Most people are startled to find out that every major pharmacy in America offered cannabis tinctures as medicine until the 1930s when cannabis prohibition began in the US.(1)

Cannabis has been used for over a thousand years by most of the world’s great cultures as a medicine. Most people in the west are unaware that many ancient cultures also recognized the value of cannabis as an aide to spiritual practice.

Like any powerful medicinal plant, the energies of the plant must be used in a way that harnesses its basic properties to promote health and healing. When used correctly it can have a profound, enlightening effect.

For this reason, sects within Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism and a variety of other religious groups have used cannabis for spiritual practices. Below is a brief overview of cannabis spiritual history compiled through various textual and online sources with a focus on ancient spiritual practices.


Cannabis Use in India


Cannabis has been used in Ayurvedic and Indian medicine for at least three thousand years to treat a variety of health conditions, including nausea and wasting syndromes. It is also prescribed for general health and longevity. To this day body builders in India use cannabis as a part of their training regiment to gain muscle mass, promote digestion, and build strength.

The spiritual aspects of cannabis are considered so profound in South Asia that many religious groups including Buddhists, Naths, Shaivites and Goddess Worshippers(2) have incorporated it into meditation practices, as a means to stop the mind and enter into a state of profound stillness, also called Samadhi.

Cannabis holds a prominent place among Tantrics in India, Nepal, Sikkim, and Tibet to this day. In the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism, it is said that Buddha subsisted for six years on nothing but hemp seeds.(3) Various spiritual texts, including the Buddhist Tara Tantra,(4) list cannabis as an important aide to meditation and spiritual practice. In the Tantric Buddhism of the Himalayas and Northern India, cannabis still plays a significant role in meditative rituals to facilitate deep meditation and heighten awareness.

Cannabis is even mentioned in the Indian creation myth, where it is named as one of the five nectars of the gods and designated a “Reliever of Suffering.” In the original myth, the gods churn the Ocean of Milk in search of Amrita, the elixir of eternal life. One of the resulting nectars was cannabis. In the Vedas cannabis is referred to as a “source of happiness.”(5)

In India today, cannabis is often made into a drink consumed by local people and is said to be the favorite drink of Indra, the king of the Indian gods.

Cannabis is most closely associated with the worship of Shiva, one of the three principal deities of India. Cannabis is considered Shiva’s favorite herb due to its spiritual properties. It is commonly consumed by Shaivite yogis, ascetics, and worshippers of Shiva, as an aid to their sadhana (spiritual practice). Wandering ascetics, known as sadhus, are often seen smoking cannabis out of a clay chillum as a part of their spiritual practice.(6)

One of the most commonly consumed preparations of cannabis in India is called Bhang. Bhang is offered to Shiva images and statues throughout India, especially on the festival of Shivratri.

Cannabis is such an important part of the religious culture of Benaras, the main city of Shiva worship, that it is sold in government-run shops and used by pilgrims and common folks alike, being part of the religious culture.(7)

In reviewing the use of cannabis in India, the Indian Hemp Drugs Commission conducted a government study on the matter and made the following conclusions in their report:

"...It is inevitable that temperaments would be found to whom the quickening spirit of bhang is the spirit of freedom and knowledge. In the ecstasy of bhang the spark of the Eternal in man turns into the light the murkiness of matter.

"...Bhang is the Joy-giver, the Sky-filler, the Heavenly-Guide, the Poor Man's Heaven, the Soother of Grief...No god or man is as good as the religious drinker of bhang...The supporting power of bhang has brought many a Hindu family safe through the miseries of famine. To forbid or even seriously restrict the use of so gracious an herb as the hemp would cause widespread suffering and annoyance and to large bands of worshipped ascetics, deep-seated anger. It would rob the people of a solace on discomfort, of a cure in sickness, of a guardian whose gracious protection saves them from the attacks of evil influences..."

Ayurvedic and Indian doctors still prescribe cannabis to treat a range of conditions. Slowly the west is finally beginning to recognize the true values of this remarkable plant.


