	Letters To The Editor by J. Douglas Kenyon
Index of Issue 14

THE TRUTH IS IN HEREI want to thank you very much for the recent article regarding the coverage of our Sept. 11, 1997, Mars protest rally (along with a discussion of Richard Hoagland's work). I helped to organize the rally (our 3rd time at NASA's doorsteps), and I was quite pleased with the coverage we got from CNN, NBC, ABC, and STRANGE UNIVERSE.

One note of correction, by the way, is that all the photos in your article that you credit to Kynthia were actually taken by me; Kynthia simply mailed them to you because I was out of the country at the time.

We will again do a protest at NASA's JPL when an appropriate occasion comes up and of course, we will send you photos and a story about our event in order to keep you updated.

I was delighted to receive the latest Atlantis Rising with its dramatic cover illustration. Thank you for running my submission...

I continue to find West's and Schoch's conclusions disturbing, so much so, I will not write anything further on the subject until I have returned from Japan next year. I'll be diving on the structures and photographing them myself. No less importantly, I want to learn what the Japanese authorities believe. Only then, perhaps, can the real story come out. Personally, I find Schoch's explanation of the Okinawa features as the results of fracture zone activity unconvincing. In any case, it seems that only personal investigation can be decisive.

It was very good of you to publish West's opinions alongside my article, because it shows we are not afraid of opposing views.

Thanks again for giving me the chance to share what little I know with your readers. I hope they find something worthwhile in this controversy.

Hidden Agendas?

Regarding the article in the latest issue of Atlantis Rising referring to the Japanese abandoning research in cold fusion, I say beware! Having lived and studied in Japan, I know there are secret societies over 1,000 years old . Most of the Japanese elite who control industry consider themselves Samurai, and follow the code of Bushido. This says anyone who is not with us is an enemy. The most admired trait of a Samurai is trickery. For the last 50 years this power elite has been fooling us. They kept telling how bad their cameras, TVs, cars, and motorcycles were then went on to dominate the American market. If they say they are abandoning cold fusion, watch out. There are entire cities of scientists in Japan working on hidden projects. Now and then they will show a clumsy error, such as a research rocket that explodes. Our engineers have laughed at the clumsy undersea tractors and sea planes the Nipponese have built. (Japan is probably the last country in the world still making seaplanes at the Shin Niwa Co.) If a war started with one of her Communist neighbors, I'd bet they could respond with nuclear-tipped missiles in a matter of days. The future, however, is different. Nostradamus mentioned Japan several times. One quatrain says that the rising sun will be buried in the Western waves. I interpret this to mean that Japan will become one with China, sometime after 2,000 A. D.

Vaughn Greene

San Bruno, CA

I'm writing this letter to you to straighten out the record on Mr. Vaughn Greene's bogus claims in the article The Dogu Enigma where he alleges that my name is Von Zeissig rather than plain Zeissig!

Furthermore, he claims that during the early 1950s (before space travel) he discovered the dogu statues and at the time felt sure that they depicted a space suit. In other words, he wants to be known as the original discoverer of said ancient statues as space suits! However what Mr. Greene neglected to mention was that he had come across ceramic Haniwa statues that had appeared much later in Japan than the dogu.

Too, the Spear of Destiny and the Knights Templar have absolutely nothing to do with the ancient Dogu!

Obviously, Mr. Greene has a certain agenda with ties to a secret group who want to control the future.

Also, why was an ugly and crude-looking (i.e., primitive) Dogu deliberately selected as a specimen for Greene's article in your Atlantis Rising magazine?

Therefore can you deny that your magazine operation has ties to the intelligence community? like N.S.A.)...

