The Rabbit Hole Express

A Very powerful video

2011-10-06T11:27:00.001-07:00

Today while catching up with my youtube subscriptions i stumbled across a 40 minuet video with a very powerful and honest speaker. i urge you to watch this in full.

What is happening?

A Slice life.

2011-04-27T02:15:00.001-07:00

He leaned against a tree outside the school, it was cold so he was wearing a long overcoat and a red desert scarf. His fingerless gloves where ideal in this situation, he could stay warm but still manage to tap the screen on his phone with a sense or purpose. This was mostly to make sure he looked busy, insuring that other parents would not feel the need to include him in their conversations.

He watched his daughter run about in the playground while he waited for the teachers to signal that school was starting when they would all scurry in to consume todays serving of knowledge.

He noticed a young farther in a business suit wondering over to him. This was an age old social dance that was in play, everyone wanting to get in conversation to prove to themselves that they where the most successful alpha male.

He took some headphones from his pocket and plugged them in as the farther got close enough to say “Morning”. The ruse had not worked, only one ear was being injected with the grunge tornado of Nirvana’s Bleach album, the other was exposed enough that he could not pretend he didn’t hear.

“Oh, Morning.” He replied, that’s when it started, the Q&A session to prove superiority,

“Did you go away over the Easter break?” asked the farther, “No”. The farther was hoping for this answer “oh right, yeah, Tina and i spent the weekend in the Cotswolds, took little Abby hacking”, “Sounds nice”.

“Looking forward to the wedding” asked the farther as if there was no point talking holidays because he had already won, “Not really my thing” – The wedding in question was a rather big talking point, some English royal prince was marrying a pretty young aristocrat, He failed to see the intrigue that everyone else did, if we lived in the 1800’s it would have been an awesome spectacle that people travelled to see as it was many people would get an extra day off work and have a party while watching it live on television, some would see it live on youtube from the office but that was the extent of the event. He planned on skipping the whole thing as much as possible.

The Farther had played the patriotism and holiday success cards so now he moved onto the Job card “How’s work going?” everyone knew that this farther was a well respected young hotshot in middle management. “It’s going okay, i keep busy”. The farther looked frustrated.

He had been dropping his daughter off to school once or twice a week for a few years now, he managed to avoid telling the competitive parents what he did for a living by waving his had and saying “this and that” dismissively every time they asked the truth was that he worked for a logistics company tirelessly working an administration role with some really nice people.

He didn’t tell many people the truth of this, not because he had any shame. he liked his job and all those people he worked with and was proud that he provided for his family but the question was always phrased in a way that bothered him “What do you do?” he worked at a desk. but “what do you do?” was a profoundly deeper question. What he did was work when he had to to earn money for his family, when not doing that he wrote and played games and recorded podcasts and wrote blogs. What he did was exist with a passion for creativity and a love for story’s that manifested as a serious video game love. The socially expected response was “i work in logistics” – screw that.

The teachers blew the whistle and his daughter waved with delight as she scurried into the prison like building in hopes of discovering wisdom, or as she was 6 maybe she wanted finger paints and cookies.

The farther waved goodbye and jogged with intent towards his sliver BMW where he would drive too fast to his place of work, a place where he would find no joy or delight, a place where he would wish moment by moment for release.

He, well, He turned up the headphones that where delivering Nirvana to his mind, he adjusted his gloves and buttoned up his overcoat, then he thought about all the things he could do today while he slowly wondered back to his house. the School yard was already empty, every one was in a rush to go somewhere. where where perks to having a weekday off work.

The walk took him about ten minuets, he burst into the house to be greeted by a dog that needed to pee a little more than usual. His wife was still sleeping. He opened the door for the little fella and hung his coat up on the rack, he unplugged the headphones from his phone and tossed it onto the fridge where it would live for the rest of the day. The coffee pot he had left filtering burped as the last drop fell from the machine into the large glass vestibule. He found his retro Pacman cup and filled it with swirling dark liquid. he walked up stairs and wrote this blog. Then as he typed ‘He’ became ‘Me’ and now I am sharing this little story of my morning with you.

It’s interesting how people are fascinated with each others lives but they are so quick to judge you for having interests that are not what is considered to be ‘normal’ i am often told my colleagues that i waste time playing video games while they feel no need to defend an evening of Coronation street and spooks. i find that my love of gaming and writing and sharing my thoughts gives me more satisfaction than any TV show.

