Here's the TRUTH!!
Dateline 4/2/97
Heaven's Gate
Heaven's Gate Top Secret Connection to Secret US military information
about UFO's, and a San Diego company called S.A.I.C. that controls the
INTERNET and which is secretly run by the US military!
Written by J. P. Essene
The day news came from San Diego about the deaths of Heavens Gate I
wrote an article about how something just didn't sound right about
Heavens Gate and suicide... see link to 3/27/97 article...
I reported that it was STRANGE that when I had tried to access the
site of heavensgate.com, I got a NO DNS REGISTRY MESSAGE on
3/27/97...
The only company that can put that message on the internet is named
InterNIC. That's the company that CONTROLS ALL ADDRESSES of
every site on the WWW!
The no access message was then changed to too many users on line
later that day, even though the Host server admitted to CNN that the
site was taken down...
So, all the information in the media about Heavens Gate from their
internet site was coming from mirrored sites. Or sites connected to
the Washington Post and Pathfinder which is owned by Time Warner...
I noted that files on the mirrored sites, such as the Post and
Pathfinder, didn't match the pre death indexes on search engines like
Alta Vista and Infoseek...
This group was known as being ANTI SUICIDE and they always told
members ONE DAY the government or those in power would harm them
because of information they would put out about UFO's...
Well, I got a lot of email from ex members validating my
suspicions...
Everyone who knew the members said it was hard to believe they
would kill themselves. Businesses that dealt regularly with the group
reported that only days before the deaths, the group had ordered new
computer equipment...
Sound like a group about to commit suicide???
Well, what about the tape???
From what I saw of the tape, it was a farewell from a group who
preached they would leave the planet on a UFO. A tape made in case
the ship came...
No mention of SUICIDE is made on the tape...
Was this tape just a planned goodbye in case they left on that
UFO...
Or did the group know they were about to be killed???
Well if the group was murdered, who then would want the group
killed...
Sollog who is a featured figure on this site for his ability to
write about the future, told me on 3/27/97, that San Diego,
algorithm's and control of the INTERNET would play a part in this
tragedy...
Amazing! Is the only way to describe what I have uncovered in the
past 48 hours...
SAN DIEGO unknown to but a few in the KNOW, is actually the HEART
of the INTERNET...
That old saying about who OWNS or CONTROLS the internet is usually
answered with the reply well no one...
NOT! Here's the TRUTH about who controls the WWW...
To have a site on the internet you have to have a valid registered
address that is cleared through only ONE source, a company called
InterNIC...
The company I mentioned in my original article on 3/27/97...
The same company that denied access to this site from 4/1/97 until
4/3/97...
Yes! This site was inaccessible because of actions taken by
InterNIC the same company I had reamed in my 3/27/97 article about
how they were denying access to Heavens Gate... They did the same
thing to www.whatshotin.com.
Now, InterNIC on the face looks like a neutral company safeguarding
the addresses of all web sites on the www, since it allegedly won the
publicly offered job of safeguarding these addresses , in a public
offer. A job that was given out by the US government...
HOWEVER... InterNIC is owned by Network Solutions whose web site is
www.netsol.com. AND Network solutions is owned by S.A.I.C. a
company that is LOCATED in SAN DIEGO the VERY HOME of Heavens Gate...
Coincidence????
Well, if you look at this company closely, that is named S.A.I.C.,
they list on the www it's board of directors! There you will find
these individuals...
B.R. Inman Retired Admiral in the US NAVY, former DIRECTOR of NSA
as in National Security Administration also on the board of Xerox.
He is reputed on the www, to be a key figure in the COVER UP of UFO
information that the US government is hiding! His neighbors near by
in Rancho Santa Fe, next to the executive offices of S.A.I.C. in La
Jolla were Heavens Gate!
Also on the board of S.A.I.C., J. A. Welch Retired General US Air
Force and let's not forget the ARMY since Retired General W. A.
Downing of the US Army is also on this BOARD that CONTROLS who is on
the INTERNET!
