Subterranean Worlds Inside Earth

Timothy Green Beckley

Amazing! THESE subterranean worlds are actually INSIDE the Earth! While the title might be worth a smile, the frontispiece photo of the author/editor is nothing short of surefire hilarity. A full page shot of Beckley in his best Dr. Who-style getup, bursting from his corduroys, clutching a walking stick and affecting an aristocratic sneer. The style carries into the writing with constant use of the royal “we” as well as inflated references to “our files” and “our correspondent.” And what all this reportage comes down to is a collection of anachronistic sci-fi stories presented as “firsthand accounts” of underground cities, etc. Several chapters, however, stand out for their fascinating exposition on the famous “Shaver Mystery,” the serialized visions of welder-writer Richard Shaver, who one day heard coming out of his welding gun “voices of endless complexity,” which he perceived as emanations from an ancient underground civilization of extraterrestrial origin and malevolent intent. Stories of Shaver’s “Deros” became the lifeblood of the magazine Amazing Stories and set the tone for many of the pulps to follow. Also includes an interesting debate between Shaver and the editor who shaped his visions, as well as Shaver’s later speculation on what he perceived to be ancient “cyclopean books” visible in various geological formations.

Ashtar: Revealing the Secret Program of the Forces of Light and Their Spiritual Program for Earth

Tuella

Tuella, a mousy little woman as unassuming as Ruth Norman was extravagant (and who probably bakes a mean Christmas cookie assortment), channels space beings so cute and cuddly and nice they make E.T. look like “Alien” in comparison. Commander Ashtar is either an “Archangel” or “Space Commander” (nobody knows for sure) “directly under the sponsorship of Lord Michael and the Great Central Sun Government of this galaxy, and is second only to the Beloved Commander Jesus-Sananda in responsibility for the airborne division of the Brotherhood of Light.” “Widely known in UFO channeling circles for three decades,” Ashtar’s message is often obscure but generally characterized by a standard soft ‘n’ fuzzy call for an end to all naughty bad things like the H-Bomb, and the subsequent ushering in of a “Golden New Age of Enlightenment” or something equally boring sounding.

The Commander X Files

Commander X

Earth is on the fast track to annihilation, caught between good ’n’ evil alien forces, these primarily being the evil Grays (and Dracos) of popular legend, and the benevolent Nordics, a non-aggressive confederation of human and non-human races. Commander X continues the Nazi-UFO collaboration story, although his version has the Nazis infiltrating the U.S. spy and space agencies through the Grays’ string-pulling. E.T.s respect us, the author claims, because our auras are proportionately larger than theirs. Is this why they’re trying to breed with us, so that they may “experience human emotions” as they have none of their own? X frequently makes reference to Inner Light Publications—one is always wary of authors who reference themselves (or other authors on the same press) for facts.
Fancifully illustrated, including a handful of goodies like hand-drawn maps to Area 51 and the Dulce Air Force Base and a transcript of Commander X’s entertaining hypnosis sessions. The last chapter reprints various classified documents, mostly pertaining to UFOs, and newspaper reprints, mostly pertaining to bio-warfare. Plus an Alternative 3 document based around a certain Mr. X (the, ahem, Antichrist), who, besides orchestrating all wars and political and social strife in all countries, plans to run the world on nuclear energy. This, the most devious Satanic ploy, is just a “simple chore for Mr. X.” Printed only on one side of the page, this weighty tome has only half the information you might expect. SK

The Controllers

Commander X

Some researchers believe the Government has been producing fake UFO material and releasing it to the public in an effort to confuse the multifaceted alien issue. This thin volume by the prolific Commander X (also the title of an alien abductions book by Martin Cannon) is a exemplary candidate for impostor status.
Ostensibly about the “strange, parallel race that has complete control of our educational processes, the media and is a dominant influence over all worldly governments,” The Controllers ping-pongs between hidden races from hominoid saurians to chaneques (Mexican gnomes), but the most pages are devoted to alien breeding programs. It is probably the only book to acknowledge the Tesla free-energy scam and masturbate over far-flung extra-terrestrial theories. They seem to be mutually exclusive. What does this spell? Immense entertainment and, very likely, little fact.
The “Alien Babies” chapter, concerning the Grays’ cross-breeding program, is most amusing: “Hey, I know you guys need sperm. Why don’t you come back in six months.” After the handmaid and her crones have come to visit, the desire for the E.T. lady puts X’s relationship with his inferior girlfriend in jeopardy: “‘I’ve always had a lot of sexually based guilt…’” After his anger dissipates, he becomes “proud of [his] new status as a father of space kids…” and reflects upon his impotency, which “may have been influenced by the E.T.s’ suctioning off my sexual energies, but the root cause [of my dysfunction] was that I didn’t want to share my seed with [my girlfriend]…” Later he describes the astral visits to his “space kids,” and how he tries to connect with them by playing Yanni(!). Throw in some discordant passages about ritual Satanic abuse, secret cities under Death Valley and Nazi occultism, with all the naughty bits emphasized in CAPITALS and you’ve got Commander X. The book makes reference to the Amok Fourth Dispatch, so it can’t be completely fraudulent. SK

