Runaway Horses

 

Yesterday the news was dominated by a story that looked on the surface apocalyptic. Horses were spotted galloping through the streets of London, dodging pedestrians and colliding with vehicles. Five horses altogether were loose, but the story focused on two of them, a black and white one; although the white was clearly badly injured and bleeding profusely because it has been struck by a double-decker bus. I don't know what the horses' names are, but no doubt somebody has nicknamed them "Famine" and "War". Of course red horses don't exist, but the poor white horse looks half red because of its bleeding. Some people related it to another cataclysmic source; a scene from the zombie flick 28 Days Later, a film I've only seen part of and disliked. Everybody wondered where on earth the horses could have come from and quickly the answer was announced. They belong to the Household Cavalry, a corps made up of the Army regiments the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. They are among the ceremonial troops commonly seen marching in London for the tourists and the Royal Family. Of course, nobody takes horses onto a battlefield anymore, but they are kept for the sake of pomp and tradition. They are highly trained and it is unusual for them to behave like this. Apparently the horses were part of a parade rehearsal near Victoria Station when noises from a neighbouring building site frightened them. They immediately threw their riders and bolted. They were eventually captured and returned to their stables at the Hyde Park Barracks. They are being treated by a vet while their riders are in hospital with injuries that have been described as "not life-threatening". Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de3ubIcoqWQ. So, all's well that ends well I suppose. It does feel like there might be some predictive programming here. We'll see. I'm actually relieved that the police didn't shoot the horses this time. We know from the experience of the Merseyside white stag that the police have become very trigger-happy lately with innocent beings. No doubt they'd have mumbled some platitudes about "public safety", but thankfully it never came to that.

"Scanning" the River

I took a dog for a walk today and we went on our usual route that runs beside the river Isis, what we in Oxford call the Thames. When we arrived I got a bit of a shock. A section of the towpath had been closed by the police, or at least I assume they were police because of their uniform; but they could have been somebody else in disguise. One of them was standing by a lock where I usually join the Thames Path and he said: "Could you go that way instead please, sir." He pointed to the old stone bridge. "We're just doing some scanning." He didn't explain what he meant by scanning. I crossed over the bridge and saw a big police warning sign announcing that the path was closed; another identical sign had been set up on the path about a hundred yards away downstream. A group of three or four other men in police uniforms were operating some kind of machine raised on a tripod. There is a patch of woodland right beside the lock and a muddy track runs through it; therefore I was able to double back to where the cordon was, hidden by the trees. It was there that I took this series of photographs.

The edge of the police cordon.

Policemen, or what looks like them, on an operation beside the river Isis (Thames) in Oxford.

The machine they were using for what they called "scanning". Do any readers recognize this? If so please let me know in the comments.

While I was walking through the woods close to where the scanner was I came across several dead animals, two rats and a squirrel. It is unusual to see that many corpses together in such a small forest. They did not look like recent deaths though, so I'm not saying whatever the scanning machine was killed them. If so I would have fled the location out of fear for my own health and that of the dog. There were also a large number of animal bones. The dog picked up a section of jawbone from what looked like a deer and, as usual, I had a bit of trouble persuading him to put it down. There was nothing else out of the ordinary at the location. I'm not sure what was going on; except a few months ago the police, definitely the real police this time, shut that same stretch of the Thames Path to perform a reconstruction while investigating an accident in which a pedestrian was killed by a speeding cyclist, see: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23679085.oxford-cyclist-accused-thames-towpath-death-court/. I don't know if there's a connection. There has been nothing in the news about today's goings on. I'll be walking the same route tomorrow at about the same time of day so if anything else is untoward I will report on it.

Rain in Dubai

 

The United Arab Emirates is a desert country which receives very little rain. It has risen steadily over the last few decades, but still on average less than five inches falls a year. As a result there are no rivers and no need for drains or gutters etc to disperse rainwater. Then suddenly ten inches falls within hours; it has caused a flash flood of biblical proportions known as the 2024 greater Persian Gulf floods. The city of Dubai has a global reputation for being some kind of urban theme park. It includes the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and many others that are nearly as big. It is a checkerboard of shopping malls, luxury hotels and mansions. These concrete marvels have all been inundated. Four people have drowned and millions of dollars worth of damage has been done. The airport has had to close and residents have been evacuated from their homes. Obviously the media is blaming "Climate Change!" What's weird is that a video appeared a few weeks earlier which received almost no attention at all, but since the flood it has gone viral. In it a young man in traditional Emirati dress explains how rain in Dubai is created artificially through cloud seeding. This is when chemicals are added to the atmosphere, usually dumped from an aircraft, to make rain clouds form. Source: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C37uSSbIrCw/. This is not a secret or uncommon practice. Fire-fighters use it to extinguish forest fires and it is sometimes used at the Winter Olympics to increase snowfall. It has been used as a weapon of war, for example during Project Popeye. See here for details: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/01/storm-o-pocalypse-livestream.html. This leads inevitably to the question of whether the floods in the Emirates were caused by this method. Did they overdo the cloud seeding by accident? In that case the authorities should face massive lawsuits. Or was it deliberate? If so why? Eco-terrorism? Or has somebody organized some kind of monstrous insurance fraud? England, my own country, has been beset these last few weeks by some of the worst chemtrailing I've ever seen. It has been accompanied by one of the coldest and wettest springs on record. What plans do the geoengineers have for our future weather?

