Codeword Barbêlôn

P.D. Stuart – a word from the author) The Jesuits, who are they?
They are men of every sort, full of subtle deceit and abominable deception. And they behave as though they were above all laws, like a self-anointed aristocracy – they are the worst kind of monks. Be it also known that the modus operandi of the members of this great secret society is to carry on their work in silence, darkness, and concealment. And so, they will surely deny all that is said about their society in this volume: they will deny their own books, they will even deny their real doctrines and their bloody oaths. For that is their strategy.
But I guarantee you that, apart from their bald denials, it will be impossible for them to gainsay what shall be revealed in this book, when we quote the originals of their own letters, and works the name, the page, chapter and verse.

Let the reader reflect on this most audacious passage found in the writings of the Jesuit scholar Anthony Escobar. In his Secret Instructions Escobar treats us to what is perhaps the most innovative principle of Jesuitism: "It is lawful […] to make use of the science aquired through the assistance of the devil, provided the preservation and use of that knowledge do not depend upon the devil, for the knowledge is good itself, and the sin by which it was aquired has gone by." (Anthony Escobar, Theologiæ Moralis, Tomus iv. Lugduni, 1663 Tom iv., lib. xxviii., sect. I, de Præcept I, c. 20, n. 184, reprint 1652 – Ed. Bibl. Acad. Cant. – in Mainz , 1723) Such are their effronteries. Such are their nostrums – my, my, what intriguing doctrines these men have – they will sell their souls on eBay.

Yes, I promise you that there will be many things that will surprise you, much that will shock you, and some that may even confuse you, but that in the end you will see the entire conspiracy revealed – laid bare, open, and naked before your eyes. Indeed, as Professor Morse said, "the array of facts and arguments going to prove the existence of such a conspiracy will astonish any man who opens the book with the same incredulity as we did."
My sincerest hope is that humanity will hereby be aroused – rulers, statesmen, men in positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, everywhere – to the realization of the importance of these facts. Or else, we are doomed. For the deadly serpent is already coiled at our feet, ready to strike.

Comte de Montlosier gave this thunderous assessment of the agenda of the Great Secret Society:
A vast system – no, let us not mince words, a vast conspiracy – has arisen against Religion […] and Society. I saw it in its first stirrings, I have followed its progress, I see now as it prepares to crush us beneath its ruins ...
On this prediction of Montlosier we can count with the accuracy of a calculating machine.
As to conspiracy theories, the reader will find a superabundance of proof within this book. To the skeptical reader, your doubts are quite understandable, for as J. Edgar Hoover, the ex-FBI Director and founder, once wrote, the conspiracy is so immense that "the individual […] coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous […] cannot believe it exists [… the] mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst."
Here, however, I hope to offer some solvents for your doubts. For I am fully aware that these facts and discussions in my book may be at first quite surprising to some, even shocking. No doubt there are those who will smile and say that this is no more than an enthusiastic working up of the imagination: mere conspiracy theories, by which to "allure and tickle weak minds". And so, upon the very subjects indicated and the above-mentioned connections, I will now offer details. For I know the state of minds today, and it does not enter into my plan to ignore any theme, any fact, which might persuade the doubter or convince the sceptic. To those who wish to sleep, sleep on, but let us not be naïve at our gross expense.

Chapter XXXII – Skull and Bones
"It's part of who I am" – The highest moral authority

During his presidential campaign of 2000, George W. Bush gave a 90-minute talk (on July 31) with the managing editor of the Illuminati controlled TIME magazine (so says Jesuit Professor Carroll Quigley: see later chapter titled "The Rhodes Gang"). At one point in the interview, Walter Isaacson asked Mr. Bush whether it troubled him at all that he had been initiated into the secret Society of Skull and Bones, to which Bush responded exuberantly, "No qualms at all. I was honored."
The problem with that response is that the secrets of this order mark its members as infidels and debauchees, with skeletons in their closets.
The reason the "literary society" of Skull and Bones is of particular concern is that its members are required to take an oath (see later) that completely absolves them from – takes precedence over – allegiance to any nation or king or government or constitution, including the negating of any subsequent oath which they may be required to take, that conflicts with the interests of the order. To whom then do they swear their ultimate allegiance? We must go back to the origin of the order to see the roots that sustain these branches.
Now, there has been a certain amount of deliberate falsehoods put out by some who belong to the order called Skull and Bones. I now offer a very different, and we hope more correct view. As we shall see, Skull and Bones is merely a chapter of the German Illuminati, founded by the Jesuit, Adam Weishaupt.

The history of Skull and Bones)
The masterminds behind the formation of Skull and Bones were William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft. Russell, while on a student tour of Germany, met Adam Weishaupt and was initiated by him into the Illuminati. In 1832, Russell took his newfound wisdom (or "illumination") back to America. A year later, in 1832, a group of Yale undergraduates, led by Alphonso Taft and Russell, formed a society called, "The Skull and Bones," modelled after the old Phi Beta Kappa Society of 1776 and set up as Chapter 322 of the German Illuminati. Today Skull and Bones' corporate name is The Russell Trust Association, which financies Skull and Bones, and also supervises the order's adherence to the tradition.
Alphonso Taft would later become both President and Chief Justice of the United States – one of four Justices known as the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". Indeed, "Skull and Bones leads the list in influence, age, and society standing," among American secret society.

