Flying saucer mythology took hold in a big way in the 1950s, wrapped in gaudy pulp covers and flashed on movie screens. Jack Parsons, the CalTech rocket pioneer and high priest of the OTO's Agape Lodge in Pasadena - and one of the first Americans to report a UFO sighting - was addicted to science fiction. He regularly attended meetings of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society, where in 1945 the black adept (he took "the Oath of the Anti-Christ" in 1949) met Lt. Commander L. Ron Hubbard, who made "alien" visitations an integral part of a religious doctrine he called Scientology.

The OTO was founded between 1895 and 1900 by a pair of powerful Freemasons, Karl Kellner and Theodor Reuss. Politically, the order was right-wing in the extreme, proposing the creation of a pan-German world based on pagan spiritual beliefs. Kellner died in 1905, and Reuss, a former spy for the Prussian Secret Service, assumed the office of high caliph. While living in London, Reuss spied on German socialist expatriates. In 1912 he made the acquaintance of Aleister Crowley, and appointed him head of the OTO's British chapter. But The Beast's political loyalties have always been an open question.

While living in the States, he wrote pro-German diatribes for two fascist publications, The Fatherland and The Internationalist. After WW II, there were calls for his head. But Crowley offered that his pro-German stance was a ruse of MI6, the military intelligence division in the UK.

In 1912 he had informed the secret service of his correspondence with Reuss, the German spy. Throughout the '20s and '30s, Crowley gathered intelligence on European Communists, the Nazi movement and Germany's occult lodges.

Driver's booze, LSD-laced 'time travel' crash lands prison term
By Bryan Fitzgerald
Updated 8:08 am, Friday, May 17, 2013

Terrence Rudes (Saratoga County District Attorney's Office photo)


Terrence Rudes thought his trip would take him back in time.

It earned him prison time instead.

In September, Rudes tried to do his best "Back to the Future" impression by mixing LSD and alcohol and then trying to drive his car into another vehicle because he "thought I could time travel and drive through (the other car) ... I wanted to see what would happen."

The laws of physics, however, did not comply. Neither did the laws of New York state.

Rudes crashed into another vehicle and injured the driver.

On Thursday, Rudes, 22, of Ballston Lake was sentenced to 1½ to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty to vehicular assault.

"This defendant mixed alcohol and drugs and believed he could time travel like the movie 'Back to the Future,'" Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy said. "He told the police that he intentionally drove into the other car to see what would happen."

The crash occurred Sept. 17 on Church Avenue. Rudes crossed a double-yellow line and collided head-on with the other car.

"The driver of the other vehicle is fortunate to have only suffered injury and not death," Murphy said.

Rudes will also have his license revoked for one year and have to have an interlock device on his vehicle for three years.

(and a few men, like Jay Parker) who claim they were subjected to stupefyingly complex mind control programming by agents of the U.S. government as part of an MK-ULTRA sub-program they call the Monarch Project.


Recently, I came across Jay Parker's videos where he tells his story. Having lived right across the street from Arden Delaware for over ten years, I found it especially interesting. After looking into it, I found a connection between the "Buzz Ware" (the Buzz Ware Village Center http://ardenbuzz.com/ which used to be the school) he talks about and the Ware Group which tried to overthrow the American government. Hamilton "Buzz" Ware is the brother of Harold Ware, who managed the Ware Group until his strange death. It was then taken over by Whittaker Chambers. Buzz was also the son of "Mother" Bloor, who was an American labor organizer and long-time activist in the socialist and communist movements. Arden is a "utopian", single-tax community founded in 1900 noted for its arts, crafts, and theater. The other community he mentioned, Rose Valley, PA, was also founded in 1900 and has a theater as well.

When my kids were in Kindergarten, they went to the Buzz Ware Center for after school care. They always complained about going without giving me an explanation as to why. Since they only went a few days a week, and they never gave me a reason, I dismissed it. Today they're 24-years old and when I mentioned it, they immediately told me how much they hated it there, but, once again, couldn't give me a reason. Jay Parker mentioned some type of handheld instrument they use to hypnotize the children so they won't remember anything afterwards. I know I sound paranoid but after listening to Jay, I worry that they might have been victims. It's just so hard to believe that stuff like this goes on, especially within groups of people who appear so harmless.