Yes, the MILITARY's key retired figures in every branch except the
Marines RUN the BOARD of S.A.I.C. a non governmental company that's
suppose to keep the addresses of the Internet safe...
So, who owns and runs the Internet... THE MILITARY of the US
government who have been linked to keeping UFO information secret
from the public! The offices of S.A.I.C. are located in La Jolla the
prestigious suburb of SAN DIEGO that is next to Rancho Santa Fe where
the Heavens Gate group died!
What was on the original site of Heavens Gate before the files were
altered and distributed by the Washington Post and Pathfinder???
Was there finally proof of UFO's in the hands of Heavens Gate...
Well the company that CONTROLS the INTERNET who has a little known
connection to the Military MEN accused of keeping the FACTS about
UFO's secret, pulled the plug on Heaven's Gate and this site ...
Believe it or NOT... those are the FACTS...
So, you can believe the information in the media controlled by this
group that I have mentioned, or look a little deeper...
Here's the links to prove that what I am saying as to who is on the
board of S.A.I.C is true. It's the web site of S.A.I.C. ....
http://www.saic.com/aboutsaic/bod.html
Check the search engines for B.R. Inman and you'll see numerous
articles about how he is CONNECTED TO UFO's and their COVER UP...
Here's a link to another email article from an ex member who says
the group always preached an ANTI SUICIDE message!

CYBERPUNKS MURDERED?
From a couple of well-informed, well placed individuals with
some personal knowledge of the matter, we are getting
confirmation that tells us that the unusual deaths that were
quickly labeled "another cult suicide" may be just the latest
slaughter of peaceful people by a government frantically trying to
conclude plans to implement a police state here in the US.
In fact, contrary to media reports of the "group’s desire to leave
Earth and rendezvous with a spaceship", the 18-24 year olds were
having a good time in Cyberland, and like most people their age
planned to remain in a more Earthly sphere of existence for at
least another 50 plus years.
It appears that these people were all members of a group that
produced the game Cyberpunk. It so happens the FBI had raided
this highly capable group of hackers and cryptography crackers
not very long ago. After the raid the live interactive game they
produced was put out of business. It was kind of hard to operate
it after the FBI carted off all their equipment, and some game
manuals that described "science fiction" technology in a way that
was far too accurate for the comfort of certain agencies.
Why would the FBI be so phreaked about a game? For the
government it was no game. They realized that the group was
letting everybody see the deepest darkest secrets in regards to
top secret high technology capabilities possessed by our
government's intelligence agencies. The group had a reputation
for being capable of cracking even the most guarded and protected
of the military and government sites.
According to someone who was familiar with and played the live
interactive game, it continually grew in complexity over time as it
was marketed. The creators kept adding so many strange new
weapons, devices, implants, etc., that it finally became necessary
to reference the manual just to understand what they were talking
about.
Few ever realized that the game manual described real technology
actually being mass produced and stockpiled by our government.
Cyberpunk was on the money and not the science fiction that
most players thought it was. The game manual actually used the
correct names and descriptions of super advanced and supposedly
super secret technology.
Displaying that good old American spirit of ingenuity at turning
adversity into opportunity, we are told that some brilliant person
in Washington DC has promoted using this incident to further the
efforts to restrict our Constitutional rights. Do not be surprised if
Dianne Feinstein proposes legislation to protect families from the
"menace of cults that can invade the home" and drive people to
commit suicide or even murder their own parents.
What was that? Do I already hear the drum beats of the media
getting restless to begin the attack?
Be interesting to see how many column inches and for how long
this one is played up.
I would really love to have a copy (or a copy of a copy) of one of
the game manuals that was confiscated.
Anybody know where to get one?
Don’t get phreaked, just remember to keep spreading the word,
because: If there are no servants there are no masters.

Oh fer crissakes -- that was one of the stupidest f*cking diatribes I've
read in a good long while. Almost as absurd as that silly-ass "Nicole was
whacked by the Yakuza" bullsh*t. Get a clue, you moron. Here -- this
comes from their very own website.