Cannabis Use in China


Hemp has a long history in China. At one point it was so prized that the Chinese called their country "the land of mulberry and hemp.” Cannabis was a symbol of power over evil and in emperor Shen Nung's pharmacopoeia and was called the "liberator of sin.” The Chinese believed that the legendary Shen Nung first taught the cultivation of hemp in the 28th century B.C. Shen Nung is credited with developing the sciences of medicine from the curative power of plants. So highly regarded was Shen Nung that he was deified and today he is regarded as the Father of Chinese medicine.

A Chinese Taoist priest wrote in the fifth century B.C. that cannabis was used in combination with Ginseng to set forward time in order to reveal future events. It is recorded that the Taoists recommended the addition of cannabis to their incense burners in the 1st century A.D. and that the effects thus produced were highly regarded as a means of achieving immortality. In the early Chinese Taoist ritual, the fumes and odors of incense burners were said to have produced a mystic exaltation and contribution to well being.


Cannabis Use in Japan


Hemp was used in ancient Japan in ceremonial rights and for purification with and emphasis on driving away evil spirits. In Japan, Shinto priests used a gohei, a short stick with undyed hemp fibers to create sacred space and purity. According to Shinto beliefs, evil and purity cannot exist alongside one another, and so by waving the gohei the evil spirit inside a person or place would be driven away. Clothes made of hemp were especially worn during formal and religious ceremonies because of hemp's traditional association with purity.


Cannabis Use in Ancient Iran


Ancient Iran was the source for the great Persian Empire. According to Mircea Eliade, "Shamanistic ecstasy induced by hemp smoke was known in ancient Iran." In the Zend-Avesta, hemp occupies the first place in a list of 10,000 medicinal plants.

One of the few surviving books of the Zend-Avesta, called the Venidad, "The Law Against Demons", calls bhanga (marijuana) Zoroaster's "good narcotic,” and tells of two mortals who were transported in soul to the heavens where, upon drinking from a cup of bhang, they had the highest mysteries revealed to them.

Cannabis Use in Ancient Europe


According to Nikolaas J. van der Merwe (Department of Archaeology, University of Cape Town, South Africa) the peasants of Europe have been using cannabis as medicine, ritual material, and to smoke or chew as far back as oral traditions go.

The famous Greek philosopher Herodotus wrote about the use of cannabis by the Scythians, whose cultural practices he observed and wrote about.

According to Herodotus cannabis was an integral part of the Scythian cult of the dead wherein homage was paid to the memory of their departed leaders. Cannabis has been found in Scythian tombs dated from 500 to 300 B.C. Along with the cannabis, a miniature tripod-like tent over a copper censer was found in which the sacred plant was burned.


Cannabis Use in Africa


In south central Africa, cannabis is held to be sacred and is connected with many religious and social customs. Cannabis is regarded by some sects as a magical plant possessing universal protection against all injury to life, and is symbolic of peace and friendship. Certain tribes consider hemp use a duty.

Members of the Rastafari movement use cannabis as a part of their worship of God and for Bible study and meditation. Rastafarians see cannabis as a sacramental and deeply beneficial plant and consider it to be the Tree of Life mentioned in the Bible. Bob Marley, amongst many others, said, "The herb ganja is the healing of the nations." The use of cannabis, and particularly the use of large pipes called chalices, is an integral part of what Rastafarians call "reasoning sessions" where members join together to discuss life according to the Rasta perspective.

According to Rastafari philosophy, "the herb is the key to new understanding of the self, the universe, and God. It is the vehicle to cosmic consciousness" and is believed to burn the corruption out of the human heart.(8)


Cannabis Use and Islam


It is interesting to note that the use of hemp was not prohibited by Mohammed (570-632 A.D.) while the use of alcohol was strictly prohibited. Despite the fact that Mohammed did not disallow cannabis, orthodox groups of Muslims today consider cannabis to be forbidden.

