Science fell down over fallout!

On January 31, 1958, during the International Geophysical Year, the USA launched the Explorer I satellite. It carried a geiger counter to measure cosmic ray intensity for a global survey being made by James Van Allen. The results were so strange that instrument malfunction was suspectedÉ

In March of that year Explorer III revealed that the geiger counter had been choked by radiation intensity a thousand times greater than it could handle. Van Allen concluded that the Earth was surrounded by doughnut-shaped radiation belts. These belts were promptly dubbed the Van Allen belts.

Almost one year prior to Van Allen's discovery The Master Aetherius had revealed the presence of a radiation belt around Earth. In a Cosmic Transmission through His Eminence Sir George King, he also described its cause-something that took scientists several years to work out.

On June 2, 1957 a series of message Transmissions, given through the Founder of The Aetherius Society, Dr. George King, from three great extraterrestrial Intelligences had advised mankind about the grave consequences of nuclear experimentation. These Transmissions were deemed to be of such importance that they were immediately published and sent out to authorities of every major country on Earth.

Mars Sector Six: "There are four emergency Satellites now in the skies of Terra. These emergency Satellites are not allowed by Law to counteract all the forces released by the latest act of vandalism on the part of nuclear physicistsÉ."

The Master Aetherius then elaborated: "Their task is to put up a network of vibration through the etheric matter, just beyond your ionospheric unit so that the great clouds of subtle matter, which have been greatly distorted by the murder device, will then be confined to Terra. If these clouds are allowed to escape, they would do damage to other life forms. Great then would be the Karma of Terra. So by keeping these clouds of distorted radiations within your confines, we save you that Karmic debt...."

(See Cosmic Voice, Issue No. l2, October/November, l957).

So the inner radiation belt exists because of the radioactivity unleashed by a human race too ignorant to stop the insanity of nuclear explosion. During 1957 and 1958, there were 165 known nuclear weapons tests by the US, Russia and Great Britain. The vast majority of these were atmospheric tests, with a total yield equal to thousands of Hiroshima-sized bombs!

Different texts and reference works specify different altitudes for the reach of our ionosphere into space. Various sources have, however, put the radiation belt in a range not far beyond the ionosphere which would verify the Transmission by The Master Aetherius. However, that isn't all. The late Professor Sydney Chapman, President of the IGY Special Committee, who was one of the world's foremost physicists, wrote in 1959: "[The Van Allen belt] is a hazard to space travellers in this region. Its dangers are analogous to those suffered by unshielded workers on x-rays or radium, or to those caused by nuclear fallout from atomic and hydrogen bombs". Professor Chapman goes on to say that the source of radiation was not yet known.

Did the radiation belt seem like fallout from nuclear bombs because that was what it was? The National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) certainly thought fallout was the source of at least some radiation belt radioactivity. Its publication, "Protection Against Space Radiation", stated in 1968 "The inner zone electrons have an appreciableÉfraction of their origin in the beta-decay of fission fragments from high altitude nuclear explosions".

No scientists on the physical plane of Earth knew of the Van Allen radiation belts in 1957 when the Cosmic Masters gave their vital Transmission. When they learned about them in 1958, they were shocked and admitted it! Even then it took several years for them to appreciate that much of the radioactivity was a result of our atomic folly!

In the face of extreme scepticism and sometimes hostility over the years, Dr King stood by the messages given through him and bravely forged ahead with his mission. Gradually the tables have turned. The growing body of evidence supporting his contact, when taken in its sum total, constitutes proof, and those who try and ignore or belittle, will soon no longer be able to do so!