Also, Jay's "Illuminati" grandparents lived in PA, in the town where I grew up. I would love to know his mother's maiden name! His mother taught at a school I'm very familiar with, which he claimed was full of Satanic activity. It's a very expensive school. Tuition is well over $20,000/year, so most of the kids who attend come from wealthy families...more than a few du Ponts, who, Jay claimed, were/are Satanic. My daughter was friends of one of the du Pont's groundskeeper who lived on the duPont property in a small house in a very wooded area. The du Pont mansion was about a mile away through these woods. At the time I didn't even know what a Satanist was, but I was so creeped out by something (I don't know what) I wouldn't let her spend the night. Oddly enough, at a later date, I ran into this girl's parents in Arden...they acted as if they never met me. I chalked it up to not allowing my daughter to spend the night. Because after that, we never heard from them again. On the other hand, my ex brother-in-law dated a Dupont, and she couldn't have been nicer.

Here is the original post which mentioned Jay Parker:

American Dream wrote:
Illuminati Slaves Part I: Cisco Wheeler

The story of Cisco Wheeler is unique not only because of her long-term collaboration with lay minister-cum-bank-robber Fritz Springmeier, but because she and Fritz have given the world step-by-step instructions on how to create virtual zombies with "trauma-based mind control".

Cisco Wheeler is one of several women (and a few men, like Jay Parker) who claim they were subjected to stupefyingly complex mind control programming by agents of the U.S. government as part of an MK-ULTRA sub-program they call the Monarch Project. Generally, these people have no conscious recall of their involvement with the project, and must "recover" their "repressed" memories with the aid of hypnosis, journaling, and/or deprogramming.

Monarch Project women are a whole other post. For now, I'll just say that one of the most disconcerting things about the Monarch women is that, almost without exception, they have male "handlers" who have allegedly deprogrammed them. These men accompany them on speaking tours, co-author their books, sit beside them during interviews, and in some cases even marry them.

Fritz Springmeier served this role for Cisco Wheeler. Springmeier is a Christian conspiranoid, recently released from prison after serving time for bombing a porno shop and robbing a bank (you can learn a bit more about him on a Leaving Alex Jonestown post). You may remember him from the post on John Todd (he vociferously defended Todd long after Todd had been discredited, and used a lot of Todd's make-believe family history in his book The Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines).

At the time Cisco met him in the early '90s, Springmeier was a married father running some sort of ministry out of his house.

Building on earlier Monarch Project accounts and Christian Patriot conspiracy tales, Springmeier and Wheeler crafted an Illuminati mythos that has had a tremendous influence on the fringier conspiracy theorists. You can't get very far into the conspiranoia labyrinth without running into their massive self-published tome, The Illuminati Formula Used to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave, first issued in 1996.

Cisco's Story

You'd think The Illuminati Formula, being heavily based on Cisco Wheeler's "memories", would be chock-full of information about her. It isn't. In fact, so little is known of Wheeler's background that we don't even known what her real name is (it's variously given as Linda Johnson or Linda Anderson, though she maintains her maiden name is Wheeler). She was born in the late 1940s, possibly in the Western U.S. Other than that, the woman is a cipher. She rarely gives interviews, and the only available photo of her is a blurry snapshot perhaps taken at a speaking engagement.

Image
Cisco Wheeler, I guess.
Could also be Mickey Roarke.


Her supposed background

Cisco claims her father's uncle was "General Earl Grant Wheeler... a direct descendant of Ulysses Grant... [and] head of the American military in the Vietnam War." (1) There are some problems with this:

General Earle Gilmore Wheeler (d. 1975) was not related to Ulysses S Grant.
So far as I can determine, he did not have any siblings.

Cisco's paternal ancestors were Illuminati members, and Cisco's birth was planned according to Illuminati "rules". Her father married her mother solely because she was a virtuous Christian woman, and part of the Illuminati's New World Order scheme at that time (the late '40s) was to infiltrate and undermine Christian churches (something also described by John Todd, the first supposed Illuminati member to go public). To this end, Mr. Wheeler became an ordained Pentacostal minister. But that was not his only source of income. In the '60s, he and his uncle (General Wheeler) smuggled drugs out of Vietnam in the bodies of dead U.S. soldiers.

