Messenger Of Deception
Rare photo of Aladino Felix, aka Dino Kraspedon
Regan Lee wrote today about about locating a copy of an old contactee book over at Binall of America. The volume, called My Contact With Flying Saucers, was first published in English 1959 by metaphysical publishers Neville Spearman in London. What some readers (including myself, until a few years ago) may not know is that Dino Kraspedon was the pen name of one Aladino Felix, whose strange story still stands as a warning.
Felix appeared on Brazilian TV in 1959 to predict a coming era of worldwide political turmoil and revolution, which soon followed. How he knew this is anyone’s guess, but according to some writers, he reportedly gazed into his alien crystal ball to predict the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King.
Brazil was not spared from this period of terrorism, which included bombings and attempts on the lives of political figures. In early August of 1968, Felix again appeared on national TV and declared that his space people experiences reported in My Contact were all made up. Later in the same month, he was arrested and charged with conspiracy in many of the same acts of violence he had previously predicted. He had apparently gathered a group of believers around him who had gone from peaceful study of space brother lore to political activism. While under arrest, in one of many contradictions in his public statements, he predicted that Venusians would bust him and his friends out of jail and wreak their revenge on the Earth.
On March 30, 1971, Felix was finally sentenced to eight years, but was released in 1972 provided he went directly to a mental institution for treatment. He has since disappeared and may be dead by now.
It is surprising that Jacques Vallee apparently did not mention the Kraspedon/ Felix case in his landmark book Messengers of Deception, given that the case illustrated his warnings about UFO contactee movements and their potential for mind control and political unrest. In his 1970 book Operation Trojan Horse, John Keel theorized that Felix may have been under the control of some sort of malevolent force that acted through human agents, and had been for centuries. One only has to look at episodes such as the Aum Shin Rikyo cult and Heaven’s Gate to realize that there is sometimes a thin line between harmless new age homilies and death.

Fascinating. Have you heard of the Posadists Greg- a Trotskyist UFO cult. Anyway, I’ll have to look up more info on this guy. Disappearing people, cults, ufos- sounds interesting.

Hey Greg, someone has put this guys book up online, in English. You can find the link at the Wikipedia page for him. He was accused of being a Commie.

Okay, it looks like a very long excerpt from his book but not the whole book.

Greg — given that the aliens like Tibetan music, are the “secret towers of the Himalayas” actually so the Tibetans could defend themselves from the secret ancestors of the newly discovered Indonesian Hobbits? Maybe Dino just wore the feathers of a future bird that will evolve from our human-reptilian brain-lifestyle. More likely Kraspedon was secretly raised by Kaspar Hauser.

Harmless prigs? I’m not so sure since most people will do anything a convincing authority figure tells them. The latest seem to be the 11:11 cults popping up like mushrooms and there is even factionalism amongst them; the /true/ 11:11er’s vs the more inclusive types, 10:10, 12:12, 1:11, 2:22, etc. Another mass ascension in the works? We’ll see.
By the way, I think that kind of clock watching is like waking up before the alarm goes off and is something you can train yourself to do. At least I’ve done it, or have I become one of them? Whether or not it’s something paranormal like a spontaneous telepathic connection between thousands of people, morphic resonance, or whatever is another matter.

Ben,
Interesting re the Posadists. Many of the early Contactees were accused of Communist leanings, so this seems like a perfect fit.

Drew,
You’re mixing a lot of metaphors there.

euphemystic,
Self-fulfilling prophecies don’t tend to take out anyone nearby.
I can usually tell what time it is during the day to within about 5 minutes, at least since the last time I look at a clock. Many people have experienced waking up a minute or two before their alarm goes off, so maybe I can sort of tap into that in a conscious state. I think that it’s probably just a fairly normal “talent.”

That’s funny: I came out of full-lotus meditation after about an hour of listening to Bushmen trance singing and the clock said 1:11. I immediately thought of how I seem to keep coming out of meditation when the clock is 2:22 or some such and how you, Greg, noted this synchronicity as well. Then I thought — naw it’s just a coincidence. But on the biological clock thing I totally agree with you. So I guess I’ve cleared myself of falling into the New Age Greg Bishop cult. haha. I’m still working on Redfern’s Ark cult though.
