My view: crop circle code cracked @ ICCRA meeting

[wabun]

The Thunderbird Wheel has been activated.

I just got back from the fifth annual ICCRA (Independent Crop Circle Researchers Association) Conference in Locust Grove, Ohio, where I gave a 1 1/2 hour presentation on the subject of my contributions to decoding the Howell, Michigan crop circles and my subsequent decoding of several elements of the overall crop circle mystery. The conference began on the afternoon of Friday, May 9, and ended with an optional tour of the local Indian mounds on the afternoon of Sunday the 11th. The tour continued on Monday, after which the remaining handful of people, including Jeff Wilson, Delsey Wilson, and Dr. John Paul DeVierville, scattered at the Mound Cemetery in Piketon, Ohio. Before Jeff and Delsey left, I asked Jeff if he could recommend any Indian mound sites that I could visit on my way back to Grand Rapids.

After we disbanded, I visited seven Indian Mound sites on my way back home to Grand Rapids:

1) Edgington Mound - Neville, Ohio
2) the mound at Green Mound Cemetery – New Richmond, Ohio
3) Miamisburg Mound – Miamisburg, Ohio
4) the mounds at The Wright Brothers Memorial - Dayton, Ohio
5) the mounds at Antioch University – Yellow Springs, Ohio
6) Enon Mound – Enon, Ohio
7) the Anderson Earthworks at Mounds State Park, Anderson, Indiana

At each of the mound sites (except for Edgington Mound and Enon Mound, which were fenced off) I removed my shoes and socks (in order to establish a direct connection with the Earth), stood at the top of the mound, and talked with the spirits - with special focus on my deceased grandparents, Harold and Dorothy Prange, who had made their presence known to me loud and clear through a series of symbolic synchronicities and well-timed animal appearances that happened constantly from the moment I left for the ICCRA conference. To talk to the spirits, I simply spoke aloud the thoughts in my head I wanted them to hear without ritual or self-consciousness; to hear the responses, I simply paid attention to the animal appearances and synchronicities that occurred, and decoded the symbolism of each occurrence with a language that became clearer with every completed communication circuit. The visits to each mound - which were ensured by the instinctual feeling that I should visit each mound site that Jeff had marked on my map - extended my arrival back home in Grand Rapids from my originally planned Monday arrival to two full days later, on early Wednesday evening around 7-8 PM EST.

At the conference, there was a new level of organic convergence of agreements among a majority of the researchers- a (sometimes) unspoken and sometimes spoken mutual understanding that many core elements of the mystery have been solved; universal understandings achieved through acceptance of different perspectives and information coming from many different angles, from scientists to musicians, from discussions that blurred lines between presenters and audience. By embracing our differences and avoiding pyramid-shaped hierarchies, I believe we have found the answers to three core questions of the crop circle mystery: 1)Who is making the genuine crop circles, 2)What they are trying to tell us, and 3)Why they are making them.

I'll answer question #1 as a statement of renewed and permanent personal belief to the public, resulting from new information revealed at the ICCRA meeting: The "masterminds" behind the genuine crop circle phenomenon are the spirits of our ancestors, from our deceased parents and grandparents back through the ancient Hopewell mound builders and further into the past. Together, as a cooperative community in the spirit world, they are consciously creating crop circles to convey an overall message to their living descendants, with a universal language that could be understood globally, containing individual messages for individual crop formations layered with messages that can be found by connecting data from whole groups of crop formations together.

To physically create the formations planned out, I believe that our ancestors' spirits work together with forces known by many vague, all-encompassing names depending on the level of individuality and freedom of one's spiritual views: "forces of nature," "conscious nature spirits," "devas," etc. Those who have a more pyramid-shaped spiritual system, a.k.a. organized mainstream religion featuring an excess of ritual, conformity, tradition, hierarchy, and other traits associated with the reptilian brain, may (for now) be able to understand this if I replace the above terms under a larger umbrella name such as "God," "Allah," "Jah," "Buddha," etc.

To put it simple, I believe our ancestor's spirits plan the locations, design and timing of a crop formation, and then enlist the force I describe in the above paragraph when the time is ready to physically create the formation.

The rest, including the answers to questions 2 & 3 (Why are they making them and what are they saying) is covered in my crop circle essay, which I'm in the process of expanding into a book for national release. Link to my essay, which was the basis for my presentation at the ICCRA conference:
www.scatterdome.com/howell.htm

One of the biggest keys to cracking the main crop circle code turned out to be an ubiquitous Native American legend of the Thunderbird. ICCRA director Jeff Wilson, through his meticulous and thorough research, realized that the circlemakers have been frequently encoding the symbolism of this Thunderbird legend into crop circles; at the meeting, we collectively realized - with Jeff's updated presentation on the Thunderbirds as a centerpiece - that the circlemakers are using that legend to symbolize what’s currently happening on our planet. Through Jeff’s revelations, which began a year ago at the 4th annual ICCRA conference with his brilliant “Return Of The Thunderbirds” presentation, we were able to collectively answer several of the primary mysteries of the crop circle phenomenon at the 5th annual conference. From here on out, the remainder of the mystery is just detail work. The overall message of the crop circle phenomenon has been decoded; however, individual crop formations have individual messages which still need to be decoded, and thus, the detail work. Don’t worry, crop circle researchers- decoding crop circles is going to be smooth sailing from here on out.

I will now tell my simplified version of the Thunderbirds legend:

Many Native American tribes used the Thunderbird legend to create a beautifully simple spiritual language to understand the nature of “darkness” vs. “light.” Firstly, they applied the story as an analogy of the daily cycle between night and day: When the sun set and night time came, the Great Horned Serpent would drive away the Thunderbirds and take over, as night time was his time. (All things associated with “darkness” are then associated with the Great Horned Serpent; “darkness” is then associated with “Serpent energy.”) When it was time for the daytime cycle to begin, the four Thunderbirds would return, forming an unbreakable circle, as seen in the Native American symbol of the “Thunderbird Wheel,” generating great wind and lightning to cast the Great Horned Serpent underground. (All things associated with “light”- love, laughter, truth, etc.- were then associated with the Thunderbird, representing “Thunderbird energy.”) Daytime was the Thunderbirds’ realm, and they would rule until the next cycle began.

A crucial part of this legend was the inherent understanding that the language of “Thunderbird vs. Serpent” does not mean “good vs. evil,” it means “light vs. darkness.” The language of this legend leads to an understanding that darkness and light must both exist in the natural cycles of life, so darkness is not the same as the loaded word “evil.” A simple understanding of this leads to other simple spiritual truths: in order to have life, you must have death to balance it out; order and chaos must both exist for the cycles of life to exist; etc. Thus, Serpent Energy is not “evil” - it’s “dark.”

Some important details: 1)Traditionally, the symbolic Thunderbird Wheel (which I’m using for my user logo on this forum, if you need a visual representation) must always move in a counter-clockwise rotation. 2) When a traditional depiction of the wheel is spun fast enough, it achieves an "hourglass shading" that has been seen in many a crop circle. 3) Many crop circles are variations on the Thunderbird wheel and the closely associated symbols of the Four Winds.

While the daily cycle of night and day is the core of the Thunderbird legend, the symbolism of the legend could also be applied to bigger-scale cycles of time, from the history of a village up through the scale of the rise and fall of whole civilizations – which is one of the scales in which the crop circles have been symbolically telling the story of what’s happening in the world right now.

Through the story being told in the crop circles, I came to understand that we are now living in a time where – symbolically - the Serpent Energy has gotten out of hand on this planet, and the Four Thunderbirds – an inevitable force in the cycle of nature, as both sides understand - are due to return and force the Great Horned Serpent underground, as it is now time for the dawn.

The level of convergence and agreement reached at the meeting among researchers coming from all different angles told me that the groundwork required to crack the central crop circle code in a group effort has now been solidly laid down, and the information collectively realized at the meeting will now spread throughout the world, as revelations from various ICCRA meeting attendees begin to trickle out to the public.

In our modern times, I believe that the symbol of “driving the Great Horned Serpent underground” is the same as “dismantling the New World Order before it’s complete.” I believe that the two biggest keys to dismantling the New World Order are: 1) exposing the New World Order to the brainwashed public until public awareness of their plans for global domination has reached a high enough percentage to derail the plans, and 2) reconnecting the people of the world to the energies of the Earth (through the ley line map, which is one of the New World Order's biggest secret keys to power, and which is being methodically revealed to the public by the circlemakers, as you will see in my essay) and thus reconnecting us into direct contact with the spirits of our ancestors (who can be most easily contacted at the intersections of ley lines, which is why Indian Mounds and other sacred sites were built where they're built). Crop circles are giving us the missing information required to bring down the New World Order- including information that only a spirit who has crossed over could know.

I believe the best two authors exposing the New World Order are, in a non-hierarchical order, 1) Jim Marrs, whose smoothly written, well-documented books are a perfect introduction for the “skeptic” who is in denial that a conspiracy even exists, and 2) David Icke, who takes the 3D information covered by Jim Marrs and then adds the next-dimensional level, where he reveals one of the New World Order’s biggest secrets to their power- the possession of royal bloodlines by ancient reptilian entities.

I believe the leading researcher/communicator in the subject of crop circles is my good friend Jeff Wilson, who I feel is the crop circle researcher best equipped to finally get the mainstream media to take crop circles seriously; his brilliant and charismatic presentations on crop circles at the last few ICCRA meetings represent the cutting edge of crop circle research, in my opinion; as soon as we get them up on YouTube (coming soon!), any crop circle researchers who have been stuck in the same place (hitting their head against the dead end of “extraterrestrial signs”) are going to get “unstuck from the mud” and find a fresh burst of inspiration, knowing that the whole mystery is well on its way to being solved.

I am absolutely humbled and honored to have ended up in the role where I have filled in several crucial missing pieces of the puzzle for Jeff and the other ICCRA researchers; firstly, my essay has made the connection between the harsh reality of the New World Order as explained by David Icke, and how crop circles fit into that “big picture.” I have gone on to find new and simple ways to decode the messages in crop circles, which started with my decoding of the Howell, Michigan crop circles and expanded into the scale of dozens of interlocking crop circles in the U.S.A., which is covered in the second half of my essay. It is very important for anyone reading this to understand that I take very little of the credit for what has been revealed in my essay; everything was basically put in my path since I made my initial discovery in Howell (or more likely, years before that discovery was placed precisely in my path) as I was given valuable clues by countless friends I have in both the spirit world and the world of mortals.

The only thing for which I will take a lot of credit is that I had the courage to go up against the Freemasons, which started by revealing to the public that the Howell crop circles had exposed the remains of some blatant, creepily occultic Masonic symbolism landscaped into the field and forest around the locations of the Howell crop formations. Consequently, I am the first crop circle researcher to end up on the Freemasons’ public “Anti-Mason” list, which exists on the masonicinfo.com website, which claims that it is not an “official” site despite the fact that the Freemasons’ official website, freemasonry.org, sends you right to masonicinfo.com on it’s “E-Mason Links” page as its #1 recommendation for reading their take on specific people who oppose Freemasonry, or “Anti-Masons.” In their entry on me, they ridicule my “credentials” as a writer/researcher and then go on to put words in my mouth by reversing my most crucial point: according to this website, I am saying that THEY are making crop circles, when anyone reading my essay can clearly see that I’m saying the opposite, that I think spirits directly OPPOSED to the Masons’ agenda are making crop circles. Considering the far-out “X-Files” nature of my subject matter, you’d think they could use my own words against me in their effort to portray me as a backwoods, uneducated “loony.” Instead, their reversal of my words showed me that I’m onto the truth; it’s a transparent propaganda technique they’re using to reduce traffic to my essay’s website, which they use to tell the public that they are “unafraid” of a loony like me. They know that many people will not bother to read my essay if they assume that I actually am dumb enough to think that Freemasons are behind the crop circle phenomenon; basically, their entry on me is a form of “damage control” on their part.

This brings me to my next idea. If a person were to check out Jim Marrs’ work and become aware of the New World Order, the next step would be to check out David Icke’s work. To connect that “big picture” to the crop circle phenomenon, I believe that my essay (soon to become a book) represents the link between the two, and thus the next logical step for someone who reads a David Icke book. The final stop in this quartet would be Jeff Wilson’s work, for those who want to learn about the cutting edge of crop circle research from the best spokesman we have. My theory on this is: depending one one’s field of interest and level of skepticism, the work of one of these four researchers follow a logical flow from one to the next. For example, if you’re interested in crop circles but afraid to read about conspiracies, the best starting point would be Jeff Wilson’s work, after which the best order of progression would be: 2) Jim Marrs, 3) David Icke, and finally, 4) my work. To sum up the four different paths I propose based on the starting point:

1) Jim Marrs -> David Icke -> Jim Prange -> Jeff Wilson
2) David Icke -> Jim Prange -> Jeff Wilson -> Jim Marrs
3) Jim Prange -> Jeff Wilson -> Jim Marrs -> David Icke
4) Jeff Wilson -> Jim Marrs -> David Icke -> Jim Prange

A flow chart could be put onto a wheel to demonstrate: Start at one researcher, spin the wheel 90 degrees counterclockwise to check out the next, and hit the other two in order to complete the fully locking information circle:
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/FourThunderbirdsalternate.jpg
Since the connection is a complete circuit, the truth is revealed to those who complete the circuit and use their own minds to decide whether it make sense as a whole. As the public wakes up, and more and more people are exposed to the four researchers on this “wheel,” it could be symbolized by the wheel turning faster and faster and faster, until it creates the great wind and lightning needed to symbolically
”drive the Great Horned Serpent underground.”

When we reached a convergence of awareness at the 5th annual ICCRA meeting, enough where the ideas and higher perspectives achieved can now spread through the crop circle research community like wildfire, I believe that we have officially reached the tipping point that has activated the “Thunderbird Wheel” to the point where its momentum is unstoppable. In a way, the crop circles have symbolically pointed me to believe that by cracking the crop circle code and reaching a large group of dedicated crop circle researchers with the information, the symbolic, interlocking “Thunderbird Wheel” of information needed to wake up the masses is now complete, which means that the New World Order is now officially destined to fail.

Now that the Thunderbird Wheel has been activated, I have an important message to any reptilian spirits still working for the New World Order’s side through their human and full-blooded reptilian hosts: You must realize that you now have three basic choices: 1) Realize that love and truth are the mark of the winning side and join the Thunderbirds’ side, 2) Leave the planet and relocate to your colony planet(s) full of human abductees, if you really want another shot at a similarly styled New World Order somewhere else, or 3) Keep doing what you’re doing to this Earth and you WILL be blown away with a great wind by the unstoppable electric momentum of the Thunderbird Wheel.

Good stuff Wabun. I'm only starting on your links now but

"2) Leave the planet and relocate to your colony planet(s) full of human abductees"

If thats going on we need to sort that afterwards.

Good stuff Wabun. I'm only starting on your links now but

"2) Leave the planet and relocate to your colony planet(s) full of human abductees"

If thats going on we need to sort that afterwards.
Exactly. First things first; we need to fix things here on Earth before we can think about rescuing the humans who have been abducted to colonize the reptilians’ “Plan B” planet(s).

At this point, I thought I should mention a couple things:

First, I wanted to point out that Jim Marrs and David Icke are basically running on parallel tracks; the only difference is that Jim Marrs carefully avoids making public statements about belief in reptilians, while he subtly “passes the baton” to David Icke at the end of “Rule By Secrecy” by stating what Icke thinks and how it may fit neatly into his (Marrs’) findings.

This means that Jim Marrs’ books are the perfect introduction to the reality of the New World Order, for readers who are ready for some real answers to explain our planet’s rampant corruption, but aren’t ready to read about the reptilians.

In 2003, Jim Marrs gave a presentation that followed the same basic framework as “Rule By Secrecy.” At the end of his lecture, he opens up a question-and-answer session with the audience. In that segment, the following dialogue occurs between 1:55:00 and 1:56:31:

MAN WITH QUESTION: Hi, Jim. David Icke had a big sold-out conference in London recently, talking about exactly the same subjects. And he also spent a bit of time on the evidence for reptilian-oriented control of the top of this native pyramid, if you like. What sort of input are you getting on the same subject?”

JIM MARRS: It’s interesting, because when you follow the evidence, you just kind of get there. But let me tell you something- I met David Icke, and I really… I kind of like David. And it’s interesting, because I wasn’t even aware of him until the last moment writing Rule By Secrecy, and yet we were both following the evidence and we were both running pretty parallel. The big difference is this: along with my newspaper background, I also augmented my low reporter’s pay by working and dabbling in public relations and advertising. And I know enough about public relations that I don’t believe I’m going to really win friends and influence a lot of people by publicly calling the Queen Mother of England a 200-year old reptilian cannibal. (audience laughter and clapping) It’s not to be saying it’s not true, It’s just I’m saying… (pauses for more audience laughter) I’m just saying: I’m not saying that! (laughs.)

Here's a link to a direct download of the lecture, from my website:
http://www.scatterdome.com/Jim Marrs - 2003 lecture.avi

The second thing I thought I should mention is that there’s an interesting “word battle” going on in one of the “Crop Circle” threads next door.

