minds of our predecessors were why do the heavenly bodies appear to die and come back, why do the stars and sun do that in the sky everyday and will they do so again tomorrow and in the future?

Around 2000 BC, the priests in Babylon had begun to seriously map the heavens. They named the cosmic bodies after the names and titles of the early Sumerian aristocracies who had been later deified as heroes and gods for helping the lot of mankind (through the introduction or transformation of farming and education, science, building, metallurgy etc.).

They named the cosmic bodies after their gods and they realised that time was defined by the kinetic movement of the heavens around the Earth, in a time when it was not recognised that the Earth moves around the sun. Therefore, the gods lived 'up there', constantly revolving around the ‘lower’ realm of mankind’s earthly dwelling. What they did 'up there' affected man – brought seasons – life and death etc. So man had started to develop the first star maps and noted their relation to the seasons.

Having defined the movements of the heavens and their relationship with the seasons and agriculture etc., it was assumed that everything in ‘heaven’ was absolutely ordered. Everything happened at the same time every day, and every day the cycle would repeat; and every year the solar cycle and seasons would repeat as it was believed it had always done. Eventually, however, they began to notice that the heavens were not constantly progressing in the same order. Something had shifted over time. Given enough time – generations – to observe the heavenly cycles – the imperceptibly slow progression of greater cycles began to be noticed. Order was shifting – which they saw as a developing chaos.

All that had happened was the effect of the precession of the equinoxes. The sun was gradually rising in a different position – apparently moving backwards through the astrological houses – as the years progressed. Their star maps – i.e. the daily and seasonal activity of their ‘gods’ – was increasingly becoming inaccurate. Therefore, reasons had to be found to explain this. Consequently new mythologies developed to give reason to what seemed inexplicable at the time.

Today, we know where the stars are, where they go, how they move progressively over time. We can predict the positions of the heavens well into the future and we can accurately map where they have been throughout our history. We know that we move around the sun, and the precessional cycle takes us through an apparent 25,920 year retrograde journey through the houses of the zodiac, in each of which we reside for 2160 years.

The early astronomers however were not in possession of such facts. They did not know that their ‘perfect’ ordered heavens and gods were constantly shifting over thousands of years and would not return to their ‘original’ state of ‘order’ in theirs or their immediate descendants’ lifetimes.

But they had enough mathematical knowledge to realise that the heavenly circle could be evenly divided into 12 sections of a 360 degree circle, each of which occupying 30 degrees of arc, defined by one discernible constellation in each house. Obviously, a correlation between this dial-like ring around the Earth which shifted through an entire circuit each year, was observed in relation to the regular waxing and waning cycles of the moon. So, early calendars were developed; some based on the moon cycles and others on the sun, whilst attempts were made (for many hundreds of years) to synchronise the lunar and solar cycles. However, because both cycles do not correlate and gradually move out of synch, myths developed to explain the tensions between the moon and sun, and why they ‘ruled’ time in different ways. Reconciliation myths developed to explain also the fact that cycles of heavenly bodies not only moved out of synchronisation (into chaos), but also would eventually come back into a period of apparent synchronisation (order).

So began the idea that ‘in the beginning’ (i.e. from the point at which they had created their maps, which they had assumed was an eternal order) was a ‘golden age’, when man and gods lived in harmony. There was harmony in ‘heaven’, and also because of this, on earth. Historically, of course, the rise of the Sumerians had been a ‘golden age’, wherein the lot of mankind had been enormously benefited by new emerging technologies and understanding, the suppression of indigenous barbarism etc. which the early Sumerian kings had brought to Mesopotamia.

By then, old tales of great god-men and women who brought culture, began to be re-written as the 'gods' rebelling in the heavens – creating increasing disorder, chaos, from a time of 'perfection' (the original star map which they thought was fixed). The lesser gods were rebelling, the orbits were changing their once apparently ordered synchronisation. The Golden Age was gone; when would it be restored? Astrological calculations were made as to when the order and reconcilliations would re-occur in the large precessional cycle as well as the smaller yearly solar, lunar and planetary cycles. The events on Earth would reflect the activities in the heavens, and so the heavens were observed for portents of good and ill.

This was also a time of a relative decline of the power of the Sumerian aristocracy in Babylon, which saw the rise of the power of the indigenous Semitic priesthoods. Warfare with other countries and tribes was increasingly troubling the land, and was attributed to the course and plight of the gods and fates in the ‘heavens’.

