		<description>Report on Alien Abductions and the Thought Screen Helmet by Inventor Michael Menkin

The Alien Incursion on the Earth

It's the worst thing that's happened to the human race, state one of the first persons to try my invention, the thought screen helmet.  He was referring to a relatively recent phenomenon which started around 1890, the taking of human beings by aliens from space.  Although the readers of this journal are familiar of this activity, I'd like to summarize it to some extent.

From what qualified investigators such as David Jacobs have found, there is a race of aliens from a distant planet, with a very advanced technology and knowledge of mental activity, which found its way to the earth and is preying on our race.  From what we have been able to learn, the aliens are taking both men and women and using their reproductive materials, eggs from women and sperm from men, to make a new race which retains their key alien characteristics while being able to live with humans on our planet.  This process is an act of subterfuge, the aliens do it in secret and are able to erase the short term memories of their victims so most of the victims remember little of what transpires.  The aliens are doing this all over the world.

Also from what we have learned, the aliens plan some final event, where they will dominate and control all of the human race.  So as one of my first abductees to wear a helmet said, it's the worst thing that has ever happened to the human race and the greatest threat to the human race.  The survival of our race on this planet depends on how we deal with this phenomenon and if we can effectively combat alien activity. I don't know what else to call it except that the survival of the human race depends on our ability to handle the problem.  At this writing, March 2008, we've had little success in stopping aliens.  But we have had enough success to encourage us to keep trying and sounding an alarm of alien activities.

Dealing with this problem has been made more difficult because all of the governments of the world, with the exception of Belgium, are hiding it.  Since alien activity is seen all over the world in the form of UFOs and as encounters on the ground, all governments must be aware of some kind of activity, but to what extent we really don't know.  Investigators such as Stanton Friedman have been instrumental in revealing some of the activities that governments do know about UFOs and alien activity. 

Our knowledge of alien activities is confounded by investigators who may be confused, have wishes of what they would like aliens to be, and those who provide misleading or false reports just for monetary gain.  There are a great mixture of all types of investigators in the UFO community.

Making Sense of Alien Behavior and Technology

My approach to the problem is that we must make sense of it, and we must use our existing science to understand it.  We cannot get confused with fantasy and fiction.  For example, the word “shape shifter” is a Hollywood writer's concocted term which was used on Start Trek.  It has no place in science, yet some investigators use it in an attempt to explain what is happening.  I have been working with abductees since 1998 and not one of them has reported seeing any kind of alien change it's shape. So let's distinguish ourselves from fictional terms and use science and established scientific terms.

To deal with this very frightening event, we must be as accurate and scientific as possible, even though the scientific community has turned its back to UFOs and alien abductions.  Jacques and Janine Vallee's book, Challenge to Science: the UFO Enigma, addresses the UFO phenomenon and the failure of science to deal with it.  But that does not mean that we should ignore science.  There are many examples throughout history of how people have successfully dealt with the unknown and made sense of the world around them. 

One of my favorite scientists is Antoine Lavoisier, the father of chemistry.  He dealt with the world around him by examining and studying the real events in substances and elements.  Lavoiser debunked the myth that water could turn into earth.  He gave us the theory of the conservation of matter, which laid the foundation for our understanding of our universe in many ways. He demonstrated that elements could not transmute into other elements.  

Another example is from my favorite doctor, Jean-Martin Charcot.  He was the first doctor to differentiate between mental disorders caused by emotion and those caused by physical impairment.  His studies and demonstrations of hysteria laid the foundation for Freud's work and for modern psychiatry and psychology. He also showed that Multiple Sclerosis is a physical, neurological disease.  So let's retain the visions and attitudes of the word’s great scientists in dealing with the greatest threat to the human race.  My approach to alien activities is that there is nothing magical or paranormal about what they do.  

Alien Abilities

The aliens have immense powers of the mind. That is where they are most advanced and baffle many investigators, abductees, and cause doubt in people with no knowledge of them.  Prof. David Jacobs explains alien telepathic abilities and development in detail on his website, ufoabduction.com 

Although they can travel great astronomical distances in short time, they still must obey the physical laws of the universe.  Ohm's law for us is Ohm's law for the aliens.  The law does not change, no matter who uses it.  My invention of the thought screen helmet, which uses a carbonized plastic with impedance for static electricity control, is a good example of that.  Its effectiveness proves that even alien technology obeys physical laws.  Other investigators must know that metals do not have impedance.  Velostat has special electrical properties for static electrical control which make it effective in blocking alien telepathic communication. 

This attitude towards aliens from space and science is mixed with my childhood experience of Science Fiction.  My father, Lawrence Menkin, created the first science fiction show for television in 1949, Captain Video.  It ran from 1949 to 1956.  At that time we were both interested in UFOs and read books on them.  I still have my 1955 copy of Flying Saucers Uncensored by Harold T. Wilkins and for what it's worth, an autographed copy of George Adamski's 1955 book, Inside the Space Ships.  My father got Mr. Adamski to autograph it for me.  Timothy Good, the author of Above Top Secret, the Worldwide UFO Cover Up, maintains that Adamski's photos of UFOs are authentic. 

When I decided to see what I could do about alien abductions, I began to study the subject.  One of the most intriguing authors I found was Major Donald E. Keyhoe, who wrote about UFOs in the 1950's. His book, Aliens from Space, The Real Story of Unidentified Flying Objects, is a classic book on UFOs.  Jet fighter pilots reported that the UFOs appeared to anticipate their maneuvers, indicating they understood our communications.  Keyhoe believed that they learned how to translate our language but since one of my specialties in technical writing is localization, working with translators for technical documents, I did not think that was possible.  After studying Keyhoe’s work, concluded that the aliens were telepathic.

The best comment on telepathy I can provide is from Dr. Theodor Reik in his book, Listening With The Third Ear: “We have long been aware that the acknowledgment of telepathy as a psychical phenomenon does not imply that higher powers are substituted for the dynamics of mental action.  It is not necessary to assume supernatural happenings because some small fragments of what goes on in the world are unexplained.  We need not give ourselves up to magic because the cause and effect of some process is unknown to us.  We must confess that our knowledge is not adequate to explain the phenomenon.  It does not become more explicable if we refer it back to some greater unknown factor.  When we want to drink a glass of milk, we have no need to buy a cow.  The psychological valuation of the efficacy of unknown or little known senses has brought us here to the limits of our subject.”

Which brings us to another author about telepathy, the science fiction writer, E.E. “doc” Smith, who had a PhD. In chemistry.  All of Smith's Gray Lensman novels were full of telepathy, telepathic encounters, mind control, telepathic people, and the use of telepathy as a weapon.  “Thought screens up, men.  We're going in to attack!” can be found throughout his science fiction series.  To combat telepathy and telepathic control of the villains, Smith had his hero, Kinnison, wear a thought screen.  It is from Smith's novels that I developed a real thought screen.  So my work is a combination of both fiction and science.  I developed a real thought screen from both scientific observation and a fictional idea.  

Thought Screen Helmet Development

A working thought screen came about by trial and error.  At the time I developed the thought screen helmet, I was a technical writer working for Panasonic Avionics in Bothell, Washington, which is the main American repair center for all of the company's In-Flight Entertainment Equipment.  The facility is close to the Boeing 747 plant in Everett, Washington, where I now work in Network Avionics systems.  I interfaced with engineers and technicians on a daily basis and asked many questions about all kinds of conductive materials used in the manufacture and repair of Panasonic Entertainment equipment.

With the help of investigators Marilyn Ruben, Roger Leir, Kenneth Cherry, Scott Vought, and David Jacobs I found people who were abducted who were willing to try my invention.  I made hats with different materials and sent them to abductees to try. After trying aluminum foil and the metalized plastic used to make static electricity bags, I found a material which is effective.  It is called Velostat and is made by 3M.  It is a carbonized polyolefin which means it is the type of plastic that can be stretched and formed when heated.  I found this capability to be advantageous because the new helmets I make have Velostat which is heated and then molded to the head, which make a tight fighting thought screen helmet.  It takes a long time to heat and stretch each sheet of Velostat and insert in into the helmet.  Thought screens using 8 sheets of Velostat take almost four hours to make.  

The first helmets using Velostat just had the material placed inside sheet by sheet.  it was only several years later that I started to heat the Velostat and mold it.

The successful thought screen helmets first had eight sheets of Velostat.  The hats are called helmets because a helmet is worn for protecting the head from injury, a hat is not.  In this case, the helmet protects the whole person.

Since an abductee who was trying to resist alien-hybrid abductees, who I will discuss later, indicated headache and nausea with an eight sheet helmet, I started making helmets with 12 sheets in 2007, which are more effective but take almost six hours to make.  I use leather hats because I can stretch the Velostat over my head easily with the hat after the Velostat is heated.  A  technician from the United Kingdom found that the impedance of the Velostat changes when it melts, which is a fairly low temperature.  That may change the shielding capacity of the Velostat.  For that reason instructions for heating and forming Velostat are not on my website.  I also don’t want people to be burned.  To mold the helmets over your head the way I make them, you also need hair on your head if you are going to heat the Velostat. 

Since I had a full time job and limited time, I decided to put instructions for making a thought screen helmet on the Internet.  My stopabductions.com, has the same instructions for making thought screens that it had in May of 2000 when it was first put on the internet..  It has been embellished to establish that it is an authentic site and the helmet is a real device that works.

