Pre-Roswell Roswells

One of the common topics I’ve explored on HPANWO is UFO’s and the various falsehoods associated with them; for instance: that they’re only seen by “loonies”, that they didn’t exist until impressionable and imaginative people, usually wearing anoraks, first saw them in cinemas in the 1940’s etc. As we can see, UFO photos and reports both date back to far earlier epochs, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/old-ufo-photoes.html. Another myth is that UFO’s are unknown in the Third World and are only seen in developed Western nations where people have been exposed to them culturally; but the Zulu Shaman Credo Mutwa reports that this is definitely not the case, in fact he has been abducted and abused by the very same beings that were seen in a famous Brazilian case, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2009/08/alien-abduction-similarities.html. In this article I shall explore the theory that the famous Roswell Incident of 1947 was the trigger that led to all subsequent incidents that resembled it, and that no such incidents occurred before it. The word “Roswell” of course refers to the city of Roswell in New Mexico, USA which was the centre stage for that most explosive of all UFO tales; however since then other similar incidents have occurred and the word has almost become a common noun with the qualifying adjective designating the place, EG: Brazilian Roswell, Welsh Roswell etc. It means: a very significant UFO event, especially one in which a large amount of decisive physical evidence is left behind, like a crashed craft and alien bodies, and that this evidence is secretly salvaged by the government and covered up. It’s only a matter of time before the Oxford English Dictionary adds the word to its list under that definition.

Contrary to what you might have heard, there are "Roswells" that predate the Roswell Incident. I’ll take you through all the ones I’ve heard about and if you’ve heard of others that I haven’t then get in touch and let me know. We’ll go backwards in time from the most recent to the earliest, but all of them crucially took place before July 1947:

Cape Girardeau- April 1941
The details of what will inevitably be christened “the Missouri Roswell” can be found in this MUFON (See HPANWO Links column) paper. The title is misleading however; this is not “the first Roswell”, but I’m getting ahead of myself! This is a fascinating document that presents the compelling evidence for the case very comprehensively. Somebody has not only done a good research and analysis job here, they’ve also managed to communicate it well: http://www.majesticdocuments.com/pdf/rswood_mufon2001.pdf. The story was first revealed in 1984 in a book by UFO researcher Leo Stringfield. He received a letter from a lady named Charlette (sic) Mann concerning a UFO crash-retrieval in 1941, a full six years before Roswell. The crash occurred just a few miles from Cape Girardeau, a busy and picturesque city nestling on the banks of the River Mississippi. Charlette’s story was then corroborated by other sources: her own sister gave a sworn affidavit that Charlette’s story was true. The Sheriff of Cape Girardeau County, at the time, backed her up, as do seven leaked Presidential documents from three sources and possibly even a handwritten memo from J Edgar Hoover. In April of 1941 Charlette’s grandfather Reverend William Huffman was the local minister at the Red Star Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau. One evening at about 9 to 9.30 PM he received a phonecall from the police asking him to come to the site of a light aircraft crash 10 to 15 miles outside town because the injured occupants were not expected to survive and they wanted somebody to administer Last Rights. Rev. Huffman did not consider this request unusual and left immediately; remember that America is a far more religious country than most European nations, like my own, the UK. He arrived at the scene and saw that it was not a plane that had crashed but a disk-shaped object. The disk was broken open and inside he saw strange control seats and artefacts, and also markings that he thought looked like Egyptian hieroglyphics, a recurring comparison that covers several other UFO reports. Lying on the ground outside the craft were the bodies of three small humanoids which resembled the classic Grey; one of them had been moved to one side and the minister thought that it might be alive. As it was he was only required to give two of the beings the Sacrament of the Dying. There were many policemen at the scene, as well as firemen and news photographers. Military personnel turned up and swore everybody to secrecy before taking over the entire operation and sending Huffman home. Huffman was a patriotic and God-fearing man who took oaths seriously, but he couldn’t resist telling his family members what he'd experienced, including his son, Guy, who became Charlette’s father. Charlette knew about the incident because her father and other family members mentioned it occasionally as a family curiosity, but it was from the 1984 deathbed confession of her grandmother Floy, William Huffman’s wife, that she learned the complete tale; that which she related to Leo Stringfield. She found out what became of the photo of one of the aliens that her father had shown her one night at a party. The photo had been taken by one of the photographers at the scene and given to Huffman by a friend of his at his church a few weeks later. Huffman gave it to another friend in the early 1950’s: Walter Wayne Fisk. Fisk was a career photographer who’d made a living taking snaps of Cape Girardeau’s famous rose gardens and probably Huffman thought he’d appreciate this piece of evidence more than the average man-on-the-street. As far as we know Fisk still has that photograph today. Recently, the researcher Stanton Friedman managed to track down the elderly Walter Fisk to his current home in New Mexico. They spoke on the telephone and Fisk told Stanton all kinds of strange tales, like how he was a psychologist and worked for the President, but he refused to confirm or deny whether he still had the photograph. Since then he has declined all attempts to speak on the subject and so the whereabouts of the photograph remain a mystery. Charlette described the photo to Stringfield: It showed two men holding up one of the aliens by its arms. She sketched a reproduction of it, see above at the top of this HPANWO article, and since then two photographs have emerged online that are said to be the original, see below:



I personally doubt that either of these photos are the real McCoy. The first one looks a bit too neat; it looks like it was shot in a studio enviroment with proper lighting effects, and the quality leads me to think that it was taken using modern equipment. The alien also looks a bit too much like something you could buy in a Roswell tourist shop! The second photo is very obviously taken in daylight, even though the crash was late at night, and it shows a creature far smaller than the ones Charlette reported seeing; it’s barely two feet tall. The most intriguing evidence lies in the independent articles, like the Hoover memo. This incident took place just a few months before the attack on Pearl Harbour and the US Government knew it was going to have to fight a war very soon and although there were serious leaks, like the photograph, it’s obvious that there must have been some kind of protocol already in place to deal with an incident like this UFO crash. It may not have been as perfect as it was at Roswell but there’s no way the Government would have been able to suppress news of this hitting the airwaves unless they had a contingency plan; and if they had a contingency plan then they must have had previous knowledge or experience of UFO crash-retrievals. Experience? Where did that come from? A few weeks later, on the 21st of May, a huge tornado ripped through the heart of Cape Girardeau killing 23 people and injuring many more; 233 homes were destroyed. It’s possible that any notoriety generated by the UFO and aliens was drowned out by this much more terrestrial disaster. The burying of news and long time periods between events and witnesses to them coming forward has plagued UFO cases left, right and centre throughout the history of UFOlogy; none more so than the next Roswell on our list:

Gateshead- 1940
The strange case of the “Gateshead Grey” took place the year before Cape Girardeau, but it went completely unreported at all until 2008. The researcher who broke the story was a friend of mine, Richard D Hall (I’ve been interviewed on Richard’s TV show and will be again shortly, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/ben-emlyn-jones-on-richplanet-tv.html) When he did a lecture on UFO’s in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, he was contacted by an elderly gentleman who told Richard that he’d seen one himself. Robert Hall (no relation) had lived in the Bensham area of Gateshead in 1940 where he’d been a small child, aged just 5, and he’d had a close encounter which led to a full-blown Roswell. Gateshead is a very large and populous town that occupies the land south of Newcastle on the banks of the River Tyne; if an alien landing can be covered up there, it can be covered up anywhere! (In fact in my fictional novel The Obscurati Chronicles, I include a situation in which a UFO crashes in a big town near London, see: http://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/obscurati-chronicles-part-13.html.) It became famous in 1998 for the erection of the 66 foot high sculpture the Angel of the North, although in my view it looks more like an aeroplane stood on its tail than an angel. Are the Grey and the Angel being in the same place a coincidence or is something more occult and esoteric going on?... That’s a story for another article. In 1940 a strange atmosphere hung over the country; war against Germany had been officially declared the previous September, but the worst hostilities had yet to break out and negotiations were going on to try and find a peaceful conclusion to the conflict. However Britain was still preparing for the onslaught to come, building up the Armed Forces and organizing parades on city streets to reassure and inspire the British public. It was while watching one of these marches one fine day, on a hitherto undisclosed date that year, that 5 year old Robert and one of his friends were sitting on a wall on a main throughfare called Saltwell Road watching the troops file past. (It helps if you use Google Maps or Earth to follow this narrative) Eventually they got bored and felt cold (this could indicate that the date was not in the summer months) and ran down Stephenson Street, the side terrace near where they lived. When they were halfway down the road they saw a translucent barrier across the street that Robert described as resembling heat-haze. The two boys found that the barrier didn’t reach right down to the ground and they could pass under it by ducking. Then, at the bottom of Stephenson Street they were confronted by a large ovoid object hovering just above the ground about 12 to 14 feet in diameter. Running parallel to Saltwell Road at the other end of the residential terraces is an alley known as “the Back Alley” where local children used to play, and lined up all along this alley were a large number of beings of many species. In fact it was a veritable ET menagerie with more variety than any other reported encounter I’ve heard of; Robert’s descriptions of these entities answer those of other alien contactees’, and this was confirmed by Derrel Sims, see: http://www.alienhunter.org/. There was a humanoid creature that was covered in fur, “Bigfoot” Robert called it; classic Greys in several sizes, “Praying Mantis” insectoids, dwarf-like gnomes and blond, blue-eyed “Nordics”, very humanlike beings which you wouldn’t look twice at if you saw them in normal human situations. Robert and his friend were taken aboard the craft and underwent the medical examination that is a common feature of UFO abductions, blood specimens were taken and they were pacified by a paralyzing weapon that one of the aliens held in its hand. Robert was terrified and tried to flee; he saw other children climbing the fence by the railway line bordering the alley. Robert eventually managed to escape the aliens’ clutches and ran back to the main road where he alerted the marching soldiers. One of the soldiers went to have a look and shot at the aliens with his pistol. Panic ensued and people on the main road fled. The craft rose into the sky and disappeared.
If the events of that day weren’t incredible enough, more was to come three days later. Robert was on his way to the shops one morning and he took a short cut through a pedestrian alley further up the road than the Back Alley; suddenly he realized that he was not alone. He looked round and saw a Grey running towards him. He pelted as quickly as he could to the nearest street where his Uncle Ernie ran a coal yard. Robert tripped on the kerb and thought that the Grey had got him, but luckily Uncle Ernie was on the pavement outside and he attacked the Grey with a coal shovel and killed it. Uncle Ernie Wren was still alive in 2008 and Richard met him, but unfortunately Ernie is somewhat senile and unable to give a solid witness account. Ernie then moved the body behind the gates of his coal yard while Robert went and found a policeman. The body was then moved by a police or army vehicle to the crypt of St Cuthbert’s Church about half a mile away on Bensham Road where it was apparently stored for three months. There is no mention in the church’s management records of this going on, but then it’s not the kind of thing the Vicar would be too open about, especially if he’d been warned to keep quiet. Robert reports seeing men in white overalls going up and down the narrow outdoor stairway leading to the crypt and visits from “professors”. On at least one occasion during this time the local area was subjected to house-to-house searches, Northern Ireland Troubles-style; the soldiers were apparently searching for more of the aliens.
Robert suffered from a lot of the classic symptoms of “post-abduction syndrome” including a triangular scar on his face that lasted for 8 years. He was visited by military officers, scientists apparently investigating the matter and a very eager news reporter whom Robert says physically assaulted him to try and make him part with information. He was also followed to school many times by a frightening stranger. These sound to me very much like Men-in-Black encounters, at least some of them, and the callers may not have been whom they said they were or looked like; in fact they may have been aliens themselves, but that’s a long story.
All the researchers who have interviewed Robert Hall say that he comes across as honest; he’s a simple and ingenuous man who doesn’t fit the profile of a fantasist or liar. The UFOlogist Gary Heseltine has also interviewed Robert; Gary is a police detective and so has developed a good intuitive ear for when he’s being spun a yarn, and he passes Robert’s testimony as truthful. As I said above a very long time has passed between the incident occurring and research into it beginning, meaning that the majority of witnesses are probably no longer living, the memories of the living witnesses will have become faded and distorted, and direct evidence is harder to come by. Richard and the others have done a good job retrieving even what little they have. There’s no mention of the event in any newspaper archives or local records. Despite the fact that there are a few old people living in the area who also lived there in 1940 no others have professed any recollection of the UFO incident and the only one positively known to have been in the vicinity at the time is refusing to comment. However Robert’s sister Rhoda does recall the hostile visitors who questioned her brother. This would be less frustrating if Robert Hall were not such a credible witness. One thing he mentioned that is especially interesting is that he expressed his confusion that the craft he saw was so small while the aliens which presumably came from inside it were so numerous; I imagine that if he underwent an examination inside the UFO then it would have had to have been larger on the inside than its 12 to 14 foot exterior. The notion of alien craft being Doctor Who's TARDIS-like: larger on the inside than the outside, is not one Robert Hall is likely to have made up; however it is a recurring feature of many other abduction reports. A good example is Jan Siedlecki’s 1976 encounter in Leeds in which he describes a disk-shaped craft only about 20 feet across, yet it had three deck-levels inside (Good-1998). A bullshit-merchant would probably not put these details into his charade and make the craft’s inner and outer dimensions proportional, in line with terrestrial logic.
The week before this HPANWO article was published I travelled to Newcastle to record my interviews on Richplanet TV, and Richard showed me the location of the Gateshead Grey sighting. I took a few photos (Apologies for the darkness and poor quality, they were done on my mobile phone). It was immediately apparent that the architecture of the nearby houses and public buildings was 19th Century and so the area must look pretty much the same in 1940 as it does today. I took a photo of the famous kerbstone where little Robert tripped over as the Grey bore down on him before Uncle Ernie dispatched it to defend his nephew, but unfortunately the shot didn’t come out. It was too dark and my mobile phone camera had no flash. However it’s likely that this is the original kerbstone because it looked quite old, and although pavements need to be regularly resurfaced the kerbstones last much longer. I’ve very rarely seen them changed where I’ve lived.