Why have I alleged that Skull and Bones is a Chapter of the German Illuminati formed by Adam Weishaupt? What evidence is there to support this? There is a world-wide secret society called the Brotherhood of Death Society, whose symbol is also the skull with two crossed bones. At this point we want to draw a comparison between Skull and Bones and the order known as the Thule Society, which many commentators have said is the German chapter of the Brotherhood of Death Society. It is known that Adolf Hitler joined this society in 1919, under the leadership of Dietrich Eckhart. As Eckhart revealed on his deathbed: "Follow Hitler! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune. I have initiated him into the Secret Doctrine, opened his centers in vision, and given him the means to communicate with the powers."
Skull and Bones' symbol is also a skull with two crossed bones, but with the mysterious number "322" underneath. It is claimed that certain documents exist which state that Skull and Bones is Chapter 322 of a corps of a German University, and that this German Secret Society (the Thule Society) was the basis for the founding of Skull and Bones at Yale University in 1832. In 1876 the headquarters of Skull and Bones was broken into and a document was found inside with the these words: "From the German Chapter. Presented by Patriarch D.C. Gilman of D. 50."

There are indeed some very striking similarities. Like the Thule Society, members of the Order of Skull and Bones are initiated into the society by what is called "sexual magic ritual". "The [ritualistic] death of the initiate will be as frightful as the use of human skeletons and ritual psychology can make it." The Thule Society performed sexual rituals in their practices, likewise, Skull and Bones also incorporates sexual activities into their initiations (for which see later). Additionally, The Thule Society, were "concerned with raising their consciousness by means of rituals to awareness of evil and nonhuman intelligences in the universe, and with achieving means of communication with these intelligences." Likewise, the initiates of Skull and Bones believe that they are "born again", a term that in the Bones vocabulary means "enlightenment", not the usually meaning given to it in the Christian Gospels.
Significantly, in the book Proofs of a Conspiracy (previously cited) Prof. Robison described the initiation ceremony into the "Regent Degree" of the Illuminati, and according to author Kris Millegan, in his book Fleshing Out Skull and Bones, "It [the Illuminati's initiation ceremony] bears a striking resemblance to the […] ritual for entry into Skull and Bones at Yale."

The oath taken by the Illuminati requires the initiated to disregard all bonds of allegiance whether to father, mother, brothers, sisters, relations, friends or to the king, magistrates, and any other authority to which loyalty, obedience, or service may have been sworn. The particular passage reads: "faithfulness and everlasting obedience to all superiors and regulations of the order […] you are free from the so-called oath to country and laws: swear to reveal to the new chief […] what you may have seen or done, intercepted, read or heard, learned or surmised, and also seek for and spy out what your eyes cannot discern. Honour and respect the Aqua Tofana (a slow poison) as a sure, prompt, and necessary means of purging the globe by death of those who seek to vilify the truth [their ideology] and seize it from our hands [...] in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."

"You must be born again": Initiation by Don Quixote
Let us look more closely at Skull and Bones and its grotesque Illuminati initiation ritual. On April 23, 2001, ABC News reported on a Hidden Video Capture of the Skull and Bones initiation ritual. From this video we know that the initiation takes place on the campus of Yale University in a building called "The Tomb". Ron Rosenbaum, columnist for the New York Observer, hid out on the ledge of a nearby building and videotaped the nocturnal initiation ceremony in the Tomb's courtyard. He says that in the room "The death's-head logo stamps everything from crockery to painted borders on the wall." There were three people officiating – one dressed like the pope, another like Hiram Abif (the Masonic Messiah) and a third like a Don Quixote.
Why the Skull and Bones ritual would have as officiants Bonesmen dressed like the pope, Hiram Abif, and Don Quixote? Let’s look at this a bit closer. However, we need not strain for an answer: the pope represents the supremacy of Catholicism, in Hiram Abif we have the well known representative of Freemasonry. But who is this character Don Quixote?
The Jesuit Carroll Quigley once said, "look at the real situations which lie beneath the conceptual and verbal symbols." So let's take his advice. Quixote was satirically characterized as the epically famous "madman" of Azpeitia. If we start with Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the author of Don Quixote, we discover that not only was he a "strict Roman Catholic" it is believed that he also attended a Jesuit school in 1566: "Cervantes is likely [to have] enrolled in a Jesuit high school (colegio)." Next we find that Cervantes' book Don Quixote expressly refers to the pope as "His Holiness the Pope" and "his holiness Pope Pius V of happy memory." (pp. 138, 331).
Interestingly, Pope Gregory XII used almost identical words to Cervantes in his letter, dated December 12, 1580, inciting Catholics to murder Queen Elizabeth I: "that guilty woman (Elizabeth) of England […] is the cause of so much injury to the Catholic faith […] whosoever sends her out of the world with the pious intention of doing God service […] especially having regard to the sentence pronounced against her by Pius V of holy memory."
So who was this character represented by the original "Don Quixote" of whom Cervantes wrote so affectionately? "It was Ignatius Loyola," says English commentator John Bowle. Was Bowle right?
The theory that Loyola (the first Jesuit General) is the man represented in the figure of Don Quixote, as first mooted by Bowle, hangs on a passage in the book Don Quixote where the angry Biscayan, the enemy of Don Quixote, is made a native of Azpeitia – the name of the obscure Spanish village where Loyola was born. It is interesting to note that Quixote the "madman" of Azpeitia had wild visions of fighting with a dragon. Likewise, Ignatius Loyola claimed to have fought with Satan, who is referred to in the Bible as the winged "serpent" and "the dragon" (Revelation 12:3,9,17).
Further, in the story Don Quixote is said to have "composed a rosary" in honour of the Virgin Mary, who is typecast as the girl whom he loves "untouched by any man" who "still possesses […] virginity". A clear reference to the Virgin Mary – the idol of Loyola and the Jesuits. Even their mother church is named Mary.
In another book Our Lord Don Quixote (1905), Catholic professor Miguel de Unamuno draws parallels between Don Quixote and the life of the founder of the Jesuit Order, Ignatius of Loyola, their "Lord". And the Jesuit-trained Voltaire wrote, the only difference between Loyola and the Quixote, is that "Don Quixote had a horse and an esquire, but Ignatius was not provided with either."