In the attempt to create a unified explanation of the relationship between heaven and earth, all kinds of motifs were being written

– the world serpent spinning the earth (in the Vedas), the world mill spinning the heavens (the zodiac) etc. The world mill would grind sustenance for the people and so bread became a common astronomically-related motif (as in the biblical reference to ‘manna from heaven’). Other myths had the mill grinding salt, because of the view that the heavens were a huge salty sea. The gods now had fights with bows (the archer) and shot dogs (Sirius, the Dog Star) etc. The corn/sun god Osiris/Ra went underground at night to fight the evil serpent, to be resurrected in his solar bark – shining back into the sky. The ‘shining ones’ travelled in celestial chariots – ships of light travelling through space and the sky – who were the 'watchers' of man and the Lords of man’s fate – interfering and interacting 'as above, so below'. THEY could do that to man and the environment – bring life and death and fate – but man could not affect THEM. They had their own rules, could die and return, commit crimes, incest etc. but were intrinsically ‘allowed’, as the rules of the gods were absolutely outside the realm of mankind to affect and could be judged only by each other, and ultimately by the Supreme Judge – i.e. whoever happened to be seen by the people and priests as the ultimate head of their pantheon.

One of the most prominent motifs in mythologies throughout the world is the idea that the heavens are suspended upon an axis, around which they revolve. There are many world axes, including heavenly mills, sacred mountains, pillars and ladders to the heavens. The heavens are also frequently symbolically classed as a ‘sea’ in which the gods either swim (the fish symbol of the sun/Jesus) or upon which the gods sail in their eternal travels, or adventures and wars. Some temples – such as Sumerian ziggurats (in which the priestess/goddess would be placed in the apex) and perhaps the Egyptian pyramids – which were often astronomical observatories, incorporating earthly and cosmic mathematics and geometry into their design, were seen as earthly ‘bonds’ between heaven and earth, and were also ‘world pillars’, like the fabled Tower of Babel. The motif of the goddess looking down from a high window, such as in a castle, is a common theme and indicates to those ‘with eyes to see’ that the tale is an astronomical/astrological one. Hence mythologies including the motifs of the princess (the Mother Goddess/sea of space/moon) captured (fixed) in a tower (the world axis) being rescued by a noble son/prince/hero (the sungod), who slays the dragon (the force of darkness and opposition/chaos).

As is the case today in Islam, the circle is associated with the Oneness of God, and the square with the Earth, or earthliness. This derives from the symbolism of the circular zodiac and the old Babylonian maps which defined the known world as a square area. Numerous motifs can be found in mythology in which a stone (temples and Neolithic observatories and calendars such as Stonehenge were made of stone) symbolises the bond between heaven and earth, and when the stone is removed or destroyed, then ‘the waters’ come flooding out causing a catastrophe. For example, this myth was associated with ancient Jerusalem, where it was believed the ‘waters’ of ‘the earth’ (in mythology, ‘the earth’ is frequently a symbol of the heavens) all gathered beneath Jerusalem’s temple (astronomical/ astrologically aligned bond of heaven and earth) and must be kept in place to prevent another great flood. The motif of a stone falling from heaven or pillar being removed, resulting in a ‘fall, catastrophe or flood would represent the movement from order to chaos and the end of an astrological aeon; a pillar being erected towards heaven being symbolic of the establishment of order and the beginning of entry into a new astrological age.

If we consider a prominent example of the world-pillar motif – Jacob of the Bible – we find that the original Sumerian rendering of his name is IA-A-GUB, which means ‘standing stone, or pillar’. Jacob is said to have erected a pillar at Beth-El, devoted to his god. He also experienced a vision of a stairway to heaven which allowed the angels (gods) to ascend and descend to Earth. However, the biblical tale clearly overshadows the fact that the Jacob myth is a later rendition of a common theme in which Jacob is a god, a sungod, surrounded by the 12 houses of the zodiac – which became the origin of the legend of the 12 tribes of Israel. Pantheons of 12 gods exist in mythologies all over the world, for obvious reasons.

Every 2160 years, the sun would rise in a particular house of the zodiac. So the sun (symbolised as the ‘son’ of god) was ‘born’ of a virgin (the Virginal pre-existent void of space – the sea called Mery/Mary, Tiamat etc.) into a New Age at the beginning of each era and would traverse through the childhood phase to adulthood, to eventually die on the cross (the symbol of the sun and the 4 major divisions of the world and sky) and be reborn at the beginning of the succeeding astrological sign – i.e. at the point where it left the 30 degrees or arc of that particular house. Consequently, we have numerous ‘saviours’ or sungods, or sons of god being born of a virgin (the void/sea of space) and dying at the ‘age’ of 30, of whom Jesus is a very late and contrived example.

