Thank you for all of your groundbreaking work. The synchronicity of the rabbit symbolism used by Downard is extremely timely and apropos in this Lunar Year of the Rabbit. Much appreciation.

This has been in the works for awhile, gorightly said it took so long because of the time consuming process involved in reading the microfiche and getting it over into print . It would be interesting to know if this book is based on the files that downwards daughter or a family member had that they where trying to sell but the price was too high and the files where thought lost. ,Think gorightly said he got the material from jim brandon who had it stored in his garage. Anyways its going to the top of my reading list for sure, thanks for the heads up!!

I continue to find great value in your articles and books,,,are you famailiar with Elana Freeland's four book set of "Sub Rosa America-A Deep State History? Pretty much matches in great detail what you detail in your books and especially in this article...hard to not have her been influenced by Downard and you!

I ordered book, thank you for sharing this information. I wish I could have met Mr. Downard. I also hope that the Cryptocracy will soon meet its end and influence here on this still very beautiful planet.

JFK wasn't assassinated for Israeli nuclear ambitions? Doesn't all this 'occult stagecraft' only muddy the waters?

Well i was scapegoat ritualed by modern mystery school and I am closest to a 7th day adventist than anything else. I know nothing except what the bible tells me so and life is rich and happy so who needs crazed bullshido? I simply refuse to be bamboozled by these people or the disembodied luciferians who apparently hang out on table mountain and tricked me, combined with an antismoking phama pill and some stuff coming loose from my childhood, allowed them access, it seens. I am not interested in anything else whatsoever except study of the word of God and all my various hobbies. They certainly wont mess with me again because I KNOW all about it and they seem to have a lot to be freaked out by constantly, and i dont care and thats a terrible glitch their matrix. All I have to say is BOO and off they scurry. I wish they would all fuck off to shamballah in their fancy adam kadmon bodies they paid for and leave everyone alone. This is their wish so lets hope it comes true soon but it wont. And its not just me anyway, im sure the stupid games are gonna be a crumbling in alot of young minds and i pray for the poor sods still caught up in it. It is all TRASH and I would absolutely never write about it becaise its so utterly stupid and boring. Absolutely trashy nonsense and totally unbiblical and Jesus promises nothing will stand between him and those who love him. Thank God I have managed to purge all of it from my mind and I'm hardly psychic anymore and the sky is almost blue and no longer shot with silver and gold kundalini beams so reality is almost back to normal. I definitely don't believe God works through the kundalini channels, sure he creates using sexual energy but that does not mean that is what he is. And im a 50 something happily single and not interested in sex becuase im too busy being a 50 something single woman past that stage as Paul happily said some sensible women would be, so I'm safe as houses. End of story and yes Jesus also said the queen of the south will have nothing more to do with any of that krap whatever that means so good riddance and it can't come soon enough.

Otherwise, I haven't read such goobligook here since blavatsky and elipjaz levi. Totally unreadable, nonsensical, irrelevant and boring. Not your best.

I can also recommend Mystical War, a brief overview of Downardian themes. Gorightly's prose has verve and brio, but his understanding of JSD's whole-brain thinking lags some way behind Mr Hoffman's unique insight.

Thank you for posting this review, Mr. Hoffman. As someone who has studied the extant material on JSB, I am grateful to you for bringing this to my attention.

You mention your maternal grandmother "wordlessly" teaching you how to construct an effigy. I do not know if you meant telepathically or through pantomine. Nevertheless, it does bring to mind a question I have wanted to ask you for many years. On p. 124 in Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare (2001), in an interview with Crash Collusion magazine, you were asked "How did you first become interested in the occult?"

You replied you had grown up in a reputed haunted house with eyes on paintings reportedly moving, trains of old fashion dresses gliding up the front stair case, pounding noises in the attic and a vivid memory of waking up to a pounding noise above you and the sensation of being choked.

My question, if you please, sir, is: When did these phenomena stop and how did you free yourself from it?

Thank you for your work.

Dear Willard (your name is of interest to me as noted in my book "Twilight Language")

To answer your questions:

My grandmother taught me that particular lesson through pantomime.

The haunted house was generally not a morbid one. It had character. We moved when I was 15 and I had resided there since age 2.

21 years later my wife and I purchased a century old Victorian ("Eastlake") style home that had been built by a man who, unbeknown to us, had dealings with Cora L.V. Hatch, a renowned 19th century medium during the heyday of Spiritualism in America. Whether he held seances in the house I do not know. In that house one evening our whole family while seated at supper in the dining room clearly heard footsteps on the servants' stairs (we didn't have servants, but the original owner did -- the house was more than 4500 square feet). I also heard voices in the ballroom around 3 a.m. There were a few other anomalies. We never felt threatened or "haunted."

I mention all this in the Fortean style, as a reporter of phenomena and not a believer. Who knows what is the true origin of perceptions like these --something in our minds perhaps that interact with an as yet undiscovered terrestrial or hydrologic force? We had good times in that house, though we chose to live there only for a few years before other horizons and opportunities beckoned. The house was located in NY on the 42nd degree of north parallel latitude, an area commonly referred to as the "Psychic Highway" or "Burned Over district." I have a good deal to say about that region in "Twilight Language."

One final thought: it's an "old wive's tale" that a baby born with a caul (an intact amniotic sac) over its face allegedly has second sight. Our youngest daughter was born with just such a caul. The midwife who delivered her had delivered about 900 babies (many hundreds in Africa), and said she had witnessed the intact caul only one or two other times in her work. Our daughter occasionally exhibits fairly remarkable insight and intuition, though I wouldn't employ the term "psychic" to describe her, or as a special category in general, in that I consider all humans to be naturally endowed with psychic ability to some degree, only many of us bury those abilities due to fear, societal conditioning or debilitating factors such as staring for hours at screens on cell phones and computers.
