The Billy Meier UFO contacts singularly authentic ongoing for 80 years the key to our future survival

The Rush to Misjudgment

People need to take self-responsibility for their own lives, and employ more critical thinking, instead of falling for demagogues and hysterical manipulators

Regarding so-called crisis actors and Sandy Hook, things are not necessarily always exactly as they appear. While the person speaking in the video seems to be incongruent, considering the tragedy that they supposedly have just experienced, there’s a few things to say. First, it is somewhere around five years ago, at least, that I began noticing a very strange phenomenon.

I found it bizarre and startling that people who had just experienced the loss of a loved one, usually by murder, a gang shooting, some type of huge tragedy, etc., were quite willing to answer questions by the media. As soon as a microphone was shoved in their face, and a camera was on, they’d answer any and all questions posed to them at a time when a… “normal” human being would be overcome with grief.

Perhaps because black and Hispanic communities are, by and large, more affected by such tragedies, it seems they dependably respond to what I think is the invasive media. Though not necessarily without some anger, sorrow, grief, etc., they willingly answer questions from strangers about what would feel like an unbearable loss of a loved one.

I think I understand now, to some degree, how this phenomenon has occurred. Over the past several decades, many people have come to believe that any kind of fame, notoriety, appearance in the media, etc., is the highest form of human attainment. This, along with all other forms and effects of numbing and dumbing down the populace, have contributed to the cheapening of human life, something which is now not only now an American phenomenon.

Add to the mix overpopulation, increased single-parenting (usually mothers), an ever-worsening economy, environmental degradation, etc., and a dehumanizing effect has occurred, suffusing the human consciousness with meaninglessness and individual inconsequentiality. This seems to me to be often ubiquitous in non-affluent minority communities.

But even if my layman social observations are correct, how would it relate to the seemingly incongruous behavior of an apparently middle-class white parent who ostensibly just suffered an ultimate loss, the murder of their child?

The factor here that strikes me the most is the rush to judgment by those who, like myself, may not be trained and clinically qualified observers and analysts of human behavior under such extreme conditions. But people often do strange things when in some state of shock that is out of the ordinary for them.

It also ties in with the underlying opportunism that various conspiracy theorists, like Alex Jones, are willing to employ in their rush to judgment, in order also to exploit his audience, preying on their characteristic lack of thinking for themselves, of not thinking deeply about complex situations, and who want quick, sensationalized opinions to justify their own impulsive reactions.

I would assume that Jones’ audience is primarily white, lower-middle to lower class, and who, in the past, were seemingly less frequently being victimized in the same way that occurs in many minority communities, i.e. daily killings of young males, as well as many more victims – men, women and children – who are the accidental collateral damage of gang violence and crime. But with the ever-increasing mass shootings in the country over the past few years, where more whites are also the victims, interviews with white parents and relatives may be happening more frequently. I don’t know for certain.

But since these ever more frequent mass and often random shootings occur across the socio-economic spectrum, certain behaviors and ways of speaking, etc., not usually associated with higher-economic level people will be present too. There may still be questions about why people who may be – correctly or incorrectly – often perceived as more guarded in their public speech and display of emotions would also be willing to make public statements to the media so soon after such a tragedy.

But while all of this can be discussed and considered, what about…Alex Jones? So far, I haven’t seen people ask why, with the vast amount of money Jones admits to making despite his declaring bankruptcy – while still relentlessly pitching his products and playing upon the sympathies of his supporters – didn’t Jones spend a few thousand dollars and hire some private detectives to get actual evidence that the reported shootings never happened, that the purported families, dead children, etc., didn’t exist, and every other necessary detail that any…responsible journalist and investigator would be required to do before they set the media ablaze with the theories he presented as facts?

I personally have no certain knowledge of the true facts. But Jones now was certain enough to offer belated apologies to people he admits are the actual parents, of the actual children, actually killed, during this actual massacre.

What a guy.

When the true facts come out about the singularly authentic Billy Meier UFO contacts and information regarding UFOs, COVID-19, the environmental destruction, overpopulation, the coming US civil wars, WW III, etc., etc., and that Alex Jones – just like the MSM – was long provided and well aware of, but suppressed and censored it for his own profit, celebrity, cultic, religious God-is-in-charge delusions, right-wing, pseudo-patriotic, misplaced Trump-embracing, civil-war promoting, agenda, what will his uncritically thinking defenders have to say?