Central to religious beliefs of the ages is the concept that the sungod messiah will ‘come again’ and a New Golden Age be restored to rule over the new order of the heavens/gods, and consequently of the affairs of man. There have been numerous ‘sons of the waters’ motifs from Moses, to Jesus’s baptism, or portrayal through the symbol of the fish etc; from the Vedic fire god Agni and sun god Karna (who, like Moses is a royal babe drawn from the waters).

But the idea of a heavenly sea or space suspended on an earthly pillar, which ends in cataclysm and warfare of gods has been portrayed in many more ways than those with which we are mainly familiar through the symbolism of the Bible.

For example, Plato’s Atlantis myth revolved around a discussion with the astronomer Timaeus. The text is initially at great pains to emphasise Timaeus’s position as the premier astronomer, and proceeds to tell us of a legendary island (world pillar motif) which was established by the gods (planets and stars) in a Golden Age, which then was involved in a ‘fall’; into warfare, and finally destruction by crumbling into the sea (order into chaos and destruction into the sea of the heavens prior to a re-establishment of a New astrological Age). The ‘gods’ in this case are said to dwell ‘outside the pillars of Hercules’, which are usually taken to mean the Straits of Gibraltar, but in accordance with the ancient code, most likely refer to the pillars or gates through which the ‘Milky Way’ flows, or some such similar astronomical reference. Why would Plato spend so much time impressing upon us that the character of Timaeus was an astronomer, and that they were speaking in symbolism, if the text were not primarily concerned with the course of the heavens? One thing the texts of Critias and Timaeus make clear is that they are not to be taken literally. So why do people today read them so and see them as the first records of an ancient island kingdom populated by gods or aliens? Certainly, there are many submerged once-populated areas of the world and sunken landmasses, but it does not mean that any of them were Atlantis, or populated by advanced people, aliens or gods before the end of the last Ice Age. Especially when we consider that the fabled gods of Atlantis were also associated with the cosmic bodies, and their names were derived from the titles of the ancient historical kings of Sumer, which dates them no earlier than the late 4^th millennium BC.

(The sheer mass of such astronomical/astrological symbolism throughout world mythology is the subject of Hamlet’s Mill by de Santillana and Von Dechend, and is highly recommended to all readers in ancient mythology.)

The activities of the gods created fear in the minds of men. The gods fought each other and moved – apparently – out of the harmony of the Golden Age, bringing calamity to the people on Earth. Man was taught to fear the gods, and to observe them, to worship them and their (in reality the priests’) edicts, in order to ensure a certain future. The gods could strike down upon them famine, flood, wind or earthquake, should the people displease them. In reality, the idea of ‘god’s punishment’ derived from a need to explain why natural disasters occurred to people, and many elements of religion were later derived from scribes inserting their own explanations as to why such things should occur. They thereby turned many ancient characters into ‘sinners’, who were not originally considered to have been so.

One also should consider the enormous power which early astronomer-priests had over the ignorant masses by knowing when and where certain cosmic events were going to occur. When the people needed to be persuaded one way or the other, they would be told to look to the skies for a ‘sign from the gods’. If such a sign was to occur, as opposed to another, then the ‘gods’ had decreed such a thing. Of course, the priests and their kings knew exactly what would be happening, and would be merely conning the general public into handing over their power and consent. Such devious priestly machinations are also recorded in popular myth, such as the ‘prophecies’ of Merlin, the archetypal king’s shaman/priest.

Numerous myths developed on the theme of the Golden Age, ‘the beginning’ which was perfect, and moved into a period of strife in which gods and men experienced a ‘fall’ into chaos or sin and eventually a catastrophe – usually a great flood (the sea motif again representing whole of visible space) from which emerged another cycle, replete with a new messianic figure or hero (the sun emerging into another zodiacal house). And countless variations on this basic story have been told throughout the ages.

But only the early priests philosophers and educated aristocracies knew that the gods were the stars and planets. The general working classes were not educated enough to understand the complexities of geometry, maths and science needed to map, record and predict the cycles and seasons of earth and sky. So they were given superficial tales of gods and wars of the ages. And these tales would eventually coalesce into the religions we know today.

The earliest secret societies and mystery schools derived from the early scientific associations of these elite individuals, who grew to savour the power they maintained over the people because they possessed advanced knowledge which they passed down to their successors, whilst the general populace toiled in ignorance, and were effectively controlled by the priests and kings who could more effectively control them with a threat from the gods, than with a threat of physical force. Today, we are still ‘ruled’ by those who have had such advanced knowledge passed on to them through aristocratic bloodline heritage and inheritance via secret society networks which go back to Egypt, Babylon and Sumer.

