Disneyland’s secret technology?

jritch — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:38:08 +0000

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.

the mystical experience of Carl Jung

jritch — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 23:00:39 +0000

I’m looking forward to the latest book from Gary Lachman on the mystical works of Carl Jung. But while it is on its way via Amazon.ca, I’ve been enjoying his recent article for Fortean Times which begins by detailing a seminal mystical experience in Jung’s life,

On 11 February 1944, the 68-year-old Carl Gustav Jung – then the world’s most renowned living psychologist – slipped on some ice and broke his fibula. Ten days later, in hospital, he suffered a myocardial infarction caused by embolisms from his immobilised leg. Treated with oxygen and camphor, he lost consciousness and had what seems to have been a near-death and out-of-the-body experience – or, depending on your perspective, delirium. He found himself floating 1,000 miles above the Earth. Seas and continents shimmered in blue light and Jung could make out the Arabian desert and snow-tipped Himalayas. He felt he was about to leave orbit, but then, turning to the south, a huge black monolith came into view. It was a kind of temple, and at the entrance Jung saw a Hindu sitting in a lotus position. Within, innumerable candles flickered, and he felt that the “whole phantasmagoria of earthly existence” was being stripped away. It wasn’t pleasant, and what remained was an “essential Jung”, the core of his experiences.

He knew that inside the temple the mystery of his existence, of his purpose in life, would be answered. He was about to cross the threshold when he saw, rising up from Europe far below, the image of his doctor in the archetypal form of the King of Kos, the island site of the temple of Asclepius, Greek god of medicine. He told Jung that his departure was premature; many were demanding his return and he, the King, was there to ferry him back. When Jung heard this, he was immensely disappointed, and almost immediately the vision ended. He experienced the reluctance to live that many who have been ‘brought back’ encounter, but what troubled him most was seeing his doctor in his archetypal form. He knew this meant that the physician had sacrificed his own life to save Jung’s. On 4 April 1944 – a date numerologists can delight in – Jung sat up in bed for the first time since his heart attack. On the same day, his doctor came down with septicæmia and took to his bed. He never left it, and died a few days later.

much more than we know happening on the Gulf Coast

jritch — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 01:18:32 +0000

Documentary filmmaker James Fox recently tried to get some footage of the oil slick as it impacts the Gulf Coast beaches and found some interesting stories from the locals. James reports that people there are scared, being arrested and that there are evacuation vehicles on-site preparing for mass forced migrations. Of course, those migrations will be necessary if there are plumes of hydrogen sulfide washing ashore.

Listen to the interview and judge for yourself.

What we do know is that BP is hiring mercenaries to secure the coast of Louisiana. Wired has more info on the situation,

the aliens we’ve been looking for might just be inside us

Supernatural by Graham Hancock (2007, Disinformation Company)

Graham Hancock is the king of speculation. His books will either convince you there’s a lot more to human history or make you scoff at his possibly outlandish ideas. Regardless, it is damn entertaining. One of the first books I ever bought was his Fingerprints of the Gods (1996) which discussed how anomalies associated with ancient monuments tend to indicate a wide-spread ancient advanced civilization. Even though I was intrigued by the way Hancock tied all those threads together I’m still deeply skeptical of his overall thesis. And yet, I’ve been completely hooked by his 2007 book Supernatural. This one is deeply convincing because anyone can follow his thesis with a little supplemental research. Using the bitterly accepted idea proposed by anthropologist David Lewis-Williams, that ancient art depicted what early humans saw in altered states of consciousness, Hancock weaves a story that gets at the very heart of what it means to be a member of our species. Where academics might be starting to accept Lewis-Williams’ idea, they are far from ready to use the same plants and rituals that produced these early trance states. This is where Hancock picks up, by starting taking the iboga vine, the plant that enables men to see the dead, and follows with the sacred ayahuasca brew of the Amazon.

Where I’m sure I would have been more sympathetic to Hancock’s other works if I had actually been to the monuments he describes, I can follow the writing here because of my own exposure to these ancient plants. Before I knew the themes and details in this book, my own experiences were eerily similar to those described in Supernatural. I’ve been the archetype of the wounded man and had interactions with serpents. Reading the story of someone thousands of years ago describing something that happened to me (along with its “mystical” significance) is a chilling synchronicity. Hancock’s sketch on p. 52 of the beings he encountered while doing his field research were exactly the same things I’ve seen, and as I learned by reading, have been seen for thousands of years by scattered native groups across the world accessing these same states through various means.

Hancock ties the similarities of the modern UFO/abduction phenomena to experiences that indigenous tribesmen have in altered states to the mythology of the medieval fairies. In doing so, he uncovers that throughout human history our species has been describing the same thing from different angles. Whatever this phenomena is, it appears to be changing over time, evolving and advancing. Hinting at a form of intelligence. All of these encounters have similar themes, particularly in encountering entities with an interest in human sexuality and reproduction mechanisms. That fairies allegedly impregnated and abducted women or danced around in circles to fly into the sky draws more than a few parallels to modern UFO lore. While the case Hancock lays for these similarities takes up the first half of the book, it is in the second half of Supernatural where the mind gems really shine through.

All human languages have a direct, exact, unvarying mathematical relationship between the rank of a word and the actual frequency of occurrence of that word. This relationship is known as Zipf’s Law, named after linguist George Zipf and has proved to hold true for every human language. Oddly enough, when the non-coding regions of DNA are analyzed according to Zipf’s Law a perfect linear Zipf Law linear plot emerges. In fact, the chemical “writing” of the non-coding regions of DNA appear to have all the features of a language, and may in fact be a language. Perhaps it is this language that ancient plant based sacrements tap into. Hancock brings to light the evidence that our interactions with ‘the other’ could be enabled by ancient plant substances because these chemicals allow us to access information encoded in the 97% of our DNA we currently think of as ‘junk DNA’. Further work in this area was done by Dr. Jeremy Narby in his book The Cosmic Serpent, which Hancock touches on briefly, specifically regarding the presence of snake constituted helixes in nearly every culture. That the snake in mythology is often a reference to DNA.

Since Hancock published Supernatural, the knowledge that Francis Crick discovered the shape of DNA while using LSD has become widely known. What is less well known is that Crick later published a book where he explains that DNA is so complex no mechanism of evolution could have produced it on this planet, concluding it must have originated elsewhere in the universe. Strangely, the mythology of many tribes in the Amazon tell the exact same story, of serpents falling from the sky and living inside us. While anthropologist Michael Harner ingested ayahuasca in 1961 he reported seeing, “dragon-like creatures that came to earth from deep in outer space after a journey that had lasted for eons.” These dragons explained that they hid in the multitudinous forms life and that humans were the receptacles for these creatures. Similar encounters have been described by other scientists ingesting these ceremonial brews and ancient cultures are inundated with related stories. Hancock hesitates from drawing any sort of conclusion other than that these ancient myths and timeless sacraments may be far more interesting than we could ever guess. Personally I agree.

Even stranger is that psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) is essentially orally active DMT, an indole compound with a phosphorylated functional group which exists nowhere else in nature. If this pattern exists nowhere else in nature, where could it have come from? What if the alien we’ve been searching for has been here inside us all along? A chilling prospect to consider, but after reading through Supernatural you’ll be forced to confront this possibility in all of its grandeur.

let’s talk about orbs

jritch — Thu, 06 May 2010 16:00:37 +0000

The mystery of the orbs is an interesting one. Some speculate that we are living with a sentient life-form we aren’t aware of, others may say that human consciousness has been harboring a psychological symbiote which we’re only now learning about. Others will tell you that its all pranksters modifying video. And the most likely explanation is that its just optical phenomena caused by specks of dust.

However, I don’t see how we can dispute this. What is it? Some sort of protoplasmic life form? Crop circles are often formed in the presence of such glowing balls. Could the circles be a method by which they communicate?

Speculation aside, here’s a new orb video from the UK:

human energy energy generation

jritch — Thu, 06 May 2010 04:39:46 +0000

Why am I researching solar panels when we can just use humans? This Georgian man can use his highly anomalous electric field to illuminate handheld fluorescent lamps.

The best part: “I’ve been sitting here forever trying to light this lamp… and obviously failing miserably”

The expert at the end is clearly believable because an organic molecule is behind him.

One day, it starts as a minor discovery. The next? We’re sitting in liquid vats harvested for our energy. I’ve got my eye on your evil plans robots.

excited about the Montauk Chronicles

jritch — Tue, 04 May 2010 18:06:51 +0000

MONTAUK CHRONICLES

A FILM BY
CHRISTOPHER P. GARETANO

It has been referred to as “Area 51 east.”

Montauk is a remote U.S. town located on the very eastern tip of Long Island, New York.

High on a hill above the rocky waters of the Atlantic Ocean looms a giant rusted radar tower. It’s a ghost relic of the past that local fishermen use as a marker to help guide their ships safely to shore. The old military tower is also a landmark for what once was an active Camp Hero Air Force Base.

The base has a recorded history that dates back to the revolutionary war. During world World War II Camp Hero was used as a defense station and was equipped with giant mark seven cannons that were loaded and ready in the event of a Nazi attack.
There are those who say that in the 1970’s the base was used for a much different purpose.

Montauk Chronicles is the story of three men who claim they were brainwashed and forced against their will by a clandestine organization to take part in secret experiments. Evil atrocities are said to have occurred deep beneath the surface of the Camp Hero Air Force base.

Alfred Bielek, Stewart Swerdlow, And Preston Nichols all tell tales of experiments that were conducted on nearly one hundred thousand people over the course of about ten years.
Kidnappings, murder, torture, time travel, mind control, and extra terrestrial contact are all said to have occurred at Camp Hero.

Montauk Chronicles is the very first and honest (cinematic) examination of the Camp Hero Legends.
It raises many questions of our place in the universe and what the future may hold for humanity.
It’s an entertaining journey into the unknown and a study of fear, lies, paranoia and the truth.

the legend and achievement of the Codex Gigas

jritch — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:00:13 +0000

Sometimes a member of our species accomplishes something so amazing it defies comprehension. The Codex Gigas is one of those cases. A 165 pound, three foot tall Bible which which includes additional books and tracts along with numerous complex drawings and the image of a demonic looking figure. The manuscript includes illuminations in red, blue, yellow, green and gold. Capital letters are elaborately illuminated, frequently across the entire page. The codex has a unified look as the nature of the writing is unchanged throughout, showing no signs of age, disease or mood on the part of the scribe. No corrections are made in the entire text.

A single person wrote this entire complex book, illuminating characters with beautiful colors and creating these drawings, without a single mistake or sign of fatigue.

Legend has it that the Codex Gigas was written by a monk who broke his monastic vows and was sentenced to be walled up alive. In order to forbear this harsh penalty he promised to create in one single night a book to glorify the monastery forever, including all human knowledge. Near midnight he became sure that he could not complete this task alone, so he made a special prayer, not addressed to God but to the fallen archangel Lucifer, asking him to help him finish the book in exchange for his soul. The devil completed the manuscript and the monk added the devil’s picture out of gratitude for his aid.

It is also speculated that the inscription of various exorcism spells is the monk trying to exorcise the devil out by himself. (Similar to monks who sinned, and were punished by having them write out the Bible by hand, as it was believed that God’s goodness would be transferred to them by doing that.)

the spiritual experiences of Blaise Pascal

jritch — Sun, 02 May 2010 23:06:00 +0000

I’m always interested in the spiritual experiences of thinkers past. Many of the people who founded the very basis of Western society, received their inspiration from supposed, “spiritual beings”. Blaise Pascal provides another example. Pascal is best known for scientific contributions like the principle of hydrostatics, known as Pascal’s Law. In math, Pascal helped develop probability theory and also made a very large contribution to the understanding of infinite series and to the geometry of curves. But later in his life, Pascal had a sudden religious conversion. During the night of the 23rd to 24th of November 1654, he was accompanied by a lighted vision which he interpreted as fire which brought him the total conviction of God’s ‘reality and presence’. After this point, he devoted the rest of his life to understanding religion.

A recent neuroscience paper aims to interpret his religious experience through migraines. Regardless of the source of the experience, Pascal’s case is yet another example of a highly rational and developed scientific thinker having an amazing spiritual experience which changed his life.

photo of a time traveler in 1940s British Columbia?

jritch — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:33:05 +0000

The photo below from the virtual Bralorne Pioneer Museum in BC has an interesting anomaly. Sunglasses and a printed t-shirt in 1940? What is that device he’s holding?

Why would he visit the re-opening of the South Fork Bridge?

You can look through the collection of photos and see for yourself. He could just be way ahead of his time on fashion, because he’d fit right in on the streets of Vancouver today.

Who is that guy?