Current Situation

At this time I'm stating that I don't consider myself a UFO or alien abduction investigator.  I've never interviewed anybody wearing a thought screen helmet or any person claiming to be abducted by aliens in person and I have never published such accounts.  I have never worked directly with any investigator or hypnotist, although many alien abduction investigators have helped me.  I also have a full time job with a long commute so I have limited time to interview people.  I lack the money to travel and interview abductees as well.

It's also very dangerous to combat aliens from space, with their far superior mind abilities, knowledge of our mind functions, and their very advanced technology.  I feel that I am in danger for combating them, especially from what they do to some people who successfully resist  them, which will be discussed later. Therefore I play it safe and keep my distance.  Except for the first abductee I worked with, who I have lost contact with, I have never met anybody directly who wears a thought screen helmet that I made for them.  All of the abductees with helmets have no mental image of where I live or what I look like except for photographs of me on the internet.  I am just a voice on the phone to them.

I do interview each abductee to decide if they need a thought screen helmet. I used the criteria established by David Jacobs and Roger Leir.  I require the abductee to provide a phone number so I may call him or her.  I have found that the telephone is a good screening device, for the most part, only serious people give me their phone number.  Still, fewer than 60% of the people I interview receive helmets from me.

Work with Alien Abductees

Before I go further, I would like to state that I am limited in my time and capacity as an investigator.  It is hard to keep in contact with abductees over the years, especially when they move to another location.  Some abductees remain in contact with me, some do not.  Since I keep making more helmets, the list of abductees increases, making it more difficult to remain in touch with everybody who has a helmet.  Since abductees are aware that the aliens can read their minds, they are sometimes afraid to call me or to have me call them.  In some cases they remain in contact by email.  So what I report is limited by my ability to remain in contact with those who have thought screen helmets.  

I do not know how many people make thought screen helmets from my website.  I receive fewer than five emails a year from people who have actually made helmets using the site.  I also get very few emails from my other site, aliensandchildren.org, which features drawings of aliens made by children wearing thought screen helmets. After wearing helmets for a year, the children started to remember what happened to them. The mother sent me hundreds of drawings which I decided to put up on another website, aliens and children. I expected others to send me drawings of children's alien abductions but this has not happened, although the children’s parents say they see similar children's drawings in school but the teachers won't comment on the drawings.

So my actual knowledge of people with thought screen helmets is limited.  I do have enough accounts to be encouraged that the helmet works in many situations so I still make them and send them to abductees.  All of this work is with my own money.  It's much better for me to be nonprofit.  That way I earn people's trust so there is no profit on my part.  They know I am making helmets as a public service.  Also, since I tell them the helmet is experimental and they get it for free, there is no financial claim or responsibility.  I am not putting anything over on anybody.  They are volunteers who try it for free and in turn, provide me with information on its effectiveness. 

Types of aliens abducting humans

There may be more than one type of alien or alien culture abducting humans.  Although I can't interview people in person and I can't use hypnosis, multiple interviews over the phone with sincere people may indicate abductions by several types of aliens.

One man in Ohio reported multiple abductions by creatures very different than those reported by investigators such as Dave Jacobs and Budd Hopkins.  I originally talked to this man in spring of 2000.  He described tall creatures, about 7 feet tall, thin, with small eyes and elongated heads that spoke with a distinct language.  He called them “Meek-Moks” from the sounds they made with their language.  He also said they had a distinct smell.   He said they had arms longer in proportion to their bodies than humans.  He said that he was abducted many times by them.  

I subsequently sent him a helmet and a baseball cap.  Every several months I contact him to see how he is doing.  Through the years I've sent him several helmets and caps.  He reports that the abductions stopped since he started wearing the helmet.  Furthermore, he says that the only time he does not wear a helmet or cap is when he is in the shower or having sex with his wife.  She doesn't like the helmet on him all of the time but except for those times he wears it 24 hours and has been doing so since 2000!

In another case, a man in Florida described a four foot tall alien, somewhat humanoid with very different skin.  The several times I interviewed this man he described the alien's skin in great detail, consistently.  He said the skin of the alien was white, with small lumps and was sticky to the touch.  He called the skin “gumpy.”  After a long discussion I sent him a helmet which he also wears on a regular basis and said it worked, but he did not state if he wore it 24 hours a day.  In this writing I won't provide a detailed description of these aliens from the abductees because my main emphasis will be the effectiveness of the thought screen helmet. 

The remainder of the session will be about the thought screen helmet and the types of aliens reported by most investigators,  the small and large gray aliens, their creators and authority, the “Mantis” or praying mantis like aliens, and another group of aliens who work with them, the reptilian or snake skin aliens.

All of these aliens are drawn by a girl who was abducted by them but now wears a thought screen helmet almost all day long except for the time she is in school.  Those drawings are on a site I made just to show her and her brother's drawings of aliens, aliensandchildren.org.  I found the drawings to be very frightening and at first had trouble posting them in 2003.  I still need to write additional pages for that website explaining the meaning of each series of drawings.  Perhaps the drawings and their significance can be a separate article for the abduction journal.  They are actually the only indirect proof of alien abductions we have, outside of the accounts of the abductees.  The drawings provide a window of alien abduction activities with children.

The drawings show all types of the most common aliens and alien-hybrid children as well.  Short and tall gray aliens, “snake'skin” aliens and the “mantis” creatures.  One very interesting aspect of the drawings is one shows a “mantis creature” on all four limbs on the ground.  I have another abductee, without a helmet who just contacted me, who also says she has seen the mantis creatures on all four limbs on the ground!

In a case in Virginia, I sent two helmets to a woman and her daughter.  The woman said that the helmet did work, and she felt that she was no longer abducted but her daughter was reluctant to wear the helmet.  Subsequently the aliens kept threatening her daughter and telling her that something terrible would happen to her mother if she could not convince her mother to stop wearing the helmet. Eventually the mother gave in and stopped wearing the helmet and then both of them were taken.  Soon after the mother stopped wearing the helmet she said that she was also visited by a “snake-skin” or “reptilian” alien which was extremely frightening to her. The aliens have the “Star Trek” technology ability of actually beaming down and appearing in a home.  She said the snake skin alien visited her several times and scared her to death. They must be very frightening looking creatures.  She felt so threatened by the aliens that she decided to give up trying the helmet at all and put the two helmets in their original shipping boxes to return them to me.  She left them in the open boxes overnight and the following morning the helmets were gone, so we assumed that the aliens took them.

So far the aliens have taken ten thought screen helmets from abductees in America and Australia.   In one case they took a helmet which was in a box in a closet. In another case the aliens went all through an abductee’s house when she wasn't wearing them. She is a special case because she is a nurse who can't wear a hat at work and her mentally ill son who lives at home with her does not like her wearing thought screen helmets. The aliens took all four helmets I had made for her and eventually returned one of them.

In another case involving alien-hybrids being taught to drive by an abductee, the aliens went all through the hose looking everywhere and eventually found the helmet which she said she hid well.  Subsequently she put the new helmet I made for her in a locked cabinet and the aliens did not take it.  I found that the aliens will not take a helmet which is in a locked cabinet or other kind of enclosure.  So now I tell the new abductees who I send helmets to that they must have a container they can lock before I send them a helmet.  This strategy has worked since July of 2007.  The aliens do have limitations.  They won't break a lock to open a cabinet when searching for a helmet.  There is a page called Alien Capabilities and In capabilities on my other website, aliensandchildren.org which lists some other alien limitations. 

In the other cases of missing thought screen helmets, the abductees just report them missing.  A woman in New Jersey whom I have worked with for years phoned me early in 2008 to tell me that both the new helmet and baseball cap I made for her were missing, and that the pieces of paper where she had written my phone number and put it in her address book were also missing.  She contacted me through the email address on my website and I subsequently called her.  I will make here a new thought screen helmet and baseball cap because she contacts me about her experiences on a regular basis. 

The Aliens Who are the Threat to We Humans

For the rest of this article, when I refer to aliens I am referring to the gray aliens and their leaders, the “mantis creatures.”  I’ve only had one report of the “snake-skin” or reptilian aliens.  David Jacobs says the reptilian aliens are working with the gray aliens, which I had one abductee confirm. 

The aliens are also interested in the thought screen helmet itself.  A man in Canada who has been wearing thought screen helmets for five years reported then when he left the helmet on his bed and wore the baseball cap, a small triangular piece of Velostat had been cut from the inside of the helmet. I subsequently sent him pieces of Velostat to repair it.  This happened several times and he repaired it several times.  On another occasion, the aliens removed a piece of the leather hat from the outside.  They put the helmet back on the bed right in the middle, as if they wanted him to notice.  They did not take the helmet itself.  I subsequently made him two more helmets.  The last one has ten sheets of Velostat which he wears almost 24 hours a day.  He reports that he still sees lights outside his house in the night and feels the aliens are still around. 


Types of responses for people with thought screen helmets

One thing to keep in mind is that the abductees who contact me are aware that they are being abducted and want to do something to stop their abductions.  For the most part they are people who will put up a fight.  In a recent phone interview with an abductee, we discussed the fact that the aliens could read his mind and he said that he did not care, he was willing to fight them and try to stop them.  So the kind of people who get a helmet or request a helmet will fight.  

Joni Strother, whose children's drawings are on aliensandchildren.org, tells me every time she calls me that she is going to fight them and not give up.

With this in mind, there are five categories of people who try thought screen helmets. 

1. People who receive helmets after several interview and cannot be contacted afterwards.

About ten percent of the people who request thought screen helmets cannot be contacted afterwards, either by telephone or email.  All of these people live out of state so I can't see them if I wanted to.  This is very frustrating for me, because I can't determine what happened to them.  I can only assume that the aliens were able to prevent them from wearing the helmets and contacting me.

