Skeptocrats attack Steiner Schools

The Skeptocrats are on the move again! The British Humanist Association is trying and block state funding of a new Steiner School in Frome, Somerset. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpiRYqZvAAc Steiner Waldorf Schools are a system of education based on the work of the German philosopher Rudolf Steiner; one of the speakers at the Alternative View conferences, Terry Boardman is an expert on Steiner and I wonder what he thinks about all this, see here for background: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2009/06/alternative-view-ii-part-6.html Steiner’s ideas covered all areas of life from child-rearing, to medicine, to technology, to farming and cuisine etc etc; see: http://www.steinerwaldorf.org.uk/ His is a complex set of philosophies which take a lot of study to understand, but they were essentially nonConformist and spiritual. It’s true that Steiner had racial opinions, but most people did in the days when he was alive; Winston Churchill and HG Wells did too. It is very unfair to demonize Steiner as a racist. Sadly in this world of Cultural Marxist political correctness anybody who even mentions the R-word tends to get the Government eating out of their hand. I'm getting scared by how authoritarian Atheo-Skepticism has become. The protest that we "Woo-woo's" pay tax too now falls on the deaf ears of those who consider themselves an intellectual elite whose destiny they believe it is to cleanse society of “superstitious nonsense!”. This is why they are trying to outlaw Spiritualism.
See here for important background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/richard-wiseman-skeptocrat.html 

I’m not an avid adherent of Rudolf Steiner and I didn’t send my own daughter to a Steiner School. As I said in the article linked above about Richard Wiseman, this is not an issue to debate whether Rudolf Steiner was right or wrong in his notions; this is completely a matter of civil liberties related to a parent’s choice for their child’s education. I’m primarily a libertarian. I’d hate to live in a religious dictatorship and if anybody tried to ban state funding of an atheist school, I’d be the first to leap to that school’s defence; but I feel equally uncomfortable about living in the Atheo-Skeptocracy that is currently looming over the horizon.

Nurse Sacked for Writing Stories

(Thanks to my friend Ellis Taylor for bringing this to my attention)
A nurse is facing deregistration, being banned from working as a nurse in the UK for the rest of her life, for writing stories! See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2225168/Nurse-wrote-sexually-explicit-fantasy-seducing-killing-patient-sold-book-clinic-visitors.html?ito=feeds-newsxml The actual charges includes one in which the author, Kathleen Pugh, “advertised” her literature in the course of her job and sold her book, a short story anthology called Aristocracy or Not, to other staff members and patients; she was allegedly observed putting up posters for the book at her clinic. However I suspect that this is an embellishment; it’s more likely she sold the books to willing patients after getting into a discussion about the subject with them. I’m an author too and know that when I bring that subject up, people are often curious and ask me more about it. I’ve made a few book sales that way and I don’t apologize for it. Besides, the conclusion of the disciplinary investigation was that the subject matter of the story itself was their main cause for concern. So they’re not trying to hide it!

There is a parallel with this lady’s plight in the past because of Robin Cook. In this case I’m not talking about the assassinated Government minister, but the American author who has written dozens of medical thrillers involving themes of organ snatching, human experimentation, necrophilia, neurological mind-control, pandemics, murderous and corrupt medical organizations and many other frightening subjects. Like Kathleen Pugh’s story, Cook’s novels contain explicit sex and violence and are intended for a purely adult readership. He’s an extremely influential writer, has had several of his books turned into films and has inspired other authors like Tess Gerritsen and Michael Creighton, see: http://www.robincookmd.com/ … Yet Dr Robin Cook is also a practicing physician! During the height of his career, in the 1970’s and 80’s, there was never any question that he was a writer on one hand and a doctor on the other and that he could effectively do both. Nobody was concerned that his fictional settings mirrored his own medical activities; why? Because they were just stories! Duh!

