Dr. Sprinkle&#13;
&#13;
February 25, 1971...TO ALL CONTACTS&#13;
&#13;
I wonder how many of you 35 out there...have already figured out... what's happened since my Feb. 1st, 1971, contact letter to you...and who did it? Get the March 1971 issue of Saga magazine and read it carefully...repeat with the coming April issue of Saga...and you will then be able to comprehend what has happened the past three weeks. It should scare you witless.&#13;
&#13;
In my letter to you of Feb. 1, 1971, I said: "Well, I've been kind of quiet lately. Time to stand up and stretch, with my psi powers." (1) I'd use the four huge UFO's at the corners of the earth...to send forth psi sound...which would cause insects, fish, animals, birds and micro-world to go wild...all over the earth.&#13;
&#13;
Now check these newspaper clippings: Feb. 21, 1971, Los Angeles (UPI) AFTERSHOCKS KEEP CALIFORNIA DOGS JUMPING...Hundreds Loose and Biting... "The earthquake not only put the fear of God in thousands of humans, but it also apparently threw hundreds of animals, notably dogs, into a state of frenzy. "There are hundreds of dogs on the loose," Ernest Jensen, district supervisor of the East San Fernando Valley Animal Shelter, said. Jensen said many of the animals escaped when backyard walls and fences collapsed during the killer quake. "Some of the dogs are now running in packs, hungry and frightened," Jensen said. He added that reports of dog bites have also increased and attributed the cause to the agitated conditions the animals are in because of continuing aftershocks. (Ha. He has leaped to a wrong, albeit seemingly logical, conclusion. Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
...Americana, Brazil(AP) BATHERS BEWARE...Feb. 22, 1971..."Authorities have warned bathers at local reservoirs to watch out for what may be flesh-eating piranha fish. A dozen swimmers reported being bitten in a one-week period. (You see? Dogs Biting people suddenly by the people suddenly. Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 22, 1971...pic in paper of man whose face and arm are horribly bitten...local Norfolk paper..."NOT SO GENTLE INSURRECTION"...Jethrow Midgett is a wiser commercial fisherman than he was last week. He may not catch any more fish this week, but he is likely to get fewer seal bites. Midgett displays wounds received at Rodanthe on North Carolina's Outer Banks last Friday when a seal bit him on the chin, lower lip, and left arm. The seal struck as Midgett started to pat it on the head. Midgett said he was attempting to demonstrate the animal's gentle character." (Again, you see? A normally gentle seal brutally attacks this man and chews him all up. Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
Also, in my Feb. 1 letter I told you that (2) "Am setting up a 'grid' today over the ENTIRE UNITED STATES, same as the one you'll read about in March '71 Saga that I set up over Norfolk last summer. What this 'grid' will do: it will cause electromagnetic (EM) havoc all over the United States...cause power blackouts...confuse radar, confuse TV signals. It will be an EM circus!" (while keeping that paragraph closely in mind, note also that I wrote to Otto Binder on Feb. 4 as follows: ...the daily movement of the pole is increasing and the number of fairly large earthquakes has increased." This could be due to the fact that they have not cut off our Saga" demonstration...i.e., as you know they started with 'small' quakes and graduated into the Peru and Pakistan horrors. This could be building into a climax, ending in a horrendous U.S. quake...which I think will occur.)&#13;
&#13;
=== **Page: 2 of 3**&#13;
&#13;
2....Are you following me so far? Just after I sent you the Feb. 1 letter...I placed the 'grid' mentally over the entire U.S. and activated it, then signaled the four huge UFO's at the corners of the earth to issue forth the sound which would drive you-know-what wild.&#13;
&#13;
...Then all hell broke loose. (Mind you...I had no way of knowing all that that 'grid' would do. I just had in mind causing power blackouts everywhere and confusing radio and TV signals everywhere. But...THE SI'S OF COURSE INSERTED THE IDEA INTO MY BRAIN AND THEY KNEW WHAT IT WOULD DO! Another...formidable SI demonstration! Which, unfortunately, only a few of you will know about. 35 people are not very many.)&#13;
&#13;
Feb. 8, 1971...AT LEAST 100 HURT, DAMAGE HEAVY IN FLA. TORNADO...Gulf Breeze, Fla. (AP) (Article too long...but a tornado kicked the daylights out of a section of Florida. "It has to be a miracle that nobody was killed," said the Rev. Gerald Munday. Interesting thing to note...flashing lightning lit the sky like it was daytime. (Remember that, it's important, and I'll link it up later on.)&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 8, 1971...BLAST KNOCKS OUT N.Y. POWER...Radio, TV off Air... New York (AP) (Long article explains how explosion, cause unknown, knocked radio and TV stations off the air, including the Empire State Building...plus blacking out areas of New York City. Now note this...electrical power outages in two other of the city's five boroughs were also reported. However a spokesman for Consolidated Edison Co., the area's major utility, said those failures were unrelated to the explosion at the Waterside power plant on the East Side of Manhattan. (Note: Of course that U.S. 'grid' is doing all of this...and it's just a warning up! Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
Another newsclip on the same. "The cause of a Sunday night power blackout which left 500,000 Manhattan residents in the dark and blanked television channels in parts of four states remained unknown Monday. Teams of blue-helmeted Consolidated Edison Co. experts carried out a daylong examination of power feeds in the originally effected area without finding the source or location of the trouble."&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 9, 1971...KILLER QUAKE JOLTS LA AREA...Los Angeles (AP) (No need to go into this one. You all know about it. President Nixon called this part of California a "major disaster area." Enough said. And I was right to Otto about the "horrendous quake"...also that the U.S. would be dealt a "terrible blow" within 30 days; remember? Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
