This is a talk by Leslie Watkins, the author of the fiction book Alternative
3, given in Auckland, New Zealand approx May 1999.
He can be contacted where he now lives at PO Box 201, Orewa, Auckland, New
Zealand. Ph/fax (09) 426 8399
He is not on the net, but if you want to send a note to him you can email me
and I'll fax it to him. I'm also in Auckland..
Les is writing a followup book called Backlash to Alternative 3 as he would
like anyone to contact him if they can give him some of the missing TChest
of information he got stolen en route to Australia, back in the 70's. He
found out that he stumbled upon the truth accidently and received letters
from all around the world confirming this.

Information about the real Starfleet International, (obtained by fortunate
mysterious accident) from military sources can be found, with actual
documentation on the real military membership of the crew, and copied,  can
be found in the book Secrets of the Mojave by Branton. This is a 300 page
book written about the alien activities, underground bases, and treaties
with the govts and secret societies, abductions and mind control. The
sources are a group of govt insiders, including Commander X and it is based
on fact.It shows which ETs are here, where they are from, how long they have
had bases here and what they are doing with the hybrid program, Area 51
activities and subterranean societies at war..

SECRETS OF THE MOJAVE, By Branton ...(Compiled by "the Group" Edited by

Subject: Les talk


LET ME GET TWO THINGS STRAIGHT RIGHT AWAY

I AM NOT - AND NEVER HAVE BEEN - EMPLOYED BY THE CIA.

I WAS 15 WHEN ADOLF HITLER DIED IN 1945 AND I'VE NEVER WORKED

FOR HIM OR FOR MEMBERS OF HIS NAZI PARTY,

BOTH THOSE ACCUSATIONS ... CRAZY AS THEY MAY SOUND..  HAVE

BEEN THROWN AT ME BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO WRITE A NOVEL CALLED

ALTERNATIVE 3.

AS A RESULT OF THAT NOVEL .~. I'VE ALSO BEEN CALLED A CONMAN

AND A LIAR. I'VE SEEN ACCUSED OF TRYING TO STIR UP TERROR.

I'VE ALSO BEEN PRAISED AROUND THE WORLD - QUITE UNJUSTIFIABLY

- FOR MY COURAGE IN DARING TO TELL THE TRUTH.

ALL OF THIS BECAUSE OF A BOOK OF FICTION. I'LL COME TO THOSE

STRANGE REACTIONS LATER. BUT, FIRST, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME

INSIGHT INO THE BOOK WHICH HAS CAUSED SUCH WIDESPREAD

CONTROVERSY.

ALTERNATIVE 3 IS A NOVEL WHICH I INITIALLY REFUSED TO WRITE.

TO EXPLAIN WHY LET ME GIVE YOU A CAPSULED HISTORY OF

ALTERNATIVE 3.   IT BEGAN LIFE, AS MANY OF YOU WILL BE AWARE,

AS A JOKE, A HOAX DCOUMENTARY, ON BRITISH TV. I'D HEARD ABOUT

IT IN ADVANCE BUT I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO WATCH IT. I HAD NO

INTEREST IN SCIENCE FICTION, SCIENCE FACT OR UFOS IT

SIMPLY WASN'T MY SCENE AND, QUITE FRANKLY, IT SOUNDED CORNY

AND BORING. SO WHEN I WAS INVITED TO EXPAND IT IMMENSELY INTO

A FULL-LENGTH NOVEL, I REFUSED. PARTLY BECAUSE I WASN'T

INTERESTED AND PARTLY BCAUSE I WAS BUSY WRITING ANOTHER flOOK

AND WITH MY WORK AS A FLEET STREET JOURNALIST. MURRAY

POLLINGER, WHO WAS THEN MY AGENT IN LONDON, HAD TO WORK HARD

TO GET ME TO CHANGE MY MIND. AND I'M GLAD HE DID BECAUSE IT

HAS TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE PIECES OF WORK

I'VE DONE IN 50 YEARS AS A PROFESSIONAL WRITER.

IT  WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN BRITAIN IN 1978 AND

EVENTUALLY WENT INTO MORE THAN A DOZEN LANGUAGES - INCLUDING

JAPANESE AND GREEK.  BEFORE LONG, I WAS BEING INUNDATED BY

ANGRY PROTESTS.  VAST NUMBERS OF READERS STARTED DENOUNCING

ME FOR "IRRESPONSIBLE SCAREMONGERING".  I ALSO RECEIVED an

even greater number of messages praising me for exposing a

nightmare conspiracy Involving the governments of America, Russia and
Britain.
Both reactions astonished me. I'd written a work of fiction yet vast
numbers of readers were insistant it was fact. "Insistant is the right
word. THE BASIC PREMISE OF ALTERNATIVE 3 IS THAT OUR PLANET IS DOOMED -
BECAUSE OF THE GREENHOUSE WARMING - AND THAT AMERICA AND RUSSIA, HAVING
SECRETLY CO-OPERATED IN SPACE RESEARCH FOR DECADES, HAD SECRETLY COLONISED
MARS FOR SUPERIOR HUMANS - TO ENSURE THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE. TO
SERVICE THE NEEDS OF THESE PEOPLE, DESIGNATED MOVERS AS I CALLED THEM,
BATCHES OF UNIMPORTANT, ORDINARY, PEOPLE WERE SNATCHED,


BECOMING ZOMBIE SLAVES.  THEN THEY WERE TAKEN TO MARS - IN

WHAT I CALLED BATCH CONSIGNMENTS - WHERE THEY WERE ALLOWED TO

LIVE UNTIL THEY WERE TOO OLD TO BE USEFUL. AND THEN THEY

WERE, AS I PUT IT, DISPOSED OF. THEY WERE, TO PUT IT BLUNTLY,

KILLED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT NECESSARY AND WERE MERELY USING

FOOD AND OTHE PRECIOUS SUPPLIES ON MARS. THE MOON WAS BEING

USED AS A TRANSIT CAMP FOR THE SUPERIOR SELECTED PEOPE, THE

SO-CALLED

DESIGNATED MOVERS, AND THE THOUSANDS OF BRAIN-WASHED SLAVES.

THE WHOLE CONCEPT, I THOUGHT, WAS TOO WAY-OUT, TOO

RIDICULOUS, FOR ANYONE TO BELIEVE  I WAS TOTALLY WRONG.

