A Personal Breakthrough: A Huge Question Answered
Thursday October 16th, 2003
By Whitley Strieber
http://www.unknowncountry.com/journal/
In 1989, I was in anguish. I knew that something truly extraordinary was
happening to me, and also that our degenerate culture was laughing it off
with rectal probe jokes. I am a very private man, and on a personal, sexual
level very conservative, and I found this not only humiliating but
depressing. It was depressing to see that the amazingly rich and complex
experience that I was having was being rejected. But I also knew that there
was no historical record of anything similar. I had made a very special sort
of a breakthrough that could have been a rich source of new scientific
knowledge, but it was being treated as a joke.
Whitley was unquestionably raped. Rape is a very emotionally and physically
traumatic experience for women, but it is even more so for men because "it isn't
supposed to happen" to men. Certainly one would not be proud of it or go around
telling everybody about all the gory details of how they were raped. The fact
that Whitley could so easily describe his rape to the whole wide world without
batting an eye, makes Whitley's whole story suspect to me. And by "suspect", I
don't mean that I believe Whitley is delusional or hypnopompic or has organic
illusions and therefore he has an excuse to actually believe the stories he
tells, what I mean is it sounds like he fabricates his tall tales out of thin
air on purpose.
Why? I don't know. It certainly earned him his five minutes of fame and some
fortune and maybe that is all he wanted. That is all alot of people ever want.
But if he made the story up, he is a victim to his own game forever. He can
never come out now and tell people, "Ha! I made the whole thing up and your guys
were stupid enough to fall for it!". He would have to pretend he was raped and
abducted by the "visitors" for the rest of his life.
In those days, radio and television shows, eager to be as cruel to me as
possible for the entertainment of their audiences, used to try to obtain
copies of my second hypnosis tape. They wanted to get a laugh out of a man
describing how he had felt while being raped.
We all know perfectly why they would do that...because no man or woman in their
right mind would get raped and then casually tell everyone they meet the story
about how they got raped. That isn't believable or credible in the slightest.
Men normally and naturally do not get raped and then go around telling everyone
about how they got raped; giving details like how they were penetrated, how long
it took, what their rapist was feeling during the act, and so on. It clearly
sounds like a fabrication. Even if it were true, you have to ask yourself, "What
is wrong with a man like that that he would go around describing his rape to
anyone that was willing to listen?".
Then I stopped altogether even taking calls from the media. I confined my
media appearances to book tours only.
Well if this is true, it could mean one of two things:
1) Whitley found out that fame isn't all it is cracked up to be, since it
results in a total loss of privacy, or
2) Whitley is completely and totally naive about how society works.
Whitely could be naive, since the previous editorial article of his makes it
sound like he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, ie -- that part about
growing up around alot of servants. He could have lived a very sheltered and
pampered life. But then again, his other stories make it sound like he was born
to a simple middle-class family.
But then, as I was publishing
Confirmation, Parade Magazine suddenly published a false article stating
that I had admitted that I had temporal lobe epilepsy and had become a
celebrity supporter of the Epilepsy Foundation.
This was completely false, literally made up out of whole cloth, and I was
able to force Parade to print a retraction as prominent as the original
article. The editor confidentially told me that the source of the story had
been Parade’s publisher. I soon discovered that he was a prominent U.S. Air
Force personality, a general in the reserves, and an Air Force loyalist.
I have always believed that this story was concocted as part of a debunking
effort being carried out by the Air Force. Also as part of this effort, the
U.S. intimidated agents, film studios and television outlets into not doing
anything with Communion, even though it was a tremendous bestseller and
would obviously make a highly successful movie. As a result, no studio would
touch the book, and the film was made independently on a tiny budget and was
hardly distributed at all.
Well you know what? The visitors don't give a damn! Good or bad, true or false,
it doesn't matter what the media says about the visitors, the visitors simply do
nothing about it either way. It's almost as if the visitors didn't exist. Of
course, if the visitors didn't exist, then neither would the alien conspiracy.
But guess what else? The conspirators don't give a damn! Good or bad, true or
false, it doesn't matter what the media says about the alien conspiracy, the
conspirators simply do nothing about it either way. It's almost as if the
conspirators didn't exist. Is that an example of what is called a "Catch 22" or
what?
A few days after I found the tape, I received an e-mail from a reader of
this website that proved to be of tremendous, even epochal, importance in my
life. The reader theorized that I had been the victim of something called
electroejaculation. This involves the insertion of a probe into the rectum,
and the application of an electrical current that stimulates muscles to
erect the penis and cause an ejaculation. It is used in animal husbandry and
in sex clinics.
