Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
The off-the-record story, however, is that at some point in 1975, a Delta Force-type team secretly parachuted into the area, made its way to the Ararat Anomaly, and found not a huge rock or even the remains of a rotting, old, wooden boat but nothing less than the rusted remains of a huge metal craft, one estimated to have become embedded in both the ice and the mountain thousands of years ago. Was it an ancient equivalent of the famous Roswell UFO crash of July 1947? Just perhaps, that’s exactly what it was, and also, just perhaps, the CIA knows that the story of Noah’s Ark was prompted not by acts of God but by the actions of extraterrestrials that visited our world and died in the process.
Although the Second World War came to a decisive and bloody conclusion way back in 1945, it was a six-year-long and carnage-filled event that still provokes major discussion and commentary to this very day. One of the many notable reasons for that same commentary relates to the secret wartime actions of the Nazis in relation to (a) priceless historical treasures plundered by Adolf Hitler’s hordes as a means to fund their war effort and (b) Nazi Germany’s overriding fascination with religious and priceless artifacts.
When the Second World War began in September 1939, Adolf Hitler chose a highly alternative way to help fund the Nazi war machine. He and his cronies descended upon Europe’s museums, palaces, churches, museums, and cathedrals all with one specific goal in mind: loot them of just about as much gold, ancient artifacts, paintings, and priceless treasures as possible. From there, the Nazis then siphoned all of their bounties to a variety of banks, including the powerful Swiss National Bank, in exchange for money—money that would be used to build tanks, aircraft, ships, and weapons.
Despite the fact that the Swiss National Bank consistently denies any collaboration with the Nazis, the words of Stuart Eizenstat, who, during the presidential term of Jimmy Carter, held the position of chief domestic policy adviser, strongly suggest otherwise. In Eizenstat’s own words: “The Swiss National Bank must have known that some portion of the gold it was receiving from the Reichsbank was looted from occupied countries, due to the public knowledge about the low level of the Reichsbank’s gold reserves and repeated warnings from the Allies.” History has shown that much of this looting by the Nazis was undertaken by a secret group called the Ustashe, who specialized in securing the priceless treasures that Hitler demanded.
More than $80 million was made available to the Ustashe, at least some of which is known to have reached the personal hands of powerful Swiss bankers. By early 1945, however, it became clear to the Ustashe that Hitler and the Nazis were on their last legs. The result: the Ustashe began to fall apart with various members doing their own secret deals with Swiss bankers as they fought to survive, and the Nazis spiraled down to their end. Many of the Ustashe focused their activities on Italy, particularly a certain Father Krunoslav Draganovi, who ran Rome’s San Girolamo pontifical college. Very disturbingly, senior staff in the Vatican were fully aware of this Faustian pact—yet did nothing to prevent it from going ahead.
In the immediate postwar era, the U.S. government wasted no time looking into the matter of the secret work of the Ustashe and its links with the Vatican. Emerson Bigelow was an agent of the U.S. Treasury who learned, in 1946, from insider sources at the Vatican that the Ustashe had secretly channeled no fewer than two hundred million Swiss francs to the Vatican to ensure that the money stayed out of the hands of those to whom it righty belonged—namely, those from whom the Ustashe stole it. A further and near-identical amount, Bigelow learned, was held by the Institute for Works of Religion—the Vatican Bank. To this day, rumors continue to circulate that massive amounts of Nazi gold and treasures—stolen by the Ustashe and then transferred to the Vatican—remain hidden deep below the Vatican and the streets of Rome.
The Rendezvous is an entertaining adventure-comedy production that comes across like a slightly darker version of Raiders of the Lost Ark mixed in with a bit of Romancing the Stone, set in the “Age of Terror.” Made in 2016, the movie stars Stana Katic, whose character, Rachel—an American-Jewish doctor—is central to the story that unfolds, and Raza Jaffrey plays Jake (an American Muslim who works for the U.S. government’s Department of State). Jake has the job of informing Rachel that her brother David has been killed, and although she has not seen her brother for a number of years, Rachel is understandably devastated. We quickly learn that David was somewhat of an Indiana Jones type, fascinated by ancient artifacts and treasure hunting. In pursuit of the truth of how David came to die, Rachel and Jake are soon airborne for Jordan and its ancient city of Petra.
As the story develops, however, and as conspiracy theorizing, mystery, and distrust start to take ahold of Rachel, she begins to suspect that Jake is more than he appears to be. Maybe he’s not just someone who is out to help Rachel find the truth surrounding her brother’s death. It turns out that Rachel is right on target. Jake has a hidden, secret agenda. It’s an agenda run by secret elements of the U.S. government. It all revolves around the fact that David had discovered a hitherto unknown Dead Sea Scroll.
A crazy bunch of fanatics—the Armageddonites—are determined to get their hands on the scroll, believing that possession of it will hasten their plans to bring to an end to none other than us, the human race, so we see our heroes on a mission to solve David’s death, to get their hands on the scroll before the Armageddonites can, and to save us all. In the process, we are treated to a lot of witty banter, car chases, dangerous assassins, bullets flying here, there, and everywhere, and much more. It’s a fun movie that I recommend, but something else needs to be mentioned.
In the same way that Raiders of the Lost Ark had a slight amount of truth to it (in the sense that certain Nazis did have an obsession with ancient artifacts), so, too, conspiracies of the Dead Sea Scrolls kind do have some truth to them.
It’s a story that came from a man named Miles Copeland (the late father of Stewart Copeland, the drummer with the Police). During the Second World War, Copeland was attached to the U.S. Strategic Services Unit, moving on to the Counter-Intelligence Corps and, in 1947, to the CIA. It was in that same year that Copeland took on the position of CIA station officer in Damascus, Syria, an office that was housed within the American Embassy.
According to Copeland, one morning in the fall of 1947 his office received a visit from a mysterious Bedouin man, who was acting in a near-cloak- and-dagger-fashion. He presented the puzzled Copeland with something amazing: an old parchment that was clearly extensive and had been carefully rolled up and tied together with string.
