Although no sightings have been reported yet of saffron-robed youths chanting rapturously in Soviet streets, the Hare Krishna movement seems to have made sufficient inroads into the Soviet Union to alarm the authorities.
A major Soviet daily reported last year on the break-up of a Krishna chapter in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk and conviction of its leader for “parasitism.“
The paper treated the movement as a kind of misguided idealism imported from the West that was deplorable because it lured people away from socially useful lives.
The warning apparently went unheeded, because Nedelya, the weekend supplement of Izvestia, has issued a far more alarmed and threatening report on doings of the sect.
The journal reported the trial of leaders of a Krishna group in Moscow. Although the date, sentences and charges were not specified, the authors of the article, Vadim Kassis and Leonid Kolosov, described the Krishna organization in the Soviet Union as a deliberate American “diversion“ whose victims became mentally warped and whose American leader was nothing less than an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Soviet opposition to a new manifestation of religion is hardly surprising, and the attempt to brand the newly imported sect as somehow subversive recalled similar assaults on Christian denominations introduced from the West like the Jehovah’s Witnesses or the Pentecostals. American Woman Expelled
Only recently, a young American woman working as a governess for American diplomats in Moscow was expelled after she was caught at an “illegal gathering“ of Jehovah’s Witnesses outside the capital. The Soviet press subsequently accused her of having a “link“ to the C.I.A.
But the attack on the Krishna sect stood out from the usual flow of anti-religious propaganda because the spread of the movement had been virtually unnoticed by Westerners here. One possible explanation for the official concern gleaned from the press reports was that the movement seemed to have taken root among the Soviet equivalent of a middle class -the better educated, urbanized, privileged youths, while earlier Christian sects had traditionally found followers among less-educated rural people.
The Krishna members identified in the Soviet articles included engineers, technicians, a budding athlete and others with higher education. This young intelligentsia has shown increasing fascination in recent years with a whole range of ideas outside Soviet ideology, from exotic Eastern philosophies to extrasensory perception or faith healing, without reports of heavy resistance from the state. Anxieties in the Kremlin
But the Hare Krishna movement appears to set off elemental anxieties in the Kremlin. After harrowing accounts of young people destroyed by the movement, Nedelya said:
“This, then, is the ‚International Society for Krishna Consciousness,‘ a pseudo-Hindu mystic-religious sect, having a distinct anti-Communist character. The Krishna ‚movement‘ calls for an escape from reality, since all existence is only illusion. Thus, a person need not be interested in the fruit of his work, he must abandon socially useful activities, he has no fatherland, no family, no close ones, only an all-embracing love for god.“
Accompanying the article was a photograph of Krishna members in full regalia on a Western street, with a caption terming them “mindless.“
The Krishna sect was founded in the United States in 1966 by an Indian ascetic, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, calling on adherents to turn all their worldly possessions over to the society and to accept whatever duties are assigned by their guru.
The shaven-headed youths in flowing robes with whitish smears on their foreheads, chanting and beating out rhythms on drums, have become a familiar sight on New York streets. Two months ago, the daughter of Walter Reuther, the late labor leader, and the greatgrandson of Henry Ford opened a Detroit mansion as a showpiece of the movement. 2 Accused of Recruiting
Nedelya, however, did not dwell much on the Western manifestations of the sect, focusing instead on the Moscow chapter headed by Vladimir Kritsky, 32 years old, and Sergei Kurkin, 19, the defendants at the trial, who were accused of recruiting new members and disseminating the Krishna teachings.
