The Trial of Jeremy Kyle

 
The Jeremy Kyle Show used to be one of the most popular daytime TV programmes ever, yet it was axed suddenly in May 2019. This followed the death of one of its "guests", a Portsmouth man named Steve Dymond. The true story of how Mr Dymond passed away has never been officially revealed yet it is likely to be suicide. He died a week after appearing on the programme. Today a coroner announced that there was no causal link at all between Mr Dymond's fate and the TV show. Jeremy himself gave evidence at the inquest. The Jeremy Kyle Show is a prime example of "reality TV". It is very similar to Trisha or Jerry Springer, although far more extreme; a talk show in which people are brought into the studio to talk about their problems, usually involving some kind of conflict with each other. The live studio audience then cheer or boo their approval and distain like crowds at a sporting event while the host gives his own personal opinion. The participants seem to be almost always of a certain demographic; working class white people who, to put it politely, are never the brightest arclights on the stage. Jeremy Kyle claims he does the show to help these people, to be "direct, empathetic and honest". He believes his manner is "the right approach". However, The Jeremy Kyle Show has been described by another judge as "human bear baiting". I have to agree. Even though some of his guests certainly come across as people I would not introduce to my children, to be told on live TV in front of millions of complete strangers: "You loser! I hope she kicks you into touch!" How do we know he deserves it? We are watching an edited recording of a kangaroo court in which usually only the prosecution has been presented coherently. For all we know he might be completely innocent; and a very vulnerable innocent person at that.

Steve Dymond came onto the show with his fiancée Jane Callaghan because she was afraid he was being unfaithful to her. Steve was very keen to take part in the show to prove himself innocent by taking a "lie detector test", a polygraph. This controversial practice is not permitted in a court of law, but it is fine in the court of popular entertainment. Steve starts weeping the moment he enters, admitting he has lied to Jane about other things in the past, such as bragging to impress her, but he denies seeing other women. He also reveals that he has previously been treated by a doctor for depression, although the doctor did say it was alright for him to be on the show. He fails the polygraph and Jane storms off backstage. Steve looks genuinely shocked. Kyle says: "The test says you're a liar, pal. You failed every question! I wouldn't trust you with a chocolate button!" The crowd jeer at him without wondering if the polygraph machine is working alright or whether Steve is entitled to a second opinion etc. Steve continues to protest his innocence. Source: https://metro.co.uk/2024/09/10/inquest-death-jeremy-kyle-guest-steve-dymond-confirms-verdict-21577465/. (Be warned! This article includes a segment from the programme, which was never aired. I have watched it once; please never ask me to watch it again.) A week later he was dead. He left a note to his loved ones that has remained private, as it should. There may be many reasons why a person ends their own life. Sadly suicides are becoming more and more frequent, especially among white males. Nobody knows how much that day in the TV studio pushed him towards the edge. Something like this was inevitable. When sadism and sensationalism pull in viewers and therefore advertisers, sadism and sensationalism will be provided. The film Network has come true, see the background links below. The ethical questions don't really count for much because most people have no ethics; our society incentivises us to abandon them. Maybe there's a natural part of us that takes pleasure in this spectacle, a schadenfreude. We can't change human nature, but we can make decisions. We can choose not to indulge ourselves this way. I hope we will wonder how we would feel if we were put in Mr Dymond's situation. How would we like to be treated? Let's decide to treat others the same way. The title of this article is ironic, because Kyle was not on trial, he was a witness at a coroner's inquest; but then couldn't the same be said for his "contestants"? The Jeremy Kyle Show has now gone. May it burn forever in television hell.

The Disclosure President?

 
US President Donald Trump has recently done an interview on Lex Friedman's podcast in which he made some very interesting statements. At one point Lex brings up the public interest in UFO's and asks if, once "re-elected", would the president release more information about UFO's. Trump replies: "Oh yes, sure. I'll do that. I'd love to do that; I have to do that. But they're also pushing me on Kennedy, and I did release a lot; and people come to me and beg me not to do it, but I'll be doing that very early on. No, I would do that."
Later on in the video he adds: "A lot of big people went to that island (Epstein's), but fortunately I was not one of them."
Lex replies: "It's just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients who went to the island has not been made public."
Trump: "Yeah, it's very interesting isn't it? It probably will be, by the way."
Lex: "So if you're able to you will be..."
Trump: "I'll be taking a look at it. Now Kennedy's very interesting 'cos it's so many years ago. They do that for danger 'cos it endangers certain people; so Kennedy is very different from the Epstein thing. But, yes I'd be inclined to do the Epstein thing; I'd have no problem with it." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbfTN-caFI.
 
So, in this fascinating hour-long interview we have President Trump commenting on three popular conspiracy theories and pledging to be open with the public on all of them. Should we trust him? He has indeed commented on them before, but he did not achieve what we all hoped he would during his first term. Will his second term be any better? The Daily Star's print edition had one of its usual abysmal headlines about Trump and UFO's today; I'll spare you the picture. What is going on behind the scenes is anybody's guess and the process that is hopefully leading to the fall of the Deep State is not, as Ross Coulthart said about UAP, some kind of entertainment for social media users like us. We're not necessarily entitled to know everything that's going on. We do know that the establishment is rallying against Trump as he runs for his second term, like they did in that magical year of 2016. I will say more about this closer to the date of the US election, but for now I will confirm that I support President Trump and hope he returns to office. He deserves a chance.