However, many historical groups of Muslims considered hemp as a "Holy Plant.” Medieval Arab doctors used hemp as a sacred medicine which they called among other names kannab. The Sufis (Muslim mystics) originating in 8th century Persia used hashish as a means of stimulating mystical consciousness and appreciation of the nature of Allah. They maintained that hashish gave them otherwise tremendous interiority and basic insight into themselves. They also claimed that it gave happiness, reduced anxiety, and increased music appreciation.(9)

According to one Arab legend Haydar, the Persian founder of the religious order of Sufis came across the cannabis plant while wandering in the Persian mountains. Usually a reserved and silent man, when he returned to his monastery after eating some cannabis leaves, his disciples were amazed at how full of spirit he was. His disciples went out into the mountains and tried the cannabis themselves. So it was, according to the legend, that the Sufis came to know the pleasures of hashish.(10)

Join a Breakaway Civilisation: A multinational group wants you to join the first outer space nation


Join a Breakaway Civilisation:
A multinational group wants you to join 'Asgardia' -- the first outer space nation with a mission to defend Earth

Asgardia space station mission earth protection James Vaughan 
Asgardia/James VaughanAn artist’s concept of an Asgardian space station.

 



A new country called Asgardia, named after Norse mythology’s city in the skies, could be the first nation ever created in space, which will embark on a mission to mine asteroids and defend Earth from dangerous meteorites, space debris, and other threats.

That is, if everything goes according to an uncertain and open-ended yet ambitious plan put forth by its founders.

The group behind the Asgardia project includes space experts based out of Canada, Romania, Russia, and the United States, and they announced their intention to launch the first space nation from a press conference in Paris on Wednesday.

Their core concept is to launch a robotic satellite within the next 18 months (60 years after Russia launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite), then eventually follow up with a permanent space station “where people can live, work, and have their own rules and regulations,” one founding member told Business Insider. The hope? To “democratize space,” they say.

Ultimately, the organisers envision Asgardians building “a state-of-the-art protective shield for all humankind from cosmic manmade and natural threats to life on earth such as space debris, coronal mass ejections and asteroid collisions,” according to an emailed press release.

“We must leave [Earth] because it’s very much in the nature of humanity,” Ram Jakhu, the director of McGill University’s Institute of Air and Space Law and an Asgardia founding project member, told Business Insider in a phone intevierview before Wednesday’s press conference.

“Humanity left Africa and covered the whole globe. The resources of Earth will be depleted,” he said. “Third, I would say, we have a wish to go where nobody has gone before.”


Who is Asgardia?


Timothy Wild, a spokesperson for the consortium, would not disclose how many researchers or other experts are currently aligned with the project during our call with Asgardia.

But we count at least five so far, according to materials shared by Asgardia’s publicity company:

  • Igor Ashurbeyli — founder of the Aerospace International Research Center (AIRC) in Russia and the new chairman of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation’s (UNESCO) “science of space” committee
  • David Alexander — director of Rice University’s Space Institute
  • Ram Jakhu — director of the Institute of Air and Space Law at McGill University
  • Joseph N. Pelton — director of the Space and Advanced Communications Research Institute (SACRI) at George Washington University
  • Dumitru-Dorin Prunariu — a Romanian cosmonaut


Wild noted that the project is in its “early stages” and is hoping the intial publicity will attract engineers, scientists, and other talent.

“What we’re doing now is a call to arms, so we want to widen the net,” he said.

In addition to experts, Asgardia is calling in you to join its ranks.

“[T]he site will allow the first 100,000 people to register to become citizens of Asgardia alongside their nationality on [E]arth,” the release stated. Asgardia is also crowd-sourcing its flag, insignia, and even national anthem.


How is it funded?


Wild would not disclose the organisation’s current funding level, but claimed Ashurbeyli himself had put forth a substantial amount of money to get the Asgardia project going.

“We’re absolutely confident the satellite will launch within 18 months,” Wild said. “But in terms of absolute numbers [of money], we’re not there yet.” Wild would also not disclose how Asgardia’s founders plan to acquire cash to fund its future efforts.

It will likely need tens of millions of dollars to start out, and perhaps billions to sustain itself.

Substantial, fist-size satellites called nanosats can be built and launched for roughly millions of dollars. But sending up larger objects requires more powerful and expensive launchers.

Right now, one of the cheapest rides into orbit a couple of hundred miles above Earth is a Falcon 9 rocket, and SpaceX charges roughly $60 to $65 million for the whole ride (some companies will share payload space and split the cost).

Meanwhile, it took 18 nations and about $100 billion to build and operate the International Space Station (ISS).


Can you actually form a new nation in space?

In an emailed press release, Ashurbeyli said that “Asgardia is a fully-fledged and independent nation, and a future member of the United Nations — with all the attributes this status entails.”

