The Anomalous Arctic

Something strange is happening in the arctic. The weirdness has occurred in several places, firstly in Canada. After last year's confused and abortive alert into a possible "Roswell" in Canada, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/new-roswell-in-canada.html, I am cautious of all claims like this. However this time it seems there is an official reaction to this incident that is not just on the Wayback machine. The Canadian military is investigating some strange noises that have been heard coming from under the sea in the Fury and Hecla Straight, a narrow stretch of water that lies between Baffin Island and the mainland, near the small and remote town of Igloolik. Maritime reconnaissance aircraft have been scanning the sea, which is covered with ice at this time of year. The sound has been described as a series of "pings", a "hum" or "beep". It is so loud it can be heard by local residents unaided through the hull of a boat.  Whales, seals and other marine creatures often make strange noises, but they are present in the area only in summer. In winter they stay away. The people in the area, who are largely of the Inuit (Eskimo) persuasion, think it might be prospectors from mining companies; which is a concern because none are currently licensed to operate in that area. Alternatively it might be caused by noisemakers left there by Greenpeace to scare animals away from being hunted. Submarines can generate sounds like the ones heard, and strange submarines have been sighted in the area (As well as elsewhere, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/strange-submarines.html). In most fictional movies, submarines are heard to be continuously pinging away with their active sonar, for example see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFa9_TcaWuI. In reality, submarines on covert missions rarely do that. They need to stay undetected and therefore silent. The Canadian government state that so far they have detected no submerged contacts.

This matter is somewhat reminiscent of the "Bloop", see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/the-bloop.html. At the same time, something else weird has been reported on the opposite side of the Arctic Ocean. The Ob is one of the word's mightiest rivers and it empties into the Kara Sea on the north coast of Russia, a place also frozen over at this time of year. A huge number of snowballs have appeared on a beach in the Ob estuary. They are apparently made by an "extremely rare" phenomenon of nature. Some are as big as basketballs. A lot of unexplained events are going on in the frigid apex of our planet right now. I have a feeling somebody will at some point blame it on climate change; and my own views on that subject are here: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/merchants-of-doubt-review.html. The truth may be very different and maybe this time, unlike the Lake Winnipeg story, the trail of evidence will remain strong. In which case it will, by sheer definition, become a USO- Unidentified Submerged Object, case.

Brexit Betrayed

When the Referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union took place on June the 23rd, see background links below, it was called just that; a decision the government agreed to give to the British people on the future of our country. Now, after four months have passed, the authorities are talking about it in retrospect as if it were nothing more than an opinion poll. This is exactly what I predicted. I also predicted that it wouldn't be as simple and blunt as a second referendum, despite the slimy pronouncements of that odious sewer rat Tony Blair, see: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-tony-blair-second-eu-referendum-vote-article-50-latest-a7384411.html. It would be a far craftier manoeuvre. The actual way they've done it is to harness the issue to a supposedly independent campaign group that has "forced the government's hand" via the judiciary. Gina Miller is not a politician or a lawyer. She works in the City as an investment manager and runs several charities. She launched a crowd-funded campaign with a few of her friends called "the People's Challenge" which has won a case against the government in the High Court. The Prime Minister Teresa May, to give her credit where due, wants to trigger Article 50 as soon as possible herself as a result of the referendum result, but this ruling means she can't. Instead Britain can only leave the EU via an act of Parliament. This will take a very long time, probably months. What's more it may well be rejected, if not by the House of Commons then by the House of Lords who are bedecked with Europhiles. Mzzzz Miller and her accomplices have really upset the apple cart here, intentionally. As I said in my most recent previous Brexit article, the time it takes alone could be enough to ruin the entire process and force Britain to stay in the EU. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37857785. This has caused an almighty mess for the government. They now have to consider the option of whether to appeal in the Supreme Court of the UK. If they lose the appeal, or they choose not to; they can try to sort this out quickly with a "substantive motion", a means of fast-tracking the necessary legislation. However, I wouldn't be surprise if they're forced to pass an entire "Article 50 bill"; this is what the claimants already say they want. It could even get as ludicrous as the European Court deciding!... Talk about a conflict of interests. The implications of this ruling are enormous. We could end up with a "half-Brexit" or Brexit with various conditions, as Nigel Farage has commented... no doubt seething at having his retirement foiled a second time. Or it could even roll back the entire matter and keep Britain as it is in the EU, which is what I suspect and fear. Whatever happens, it is going to take a very long time. Teresa May had been hoping to trigger Article 50 next March; now that is out of the question, thanks to the treachery of the claimants, or whoever is pulling their strings. Who knows what else will happen as the cogs of the law slowly grind towards the outcome we're not supposed to reach. This is exactly what I predicted back in June!