::: Our Position Against Suicide :::
[by The Cult That Just Committed Suicide]
We know that it is only while we are in these physical vehicles
(bodies) that we can learn the lessons needed to complete our own
individual transition, as well as to complete our task of offering
the Kingdom of Heaven to this civilization one last time. We take
good care of our vehicles so they can function well for us in this
task, and we try to protect them from any harm.
We fully desire, expect, and look forward to boarding a spacecraft
from the Next Level very soon (in our physical bodies). There is
no doubt in our mind that our being "picked up" is inevitable in
the very near future. But what happens between now and then is
the big question. We are keenly aware of several possibilities.
It could happen that before that spacecraft comes, one or more
of us could lose our physical vehicles (bodies) due to "recall,"
accident, or at the hands of some irate individual. We do not
anticipate this, but it is possible. Another possibility is that,
because of the position we take in our information, we could find
so much disfavor with the powers that control this world that there
could be attempts to incarcerate us or to subject us to some sort
of psychological or physical torture (such as occurred at both
Ruby Ridge and Waco).
It has always been our way to examine all possibilities, and be
mentally prepared for whatever may come our way. For example,
consider what happened at Masada around 73 A.D. A devout Jewish
sect, after holding out against a siege by the Romans, to the best
of their ability, and seeing that the murder, rape, and torture of
their community was inevitable, determined that it was permissible
for them to evacuate their bodies by a more dignified, and less
agonizing method. We have thoroughly discussed this topic (of
willful exit of the body under such conditions), and have mentally
prepared ourselves for this possibility (as can be seen in a few
of our statements). However, this act certainly does not need
serious consideration at this time, and hopefully will not in the
future.
The true meaning of "suicide" is to turn against the Next Level
when it is being offered. In these last days, we are focused on
two primary tasks: one - of making a last attempt at telling the
truth about how the Next Level may be entered (our last effort at
offering to individuals of this civilization the way to avoid
"suicide"); and two - taking advantage of the rare opportunity we
have each day - to work individually on our personal overcoming
and change, in preparation for entering the Kingdom of Heaven.

Duh. I guess that proves it doesn't it?
Did you copy this web page before or after they were whacked?
Have you been eating lead paint chips ever since you were a small child?
Could explain it.
You just might learn something if you try to use what ever remaining
abilities you have to think about the following....
First witnesses on scene ( a mighty fair number of law officers reported to
that scene. )
said all dead were males between 18-24.
Now they are all the way up to 70 yrs and more than half female.
That is not a mistake I have ever made. I hope those deputies can identify
a stiff a little better than that.
Original reports stated applesauce with Vodka and downers. Give
you a hint the favorite poison of our homegrown spooks leave
slight odor of apples.
Do you really believe that they committed suicide over several day
period and stepped over bodies? Come on. There has never been
or as far as I can tell any mass suicide that took place over several days.
(yes, I know all about Jonestown and many others,) look at the details
here, and the changes from original stories.
Let's see so far. All the bodies have been changed by aliens from 18-24
year old males to mix of 20-70 year olds (and note predominantly female)
who all died at different times.
Gee now that almost sounds like a bunch of cadavers were grabbed on short
notice from a medical school (they always have shortage of males 18-24 as
this selfish and hedonistic age group is too busy doing bong hits and
eating pussy to think altruistically)
Now why is FBI involved in case? did they secure area for a time, I don't
know but Janet Reno is keeping close eye....on local suicide?
They paid p.o. box bill for 3-6 months day before and had well
stocked cupboards of food. Why when for months they have been planning on
dying this date and knew when comet would arrive.
Gee I wonder if the Web site might have been modified, nah, who would do a
thing like that. You have no idea how I got this info, or from how many
reliable sources it was confirmed. I had outline on job 2 hours after it
hit news.
If some of the highly placed and very diverse sources who confirmed
elements of this for me were feeding me disinformation then we are all
really screwed worse than you can possibly imagine.
