Jerry E. Smith’s interest in technology and its impact on society began early. At the impressionable age of eight he read Robert A. Heinlein’s Have Spacesuit, Will Travel, in which the teenaged hero is brought into an intergalactic court and forced to defend why humanity should not be terminated. That introduction to science- or speculative-fiction, which forced the reader to think, was overpowering. By age twelve he had read every sci-fi book in the local library; by the time he passed out of his teens he had read over 10,000 sci-fi and fantasy novels. What’s more he had become fascinated with ancient history and had read many of the surviving plays and epics of ancient Greece, Rome and Norse mythology. In school he excelled in the soft sciences (social studies and history). He had also begun what became a life-long study of the world’s great religions and philosophies.
Outside of school be became an activist, involved initially in the Civil Rights, and then the Anti-War movements. In 1967-68 he campaigned for Dick Gregory’s write-in bid for the Presidency. Throughout the late 1960s and early ’70s he attended anti-war rallies and worked for liberal candidates. As an idealistic youth, not realizing where the liberal agenda was really coming from, he even joined pro-one-world-government organizations like The World Federalist Association and The Gradualist Way to World Peace.
As the Vietnam War wound down he turned his activism to the Environmental Movement. He joined the Sierra Club and became a founding member of The Cousteau Society. In the 1990s he would discover that globalist control freaks (like Maurice Strong, head of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, who said: “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring about?”) had penetrated the environmental movement. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Jerry says, International Communism traded in its worn out red flag, wrapping itself in a new environmentalist green one.
“For proof of this,” Jerry wrote, “one hardly needs look further than the Green Cross International. Its purpose is to pick up where the Rio Earth Summit left off. It was founded in 1993 by Mikhail Gorbachev, a ‘hard line’ Communist and the last Supreme Dictator of the Soviet Union. ‘Gorbie,’ so beloved by the dominant, globalist owned media, said in an address to the United Nations, in December 1988: ‘Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a New World Order.’ What is Gorbie’s New World Order? The Green Cross says its mission is ‘to help create a sustainable future by cultivating harmonious relationships between humans and the environment. Green Cross concentrates its efforts on programs whose common theme is to promote a significant change in human values leading to greater respect and care for Earth’s community of life in all its diversity, and to address the environmental causes and consequences of wars and conflict.” Are you ready to have green-for-red commies change your values? I’m not.” With that, he left the environmental movement.
It was in 1991, or so, that Jerry read Timothy Good’s Above Top Secret and realized that one could not study UFOs to any depth without hitting Conspiracy Theory. UFOlogy is filled with evidence of government lies and cover-ups. At the same time he read a limited circulation underground book on Hitler’s disk-shaped aircraft. One of Jerry’s friends was intrigued with the possibility of building such a craft. Jerry’s attempt to find evidence, and technical specifications, for these craft led to the discovery that, at that time, there did not exist a museum of UFOs anywhere in the world – and he and Jim Keith decided to create one. For almost three years Jerry sank all the money he earned into trying to get the National UFO Museum (NUFOM) off the ground. The project was finally abandoned after Jim and Jerry learned that mainstream UFOlogy, in particular the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), did not take kindly to these strangers invading their turf and had started a whisper campaign against them.
In 1996, a few years after closing the doors on NUFOM, Jerry’s career really took off with the contracts to write A History of Rancharrah for John Harrah and HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy for Ron Bonds at Illuminet Press. Ron had contacted Jim Keith asking Jim to write a book for Illuminet on HAARP, telling him that HAARP was the hottest subject on the Internet at the time. Jim declined, on the grounds that he was backlogged on four book contracts – but Jim put Ron in contact with his friend, Jerry E. Smith. Ron gave Jerry the go-head on the project in February 1996. It took until September to complete the first draft. Ron hated the draft and cancelled the project. Jerry sat on the manuscript for a year before remembering David Hatcher Childress at Adventures Unlimited Press (AUP). AUP had helped NUFOM, providing it with a number of UFO and other “off trail” books. David, it turned out, was looking for a book on HAARP and snapped it up.
Jerry has made over 300 radio and television appearances plus speaking engagements from Brisbane, Australia, to The Bahamas, to Brazil. His bibliography of published works includes scores of articles and reviews, over a dozen ghost-written books, and three non-fiction works from Adventures Unlimited Press. His newest book is “WEATHER WARFARE: The Military’s Plan to Draft Mother Nature.” It is a follow up to his 1998 best seller “HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy.” 2005 saw the release of “SECRETS OF THE HOLY LANCE: The Spear Of Destiny In History & Legend” which was co-authored with George Piccard, who wrote “LIQUID CONSPIRACY: JFK, LSD, the CIA, Area 51, and UFOs.”
