Back in CW14 readers will recall that Jenny Randles
exposed the fact that the first circles in Hungary were claimed
as hoaxes. Despite this, thanks to the usual mass suppression of
embarrassing evidence, readers of The Cerealogist still
believe that the Hungarian circles are genuine artefacts of the
alien presence. Meanwhile, a second independent source has
carried a more detailed account of what happened. This account
appeared in the Summer 1993 issue of The Skeptical Inquirer
and is reprinted with the permission of CSICOP (P.O. Box
703, Buffalo, New York, 14226-0703, U.S.A.) :
During his visit in January 1992 to Budapest, Hungary, James
Randi was asked to address the winners of a science essay
competition for high-school students sponsored by the popular
science journal Termeszet Vilaga ("The World of
Nature"). Touched by the eagerness and fresh enthusiasm of
the youngsters, Randi founded a prize of U.S.$ 300 for the best
investigation of paranormal phenomena by students using
scientific methods, irrespective of its conclusion.
Applications were invited and the best contribution was
selected by a committee consisting of scientists as well as
members of the journal's editorial board.
The winners of the 1993 James Randi Prize are Gabor Takacs and
Robert Dallos of Szekesfehervar, Hungary. The boys, both
17-year-old juniors at St. Stephen Agricultural Technicum - a
high school specializing in agriculture - decided to repeat the
performance of English farmers preparing a crop circle, which
they read about in the Hungarian Reform.
During the night of June 8, 1992, they prepared a crop circle
near Szekesfehervar, in the vicinity of a drive-in movie, using a
rope and a stick. Since the length of the rope just happened to
be 18 meters, the diameter of the circle was necessarily 36
metres, a number that "experts" attributed special
significance to. Contrary to expectations, it took the boys about
three hours of hard work to prepare the circle, since they didn't
want to make any noise or disturbance. Since the crop was still
green, it could be bent without breaking and loss of seeds. While
they made special efforts to cover the tracks they had made,
heavy rains following the event further obliterated any sign of
fabrication. The youngsters then sat back to wait until the
"discovery" was made.
The crop circle was discovered on June 26, 1992 [ie 18 days
later, PF], by Laszlo Otvos, a helicopter pilot of the
Aerocartias air rescue service, who reported his discovery to his
superiors as well as the press. After the press release of their
finding the usual pandemonium broke out. "Experts" from
all over the country investigated the site and the circle, and by
drawing numerous conclusions they declared it to have been
created by UFOs. Thousands of people visited the site waiting to
see UFOs landing and at the same time caused considerable damage
to the crop.
The hoax was disclosed in a popular TV show hosted by Sandor
Friderikusz on September 3. The kids proved their case by showing
photos taken from exactly the same position before and after the
circle was made. The TV show was a tremendous success, since in
front of millions of viewers the invited "UFO experts"
were shown to have been completely wrong.
After the disclosures, the owner of the field, Aranykalasz Co.
[a collective farm], sued the youngsters for Fts. 630,000 (approx
US $ 8,000) in damages. The Hungarian Skeptics immediately
offered moral as well as financial help to the young
"skeptics". A few months later the court ruled that the
kids are responsible only for the damage caused in a circle of 36
meters diameter, amounting to about Fts. 6,000 (about US $ 76).
The rest of the damage was caused by the media.
The "crop circle kids" - as they are now called in
Hungary - were awarded the first James Randi Prize on February 7,
1993.
Gyula Bencze [who is a physicist with the Central Research
Institute for Physics, in Hungary].