On earlier posts today I had made clear that there might some minor
discrepancies as I had only personally confirmed 60-70% after receiving
matters separately confirmed by two solid sources.. still without third
party, and knowing some room for error, we stated that in first paragraph.
Beginning a little over a month ago I was entirely new to this form of
mass distribution of research/expose/intelligence type news materials.
Although I have done a fair amount of writing on many business matters over
the years, this is a very different ballgame.
As a result of this in the first couple of weeks I made one really stupid
(I now would consider) but still relatively immaterial mistake, and one
mistake that was very minor/technical. For what I felt was really a couple
of very minor errors, as all the important essentials still held......I GOT
VERY SEVERELY CHASTISED. After reflecting upon the matter I apologized
profusely sent out the corrections, and stated that I had learned my
lesson, and have been very careful since.
Frankly I have sent little information since, just because it is too time
consuming to answer every single person who challenges a fact. Many of
those people make many specific counter "charges" or "indictments" against
me. Accuse me of spreading disinformation, being an idiot, or so ignorant
how dare I insult their vast storehouse of knowledge.
This is really too bad as I have thousands and thousands of pages that
could blow peoples minds and I had originally hoped to distribute widely.
Unfortunately it is not worth the trouble to do so.
The result of trying to share information is continual attacks on
motivations, personal character, religious preferences, attitude on life,
ancestry, patriotism, dedication to the rules they think we should live our
lives by, etc etc. etc.
Although I generally now try to ignore such nonsense, these circling
carrion eating vultures of each e-mail posting on the WWW, can actually
cause damage to the movement by swaying those poor susceptible individuals
who suffer from severe logic deficit disorder, and severally crippled in
their olfactory abilities to detect stench given off by bulls- -t, even as
they are wading in it.
Another group emulate the pack mentality of wolves. They continually
taunt by firing off letter after letter with cc's to everybody they have
ever known in their last two incarnations, and then all those cc's demand
my immediate reply and production of absolute proof to a degree that not
even Johnny Cochran would ask a jury to seek.
If, heaven forbid, I should be a little busy and delay for a couple of days
in answering their never ending whines, or even more obnoxious, audacious
demands for immediate satisfaction, then all their little cc's pounce upon
this as the Rosetta stone by which they can unlock the mystery of the
stranger in their little village, who cannot be trusted for at least a few
generations. At the very least the pack never stops drooling over each new
perceived quantum particle in a never ending stream of minutiae.
These same people have usually never contributed an original piece of
research. Or they think that making paper airplanes out of garbage
newspaper articles and seeing how many other desks in the classroom you
can land them on to clutter and annoy other who may be working. For those
people the only battle they will ever have the courage to fight is one
where they will face no more than a broken nail from striking a keyboard
improperly. They feel smugly self important hidden behind a thick veil of
imitation patriotism while they sit at home launching missiles that cripple
and bog down real patriots, who are risking their lives daily to spread the
truth while holding out against overwhelming forces.
For a posting along the lines I sent out today here is the criteria I now
use to judge if it is proven enough to risk my reputation:
a) There must be no less than two different unrelated or known to each
other individuals in different information downlines.
b) Each of those individuals must have a reputation that they would destroy
by getting caught feeding disinformation.
c) If I cannot verify all facts personally, my wife, Kim, who has been
professional researcher will find for me the materials.
d) I must at least have critical elements established that shows a logic
and
likelihood or
e) have a number of other different sources or witnesses which verify
important particulars. After reported as factual by two unrelated
sources, if it cannot be confirmed further, and also matches pattern of
other info, such that it ties together, or fills in portion of bigger
picture I know to exist, then it would remain entirely unusable unless
there is some other compelling reason to feel it must be correct or should
at least be conveyed with a caveat.
Story on Clinton had several separately confirmed sources to different
degrees, however the combination of similarities and differences of
versions by different CIA and SS agents for example would make perfect
sense for reasons of respective personalities, placement on night in
question, and immediate firsthand knowledge.
