Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This
is especially true if they were told that there were an outside
threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that
threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of
the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one
thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this

Greetings UFOlks,
It's more than a little ironic for me to be "defending" Greer on
this issue as I was never a fan of his until he published this
white paper (and a different pre 911 version I believe) where
he warned about the spin the Government, Military, Industrial
Complex/Intelligence Community might put on their eventual
release of "the truth" about UFOs as alien technology.
However, I have always agreed with Greer's detractors that his
mixing multiple issues (each deserving their own focus, IMO)
into his attempts at getting the Government to acknowledge "the
reality of UFOs", ultimately sabotages those efforts.
But as for this issue of Shadowy Cabals and UFO Deceptions ...
there is more to it than some on this List seem willing to
acknowledge.
Firstly, I think it should be pointed out that this same article
by Greer appeared on this list back in June 2002: Cosmic
Deception: Let The Citizen Beware
http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/upd ... -010.shtmlAnd a transcript of his discussion of this topic with Art Bell
can be found here
http://www.disclosureproject.org/artbelljune172002.htmSecondly, this issue of the actual and potential human hand in
misusing UFO mimicry technologies and techniques is well
established by researchers like Jacques Vallee and other
authors. See his 1979 Messengers of Deception, 1975 Invisible
College but more recently in his 1991 book Revelations and his
1996 novel Fastwalker. (excerpt/citation 1 below)
Thirdly, upon which fronts might our listers object to the
various "Manufactured Enemy" hypotheses, whether they relate to
Staged Alien Invasions, British "Martian" Strategems or 911
Parapolitical Fact? The individual accusations within Greer's
declaration? Or Greer himself? Apparently it is simply on Greer
himself as much of what he discusses in this article is
legitimate and of much concern.
... on the very issue of whether groups of humans have ever
considered manufacturing enemies:
Within the ParaUfological realms...
In Vallee's 1979 MoD he cites the declassified info in the
excellent book on WWII disinformation machinery, Bodyguard of
Lies, that describes the massive "double cross" efforts of the
LCS, London Controlling Section (referred to by the Brits as the
"Martians") that facilitated the allied victory. He speculates
about these same Psy-Op tactics and technologies continuing
their disinformation efforts after the war - only this time to
prevent another World War by uniting humanity against a common
enemy. Vallee goes on to document the common military tactic and
meme of manufacturing an enemy in order to rally populations for
into a unified force, whether it be to start a war with the
perceived enemy or to prevent a war by uniting countries against
a common outside threat, be it "Terrorism" or
"Extraterrestrials". He cites several late 1940s era science
fiction novels dealing with the theme of using an
extraterrestrial threat to unite the world. He cites the
infamous Report From Iron Mountain hoax which outlines an
allegedly tongue-in-cheek thesis for why war is the best way to
ensure economic stability and how the invention of threats, be
they extraterrestrial or ecological, would be necessary.

accomplish the rallying of the people against an enemy, this
idea is commonly referred to as Strategies of Tension and

Americans onboard, sniper attacks in DC, destruction of
America's premier spacecraft, and other staged terror attacks.
The authenticity of the Operation Northwoods document has not
been questioned in any mainstream fashion though it was
acknoweldged pre 911 in news articles by ABCnews, the Baltimore

