Article 50- At Last!

It has finally happened. The long drawn out process of denial, disbelief, bargaining, recrimination and heel-dragging and is finally over. On Wednesday the 29th of March 2017, eight months and six days after the LEAVE vote won in that fateful referendum, the Prime Minister Theresa May sent a letter to Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, formally announcing Britain's departure from the European Union in accordance with Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. The letter is positive and it seeks cooperation and friendly relations between the UK and the EU. It addresses many of the concerns people have about the makeup of the future independent Britain; economic, political and social obstacles etc, see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/29_03_17_article50.pdf. What will follow now is a series of negotiations, lasting a maximum of two years, to organize Britain's new relationship to the continent and the rest of the world. For me this is a moment to breathe a huge sigh of relief. A part of me always doubted it could happen and that the manipulators would find some way to wriggle out of it, see background links for more details. The Remoaners have wailed anew with portents of doom, but even they have accepted that it's now too late to turn back. If Godzilla is inevitably coming to chew up our cities and catch fighter jets in his teeth, no nuclear torpedo can stop him. During the Leave campaign Boris Johnson suggested that June the 23rd should be our Independence Day. Perhaps March the 29th could; or maybe we could have two independence days. Either way, on those days every year you will hear, as Ben-Hur said: "A shout of freedom that the world has never heard!" Amazingly I still get asked on that great internet fighting pit, Facebook, why I support Brexit. My reply is always with a gasp of mock-confusion: Would they ask an Irish rebel in 1918, or Gandhi and Nehru in 1947, "but why do you want your country to be free?" (I would have written about this on the day, but I was away at the High Wycombe Paranormal meet-up group).

News from Nowhere by William Morris

I'm reading a lot of utopian fictional literature at the moment; stories set in an imaginary world far better than reality. The word utopia literally means "no place", with a touch of irony. These readings are part of my research for my own new novel, Roswell Revealed in which I have to envisage the world after UFO Disclosure, see: http://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/roswell-revealed-sample-first-chapter.html. News from Nowhere is a book originally serialized in a newspaper in 1890 and was penned by the democratic socialist William Morris. It tells the story of a man who goes to bed one night in at his home in London in the contemporary late nineteenth century and wakes up in a world a hundred and fifty years in the future that is transformed. London has ceased to exist as a big city and is instead a loose collection of settlements surrounded by gardens, farms, forests and fruit trees. A few of the original buildings are there, including the Houses of Parliament, but they are now used as a market for manure (some might argue that's what we use them for in the real world). The first-person narrator describes this future idyll in enormous detail. The houses are well-designed and decorated; the men are all strong and handsome and the women are all beautiful. He falls in love with one of them called Ellen. The people wear colourful clothes and they spend their time making artworks, having social gatherings and engaged in work that is so enjoyable that it, in itself, has become a form of leisure that people actively seek; and they covet it when it's not available to them. The weather is warm and sunny the whole time. He meets an old man who tells him that in the 1950's there was a revolution that destroyed the existing unjust order of capitalist exploitation and replaced it with a society based on stable stateless anarcho-communism. Morris was a friend of Frederick Engels and he knew Karl Marx. News from Nowhere, despite its title being a half-smile to the meaning of utopia, is clearly inspired by The Communist Manifesto. Morris' imagined Marxist paradise is somewhat primitivist. A lot of the industrial technology of the Victorian era has been abandoned and people have returned to farming by hand, for the simple reason that it is more fun. There is an innocence and naivete to the unapologetic and affectionate way Morris portrays his setting. This was a book about socialism written long before the Bolshevik revolution and all the other excesses and atrocities of the twentieth century as people attempted to put Marx' theories into practice. At that time Marxist ideas were unsullied by real world experience. Amazingly there are many similarities between the scenario of News from Nowhere and its antithesis "Galt's Gulch", the imaginary anti-communist and ultra-capitalist idyllic society created by Ayn Rand for her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/the-fountainhead-by-ayn-rand_29.html. One very interesting element of the story is near the end when the characters are taking a trip up the river Thames to a farm in Oxfordshire to join in with a harvest when they pass a cargo barge sailing downstream. The story goes: "Both on this day as well as yesterday we had, as you may think, met and passed and been passed by many craft of one kind and another. The most part of these were being rowed like ourselves, or were sailing, in the sort of way that sailing is managed on the upper reaches of the river; but every now and then we came on barges, laden with hay or other country produce, or carrying bricks, lime, timber, and the like, and these were going on their way without any means of propulsion visible to me; just a man at the tiller, with often a friend or two laughing and talking with him. Dick, seeing on one occasion this day, that I was looking rather hard on one of these, said: 'That is one of our force-barges; it is quite as easy to work vehicles by force by water as by land.' I understood pretty well that these 'force vehicles' had taken the place of our old steam-power carrying; but I took good care not to ask any questions about them, as I knew well enough both that I should never be able to understand how they were worked, and that in attempting to do so I should betray myself, or get into some complication impossible to explain; so I merely said, 'Yes, of course, I understand'." Is he talking about free energy here? That concept is very openly discussed in Atlas Shrugged and by 1890 there may well have been rumours of a cover-up. Because of its age, News from Nowhere is today available in the public domain online, see: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/3261/3261-h/3261-h.htm and as an audiobook, see: https://librivox.org/search?title=News+from+Nowhere&author=Morris&reader=&keywords=&genre_id=0&status=all&project_type=either&recorded_language=&sort_order=catalog_date&search_page=1&search_form=advanced. But it is still in print if you like traditional paperback: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Nowhere-Other-Writings-Penguin-Classics-William-Morris/0140433309.