Weird Noises in Space

 
There has been a real life Lost in Space scenario beginning in June and involving a pair of astronauts, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams. They were the test crew for an experimental eight day mission aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft; the first ever manned launch of this vehicle. The craft suffered a major breakdown once it reached orbit, but luckily it remained functional enough to reach the International Space Station so the astronauts survived. The problem though is that they now have no means of returning to earth until somebody sends up a rocket to fetch them. Elon Musk has promised to do so as soon as possible; much to Boeing's chagrin, no doubt. The two astronauts have been making the most of their emergency stop, putting themselves to good use, helping the resident crew. Both are experienced astronauts who have been into space before. However, something has now happened that could be the first serious obstacle of their exile. They were working in their stricken Starliner capsule when they heard a strange noise. Butch contacted mission control and said: "There's a strange noise coming through the speaker." He then had to find a way to let the controller hear it. The sound is a regular echoing pulse that rises and falls each time, described by the controller as "like a sonar ping." For some reason the ground controller asks him if he hears any other strange noises coming from other places. NASA claims the noise comes from inside the ISS and it is "common". If it's so common why did Butch and Sunita not know what it is? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5vd3S7DNGY. There is no sound in space because sound is caused by a vibrating medium, like air. Space is a vacuum. Any sound that comes from space must come from inside the spacecraft, or the ISS to which it is currently docked. Alternatively it can be modulated from an electromagnetic signal coming from outside the craft, or in some situations this can happen by accident through interference or jamming. As a result astronauts do occasionally hear strange noises in space; and sometimes the source of those noises cannot be located. This very famously happened to the crew of Apollo 10 while they were in radio silence as they passed behind the dark side of the moon. (In my view they were probably in low earth orbit, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/12/moon-landing-portal.html.) It was described as "space music"; it was actually a "whistling" sound.) What's the cause of these mysterious sounds? Well, like many mysterious sounds on the earth, nobody knows. It could be some undetected malfunction with the craft's electrical systems. It could be the interaction between cosmic rays and the solar wind. There are as many theories as there are theorists. I don't rule out an attempt at contact by some kind of intelligence.

Ben Emlyn-Jones on Apollo Detectives Q and A

 
I have been featured on the latest Apollo Detectives series, a Q and A livestream, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaD6mfAqyEI.
I was joined by most of the usual Apollo Detectives team; Neil Ward, Jarrah White, Marcus Allen, Scott Henderson, Randy Walsh, Dr Rasa Viharii and Robert Williams. The audience was mostly good-natured and provided some good questions. I hope to return for the next one.

Archer's Goon

 
I'm not sure what kind of browsing hole I was going down the other day to end up with me watching Archer's Goon. This is a Children's BBC serial from the early '90's. I remember watching the first episode or two on TV at the time. It is based on a 1984 children and young adult's novel by Diana Wynne Jones. It centres on an average middle class family from a suburban town who come home one day to find a dishevelled and aggressive young man sitting in their kitchen. He identifies himself only as "Goon" and says he has come at the bidding of somebody called "Archer", hence the title. It turns out that Quentin, the family's father played by Roger Lloyd-Pack of Only Fools and Horses fame, is involved in some underhand tax evasion scam. He has to produce short passages of words for the local mayor and he is rewarded with full council tax relief. The reason for them wanting these words is not fully explained in the TV series; it might be in the book which I have never read. Quentin's son Howard tries to get to the bottom of the mystery and discovers that the town is ruled by some kind of secret organization run by a group of siblings who control every aspect of the town's government and civil works. They are known only by single names, mostly surnames. They have underground facilities beneath the town's banks, libraries and garages. They travel through sewers or openly on motorbikes. They can control people's electrical appliances in their own homes and use light fittings as hidden microphones to eavesdrop. Amazingly their power extends to the supernatural, the ability to control time and space itself. It's a remarkable story. Of course there are plenty of stories about conspiracies involving secret societies controlling institutions behind the scenes, but this is the first one I've ever heard of that is produced for younger viewers. Unfortunately the author died in 2011, but she has been compared to JK Rowling. There is an Illuminati-type plot in some of the Harry Potter books. These days, in this age of censorship and paranoia, you probably would not find mainstream media making a TV programme like this for kids. The book is still available though, see: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/47521.Archer_s_Goon. See here for all six episodes on a playlist. The quality is not the best; it's an old home VHS recording, but it is watchable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKlXKjosfFg&list=PLmAyiwH3LpisjfEMJvsykKmcXDtVcLImQ.

Planet X Archives

 
I have created a page on Archive.org of all the shows I did on Planet X Radio, see: https://archive.org/details/planetxarchives.
This was a joint online and on air radio station based in Liverpool that I was a part of from 2013 to 2014. I did thirty-two programmes in all; the twenty-three of my own programme on Planet Xtra, The Ben Emlyn-Jones Show, and also the times I was featured on the main Planet X programme. Those were very happy days. Dedicated to the loving memory of Ayem, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/12/ayem-dies.html.

Orwell on Lewis

 
See here for essential background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/07/that-hideous-strength.html.
As soon as I heard that George Orwell had written a review of That Hideous Strength by CS Lewis I braced myself. This would probably be both enthralling and dismaying. It represents the meeting of minds between two of the greatest authors and educators in the country at that time, but they had very different worldviews. I assumed there would be little common ground between them. In fact Orwell begins his appraisal with the words: "On the whole, novels are better when there are no miracles in them." This sentence was exactly what I expected, but then he immediately proceeds to add that some books are worthwhile wherein the supernatural does "play a part." He then comes full circle and says he still wishes that the "magical" element had been left out, but I don't think you can really do that. The whole point of the story is that good and evil have a spiritual source. Orwell however seems to be separating the story in his mind between the elements he likes and the elements he objects to and fails to understand that both are connected. He does accept the technocratic portent of doom quite perceptively though, probably because the review was published in the Manchester Evening News just a week after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. He ends the review with kind words though. Source: https://www.lewisiana.nl/orwell/. Orwell's own classic satire Animal Farm had also just hit the shelves which would certainly have put him in a good mood; otherwise might he'd have been more critical? I still do wonder if Lewis influenced Orwell in some way. I've come across an article by somebody who also asks that, see: https://apilgriminnarnia.com/2015/08/19/1984ths/. I am pleased to say though that generally Orwell is better disposed towards CS Lewis than I expected. Maybe this is because of the times I live in. Orwell was an atheo-materialist and I am of a more recent generation that knows such concepts primarily through the "New Atheists" and the skeptic movement, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2021/08/skeptics-portal.html. However, such things did not really exist in the early 20th century when the two men wrote. One can imagine what Richard Dawkins makes of That Hideous Strength; although I doubt he has read it. There were atheists back then, of course, there always has been, but they were mostly of a different kind; gentler, more open-minded and with a sense of patriotism. In Down and Out in Paris and London Orwell writes very fondly of a church adjoining a homeless shelter that provides meals and cups of tea for him and his fellow residents, and encourages them to sing hymns. I think he was something of a cultural Christian, although nobody used that term in those days. I don't know specifically if George Orwell and CS Lewis ever met, but if they did, imagine the conversation they would have had.