Smoking Ban Insanity

 

MP's have backed a plan to "encourage" people to give up smoking by making it illegal below a certain age. That law already exists, you might say, because it is in fact a crime to buy tobacco products under the age of eighteen, but the government want to change it so that this age limit rises by one year per calendar year. So next year the minimum smoking age will be nineteen and in 2026 it will be twenty etc. The result will be that anybody born after 2009 will never be able to smoke legally for their entire lives. Obviously this means in a few decades nobody will be able to buy cigarettes and tobacco will effectively become a prohibited drug. Other countries are following suite, such as New Zealand, Portugal and (predictably) Canada. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68825322. This is a very stupid law, playing devil's advocate, because the government are destroying a massive revenue stream. Smoking materials are very heavily taxed, over 40% in some cases. They generate billions of pounds annually for the exchequer. On an ethical level, they justify it by saying they want to eliminate the unhealthiest everyday practice in the world. About 80,000 people a year die from illnesses caused by smoking. Everybody knows how bad smoking is for our health. Schoolchildren have to watch "love your lungs" videos, every packet of cigarettes has a warning label on it so big it almost covers the whole pack. The problem is that nobody forces us to take up smoking. It is a decision we make as adults; as I said, under-eighteens cannot buy cigarettes. Also don't forget smokers contribute a huge amount of extra tax to the NHS which has to treat smoking-related diseases. It is very typical of the government to try and solve a problem through raw coercion; it's the only language they understand. Recent events demonstrated that very clearly, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2021/02/coronavirus-portal.html. I do not smoke. I never have smoked. This is a decision that I made as an adult, but I feel very different about being commanded not to by the state. This is the government infantilizing us, reducing us to the level of misguided children; again this is very characteristic of their attitude. And prohibition doesn't work anyway. Think of all the drugs that are banned and have been for many years; are they therefore never used by anyone? So even if you do not smoke you should stand in opposition this new law. As Pastor Niemöller could have said: "First they came for the smokers..."

Centre Port

 

One of the loveliest locations on the east coast of England is the Wash, a bay made up of shallow sandbanks and multiple river estuaries. It is a major conservation zone with huge colonies of seabirds, seals and eels. It includes a huge salt marsh, one of the biggest in Europe. This was originally much bigger and extended almost as far as Cambridge; but during the Middle Ages it was drained and turned into farmland. The land around the Wash is very flat and reminds me of my mother's family home in the Netherlands. This means that landmarks such as Ely Cathedral and the King's Lynn silo are major landmarks. Apart from several dredged shipping channels and some coastal flood defences, the area is untouched and natural. Queen Boudica used to live near there, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/02/one-long-boudica-moment.html. The secret of the Wash's rich wildlife is the complex movement of water and sediment as the rivers mix with the tides and winds. This causes variable temperature and salinity zones essential for some of the shellfish that live there. Now, like everything else sweet and natural in the world, it has to be interfered with. This is an event that fills me with sadness as it reminds me of Presque Isle, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2015/09/presque-isle.html. The government have expressed a wish to build a causeway across the mouth of the Wash, sealing it off forever from the open sea. The life-giving currents and migration routes of seals and eels would be severed. The causeway would carry a road which will shorten the journey from Hunstanton to Skegness from sixty-four miles to eleven miles. This means you'll be able to get from your home to your work cubicle much quicker. Also on the causeway will be a gigantic tidal energy scheme which could power 600,000 homes. Of course regular readers will know this technology is actually obsolete, but the government won't tell us that, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/08/free-energy-portal.html. It will also have a harbour built on it, hence the name. Centre Port faces much deeper waters so larger ships will be able to dock than those currently using the inland ports of King's Lynn and Boston. This means even more containers of cheap disposable Chinese tat will be able to reach us even faster at an even lower price. This idea has been toyed with since the '60's, but nothing official was decided. Now a company called Port Evo has unveiled formal plans. The 2022 proposal is detailed and includes a two billion pound estimated budget. Source: https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/plans-revealed-for-2bn-tidal-barrage-featuring-container-terminal-flood-defence-and-rail-and-road-links-22-11-2022/. This is still the early stages of the development process and nothing has been decided, but it is worrying that the government are taking this seriously.

New Roswell Police Patch

 

A new uniform patch has been designed for the Roswell Police Department and in tune with the rest of the town's iconography it includes an alien UFO motif. All American uniforms include a fabric patch which contains encoded or symbolic information about what it represents. The previous patch was a simple blue shield background with the words ROSWELL POLICE surrounding the sun symbol of the Zia Pueblo Indians, exactly as it appears on the New Mexican flag; and inside this was a yucca plant, the state flower of New Mexico. This new patch is ET green with a white border. The background is black or very dark green. Inside it is the Zia sun symbol like the old patch except this one is light green and it says around the inner circle: Protect and serve those that land here with two grey alien faces on either side. Inside is a motif that looks like a letter R, for Roswell, but the gaps in the R double up as a flying saucer with a tapering beam shining downwards. Roswell's Police Chief Lance Bateman (who looks a lot like a brother porter of mine!) said the department recently ordered an initial batch of five hundred as a trial to see what they looked like in use. The officers themselves were asked to design a new patch and choose the one they liked the most. The winner was this one and the artist was Support Services Sergeant Trong Nguyen. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTJdpJ7rHHw. This new police patch fits in perfectly with everything else in Roswell. The skeptics resent the fact that Roswell has become so affluent because of its UFOlogical notoriety. Mark Pilkington's book Mirage Men dedicates five whole pages to describing the UFO tourist scene in Roswell in lurid and derogatory terms, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2012/12/mirage-men-by-mark-pilkington.html. I disagree. What is wrong with a town exploiting its history for its own prosperity? If you object to that then you'd better go to Stratford-upon-Avon and tell them to get rid of all the Shakespeare stuff. "But that's different because Shakespeare was real!" says the skepper. "The Roswell UFO was just a fake story!" Well, that's a matter of opinion.

SETI Success?

