Whenever I do my monthly order from my book distributor I try to make a point of ordering one book from their "Lightning Source" section. These are basically print on demand books, self published or from very small publishers, stuff that’s under the radar of most bookstores and the book world at large – you’ll never see them for sale at chain bookstores, or reviewed in newspapers or even available from a library. They’re underground ephemera, here one day and gone the next, often leaving very little evidence of their existence. Some of the authors, of course, ape the bestsellers, hoping to somehow bust into the ranks of the professionals, and there’s a lot of autobiographies, self- help books and Christian whatevers, but there are always a few that are printed because the writer really, really felt they had something to say and refused to consider editor or even reader. They’re the loonies who used to pass out crudely printed pamphlets or even stand around with hand lettered cardboard signs, but now, thanks to modern technology they are able, with the aid of a few thousand bucks or a similarly attuned publisher, to produce something that pretty much resembles a real, live book. Here’s the author/publisher supplied description of one I reluctantly passed on:

An "Einstein" Thought Experiment: Rationality & Morality Waves in Nature

by William W. Morgan

Most people are aware there are many "waves" in nature. Light waves, gravity waves, etc. What no one seems to have recognized is that when there is a thinking specie taking action there will also be rationality and morality waves. Further, that if these waves are of a negative nature they will cause chaos in society. That this is in fact what causes the chaos in our society. This book describes how it happens. Why it happens. And gives some ideas about what we can do to first slow and then eliminate these "negative morality waves" that are having an effect on the viability of our specie.

The one I did pick, however, didn’t disappoint:

by Matthew Delooze

1965, Burnley, north-west England. Matthew Delooze was 6 years old. He was out playing, climbing over a wall when a bird caught his attention. Suddenly he found himself on a spacecraft talking to a beautiful woman. She told him that he had agreed to help save the world and when he objected that he was only a little boy, she told him, "You will be wiser when you’re older" She showed him horrific vivid images of earth’s future on a large screen, floods and destruction, dead bodies of children and old people. People burning in fires and then people being shot and blown up, starving children and animals being butchered. He was then returned to earth. This was just the beginning. This is Matthew’s story in his own words.

I am very interested in Alien Abduction accounts, and not just for laughs as it seems to be a fairly widespread phenomena. Delooze’s account is pretty typical in many respects, it’s efficacy strengthened by his apparently authentic straightforward English working bloke persona. There are familiar abductee elements in the experiences he describes — the beautiful, friendly female figure, the nasty reptilians, the body cavity probing, the extraction of precious bodily fluids, the feelings of immobility and helplessness, and the projection of a vision of future ecological disaster. Interestingly these warnings have been a constant in reported alien/human interactions for decades, long before their details became so familiar as what we now know as global warming.

As the renowned author of the terminally unpublished Snakes in Caves which has quite a bit about the esoteric/paranoiac significance of reptiles, I was also interested to read of Delooze’s theories about the perpetrators and significance of the abductions:

The general belief of most UFO or abduction researchers is that we are being abducted to breed with bug-eyed Greys or Reptilian beings (some are even lucky enough to breed with blond haired beauties). The same belief has been around for decades. In my opinion, the Serpent Kingdom do not want to breed with us – they want to control us and feed off us. The hybrid programme theory may be just a red herring created by the Serpent Cult. The Serpent Cult are "agents" on earth for the Serpent Kingdom.

Many abductees have noted the aliens’ lack of emotions and their seeming envy of our ability to feel them so deeply. Delooze rejects the popular "breeding experiment" hypothesis – he thinks that rather than our jizz the aliens want to simply control us like sheep and feed off our feelings. In his view abductees are not chosen for their experimental or genetic value but rather in order to correct the rebellious instincts which might cause them to threaten the Serpent’s sheepdogs’ (church, state, bosses) control of the herd. How the aliens were able to detect this contrarian streak in Delooze at age six, the time of his original abduction, is not explored, and in general he eschews the usual occult patina of erudition for simple statements of what he’s experienced and what he believes.

Naturally, I wanted to pick up his more theoretical work The Stars are Falling: Reasons to Believe We are Enslaved by the Serpent , and less than a week after I’d gotten "You Will be Wiser When You’re Older", I searched my distributors online database for it, but came up with nothing, not even under the heading of Matthew Delooze. The book I’d just been shipped was not there by title either, and in fact it was only when I searched by ISBN that I located the entry, now tagged simply Not Available From Ingram, when in fact it had been shipped to me by them only a few days before. Paranoia alert! The Serpent Cult strikes? But then I went to the publisher’s website http://experiencers.net to see the message: We no longer carry Matthew Delooze’s books and articles. If you are interested, please visit his blog. Although said blog http://matthew-delooze.blogspot.com is quite entertaining and has thus been entered in the coveted RADIOFREEUBU Suggested Destinations in Cyberspace guide to the right of this page, it failed to enlighten as to the reasons for the books quick withdrawal and the sudden rupture between author and publisher. It did reveal a certain paranoid (but maybe they ARE out to get him) and pugnacious streak, however, and perhaps that explains things. You can still get the book, however, at Amazon (four left at this writing, although I’m not sure that, as they claim, more are on the way) and his English publisher seems to be keeping the faith.

Like many of my encounters with the "paranormal," I’m not sure what it all means, but it’s fun while it lasts!
