James Randi Channeled by Karl Mollison 01May2022

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi

James Randi (August 7, 1928 – October 20, 2020) was a Canadian-American stage magician and scientific skeptic who extensively challenged paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. 

He was the son of Marie Alice (née Paradis; 1906-1987) and George Randall Zwinge (1903-1967), an executive at Bell Telephone Company. He was of French, Danish and Austrian descent.

He had a younger brother and sister. He took up magic after seeing Harry Blackstone Sr. and reading conjuring books while spending 13 months in a body cast following a bicycle accident. He confounded doctors, who expected he would never walk again.

Randi scored 168 on an IQ test. He often skipped classes, and at 17, dropped out of high school to perform as a conjurer in a carnival roadshow.  He practiced as a mentalist in local nightclubs and at Toronto’s Canadian National Exhibition and wrote for Montreal’s tabloid press.

As a teenager, he stumbled upon a church where the pastor claimed to read minds. After he re-enacted the trick before the parishioners, the pastor’s wife called the police and he spent four hours in a jail cell. This inspired his career as a scientific skeptic.

In his 20s, Randi posed as an astrologer, and to establish that they merely were doing simple tricks, he briefly wrote an astrological column in the Canadian tabloid Midnight under the name “Zo-ran” by simply shuffling up items from newspaper astrology columns and pasting them randomly into a column. In his 30s, Randi worked in the UK, Europe, Philippine nightclubs, and Japan. He witnessed many tricks that were presented as being supernatural. One of his earliest reported experiences was that of seeing an evangelist using a version of the “one-ahead”[ technique to convince churchgoers of his divine powers.

He was the co-founder of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), and founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). Randi began his career as a magician under the stage name The Amazing Randi and later chose to devote most of his time to investigating paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims, which he collectively called “woo-woo”.

Randi retired from practicing magic at age 60, and from his foundation at 87. Although often referred to as a “debunker”, Randi said he disliked the term’s connotations and preferred to describe himself as an “investigator”. He wrote about paranormal phenomena, skepticism, and the history of magic. He was a frequent guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, famously exposing fraudulent faith healer Peter Popoff, and was occasionally featured on the television program Penn & Teller: Bullshit!

Before Randi’s retirement, JREF sponsored the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, which offered a prize of one million US dollars to eligible applicants who could demonstrate evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event under test conditions agreed to by both parties.

In 2015, the James Randi Educational Foundation said they will no longer accept applications directly from people claiming to have a paranormal power, but will offer the challenge to anyone who has passed a preliminary test that meets with their approval.

Randi died at his home on October 20, 2020, at the age of 92. The James Randi Educational Foundation attributed his death to “age-related causes”. The Center for Inquiry said that Randi “was the public face of skeptical inquiry, bringing a sense of fun and mischievousness to a serious mission.” Kendrick Frazier said, as part of the statement,

“Despite his ferocity in challenging all forms of nonsense, in person he was a kind and gentle man.”

Donald Rumsfeld Channeled by Karl Mollison 24Apr2022

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld’

Donald Henry Rumsfeld July 9, 1932 – June 29, 2021 was an American politician, government official and businessman who served as Secretary of Defense from 1975 to 1977 under president Gerald Ford, and again from 2001 to 2006 under President George W. Bush.

He was both the youngest and the oldest secretary of defense. Additionally, Rumsfeld was a three-term U.S. Congressman from Illinois (1963–1969), director of the Office of Economic Opportunity (1969–1970), Counselor to the President (1969–1973), the U.S. Representative to NATO (1973–1974), and the White House Chief of Staff (1974–1975). Between his terms as secretary of defense, he served as the CEO and chairman of several companies.

Born in Illinois, Rumsfeld attended Princeton University, graduating in 1954 with a degree in political science. After serving in the Navy for three years, he mounted a campaign for Congress in Illinois’s 13th Congressional District, winning in 1962 at the age of 30. While in Congress, he was a leading co-sponsor of the Freedom of Information Act. Rumsfeld accepted an appointment by President Richard Nixon to head the Office of Economic Opportunity in 1969; appointed counsellor by Nixon and entitled to Cabinet-level status, he also headed up the Economic Stabilization Program before being appointed ambassador to NATO. Called back to Washington in August 1974, Rumsfeld was appointed chief of staff by President Ford.

Rumsfeld recruited a young one-time staffer of his, Dick Cheney, to succeed him when Ford nominated him to be Secretary of Defense in 1975. When Ford lost the 1976 election, Rumsfeld returned to private business and financial life, and was named president and CEO of the pharmaceutical corporation G. D. Searle & Company. He was later named CEO of General Instrument from 1990 to 1993 and chairman of Gilead Sciences from 1997 to 2001.

