It's on a second floor area. .... Bunch of living quarters on the .... (mumble) partially living quarters on the ... second floor and a..most all of them third floor. .......... Trying to get a feel for the building itself. ......... It's ah ... things temporarily stored here .... that are purchased and are being transferred somewhere, ..some kind of boxes with equipment. It's like a corporation or a ... buying, selling place, a place that buys and sells, kind of enterprise. #66: All right. Let's focus on the present time, right now. Describe the personnel in the building. #01: Ah ... mix of people, two ~:if*i~~~n*t*''ki"n*d's*.***P*e*o*p*le who normally work there and there's people that are, don't have anything to do with the building that are staying there, from out of the country. I just get an impression of travelers. Predominantly the people in the building who work there are..dark skin, black hair. People f rom out of the country have a ... a little lighter skin in some regard but their features are heavy. Ah ..... two languages being spoken. One is ah ... ah ... one is English, the other is ah ... some dialect of Spanish, I get an impression of Spanish or it's a very guttural language in any event. Ah .... people f rom out of the country are staying there. They're to-ah ... what do you call it ... ah ... they're like information stripers, they take information, ah ... focus on information .... ah .....

It's like a holding and transfer company and it's ... when it's holding or transferring something, it's being photographed and sketched in detailed ...... Just keep pictures of ...... schematics and manuals and electronic circuit boards. #66: All right. Now, I have some questions. #01: Okay. #66: Two languages in the building, one English like and one guttural like-- #01: Correct. #66: --- two different groups of people, ... connect the the languages with the people. #01: Okay, just a minute. ........... The ah ... guttural language is common to the people there, that live there and the English is common to the people that don't, that are from out of the country. .... I still get something fakey about the people from out of the country that speak English, there's very heavy overlays of subterfuge there. It's like the people who own this building don't know who really these people are that speak English. They believe they are someone else. There's some other kind of function and what they're really doing. #66: Ail right. Now, let's talk about numbers and ratios between the visitors from out of town and the residents. #01: Okay. Resident people ...... 20 to 22 resident people. Visitors from out of town are never more than 5. Seem to come in groups of 4 or 5. Kind of interesting word pops into mind, it's called "staging". #66: Okay. Now I want to question about a choice of words here. You say come in groups of 4 or 5? #01: That's correct. #66: 1 infer from your choice of words that they are not always there in that building.

It's a normal ah ... normal operation, it's like a ... they get there on a ... Thursday evening and leave on the following Monday, Wednesday evening or Thursday evening, depart on the following Monday. Apparently there's weeks that occur when there's no one there at all, from out, you know, out of country. ... There's some important reason why they have to be there on the weekend, but 1 can't fix it. #66: Okay now, it's the visitors that spend this 3, 4 days of the weekend? #01: That's correct. #66: All right. And you call that their normal operation or their normal time for being there? #01: Yes, that's correct. #66: All right. It's almost like there's some form of a ... ~r*a`in`in*g`*taking place as well. #66: If I understand you correctly, concerning these visitor people, the words "subterfuge", the words "staging", the words "training" come to mind. #01: That's correct. They're all interlocked, they're tied .... in some way. Ahhh..I don't think the people who own the building are totally aware of the nature of these people. (mumble) it's like it's not part of the job to know. #66: Ail right. Now, getting back to physical descriptions of the building, I'll later want you to draw a doll house of the thing. So describe for me now where in the building these visitors come to. #01: ........... Itis like rear ... rear corner of the warehouse area or storage area, whatever you call it, and the third floor of the building. I don't.

Somebody in the group is carrying a badge like a police badge or something. It's really strange. See like a hard piece of leather with a badge pinned to it. Somebody in the group is carrying that. #66: Someone in the group? #01: Someone in the group, but I can't ... can't fix why'. #66: All right. Now I'm going to ask you to, later I will ask you to draw the routes and entryways, hallways and doorways of this whole building and particularly this meeting area. For now, however, I would like you to describe as these groups of visitors arrive at the area, for one of their usual meetings, describe their appearance, their deportment, how they look. #01: --: ......... ,port coats, without ties, open neck shirts, light blues, light clothing, light, everything light.

There's a strange look in his eyes. Other than that he's (mumble) authority areas. He's no different from the rest of the people. #66: Okay, let's explore him for a minute. #01: The only feeling I get is that a..he *** * * ... ** ' authority, and he's kind of 1 o t ~a ; a like ... engineering some things here that .... others don't know why he's doing it. He's got rotten personality as well. That's all I get on this guy. #66: Okay.

Ah ... having effect on the information media. #66: May I be correct in saying that because of the nature of your contact with him, that this is the way he feels about his job. That he feels that this is what he does is effect the media? #01: That's the ultimate aim. #66: Oh, that's the ultimate aim is to effect the media, all right. #01: Cause a disruption by effecting the media. ~r*e'ls a lot of ways it's done. ....... There's still something I don't like about this that's not right. Something, there's an appearance here that's wrong, there's ah ..... it's like a mission within a mission, and I can't, trying to put my finger on it, but I can't,..it's like what he's lending support to, these teams etc, etc,..the teams may. believe in what they're doing, but it's not really what they're doing. I don't know, they're, they're implying things that aren't real. Ah ........ It's like the people that are hosting them aren't getting what they believe they're getting. They're getting a double wrapped package. #66: The people hosting the visitors being the people in the building or in the general area? #01: In the building . ......... #66: You had said before that the people in the building didn't know what the visitors were up to? #01: They know but they don't know. It's like they ..... #66: Are you saying there's a secondary or hidden agenda that they are not aware of? #01: That's correct, exactly. And even the ... a..the guys that are there, some of them don't even understand what that hidden agenda is, it's like they don't know yet. #66: Okay.

Tell me what's written on his face. #01: ...................... Ah ...... get a mix of (mumble) packages. #66: What was that? #01: Get a mix of knowledge packages. He's a ... very politically minded,...very politically tuned. I get a sense of ..... like, I don't know ... how to explain that he's, he's like a .... one of the people in charge of something and just,..he's getting more and more authority and politicizing it, he's using it and he's growing in strength, so to speak. But it's not, it's not like a formalized organization, it's more subtle than that. ............ Specific knowledge, I just get ah ... million things, you know he's just .... very intelligent, he's ah..very vested in so many areas. .......... Other best areas vested in those and understanding of world politics. That's ah ....... that and organizing things. That's all I'm getting. #66: Okay. I want to remind you to remember the building, and the room they meet in and layout because I need drawings. But before we do that, I want to march off in another direction. This individual about whom you've been talking, I want you to move with him forward in time in monthly increments for as far as you want to see if there's anything of significance. #01: ......................... The only thing of significance that I see is ..... tremendous increase in wealth. I don't see any .... see the problem is that, I think the things of significance are occurring that are important to him, are occurring away from him, not where he's at. .... Get an impression that there's things occurring that ... are very significant relating to him, that they're not where he's at. He's ah...just ah.. #66: Okay. #01: --- Going like traveling in one or two places in the next 90 days.

Now I have no further questions, but I would like to allow you a couple of moments to explore on your own beyond the confines of my questions, to get deep into the situation, beyond the confines of my questions. Do this now. #01: Get an impression he's ~;p*o*r*t*in*g** *t*o* *m*o*r*e* *than one master, so to speak. He's working for two people. Both are a pain, it's kind of interesting.