US Presidential Election- One Week to Go

A lot has been happening since I last reported on the US presidential election 2016, see background links at the bottom. The latest news has made me reassess the entire situation. When I was a child at school a teacher told us about a country, I think it was in South America, that had been ruled by an oppressive military junta for a long time and then bowed to international pressure and announced that it was going to become a democracy. It held free elections for the first time, yet when the voters got to the polling booths there was only one name on the ballot slip, that of the dictatorial ruler. Sounds like a nightmare? Unfortunately it's real and not the only example for such a fraud; in fact an election is due to take place in just seven days that may well be exactly the same, only far more covert. It's not taking place in South America, but in North America, and the nation going to the polls is the United States of America. I've covered the process of the 2016 US Presidential Election in the background links below, and I must confess it has not worked out as I thought it would. I assumed Donald Trump would go the same way as Bernie Sanders and be manoeuvred out, using various tricks, to make room for a controlled opposition to Hillary Clinton. This hasn't happened... not yet at any rate, and time is running out. My thoughts on this election have put me at odds with much of the rest of the conspirasphere. The prevailing view among the conspiratorial media is that the current US presidential election is no different to any other, in that we see two establishment puppets being put up against each other in a charade so we can vote for one or the other. I don't think that's the case this time. There was certainly an agenda to propose two controlled clones, but this failed. In the background links I explain why I think Trump is simply not meant to be where he is. At the most fundamental level he is not controlled by the powers-that-be. For this to happen in any Illuminati-occupied nation is unusual, but for it to happen in what is still the primary centre of operations for globalist world control is unthinkable. No matter what happens within the next week, there is no doubt something has truly messed up badly in their plans. That can only be good news for us.

I've never seen such a vast chasm between how the mainstream media is covering this election run-up and what is actually happening in people's everyday lives. In terms of energy, activity, public proselytizing through bumper stickers and window signs etc, Trump is clearly way ahead. During the recent vice-presidential tours Mike Pence, Donald Trump's prospective vice-president, spoke to a crowd of two thousand five hundred; many more were waiting outside when the venue was at full capacity. Hillary Clinton's running-mate Tim Kaine cancelled his Florida rally when only thirty-six people turned up... That's a poor turnout for my own zombie lecture! He couldn't let the press reveal that the local electorate were so unenthusiastic, but of course social media these days is substituting the press, see: http://www.bizpacreview.com/2016/10/28/tim-kaine-cant-draw-crowd-cancels-florida-rally-meanwhile-mike-pence-reportedly-packing-house-405569. Yet whatever happens, the mainstream media polling service reports that Hillary has a narrow but decisive lead over her rival. They have said this continuously ever since the two nominees were selected. I've noticed that all major elections in the last few years have been almost always declared 50-50 by the pollsters. Brexit was, as was the last UK general election, the Scottish independence referendum, the previous few presidential ones and some in Austria and other countries. Why is this? Perhaps because it makes it appear more credible if an unpopular outcome suddenly emerges. Imagine if the polls had said 70% of Scots had wanted a YES vote and it still came back NO? There would be a lot of suspicion. I took seriously the possibility of electoral fraud during the UK's EU referendum, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/vote-leave-2-count.html. In Britain the electorate still votes by marking a slip of paper and these slips are counted by hand. Despite this, fraud is still possible. One of the reasons I went to Oxford town hall that night was to see if any "last minute extra ballot boxes" were being dropped off. American federal elections have been modernized. They are now paperless and voters make their choice by pressing buttons on an electronic voting machine. These machines are made by various companies and are designed to be compatible with each other on a national network. The problem with electronic voting is that it is less secure and fraud is far easier. Even Hillary Clinton herself has admitted that the voting machines can be hacked and is worried the Russians might do that to get Trump in, but I think any electronic skulduggery is far more likely to benefit her than her rival. The UK-based company Systematic has designed and built some machines for the American election and they're planned to be used in a number of states that are called "battlegrounds" because there are equal numbers of supporters for both candidates and so their elector could go either way. Systematic's CEO is Mark Malloch-Brown, a former Labour government minister and also holder of senior positions at the World Bank and Commonwealth Office. He was appointed Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations in 2006 and sits on the board of George Soros' Open Society Foundation. George Soros is a long-time political manipulator and a close friend and supporter of Hillary Clinton. He has funded a lot of her campaign. I am not alone in being suspicious of this conflict of interests. There is even a petition to stop Systematic voting machines being used, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3IsUu4gjTI. Several independent programmers have written malware to show that fiddling the ballot by sabotaging the voting machines is not only possible; it's easy.