THE PUBLICATION OF ALTERNATIVE 3 AND HOW, IN ORDER TO HAVE IT

PUBLISHED, I'D HAD TO MAKE A CERTAIN CONCESSION - IN FACT, I

SAID I'D BEEN FORCED INTO A "RELUCTANT COMPROMISE." WHICH

MEANS THAT ON THE BACK COVER - UNDER THE BLURB - WE HAD THE

WORD DESCRIBING THE BOOK ... "FICTION." OKAY, SO IT WAS A

DOUBLE CON WHICH I'D PUT INTO THE MANUSCRIPT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHERS, SPHERE BOOKS,

EMBELLISHED THAT DOUBLE CON, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, IN A WAY

I FELT WAS IRRESPONSIBLE - AND WHICH DID CAUSE A GREAT DEAL

OF ANXIETY ACROSS THE WORLD.  THE COMPANY'S EDITORIAL

DIRECTOR, NICK AUSTIN, HAD CHANGED THE WORD "FICTION" TO

"SPECULATION." HE FELT THIS WAS NO MORE THAN A SLICE OF

HARMLESS FUN BECAUSE, LIKE ME, HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD

NOT REALISE THIS WAS A WORK OF FICTION.  UNFORTUNATELY ... A

DEVIL OF A LOT OF PEOPLE DID NOT REALISE THAT  AND THEY

SAW THE WORD "SPECULATION"  COUPLED WITH MY REFERENCE TO

A "RELUCTANT COMPROMISE" AS PROOF THAT THIS WAS FACT.

SUDDENLY SPHERE WAS GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM POLITICIANS - AND

NOT ONLY THOSE IN LONDON - AND FROM TRADING STANDARDS

OFFICERS WHO ACTUALLY THREATENED LEGAL ACTION.

FOR SUBSEQUENT EDITIONS THE WORD "SPECULATION" WAS REPLACED

BY THE WORD "FICTION'

NICK AUSTIN CONFIRMED ALL THIS IN AN ARTICLE HE WROTE FOR THE

APRIL ISSUE OF FORTEAN TIMES WHEN HE WROTE:

A FIRST INDICATION OF THIS CAME WHEN I HAD A PHONE CALL FROM A

MAN WHO INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS "CLANCARTY".  HE WAS ACTUALLY

THE EARL OF CLANCARTY WHO, UNDER THE NAME BRINSLEY DE LA POER

TRENCH HAD WRITTEN EXTENSIVELY ABOUT UFOS.

HE CONGRATULATED ME ON MY "FEARLESS EXPOSE" OF THE

"DISGRACEFUL TRUTH" AND SAID: "WE'VE KNOWN A LITTLE ABOUT

THIS FOR SOME TIME, OF COURSE, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL I READ

YOUR BOOK THAT I REALISED HOW DEEPLY INVOLVED HER MAJESTY'S

GOVERNMENT IS IN THIS DISGRACEFUL CONSPIRACY. I INTEND TO

RAISE THIS SHAMEFUL MATTER IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS."

NOW MY IMMEDIATE FEELING WAS THAT THIS WAS MARVELLOUS I WHAT

FANTASTIC PUBLICITY FOR MY BOOK! BUT THEN I HAD SECOND

THOUGHTS. THE EARL OF CLANCARTY SOUNDED A DECENT SORT OF

FELLOW AND HE'D LOOK AT ABSOLUTE IDIOT IF HE RAISED THIS IN

THE HOUSE OF LORDS. SO I TRIED TO ASSURE HIM IT WAS MERELY A

WORK OF FICTION AND I BEGGED HIM NOT TO BRING IT UP PUBLICLY

IN ANY ATTACK ON THE BRITISH AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS.

HE REFUSED TO BELIEVE ME BUT DID PROMISE, AT MY INSISTANCE,

NOT TO RAISE THIS "CONSPIRACY" IN THE LORDS. FOR YEARS

AFTERWARDS, HOWEVER, HE KEPT PESTERING ME TO TELL HIM HOW I'D

DISCOVERED MY FACTS.

"MY DEAR FELLOW ... WE KNOW EACH OTHER WELL ENOUGH NOW, SURELY, SO YOU CAN
TELL ME ..." OTHER READERS, HUNDREDS OF THEM FROM AROUND THE WORLD, TOOK

SIMILAR LINE. I was denounced as a coward and a liar when I explained that
I'd dreamed up the controversial scenario.

ONE OF AMERICA'S MORE RESPECTED RESEARCHERS, MAE BRUSSELL, told her weekly
radio audience she'd "had the shakes for' about a week" after reading A3
which she described as "the
most important book I've read in many, many years."

AND I WAS DISMAYED TO REALISED THAT I HAD, INADVERTENTLY,

PUT FEAR - TERROR IN FACT - INTO VAST NUMBERS OF ORDINARY

READERS. THAT BECAME OBVIOUS ONE NIGHT WHEN I HAD A PHONE

CALL AT MY HOME IN DEVON FROM A MAN IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.

HE STARTED OFF ON THE SAME TACK AS THE EARL OF CLANCARTY ...

ABOUT HOW IMPRESSED HE WAS WITH MY AMAZING INVESTIGATION.

I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS FICTION BUT HE REFUSED TO

BELIEVE ME.

DID HE HAVE THE BOOK THERE ? YES ! LOOK AT THE BACK COVER ...

DOES IT SAY "FICTION" ?

"YES, BUT YOU HAD TO PUT THAT THERE BECAUSE, OTHERWISE YOU

COULDN'T GET THE BOOK PUBLISHED."

THAT WAS PARTLY BECAUSE OF A DOUBLE CON WHICH I'D BUILT INTO

THIS WORK OF FICTION. I'D DESCRIBED HOW CERTAIN POLITICIANS -

WHO, IN FACT, DID NOT EXIST - HAD SOUGHT AN INJUNCTION TO BAN IT.


"MY MAIN ATTEMPT TO ENTER, PERSONALLY, INTO THE SPIRIT OF

THINGS BACKFIRED BADLY AND REFLECTS ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT ON

ME."