All I can say is this in regards to our posting. Have two separate, but
both very well placed (different from above) positive confirms of critical
elements, and a third source from a reputable national political figure who
conducted his own investigation through entirely different channels. That
source so far has only confirmed things when asked directly by telling what
I know and stating they also confirm, or show not at all.
There is a portion I cut out that may go back in but couldn't reach person
and there was great need to rush piece out. Why? Heard from source there
was possibility Feinstein might quickly propose legislation as we
previously explained. For number of reasons it was vastly preferable to
get out quickly and monkey if possible with their plans, or earn potential
widespread media attention on murder if someone felt that was the tiny
nugget more of proof they needed to at least ask questions. (they sure
didn't wait on TWA did they?) It was not an opportunity that would be wise
to ignore. completely lose opportunity that could get
and
Now it is possible that they will change plans and proceed on different
tack as this could potentially reach over 100,000 people (several magazines
and e-zines have called for re-print permission which has been granted
also)
For what it is worth I do check into reputation for veracity and accuracy
of any new info/intel source.
I am hoping tomorrow to begin article that will totally tear apart the
public portions of the story which should make very clear how and why it is
certain public story is garbage. Soon as I first read it I could see an
obvious pattern and numerous spoors of the rodents who conduct and order
such actions. Within only a couple of hours after first hearing what
supposedly happened, I had started to get calls confirming and closely
paralleling my immediate suspicions.

Actually, only a few of them were between the ages of 18 and 24, and the
majority were women. Most of them were middle aged or elderly people who
had joined the guru's earlier cult, H.I.M. (can't remember what it stands
for) in the mid 70s. Many family members contacted said they hadn't heard
from their family member in 20+ years. Applewhite's sister hadn't seen nor
talked to her brother since 1977.

Somebody has the cult confused with a legitimate business, Steve Jackson
Games, which was raided in 1990 for producing the game GURPS Cyberpunk.
SJG is best known for its role playing game GURPS Alternate Earths, and is
still in business-it was never charged with a crime, although it's
property was never returned. The raid was part of the Operation Sundevil
sting against hackers in the early 90s. Bruce Sterling wrote an account of
the raid in the book _The Hacker Crackdown_. Heaven's Gate DID have a Web
page business called Higher Source, and did have about a dozen clients,
but they were a true cult, unlike Steve Jackson Games, which is a regular
business. Please do not confuse the two-they were 7 years and 500 miles
apart.

Er, is this for real or what?
The FBI - Game thing seems to refer to the Cyberpunk suppliment for
Steve Jackson's Gurps. If you really want the a copy of it they have it
in the comic shop in Preston for about fifteen quid.
Fact is that people prey upon the vulnerabilities of others and
manipulate them so that their own life hating ends can be fulfilled,
that's the standard religious gambit for you, be it in the shape of
gods, higher awareness, political extremism or spacemen.
The results are always the same, Control then Death... The Crusades,
the Inquisition, the Witch-Hunts, the rise of facism, the cold war,
Jonestown, Manson, Waco and now this. The government didn't commit
murder at Heaven's gate, it's just a sad demonstration of how
our inadequaces and our deep seated desire to belong can lead us
into the hands of monsters, or worse still turn us into monsters.
Saying that, if this some attempt at some creation of an ironic false
conspiracy then why not try and make it sound a little less like
the rest of the wailings and protestations that surface after
every one of these tragedies.

Further proof that life is a theatre of the absurd which we accept as
reality. The bottom line here, my friends is that we have a case of (Paul

What do you mean by "exactly?"
How do you know that? I would ask for information (if that is still possible)
regarding ALL the pages that might have been posted on their original site.
(my suspicion is they were censored). I think these people might have
uploaded very "sensitive" material on their site just before their departure,
and it was pulled. Those "mirror sites" got copies of their web site AFTER
their demise. I tried a mirror site yesterday and it was GONE. It's now
possible to access the original server address. Something is funny here. I
wonder if anyone on this list actually visited the Heaven's Gate site BEFORE
the news media broke the story. There's a strong possibility that what we
were fed by the media was a "cover" story. Remember Roswell?
