			Through a series of events and
			interventions that apparently were
			“meant” to be, on 3/16/03 I had the great opportunity to finally 
			speak with Mr. McCanney directly. I believe you’ll find the 
			conversation fascinating. 
				
				Martin: Before we get started, let me just ask you what your 
			thoughts are about the research of Dr. Aleskey Dmitriev? Are you in 
			tune with what he is saying?  
				McCanney: Oh, yes. In the mid-1990s to 
			1999, approximately, I had an Internet website called 
				
				The Millennium 
			Group.    
				Martin: That’s you?McCanney: Yes, my science information was the heart of that page.
 
				Martin: They have some excellent
			information.
 McCanney: It’s basically a
			continuation of what I did. Jerry, I think, is the webmaster for 
			that page. Then, a guy named Earl, is a researcher, let’s say. Back 
			in the 1990s, we were getting about 3 million hits a month on that 
			page. That was after doing the Art Bell Show a few times, so you may 
			want to mention that.
   
				Martin: What was the reception like with Art 
			Bell?McCanney: Of the people?
 
				Martin: The reception of the people, and how did Art Bell receive 
			you?
 McCanney: Pretty well. He said at the end of that show that it was 
			one of the most interesting shows he had ever done. I still have the 
			recording of that show, and I’m going to put it up.
 In fact, I’m going to relive the 
				
				Hale-Bopp days in an individual 
			lecture on my page, one of these days, and go back through The 
			Millennium Group, Chuck Schramek. Listen below the interview that
				Chuck Schramek did of me for The Millennium Group in the ’90s. Of 
			course, he was a talk-show host from Houston, and he later died from 
			the same rapid-onset lower-back cancer that Dr. Harrington died 
			from.
 
			[Editor’s note: And then, of course, there’s the coincidence (?) of 
			Art Bell’s “lower-back problems” that supposedly is the reason for 
			his retirement back on the first day of 2003.] 
				
				Martin: Isn’t that interesting?McCanney: Oh, yeah. He was very critical of NASA. He was in Houston, 
			which is one of NASA’s big hubs. He used to use a lot of my stuff on 
			the radio down there.
 
				At any rate, your question originally was about 
				Dmitriev. There was 
			a duel exchange. Earl Crockett back then took it upon himself to 
			translate Dmitriev’s papers, the ones you still find on
				
				The 
			Millennium Group web-page. The flipside was, they took my papers and 
			translated them into Russian and were, literally, teaching them in 
			colleges and graduate schools over there in Russia back in the 
			1990s.
 
				Dmitriev is an experimentalist, partly
			theoretical physicist, but mainly he was
			an observational scientist, atmospheric scientist. He’s the one who 
			discovered the tornadoes on the Moon, just all kinds of stuff. He 
			talked about the 
				vacuum domain, and what they were measuring in the 
			atmosphere and other things in the cosmos, that basically they 
			didn’t know how to explain. They were measuring them, but they 
			didn’t know what was going on.
 
				But then, when they got my papers, they said: “This explains 
			everything we’ve been seeing.” So, it was quite the thing.
 
				Martin: The reason I was asking you about him is because at the 
			front-end of the article that will appear in our May issue of The 
			SPECTRUM, I am quoting from his 
				
				Planetophysical State Of The Earth 
			And Life document as a foundational piece for the changes that are 
			going on in our non-static universe. So, I just didn’t want to be in 
			conflict with him.
 McCanney: Oh [laughter]. You might just mention that he was head of 
			the group that I worked with back in the ’90s in Russia. So, my work 
			is well known in Russia.
 
				Then, NASA went over there, around 2000. That’s when Russia, of 
			course, had no money. These guys were making $75 a month—they used 
			to laugh about it. And they were trying to publish their own work, 
			using money out of their own pocket; it was just ludicrous. But 
				NASA 
			went over there and started pumping some money into them, and then 
			went over there and said: “If you teach any more of McCanney’s 
			stuff, we’re cutting you off.”
 
				You can include that, too.
 
				Martin: I will, I’ll be glad to include that.
 McCanney: It was about that time that
			my e-mails began to be—I could tell it
			wasn’t them writing back to me. They
			were intercepted. There were people who had clearly intercepted my e-mails, and
			were writing back to me. Then,
			eventually, they just stopped.
 
				Martin: I do have included in the
			story, not only your listing of the people who have died, but from 
			another source, a similar list. Can you talk about these deaths? Are 
			they all Planet X-related, do you think, or what is your conjecture 
			behind what’s happening?
 McCanney: It is the control of space, let’s put it that way. The 
				Harrington thing was real unusual, especially for its time. It was 
			way ahead of its time. Then, the Shoemaker thing was so abnormal for 
			a young guy like that—young, for a scientist—he was middle aged, but 
			it was very clear. It was about the same time when comet 
				Shoemaker-Levy crashed into
				Jupiter [in July 1994].
 
				  
				The murmurs 
			of the scientific community was that these aren’t ice balls. 
			Everybody in the scientific community knew it. I forget what year 
			that was. It was very clear that comets are not dirty snowballs, but 
				NASA holds onto that. I just saw a posting the other day about 
				Comet 
			NEAT that came by, and they’re still hanging onto this dirty 
			snowball thing. 
				Martin: That’s incredible.
 McCanney: Yeah, it’s just so bizarre.
 
				Martin: It’s like hanging-on to a
			sinking ship.
 McCanney: It’s so absurd that it is
			beyond any comprehension. It was in the mid-1990s when Shoemaker was 
			about to make a large announcement. It’s clear that he was going to 
			make an announcement about comets, the composition of comets, and 
			probably take a lot of people with him in the scientific community.
 
				Then, all of a sudden, he dies in this 
				supposed car crash in the 
			bottom of a crater over in Australia. Three stories came out of 
			that. It was very bizarre the way the stories came out because I was 
			right on top of it, as we were with everything in those days. I 
			mean, we were the news center for everything going on in science. By 
			the way, concerning the 3 million hits at 
				
				The Millennium Group 
			website—there was an engine on that page that could identify the 
			e-mail addresses of the person who was at the page. A daily printout 
			was 50-60,000 names. But you’d go through the list and half of them 
			were from the government.
 
				Martin: Big surprise.
 McCanney: But they pretended like they knew nothing about it. They 
			just tried to ignore it. And they would go there for the weather. 
			They’d go there for the Sun’s weather. Hal Blandel was doing the 
			daily solar report and we, literally, had the scientists going to 
			our page to get that information, which came literally from their 
			sites, but he interpreted it so well. So, that’s the kind of thing 
			that was going on.
 
				  
				On the Art Bell Show, just another note of 
			interest, the show was originally to air my comet theory and talk 
			about my science work. Midway through the show I made a 
			comment—Whitley Strieber was also interviewing. I said: 
					
					“And the companion of Hale-Bopp, etc.,” because we were talking 
			about Hale-Bopp.Art goes: “Whoa, wait a minute. We’ve been through all of this. You 
			just said Hale-Bopp’s companion.”
 And I said: “Yeah.” Because, you know, 
					Art Bell was accused of being 
			responsible for the death of those 39 people.
 
				Martin: No, I did not know that.McCanney: This is why I want to do
			this lecture on my homepage, because a
			lot of this stuff has been lost.
			It was a story—Courtney Brown was a Ph.D. involved in remote 
			viewing.
 
				Then, the other thing, Chuck Schramek, the same guy who interviewed
			me—what happened when Hale-Bopp
			appeared, it was announced that NASA
			had a webpage. Some underling at
			NASA thought it would be cute to put up
			this picture of Hale-Bopp, which they
			weren’t supposed to put up because that
			feed had been coming in for years,
			literally, under the Hubble. And so, some
			guy put it up there, and this is how Gary
			Goodwin got started. He was surfing the
			web and he saw this big, whirling
			pinwheel of Hale-Bopp, and he
			downloaded it; he captured it.
 
				He went back to it the next day and it was gone! And so he said: 
			“What’s this?” That was his first clue into NASA hiding data.
 
				And, of course, I eventually saw their web-page. I had my own 
			web-page at the time, just a little page. I e-mailed them [The 
			Millennium Group] and I said: “You might want to look at my stuff.”
 
				So, the agreement was that they would post my 
				web stuff. It just 
			kind-of worked out that I was the science guy, Gary was the 
			webmaster, and Earl did political analysis, searching out 
				NASA 
			contracts and things like that.
 
				Back to Hale-Bopp. Chuck Schramek, who also saw the same thing, 
			heard that there was supposedly a companion to Hale-Bopp. So, he 
			went out in his back yard, with his amateur-grade but very nice 
			telescope, and started clicking pictures of Hale-Bopp, and he got 
			pictures of the companion.
 