Another link to the Jesuits is the use of the skull and crossbones emblem. Earlier we saw that when a Jesuit of the lower rank is to be elevated to a position of command, he is conducted into a chapel of the order, where he swears an oath under "a banner of yellow and white [the colours of the pope], and […] a black banner with a dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones." Bonesmen likewise take an oath of inviolate secrecy while standing before a skull and cross-bones. So, here we see that the Skull and Bones initiation ritual, like that of the Jesuits uses the occult icon of the skull and crossbones.
It is also curious that the emblem of the skull and crossbones is also the symbol of the chancellor for the Knights of Columbus. Interestingly, at the initiation of mason the initiate is placed in a coffin and then lifted up, and when he opens his eyes he is confronted with a human skull and crossed bones? Are these similarities between the initiation of Skull and Bones, the Jesuits and Freemasons just another coincidence?
Albert C. Stevens (the respected historian) also makes this interesting connection between the Masonic Kappa Sigma society, founded in 1867 at the University of Virginia, and Skull and Bones. On page 355, Stevens states, "The badge [of Kappa Sigma] is an inverted crescent of gold, attached to and below which, by four of its points, is a five-pointed star [the pentagram] with the letters Kappa Sigma in its center […] At the top, on the crescent, a skull and bones are engraved. At the left, the crossed keys [a symbol of the pope's power]. And at the right, crossed swords." Is this all mere coincidence?
Returning to Quixote. Note, too, that "the hero [Don Quixote] is not one whom the author [Cervantes] desired to revile or to malign," rather, says Charles Francis Horne, "never was a satire like this, which leaves us full of love and sympathy for the object [Quixote, i.e. Loyola]." Thus, in the initiation ceremony of Skull and Bones, the pope, the Masonic Hiram Abif, and the Jesuit icon, Don Quixote, are all figures of admiration and emulation. Not surprisingly, then, many of the leading politicians in America, Bush, Clinton, Kerry, Rice, etc., bend and fawn before the Roman pontiff.
It is also quite interesting to note that Pope Benedict XVI (when he was Cardinal Ratzinger) also praised the character Don Quixote. In his book Principles of Catholic Theology the Pope referred to the madman Don Quixote as "a crusader for truth even if the defense of it should cost him his life." Did not Loyola, that "ingenious gentleman" and crusader, teach the members of his order to defend the Catholic faith at all hazards, even at the cost of their lives? Is that what Pope Benedict XVI is suggesting to his flock? Is this one of the Principles of Catholic Theology?

To continue with the initiation. The Skull and Bones initiate is made to "face a skeleton, and at its feet are a crown and a sword." During this ritual the Bonesmen shriek out, "Eulogia! Eulogia! Eulogia!" as the initiate is escorted into the inner temple (Room 322), where he is made to sign his name to an oath of utmost secrecy. He is then made to stand before a picture of Judas Iscariot, whose name is shouted aloud three times.
The initiate is next led to the most important part of the ritual, and pushed to his knees before a human skull filled with blood, which skull is resting at the foot of a human skeleton called "Madame Pompadour". The other Bonesmen cry: "Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!" This mockery of the Christian sacrament is known as the "Black Mass". When he is done drinking, the initiate is whipped in the face with the tail of the person dressed as the Don Quiote (the classic literary character symbolic of Ignatius Loyola). He is next taken quickly before the Bonesman dressed like the Pope. The initiate must bend and "kiss the Pope's slippered toe". This very fact – kissing the slippered toe of the pope – shows that their first allegiance is to the pope! Just as the "faithful" Catholic kisses the toe of the bronze statue of St. Peter, inside the Basilica at Rome, so too, the Bonesman must kiss the pope's slippered toe at his ritual initiation into the Order.
But that is not all. The candidate is then shoved to his knees in front of Don Quixote. As the shrieking Bonesmen fall silent Don Quixote taps the supplicant on his shoulder with a sword and says: "by order of our order, I dub you a Knight of Eulogia." This is significant! Not only does the initiate kiss the pope's toe, more importantly, the initiate is welcomed into the order by the figure symbolizing the Jesuit General, Don Quixote: "I dub you a Knight of Eulogia." This lurid "melodrama" culminates in a ritual of mock sacrifice of a naked female.

The religion of Skull & Bones: is Bush Christian?
The sitting President, George W. Bush, is worryingly "religious". The President claims that he is on a "divinely" appointed mission! We shall see a little later.
The Bonesmen use the Greek word: eulogia ("blessing") and are referred to as Knights of Eulogia, because, according to the lore of Skull and Bones, a Roman goddess called Eulogia, after ascending to heaven in 322 B.C., came back to earth in 1832 to found their society. Students of history will know that the Greek general, Alexander the Great died in 322 B.C. and was buried in Memphis, Egypt, and that his body was dug up and reburied in the Gnostic capital of Alexandria. As it turns out, the home of Skull and Bones, on the campus of Yale, is a windowless structure built to look like a mausoleum (a tomb) in a Greco-Egyptian style.
Is Bush a Christian? Judge for yourself.
At one stage in the ritual initiation of Skull and Bones the initiates must "lay naked in coffins and tell their deepest and darkest sexual secrets as part of their initiation". (Esquire, September, 1976, p. 85) Satanic high priest Anton LaVey explains the significance of this in his book The Satanic Rituals – Companion to the Satanic Bible: "The ceremony of rebirth takes place in a large coffin […] This is similar to the coffin symbolism that […] is found in most lodge rituals." Curiously enough, during the 1988 Presidential Campaign, a TV reporter asked Vice-President George H. W. Bush Sr. (father of President George W. Bush) whether he was a Christian. Bush Sr. initially stammered, but then said, "if you mean born again, then, yes, I am a Christian." Now, was that a misleading statement on the part of George Bush Sr.? Is he a Christian or just "born again" Bonesman?
Just to set the record straight, so that Christians don't get confused about Bush's "born again" lark: Skull and Bones believe that on the night of initiation, the initiate "dies to the world and [is] born again into the order." When an initiate enters the coffin during his initiation, he is considered to have "died to self and to this world", and born again into the Order. He is not born again in Christ.