-------------------------------------------------------------
A man who left the Heaven's Gate cult four weeks before 39 members killed
themselves said the group's leader feared the FBI was stalking them. Rio
DiAngelo, 43, provided the details of the cult's last weeks in an eight-hour
interview with Newsweek. He said the group's leader, Marshall Applewhite
became increasingly concerned after the government attack on the Branch
Davidian sect near Waco, Texas, in April 1994 and said a similar fate may
have been the way for the Heaven's Gate people to ``exit their vehicles.''
DiAngelo said this explained why guns had been found near the San Diego area
mansion where the mass suicide occurred. Fear of police also explains why
cult members died with $5 in their pockets -- so they wouldn't be bothered by
charges of vagrancy.

LEADS IGNORED IN HEAVEN'S
GATE CASE
More surprising revelations emerged this week in
the wake of the recent mass suicide of 39 members
of the Heaven's Gate group at Rancho Santa Fe in
California.
On Sunday, March 30, 1997, Yuba County deputies
checking out a trailer in a remote canyon near
Marysville, California (population 9,900) discovered the
remains of a man who gassed himself to death
"because he wanted to join the crew of 39 on the
Heaven's Gate spaceship trailing the Hale-Bopp comet."
(See the New York Post for April 2, 1997, page 12)
The victim was identified as Robert Leon Nichols,
58, a former roadie with the rock band Grateful Dead.
Nichols was last seen alive on Sunday, March 17.
"Nichols was lying on his back in bed with a clear
plastic bag over his head. The hose to a propane tank
was under the bag and a 3-by-3-foot (1 square meter)
mostly purple scarf covering his upper torso." (See
the Boston, Mass. Herald for April 2, 1997, page 25)
A suicide note found with the victim read, "I'm
going on the spaceship with Hale-Bopp to be with
those who have gone before me."
Interestingly, the Nichols note is dated 10 a.m.,
Thursday, March 28, 1997--"several hours before the
public was told how the cultists died and that their
bodies were covered with a purple shroud." (New York
Post, April 2, 1997, page 12)
On Tuesday, April 1, the North County Times of
San Diego reported that police had discovered a small
arsenal of rifles, shotguns and handguns in a pair of
storage sheds rented by the group.
"Lt. Jerry Lipscomb of the San Diego County
Sheriff's Department office said authorities found the
cache of weapons after the owner of the 10-feet by
10-feet sheds realized one of the dead cult members
was his customer." The storage sheds were located
in Escondido, California, 30 miles (48 kilometers) from
the group's rented mansion in Rancho Santa Fe.
Weapons included two semi-automatic rifles with
scopes, a bolt-action rifle, two semi-auto handguns
and two revolvers. Police also confiscated boxes
filled with books, videotapes and ammunition.
On his weekly radio show on WWCR in Nashville,
Tennessee, militia spokesman Mark Koernke said he
recognized the top videotape as one of his 1995
productions, "America In Peril 2."
"The final days of Heaven's Gate appear to have
been a combination of fun outings and mundane
chores...Four cultists went on a bus trip through
Santa Rosa, Sacramento and Gold Beach, Ore.
(Oregon) before returning through Santa Clarita."
(Providence R.I. Journal-Bulletin, April 4, 1997)
The four members of the "away team" also
visited Ashland and Medford, Oregon.
(Editor's Comment: The quartet travelled by bus
from Oregon to Sacramento on Interstate 5.
Nichols's home in Marysville is 40 miles north of
Sacramento. Nichols could have driven to Williams
(population 1,655) on Highway 20 and met the
quartet's bus when it came off the interstate.)
At least two Heaven's Gate members and Robert
Nichols were linked to past UFO flaps.
In July 1996, two college students reported seeing
a UFO along the Feather River south of Marysville,
home of Robert Nichols.