Imminent by Luis Elizondo

 
The book everybody is talking about has finally been launched. Imminent- Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFO's by Luis Elizondo is unfortunately only available in three formats: hardback, ebook and audio. My preferred format, paperback, is not yet available; so I settled for Amazon Kindle (something I did in protest, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/roald-dahl-memory-holed.html). I was determined not to read any reviews or watch any commentary about the book until I'd read it all myself. All of us have biases, especially those who claim to be free of bias, but I like to control my own as much as possible. Now I have finished the book I am free to look at others' feedback. I will provide my own detailed commentary at a later date, see below. I can say for now that it was extraordinarily interesting to see the process I have been following from the perspective of one of the leading figures on the inside. The reaction from the rest of the UFO community is interesting, yet predictable. The positive figures are as positive as I expected them to be while the skeptics are busily unpicking it. The backslappers have descended into the most copious group masturbation session over it, as I knew they would; gloating about how they and they alone are superior enough to uncover "psyops!" and that "Elizondo is a shill!" and how everybody except them is "naive!" I can't really say anything about that that Cristina Gomez has not already put a lot better, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/this-is-lue.html. In due course I will go into more details about my own assessment of this book and that of other critics on a HPANWO TV livestream, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/08/lue-elizondos-book-livestream.html. Suffice to say Elizondo's book is definitely worth getting. Even if you don't believe everything in it, if you are interested in UFO's you should still find it interesting.

Shroud of Turin Proved Real?

 
The Shroud of Turin is one of the most remarkable objects in the world. It is a piece of flax linen fourteen feet long and three and a half feet wide. It was originally carbon dated to the 13th to 14th century. Fragments of pollen trapped in the fabric match species native to the Holy Land indicating it comes from there. It was owned by a number of French aristocrats and kept in a series of churches until it was badly burned by fire. Soon after that, in 1578, it was moved to the royal chapel of the cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, Italy, hence its name; where it has been kept ever since. What makes the Shroud amazing it that it has on it an image of a tall man with a beard and long hair. The man has wounds on his wrists and forehead and these correspond with what looks like bloodstains on the cloth. The front and back on the man are visible vertically on the cloth indicating that it was wrapped around him from head to toe; this is the traditional way to shroud a corpse in Jewish funeral rites. Obviously this man matches the biblical description of Jesus Christ and in fact the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke describe how, after his crucifixion, Joseph of Aramathea officiated the burial of Jesus and wrapped his body in a shroud. The Shroud's fame only really took off in 1898 when it was photographed and the negative revealed a positive image of the man, meaning that the image itself was a photographic negative. Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, of Rennes le Chateau fame, claim that it is an unrecorded experiment in early photography by Leonardo da Vinci. They say that the face of the man resembles portraits of Leo indicating that he modelled himself. Although Leonardo was undoubtedly a very clever man who was interested in optics, there is no trace of conventional photographic chemicals on the shroud. The oldest known permanent photograph was taken over three hundred years later in 1826. The original carbon dating done in 1988 has always been called into question and now a new test has been done using "WAXS", wide-angle X-ray scattering. This reveals the age of the cellulose in the linen. The cloth is actually much older than was previously thought, about two thousand years old; so it was made at the time of Christ. Of course just because the cloth is old enough to be Jesus' shroud doesn't mean necessarily that it is. Source: https://metro.co.uk/2024/08/20/scientists-analysing-cloth-jesus-buried-in-make-huge-breakthrough-21454792/. New analysis on the marks thought to be bloodstains also supports the authenticity of the Shroud. They have chemicals in them matching those of blood from somebody who died of shock and trauma, which was the cause of death from crucifixion. According to the Gospels Jesus' received wounds where the man in the image has them. The forehead ones were caused by the crown of thorns put on his head as mockery for him being declared "King of Jews". Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13765919/shroud-turin-jesus-cloth-confirms-biblical-story.html.
 
When I brought this up on Facebook somebody replied that it had to be fake because the image was that of a white man. This is despite the fact it shows no skin colour; the long hair and beard match the traditional form of Jesus in the ecclesiastical art of Europe. These pictures also often show Jesus with pale skin. Of course Jesus would not have looked like that. Racially he was the same as the indigenous population of the region today, the Palestinians and the Sephardic Jews. In other words he would have been brown with shorter black hair. My correspondent showed me some old Egyptian Coptic pictures of Jesus and they show him this way. However it could be that Jesus styled his hair and beard to make himself look more Greek or Roman. That might have given him some status the same way that modern British men drive a particular car. I'm not sure about the Shroud of Turin. It remains enigmatic and fascinating. One thing's for sure, there are only two possibilities. Either it is one of the most extraordinary and unusual works of art and/or technology every devised; or it is the most incredible holy relic the world has ever seen. Both possibilities are exhilarating.