An early branch of the secret societies was the early seafarers who were sent to new lands to exploit the mineral wealth of other countries, to bring it home and increase the wealth and prosperity of their kings and queens. Such ancient mariners needed to understand the nature of the heavens and the seasons to effectively navigate and return with their booty. This knowledge could be effectively encoded into popular tales and myths, whilst keeping rival cultures in the dark. (Zecharia Sitchin would treat this entire subject as evidence that the ‘alien gods’ used mankind as slaves to mine mineral wealth all over the world, and the fact that this occurred in areas as remote as South America and Sumer is also taken as evidence that they must have travelled in advanced craft – rather than the true explanation: they simply went in boats.)

The early Sumerians, Egyptians and Phoenicians, for example, sailed to the British isles to mine tin, gold, jet etc. Here they found a country populated by people who did not yet know the wealth of such minerals, and had not created an empire like theirs which depended upon such materials. They were organised into a great mining workforce by the early argonauts and were thus influenced by their beliefs and ‘mysteries’. The seafarers then would return to their own lands replete with mineral wealth, whilst guarding their secret sources jealously from other seafaring merchants and traders. As French researcher Gilbert Pillot revealed in his book, The Secret Code of the Odyssey, encoded into Homer’s Odyssey, is a detailed astronomical navigational manual for early mariners on how to sail from the Mediterranean to Britain and back.

One of the facts which one never sees in popular books on ancient monuments, leylines and New Age books on the ancient ‘masters’ etc. is the fact that all the ancient monuments in Britain are to be found in the ancient mining districts, where the early seafaring traders came to exploit the minerals of Britain. The reason why academia and New Age theorists cannot reconcile the advanced knowledge of how the primitive indigenous population came to build accurate cosmic clocks and maps such as Stonehenge, is because they were not the inventors of this technology. They also ignore the fact that Sumerian astronomical inscriptions were found on the altar stones of both Castlerigg and Stonehenge stone circles. How many times do we hear the repeated mantra that ‘nobody actually knows for sure who built these monuments and why’? Total rubbish!

We know that the Mesopotamians and Egyptians were far more advanced in that era than those in Britain, and it was they who needed and designed these monuments in the areas they had travelled hundreds and thousands of miles to exploit the local people’s manpower, in order that they could reap the minerals and return by sea to their homelands. These ancient travellers would, over time, travel as far as India, via the Indus, Peru, to Australia and New Zealand (where Egyptian and Phoenician inscriptions have been found), and China, where traces of the Sumerian/Egyptian cultures have been found in the shape of common mythologies and god names, the global use of ancient Sumerian ‘megalithic yard’ in building projects, pyramids, stone monuments, linguistic similarities etc.

There is absolutely no need to theorise and speculate that advanced beings or aliens erected these monuments, that they needed advanced spacecraft to travel such distances, nor that they are remnants of ‘pre-flood’ Atlantean culture etc.

So it is plain to see how massively important it was to create and maintain secret orders and disguise astronomical and astrological knowledge in coded myths and legends. The aristocratic bloodlines of old have continued to maintain their secret societies and secret knowledge up to the present day. They are still fermenting erroneous beliefs and religions to disguise the knowledge which would deliver their power into the hands of the masses. Today, we are well aware of the motions of the stars and planets and how to navigate the oceans, and yet the very myths created to secrete such knowledge in ancient times is still the subject of confusion and the source of religious and cultic belief systems, which are evolving into new religions and myths day by day.

So how does all this relate to Sitchin et al?

What is Nibiru?

Clearly the late Babylonian text of Enuma Elis, is concerned with explaining the Creation and clearly it has astronomical references. But Nibiru is a word that appears merely a few times in the entire text, and is therefore obviously not considered to be of such great import as would the very planet which created the world be, if that was ever the intended meaning.

But is Nibiru a planet at all?

According to the translations of many Sumerian scholars, Nibiru is a ‘station’ or a ‘star’. The meaning of which has often been thought of as ‘planet’, and yes, many of the ‘stations’ are planets – points of astronomical reference.

But Nibiru/Neberu only makes an appearance in the tale after the creation of the universe and the world by the god Marduk. The first thing Marduk does after his great achievement is ‘fashion stands (stations) for the great gods…set up constellations corresponding to them…marked out its divisions. Appointed three stars each to the twelve months…’ and then ‘… founded the stand of Nibiru to mark out their courses.’ (Dalley’s translation).

Does this not sound more like the deified memory of a king who is attributed to be the founder of astronomy, who founded a place from which to observe?

