30:27 the spaceships or the UFOs themselves are not physically there, they're some kind of astral projection or something at that nature as a means of visiting the planet or visiting it from wherever they're coming from rather than actually sending physical craft there. It's some kind of mental phenomenon if you will So we're talking a little bit about Artichoke and you also write about the Nine a bit. And when it comes to the political, corporate and military elite contacting non-human entities, the story of Andrea Pajaric, this seance with The Council Of Nine has gotta be one of my favorite stories. This group of elite contact these nine multi dimensional beings hovering in an invisible spaceship that want to influence world events which
31:12 We've talked about the basics of the story with Peter LaVenda and Gordon White, but you say that from your study the ties between The Nine and The Office Of Security And Project Artichoke are grossly underreported. So what can you tell us about that? Well, yeah again you know the office of security was of course the agency that had overseen Artichoke. It was not the TSS as is commonly claimed and another thing I should probably make a point here that i mean it's very rarely mentioned but Artichoke was not rolled into MKUltra. Artichoke continued to function after MKUltra was initiated and appears to have continued to at least the early 60s
31:56 probably was finally wrapped up around the same time that MKUltra was wrapping up in 1963. And then on top of that, Puharik has long been believed to have been involved in MKUltra and he does seem to have had some kind of ties to it but as both H.P. Albarella's Terrible Mistake and, oh gosh I can't remember the name of the other book right now but it is on the stage magician John Mulholland. It also makes clear from recovered Freedom Information Act documents that Puharik actually was involved with Artichoke and not MKUltra. And in point-of-fact, the MKUltra crew seems to have had some real
32:36 reluctancy towards Puharic's theories. And that also raises some interesting possibilities there, I mean Puharic when he began with psychic research and what have you he did it with the Roundtable group And the roundtable group certainly brought together an interesting cross section of kind of eastern establishment leads and military intelligence officers. You are from that was later brought into the deep state into the military and the cia behavior modification experiments, and then he did something that greatly upset john holland who was a stage musician
33:13 Who was a consultant from k ultra nobody really knows what exactly is the anyway in holland when out of his way to essentially drum out of the behavior modification experiments in the mid fifties And Holland was also very close to Nelson Rockefeller and as Chris Nolas kind of explained in his own account of the nine, Puharik would later run afoul of the Rockefellers in the 1980s as well with his attempts to try to come up with an alternative to oil or fuel. So Puharik seems to have had a lot of issues with the Rockefeller group over the years
33:50 That's not entirely surprising when you sort of look at what the Rockefeller supported in the new age community quote unquote they tend to seem to prefer the most. Well, basically they have usually gone with more of like the nuts and bolts explanations of UFO phenomenon And they almost seem to prefer a kind of atheistic approach the New Age movement typically stripping a lot of these spiritual practices that there you know innate spirituality and trying to Reduce them to almost like a psychological state but I'm going off topic But um any who? I think that there was definitely kind of a division in the deep state over pure heartache with some people kind of
34:30 I was feeling like what he was doing is incredibly radical, some people thinking it's totally fraudulent and that probably played into the way you know, kind of some of the shakeup that went in on these projects at the time. Of course Sydney Gottlieb was elevated to top litter with MKUltra and contrary to what you sort of hear, Gottlieb actually wound down a lot of LSD testing and what have you during his tenure as kinda main agency directing this kinda thing from 1955-63 And while he did investigate some degree of psychic phenomenon, what have you. It was not nearly to the extent that our show did So it was kind of an interesting situation where you had this kind of period from late 40's to the early 50's Where The military and CIA were really going into a lot very very strange topics Then when the Rockefeller money got involved with MKUltra in the mid-50's
35:30 they tended to start disengaging themselves from a lot of these projects until the mid-1960s when you had the initiation of MKOften and then later Grill Flame which eventually became Stargate and it kind of started back up again, which was around the same time that Piharik himself was brought back into the deep state with the Eric Geller phenomenon. So, there does seem to have been some kind of conflict between elements at the National Security Establishment over what to do with this kind of information that they were uncovering. And I suspect kind of a hard scientific wing just didn't
36:09 Even want to really deal with it if that makes any sense. Right I mean yeah parts is definitely a interesting character if you've ever seen that show one step beyond the episode he did with Gordon was somewhere they go down and they take magic mushrooms on the air on black-and-white television in an era where husband and wife couldn't even sleep in the same bed together. It was just such a weird thing to see on TV, and Pujaric yeah was into a lot of crazy stuff with The Nine being one of those favorite stories it's provocative idea but how far do you think the influence of those beings got?