I am also proud that my daughter does not sit staring a box in the corner of the room hour after hour, she interacts with her entertainment with youtube and educational websites. As such he is more inquisitive than other children of her age, she is interested in ‘doing’ things and not just letting things wash over her. she wants to play video games, play music and sit with daddy while we play LotRO together.

Life is good for me and i am sick of people asking about my world then judging me for it.

strangely this only happens when out in the world. Even with trolls and rage posters and all the angry people on the internet i am at least left alone to happily explore the digital frontier and share my blogs, tweets, vlogs and rants, some times i even meet a like minded person to come on this adventure with me for a while.

Be Creative, put a fish in a light bulb

2011-01-15T03:24:00.001-08:00

It has been said may times through the ages that true genius can be measured by a fish in a light bulb. No, that’s not true. Creative urges are something i have had throughout my life and even though i am not an artist or performer these creative urges have manifested in the form of maybe decorating a room or (like now) writing a blog.

With the Joy that can be found within our video games, the sense of satisfaction from a new character level to a completed challenge in paradise city i wonder how many potentially world changing ideas are not being manifested because of the high quality entertainment that we have access to.

I know this sounds like a random and strange idea but while playing video games or even watching a really great movie any creative urges (for me its writing) are simply lulled into silence for the duration.

Imagine if Einstein had not had that free time to think up the theory of general relativity because he was pwning n00bs in Halo. Does the world benefit from the quality of entertainment available to it? Buy maybe Hitler would have chilled the hell out had he been able to play SimCity 3000.

The amount of my free time i spend being creative vs enjoying entertainment is something that i am very aware of. i some times listen to audio such as gaming podcasts or Red-Ice-Radio speakers while playing Lord of the Rings Online to offset education/creative thinking vs mindless play. but what being said i sometimes stop a session of writing because its making me over focussed and just play Air Control HD for an hour.

I Wonder how many things would have been accomplished if people where simply bored more and had more time to think. All this said there is the idea behind the sand mandala, the idea that sometimes just creative thought and play are the best things for your mind and soul. some times its okay to just play.

I urge you to think about how much time you spend tapping your creativity.

Society stole my Henge.

2010-06-21T05:27:00.001-07:00

This weekend I made the trip to Stonehenge. i had never managed to make time to visit before even though i only live a little over a hundred miles away.

All the pictures on this post where taken by myself on my trip. as i approached the Henge i could not help but notice the lack of respect the visitors had for the monolith.

there where people from all over the world who had made the journey for whatever reason to visit this wonderful place and not to pay tribute of just to bask in its history but to take amusing pictures and run and shout. i was horrified at the way people conducted themselves in the presence of suck an historical and epic place.

its not entirley the fault of the visitors though, on the way into the field that houses the stones you are given a digital audio tour machine, its like a little custom build MP3 player with a man telling you all about supposed official history.

I can’t help but wonder if the flooding of such a site with the electronics and power inside the recorders is intentional. imagine the power you would be able to feel from such an old and important site without it being tainted by our technology and disrespectful tourists.

While looking at the Henge i failed at first to be moved and then as i found a quiet patch of the path i looked on and for a moment i imagined the thousands of years that they have stood there, looking on at the world, i remembered the story's i have heard about the place. earthquake predictions, tombs time travel devices, transportation circles and so many more ideas have developed from standing where i stood wondering why they where put there.

That’s when just for a moment in my mind, i was alone looking at an enigma that would outlast myself and even the silly little gift shop that was just a few meters away.

The stones are thought to outdate the great pyramids and be among the oldest man made (maybe) monuments on the world. i was standing in the oldest place my species has ever created. for that moment i understood how i was supposed to feel. then a loud tourist took an amusing photo of her friend acting like she was leaning against the stone (ah the joy of perspective)

I know that things can not be looked upon as sacred forever and i know that eventually the tourists will flock to anything interesting but i think the vision of stonehenge in my mind was the majestic ideal. the enigma that i barely felt and in my mind i will remember my visit as that.

