Most Minnesotans have never heard of Roger Swanson. But among voyagers around the globe, he's known as the man who circled the world not once -- but three times -- on a 57-foot sailboat whose home port is listed as "Dunnell, MN."
His travels carried him from the tip of South Africa to the Arctic, winning international honors along the way. He also happened to launch a half-dozen manufacturing businesses in rural Minnesota, overseeing production of everything from snowblowers to farm equipment.
Swanson is being remembered this week as an extraordinary adventurer who lived an otherwise ordinary life in southwestern Minnesota.
"Roger Swanson was one of the greatest long-distance voyagers of this era or any other era," said Herb McCormick, senior editor of Cruising World magazine. "Few sailors have gone from the Arctic to the Antarctic and everywhere in between. He was one of a kind." He died December 25th 2012. R.I.P. Roger Swanson.
"Humanity is preparing for the Greater Community. It does not know this
yet, of course, but that is its stage of evolution, and everyone is
involved. The fact that humanity is unprepared for the realities of
contact with life in the universe is very apparent, but at a more
unconscious level, people are anticipating this, and that is why it
emerges in your movies, in your books, in human imagination. There is a
seed of truth, an element of truth here.
There is a reason that
people cannot speak of these things in public because it has been
discouraged in the social discourse. That foreign craft are flying in
your skies is an undeniable reality, and yet people do not want to think
of it. And if they do think of it, they want to think of it in a
positive way—that something wonderful is happening, that you have
visitors, and they are here to help you, to guide you and to prepare you
to meet the difficult challenges emerging in the world today.
You
are preparing for the Greater Community. Unconsciously, perhaps
foolishly and recklessly, you are preparing for the Greater Community.
It is prepared for you. Races who are here in the world today are very
well prepared for their mission here, a mission that few people in the
world today comprehend and understand.
That is why the Revelation
from God must reveal these things to you now in the clearest possible
way so there can be no mistake, no tragic error of judgment, no
misapprehension and no self-deception regarding the Intervention in the
world today.
The wealth of the world is being spoiled and ruined,
and the threat of this increasing has brought this Intervention here.
It has also come because humanity has created an infrastructure that
these races can utilize for themselves. You now have a worldwide
community, worldwide communications, worldwide commerce and the
beginnings of a worldwide government.
It is a great opportunity
for the Intervention. They must act quickly before humanity destroys the
wealth of the world, the wealth that the Intervention wants to have for
itself. They also must act before humanity becomes more powerful, which
would make intervention more difficult to achieve.
It is a
complex situation, and to understand it you must have an education and
preparation about the Greater Community of life itself—a reality that is
unknown in the world. That is why the Revelation must speak of these
things as well."