2. People who receive a helmet, wear it and are successfully harassed and threatened by the aliens.  I already discussed the Virginia case.  In 2000 I sent four early helmets using metalized plastic to Dr. Leir who had a family of abductees interested in stopping abductions.    These early helmets were not as effective as the Velostat ones and the aliens were able to eventually penetrate the helmets and influence the family of abductees to remove them.  After Dr. Leir told me about the situation, I offered to send a new batch of Velostat helmets which work better but he said the family was afraid of retribution by the aliens and did not want to try the new helmets. 

In another case,  a woman who is a nurse reported success with thought screens using Velostat.  She worked with Prof. Jacobs extensively so I was sure she is a real abductee.  She lives with her son who is mentally ill.  We think he may also be abducted but refuses to discuss it.  He doesn't like her wearing helmets and gets very upset when she does, so she can only wear it when she is in her bedroom.  She can't wear a cap or helmet at work.

One time she wore it successfully for several months and forgot to wear it one night.  She said six adult human-alien hybrids appeared in her house, two of them beat her and the four others looked on.  She subsequently went to the emergency room for treatment from her beating and was very shook up.  However, she was determined to fight them and continued to wear the helmet when she could.  This time the aliens took another tact and communicated to her that they would kill her dog if she continued to resist them.  She kept trying the helmet and the aliens killed her dog in retaliation.  She took her dog to the veterinarian and he told her that the dog's spinal cord had been cut internally and he could not determine how that happened.  She still fought the aliens with the helmet and she said she got two more dogs which the aliens also killed in sequence.  

The aliens continued to threaten her and make here sick.  When they did manage to take her when she was not wearing the helmet.  She is since getting sicker, spends some time in a wheel chair and has stopped wearing the helmet.

I have another case of a person who was also beaten by alien-hybrids when they forgot to wear their helmet.  I could not contact them after the beating so I think the aliens were successful in their threats.

Since I am the only investigator who reports these types of activities from abductees fighting aliens, I believe that I am the only one who has successfully stopped alien abductions.  I have other cases of aliens threatening and harassing abductees who wear the thought screen helmet.  That's one reason I am convinced that it works.  The aliens would not behave the way they do unless the helmet were effective.

In a situation involving the same woman, which is one of my few failures, the aliens wanted her blood to be transfused to an alien-hybrid who was sick.  The sick alien-hybrid was probably an off-spring of her (part human and part alien).  She wore the helmet successfully for several nights, then a “mantis creature” came down and woke her up from sleep and used what Prof. Jacobs calls “eye scan”  very close, face to face, and hypnotized her with the helmet on.  So the helmet can be overcome with direct “ mind scan” by mantis creatures although if a person is physically strong and not sick and weak as this woman is, the person may still be able to physically overcome the mantis creature and perhaps hit it and wound it.  This is the only case I have where a “mantis-creature” or leader came down to directly remove a helmet.  Evidentially the gray aliens don’t have the ability of their leader. 

3. People who receive a helmet, wear it successfully for at least six months, and then cease communication.  There are many abductees I have worked with who report success for some time, even years, then I can no longer contact them.  I can only assume that the aliens eventually got to them and either threatened them successfully or telepathically stopped them from wearing the helmet.  

The difficult thing about wearing the helmet is that once you start wearing, it, you must wear it as frequently as possible or the aliens will take you.  Many abductees have reported their experiences of being taken when leaving a shopping center during the day when they did not wear the helmet.  Every time an abductee is without the helmet is a time when they are vulnerable to an abduction and/or alien harassment.

I have one case where an abductee was very consistent wearing the helmet.  He even wore a baseball cap when he went shopping.  One time he went shopping at Wal Mart and did not wear the helmet when he drove home.  He had two hours of missing time and said he thought he was abducted.  He went to Wal Mart and reviewed the security videos of him driving off but there was no evidence of him being taken from the videos.  He said that his abduction must have happened when he was out of range of Wal Mart’s video cameras.

Children who do not wear their helmets going to school or in school (most schools do not allow children to wear hats) are reported missing by the school authorities.  In one case the school has documentation that the girl was missing for 45 minutes during the lunch break.  This happened several times.  In other incidences she was missing from the time her mother dropped her off a block away on her way to school.  The authorities reported her an hour late but the mother said she was left at school on time.  So there are documented cases of both adults and children being taken and missing when they did not wear their thought screen helmets. 

4. People who have been wearing thought screen helmets almost 24 hours a day, every day for years.  This is my category of success and I have many abductees who do this, including men, women and children.  I am in contact with many of these abductees on a regular basis and speak to some several time a week, others I contact several times a month by phone or by email.

One thing that all successful abductees report is they can sleep normally after they start wearing the helmet.  They really like that fact that they can rest and are no longer afraid of being taken.  They also report that there are no indications that they have been taken, such as missing time, unusual marks on their bodies, an unusual illness, bruises on their body that they can't account for, and the have no experiences of finding themselves in a place they can't account for.

However, they also report that the aliens still try to abduct them and they see lights outside at night and also report seeing what they think is an alien outside or even in their doorway.  Many still feel vulnerable, as this man reports:  

“...And I have felt that they are increasing power, the pains are felt on the head. I assume  they are trying to penetrate the hats, there is no way I can tell if they have got through, there is that pain, there is lesser pain with the grounds inserted.
 
I think they can still read the mind with the hats on, as they target selected areas of the head they want to peer into, it's like they still can monitor brain activity or it maybe they are sending a signal when they are detecting body heat. I just don't know, it's as like the can see your every movement and I am sure there is something else which still brings them around to locate myself or other abductees. I think it's something to do with emotions or state of emotions they find interesting. I think their interest is emotion, the cause of emotion, the one thinks and reacts to emotions.”

Several other abductees report that they feel the aliens attempt to penetrate the helmet.  Some report nausea and a headache after wearing the hat for several hours, which may indicate that the aliens are increasing their transmission but still can't get through.  In response to this I now make helmets with twelve sheets of Velostat instead of eight, which abductees say is more effective.  These hats require a different make of leather hat and take me almost six hours to make.  Abductees do feel better wearing them.

Note that the abductee just quoted says he feels better then the helmet is grounded.  Initially I had reports of people with headaches, and/or a buzzing sound in their heads.  Some people said eventually these symptoms dissipated or they adapted to them.  In 2005 an abductee and her son, who was a technician, experimented in grounding the helmets.  They found that if a standard eight sheet helmet had two grounding wires, using insulated grounding wire with regular grounding rods, the buzzing sound they experienced and the headaches disappeared.  

The fact that the helmet works better when grounded also indicates that it does receive a microwave signal. The drawback to a ground is that you can only wear the helmet when sleeping because your movement is limited.  As a result of this finding I put grounding instructions on my website but I do not send helmets with grounds because the abductee must still install a regular grounding rod, which is a four foot long copper rod pounded into the ground.  So the thought screen helmet effectively intercepts and grounds out a microwave signal sent by aliens.  I assume they actually transmit the signal.

One thing the thought screen helmet has shown is the aliens communicate by some kind of microwave signal to their victims which is in the form of a telepathic communication.  It's indirect proof of alien communication and that the communication is a physical source.  It's not magic or paranormal.  It's similar to a cell phone transmission.  The aliens really hate the helmet and try different tactics to stop abductees from wearing it.  So far they have not been able to overcome it.  In the case below, even two adult alien-human hybrids removed a helmet from an abductee before they took her.  So even they cannot control her when she wears a helmet even though they are in the same room with her. 

5. Alien-Hybrid Activity

There are two failures from attempts to wear the helmets while dealing with alien-hybrids.

In the first case, Prof. Jacobs had a woman abductee who wanted to try the helmet.  After trying the leather helmet she said she was allergic to leather and could not wear it.  I then made a helmet using a cotton hard hat liner which had a velcro strap at the bottom.  Because of the design of the liner, I could not put the same area of Velostat into the liner that I could put into a leather hat so it had less protection.  

Although the liner may have worked initially, the woman wearing it let the hybrid pull it off, because it was only secured by a small velcro strap at the bottom and sent it back.  The woman sent it back. I replied that I would make another one using several straps that could be secured strongly but the woman did not want to try another hat.

In the second case, a frail woman abductee who walked with a cane tried wearing an eight sheet lined leather hat when confronted with two alien-human hybrids.  Unfortunately there was another investigator giving her directions on what do.  The woman was able to resist the alien-hybrids for several hours in a room at night, even when she felt they turned up their transmission and she had a headache and nausea.  Because of the naivety of the other investigator, the alien-hybrids lured her into an adjacent room where one was hiding behind a door.  She said at least one hybrid tackled her and the other forcedly removed the helmet. 

The following day the woman abductee said that the aliens went through her whole house and found the helmet and took it.  She thought she hid it well but they did find it.  We decided that for the next try, she would keep the new helmet in a locked cabinet.  

I made another helmet with twelve sheets of Velostat.  She felt it worked better when she wore it.  To prevent the alien-hybrids from using any kind of staring “mind-scan” technique, I also sent her motorcycle goggles with a tinted visor. I also decided on motorcycle goggles instead of sunglasses because they have a strap around the head so they are not easily removed.  The goggles proved to be effective. 

This time, she remained in the same room and she said at least two alien-hybrids tried to lure into the adjacent room by banging on the walls but she did not budge.   The aliens-hybrids did not come in through the open doorway and go after her and never faced her directly, so I think that the tinted goggles were effective. 

This is a very important fact because it demonstrates that tinted goggles do stop the alien-hybrids themselves from using any kind of mind-scan from their eyes.  It stops their hypnosis. 

