GOVERNMENT SCARE TACTICS?
As I probed further into this controversial finding with Andrews, an intriguing new dimension to the story began to emerge. I asked him why these people preferred to remain anonymous. Why don’t they take credit for these remarkable creations? This unlikely, uncharacteristic modesty prompted me to ask if there might be U.S. and/or U.K. government or intelligence agency involvement, with some sort of secret agenda. His answer was surprising. “It is also possible that the long-term agenda is for us to believe aliens exist and they are not to be trusted . . . These people seem to be working on a quite different tactic, and that is to give the public the impression that the aliens are not good but are here, and that the crop circles are part of the same equation . . . rest assured, the governments are in there . . . I have had two known . . . CIA agents tell me that the crop circles are formed by one alien race for another and that they are Earth-based ‘signposts.’” Andrews says that several times in the past he has discovered “military activity” and that he was going to address that issue in his next book.
He went on to say that the governments expected him to communicate this idea to his public. As I pondered this development, I realized that this was the basic thrust of the movie Signs. On this subject, Andrews was called in as a consultant on the movie and did over fifty major television interviews without ever being told that it was just going to be a horror movie or that it would portray the aliens as evil. He never knew the story line. This agenda would also explain why the face in the wheat had a scowling expression and seemed threatening, even while presenting a friendship-inspiring message in its hand. Could it be that this wonderful formation was also man-made?
Andrews told me that the alien face at Crabwood was definitely made by humans. He claims that it was created over a period of several days. Andrews then told me that four other faces have appeared in the fields of England. The first was at Chilbolton, Hampshire, during the 2001 growing season. One such face appears to be that of a Native American.
Andrews also revealed that the mysterious Richard Brain, decoder extraordinaire, was none other than Vigay, Andrews’s friend and research associate. Andrews informed me that no one has challenged Vigay’s translation of the message on the crop CD. Andrews says that there is absolutely no doubt in his mind that these face formations were man-made. This revelation is further evidence that government agencies want us to believe aliens to be threatening. It means that they are going to a lot of trouble to convince us that aliens are out there, but without telling us so directly. Then again, it may not have been so much trouble after all, since we really don’t know what sort of sophisticated, secret technology may have been employed.
This brings up the subject of the white lights seen buzzing over crop formations on several occasions. Could these also be of human origin? Andrews says, “I can’t explain them, but they do exist and they do not move in a random way; they too appear to be purposeful and therefore seem to exhibit intelligence . . . I have studied these objects closely for some years now and I get the distinct impression they sense where they are and who is around. I think they are alive.” This would seem to open up an entirely new dimension in the possible origins of the crop circles. His explanation would imply that some sort of earthly agency might be involved, not necessarily alien and not human, but rather a force of nature. This theory is reinforced by Andrews’s dowsing discoveries within the circles. He says, “I think that the subtle energies which embrace the circles [however they are made] take on a cohesive matrix which is required by nature in some unknown way. I think it’s possible that, in nature, all things notch together energetically and form natural colonies that form natural boundaries only when some unknown criterion is satisfied.” This possibility further clouds the mystery and would seem to apply only to the 20 percent of the formations not created by humans.
AN EXPERIMENT IN CONSCIOUSNESS
After more than twenty-five years of investigation and research into the mystery of crop circles, Andrews is certainly in the best position of anyone to come to some conclusions about them, but his explanations are still tentative, despite his discovery that 80 percent of the circles are man-made. The paradoxes abound and are perplexing. For example, how can it be that researchers and hoaxers both experience paranormal energies and phenomena in and around the circles? Is it possible that these energies are engendered just by the act of creating a crop circle, whether man-made or not? Andrews looks for the answer to this strange situation in the psychological profiles of known hoaxers. Certainly human consciousness and spiritual power is not understood yet, and emotional forces may be unleashed by these people when the circles are created that even they do not understand. He expresses it this way: “I do believe . . . that our given ability to think and act with highly evolved brain function, such as with love, openness, compassion and with spiritual intent, attaches us to the tethers of the forces that brought us here . . . when you approach a problem with these qualities . . . the emotional energy produced is marked and is identified by the life force which permeates all living things.” Andrews’s final analysis of the situation is intriguing and unexpected. He says, “I strongly believe that we are involved in some kind of experiment with consciousness. I don’t know whose experiment it is, but if it does not belong to an off-planet source, then we should own it ourselves, because it offers a great deal for our future.” Finally, to further confound us, he adds, “Something strange is going on.”
Andrews’s newest book, Government Circles, published in 2009, further explores the involvment of the U.K. Ministry of Defense with the crop circles. For more information about his writings and activities see his website, www.colinandrews.net.
