Listen: One segment
With the end of the millennium drawing near, it is increasingly important to be aware of possible political manipulation of people’s apocalyptic fears and hopes. In that context, a channeling cult called “The Nine” bears particular examination.
Purporting to be the “Ennead” (the nine gods of ancient Egypt), they have links to many different individuals and institutions including: Andrija Puharich (connected to the CIA’s mind control programs of the 50s and 60s), Russians associated with the Gorbachev regime in the former USSR, the Esalen Institute and numerous New Age organizations. This organization espouses a racist, ariosophist philosophy that maintains that all of the Earth’s peoples are descended from The Nine (and, consequently, superior) except for the black race (who are, consequently, inferior.)
With the New Age movement growing and with 42% of American college graduates believing that we have been visited by space aliens, the danger that the views of The Nine could achieve widespread acceptance and lead to genocide is not one that should be too readily cast aside. (It should be noted that there is convincing evidence that so-called UFOs are real, but do not come from outer space. Should they be deployed in conjunction with other types of secret technology, the views of The Nine could be reinforced in a very convincing way.)
As noted above, Andrija Puharich, whose organization has done much to promote The Nine, was involved with the CIA mind-control programs. Those programs were initiated from a research base developed by the Nazis in World War II.
The program concludes with a brief look at Savitri Devi, a post-war Nazi mystic who has achieved considerable influence in the New Age movement. (Recorded on 9/19/99.)
There is no link to listen to FTR#170 and while I am very interested in all the FTR material, this episode in particular seems fascinating.
I have followed the trajectories of “The Nine” through the Stargate Conspiracy by Lynn Pickett and Clive Prince as well as the work by Peter Lavenda on this group in his Sinister Forces trilogy. As well as the question of the UFO and alien Other and the career of Andrija Puharich, one thing that particularly fascinates me is the inclusion of Ruth Paine as one of the original members of the group!
Kennedy assassination researchers are not always aware that the landlady of Oswald and Marie (whose testimony to the Warren Omission is still sealed I believe) was also involved in one of the early attempts at contact with non-human intelligences (and/or human intelligence agencies!)..there is also the connection to Bell helicopters through her husband Michael Paine and Oswald made a call to someone at Bell while in the station if I remember correctly.
Anyway, it would be wonderful to hear this show as I am in the middle of writing an article summing up the above connections and it would be great to include FTR’s research and analysis in it.
The penny finally dropped, not all the posts have links! Incredible show, totally lived up to my expectations and many thanks for the new evidential tributaries!
Here is the link for #170:

@Paul: Definitely one of my favorites, too, in terms of Spitfire’s UFO research.