I MUST STRESS HERE THAT NICK IS A VERY TALENTED EDITOR AND A

THOROUGHLY DECENT MAN. IT WAS JUST THAT, ON THIS OCCASION, HE

DID GET CARRIED AWAY.  SO, WHEN I ASKED THIS CALLER FROM THE

NORTH OF ENGLAND IF HIS COPY OF THE BOOK HAD THE WORD

"FICTION" ON THE BACK COVER, I WAS HOPING HE DID NOT HAVE THE

FIRST EDITION. FORTUNATELY, HE DIDN'T. HIS COPY HAD THE WORD

"FICTION." BUT THAT DIDN'T SATISFY HIM.  HE STILL PREFERRED

TO BELIEVE MY DOUBLE-CON AND HE WENT ON: "WHEN YOU WROTE THIS

BOOK," HE SAID, "YOU HAD THE COURAGE TO TELL THE TRUTH.  BUT

NOW YOU'RE FRIGHTENED TO ADMIT IT'S THE TRUTH.  YOU'RE

FRIGHTENED BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN GOT AT BY THE CIA AND BRITISH

INTELLIGENCE."

THE WAS QUITE STRANGE REALLY BECAUSE BECAUSE IT HAS SINCE

BEEN SUGGESTED BY AT LEAST ONE WELL-KNOWN AMERICAN, THAT I

MAY HAVE BEEN PAID BY THE CIA TO WRITE THIS BOOK.  I'LL COME

BACK TO HIM SHORTLY.

I THEN DISCOVERED MY CALLER HAD A PARTICULAR REASON FOR BEING

SO TAKEN WITH MY BOOK. A COUSIN OF HIS HAD DISAPPEARED

WITHOUT TRACE AND NOW, HAVING READ ALTERNATIVE 3, HE WAS

CONVINCED THAT HIS COUSIN HAD BEEN SNATCHED AND WAS NOW

CONDEMNED TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE AS A SLAVE ON MARS. AS I SAY, I DID
MY BEST TO REASSURE HIM. IT WAS FICTION, FICTION, FICTION.

THEN HE SAID: "WHAT ABOUT BRIAN PENDLEBURY ?"

HE THREW ME FOR A MOMENT. "PENDLEBURY ? OH ... YOU MEAN THE ELECTRONICS
EXPERT FROM MANCHESTER WHO NOW LIVES ON MARS." "YES -ABOUT HIM "

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM  HE DOESN'T EXIST. HE NEVER HAS


EXISTED. HE'S JUST A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION."

"RIGHT ... NOW I KNOW YOU'RE LYING. I'VE SPOKEN TO HIS FATHER I'VE SPOKEN TO
BRIAN PENDLEBURY'S FATHER."

"WHAT I HOW DID YOU FIND HIS FATHER ?"

"YOU SAY IN THE BOOK THAT HIS FATHER IS A RETIRED MILKMAN CALLED DENNIS
PENDLEBURY AND THAT HE LIVES IN ONE OF THE SHABBIER SUBURBS OF MANCHESTER
..."

"WELL ..  YES."

"THERE'S ONLY ONE DENNIS PENDLEBURY IN THE MANCHESTER TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
SO I RANG HIM UP. I SPOKE TO BRIAN PENDLEBURY' S FATHER."

NOW I WAS TOTALLY INTRIGUED. "AND WHAT DID HE SAY." "IT WERE DISGUSTING ...
YOU'RE FRIGHTENED ... I CAN TELL THAT BY YOUR VOICE. BUT THAT MAN ... THAT
MAN IS SO FRIGHTENED HE WON'T EVEN ADMIT HE'S GONE A SON CALLED BRIAN." I
LEARNED LATER THAT FOR MONTHS POOR MR PENDLEBURY WAS THEN PLAGUED BY THIS
IDIOT - DETERMINED TO WEAR HIM DOWN UNTIL HE TOLD THE TRUTH. "YOU'VE GOT TO
TELL WHAT ABOUT YOUR SON BRIAN WHO LIVES ON MARS."    THIS CALLER WAS
TYPICAL, AS I SAY, OF AN AMAZING NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WROTE OR TELEPHONED
FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.  I HAD NEVER INTENDED ANYONE TO THINK OF THIS
BOOK AS BEING ANYTHING BUT A WORK OF FICTION BUT THERE WERE A NUMBER OP
REASONS WHY SO MANY READERS DID CONSIDER IT TO BE THE NIGHTMARE TRUTH
THEN I BEGAN TO REALISE, TO MY ASTONISHMENT, THAT THERE WERE

DISTURBING ELEMENTS OF TRUTH IN WHAT I HAD WRITTEN. CERTAIN

EVENTS WHICH I HAD IMAGINED HAD, IN FACT, REALLY HAPPENED.

THAT SEEMED OBVIOUS FROM EVIDENCE SUPPLIED TO ME BY A VAST

NUMBER OF HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. THEY INCLUDED

SCIENTISTS, AIRLINE PILOTS, UFO RESEARCHERS OF REPUTE. AND,

HAVING READ THEIR ACCOUNTS - PARTICULARLY ABOUT FLYING SAUCER

COVER-UPS - AND INTERVIEWED MANY AT LENGTH, I BECAME

CONVINCED  AND I STILL AM TOTALLY CONVINCED THAT, WITHOUT

REALISING IT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TRESPASSED INTO A RANGE OF

TOP-LEVEL TRUTHS. FACTS WERE - AND ARE - BEING SUPPRESSED BY

GOVERNMENTS. I'LL BE ELABORATING ON THAT THOUGHT LATER.

ANOTHER REASON SO MANY READERS BELIEVE MY BOOK WAS FACT WAS

THE STYLE IN WHICH IT IS WRITTEN - AS A SERIOUS JOURNALISTIC

INVESTIGATION.

IT OPENS WITH THESE WORDS: "NO NEWSPAPER HAS YET SECURED THE

TRUTH BEHIND THE OPERATION KNOWN AS ALTERNATIVE 3.

INVESTIGATIONS BY JOURNALISTS HAVE BEEN BLOCKED - BY

GOVERNMENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE IRON CURTAIN. AMERICA AND
RUSSIA ARE RUTHLESSLY OBSESSED WITH GUARDING THEIR SHARED
SECRET AND THIS OBSESSION, AS WE CAN NOW PROVE, HAS MADE THEM


PARTNERS IN MURDER.