The world has definitely changed. As I’ve explained with Robin Cook, a few short years ago it would be unthinkable to persecute a person through their employment for simply writing fictional stories, but now it’s completely acceptable. The patients who bought tKathleen Pugh’s book probably didn’t think twice about complaining about her. You’d think that Kathleen Pugh had written a real description of something she herself had really done and forced the book onto their shelf, deaf to their protests! The authoritarianism of the modern world has crept up on us so slowly that we haven’t even noticed it. We’re still “free”, technically; but there are so many strings attached to our freedom and so many hoops to jump through to get it, that a lot of people will simply give up on it. It’s particularly revealing that this woman has been slated for an act of artistic creativity; it’s almost punishment for that very act itself! We’re not allowed to be creative! We’re only machines after all, designed to do a job for the Big Brother State we live in. This is why it is vital that we defend our rights to be creative and have free expression in our creations.

I can sympathize with Kathleen Pugh because I was once a health care worker who lost my job out of activities in my off-duty life in suspicious circumstances, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/ben-emlyn-jones-on-richplanet-tv.html and: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/ben-emlyn-jones-live-at-ldidg.html I wish her luck with her writing career now that she’s out of nursing. And who was it who said: “The only bad publicity is no publicity”? This article in The Daily Mail, even though it supports the establishment position and is pretty disparaging of her, will spread her name across the land and hopefully get her a big pile of purchases.

St Frideswide's Night Photoes

Many of you will remember my adventures at the church in Binsey on St Frideswide’s Night, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/st-frideswides-night.html. As you can see, my companion, Geoff Ambler of Contact International, took a number of photographs. I have been given permission by Geoff to publish these photographs on HPANWO. Photoes 1, 2 and 4 are simple interior shots of the church with nothing anomalous apparent in them at all. Photoes 9 and 10 are completely blank and are probably shots of the outdoor open spaces with all the features out of range of the flash, however if any HPANWO-readers have the skills and facilities to intensify them and find anything notable, I’d be very grateful. Photoes 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 capture patches of the exterior ground in the graveyard; these all look completely normal to me, although if any of you disagree please let me know and explain why. Photo 15 is one of the church gates which you can also see in the film. The only images of any immediate interest are Photoes 3 and 6. In Photo 3 we see a swirl of thin dark red across the lower middle of the frame and another blob of red to the upper left; this one of denser and a lighter shade. The background is black. I suspect this might be an article of Geoff’s clothing. Geoff’s technique involved taking some of the shots over his shoulder and so he wouldn’t be able to train the camera very well and might have accidentally photographed his own collar. Again, if anybody doesn’t think this is the case could you let me know?

The most interesting snap is Photo 6. It’s one of the exterior ground shots, but it’s the most remarkable because it contains a distinct orb in the upper mid left. It’s the only photo Geoff took that night which contains a visible orb. Geoff told me that taking photos over his shoulder tends to produce more orbs. Attempts have been made to explain orbs away as being artefacts of digital photography caused by the light source, usually the camera flash, being located close too the lens so reflecting the light directly back into the camera from a small nearby object, like a grain of dust or raindrop, see: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Orb. No doubt some of them are indeed just that, but are all orbs explicable as glints of light off motes and pollen grains? No. See here for a non-Skepper overview of orbs: http://www.ghoststudy.com/main/fakepageorbs.html. I also recommend the book Beyond Photography by Katie Hall and John Pickering: http://www.lights2beyond.com/. Geoff too has had a lot of experience photographing orbs and thinks that this one is the genuine article. Of course if we’d been slightly more competent and professional supernatural researchers we’d have kept an exact record of when and where each photo on the roll was taken, but unfortunately we are not and so we didn’t. The reason I’d like to know was because Geoff took one of the shots at 20.46 in Part 6 of the film linked above, and this was just a few seconds before I heard that strange voice. If the orb Geoff photographed is real, and Photo 6 was the one you saw him take at that moment, then could there be a connection?