On page 1, you can read “masonfree party’s” ridiculous “theory” about crop circles being “95% military, 5% hoaxes,” which initially inspired me to start posting on his thread to expose him as a disinformation agent.

Shortly after my initial post on page 19 of the thread, a poster named “eternal spirit” slithered up to “masonfree party’s” side to try to defend him. “eternal spirit” then began trying to “debunk” my theory, while actually admitting that he hadn’t even read the webpage containing my theory before posting his “opinions.”

I then quickly exposed both of them as disinformation agents, by using their own words against them to highlight the parallels between their tactics and the classic tactics of typical New World Order propaganda.

Page 19 through 22 (and maybe beyond, after I post this) of that thread then became a Class-A example on how to call out disinformation agents on internet forums. Those four pages (and maybe more) can serve as an educational tool for readers of this forum who are tired of treating BS artists as if they are genuine people with real opinions. Many posters here are undoubtedly frustrated that disinformation agents are constantly ruining the best discussions, but getting away with it because their tricky wording helps them avoid being tagged a “troll.” My confrontation with “masonfree party” and “eternal spirit” on that thread could become, by virtue of providing a good example, a tool for truthseekers to call out other disinformation agents on the internet, wherever they lurk. For those who are looking for such a tool, please consider the example I have provided here for your empowerment.

On page one of the thread, you can read “masonfree party’s” initial post, which initially drew me into battle. Link to page 1 directly:
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26022

And here is the link to page 19, where I entered the fray:

Enjoy.

The following is a short autobiography by David Icke. It can be found at several links. Here’s one of the links:
http://www.stateoftheart.nl/phenomenon/frames/subjects/theories/davidicke/bio.htm

I have highlighted (in boldface and sometimes by underlining) certain passages and phrases that are especially relevant to this thread, or that will soon be.

The story of David’s visit to the mound in Peru has many parallels to my own recent experiences visiting many Indian mounds after the ICCRA conference, which are detailed at the beginning of this thread.

David offers a much more detailed version of his autobiography at the beginning of his 2003 book Tales From The Time Loop. In that book, the details of his visit to the mound in Peru, introduced by a short passage titled “Daring To Be Different,” can be found between pages 18 and 22.

Here’s David’s mini-autobiography:

I was born in Leicester, England, at around 6.15 pm on April 29th, 1952. I was brought up in what they call in Britain a "working class" family on a big council housing estate and money was short, very short, throughout my childhood. I wanted to be a professional soccer player for as long as I could remember and I achieved that by leaving school to play for Coventry City and Hereford United in the English league.

Just six months after my soccer career began, however, my left knee swelled up for no apparent reason and after months of tests they told me I had rheumatoid arthritis. I decided to play on because that was all I had ever wanted to do and I continued for the next five years, progressing in my career, but also watching the arthritis progress into my ankles, left knee, elbow, etc. In the final year of my career, at the age of 20, I was in agony every morning at training until my joints were warmed up and loosened a little. But I was enjoying a successful period and I wanted to carry on.

It activated still more a fierce determination I have always had not to capitulate to adversity and to overcome whatever life may choose to put before me. Or, in truth, what my own journey chooses.

Towards the end of that soccer season, the pain disappeared for around a month and I thought I was going to be OK, but then one morning I woke to find that every one of my joints was agony, like a knife being stabbed into them and my career was over. It took some days to even be able to hobble, never mind walk again. I was just turned 21 and I was led to believe that I would end up a cripple. It hasn't happened. It won't happen. It is not in my reality at all.

I decided I wanted to be a television presenter with the BBC and began to start on that goal by looking for work as a journalist. This was not easy because school had bored me rigid and I left to play soccer before taking any exams. (Thank-you, God) I would do my learning on my terms, in my time, and the "educational" system barely touched me. I rejected it all with a sort of inner knowing that it was not relevant to me.

I managed to get a job on a small weekly paper in Leicester, not least because I was the only applicant and from then on I advanced quickly through newspapers, local radio, regional television, to become a national sports and news anchor man and reporter. Soon after I achieved this, in 1982, I moved to an island off the south coast of England called the Isle of Wight, a place I had been attracted to since I was a small child.

It was here that I began to campaign on environmental issues and this led me to becoming a national spokesman for the British Green Party, a post I held at the time of the Greens greatest, indeed only, success at national elections in the UK, the election for members of the European Parliament in 1989. But I saw that while the Green Party talked about being different, it was, like all the Green parties I have come across, just the old politics under a new name. I lost interest and left as my life went through the most unbelievable upheavals.

From the mid-1980's onwards, I had also lost interest in television. I was doing it to earn money to spend on what I really wanted to do - environmental campaigning - and not because I actually desired to do it. I found television to be an empty, soul-less world, in which insecurity and fear abounded. And after the events of March, 1990, my time in television was soon to be over.

I wrote a book in 1989 called It Doesn't Have To Be Like This, setting out the vision and agenda of the Greens because I felt they were talking to each other and not to the public as a whole. As I was writing the book, and in my work for the BBC, I began to feel a presence around me, like there was always someone in the room when there was not. It got to the point where I sat on the side of the bed in a hotel room in London in early 1990 and said to whoever or whatever: "If you are there will you please contact me because you are driving me up the wall."

Soon afterwards, events began to move quickly.

In March, 1990, I was playing soccer with my son Gareth on the seafront at Ryde on the Isle of Wight and I said to him we would go and have some lunch at the railway station cafe' a short walk away. The cafe' was full and we turned to walk away when someone recognised me and began to ask me questions about soccer. When the conversation was over, I couldn't see Gareth, but I knew he would be in the newspaper shop nearby looking at books he liked. So it was. I stood at the entrance to the shop and said we were going now to find another cafe', but as I turned to leave, my feet were stuck to the ground as if two magnets were pulling them to the floor. I don't hear voices or anything, I just follow my intuition, but in this early period of awakening I did hear three voices very clearly. This was the first. It said: "Go and look at the books on the far side." What the hell was this all about?, I thought.

I knew this shop very well and the books in that section were of no interest to me. But given the voice and what was happening to my feet, I went over to see what would happen. The first book I saw was one by a psychic lady and I was immediately intrigued because of this presence I had felt around me. I wondered if she would be able to tell me what was going on. She was also a hands on healer and so I wrote to her and made an appointment for healing, not telling her about the presence or anything else. To her, I just wanted to try her healing on my arthritis. I only saw her four times and in the first two visits nothing happened of note, except that I talked with her about other dimensions and the wider vision of life.

Then, on the third visit, I was lying on the couch while the healing was done when I felt like a spider's web on my face. I had remembered reading in her book that this can happen when "spirits" are trying to make contact. I said nothing to her, but within fifteen seconds, no more, she pushed her head back and said: "This is powerful, I'll have to close my eyes for this one!" She said she was seeing a figure who wanted her to pass on messages to me. The same happened a week later and this is what the "figure" asked her to tell me on those occasions:

”He is a healer who is here to heal the earth and he will be world famous. He will face enormous opposition, but we will always be there to protect him. He is still a child spiritually, but he will be given the spiritual riches. Sometimes he will say things and wonder where they came from. They will be our words. Knowledge will be put into his mind, and at other times he will be led to knowledge.

”He was chosen as youngster for his courage. He has been tested and has passed all the tests. He was led into football to learn discipline, but when that was learned it was time to move on. He also had to learn how to cope with disappointment, experience all the emotions, and how to get up and get on with it. The spiritual way is tough and no-one makes it easy.

”We know he wanted us to contact him, but the time wasn't right. He was led here to be contacted, not to be cured. But one day he will be completely cured. He will always have what he needs, but no more.

”Don't try to do it all alone. Go hand in hand with others, so you can pick each other up as you fall.

One man cannot change the world, but one man can communicate the message that will change the world.

He will write five books in three years.

Politics is not for him. He is too spiritual. Politics is anti-spiritual and will make him very unhappy.

He will leave politics. He doesn't have to do anything. It will happen gradually over a year. (Exactly as happened)

In 20 years there will be a different kind of flying machine, very different from the aircraft of today. Time will have no meaning. Where you want to be, you will be.

There will be great earthquakes. These will come as a warning to the human race. They will occur in places that have never experienced them. Taking oil from the seabed is destabilising the inner earth. The centre of the earth will move and the poles will change. The sea spirits will rise and stop men taking oil. The sea will reclaim the land and humans will see that they cannot do these terrible things. They cannot abuse the elements. They have to be treated with respect.”

All this was told to me on March 29th 1990 and on the second visit about a week later. At the time, I was a BBC television presenter and national spokesman for the Green Party and had no idea what this was all about. Yet ten years later, most of it has happened or is happening. Even down to the five books in three years, which I wrote to the month. I told some of the Green Party leadership about these experiences, but their reaction was just as closed-minded, ignorant, and uninformed as you would find in the system the Greens were claiming to challenge. "I think David is going crazy." Yea, right. Welcome to the new politics!

I wrote of these early months of awakening in a book called Truth Vibrations (Gateway Books) and then came the most astonishing event of all in an endless stream of fantastic experiences I was having and continue to have. I felt this enormous urge to go to Peru in late 1990, early 1991, and I headed there in February 1991 purely on the strength of this intuition. A series of stunning things happened to me there and it culminated with the following experience.

My Peruvian guide had booked us into a hotel called the Sillustani in Puno, not far from Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Sillustani is an ancient Inca site about an hour's drive from Puno and there were pictures of this around the hotel for obvious reasons. I said that I wanted to go there and I had to hire a tourist mini-bus for myself because it was out of season and there were no scheduled trips. There was just me, the guide, and the driver. Sillustani is a mound next to lagoon with the Inca ruins on the top. It is in an uninhabited area and it was very quiet when I was there, just a couple of children with a lama waiting to sell photographs to tourists, not that there were any.

After I had walked around the ruins for an hour or so in the piercing Peruvian Sun, I went back to the tourist bus to go back to Puno. I thought the trip was over, but it had hardly begun. About three minutes drive down the road I was looking out of the window and I saw a mound to my right. As I looked at the mound, a voice in my head began to say: "Come to me, come to me, come to me." Very strange to say the least, but I asked the driver to stop because I wanted to go and look at the mound.

Although I could not see it from the road, I found there was a circle of standing stones at the top of the mound and they had clearly been there a very long time. I stood in the centre looking back across to Sillustani with the mountains way off in the distance. There was not a cloud in the sky and the Sun was extremely hot, burning my face. Suddenly, I felt my feet pulled to the ground again like a magnet, the same as in the newspaper shop, but this time far more powerful. My arms then shot up above my head, with no decision by me for them to do so. Put your arms above your head, slightly outwards at about 45 degrees and see how they start to ache within a minute. My arms were like that for well over an hour and I felt nothing until it was over and then they were agony.

A flow of powerful energy began to go into the top of my head like a drill and I could feel the flow going the other way up from the ground through my feet. It was then I heard the third voice in my head, something that has never happened since. It said very clearly: "It will be over when you feel the rain."

What? What rain? There was not a cloud to be seen anywhere, just a glowing Sun in a clear blue sky!!

I stood there as the energy increased and increased to the point where my body was shaking as if plugged into a power station. After a while, I saw a light grey mist over the distant mountains and as I watched it got darker and darker. It had begun to rain far away. Very quickly this storm emerged from those mountains, filling the sky with clouds, and covering the Sun. Eventually it was over me and I was seeing faces in the billowing clouds.The storm was moving so fast, it was almost like time-lapse photography. Then it began to rain and as I felt the water on my face, the surge of energy suddenly stopped as if someone had flicked a switch. I staggered forward, my legs like jelly, my shoulder and arm muscles now very painful.

Energy was pouring from my hands with fantastic power and I went down to the bus to grab a crystal in an effort to diffuse some of it. My feet continued to burn and vibrate for some 24 hours. I could hardly sleep that night because of it.

My life was to change dramatically, in fact as dramatically as you could imagine, in the weeks that followed. I felt like a dam had burst within me and my consciousness was thrashing around trying to rebalance itself under the new circumstances. That took some two months to happen and in that time of enormous confusion, Truth Vibrations was launched and I went on national TV in the UK to be ridiculed beyond belief. For two years and more I could not walk down any street in Britain without being laughed at by most of the people. Comedians only had to mention my name and they got an immediate laugh.

But nightmare as this was, it set me free of the prison that most people live in - the fear of what other people think. Only by breaking free from that could I now be going around the world talking about shape-shifting reptilians occupying the positions of global power. If you need people to respect you as your sense of security, there is no way you would do that - one key reason why it has so rarely been communicated before. That ridicule was a major part of my journey and it set me free of so much.

From that time, I have followed the flow of life. Exactly what I was told would happen through the psychic lady in 1991, I have been led to knowledge, more and more all the time, which has revealed a picture of how the world has been controlled by a tiny few for thousands of years. And how the suppression of the spiritual knowledge, the understanding of who we are and the nature of life itself, has been the foundation of how this has been done. I have also learned of the Great Awakening, the Great Transformation, that is upon us.

The trickle of information became a river and now it is a tidal wave. Yet, we have hardly begun and the rest of the story promises to be even more amazing than even what has already happened in these last ten incredible years.

There were a few ideas mentioned in my initial post which were very simplified, but definitely need further elaboration. For this post, I’ll elaborate on the subject of the Native American Thunderbird legend that was used by the circlemakers, which will give some insight into how the legend relates to one of the over-arching "theme" messages of the crop circle phenomenon.

Firstly: the bulk of crop circles that Jeff Wilson and most of the other ICCRA members have studied, eventually resulting in the discovery of the theme of the symbolism of the Thunderbird legend and the Four Winds, were North American crop circles.

I think it is very likely that around the world, the circlemakers are probably using the symbolism of ancient legends specific to the region in which they create the crop circles. For example, I think that in Great Britain, there is a good chance that many of the genuine crop formations will turn out have an interconnected symbolism that reflects a specific ancient Druid legend- probably a legend relating to light vs. darkness, day vs. night, etc., and probably similar to the specific “day vs. night” Thunderbird legend used by the circlemakers in North America.

Secondly: the full explanation of how the Thunderbird symbolism was discovered in North American crop circles would best be left to Jeff Wilson, the man who initially studied the connection, discovered the depth of that legends’ connection to North American crop circles, and communicated the theory to the public.

Within a few days (hopefully) I will be posting a video of Jeff’s “Return Of The Thunderbirds” presentation from the 5th Annual ICCRA conference; this will be the best full explanation, and far superior to what I could convey on a messageboard.

For now, here’s several excerpts from websites that cover various Native American legends of the Thunderbirds. I have highlighted key phrases and passages in boldface, to make it easier to see how it all fits in with the ideas I expressed in my first post on this thread.

The Horned Serpent
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/THEHORNEDSERPENT.jpg

The Horned Serpent was a spirit being connected to curing, medicine, and mythology. It was a powerful underground manitou that was the guardian spirit of many Native Americans and liked to reside in rocks near water. Frances Densmore describes a shaman’s curing vision in which he turned into a snake with horns and cured people with an illness.

Thunderbirds
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/THUNDERBIRDS.jpg

The thunderbird was one of the most well known, oldest, and widespread spirit beings to be represented on rock and on clothing. The Algonkians describe the thunderbird as being capable of transformation into a man, able to cause lightning, thunder, and wind, and as the nemesis of the Great Horned Serpent of the underworld. The thunderbird petroglyph symbol has been found across Canada and the United States.

In describing the Jeffers Petroglyphs site, Gordon Lothson (1976) wrote that: "Thunderbird figures appear throughout the site. Five subclasses include obvious thunderbirds, stylized thunderbirds, birds in flight represented by crosses, thunderbirds with attached bison horns, and one thunderbird with the life-line heart motif." Lothson counted 118 thunderbird figures at Jeffers, comprising almost 8 percent of the total petroglyphs of the sample analyzed.

In 1866, Rev. Gideon H. Pond of Bloomington, Minnesota, wrote that: "The lightning . . . is to the Dakota simply the tonwan of a winged monster, who lives and flies through the heavens shielded by thick clouds from mortal vision. By some of the wakan-men [shamen], it is said that there are four varieties of the form of their external manifestation. In essence, however, they are but one. One of the varieties is black, with a long beak, and has four joints in his wing." It seems likely that the petroglyph illustrated above is a representation of this form of the Dakota thunderbird or Wakinyan (flyer). Pond wrote that: "Lightning emanates from this flyer, and the thunder is the sound of his voice. This is the universal belief.

Thunderbird controlled the weather, living in nests of stone on high mountaintops constantly shrouded in clouds. Thunderbirds were particularly sought as guardian spirits because of their power. The mortal enemy of Thunderbird was the Great Serpent who lived below the waters, and Mishipisu, a large, horned water panther. Thunderbird's lightening bolts were used to try and tame them.

