A front page piece in the L.A. Times yesterday, Threat of 'Dirty Bomb' Growing, Officials Say,
tells us that there's readily available material for “a 'dirty bomb' that would spew radioactive fallout across an American or European city…it would result in some fatalities, radiation sickness, mass panic and enormous economic damage.” This chilling story goes on to say, “The threat of attack is great enough that a senior European intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it is 'not a matter of if there is a nuclear-related attack by Al Qaeda, but when it occurs.'” The head of the MIA, which is the British CIA, says, “…it will only be a matter of time before a crude version of a CBRN attack is launched at a major Western city and only a matter of time before that crude version becomes something more sophisticated…”
Every time I read things about the possibility of the horror of what's happened elsewhere, and worse, befalling my city, I'm renewed in my determination to get the crop circles to be taken seriously. It's not a “So what?,” as some suggest. Paul Horowitz, Project Director of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), which used to be a government agency and now is privately funded — significantly by Paul Allen, a founder of Microsoft (I've written to him) — says what would apply to some women, too:
If we were to discover extra-terrestrial life, it would show that we are not intellectually unique in the galaxy. Man has a tendency to think he's very special. We consider ourselves morally, culturally, and intellectually unique. But if we were to find a signal from another star system, another thinking being, we would know that none of that is true. A connection with another intelligence would be the first bridging across four billion years of independent life in evolution. It would be the end of Earth's cultural isolation in a galaxy and a universe surely containing millions of other civilizations. It would be without doubt the greatest discovery in the history of humankind.
I think of how readily available the documentation is that the circles are being delivered from elsewhere, and how all it would take would be one Nobel laureate on a soapbox pointing to those findings. Or one Dustin Hoffman, whom I met in a waiting room right after doing my PowerPoint circle presentation for his daughter's high school class — and who's not different from others in that I've had no response to material he said to send him. A leading progressive, who sees fundamental change as our only out and complains because the world won't read his book and take his idea for that seriously, gave me these responses when I pointed to our similar frustrations as a way to enroll him for the circles:
>> Please — I wonder if we are even on the same planet — metaphorically speaking. At any rate, don't write me about this any more, please. It is not going to achieve anything.
>>> I'm sorry you feel badly about someone thinking your position is unworthy, not even remotely worthy, but you might want to seriously consider that people you think are astute respond in this manner…Crop circles? Don't write me again about this matter…I don't have any time to give it. None.
>>>> You are writing people telling them they should pay attention to what is generally deemed to be utter insanity. Like little green men on the other side of the moon. Now let's be done with this.
Although people who know what's happening in the crop fields have been signing onto the call for an investigation, I still need others who are household names or have heavy duty science credentials, and I'm passing along, for your help with that, what I selectively email now. I've worked and reworked this to make it clear — and, as always, suggestions for even more improvements are welcome:
REQUEST FOR SIGNATURES
To get the world out of the mess it's in, a shift of consciousness is what we most need. We'll never solve the world problematique without it — as Einstein said, problems are not solvable at the level of consciousness that created them. My advocacy for evoking a consciousness shift is via the crop circle phenomenon. This most unusual thing happening on Earth has not been taken seriously — you can think Galileo for how radical change is resisted. Research that has been done, however, leads to the conclusion that a non-human agency is making these marks on Earth. Since we've never identified anything other than ourselves with the capacity to design there's no way to know the source, but we can study the footprints that source leaves. They show the phenomenon as a function of processes we can't perform, done by intelligences with design capacities that exceed virtually all people's talents. When this is introduced into the world's conversation, it won't go away and figures to open people's minds at a time when everyone is imploded in a small minded violent engagement.
To call attention to the circles and the body of work that has been done on them, signatures are being sought for this document, with special interest in enrolling people from the scientific community, the media, and others who get listened to. All it says is that the situation should be investigated — no one has to be a believer for that.
WHAT IF THEY’RE REAL?
A Call For an Investigation of Available Research on Crop Circles

which supports the value of the call it makes and gives information that
points to the authenticity of the phenomenon.]

If you haven't, please sign the call yourself. Also, especially take note of the “booklet” it links to that counters the prevailing understanding that people are responsible: Why Real Crop Circles Can't be Hoaxed.