The Empire Strikes Back

 
Something almost unbelievable has happened in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Ukrainian troops have invaded Russia. On the 6th of August they sent troops into the Kursk oblast, a border region to the north of Ukraine. This is the first time Russian territory has been invaded since Germany's Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Unfortunately there is very little reliable news about what's going on. As has always been the case in this war, speculation is reported as fact and you'll hear that this is both an embarrassing kick in the teeth for "Puteler" and also a terrible blunder by Zelensky and his globalist backers that the Russians have already successfully repelled. We'll have to wait for more computer game clips to get some better information. The question is, why have they done this? Is it to cause a diversion from the Donbass? Is it the start of a more long term strategy of attrition? How significant has Russia's response been? Are they trying to provoke Russia? Are they trying to manipulate their Western allies into an all out attack on Russia? They may be rushing things along before Trump gets in in November. Kursk is far less well defended than Donbass. This could be a ploy to force negotiations. Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/how-russia-looked-wrong-way-ukraine-invaded-2024-08-17/. I wonder if it's a coincidence that this has happened at the same time that attention has focused on the destroyed Nord Stream pipelines, see here for background: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/09/nord-stream-usa-prime-suspect.html. It seems that once again conspiracy theorists have been proven right. New evidence has just emerged that the Zelensky regime in Kyiv masterminded the operation with the collusion of their globalist supporters. It was supposedly carried out by a private contractor. Source: https://www.allsides.com/news/2024-08-15-0620/ukraine-war-drunken-evening-rented-yacht-real-story-nord-stream-pipeline. This would make Nord Stream a strategic false flag attack by Ukraine to force the hand of its allies whom it considers clients. And sod the frozen German pensioners! This should be the biggest news story of the Ukraine war so far, but will it become so? This Ukraine saga has taken another twist; how will it develop next?

Bob Lazar Movie Fan Trailer

 
There is a large amount of documentary material about Bob Lazar, numerous videos and books dating back almost thirty-five years. Lazar has written his own book, see: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dreamland-Bob-Lazar/dp/0578437058. I myself have also covered the recent biopic by Jeremy Corbell, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/12/bob-lazar-area-51-and-flying-saucers.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2018/12/bob-lazar-movie-livestream.html. What we have yet to see is a fictionalized feature film. When you think about it, that is a curious oversight. Surely the interest exists for such a production to be a box office smash hit. Successful films have been made about other rogue insiders like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. I'm not the only one this has occurred to because somebody on YouTube has created a fan trailer. It is what a trailer for a film about Bob Lazar might look like. It consists of some originals mixed with documentary fictionalizations; also library footage of JANET aeroplanes and desert landscapes. There is also some CGI imagery. It is very well edited. When I first saw it I thought there really was a Bob Lazar movie coming out soon. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRE7BJTQm3w. I do hope somebody does make a fictional film about Bob Lazar. In the comments section viewers are debating which actor should play Bob. I thought maybe Kevin Bacon when he was younger, like he looked in Flatliners or Footloose. Realistically, Cillian Murphy looks right and is close to the correct age right now. As for writers and directors; I think the Wakowskis could do a good job, or maybe one of the more arty types like Denis Villeneuve and Christopher Nolan. I would love to see Vin Diesel play Dennis Mariani.

Nick K on the RDH Trial

 
Dr Nick Kollerstrom has done his own report on the trial of Richard D Hall. He addresses the subject in his own inimitable style, referencing other reviews such as my own and Iain Davies'; and includes his personal analysis and commentary. Source: https://terroronthetube.co.uk/2024/07/30/the-trial-of-richard-d-hall/. Iain has written his own book about the Manchester Arena and it is endorsed by Richard, see: https://iaindavis.com. I congratulate both these gentlemen on publishing this material because it is making the public more aware of the major flaws in the official story of the Manchester incident. The comments under mainstream news spots are also encouraging. Reality is something with a power of its own. One day nobody will be in any doubt. We will all be owed huge apologies, none more so than Richard.

New Stock Market Crash

 
There has been a stock market crash. It's not being reported very widely in mainstream news, but it has been described as one of the worst ever, in terms of wealth destruction. The losses last week, culminating in a dramatic slump on Monday, are estimated to be 3.8 trillion dollars US. NASDAQ, the largest Wall Street market, dropped over a thousand points, something that's never happened before in its fifty-five year history. The tech sector seems to be the worst hit with the Silicon Valley giants dropping like stones; Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook) and Apple. I hope readers don't own shares in them! How did this happen? Fingers are pointing at Japan; everybody needs a scapegoat. I'm waiting for Russia to be accused as usual at some point. The Nikkei, the Japanese stock market index, reports that their own markets rose 11% and this caused the instability that led to the Wall Street and City crash. The solution will be immediately offered by the government, of course. They will introduce some kind of emergency monetarist policy involving shifting the interest rates etc. Source: https://apnews.com/article/stocks-markets-nikkei-economy-c6240977e9482bf7207abc53b2a11e58. Dan from the Lotus Eaters says the main problem is that the government is trying to debase currencies in order to ease their national debts. You might argue that such a trick would not work because all the banks have to do is charge them more interest or allow inflation; but those levels are government controlled. What would you do if you could control the interest on your own debt?... Exactly! Government meddling with currency values is the cause of this kind of market instability. He believes this is not a serious crash and the markets will stabilize soon. Source: https://odysee.com/@lotuseaters_com:1/market-implosion!!:4.
 
Styx is less optimistic. He is concerned that this could be the start of a category A economic crisis. Source: https://odysee.com/@Styxhexenhammer666:2/a-world-recession-may-be-beginning:2 and: https://odysee.com/@Styxhexenhammer666:2/the-world-economy-seems-to-be-teetering:7. What does this mean for people who, like me, own no stocks or shares and live by simply selling our labour? It could be bad news if what happened on Monday really is the herald of a global recession. Economic slumps are always a terrible thing for the lowest earners, but in this case it would be hitting us while we're down. The economy has not had the time or energy to grow much since it was carpet bombed by the pandemic restrictions. Prices and bills are still high; wages are still comparatively low. Despite this gloomy prediction, there are also strong signs that the world is improving. The powers-that-were are losing control, which is one of the reasons they are resorting to such risky crises like the aforementioned pandemic. It looks increasingly likely that Trump will be re-elected in November and the European mainland is moving towards populism. Trump will reduce government spending and general economic regulation. He is backed up by Millei in Argentina and Sigathusdottir in Iceland. Hopefully the penny will drop that whenever an economic problem occurs, turning to the parasitic and controlling state and begging them for help is far from the ideal solution.