After about two hours, she said that she thought the two alien-hybrids snuck up behind her, she was facing her computer, buy going through the wall in back of her (they can go through walls as part of their technology) and grabbed her.  Since she had just had back surgery she did not put up a fight and together both of the alien-hybrids managed to remove the helmet which was also secured with a strip of electrical tape.  What they had her do after that was to teach them how to drive her SUV on the highway!!  She is giving them driving lessons as part of their integration into our society.

This time they did not take the helmet in her house.  I did not ask her to return it because they aliens could have put some kind of tracing device on it.

Although both instances are failures, I also want to state that both abductees put up little, if any fight.  I do tell abductees that stopping aliens abductions is a fight and in addition to wearing the helmet as much as possible, they must fight as much as they can.  It's possible that if a person wears a thought screen helmet and has a gun or a rifle that they can shoot an alien-hybrid who tries to remove a helmet.  Neither of these women had any weapon and neither put up much of a fight although the woman in the second account tried to use some kind of aerosol spray because the aliens do not like perfume, but that did not work. 


The helmet and the UFO community

One result of the thought screen helmet was completely unexpected: much of the UFO community dislikes me because I have shown that aliens, alien activity and technology are not supernatural.  They aliens are not ghosts and they are not science fiction creatures who can change their shape.  The aliens are real, living creatures who still obey and use the physical laws of the universe.  The fact that Velostat which has impedance works also demonstrates that we can conduct transmission attenuation tests with the helmet and determine the nature of their transmissions.  I have not been able to get any engineers to help me with conducting tests.  In 2002 I worked with radio frequency engineers at Metawave, a wireless telephone smart antenna company in Washington State.  I told the engineers about the thought screen helmet but I could not get any of them to help me. The offer for help is still open and it is on my website, stopabductions.com.

Significance of the helmet

What does the success of the thought screen helmet mean?  It means several things.  If we are willing to wear the helmet all of the time, we can stop them. The aliens are not omnipotent as some investigators claim. The aliens also have emotions. They get very angry with people wearing thought screen helmets.

The helmet also indirectly proves that there is such a thing as telepathy and it is a physical force.  After all, EEG's measure electrical activity of the brain.  The helmet just takes it several steps further in dealing with a microwave transmission on the brain.

The additional fact that the helmet works better when it is grounded also indicates that it does intercept a real, physical, microwave signal. 

Anybody who can get Velostat can stop an alien abduction. That's why I have the website, stopabductions.com.  It provides directions on making one and lists sources for buying Velostat.  The main problem is that it's hard to buy Velostat by the yard.  Few suppliers sell it by the yard so it must be purchased by the $200 roll. You can’t  buy Velostat in a hardware store.  It’s only sold by companies that sell materials and parts to manufacturers of electronic products and components.  Some of them are on my website, stopabductions.com in the materials section. 

There is a similar material, called Linqstat made by a Canadian company, Caplinq.  They also have a factory in the Netherlands.  The company was formed in 2004 so it's fairly new.  It claims to be cheaper than Velostat but with the decreasing value of the dollar, it's only about 8% cheaper at this March, 2008 writing.

Real Figures

Professor Jacobs once asked me for real statistics on the success of the thought screen helmet.  I have not complied any because I can't maintain contact with every body who has received them, not just for the categories stated above but because I have a full time job with a long commute and I can't physically keep contact with all abductees who have a helmet.  The problem is exacerbated because the more helmets I make, the more people I have to maintain contact with, which is impossible for me to do.   So all I can say is that I have had enough success with the thought screen helmet all over the world to state that it does work under the right circumstances with real aliens but not with alien-hybrids who physically remove it.  I only have two cases of alien-hybrids physically removing a helmet.

I have a large backlog of abductees I have promised thought screen helmets to so I can't make any for other investigators.  They or their abductees must go to stopabudctions.com and see how to make one for themselves.  Until there is a great demand for them, I don't think anybody will make them and just sell them.  They also take a long time to make.  Unless you can spend a lot of money on a manufacturing plant, they will always take a long time, at least three hours, to make. On the other hand, they are cheap.  I can make a helmet with about $5.00 worth of Velostat, a $16.50 leather hat and 50 cents of tape.  I can make one from a $2.50 baseball cap but it does not work as well as a helmet and it can't be slept in. 
Where do I go from here?

Since I have limited time and a full time job, my main emphasis with alien abductions will be to keep making thought screen helmets and sending them to abductees for free to learn more about alien abductions and alien activities, and to obtain real proof of alien abductions if there is a situation where proof can be obtained.  There is a very interesting case of an alien being shot while stealing a pig from a barnyard in North Dakota.  It was documented in a recent MUFON Journal.  Two of the men now have twelve sheet helmets and baseball caps.  By the time this article is published, the third man will also have them.  Maybe this time they can do more than shoot an alien and get real proof.  At least that is my goal.

I believe the aliens took the pig, kept it and fed it for three months because they are trying to figure out how to feed us, once they invade and kill most of us.  The remaining humans they keep for genetic purposes must still be fed.  See The Threat by David Jacobs and my page on aliensandchildren.org, The Alien Plan for Humans.

The second thing I intend to do with the helmet, is make a contribution to medical science.  As an act of serendipity, I found that autistic children who consistently wear the helmet for at least three months start to improve.  I have several autistic children who wear the helmet, which I call a Burnett Hat, who have improved dramatically. The mother is convinced that the helmet has saved the children.  Although the above mentioned children are also abductees, I have one autistic child, who is not an abductee, who was mute and can now speak after wearing the hat for five months.  That was in 2003.  She still wears the hat but is not consistent and is still improving according to her father. 

I also have an abductee who was an epileptic.  In just three weeks of wearing the helmet his EEGs returned to normal.  After six months his seizures stopped, his last three EEG tests were normal and he now drives a car.  Every time he calls me he is ecstatic about the helmet.  But he also says he still sees lights outside his house and has seen an alien in a doorway in his house, although he is pretty sure he has not been abducted. 

I have another older woman who was also an epileptic who also tried a Burnett hat and her seizures decreased but she was in her 90's and had some dementia so we can't make a definite conclusion about her.  

In yet another case, a man who had a stroke said his mobility improved after wearing a helmet every day for three months.  Previous to wearing the helmet he could only use one hand and walked with difficulty.  After wearing the helmet he could use both hands and arms plus his walking was better.  However, he was embarrassed about telling his neurologist and would not pursue his improvement with the helmet further.  I’ve since lost contact with him. 

I plan on working with the University of Washington's Autism Center and Epilepsy center later this year if I can get the time to do it.

So that's where the whole human race is with alien abductions and the thought screen helmet.  We have the greatest threat to the human race in its history and as far as I know, we have one thing that can stop them, the thought screen helmet.