 

Prof. Simon Holland has come up on HPANWO before, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/02/skeptic-copium.html. Since I wrote that article two years ago, this contradictory Scottish science vlogger has taken an even stranger turn, one that makes me wonder what on earth is he playing at? As I have said in my SETI talks, the biggest problem the movement faces is not data gathering but processing. Electronic noise of every frequency, wavelength and amplitude is constantly pouring into our radio telescope antennas to be stored on tapes and disks until somebody can find the time to sift through it all and see if it contains anything organized. This is why SETI@Home was a creative and effective way of clearing the vast backlog. It allowed everybody with a home PC to join in. Officially no confirmed candidate signal was ever found; but according to Prof Holland, that's not true. What happened was an Italian group had the idea of rechecking the SETI@Home data blocks for Doppler shift, a test that hadn't been done before; this revealed whether a radio source is moving relative to the receiver in terms of distance. This will inevitably happen on one level because the earth is moving; rotating every day and orbiting the sun once per year. Therefore the tests had to control for that; but afterwards they then discovered that one radio source was still Doppler shifting in the same way, which can only mean it is coming from an exoplanet orbiting its own star. As a result various SETI projects are being escalated with massively increased funding and new telescopes are being built. It is run by the EU and not the USA, which is the original heartland of SETI. Prof. Holland says he found this out from somebody whom he called "the source of this information". That is an unbelievable thing for a skeptic to say. It is the kind of thing the skeppers constantly castigate us woo-woos for. This source told Simon that the EU run network has found a modulated signal, exactly the thing SETI proponents have been looking for since the days of Drake and Sagan. The scientists involved have resolved information from this transmission. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FSkiLqLx60 and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUTDRvnv0VY.
 
Why don't we all know about this? Apparently, according to Prof. Simon Holland's source, the scientists don't want to publish too soon; they want to wait until they're a hundred percent certain. However, as I say in my SETI talk, see background link below, you can't keep something like this secret; the conspiracy would be too top-heavy. The telescope network stretches from Manchester to Namibia; it involves a huge number of people constantly communicating. A leak would be unavoidable. Not only that, but the evidence they are examining doesn't come from a pile of debris in a paddock sealed off by the military police, it is right above our heads where we can all see it. Astronomy is the one true democratic science. You cannot have cover-ups in astronomy. Therefore I doubt the content of these two videos very much. So what is going on? Is somebody pulling Holland's leg or is he pulling ours? If so why? It could be an attempt to muddy the waters in the rising public awareness of UFO's. SETI is a totally superfluous enterprise when you consider what these multi-million pound instruments are looking for in distant galaxies is actually here on earth already and sometimes flying just a few feet above our heads. However, these confusion techniques often backfire very badly. I double-checked and confirmed that Holland did not upload these videos on April the 1st. Perhaps he is simply quitting skeptic YouTube with a bang; or maybe he has just had a mental breakdown. We'll see.

Furbies Mystery

 

Furbies were a child's toys that first became popular in the late 1990's. They were electronic and could produce sounds. This began as random gibberish, but then they were programmed to begin speaking recognizable human language over time. This would have felt to the child like the toy was learning to talk. A friend has made me aware that a group of psychical researchers had experimented with séances and scrying, using a crystal ball, and then weird things started to happen one spring in that era. They began receiving visions of Furbies; it sounds almost comical; then they started seeing them in real life. They got on a bus and found a Furbie left on the seat beside them. It kept repeating: "UFO is tasty" and similar outlandish phrases. After that they began receiving phone calls in which a Furbie voice spoke at the other end. Most alarmingly of all, one apparently fell from a high window on a tower block and landed beside them; it had spontaneously caught fire. The Twitter users who reported this swear this is true. They suspected somebody of playing a prank them, but no evidence of a hoax was found. Source: https://twitter.com/theavalonians/status/1774144232661438690. This is a weird case, but not unfamiliar to others I've heard of. It includes the manifestation of physical solid objects, apports, in such a manner that it frightens and harasses. Source: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=542233230369947. Apports have even occurred under controlled conditions, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd4YPDzC8sQ. Unfortunately the Scole Experiment is not one hundred percent watertight, but having talked to several of the people involved I personally don't think it was a hoax.

Israel's Killer Robots

 

One of the most automated militaries in the world is that of Israel. For its size and population, that tiny nation in the Near East receives some of the most lavish foreign aid in the world. This includes collaboration with defence contractors and the sharing of technology. Christopher Everard's documentary Superstate describes some of the drones and robots being developed by the Israel Defence Forces, including a terrifying thing that looks like a snake, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JnQL7mjspg. There's also another machine called a "dog" which moves on four legs, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD0SnMFMFoY. These vehicles are very difficult to knock over and can traverse almost any surface. They can climb stairs and very steep hills. Source: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3164110/. A lot of the fighting in Gaza is happening underground. Hamas has dug out a huge network of tunnels and subterranean bases across the territory and the company Roboteam has developed some small portable robots that can explore the tunnels and identify enemy positions without risking personnel. Underground it's not always possible to direct the robot with remote control so it has some autonomous capabilities. This makes it very different to, say, the Gladiator or MQ9 Reaper. These platforms are controlled by a human pilot just like any other. The only difference is the pilot is not inside the aircraft; instead they are sitting on the ground in a control centre, sometimes a long way away, driving their charge via remote control. Autonomous robots are controlled by an AI computer which can direct and make decisions by themselves. They can take photographs, pick up electronic intelligence, detect mines or booby traps and transport hardware, all without the help of any human operator. It is reported that no autonomous robot is armed. They cannot initiate combat without human supervision... yet! It is technically possible though. Will we one day see the dawning of the age of killer robots? This has sometimes been compared to Robocop, but that is inaccurate. The famous film is about a policeman killed in the line of duty and reanimated as a cyborg. He is not a robot; his human side remains and in fact it grows stronger over the course of the story. Viewers of the movie will know that the cyborg cop is introduced to replace a completely mechanical law enforcement robot called ED-209 after the robot kills somebody accidentally in a test. This is what concerns me. Unlike most people I do not take a partisan position in Israel-Gaza conflict. I've seen a huge amount of propaganda levelled at both sides and I can't work the rights and wrongs. I just feel sorry for all innocent Israelis and Palestinians caught up in it, as I say in the background link. Military robots with the ability to kill will almost certainly be introduced at some point if the war continues; and it won't stop there. After they have proved themselves on the battlefields of Gaza they will appear in other countries in other wars, and indeed for peacetime roles in the police as well as the military. There's nothing the government would like more than to remove the human element from their ability to deliver violence. It is actually very inconvenient for them having their guns in the hands of flesh-and-blood brain carriers who have thoughts and feelings of their own; and who sometimes rebel against their instructions. This is why they go to so much effort to control us on a mental level... How many seconds do I have to comply?

