Hi Evelyn,

Very interesting post. It's a great reminder that there is "nothing new under the sun" as Ecclesiastes said.

Throughout history there were false prophets, prophets of doom and more that tried to mislead the innocent and gullible. People with strong belief structures rarely fall into the web of those that attempt to mislead and lead astray. In our lifetimes we've witnessed cults that brainwashed, caused havoc, death, loss of property, money and so much more.

Caution, discernment and reality should be guidelines in order not to be fooled and mislead. Thanks for the link to the source.

Shalom,

Peter

Hello Evelyn, Peter and Readers,

While exploring the latest news and information from sources often quoted by the channelers. I was surprised that folks are failing to use discernment and read the "About Me" and the "Disclaimers" on the pages offered as facts. For instance this one in particular.....

Quote:
Please be advised that the Editor of International Currency Review and associated intelligence services cannot enter into email correspondence related to this or to any of the earlier reports.

We are a private intelligence publishing house and have no connections to any outside parties including intelligence agencies. The word ‘intelligence’ on this website and in all our marketing material is used for marketing/sales purposes only and has no other connotations whatsoever: see ‘About Us’ on the red panels under the Notes on the Editor,
Christopher Story FRSA, who has been solely and exclusively engaged as an investigative journalist, Editor, Author and private financial and current affairs Publisher since 1963 and is not and never has been an agent for a foreign power, suggestions to the contrary being actionable for libel in the English Court.

The source is often a marketing site marketing the full story by subscription only. Which is not out of the ordinary untill you understand that "Intelligence" is used make sales and is not necessarily fact but more likely fiction to increase sales.

What do you think?

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,

Hi Jim,

What a foolish question. I think it's their normal "impeccable fairy tale sources".

Shalom,

Peter

Leo Wanta Update: Who is Christopher Story?

As I mentioned before, there are 3 people involved in the Leo Wanta story, Wanta himself, Michael C. Cottrell, and Christopher Story, an editor for a journal titled the International Currency Review. While I am pretty convinced this whole thing is a hoax, I am still not sure what the objective is, so I have been trying to figure out who these people are. I even e-mailed Cottrell, asking how I could get a copy of his thesis, but received no response.
Story, much like Cottrell, has been on Greg Szymanski's radio program several times, making the some ridiculous claims and accusing the same international powers of involvement in this conspiracy. One of his biggest themes is that the mainstream media refuses to pick up the story. He is correct in this, I can still find no references to either Story or the Wanta story, by any mainstream souce. The fact that there is no substantiation for this tale, however, appears the mostly likely explanation.

The International Currency Review, oddly enough, doesn't have its own website, but shares one called World Reports with other periodicals run by Story such as Soviet Analyst and Economic Intelligence Review. This publication is presented as a serious financial journal, with a rather steep pricetag of $525 a year, but it has been rather difficult to find out much about it.

I am a graduate business student, so I looked it up at our library, the University of Washington library has one of the largest collections in the world, and was actually able to find the ICR in the stacks. They only carry it from the early 70s to 1995 unfortunately. Looking through the articles, it appeared to start out as a legitimate financial journal, with mundane articles on currency exchange and monetary policy, but starting in the early 90s began focusing on paranoid Cold War/Illuminati/Vatican conspiracy theories, many of which are reflected on Story's website.

We're not arrogant, we're just smarter than you.

Today is the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year in the north. The Sun's move into somber Capricorn at 12:46 pm EST reminds us of the hard journey back to the light of summer.

The conjunction between jovial Jupiter and idealistic Neptune tempts us to put faith in our dreams. But even the Moon's entry into illusory Pisces at 6:42 pm EST won't be enough for us to forget about reality.

Living in truth is more crucial now than ever before.

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,
