Reply to: ************************************************************************************** Sun Feb 22 1998 I have just acquired a most amazing book, which purports to be a White Paper, written by the Metro Desk editor of the Los Angeles Times (ret.), and sanctioned for public dissemination by visiting extraterrestrials, which reveals the Game Plan for global formal disclosure and formal ambassadorial meetings between Earth's leaders and the Intergalactic Federation. I thought you should see this accurate review, written by another impressed reader. Richard Boylan, Ph.D. "The Contact Has Begun" by Phillip H. Krapf (Jan, 1998) Hay House Publishers A Skeptical Journalist Discovers Firsthand That . . .The Contact Has Begun! " I awoke with a start and found the bedroom bathed in a bluish, iridescent light. At first, I thought that I had fallen asleep with the TV on, but the screen was dark. The lighted dial on the bedside digital clock radio read 2:32 A.M. It was Wednesday, June 11, 1997 à" And so began the most astounding journey that former Los Angeles Times journalist Philip H. Krapf had ever embarked on in the 62 years of his life. In those early-morning hours, Krapf found himself whisked aboard an alien spaceship where he spent the next three days being peacefully indoctrinated into a fascinating new world by extraterrestrials called "Verdants." What he learned there was that these alien beings, who have been observing Earth for 1,000 years, have decided that the time has come for humankind to be invited into the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets. Hundreds of prominent world citizens have been, and are still being, recruited to serve as emissaries to help smooth the way for the eventual extraterrestrial-terrestrial contact that is planned to occur by the end of the first decade of the 21st century. This is the story of one person's recruitment to serve as the official chronicler of the coming event. Without a doubt, this could be one of the most fascinating ---and important--- books you'll ever read in your life! Phillip H. Krapf spent 30 years in the field of journalism as a reporter, photographer, copy editor, and managing editor. He spent the last 25 years of his career on the Metro Desk at the Los Angeles Times. Krapf and his wife make their home in Southern California. The average life span of a Verdant is about 20,000 years. A female can only produce one offspring in her lifetime. The Verdants do not sleep as we know it. They eat but one meal in a 36-hour cycle and are strictly herbivores. Plant matter is grown aboard the ship hydroponically, and a ton of ripened vegetation can be processed into a package weighing no more than a pound and preserved indefinitely. All of the food is processed vegetable matter that is more nutritious than authentic foods. The Verdants home planet is about two and one-half times the size of Earth and is about 14 million light-years from Earth. A year on their planet would equal about three Earth years and a day on their planet is equal to about 55 Earth hours. The Verdants have colonized roughly 246,000 formerly uninhabited planets. Some of these are in the Milky Way Galaxy, but the vast majority are scattered to the farthest reaches of the universe. Their population is variously estimated at a total of 500 trillion on all of the planets, which range from those as small as our own moon to those as large as our own sun. An artificial gravity system is employed to make the magnetic pull on the colonized planet similar to the natural state on Verdant. Their craft named, "Goodwill" was built 200,000 Earth years ago. It has a diameter of about a mile and a half and the center is 3,000 feet thick. There are 32,000 personnel aboard, most of them scientists who conduct the studies of the planet under observation. Computers run the entire ship, so it requires only a handful of crew members to oversee its operation. A large mother ship about 20 times the size of Goodwill is always within close range and is capable of speeding to the monitoring ships within a short period of time, although the distances can be hundreds of trillions of miles of separation. Simple radio waves for communication are totally unfeasible because of the distances involved. Suffice it to say that some kind of inexplicable energy link exists between the various ships to keep them constantly in touch with one another and the home planet. The Goodwill craft is never visible from Earth because it always keeps itself positioned on the far side of the moon in a direct line with Earth. To navigate, the Verdants set their course for a specific location in the universe, engage their mechanisms, and simply disappear from their point of origin and instantly reappear at their destination. When I asked about the purpose of this gathering, Gus [an Earth name that the Verdant chose to go by] replied that it was a "Preparatory Orientation, Education, and Indoctrination" (POEI) conference specifically tailored to ready me for an "important designated task." Pg. 18 People with unimpeachable reputations as upstanding citizens were bypassed under the correct assumption that their credibility would draw too much public attention if they chose to openly discuss their abductions. It was important to the Verdants' mission that all such tales be viewed with great skepticism. This tactic worked admirably because the one common question that skeptics invariably asked, at least in America, was: How come it's always Goober who is abducted and