Total Eclipse of the State

 

An eclipse of the sun is the most obvious astronomical effect visible from the earth's surface. It occurs when the shadow of the moon passes across the earth. They are actually not rare; one occurs at least every eighteen months, however they don't always appear in the same place. Actually a spot on the earth's surface can only expect to experience a total solar eclipse about once every three to four hundred years. As a result they are an event of curiosity and wonder for the people who live where one occurs. Often people will have a festival of some kind and eclipses are also connected to numerous superstitions in all cultures. During a total eclipse the location becomes almost as dark as night for a few minutes, usually about four to seven, although in 1973 some people aboard a Concorde supersonic airliner enjoyed totality for seventy-four minutes as the plane chased the moon's shadow at mach two, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzwwofB5_Nc. Eclipses are generally harmless. They can be alarming for some people and for more intelligent animals like dogs and horses; but after the moon's shadow moves on things just return to normal. The only real danger involved in an eclipse is if people try to look at the sun. This can cause serious eye injury, possibly resulting in permanent blindness. It is important never to look at the sun without special observation sunglasses; normal sunglasses are not good enough. Next Monday there will be a total eclipse over North America; here is a good guide for watching it: https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/how-to-watch-a-solar-eclipse-safely/.
 
As I said, a solar eclipse is a completely normal and natural event with a very simple cause; it is a part of the earth's relationship to other bodies in the solar system. It can also do no harm so long as the people in its locale are sensible and take basic precautions. Therefore I have to wonder why the hell the government have declared a state of emergency. When I first heard of about this on Monday I assumed it was an April Fool, but it wasn't. The Ontario Niagara Region and the US state of Indiana will both be under police and military lockdown throughout Monday. Why? Because large numbers of people from areas close to the eclipse path are planning to travel to the locale to witness totality and the authorities are concerned that they will cause traffic jams and threaten "infrastructure", that all too commonly used word. Governor Holcomb of Indiana said: "The massive number of people viewing this event in our state may well stress and/or interfere with first responder and public safety communications and emergency response systems such that a technological or other emergency may occur," It is quite normal for people to travel deliberately to an eclipse locale. When one occurred in 1999 in the UK several hundred thousand people flocked to the southwest coast of England to enjoy it. I myself stayed in Oxford, but we had a 98% partial eclipse here and I went to Port Meadow with some friends to get a good view. There was no state of emergency needed to cope with it, except maybe a few extra traffic policemen to clear congestion. Seaside resorts such as Torquay, Penzance, Minehead and St Ives enjoyed a prosperous late season boom. Everybody had a really good time. So why all of a sudden are states of emergency necessary? I honestly think that the government is now just looking for excuses to flex their authoritarian muscles. When there is no real reason they will just make one up. The "nanny state" mentality is more than just annoying, it is sinister. It is reducing the adult population to the level of silly children or even farm animals. Is that what the government really think we are? I discussed this with Trevor of Third Rail the other day, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2024/04/third-rail-radio-programme-172.html. On Monday Trevor will be going to the totality path a few miles from his home. In the programme I compared the relationship between the people and the state as an unhappy marriage, with the state definitely playing the role of a histrionic wife. It's time for an amicable divorce.

3 Body Problem

 

Alien invasion movies vary enormously in terms of technical quality and intellectual content. The new Netflix series 3 Body Problem scores quite highly on both axes. It explores the possibility of contact with an extraterrestrial civilization that is so sophisticated that it knows how to communicate using quantum entanglement and create designer matter from the subatomic level, something we humans have barely begun developing. When I first heard about quantum entanglement, "spooky action at a distance" it seemed obvious to me that if you could somehow capture the two entangled particles you could build a wonderful communications device. Unlike with electromagnetic waves, you wouldn't be constrained by the speed of light, saying hello to a distant star cluster and waiting 50,000 years for a response greeting, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/12/ben-emlyn-jones-at-awakecon-2017.html. You could literally have a normal phone conversation with somebody in the farthest galaxy. In the series it is therefore particle physicists, not astronomers, who hear the first messages from the stars. The title refers to the problems a hypothetical planet would have if it were gravitationally influenced by two other heavenly bodies; for example, what would tides be like if the earth had two moons? The aliens live on a planet with three suns about four light-years away; therefore it is probably the Alpha Centauri system, the closest stars to the solar system. Their own three body problem has rendered their planet uninhabitable so they are heading for the earth in a fleet of ark spacecraft. They expect to arrive in about four hundred years. They also send a series of chilling messages to the people of earth demonstrating their awesome technical supremacy and declaring their contempt for humanity. When they arrive it will obviously not be with goodwill. An organization on the earth is set up to counter this threat and it recruits scientists to build weapons. Anything can be justified to protect the earth from the evil aliens, although this ethical equation is pushed to its limits. In one scene a weapon is built to destroy a ship run by human allies of the alien conquerors. A torpedo etc wouldn't be good enough because it would supposedly allow the crew an opportunity to destroy vital evidence, so the attackers create a mesh of microscopically thin, but extremely strong nanofibres which slice the ship into strips like very powerful cheese wire; including everybody inside it. This is one of the most grisly things I've ever seen on TV. The programme has a 15 certificate and a warning for violence, but why not an 18? So the programme does appeal to the side of the viewer that enjoys sadistic entertainment.
 