"HOWEVER, DESPITE THIS INTENSIVE SECURITY, FRAGMENTS OF


INFORMATION HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC. OFTEN THEY ARE RELEASED


INADVERTENTLY - BY EXPERTS WHO DO NOT APPRECIATE THEIR


SINISTER SIGNIFICANCE - AND THESE FRAGMENTS, IN ISOLATION,


MEAN LITTLE. BUT WHEN JIGSAWED TOGETHER THEY FORM A DEFINITE


PATTERN   A PATTERN WHICH APPEARS TO EMPHASISE THE ENORMITY OF


THIS CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE. ANOTHER

REASON WAS THAT I USED A TECHNIQUE WHICH IS QUITE

COMMON IN FICTION - MIXING INTERNATIONALLY-KNOWN FACTS WITH


IMAGINARY MATERIAL. I USED IMAGINARY QUOTES FROM IMAGINARY


POLITICIANS, SCIENTISTS AND ASTRONAUTS AND MIXED IN THEM WITH


GENUINE QUOTES FROM GENUINE POLITICIANS, SCIENTISTS AND


ASTRONAUTS. FOR INSTANCE, MANY OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT JIMMY


CARTER, IN 1973 WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA, FILED TWO


REPORTS ON HIS UFO SIGHTINGS - ONE TO THE INTERNATIONAL UFO


BUREAU AND THE OTHER TO THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS COMMITTEE


ON AERIAL PHENOMENA. HE   "I DON'T LAUGH AT PEOPLE ANY MORE "

WHEN THEY SAY THEY'VE SEEN UFOS BECAUSE I'VE SEEN ONE


MYSELF." BUT BY THE TIME HE WAS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED


STATES, HE REFUSED TO ADMIT HE'D SEEN A UFO AND SAID: "I


THINK IT WAS A LIGHT BECKONING ME TO RUN IN THE CALIFORNIA


PRIMARY ELECTION." WHY, I ASKED, THIS CHANGE OF ATTITUDE ?

BECAUSE BY THEN HE HAD BEEN BRIEFED ON ALTERNATIVE 3 ?

SOME OF YOU, SIMILARLY, MAY RECALL BUZZ ALDRIN, AFTER HIS

MOON WALK, COMPLAINING BITTERLY THAT HE'D BEEN USED AS A

TRAVELLING SALESMAN. I USED THAT COMMENT AND THE FACT THAT

THAT HE WAS LATER ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL WITH "EMOTIONAL

DEPRESSION".

"TRAVELLING SALESMAN" ? THAT'S AN ODD CHOICE OF WORDS

IT ? WHAT, IN ALDRIN'S VIEW WERE THE NASA AUTHORITIES

TO SELL 7 WERE THEY USING HIM - AND OTHERS LIKE HIM -

THE "OFFICIAL" VERSION OF THE TRUTH TO ORDINARY PEOPLE

AS US ?  WERE THEY DOING SO IN ORDER TO HIDE THE REAL

AT THE TIME I WROTE THIS BOOK I'D HAVE SAID NO. NOW I AM NOT

SO SURE. A DEVIL OF A LOT HAS BEEN KEPT HIDDEN FROM US.

JIM KEITH SAID  "FOR THE DEBUNKER,

ALTERNATIVE 3 IS A SITTING DUCK." VERY SOON, AFTER QUOTING

FROM EARLY PARTS OF MY NOVEL - AND I STRESS THE WORD "NOVEL -

- KEITH SAYS : 'WHILE WATKINS IS UNABLE TO SUBSTANTIATE THESE

SUSPICIONS, HE IS ABLE TO INSIST THAT THEY ARE TRUE."

A FEW PAGES FURTHER ON HE CONFUSES ME - THE SOLE AUTHOR OF

THIS BOOK - WITH THE WRITERS OF THE ORIGINAL TV HOAX

DOCUMENTARY. HE DID SO BECAUSE HE DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHECK - OR

EVEN TO REMEMBER A PRIVATE LETTER OF MINE WHICH HE PRESENTS

ELSEWHERE IN HIS BOOKS. THAT LETTER, WHICH I WROTE TO AN

INDIVIDUAL ENQUIRER IN AMERICA AND WHICH KEITH DIDN'T BOTHER

TO FOLLOW UP ON, STRESSES THAT I WROTE THE BOOK AND THE NAMES

OF THE ORIGINAL TV PEOPLE - DAVID AMBROSE AND CHRISTOPHER

MILES - APPEARED ON THE BOOK FOR CONTRACTUAL REASONS. BUT

WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DEBUNKING BUSINESS, APPARENTLY, WHO CARES

ABOUT ACCURACY.  KEITH GOES ON TO MAKE THIS ASTONISHING

STATEMENT ABOUT THE "AUTHORS" - NOT THE PLURAL THERE - THE

AUTHORS OF ALTERNATIVE 3:

"APPARENTLY THEY THOUGHT THAT IF THEY REPEATEDLY INSISTED

THAT THEIR STATEMENTS WERE NOT FICTIONAL, IF PHONY TRANSCRIPTS

WERE PROVED WITH OTHER PHONY TRANSCRIPTS, THAT THE PUBLIC,

THAT BEFUDDLED SLIGHT-ATTENTIONED CREATURE, WOULD BUY THEIR

STORY, LOCK, STOCK AND BATCH CONSIGNMENT."  HE ALSO STATES:

"WHAT ALTERNATIVE 3 ENTIRELY LACKS IS A SINGLE PIECE OF

EVIDENCE PROVING THE CONSPIRACY." THEN

CONSIDER THIS SLICE OF NONSENSE FROM PAGE 16 OF HIS UPDATED

BOOK: "UNBELIEVABLE 'SECRET DOCUMENTS' ARE QUOTED AT LENGTH

IN THE BOOK, WITHOUT COPIES BEING REPRODUCED..."

WHY ON EARTH SHOULD COPIES BE REPRODUCED ? I'VE MADE IT CLEAR

REPEATEDLY, AS JIM KEITH SHOULD KNOW, THAT THIS WAS A WORK OF

FICTION.

HE EVEN ACCUSES ME OF MAKING UP THE NAMES OF SCIENTISTS. FROM

MY BOOK HE LIFTS A LIST OF THEM AND SAYS: "SO FAR AS I CAN

DETERMINE, THESE INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR DISAPPEARANCES WERE

ALL INVENTED FOR ALTERNATIVE 3."

WELL DONE MR KEITH !  YOU ARE ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO

RECOGNISE THAT CHARACTERS IN A WORK OF FICTION MAY REALLY BE

FICTIONAL.

