Marshall Masters

1987 — Profound Experience While Producing a CNN Science Feature in Texas

From 1984 to 1988, Marshall worked as a science and technology featuresrnproducer for the Cable News Network (CNN) and the Texas Cable Networkrn(TNN).

Hisr CNN beat included all of the major universities in Texas and his mostrninteresting CNN assignment was a Halloween special on the Freetailr Mexican Bats of the Bracken Bat Cave with Merlin Tuttle. The cave isrnlocated in Central Texas and is home to the single largest collectionrnof warm blooded animals in the world. It was during this memorablernfield shoot that Marshall experienced “the force” (of Star Wars fame) as millions of Mexican free-tailed bats stream out of their cave atrndusk.

Torndate, Marshall continues to hold the record for hosting the longestrnrunning Cable TV computer software review feature. He wrote, produced, directed, and hosted a a three-minute PC software consumer advocaternsegment titled Software Corner, for ON-LINE. This weekly technologyrnprogram was cablecasted by the Texas Cable Network four times a week tornover four million homes.

1989 — San Francisco Earthquake

In 1989, Marshall moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in Informationrntechnology as a freelance technical writer. Two months later, the Lomar Prieta earthquake rocked the entire Bay Area during the World Series.

Marshallrnwas a few miles South of where the World Series was being held in Southr San Francisco. He had just started his car, which was parked in frontrnof a large warehouse filled with cyanide and other deadly chemicals, when the quake struck. The force of the quake was terrifying for himrnand the workers inside the warehouse because all of the gas, water andrnsewage mains in the building burst. Thankfully for all concerned, nonernof the deadly chemicals were unleashed.

Thernexperience was sudden, profound and long-lasting. Following the quake, he suffered what was then called “post quake syndrome” for severalrnmonths. The experience left Marshall with the keen personalrnobservation that once the TV camera crews leave and the streets arerncleaned up, those who survive the event remain forever changed.

Onerninteresting fallout of the quake was that Marshall made friends in Sanr Francisco’s robust Russian community and after the breakup of ther Soviet Union in 1991, opened a tour business specializing in Russia.

1992 to 1998 — Polar Ice Packs

Asrnpart of his travel business, he conducted hotel and excursionrninspections for his spring and summer bookings during the winterrnmonths.

From 1992 to 1998, hernroutinely flew the polar route from San Francisco to Moscow on Aeroflotr Airlines. The flights from San Francisco to Moscow were at night, andrnthe return legs were flown during the day.

Duringrnhis first Ilyushin Il-62 winter flight in 1992, he admired the pristinernand unbroken ice cap that passed beneath the jet airliner. Over thernyears, he continued flying the winter polar route with Aeroflot andrnwatched as the beautiful solid ice cap he’d seen in 1992 becamernprogressively broken. By his last winter flight in 1998, the ice caprnwas so broken it reminded him of a shattered windshield.

Duringrnthis last flight in 1998, that Marshall became convinced that globalrnwarming was in fact happening. Based on what he’d personally seen overrnthe years, he began his own personal research into the phenomenon ofrnglobal warming.

1999 — First Article Gets Five Million Hits

Afterrnclosing his travel business in 1998, Marshall continued his personalrnresearch into global warming and resumed working as a full timernfreelance technical writer in the Silicon Valley. He specialized inrncore Internet technologies and his client list included such notablernfirms as AT&T, HP, Lockheed, Oracle and SUN Microsystems.

Afterrnreading the “conventional” web sites reporting both pro and con onrnglobal warming, Marshall began surfing the Web in search of alternativernscience sites and happened upon a site that reported a coming lunarrneclipse would reveal the King of Terror comet prophesied byr Nostradamus.

It piqued Marshall’s curiosity and so he watched the eclipse as it was recorded live in Turkey by a NASA live video feed. Duringrnthe eclipse, he noticed an odd but very familiar camera movement. Something appeared outside the camera’s viewfinder frame and thernvideographer instinctively shifted the camera to capture it on tape. As a CNN science features producer, he’d often seen his ownrnvideographers do the same.

Herndownloaded a Quicktime file of the NASA feed and conducted arnframe-by-frame analysis, during which he identified 3 objects. Hisrnfindings were first published on the Millennium Group web site in anrnarticle titled, Analysis of NASA Video Feed Solar Eclipse as Seen From Turkey on August 11, 1999. This article received over 5 million hits in the first 6 months andrnlaunched Marshall’s ongoing research into space threats, global warmingrnand global catastrophes.

