Lucis Trust

Originally named Lucifer's Trust. In the 1980s Robert McNamara was repeatedly named as a member/director by Lyndon Larouche's group, which also talked to representatives of the trust.

Lucis Trust has refused to answer this author regarding any questions about past directorships or financial support, but looking at this list of conservation-linked NGOs it would be almost strange if Robert M., Maurice S. and the Rockefeller Fdn. haven't been involved to a degree. 1922

Manitou Foundation, Baca Ranch, San Luis Valley

Founders: Maurice Strong and Laurance Rockefeller. Also involved: Steven Greer (Baha'i follower who organized CSETI UFO contact trainings at the Baca Ranch and surrounding areas from at least 1993 to 1998, in the same period he was cooperating with Laurance on UFO disclosure). It's a remote spiritual retreat center at the Sangro de Cristo mountains where many world religions have one or two representatives. The location is known for its past UFO activity and for being the first location where cattle mutilations were reported (1967, Snippy case). There appears to be a lot of gnostic symbolism involved and the retreat seems to have a lot in common with the globalist ideas of the Baha'i Faith, which in turn is completely, one hundred percent compatible with the United Nations ideas on world government. 1988

Human Potential Foundation (HPF)

C. B. Scott Jones (president; six year special assistant to Sen. Pell) | Claiborne Pell | Laurance Rockefeller (financier to the tune of $700,000) | Hans Adam II von Liechtenstein | John Mack (abduction researcher who received $200,000 from HPF).



Helped finance the Center for Treatment and Research of Experienced Anomalous Trauma (TREAT) conferences on abductions and other paranormal phenomena. Rima Laibow (founder and organizer; psychiatrist; later wife of Army Intelligence Gen. Albert Stubblebine; both major disinformers) | Victoria Lacas (abduction researcher married to Col. John Alexander, a friend of Stubblebine and Hans Adam) | Budd Hopkins (close friend of Hans Adam; both tried to find out details of the alleged alien kidnapping of UN secretary general Javier Perez de Cuellar) | Lyn Buchanan (remote viewer).



Laurance R. financed John Mack's 1993 Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER), an alien abductee support group which laid the groundwork for Mack's 1994 best-selling book 'Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens'. Allegedly provided Mack with $250,000 annually in the early 1990s.



Colin Andrews: The premier British crop circle researcher (and certainly in recent years a believer in a global warming armageddon) was financed by Laurance R. in the late 1990s. Already in 1992 Greer accompanied Andrews, doing meditation experiments.



1995 HPF conference: John Mack | Zecharia Sitchin (According to Richard Hoagland on Coast to Coast AM, I believe with Sitchin critic Mike Heiser, Sitchin had an office at Rockefeller Plaza. Hoagland was discussing his/their experiences with Sitchin.) 1989

Fund for UFO Research Roswell conference, Washington, D.C.

Held at the Smithsonian. Heads of FUFOR: Don Berliner and Bruce Maccabee. Financiers of the conference: Hans Adam II von Liechtenstein and Robert Bigelow. Brought together numerous witnesses of the 1947 Roswell crash. Interviews with the witnesses leads to the video 'Recollections of Roswell', which appears to be good for the most part - except for the questionable San Agustin crash witnesses. Bigelow was involved in financing part of the research into that aspect of the crash, as a picture can be seen in Stanton Friedman's book 'Crash at Corona' of Bigelow and Friedman looking out over the San Agustin plains. 1990

Rockefeller Initiative on UFO disclosure

Laurance Rockefeller (prime mover). White House: Bill Clinton (on April 14, 1993 Laurance meets Clinton at the White House over the issue) | Jack Gibbons (White House scientist briefed by Rockefeller and C. B. Scott Jones on the subject) | John Podesta (Clinton's assistant and later chief of staff; spoke out publicly in favor of disclosure) | Webster Hubbell (Clinton's associate attorney general; looked into UFOs and JFK, but got nothing).



Round table discussion at the JY Ranch: representatives from Gibbons office | Richard Farley | Laurance Rockefeller | Henry Diamond | C. B. Scott Jones | John Mack | Dr. Bruce Maccabee | Leo Sprinkle | Linda Moulton Howe | Steven Greer | Keith Thompson. Bill and Hillary Clinton were also been guests of Laurance at the ranch.



