With the most mainstream report on the UFO phenomenon we can see a pattern.  From the earliest accounts we have a military influence...

A few decades later it looks like the Romans really put this stuff on the map.  Looking at those accounts we still see military influence.  We also have the brother of Pope Pius I and Cassius Dio.  
There's nothing fishy about Dio's story.   Why not take "ancient technology" and convert it into a limited supply of talismans from the goddess Juno Moneta?
As for the military link, god only knows what nonsensical pep talks those commanders gave their soldiers.
We can definitely say the Romans were pushing this stuff for a few hundred years.

Then is seems to go cold until France picks up the baton in the 8th century.  Here too we see more military and Holy Roman empire links to the stories.  

We take a few hundred more years off and then it picks up again in Europe.   Again we see the Holy Roman Empire kicking it off in Nuremberg.
Wallachia is interesting because of its military motivations and its link to Holy Roman Empire yet again.    Wallachia is in the geographical region of Romania. 
 We jump to the 19th century the the real players start to take the stage, the good old USA!

A coincidence is worth noting:  Blavatskian Theosophy got rolling in New York around 1875 and the mystery airships are dated around 1896.  Did those Theosophists conjure up the commanders of the UFO phenomenon?   

In 1904 Aleister Crowley was conjuring up Aiwass!


Crowley went to great pains to argue that Aiwass was an objectively separate being from himself, possessing far more knowledge than he or any other human could possibly have. He wrote "no forger could have prepared so complex a set of numerical and literal puzzles".[4] As Crowley writes in his Confessions: "I was bound to admit that Aiwass had shown a knowledge of the Cabbala immeasurably superior to my own"[5] and "We are forced to conclude that the author of The Book of the Law is an intelligence both alien and superior to myself, yet acquainted with my inmost secrets; and, most important point of all, that this intelligence is discarnate."[6] Finally, this excerpt (also from Confessions, ch.49):
However, Crowley also spoke of Aiwass in symbolic terms. In The Law is for All,[7] he goes on at length in comparison to various other deities and spiritual concepts, but most especially to The Fool. For example, he writes of Aiwass: "In his absolute innocence and ignorance he is The Fool; he is the Saviour, being the Son who shall trample on the crocodiles and tigers, and avenge his father Osiris. Thus we see him as the Great Fool of Celtic legend, the Pure Fool of Act I of Parsifal, and, generally speaking, the insane person whose words have always been taken for oracles."
Perhaps more importantly, Crowley later identified Aiwass as his own personal Holy Guardian Angel and more. Again from Equinox of the Gods: "I now incline to believe that Aiwass is not only the God once held holy in Sumer, and mine own Guardian Angel, but also a man as I am, insofar as He uses a human body to make His magical link with Mankind, whom He loves, and that He is thus an Ipsissimus, the Head of the A∴A∴"[8]
Yet even while eventually identifying Aiwass as his Holy Guardian Angel, Crowley still went to even greater lengths in his later years to insist that Aiwass was an objective entity apart from himself, even going as far as to declare in no uncertain terms that the Holy Guardian Angel is not only entirely objective, but is also not to be confused with the "Higher Self," as in his final work, Magick Without Tears: "The Holy Guardian Angel is not the 'Higher Self' but an Objective individual. . . . He is not, let me say with emphasis, a mere abstraction from yourself; and that is why I have insisted rather heavily that the term 'Higher Self' implies 'a damnable heresy and a dangerous delusion'. . . . It it were not so, there would be no point in The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage."[9]
In Magick in Theory and Practice, Aiwass is firmly identified by Crowley as "The Devil," "Satan," and "Lucifer," whose "emblem is Baphomet." This assertion is made while Crowley is discussing "The Devil." After explaining that "The Devil" does not exist, he goes on to clarify his statements by explaining that "The Devil" is in reality a label for the God of any people that one dislikes, and this fact has led to so much "confusion of thought" on the subject that Crowley prefers to "let names stand as they are, and to proclaim simply that AIWAZ, the solar-phallic-hermetic ‘Lucifer,’ is His own Holy Guardian Angel, and ‘The Devil’ SATAN or HADIT, the Supreme Soul behind RA-HOOR-KHUIT the Sun, the Lord of our particular unit of the Starry Universe. This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil; He bade ‘Know Thyself!’ and taught Initiation. He is ‘the Devil’ of the Book of Thoth, and His emblem is BAPHOMET, the Androgyne who is the hieroglyph of arcane perfection."[10]
Cult of Lam
Since Crowley’s time, several occult groups and individuals following in his footsteps have claimed to have intentionally and successfully contacted "Lam." Most notably, Michael Bertiaux in the 1960’s followed by a group of O.T.O initiates in the 1970’s. (The O.T.O. is the Ordo Templi Orientis, a Magickal order run by Crowley.) These individuals consider "Lam" to be a trans-mundane or extraterrestrial entity and claimed remarkable success in their invocations - if they are to be believed. 
Magickal Stories - Lam
When Aleister Crowley was living in New York, doing various magickal experiments in a place on West 9th, he did what’s called the Amalantrah Working. It’s theorized this process created a deliberate channel in ephemeral cosmic influences so that extra-dimensional entities could enter our universe. In short, he likely created a portal for what we know as gray aliens to come visit us.
Eventually Crowley made contact with an entity known as Lam and drew its portrait, and damn if it doesn’t look like the pictures we see of Grays now. (Incidentally, “lam” is the mantra linked to the root chakra, which is associated with survival.) This was around 1917. While there are possibly ancient accounts of extra-terrestrial visitations in other parts of the world, this was one of the first-known Grays to have popped into Western consciousness, although Crowley didn’t explicitly say this.
Crowley introduced Lam for the first time in his commentary on the Voice of the Silence by Theosophy founder Madame Blavatsky. Founded or not, he basically tears that classic to shreds without ever really explaining why he started it off with his portrait of Lam. Since then, Lam’s been expounded on by a writer named Kenneth Grant who knew Crowley personally and is his acknowledged successor.
Brian Butler interview with VICE:
VICE: First of all, who or what is Lam?
Brian Butler: It’s always been a bit mysterious what this was to Crowley, or what the creature was at all. You can tell by looking at it that it looks like a gray alien, although it precedes that. So, was it a self-portrait of Crowley on the astral plane? Was it an entity that he encountered? Was it Amalantrah?
What was your experience with it?
When I was in Brazil, it was related to those events that I explained last time. All of a sudden Lam came up [in my consciousness] and I got a communication that I was to contact it. Years ago, when I lived in New York--close to where Crowley was doing those rituals--I did what’s called the Lam Statement, which is written by
Kenneth Grant. He became interested in Lam and wrote a bit of his speculations of what Lam was and his relation to Crowley and how to investigate and contact that entity. It’s a pretty simple operation.
Then what happened?
I came into contact with an order of alien beings.
What did they say or show you?
It was a long-term process that took maybe a year. You’re dealing with non-human intelligence, an elemental or “alien,” whatever it is. It proceeded like a slideshow, it was in my sleep, they were showing these projections and it took me a while to figure out that’s what was happening. They were gradually preparing me for this communication. And then I got into contact with these beings. I was given a further basic understanding of [Lam's] nature and being. I recorded it with drawings and audio, my relation of what it was.
How would you describe that contact?
It could be like a classic gray experience…. How to explain it? It’s all really strange.
What were you told specifically?
So there were these images, they were all very personal, just strange. You read about these things for years, but when you actually experience it, it’s completely different.
How so?
You can’t really imagine what it’s going to be like. It’s an entirely different order of being than anything you’d normally encounter in your lifetime. It takes a while. Just the impact on your mind, if you’re not prepared, can be very unsettling. And the classic gray alien contact or experience is extreme terror. I can relate to that, in a way. It’s a very cold, mechanical kind of computer-like intelligence. It’s what we perceive as artificial because it’s not incarnated and it never was. So it doesn’t have empathy or doesn’t relate to that at all.
Huh, that’s something I hadn’t thought about, but it makes sense. That it hasn’t been cycled through and had a chance to learn things, so it would seem detached and disaffected.
Yeah. It’s eternal. It’s ancient. And it’s also futuristic. It’s from a dimension that’s beyond what our perception of time is, too. So not only is it not a warm-blooded creature, it’s also transcending the barriers of time and space. There are certain limitations you need to function in the world—such as a body—so it’s impossible for a human being to fully comprehend what it could be, just by nature of being alive. If you don’t retain those things, such as an ego or sense of logic and reason, then you can’t function in society. These entities operate outside of those rules. So it’s very difficult to classify them. We can see a small part of them, but the whole thing is too much, it’s overwhelming. It helps you to evolve, and it also can be terrifying, the vastness of where they’re coming from.
How can it help you to evolve?
Just like anything, if you’re in contact with it, you sort of absorb it by osmosis. Like with religion, if you’re around a higher level of initiation, it’s going to impact your aura. Hopefully you’ll be raised to their level, rather than them being brought down to yours. In some ways that can be scary or disorienting, because maybe you’re not ready to all at once be presented with it.
Why do you think he put this portrait of Lam before the Voice of the Silence?
It’s been speculated that it has some kind of strong connection with him.
Maybe it was one of the Masters of the Theosophicals? Or like a secret chief of the A.A.? He actually thought this was going to cause a big upheaval in Theosophy when this was published.
It didn’t.
It was all so marginal.

