Trainwreck- Storm Area 51

 

Netflix have produced a documentary about the "Storm Area 51- They Can't Stop All of Us" phenomenon. With the accurate title Trainwreck, it provides a good portrait of the internet meme that turned into a national security crisis. It began as a casual social media joke by a young man called Matty Roberts, but it spiralled out of all control, as these things sometimes do. Over three and a half million people signed up and on the chosen date, a proportion of them headed for the secret base in Nevada USA determined to "see them aliens!" It seemed to come out of nowhere. Matty was living a non-descript life running a vape stand at a shopping centre when he happened to come across Joe Rogan's interview with Bob Lazar; I have covered this in full myself in the background link below. He wrote something on a shitposting website about it almost as an afterthought, not intending for it to become what it did. It blew up overnight. Matty's mother was shocked by her son's unintentional call to arms. An entire community grew up within the next three months with different people proposing frolics and tactics, again in a half-humourous way that's typical of the internet. Even celebrities like Elon Musk and Miley Cyrus joined in on the fun. Plans were drawn up for the gathering. But it didn't stay fun for long. All kinds of problems emerged such as the sheer logistics of hosting a million people in a very remote and inhospitable area, making sure they had enough food, water and fuel to travel. The government became very concerned. The Nevada Test and Training Range Groom Lake facility is one of the most secretive places on earth. Its defenders will use deadly force if necessary should a large number of people attempt to invade it. That's when the brakes went on; potential attendees started dropping out and there were attempts to cancel it. Joerg Arnu of the Dreamland Resort website, who lives in Rachel, was one of the most vocal naysayers. The movement divided and the usual anonymous threats started circulating. The police were very concerned and Nevada declared a state of emergency. The FBI got involved, and not Mulder and Scully; real life "mean dudes". Matty was very perturbed by all this and took personal steps to deescalate the situation. He rebranded the meme from a raid into an outdoor party and festival called "Alienstock". The problem was that this new project was going to be a lot more expensive. In the end he had to get the pornography industry to sponsor it. There was also a plan to move the venue to the city of Las Vegas where organization would be a lot easier. At the eleventh hour Alienstock separated into two events, one in Vegas and one out in the desert. On September the 20th the storm broke, but luckily only a few hundred people actually congregated at the base entrance. There were a few arrests. One man was stopped with a collection of guns in the back of his truck. What would he have done if he had managed to carry on? See here for the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHcLSh9nTD0.

A huge amount of money was lost in security preparations, lawsuits and expenses, but it all ended happily. I think a lot of this trouble was caused by Matty's youth and inexperience. He himself admits he'd never heard of Bob Lazar before he saw him on the Joe Rogan Experience in 2019. I first came across Lazar on television in 1990. I know how the world of UFOlogy works and that there is an entire spectrum of people from the very good to the very bad; highly intelligent to profoundly dim, fairly level-headed to completely insane. I also know that UFO secrecy is a very serious matter and challenging it should be taken with much caution. In my own coverage at the time, I implored people not to approach the Area 51 border. This is also a warning about how modern online culture is a minefield. A slip of a thumb on a touchscreen can light the fuse that leads to a detonation that blows your life sky high. The line between reality and fantasy, necessity and fun, gets blurred. Storm Area 51 is similar to the "Boaty McBoatface" fiasco, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRS_Sir_David_Attenborough#Naming_poll. As I've said before, it's also encouraging that the notion of the ET cover-up is now so popular. The truth has to come out in the glare of so much public scrutiny. Covid hit a few months later and all this mess was forgotten. Despite the grave dangers of the phenomenon, I can't help feeling disappointed that it never evolved into an annual event.