Here is part of a 2000 interview (original transcript) given by the son, President George W. Bush Jr.: "Time) But you sure shared a lot of the same upbringing: Andover, Yale, even Skull and Bones. Did you have any qualms, say, about joining an elite secret club like Bones?
Bush) No qualms at all. I was honored. I was fairly nonchalant. I didn't view it as a great heritage thing. I didn't take it all that seriously.
Time) Demystify it a bit for those who might think it's a cross between a Masonic Lodge and the Trilateral Commission. Did your father show up for your initiation, like your grandfather showed up for his?
Bush) Without revealing all the great secrets? I got a few of my old club mates who could demystify it right off the bat. My dad didn't tap me. Someone a year ahead of me tapped me. There was an entry celebration. I can't remember whether my dad showed up or not."
Note that President Bush did not deny that Skull and Bones was a Masonic Lodge, rather he confirmed that he could not reveal "all the great secrets". In fact that same 2000 interview, Bush said of his family's historical involvement in Skull and Bones: it is "my heritage. Its part of who I am." Indeed it is: his father, George H.W. Bush Sr. is also a "born again" member. Bush once said, to understand people you have to look at their family.

So, what exactly is Bush's mission? "I'm here for a reason," Bush told his chief political aide Karl Rove after the September 11 attacks. Close friends of the President speak of his views in similar terms: "I think, in his frame, this is what God has asked him to do," said one close friend. One senior administration official said, "[Bush] really believes he was placed here to do this as part of a divine plan." The question is: what divine plan is he referring to, God's or someone else's? We can guess the answer from a statement that Bush made two years into his presidency: "The best way to honour Pope John Paul II […] is to take his teaching seriously […] and put his words and teachings into action here in America." Perhaps this explains what President Bush meant when three years later in 2004 he told the Knights of Columbus that he was their "friend in […] administration", and that together they would work "to change America"! Is President Bush a Catholic, you ask? Really, dear reader, you are far too inquisitive!
On March 23, 2001, a day after promising to put the pope's teachings into action in America, Bush was speaking at the Catholic University of America, and he reminded his audience that the former president of the Soviet Union had called the pope "the highest moral authority on earth." Why did Bush feel the need to remind his audience of this? Does Bush also regard the pope as "the highest moral authority on earth?"
Perhaps Bush and the Russian President were referring to a papal statement made on July 18, 1870 by Pope Pius IX: "We declare it to be an article of faith that the Roman Pope possesses infallibility in any doctrine relating to faith and morals. If anyone shall oppose this our decision, which God forbid, let him be accursed."
Intelligent reader, whenever you hear a man express such views, as freely as Bush does, you can be sure that he is either a Jesuit, a tool of the Jesuits or that he has been "poisoned by their maxims". Take your pick, the conclusions are not far different. Bonesmen do not kiss the pope's ring at their initiation ceremony for no reason!

The Belfast Telegraph, April 14, 2007 reported: "US President George W. Bush will meet with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in June." This meeting took place on June 25, 2007. Both men exchanged gifts. Why would the President of the United States of America go to Rome to kiss the ring of a mitred king of the Vatican? Bush had a "closed-door discussion" with Pope Benedict! As one of my acquaintances asked, "what did Bush and Benedict say to one another during those 35 minutes of privacy following the journalists' departure from the Pope's [private] library?" Equally fascinating is the significance of Benedict's "message-packed" gift to the U.S. commander-in-chief: a rare first edition of the autobiography of John Carroll of Baltimore. John Carroll was the first Catholic Archbishop of the United States and founder of the first Jesuit university in America: Georgetown University!
How profound of D.S. Phelan (a priest) to say, "the pope is the ruler of the world. All the emperors, all the kings, all the princes, all the presidents of the world are as these altar boys of mine." Why do you doubt this? Have we not seen photographic, video and Television images of three U.S. presidents kneeling in homage before the bier of Pope John Paul II.
Robert Higgs comments of the power of the pope: "observing the many government leaders gathered at the Vatican for the funeral of Pope John Paul II, we might well have suspected that the world's politico-military chieftains need what the Pope has more than the Pope needs what they have."

What does the Bible have to say about secret societies? (John 18:20, Isa. 8:20, Ps. 2:2, Rev. 17:13)
Find out in this new ground-breaking book, Codeword Barbêlôn. Plans for World Domination by P.D. Stuart – ISBN:978-0954359669.
Synopsis: Secret Societies Exposed! Hard-hitting: no compromises, no apologies, no vagaries. This book drops a bombshell of some magnitude.
"Men often stumble over the truth, but most pick themselves up and hurry on as if nothing had happened." (Sir Winston Churchill)
We guarantee that the reader will be charmed, and must be, by the wit and eloquence, the force and fire of every page of this groundbreaking book. Codeword Barbêlôn is a book of stunning geopolitical revelations. It presents an array of facts that reveal a daring but subtle plan for seizing of global power, a compelling portrait of the future, and a most extraordinary account of international power and intrigue.
"Good historians," wrote Horace Walpole, "are the most scarce of all writers, and no wonder! A good style is not very common, thorough information is still rare, and if these meet, what a chance that impartiality should be added to them!" P.D. Stuart’s work possesses all of these qualities.
Consisting of 46 chapters, and hundreds of footnotes and references, Codeword Barbêlôn covers a vast period of history, from the second and third centuries to the present day. Spatially, the work spans three continents, and focuses on Europe and North America and the hidden influence of secret societies on that continent. It encompasses, within its asides, many other countries too.
P.D. Stuart holds his judgments, and his readers, in suspense by offering the reader a range of options in the interpretation of an event through fixing multiple layers of insinuation, innuendo, and hidden meaning. And by his coupling of contrasting facts – then explaining such antitheses.
Codeword Barbêlôn is undoubtedly a "tough book". It is direct, honest, and thought provoking. It contains no compromise, no apologies, and no vagaries. It spares no characters – all are lashed without ceremony. The result is a book that is extremely credible, erudite and compellingly readable.
Indeed, we know of no other volume of its kind to compare with the one before us. It "connects the dots" completely, thoroughly, and intelligently. An instance of high scholarship, supported by much careful research, P.D. Stuart has written what must be considered one of the most authoritative accounts of the secret societies of ancient and modern times. And he does so with exceptional finesse, by utilizing records inaccessible to or overlooked by other writers.
Codeword Barbêlôn is essential reading for anyone interested in the present day operations of the powerful secret societies. Rest assured, however, that Stuart's book is nothing like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Rather, P.D. Stuart's book reveals facts that are so serious, so startling, so compelling that all should be made aware. Do you still ask why you should care about what is written in this book? You shouldn't. Go back to sleep, all is well.