This is 29 Hedley Street where Robert spent his childhood and lived as a five year old boy in 1940.

This is the spot at the bottom of Stephenson Street where the UFO appeared.

This is the gate to Uncle Ernie’s coal yard through which the dead Grey was dragged so it could be concealed. This gate looks very old and might also be original.

These are the narrow steps leading down to the crypt. St Cuthbert’s Church has been deconsecrated and abandoned since 1940 and today it is being converted into a museum (Not a UFO one!). By the time Richard and I arrived here it was night-time and completely dark and so I declined to descend the very narrow and steep stone stairway into the crypt; if it had been daytime I would have tried it. As you can see if you watch Richard’s documentary, see below, the crypt is just an empty derelict chamber filled with rubbish measuring 12 feet by 8, and according to Robert Hall, for three months 72 years ago it was used by the military to store an extraterrestrial corpse. This part of the tale is very revealing I think. Why did they leave it there for that long? Couldn’t they have moved it to somewhere more secure and convenient? This indicates to me that, unlike with Cape Girardeau, Roswell and all subsequent crash-retrievals, the British Government in 1940 had no contingency plan on how to deal with this kind of thing; it was as unexpected to them as it was to Robert and his friend. I wonder if the secret reports on the Gateshead Grey may have been shared with the Americans, even though they were neutrals in the war at that time. This may have triggered the US Military to work on a plan of what to do if something similar happened on their soil. Was this why they were all set up and ready a year later when that saucer came down near Cape Girardeau?
The story is told in Richard’s own words in this full-length documentary: http://www.richplanet.net/detail.php?dbindex=146 and here is the follow-up: http://www.richplanet.net/detail.php?dbindex=206 . The Gateshead Grey is a tantalizing mix of thin evidence, but believable testimony. The case becomes even more interesting when we find out that, even if it’s unknown in the modern human world, it may have influenced our folklore subconsciously: watch it and you’ll find out where the catchphrase “Little Green Men” might have come from!




Aurora- April 1897
As we go back in time before the 1940’s the stories of UFO-related encounters become dimmer and mistier. Although, as I demonstrate in the link above to pre-1940’s UFO photographs, it’s obvious that the phenomenon existed, it had little or no presence in popular culture. As we approach the century-ago marker we find a bleak landscape as far as Roswells are concerned. There are a few very tenuous recitations about crashed objects being seized during World War I, but nothing tangible. Then as we enter the close of the 19th Century we’re suddenly hit in the face by an almost unbelievable story from Texas: The Aurora Incident.
During the 1890’s news stories began to flood the entire world about the presence of “mystery balloons” and “dirigibles”. When studying the Aurora incident it’s important to understand the terminology used at the time; this was an era when the only aircraft were gas balloons and primitive airships; the Wright brothers’ first aeroplane didn’t lift off until December 1903, and conventional engineering wisdom beforehand mostly proclaimed that the aeroplane was impossible. Words like: “UFO” and even the slightly older: “Flying saucer” had yet to be coined. What these reports were describing was undoubtedly what we today would call a global UFO flap. This came to a head when on the 19th of April 1897 the Dallas Morning News announced that one of the mystery airships had struck a windmill in the city of Aurora, Texas. Despite it being officially classified as a “city”, Aurora only has a population of 376 and is just a small, sparse and isolated suburb of Dallas. The windmill was actually a wind-driven water pump fitted to a well in the garden of a Judge JS Proctor. The craft impacted at about 6 in the morning and exploded, scattering loose debris over a wide area, destroying the judge’s flower garden. Many of Aurora’s residents were alerted by the noise and rushed to the judge’s house to see if they could help. There was a badly burned and battered body in the debris that was thought to by the airship’s pilot. A local man who was an army signalman and keen astronomer stated to the reporter that in his opinion this was “a man from Mars”. Again, we need to be aware of the contemporary language difference here. At the time some of the most popular pieces of literature were books like HG Wells’ War of the Worlds which was about an invasion by intelligent but hostile creatures from Mars; it came out the following year, but others like it were around in 1897. Because of their influence, and lack of real knowledge about the true nature of Mars, anything extraterrestrial would have called “Martian” or “from Mars”. This was what we would call “an alien”. The creature was given a full Christian funeral and buried in the local cemetery. Again this would not be unusual practice in the United States at that time; remember William Huffman’s story above? The grave was marked by a very rough stone without an epitaph, see photo above, but it did feature what looks like a crude engraving of a cigar or disk-shaped UFO. There followed a clean-up operation in which the largest fragments of the object were carted off (Where!?) while the smaller ones were thrown down Judge Proctor’s well.
Again the hoodoo of a massive delay before the investigation returns to haunt us. The first serious research was not begun until the early 1970’s! The researchers' first move was to turn to the tastiest potential source of evidence: the grave. Unfortunately one cannot just walk into a cemetery with a spade and start digging up graves. Like most countries, the United States has Rights of Sepulchre laws that protect a person’s final resting place under strict guidelines that have few exemptions, and violating them is a serious criminal offence... even if the beneficiary of those legal rights is an extraterrestrial being! The investigators from MUFON wrote to the relevant authorities asking for permission to exhume the body and were given a firm and decisive negative reply; much to their frustration. The local council even posted a police guard at the graveside while the investigators were in town in case they attempted any grave-robbing. I can only imagine what it must feel like for a UFO investigator to stroll through a cemetery and walk above a grave that has an alien body just a few feet underground. But worse was to come because it seemed that somebody wasn’t going to take the chance that the burial authorities might change their minds. Soon after the first investigation the tombstone was stolen and it also looked as if somebody else had tampered with the grave, maybe even secretly exhuming the body themselves before the investigators could. Today the Aurora Cemetery Authority claims not to even know the grave’s exact location. Researchers have often noted that the people of Aurora are generally very uncooperative with UFOlogists and have no desire to explore this unusual piece of their hometown’s history... Has somebody warned them off? It’s ironic to think that as the Government were secreting away the bodies from the Roswell crash in 1947 another alien was lying in a grave just a few hundred miles away in Texas, and had been for 50 years. At the time of the first investigation there were fortunately a few very elderly witnesses to the crash still alive and they were tracked down and interviewed by an excellent individual, I think: Jim Marrs, see HPANWO Links column. Unfortunately he faced the same problems as Richard D Hall did over the Gateshead Grey; it’s not just governments that bury UFO secrets, the passing of time does too. However several people remembered seeing the object in the sky and after it had hit the ground.
There are several hoax theories going round, including one promoted by a former mayor of Aurora. The reporter who wrote the news story, SE Haydon, had a reputation as being a practical joker. There was apparently a motive for trying to put Aurora on the map. The town was in dire straits socially and economically because it had recently been hit by a spotted fever epidemic that had killed many people there; indeed the town went through several periods of quarantine (I myself was once stuck inside a quarantine zone in my hospital and it’s pretty frightening I can tell you!) The town’s main industry, cotton farming, had also just been decimated by an infestation of pests, boll weevils. Most people there were unemployed, poor, sick and hungry. The recent cancellation of a railway line through the town must have been a severe blow; and, in the same way some other places have tried to fake apparitions of the Virgin Mary, somebody decided to take action by fabricating a fake UFO crash... or so the theory goes. One wonders who, how and why they came up with this idea when there are plenty of other more promising ways to boost a town’s profile. Personally I’d stage some fake serial-killer deaths! Also the theories come from people who had no first-hand knowledge of the incident at all, and all Jim Marrs’ other contacts say the UFO was real, so unless we were faced with a conspiracy by a group of slow-witted octogenarians, we’ll have to knock the hoax theory on the head for now.
There’s more, apart from the grave there’s another massive potential source of data: the well into which the people dumped the debris. But annoyingly, just as with the grave, the well has been sealed over with a concrete slab and the current owner of the land refuses permission for UFOlogists to gain access to it. I’m beginning to wonder if Lyall Watson’s “Cosmic Nanny” isn't at work here, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/lyall-watson.html. There is an interesting story attached to the well though, if not a sad one because it concerns a man’s illness and disability. In 1945 a man called Brawley Oates bought Judge Proctor’s old house and went to live there. Like the judge before him, he got all his drinking water from the well and before long the unfortunate man was struck down by debilitating rheumatoid arthritis in his hands, rather like David Icke has been. Was Oates’ condition caused by drinking water from the well that had been infected with some kind of toxin from the alien debris? Whatever, the well remains sealed and a sturdy brick outhouse has been constructed over it to protect it further. Here’s an interesting documentary about the Aurora case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmY9D7T0m7A.