Cosmic Patriot Files: Volume One

Edited by Commander X

Take any run-of-the-mill conspiracy theorist, shoot him or her up with crystal meth daily for a year and you’ll wind up with a pretty good approximation of Commander X—still, you could never improve upon the perfection of the original. In this, his two-volume magnum opus, the Commander offers up for the less demanding reader a farrago of startling notions and beliefs, unlikely chronologies, urban myths cloaked in the robes of True Fact, thrilling accounts of Those Who Went Too Far, and justifications for every kind of nitwittery per-petrated in print during the last 50 years.
Whenever the Commander wants to make especially noteworthy points—once or twice a page, on average—he hits “shift” and caps everything for paragraphs at a time, making you feel as if a stranger is sitting next to you on the subway, bellowing in your ear about his fillings. When you read that in 1979 “66 Americans [were] killed by [neosauroid] alien Grays” you imagine, fleetingly, that the Commander might choose to offer some proof along with his proposition, if only accidentally, but no such luck. No matter—if you see it in print, it must be true. Occasional lapses in spelling—”swine flue,” for example, or “glasnose”—in no way damage the reader’s appreciation of the Commander’s inimitable efforts. Text is printed on only one side of each page, making it look as if the reader is getting twice as much material as is really there. Bound in a sturdy electrical-tape-like substance. In short, a winner. JW

Cosmic Top Secret: America’s Secret UFO Program

William F. Hamilton III

“There is,” says the author, “a growing feeling that the top-secret, compartmentalized projects within the military industrial complex are working on extremely advanced supertechnology based upon a study of alien artifacts and hardware found in various UFO crashes. Witnesses in growing numbers have reported seeing UFOs being tested above a Nevada test site, and film crews have videotaped strangely maneuvering brilliant objects that appear at scheduled times during the wee hours.”

The Promise

Fred Bell as told to Brad Steiger

If you ever saw Raiders of the Lost Ark, read any of Brad Steiger’s other “absolutely true” UFO books, or remember the classic Jay Ward cartoon character Commander McBragg (note for the animationally challenged: it was featured in between episodes of “Fractured Fairy Tales” and “Peabody and Sherman” on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show), you’ve already got an idea of what this book is about. In fact, imagine what it would be like as performed by McBragg himself and his rapt but gullible victim/friend at their genteel English country club: “There I was, already surrounded by hulking, heavily armed neo-Nazi assassins, when suddenly, from the corner of the burial chamber, a group of gigantic insectivoid monstrosities from Zeta Reticuli rushed toward me, brandishing deadly disintegrator guns, all demanding that I surrender my Atlantean Space Talisman.” “Good heavens Commander, what did you do?” “Well, sir, first I channeled all of my grooviest vibrations into the Talisman; a green ray shot out of it and zapped the Lugers right out of the hands of those Nazi goons. Then, by an amazing coincidence, my Pleiadian mistress, visible only to myself, you know, used her mystical powers to blast the beastly Zeta Reticulan lizard-things right out of our dimension.” “My word, Commander, that was a close one!” “Hmmm,” he would reply, filling his pipe. “Quite.”
During the course of this 172 page-boast, the reader learns many things about the incredible Fred Bell; but take away the highly improbable (and that’s being generous) “true” story alluded to above, and the remaining “information” can be distilled down to a few sentences: “I am a genius. I built a jet engine in shop class, put it in a car I designed, and, with a little extraterrestrial help, set a land speed record with it. I later joined the Air Force, where I had a cushy job as an officer, but quit in a huff due to righteous indignation regarding their UFO cover-up policies. Then, while working for NASA, I personally warned Dr. Werner von Braun of the problems that led to the Apollo 1 disaster. Due to my unimpeachable morals, and the fact that I am a genius, I alone among Earthmen am in communication with higher beings from the Pleiades. One in particular, a beautiful humanoid space woman, is, like, totally in love with me. And yes… I scored. Oh, did I mention that I am a genius? Yeah, I knew that—just checking to see if you’re paying attention.” DB
