Conspiracy Theorists more Sane than Average

Dr Karen Douglas is a research psychologist whom I've come across before; she's been studying "conspiracy theories in society", see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/british-humanist-association-conspiracy.html (I shall use the term "conspiracy theorist" for convenience in this article; I know not everybody likes it. I don't mind it, even though it is of course a term that could be applied to me). In 2013, she and her team put together a new study which showed, from her own perspective, surprising results- that conspiracy theorists tend to be more vocal and also more reasonable than non-conspiracy theorists. She used a case study of the comments of 9/11 news articles. It turns out that a significant majority of comments were pro-conspiracy meaning that no matter what the opinion polls say, the social media dialogue on the subject has overwhelmingly turned to the idea of an inside job. What's more the pro-conspiracy commenters were calmer, more rational and less inclined to descend into rhetoric, personal hostility and bluster. Indeed the supporters of the official story are the ones who have begun to sound like a group of angry outcasts. Even more interesting, the conspiracy theorist commenters were more likely to meta-analyze 9/11, to place it into a larger context by including parallels with the JFK Assassination and other world-changing events. Official story-believers tended to avoid that and focused purely on 9/11 as a singular and unconnected crime, see: http://themindunleashed.org/2014/10/scientific-study-reveals-conspiracy-theorists-sane.html. This is great news. I gave Dr Douglas some stick at the BHA conference, but I have to praise her intellectual honesty this time. I must say that in my own experience of dealing with anti-conspiracy detractors this news is welcome, but not unexpected.

Chemtrail Hoaxer Threatened

Chris Bovey is a conspiratorial activist from Devon whom I've met several times; I've come to like and respect him. He has helped organize Ian R Crane's AV conferences, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/shift-2-with-ian-r-crane.html. Unusually though, he doesn't believe chemtrails are real. I've looked into both sides of the subject and I disagree with him completely; I think chemtrails are very real indeed. However I don't have a problem with him over that. If I rejected everybody who disagreed with my views I'd be a pretty lonely person, in fact I'd virtually be a hermit. A few weeks ago Chris was on a plane flying from Buenos Aires in Argentina to London, England when the aircraft had to make an emergency landing. It came down at an airport in Brazil, but before it did it had to jettison some of its fuel. I only recently found this out when talking to an aviation engineer; when aeroplanes take off sometimes they're too heavy to land straight away because of the weight of all the fuel on board. This is not a problem on a longhaul flight, like the one Chris was taking, because by the time they reach their destination most of their fuel load will have been used up and the aircraft will be light enough to land. However if the aircraft has to land short due to unforeseen circumstances then the pilots have to dump some of their fuel; it's a waste, but there's no other way. Chris was in a seat where he had a good view of this operation and he filmed it. The plane landed safely and nobody was hurt. While waiting for the replacement flight Chris decided to post the film he'd shot online see:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8ccsh6XND0. He pretended not to know what it was and asked for an opinion from the conspiratorial community. He says his motivations were innocent and light-hearted, and he didn't intend the trick to go as far as it did. Within a few hours his post had gone viral and it had half a million views with comments claiming that this was "proof of chemtrails!" Chris was very amused and decided to write another post claiming that he'd been arrested at London's Heathrow Airport and that they'd confiscated his mobile phone, so it was just as well he'd uploaded it to the net beforehand. According to Chris a lot of people believed this too. Chris was then invited onto the Richie Allen Show on Volcania Radio where he confessed, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=138nGp5QkZA. Chris was essentially pulling a "Carlos", a bit like this one that was luckily exposed before it began, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/warning-ufo-hoax-coming-soon.html.

It's true unfortunately that a lot of people did believe Chris Bovey's hoax without question, but not everybody. I saw the video on Facebook before Chris came clean and liked it because it was interesting to see, but I didn't comment. Maybe I should have because I honestly tell you that I did wonder if it was just a fuel dump. I did see a few comments along those lines too. Unlike James Randi and his Carlos hoax, I don't think Chris made the video with malicious intentions. It does us no harm at all to think more critically and maybe Chris has done us a favour, whether or not you think chemtrails are real. As Richie says in the radio show above, this has no bearing at all over whether chemtrails are real or not, despite what Chris says. Chris is not completely alone; in fact the late great Jerry E Smith also denied the existence of chemtrails. The only really objectionable part of this story was the way Chris was treated in the aftermath of his confession. He received "vulgar abuse" including threats to rape him. He was called a shill and a government informer; not terribly original that one. This kind of behaviour is extremely counter-productive and those who engage in cowardly cyberbullying should be ashamed of themselves. I know that the conspiratorial community does have a thug element; I remember Charlie Veitch changing his mind about 9/11 after his foolish decision to take part in a BBC documentary about the attacks. He received a mountain of hateful abuse as a result. I was one of voices appealing for calm. As much as I disagree with Charlie, I don't think he deserved that, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/charlie-veitch-911-u-turn.html. I hope that the tide turns for Chris as well and the trolls find another hole to crawl into very soon.