Michael Menkin</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Report on Alien Abductions and the Thought Screen Helmet by Inventor Michael Menkin</p>
<p>The Alien Incursion on the Earth</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the worst thing that&#8217;s happened to the human race, state one of the first persons to try my invention, the thought screen helmet.  He was referring to a relatively recent phenomenon which started around 1890, the taking of human beings by aliens from space.  Although the readers of this journal are familiar of this activity, I&#8217;d like to summarize it to some extent.</p>
<p>From what qualified investigators such as David Jacobs have found, there is a race of aliens from a distant planet, with a very advanced technology and knowledge of mental activity, which found its way to the earth and is preying on our race.  From what we have been able to learn, the aliens are taking both men and women and using their reproductive materials, eggs from women and sperm from men, to make a new race which retains their key alien characteristics while being able to live with humans on our planet.  This process is an act of subterfuge, the aliens do it in secret and are able to erase the short term memories of their victims so most of the victims remember little of what transpires.  The aliens are doing this all over the world.</p>
<p>Also from what we have learned, the aliens plan some final event, where they will dominate and control all of the human race.  So as one of my first abductees to wear a helmet said, it&#8217;s the worst thing that has ever happened to the human race and the greatest threat to the human race.  The survival of our race on this planet depends on how we deal with this phenomenon and if we can effectively combat alien activity. I don&#8217;t know what else to call it except that the survival of the human race depends on our ability to handle the problem.  At this writing, March 2008, we&#8217;ve had little success in stopping aliens.  But we have had enough success to encourage us to keep trying and sounding an alarm of alien activities.</p>
<p>Dealing with this problem has been made more difficult because all of the governments of the world, with the exception of Belgium, are hiding it.  Since alien activity is seen all over the world in the form of UFOs and as encounters on the ground, all governments must be aware of some kind of activity, but to what extent we really don&#8217;t know.  Investigators such as Stanton Friedman have been instrumental in revealing some of the activities that governments do know about UFOs and alien activity. </p>
<p>Our knowledge of alien activities is confounded by investigators who may be confused, have wishes of what they would like aliens to be, and those who provide misleading or false reports just for monetary gain.  There are a great mixture of all types of investigators in the UFO community.</p>
<p>Making Sense of Alien Behavior and Technology</p>
<p>My approach to the problem is that we must make sense of it, and we must use our existing science to understand it.  We cannot get confused with fantasy and fiction.  For example, the word “shape shifter” is a Hollywood writer&#8217;s concocted term which was used on Start Trek.  It has no place in science, yet some investigators use it in an attempt to explain what is happening.  I have been working with abductees since 1998 and not one of them has reported seeing any kind of alien change it&#8217;s shape. So let&#8217;s distinguish ourselves from fictional terms and use science and established scientific terms.</p>
<p>To deal with this very frightening event, we must be as accurate and scientific as possible, even though the scientific community has turned its back to UFOs and alien abductions.  Jacques and Janine Vallee&#8217;s book, Challenge to Science: the UFO Enigma, addresses the UFO phenomenon and the failure of science to deal with it.  But that does not mean that we should ignore science.  There are many examples throughout history of how people have successfully dealt with the unknown and made sense of the world around them. </p>
<p>One of my favorite scientists is Antoine Lavoisier, the father of chemistry.  He dealt with the world around him by examining and studying the real events in substances and elements.  Lavoiser debunked the myth that water could turn into earth.  He gave us the theory of the conservation of matter, which laid the foundation for our understanding of our universe in many ways. He demonstrated that elements could not transmute into other elements.  </p>
<p>Another example is from my favorite doctor, Jean-Martin Charcot.  He was the first doctor to differentiate between mental disorders caused by emotion and those caused by physical impairment.  His studies and demonstrations of hysteria laid the foundation for Freud&#8217;s work and for modern psychiatry and psychology. He also showed that Multiple Sclerosis is a physical, neurological disease.  So let&#8217;s retain the visions and attitudes of the word’s great scientists in dealing with the greatest threat to the human race.  My approach to alien activities is that there is nothing magical or paranormal about what they do.  </p>
<p>Alien Abilities</p>
<p>The aliens have immense powers of the mind. That is where they are most advanced and baffle many investigators, abductees, and cause doubt in people with no knowledge of them.  Prof. David Jacobs explains alien telepathic abilities and development in detail on his website, ufoabduction.com </p>
<p>Although they can travel great astronomical distances in short time, they still must obey the physical laws of the universe.  Ohm&#8217;s law for us is Ohm&#8217;s law for the aliens.  The law does not change, no matter who uses it.  My invention of the thought screen helmet, which uses a carbonized plastic with impedance for static electricity control, is a good example of that.  Its effectiveness proves that even alien technology obeys physical laws.  Other investigators must know that metals do not have impedance.  Velostat has special electrical properties for static electrical control which make it effective in blocking alien telepathic communication. </p>
<p>This attitude towards aliens from space and science is mixed with my childhood experience of Science Fiction.  My father, Lawrence Menkin, created the first science fiction show for television in 1949, Captain Video.  It ran from 1949 to 1956.  At that time we were both interested in UFOs and read books on them.  I still have my 1955 copy of Flying Saucers Uncensored by Harold T. Wilkins and for what it&#8217;s worth, an autographed copy of George Adamski&#8217;s 1955 book, Inside the Space Ships.  My father got Mr. Adamski to autograph it for me.  Timothy Good, the author of Above Top Secret, the Worldwide UFO Cover Up, maintains that Adamski&#8217;s photos of UFOs are authentic. </p>
<p>When I decided to see what I could do about alien abductions, I began to study the subject.  One of the most intriguing authors I found was Major Donald E. Keyhoe, who wrote about UFOs in the 1950&#8217;s. His book, Aliens from Space, The Real Story of Unidentified Flying Objects, is a classic book on UFOs.  Jet fighter pilots reported that the UFOs appeared to anticipate their maneuvers, indicating they understood our communications.  Keyhoe believed that they learned how to translate our language but since one of my specialties in technical writing is localization, working with translators for technical documents, I did not think that was possible.  After studying Keyhoe’s work, concluded that the aliens were telepathic.</p>
<p>The best comment on telepathy I can provide is from Dr. Theodor Reik in his book, Listening With The Third Ear: “We have long been aware that the acknowledgment of telepathy as a psychical phenomenon does not imply that higher powers are substituted for the dynamics of mental action.  It is not necessary to assume supernatural happenings because some small fragments of what goes on in the world are unexplained.  We need not give ourselves up to magic because the cause and effect of some process is unknown to us.  We must confess that our knowledge is not adequate to explain the phenomenon.  It does not become more explicable if we refer it back to some greater unknown factor.  When we want to drink a glass of milk, we have no need to buy a cow.  The psychological valuation of the efficacy of unknown or little known senses has brought us here to the limits of our subject.”</p>
<p>Which brings us to another author about telepathy, the science fiction writer, E.E. “doc” Smith, who had a PhD. In chemistry.  All of Smith&#8217;s Gray Lensman novels were full of telepathy, telepathic encounters, mind control, telepathic people, and the use of telepathy as a weapon.  “Thought screens up, men.  We&#8217;re going in to attack!” can be found throughout his science fiction series.  To combat telepathy and telepathic control of the villains, Smith had his hero, Kinnison, wear a thought screen.  It is from Smith&#8217;s novels that I developed a real thought screen.  So my work is a combination of both fiction and science.  I developed a real thought screen from both scientific observation and a fictional idea.  </p>
<p>Thought Screen Helmet Development</p>
<p>A working thought screen came about by trial and error.  At the time I developed the thought screen helmet, I was a technical writer working for Panasonic Avionics in Bothell, Washington, which is the main American repair center for all of the company&#8217;s In-Flight Entertainment Equipment.  The facility is close to the Boeing 747 plant in Everett, Washington, where I now work in Network Avionics systems.  I interfaced with engineers and technicians on a daily basis and asked many questions about all kinds of conductive materials used in the manufacture and repair of Panasonic Entertainment equipment.</p>
<p>With the help of investigators Marilyn Ruben, Roger Leir, Kenneth Cherry, Scott Vought, and David Jacobs I found people who were abducted who were willing to try my invention.  I made hats with different materials and sent them to abductees to try. After trying aluminum foil and the metalized plastic used to make static electricity bags, I found a material which is effective.  It is called Velostat and is made by 3M.  It is a carbonized polyolefin which means it is the type of plastic that can be stretched and formed when heated.  I found this capability to be advantageous because the new helmets I make have Velostat which is heated and then molded to the head, which make a tight fighting thought screen helmet.  It takes a long time to heat and stretch each sheet of Velostat and insert in into the helmet.  Thought screens using 8 sheets of Velostat take almost four hours to make.  </p>
<p>The first helmets using Velostat just had the material placed inside sheet by sheet.  it was only several years later that I started to heat the Velostat and mold it.</p>
<p>The successful thought screen helmets first had eight sheets of Velostat.  The hats are called helmets because a helmet is worn for protecting the head from injury, a hat is not.  In this case, the helmet protects the whole person.</p>
<p>Since an abductee who was trying to resist alien-hybrid abductees, who I will discuss later, indicated headache and nausea with an eight sheet helmet, I started making helmets with 12 sheets in 2007, which are more effective but take almost six hours to make.  I use leather hats because I can stretch the Velostat over my head easily with the hat after the Velostat is heated.  A  technician from the United Kingdom found that the impedance of the Velostat changes when it melts, which is a fairly low temperature.  That may change the shielding capacity of the Velostat.  For that reason instructions for heating and forming Velostat are not on my website.  I also don’t want people to be burned.  To mold the helmets over your head the way I make them, you also need hair on your head if you are going to heat the Velostat. </p>
<p>Since I had a full time job and limited time, I decided to put instructions for making a thought screen helmet on the Internet.  My stopabductions.com, has the same instructions for making thought screens that it had in May of 2000 when it was first put on the internet..  It has been embellished to establish that it is an authentic site and the helmet is a real device that works.</p>
<p>Current Situation</p>
<p>At this time I&#8217;m stating that I don&#8217;t consider myself a UFO or alien abduction investigator.  I&#8217;ve never interviewed anybody wearing a thought screen helmet or any person claiming to be abducted by aliens in person and I have never published such accounts.  I have never worked directly with any investigator or hypnotist, although many alien abduction investigators have helped me.  I also have a full time job with a long commute so I have limited time to interview people.  I lack the money to travel and interview abductees as well.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also very dangerous to combat aliens from space, with their far superior mind abilities, knowledge of our mind functions, and their very advanced technology.  I feel that I am in danger for combating them, especially from what they do to some people who successfully resist  them, which will be discussed later. Therefore I play it safe and keep my distance.  Except for the first abductee I worked with, who I have lost contact with, I have never met anybody directly who wears a thought screen helmet that I made for them.  All of the abductees with helmets have no mental image of where I live or what I look like except for photographs of me on the internet.  I am just a voice on the phone to them.</p>
<p>I do interview each abductee to decide if they need a thought screen helmet. I used the criteria established by David Jacobs and Roger Leir.  I require the abductee to provide a phone number so I may call him or her.  I have found that the telephone is a good screening device, for the most part, only serious people give me their phone number.  Still, fewer than 60% of the people I interview receive helmets from me.</p>
<p>Work with Alien Abductees</p>
<p>Before I go further, I would like to state that I am limited in my time and capacity as an investigator.  It is hard to keep in contact with abductees over the years, especially when they move to another location.  Some abductees remain in contact with me, some do not.  Since I keep making more helmets, the list of abductees increases, making it more difficult to remain in touch with everybody who has a helmet.  Since abductees are aware that the aliens can read their minds, they are sometimes afraid to call me or to have me call them.  In some cases they remain in contact by email.  So what I report is limited by my ability to remain in contact with those who have thought screen helmets.  </p>
<p>I do not know how many people make thought screen helmets from my website.  I receive fewer than five emails a year from people who have actually made helmets using the site.  I also get very few emails from my other site, aliensandchildren.org, which features drawings of aliens made by children wearing thought screen helmets. After wearing helmets for a year, the children started to remember what happened to them. The mother sent me hundreds of drawings which I decided to put up on another website, aliens and children. I expected others to send me drawings of children&#8217;s alien abductions but this has not happened, although the children’s parents say they see similar children&#8217;s drawings in school but the teachers won&#8217;t comment on the drawings.</p>
