THE SECRETS OF THE MOJAVE

(Or, The Conspiracy Against Reality)

In 1946, after years of private investigation and secrecy, Russell decided to exploit the find. After gathering a group of potential investors he held a meeting in which he displayed some of the artifacts which he had taken out of the underground system. Mr. Hill was invited to the meeting provided that he could help out as an investor. He accepted the invitation and attended the meeting.

The company was called ‘Amazing Explorations‘, and the ‘Investors‘ meeting took place at a suite in Beverly Hills, although all of the investors were sworn to absolute secrecy. Hill and the rest of the investors were taken, after this meeting concluded, to the underground complex itself, to where Russell returned the artifacts which he had displayed to the investors as he was convinced that the protected atmosphere of the caves would preserve them.

The group was taken into the cavern in which the ‘bones‘ and the ‘temple‘ were located. According to witnesses, it was “chock full of bizarre artifacts of all kinds.” Russell told them that they could look but not touch, as he realized the necessity of preserving such a find in its original condition, both for archaeological as well as monetary reasons.

On August 4, 1947, Howard Hill, acting as spokesman for ‘Amazing Explorations‘, issued a brief statement to the press announcing the discovery. The story received minimal coverage, to his surprise, and only appeared in a few newspapers in which the story was ‘balanced‘ with very derogatory and skeptical statements from the ‘scientific‘ community.

After this, a live press conference was planned, in which Russell planned to display a skeleton and/or several artifacts that would “convince even the most skeptical reporter.”

And from that, they could discover for themselves the reliability of the find. For this, Russell had to return once again to the caves to retrieve the necessary artifacts. He also planned before leaving or shortly after his return to open a bank account at Barstow bank to deposit investment capital. Russell left for Death Valley but was never seen again. His CAR was later discovered with a busted radiator in a seldom traveled part of Death Valley. Although some suspect that he left with the money of the investors, this is unlikely since the investors’ money which he possessed at the time was not nearly enough to warrant his disappearance, or the discontinuance of plans to commercialize the site as one of the wonders of the world, and the potential wealth that this might bring.

The investors attempted to re-locate the underground chambers that Russell had shown them but claimed that they could not remember the exact route since they did not pay much attention to landmarks on the first trip, and besides this, the shifting sunlight and shadows and the uniformity of the vast landscape made that difficult. So ended the brief but interesting events surrounding what might have turned out to be one of the most popular wonders of the world, a ‘potential‘ Federally-protected museum invaluable to archeologists, anthropologists and historians alike, as well as millions of potential tourists.

In spite of the corroborating “circumstantial” evidence for the existence of these ancient ruins, this “world” (or perhaps its present for former inhabitants?) seems to continually resist all efforts of us “outsiders” to probe its secrets in any dramatic way, at least (perhaps) until its “protectors” feel that we are ready to discover these historical treasures. Perhaps the “greed” that such treasures often arouse in human hearts is in itself the very force that prevents their acquisition. Perhaps when we set our hearts to search for Truth — not for our own personal greed or profit, but for the benefit of all humanity — perhaps only then will the TRUTH make itself available to those who are “ready” to receive it.

The following letter was sent to researcher Tim Beckley, and confirms much of the information which has been ‘surfacing‘ in recent years:

“…I enjoy your magazine very much. Thank you for such a fine publication. I have seen UFOs, and it seems after you have seen one you’re never the same. I separated from the U.S. Air Force in December of 1987. In the Air Force, I was a ‘Security Specialist.’ It was my duty to safeguard Top Secret aircraft, weapons, and equipment. I also guarded nuclear warheads. I was stationed at David-Monthan A.F.B. in Tucson, Arizona. In January of 1987, I was training in the desert for a Desert Survival Course.

This area is between Indian Springs, Nevada and Las Vegas, Nevada. It is known as Silver Flag Alpha. There is a huge mountain range and on the other side of this range lies the ‘Area 52‘, also known as ‘Dreamland.’ “I asked an instructor what would happen if somebody went over the ridge. he said, ‘No one can make it over that ridge,’ and then gave me a foxes grin. One night about 0300 hours I was sitting in my foxhole gazing at the stars when a white light rose over the ridge. It performed two vertical loops then shot up into the sky at a speed you would not believe. Also, it didn’t make any noise.

