Dear Olga,
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It was great to talk with you again the other morning (even
|
|||
|
though th only time I could finally get a circuit between the United
|
|||
|
States and Moscow was about 4:30 _AM_ -- when my body kept insisting
|
|||
|
it was still "night!"). From the sound of your voice and our brief
|
|||
|
conversation, including our exchange last Spring at Peggy Carters',
|
|||
|
I know if we lived closer -- at least on the same continent -- we'd
|
|||
|
have many things to talk about -- especially now, in view of what is
|
|||
|
taking place around the world.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Attached is my "Op-Ed piece" on our Mars Investigation -- and
|
|||
|
what I now believe is the "fingerprint" of its dramatic, real-world
|
|||
|
impact on the current history taking place before our eyes. I look
|
|||
|
forward eagerly to your reaction.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I've thought a lot about what you were trying to describe that
|
|||
|
night so many months ago, when you were telling us about the new,
|
|||
|
important role for journalism in your country; it reminded me of the
|
|||
|
feelings trhat I had, when I got my first major journalistic opportun-
|
|||
|
ity "to make a difference." At the somewhat "tender" age of twenty-
|
|||
|
three, I was suddenly, "miraculously," invited to join CBS News about
|
|||
|
twenty years ago (see attached biographical sketch) -- "to help them
|
|||
|
go to the Moon." [The actual invitation was to become a science adv-
|
|||
|
isor, during the Apollo lunar missions, to Walter Cronkite (can you
|
|||
|
believe?). At the time, Walter was known as "the most trusted man in
|
|||
|
America," and indication of the esteem in which he was held, both by
|
|||
|
the public and his journalistic colleagues].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The almost indescribable feelings that I had on that remarkable
|
|||
|
occasion -- when I realized that my (at the time, _very_ meager!) sci-
|
|||
|
ence journalistic skills were actually being sought by an almost legen-
|
|||
|
dary world news organization, if not by its very dean of journalism (!),
|
|||
|
to contribute even in a tiny way towards an unprecedented moment in the
|
|||
|
history of all Humanity, the First Lunar Landing -- I've thought, many
|
|||
|
times since our first meeting, must have been very similar to the
|
|||
|
feelings you attempted to describe that night in North Carolina, in-
|
|||
|
volving your own role these days in Moscow: being witness to -- if not
|
|||
|
an active participant in -- History.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If I remember correctly, you said something like "we [journalists]
|
|||
|
now feel like soldiers 'on the front lines.' We feel a great, almost
|
|||
|
historic responsibility to may 'peristroyka' work!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Because of the historic "moment" you are now experiencing, Olga
|
|||
|
-- participating in the extraordinary rebirth of an entire nation,
|
|||
|
literally grappling with the Future (as opposed to "just" reporting it)
|
|||
|
-- I believe that you can share some of my own vicarious excitement,
|
|||
|
as I watch from half-way around the world, and wonder. . . is it
|
|||
|
_possible_ that, behind ALL the extraordinary, revolutionary changes
|
|||
|
we are seeing. . . what we have discovered on the Viking photographs
|
|||
|
is partially responsible. . . ?!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
ANCIENT RUINS LYING ON A NEARBY PLANET, RUINS WHICH WILL CHANGE
|
|||
|
THE COURSE OF HISTORY FOR EACH OF US. . . IF THEY AREN'T DOING SO
|
|||
|
ALREADY?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When we first discussed the possibility of my writing something
|
|||
|
for you regarding our research, I certainly could not have stated these
|
|||
|
ideas with such apparent certainty. But, over the course of the summer,
|
|||
|
several major breakthroughs have occurred -- on both the scientific
|
|||
|
front, and on the "politics of verification." These have remarkably
|
|||
|
verified our "intelligence hypothesis," and crystallized my thoughts
|
|||
|
-- and the result is the "editorial" you have before you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The dramatic political developments -- which have included a
|
|||
|
_total_reversal_ of "policy" with regard to the "Cydonia artifacts"
|
|||
|
by NASA, and in less that 6 months (correspondence attached to this
|
|||
|
letter) -- occurred, after 13 years of dismissing the possibility as
|
|||
|
"nonsense," almost as rapidly as the revolutionary changes your
|
|||
|
government is now undergoing after 70 years, prompting me to ask:
|
|||
|
what's really going on here?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In particular, when you and I first met, I had just returned
|
|||
|
from Washington (April 19), and a face-to-face meeting with Congress-
|
|||
|
man Robert A. Roe, head of the most powerful science committee in the
|
|||
|
U.S. Congress. As you can see from the attached correspondence (just
|
|||
|
follow the dates), after our meeting Roe asked me for a memo of re-
|
|||
|
commendations. . . then he took a long time (over 6 months) doing
|
|||
|
"something". . . followed by a sudden flurry of announcements to the
|
|||
|
media and various constituents, affirming (directly opposite NASA's
|
|||
|