What has become apparent to me is that when it comes to Roswells we have two research obstacles: Since at least 1941 there has been a secret policy in place to cover up and deny these incidents. It’s a global policy, because whether the crash occurs in the USA, Brazil, China, Russia or any other country in the world, the same thing always happens: The government sends the army in, keeps everybody away, enforces media silence and then comes up with stupid cover stories about weather balloons or escaped chimpanzees. The other obstacle is time: the human lifespan, and our memory. There may or may not have been a decision by governments on dealing secretly with UFO’s before 1941; I suspect not, but this era is now so long ago that only the very elderly remember it, and their memories are blighted by inevitable lacunae and inaccuracies. The best hope for us all is to deal with the cause of the current and recent Roswells, what Stephen Bassett calls the “Truth Embargo”.

Just to end this article, let's look at the remarkable tale of a Mr James Lumley, a man hiking in the Rocky Mountains one day when he saw a lighted object cross the heavens and burst into pieces like “a sky-rocket”. This was followed by a rushing sound like high wind. The following day, Mr Lumley discovered: “that, as far as he could see in either direction a path had been cut through the forest, several rods-wide, giant trees uprooted or broken off near the ground, the tops of hills shaved off and the earth ploughed up in many places. Great and widespread havoc was everywhere visible. Following up this track of desolation, he soon ascertained the cause of it in the shape of an immense stone driven into the side of a mountain. An examination of this stone, or so much of it as was visible, showed that it was divided into compartments that in various places it was carved with curious hieroglyphics. More than this, Mr. Lumley also discovered fragments of a substance resembling glass, and here and there dark stains, as though caused by a liquid. He is confident that the hieroglyphics are the work of human hands, and that the stone itself, although but a fragment of an immense body, must have been used for some purpose by animated beings.” This report is dated to the 19th of October 1865, see: http://www.rense.com/general16/histufocrashing.htm. Could this be the first ever Roswell?

Some of Them are on Our Side

It’s very “in” to be a pessimist these days. As I said in a recent article on the Voice, I think this is often because it gives one a kind of street-cred, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/insider-posers.html. There seems to be a strange kind of prestige and ascendency in believing that all hope is lost. I’ve spoken before about “Lenny”, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/probe-autumn-2009-part-4.html; but apart from him I’ve noticed that there is another kind of cynic, a quiet and private kind exemplified by another Probe-buddy. This is an elderly man who regularly attends the Probe conferences; he’s a quiet man, a loner who tends to stick to himself. However when you get talking to him you’ll quickly find that he is calmly and dispassionately convinced that all hope is lost; the Illuminati are on the verge of unstoppable victory and that Planet Earth is doomed to death. I hesitated to ask him why he bothers to attend Probe at all then! But whether I’m talking about the quietly resigned or the egotistical auto-sodomites like “Lenny”, it’s obvious that many people who, when they first become Conspiratorially-aware, take one look at the world around us and surrender. And I agree that on first glance things do look pretty bleak, the perpetrators have made sure of that. We have a population of billions enslaved to an Elite for whom evil is their lifeblood on a planet that is choking to death on its parasites’ venom. But I’m willing to give up some of my kudos at this point and concede my entry to the pissing-contest: I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s bad, yes, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet. The media is one of my biggest sources of inspiration, ironically, when you read my rants about it (EG: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2008/07/grimlys.html). We hear all the time that it’s controlled and full of propaganda; and yes, it is full of propaganda, but is “controlled” the right word? A better one might be “influenced”.

In fact I’d go as far as to theorize that right now there’s a battle raging in the world’s media. On the one hand you have establishment misinformation, but on the other you have films, books and other works of art constantly coming out that have powerful anti-establishment and nonConformist themes. This would not be possible if the media were completely controlled. Good recent examples are Avatar, V for Vendetta, Dead Poets Society, Wag the Dog and The Last Enemy. There is no way that if Hollywood and the BBC were completely controlled by the forces of Darkness that these films could ever be produced. What we would have instead is a continuous stream of Conformist and institutional polemics with a token handful of very wet and transparent counter-positional publications just so as not to make it too obvious. At the moment I’m going through online videos of films and TV programmes that came out either before I was born or before I was old enough to properly understand them, and which sum up what I’m talking about.

A Very British Coup- Channel 4, 1988.

Unfortunately the title of this drama gives away the plot, but don’t let that spoiler put you off. This is no independent production, it has a star-studded cast of big names like Philip Madoc, Tim McInnerny and Alan MacNaughton. It’s a witty film with a clever script full of great one-liners, about the career of a Leftist, “Old Labour” politician who through some terrible oversight on the part of the “Men in Grey Suits” ends up getting elected Prime Minister. Harry Perkins is a working-class Yorkshireman from a long line of steelworkers and the story contains numerous anecdotes portraying him as a down-to-Earth man-of-the-people; for example he uses a Sheffield Wednesday football bag instead of a suitcase to carry his paperwork and he walks between Buckingham Palace and Downing Street when he meets the Queen. The opening scene of the film shows him in the bathroom, urinating and shaving with a string vest on, using his father’s shaving mug; all he needed was a pigeon-loft and you’d have a complete epitome of an old-country Yorkshire labourer. He immediately begins implementing policies that during the early 1980’s, when the story was conceived, were in the manifesto of the real British opposition Labour Party: improvements to the Welfare State, complete re-nationalization of the National Health Service and all service industries, an end to nuclear power, unilateral nuclear disarmament and a departure from NATO and all Anglo-American Cold War treaties. To appreciate its message it’s important to realize the era that the story was written. During Margaret Thatcher’s term in office Left-Wing ideas were seen as very radical and alternative because Thatcher herself was such an arch-Conservative. I myself believed this during my childhood in that period. In the light of recent years I and many others have come to realize that the Left Wing of the political spectrum is as much a potential tyranny as the Right and that the entire scope of conventional political viewpoints, from Communism to Fascism, is created and controlled by a covert superpolitical Elite. However, if you like you can imagine Harry Perkins as holding other, more mature and aware extra-political opinions as you watch the movie and the context alters itself unobtrusively. Between the scenes of Harry Perkins at work are interspersed shots of darkly lit rooms in the headquarters of MI5 where sinister-looking men watch the TV in malevolent silence. When Perkins announces to the American ambassador that he has two years to remove all US bases from British shores the CIA get involved too. Perkins then holds a ceremony on TV where the first nuclear warhead from Britain’s independent nuclear deterrent is dismantled; the first of every single one of them. With the help of a CIA agent in the US embassy a smear campaign is initiated by the security services, aided and abetted by top Military officers and a media mogul who is thinly-disguised parody of Rupert Murdoch. One of Perkins’ ministers is forced to resign after reporters catch him having an extra-marital affair with a woman who has links to the IRA. Then Perkins’ military adviser, and architect of his nuclear disarmament programme, is killed in a suspicious-looking accident on a level-crossing; Thomas Ronald Baron-style. In the end the conspirators resort to forging documents that apparently prove that Perkins is in the pay of the Soviet Union. Perkins apprently gives in and books a TV announcement to resign as Prime Minister, but as soon as he’s on the air he dumps his script and instead speaks out about the plot against him. The director tries to cut him off the air but Perkins’ assistant, a man who up till then had been a minor character with inconclusive loyalty, intervenes to keep the broadcast running. Perkins calls a general election which he is about to win decisively and the final scene of the film is of an empty polling station and the sound of helicopters and military radio chatter. The ending may be slightly ambiguous, but I think there’s no doubt that the implication is that, having failed using every other method, the conspirators decide to take over the country in a military coup. This is something that has happened numerous times in numerous places, and in the case of Latin America, usually with American involvement. The TV drama is based on a book by Chris Mullin who was a Member of Parliament as well as a novelist. He was also instrumental in the appeal and release of the “Birmingham Six”. The book spurns the popular image that coups d’etat only happen in the Third World or less powerful nations, and that they cannot take place in a major, industrial Western state. In doing so the story illustrates the limitations, and I would go as far as to say the illusion, of democracy. The people have the right to choose, so long as they choose the way the “Men in Grey Suits” want them to. The phrase “Men in Grey Suits” was coined by the political journalist Alan Watkins when referring to Margaret Thatcher, and her forced removal from power in what was effectively a non-military coup d’etat. She was not put up against a wall and shot, but she was advised to retire early because of her opposition to Britain being invested into the European Union. It’s interesting that in his famous controversial autobiography Spycatcher, MI5 officer Peter Wright reports attending a meeting in about 1980 which some mysterious individuals attend who say they have an agenda to prevent a Labour victory at the next election, at all costs! (Ironically this book became a bestseller due to the Government attempts to ban it and it remains in print to this day; the Government should have just kept their mouth shut, in which case it would have remained an obscure back-shelf title.) What happens next in A Very British Coup is left to the imagination of the reader or viewer, but it struck me that V for Vendetta would fit almost seamlessly as its sequel. Maybe Perkins went on to be arrested and then, like John Smith, died conveniently of a heart attack or something. And then the election victory was handed over to somebody else; Perkins’ shifty and treacherous Chancellor of the Exchequer perhaps. Such bloodless coups have happened in modern democratic states, like the famous “Dismissal Scandal” in Australia in 1975, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis. Or perhaps the country went directly into martial law with troops on the streets shooting demonstrators and the descent into Fascism and the scenario of V for Vendetta. Who knows, and who cares, so long as we make sure it never happens in real life.