The moment in time may have seemed marginal, one esoteric religion battling another, but ever since Crowley’s Amalantrah Working lots of people in the US started reporting visitations, or “abductions,” with creatures that looked very similar to Lam. Tomorrow, Saturday, January 21, Brian Butler performs his Union of Opposites Ritual, combining light and sound to create a collective out-of-body experience. Along with his team he'll execute an occult rite inspired by Crowley's Ritual of the Mark of the Beast. If you're in the audience, you're a participant. This happens from 5 to 6 PM at Ruskin Theatre at the Santa Monica Airport in as part of the Art Los Angeles Contemporary Fair.  
The 20th century kicks off and we get the Foo fighters...

OPPS! Wrong pic..

There's a Foo fighter in there somewhere...
The ball really starts to roll in the United States full steam ahead...
From the 40's on we can say this has been a phenomena concentrated in the United States.
We can also say the military (Air Farce) has their fingerprints all over it.
We are told the government is suppressing it while the government is a primary source for most UFO sightings and leaks... DUH!
We are told we are about to hear a vital disclosure but we've already heard it from "reliable" leakers...sited over and over again and again...

Bob Lazar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bob Lazar
BornRobert Scott Lazar
January 26, 1959 (age 58)
Coral GablesFlorida
Former document photo processor[1]
Owner of United Nuclear Scientific Equipment and Supplies
Alleged researcher at Groom Lake testing facility
Spouse(s)Joy White
Parent(s)Albert Lazar and Phyllis Berliner Lazar
Robert Scott "BobLazar (/ləˈzɑːr/; born January 26, 1959) claims to have worked on reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology at a site called S4, in the Emigrant Valley and Old Kelley Mine area near the Area 51 test facility. Universities from which he claimed to hold degrees show no record of him.


Education and qualifications[edit]

Lazar claims to hold degrees from the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2] In 1993, the Los Angeles Times looked into his background and could not find any records of Lazar ever having attended either institution nor has he produced his degrees or a copy of his Master’s thesis.[1][3] UFOlogist Stanton Friedman was able to substantially verify that Lazar took electronics courses in the late 1970s at Pierce Junior College in Los Angeles.[4] His occupation was listed as a self-employed document photo processor.[1]

Los Alamos[edit]

Lazar worked for a time at the Los Alamos National Laboratory facility. He claimed to have worked "in the Meson Physics facility" and to have been "involved with experiments using the 1/2 mile long Linear Particle Accelerator."[5] Although Lazar claimed or strongly implied that he was an employee of Los Alamos, Stanton Friedman claims that he actually worked for Kirk Meyer, an outside contractor.[4] A former acquaintance from his Los Alamos days claims that Lazar was fired for using government equipment to work on his cars.[6]

Legal problems in 1990[edit]

In 1990,[7] Lazar was arrested for aiding and abetting a prostitution ring. This was reduced to felony pandering, to which he pleaded guilty and was ordered to do 150 hours of community service, stay away from brothels and undergo psychotherapy.[8]
This guy was a panderer!    His supporters say its a set up.   The court papers say otherwise.   Troof Site The Last American Vagabond seems to think Bob Lazar is worth citing so it must be real.