Speaking of Billy Meier, who unarguably knows more about anything of significance than Alex Jones, have you ever seen Meier blustering, fuming and sweating, making fevered pitches to raise money for anything, let alone to spread unsubstantiated theories and rumors, promote armed conflict and insurrection, political partisanship, etc.? Have you ever seen him exhibit that kind of behavior even to promote his independently authenticated evidence, prophetically accurate information, or incomparably brilliant Creation-energy teaching?

Why not?

Instead of pitying and/or defending Jones, it should be understood that he is merely reaping the consequences of his foolish, irresponsible, narcissistic actions (which he’ll try to make more money off of anyway). People need to take self-responsibility for their own lives, and employ more critical thinking, instead of falling for demagogues and hysterical manipulators who, perhaps, once had clearer vision themselves, and the potential to become wise, true and good leaders, who could’ve and would’ve taught the people by example, with neutrality, how to live in true peace, love, freedom and harmony.

As real men and women, as…true human beings.

Duke

I can’t remember a time where Captain Bullhorn politely suggested folks to write to their representative or do anything to explain or understand how the American political system works at any level (municipal, state, or federal). It’s much easier to crash a public sidewalk or protest with a Bullhorn to make a name for oneself. It seems more like a trend in the early 90s for this type of in your face entertainment just notched much higher for audiences to watch. Being derisive to the general public by calling them sheeple is the best copout he’s come up with.

And yet beyond Mr. Bullhorn, there is a trend by certain CEOs to go on record and also without any evidence as Mr. Bullhorn has done, sprout nonsense and rubbish.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/aug/11/whole-foods-ceo-john-mackey-socialists-taking-over

“They’re marching through the institutions. They’re taking everything over. They’re taking over education. It looks like they’ve taken over a lot of corporations. It looks like they’ve taken over the military, and it’s just continuing,” he told the libertarian magazine Reason in a podcast released on Wednesday.”

And his solution is?

Terry Carch I Love Erra

Hey Duke did you ever also think of the other even “BIGGER BULLHORN” Trump and his measly children even taking the 5th Amendment so Trump just stached 100 rounds of ammo while Maralargo is closed and “THAT BULLHORN” is now in Bedminister NJ planning to start a civil war and escape jailtime? “GO FIGURE!”

John Webster

Right, Duke . . ‘Mr. Bullhorn’ has represented a loud ‘n’ proud perspective on this, that, and too many other things . . . yet, Mr. Meier . . . all through the decades, has voiced a humble, rational truth . . an Earth human reality that requires no sensationalism!

Dan Williams

It reminds me of the time when Jones, Icke et.al were at the peak of their conspiracy game, whom with their numerous seminars, vlogs, shows and interviews coerced large demographics of people, most i’d give the benefit if the doubt were stood at a crossroads curiously evaluating life, trying to find their way using the right sign-posts to the truth, only to come upon deluded charlatans whom completely lost themselves, thought it would be a good idea to give those people directions, ultimately sending those people into places which have no bearing.
The piece i’m most reminded of was the chemtrails conspiracy, which i’m sad to say began resurging once the army of louse came back out from under the damp rot which seemed to be their most comfortably habitable environment, to once more throw these same accusations around with not a shred of intelligence to share between a pair of braincells.
It was around the late 2000’s when YT was awash with these channels promoting themselves like Jones and Icke proteges and some of their stuff was actually plausible.
The only problem is when you mix lies with truth there are usually two distinct outcomes – the first is all out rejection based on the identity and credibility of the source (which is always exploited), and the second is once the lie is found to be a lie, the truth is smothered and judged to also be untrue.
This ironically is the method used by the authorities to manipulate these very people with multi-faceted psychological coercion, by mixing truth and falsehoods into every habitual speech, article and order, ultimately tricks them into determining the truths to be lies, and in their mindless reactivity and obvious ignorances end up doing everything the authorities need them to do, which in their blind stupidity turns them into participating advocates for the tyrants they are fighting against.
It’s this stupidity which led many to lose their minds and unsurprisingly become somewhat radical, because in their forced helplessness they had to resort to some sort of primitive outburst of violence to ‘do something about it’. So a group of these people, who ended up blocking me, were discussing and planning on shooting a chemtrail jet out of the sky. The reason I was blocked and abused by their cult followers was because I was asking the simple questions which related to gathering material from actual reality, but it was clear that reality was not of interest for these people.
If I recall, large numbers of people alerted YT to the possibility that these people were actually conspiring to shoot down one or more objects that their insane conspiracy delusions said was a jet spraying killer chemtrails when in fact that 99% of them would have been commercial airliners carrying hundreds of innocent passengers of all ages.
I still remember two really decent fellas who fell too deep into the conspiracy trap sectioned themselves because by their own admission lost their sanity. They were locked in conspiracy anxiety and fear which consumed their lives to the point of chronic paranoia. I never knew what happened to them.
But when Corona came along and then the vaccination and the despotic regimes going into overdrive they all seemed to regress back to that same compartmentalised craziness where everything had to fit inside the tiny box of conspiracy theory and absolutely nothing outside of that box was real.

