"THE CORE STORY HE CLAIMED WAS TRUE IS THE SAME WE HAVE HEARD..."The human mind, powered by imagination, can do amazing things. Many minds, working together, can amplify that effect to where it becomes a real, if viral, contagion.Sometimes a very clever human mind can take advantage of the power of human imagination to design a message, seed the human network, and infect the system.Richard Helms, the late former Director of Central Intelligence, was well aware of this capability.Helms observed it was his duty to know, and acting from a position of official authority, he gave the orders to investigate the depths of scientific and paranormal aspects of the human mind.Later, again acting from a position of authority, he ordered many of the resulting efforts destroyed, to protect the American people.It is not too surprising that Helms' legacy has become the cornerstone of many conspiracy theories. Some of the conspiracy theories live on and become legends. Eventually some of the legends get published.A critical component in the published account by Robert Collins," Exempt from Disclosure", is a type of "crystal device" -- sometimes described as an extraterrestrial holographic television, other times as an energy device.Rick Doty, the former USAF intelligence officer who remains at the source of many of the rumors which have grown up into legends, describes one of the crystals in Collins' book:"The most intriguing in my experience with the aliens is a crystal -- an octagon shaped crystal -- which when held in the aliens' hands, and viewed by a second person, displayed pictures. These pictures could be of the alien's home planet or of the Earth thousands of years ago. The crystal always intrigued me, but I don't understand how it operates, nor do I think the government understands how it operates. I have seen the crystal, but I have not seen the pictures."As with many legends, it turns out that there is a kernel of truth that may have inspired the tale.The clues to the legend involve the claims of Doty, and others involved presently working with the Intelligence Community (based upon several sources who have shared numerous communications) that Helms personally verified the alleged "core story" of extraterrestrial contact with the government.According to messages provided in 2005:"As far as Helms... there is that squib in Collin's book... and I have said it is true... "I fully agree with Ron's mystification about Helms. Why he contacted me, wanted to meet with me privately at the National Research Council, and was so unambiguous confuses me. I did not get the impression he did so because he was using me, indeed, he was insistent on privacy. Shortly before he died, he wrote me and one other person, saying he had learned that despite his counsel to us, he had "heard" (incorrectly, it turned out) that we had agreed Rick Doty had been a "bad person" and he said he would never talk to us again, and he did not. A letter, then another, and another from me to him saying he had heard a distorted and wrong story went unanswered. I am not prepared to repeat what he said to me before that, because I am uncertain as to his mental state (he seemed intact, but the subject was, after all quite crazy), he required secrecy, and he never said I would be released from it, the core story he claimed was true is the same we have heard..."Among the rumors we received about Helms' ET activities, the UFO AVIARY (bird names) and other tales of government involvement with extraterrestrials...1. "Raven" IDed as " Dick Helms by Doty, who also called him Mr R.Collins indicated that only Jaime Shandera knows who he is. Jaimiemeet with Raven in DC. Raven was showing him secret apartment theEBE3 was being kept in DC. Walter Ferguson, CIA, also possible"Raven".2. Bird Code was instructions that if followed correctly would led tothat same apartment in DC. (This location is associated with KING'S CHESS)9. 1988-1989-Dick Helms joins to group.

"Raven" came into picture in 1991.Worked with "MJ12" group forover 30 years and based in LANL. Raven revealed OROCA panel which isabove MJ12 group. It meets at CIA in Langley. Raven worked out of"Dulce Complex or TA 49 at LANL. We communicate with alien used"scattered binary hyper-burst. Jerry Miller is "Heron" revealed.According to Gus Russo, Helms used the alias KNIGHT, which can be confirmed in many of his communciations from the new CIA Helms collection.This curious fact leads us to the legend of the CRYSTAL and KNIGHT, the alleged ET SERPO tale of a project called CRYSTAL KNIGHT, and the true and verified (by CIA FOIA files) story of a botched attempt to offer a gift to the Shah of Iran. This special gift -- an exotic crystal apparently held in very high regard by NASA -- was a concern directed to the former Director of Central Intelligence, Richard Helms.One SECRET/SENSITIVE/EYES ONLY memo sent to Helms in June of 1974 from Brent Scowcroft at the White House, reads:"NASA BELIEVES THAT DR. WEISSNER'S IDEA TO PRESENT THE GIFT (A CRYSTAL GROWN UNDER ZERO GRAVITY) TO THE SHAH IS EXTREMELY UNWISE, MAY BE ILLEGAL, AND IN ANY CASE MUST NOT -- REPEAT MUST NOT -- BE DONE. NASA FURTHER REQUESTS THAT THE ITEM BE RETURNED TO THEM AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY." -- http://www.foia.cia.gov/helms/pdf/74 1503801.pdfIt is interesting to consider this message from two points of view.The first, reasonable and logical explanation, involves one of the crystals grown in space by the US SKYLAB space station.The second, the conspiratorial viewpoint, is the odd inclusion of a description of the item in a trasnmitted message. Typically this would be handled differently, unless it was intended to send disinformation to another party.What do you think? I'll be exploring the "HELMS CODE" in UFO SPY GAMES and FACE OF THE CORE STORY at the STARpod.org website.