Stan Romanek

Stan Romanek
OccupationAuthor and UFO enthusiast
Stan Romanek is an author and UFO enthusiast. He appears in the media, and has spoken at the International UFO Congress, presenting his claim to have been an alien abductee.


Romanek says he is an alien abductee, had his first UFO encounter in 2000, and has had many experiences since, including discovering mysterious wounds on his body that glowed under a black light, communication with aliens over a Ghost Box, aliens following over his car or visiting his home, and telepathic communication by aliens.[1][2] In one account from 2003, he said he woke up and found himself wearing flannel ladies wear, and he suspected he had been abducted and returned in different clothing. It was later, while talking to an attendee at another conference that he suspected that the flannel gown was that of Betty Hill, another alien abductee who said she was abducted in 1961.[3]
Dwight Connely, editor of the MUFON UFO Journal, included the Stan Romanek case in his 2004 book The World's Best UFO Cases acclaiming it then as the best current case due to the presence of independent witnesses, markings and injuries on his body, a large burned circle, videos of strange phenomena, and "somewhat complicated mathematical formulas which seem to be well beyond Romanek's ability." Connelly hedges his bet then saying it should only be viewed as a potential long term best case that hopefully will be considered legitimate ten years later.[4]
Appearing on ABC Primetime in 2009, Romanek underwent hypnosis by Dr R. Leo Sprinkle, a psychologist who specialized in alien abduction cases. During hypnosis, Romanek wrote out the Drake Equation, which is a formula used to estimate the number of planets in the galaxy that might have intelligent life. It was suggested by Joe Nickell of the Skeptical Inquirer that this was done through simple memorization.[5]

Selected publications[edit]

  • Messages: The World’s Most Documented Extraterrestrial Contact Story (2009, Llewellyn Publications)
  • The Orion Regressions (2011, Etherean)
  • Answers (2012, Etherean)
Etherean LLC was registered with the Colorado Secretary in September 2011, with Stan Romanek as agent.[6] Romanek's wife Lisa has also written about his abduction experiences, From My Side of the Bed (2012, Etherean).


In Romanek's book Messages, he claimed to have received communications from extraterrestrials. He claimed an astronomer interpreted drawings Romanek made under hypnosis of planetary alignments as indicating the date September 21, 2012, 4 years ago. Prior to that date, Romanek said he did not know what the significant event indicated by that date was to have been, but speculated it would be when the aliens would make themselves known to humanity, or maybe when the visions he had had of natural disasters would occur.[7]


Boo Video[edit]

In 2008, Romanek appeared on Larry King Live, along with Jeff Peckman, former Denver Mayoral candidate endorsing Romanek's story as part of his campaign for a Denver Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission,[8] claiming to have recorded a video of an alien peeking in his window.[9] This video is now commonly referred to as the ‘’Boo Video’’.[10]
In May of 2008 during an interview of Romanek on Coast To Coast AM radio, host George Noory suggested that Romanek take a lie detector test over the authenticity of the Boo Video.[11] Romanek agreed to this test. When it was conducted later that year, Romanek failed on the question "Is the Boo tape a hoax?" Romanek then said he has medical conditions that prevent a lie detector test from working on him.[12]
At the 2009 Mysteries of the Universe conference in Kansas City, Romanek said he was set up by Noory to fail.[3]
A video expert consulted by Romanek claimed that the Boo Video would have cost $50,000 to fake. A Denver paranormal claims investigations group Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society / Warning Radio said they reproduced the video for about $90.[13][14]

Missing implant[edit]

In 2009 in an interview on ABC Primetime, Romanek said he had physical evidence of his abduction experiences in the way of an alien implant in his leg. When a medical test for the implant was requested, Romanek said it had disappeared.[2]

Child pornography[edit]

On Feb. 13, 2014, Romanek was arrested on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography. Romanek's wife, Lisa, has said "Anyone who follows Stan is already aware of the harassment [sic], break-ins, hacking and remote access of our computers for starters that we have experienced" and "We will be taking UFOlogy into the courtroom. We know that this has EVERTING [sic] to do with our being outspoken about the ET/UFO reality."[15] His jury trial is scheduled for July 31, 2017.[16]

Admitted faking[edit]

In a 2015 video[17] interview on the Peter Maxwell Slatterly show, Romanek said he faked the strange movement of objects that occurred during a 2014 interview[18] on the same show.
 Here he is in action.   I found this extremely compelling...

Another set up I'm sure.   I think this one is more complicated.   I have watched this clown in action and followed him for a few years.   I would not put it past him to have put child porn on his own computer to validate his stories about the governments suppressing him.   I know that sounds insane but watch that video and consider the idea...

Phil Schneider got his fingers shot off by an alien in a gunfight and then managed to whistle blow.  Thanks Phil.   He didn't start pimping or selling child porn so I don't know how credible he is.

Now lets look at the retarded technology

All I have to go off of are images on the internet.   I have never seen a UFO, buts lots of people have and lets take a look...

