Experiences with the mass-media

2 January 1959 Experiences with the press (Author H. V. Speer) The Mediale Friedenskreis, Berlin (Psychic Peace Circle, Berlin) allowed two reporters to participate in its séances so they could convince themselves of the genuineness of supernatural contacts. They were allowed to ask questions and take photos whilst we had a connection. Based on the gained conviction, the journal “Revue #30”, a special pictorial report was published. This pictorial report was copied from the “Revue” by the East German newspaper “Neue Berliner Zeitung” and the associated texts were distorted. This mud raking reporter, who never participated in a séance or even talked to a participant or one of the mediums, wrote the following nonsense: “Flying saucer port sighted by Uwe Speer.” (It was never suggested that the medium saw anything.) “Polar star villa.” (The polar star was never ever mentioned.) “The UFO sect only meets under candlelight to receive their orders!” (The Psychic Peace Circle is not a sect, but a free, spiritual community. Orders were never received, only DOCTRINES.) “I hope that these UFO people do not regard the human race as being backward because of this mediaeval form of lighting.” (The occupants of UFOS regard the whole press on Earth as being backward and mendacious.)

In his ungodliness, the reporter continues: “These UFO people are not interested in the atomic missiles here on Earth.” (Every enlightened human being knows that the exact opposite is true. We published that the occupants of UFOS observe all terrestrial rocket launches with the greatest of interest.) At the end of this mendacious report, one we regard an exemplar of the general stupefaction of the public by the press, the devil chases his own tail, because the writer make the same mistake EVIL always makes and unmasks himself in the process. The East German journal continues: “Thousands of members of the ‘Psychic Peace Circle’ believe this nonsense and the West German magazine “Revue’ report is even completely serious about this. This should please the inventors of UFOS: Distraction successful.” (The “Revue” could be serious about this, because they were dealing with eye witness accounts and factual reports. “Distraction successful” – From what? – From the Soviet’s moon-rocket with