@ 61 min, TM) And everyone is through their own fears, obeyed religious trainings, hopes … They're trying to project what is it. What is it? And there's a lot of fear, a lot of uncertainty. I am not afraid of it. I would really like … One of the great things about the psychedelic aliens is, they don't vibrate with this strange vibe that the fetal trading grace of popular media vibrate with it. It's a much more upbeat and affirmative kind of alien contact that occurs through the plant.

AB) This one plant by this one drug that you described – DMT … I don't know what that is.
TM) What makes it so attractive in a discussion like this, Art, is, it's one of the most powerful of all psychedelics, but it only last 5 minutes.
AB) 5 minutes …
TM) 5 minutes.
So, someone who has spent a live time distinct psychedelics or denying the existence of the paranormal, for that matter, should at least be willing to invest 5 minutes. We never lost anybody. You picture yourself up and go on about your business.
AB) 5 minutes?
TM) 5 minutes!
AB) The effects … could you describe them … to much of my audience that I know can recall the effects of LSD or various mushrooms …
TM) LSD – it's very different.
AB) very different …

TM) Well, LSD is a kind of psychological self-examination and … with strange thought prozesses and insides … What happens with DMT is, there is the unstateable feeling of having gone to a place!
In other words, it comes on in about 15 seconds, and suddenly you're in a place, and this place is full of what I call self-dribbling jeweled basketballs that are intelligent in some hints. They're like the athletically trained rottweilers! They come founding forwards and what they're doing in there is, they're conducting some kind of a language lesson because they speak! They have a language which you can see – is the only way I can explain it.

AB) What is the source of DMT? It is a man-factured drug?
TM) It can be but its source is really in nature, in plants like […] the whole bunch of this latin salad. Most of these are south american plants. But the every ecosystem on earth has DMT sources in it. In fact the human brain naturally produces DMT. Why? We don't know. But I'd say there is a strong clue: here is a drug which causes these crystalline little creatures and the same substance occurs naturally in the human brain. Now I'm not saying that's the answer to the UFO phenomenon but how many people have looked to this and pursued this?
AB) Then let me ask this: there are many who claim to have been abducted, Terence, and if DMT is a natural occuring substance in the brain, your theory can probably be verified by measuring those who have claimed to be abducted. Would such a measurement scientifically be possible?

TM) Well, the problem is you recall, I've said, the only last 5 minutes. So, unusual amounts of it in the body are very quickly brought down to base line – one of the most transient drugs in the body ever observed! So, and an interesting thing about that, Art, is, when they measured presence they looked at human cerebrospinal fluid, and they discovered that it reaches its greatest concentration there between three and four in the morning. Well, that's when people are doing the intense REM dreaming.
And so I think, you know, the Australien Aborigines have this concept of the dream time. And I think, when you put the dream time, the chemestry of DMT, the abduction stories together and the depth with which modern media had programmed and messed with people, you're very closed to being able to begin to talk about the alien phenomenon.
I think there are aliens, but I think they can only reach us through our mind. They don’t cross the universe in ships of titanium. They don’t even project holograms of themselves into the desert air. They come through the human mind! And if you look at the human mind in all cultures and in all kinds and places – except western europe in a few intellectuals in the past few hundred years – the human mind had always been haunted by sprites, gnomes, nixies, elves.
So, I don't see the UFO … the modern wave as anything more than the latest wave of this mysterious relationship we have with this embodied mind through the imagination. Well, then people say: Oh, this is the old psychological reduction argument. No. Because when I say the human imagination, I don't mean some poultry psychological function … I think the human imagination is the largest part of us and where we're going to stand most of the rest of human history.
AB) Hear! Hear!

Eine großartige Sache in Hinblick auf psychedelische Außerirdische ist, sie liegen nicht auf derselben befremdlichen Wellenlänge wie die großen Medien mit ihren fötalen, (wahrscheinlich bezugnehmend auf die populären "Alien"-Filme mit Sigourney Weaver) einträglichen Ausschmückungen.
Es ist eine sehr viel optimistischere und bejahendere Variante des Kontakts mit Außerirdischen, die durch die Pflanze zustande kommt.

AB) Diese eine Pflanze mit diesem Rauschmittel, das du beschrieben hast – DMT ("Dimethyltryptamine", ein halluzinogenes Tryptamin-Alkaloid) ... Ich weiß nicht, was das ist.
TM) Was DMT so attraktiv macht in einer Diskussion wie dieser: es ist eine der stärksten bewusstseinserweiternden Drogen überhaupt, hält jedoch nur 5 Minuten vor.
AB) 5 Minuten ...
TM) 5 Minuten.
So, wer sein ganzes Leben abseits psychedelischer Erfahrungen verbracht hat oder die Existenz paranormaler Phänomene schon immer ablehnt, sollte wenigstens bereit sein, mal 5 Minuten zu investieren. Niemals kam jemand dabei ums Leben. Du machst dir ein Bild und gehst dann weiter deinen Geschäften nach.
AB) 5 Minuten?
TM) 5 Minuten!
AB) Die Effekte .. kannst du sie beschreiben … für die meisten meiner Zuhörer, die ich kenne, die sich an die Wirkung von LSD oder verschiedenen Pilzen erinnern können ...
TM) LSD – das ist was ganz anderes.
AB) was ganz anderes …