Its a shame though, while i was down in the area i also took a visit to the Tor in Glastonbury and was moved far more by an old church on a hill than i was by ancient stones of mystery.

i think i enjoyed my hour at the Tor far more because there where no loud tourists or gift shops and i was able to focus on the sound in the air (and a very quiet place it is) and look at this strange ‘thing’ standing next to me on a hilltop.

both experiences where worth having and very different, i know that the thing that draws people to stonehenge is its fame more than its history. people don’t visit the Tor so much because its lacks the fame and the hill its really a long hard trek but it really it worth it as much as the henge at least.

anyway, i have things to do and a trip to reflect on. (podcast coming soon incase your wondering)

Humans can do awesome things.

2010-06-12T13:26:00.001-07:00

This video on you tube amazed me, this chap proves to me that when you put your mind to it you can defy gravity (well, almost)

Granted its not super natural or the usual RHE topic but skills this remarkable should be seen.

Book report- Emergency

2010-06-10T13:32:00.001-07:00

Recently i have read the Neil Strauss book Emergency. it was first lent to me by a friend. i was only two chapters in when it became obvious that i needed my own copy.

This is not my usual read. usually i read philosophical or scientific books so a book that is advertised as a survival manual is not something that i would usually pick up but this is one is very different.

its part the diary and thoughts of the author as he makes the change from music critic to survivalist covering his training and obsessions and in part its a tip guide for budding survivalists.

its much more of a story than it may first appear though and its very well written, Strauss tells the reader in great detail about his fear of terrorism, random events and the government and then catalogues his new skills.

although he passes many of his experiences on he does not divulge very much in the form of actual usable information. its really to be considered much more of a story than manual.

i would recommend anyone to read this book simply because it is such a great story at the same time it caters too the mind set of us paranoid folks exceptionally well.

Its not a David Icke style masterwork of paranoid philosophy but it is very real and very honest, an essential read.

Obama’s brother Samson Obama denied UK visa

2010-06-06T03:37:00.001-07:00

THIS IS FROM Panasianbiz.com – June 3, 2010

Samson Obama

Samson Obama, one of President Obama’s half-siblings, was refused entry to the UK due to false documentation. Apparently the president isn’t the only one whose documents are questionable. Samson was allowed to catch a connecting flight to the U.S. without officially entering the U.K.
There’s some rising buzz about Barack Obama’s brother Samson’s UK incident in 2009. The story is old, but is generating renewed interest.
According to BBC News, “A Home Office spokesman said Samson Obama was denied a visa after immigration officers noticed one of his documents was false. That led them to further inquiries.”
News of the World reports, “But eagle-eyed immigration officials at East Midlands Airport, using the latest biometric tests, discovered he was linked to an incident here last November. The hi-tech database revealed that Samson – who manages a mobile phone shop just outside Nairobi – was the same man arrested by British police after he approached a group of young girls, including a 13 year-old, and allegedly tried to sexually assault one of them.”
Further inquiries revealed that he was linked to a sexual assault on a British girl. He was questioned about the Berkshire attack, but not detained.
“He then followed them into a cafe where he became aggressive and was asked to leave by the owner. That’s when police were called and Samson was arrested.”

Another Spiral?

David Icke: Human Race Get off your knees.

2010-05-16T11:45:00.001-07:00

It was 6AM when my alarm began to make a noise at me, I was already awake and well on my way to the coffee pot.

I was making the pilgrimage to London to see the first talk of David Ickes new tour. i was accompanied on this trip by the only other person i know who would be interested, my mother.

We drove the 120 miles to London with ease but then when reaching the venue (Brixton Academy) realised that the closest car park was a £15 taxi ride away (as the local one was closed for maintenance) this is did not dent our resolve. soon enough (12PM) we arrived in the queue.

The atmosphere in line was fantastic there where all sorts of conversations taking place and a man playing guitar for charity, there where some people giving away copies of the UK-Column news paper (a great ready by the way, and only £5 a year subscription)

There was also a lady giving out flyers marked ‘Justice for Hollie Greig (www.holliedemandsjustice.orfg) – an important issue that has been ignored by too much by the mainstream news parasites.

There was also a well dressed man in a suit handing out leaflets about Christianity and how Mr Icke is ‘a’ or ‘the’ Antichrist (it wasn’t clear) the little article then went on to tell us that only by fearing and worshipping god can we be safe from evil. it gave us all something to read and kill the time with, it was really nice of the man and make a few of us chuckle (but the arrogance of religious converts is a topic for a whole other post) at the very least it was well written.