2000 — Inspiration at Masada

During a trip to Israel in April 2000, Marshall and his wife Yelena visited the mountain fortress of Masada at the edge of the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea valley. It was there, he would find his mission in life.

In 72 C.E. the Roman governor Flavius Silva laid siege to the Jewishrnresistance fighters who along with their families had taken refuge onr Masada. When the soldiers of Silva’s Tenth Legion breached thernfortress, they found that everyone had committed suicide, save for twornwomen and five children. It was a hollow victory for the Romans.

Havingrnexplored every accessible nook and cranny of Masada, Marshall stood atrna spot overlooking the Roman Siege Ramp and met an Israeli historian. After exchanging a few pleasantries he asked her “so what’s the lessonrnhere? That dying for your beliefs is a noble thing?”

Shernturned to him and smiled. “No,” she answered thoughtfully, “the realrnlesson of Masada is that you always need to have a Plan B.” Herrnobservation was a common sense, survival epiphany for Marshall, and itrndefined his new mission in life.

Awakenedrnto space threat dangers, Marshall also knew that everyone has a Plan Arnof some sort, for surviving the next global catastrophe and that tryingrnto change that fact is pointless. He therefore resolved himself tornfind a realistic Plan B, and to share with it others.

2000 — Launch of YOWUSA.COM

Following an inspiring visit to Israel in 2000, Marshall formally launched Your Own World USA with Jacco van der Worp, Janice Manning and Steve Russell.

Hisrncofounders shared his interest in Earth changes, global warming andrnspace threats and initially wrote primarily about Earth changes andrnspace threats via asteroids and comets.

Onernof their earliest findings in 2001 is that CO2 emissions play anrnaggravating role in global warming, and that the principal engine ofrnglobal warming is the Sun. These findings were later corroborated inrnthe July 2006 edition of CO2 Science Magazine

Yearsrnafter seeing a progressive melt of the polar cap during his Aeroflotrnflights , the question in Marshall’s mind centered on the cause, andrnthis has driven his research since then.

2001 — National TV Appearances

Marshall first appeared on PAX TV in a program titled “Is There a Doomsday Asteroid?” on the “Encounters with the Unexplained” television program. Firstrnaired on March 20, 2001, the show was hosted by Jerry Orbach (Law andr Order.) Another guest featured in this program was Dr. Brian Marsden, Associate Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysics Observatories.

Afterrnthe show aired, Marshall and Dr. Marsden began having discussions aboutrnspace threats in general, and Marshall interviewed Dr. Marsden forrnarticle titled Astronomers Fear an ME Impact Event Could Precipitate a Nuclear Holocaust, which he published in November of that year.

In July of that year, PAX TV producer Gail Fallen asked Marshall to appear in a second show to present a case for the K-T Deccan Traps volcanism-induced carbon cycle perturbation extinction theory of Dewey McLean. PAX producers wanted to challenge to the more widelyrnheld K-T impact extinction theory originated by the Nobel laureaternphysicist, Luis Alvarez, to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs.

At about the same time, Kuiper Belt Object 2001 KX76 was discovered. During one of their conversations, Dr. Marsdenrnexpressed his delight at the discovery of KX76 because there was nowrntangible proof that even larger objects could be orbiting our sun farrnbeyond Pluto. This in fact was proven true, with the discovery of UB3I3 in 2003. Dubbed Xena, this Kuiper Belt Object orbits our sun and is larger than Pluto.

Likewisernexcited by the discovery of KX76 and mindful of Gail Fallen’s requestrnfor a second TV guest appearance, Marshall enlisted the aide of Dr. Marsden to help him create a plausible scenario. After weighing all thernpossibilities, the scenario they chose hinged upon a flyby of a largernasteroid through the upper atmosphere. The shockwave of such an eventrnwould have been more than enough to trigger the Deccan Trapsrnsupervolcano eruption. Marshall sent his script to PAX, who gladlyrnaccepted it without any changes, and he was later videotaped.

However, the broadcasted show completely ignored the scenario Marshall developedrnwith the help of Dr. Marsden. Instead, it used sound bytes by Marshallrnto substantiate a creationist theory that humans and dinosaursrncohabited the Earth. After that program aired, Dr. Marsden quitrnreturning Marshall’s calls. Disappointed by this setback, Marshallrnpublished his original PAX script in his cornerstone article, Did Planet X / Nibiru Kill The Dinosaurs? in January 2002.

2002 — Godschild Covenant

Inspiredrnby the flyby scenario he created with Dr. Marsden, and theirrndiscussions regarding KX76, Marshall’s focus shifted once again in 2002. This time, to the potential threats posed by massive objects inrnlong period orbits around our Sun, and so he began authoring severalrnarticles on Planet X with other Your Own World USA cofounders.

Through his study of asteroid and comet impact events he became impressed by the catastrophic deep time cycle of our planet.

Manyrnexperts talk about impact events like insurance actuaries, because theyrnassign fixed intervals between different types of impact events. However, the real history of our planet paints a an entirely differentrnstory. One in which thousands of years of relative quiescence, arernabruptly punctuated by brief extinction level impact events. Hence ourrnhuman tendency to forget that global catastrophes can and do happen.

Nowrnconvinced of a broader catastrophic threat from any number of largernobjects in long period orbits around our sun, Marshall’s focus turnedrnto finding the key to human survival following such events. Thisrninspired him to write Godschild Covenant: Return of Nibiru.

A 488-page adventure novel published in 2002, and based on his researchrninto a planet called Nibiru, which according to ancient Sumerian textsrnorbits our sun every 3600 years.

Afterrnfinishing the book he found the key to human survival as the author ofrnthe work. Assuming enough people survive a future Extinction Level Event (E.L.E.), the best hope for our species is not our gizmos. Rather, we can handily survive the worst hardships of a post-historicrnworld, provided men and women love and cherish each other for theirrndifferences as coequals.

Sincernthen, Marshall’s interest has remained focused on the human aspects ofrnthe survival question. Also, this wasn’t the only result of his secondrn(and disappointing) interview with PAX.

2004 — Cut to the Chase

In 2004, Marshall broadened his search to include the findings of otherrnalternative science researchers and authors by interviewing them as arnradio host / researcher. The easiest approach was to start his ownr Internet radio program titled Cut to the Chase, which he continues to produce on an ad-hoc basis. The shows arernapproximately one hour long and serve as a convenient way for Marshallrnto meet other researchers so that he can query them about their work, relative to his own.

Twornof the interviews Marshall has hosted really clicked with his ownrnresearch. They were with author Michael A. Cremo and Mayanr Anthropologist George Erikson.

According to Michael Cremo, the co-author of Forbidden Archeology and author of Human Devolution, modern man is 2 billion years old, and humankind keeps returning afterrnglobal catastrophes to repopulate the Earth. He bases his theory onrnrecent archeological findings.

George Erikson, is a noted Mayan anthropologist and author of Atlantis in America, and he states that the end of the current Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012 will be heralded by the return of an object the Mayans fearedrnas the “Red Comet.”

2005 — The Kolbrin Bible

Marshall began finding parallels to their conclusions in The Kolbrin Bible. This book is a secular Egyptian-Celtic wisdom book that dates backrnapproximately 3600 years. This ancient anthology offers clearrnanthropological snapshots of folklore as it was taught by the wisest ofrnthe wise in the time of Moses and Jesus. It also offers clearrncorroboration for the work of Cremo and Erikson.

According to historical accounts in The Kolbrin Bible, we represent the second time that modern man has populated the Earth. The first time was during the time of the dinosaurs and we went extinctrnalong with the dinosaurs during the KT Extinction Event some 65 millionrnyears ago. These accounts tend to support Michael Cremo’s findings.

According to George Erikson, anthropologist and author of Atlantis in America, the Mayan ‘Red Comet’ that is prophesied to return in 2012 withrncataclysmic results. This object s extensively documented by numerousrnancient Egyptian authors in The Kolbrin Bible and was known to them as the “Destroyer.” They tell us it caused bothr Noah’s Flood and the Ten Plagues of Exodus and warn us that it willrnretu in our near future. The ancient Celtic authors of the The Kolbrin Bible also document this object. It was known to them as the “Frightener” andrnthey too warn us that this object will return with catastrophicrnconsequences for life as we know it.

What motivated Marshall to publish The Kolbrin Bible, a work nearly as large as the King James Bible, is that it is notrnhistory as it was written by the victors. Nor is it inspired by God. Rather, it is the written history of those who survived the greatestrnnatural global catastrophes of the past, which makes it a unique andrntimely survival text for those wishing to survive the next globalrncatastrophe.

With the help ofrnfellow Mensan and Your Own World USA cofounder Janice Manning, Marshallrnpublished the first edition of The Kolbrin Bible in April 2005 inrnseveral print and eBook formats. In May 2006, he published a secondrnedition with an updated history of the work, plus an alphabetical indexrnwith over 2700 unique entries.

Marshall’s current role is to create awareness of this work as a secular survival guide.