				He sent them to Art Bell, who he knew very well, and it wasn’t 
			unusual for Art to be in the middle of a program and he’d say: 
			“Chuck Schramek just faxed in.” Chuck told me how to get through on 
			a show to Art. There was a secret to it. Art had a secret fax 
			number. I could do that, too, if I heard something false, or 
			whatever; I could quickly write down a fax and get it through, and 
			he’s talking about it the next minute.
 So, at any rate, Chuck got the pictures that he took, gave them to 
				Art Bell, who posted them. At the same time, Courtney Brown had 
			gotten some 35mm slides from, we later found out, the University of 
			Hawaii. But he wouldn’t say where he got them. He was under a 
			private communication hold not to tell where he got the pictures 
			from, but he gave them to Art Bell.
 
				So, here’s Courtney Brown’s picture of the companion, and here’s 
				Chuck Schramek’s pictures of the companion, and Art Bell posted them 
			on his web-page. Well, hours later, there’s the 39 people who 
			supposedly commit suicide in California, with Heaven’s Gate, the 
				
				Heaven’s Gate suicide massacre. The government goes in, takes their 
			website down, and posts a brand new website in place of theirs. This 
			is all a thing right now that’s going on—people were able to capture 
			their site before it went down, so that’s available now. But, at any 
			rate, that’s a whole other story.
 
				But then the government came in and had a national news campaign the 
			next day:
 
					
					“Crazy people, Heaven’s Gate cult group, were going to go 
			to this alien ship that was coming in with Hale-Bopp, the comet, and 
			they all put on nice tennis shoes and robes and ate porridge and 
			committed suicide so they could go to meet the aliens.” 
				That’s not what happened; what
			happened is: The government killed all
			those people. And the reason they killed
			them is because they were in competition with a very large software outfit, and the
				Heaven’s Gate group were all
			programmers. They were building
			encryption software and firewalls that the government couldn’t break 
			into. 
				There was another little bit—that they were competing with a very 
			large contractor who was selling encryption encoding and firewalls 
			to the government, and these people were able to break through 
			theirs. Anyway, there are a whole series of things that went on 
			there.
 
				At any rate, the other half of the
				Heaven’s Gate thing is, they just posted a thing, and they had been 
			recruiting all over the country for many years, saying there was a 
			large comet that they expected to come in. It would have aliens, and 
			go up to the aliens, and they were going to be transcended into this 
			life. In fact, they were not suicidal at all. They took very good 
			care of their bodies because their belief was, they needed their 
			bodies in excellent condition to transform, and go into this 
			long-term state of living with the aliens. Be that as it may, they 
			were not suicidal.
 
				The other half of the Heaven’s Gate equation was that when 
				Hale-Bopp 
			showed up, they posted: “This is it, folks; this is what we’ve been 
			waiting for, we’re all going to meet.” And they had—the counts were 
			astronomical—they probably had a half million people who were going 
			to get up and walk off their jobs—a lot of them young people, 
			college age, high-school age. Those were the kinds of people they 
			had been recruiting. Then the “hit number” on their page went 
			through the ceiling. That’s when the government went in and killed 
			them.
 
				That’s why they had the news blip on the next day, which was on the 
			front-page of every newspaper. And they blamed Art Bell because he 
			posted those pictures of the companion. They blamed him for the 
			murder of these 39 people. They roasted Chuck Schramek. Courtney 
			Brown lost his position as a teacher. He was a Ph.D. in astronomy. 
				Art Bell was accused publicly of being responsible for the death of 
			these 39 people.
 
				  
				And NASA came out and said there was no companion, 
			and produced pictures from the University of Hawaii that proved that 
			there was no companion. Well, in The Millennium Group, we had a guy 
			who went in, and he analyzed the pictures and he showed that the 
			pictures that they produced were from a different telescope, and 
			that they were doctored. They had taken the companion out of them.  
				  
				The pictures that Courtney Brown had, they took and analyzed those, 
			and they showed how the only telescope that could have taken those 
			pictures was one of the big military scopes run by the University 
				of Hawaii. So anyway, I’m on the Art Bell Show, and all of this comes 
			out on the air. And Art is like: “Wait a minute! What do you mean? 
				  
				We have been roasted, everybody has been roasted, I have been 
			accused of murdering 39 people, because I posted these pictures, and 
			now you’re telling me that these pictures were the correct ones, and 
			that NASA was the one who faked the photos?!” He said: “Prove it to 
			me, right now!” He was hot. He had taken a lot of heat. 
				And Whitley Strieber said he had called a few observatories in 
			London when he first heard about it, and he said everybody was 
			talking about 
				the companion, all these observatories, but NASA had 
			the ability to go shut all these down and make them all reverse 
			their stories. So, that was the Art Bell Show. We were able to 
			convince him on the air that he had been had. I’m going to do a 
			whole lecture on that.
 
				Martin: There is the list of people who have been “taken out”, and 
			obviously NASA is doctoring data and withholding data. Do you have 
			any theories or information about who specifically at NASA is behind 
			this sort-of diabolical withholding of knowledge?
 McCanney: Yes, it’s very clear; I’ve known this for a long time.
 
				Martin: Can you talk about it?
 McCanney: Sure. NASA is a group of scientists. That’s what we always 
			think of, these engineers who build spacecraft and that type of 
			thing. NASA is owned and operated by the NSA [National Security 
			Agency]. There’s a layer above NASA that controls 
				NASA.
 
				Donald Golden, who came into 
				NASA in the ’90s, came in from the CIA, 
			and his job was to secretize or put the cap on NASA. What he did is, 
			he went in and the first thing he did was make everybody—top, 
			bottom, sideways who worked for NASA—made them sign, basically, an
				NSA non-disclosure agreement.
 The NSA is controlled on a worldwide level, as part of the 
			overseeing government that is already in place. They talk about the 
				One World Government now. The 
				
				One World Government is already in 
			place; they just want to make it official now. That’s what all of 
			the stuff going on now is about. But the One World Government has 
			been in place for some time.
 
				Martin: Are there Jesuits behind all this?
 McCanney: [Laughter] The Jesuits?
 
				Martin: Yes.
 McCanney: 
				
				The Vatican has a big stake in the 
				
				One World Government, 
			and it’s part of it, but not the whole show. It’s like back in the 
				Middle Ages, with the kings, the descendants of that whole entourage 
			of people, and it actually goes back much farther. Some people 
			believe it actually goes back to the priest cults in Egypt.
 
				  
				But it’s 
			very much a worldwide situation, where you, literally, have hundreds 
			and hundreds and hundreds of families who are associated with this, 
				and they are very wealthy; they have control in their countries; 
			they’re in every country of the world. In their countries they 
			control the politics, and the money, and the banking; so, it takes a 
			very large web of these people. 
				For the NSA, these are people who have been drawn in, many times at 
			a very young age, like Clinton, young Bush, to be the operatives to 
			operate things.
 
				Martin: The puppets.
 McCanney: The public figures, and they’re allowed a certain amount 
			of latitude. There’s a lot of in-fighting amongst those groups. But 
			the NSA—it’s just like the CIA—it’s not a national thing. They are 
			really controlled from outside. And it’s groups that came out of 
			Nazi Germany.
 
				Martin: I was just going to mention the 
				Nazis; that’s were I was 
			going with my original question.
 McCanney: Yes. 
				
				The  Bushs and half the people in the 
				Bush 
			Administration are directly descendants of the Nazis.
 
				Martin: We have published all that, so our readers are well familiar 
			with that. You won’t be offending anybody by saying that.
 McCanney: There’s not many people who—you know, you tell them 
			something like this and they’ll say: “What are you talking about?” 
			They have no clue.
 
				Martin: That’s actually common
			knowledge with our readership.
 McCanney: They, of course, realized that space is the last frontier 
			in resources. The control of space is essential to everything that 
			they’re doing. It’s the last frontier.
 
				But space is different. Now you have other things going on. But 
			we’re getting a little too far afield here.
 Back to the Hale-Bopp days. They knew, and this is why Harrington, 
			who was head of the Naval Observatory—the Navy is in charge of a lot 
			of stuff there, that’s true—but like a lot of other things, all 
			these people are working compartmentalized, and working in 
			capacities like Harrington was. He was not in charge of anything, 
			other than he was the head of the Naval Observatory, of all the 
			astronomers there. Just the fact that there is a document there with 
			his name on it.
 
				Martin: What is the fear of 
				NASA concerning 
				
				Planet X? Is it related 
			to 
				Sumeria and the Annunaki? Or, is it something else.
 McCanney: I wouldn’t say that, but the knowledge that there is this 
				Big Thing that’s going to come in on a regular basis is old. That’s 
			part of the very high levels of secrecy in a lot of these groups, 
			like the Vatican.
 I mean, the first thing when 
				Hale-Bopp showed up, 
				
				the Vatican built 
			a world-class observatory in Arizona, and staffed it with 
			astronomers. Gee, wonder why?
 
				Martin: Clue.
 McCanney: Then they have a second one. But what is interesting, even 
			after Hale-Bopp left—because they thought that Hale-Bopp was the 
				Big 
			One.
 
				Now, let’s backtrack back to 1991. 
				Hale-Bopp was officially 
			discovered in 1995, by Alan Hale at New Mexico, and then Bopp was 
			the Japanese guy. They both hit on the same night, so they both got 
			credit for the name of the comet. Prior to that, it’s very clear to 
			me, and if you’re looking at my Harrington notes, one of the things 
			that Harrington was looking at was Hale-Bopp.
 
