Among the points of interest to the crowd - who seemed to break into two camps, Yuppie spiritualists or Star Trek convention types (I'm not sure which camp I fit into) - were Area 51, the U. S. government and UFOs, the field of "Non-Lethal Weapons", Zero Point Energy, Near Death Experiences, the commonality of NDE and UFO abductions, and Remote Viewing. As Alexander was hyped as the head of the real life X-Files, the crowd reflected the promotion. Alexander passed out some interesting nuggets of info, among them:
- The usage of Remote Viewing to explore the Soviet Biological Weapons Facilities as well as to aid in drug enforcement.
- Psychoaudiotronic technology tests are taking place in Capistrano.
- The rings around Jupiter had been viewed by para-superstar Ingo Swann before they were actually discovered and viewed by NASA telescopes.
- Swann would also regularly report sun spots on our sun eleven minutes before anyone could view them - the exact time it takes light from the sun to reach the earth. This would mean that psi-ability can transmit instantly, faster than the speed of light.
- The investigation of cattle mutilations in places such at Utah or New Mexico.
- Pictures of some of the more interesting examples of crop circles, which certainly don't appear to be caused by drunken hillbilly farmers.
- There were between 7 to 10 thousand civilian deaths in Somalia, and how the usage of "Non-Lethal Technologies" may reduce that number in the future.
One of the more interesting stories involved an experiment with cells from his mouth. After providing samples, Alexander gave a speech 300 feet away that was so important, it had his nerves all in knots. As he gave the speech, the sample from his mouth reacted violently, showing a definite link between humans and their tissues, even after they have seperated. This, of course, got my mind spinning over gross experiments involving bodily fluids and excretions, but I'll save the details for a scientific committee.
Of a more philosophical note, Alexander believes that psi-ability is natural in man, but has been bred out of us by society. He claims one of the biggest problems in Remote Viewing is what is termed "analytic overload", where the viewer begins taking the raw data impressions of the information he/she is receiving and tries to put it together in a way that makes sense to him or her - in other words, tries to "connect the dots." When this happens, the RVer is recommended to take an Analytic Overload Break.
This was certainly shown in my test run on Remote Viewing a picture. I first saw four circles, metal and some sort of mechanical motor. I saw some sort of liquid, water and/or oil of some sort. I saw something round and flashes of light, and sensed turmoil and violence involved. I began picturing an oil platform with a fire nearby, South East of the United States, a scene of a some sort of revolt.
What it actually turned out to be was a Swiss Army Knife and a bottle of Eau De Toilette, with the slogan "Be Prepared".
In retrospect, the four circles were there, made by the Swiss Cross appearing on the knife and bottle. The knife was made out of metal, and did have a bunch of mechanical uses. The Eau De Toilette, made of alcohol, was a liquid that was not water nor oil. And there was a flash of light in the picture, and the knife and slogan certainly cued my emotional response. All the pieces were there, but when I played a fun game of dot-connecting, it all came out wrong. Let this be a lesson to all you dot-connectors.
To peak his discussion, Alexander discussed the ultimate X-Files subject: UFOs. Alexander stated the government is telling the truth about UFOs, it really doesn't know what the hell is going on. Among the more noted cases touched on were the 11-17-96 JAL Alaska sighting, the Gulf Breeze in Florida, sitings in France, Brazil, and the USSR, and another November 1996 sighting in Belgium. Perhaps the most interesting encounter was the Cash-Landrum case, where one of the witnesses received 2nd degree burns as a side-affect, indicating it wasn't ball lightning. Of course, the witnesses also saw military helicopters around the UFO, indicating that the UFO had more to do with the military than lizard aliens. Alexander stated that both Project Blue Book and the Condon Report, two of the more famous government "investigations" in the phenomena, were basically accurate on the main conclusion, that the phenomena presented no threat to national security. In the end, Alexander stated, "Whether they (alien UFOs) exist or not - that doesn't matter. We dont know. That DOES matter."
During the break and afterwards, I spoke to the unmasked Blue, to whom I promised not to reveal his secrets in exchange for him sparing my life. I even learned the secret behind the phrase "Blue Resonant Human", though my lips are sealed on the truth.
Blue, it seemed, kept gushing about how Alexander, far from being the "Darth Vader of Black Ops", was actually a wonderful guy. As for myself, I am not so sure, and wonder if perhaps Blue may be suffering a bit from analytic overload. Certainly, Alexander didn't show any dark skeletons, and he didn't slip up and say, "Okay, I'm pure evil." But what was as important as what he said was what he DIDN'T say. For example, he discussed Soviet biological warfare capabilities (oh, those evil Russians!), but neglected to mention ours. There was a continual slant of statements this way, which basically turned the event into a fairly sly example of disinformation and propaganda.
Perhaps the most telling event was when Kathy, in perhaps an assaultive tone, asked Alexander on break if they were testing non-lethal technologies on humans. Of course not, he replied, that is illegal. So was the human radiation experiments, Kathy replied quickly. There was a look of confusion on Alexander's face as he said, "Radiation experiments? What radiation experiments?"
Maybe Alexander failed to read the 1994 Time cover story about the subject, or the many reports on this subjec