I tell you, Jones and his peers have a lot to answer for.
But one thing I and many have always said as far back as the mid 2000’s; with all those who have been targeted for years, i.e Billy, why is it that these chaps have always been left alone to say whatever they want in public and never persecuted by these authorities? The answer became obvious. They’re Pied Pipers, leading the juvenile minded folk further and further away from reality, truth and leaving them lost, confused, deluded and derelict.

Gordon Barnes

Call me a bit of a weird O but I love watching these YT channels just for the pure entertainment value, they give me such a laugh with not an ounce of evidence and keep my mind active by thinking logically about what I’m watching and the fact that how many people actually believe the waffle.

On a different note have noticed how the weather is changing dramatically and people are now beginning to be concerned about water and the shortage of it, in the UK how the south and Eastern areas have not had rain for over 60 days and fires are breaking out in crops etc. Ah yes we were warned… But did not listen.

Terry Carch I Love Erra

Ever notice just how fast the sun is now moving ever faster now that the earth is moving even faster?

george madeyski

Mike, Billy unlike Trump had over 700 face to face contacts w/Pleiadians. But even then I think that if he had at least one contact with Sfath like Truman had opportunity to experience I think that would completely change him. You must understand he is completely swamped in the sea of Secret services misinformation and he don’ even know like Jo Biden about Sfath sealed envelopes in the presidential safe at the White House. So was there any effort at all to communicate/educate Trump by Pleiadians or Billy?

Melissa Osaki

Hi George,

It is now over 800 contacts with the Plejaren. I don’t think it would have made any difference because the people in charge don’t want the masses to know the truth.

Change has to come from the people. The change has to start at the individual level and spread out over time. The Plejaren aren’t going to contact anymore earth humans because their efforts have been fruitless in the past. The people refuse to think and they continue to degenerate into barbarism. We are pretty much left to figure it out for ourselves. We must look inside ourselves and make the connections between the material and Creation-energy stages of evolution. We will remain stagnant until those two things find their oneness.

Terry Carch I Love Erra

What about the few of us who are willing to make the changes nesseccary to the next level in the Creation energy level to move on up to the Plejarens level and get out of harms way etc?

Melissa Osaki

Terry,

That won’t happen for a verrrrrrrry long time. We have an enormous amount of work to do with the Creation-energy teaching. The majority of humankind still believes in a deity or deities. They have no education in the matters of spiritual or consciousness evolution. They live purely in the material realm while greedily striving for more material riches. You have to think of your fellow human beings and not just yourself.

You might as well buckle up and hunker down for a long journey. Pack a lunch.

george madeyski

From what I see right now only Trump can ‘duke it out’ with deep state and at the same time run prosperous economy giving lower middle class(60%) chance to have good job leading together to life conditions that are necessary as stated by Ptaah/Billy to push educational/intellectual/spiritual cognizance level of understanding ones life and being active inquisitive member of society not allowing for the dark side to flourish and choke them for more degeneration and Slavery.

If you know of anybody else right now that can do this – Please, let me know?