Rape-aXe

A medical technician is South Africa has invented a device called the Rape-aXe which is intended to protect women from being raped. It is a hard plastic sheath that a woman can insert into her vagina like a tampon. During sex when a man pushes his penis into her vagina he will also push it into the sheath, and that's where the fun begins. The inside of the device has barbs that tear the flesh of his penis; it's designed to cling on painfully and it cannot be removed without medical assistance, see: http://www.antirape.co.za/. A good idea you might think, "the Rape-aXe defends women from rape!" Not necessarily. The Rape-aXe is just a weapon, and like most weapons it is morally neutral. It can be used for the perfectly legitimate purpose of self-defence, or it can be used to initiate an attack, including an unprovoked attack, against a man who is doing no harm at all. However when I made this point on the social media where I discovered the Rape-aXe I was responded to with scorn and disdain. The supporters of the Rape-aXe showed no concern at all for my misgivings, and sadly some people seemed quite gleeful about them. I explained to a friend of mine, a woman I'll call "Nancy", that this meant that all men could be targeted by the Rape-aXe, including me, regardless of whether or not we personally had hurt a woman. She replied "Good! Now YOU know how it feels!" She gave a litany of the risks and adversity women have to face in life, and at the end of this she said: "But this is not about you personally, Ben. I know you're a good guy." I was dumbfounded and dismayed. Nancy was actually happy that I might be in danger, even though at the end she paradoxically admitted that I am innocent and didn't deserve to be harmed. Harmed very badly perhaps because any injury to the penis is very serious because of its high blood flow. It bleeds more than other organs and could even cause death from exsanguination. What's wrong with women protecting themselves in other ways by learning self defence or using pepper spray? I'm all in favour of the US Constitutional right to bear arms; why not let women carry guns in their handbags? How effective is the Rape-aXe as a defensive weapon compared to those others? I can't help but sense that the attraction for this device is primarily symbolic- it attacks the male genitals and so is an attack against manhood. No wonder it appeals to feminists.

It was very strange and very upsetting because I've known Nancy a long time; we live close to each other and have met on several occasions. We're good friends and she always treats me with warmth and respect... except now. Her hostility towards me comes from the abuse of women by men in society; for this reason my own abuse had to be celebrated because I am a man, and it doesn't matter whether I'm personally guilty or not. Women are being harmed by men, and this justifies her harming me, albeit just socially. I think that this is mind-control, a kind I have written about before, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/revenge.html. The way Nancy behaved is a perfect example. She transformed in front of my eyes with the abruptness of the killer in The Manchurian Candidate. One moment she was normal, my good buddy; and then, in an instant, there was a battle line between us and I was her sworn enemy. After a moment she snapped back to normal again. Even more alarming was that in a way I felt myself change too. I ceased to be me, as I sense my own personal identity; I became a nameless faceless man who was all men, a microcosm of half the human beings on Earth, a component in a purely political dynamic. An cipher of hatred for all women. This is how feminism has messed with our minds. Somebody very observantly called feminism "racism for the rich" and this is true because it tends to be a vice of middle class liberals. These are people who have rejected racial, religious and ethnic bigotry, yet the rhetoric of some feminists is indistinguishable from that of the Nazi's or Ku Klux Klan; you just substitute "men" for "Jews" or "blacks". Women's rights is sometimes a very reasonable and urgent cause, but I don't think modern feminism has anything to do with women's rights. Its true purpose is to mess with our heads, to generate malice and unnecessary conflict, to divide-and-rule by turning one half of humanity against the other. It engenders hatred and irrationality in women; and also guilt self-hatred and thoughtcrime among men. I've lost friends before for saying that and I'll probably lose a few more now, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/a-friend-to-all.html. But there is hope, the female conscience is growing and a new group called Women Against Feminism has been founded, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/women-against-feminism.html.

Ben Emlyn-Jones on Enemy Within Radio 14

I have been interviewed again on Enemy Within Radio with Thomas Barnes and Tommy Woodgate, see: http://www.spreaker.com/user/enemywithinradio/enemy-within-radio-live-98?autoplay=1.