Debit Cards on St Helena

Despite what you might read in the rather cynical media coverage, progress continues with St Helena Airport. In fact a new company has been established specifically to service St Helena, Atlantic Star Airlines. It currently only operates a single aircraft, but this will be sure to expand when its service proposal is processed, see: http://www.atlanticstarairlines.com/single-post/2017/02/06/Air-Service-Proposal-Submitted-to-St-Helena-Government. They believe that they can overcome the wind shear problem and have carried out a number of calibration flights. April the 18th marks the first anniversary of the first landing by a large jet airliner on St Helena and full commercial operations will soon be running. For a while I've been reporting on how opening St Helena out to the world will inevitably change the island's unique human culture, regardless of the benefits it brings. The signs are already manifesting, such as St Helena's police being trained to use tasers, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/tasers-on-st-helena.html. In December it was casually announced in a notice that a system of debit cards will be introduced by the Bank of St Helena. At the end of a general annual status statement it said: "The remainder of 2016/17 and into 2017/18 is set to be an exciting time for the Bank with the exploration and development of new products and services namely local debit cards and international pre-paid cards. With an ever increasing cashless society around the world, the Bank has taken steps to follow this trend. Local debit cards will reduce the requirement for cash and considerably reduce the number of transfers manually input by tellers. This in turn will reduce operational risk of errors occurring and ultimately reduce employee costs in the longer term." Source, page 16: http://www.sams.sh/sentinel/Sentinel_161222.pdf. The Bank of St Helena turns over about 33 million pounds a year and also operates on Ascension Island (Tristan da Cunha has no need of a branch, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/tristan-da-cunha-st-helena-plus.html). Obviously the use of bank cards is now almost globally universal and there's no justification to actively prevent their use on St Helena; not least because of the benefits they can bring. However, as I have explained many times, there are serious hazards inherent in electronic money relating to privacy and financial independence, for example see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/coins-are-dropped.html. There are no current plans to turn St Helena into a cashless society, but such a move would never be done in a single stage anyway. There are indeed plans to turn other nations cashless, such as Singapore; and, even more worryingly, India, see: http://cashlessindia.gov.in/. India might just be a single country, but it has a huge population; in fact one out of every six people on earth lives in India. If India goes cashless smaller countries will inevitably be sucked in. What chance will poor little St Helena have? Therefore I ask the Saints to think about these issues before agreeing to these proposals. Do your own research and enter into any now innovations with caution.