It has long been rumoured that heroin smugglers used soldiers' corpses or coffins to hide their shipments during 'Nam, and infamous New York-based dealer Frank Lucas even bragged about leading this so-called "Cadaver Connection". However, there's no evidence that anyone ever actually used the technique. A key member of Lucas's ring, Leslie "Ike" Atkinson, told journalist Ron Chepesiuk the entire notion was a hoax. (2)

Image
Protip: Sometimes, heroin traffickers lie.

The Illuminati according to Herr Springmeier

Springmeier identifies the Illuminati as a Luciferian organization, also known as Moriah or simply the Circle, headed by a Grande Druid Council. In 1996, when The Illuminati Formula first appeared, the Circle supposedly contained millions of members worldwide. Membership is usually conferred by birth, but recruitment takes place on a limited scale. Rigorous obedience to some sort of code of conduct is required of each and every member, and some degree of mind control is de rigeur. Those who do not submit are dispatched in "ritual gladiator type duels". Escape is next to impossible. "Unless God intervenes, people who are born into the Illuminati don’t escape it while alive." (3)

Like all Illuminati members, Cisco's father worshiped Satan and took part in many arcane rituals, including human sacrifice. Cisco was forced to participate in this lifestyle against her will, much as Lauren Stratford claimed to have been. She was trained up to be a Mother of Darkness, or high priestess, within the Illuminati. Just like John Todd, Edna Moses, and Bill Schnoebelen, Cisco ties homicidal Satanism firmly to Catholics (particularly Jesuits), Freemasons, and Wiccans. She claims her father was a 33rd degree Freemason.

The oldest child in her family, she was selected for trauma-based mind control programming before she was even born. In fact, she says she was first traumatized while in utero. The purpose of the abuse was to traumatize Cisco so severely she would dissociate and develop Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder. This "trauma-based mind control", according to the Monarch Project survivors, is a combination of every kind of mind control technique known to man. Through the skillful use of torture, hypnosis, drugs, and conditioning, Illuminati programmers create DID in children, then program each alternate personality ("alter") to perform a specific function. For instance, one alter might be a sex slave and another an assassin. Each one would be programmed to emerge at a spoken command, carry out whatever actions a controller wished him/her to do, then disappear with another spoken command. The core personality (Cisco) and the other alters would experience a fugue state and remain completely unaware that anything unusual had occurred. Springmeier tells us the techniques were honed by the Nazis and their collaborators; prior to WWII, the Illuminati used more "primitive" methods of mind control. We are to believe that the programmers' methods were already so sophisticated by the late 1940s that they could ensure no "leakage" or co-consciousness would occur among the alters.

Cisco's programming took place in hospitals and military installations throughout California and Oregon, including China Lake Naval Base. She was also taken to Scotty's Castle in Arizona. Her primary programmers were her own father, who went by the codename "Dr. Black", and a mysterious German known as "Dr. Green". Cisco eventually realized that Dr. Green was Josef Mengele. She believes Mengele was active in every state of the union, plus Canada, and sometimes went by names other than Green ("Fairchild" was another alias). Bizarrely, he continued to wear his German uniform well into the '50s, while working at American military installations and hospitals.

According to Springmeier, Mengele had achieved the rank of Grand Master in the Illuminati, and would go on to achieve the even higher rank of Ipsissimus. ("Ipsissimus" was reportedly the title of a grade within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, though that continues to be disputed, and was later adopted by Aleister Crowley for his own magickal system. It is not a term found beyond this extremely small group of occult practitioners.) As Grand Master, Springmeier explains, Mengele was skilled in Kabbalistic magic, abortions, torture, and programming children. We know Mengele was capable of torture, and he could certainly manage an abortion (he performed many back-alley procedures as a fugitive), but I find it extraordinarily unlikely that a Nazi would study Kabbala. We'll get into his alleged specialties later.

