JOHN KEEL NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING

Aurogra online no prescription 1 mg This is the last of John Keel’s dossier on “Organized Harassment of Individuals.”  He conducted a bit of an investigation into some of his own phone problems, with some unexpected results.  I did, by the way, do some digging, and found that a James F. Ahern, the chief of police in New Haven, was convicted of illegal wiretapping from 1968 to 1970; his brothers, Stephen, John, and William, all police officers, were also implicated.  Apparently both criminals and political dissidents were targeted.  The elderly William Ahern that John found seems to have been much older.  A search for Joseph Tittel only turns up a contemporary medium, certainly an odd coincidence.

John Keel’s dossier on “organized harassment” of UFO witnesses and researchers continues, with a section on “photographic incidents” and a summation.  The Fate article he mentions, “UFO Report: The Sinister Men in Black,” does discuss those photographers, but, as the title indicates, is mostly devoted to MIB reports.

Following the summation, John included two photocopies, badly faded now: a memo on “Impersonations of Air Force Officers,” from Lt. General Hewitt T. Wheless, March 1, 1967, and a newspaper column by John from February 3, 1967.  I’ve darkened them; the column is legible, but the memo has pretty much evaporated.  I’ll post it anyway, so you don’t have to take my word for it.  This is not the end of the dossier; there are three more pages on John’s investigation of phone problems in NYC.  I’ll post them next time.

We continue with John Keel’s private dossier on “Organized Harassment of Individuals.”  The third part describes direct physical harassment, often by people impersonating military officers, salesmen, or missionaries.  He doesn’t name any of the witnesses; I suppose because he’s looking for patterns, either for his own clarification or that of other researchers, and not marshaling evidence for a general audience.

We continue with John Keel’s file on the harassment of ufologists; here’s more of his outline on unusual and intimidating mail.  An example of one of his letters from the “International Bankers” is here; a paste-up letter is here.

In the second part of this dossier, John turns to the postal problems reported by UFO researchers.

In this next part of John Keel’s dossier on harassment of UFO witnesses and researchers, he discusses the patterns of the calls, the manipulation of phone bills, and the people most likely to be targeted.  (The file consists of carbon copies of varying quality; sorry they’re not crisper…)

I’ll continue here with the file that John called “Organized Harassment of Individuals.”  This part details a number of types of telephone harassment.  John also went into this subject in Chapter 17 of The Mothman Prophecies, “Even the Bedouins Hate Their Telephone Company”; his files are filled with puzzling phone calls, cryptic letters, hoaxes, disinformation, and miscommunications of all kinds.  One note: WBAB was the radio station that employed contactee Jaye Paro; Moseley is James Moseley, editor of Saucer Smear, and occasional Keel nemesis.

In 1968, John compiled a dossier on “Organized Harassment of Individuals,” apparently not intended for publication.  He made a thorough analysis of reported techniques of telephone harassment, mail tampering, and physical encounters, particularly directed against UFO witnesses and researches.  I’ll post it a bit at a time, since it’s rather dense.  Here are the first two pages; next will come a section on “Hoax Phone Calls.”  And I’ll break it up from time to time with more of Mary Hyre’s letters, just for variety.