Over a thousand years before this epic was written, King Can came to Mesopotamia and founded the first Sumerian sun temple at Nippur. The temple was later dedicated to the god Enlil, who we have seen is a deified form of King Can. Marduk, is also deity based upon King Can. Essentially, Enlil ‘lived’ there as a cult statue. This place was Enlil/Marduk in the religious sense.

Nippur was an astronomical observatory and the temple was called Duranki (bond of heaven and Earth). The name Nippur is a modern rendering of Nibiru.

Could Nibiru not, then, merely be a word designated to the place from which the heavens were observed – a centre of astronomy – a ‘crossing place’. The full title was nibiru-ki – ‘crossing place of earth’? Surely a perfect title for a place where the heavens were observed from the earth, for a culture which believed that the earth was a reflection of the heavens and that their god reigned from the centre of both Earth (at Nippur) and heaven in a world pillar (temple) – as the bond of heaven and earth?

Marduk became the Creator – ‘maker’ of the heavens and earth – when in fact, this tale merely symbolises the mapping and observance of the order of the heavens.

Later in the text, Nibiru is given as a name of Marduk – one of 50 titles given to Marduk. But here Nibiru is named as ‘his star which is bright in the sky’. The meaning of which, although rather ambiguous, could easily be a reference to fixing one’s observations on a particular star of reference – the most common ‘fixed’ star of reference is the Pole Star. Another title of Marduk is given as Jupiter, though there are simply too many names and associations for Marduk to conclude that Nibiru was seen as any one thing specifically. Jupiter was in fact named after the first Sumerian king, who was the legendary ‘All-Father’, who was also associated with the sun. It isn’t difficult to see how this important planet would also be associated with Marduk, the god who replaced previous gods derived from the same source.

The Babylonians were keen astronomers, whose view of the heavens was intimately connected with their gods, whose heavenly places and activities were seen as being directly mirrored by places on Earth and mankind’s activities and destiny. When the cult of Marduk became the official state religion, a temple to Marduk was built in Babylon. His statue was considered to hold him on Earth, he was the Lord of everything – heaven and Earth – he was the ‘bond of heaven and earth’, also the centre, the crossing place (nibiru) of everything. Is there really any more to it than that?

Whether or not Nibiru will ever be definitely identified with one particular star, or planet, or astronomical reference point, or observatory – or more likely, all of them at once – the case is clear that Nibiru is NOT a rogue planet on a 3600 year orbit that caused the creation of the Earth; nor was it the bringer of ET gods to the planet either. Sitchin has massively mistranslated the ancient Sumerian language and exploited numerous ambiguities to suit his purpose.

Therefore, I feel that all New Age authors and gurus using Sitchin’s translations, or channelling Sitchin’s version of history, need to re-assess their position and ask themselves some very deep and searching questions. If Sitchin is so wrong, then so are countless books, websites and cult personalities who have relied on Sitchin’s work, either directly or indirectly. People who are following New Age gurus who are claiming to be the mouthpieces for aliens need to be aware that there is an agenda afoot to fool you with fantasy and disinformation. If your guru is channelling information about Planet X/Nibiru and the ET gods of Sumer, I would seriously suggest you reconsider the sanity and motivation of your guru, and also carefully reassess everything else they have ever told you.

Vimanas

Increasingly, it seems, Sitchinesque interpretations of ancient UFOs are being supported by additional information derived from Vedic sources relating to aerial craft flown by the gods, which are described as being ‘ancient airplanes’ or UFOs with enormous destructive capabilities etc.

The above information relating to the understanding of the concept of Nibiru will help us clarify what the texts actually mean by Vimana. Just as the Babylonian temple of Marduk was considered to be his ‘crossing place’ into the heavens, and the great pyramid of Giza was considered to be the pharaoh's (who was considered a god) ‘crossing station’ for his soul to ascend into the heavens, so were the Vedic Vimanas.

The basic meaning of vimana is a temple or place in which resides the essence of God or ‘a god’: this could be a religious temple, the human body, the heavenly bodies etc. Hence there are numerous references to temples in the Vedic texts which are called vimanas. The gods are also able to ride over the earth and into space in their vimanas. When we realise the sheer mass of references in ancient mythologies to the gods residing in the skies as stars and planets, as well as living in earthly temples, it is not difficult to understand the symbolic associations. The Vedic tales of gods flying through the skies and into space in their vimanas is little more than a derivation of the Egyptian concept of the ‘solar bark’, seen as the carrier of the sun through its daily cycle, the concept of the light body which ascends to the stars upon death etc. Such ‘vehicles’ are therefore, of course, described as ‘shining’ light vehicles. They are merely, in this sense, the embodiment of the ‘essence’ of the gods - the stars and planets and the inner essence which survives after death and is used as a ‘vehicle’ during shamanic journeys. Of course, the temple has always been a place of meditation in which people have taken spiritual ‘journeys’ within to find their inner selves, where the divine self ‘dwells’.

