I’m intrigued by the notion that Stanford Research Institute members were engaged in the design of Disneyland to harness secret technologies. An upcoming book by Walter Bosley will supposedly cover this in detail.

But a recent post over on Disinfo covers some of the claims:

• Disneyland theme park is located at roughly 33 degrees latitude.
• 33rd Degree Masons include J. Edgar Hoover, famed occultist Manly P. Hall, former President George Bush Sr, and none other than Walt Disney himself.
• A private club at Disneyland is called “Club 33″, supposedly named after the first 33 corporate sponsors of the theme park. It is the only place in the park where alcohol is served.
• Disneyland was designed by Harrison “Buzz” Price and Cornelius Vanderbilt Wood, consultants from the famed Chevron Oil-founded, DARPA-funded Stanford Research Institute which produced such gems as “Men Staring At Goats” remote viewing projects for the U.S. Army as a part of our battle to keep up with the Russians and their paranormal exploits.
• Stanford Research Institute (SRI) is connected to the Monroe Institute, which to this day conducts research into OBE’s, continues the Stargate Project’s remote viewing, and conducts brainwave manipulations techniques like those in the Hemi-Sync system.
• Disneyland also sits on an intersection of three so-called geo-physical/electro-magnetic “ley lines”, which are thought to be energy currents that run throughout the planet. These meridian “power” lines also intersect at places like the Glastonbury Tor, the Great Pyramids at Giza, Stonehenge, Nazca in Peru, the Bermuda Triangle, Taos, Sedona, Roswell, Ayers Rock in Australia, and the place where the Oracle at Delphi made her prophecies is thought to be such an “energetic” place as well. The Chinese also believed in these places of power – the entire 4,000 year old art of space arrangement called Feng Shui is based upon the same notion. The Romans also believed in “sacre”, or sacred places where powerful events occurred. These lines have also been linked to the flight path of UFO sightings.
• The SRI consultants chose the location of the park to sit not just in a geographic depression where such energies might coalesce, but “computed the center of gravity from the census districts” to determine the location.
• C.V. Wood also made sure that the King Arthur Carousel was located right at this meridian cross section, supposedly intending to distribute the positive energy/power throughout the park with the spinning of the mechanism (much like a Tesla Coil).
• Price went on to work on some 5,000 theme park attraction projects on five continents.
• Wood was later fired by Walt Disney and written out of all official histories of the Disney Corporation, but he also built Six Flags in Texas – also built at 33° Latitude, with a lay line running through it.

I’m very skeptical of all this but must say that I find it endlessly intriguing.
