ALIEN CONSPIRACY
Believers of an American plot to unite the world against UFOs say such a concept is being generated at Area 51 and the result will be a fascist rule similar to Germany under Adolf Hitler.
By Joe Schoenmann
Review-Journal
RACHEL -- For the 150 people gathered at sunrise Saturday near one of the most talked about classified military facilities in the world, "Area 51" is home not to alien UFOs but to a good old American conspiracy.
The alien-UFO story, most of them now say, is government-concocted propaganda designed to throw people off the real story behind Groom Lake, as the military prefers to call Area 51.
If they doubted themselves before they got to this roadstop 150 miles north of Las Vegas, they likely left more-convinced as the nearby rally fell under the steady gaze of federal park rangers, security guards on distant hills and unmanned cameras and microphones behind unmarked boundaries.

Assembled at 6 a.m. on the sixth day on the sixth month -- symbolic admission to the devil's work many said is being done here -- they came from as far away as New York, Illinois and Oregon for the first People's Rally.
Organizer Norio Hayakawa, a funeral director from Gardena, Calif., called it a historic event that will grow. His aim for the rally was to bring attention to the plight of 39 former workers who were denied in 1996 the right to sue the Air Force facility for harm they say they suffered from exposure to toxic chemicals.
"Three have passed away and the rest are still sick and not treated yet," said Hayakawa, speaking with a bullhorn. "We believe the workers have a right to be cured and treated for their diseases."
He also proposed -- and figured he was being listened to and recorded through the various devices propped on the hillsides -- that the government create a fence around the base and a guard station at the fence.
"They have a $22 billion budget," he said, referring to the "black budget" tax dollars that fund the research. "So building a guard shack and fence should be no problem to them."
While he tiptoed on the issue of the purpose of the research, he also cautioned that research at the base could be used against the American public.
"We believe they have a right to build weapons for the national defense," Hayakawa said. "But we believe they could also be used for surveillance on us in the near future."
His words drew early morning applause from the group, which included some insurance agents cum videographers from Las Vegas hoping to package their footage into a TV pilot, and New York Times columnist Phil Patton, who was mildly hawking his soon-to-be-published book, "Dreamland."
There was also James Whisler, 30, a heavy-equipment mechanic from Battle Mountain, who is simply a devout Christian convinced that the billions of tax dollars spent at the base are not for the protection of America but for its enslavement.
He wants to save as many souls as possible before that happens.
Sitting Friday night in the Little A'Le'Inn Cafe on state Route 375 in Rachel -- in the background Hayakawa plays country western music on his electric organ -- Whisler exhausts himself and overwhelms listeners with a barrage of fact and belief that encompasses everything from the design of the nation's capital to John Lennon's song "Imagine" as proof that a one-world Luciferian government is the goal of elitist Americans.
"This," he said of Groom Lake, "is preparation for a deception that will come upon the world."
In a nutshell, Whisler believes that elitists known as the Illuminati control the United States through the Federal Reserve, and with their fingers on the nation's purse strings, they are using tax dollars to design UFOs to terrorize the world for the distinct purpose of unifying it.
"Create a common enemy to unite people of the world," he said.
Once it's unified, the goal is to create a fascist rule, much like Germany under Adolf Hitler, he said.
"If you were to take over the world, this is how it would be done," Whistler said. "The population of the world will be reduced drastically very soon."
Whisler wasn't hateful in his delivery, just impassioned.
Syndicated radio talk show host Anthony Hilder showed more revulsion. Wearing a magenta shirt and pants, he made a big impression in voicing his open distaste for the government under President Clinton.
"Can you imagine 100 Bill Clintons?" he asked, finishing a rapid-fire soliloquy on human cloning. "It would be the establishment, literally, of hell on Earth."
Another talk show host, Victor Camacho, arrived from Los Angeles with a bus load of listeners to his 1 to 5 a.m. radio program, "A Little of Everything." The group drove nine hours, stopping 30 minutes in Las Vegas, and got to the rally site at 2:15 a.m.
Mauricio Ramirez said he's been interested in the UFOs since he saw one as a boy in Tampico, Mexico, 20 years ago. He and the others planned to stay overnight Saturday and hike with Hayakawa today to a summit to view the base, which will be more than 20 miles away.
"I would like to see the base," he said. "I would like some answers."
Michael Schratt, 29, a draftsman from San Diego, was versed on the high-tech aircraft believed under construction at the facility. He produced scale models of what he said were Air Force flying saucers and other craft built upon information gleaned from public documents.
His ultimate interest is less apocalyptic than it is curiosity. He wants to get into the base to see for himself what he's only been allowed to imagine.
"I'd like those guys to just carry me in there," said Schratt, looking up to a white security truck on a nearby hill. "To get in, you've got to convince them you've got something that they need. That's what I'm trying to find."