Soon enough we sitting down in the venue. the mumblings of the audience was a fantastic backdrop for the anticipation. Then, without warning our speaker emerged, within moments he was in full swing.

As the talk went on it picked up pace and there where many moments where he had to stop talking just to wait for the ripple of applause to stop. his message hit home for everyone!

i found it interesting that towards the end he outlined what he refers to as the wakening and made clear that there is no need for violence EVER and made sure to hammer home that racism or discrimination of any kind is wrong, for so many reasons.

As much as i would love to go into depth about the talk the content of the talk won’t. i don’t think I could do it justice but i will say that i have seen every one of David Ickes DVD’s and read 5 of his books and this talk was powerful in the extreme. Armed with the new information i left the venue feeling charged and positive but most of all i think everyone there felt empowered.

I got myself a copy of his new book before leaving and will start it on my next day off from work. this was a great day and its fair to say that David Icke is still the master of his domain and pushes the envelope with this thoughts. i wonder how long before he is proven right to the mainstream…

Mr Cameron, please, call me V

2010-05-13T08:47:00.001-07:00

Ah Mr. Cameron, you are a waste of human skin. how do i know? because you WANT to be PM. and don’t get upset by me calling you a waste of human skin either, its not you its your job track that i hate.

As everyone in England will probably we aware David Cameron has taken charge of the country as PM. the Conservatives party has don't a deal with the Liberal Democrat party to form a government after a rather complicated ‘thingy’ that no one understood resulted in ‘hung parliament’ whatever that means. so we are now faced with leadership from the ‘Con-Dem’ coalition. now you see the issue is that anyone who WANTS to be in charge of the country is a megalomaniac by definition and a party that will change its policies to fit with another party (that has incompatible policies) is a foolish megalomaniac.

We have two party leaders both megalomaniacs ready to show the other how Julius creaser felt that day and we are expected to think that they are the most qualified to run the country.

Here is an idea, lets put some one in charge who is not a megalomaniac and give them the mandate to ‘make life better for everyone and try not to screw up’ maybe at least then if that person screws up people will say ‘hey at least he had a go! its not like he/she ever claimed he/she knew what he/she was doing!’

These people who make a living out of trying to be in charge are not the people we should let be in charge. they are sick and need help. do YOU want to be in charge? no of course not, you KNOW your not qualified so why does some privileged private schooled power hungry smug git think HE is qualified? is there a class at school on how to lead a nation? if there was i am truly glad i missed it.

If Guy Fawkes tried that classic stunt now he would get the vote of every person in the country, at least he was trying to do something positive! no, i cant say that, blowing thing sup is never the answer, violent protest is never the answer but if all those people would just STOP VOTING or at least write ‘NONE OF THESE PEOPLE’ on that slip then at least we would have a chance of change.

I don’t think i need a leader, do you? i would still go to work and eat lunch and take a shower if there where no people in parliament, who needs them?, i just wish that they would stop going to war and taxing me to death.

I don’t vote, not because i am lazy or ignorant of the process, I don’t vote because i do not care who is in the ‘big office’ i don’t care because when given a list of crazed power mad liars i don’t care who of them get the job, put a single honest man on that list and i will move heaven and earth to cast my vote.

even when i cast my vote though the most popular people wont get in will they? i mean, with the hung parliament that we recently faced it was a game of percentages, most votes voted for other parties but because the combined strength of the Con-Dem’ed won out they got the office, must the larger percentage of people where divided and they got the job on silly pie slices not on sheer number of people on side. Maybe next post i will have a pie chart at hand but for now, do the math and you will see what i mean.

Now, people, if you care about your country stop voting and read ‘V for vendetta’ at least then you will be as angry and cynical as me.

Size matters

2010-05-02T06:59:00.001-07:00

This morning i sat and watched a movie with my daughter, the movie ‘A Bugs Life’ is about the battle between ants and grasshoppers.

As the movie unfolds the hero, a little geeky ant travels to the bug city, the city is a vast metropolis built from old packaging and cans. the streets are filled with all sorts of bugs, the movie even shows roads where the bigger bugs ferry about the smaller ones like busses and taxi’s. The traffic lights are made from twinkling Christmas decorations and bubs.

The whole city is under a single caravan in the middle of a corn field no more than a few meters away from the ants home, but to the ants, its a vast adventure away.

