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

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

 

His
CNN beat included all of the major universities in Texas and his most
interesting CNN assignment was a Halloween special on the Freetail
Mexican Bats of the Bracken Bat Cave with Merlin Tuttle. The cave is
located in Central Texas and is home to the single largest collection
of warm blooded animals in the world. It was during this memorable
field shoot that Marshall experienced “the force” (of Star Wars fame)
as millions of Mexican free-tailed bats stream out of their cave at
dusk.

 

To
date, Marshall continues to hold the record for hosting the longest
running Cable TV computer software review feature. He wrote, produced,
directed, and hosted a a three-minute PC software consumer advocate
segment titled Software Corner, for ON-LINE. This weekly technology
program was cablecasted by the Texas Cable Network four times a week to
over four million homes.

1989 — San Francisco Earthquake

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

 

Marshall
was a few miles South of where the World Series was being held in South
San Francisco. He had just started his car, which was parked in front
of a large warehouse filled with cyanide and other deadly chemicals,
when the quake struck. The force of the quake was terrifying for him
and the workers inside the warehouse because all of the gas, water and
sewage mains in the building burst. Thankfully for all concerned, none
of the deadly chemicals were unleashed.

 

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

 

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

1992 to 1998 — Polar Ice Packs

As
part of his travel business, he conducted hotel and excursion
inspections for his spring and summer bookings during the winter
months.

 

From 1992 to 1998, he
routinely flew the polar route from San Francisco to Moscow on Aeroflot
Airlines. The flights from San Francisco to Moscow were at night, and
the return legs were flown during the day.

 

During
his first Ilyushin Il-62 winter flight in 1992, he admired the pristine
and unbroken ice cap that passed beneath the jet airliner. Over the
years, he continued flying the winter polar route with Aeroflot and
watched as the beautiful solid ice cap he’d seen in 1992 became
progressively broken. By his last winter flight in 1998, the ice cap
was so broken it reminded him of a shattered windshield.

 

During
this last flight in 1998, that Marshall became convinced that global
warming was in fact happening. Based on what he’d personally seen over
the years, he began his own personal research into the phenomenon of
global warming.

1999 — First Article Gets Five Million Hits

After
closing his travel business in 1998, Marshall continued his personal
research into global warming and resumed working as a full time
freelance technical writer in the Silicon Valley. He specialized in
core Internet technologies and his client list included such notable
firms as AT&T, HP, Lockheed, Oracle and SUN Microsystems.

 

After
reading the “conventional” web sites reporting both pro and con on
global warming, Marshall began surfing the Web in search of alternative
science sites and happened upon a site that reported a coming lunar
eclipse would reveal the King of Terror comet prophesied by
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. During
the eclipse, he noticed an odd but very familiar camera movement.
Something appeared outside the camera’s viewfinder frame and the
videographer instinctively shifted the camera to capture it on tape.
As a CNN science features producer, he’d often seen his own
videographers do the same.

 

He
downloaded a Quicktime file of the NASA feed and conducted a
frame-by-frame analysis, during which he identified 3 objects. His
findings were first published on the Millennium Group web site in an
article 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 and
launched Marshall’s ongoing research into space threats, global warming
and 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 Jewish
resistance fighters who along with their families had taken refuge on
Masada. When the soldiers of Silva’s Tenth Legion breached the
fortress, they found that everyone had committed suicide, save for two
women and five children. It was a hollow victory for the Romans.

 

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

 

She
turned to him and smiled. “No,” she answered thoughtfully, “the real
lesson of Masada is that you always need to have a Plan B.” Her
observation was a common sense, survival epiphany for Marshall, and it
defined his new mission in life.

 

Awakened
to space threat dangers, Marshall also knew that everyone has a Plan A
of some sort, for surviving the next global catastrophe and that trying
to change that fact is pointless. He therefore resolved himself to
find 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 <yowusa.com> with Jacco van der Worp, Janice Manning and Steve Russell.

His
cofounders shared his interest in Earth changes, global warming and
space threats and initially wrote primarily about Earth changes and
space threats via asteroids and comets.

 

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

Years
after seeing a progressive melt of the polar cap during his Aeroflot
flights , the question in Marshall’s mind centered on the cause, and
this 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. First
aired on March 20, 2001, the show was hosted by Jerry Orbach (Law and
Order.) Another guest featured in this program was Dr. Brian Marsden,
Associate Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysics Observatories.

After
the show aired, Marshall and Dr. Marsden began having discussions about
space threats in general, and Marshall interviewed Dr. Marsden for
article 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 widely
held K-T impact extinction theory originated by the Nobel laureate
physicist, 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. Marsden
expressed his delight at the discovery of KX76 because there was now
tangible proof that even larger objects could be orbiting our sun far
beyond 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.

 

Likewise
excited by the discovery of KX76 and mindful of Gail Fallen’s request
for a second TV guest appearance, Marshall enlisted the aide of Dr.
Marsden to help him create a plausible scenario. After weighing all the
possibilities, the scenario they chose hinged upon a flyby of a large
asteroid through the upper atmosphere. The shockwave of such an event
would have been more than enough to trigger the Deccan Traps
supervolcano eruption. Marshall sent his script to PAX, who gladly
accepted it without any changes, and he was later videotaped.

 

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

2002 — Godschild Covenant

Inspired
by the flyby scenario he created with Dr. Marsden, and their
discussions regarding KX76, Marshall’s focus shifted once again in
2002. This time, to the potential threats posed by massive objects in
long period orbits around our Sun, and so he began authoring several
articles 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.

 

Many
experts talk about impact events like insurance actuaries, because they
assign fixed intervals between different types of impact events.
However, the real history of our planet paints a an entirely different
story. One in which thousands of years of relative quiescence, are
abruptly punctuated by brief extinction level impact events. Hence our
human tendency to forget that global catastrophes can and do happen.

Now
convinced of a broader catastrophic threat from any number of large
objects in long period orbits around our sun, Marshall’s focus turned
to finding the key to human survival following such events. This
inspired him to write Godschild Covenant: Return of Nibiru.

 

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

After
finishing the book he found the key to human survival as the author of
the 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-historic
world, provided men and women love and cherish each other for their
differences as coequals.

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

2004 — Cut to the Chase

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

 

Two
of the interviews Marshall has hosted really clicked with his own
research. They were with author Michael A. Cremo and Mayan
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 after
global catastrophes to repopulate the Earth. He bases his theory on
recent 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 feared
as 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 back
approximately 3600 years. This ancient anthology offers clear
anthropological snapshots of folklore as it was taught by the wisest of
the wise in the time of Moses and Jesus. It also offers clear
corroboration 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 extinct
along with the dinosaurs during the KT Extinction Event some 65 million
years 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 with
cataclysmic results. This object s extensively documented by numerous
ancient Egyptian authors in The Kolbrin Bible
and was known to them as the “Destroyer.” They tell us it caused both
Noah’s Flood and the Ten Plagues of Exodus and warn us that it will
return 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” and
they too warn us that this object will return with catastrophic
consequences 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 not
history as it was written by the victors. Nor is it inspired by God.
Rather, it is the written history of those who survived the greatest
natural global catastrophes of the past, which makes it a unique and
timely survival text for those wishing to survive the next global
catastrophe.

 

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

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