So this reminded me a lot of Robert Temple. When he published his book, "The Sirius Mystery", a 33rd Degree Freemason wrote to him telling him that he wanted him to join Masonry, and that if he decided to do so, he personally would rig the system to get him to fly through the levels, all the way to the top, where he could sit in with the counsel of elders as a newly minted 33rd Degree Freemason in only a few months time. The man who made this spectacular offer to him died before Dr. Temple made up his mind about going along with the plan. No other Mason (33rd Degree or otherwise) reached out again. It was only this one that felt that Dr. Temple was truly onto something in his work.
That was the kind of experience that Tracy Twyman had sought, but she nor Dr. Temple ever got to become 33rd Degree Freemasons at all. But anyway, these stories drove me to revisit Dr. Temple's work. What did that deceased Freemason see in it? And what was the connection to Masonry at all?
The answer was in Twyman's work. After Dr. Temple published, the Typhonian Order sprang forth. Freemasonry, involving the study of Solomon's Temple and Mithras, naturally had an interest in whatever drove this new order.
When Mithras became Yaldabaoth and created our world, he is seen holding seven stars in his left hand. These are the constellation stars of Artemis and her seven hunter goddess followers. The eighth star and the eighth follower of Artemis dropped out of the sky when she became mortal by marrying a man. She became known as Typhon. Artemis became known as Set.
Some connection between Mithras and Typhon exists but unfortunately Tracy Twyman died before she made it that far in her own investigations. She found evidence in the British Museum that the Templars worshipped these kinds of deities in a form of Ophite Gnosticism.
But what matters for this thread here is that Dr. Temple said this in his lecture:

Interesting that plasma physics become relevant here. Despite starting out with studies into the occult. Will this actually help shed light on the Riconosciuto-Lavas technologies? I don't know but let's start with that book that Raymond said to check out.........Benard cells can do something called developing long-range order. This happens with very simple things called Benard cells on the surface of a fluid in a pan that's heated by thermal convection. You have a perfectly featureless surface of the fluid and and suddenly it forms these strange cells. And analysis by chemists shows that long-range order appears within these cells that which is ten million times the order that existed before the cell formed. And you seem to be able to get faster-than-light contact within cells, which you can't get outside cells. And it is not impossible, although this is my speculation only, that the Sirius system, being part of a cell with our solar system, have a much more intimate connection then we imagine.
Quote from Trickfox:
Well I have this book now checked out from the library. Page 448 is a part of the index. I am searching all the terms in the index and not coming up with anything. What is the "incident" that Raymond Lavas was involved in? Where is it described in the book?The above "intelligent Noise" article is a Science Fiction Magazine article so important to the security of the world that the article itself is quoted in an important book called "the Puzzle Palace".(click link below)
http://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-Palace-Ame ... B000BPG27Y
Go ahead and do a search function in the Amazon window click on "search in this book" and put the word ANALOG in the search box.
Item (2) is on page 448 of the book. There is more about this that links me directly with the incident described in the book, see this link: http://www.etoan.com/phasorphone-secret.html
Page 448 lists the terms alphabetically in the end of the Cs and the beginning of the Ds. I see CRYPTO AG listed on this page. On page 453 I see the INVENTION SECREY ACT. And at the beginning of that same page I see the INSTITUTE FOR DEFENSE ANALYSIS (IDA)...
Perhaps what Raymond meant are the terms listed on pages 443 and 444. On page 443, ANALOG is written. And directly afterward on page 444, ANALOG OPTICAL COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY is written. These point to pages 356 and 102, respectively.
Page 102 is about the Cray supercomputers. However, on page 356, I see the reference to Nicolai and the Analog Magazine. This must be it!
So this is what Raymond Lavas wanted us all to see.....

Sound to anyone here like maybe this is where J Eric Roskos, and the INSLAW-PROMIS affair, have started to come into effect?
