Ben Emlyn-Jones at Changing Times

 

I will be speaking at the Changing Times group in a double bill with my friend and comrade Neil Ward. It's called Messages through Time & Space. It is organized by Andy Thomas. I will be doing a presentation on SETI, 3I/Atlas and UFO's. Neil will be addressing the "Dodleston Messages", a possible communication from a man in the past through a computer. The venue is Cyprus Hall, Cyprus Road, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, RH15 8DX. The event is on Tuesday the 19th of May and begins at 8.15 PM. It might be wise to get there a bit earlier. Admission is £8. See: https://www.changingtimes.org.uk/forthcoming-lectures/. (Illustration by Neil Ward.)

Travis Accused Again

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/08/new-travis-walton-hoax-claim.html.
I wonder why it is that claims are always called "revelations" and "confessions" when they do not promote aliens. Travis Walton has once more been accused of hoaxing his UFO abduction experience from a pinewood glade in 1975. This should not be a surprise; accusations against Travis have been going on continuously in one form or another ever since the incident happened. There are probably over a dozen different dirty deeds he has supposedly done. Some of them are contradictory; but in true Orwellian style, the debunkers believe them all. This latest iteration broke the other day and has hit the backslapper-osphere like a spring tide tsunami. Mike Rogers has apparently flip-flopped yet again since withdrawing his 2021 attack, see background link above. This time it is a supposed deathbed confession. It was reported by Steve Pierce, another member of the lumberjack team, who says he was one of last people to talk to Mike before he died. Steve's story is backed up by Mike's daughter Michelle Detras. Mike's words apparently include the sentence, "Travis, your day of reckoning is coming." However, despite two people close to Mike claiming the same thing, Mike has made no official public statement. This is completely different from Walter Haut, for instance, who signed an affidavit over his information to do with the Roswell incident. If Mike Rogers has done something similar, it is being kept confidential. If so, then why? There are more flaws in this testimony. According to Michelle, Mike has confessed to perpetrating further hoaxes; and this is where it gets ridiculous. According to his daughter, Mike also faked the Phoenix Lights and a number of crop circles in England. There is no explanation for how or why Mike Rogers became such a prolific and accomplished UFO conman. All we hear from Michelle is that he constructed the fake Phoenix UFO on a friend's ranch. What, something that big? How does it work? How much did it cost? How did he get away with it? Michelle and Steve have my sympathy for their loss, but what they say makes no sense at all.

Patrick from the Vetted YouTube channel has covered this in detail, and that fits with his new perspective. As HPANWO TV viewers know, I met Patrick at Contact in the Desert last year and we got on well, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/06/ben-in-desert-2.html. I sub to his channel generally enjoy his output, but in the last few months Patrick has become much more cynical and negative in his outlook. I suspect he has been influenced by the community of backslappers surrounding "Tupacabra" and "Red Panda Koala" on Twitter. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijj0OPqMhhE. We seem to be entering a season of skepticism. At the same time as Travis has once more been put in the dock of the social media courthouse, a new film about Bigfoot has premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival. All I know about it is that it's called Capturing Bigfoot and that it takes a highly skeptical position. I'll be sure to watch it when it's on general release. I do not find this latest cycle of anti-Travis Walton assertions at all credible. They supposedly come from somebody who was Travis' brother-in-law, and who had a very rocky relationship with Travis; and has already confessed to publishing a false calumny against Travis just a few years ago. To crown it all we only hear his supposed last words second hand as part of a nonsensical diatribe. It's now been more than fifty years since the incident. There was an event last November to mark the occasion. It seems virtually inevitable that a person who reports a UFO close encounter ends up with their character tarnished. It's as if society has some kind of strange built-in immune system against them. We know that the government find such people very inconvenient and encourages such assaults. Let us recognize this reaction for what it is when it happens; and this latest vilification of Travis has all the classic symptoms.

