THE GALILEO SYNDROME

Having now revealed his entire message, Bauval felt free to comment on the extraordinary resistance to these ideas by the establishment archaeologists and Egyptologists, who refuse to even consider the star theory and who have even been accused of suppressing some important new discoveries. He said, “There are a few of us who are trying to maintain the tempo, and what we’re finding is the quintessential adversarial situation. There is enormous resistance. We’re dealing with something that is giving us a cosmic address, a cosmic time, and it’s screaming a message out loud. It’s plain to read, but we won’t accept it. And we feel uncomfortable with something that we shouldn’t feel uncomfortable with. We live in a cosmic environment that cries out for us to consider an outer space explanation. This planet may very well have been visited. So we may look like a bunch of fools now. But if we don’t speak up, in two or three generations time they’ll say, ‘Well, the evidence was staring them in the face. They had these big things there. They were obviously astronomical. There was obviously something to investigate, and these idiots have concluded that they were tombs!’ . . . If there is any faint possibility that these people knew something that we don’t know about our origins, let alone immortality, then we should pursue it, whatever the uncomfortable feeling we have. I can tell you that I am speaking far more openly now than I would have two years ago. But we’re dealing with something of a scale and magnitude that has to be taken with the utmost seriousness.”

AN INVISIBLE HAND

The conventional view of the outbreak of World War II is one in which Germany and Japan just happened to emerge as fascist military superpowers at the same time and decided to join forces and take over the entire world! In this view, it was accidental that Japan would build an imperial fleet and become an invincible naval power, and that Germany would simultaneously develop a fearsome
blitzkrieg
(lightning war) capability using coordinated air and ground forces. Even at face value, this hypothesis is patently absurd. Such grand historical coincidences rarely occur and almost always turn out to be the result of meticulous, long-range planning, and that is almost certainly the case with World War II.

As we investigate the circumstances of Hitler’s rise to power and the sudden, coordinated emergence of militant fascism all over the world, the roots of World War II take on an entirely new complexion. Very obviously, it was decided well in advance at some very high level that Japan would take over all of Asia and Australia, and Germany and Italy would divide up Europe, Russia, and North and South America. Spain, South Africa, and Argentina were already fascist dictatorships and therefore automatically part of the alliance. This division of effort made perfect sense since domination of Asia required control over vast areas of the Pacific Ocean that only superior naval forces could handle, while the conquest of the massive continental areas of Europe, Russia, and the Americas would necessitate control of the air and huge, highly mechanized, fast-moving armies.

Clearly, there was an invisible hand behind all of this, and there is now mounting evidence that it wasn’t an earthly hand. Cumulative torrents of information now emerging from insiders are revealing that Planet Earth is a battleground between extraterrestrial forces, that we are truly right in the middle of real star wars. For a long time, while we struggled with swords and bows and arrows and man-powered naval vessels, the ETs didn’t pay much attention to us. But now we have become a player on the cosmic stage. It appears that, with the advent of World War II, we have become knowing, active participants in an ongoing galactic conflict.

“HE WILL DANCE”

After World War I, at the end of 1919, ex-corporal Adolf Hitler met Dietrich Eckart in Munich. Eckart was a sophisticated and wealthy publisher and was editor in chief of an anti-Semitic publication called
In Plain German.
He was also an occultist in the highest circle of the Thule Society, an esoteric group founded in Germany in 1918. In his early days, he had been a student of Russian metaphysician G. I. Gurdjieff, and later he became a disciple of Aleister Crowley. Because of his admiration for Eckart, Hitler joined the society. The Thule Society held regular sêances during which the attendees reportedly communicated with demons and attempted to invoke the Antichrist.