In the spring of 1976 the first CRAY-1 rolled out of the firm's production plant in Chippewa Falls, Minnesota, and, apparently, directly into the basement of the Puzzle Palace. A second was quietly delivered to NSA's think tank, the Communications Research Division of the Institute for Defense Analysis at Princeton University.
With a random access semiconductor memory capable of transferring up to 320 million words per second, or the equivalent of about twenty-five hundred 300-page books, NSA could not have been disappointed. And when it was hooked up to the computer's specialized input-output subsystem, the machine could accommodate up to forty-eight disk storage units, which could hold a total of almost 30 billion words, each no further away than eighty millionths of a second.
On top of this, NSA in 1983 plans to put into operation secretly an enormous worldwide computer network code-named Platform, which will tie together fifty-two separate computer systems used throughout the world. Focal point, or "host environment," for the massive network will be NSA headquarters at Fort Meade. Among those included in Platform will be the British SIGINT organization, GCHQ.
But even with the power of the CRAY-1, the Puzzle Palace is still searching for more speed, more power, and more memory capacity with such concepts such as digital applications of Josephson Junction technology, optical logic elements, magnetic bubbles, and laser recording. Currently, the NSA is conducting advanced research into analog optical computing technology as well as both light-sound interaction devices and charge-transfer devices for achieving more than one quadrillion (or 1,000,000,000,000,000) multiplications per second.
Now onto page 356, which is the important one that Raymond was talking about.... I will quote the story here as it starts on page 354 and runs to page 357.......
Six months earlier a foursome of inventors in Seattle, working in their spare time in the back of a garage, managed to develop a new kind of voice scrambler. Led by thirty-five-year-old Carl Nicolai, a job-shopper, or technical "Kelly girl", the group called its new invention the Phasorphone and submitted a patent application in October 1977. In April 1978, Nicolai finally received a response from the Patent Office. But when he opened the letter, he was stunned. Instead of a patent, his hands held a strange form with the words SECRET ORDER in large bold letters across the top.
Nicolai had suddenly been assaulted with one of the oldest weapons in the nation's national security arsenal: the Invention Secrecy Act. Passed in 1917 as a wartime measure to prevent the publication of inventions that might "be detrimental to the public safety or defense or might assist the enemy or endanger the successful prosecution of the war," the measure ended with the conclusion of World War I. The act was resurrected in 1940 and was later extended until the end of the Second World War. Then, like the phoenix, it once again rose from the ashes with the passage of the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, which mandated that secrecy orders be kept for periods of no more than one year unless renewed. There was a catch, however. The act also said that a secrecy order "in effect, or issued, during a national emergency declared by the President shall remain in effect for the duration of the national emergency and six months thereafter." Because no one ever bothered to declare an end to President Truman's 1951 emergency, the emergency remained in effect until September 1978.
Nicolai's secrecy order told him little except that he faced two years in jail and a $10,000 fine for disclosing any aspect of his device "in any way to any person not cognizant of the invention prior to the date of the order." Nowhere on the order did it say why it was issued or who ordered the action.
Unknown to the Seattle inventor, the patent application for his backyard scrambler had traveled through one of the government's least-known bureaucratic labyrinths - one littered with such security classifications as SUPER SECRECY and BLUE SLIP. Once submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office, it, like all other applications, was sent to a unit called the Special Laws Administrative Group, better known as the Secret Group. Here, several dozen specially cleared examiners separate the applications into chemical, electrical, or mechanical inventions and then, using guide lists provided by the various defense agencies, determine whether any contain national security information. Those they suspect are passed on to the Pentagon's Armed Services Patent Advisory Board (ASPAB), a sort of clearinghouse for secrecy orders, which then requests an opinion from the appropriate agency and coordinates the decision to invoke secrecy.
When Nicolai's Phasorphone reached the ASPAB, there was disagreement. The middle-level official at NSA responsible for such decisions wanted the secrecy order issued (although others within the Agency disagreed), and he was supported by the Air Force and Navy representatives. But the Army saw no reason for such a move, so the decision was kicked up to NSA's Director Inman for a final decision. He gave the go-ahead to the order.