Wild Palms- MGM, 1993
It can be seen for free online here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqbdA0gMq64
I remember watching this American sci-fi miniseries when it first appeared on the BBC. It was much-hyped beforehand but got crap reviews; well you know what I think of reviews, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/critics.html. It was co-produced by none other than Oliver Stone and although you certainly won’t see any Oscar-winning acting performances, it’s still one of the most remarkable TV series I’ve ever seen. It is set in California in 2007, which at the time was obviously the future, and it explores the political abuse of technology, especially technology in the media. The production design is quite clever and cyberpunk-ish; little details like anachronistic and strange tuxedo shirt collars being fashionable and the influence of Japanese art and architecture give it a hint of realism. The story is about how a Right-Wing quasi-religious secret society called “The Fathers” are taking over the media and politics. The plot is confusing because the bad guys have several different names: “The Wild Palms Consortium”, “The Church of Synthiotics”, “Mimecom” and a couple of others. Also it turns out that all the main characters are closely related to each other and that as the story progresses it is revealed that these relationships are all different; so sons become brothers and uncles become cousins, mothers become wives etc etc until I could no longer follow them. The bad guys, whatever they’re called, have found a way to create a holographic TV system called Church Windows and that by taking a designer drug called “Mimesine” the viewer can make the holograms seem solid, and they can even be touched. The Fathers have an enemy, an underground guerilla force known as “The Friends” who are libertarian and promote the US Constitution. What is very interesting is that The Friends are more general nonconformists, like myself, as opposed to being motivated by a political ideology; they’re free-spirited and eccentric while the prevailing culture of the setting values and enforces extreme conventionality (Sounds familiar?). Sometimes their notions and activities make me wonder if they were inspired by Robert Anton Wilson. They dress in strange clothes have fun-filled parties and recite Walt Whitman poems, like Robin Williams’ characters in Dead Poets Society and Patch Adams. This engaged me into the film on an emotional level and I found it oddly gripping. The Fathers are easy to despise because they’re authoritarian, sadistic and hateful, torturing and mutilating their victims; The Friends on the other hand exhibit a hippie-like “peace n’ love” demeanour. The series ends happily and I remember well the joyous celebrations on the streets, and the people calling out: “The Fathers have fallen!” has stuck in my mind ever since. The series could have been better on a structural and technical level, but it is perfect in terms of style and intrigue.

There’s a curious fact associated with Wild Palms: that just a couple of years before it was produced another TV movie came out in Britain called The Vision, which had a very similar plot. In this case the main protagonist is played by the elderly Dirk Bogarde and the climax of the story has Bogarde’s character interrupting a live TV programme and speaking out to the viewers, alerting them to the dangers of the secret conspiracy behind a new TV network, a la Wild Palms. The Vision however ends on a more sombre note. As soon as he’s arrested and led off by the police the hero realizes that the programme’s producers anticipated his action and did not in fact broadcast live as promised. His outburst is swiftly edited and the broadcast continues. The film is very hard to get hold of. It’s not currently being broadcast anywhere online and can only be purchased as a old VHS tape on the American Amazon site, see: http://www.amazon.com/Vision-David-M-Thompson/dp/B0009VF5KA.

I really don’t agree that we’re living in a world where we’re controlled by the media. I do agree that there are attempts, occasionally successful, to control our minds via some of the elements working within the media, but these elements by no means have a monopoly. Some people claim that movies which challenge the Conformist norm and Illuminati-engendered ethics are a psy-op, controlled-opposition. I’ve already said that in a completely Illuminati-controlled media there would have to be very attenuated and shallow counter-propositional anti-establishment productions in order not to make the manipulation too obvious, but people who claim that the works I’ve mentioned and described here are examples of this controlled-opposition are making a mistake I think. This mistake leads to a very twisted and unfalsifiable logic. Watching Robbie Graham at the Exopolitics Conferences, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/exopolitics-leeds-2011.html and reading his blog Silver Screen Saucers, was a real eye-opener for me, see: http://silverscreensaucers.blogspot.co.uk/. When I hear people on the Internet chime: “Avatar is a psy-op!” “Close Encounters... is a psy-op!” I’m afraid I can’t take them seriously. You see if these works are all controlled-opposition then what on Earth could not be? How does anything pass the test that these people would use to prove that a film is not a psy-op? I’ve seen films and read books that have made my jaw drop with the level of daring that they show in raising certain subjects and themes that are totally taboo in the world of non-fiction: false-flag terrorism, UFO cover-ups, the faked Moon Landings, fake war reports, mind-control in education etc etc. These works are definitely not all controlled-opposition. Real controlled-opposition would be very different to what we see in these people’s theories. It would be far less soulful and sophisticated. This is firstly because propaganda doesn’t need to be very sophisticated to work; in fact very simplistic and monolithic themes tend to work best for most viewers, like in Independence Day and Roland Emmerich’s other movies. Secondly I suspect that the Illuminati are simply not capable of producing anything soulful and sophisticated; such feats are beyond the remit of their mental processes.

I can’t really write an article on this subject without paying tribute to my favourite anti-establishment TV series of all: Blakes 7. In fact I think this TV series ends the debate about media control. I review it in details in this article: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2007/10/blakes-7.html. If the conspiracy to control the media was as successful as some theorists claim it is, then how the hell did they let this one slip through the net? Yes, the media is often used to manipulate the thoughts and feelings of those who watch it, but this agenda is in no way complete. There are many individuals working in the media today: script-writers, novelists, TV producers, film-makers; including some very famous names indeed, who know exactly what is going on in this world. They know far, far more then you’ll ever hear them admit in any interview or in any non-fictional piece of writing, but they know alright; and what’s more they’re trying to tell us. Their mission is not in vain, because we hear them. If any of them are reading this I’d like to say just one thing: Thanks guys!

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

A HPANWO book review:

I was drawn to read the book Atlas Shrugged by a mysterious and irresistible urge that I can’t articulate or explain rationally; these kinds of things happen to me from time to time, as those who know me well will attest. I’d first heard the name of the author, Ayn Rand, many years ago, on a curious website claiming to be authored by the Illuminati, one that I now can’t find. I thought it was a strange name and wondered who he, or she, was. The website preached Atheo-Materialism, eugenics and social Darwinism; many of its proposals horrified me. I took heart from the fact that this website is not by the real Illuminati, as if the real Illuminati would use the Internet; but I cannot take heart from the fact that the real Illuminati are even worse than their imaginary equivalents on this site!

I soon found out afterwards that Ayn Rand was a philosopher who had been born in Russia in 1905 but became a naturalized American citizen as a young woman. Her name at birth was Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, but like many expatriate Russians, like the actors Richard Marner and Yul Brynner, she changed her name. She founded the philosophical school of Objectivism; the ethical tenet of which is that Man has no moral duty to anything other than his own happiness, prosperity and well-being. According to this notion Altruism, giving of yourself for others, is a crime against yourself; modesty is a delusion and that anybody who tries to persuade you to abandon your own rational self-interest for anything else is a violator. Rand pulls no punches and regards her philosophical opponents as evil and objects of hatred, “monsters” she says. Here are two interviews with her, one in 1959: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukJiBZ8_4k and this one twenty years later, three years before her death in 1982: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx-LpRSbbeA . Incidentally one of her most prominent fans was Allan Greenspan and he attended her funeral.

Rand’s radical new ideas were mostly absorbed by the public through her polemic novels, two in particular: The Fountainhead in 1943 and Atlas Shrugged in 1957. These two books changed many people’s lives and she quickly built up a veritable army of admirers making her one of the world’s greatest “pop philosophers”. Atlas Shrugged is parodied in my favourite novel of all time Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s The Illuminatus! Trilogy. One of the antagonists is a veritable prediction of Ann Coulter, a woman called Atlanta Hope who writes a novel called Telemachus Sneezed. I thought I should look at the serious side too, so I bought the real McCoy. One thing that struck me immediately was its size. In Illuminatus! we hear about Telemachus Sneezed in the story because a character reads it during a plane flight. You’d probably have to fly round the world a dozen times to get through Atlas Shrugged! It’s over 645,000 words; this makes it almost double the length of my own novel Evan’s Land, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2010/11/evans-land-online.html . It was in a single volume, a huge doorstep of a book; over a thousand pages of small-type text; nevertheless I picked it up and began. The title comes from the Greek myth of Atlas. He is the Titan whose job it is to hold the world up on his shoulders and the book’s cover had a photo of a statue of Atlas, see at the top of the article. By the act of shrugging, it meant that he dropped his load and the world fell down to Hades or wherever. The story is set in a dystopian world in which corrupt global Socialism is taking hold of everything and all nations on Earth are being converted into “People’s States”. The USA is one of the last bastions of freedom left on the planet and the government is clamping down on free enterprise and private industry wherever they can. The two main protagonists are a woman called Dagny Taggart and man called Hank Reardon. The two are both industrialists; Dagny is co-director of a railway company and Hank runs a steelworks. Both are hard-working visionaries; Dagny has dreams of creating grand railways and Hank has invented a new super-strong alloy which he unoriginally and immodestly christens “Reardon Metal”. The socialistic state bureaucrats of the story, who are jointly known as “the looters”, try to appropriate the metal and nationalize Reardon’s mills under new collectivist laws, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs”, as they say; and Hank’s main task in the story is to stop them. His attitude personifies Rand’s idea of the virtue of selfishness. In one memorable scene Hank’s brother says to him: “Henry, you must be more careful what you say to people. You’ll make them think that all you’re interested in is making lots of money for yourself.” Hank replies simply: “But that is all I’m interested in.” Hank and Dagny meet one day and a romance develops between them. There is a lot of love interest in this story and virtually all the major male protagonists fall in love with Dagny, often causing friction that reflects the author’s own personal life. Rand herself was married to a man she loved, but also had a very intense relationship with one of her young students. The backdrop to this tale is the constant decline of the world's infratructure around them, economically, socially and morally. In one scene Hank and Dagny go off on a driving holiday and come across a whole town full of starving unemployed workers surrounding a derelict factory. They explore the factory and make a discovery that is one of the most interesting in the book, but I’ll come to that in a moment. This degeneration of society has two main causes: firstly, the increasing ruthlessness of the government in its agenda to nationalize everything and strip all people of their intellectual rights and private property; and secondly, that all the greatest industrialists are mysteriously disappearing. This is the enduring enigma of the novel and the only clue is a name that becomes a catchphrase: John Galt. Everywhere Dagny and Hank go they come across people who ask almost out of some strange habit: “Who is John Galt?”