I appear throughout the entire programme. Later on we were joined by a man from the USA called Willy. Subjects discussed include: the Ebola crisis, free energy, the origins and workings of the universe, coincidence and synchronicity, and much much more. See here for my previous appearance on Enemy Within Radio: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/ben-emlyn-jones-on-enemy-within-radio-10.html.

Don Philips and Steve Mera Hangout 2

I have hosted a second hangout with the paranormal investigators Don Philips and Steve Mera about the new TV programme they're working on together, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPnbFoz1RkI.

Don and Steve provide a report on their first session of production for their new TV show Phenomena. Steve talks about how he is supervising Don's research, observing his use of electronic sound recorders to capture EVP- the electronic voice phenomenon (Don terms this AVP- actual voice phenomenon). Steve is trained in scientific parapsychology and will say so without hesitation if he suspects that there is any sign of error or deception on Don's part. Watch this space for further hangouts with me, Don and Steve.

God Particle Doomsday

That wheelchair-bound Cassandra, Stephen Hawking, has yet again foretold the end of the world; in fact this time it's not only the world that's on the block, but the entire universe. In the foreword to a new book by the astronomer and rock star Brian May, Prof. Hawking writes about a new and unsettling discovery to do with the Higgs Boson, the so-called "God particle". The research done into the Higgs Boson has revealed that the cosmos is in an unstable equilibrium, a bit like a pencil balanced on its point, and that if one of them lost that balance it would instantly topple down into a new energy level; this could happen, theoretically, if the particle were subjected to a powerful nuclear force. Unfortunately, because the energy level of the Higgs is one of the foundation stones of the universe's physical structure, this would cause a chain reaction that would spread to all the other particle and it could end up in "vacuum decay". A huge bubble of void would immediately form around the location of the first Higgs Boson to collapse and this bubble would expand outwards at the speed of light until the entire universe was engulfed. This catastrophe to end all catastrophes could happen at any time, anywhere, we could do absolutely nothing to stop it, and we would have no advanced warning of the edge of the bubble approaching the Earth, see: http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/508102/End-of-the-world-Stephen-Hawking-God-particle-Higgs-boson-destroy-universe. There's a newly diagnosed psychological condition called "Cosmophobia", the irrational fear that the universe is dangerous and will destroy you. It's not irrational at all, there are many natural forces in outer space that could kill all life on Earth and crush the entire planet with the ease and impunity of a boot on a beetle- comets, supernovae, gamma ray bursts, solar flares etc. But should we really be concerned? Well, yes and no.

All this inevitably leads me to consider what I've said before about the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland, see background links at the bottom. Since it was first designed and built in the 1980's questions have been raised concerning its safety. The nuclear physicist Walter L Wagner has been speaking out about the supposed dangers of particle accelerators for many years. He believes that the high energy collisions of protons will inevitably produce mini black holes which could coalesce into a full size black hole that would engulf the Earth; Alternatively the collisions could produce "strangelets", a different kind of matter that has the power to convert normal matter it comes into contact with into a copy of itself; thus starting a downward spiral that could result in the Earth mutating into a "strange star", see: http://www.lhcdefense.org/. CERN denies all this and its defenders naturally include another rock star-scientist, that smiling Simeon of the small screen, Prof. Brian Cox, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shGI-kpnMgY. I believe that Cox is being groomed to play a completely new and unique role in the media, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/prof-brian-cox-watch-this-space.html. If the LHC is indeed dangerous then could it be possible that there are people behind the creation of it, and other particle accelerators, who know this and are still building them? If so why? Do they not care, or is it possible that they want to destroy the Earth? In the background articles below I pose the possibility that there are elements of the Illuminati that know that they've lost the battle to build the New World Order. They are acutely aware that free humanity is going to prevent them completing their "Great Work of Ages" and the "sheeple" that they've looked down upon with such contempt for millennia are going to defeat them. The spiritual energies in the world and rising conspiratorial awareness are going to make their goal unattainable. Because of the extremely arrogant and spiteful mindset of these entities I can well imagine that at some point they might decide to pull what I call a "Götterdammerung manoeuvre"; this is a kind of dog-in-the-manger, scorched earth policy, writ large. If they know that they can't have the Earth then they'll drag it down with them into Hades rather than let free people have it. How do I know this? I don't for sure, but I know the reptilian consciousness, I've heard how a crocodile cornered by others with its captured prey will toss it away into a river to be lost to them all, because it knows that its rivals are about to steal it. Also CERN has a very unusual statue in its forecourt, that of the Hindu God Shiva; isn't that a bit of an odd emblem to put outside a scientific institution, see background links below? As for the dangers of destabilizing the Higgs Boson, could the LHC, and its proposed follow up colliders, the Very Large Hadron Collider and the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, be a doomsday weapon, a detonator to trigger the unbalancing the Higgs and begin the vacuum decay? Stephen Hawking says that to do this artificially would require a proton beam with the power of a hundred billion giga electron volts- GeV. The LHC at full throttle can yield 14 GeV. Hawking says that a collider big enough would need to be over the size of the Earth and he quips that "such a project would not be funded in the present economic climate". But could the Illuminati be constructing such a massive instrument on another planet, maybe below the clouds of Jupiter, or in space near a star light-years away? If so, what can we do about it? Well I don't want to give you sleepless nights, dear HPANWO-readers. Like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, I believe there are forces for good as well as evil at work in this world. I know there's no such thing as a messiah to sit around waiting for and that we humans are masters of our own destiny; it is up to ourselves to create a better world. Nevertheless, if there is some horrible atrocity awaiting us that is beyond our control, somebody will step in and lend a hand. Indeed, could this by why the LHC suffered from mysterious technical problems a few years ago?