				  
				The nucleus of Hale-Bopp 
			was extremely large. The reason NASA pulled the feed down 
			immediately, once they realized that some lackey had stuck it up on 
			the Internet—because any astronomer, or person like myself, would 
			know that with that small amount of data you could determine the 
			mass of the central nucleus. It’s a little equation you use; they 
			use it all the time to determine the mass of central stars when they 
			see a wobble in a star.  
				  
				Then, they can determine the radius of the 
			thing orbiting it. You need the period and the radius of whatever is 
			orbiting the larger object, and with those two parameters you can 
			calculate the mass of the central object. Just a little equation in 
			celestial mechanics. 
				So, with that small piece of evidence on the web, 
				anybody could 
			calculate the mass of Hale-Bopp, showing that it’s planetary in size 
			coming in.
 
				Now, the other factor: In 1991, what Harrington saw was two things: 
			he saw Hale-Bopp, and he saw something much bigger beyond Hale-Bopp, 
			that’s 
				Planet X. That’s my understanding at this point.
 In 1991, 
				Hale-Bopp was on a near direct
			collision course with Earth. With a
			couple of quick photographs they could chart the orbit, and it was 
			on a near collision course for Earth.
 
				 
				Martin: No wonder there was such a scramble.
 McCanney: It was a huge scramble. When it was first discovered, I 
			called up Goddard, because—I can say this now—I knew the secretary 
			there. If you ever want to know anything, you ask the secretary. She 
			knew all the astronomers. I, of course, never let on that she was my 
			inside contact there. She heard all their conversations, and she 
			would tell me what was going on.
 
				I called her and I said: “What’s going on? I heard there’s this 
			comet?” You could hear the screaming in the background and stuff.
 
				And she said: “Oh, my God, this comet is huge!” But I thought she 
			meant in the sense of being a news story. No, it was huge in the 
			sense that it was a planetarysized object. They had been tracking 
			it.
 
				You see, this is where the division comes in, because it wasn’t 
			until then that even a lot of the scientists at Goddard found out 
			about it. But they had been tracking this since 1991, possibly 
			earlier. But Harrington discovered it, and you see it in that memo, 
			the 1991 memo, that he knew exactly where to go and look at it. You 
			can’t tell me that he didn’t go down and get the information and 
			come back. What they found out was that he was going to go public 
			and say that there was this large object coming in that is on a 
			direct collision course with Earth. So, that’s why they killed him.
 
				Martin: I still want to talk about these people who have been 
			murdered, but I don’t want to let NASA off the hook just yet, 
			either. We were talking about the names, the people behind NASA who 
			are the villains, withholding knowledge from the world. Who are 
			these people?
 McCanney: Ok. At this point I would
			call them “family”. They are people who go to privileged schools; people whose
			money is not taxed; it’s not even
			registered. When the stock market
			crashes, it’s these people who are
			withdrawing their money, on purpose.
 
				They create the money in the first place. The
				
				World Monetary Fund 
			and all the people who work in that are all related to this.
 
				So, literally, what came out of the 
				Middle Ages, the 
				
				banking system, 
				the Vatican, and these groups of families who have descended down 
			through, and have basically run all of these countries for centuries 
			and centuries.
 
				A long time ago what happened is, they moved out as—let’s go back to 
				before the devastation, which was 3600 years ago. It was one of the 
			companions of Nibiru that did the damage to Earth.
 
				Martin: A companion?
 McCanney: A companion; it was the one that became 
				Venus. 
				
				Velikovsky 
			was very right that Venus was a huge comet that worked its way 
			through the solar system, and it took about a 600-year period from 
			the time it was captured by Jupiter to the time it encountered 
				Earth, and then worked its way in to become the planet that we know 
			today.
 
				So, originally what happened, and 
				Hale-Bopp was here about 4200 
			years ago, and Venus was captured by Jupiter
				about 4200 years ago. 
			They were, literally, smaller companions to Nibiru.
 
				And so, it’s very clear in 
	
				the Koldrin Bible—let me see if I can 
			find that right here, right now. The Koldrin Bible is the Old 
			Testament that has been kept by the Caldeans in Northern 
			Scotland. They moved there from Rome when Christ was around.
				Joseph 
			of Aramatheia, who was Christ’s stepfather, kept the Koldrin Bible 
			and handed it down, and it’s just in a very small placement and 
			group of people who kept it.
 Here it is, I found it. I’m going to read a couple of passages here.
 
				Koldrin is one of the 
				purist versions of the Old Testament. And this 
			is from “The Deluge”, Chapter 4, from the Book Of Gleanings. Chapter 
			4 is titled “The Deluge”, so this is where it gets into the flood, 
			paragraph 24:
 
					
					“There, riding on a black rolling cloud, came 
					the 
			destroyer.” That is 
					
					Nibiru. “Newly released from the confines of the 
			sky, and she raced about the Heavens for it was her day of 
			judgment.” 
				Now, this is the line I wanted you to notice here:  
					
					“The beast with 
			her opened its mouth and belched forth fire and hot stones and vile 
			smoke; it covered the whole sky above and the meeting place of Earth 
			and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening the places of the 
			stars were changed, they rolled across the skies to new stations; 
			then the flood waters came.” 
				That’s why they didn’t want anybody to know about the companion, 
			because they knew it was on a collision course with Earth, and they 
			knew it was the companion to the bigger one that caused the problem. 
			But they didn’t realize that Hale-Bopp was, literally, one of the 
			companions itself. Now, when the destroyer, the big guy comes in, Nibiru, it has an 
			entire entourage of these things. 
				Martin: I guess 
				
				Comet NEAT would be one of those?
 McCanney: And that’s the thing. When we got barraged a few weeks ago by all these comets, and they 
			never announced Comet NEAT, C-2002/V1, clearly all of this stuff is 
			coming from the Southern Hemisphere.
 
				Then, of course, Harrington knew very well where that was, for the 
			reasons that I gave; they were pulling down on the planets Uranus 
			and Neptune. It’s interesting to note that when the story of 
			Harrington came out, the government tried to make a statement 
			through some of these astronomers that are on the radio; the 
			disinformation guys came up with a story:
 
					
					“Oh, well, we have 
			corrected the masses of those planets due to new information, so 
			that has taken care of that problem.” 
				Well, no, that doesn’t correct anything when you see these planets 
			being pulled down. That would only correct things in the plane of 
			the planets. This object was big enough—back in 1991—it was pulling 
				Uranus and Neptune down out of their orbit; that’s how big this 
			thing is! So, you see the concern over the companion. Because they 
			all know, and the Vatican knows, that it was the companion that did 
			the damage the last time.  
				  
				The only problem is, the companion became 
			the Planet Venus. What they don’t understand is that it’s a very 
			difficult thing to produce the orbits for these, and NASA is 
			learning that the hard way. They couldn’t keep track of Hale-Bopp; 
			it changed on a daily basis. That was one thing we did in The 
			Millennium Group was track the daily changing of its orbit, on the 
			government ephemeris pages.   
				Martin: Was Comet NEAT a surprise? Did 
			that come out of nowhere, or did they expect that?McCanney: No—Comet NEAT is another VERY large nucleus, planetary 
			size, probably the size of our Moon, at least, probably larger. 
				NASA 
			knew it was coming. They probably saw it coming in years ago, as 
			part of this entourage of things that are coming in, that I think of 
			as things that are coming in as part of the Planet X entourage.
 
				  
				They 
			didn’t want anybody to know about it, for the simple reason they 
			knew it was going to come in right around the Sun, and it was big, 
			and they probably never expected it to become as bright as it did. 
			But it was, literally, visible in the daytime sky, right next to the 
			Sun, as it passed—over about a 12-hour period when it was coming in. 
				   
				Martin: The media blackout on that was deafening.McCanney: [Laughter] Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. Yep.
 
				Martin: I have the SOHO updates as my computer screen-saver, so 
			daily I get the updated images of the Sun. I happened to be looking 
			at the computer when it started to come in. So, as it was happening, 
			I was seeing the images, and I was just stunned at the size of that 
			thing.
 
				McCanney: Then they’re saying: “The nucleus was half-a-mile 
			across.” 
				Martin: Bullshit.
 McCanney: Bullshit, yeah. IT WAS PLANETARY IN SIZE! That’s why, on 
			my home-page now, on the very top, I originally said: “Welcome Hale-Bopp, 
			the newest planetary member of our solar system.” And that’s part of 
			my Harrington Expedition goal.
 
				  
				I know at this point that the coma of Hale-Bopp has thinned out enough where you could actually see the 
			nucleus. It, actually, was like that maybe a year and a half ago. 
			But I’ll be able to, with a good photograph, over two successive 
			nights, I’ll be able to identify which object it is in the 
			star-pattern. With the calculation of the amount of light that’s 
			being reflected off of it, I can make a good estimate of its size. 
				Martin: The obvious question is: How many more of these companions 
			can we look forward to?
 McCanney: We don’t know. And, of course, 
				NASA would have a very good 
			knowledge of this. The other thing that I want to say about 
				Hale-Bopp, just one last 
			thing, is that in the six-year period from 1991 to 1996, where it 
			actually hits perihelion with the Sun, it lost three months time in 
			arriving, due to the tail-drag of the huge comet. That’s why we 
			didn’t have the direct collision with it.
 
