Secret Space Program: Insider 1997

Secret Space Program: Insider 1997

Bob McCarty purchased a riding lawnmower in 1995 in Austin from my ex-wife at SEARS and struck up an interesting conversation with her claiming she was of Martian ancestry and went on to tell her about the Galaxy's political challenges....she said my husband would be interested in talking to you about this information and he gave her a card with his name and # from the San Marcos/ Wimberley area with the title DARE CORP.

D.A.R.E. was an acronym for something i don't remember now. But he and I began a 3-5 year relationship over the phone talking about inside information that he was still privy to in the Aerospace industry. Bob claimed to have worked on the Apollo Missions to the moon designing flight systems and navigation hardware for TRW. He also said he worked for other contractors.......

During 1997-98 I worked for a radio station in Weslaco TX as a phone salesman and I had the gear to record the calls as training  and accountability to my sales manager. Well I entered Bobs Company name into the computer and would dial the # often with the computer and record these fascinating tales of the the Governments Secret Space Programs.  Its amazing now when i hear the other whistle blowers in 2016-2020 talking about the things Bob McCarty used to tell me back in 1996!

I had held on to 2 BOB tapes that were over 4 hours of conversations with him talking to me.......Sadly i just found out this week that some of these conversations had been recorded over ..... It appears someone recorded an ALICE IN CHAINS CD to one of my BOB Tape in or around 2005. I know who this was now... But what You hear above is the few minutes remaining of many many hours of talks with UFO BOB . 

In 2010 when I myself would be living in Wimberley and San Marcos I hosted the WEIRD SHOW on SMTX.tv and many of my guest were UFO related Giorgio Tsoukulous of Ancient Aliens, Jim Marrs, Stanton Friedman, Nick Redfern, Tim Schwartz, Heidi Hollis and many others . ..  however the local folk of San Marcos would tell me that I reminded them of UFO Bob, an old Hermit that lived near Wimberley at the Junction of HWY 32 & 12. UFO Bob would tell locals many stories about the Secret Government at several local Coffee Shops and was a local insider on UFO topics.

I have no doubt that this was my pen pal via the phone line Bob McCarty. I never met Bob in person but he gave me a ton of information as a young researcher into the UFO studies when i was only in my early 20s at the time. Enjoy this small clip of my friend "UFO BOB" I hope to find more of these tapes in my  SETLAB shows box that I haven't located yet.

KOOP Evening News: Interns

KOOP Evening News: Interns

Russell hosts the KOOP Evening News this Thursday and the station had a few High School students from the Austin area come in and intern for their future RTF classes the following fall.  The boys did good . This weeks show was the summer of 2003 and announced ground breaking technology changes from Japans cellular phone industry at the time. Amazing what we can do with these phones now 17 years later in 2020.

KOOP SETLAB Clips

KOOP SETLAB Clips

Hosting for KOOP 91.7 FM Station Manager Angela Keaton and her show  the Liberated Space, Russell plays clips of his old SETLAB radio shows with Sonny Salas at 88.1 KMBH in Harlingen TX. These clips feature Courtney Brown talking about the Greys, Martians, and the Draco -Reptilian group all these years later we are still talking about. Ken Eagle Feather is also profiled espousing an interesting theory of his on the reason for ANAL Probes. The SETLAB Clips are from 1999 and the entire show was from the summer of 2003. So its very odd for me uploading these in April of 2020. Proof my weird ass has been in the space of alien investigations for more than 20 years. Will we ever get DISCLOSURE?

Enjoy.

KOOP Weird News

KOOP Weird News

Russell in 2003 would often fill in for Station Manager Angela Keaton at KOOP 91.7 FM Community Radio here in Austin.  Actually I used to host the Thursday  edition of the KOOP Evening News at 5:30pm and then Angela would let me fill in for her on her show The Liberated Space at 6:30pm.

This particular show had the NORML girl on the show with Ron Anderson a loyal advertiser of The Austin Para Times & owner of FLASHBACK a cool thrift store on the corner of Oltorf and South Lamar. This week i pulled some weird News Stories and Sam performed live in the studio with his guitar. While this was not a WEIRD RADIO episode it certainly was the beginning of what would later be Weird Radio only this is before in 2003. 


We return all of us a Half Hour later and torture Austin listeners for another half hour on The Liberated Space. That show is up next.

Jelaila Starr: Nibiruan Council

Jelaila Starr: Nibiruan Council

Nibiruan Council messenger, mother, researcher, teacher, counselor, and visionary entrepreneur.

After her spiritual awakening experience in 1992, Jelaila sought to  heal the emotional wounds of her past and thus began the Spiritual  Path.  In December, 1995, Jelaila was awakened to the knowledge of her  walk-in. The following January Jelaila began the first phase of her  mission, DNA Recoding.

In July 1996, after six successful years Creative Referral Networks,  Inc. (CRN), a company she started in 1992, Jelaila felt a calling to  change her career focus. This change brought her into alignment with her  assignment as a galactic messenger.

In January 1997, Jelaila completed her initial training as a galactic  messenger and founded The Nibiruan Council, named after the 12th planet  of our solar system, Nibiru. The Nibiruan Council was created to be a  vehicle through which Jelaila could publish her writings as a spiritual  visionary and messenger for the Ancient Elders’s teachings.  The focus  was on unconditional compassion, along with  knowledge of our origins as  a race, as well as, the bigger picture of our galactic and universal  history.

This knowledge coupled with Jelaila’s simple, uncomplicated and  down-to-earth approach, enables her to reach across the boundaries of  belief systems that separate our world, to provide insight,  understanding and hope through a concrete formula for self empowerment.