never Sheriff Taylor? The primary reason behind the effort to keep widespread attention to a minimum was to avoid causing panic. Pg. 19 I was told that two classes of people had been selected to prepare for the planned Verdant-Earth summit. The first group consisted of several hundred of some of the world's most prominent citizens. They represented every segment of human endeavor and had recently been, or were in the process of going through, the same Preparatory Orientation, Education, and Indoctrination program that I was currently participating in. They came from government, industry, commerce, religion, the arts, entertainment, sports, education, science, politics, communication, law - from every imaginable field. They had one thing in common, though - credibility - the power to personally influence large segments of the population. Each one was assigned, or was being assigned, a specific function of his or her own toward the ultimate goal of preparing the masses of people on Earth for inevitable contact. Pg. 26 "Okay, so what do you want from me?" I asked. "When the Ambassadors begin revealing the truth about what has been going on in your skies for hundreds of years, it will be necessary for the people of Earth to have access to a central source of information. There will be much fear and curiosity." Pg. 28 [Regarding taking notes] Instead, he promised that I would have total recall of my experiences aboard the ship for about a month. After that, my capacity for recall would return to normal, and I would remember whatever the average person might recollect under similar circumstances. Total recall would be especially valuable when writing dialogue to ensure that direct quotes were verbatim accounts, he said. Pg. 34-35 So far, something like 27,000 species have been assimilated into the universal alliance of planetary civilizations. Many of those species originally had been isolated and confined until evolution did its job. Only about 200 species are currently confined to their home planets, the Verdants said. Pg. 51 [While onboard the Goodwill] I followed her out the door and into the corridor. We hadn't gone more than 50 paces before I spotted another human strolling toward us, accompanied by a Verdant. When we were within 20 feet of each other, I immediately recognized him. These guys weren't kidding when they said they were bringing aboard some very important people. This guy was big-time. It turned out that he was also taking a tour with his personal guide and attendant. The guides made no attempt at keep us from seeing each other. Of course, this prominent person would not have recognized me, but I had no trouble identifying him. Pg. 57 [Female Verdant] "We have never made the mistake of bringing anyone aboard who does not fit the profile that we are looking for." "So there's a particular type that you select?" I asked. "Of course. Visionaries," she said. Pg. 59 The beam originates from the starship, is bounced off the shuttle craft, and is deflected to Earth's surface.There the beam is focused on the intended target, who is then transported up.Pg71 "If there is only one message that you take back to your people," Gus continued, "it is imperative that they understand that the Verdants are a peaceful race, completely and totally lacking in aggressive tendencies. We are not conquerors or warriors. Your people must understand that. They must not fear us." There are no Verdant armed forces, and there have not been any for several million years. The only weapons of destruction exist in Verdant museums. "Not even defensive weapons?" I asked. "What happens if you come across a warlike species that is already in space before you discover them? How would you defend yourselves?" " 'Absolute intelligence' is the ultimate weapon against which there is no adequate defense, even by the most aggressive and advanced military power," Gus said. Pg. 74 When contact has been firmly made, social and cultural changes will begin taking effect,and it is anticipated that the vast numbers of peace-loving people throughout the world will begin dismantling military forces as one of their first orders of business. If no weapons are allowed in space, there will become, most likely, a concurrent intolerance for devices of destruction on Earth. Isolated from the interplanetary community, the brutes of the world will also becomeincreasingly isolated on Earth. Eventually, they will no longer be any match for their more peaceful brethren, who will become overwhelmingly empowered as they take their place in themfederation of star travelers. Pg. 78-79 The human species, I was told, is the most diverse that the Verdants had ever encountered. Such diversity is a rarity in the universe of civilized beings, and although the Verdants have come to expect the unexpected this came as a mild surprise to them. Until they discovered humans, they had never encountered a species in which there were wide character variations between individuals in the group. That is, a species might be good or evil, or any gradation in between, but never good and evil existing side by side in the same species. "Never before had we seen cruel and remorseless individuals exist side by side with kind and compassionate ones within the same species," Tom [another Verdant] said. Pg. 82-83 Typically, when helping to prepare other species to make the transition from planet-bound animal to star traveler, the Verdants simply shared their technology with the entire civilized species. But that formula won't