Notes/Excerpts/Citations
1 - Jacques Vallee on UFO Deception Theory
From an interview in Jonathan Vankin's 70 Greatest Conspiracies
The military may be experimenting with psychological warfare
techniques, as the Germans did in World War I, when they
projected images of the Virgin Mary on banks of smoke in an
effort to spook the French into saying their Rosaries instead of
killing Germans. Vallee also thinks that sham UFO reports might
be used as cover for tests of new military stealth technology.
But the most troubling "deception theory" Vallee poses is that
from time to time, the target of UFO hoaxes might be the general
public, or a segment thereof.
"In some cases," he says, "the community of ufologists may
simply be used in a sociological experiment because they are a
convenient group of people to test, to see how they react to
different rumors."
Sounds a bit improbable, but Vallee's research into the growth
of UFO "contactee" cults is suggests that such manipulation
occurs. In his book, Messengers of Deception, Vallee explored
the rise of a new kind of religious movement throughout the
world: the UFO Messiah cults, in which believers await the
coming of bubble-headed saviors in saucers. You can find these
groups in Europe and the Americas, in increasing numbers.
60GCAT: So there might be military applications for this
technology of deception?
Vallee: Our gods have always come from the sky. And how would a
god come from the sky today? He would come down in some kind of
space ship. He couldn't just appear out of the clouds, I mean,
that won't work. Although in World War I the Germans were using
psychological warfare by projecting photographs, slides, along
French lines. And I'm sure the French were doing the same thing
to the Germans. And there are very sophisticated devices now
being used in psychological warfare to create holograms, to
create visions to influence people.
http://conspire.com/val3.htmlJacques Vallee on the Human Misuse of UFOs for Deception and
Mass Control
"I believe there is a machinery of mass manipulation behind the
UFO phenomenon. It aims at social and political goals by
diverting attention from some human problems and by providing a
potential release for tensions caused by others. The contactees
are part of that machinery. They are helping to create a new
form of belief: an expectation of actual contact among large
parts of the public. In turn this expectation makes millions of
people hope for the imminentrealization of that age-old dream:
salvation from above, surrender to the greater power of some
wise navigators of the cosmos. . . . However, if you take the
trouble to join me in the analysis of the modern UFO myth, you
will see human beings under the control of a strange force that
is bending them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a
bizarre game of deception. This role may be very important if
changing social conditions make it desirable to focus the
attention of the public on the distant stars while obsolete
human institutions are wiped out and rebuilt in new ways. Is
this the deeper meaning of the UFO `deception'? Are the
manipulators, in the final analysis, nothing more than a group
of humans who have mastered a very advanced form of power? . . .
Let me summarize my conclusions thus far. UFOs are real. They
are an application of psychotronic technology; that is, they are
physical devices used to affect human consciousness. They may
not be from outer space; they may, in fact, be terrestrial-based
manipulating devices. Their purpose may be to achieve social
changes on this planet." Jacques Vallee, from Messengers of
Deception
Simon Harvey-Wilson on Vallee's book Revelations and French UFO
Deceptions
Cergy-Pontoise. Even if various government are involved in UFO
deception, their motives and methods may vary considerably. The
apparent abduction of Franck Fontaine at Cergy-Pontoise on the
outskirts of Paris in November 1979 is a good example. The story
is quite complex and is described in several UFO books (Evans,
1984). Franck and a couple of his friends were loading their
car with clothes to sell on their stall in a market about sixty
kilometres away. They had got up before dawn and, while the
others brought the clothes down from their flat, Franck remained
in the car to stop it stalling. They then saw a brilliantly
shining UFO and several smaller lights near the car and, after
some confusion, Franck was found to be missing. The incident was
reported to the police and received nation-wide publicity. One
week later Franck reappeared near where he had disappeared and
was amazed to discover that he had been missing for so long.
Most books that mention it leave the case open, however in
Jacques Vallee's book Revelations: Alien Contact and Human
Deception (1991, p.149) we get quite a different story. Vallee
quotes an unnamed official from French Air Force headquarters
who, in November 1980, admitted that the Cergy-Pontoise
abduction had actually been carried out by the French government
in order to observe the reactions and behaviour of the police,
media, scientific investigators and the public. The abduction
had been authorised by a member of the French cabinet and no
more than fifteen people knew what had happened. Franck Fontaine
had been grabbed, kept drugged in a secure place for a week and
then returned to where he had been abducted without knowing what
had really happened to him. Vallee advises that, to eliminate
such official deception in future, abductees should be promptly
checked for syringe marks and given blood and urine tests to
check for any knockout drugs. If Vallee's report is true, we
have the ironic situation of a leading Western government trying
to fool the public into thinking that UFO abductions do exist,
rather that their usual denials. The question that ufologists
may need to ask themselves now, is whether other countries carry
out similar fake abductions to assess public reactions, and if
so, how often do they do it? UFOs, Disinformation and Deception
by Simon Harvey-Wilson Journal of Alternative Realities Vol 8,
Issue 1, 2000
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~amilani/jour8.html2 - Report From Iron Mountain
The report included a number of recommendations that the
government should follow just in case peace did break out. For
instance, it suggested that a number of expensive institutions
be created that would mimic the economic function of a war, such
as: "(a) A comprehensive social-welfare program, directed toward
maximum improvement of general conditions of human life. (b) A
giant open-end space research program, aimed at unreachable
targets. (c) A permanent, ritualized, ultra-elaborate
disarmament inspection system, and variant of such a system."
The report also recommended that the government invent
"alternate enemies." For instance, it could mobilize the
population by scaring them with reports of extraterrestrial
threats, massive global environmental pollution, or "an
omnipresent, virtually omnipotent international police force."
Alternatively, the population could be roused by "socially
oriented blood games" done "in the manner of the Spanish
Inquisition and the witch trials of other periods."