TM) Also, LSD bewirkt eine Art psychologische Selbsterfahrung und ... mit wunderlichen Gedankengängen und Innenansichten ... Was mit DMT passiert, ist: du hast das nicht näher bestimmbare Gefühl, an einen Ort gelangt zu sein!
Anders gesagt, es geht los nach etwa 15 Sekunden, und plötzlich bist du an einem Ort und die Umgebung dort ist voll mit – wie ich es nenne – selbstspringenden, mit Juwelen geschmückten Basketbällen, die sich in mancher Hinsicht intelligent verhalten. Sie sind wie athletisch trainierte Rottweiler. Sie bauen etwas auf und veranstalten darin eine Art Sprachunterricht, denn sie sprechen! Sie haben eine Sprache, die man sehen kann – das ist die einzige Erklärung, die mir einfällt.

AB) Woher kommt DMT? Ist es eine vom Menschen hergestellte Droge?
TM) Kann es sein, doch seine eigentliche Quelle liegt in der Natur, in Pflanzen wie [...] die ganze Palette dieses lateinischen Namen-Salats. Die meisten davon sind südamerikanische Pflanzen, aber jedes Ökosystem auf der Erde verfügt über DMT-Quellen. Tatsache ist, das menschliche Gehirn produziert von sich aus körpereigenes DMT. Warum? Das wissen wir nicht. Ich würde jedoch behaupten, wie haben einen starken Anhaltspunkt: hier ist ein Stoff, der diese kristallinen, kleinen Kreaturen erzeugt, und dieselbe Substanz kommt auf natürlichem Weg im menschlichen Gehirn vor. Ich sage jetzt nicht, das ist die Antwort auf das UFO-Phänomen, aber wie viele Leute haben sich damit beschäftigt und diesen Gedanken weiterverfolgt?
AB) Dann lass mich die Frage anders stellen! Es gibt viele, die behaupten, entführt worden zu sein, Terence, und wenn DMT im Gehirn ein natürlich vorkommender Stoff ist, könnte deine Theorie möglicherweise durch Messungen bei denjenigen belegt werden, die behaupten, entführt worden zu sein. Wären solche Messverfahren wissenschaftlich möglich?

TM) Wie gesagt, das Problem dabei ist, du erinnerst dich nur an die letzten 5 Minuten. Ungewöhnliche Mengen davon werden im Körper sehr schnell zurück aufs Ausgangsniveau gebracht – eine der flüchtigsten Substanzen, die man im Körper je nachgewiesen hat! So, und eine interessante Sache dabei ist, Art, als sie DMT-Vorkommen angezeigt bekamen, sahen sie nach der menschlichen Gehirn-Rückenmarks-Flüssigkeit und entdeckten, dass diese ihre höchste Konzentration in der Zeit zwischen drei und vier Uhr morgens erreicht. Nun, genau um diese Zeit erlebt der Mensch die intensive REM-Traumphase.
Deshalb denke ich – die australischen Ureinwohner haben doch dieses Konzept von der Traumzeit – wenn du die Traumzeit, die DMT-Chemie, die Geschichten über Entführungen zusammenzählst und die Tiefenwirksamkeit, mit der Menschen von den modernen Medien täglich programmiert und verwirrt werden, hinzu addierst, bist du beinahe soweit, über das Phänomen von Außerirdischen reden zu können.
Ich denke es gibt Aliens, doch ich glaube, sie können nur über unseren Geist zu uns gelangen. Sie durchqueren das Universum nicht in Schiffen aus Titan und sie projizieren schon gar keine Hologramme von sich in die Wüstenluft. Sie kommen durch den menschlichen Geist! Und wenn du dir den menschlichen Geist betrachtest ... in allen Kulturen und in allen Gattungen und Gegenden – mit Ausnahme Westeuropas bei einigen Intellektuellen in den letzten paar hundert Jahren – ist der menschliche Geist immer verfolgt worden von Kobolden, Gnomen, Wassernixen, Elfen.
Ich verstehe das UFO sozusagen als neumodische Ausgabe, als die jüngste Welle dieser mysteriösen Beziehung, die wir mit diesem körpergebundenen Geist durch unsere Vorstellungskraft haben. Nun, die Leute sagen dann: Ach, das ist die alte, abwertende Argumentation der Psychologie. Nein. Denn wenn ich von menschlicher Vorstellungskraft spreche, meine ich damit keine gefiederte psychologische Funktion ... Ich denke, die Phantasie ist der größte Teil von uns, wo wir den größten Teil der restlichen Menschheitsgeschichte verbringen werden.
AB) Bravo! Richtig!