A second article by Gyula Bencze and James Randi has appeared
in the Californian Skeptic, titled "The Great
Hungarian Crop Circle" (1993). This article gives us some
further information :
- Szekesfehervar is about 40 miles west of Budapest;
- many witnesses came forward claiming that they had seen
"little green folks" and UFOs hovering over the field
prior to the hoaxers' expose;
- the field where the circles appeared was invaded by thousands of people, some of whom even camped out waiting for the UFOs to reappear (just as they did during the Warminster era and later at Alton Barnes when the crop circle myth was at its peak);
- UFO "experts" measured abnormal levels of
radiation in the circle and warned that the circle had been
created by a "deadly" phenomenon;
- UFOlogist Karoly Hargitai and "time-scientist"
Gyorgy Kisfaludy both claimed that the circle had been made by
extraterrestrials and that it was impossible for humans to have
made the circle. Kisfaludy claimed that by examining the circle
"in six dimensions" he (alone) had been able to decode
the extraterrestrials' message to mankind;
- Hargitai and Kisfaludy were the two UFO believers who
promoted the circle as genuine on Channel 1 TV, Budapest. The two
hoaxers had read about the circles in the Hungarian press. They
chose the night of June 8th to make the circle because they knew
that recent heavy rains would make it easier to depress the
grass;
- even after the hoaxers confessed the True Believers
continued promoting the circle as genuine. Kisfaludy claimed that
he had surveyed the Sekesfehervar area just prior to the
discovery of the circle but had not found the circle or the
hoaxers. It is not known how Kisfaludy would have known that the
circle was going to appear in the Sekesfehervar area prior to its
appearance.
Gyula Bencze has kindly sent me further information which is
highly relevant to the crop circle debate.
(1) The fine levied by the court against the teenage
hoaxers was eventually paid for by the TV show, as were the legal
expenses. Gyula Bencze points out that contrary to the
UFOlogists' claims the court's ruling implied that the circle was
NOT caused by UFOs!
(2) The other circles that appeared in Hungary all
post-dated this hoax and (unlike in Britain) received only
limited publicity via local newspapers. Only the Hungarian
UFOlogists kept a close tally on the later circles.
(3) Following the TV expose a leading member of the UFO
believers challenged the crop circle hoaxers to make a circle
under test conditions so that they could examine the circle
themselves (which of course was exactly what happened with Doug
and Dave).
The father of one of the hoaxers told the UFO believers to
"go to hell". The UFO believers then wrote to Professor
Szentagothai, the chairman of the Hungarian Skeptics, asking him
to approach the crop circle hoaxers on their behalf. He too told
the UFO believers where to go. The UFO believers were furious and
made this correspondence public via some national newspapers.
Surprisingly nothing else appears to have happened. Gyula Bencze
notes that these same believers failed to publicly challenge the
court's decision to award damages against the hoaxers. This
appears to be an acceptance on their part that the circle was a
hoax !
(4) To Gyula Bencze's knowledge there have been no crop
circles in Hungary during 1993 or 1994. Neither is he aware of
any crop circle cases predating 1992. Of course this evidence is
deeply damaging for those who claim that crop circles are a
natural phenomenon. It is also damaging for those who have
promoted the Hungarian circles as genuine and UFO-related. Of
course it is possible that Hungary is not climatically or
agriculturally conducive to the formation of naturally-created
circular ground traces but this remains to be proven.
(5) Once again a crop circle hoax is shown to have been
perpetrated by a group of agricultural students - just like
earlier hoaxes at Wye College (CW8) and Brackenhurst
College of Agriculture (CW4 & CW9). Also, just
like the United Bureau of Investigation (the group that allegedly
made many of the large Wiltshire pictograms), the Hungarian
hoaxes were triggered by the media's promotion of events in
Britain. I'm not sure what the National Farmers Union will have
to say about the Skeptical Enquirer's allegation that the
Szekesfehervar hoax was based on hoaxers perpetrated by
"English farmers" !
(6) Again we have the spectacle of UFO
"experts" rushing to proclaim the circle as the rest of
an alien intelligence. It seems that no one in UFOlogy ever
learns from the disasters of yester-year. As long ago as 1968 an
Ohio High School team perpetrated a classic UFO landing hoax and
watched in amused astonishment as UFOlogists all over the USA
promoted their hoax. There is something about the UFO mythology
which makes normally sane and sober people act in the most manic
and ludicrous ways.
(7) I'm sure Doug and Dave will be very interested to
see the legal precedent set in Hungary that hoaxers are only
responsible for recompensing farmers for the loss of crop within
the circle. Unfortunately Hungary is not yet in the European
Community but presumably this ruling could be quoted if any
British farmers decide to take legal action against British crop
circle hoaxers (which seems distinctly unlikely given the three
year delay since Doug and Daves' admission in TODAY
newspaper). It is also interesting to see that this ruling
implied that 99 per cent of the damage caused in this particular
case was due to the mass trespass that followed the media's
promotion of the event. Again this seems like an important legal
precedent.