A woman, identified only as Yelena P., was described as a promising athlete when she fell in with the defendants in 1979. “Suddenly something happened to the girl,“ Nedelya said. “It was as if she had been transformed. She disappeared from home, became rude, hysterical. She developed a barely concealed hatred for her parents. ‚You’re meat eaters,‘ she told them, ‚and when you die you’ll turn into pigs.‘ “
The woman dropped out of her institute and when her mother became terminally ill she displayed only disdain. “Thus the life of a once cheerful, kind, life-loving girl was destroyed. And not her’s alone. The fact is that the Krishnaists cannot return to their former, normal life without psychiatric treatment. Why? Because the fundamental “re-education“ in the sect is the state of ecstasy, which in conjunction with fasting and exhausting prayer leads to destruction of the human personality.“ U.S. ‚Special Services‘ Accused
Luring people to such an anti-social stance, Nedelya said, was obviously the work of American “special services.“ The agent in this case, the magazine asserted, was Robert Campagnola, described as one of the original 11 disciples of the guru of the Krishna sect.
The Nedelya account opened with a scene of Mr. Campagnola stretched out on a couch in Moscow and having his feet ceremonially washed by a Soviet follower, a medical technician named Sergei Mitrofanov.
But he was more than the emissary of the religion, Nedelya declared: “After a closer and longer familiarity with the ‚blessed tourist‘ Robert Campagnola, there emerged highly curious ‚elements‘ from his biography. It turned out that Mr. Campagnola is a longtime agent of the C.I.A., specializing in ideological diversions.“
The goal, the journal said, is to “control public opinion, to study the political orientation of this or that part of the population, to cause divisions in progressive movements, to gather information under the cover of ‚missionary‘ work.“
The article on the Krishna sect last year gave a considerably less pernicious account of the spread of the movement to the Soviet Union. It reported that the sect arrived via the International Book Fair in Moscow in 1979, when the Krishna movement’s publishing arm, the Bhatkivendanta Book Trust of Los Angeles, was permitted an exhibit. It drew curious Russians, the books spread, and Hare Krishna was on its way in Russia.

DECLASSIFIED FILES SHOW CIA HUNTED YETIS AND A ‘HUGE METALLIC DISC’ IN NEPAL
„DECLASSIFIED FILES SHOW CIA HUNTED YETIS AND A ‘HUGE METALLIC DISC’ IN NEPAL“
„February 8, 2019 mysteriousuniverse
When the CIA released millions of declassified documents in 2017 and placed them in a searchable online database, it was expected that some seriously spooky stuff would turn up. It’s public knowledge that the CIA has conducted research into all sorts of paranormal or otherwise anomalous phenomena ranging from psychic abilities to UFOs, but a new trove of documents discovered among the millions of files has revealed the US intelligence agency even once went looking for the legendary Yeti in the mountains of Nepal. Was the ever-elusive abominable snow man-ape ever found?
Who knows; after all, the CIA likely released these documents merely to placate the public under the guise of secrecy and is no doubt withholding the really good stuff in dusty warehouses full of the world’s higher mysteries and secrets. Still, these new documents add to a growing body of evidence showing that even the CIA may take the Yeti legend seriously – or at least purport to in order to cover its tracks.
The documents were unearthed and posted online by Amish Raj Mulmi at the Kathmandu Post. In addition to the Yeti documents, the files show that the CIA took interest in at least seven different sightings of unidentified flying objects above Nepal and Bhutan in 1968. The unidentified objects described in the reports range from a “white light” emitting “blasting sounds” and “white smoke” to fast-moving cigar shape objects reminiscent of many other UFO sightings from the time period. Here are the “particulars of the object” from one report from 19 February, 1968:
A fast-moving object, long and thin, emitting red and green bright light, as bright as to cause daylight. Thunder sound heard after few second of sighting object.
Sure sounds an awful lot like a ballistic missile test or high-altitude aircraft breaking the sound barrier (aircraft typically have red and green navigation lights on the left and right wingtips, respectively). That would make sense given the historical and political context surrounding these sightings, which happened at the height of US involvement in the Vietnam War and at a time when the relatively newly-formed People’s Republic of China was ramping up their missile research, nuclear weapons program, and domestic aircraft production.
An early Chinese Shenyang J-8 from the 1960s.
Naturally, then, the CIA would have wanted to document any sightings of anomalous aerial object in case they might shed light on what the Chinese or Soviets were up to in the skies above the region. One report even mentions that “huge metallic disc-shaped object with a six-foot base and four feet in height was found in a crater” at the foot of the Himalayas. Could this have been a crashed Soviet or Chinese aircraft or missile, or something stranger?