Plan to Nuke the Moon

(The theme of this article is article is similar to this one: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/lcross-pearl-harbour-in-space.html but it is about a completely different subject)

A recent article in the Daily Mail has revealed how the US Government planned to detonate a nuclear bomb on the moon. The title of the newspaper story is an exaggeration; the moon itself would not be seriously harmed by the blast, however the explosion would have created a flash of light visible to people on Earth, including in the USSR. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2238242/Cold-War-era-U-S-plan-bomb-moon-nuclear-bomb-revealed.html. It’s important to understand that the Cold War was as much about psychology and playground domination tactics as it was about missiles, spies and bunkers. The intention of this operation was to “shock-and-awe” the people of the world, especially in the Soviet Union, into submission to the Democracy and “Freedom” of the West. The Soviets were equally irresponsible and childish, exploding the world’s largest hydrogen bomb, the fifty megaton “Emperor of Bombs”, over the Novaya Zemlya islands in 1961. It broke windows as far away as Helsinki, Finland and caused terrible damage to the surrounding environment, see: http://sonicbomb.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=90 The pilots dropping the bomb were on a semi-suicide mission because the planners of the test were not certain that the aircraft would be able to fly away quickly enough to survive the blast. The purpose of this test was the same: “shock-and-awe” the world into accepting global socialist “Freedom”.

The secret project to nuke the moon had a very euphemistic and pacifying name: “A119- a Study of Lunar Research Flights”. This is often the case with these kinds of government operations; the first nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima was called “Little Boy” instead of something like “Jap-Killer”. After the Soviets triumphed with Sputnik in 1957 the Americans wanted to strike back, and like every humiliated bully-ego they became extreme to the point of madness. I was surprised to see that Carl Sagan had been involved in the project because he was also renowned as a peace campaigner and advocate for nuclear disarmament. A119 was shelved before it reached the advanced planning stage, supposedly because of fears to public safety if the rocket failed at launch, but the testimony of Prof. Robert Jacobs might indicate an alternative hypothesis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdCMiDOFy2s I’ve made a mistake in the past in which I thought Jacobs’ UFO experience was directly related to plans to bomb the moon, but in fact Jacobs’ encounter took place a few year later, in 1964, during the test of an intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile. Jacobs was in the US Air Force and his job was to film the launch with optical instruments. His memories of what happened after the experience, together with the testimony of his commanding officer, Major Mansman, indicates that by 1964 the US Government already had experience of dealing with UFO encounters and had a contingency plan of action in place. This is why these men in “grey suits” were on the scene so quickly and the film suppressed and confiscated so methodically. There was no hesitation or indecision apparent in the aftermath of Jacob’s encounter. Perhaps this is the real reason why “a Study of Lunar Research Flights” was cancelled.

UFO’s do seem to take an interest in human activity related to nuclear weapons and nuclear power. As you can see in the linked video above, it also discusses the experience of Capt. Robert Salas in which UFO activity disabled an entire field of ballistic missiles a few years later. I myself took a photo of a UFO near another nuclear weapons facility, the Trident base at Faslane, Scotland: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/long-lost-ufo-photo-update.html Many of the most significant UFO incidents take place around these facilities. Obviously it is not every day that UFO’s directly intervene in human rocketry endeavours, but it is clear that if necessary they will act against us. In this case maybe there’s some kind of message they’re giving us; there’s no way to know for sure but to me it runs something along the lines of: “We don’t approve of you having nuclear weapons, but if you insist of using them, please keep them on your own planet.”

"That's just Human Nature, Man!"

On Thursday afternoon I was on the coach to Nottingham to meet Ustane before heading for Manchester where I was speaking at the Critical Mass Radio Conference. The coach stopped at Leicester for a one hour stopover and when I alighted to the pavement at the coach station I realized my mobile phone was missing from my pocket. As some HPANWO-readers know, I no longer use a mobile phone because of the cost and for the sake of my health; but I still keep my old mobile phone, with its inactive SIM card, to use as a clock, alarm, and to store and play music and radio show recordings. How it disappeared from my pocket I do not know; my best guess is it fell out at some point because I was keeping it in a pocket without a zip, so I could check the time regularly during the journey. It’s also remotely possible that somebody picked my pocket, but this is unlikely while I was sitting in my seat. However one certainty is that the phone disappeared while I was on board the coach, because I definitely had it with me when I came aboard.