Another Third Rail EVP

 
In 2022 I reported on how our very own HPANWO Radio was affected by the electronic voice phenomenon. In episode 126 of Third Rail Radio an example suddenly appeared on the recording, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/10/evp-on-third-rail.html. I had it analyzed by a friend of mine who is an audio engineer in the world of cinema and he concluded that a part of it was something strange, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/04/third-rail-evp-update.html. I came up with another example on HPANWO TV, but that mysteriously vanished from the recording once it was uploaded, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/hpanwo-tv-evp.html. Now I have discovered another example. It is also on Third Rail and, interestingly, it is a few weeks earlier than the original, in programme 121, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2022/06/third-rail-radio-programme-121.html (If you don't want to sign up for a Spreaker account you can listen or download it on the Archive.org link). This time I do not remember hearing anything while I was recording with Trevor. The only reason I spotted it was because I was reviewing that show for another unrelated reason. There is more than one example on the track this time. Ironically, the part of the show affected most is where we discuss the strange case of a young Mexican girl who has her imaginary friend recorded on a telephone call. The EVP's appear at 1:01:40, 1:06:14, 1:15:06, 1:18:00 and 1:26:47. I've found one example earlier in the show and I'll keep searching for more. The nature of these sound anomalies and the recording conditions are similar to the original in Programme 126. Because we have a larger data set this time we can perhaps find out more. For instance, in only one of the six instances are Trevor and I both talking together, so it is unlikely to be a case of microphone gain or feedback. The examples are all only a handful of seconds long and take the form of a highly distorted voice, in some cases it is almost masked and no vowels can be heard, only consonants and noise. I hear no intelligible words at all. Unlike the HPANWO TV example, it is impossible to say what kind of voice it is. I don't think it sounds like my own or Trevor's, but I can't be totally sure because the quality is too low. We will probably never find out completely because one thing my friend who did the analysis said was, always keep the original recording; in this case a file from the Skype house recorder and the backup free stereo recorder. The programme was produced so long ago that I have disposed of them. However, if there is any new information I will post an update.

Late Night with the Devil

 
There's a competition between rival TV stations to outdo each other with shock and controversy. A lot that is apparently an accident or gaffe is secretly a part of the plan, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/03/that-slap.html. However, this can sometimes lead to a genuine catastrophe. Late Night with the Devil is a very unusual horror film that tells the story of a fictional massacre in the studio of a late night TV variety show in 1977. It is a "found broadcast tape" story, so to speak; an adaptation of the found footage horror genre. The presenter of the programme is a suave and professional individual called Jack Delroy who wisecracks confidently on screen, but deep down he is plagued by insecurity. He is locked in a bitter battle for ratings with a rival show that airs concurrently on another channel and his beloved wife falls ill; eventually she dies. In a desperate attempt to restore his television prominence as well as his personal self-esteem, Jack broadcasts a Halloween special in which he plans to shock the nation and upstage his adversary forever by conjuring up real supernatural phenomena. The results are cataclysmic and terrifying. One of the characters is a skeptic and is very closely based on James Randi. There is some humour at the end of the film where he tries to hand over his famous cheque, something he thought he would never do. There is also a powerful hint that Jack is more aware than he seems to be of the occult. He is a member of Bohemian Grove and is dating a parapsychologist who is rehabilitating a young girl who was a slave of a satanic cult. The cult leader is a man who looks and acts very like Anton LaVey. This is probably quite a low budget film. The cast are all B and C-list and it was an independent production based in three countries, but technically it is very slick. The acting is good and the script is cleverly polished. The style and atmosphere of 70's light entertainment TV is very well reconstructed. The result is surely the most original horror film for many years. It's a strange combination of Network, The Exorcist and Ghostwatch. It is pretty horrific though and therefore definitely not for the fainthearted. It is currently streaming on most major platforms for a few pounds rental.

ITER is in Trouble

 
ITER is the world's largest tokamak nuclear fusion experiment. It has been under construction in Caderache, France since 2007 and has slowly been taking shape. I have been following its progress on its official YouTube channel, see: https://www.youtube.com/@iterorganization/featured. These videos are primarily promotional and not much has been said in them about a major technical hitch. The heat shields and vacuum vessel have cracks in them caused by corrosion during manufacture; and also stress during installation, because the parts don't fit together properly. Repairing this problem is going to take a long time. It might even be necessary to extract the enormous modules and replace them with new ones which will take a lot of time, effort and money. Source: https://www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-europe-infrastructure-2023-1-iter-faces-potentially-years-of-further-delay-new-chief-says/. On the subject of money, the project has grossly overspent its original five billion euro budget. State-corporate organizations tend to do that; another obvious example being HS2, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/11/hs2-extension-scrapped.html. Its latest price hike is looking to top out at twenty billion euros; and all taken from ITER member taxpayers. The original plan was for the facility to be up and running by 2025; that has now been delayed, obviously. Latest estimates are that first plasma will be achieved in 2033 and energy should be produced in maybe 2039! Luckily for fusion proponents, ITER is not the only kid on the block and there are other cheaper projects being developed, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/12/nuclear-fusion-breakthrough.html. The joke about usable nuclear fusion power is that it always ten years away. That was first said in 1982 when the JET at the Culham laboratory opened. However, as you'll see in the background link below, ITER and its associates are gigantic golden elephants wandering in the wrong direction, and I think that's the purpose. Free energy exists already. Energy that costs almost nothing, is simple to generate, safe, practical, infinite and environmentally friendly. It has been developed, it might even be in small scale use; but the general public are forbidden from accessing it. Instead our attention, not to mention our resources, is diverted towards sexy cash-guzzling megaprojects that don't work and are not meant to.