What made me glad I read the book was that it has an unexpected element of conspiratorial-awareness that I hadn’t expected; nothing in Rand’s interviews or other writings indicates it (Although I’ve yet to read The Fountainhead). In the abandoned and ruined factory Hank and Dagny discover a strange broken machine that turns out to be a Free Energy device, similar to the ones invented by Nikola Tesla, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2011/05/nikola-tesla-as-close-as-it-gets.html . This machine is seized by the “looters” and secreted away in a hidden chamber in Dagny’s main railway station. It is kept from the people for the very reason Tesla’s was in real life: to preserve the power of the Elite and keep the masses from technology that could liberate them from control. Dagny sets off to track down the inventor of the machine; the only clue she has to go on is a strange cigarette end with a dollar sign as its logo. She eventually manages to catch one of the vanishing industrialists mid-sodding off and chases him by roads, rail and eventually in the air. He takes off in a light aircraft and she pursues him in another. The aircraft flies off to a remote corner of the Rocky Mountains and as it descends into a valley it dematerializes. As Dagny follows she sees only uninhabited mountainside and is perplexed, but then it turns out that the scenery is just a holographic projection, another science-fictional aspect to the novel. Beneath it is secret idyllic commune based on Objectivist principles and run by a tall, handsome man with a Greek god-like appearance, and it is revealed that he is John Galt. It turns out he is the inventor of the Free Energy device and the community is powered by a working model. The machine is kept inside a small building with a lock on the door activated by a human voice when he or she utters the words: “I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine”. The lock is obviously very sophisticated because it can tell whether you really mean it and understand the words when you speak them! It is only when Dagny learns to do so that she can open the door to the building and see the miraculous machine inside. In this wonderful place she finds all the great industrialists, scientists, artists, musicians and all the other “movers and shakers” of the world who have disappeared; and they explain to her that they’re all on strike, and they call her a “scab” for not joining in too. The chapter in which Dagny finds John Galt and his paradisiacal haven is entitled Atlantis, and we can draw a lot of connotations from that.

Dagny returns to the outside world to find Hank still locked in a battle to save his life’s work from the looters; unfortunately during her stay in “Galt’s Gulch” she went off Hank and fell in love with John Galt. There’s a sex scene in which Dagny and Galt make love in the railway tunnel leading to the underground Taggart station; of course it’s all very poetic and metaphorical, this was the 1950’s after all and Rand was no DH Lawrence! Then the love triangle becomes a square when another of the heroes, Fransico D’Anconia, announces that he is in love with Dagny too. The square almost unbelievably expands into a pentagon when it is revealed that Dagny’s secretary, Eddie Willers, also has a secret crush on her! But he wisely keeps his feelings to himself. Unfortunately the authorities soon after find out who John Galt is and realize what he’s done, and they kidnap him. They realize that they need the “movers and shakers” after all and beg him to call off the strike. He refuses and so they torture him with electric shocks. The novel ends with something of an anticlimax, I think, when John Galt is busted out of custody by the other strikers and they all fly off back to Galt’s Gulch to wait for the total collapse of civilization before coming out of the shadows to build the world anew. In the final scene of the novel the lights of the cities go out as the strikers’ aircraft fly off into the mountains.

The novel was published amidst a storm of controversy; it quickly became a book you either loved or hated. The critics panned it; the socialist Gore Vidal called it: “Nearly perfect in its immorality” and it was likewise described as “a homage to greed” and “written out of hate”. Those with political Leftist sympathies were the bulk of the book’s adversaries; some obviously just disliked its economic theory, glorifying capitalism and laissez-faire deregulation. However some even denounced it as fascistic, playing on the Nazi Aryan imagery of the heroes and that the looters were intended to be seen as Jewish. Once again we get this paranoid nonsense about antiSemtism, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-anti-semitic-are-you.html Rand herself is from a secular Jewish family, so no doubt she’s been labeled a self-hater! However Rand was inspired by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who opposed conventional morality, “slave morality” as he called it, and wanted to replace it with “aristocratic morality”. Despite my general disdain for “Duh Cwitics”, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2008/06/critics.html and for Leftist politicians, I do find elements of the book disturbing. Rand thinks that her economic model would create a paradise on Earth, but total and sudden deregulation of the economy could result in chaos and the destruction of the lives of those less well off. I don’t share Rand’s worship of fixated self-interest and I don’t consider it unethical or “self-sacrificing” to care what happens to other people. How many people remember that a mild form of her Objectivist economy has been already tried out here in Britain under Margaret Thatcher, and for many people in this country it was a disaster. Immediate and complete deregulation of all industry would not turn the world into a global Galt’s Gulch; it would set the corporatocracy loose to plunder and pillage like Vikings on Viagra! This is not to say that Rand’s economic ideas are totally distasteful and useless. They might work very well in the future after a social and spiritual revolution that ends the Illuminati control and occupation of this world; I’m just saying that they are not the method for achieving it. However my own ideas on post-Illuminati society do echo Rand’s model up to a point, even though I’d never heard of Rand when I came up with them. In some ways her notions resemble EF Schumacher and even David Icke in their theoretical structure. To find out more go to the HPANWO Index in the Links column and see the articles in the section called The post-Illuminati World.

Ayn Rand is a very poetic and romantic writer who fills her prose with emotion, but this emotional content is fairly raw, primitive and polarized. The primary feeling the characters have for each other is hate. The heroes' hate for the looters and the looters’ hate for them. The only other emotion is love, but a very obsessive and infatuated form of love; rather adolescent and immature. Maybe this reveals something about the author’s own psychology and her very turbulent personal life. A film has been made starring Helen Mirren in the title role on this very subject, The Passion of Ayn Rand, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TcMTKPoitQ I’m not trying to sound smug here. Ayn Rand is only human and there have been times in my life when I’ve also acted way below my age in matters of the heart. A few years ago I was totally smitten by a girl at work called Vicky; I sent her Valentine cards and everything. Unfortunately Vicky didn’t feel the same way about me, but she was very nice about the whole thing, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2008/02/valentines-day.html I look back now and feel a bit embarrassed about the things I did and said during that period of my life, but maybe that just makes me no different to anybody else, least of all Ayn Rand. One of the things that disturbs me the most about Rand’s ideas, although this aspect is not explored in the book, is her attitude to disabled people, especially the mentally handicapped. As you’ll see if you listen to her interviews she sometimes comes out with statements that frighteningly smack of eugenics, but she always quickly qualifies and dampens them down when challenged. Supposing whoever was behind that fake Illuminati website has taken her at her word; what if others do in the future? In the 1979 interview that I post above she says she objects to “kneeling buses”. I assume she means the kind of bus that makes up the majority of the ones we see on the roads of our cities today; the buses that can lower themselves down on their suspension so that their doorway touches the ground to let wheelchairs on board. Why does she object to them? What’s wrong with them? How do they involve any self-sacrifice on the part of able-bodied people? How are we “lowering ourselves”? Rand sometimes comes out with some deeply stupid and crazy notions, ones that could be dangerous.

Ayn Rand has inspired many modern political movements. At many Tea Party rallies you’ll see people carrying placards with the classic words from the book: “Who is John Galt?”; and Ron Paul, one of the few politicians I’d trust to tell me the time of day, has spoken publically about his respect for Rand. There is an idea going round these various movements that Atlas Shrugged is a prophetic novel like George Orwell's 1984; in the current world of bailouts and austerity measures it’s an understandable conclusion to reach. I disagree with that though. The novel is definitely allegorical but to understand the allegory we need to look into the past not the future. Although the book is set in a dystopian America, the way the government imposes socialism and collectivism on the population is what happened in Rand’s native Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917 and it’s very likely that this experience greatly stimulated her philosophical work. She lived though this period and attended university in the new Soviet Union. Thank goodness she managed to get out of the country before Stalin came to power otherwise Atlas Shrugged would never have been written because its author would have been dead!

In the end though my feelings for the book are mixed and I don’t regret reading it at all. Despite the negativity of the critics the book has developed a minor cult following over the years and decades since its publication and I admire anything that incites the population to “defy the critics”. One of the aspects I enjoyed about the book was that despite its virulent anti-socialist theme it also strongly opposes snobbery. Dagny, Hank and the other major characters, despite the fact they are rich industrial Elitists, have a lot of humanity in their hearts. They are very down-to-Earth and have many working-class friends. In fact it is one of Dagny’s friends, a man who runs a cigarette stall on the Taggart Transcontinental station, who first gives her a clue to the whereabouts of John Galt when he shows her the strange fag-end with the dollar sign on it. There’s a quite moving scene where Dagny opens her new railway line and the staff all come out in support of her. (Ayn Rand went on a train-driving course herself as research for this scene).

All in all, this is a book that can only do good because whether you love it or hate it, I promise it will stimulate your mind and get you thinking. What’s more I’ve just bought a copy of The Fountainhead which I want to read next and I’ll review that too if I think it’s necessary. We may be approaching a period in history when some of Ayn Rand’s philosophy could be useful, even essential. The only mistake made is that so many people, including Rand herself, think it can be applied to today’s world; it can’t. Rand’s philosophy is way ahead of its time. The ideas themselves are not yet ripe for picking, and the world is not yet ready for them to be applied with safety or justice.

"It's the JOOOOOZZZ!"

When I first became conspiratorially-aware a number of years ago now the question passed through my head that probably passes through everybody’s when faced with the revelations which such awareness brings: If there’s a conspiracy, who’s behind it? If you go online or read a few books you’ll find any number of accusations and nominees queuing up to answer your question: Americans, Muslims, the British, aliens, undersea monsters, big business, the Devil; there’s even a very long and detailed speech by Michael Shrimpton of the Marlborough Group claiming that it’s Germany, another name to add to that long, long list! See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai5XSVZ5Adg Finger-pointing of this kind is a very serious matter; firstly because any errors can lead to terrible injustice; and the labelling with congenital liability of entire creeds and nations of people as accountable for the actions of their rulers or authorities comes with devastating consequences for them. History has shown that this can lead to horrific suffering and even mass-murder, and often as a result of allegations far less heinous than being behind the New World Order. The particular theory I’m going to address in this article is one of the most widespread in the conspiratorial community: that the New World Order global super-conspiracy, and all the systemic auxiliary conspiracies that come with it, is organized and implemented by Jews. This is a question that is one of the most politically incorrect it’s possible to mention and just to ask it, regardless of your answer, can lead to charges of antiSemitism, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-anti-semitic-are-you.html . However on HPANWO we do not back down to such hysterical nonsense and if there’s a suggestion that the culprits of the New World Order are the Jews then we’re going to address it, after all if it’s true then what good can we gain by denying it? Don’t the people of the world have a right to know?

