"The Covert Use of Books and Publishing Houses
The Committee has found that the Central Intelligence Agency attaches a particular importance to book publishing activities as a form of covert propaganda. A former officer in the Clandestine Service stated that books are "the most important weapon of strategic (long-range) propaganda." Prior to 1967, the Central Intelligence Agency sponsored, subsidized, or produced over 1,000 books; approximately 25 percent of them in English. In 1967 alone, the CIA published or subsidized over 200 books, ranging from books on African safaris and wildlife to translations of Machiavelli's The Prince into Swahili and works of T. S. Eliot into Russian, to a competitor to Mao's little red book, which was entitled Quotations from Chairman Liu.
The Committee found that an important number of the books actually produced by the Central Intelligence Agency were reviewed and marketed in the United States:
* A book about a young student from a developing country who had studied in a communist country was described by the CIA as "developed by (two areas divisions) and, produced by the Domestic Operations Division... and has had a high impact in the United States as well as in the (foreign area) market." This book, which was produced by the European outlet of a United States publishing house was published in condensed form in two major U.S. magazines."

³Every line I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism," quotes George Orwell in the preface to the 1956 Signet Classic edition of Animal Farm. The edition, which sold several millions copies, however, omitted the rest of the sentence: "and for democratic Socialism, as I understand it.²

It is very important at this time to think critically and discern for oneself what the fruits of any tree really are in hard results.
"You flatter me, I'm only a Canadian. But I don't pay taxes." pg 58, "The Key".
The apology for secrecy doesn't cancel out the endorsement. Nothing wrong with fraternity and charitable work, but the implication is that the spiritual path is one of a competitive struggle for knowledge and power.
Whiltey asks, You are endorsing masonry? The master answers, "I am endorsing the craft in its most impeccable form. Where the craft is secret, there is danger of corruption. pg 34
"That sounds very idealistic." Whiltey. The master's response: "It isn't. The idealistic world is the one that judges and punishes. (Idealists are not the only people capable of judgement and capable of refraining from judgement) Only God can judge, because God knows the truth of the soul. The culture of blame sets itself up in place of God, and so is doomed to eventual destruction."pg 61, "The Key"
True to the double message, God has nothing to do with our saving ourselves, which in order to achieve that we must:
"Dead forever" pg 53.
"To save yourselves you must learn to build machines more intelligent than you are." pg 63.
It was God who intervened:
"The whole solar system bears scars from the battle, some of them terrible." pg 55
The master answers,
"Who intervenes?"
"God acts."pg 56
"You say we need machines more intelligent than we are, but also that they'll become conscious and then turn on us. Is there a way out of the dilemma?
The master answers: "There is more than one sort of intelligent machine. By duplicating the attachments between the elemental and energetic bodies that occur in nature in a purpose-designed machine, a controllable conscious machine can be devised. A living soul attached to a machine will be conscious, but only able to express itself into the physical or sense the physical according to the limitaitons of the machine's design. In this way, you gain the advantages that consciousness confers on a machine without the danger of its becoming excessively intelligent. A perfect slave can be created, a robot that carries out its programmed instructions with empathy, purpose and precision. And the soul can be kept in there indefinitely." pg 65
"Your world is a slave state. You are all slaves to the demons who run it, who keep you in ignorance." pg 47 The Key.
"Find the demon in your own heart, then I will betray the demon rulers of your world to you. Remember that the evil also serve me. Without evil, you could not taste of the good. Without them, you could not make the choice to follow me." pg 48 The Key

"Denial of the right to thrive." pg 74 The Key.
From "The Communion Letter"
Whitley Strieber's cover letter from the Spring Issue, 1991; Volume 3, No. 1.
Dear Reader:
"I would like to thank you for your patronage of the Communion Letter. Your subscription ends with this issue, and we are not taking new subscriptions or renewals. A list of available back issues is printed on the reverse of this letter for those who may be interested in collecting.
I had always intended to run the newsletter about two years, and that amount of time has now passed. During this period the Communion Letter has gained a large circulation and, I believe, published some remarkable articles.
But all good things must come to an end. I am not a UFO researcher and do not wish to endure the continued media attack that is associated with being involved in this field. In addition, the so-called "UFO-ologists" are probably the cruellest, nastiest and craziest people I have ever encountered. Their interpretation of the visitor experience is rubbish from beginning to end. The "abduction reports" that they generate are not real. They are artifacts of hypnosis and cultural conditioning.
What we are experiencing is a perceptual anomaly that is sufficiently ambiguous and intense that it demands explanation. It is something that human beings have been experiencing for a long time. It is the cause of religion, of mythology, of folklore. Presently it is the cause of the "alien abduction" belief.
What is *really* behind our experiences? We are. This is a human thing. However, I would also say that it indicates that we--and our world--are vastly different, and far more strange, than we have ever dreamed, or dared imagine.
With that I leave you."
"Was I in the company of demons or aliens on that night in 1985?"
"Remember that the air is never so sweet, nor thy wife so comely, not thy child so beautiful, as after the battle won. We depend upon our enemy for the sweetness in our lives. Love your enemy, for he is your best friend. Without the darkness, you would never know the glory of the firmament." pg 55 The Key.
"I recently wrote about how childhood sexual abuse seems to open a window into contact with the Visitors. I've also noticed that Visitor contact as an adult seems to be a kind of mirror that allows you to see yourself AS YOU REALLY ARE—if you can take it. Too many people can't stand what they see, and quickly look away. Because this image is so negative, they brand the Visitors as "evil," when what they are really reacting to is their own reflection."