The Crisscross road connecting China to Nepal.
China and Nepal share a mountainous border with several ports of entry like the “Crisscross road” seen here.
The documents discovered by the Kathmandu Post also contain a cable sent 30 November, 1959 from the American Embassy in Kathmandu to the Department of State in Washington, D.C. The document outlines America’s official “Regulations Governing Mountain Climbing Expeditions in Nepal – Related to Yeti” and describe what American personnel conducting so-called “Mountaineering and Scientific Expeditions in Nepal” should do in the event of contact with the Yeti:
1. Royalty of Rs. 5000/- Indian Currency will have to be paid to His Majesty’s Government of Nepal for a permit to carry out an expedition in search of ‘Yeti.’
2. In case ‘Yeti’ is traced it can be photographed or caught alive but it must not be killed or shot at except in an emergency arising out of self defence. All photographs taken of the animal, the creature itself if captured alive or dead, must be surrendered to the Government of Nepal at the earliest time.
3. News and reports throwing light on the actual existence of the creature must be submitted to the Government of Nepal as soon as they are available and must not in anyway way be given out to the Press or Reporters for publicity without the permission of the Government of Nepal.
While hardcore ‘Squatchers may point to this document as proof of the US government’s knowledge of the legendary Yeti, it very well may be that these cables were hiding the true nature of these alleged “Mountaineering and Scientific Expeditions.” In the late 1950s, the CIA and the US government were deeply concerned with the spread of Chinese communist forces throughout the region, and the Chinese were actively asserting their presence along the border with Nepal. It very well may be that the Yeti hunt was a cover for spies to keep tabs on the PRC’s activities in the region. It’s known that the CIA and other intelligence agencies often use “scientific expeditions” as a cover to send agents into the field; if you replace every instance of “Yeti” in the document with “Chinese spies or scouts,” these cables begin to make a lot more sense.
CIA
It’s long been suspected that intelligence agencies intentionally muddy the waters by using alleged paranormal activity to cover their tracks.
While these documents are far from a smoking gun, they may show how the government study of anomalous phenomena can be used to mask the true purpose of the CIA’s or other agencies’ intelligence gathering activities. Could the CIA actually have been hunting the legendary Yeti and gathering reports of truly unidentified aerial phenomena? It’s possible – but it’s highly more probable that they were keeping tabs on the USA’s favorite frenemy, the PRC. What might these documents suggest about the Pentagon’s modern day study of UFOs?

The Ancient Egyptians were in possession of an “Advanced Technology” that allowed them to have Electricity and Batteries
„The Ancient Egyptians were in possession of an “Advanced Technology” that allowed them to have Electricity and Batteries“
„Published on January 11, 2019“
„hile people are amazed at the ancient Egyptian pyramids, one thing that does not cross the minds of many is how the ancient Egyptians managed to create the pyramids of Giza.
One wonders how they created the great megalithic blocks of stone over the desert and how they could create the work in the temples when they did not have a light?
Could it be that the ancient Egyptians had electricity and batteries?
The ancient Egyptians were in possession of advanced technology
There have been results based on studies and research in which it is suggested that the ancient Egyptians could possess advanced technology thousands of years ago.
Two excellent proofs are the batteries of Baghdad and the wall at the temple of Dendera where there is a Zodiac and other petroglyphs that demonstrate the possession of technology at that time.
YouTube’s Ancient World channel has dedicated a large and incredible document on how the ancient Egyptians possessed advanced technology that allowed them to have batteries and electricity. The temple of Dendera has a wall that shows images that suggest having electric lights as it shows a spiral connected to a large glass tube with another spiral inside.
But the question is where they would have inserted the raw shape of a light bulb.
So could the Egyptians have invented the first electric battery?
The Baghdad Stack could be the answer to this question. It is a clay pot that has a cap and an iron bar which, through the cap, enters a central copper cylinder. Scientists think that the jar may have been filled with vinegar and have made a working battery replica.
