Archer's Goon

 

I'm not sure what kind of browsing hole I was going down the other day to end up with me watching Archer's Goon. This is a Children's BBC serial from the early '90's. I remember watching the first episode or two on TV at the time. It is based on a 1984 children and young adult's novel by Diana Wynne Jones. It centres on an average middle class family from a suburban town who come home one day to find a dishevelled and aggressive young man sitting in their kitchen. He identifies himself only as "Goon" and says he has come at the bidding of somebody called "Archer", hence the title. It turns out that Quentin, the family's father played by Roger Lloyd-Pack of Only Fools and Horses fame, is involved in some underhand tax evasion scam. He has to produce short passages of words for the local mayor and he is rewarded with full council tax relief. The reason for them wanting these words is not fully explained in the TV series; it might be in the book which I have never read. Quentin's son Howard tries to get to the bottom of the mystery and discovers that the town is ruled by some kind of secret organization run by a group of siblings who control every aspect of the town's government and civil works. They are known only by single names, mostly surnames. They have underground facilities beneath the town's banks, libraries and garages. They travel through sewers or openly on motorbikes. They can control people's electrical appliances in their own homes and use light fittings as hidden microphones to eavesdrop. Amazingly their power extends to the supernatural, the ability to control time and space itself. It's a remarkable story. Of course there are plenty of stories about conspiracies involving secret societies controlling institutions behind the scenes, but this is the first one I've ever heard of that is produced for younger viewers. Unfortunately the author died in 2011, but she has been compared to JK Rowling. There is an Illuminati-type plot in some of the Harry Potter books. These days, in this age of censorship and paranoia, you probably would not find mainstream media making a TV programme like this for kids. The book is still available though, see: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47521.Archer_s_Goon. See here for all six episodes on a playlist. The quality is not the best; it's an old home VHS recording, but it is watchable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKlXKjosfFg&list=PLmAyiwH3LpisjfEMJvsykKmcXDtVcLImQ.

Planet X Archives

 

I have created a page on Archive.org of all the shows I did on Planet X Radio, see: https://archive.org/details/planetxarchives.
This was a joint online and on air radio station based in Liverpool that I was a part of from 2013 to 2014. I did thirty-two programmes in all; the twenty-three of my own programme on Planet Xtra, The Ben Emlyn-Jones Show, and also the times I was featured on the main Planet X programme. Those were very happy days. Dedicated to the loving memory of Ayem, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/12/ayem-dies.html.

Orwell on Lewis

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/07/that-hideous-strength.html.
As soon as I heard that George Orwell had written a review of That Hideous Strength by CS Lewis I braced myself. This would probably be both enthralling and dismaying. It represents the meeting of minds between two of the greatest authors and educators in the country at that time, but they had very different worldviews. I assumed there would be little common ground between them. In fact Orwell begins his appraisal with the words: "On the whole, novels are better when there are no miracles in them." This sentence was exactly what I expected, but then he immediately proceeds to add that some books are worthwhile wherein the supernatural does "play a part." He then comes full circle and says he still wishes that the "magical" element had been left out, but I don't think you can really do that. The whole point of the story is that good and evil have a spiritual source. Orwell however seems to be separating the story in his mind between the elements he likes and the elements he objects to and fails to understand that both are connected. He does accept the technocratic portent of doom quite perceptively though, probably because the review was published in the Manchester Evening News just a week after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. He ends the review with kind words though. Source: https://www.lewisiana.nl/orwell/. Orwell's own classic satire Animal Farm had also just hit the shelves which would certainly have put him in a good mood; otherwise might he'd have been more critical? I still do wonder if Lewis influenced Orwell in some way. I've come across an article by somebody who also asks that, see: https://apilgriminnarnia.com/2015/08/19/1984ths/. I am pleased to say though that generally Orwell is better disposed towards CS Lewis than I expected. Maybe this is because of the times I live in. Orwell was an atheo-materialist and I am of a more recent generation that knows such concepts primarily through the "New Atheists" and the skeptic movement, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2021/08/skeptics-portal.html. However, such things did not really exist in the early 20th century when the two men wrote. One can imagine what Richard Dawkins makes of That Hideous Strength; although I doubt he has read it. There were atheists back then, of course, there always has been, but they were mostly of a different kind; gentler, more open-minded and with a sense of patriotism. In Down and Out in Paris and London Orwell writes very fondly of a church adjoining a homeless shelter that provides meals and cups of tea for him and his fellow residents, and encourages them to sing hymns. I think he was something of a cultural Christian, although nobody used that term in those days. I don't know specifically if George Orwell and CS Lewis ever met, but if they did, imagine the conversation they would have had.