During one such session, Eckart believed that he was told by his spirit guide that he would have the honor of training the coming Great One—the incarnation of the Antichrist. He soon became convinced that Hitler was the chosen one, and he took him under his wing. According to Wulf Schwartzwaller in
The Unknown Hitler: His Private Life and Fortune,
“There can be no doubt that Eckart . . . trained Hitler in techniques of self confidence, self projection, persuasive oratory, body language and discursive sophistry.” Using these capabilities, Hitler became a powerful speaker, able to mesmerize and excite vast audiences. He learned to start his speeches softly and then build to a peak of pretended, frenzied fervor accompanied by animated gesticulations. He also developed a hypnotic power over individuals. Eckart also passed on to Hitler all of his occult knowledge of ritual and sexual black magic. According to Trevor Ravenscroft in
The Spear of Destiny,
regarding the practices of the Thule Society, “Indulgence in the most sadistic rituals awakened penetrating vision into the workings of Evil Intelligences and bestowed phenomenal magical powers.”

Dietrich Eckart

At the completion of this training, Hitler claimed to be “born anew,” filled with new strength and the resolve he would need to carry out his “mandate.” Eckart died three years later in 1923 and reportedly said on his deathbed, “Follow Hitler. He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the ‘Secret Doctrine;’ opened his centres of vision and given him the means to communicate with the Powers. Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced history more than any German.” The following year, Hitler dedicated the second volume of his book,
Mein Kampf
(
My Struggle
), to Eckart. Eckart’s claim that he had given to Hitler “the means to communicate with the Powers” has been interpreted to mean that Hitler could now solicit advice from those same entities that Aleister Crowley referred to as the “Secret Chiefs,” since Eckart was basically a disciple of Crowley. Crowley, who was sometimes referred to as the “Great Beast,” was the head of the infamous occult organization the Order of the Golden Dawn, in London.

In late 1919, the Thule Society became more political and was instrumental in starting the German Workers’ Party under the leadership of Thulist Karl Harrer. In 1920, this evolved into the National Socialist German Workers Party, or NSDAP, commonly known as the Nazi Party, drawing its membership from the top echelons of the Thule Society, including Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Alfred Rosenberg, and Adolf Hitler. In
The Gods of Eden,
William Bramley says, “The Thule was a ‘Society of Assassins.’ It held secret courts and condemned people to death. It is likely that many victims murdered by the District Command had been condemned earlier in the secret courts of the Thule.” The conception of the swastika flag adopted by the Nazis is attributed to Dr. Freidrich Krohn, a member of the Thule Society. Thus, according to the Crystalinks website (
www.crystalinks.com
), “with the victory of the Nazi Party, the occult tradition was carried on in the Third Reich.”

A “GREEN DRAGON” MENTOR

But Hitler’s occult training was not yet complete. After the death of Eckart, as if on a schedule, another, even more powerful teacher came into his life. Karl Haushofer was a fifty-four-year-old professor of political science at Munich University when Hitler entered jail in 1924. While with German intelligence in Japan before the war, Haushofer had been initiated into the ultrasecret Green Dragon Society, one of only three Europeans to have ever been granted that honor. There he was taught how to develop the mastery of the etheric body, sometimes called the Time Organism because the etheric realm is outside of time-space. Consequently etheric mastery allows one to be free of the limitations of time. This training apparently gave him precognitive powers, and he was able to predict the dates and exact times of enemy attacks, the number of casualties, and bombardment patterns while a general during the war. We now know this practice as remote viewing. Consequently, Haushofer emerged with an illustrious war record and became well known throughout Germany.

It was only very reluctantly that Haushofer agreed to attend the treason trial of a rabble-rousing, brawling street politician named Adolf Hitler in 1923. He finally consented, after much persuasion by a student at the university, Rudolph Hess. Though disinterested at first, by the time Hitler delivered his final oration in court, Haushofer, like Eckart, was convinced that he had found the savior of the German people that he had been seeking. Haushofer subsequently visited Hitler frequently in his plush cell at the Landsberg Fortress in 1924 with books and papers under his arm and helped him write what became the bible of the Nazi movement,
Mein Kampf,
virtually dictating long passages about geopolitics and Germany’s destiny.