As the gods were viewed as the forces of nature, they were responsible, like Indra, Zeus and Thor etc. for bringing great calamity upon the earth and mankind in the forms of lighting, thunder, comets, meteors, floods, fierce winds etc. hence the vimana ‘craft’ of the gods are described as having monumental destructive capabilities.

Certain ‘Vedic’ texts appear to contain remarkably modern descriptions of instructions and diagrams on how to construct advanced aeroplane and rocket propelled vehicles - even what appear to be plasma-propulsion vehicles. There are numerous books and websites drawing on such texts as proof of ancient advanced technology. The effects of which, on the average reader, are very much like the effects experienced when one reads Sitchin for the first time, to find that the Sumerians made stark reference to spaceships and creator gods descending in UFOs to hybridise humanity in test tubes. A great many people are immediately convinced. ‘There it is in black and white, in ancient texts, what more proof do we need?’

However, things are not all they would appear. There are and have always been fake religious texts. There is also a propaganda division within the Illuminati which is dedicated to spreading this kind of myth, which employs agents across the board; from New Age channellers to university professors. There are also many religious charismatics who genuinely believe they are communicating with ETs or gods, who have enormous influence over their audience.

One of the most popular works on Vimana ‘UFOs’ is a book called ‘Vimana Aircraft of Ancient India & Atlantis’, by David Hatcher Childress. This book examines the vimana subject from the angle that ancient man had modern technology. It relies on the reproduction of a text known as the Vimaanika Shastra - purportedly an Ancient ‘Vedic’ text on the science of creating advanced flying machines, which first gained prominence in the 1970’s (like so many of these UFO-related ‘discoveries’). Unfortunately, for Childress and his readers, this text is not ancient at all, but was ‘channelled’ in the early 1900’s by a man named Shastry. The claim made that it was part of a work dating back several thousand years, is incorrect, but perhaps gives us all an indication of what lengths some religionists will go to to give credence to their own religion, or perhaps how easy it is for Intelligence agencies to misinform the people and send them looking in entirely the wrong direction for the truth.

Childress’s book also contains a classic of New Age lore - the relief from the Temple of Hathor at Dendera (right) in Egypt. This picture of an Egyptian holding what appears to be a lightbulb on a plinth, which has a snake as a filament and a lotus flower as the bayonet fixing to the ‘electric lead’, has been seen as proof that the ancients used the electric light. However, when one understands the ancient mythologies which claim that life/the world came from the sun (symbolised by a lotus - the bayonet fixing), in the form of the egg (the bulb itself), and from which emerged the life principle (almost universally symbolised by the snake/sun-spirit - the filament), one begins to realise what this picture is referring to. The egg also rests upon the pillar (other depictions have a god suspending the egg/sky - the world pillar mentioned earlier).

Another famous Egyptian artefact (below) was found at the temple in Abydos - a ’cartouche’ showing what appeared to be the engraving of a helicopter and other ‘craft’. However, it was later realised that the picture was a composite of two quite ordinary hieroglyphic texts laid over each other. The appearance of the helicopter on the artefact was actually an artefact itself, and was formed from two separate hieroglyphs - only resembling a helicopter to our modern eyes.

These are only a few examples of the way almost every historical enigma and ‘new’ discovery is being mangled through a haze of reinterpretation and being thrust out into the public arena with the tag ‘evidence of ancient aliens’. There are many more that could be included in the list, and equally shown to be innocent of such associations. Added to the misinterpretations are many out and out fakes. For an extensive examination of misinterpretations of ancient art, maps such as Piri Reis etc. please see http://www.sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_eng.htm

When the ambiguities and mystery is removed from what many consider to be an ‘enormous corpus of evidence’, we are left with a surprisingly tiny number of genuine enigmas, and evidence of advanced man-made craft being made and flown in the previous century. Simply, we have a secret programme using advanced ether-physics - as developed by Tesla - being disguised as alien UFOs, and further used to re-write history as a cover-story, developing into a new religion.

The Future of the ET myth?

If there are intergalactic travelling ETs out there in the universe, they are not being accurately represented by what seems to be the vast majority of writers. They are in fact being misrepresented by the Illuminati’s agents and victims of their massive propaganda campaign to hide very real Earth-based technology, as well as to bring in a new religion tailor-made for the New Aquarian age; just as Christianity was tailor made to update and absorb all previous religions to be used as a tool of social control for the Piscean Age.