Space X Going to the Moon

Since its establishment in 2002 the Space X corporation has dreamed big. It is not the first and only astronautics operator in the private sector, but it is definitely the most radical and ambitious. It has gained many contracts to service and supply the International Space Station, but its founder, Elon Musk, is focused on a more distant horizon. Musk has come up on HPANWO before when a driverless car from his Tesla Motors company crashed and killed somebody, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/man-killed-in-driverless-car-crash.html. The South African engineer and entrepreneur is a visionary and an idealist and wants to do more than just send rockets full of cargo a couple of hundred miles up. He has revolutionized space transport by building a reusable rocket stage than can return to earth and land vertically on its launch pad, thus greatly reducing the budget of rocket flights. However even that hasn't sated his thirst for innovation. His next project is for interplanetary missions, the first private aerospace outfit to do so, and he's certainly not doing it by halves. Space X has announced a plan to send a rocket to Mars by 2022 followed soon after by the first manned mission (I refuse to use the politically correct neologism "crewed"). If they accomplish this then they'll have beaten traditional state agencies like NASA. However before even that they have another plan, the most revolutionary act of space tourism in history. Space X has declared that they will be sending two people to the moon by late next year.

Since NASA's Apollo missions between 1968 and 1972 that sent men to the moon... supposedly, no astronaut has flown beyond low earth orbit, or so we've been told. All the world's major space agencies have theoretical plans to return to the moon, but none of these have ever been realized. It is therefore astounding to think two people might be sent back there within twenty-four months. This will be a commercial flight and the two passengers are private citizens, obviously rich ones, paying for their trip themselves. So far they have not been named. They will be trained and assessed for fitness like any other astronaut; and then they will board a capsule at the launch site and take the rocket into space and out of earth orbit. The craft will then circle the moon and return to earth, see: http://www.spacex.com/news/2017/02/27/spacex-send-privately-crewed-dragon-spacecraft-beyond-moon-next-year. Should this mission go ahead it will raise some obvious questions about the reality of the Apollo moon programme. As I've explained before, see the background links below, I am virtually certain that the moon landings were faked, but if Space X does what it says it's going to do, it will prove that manned moon missions are in fact possible with publicly-available technology. Will this then cast doubt on the impossibility of Apollo? Definitely. Alternatively Space X might encounter the same obstacles as NASA, radiation, engineering problems etc, in which case it will have the option either to cancel the project or fake it like NASA did fifty years earlier. It is unlikely Space X would fake anything because there is no political motive to do so, unlike the 1960's during the Cold War and space race. My guess is that they will just let the matter slip away and hope people forget about it. If Space X somehow manages to send a chemical rocket the quarter of a million miles to the earth's natural satellite then one of the first places of which this intrepid pair of lunar tourists will want to take holiday snaps is the Apollo landing sites. If they train their cameras on the locations and see only rocks and dust, how will the authorities handle it? They will probably swear the two crew members to secrecy, or else arrange an "accident" for them on the return journey; or soon after landing. However it gets worse. There is far more than just absent LM descent stages that the tourists will encounter that the government will want to keep quiet; UFO's and the secret bases on the moon etc. No matter what precautions the keepers on these secrets take, the rise of space tourism is going to make celestial confidentiality far more difficult to maintain. Perhaps this democratization of space exploration will be the very catalyst necessary for UFO Disclosure, the revelation of the truth behind the moon landings and the end of the New World Order.

