SUBJECT: THE AQUARIUM CONSPIRACY FILE: UFO3080 ======================================================================== THE AQUARIUM CONSPIRACY by Dan Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley Directors, Center for North American Crop Circle Studies We stand accused, according to the various rumors that are circulating, of being key figures in one of the greatest conspiracies ever to hit the paranormal field. Well, golly... shucks, folks.... Actually, we wouldn't mind taking the credit, but out of a sense of sheer honesty and modesty we have to report that we are a bit short of realizing this conspiratorial goal. Nonetheless, if others want to continue this conspiracy, then we should not be too modest or too honest, but do what we can to keep those rumor mills grinding. First, though, a little background for those of you who are joining us late. Rumor has it that we are working for the CIA, and specifically the Aviary, to spread disinformation throughout the crop circle-ufology fields. Lately, we have been named as part of an alleged international disinformation conspiracy in "Schnabelgate," the Jim Schnabel-Robert Irving-George Wingfield- Henry Azadehdel tape circus that hit crop circles last fall. Wingfield, one of England's leading cereologists, suspected Irving and Schnabel of hoaxing circles in order to discredit the phenomenon and its researchers. He enlisted the help of Henry Azadehdel, a.k.a. Armen Victorian, a journalist who specializes in writing exposes in the UFO field. Posing as an African journalist, Azadehdel called first Irving and then Schnabel to ask questions about the "conspiracy." Irving and Schnabel say they knew what game was afoot, and put one over on Azadehdel by embroidering a tall story of a conspiracy involving intelligence agencies in the US, UK and Germany, and the Vatican as well. The conversations were taped, and Wingfield took them as gospel truth. The resulting controversy has damaged cereology and alienated researchers. Now Wingfield comes along to stir the pot even more, talking about a CIA lunch we three were at last year, showing in his lectures a slide of Rosemary seated next to a member of the Aviary. The implication is that this was the Big Approach to Compromise George. Sorry, George, it ain't so, and more about "The Lunch" in a moment. We've been publicly silent about all these allegations, because denial only fuels more intense belief on the part of the paranoid. Those who love rumors will continue to believe in them and spread them, regardless of what we say. We'd rather stay out of the rumor gutter and talk to people who are interested in the truth. We've been asked what we're really doing. Here's our answer. In the beginning there was eschatology--the branch of theology dealing with the end times. Dan, having spent many years first studying physics and then metaphysics, came to the conclusion that the scientists have been looking at the world upside down. Mind, not matter, is the foundation for all realities. Moreover, the materialist paradigm was in danger of imminent collapse, being subverted on the inside by its own contradictions, and on the outside by the growing body of evidence for the paranormal. Creating and maintaining a reality is no easy game. It requires a lot of magic, and a lot of conscious critters like ourselves who are pretty good at collective self-deception. Fortunately--or perhaps unfortunately--our particular reality game has about reached its natural conclusion, and we are waking up to the fact that mind and matter are not separate. We are undergoing an exciting but stressful revolution in our collective consciousness. This revolution, or global spiritual emergency, will bring upheavals and overloads in our global consciousness that will impact the material Earth for better or worse, and may quickly get out of control. We also will be opening up to other realities that will be impacting us as well. Our present very tidy sense of reality and its boundaries is due to become much more fluid and permeable. Every spiritual tradition takes very seriously its prophesies about the end of the world, but for the first time we are seeing these prophesies turning into believable predictions of earth and reality changes. That is how Dan fell from physics into eschatology. After experiencing numerous slammed doors among his former scientific colleagues, he decided that the most logical place to find fellow eschatologists would be in various intelligence agencies and among investigators of the paranormal. Dan next addressed how to communicate about the eschaton. Even a small hint that the government is worried about the end of the world might start a chain reaction of panic, which could possibly serve as a trigger for the eschaton. On the other hand, people inside the government might be wanting to set up a kind of civil defense network vis a vis the eschaton, and so they would be looking for people on the outside who could much more freely network among the general public. An important link in the communication chain is what has become known as the Aviary. This is the final link next to the public network, and so it must be heavily disguised by its own surrealistic smoke screen. The Aviary functions best by amplifying people's own misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by helping to overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that particular investigators get pushed further into their own blind alleys. People are encouraged to be so distracted by the trees that they fail to see the forest. This cacaphony by people looking for truth in all the strangest places provides an excellent cover for the deadly serious business of clearing the decks and battening down the hatches for the eschaton event. It is like a Manhattan Project going on behind the scenes of alien grays and praying mantises having sex with humans. However, this eschaton conspiracy is being orchestrated by higher powers, and we don't mean the Committee of 300. Very few of the people even near the center of the orchestration have a clear picture of what is coming down, but they do know that something is coming and that they will have front row seats. The Manhattan Project relative to the eschaton is a global civilian network of people who will serve as a lightning rod for the cosmic energies coming in during the consciousness revolution. They will be looking to channel these energies into expanded realities. Thus, they will provide a degree of protection for those people who can find their places alongside the network. Outside of the network there will be greater levels of trauma and confusion. The pieces of the network are already in place, the remaining task is to properly activate and link the pieces into a critical mass of awareness. This last step is now underway. This is how an Aviary helps to spawn an Aquarium, and how birds learn to swim. The Aquarium is our business, and we are working to reach people who are ready to be activated in the consciousness revolution. Now about the CIA lunch with George Wingfield. It was organized by Dan as a networking effort, and took place on April 15, 1992 in a restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. Besides ourselves and George, participants included George's wife, Gloria, three employees of the CIA and an outside colleague of theirs. None of us knew in advance what would be discussed. Conversation centered on eschatology, crop circles, and an explanation of the Aviary given to George by "The Pelican." There were no requests, no offers. Afterward, George wondered what it was all about. The answers are obvious, but they won't be found in rumors. If any of this interests you, contact us. Write to P.O.
