FIGU Bulletin No. 10 FIGU-BULLETIN Nr. 10 Volume 3 German printing: February 1997 English publishing: July 1998 The responsibility for all forms of publication (e.g. Internet, print etc.) of the FIGU Bulletin lies entirely on "Billy" Eduard A. Meier. Falsified UFO photographs by Herbert Runkel, Bernd Johann, and Thomas Klingler Photo 1) Forged UFO photograph with a purported Andromeda spaceship/energy craft. In the foreground, on the hood of the car, are Herbert Runkel (right) and Thomas Klingler (left). Photo 2) Forged UFO photograph with a purported Andromeda spaceship/energy craft. Leaning against the car is Bernd Johann. With these truthful explanations and statements, I trust that all written, telephone and personal inquiries regarding this matter have been addressed so I can finally close this subject. However, in the event that actions by my ex-wife, Herbert Runkel, Bernd Johann, and Thomas Klingler, require further clarification and evidence, particularly in regard to "P." and Herbert Runkel, I will do so, of course, in order to keep interested parties informed of other pertinent and rather ugly background details. Billy As many people are aware, the schemer Kal K. Korff, is also busily assembling his defamations against me; indeed, even on the Internet the waves are rising, and some busy hands and minds are at work at American UFO Magazine as well. And yet, some contributors to the magazine do not walk hand-in-hand with Korff, as demonstrated in UFO Magazine, Vol. 11, No. 5, 1996: MEIERS´S KINGDOM VS. KORFF Editor: I do not fully agree with George Earley's glowing review of Kal Korff's book Spaceships of the Pleiades: The Billy Meier Story (Vol. 11, No. 2). From my point of view, this book is far from "meticulous" and "highly readable." I do not have a vested financial interest in Meier's claims nor have I ever taken Meier's tall tales seriously. What I do have, though, is a little more knowledge about Meier than the average UFO Magazine reader. I became interested in Meier in the early 1980s and bought the two photo journals (first editions) and the videotape of Meier's films. I also bought Korff's original 1981 mimeographed pamphlet "THE MEIER INCIDENT--THE MOST INFAMOUS HOAX IN UFOLOGY!", which was delivered to my hands by his "editorial assistant," William Moore. I cannot list here all the inconsistencies I found (at least 50) in Korff's latest attempt, but here are a couple of the most aggravating ones: (1) On page 330 Korff adamantly sustains his erroneous assumption that Meier's 35mm camera is a single lens reflex. Once and for all, Korff, it is a rangefinder; (2) On page 110 Korff says ". there are no original photographic negatives or source materials of any of Meier's UFO pictures in existence." So, how does Meier reproduce those that he sells and of which Korff bought a few? Korff's book is not worthy of Earley's review. However, to be fair, credit must be given to Korff for his endeavor, faulty as it is. I wish Korff had not brushed off Meier's movie film, for that should've been a major part of his book. As far as I'm concerned, Meier's movie film looks good enough to convince anyone that UFOs exist and a brush-off is not responsible reporting. Edward Lopez New York, NY QUESTIONS FROM OUR READERS Question 1. How are your telepathic contact conversations transmitted? Th. Hubaleck/Czech Republic Response: The method by which contact conversations are transmitted has remained the same from the very beginning, and this is how it works: As soon as these contact conversations actually begin to take place they always have been, and continue to be, directly transmitted through the consciousness of the Pleiadian/Plejaran contact person to some highly sensitive technological devices on board their beamship/spacecraft, where everything is stored. These on-board devices transform the conversations into symbolic images of a spiritual-telepathic nature whereupon they are immediately transmitted to a stationary control capsule high above the Earth's orbit, where they are stored. Therefore, not a single word nor the meaning of the conversation is lost. When I am ready to recall the contact conversation, I use a spirit-telepathic code word to activate the storage device within the control capsule some minutes, hours or often days or weeks later, whereupon the stored conversations are transmitted to me in spirit- telepathic symbols. These symbols are assimilated within my spirit's consciousness and are then conveyed to my material consciousness, where I transform the spirit-telepathic symbols into words and sentences with which I am familiar. While the wording and sentence structure may, inevitably, no longer be identical to the ones actually used during the conversation, they are, nonetheless, 100% guaranteed to represent the exact connotation, value, and the meaning of the words and sentences in the original conversation—although what I may jot down later is no longer precisely the same wording. Because I have to transform the symbolic images once again back into words and sentences, the illusion is created that practically everything I write down is stored in my own particular type of language and wording. Still, the final printed information represents the identical meaning of the spoken and transmitted words. This process may be compared to a translation from one language to another, whereby the translator's written and spoken style come through. Consequently, you can spot my own vernacular in sentences or similar forms of conversation reproductions. Sometimes, however, I am able to recite ad verbatim certain expressions and word creations I receive from my contact person as long as I can still remember them from our conversation. I can only access stored conversations from the control capsule once; from then onward the conversation becomes irretrievable for me because it is then stored elsewhere, in a place that is inaccessible to me. But the main thing is that all contact conversations remain in the storage device, which is available to me until I access it and jot down the entire text. The transmission rate coincides with my typing speed which, before my collapse in 1982, was 1200 characters per minute with one hand. In order for me to have typed at this speed, it was necessary for Quetzal to modify my typewriter to make it operate faster and more efficiently. Question 2. What do the Pleiadians, respectively Plejarans, and you think of genetic engineering? Eugen Huber, Switzerland Response: I am convinced that the Pleiadians'/Plejarans' opinion is correct when they say that the time is ripe for us terrestrials to fulfill requirements for our evolution, including the genetic factor. Genetic technology, i.e., gene engineering and manipulation, is an inevitable, unstoppable development process that exists among every highly evolved civilization throughout the entire universe. Hence, even terrestrial humans cannot avoid implementing genetic engineering and manipulation. It is not only wrong for incognizant or arrogant people and organizations, such as Greenpeace, to rebel against it; in so doing they actually thwart human development. While the genetic engineering progress cannot be stifled through irrational standoffs, they may, nonetheless, result in obstacles and relapses of its development. The mere fact that plants can be altered to the point where they become more prolific and resistant to diseases, should be reason enough to look favorably upon genetic engineering, for it can positively influence and remedy much of this planet's hunger, poverty, and misery. Of course, medical implications must also be taken into account, which are so critical for human survival, such as those involving transplants and medications, to mention but two. Furthermore, genetic engineers and other genetic scientists do not simply fall from the sky as masters of their own particular disciplines. They must study their field intensely in order to master this subject. The investigation of any new technology will inevitably precipitate mistakes, however; but from mistakes additional studies, research and a guarantee of further progress will ensue. Understandably, occasional harm may result from mistakes in the exploration and development of terrestrial genetic technology since it currently is still in its infancy. But possible failures should not be taken as a bad omen and a reason for distorting all of this research and for stomping it into the ground. Inevitably, development will result in errors and maybe even harm. And yet, researchers would be ill advised to give up on their projects. It is vital that the research now in progress continues and that steps be taken to alleviate as many mistakes as possible. However, this type of work cannot take place in a terror-filled environment as is exemplified, for instance, by Greenpeace activism. Genetic technology is a vital facet of our development, essential for our evolution, and cannot be circumvented in the long run, even by terrestrials. In other words, it is much more constructive for us to rationally support the appropriate genetic scientific experts than it is to boycott them. Anyone boycotting them impedes not only human evolution, but takes on the responsibility for a great deal of suffering, poverty, and misery that may befall humans, animals and all nature on Earth. To have a hostile attitude toward genetic technology is to commit an irresponsible and criminal transgression against terrestrial humankind and the entire planet, including its floral and faunal life forms. Question 3. a) In your Overpopulation brochure #3, page 9, you state a family of 5 requires 1 hectare [approx. 2.5 acres] of land to feed itself, maintain a garden, and allow for freedom of movement. But in the next sentence you say that 1 kilometer2 (km2) = [0.39 mile2] should be calculated for every 12-person group.

  • FIGU Bulletin No. 6
    FIGU-BULLETIN No. 6 October 1997 The responsibility for all forms of publication (e.g. Internet, print etc.) of the FIGU Bulletin lies entirely on "Billy" Eduard A. Meier. INFORMATION FROM AMERICA INTERNATIONAL UFO CONFERENCE 1995 REPORT FROM MESQUITE, NV USAF Colonel (ret.) Wendelle Stevens reported on the disinformation which, apparently, was being disseminated by Kal Korff. Korff became the pawn of Bill Moore, a self- proclaimed "asset" of Air Force Intelligence, who began using the then 17-year-old Korff to spread disinformation about Billy Meier's UFO sightings in Switzerland. Moore had Korff disseminate these lies because a loophole in the defamation and libel action laws prevented legal prosecution of young Korff as an adult. SPEEDING CLOUD IN SPACE As early as October 1995, the U.S. space probe "Wind" pinpointed a gigantic magnetic cloud, which is racing towards Earth at a speed of 3 million kilometers per hour. (3 million km/h = 50 000 km per minute or 833,3333 km/517.8234 miles per second). COMET IN THE SKY According to scientists, comet "Hayakutake" will pass by Earth the end of March 1996. Of course, this "will pass by Earth" must be understood as being rather relative, because they say the comet can be observed from Earth by the naked eye, without binoculars. Experts claim this cosmic vagabond is twice the size of our Moon and weighs an estimated 10 billion tons. Billy VINDICATION With regard to questions in Bulletin #3 (June '95), and Letters to the Editor, respectively comments in Bulletin #4 (August '95, pages 7-9), we submit the following letter along with a response from Billy Meier: Dear friends, The published statements and response to questions printed in FIGU Bulletin #3 are completely understandable, justified and easy to follow.

In this series, I share a lot of new information regarding the alien and UFO phenomenon, which is not included in the original article. As such, I encourage my long-time readers to take the time to study it. To acquire a balanced understanding of my views concerning the alien and UFO phenomenon, I likewise encourage you to also read "Alien Life, Extrasolar Planets and Universal Atonement", "Keeping Things in Proper Perspective: ET, Where Are You?"and other articles which are listed at the end of this series. The original 1997 version of this article was the result of a two-year study I conducted regarding New Age thought and UFOlogy. The vast majority of the material which I read and archived, was obtained from the Internet, and there was, and still is, plenty of it. If one takes the time, he will find all kinds of interesting topics to explore, including MJ-12, Bill Cooper and the famous Krill Papers, the Space Brothers, the strange goings-on at Area 51 S-4, Pleiadian channeling, the photon belt and moving into a higher dimension, secret underground alien bases such as "Dulce", Remote Viewing, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Roswell UFO crash, the quatrains of Nostradamus, the Hollow Earth theory, Zacharia Sitchin and the Twelfth Planet, alien abductions and alien-human hybrids, and a lot more.

  • The Talmud of Jmmanuel.Pdf
    1 2 The Discovery Of The Talmud In 1963 a Swiss born man named Eduard Albert Meier, who the world now knows as ‘Billy Meier’, and his ex-Greek-Orthodox priest friend Isa Rashid took an afternoon walk along a roadway a little to the South of the Old City of Jerusalem. And during that afternoon walk Albert Meier happened to glance upwards and spied a small opening in the ground that took his interest. gg Finding himself curious Albert Meier took a torch-light from his back- pack and examined the opening, which was found to continue inwards. And so, Albert and his friend Isa Rashid dug out enough of the surrounding earth to allow them to gain entrance to some sort of chamber. What they both found after crawling inside was an old tomb in a state of disrepair and half-filled with earth. However, after clearing more of the soil away Albert Meier and Isa Rashid discovered a package beneath a flat rock, which they took back to Isa Rashid’s home to examine. The package was said to be about 60 cm long and 25 cm wide, and was found to hold four separate rolls of Aramaic writings which took the name of ‘The Talmud Of Jmmanuel’. Luckily Isa Rashid had some Palestinian background in his family, and so he found he could read the old Aramaic text. And the first thing that Isa Rashid noticed was that the title page showed that Judas Iscarioth had authored this collection of Spiritual Knowledges on behalf of his Teacher and Guide who was named Jmmanuel 1.

  • FIGU Bulletin No. 4
    FIGU-BULLETIN Vol. 1, No. 4 April 1996 The responsibility for all forms of publication (e.g. Internet, print etc.) of the FIGU Bulletin lies entirely on "Billy" Eduard A. Meier. ROSWELL UFO FILMS The Roswell films remain the conversational topic of the day for everyone, and many interested parties continue to inquire about the authenticity of this movie footage, which consists of several reels. The following must be stated in this regard: The authenticity of the films is questionable and continues to preoccupy the minds of all those who are interested in UFOs. But at the moment no definitive answer can be provided. The movie footage was shown in segments to numerous viewers at the MUSEUM OF LONDON, and their opinions seem to indicate that the films were not merely simple, but downright crude, forgeries. Anyone interested in the topic is therefore advised to follow developments pertaining to the subject matter and accompanying tales with extreme skepticism. Somebody's hasty claim that the Roswell films and their related data and tales are authentic and factual could evoke incredible damage to genuine, truthful ufology should the movie footage, along with its data, turn out to be forgery, trickery and a hoax. Such disclosure could potentially trigger the complete relapse not only of the Roswell initiative -- which is now at the verge of a decisive breakthrough -- but also the entire genuine and ethical ufology field. If indeed the Roswell footage is a forgery, the question must be raised as to who might profit from the forged and fraudulent information and stories .

  • UFO Connections>
    UFO Connections> The Meier UFO Contactee Case Billy Meier's first UFO sighting, followed by contacts from an elderly alien named Sfath, occurred as a child. They were followed up by further contacts as a young man under the tutelage of an alien woman called Asket, in the 1950s and early '60s. It was during this period that he was first told he would acquire a document of Jmmanuel's ministry and teachings, then later, at an appropriate time in 1963, was prompted telepathically to be the co- discoverer of the Talmud of Jmmanuel (TJ). Only a dozen or so of the nearly 300 photographs, many of the aliens' spacecraft, which he took during this period have survived—in Wendelle Stevens' UFO Contact from the Pleiades: A Preliminary Investigation Report (1982), in his Message from the Pleiades: The Contact Notes of Billy Meier, vol. 4 (1995), and in Meier's own photo collection (F.I.G.U., CH-8495 Schmidrüti ZH, Switzerland). During 1963-64 he worked at various odd jobs to earn his keep while traveling through the Near East and Asia. He spent about eight months working at the Ashoka Ashram in Mehrauli, India, near New Delhi, and learning Buddhist meditational practices from its leader, V.B. Dharmawara, who is also known as Ananda Mahatma. The Buddhism he taught Meier there is from the Photo by Meier on 3 July 1964 of the ashram oldest existing Buddhist showing Asket's UFO.