Later in the movie the bugs hide from a bird in the vast canyons of a dried out river bed. To the bugs however the riverbed was truly a deep network of caverns like the grand canyon.

Although it is only a children's film the idea of a whole world and a whole society that exists within our own without us knowing about it is a strange one.

The idea captivated me for the duration of the movie. The same idea can be applied to real life too, when philosophers and free thinkers like David Icke and Neil Kramer speak about the hidden world and the veil that separates us movies like this at least for me really hammer home the concept.

there are many great video’s on youtube that hammer home the point that we are small. in the grand scheme of things we are tiny, less than one of those ants in the movie.

if you think about how vast the cosmos is and how we are all clinging to this ball of mud that is hanging in the vast openness of space we are nothing. So when some one says that something is impossible or that we know everything about reality i am forced to remember that little ball of mud spinning about in the dark and i can it ‘fixes’ my perspective.

and this blog was formed while watching a kids movie. maybe there is more going on here.

Rise of the electric shaman?

2010-04-20T13:08:00.001-07:00

Today I was listening to a documentary about shamanism. The thing in specific that interested me was talk about mind altering substances that allow access to different levels of reality.

As I understand it, not all shamans use psychotropic substances some use drums and dance or even fasting to obtain the altered mental states needed.

I listened to the man on the radio talk about the process of trance that overtakes a shaman as he works and I couldn’t help but think that I knew what he was talking about a little better than maybe I should.

Now, I have never taken psychotropic's but I did know what he was talking about. you see, i play video games, i play them allot and some times i play them late at night way more than i should. Last Halloween of all nights i was playing the well known Team Fortress 2. The game is a first person shooter, its done in a comic book style, it has very bright colours and is played very fast.

That night as I played the game in the dark while tired something happened to me, and I suspect i am not the only one that has experienced it. the game became crisp and sharp and everything else dropped away into the background. gamers call it playing hard but i think its more than that, i think at that moment when you realise you are being consumed for that instant by the totally overlapped reality of the game, i think that that is the beginning of a shamanistic experience, i know that the place a shaman goes is far more intense than the video game induced trance but i can see the course and i think that anyone who has played guitar hero for any length of time knows what i am talking about here.

please excuse my babbling but this is an idea that has been forming for a few days now.

If everything shamans go through is to change consciousness and access other levels of reality then maybe its not to strange to use video games for this, maybe the repeated actions and light movements are ideal for the level of focus that may change your state of mind.

jut like dance or music video games give your brain something to focus on while your soul adventures.

are there other ways to free your mind? is electricity and the great inventions that it powers a new tool for the shaman?

Remember the hippies?

2010-04-11T04:25:00.001-07:00

The Hippie movement started in the early to mid 1960’s originally in America but soon like all good ideas spread to more countries very quickly.

THIS page on Wikipedia has some great historical information about the movement.

As the 60’s faded so did the movement and most the hippies got jobs and became respectable members of society. To this day there are dedicated believers in the ideals as well as stoned teenagers who think they are making a statement and hippy hating jokes that for some reason appear to still be relevant.

The movement was born out of dissatisfaction with society, government and the state of the world in general. the Hippies stood for change, honesty and wanted a revolution, a revolution of the mind.

The Hippy mind set is still alive and well on the internet with the Open source software movement headed up my many an aged hippy.

I must apologise for rambling on but my thoughts turned to hippies recently when the rather controversial Digital Economy Bill was passed recently over here in the united kingdom, i wont go into any great detail about the bill but it puts things in place that tighten the controls over digital copyright as well as putting more stress to internet service providers to enforce the existing laws.

it’s a strange thing because the DE Bill introduces a strange dynamic because it is a law that has been forced through by an industry and serves to do little other than highlighting existing laws.

it is in short the first step towards the death of creative freedom on the internet. soon enough there will be procedures and fee’s and contracts even to blog. it is the end game, assuming your guilt of copyright theft, guilty until proven otherwise. this will reduce the numbers of people contributing to the internet as a whole.

so, my question is, where have all the hippies gone? the world is in a much worse state now than when it was in the 60’s and with wars declared on phantoms, politicians taking it upon themselves to enforce laws that protect the music industry what can not protect its own products. lies, tyrants and oppression is everywhere. We are in short due for that revolution of the mind now more than ever.