Ebola hits the West

The current outbreak of Ebola is the worst in history, officially it's no longer just an outbreak; because of the levels of infection and the way it's settled into the area it has hit, it has been officially designated an epidemic. With the ease and volume of international travel these days sooner or later it was bound to escape from its heartland in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and a few other parts of western Africa, and make its way around the world. So far foreign nationals who caught the disease in Africa have been taken home for treatment in their homelands, like the USA and Britain, but now we have the first case of an actual infection in the West, a nurse on a containment ward at Madrid in Spain, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-29543924. Teresa Romero somehow contracted the virus while treating a pair of missionaries who caught the illness. She now has the full blown disease and people she has been in contact with are being quarantined. The authorities want to destroy her dog and there's a campaign to save him. The hospitals in Africa treating Ebola patients have been given over £100 million by the World Health Organization, but they still lack methods and experience in the field of containment. Hospitals in the West are better equipped. I myself took part in quarentine drills when I was a hospital porter. I've never had to deal with a real situation like an Ebola outbreak, but I'm trained in the use of the personal protective clothing like these suits, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-29518703. It turns out that Nurse Romero might have accidentally touched the bare skin of her face with her gloves while removing her protective suit. This could be the reason why she caught the illness. Actually we can only hope it's that simple because there are a few stories going round claiming that this new Ebola epidemic might be far worse than the previous ones because this is a brand new strain of the virus which transmits itself far more easily than previous ones; for example see: http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/pigs-monkeys-ebola-goes-airborne-112112. This is a revision on what I wrote in the background article below and it's extremely worrying because we've been told so far by the experts that Ebola can only be caught contagiously by direct contact with body fluids. For the virus to go airborne would put it in the same infection league as influenza and colds, but far more serious of course. As I've said in the background article below, I suspect that Ebola might be a biological warfare weapon, in which case, if a new more virulent breed of Ebola virus exists, did it originate in the deep forests of darkest Africa, or was it bred in a laboratory at Porton Down and Fort Detrick?

It feels a bit like we're entering a scenario that resembles that of the 1995 film Outbreak, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj9SUJdpJS4. This film reveals that one of the consequences of a major spreading of a deadly disease would be that the government would have to call a national emergency which could involve martial law. In fact it's just been announced that David Cameron is sending a naval auxiliary hospital ship and 750 British troops to the Ebola ridden nations of western Africa to assist in containing the illness, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29542129. It is the perfect situation for anybody in government who might be plotting to overthrow free, democratic rule and replace it with a police state. At present the only treatment for Ebola is to keep the patient well hydrated and fed, and hope that the disease passes. With the best care they have roughly a 50% chance of survival; without it the death toll can be as high as 80 to 90%. There is no vaccine available, but guess what? The pharmaceutical companies are working on one, see: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/07/health/ebola-vaccine-ethics/. At the moment the government is having trouble promoting vaccines like MMR and the flu jab. As I relate in the background link below, I agree with Dr Len Horowitz that vaccines would make the perfect delivery system for a biological weapon. The uptake might be questionable for something that could keep you in bed for a few days, but who's going to say no to the prospect of safety from a haemorrhagic fever that kills you from internal bleeding and organ failure? We must be on our guard in case this is the ultimate agenda behind the Ebola epidemic.