Are those lights from Laurel Canyon?
Its seems between the 40's and 50's UFO's weren't retarded.   Look how they progressed.   We haven't seen one of these guys in quite a while therefore their technology is moving forward and/or so is ours.   
Pretty much the same in the 60's.  We have some different pictures and stories buy they hold on to the Studebaker of UFO's for a couple of decades...
I've seen something like this in that film Flesh Gordon...
The UFO technology is not quite retarded yet but chromosomes are mutating.  They have breast shapes and Dairy Queen starbars added to the imagery.   We still have the same old disk moving at speeds that the random Joe could photograph.   
After the culture was heavily dosed with acid (66 forward) we have the same old song and dance.   So lets jump to the 90's and see if the UFO's have gone full blown retarded.
That's all you got?   I'm sold, UFO's are retarded... until the 2000's.   We have a massive leap out of retardation...
Or do we?
I need to make the statement that there are things in the sky that are flying that are unidentifiable.    During my lifetime these are the images that tell the story.   The problem comes with the instant relationship to beings from another planet.   There is a pattern that is clear as day.  People making an opposing argument use my red flags as the evidence against my argument. 
EVERY SINGLE EVENT LISTED ON WICCAPEDIA COMES FROM KNOWN LIARS OR DUBIOUS SOURCES.   This is a good time to reconnect the Government leaks and spin on the story.   The word government literally translates to mind control.  Govern-Control, ment from mente-Of the mind. 
No surprise the Roman empires and the United States (extension of the Roman Empire) are the controllers breaking ground with these stories.

On to the icing on the cake.
Steven Greer is the go to guy for the masses on the subject of "disclosure".

Steven M. Greer
BornJune 28, 1955 (age 61)
Charlotte, North Carolina
OccupationPhysician (retired)

Early life[edit]

Greer was born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1955.[1] Greer claims to have seen an unidentified flying object at close range when he was about eight years old, which inspired his interest in ufology.[1][2] He was trained as a Transcendental Meditation teacher and served as director of a meditation organization.[1][3] Greer completed his graduate work aEast Tennessee State University James H. Quillen College of Medicine in 1987.[4] He attended MAHEC University of North Carolina where he completed his internship in 1988 and received his Virginia medical license in 1989.[4] That year he became a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.[5][6][7]


In October 1994 Greer appeared in Larry King's TV special The UFO Coverup?[15] In 1995, Greer was working as a physician at the department of emergency medicine at Caldwell Memorial Hospital,[3][16] where he was chairman.[1]
In 1997, Greer along with other members of CSETI, including Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, made a presentation at a background briefing for members of Congress.[17] In 1998 Greer gave up his career as an emergency room physician, in favor of the Disclosure Project.[18][19]
In May 2001, Greer held a press conference at the National Press Club in D.C that featured "20 retired Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration and intelligence officers".[2][20][21][22][23][24] According to a 2002 report in the Oregon Daily Emerald, Greer has gathered 120 hours of testimony from civilians and various government and military officials on the topic of UFOs, including astronaut Gordon Cooper and a brigadier general.[8]


In 2013 Greer co-produced Sirius, a documentary detailing his work and hypotheses regarding extraterrestrial life, government cover-ups and close encounters of the fifth kind.[25] The film was directed by Amardeep Kaleka and narrated by Thomas Jane, and covers Greer's 2006 book Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge. The movie premiered on April 22, 2013, in Los Angeles, California, and featured interviews from former government and military officials.[26] Sirius depicted a six-inch human skeleton known as the Atacama skeleton and featured images and a DNA test of the skeleton.[27][28] Genetic evidence showed that it was human, with genetic markers found in "indigenous women from the Chilean region of South America". The director of the center that did the analysis said, "It's an interesting medical mystery of an unfortunate human with a series of birth defects that currently the genetics of which are not obvious."[29][30]
In this clip from a yoga magazine we see "He was trained as a Transcendental Meditation teacher in 1975 and served as the Director of the International Meditation Society in the Bahamas during 1976"... and he shops at Walmart.


The International Foundation for the Science of Creative Intelligence (IFSCI).[158][159] American versions and additions to these organizations included the Spiritual Regeneration Movement Foundation (SRMF), the World Plan Executive Council which was established to serve as a guide for the movement there [160] and the American Foundation for the Science of Creative Intelligence, for people in business and education.[158] Active international organizations include the International Meditation Society, Maharishi Foundation, Global Country of World Peace and the David Lynch Foundation.
In 2007, the organization's "worldwide network" was reported to be primarily financed through courses in the Transcendental Meditation technique with additional income from donations and real estate assets.[161] Valuations for the organization are USD $300 million in the U.S.A[162][163] and $3.5 billion world wide.[15][164]

Historically listed[edit]

1958: Spiritual Regeneration Movement and Foundation[edit]

The Spiritual Regeneration Movement was established in India in 1958[165][166] and the Spiritual Regeneration Movement Foundation (SRMF) was incorporated in California, USA in July 1959 as a non-profit organization, with its headquarters in Los Angeles.[166][167] SRMF's articles of incorporation describe the corporate purpose as educational and spiritual. Article 11 of the articles of incorporation read: "this corporation is a religious one. The educational purpose shall be to give instruction in a simple system of meditation".[167][168][169] The SRMF corporation was later[when?] dissolved.[167] SRM offered TM courses to individuals "specifically interested in personal development in the context of a spiritual, holistic approach to knowledge".[170]SRM addressed a smaller and older segment of the population as compared with subsequent organizations such as the International Meditation Society and the Students International Meditation Society.[171] According to British author Una Kroll, SRM was not a community and in the early 1970s the organization "cast off its semi-religious clothing and pursued science in a big way".[172]

1959: International Meditation Society[edit]

In 1959 the Maharishi went to England and established the British arm of the International Meditation Society with an additional office in San Francisco California, USA.[175][176] The International Meditation Society was founded in the U.S. in 1961 to offer both beginning and advanced courses in Transcendental Meditation to the general public.[142][165][170] As of 2007 it was still an active organization in Israel.[177][178]

1965: Students International Meditation Society[edit]