Giant Roman Shoes

 

Not that there's a direct connection to yesterday's article, but on the subject of big feet... archaeologists have stumbled across some curious discoveries in Northumberland. For a long time now they have been digging up ancient leather shoes from the garrison towns along Hadrian's Wall, but they have recently extracted some highly unusual ones from a pit at the Magna fort near the modern town of Haltwhistle. They are unusual due to their enormous size. Some are over thirty-two centimetres long, making them the equivalent of a UK size fourteen. This makes it likely the rest of the wearers' bodies were also unusually large. While there's a general correlation between body and shoe size, it's not always totally proportional. Generally, taller individuals tend to have larger feet, but there's a wide range of shoe sizes for any given height. Factors like genetics, ethnicity and even nutrition can influence foot size. Sex is a factor too; women generally have much smaller feet than men. I myself have unusually large feet; I take a size twelve shoe, and I am six-foot-two, slightly above average height. Some of the shoes are also an odd shape, having a normal heel space but being far wider around the toes. Because of their age, seventeen hundred years or so, most are only soles, although there are a few specimens with uppers. There are too many of them, at least five pairs, for them all to belong to the same individual. The Romans often wore sandals, especially in warm and wet climates, which Northumberland had in those days, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2021/11/climate-change-portal.html. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1TN-cc8kco. There are no records or identity labels that connect any of these shoes to any historical owners. Some people have suggested that the shoes also had inner linings or padding that has not survived. If so then you'd expect to find the same shoe styles across the entire region, not just in one settlement. Also why don't we see the same practice in colder parts of the empire, such as the Alps? The Roman Empire was the first Illuminati occupation state to reach Great Britain. Maybe they were doing simple breeding experiments to create a race of giants. Perhaps they had found such a natural race and had deliberately moved them to, what was for them, a remote frontier, the Guantanamo Bay of the Roman world. They were the Roman equivalent of supersoldiers. We know this was going on in other parts of the world in previous ages, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2013/10/giants-found-in-iraq.html. Maybe it was a natural genetic mutation. However, contrary to popular belief, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/cvd-is-ruining-wales.html, the modern Geordies are primarily descended from the people who lived in that area back in those days; and their feet seem to be normal sized, so if it was a natural genetic mutation it has been eradicated. Possibly it was caused by local inbreeding. People didn't travel around as much in those days as they do today. Either way, it's a very interesting science news story.

Jurassic Bigfoot

 

The latest episode of On The Track, the videocast by the Centre for Fortean Zoology, the host and guest present an extraordinary and exciting new idea. The Bigfoot researcher Ray Harwood is interviewed by Jonathan Downes, director of the CFZ, and Ray believes evidence for Bigfoot and other cryptids could be found using mosquito blood meal analysis. This is a standard procedure used by vetenarians and agricultural scientists to track disease transmission and livestock health. It is carried out by catching mosquitoes in a net or other trap and testing their stomach contents, blood from animals they've been feeding from. This was the basis behind the film Jurassic Park in which dinosaurs were cloned from the DNA found in ancient mosquitoes embalmed in amber. In real life this is not possible in specimens millions of years old, but it can be done if the insect has fed within the last couple of days. Therefore Ray thinks this method could be applied to the search for unknown creatures. As Jon says, this is: "so obvious in its simplicity that none of us can believe that someone else hadn't thought of it years ago." He compares this to having millions of free drones flying around doing the field research for us. Bigfoot might steer clear of people with cameras, but it cannot avoid being bitten by parasitic insects. If we catch a mosquito, tick or similar minibeast after it has recently fed on Bigfoot then some of the cryptid's blood will be inside it, include a genome. So long as we have a good way of testing the DNA properly we could find hard evidence that Bigfoot exists. It's not easy; after all chimpanzee DNA is hard to separate from humans seeing as it's 98% the same. There has apparently already been a signature of an "unknown simian" in Florida USA. Could this be the legendary skunk ape? It's not certain. There are also zoos in Florida with chimps and gorillas etc. This will take a lot of work, but if it succeeds then it will be a massive breakthrough.

New Humanist Delivered

 

Something strange has happened in the realm of postal delivery. I came home from work a few days ago and found a brown envelope lying on the kitchen worktop in the spot where I and my fellow residents always leave items of mail for each other if they're too big to fit in our pigeonholes. I opened it up to find the magazine you see in the illustration. There was no covering letter or inner packaging; nothing to explain to me why it had been dispatched and by whom. The envelope was unmarked, yet my name and address had been printed not handwritten. The magazine, New Humanist, is an old one dating back to 1885 and focuses on culture, news, philosophy and science from an atheo-skeptical perspective. It is a quarterly and this is the latest one, autumn 2025. It has had a number of publishers over the course of its long history and currently it is being brought out by Humanists UK. The current issue centres on space exploration and has articles about it from a number of authors. I only recognize one of the names, Michael Rosen, and that surprises me; I wasn't aware he was involved. I actually met Michael Rosen when I was about nine years old because he visited my school. He wrote a series of humourous children's poetry books that I very much enjoyed such as Mind Your Own Business and You Tell Me. More recently he won an award for Sad Book which was inspired by the death of his son at the age of eighteen. In this magazine he writes about the word drone and its numerous meanings from a male bee to an unmanned aircraft. There are also a number of attacks on Elon Musk and a piece by somebody called Jess Thomson warning the SETI movement not to be "sexist!". This magazine is clearly very leftwing, like the organization that publishes it. Source: https://humanists.uk.

What's weird is... I never ordered this! It's not the kind of thing I normally read. I am not a Humanists UK member and am not on their national mailing list. I am only on the list for the local group because I attended their inaugural public meeting, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/oxford-humanists-launch-event.html. I did not pay for this issue. There are only two mundane possibilities that come to mind. This might be a promotional one-off copy sent to everybody on the list in the hope that we will buy more of them. Alternatively it could be a troll making fun of me. They've done this sort of thing before; in fact there are a number of fake accounts in my name on everything from Grinder to Filipina maid agencies. If so then this is worrying because they have clearly found out my home address. What other pranks do they have planned for me? This is not the first time I've experienced bizarre letterbox conundrums, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2021/04/something-strange-is-going-on.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2021/04/antichrist-book-livestream.html. I suppose I will have to wait and see if the winter issue gets sent to me as well in three months. I don't think they should bother. I have read some of this issue and was not impressed with it. I certainly won't be subscribing.

Hurricane Erin 2025

 

The eastern seaboard of the United States is currently under a state of emergency. North Carolina and New Jersey have locked down all areas and some locations near the coast have been evacuated. This is because of the usual problem at this time of year; an active tropical cyclone, one of many that can cause terrible harm, kill people and devastate entire communities. It previously caused damage in Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico and São Vicente. It reached its peak at category five on August the 16th while in the middle of the Caribbean. What's interesting is the name given to it, Erin. It is standard practice in meteorology to give names to any storm with sustained wind speeds of over 33 knots or force 7 on the Beaufort scale. These names are usually the same as those for people, alternating between boys' and girls' names and always start with each letter of the alphabet consecutively, for example: Anna, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Elsa, Fred, Grace, Henry etc. Erin is therefore the firth cyclone of the 2025 season. However, this is not the first hurricane called Erin. There was one in 2001 that began as a fairly normal tropical storm, beginning in the mid-Atlantic and working its way through the Bermuda Sea and up the eastern seaboard, but then it headed further north than most other hurricanes and ended up moving towards New York. By the morning of the 11th of September it was literally hovering just off the coast, threatening New York City; but despite that, no action was taken to protect the millions of people living there. This is despite the fact that had the cyclone made landfall over the City it could potentially have caused even more destruction than the attacks that destroyed the World Trade Centre. By the time the 9/11 attacks happened, everything else was forgotten. Nobody noticed that a few hours later the hurricane that had been heading northwest suddenly turned due east. 9/11 researchers like Dr Judy Wood believe there is a connection to the WTC atrocity itself. The reasons are complicated, but you can find details in the background link below as well as Andrew Johnson's website, see: https://www.checktheevidence.com/wordpress. The question inevitably comes to mind of whether something bad is about to happen connected to this new Hurricane Erin. There's no reason to think so specifically; whatever the connection between Erin 2001 and 9/11 it probably was not related to the reason that name was chosen. However, the Illuminati love symbolism, repetition and suggestion. It's a part of their belief system according to insiders like Mark Passio. There are numerous examples of odd coincidences and innuendo when it comes to violent and abusive actions that they do, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3As_ilhTLg. We can only hope for the best and be wary.
