Introduction:

Marshall Masters is a former CNN Science Features news producer, freelance writer, television analyst, and the publisher of
YOWUSA.COM. He spent three years researching the material for his first book, called "Godschild Covenant: The Return Of Nibiru".
He has written extensively on Nibiru flyby-related topics to include: catastrophic earth changes, crop circles, impact events
and future technologies.

He sat for an interview with me on Wednesday, May 14 2003. Here it is:

*NOTE*
MM = Marshall Masters, SP = Shirley Pena

SP: How did you first come to hear of this mysterious planet that the ancient Sumerian texts call "Nibiru"?

MM: I first began discussing Nibiru with YOWUSA co-founder Steve Russell in late 1999. It wasn't until I appeared on a few TV programs for PAX back in 2000 that I began to study Nibiru seriously.

SP: Can you give our readers here a brief history of this planet, as I'm sure many have never heard of it.

MM: The search for Nibiru began in the 19th century, as I explain in my streaming audio "Zero To Nibiru In 20 Minutes".
It's available in streaming REAL AUDIO and WINDOWS MEDIA. If you are new to this issue, it will quickly bring you up to speed on Nibiru.

SP: Please tell our readers your motivation/reasons for deciding to write this book, and why you chose to write it as a NOVEL (fiction) rather than a SCIENCE (NON-fiction) book.

MM: I'm hoping that my book will help people to open their minds to this near-future possibilities inherent in the next flyby of Nibiru through the more palatable format of fiction.

This is especially important because the vast amount of disinformation that's being pumped onto the internet by the Zeta web site and panic-for-profit writer Mark Hazlewood has done a great disservice to this vital debate via innoculating public interest through a much-hyped non-event.

The tragedy of this is knowing when Nibiru WILL arrive and what it WILL do to the earth are moot issues. This is because there is nothing we can do to change this destiny, and yet we continue to squander our focus on moot issues.

However, what we CAN control is how we face it, and herein is the real tragedy of this disinformation, because people are distracted by non-event moot issues which keep them from focusing on what they can control. I hope my novel will help people overcome this
disinformation plague.

SP: Discuss some of the humors you have read/heard regarding the eminent RETURN of this planet within our System.

MM: I've seen Nibiru being called a huge alien mother ship. From there, let your mind roam free.

SP: Are there any particular researchers/scientists who have written books or have websites regarding this subject that you RECOMMEND to our readers here?

MM: Everyone comes to Nibiru along a different path. What is most critical is that the search is founded in honesty. I recommend the following sites as being honest:

1. YOWUSA.COM (MY own site)
2. XFACTS.COM
3. Official web Site For Zecharia Sitchin
4. jmccanneyscience.com

SP: Thanks, Marshall!