The Jewish Theory is the term I will use for convenience; I mean it to relate to all the various super-conspiracy notions involving Jews as the main perpetrators. It is one commonly held both within the conspiratorial community and beyond it into the realms of the extremities of conventional politics and religious philosophy, like radical Islam and the Far Right. It is based out of analysis into almost all areas of human activity, from religion, politics, human races, and especially economic. Jews, as a distinct racial group as well as being a religion and culture, are said to be behind the various oppressive machinations of the world’s financial system that is currently afflicting most countries in the world, especially Greece at the time of writing, and has done so throughout history. These ideas have a long history that date back to the Gospels and the story of Jesus’ attack on the money-lenders in the Temple of Jerusalem; it’s the only scene in the Bible in which Jesus exhibits physical violence and so has become one of the most renowned. Jews are often called “Christ-killers” because they were the ones who had Jesus executed. A motive for this is often hard to pin down, but it ranges from revenge from those aforementioned Jewish money-lenders; to the Jews as a people killing Christ simply because they work for the Devil! These ideas are said to be promoted in Mel Gibson’s 2004 film The Passion of the Christ. The theories linking Jews to economic oppression are numerous, and they have spread out from the Biblical precedent of the Temple scene; they claim that all Jews are rich, tight-fisted and greedy. They bamboozle the common people out of their wealth through their financial expertise and their control of the banks, and they plan to economically enslave the entire human race, with themselves as masters of the world. There is said to be evidence supporting this from the lips of world Judaism itself: even the most fundamental Jewish text, the Talmud, outlines the concept of Jewish supremacism and their contempt for the rest of humanity whom they regard as mere goyim, “cattle”. Not only that, but anybody who defends the Talmudic influence by saying: “It’s only a very old book! How many Christians follow every word of the Bible?” will be immediately shown a more contemporary document: The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a do-it-yourself guide to taking over the planet; this is apparently proof that the Jews of the world still scheme and plot the downfall of mankind into the modern era. Many well-respected figures in the early 20th Century spoke out against the Jewish peril and tried to alert the ignorant masses to the perceived Nemesis which faced them. Among them was Henry Ford, pioneer of the personal motor car that is such a major part of today’s world; and Charles Lindbergh, the great businessman and aviator who first flew an aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to France. For people with these viewpoints Adolf Hitler was effectively a civil rights advocate and freedom-fighter! His emergence onto the world stage was like the coming of the Messiah. After his defeat in the Second World War it is said that the victorious Jews decided to psychologically traumatize the world with a new ruse: the Holocaust. They pretended that millions of their people had been viscously exterminated by the Nazis. The shame of this crime gave them the ability to moral blackmail their victims as well as steal their money and seize their lands. By putting their own people into management of the mainstream media and ensuring Jewish nepotism in show-business they found that they could also control the minds of the populace to ensure they never rebelled against God’s Chosen. Through their engineering of the revolutions in America, France and Russia the Jews made sure their kind of people stayed in control of the world.

It all sounds very neat and simple, doesn’t it? We have a problem, the cause of the problem has been identified and therefore the solution is obvious; but is that how the world really works? I have no doubt that the world is being conspired against completely and on every level, but is it because of the Jews? Can that possibly be the basic solution? To answer this we need to understand who the Jews are and where they come from. Judaism as a faith and culture is very old, by far the oldest major international religion in existence. It dates back to the beginning of history; as the Bible states, it emerged among the Bronze Age tribes in what is now the Holy Land. The early Jews were cruelly enslaved and persecuted by the first historical civilizations of Egypt, Persia and Iraq, but according to the Bible they won their freedom, and a new and exclusive homeland with the help of God’s direct intervention, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2011/12/ark-of-covenant.html . This immediately raises a question regarding the theory I outlined above: Civilization is far older than we’ve been led to believe by conventional academia; the Earth is littered by artefacts and highly sophisticated stone constructions that are far older than academia says human societies with the ability to erect them have existed, see Graham Hancock’s website on the Links column. However history begins with the rising of two civilizations in the late 4th Millennium BC: Egypt and Sumer. This is a big subject that needs to be explored fully in its own article; but suffice to say for the purposes of this discussion I suspect that these two civilizations, especially the Sumerian one, were secretly sponsored by the covert organization that I call the Illuminati. The Illuminati itself has its origins in prehistory in one of the societies that left behind the ancient monuments that conventional scholars deny even exist. This immediately makes it clear that the Illuminati cannot be Jews; this is because the Illuminati is far older than Judaism and that Judaism arose outside the Illuminati’s original sphere of influence. Judaism was from the outset very much a pre-Illuminati culture that was one among many. Not only that, but the early Illuminati-sponsored societies fiercely oppressed and imprisoned the Jews. The objective of the Israelite prophets also doesn’t match the theory that Jews are behind the New World Order: the goal of Moses and his successors has always been the establishment of a homeland for their people in the country currently occupied by the modern state of Israel (Israel in reality has nothing to do with Jews, but I’ll come to that in a moment); this is the original and basic definition of the term Zionism. It was never and has never been the ambition of the Jewish people to take over the world, nor impinge their will on any non-Jewish person other than those who threaten the safety of the “Promised Land” and its citizens. Critics of this defence and proponents of the Jewish Theory point to the racist propaganda in the Talmud; they say that the Talmud promotes viewing gentiles as donkeys, prohibits sex and marriage between Jews and gentiles, and that it’s right by God to abuse gentiles etc. This has been challenged as a misunderstanding or deliberate distortion of the Talmud, see: http://talmud.faithweb.com/ . The supposedly offending passages are dialogues discussing various ideas in an academic hearing and the conclusion of that hearing is that these bigoted notions are not true. Jewish lore contains a lot of egalitarian wisdom about how all humans are descendents of Adam and are children of God; the Talmud contains strict rules of good conduct in its dealings with gentiles. This has allowed Jewish communities to flourish in many areas of the world and, contrary to popular belief, they have had many successful and peaceful political relationships with the gentile populations they share their lands with. A classic example is Palestine. After the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of Islam the Sephardic Jews continued to live in the Holy Land for over 1500 years and got on perfectly well with their Muslim neighbours. So when a bomb goes off on a bus in Jerusalem or the Israeli air force bombs a housing estate on the West Bank, it is not the modern manifestation of some kind of ancient struggle; it is a conflict that did not exist before 1947. Don’t believe the hype!

The answer to all the above is often the publication only about a century ago of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. As with the Talmudic commentary, this does make sense on the surface. The text is very straightforward and unequivocal, containing sentences like: “The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician... ... The Goyim are bemused with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism and from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special agents - by tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy, by clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation frequented by... ... Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favour of that King-Despot of the blood of the Jews, whom we are preparing for the world. The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe...” The problem is that this entire document is a forgery. It may well have been based on a real political textbook because it resembles so many more recent ones like Silent Weapons for a Quiet War, but the Jewish angle has been fraudulently transcribed into it by its publisher; that’s a proven fact and I describe that in more detail in this article: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2008/02/protocols-of-zion.html . The film The Passion of the Christ has caused a massive controversy and in some cases the demonization of its director Mel Gibson. However once one digs beneath the fanatical veneer one sees a different story. Gibson has his defenders, among them Whoopi Goldberg, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ccAPIEfAIU . As she says, would a black woman like her really be friends with Mel Gibson if he were a racist? Would she invite him to her home as a guest and allow him in the same room as her children? The Passion of the Christ is no more antiSemitic than the story it follows very faithfully, one of the oldest and most famous stories in the world. If Gibson’s film of it is to be banned as antiSemitic then we’d also have to ban the Gospels. The Passion of the Christ differs from other interpretations of Jesus’ last days only by its realism in its use of reconstructed Latin, Aramaic and Hebrew dialogue; and the very brutal scourging scene which has been described as one of the most violent and disturbing ever released in the cinema. It’s also interesting to note that the Gospels themselves are not as antiSemitic as they’ve usually been interpreted. For instance, from a theological point of view, the despising and rejecting by the Jews of Jesus was foretold and preordained by the prophets. This means that the Jews were effectively just following a script. Even the much-maligned Judas Iscariot; imagine how pissed off God would have been if Judas had refused to betray Christ! He’d have been in worse trouble than he ended up in anyway! He can’t win! This was a point not lost to my Catholic mother who caused a bit of a stir one Easter by making a Simnal cake with thirteen apostles on it. She felt sorry for Judas for the reasons I’ve just mentioned and wanted to redeem him. The way Jesus was executed was by crucifixion, a punishment that led to the crucifix being adopted as the symbol of the entire Church (a rather gruesome and morbid motif, I used to think as a child). This was a uniquely Roman form of punishment and it was used throughout their empire; if you ever saw the film Spartacus you’ll see the hero and his comrades being dispatched in the same way. This indicates that the death sentence on Jesus was a strictly Roman affair for an act of treason against the Roman state, not the Pharisees’ dominion. It’s unlikely that the Romans would release a convicted traitor just because of the Passover. A Jewish execution would have involved stoning, as we saw in earlier part of the Gospels where Jesus defends an adulteress with the classic line: “Who among you is without sin? Let him cast the first stone!”

On the 9th of February 1933 the following appeared in a newspaper called Jewish World (Thanks to *Kia* on the HPANWO Forum for digging this one up, although I can’t locate a source; as far as I can see there’s never been a newspaper of that name. EDIT: It might be this one. See: http://jewishworldnews.org/): “The great ideal of Judaism is that the whole world shall be imbued with Jewish teachings, and that a universal brotherhood of nations- a greater Judaism in fact. All the separate races and religions shall disappear.” Unfortunately in all cultures, races and religions there are ignorant and bigoted people. You could take that sentence and replace the word “Judaism” with white, black, Christian, American, almost anything you can imagine and it could match what some idiotic person has said at some time; and this needs to be challenged and resisted. But we must not fool ourselves by thinking this is the problem, that this is the basis for the New World Order. We’ve already established that Jews were not part of the original Illuminati foothold on planet Earth, they developed independently and were sworn enemies of those Illuminati-occupied states. Then, goes the theory: if they are behind the New World Order then they must have somehow infiltrated those states and taken them over. But does this then mean that there was no New World Order originally planned by the Illuminati before the Jews got involved? You see that the idea just doesn’t logically add up. Is there any other evidence from history that Jews were a malign and corrosive influence on society? According to some historians the evidence lies in the fact that Jews were banished from so many kingdoms during the Middle Ages. However these kingdoms were ruled by kings and queens that were definitely part of the Illuminati network; their lineage and involvement with the Occult can be traced right back to the Illuminati beachhead states of Sumer and Egypt so if Jews were somehow involved with their conspiracy you’d have thought the European Crowns would have welcomed them in with open arms; “OK, Ishmael, come on in and have a cigar. You take care of the money and I’ll deal with the wars!” There is a theory that there is some kind of secret conflict between different “sides” within the Illuminati; this is a possibility, but I can’t see how it can be the “Jewish Illuminati” versus the “non-Jewish Illuminati” to any great extent. How could such a fundamental conflict not have brought down the entire New World Order thousands of years ago? If I’m wrong and this conflict is real then how does it do us any good to take sides in it ourselves? Are the non-Jewish Illuminati somehow our allies?