However, according to current international space law, the country that launches an object into space is responsible for it, including any damage it causes to denizens of Earth.

“The project is creating a new framework for ownership and nationhood in space, which will adapt current outer space laws governing responsibility, private ownership and enterprise so they are fit for purpose in the new era of space exploration,” the organisation said in its emailed release. “By creating a new Space Nation, private enterprise, innovation and the further development of space technology to support humanity will flourish free from the tight restrictions of state control that currently exist.”

How would that be different from the ISS?

“The ISS is joint venture. There’s no entity called ‘ISS,'” Jakhu said. “It’s just one facility, parts of which are controlled by different nations. It’s more or less a condo.”

And when asked about the laws behind forging a country on a yet-to-be-launched space station, Jakhu acknowledged the challenge, but he seemed optimistic.

“We have not seen any nation attempt this before. So this will be a first,” he said. “We’ll start small and eventually people will be going there, and working, and having their own rules and regulations … This facility will become an independent nation.”

Business Insider contacted the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) for clarification on whether or not current space laws would permit a new country to declare itself in space — from the ground, with an uncrewed satellite, or even with people aboard a space station. We also asked the organisation how (if it’s not yet permitted) a new nation like Asgardia might need to change space law to form itself

UNOOSA represenatives did not immediately respond to our query.


How will Asgardia get built?


While painting an ambitious vision of a peaceful future in space, Asgardia is curiously quiet on the details.

Business Insider pressed its representatives for details about timelines, funding, satellite and space station designs, launch vehicles, personnel, and more, but Asgardia declined to provide that information.

“At this point we’re trying not to give too much technical details away,” Wild said. “We have some ideas, but it’s not at the level of understanding to put into the public domain … [W]e’re taking a measured approach. We’re explaining what we want to do now and not jumping the gun on too many details.”

Jakhu and Asgardia’s organisers expect to draw plenty of critics, including analogies to the fizzling Mars One project — an effort that continues to claim it will set down astronauts it has recruited on the red planet, though multiple investigations suggest it lacks the funding, manpower, and expertise to pull off the feat.

However, Jakhu and Wild pointed out that trying to form the first space nation a couple hundred miles above Earth is a lot different than trying to colonize Mars, as Elon Musk of SpaceX and Mars One intend.

“I’m sure people will ridicule [Asgardia], but I’m not worried. Anyone who tries out-of-the-box things is initially ridiculed,” Jakhu said. “Everything that’s amazing starts with a crazy idea. After a while science fiction becomes science fact, and this is an idea which is just being initiated.

Asked if Jakhu would live in Asgardia, he responded, “why not?”

“I think it’d be less risky than going to Mars,” he said. “And you could more easily come back to Earth if you didn’t like it.”





Asgardia -- an Open Recruitment for a Breakaway Civilization Begins | A "Second Brain Drain" and the Disclosure of Secret Space Programs?



Recruiting for a space-based nation—a breakaway civilization named Asgardia has begun. The call was put out for 100,000 volunteers who would be willing to join the soil-less nation that would be the first of its kind—or is it?

An international consortium represented by Timothy Wild (backed by major players in science and business who wish to remain largely hidden at this time) are pioneering the first en masse recruitment for space colonization.

The call was publicized in an article released by Business Insider, a magazine that draws a broad range of readership that could bring recruit some of the brightest minds in the world today.

Given the public's fascination with science fiction and fantasy dealing with the exploration of space, reaching back some 80 years, there could be millions of people who want to join the fledgling nation.

But for those who have studied the fringe topics of ufology, the UFO cover-up and what is now called the Ancient Astronaut theory, there could be much more to this story.

The existence of a breakaway civilization that is already well established in space is what some researchers and whistleblowers claim—spread throughout the solar system and beyond. But is there any credence to support such a mind boggling assertion?





Breakaway Civilizations


Certain alleged insiders have disclosed that there are shadowy governments that have progressed secret space programs, operating under the cover of government-sponsored secrecy for decades.

Richard Dolan is a researcher who spoke at the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club event organized by Dr. Steven Greer in 2001. He said that evidence assembled via declassified documents and whistleblower testimony suggests that indeed a breakaway civilization has existed alongside common place societies for decades, if not far longer. It is this same covert group that was responsible for promoting and maintaining the UFO cover-up and silencing anyone who dared speak about advanced technology that could threaten the status quo of the energy industry, according to Dolan.