3 Body Problem is very woke; and this gives it a slightly retro feel. Wokery is something that seems to be going out of fashion a bit, and in my opinion that's a good job. Of course the box office has been demanding its departure for a very long time, but finally cinema and TV studios appear to be responding. Therefore the level of political correctness in the series would be better suited to something from the late 20-teens. As I've often noticed, the worst excesses of wokeism in a TV programme or film tend to be at the very beginning, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/07/messiah.html. All the heroic characters are either female and/or non-white. Auggie, played by the Mexican actress Eliza González, is a cardboard cut-out "Strong!" "Independent!" "Woman!" The other female leads are very similar. The one exception being Ye Wenjie, a scientist working as a slave to the ChiComs in the '60's as they make an attempt to contact the aliens. Later on in the story she moves to Oxford with her daughter to work at the Harwell laboratory. She is a far deeper, more mature and more colourful character, more like a traditional heroine. She is played by Zine Tseng and by Rosalind Chao as her older self. (Chao was also in What Dreams May Come, the subject of a HPANWO TV watch-read party, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/06/what-dreams-may-come-watchread-party.html. I have also been to the Harwell laboratory, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2013/12/peasemore-2-harwell-laboratories.html.) The first white male we are introduced to is a drunken karaoke singer... and not a very good one... who tries to flirt with Jin and Auggie in a pub. When he asks them what their jobs are they sneer at him and describe their scientific professions in very technical terms. He frowns with incomprehension and walks away. Another white man is called Jack and he is an immature foul-mouthed overweight neckbeard addicted to computer games. He would live in his mother's basement except she was very rich and has died; so he has inherited her fortune. His whole giant house is his mother's basement. He dies early on in the series, killed by a woman of course. The only white male character approaching a respectful portrayal is Will, and his reverence comes only from his courage in the face of a tragic Cyrano de Bergerac kind of back-story and fate. I suspect the reason the producers have exhumed wokery from its shallow grave is because making this series was quite controversial. It is based on a book by Liu Cixin which won a Hugo Award, one the highest accolades in science fiction literature. China does not export a lot of its contemporary art and so this was a very remarkable achievement. There is an indigenous TV adaptation from last year called 三体(I don't know how that is pronounced) and it is far more faithful to the original story; not least because it is set in China and all the main characters are Chinese, like in the novel. To change those characters' nationalities and the setting is risking a charge of "cultural appropriation" and so the casting and portrayals were probably done to virtue-signal against that. They also make an attempt to maintain a link to the Chinese origin of the story through some of the characters and locations.

One thing that really surprised me about 3 Body Problem is that I can't help wondering if the producers have had some contact with the Conspirasphere. The reason is that Auggie looks and sounds very similar to Sarah Rachel Adams, see: https://www.sarahradams.com. Another character is called Thomas Wade and he is the leader of the earth defence programme. He is played by Liam Cunningham of Game of Thrones fame, but he is made to look, sound and act very like Miles Johnston, see: https://thebasesproject.org. I immediately went on the lookout for my own counterpart, but luckily they never included him. The eight part series is rather anticlimactic and has a very open-ended conclusion. This leads me to think there is a plan to adapt the novel's two sequels, what is known collectively as the 地球往事, "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy. I was rather disappointed that the plot was not more complicated. Nobody in the story doubts the validity of the government's commentary about the alien threat, even to the point where they're willing to slice a ship and its passengers into strips like a loaf of bread. What if this is all a big hoax, a fake alien invasion false-flag; see here for details: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/08/space-force-reply-to-steve-mumbling.html? The alien interventions could be simulated with Project Blue Beam technology. This element would have been a welcome addition to the storyline, but it is not even considered. This is despite the fact that the programme does include runaway climate change, sky quakes and bird deaths, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/02/bird-death-update.html. There are some good performances by some old and semi-retired actors including a rare non-comedic role by Adrian Edmondson and also Jonathan Pryce who was made famous by Brazil, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2008/12/hanged-hangman.html. I have mixed feelings about 3 Body Problem. The first three or four episodes are very well done. The mystery is handed and delivered very skilfully and the characters are generally more amiable. From about episode five the energy slackens a bit and the story atrophies. As I said, a very obvious and fertile opportunity to enliven the narrative is not taken; which is even stranger if the creators did indeed study the Conspirasphere. This series is better than some alien invasion movies I could mention, and compared to Independence Day it is Shakespeare. However, it is definitely inferior to Arrival, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/11/arrival.html. (Ironically that is also written by a Chinaman, Ted Chiang.) I will nevertheless look out for any sequels with moderate interest.

Wetherspoon Bounces Back

 

A lot of really bad things happen in this world, especially now. People's cities get destroyed in war, fake photos fool the masses, ships crash and bridges collapse. But sometimes something good happens and when it happens in the midst of all that depravity, it takes on extra importance and sentiment. As I've said many times, one of my favourite institutions is JD Wetherspoon. This franchise of freehouses is one of the few decent and noble things left in this unhappy land. In the background link I relate some bad news about 'Spoons, but now I can tell you some good news. The chain has reported an eightfold increase in profit since March last year. This is despite them going ahead with the aforementioned closures. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68636250. This is a very healthy sign. Not only has the service economy recovered generally since the Covid pandemic, but that recovery has centred on something that has a tradition in honesty, freedom and integrity. This more than anything else has cheered me up and given me hope.

Derek Savory Dies

 

I'm sad and shocked to report that my good friend the esoteric researcher Derek Savory has died. He passed away very suddenly. Derek was a quiet and private person, but great fun to spend time with. He was dedicated to his exploration of the secluded forest areas around his home in Suffolk. He had boundless energy and could wander the woods all night gathering a huge amount of evidence. He also did some psychical lab research with Project Oric, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2017/10/programme-252-podcast-project-oric.html. He was a vital part of the very active alternative community in his locality. He was my essential go-to expert whenever I was in the area and always let me stay in his house. He took part in several HPANWO TV productions, for example: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/08/rendlesham-forest-non-human-tour.html. Condolences to his brother Andrew, his dog Blue, his partner Penny; and the rest of his family and friends. I'll really miss Derek. Rendlesham Forest will never be the same again. Until our paths cross again, RIP, Derek.