<p>So my actual knowledge of people with thought screen helmets is limited.  I do have enough accounts to be encouraged that the helmet works in many situations so I still make them and send them to abductees.  All of this work is with my own money.  It&#8217;s much better for me to be nonprofit.  That way I earn people&#8217;s trust so there is no profit on my part.  They know I am making helmets as a public service.  Also, since I tell them the helmet is experimental and they get it for free, there is no financial claim or responsibility.  I am not putting anything over on anybody.  They are volunteers who try it for free and in turn, provide me with information on its effectiveness. </p>
<p>Types of aliens abducting humans</p>
<p>There may be more than one type of alien or alien culture abducting humans.  Although I can&#8217;t interview people in person and I can&#8217;t use hypnosis, multiple interviews over the phone with sincere people may indicate abductions by several types of aliens.</p>
<p>One man in Ohio reported multiple abductions by creatures very different than those reported by investigators such as Dave Jacobs and Budd Hopkins.  I originally talked to this man in spring of 2000.  He described tall creatures, about 7 feet tall, thin, with small eyes and elongated heads that spoke with a distinct language.  He called them “Meek-Moks” from the sounds they made with their language.  He also said they had a distinct smell.   He said they had arms longer in proportion to their bodies than humans.  He said that he was abducted many times by them.  </p>
<p>I subsequently sent him a helmet and a baseball cap.  Every several months I contact him to see how he is doing.  Through the years I&#8217;ve sent him several helmets and caps.  He reports that the abductions stopped since he started wearing the helmet.  Furthermore, he says that the only time he does not wear a helmet or cap is when he is in the shower or having sex with his wife.  She doesn&#8217;t like the helmet on him all of the time but except for those times he wears it 24 hours and has been doing so since 2000!</p>
<p>In another case, a man in Florida described a four foot tall alien, somewhat humanoid with very different skin.  The several times I interviewed this man he described the alien&#8217;s skin in great detail, consistently.  He said the skin of the alien was white, with small lumps and was sticky to the touch.  He called the skin “gumpy.”  After a long discussion I sent him a helmet which he also wears on a regular basis and said it worked, but he did not state if he wore it 24 hours a day.  In this writing I won&#8217;t provide a detailed description of these aliens from the abductees because my main emphasis will be the effectiveness of the thought screen helmet. </p>
<p>The remainder of the session will be about the thought screen helmet and the types of aliens reported by most investigators,  the small and large gray aliens, their creators and authority, the “Mantis” or praying mantis like aliens, and another group of aliens who work with them, the reptilian or snake skin aliens.</p>
<p>All of these aliens are drawn by a girl who was abducted by them but now wears a thought screen helmet almost all day long except for the time she is in school.  Those drawings are on a site I made just to show her and her brother&#8217;s drawings of aliens, aliensandchildren.org.  I found the drawings to be very frightening and at first had trouble posting them in 2003.  I still need to write additional pages for that website explaining the meaning of each series of drawings.  Perhaps the drawings and their significance can be a separate article for the abduction journal.  They are actually the only indirect proof of alien abductions we have, outside of the accounts of the abductees.  The drawings provide a window of alien abduction activities with children.</p>
<p>The drawings show all types of the most common aliens and alien-hybrid children as well.  Short and tall gray aliens, “snake&#8217;skin” aliens and the “mantis” creatures.  One very interesting aspect of the drawings is one shows a “mantis creature” on all four limbs on the ground.  I have another abductee, without a helmet who just contacted me, who also says she has seen the mantis creatures on all four limbs on the ground!</p>
<p>In a case in Virginia, I sent two helmets to a woman and her daughter.  The woman said that the helmet did work, and she felt that she was no longer abducted but her daughter was reluctant to wear the helmet.  Subsequently the aliens kept threatening her daughter and telling her that something terrible would happen to her mother if she could not convince her mother to stop wearing the helmet. Eventually the mother gave in and stopped wearing the helmet and then both of them were taken.  Soon after the mother stopped wearing the helmet she said that she was also visited by a “snake-skin” or “reptilian” alien which was extremely frightening to her. The aliens have the “Star Trek” technology ability of actually beaming down and appearing in a home.  She said the snake skin alien visited her several times and scared her to death. They must be very frightening looking creatures.  She felt so threatened by the aliens that she decided to give up trying the helmet at all and put the two helmets in their original shipping boxes to return them to me.  She left them in the open boxes overnight and the following morning the helmets were gone, so we assumed that the aliens took them.</p>
<p>So far the aliens have taken ten thought screen helmets from abductees in America and Australia.   In one case they took a helmet which was in a box in a closet. In another case the aliens went all through an abductee’s house when she wasn&#8217;t wearing them. She is a special case because she is a nurse who can&#8217;t wear a hat at work and her mentally ill son who lives at home with her does not like her wearing thought screen helmets. The aliens took all four helmets I had made for her and eventually returned one of them.</p>
<p>In another case involving alien-hybrids being taught to drive by an abductee, the aliens went all through the hose looking everywhere and eventually found the helmet which she said she hid well.  Subsequently she put the new helmet I made for her in a locked cabinet and the aliens did not take it.  I found that the aliens will not take a helmet which is in a locked cabinet or other kind of enclosure.  So now I tell the new abductees who I send helmets to that they must have a container they can lock before I send them a helmet.  This strategy has worked since July of 2007.  The aliens do have limitations.  They won&#8217;t break a lock to open a cabinet when searching for a helmet.  There is a page called Alien Capabilities and In capabilities on my other website, aliensandchildren.org which lists some other alien limitations. </p>
<p>In the other cases of missing thought screen helmets, the abductees just report them missing.  A woman in New Jersey whom I have worked with for years phoned me early in 2008 to tell me that both the new helmet and baseball cap I made for her were missing, and that the pieces of paper where she had written my phone number and put it in her address book were also missing.  She contacted me through the email address on my website and I subsequently called her.  I will make here a new thought screen helmet and baseball cap because she contacts me about her experiences on a regular basis. </p>
<p>The Aliens Who are the Threat to We Humans</p>
<p>For the rest of this article, when I refer to aliens I am referring to the gray aliens and their leaders, the “mantis creatures.”  I’ve only had one report of the “snake-skin” or reptilian aliens.  David Jacobs says the reptilian aliens are working with the gray aliens, which I had one abductee confirm. </p>
<p>The aliens are also interested in the thought screen helmet itself.  A man in Canada who has been wearing thought screen helmets for five years reported then when he left the helmet on his bed and wore the baseball cap, a small triangular piece of Velostat had been cut from the inside of the helmet. I subsequently sent him pieces of Velostat to repair it.  This happened several times and he repaired it several times.  On another occasion, the aliens removed a piece of the leather hat from the outside.  They put the helmet back on the bed right in the middle, as if they wanted him to notice.  They did not take the helmet itself.  I subsequently made him two more helmets.  The last one has ten sheets of Velostat which he wears almost 24 hours a day.  He reports that he still sees lights outside his house in the night and feels the aliens are still around. </p>
<p>Types of responses for people with thought screen helmets</p>
<p>One thing to keep in mind is that the abductees who contact me are aware that they are being abducted and want to do something to stop their abductions.  For the most part they are people who will put up a fight.  In a recent phone interview with an abductee, we discussed the fact that the aliens could read his mind and he said that he did not care, he was willing to fight them and try to stop them.  So the kind of people who get a helmet or request a helmet will fight.  </p>
<p>Joni Strother, whose children&#8217;s drawings are on aliensandchildren.org, tells me every time she calls me that she is going to fight them and not give up.</p>
<p>With this in mind, there are five categories of people who try thought screen helmets. </p>
<p>1. People who receive helmets after several interview and cannot be contacted afterwards.</p>
<p>About ten percent of the people who request thought screen helmets cannot be contacted afterwards, either by telephone or email.  All of these people live out of state so I can&#8217;t see them if I wanted to.  This is very frustrating for me, because I can&#8217;t determine what happened to them.  I can only assume that the aliens were able to prevent them from wearing the helmets and contacting me.</p>
<p>2. People who receive a helmet, wear it and are successfully harassed and threatened by the aliens.  I already discussed the Virginia case.  In 2000 I sent four early helmets using metalized plastic to Dr. Leir who had a family of abductees interested in stopping abductions.    These early helmets were not as effective as the Velostat ones and the aliens were able to eventually penetrate the helmets and influence the family of abductees to remove them.  After Dr. Leir told me about the situation, I offered to send a new batch of Velostat helmets which work better but he said the family was afraid of retribution by the aliens and did not want to try the new helmets. </p>
<p>In another case,  a woman who is a nurse reported success with thought screens using Velostat.  She worked with Prof. Jacobs extensively so I was sure she is a real abductee.  She lives with her son who is mentally ill.  We think he may also be abducted but refuses to discuss it.  He doesn&#8217;t like her wearing helmets and gets very upset when she does, so she can only wear it when she is in her bedroom.  She can&#8217;t wear a cap or helmet at work.</p>
<p>One time she wore it successfully for several months and forgot to wear it one night.  She said six adult human-alien hybrids appeared in her house, two of them beat her and the four others looked on.  She subsequently went to the emergency room for treatment from her beating and was very shook up.  However, she was determined to fight them and continued to wear the helmet when she could.  This time the aliens took another tact and communicated to her that they would kill her dog if she continued to resist them.  She kept trying the helmet and the aliens killed her dog in retaliation.  She took her dog to the veterinarian and he told her that the dog&#8217;s spinal cord had been cut internally and he could not determine how that happened.  She still fought the aliens with the helmet and she said she got two more dogs which the aliens also killed in sequence.  </p>
<p>The aliens continued to threaten her and make here sick.  When they did manage to take her when she was not wearing the helmet.  She is since getting sicker, spends some time in a wheel chair and has stopped wearing the helmet.</p>
<p>I have another case of a person who was also beaten by alien-hybrids when they forgot to wear their helmet.  I could not contact them after the beating so I think the aliens were successful in their threats.</p>
<p>Since I am the only investigator who reports these types of activities from abductees fighting aliens, I believe that I am the only one who has successfully stopped alien abductions.  I have other cases of aliens threatening and harassing abductees who wear the thought screen helmet.  That&#8217;s one reason I am convinced that it works.  The aliens would not behave the way they do unless the helmet were effective.</p>
<p>In a situation involving the same woman, which is one of my few failures, the aliens wanted her blood to be transfused to an alien-hybrid who was sick.  The sick alien-hybrid was probably an off-spring of her (part human and part alien).  She wore the helmet successfully for several nights, then a “mantis creature” came down and woke her up from sleep and used what Prof. Jacobs calls “eye scan”  very close, face to face, and hypnotized her with the helmet on.  So the helmet can be overcome with direct “ mind scan” by mantis creatures although if a person is physically strong and not sick and weak as this woman is, the person may still be able to physically overcome the mantis creature and perhaps hit it and wound it.  This is the only case I have where a “mantis-creature” or leader came down to directly remove a helmet.  Evidentially the gray aliens don’t have the ability of their leader. </p>
<p>3. People who receive a helmet, wear it successfully for at least six months, and then cease communication.  There are many abductees I have worked with who report success for some time, even years, then I can no longer contact them.  I can only assume that the aliens eventually got to them and either threatened them successfully or telepathically stopped them from wearing the helmet.  </p>
<p>The difficult thing about wearing the helmet is that once you start wearing, it, you must wear it as frequently as possible or the aliens will take you.  Many abductees have reported their experiences of being taken when leaving a shopping center during the day when they did not wear the helmet.  Every time an abductee is without the helmet is a time when they are vulnerable to an abduction and/or alien harassment.</p>
<p>I have one case where an abductee was very consistent wearing the helmet.  He even wore a baseball cap when he went shopping.  One time he went shopping at Wal Mart and did not wear the helmet when he drove home.  He had two hours of missing time and said he thought he was abducted.  He went to Wal Mart and reviewed the security videos of him driving off but there was no evidence of him being taken from the videos.  He said that his abduction must have happened when he was out of range of Wal Mart’s video cameras.</p>
<p>Children who do not wear their helmets going to school or in school (most schools do not allow children to wear hats) are reported missing by the school authorities.  In one case the school has documentation that the girl was missing for 45 minutes during the lunch break.  This happened several times.  In other incidences she was missing from the time her mother dropped her off a block away on her way to school.  The authorities reported her an hour late but the mother said she was left at school on time.  So there are documented cases of both adults and children being taken and missing when they did not wear their thought screen helmets. </p>
<p>4. People who have been wearing thought screen helmets almost 24 hours a day, every day for years.  This is my category of success and I have many abductees who do this, including men, women and children.  I am in contact with many of these abductees on a regular basis and speak to some several time a week, others I contact several times a month by phone or by email.</p>