But what is a breakaway civilization?

According to researchers, a breakaway civilization is a term referring to a secretive group within a nation or society that furthers a hidden agenda often involving technological advancements that eventually lead to resource independence from the parent community. These resources would include but are not limited to, financial, social, or material demands that are one day transcended as a result of an agenda's success.

But is there any evidence to support this theory breakaway civilization and secret space program theory?

In short, there have been many warnings and utterances by esteemed figures within government and the private sector who do indeed believe that such a group exists.

The now deceased Senator of Hawaii from 1963 to 2012, Daniel K. Inouye, had this to say when he Chaired the Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran in 1987:

“There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” (source)




And President Theodore Roosevelt's comments on a shadowy group also suggest that a breakaway group had gained control over the United States government as far back the turn of the 20th century.

"Behind the ostensible Government sits enthroned an invisible Government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of the day...." — Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919). An Autobiography. 1913. (source)

So while the notion of a secret space program was not explicitly revealed in the statements mentioned above from officials within the US government, a shady influence that had gained control of the overt state seems to be well acknowledged. The question is what was this cloaked organization doing with the unaware backing of the American people, who by the consent of the governed were funding and supporting projects of an undisclosed nature.

According to proponents of this theory, the US government, alongside several other groups organized by multinational corporate giants, succeeded in breaking away from the current human civilization, developing far beyond what the average person considers to be possible. But this remains an almost unprovable contention because incredible lengths are taken to maintain secrecy using covert operations that often involve the use of elaborate cover stories, which make it especially difficult to separate fact from fiction.

In short, the truth appears to have been hidden so well that even if evidence poured down from the sky, most of the uninformed masses would be unable to comprehend the importance of what they were seeing.

According to proponents of the breakaway civilization theory, the truth is hidden in plain sight, enfolded into the fabric of society itself as science fiction and fantasy. And if one plots the development of the so-called Secret Space Program alongside popular works of fiction, a clear correlation can be made that suggests perhaps a breakaway civilization has indeed been revealing itself to the public for decades.


 
Disclosure through Fiction -- Hiding the Truth in Plain Sight?




As one possible example of disclosure through fiction, Jack Kirby is a comic book artist who produced many widely successful works during the mid- to late- 20th century. Kirby wrote The Face on Mars depicting a giant human visage on the surface of the red planet in 1958.

But it wasn't until 1976 when NASA's Viking Missions sent back photos of the Cydonia site that the public learned of a landform that some believe is a clear-cut case of an extraterrestrial civilization.


Image Source. Viking image of the Cydonia site on Mars

Image Source. The "face on Mars."


Although NASA and the media were quick to refute claims that this image was proof of the existence of non-terrestrials, it fueled a storm of interest in the notion that humanity is not alone in the universe. Ufologists would spend years trying to solve this mystery, all while most of the public remained completely unaware of the staggering correlation.

Did Kirby know that the face on Mars existed? If so, how did he come to gain this knowledge?

Some researchers contend that Kirby was provided the data by certain figures within a secretive space program that had already made the voyage to Mars decades before NASA would set its sights there.

If true, then this suggests what breakaway civilization and secret space program researchers have asserted for years—that there is indeed a hidden agenda to explore space that was successful beyond the wildest dreams of many who subscribe to NASA's contemporary plans for Mars exploration.

One whistleblower claims that the Germans developed a hidden program to produce antigravity flying saucers as early as 1930, some 30 years before Kirby would pen his infamous comic book work. But again, for the average person, these claims are so controversial that many dismiss them out-of-hand, without a second thought that they might actually be true.

In light of this, an exploration of what can be confirmed through somewhat official channels might be helpful.



Searching for Evidence



Consider that President Eisenhower warned of the power and might of a military industrial complex that answers to no nation or public authority whatsoever, capable of advancing an agenda hidden from the public eye—much like what President Roosevelt and Senator Daniel K. Inouye referred to.





This warning went out in 1961 after Eisenhower learned of what had been developed behind closed doors under the direction of what are called Special Access Programs and Unacknowledged Special Access Programs, also known as deep-black government projects. These are highly secretive projects with no government oversight, possessing the capacity to advanced technology that is completely hidden from the public eye.

