ORGAN IS DEAD

Magazine Overview

This document is a bulletin from the Alalele Research Group, dated May 1949, with a cover headline that reads "ORGAN IS DEAD - but any threat to the self-perpetuaving, all-powerful, secret Banking empire will bring the same kind of bloody reprisal which murdered Lincoln in 1865." The bulletin discusses a perceived threat to the international banking system and the alleged cover-up of Flying Saucer activity.

Banking Conspiracy and Lincoln's Assassination

The author asserts that the international banking empire is all-powerful and secret, capable of violent reprisal against any threat. The assassination of President Lincoln in 1865 is presented as a prime example of this reprisal. Lincoln had reportedly dared to issue $400,000,000 worth of debt-free, non-interest bearing Greenbacks directly from the Treasury. This action, according to the bulletin, threatened the core business model of international banking by eliminating the need for debt-creating, interest-bearing bank notes, and thus could not be tolerated.

UFO Cover-up and Potential Alien Invasion

The bulletin also identifies a potential invasion of Earth from outer space by superior beings as another threat to the international bankers. It claims that the "Silence Group," which has been in place for ten years, has covered up the invasion of the Flying Saucers and intends to continue doing so. The bankers are described as tough and smart, and the bulletin suggests they might attempt to "make a deal" with these space travelers. The author draws a parallel to the "invasion" of Hawaii by white settlers in the early 19th century, noting that while it was largely peaceful, it led to the near-extinction of the native Hawaiian culture. King Kamehameha's attempt to "make a deal" with the white man and use their superior weapons to consolidate his kingdom is seen as a cautionary tale, implying that humanity might not be able to resist a superior alien culture.

The bulletin specifically mentions that James Forrestal, an investment banker, is believed to have set the policy for the Silence Group. It states that Forrestal encouraged Sidney Shallett to write stories ridiculing Flying Saucer sightings, which were then published in the Saturday Evening Post in May 1949. This is characterized as a blatant attempt by the Silence Group to control public opinion and steer it away from intelligence reports confirming the reality of Flying Saucers.

Alalele Research Group Activities and Relocation

The author, Riley Crabb, announces that this is likely the last bulletin to be issued from Honolulu, Hawaii, by the Alalele Research Group. Crabb and Mrs. Crabb plan to leave the islands in mid-August. He expresses hope that another ambitious member will step forward to continue the group's work in the islands. Crabb notes that he has had frequent lecture engagements recently, including talks to the Kailua Kiwanis Club, the Kokkus Club at the International Airport (attended by commercial airline personnel, CAA, Weather Bureau, Navy, and Air Force personnel), and upcoming lectures at the Waikiki Lions Club and for Navy officers at Pearl Harbor.

For correspondence, Crabb provides his temporary address as his mother's home in Hollywood, California: 6255 Barmer St., Hollywood 38, California. The bulletin also includes contact information for the North Jersey UFO Group, Box 606, Morristown, N.J.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this bulletin are the immense power and clandestine operations of international bankers, their willingness to use extreme measures to protect their interests, and a perceived cover-up of UFO phenomena by a shadowy group. The editorial stance is one of alarm and urgency, warning the public about these hidden forces and the potential threat of alien contact. The bulletin advocates for awareness and vigilance against both financial manipulation and potential extraterrestrial threats, framing them as interconnected issues managed by powerful, secretive entities.