That is, IF there are any intergalactic travelling aliens out there at all, and the whole thing hasn’t been a flight of fantasy and disinformation altogether. Isn’t it more probable that we have been victims of our own imaginations, fed by deliberately misleading propaganda and expectation implanted by the media and sci-fi writers of the past century?

The ‘alien threat’ was first recorded in apolitical sense in 1917 by Marxist Professor of philosophy John Dewey in a speech in New York: "Some one remarked that the best way to unite all the nations on this globe would be an attack from some other planet. In the face of such an alien enemy, people would respond with a sense of their unity of interest and purpose." Clearly, the idea had been around prior even to this. HG Wells had written his aliens from Mars invasion saga, War of the Worlds, in 1898 at the same time as Tesla was building his first ether-technology-driven antigravity craft. Wells was a close associate and inner-circle member of the Illuminati’s Committee of 300 (according to John Coleman’s book of the same name). Wells also wrote works such as ‘The New World Order’, ‘The Shape of Things to Come’ and ‘The Open Conspiracy: Plans for a World Revolution’, which described the creation of a utopian One World Government through a covert coalition of people acting behind the scenes to influence world affairs in a single desired direction.

The alien threat hit the headlines in 1938 when Orson Welles broadcast his radio version of War of the Worlds, which sent millions of Americans into sheer panic, as they believed that aliens were actually descending upon them. This was a psychological warfare experiment, set up and orchestrated by members of the Council on Foreign Relations, who were also lecturers in psychology and sociology, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

The next major event occurred in the 1940’s with the Roswell incident and the beginning of the UFO ‘flap’ which has continued to the present day. Increasingly, the Illuminati-controlled media has been pushing out movies and books about UFOs and aliens

– effectively designing the images which people would later claim to have seen for real in abduction experiences; as well as writing the scripts which would later be ‘channelled’ by New Age ‘contactees’ and gurus.

The early ‘aliens’ described by ‘contactees’ were usually described as quite human, but with the release of Close Encounters in the late 1970’s, all attention was turned to the ‘greys’. Books began to start coming out all over the place describing abductions by the greys, such as Whitley Streiber’s Communion. However, as the Truth Campaign magazine has documented over the years, abductions and microchipping of victims accompanied by instilled memories of aliens can be traced right back to military abductions and the CIA mind control project known as MK-Ultra.

Books by Sitchin and Von Daniken appeared around the same time in the 1970’s which stirred a massive interest in the revision of history, offering aliens and UFOs as plausible solutions to historical enigmas.

Since then, hundreds of books have been published in the New Age movement and the conspiracy movement which have given a huge spectrum of information on what is ‘out there’. They range from ‘channelled’ books such as The Only Planet of Choice (exposed as being linked to secret psychological operations and mind control in the book The Stargate Conspiracy by Prince and Picknett), to conspiracy works such as Behold a Pale Horse (by Bill Cooper, who would later retract his allegations of alien interaction and state that he had been fed such information by Intelligence agents even higher than he to provide the illusion of a reliable ‘insider’ witness to such activities). They appear to give a range of choices to the reader from there being a ‘command’ centre of advanced alien ‘gods’ which are helping humanity, sometimes aiding us against ‘bad’ races of ETs, to secret government collusion with aliens who have bases on Earth and are sharing their technology in return for various ‘favours’. The spectrum of choices the reader has is huge, and most of the proffered scenarios contradict and conflict with each other in fundamental details, but the common element is always ‘the ETs are out there’. Despite much opinion to the contrary, the governments and secret government are far from ‘hiding’ the truth about alien visitation, they are actively spreading the myth whilst using psychological techniques to make it appear like they are trying to hide the truth through open official denials, and inadequate debunking attempts, which has the effect of making the ‘cover-up’ so obvious that most people feel as though they can disassemble and debunk the ‘official’ debunking. To the average UFO enthusiast there is simply ‘too much evidence’, too many books and too many witnesses to simply dismiss the ETs; in fact, the presence of ETs appears to have been more than adequately proved.

The main reference, often seen as the ‘ultimate proof’, has been to Sitchin’s translations of the Sumerian texts. ‘You can’t argue with the clear references in texts that old to “rockets” and “space travel”’, they say. And to so many believers the case is closed right there.