previous "position") that "NASA does plan to take new images of the
|
|||
|
'Monuments of Mars'. . ." The very day the article in the WALL STREET
|
|||
|
JOURNAL, announcing this development, appeared, was the _same_day_
|
|||
|
that Chairman Roe did an interview for radio (I have the tape) in
|
|||
|
which he bluntly said, "I've seen the [Viking] pictures. . . and they
|
|||
|
[the objects] don't appear natural. It would be stupid _not_ to look!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This from the Chairman of a major Congressional Committee in
|
|||
|
the U.S. Government!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As if this weren't enough, as I said, we also had a major
|
|||
|
scientific breakthrough this summer in the Cydonia research: we
|
|||
|
believe we've now actually _decoded_ the first part of a _mathematical_
|
|||
|
_message_ represented by the exquisite, redundant geometry we had
|
|||
|
previously discovered at Cydonia. How do we know? Because the
|
|||
|
mathematics _predict_ certain geophysical events, at _specific_
|
|||
|
latitudes on other planets in the solar system, and the Sun. . . and
|
|||
|
when we look at the geodetic maps of these celestial bodies -- the
|
|||
|
phenomena are there!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As I said many times in MONUMENTS: "Science is nothing, if it's
|
|||
|
not prediction."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In mid-August we published a technical paper on these dramatic
|
|||
|
findings -- including a series of _very_specific_ geophysical pre-
|
|||
|
dictions regarding what our Voyager unmanned spacecraft would find at
|
|||
|
Neptune (_before_ it got to Neptune!). Because of the short lead-time,
|
|||
|
we published electronically in a world-wide computer-information system
|
|||
|
called "Compuserv" (the managers of Compuserv have specifically told
|
|||
|
me, incidentally, that they will give you _free_access_ from Moscow, if
|
|||
|
you want to communicate "live" with our on-going Mars Mission Issues
|
|||
|
conversation, where we are actively discussing the major issues that I
|
|||
|
raise in my "guest editorial." Or, you can simply access a vast range
|
|||
|
of information. We can discuss details of that fascinating possibility
|
|||
|
later, if you're interested).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Anyway, two weeks after we had published our "message paper,"
|
|||
|
Voyager flew by Neptune. . . and observed _exactly_ what our "Cydonia
|
|||
|
equations" had predicted -- based on a set of mathematical geophysical
|
|||
|
principles discovered where there should be nothing capable of giving
|
|||
|
any valid predictions for events taking place on a planet in the distant
|
|||
|
outer solar system!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The only logical conclusion you can come to from these data, is
|
|||
|
that we indeed have successfully decoded a specific "message" intended
|
|||
|
by someone -- whomever "built" Cydonia -- to lead whomever would
|
|||
|
discover "the Cydonia artifacts" to these _specific_geophysical_
|
|||
|
_phenomena_. Why? Because they are clues to how planets really "work"
|
|||
|
-- including our own Earth. And finding that out is essential to
|
|||
|
_preserving_ any planet, if not possibly much more (we're working on
|
|||
|
additional possibilities right now).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So you put these remarkable developments together, and you wind
|
|||
|
up asking: "Are we the _only_ smart guys on this planet, to have
|
|||
|
finally figured it out -- if only the beginning?!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And the answer is: "Of course not."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Your next question might be: "If these facts were also known
|
|||
|
to members of the Government, particularly, since one key member --
|
|||
|
a Chairman of a major Congressional Committee -- has now publicly
|
|||
|
admitted "they _don't_ appear natural. . .") -- HOW WOULD THE GOV-
|
|||
|
ERNMENT BE ACTING?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And, if you had, in fact (as I report in the editorial),
|
|||
|
briefed high-level members of both governments -- the U.S. and the
|
|||
|
U.S.S.R. -- and one of them subsequently had a brilliantly-equipped,
|
|||
|
working spacecraft actually in orbit around Mars for several months
|
|||
|
. . . before it mysteriously "quit," your next logical question would
|
|||
|
_have_to_be_:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
DID THAT SPACECRAFT ACTUALLY _FIND_ SOMETHING. . . SOMETHING
|
|||
|
WHICH COMPLETELY VERIFIES OUR VIKING INFORMATION, IF NOT RADICALLY
|
|||
|
_EXTENDS_ IT. . . ?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But then you'd have to ask: "If that were true, if Mr. Gorbachev
|
|||
|
is truly holding absolute proof (from Phobos 2) of the most phenomenal
|
|||
|
discovery in history -- HOW WOULD HE BE ACTING?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
My conclusions -- if not some of the significant evidence which
|
|||
|
has led to these conclusions (the computer-enhanced Viking photographs,
|
|||
|
along with my official documents and letters) -- you now have before
|
|||
|
you my "editorial."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Olga, after a lot of soul-searching and weighing of our evidence,
|
|||
|
I think the confirmation that the Human Race Is Not Alone -- as Mr.