“After separating from the Air Force I stayed in Tucson for 19 months. During this time my best Air Force buddy received orders for ‘Area 52.’ I told him to stay in touch. He called one day and told me he DIDN’T LIKE the assignment. I asked him about ‘Area 52‘ and he said he wasn’t at liberty to discuss it. He did say he was stationed at Nellis A.F.B. Nevada and forced to live off base. He said an Air Force vehicle would pick him up and transfer him to ‘Area 52‘ where he would spend 48 hours in an underground complex. After 48 hours he was then returned to his apartment for 48 hours off time. I asked him what kind of things he had seen. He only said don’t be surprised if one day we are living in space. After this, we talked about normal guy stuff. I never have heard from him since, which is PECULIAR. I wonder if the Air Force had his apartment phone tapped? – Steve Blankenship – Somerset, TX.”

The January 1957 issue of FATE magazine, p. 10, carried an account of the following strange discovery:

“Dear Douglas, Ga., in Coffee County, workmen of the Head Well and Pump Company was drilling a 145-foot deep hole on the property of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Meeks, seven miles from Douglas. They stopped drilling when an unusual noise began to come out of the hole. “It was a roaring sound, SOMETHING LIKE AN UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. As soon as they heard it, the drillers stopped. Driller Scott Dinking said he never heard anything like it before — not in 27 years in the business.

“Joe Sports of the Associated Press went out to look at the hole. He found it was making so much noise that the Meeks had covered it partially by a plank because it kept them awake at night.

“Sports noticed that AIR WAS BEING PULLED INTO THE HOLE BY A KIND OF SUCTION. He lighted a match atop the hole — the smoke was drawn downward. Sports borrowed a mirror and reflected light so he could see the bottom. He saw water down there. It all ‘looked’ quite and peaceful.”

The following passages are quoted from the Greek philosopher Seneca’s classic ten-volume NATURALES QUAESTIONES (QUESTIONS OF NATURE), Vol. II, pp. 99-105, 151-157 (English translation by Thomas H. Cocoran, PH.D., Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass., & William Heinmann Ltd., London. 1972). Seneca begins by postulating that:

“…rivers are no less existent under the earth merely because they are not seen. You must understand that down their rivers as large as our own glide along, some flowing gently, others resounding in their tumbling over the broken ground. What then? Will you not equally allow that there are some lakes underground and some waters stagnating there without exit? “…Throughout the entire earth, one of them says, runs many different kinds of water. In some places, there are perpetual rivers large enough to be navigable, even without the help of rains.

“…Moving air in the lower region inside the earth bursts the atmosphere, which is thick and complete with clouds, with the same force that clouds in our part of the world are usually broken open.

“…Now permit me to tell you a story. Asclepiodotus is my authority that many men were sent down by Philip (i.e. Philip II of Macedon, 382-336 B.C., the father of Alexander the Great who according to Diodorus opened several new mines – ed) into an old mine, long since abandoned, to find out what riches it might have, what its condition was, whether ancient avarice had left anything for future generations. They descended with a large supply of torches, enough to last many days. After a while, when they were exhausted by the long journey, they (after breaking into vast cavities – ed) saw a sight that made them shudder: huge rivers and vast reservoirs of motionless water, equal to ours above ground and yet not pressed down by the earth stretching above, but with a vast free space overhead.

“I read this story with great enjoyment. For I realized that our age suffers not from new vices but from vices that have been handed down all the way from antiquity, and it is not our age that avarice first pried into the veins of earth and rock searching for treasure poorly hidden in the darkness.

“…Even before King Philip of Macedon there were men who followed after money down into the deepest hiding-places and, of upright and freeborn spirit as they were, let themselves down into those caverns where no difference between night and day reaches.

“…What powerful necessity bent men down, man ordinarily erect to the stars, and buried him to the bottom of the innermost earth so that he might dig out gold, no less dangerous to search for than it is to possess? On account of this, he dug shafts and crawled around the mud-smeared, uncertain booty, forgetful of day, forgetful of the better nature of things from which he had turned himself away.