Melissa Osaki

Someone who is wise and has a neutral tone. Tulsi Gabbard would be far better than Trump, but politics are too corrupted to do anything useful. The whole system needs to be changed so that it represents real equality for all people. Politics and religion are two sides of the same coin.

https://theyflyblog.com/2019/09/the-wrong-wrong-man/

george madeyski

The whole system is not going to be changed until Deep state is drained out of power(like you drain the smelly swamp).
The changing of the system has to done by somebody that can take the total abuse of deep state and come up victorious.
What you’re saying is she can be better after someone else wins the war and changes system for her to be the prez.

Melissa Osaki

That’s not what I’m saying. The whole system is corrupt, but she is far better than Trump could ever be. No one person can change the system, especially Trump.

Robert William Dawson

Well said.

Irene Clow

The video of Robby Parker spoke for itself and no amount of spin can change what is brazenly apparrent.

If this forum wants to get into a crisis actor debate then, I relish the opportunity to expose other false flag ops by deep state against the American people.

They want our guns, they own the NSA the CIA and obviously the FBI. Billys contact notes name the CIA & the NSA as deep state.

You really think they wouldnt false flag us from our guns?

You really think it isnt happening?

My grandfather raised me to think for myself, no matter who lectured berrated or attempted to diminish me.

It doesnt surprise me how many here are pack followers, scared to oppose a word in the blog, lest they be smarmily corrected.

911 inside job and if one of you lame squirts has the tiny balls to debate it, l will tear them off and hang them from my rear view.

The deep state has white anted all three branches of the US govt and you all think Donald Trump is a criminal because the lacky CIA controlled media tells you so.

With a public like this there is no end to what they can do. America is doomed because it is run and populated by globalist deep state actors and its civillian enablers.

Melissa Osaki

Provide the evidence for your claims, or take your demeaning and gross accusations somewhere else.

America has no one to blame but itself. It’s full of stupid people who think that intimidation and fear are a proper means to get what they want. They callously attack and humiliate their perceived enemies for the purpose of acquiring more wealth and power. The greed of America and Americans knows no bounds. The real enablers are all those who turn a blind eye while ignorantly electing total morons who have not one iota of wisdom or intelligence. America’s downfall is the unescapable result of cause and effect.

Irene Clow

Evidence of my claims?
Demeaning and gross accusations?

The pompous pedagogue Mellissa tables another empty word salad.

My claims? Hmm the evidence supporting US govt engineering of 911 is vast and we can start anytime your vaccuos self wishes.

Deneaning and gross accusations?

Dont know what youre on about and l doubt you do either.

Melissa Osaki

Sure thing, Irene. You constantly blow your own horn to hear yourself talk, while rarely saying anything meaningful at all. As Michael correctly stated earlier, you appear to have a false sense of superiority, but no one here is buying the charade. The way you treat your fellow human beings says a lot about you and the way you look at yourself.

I’m also not interested in 911 conspiracies. The world is standing at the abyss and you’re still chasing the 911 whodunit. That’s about the same as chasing lights in the sky. No thanks.

Irene Clow

“A lot of they they they”

Michael you know lam referring to one entity, the shadow govt, so your sentence seems silly.

BTW, l dont expect any of these men to do anything for me, so l dont accept that demeaning aside from you.

I havnt attacked you for your positions on this and if the best you can do is make jabs as if lam a weak minded girl then it says more about you than me.

To see you attack these men makes you look petty spiteful and perhaps even jealous.

As l told Mellisa above anytime either of you has the courage to open a dialogue on 911 evidences, l will be happy to educate both of you.

Until then try not to get personal with me and l will respond inkind.

I dont expect either of you to accept this 911 challenge as you are obviously willfully ignorant of the facts and both prefer to editorialize and launch personal attacks.

I dont want to be provoked again so please do not do this.

Irene Clow

Billys story about 911 has zero to do with the evidence Michael. I suggest you actually read the NIST building performance reports and the USGS heat readings of that site. Steel towers dont dissolve to powder unless they are extensively wired with explosives.

Billy says dont believe me and think for yourself. The Plejaren had used falsehoods to protect Billy before and there is every reason to suspect it continues.

BTW, lecturing me about focussing on survival, instead of things like this is rather hypocritical, considering you wrote the article on Alex Jones and then a follow up article on crisis actors.