Imminent by Luis Elizondo

 

The book everybody is talking about has finally been launched. Imminent- Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFO's by Luis Elizondo is unfortunately only available in three formats: hardback, ebook and audio. My preferred format, paperback, is not yet available; so I settled for Amazon Kindle (something I did in protest, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/roald-dahl-memory-holed.html). I was determined not to read any reviews or watch any commentary about the book until I'd read it all myself. All of us have biases, especially those who claim to be free of bias, but I like to control my own as much as possible. Now I have finished the book I am free to look at others' feedback. I will provide my own detailed commentary at a later date, see below. I can say for now that it was extraordinarily interesting to see the process I have been following from the perspective of one of the leading figures on the inside. The reaction from the rest of the UFO community is interesting, yet predictable. The positive figures are as positive as I expected them to be while the skeptics are busily unpicking it. The backslappers have descended into the most copious group masturbation session over it, as I knew they would; gloating about how they and they alone are superior enough to uncover "psyops!" and that "Elizondo is a shill!" and how everybody except them is "naive!" I can't really say anything about that that Cristina Gomez has not already put a lot better, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/this-is-lue.html. In due course I will go into more details about my own assessment of this book and that of other critics on a HPANWO TV livestream, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/08/lue-elizondos-book-livestream.html. Suffice to say Elizondo's book is definitely worth getting. Even if you don't believe everything in it, if you are interested in UFO's you should still find it interesting.

Shroud of Turin Proved Real?

 

The Shroud of Turin is one of the most remarkable objects in the world. It is a piece of flax linen fourteen feet long and three and a half feet wide. It was originally carbon dated to the 13th to 14th century. Fragments of pollen trapped in the fabric match species native to the Holy Land indicating it comes from there. It was owned by a number of French aristocrats and kept in a series of churches until it was badly burned by fire. Soon after that, in 1578, it was moved to the royal chapel of the cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, Italy, hence its name; where it has been kept ever since. What makes the Shroud amazing it that it has on it an image of a tall man with a beard and long hair. The man has wounds on his wrists and forehead and these correspond with what looks like bloodstains on the cloth. The front and back on the man are visible vertically on the cloth indicating that it was wrapped around him from head to toe; this is the traditional way to shroud a corpse in Jewish funeral rites. Obviously this man matches the biblical description of Jesus Christ and in fact the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke describe how, after his crucifixion, Joseph of Aramathea officiated the burial of Jesus and wrapped his body in a shroud. The Shroud's fame only really took off in 1898 when it was photographed and the negative revealed a positive image of the man, meaning that the image itself was a photographic negative. Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, of Rennes le Chateau fame, claim that it is an unrecorded experiment in early photography by Leonardo da Vinci. They say that the face of the man resembles portraits of Leo indicating that he modelled himself. Although Leonardo was undoubtedly a very clever man who was interested in optics, there is no trace of conventional photographic chemicals on the shroud. The oldest known permanent photograph was taken over three hundred years later in 1826. The original carbon dating done in 1988 has always been called into question and now a new test has been done using "WAXS", wide-angle X-ray scattering. This reveals the age of the cellulose in the linen. The cloth is actually much older than was previously thought, about two thousand years old; so it was made at the time of Christ. Of course just because the cloth is old enough to be Jesus' shroud doesn't mean necessarily that it is. Source: https://metro.co.uk/2024/08/20/scientists-analysing-cloth-jesus-buried-in-make-huge-breakthrough-21454792/. New analysis on the marks thought to be bloodstains also supports the authenticity of the Shroud. They have chemicals in them matching those of blood from somebody who died of shock and trauma, which was the cause of death from crucifixion. According to the Gospels Jesus' received wounds where the man in the image has them. The forehead ones were caused by the crown of thorns put on his head as mockery for him being declared "King of Jews". Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13765919/shroud-turin-jesus-cloth-confirms-biblical-story.html.
 
When I brought this up on Facebook somebody replied that it had to be fake because the image was that of a white man. This is despite the fact it shows no skin colour; the long hair and beard match the traditional form of Jesus in the ecclesiastical art of Europe. These pictures also often show Jesus with pale skin. Of course Jesus would not have looked like that. Racially he was the same as the indigenous population of the region today, the Palestinians and the Sephardic Jews. In other words he would have been brown with shorter black hair. My correspondent showed me some old Egyptian Coptic pictures of Jesus and they show him this way. However it could be that Jesus styled his hair and beard to make himself look more Greek or Roman. That might have given him some status the same way that modern British men drive a particular car. I'm not sure about the Shroud of Turin. It remains enigmatic and fascinating. One thing's for sure, there are only two possibilities. Either it is one of the most extraordinary and unusual works of art and/or technology every devised; or it is the most incredible holy relic the world has ever seen. Both possibilities are exhilarating.

