Long-time readers will have noticed that I make a point of drawing attention to the fact that someone seems to be killing the world’s microbiologists.
A statistically impossibly large number of microbiologists have died in the past few years. Each time another scientist is killed, I point you towards the original frightening article that alerted people to the fact that something very sinister and systematic is occurring. So, first off, read A Career in Microbiology Can Be Harmful to Your Health.
And why mention it? Well, on January 8, another microbiologist was killed (found with stab wounds in the trunk of his burning car, by firefighters). Sounds crazy? Read the news report Death of Researcher.
If that death sounds like something out of a film, read the many violent deaths which various scientists have met, at Where Have All the Scientists Gone?.
On to something more cheerful, like the stupid behaviour of inbred, elitist, so-called “royal family” members. You’ve probably seen the wonderful picture of Prince Harry in a lovely-looking Nazi officer’s uniform, complete with swastika armband. Yes, Prince Harry has apologised for his lapse in sanity — but still, I’m sure his mom would be proud. Daddy has ordered him to pay a visit to Auschwitz, though (as if this will somehow make it all better). See Prince Harry the Party Nazi.
Seeing as this is a colour-obsessed country, let’s tell you a story about two colours that seem to keep popping up in modern culture — Red and Blue. You probably don’t know who they were, or are. So here’s a brief crash course.
The original Red and Blue were respectively Squeaky Fromme and Sandra Goode — two of Charles Manson’s followers. (A little bit of insider info: Squeaky, also known as Lynette Fromme, got her nickname because of the sounds she made during sex.) Importantly, history fans will recall that she almost shot United States president Gerald Ford. Look at their official homepage — yes, even the Manson family has a web presence. Go spend some time at The Red and Blue Homepage.
Then, to get a sense of the Manson world view, without any media filters, pause by Access Manson.
You probably won’t see the web address (www.atwa.info) but in the Mansonoid world view, “Atwa” stands for air, trees, water, animals — read up on it at Atwa.
The next interesting appearance of Red and Blue in popular culture began emerging via the computer-gaming world — as gamers using assorted PC games own game-engines to make short films (called “machinima”) started creating little short films, showing warfare between two teams, called Red and Blue.
First, have a look at a very cool method of making movies that you may not have known about, at Machinima.
To see the many downloadable films that gamers have made, as well as the 40 or more Red versus Blue shorts, browse through Machinima Movies.
Now have a look at the “official” Red and Blue homepage, which started off as a novelty concept showing really silly short films about the adventures of two warring teams of soldiers, and which is now known worldwide as Red Versus Blue!. For collections of the Red and Blue warfare shorts, see the Red Versus Blue Archive.
Then, the latest addition to the continuing theme of Red versus Blue appeared recently when a number of Americans who wanted to make it clear that they were no supporters of US President George Bush’s war and oil machine decided to start wearing and selling blue bracelets. Naturally, the Bush supporters then began selling red bracelets. Go read the news item on Red Versus Blue Bracelets.
Gear change. Okay, this next thing is a stunning example of what was considered “normal” back in about 1950 or so, in terms of children’s books. It’s a scanned version of a genuine Rupert the Bear book. (Note also that the scan is being housed on a white supremacist site, which kind of sucks.) But it’s still a fascinating piece of history that is worth looking at. Go thoughtfully and cautiously towards Rupert the Bear Goes to Coon Island.
Here’s something you just know the entire casts of Isidingo, Egoli and the various other crap television soap operas are probably going to end up doing. Have a look at this rather sad website, offering the public the chance to “have a celebrity around for supper”. And, yes, the band who did The Look of Love back in the 1980s, ABC, are also available to be booked to liven up your dinner party. Ouch. Go stare sadly at Supper with the Stars!.
You’d think the whole world would pay attention if a story came out about child prostitutes in the White House? Yet, funnily enough, it is almost unknown that this happened — and that Bush Snr was implicated. To start with, read the info and scans of the newspaper articles about The Child Sex Ring in the White House.
A TV documentary was made about this whole sick saga, and was to be shown on the Discovery Channel. To quote: “This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington DC for sex orgies — At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired.
“Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed. A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state Senator and attorney John de Camp who made it available to retired FBI chief Ted L. Gunderson.”
Well, now it’s available online — download and watch Conspiracy of Silence.
Time for some things to make you go “awwwwww”. These cute little animals would probably go quite well on a bun with some mustard: Pygmy Lorises.
For more cute pix than you can cope with, ignore the attempts by Windows to install Japanese fonts and just browse through this online forum of what seems to be a huge collection of Awww Cute Animal Pix.
For things that aren’t quite as cute, read Cathy Buckle’s latest letter, quoting from the desperate-sounding farmers’ union newsletter in Zimbabwe, as it tries to gather up bribes for a visiting politician. Read This Week’s Letter from Zimbabwe.
Continuing on from last week’s coverage of the so-called humanitarian “aid” that the US military is now unleashing in the tsunami-hit region: first, read a Quebec professor of geology’s article The Tsunami: Why Weren’t They Warned.
Now read Journalist Told to Keep Quiet about Aceh Skirmish and consider Aceh Faces Double Disaster: Tsunami and Occupation. The kicker article is this one, called The Real Motivation for the US ‘Humanitarian Aid’.