As I anticipated, yesterday's SLP posts about Richard Helms and a space crystal elicited confusion and consternation on both sides of the UFO reality debate.
My favorite response came from Ryan Dube who is an administrator for" Reality Uncovered", a forum driven to debunk UFO documents sometimes using false statements about the kind of markings used by the government:
"Gary - your articles encourage loose thinking and idiotic theories based on whatever little tidbits you can gather from formerly classified documents. You're a moron. After reading this latest, I can honestly say that I despise everything you do. The effects of your writing are harmful, dangerous, and counter-productive to encouraging critical thinking, true open-mindedness based on the highest probable answers, and following the most clear path to the truth. Your articles, your writing, and your thought processes fly in the face of all of that."
As expected, Ryan simply "doesn't get it."
Apparently Ryan needs to pay closer attention to my biography tag line:
"I am a researcher of material that blurs the distinction between fiction and reality."
My point was simple: to the best of my knowledge (as of today) the only intersection in the public record which brings together Richard Helms, his alias "Knight," and a crystal from space is found in three documents at the CIA's electronic reading room.
Together these documents form an "ink blot test" you can use to gauge your personal reaction.
The heart of myth making is in the eye of the beholder. Counterintelligence takes that art to a higher level by confusing sources, motives, and methods. Ryan is clearly confused!
In simplest terms, you should see the documents for what they are: requests concerning recovery of a NASA space crystal formed in zero gravity. For those more conspiratorially minded, they will represent something else.
And as I demonstrated, a myth-maker can easily take a real document and spin the story by removing a few words.
Here's the raw deal: when one is used to working in the clear fresh clarity of the open-source waters, stepping into the murky, dark, putrid black waters of the UFO spy game is not an easy transition.
Why would anyone in their right mind even wish to attempt to sort through all of the lies, rumors, reports, mis and disinformation?
It's even worse trying to track down real, verifiable government information. After all, this is the same government that erased the moon landing tapes!
The truth of the matter -- and this does come from real government-issued documents -- there is an acknowledged "phenomenology problem."
We also know (again from government records beginning in the early 1950s onward) the CIA intended to use the "phenomenology problem" for clandestine purposes, including counterintelligence.
In my previous two posts here at SLP, I reproduced a small sampling of the rumors, partly from inside sources, partly from Robert Collins' book EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE, which point to Richard Helms involvement in the alleged MAJESTIC MJ-12 MAJIC UFO extraterrestrial business.
So what do we really know?
As the saying goes, "Just the facts..."
We know that CIA acknowledged a "phenomenology problem" with the UFO topic, and intended to explore the use of this problem for counterintelligence activities.
We know with certainty that Richard Helms was involved in some very spooky business at CIA. This includes Helms' role in MKULTRA and other related mind-control and paranormal investigations, his interest in developing telepathy and hypnosis for operational Clandestine Services, and the fact that Helms gave the order to have the files destroyed.
We know that Sidney Gottlieb, running CIA's Technical Services Division (TSD) under Helms, was funding some of the research into psychic paranormal perception at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
One of the principles of that project was Dr. Hal Puthoff, who is currently researching UFO-related technologies. Dr. Kit Green was a senior CIA analyst from Life Sciences attached to the SRI work.
We also have off-the-record sources on deep background who have attempted to direct our interests, evidenced by numerous messages and sources which remain confidential until further notice.
We know now for a fact that Helms is referenced in the government record about the recovery of a "space crystal."
"Note: The picture which accompanies this post shows President Gerald Ford holding a space crystal manufactured during the Skylab 4 mission. To his left is Dr. James C. Fletcher of NASA, who was referenced in the messages to Helms. The other gentleman is Dr. Harold Johnson of M.I.T. The indium-antimonide crystal was formed in Earth orbit on January 6, 1974, by the Skylab 4 astronauts."
