“Dahl’s boss, FRED L. CRISMAN (he also owned the boat), became a central figure in the mystery. DAHL HIMSELF VANISHED SOON AFTER HIS INTERVIEW WITH ARNOLD, and the efforts by later investigators (such as Harold T. Wilkins, a British author) have failed to locate him. Crisman had been A FLIER IN WORLD WAR II, and he was suddenly RECALLED into the service in 1947, FLOWN TO ALASKA, and later stationed in Greenland. In recent years amateur sleuths engaged in investigating the alleged conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy have tried to implicate CRISMAN.
District Attorney JAMES GARRISON of New Orleans subpoenaed one FRED LEE CRISMAN of TACOMA, WASHINGTON, to testify before the Grand Jury listening to Garrison’s evidence against Clay Shaw (Jim Garrison was portrayed by Kevin Costner in the popular motion picture “JFK” – Branton), according to wire service stories in November 1968. Crisman was identified as a radio announcer, but Garrison’s investigations implied that HE WAS EITHER A MEMBER OF THE CIA OR HAD BEEN ‘ENGAGED IN UNDERCOVER ACTIVITY FOR A PART OF THE INDUSTRIAL WARFARE COMPLEX.’
He allegedly operated under a cover as a preacher and was ‘engaged in work to help Gypsies.’ These stories caused a chain reaction in UFO circles since UFO believers have long accused the CIA of being somehow connected with the flying saucer mystery. Of course, the CIA was in its infancy in 1947 at the time of the Maury Island case and was then largely staffed by NAVAL personnel from World War II intelligence units.
“Clay Shaw was tried early in 1969, accused by Garrison of having conspired to murder President Kennedy. He was found innocent and freed. The exact nature of Crisman’s testimony before the Grand Jury IS NOT KNOWN. He did not testify at the actual trial…“The Maury Island case fell apart in Arnold’s hands.
The slag samples given to him by Dahl and Crisman WERE SWITCHED BY SOMEONE; two investigating Air Force officers, Brown and Davidson, WERE KILLED WHEN THEIR PLANE CRASHED shortly after leaving Tacoma; DAHL VANISHED; Crisman was literally exiled to Greenland for two years;
Tacoma newsman Paul Lance, who helped Arnold in his investigation, DIED SUDDENLY A SHORT TIME LATER. Palmer claims that a cigar box filled with original slag samples WAS STOLEN from his Chicago office soon afterward.
“At one point Ted Morello of the United Press took Arnold aside and told him:
“‘ You’re involved in something that is beyond our power here to find out anything about… We tried to find out information at McChord Field (the Tacoma Air Force base) and drew a blank, and we have informants there who practically smell the runaways for news… We’ve exhausted every avenue attempting to piece what has happened together so it makes some sense… I’m just going to give you some sound advice. Get out of this town until whatever it is blows over.’ “Arnold got into his private plane and headed for home. He stopped in Pendleton, Oregon, to refuel, and shortly after he took off again, HIS ENGINE STOPPED COLD. Only quick thinking and expert flying saved him from a serious crash…”
Yet another apparent ‘casualty‘ of what appears to be cosmic warfare between Man-kind and certain ‘Draconian‘ forces of darkness, was described in a letter addressed to SEARCH Magazine, which appeared in it’s September 1960 issue:
“Dear Rap (i.e. Raymond A. Palmer):
“I have been following your pursuits of UFO(s)… through your magazines for some time with consuming interest, especially the Shaver Mystery. There’s an item or two concerning this that I have been intending to write to you for some time. Sometimes during the year about 1946 to 1947, I heard that Dr. William Beebee wrote an article published in the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ in which he made a remark about ‘the coming invasion of the earth by the underground race.’ When I remarked on this to a fellow worker of mine he said ‘Isn’t he the scientist-oceanographer who disappeared?’
I was startled by his sudden question and said that I didn’t know, and asked if he knew anything of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. He said he understood or heard that on one of Dr. Beebee’s descents to the ocean floor OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA, he was missing from the inside of the diving bell when it was brought up! Do you have anything on this?
I had been wanting to look for some corroboration of this to see if it could be true or if the present whereabouts of William Beebee is known. Then I am reminded of the disappearance of another prominent person, the world traveler, and explorer Richard Halliburton. I am sure I read only a few years ago that he was presumed to be lost at Sea in a storm….”
The number of ‘casualties‘ keep pouring in…
In his book ‘THE UNDERPEOPLE’ (1969. Award Books., N.Y.), author Eric Norman relates an interesting account of a ‘disappearance‘ of another sort, involving the possible fate of the Inca Indians of South America. In chapter 2 — ‘Strange Caverns and Terrifying Tunnels‘, he relates:
“Conquest in South America (involved) natives hacked to death by Spanish swords, arrogant priests absolving Conquistadors for their murderous atrocities, sharp Toledo steel lances running through children and, pervading it all, a dark lust for native gold.