N-Machine Conclusion

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/07/richplanet-power.html.
Richard D Hall has completed his experiment with the N-Machine he built; thus repeating the study by Bruce De Palma and Adam Trombly. As before, this is a technically heavy episode and I recommend watching it carefully; don't just have it playing in the background. Once again I had to rewind certain segments and watch them more than once. Again Richard tries to make the content as comprehensive as possible to the layman; and he has separated the most specialized aspects for part two. He has made a few modifications to his prototype, replacing the copper disk with a steel one, to give it a higher magnetic field. He also added a faster motor, although this involved enclosing the system in a safety cage in case it exploded. He also had to repair a defect, part of the housing scraping against the shaft. Richard then drew up a graph and, incredibly, it confirms the original study. The output power is indeed greater than the input power. How much greater is an adjustable factor, but even if it were not that wouldn't matter. Just a tiny fraction of overunity is revolutionary no matter how small it is. On a practical level one could, if necessary, set up a power train of any number of units necessary to obtain usable wattage, but as it happens the machine can be made more efficient with a larger disk and/or better brushes with lower resistance. The majority of the internal mechanical resistance of the system comes from the brushes. There are such things as liquid metal contact brushes that would make the machine run far more smoothly. This also has its dangers though because the metal most often used it mercury which is toxic. Unfortunately they're not commercially available. Richard describes how the design was both rejected by scientific journals and suppressed by the government; contradictory positions you might think. Source: https://www.richplanet.net/richp_genre.php?ref=316&part=1. Richard has done this work while under enormous pressure because of his legal situation and deserves to be congratulated, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/07/rdh-lawsuit-mini-portal.html. He hopes to investigate more free energy technology in the future, but he really has already succeeded.

HDA Article 2

 

I recently wrote a film review for The Wow! Signal, the official journal of the Hollywood Disclosure Alliance, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/02/my-hda-guest-article.html. I have now had another review published. It's for an upcoming documentary called Ancient Architects of Orion by Jonathan Womack. I'm very grateful to Jonathan for allowing me to watch a private preview of his new movie. This assignment was something of a challenge. As you can see, I was not impressed at all with the documentary's thesis; but I'm not somebody who enjoys "pwnage", especially when the subject is so obviously a genuine and honest creator. Therefore I thought deeply about how I could present this film in a positive light. Source: https://www.thewowsignal.news/latest-news/ancient-architects-of-orion-documentary-by-jonathan-womack. Many thanks also to The Wow! Signal editor Dan Harary. See here for a HPANWO Radio interview with Dan: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2024/08/hpanwo-show-558-podcast-dan-harary.html.

Louis Theroux- Inside the Manosphere

 

A few years ago the journalist Louis Theroux made a documentary series called Weird Weekends (not to be confused with the conference q.v.) He made it in his own unique gonzo style and injected a lot of humour. He delved into the lives of some awfully strange people, even by my standards; and a few of them were rather sinister. Yet somehow what resulted was dry comedy. I really enjoyed it and have been rewatching many episodes. He has gone downhill in the last few years so my hopes for his new documentary were not high, but I'm pleased to say that with Louis Theroux- Inside the Manosphere he seems to have returned to his traditional style. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms23FeJWvKU. The word "manosphere" has several different meanings, but it generally refers to an outlook on the world from a masculine standpoint and a concern for the welfare and betterment of men and boys. However, there are many different forms that this takes and I was curious to see what Louis made of them. He spends the programme travelling to various places around the world, usually glamourous holiday destinations, and meets up with a number of popular social media influencers, all male and mostly young. They promote self-confidence, healthy living, business success and date coaching. One is known online as "HSTikkyTokky", real name Harrison, who has become a multi-millionaire at the age of twenty-three and lives in a mansion in Marbella with a handful of his mates and a number of young women whose uniform seems to be bikinis. Another is an American called Justin Waller who presents a radio programme about what he sees as male issues. Another is Myron Gaines whose own video streaming show deliberately delves into extreme drama for the sake of attention and therefore money. He invites women into the studio in order to insult them. These ladies, it seems, are willing participants because, despite their humiliation, they achieve fame for being on his show, along with new followers for their OnlyFans sites. At one point Myron is very cruel to an obese girl, abusing her for her weight. I found this upsetting and think it's a pity that content like this is the most lucrative in today's clickbait economy. However, I was already aware of that to some extent, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2018/02/confronting-droike.html. Louis calls this a "hamster wheel" that incentivizes increasingly extreme content. Indeed HS and his friends often go to the extent of livestreaming themselves "happy-slapping" people in the street. Afterwards they confessed to Louis that the whole activity was just about "clip farming". Another pundit called Sneako is quite interested in conspiracy theories, like I am; and some of the others are too. However their beliefs tend to level out at the more immature, finger-pointing and simplistic level that I myself have warned against. I can't go into details on Blogger, but here is a full explanation: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2017/06/jews.html.

