 Abductees & cultsCIA agents and UFO cults




From:  http://www.visitations.com/cannon/cannon.htm

CULTS=20

Some abductees I have spoken to have been directed to join certain =
religious/philosophical sects. These cults often bear close examination. =


The leaders of these groups tend to be "ex"-CIA operatives, or Special =
Forces veterans. They are often linked through personal relations, even =
though they espouse widely varying traditions. I have heard unsettling =
reports that the leaders of some of these groups have used hypnosis, =
drugs, or "mind machines" on their charges. Members of these cults have =
reported periods of missing time during ceremonies or "study periods."=20

I strongly urge abduction researchers to examine closely any small =
"occult" groups an abductee might join. For example, one familiar leader =
of the UFO fringe -- a man well-known for his espousal of the doctrine =
of "love and light" -- is Virgil Armstrong, a close personal friend of =
General John Singlaub, the notorious Iran-Contra player, who recently =
headed the neo-fascist World Anti-Communist League. Armstrong, who also =
happens to be an ex-Green Beret and former CIA operative, figured into =
my inquiry in an interesting fashion: An abductee of my acquaintance was =
told -- by her "entities," naturally -- to seek out this UFO spokesman =
and join his "sky-watch" activities, which, my source alleges, included =
a mass channelling session intended to send debilitating "negative" =
vibrations to Constantine Chernenko, then the leader of the Soviet =
Union. Of course, intracerebral voices may have a purely psychological =
origin, so Armstrong can hardly be held to task for the abductee's =
original "directive."[179] Still, his past associations with military =
intelligence inevitably bring disturbing possibilities to mind.=20

Even more ominous than possible ties between UFO cults and the =
intelligence community are the cults' links with the shadowy I AM group, =
founded by Guy Ballard in the 1930s[180]. According to researcher David =
Stupple, "If you look at the contactee groups today, you'll see that =
most of the stable, larger ones are actually neo-I AM groups, with some =
sort of tie to Ballard's organization." [181] This cult, therefore, =
bears investigation.=20

Guy Ballard's "Mighty I AM Religious Activity," grew, in large part, out =
of William Dudley Pelly's Silver Shirts, an American NAZI =
organization[182]. Although Ballard himself never openly proclaimed NAZI =
affiliation, his movement was tinged with an extremely right-wing =
political philosophy, and in secret meetings he "decreed" the death of =
President Franklin Roosevelt[183]. The I AM philosophy derived from =
Theosophy, and in this author's estimation bears a more- than-cursory =
resemblance to the Theosophically-based teachings that informed the =
proto-NAZI German occult lodges[184].=20

After the war, Pelley (who had been imprisoned for sedition during the =
hostilities) headed an occult-oriented organization call Soulcraft, =
based in Noblesville, Indiana. Another Soulcraft employee was the =
controversial contactee George Hunt Williamson (real name: Michel =
d'Obrenovic), who co-authored UFOs CONFIDENTIAL with John McCoy, a =
proponent of the theory that a Jewish banking conspiracy was preventing =
disclosure of the solution to the UFO mystery[185]. Later, Williamson =
founded the I AM-oriented Brotherhood of the Seven Rays in Peru[186]. =
Another famed contactee, George Van Tassel, was associated with Pelley =
and with the notoriously anti-Semitic Reverend Wesley Swift (founder of =
the group which metamorphosed into the Aryan nations).[187]=20

The most visible offspring of I AM is Elizabeth Clare Prophet's Church =
Universal and Triumphant, a group best- known for its massive arms =
caches in underground bunkers. CUT was recently exposed in COVERT ACTION =
INFORMATION BULLETIN as a conduit of CIA funds[188], and according to =
researcher John Judge, has ties to organizations allied to the World =
Anti-Communist League[189] Prophet is becoming involved in abduction =
research and has sponsored presentations by Budd Hopkins and other =
prominent investigators. In his book THE ARMSTRONG REPORT: ETs AND UFOs: =
THEY NEED US, WE DON'T NEED THEM[sic][190], Virgil Armstrong directs =
troubled abductees toward Prophet's group. (Perhaps not insignificantly, =
he also suggests that abductees plagued by implants alleviate their =
problem by turning to "the I AM force" within.[191])=20

Another UFO channeller, Frederick Von Mierers, has promulgated both a =
cult with a strong I AM orientation[192] and an apparent con-game =
involving over-appraised gemstones. Mierers is an anti-Semite who =
contends that the Holocaust never happened and that the Jews control the =
world's wealth.=20

UFORUM is a flying saucer organization popular with Los Angeles-area =
abductees; its founder is Penny Harper, a member of a radical =
Scientology breakaway group which connects the teachings of L. Ron =
Hubbard with pronouncements against "The Illuminati" (a mythical secret =
society) and other BETES NOIR familiar from right-wing conspiracy =
literature. Harper directs members of her group to read THE SPOTLIGHT, =
an extremist tabloid (published by Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby) which =
denies the reality of the Holocaust and posits a "Zionist" scheme to =
control the world[193].=20

More than one unwary abductee has fallen in with groups such as those =
listed above. It isn't difficult to imagine how some of these =
questionable groups might mold an abductee's recollection of his =
experience -- and perhaps help direct his future actions.=20

Some modern abductees, with otherwise-strong claims, claim encounters =
with blond, "Nordic" aliens reminiscent of the early contactee era. =
Surely, the "Nordic" appearance of these aliens sprang from the dubious =
spiritual tradition of Van Tassell, Ballard, Pelley, McCoy, etc. Why, =
then, are some modern abductees seeing these very same other-worldly =
UEBERMENSCHEN?=20

One abductee of my acquaintance claims to have had beneficial =
experiences with these "blond" aliens -- who, he believes, came =
originally from the Pleiades. Interestingly, in the late 1960s, the =
psychopathically anti-Semitic Rev. Wesley Swift predicted this odd twist =
in the abduction tale. In a broadcast "sermon," he spoke at length about =
UFOs, claiming that there were "good" aliens and "bad" aliens. The good =
ones, he insisted, were tall, blond Aryans -- WHO HAILED FROM THE =
PLEIADES. He made this pronouncement long before the current trends in =
abduction lore.=20

Could some of the abductions be conducted by an extreme right-wing =
element within the national security establishment? Disagreeable as the =
possibility seems, we should note that the "lunatic right" is =
represented in all other walks of life; certainly hard-rightists have =
taken positions within the military-intelligence complex as well.