Lindley Ayerhart Pease, 41, who died at Rancho
Santa Fe, was born and brought up in Exeter, New
Hampshire. "Pease, 41, whose parents owned the
former Eastwind Hotel on Hampton Beach, along with
Applewhite and 37 other cult members died in a mass
suicide last week in San Diego." (See the Boston
Herald for April 2, 1997, page 20)
Hampton Beach along Route 88 had the highest
number of reported UFO sightings during the flap of
September-October 1965. Pease was a 9-year-old
boy at the time. (See INCIDENT AT EXETER by
John G. Fuller, Berkeley Books, New York, 1966,
pages 98-103)
Julie LaMontagne, 45, a former R.N. and second-
in-command to Marshall Herff Applewhite, "graduated
in 1974 from the University of Massachusetts (in)
Amherst nursing school. She was recruited in Amherst
in 1975, according to her foster mother Theresa Boucher,
and became personal nurse to Applewhite." (See the
Boston Globe for April 3, 1997)
In October 1973, there were numerous UFO
sightings in Belchertown, Amherst and North Amherst,
all near the UMass campus where LaMontagne was
a student.
An AP story identified LaMontagne as "one of the
last two members to die."
(Editor's Comment: According to medical examiner Dr.
Brian Blackbourne, the last two cult members took
Vicodin, a derivative of codeine. Why would ex-nurse
LaMontagne take codeine when all she had to do was
put on a white uniform and R.N. cap, walk into any
southern California hospital and help herself to more
potent pharmaceuticals?)
BOPP TILL YOU DROP: MORE
STRANGE LINKS EMERGE
On March 30, the New York Post reported that
the Heaven's Gate victims all had $5.75 on their
persons, likening this to Captain Stormfield, the
hero of a 1907 short story by Samuel Langhorne
Clemens, better known as Mark Twain.
UFO researcher Bufo Calvin has disproved that
claim and unearthed more evidence linking the
group's founder, Marshall Herff Applewhite, to the
Twain short story.
"Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to
Heaven" opens with the hero, a San Francisco
skipper "dead 30 years" flying through deep space.
He races a giant comet, which puts him off course.
As a result, he arrives at the wrong "gate" and
finds himself among throngs of aliens ("a sky-blue
man with seven heads and only one leg.")
Eventually he gets to the Earth section of Heaven
and spends the rest of the story trying to adjust.
Bufo Calvin uncovered this item in the story:
"And mind you, I'm not talking about only the
grandees from our world, but the princes and
patriarchs and so on from all the worlds that shine
in our sky, and from billions more that belong in
systems upon systems away outside of the one
our sun is in. There were some prophets and
patriarchs there that ours ain't a circumstance to,
for rank and illustriousness and all that. Some
were from Jupiter and other worlds in our own
system, but the most celebrated were the poets,
Saa, Bo and Soof, from great planets in three
different and very remote systems."
Applewhite first called himself "Bo," when he
founded the group in the early 1970s. Did he
borrow the name from the extraterrestial poet-
philosopher in Clemens's story?
In the story, Clemens also wrote, "Why, Peters,
we don't know anything about comets, down here.
If you want to see comets that are comets, you've
got to go outside of our solar system--there's there's
room for them, you understand."
Could Clemens have been referring to the Oort
Cloud? If so, then how could he have been aware
of it in 1907, eight decades before the launch of the
Hubble Space Telescope?
During the week, a ROUNDUP reader wrote in
and noted that the second half of the comet's name
Hale-Bopp can be reduced to BO and P**P, a
shorthand version of "Bo and Peep," the names
Applewhite and his now-dead consort Bonnie Lu
Trusdale Nettles called themselves in 1975.
Another reader pointed out that, in addition to
Helena Blavatsky, the comet's initials H.B. could
also refer to Hugh Auchincloss Brown, the catastrophe
theorist. In the 1960s, Brown warned that a buildup of
ice at the South Pole could result in the Earth's
surface slipping around over its molten core. Florida
could wind up where Alaska is now, with a frozen
climate. And vice versa.