				  
				And when I mean direct 
			collision, I don’t mean hitting Earth, but we would have been within 
			about one million miles. By anybody’s standard, it would have been 
			total devastation of this planet. The flooding would have been 
			enormous. It was only due to the fact that this thing slowed down 
			that we missed it. So, that’s the other half of Hale-Bopp. We were 
			in May, and NASA came out and said: “Oh, all these silly people 
			talking about this comet; it’s just a little snowball.” 
				And that’s what they’re doing with 
				Comet NEAT. I saw a posting just 
			today on CNN, if you click on the space-science section on the web, 
			you’ll see a story, the lead story is All The Funny Things That 
			Amateurs Are Seeing, like unidentified flying objects and this kind 
			of thing. But when you pull it up, there’s actually a picture of NEAT there. Then they’re saying: “Even amateurs can look for these 
			little snowballs.”
 
				Martin: [Laughter]
 McCanney: [Laughter] It’s just there way; it’s just 
				TOTAL 
			disinformation.
   
				Martin: Obviously you’ve confronted 
				NASA a zillion 
			times. How do they respond to you when you confront them with 
			knowledge?McCanney: Two things. They really don’t know what’s going on. They 
			don’t have a clue. You can still talk to the astronomers, and 
			they’re talking about dirty snowballs and neutrals, and they go 
			through all of the jargon. They, obviously, are in total denial 
			because NEAT in no way in the world—people, amateurs were looking at 
			it in UV [the ultraviolet part of the light spectrum, above visible 
			light in frequency, and of shorter wavelength]. Now, ok, here is a 
			comet, 93 million miles away, next to the Sun, and amateurs are able 
			to view it.
 
				Now, ultraviolet is pretty much blocked
			out by our atmosphere. The Sun’s UV rays
			get through because it’s the Sun; it’s
			cranking out a lot of energy. But, for a
			comet next to the Sun to be visible in UV
			under our blanket of atmosphere is
			absolutely unheard of.
 
				Martin: I guess another question
			would be: where is NEAT going?
 McCanney: NEAT headed back out. That is object number four of my 
				South American Harrington Expedition, to rechart the new orbit for NEAT, because it clearly lost a lot of its energy as it came around 
			the Sun, as it picked up a lot of tail material.
 
				So, it’s not going to come and hit Earth. That’s what 
				NASA always 
			says: “Oh, these people think it’s going to hit Earth.” No, no, 
			nobody said anything about it hitting Earth. They try to make fun of 
			people, and in fact, they actually have people who set up those 
			stories on the Internet so they can go make fun of them. It’s part 
			of their disinformation campaign.
 
				Martin: When a comet the size of NEAT, or a planet the size of NEAT, 
			swings by our Sun, how does “action at a distance” come into play?
 McCanney: The flare that came off [the Sun] that you see in many of 
			the photos, that came and hit the back side of the comet tail.
 
				Martin: The HUGE flare?
 McCanney: Space is a very big place.
 
				Martin: The 5-million-mile flare?
 McCanney: Yes. Now, if that were to come at Earth, it would have 
			knocked us to our knees. But it went off in a totally obscure 
			direction.
 
				Let’s look at something else: What you didn’t see there, but I could 
			see it coming off of NEAT, if you look very closely you’ll see a 
			pin-thin streak coming directly away from the Sun, through the 
			nucleus, and out away from the nucleus out the right of the screen. 
			That’s connecting with Planet Mercury.
 
				Mercury was in a direct alignment with
				NEAT as it came across the ecliptic, the plane of the planets. That 
			line, that you can actually see on solar photographs, is connecting 
			to Mercury.
 
				So, now, let’s put Earth over there. What if 
				Earth was over 90º 
			around, and we were not broadside to it? Then, we could have very 
			easily been in a position to take that flare, for example, or take 
			an electrical discharge directly from NEAT. That is what 
				the 
			ancients talked about with the comets, the lightning bolts flying 
			across the heavens; they saw these things—Zeus throwing lightning 
			bolts to Mars. They saw this stuff.
 
				Martin: It was literal; 
				it wasn’t
			metaphorical.
 McCanney: No, it was not
			metaphorical. And, of course, now, thousands of years later, 
			everybody wants to make it into mythology. Mythology is the study of 
			false sightings, almost, whereas these people really saw this stuff.
 
				  
				When Venus came around Mars, it lashed out with an electrical 
			discharge and the auroras in the atmosphere of Mars lit-up, and it 
			looked like a snake grabbing Mars. It, literally, sucked the oceans 
			and atmosphere off of Mars as it passed by. And they saw this. They 
			knew that Mars, prior to that, was a water planet, was a blue 
			planet, just like Earth. 
				And these scientists are going out there—let’s talk about a little 
			obvious science, right now. NASA is looking for 
				water on Mars. 
			There’s the oceans, there’s the erosion, there’s river beds, 
			everything a water planet should have in terms of markings are on 
			Mars, but there’s no ocean, or streams, or rivers, and the 
			atmosphere is very thin. NASA is saying: “Oh, it’s in the ground from permafrost.” First of all, do you 
			think, after being there for millions of years, all of a sudden the 
			ocean just sank into the ground? How ridiculous is that?
 
				Martin: [Laughter]
 McCanney: Ok. Secondly, you need a very extensive atmosphere to hold 
			that ocean in place for those millions of years. So, did the 
			atmosphere sink into the ground, too? Clearly, I mean, if you just 
			attack it on very basic, rudimentary principles, a kindergarten 
			student would not believe their story. But, they’re sending 
			spacecraft up there, digging around in the ground, expecting to find 
			permafrost where the ocean fell in. It’s absolutely ludicrous.
 
			[Editor’s note: It’s ludicrous IF you accept 
			NASA’s reasons at face 
			value for why they’re sending “digging” equipment to Mars. But since 
			they’ve never told us the truth about any of the REAL activities 
			being conducted during Space Shuttle missions, there’s no reason to 
			believe what they state is actually why NASA is sending the 
			equipment to Mars. See note: 
			
            
            
			An Example Of Our Busy Universe] 
				
				And we have direct confirmation from the ancients who talked about 
				Mars having it’s ocean sucked-off by this massive comet 
				Venus. When 
			you look at the percentage chemical composition of Venus and 
				Mars, 
			the atmospheres are identical in composition, if you go 
			percentage-wise right down. Mars has a very thin atmosphere.
				Venus 
			has a massive atmosphere, thousands of times denser than Earth’s 
			atmosphere. But percentage-wise, the chemical composition of the 
			atmospheres of Venus and Mars are 
				exactly the same—which means they 
			were formed in the same boiling pot there, as they passed by each 
			other. 
				Martin: Would Venus be the planet that was referred to, in ancient 
			times, as Tiamet?
 McCanney: I don’t know. Velikovsky’s
				Venus is very accurate.
 
				Martin: I wanted to ask you about
				
				Velikovsky. You’re very similar to him in that he was given a hard 
			time, and ridiculed, and it turns out, he was right. My question to 
			you is: How is it, in the year 2003, to be a scientist who thinks 
			outside the box?
 McCanney: It’s a fact. There’s no question anymore that
				Velikovsky was right. And, I think the biggest thing that I want to say about
				Velikovsky, he was not studying astronomy. He was studying 
			CALENDARS! Velikovsky was studying the calendar. The whole purpose 
			of his study was to create a timeline that would—he was searching 
			for events that were worldwide in scope, in ancient history. He was 
			a very well trained person, much better than most modern Ph.D.s who 
			criticize him, in astronomy.
 
				What the modern astronomers, 
				
				Carl Sagan and all those people who 
			attacked him, what they never understood is that he wasn’t studying 
			planetary science. He wasn’t interpreting that information that he 
			got, to talk about our science, or comets, or solar systems, or 
			anything else. He was studying calendars. Ancient calendars were 
			clearly changed about 3600 years ago. There was a huge effort, all 
			over the world, and we see it in all of these cities.
 
				Let me talk about something else.
 
				There is a tremendous push, right now, in the dating of the 
				Mayan, 
			of the Egyptian, of the Chinese, of all of 
				the calendars that we 
			know around the world, and when some of these civilizations lived, 
			that’s totally misleading, especially the Mayans. I just read an 
			article today that talked about the Mayans, the Mayan demise at 
			around 800 A.D. to 900 A.D. Totally incorrect, absolutely totally 
			incorrect.
 