<p>One thing that all successful abductees report is they can sleep normally after they start wearing the helmet.  They really like that fact that they can rest and are no longer afraid of being taken.  They also report that there are no indications that they have been taken, such as missing time, unusual marks on their bodies, an unusual illness, bruises on their body that they can&#8217;t account for, and the have no experiences of finding themselves in a place they can&#8217;t account for.</p>
<p>However, they also report that the aliens still try to abduct them and they see lights outside at night and also report seeing what they think is an alien outside or even in their doorway.  Many still feel vulnerable, as this man reports:  </p>
<p>“&#8230;And I have felt that they are increasing power, the pains are felt on the head. I assume  they are trying to penetrate the hats, there is no way I can tell if they have got through, there is that pain, there is lesser pain with the grounds inserted.</p>
<p>I think they can still read the mind with the hats on, as they target selected areas of the head they want to peer into, it&#8217;s like they still can monitor brain activity or it maybe they are sending a signal when they are detecting body heat. I just don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s as like the can see your every movement and I am sure there is something else which still brings them around to locate myself or other abductees. I think it&#8217;s something to do with emotions or state of emotions they find interesting. I think their interest is emotion, the cause of emotion, the one thinks and reacts to emotions.”</p>
<p>Several other abductees report that they feel the aliens attempt to penetrate the helmet.  Some report nausea and a headache after wearing the hat for several hours, which may indicate that the aliens are increasing their transmission but still can&#8217;t get through.  In response to this I now make helmets with twelve sheets of Velostat instead of eight, which abductees say is more effective.  These hats require a different make of leather hat and take me almost six hours to make.  Abductees do feel better wearing them.</p>
<p>Note that the abductee just quoted says he feels better then the helmet is grounded.  Initially I had reports of people with headaches, and/or a buzzing sound in their heads.  Some people said eventually these symptoms dissipated or they adapted to them.  In 2005 an abductee and her son, who was a technician, experimented in grounding the helmets.  They found that if a standard eight sheet helmet had two grounding wires, using insulated grounding wire with regular grounding rods, the buzzing sound they experienced and the headaches disappeared.  </p>
<p>The fact that the helmet works better when grounded also indicates that it does receive a microwave signal. The drawback to a ground is that you can only wear the helmet when sleeping because your movement is limited.  As a result of this finding I put grounding instructions on my website but I do not send helmets with grounds because the abductee must still install a regular grounding rod, which is a four foot long copper rod pounded into the ground.  So the thought screen helmet effectively intercepts and grounds out a microwave signal sent by aliens.  I assume they actually transmit the signal.</p>
<p>One thing the thought screen helmet has shown is the aliens communicate by some kind of microwave signal to their victims which is in the form of a telepathic communication.  It&#8217;s indirect proof of alien communication and that the communication is a physical source.  It&#8217;s not magic or paranormal.  It&#8217;s similar to a cell phone transmission.  The aliens really hate the helmet and try different tactics to stop abductees from wearing it.  So far they have not been able to overcome it.  In the case below, even two adult alien-human hybrids removed a helmet from an abductee before they took her.  So even they cannot control her when she wears a helmet even though they are in the same room with her. </p>
<p>5. Alien-Hybrid Activity</p>
<p>There are two failures from attempts to wear the helmets while dealing with alien-hybrids.</p>
<p>In the first case, Prof. Jacobs had a woman abductee who wanted to try the helmet.  After trying the leather helmet she said she was allergic to leather and could not wear it.  I then made a helmet using a cotton hard hat liner which had a velcro strap at the bottom.  Because of the design of the liner, I could not put the same area of Velostat into the liner that I could put into a leather hat so it had less protection.  </p>
<p>Although the liner may have worked initially, the woman wearing it let the hybrid pull it off, because it was only secured by a small velcro strap at the bottom and sent it back.  The woman sent it back. I replied that I would make another one using several straps that could be secured strongly but the woman did not want to try another hat.</p>
<p>In the second case, a frail woman abductee who walked with a cane tried wearing an eight sheet lined leather hat when confronted with two alien-human hybrids.  Unfortunately there was another investigator giving her directions on what do.  The woman was able to resist the alien-hybrids for several hours in a room at night, even when she felt they turned up their transmission and she had a headache and nausea.  Because of the naivety of the other investigator, the alien-hybrids lured her into an adjacent room where one was hiding behind a door.  She said at least one hybrid tackled her and the other forcedly removed the helmet. </p>
<p>The following day the woman abductee said that the aliens went through her whole house and found the helmet and took it.  She thought she hid it well but they did find it.  We decided that for the next try, she would keep the new helmet in a locked cabinet.  </p>
<p>I made another helmet with twelve sheets of Velostat.  She felt it worked better when she wore it.  To prevent the alien-hybrids from using any kind of staring “mind-scan” technique, I also sent her motorcycle goggles with a tinted visor. I also decided on motorcycle goggles instead of sunglasses because they have a strap around the head so they are not easily removed.  The goggles proved to be effective. </p>
<p>This time, she remained in the same room and she said at least two alien-hybrids tried to lure into the adjacent room by banging on the walls but she did not budge.   The aliens-hybrids did not come in through the open doorway and go after her and never faced her directly, so I think that the tinted goggles were effective. </p>
<p>This is a very important fact because it demonstrates that tinted goggles do stop the alien-hybrids themselves from using any kind of mind-scan from their eyes.  It stops their hypnosis. </p>
<p>After about two hours, she said that she thought the two alien-hybrids snuck up behind her, she was facing her computer, buy going through the wall in back of her (they can go through walls as part of their technology) and grabbed her.  Since she had just had back surgery she did not put up a fight and together both of the alien-hybrids managed to remove the helmet which was also secured with a strip of electrical tape.  What they had her do after that was to teach them how to drive her SUV on the highway!!  She is giving them driving lessons as part of their integration into our society.</p>
<p>This time they did not take the helmet in her house.  I did not ask her to return it because they aliens could have put some kind of tracing device on it.</p>
<p>Although both instances are failures, I also want to state that both abductees put up little, if any fight.  I do tell abductees that stopping aliens abductions is a fight and in addition to wearing the helmet as much as possible, they must fight as much as they can.  It&#8217;s possible that if a person wears a thought screen helmet and has a gun or a rifle that they can shoot an alien-hybrid who tries to remove a helmet.  Neither of these women had any weapon and neither put up much of a fight although the woman in the second account tried to use some kind of aerosol spray because the aliens do not like perfume, but that did not work. </p>
<p>The helmet and the UFO community</p>
<p>One result of the thought screen helmet was completely unexpected: much of the UFO community dislikes me because I have shown that aliens, alien activity and technology are not supernatural.  They aliens are not ghosts and they are not science fiction creatures who can change their shape.  The aliens are real, living creatures who still obey and use the physical laws of the universe.  The fact that Velostat which has impedance works also demonstrates that we can conduct transmission attenuation tests with the helmet and determine the nature of their transmissions.  I have not been able to get any engineers to help me with conducting tests.  In 2002 I worked with radio frequency engineers at Metawave, a wireless telephone smart antenna company in Washington State.  I told the engineers about the thought screen helmet but I could not get any of them to help me. The offer for help is still open and it is on my website, stopabductions.com.</p>
<p>Significance of the helmet</p>
<p>What does the success of the thought screen helmet mean?  It means several things.  If we are willing to wear the helmet all of the time, we can stop them. The aliens are not omnipotent as some investigators claim. The aliens also have emotions. They get very angry with people wearing thought screen helmets.</p>
<p>The helmet also indirectly proves that there is such a thing as telepathy and it is a physical force.  After all, EEG&#8217;s measure electrical activity of the brain.  The helmet just takes it several steps further in dealing with a microwave transmission on the brain.</p>
<p>The additional fact that the helmet works better when it is grounded also indicates that it does intercept a real, physical, microwave signal. </p>
<p>Anybody who can get Velostat can stop an alien abduction. That&#8217;s why I have the website, stopabductions.com.  It provides directions on making one and lists sources for buying Velostat.  The main problem is that it&#8217;s hard to buy Velostat by the yard.  Few suppliers sell it by the yard so it must be purchased by the $200 roll. You can’t  buy Velostat in a hardware store.  It’s only sold by companies that sell materials and parts to manufacturers of electronic products and components.  Some of them are on my website, stopabductions.com in the materials section. </p>
<p>There is a similar material, called Linqstat made by a Canadian company, Caplinq.  They also have a factory in the Netherlands.  The company was formed in 2004 so it&#8217;s fairly new.  It claims to be cheaper than Velostat but with the decreasing value of the dollar, it&#8217;s only about 8% cheaper at this March, 2008 writing.</p>
<p>Real Figures</p>
<p>Professor Jacobs once asked me for real statistics on the success of the thought screen helmet.  I have not complied any because I can&#8217;t maintain contact with every body who has received them, not just for the categories stated above but because I have a full time job with a long commute and I can&#8217;t physically keep contact with all abductees who have a helmet.  The problem is exacerbated because the more helmets I make, the more people I have to maintain contact with, which is impossible for me to do.   So all I can say is that I have had enough success with the thought screen helmet all over the world to state that it does work under the right circumstances with real aliens but not with alien-hybrids who physically remove it.  I only have two cases of alien-hybrids physically removing a helmet.</p>
<p>I have a large backlog of abductees I have promised thought screen helmets to so I can&#8217;t make any for other investigators.  They or their abductees must go to stopabudctions.com and see how to make one for themselves.  Until there is a great demand for them, I don&#8217;t think anybody will make them and just sell them.  They also take a long time to make.  Unless you can spend a lot of money on a manufacturing plant, they will always take a long time, at least three hours, to make. On the other hand, they are cheap.  I can make a helmet with about $5.00 worth of Velostat, a $16.50 leather hat and 50 cents of tape.  I can make one from a $2.50 baseball cap but it does not work as well as a helmet and it can&#8217;t be slept in.<br />
Where do I go from here?</p>
<p>Since I have limited time and a full time job, my main emphasis with alien abductions will be to keep making thought screen helmets and sending them to abductees for free to learn more about alien abductions and alien activities, and to obtain real proof of alien abductions if there is a situation where proof can be obtained.  There is a very interesting case of an alien being shot while stealing a pig from a barnyard in North Dakota.  It was documented in a recent MUFON Journal.  Two of the men now have twelve sheet helmets and baseball caps.  By the time this article is published, the third man will also have them.  Maybe this time they can do more than shoot an alien and get real proof.  At least that is my goal.</p>
<p>I believe the aliens took the pig, kept it and fed it for three months because they are trying to figure out how to feed us, once they invade and kill most of us.  The remaining humans they keep for genetic purposes must still be fed.  See The Threat by David Jacobs and my page on aliensandchildren.org, The Alien Plan for Humans.</p>
<p>The second thing I intend to do with the helmet, is make a contribution to medical science.  As an act of serendipity, I found that autistic children who consistently wear the helmet for at least three months start to improve.  I have several autistic children who wear the helmet, which I call a Burnett Hat, who have improved dramatically. The mother is convinced that the helmet has saved the children.  Although the above mentioned children are also abductees, I have one autistic child, who is not an abductee, who was mute and can now speak after wearing the hat for five months.  That was in 2003.  She still wears the hat but is not consistent and is still improving according to her father. </p>
<p>I also have an abductee who was an epileptic.  In just three weeks of wearing the helmet his EEGs returned to normal.  After six months his seizures stopped, his last three EEG tests were normal and he now drives a car.  Every time he calls me he is ecstatic about the helmet.  But he also says he still sees lights outside his house and has seen an alien in a doorway in his house, although he is pretty sure he has not been abducted. </p>
<p>I have another older woman who was also an epileptic who also tried a Burnett hat and her seizures decreased but she was in her 90&#8217;s and had some dementia so we can&#8217;t make a definite conclusion about her.  </p>
<p>In yet another case, a man who had a stroke said his mobility improved after wearing a helmet every day for three months.  Previous to wearing the helmet he could only use one hand and walked with difficulty.  After wearing the helmet he could use both hands and arms plus his walking was better.  However, he was embarrassed about telling his neurologist and would not pursue his improvement with the helmet further.  I’ve since lost contact with him. </p>
<p>I plan on working with the University of Washington&#8217;s Autism Center and Epilepsy center later this year if I can get the time to do it.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s where the whole human race is with alien abductions and the thought screen helmet.  We have the greatest threat to the human race in its history and as far as I know, we have one thing that can stop them, the thought screen helmet.  </p>