The only thing l suggest you do is educate yourself before labelling me as a conspiracy theorist.

Check your dictionary where it describes conspiracy. The news is conspiracies are defined their. They have existed on earth for millenia and are without a doubt are ongoing in a miriad of forms.

People rightfully exercise their critical thinking by theorizing they exist. How else can they be uncovered?.

Certainly not by ridiculing their contemplation. Such retoric only serves to keep them secret. Isnt that obvious?

If you stick to writing about mission relative subject matters, l will be more than happy to respond inkind.

PS your bear is asking to be renamed.. lam doing my best with him.

george madeyski

Mike,
this is not about hysteria and rage. ‘Spending more time pursuing… the way to live’ requires stable environment where people are not getting hit with runaway inflation and government is not weaponizing it’s civil agencies like IRS to shoot and kill those Americans who will resist eviction – ‘on the street’ from their homes as IRS seem fit to execute – without actually having police powers granted to them by constitution. Or our government recent Empowering US military to take over Department of health functions and forming Defense Health security Agency – meaning Military can suspend normal civil rights and impose military jurisdiction rights as they see it fit with force of guns if necessary of course. Someone is DIGGING UP ON US for control and enslavement. Maybe we need to be more aware of what’s happening arounds us and yes fight for our freedom if necessry.

Isn’t that just logic and common sense after all?

Melissa Osaki

I can attest to that. I’d originally planned on reading the new Ur book this weekend, but I picked up Arahat Athersata because I was looking for a reference. It immediately drew me in again with its truth, and I couldn’t put it down. It brought me unimaginable peace and harmony. And while much of the material pertains to how far the Earth human has fallen, reading it gave me the feeling of being refreshed and renewed. The words are like a sweet melody of truth, wisdom and knowledge.

Charles V.

I agree with your sentiments on the Arahat Athersata book as well Melissa. Reading it has had and continues to have a profound effect on my thoughts, my psyche and within my Creational spirit-form. The book has a subtle yet strong magnetism, it pulls you in and inspires one to read, from cover to cover, and apply the knowledge and wisdom contained therein. It’s a very inspirational book, as are all the books Eduard has written. A lot of his books make me think and feel as if they are a “choose your own adventure” type of experience.

Whether the reader knows it or not, each and every book Eduard has written is a personalized – for the reader – treasure chest which contains the personalized riches we all deserve and need in order to live a better life for ourselves and all inhabitants of this beautiful yet dying planet.

We are so very fortunate to have Eduard amongst us. It still boggles my mind merely thinking of what Eduard knows and has experienced yet is unable to relay to us; I can only imagine the privilege and burden Eduard must carry with him in relation to the information he knows. I surmise it’s either a blessed curse or a cursed blessing for him; I suppose that merely comes with the territory for Eduard, his astronomically evolved Creational spirit-form and his mission.

I know, understand and agree with Eduard on why he does so, but the little “…” with the omitted information slightly annoys the shit out of me lol, but then again, I think it’s a very subtle “jab” to the reader to take responsibility and start piecing the information together; like the Yeti reference – from the most recent contact report – when Eduard and/or Sfath left footprints in the snow, I’d like to know what the hell those two were doing on that little trip lol

Take great care of yourself Melissa and all my fellow brothers and sisters. One is none, all as one!

Salome,

Charles

Melissa Osaki

Hi Charles,

It’s true, the book(s) have a way of pulling you in. And it does feel like a personalized adventure meant only for you. I can’t explain the feeling exactly, but I feel the magnitude of the words, which oddly enough brings me peace and harmony. Arahat Athersata, the watchers of time, have a special place in my heart and mind for some reason. I feel the truth of their words and sense the pain that they feel for humankind. I don’t know if pain is the right word, but something along those lines. They tell us how far humanity has fallen, but they never make you feel less than or beneath them. They simply lay out the harsh facts with a loving tone.

It’s a great book and probably my favorite, but they’re all equally good books. Everyone should do themselves a favor and read the books.

Charles V.

DERP!

I need to correct one of the sentences I wrote in my last paragraph. Something didn’t seem right so I re-read the Contact Report, #816, link below, and found the correct information. The correct details do in fact matter, my bad.