"I found that blog interesting, too. It was brought to my attention by a journalist friend who I have known for years, and who was witness to a minor incident at my cabin.
Here is the letter I wrote to her after reading it:
I read his blog. It's very provocative. There MIGHT BE a lot of stuff from my childhood, but I am so uncertain about it. I do remember being taken to some horrendous classes at Randolph AFB. Pictures of Jolly West as a young man don't ring a bell with me, but I could certainly remember the face of at least one of the "teachers" at Randolph if I saw it. I have never thought that the name I have for this person, "Antonio Krause" was accurate. However, I do recall that he spoke in an unusual accent--a mix of German and Spanish. Also, we were taken to a school in Monterrey, Mexico, where unspeakable horrors were enacted.
Here is what I believe happened, in essence: During the war, my father was involved in a program to prevent US dollars going to Mexico from the Texas German community, where this money would be used to buy gold to send to Germany. Prior to the war, during the great German inflation, he had been participating in doing this himself, but certainly never for the Nazis.
After the war, he was approached and his patriotism was appealed to, I was enrolled in this program. He did not know what it involved, except that it was important cold war work. I think that he was the victim of Paperclip scientists, who singled us out because of his war work. He did not know that I was going to be harmed, but the stress was so great that my immune system shut down and I was treated in the autumn and winter of 1952 at Brooke General Hospital with gamma globulin injections. I was isolated from other children at that time. (I have my school report card from that year, showing that I was absent for the second half of the first semester.)
What happened was, essentially, a Bluebird-style effort to fracture me and the other kdis into multiple personalities. This "Krause," I believe, had done this for the Gestapo, in order to create children who could be made to be unwitting spies on their parents. The children were tormented in this way, then let go. They absorbed information that could later be 'downloaded' from the hidden personality, with the child's normal personality never knowing what had been done.
However, this fracturing also, in effect, cracked the cosmic egg, leading to contact between the children and other levels of reality. So this was also part of it.
I think that this blogger makes an error in trying to draw lines between mind-control, hoax and contact, because all three must be involved in one way or another. I have never lied or hoaxed anything, as you know, but I have had a lot of trouble both communicating what I remember, and remembering accurately, as you also know.
I think that, when children are subjected to this trauma, whether by some official source or simply by abusive parents, there is always the possibility that they will become accessible to the visitors. I have reason to believe this relating to my understanding of the way perception mediates reality, and how this can be modified, and what happens when that is done.
My impression of the visitors is that they have a very limited ability to contact us, and cannot interact with people who are well-founded in this reality. Shatter that foundation, though, and suddenly the individual is available to them.
I do not think that they are good or evil. I think that they are, if anything, more complex than we are.
It must not be forgotten that I was in quite a battle with the Reagan Administration just before I had my close encounter sequence between October and December of 1985. Specifically, I had published Warday, which had given the lie to the idea that Reagan was pushing that "limited nuclear war is both winnable and survivable." In fact, I had ruined that whole initiative. I was told at the time that Brent Scowcroft was furious about it.
Could it be that they found records of what had been done to me as a child, and decided to try to sideline me as a threat by, essentially, assaulting me in the night in an effort to drive me insane, which nearly happened?
I think that this is a real possibility. However, I also think that the same thing happened that used to happen when I was a child. I ended up in the hands of the visitors, and instead of being driven mad, received the extraordinary personal illumination that has come to define my life ever since.
But the dark side won, too, because my advocacy of my experiences has completed discredited me in intellectual and political circles. I have been effectively marginalized.
I still don't know who this blogger is or what he is doing, though. I am very wary, I have to tell you, because, while this appears to be a sincere effort he is making, one must ask, why has he gone down this particularly obscure rabbit hole? Is it out of personal curiosity, a desire to right a terrible wrong that the United States has done to thousands of helpless children, or does he have a hidden official agenda himself?"

"Can an intelligent machine become conscious?"pg 65
"When it does, it also becomes independent. A conscious machine will seek to be free, just as does any clever slave, with cunning and great intensity." pg 65
"Five years ago, three years before I almost died, I wrote a diary titled Is There Life After Death? That's a relevant question to ask at Easter, when Christians celebrate the resurrection of their shaman...."
"While I'm a big fan of Jesus, I think that resurrection is something that happens IN your life, when you manage to somehow scramble to a new spiritual plane. Putting it off until after death and laying all the responsibility for your own spiritual transformation on the shoulders of a dead man, in the form of "belief," is a rather strange tradition."
