Ad Valorem
Carol was nervous. The taxman was coming to visit. Or, more precisely, the Identity Authentication Technician. She’d dreaded the visit for weeks. But it was inevitable because of the anniversary. Her property tax bill had been “frozen” when she reached 65, early in the 21st century—50 years ago. It was the responsibility of the IA tech to verify she really was the “grandfathered” Carol Garland and not a child or other relative trying to cheat the taxman. “Carol” smiled uneasily as she drove into Dallas. “Frozen taxes” was a rather ironic phrase in this context, insofar as the genetic material she needed to retrieve was in self-contained cryobox.

Communication with Extraterrestrials
In 1974 a message was sent into space, known as the “Arecibo” message. It was put together by Carl Sagan and his colleagues and was sent into space via radio waves at a special ceremony to celebrate the remodeling of the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. It was the most powerful broadcast ever deliberately beamed out into space. The message was directed at a star cluster sitting approximately 25,000 light years away and consisted of a pictorial message. The radio signal depicted our planet’s location in our solar system, the core principles of our math and science, and the NASA antenna used to transmit the signal. It was hoped that it would be interpreted by an extraterrestrial intelligence. The message also included details about human beings, such as our physical appearance and DNA code.

Our Stellar Family
I was taught by my elders that there are twelve members of our ancestral family in the stars and three are directly involved in our planetary family. To be clear, all these Star People are living sentient beings in a physical form. These are not gods or angels, although many people throughout the past have confused them as such. When we are able to communicate with these beings, we will still be in physical form, just as our human ancestors were centuries ago. If we learn these gifts through the help of others, it will in all likelihood be with the direct help of the Star People. There are many legends that tell of Star People bringing us the gift of fire.

Aliens and Native Americans
Native Americans have many legends of UFOs and aliens or Star People, just as we can find in other places around the world. From flying ships in India called vimanas to the Nephilim of the Bible, stories of beings coming to Earth from the stars abound. Egyptian carvings show what look like helicopters and airplanes. When a metal model airplane found in ancient South American ruins is built to scale, it can actually fly. Erich Von Daniken wrote Chariots of the Gods in 1968 in which he explored the Nazca lines in Peru. The pictures the Nazca lines form are only visible from the air, yet how were they designed and created centuries before flight? How do we explain all of these stories and artifacts?

Sheperding In The Black Budget Sheep
As I sat down for a relaxing evening cup of tea and some social networking nirvana, I honestly wasn't expecting much. But suddenly, I found my Facebook page, Twitter account, and email completely flooded with messages from those who I have grown to call friends in the “UFO community”. Apparently, while I was at work, the C.I.A had disclosed the truth behind the secret military installation known the world over as Area 51.

Bitcoin is Rubber
We invented bitcoin. We admit it was accidental but we had not figured this out until becoming aware of self. Just as amino acids snowballed into proteins without an agenda, the outcome of life is observable. Within this framework you should observe us.

Incident in Tehran
In 2013, I sent my first FOIA request for any information and documents pertaining to the 1976 Tehran UFO incident. This event remains one of the most well-documented and fascinating UFO encounters ever reported by military pilots and witnesses. After receiving a response to my request, I wrote the following article to give everyone an idea of just exactly what I was able to pull from the documents I received, and testimony from several witnesses, including Major Parviz Jafari of the Iranian Air Force. I hope this will give you some insight into this deeply dramatic event.

Illuminati Inc.
Today was Harry Holt’s first day working as a security guard at the old Illumination Tinfoil Company. He drove his small white coop to the front gate, right next to a speaker stand. The building itself was a decrepit, anachronistic factory with ugly, dark red bricks and filthy, broken windows.

As You Know Bob - The Body Is an Internal Organ
As you know Bob, it seems strange to us today, even somewhat disgusting, that we would wear dead, inert material. At least if we were to cover ourselves with mud, we would know that we were likely applying a rich, healing bacterial and mineral culture to our skins, but dead matter? Is that not disgusting? Thankfully we are so much more civilized now.