Nicolai had thus become, in the slang of the ASPAB, a "John Doe." Of the three hundred or so secrecy orders issued each year, all but a very few are either on inventions the government has originated itself and already classified, or on inventions somehow connected with the government. A John Doe is one of the few outside this circle. In this instance, John Doe was hopping mad.
The object of Nicolai's patent application and the NSA's anxiety was a voice privacy system that relied more, apparently, on the science of transmission security than cryptography. As opposed to cryptography, which merely renders the contents of a message unintelligible to those without the key, transmission security conceals the very existence of the message itself. The seed for the Phasorphone was planted in 1960 in an article on communications security by Alfred Pfanstiehl for Analog magazine. Pfanstiehl suggested that instead of the traditional method of transmission, where signals are sent between transmitter and receiver over a single frequency, a system of pseudo-random wave forms be used. Under such a system a code could be devised using pseudorandom alterations of the frequency spectrum exactly synchronized between transmitter and receiver. The system held promise for an area particularly vulnerable to eavesdropping: CB and marine band radio. But it could also be modified for telephone.
What was so worrisome to the NSA, it seems, was the movement by the private sector into yet another once-exclusive domain. For years the agency had been putting strong emphasis on the marriage of cryptography and transmission security for hidden communications with submarines and clandestine agents in hostile foreign countries.* Such techniques included frequency-hopping, where messages are bounced from frequency to frequency at more than a thousand times a second; burst communications, where a message is supercompressed into a brief "squirt"; and spread spectrum techniques, where a signal is first diluted to a millionth of its original intensity and then intermingled with background noise.
To add insult to injury, Nicolai was planning to market his Phasorphone at a price most buyers could easily afford, about $100, thus increasing the interest in the technology.
That the NSA was suddenly attempting to flex its muscles in the patent area could be seen in the fact that the very day that Nicolai's secrecy order was issued, another inventor was opening a secrecy order on yet another invention.
[*FOOTNOTE: In 1973, TRW began designing a satellite system for use by the CIA in communicating with agents in "denied areas." Code-named Pyramider, the system employed frequency-hopping. This provided the agent with large "safe areas" in cities, where the signals could be hidden among random urban radio transmissions. The system was also capable of reducing aircraft interception in remote areas to a radius of twenty nautical miles. (See Robert Lindsey, The Falcon and the Snowman [New York: Simon & Schuster, 1979], page 218.)]
Dr. George I. Davida, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Wisconsin, had submitted a patent application for a "stream" cipher device, incorporating advanced mathematical techniques, about the same time Nicolai submitted his Phasorphone application. Now, like his Seattle counterpart, Davida had also become a John Doe.
Whatever the NSA had hoped to accomplish by its rapid one-two punch was lost in the embarrassing public battle that followed. Soon after Davida received his secrecy order, Werner Baum, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin's Milwaukee campus, sent off a letter to the director of the National Science Foundation, which sponsored Davida's project, denouncing the secrecy order and calling for "minimal due process guarantees." He then told Science magazine that he regarded the order an invasion of his faculty's academic freedom and said that it smacked of McCarthy-era tactics against universities.
After first winning the support of Senator Warren Magnuson, Nicolai also turned to Science and later charged that the order "appears part of a general plan by the NSA to limit the privacy of the American people." He added, "They've been bugging people's telephones for years and now someone comes along with a device that makes this a little harder to do and they oppose this under the guise of national security."
I think a lot of this information was already in those links Raymond attached to his posts and that some of it I recognized word-for-word was already typed up in them. So for me, there was no new information in this story, as Raymond already talked about it before in some other posts, and I think he said also that one of the men in the Seattle foursome was his personal mentor and trainer. Checking his resume, he got a two-year degree in radio and communication technology involving electrodynamics and physics training and went to work for perhaps the CIA afterwards. I don't know which of the four men mentored him, or if the mentoring was even through the company that Raymond worked for, or the school he attended....