|
|||
|
Reagan _repeatedly_ has provided us the clues (see "editorial") -- is
|
|||
|
the _only_ thing "big enough" to have suddenly , almost overnight,
|
|||
|
forced the radical events we have been witnessing. And I think pro-
|
|||
|
viding the crucial, hard evidence of that New Reality, to a series of
|
|||
|
major leaders at the top of key governments (including now, the Pope!)
|
|||
|
-- both within and without the so-called "Communist world" -- is the
|
|||
|
reason Mr. Gorbachev remains so confident that the major "restructuring"
|
|||
|
he's planning for your country -- if not the world -- is actually going
|
|||
|
to succeed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Because, if I am right, this discovery represents an extra-
|
|||
|
ordinary New Beginning for Humanity. And Mr. Gorbachev, more now than
|
|||
|
any other leader (since Ronald Reagan's Presidency ended), seems to
|
|||
|
realize the power of that concept for creating needed Change. Just
|
|||
|
compare television images of him and Mr. Bush. . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Olga, I know this sounds bizarre. It would have appeared that
|
|||
|
way to me, if anyone had seriously proposed this even a few months ago.
|
|||
|
But the Mars data is inviolable, and the terrestrial clues are there --
|
|||
|
including a series of truly curious events I _didn't_ detail in the
|
|||
|
editorial, for simple lack of space. These events include:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A September meeting, against the backdrop of developments
|
|||
|
sweeping out of Moscow and across all Eastern Europe, between ex-CIA
|
|||
|
and ex-KGB agents, held in the United States -- ostensibly, to discuss
|
|||
|
"possible interagency cooperation on international terrorism." One
|
|||
|
key participant -- Mr. William Colby, former Director of the CIA --
|
|||
|
as he was being interviewed on the ABC network program, NIGHTLINE,
|
|||
|
along with Lt. General Fjodor Sherbak, former First Deputy Director
|
|||
|
of the KGB, suddenly introduced into the conversation (for a total of
|
|||
|
_five_ occasions in the last four years) former President Reagan's
|
|||
|
curious scenario. Colby:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"President Reagan said to Mr. Gorbachev one time, that if
|
|||
|
hostile MARTIANS [sic] landed on the Earth, we would be together
|
|||
|
against them. . . (emphasis added)."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the context of what we have discovered on the Viking images,
|
|||
|
and against Roe's own comments that "they don't appear natural," isn't
|
|||
|
that just a little _too_ coincidental. . . ? What REALLY was occurring
|
|||
|
at that meeting? And remember, Mr. Gorbachev used to be the equivalent
|
|||
|
of Deputy Director of the KGB. . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Or, take the following, truly bizarre sequence of events:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Within days of this strange repetition of Reagan's curious
|
|||
|
"alien threat" -- and from a former head of the U.S. intelligence
|
|||
|
community no less -- came a bizarre, real-life "extraterrestrial
|
|||
|
invasion story," appearing on the official TASS wires. The "report"
|
|||
|
originated out of Voronezh, a city of about 800,000 people south of
|
|||
|
Moscow. The correspondent, writing from Voronezh, seriously des-
|
|||
|
cribed a "landing" in a city park by a "glowing alien vehicle"; a
|
|||
|
"stroll around the park" by its giant humanoid inhabitants; and
|
|||
|
even the temporary "disappearance" of one of the severely frightened
|
|||
|
witnesses through the action of some kind of "ray of light," wielded
|
|||
|
by the "aliens." The witnesses consisted of both children and adults,
|
|||
|
reportedly including one high-ranking police official from the city,
|
|||
|
Lt. Sergei A. Matveyev.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In early October, President Gorbachev visited East Germany,
|
|||
|
to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the German Democratic Republic.
