This week, we have a lot of information to throw at you from space and technology news to website changes. The most important update is of course the Disclosure Project from Dr. Steven Greer. We also have new articles that reflect the ideas and concepts like "2001" and "2010." This week, Physics graduate student Conrado Salas Cano has open up the TMA-1 category in our science category.

"2001" Alert:
Ford has taken the liberty to use the old Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra piece for their Ford Expedition commercial. This is nothing new. Just about every other auto company has used this theme last year!

The Learning Channel "2001" Special Update:
The show was completed and delivered to Discovery last week. It looks great! William Shatner did the narration, and did a fine job. Still no word on a broadcast date- it should be sometime in late summer or fall. I'll let you know as soon as I hear.

Space Shuttle Endeavour, STS-111 Mission:
The lift off last week was marvelous.
After a successful mission so far, Endeavour is scheduled to undock from the station at 9:32 a.m. CDT (1432 GMT) Saturday. For more information about the mission, visit http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/ or to watch the lift off and docking to ISS, visit http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/nasatv/index.html and http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/nasatv/schedule.html

Mars Odyssey Mission:
"A dramatic announcement by NASA scientists on May 28 – that instruments on the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft have found enormous quantities of water ice just beneath the surface of Mars – has once again raised the possibility of human mission to Mars. The discovery of enough water ice to fill Lake Michigan twice was widely reported by the news media around the world." – By Ann Hutchinson

I want to thank everyone who donated money to our Webby awards entry this year and hope to do it again next year! We’ve stopped the campaign to raise the funds to pay our bill. Also, speaking of money, for the past 12 months, we’ve received email about a "2001" 3-D poster business that has not paid some of their customers and my visitors. This business is called "depthography". Some of you may recall this outfit was showcased in the Arts category in 2000 and early 2001. Below is the description to the old web page from my archives:

*****************************
"Clavius Base – Depthography
Sara Cook of The Depthography Group created this 3-D anaglyph. This image was produced to demonstrate an advanced form of 3-Dimensional full-color anaglyphic imaging. Anaglyphs are 3-D pictures that require red/blue glasses to see the dimensional effect. This image differs from those by having a noticeable full-color effect visible even with the glasses! It shows a survey team of astronauts on the rim of a lunar crater with the "Clavius base" in the distance. The subjects are at distinctly different levels within the image, and what is AMAZING is that the subjects are TRULY dimensional, the helmets etc. are actually rounded and Spherical! The poster is a photograph printed 20"x 20" on photo paper, and as such is of the highest quality.
The reason we chose Robert McCall's famous painting is to salute Stanley Kubrick and his visionary film, "2001 A Space Odyssey" and to pay homage to the awesome soundtrack album cover. (It is our favorite movie)...

I give everyone on my website and newsletter a benefit of doubt about their character and professional status whatever that is. And I hope that they fully understand what the "2001: A Space Odyssey Collectibles Exhibit" website is about and what I am about. I do not assume anybody’s integrity because I expect respect at the get go when I am invited to share information or when I ask if I could use information for the website and newsletter.
There are two benefits to share information on my website and newsletter and that is:

1) your work will be shared world wide
2) educating the works of Stanley Kubrick & Sir Arthur C. Clarke

And sometimes, the perks are monetary if it is not the main reason you want to share your ideas and concepts. I use that to my benefit to help pay for this website through my store and the best thing about sharing our information under one roof is that I do not charge anyone to host their work or charge my visitors to see the website. And since I’m technically out of a job, that is a stretch for me. I simply do not believe charging people because this website is about exhibiting artwork and ideas that are directly or indirectly influenced by "2001: A Space Odyssey.’ I also do not care about our work being used (images, writings, etc) for other purposes unless we are not credited. And I hope we are. If our work is being used in a "paying" website, film/TV or book/Magazine or other print/electronic media format, then we expect payment and a courtesy call and so far, we’ve received that type of response.
If you do use our work on Ebay or some other means of profiting this non-profit site, then I’ll be more than happy to advertise your success on my website and newsletter if I find out who you are. So that way, people from the entire world can get to know you better.

