“When I speak of a control system for planet earth, I do not want my words to be misunderstood: I do not mean that some higher order of beings has locked us inside the constraints of a space-bound jail, closely monitored by psychic entities we might call angels or demons. I do not propose to redefine God.
What I do mean is that mythology rules at a level of our social reality over which normal political and intellectual action has no power...
“The phenomenon presented by UFOs is far larger than current speculation about “aliens from space.” It raises questions about consciousness, about the nature of reality and about human history on the Earth. I welcome every opportunity to meet specialists in these disciplines and learn from them.
...Now, if you go to the movies while the movie is playing, it’s suddenly different because now it is a sensory experience—you see it; you react! It speeds up your heart, and does all kinds of physiological things to you. But does it mean that Bambi exists?
Of course not. There is a basic flaw in that level of analysis, and I think that’s a pitfall in which the whole of UFOlogy, especially American UFOlogy, has fallen. There is only a first-level reading….
...Instead of looking at the screen, what I want to do is to turn around and look the other way. When we look the other way what we see is a little hole at the top of the wall with some light coming out. That’s where I want to go. I want to steal the key to the projectionist’s booth, and then, when everybody has gone home, I want to break in. And what you find there is a meta-system.
It’s a system of wheels that can generate anything you want—Bambi, Rambo, “Close Encounters"…
.Usually there is a consensus on the major aspects of the physical parameters of it [the abduction experience], but people can disagree on, for example, when there is interaction with entities. Different people may be perceiving different things.
There is a social, mythological aspect to it also, and that can be very tricky. I think it’s important to bring this out so that people can be alerted to it, especially since the publication of “Communion.”...
...Clark: What do you think of the abduction cases?
Vallee: Again, I’m interested mainly in their symbolic contents.
Let me explain what I mean. We live in a society that is oriented toward technology, so when we see something unusual in the sky we think of it in physical terms. How is it manufactured? What makes it tick? What is its propulsion system? We tend to assume that the physical phenomenon is its most important aspect and that everything else is just a side effect and much less important.
But perhaps we’re facing something which is basically a social technology. Perhaps the most important effects from the UFO technology are the social ones and not the physical ones. In other words the physical reality may serve only as a kind of triggering device to provide images for the witness to report. These perceptions are manipulated to create certain kinds of social effects.
If that’s true, then the abduction cases are quite revealing….Those questions may be totally irrelevant because maybe that person never actually went inside the object
...I came to that conclusion because abduction cases, in close encounter cases in general, what the witness is saying is absurd...
...I don’t mean simply to imply that the account is silly. I mean it has absurdity as a semantic construction. If you’re trying to express something which is beyond the comprehension of a subject, you have to do it through statements that appear contradictory or seem absurd.
For example, in Zen Buddhism the seeker must deal with such concepts as “the sound of one hand clapping” - an apparently preposterous notion which is designed to break down ordinary ways of thinking. The occurrences of similar “absurd” messages in UFO cases brought me to the idea that maybe we’re dealing with a sort of control system that is subtly manipulating human consciousness.