|
|||
|
He then returned to Moscow, amid reports that Eric Honecker had
|
|||
|
issued live ammunition and crackdown orders, against increasing
|
|||
|
demonstrations for democracy across East Germany.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then, suddenly, the preceding official TASS report, on an
|
|||
|
"alien invasion of a Soviet City," appeared on official Soviet
|
|||
|
television, in the official Party newspaper, SOVIETSKAYA KULTURA,
|
|||
|
and throughout the West -- including in THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE
|
|||
|
WASHINGTON POST, and on our evening network television. . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
THE SAME DAY -- OCTOBER 9 -- THAT ERIC HONECKER WAS SUDDENLY
|
|||
|
REPLACED BY EGAN KRENZ, AS HEAD OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE GDR.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Then, a few days after returning from his own quick trip to
|
|||
|
Moscow, Egan Krenz, after instituing additional sweeping changes in
|
|||
|
the entire GDR government and Party structure, announced dramatically
|
|||
|
that the Berlin Wall "is obsolete" -- and three million East Germans
|
|||
|
flocked to West Berlin across one deliriously happy weekend, as we
|
|||
|
all watched in disbelief. . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Mr. Reagan's "human family," at least in Eastern Europe, was
|
|||
|
taking shape with staggering rapidity and, eerily, precisely as Mr.
|
|||
|
Reagan had himself, repeatedly, "predicted" -- this time, literally
|
|||
|
against the backdrop of an officially-reported "alien invasion" of
|
|||
|
the Soviet Union. . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
What the hell was REALLY going on. . . a "public reminder" --
|
|||
|
to a new, unenthusiastic Bush Administration in the West, and to a
|
|||
|
resisting Party structure in the GDR -- "to get with the Reagan-
|
|||
|
Gorbachev program" . . . or else Gorbachev would prematurely reveal
|
|||
|
the evidence (from Phobos 2) of REAL aliens (which is the _last_ thing
|
|||
|
this American government wants)?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Is that why Bush (and Baker) are so obviously _unenthusiastic_
|
|||
|
about the upcoming Malta meetings? Because now, it's clearly "Gorby's
|
|||
|
game?" I (and a lot of other Western observers, who have remarked
|
|||
|
about it repeatedly in all our media the past few weeks) have seen
|
|||
|
men going to their own _hangings_ -- who've looked happier!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Olga, as hard as this evidence, and as fantastic as my inter-
|
|||
|
pretation of the effects it is creating, might seem -- are the "real"
|
|||
|
events any less fantastic? And do the "it's all driven by the des-
|
|||
|
perate Soviet economics" explanations really "fit?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If it weren't for our now indisputable imaging and mathematical
|
|||
|
evidence, and the repeated statements of a former President of the
|
|||
|
United States (not to mention Chairman Roe's own statements and actions
|
|||
|
on behalf of our findings), I would say "yes." But the contrary
|
|||
|
evidence is there, and almost overwhelming; something of this magnitude
|
|||
|
-- unprecedented in all human history, therefore, CALLING FOR AN UN-
|
|||
|
PRECEDENTED HUMAN RESPONSE -- _must_ be behind the staggering events
|
|||
|
that are occurring. It is the only thing which could be "bigger" than
|
|||
|
"history as usual," creating a need for unprecedented actions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If this analysis is true, the _real_ facts and decisions that
|
|||
|
are being made are being hidden from us. These _must_ be made public,
|
|||
|
I believe -- and publicly debated. Otherwise -- as I end the editorial
|
|||
|
-- "glasnost" and "self-determination" are merely hollow phrases, being
|
|||
|
parroted by leaders who are _all_ treating us like children -- which
|
|||
|
has been precisely the problem for too much of human history!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I'll bet you didn't expect this, when you invited me to do a
|
|||
|
piece for you on our research! But, ask yourself: if the Viking
|
|||
|
evidence we have painstakingly assembled (some of which you now
|
|||
|
possess) is truly what we think, what would we be seeing as its
|
|||
|
effect upon the world -- given, that the leadership decided NOT to
|
|||
|
tell us. . . yet. . . until we were somehow properly "prepared" to
|
|||
|
handle it?! And what would that "preparation" look like?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You now know what I believe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As I was finishing the final draft of what I have submitted,
|
|||
|
I realized that what we had originally discussed -- a presentation
|
|||
|
of our "ET evidence," followed by a discussion of how it will affect
|
|||
|
"the average Soviet citizen" -- was just not possible within a single
|
|||
|
editorial; events have progressed too far and too rapidly: if this
|
|||
|
hypothesis is accurate, both the "average Soviet citizen" and the
|
|||
|
"average American citizen" are being deeply affected _at_this_very_
|
|||
|
_moment_, as are the "average citizens" of the GDR, Czechoslovakia,
|
|||
|
Hungary, Poland, etc. -- if not the rest of humanity on Earth. These
|
|||
|
effects are not going to occur in some hypothetical and distant
|
|||
|
"future"; they are happening _right_now_ -- only , without the proper
|
|||
|
background information, no one knows how to interpret these events.