				
  Let’s look at
				Chichen Itza. Clearly it was built many thousands of 
			years ago. It was built based on the orbits of Venus. At any rate, 
			all that I’m saying is: On almost every front of knowledge, whether 
			it is geography, or geology, or history, or archeology, they’re 
			trying to present misinformation, literally, to basically fool the 
			public. 
				I just want to reiterate: Velikovsky
				was studying calendars, looking 
			for a timeline, an event so massive in world scope that it would be 
			recognized around the world, and he could then take Tibet, and 
				China, and Egypt, and Israel, and all of those ancient lands and put 
			them on a time scale where you could say this is an event.
 
				  
				How we 
			can go forward and backwards in time and build our calendar. That’s 
			what he was doing. And in doing so, he discovered that the event 
			that he was looking for was Venus, being a large comet, and 
				becoming 
			the planet Venus that we know today. 
				At any rate, I just wanted to make that clear that 
				Velikovsky is 
			very misunderstood, and that a planetary event is what he discovered 
			in his study of calendars.
 
				Martin: Let’s talk about your concept of 
				comets and plasma. What is 
			plasma?
 McCanney: Plasma is like a fourth
			state of matter. In a vacuum environment,
			where you have strictly gases and high
			energy—for example, a lot of light
			coming out of the Sun—that splits the
			atoms into free electrons, ions, neutral
			atoms, and other forms of energy, like
			stored magnetism, stored electric fields; that’s a plasma. And the interaction of all
			of these things is what you call plasma
			physics; that’s the study of that. That’s, literally, in a nutshell, 
			what plasma is.
   
				Martin: Let’s talk about comets.
			They’re not dirty snowballs. What are comets?McCanney: Let me start by saying this: For a long time, there was 
			somewhat of a feud in the astrophysics community between a guy named 
				Chapman and Hans Alfhen, from the Swedish Institute. 
				Chapman tells 
			that space was electrically neutral. Alfhen says, no, we can see 
			this plasma up there, it’s doing strange things, we don’t know what 
			causes all of this, but space is not electrically neutral; it’s very 
			much active electromagnetically.
 
				And then, the United States, of course, is where the money is. 
				Chapman won out, he was the American.
 There is a very simple physics problem
			that is taught to every graduate student in
			space science and astrophysics and
			physics. That is, if you take a charge and
			put it in outer space, very, very rapidly,
			and you can calculate how rapid this is,
			charge will come and surround it, and
			shield it, and will not allow it to be seen,
			electrically, in any other part of the
			Universe.
 
				  
				It’s a shielding property, and if
			you have a magnetic field out there for
			some reason, around an object, the same
			thing will happen; you get a plasma
			effect. And that, for example, is one
			reason why our gravity is known to be a
			force that is totally independent of electromagnetism, because these
			electromagnetic forces are so shielded that gravity “sees through 
			them” let’s say. Be that as it may, Chapman kind-of won this 
			theoretical battle. And so, for decades you had the Chapman 
			conferences, Chapman physics, which was taught in all the textbooks, 
			and all of these guys grew up thinking that space was electrically 
			neutral, because of that little problem that you could do as a 
			graduate student. 
				And I’ve done that. But what I realized,
			and apparently none of these other people
			realized, the data, as it started coming
			back from the space-probes, didn’t
			support that at all. There was a
			tremendous amount of electromagnetic activity out there, and that’s 
			when, in 1979, I was a young instructor at Cornell University, that 
			had access to all of this data coming in from Voyager spacecraft, 
			Pioneer and Voyager, as they went by 
				Jupiter and Saturn. That was 
			before NASA realized that they had to keep the data away from people 
			like me, who would interpret it differently than what they would 
			like to see.
 
				At any rate, the data was saying something totally different. 
				Very 
			bizarre electromagnetic things were being observed—spokes in 
			Saturn’s rings, tremendous electrical discharges, current rings of 
			millions of amperes floating around the planet. Things just didn’t 
			make sense. There was a proton wind. The thing that caught my 
			attention the most was that there was a proton wind coming off of 
			both Jupiter and Saturn, and that’s a satellite property that we 
			only see from the Sun.
 
				  
				It’s interesting that they only saw protons. 
			They didn’t see an electron wind that would neutralize that. So, 
			clearly, outer space was not what they were expecting. They were 
			expecting Jupiter to be an ice-cold frozen ball of hydrogen, very 
			sterile, and it was not. It was tremendously dynamic, had a huge 
			magnetic field. Literally, as they went out in front to Venus, as 
			they went out to all of the other planets, they were very different 
			than what they thought they would be. 
				So, at any rate, I happened to be at 
				Cornell at this time, and I had 
			already completed much of my theoretical work by that time, on 
			inclusion of electromagnetic fields and celestial mechanics. I 
			understood how these worked. When I saw this data coming in, I 
			recognized, out of my theoretical work and the data—and that, of 
			course, is something that none of these Chapman physics guys had any 
			clue about. They were still trying to imagine that these were 
			gravitational effects that they were seeing.
 
				  
				At that time I also 
			studied comets, as part of what I was doing. I realized that comets 
			could not possibly be these dirty snowball things. There is a lot of 
			data indicating that comets were interacting electrically with the 
			Sun, and were noticed to have had electrical discharges around them. 
			At the time, I didn’t know what caused the electric fields, but I 
			knew it had to be caused by the Sun. I knew that the comets were 
			interacting and that the nuclei of the comets were becoming 
			negatively charged. 
				Then, it finally dawned on me at that time, 1979-80, that this had 
			to be produced by a differential flow in the solar winds. In other 
			words, there were more protons in the solar winds than electrons. 
			That gave me a whole new model for fusion. That’s when I realized 
			that the fusion had to be up in the solar atmosphere, and not down 
			in the core. That’s when I realized that the corona of electrons 
			around the Sun was really a super-atom space, and that the Sun 
			itself was positively charged down below that, and up above that the 
			corona of electrons was actually making the Sun look negatively 
			charged to the outside.
 
				This whole complex phenomena of how the solar winds would open up 
			holes in the corona and come blasting out, was caused by 
			electrostatic acceleration of the protons as they moved out through 
			the corona. And that’s exactly what we’re viewing. And this whole 
			time, even up until today, NASA insists that the energy from the Sun 
			is coming from the core. Totally incorrect.
 
				When I was at Cornell, I met 
				Hans Bethe, Nobel Prize winning 
			physicist who created the model for the Sun that we now use. And, of 
			course, he was a friend of Albert Einstein, and they both won Nobel 
			Prizes. But Hans Bethe won the prize for the chemistry and the 
			understanding that the nuclear fusion model that we now, literally, 
			use today, and the chain reactions that would build up the bigger 
			atoms, and cause the heat. He made the initial calculations that the 
			heat of the Sun, and those kinds of things, would actually match 
			reality.
 
				But I sat and I talked to him about this. I talked to him about the 
			fact that the Solar System had to be electrically active, and that 
			comets were not dirty snowballs. And he looked at me and he knew, 
			and Einstein knew, that—one of Einstein’s last things he did was 
			very actively pursue 
				
				Velikovsky’s work because he knew that 
				general 
			relativity was missing something very big, and that was the 
			electromagnetic field.
 
				  
				You could not have gravity affecting light 
			without also having the electromagnetic field around stars affecting 
			light as well. He knew that those factors were missing from
				General 
			Relativity, and that’s what he was working on when he died. 
				Hans Bethe told me that’s what Einstein was working on, he was trying to 
			figure out that problem. I know he looked at me like: “I think this 
			kid has figured out what’s going on here.” I asked him:  
					
					“I’m having 
			trouble publishing. They’re taking away my ability to publish. Do 
			you have any suggestions for this?” 
				And he said:  
					
					“Try the German
			publications.”  
				And I did. My work
			eventually began to be published in the Netherlands. 
				Martin: That’s interesting. So, you had to go off-shore.
 McCanney: Yes, and there were two journals that were actually 
			published in the Netherlands, Astrophysics & Space Science and 
			another one called The Moon & The Planets. This was due to what
				Hans Bethe told me.
 
				Martin: Sounds like he gave you good advice.
 McCanney: Yes. But when this stuff started hitting the streets, the 
			people at Cornell freaked-out.
 
				Martin: Why is that?
 McCanney: Because I was using
			Cornell’s name, and I was using non
			Chapman physics with Cornell’s name on it. This was NOT what they 
			wanted to see. And, of course, when they got a hold of all of my 
			papers and ran them through the Space Science Department there, they 
			realized that what I was doing was corroborating Velikovsky’s story.
 
				Carl Sagan was Professor Emeritus of the Donald Duncan Chair of 
			Astronomy, a very exclusive seat of astronomy at Cornell. He was the 
			one who, basically, did-in Velikovsky. That’s why Sagan was famous. 
			Not many people understand that he led the charge against Velikovsky, 
			who was selling millions of books all over the world.
 
				  
				Sagan led the 
			charge that Velikovsky was a geologist and planetary scientist and 
			astronomer, and on and on, to prove, so to speak, that
				Velikovsky could not possibly be true. And that’s why
				Sagan eventually got the 
			COSMOS series, because he was the spokesperson for the astronomy 
			community that buried Velikovsky. Not more than two years later, I 
			show up at Cornell. I’m using their data to prove Velikovsky 
			correct. 
				Martin: I’m sure it went over like a lead balloon. [Laughter]
 McCanney: [Laughter] I didn’t understand any of this at that time. 
			Now I understand.
 