TO MAKE HIS FINDINGS EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS, A FEW PAGES

EARLIER KEITH QUOTES IN FULL A PRIVATE LETTER I WROTE TO AN

ENQUIRER IN AMERICA IN WHICH I SAY IN WHICH I DESCRIBE

ALTERNATIVE 3 AS A "HIGH DIVE INTO FICTlON."

IN ANSWER TO SPECIFIC QUERIES, I GAVE THESE ANSWERS WHICH

KEITH QUOTES IN BOTH HIS BOOKS.

1) I SAID: THERE IS NO ASTRONAUT NAMED GRODIN.   (THIS IS

INTERESTING BECAUSE KEITH, WITH ASTONISHING PERCEPTION,

DESCRIBES AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN THE FICTIONAL GRODIN AND HIS

FICTIONAL GIRLFRIEND AS "OBVIOUSLY A SET-UP INTENDED TO

DEPICT GRODIN'S DETERIORATING CONDITION. AMAZING, EH ?)

2) I SAID: THERE IS NO SCEPTRE TELEVISION AND THE REPORTER

BENSON IS ALSO FICTIONAL. (THIS IS ALSO INTERESTING

BECAUSE KEITH, DESPITE HAVING USED MY LETTER IN HIS BOOKS,

SEEMS TO BELIEVE THERE IS A TELEVISION STATION OF THAT

NAME. HE WRITES: "ACTUALLY, THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE FACTUAL

PORTIONS OF THE BOOK ... CONSIDERING THE NATURE OF THE

SHOW, I CAN UNDERSTAND STATION EXECS  NOT WANTING TO HAVE

ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH IT. THE AUTHOR ... (BY THIS

TIME, YOU'LL NOTE, I'M A SINGULAR AUTHOR AGAIN)...  THE

AUTHOR PRESENTS EXAMPLES OF OFFICE WRANGLING AS PROOF OF A

COVER-UP BUT MY GUESS IS THAT IF STUDIO OR STATION

EXECUTIVES DID OBJECT TO THE PROGRAM IT WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE

THEY THOUGHT IT HARE-BRAINED AND A DANGEROUS PRANK."



BUT IT'S RATHER LIKE SAYING CHARLES DICKENS WAS A LIAR WHEN

HE REPORTED THAT OLIVER TWIST ASKED FOR MORE.  IN FACT,

DICKENS WAS A DOUBLE LIAR BECAUSE OLIVER TWIST DID NOT EVEN

EXIST

WHEN JULIUS CAESAR WAS BEING STABBED TO DEATH IN THE YEAR 44

BC DID HE REALLY SAY "ET TU BRUTUS" ? HAD CAESAR REALLY HAD A

FEVER WHEN HE WAS IN SPAIN WHICH, IN THE WORDS OF CASSIUS,

MAKE HIM CRY OUT LIKE A SICK GIRL ?

WERE THESE DETAILS TRUE ? OR DID SHAKESPEARE ... NAUGHTY MAN

· .. TAKE THE LIBERTY OF MAKING THEM UP ? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

EASY, WOULDN'T IT, FOR HIS WRITINGS TO BE DEBUNKED BY SOMEONE SUCH AS JIM
KEITH.  EXCEPT THAT EVEN KEITH, I'M SURE,

WOULD RECOGNISE THAT DICKENS AND SHAKESPEARE HAD WRITTEN

FICTION.

SO WHAT THE DEVIL IS HE ON ABOUT HERE ?  HE SUGGESTS THAT MY

BOOK MAY HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AS "GREY" DISINFORMATION -

PRESUMABLY BECAUSE I WAS PAID BY THE CIA - WHICH, IN HIS

WORDS, WAS "CALCULATED TO CONFUSE AND DEFUSE THE ISSUES OF

ELITIST CONTROL, GENOCIDE, AND SECRET SPACE PROGRAMMES, BY

REVEALING YET SECRETLY CONCEALING THESE TRUTHS." DID YOU EVER

HEAR SUCH RUBBISH ?

HE GOES ON: "IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE

GOVERNMENT (IN EITHER ITS OVERT OR COVERT MANIFESTATIONS)

USING DISINFORMATION VECTORS TO CONFUSE, PACIFY OR STAMPEDE

THE POPULACE IN DIRECTIONS OF ITS CHOOSING.~

'DISINFORMATION VECTORS." SOUNDS IMPRESSSIVE, DOESN'T IT. BUT

HOW MANY PEOPLE REALLY KNOW WHAT A VECTOR IS ? I DO ·.. BUT

ONLY BECAUSE I LOOKED IT UP IN CHAMBERS TWENTIETH CENTURY

DICTIONARY. VECTOR MEANS ·.. AND I QUOTE ... "A DIRECTED

QUANTITY, AS A STRAIGHT LINE IN SPACE, INVOLVING BOTH ITS

DIRECTION AND MAGNITUDE." IT ALSO MEANS ... AND AGAIN I QUOTE "A CARRIER OF
DISEASE OR INFECTION." IT IS ALSO "THE

COURSE OF AN AIRCRAFT, MISSILE, ETC."

THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS A VECTOR.

I AM NOT, I ASSURE YOU, A DIRECTED QUANTITY OR A STRAIGHT

LINE IN SPACE ... I AM NOT A CARRIER OF DISEASE - AT LEAST,

NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW - AND I AM NOT THE COURSE OF AN

AIRCRAFT. IN FACT, I AM NOT A VECTOR.

HOWEVER, IF JIM KEITH HAD REALLY WANTED THE TRUTH ABOUT ME,

IF HE'D BOTHERED TO WRITE TO ME OR TELEPHONE ME, AS HUNDREDS

OF OTHERS HAVE DONE HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SUCH AN ASS OF

HIMSELF IN DESCRIBING ME AS ONE.  FOLLOWING THROUGH THE

POSSIBILITY, AS HE SEES IT, THAT I AM A PAWN OF THE AMERICAN

GOVERNMENT, HE GOES ON: "ALONG THIS LINE, LESLIE WATKINS'

BACKGROUND AS A WRITER IS INTERESTING.  HIS BOOKS, IN ORDER

OF PUBLICATION, ARE THE SLEEPWALK KILLERS, A NON-FICTION

STUDY OF SOMNABULISTIC


VIOLENCE, "THE KILLING OF IDI AMIN", ABOUT WATKINS' EXPERIENCES

WHEN IMPRISONED BY THE AMIN REGIME, THE UNEXPLODED MAN,

CHARACTERISED AS A "THRILLER" ALTHOUGH THE TITLE SOUNDS AS

IF IT MIGHT BE ON THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE MIND CONTROL

THEME  ALTERNATIVE 3, THE REAL EXORCISTS, A NONFICTION BOOK

ABOUT EXORCISM, PRIVATE OPINIONS, NONFICTION ABOUT PUBLIC

OPINION POLLS, BILLION DOLLAR MIRACLE, A BOOK ABOUT THE NEW

ZEALAND TRAVEL INDUSTRY, AND THE STORY OF MONEY, COMMISSIONED

BY BARCLAYS BANK."

