The Stargate Conspiracy (49 page)

The image it promotes of mankind is essentially negative. It is basically the same message that made Christianity such a success as a state-sanctioned religion, taking away the autonomy of the individual and halting intellectual, scientific and cultural progress for centuries. The Christian message maintained that we were all born sinners and live only by God’s grace; our only hope is the promise of post-mortem bliss, provided that we surrender to the dictates of the priesthood.

The end result is a population of willing victims, brainwashed into believing they are little better than worms, at the mercy of God or space beings, without means of salvation except through them - or, of course, their human agents. The members of the tragic cult Heaven’s Gate, who happily took poison, represent an extreme form of this mode of thought: life as a mere human on Earth is worth nothing compared to escape in a spaceship, even if you have to commit suicide to reach it.

The enormous potential of space gods or UFO cults should not be underestimated. As the ever-perceptive Jacques Vallée writes (the emphasis is his) in his
Messengers of Deception
(1979):

Others besides Vallée have realised this. Clearly, although there is no way of knowing all the details, the conspirators are creating the perfect conditions for something to happen to effectively give them control over the masses - over us. As we have seen, this could amount to the return of the ancient gods, or - much more likely — merely empty promises and cynically manufactured expectations.

The potential for population control is disturbing enough ordinarily, but taken together with the hysteria of endtimes expectation surrounding the Millennium, a truly explosive future is, we fear, guaranteed. Again, Jacques Vallée gets to the heart of the matter. In
Revelations
(1992), he writes: ‘As we reach the Millennium, the belief in the imminent arrival of extraterrestrials in our midst is a fantasy that is as powerful as any drug, as revolutionary as any delusion that marked the last millennium, as poisonous as any of the great irrational upheavals of history.’

Vallée goes on to compare this belief with the ideology of the master race that drove the Nazis to commit their worst atrocities. And in
Messengers of Deception
he lists six ‘social consequences’ of the hold of the UFO cults. These include ‘
The contactee propaganda undermines the image of human beings as masters of their own destiny’ and ‘Contactee philosophies often include belief in higher races and in totalitarian systems that would eliminate democracy
.’

Once before, a similar millennial mood was successfully harnessed in a way that changed the world: two thousand years ago, in a backwater of the Roman Empire, one man tapped into the prevailing hysterical messianic expectation and the result was Christianity. Theology and personal belief apart, the effect of this was to create generations of happy slaves who believed they came into the world as sinners and required the Church to order every detail of their lives. From that point of view at least, Christianity has been a huge success. But now it is largely losing its grip, something new, but similar, is required.

Could the early years of the twenty-first century see the emergence of a new Jesus or a new Moses to make sense of our puny, worthless lives and hand down from above a new set of commandments? Will the prophesied ‘return of the Great Initiate’ become a reality, thanks to some carefully contrived stage management? This new leader or Messiah figure will be backed by a massive politico-religious movement — a New World Order of zealots - the infrastructure of which is already in place.

Significantly, Ira Einhorn, who had a unique position as an observer of the Nine during the 1970s and who has no doubts about their reality as discarnate intelligences, warns that they are dangerous. He told us:

As we have seen, more and more people do ‘just believe’. But what they will become because of it remains to be seen. There are worrying signs. As Tom/Atum, spokesman for the Council of Nine, himself says:

There are two possible interpretations of our data. In the first scenario the people behind the orchestration believe that contact with some alien intelligence - the gods of the past — is possible and they are trying to establish it. Perhaps they are searching for some physical device, a stargate, while also investigating other telepathic or psychic means of communication. This search would explain the frantic but secret activity in Egypt, which may be all the more intense if they are looking for a material doorway through which they believe the Nine will imminently step. This belief would also explain the conspirators’ interest in Mars and Sirius, while on the other hand ensuring that the public make the connection between Egypt and extraterrestrials as part of a ‘softening-up’ exercise to prepare us for contact.

This hypothesis depends on the nature of the gods themselves. Who are they, and why should we listen to them? As we have seen, they claim to be the Nine, the ancient Ennead of Heliopolis, each representing a different kind of sovereignty, ruling a distinct area of human life and emotion. Isis was the mother goddess, who also governed magic, and Geb was the Egyptian Jove, who ruled all fruits of the earth. Those gods are bringers of good things, and we might reasonably welcome them to our planet in the expectation of the end of heartache and destitution. But what if the Nine are a Trojan Horse - it may seem harmless enough, but how do we know what really lies in wait inside?

This suspicion also occurred to Jon Povill, when he was subcontracted by Gene Roddenberry to write the movie script of
The Nine
in 1975. According to Roddenberry’s biographer, Joel Engle, when Povill had completed the script:

The second of our two scenarios is that the arrival of the gods or ‘space brothers’ is entirely and deliberately manufactured. Real space gods may never land on Earth, but the expectation of their imminent arrival could well be an end in itself, with potentially the same benefits for those who seek to control us.

In this scenario the activity at Giza could be explained merely as an attempt to control the most magically potent place on Earth - when all eyes are turned on it, and when expectations of some great revelation are at their highest. What proof could the man and woman in the street ever have that the gods really are coming? We would have to take the authorities’ word for it, and by the time it had dawned on us that no god had landed - and probably never would - we could already have been effectively enslaved by a very terrestrial power, under the guise of ‘strong leadership’ in an alleged state of emergency.