				Martin: So, you didn’t understand how “politically incorrect” that 
			was?
 McCanney: [Laughter] Yes.
 
				Martin: This is slightly off-point.
			Apparently we just had a passing of something called Enigma, which 
			was a black dwarf ?
 McCanney: Did you hear that there was actually something there, at 
			all?
 
				Martin: No. I was looking and
			looking, and I never saw anything.
 McCanney: No, there wasn’t anything. There again, when that first 
			came out, I looked at the webpage, I looked at the information, and 
			I said: “This is a NASA disinformation site.
 
				Martin: I wondered about that.
 McCanney: That was the first thing out of my mouth. You look at the 
			webpage, very well constructed. Here’s a guy, Chung, who has no 
			prior history of being involved in anything like this.
 
				Martin: And notice he’s the ONLY one making that statement, as far 
			as I can tell.
 
				McCanney: Yeah. He’s putting down 
				Planet X. You look 
			at his references and they are all NASA/JPL sites. The only non-NASA 
			site that he lists is 
				
				Zetatalk, which is, literally, a NASA site—the 
				Nancy Lieder site, which was built by NASA
				to create more 
			disinformation about the topic of 
				
				Planet X. 
				Martin: Let’s talk about 
				Planet X some more. I know you don’t like 
			to talk about time frames, but do you have any sense of it, at all? 
			Are we a year out? A hundred years out?
 McCanney: That I don’t know, and that’s what I want to find out with 
				The Harrington Expedition.
 
				Martin: So, you don’t have a sense of that, at this point?
 McCanney: I do, privately. I’m always afraid to speak of dates 
			because people try to hold you to that.
 
				Martin: Could you talk in general terms?
 McCanney: Ok. If history plays out correctly, let me say this: Hale-Bopp, 
			NEAT, and the other five comets that we saw in February.
 
				  
				We saw five 
			comets come in very close to the Sun—one was Kudo-Fujikawa, one was 
				NEAT V1, the other one was no name, it just came tunneling into the 
			side of the Sun at about 100 million miles an hour, and then there 
			was another small comet nucleus that tunneled up in the Sun on the 
			lower-left side of the picture, as you look at it, as NEAT passed on 
			below, and it was believed that was an object that was thrown off of 
			NEAT and tunneled down into a solar flare, and that’s where those 
			big balloon-shaped, long plasma tubes came out of the Sun, in 
			reaction to that.  
				  
				Ok, your question was Planet X. The 
				
				Hopi Indians 
			believed that Hale-Bopp [1995] was the Blue Kachina, which was the 
			precursor by about 10 years, of Planet X. And 10 years, of course, 
			is a very relative term there. The point is, what appears to be, if Hale-Bopp had been a companion of the Big Guy, 4200 years ago—and 
			that’s what the cycle is, not 3600 years, but 4200 years for Nibiru—then 
			we’re due here within the next decade. 
				Martin: Ok, that’s helpful.
 McCanney: And the other thing is, people are concentrating on this Planet X or Nibiru object. The thing I point out is, I study the 
			extra-Solar System objects. NEAT, for example, didn’t match anything 
			that we’ve seen before. It was a brand new comet. So, whether it was 
			related to Nibiru coming in, or not, is impossible to really say.
 
				Martin: So, really, it’s an unknown entity.
 McCanney: Right. The point is, there
			are hundreds, if not thousands, or
			hundreds of thousands of these big
			objects floating around out there. And
			that is something that NASA refuses to
			acknowledge. They keep talking about
			these comets as being a quarter of a mile
			across, or something. Well, you know and I know that NEAT was BIG. It wasn’t a
			half-mile across.
 
				  
				And just by the fact that NASA says that, any grade school kid
			would know that they are lying. Why are
			they lying? Because they want to
			downplay these big objects, which they’re
			now observing but they don’t have a
			theoretical place for them. And if they admitted that NEAT was planetary-sized,
			they would, basically, say: “Jim McCanney is right.” 
				Martin: What’s wrong with that?
 McCanney: [Laughter]
 
				Martin: I don’t see anything wrong with that.
 McCanney: Ask them; I don’t know.
			They seem to have a problem.
 
				Martin: They have a very large problem. Reality is knocking at their 
			door, and they’re not answering.
 McCanney: Yeah. There again, this goes back to the fact that—let’s 
			talk about NEAT. What if the public was aware that everybody was 
			saying:
 
					
					“Oh, look, the paper says go out at sunset tonight. Let’s 
			look at this comet go by the Sun.” 
				And all of sudden they’re standing there and what would be the first 
			thing that goes through everybody’s mind? “What if that thing came 
			near Earth?” 
				Martin: Right. “Oh, my God!”
 McCanney: I mean, wouldn’t that go through you mind?
 
				Martin: Sure.
 McCanney: Why do you think they didn’t announce it?
 
				Martin: The so-called “panic theory”.
 
				McCanney: Yeah. And then, that 
			logical deduction:  
					
					“If that came all of a sudden out of the blue, 
			could another one come out of the blue, at any time, and come by 
			Earth and affect it?”  
				And of course, that’s what I’m saying. That’s 
			the “action at a distance” thing. We don’t have to be hit by these 
			things. NASA keeps pounding on this: “If we’re HIT by one of these 
			thing.” No! It has nothing to do with necessarily actually being 
			hit. 
				If that flare would have hit us, come out and go out behind 
				NEAT, 
			you would have known it. There would probably be, in 5 years, 
			there’d be a lot of people dying of cancer, because that would have 
			blasted the magnetic field, would have torn away our magnetic 
			shield, and whoever was facing the Sun at that time would have been 
			toasted.
 
				It’s not well known, but back in the late 1990s—this I got from 
				Dmitriev, in fact—there was a solar flare that hit Earth, and we 
			were on the night-time side, at the time when the actual magnetic 
			field went to zero. Russia was pointed toward the 
				Sun, and they are 
			actually tracking cancer rates, right now in Russia, 
				based on that 
			flare.
   
				Martin: That’s amazing. This will get into an area that you 
			might not feel comfortable answering, but my wife was curious to 
			know, what effects on people will these vibrational changes have 
			over the next few years?McCanney: I would say two-fold.
 
				  
				There is very much a polarization 
			going on, right now, around the world. It’s literal in that the 
			people who are raising to higher consciousness of 
				understanding 
			where we fit in the universe, and that we have to come together in a 
			peaceful manner and stop using the resources on this Earth in a 
			totally careless manner. We have to provide for our future 
			generations.  
				  
				Those people are going to be elevated, way up. And 
			they’re going to be communicating on an almost mental, spiritual 
			level around the world, understanding that we cannot continue to 
			have petty Earth-wars, and put all our resources into this. 
				The other thing that’s apparent is, 
				time is a resource. We always 
			think—and NASA wants us to believe, too—that we have all of this 
			time. We have years and years and years—in that case, eons. And we 
			will only continue to advance and go forward. They don’t want to 
			talk about the fact that we have a very limited time resource to get 
			our act together here in dealing with these celestial storms; let’s 
			call them celestial hurricanes.
 
				  
				I think that would be a good word, 
			because they come sort-of randomly. You don’t know when they’re 
			going to form. They’re based on powers that are far beyond anything 
			that we can control. One of the biggest things that we have to get 
			rid of is this world-wide organization that is controlling the whole 
			world and keeping it, basically, in a slavery mode. 
				The other part of the pole is exactly that. The organizations, the 
				Catholic Church in the form of 
				the Vatican. I’m not talking about 
			the little local church, with the priest and the people worshipping 
				Christ. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the Vatican, 
				the top-down worldwide power source, and these elite families who 
			are keeping the world, basically, on a day-today, mouth-to-mouth 
			situation. And those people are going to become far worse in doing 
			what they’re doing. And we can see that happening right now.
 
				So, literally what’s going to happen is—and some of it is tuned to 
			the electrical fields that are caused when these things come in. So 
			when they talk about “rumors of war”, literally the people who are 
			that mindset are going to increase their war effort 100-fold. They 
			will be totally, totally dedicated to doing nothing but war and 
			destruction and killing.
 
				And the other half is going to be the people who are raising their 
			consciousness. They would have two possibilities: To try to go out 
			and kill the people who are causing all the wars. Well, obviously we 
			built this entire war machine, and you can’t fight it. It’s too 
			huge.
 
				And the people operating that would say: “Well, you’re trying to 
			ruin our defense.” It’s not defense anymore; it’s offense. They’re 
			going out and they’re going to have wars and wars and wars. They’re 
			already talking about the wars after the Iraq war, which would be 
				Iran next. The war is not going to end. And Bush
				said at the 
			beginning, he said this war is going to last forever.
 
				So, that is the polarity that is going to occur, and that is 
			actually part of both the prophecy and the reality. If you look at 
			what’s going on, there’s no doubt that all of this stuff is coming 
			to pass.
 