The Wikileaks emails and the hacker "Guccifer 2.0"also revealed that there was a subversive plot to remove Bernie Sanders from the race, which makes it even more galling that the old fool then went on to endorse Hillary, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/bernie-sanders-turncoat.html. Since then an independent journalist called James O'Keefe has gained even more revelations that the election next week will not be free or fair. He has launched his "Project Veritas Action" to try and raise the public's awareness to the danger. He secretly filmed private conversations with Hillary Clinton campaign contractor officials where they admit that they rig ballots by allowing registered Democratic Party supporters to vote twice and even by stealing the identities of dead people. They organize rented vehicles for these many-time voters to move them from one polling station to another in case anybody recognizes them. They also pay the homeless and psychiatric patients to stir up violent trouble at Trump rallies, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptg19PmIbIk and: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEE8w-v6Gg4j3ze3oX-urEw/feed. Based on all this evidence, this is the only option for those who insist on Hillary Clinton being the new president. They can't win fairly, so they're going to cheat. This makes an even bigger joke out of democracy than it already is anyway. If the American public tolerate this they have to tolerate the fact that USA is a one-party state; and their country is no freer than the junta I learned about at school.

The Wikileaks scandal, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/ufo-disclosure-2016-wikileaks.html, and recent announcement by the FBI that they're continuing their investigation into Hillary Clinton has been another blow to her campaign. Its timing and severity makes it likely that it will be a complete knockout. We don't know the full extent of the FBI's suspicions, but based on the Wikileaks data it may be as severe as a scandal connected to her personal aide Anthony Weiner. Weiner (which is the American name for a Vienna Wurst sausage) and his wife Huma Abedin are close personal friends of the Clintons. Bill Clinton was even best man at their wedding. Weiner is alleged to have been "sexting" (sending erotic mobile phone texts) to an underage girl. There are also clauses in the Wikileaks emails that say in as many words that the Islamic State is being bankrolled by the United States via their clients in Saudi Arabia. An ideal situation would be that this mess-up will be so bad that the establishment candidate fails to get elected. If you'd asked me a month ago I'd have told you it would be impossible. Now I'm not so sure. We have to consider seriously the possibility that Donald Trump might become the forty-fifth President of the United States. Even if he doesn't, Hillary's victory will be so anticlimactic and controversial that her grip on the Oval Office will be feeble and unsustainable. This is an even bigger blow than Brexit and the manipulators are going to pull out all the stops to get Hillary over the finish line. There are far fewer options open to them now then there were in the primaries. If Trump were to have a heart attack or plane crash now, who would believe it? They've already tried various smear campaigns against him that didn't work; if anything they only added to his popularity. One thing they could do is stage some horrific public spectacle and link it to Trump supporters. I've addressed this before, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/the-american-jo-cox.html. In that link I also suggest that the election could be delayed, or even cancelled, by some national emergency; in my view this is another likely outcome. This radio show by former CIA operative Susan Lindauer is essential listening on this subject: http://truthfrequencyradio.com/the-covert-report-with-susan-lindauer-68429/. They could allow the election to go ahead using that straight forward electoral fraud I talked about. However, thanks to O'Keefe and others, this is becoming such a widespread public notion that would even that work? Donald Trump is not an anti-New World Order activist. I'm not saying he's a "good guy" or "on our side". If anything, the best I can say about him is that he's a rather blinkered American nationalist. However it doesn't matter what he stands for of what kind of leader he is. All the matters is that we will have a non-establishment leader of the world's principle Illuminati front. That cannot happen when all is well at the mill. This means I have to raise a question I never dared to dream of before... Is this springtime in Narnia? Not quite the end of the New World Order, but perhaps the beginning of the end? It's far too soon to know. By next week we might have a better idea. Then again we might have to wait a while longer. I'll be writing again about this in the future. Also I discuss more details in this HPANWO Radio show: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/programme-210-us-presidential-election.html.