Correction:
Eduard and Sfath found footprints in the snow, they did not leave them. The footprints they found were 40cm (1.31234 feet long); quote below from Quetzal; the referenced sentence is about half-way down the Contact Report page.

When asked by Eduard if the Plejaren have Yeti or other primordial creatures on Erra, Quetzal replied/stated:

Quetzal:
“Nothing is known about this on our planet. But in the annals of Sfath I read that he and you in Siberia not only found footprints of 40 cm and then a…”

Makes me wonder if they found a carcass, homestead or some other type of evidence as Eduard left a “…” at the end of Quetzal’s reply/sentence.

Hmm…makes one wonder.

Got you Mike, I understand; I’m a truth seeker since 8 yrs old back in Krakow PL ‘wanted to be archaeologist and dig up the truth’. Nothing can prevent this except loss of consciousness or all my mental powers.

Nature will provide us – all the time with a appropriate tool to fix the imbalance. We have to be smart enough to recognize it and of course use it. We don’t have to LIKE this tool all we have to do is USE this tool. Failure to do so may prompt Nature to appropriate even bigger and more consequential hammer to do the job of balancing.

In hobbit trilogy when dwarves also did not like quite aggressive Bard the Bowman(only one who could kill Smog the Dragon) – smartest of the dwarves Balin said ‘ we don’t have to like him we just have to pay him’ for trip across the lake and weapons.

george madeyski

One thing for sure to fight the Trump Deep State went through embarrassing process of revealing their frighteningly powerfull infrastrutructure exposing their key players – Star Wars scenario; to say the least.

I set and think of what I can do to get thorough to any and everyone who reads or hear what I and others are saying!?! There is substantial proven evidence our planet is on the verge of collapse. ( We may be past the point of no return)
We have been running unchecked (for centuries now) through our natural resources; with procreation, polluting the water our land an air, cutting down the trees in droves ALL UNCHECKED!! The corrupt governments an corporations don’t care what they destroy, pollute or who they kill. ITS 100% clear that the corrupt ignorant so called leaders WILL NOT CHANGE THEIR WAYS.
I have a solution that would work but only if we have everyone’s cooperation on an off this planet.
Back in the late 1800 early 1900s Nikola Tesla was working on wireless free energy resonators an when he died the CORRUPT FBI raided his apartment an took all his work. Since then they (corrupt USA government) has perfected an patented it. They refuse to share this with the world, (among other things) If we could get some scientist (that are not afraid of the corrupt people in power) to make a billion free energy resonators an give it to all the poor people who are suppressed by these corrupt corporations. (“That same technology would even power vehicles”)This would take some of the power away from those corrupt people. Then blast all nuclear weapons into space where ships are waiting to collect them for proper Disposal. ( More power took) The more power we can take from these people the better things will get. It won’t be easy but it’s 100% possible. Yes they will try to keep us from taking their power but, if it’s done correctly along with a few other ideas I have; NOT ONLY is this possible I believe it could be done with minimal retaliation. It’s just a small group of greedy stupid people who are responsible for the direction this planet is going. Weather people believe our planet is dying or not doesn’t change the fact it’s 100% true.
I know it’s hard for people to believe what they hear because of all the lies they ( MSM & government) keep pushing. They believe as long as they keep everyone distracted they can do whatever they want. They make laws that protect their corrupt greedy actions all the while they prosecute us for doing the same thing that they have done. They keep racism and violence in the forefront; they constantly keep at each other’s throats; they keep allowing an pushing drugs in poor communities all the while they keep taking, destroying, killing, kidnapping, warmongering an whatever else they want.
The time is now for us to stand up for humanity, our world an our future, because if we don’t then who will?? There’s others who are willing to help us but only if we are willing to change an make a stand……..
I truly hope that someone will HEAR MY WORDS and are willing to sacrifice, stand up against corruption and are willing to accept change

Melissa Osaki

Hi Billy,

While I agree with much of what you say, the term free energy is not exactly true or realistic. All energy, regardless of where it comes from, requires machinery (panels, collectors, pumps, turbines, etc.) to bring it to function. I think the better term would be cheap energy.

Alex Jones fake trial 2: added 9/19/22, Alex Jones’ Second Fake Trial. The judge gives it all away.

Look at all the questions on pg.4