From: http://www.mysteriousworld.com/Journal/2003/Summer/SerpentMound/:

THE SUN

Romain has concluded, based on a thorough study of Native American architecture and symbolism throughout North America, that square earthworks were meant to represent the sky — particularly, the four "corners" of the sky, what we understand as the four cardinal directions: north, south, east and west, and the four winds associated with these directions. More specifically, square earthworks were associated with the sun in the sky, and were typically oriented to the summer and winter solstice sunrises. This "square cosmology" was even reproduced in the arrangement of the living spaces of some cultures, who arranged their living quarters in a square called the "square ground", in the center of which sat the "sacred fire" that symbolized the sun. "Important to the concept of the symbolism of the square grounds was the sacred fire. Appropriately enough, this fire was located in the middle of the square ground. Throughout the southeast, fire was considered to be an earthly representative of the sun.... The concept of a sacred fire, identified with the sun, and fed with four logs oriented to the four cardinal points, thus forming a cross is the most widespread and basic ceremonial concept in the southeast."6 In native American cosmology, the sky was the home of the great sun god, who ruled the sky and the four winds of heaven, and was thus likely the greatest god of their pantheon. Its symbology was the most uniform and widespread to be found throughout ancient America. "The symbolic meanings of the cross, the square, and the bent-arm cross were the same for historic Indians of the Southeast, the prehistoric Mississippians, and the Hopewell: namely, symbols of the sky, the four world quarters, the four cardinal directions, and the four winds.”

SERPENT MOUND MYTHOLOGY

The Great Serpent Mound, then, was closely associated with the moon in the minds of the ancient Hopewell, its manifold curves clearly delineating the moon's habitual haunts in the night sky. As such, it clearly fits in with the Hopewell's obsession with sacred geometry, astronomy, and architecture. Yet, some questions remain. Why choose the form of a serpent to symbolize the underworld? And why is the serpent shown apparently swallowing the sun? Romain believes that the serpent may be representative of the "Great Horned Serpent of the Underworld" of Native American myth and legend, which also attacks and swallows the sun.

The Serpent Mound represents the struggle between the Great Horned Serpent of the underworld and the sun, with the sun represented by the oval embankment.... As to why this mythological conflict might be important enough for the Mound Builders to go to the trouble of building the Serpent Mound, we can speculate that the serpent effigy symbolized the dark forces which would include the moon, night, winter, darkness, and death; while the oval represented the sun, daytime, summer, light, and life. Notably, the summer solstice sunset alignment suggests a balance between these two opposing cosmic forces. In this scenario, we can further speculate that perhaps the Mound Builders celebrated world renewal ceremonies at the site, in order to help strengthen the powers of the upperworld in the continuing struggle against the forces of the underworld. In this way, the Serpent Mound builders would have been able to exercise some control over the forces that ruled their universe and affected their lives.... What we see in the Serpent Mound is yet another iteration of a theme that has fascinated humanity since the beginning — that is, the eternal conflict between the opposite forces of light and dark, good and evil, life and death.

The Great Serpent Mound, then, was likely the setting for an annual ritual wherein the ancient Hopewell (and possibly the Fort Ancient peoples) regularly reenacted their most important annual ceremony in order to maintain a harmonic balance between heaven and earth and ensure the continued fertility of the land. By using the symbol of the serpent, the Hopewell were apparently attempting to sympathetically control the powers of the underworld, of night, darkness, winter, and death, by creating an symbolic image of them that was more or less under their control. In their worldview, their annual recognition of the powers of the underworld and their ability to replace the light with darkness, and the summer with winter, was absolutely necessary to maintain harmony with the cosmos and ensure that the light, summer, and life would return again the next year. Failure to do so would, in their worldview, possibly lead to their total destruction and, perhaps, that of their entire world.

Such beliefs were common throughout the ancient world, as ancient man attempted to integrate himself in closely with his environment. In ancient North America, the forces of darkness were typically symbolized by serpents, or "water spirits", whereas the forces of light were typically represented by the Thunderbird. This indicates that the Native American worldview was essentially dualistic in nature. Light and darkness, summer and winter, Thunderbird and serpent, such concepts were central to the Native American worldview. But one question remains. Who were the mysterious Hopewell, and why were they so much more advanced than their neighbors?

As we saw in Part I, the Serpent Mound was built on a prominent clifftop in an area that is important and unusual in several respects. Moreover, the amount of time, energy, and expertise required to build the mound, as well as the important information it apparently conveyed, tends to lead to the conclusion that the Great Serpent Mound was one of the greatest ceremonial centers of the Hopewell, and of ancient America.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/Swastika-SpiroMound.gif
This engraved image from Spiro Mound in Oklahoma also shows a form of the swastika. Also known as the sun wheel, this swastika elaborates upon the Native American concept of the four directions and the four winds, under the "square sky" through which the sun traveled. Image from InnerX.

===============================================

Notice that the serpents' heads (on the wheel depicted above) are heading towards the center of the wheel in a clockwise fashion- the opposite of Thunderbird Wheels, which usually depict four Thunderbirds emanating out from the circle and pointing their beaks leftwards to create the look of a counterclockwise motion from the center.

[ufo_swatter]

'and the Four Thunderbirds – an inevitable force in the cycle of nature, as both sides understand - are due to return and force the Great Horned Serpent underground, as it is now time for the dawn'

The Great Serpent the beautiful Goddess is already in chains, she has been for thousands of years and aliens put her there.
The churches and liars have made a devil out of our Goddess, our true Mother. We aren't from a different planet, we are part of this Mother Earth. the Horned Goddess, our Dragon mother is nor evil, she birthed all humanity, but her children turn their backs on her and leave her imprisoned. Aliens have to subdue the lifeforce of this planet because she has defenses that would destroy them and they use humans to do the dirty work.

The beliefs of American Indians may be used equally to reinforce a lie as well as prove an alleged truth. Crop circles, pretty as they are, come from a source that has to be suspect, and any conclusion/message drawn from them has to be viewed with extreme care.

The world is at a turning point, if the will of aliens is enacted through weak human minds then then true life on this planet will end and for a time it will be nothing more than a vessel for the evil that aliens are.

The Horned Goddess is breaking free though, and the aliens know it, she will lay waste to cities and bring fire and flood and seas of blood to her enemies, just like they foretold, what they forgot to mention is that she is the true force of good and they the true evil.

Well thats new...

Just in time for the summer solstice, I have prepared a partial Google map of the locations of many genuine crop formations and Indian mounds in the United States.

This map is going to be a work-in-progress for several months. I already have a majority of the documented locations of United States crop formations plotted out on the map, thanks in no small part to Jeff Wilson, who recently sent me a file containing his extensive database of the locations of USA crop formations. Some of these locations are precise, while others are roughly approximated (pinpointed a few blocks off-site), depending on the comfort level of the owners of the field in sharing the precise locations with the public. I still have many North American crop formations to add to the map (especially Canadian formations) but the majority of the USA formations confirmed to be genuine are already included. (Known hoaxes have been entirely omitted from this map, and the majority of formations that have not been tested properly have been left out, with a few exceptions where other factors tip the scale in the favor of a formation being genuine.)

On the other hand, I only have a minority of the locations of USA Indian mounds plotted out on this map so far. Many of the best-known mounds and sacred sites in the U.S. are already on my map, but there are many, many Indian mounds that are either obscure or long-destroyed, whose locations can be determined with an online search only when accessing the online history website of a specific town our county. I’ve only begun to scratch the surface, when it comes to the locations of the lesser-known Indian mounds in the USA.

My map is currently focusing on the Ohio-Indiana-Michigan-Illinois-Wisconsin, or “Great Lakes” area—the main “hot-spot” region for crop circles in the USA. As I expand the map, I will begin to include more sites in other states, but for now I’m focusing on fleshing out that region.

To properly view ley lines, one must factor in the curve of the Earth. Google Maps does not do this, but Google Earth does.

Thus, after accessing this map, do not try to draw straight lines between the locations with Google Maps. Instead, hit the “View In Google Earth” option, to load up the map into Google Earth.

Link to my Google Map of the sites here:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=100506713182637583679.00000111fcafeda931baf

Next, Go to the website of archaeologist J.Q. Jacobs, who has many Google Earth overlays featuring the original maps of the complete layouts of many North American sacred sites, showing what they looked like before time and the plow partially or completely destroyed them. Link to J.Q. Jacobs’ Google Earth placemark/overlay collection here:
http://www.jqjacobs.net/archaeo/sites/index.html

Download all of the .kmz files of North American sacred sites, found under the headings “Eastern Woodlands” and “American West.” Since the overlay files are very large, he has them posted in several separate .kmz files featuring clusters of mounds from one specific area.

This is a very crucial step in properly setting up your Google Earth map, as the original complete designs of these sites reveals much of the ancients’ knowledge of alignments between the sites. Also, I haven’t put all of these sites on my own Google Map yet.

Once you have them loaded in Google Earth, you can draw the straight lines yourself. Rather than include a .kmz file with my own lines (which I don’t yet have prepared), for now I’ll let the readers of this post do it themselves. It’s very fun, and it really drives home the reality of the alignments when you draw the lines yourself. I wouldn’t want to deny others the first-hand experience of drawing these lines into Google Earth- it’s an experience I enjoyed immensely.

However, there are several significant alignments that I have found by viewing these sites in Google Earth, which I feel are worth mentioning here.

For today's post, here's my first four suggestions:

#1: The 2004 crop circle line, aka one line of the “Great Cross of North America”:
Miamisburg mound & the 9/04 crop formation in Miamisburg, OH >
7/04 Hillsboro, OH RDF >
8/04 Elmville, OH RDF >
5/08 “Woodland Altars” RDF in Peebles, OH >
9/04 Rarden, OH RDF >
Indian mounds in Portsmouth, OH >
4/04 Oakvale, WV RDF

#2: The 2005 crop circle line, aka another line of the “Great Cross of North America”:
6/05 Leicester, NC grass circle >
6/05 Jupiter, NC grass circle >
7/05 Mars Hill, NC grass circle >
6/05 Green Mountain, NC grass circle #2 >
4/04 Oakvale, WV RDF

#3: Another crop circle line:
3/07 Chandler, AZ RDF >
9/06 Beloit, KS crop formation >
10/02 Hemlock, MI crop formation

#4: An alignment of sacred sites in Ohio:
Henneberger mound near Frankfort, OH >
Hopewell Mound near Anderson, OH >
Liberty Earthworks near Rupels, OH >
Leo Petroglyph near Leo, OH

When viewing the last alignment, notice how the complete layouts of Henneberger Mound, Hopewell Mound and Liberty Earthworks (from the J.Q. Jacobs page) reveal earthwork designs that follow the alignment perfectly.

As you draw more and more lines, you will begin to see one of the main messages of the crop circle phenomenon first-hand:

Connect the dots.

Enjoy!

[wabun]

Here’s four more alignments to add to your Google Earth collection:

#5: 3 crop circle sites & 2 Indian mounds:
8/03 Mayville, Kekoskee, WI crop formation >
Lizard Mound, near West Bend, WI >
Converse Mound Group (former location), Grand Rapids, MI >
8/03 and 8/06 Howell, MI crop formations (the initial focus of my online essay) >
2/97 Island Lake, MI crop formation

Two more approximate locations of Indian Mounds are roughly on this line, if extended:

- The former location of Indian mounds at the former location of Great Lakes Smelting Company, Detroit, MI.

- The Trempealeau Mounds, Trempealeau, WI.

#6: 4 crop formation sites:
5/03 Hilltop, KY crop formation >
10/03 West Union, OH crop formation >
5/08 Peebles, OH “Woodland Altars” RDF >
9/03 Bainbridge, OH crop formation

Note that Serpent Mound (and of course the 8/03 Serpent Mound crop formation) are almost as close to this line as the 5/08 Peebles, OH RDF.

#7: 2 Indian mound sites & 1 crop formation:
High Banks Earthworks, near Chillicothe, OH >
Piketon Mounds, Piketon, OH >
5/07 Madisonville, TN crop formation

#8: 2 crop formation sites & 1 Indian mound:
8/04 Lawton, MI crop formation >
6/90 Warsaw, IN crop formation >
Etowah Mounds, near Cartersville, GA

After the weekend, I will post more alignments on this thread.

[wabun]

For today’s post, I have eight more alignments to share.

For those who don’t want to draw the alignments themselves, or for those who can’t or don’t have the extra time, I have included a link to my .kmz file containing these first 16 alignments. (However, I still highly recommend doing it yourself, at least for some of them, as an educational and fascinating first-hand experience.) Here’s the file link:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=1194720

The placemarks are not included in this file, so it is a small file.to download- 2.8 kB.

The file contains the alignments only; to load my placemarks of crop formations and Indian mounds onto your Google Earth, you’ll still need to go to my Google Map link, and then hit the “View In Google Earth” tab above the map to download the placemarks into your Google Earth program. Here’s the link to my Google Map again:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=100506713182637583679.00000111fcafeda931baf

And, here again is the link to J.Q. Jacobs’ Google Earth overlays of archaeological site maps:
http://www.jqjacobs.net/archaeo/sites/index.html

Alignments that were first discovered by Roger Sugden and/or Jeff Wilson (to our knowledge) are marked as light blue lines, while alignments that I discovered myself (to my knowledge) are marked as green lines. (It should be noted that Jeff, Roger and I have all been independently spending time on Google Earth - setting placemarks and looking for alignments between crop formations and Indian mounds - since we returned to our respective homes after the ICCRA conference. So, there is probably some blurring between the “blue” and the “green” lines in this case. For example, earlier today I emailed my most current complete file of Google Earth alignments to Roger Sugden, and then later discussed some of the alignments with him over the phone as we looked at them on Google Earth; when I got to Alignment #4 (Leo Petroglyph -> Liberty Earthworks > Hopewell Mound > Henneberger Mound) he remarked that he had just discovered that alignment himself, earlier in the day.)

Here’s my list of the eight alignments for today’s post:

#9. 4 crop formations & 1 Indian mound:
8/03 Mayville/Kekoskee, WI crop formation >
8/03 Horicon, WI crop formation >
8/03 Clyman, WI crop formation >
8/06 Geneseo, IL crop formation >
Spiro Mound, Spiro, OK

#10. 3 Indian mounds & 2 crop formations:
Liberty Earthworks, Rupels, OH >
Seip Mound, Bainbridge, OH >
9/03 Bainbridge, OH crop formation >
7/04 Hillsboro, OH RDF >
Horseshoe Lake Mound, Granite City, IL

#11. 4 crop formations:
4/05 Albion, IN crop formation >
7/96 Indian Village crop formation >
6/90 Warsaw, IN crop formation >
8/96 Kewanna, IN crop formation >

#12. 3 Indian mounds & 1 crop formation:
Athens Earthworks (North end), Athens, OH >
Serpent Mound, Locust Grove, OH >
8/26/03 Locust Grove, OH crop formation (across the road from Serpent Mound) >
Edgington Mound, Neville, OH

#13. 4 Indian mounds:
Lizard Mound, Young America, WI >
Tampico Mound, Maple Mills, IL (just north of Little America, IL) >
Rockwell Mound, Havana, IL >
Kamp Mound Site, Kampsville, IL

#14. 2 Indian mounds & 1 crop formation:
Portsmouth Earthworks (small circular earthworks on the NE end), Portsmouth, OH >
mound in Green Mound Cemetery, New Richmond, OH >
7/00 Spencer, IN crop formation

#15. 4 Indian mounds:
Lilbourn Mound, Lilbourn, MO >
Cahokia Pyramid Mound, Cahokia, IL >
Effigy Mounds National Monument, Marquette, IA >
Fish Farms Mounds, New Albin, IA

#16. 3 Indian mounds:
Piketon Mounds, Piketon, OH
Seip Mound, Bainbridge, OH
Enon Mound, Enon, OH

In any of these alignments that involve an earthwork that has an overlay map available through J.Q. Jacobs’ website, note the shapes of the earthworks, as the shapes of the earthworks’ layouts consistently make geometric references to the alignments between the sites.

So far, the sites I have listed in these 16 alignments which have a map overlay available from J.Q. Jacobs’ page are: Portsmouth Earthworks (in alignments #1 and #14), Henneberger Mound (#4), Hopewell Mound (#4), Liberty Earthworks (#4 and #10), High Banks Earthworks (#7), Seip Mound (#10 and #16), Athens Earthworks (#12), Serpent Mound (#12), and Cahokia (#15).

For today’s post, I have 8 more alignments to share.

I have updated the file posted at Google Earth Community to include all 24 alignments; the link to the file remains the same.

Some updated instructions for viewing the current version of my alignment map:

The .kmz file linked below contains the lines depicting the 24 alignments between crop circles and Indian mounds in the United States. Link to the file:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=1194720

This file depicts the lines only; to add my crop circle and Indian mound placemarks to the mix, go to my two Google Maps of crop circles & Indian mounds and then click on "View In Google Earth." (The maximum number of placemarks on one Google Map that can be transferred properly to Google Earth is 200, so I created a second map for the newer additions to my placemark collection.)

Link to the first set of placemarks here:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=100506713182637583679.00000111fcafeda931baf

Link to the second set here:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&cli...6cb6dab&t=h&z=6

Next, go to the website of archaeologist J.Q. Jacobs and download all of his Google Earth overlays from the "Eastern Woodlands" and "American West" categories, found at this link:
http://www.jqjacobs.net/archaeo/sites/index.html

There have been some amazing developments in my Google Earth map of crop circle/Indian mound alignments since my last post.