I’ve called the coach operators, National Express, to make a lost property report. Some of you might be wondering why I’m bothering; since of all the many mobile phones get lost and stolen, how many are ever returned to their owner? A tiny proportion that’s for sure, and I admit that what I’ve done is a long shot. However I remember speaking to somebody at a coach station a couple of years ago who told me a massive amount of lost property gets handed in and they keep it in a huge storeroom for as long as they can before throwing it in the rubbish. The biggest problem, he said, was that passengers rarely bother to inquire and see if their property has been found because they immediately assume that if somebody finds it they will steal it. And I myself have noticed this cynical attitude among my own family, friends and acquaintances. But why is that when, as the man at the lost property office told me, a lot of people do not steal things they find; and a lot of them do hand in what they find in to be retrieved by its owner?

The answer is that a cynical view of other people has been deliberately induced in our society. The media and culture has a general theme of distrust and suspicion between people. Images and stories of war, crime and abuse, both real and fictitious, fill our senses continuously: Every man is a potential rapist, every woman a cheat, everybody in a suit will con you out of your savings, every young teen with a hoodie will beat you up, every black man will mug you, every foreigner wants to take over your country. However the most preliminary factual analysis will immediately show that this is not the case. The vast majority of human beings are respectful, cooperative and mutually supportive. We have evolved as a social species and therefore it’s instinctive on our part not to harm each other, to look after each other, to resolve conflict amicably. But conventional notions say otherwise; we are supposedly “hardwired for violence”; that it’s a “dog-eat-dog world out there, Man” and it’s “Law of the Jungle”, “survival of the fittest”. As I’ve asked many times before: in that case why is it that this “just human nature, Man” requires constant maintenance? The manipulators jump through hoop after hoop and sweat buckets in their effort to keep us at each other’s throats. If it’s “just human nature, Man” why don’t they just sit back and watch the show as we tear each other to pieces? (See here for more detail: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/friday-13th-man.html) For whatever reason, it suits the New World Order agenda for us to have that attitude.

So my main motive for filing a lost property report with the coach company is not so I can get my mobile phone back, although if on the off chance I can that would be a welcome bonus; my main motive is to strike back at this social engineering, this drive to turn me against my fellow man in a paranoid delusion of mistrust. That way I’m sticking up two fingers to the New World Order and telling them that I refuse to become what they want me to be.
(Edit: I've heard back from the coach company and they've found it. They're going to send it to me in the post.)

Skeptics Troll Their Own

Some regular HPANWO-readers will be aware that I've been on the receiving end of a very intense troll campaign for about five years. Trolls are basically Internet bullies who travel round cyberspace harassing and insulting other Net users. They are some of the worst people imaginable; in my view they encapsulate the most despicable and depraved mentalities in existence. I feel more contempt for them than almost anybody else. They're not only sadists, they're cowards who could never summon the gumption to confront anybody face-to-face; they just attack from behind the impunity of a keyboard and monitor. My antagonists are an infamous group of trolls calls "Team Droike"; who are still a regular and recurring problem on the HPANWO Forum. At first I thought they were just one person, they posted from a single user account; but then I noticed that their spelling and grammar varied in accuracy for different posts. They also seemed to be constantly online and I never had to wait more than an hour or two for replies at any time of the day or night, as if they were working shifts. Of course I'm a big, tough, ugly ex-Hospital Porter and so I'm not vulnerable in any way; but there are others who have been hounded to depression and even suicide by trolls. Team Droike are Skeptics and have obviously targeted me because I'm a "Woo-woo"; some trolls are non-Skeptics who hunt for Skeptics to abuse. I personally find both equally abhorrent. But a disturbing new development has emerged that has come to my attention via a friend of mine in Australia, Steve Trueblue, whom recently I interviewed on HPANWO Radio, see: http://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/programme-21-podcast-steve-trueblue.html Skeptics have started trolling their own. The victim in this case is a lady called Rebecca Watson, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nloor6dfwoY