The Students International Meditation Society (SIMS) was first established in Germany in 1964.[64] A USA chapter was created in 1965 and offered courses to students and the youth of society.[170][179] The UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) chapter of SIMS, which had 1,000 members, was founded by Peter Wallace and his brother Robert Keith Wallace, the first president of Maharishi International University.[165][180] In the 1970s, SIMS centers were established at "over one thousand campuses"[64] in the USA and similar growth occurred in Germany, Canada and Britain.[65]


Transcendental Meditation has been utilized in corporations, both in the U.S.A and in India, under the auspices of the International Foundation for the Science of Creative Intelligence and the Maharishi Development Corporation. In India a number of companies provide the TM technique to their managers. These companies include AirTelSiemensAmerican ExpressSRF LimitedWiproHero HondaRanbaxyHewlett PackardBHELBPL GroupESPN Star SportsTiscoEvereadyMarutiGodrej Group and Marico.[181] The employees at Marico practice Transcendental Meditation in groups as part of their standard workday.[181] The USA branch of the organization is called the American Foundation for the Science of Creative Intelligence (AFSCI)[142][170] and as of 1975 it had conducted TM courses at General FoodsAT&T Corporation Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and Blue Cross/Blue Shield.[142] As of 2001, USA companies such as General Motors and IBM were subsidizing the TM course fee for their employees.[182] The organization has been described as one of several "holistic health groups" that attempted to incorporate elements of psychology and spirituality into healthcare.[183]
The Maharishi Corporate Development Program is another international non-profit organization that offers the TM program to people in industry and business.[184][185] According to religious scholar Christopher Partridge, "hundreds" of Japanese business' have incorporated the meditation programs offered by Maharishi Corporate Development International[186] including Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd.[187] In 1995 the Fortune Motor Co. of Taiwan reportedly had a 100% increase in sales after participating in the program.[187] The Washington Post reported in 2005, that USA real estate developer, The Tower Companies, had added classes in Transcendental Meditation to their employee benefit program with 70% participation.[188][189][190]

1972: World Plan Executive Council[edit]

WPEC headquarters in Seelisberg, Switzerland
The World Plan Executive Council's (WPEC) international headquarters were located in Seelisberg, Switzerland and its American headquarters in Washington, D.C.[191] The organization name was taken from the Maharishi's "world plan",[192] which aimed to develop the full potential of the individual; improve governmental achievements; realize the highest ideal of education; eliminate the problems of crime and all behavior that brings unhappiness to the family of man; maximize the intelligent use of the environment; bring fulfillment to the economic aspirations of individuals and society; and achieve the spiritual goals of mankind in this generation.[30] It provided courses in the Transcendental Meditation technique and other related programs.[193][194][not in citation given]
It was founded in Italy in 1972 and by 1992 had organized twenty-five TM centers with thirty-five thousand participants in that country.[195] In 1998 the World Plan Executive Council Australia (WPECA) sought the approval of the New South Wales Labor Council (NSWLC) to allow a resort on property owned by NSWLC.[196]
The World Plan Executive Council (WPEC) was established in the U.S. as a non-profit educational corporation to guide its Transcendental Meditation movement.[160] Its president was an American and former news reporter named Jerry Jarvis and the Maharishi is reported to have had "no legal, official or paid relationship with WPEC".[137][197] WPEC was an umbrella organization and operated almost exclusively on revenues generated from TM course fees.[137] It featured corporate trappings such as "computerized mailings, high-speed communications, links, even a well-turned medical and life insurance plan for its employees".[137] WPEC supervised the 375 urban TM centers as well as several failed resorts that were purchased or leased as "forest academies" for in-residence meditation classes and courses.[137] It had $40 million in tax exempt revenues from 1970 to 1974[137] and in 1975 it had $12 million in annual revenues but [142] did not employ any outside public relations firm.[137]
WPEC's organization in the U.S.A. in 1975
In the 1990s WPEC in the USA became the parent company to an American, for-profit, hotel subsidiary called Heaven on Earth Inns Corp. with Thomas M. Headley as its president. The Heaven on Earth Inns Corp. was reported to have purchased nine USA hotels at cut-rate prices that year, including two in Ohio, one in Oklahoma[202] and one in Omaha, Nebraska.[203][204] The hotels were bought as facilities for TM classes and as income-producing operations for health-conscious travelers who preferred vegetarian meals, alcohol free environments and non-smoking accommodations.[205] The following year WPEC purchased a hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey[206] and a "shuttered" hotel in St. Louis, Missouri.[207] WPEC also "took over" Chicago's Blackstone Hotel via foreclosure in 1995.[208]
The Maharishi Global Development Fund (MGDF) purchased the Clarion Hotel in Hartford, Connecticut USA in 1995 for $1.5 million and sold it to Wonder Works Construction in 2011.[209] In 2006 MGDF's assets were listed as $192.3 million with $51.4 million in income.[210]

1975: Maharishi Foundation[edit]

Maharishi Foundation is an educational and charitable organization[211] active in at least four countries. The Maharishi Foundation's headquarters resided at Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire beginning in 1978[211] and later moved to SkelmersdaleWest Lancashire, England.[212] According to its website, Maharishi Foundation is a "registered, educational charity" that was established in Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom in 1975.[213] Its purpose is to advance public education by offering courses and services for human development including Transcendental Meditation.[213][214] The foundation is said to promote Consciousness-Based Education and research on Transcendental Meditation by "independent academic institutions"[213] and reported $7 million in revenues in 2010.[215] Similar corporations include the Maharishi Foundation Incorporated in New Zealand[216] and Maharishi Foundation U.S.A.[217] Maharishi Foundation purchased the Kolleg St. Ludwig campus in 1984 for USD 900,000[218] and it became the Maharishi European Research University (MERU) campus as well as the Maharishi's movement headquarters and residence.[31] The buildings were old, inefficient, in disrepair and did not meet the Maharishi Sthapatya Veda requirements of an east facing entrance.[218] A 2006 report in the LA Times said the Maharishi's organization has been involved in a two year "courtroom battle" with preservationist who wanted to block the demolition of the Kollege St. Ludwig building which "was abandoned in 1978" by its previous owners.[219] A three-story, canvas illustration of the intended replacement building was put up on the front side of the building but local government ordered its removal.[220] According to a 2008 report, the MERU Foundation indicated it would consider leaving the site if permission to demolish the old building was not granted.[220] In 2015, the old buildings were removed completely.[221]

