Exciting news from Greg Taylor of The Daily Grail – a new edition of Jacques Vallee’s 1979 classic of paranoid ufology, Messengers of Deception. This re-issue has been lightly revised by the good Dr Vallee and is part of a series of classic fortean reprints planned by Greg.
The picture shows ‘John Shepherd, who has established this UFO-detecting station in his grandparent’s home… His equipment includes radar, sonar, scanners, and homing devices which attempt to track the “Aliens” he believes are studying the earth.’
MOD is a fascinating examination of the UFO subculture’s sinister underbelly. Vallee considers the ways that the UFO mystery can be manipulated by those seeking to exert psychological and psychosocial control over marginal elements of society, and falls prey himself to the kind of controlled paranoia experienced by Robert Anton Wilson in his own Cosmic Trigger. Thirty years down the line we can see that Vallee was absolutely spot on with some of the concerns he expressed in MOD: amongst the groups he investigated were Bo and Peep, the ‘Mysterious Two’ who went on to lead the Heaven’s Gate suicides two decades later.
Messengers of Deception and the work of Dr Vallee have had a profound influence on my own ufological explorations, and I’m sure this will be evident in the forthcoming Mirage Men. I’m also very happy to announce that late 2009 should see the publication of Prodigies, a new book by Dr Vallee and Chris Aubeck from Strange Attractor Press.
More on that in due course, but for the time being you can buy Messengers of Deception here.
if you read and study the ufo problem for many years as i have there is only one course to follow. The absolute certainty that it is one of the strangest subjects known. Whatever they are they are certainly experts at psychological warfare and understand our stupid self interests and ignorances much better than we do. Look at 100 years ago and our understanding of sciences then its such a huge gap and to inform someone back then of what we have acomplished now and you would have been met with absolute disbelief. My point is that what if we had something that was important to another species that we didn,t know we had? An energy source to other races that are far removed from our understanding of physical reality. Then we would be victims and if it were true we would also be perpetuating it through our own stupidity and ignorance as a race. If you had seen these things and interacted with the phenomenon as i have then who could you tell? No one, you would just watch your fellow humans become slaves and nothing more than ignorant trousered apes.
We do have something they want, it’s our emotional energy, of the negative kind. Fear, hatred, confusion and despair are their food. The bigger the population the greater the amount of energy food for their downward spiral evolution.
They were never physical.
They exist as a parasite does. Hidden by the limitation of our ‘consciousness’. Feed the fear, feed the hate…. feed the entity. The alien routine is a masquerade they play. It works.
No hate. No fear.
Feelings of love and kindness disgusts them. Now that’s a battle plan.