I’ve asked The Depthography Group twice to please answer to the complaints but I never heard from them again so I yanked their page off my site after giving them some time to respond. I should have expected such an irresponsible way they do business because it took them awhile to write a description about themselves as artists when we were negotiating in 2000. All they wanted was a small thumbnail and link to their website: http://www.depthography.com/images/2001.gif
And I wanted a bit more information…

If you are a victim to this scam IF it is a scam, I cannot help you but I do suggest you report The Depthography Group to the Better Business Bureau, http://www.bbb.org/

Now, I’ve used a lot of space to write my opinion about this on-going problem and bored you to tears. If The Depthography Group would like to rebuttal my observation and reply on my newsletter about the complaints, I invite them do so and explain to us why they are not paying their customers and my visitors.

If you have "2001/2010" news to report to the World Tonight, please send them to me! I’m also looking for pictures from the Tech Museum to share on my website if you were there last year. Until then…

See you next Wednesday (Frank).

COSMIC DECEPTION: LET THE CITIZEN BEWARE

Steven M. Greer MD
Director, The Disclosure Project
http://www.disclosureproject.org

Imagine this: It is the summer of 2001, and someone presents you with a script for a movie or book that tells how a diabolical terrorist plot unfolds wherein both 110 story World Trade Center towers and part of the Pentagon are destroyed by commercial jets hijacked and flown into those structures.

Of course you would laugh, and if you were a movie mogul or book editor, reject it out of hand as ridiculous and implausible, even for a fictional novel or movie. After all, how could a commercial jet, being tracked on radar after two jets had already hit the World Trade towers, make it through our air defenses, into the most sensitive airspace in the world, and in broad daylight on a crystal clear day, slam into the Pentagon! And this in a country that spends over $ 1 billion a day to defend itself! Absurd, illogical - nobody would swallow it!

Unfortunately, there are some of us who have seen these scripts - and of far worse things to come - and we are not laughing.

One of the few silver linings to these recent tragedies it that maybe - just maybe - people will take seriously, however far-fetched it may seem at first, the prospect that a shadowy, para-governmental and transnational entity exists that has kept UFOs secret - and is planning a deception and tragedy that will dwarf the events of 9/11.

The testimony of hundreds of government, military and corporate insiders has established this: That UFOs are real, that some are built by our secret 'black' shadowy government projects and some are from extraterrestrial civilizations, and that a group has kept this secret so that the technology behind the UFO can be withheld - until the right time. This technology can - and eventually will - replace the need for oil, gas, coal, ionizing nuclear power and other centralized and highly destructive energy systems.

This 5 trillion-dollar industry - energy and transportation - is
currently highly centralized, metered and lucrative. It is the stuff that runs the entire industrialized world. It is the mother of all special interests. It is not about money as you and I think of it, but about geo-political power - the very centralized power on which the current order in the world runs. The world is kept in a state or roiling wars, endless poverty for most of Earth's denizens and global environmental ruin, just to prop up this evil world order.

As immense as that game is, there is a bigger one: Control through fear.
As Werner Von Braun related to Dr. Carol Rosin, his spokesperson for the last 4 years of his life, a maniacal machine - the military, industrial, intelligence, laboratory complex - would go from Cold War, to Rogue Nations, to Global Terrorism (the stage we find ourselves at today) to the ultimate trump card: A hoaxed threat from space.

To justify eventually spending trillions of dollars on space weapons, the world would be deceived about a threat from outer space, thus uniting the world in fear, in militarism and in war.

Since 1992 I have seen this script unveiled to me by at least a dozen well-placed insiders. Of course, initially I laughed, thinking this just too absurd and far-fetched. Dr. Rosin gave her testimony to the
Disclosure Project before 9/11. And yet others told me explicitly those things that looked like UFOs but that are built and under the control of deeply secretive 'black' projects, were being used to simulate - hoax -
ET-appearing events, including some abductions and cattle mutilations, to sow the early seeds of cultural fear regarding life in outer space.
And that at some point after global terrorism, events would unfold that would utilize the now-revealed Alien Reproduction Vehicles (ARVs, or reversed-engineered UFOs made by humans by studying actual ET craft - see the book 'Disclosure' by the same author) to hoax an attack on Earth.

Like the movie Independence Day, an attempt to unite the world through militarism would unfold using ET as the new cosmic scapegoat (think Jews during the Third Reich).

None of this is new to me or other insiders: The report from Iron Mountain, NY, written in the 1960s, described the need to demonize life in outer space so we could have a new enemy. An enemy off-planet that could unite humans (in fear and war) and that would prove to be the ultimate prop for the trillion dollar military-industrial complex that conservative Republican President and five star general Eisenhower warned us about in 1961 (no one was listening then, either...).

So here is the post-9/11 script - one that will be played out unless enough people are informed and the plan can be foiled because they will be unable to fool a sufficient number of citizens and leaders:

After a period of terrorism - a period during which the detonation of nuclear devices will be threatened and possibly actuated, thus justifying expanding the weaponization of space - an effort will ramp up to present the public with information about a threat from outer space.
Not just asteroids hitting the Earth, but other threats. An extraterrestrial threat.

Over the past 40 years, UFOlogy, as it is called, combined with a Mighty media machine, has increasingly demonized ETs via fearsome movies like Independence Day and pseudo-science that presents alien kidnappings And abuse as a fact (in some circles) of modern life. That some humans have had contact with ETs I have no doubt; that the real ET contact has been subsumed in an ocean of hoaxed accounts I am certain.

That is, real ET events are seldom reported out to the public. The Machine ensures that the hoaxed, frightening and intrinsically xenophobic accounts are the ones seen and read by millions. This mental conditioning to fear ET has been subtly reinforced for decades, in preparation for future deceptions. Deceptions that will make 9/11 look trivial.

I write this now because I have recently been contacted by several highly placed media and intelligence sources that have made it clear to me that hoaxed events and story-lines are imminent that will attempt to further ramp up the fear machine regarding UFOs and ET s. After all, to have an enemy, you must make the people hate and fear a person, a group of people, or in this case an entire category of beings.

To be clear: the maniacal covert programs controlling UFO secrecy, ARVs and related technologies - including those technologies that can simulate ET events, ET abductions and the like - plan to hijack Disclosure, spin it into the fire of fear, and roll out events that will eventually present ETs as a new enemy. Do not be deceived.

This hogwash, already the stuff of countless books, videos, movies, documentaries and the like, will attempt to glom onto the facts, evidence and first-hand insider testimony of The Disclosure Project, and on its coattails, deliver to the world the cosmic deception that falsely portrays ETs as a threat from space. Do not be deceived.

By commingling fact with fiction, and by hoaxing UFO events that can look terrifying, the Plan is to eventually create a new, sustainable, off-planet enemy. And who will be the wiser?

You will. Because now you know that after 60 years, trillions of dollars and the best scientific minds in the world pressed into action, a secretive, shadowy group - a government within the government and at once fully outside the government as we know it - has mastered the technologies, the art of deception and the capability to launch an attack on Earth, and make it look like ET s did it. In 1997, I brought a man to Washington to brief members of Congress and others about this plan. Our entire team at the time met this man. He had been present at planning sessions when ARVs - things built by Lockheed, Northrup et al, and housed in secretive locations around the world - would be used to simulate an attack on certain assets, making leaders and citizens alike believe that there was a threat from space, when there is none. (Before he could testify, his handlers spirited him away to a secret location
in Virginia until the briefing was over...) Sound familiar? Werner von
Braun warned of such a hoax, as a pretext for putting war in space. And many others have warned of the same.

Space based weapons are already in place - part of a secret parallel space program that has been operating since the 1960s. ARVs are built
and ready to go (see the book 'Disclosure' and the chapter with the testimony of Mark McCandlish et al). Space holographic deception technologies are in place, tested and ready to fire. And the Big Media is a pawn, now taking dictation from the right hand of the king.

I know this all sounds like science fiction. Absurd. Impossible. Just like 9/11 would have sounded before 9/11. But the unthinkable happened and may happen again, unless we are vigilant.

Combine all of this with the current atmosphere of fear and manipulation and there is a real risk of suspending our collective judgment and our constitution.

But know this: If there was a threat from outer space, we would have known about it as soon as humans started exploding nuclear weapons and going into space with manned travel. That we are still breathing the free air of Earth, given the galacticly stupid and reckless actions of an out of control, illegal, secret group, is abundant testimony to the restraint and peaceful intentions of these visitors. The threat is wholly human. And it is we, who must address this threat, rein it in and transform the current situation of war, destruction and secret manipulation to one of true Disclosure and an era of sustained peace.

War in space, to replace war on Earth, is not evolution, but cosmic madness. A world thus united in fear is worse than one divided by ignorance. It is now time for the great leap into the future, a leap that moves us out of fear and ignorance and into an unbroken era of universal peace. Know that this is our destiny. And it will be ours just as soon as we choose it.