Rebecca Watson is a Skeptic blogger and radio show host who founded and runs Skepchick, a website primarily for women who are Skeptics, see: http://skepchick.org/ It combines general Skepticism with associated feminist and women's interest issues. For example it has campaigned against misogyny in the Christian Right and witchcraft persecution in rural parts of Africa. Like every prominent Internet personality, she received her fair share of trolling, but one day these attacks suddenly escalated. Because of her disbelief in the paranormal and related subjects she felt she had found a group of like-minded comrades when she got involved with the Skeptic Movement. However she soon discovered that some of the male Skeptics she worked with were capable of even worse vicious behaviour than their non-Skeptic counterparts. During one conference a man politely, but rather clumsily, attempted to seduce her and she mentioned this incident on stage at the conference in a light-hearted way. The response was that she was immediately inundated with violent tirades ranging from spiteful jokes, sexist slurs and criticism of her looks and character, to threats of violence, torture, rape, mutilation, and even murder. Photographs of dismembered bodies were sent to her (and this makes me wonder if these are the same Skeptic trolls who tormented Meryl Dorey, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKEMPf_DRMg ) She managed to obtain information on the profiles of some of her abusers and discovered that they were often adults active in the Atheo-Skeptic Movement. That grand Maharishi of Atheo-Skeptics, Richard Dawkins, was not one of her abusers, but he was extremely unsympathetic; in fact he wrote a sarcastic false letter about it. To be honest I'd say that Rebecca Watson's failed-seduction experience alone does not justify any complaint, but when it is combined with the backdrop of her existing issues with male Skeptics I can understand why it would upset her; and Dawkins' response is highly insensitive, especially if what Watson says is true, that she had already told him about the existing threats she was receiving, see: http://skepchick.org/2011/07/the-privilege-delusion/ Watson's ordeal intensified as this very highly organized trolling campaign took shape. Other members of Skepchick were struck at too, frightening one so much she left her home. Entire forums and blogs were set up by male Skeptics disparaging female Skeptics. The Skeptopaths have shown their true colours.

I'm not an advocate of feminism, in fact I'm a very harsh and vocal critic of it, but when I look at the conduct of some Conformist males I can sympathize with women who feel drawn into it. Watson is not a "man-hater"; in fact she got married to Sid Rodrigues, a male Skeptic who helps run London Skeptics in the Pub who has always been very welcoming to me, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/london-skeptics-in-pub-141111.html So one cannot generalize, but Steve thinks that the problem lies with the mentality of those attracted to the Skeptic Movement, something we talk more about in the radio interview linked above. Rebecca Watson has stood her ground in the Skeptisphere and continues to do her work. This is very courageous of her, but Steve thinks it's naive and foolhardy. As you can see in the linked video, Watson still believes that the Skeptic Movement is a good thing which has the power to change the world for the better. Steve thinks she's better off out of it, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnp_Cmlwq3o Steve calls the Skeptic Movement a hate group comparable to the Ku Klux Klan. I think that's slightly too severe... just slightly. But I think it's certainly wise to treat the Skeptic Movement as an emergent hate group, because it has the symptoms of a proto-tyranny, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/richard-wiseman-skeptocrat.html Also see the list Steve quotes from the FBI here from 0.45: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKEMPf_DRMg As for Rebecca Watson, I agree totally with Steve's advice; get the hell out, Rebecca! She should get out and do her own thing beyond the umbrella of the Skeptisphere completely. She doesn't have to change any of her opinions or change anything else about herself; all she has to do is reject the institution that has created the "head-kicking" culture as Steve calls it. Team Droike are Skeptics, just like James Randi and Richard Dawkins are Skeptics, and Team Droike have decided to attack me. I wonder if Team Droike are among those who have decided to brutalize Rebecca. It's different for me, being a big 'ard feller, but for a young woman like Rebecca Watson it's far worse. I must say that if a pro-conspiracy/paranormal organization treated me like the Skeptics have treated her, you wouldn't see me for dust!