Before describing these developments, I’ll describe the six separate layers now needed to view the updated version of my map on Google Earth.

There are now 4 separate placemark maps to download, as the maximum number of placemarks on a Google Maps that will properly transfer to a Google Earth layer is 200 placemarks, and I now have well over 600 placemarks in my collection. To add each set, visit the link to each Google Map, and hit “View In Google Earth” on each one to load them into Google Earth.

And now, the new developments:

A few weeks ago, I read a few articles on ley lines that inspired me to take my research into the next logical area of focus: to document the most complete collection of mound sites as possible in one state, and to then see if the resulting map supports my theory

When I started my thread about the alignments on Google Earth Community a few months ago, an apparent ley line skeptic and Google Earth Community regular going by the username “Hill” responded to my initial post with the following:

“The term Ley Line is new to me. So I looked it up. Here's a Wikipedia article. Also see Allignments of Random Points.”

Link to Wikipedia article on Ley Lines:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line

Link to Wikipedia article on “Alignments of Random Points:”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignments_of_random_points

The article on “Alignments of Random Points” covers some details of the skeptics’ primary argument against the existence of ley lines, which is that you could find the same number of alignments between ancient sacred sites on any given map as you could find if you replaced the ancient sites with an equal number of random points on the same map. This has been the main argument against the idea that the alignments between sacred sites are more than coincidence ever since the 1920s, when Alfred Watkins first noticed a number of alignments between ancient sites in England in a small area, and coined the term “Ley lines” after noticing that a disproportionate number of the families who lived on these lines had last names ending with the letters L-E-Y.

At the end of the article, there is a link to a well-researched and well-balanced article titled “Ley Lines and Coincidence” by Jason Papadopoulos, which details the efforts of various ley hunters, from Watkins through the present, to show that the alignments between ancient sites defy the odds of “random points” aligning. Link to the article here:
http://www.boo.net/~jasonp/leyline.html

One computer model called the “Hough Transform,” discussed in detail in the article, came up with the following statistics for the average number of alignments that one could expect between random points in a given area, under criteria discussed specifically in the article:

50 random points: 35 3-point alignments, 0.5 4-point alignments

100 random points: 246 3-point alignments, 8.5 4-point alignments, 0.5 5-point alignments

200 random points: 1,915 3-point alignments, 130 4-point alignments, 7 5-point alignments, 0.3 6-point alignments

300 random points: 5,663 3-point alignments, 628 4-point alignments, 55 5-point alignments, 4.5 6-point alignments, 0.5 7-point alignments

400 random points: 12,949 3-point alignments, 1,899 4-point alignments, 225 5-point alignments, 20 6-point alignments, 2.3 7-point alignments, 0.3 8-point alignments

After reading the article, I realized that the only way to do a proper test of my crop circle/Indian mound/ley line theory would be to find the most complete possible collection of mound sites in an area that also had several crop circles, and to then see if I could beat the odds described above with such a “test area.”

I chose the Lower Peninsula of Michigan as my test area for many reasons: 1) I live in Grand Rapids, MI. 2) ”The Archaeological Atlas of Michigan” by W.B. Hinsdale, which contains the most complete collection of maps showing Indian mound sites available for the state of Michigan, was available for photocopying at the Grand Rapids public library, which did not have a similar book for any other state among its collection. 3) The Lower Peninsula is surrounded by large bodies of water on three sides, making it a naturally isolated area perfect for such a test. 4) Jeff Wilson’s map of crop circles in the USA contains the precise locations of eight crop formations in the Lower Peninsula which had all been tested and verified as genuine crop formations; I thought that eight was enough to work with, for this test area.

One by one, I added earthwork sites from Hinsdale’s maps onto my Michigan map until I had covered the lower 3/5 of the Lower Peninsula. This area is the “test area” discussed in the rest of this post.

As of this writing, I have added all of the earthworks from the southern border of the state up through the borderline marking the northern borders of the counties of Mason, Lake, Osceola, Clare, Gladwin, and Arenac. This creates a roughly square area which contains the locations of all 8 genuine Michigan crop formations from Wilson’s map, and contains 445 Indian mound sites which were mostly taken from Hinsdale’s map. (I have also included the ?/07 New Haven Twp. crop formation on my map for now, even though it was destroyed by visitors before it could be tested for authenticity. My feeling is that if its location fits significantly into one or more major alignments, it may offer some clues as to the likelihood of it’s the formation’s authenticity.)

So far, in this area I have found 3 eight-point alignments, 5 seven-point alignments, and over 20 six-point alignments.

This means I am already roughly matching the Hough model in the number of 6-point alignments I’ve found in this area, and slightly exceeding the model in the number of seven-point and eight-point alignments found, though there may very well be more alignments in the “test” area that I have not yet noticed. Also, I suspect that the standards for an “alignment” in the Hough model are looser than the standards I have set for my map.

However, there is one particular six-point alignment, of the 20+ that I’ve found in Michigan, which beats out any odds discussed above, due to an additional “X-Factor” in the alignment that I think is far too great to be instantly dismissed as a “coincidence.”

This “X-Factor” is the fact that this particular 6-point alignment of Michigan Indian mounds matches up perfectly with the southernmost line of the pentagonal ley line pattern found within the “Great Lakes Biome,” a large ley line system that was mapped out by geomancer Peter Champoux several years ago. The map of this biome can be found in Champoux’s book “The Gaia Matrix,” and also on his website, at the following link:
http://www.geometryofplace.com/images/sitepdf/GreatLakesBiome.pdf

I had drawn this pentagram into my Google Earth map several weeks ago, and then deactivated (“or “hid”) its layer before I began adding in the Michigan earthworks from Hinsdale’s atlas. Then, on July 29, I turned the “pentagram” layer back on, and – to my delight – I found several mounds matching up with two different lines of the pentagram crossing through the NW quadrant of my “test area.” This drew my attention to the southernmost line of the pentagon crossing through Michigan, after which I immediately found the amazing precise alignment of 6 mounds, all within Michigan’s boundaries, along this line.

Alignment of 6 mound sites in Michigan matching bottom line of pentagon

To me, this represents another major confirmation of Champoux’s work, much like Alignment #1, which is a 7- or 8-point (depending on whether or not you count the Portsmouth Earthworks) alignment of crop formations and Indian earthwork sites starting at the Oakvale, WV crop formation and ending at Miamisburg Mound in Miamisburg, OH. As discussed in my first post, Alignment #1 matches up with the SE-NW line of the pair of ley lines comprising Champoux’s “Great Cross of North America.”

basically, I think that Champoux & I found the same ley line, but from two completely different approaches/angles. I think that this could be viewed as a double-sided confirmation of both approaches to finding ley lines, and also viewed as a general confirmation that ley lines are real.

It is inevitable that some of the alignments I find in this process will just be “random” coincidences rather than actual ley lines. However, I think that if I keep going forth with this project in this manner, which could be described as “throwing everything on the wall and then seeing what sticks,” figuring out which ones are actual ley lines will become easier as the map develops and expands beyond Michigan.

While I think that some of the precise five-point alignments I have found in smaller areas of Michigan are worth noting, today I am sharing only alignments with 6 or more points. I think 24 alignments, with 6 or more points in each, is enough to illustrate my point and provide the proof that I’m matching, and possibly exceeding, the Hough model odds of “random alignments.”

The first alignment on the list, Alignment #25, is the 6-point alignment of Indian mounds which, against all odds, happens to match up perfectly with with the southernmost line of the pentagon in Champoux’s Great Lakes Biome ley line map. Here’s the list:

#25: 6 mound sites:

i have posted a thread with video that explains crop circles & more! & i beleive it is 100% accurate!!! there is no disputing the truth!
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32453

[wabun]

For today’s post, I’d like to clarify a few things, lest there be any misunderstanding where I’m coming from.

Firstly: This thread represents my personal view, nothing more – I do NOT speak for the ICCRA.

Since I posted this thread, I have received some well-justified criticism from several ICCRA members, who were surprised to see this announcement all over the internet. After talking with me recently, these members got me to finally realize that the words I chose for the original headline of this thread ( “The ICCRA has cracked the crop circle code!” ) were poorly chosen, because many people who see the headline without reading the thread might make an assumption that the ICCRA, as a group, has made some kind of official statement about figuring out everything about the crop circle mystery.

Originally I was not concerned about the risk of this misperception, as anyone who actually reads my thread would know, based on the words I’ve written, that this thread clearly represents my personal speculation on the subject matter, NOT an official statement endorsed by the ICCRA. But, in this reasoning, I did not properly weigh in the fact that one side-effect of the plague of ignorance gripping much of the world’s population is that many people DO “judge books by their cover,” and also that this is how rumors get started.

I’d like to explain what the original headline was meant to convey, which is the same thing as what the new headline is meant to convey:

At the 5th annual ICCRA conference this May (the third meeting that I’ve attended and have given a presentation on my research into the Howell, MI crop circles) I was delighted to observe what I perceived as an organic convergence of viewpoints among many of the attendees, converging closer to the likely truth about crop circles at an exponential rate. By the end of the meeting, I thought (and still do) that a much clearer picture of the crop circle mystery was emerging among the group as a result of the information exchange at the meetings- to the point where it was tangibly becoming less of a mystery, to my perception. I had felt this at the first two meetings I attended, but to a lesser degree; this time, by the time I left, I had a very strong feeling (and still do) that enough good information and ideas had been shared with enough serious crop circle researchers at the meeting where, as these ideas and new bits of information trickled out to the public, the crop circle mystery was inevitably going to be solved in time to prevent the New World Order from achieving their goal of a fascist global government with a microchipped population.

The centerpieces of the tangibly increased “group understanding” at this meeting, to my perception, were Jeff Wilson’s three presentations. His cohesive, “just the facts” approach to covering the subject of crop circles not only was a key factor in bringing everyone in the group up to speed, but is also a potential future factor in breaking the barrier of ignorance about crop circles in the mainstream media, should his work get wider attention, in my opinion.

The other presenters also gave many valuable contributions to the “group understanding,” as did the numerous conversations between crop circle researchers, many meeting each other for the first time. Also, I was proud to notice that many of the speculations that I brought to the group (in my presentations and personal conversations) were being considered more seriously as options by the increasingly open-minded “regulars,” when compared to the first meeting I attended.

After I left the meeting, I experienced flood of new ideas related to crop circles, which tied in with my experiences at the Indian mounds that I visited as I made my way back to Grand Rapids- ideas which were only made possible by the flood of new information and ideas I exchanged with the other researchers at the ICCRA meeting.

By the time I arrived back home, I felt that I was carrying the heavy burden of several important new insights into the crop circle mystery that needed to be communicated to the public immediately, in order to “protect the message.” I felt that even if just a fraction of my new insights were relevant, then I needed to “spill the beans” sooner than later in order to get the ideas circulating, and to see what kind of feedback it generated.

The biggest thing was the increased strength of my opinion that the group had collectively uncovered, without necessarily everyone involved realizing it, the roots of the first “message” found in crop circles that might centrally connect all crop circles geographically, and which, if fully uncovered, could result in being able to predict which specific fields might be more likely to receive crop circles in the future. In other words, the “crop circle code,” or at least the first central geographic “crop circle code” of which I’m aware, uncovered.

The simplest way to explain this central message, or “code:” “Connect the dots.” More specifically: “alignments of crop circles & ancient earthworks = ley lines.” This is explained fully in my previous posts.

If the geographic “code” uniting all crop circles has been uncovered, could this be shortened as saying “THE crop circle code has been cracked?” Yes or no, depending on one’s interpretation of the meaning of “code cracking,” and assuming that there are no more “unifying messages” that might be found, or might have already been found, connecting all crop circles in some other category beyond geographical context. I can’t assume that, thus the change to the headline.

The other reason for the subtle change to the headline was that the original headline could be easily misconstrued as an official statement from the ICCRA, which it most definitely is not.

My intent in the headline was (and still is) to give credit to the group for whatever I’ve found, since I think that my own progress in crop circle research was only made possible by my interaction with the group over the last 4 years, and the wealth of accurate information and ideas about crop circles that I’ve accumulated as a result. I want to give credit where credit is due.

Furthermore, the idea of finding alignments between ancient earthworks to find ley lines, and to try to see if those alignments beat the odds of “random points,” goes back to the 1920s, when A. Watkins first found some interesting alignments in England and coined the term “ley lines.” As for crop circle alignments: it was Roger Sugden and Jeff Wilson who found the amazing alignments of crop circles in 2004 (listed as Alignment #1 on this thread) and 2005 (Alignment #2 here), plus several more crop circle alignments, which then inspired me to pursue the subject further in my own studies, resulting in this thread.

So, in my view, I am truly “standing on the shoulders of giants” in many ways here. If history proves me to be correct in the many speculations I’ve published on this thread, I would only deserve a very small portion of the “credit.”

I also want to clarify that I do not claim to have “proved” anything on this thread yet- there are still too many “X-Factors” involved to describe the thread as anything more than speculation, or to describe my Google Earth map of alignments as anything more than a work-in-progress. I say this for several reasons:

1) The majority of the earthwork locations I’ve placed onto my map of Michigan (which is my primary “test region” for now) were locations I marked by “eyeballing” the county-level maps found in W.B. Hinsdale’s “Archaeological Atlas Of Michigan.” While I believe I have accurately translated Hinsdale’s markers into Google Map placemarks, I already know that Hinsdale’s maps are not 100% accurate at the “pinpoint level.” For example: Hinsdale uses dots to represent mounds on his map; whenever a mound appears on his map next to a body of water large enough to be also drawn into the map, the edge of the “mound dot” never overlaps the edge of the water body. I think he did this to avoid visually cluttered graphics; I’m guessing that in some cases, the mound was actually located slightly closer to the body of water. Rather than guess which ones may have been closer, I just reproduced Hinsdale’s “dots” where he had them on the map. I decided that even though the accuracy of Hinsdale’s maps was questionable at “pinpoint level,” it was still close enough to use for a test, considering that the distance scale involved is the entire state of Michigan. I do intend to go back later and fine-tune the locations of as many of these Michigan mounds as possible to “pinpoint level” wherever the info is available, but for now, at the time of this writing, my Google Maps of Michigan mound placemarks are mostly the result of “eyeballing” Hinsdale’s maps.

2) I do not yet know for sure whether or not Google Earth is 100% accurate in factoring in the curve of the Earth when users create a “pathway” between two points. However, I do know that it’s close enough for geomancer Peter Champoux to have posted a video on his YouTube page where he tests out several trans-global ley lines on Google Earth, with some very interesting results. However, in the video, he does admit that he does not yet know for sure whether Google Earth is 100% accurate, which frames the video as more of an experimental demonstration. In the video, he demonstrates several mind-blowing (in my opinion) alignments that seem to indicate to me that Google Earth probably is accurate. After seeing his video, I decided, “If Google Earth is good enough for Peter Champoux to use as a test for ley lines, it’s good enough for me to use as a test.” The last thing he says in the video is directed at viewers: “Have fun with Google Earth.” For me, this was the green light to proceed with my own test, using the program to find potential alignments between crop circles and Indian mounds.vLink to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Heo0b8eP4r0

3) The “Hough model” for the likelihood of alignments between random points, which I used as a rough comparison to analyze what I’ve found with my Michigan test area so far, is just that- a rough comparison. If I were to set up a proper test, it would go something like this: I would find, or find someone to create, a computer program that can generate 455 random points over my Michigan test area and then find all the alignments between the points. I would run the program hundreds of times, and then calculate the average number of alignments found. I would then find a professional statistician to analyze these results, comparing them with the number of the alignments the computer finds in my map of the 455 Indian mound and crop circle placemarks in the Michigan test area.

It will be a while until this study is ready for such a test. I think it would be better to wait until every single known specific Indian earthwork location is charted onto a map that covers a larger test area, perhaps an entire area covering Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Southern Ontario, and Michigan. Or, at least the whole Lower Peninsula of Michigan, for a start. Since it’s going to take a lot of work to get to that point, for now I can only offer the Hough model as a good “rough test.”

In summary, the main point of my post today is a reminder that this thread is NOT an official statement from the ICCRA; instead, it represents my personal speculation and viewpoints in many areas involving the unprovable, and things that might be provable but still require much more data to take to that level.

Still, I think what I’ve communicated on this thread so far represents some very promising leads, some of which may represent the cutting edge of some areas of crop circle research, and which are promising enough leads to demand further pursuit. I stand behind what I’ve written in this thread; the purpose of today’s post is to correct any misunderstandings that may have been caused by my poorly worded original headline, or by the emotionally excited tone of my posts.

I’ll conclude this post with two quotes from Jeff Wilson, the ICCRA’s founder and director, describing the concept behind the group. These quotes, as quotes about the ICCRA from the group’s director, ARE “official ICCRA statements” which I think will explain clearly to readers why the group have been open-minded enough to allow me – an opinionated, David Icke-influenced “conspiracy theorist” specializing in the less provable, more speculative areas of crop circle research – to contribute my unique perspective to their yearly meetings.