January 2002
"The planning for "terrorist attacks" and the domestic and
international response has been going on for nearly 30 years
now, with rising levels of sophistication and demand for
control. . . .
There were many things that could have been done differently in
the last 30 years to end war, terrorism and violence worldwide.
The United States not only failed to do them, it often did the
opposite. But building a military/intelligence/security
apparatus as the sole response possible or desireable insures
much more profit, social control and ultimate concentration of
power than the path that might lead to real security and peace.
Those wishing the latter were rarely consulted by the planners.
At some point, did all this preparatory thinking come to be
self-fulfilling prophecy awaiting only it's triggering incident?
We have many other examples of this same apparatus both
encouraging and standing aside for other violent actions that
became the excuse for repressive responses. In Europe it is
known as a "strategy of tension" that ultimately puts the hired
guns in charge of the ranch."

4 - Relevance of Antonio Negri to the Anti-Globalization
Movement
What's missing from the usual biographies of Toni Negri is the
charge that it took him far too long to come to the now commonly
accepted conclusions that 1) the terrorist campaign inaugurated
by the bombing of the Piazza Fontana in Milano on 12 December
1969 wasn't the work of either the far-left (the anarchists) or
the far-right (the fascists), but the Italian secret services;
and 2) this campaign -- now called "the strategy of tension" --
wasn't undertaken to destabilize or topple the government, but
to provide a pretext for its most reactionary elements to
strengthen themselves against an increasingly strong and
effective working class movement. The situationist Gianfranco
Sanguinetti came to these conclusions as early as 19 December
1969, when he published the extraordinary tract Is the Reichstag
Burning? In the following years, as State-sponsored terrorism
against targets in Italy became more common and more obvious,
Sanguinetti returned to the subject a couple of times: first in
The True Report on the Last Chance to Save Capitalism in Italy
(published in July 1975 and reprinted many times afterwards),
and then again in Remedy to Everything (also known as On
Terrorism and the State), which was published in Italy in 1979
and in France in 1980. Relentlessly persecuted by the Italian
government for his writings, Sanguinetti was vindicated in 1982,
when the so-called P2 scandal brought to light documents that
irrefutably proved that the Italian government had indeed been
employing "the strategy of tension" since the end of the 1960s
and through-out the 1970s.
http://www.notbored.org/negri.html5 - Threats to Democracy: The Radical Right in Italy After the
War, Chapters 4 thru 6
This book represents the first systematic research by a social
scientist on the radical right-wing movements in Italy since
1945. During the heyday of right-wing violence between 1969 and
1980, street aggressions, attacks, and murders were commonplace.
These bloody episodes were assumed to be the work of fanatical
bands of "political soldiers" and urban warriors loosely
controlled by secret services and other covert groups, which
used them as part of a "strategy of tension" pursued in domestic
and international circles. Franco Ferraresi here acknowledges
that these rightist groups were in fact permitted a certain
amount of freedom, and even in some cases actually aided, in the
hope that revulsion at terrorist tactics would have the effect
of mobilizing public opinion in favor of existing political
arrangements. However, he also studies the extent to which they
operated as autonomous units, while he carefully considers the
political heritage, the doctrines, and the ideology that
motivated them.
With the decline of violent activity on both extremes of the
political spectrum in the early 1980s, the theory and practice
so comprehensively discussed by Ferraresi seemed to have entered
a dormant stage. Ferraresi, however, places in context the
recent resurgence of neo-fascist forces in Italy, and of the so-
called New Right throughout Europe, together with the rise of
fundamentalism in many parts of the world.