(8) I was somewhat disturbed to discover that the crop
circle hoaxers were financially and morally supported by the
Hungarian Skeptics and that the fine and legal costs were
eventually paid by the TV programme Friderikusz-show. This
seems to me to be a dangerous move on the part of the Skeptics,
for it is one thing to conduct experiments to demonstrate the
mass belief in an alien intelligence and the gullibility of UFO
"experts", but quite another to give financial support
to people accused of perpetrating a criminal act. Of course The
Crop Watcher often talks to people who have perpetrated crop
circle hoaxes - as do all the leading crop circle research groups
- but we have never given them money, not for any reason (even
Doug Bower pays a subscription, just like everyone else). Is it
justifiable to "reward" hoaxers with financial
incentives and moral support prior to court proceedings ? Perhaps
readers have a view about these actions ?
(9) According to that venerable source of reliable crop
circle information, the Circles Phenomenon Research
International Newsletter (Special Winter 1994 Edition, page
8) :
"Many have not grasped the true extent of the crop phenomenon [sic] in the country of Hungary. During 1992 alone, tens of single circles arrived in areas across the whole country. A 32 meter diameter circle appeared in Szekesfehervar, as well as numerous small grapeshots, and in Tiszaujvaros the first type 9 formation was found (circle with a single concentric ring). In fact, by the end of the season, circle sites dotted the whole country [a map is reproduced in Andrews' newsletter, PF], and the formations had evolved from single circles to singles and double ringed varieties. My data base [sic] confirms that this is the normal evolutionary trend [quite ! PF]. By harvest, even triangles were being reported and reports were coming in from nearby countries. A magnificent double ringed circle (was) found in Slovakia."
Andrews concludes :
"It is hard to consider a hoaxing explanation in these countries. They have little incoming news to feed the desire and are embroiled in events of such overbearing magnitude as to seemingly preclude the luxury of a night spent circle stomping".
Readers who wish to amuse themselves by reading this blatant
piece of dis-information and data suppression should contact
Andrews at PO Box 3378, Branford, Connecticut 06405, USA. Perhaps
you might like to inform Mr Andrews that this latest example of
the "genuine phenomenon" he has been investigating for
the past forty years were actually exposed as hoaxes TWO YEARS
AGO.
This fascinating case study reveals in microcosm how the crop
circle myth developed and spread out around the world. It
demonstrates how even a culture that has only recently been
exposed to the modern UFO mythology is ready and willing to
associate circular ground traces with an exotic causation. It
also shows that the UFO myth repeatedly generates the same motifs
- circular ground traces, alien messages and dangerously abnormal
radiation traces, to name but three. The existence of these same
motifs in case after case demonstrates conclusively that we are
witnessing the generation of a social myth, the same myth that
Ray Palmer and his science fiction associates created in the late
1940s.
The remarkable thing about the crop circle myth is that it
doesn't matter how many UFO experts are shown up on national TV,
no matter how many circles are shown to be man-made hoaxes, no
matter how much evidence is produced that exposes the exotic
mythology as a fraud, there are still people like Colin Andrews
or Gyorgy Kisfaludy who are prepared to continue deceiving the
public by suppressing unwelcome evidence and promoting the alien
crop circle mythology. Doesn't it just stink ?
All over the world this same social process is being repeated.
For decades to come farmers everywhere will wake up one morning
to find their fields invaded by hundreds of True Believers, all
of them victims and promoters of this great international fraud.
Perhaps if you are one of these farmers you might like to send
Andrews the bill for the financial loss you have suffered due to
Andrews' need to continue promoting the mythology he and Delgado
invented in the mid 1980s. If you are a sociologist I suggest you
watch, study and learn, for before our eyes we are witnessing the
continuing development of a full-blown religion that is based on
a series of blatant lies.
Our thanks go to Gyula Bencze and the Skeptics movement for
their helpful assistance in compiling this article.

Its not often that something new can be said about the highly
controversial topic of alleged encounters with aliens. However,
this book - which serves as an appetiser for UFOs - The
Electro-Magnetic Indictment (Cassell\Blandford, 1995) -
breaks new ground by developing a radical new perspective on the
subject. In his Introduction Albert Budden boldly states that
"... the experiences of visitation by a variety of
other-worldly beings, which have been documented and researched
by so many over the past decades, are the mental and
physiological products of a range of environmental illnesses,
shared by and coped with in their commonest form, by about 20 %
of the population". By treating the alien contact claim as
merely the symptom of an illness Albert Budden is sure to quickly
attract the usual contempt reserved for UFOlogists who fail to
promote the popular misconception of UFOlogy. Yet here is a
sensible, falsifiable theory which should be examined closely by
UFOlogists all over the world !