However, recently, I have noticed that there appears to be a new wave developing. Books and websites are beginning to ignore Sitchin. It appears that Sitchin has served his purpose in generating strong beliefs regarding aliens in ancient texts etc. Now there are numerous researchers bringing in new angles which seem to appease those who have seen through the smokescreen of the New Age channellers and the works of Sitchin, and who have educated themselves as to the existence of very real UFO technology developed right here since Tesla. For these people a new scenario has been put forward by the likes of the ‘Disclosure Project’. That is, there are real aliens out there and we need to know about them, but the governments are hiding this real information behind a smokescreen of lies, whilst building UFOs themselves and sponsoring fake alien propaganda to hide the reality. To prove this, the Project has assembled numerous ‘insider’ testimonies to this effect. There is basically an ET ‘belief’ net for everyone to get caught in – from the naïve ‘believer’ in just about anything ET-related, to the educated sceptic who knows that there has to be an answer, and that answer must be reasonable. So far, the Disclosure Project seems the most reasonable yet. But then again, it has to, doesn’t it?

Other authors seem to be following another angle which is placing ‘reptilian’ creatures in the frame as being the ‘baddies’ from space. And again, they are looking to ancient texts to support their theories. Whilst authors like David Icke are taking valuable works such as Waddell and splicing it with Sitchin to support his theory of an ancient reptilian race interbreeding with the aristocracies which then and now control the world, other authors are disassembling Sitchin’s credibility but repeating the same technique of misquoting and mistranslating old myths to try and show that there has been a significant influence on mankind by reptilian creatures.

Oh what a tangled web we weave!

Myth-making is more rampant today than it ever was in our past. Myths are creating myths at such a pace today that it is becoming increasingly difficult to trace them to their origins. The average ET and UFO enthusiast now has enough material to last them a lifetime’s reading. And still, they may never read a truthful work.

If we extrapolate this process a couple of decades into the future, how much material will there be like Sitchin’s and the new revisions of such works, that will provide for your average reader overwhelming evidence of the ETs in UFOs and ancient ET gods from space?

It will be so easy then to reign-in the diversity of ideas and beliefs into a central thesis which would contain and ‘explain’ all enigmas relating to the subject, thereby leaving us with a narrow frame of reference, a core belief system, which would carefully be fashioned into a New World Religion. One which not only unites all world religions, but also updates them and explains away the contradictions.

Sounds unlikely, I agree. But it has happened before. The Romans played the same trick when they created New Testament Christianity. They combined elements from all the religions and cults in their empire and then imposed it upon the world. And the tyrants of the ages have used it since then as a means to manipulate the world, causing untold suffering and destruction of knowledge over the past 2000 years. It was the ultimate tool in the Illuminati’s arsenal, but it’s effectiveness has waned as knowledge has progressed and fewer people are willing to accept the authority of the Bible and its priests. However, a new scientifically up to date version of the old mythologies could be a supremely powerful tool in the Illuminati’s arsenal if it were handled correctly. The priests of the New Age would be able to employ all the old tricks to con the people of the truthfulness of their gods’ reality, such as using science to predict earth-changes, or cosmic events and well-ahead of time spread mythologies about how the alien gods are going to orchestrate an event to show the people of the earth their existence – the Planet X theory is already gaining support through reports that natural phenomena such as earth-tremors are being caused by its gravitational pull as it nears the Earth; or how about a mass UFO fly-by, or fake alien invasion scenario..? Let your imagination wander and see how you would orchestrate such events to create ‘proof’ of the ET gods reality. Do it first, before ‘they’ do it to you, and you won’t be surprised when it comes.

I can only offer my personal view and experience, as well as the data that I have collated during my academic research. I remain open to new ideas and theories. But I also need rhyme and reason which correlates with other data, both internal/ intuitive and external/evidential. If a thing exists, it follows certain laws and patterns which are ultimately reasonable and logical.

I am still to be convinced of the interaction of space aliens with mankind, and I cannot simply place faith in the material that I have so far seen, considering how many frauds, misinterpretations and deliberate secret-government propaganda plots there are in this whole field of study. Although I can see why so many people do place faith in such material, charismatic personalities, or religions. We are all searching for answers – and ultimately ‘the Answer’ to life, the universe and everything – just as did our ancient forebears. And we are just as liable to get the answers wrong, or misinterpret the data, or have others manipulate us with that same data as were our ancient forebears.

Faith, as professed by many religions, is a great and powerful thing, but blind faith in what we are told to believe, without reasonable verification against the known facts, is one of the most easily manipulated and destructive factors in our history.

It is time for us to become active thinkers rather than passive receivers, if we are ever going to understand ourselves and our place in Creation. And if we fail to understand this, then we will simply continue to be marionettes going round and round in circles, or whichever direction the string-pullers wish to move us.