HE APPARENTLY WASN'T INTERESTED IN READING ANY OF THESE

BOOKS, ALTHOUGH THREE WERE BIG SELLERS WHEN PUBLISHED BY

MAJOR PUBLISHERS IN HIS COUNTRY - AMERICA - AND DOESN'T SEEM

TO HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT. AS A SERIOUS RESEARCHER,

HE PREFERED TO GUESS WHAT THEY MIGHT BE ABOUT. AND HE GUESSED

WRONGLY.  THE KILLING OF IDI AMIN, FOR INSTANCE, IS NOT ABOUT

MY EXPERIENCES WHEN I WAS IMPRISONED IN UGANDA, ALTHOUGH I

WAS IMPRISONED THERE.  THE UNEXPLODED MAN HAS ABSOLUTELY

NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.  PRIVATE

OPINIONS ... WELL THERE HE'S EVEN GOT THE TITLE WRONG.

YET HIS COMPLETE IGNORANCE OF THESE BOOKS DOESN'T INHIBIT HIM

FROM STATING: "ALTOGETHER AN INTERESTING MIX OF TOPICS, WITH

A PREDOMINANT THEME THAT MIGHT BE TERMED MANIPULATIVE

PSYCHOLOGY."

WHAT PREPOSTOROUS GARBAGE !

THEN, IN CASE NO-ONE BELIEVES HIS SUGGESTION THAT I'VE BEEN

HIRED BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT TO HOODWINK THE WORLD BY

WRITING THIS NOVEL, HE MAKES YET ANOTHER BIZARRE STATEMENT.

HE SAYS THERE IS A "POSSIBILITY" THAT ALTERNATIVE 3 IS WHAT

HE CALLS "AN EXPRESSION OF NAZI OCCULT DOCTRINE." THEN HE

GOES ON TO LINK ME AND MY BOOK WITH ADOLF HITLER I I WAS 15

WHEN HITLER DIED IN 1945

BUT KEITH ISN'T ONE TO LET COMMON SENSE - OR TRUTH - GET IN

THE WAY.  AMONG THE MANY PECULIAR CLAIMS HE MAKES IN HIS BOOK

- ONLY TENUOUSLY RELATED TO HIS THEME IS THAT DURING WORLD

WAR 11 GERMAN V-2s WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH FOR SEVEN

THOUSAND BRITISH CITIZENS."... IN FACT, THE FIRST V2 ROCKET

FELL ON LONDON ON SEPTEMBER 8 1944 - ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS

BEFORE GEMANY SURRENDERED ... THAT WAS ON MAY 7 1945 ... AND

THE TOTAL OF FATALITIES FROM THESE ROCKETS QUOTED BY KEITH -

SEVEN THOUSAND - IS ALMOST CERTAINLY WIDELY INACCURATE.  BUT

LET'S NOT QUIBBLE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE HIS RECITAL OF SO-CALLED

FACTS GETS SILLIER AND SILLIER...  THEN HE GOES ON

"HOWEVER, THROUGH FALSE REPORTS CHANNELLED THROUGH ABWEHR

AGENTS BRITISH INTELLIGENCE WAS ABLE TO RE-TARGET THE

MISSILES FROM FALLING MOSTLY ON UPPER CLASS NEIGHBOURHOODS

INTO THE WORKING CLASS NEIGHBOURHOODS OF SOUTH LONDON !"

AT THAT TIME I WAS A PUPIL AT LUTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL -  45

KILOMETRES NORTH OF LONDON - AND I CAN ASSURE THE LUTON AREA,

WELL AWAY FROM SOUTH LONDON, HAD ITS SHARE OF V2 ROCKETS..


THERE IS SO MUCH DAFT MATERIAL IN THE KEITH BOOKS THAT, AS I

SAY, I WOULDN'T HAVE BE WASTING TIME EVEN MENTIONING THEM IF

WERE NOT FOR ONE DISTURBING FACT. BY SUGGESTING THAT CERTAIN

SELECTED PARTS OF MY BOOK ARE TRUE, HE HAS DONE READERS A

GRAVE DISSERVICE BECAUSE HE HAS FANNED FEARS SUCH AS THOSE I

MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS TALK. IF I TRIM SOME OF

HIS EXCESSIVE VERBIAGE, HERE IS WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAYS ON

PAGES 226 AND 227.  "ALTERNATIVE 3 POINTS TO ... THE DEADLY

ALIGNMENT OF TECHNOLOGY AND ELITIST CONTROL ...(AND) IT IS

RIGHT ON THE MARK."    HE GOES ON: "I DO KNOW THAT

ALTERNATIVE 3, IN ITS WORST AND MOST GRUESOME VISION, IS

ABSOLUTELY INEVITABLE." IN OTHER WORDS, HE IS TELLING READERS

WHO ARE ALREADY ANXIOUS ... BE FRIGHTENED, BE VERY

FRIGHTENED, BECAUSE SOME OF WHAT WATKINS HAS WRITTEN - SOME

OF THIS "GRUESOME VISION" IS ABSOLUTELY INEVITABLE. THAT, MY

FRIENDS,IS GROSSLY IRRESPONSIBLE.

