Kony 2012 and Ugandan Oil

(Thanks to Frank Willis and the YouTube user “The Jungle Surfer” for bringing this to my attention.)

There have been times when I’ve made predictions that have come true. This is not because I’m psychic, but because I have a basic understanding of geopolitics. I made a prediction several years ago that the conflict between Britain and Argentina over the Falkland Islands would kick off again, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2010/03/falklands-war-ii.html My evidence?: That a new oilfield had been found there. The other day I was watching some YouTube videos about the hunt for the alleged Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brqIDv16Cgw. This has recently been made into a feature-length documentary Kony 2012. See: http://www.kony2012.com/

Joseph Kony was officially indicted back in 2005 and has been a wanted man way back since 1987! Why now suddenly has all this effort been put in to finding him and bringing him to justice? Could the recently expended Ugandan oil industry be a reason? See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtCoH3RqBWo It seems that trouble always kicks off wherever somebody strikes oil. Along with the Falklands example there’s Darfur too.

The Worst TV Documentary Ever!

Watch Equinox- The Secrets of the Psychics here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoQ3TztOYt8

I think that this TV programme: Equinox- The Secrets of the Psychics, is probably the worst TV documentary I have ever seen. It is a feature-length special produced by the long-running science series on Channel 4 Equinox; which is similar in style to the BBC’s Horizon (Of which I’ve written a lot about, EG: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2007/12/more-horizon-doomsday-mongering.html) Equinox have actually brought out a few pretty good programmes over the years. This one for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vghjGwvmrqE What possessed them to produce The Secrets of the Psychics!? Not only produce it as part of their regular weekly one-hour repertoire, but as a feature-length special! I think my comment in the box (“benthejrporter”) says it all: “Thanks for uploading this. It was extremely educational to watch and I'd recommend it to everybody. It's not often I get to examine such a monumental piece of unprofessional, one-sided crap as this programme! Equinox used to make some brilliant documentaries; shame I have this one very black mark to give them.”

This programme is not only completely and shamelessly one-sided in its narrative; in the fictionalized scenes of psychical research experiments it portrays the scientists conducting the laboratory tests as elderly buffoons whose eyes goggle in astonishment at the antics of Eusapia Palladino and the others; with the notable exception of Harry Houdini, who is far more heroic in character (See here for more details about Houdini: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2009/05/houdini-code.html). In truth the actual papers relating to those experiments could tell a very different story; I recommend the book Randi’s Prize by Robert McLuhan for more details: http://www.skeptiko.com/randi-prize-exposed-in-new-book/ . What bothers me most about all this is that I get the sense that the programme’s producers are not even aware of their mistake. It’s as if they have never even considered that there’s another side to the story to tell!

Bust Spooky College!

This is an interesting video; it’s an outtake from Richard Dawkins’ Skeptical polemic TV documentary, The Enemies of Reason, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xswt8B8-UTM (The broadcast cut of Enemies of Reason can be watched here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7218293233140975017# ). Derren Brown is a famous face in the media and on stage because he has become a very successful illusionist and hypnotist. Some of his work is important from a HPANWO-esque perspective because of his revelations about neuro-linguistic programming, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kycWYd5iOn0&feature=sh_e_top&list=SL . However his other forte is less well-known: that of a Skeptic. He has made a few Skeptic programmes too, like Seance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCfYwVVPMcg .

In the extended interview with Dawkins, from which the scene in Enemies of Reason comes from, we see Brown talking about training colleges for psychics (Part 1 from 8.31). The best known of these is the Arthur Findlay “Spooky” College in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, see: http://www.arthurfindlaycollege.org/ . According to Derren Brown there are no such things as real psychics and they’re all fake. Spiritualism only began in the 19th Century and was soon found to be a con; Spiritualists are actually just stage psychics like Brown who fool their audience into thinking that they’re really psychic by using the same conjuring tricks that he does. But there’s one very obvious course this area of research could take that neither Dawkins nor Brown suggests: Why not infiltrate the Arthur Findlay College? Get in there with a hidden camera and expose it to public ridicule! It shouldn’t be hard, after all Watchdog does it to dodgy plumbers and crooked insurance salesmen all the time. They should get a reporter to go undercover as a student at the college pretending to have burgeoning psychic powers and want to learn how to use them. Then, at some point the tutor will lock the door and shut the curtains and say in a low voice: “Listen! Don’t tell anybody about this, but all this is bullshit OK? There’s no such thing as psychic powers and you’re all kidding yourselves... now follow me.” Then he pulls a book off a shelf, presses a hidden button and a piece of wood paneling slides back revealing a secret passageway. He leads the students down a dusty flight of stairs to a secret cellar where they all learn how to do Cold Reading and exploit the Barnum Effect etc. The Skeppers are always scoffing at conspiracy theories, well this is their conspiracy theory! Let’s see if it stands up to the evidence!

I’m sure you’ve worked out that what I've written above is a parody. I don’t believe that all psychics are fake at all. We’ve only ever had a single whistle-blower, M Lamar Keene, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2008/08/psychic-mafia-by-m-lamar-keene.html when really, in a conspiracy which would have to be as top-heavy as the Skeptics claim, we ought to have them popping out of the woodwork everywhere; see here for more details: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2011/04/paranormality-by-prof-richard-wiseman.html

CDC Zombie Warning

This is crazy! I didn’t have to look far to find ample material for an update to my previous article; this one is a continuation of that: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2012/02/real-zombies-in-bristol.html . Like the previous one, I had to pinch myself when I saw this: http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp . The latest publicized plans for how to deal with a zombie apocalypse scenario have been drawn up by the Centre for Disease Control, an infamous organization, as you’ll be well aware of if you’ve read my report on Dr Len Horowitz’ speech, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2009/06/alternative-view-ii-part-1.html . This is one of those few occasions, not boasting, when I’m completely baffled; what on Earth is going on here?