Transcribed excerpt (by the ever-active Brian Redman of
Conspiracy Nation fame) from a broadcast by Dave Emory on KFJC
radio in Los Altos Hills, California. In this show, Emory
discusses the 1987 book, The Ultimate Evil, journalist Maury
Terry's investigation of the Son of Sam murders.
Mae Brussell has been pointing out, for a number of years, her
thesis -- which has endured, by the way, a lot of scorn at the
hands of many people -- that in fact all of these serial killers
were, in fact, a form of agent provocateur. What this is,
basically, according to Mae's thesis (and it appears to be borne
out in terrifying fashion and degree by this particular book) is
that this is a type of application of the "strategy of tension".
That is you take a society and you unleash all of these
horrendous screwball killers -- or killers we're told are
screwballs -- it has the effect of driving the political
spectrum to the "right". People want "law and order". They want
stronger laws, more cops, more jails, quicker capital
punishment. And in general, it predisposes them to accepting the
incredible. It's just, "Well with all those 'nuts' out there,
you never know who's gonna do what." So, if 900 people "commit
suicide" in the jungle under preposterous circumstances, or if
"lone nuts" come foreward and begin killing politicians, it...
there's a context in which that occurs.
But again, this is a way of driving people to the "right". These
horrible killings, these apparent screwballs running all over
the place, just gives the impression of a society that is
decaying. "What we need is 'law and order.'" "We need a
Fuehrer." "We need someone to set this right." We need.......

April 30, 2001 - Pentagon Proposed Pretexts for Cuba Invasion in
1962
In his new expose of the National Security Agency entitled Body
of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals
on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION
NORTHWOODS. This document, titled "Justification for U.S.
Military Intervention in Cuba" was provided by the JCS to
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the
key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request
from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the
Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer
various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba.
These proposals - part of a secret anti-Castro program known as
Operation Mongoose - included staging the assassinations of
Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake "Communist
Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities
and even in Washington," including "sink[ing] a boatload of
Cuban refugees (real or simulated)," faking a Cuban airforce
attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a "Remember the
Maine" incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and
then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. Bamford himself
writes that Operation Northwoods "may be the most corrupt plan
ever created by the U.S. government." Chairman, Joint Chiefs of

Joseph Watson
Military-industrial psy-ops has considered such programs before
Let's delve into the evidence of how technological deception has
been considered before, as a means of misleading populations.
The Kennedy era, anti-Castro covert action plan Operation
Mongoose was designed to destabilize Cuban society and turn it
against Fidel Castro. Under the umbrella of this strategy was a
program dubbed 'Elimination by Illumination.' It is found in the
Congressional Record, in "Alleged Assassination Plots Involving
Foreign Leaders, Interim Report of the Select Committee to Study
Government Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities,"
November 20, 1975. The plan was developed by an American
Intelligence military psy-op specialist named Edward Lansdale.
The operation was to have an American Submarine surface inside
Havana harbor at night and project a movie of a Jesus-like
figure on the underside of the low-lying clouds that form over
the harbor at night. A plane with muffled motors was to have
circled just above the clouds while another operative with a
loudspeaker exhorted the Cubans below to overthrow "Godless
Communism."
The plan was never put into action but was seriously considered
and, as stated, remains in the Congressional Record to this day.
An almost exact replica of this proposal came to light in a June
2000 Sydney Morning Herald report.
In 1991 during the Gulf War, top brass of the US Air Force drew
up plans to project a giant holographic image of Allah over
Baghdad. The scale of the project dictated a mirror several
kilometres across up in space. However, a more practical method
was suggested. When warm air lies on top of cold air, the
difference in density is enough to bend light. At higher
altitudes, a mirage can make whole landscapes appear in the sky.
An artificial mirage could in theory be made by heating the
atmosphere with radio waves or microwaves. The USAF then had the
problem of making the image appear to speak. They postulated, "a
pulse stream, an internal acoustic field of 5- 15KHz can be
created which is audible. Thus it may be possible to 'talk' to
adversaries in a way which would be most disturbing to them."