Margaret Hahn on the BBC

My friend the legal campaigner Margaret Hahn has been interviewed on the BBC. She talks about her grandmother Helen Duncan on BBC Radio 5 Live. Margaret is currently touring the UK and working on the book she's writing. The interviewer appeared fairly uninterested in the huge implications of the case and admits at the beginning she only has a rudimentary knowledge of spiritualism; something she "read up on" for the interview, along with everything else she had to learn for her many interviews that day, no doubt. She wrongly states that Helen was charged with fraud; the 1735 Witchcraft Act has nothing to do with fraud. However she does allow Margaret and her fellow guest, her fellow campaigner Graham Hewitt, a fair hearing. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P3DJY2meNM. The message has gone out. As I've said in a previous article, because of the "Turing Law" there are now hopeful legal grounds to have Helen Duncan officially pardoned, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/helen-duncan-pardon-breakthrough.html.

Westminster Attacks

Naturally many people have been asking me to comment on the incident in the heart of London that took place on Wednesday. I made a point of not doing so immediately; not until the initial narrative of the attack had been established and any possible aberrant evidence comes to light as a result. What we've been told: A man called Khalid Masood drove a car along the pavement of Westminster Bridge in London striking multiple pedestrians, including three police officers. One woman jumped off the bridge into the river Thames to escape. She swam to safety. Masood then rammed the railings of the Houses of Parliament and came to a halt. The driver decamped, ran into the forecourt of the Palace and stabbed a policeman to death with a knife. The attack ended when Massood was shot and killed by another policeman. Including the assailant, five people were killed and forty injured. That is the basic outline of the story. It is surprisingly simple. No weapon was involved other than a car and a knife. As soon as the news broke I received this message from a semi-skeptic Facebook friend: "Ben, I'm urging you tonight to please resist the calls of 'false flag'. Please, for me, could you please do that?" I think he means that unconditionally. Therefore no matter how much evidence might emerge that supports this being a false flag, we must still doggedly insist that it is not. Another great example of skeptic anti-logic, see here for details: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/skeptics-who-are-they-why-are-they.html. As it happens, in my opinion, it's still too soon to say for sure. This could be exactly as the mainstream says it is. I know very well real Muslim terrorists do exist; indeed the British government has bred and groomed as many of them as possible in the mega-mosques they've set up and then deliberately stuffed their pulpits with Saudi hate-preachers, see here for details: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/dutch-election.html. Then again, there are already anomalies calling the official narrative into question that must be addressed. The CCTV coverage of London is by far the most extensive and intrusive of any city in the world, yet for some reason Westminster Council decided last September to switch of the CCTV for the entire borough "in order to save money". This means that, conveniently and perhaps predictably, there is no CCTV record of the incident. It echoes the death of Diana in Paris, see: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/westminster-council-agrees-controversial-move-to-turn-off-entire-network-of-cctv-cameras-a3265156.html. The images published by the press are also suspect. There's a strange Jessica Lynch-type story, which Chris Everard has spotted, in which the "heroic MP" Tobias Ellwood battled to save the life of the fallen policeman by giving him first aid while the trained and professional paramedics stood to one side and passively looked on. As you can see, a portable defibrillator, a device that can stimulate your heart to restart once it's stopped, is sitting on the ground in the bottom left of the picture, out of the way and unused; even though Mr Ellwood is clearly carrying out cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on the fallen man, see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/22/hero-mp-parliament-terror-attack-tobias-ellwood-battled-save/. It's too soon to be sure either way, but these facts do not lend credibility to the media's assessment. A friend of mine, Dan Allspark, was caught up in the middle of this event and had to take cover inside Westminster Abbey. He has spoken publicly about his experience and at one point saw an injured child, see (About ten minutes in): http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/programme-230-podcast-ouija.html. Luckily he was not harmed by whatever really did go on last Wednesday afternoon. Whatever is real or not real in this horrific situation, all I can do is give my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those who lost their lives; and wish those injured a speedy and complete recovery.

The Larry Warren Controversy- Part 10

See here for essential background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/the-larry-warren-controversy-part-9.html. Tino (Tiberius Kirk) has made a video featuring an interview he did with me giving my side of the story within the Larry Warren controversy and my own experience of being part of it. It's called Truth Rising- Time for Disclosure.