****

NOW LET US, AT LAST, GET DOWN TO SOME SENSE. I MENTIONED

EARLIER THAT, THANKS LARGELY TO MATERIAL I RECEIVED AFTER THE

BOOK WAS PUBLISHED, I HAVE BECOME CONVINCED THAT THE SUPERPOWERS HAVE BEEN -
AND STILL ARE - CO-OPERATING IN A

CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE. BUT IT IS NOT THE EVIL, BALEFUL, ONE

PEOPLE BELIEVE I PRESENTED IN MY NOVEL ALTERNATIVE 3. I HAD

PLANNED TO WRITE A FOLLOW-UP BOOK - BACKLASH TO ALTERNATIVE 3

- USING MUCH OF THE MATERIAL SUPPLIED BY READERS TO EXAMINE

THE REAL TRUTH OF THIS CONSPIRACY. BUT WHEN I MOVED FROM

LONDON TO SYDNEY TO
TAKE A NEW POST THERE AS A SENIOR EDITOR WITH READER'S DIGESI

MY GOODS AND FURNITURE WENT BY SEA.AND, UNFORTUNATELY, A

CHEST CONTAINING ALL THE MATERIAL FOR THE NEW BOOK - THE

LETTERS, THE TRANSCRIPTS OF INTERVIEWS, THE LOT - WERE

MYSTERIOUSLY LOST IN TRANSIT.  CONSEQUENTLY, I WAS UNABLE TO

WRITE THAT BOOK.

TONIGHT I WANT TO PUT THE RECORD STRAIGHT. MANY PEOPLE MAY

FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN

SECRET CO-OPERATION BETWEEN AMERICA AND RUSSIA. THE FALLACY

OF THAT BELIEF WAS EXPOSED, AS MANY OF YOU WILL KNOW, BY

MAJOR GEORGE RACEY JORDAN WHO FOR TWO YEARS - MAY 1942 TO

JUNE 1944 - WAS AMERICA'S TOP LIAISON MAN WITH THE RUSSIANS

OVER LEASE-LEND. HIS DIARIES - MAJOR JORDAN'S DIARIES, AS

THEY'RE KNOWN - SHOW THAT TOP-SECRET INFORMATION AND MATERI

TO MAKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS WAS THEN BEING FURTIVELY SUPPLIED T

THE RUSSIANS, AND THIS, ACCORDING TO MAJOR JORDAN, WAS NOT

JUST A WARTIME PRACTICE. IT WAS KNOWN TO HAVE CONTINUED AFT

IT BECAME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, THANKS LARGELY TO HIS COURAGEOU

EXPOSE, UNTIL DECEMBER 13 1949.  THAT WAS THREE YEARS AFTER

WINSTON CHURCHILL COINED THE MEMORABLE PHRASE ABOUT AN "IR

CURTAIN" HAVING DESCENDED ACROSS EUROPE. THE COLD WAR, AS

BECAME kNOWN, BEGAN IN EARNEST IN FEBRUARY 1948 WHEN THE

RUSSIAN DICTATOR, JOSEPH STALIN BLOCKADED BERLIN - FORCING THE

WESTERN POWERS TO SUPPLY BERLINERS WITH FOOD AND OTHER

ESSENTIALS BY AIR.

SO, EVEN AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR, THERE APPARENTLY WAS

SECRET CO-OPERATION RUSSIA AND AMERICA WHY SHOULD THEY SECRETLY CO'OPERATE
TO HIDE THE TRUTH ABOUT UFOS?
NOW THAT IS THE KEY QUESTION.

DESPITE ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT FLYING SAUCERS ARE A REALITY,

NASA AND OTHER ORGANISATIONS KEEP DENYING THEIR EXISTENCE. A

MAJOR INVESTIGATION INTO THEM, INITIATED ONLY BECAUSE OF

MOUNTING PRESSURE FROM THE PUBLIC, WAS LAUNCHED IN 'THE

SIXTIES BY A TEAM HEADED BY A PROFESSOR OF ASTROPHYSICS, DR

EDWARD CONDON. HE HAD A BUDGET OF HALF A MILLION AMERICAN

DOLLARS WHICH, THIRTY YEARS AGO, WAS A GREAT HEAP OF MONEY.

HIS EVENTUAL REPORT DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF FLYING SAUCERS

AND A PANEL OF THJE AMERICAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

ENDORSED THE CONCLUSION THAT : "FURTHER EXTENSIVE STUDY

PROBABLY CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED."

YET CONDON'S JOINT PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, PHYSICIST DR

JAMES MACDONALD DERIDED THE CONDON REPORT.  HE SAID: "NO

MATTER HOW LONG IT IS, HWAT IT INCLUDES, HOW IT IS SAID, OR

WHAT IT RECOMMENDS, IT WILL LACK THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF

CREDIBILITY."

IT WILL LACK THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF CREDIBILITY THIS HELPED CONFIRM THE
BELIEF THAT THE CONDON SO-CALLED

INVESTIGATION WAS MERELY PART OF AN ELABORATE COVER-UP. THE REASON FOR THAT
COVER-UP, HOWEVER, WAS TO AVOID MASS

PANIC. MASS PANIC OVER FACTS WHICH WERE WELL-KNOWN TO TOP GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS AROUND THE WORLD.



1. SPACE CRAFT FROM AT LEAST ONE OTHER PLANET HAD INVESTIGATED THIS WORLD.

2. TRAVELLERS FROM SOME OF THOSE CRAFT HAD LANDED AND WERE

AMONG US - STUDYING US AS IF WE WERE STRANGE CREATURES

IN A ZOO, MAYBE TRANSPORTING SOME OF US TO THEIR HOME

PLANETS AS EXHIBITS.

THAT IS WHAT THE MEN IN BLACK ARE REPORTED TO HAVE DESCRIBED.

MOST OF YOU, I'M SURE, WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH THE ACCOUNTS OF

MEETINGS WITH THE MEN IN BLACK.  ONE OF THE EARLIEST AND - TO

MY MIND - MOST CONVINCING CAME FROM AMERICAN RESEARCHER

ALBERT BENDER OF THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING SAUCER BUREAU  HE

WAS AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO, IN

MARCH 1953, TOOK PART IN WHAT THEY CALLED C ...  FOR CONTACT

... DAY

AT PRECISELY THE SAME SYNCHRONISED TIME - 6.OPM USA EASTERN

TIME, 11.0 PM LONDON TIME, 11.0 AM NEW ZEALAND TIME - THEY

ALL CONCENTRATED ON TRYING TO SEND AN AGREED TELEPATHIC

MESSAGE TO THE 99 OCCUPANTS OF INTERPLANETARY CRAFT THAT HAVE

BEEN OBSERVING OUR PLANET EARTH."

