    THE AQUARIUM CONSPIRACY

    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.