In today’s world we see a planet on which Jews have supposedly been given a part of it as a homeland by the international community: Israel. This aberrant fiefdom has developed into one of the most brutal and corrupt regimes in the modern world; it carries out atrocities with impunity against its neighbouring lands and people, and suppresses them within its own borders. It exploits the tragedy of those who suffered under the Nazis to generate sympathy and guilt among other nations. What a terrible memorial Israel is to all the many Jews who died at the hands of others throughout history! See: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2011/01/holocaust-memorial-day_26.html Israel has multiple foreign support organizations in the powerful Western countries like AIPAC and the British Israeli lobby, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E70BwA7xgU Any Jew who criticizes Israel is lambasted under the absurd label of being a “self-hater”. Any gentile who criticizes Israel, like me, courts accusations of antiSemitism, despite the fact that this whole article is intended to be a long and detailed defence of Jews! Jews financial and banking activities are said to be behind the revolutions in America, France and Russia; the most common accusation is that Communism is a Jewish front because Karl Marx was a Jew and the Russian Revolution was funded by Jews. Actually Marx is credited with inventing Communism; but he was inspired by many pervious thinkers like John Ruskin who was an English gentile. What’s more, although Western involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution was real and deeply suspicious there’s no reason to think that there was something directly related to Judaism about it. There’s no doubt that the banking system is clearly a terrible burden on this world and one of the central tools of Illuminati power, but not all bankers are Jewish by any means. It’s true that a disproportionate number of them are Jewish, but sheer weight of numbers does not always count as evidence of control. Jewish culture has always traditionally been very fiscally sound. All nations have their particular areas of expertise; the Germans are good at science, the British are great seafarers, the Spanish are great fashion designers, the French are great cooks and Jews are very sensible with money. This means that Jews may have naturally gravitated towards banking for very innocent reasons long before the modern banking system arrived. In the same way that the French are not in control of Monsanto and the GMO food agenda just because they’re good cooks, the Jews are not the instigators of the money conspiracy just because they happen to be good bankers. If you look into the history of the banking system it lies primarily with the Black Nobility in Italy and the Knights Templar, much more Catholic than the Jewish. There’s nothing inherently evil about banking and money, indeed money has existed since pre-Illuminati Neolithic times; it’s the manipulation of money as a tool of control that is the problem. What’s more I do wonder about the ulterior motives of Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh for their antiSemitic remarks; could it be envy and insecurity as a result of business rivalry? Lindbergh was not a man of good mental health anyway. He had five children all of whom died in infancy; the first was kidnapped and murdered amidst much publicity. I don’t think this could possibly have washed over him without leaving a few marks. Another claim is that Jews control the media. In fact the BNP leader Nick Griffin once wrote a book in which he made a big deal out of the fact that 11% of the BBC’s employees were Jewish, that’s double the number you’d expect based on the national British ratio of Jews to everybody else in the country, roughly 5%. But as with the banks, Jews have a long traditional cultural association with show-business that dates back to the ages of the Diaspora before their emancipation in Europe when the Theatre and other performing arts were the only places they could use their talents to earn a living. Many Jews have honoured this tradition by becoming film directors, producers and script-writers, and why on Earth shouldn’t they? Somebody on the David Icke Forum a few days ago issued me a challenge: “Name me ten Hollywood producers who are not Jewish”; I couldn’t. But my reply to him was: “So what?” Does the asymmetrical presence of Jews in Hollywood mean Jews run Hollywood for the purposes of the conspiracy according to the Jewish Theory? I’d say “no”. If you look at what Hollywood is and what it produces you’ll see a huge variety of different themes and subjects. There are many instances where people have analyzed Hollywood films for all kinds of propaganda, like Robbie Graham and his Silver Screen Saucers blog: http://silverscreensaucers.blogspot.com/ (Also see my HPANWO TV reportage on the 2011 Leeds Exopolitics Conference: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2011/08/exopolitics-leeds-2011.html). I myself have written about famous films and the encoded messages within them. However when it comes to Hollywood we find that there is no single direction of persuasion at all. Hollywood proudly releases as many very progressive and anti-establishment films as it does pro-authority ones. Even individual directors like Stephen Spielberg, who is a Jew, has made many films on the subject of UFO’s and aliens which project very diverging Exopolitical ideologies. One of his early ones from 1977, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, was a very nonConformist and anti-establishment film yet he also remade War of the Worlds in 2005, a very depressing and pessimistic prediction of mankind’s interaction with ET’s. This wouldn’t make sense if Spielberg was somehow an agent of a Jewish cabal controlling Hollywood. What muddies the waters of this theory even more is that some of the most hyped films in the recent history of cinema have been a series of extremely reactionary and monolithic pro-establishment movies made by Roland Emmerich; examples are Independence Day, Godzilla and 2012. In my view these films count as the most overrated ever, but the relevant point here is that Emmerich comes from an upper class German gentile background. Another interesting film maker is Ridley Scott; his films are of infinitely better quality than Emmerich’s, but they also contain powerful militaristic and authoritarian conceptions. Scott is a British gentile too. Interestingly he’s also produced promotional videos by Common Purpose, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2009/11/ridley-scott-makes-common-purpose.html . So how does this relate to the concept of Jewish control? I don't think it does.

One of the most bizarre claims made by Jewish Theorists is that Jews control pornography. This begs the question why pornography has anything to do with the New World Order, especially when they’re also reputed to be the engineers of Feminism. I personally regard pornography as pretty harmless; contrary to popular belief 99% plus is completely legal and features only consenting adults. What I find far more sinister are what have become known as “Lad Mags”, ones with titles like Front, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo etc. Porn merely panders to our natural biological instincts whereas Lad Mags try to change the way men think, but that’s a story for another article. There are several radio shows discussing pornography as it relates to Jews; it’s a favourite topic of discussion on the Far Rightist podcast Goyfire, see: http://www.goyfire.com/ The hosts change from episode to episode but the shows almost always include a very angry little man called Alex Linder who vocally and furiously explains what he thinks is going on. It’s a supposed plan to exterminate the white European race, “europids” as he calls us, by a process of “miscegenation”; this is a form of genocide carried out by forcing or manipulating a people to interbreed with another race until the original race no longer contains any members with a pure genome. And who does Linder think is behind this plot? You guessed it! Jews in control of the porn industry are promoting interracial sex and therefore the production of half-cast children in order to eliminate all white people. There is indeed a category of pornography called “interracial” which portrays black and white people having sex together. However Linder doesn’t explain why this is just one of many categories of pornography that cater to every individual porn-viewer’s tastes; interracial sex is not promoted above all the others. Strangely enough Alex Linder seems to object to interracial porn more vociferously when it involves black men with white women. He is curiously not so narked when it’s vice versa; white men with black women trouble his mind much less, and this could reveal something very interesting about his personal psychology. He rants on about “cuckold interracial”, this is a porn film in which a black man makes love to a white woman, usually she’s a pretty blonde with blue eyes, in front of her jealous white husband. I can’t help wondering if Alex Linder is actually just expressing his own personal insecurities through false political activism. Maybe he just can’t stand the thought of white women preferring black men to him. A lot of women find black men attractive, not only because they tend to be very “well-blessed”, but because black people in general are mesomorphic; this means they have naturally better muscle-tone than whites, giving them a more appealing physique. There’s another interesting website run by a British man who is anonymous, but goes by the Internet soubriquet of “Guessedworker”, see: http://majorityrights.com/ He has a terrible bee in his bonnet about the singer Seal’s marriage to the German supermodel Heidi Klum, obviously because she fits into the Nazi Aryan stereotype and that Seal is a good-looking black man, who no doubt has the physical characteristics to give her a good time in bed. Perhaps “Guessedworker” is worried that he doesn’t. Interracial sex is not something that bothers me at all, and indeed there are plenty of black women I find very sexually desirable so I’d be a hypocrite if I did; does this really spell the death-knell for white people? It strikes me that if somebody was serious about wanting to exterminate the white race, then miscegenation seems a poor way to go about it. Firstly, in humans, this would take many completely cooperative generations, and then only if the ratio of blacks with whites in society was far greater. Anything remotely short of 50%, about 10% in the case of Europe, would result in black people being miscegenated themselves, as has actually happened many times in the past. If you go to Lisbon in Portugal today you’ll see very few black people, and they’re all recent immigrants, but there was a time when there were a large number of black servants and freed slaves in Lisbon. Where did they go? Nowhere, they were miscegenated into the population and their descendents are the white people of Lisbon today. Race-mixing is not like mixing paint; you don’t end up with everybody “grey”, half-cast to different degrees. It’s more like picking black and white balls out of a bag. Genes can be recessive and active, as Gregor Mendel discovered, and which they are will depend on how they’re sorted. So a black and white person might have a baby that is half-cast, but that child will not produce “quarter cast” offspring; their subsequent children will be either black or white and with succeeding generations the minority genes become more recessive until they cease to have an effect. Also if Jews are really doing this then why? What is their motive for using black people as a weapon against whites? How will this aid their New World Order? Is the presence of white people in the world inimical to the New World Order? If so why? And wouldn’t this also mean the Jews will be exterminating themselves? How racially different are Jews to the rest of us anyway? Although the DNA of Jews does contain particular signatures and are from “haplogroups” that display their origins among the Ashkenazi of central and Eastern Europe, their physical characteristics look fairly indistinguishable from anybody else. There are certain traits that have become known as “Jewish looks” like the big nose, pasty skin, dark hair and eyes, but many gentiles have this physiognomy too. For instance, although Jewish actors like Sacha Baron Cohen and Daniel Radcliffe do have these kinds of looks, so do the gentile actors Liam Neeson and Aidan Turner. So I suspect we’re dealing here with a mixture of a misunderstanding of genetics and Alex Linder’s and Guessedworker’s feelings of sexual inadequacy.