“In the autumn of 1582, Francisco Pizarro hid his 168 Spanish horse soldiers behind the doorways and walls of the Incan town of Cajamarca. Atahualpa, the absolute emperor of the sun-worshipping Inca’s empire, had agreed to meet Pizarro in the village plaza. Atahualpa’s procession entered the village with a flair of pageantry. Incan warriors and the emperor’s litter bearers were dressed in the finest cloth.
The Royal Guard was armed with spiked helmets, feathered war clubs, poison-tipped lances, and dazzling gold-inlaid swords. Thick gold bracelets encircled their bronze wrists and rich silver discs dangled from their pierced ear lobes.
“Pizarro and his Conquistadors remained hidden behind their guns and cannons as Atahualpa and his entourage entered the main plaza. ‘It is like leading hogs to the killing pen,’ Pizarro sneered. The bandy-legged Spaniard knew hogs; prior to his service for Spain’s king, Pizarro had been a swineherd in the province of Estremadura. He lived by a harsh personal code that equated kindness with weakness; deceit was the trick of a clever man and lying, duplicity and thievery were proper.
“Atahualpa’s group stirred nervously when they found no sign of the visitors to their land. Spanish fingers twitched on gun triggers and a hawk-faced soldier stood ready to torch the cannon. Suddenly, a solitary figure left a building and walked into the plaza. He was dressed in the faded robe of a Dominican (Roman Catholic) friar. His bald head glistened contemptuously toward the Incan emperor.
“Friar Vincente Valverde announced that all of South America now belonged to the king of Spain. He stared coldly at the emperor and snapped, ‘The Papal Bull of 1493 provides this right…’
“Proud and regal, Atahualpa glared at the haughty friar before him. ‘Your POPE must be CRAZY to give away land that does not belong to him,’ he said…
“The friar was stunned momentarily, then he turned and ran toward the safety of a building, shouting: ‘Pizarro, attack, attack! Kill all of them! I will absolve you!’
“With hoarse cries of ‘Santiago!’, the Spaniards slaughtered the unsuspecting Inca warriors.
In a few minutes, the battle was over; the emperor’s royal guard was dead, or dying, in the bloodstained dust of the plaza and Atahualpa was a prisoner of Pizarro. Greedy Spanish hands ripped the emerald necklace from his body. A wild gleam entered Pizarro’s eyes when the emperor handed over his exquisitely carved bracelets of thick gold.
“‘I want my freedom,’ Atahualpa informed Pizarro. ‘I will fill this room with gold for ransom.’ The room was 17 feet wide and 22 feet long! The emperor’s subjects delivered $8,443,456 in gold to Pizarro and, afterward, Pizarro and Friar Vincente Valverde condemned Atahualpa to be burned alive at the stake.
“While the Spaniards were burning the emperor, a pack train of 11,000 llamas was headed toward the Spanish encampment. Each beast was burdened by a heavy load of gold. Native messengers brought news of the Inca king’s death — and the fantastic caravan disappeared! During the past centuries, thousands of gold-greedy adventurers have searched for the ‘loot of the 11,000 llamas.’ None has discovered a single clue to the treasure’s site.
“Believers in the Under-People theory are firm in their contention that the Incan llamas disappeared into a gigantic tunnel that led to the inner earth kingdoms. ‘Even the population figures show that these conquered people outwitted their bestial conquerors,’ according to one South American researcher. ‘Incan census figures reveal that there were 10,000,000 subjects when the Spaniards arrived. Forty years later, in 1571, the Spaniards took a census. There were approximately 1,000,000 Indians. I admit that the Spanish method of slave labor took a tremendous toll. But could 9,000,000 Incas have died in Spanish mines?'”
Eric Norman relates the words of one correspondent who described the ancient subterranean tunnels, pre-dating the Incan Empire itself, that was believed by many to exist beneath the Andes:
“‘…at first I scoffed at such stories about mysterious tunnels and an alien civilization beneath the surface… I joined an inner earth group for the simple enjoyment of discussing outlandish ideas in a humorless, serious manner. Gradually, I became interested in the considerable volume of circumstantial evidence. I now believe the earth is absolutely honeycombed by a web of tunnels that run beneath the continents, under the oceans, and these passageways link the subterranean cities of the inner world.
“‘…There are many reports concerning a vast tunnel called the ‘Roadway of the Incas’ which has an entrance somewhere in Peru. It runs south more than a thousand miles. There is another entrance to this fabulous tunnel in the Desert of the Atacama in Chile. The ‘Highway of the Incas‘ passes under Cuzco, the legendary city of Peru. There is another, smaller, but very well hidden entrance to the tunnel in the mountains near Machu Picchu, which is the capital city of the first and last Inca emperor. It is called ‘The Lost City of the Incas‘ and was not discovered until 1911 by an American, Hiram Bringham. It is considered the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World… everything at Machu Picchu is in excellent preservation.’
“His mention of the ‘Highway of the Incas‘,” Eric Norman continues, “strikes a familiar note…
A physician in Argentina has devoted his spare time to an investigation of this legendary intercontinental tunnel of the Under-People.