The motives for this publication are not entirely clear; it seems that they’ve said something extraordinary and included advice as if it is a possible real event. There are a few sentences in which they also remember to include other obviously very real threats like earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes etc, like in the paragraph entitled Better Safe than Sorry, but then they go back to discussing zombies as a very feasible danger. This document is dated May the 16th 2011 and was written by the CDC’s director and head of the Public Health Preparedness and Response agency, a Rear Admiral Dr Ali S Khan. Here’s Dr Khan’s blog: http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/ . The notion that the CDC, or Bristol City Council, which is discussed in The Guardian article that is dated just two months later, July 2011, (See linked HPANWO Voice article above) is taking the threat of beasts from horror movies seriously is grotesque in the extreme, but if there is no real zombie threat then why the articles and contingency plans for zombie attacks? Is this some kind of psychological warfare action against the people? If so then it’s a very peculiar one that I can’t see working. It’s too extreme, too outlandish; nearly everybody will just laugh at it. As opposed to the much more convincing, but almost as false, threat of Islamic terrorism. Why not just put out the usual bumf about there being Al Qaeda operatives under all our beds brandishing Mr Sheen cans full of bubonic plague?

The other possibility is that there really is such a thing as zombies and there’s a risk they might really appear. How likely is that? I would like to say: Not very, but can I? I’m interested in the Occult and I’ve learned that there are rites and rituals that supposedly have the power to reanimate a dead body; there’s a long indigenous tradition in Africa of a similar kind that was exported to the West via the Slave Trade in the form of Haitian Voodoo. The word “zombie” derives from an African language. The movies usually explain the emergence of zombies in Supernatural terms, but a few are Sci-fi based and in those the zombies are usually people afflicted by a devastating virus or designer poison of some kind. There have been a lot of zombie movies in the cinema lately; most of the ones I list in the first article are films made in the last ten years; we’ve had the remake of George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (very inferior to the original I think). Could it be possible that the Illuminati really can turn people into zombies, either by magickal or technological means? It’s one of the most frightening ideas I’ve come up with!

Real Zombies in Bristol

When I first saw this article I checked the date to make sure it was not April the 1st! The Guardian has discovered through the Freedom-of-Information Act that Bristol City Council has drawn up contingency plans for how to handle an attack by zombies. What you thought was merely the stuff of horror movies is being taken seriously by the Government. See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/jul/07/when-zombies-attack-bristol-city-council-undead-invasion . It has even pinpointed certain districts of the city like Totterdown, Shirehampton and Whitchurch Park as high-risk for a potential emerging outbreak. It also claims that it detected “false-positives” in the Stokes Croft area, meaning the threat apprently already exists! The Council gives no reason for why it thinks this way or why it has chosen to carry out this planning programme, but as you can see, a lot of the article has been abridged for “reasons of national security!” My first thought, after I’d eliminated the joke hypothesis, was that the Council was using some kind of code. “Zombie” might refer to social disorder, as Stokes Croft was recently the scene of a riot. However, and I’ve said this before regarding UFO theories: why would the Council use a codeword that was bound to attract even more attention, as well as incredulity, to conceal something? It’s like a spy wearing a clown costume. This whole affair reminds me a bit of the time firemen in America were instructed on how to handle UFO incidents, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2008/02/ufo-handbook-for-firemen.html

The legend of zombies date back long before the age of modern horror movies; they emerged out of ancient African magickal rites connected to the artificial reanimation of human corpses. This influenced horror fiction and produced such books and films as I Am Legend, Night of the Living Dead and its sequels, and the Resident Evil series. What happens in these stories is that the corpses of the recently deceased are reanimated with an artificial inhuman consciousness through some supernatural means, or science-fictional in the case of I Am Legend. These undead corpses run amock killing and injuring living humans. Usually injured humans become zombies themselves as a result of the injury, as if there’s an infectious element to the zombie state. The idea that the zombie archetype might be based on truth in the prehistoric and extra-historic past is something I do take seriously; after all there are similar themes to Western Occult traditions. However, the idea that the possibility exists of real zombies emerging into the modern world is one I find outrageous and I consider this news story to be extremely bizarre and implausible, even by my standards! Nevertheless I am duty-bound to report any updates and I will.

Illuminati Market

If you ever see some of David Icke's live shows, you'll hear him talk about grey suits and luminous jackets. "Laws are made by men in grey suits and enforced by men in luminous jackets." I was walking through a village market in Bingham, Nottinghamshire when I came across a stall selling luminous jackets. Luckily I didn't see any grey suits for sale, otherwise I might suspect that this was an Illuminati market!

Olympic Terror Drill

(Thanks to my friend and fellow-researcher Heidi King for discovering this.)

The Police, Emergency Services and Armed Forces are carrying out a terrorist drill in London designed to train and test themselves over how they'd react to a terrorist attack during the upcoming London 2012 Olympics. See: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pre-olympic-anti-terror-drill-held-033155709.html Seeing as the 7/7 attacks and the 9/11 attacks both took place during mock-terror drills I reccomend that we tell as many people as we can about this, and stay out of central London while this operation is going on.

(Addendum 23/2/12) The actual dates for the drill have not been published yet. Thanks to Lemonpie on the HPANWO Forum for beinging this to my attention.