Eventually Laurance Rockefeller and the president back off, apparently fearing repurcussions. The only thing published is 'UFO's: The Best Available Evidence', at different times funded by Laurance Rockefeller, Robert Bigelow and Joe Firmage. 1993-1996

Disclosure Project

Dr. Steven Greer (founder and CEO) | Daniel Sheehan (long-time lawyer to the project and witness) | Laurance Rockefeller (limited financial supporter) | Mary and Evan Galbraith (cooperated with Greer for some time in the 1990s in writing 'UFO's: The Best Available Evidence' - until they had a falling out).



Examples of witnesses used:

- Dr. Fred Bell (listed as "Dr. B.". Not mentioned: new age guru, Pleiadean contactee who believes in reptilians, that Greys eat humans dissolved in acid, that no plane hit the WTC and that 2012 was going to be the end of the world)

- Jim Dilettoso (identity kept hidden, but reported as being reliable. Not mentioned: murky past and known UFO cultist. George A. Hormel II, owner of the Wrigley Mansion, invested in Dilettoso's projects.)

- James Angleton, Jr. (Greer has hinted that this person gave him information. Not mentioned: Reportedly no relationship to the CI chief. However, he is an AFIO leader with the nation's CIA covert operations establishment - with people who would absolute have no interest in releasing classified information)

- Sergeant Robert O. Dean, backed by L. Rockefeller and Claiborne Pell in Congress in 1996, became an important Disclosure Project witness (talking about "ACIO" and 20-something levels about top secret), but these days talks about Annunaki and reptilians to anyone who wants to hear it. In addition, an interested and moderate NATO historian rationally debunked papers he provided as being fake.

- Gordon Creighton and Lord Admiral Hill-Norton are presented as reliable. In fact, both have viewed the abduction subject as being done by demons. Already in the 1970s Creighton was warning that people "have been carried off and ... certainly haven't come back again." Already back then Creighton promoted an author who in turn inspired Erich von Daniken.



Without naming their names directly, Greer has claimed that General Albert Stubblebine and Colonel John Alexander have tried to recruit him into a cell that has infiltrated the civilian UFO community. Those who watched the Hans Adam-financed movie 'Intruders' can see that the same thing happened to Budd Hopkins (by an actor who plays a general who looks like the twin brother of Gen. Stubblebine).



Mentioned by Greer as not having any inside knowledge:



1) General Patrick Hughes, DIA director 1996-1999, who has a major special operations background but is far from an elitist.



2) Adm. Thomas R. Wilson, J-2 intelligence chief for the joined chiefs and DIA head 1999-2002.



Mentioned by Greer as having inside knowledge on the subject (true or not, he spoke to these people or persons close to them): George Shultz | the Bechtel family | David Rockefeller | Peter Peterson | Maxwell Rabb | Claiborne Pell | the Rothschild family | Pehr Gyllenhammar (indirect, but controlled Volvo until the early 1990s) | Hans Adam | Adm. Harry Train | Adm. Bobby Ray Inman. Also: Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld (warned against their re-election in 2004 and that these individuals have direct knowledge of these topics - then again, Greer is politically hundred percent in line with men as Al Gore and Maurice Strong).



Interesting observation: Greer most definitely had a dinner party in 1993 with then-sitting CIA director James Woolsey (who was never allowed to meet president Clinton one-on-one) and John Petersen and their wives on the subject. The participants in the dinner disagree, however, with Greer's account of it. Greer claimed the CIA director was almost in tears that he wasn't told anything about the subject. The other participants, claim, however, that they were just politely listening to his views, but did not necessarily believe in them. Strangely, James W. has incredibly deep ties to the defense industry, the liberal and conservative establishment, and the Navy at the highest levels. If he doesn't know anything about the subject, then pretty much no one does. 1993

Ian Punnett thanked this author for a number of questions sent in, but subsequently forgot to ask a single one of them to Finkbeiner (or even one critical question). Since C2C is a show on UFOs and the paranormal, what's the purpose of bringing Finkbeiner on if there's no focus on these topics? And why would Finkbeiner target the conspiracy community if she wants to be taken seriously?) 1995

National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS)