|
|||
|
Therefore, a good deal of the piece contains the crucial "background."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But, Olga, I still feel that readers need a further amplif-
|
|||
|
ication of the immense consequences flowing from this now rapidly-
|
|||
|
advancing, unprecedented situation.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For instance, that one extraordinary, almost immediate effect
|
|||
|
-- with staggering, immediate consequences for everyone on Earth --
|
|||
|
has been the visible, rapid retreat of the likelihood of nuclear
|
|||
|
annihilation. Even our Defense Secretary, Richard Cheny (sic), has
|
|||
|
turned (in less than _two_weeks_,) from a vigilant "hawk," who was
|
|||
|
then giving speeches arguing that we "could not rest our national
|
|||
|
security on the future of one man, Mr. Gorbachev," into someone now
|
|||
|
agressively promoting the need for about 180 billion dollars worth
|
|||
|
of U.S. defense _cuts_ -- over the next three years -- regardless of
|
|||
|
whether President Gorbachev is still around! Clearly, Cheny feels
|
|||
|
there has been some kind of _fundamental_ change in the Soviet
|
|||
|
Union. . . or in the larger situation embracing _both_ the super-
|
|||
|
powers on this planet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The immediate4 _economic_ effect of this new attitude is
|
|||
|
also making itself felt, not only in the United States but also in
|
|||
|
your country: a so-called "peace-dividend," the monies that here-
|
|||
|
tofore have been lavished on these huge, super-expensive arms-
|
|||
|
stockpiles and high-tech weapons systems -- an almost uncountable
|
|||
|
number of conventional weapons, nuclear warheads, intercontinental
|
|||
|
missiles, planes, bombers, battleships, etc. -- is being rapidly
|
|||
|
"earmarked" for diversion into "productive," peaceful industries;
|
|||
|
I understand there are, even now, former rocket factories in the
|
|||
|
U.S.S.R. which have already been "converted" -- and are, in part,
|
|||
|
making bicycles!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Olga, because of the necessity of providing proper background
|
|||
|
to this whole extraordinary sequence of developments, I was only
|
|||
|
able -- in a line! -- to touch upon this immediate economic "dividend"
|
|||
|
of finding out the Human Race Is Not Alone. But there is more --
|
|||
|
_much_ more.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
So, here is my additional proposal:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you like what I have given you, and decide to run it, I
|
|||
|
would like to expand upon the "effects" of these developments in a
|
|||
|
"Part II." Since the economic impact of what is taking place is of
|
|||
|
crucial importance to both of our respective cultures, the process
|
|||
|
of "conversion" of 40 years of weapons industries to productive
|
|||
|
output should be of major interest to your readers -- particularly,
|
|||
|
if it is directly coupled (as it _will_ be) to the exploration of
|
|||
|
what we've found on Mars.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For years, we have been discussing in the United States --
|
|||
|
both inside and outside of NASA -- the potentially awesome terrestrial
|
|||
|
economic effects of establishing "space industries" in orbit, to ex-
|
|||
|
ploit the unique resources and enviroments of outer space. But with
|
|||
|
massive weapons budgets and other constraints upon our federal budget,
|
|||
|
there have been no "extra" monies to pay for such developments. Your
|
|||
|
country, with its "MIR" space station and its various "materials
|
|||
|
experiments" conducted during the long "stay-time" in zero-gravity by
|
|||
|
cosmonauts in orbit, has developed far more experiences than we have
|
|||
|
in exploring the kinds of materials that one can uniquely make in
|
|||
|
orbit -- then send down to Earth. But even your space program has
|
|||
|
been limited in applying this developing technology, by the massive
|
|||
|
resources that have been going to the military, and by one other real
|
|||
|
constraint -- the current, prohibitively expensive necessity of taking
|
|||
|
_all_ materials, to be processed, into space from Earth. The costs
|
|||
|
of lifting those resources _into_ space for processing, with present,
|
|||
|