work because of humankind's unrivaled diversity. The goal, in this case, is to preserve the redeeming qualities in the species while ensuring that the darker elements of the human character-personified by the dangerous rogues of society-are isolated.Pg84 "Who will oversee these changes?" I asked. "Will the Verdants become the rulers of Earth?" "Oh, not at all," George [another Verdant] replied. "Mankind will maintain complete and sovereign control over its own destiny. We will merely offer you guidance, which you will be free to accept or reject." Pg. 94 Every species, he said, is an equal part of the whole. There is no superpower, as such. Every world maintains its sovereignty while participating equally in the intergalactic community. Pg. 95 After the report (this book) that I was supposed to write was published, I was reminded, that Ambassadors who had been chosen to serve as liaisons between our two peoples would begin preparations to carry out their assignments on prearranged cues. Each step in the campaign that would ultimately lead up to a summit meeting between representatives of the two species would be built upon a previous event. The process would start slowly at first, beginning with the white paper, and grow exponentially in carefully planned and controlled stages until the total framework was in place. Somewhere along the line, one of more Ambassadors would supply the leaders othe major governments of Earth with advance information on the exact time,date, and place that acertain prodigious event would occur. This spectacle would be of such monumental proportions -beyond the pale of any Earth society to execute - that no intelligent,reasonable leader would be able to doubt the authenticity of its extraterrestrial origins. Pg. 115-116 Once the Ambassadors, relying heavily upon their own extensive credibility, had sufficiently influenced public opinion, certain select individuals would deliver to the world'sleaders the details on making arrangements for the summit conference - and actual contact. Thepurpose of the contact would be to lay out the ground rules and the conditions for smoothing the path for our eventual climb into the stars as members of the interstellar community. Pg. 117 That said, I can reveal that the visitors plan to transform a 600-square-mile area of arid wasteland somewhere in the American Southwest into a green grassland overnight. Shortly thereafter, a vast structural complex will appear in the converted grasslands where the emissaries of all the nations on Earth and delegates of the star travelers will meet. It will be a small self-contained city unto itself and will be named "Genesis." The total process will take about a year to complete, I was told. Once it is determined that the Earth is ready, each government will select a number of volunteer representatives from every imaginable field of human endeavor - scientists, teachers, pilots, artists, philosophers, historians, astronomers,engineers, doctors, bankers, industrialists, lawyers, journalists, ad infinitum - to participate in an intensive POEI program. They will live in Genesis for the duration of the program, which will last for one to three years, depending upon their specialties and their field of study. They will board a shuttle craft each morning, Monday through Friday, to be transported to their classrooms aboard the Goodwill, and will be returned to the Genesis space port each evening. Pg.118-120 "Believe?" Gina asked in wonder. "We don't just believe. We know. Our scientistsproved the existence of the soul millennia ago." Gina said. Pg. 124 "Tell this to the people of Earth," Gus continued. "We come to you as the shepherd comes to the lamb. We know the way, and we will guide your step. We have discovered the light, and we will shine it upon your path. "Space is a house of peace, and we welcome your people. Go into the dawn of this new day without fear or trepidation, but rather with high spirits and a thankful heart. "Mankind is on the threshold of rebirth," he concluded. Pg. 131 [In paraphrasing] The Verdants are in regular contact with the Ambassadors. Pg. 138 All Ambassadors were expected to draw up a detailed proposal on how they intended to conduct and execute their various assignments. Pg. 140 He [another terrestrial human who was contacted by the Verdants] said that mostAmbassadorial assignments had been made, but that there was still a lot of hard preliminary work that had to be completed before the first public acknowledgment by an Ambassador would be made. And that was still several years away. Pg. 141 All preliminary plans should be completed by the first couple of months of the year 2001. Pg. 150 Sometime in the first few months of 2002, the first public acknowledgment by anAmbassador will be made confirming the accuracy of the schedule of events as laid out in thisbook. This is when actual media coverage will begin and the story will be broken worldwide. Sometime in the year 2004, the spectacular events that the Verdants promised to stagewill occur. As noted earlier, these phenomena will be so dazzling that no reasonable person could doubt their extraterrestrial origins. In the year 2005, if all goes according to schedule, the promised green grassland will appear overnight in the American Southwest, after which the city of Genesis will arise. Around 2008, Earth will be inducted into the intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets and the united Governments of Earth will have been formed, with Genesis as the capital.
