Lawn Mandela

 
The Mandela Effect is most famous for large scale changes that affect many people all over the world, such as film titles and song lyrics etc; but it also operates on a small scale, a personal level. Personal Mandelas are far more difficult to prove because they're easier to dismiss as conflation. One person can suffer from errors of memory, it's true; but it's less likely if a million people suffer the exact same error. However, more and more people are reporting these strange "errors of memory" about elements of their own lives, unique to their own lived experience, where they shouldn't happen. I've just had an example of this myself. The photo above was taken in a garden of an old lady whose lawn I regularly mow as one of my jobs. When I turned up to do it a few days ago I remarked on the new detached stone path she had laid that crossed the lawn, as you can see. She looked at me with a confused frown and answered: "What new path? That's always been there." When I examined the path more closely I saw it had obviously been installed a long time ago. The stones had settled into the soil and there were grass plants very close to it. Despite this I distinctly remember mowing that lawn many times previously and there being no path. I have been doing this job for over a year now. My experience is impossible to prove, but the fact that more and more people are reporting discrepancies like mine leads me to think something real is going on. Is it to do with CERN or the breakdown of the fabric of the universe post-2012? I don't know. There is an effect so it must have a cause. We just have not yet identified it yet.

There Will Be No Draft

 
With all this talk of global conflict many people are asking if there will be a draft, that is the legal forcing of men into military service. In the event of a major war, many nations have introduced a draft, also called conscription. Some have it in peacetime too as a condition of citizenship. In a few nations the draft is so socially institutional that they effectively have a "citizen army", such as Israel and Switzerland. In my country we have had no such policy since 1960, but what would happen if it were to be reintroduced? If the government were to say the bureaucratic equivalent of "Go and fight the Russians or we'll put you in jail!" A large number of men, including me would say, to quote Muhammed Ali "I'd rather go to jail." This would not always be motivated by simple fear. I personally would do it because of principle. I would never kill my European brothers just because a corrupt prime minister tells me to for a Deep State globalist agenda. However, that's not going to happen. What will happen instead is the media will fill up with a particular kind of message, one that sometimes even appears now. You'll see military men being interviewed in the news. They will all be in dress uniform and be the ultimate in perfection, handsome, youthful, sophisticated etc. Usually the interviewer will be a young attractive female who will be visibly affected by his presence; she'll be blushing, her knees will be trembling etc. At the same time there will be a plot in the soap operas in which one of the young male characters will be a conscientious objector. He will be a huge blob of ugly jelly in frilly knickers and high heels who is driven completely by cowardice and selfishness. At no time will any of these characters express any moral qualms about the war. This will be the modern equivalent of "white feathering". This was a method used in the Great War and I describe it in my serial The Obscurati Chronicles which is set in that historical era: Robin wandered slowly along the bustling streets... He noticed some strange activity a dozen yards away. A group of three women were standing in the centre of the square where the paths intersected. They were all young, pretty and well dressed. They had sackcloth bags with them and Robin wondered what was in them, but he soon found out. He watched a man walked towards them, as hundreds of people were on that busy Monday lunchtime. However, this man was different. He was clearly young, in his early twenties, and was not dressed in a military uniform. One of the women approached him and reached into her bag. She withdrew big white feather, one that must have come from a large bird like a turkey or swan. She stepped into his path and offered it to him. "This is for you, coward!" she sneered.
    The man recoiled as if he had been struck. He stared at the woman and at the feather she was holding out. The colour drained from his face... He reached out his trembling hand and took the feather. He looked as if he would faint. He staggered away from the woman and continued in the direction he had been walking, but his vigour was gone. He stumbled and his head was bowed. The woman laughed contemptuously at his departing slumped back. Robin knew what this spectacle meant from one of the last honest and in-depth conversations he had ever had with his brother. He remembered it well. It took place just over a year ago in December 1916 when they had both been Christmas shopping with the family in Leicester and witnessed a similar spectacle. "They know how to hit us where it hurts." growled Will. "Those women are all employed by the War Office. When the war broke out nobody in Britain was alive to remember what war was really like. There hadn't been one for a century. All they had to go on were those ridiculous paintings in the National Gallery. You know the ones; of clean-shaven men in freshly laundered uniforms on horseback trampling over the vanquished subhumans of Napoleon's army. That nonsense is what persuaded the first wave to sign up. Then they found themselves in trenches half filled with water and ice! Rats nibbling at their toes! Then somebody a mile away pulls a lever and rips them into mincemeat with an explosive shell. Either that or he burns their skin off and turns their eyes into pools of blood with poison gas! Word got home about this and the queues at the recruitment office got shorter. Hence those women!... Source: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-obscurati-chronicles-sample-first.html. And this trick will be used again. The programming will be that men who refuse to fight will be sexually untouchable, they will be repulsive to women. I am willing to bet that a large proportion of the men who would respond to the draft with "put me in jail!" will cave in at that point. The government employ some of the world's most expert psychologists; I knew one of them and experienced this evil firsthand, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/10/am-i-gate-child.html. When you have such a powerful ability to control the population's behaviour through their thoughts and emotions, who needs a draft?