Time to put on your aluminium-foil cap, strap yourself in and get ready for a fun ride. The recent film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind kind of creeped me out. Mainly because, in the opening stages of the film, so much was made of the place known as Montauk. To you it may not even have warranted much notice, but to me, Montauk is synonymous with many different rumours about secret military experiments — from time travel to mind control, at the Montauk US air force base.
So, a supposedly mainstream film appearing, dealing very specifically with the fictional representation of minds being erased — which also makes a very heavy-handed point of showing you the name Montauk repeatedly at the start of the film — struck me as downright creepy.
The Montauk project and whispers about it are spread widely across the internet, and have been for a long time. (As I haven’t gone looking for info on it in a while, it was odd seeing the strange reference to federal law, when looking at the address.)
But let’s work backwards, into Montauk — as whatever the reality and truth is, you’ll need both to decide for yourself and take it in small doses. We’re talking about a real, genuine and now apparently abandoned air force base where various unknown experiments were done in the past. There are apparently sections of the base that are still off-limits to the public, despite the entire area having been turned over to authorities in order to make it a “park” of some kind.
Here’s a letter from a Montauk resident, who went exploring the now empty Montauk air force base. Then read this quick overview of one possible introduction to the murky subject of Montauk Project Time Portal. For a lot of photographs, maps and info on the real area, see Montauk.
Now step through the looking glass. To get an idea of how widespread the name “Montauk” is in conspiracy circles, first read this quick overview, via an advert on David Icke’s site for The First Montauk Symposium. Then get some interesting general background on The Philadelphia Experiment from A to Z.
Having read through the previous site, dealing with the alleged experiment from World War II, you’re ready to learn some more. So take the red pill and step into The Montauk Project and the Philadelphia Experiment. Spend a bit of time at Al Bielek’s site The Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Survivor Accounts.
Slide further down the rabbit-hole, and read Montauk Air Force Base: Active or Not. Then learn a little more at Covert Matrix: Montauk.
Here’s more info on the real base itself: Camp Hero. And in a leap into total weirdness, which should probably be taken with big handfuls of salt: Montauk.
Now do you see why it’s decidedly unnerving to have a film that deal with erasing memories making a big point of rubbing the name “Montauk” in your face? Even if nothing in the above sites is true, someone is clearly sending filmgoers a message of some sort. What is the truth? I don’t know. But now you, too, will perhaps have a little more knowledge lurking in the back of your mind that wasn’t there before. So — in the vernacular of Jerry Springer guests — it’s all good.
Little-grey-men time. Nasa continues in its long history of hiding anything that suggests a much stranger reality than that you might suspect. First off, you may have missed the utterly impossible and totally unexplained fact that something (or someone) cleaned the Mars Rover solar panels, increasing its mission life. Naturally, the news was treated in an almost joking fashion. Read Mystery Martian Carwash Helps Space Buggy.
The Mars Rover vehicle opportunity stayed in the news, with a rather strange picture. First take a look at the picture as prepared for the world press. You’ll note the sky has been blacked out. (Nasa routinely says that this is due to problems in transmissions.)
Now here’s the same picture, as found on Nasa’s own site showing the skyline of the picture. You’ll see what looks like a dot in the now visible sky, Dot in Sky. If you click on the picture, and enlarge it, you’ll be able to see that the dot is some kind of cylindrical object moving in the sky: Larger Nasa Pic.
If you want to be obsessive about it, here’s a Nasa pic taken one minute before the UFO pic.
And here’s a pic taken one minute after.
Therefore, it’s not dust, weather balloons, grit, swamp gas, hallucinations or any of the usual things the authorities tend to say. And given the blacked-out sky in the press version of the photograph, they clearly didn’t want anyone to see it printed in their local paper. It’s an official Nasa picture from Mars, showing an unidentified flying object. So there.
Continuing in the “disbelieve everything” mode this week. According to the media and the official government fairy stories, the World Trade Centre towers fell because the steel — ahem — “melted”. Have a look at a pic and video of a survivor standing in the impact hole in the building into which one of the airplanes crashed, whose hair wasn’t even singed from the so-called heat: Woman Waving from North Tower Impact Hole.
Still more damn UFO-related stuff. (My editor is going to kill me, I can sense it.) My bullshit detector went off completely at this next article, which is a great exercise in deliberate misinformation. If you ever saw a UFO, this article says, well then gee — you only saw a special US secret plane. Ding! Sorry, that was my bullshit detector going off again.
Read how the government tries to hide a genuine mystery by feeding the public misinformation that sounds good on the surface but has little connection to reality. Read the PR job that Popular Mechanics calls ‘The Secret UFO Files’.
Just to prove that history can actually be a lot of fun and pretty interesting, browse through this site that gives an eyewitness account to various historical moments. Kill some time at Eyewitness to History.
Next, a site about weather? I’m afraid so. Given that this damn country has far too much sunshine (for my liking) and given that the authorities here seem barely able to maintain a solid uninterrupted power supply without screwing it up when you least expect it, solar-powered goodies would seem to be the way to go.
Do yourself a favour and browse through all the interesting gadgets available at this next site, from solar-powered phone chargers to solar-powered radio headphones. Go to Solar Home Plans.