Helen Duncan Pardon Breakthrough

At Halloween everybody's thoughts automatically move closer to matters of the supernatural. It is apt therefore that a new avenue of progress has opened out in the campaign to pardon Helen Duncan, a Scottish woman convicted of witchcraft in 1944, one of the last people in Britain to be so condemned. See links at the bottom for essential background. Activists such as Margaret Hahn, Helen's granddaughter, hope to use an emerging legal reform to reopen the ill-fated wartime medium's case. "Turing's Law" is a nickname for a proposed piece of legislation that allows criminals to be pardoned when convicted of an offence under a law that is repealed at a later date. It already exists as a common law precedent following the posthumous Royal pardon awarded to Alan Turing in 2013, not to mention the official government apology to him in 2008. Since then thousands of similar lawsuits have begun. The story of Alan Turing is tragic and shameful. Turing was a brilliant pioneer of electronics and artificial intelligence who developed a computer that could decode the famous "ENIGMA" encryption system used by Nazi Germany in World War II. He should have been treated as a hero, but instead he was jailed for "gross indecency". His crime was something considered today to be totally acceptable, even trendy; he was an out-of-the-closet homosexual. He was freed from prison on condition he received "medical procedures" supposedly in an attempt to "turn him straight". The treatment ruined his physical and mental health and he committed suicide in 1954. Thirteen years later in 1967 the "Labouchere Amendment" was repealed and since then Turing's lifestyle would no longer be considered criminal. Turning was just one of many thousands of people who were convicted under Labouchere and the other archaic "sodomy laws", and some are still alive today. The question is, could this same process apply for the Witchcraft Act of 1735? Why not? The passing of the Witchcraft Act by Parliament is considered to be a sign of the rise of Enlightenment thinking in Britain. Following the ordeals and burnings of the superstitious mediaeval millennium, it was by the 18th century politically acceptable to suppose that there were no such things as real witches and therefore what they were doing was a form of fraud. A line taken by today's skeptic movement. So supposedly in order to protect the public, the government took action "...whereby ignorant persons are frequently deluded and defrauded; be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that if any person shall, from and after the said twenty-fourth day of June in this year of Our Lord 1735, pretend to exercise or use any kind of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment, or conjuration, or undertake to tell fortunes, or pretend, from his or her skill or knowledge in any occult or crafty science..." 