Bill Hicks: Drugs and Evolution

Paul Stamets' six mycological solutions

I want to present to you a suite of six mycological solutions, using fungi, and these solutions are based on mycelium. The mycelium infuses all landscapes, it holds soils together, it's extremely tenacious. This holds up to 30,000 times its mass. They're the grand molecular disassemblers of nature, the soil magicians. They generate the humus soils across the land masses of Earth. We have now discovered that there is a multi-directional transfer of nutrients between plants, mitigated by the mycelium, so the mycelium is the mother that is giving nutrients from alder and birch trees to hemlocks, cedars and Douglas firs. Dusty and I, we like to say, on Sunday this is where we go to church. I'm in love with the old-growth forest, and I'm a patriotic American because we have those.
Most of you are familiar with portobello mushrooms. And frankly, I face a big obstacle when I mention mushrooms to somebody, they immediately think portobellos or magic mushrooms. Their eyes glaze over, and they think I'm a little crazy. So I hope to pierce that prejudice forever with this group. We call it mycophobia: the irrational fear of the unknown when it comes to fungi.
Mushrooms are very fast in their growth: day 21, day 23, day 25. Mushrooms produce strong antibiotics. In fact, we're more closely related to fungi than we are to any other kingdom. A group of 20 eukaryotic microbiologists published a paper two years ago erecting opisthokonta, a super-kingdom that joins animalia and fungi together. We share in common the same pathogens. Fungi don't like to rot from bacteria, and so our best antibiotics come from fungi. But here is a mushroom that's past its prime. After they sporulate, they do rot. But I propose to you that the sequence of microbes that occur on rotting mushrooms are essential for the health of the forest. They give rise to the trees, they create the debris fields that feed the mycelium.
And so we see a mushroom here sporulating. And the spores are germinating, and the mycelium forms and goes underground. In a single cubic inch of soil, there can be more than eight miles of these cells. My foot is covering approximately 300 miles of mycelium.
This is photo-micrographs from Nick Read and Patrick Hickey. And notice that as the mycelium grows, it conquers territory and then it begins the net. I've been a scanning electron microscopist for many years, I have thousands of electron micrographs, and when I'm staring at the mycelium I realize that they are microfiltration membranes. We exhale carbon dioxide, so does mycelium. It inhales oxygen, just like we do. But these are essentially externalized stomachs and lungs. And I present to you a concept that these are extended neurological membranes. And in these cavities, these microcavities form, and as they fuse soils, they absorb water. These are little wells. And inside these wells, then microbal communities begin to form. And so the spongy soil not only resists erosion, but sets up a microbial universe that gives rise to a plurality of other organisms.

I first proposed, in the early 1990s, that mycelium is Earth's natural Internet. When you look at the mycelium, they're highly branched. And if there's one branch that is broken, then very quickly, because of the nodes of crossing - Internet engineers maybe call them hot points – there's alternative pathways for channeling nutrients and information. The mycelium is sentient. It knows that you are there. When you walk across landscapes, it leaps up in the aftermath of your footsteps trying to grab debris. So I believe the invention of the computer Internet is an inevitable consequence of a previously proven biologically successful model. The Earth invented the computer Internet for its own benefit, and we now, being the top organism on this planet, are trying to allocate resources in order to protect the biosphere.
Most of you may not know that fungi were the first organisms to come to land. They came to land 1.3 billion years ago, and plants followed several hundred million years later. How is that possible? It's possible because the mycelium produces oxalic acids and many other acids and enzymes, pockmarking rock and grabbing calcium and other minerals and forming calcium oxalates. Makes the rocks crumble, and the first step in the generation of soil. Oxalic acid is two carbon dioxide molecules joined together. So fungi and mycelium sequester carbon dioxide in the form of calcium oxalates. And all sorts of other oxalates are also sequestering carbon dioxide through the minerals that are being formed and taken out of the rock matrix.
This was first discovered in 1859. This is a photograph by Franz Hueber. This photograph's taken 1950s in Saudi Arabia. 420 million years ago, this organism existed. It was called Prototaxites. Prototaxites, laying down, was about three feet tall. The tallest plants on Earth at that time were less than two feet. Dr. Boyce, at the University of Chicago, published an article in the Journal of Geology this past year determining that Prototaxites was a giant fungus, a giant mushroom. Across the landscapes of Earth were dotted these giant mushrooms. All across most land masses. And these existed for tens of millions of years.
Now we've had several extinction events, and as we march forward, 65 million years ago ... most of you know about it: we had an asteroid impact. The earth was struck by an asteroid, a huge amount of debris was jettisoned into the atmosphere. Sunlight was cut off, and fungi inherited the Earth. Those organisms that paired with fungi were rewarded, because fungi do not need light. More recently, at Einstein University, they just determined that fungi use radiation as a source of energy, much like plants use light. So the prospect of fungi existing on other planets elsewhere, I think, is a foregone conclusion, at least in my own mind.
The largest organism in the world is in Eastern Oregon. I couldn't miss it. It was 2,200 acres in size. 2,200 acres in size, 2,000 years old. The largest organism on the planet is a mycelial mat, one cell wall thick. How is it that this organism can be so large and yet be one cell wall thick, whereas we have five or six skin layers that protect us?
The mycelium, in the right conditions, produces a mushroom. It bursts through with such ferocity that it can break asphalt.

We were involved with several experiments. I'm going to show you six, if I can, solutions for helping to save the world. Battelle Laboratories and I joined up in Bellingham, Washington, there were four piles saturated with diesel and other petroleum waste. One was a control pile, one pile was treated with enzymes, one pile was treated with bacteria and our pile we inoculated with mushroom mycelium. The mycelium absorbs the oil. The mycelium is producing enzymes, peroxydases, that break carbon-hydrogen bonds. These are the same bonds that hold hydrocarbons together. So the mycelium becomes saturated with the oil, and then, when we returned six weeks later, all the tarps were removed, all the other piles were dead, dark, and stinky. We came back to our pile, it was covered with hundreds of pounds of oyster mushrooms, and the color changed to a light form. The enzymes re-manufactured the hydrocarbons into carbohydrates. Fungal sugars.
Some of these mushrooms are very happy mushrooms. They're very large. They're showing how much nutrition that they could've obtained. But something else happened, which was an epiphany in my life. They sporulated, the spores attract insects, the insects laid eggs, eggs became larvae. Birds then came, bringing in seeds, and our pile became an oasis of life. Whereas the other three piles were dead, dark and stinky, and the PAH's, the aromatic hydrocarbons, went from 10,000 parts per million to less than 200 in eight weeks. The last image we don't have: the entire pile was a green berm of life. These are gateway species. Vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.
So I invented burlap sacks (bunker spawn), and putting the mycelium using storm blown debris, you can take these burlap sacks and put them downstream from a farm that's producing E. coli, or other wastes, or a factory with chemical toxins, and it leads to habitat restoration. So we set up a site in Mason County, Washington, and we've seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of coliforms. And I'll show you a graph here. This is a logarithmic scale, 10 to the eighth power. There's more than a 100 million colonies per gram, and 10 to the third power is around 1,000. In 48 hours to 72 hours, these three mushroom species reduced the amount of coliform bacteria 10,000 times. Think of the implications. This is a space-conservative method that uses storm debris. And we can be guaranteed that we will have storms every year.

So this one mushroom, in particular, has drawn our interest over time. This is my wife Dusty with a mushroom called Fomitopsis officinalis = Agaricon. It's a mushroom exclusive to the old-growth forest, that Dioscorides first described in 65 A.D. as a treatment against consumption. This mushroom grows in Washington state, Oregon, Northern California, British Columbia, now thought to be extinct in Europe. May not seem that large, let's get closer! This is extremely rare fungus. Our team, and we have a team of experts that go out, we went out 20 times in the old-growth forest last year - we found one sample to be able to get into culture.
Preserving the genome of these fungi in the old growth forest I think is absolutely critical for human health. I've been involved with the U.S. Defense Department BioShield program. We submitted over 300 samples of mushrooms that were boiled in hot water, and mycelium harvesting these extracellular metabolites. And a few years ago, we received these results. We have three different strains of Agaricon mushrooms that were highly active against pox viruses. Dr. Earl Kern, who's a smallpox expert of the U.S. Defense Department, states that any compounds that have a selectivity index of two or more are active. 10 or greater are considered to be very active. Our mushroom strains were in the highly active range. There's a vetted press release that you can read, it's vetted by DoD, if you Google "Stamets" and "smallpox". Or you can go to NPR.org and listen to a live interview.
So, encouraged by this, naturally we went to flu viruses. And so for the first time I am showing this. We have three different strains of Agaricon mushrooms highly active against flu viruses. Here's the selectivity index numbers. Against pox, you saw 10s and 20s, now against flu viruses, compared to the ribavirin controls, we have an extraordinarily high activity. And we're using a natural extract within the same dosage window as a pure pharmaceutical. We tried it against flu A viruses, H1N1, H3N2, as well as flu B viruses. So then we tried a blend, and in a blend combination we tried it against H5N1, and we got greater than 1,000 selectivity index. (Applause) I then think that we can make the argument that we should save the old-growth forest as a matter of national defense. (Applause)

I became interested in entomopathogenic fungi, fungi that kill insects. Our house was being destroyed by carpenter ants. So I went to the EPA homepage, and they were recommending studies with metarhizium species of a group of fungi that kill carpenter ants, as well as termites. I did something that nobody else had done. I actually chased the mycelium when it stopped producing spores. These are spores. This is in their spores. I was able to morph the culture into a non-sporulating form. And so the industry has spent over 100 million dollars specifically on bait stations to prevent termites from eating your house. But the insects aren't stupid, and they would avoid the spores when they came close, and so I morphed the cultures into a non-sporulating form. And I got my daughter's Barbie doll dish, I put it right where a bunch of carpenter ants were making debris fields, every day, in my house, and the ants were attracted to the mycelium, because there's no spores. They gave it to the queen. One week later, I had no sawdust piles whatsoever.
And then - a delicate dance between dinner and death - the mycelium is consumed by the ants, they become mummified and, boing, a mushroom pops out of their head. (Laughter) Now after sporulation, the spores repel. So the house is no longer suitable for invasion. So you have a near-permanent solution for re-invasion of termites. And so my house came down, I received my first patent against carpenter ants, termites and fire ants. Then we tried extracts, and, lo and behold, we can steer insects to different directions. This has huge implications. I then received my second patent and this is a big one. It's been called an Alexander Graham Bell patent, it covers over 200,000 species. This is the most disruptive technology, I've been told by executives of the pesticide industry, that they have ever witnessed. This could totally revamp the pesticide industries throughout the world. You could fly 100 Ph.D. students under the umbrella of this concept, because my supposition is that entomopathogenic fungi, prior to sporulation, attract the very insects that are otherwise repelled by those spores.

And so I came up with a Life Box because I needed a delivery system. The Life Box – you're gonna be getting a DVD of the TED conference – you add soil, you add water, you have mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi as well as spores, like of the Agaricon mushroom. The seeds then are mothered by this mycelium. And then you put tree seeds in here, and then you end up growing – poten tially – an old growth forest from a cardboard box.
I want to re-invent the delivery system and the use of cardboard around the world, so they become ecological footprints. If there's a YouTube like site that you could put up, you could make it interactive, zip code-specific, where people could join together, and through satellite imaging systems, through Virtual Earth or Google Earth, you could confirm carbon credits are being sequestered by the trees that are coming through Life Boxes.
You could take a cardboard box delivering shoes, you could add water – I developed this for the refugee community – corns, beans, and squash, and onions. I took several containers – my wife said, if I could do this, anybody could – and I ended up growing a seed garden. Then you harvest the seeds – and thank you, Eric Rasmussen, for your help on this – and then you're harvesting the seed garden. Then you can harvest the kernels, and then you just need a few kernels ... I add mycelium to it, and then I inoculate the corn cobs. Now, three corn cobs, no other grain – lots of mushrooms begin to form. Too many withdrawals from the carbon bank, and so this population will be shut down. But watch what happens here. The mushrooms then are harvested, but very importantly, the mycelium has converted the cellulose into fungal sugars. And so I thought, how could we address the energy crisis in this country? And we came up with Econol.
Generating ethanol from cellulose using mycelium as an intermediary and you gain all the benefits that I've described to you already. But to go from cellulose to ethanol is ecologically unintelligent, and I think that we need to be econologically intelligent about the generation of fuels. So we build the carbon banks on the planet, renew the soils ... these are a species that we need to join with. I think engaging mycelium can help save the world. Thank you very much. (Applause)