Now, at this point let me insert a newsclipping sent me by a friend, Bob Gray, from Berkeley, Calif....San Francisco Chronicle, Wed. Feb. 17, 1971...JOYCE HABER..."I've been culling some odd, if inevitable, tales about the disaster--or Earthquake, 1971"--as they called it on CBS-TV in their minute-by-minute coverage. For my part, I read that certain people said the sky lit up with "flashes of light" a few hours before the quake occurred. That brought to mind my own observation. I remembered rising at 4 a.m. on Feb. 9...and reflecting that it seemed as light as daybreak, which happens around 6. I can't explain that, but I promise it's true. (Note: Now note that quote above where "flashing lightning lit up the sky like it was daytime" connected with the Florida tornado...and compare the two! Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
...Now things were even going to get weirder. Feb. 20, 1971...BROADCAST STATIONS GET FALSE ALERT...Washington (AP) "The nation's radio stations were erroneously alerted today that a national emergency existed... (You see, here we go again...not a blackout this time, but a SI-caused human error...still picking on radio stations...and here the SI's are telling us in their own way that a national emergency exists;)&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
3...Yes, the 'grid' is doing all of this!&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 21, 1971...REPAIRS PUT MASS. R.I., IN DARKNESS...Boston (UPI)  &#13;
Rhode Island lost all electrical power for up to three hours Saturday  &#13;
when a major transmission line failed...Several radio stations were  &#13;
knocked off the air. (Following this pattern now? Ted.) Virtually  &#13;
every community in southeastern Massachusetts from Brockton down to  &#13;
Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod was affected, as were the cities of  &#13;
Middletown, Newport, and Portsmouth in southeastern Rhode Island. The  &#13;
explanation was that while one line was being repaired, the alternate  &#13;
line failed.&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 21, 1971...SEVERE WINDS POUND UTAH...Gusts Up to 88 MPH Hit  &#13;
Trains, Trucks, Trailers...Salt Lake City, Utah (UPI)...Hurricane-velocity  &#13;
winds slapped northern Utah Saturday, knocking over trees, trains, trucks  &#13;
and trailers, ripping off roofs and cutting power...(Note: remember  &#13;
that psi-force mechanisms will work in a thousand ways, to bring about  &#13;
a single result, if necessary, Ted.) The winds whipped out of mountain  &#13;
canyons with such force that 10 cars of a freight train were blown off the  &#13;
tracks and a dozen homes at a trailer park were rolled into a giant  &#13;
jumble. Power failures were wide spread. (and there was lots more about  &#13;
this, but you get the idea. Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 22, 1971...TORNADOES IN SOUTH KILL 73...by the AP (over 100  &#13;
tornadoes just kicked the slats out of Mississippi, Louisiana and  &#13;
Alabama. Now note: BEFORE this occurred...I dreamed the night before  &#13;
it happened...clearly...that I was in a state near Texas...and was  &#13;
PK'ing a football game in that state...but had to go 200 miles to Dallas  &#13;
to get a TV set where it was not blacked out so I could work on  &#13;
the game play by play. Next morning, I read in the paper where this area  &#13;
I dreamed I was in had been steamrollered by dozens of tornadoes! You  &#13;
figure that one out. Ted.) And here again, power was knocked out  &#13;
everywhere...a different cause again...and Mississippi was called a  &#13;
"major disaster area" by President Nixon. To quote one newsclip, "It  &#13;
looked like a thousand hells" one area resident said. (Are you beginning  &#13;
to get some idea...of the power of the SI's now? And of the power of my  &#13;
mind connected with them? Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 22, 1971...5 REPORTED DEAD IN 3-STATE BLIZZARD...by the AP...  &#13;
(a terrible blizzard smashed into Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa... accompanied  &#13;
by thunder and lightning and gusts up to 80 miles an hour in conjunction  &#13;
with severe floods that inundated the eastern half of the state. (I  &#13;
believe that President Nixon named Nebraska a "major disaster area" after  &#13;
this...no newsclip on it, heard it over the radio. Ted.)&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 23, 1971...N.C. CITY GUARDED...by the AP...Two persons were  &#13;
killed and about 60 injured late Monday afternoon when two tornadoes  &#13;
touched down in Fayetteville, N.C., and a rural area of Cumberland and  &#13;
Sampson counties about 15 miles away. Estimated damage reached several  &#13;
millions of dollars."&#13;
&#13;
...Feb. 23, 1971...17 DEAD FROM SNOW IN 5 STATES...by the AP...A late  &#13;
winter storm that staggered sections of the midcontinent with 15-foot  &#13;
icy and snow-laden punch at the Northeastern interior  &#13;
today. Seventeen persons were dead as a result of the storm in Texas,  &#13;
Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska...several communities in  &#13;
Oklahoma remained without electrical power..."&#13;
&#13;
(Now I'll tell you something interesting, contacts...THE TORNADO SEASON  &#13;
IS NOT EVEN HERE YET! It's too early for it. But you just had over a  &#13;
hundred tornadoes at once! After I activated the 'grid'. Any questions?  &#13;
You were all notified in advance about the 'grid' and what it would do.  &#13;
More than that...you couldn't want.&#13;