Training

In a radio interview, Cisco vividly described being kept in a cage somewhere in the desert, surrounded by other kids as young as four in their own cages. The children were deprived of food and water for hours at a time. Then Mengele would show up with a fistful of daisies and distribute them to the children one at a time, saying "I love you," or "I love you not." Whenever he said, "I love you not", that child was summarily executed just to frighten the others. Each time this happened, Cisco would be filled with gratitude for being spared, and would express love and appreciation for Mengele - classic trauma bonding. Cisco later learned she had nothing to fear at those times, though; the children who died were "expendables", while she was an Illuminati spawn, too precious to be killed. (1)

Cisco was trained as a sex slave from earliest girlhood. One of her first abusers was President Eisenhower. It is this inclusion of well-known personalities that sets Monarch Project accounts apart from the Illuminati stories of the '70s and '80s (see John Todd, Doc Marquis). Todd mentioned that David Crosby and other musicians of his acquaintance made pacts with Satan, but until the Monarch women came along, celebrities and heads of state were not usually implicated as child-molesting Satanists. Now, everyone from Kris Kristofferson to JFK has been named as part of the Illuminati mind control/Satanic ritual abuse conspiracy matrix.

Cisco says she was trained to be a programmer herself, and admits she (unwittingly) programmed other Illuminati children. Surely she would know their identities, but so far as we know she has not reported their abuse to the proper authorities.

In the previously mentioned radio interview, Cisco said she was shown records indicating that about 2 million children were programmed in the late '60s. This contradicts The Illuminati Formula, in which she and Springmeier state that the Illuminati rarely keep written records of anything.

Isn't the Illuminati the name of a secret society, founded by Adam Weishaupt, in Germany, in 1776, with the goal of seeking world domination through subversive means? I believe that's even recorded in official history books. But in 1784, the order was exposed, and forced to disband so now scholars have used the suppression of this order to claim that no conspiracy continues to exist. But, Weishaupt himself boasted that he prepared for the moment when it would be exposed in order to re-establish it. I think its exposure may have been almost hoped for or deliberate in order to go "invisible" therefore become much more powerful. As they say, "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist"

So I think the current term, "Illuminati” is applied to make these groups of people--secret societies-- to appear as if they don't exist because the "Illuminati" disbanded in 1784. But in reality, these individuals and secret organizations continue to pursue the same goals in our time and that they certainly do exist.

However, what is not clear is who these individuals coming forward really are. Jay Parker? Cisco Wheeler? Cathy O'Brien? John Todd? Their stories are so far out that it's beyond the comprehension of most people. Not to mention, why are they allowed to continue? Why doesn't the "Illuminati" silence them? So do they have an agenda? I always thought their agenda was to discredit those who believe in the great power of these secret societies, behind the scenes, pulling the strings. On the other hand, there is no doubt that we live in a pedophocracy, where children are used as currency in elite circles. So it's possible that these, more or less, famous "Illuminati" whistle-blowers are essentially telling the truth, but at the same time, adding just enough bullshit to make most people turn away. And, that's what I did until Jay Parker. He confuses me, because he's talking about my neighborhood, and about places right outside my front door. Not to mention, there are NO celebrities, NO glitz and glamor...just, as he puts it, the rank and file "Illuminati" which obviously serve a very important purpose. Because without "Illuminati" members sprinkled throughout the ranks, their agenda would fall flat on its face. (I don't like using the term, "Illuminati" because I think it triggers immediate disbelief in most people but I don't know of any other term that everyone would understand.)

Also, I have listened to another woman from the Lancaster PA area who tells the same story but without the celebrities and without the publicity, who sounded very credible. Her family (Nazi) emigrated from Germany right after the war. And I uncovered a document from a New York Times reporter, where Sylvia Seegrist, the Springfield Mall shooter (I was a witness to the shooting), also tells a similar story about her parents. Reading it is like reading something from the Twilight Zone because it's all over the place, but the woman is obviously intelligent and if you take the time to piece it together, she paints a coherent picture. Sylvia's family was also very pro-Nazi.

Clearly those topics are not off-limits at RI. I say be scientific and start the thread here and see what happens. I can't tell you what the response will be but I highly doubt the thread will be deleted just for posting on those themes...

“In a class I taught, we discussed the issue of spiritual appropriation. The white students told me how beneficial Native spirituality was to them and that they had to take part in these New Age movements because they find no other substitute. So I asked, even if the New Age movement is as beneficial to you as you say, do you have any responsibility to Native communities when you take part in these practices? What struck me was that no one had even considered this question before. This practice of taking without asking, the assumption that the needs of the taker are paramount whereas the needs of the one being taken from are irrelevant, mirrors the rape culture of the dominant society.

