From Dr. Jean Francois Gille, who moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico from France,
     comes a translation of a French document that exposes the relationship between
     several factors in the matrix of world affairs. The article, titled - 'PINE GAP BASE:
     WORLD CONTEXT', was written by Lucien Cometta and later translated into English
     by Dr. John Gille:

          "In order to understand the case of the Pine Gap US base (near Alice
          Springs, Australia) better, I feel compelled to give some explanations
          beforehand. I hope these explanations will help to increase the general
          awareness of the extraordinary importance that facility has for mankind as
          a whole. "The majority of people, all over the world, are not lingering in
          doubt as to whether UFOs and ETs are real. They know they are real.
          Here in early 1989, no one questions their existence. The case for UFOs
          and ETs aroused passions, controversies and grandstanding for many
          years. Some of it has not been quite rational. The matter being relatively
          settled, public opinions should cool down. It is with a serene and clear
          mind that we ought to be thinking of our future relationship with the
          peoples from space. However, the public mind is not at peace. It vaguely
          feels that the governments are hiding "something real big", and it wonders
          where our leaders are going to lead mankind.

          "During the process of research and study of UFOs and aliens,
          researchers who do not take the explanations of the scientific
          establishment at face value have discovered unsettling facts; these facts
          have started the lifting off (of) the lid of the coverup. The value and
          prestige of their sources of information do not leave any doubt about the
          truthfulness of these reports; the main outlines are summarized below.

     PINE GAP

     "The United States has three major bases in Australia. One is in South Australia
     (Nurranger, near Woomera, T.N.), another in New South Wales, and the third (and by
     far the largest) is located within about 230 km (143 miles) of the geographical center of
     the continent, not far to the west of Alice Springs (Northern Territory), at the foothills
     of the southern slopes of the MacDonnell Range. This base is completely underground,
     with barely visible entrances to the surface.

     "This 'Top Secret' base is entirely financed by the United States Government, and is
     officially known as the Joint Defense Space Research Facility.

     "When the JDSRF was first initiated, its aim was scientific research for the supposed
     development of a space defense technology. It is now known that since its inception, its
     primary purpose was research into electromagnetic propulsion.

     "What exactly is Pine Gap? As strange as it may seem, even Australian Federal
     Parliament members do not know. Among the Cabinet members, only a small number
     of 'initiates' have a vague idea of what this is all about. The only information source
     available to the public is the cross-checking done by private researchers such as Jimmy
     Guieu, following statements made by the United States or Australian magazines
     (always very short and terse paragraphs), and anything the locals may notice.

     "It is said that under Pine Gap is the deepest drilling hole in Australia - about 5 miles
     (more than 8,000 meters). Such a hole is likely used as an underground antenna able to
     recharge the batteries of submarines in the Pacific and Indian Ocean through ELF
     broadcasts. Such a gigantic antenna could be used to generate the gigantic stationary
     wave around the Earth.

     "Some say that Pine Gap has an enormous nuclear generator to supply energy to a new
     type of transceiver. It seems too that there is a high-powered, high-voltage plasma
     accelerator which may be put to use to transmit electric current, or even to produce a
     'death-ray', or quite simply to feed a plasma gun. All this is not as incredible as it
     sounds: it is now known that the US base of West Cape, near Exmouth Gulf in
     Western Australia (Harold E. Holt USN Communication Station), has an older type of
     the transceiver used at Pine Gap which is used to send electric current to submerged
     US submarines who trail a wire antenna. It is known that electric currents transmitted in
     this way are referred to as plasmo-dynamic cells.

     "Several times, locals have seen WHITE DISKS about 30' in diameter in the process
     of being unloaded from large US cargo planes at the airports serving Pine Gap. Those
     disks had the USAF emblem on them. It seems likely that disks are assembled and
     based at Pine Gap. The number of disks seen at night leaves no doubt in anyones mind.
     An amazing quantity of furniture has been delivered by plane from the United States.
     The locals also say that an enormous amount of food is stocked in warehouses of what
     could well be a true multi-leveled underground city.

     "On the other hand, Pine Gap is well known as one of the most important control
     centers for spy satellites which circle the globe. An article published in late 1973
     claimed that the Pine Gap installation, along with its sister installation in Guam, were
     used to control the photographic missions of the large American satellites in orbit above
     the Earth.

     "Pine Gap has enormous computers which are connected to their American and
     Australian central counterparts, which collect all the information secured in these
     countries, not only about finance and technology, but on every aspect of the life of the
     average citizen. Those computers at Pine Gap are also evidently connected to similar
     mainframes in Guam, in Krugersdorp South Africa, and at the Amundsen-Scott US
     base at the South Pole.

     "Let us say, incidently, that the employees (more than 1200) of the US base in South
     Africa all claim to be members of the US consular mission in that country. It may be
     worthy of note that the Amundsen-Scott base at the South Pole is located on a
     sensitive magnetic spot of our planet, that it holds exactly the same assets as Pine Gap,
     and that all the information about most of the average citizens of Western Europe is
     stored there in memory banks tens of meters under the icepack.

     "A statement made by the Australian premier about 1987, assuring that 'France must
     disappear from the Pacific, from the Kerguelen Ridge, and from Antarctica' sheds light
     on the importance of this polar base for the Anglo-Saxon world.

     "The most disquieting fact about Pine Gap may be that the employees working on the
     base, and especially those earmarked for duty on electromagnetic propulsion projects,
     have undergone brainwashing and even implantation of intracranial devices. Those
     employees have turned into unconditional slaves of their master, whoever he is. Rather
     scary, isn't it?

     "The true point of the brainwashing of those individuals, along with the ruthless attempts
     to implement the coverup of really advanced military technology, will become clear at
     the end of this article.

     "For me, it all began with the construction of the new Parliament building in Canberra,
     which cost billions of dollars. Australia has only 18 million inhabitants, yet it apparently
     treated itself to a building far beyond its means...supposedly to accommodate its
     government even if the old Parliament building was perfectly fine.

     "This new building, enormous, immense and magnificent would easily fit the needs of
     the USSR or of the United States, which both have hundreds of millions of citizens to
     rule. That building puzzled me, and I started to talk about it until the day I bumped into
     an Englishman who told me that the Australian premier, Bob Hawk, was a Rhodes
     scholar, and as such he worked toward the setting up of a One World Government,
     and that this new Parliament building likely had something to do with it.

     "Sometime after, I stumbled on a pamphlet published by the Human Rights
     Organization, which talked about a group of about a hundred people well-placed in
     high finance, politics, the judiciary branch and big business. This group was called the
     'Club of ROME'. According to this pamphlet, the CLUB OF ROME was pledged to a
     consortium which controls all international finance. A number of other groups similar to
     the CLUB OF ROME are equally pledged to that finance consortium, AND ARE
     INFILTRATING THE VARIOUS POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS GROUPS
     WITH THE INTENTION TO MAKE PROGRESS TOWARD THE
     INSTITUTION OF A WORLD DICTATORSHIP.

     "The whole thing looked a little bit too preposterous to be true, it seemed to me.
     Nevertheless, a friend of mine gave me an audio cassette taped at a lecture given by
     Peter Sawyer, a former high-ranking Australian civil servant, which exposed a certain
     number of facts he had noticed while in office. He talked, in particular, of a telephone
     exchange in Canberra called 'Deacon Center'. This exchange, built in concrete with 4
     (ft. ? - Branton) thick walls, cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It is outfitted with
     numerous computers, arrayed on four levels. When he tried to find out why such
     equipment was needed in a country of only 18 million, he discovered that those
     computers were connected to all the banks, to every post office, to all telephones, and
     to all of the police stations and customs houses; to every arrival and departure desk for
     air or sea travellers; and also and above all, to the other data centers collecting data on
     private citizens... in the United States as well as in Europe.

     "That facility on Deacon street is therefore a Center where all the data pertaining to
     every citizen of the Western World end up being stored. All financial, economic,
     political and military information, as well as the information on every inhabitant of those
     countries. As a matter of course, all people living in Australia are put on file, kept up
     with and labelled.

     "Peter Sawyer discovered also that the president of the ROCKEFELLER
     FOUNDATION came for a lengthy stay in Australia to supervise in person the
     construction of 20 luxury residences in Canberra (the Australian government footed the
     bill), in the wonderful setting of a National Park, where, legally, nobody is allowed to
     build.

     "The investigations lead by Sawyer exposed, first, that the new Parliament building is
     meant to accommodate the world government-to-be; and, second, that the 20 luxury
     residences will be allocated to the different foreign members of that government... Why
     choose Canberra as the headquarters of the new world government? Simply because
     Australia is a peaceful country, with very few natives likely to turn rebellious, and,
     above all, it's an English speaking country. No other English speaking country can offer
     the safety Australia will provide at the time of the taking over by the World
     Government. In America and Europe, uprisings are more than likely, and South
     America not only is not English-speaking, but its fondness for revolutions and social
     disturbances is well known.

     "Australia is thus the ideal place for such an undertaking. How is the advent of a World
     Government possible in the near future? It is relatively easy, as we will explain.

     "First, who are those 'internationalists' who want to take over the planet? THE ONES
     WHO WANT TO SET UP A WORLD GOVERNMENT ARE 15 FAMILIES OR
     SO, WHO ALREADY GOVERN ALL OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCE AND
     KEEP A TIGHT LEASH ON MOST GOVERNMENTS THROUGH THE
     ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF THEIR FINANCES AND THEIR DOMESTIC
     ECONOMY. These finance moguls devised their plan after World War I, and have
     been working since on an insidious undermining process aimed at economic
     destabilization all over the West.

     "If those financiers are obviously labeled 'capitalists', it is a very deceptive label, though,
     for, in fact, they never stopped to pull the strings of the progressive parties, as well as
     those of the conservative parties. Their idea is logical, and lay, quite simply, in the
     destabilization of the countries of the West on the political, economic and religious
     levels. IT MAY BE SURPRISING TO SOME THAT THESE 'INNOVATORS'
     HAD INFILTRATED THE TOP LEVELS OF THE MAIN RELIGIOUS
     ESTABLISHMENTS, ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF YEARS WAS NEEDED
     TO MAKE THEM VIRTUALLY POWERLESS... (Were these establishments
     'bought out' through financial contributions? - Branton)

     "Economic destabilization is implemented through a slower but most efficient process.
     This process (already under way) will cause the entire financial system of the West to
     collapse. The people involved are the same people who cause the price of oil to go up
     and then, after convincing European neighbors to agree to these price rises, provide
     that the yield coming from the price rises will be paid to the 'International Reserve
     Bank', which is entirely at their command. The Reserve Bank hands the money over to
     a 'holding bank' who lavishly loans the money to Third World countries for usurious
     rates of interest.

     "The holding bank receives the interest paid by the underdeveloped countries, then puts
     it into another 'holding bank' which, in turn, invests the huge quantity of money on
     behalf of the Arabs.

     "Those investments are made into thriving large businesses. In the meantime, only small
     interests are sent to Arab countries.

     "Those who engineered the plan were perfectly aware that the leaders of the
     underdeveloped countries would be tempted to pocket a good part of the received
     money.

     "I IRB will then tell the Arab countries that the holding bank investments have turned
     out badly, all their assets had vanished and that no interest will be paid any more. The
     Arab countries will then have no choice but to put all the securities they own on the
     market, as well as quite an amount of property bought by the second holding bank. A
     good part of these possessions will then be frozen, because they will have been bought
     with the aid of not entirely repaid loans, and they will be part of the assets of the first
     holding bank, gone bankrupt. The incredible quantity of shares put on the market at the
     same time will cause a stock market crash of such magnitude that all the national
     economies of the West will collapse at the same time.

     "The planet will find itself in a desperate predicament. Cash will not be worth a damn,
     and the risks of a global confrontation (planned!) will be high.
 

     ENTER PINE GAP

     "At this point, the usefulness of bases like Pine Gap will become obvious. If a Global
     confrontation is going to break out, those bases will serve as a place of safety for the
     politicians and their staff, as well as the international financiers, their family and friends.

     "If no confrontation breaks out, the financiers will adapt a 'saintly' attitude AND
     OFFER SUBSTITUTION OF ALL CURRENCIES BY PLASTIC CARDS,
     ENSURING 'TRUE EQUALITY' FOR ALL; THE ABOLITION OF ALL
     OWNERSHIP RIGHTS; and the setting up of a World Government that will 'ensure
     peace'.

     "The masses (consciousness as a group) will be convinced that it is necessary to ensure
     Peace and Social Justice by any means, including force. THE POTENTIAL
     ACHIEVED THROUGH THE EQUIPMENT OF THE UNDERGROUND BASES
     WILL MAKE POSSIBLE THE DISAPPEARANCE WITHOUT A TRACE OF
     THOSE WHO DO NOT CONFORM AND THOSE WHO 'HINDER THE
     HAPPINESS OF THE PEOPLE'. Also, it will ensure the swift crushing of any
     possible uprising. IT MAY ALSO HAPPEN THAT OUR NEW 'MASTERS' WILL
     END UP TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE THE ALIENS' SUPPORT,
     AND THAT WE (ARE) AT THE 'EVE OF THE MILLENNIUM, A GOLDEN
     AGE'...... IT WILL BE THE WORST DICTATORSHIP EVER KNOWN TO
     MANKIND.

     "......IT IS QUITE CERTAIN THAT OTHER BASES HAVE BEEN BUILT IN
     THE UNITED STATES AND ELSEWHERE IN THE NORTHERN
     HEMISPHERE. IT MAY EVEN BE THAT THE US BASES OCCUPIED BY THE
     GREYS, IN THE US MAINLAND, ARE OF THE SAME TYPE. ONE RUMOR
     HOLDS THAT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GREYS IS FOUND IN EACH
     OF THE UNDERGROUND US BASES IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

     "None of the above has anything to do with science fiction. All of what I said in this text
     is true, and doesn't give a very rosy picture of the future."

     POST NOTE:

     As I was re-reading this article, it reminded me of an experience I had while in Sydney.
     Now I know that some of you will probably say it is ridiculous but if you are going to
     unravel the mystery of UFOs, you must be open to all reports and experiences,
     including those based on using one's own psychic or inner sensitivities, so here goes ....

     One night I was gazing at the sky from the balcony of our friend who offered his
     apartment for us to stay in while we were in Sydney. This was in Bondi Beach, so you
     could see the ocean from this view. It was probably late November (1995). I sense an
     incredible energy throughout the sky and saw a number of the UFO type clouds
     (clouds that feel alive and look like UFOs, with a different texture than normal clouds)
     in the sky. I mean, it felt like the sky was full of ships hiding within the clouds. On my
     body I felt surrounded by a strong energy or force and I projected myself into the
     clouds and again felt a strange energy that didn't seem normal. This experience was my
     own personal experience that indeed in Australia is a strong UFO force ... I also
     received confirmation from friends and new associates, who were doing their own
     UFO explorations that every time of UFO related event being reported in the U.S.
     (abductions, cattle multilations, sightings ... etc) was also happening in Australia.