Newsweek magazine reported, "And, finally, we're
told by one doomsayer on the Web to read the best-
selling LUCIFER'S HAMMER (1977) about a comet
that "causes major trouble for Earth"; it was discovered
by fictional astronomers Time Hammer and Gavin Brown,
and then named Hammer-Brown. These are the very
same initials as Hale-Bopp! The point? Our Web
friend doesn't say." (See Newsweek, April 7, 1997,
page 43)

Interesting info you dug up, Kent. I used to work for them when it was known simply as SAI
(Science Applications Inc.) - now known as Science Applications International Corp.
Worked for the Material Sciences Operation (later Division). I built their research
processing lab in Santa Ana - next to the holographic imaging lab, later dismantled &
rebuilt it in the newly designed facility in Irvine. VERY interesting company. Has many
DoD contracts, most of which were are at least secret classification (which is why I am
no longer with them. I not only "failed" to fill out their application for classified
access, but almost cost them a USAF/NASA contract when I was honest with an investigating
team and pointed out the use of the "fudge factor" in making up for "interim" (read:
lost by senior engineering staff) lab data.
In my time of service to them I found out a few very interesting things about the company.
a sample of interesting items:
#1. They had an office in the TRW building in El Segundo CA which did most of the
geopolitical scenario modeling for the CIA (which also had an office in the same building).
#2. They were Control Data's largest computing time customer (back then it was "time share").
That's why the SAI/MSD was co-located in the same building with Control Data in Irvine
(they leased a corner of the building from us). That's a pretty hefty computing load for
one of the (at the time) country's largest time share companies.
#3. Most of their senior admin./engineering staff came from upper levels of the
"military/industrial complex". Example: they basically pirated the admin. & engineering
personnel for the MSD from MacDonnell/Douglas' top advanced materials research crew.
Most of the San Diego folks come from a cozy cadre of DoD/UCSD buddies. Remember -
San Diego/La Jolla is the "other" Silicon Valley in Calif.
#4. I read in some industry profile a few months back that at one time they had the
highest percentage of PhD's in administration/management of any private/public company
in the country. Pretty topheavy in the brainiac dept.
#5. They have a division in NV which does most of the research in locating a site at
Yucca Mtn. for nuclear waste storage. This also happens to be conveniently located in
the "Test Site" out there. They also have heavy ties with LBL, LANL (Dulce base stuff),
Battelle and Brookhaven ("Phoenix Project" stuff).
#6.They also have a remote viewing division. Check out the following site
(make special note of the SAIC page and connected people):
Remote Viewing/Mind Control Web Index
#7. I was somehow not surprised when reading about # 4 above that they also had
responsibility for the administration of TCP/IP addressing assignments (where YOUR
computer is logically and physically located and how it's tied to the internet)
through InterNIC. This function which WAS handled by the DoD (since it was mostly
controlling the backbone, DARPA, through it's initial development) and later the NSF
-or was that the NSC? :)
Seems like a logical progression & transfer of power/control of the internet from
straight-out military circles to once-removed military circles (private corp. run
by retired military).
Now, consider this: Since the internet is possibly the only way to rapidly disseminate
information about a topic (possible extraterrestrial contact with the Earth human
community) the military (and probably the ET's) obviously want to control, doesn't
it seem logical that such control of information would only be possible through control
of the connections to the internet itself? It's sortof the same tactic W.R. Hearst used
to control news dissemination (at least in the West) - by controlling access to paper.
If any of us find ourselves unable to access AOL someday, at least you know who's
responsible . . . and possibly why.
Withheld
P.S. Personal prediction: The remote viewing/military app's of psychic abilities
will be the next wave in "technology" - like the internet is now. They're already
a decade ahead of the public awareness.

Kent,
Actually, InterNIC does control the DNS registry sites, and they do assign
virtual server addresses. I know because I just paid InterNIC $100 to
register my www site, www.anomalous-images.com for two years. If I did not
pay the bill by this month, they would have pulled the plug on my
registration, as stated on the bill.
It is probably true that InterNIC took this site offline and then of course
the FBI seized the files on the server.
And, BTW, S.A.I.C. does own InterNIC. And yes, ex-intel and military
officials make up it's board of directors, including Bobby Inman.
