'GOD SQUAD' At Rachel's recent rock concert, the only people behaving badly were the police.
Once again, the sheriff's department has stepped over the line between enforcing Nevada law and dictating private morality -- as defined by Dahl and Gary. In their universe, "amoral" is any kind of music they don't approved of, or any new idea or business venture that might stumble mistakenly into our county. Anyone who doesn't agree with their preferences is branded a "communist" (a word that Gary Davis has also applied to our editor). |
We must examine our own motives and the motives of those who raised the protest, because the same act can be good or evil depending on why it is done. We try to figure out what is "right" in a given circumstance -- right being a conclusion that takes in all the conflicting issues, including the law and all the information available to us at the time. If the best balance of factors, after analysis, requires us to disobey the letter of the law, then the we will proceed to do so without regret. We will blatantly xerox, scan and re-type -- knowing the possible consequences and accepting full responsibility for our actions.

Bigelow's latest project is the National Institute for Discovery Sciences, based in Las Vegas. He has assembled a "blue ribbon" group of scientists and figureheads (his "aviary" so to speak), including physicist Hal Puthoff, Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, airplane designer Burt Rutan, conspiracy buff Gordon Novel and, of course, the semi-mysterious J.A. (Which ones are currently "in" and "out" is hard to determine, however, since the Bigelow aviary is always in flight.) There are supposedly other big-name academics involved. I once gave the project six months before Bigelow lost interest or soured the more reputable participants, but that was more than a six months ago, and the project still seems to exist. What they actually do at the National Institute for Discovery Science is another question. If you claim they are designing flying saucers for the New World Order, that's probably not far off off target.
Bigelow once funded Bob Lazar as the "Zeta Reticuli Corporation" shortly after Lazar came forward with his claims. Although the existence of this Nevada Corporation and Lazar's position in it are a matter of public record, stories differ as to what it was actually supposed to do. Corporation missions I've heard are: (a) Space weapons research, (b) finding a cure for AIDS, and (c) experiments on samples of Element 115, which Lazar once had in his possession but that somehow got "taken back." In any case, conspiracy buffs can rest assured that none of these projects was ever successfully completed, or even started for that matter, before the relationship between Lazar and Bigelow disintegrated. (Again, the accounts vary.)
Recently, several of Bigelow's latest flock of associates talked saucers with Jarod-2. It seems Burt Rutan and Gordon Novel are interested in building one, but J-2 thinks their anti-gravity capacitor system is ridiculous. J-2 invited me to attend a luncheon meeting with three other Bigelow aviary members, but Alexander reacted strongly when he heard this: Glenn Campbell was not to be involved because he would write about it in the Desert Rat. (Normally, Rat articles on non-public issues are cleared with the parties involved before publication, but when I've been "outed," I am now longer bound by this.) The meeting, sans Psychospy, was perfunctory, and both sides apparently came out of it unimpressed with the other. The only aviary member J-2 thought much of was Dean Radin, who asked the most intelligent questions.
Now Radin and his partner Jannine Rebman have quit their Bigelow funding relationship, leaving behind plenty of birds but dwindling talent.
Both Bigelow and Alexander certainly deserve more attention on this website, at least as local "characters." At the same time, they aren't nearly as mysterious, productive or "connected" as their reputations suggest. Alexander's lurking, evasive style has earned him a central position in many a conspiracy theory -- He is the "Penguin" in one ontology. -- but I doubt he hides any significant secrets. Bigelow, in turn, is simply a flighty New Age buff who happens to have a lot of money. There are a lot of things money can't buy, and credibility is one of them.
As the clouds and dust from the March 24 detonation headed north from Yucca Flat and toward Bald Mountain, near the mine, Bob Sheahan went down to one of the cabins to see if William Holy, the radiation monitor from the Public Health Service, wanted to have some breakfast. Holy wanted some, but he couldn't leave his radio and telephone equipment, which he had set up for the shot. There would be messages coming in from the other monitor posts to track the fallout from nearby Tempiute, Lincoln Mine, and Control Point.
Holy was occupied with a broken generator when the phone rang in the cabin. He asked Bob Sheahan to get the message. On the phone was Holy's counterpart out near the Lincoln Mine. The radiation reading there and for the valley where the Bullochs were was very hot....
Aesthetic appeal of the YPERWATCH® Gamma Control was of utmost importance for the design and appearance of the watch. The result is that the YPERWATCH® Gamma Control is a sophisticated piece of jewelry combining utility with the joy of wearing it.
Later that night, matters changed radically, when Richard Nixon showed up at Gleason's house around midnight. "He was all alone for a change. There were no secret service agents with him or anyone else. I said, 'Mr. President, what are you doing here?' and he said he wanted to take me someplace and show me something." Gleason got into the President's private car and they sped off into the darkness--their destination being Homestead Air Force Base. "I remember we got to the gate and this young MP came up to the car to look to see inside and his jaw seemed to drop a foot when he saw who was behind the wheel. He just sort of pointed and we headed off."
Warren says that later Gleason found out that the secret service was going absolutely crazy trying to find out where Nixon was. "We drove to the very far end of the base in a segregated area," Gleason went on, "finally stopping near a well guarded building. The security police saw us coming and just sort of moved back as we passed them and entered the structure. "There were a number of labs we passed through first before we entered a section where Nixon pointed out what he said was the wreckage from a flying saucer, enclosed in several large cases." Gleason noted his initial reaction was that this was all a joke brought on by their earlier conversation on the golf course. But it wasn't! as Gleason soon learned. "Next, we went into an inner chamber and there were six or eight of what looked like glass-topped Coke freezers. Inside them were the mangled remains of what I took to be children. Then - upon closer examination - I saw that some of the other figures looked quite old. Most of them were terribly mangled as if they had been in an accident."...