Quote 1:

”The Independent Crop Circle Researchers' Association [ICCRA] began as a small cooperative group of individuals in the Midwestern United States who have long pursued serious research into the crop circle phenomenon with the principle of open collaboration. This 'team' of researchers has steadily grown in number, and has now included contributions from members of the crop circle research community from around the world. Although all the researchers in this association are considered independent (and thereby retaining individual ownership of their work), the investigative community has recognized that the study of the various complexities and aspects of the crop circle phenomenon are beyond the abilities and resources of any one researcher or local group to study in sufficient depth. Hence, the need for a cooperative association and network dedicated to the widest and freest possible collection and dissemination of crop circle research.

The ICCRA recognizes the need in the research community to collect and make available as much objectively verifiable knowledge and details about crop circles as possible, and so will continue to study and document crop formations using a scientific framework.”

Quote 2:

”Every researcher carries with them their own perspectives, specialties, & research capabilities that they bring to the study of crop circles. The ICCRA believes that no one, single researcher has "the answer", but instead, for progress to be made in this field of study (no pun intended), it takes cooperation and collaboration amongst many researchers with various talents and experiences to, over time, be able to gain a fuller understanding of this complex subject.

Today, I posted many new interesting alignments of crop circles & ancient earthworks on my thread at Google Earth Community. (On the GEC thread, you can download all of the layers necessary to view my Google Earth map of alignments.)

The new post (from 2/7/09) represents the highlights of the alignments I've found in my Google Earth test of the ley line/crop circle connection in the six months since I last posted an update.

Here's the current link to my thread at Google Earth Community:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1116977#Post1116977

If the link doesn't work, Google "crop circle alignments wabun" and you'll find it.

From here on out, I will only be posting the complete details of my numbered alignments on my thread at Google Earth Community, for the following reason: You can always edit your old posts at the Google Earth Community forum, whereas on the David Icke forum, you can only edit your own posts a few days after you post it, the last time I checked. (I'm not complaining; this makes sense, considering the nature of what's being discussed here and the vast number of slick propagandists working for the New World Order who regularly swarm this forum, and the ways in which they might benefit from always being able to edit their old posts.)

Since I sometimes find additional points on a previously posted alignment, and since I've also deleted 5 of the first 24 alignments from the early phase of my test - when I was still fine-tuning my own approach to ley hunting - it makes more sense to save the details of my alignment work for that messageboard rather than repost them here.

However, the David Icke messageboard is one messageboard which I am particularly interested in discussing my crop circle research, as David Icke is one of the biggest influences on my research. So, I'd be very interested in keeping the discussion going on this thread, in light of the new developments.

OK, for those of you who have read this thread, but have not gone as far as to actually download my map and view my alignments, here's an example of one of the new alignments that are described in my new post at Google Earth Community.

I'm calling this alignment the "Rothschild Ley," as one of the points on the alignment is Waddesdon Manor, one of the Rothschild family's palaces. As of this writing, I have noticed 17 definite points on the alignment, which includes 8 earthworks, 3 churches, 3 White Horses, 1 obelisk, 2 crop circles, and Waddesdon Manor:

#B1: "Rothschild Ley"
St. Leonard's Church, Old Warden >
Woburn Abbey >
Waddesdon Manor >
Uffington White Horse >
Uffington Castle hillfort (NW corner) >
Wayland's Smithy >
Barbury Castle hillfort >
7/23/99 crop circle near Barbury Castle >
8/30/07 crop circle near Hackpen Hill >
Hackpen White Horse >
Yatesbury Tumuli >
Tumulus marked "cdot1" >
Cherhill White Horse >
Oldbury Castle hillfort & Landsdowne Monument (same location) >
Tedbury Camp hillfort (S edge) >
Castle Neroche hillfort >
St. Leonard's Church, St. Leonard

While there are several ground features along this alignment which strongly resemble known earthworks, I am not including them in this post, as I won't be able to edit this post a few days from now, unless this forum's system has changed. (I may be adding more points to any of these alignments at a future date.) Here's a graphic of the "Rothschild Ley;" some points on the line in Wiltshire are not visible in this image, as the graphics in that area are too condensed for Google Earth to display all of them. Here it is:

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/B1.jpg
Alignment #B1: "Rothschild Ley"

This is just one of the interesting alignments I have found in the six months since I last posted an update. However, since my thread on Google Earth Community remains the "default" place to read about the details of my alignments for the reasons described in my last post, I have reposted it here only to try to catch the interest of those who may have overlooked this thread due to the scarcity of graphics.

If any of you reading this are skeptical that there's anything worth noting in my alignment work - but have not yet actually downloaded my Google Earth map - please download my map and view all of my alignments, and all of my comments on them on the Google Earth Community thread, before drawing any conclusions.

Once again, here's the link to my thread at Google Earth Community, where you can download all of the layers necessary to view my map, and where you can also read my detailed comments on the alignments:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1201387

And once again, if the link doesn't work (they seem to change on that forum sometimes) Google "crop circle aligments wabun" and you'll find it.

I have some strange news: I may have just been censored by Google Earth Community.

My most recent post on Google Earth Community, from 2/6/09, has disappeared, and the entire thread - including the alignment file attached and any edits I have done to the older posts recently - has reverted to the way it was in December.

On the newly censored (?) version of my thread that they have up there now, the most recent post is my 8/8/08 post, and - strangely - the alignment file attached has been switched back to the "AlignmentCollection120208.kmz" file that I posted there in December.

I can no longer log in with my password; when I request a new temporary password, it gets sent to my email address, but it doesn't work either.

It is entirely possible that all of these problems are caused by a technical problem - caused by a random malfunction or even a hacker - that has affected my thread and/or my account ( coincidentally just days after posting my new material ) and is entirely unbeknownst to the Google Earth Community administrators- which would explain the fact that I have not received any emails with any explanations for these problems from the Google Earth Community administrators.

I think the other most likely possibility (maybe more likely than the first) is that "someone" found something that was "offensive" to them in my post, then found something else in my post that technically violated a forum rule, and then - with GEC's official list of "Do's and Not-Do's" in hand - contacted an administrator at Google Earth Community, who then censored me without bothering to send me an email explaining the reason that my post was censored. This alternate possibility would also explain all of the problems I've described above.

If any of you want to try to figure out what may have "offended" someone enough where the administrators would have gone through the trouble to delete my new post and replace my updated alignment file with the old one, I have reproduced the post here on the David Icke forum, which will be its new "home" if it turns out I am no longer allowed to post on Google Earth Community.

Of the nine entries in the Google Earth Community forum's official "Do's and Not Do's" list (http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=16288&site_id=1#import which is a list of things that can get you censored and/or banned, titled "Things you should NOT DO," there were only two that stood out as rules that I may have technically violated. The latter of the two rules is so ridiculous that it seems that it almost has to be a joke intended to cap off the list - of which only the first 8 would be official rules - with humor. These two rules are:

#1 - Post Political, Religious, Racial, or Sexual material

#9 - Post another "Area 51", "Crop Circle", or "Atomic Bomb Test"

So, I have several questions I'm going to ask the Google Earth Community administrators via email; I'll keep people on this thread informed of the results. Hopefully they'll give me straight answers to the questions, which I will soon reword for their ears via email:

Why was my most recent post removed? Was it a technical problem (despite the fact that the thread looked just fine for several days after I posted it) or did I violate forum rules with its content?

In the case that my post was, in fact, removed due to a violation of forum rules in its content:

If it was the first rule listed above that I violated ( and "political" would be the only one that could even remotely used to label any of the thread's content as a violation of the first rule ) then I think one could say - provided that one were to squint just the right way through blurry glasses - that I technically violated it anywhere from maybe 1 to 4 times. (Is it the part about the "President Bush Ley," the "Rothschild Ley," the "Windsor Ley," the "Mason-Lizard Line," some of the four, or all four ley lines that were in violation of this rule?) The question is: If a violation of Rule #1 is the reason that my post is gone and my password doesn't work, then what are the offending sections, and if I edit these sections so that they are not considered technically "political" by the GEC administrators, will they restore my post?

If the ninth rule on their list (Things you should NOT DO, #9 - Post another "Area 51", "Crop Circle", or "Atomic Bomb Test") is not really a joke: why is a ban on posting crop circle placemarks one of the official Google Earth Community forum rules?

Another question that only applies if the ninth rule on their list is not a joke: is this one of the reasons my post was censored, and if so, why do they only enforce this rule selectively? (Two examples: 1) a user named "Cyclonic," for one, has had a thread there with placemarks for crop circles that are visible in Google Earth titled "Crop Circle Collection" (http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=193700) since 10/29/05, with 387,229 downloads of his .kmz file at the time of this writing; 2) my crop circle thread was posted on 6/26/08, and included a comment posted on the same day from an administrator named "Hill" playing the "skeptic/debunker" role, but was left uncensored until a few days after my 2/6/09 post, which was the first new post I had written for the GEC forum since 8/8/08.)

Why has the alignment file (.kmz) attached to my thread been reverted back to the 12/2/08 version? Was my 2/7/09 update to the file - which contained placemarks and lines, not politics - somehow offensive, too? If my 2/7/09 file was replaced with the old 12/2/08 file as an unintentional, accidental side-effect of my whole thread being "reset" back to its December version by the GEC administrators who only intended to censor my words, not my alignments - will they restore my 2/7/09 .kmz file to the thread when I inform them that the thread has reverted to the older file attachment?

Why am I getting a weird password loop where every time I fill out the "Forgot your password?" form to have a new one sent to my email address, I am sent a new password that doesn't work either?

If I have been banned, will they honor a request that they tell me the specific reason(s) they have banned me, and that they tell me what specific changes I would need to make to my post to have my account and my post restored?

We'll find out soon, as I will be sending them an email in a day or two, so stay tuned...

For those who would like to see proof that it was actually up there, you can still (for now) view the cache of the post in question taken on 2/7/09, the day after I posted it, at:

http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:3OExcZWzOSAJ:bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php%3Fubb%3Dshowflat%26Number%3D1201387 +wabun+crop+alignments&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

(That cache may only work if you're using Firefox; Google "wabun crop circle alignments" and hit the "cache" option if it doesn't work.)

Note: since the time the cache snapshot was taken on 2/7/09, I had corrected several typos and some of the wording, added and subtracted a few placemarks from a few alignments, and added a few brief yet relevant passages of text.

To view the current censored (?) version, follow this link or follow the standard link after Googling "wabun crop circle alignments:"

http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1116977#Post1116977

Unfortunately, the only way I know how to post a Google Earth file (.kmz) online for public download is to post it on the forum at Google Earth Community. (I know that there are plenty of .kmz files posted on other people's websites, but whenever I try to do it on my own (http://scatterdome.com)the file doesn't work. If any of you know how to do it without ending up with a corrupted file, please send me a private message on this forum or an email ( scatterdome@yahoo.com ) and I'll post it on scatterdome.com for public download right away.) So, for now, here's the only two ways you can view my updated map, but it's going to take a little more effort to get it:

First, go to the new "censored" version of my thread and follow the download instructions for all the layers- this will bring you up to date to where I was at on 12-2-08, before I began adding Masonic lodges and British alignments to my file. Here's the link again:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1116977#Post1116977

Next, you can do one of two things:

1) Send me an email at scatterdome@yahoo.com requesting the "AlignmentCollection020709" file, and I will happily send it to your email address. If you've already added the "AlignmentCollection120208" file from the censored version of my thread on Google Earth Community to your Google Earth map, replace it with the one I send you, but keep the other layers of the map intact.

Or,

2) Download the map layers from the censored thread (the "AlignmentCollection120208" attachment, and follow the 5 links to the other layers as described at the beginning of the first post on the thread) and recreate the updates yourself. You'll have to recreate the pathways yourself using the "Add Path" feature on Google Earth, with the information in my post. Many of the British placemarks you'll need can be found at the following links:

So, without further ado, here is my updated post, as it appeared on Google Earth Community right before it was removed. I have broken it up into a few posts due to size limitations. Here's part 1:

================================================== =============================

Part 1/3 (Originally posted on Google Earth Community on 2/6/09)

Since my last post in August, there have been many interesting developments in my alignment test, several of which I’m sharing today.

Two of these new developments involve my Michigan test area:

W.C. Levengood is a significant pioneer in the field of crop circle science; he was the first to develop a scientifically sound system for testing crop formations for anomalies that cannot be recreated with known means. His tests for crop circles include a method for comparing the node lengths of hundreds of grains from inside a formation to the node lengths of a “control group” of hundreds of grains from outside the formation. (Elongated nodes, the “smoking gun” of an authentic crop circle, cannot be duplicated by known methods.) He also developed a test for the less common, lesser-known phenomenon of ice circles: comparing the growth rate of seeds grown with water from inside the ice circle to the growth rate of seeds grown with water from outside the ice circle. To read more about W.C. Levengood, visit the following link: http://iccra.org/levengood/levengood.htm

(Dr. Charles Lietzau, a board member of the ICCRA, was taught these methods by Levengood, and has since refined some of these methods into a process he calls the Levengood Node Elongation Analysis Test, or L-NEAT for short. Read Lietzau’s article on crop circle science and the L-NEAT process at the following link: http://www.swirlednews.com/article.asp?artID=541 )

Back in September, I noticed that Jeff Wilson had begun to post the archive of Levengood’s crop circle field reports on the new ICCRA website, iccra.org. I found that the archive contained reports of many crop formations of which I was previously unaware. Link to the “reports” page here: http://iccra.org/reports.htm

Among those reports, there were several reports of formations in Michigan which Levengood had tested and found to be authentic. Among those Michigan reports, there were some that contained enough information for me to pinpoint the locations of three randomly downed formations (RDFs) and 1 ice circle to a close enough level of accuracy where I could add them to my map:

a repeat occurrence of an RDF in Napoleon, discovered on 7/19/93 and 7/2/94.
http://www.iccra.org/levengood/CircleScans3/ResearchReport28-17Oct1994-variousMI.pdf

an RDF in Grass Lake, discovered on 7/5/94.
http://www.iccra.org/levengood/CircleScans3/ResearchReport28-17Oct1994-variousMI.pdf

an RDF near Bad Axe, discovered on 9/28/95.
http://www.iccra.org/levengood/CircleScans/ResearchReport45-25Nov1995-BadAxeMI.pdf

An ice circle in Liberty Township, discovered on 12/18/03.
http://www.iccra.org/levengood/CircleScans2/ResearchReportLaboratoryCodeKS-06-30-28Feb2004-HortonMI.pdf

When I added these four locations to my map and searched for new alignments, I exceeded my own expectations (and defied the odds of random alignments found in the Hough model described in my 8/8/08 post) by finding 2 new 7-point alignments and 6 new 6-point alignments:

#49: 6 mounds & 1 crop formation:
Grass Lake, MI RDF 7/5/94
mound, Grass Lake, MI
2 mounds, Pearson, MI
5 mounds, Volney, MI
mound, Troy Twp., MI
mound, Eden Twp., MI
mound, Hamlin Lake, MI

note the proximity to this line of another marker for a mound site in Volney, and a marker for 2 mounds in North Leslie.

#50: 6 mounds & 1 ice circle:
mounds (unknown number), Ivanhoe, MI
mound, Fostoria, MI
3 mounds, Argentine, MI
mound, Argentine, MI
mound, Leoni, MI
12/28/03 Liberty Township ice circle
mound, Camden, MI

Note the close proximity of 2 different markers for mound sites near Otisville to this line.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/MichiganIceCircle1a.jpg
the 12/28/03 ice circle in Mud Lake, in Liberty Township, MI

#51: 5 mounds & 1 crop formation:
ring earthwork, New Baltimore, MI
Grass Lake, MI RDF 7/5/94
mounds (unknown number), South Butler, MI
mound, Coldwater, MI
3 mounds, Mattison, MI
mound, White Pigeon, MI

Note the close proximity of the marker for a ring earthwork in Homer (marked as "vague" in Hinsdale's atlas, indicating its location is approximated) and a second mound location in Mattison.

#52: 5 mounds & 1 crop formation:
mound, Oak Shade Park, MI
Napoleon, MI RDF 7/19/93 and 7/2/94
ring earthwork, North Leslie, MI
mound, Lakeview, MI
mounds (unknown number), Lakeview, MI
2 mounds, Little Manistee, MI

#53: 5 mounds & 1 crop formation:
mound, Bay City, MI
4 mounds, Spaulding Twp., MI
3 mounds, Antrim, MI
mound, Waterloo, MI
Grass Lake, MI RDF 7/5/94
mounds (unknown number), Medina, MI

#54: 4 mounds & 2 crop formations:
Bad Axe, MI RDF 9/28/95
mound, Argentine, MI
mounds (unknown number), Howell, MI
Howell, MI 7/03 and 9/06
mound, Waterloo, MI
mound, Grass Lake, MI

Note the close proximity of a marker for a mound in Millington to this line.