				Martin: Let’s talk about the 
				
				Schumann Frequency and arriving at 
				Zero 
			Point, as a planet. Do you see that happening? And, do you see these 
			celestial bodies as having an influence in that occurring?
 McCanney: You know, I talk with people who talk about 
				
				Zero Point energy and all this stuff, and I don’t personally—let me say this so 
			I can be politically correct here.
 
				Martin: You don’t have to be politically correct here. Let me 
			rephrase the question, it might be more comfortable for you. Let’s 
			talk about the shifting magnetic poles of Planet Earth, and how 
			these changes are affecting our magnetic poles?
 McCanney: First of all, the 
				magnetic field of the Earth is very much 
			misunderstood. Most of it is caused by currents that flow around the 
			Earth. It’s not caused by some kind of magnet in our core.
 
				The magnetic field that does come from
			our core, the permanent component of that magnetic field, is very loosely bound in
			iron and nickel deposits. It’s not like a
			little iron magnet that you would put in
			your pocket as a kid. Most of our magnetic
			field is in the form of electrical currents
			flowing around the planet in the solar wind,
			and in the Van Allen Belt, and in other
			forms—that’s our magnetic field. That’s
			why, when a very highly charged electromagnetic comet comes by, 
			that’s why it can very much affect us.
 
				The Russians—and this is a good time to mention this—it just 
			occurred to me, but the Russians did a study a number of years ago 
			on unborn fetuses. What they realized was, these unborn fetuses were 
			tuning-in to the electromagnetic rhythm of the cosmos.
 
				  
				This is like 
			what Dmitriev was talking about. They were very aware of the 
				electromagnetic part of our environment, where in the West here they 
			were still going “there is no such thing”. They weren’t even 
			building instruments to measure it, whereas the Russians were doing 
			this. That’s why, when the Russians got hold of my papers, they 
			flipped-out. They said: “This explains everything that we’ve been 
			seeing.” 
				Then they did statistical studies on the planetary alignments, and 
			things like that, relative to astrology. And, basically, they became 
			convinced that there was a very definite association with people, 
			and their lives, and the way they acted, and the planetary position. 
			They did this with not just humans, but plant life, animal life, and 
			on and on. They realized that there was something to this, but they 
			didn’t understand what it was.
 
				But when they realized that 
				all of the planets are discharging the 
			solar capacity that’s built-up around the Sun, due to excess current 
			of protons in the solar winds, as these planets came into 
			alignments, that increased the flow of currents along those paths. 
			And when you had many planets line-up, it increased the currents 
			100-fold, not just 2-fold.
 
				And so, as the Moon, for example, comes through a 
				New Moon and 
			passes away, for a short while, in the New Moon phase it’s blocking 
			the solar wind. But as it moves out of the way, that solar wind 
			comes pounding in and breaks our magnetic field down, causing 
			tremendous pressure on the atmosphere.
 
				So, the New Moon phase and the 
				Full Moon phase are times when the 
			Earth is being, basically, crushed under a lot of electromagnetic 
			pressure, just as one way of talking about it.
 
				So, all of these effects that you’re
			seeing are very real.
 
				When a big comet comes into the 
				solar system, breaks down the solar 
			electric field and starts driving this energy up in the Sun that 
			we’re seeing, then all of a sudden you get what I’m talking about 
			with this polarization. The people who are raising themselves to a 
				higher spiritual consciousness will raise much farther, and the 
			people who are intent on war will go out and beat the war drum much 
			more. And that’s what we’re seeing right now.
   
				Martin: What do you 
			think individuals will experience? Will people experience much more 
			disease, more out of balance, any theories?McCanney: Let’s talk about the 
				jet stream and weather. Everything 
			will become more erratic. We’re already seeing this. You’ll see 
			temperature swings that are much larger. And you’re going to see the 
			same thing in people. People who are not really in control of 
			themselves, you’re going to see becoming erratic; people who are 
			off-balance a little bit, become off balance a lot; people who are 
			very balanced become far more balanced. So, this is part of the 
			polarization.
 
				There’s not going to be anybody in the middle any more.
 
				Martin: Accentuating what is.
 McCanney: That’s right.
 
				Martin: Let’s get back to the 
				Zero Point, politically incorrect 
			subject.
 McCanney: Here is what I think is
			going on, and I learned this when I first
			met the Russian people. They would talk
			in terms—like Dimitriev talks about the
			
				vacuum domain
				— and that, to us, means
			outer space. And he has a lot of terms that
			he uses, and at first I said: “What’s he
			talking about here?” I just met another
			Russian in February when I was at the UFO
			Congress in Laughlin, Nevada.
 
				  
				I was the
			lead-off speaker at the conference. I spent
			some quality time with Dr. Valerie Uvarov
			from Russia [heads the Department for
			Investigation of Extraterrestrial
			Civilization under the hand of the
			Academy Sciences of Russia]. I
			interviewed him on my show. In fact, I did my radio show from there, 
			and I spent quite a bit of time talking to him. They are very, very 
			aware of this in Russia. In fact, that comes under his dominion as 
				Head of Security in Russia. 
				Martin: No kidding?
 McCanney: Yeah. And the fact that they are now having more 
				UFO 
			contacts. And I asked him off-line:
 
					
					“I know, for a fact, from the 
			feedback I get from our own ‘black-ops’ and ‘skunk works’ in this 
			country, of which I used to have input regarding electromagnetic 
			propulsion systems and how they work, like Star Wars, why they come 
			out and shoot down these rockets that are coming, because of 
			electromagnetic effects.”  
				People come and ask me about those kinds 
			of things, to see if I can help them understand it.  
				  
				And I told 
			Valerie this. I get this input because I’m in the loop. These people 
			come out of the woodwork and ask me. They say:  
					
					“Can you help us? Can 
			you explain this?” I said to Valerie: “What they don’t understand in 
			this country is, there’s a higher-level concept".  
				When you get up to 
			this kind of hardware—let’s call it hardware, because that’s what we 
			would call it in this country. In Russia, they wouldn’t call it 
			hardware because they understand the conceptual side of this. But 
			you can reverse-engineer, you can have all of the knowledge on how 
			this stuff works, and it will NEVER work properly if you have evil 
			intentions. 
				Martin: That’s right.
 McCanney: In this country they don’t understand that. When I told 
				Valerie this—
 
				Martin: There’s a Higher Force at play here.
 McCanney: His eyes got bigger than saucers. He said: “You understand 
			this!” He said: “You’re the first person in the West who understands 
			this concept!”
   
				Martin: Those things will not be allowed in space 
			with evil intent. It’s just not going to happen.McCanney: No.
 
				Martin: Not now, not ever.
 McCanney: No, absolutely. And the
			people in “black-ops” here have gone to
			the extent of going to the East and
			actually getting higher-level
			consciousness humans to come over there and stand next to their 
			spacecraft, to try to induce that into what they’re doing.
   
				Martin: 
			It’s not going to work.McCanney: [Laughter]
 
				Martin: You can’t deceive 
				Mother Nature; and you certainly can’t 
			deceive God and the entirety of Creation.
 McCanney: Yeah. Who do they think they’re fooling? By the way, I put 
			that there on my home page, the two comets flying into the flare. I 
			put that there for a reason, because every one of those “black-ops” 
			guys who goes there knows that picture, and they know the rumble 
			that went through the NSA, and those guys, when that happened. And 
			that was, that was a shot over the bow. It’s like, look what we can 
			do, and don’t screw around.
 
				And these guys still don’t get the
			message.
 
				Martin: They are really slow learners.
 
				McCanney: Yep, yep. And this 
			is something that is a real problem in the West, because Russia 
			already knows this. They have broken the ties with that kind of 
			philosophy and are moving on. Valerie told me; he said they are 
			accelerating, they are being contacted. He said, very plainly to me: 
			“Your country and the people in it will not be contacted until you 
			break that down.” Because this is like a lead weight on the planet, 
			this country. “Then you’ll start to progress.” It was just so 
			obvious. 
				And those [Russian] people are
			making great strides. It’s not because
			they have a hundred-billion-dollar
 budget. You don’t need money. These
			devices are not complicated. It’s very clear that the ancients had 
			space travel, and they had the understanding of how to 
			electromagnetically shield themselves as they moved throughout 
			space, and to move electromagnetically. All of this stuff is very 
			clear. It’s very clear that this planet was destroyed. The flood 
			came for a reason last time.
 
				Martin: Right.
 McCanney: Because there were people here who didn’t get it. So, I 
			don’t know how much of that you want to use.
 
				Martin: We’ve written about this for years, and our readers are well 
			aware of this. This is not news, believe it or not. We’ve said this 
			for years.
 McCanney: There again, how many groups could you really talk about 
			this to, and have them even have a clue as to what you’re talking 
			about.
 
				Martin: It’s right on point. It will not go over anyone’s head 
			[among our readers].
 