New construction in 1997
By 1996, it was referred to as the "Maharishi Continental Capital of the Age of Enlightenment for Europe".[222] In 1998, the overall redevelopment plan for the location was budgeted at USD 50 million.[218] Aerial photographs show the development of the site.[223][224] Floodlights illuminated the new building constructed in 1997 and 164 flagpoles carried the flags of the world nations "like a meditation-based United Nations."[225] Local authorities later limited the use of floodlights and required removal of the flagpoles.[220] Tony Nader was crowned Maharaja Raja Raam there in 2001,[226]and it became a "capital" of the Global Country of World Peace.[227][228] By 2006, the campus had 50 residents and had been visited by John Hagelin[31] and Doug Henning in prior years.[228][229][230]
In November 2011 Maharishi Foundation USA filed a lawsuit in Federal court against The Meditation House LLC for infringement of the foundation's Transcendental Meditation trademark which are licensed to select organizations.[231][232] The foundation alleges that its "credibility and positive image" are being used to "mislead customers" while the defendant asserts the foundation has an unfair monopoly on an ancient technique.[215]

1976: World Government of the Age of Enlightenment[edit]

This self described non-political, non-religious, global organization was formed in 1976 by the Maharishi[233] As of 1985 the World Government of the Age of Enlightenment was administrated by its President, Thomas A. Headly. Its purpose was to teach the Science of Creative Intelligence and the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs and to accomplish the seven goals of the World Plan. In addition, the organization gave Maharishi Awards to several outstanding members of the community each year.[170]

1988: Maharishi Heaven on Earth Development Corp.[edit]

Maharishi Heaven on Earth Development Corp. (MHOED) is a for-profit real estate developer associated with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his Transcendental Meditation movement. First founded in Malibu California in 1988, it has sought to build utopian projects in the U.S., Canada, and Africa with a long-term goal to "reconstruct the entire world", at an estimated cost of $100 trillion.[234][235] The US arm planned to work with developers to build 50 "Maharishi Cities of Immortals" in the US and Canada.[236] The Canadian arm bought and renovated the Fleck/Paterson House in Ottawa in 2002, earning the "adaptive use award of excellence" from the City.[237] A subsidiary purchased land to build Maharishi Veda Land theme parks in Orlando, Florida and Niagara Falls, New York. The Dutch arm negotiated with the presidents of Zambia and Mozambique to acquire a quarter of the land in those countries in exchange for solving their problems.

In 2008, all charges against MVED were dismissed and the law suit was dropped.[255][256][257][258][259][260] According to journalist Anthony Barnett, the attacks led critics to question the movement's claims that group practice of advanced meditation techniques could end violence.[261] Maharishi said of the incident that "this is an aspect of the violence we see throughout society", including the violence that the U.S. perpetrates in other countries.[261]
MVED has created educational enterprises, such as Maharishi Vedic University and Maharishi Medical Center, and has overseen the construction and development of Maharishi Peace Palaces owned by the Global Country of World Peace (GCWP) in 30 locations in the USA.[262][263][264] Maharishi Peace Palaces, Transcendental Meditation Centers, Maharishi Enlightenment Centers, and Maharishi Invincibility Centers provide training and Maharishi Ayurveda treatments as well as serving as local centers for TM and TM-Sidhi practitioners.[251][265]

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (12 January 1918[2] – 5 February 2008) was born Mahesh Prasad Varma and became known as Maharishi (meaning "great seer")[3][4] and Yogi as an adult.[5][6] He developed the Transcendental Meditation technique and was the leader and guru of a worldwide organization that has been characterized in multiple ways including as a new religious movement and as non-religious.[7][8][9]
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi became a disciple and assistant of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya (spiritual leader) of Jyotirmath in the Indian Himalayas. The Maharishi credits Brahmananda Saraswati with inspiring his teachings. In 1955, the Maharishi began to introduce his Transcendental Deep Meditation (later renamed Transcendental Meditation) to India and the world. His first global tour began in 1958.[10] His devotees referred to him as His Holiness,[11] and because he often laughed in TV interviews he was sometimes referred to as the "giggling guru."[12][13][14]
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Maharishi achieved fame as the guru to the BeatlesThe Beach Boys and other celebrities. In the late 1970s, he started the TM-Sidhi programme that claimed to offer practitioners the ability to levitate and to create world peace.[15] The Maharishi's Natural Law Party was founded in 1992, and ran campaigns in dozens of countries. He moved to near Vlodrop, the Netherlands, in the same year.[16] In 2000, he created the Global Country of World Peace, a non-profit organization, and appointed its leaders. In 2008, the Maharishi announced his retirement from all administrative activities and went into silence until his death three weeks later.[17]
The Maharishi is reported to have trained more than 40,000 TM teachers, taught the Transcendental Meditation technique to "more than five million people" and founded thousands of teaching centres and hundreds of colleges, universities and schools,[18][19][20] while TM websites report tens of thousands learned the TM-Sidhi programme. His initiatives include schools and universities with campuses in several countries including India, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.[21] The Maharishi, his family and close associates created charitable organisations and for-profit businesses including health clinics, mail-order health supplements and organic farms. The reported value of the Maharishi's organization has ranged from the millions to billions of U.S. dollars and in 2008, the organization placed the value of their United States assets at about $300 million.[18]