Allergies and Aliens makes what appears to be a strong case
for re-interpreting outrageous contact claims with new eyes. In
what could be a ground breaking piece of work Budden draws
heavily on the developing science of environmental health to
propose that many close encounter witnesses are electrically
hypersensitive to the saturation of our environment with
electronic pollution. Using numerous well-researched case studies
Budden demonstrates that many close encounter experiences appear
to occur in the proximity of radio transmitting masts, pylons,
underground cables and other sources of electromagnetic pollution
(eg RF "hot spots").
Drawing on recent experimental work at Breakspear Hospital in
Hertfordshire Budden applies the environmental scientist's claim
that electrically hypersensitive individuals develop a range of
acute allergies which reduce the ability of the body to cope with
ordinary stresses. In order to protect the body the subconscious
mind generates a suitable hallucination to warn the conscious
mind of danger. This is similar to the concept of the
"producer" in Hilary Evans' Visions, Apparitions,
Alien Visitors. In Budden's perspective the rapid increase in
electromagnetic radiation over the past few decades accounts for
the rise in reported close encounter cases. Because electronic
pollution is a new form of pollution it is perceived by the body
to be alien to its normal environment, thus the body's response
is to generate a hallucination with alien or other-worldly
symbology. What a super idea !
Allergies and Aliens contains a rich variety of diverse
case work. There are all kinds of "paranormal" events,
including poltergeist cases and UFO abductions, bedroom visitors,
even sightings of dinosaurs in Reading ! Budden goes on to
examine a range of unusual medical conditions that are known to
be triggered by exposure to intense electrical fields. Throughout Allergies
and Aliens readers are introduced to a whole new language -
exploding head syndrome, body image, electrosleep, kindling
phenomenon, and hyperaesthesia, to name but a few. The text will
be of particular interest to those UFOlogists who accept that
close encounter cases are purely subjective altered states of
consciousness which are triggered by unusual external stimuli.
There are brief references to Persinger's temporal lobe
experiments and Devereux's earth-lights theory, along with links
to serious medical conditions such as cancer, MS and ME. Budden's
synopsis is strengthened with numerous references to a recent
World Health Organisation report into the effects of
electromagnetic fields on populations.
By venturing into a new area of research Budden claims that
his hypothesis can even account for the "missing time"
phenomenon so beloved of abduction researchers. This is where one
begins to wonder how far one can take these concepts. In the
Aveley case (page 44) Budden suggests that three members of the
family were suspended in a trance-like state for 3 hours having
driven into a fog caused by the electrification of ground mist by
the presence of nearby electricity pylons. Budden suggests that
this green fog also caused the family's car to stall. Why third
parties never chance across cars stalled inside green mists with
the passengers all staring into the sky in a trance-like state
for three hours, is not explained.
One problem with the book is that it is home produced. As a
consequence it suffers from some interesting spelling mistakes
and awkward grammar. However, this should not detract from what
is a brave attempt to tackle phenomena which have been ignored by
science for too long. All this just wets my appetite for when The
Electromagnetic Indictment appears next Spring ! As this
issue goes to press I have learnt that Dr Kenneth Ring has given
this book a rave review.

In what could be a major legal precedent for alien abduction
researchers a court in California has awarded half a million
dollars in damages against two therapists who accidentally
implanted a false memory of childhood incest during hypnotic
regression sessions with 23 year old Holly Ramona. The case,
which has been widely covered in the British and American press,
was bought by Holly's father, Gary Ramona, who had previously
been a highly paid executive of a Napa Valley wine company. Holly
had visited therapists to find a cure for bulimia, but under
regression hypnosis and the use of sodium anytal (which was
incorrectly believed by the therapist to be a "truth
serum") Holly was wrongly informed that "70 to 80 per
cent" of bulimia patients were survivors of childhood incest
and sexual abuse. Like many close encounter witnesses Holly had
no conscious recollection of childhood abuse but following her
hypnotherapy treatment she openly accused her father of abusing
her between the ages of five and sixteen. Despite repeated
protestations of his innocence Gary Ramona lost his job, his
marriage and his family. Commenting on his successful lawsuit
Ramona claimed that "The jury accepted what I have always
known, that Holly's supposed memories are the result of the
defendants' drugs and quackery".