The Empire Strikes Back

 

Something almost unbelievable has happened in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Ukrainian troops have invaded Russia. On the 6th of August they sent troops into the Kursk oblast, a border region to the north of Ukraine. This is the first time Russian territory has been invaded since Germany's Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Unfortunately there is very little reliable news about what's going on. As has always been the case in this war, speculation is reported as fact and you'll hear that this is both an embarrassing kick in the teeth for "Puteler" and also a terrible blunder by Zelensky and his globalist backers that the Russians have already successfully repelled. We'll have to wait for more computer game clips to get some better information. The question is, why have they done this? Is it to cause a diversion from the Donbass? Is it the start of a more long term strategy of attrition? How significant has Russia's response been? Are they trying to provoke Russia? Are they trying to manipulate their Western allies into an all out attack on Russia? They may be rushing things along before Trump gets in in November. Kursk is far less well defended than Donbass. This could be a ploy to force negotiations. Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/how-russia-looked-wrong-way-ukraine-invaded-2024-08-17/. I wonder if it's a coincidence that this has happened at the same time that attention has focused on the destroyed Nord Stream pipelines, see here for background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/09/nord-stream-usa-prime-suspect.html. It seems that once again conspiracy theorists have been proven right. New evidence has just emerged that the Zelensky regime in Kyiv masterminded the operation with the collusion of their globalist supporters. It was supposedly carried out by a private contractor. Source: https://www.allsides.com/news/2024-08-15-0620/ukraine-war-drunken-evening-rented-yacht-real-story-nord-stream-pipeline. This would make Nord Stream a strategic false flag attack by Ukraine to force the hand of its allies whom it considers clients. And sod the frozen German pensioners! This should be the biggest news story of the Ukraine war so far, but will it become so? This Ukraine saga has taken another twist; how will it develop next?

Bob Lazar Movie Fan Trailer

 

There is a large amount of documentary material about Bob Lazar, numerous videos and books dating back almost thirty-five years. Lazar has written his own book, see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dreamland-Bob-Lazar/dp/0578437058. I myself have also covered the recent biopic by Jeremy Corbell, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/12/bob-lazar-area-51-and-flying-saucers.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2018/12/bob-lazar-movie-livestream.html. What we have yet to see is a fictionalized feature film. When you think about it, that is a curious oversight. Surely the interest exists for such a production to be a box office smash hit. Successful films have been made about other rogue insiders like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. I'm not the only one this has occurred to because somebody on YouTube has created a fan trailer. It is what a trailer for a film about Bob Lazar might look like. It consists of some originals mixed with documentary fictionalizations; also library footage of JANET aeroplanes and desert landscapes. There is also some CGI imagery. It is very well edited. When I first saw it I thought there really was a Bob Lazar movie coming out soon. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRE7BJTQm3w. I do hope somebody does make a fictional film about Bob Lazar. In the comments section viewers are debating which actor should play Bob. I thought maybe Kevin Bacon when he was younger, like he looked in Flatliners or Footloose. Realistically, Cillian Murphy looks right and is close to the correct age right now. As for writers and directors; I think the Wakowskis could do a good job, or maybe one of the more arty types like Denis Villeneuve and Christopher Nolan. I would love to see Vin Diesel play Dennis Mariani.

Nick K on the RDH Trial

 

Dr Nick Kollerstrom has done his own report on the trial of Richard D Hall. He addresses the subject in his own inimitable style, referencing other reviews such as my own and Iain Davies'; and includes his personal analysis and commentary. Source: https://terroronthetube.co.uk/2024/07/30/the-trial-of-richard-d-hall/. Iain has written his own book about the Manchester Arena and it is endorsed by Richard, see: https://iaindavis.com. I congratulate both these gentlemen on publishing this material because it is making the public more aware of the major flaws in the official story of the Manchester incident. The comments under mainstream news spots are also encouraging. Reality is something with a power of its own. One day nobody will be in any doubt. We will all be owed huge apologies, none more so than Richard.