#55: 5 mounds & 1 crop formation:
Bad Axe, MI RDF 9/28/95
mound, Bridgeport, MI
4 mounds, Spaulding Twp., MI
4 mounds, Duplain, MI
2 mounds, Richland, MI
mound, Dayton, MI

Note the close proximity of markers for 9 mounds and a ring earthwork in Sumnerville, 2 mounds in Pokagon, 4 mounds in Richland, a mound in Duplain, and another mound in Bridgeport.

#56: 5 mounds & 1 crop formation:
Bad Axe, MI RDF 9/29/95
4 mounds, Saginaw, MI
mound, Eureka, MI
mounds (unknown number), Eureka, MI
mounds (number unknown), Otsego, MI
3 mounds, Lawrence, MI

Note the close proximity of the marker for a mound in Gilford Township to this line.

Interestingly, the RDF in Napoleon was only ¼ mile from the center of alignment #25, which is the alignment that matches up with the bottom line of the pentagon in the Great Lakes Biome as mapped out by Peter Champoux, as described in my 8/8/08 post. Considering that 1) Nobody knows how wide ley lines are, 2) any line that is part of the “Great Lakes Pentagon” is likely a particularly strong ley line, and that 3) 3-way intersections of alignments – both perfect and “almost-perfect” - seem to be common on my map, it might be appropriate to potentially consider alignment #25 as having been upgraded to a 7-point alignment by the Napoleon RDF:

#25: 6 mounds & 1 crop formation
mounds (unknown number), Hamtramck, MI >
1 mound, Ann Arbor, MI >
(Napoleon, MI RDF 7/19/93 and 7/2/94) >
1 ring earthwork, Homer, MI >
mounds (unknown number), Girard, MI >
1 ring earthwork, Colon, MI >
1 mound, Dayton, MI

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/ChampouxPentagonAlignments.jpg
Alignment #25 and other mounds from the Michigan test area aligned with 3 lines of the pentagon inside the Great Lakes Biome

The addition of 3 RDFs and 1 ice circle to my map brought the total number of seven-point alignments in my test area up from 5 to either 7 or 8, depending on whether the Napoleon RDFs are considered part of alignment #25. This figure, combined with the 3 eight-point alignments (#26, #28 & #29) seem to beat the odds when roughly compared to the results of the Hough test.

With 400 random points, the Hough test found 2.3 seven-point alignments and 0.3 eight-point alignments on average; my test area contains about 460 points, so the questions are: 1)Am I beating the odds or matching them? 2) Do any of you readers know if a Hough test has been done with 450 or 500 points, and if so, where can I find it? (I’m really asking; I haven’t tried to figure out the math yet, and I don’t know if there is an equation one can do on paper to arrive at an average number of alignments for 460 points- an actual “Hough test” done on a computer might be the only way to find this number.) So far, in my Michigan test area I have found 7 (minimum) seven-point alignments and 3 eight-point alignments with about 460 points to work with, and two of the seven-point alignments were found by adding a mere 4 additional points to the map.

Another factor to consider: all of the alignments that I have found in my Michigan test area so far were found somewhat sporadically, since my default technique for finding alignments consists of setting the start-point of a path on a ground feature (crop circle, Indian mound, etc.) with Google Earth’s “add path” feature, zooming out to a larger view, and then looking for alignments with my bare eyes by dragging the end-point of the line around the map to see if anything matches up.

However, I have not yet tested out all of the 460 placemarks in my Michigan area this way, so it is possible that I have missed a few 6-point or even 7-point alignments that already exist in the test area, waiting to be noticed.

The other development in my Michigan map that I’m sharing today is my discovery of an alignment which I’m calling the “Mason-Lizard Line.” Recently, I added the locations of all the active Masonic lodges in my Michigan test area (taken from the Michigan Masons’ official website) to my Google Earth file. I quickly discovered that there are 7 Masonic lodges in a virtually straight line across Michigan, about 120 miles long. If the line is extended across Lake Michigan, it hits Lizard Mound in Young America, WI dead on!

Hinsdale’s marker for the mounds in Austin Corners, MI also falls directly on this line. His marker for 6 mounds in Grattan, MI is about 1000 feet from the center of the line, so it’s possible that at least one of the 6 mounds was actually on the line. So, this could be considered either a 9-point or 10-point alignment of Indian mounds and Mason lodges:

mounds (unknown number), Austin Corners, MI >
North Newburg Lodge No. 161 >
St Johns-Ovid Lodge No. 105 >
Belding-Ionia Lodge No. 355 >
(6 mounds, Grattan, MI) >
Rockford Lodge No. 246 >
Sparta Lodge No. 334 >
Lisbon-Crescent Lodge No. 229 >
Muskegon Lodge No. 140 >
Lizard Mound, Young America, WI
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/Mason-LizardLine2009.jpg
The “Mason-Lizard” Line

Interestingly, three of the 7 lodges directly on this line also fall very close to a few of my numbered Michigan alignments. Belding-Ionia Lodge #355 is about 1000 feet from the center of Alignment #49, an alignment of 6 mounds & 1 crop formation. Rockford Lodge #246 is about 1000 feet from the center of Alignment #34, an alignment of 5 mounds & 1 crop formation. St. John’s-Ovid Lodge #105 is about 2000 feet from the center of Alignment #29, an alignment of 8 mounds.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/Mason-LizardLine2009walignments.jpg
The “Mason-Lizard Line” with Alignments #29, #34 and #49

Below are two images that illustrate why I think the “Mason-Lizard” line defies the “Hough test” odds, provided that the Hough test is a valid test of alignments found between randomly generated points, worthy of use for a rough comparison.

The first image isolates a square area around the 7 lodges, where the north border is the north border of Mason, Lake, Osceola, Clare, and Arenac Counties, and the south border is the south border of Allegan, Barry, Eaton, Ingham, and Livingston Counties. In this square area, there are 97 active Masonic lodge locations:
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/masonsquaren.jpg

The next image moves the square down one row of counties, covering a more populous area; the north border in this image is the north border of Oceana, Newaygo, Mecosta, Isabella, and Midland Counties, and the south border is the south border of Van Buren, Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Jackson, and Washtenaw Counties. In this square area, there are 113 active Masonic lodge locations:
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/MasonsquareS.jpg

So, if the “Hough test” can be used for a rough comparison, the 7-point alignment of lodges in the “Mason-Lizard” line beats the odds, as any variation of a square area drawn around these 7 lodges will contain around 100 lodges. With around 100 “random points” in a square area, I shouldn’t even be finding any 6-point alignments, according to the “Hough” test. (The question here is whether the lodges that are slightly off-center of the line count as part of the alignment.)

Now, considering all that, I wonder what the odds are that on top of this, this same line would also include 2 or 3 Indian mound locations.

In my updated .kmz file (“AlignmentCollection020709”), I have included a folder of the locations of all the active Masonic lodges in my Michigan test area; activate the folder to view all of them and you’ll notice that many of these lodges are located on or very near Indian mound/crop circle alignments that I have already found.

Geomancer Peter Champoux has found a growing body of evidence that one of the (former) secrets of the higher-level Freemasons is their knowledge of the Earth’s ley line grid. Champoux has found many roads and cities which key perfectly into significant ley lines, which he has consistently found to have been planned/engineered by known Freemasons. In his book “The Gaia Matrix,” Champoux devotes a whole chapter to this subject, titled “The Masonic Age.” To read a lo-fi version of this chapter on Google Books for free, click the following link:
http://books.google.com/books?id=Q_ZHw-R7rL4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=gaia+matrix#PPA126,M1

Author David Icke has also been a major influence on my research into the crop circle mystery, despite the fact that he rarely addresses the subject of crop circles himself. (My research is heavily influenced by his interpretation of many subjects closely related to the crop circle mystery.) Like Champoux, Icke believes that the highest-ranking Freemasons are aware of the Earth’s ley line grid. However, he also has written extensively about a deep connection between Freemasonry and royalty, and he has published extensive evidence that Freemasonry has always functioned – among other things - as a vehicle for people of royal descent to be secretly promoted into high positions of power in society.

This brings me to the next item of discussion:

Part 2/3 (originally posted on Google Earth Community on 2/6/09)

“Traditional” ley hunters generally agree that ancient earthworks, churches and colleges are key markers for ley lines. While castles are sometimes included in “traditional” ley lines, the broader category to which I think castles belong in regards to being ley markers – “Masonic/royal site,” which also includes obelisks, Masonic lodges, homes of royalty in general, and other markers associated with Freemasonry and royalty – is usually neglected by the “old school.”

Crop circles tend to be ignored by many “old school/mainstream” ley hunters altogether:

Leyhunter.com, the official website of the “Ley Hunter’s Journal,” goes as far to include a page where they attempt, via weak “straw man” arguments that conflict with the facts, to debunk the whole crop circle mystery as the work of human hoaxers:
http://www.leyhunter.com/begin/be7.htm

Paul Devereux, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts whose work has been featured in Freemasonry Today, has written many books over the years on the subject of ley lines and sacred places. He was the editor of the Ley Hunter’s Journal from 1976 to 1996, and is considered to be the world’s leading “expert” on ley lines by some people, including himself:

”While there are certainly individuals considerably more informed than me on specialist areas of alignment research, such as archaeologists studying lines in the Americas, or ‘Earth Mysteries’ colleagues researching mediaeval alignment patterns, I am quite confident that – through the accidents of fate rather than any innate ability on my part – no one has currently a greater comprehensive knowledge of the whole field of ancient alignments than myself, nor (perhaps even more importantly) the fallacies inherent within it.”
- from page 11 of Shamanism And The Mystery Lines by Paul Devereux, 1993

During the time that Devereux was the editor of The Ley Hunter’s Journal, he explicitly denied a connection between crop circles and ley lines, as described in this passage from pages 349-350 of Alexandria I by Dave Fideler:

Paul Devereux, editor of The Ley Hunter, writes in the Randles-Fuller book that he is “certainly against the idea that these features (crop circles) are anything to do with leys (or ‘ley lines’ as some people incorrectly call them).” Yet he admits that the unique Leicestershire circle of 1988 occurred on a 3-church alignment. As for the concentration of crop circles around Avebury, he calls it “a major coincidence.”

Read the above passage on Google Books at the following link:
http://books.google.com/books?id=KEDeiEhX-i8C&pg=PA347&lpg=PA347&dq=fideler+devereux&source=bl&ots=kGH0-jYuHF&sig=aKhX_hZIiX0EQ9l1pdFRjEz8KqI&hl=en&ei=JOaMSYXSI4TSMZvD2KIL&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA349,M1

In December, I had a hunch that I might find some interesting alignments in England. Ironically, this hunch was inspired by reading maps and descriptions of traditional ley lines on leyhunter.com and in the first few chapters of Shamanism & The Mystery Lines. The irony is in the fact that the British alignments that I have found so far – which were found in a process that was inspired and fine-tuned by the catalogue of traditional leys that are so well described by Devereux and leyhunter.com - seem to defy the odds of “random alignments” so much that the limitations put on ley hunting by some traditional ley hunters, including Devereux and leyhunter.com, now seem discredited.

In contrast with the “old school” gatekeepers of ley line research, I think the missing links needed to find a more complete map of the Earth’s ley lines are 1) the overall framework for ley lines described by Peter Champoux, and 2) certain other categories of “neglected ley markers” (in addition to the traditional earthworks, churches, colleges and castles) which I think are consistently located at the intersections of ley lines: crop circles and Masonic/royal locations in general. (And, in the case of Great Britain, the mysterious “white horses” carved into hillsides- not just the 3,000-year old Uffington Horse, which is acknowledged by some “traditional” ley hunters, but the newer horses as well.)

One thing that is important to note: for several years, much of the British crop circle research community has somehow been lulled into a philosophy best described as: “it doesn’t matter which crop circles are real- don’t test them, just enjoy them as beautiful art, and just enjoy them as a mystery that will (romantically) never be solved.” As a result of the spread this philosophy and as a result of much of the division the British crop circle research community has suffered from this and other factors, only a fraction of British crop circles are tested with consistent scientific methodology these days.

Meanwhile, paid teams of expert hoaxers – one of which was found to be funded by the Rockefellers, as described by crop circle researcher Freddy Silva in his book Secrets In The Fields – are rampant, especially in the original “ground zero” for crop circles: Northeastern Wiltshire, where crop circles have become a huge tourist industry.

As a result, the authenticity of many British crop circles from the last decade is unknown, including many that I’m about to describe from by British alignment test. However, while the opportunity to test many of these formations has been lost to time, the inclusion of some of them on the following alignments may offer a clue as to the likelihood of their authenticity. (The Rockefellers may have access to the Earth’s ley line map, but they wouldn’t want their hoaxer employees to help give away an accurate ley line map to the public, would they? After all, knowledge is power…)

I think that one of the primary reasons that the area around Stonehenge in Wiltshire was the original “hot spot” for authentic crop circles in the world is that there are so many visibly aligned earthworks in the area that the region represents a key to the ley line map, and that the makers of genuine crop circles, intending to give the Earth’s ley line map to the public, know that the large concentration of visible earthworks in the area makes the region is a perfect microcosm of ley lines in general.

This may explain one of the reasons why the most skilled teams of hoaxers also focus on the same region these days- their funders, including the Rockefellers, may be intentionally “muddying the waters” of information that the makers of genuine crop circles are attempting to communicate to the public.

The same region described above also contains the largest concentration of “White Horses-“ mysterious horse figures etched into hillsides all over Britain. The oldest of the White Horses, the Uffington Horse, is at least 3,000 years old; the rest of the surviving horses were all created between the early 18th century and the present day. Information on the roots and meaning of this tradition is scant; I personally think that many (if not all) of the White Horses are also ley markers- not just the ancient Uffington Horse. Read about the White Horses here: http://wiltshirewhitehorses.org.uk/index.html

So, all of these factors should be considered when viewing the next batch of alignments. I’ll start with 5 most interesting alignments that I have found crossing through the Wiltshire area:

#B1: “Rothschild Ley” - 8 or 9 earthworks, 3 churches, 3 White Horses, 1 palace, 1 obelisk & 2 crop circles
(possible earthwork E of East Ruston, Norfolk) >
St. Leonard Church, Old Warden >
Woburn Abbey >
Waddesdon Manor >
Uffington White Horse >
Uffington Castle hillfort (NW corner) >
Wayland's Smithy >
Barbury Castle hillfort >
7/23/99 crop circle near Barbury Castle >
8/30/07 crop circle near Hackpen Hill, Wiltshire >
Hackpen White Horse >
Yatesbury Tumuli >
Tumulus marked "cdot1" >
Cherhill White Horse >
Oldbury Castle hillfort & Landsdowne Monument (same location) >
Tedbury Camp hillfort (S edge) >
Castle Neroche hillfort >
St. Leonard's Church, St. Leonard

Note that this line runs very close to the church in East Ruston, St. Peter's Church in Merton, Castle Mound in Whitchurch, the 6/1/08 and 7/27/08 (Wayland's Smithy) crop circles, and the 6/9/01 crop circle- which has an "echo" visible in the Google Earth satellite photo from 2002.

Alignment #B1, the “Rothschild Ley”

Alignment #B1 crossing through Wiltshire

Alignment #B1 passing over a possible earthwork near East Ruston, Norfolk

Waddesdon Manor was built between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). The Rothschilds, of course, are one of the world’s most powerful royal bloodlines, and certainly one of the wealthiest. (Thus, I’m calling alignment #B1 the “Rothschild Ley.”)

One quote from Peter Champoux about a ley line in New England may give some insight into a running theme illustrated by this ley line:

“The President Bush Ley is so named because it exits to the sea through the Bush Family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. This ley links Mount Mansfield, Moosilauke, and Ossippee. It is my opinion that this ley line is the reason why this family has such hypnotic power on the American public. The rich and powerful do gravitate to such places of earth energy.”

Read Champoux’s article on the President Bush Ley here:
http://www.geometryofplace.com/images/sitepdf/moosilauke.pdf

The Lansdowne Monument, an obelisk situated inside Oldbury Hillfort in the middle of crop circle country in Wiltshire, also has a strong Royal/Masonic connection. Obelisks have been used as a symbol of the masculine since the days of ancient Egypt, notably by the Freemasons. This particular obelisk was erected in 1845 by the Third Marquis of Lansdowne to commemorate his ancestor Sir William Petty (1623-1687), the “father of modern statistics” and a founding member of the Royal Society , which was“virtually a Masonic subsidiary” according to author John J.Robinson. (Note: William Petty’s great-grandson, the 1st Marquis of Lansdowne, was a British Prime Minister.)

In August 2008, crop circle researcher Bert Janssen discovered a different alignment involving the Lansdowne Monument and a crop circle. Read about it here:
http://www.cropcirclesandmore.com/thoughts/200806chc.html

( In the updated .kmz file attached to this post, under the folder named “CERN alignment,” I have included Janssen’s alignment, as well as a possible “fine-tuned” version of the alignment that I found by slightly adjusting the line to fit a major UVG intersection in southeastern France. I will write more about this alignment at a later date, rather than in today’s post. For those of you who would like to view the alignment in its proper context, make sure you add the UVG layer to your Google Earth map. Download Bethe Hagens’ file of the UVG Grid here: http://www.vortexmaps.com/hagens-grid-google.php )

The next alignment continues the theme:

#B2: “Windsor Ley” - 4 or 5 earthworks, 1 church, 1 college , 2 castles, 1 obelisk, 1 crop circle
Tower of London >
Windsor Castle >
Barrow Farm Tumulus >
West Kennet Tumuli >
Silbury Hill >
2002 crop circle SW of Beckhampton, Wiltshire, visible in Google Earth >
North Down Round Barrows >
(possible earthwork SE of Sandy Lane, Wiltshire) >
St. Mary The Virgin Church, Bath >
Obelisk at Queens Square, Bath >
Bath Spa College

Note the close proximity of the ancient Parish Church of St. Andrew, Chew Magna to alignment #B2.