“…They dared to descend to a place where they found a strange order of things, layers of earth hanging overhead, dead winds in the darkness, dreadful springs of water flowing for no man, and night other than our own, and perpetual. Then, after doing these things, they fear the Underworld!”

The following appears on p. 169 of Daniel Cohen’s book ‘THE ANCIENT VISITORS’ (Doubleday & Co., N.Y. 1976):

“…For centuries hell was a very real and tangible place found somewhere underground. The ‘entrance to hell‘ has been located countless times. Usually, it was found in the country of one’s enemy. “There were serious and scholarly speculations about huge underground caves.

One seventeenth-century scholar said that dragons lived in underground caves, and that is why we saw so few of them. Siberian tribesmen who found the frozen remains of woolly mammoths assumed that they were the remains of creatures that lived in a subterranean world. The Siberians could not conceive of extinct animals that had lived thousands of years ago, but vast underground worlds came quite naturally to them. According to legend, dwarfs lived in underground caves, and most accounts placed the realm of fairies under the earth as well.”

In reference to the ‘caverns of hell‘ or ‘hades‘, this belief predates Christianity itself and can be traced back to ancient Greece. The Greeks spoke of ‘Hades‘ as a vast series of deep caverns, some containing frozen conditions while others filled with smoking flames. The real tormentors of hades, however, were the fallen angels of ancient tradition, who are said to torment all souls that enter here. Also traditionally, over the entrance to Hades can be read the words “ABANDON ALL HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE”.

Hades is said to be the center of the Satanic Kingdom established by the fallen archangel Lucifer after his failed coup de’etat against the throne of the Creator. It is said to contain vast fortresses created by his infernal followers over the eons, possibly created of insubstantial or etheric ‘matter’.

As one descends through the caverns of Hades, according to Greek tradition, things only become worse, until at last one reaches the realm of ‘Tartarus‘ itself. Tartarus, according to the Greeks, is “as far below Hades as Hades is beneath the earth”. It is a great “chasm” in the extreme depths that are diffused throughout the entire earth.

The Christian Bible refers to Tartarus as the ‘Bottomless Pit‘. ‘Bottomless‘ might indicate an absence of gravity and a sense of eternal ‘falling‘ for those unfortunate enough to enter therein. Apparently physical life could not possibly exist there because of the suffocating heat and darkness, and the lack of oxygen which must instantly be consumed by the volcanic flames of the terrifying realm. The Bible also adds that there is a third level to ‘Hell‘ called Gehenna, or a ‘lake’ of boiling magma or fire… a place almost too horrifying to imagine.

This certainly does not conflict with the present geological theory concerning the interior of the earth, which is said to increase in temperature as one passes the crust, the moho, the upper and lower mantle and finally the outer and inner molten core. However, there is another ‘theory‘ as to the configuration of the center of the earth, one which is steadily growing in popularity. This theory states that the earth is more like a gigantic “geode” with a hollow interior. In this case, the “hollow” would not coincide with the “bottomless” pit simply because the “inner surface” pushes outward as opposed to the inward gravitational push of the outer surface.

However, if one were standing on the inner surface they would not drift off to the center of the planet because they are attached or drawn to the inner surface, not gravitationally but through centrifugal force (the same force that one can see at work in a washing machine as the “spin” cycle pushes everything against the inner surface, leaving a “hollow” center). Several people in the past have proposed this theory, among them Edmund Halley after whom “Halley’s” comet is named; Capt. John Cleves Symmes whose writings actually inspired a government expedition to the North Pole — as the theory states that the entrances to the inner hollow exist somewhere near the north and south poles; and Cotton Mathers who was a central figure in the “Salem Witch Trials“. Also, countless science and fantasy fiction writers have used this theme in their writings, some of the more well-known authors being Edgar Rice Burroughs and Edgar Allen Poe.

If such a concavity exists, then how would the traditions of Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna fit into this new cosmography of a “Geodetic” planet? One possibility is given by Dr. Hank Krastman, who claims that he was shown an underground city below the Grand Canyon area by a blond-haired, blue-eyed “Hopi” Indian. This city was connected to its counterpart on the inner surface of the earth’s (alleged) concavity, a city of Grecian-like architecture called PALATKWAPI. In 1994 researcher B. Alan Walton sent Krastman a letter in which he posed the following questions:
