This issue of the Akuale Research Group Bulletin, dated June 1, 1927, covers a range of topics including the dangers of atomic bomb testing, UFO sightings, and a critical analysis of international banking practices.

The Atomic Wilderness

The lead article, "The Atomic Wilderness," highlights concerns about the atom bomb testing program. It notes that despite public pleas from figures like Albert Schweitzer, Senator Wayne Morse, and Pope Pius, those in power largely ignore these calls. A 1954 Gallup poll is cited, showing that 71% of Americans favored continuing the tests. The article contrasts this with the public's desire for peace, referencing Adlai Stevenson's presidential campaign stance.

The Wise Greek, Plato

This section reflects on Plato's philosophy of 'barren times,' where materialism blinds humanity to spiritual matters. H.P. Blavatsky's interpretation of these cycles is discussed, suggesting that in 1880, humanity was at the bottom of a hard-hearted cycle. The author laments that modern scientists, using advanced technology, are focused on building powerful weapons rather than on spiritual or ethical development, embodying the slogan 'America First' with a dangerous focus.

A Wise General?

General Omar Bradley is quoted from a 1953 "Newsletter," expressing concern about humanity's moral state in the face of advanced weaponry. He states, "With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents. We have too many men of science, too few of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. Man is stumbling blindly through a spiritual darkness while toying with the precarious secrets of life and death. The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about killing than we know about living. This is our twentieth century's claim to distinction and progress."

The Coming of the Guardians

This section suggests that due to the perceived moral immaturity of world leaders, humanity may require 'outside help.' It promotes Meade Layne's book, "The Coming of The Guardians," which reportedly tackles the problem of Flying Saucers from a metaphysical and scientific perspective. The book is described as a guide to understanding the 'Guardians' of our planet and potentially traveling in outer space.

Another Invader Bites The

An incident on March 17 is described where a flaming fireball, identified as a UFO, crashed into the Chugach mountains of Alaska. It was observed over the Matanusa valley at 6:30 p.m., leaving a black column of smoke for fifteen minutes. This event is linked to the concept of 'Guardians' taking protective action against intruders from outer space, who are reportedly turned back if their purpose is not malicious.

Mid-Air Explosions of Planes

In a previous bulletin, the author conjectured that malicious entities might be laying invisible aerial mines. This section explores the idea further, referencing Trevor James's "Spacemen, Friends or Foes." A space contact named Antrim, from the Interplanetary Space Patrol Services, explained that some plane crashes and disintegrations are caused by an 'atomic field' formed by radioactive particles from bomb testing. These fields, anchored by polarized rays from the Earth's core, can ignite aircraft fuel or stop engines. The author questions the innocence of air travel over America, given that the Atomic Energy Commission and Department of Defense, responsible for bomb testing, are supported by taxpayer money.

The Arend-Rowland Comet

The passage of the Arend-Rowland comet is discussed, with a focus on a report from Ohio State University astronomers stating that the comet had lost part of its tail. This detached section was reportedly headed towards Earth's orbit. The author raises concerns about the potential impact of this cosmic dust and charged particles on Earth's atmosphere, especially in conjunction with the charged particles introduced by atom bomb testing.

Catastrophe

This section speculates whether the charged material from the comet or bomb testing could have caused the thousand forest fires in New England in early May. It also notes the dissipation of Typhoon Trixie and the beneficial rains in drought-stricken areas of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, contrasting these with destructive floods and tornadoes.

Manly Palmer Hall

Manly Palmer Hall, described as the dean of metaphysicians, lectured in Los Angeles on the Arend-Rowland comet and its effects on nations and individuals. His lecture suggested the comet would bring a crisis in personal, national, and international affairs, with individual and national reactions depending on their capacity for change.

The International Bankers

This section addresses a reader's question about bankers' influence over Congress. It reiterates how bankers blocked a probe into the Federal Reserve System's monetary policy. Meyer Amschel Rothschild is quoted: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws!" The influence is attributed to bankers holding mortgages on congressmen's homes and businesses.

The Investigation

In response to critics of the 'tight money' policy, an investigation is announced, with Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia selected. The author characterizes Byrd as a 'sound money' man, meaning he favors a large public debt to allow private bankers to control public credit. The investigation is predicted to be a 'white wash.'

A Den of Thieves

This part quotes President Andrew Jackson's strong condemnation of bankers as a "den of vipers and thieves." It details how the Bank of the United States, akin to the Federal Reserve System of its time, allegedly loaned large sums to congressmen and subsidized presses. Jackson's successful campaign to prevent the renewal of the bank's charter in 1836 is highlighted, leading to a period free of public debt until the Civil War.

The Public Debt

The current $275 billion public debt is traced back to 1863, when a National Bank charter bill was allegedly bribed through Congress. President Lincoln reluctantly signed it into law under pressure from the war and bankers. The Rothschilds are implicated, having encouraged the Southern states to secede by offering credit for munitions, hoping to split the United States. Although this failed, they succeeded in getting their bank charter bill passed, leading to a $4 billion debt by 1865.

Too Much Money

International bankers are accused of encouraging wars by making credit cheap, then squeezing credit to profit from the ensuing debt. This was allegedly done after the Civil War by favoring legislation and electing General Grant, who signed a bill demonetizing silver and increasing dependence on banker-controlled credit. A similar tactic is described after World War II, with the grooming of a popular hero (Eisenhower) and the subsequent raising of credit prices by the Federal Reserve Board in 1953. The author notes that credit screws were loosened until 1956, then tightened again, regardless of the impact on housing and schools, while weapons programs always have ample funding.

Understanding

This section aims to help readers understand current events in Washington. It suggests that the forces controlling money seek to maintain their power. President Eisenhower, having served their purpose by approving the Federal Reserve Board's tight money policy, is now being turned on by those who pleaded with him to run for office. This organized greed is linked to the "silence group" and the "men in black" mentioned by Barker. An invasion from outer space, promoting Brotherhood, is seen as a threat to this power structure, as space beings may not submit to war-boom-depression control.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the dangers of unchecked technological advancement (particularly atomic weapons), the potential for extraterrestrial intervention or observation ('Guardians,' UFOs), and a strong critique of the international banking system, which is portrayed as a manipulative force controlling governments and economies for profit. The editorial stance is one of deep suspicion towards established financial and governmental powers, advocating for a greater awareness of spiritual and ethical principles, and suggesting that extraterrestrial contact might offer a path towards a more enlightened future based on Brotherhood.