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w122/Scatterdome/B2angle.jpg
Alignment #B2, “Windsor Ley”

The following text is from the House of Windsor article on Wikipedia:

The House of Windsor is the current Royal House of the United Kingdom and each of the other Commonwealth realms. The royal house was founded by George V by a royal proclamation in 1917. The House of Windsor remains on of the few dynasties to have ruled over lands on all continents of the world simultaneously. The current head of the House of Windsor is Elizabeth II, the reigning monarch over the Commonwealth realms.

Windsor Castle, of course, is the home of the Windsors. The oldest part of the castle complex, the “Round Tower,” was built from 1070 to 1086 by William the Conqueror, who also built the Tower of London.

Part 3/3 (originally posted on Google Earth Community on 2/6/09)

#B3: 3 earthworks, 3 churches, 1 college , 3 castles, 1 palace, 1 Masonic hall, 1 crop circle
Helmsley Castle >

Note the close proximity of the 6/24/07 and 6/29/07 crop circles to this line. Also, note the fork in the road SE of Wasperton, and the parallel road SSE of Great Rissington.

The design of the gardens at Warwick Castle seems to outline this alignment very conspicuously, as seen in this image:

Note that the "White Horse" Pub in Silverstone, Towcester is also precisely on this line.

The last group of alignments for today’s post is a collection of four well-established, “classic” ley lines on which - by reproducing them exactly and then extending their trajectory with Google Earth - I have found several crop circles lying precisely on the line. Some of these crop circles are actually visible in Google Earth, as they were captured on the satellite photo currently used by Google.

Markers that I have added to supplement the original leys are indicated with an asterisk (*) .

#C1: the “Stonehenge - Avebury Ley,” extended to include 3-5 crop circles & 1 white horse
(Originally discovered in 1846 by Reverend Edward Duke)
Stonehenge >
tumulus at Durrington Down >
Casterley Camp HIllfort >
* Alton Barnes White Horse >
* 6/28/07 crop circle(next to West Kennett Long Barrow >
West Kennett Long Barrow >
* 4/19/08 crop circle just south of Avebury Circle >
* 2003 “jingjang” crop circle (visible in Google Earth 5.0 in 2003 photo) just south of Avebury Circle >
Avebury Circle (center)

Note the close proximity of the 5/4/08 and 6/7/07 crop circles (both NE of Stanton St. Bernard) to this line; they might also be considered part of the alignment.

Note: For reference, I have reproduced four other “classic” British ley lines in the .kmz file attached to the bottom of the first post on this thread:
Cambridge Ley - http://www.leyhunter.com/archives/tlh17.htm
Avebury Ley - http://www.leyhunter.com/archives/tlh14.htm
Old Sarum Ley -http://www.leyhunter.com/archives/tlh12.htm
St. Michael Ley – http://educate-yourself.org/zsl/stmichaelleyline03aug07.shtml

In particular, the idea that 4 crop circles visible in Google Earth would match up perfectly with 4 of the world’s most famous/”established” ley lines seems to severely beat the odds of “random alignments.” Considering that the number of “classic leys” identified in England is only around the lower double digits (to my knowledge, which is a relevant point here) and that there’s only 23 crop circles visible in Google Earth in England of which I’m aware at the time of this writing (and which I didn't filter out due to their questionably ragged appearance) - 18 from Cyclonic’s “Crop Circle Collection” file posted here on Google Earth Community, 2 which I found thanks to the new “Historical Imagery” feature in Google Earth 5.0, and 3 trace remainders, or “echoes,” of 2001 formations - visible in Google’s 2002 photos - which I spotted as I was working on Wiltshire.

One more thing:

I have mentioned my membership in the ICCRA on this thread partly to give credit where it is due: it was the alignment work of ICCRA Board members Jeff Wilson and Roger Sugden which inspired me to pursue this test; also, many pieces of information that I learned about crop circles by attending the last three annual ICCRA meetings have been crucial to my research.

However, I certainly do not speak for the ICCRA, and many of my views on crop circles and related subjects are not universally shared by all of the group’s diverse membership at this moment in time.

But, I have a feeling that many more ICCRA members will soon be on board with more of my views on crop circles, once they’ve spent some time with the newest updates to this test map.

I think that the alignment test on this thread may represent a contribution to the growing collection of evidence that the “geographic crop circle code” and the Earth’s ley line map, as I speculate on this thread, are one and the same.

[wabun]

It looks like I've resolved the problem with Google Earth Community for the time being.

Though I still can't log in to Google Earth Community with my "wabun" account, I was able to create a separate account under the username "Scatterdome."

Apparently, a “technical problem” was the reason that my post reverted back to the way it was in December, and also the reason my "Wabun" account is inaccessible.

On 2/12, at 12:26 PM, an administrator of GEC's user forum, Lrae, posted a new thread explaining that the recent downtime resulted in the accidental removal of some recent posts and the loss of some members' registrations:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1199036&an=39#Post1199036

In the post, he explains:

“ As most of you know, last night, Feb. 11th, the Google Earth Community went down for a few hours, when it reappeared time had shifted to Jan. 23rd, then this morning California time, it jumped ahead to Feb. 3rd.

The explanation:

Last night one of our engineers (me) was doing an SQL search in the database, and created a search that unfortunately forced SQL into an endless loop. No problem, just restart the server... but then the problem showed up. The backup server thought it needed to move the current backup to the main server. (bad but still only a few hours should be lost). Except it was then discovered that the software controlling the backup server had hung on Jan. 23rd and this was not noticed. (steps are being taken to prevent that from occurring again.) Searching other areas, this morning we found a single backup from Feb. 3rd and it was decided to restore to that backup... this reduced the total lost time from 20 days to only 10.

This experience has helped make the backup function more responsive and less likely to fail again.

We are very sorry for any lost posts and member registrations.

Lrae”

Sorry if I sounded a little paranoid in the beginning of my first 2/12 post, everybody... I didn't mean to scare anyone. However, given the timing of the problem and the heavy nature of the updates I had posted ("Rothschild Ley," "Windsor Ley," etc), I don't think anyone can blame me for speculating along the "possible censorship" route!

(Who knows, maybe the whole "downtime" they experienced - and the resulting technical difficulties Lrae describes - was the result of hackers whose intent was to provide a “cover story” to remove my account and my post for a few days – or permanently, were I to “give up” - to buy some time, during which I might hurt my credibility with “paranoid” speculations on censorship posted on messageboards. Naahh... I'll only continue to speculate on that angle if my new account and my re-post disappears as well. OK, that’s enough - I'll take off my "tin foil hat" now... sorry, folks...)

Anyway, my thread at GEC is once again the default place to read about my alignment updates and to download the various layers of my Google Earth map of alignments. (Note: the current .kmz file of alignments, "AlignmentCollection020709," is attached to my first 2/13 post as "Scatterdome;" ignore the "AlignmentCollection120208" file attached to the first post on the thread.) Here's the current link:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1116977#Post1116977

Or, if the link changes as it frequently does, google "wabun crop circle alignments" or and you'll find it.

Since it's too late to edit the last post:

I forgot one important detail. David Kingston's name should be part of the "South" list next to Paul Vigay's, as "Paul Vigay/David Kingston," as they were prominent crop circle researchers who died within the same 24-hour period. Both deaths were announced on 2/20/09.

On Vigay's "Crop Circle Web Ring," a list of dozens of crop circle websites (including my essay on the Howell crop circles) that Vigay endorsed, Kingston's site is listed second after Vigay's.

Kingston was an elderly man who died of cancer, whereas Vigay was a 44-year old man whose body was found washed ashore on a beach.

Chew on that for a while.

Rest assured, they will BOTH be helping crop circle researchers (and consequently, everybody else in the world) from the other side.

2009 is going to be a very interesting year for crop circles.

The winds are blowing FASTER AND FASTER.

From a 2/23/09 article on Time magazine's website:

"On Feb. 17, the 100th anniversary of Geronimo's death, descendants of the Apache warrior filed a federal lawsuit against the secretive Skull and Bones society of Yale University demanding that the group — which it claims is in possession of Geronimo's remains — return them to his family. 'I believe strongly from my heart that his spirit was never released,' Geronimo's great-grandson Haryln Geronimo, 61, told the National Press Club."

This may not make a lot of sense; im tripping to communicate this:
My inhabitant was horrified that id figure this out and communicate it because it’s a major communication tool that only applies to this transitional period in evolution: the key to communication is that if we learn to identify and make fun of each way our inhabitant GETS INTO us through our reptilian brains AS WELL AS I DID WITH Osoris =Dickead andIsis = ?? Saggy tits (not as good as dickead)… scaly tits (not as good).. hmmm , AND GIVE IT A NICKNAME BASED ON HOW DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE REPTILIANS THEMSELVES IN THIS TRANSITIONAL PERIOD PRE 2012, especially how male-female play off each other, then we will overcome communication barriers with love and humor. A thunderbird\ has to experience possession himself to be able to gently teach people to exorcise their own, with help from each other. (Go down spiral staircase clockwise, with ladybird above her and me below, and come back w possessed person counterclockwise to bring her back up. Reptilians need love more than anyone because they’ve been caufght in this loop without the means to get out because their brains are too deeply reptilian; we humans must teach others to love them for teaching this lesson. --- wabun thunderbird

Aggression (too faR ONE DIRECTOIN)= Zep = Osiris = Dickhead
OTHER END OF SPECTURM Grateful dead = ?
Ocd?

WHAT ELSE?

WHATOTHER NICKNAMES CAN WE COME UP? CAUSE THIS IS A (NOT THE ONLY ONE, AND RELAX THE SPIRITS GRANDMA AND GRANPDPA WILL COMMUNICATE THIS THROUGH CROP CIRCLES IF THEY MURDER ME FOR BEING About to send this email)

[Ian2day]

It's interesting that you mention about reptillians abducting people to colonise plan B planets. As I was asked last year if I wanted my own planet in a dream I was having.

[wabun]

Don't worry, folks- I'm OK. Just to clear things up, I wasn't tripping when I wrote that- I was possessed. (I'm not joking- I'll write more about that later.)

Here's what I was trying to say:

I believe I have come up with a unique, effective and simple framework for identifying the presence of inhabiting reptilian entities in one's self and in others. This framework is inspired and influenced by traits traditionally associated with the Thunderbird, which is why I think they will be effective for some people in clearing out Serpent entities. These traits: humor and love.

My idea: if you come up with nicknames based on the various openings in the reptilian brain by which parasitic reptilian entities latch on to people and influence (and in more severe cases, control) the thoughts and emotions of the host, it will provide a simple and tangible means for the host to consciously block these openings without feeling fear, while letting the entity know its presence has been identified and that the host is in the process of blocking every route by which it might try to get in. (Note: Several of these routes are related to the reptilians' favorite trick of blocking communication between two hosts.)

If these nicknames are spoken aloud by a host who 1) understands that we should love these parasitic entities for teaching us lessons we could not learn otherwise, and who 2) has made it clear that the parasite is not welcome, it will work. (It will work for many people, anyway, though most people may need more than this system (outside help) to clear the entity - or a different system altogether.)

Important note: part of the reason that the Thunderbird trumps the Serpent is because the Thunderbird is unpredictable, while the Serpent is predictable due to its attachment to repetition and ritual. If you use only the nicknames on my list, it will become a repetitive ritual, and thus puts the ball back in the Serpent's court. This is only a “starter pack;” it is essential for anyone trying to use this system that they try to come up with multiple creative and humorous nicknames (as well as “favorite quotes”) for each trait on their own, to stay true to the unpredictable and humorous nature of the Thunderbird.

Here's my “starter pack” list of nicknames:

Trait Nickname (male/female) Favorite quote(s)

aggression: Dickhead / Dicktits “Get out of my way!” / “AAARGH!”

conspiring: Scalyhead / Scalytits “What you don't know can't hurt you” / “Ignorance is bliss”

laziness: Droopyhead / Droopytits “I'm too tired”

incoherence: Mumblyhead / Mumblytits “mbzum phm” / “jhgnap puh” / etc.

fear: Spookyhead / Spookytits “I'm scared” / “Be very afraid”

ritual/repetition/OCD*: Re-Pete / Repetits “Repeat”

ritual/repetition/OCD*: Re-Pete / Repetits “Repeat”

not paying attention: Spacehead / Spacetits “Huh?”

blocking communication: Blockhead / Blockytits “I don't want to know”

alcoholism: Boozehead / Boozytits - burp -

confusion: (any ideas?) “Where am I?”

The following joke is supplemental to the “ritual/repetition” listing:

Pete and repeat were on a boat. Pete fell off. Who is left? (Re-Pete.)
Pete and repeat were on a boat. Pete fell off. Who is left? (Re-Pete.)
etc.

So that's my list. I'll write more about it later.

------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a couple other ideas for this post which I'll put simply now, and elaborate on later.


4 Communication Tips

1.Writing = good for intellectual clarity and detail, but less emotional and slow to create

2.Phone communication = good for speed & emotion, but difficult to convey visual ideas or detailed intellectual ideas

3.Communication in person = usually better than #2, often better than #1.

4.Exclusively communicating in just one of the first 3 can lead to communication breakdowns; mix it up if that happens!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Old = pyramid-shaped government
New = Wheel/gear-shaped government

Old = square/cube-shaped houses
New = dome-shaped houses

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for today; for now, I'm going back to the crisis home where I've been staying for the last few days, as the library is shutting down.

Immediately after I wrote that last post, I fled my home and literally confronted and struggled with my inhabitant for control of my body and mind in a public place to avoid death- thus, my 3-day stay at a crisis home. I'll detail that story soon, when I have more time.

For those of you reading this who might not yet understand what this has to do with crop circles, I'll also elaborate on that later.

[wabun]

I've updated the Michigan section of my alignment file to include 16 more alignments of Indian mounds, crop circles and Masonic lodges, as well as 7 alignments that are more experimental/outside of the original parameters of the test, and 7 of Doug Masselink's Indian mound alignments which I have approximated from diagrams found on 2 websites featuring his alignments:
http://www.leyhunter.com/archives/michigan.htm
http://books.google.com/books?id=8Rv64wjtnnoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=weird+michigan#PPA35,M1

As an experiment, I've also included placemarks in the Michigan test area for perfect 3-way intersections of alignments, Odd Fellows lodges, and allegedly haunted sites- the latter of which I have yet to filter out all of the sites of dubious stories from the genuinely haunted sites. (My next update will undoubtedly have more of those filtered out.)

The British section of my file now includes an almost complete collection of the locations of British crop circles that have appeared since 1978, mostly taken from Bert Janssen's website. ( www.cropcirclesandmore.com ) So far, I have filtered out many of the ones that are either known to be hoaxes or that look like hoaxes, though there are likely several that I haven't yet filtered out. (Among these newly added crop circles, 38 are visible in Google Earth, thanks to the "Historical Imagery" upgrade in Google Earth 5.0.) I have also added placemarks for all of the Masonic lodges in the provinces immediately bordering Wiltshire.

However, I haven't worked much on British alignments since my last post, as I've been focusing mainly on Michigan during that time. So, I have added only 2 alignments to that collection. For now, I'd like to invite others to look for alignments among the new British crop circle placemarks, now that I have made them all available in one Google Earth file.

I will be posting my descriptions and analysis of these new alignments on this thread some time after I return from the ICCRA conference in Ohio, which is happening this weekend.

For now, I'll let the newly updated alignment file "speak for itself."

(Note: the new file is attached to the bottom of the first post on mt thread at Google Earth Community; the post also contains links to the other layers necessary to view the complete map.)

Today, I updated the alignment file attached to my thread on Google Earth Community. I've also updated the descriptions of alignments on the thread to include churches in Britain, and to include 3-way intersections of alignments in the Michigan test area.

Here's the link to the thread again:

http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1116977#Post1116977

I'll be posting details about the latest developments in my alignment test later this month, both on this thread and on my Google Earth Community thread.

For now, I recommend downloading the new file to see the latest developments for yourself!

[wabun]

I have a very interesting update:

Yesterday, a crop circle was discovered near Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire.

I find this one particuarly interesting for a couple reasons:

1) It is located where alignment #B3 intersects the St. Michael Ley, one of the most famous ley lines in the world.

2) Before yesterday, I had only found one crop circle that was located precisely in the center of #B3: the 8/17/07 crop circle in West Overton. The rest of the markers on the alignment were manmade markers: 3 earthworks, 8 churches, 1 college , 3 castles, 2 palaces, and 3 Masonic halls.

With the addition of yesterday's crop circle, there are now 5 crop circles that have appeared precisely on one of the 5 British alignments that I posted in February (#B1 through #B5) after I posted the alignments.

Link to information on the formation:

Link to Bert Janssen's map of crop circles that have appeared in Britain in 2009:

I would be especially interested to find out if this crop circle is authentic or if it is a hoax, considering the circumstances.

Part 1/7:

One thing I did not yet know when I wrote the previous post: the 7/4/09 Beckhampton crop circle (pictured at the end of the above post) was located precisely where Alignment #B5 intersects the Montgomery Ley.

So, of the five crop circles that appeared on my first five British alignments after I posted the alignments in February, two of them, not just one, appeared precisely where one of my first five alignments intersects a known ley line!

For today's post, I'll start with descriptions of eight more alignments that I've found in Great Britain.

Five of these - #B6 through #B10 - were included in the previous alignment file I posted on 7/15/09. However, since then I have explored the alignments in greater detail - largely using streetmap.com, an excellent resource for this test - and found many additional markers that were not listed in the previous file.

I found alignment #B7 when I noticed the 3-point alignment of the 8/8/00, 4/26/03 and 5/6/09 crop circles in a mere 1,000-foot stretch near All Cannings, and then extended the line to see if anything else interesting was on it.

One of the first things I noticed after extending the line was a large pyramid structure housing the Oasis Beach Pool in Bedford. Since indoor pools are not what I would consider a ley marker, I did not include it in the above list. However, I find it very interesting that someone decided to build a large pyramid structure in a location that happens to be precisely in the center of this alignment:

One interesting detail about this alignment is the strong overall connection between two of the crop circles on the line: the 7/11/06 Aldbourne crop circle and the 7/8/06 Savernake Forest crop circle. The dates of their discovery were three days apart, the distance between the two formations is five miles, and - most intriguingly - the two formations share a specific design component:

I found alignment #B9 by following my hunch to extend the conspicuous line found in the design of the 7/24/03 Berwick Bassett crop circle, which I was able to do easily since the remnant of the crop circle is visible in the 2003 satellite photo of the area. (Note: my hunch was specifically inspired by ICCRA director Jeff Wilson's work with USA crop circle alignments.)

I found alignment #B12 after I noticed the perfect alignment of 11 crop circles in a mere 2.3 mile stretch in the heart of crop circle country, running between Tawse Mead Copse and the fields north of Stanton St. Bernard. (Interestingly, 3 of the 11 crop circles appeared in 2009.)

The "Silbury Hill-Great Pyramid alignment" listed above is an amazing alignment between Silbury Hill and the Great Pyramid of Giza found by Bert Janssen. He describes how he found the alignment on his website, at this link:

Like alignment #B9, I found this alignment on a hunch specifically inspired by Jeff Wilson's alignment work with USA crop circles; I extended a geometric component of the actual design of the crop circle - the longest straight line in the formation's design, in this case:

(Note: Parts 1-5 of today's update are on the previous page of this thread.)

Part 6/7:

For today's update, I also have three more known ley lines - transcribed to Google Earth directly from the descriptions and diagrams of the lines on leyhunter.org - on which I have found crop circles.

For these three lines, I have applied the same method of ley marker hunting that I used on the British alignments that I've personally discovered (B1 through B13). I used Google Earth's "Add Path" feature to stretch the lines from coast to coast - which is well beyond the constrictive distance limits typically imposed on ley lines by some "traditional" ley hunters, such as Paul Devereux and the primary contributors to leyhunter.org.

After stretching the line, I would then "fly the line" looking for earthworks, churches and other features using the maps at streetmap.com as my primary resource. (I have yet to apply this time-consuming method to the first four extended traditional ley lines I presented on this thread, C1 through C4. So, as of this posting, C1 through C4 have not yet been fully explored. However, I plan to do this soon.)

Note: the markers from the original versions of these leys are listed in boldface.

Here's what I found:

The 7/7/97 crop circle, Winchester (left - Image Steve Alexander Copyright 1997) ; the 1982 crop circle, Winchester (right - Image Ian Stevens Copyright 1982)

It could be said that the modern era of crop circle research in Britain began with the report of the 1978 circle found in Winchester on the same farm as the 1982 circle. Both circles were found by farm hand Ian Stevens, who also said he had inspected another crop circle on the farm in 1976.

The farmer, Tim Brown, told Colin Andrews' research group (Circles Phenomenon Research International) that his father told him as a child about some mysterious circles on the land some 35 years before.

On July 7, 1997, another crop circle was discovered on the farm.

The 1982 circle and the 7/7/97 circle were both located precisely on the traditional path of the Winchester Ley, which is a mere 10 miles long.

Could this be an indicator that the makers of authentic crop circles have been intentionally highlighting ley lines from the start?

I know that this may hurt a lot, but it's better to hurt sooner than later. Crop circles have Freemasonry written all over them. Crop circles are Masonic entities. This one is a tribute to the Owl Goddess Lilith:

Of course, they are not using normal technology to create them (electromagnetic/spiritual/consciousness effects). Nevertheless, it is technology derived from esoteric knowledge, which the secret societies within/above Freemasonry already possess. :cool:

Oh really?

Crop circles open peoples' minds to the possibility of other realities far beyond the constricts of what we are taught is possible. Why on Earth would the illuminated Masons want to help open the masses' minds, when keeping the masses' minds closed to those possibilities is an essential component of the New World Order plan?

Why on Earth would the illuminated Masons want to give away the map of the Earth's ley lines to the public, when it is probably one of their biggest and longest-held secret keys to power over the masses?

Can you answer any of these questions, "stockstalker?"

This one is a tribute to the Owl Goddess Lilith:

I can see the Owl; what I can't see is how you feel your interpretation - that it is a "tribute" to a "goddess" - is definitive, when there are so many ways one can interpret the design of a crop circle.

Secret crop circle-making technology, huh?

Do you then think the Masons were responsible for the crop circles apparently reported in Britain in the 1600s? If so, what do you think would have been the point of making them back then? If not, then what is it you think those reports are more likely describing, rather than crop circles?
Link:

As for the ancient Native American legend of the "Magic Circle In The Prairie..."

So then, did some Illuminati representatives sneak across the ocean into wild Native American territory during the Middle Ages - armed with this secret "crop circle-creating technology" which they lugged for miles through the country, while evading notice by any Native Americans present in the area- to create a crop circle, which in turn inspired that legend? Or perhaps something else inspired the legend?

Chill out dude. It was not meant to be a personal attack. It's just that crop circles are not what you think they are (benevolent messages designed to awaken and activate mankind's "extra" DNA strands and assist humanity in the "ascension" process). They are actually seals of black magic and sorcery disguised as messages from E.T.s and inter-dimensional beings.

Crop circles open peoples' minds to the possibility of other realities far beyond the constricts of what we are taught is possible.

People can barely handle their behavior on the physical plane (greed, violence, crimes, etc.) What makes you think they're ready for other "realities"?

Why on Earth would the illuminated Masons want to help open the masses' minds, when keeping the masses' minds closed is the only way the New World Order could succeed?

Without revealing their technological secrets, they are actually testing out and refining technology recovered from Atlantis. If you look at the orientation of most crop circles, they actually point towards the sunken land of Atlantis (ie. directing energy from the Ley lines towards it).

Why on Earth would the illuminated Masons want to give away the map of the Earth's ley lines to the public, when it is probably one of their biggest and longest-held secret keys to power over the masses?

Why not? Without knowing how to manipulate the ley lines, it's not like you can do anything with this info if it was mailed directly to your door.

otherwise it couldn't manifest.

If there are E.T.s and interdimensional beings out there who want to help us get to the next level, they would beam the whole planet with dream rays of what mankind could become and how to get there, not carve out some images in some lonely field that 98% of the planet ignores. :cool:

Your statement about the orientation of crop circles is demonstrably false:

My Google Earth map of crop circle alignments contains a sub-folder of placemarks for dozens of UK crop circles that are visible in Google Earth, having been captured in the satellite photos. Many of the crop circles in the collection do "point" in specific directions- a wide variety of different directions, in fact.

Readers who would like to see this for themselves can download my map at the Google Earth Community forum, using the following instructions:

1) Make sure you have Google Earth 5.0 installed in your computer first. Here's the link to download the program:
http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

2) Visit my thread on Google Earth Community, where my first post begins with instructions for downloading the multiple layers of my map. Link to the thread here:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1116977&page=1

3) Once my map is running in Google Earth, go to the "View" tab and make sure that both the 'Sidebar' and 'Historical Imagery' features are checked.

4) In the sidebar, click on the plus sign next to the "British Alignments" folder to open the folder.

5) Within that folder, open the "Crop Circles" folder.

6) Within that folder, open up the "Visible Crop Circles" folder. (Note: placemarks originally posted by a Google Earth Community forum member whose username is 'Cyclonic' are in a sub-folder within the "Visible Crop Circles" folder, called "Cyclonic's Crop Circle Collection.".)

7) If you double-click the icon next to a crop circle listed in the folder, Google Earth will automatically zoom in to the location of the crop circle.

8) If the crop circle is not visible in the default photo, use the Historical Imagery bar visible in the upper-left corner to select the satellite photo that matches the year of the crop circle.

Why on Earth would the illuminated Masons want to give away the map of the Earth's ley lines to the public, when it is probably one of their biggest and longest-held secret keys to power over the masses?

Why not?

For starters, because knowledge is power.

Without knowing how to manipulate the ley lines, it's not like you can do anything with this info if it was mailed directly to your door.

So are you implying that this knowledge, while very useful to the Illuminati / practitioners of black magic, could not possibly be useful to anyone else?

And/or are you saying that there are no other possible uses for ley line knowledge besides uses that involve "manipulating" the lines?

Why are the Masons reversing my words to try to debunk me on their official online list of "Anti-Masons?"
http://www.masonicinfo.com/others_pg2.htm#Prange

b/c they also want to engineer an alien hoax. You are diverting their effort away from their goal.

I think that you have correctly identified one of the reasons- but I don't think it's the only reason. Do you?

I'm not sure what you mean by the next sentence:

The fact that they even show interest in your work immediately raises a red flag.

Please explain.

Secret crop circle-making technology, huh?

Masons are uber-specialists in geometries and astronomy. Most crop circles reflect this knowledge.

Both statements are true. But I don't see the cause-and-effect.

Again, knowledge is power. The Illuminati network's knowledge of things that the masses don't know - in general - is one of the keys that has kept them in power for so many years. This concept is at the heart of the meaning of their famous eye-in-the-pyramid symbol.

So why would the "Illuminated ones" suddenly want to give everybody else this knowledge?

Isn't it possible that the circlemakers are in effect taking away the Illuminati's power by giving away this knowledge to the masses, because it "evens out the playing field?"

Do you then think the Masons were responsible for the crop circles apparently reported in Britain in the 1600s? If so, what do you think would have been the point of making them back then?

The Freemason society supposedly formed in the 1700's. Before that, other secret societies existed. These are their forefathers.

I am aware that the Illuminati secret society network from which the Masons originated was active in Britain in the 1600's.

But again, do you think that members of this network created the crop circles reported in the 1600's? And if so, what do you think would have been their motives for making crop circles back then?

Or now, for that matter?

As for the ancient Native American legend of the "Magic Circle In The Prairie..."

You forget, thunderbirds are supposed to be evil creatures that attack humans and summon evil spirits to assist.

You are wrong again:
http://www.phoenixarises.com/phoenix/legends/thunder.htm

I have underlined key points in the following excerpt, taken from the above link:

Plains Indians Myth and Folklore

In order to understand Plains Indians folklore, we have to realize that their myths were not just
"just-so" stories to entertain, divert, or make inadequate efforts at naturalistic explanation.
Rather, Indian myth functioned in religious, pedagogical, and initiatory ways, to help socialize
young people and illuminate the various religious and other roles in society. Indian myth was always
fluid, and grounded in the present, which is what might be expected of societies which largely lacked
static, written traditions. Storytelling was an art which was maintained by the medicine people with
great fidelity, because it was used to explain the development of certain rituals and elements of society.
(Hines 1992)

Some have looked at the Thunderbird myths through the same lens of understanding applied to
European mythology. The Thunderbird is like the Indo-European dragon or ogre or Leviathan,
a huge monster who kidnaps virginal maidens, and who must be slain by the brave hero. Or the
Thunderbird is simply treated as some kind of fantastic oddity, like the mythical unicorn or
mermaid - an impossible construction borne from the extremes of the imagination. Both these attempts
at explaining myth lose the important point of seeing Thunderbird as a personification of energies
in nature - those found in violent thunderstorms and such - and his crucial dual nature.

Still, the Indians were not merely "mythmaking" in the pejorative sense. They no more literally believed
in a giant bird generating storms through the beating of its wings, then Christians today literally believe
in their divine being as an old man with a beard sitting on a marble throne. Thunderbird is an
allegory; his conflicts with other forces in nature are then an attempt to allegorize relationships
observed in the natural order, such as the changing of the weather. Like other Thunder Beings,
he is essentially an attempt to represent the patterns of activity of a powerful, mysterious force
in a way that can be understood simply and easily - sort of the way in which a weather
map functions today. (Edmonds and Clark 1989)

The Plains Indians believed that everything that was found in nature had a human representative
in microcosm. Everything in nature often contained its own opposite polarity, hence the expected
existence of beings such as contraries, women warriors, and berdaches. Because the
Thunderbird in particular represented this mysterious dual aspect of nature, manifest through
the primordial power of thunderstorms, it is not surprising that his representatives were the
heyoka or sacred clowns, who displayed wisdom through seemingly foolhardy action.
Western thinking has prevented us from seeing the reasons why Indians perceived this connection.
Few anthropologists have sought to locate how Thunderbird may have been mythologically
linked to Trickster.

The Nature of Thunderbird

In Plains tribes, the Thunderbird is sometimes known as Wakinyan, from the Dakota word kinyan meaning "winged." Others suggest the word links the Thunderbird to wakan, or sacred power. In many stories, the Thunderbird is thought of as a great Eagle, who produces thunder from the beating of his wings and flashes lightning from his eyes. (Descriptions are vague because it is thought Thunderbird is always surrounded by thick, rolling clouds which prevent him from being seen.) Further, there were a variety of beliefs about Thunderbird, which suggest a somewhat complicated picture. Usually, his role is to challenge some other great power and protect the Indians - such as White Owl Woman, the bringer of winter storms; the malevolent Unktehi, or water oxen who plague mankind; the horned serpents; Wochowsen, the enemy bird; or Waziya, the killing North Wind. But in some other legends (not so much in the Plains), Thunderbird is himself malevolent, carrying off people (or reindeer or whales) to their doom, or slaying people who seek to cross his sacred mountain. (Erdoes and Ortiz 1984)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, an excerpt from Wikipedia's article on Thunderbird mythologies:

In oral history

Depending on the people telling the story, the Thunderbird is either a singular entity or a species. In both cases, it is intelligent, powerful, and wrathful. All agree that one should go out of one's way to keep from getting thunderbirds angry.

The singular Thunderbird (as the Nuu-chah-nulth thought of him) was said to reside on the top of a mountain, and was the servant of the Great Spirit. The Thunderbird only flew about to carry messages from one spirit to another. It was also told that the thunderbird controlled rainfall.

The plural thunderbirds (as the Kwakwaka'wakw and Cowichan tribes believed) could shapeshift into human form by tilting back their beaks like a mask, and by removing their feathers as if it were a feather-covered blanket. There are stories of thunderbirds in human form marrying into human families; some families may trace their lineage to such an event. Families of thunderbirds who kept to themselves but wore human form were said to have lived along the northern tip of Vancouver Island. The story goes that other tribes soon forgot the nature of one of these thunderbird families, and when one tribe tried to take them as slaves the thunderbirds put on their feather blankets and transformed to take vengeance upon their foolish captors.

The Sioux believed that in "old times" the Thunderbirds destroyed dangerous reptilian monsters called the Unktehila.

crop circles are purely black magic. Maybe the term geomancy might ring a bell. White magicians have no need to "prove" themselves by stamping gigantic figures onto crop fields to show off how precise, accurate, and awesome their technology is, or perform "acupuncture" on the Earth. If there is a source of evil harming the Earth, they will go after it directly (most of humanity exempted d/t upholdment of freewill). Remember, the black magician is weak. He must communicate thru symbology and outwardly things. On the other hand, the white magician is more cunning. He communicates through visions and dreams.



Why do crop circles have to had been made by magicians at all?

First I've heard of it.

[phildee3]

Crop circles are magic spells/seals performed on the Earth's ley lines for evil purposes... Crop circles, with their geometric designs, are a form of exploiting the Earth's sexual energies via the ley lines.



Very few CCs have appeared on ley lines, if any.
I'd be interested to hear of one or two, having studies both topics in depth (and never nated any connection between them).



During the appearance of the first crop circles in the 1600's, black magicians used the crop seeds for diabolical sex/fertility rituals. They're still doing the same thing today, but on a much grander scale.



That wouldn't surprise me.
Lots of weirdos do all kinds of things with them, I'm sure,