Helen Duncan was given a nine month prison sentence in a modern Britain, in a world in which Alan Turing was building computers and you could fly around the world in an aircraft or sail deep beneath the sea in a submarine and we were little more than a decade from rockets into space. Yet the text above was the legal ruling used to prosecute her; written in a Britain where the horse and cart was the pinnacle of technology and you could be hanged for urinating off Westminster Bridge. The Witchcraft Act of 1735 was finally repealed in 1951 and replaced with the Fraudulent Mediums Act of 1951, which was itself repealed in 2008. All previous attempts to pardon Helen have failed, yet with this new change in the law, we have a golden opportunity to try again. Graham Hewitt is helping Margaret and the rest of Helen's family on this quest. He said: "The 'Turing law' has set a precedent for Helen’s pardon to come, and it’s one her family will welcome. The circumstances are almost identical. Like Alan Turing, Helen was convicted under legislation now long repealed. There is a precedent and we are writing to the Scottish Government demanding they do the same... Justice has been a long time coming for Helen." A spokeswoman for the Scottish Government has issued a statement: "Scottish ministers have a power to consider a posthumous pardon under the Royal Prerogative of Mercy. In the event that an application was received on behalf of Helen Duncan, they would give it due consideration." Source: https://www.sundaypost.com/news/will-new-law-clear-name-britains-last-witch/. I really hope they do. If they fail to grant Helen Duncan a pardon this time then they will have to explain why not when the legal conditions are exactly the same for others granted pardons under this precedent. What's more "Turing's Law" will almost certainly be passed in the near future. Then Helen's family will hopefully be able to sue if the government decline to pardon her.

Susan Blackmore confirms MBA

Dr Susan Blackmore is one of the world's top skeptics and she has had a productive career fulfilling that role in the media. As a result she was decorated with the Materialist Bravery Award in 2011, see background links at the bottom. I did dispatch her MBA to her in the post but I never knew if she'd received it. However, I've just found out that she has (Thanks to Sophie the Porters' Poet for the information). Not only has she received it, but she has formally recognized it by adding it to the research topics page on her website, see: http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/Research/near-death%20experiences.htm. She said: "Award: MBA May 2011.  I received in the post a delightful hand-made badge for the Gold standard Materialist Bravery Award, from Mr Dai Andthatsit in Dawkinshire. Apparently I'm so brave that I don't need to believe in life after death. (My opinion has nothing to do with the evidence of course!)" Wear it with pride, Dr Blackmore. You've earned it!

Monster in a Sewer

In 2011 a remarkable piece of footage was released onto LiveLeak. It is made up of clips taken from a remote camera being used by engineers inspecting sewers underneath the streets of Manchester, England. The frames have location stamps of Reyner Street and St James Street in the city centre. The first clip shows an animal of some kind leap across a junction ahead. It's too fast to be examined closely, but it looks too big to be a rat. It is probably bipedal and has a long tail. The camera stops moving, as if the operator is shocked by what he's seen. The second clip is in a different kind of sewer, a more modern one with a circular cross-section, but the same thing happens. The third clip looks normal so I don't know why it has been added to the footage; nevertheless some strange white vapour is blowing through the pipe, a bit like fog. It is the last clip that is the most interesting. It is shot in a 19th century sewer with old brickwork up the walls and a flat top. The camera is stationary on a smooth left bend; then a tall upright being of some kind peeks round. It has two brightly glowing eyes which appear to have internal luminescence; they're not just reflecting the camera's headlight as a cat's eyes would. The camera moves towards the entity and it shrinks back out of sight. The camera stops, as if the operator doesn't want to alarm the beast. A few seconds later the creature returns. This time it stands and stares, exposing more of its body. It is definitely bipedal and has long forelimbs. It appears slightly stooped. It then turns round and vanishes permanently and you can just see its long thin tail before it's gone. Source: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=433_1301659042. The water company for the region around Manchester is called United Utilities and their wastewater network manager Mike Woods issued a statement: "Several of our employees have reported sightings of some kind of animal. We've reviewed the CCTV footage, and it certainly doesn't look like a typical sewer rat. We are hoping that the public can help us. The animal could possibly be a domestic pet or feasibly, an animal which has escaped from the zoo. It seems to be feeding on fat deposits which have built up on the inside of pipes. We're asking the public to look at the footage, and to contact us if they can shed any light on what the creature is, and where it might have come from." The CCTV operator, Ian Appleton, said: "We survey the sewers using hi-tech cameras mounted on small mobile vehicles, like very expensive remote control cars. I was sat in the van looking at the live sewer images on a monitor. I physically jumped when I saw the thing. My first reaction was: 'That's the biggest rat I've ever seen!' Then it stood up on two legs and looked almost simian. I was a bit freaked out. I've been in the business twenty-five years, and it's the most unusual thing I've ever seen down there. All the lads have seen the footage now, and it gets the same reaction every time. You're just waiting for them to jump." The animal has apparently been nicknamed "Messie" by the engineers; presumably this is a play on the words "Nessie" and "mess", because it's a cryptid like the Loch Ness Monster found in a messy sewer. The statement by United Utilities can no longer be found on their website and the only record of it is a handful of media spots like this one, see: http://www.leighjournal.co.uk/news/8946564.SEWER_CREATURE_CAUGHT_ON_CCTV/#.