New Stock Market Crash

 

There has been a stock market crash. It's not being reported very widely in mainstream news, but it has been described as one of the worst ever, in terms of wealth destruction. The losses last week, culminating in a dramatic slump on Monday, are estimated to be 3.8 trillion dollars US. NASDAQ, the largest Wall Street market, dropped over a thousand points, something that's never happened before in its fifty-five year history. The tech sector seems to be the worst hit with the Silicon Valley giants dropping like stones; Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook) and Apple. I hope readers don't own shares in them! How did this happen? Fingers are pointing at Japan; everybody needs a scapegoat. I'm waiting for Russia to be accused as usual at some point. The Nikkei, the Japanese stock market index, reports that their own markets rose 11% and this caused the instability that led to the Wall Street and City crash. The solution will be immediately offered by the government, of course. They will introduce some kind of emergency monetarist policy involving shifting the interest rates etc. Source: https://apnews.com/article/stocks-markets-nikkei-economy-c6240977e9482bf7207abc53b2a11e58. Dan from the Lotus Eaters says the main problem is that the government is trying to debase currencies in order to ease their national debts. You might argue that such a trick would not work because all the banks have to do is charge them more interest or allow inflation; but those levels are government controlled. What would you do if you could control the interest on your own debt?... Exactly! Government meddling with currency values is the cause of this kind of market instability. He believes this is not a serious crash and the markets will stabilize soon. Source: https://odysee.com/@lotuseaters_com:1/market-implosion!!:4.
 
Styx is less optimistic. He is concerned that this could be the start of a category A economic crisis. Source: https://odysee.com/@Styxhexenhammer666:2/a-world-recession-may-be-beginning:2 and: https://odysee.com/@Styxhexenhammer666:2/the-world-economy-seems-to-be-teetering:7. What does this mean for people who, like me, own no stocks or shares and live by simply selling our labour? It could be bad news if what happened on Monday really is the herald of a global recession. Economic slumps are always a terrible thing for the lowest earners, but in this case it would be hitting us while we're down. The economy has not had the time or energy to grow much since it was carpet bombed by the pandemic restrictions. Prices and bills are still high; wages are still comparatively low. Despite this gloomy prediction, there are also strong signs that the world is improving. The powers-that-were are losing control, which is one of the reasons they are resorting to such risky crises like the aforementioned pandemic. It looks increasingly likely that Trump will be re-elected in November and the European mainland is moving towards populism. Trump will reduce government spending and general economic regulation. He is backed up by Millei in Argentina and Sigathusdottir in Iceland. Hopefully the penny will drop that whenever an economic problem occurs, turning to the parasitic and controlling state and begging them for help is far from the ideal solution.

Another Third Rail EVP

 

In 2022 I reported on how our very own HPANWO Radio was affected by the electronic voice phenomenon. In episode 126 of Third Rail Radio an example suddenly appeared on the recording, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/10/evp-on-third-rail.html. I had it analyzed by a friend of mine who is an audio engineer in the world of cinema and he concluded that a part of it was something strange, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/04/third-rail-evp-update.html. I came up with another example on HPANWO TV, but that mysteriously vanished from the recording once it was uploaded, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/hpanwo-tv-evp.html. Now I have discovered another example. It is also on Third Rail and, interestingly, it is a few weeks earlier than the original, in programme 121, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2022/06/third-rail-radio-programme-121.html (If you don't want to sign up for a Spreaker account you can listen or download it on the Archive.org link). This time I do not remember hearing anything while I was recording with Trevor. The only reason I spotted it was because I was reviewing that show for another unrelated reason. There is more than one example on the track this time. Ironically, the part of the show affected most is where we discuss the strange case of a young Mexican girl who has her imaginary friend recorded on a telephone call. The EVP's appear at 1:01:40, 1:06:14, 1:15:06, 1:18:00 and 1:26:47. I've found one example earlier in the show and I'll keep searching for more. The nature of these sound anomalies and the recording conditions are similar to the original in Programme 126. Because we have a larger data set this time we can perhaps find out more. For instance, in only one of the six instances are Trevor and I both talking together, so it is unlikely to be a case of microphone gain or feedback. The examples are all only a handful of seconds long and take the form of a highly distorted voice, in some cases it is almost masked and no vowels can be heard, only consonants and noise. I hear no intelligible words at all. Unlike the HPANWO TV example, it is impossible to say what kind of voice it is. I don't think it sounds like my own or Trevor's, but I can't be totally sure because the quality is too low. We will probably never find out completely because one thing my friend who did the analysis said was, always keep the original recording; in this case a file from the Skype house recorder and the backup free stereo recorder. The programme was produced so long ago that I have disposed of them. However, if there is any new information I will post an update.