		<description>This ignores the primary problem: Suburban sprawl. Rather than building pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use (residences, schools, commerce and offices in the same neighborhood), mixed-income, mixed-density neighborhoods, recent Sacramento development has consistently been sprawl, sprawl, and sprawl. The hallmark of sprawl is that it's single-use, pedestrian- and transit-unfriendly, and every single trip must be in an auto. The County published a document saying it would cost at least $50 million just to connect all the disconnected sidewalks. How could Sacramento have working transit if no one can walk to the stops?

Busing kids to school is necessary because we have big-box low-rise schools rather than the little schoolhouse, or high-rise high school that predated sprawl (pre-1950's) in neighborhoods where a pedestrian has to enter a virtual minefield of obstacles to get anywhere. Kids can't walk to school, or ride their bikes, the streets are designed exclusively for autos.

Believe it or not, the traditional neighborhoods alternative to sprawl is favored by the market (McKinley park has the highest per-square-foot value of any real estate in the region), and is in the Sacramento County General Plan (called "Transit-oriented deveopment" or TOD). It may take a village to raise a child, but in Sacramento County, we build sprawl instead.</description>

How could Sacramento have working transit if no one can walk to the stops?</p>
<p>Busing kids to school is necessary because we have big-box low-rise schools rather than the little schoolhouse, or high-rise high school that predated sprawl (pre-1950&#8217;s) in neighborhoods where a pedestrian has to enter a virtual minefield of obstacles to get anywhere. Kids can&#8217;t walk to school, or ride their bikes, the streets are designed exclusively for autos.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, the traditional neighborhoods alternative to sprawl is favored by the market (McKinley park has the highest per-square-foot value of any real estate in the region), and is in the Sacramento County General Plan (called &#8220;Transit-oriented deveopment&#8221; or TOD). It may take a village to raise a child, but in Sacramento County, we build sprawl instead.</p>

		<description>Tom is only mediating the issues of cost. He's a great guy and I respect his decisions especially when the evolutional calculation involves a grossly abused transportational system that desperately needs a restructure. Buses could be used from Cal-Trans to ferry children. Security aside, it has merit. The ratio of inter-district transfers are high everywhere. Parents already do a majority of the driving. So to run buses for free when prices are so high detracts from the required funding Sacramento does not have. Dynamically the infrastructure is broken politically and physically. Can't get much worse. But in the end to focus and prioritize funding is paramount to the solution. Any parent that cannot ferry their children can resort to asking for help from a parent that most assuridly drives right passed their location. Get communication going.... Schools can setup pools. Or- we can just keep spending.</description>

		<description>I read similar article also named &#124; Sacramento Republicrat, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me</description>

		<description>I actually found myself at a bar sitting next to Ms. Christian shortly after she made that comment. Harriet Christian has the Hillary Clinton tattoo. Harriet says, you want to see my new tattoo? So, she hikes up her dress and sure enough, there’s Hillary on her inner thigh. You know who this is don't you? This here's Hillary Clinton. Bet you can't guess who’s tattooed on my other leg, she says, hiking her dress even further. I look at her other thigh, but the likeness escapes me. I don't recognize the other face, I said. But I'd know that one in the middle anywhere – that there's Sandy Berger: http://theseedsof9-11.com</description>

		<description>Los Angeles has roughly 3800 violent crimes per week using LAPD figures. the Times should be writing a positive story as it seems that Bagdad may be safer than Los Angeles.