There's Something in Roswell

 
Saxon have written a song about the Roswell incident. Anybody considerably younger than me will wonder what on earth I'm talking about so I'll explain. Saxon are a heavy metal band from the north of England who were quite successful when I was a child. They were rather like the American "glam metal" bands and there is no more recent equivalent of their style today. I was never a fan, I must say. Despite their gothic look, their composition and lyrics were a bit simplistic, rather like football chants; but they had a few good songs. I haven't heard about them for ages and I had no idea they were still going; in fact I had no idea the members were even still alive. Actually I assumed they'd all died years ago from drug overdoses and gonorrhoea; but no. They are alive and well and still playing. Last year they did a two-part international tour. It's really quite amusing to see these seventy-five year old guys in leathers with long white hair prancing around on stage with guitars. Anyway, the reason I mention Saxon is that, to their great credit, they've written a song about the Roswell incident. It's called There's Something in Roswell and its lyrics tell the basic history of the 1947 UFO crash. The video shows the band on stage interspersed with recreated images associated with Roswell. It's on their latest album Hell, Fire and Damnation. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-xgVaQX4Hk. Popular music, like mainstream cinema, literature and art, is an excellent means of communication, especially of touchy subjects. It has always served as a conduit of thought in societies where free speech is suppressed. That's why I do it too, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2016/08/roswell-rising-is-here.html.

Last Ever QED

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/10/qed-conference-2024.html.
QED- Question Explore Discover have announced their 2025 event with a bit of a sad surprise. This year will be the last ever conference. This news came without warning and the Merseyside Skeptics Society and Manchester Skeptics Society, the duo who organize them, have provided no explanation for this. They simply included the statement: "All good things must come to an end, and after fifteen years of running the UK's largest celebration of science, reason and critical thinking, 2025 will see the final QED conference." They add that they want to go down in a blaze of glory by making this last conference the best ever. Source: https://qedcon.org. There has been much discussion in the Skeptisphere about the demise of QED. People are shocked and disappointed, but there is a lot of gratitude and nostalgia too. It seems the decision was made privately among the organizers for reasons spoken about only among them. I've known many conferences that go into decline, both skepper and woo-woo; but usually there is some gossip and hinting beforehand of problems such as financial obstacles, organizational challenges, personal disputes among the crew, Covid recovery issues or simple loss of energy. This means that when the axe falls few people feel surprised. This is different; it came out of the blue. Last year's conference was the first one I've ever been too, but I could tell there was a lot of passion and popularity there, and there is an entire culture and community associated with QED. Possibly more information will come to light at the event itself. Will I go again? Maybe. I enjoyed the 2024 one, see link above. Whether I do or not will probably depend on money. I'm returning to Contact in the Desert this year, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/06/ben-in-desert.html, and that is not cheap; especially if, like me, you have to travel a long way to get there. I will know more where I stand when I get home from that. The fact that this has happened so suddenly means the QED community still exists and therefore there is a vacuum that will probably be filled with a new replacement conference. The burgeoning of Contact was partly fuelled by the mothballing of the "Laughlin conference", the International UFO Congress. If a "QED 2.0" emerges it will probably do so quickly, within a year or so. I'm curious to wait and see what develops.
