Evolution For Some…But Alas, Not For Others! 

A quick look at local Crop circle politics and current significant events, plus one or two 'home truths'. These words are intended for not only established readers but also the increasing number of others new to the subject that need some background. Our audience is growing! 

(The sociological component within  the CC phenomenon is arguably the most important. So much time is spent on analytics, speculation and commercial enterprise. But I would suggest that unless we can adapt to changes and events, i.e.. benefit in terms of growth, maturity and spiritual insight, both in thriving local and also in a global sense, these messages and patterns would seem relatively pointless and our efforts a waste of time. The CC Makers have never given us any overt new information, thus far, something that would help us in a practical way. Pi and Phi for instance are known which suggests maybe they see us not quite ready yet for something slightly more useful that we don’t know. To me, it seems very unlikely they will just give us for instance, the formula for free energy. I believe at this stage they are only trying to gain our attention. IOWs…perhaps we need to grow a bit more to be worthy of such knowledge. This has been the status quo since the CC’s inception. Now we have an opportunity for that growth.)

                We have a chance to facilitate CC access to the 

                                  majority in a way that will be socially acceptable...

                                                     through CHARITY...where the people are in charge.

                                                                            Let's make this happen! This is a good thing!  

I think it is fair to say that the most significant PR event in Crop circle history took place this year when a farmer and member of the CC community (myself with CGI) teamed up for common cause. The event centred around ‘The Brighter Futures Appeal’, a charity set to raise money, who's target is  £2.9m for a Radiotherapy Unit in Swindon.

This event is significant as it potentially radically changes the status quo within farmer/CC visitor relations. Collaboration between farmers and Crop circle researchers is almost unheard of. If other farmers ‘climb on board’ with this new order, as we have good reason to believe they will, i.e.. with those farmers wishing to help with funding for cancer care, a much more productive and positive situation will prevail, certainly within the county of Wiltshire. There is no reason that this, in principle could not spread to National or even global level in time. The farmers can generate large sums of money for a cause possibly close to their heart. This doesn't’t mean however that folks will have the right to trespass on land uninvited as before where CGI or other farmer engaged parties are not helping at that time, it has to be said.
 

Etchilhampton CC 2015. Weather conditions utterly foul! On the ground, finesse, precision and consistency. No reason whatsoever to think this CC was anything other than of a totally mysterious origin. Notice the complexity of the lay pattern...and the 'string joining' to adjacent areas, a feature totally illogical from a human instigated perspective I would suggest. Myself and another CGI member were the first to report and photograph this wonderful design. 

 The vast majority of ordinary members of the public to visit CGI managed CCs this 2015 season were hugely supportive of our charity initiative. However, there's always at least one ‘fly in the ointment’! A one Charles Mallett, well known local part-time trader and CC dis-informer arrived at the Etchilhampton CC  demanding..."How did you find out about this CC? I won't pay if it's rubbish". He was secretly filming me at the time which I regarded as completely unethical; he later put it on the internet. According to him, I am a 'wannabe cult leader’ a comment I regard as somewhat uncharitable to say the least. Would such an encounter attract grace, I ask? Predictably, he didn't himself part with a penny and quickly announced to the world it was a hoax. This is a surprising conclusion for someone to make public as someone who has been around CCs for 15 years or so! Just considering the foul weather conditions alone for several days and nights before would make this conclusion highly improbable to say the least. When we arrived the evening before we could find not one muddy footprint (and believe me, the ground was sticky.) This whole business of hoaxing is a total myth and hardly ever happens outside of a commercial or debunking context when it is planned and farmer agreed although you will see mostly photoshopped versions on TV which is far cheaper to do. It could be said that if you've not learnt your subject after 15 years you are never likely to…unless that subject is deception!  

Bottom line is that if you ever hear of anyone promoting this position of hoaxing etc, no matter how assertive or plausible they may sound, do not trust them, they are either deliberately attempting to fool and deceive you for their own dark purposes, are very slow learners or just haven't done enough homework that is combined with regular practical field experience. In my weeks in the fields each summer, I know of not one individual that researches and observes as I personally able to do...day after day, week after week , on a daily basis...a position I regard as a privilege and an honour and of being entrusted by the farmers concerned. This gives one an ‘edge’ I suppose.

Not attention seeking, just a clinical fact. 

The 'old-time' prominent long-term candidates, who you would reasonably expect to be singing and dancing at this happy PR triumph of working successfully with the farmers, were in fact not singing and dancing at all! Something feels very wrong here. I must say I have been completely underwhelmed by the almost non existent feedback, the deafening silence publicised from these well known people (apart from Francine Blake, formally of the WCCSG) which is a total and complete irony as this issue of damaged public relations has been THE CORE ISSUE with them for nearly three decades now. I think this alone must say much about this group and is very disappointing as CGI are attempting to do something genuinely helpful towards meaningful progress. I’ve observed them to be a very precious, disparate group which tends towards 'ownership'. I am beginning to think that either the ‘penny hasn’t quite dropped yet’…or…they just don’t ‘get it’. The unthinkable is that they actually preferred the tension and controversy that previously prevailed. The issue of RESPECT  FOR THE FARMER was never properly addressed before CGI came along and so, in a sense allowed  them to just carry on walking freely and arrogantly over farmer land saying…”Somebody said it was OK to go in”…Uhh!… a sort of 'grey' area of impunity. Now people are questioning this practice that has caused so much trouble in the past. If this is the case, that tension was preferred it could be said they should no longer be involved with Crop circles !  

 I suspect the failure of Ms. Monique Klinkenburgh’s ‘access’ scheme is much to do with the 'old-timer’s' attitude of non-interest in CGI ( you know...the prominent familiar names)  as these people are pretty much all hung-up on money and personal gains from CCs; they were all pinning hope on a scheme that would promote their business and make them more money.

 However, a small ray of hope here... I can tell you now that one front line farmer involved, who I personally know well has told me that £800 plus 200 Euros has now been handed over from the ‘access’ scheme as part of their decommissioning process. Yes, it seems like it's finally over folks! The current fund balance of said scheme, more than £3000  has been verbally pledged to ‘The Brighter Futures Appeal’ by Ms Klinkenburgh, a position and decision I personally applaud but at the time of writing has not yet actually been received by said recipient. Ms.K is evidently seeking agreement from the other parties concerned with the money 'frozen' in a bank account as I understand it. I feel hopeful this will be resolved very soon and is the right thing to do in my view. This will be a happy ending to a rather turbulent period I think all will agree.

A great endorsement and a bit of encouragement from someone I truly respect. In case you’re not familiar with Jaime he is the principal global investigative journalist on the subject of the  paranormal who is based in Mexico City. I find it utterly remarkable that he could see the merit in our work back in 2013 with few else prominent long termers doing likewise. Oh well, ya' pays ya' money and makes ya' choice I guess!