In the 60’s the movement did not spread as widely as it could have done because so many people where against the idea of creative and spiritual freedom. this time however its 2010 and everyone i know at work and in my personal life wants change and freedom so come on hippies, save us. I am not convinced that there is a more qualified group anywhere.

Sherlock Holmes, agent of propaganda.

2010-03-21T09:17:00.001-07:00

Recently I saw the Guy Ritchie directed rendition of Sherlock Holmes. Before I go on I should say that I get yes, there will be some spoilers in here some where.

IMDB link

The movie's plot is in brief the story of a secret society within the government, and a rogue member who wants world domination. - that was the very short version.

I of the things that bother me with the story is that when Holmes is told that there is a secret society that is at work to steer mankind's destiny and is inside every major portion of the government he does not respond with anger or surprise, he is in fact quite calm about the hole thing and takes the task of tracking and stopping the rogue member.

Is it just me or is Holmes a little miss-guided I think maybe he was supposed to be outraged and try to expose them.

Then later in the story we see our loved detective actually perform a black magic ritual, he then has a vision that leads him to solve the while case. There is also a constant stream of symbolism in the story that even though does fit the plot it's there, its blatant and it is not kept secret from the characters in the story.

I am worried about this masonic/secret society propaganda and how even the main paragon like hero of the story does not flinch at its existence, its not okay to use secret society's to influence world politics. Do you really think that this is what Arthur Conan Doyle had in mind when he wrote the original work?

Give it a watch and then give it some thought, you may, like me decide that its a little creepy.

some times its all in my mind?

2010-03-20T16:25:00.000-07:00

On an almost daily basis I am told that I am paranoid. I'm not saying that I'm not paranoid but I think I have reasons to be a little worried. As do we all.
Recently I have been entertained and educated by people talking about social conditioning through the media. Have you ever thought about what you are watching when you see a movie? A good example of what I am talking about is how in the star trek movie's the whole universe is ruled by a morally perfect military class system. Or how in 'Battle Star Galactica' its the evil Cylons that believe in a single god and the 'good' humans are into polytheisms.

Also if you do some digging you will find that the X-files spin off show 'the lone gunmen' has an episode dedicated to the idea of terrorists flying planes into the twin towers, with the blessing of the government, and this episode aired years before the real event.

There are elements of truth hidden within these things, I have never come across an explanation of this that I have really believed but it happens, and today I came across a great example of it

http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/19032010/36/police-robocop-s-car-0.html

the above is a link to an article that I found through twitter. You see the movie robo-cop was set in the not-so-distant future where private company's ruled pretty much every aspect of our lives through contracting. There was also a cyborg police officer but that's not the portion of the plot that I am interested in at the moment

when the movie was made they chose a specific variant of the ford range of cars to use a cop-cars in the story. Its the only time these cars have been used for this purpose, until now that is.

It was announced that in the coming months the police will be rolling out in the exact same variant of police car as the ones used in a now old movie.

Maybe pretty soon we will all be ruled by a military class system and worshipping Apollo. Never mind though, its probably another coincidence, as if!

watch me poop?

2010-03-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

Grace academy. you have probably never heard of it.

its a sixth form college in an area of Solihull/Birmingham called Chelmsley Wood, its an area with a high crime rate and this has been the excuse for the 'people who make decisions' to put camera's in the toilets.

That's right folks, they can watch you while you pee or, err poop. well, that is assuming your a younger person in education.

the faculty are officially claiming that the camera's are not 'active' however as the school is up the road from some relatives of mine who talk to lots of people I can say with all certainty that that is not quite true they have been trialling the cameras since day one of the installation.

its shocking, culturally alone a washroom/facility is a private area. a place off the radar and most importantly gives you some private time, to err... empty your self as well as fix your makeup and straighten your hair.

on a personal level i think that putting camera's in toilet area's is a disgusting and gross tool for perverts. it should not be allowed. ever.

everyone who goes to this school should just stop going until the camera's are removed. acceptance and complacency is how this sort of thing happens.

its not good, it annoys me, and i would hope you aswell. we will be discussing it in our next episode of the Rabbit Hole Express podcast.

not dead

2010-03-13T09:32:00.001-08:00

just letting everyone know, have been busy in real life but have not faded away. more posts to come soon i promise.

also next episode of RHE should be on schedule too!

Rabbit Hole Express, Time shifting Shelf Stoppers and more strange in the Norway sky

2010-02-17T04:22:00.001-08:00

Rabbit Hole Express

Moscow Triangle an X Com problem?