New 9/11 Footage

 
A new video recording of the September the 11th 2001 attacks in New York City has just been published, one that has been unseen for almost twenty-three years. It was filmed from somewhere east of the World Trade Centre, quite a long way off. Looking on a map I'd say the camera is somwhere on Long Island. It was uploaded to YouTube by somebody called Kei Sugimoto. There are three versions of the video on his channel; the original fifty-seven minute upload, a highlights reel just over six minutes long, and a 4K upscaled version of the latter. Kei is certainly not a 9/11 Truther, in fact his channel seems to be mostly about photography. The dialogue is mostly in a foreign language; based on its phonetics and looking at Kei's profile, I'd guess it's Japanese. Occasionally an English-speaker interrupts and joins in with the conversation. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM9h60AesrI. You might think there is no point in watching this because we've seen it all before, haven't we? Well, every new angle on this attack could reveal vital clues. The most interesting part from this distance and aspect is the final destruction of WTC1. At the end we see the "spire". This is a section of the supporting wall structure of the tower that remained standing after the rest of the building had gone. It wobbled for a moment, which was very dangerous because it is several hundred feet high and must have been very heavy. If it fell sideways it could flatten an entire cityblock. However, it turned to dust. Skeptics have always claimed that the spire just collapsed like the rest of the building and we are simply seeing loose debris fall off it. It looks otherwise just because of the specific angle the video was taken. However, we can clearly see in Kei's recording that it does exactly the same thing. Most of the "dustification" is hidden by another cloud of fume, but it definitely happens exactly as we said it did. See here for more information: https://www.checktheevidence.com/wordpress/. A lot of people see 9/11 as irrelevent in the modern world. It happened so long ago that it is now purely historical, like World War II or Queen Victoria; but this new video shows that it is not. You never know when new evidence might come to light about any subject. It could break out at anytime, anywhere from anybody. I'm sure Kei Sugimoto did not post this video for the purposes of helping the 9/11 Truth movement, but he inadvertently has.

RDH Trial- Day Four

 
See here for day three: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/07/rdh-trial-day-three.html.
The trial of Richard D Hall is over. The final day, only a half day in the end, was indeed Mr Oakley's summation. He described what he felt were the "very strange" elements of this case, such as the announcement of a planned future injunction halfway through the trial. He criticized Mr Price for failing to address the factual elements of Richard's evidence, even though it was he who originally brought them up. He made the point that Martin Hibbert's principle gripe seems not so much Richard's conduct as it is his opinions. This again raises the subject of an obvious ulterior motive. Something happened on Tuesday that I thought it wise not to mention at the time, while the trial was in progress; because it might give away intelligence to the enemy, so to speak. During his cross-examination of "Miss G" Mr Oakley asked her a question that didn't seem relevant at first glance. Did she approve of the mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham's proposal for a law to force people not to question the official story of terrorist attacks; she replied "Yeah!" without hesitation and with a vigorous nod of the head. I wondered why the barrister had asked her that question, but then it became clear to me. It was similar to Mr Price's cross-examination of Richard. Mr Oakley had laid out a trap for Miss G and she walked straight into it. She exposed herself as bearing personal and emotional hostility to conspiracy theories. If she had said something like: "Well, I hate this nonsense about the Arena attack not happening, but I do believe in free speech so wouldn't try to stop people saying it" she would have come across as more reasonable and open-minded. As it was, her attitude added to the suspicion that this lawsuit is just a vexatious pretext to punish somebody whose views make them angry. It is a form of litigious cancel culture. The barrister also made the point that it is only through questioning official stories that true justice is often done. He cites the obvious example of the Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four, ten men imprisoned for a decade for a crime they didn't commit, the 1974 pub bombings. Another example is the Hillsborough inquiry; and there are many others. As expected, Mrs Justice (I'm sure her parents didn't call her that) Steyn ended the trial without making a judgement. She promised to do this in a couple of months. As we left the Royal Courts we were astonished to be faced with broadside of TV cameras and photographers snapping away; so you might have seen us on the news tonight! We did not speak to them and just walked straight down a side street to a pub for a well deserved drink. The trial is over, but we still don't know the verdict. Despite this, we were all in high spirits, especially Richard who is probably very relieved that this is all over, for better or worse. I know for a fact that regardless of the judge's decision, Richard will not go under. He has too many supporters and we will continue to support him. Mr Oakley came with us to the pub. As I said before, Richard's barrister was brilliant, but I did not know his real opinions. A good lawyer can act with enormous principled passion that seems genuine, but sometimes their own views are very different. This can lead to some misunderstandings, such as in this famous movie scene, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjbxL_v2DPk. As we spoke to him in the pub it became obvious that Mr Oakley was being sincere. I don't want to say too much in case it gets him into trouble, but suffice to say he is very much on our side. It was great to spend some time with so many like-minded people. Unlike a conference, this gathering had a serious purpose and a moral mission. I've made some really good friends this week. Despite it being an experience we'd rather Richard had not had to go through, and I'm quite certain he does too, we've all learned a lot and gained a lot. Richard himself should feel very proud of what he has achieved.