primitive rockets, is simply "killing."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
All that dramatically can change -- if we pursue its exploration
|
|||
|
properly -- because of what we have discovered at Cydonia.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
What I would like to cover in "Part II" is the stunning
|
|||
|
economic prospects for mining the _Martian_moons_ for these critical
|
|||
|
resources, and the resulting industrial renaissance these abundant,
|
|||
|
unique materials could stimulate on Earth -- with all the resulting
|
|||
|
economic "fall-out" of new industries, new jobs, new markets, and new
|
|||
|
consumer goods. Many economic studies, carried out both in the
|
|||
|
United States and in the Soviet Union, indicate that with current
|
|||
|
space technology (such as our space shuttle) IT IS CHEAPER TO GO TO
|
|||
|
THE MARTIAN MOONS AND RETURN, THAN TO SEND MEN AND WOMEN OT THE
|
|||
|
SURFACE OF OUR OWN MOON! (One of our own MARS MISSION associates,
|
|||
|
Dr. Brian O'Leary, mentioned in the editorial, is an extensively
|
|||
|
published pioneer in many of these studies.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The fact that the Soviet Phobos mission was directed at
|
|||
|
intensive study of the composition of the _moons_ of Mars, before
|
|||
|
its enigmatic "failure," is demonstration of the Soviet perception
|
|||
|
of eventual economic importance of these objects. _If_ we have
|
|||
|
indeed discovered a former extraterrestrial civilization once
|
|||
|
resident within the Martian system, the political and social impetus
|
|||
|
to exploring fully its potential -- if adequately publicized --
|
|||
|
could easily create an economic renaissance which could dramatically
|
|||
|
affect the economies of both our countries -- particularly, if we
|
|||
|
_jointly_ agree to explore the Martian "ruins," and similarly, to
|
|||
|
_jointly_ develop the technologies to exploit the moons of Mars.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The result could be a swift, almost painless, economic
|
|||
|
transition -- for those major industries in both our countries
|
|||
|
which currently employ millions of workers in the production of
|
|||
|
weapons of destruction -- rockets, warheads, advanced electronic
|
|||
|
avionics, and all the other high-tech gadgetry used in making war.
|
|||
|
These same skills and technologies, employed through such a "Mars
|
|||
|
conversion program," could usher in a literal New Age for everyone
|
|||
|
on Earth.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
But of course, if I am right, the greatest benefit of all will
|
|||
|
be in the dramatic new perspective that these discoveries will give
|
|||
|
to every person living on this planet. There is almost a "spiritual
|
|||
|
dimension" to discovering this truth -- that Humanity is NOT alone
|
|||
|
before the Universe. This, I believe, is why those Orthodox Russian
|
|||
|
priests were invited into the Phobos 2 Control Center. . . and why
|
|||
|
Mr. Gorbachev met with Pope John-Paul this morning just prior to
|
|||
|
his first face-to-face meeting with the current American President;
|
|||
|
invoking the spiritual leaders on this planet in helping us to
|
|||
|
"break the news" will be _essential_ to successful "preparation"
|
|||
|
of the planet for the truth.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Well, that's it for now. I eagerly look forward to hearing
|
|||
|
from you regarding all of this. I know it's a LOT to take in all
|
|||
|
at once. But, just look at your television screen this weekend. . .
|
|||
|
Does any other explanation really fit?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Enjoy. . .
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
P.S. I had another thought. If you agree that this should now
|
|||
|
be publicly debated -- and in both our countries -- I would suggest
|
|||
|
you might propose to the American television network news program,
|
|||
|
NIGHTLINE, that they do a _joint_ program on this information with
|
|||
|
your television program, in Moscow. You could contact Terry Irving,
|
|||
|
the NIGHTLINE producer Ted Koppel assigned some months ago to
|
|||
|
research our story; we've met with Irving in Washington at the ABC
|
|||
|
News Bureau for several hours, now, and have provided him with all
|
|||
|
the images and analyses -- including now a copy of my "editorial".
