The Gralien Report

According to an article published in the Huffington Post by Steven M. Gillon, a resident historian with the History Channel, new revelations about the alleged plot to kill former President John F. Kennedy do indeed point to a conspiracy.

“After being informed at Parkland Hospital that Kennedy was dead,” Gillon writes, “Johnson raced back to Air Force One, where he waited for Mrs. Kennedy and the body of the slain president, and made preparations to take the Oath of Office.” Meanwhile, the widowed first lady waited on board the plane, desperate to leave. Brigadier General Godfrey McHugh had been Kennedy’s military aide on the fateful Dallas trip, and interacted with Mrs. Kennedy on board the plane, and at her request, tried to find out why the plane couldn’t leave immediately. According to a newly declassified oral history McHugh has released, certain claims made about Lyndon Johnson’s behavior in the wake of the assassination are startling at best.

NASA scientists have announced that this morning’s operation to crash a rocket and a satellite into the moon’s surface in a $79 million mission was a success, and that “the spacecraft performed beautifully.”

The data gained from the satellite, which NASA plans to use to help determine if there is water on the moon, will not be immediately available for review by scientists. Nonetheless, Anthony Colaprete, principal investigator for the LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission, told news sources today that “We have the data we need to actually address the questions we set out to address.”

Elsewhere, stranger questions are erupting with regard to a video depicting a recent controversial Iranian missile launch. According to sources, the video seems to have captured other, more inexplicable items of controversy. Having initially aired on Fox News, the clip is now being touted by UK tabloid The Sun as evidence of UFO craft in the vicinity, as evidenced by the strange severing of a cloud bank adjacent to the missile’s flight path (see video below):

An excellent segment with the incomparable Jim Marrs, who discusses psychotropic drug administration to children and the dumbing-down of society through so-called “medications”:

September 11th 2009 has arrived. In addition to pensive reminders and tributes scattered among various media outlets, the date also seems to coincide with a healthy dose of the strange, for me at least.

For instance, today marks the day Dr. Stephen Greer will present a lecture to students and the general public at a University in Asheville, North Carolina, which is much anticipated here in my community. With all the whispers making the rounds about various political figures and their involvement with “911 Truth” websites, I find particular interest in the notion that Greer’s lecture happened to be scheduled for this weekend, and can’t help but wonder if he’ll have any insights regarding the most terrible American tragedy. According to some, UFO documents aren’t the only information being withheld by intelligence agencies, and regardless of one’s personal perspectives of the matter, the notion that some seek “disclosure” applies to a web of silence and misdirection that extends far beyond aliens and UFOs; if anything, they are only one piece of the puzzle.

Enough time seems to have passed by now… people have learned to breathe again. Nonetheless, a Post-911 America–as some call it–is certainly a different world from what it may have been had the terrorist attacks never occurred. This, we all wish, seems to be the general consensus: that it all could have been prevented. History, however, can’t be changed… it can only be re-written. In spite of the tragedy, are there still a few ways we are better for it? Does our heightened awareness of the dangers we face prevent us somewhat of becoming apathetic to legitimate concerns? It seems so; post 9-11 America has seen the publication of books like my pal Bill Forstchen’s One Second After, and although Bill’s book is fiction, it nonetheless serves as a grim reminder of what pure chaos might feel like.

For a few days back in 2001, I think most of us had a brief taste of it.

In a radical new report issued by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the system of currencies and capital that governs the world economy “is not working properly, and was largely responsible” for the financial and economic crises affecting the global market today. This is the first time a major multinational institution has posited such a suggestion.

China and Russia have both spoken out in the past regarding the removal of the US dollar from its place as the international standard monetary unit. However, the report suggests proposals that would encourage such surplus nations to stimulate their economies and cut their own imbalances; the present system has deficit nations such as the UK and US taking the main burden of readjustment.

Having recently featured the strange (and now infamous) “Gable Film” on his program, now it appears that Fox News commentator Sean Hannity has turned his focus to UFOs, in accordance with his recent “Conspiracy Month” theme:

A complete transcript can also be viewed here.

In this piece, Hannity asserts that little evidence exists as proof of UFOs, save people’s own beliefs, which he says “are pretty much all the proof that they have”, and that most UFOs can be explained easily or are simply “random, unrepeatable occurrences.” Hannity also points out that “the government has not officially examined UFO sightings since 1969,” when the famous Project Blue Book ended. Established in the wake of the 1947 crash near Roswell, New Mexico, Hannity states that “the government says (the Roswell UFO) was a weather balloon, but conspiracy theorists, well, they still claim it was an alien spacecraft.”