Rumsfeld was appointed Secretary of Defense for a second time in January 2001 by President George W. Bush. As Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld played a central role in the invasion of Afghanistan and invasion of Iraq. Before and during the Iraq War, he claimed that Iraq had an active weapons of mass destruction program; yet no stockpiles were ever found. A Pentagon Inspector General report found that Rumsfeld’s top policy aide “developed, produced, and then disseminated alternative intelligence assessments on the Iraq and al-Qaeda relationship, which included some conclusions that were inconsistent with the consensus of the Intelligence Community, to senior decision-makers “Eight U.S. and other NATO-member retired generals and admirals called for Rumsfeld to resign in early 2006 in what was called the “Generals Revolt”, accusing him of “abysmal” military planning and lack of strategic competence.

Commentator Pat Buchanan reported at the time that Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, who traveled often to Iraq and supported the war, said the generals “mirror the views of 75 percent of the officers in the field, and probably more”. Rumsfeld rebuffed these criticisms, stating, “out of thousands and thousands of admirals and generals, if every time two or three people disagreed we changed the secretary of defense of the United States, it would be like a merry-go-round.”

Bush defended Rumsfeld throughout and responded by stating that Rumsfeld is “exactly what is needed”.

Rumsfeld shakes President Bush’s hand as he announces his resignation, November 8, 2006.

On November 1, 2006, Bush stated he would stand by Rumsfeld as defense secretary for the length of his term as president. Rumsfeld wrote a resignation letter dated November 6, 2006, and, per the stamp on the letter, Bush saw it on Election Day, November 7, 2006. Rumsfeld’s tenure was controversial for its use of torture and the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal.

In his retirement years, he published an autobiography, Known and Unknown, as well as Rumsfeld’s Rules: Leadership Lessons in Business, Politics, War, and Life.

He died on June 29, 2021, at the age of 88.

Napoleon Bonaparte Channeled by Karl Mollison 03Apr2022

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon

Napoleon Bonaparte 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821 was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars.

He was the de facto leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804. As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814 and again in 1815. Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars.

He won most of these wars and battles, building a large empire that ruled over continental Europe before its collapse in 1815.

He was one of the greatest military commanders in history, and his wars and campaigns are studied in military schools worldwide. Napoleon’s political and cultural legacy has endured, and he has been one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in world history.

Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica not long after its annexation by the Kingdom of France.  He supported the French Revolution in 1789 while serving in the French army, and tried to spread its ideals to his native Corsica. He rose rapidly in the Army after he saved the governing French Directory by firing on royalist insurgents. In 1796, he began a military campaign against the Austrians and their Italian allies, scoring decisive victories and becoming a national hero. Two years later, he led a military expedition to Egypt that served as a springboard to political power.

He engineered a coup in November 1799 and became First Consul of the Republic. Differences with the British meant that the French faced the War of the Third Coalition by 1805. Napoleon shattered this coalition with victories in the Ulm Campaign, and at the Battle of Austerlitz, which led to the dissolving of the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1806, the Fourth Coalition took up arms against him because Prussia became worried about growing French influence on the continent. Napoleon knocked out Prussia at the battles of Jena and Auerstedt, marched the Grande Armée into Eastern Europe, annihilating the Russians in June 1807 at Friedland, and forcing the defeated nations of the Fourth Coalition to accept the Treaties of Tilsit.

Two years later, the Austrians challenged the French again during the War of the Fifth Coalition, but Napoleon solidified his grip over Europe after triumphing at the Battle of Wagram.

Hoping to extend the Continental System, his embargo against Britain, Napoleon invaded the Iberian Peninsula and declared his brother Joseph King of Spain in 1808. The Spanish and the Portuguese revolted in the Peninsular War, culminating in defeat for Napoleon’s marshals.

Napoleon launched an invasion of Russia in the summer of 1812.

The resulting campaign witnessed the catastrophic retreat of Napoleon’s Grande Armée. In 1813, Prussia and Austria joined Russian forces in a Sixth Coalition against France. A chaotic military campaign resulted in a large coalition army defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813.

The coalition invaded France and captured Paris, forcing Napoleon to abdicate in April 1814. He was exiled to the island of Elba, between Corsica and Italy. In France, the Bourbons were restored to power.

However, Napoleon escaped Elba in February 1815 and took control of France.  The Allies responded by forming a Seventh Coalition, which defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815.