One thing all these young men have in common is that they have had difficult childhoods in problem families. HS' father abandoned him as a baby and he was brought up by a single mother who worked extra hard to pay for private education for him. In one video HS meets up with his dad, a man he hardly knows; and it was quite sad to see how he is obviously suffering as a result of this betrayal by the man who should have cared for him, although he tries to hide it with his usual bravado. Justin also had a single mother and had no positive paternal figure when he was growing up. What's more his mother was a criminal who was convicted of arson. All the men involved in the manosphere oppose feminism and use terms like "the Matrix" to describe the most common relationships between men and women. However, at no point in this film does Louis Theroux explore the calmer and more intellectual part of this critique. He does not feature some anti-feminists I consider far more sensible and credible like Paul Elam, Dr Tara Palmatier or Carl Benjamin (also known as "Sargon of Akkad", see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/04/is-sargon-walking-into-trap.html). Louis' exploration of the manosphere was not really an exploration. It was the shallowest of dives into its strawmen, its tabloid sideshow. Despite enjoying Louis' return to his Weird Weekend style I felt that Louis Theroux- Inside the Manosphere was, at best, a lost opportunity, at worst a distortion.

Jury Trial Restriction

 

I often ask myself, who is it I dislike the most in Starmer's gang? Obviously I despise them all; in fact nearly everybody does. They're the most unpopular leaders since King John; but are there any that stand out in their levels of deceit and corruption? I would answer possibly David Lammy, Sir Keir's deputy and Justice Secretary; and it's hard not to put his job title in quotes, especially now. A couple of months ago he entered a bill removing the right to a trial by jury in crown courts. There was a heated debate in the House of Commons about this, with several MP's describing their own experience of being victims of crime; but this backfired because Lammy announced that the purpose of the bill, supposedly, was to reduce the backlog of cases, which number in the tens of thousands; and that without swifter justice more criminals would be out on bail and able to commit further offences. The bill also makes it clear this will only apply to minor charges, ones with a maximum prison sentence of three years... for now! It doesn't say as much, but no doubt this bill will be sold as a "temporary measure", rather like the reforms Adolf Hitler made when he took power in Germany. The bill was passed by a terrifying hunded-and-one votes with an unusually large number of abstentions. Infuriatingly most of its supporters were Scottish Labour members whose constituents won't be affected because Scotland has its own independent legal system. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpw0eg9q7kwo. A few years ago I'd have hoped for the House of Lords to scupper the scheme, but Labour are currently reforming the upper chamber to remove the hereditary peers. This has been justified by appeals to "democracy!", as if Labour cared about that. After all, the hereditary peers are aristocrats appointed by the King and unelected. However, the whole House is unelected anyway; all that will change is that elderly patriotic men raised with an ethos of noblesse oblige, who are needed to keep these selfish career politicians in line, will be replaced by sycophantic party donors and obedient ex-cabinet ministers.

One solution might be for England to have a devolved government. Right now England is one of the few internationally recognized countries without an independent state. In the last few decades Scotland and Northern Ireland have regained theirs while Wales got one for the first time, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/01/visiting-senedd.html. England has been left out of this movement. I am Welsh, but live in England so this affects me directly. We residents of England and Wales have now lost one of our fundamental and essentially human rights, and one of the hallmarks of a civilized nation, the right to be judged by our peers if accused of a crime. Do not think for one moment this is just about "something for now just clearing up the backlog!" It's also not going to stop with three-year charges. It will be adapted and expanded. David Lammy seems to be some kind of demolition man, leaving political rubble in his wake wherever he goes. His last cabinet post was Foreign Secretary and he is most infamous therein for throwing away the Chagos Islands, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/chagossian-repatriation.html. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as prime minister once Keir Stalin is finally thrown out for being too toxic. As Mark Twain once said: "Politicians are like nappies; they have to be changed regularly, and for the same reason." As I've said before, our only hope now is something coming out of left field. I've found that in history it always does.