The birth name, birth date, and caste of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi are not known with certainty, in part because of the tradition of ascetics and monks to relinquish family connections.[22] Many accounts say he was born Mahesh Prasad Varma (Hindiमहेश प्रसाद वर्मा) into a Kayastha family living in the Central Provinces of British India.[4][23][24] A different name appears in the Allahabad University list of distinguished alumni, where he is listed as M.C. Srivastava.[25] and an obituary says his name was "Mahesh Srivastava."[26][27][28][29]
Various accounts give the year of his birth as 1911, 1917 or 1918.[14] Authors Paul Mason and William Jefferson say that he was born 12 January 1917 in Jabalpur, Central Provinces.[30][31] The place of birth given in his passport is "Pounalulla" India and his birth date as 12 January 1918.[32] Mahesh came from an upper-caste family,[33] being a member of the Kayastha caste, a high-status caste whose traditional profession is writing.[31][34][35]

Early life[edit]

Mahesh studied physics at Allahabad University and earned a degree in 1942.[23][30] While a few sources say that he worked at Gun Carriage Factory in Jabalpur for some time,[36][37] most report that in 1941, he became an administrative secretary to the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati (also known as Guru Dev)[30][34][38][39][40] and took a new name, Bal Brahmachari Mahesh.[5]:22 [41] Coplin refers to bala brahmachari as both a title and a name, and considers that it "identified him as a fully dedicated student of spiritual knowledge and life-long celibate ascetic."[41] The Maharishi recalls how it took about two and a half years to attune himself to the thinking of Brahmananda Saraswati and to gain "a very genuine feeling of complete oneness."[42] At first Brahmachari Mahesh performed common chores but gained trust and became Guru Dev's "personal secretary"[43] and "favored pupil."[30] He was trusted to take care of the bulk of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati's correspondence without direction, and was also sent out to give public speeches on Vedic (scriptural) themes.[5]:22
Brahmachari Mahesh remained with Swami Brahmananda Saraswati until the latter died in 1953, when he moved to Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand in the Himalayas. Although Brahmachari Mahesh was a close disciple, he could not be the Shankaracharya's spiritual successor because he was not of the Brahmin caste.[44][45] The Shankaracharya, at the end of his life, charged him with the responsibility of travelling and teaching meditation to the masses, while he named Swami Shantananda Saraswati as his successor.[36][46]

Tour in India (1955–1957)[edit]

In 1955,[14][47][48][49] Brahmachari Mahesh left Uttarkashi and began publicly teaching what he stated was a traditional meditation technique[50] learned from his master Brahmananda Saraswati, and that he called Transcendental Deep Meditation.[51]Later the technique was renamed Transcendental Meditation.[52] It was also then that he was first publicly known with the name "Maharishi" an honorific title meaning "great sage" after the title was given to him according to some sources from "Indian Pundits" and according to another source the honorific was given along with Yogi by followers in India. Later in the west the title was retained as a name.[6][53]
He traveled around India for two years[54][55] interacting with his "Hindu audiences" in an "Indian context".[56] At that time, he called his movement the Spiritual Development Movement,[34] but renamed it the Spiritual Regeneration Movement in 1957, in Madras, India, on the concluding day of the Seminar of Spiritual Luminaries.[14] According to Coplin, in his visits to southern India, the Maharishi spoke English rather than the Hindi spoken in his home area to avoid provoking resistance among those seeking linguistic self-determination, and to appeal to the "learned classes".[57]

World tours (1958–1968)[edit]

According to author William Jefferson, in 1958, the Maharishi went to Madras to address a large crowd of people who had gathered to celebrate the memory of Guru Dev. It was there that he spontaneously announced that he planned to spread the teaching of TM throughout the world. Hundreds of people immediately asked to learn TM.[31] In 1959, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi began his first world tour,[14][19] writing: "I had one thing in mind, that I know something which is useful to every man".[12]
The Maharishi's 1986 book, Thirty Years Around the World, gives a detailed account of his world tours, as do two biographies, The Story of the Maharishi, by William Jefferson, and The Maharishi by Paul Mason.[5][31] The first world tour began in Rangoon, Burma (now Myanmar) and included the countries of Thailand, Malaya, Singapore, Hong Kong and Hawaii.[58][59][60] He arrived in Hawaii in the spring of 1959 [34] and the Honolulu Star Bulletin reported: "He has no money, he asks for nothing. His worldly possessions can be carried in one hand. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is on a world odyssey. He carries a message that he says will rid the world of all unhappiness and discontent."[61] In 1959, the Maharishi lectured and taught the Transcendental Meditation technique in Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, New York and London.[19][58][62][63][64] While in Los Angeles the Maharishi stayed at the home of author Helena Olson,[58][65] and during this period he developed a three-year plan to propagate Transcendental Meditation to the whole world.[34] Though most of his audience consisted of average middle class individuals, he also attracted a few celebrities, such as Efrem Zimbalist Jr.Nancy Cooke de Herrera and Doris Duke.[6]