The British exiled him to the remote island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic, where he died in 1821 at the age of 51. Napoleon had an extensive impact on the modern world, bringing liberal reforms to the many countries he conquered, especially the Low Countries, Switzerland, and parts of modern Italy and Germany. He implemented liberal policies in France and Western Europe.

Pierre Lafitte Channeled by Karl Mollison 27Mar2022

This background photo may or may not be Pierre Lafitte.

Upon his arrest by the FBI in the early 60’s the CIA ordered all photographs of him removed and scrubbed. Allegedly they were successful except this one photograph of Jack Martin which was one of many, many of his false names he used throughout his nefarious dealings which started in Europe before the 2nd World War.

It is alleged that Pierre Lafitte was the logistical coordinator, or the CIA Lancelot project manager, working closely with Tracy Barnes, James Angleton and Allen Dulles, and on the scene in Dallas for the assassination of President Kennedy.

From A Secret Order, H.P. Albarelli, Jr.:

“There is also overlooked issue that Martin may not have been who he claimed to be. In 1963 and beyond, Jean Pierre Lafitte, an asset and sometimes contractor for the CIA and FBI since 1952, often frequented and worked in New Orleans. Using the aliases ’Jean Martin,’ ’Jack Martin,’ a ’John Martin.’ Additionally, Lafitte had mysterious dealings with Guy banister and Clay Shaw…. Not to complicate matters, but it should be noted that Jack S. Martin had in early 1957 spent time in the psychiatric ward at New Orleans’ Charity Hospital, where some patients from the East Louisiana State Hospital were transferred after that have been used as subjects in LSD and other experiments.”

Judyth Baker’s book and her own claims backed up in the newer version of her book Lee Harvey Oswald and Me corroborates Albarreli’s recent book A Coup in Dallas where Pierre Lafitte’s datebook services as the evidentiary centerpiece.

The idea here is that this piece of the puzzle, which is not definitive, further demonstrates how the saga of the Kennedy assassination turned the world in a decidedly dark direction especially with the complicit and controlled media that turned journalistic ’truth seeking” into the joke of the century.

Light Beings, which is what we are, including the one known as Pierre Lafitte, have a different and loftier view of this tragedy and is overshadowed in every case, by the current predicament of the Human Family.

William Whitecrow Channeled by Karl Mollison 20Mar2022

From: https://enkispeaks.com/william-white-crow-d-feb-2018-rescued-basiago-on-mars/

William White Crow was a U.S. Army and also CIA Security Agent on the Mars Jump Room Project.  He revealed that he taught time traveler-Mars Jump Room Courier Basiago karate and aikido during Basiago’s 5th grade year to prepare him for training for time travel in Project Pegasus.  White Crow and Basiago met again a decade later on Mars. On the Red Planet, where White Crow and Basiago were involved in a live fire incident in which they protected themselves and a third Mars jumper, William Stillings, from an attack by dive-bombing pterodactyl-like predators.

White Crow was a Shaman and seer of future events including the 911 event, collapse of the St. Louis bridge, Mt. Saint Helen eruption and Fukushima.  He was in several secret limited access programs. 

In a major disclosure as a time travel and Mars whistle blower, U.S. Army veteran William White Crow came forward as a witness last night on Truth Frequency Radio with Chris and Sheree Geo and revealed that not only did he teach Andy karate and aikido during his fifth grade year as part of his training for time travel in Project Pegasus but the two met up a decade later on Mars, where they were involved in a live fire incident in which he and Andy protected themselves and a third Mars jumper, William Stillings, from an attack by dive-bombing pterodactyl-like predators.

White Crow predicted two futures for mankind and both of them depend on the decisions we make now. “We have the ability to choose whether we are going to become a part of the sixth great extinction which is taking place right now, or advance to a higher level of humanity as a species spiritually, intellectually and technologically. It’s all up to us.” William White Crow

He wrote: “I became a Shaman because I wanted to see further into the future of things and help others reach their highest goals in life. I wanted to know the things that I felt deep inside were true. And over time I found that these feelings would become the guiding light of my life in all areas. I can, at a moments notice, simply phase out this world at will and interact with the world of spirit or energy, which to me is the same thing. They are not disconnected from one another.”

From Denny

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with William near his home in Redding after an introduction from Mark McCandlish. He struck me as someone with more experiences than he could share in a video interview and that for me to get to know him better I would need to take him up on a sweat lodge invitation.  He was in the process of getting one build on his property at the time of our interview in November of 2016.

Perhaps on the other side? White Crow has something to share with us now from the other side.