2010-02-08T02:18:00.001-08:00

Remember the Moscow Triangle?

http://english.pravda.ru/society/anomal/18-12-2009/111237-ufo_moscow-0

Yes, that’s is but here is a better picture

Well, last year when i saw the footage of the Moscow Triangle something in my memory was twitching, a deep buried thought that has taken some time to surface.

Remember the X-Com series of video games? started with ‘UFO – Enemy Defence’ ? they where very popular when i was a teenager but the later game ‘X-Com Apocalypse’ is the one that was set in a city and in the introduction video there was a little sequence of a triangle appearing above a city. here is the video

YouTube
- X-COM Apocalypse Intro

The Part of the video that got stuck in my mind is 54 seconds in and ends at 1:08

anyway im not sure if its just me but there is something eerie about the whole video in relation to the Moscow event.

China’s doctors breeding a super bug?

2010-02-08T01:42:00.001-08:00

I know, its not funny to use sensationalist headlines but that’s what the Telegraph have done with this report

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/7168303/China-threatens-world-health-by-unleashing-waves-of-superbugs.html

From reading the article that i have linked above it is easy to get the impression that china is a backward country with bellow standard health care. well…. have you notices how there have been allot of anti-china posts all across mainstream media over the fast few months?

could it be that China’s industrialisation and moves to integrate into the global commerce has upset some people?

Anyway, i have been distracted from the topic at hand. China according to this article has over used antibiotics, recklessly encouraging the growth of MRSA type bugs.

just a thought but lets assume they have not done any of this because after all the Telegraph quotes a Swedish doctor no one has ever heard of as evidence

there are quality health care plans available in China including this company http://www.china-healthcare.us/eng/ who seem to be very legitimate.

the idea of a super bug that will kill us all has been in the psyche of the world for quite some time, with movies like ‘I am Legend’ and ‘Resident evil’ showing us mutating virus’s that destroy the world as we know it and often create an almost alien race of infected, then there was the talks of a world plague that the TV show Heroes pushed forwards a while back with on of their ‘five years in the future’ episodes.

it looks to me that Hollywood and the news media are trying to firmly implant a fear of sickness into everyone and now China is going to be the next ‘movie’ to scare us all…. well, i don’t buy it, the Chinese are probably guilty of a great deal of things as are we all but to pump this kind of hate mongering speculation is just silly.

My point is, lets not bash them for this just yet, after all since the H1N1 circus has left town the media are looking for the next opportunity to print ‘The end is nigh’

Be Safe, Don’t Visit.

2010-02-01T12:09:00.001-08:00

Today I visited the George Eliot Hospital in the city of Nuneaton here in the UK.

Upon trying to get a parking ticket upon arrival i was greeted with a simple yet worrying message as the picture bellow shows.

you can Click for a larger version or see the closer picture bellow

My local Hospital, the place that my family would go in the even of an health emergency is in the middle of an outbreak of an RNA virus known as Norovirus, as soon as i returned home i checked the trusty internet for more information (link provided)

To be fair to the George Elliot hospital they do have a message on their home page regarding the issue.

it reads: “The Norovirus sickness and diarrhoea bug is currently prevalent in the community. Please help to minimise the risk of this spreading to our patients by refraining from visiting wards if you are feeling generally unwell, especially if you are suffering from diarrhoea or vomiting.”

I also found on the BBC news page a mention of the issue as well (only when i looked really hard that is)

now, my worry is that my local news paper did not report the issue, there was not a warning given to the person that i was taking to the hospital either. so, you really don’t know about it at all unless you are buying a parking ticket.

wikipedia (my source for all things factual, for better or worse) has this to say

“Severe illness is rare: although people are frequently treated at the emergency ward, they are rarely admitted to the hospital. The number of deaths from norovirus in the US is estimated to be around 300 each year, with most of these occurring in the very young, elderly and persons with weakened immune systems. Symptoms may become life-threatening in these groups if dehydration is ignored or not treated”

So, it kills 300 people each year in the US, correct me if i am wrong but if you take away those who had ‘underlying heath problems’ from the H1N1 deaths and i think you may find that the Norovirus is at least as worrying as swine flu, yet there's no talk of it my my local paper and there is no Tamiflu equivalent on offer (thank the maker)

here are some other quotes from the wikipedia article that i thought where worth pointing out

“Hand washing is an effective method to reduce the spread of norovirus pathogens. Sanitizing of surfaces where the norovirus may be present is recommended. Alcohol rubs are not very effective at dealing with Norovirus.” – that's comforting,

“the prevention of nosocomial infections involves routine and terminal cleaning.” – revolutionary advice, clean stuff!