In stark contrast to our modern concern over global warming, the April 28 1975 edition of Newsweek featured an analysis regarding the threat of global cooling:

The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down. Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. If the climatic change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic. “A major climatic change would force economic and social adjustments on a worldwide scale,” warns a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, “because the global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.”

Evidence used to support this survey included research by Dr. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which indicated

• A drop of half a degree in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968
• Satellite photos indicating a sudden, large increase in Northern Hemisphere snow cover in the winter of 1971-72 (observed by George Kukla of Columbia University)
• And a study released in March of 1975 by NOAA scientists, which noted that “the amount of sunshine reaching the ground in the continental U.S. diminished by 1.3% between 1964 and 1972”

As ridiculous as many would assert claims of “global cooling” are in the world of today, there are nonetheless proponents of this, as well as those who think that factors outside of industrial emissions of CO2 gasses might be to blame for climate change on Earth; namely our sun.

On opening day of the new film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, my brother Caleb and I eagerly attended an early showing to see the film before the evening after-work-rush began. An entertaining flick by all means, it nonetheless seemed to lack a bit of the spark (or perhaps in this case, a bit of the all-spark) of its predecessor, though I was still glad to see it maintained a variety of anomalous references in the film. These included an apparent near-death-experience by Shia LeBeouf’s character Sam near the film’s climax; also, what may have been a reference to various locales where fossilized dinosaur footprints allegedly appear alongside early human tracks is shown during the film’s opening sequence, as explained by the arrival of “the Fallen” to prehistoric Earth eons ago.

Though these instances provided a bit of food for Fortean thought, they pale in comparison to the number of Ufological references made in the first film. For instance, the initial teaser trailer depicted the famous loss of the Beagle 2 probe, a British landing craft sent to Mars by the European Space Agency in 2003. In reality, whether the Beagle 2 ever made it to the red planet is uncertain, as it mysteriously lost contact with the European Mars Express, six days before its scheduled entry into Mars’ atmosphere. In Transformers the event was explained as being the result of an “exo-skeletal-type” robot (apparently the popular Autobot character Bumblebee) encountering it after it successfully landed. The trailer detailed classified footage which “…transmitted approximately 13 seconds”, before the rover is crushed by the robot, initiating a cover-up by the film’s “Sector 7” organization, which fabricated the story that the probe had crashed.

Earlier this month CNN.com reported about a collision between a Chinese submarine and an underwater sonar array being towed by the American destroyer USS John McCain. In the report, “ a U.S. military official calls it an ‘inadvertent encounter’… The array was damaged, but the sub and the ship did not collide… the (US) Navy does not believe this was a deliberate incident of Chinese harassment, as it would have been extremely dangerous had the array gotten caught in the submarine’s propellers.”

However, OpEd News writer Brock Novak argues that, based on analysis comparing the incident to an earlier capture of a US Navy P-3 anti-submarine warfare plane, this incident could be viewed as nothing but intentional:

The extraordinary real impact and jeopardization of national security of the P3 episode was masked by the media hoopla of simply getting the plane back, after the Chinese spent weeks “de-engineering” all its sensitive technology and secured the technical know-how they wanted. That is, the proverbial horse was already out of the barn when the plane parts were ultimately returned to the U.S.. The U.S. would get this towed array back too but only after it was thoroughly analyzed and de-engineered by Chinese defense and technology scientists. In relation to the P3 technology compromise incident, a huge parallel exists here with this new incident, disturbingly (and wrongly) being downplayed as a simple “inadvertent encounter”.

News is circulating in exopolitical circles about a strange top-secret document, initially leaked a decade ago, which is alleged to have been rescued from a fire that consumed a majority of files belonging to former CIA chief of counterintelligence James Angleton (pictured below) after his death in May of 1987. The Cold-War era memo, possibly dating back to the Kennedy administration, suggests the astounding possibility that Kennedy may indeed have been requesting information about UFOs prior to his assassination.

According to Michael Salla Ph.D., one of today’s leading exopolitical activists and a former faculty member at American University, a colleague of Angleton’s claiming to have been present at the burning sent it to Timothy Cooper, “a UFO researcher best known for his role in making public leaked MJ-12 documents” on June 23, 1999. Analysts are saying the burned document “is an original carbon with an Eagle watermark characteristic of government work, but so far forensic laboratories have been unable to trace it…. Although no (date) is given, its content directly suggests the month of September. The year is estimated to be in the early 1960s and is still under investigation.”

Salla writes that, “the burned document dates from the Kennedy era and has the characteristics of a government document. If its contents are accurate, it provides smoking gun evidence of a direct link between Kennedy’s efforts to gain access to UFO information and his assassination.” But what exactly was said in the document, and what does this suggest about Kennedy, UFOs, or secret organizations and committees like the infamous MJ-12?  Read the rest of this entry »