Philip Seymour Hoffman Channeled by Karl Mollison 06Mar2022

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Seymour_Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman July 23, 1967 – February 2, 2014 was an American actor, director, and producer. Best known for his distinctive supporting and character roles—typically lowlifes, eccentrics, bullies, and misfits—he acted in many films, including leading roles, from the early 1990s until his death in 2014.

Born and raised in Fairport, New York, Hoffman was drawn to theater in his youth after attending a stage production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons at age 12. Hoffman studied acting at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, began his screen career in a 1991 episode of Law & Order, and started to appear in films in 1992. He gained recognition for his supporting work, notably in Scent of a Woman (1992), Twister (1996), Boogie Nights (1997), Happiness (1998), Patch Adams (1998), The Big Lebowski (1998), Magnolia (1999), The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Almost Famous (2000), Punch-Drunk Love (2002), and Along Came Polly (2004). He began to occasionally play leading roles, and for his portrayal of the author Truman Capote in Capote (2005) won multiple accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Actor. Hoffman’s profile continued to grow and he received three nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performances as a brutally frank CIA officer in Charlie Wilson’s War (2007), a Catholic priest accused of pedophilia in Doubt (2008), and the charismatic leader of a Scientology-type movement in The Master (2012).

While he mainly worked in independent films, including The Savages (2007) and Synecdoche, New York (2008), Hoffman also appeared in Flawless (1999), and Hollywood blockbusters such as Twister (1996), Mission: Impossible III (2006), and in one of his final roles, as Plutarch Heavensbee in the Hunger Games series (2013–15). The feature Jack Goes Boating (2010) marked his debut as a filmmaker. Hoffman was also an accomplished theater actor and director. He joined the off -Broadway LAByrinth Theater Company in 1995, where he directed, produced, and appeared in numerous stage productions. His performances in three Broadway plays—True West in 2000, Long Day’s Journey into Night in 2003, and Death of a Salesman in 2012—all led to Tony Award nominations.

Hoffman struggled with drug addiction as a young adult and relapsed in 2012 after many years of abstinence. In February 2014, he died of combined drug intoxication. Remembered for his fearlessness in playing reprehensible characters, and for bringing depth and humanity to such roles, Hoffman was described in his New York Times obituary as “perhaps the most ambitious and widely admired American actor of his generation”.

Mark McCandlish Channeled by Karl Mollison 27Feb2022

Mark McCandlish 1954 – April 2021

It was reported widely on the internet & social media on 3 May 2021 that Mark McCandlish committed suicide 13 April 2021. He was found by his girlfriend in his home in Redding CA when he did not show up at the animal shelter where he worked, supposedly with a self-inflicted shot to his head with a shotgun. The opinion of several writers and researchers that knew him was that he was most likely ‘suicided’ perhaps like some others who have been subjects of this channeling series. In one report he was supposed to testify to a US Senate “meeting” on UFOS and UAPs (the new term for UFOs, “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”).

I, Denny Hunt, did a 4-part interview with him in January of 2017 for my YouTube channel Why Is This True? He was very kind and accommodating in this interview and we became friends of a sort due to our common interests and he also was helpful to me with other interviews and also during the episode following William Whitecrow’s mysterious death which was also ruled a suicide by the same Coroner’s Office as far as I know.

Mark was an internationally-recognized artist who specialized in aviation and conceptual art within the defense and aerospace industries for the better part of the last thirty years, serving the needs of many of the top American corporations in this regard. Mark’s father was a twenty-five-year veteran of the United States Air Force and as a consequence, Mark had a life-long love of aircraft and aviation history. His first UFO sighting occurred at Westover Air Force Base in the State of Massachusetts, in the Winter of 1966 and he observed the craft through an 80-power telescope for about ten minutes before it accelerated out of sight at an extreme velocity. He later discovered that this craft had been hovering above a flight of nuclear-armed Boeing B-52′s sitting on the Alert Ramp of the flight line on base. Mr. McCandlish spent most of his life trying to discover the science that would make such incredible performance possible, and he believed there is a plausible answer to interstellar flight without violating the currently-accepted laws of physics. Having had literally dozens of sightings since 1966, he felt certain that this carefully protected technology has been co-opted by an as-yet-unknown group, and the sequestration of this technology has provided that organization tremendous leverage in world politics, finance and international conflicts over the past five decades.

It was not my impression that he was one to play along with whatever was palatable or politically correct and he was also willing to entertain testimony that many others in his field would dismiss with prejudice. He also had a great ability to explain his work and always came across with credibility and humility. I think I was quite naive at the time of the interview with him in 2017, but he was probably instrumental in my path to the current understanding of what and why we are experiencing the world in its current state of decline and confusion.