New Nessie Photo 2024

 

Some new photographs of the Loch Ness monster have been published. They were taken by Chie Kelly from Ascot, Berkshire who was at the Loch on holiday with her family in 2018. She had a good camera and so could take multiple shots through a telephoto lens meaning that these are some of the best Nessie shots ever. They have also been edited into a simple animation. Source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/loch-ness-monster-breakthrough-most-32390967 and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT5VBaiQF5w. The images show a brown object or objects floating on the loch's surface quite a distance from the shore. They actually look fairly familiar because somebody else photographed a creature consisting of two humps over fifty years ago. The photos by Frank Searle were a media sensation. What is it? Somebody suggested otters; another said seals. They might also be a pair of floating dustbin bags; which would be awful because it wouldn't just debunk the monster, it would mean somebody is dumping rubbish in Loch Ness, polluting the environment. Somebody thought it might be an elephant. Probably not. Although elephants can swim they always raise their trunk up like a snorkel to breathe; which interestingly might resemble the serpentine head of Nessie reported by many witnesses. However, no zoo has reported any escaped elephants and that would not exactly be the kind of secret that can easily be covered up. It might be a catfish or eel. As the CFZ have discovered, those fish can grow to huge sizes and giant eels have been spotted in the area, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/09/loch-ness-monster-found.html. That's probably the most likely explanation. Reports of Nessie date back to the 5th century, but the increase in human population around the loch's shores has led to far more sightings in the last hundred years. I'm convinced the monster exists. It is probably a fish or shark because an air breathing mammal or reptile would be seen more often on the surface. It is clearly elusive and shy, actively avoiding human contact; and in the murky depths of Loch Ness that is easy to do. More photos will come in, no doubt, but proving the identity of Nessie will ultimately be an enormous task.

Kate's Cancer

 

See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/03/that-photo.html.
The mystery appears to have been solved. On Friday, the spring equinox and the same day as a horrific terrorist attack in Russia, Catherine, Princess of Wales released a two minute fourteen second video apparently explaining everything. She is depicted sitting alone on a bench in a park or garden, wearing casual clothes and no makeup. She announces that the reason she has been absent so far this year is that she has cancer. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy and trying to comfort her three children as much as possible. Her husband William, Prince of Wales and the supportive messages she has had from the public have meant a lot to her. She is taking time out of her royal duties while she is being treated. This bombshell comes just six weeks after the King was also publicly diagnosed with cancer, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/02/king-charles-cancer.html.
 
Naturally the backslappers are in hog heaven right now. They are strutting around social media hanging ten and pelvic thrusting, bleating their usual rigmarole: "It's a psyop!... It's a distraction!..." You can never win with a backslapper because whatever you say, at least one of them will think it is a distraction from something else. I would not wish cancer on anybody; and if this a true story then I hope Kate makes a fast and complete recovery. However, I don't think we should assume anything right now. The points I made about King Charles and his cancer apply just as much to Kate. Is this just meant to placate or guilt trip the people who complained about her photo? Was the video of her fake as well? If so then it's a much better one. The best thing to do is wait and see if more information comes to light.

Return of the Monoliths

 

They're back! The monolith craze emerged after the discovery of the original in Utah USA. They quickly spread across the world and there was even an online database of them. Artists and fun seekers joined in with a viral craze at a time when a viral disease was making people's lives a misery. The monoliths cheered people up and gave us hope. Were they all manmade though? I don't know.
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/12/utah-monolith-demolition.html.

And: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/11/utah-monolith-livestream.html.
Last week the news reported that a monolith had been discovered in Wales. It was spotted by ramblers on Hay Bluff in the Black Mountains in Powys. The structure is of a classic design, completely upright, silvery and metallic with a triangular prism plan. It is about twelve feet high and two feet across. It sits next to a footpath just inside the border with England. My friend and fellow researcher Gari Jones went to the area and took the photographs illustrating this article. Unlike the monolith in Oxford which appears to have been made of cardboard and tinfoil, this one is solidly constructed. It is embedded firmly into the muddy ground and probably has considerable foundations. Who made it? Nobody has claimed responsibility. To have built it would require a proper workshop and somebody with skills and the right tools. It would not have been easy to transport it to the remote and rugged location, and erect it securely. Gari is going to continue his investigation and has made a video: https://www.facebook.com/Gari.Jones.227/videos/1158760238816354. I wonder if it has anything inside it. The panels of the monolith are held together by what looks like tacked welding assisted by suction. Is this monolith made by aliens? Probably not; but it's always worth examining these structures. Not all of them can be easily explained. I wonder if any more will materialize.

The Gift and the Curse Tour

 

This Friday there will be an alternative walking tour of Oxford led by Mark Devlin and co-hosted by me and my good friend Tony Chinn. It will be based on Mark's allegorical novel The Gift and the Curse, see: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200645751-the-gift-the-curse. We will be visiting many of the locations featured in the story. To join the tour, meet up with the group at 6 PM at Gloucester Green bus station. If the weather is too bad the event will be postponed with a full refund.
See here for a HPANWO TV film about the event: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/03/mark-devlin-oxford-tour-1.html.

Gary Sudbrink Phone Calls

 