Thus, it is particularly ironic that this colonial practice, structured by sexual violence, is often perpetuated by white feminists in their efforts to heal from the wounds of patriarchal violence. Sadly, they do not consider how such practices may hinder Native women from healing as well. Native counselors generally agree that a strong cultural identity is essential if Native people are to heal from abuse because a Native woman’s healing entails not only healing from any personal abuse she has suffered but also from the patterned history of abuse against her family, her nation, and her environment. When white women appropriate Indian spirituality for their own benefit, for whatever reason, they continue this pattern of abuse against Indian peoples’ cultures. This exploitation has a specific negative impact on Native peoples’ ability to heal from abuse. Shelley McIntyre, formerly of the Minneapolis Indian Women’s Resource Center, complains that Native women who are trying to heal from abuse have difficulty finding their rootedness in Native culture because all they can find is Lynn Andrews or other ‘plastic medicine wo/men’ who masquerade as Indians for profit. It is unfortunate that, as many white women attempt to heal themselves from the damage brought on by Christian patriarchy, they are unable to do so in a way that is not parasitic on Native women. They continue the practice of their colonial fathers who sought paradise in Native lands without regard for the peoples of these lands.”

Club UK in Wandsworth: Love, Ecstasy and Crime

With hindsight, there were though some very dodgy people involved with Club UK. As in the United States when prohibition of alcohol led to the Mafia control of drinking clubs, the prohibition of drugs like ecstasy created a huge market for UK gangsters to fill.

In December 1995, three men were found shot dead in a Range Rover in a country lane near Rettendon in Essex: Tony Tucker, Pat Tate and Craig Rolfe. There are different versions of why they were killed, as they had many enemies from their involvement in violence and drug smuggling. But it is well established that Tucker ran security at Club UK. According to Tony Thompson in 'Bloggs 19: the story of the Essex Range Rover Triple Murders' (London: Warner, 2000), 'Controlling the doors of a club instantly means that you control who sells drugs inside. Tucker began to charge dealers 'rent' of around £1000 per week in return for granting them exclusive access to the club... in March 1994, twenty-year old Kevin Jones died at Club UK in south London after taking ecstasy. In a bid to track the source, police put two of the club's suspected dealers under surveillance and discovered they had been paying Tony Tucker, the man responsible for security at the club, £1000 per weekend for the exclusive rights to sell ecstasy and cocaine'. Thompson also suggests that Tucker supplied the ecstasy to a dealer at Raquels nightclub in Basildon, the source of the infamous E that caused the death in November 1995 of Leah Betts at her 18th birthday party.

In a statement to police after the murders, Christoper Hall of the (unrelated) Club UN in Tottenham stated: 'I first met Tony [Tucker] when I was operations director for 'First Continental' the Hollywood chain of nightclubs. The directors of this company was Marios George Ellides and Chris George Ellides. My duties at that time included the operation of each club my role was a supervisory management role. At each club the security staff were controlled by Tony Tucker. The clubs were Hollywood Romford, Hollywood Ipswich, Club Art Southend, Club UK Wandsworth'.

The Rettendon events are fictionalised in Jake Arnott's novel True Crime, where one of the characters declares: 'It's who runs the doors, Gaz. That's what this thing is going to be all about. It doesn't matter who runs the club, who promotes the event or whatever. It's who's in control of security, that's going to be the thing. That way you decide who can bring in drugs and deal inside the place'.

The real story of criminal gangs in the 1990s club explosion remains untold. There were all sorts of rumours - e.g. that members of the Inter City Firm ran The Leisure Lounge club in Holborn - and surely most of the players in that scene - DJs, promoters etc. - must have been on more than nodding terms with some very dubious people, whether they liked it or not. That gangsters like Tucker controlled the drugs trade in clubs is not surprizing, but as they made more and more money it seems likely that some must have crossed over to investing profits in buying and running clubs. It would be interesting to know where some of the money came from for some of the high profile new clubs that opened in that period. And its a sobering thought that in any counter-culture/alternative scene organised around drugs, you are only ever two degrees of separation away from a thug with a gun.