PART TWO
Exopolitics
This part of the book deals with the major attempts to remove extraterrestrial interactions and negotiations from military control and bring them under civilian hegemony. Having established the reality of contact, several questions arise: What do we do now? Shouldn’t there be some sort of international agency to handle diplomatic relations with other star system civilizations? What is the United Nations doing about this? The reason it has taken so long for us to come to that realization and ask those questions (i.e., sixty years after Roswell) is very clear. It’s because our military has maintained a very effective embargo on the truth of contact and has convinced the controlling forces in the other industrialized nations to join the deception. Alternatively, it argues for a world shadow authority that transcends national autonomies.
At the time the first chapter in this part of the book was written as a magazine article, in mid-2003, very few people had heard the term “exopolitics.” But after reading the papers written by Dr. Michael Salla on his website, which was rather obscure at that time, I realized that he was ahead of his time and that it was necessary that exopolitics become a subject of study and investigation at the highest academic and government levels. From what I could determine, Salla was the first to confront the problem and to bring that term out of obscurity and into the limelight. Exopolitics is now international and is growing as a force, ready to act as a guiding discipline in diplomacy with alien civilizations once that role is relinquished by the military. Chapter 9, “Exopolitics and the Iraqi Stargate,” chronicles the birth of that movement.
Another such movement was Project Disclosure, initiated by Dr. Steven Greer, who is covered in chapter 10, “Information Wars.” Greer’s approach was to round up as many participants in, and witnesses to, the military-industrial interactions with alien groups on Earth as he could, then have them testify en masse in order to force the government’s hand to disclose the truth of alien contact. He has succeeded beyond expectation in enlightening and converting many individuals in key positions and has definitely weakened the autocratic suppression structure worldwide. Greer’s main concern is the release of the advanced-technology secrets that are maintained along with the contact information, because they go hand in hand. He contends that all our ener
gy problems could literally be solved overnight once this information enters the public concourse.
While the study of exopolitics and Project Disclosure are now worldwide in scope, with thousands of participants, there is a similar movement being conducted by one man. He works alone, and he works very effectively. Stanton T. Friedman seeks to enlighten the world about extraterrestrial contact one audience at a time. As you will read in chapter 11, “UFO Crusader,” his message has reached the furthest corners of the globe and, along with his books, is slowly turning the tide of indifference and ignorance about ET contact. Because of his lone, valiant quest in pursuit of what appears to be “the impossible dream,” I refer to him as the “Don Quixote of ufology.”
Chapter 12, “Sci-Fi Film: A Path to Self-Discovery,” belongs in this section because these films are essentially trying to do the same thing as Salla, Greer, and Friedman. They approach the problem in an indirect way, claiming it is all fiction, but the net result is the awakening of the populace “from the inside out.” At the level of the mass subconscious, there is a deep, inarticulate knowledge that we were meant to travel to the stars. That’s why these films are so successful. They are effective because the producers get all the precise details of these secret programs from ex-participants and scientists, just as Greer does. Then they incorporate them into stories disguised as fiction. The net result is a widespread subconscious appreciation of our progress toward the new era of space travel. The people know that these are not just dreams, and when they see these movies, they are just as thrilled as those who watch the rocket ships take off from Cape Canaveral.

Exopolitics and the Iraqi Stargate
Imagine this scenario. The U.S. government obtains intelligence that hidden somewhere in central Iraq is an actual stargate, placed there by the Anunnaki “gods” of ancient Sumeria. This is a device that employs time-travel technology and permits individuals and equipment to pass into another dimension outside of the space-time continuum. Once there, it is possible to travel across the galaxy or into another galaxy, instantaneously, and then pop back into space-time on another planet. The government also learns that Nibiru, the “twelfth planet,” is scheduled to make its return passage through our solar system on its 3,600year orbit in a matter of months. When Nibiru is closest to Earth, the Anunnaki, the ancient, huge, hominoid gods of Sumeria, who built the stargate, will very likely take the opportunity to travel to Earth through the stargate and will set up their encampment in Iraq. By default, this will have the effect of propping up the current regime.
The government officials know that they must prevent this at all costs because it will mean the end of American world hegemony and will end any chance they might have to get their hands on Iraqi oil. They decide they must invade Iraq and, with the help of their extraterrestrial associates, the Grays, close the stargate. But the Russians, Germans, and French, having been intimately involved in archaeological digs in Iraq, know what they’re up to and prefer that the stargate remain open to prevent American domination of the world. With time running out, President George W. Bush invades Iraq in March 2003. American marines fail to protect the priceless treasures of the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad, as it is systematically looted over a four-day period according to a previous, carefully developed plan.*19 Among the items stolen are five thousand extremely valuable cylinder seals, some dating to 3000 BCE. The seals depict scenes from ancient Mesopotamia, some of which probably show the location and use of the stargate. U.S. forces find and take charge of the stargate, thus frustrating the grandiose ambitions of the self-styled reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam Hussein, and making the world safe for the New World Order.