(Thanks to a friend for telling me about this.) In February 1993 a man called Gary Sudbrink received a series of four phone calls that are of an extremely bizarre nature and whose mystery has never been solved. Gary was living and working in San Antonio, Texas USA at the time, but he had family in New York. He travelled by air to visit them and one of the first things he did when he arrived on the 8th was call his old friend Mike. Mike was confused because he said he had received a call from Gary the day before. This was strange because Gary had not phoned Mike then; so who had Gary spoken to? Gary had not announced in advance his return home. The mystery deepened. At 10.30 PM the phone at his family home rang. Luckily the Sudbrinks kept a routine recorder on their landline. An unknown individual they nicknamed "the Voice" began speaking. The Voice is masculine and sounds like it has been distorted by lowering the pitch. It speaks with a non-descript American accent. Here is a transcript of the call:
GARY: I'll tell you who it is.
VOICE: Hello?
GARY: Yeah. Do you want to speak to him?
VOICE: Is Gary Sudbrink there?
GARY: Yeah, who's this? Steven (Gary's brother)? Are you playing games with me or what?... Huh? Steven if you're playing games here, I'm going to kick your arse.
VOICE: So how long are you going to be back from Texas?
GARY: Huh?
VOICE: You're being impersonated by the other voice.
GARY: Yeah this is you, Steven, you idiot. You're pissing me off. Jerk. I'm going get you on... Let's see what it says. Review. One new call. Out of area? Is Steven out of the area?
VOICE: How long are you going to be back from Texas?
GARY: Wait, say that again.
VOICE: You're being impersonated by the other voice.
GARY: Wait, hold on. Is Steven out of the calling area or what?
MUM: How do I know?
GARY: What do you mean, you don't know? He's in Queens.
DAD: Well who are you talking to?
GARY: I don't know who the fuck I'm talking to…
VOICE: Hello?
MUM: Hello?
VOICE: Is Gary Sudbrink there?
MUM: Who is this?
GARY (in background): Let me talk to him.
MUM: Somebody sounds like a robot.
GARY: Hello?
VOICE: How long are you going to be back from Texas?
GARY: What was that again, sir?
VOICE: You're being impersonated by the other voice.
GARY (to family): Oh, be quiet!... Sorry, will you say that again?
GARY: Hello? I'm being impersonated by what voice?
VOICE: Hello?
GARY: Yeah. Hello?
VOICE: Is Gary Sudbrink there?
GARY: Yeah, hold on a second.
MUM: Who is that?
GARY: It's Steven. Okay. Yeah what is your question? I'll answer it.
DAD (in background): …a strange voice.
VOICE: So how long are you going to be back from Texas?
GARY: How long...
VOICE: You're being impersonated by the other voice.
GARY: Right. When am I coming back? Is that your question?
VOICE (quieter voice): Sudbrink there?
DAD (in background): What's a matter with you?
GARY: Okay there was a break, hold on. You want to know when I'm coming back to Texas. Uh, is that your question?
VOICE: So how long are you going to be back from Texas?
GARY: How long am I going to be back from Texas? That question doesn't even make any sense.
VOICE: You're being impersonated by the other voice.
GARY: Okay. I'll be coming back eventually. Erm... I can't tell you when. You should know that question, the answer to the question because you seem to know more about me than I do. You know what I'm saying?
DAD: Are you a intergalactic... er... person?
GARY: Are you a space alien?
DAD: Sounds like he hung up.
GARY: I can't believe this.
DAD: He hung up, Gary.
GARY: See if he comes back.
DAD: Alright, I'll hang up.
This caller appears to be speaking in a series of pre-recorded sentences. It just repeats a set of phrases and does not reply to any of the recipients. The phrases all have the same intonations on the repeats and he stutters slightly over Gary's name in one. It obviously knows Sudbrink and knows that Gary is in his parents' home, and also knows he will eventually return to his current work in Texas. Gary assumes at first that it is his brother Steven playing a practical joke because he didn't think it could be anybody else. Oddly enough, on his journey to New York Gary was pestered by two men with clipboards asking him lots of questions.
 
Forty minutes later the phone rang again. Here is a transcript of the second call:
(Unidentified beep—From telephone or answering machine?)
GARY: Yes, er... speaking.
VOICE: Is this Gary Sudbrink?
GARY: Yes. Could I answer any questions for you?
VOICE: Are you back from Texas?
GARY: I'm not back yet. No.
VOICE: How long are you going to be back from Texas?
GARY: Let me answer. First you tell me where are you calling from?
VOICE: Is this Gary Sudbrink?
GARY: Yeah. Why don't you tell me where you're calling from?
VOICE: Who is this?
GARY: What do you mean who is this? You should know who it is. It's me, Gary... (Long pause) Wait, let me ask you this question. Where are you calling from? (Long pause) Okay, I'll be back...
VOICE (interrupts): Keep an eye on the skies.
GARY: Excuse me?
VOICE: Near Orion.
GARY: I can't hear too well.
VOICE: The full moon.
GARY: Yeah there's a full moon out, that's true.
GARY: Could you identify yourself?... Identify yourself.
DAD: Ask him what's the purpose of the call.
GARY: Why are you calling me?
VOICE: Keep an eye on the skies.
GARY: Excuse me?
VOICE: Near Orion.
GARY: I cannot hear too well.
DAD: Get on the other phone; it's better.
GARY: Hold on, let me switch phones... Okay. Okay hold on. Now who are you?
VOICE: Keep an eye on the skies.
GARY: (To Dad) Keep an eye on the sky he said.
DAD: Keep an eye on the sky?
GARY: Yeah.
VOICE: Orion.
DAD: Ask him can I talk to him. I had a sighting already.
GARY: Okay, hold on. Say that, repeat that again? Please repeat?
VOICE: Keep an eye on the skies.
GARY: Okay.
VOICE: Near Orion.
GARY: Near Orion.
DAD: Holy Mackerel. Tonight or this a when...
VOICE: The full moon.
GARY: The full moon?
VOICE: Show double of you.
DAD (in background): Keep an eye on the sky near Orion.
GARY: Repeat?
DAD: Tell him I'd like to talk to him.
GARY: Okay repeat last word?
GARY: I'm hearing static.
DAD: Tell him I'd like to talk to him.
GARY: He hung up.
DAD: He hung up?
It's interesting that Gary's father obviously has an open mind about aliens and had a "sighting". He and his brother Tom did indeed see a flying saucer in 1989 which was investigated by Dr Bruce Maccabee. The two men became active with a local UFO group. As a result, Gary's father is taking the caller far more seriously than his son. Gary is still convinced this is a prank by Steven. The second call also appears to be a series of recordings, but they are very different to the first. Once it has stopped asking for Gary, it continues with three main phrases: "Keep an eye on the skies", "Orion" or "Near Orion" and "The full moon". It wants them to look up at the sky and gives them basic instructions for when and where. The next full moon was an entire month away on March the 8th. "Show double of you" makes no sense.
 