My comments:
This concept that the government (or whatever group that influences the government) could, in the future, create and stage a fake "extraterrestrial" UFO-type threat in order to create panic and to enforce the future creation of a global government, has been supported by researchers such as Bill Cooper, Anthony J. Hilder, Ted Gunderson, Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura, Clyde Lewis and many others, including a Canadian journalist Serge Monast (with whom I corresponded back in 1993) who first brought up Project Blue Beam concept in 1992. It could be a long shot.....and we will never know.... :)
In conjuction with this topic, here is an interesting speculation about the 1997 Phoenix Lights incident:

Farm/ranch in Dulce, New Mexico for sale
June 4, 2012
from Norio Hayakawa at the Civilian Intelligence Central
E-mail = noriohayakawa@gmail.com
Here is a letter than I just received (on June 2, 2012):
(QUOTE)
"Dear Mr Hayakawa, my name is (NAME WITHHELD).
I read about the tour you gave in Dulce New Mexico in May.
My mother owns a farm/ranch smack dab in the middle of Gomez Ranch which is now owned by the Jicarillas.
My email is to inform you that we are intending to sell the farm/ranch very soon.
I noticed you will be having a conference in California on June 16, and 17 th.
I thought you might mention to interested parties that the our property is for sale.
I am including a snapshot of a Jicarilla map.
Our ranch is the white spot in the middle of the Gomez Ranch site.
The ranch in question is east of Mundo Lake , North of Enbom Lake and South of the highway, between J-8 and US 64. It is on the the Gomez ranch consisting of 440 acres. It is just northeast of the Dulce airport.
In fact one of the cattle mutilations that occurred in the 70's occurred almost on our fence line.
My brother knows exactly where as he and my father (who is now deceased) saw the mutilated cow.
Would't it be awesome if you and your affiliates could buy and build a center on the property that would help you further your studies on UFO research?
The land is 70% usable for organic dry land farming.
It has a spring for water and is abundant in elk and other wildlife.
The land runs adjacent to highway 64/84and is three miles from the paved highway.
Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in.
Thank you so much.
(NAME WITHHELD)
P.S.
We are not Jicarilla. We are Spanish. Our ranch is a private ranch. It was U.S. patented land under the homestead act of 1862. My dad purchased it in about 1950 from my grandfather. The Gomez ranch was also a private ranch at one time and only fairly recently purchased by the Jicarilla Apache Nation.
As for the price that is yet to be determined based on market value and value to other possible interested purchasers."
(UNQUOTE)
Here is the latest that I received from (NAME WITHHELD)
(QUOTE)
"Norio, to be more specific on the ranch regarding price, one interested party from Texas whom we did not solicit but who approached us, is offering $880,000. My mom will sell as soon as she gets $1,000000. Maybe a consortium of buyers could come up with the money for a chance at (almost) cattle mutilation ground zero.
Something is going on in those hills.
Thanks again." (from NAME WITHHELD)
(UNQUOTE)
P.S.:
Certainly this seems like an ideal location. I know the general area of this location since Edmund Gomez showed me part of this ranch in 2011.
And also when I talked with the Public Relations Officer in Dulce last month, he seemed to show an interest in a near-future large conference to be held in Dulce....as well as my suggestion of establishing some kind of a research center in Dulce.

Amazing footage of 1967 underground nuclear explosion, 22 miles southwest of Dulce, New Mexico
from Norio Hayakawa at Civilian Intelligence Central
Here is an amazing footage of the 1967 underground nuclear explosion that took place 22 miles southwest of Dulce, New Mexico (this footage was found in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and is about 40 minutes long, with absolutely no sound):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOwy2bl9Hb4
On May 12, I brought a group from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho to visit the Ground Zero of this historical site. It was my third visit to this site. The first time was in 2007 when a Jicarilla Apache resident of Dulce guided me here. The next visit was on May 2, 2012 when I came here with a friend from Rio Rancho.
On this last visit on May 12, I also invited Hoyt Velarde, resident of Dulce and long-time Director of Public Safety who had never been to this site before.
To get to this historical site is quite difficult for most folks, due to the fact that the 7 mile dirt road that leads to this site is not clearly posted as County Rd. 357 but, instead, is only posted as J-10 Rd., a Jicarilla Apache Rd.
It is accessible through this south entrance of J-10 Rd. on Hwy 64, about 10 miles west of the juncture of Hwy 537 and Hwy 64, near mile marker 115.