RDH Trial- Day Three

 
At the start of the third day of the trial of Richard D Hall, everybody felt that Richard was way ahead. The defence had declared with a very high innings, but now it was the prosecution's turn to come out to the crease and bat. Mr Price began by calling Richard as a witness. The first two hours of his cross examination was baffling. He started doing what is similar to a skeptics' debunking of Richard's theories on the Manchester Arena; not unlike the recent one Neil Sanders has done (unsuccessfully in my view). This was very odd because it seems to run contrary to the summary judgement forbidding any discussion of evidence. I had the feeling there was some strategy involved that I, not being a lawyer, could not understand; and I was right, but I'll come to that later. Mr Price kept reminding Richard of his responsibilities as a journalist, quoting OfCom's rules relating to "fairness" and the welfare of contributors. He claimed that the Hibberts had been featured so much in Richard's filmography that they counted as contributors and not just subjects. I doubt that, but I'm sure it can be clarified. Mr Price appealed to emotion again, returning to the "cruelty" and "hurt" Richard's actions had caused, allegedly. How the final photo of Martin and Eve in the restaurant before going to the Arena was "very precious" to them. "What about compassion?" he implored. As I've said before, such guilt tripping is not uncommon and I think it has no place in a rational discussion, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2009/01/show-some-respect.html. Mr Price kept pushing Richard to explore the hypothetical possibility of whether the Hibberts' story could be true. "Why don't you just believe them, Mr Hall?" he said. "Surely you can understand why, if their story is true, they would be so upset?" "It's a very serious matter because you're accusing them of a crime!" He then asked Richard if he had done a risk assessment before producing his programmes, as if Richplanet TV is some kind of building site. He quoted numerous media regulations and how journalistic freedom and the public interest have to be weighed up against privacy and social violation etc. Two questions I would like to have asked him which never came up in the trial were: How does Marianna Spring's invasion of Richard's market stall and attacks on his reputation weigh up in that rulebook? And: In his view, how does one legitimately portray Martin Hibbert and his family with anything other than unquestioning adulation according to his standards? I might add, as a KC Mr Price lacks the eloquence and conviction of Mr Oakley. It's just as well he is not on Richard's side. 
 
Richard replied calmly, choosing all his words carefully; but he remained defiant. He kept returning to the point that the evidence was what mattered and that whether the witness' testimony matched the facts was relevant. In his view, there are questions that people have a right to ask and should be asking; and I agree with him. He brought up examples of real life false flag and staged terror like Operation Gladio and the Baghdad bombing in which actors pretended to be dead bodies. He described the cagey and contradictory attitude of the public inquiry. It was only later on in his summing up that I realized the game Mr Price was playing with Richard; he was testing him. He claimed that Richard had the "arrogant" idea that he had no need to balance his journalistic rights to free speech with his duties of protection towards witnesses and subjects. However, if Richard had answered differently, for example saying: "Yes, if it turned out Martin and Eve were telling the truth then I would have to withdraw my books and films and apologize to them." then he would be lured away from his central argument, that he questioned the truth of their statements in the first place. This would lead to him to being trapped in an infinite paradoxical loop, saying that despite his doubts about their honesty, they might be honest; and therefore he would not have been doing this research in the first place which made him question that etc. Mr Price stated as fact that Richard's theories were "baseless"; I wonder why he used that word. I was waiting for him to say "egregious harm" and "trust the science", but he is not quite that corny. It was only just before the lunch break that Mr Price briefly brought up what I thought was the core of the Hibbert's grievance against Richard, his filming outside Eve's house. He did not successfully counter the points made by the defence though, in my view. He asked Richard why he thought he had got it right about Manchester when all the judges, the police, the emergency services and the city council etc all got it wrong, as if reality is some kind of election. He accused Richard of confessing that what he does is harmful because he shields his own nine year old son from what is going on while castigating the Hibberts for not doing so with Eve, but that is not an accurate analogy. Richard is shielding his son from his own court case; a very different affair. As with the Alex Jones trial, Mr Price presented Richard with some examples of recent social media posts about this trial, as if Richard is directly responsible for the behaviour of others, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2022/08/alex-jones-in-court.html. He did not include the HPANWO Voice posts in this series, probably because I am too reasonable for his purposes. There is only one day left in the schedule of this trial and I expect it will be mostly Mr Oakley summing up. I will be there tomorrow for that.

RDH Trial- Day Two

 
See here for day one: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/07/rdh-trial.html.
I got up at five AM for a second time to catch the coach to London. Luckily there is a very good regular coach service between Oxford and London precluding the need for accommodation there which is very expensive. As I've said earlier, I always feel very uncomfortable entering the Royal Courts of Justice; that Dracula's castle in the heart of the capital gives me the creeps, and I'm not even the one in trouble... yet. Today consisted entirely of a series of three cross-examinations by Mr Oakley, Richard D Hall's barrister. The first was with somebody I will call "Miss B"; she is Eve's educational carer. She said she became aware of Richard's presence more recently than the others; it was when the Panorama documentary was broadcast in October 2022. Eve herself first heard about Richard the previous summer, when the family decided to nickname him "Stalkerman". They believed that Richard was "making money!" from conspiracy theories and that this is "unfair!" (In the portal link below I explain why that very unoriginal accusation is false.) Eve's access to the internet is closely supervised, seeing as she is a mentally and physically handicapped young adult. Mr Oakley accepted that the presence of cameras and the media at Eve's college was upsetting for her, but that was nothing to do with Richard. Eve's parents did not try to reassure Eve that "Stalkerman" was not going to come back and "get her!"; why not? Eve apparently is generally very nervous and needs constant comforting. The second witness of the day was a "Mr Ll". He is a friend of Martin Hibbert and he claims to have heard of Richard as long ago as 2018. He told Martin about it, but the latter dismissed it as unimportant. Mr Ll says that Mr Hibbert is a very proud man who masks his feelings. Mr Oakley repeated the point he had made to Mr Hibbert and Miss B, that any anxiety and trauma the family was experiencing, was not Richard's fault; it was due to the general aftermath of the event in Manchester. Richard was pretty much a transient figure in their lives until the beginning of Mr Hibbert's media career. Mr Ll said that "denial of their story", meaning the official story of how the Manchester Arena incident had taken place, had harmed Eve and Martin. This is another very hackneyed falsehood that is wheeled out whenever some disaster occurs, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2009/01/show-some-respect.html. Mr Ll also claimed Richard had made an "implied threat" to a paramedic in one of his videos when in fact all Richard did was make his viewers aware that he had more information about that man that he might release at a later date. Mr Ll echoed one of the points made by Mr Hibbert, that he felt intimidated in the courtroom by the presence of... wait for it!... us! Richard's supporters, people like me. It is true that dozens of us have turned up to act as observers/McKenzie friends whenever Richard is in court; but, as far as I have seen, we have behaved ourselves impeccably. I have never approached Martin Hibbert on any of the occasions I have been with him in the Royal Courts of Justice. I believe none of us would be as stupid and counterproductive as to behave in a hostile manner towards him. In fact, at one time today I was passing through a door at the same time as Mr Ll and held it open for him. He said: "No, after you." I passed through the door and replied: "Thank you." We have a right to be there under the principle of open justice.