THE MESSAGE ENDED WITH THESE WORDS: "BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

CREATING A MIRACLE HERE ON OUR PLANET TO WAKE UP THE IGNORANT

ONES TO REALITY. LET US HEAR FROM YOU. WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS."


LATER, BENDER CLAIMED, HE WAS VISITED ON A NUMBER OF

OCCASIONS BY THREE MEN. HE SAID: "THEIR CLOTHING WAS MADE OF

A BLACK MATERIAL WHICH REMINDED ME OF CLOTH USED IN THE

ATTIRE OF CLERGYMEN. IT WAS WELL-PRESSED AND APPEARED ALMOST

NEW.  ALL THE OTHER APPAREL SUCH AS TIES, SHIRTS, STOCKINGS

AND SHOES WERE ALSO BLACK. THEY WORE HATS, OF HOMBURG STYLE

ALSO BLACK."

THEY ALSO WORE BLACK GLOVES, HE ADDED, AND THEIR FACES WERE

UNPLEASANT TO LOOK AT.

WE SHOULD NOT ASSUME FOR ONE MOMENT THAT THIS IS WHAT THE

ALIENS WOULD NORMALLLY HAVE LOOKED LIKE. THIS IS WHAT THEY

CHOSE TO LOOK LIKE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE RIGHT IMPRESSION ON

BENDER.

PSYCHIC RESEARCHERS KNOW THAT DISCARNATE SPIRITS,

MANIPULATING ELEMENTAL FORCES, CAN APPEAR IN THE FORM OF

FLESH AND BLOOD. DURING THE NEARLY TWO YEARS I SPENT

INVESTIGATING EXORCISM FOR ONE OF MY OTHER BOOKS~ I CAME

ACROSS A NUMBER OF RELIABLE WITNESSES WHO'D SEEN SUCH

APPEARANCES. THE DISCARNATE SPIRITS ... OR ENTITIES OR

WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO CALL THEM ... CAN CHOOSE HOW THEY WISH

TO BE SEEN. IT MAY BE IN SOME EXTREMELY HORRIFIC FORM IF THEY

WISH TO TERRIFY. OR, IF THEIR INTENTIONS ARE BENEVOLENT, THEY

CAN APPEAR IN A BEAUTIFUL AND REASSURING FORM.  ALL THIS HAS

BEEN KNOWN, OF COURSE, FOR GENERATIONS. AFTER ALL, ISN'T THIS

PRECISELY HOW THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST MANIFESTED ITSELF IN

LIVING HUMAN FORM TO HIS DISCIPLES - AND TO PEOPLE SUCH AS

MARY MACDALA - AFTER HIS PHYSICAL DEATH ?

SO LET'S GET BACK TO BENDER'S VISITORS.

THEY TOLD HIM THEY HAD A LIFE SPAN FIVE TIMES THAT OF THE

AVERAGE HUMAN BUT THAT SOME OF THEIR SPECIES LIVE EVEN

LONGER.

THEY TOLD HIM THAT MANY OTHER PLANETS WERE FAR MORE ADVANCED

THAN THIS ONE AND SAID: "EARTH WILL CONSTANTLY BE UNDER

SURVEILLANCE BY THESE SYSTEMS .. "

DID THEY INTEND TO HARM HUMANS ?

HERE, ACCORDING TO BENDER, WAS THE REPLY: "WE HAVE FOUND IT

NECESSARY TO FRIGHTEN MANY, BUT WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO

GRAVER ACTION, IN SOME CASES WHICH INVOLVED DEATHS AMONG YOUR

FELLOW EARTHMEN. WE HAVE CARRIED OFF MANY OF YOUR PEOPLE TO

OUR OWN PLANET FOR MEANS OF EXPERIMENTATION AND ALSO TO PLACE

SOME OF THEM ON EXHIBIT FOR OUR OWN PEOPLE TO SEE. WE HAVE

SPECIMENS OF PEOPLE FROM MANY PLANETS."

THEY STRESSED THEIR INTENTIONS WERE FRIENDLY BUT THEY ALSO

GAVE THIS WARNING: 'WITH THE PUSH OF A SMALL BUTTON IN OUR

SPACE LABORATORY WE CAN DETONATE EVERY BOMB YOU HAVE IN YOUR

STOCKPILES ALL OVER THE GLOBE, CAUSING ALMOST TOTAL

DESTRUCTION TO YOUR PLANET."

WHY WOULD THEY CONSIDER DOING THAT ?

THEY WOULD DO, BENDER WAS TOLD, "ONLY IF WE WERE DISCOVERED

AND YOUR PEOPLE TRIED TO STOP US WITH WHATEVER MEANS THEY HAD

AT THEIR DISPOSAL."

THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION - AND MUCH MORE - I AM CONVINCED WAS

KNOWN IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE KREMLIN. AND GOVERNMENTS

HAVE BEEN DESPERATE TO SUPPRESS IT, TO VIGOROUSLY DENY ITS

EXISTENCE, BECAUSE THE WORLD LEADERS KNOW IT COULD CREATE

HORRENDOUS PANIC. THAT CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE IS THE REAL

CONSPIRACY. NOT THE FICTIONAL ONE WHICH, IN MY ORIGINAL

INNOCENCE AND IGNORANCE, I CREATED FOR THE BOOK ALTERNATIVE 3.

I DO NOT CONSIDER FOR ONE MOMENT THAT THERE IS ANY REAL

REASON TO FEAR THE INTENTIONS OF THE VISITORS WHO, I AM SURE,

HAVE COME HERE FROM OTHER PLANETS AND ARE STILL HERE. THEIR

INTENTIONS ARE NOWHERE NEAR AS EVIL AS, SAY, THOSE OF THE

YUGOSLAVIAN DICTATOR SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC.  THEY ARE CURIOUS.

THEY ARE INTERESTED. BUT THEY MEAN US NO HARM.

FINALLY, I AM DEEPLY SORRY THAT MY NOVEL, ALTERNATIVE 3,

SHOULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH ANXIETY. BUT IF IT HAS MADE MANY

READERS THINK MORE DEEPLY - AND MORE INTELLIGENTLY - ON THIS

SUBJECT OF UFOS AND SPACE TRAVEL - THEN I FEEL IT HAS DONE

SOME GOOD.



THANK YOU.
Les Watkins.