Just eight minutes later the phone rang again. Here is the third call:
GARY: Okay. Yeah, it's taking time for him to talk. Who is this?
GARY: Steven, I'm going to... this is not funny you know.
VOICE: Who is this?
DAD: Gary, it's not Steven.
GARY: How do I know it's not Steven?
DAD: It's not Steven.
DAD: Hello? I had a, er... UFO experience in West Virginia, which you probably know. And I know that you're inter... er... an intergalactic person.
VOICE (very low, unintelligible, possibly "Who is this?")
DAD: Can you speak a little louder? Sir? Can you speak a little louder?
VOICE: (even lower, unintelligible)
DAD: Louder?
GARY: Let me speak to him, Dad. I guess, I don't know…
DAD: Okay I'll hang up so you can talk to him. He wants to talk to you.
GARY: Okay... Hello? Can I help you?
VOICE: Hello?
GARY: Yes.
VOICE: Is Gary Sudbrink there?
GARY: Yes, that's me.
VOICE: Here is Gary Sudbrink.
GARY: Yes, could you please identify yourself?... Identify...
VOICE (faint, interrupts): Are you back from Texas?
GARY: Yeah I'm back. I'm in Texas right now. (To Dad) Well, he asked me a question.
VOICE: (very low, unintelligible, possibly "How are long are you?")
GARY: No I'm in New York right now. You know that. Why are you asking me such a question?
DAD (in background): Assuming he's going to call back three times in a row, what are you going to do?
VOICE: Is this Gary Sudbrink?
GARY: Yes... Steven if this is you, I swear to God I'm going to be pissed.
VOICE: Who is this?
GARY: Huh?
DAD (in background): It's not Steven.
GARY: I'm trying to listen to him. Who are... excuse me?
DAD (in background): You keep playing games with Steven and it's not Steven.
MUM (in background): Well, shut the hell up.
GARY: Okay. Eventually I'll be back from Texas. Could you speak more? Please speak more.
VOICE (barely audible): Eye on the skies.
GARY: I guess it's not Steven. I believe it because I'm getting static.
DAD: Steven would not leave three times.
GARY: Let me go on this phone because I could never hear on this phone. Hold on... Okay. Okay, please speak. Hello?
VOICE: Keep an eye on the skies.
GARY: Okay, should I go out right now?
VOICE: Orion.
GARY: Right now?
VOICE: The full moon.
GARY: Okay, see... I'm not sure where Orion is now, but we'll go outside.
VOICE: Show double from you.
GARY: It will show double from me?... Repeat that again?
(Caller hangs up.)
The third call consisted of repeated phrases from the previous two. The quality was much lower this time with a lot of interference and some of the Voice's messages were indistinct.
 
Afterwards there were no more mysterious phone calls that evening. The Sudbrink family might have hoped that this was the last they'd hear from their enigmatic harasser, but the following evening at 10.21 PM, the landline began ringing again.
VOICE: Is Gary Sudbrink there?
GARY: Yes, this is me. Can I speak to... can I ask why...
VOICE: Is Gary Sudbrink there?
GARY: Yes, can I ask why you're calling? Can I please ask...
VOICE: Is this Gary Sudbrink?
GARY: Yes, this is.
VOICE: Gary Sudbrink.
GARY: Yes, that is me.
VOICE: We come. To be within this planet
GARY: Say that again?
VOICE: In this planet.
GARY: Leave?
VOICE: We come.
GARY: I'm standing right here.
VOICE: To be within this planet.
GARY: Is this a joke or what?
VOICE: To visit the many. To be contacted. As the same. With you.
GARY: Erm... I have to think about that. I'd like to see you.
VOICE: To visit the many. To be contacted. As the same. With you.
DAD: Hey, let me tell you something. I've been listening to you. And I've had contacts with you.
VOICE: Beware. Government interference.
GARY: Government interference?
VOICE: You...
GARY: You have? Please explain what type of interference.
VOICE: Beware.
GARY: Okay.
VOICE: Government interference. Visitations to be disrupted by them. (unintelligible, faint) ...appears. The sun will rise on... dark side of moon. World. Know.
DAD: The sun will rise on the dark side of the moon?
GARY: Okay, er...
VOICE (very low, unintelligible, maybe "on the moon")
GARY: What branch of the government?
VOICE: Show double from you.
GARY: What should I do?
VOICE: Beware. Government interference. Visitations to be disrupted by them.
GARY: Okay. Is that good for me or bad?
(Caller hangs up.)
That was the last weird phone call the family received. This fourth one is the most interesting. It contains completely new phrases; and for the first time there is the hint of a conversation. At one point the Voice repeats a statement when Gary asks him to: "Voice: To be within this planet... Gary: Say that again?... Voice: In this planet." The caller was never identified despite over thirty years of investigation. It was not Steven. (Strangely Steven reported an encounter with a doppelgänger of Gary while driving two years earlier.) The recording was put through a modulator and the Voice's pitch was raised until the tone became natural. Nobody in the family recognized it. It is possible somebody knew of Gary's movements because of the clipboard people harassing him on his journey, but who were they? Why did they do this, if they even did? How did they know so much about Gary? The phrase: "You're being impersonated by the other voice" in the first call could refer to the call Mike received on the 7th which he mistakenly thought was Gary. Who is impersonating Gary and why? Why is the Voice not more specific and helpful? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgD2S-eBHM8. There are some similarities in this case to others I have reported on such as the girl who made a call with her "imaginary friend", the "Vrillon" TV broadcast and the Twitter voicemail received by Ty, see background links below. Strange and unidentified phone calls do happen; alarmingly, there are many examples of them coming from people recently deceased, for example see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIYDmeRqqbU. It could be this phenomenon is related to the electronic voice phenomenon, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/hpanwo-tv-evp.html. Phone calls from the dead are usually almost as cryptic and garbled as EVP's. Psychical researchers think spirits might be able to use electronic media as a communication gateway to the physical world. Were the clipboard people Gary ran into men-in-black? We don't know; he does not describe them in much detail. He just said they were annoying and intimidating, demanding lots of answers from him. There are no firm solutions to this mystery, but it does not seem to be a hoax, or at least no hoaxer has ever been caught for over thirty-one years. Maybe more information will come to light.