The most interesting witness was the last one of the day, "Miss G" who is Eve's mother and Martin Hibbert's ex-partner. She was not present in the courtroom and called in via CVP, which is similar to Skype or Zoom. Mr Oakley asked her how she felt about Eve's father's media presence; his TV and radio interviews and the new book he has just published. She shrugged and said it was his business seeing as they are separated and he is an adult. She trusts him and doesn't believe Eve could be harmed by the publicity. Like Mr Hibbert, Miss G is uncertain about the details of Richard D Hall's influence on their lives. Like the others, she first heard about him from Martin's discussions with her in mid-2021 and had no previous knowledge of him. She has only watched one of his videos and read a very short passage from his book. Richard's barrister then challenged her with many of the same points he had made to Mr Hibbert. Why is this a problem when Richard only approached their home on one occasion almost two years previously? Why had they never reported Richard to the police on any other occasion apart from summer of 2021? Did she know that Richard had stayed on a public highway and had not trespassed on her property? Miss G then contradicts Miss B by saying that she regularly informs her daughter about online content related to Richard, such as showing her Marianna Spring's TV documentary. She allows Eve to use the internet unsupervised, but says her daughter only watches music videos when left to her own devices. She says that Eve is still scared of Richard, but how does she know so much about him? Again, it seems that it is those around her who are actively keeping Richard fresh in her mind. Why don't they reassure her that he has gone and will never come back? Then something incredible was revealed, it turns out that Richard had had communication with the Hibbert's solicitor long before the harassment lawsuit against him had been initiated. The law firm had sent Richard what is effectively a cease-and-desist notice and Richard had replied that he was willing to remove some of the material that had been published by Mr Hibbert that he had reproduced, which he is not obliged to under established journalistic practice; if the family would accept that he had done nothing wrong. Miss G replied in a similar vein to her ex; she did not know this correspondence had taken place. That is extraordinary. I, personally, would be incensed if any solicitor acting for me tried to make secret negotiations with another party while keeping me in the dark. Somebody is lying here; either the family or their lawyers. Either way, this is a very weird situation. Of course, if this exchange between Richard and the solicitors had been made in the open, then that changes everything. It suggests a desire on Richard's part to deescalate and close the case amicably. The trial continues.

RDH Trial- Day One

The trial of Richard D Hall has begun; see the link below for background. Day one is over. It was held at the Royal Courts of Justice again and this time the court had made more of an effort to accommodate the large volume of visitors. A second courtroom had been set up with a cloud video platform, a type of CCTV, so the people who were unable to fit into the main courtroom have somewhere else to watch. Richard was represented by a barrister this time; and, as it happened, he turned out to be a right Perry Mason! Mr Price was once again acting for the claimant. There was a different judge this time, a Mrs Justice Steyn. The court officials were "robed" this time, wearing the traditional suits, gowns and wigs. Mr Price began by giving an overview of Mr Hibbert and his daughter's experience since the alleged bomb attack in 2017. I found it unfair that the prosecution is allowed to bring up evidence to support their cause, but Richard is forbidden by the summary judgement. What's more the claimant has himself criticised the Kerslake Report, the official story of the Manchester Arena attack, so why can't Richard? Richard's public views about the incident were described with words like "insulting" and "upsetting", but being insulting is not a crime. Mr Price stated that it doesn't matter whether Richard believes sincerely that the Manchester Arena event was staged; what matters is the damage it does to the people on the receiving end. The prosecution's opening statement was primarily emotional, not factual. Mr Oakley, Richard's barrister said pretty much all the things that I have said before, that this whole case against Richard had the ulterior motive of censorship. Martin Hibbert was called as a witness and most of the rest of the day covered the defence's cross-examination of him. Mr Hibbert acted as if he were still filming with the BBC instead of giving testimony in a courtroom. He spoke of his emotional trauma and fear for his daughter's safety, but at the same time he has sought publicity and is quite happy to appear in major media roles; documentaries, news stories, interviews etc. Nearly all the material Richard has used as evidence to criticize him is in the public domain, much of it published by Mr Hibbert himself. The only exception was when Richard went to Eve Hibbert's home. However, even this is not what it has been portrayed as. Richard did this in July 2019 while Mr Hibbert only found out about it two years later, in the summer of 2021. It was the visits by the police and not Richard that drew the neighbours' attention towards Eve. Mr Oakley also pointed out that, by his own admission, it is not Richard who has caused all of Mr Hibbert's trouble. His injury and mental trauma has. Hibbert gives contradictory dates about when he first heard of Richard as well as vague and uncertain statements about what effect Richard is having on him and his family. Hibbert includes a lot of rhetoric about his dislike generally of conspiracy theories. This makes the barrister question his motives. He brings no evidence at all to the table that supports his claim that Richard has harassed him.
 
Mr Hibbert generally seems very unsure of himself and what exactly he thinks Richard has done wrong. He can't remember the specific videos in which Richard is supposed to have caused him and his daughter so much emotional hurt. Doesn't he remember? I have really been harassed and I know off by heart every word said to me by "Team Droike" and where they said it, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/04/that-thread.html. Why did Mr Hibbert drag this issue into court? There is a simple statutory commission grievance procedure for breaches of data protection. Mr Hibbert then made the unusual step of criticizing his own legal team for not telling him this. What is really going on here? The trial has begun well for Richard. His barrister did an excellent job. Of course there are up to three more days left to go and the prosecution will get the chance to strike back, but so far so good. I'll be going to London tomorrow for day two.