This decision, if upheld by any future legal proceedings, must
cause considerable alarm in certain quarters, for if one can put
a price on implanting "false" memories induced by
dubious hypnotic techniques, what level of damages could be
demanded for implanting false memories of abduction and rape by
cold all-powerful aliens ? For some years now UFO researchers in
Britain and the United States have been employing regression
hypnosis to find out what "really happened" during UFO
encounters. In most cases the hypnotists are not fully qualified
to conduct such work, and in the majority of cases the
hypnotherapists already have strong pro-alien intelligence
leanings, having been led to believe that UFO cases, if they
represent anything at all, represent encounters with alien
intelligences. Since 1988 the British UFO Research Association
imposed a moratorium on hypnotic regression techniques because of
mounting concern that the technique was potentially damaging to
witnesses well-being. Sadly this lead was not followed by other
UFO groups. Meanwhile, in North America the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation was founded to help victims of the technique to cope
with what appears to be nothing more than a trendy method of
legitimising sensational and otherwise unsubstantiated claims.
Now this concern has materialised in what could be a crucially
important court ruling.
According to The Times (May 16) over 400 families in
Britain are claiming to have suffered from similar false claims
induced by regression hypnosis :
"From today, all 'recovered memory' therapists have had a brake put on their lurid imaginings: the principle has been laid down that they are not only answerable to their own patients, but to others who their airy diagnoses may affect".
Already rumours reaching us suggest that leading US UFOlogists
are anticipating similar lawsuits from witnesses who have
realised that their status as UFO witnesses have been somewhat
exaggerated. We will report back on any further news.
Readers will recall that in CW21
I referred to various newspaper stories that the Mowing Devil
pamphlet was being sold at an auction being held by the Salisbury
firm of Woolley & Wallis on March 1st. I've now taken the
opportunity of speaking to Bill Hoade, the researcher at Woolley
& Wallis who was responsible for authenticating the pamphlet
that was offered for sale. Originally Woolley & Wallis
believed that they had the original Mowing Devil pamphlet and
were offering it for sale at a reserve price of nearly # 800.
However, Bill Hoade realised that in fact the pamphlet they were
offering for sale was merely a copy of the original because it is
marked "For H.T." after the "licensed 1676".
This resulted in the reserve price dropping to less than # 300.
It is not known who "H.T." is. However, Bill Hoade
determined that this printer's line had been trimmed on the
British Museum's copy.
Apparently there are three originals of the pamphlet in
existence. These are held at the British Museum in London, and
Princeton and Yale Universities in the U.S.A. The British Museum
copy was probably owned by John Brand (who lived between 1744 and
1806 or 1807), who bequeathed it to the British Museum in 1873.
Between 1810 and 1820 a London-based printer called Sturt loaned
the British Museum pamphlet and made at least 20 copies, 7 of
which are now in the U.S.A (eg at the University of North
Carolina, who still believe that their copy is an original !).
Another reprint took place in 1850. The pamphlet in Lewis Evans'
library in St. Albans at the turn of the 20th century was also a
copy.
From a crop circle point of view the most fascinating aspect
of this work is that according to Bill Hoade there would have
been little reason to reprint the original pamphlet on two
occasions unless something occurred which rekindled interest in
the pamphlet. Bill Hoade is of the opinion that this something
was a crop circle event, presumably taking place in the 1810-1820
period. I did suggest to him that in fact interest could have
been rekindled by a religious event of some kind, but Hoade
considered this unlikely. Andy Collins has informed me that a
well publicised will of the wisp (swamp light) case was reported
from Lincolnshire in 1811 so perhaps this was the trigger for the
sudden interest in the Mowing Devil case ?
Coincidentally Jenny Randles has informed me that Barry
Greenwood of CAUS has uncovered a series of unusual
UFO-style events that were debated by the U.S. Senate during the
1810-20 period. Again it is possible that this could be the
trigger event that initiated the reprinting of the Mowing Devil
pamphlet. We will keep readers informed of any further
developments. Many thanks to Bill Hoade for his kind assistance.