According to released FBI documents as well as recovered pages from former assets within some of these programs, a group known as Majestic 12 or MJ12 were in charge of some of these programs—a multinational group of high ranking business figures with ties to what has been called the secret government. When Eisenhower learned of these projects—realizing that he was not only unaware of their activities but completely incapable of overseeing them for the safety of the American people—he was furious and made efforts to regain control of the situation.

Dr. Michael Salla is one researcher who presented the following account as provided by Richard Dolan in relation to a former CIA operative turned whistleblower who was ordered to deliver a message to one of the secret facilities known as S4 or Area 51. The whistleblower testified before a panel of six former US members of congress during the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure in 2013.

Dr. Salla introduces the account by the former CIA operative in the following excerpt from an article on his website Exopolitics:

In response to questions from UFO historian Richard Dolan, the former CIA agent went on to explain how in 1958, he and his boss – the CIA operative – were summoned by President Eisenhower to the Oval Office. The President, who was accompanied by Vice-President Nixon, told the agent and his boss that he was trying to get information about efforts to learn about extraterrestrial life and technology. The agent said that according to President Eisenhower: “MJ-12 was supposed to find out, but they never sent reports to him.” The CIA agent said he and his boss were called into the Oval Office”. President Eisenhower said:

We called the people in from MJ-12, from Area 51 and S-4, but they told us that the government had no jurisdiction over what they were doing…. I want you and your boss to fly out there. I want you to give them a personal message…. I want you to tell them, whoever is in charge, I want you to tell them that they have this coming week to get into Washington and to report to me. And if they don’t, I’m going to get the First Army from Colorado. we are going to go over and take the base over. I don’t care what kind of classified material you got. We are going to rip this thing apart.”

If these accounts are to be believed, it would provide some backstory for Eisenhower's infamous warning regarding the out-of-control status of the military industrial complex. And given that these programs were well established during the mid-20th century, it also suggests that incredible advances have taken place, which is—to this day—completely hidden from the public.

And still other insiders have also suggested that a breakaway civilization has already colonized the Moon, Mars, much of the solar system and beyond—home to millions upon millions of individuals who already comprise an unacknowledged "space nation" that surface dwelling humans would easily consider a Star Trek-like society. But of course, this claim is so absurdly fantastic, many dismiss it as yet another wild "conspiracy theory"—or is i

But according to other insiders and the documentation brought forward by them, the space race itself was a cover for a much more advanced secret space program, one that eventually saw the development of a breakaway civilization.

According to one of the more recent whistleblowers who came forward in 2015, the Brain Drain was much larger than previously thought. Allegedly millions of people were secretly recruited into secret space programs that sent hundreds, thousands and millions of individuals—and their families—into space to colonize the Moon, Mars and beyond. Of course, these claims are so contradictory to accepted history and the notion that "the government can't keep a secret" that most people dismiss them as unfounded conspiracy theory.

But as part of the protocol for keeping Unacknowledged Special Access Programs secret, elaborate cover stories were developed to hide a project's true agenda, as the following excerpt from an analysis of Gaia's series Cosmic Disclosure details.

In Dr. Michael Salla’s book, Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs & Extraterrestrial Alliances, Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (USAPs) are discussed in which participants are given authority to hide their activities from the public. Waived USAPs are a more secretive set of programs not required to report any of their activities or existence for congressional oversight. In these deep-black projects, oral briefs are provided to read-in persons only—those individuals who have a valid need to know. Participants are authorized to deny the existence of these programs under any circumstances, including congressional subpoena, and are provided a cover story to hide the project's existence.

A supplement to the DoD manual related to special access programs states that cover stories can be generated with the goal of hiding a program's true purpose.

Cover stories may be established for unacknowledged programs in order to protect the integrity of the program from individuals who do not have a need to know. Cover stories must be believable and cannot reveal any information regarding the true nature of the contract. (Source)

This suggests that there were most likely two sets of secret programs, one that was designated deep-black or USAP, and an acknowledged project that would draw public attention. (source)
 

The Beginning of the UFO Cover-up

Project Bluebook is a declassified US Air Force study into the UFO issue, beginning in 1952 and ending abruptly in 1969, which declared that there was nothing of interest to the US government or merit to the UFO sightings being reported by millions of people at the time.