However, the water company later issued a second press release claiming that the whole matter was a hoax. It was a piece of viral marketing for their campaign to persuade customers to be careful what they flush down drains and toilets. A lot of damage is done to sewers by inappropriate objects being disposed of in them, everything from baby wipes and nappies, cotton buds and many other kinds of household rubbish. These things need to be put in the dustbin, not down the drain. This statement is also unavailable on their house site and can only be found in the media, see: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/business-news/united-utilities-sewer-monster-april-857606. This is a distinct possibility, probably the most likely explanation. It doesn't help that the news broke on April 1st, so if this is really not a hoax then its incredibly bad luck for the witness; personally I'd have waited twenty-four hours before saying a word for that reason alone. On the other hand, could this be another example of a "CTCS- Conveniently Told Confession Story"? See here for background details: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/alex-malarkey-ctcs.html and: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/paranormality-by-prof-richard-wiseman.html. Also, if the creature is a piece of computer generated animation, the company does not attribute the artist who rendered it. Don't they want this work on their CV? If there is some kind of mutant or hybrid living beneath the streets of Manchester then there are many reasons why the authorities might not want the public to know about it. In the event of an information leak, concocting a false hoax story could be a way of dissolving any interest the story could generate. If there is some strange critter making its home in Mancunian effluent, then what is it? The sewer network in large British cities is often very old, being installed mostly during the Victorian era to prevent cholera, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/joseph-bazalgette-memorial-hpanwo.html. Until modern remote CCTV came along, a lot of these passageways have not been seen by human eyes since their construction well over a century ago. It's not inconceivable that this artificial environment has become an unintentional evolutionary hothouse, causing new species to emerge far more radically and quickly than they would in nature. If so then the beast is probably a descendent of the brown rat, the principle large predator in the habitat. It's also highly adaptive and a fast breeder. I've studied other examples of extreme rat mutation in the background links at the bottom. Alternatively it could be an escapee, as the water company suggested; but not from a zoo, from a secret government laboratory like Porton Down or Peasemore. Of course this is a long shot; why shouldn't the water company create a hoax to hammer home the hazards of incorrect use of drains? However, can we trust their word? What is the reputation United Utilities has for honesty? In this lecture: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/richplanet-live-in-london.html, and this film: http://www.richplanet.net/starship_main.php?ref=205&part=1, Richard D Hall claims that United Utilities lied to cover up their own criminal negligence that led to the death of a policeman, many injuries, the loss of hundreds of homes and billions of pounds worth of damage in the 2005 Cumbrian flood. They might even have staged a mass-murder using a mind-controlled Manchurian Candidate-style killer. In my view, it is far too soon to decide for certain that United Utilities' response to the presence of this strange LiveLeak film is sincere. We must also consider the fact that "Messie" is not the only example of weird fauna existing in the dark channels below the city streets. A large mollusc-like organism was spotted by a construction team in Raleigh, North Carolina USA in 2009. This time the company involved maintains that the footage is real. Staff biologists, unnamed of course, claim that it is merely a colony of worms, yet the engineers say they've never seen anything like it in their experience, see: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196884/No-hoax-Video-alien-life-form-sewer-internet-hit.html. A few years ago I read a bloodcurdling pulp horror novel called Slither by John Halkin about a colony of green serpentine creatures, whose origins are never explained, appearing in London's sewers and spreading out across the world. I know it was only a work of fiction, but life imitates art so much that I can't help wondering where authors get their ideas from.
