(Cara StLouis Farrelly) In fact, most people (check)
And the way I've come to be sitting with you, Miles,
goes back to -- in fact, goes back my whole life --
but specifically to July 2010, when I was living in the State of Maine in the US,
Obviously, I am an American.
And with my family -- (Miles Johnston ) You're not Canadian?
(Cara) I'm not Canadian, no: I am from the American Southwest, actually,
which is really sort of germinal to my own personal history, but
particularly there, I was living in seacoast Maine, in a little village
and my mother had come to be near the grandchildren,
because they were all growing up.
And she'd been there for about a year
and July 11 was a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning in Maine
and she got up and she was walking to church, which was about
a block and a half from her flat, from where she lived
and she had just about reached the other side of the main street,
which is, we call it the High Street, it's a very small town,
when she was actually run over by a van, a minivan
and thrown god knows how far, twenty or (no sound)
point my mother was 74 years old,
she was definitely, you know, in the latter moments of her life,
her lifespan and anyway, just about every bone in her body was broken
and she was conscious, believe it or not, taken to the hospital.
I joined her there and she died in my arms a few hours later.
So, one would have thought that that alone is just a tragedy
and a horrific thing to have happen in your life, and of course it is.
And, you know, one would have been --
the normal, the natural thing would have been to --
to just receive that as a crazy accident and that something meaningless
ended someone's life, although I don't believe anything is an accident
or meaningless, or without purpose, but -- the reality is, as the months went by,
I couldn't get any information about my mother's death,
and that made no sense at all, because it was a small town,
she was a little old lady who was crossing the street
and she was run over and killed.
And I was her sole survivor.
I literally had to have an attorney write a letter to the local police authority
invoking the Freedom Of Information Act to get even the smallest police report.
It made no sense whatsoever.
So this really started me thinking something that had been in my guts
to begin with, with this death.
And that was that, although my mother had started her life as a music teacher,
she had, half way through, begun to work for the US government
and specifically the military, first the Office of Information here in Nevada
and then the US Navy.
She worked for weapons entities in Dog Run (check) Virginia
and then she was transferred to London,
she got a position at the Office of Naval Research here in London,
which is a very serious organization in terms of the Navy.
People think the NSA is the top dog in (check) but it's not, it's the Navy.
The Navy is very much -- (Miles) the senior service
(Cara) Senior, the senior spook service. (Miles) It's been around a lot longer.
(Cara) You better believe it.
That's where it all starts and that's where it all goes down,
I mean, it trickles down from the Navy.
She was the editor of something called the Fact Sheet for three years, 1989-1991.
She had a .... (check) very high social security plan
I mean she saw all (blank) in this office were.
Eastern block scientists, some Western scientists
Lots of operation paperclip scientists, OK, working on weapons,
working on atmospheric weapons, electro-magnetics, psychology,
scalar weapons, you better believe it, all of that stuff.
Now, obviously my mother was not a scientist but she was also not --
she was also a very intelligent woman;
and so, even though she might not have understood everything
that went across her desk, she certainly understood enough of it
that the only thing she ever told me about what she saw was that
a lot of it scared the hell out of her: that's all she could ever tell me.
OK, so this was 89, 90 and 91.
This is what I'm thinking and then, when she retired,
she went back to Dog Run (check)
after they eliminated that position in London
and worked for a Surface Weapons there (check), for the Navy.
And then she retired, at the age of 60, moved to Hawaii,
and started working with independent contractors.
And in Hawaii, that's a huge, huge, huge business, it is their primary business.
Tourism is nothing compared to the government contracts business in Hawaii.
Anyway, she was technical editor for several companies who were trying
to get business with DARPA, another very, very very black entity in the United States.
Their funding is endless, bottomless.
So, I have to assume and always had to assume
that my mother saw lots and lots and lots of things.
So here was this little old lady who had been killed for seemingly no reason.
Several other people had stopped and she was almost across the street
and then boom, she was dead.
So, you know this -- because I was trying to get over the actual event,
because it really man-handled the entire town, this event,
a lot of people saw it, I just kind of lived with it for a while, and then
you know what happened, Miles?
December 31st, 2010, John Wheeler was killed in DC -- do you remember that?
(Miles) remind me (Cara) Well, he was the fellow
who supposedly was responsible for getting the Vietnam War Memorial
erected, but he was working as an independent contractor for the government,
he was a liaison between the Pentagon and some really serious (blank).
He was also an adviser, probably a security adviser, I'm trying to remember
to three presidents, and they found the guy in a dumpster --
do you remember this? (Miles) no but--
(Cara) Well, they did, they found him in a dumpster
(Miles) For the sake of argument (check) just tell it ....
(Cara) Yes. December 31st they found this guy in a dumpster.
He was a West Point graduate, I mean, his credentials were impeccable,
most surely, he was working for Alphabet operations, so he is not --
I mean, one would expect a man like him
to be working for all kinds of people like that, but it was so random
and so jarring that this had happened that it really reminded me of my mom.
And it's not that I thought they knew each other,
that's not what I mean at all, it's just that it took me back to this idea
that civilians working for the military could just potentially be expendable, yes?
OK, so I'm thinking about that on December 31st 2010
and then the next day, January 1st 2011,
is the day all the birds started falling from the sky in Arkansas.
And the fish start-- well, God knows how long it was actually happening
but this is when it came to our attention,
tens of thousands of birds fell out of the sky the next day,
the next day in Arkansas, and all the fish started washing up on the shores.
Yes? (Miles) Which is happening now.
(Cara) which has been happening daily, I mean, I've seen lists
of what's still going on, it's incredible what's going on. (8:09)