It is still a rape. And it is too bad that it took Whitley 20 years to figure
out what to call his rape, because if he had told us this same thing 20 years
ago, maybe his rape story wouldn't have been so ludicrous. But if the visitors
didn't want to inform Whitley what they were doing and didn't care what
humiliation he would suffer if he were stupid enough to tell everyone the story
about his rape, it most certainly wasn't worth it. Whitley was played the fool
by the visitors. He was their little puppet on a string that they could taunt
and manipulate to his detriment.
Yet Whitley loves and admires his visitors. That is the problem with people that
are easily impressed. They worship their gods (real or imaguned) and are afraid
to displease their gods, so they do their gods every bidding, without moral or
ethical or logical restraint. That is Whitley's real lesson here. Show some
intellectual restraint when confronted with the unknown that is way more
powerful than oneself -- real or imagined!
To me, this has closed the door on any possibility that what happened to me
that night was in any way imaginary or illusory. It was a real event, and I
do not believe that it was done by people in disguise, but by nonhuman
creatures of unknown origin. The reason that I am so firm about this second
part is that I believe not only my own eyes, but the testimony of hundreds
of thousands of people, and most especially, the recent British Columbia
abduction case of “Cynthia,” which is the best documented case of this kind
in history.
Cynthia was not alone when she entered the initial phase of the encounter.
She was with another witness who shared her perceptions and her experience,
exactly as people do in normal life. Not only that, both women suffered
physical after- effects, and the other witness experienced a mysterious burn
above her coccyx that was severe enough to require medical attention. In
addition, researcher Brian Vike has identified witnesses who observed
unusual lights in the sky in the area where Cynthia and the other witness
were having their encounter, at the time that it was taking place.
The whole entire province of British Columbia is not considered "in the area"
where Cynthia was having her encounter. And only Cynthia and a very close friend
with her had an "encounter" -- everyone else just saw some unidentified lights
over somewhere else. The story of Cynthia is not any more factually verifiable
than any other abduction storytale. Only believers find it credible.
What danger would be great enough to turn a government
against its own people—indeed, its own species and its world?
We don't need no aliens or visitors to turn the government against us. From the
very beginning, our leaders have refused to fully represent the people for two
reasons: Greed and a lack of empathy for the pain and suffering they could cause
to others by their self-centered actions. With friends on the inside like that,
who needs enemies from the outside?
My uncle, Col.
E. M. Strieber, told me that he was aware of the arrival of materials from
the Roswell crash at Wright Field in the summer of 1947. He also told me
that he’d understood that the secrecy initially came from concern that they
might represent a new type of Soviet craft, but later that there was a
threat, if the secret of the presence of these intruders was not kept, to
destroy the earth in an instant.
Which means the visitors can't be stopped.
General Arthur Exon, who was for many years my uncle’s commanding officer,
told me that he had been a member for the Air Force of a committee that
studied this situation for many years, and indeed, as late as 1988, was
still attending meetings at Wright-Patterson. He said that his belief was
that the secrecy was for a more positive reason, which was that we would be
culturally destroyed if we were exposed to much higher visitor knowledge,
much as primitive civilizations have been destroyed on earth when exposed to
scientifically advanced cultures.
No primitive civilization has ever been destroyed by exposure to higher
technology or science. They have either been absorbed or they died off due to
exposure to new and deadly diseases they have never encountered before.
As I have written in these columns before, I also believe that there is
another possible reason for the secrecy, which is that official admission of
the reality of the visitors might be a sort of trigger that enables them to
come swarming into our world—to actually make our world part of theirs.
So?
Certainly, in dealing with an unknown as toxic as this one is on so many
different levels, any government would be extremely cautious. If it found
that it had to give up a little of the dignity of a few of its people, and
perhaps a few lives, in return for not causing the collapse of civilization
or worse, the total destruction of the planet, then there is no question
that it would decide to sacrifice the lives.
Again, that simply wouldn't happen and has never happened. Humankind could only
benefit from such an encounter in the long run...the rest is paranoia and fear
of change.
But, if you do this, please reflect on the importance of what you are doing.
You are helping the visitors and the government to accomplish a task they
must very much want to accomplish, which is to see my voice silenced. Do you
really want to help the rapists of mankind?
Remember Kazaa or Napster? History repeats itself.
In my next journal entry, I will get into the question of why they don’t
simply kill people like me and Budd Hopkins and the others who are
presenting credible and believable evidence to the public.
Because the truth is that people like Whitley and Budd Hopkins are not credible
or believable to the general public. They just find their storytales amusing.
We are oppressed
by the masters of the lie and their minions, no doubt of it, but there is
good out there, too, as we shall see, and it comes from a very surprising
direction.
I can't wait to read it.