Norio Hayakawa's Free Guided Tour to Dulce, New Mexico on May 12, 2012
from Norio Hayakawa at Civilian Intelligence Central
This is to inform everyone that I will be conducting a FREE, guided one-day tour to Dulce, New Mexico on Saturday, May 12, 2012.
The theme of my free, guided tour is: UFO CONSPIRACY TOUR OF DULCE, NEW MEXICO.
The information is also posted on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9AknF3k4dU
I will be leading a car caravan for this guided tour. The car caravan will depart at 6:30 a.m. from the northwest-most corner of the parking lot of HOME DEPOT (located at the northeast corner of Hwy 550 and Sprint Blvd. in Rio Rancho.
The caravan will proceed on Hwy 550 going towards Cuba.
We will then go north on Hwy 537 (which will begin at the corner of Hwy 550 and Apache Nugget Casino).
We will then go West on Hwy 64.
FIRST STOP:
GROUND ZERO of the 1967 underground explosion (PROJECT GASBUGGY) that took place 22 miles SW of Dulce.
We will be spending about an hour or so at this location, from around 9:45 a.m. to around 10:45 a.m.
For those of you who will be joining us directly at Dulce, here are the directions on how to get to GROUND ZERO.
From there, we will proceed to Dulce, going east on Hwy 64.
We will join with the other contingent of the trip (those who will meet us directly at Dulce) at the parking lot of Best Western Hotel in Dulce.
The caravan will depart from the parking lot of Best Western Hotel at 11:30 a.m.
We will take you to the famous Gomez grocery store on Hwy 64 and view the Gomez family’s last remaining ranch (where cattle mutilations took place in the 70s).
We will then proceed back to Dulce and take a left on Narrow Gage Rd.
We will make a right at J-2 dirt road, which is located at the foothills of the Archuleta Mesa.
FIRST STOP:
the road that goes up to Mount Archuleta.
SECOND STOP:
Seguro Canyon Rd. (the road that goes up to Archuleta Mesa)....... We will not go up the Archuleta Mesa.
THIRD STOP:
We will stop at the picnic area of Navajo River on J-2 road. This area was the scene of alleged bigfoot sightings years ago.
FOURTH STOP:
The bridge from where communication towers of Archuleta Mesa are clearly visible. We will also go to the Dulce Rock area (where there have been many sightings of strange flying objects in the past).
We will also go to the Dulce Lake.
We will also go to the Dulce airport area (where there had been reports of strange hovering objects at the end of the runway in the past).
We will also visit the neighboring town of Lumberton from where we can see the Eastern Slopes of Archuleta Mesa.
We will talk to some local residents who have some amazing sighting reports in that area.
We will then go back to Dulce and visit the parking lot of Dulce Elementary School (that has a rather enigmatic design of its circular driveway as seen from satellite photos).
We will see the “arrow” on that driveway.
We will also look at a snow-capped mountain located northeast of this spot - exactly 18 miles away from that spot.
At each of these stops, I will be giving explanations of the significance of each location. There will be MUCH, MUCH MORE to this very interesting (and educational) field trip to Dulce, New Mexico.
Please join us on Saturday, May 12, 2012!!

Area 51...a social, cultural and psychological phenomenon entrenched in America's "sub-culture"
from Norio Hayakawa at: Civilian Intelligence Central
E-mail = noriohayakawa@gmail.com
March 16, 2012:
It seems so astounding just to think that in the past 25 years or so, Area 51 has transformed itself from an obscure R & D and testing facility at Groom Lake, Nevada, to the world's most well-known "secret base", bar none!!
In the mid to the late 1950's, the location so remote and unknown to the world was not even officially CLASSIFIED initially, according to military aviation historian, Peter Merlin. It was then a CIA managed operating base.
The term Area 51 was not even officially used by the Air Force even later on (and even to this day) because it was simply a designation initially created by the Atomic Energy Commission (today's Department of Energy) to describe various parcels in the Nevada Test Site.
There is only one official name for the facility used by the U.S. government: "an operating base near Groom Lake". Notice that the government does not even state that the base is at Groom Lake. It only states that it is "near" Groom Lake!!
It seems that the government does not even officially use AFFTC-DET 3 as a designation for the area. (Air Force Flight Test Center Detachment 3, allegedly a managerial umbrella of Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California).
(The exception was when a Security Manual for security personnel was printed in the late 1980s. They did use the desgination DET-3, alluding to the AFFTC).
It was around 1987 when rumors slowly began to circulate among some researchers that the base (among other projects such as hyper-sonic spy planes) may have been test-flying a recovered spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin!!
In 1988 Area 51 was mentioned briefly by name in a nationwide 2-hour FOX TV Special entitled: UFO Cover-up Live.
Then in 1989, with the arrival of Bob Lazar , Area 51 became the 'de-facto' Alien Base story to the believers. The rest is history, as everyone knows.
However, a strange rumor started in 1997 (that resulted from a misinformed article that appeared on POPULAR MECHANICS magazine) that Area 51 had closed its doors and had moved to Utah. Astonishingly, this rumor still seems to be believed by some folks.
Contrary to that unfounded rumor, Area 51 had never moved its operations elsewhere. In fact, today it even seems to be expanding. It is definitely alive and well!
And it seems to go hand in hand (probably in a working relationship) with the newly designated Nevada National Security Site (N2S2), the former Nevada Test Site, Area 51's next-door neighbor and a growing testing range designated for such things as anti-terrorist weapons programs.
Today Area 51 is a sprawling complex that almost resembles a small city with so many structures that are easily visible even with just a decent set of binoculars from atop Tikaboo Peak, 26 miles away.
It is estimated that as of 2012, anywhere from 1800 to 2200 employees continue to work at the growing base in diverse, highly compartmentalized programs conducted by at least a dozen defense contractors. Yes, this is the reality.
However, at the same time, Area 51 has solidly (and conveniently, for the government) entrenched itself in the sub-culture that includes a segment of the population's die-hard belief in UFOs and Aliens. Thus a convenient "laughter curtain" has been created to "muddy the waters" of what 'reality' may be to some conspiracy-oriented folks. It has become a quasi religious belief to many in the so-called "UFO subculture".
Yes, it has become a social, cultural and psychological phenomenon, far removed (some say) from reality but much needed for some folks who may feel the urge to believe in something (i.e., "aliens" who are working with our government secretly in places like Area 51, will soon reveal themselves to us and help us solve all these human problems), especially in these troubling, uncertain age of global economic, social and political crises.
To the mainstream, it may seem quite amazing that there are still some folks that actually believe that somehow the base is connected with Alien Technology!!
(Of course, some may rightfully say that ultimately we do not know for sure, since there is no proof to support that belief nor is there proof that such a thing is not there).
By the way, here is a tune that I composed back in 2005 while I was pondering at home about Area 51. It was just a couple of month away then from the 50th Anniversary of Area 51. I had an unforgettable experience of performing this music at a public gathering celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the base. The event was held next to the perimeters of Area 51 in May of 2005 under the watchful eyes of base security. Enjoy:

It seems that the government does not even officially use AFFTC-DET 3 as a designation for the area. (Air Force Flight Test Center Detachment 3, allegedly a managerial umbrella of Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California).
(The exception was when a Security Manual for security personnel was printed in the late 1980s. They did use the desgination DET-3, alluding to the AFFTC).
It was around 1987 when rumors slowly began to circulate among some researchers that the base (among other projects such as hyper-sonic spy planes) may have been test-flying a recovered spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin!!
In 1988 Area 51 was mentioned briefly by name in a nationwide 2-hour FOX TV Special entitled: UFO Cover-up Live.
Then in 1989, with the arrival of Bob Lazar , Area 51 became the 'de-facto' Alien Base story to the believers. The rest is history, as everyone knows.
However, a strange rumor started in 1997 (that resulted from a misinformed article that appeared on POPULAR MECHANICS magazine) that Area 51 had closed its doors and had moved to Utah. Astonishingly, this rumor still seems to be believed by some folks.
Contrary to that unfounded rumor, Area 51 had never moved its operations elsewhere. In fact, today it even seems to be expanding. It is definitely alive and well!
And it seems to go hand in hand (probably in a working relationship) with the newly designated Nevada National Security Site (N2S2), the former Nevada Test Site, Area 51's next-door neighbor and a growing testing range designated for such things as anti-terrorist weapons programs.
Today Area 51 is a sprawling complex that almost resembles a small city with so many structures that are easily visible even with just a decent set of binoculars from atop Tikaboo Peak, 26 miles away.
It is estimated that as of 2012, anywhere from 1800 to 2200 employees continue to work at the growing base in diverse, highly compartmentalized programs conducted by at least a dozen defense contractors. Yes, this is the reality.
However, at the same time, Area 51 has solidly (and conveniently, for the government) entrenched itself in the sub-culture that includes a segment of the population's die-hard belief in UFOs and Aliens. Thus a convenient "laughter curtain" has been created to "muddy the waters" of what 'reality' may be to some conspiracy-oriented folks. It has become a quasi religious belief to many in the so-called "UFO subculture".
Yes, it has become a social, cultural and psychological phenomenon, far removed (some say) from reality but much needed for some folks who may feel the urge to believe in something (i.e., "aliens" who are working with our government secretly in places like Area 51, will soon reveal themselves to us and help us solve all these human problems), especially in these troubling, uncertain age of global economic, social and political crises.
To the mainstream, it may seem quite amazing that there are still some folks that actually believe that somehow the base is connected with Alien Technology!!
(Of course, some may rightfully say that ultimately we do not know for sure, since there is no proof to support that belief nor is there proof that such a thing is not there).
By the way, here is a tune that I composed back in 2005 while I was pondering at home about Area 51. It was just a couple of month away then from the 50th Anniversary of Area 51. I had an unforgettable experience of performing this music at a public gathering celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the base. The event was held next to the perimeters of Area 51 in May of 2005 under the watchful eyes of base security. Enjoy:
