Keep Rhodes Up

I have recently been covering a disturbing new trend of false historical revisionism, and the dictatorial and violent imposition of political ideals; and I've upset a few people in doing so. This trend is centred on the United States of America and has manifested in the attacks on the culture and history of the Deep South, the condemnation and removal of the Confederate Battle Flag and the defacement of Southern graves and monuments etc.

At the same time another controversy has broken out in Britain that is surprisingly similar, and it's taking place right here in the city where I live, Oxford. A campaign was begun a few months ago demanding that the statue of Cecil Rhodes be removed from the University. The ornate facade of Oriel College is one of the grandest and most prominent sights on the High Street leading eastwards through the city. In pride of place above the doorway is an alcove containing a statue of Cecil Rhodes, a British imperial expansionist and African colonial statesman from the Victorian age. Rhodes believed in the creation of a one-world government modelled on the British Empire; and when he died in 1902, he dedicated a large part of his estate towards funding Oxford scholarships for young people around the world whom he thought had "the right stuff". For the last century, Rhodes scholars have moved and shaped the Earth, see here for more details: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/rhodes-house.html. The campaign to remove his statue from the Oriel entrance is because Rhodes was allegedly a "racist!" He was also one of the Empire's greatest enthusiasts. This makes him a bête noire of the political left. This political movement was started by a Keble College law student from South Africa called Ntokozo Qwabe. Ironically Mr Qwabe is himself a Rhodes scholar and he is only at Oxford at all because of the generosity of the Rhodes Mandela Trust... Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! This video outlines the case for taking down Rhodes' statue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ysn7T5FwK0. The uploader runs an open comments box and as a resident of Oxford I felt I was entitled to give my opinion, so I posted a comment stating that I do not think Rhodes' statue should be removed, at least not in today's era. The reasons I gave were the ones I detail in the background links above and below. Within minutes somebody replied to me saying: "In other words you're a fucking fascist piece of shit!" Somebody else called me a "white supremacist!" As in the background material, I appeal to those who know me; is that an accurate and fair description?... It's clear that the campaigners are very binary and have no intention of taking part in any kind of intellectual debate on this matter. You can either support them or you are cast out as a demonized other; that's your only choice. As the presenter of the video says: "No one but than the most hardened grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan would ever defend this man..."

The presenter describes Cecil Rhodes as an "all round evil man!" From what I've seen Rhodes was quite a complicated individual. He has made several quotes that contradict his historical image such as: "I could never accept the position that we should disqualify a human being on account of his colour", a distinctly anti-racist statement; even though he did go on to say that he did consider British people superior to others. He was also a homosexual and so would have been exiled to the periphery of Victorian society himself. The British Empire also did some good as well as bad. It introduced industry into regions that had previously missed out on it, and it was instrumental in the abolition of slavery. Despite what I've said, I think Rhodes was actually not somebody we should admire and some of the things in the video I agree with; but the video presenter has no idea who Rhodes really was and what his real agenda is. When Rhodes died, his supporters wanted him to be buried in Christchurch, Oxford's cathedral, or even Westminster Abbey; but he was instead interred in an outdoor tomb on the Matopo hills in Zimbabwe. This is a sacred site for the Ndebele people who were one of the most powerful cultures in pre-colonial southern Africa. Rhodes' place of rest means that he is making a distinct statement about his true mission. The famous interview with David Icke and Credo Mutwa gives more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4apWOUNOx64. There is no doubt that he was not the British imperialist that history portrays him as. Cecil Rhodes regarded the British Empire merely as a tool, as a means to an end. His will contains these words: "To and for the establishment, promotion and development of a secret society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonisation by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia (Crete), the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago (Malaysia and Indonesia), the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of colonial representation in the imperial parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible, and promote the best interests of humanity." This is a single world government centred on Great Britain with London no doubt being the "New Jerusalem". This is no different to the goals of the other Illuminati fronts that have sought world control throughout the "Great Work of the Ages"; from Alexander the Great, to the Roman Empire, Zionism and Karl Marx. It's ironic that the video was produced by the CPGB (ML) The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist). The presenter of the video, "The 10,000 League", has no idea what he is talking about. He is effectively saying that the British Empire was bad and so the solution is Marxism: "I'm opposed to Illuminati Front-A because it's evil! Therefore the solution is Illuminati Front-B!" At a higher level, Cecil Rhodes would regard the presenter as an ally. However, I think we should not remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes from the Oriel doorway. The #RhodesMustFall movement is not just about the statue in Oxford; it has targeted images of Cecil Rhodes all over the world. In April 2015 they succeeded in persuading the University of Cape Town in South Africa to take down the statue of Rhodes at its entrance. This was described as "decolonization". I'm opposed to this, not because I'm a supporter or Rhodes or an unconditional apologist for British imperialism, but because I think it is really a part of the colonization of the human mind. All of us are targets, whether we're black or white, men or women, gay or straight. It's a move to poison our thoughts and feelings with cultural Marxism, just like it is with the debate (or lack of it) over the Confederate flag.

Mysterious Star shows Signs of Life

Somebody recently wrote to me asking if SETI is cointelpro. SETI- the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence, not to be confused with Dr Steven Greer's CSETI, is a collective name for a number of different projects, past and present, that hope to find intelligent life out in space by picking up their radio signals, see: http://www.seti.org/. Apart from on earth, nothing of the kind has been found in our solar system (that we've been told about) so SETI has turned its attention to other stars and exoplanets, planets which orbit stars other than the sun. There have only been two occasions when the scientists have really thought they'd found what they were looking for. The first was in 1967 when the radio-astronomer Susan Jocelyn Bell picked up a regular pattern of pulses from far out in the universe. She even called it "LGM- Little Green Men", but it turned out to be a natural object, a new kind of star called a pulsar. However ten years later another radio-astronomer, Jerry Ehman, captured a signal so atypical he thought it had to be artificial, and he even wrote the notation "Wow!" on the data sheet. Unlike the LGM's the "Wow!" signal has remained unsolved since its discovery in 1977. That's all that has been discovered so far (that has been publicly admitted). However one of the pioneers of SETI, Dr Frank Drake, has designed an equation which makes it theoretically very likely that the project will meet with success someday. SETI has been made famous by the novel Contact by Carl Sagan which was made into a film staring Jodie Foster who plays a radio-astronomer who detects a real intelligent signal from a distant star. One thing all SETI scientists and aficionados have in common is that they dismiss the UFO phenomenon. Carl Sagan used to be particularly scathing in his rebuffing of UFO's. This is understandable because belief in UFO's would make their project redundant, for obvious reasons. What's the point of scanning the sky for alien life forms if they're already down here with us? However, I don't think an interest in both subjects is completely incompatible. If so, why am I interested in both?

Is SETI a controlled response for the UFO cover-up? I'm not sure. In my view, it's probably more likely that SETI is an innocent institution. This is not to say that it would not be welcomed by the people behind the ET truth embargo, because it happens to be giving out the message to the public that they want. Maybe some of its funding comes from members of what Richard Dolan calls the breakaway civilization. Despite the claim that radio-astronomy has not achieved what it set out to, some intriguing evidence has emerged from the world of optical astronomy. The Kepler space telescope was designed to detect planets orbiting distant stars and it does this by analyzing the light coming off the stars to see if there are objects in orbit eclipsing them or altering their orbit and rotation. It has so far examined 150,000 stars and found a number of planets. However scientists working on the Kepler space telescope have announced that there's something very weird going on with a particular star on the cusp between the northern constellations of Lyra and Cygnus. This star is about 1400 light years away and cannot be seen by the naked eye and it's just a point of light through most telescopes, but Kepler can pick out details. The star is surrounded by a collection of multiple objects. This is common in young stars newly formed because the gas and dust orbiting them hasn't settled down into solid planets yet, however the star in question is a mature one whose planets should be fully formed by now. It is a unique profile that hasn't appeared in any of the other 150,000 stars they've studied. "We’ve never seen anything like this star... It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out." said Tabetha Boyajian, one of the Kepler scientific team. She is one of a number of astronomers who have published a paper describing what they know so far, see: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.03622v1.pdf. The only "rational explanation" she can come up with is that another star recently transited the solar system of the star in question dragging a cluster of comets behind it and these comets are the objects Kepler has detected. However, she admits this is extraordinarily unlikely. For a start, they can't seem to find the star that passed through; and it's an astronomical coincidence, literally and figuratively, either way. A journalist contacted Dr Boyajian and she said that she and her colleague Jason Wright were considering "other scenarios" that were not mentioned in the paper. Some SETI theorists have speculated over whether signs of an intelligent extraterrestrial life form could be seen from earth simply by examining their home solar system. If these life forms were very technologically advanced, far more so than modern humans, then they might be able to build artificial structures in space big enough to be seen from other worlds light years away. Maybe they would find a way to put huge solar panels in space to suck up energy from their sun. Therefore SETI explorers should look out for these features when examining distant stars. Dr Boyajian and Dr Wright say that the Kepler data on this star match this theorized feature. Dr Wright said: "Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build." I don't know why aliens should be the last hypothesis that should be considered. According to whose principle? If the data matches the theory, why be shy? Why did Dr Boyajian omit this possibility from her paper? It goes to show how culturally taboo the concept of ET life is. It's got nothing to do with science; it's to do with what is psychologically acceptable; for distinct political reasons I think. Anyway, work on this bizarre stellar anomaly is going to continue. SETI now have a proposal to point the VLA- Very Large Array radio-telescope at the star and see if it's giving off any alien radio transmissions. This study could begin as early as the New Year, but could take a number of months to complete. Source: http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/the-most-interesting-star-in-our-galaxy/410023/. Dr Boyajian's team goes on to say: "Until then we will have to content ourselves with longing looks at the sky, aimed between the swan and the lyre; where maybe, just maybe, someone is looking back, and seeing the sun dim ever so slightly, every 365 days." I wonder if they'll find anything. They may find nothing at all. But if they do, you'll be sure to hear about it first on HPANWO Voice; watch this space... Then again, what if they do find something and an unknown suited man steps into the control room and warns them to keep quiet about it, or else?

Secret Chamber behind King Tut's Tomb

Egyptologists have announced that there might be more to the famous tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamen than meets the eye. When the archaeologist Howard Carter first discovered the underground mausoleum in 1922 he could hardly believe what he found inside. The body that lay in the sarcophagus was covered by a mask of solid gold and in adjoining room was a collection priceless jewellery. The pictures and hieroglyphic inscriptions on the wall announced that this was the final resting place of the pharaoh Tutankhamen, who had died in 1323 BC at the tender age of eighteen after a short life of ill health. The mummy's lineage was confirmed by DNA tests many years later; he was the son of the mummy thought to be his father, the pharaoh Akhenaton. (Strangely many of the members of Carter's team died of a mysterious disease a short time later; were they cursed by the spirit of the king? Some people do take seriously the spiritual influence of Ancient Egypt, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/egyptian-statue-moving.html) One of the enduring mysteries in Egyptology is the location of Tutankhamen's stepmother Queen Nefertiti "the Queen of the Nile". A number of statues of her were found near the tomb of her husband Akhenaton, but no body. However, new tests carried out by the archaeologist Dr Nicholas Reeves indicate that there might be a previously undiscovered chamber in the tomb. He worked this out by scanning one of the walls of the burial chamber with radar. There is what appears to be an empty space covered over with the wall slab. This is quite common in Egyptian monuments; in fact some chambers and passageways of the pyramids were found behind apparently blank walls that had to be broken through. Dr Reeves has suggested using ground penetrating radar above the site to see if there are any spaces close to the known areas of the tomb. If the presence of another chamber is confirmed, will it be excavated? It's possible that the damage done to the wall of the burial chamber might not be considered worth it, especially if a hole has to be made that will destroy the beautiful mural. They might design a miniature robot and drill a hole for it to go through. I wonder if the operation will be on live TV again. However, as I say in the background links below, whatever is found will be vetted before being released to the public. How much will we be told about it, and will what we're told be the truth? It is early days yet, but I'll report back if there are any developments. Source: http://www.academia.edu/14406398/The_Burial_of_Nefertiti_2015_/.

Frederick Forsyth was a REAL Spy

One of the world's top thriller writers is the British novelist Frederick Forsyth. He's best known for the books The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File and The Fourth Protocol. These have been made into many films. I've read a couple of his books and I've found that his style is very matter-of-fact and he is good at inventing interesting plots. The stories are event driven rather than focusing on characterization and that might not appeal to everybody. However if you're in the mood for a bit of good old "bloke-lit" then Forsyth is perfect. He was also famous for his daredevil lifestyle. In researching his stories he used to make contact with real gangsters, terrorists, mercenaries, black market arms traders etc. He put himself in danger and sometimes had to flee for his life. The literary critics call him a "real James Bond". They used to put that down to his adventurous personality, but new information has recently come to light, from the horse's mouth, that provide and alternative theory. In his autobiography, called The Outsider- my Life in Intrigue, see: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Outsider-My-Life-Intrigue/dp/0593075404/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8, he reveals that he has worked for the British intelligence organization, MI6. This comes as no surprise to me. He is known to have many friends and contacts in the world of serious espionage and some of the details in the books have led many experts to express astonishment at how much he seems to know that he really shouldn't. Also there are precedents for the real and fictional intelligence worlds occasionally overlapping. Ian Fleming is world famous for creating the fictional spy James Bond, but he himself spied on the Moscow show trials and during the Spanish civil war; he was also head of British naval intelligence during World War II and was involved with the Helen Duncan affair, see: http://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/helen-duncan-wartime-psychic-jailed.html. Forsyth was also an international journalist. He worked for Reuters and the BBC from 1961 to 1967 where he reported on the Nigerian civil war. When the BBC tried to take him off the case he resigned and went freelance. It's quite likely that it was during this period he was approached for recruitment by MI6. It makes me wonder how many more of the news reporters we see on our TV screens are moonlighting in such a way. The Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow has aroused controversy several times; he refuses to wear a poppy on the air during Remembrance, which is highly unorthodox in the British media and some people find it offensive. In 1976, at the start of his career, he reports that he was approached by some people who offered to give him a large amount of money, in cash, tax free, much more than his journalists' salary, in exchange for private information on some of his colleagues and research subjects. There's no doubt the people who made him that offer were in the intelligence services. Snow, to his credit, turned them down. The question is, if Jon Snow said "no", how many others said "yes"? Jeremy Paxman? Huw Edwards? Gavin Esler? Fiona Bruce? We now know that Frederick Forsyth said "yes" and he was working for the BBC. Some of his books include disturbing themes, although I've only read a couple of them. The Fourth Protocol is especially interesting. The story is about a plot by the Soviet Union's intelligence service, the dreaded KGB, to smuggle a nuclear bomb into the UK in order to detonate it at RAF Woodbridge, in Rendlesham Forest, and destabilize an upcoming general election; this would allow one of their agents to become prime minister. (Interestingly Peter Wright, the renegade MI5 officer who wrote the book the government tried to ban, Spy Catcher; spoke of an attempt by the British intelligence services to commit electoral fraud in a UK general election. This may well have happened in Scotland last year, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZRYVE4naHc). The attack is foiled in the end by British counter-espionage efforts, but there is a subtle hint in the story that the whole operation is really a false flag. How much does Forsyth really know? A lot less than he's willing to say openly, you can be sure. However dropping hints is a good way of letting secrets out without anybody finding out. Is Frederick Forsyth trying to do that?

People who think they're Zombies

The rising profile of zombies that I have documented in the background links, at the foot of this post, is continuing right up to the end of 2015, at least. However, one thing few zombie movies consider is what is it actually like to be a zombie? The concept of the zombie comes from western Africa and the word is derived from the Niger-Congo language family root nzumbe. This was a human corpse that had been animated into an undead state by a black magician. They were fundamentally mindless because the soul of the deceased was absent; often the sorcerer would keep the victim's soul in a bottle. The zombies of modern fiction are usually the same. What's interesting about the classic and definitive Dead series of films by George A Romero is that in some of the films the zombies exhibit a modicum of memory from their lives and traces of their former personalities; although they always maintain the obsessive urge to eat living human flesh. In Land of the Dead they even gain the awareness to plan and organize as a team. There is a real mental illness people can suffer from in which they sometimes describe themselves as zombies and psychiatric associations call it "life as a zombie". Cotard's syndrome was first identified in 1880 by the French neurologist Jules Cotard. A patient he was treating believed that she was dead, her personality didn't exist and that her body was actually decomposing. The fact that she was still breathing, walking and talking etc failed to register with her due to a breakdown in her logical thought processes. Sadly this patient died of starvation because she stopped eating. Cotard's syndrome can be associated with other psychotic disorders, depression, dementia and schizophrenia. A recent sufferer was the writer Esme Weijun Wang of San Francisco, USA. Her descent into the Cotard's delusion, in 2013, took a number of weeks. At first she started feeling deeply depressed and disorganized. Then she woke up one morning and told her husband that she was in fact dead. This wasn't bad news for her because she concluded that she was now in heaven and that her husband and other loved ones were there with her too. Mrs Wang's bliss did not last for long. Her melancholy returned and she decided she was really in some kind of purgatory or hell. She eventually recovered from her condition and got back to her normal life. However she has recurring mental illness; earlier in the year she had come down with a bipolar episode. Here's an article she wrote about her experience: http://the-toast.net/2014/06/25/perdition-days-experiencing-psychosis/. (Thanks to Samantha Mansi for finding this). There are a number of related sicknesses such as Capgras syndrome in which the victim believes that somebody they know well has been replaced by an identical impostor. There is a philosophical school called solipsism which is based on the idea that the only consciousness in existence is ones own (Paradoxically solipsists do form groups and organize meetings etc). However believers in solipsism can become obsessed to the point of madness; and they fall into an inversion of Cotard's syndrome, in which they claim that everybody around them is dead and they are the only living person in the world.

There is a fascinating film called Jacob's Ladder in which the main character begins experiencing horrifying visions, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJztRnDxdM8. Apart from that his life seems normal; he has a job, family and home in a city he's lived in his entire life. However, in the end he finds out that he actually died a number of years ago and that he's been living a false life, a completely immersive illusion. The film might give you an idea of what it's like to experience one of these mental illnesses, although in the story the protagonist's experiences are real. The direct cause of Capgras and Cotard's syndrome is unknown, but damage to the amygdale region of the brain is linked with it. This is plausible because the amygdale contains the mechanism that allows us to recognize individuals from sensory input; such as identifying faces. And malfunction of the amygdale can cause us to lose the awareness of individual identity, both our own and that of others. In fact one sufferer of Cotard's syndrome saw his reflection in a mirror and felt that it was actually the image of a stranger looking at him. For me the most worrying element is something else in the story of Esme Weijun Wang. She had undiagnosed Lyme disease. Along with her psychiatric problems she had presented symptoms of Lyme for a number of years before being finally treated in 2014. Although her doctor doesn't agree, Mrs Wang is convinced there's a link between her Lyme infection and her mental illnesses. Indeed Lyme disease can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord which can lead to serious chronic pain and delirium; but most neurologists deny that it can cause Cotard's. Lyme disease is a very mysterious condition that was only first identified in 1975. There was an outbreak in the town of Lyme, Connecticut USA. At first it was mistaken for syphilis because its symptoms are comparable and it is caused by a similar bacterium, known as a spirochete. It's usually caught from a tick bite, but it can be transmitted to others. If you catch it you'll be treated by a course of antibiotics; however some people continue to experience effects afterwards. This is known as "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome", but a growing number of physicians now suspect that the illness lingers on; this has resulted in the chronic Lyme disease controversy. As I say in the background links, I suspect that Lyme disease may be the result of a government biological warfare experiment at the top secret "Building 257" facility on Plum Island, New York; just across a sea channel from Lyme, Connecticut. The reason there is a mindset of establishment denial when it comes to chronic Lyme disease could be because acceptance of its reality might lead to the true origins of the pathogen being revealed. I have made predictions about how the methods the government is using in their possible agenda to turn natural humans into zombie-like beings. If Lyme disease can really have that effect on people, the way it did on Esme Weijun Wang, then perhaps it is the basis for the proposed zombie plague. No doubt it will need to be recombined and mutated to make it more effective and contagious, but that work may well be in progress since Mrs Wang contracted her own infection. It is only by speaking out about this subject that we can put a stop to their scheme to make us all into walking corpses.

Season's Bleatings by the Porters' Poet

I met somebody recently who has been writing some brilliant poems about HPANWO, and today she has done a Christmas one. As before, she has made the poem into a decorated tableau. I'm really grateful, it was a lovely surprise Christmas present. I'll be reading this poem out on my HPANWO Radio Christmas special show next week; watch the HPANWO Radio blog for upcoming details, see links column. See background links below for previous works by the Porters' Poet. See here for the latest poem:

Season's Bleatings by the Porters' Poet

As it happens I've had a stroke of literary insight as well. I've written new lyrics to the classic festive song White Christmas by Bing Crosby. These are in line with recent postings I've made on the subject of climate change, for example see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/blood-rain.html.

I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas

Just like the ones we've never known

Where aircraft spray

And temperatures stay

In double figures with no snow

COP 21 has finished

With a deal to deindustrialize

In case you don't care

We will create a scare

So you'll believe our carbon-conning lies

I'll perform this song on the show as well.
