Collapse of Societies: From Easter Island to Iraq – to Western World?

The statues of Rapa Nui on Easter Island are called moai in the Rapanui language. In the totem tradition of some other Polynesian cultures to honor ancestors and display strength and wealth, statues were carved from the island's lava stone between 900 A.D. and around 1500 A. D. Approximately half of the total of 887 statues documented to date still remain in the immediate vicinity of Rano Raraku, the quarry in which they were produced. The statues were transported and erected with the leverage help of the island's once abundant tall palm trees which were eventually all cut down. Photograph © Cliff Wassman.

February 26, 2005  Los Angeles, California – Among earth mysteries, some of the greatest are the haunting remains of past civilizations such as the Mayan pyramids of Mexico and Central America; the elaborate, deserted temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia; and the huge and heavy stone statues on remote Easter Island, 2300 miles west of Chile’ in South America. The island and its strange statues were not discovered until Easter Day on April 5, 1722 by a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen. Like all subsequent visitors, Roggeveen was puzzled about how the natives there had erected the large lava rock statues, one as tall as 39 feet. And why?Click for report.

Col. Philip J. Corso told me that he had seen with his own eyes, during his work for the Eisenhower and Kennedy Administrations, highly classified documents about unusual and bloodless animal deaths around the world dated as early as 1951. That would be only four years after the Roswell, New Mexico, headlines about an unidentified flying disc that had crashed near Corona.

Kyoto Protocol Goes Into Affect February 16, 2005. British Scientists Warn Global Temperatures Could Be Even Greater Than Earlier Estimates.

“In the early part of the record around 1958 on, the average annual rate of carbon dioxide growth was something like 0.7 parts per million (ppm) per year, whereas in the past five or six years, the average rate of growth has been more like 1.8 ppm per year ­ two and a half times faster. And up to 2.54 ppm in 2002-2003.”

February 3, 2005  Washington, D. C. – While the world has a new consciousness about the danger of tsunamis in the oceans and the need for better warning systems, above us in the atmosphere, another danger increases and warnings grow more loudly than ever. That danger is the ever-increasing amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases surrounding our planet and making it warmer. Yet, the warnings seem to be ignored by the United States, Australia, China, India and Brazil.

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

Aloha Linda,
Tonight I was listening to you on Coast when I recalled an incident which happened in 1951 while my Dad was stationed at the Millington Naval Air Station in Tennessee. Millington was in the middle of cotton fields then.
My Dad was the Maintainance Officer at the Station. He came home from work one day, crying like a baby, which upset all in the family, since very rarely did we see our Father cry.
He told us about his best friend, a Navy pilot who we all knew since this man always made home-made ice cream for us. His (Dad’s) best friend had disappeared along with his plane…completely disappeared after chasing a UFO near the Naval Base there in Millington.
I was 12 at the time and had never heard the words UFO in my life.
I remember asking my Dad what a UFO was and his only reply was that they were bad people….so for many years growing up I just assumed UFOs were some kind of enemies of the U.S.
I also remember my Dad being very sad and angry for about two weeks. He finally told us that his friend and his plane were gone forever never to be found. After that short conversation, my Dad never mentioned this incident again or his best friend.
Sorry, I cannot remember the name of the pilot and my Dad has passed away.
Love your site!!!
Aloha nui loa,Click for report.

Nebraska Resident:

“As a former university archivist, I can assure you that the person you interviewed for your December 11th Dreamland report was correct in every detail of his description of archival protocol and operation.

I write requesting confidentiality, but perhaps you might be interested to know that there is sensitive information on the controversial subject of UFOs and related subjects at both the Nebraska State Historical Society and at the Archives/Special Collections of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. But such is the case across the country’s archives. Click for report.
