Magazine Overview

Title: THE LITTLE LISTENING POST
Issue: Vol. 11, No. 2
Date: March-April 1964
Publisher: The Little Listening Post
Location: Washington, D.C.

This issue of The Little Listening Post, dated March-April 1964, presents a collection of news items and articles focused on UFO sightings, New Age philosophies, and potential societal shifts. The publication adopts a tone of urgency and revelation, suggesting that humanity is at a critical juncture.

Editorial: The Forces of Light Are on the March!

The editorial proclaims that 'New Age' pioneers are actively convening and spiritual leaders are becoming vocal, likening it to a 'Loud Cry' prophesied in the Bible. It suggests that Earth is at an 'Ebb-tide' of evolution, with the balance of all things hanging precariously. The editorial quotes Billy Graham's statement about the nation's morals being in the hands of broadcasters and Joseph Busby's promotion of 'Temples of Wisdom' for global spiritual conferences. Busby is quoted as saying, "There will be a spiritualization of commerce, of banking, etc., befitting the New Order... Truth pours in through every avenue... Devas can dip their consciousness down to make contact----a warmth is flowing through from inner planes."

The piece contrasts this with widespread 'FEAR' and the 'death struggle of the Old Age' as the 'New Age' is born. A significant event mentioned is a 100-foot flying saucer observed hovering over the United Nations Building in New York, rocking with a pendulum-like motion. A surveying engineer reportedly took a clear photo of it through a theodolite, questioning if it was weighing humanity's decisions. The 'Vandalism of the incoming generation,' exemplified by 'Beatnik youth,' is interpreted as a defiance of society and a symbol of a 'Demolition Squad clearing the way on this Planet for the erection of a New Age.' The issue concludes the editorial by quoting Wilbert Smith, a Canadian researcher, who stated that mankind must make a final choice between right and wrong, and that the current times require 'Discernment, and COMPLETE RELIANCE ON GOD!'

The News in Capsule

This section provides a rapid-fire collection of various reports and 'whispers':

• Government UFO Storage: It is rumored that the U.S. government possesses three Flying Saucers in storage and could build a free-energy spaceship if they chose to. Additionally, there are claims of two landing bases in the U.S. and Mexico used by 'Space people' and guarded by the government.
• Free-Energy Saucer Ride: A researcher allegedly received a ride in a small, man-made free-energy saucer off the coast of New Jersey.

• Anti-Matter Power: There is talk of an 'EVEN GREATER DISCOVERY OF ANTI-MATTER POWER' for disintegrating matter directly into energy. A testing unit is described as a 'circle' a mile in diameter.
• Death Ray: A scientist in Switzerland has reportedly invented the 'WORLD'S FIRST DEATH RAY,' capable of converting energy into electrical waves to destroy life cells.

Medicare for the Aged

This section questions the focus on hospitals for the aged, suggesting that 'RE-ORIENTATION' to keep up with changes is more important. It notes that 18 million seniors are in the U.S., with 1200 over 100 years old. The idea that 'AGEING IS JUST A BAD HABIT' is proposed, encouraging the belief in untapped mental powers and a transformation towards beauty and perfection in aging.

Esoteric Front

• Civilization's End: Herbert W. Armstrong's program warns that humanity is living in the 'DEATH THROES OF CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT.'

The Big Eye in the Sky

This section highlights that Russia and the U.S. are constantly watching each other via TV-equipped satellites that pass overhead every two hours, capable of identifying buildings in cities. It suggests that while no power can yet shoot down a satellite, remote-control weapons are likely to emerge, ushering in an era of 'Buck Rogers-style space combat.'

Saucer Front

• Helena, Montana Sighting: Four youths reported a UFO landing near the Missouri River, leaving behind cone-shaped holes and burned vegetation.
• White Sands, New Mexico Sighting: A policeman observed an 'aluminum-like Saucer' with landing gear parked in the desert, which then flew off, leaving a burned bush and depressions.
• Melbourne, Australia Sighting: A school principal and two pupils witnessed a 'shiny disc' land, and observed a 'small humanoid creature' collecting samples.
• RAF Base, England Sighting: A 'bright dome-shaped object' landed behind a hangar, shot a green beam, and opened a trap-door.

• Brazil Sighting: A 90-ft metallic disc was observed near Maceio, Brazil, dropping out of the sky and hovering above the sea. It featured square windows emitting a red glow and a dazzling light on top. The UFO repeatedly lurched upward and plunged down with buzzing noises.

Another UFO Documentary

Radio WBT in Charlotte, N.C., produced a 50,000-watt radio documentary on UFO communications, presenting logical arguments for the authenticity of 'Space-messages' and noting how unrelated sources like Edgar Cayce and Dino Kraspedon provided similar facts and predictions that have since come true. The theme is that the saucers are benevolent and will only interfere in extreme emergencies.

Publishing News

Reports suggest a well-known author's book was rejected for being 'too hot,' dealing with probable laser war. Rachel Carson's 'SILENT SPRING' is now in paperback, and Rodale's book 'Our Poisoned Earth & Sky' warns of a disaster course unless immediate correction is made. The issue also mentions Hugh Lynn Cayce's book 'Venture Inward' and the popularity of Azrael's third book from the White Brotherhood.

Visitors to The LLP

George Adamski lectured with excellent color movies of flying saucers. Chas. McCrae from Denver held a 'Saucerama' event with a UFO documentary and photo displays. Earl Neff's 'UFO Roundtable' over Radio KYW is gaining attention. Young callers from Berlin spoke of war horrors and Hitler's alleged survival, turning to the 'Interplanetary Gospel.' Gordon Allen, an author and researcher, travels to Europe for his work.

Mailbag

Several gift subscriptions were received. Readers express their appreciation for the magazine, with one stating they 'absolutely not be without it.' The Cosmic Brotherhood Association in Japan praises LLP as one of the best magazines in the Flying Saucer research world.

Notice to LLP Family

Subscribers are encouraged to obtain a set of new LLP Mottoes, described as 'Silent Sermons.' The publication aims to make these messages accessible, offering them at a reduced price or half the amount if necessary, to help 'GET THEIR MESSAGE OUT!'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the imminent arrival of a 'New Age' characterized by spiritual evolution and the presence of UFOs, which are often portrayed as benevolent observers or potential interveners. The magazine expresses a strong belief in the reality of UFOs and the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. There is a consistent undercurrent of government secrecy and a perceived 'hush-up' regarding UFO information. The publication also delves into concepts of alternative energy ('free energy'), advanced technology ('death rays,' anti-matter), and the potential for mass mental influence ('telepathy race,' 'mesmeric invasion'). The editorial stance is one of awakening and urging readers to embrace new knowledge and spiritual understanding, positioning 'The Little Listening Post' as a source of vital information from the 'FAR-OUT FRONT' to help navigate what is described as a '3-D Wilderness.' The magazine advocates for a shift in human consciousness and a reliance on spiritual principles to overcome societal challenges and potential global conflicts.