Is this the sequel to the movie Stargate? Is it a new episode of the TV series? Is it a new Star Trek movie? No, it is none of these. According to Dr. Michael Salla, it is probably exactly what actually happened! This fantastic theory would not be expected from someone whose entire career has been spent in academia, pursuing rather conventional political and diplomatic studies. Salla, an Australian national, obtained his MA degree in philosophy from the University of Melbourne and then his doctorate in government from the University of Queensland in 1993. After spending two years as an associate at the Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies in Australia, he joined the faculty of the Department of Political Science at Australian National University in Canberra as a lecturer. In 1996, he came to the United States and gained an academic appointment at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., where he remained until 2001. He then became a researcher in residence at the Center for Global Peace at American University, investigating methods to achieve transformational peace. Salla’s affiliation with the American University ended in August 2004, after which he founded the Exopolitics Institute in Kealakekua, Hawaii, where he remains as of this writing.

THE MISSING FACTOR
Salla’s Iraqi stargate theory is expounded in a paper that he wrote for publication on his own website. Several other research papers written by him that exhibit first-rate scholarship and elaborate on his intriguing views about world events can also be found on the website. Impressed with his academic credentials, fascinated by his unique ideas, and convinced that the Atlantis Rising readership should be informed of his work, I decided to interview him for the magazine. After talking with him, I quickly formed the opinion that Salla may just have the most appropriate and insightful view on current world events of any that I have heard from any government in the world—a view that, once accepted, allows one to observe the world scene in the twenty-first century through a totally different lens. Looking through this lens, an entirely new reality emerges—a reality that those who have immersed themselves in spiritual and extraterrestrial studies over the years will intuitively, confidently believe to be true.
It seems obvious that the extraterrestrial presence should be a major factor in all political decisions and actions. Like the proverbial “elephant in the room,” the alien factor is just too big to be ignored, and therefore it seems highly unlikely that it is being ignored, but what goes on in clandestine meetings is not public policy. Salla brings the subject out into the daylight by reviving the previously obscure concept of exopolitics, dusting it off, and giving it new life and meaning. This seems to be an appropriate designation, since the exo prefix has become established as a reference to aliens (e.g., “exobiology” refers to the study of alien physiology and biochemistry). Salla formulated his exopolitical theory when, in his work in international conflict resolution, it became clear that there was a missing piece. Some external agency was not accounted for. When he factored in the ET influence, it all came together. In his ten-thousand-word research paper titled “The Need for Exopolitics: Implications of Extraterrestrial Conspiracy Theories for Policy Makers & Global Peace,” Salla says that exopolitics “can be defined as the policy debate over the choices governments and populations need to make in formulating and implementing legislative and policy responses to the presence of ETs in human affairs.”
Exopolitics: the book
INTRUDERS AND HELPERS
Salla claims that exopolitics is actually already being practiced in secret by the major world governments, but in his paper, he gives good examples of how public exopolitics should be conducted. As our government should be doing, he reviews all the sources of evidence of the ET presence to date and then uses this reported information to try to comprehend the nature of alien intentions. He does this by identifying four possible perspectives and evaluating the strength of the evidence for each category.
According to the intruder perspective, the aliens are here for their own purposes, and their abduction and hybrid program activities are intrusive and callous to human concerns. Although they pose no direct military threat, this attitude would tend to justify defense concerns and the development of weapons with which to confront them. Taking the manipulator perspective, a case can be built that the
aliens have been manipulating humans covertly since we first appeared here. There is evidence that this has been conducted through their human proxies via secret societies and support of a controlling elite class of humans. From the helper perspective, it appears that the aliens are here to help us grow in consciousness and solve our problems. In his paper Salla says that much evidence supports the view that the “ETs play an important role in encouraging humanity to achieve peaceful resolution of international conflict and in preventing nuclear proliferation and the use of other destructive weapons.” Finally, there is the watcher perspective. According to this view, the aliens are agents of a larger galactic organization and are here to observe a “great experiment” that may help other planetary societies if we resolve it correctly. These aliens are all-powerful, and although they are noninterventionists, they are ready to step in if absolutely necessary. Of these four possibilities, Salla claims that the strongest evidence supports the intruder and the helper perspectives, and therefore government policies should actively address both of these.