				McCanney: It’s a whole consciousness thing. I 
			keep saying, the idea of 
				
				Planet X—and that’s why 
				the government has 
			created Nancy Lieder: because they want a date when it’s NOT going 
			to happen. That’s why they created Enigma. They want a date, they 
			want a time. They want to go in the newspapers and on the media and 
			say: “Look at these crazy people. Look at all this stupid stuff 
			that’s coming out of the Internet. Listen to us, because we’re the 
			ones who will tell you the real story here.” 
			[Editor’s note: This is a good lesson
			illustrating how the disinformation
			machinery operates—at taxpayer
			expense—to mislead so many people searching for answers. It is 
			likewise a measure of the desperation these misfits are experiencing 
			as The Truth comes out anyway! ] 
				
				Martin: I notice that 
				Zecharia Sitchin is acting like somebody put a 
			lid on him. He’s VERY quiet.McCanney: I don’t know. I understand he had a little “talking to”.
 
				Martin: Do you mean after 
				Harrington died?
 McCanney: Actually, somewhat recently, in the last 3 years, 
			something like that. About 3 years ago he was very active on radio 
			shows and things, and all of a sudden it’s like the bottom fell out. 
			Apparently, they had a little discussion with him, and specifically 
			about Planet X, because that’s when the popularity of the topic was 
			growing.
 
				Martin: Do you think, the way the 
				magnetic poles are shifting now so 
			rapidly, do you think we’ll reach a point where the magnetic poles 
			actually do completely shift?
 McCanney: We’re tetering near a zero magnetic field all the time, 
			right now. They’re just not talking about it.
 
				Martin: Will there come a time when we actually reach 
				Zero Point?
 McCanney: We’re going through it all the time.
 
				Martin: So, we’re going back and forth?
 
				McCanney: Oh, yeah. We’re 
			doing this daily. 
				Martin: Now, do you think there is a point at which time ceases to 
			exist?
 
				McCanney: Time is a human construction. I mean, a clock is a 
			human construction. They need it for navigation. You called me at 
			the same time that I was going to be here. [Laughter] It’s a human 
			construction. 
				Martin: It’s also very 3rd dimensional.
 
				McCanney: Yeah. These events 
			are very normal. I liken what’s going on to the Arrowack Indians of 
			the East Antilles. When the White man first came over from Europe 
			and encountered these people, they worshipped their god Hurrican. 
				Hurrican was a god of the hurricanes, and of course, it’s very much 
			like what we’re dealing with here. These big storms would come 
			rolling through, totally out of their control, so they deified it, 
			so they invented the word hurrican. And then it was very 
			similar—sometimes they were very bad, sometimes they were totally 
			devastating, blew all the trees down and only a few people survived, 
			and they rebuilt. 
				So, we’re dealing with very much the same thing here. We’re 
			deifying. In fact, the Old Testament deifies all of the events that 
			happened from this planetary catastrophe. It’s so weird to see the 
			way they teach it, for example, in Christianity, modern Christianity 
			that is. Jesus was very much on-line when he was talking at the 
				Sermon On The Mount. They were asking the same questions. Go read 
			your Bible, the Sermon On The Mount. The people were asking the same 
			questions people are asking today. When is it going to come? What 
			should we do to prepare? It’s all there. The people 2,000 years ago 
			were saying the same thing.
 
				And he was saying the same thing. He knew it because he was raised 
			by Joseph of Arimathea, who had this old Bible, which had nothing in 
			it but the devastation and the flood. That’s what the whole Old 
			Testament is about, the rebuilding of society. It’s a textbook on 
			that devastation. Yet, we today talk about it in kind-of a dual 
			mode, in that God came down and did this, and saved Moses and all 
			the Israelites, the burning pillar of fire. Well, that was the 
			electrical discharge going up to the comet. And, of course, nobody 
			understood it. They thought God did all this, parted the Red Sea.
 
				If you go back into the legends of the 
				Jews, and read where they are 
			leaving Egypt, most of them died. This wasn’t a picnic. This wasn’t 
			like Hollywood makes it out. Mostly everybody died—the Pharaoh’s 
			kids, everybody died who made it through just this deluge of big 
			boulders burning out of the sky, a rain of fire and brimstone out of 
			the sky. These people were all burned, they were mostly deaf because 
			of the electrical discharges, and the lightning bolts, and the 
			tremendous thunderclaps. These people were a mess.
   
				Martin: I’ve read 
			a lot on the subject of Earth changes in the last 20 years. In a few 
			pages in your Earth Changes book you write more explicitly and 
			clearly, and in more frighteningly plain language than I’ve seen 
			anywhere. Your description is fantastic. [Refer back to some 
			passages shared just prior to the beginning of this interview.] I 
			have not seen anywhere the way you spell it out. It demystifies this 
			comet-interplanetary-tectonic enigma that has been put forth. It 
			makes the Gordon Michael Scallion map of the future Earth crystal 
			clear.McCanney: I had the fortunate experience of being at archeological 
			sites when they were dug-up. So, I saw the history being unearthed, 
			literally, as it came out of the ground.
 
				And the other one was to have the ability, as a scientist, as a 
			physicist, and being at Cornell, to see the data coming in from the 
			space probes, as it came in. You have to understand, if I weren’t 
			there at that time, all that data would have been lost.
 
				And then, I had the ability to not only see
			the data, enough to understand what it said,
			as I saw it, because there were hundreds of
			people who saw that data, but I was the
			only one who really knew what it meant.
   
				Martin: It seems like there 
			is a gigantic “black hole” centered right over NASA, and all of this 
			stuff just gets eaten-up and swallowed. Does anybody give a damn 
			working in that organization?McCanney: Nope.
 
				Martin: It really ticks me off to think about it. I guess I’m not 
			the only one. I’m sure you’ve had your moments with them. What a 
			waste of resource.
 McCanney: Literally. When you realize the value that has to be 
			coming out of that Department. That Agency is, literally, the most 
			critical thing for the human species that we have to be doing—and 
			that’s getting out, and learning how to live in outer space—but we 
			can’t do it with warfare equipment piled-up on top of these 
			spacecraft. It was in the wrong hands. NASA was supposed to be a 
			civilian agency, and it was immediately taken over. There was 
			in-fighting as to who would control NASA, and where the facilities 
			would be stationed, and who would get the cut of the pie. When you 
			realize all the things that went wrong with NASA, you can chalk it 
			up to one thing, two things, they go hand-in-hand: power and money.
   
				Martin: Sure, always.McCanney: It’s a total failure of our society, at a time when we 
			needed to make that last step. It’s like coming up a flight of 
			20,000 stairs, with people dying on the way, and wars, and famine, 
			and every possible difficulty you can image, and we get to the very 
			top step, and all of the steps that were taken before are total 
			failures because of money and greed at that top step. That’s what 
			happened.
 
				Martin: Do you have—I imagine you do, and probably can’t even 
			comment on this—do you have your own network of allies, who you can 
			exchange information with, in other parts of the world?
 McCanney: Oh, yeah, in OTHER parts of the world; but not in this 
			country. [Laughter]
 
				Martin: I’ve taken enough of your time already, but are there some 
			closing comments you’d like to make to our readers about this time, 
			where we’re moving, things to look for?
 McCanney: I would say, number one: The rest of the world is advancing far beyond the United States, in 
				consciousness, and in progress as a human species.
 
				The other thing I would say is: As a country, as a civilian 
			population, we have to grab hold of this country and turn it around 
			because, literally, the whole rest of the world depends on it. We 
			are at a stage, right now, that is equivalent to 1939, pre-World War 
			Two Hitler Germany. They did not turn that country around. And if we 
			don’t turn this country around, we’re going to be in a far bigger 
			world problem than World War Two ever thought of being.
 
				  
				You pile on 
			top of this, the very likely situation that a large, historically 
			known planet, Nibiru, is coming in with its entire entourage of 
			members, any one of which could be the thing that comes near us and 
			causes us serious damage, or goes near the Sun and throws off flares 
			and causes us serious damage, then we have squandered our resources. 
				 
				  
				We’ve squandered our physical resources, and we’ve squandered our 
			resource of time. So, in the judgment of the Universe, 
				we’ve 
			failed—as a civilization, as a society, as the most advanced 
			country, possibly, that the Earth has seen—we’ve failed. And there’s 
			still time, but precious little time, to recover.    
				Martin: That’s a 
			perfect place to end, unless you have something else to say. 
				 
				McCanney: No, I think that’s it. 
				Martin: Well, thank you so much. I really appreciate your being 
			willing to do this. You might be surprised at some of the 
			correspondence you’ll get from our readership, which is worldwide.
 McCanney: The thing I find is that you cannot measure the things 
			that are going on. The information, as it moves out, takes root.
 
				Martin: These things take on a life of their own, once they’re in 
			print. And they just go far and wide.
 McCanney: Great.
 
				Martin: It’s just really nice talking to you. I’m glad you’re on the 
			planet.
 McCanney: [Laughter] Thank you, it’s good to be here.
 
				Martin: [Laughter]
 McCanney: You know, I hope I stick around for a while.
 
				Martin: I hope you do, too. Thank you, so much.
 McCanney: Just keep me posted.
 
				Martin: I certainly will keep you
			posted. Thanks.