H. Vernon Zeissig

San Carlos, CA

We cannot respond specifically to all of Mr. Zeissig's assertions here but in a future issue, Mr. Greene will have an opportunity to defend himself. The selection of the particular Dogu statue which appeared with the article was governed by technical considerations. Of the available choices, it was the one with the characteristics most suited to clear reproduction. As for the suggestion that AR has ties to the intelligence community and NSA: In addition to an emphatic denial, we would like to say that even the most cursory examination of our finances should make it clear that this magazine receives no subsidies of any kind, much less from the government though in light of our avowed anti-establishment position on most issues, Mr Zeissig's view is interesting. Like Bob Dole in the credit card commercial, it sometimes seems we just can't win. ED

Babel and the Sphinx

In the Edgar Cayce article of issue #12, it is said the chronicles of Atlantis are in an underground pyramid near the Sphinx. Could this be interpreted as a hidden pyramid associated with the Sphinx? In this way the lost pyramid may be anywhere in the world, and the Sphinx may tell where to find it. The so-called archaeocryptology ought to come in handy here.

People built pyramids with encoded messages all over the world, then lost the ability to do this. Is this what the Babel story tells us? Babelers built a tower, then lost the ability to make understandable statements. When asking why or how this ability was lost we read that the Babel tower failed to do what its builders intended it to do. Perhaps in addition to all the wonderful things pyramids are believed capable of doing there was an additional goal which was not achieved, causing interest in pyramids to be given up. Or, perhaps more likely than surrendering a valuable artifact, the pyramids either became poisonous or stopped working altogether due to a change in the influx of planetary energy due to a cosmic misalignment or due to the use of atomic bombs and other energy weapons at the destruction of Atlantis.

Signs of the Times

I recently was channel surfing and came upon the 700 club with Pat Robertson interviewing the author of The Bible Code. Pat asked him where the prophecies were, concerning Jesus and his return and such. To this the author replied that he intentionally left out any reference to Jesus or any other religious figures, as he was trying to be non-sectarian and as objective as possible. Pat couldn't believe that this man could write a book about the Bible and not include God in the equation. To an incredulous Robertson, the author replied, I don't believe in God. Robertson was left sputtering rhetorically, ...Don't believe in God!? I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the couch. If what this man sees is true we are going to be rocking and rolling by 2000. Can't wait.

Next I would like to add to Kathie Garcia's article on Neptune in Aquarius, being somewhat of an armchair astrologer. Good article but I would add an additional emphasis on the Neptunian delusion that comes from not wanting to see the bad and only the ideal. This time it will again be political and the stage is ripe for a religious/political figure, a sort of mass savior if you will. At the least you will see the growth of charismatic leaders who seem to dupe their followers into believing that they represent some humanitarian cause.

Uranus and the sign Aquarius bring in the issue of FREEDOM. Neil Tyl (sp?), in his book describes heavy balkanizatian of countries due to strong small groups wishing more autonomy (very Uranian/Aquarian). This will likely run along religious lines (Neptune involvement), strong beliefs, or patriotic ideals. It already has in Serbia and elsewhere. Scallion predicts it will happen here, too, starting with Texas. Ready to secede into a new set of colonies? Why not?

Just a quick thought about the coming possible changes to the Earth if the planets align and this causes unusual gravitational strains to the Earth. Are you prepared to notice the small occurrences and report them if they are not so noticeable at first? I really enjoy your magazine and I try to turn as many people as I can on to it. It's not easy to find in our area. As soon as it hits the stand it's gone. It would help if they would get more issues for the stand so people could find it when I tell them about it.

We'll do our best. ED

Too many pseudo-scientists, self-made psychics, fortune tellers and would-be astrologists are publishing books or write for tabloids to sensationalize the millennial phenomenon, which they believe is an omen for bad times. There is no concrete evidence that the end of our civilization is near. Moreover, man hasn't suffered enough to seek the help of the Christ Jesus. The Lord knows it. He has patience. One year for the human race compares to only one day on the celestial calendar. The enclosed message written on September 15, 1997, is based on the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and is an answer to one of many questions. All (Biblical) scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Tim. 3:16)

A Little Applause

I would like you to know how thoroughly I enjoy the magazine, oftentimes reading some article twice. Even though certain articles to me are implausible, naive, or sensational, they do not discount the provocative slant of your magazine.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. My wife seems to be gaining an interest in your magazine, Wonders never cease.

P.P.S. Could you publish this letter some time. I would like to see a letter in print.

Glad to be of service, Kevin. ED

We just got the last issue. Just when we think you couldn't do an any better, you come out with another issue that is truly great.