A new religion is taking shape in the name of the Great Heliopolitan Ennead. Already, as we have seen, many obey their instructions to the letter. But in that case, the Ennead must have undergone a remarkable metamorphosis over the millennia, since it was not the custom of the Egyptian deities to give orders or commandments. One distinctive feature of the religion was that its gods did not demand to be worshipped like the later wrathful and tyrannical Yahweh. As Michael Rice points out in
Egypt’s Legacy:

Neither did the Ennead issue commandments, nor did they instigate any holy wars. The real Nine just
were.

Had the gods of ancient Egypt ever looked at the true heart of mankind, with all our flaws, they would not have seen slaves but proud sharers in an eternal divinity - not merely, as Whitley Strieber says, the ‘companions of the creator’, but each of us bearing a part of godhood ourselves, carrying the divine, creative spark. Just as the Nine gods of the Ennead represent different aspects of the One, so we are all fragments of that endless energy.

While - or perhaps because - we personally have no problem with the concept of the Egyptian gods, and, in fact, have enormous respect for that ancient religion, we have no hesitation in denouncing the Council of Nine as imposters. They are not and could never be the Nine gods of the Great Ennead because, among many other reasons, they are ignorant, divisive and show none of the true characteristics of the archetypes they are supposed to represent. But even if - suspending disbelief temporarily — they really are who they claim to be there is still, surely, a case for rejecting them: if the mighty Isis herself were to utter the same kind of pernicious nonsense as do the Nine, it would be within our rights as fully mature, thinking human beings to reject not only the message, but even the great goddess herself. Whether or not this is the only planet of choice, free will is our greatest weapon against the wiles of the insidious and subtly corrupting Nine. No one needs gods like that.

And even if - in the most unlikely scenario - the Council of Nine really are the ancient Egyptian gods, then there is yet another problem. We have no way of knowing whether their imminent return was their own idea, or whether they have been summoned by the conspirators to coincide with their own private programme of events for the future. If this is the case, then the puppetmasters of the Millennium are not only creating, then exploiting, our own expectations, but they are also exploiting the gods themselves.

Exploitation of the Ennead is not to be recommended, particularly as Set, the god of destruction who killed Osiris, is one of them. A wrathful, Yahweh-like god of the desert, he was loathed and feared, although it seems that he had his own secret cult. It is telling that while the Council of Nine - if, indeed, they are the Great Ennead - should include Set, he never appears in their channelled material. Are they saving Set up for later? Has he arrived already, hidden away in the Trojan Horse that is the Nine? Is Set
here?
And if so, what role will he play in their plans? Will he be on the side of Them - or Us? There is something sinister in the Council of Nine’s avoidance of this dark god, the ultimate archetype of destruction.

Andrija Puharich, in
The Sacred Mushroom,
wrote that Sirius was the star of the god ‘Sept’,
⁴⁶
which we found puzzling, because the ancient Egyptians deified Sirius as the
goddess
Sothis, who was linked with Isis. In other words, Sirius should be linked with the feminine, not the male, principle. But there are two authorities who do make the connection between Sirius and a male god — the Crowleyite writer Kenneth Grant and Aleister Crowley himself (who connect the star, and Sept, with Set).
⁴⁷
We find it intriguing that, to our knowledge, the only authors to do so are Crowley(ite) and Puharich, despite the complete lack of Egyptological evidence for this belief.

This is, in our view, symptomatic of a disturbing undercurrent of the new belief system. There is a suspicious lack of any emphasis on the feminine, even where, as with the Sirius connection, goddesses should be given their due. The puppetmasters of the new religion have effectively censored the feminine. Even though the Heliopolitan Ennead includes four goddesses - Tefnut, Nut, Isis and Nepthys - Tom never, to our knowledge, even refers to them, let alone encourages due reverence to them. Yet the worship of at least one of these goddesses, Isis, was a major part of the ancient Egyptian religion. How the Nine have changed over the centuries!

As our investigation proceeded, we began to realise how insidiously
male
this conspiracy is, and how its message is implicitly anti-feminine, especially as expressed in James Hurtak’s
The Keys of Enoch.
Perhaps in order to emulate the patriarchal writings of the Old Testament — and so to appeal to both fundamentalist Jews and Christians - its tone is resolutely male-centred, and if nothing else, in our opinion, it is doing the world a great disservice by continuing to propagate such a dangerous attitude. We, among many others, have come to believe that if there is any one cause of today’s ills it is the legacy of 2,000 years of orchestrated repression of women and the hatred and fear of the feminine principle. If a new belief system is necessary, surely it would be better to use it to correct past errors, not to compound them by preaching yet more patriarchal dogma?

Yet, as we have seen, there are many who want our future society to be based on Freemasonry, in the belief that it bestows spiritual and sociological enlightenment on its members - that is, with very few exceptions, on men. Masonic ideas about women tend to be resolutely outdated, unenlightened and at best patronising. Once again, we are faced with the possibility of having our society re-made in the image of male dominance, thus perpetuating many of the least admirable trends of the West’s history, and in fact preventing the advent of true spiritual progress, which - if we are to take the ancient Egyptian knowledge at all seriously - must always be based on the opposite and equal balance of male and female principles.