The rough shape of a light bulb depicted on the temple walls would have been connected to the Baghdad battery to give light.“

CANADIANS REPORT SEEING UFOS IN THE SKY AT A RATE OF 3 TIMES A DAY

CANADIANS REPORT SEEING UFOS IN THE SKY AT A RATE OF 3 TIMES A DAY

Acclaimed Canadian ufologist Christopher Rutkowski can be best described as Canada’s Fox Mulder.
He recently travelled to Duncan, B.C., a small town on Vancouver Island that was home to Granger Taylor, whose story is told in CBC Docs POV documentary, Spaceman. Taylor, who became obsessed with space travel, left a note telling his family he could communicate with extraterrestrials and was going on an interstellar journey — and then vanished.
But Taylor wasn’t the only one who reported a strange encounter in Duncan. Lisa Nydahl was a teenager in 1980 when she saw a boomerang-shaped object in the sky over the town, gliding toward the mountains. “It just did a 90-degree turn and went straight up and just disappeared,” she recalls. “It was unlike anything I’d ever seen.”
Rutkowski says that UFO sightings in Canada are more common than we think.
“There are about 1,000 UFO reports filed in Canada every year, and the number remains high.”
Ufology Research, an organization Rutkowski belongs to, has collected and analyzed Canadian UFO report data since 1989. Their 2017 survey showed that a total of 1,101 sightings were reported across the country, at a rate of roughly three per day — the fifth highest number since the group began collecting data in 1989.
The survey also showed that there was an average of two witnesses per UFO sighting and that the sightings lasted about 15 minutes each. Many witnesses were police officers, pilots and other people with keen observational skills.
Most sighting reports in 2017 came from Quebec (518) and Ontario (241), with B.C. coming in third (128). Out of the major metropolitan areas the country, Montreal and Toronto topped the list.
In its final report, Ufology Research broke down cases by the number of witnesses, the level of “strangeness” (an alien encounter being more unusual than flashing lights, for example), the reliability of the sighting and its duration. They also compared the shape of the objects.
The report notes that while an increasing number of cellphones, dashcams and traffic cameras means that reported sightings are more frequently accompanied by a photo or video, these visuals are often of poor quality and less useful to researchers. What’s more, the majority of sightings can be explained as aircraft and other astronomical objects.
…
Still, about eight per cent of all UFO reports in 2017 remain unexplained…
…
Here are a few of Canada’s most famous UFO sightings:
Falcon Lake, Manitoba
In May 1967, Stefan Michalak reported seeing two flying saucers near Falcon Lake. He claimed that one of the aircraft hovered only 45 metres away from him, landed and, as he approached, emitted a beam of light that knocked him to the ground as it lifted off.
Stefan Michalak
Michalak said that he became ill in the following weeks, and a photograph of his chest eight months later showed burn marks in a pattern of dots. The incident was commemorated by a glow-in-the-dark coin released by the Canadian Mint in 2018.
Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia
During the same year as the Falcon Lake sighting, people reported that the night skies over Shag Harbour were glowing with four lights that flashed off and on before crashing into the harbour. Eyewitnesses claimed they watched as a large, orange-glowing object sank into the water.
The RCMP, thinking a plane had crashed, organized a rescue effort, but were unable to recover an object. Divers searched the sea floor but also came up empty. Since no planes were reported missing, the case was classified as a UFO sighting. To this day, Shag Harbour holds an annual festival dedicated to the strange incident.
Marieville, Quebec
In 1989, several people in Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir reported being awakened in the middle of the night by a noise that sounded similar to an electric generator. Witnesses also reported seeing an intense blue light shining outside their windows.
Two days later, a perfect circle, about 20 metres in diameter, was found outside of the home of one of the witnesses. The RCMP were called to investigate, but the source of the lights and strange markings remains unknown.
If you’ve spotted a UFO, here’s how to report it a sighting to Ufology Research.