Prior to this development, investigation into extraterrestrial intelligence and flying saucers was a serious field of research, attracting academics held in high regard. However, after the investigation ended, any honest inquiry was ridiculed by the media and all study became taboo—the talk of "fringe" researchers only.

If one examines the time period when the UFO cover-up began—sometime before Project Bluebook—the rise of science fiction's popularity and usage by Hollywood could arguably be evidence that elements of truth were being hidden in plain sight.

These Unacknowledged Special Access Programs have since the time of the UFO cover-up made incredible advances into space, if proponents are to be believed. The level of secrecy needed to maintain these programs is truly staggering and is arguably one of the best-kept secrets in human history—if true.




Asgardia's Recruitment and Recent Leaks




At the same time that the recruitment call for Asgardia went out, there are a staggering number of leaked emails released via Wikileaks, naming prominent figures, like John Podesta (Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign) and former astronaut Edgar Mitchell.

Here is an excerpt from an article recently published on this site that details correspondence between Mitchell and Podesta:

" ... emails, specifically #1766 and #1802, reveal far more than just speech outtakes. They were sent from Dr. Edgar Mitchell to John Podesta, discussing some interesting topics related to Disclosure, free energy, and extraterrestrials. Dr. Edgar Mitchell is a former NASA Astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the Moon. After his years in the service, he then worked with Dr. Steven Greer of The Disclosure Project in an effort to support the movement of bringing disclosure of these technologies and the truth behind the UFO cover-up to the peoples of planet Earth. His testimony from The Disclosure Project can be found here.

As for the emails released on the 7th of October, here is an excerpt from email #1766, dated January 18th, 2015, from Edgar Mitchell to John Podesta:

“Dear John, As 2015 unfolds, I understand you are leaving the Administration in February. It is urgent that we agree on a date and time to meet to discuss Disclosure and Zero Point Energy, at your earliest available after your departure. My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI.”

And here is an excerpt from email #1802, dated August 8th, 2015, also from Mitchell to Podesta:

“Dear John, Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk. Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.”

These two emails captivated many people in the disclosure community because they mentioned Zero Point Energy (ZPE), Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI), and confirmed assertions held by many in the fields of ufology and the like. (source)






Mitchell was one of a handful of people to walk on the Moon and was avidly imploring Podesta and others before his death to disclose the truth about UFOs and extraterrestrials, along with advances made in free energy and space-age technology, as revealed by recent leaks.

Given all this, the join Asgardia campaign could arguably be part of a multinational effort to prepare the human race for the disclosure of what has been called the Secret Space Program, which according to several alleged insiders, has already developed the technology to "take ET home."






Asgardia is funded by a consortium of financiers who wish to remain largely secret, and all of the connections mentioned above, there is enough evidence to assert that the space-based nation could indeed be another cover story for the already well-established breakaway civilization

Dear Elon Musk: “We’re Already On Mars,” Claims Alleged SSP Whistleblower Corey Goode

 

mars

 




If you haven’t already heard, Elon Musk is planning to colonize Mars. Recently announced at the 67th annual International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, he revealed that he not only wants to go to Mars, but also to establish a human colony on the planet once we get there.

According to alleged Secret Space Program whistleblower Corey Goode, who just released a press release about human activity and Mars, we are already there and have been for a long time. And he’s not the only one who’s saying that. This also comes as less of a surprise given the recent WikiLeaks’ documents, suggest that  human and extraterrestrial collaboration that’s been happening for some time.

“Mars was first visited by the Germans as far back as the 1930s, but during the 70s, US space programs were actively exploring Mars and other planets to establish bases. In 1980 the US SSP became – Solar Warden. Under Project Solar Warden vast development and colonization occurred on Mars and other planets. Goode continues, “Bases on Mars were built under the surface.”

You can watch more on this in detail on GAIA.com where Corey Goode & David Wilcock host Cosmic Disclosure.

 

The SSP

 


Who might this secret space program be run by? Perhaps this statement from Senator Daniel K. Inouye will give you an idea: “There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” (source)

Inouye was one of many politicians who tried to let the world know about the world of secrecy that plagues our planet. Another great example would be President Roosevelt, who told the world that “behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.” (source)

This “invisible” government has also built its own secret space program.

Did you know that the National Security Agency (NSA) was founded in 1952, and its existence was hidden until the mid 1960s? Even more secretive is the National Reconnaissance Office, which was founded in 1960 but remained completely hidden for 30 years.

In the mainstream world, these initiatives are called  Special Access Programs (SAP). Then there are unacknowledged and waived SAPs, better known as “deep black programs.” These programs do not exist publicly, but they do indeed exist. A 1997 U.S. Senate report described them as “so sensitive that they are exempt from standard reporting requirements to the Congress.” (source)

For a deeper look into the subject, below is a great lecture given by researcher Richard Dolan. If you’re new to the topic and want a little background information, this is a fantastic place to start.




Already On Mars?

 

 

Because this subject is so controversial and so often ridiculed, it is essential to consult credible sources, and to listen to whistleblowers with verified backgrounds — who now number in the hundreds in terms of comments regarding UFOs and/or extraterrestrials.

From there you can add to your research by listening to alleged whistleblowers, who offer interesting stories that often corroborate with much of the information presented by verified whistleblowers.

We’ve been in contact with Corey Goode for many months now and when asked about releasing his credentials, he stated the time wasn’t right and there were many things to consider that we cannot share on record at this moment.

With all of the recent disclosures, and with dozens of governments already releasing thousands of ‘UFO’ files detailing astonishing military encounters with UFOs, alongside tremendous amounts of witness testimony, there is no better time to delve deeper into the subject.

That’s where Corey Good comes in. He claims he was recruited through one of the MILAB programs at the young age of 6, and trained and served there from 1976-1986/87. Toward the end of his time as a MILAB he was assigned to an IE support role for a rotating Earth Delegate Seat (shared by secret Earth government groups) in a “human-type” ET Super Federation Council.

MILAB refers to the military abduction of a person who is then indoctrinated and trained for any number of military black ops programs. Apparently, Goode’s IE abilities played an important role in communicating with non-terrestrial beings as part of one of the Secret Space Programs (SSP). During his 20 year service he had a variety of experiences and assignments, including the Intruder Intercept Interrogation Program.

A recently released a press release talks more about these programs:

Richardson, Texas, October 13, 2016 – On Tues, Oct. 11th President Barack Obama wrote an Opinion Editorial via CNN.com announcing to the citizens of the United States that, “America has set a clear goal to send humans to Mars by the 2030s…we do what’s possible before anyone else.” The problem here is that during a Nov. 2015 video interview with Gaia.com, whistleblower Corey Goode from the US Secret Space Program (SSP) said, “There are humans already on Mars and it’s been colonized.” In Dec. 1986, Goode was recruited into SSP – UNSAP (Un-Acknowledged Special Access Programs) under Project Solar Warden. He was assigned to a research vessel in space to study the solar system from Dec. 1986 – Dec. 2007.

President Obama and the US government joins a heavy-hitter list of private-sector visionaries, such as Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg and Elon Musk (SpaceX), as they compete to make a historical dent in space. On Oct. 4th, according to Bloomberg Technology, Muilenburg said, “It’s my company that’s sending the first humans to Mars, not Musk. I’m convinced the first person to step foot on Mars will arrive there riding a Boeing rocket.”

 

William Tompkins

Retired aerospace engineer William Tompkins, (left) who worked with U.S. Navy space intelligence programs during World War II, stated that, “During my tenure in the Navy, we discovered that the Germans had been inventing space technology since the early 20th century.”

Tompkins story corroborates Goode’s claims of German space-travel technology. This is interesting, because it also aligns with when the American Space Program began, shortly after operation paperclip.

Tompkins claims to have classified documents showing German space-travel technology, and says he worked within highly classified think tanks, designing advanced weapons for aerospace companies, including North American Aviation, Northrop, and Douglas Aircraft Company.

Whether you believe in the secret space program or not, evidence is mounting that humans have been working well beyond what we’ve publicly been told when it comes to secret space. Are we on Mars? You be the judge, but given all we’ve seen in our research, there’s much reason to think we are and that it’s simply not being conveyed to the public. Why? That’s a whole other story.