Haushofer’s domination of the entire philosophical basis of the Nazi movement was solidified when he founded the Luminous Lodge, or Vril Society, in Berlin in the 1920s. This eventually became the inner circle of the Thule Society and reportedly attracted members from other occult movements in Europe, as well as from Tibet, Japan, India, Kashmir, Turkey, and Ceylon. The society took its inspiration from the book
The Coming Race
(William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London, 1871) by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a story about an underground utopian civilization where the inhabitants flew around in silent, wingless vehicles, powered by a force called vril—hence the name of the society.

Haushofer knew a great deal about life on Atlantis, almost as though through personal memory. He taught Hitler that the Aryan race was genetically developed by the “gods” of Atlantis in preparation for the coming disaster to be a new “master race” afterward. He claimed that the Aryans were given higher consciousness and the faculty of logical thought, instead of just supermemory as with the preceding sub-races on Atlantis. He convinced Hitler that the “pure” Germans were descended from this civilization from Ultima Thule, sometimes called Hyperborea, and were meant to be the nucleus of the new master race.

Haushofer believed that this race of Aryan supermen survived the Atlantean upheavals and still existed somewhere underground in Tibet or the Gobi Desert, and he convinced Hitler to try to make contact with them. From 1926 to 1942, Haushofer organized annual German expeditions to Tibet. He apparently succeeded in making contact with an underground civilization in Tibet known in occult literature as Shamballa (or variously as Shambhala) sometime in the early thirties. It is known that Haushofer met some monks from this underground city and enlisted them in the Nazi cause. Some literature on this subject describes the monks as “adepts of the dark side.” They came to Berlin and set up a community. They were later joined by members of the Green Dragon Society from Japan, at the invitation of Haushofer.

HITLER MEETS “THE SUPERMAN”

In the secret meetings of the Vril Society attended by Haushofer, Hitler, and the key members of the Thule Society, a medium by the name of Maria Orsic began to get psychic transmissions in an unknown language, which they were eventually able to decipher. As the transmissions continued, it was determined that the messages were coming from two planets in the Aldebaran system that formed the Sumeran Empire. Aldebaran is a huge star in the Taurus constellation, thousands of times larger than our own sun, about sixty-five light-years from Earth. The information channeled by Orsic claimed that the Sumeran Empire consisted of an Aryan or master race and a subservient slave race, and that the Aryans colonized our solar system five hundred million years ago when the Aldebaran system became uninhabitable. When they eventually reached Earth, they founded the Sumerian civilization. According to Peter Moon in
The Black Sun: Montauk’s Nazi-Tibetan Connection,
“As they continued to study the transmissions, the Vril Society discovered that the ancient Sumerian language . . . was identical to that of the Aldebarans and that it was also similar to the German language.”

Whether someone materialized in the flesh in the inner sanctum of the Vril Society or met with the Nazi leaders in the underground city through the mediation of the Tibetan monks, there is no doubt that Hitler, at least, met with the
ubermensch
or “superman.” In a conversation with Hermann Rauschning, the governor of the Free City of Danzig, about the possibility of creating a new, advanced species of human through breeding, Hitler said, as reported by Rauschning in his book
Hitler Speaks
, “‘The new man is living amongst us now! He is here!’ exclaimed Hitler, triumphantly. ‘Isn’t that enough for you? I will tell you a secret. I have seen the new man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him.’” Samuel Mathers, the founder of the Golden Dawn, had a similar encounter. In a manifesto to the members in 1896, he wrote, “As to the Secret Chiefs with whom I am in touch and from whom I have received the wisdom of the Second Order . . . they used to meet me physically at a time and place fixed in advance. For my part, I believe they are human beings living on this Earth, but possessed of terrible and superhuman powers . . . I felt I was in contact with a force so terrible that I can only compare it to the shock one would receive from being near a flash of lightning during a great thunderstorm.”
