Shulman spun a dark tale of intrigue, going so far to claim that Bell executive Jack Morton was murdered (and murdered quite horribly) because he was planning to blow the whistle on the extraterrestrial source of the new technology that was just beginning to seep into the mainstream of society.
Shulman also claimed that the germanium transistor that Bell premiered in 1948 was a decoy, and that the real breakthrough had come with a secret silicon transistor.
The old germanium transistors were in fact fragile, noisy and extremely difficult to work with. And despite what some may claim, the backstory on the transistor's development is filled with gaps, unexplained leaps and all kinds of other red flags leading one to believe that things are not quite what they seem. But the transistor was merely the cherry on top of a much larger cake.
Shulman began working the UFO circuit but soon claims of threats, break-ins and harassment began to emerge from his company, ACC.

CNI News reported:
Shortly thereafter, American Computer's corporate headquarters building was reportedly broken into by individuals who managed to circumvent many layers of electronic security, then searched highly sensitive files but did not steal anything of value. The break-in prompted an investigation by Air Force OSI (OSI's interest in the matter has not been explained)...
Undaunted, Shulman's site later published "The Alien Chronicles," claiming that:
It is risky for us at ACSA to be publishing it, though it is not the product of any work done by the ACSA... It is a story that took years to assemble. It is provided to the ACSA by a Special Reporter. It is not just about his one group's quest to find out the answer to an amazing question: "Are or have Aliens been visiting Earth, over what time period, and for what purpose?"
Note original Plan 9 from Bell Labs mascot on left
The site recounted the Bell Labs story, claiming further harassment:
During the course of the affair, employees of: Motorola, Lucent, AT+T, IBM, Dell, and others confronted ACC as if the story had struck a nerve with these Rockefeller-connected companies.
More than one took drastic measures to interfere with ACC, including a supremacist who impersonated the company president ...a militia affiliated photographer who broadcast intentionally malicious ideologies and attacks on ACC's CEO ...a Libyan national who visited ACC's headquarters with intent to assassinate senior personnel, a team who broke into and searched ACC's facilities...a top secret rated facsimile transmission that was sent to the company fax† and other such incidents.
Subsequently, after 3.5 years of constant 24 hour a day harassment from all sides, ACC left the PC business under fire from these billionaires and their giant technology concerns...
Several years later this disclaimer was added to Shulman's website:
ACSA NOTE: This unusual, satiric story first appeared on the American Computer Company Website in 1996. While clearly a tongue in cheek satire, for some members of the general public this story was taken as real and unchallengeable proof of Alien visitation and allegations of back engineered technologies.
Yeah, that line about the germanium and the rectifier diode was a real knee-slapper. I'm still giggling about the gag about Jack Morton being incinerated in his car by Bell's hired thugs. What a kidder.
No, the fact is that none of this reads like satire. Neither did the original ACC Roswell story, or his very inside-baseball speech at the Global Sciences Congress or any of the long, detailed interviews Shulman gave at the time, which you can still read online.
So let's break this down:
BUILDING THE BEAST
So let's break this down:
• A longtime industry insider emerges, makes serious allegations in a number of different venues.
• Trouble apparently follows and he disappears, claiming harassment from some very powerful people (people whom he suggested are capable of murder, incidentally).
• Then several years later, a period in which we get no further updates but one in which his stories continue to circulate, this brief disclaimer shows up on the site.I can't speak to the ultimate veracity of his claims but if Shulman wanted to give the impression he was bullied into silence, he did a pretty good job of it. Perhaps someone reminded him what happened to Jack Morton.
.
BUILDING THE BEAST
Now, we've talked about the transistor, what about the circuit board, another of the building blocks of our brave new world?
Although, again, there had been crude progenitors (using big, hot vacuum tubes), the printed, prefabricated circuit board as we know it today was developed by the US Army Signal Corps (who drew down the Moon with Project Diana in January 1946), a fascinating connection, if ever there was one.
Why did Uncle Sam decide to keep this one in-house? Maybe there were greater implications involved.
The next stage in the evolution of the Electronic Beast -- the Microchip, or integrated circuit-- would bring us back on familiar territory:
Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor developed his own idea of an integrated circuit that solved many practical problems (inventor Jack) Kilby's had not. Noyce's design was made of silicon, whereas Kilby's chip was made of germanium.
Silicon vs. germanium again. Huh.
I guess it makes sense since the company that would become Fairchild was started by none other than William Shockley, after he left Bell Labs.
Started, but not continued:
While Shockley was effective as a recruiter, he was less effective as a manager. A core group of Shockley employees, later known as the traitorous eight, became unhappy with his management of the company.
This group would form the core of Fairchild Semiconductor. And what exactly did Shulman say about Shockley again?
Indeed, Shockley was a controversial figure, even at Bell Labs. He infuriated his colleagues by taking sole credit for the transistor, was a terrible manager at his own shop and was politically tone-deaf (Shockley became an outspoken eugenics campaigner in the 1980s, advocating that anyone with an IQ under 100 should be involuntarily sterilized).
How did such a man come to be so powerful and influential, when he seemed to be the least accomplished of his group? (one of his team members, John Bardeen, was far more accomplished, eventually winning two Nobel Prizes)
What kind of deals did Shockley make behind closed doors? And with whom?
Jack Morton passed on the microchip project, and expressed deep skepticism as to its commercial potential. Was this just short-sightedness or a man being kept out of the loop on a sensitive technology?
Or did he in fact recognize the potential and fear it? Did he see a subtle kind of invasion taking place, using all of this technology he knew had a dubious origin?
We'll never know but I will point out that millions of people regard the microchip as the Mark of the Beast prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Take that for whatever it's worth.
THE GRAIL
Shulman said Bell Labs was "the Holy Grail." He wasn't kidding.

Bell Labs invoking the Gods
THE GRAIL
Shulman said Bell Labs was "the Holy Grail." He wasn't kidding.
Not only did they give us the transistor but filed patents on several of the first lasers, launched the first communications satellite, pioneered computer graphics and animation software, created UNIX, creating the infrastructure for wirelesss services and the Internet and on and on and on and on. And that was just during the 1960s.
From its inception, Bell Labs was the crown jewel of the Golden Age of American Technology, filled with some of history's greatest scientists and engineers.
But Bell were also deeply embedded into the Cryptocracy. And their breakthroughs often seemed a bit too ...sudden, is the word I'm looking for? Yes, that will do.
And during the 1940s, Bell got right in bed with the US Military:

And during the 1940s, Bell got right in bed with the US Military:
Project Nike was a U.S. Army project, proposed in May 1945 by Bell Laboratories, to develop a line-of-sight anti-aircraft missile system. The project delivered the United States' first operational anti-aircraft missile system, the Nike Ajax, in 1953.
Nike was a fascinating program in that it invoked gods like Hermes, Zeus and Hera as well as Nike and Hercules.
Nike would also put Bell Labs right inside Roswell AAFB (then called Walker AFB) in 1960..
And you know that old line about UFOs coming around because the kids were playing with the matches? Well, remember that Roswell AAFB was involved in the Crossroads testing in 1946. And that Bell Labs was part of the AT&T network.
Well, guess who else was? Sandia National Laboratories: "Their primary mission is to develop, engineer, and test the non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons. The primary campus is located on Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico..."

New Mexico again; the "Land of Enchantment," indeed.
Sandia Laboratory was operated by the University of California until 1949, when (President Truman asked) American Telephone and Telegraph to assume the operation as an "opportunity to render an exceptional service in the national interest." (AT&T) managed and operated the laboratory until October 1993.
Uncle Sam seemed to put an awful lot of trust in Ma Bell, didn't he? By the way, Shulman made reference to this fact in his GCC speech as well.
IMPOSSIBLE YET TRUE
The provenance of the laser is equally...interesting. The first breakthrough theories came in 1951 through a formal Naval officer (a Lt. Commander, the equivalent of Corso) named Joseph Weber, who later found himself mired in controversy over his work on gravitational waves.
Which, as it happens, has now been confirmed, 40 years later.
Weber's laser work was in turn picked up by a Columbia professor named Charles Towne, who got to work on it with graduate students on what was then called the precursor technology called the maser, which like 'laser' is an acronym.
But just like we saw with the transistor, the Best and the Brightest thought masers were impossible:
Townes reports that several eminent physicists—among them Niels Bohr, John von Neumann, and Llewellyn Thomas—argued the maser violated Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and hence could not work. Others such as Isidor Rabi and Polykarp Kusch expected that it would be impractical and not worth the effort.
Those are the heaviest of hitters there. But the maser did work.
And guess where Townes ends up? At Bell Labs, of course!
And guess where Townes ends up? At Bell Labs, of course!
Where he patents the first maser prototype in 1958. The first working laser would be developed at Hughes (parapolitics buffs know it doesn't get more secret government than Hughesº), but Bell would hold patents on several laser firsts themselves...
Throughout this entire series, I haven't been able to shake a very strange thought out of my head: what if Roswell was expected?
.
THE ROSWELL RITUAL
Or in fact orchestrated?
What if Roswell were neither an accident, nor a weather balloon, nor a disinfo op, but in fact part of a ritual that began more than a year before, specifically with Project Diana, the first contact with a celestial body from Earth?
In the ancient Egyptian festival calendar, the day of the alleged crash, July 2, was the day that "The Wadjet Eye Has Returned Complete." The Wadjet Eye being the Egyptian term for the Eye of Horus, also known as the "Demon Star" Algol, in Perseus.
In Aleister Crowley's notorious Book of the Law or Liber AL Vegis, we read the following in the third chapter, in which the god Ra-Hoor-Khuit speaks:

In Aleister Crowley's notorious Book of the Law or Liber AL Vegis, we read the following in the third chapter, in which the god Ra-Hoor-Khuit speaks:
7. I will give you a war engine.
8. With it you shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.
9. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of Conquest: thus shall my worship be about my secret house.
Crowley's secretary Kenneth Grant would later write of Jack Parsons' Babalon Working as the initiation point to the flying saucer wave of the 40s and 50s.
"The [Babalon] Working began in 1945-46, a few months before Crowley's death in 1947, and just prior to the wave of unexplained aerial phenomena now recalled as the 'Great Flying Saucer Flap'...Parsons opened a door and something flew in."
The Babalon Working coincided with Project Diana. In fact, Diana took place on the day of the "nine knocks" that Parsons recorded in his journal (in the next post, we'll learn of another Babalon "coincidence").
In addition to the concurrent phenomenon of the ghost rockets in Scandinavia, Naval Intelligence Officer Marjorie Cameron claimed to witness a UFO at Parsons' home at the conclusion of the Working:
In March of 1946, Marjorie Cameron witnessed a flying saucer hovering over the Parsonage; Writing about the incident to Jane Wolfe in 1953, Cameron associated the craft with the "war engines" promised in Crowley's Book of the Law: "The flying saucers - the miracle! - our war engine! I saw the first one in the spring of 1946..."
Given this chain of events and symbolism, is it any surprise then that history's most notorious UFO event took place in the middle of the month (Mesore) the Egyptians named for the same god who had apparently prophesied this war engine?
.
.
Or that as many have noted, the supposed beings recovered from the crashed "war engine" at Roswell resembled the being Crowley claimed to have contacted in 1918?
Indeed, if what either Corso or Shulman claimed was true, the recovered craft did indeed turn out to be quite a war engine, producing all kinds of technologies just itching to be weaponized.
But who, ultimately, was the target?
And what exactly is the war engine of Horus? I mean, is there any record of such a thing in the literature?

When Ra reigned as king over Egypt he sailed up the Nile towards Nubia, because his enemies were plotting against him. At Edfu Horus entered the bark of the great god and hailed him as father. Ra greeted the hawk god and entreated him to slay the rebels of Nubia.
Then Horus flew up to the sun as a great winged disk, and he was afterwards called "the great god, the lord of the sky." He perceived the enemies of Ra, and went against them as a winged disk.
Oh. It's, um, a flying disk.
OK.
Remember that the 509th Bomber Group - stationed at Roswell AAFB - took part in Operation Crossroads, whose very name called up deals with dark forces. Add to this the Signal Corps' Project Diana and you have an unimaginably powerful invocation to Hekate, the 'Diana of the Underworld', Witch-Queen of the Crossroads.
What if "signals" were being sent into the Heavens, starting with Project Diana (the first attempt to probe another celestial body) and continuing with Operation Crossroads, which tore at the fabric of reality itself?

Crazy, right?
But what if the "Heavens" responded long before the alleged "crash?" What if Roswell were indeed a "smokescreen?"
Before you answer, be aware that we've just scratched the surface of the Bell Labs story here.

If you can be bothered, people are still poring over the disinformation the Army Air Force "leaked" over the supposed Roswell crash here.
. .
There's a "new" photo that looks like the same old junk, a kite or a balloon or whatever. And there's an ongoing analysis of the memo General Ramey was flashing for reporters (and was surely disappointed no one deciphered).
There's a debate whether a word is "viewing" or "victims" but the resolution is so poor it all depends on your bias. I can't tell either way. It looks like a "m" to me but the alleged "w" looks like a "g."
None of this explains the aftermath of the event, or the "missing" base files, which is the real Roswell smoking gun (we'll get to those). But again, I don't think an alien craft actually crashed there nor do I believe an entire Army Air Force base went into siege over a downed spy balloon, the existence of which was not actually secret.
I do believe this was all some kind of ritual, meant to create a convenient cover story for something that happened at least several months before. The symbols- and the coordinates- speak for themselves.
Not to mention the endless psyops.