Aidan Turner and Liam Neeson, they look Jewish but are not.

The idea that Jews were behind 9/11 is based on two reports: firstly that the Jews working at the World Trade Centre were phoned up by Mossad and warned to stay off work on September the 11th 2001. In actual fact over 300 Jews died in the attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon, including 5 Israelis. If Mossad had really been behind 9/11 then they’d not have left such a red flag in the record by rescuing the common Jews from disaster. No, they’d have left them to die, sacrificed for political goals as they have been so many times in the past. An even bigger giveaway was the “dancing Israelis”, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRfhUezbKLw I can understand that the most ruthless Zionists would celebrate 9/11, knowing that the US would now be galvanized into supporting a more aggressive anti-Islamic policy in the Middle East that would benefit Israel, but I’d have thought that if these men were Mossad agents who were actively involved in the plot to carry out 9/11 they would keep a slightly lower profile. As I explain in my article linked above, How AntiSemitic are YOU?, this is a very difficult topic to ever explore in a rational and equitable way. Any mention of it can cause explosions of hysteria. Criticism of the Israeli tyranny is equated as hatred of Jews; opponents of babies being circumcised are labelled as racists against Jewish rites, although there are distinct secular and healthcare motives for opposing infant circumcision.

It’s indisputable that the agenda for the New World Order exists; most of what I upload to HPANWO is about exposing that fact; but in our desperate search for answers we must not be lazy, nor let our anger run away with us, nor be too eager to accept the easiest and quickest answers we find. The real perpetrators of the Global Conspiracy want nothing more than for people who are becoming aware of their existence to get sidetracked down a blind alley. I'm certain that the New World Order is not in any way shape or form the work of Jews. When we yell: “It’s the Jews!” we not only condemn millions of completely innocent people to what is effectively Original Sin. We’ll be in a position where we can demand anything from them and do anything to them. What depravity is there that we will not stoop to and not be able to justify? It’s vital that we therefore hold onto our rationality, our understanding and our temperance at all times during the turbulent years to come. The I-Ching, the ancient Chinese book of divination, has a hexagram entitled Revolution. It says that in a revolution two mistakes must be avoided at all costs: Firstly, it is important not to move with excessive haste, in thought or deed, nor be excessively harsh. Secondly any revolution must be based on a higher and inner truth. Any revolution not founded on a divine purpose will come to grief.

The Other Side of James Randi

This article is based this David Icke Forum thread: http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=5601

As far as James Randi goes there's a sense that he is "The Last Word” on any Paranormal claim, even among those who are not among his closest of supporters. James Randi is wont to be the Alpha and Omega, The Final Arbiter, on them because he has his Million Dollar Challenge, and/or that all the scientists love him etc etc. He has a reputation of being "lily-white" in his conduct and totally above-board, transparent, honest-as-the-day-is-long and flawless; but is this justified, or is there another side to the one-sided Angel that Randi is supposed to be? Firstly it’s important to bear in mind that Randi is a showman, he has a lifetime’s experience in communicating with and entertaining the public on stage and screen; this will have given him a “way” with people. He is also a stage conjuror, an illusionist who can make rabbits pop out of hats, cards change suits and watches disappear. Who’s to say he may not even be capable of carrying out a few tricks under supposed “laboratory conditions”? Amidst the throngs of adulation, there are some voices raised that will hopefully give us a moment of pause; one is the book Randi’s Prize by Robert McLuhan which I recently read myself, see: http://www.skeptiko.com/randi-prize-exposed-in-new-book/ This is an excellent critique of the rarely-questioned “Skeptical Norm” that is accepted almost on the nod by millions around the world. If you listen to James Randi you’ll notice that he talks as if he’s the only real Paranormal investigator in the world. He occasionally refers to his peers briefly, but usually only to denounce them in an extremely patronizing manner as naive babes-in-arms who glide around haunted houses like Tolkienian Elves: "Ah, I'll put a camera there!... Ah, I'll put another camera there!... Ah, I'll put a crystal there!" It is he alone whom he regards as a streetwise “lean, mean gangsta”; to me he stinks of a “Hey-man-I’ve-been-there”- Poser, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2008/11/hpanwo-guide-to-being-ive-been-there.html , a bit like Project Avalon’s “Charles”, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2011/03/charles-doing-washing-up.html I think this Randi Bubble needs busting! Let’s see if I can help do it...

Project Alpha was the scheme devised by James Randi in 1981 to expose what he saw as deficiencies in parapsychology investigations. For some reason he seems to enjoy doing tricks to make people look and feel like fools; he says his motives are benevalent, to get people thinking critically about their own beliefs, but are they? I wonder if there's a hint of sadism and intellectual oneupmanship behind his activities. Another example is the Carlos hoax, which starred the actor Jose Alvarez (who just happens to be the cousin of 9/11 Truth campainger Willy Rodriguez), see: http://www.skepdic.com/carlos.html Here’s an official video about Project Alpha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1S5CRcqJQo Randi planted two illusionists in a parapsychology institute to see how far they could get pretending to have real supernatural powers, when all they were doing was stage magic. According to Randi, the scientists investigating them swallowed their claim hook, line and sinker. They declared unequivocally that this was the “real thing”. Then, at the moment the two were presented to the world, they came clean and admitted the whole thing was a hoax. Project Alpha has attained the status of D-Day or Trafalgar in the Skeptic community. However does it deserve to be so? This is what I found on a webpage that has now been removed:

Project Alpha
Today a reader, Travis, asked me about Project Alpha, the famous episode from the early 1980s in which superSkeptic James Randi arranged for two young magicians to infiltrate a parapsychology lab in order to confound the researchers. Over the years, this strange incident has assumed almost legendary proportions in the minds of some Skeptics and reporters, who claim that the researchers were totally fooled. Here, for instance, is the way the story is told in Las Vegas Style magazine, with my comments and corrections in brackets and in bold font:

By 1979 BANACHEK [one of the magicians in question, whose real name is Steve Shaw] was starting to draw national attention as a gifted performer in extra sensory perception crafts. That was also the year that McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft awarded a $500,000 grant to Washington University in St. Louis for the establishment of the McDonnell Laboratory for Psychical Research. [Incorrect - the grant was not bestowed by the corporation, but by James S. McDonnell as a private gift.] The lab was supposed to come up with evidence that things like bending a fork with your thoughts was a real thing. If the idea of spending half a million clams on fork bending seems just a little soft in the head, you're not alone. James Randi was an internationally known magician and an active investigator of paranormal claims when McDonnell-Douglas [sic] made the grant. He decided to send two young illusionists into the MacLab to debunk it. BANACHEK was one of the illusionists.

For three years [he] was subjected to every test the pros could come up with to prove he had authentic psychic powers. He bent things, burned things, moved things and knew things. He passed every test with flying colours [false - see Thalbourne's article, linked below] and at the end of the three year period the McDonnell Laboratory for Psychical Research proudly announced to the scientific community that they had the real thing in the form of BANACHEK [false - no such announcement was made]. OMNI Magazine did a spread on BANACHEK. Discover Magazine said "...his demonstrations were just phenomenal." Even the National Enquirer called him a "Prodigy. Nobody like him in his field."

Mid bow for the McDonnell folks James Randi drops his bomb that BANACHEK had been working for him for the past three years and what's more everything he did was an illusion. Remember? Illusions are ideas creating misleading appearances. And mislead BANACHEK did. You know you have a major coup in your pocket when you sting the National Enquirer. [Really?] The guys at the Laboratory for Psychical [Research] were crushed. [False - they had already suspected Shaw and his partner of fraud, and had dismissed them both more than a year earlier.]

I guess Las Vegas Style subscribes to the motto "print the legend." The actual facts behind this case are thoroughly presented in a paper I found online in PDF (Adobe) form: "Science Versus Showmanship: A History of the Randi Hoax," by Michael A. Thalbourne.

Originally I had thought of summarizing this article, but there's no need to do so because it speaks for itself. Thalbourne, who was a participant in some of the events, writes in a straightforward, engaging style and lays out the key facts and timeline in the clearest possible way.
The case is also covered, in less detail, by John Beloff in Parapsychology: A Concise History.

As both Beloff's and Thalbourne's accounts make clear, there is much less to Project Alpha than its cheerleaders would have us believe. Regardless of what the National Enquirer may have said, the researchers never publicly committed themselves to the view that the phenomena they observed were genuine. They remained properly cautious in their published remarks. Indeed, they privately came to the conclusion that the two test subjects were not worth studying any further, and politely terminated the experiments. Even so, Randi had the chutzpah to hold a press conference claiming that the lab had been successfully duped - a story that is repeated to this day.

To nail down this point, I direct your attention to the appendix that follows the bibliography in Thalbourne's paper, where the published conclusions of the researchers are reproduced. This document is dated September 1, 1981, more than one year before Randi's January, 1983, press conference exposing the hoax. Regarding the test subject Mike Edwards (Shaw's partner in trickery), the researchers write:
The outcome of this research is suggestive of psychokinesis but inconclusive; due to its exploratory nature ... ordinary explanations exist for these effects, given the conditions under which they have been observed. Thus, although several events of interest have transpired, we do not claim that evidence conclusive of "psychic ability" has yet been demonstrated in our research. [Emphasis added] [Thalborne article: http://www.aiprinc.org/para-c05_Thalbourne_1995.pdf Source: http://michaelprescott.typepad.com/michael_prescotts_blog/2007/03/project_alpha.html

A very prominent critic of James Randi, Rupert Sheldrake, who was mysteriously attacked by a man wielding a knife several years ago, has spoken publically about his misgivings to do with Randi here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB3SAD-gHTc . He says unequivocally that Randi is a liar. Not only is his Million Dollar Challenge far from being the bottom line on the issue of the Paranormal, but Randi has misrepresented Sheldrake’s own work. No doubt Randi regards (or says he regards) Sheldrake as being one of these white dress-wearing, wide-eyed flower-children who make up the entire world of Parapsychology, apart from himself.

These critiques and accusations may be true or they may be false; they involve details of investigations and commentaries that I myself have not had a part in. This article is not intended to be a one-sided and unequivocal disparagement of James Randi; I merely wish to provide a leaning-post of balance from the one-sided and unequivocal worship and adoration he has had showered upon him in abundance over his 50 year career of Skeptic debunking. I encourage all HPANWO-readers to research for themselves and make up their own minds.