About a year ago Bob Kingsley (former Editor of The
Circular) asked your Editor to contact Meaden's peers, ie
those meteorologists who attended the 1990 Circles Effect
Conference in Oxford. The aim of this was to gauge how the hoax
revelations of recent years have affected support for Meaden's
postulated plasma vortex hypothesis.
On 13th May 1994 I sent a draft copy of my Fortean
Times UNconvention lecture to the following : Prof. Y.H.
Ohtsuki, Prof. Christopher Church, Dr Tokio Kikuchi, Prof.
Hiroshi Kikuchi, Prof. John Snow and Dr John Graham. As this
issue went to print on August 1st it is not too surprising that
to date I have only received one reply, from Tokio Kikuchi, at
Kochi University, Japan. I have clarified his text in one or two
places and a copy of his original letter is available from the Editorial address on page 28. His
letter is dated May 20th 1994:
"Thank you for sending me the manuscript of address at
UNconvention to be held in June in advance. Although I visited
England twice, they were not at the last conference and, not
having enough time, I am sorry that I could not meet you. I also
feel sorry not responding you last time on your manuscript for
Journal of Meteorology. I was simply very busy on establishing a
new Department of Information Science.
Since I have done a relatively primitive computer simulation
of vortex movement possible to create crop circle, I have always
been anxious to know the concurrent status of circles research in
England. I am very pleased to read your text in advance and to
know that your view is very close to my own.
Nevertheless, I also realise there are some differences among
us particularly on usage of 'plasma' as keyword to solve the
problem.
I would like to summarise my own viewpoint :
Regarding the hoax and natural phenomenon statistics [that 99
per cent of post 1975 crop circles in Britain are hoaxes], Mr
Fuller's account seems plausible.
Retrospectively, I must admit I have made public comments like
that most of the circles are genuine including the complex
patterns, mostly because I had been getting information through
Dr Meaden and that seemed to be the standpoint of him. These were
not correct at most.
On the other hand, I have a little different view on the
theoretical account :
- From a theoretical view, any explanation must at least
include mechanical and energetic considerations. I should say
that 'plasma vortex' theory by Dr Meaden (and Prof. Ohtsuki)
lacked these. If a microwave oven can create a 1 cm diameter
'circle' on an aluminium foil, then what is the energy required
to create a few meter diameter circle in the field, and how is it
compared with, say, lightning ? How is a circle formed -
radially, or like the opening of a fan ?
- If you learned a little about atmospheric electricity, you
will realise that it is very difficult to get [understand the ?]
energy source of plasma formation. Without any plausible
explanation, plasma vortex theory, despite of its publicity with
the name of Nature, failed to attract physics and meteorology
researchers. Using the keyword 'plasma' will only distract
serious researchers. It is like explaining 'unidentified' with
'unknown'.
My theoretical work (see Kikuchi and Meaden, 1991) explains
[that] the circles must be formed like [the] opening of a fan and
a few meter circle is possible with ordinary scale whirlwinds
(land devils), if a vortex is configured in a very special
position. The work was mostly inspired by Prof. Snow's vortex
breakdown experiments presented at the last conference (with my
name as a second author). Since you have many eye witnesses
records, I suggest that you should compare these with [the]
theoretical [models] proposed by scientists. I hope your address
will be successful.
Yours Sincerely, T. Kikuchi.
The Crop Watcher will publish the remaining replies if
and when we receive them. David Reynolds will summarise these
responses and reply to them on behalf of CERES.
Andy Collins has issued an update (dated 24 April 1994) of his
Earthquest Project. Collins gives news about his group's
intentions to continue some of the work conducted during the
Orgone 93 Project later this summer. Collins notes that crop
circles do not form an integral part of the group's objectives
because "their presence is ceasing to be of any true value
to our research".
Of more interest are the claimed results of several
meditational sessions conducted by the Earthquest group during
April. It is claimed that statistically significant anomalous
radiation readings occurred during each meditation. Your Editor
hopes to analyse this data in a future issue. Further
photographic anomalies are claimed but no photos included.
Later this summer Collins intends to circulate a 300 page
private research document titled Alien Energy, which
discusses the results of the Orgone 93 Project in great detail.
Your Editor has been asked to comment on the draft text and I
will only say that some of the claims made in this document are
highly controversial. For further information about this work