When the Maharishi came to the U.S. in 1959, his Spiritual Regeneration Movement was called Transcendental Meditation.[12] That same year he began the International Meditation Society and other organizations to propagate his teachings,[66] establishing centres in San Francisco and London.[67] For years, the sole teacher of Transcendental Meditation in America was a San Diego woman named Beulah Smith.[6]
In 1960, the Maharishi travelled to many cities in India, France, Switzerland, England, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Africa.[68][69]
While in Manchester, England, the Maharishi gave a television interview and was featured in many English newspapers such as the Birmingham Post, the Oxford Mail and the Cambridge Daily News.[70] This was also the year in which the Maharishi trained Henry Nyburg to be the first Transcendental Meditation teacher in Europe.[71][72]
In 1961, the Maharishi visited the USA,[30] Austria, Sweden, France, Italy, Greece, India, Kenya, England, and Canada.[54][73] While in England, he appeared on BBC television and gave a lecture to 5,000 people at the Royal Albert Hall in London.[54][74] In April 1961, the Maharishi conducted his first Transcendental Meditation Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh, India, with sixty participants from various countries.[19][75] Teachers continued to be trained as time progressed.[76] During the course, the Maharishi began to introduce additional knowledge regarding the development of human potential, and began writing his translation and commentary on the first six chapters of the ancient Vedic text, the Bhagavad Gita.[77][78]
His 1962 world tour included visits to Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand.[citation needed] In Britain, he founded a branch of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement.[30] The year concluded in California where the Maharishi began dictating his book The Science of Being and Art of Living.[79][80] In Rishikesh, India, beginning on 20 April 1962, a forty-day course was held for "sadhus, sanyasis, and brahmacharis" to introduce TM to "religious preachers and spiritual masters in India".[81]
The Maharishi toured cities in Europe, Asia, North America and India in 1963, and also addressed ministers of the Indian Parliament.[82][83] According to his memoirs, twenty-one members of parliament then issued a public statement endorsing the Maharishi's goals and meditation technique.[84] His Canadian tour[85] was also well covered by the press.[86]
The Maharishi's fifth world tour, in 1964, consisted of visits to many cities in North America, Europe and India.[87][88] During his visit to England, he appeared with the Abbot of Downside, Abbot Butler, on a BBC television show called The Viewpoint.[89][90] In October of that year, in California, the Maharishi began teaching the first Advanced Technique of Transcendental Meditation to some experienced meditators.[91][92] While travelling in America, the Maharishi met with Robert Maynard Hutchins, the head of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, and U Thant, the Secretary General of the United Nations.[93][94] During this same year, the Maharishi finished his book The Science of Being and Art of Living, which sold more than a million copies and was published in fifteen languages.[95]
In 1966, the Maharishi founded the Students' International Meditation Society ("SIMS"), which The Los Angeles Times later characterised as a "phenomenal success".[14][96] In the 1970s, SIMS centres were established at "over one thousand campuses",[97] including Harvard University, Yale University, and UCLA.[6]
In 1967, the Maharishi gave a lecture at Caxton Hall in London which was attended by Pattie BoydGeorge Harrison's wife,[67] as well as Leon MacLaren, the founder and leader of the School of Economic Science (SES).[5]:22 He also lectured at UCLA, Harvard, Yale and Berkeley.[98] That year, an article in Time magazine reported that the Maharishi "has been sharply criticised by other Indian sages, who complain that his programme for spiritual peace without either penance or asceticism contravenes every traditional Hindu belief".[99] Religion and culture scholar Sean McCloud also reported that traditional Indian sages and gurus were critical of the Maharishi, for teaching a simple technique and making it available to everyone, and for abandoning traditional concepts of suffering and concentration as paths to enlightenment.[100]
During 1967 and 1968 the Maharishi appeared on American magazine covers such as LifeNewsweekTime and many others.[101] He gave lectures to capacity crowds at the Felt Forum in New York City and Harvard's Sanders Hall.[6] He also appeared on The Tonight Show and the Today TV shows.[6] At the end of 1968, the Maharishi said that after ten years of teaching and world tours, he would return to India.[102]

Association with the Beatles[edit]

Main article: The Beatles in India
In 1967, the Maharishi's fame increased and his movement gained greater prominence when he became the "spiritual advisor to the Beatles",[95][103] though he was already well-known among young people in the UK and had already had numerous public appearances that brought him to the Beatles' attention.[104] They met in London in August 1967 and the Beatles went to study with the Maharishi in Bangor, Wales, before travelling to Rishikesh, India,[30] in February 1968 to "devote themselves fully to his instruction".[105] Ringo Starr and his wife Maureen left after ten days,[105][106][107] Paul McCartney and Jane Asher left after five weeks,[108][109][110] and Lennon and Harrison departed sixteen days later.[108] During their stay, the Beatles heard that the Maharishi had made sexual advances towards Mia Farrow.[111] On June 15, 1968, in London, the Beatles formally renounced their association with the Maharishi as a "public mistake". "Sexy Sadie" is the name of a song by the Beatles, written by John Lennon in India and credited to Lennon–McCartney.[105][112][113] Lennon originally wanted to title the song "Maharishi",[114] but changed the title at George Harrison's request. Harrison commented years later, "Now, historically, there's the story that something went on that shouldn't have done – but nothing did." In 1992, Harrison gave a benefit concert for the Maharishi-associated Natural Law Party, and later apologised for the way the Maharishi had been treated by saying, "We were very young" and "It's probably in the history books that Maharishi 'tried to attack Mia Farrow' – but it's bullshit, total bullshit." Cynthia Lennon wrote in 2006 that she "hated leaving on a note of discord and mistrust, when we had enjoyed so much kindness from the Maharishi". Asked if he forgave the Beatles, the Maharishi replied, "I could never be upset with angels." McCartney took his daughter, Stella, to visit the Maharishi in the Netherlands in 2007,[187] which renewed their friendship.[46][188][115] The New York Times and The Independent reported that the influence of the Maharishi, and the journey to Rishikesh to meditate, weaned the Beatles from LSD and inspired them to write many new songs.[67][105] In 2009, McCartney commented that Transcendental Meditation was a gift the Beatles had received from the Maharishi at a time when they were looking for something to stabilise them.[116] The Beatles' visit to the Maharishi's ashram coincided with a thirty-participant Transcendental Meditation teacher training course that was ongoing when they arrived. Graduates of the course included Prudence Farrow and Mike Love.[117][118][119]

The Beatles invoke mages of Aleister Crowley and The Beach Boys invoke images of Manson.
Speaking of Manson, allegedly he was "clear" in the Scientology religion.   If we look at those classy people we also see "alien" imagery.

The story of Xenu is covered in OT III, part of Scientology's secret "Advanced Technology" doctrines taught only to advanced members who have undergone many hours of auditing and reached the state of Clear followed by Operating Thetan levels 1 and 2.[7][12] It is described in more detail in the accompanying confidential "Assists" lecture of October 3, 1968, and is dramatized in Revolt in the Stars (a screen-story -- in the form of a novel -- written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1977).[7][22]
 So here you have it.   This by no means proves aliens do not exist.   It does show a pattern repeated through history that evolves into mind control.   Chew on that for a few.   I might put one more together with the channelers and more proof of aliens.   People like Jacques Vallee, JZ Knight and more will round off a cast of characters that will make you believe.