That is funny, because I noted that you were displaying a previously un-demonstarted I.Q. level. It was quite puzzling.
I wasn't the only one who noticed either. Gotta go.
"The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the government, established the following facts.
In 1985, Franklin Joseph Camper was the owner and operator of the "Mercenary Association," a mercenary training school located near Birmingham, Alabama.
William Dean Hedgcorth, James LaRosa Cuneo, and Paul Johnson were students and teaching assistants at the Mercenary Association.
Elizabeth Hamilton and Charlotte Wycoff owned and operated the California Learning Centers, a chain of private schools located in San Bernardino and Orange Counties in California.
In late July 1985, Hamilton and Wycoff contacted Camper in connection with a series of employment problems at the Learning Centers. Hamilton and Wycoff requested help in dealing with three teachers, two of whom had brought state unfair labor practice charges against the Learning Centers after they were fired.
Camper recruited Hedgcorth, Cuneo, Johnson, and his girlfriend, Lee Ann Faulk, to do some "unconventional security work." His plan was to locate the disgruntled teachers and "______ them up."
After a series of practice runs, the mercenaries went to work on the early morning of August 13, 1985. At approximately 3:00 a.m., the defendants drove to the home of one of the disgruntled teachers. The defendants placed two of the firebombs under the teacher's car, poked holes in the plastic container, and lit the napalm-like mixture with a rolled-up newspaper.
The defendants then fled. The firebombs produced the desired napalm effect and the car was nearly totally destroyed. The defendants followed the same essential procedure at the home of the second disgruntled teacher. Again, the teacher's car was almost totally destroyed. The heat from the firebombs was so intense that it melted the paint on the teacher's house.
The defendants abandoned plans to firebomb the house of the third disgruntled teacher when they noticed a police car nearby.
There were no witnesses to either firebombing. Cuneo and Johnson testified for the government as part of a plea agreement. They stated that Camper orchestrated the arson spree, and that Camper and Hedgcorth were both involved in setting off the firebombs. Camper and Hedgcorth denied any involvement in the preparation or use of the firebombs. They argued that they had carried out a legitimate investigation, and that the firebombings were a "frolic and detour" committed by Johnson and Cuneo alone."

When Camper was being served a warrant by the Dolomite, Alabama sheriff, Camper heard of the approaching lawman and fled into the woods. The sheriff organized a posse of locals and went after him. Frank Camper, who was supposedly a world-class expert in escape and evasion was easily captured - by a posse of civilian turkey hunters.
Whether Camper's legend is genuine or not is irrelevant. He has trained terrorists and the Merc School was a terrorist training locale. That should make everyone who took his training a terror suspect.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — Former Alabama mercenary school instructor Frank Camper was attacked in Leavenworth's federal prison and scalded with boiling water, forcing prison officials to isolate him, his sister said.
Camper, 41, is serving a 14-year sentence for playing a role in the August, 1985, firebombings of cars belonging to two disgruntled former teachers with a chain of prep schools in Orange and San Bernardino.
Two women who operated the schools were accused of hiring Camper to bomb the cars after the teachers complained to state agencies about their dismissals. The women pleaded guilty to related charges.
Frances Camper Freeman told the Birmingham (Ala.) News that her brother was attacked in early November by other inmates after he saw a note saying "merc" or "60 Minutes government rat" on his chair in the television room.
Based on letters and telephone calls, she says her brother was jumped by five other inmates when he left the room and one inmate poured boiling water on his back.
Camper was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident, but is kept isolated from other prisoners and given few privileges for his safety, Freeman said. Prison officials would only acknowledge that Camper is confined there and his projected release date is Oct. 13, 1995.
But his lawyers and relatives say the former Jefferson County (Ala.) mercenary training camp operator has a high profile.
Birmingham attorney Bill DelGrusso said Camper's run-in with the inmates was the result of a repeat presentation of a CBS "60 Minutes" news segment on Camper and his mercenary camp. DelGrusso said because the report characterized Camper as a snitch, he became a target in the prison.

Franklin J. Camper is, these days, a super troll. He's pretty much universally despised across the internet. He has a "history" as it were. He's also a "sock puppet" king. He's used at least one on this thread. But let's look at who Frankie really is.
He first came to my attention on ATS at the following link:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
A little digging showed him to be a rather odious dude in my opinion. He uses the word "operative" but his shady work with some shady faction of the FBI was in the capacity of "informant." Informant being another word for "snitch."
He presents himself as a "hero" but the following news report about his Merc School is probably closer to the truth. He hates these vids, btw, I wonder why.
www.mercenary-wars.net...
The first half is interesting and calls him on some lies, but Part II, was very revealing for me. They interview a couple of the youths who are to be pitied. They are not very bright, but Franklin J. Camper was more than happy to teach them to kill.
I use the term "teach" very loosely because Frankie don't seem to be all that talented in the Merc department. For someone who professes to be so skilled a snitch, er, I mean "operative," he seems to be pretty easy to catch doing stupid stuff.