A little more fringe for a moment

One of the other things that i noticed while reading about the Norovirus was that its ‘marketed’ as acute gastroenteritis that develops between 24 and 48 hours after exposure, however it is an RNA virus, and for anyone who is familiar with the writings of Micheal Talbot or even some of the newer David Icke books then you may recall that RNA is the tool that allows our DNA to decode the reality we live in, so isn’t an RNA targeting virus a worrying thing?

Tamiflu, pointless placebo or government provided killer? well, that's the topic on another post entirely but if you do some research you will find people who have already spoken in some depth about it (Alex Jones for one) my point is that the media could have latched onto this tiny little outbreak and screamed pandemic very easily, or is could have gone unnoticed or simply diagnosed by the hospital stall as a H1N1 outbreak instead.

Its interesting to see how things are handled by the media and by the NHS, but more importantly if its not safe to visit the hospital how is it safe to be in the care of the hospital?

Book Report: Valis, Philip K Dick.

2010-01-11T16:02:00.001-08:00

Valis By Philip K Dick

I have literally JUST finished reading ‘Valis’. I have consumed it in just a few days. I do not read allot of fiction and would usually not write a ‘Book report’ about it but this is a little different, was first pointed in the direction of the book when listening to an interview with Neil Kramer on Red Ice Creations Radio.

The Book is something of an anomaly, I honestly could not go into any depth on it even if i tried but i would say that ‘Valis’ is not a science fiction book but instead it is a semi-fictional theological work where a character searches for an entity that may or may not be god.

the story moves through themes involving the duality of time, popular culture and mortality.

It is a heavy read and in places appears to make no sense, the sense however is occluded by the drip fed nature of the story. If your interest is in the nature of reality or searching for higher meaning then its an amazing read.

Best Fit Theology.

2010-01-10T13:02:00.001-08:00

Best Fit Theology is the name i have given to a phenomenon i have began to notice in society.

I think its been around for a while now, but to be honest i am not sure, it would seem that rather than sitting down and having a good old think about the universe people would rather pick the religious system that best fits their life.

As you may have noticed i am breaking up the seriousness of this topic with random and amusing theological motivational posters. i think if anything this adds to the stoic nature of the message i am going to try and convey.

If you live in mainland England and come from one of those passively religious families you may consider yourself a member of the church of England or as is better known, a protestant.

if you come from a catholic family you will probably be less passive in your beliefs but still quite sure your soul is safe.

There maybe many Muslims, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists reading this but i have little experience in those faiths so i don't know for sure that you are all passively faithful and unquestioning. for the sake of argument I am going to assume if your honest that's probably how you are.

My quest here is to try and wake you up to something. and please excuse me here, as I am not a member of any religion (this will become clear later) and i think all of them are probably right. I think that belief in its most basic form is a wonderful thing. however i would like to ask a question.

Why do you think you are correct?

I know, its a bold question and whatever religion you are has thousands of years of history (maybe more, maybe less) and smarter people than I have been part of all of them.

I am not arguing that your system of faith is incorrect, or correct. i am simply asking you to have a go at seeing the other side.

if your a Christian (any one of the 30+ denominations that i am aware of) have you read the bible? have you read the work of the religious competition?

i think we owe it to our immortal soul to make sure its in safe hands. just because your family are sure that Jesus died for our sins why are you?

shouldn't you check, just make sure that your religion echoes love and salvation to YOUR soul?

I think that people, ALL people should read and learn and understand and question and never become blinkered by faith. its important in all religions to ‘love’ and what’s more loving than trying to understand, do you think any creator you may have will disapprove of a philosophical yearning that HE/SHE/IT put into you in the first place?

The native people of Australia talk of dreamtime, a concept that i am only familiar with in passing (at the moment, i will read more as soon as i have time) the basic idea as far as i understand is that the creator sends a part of himself to the earth to become a person and experience an epic story. then upon death that part of himself tells that story, then that shard may return to experience a new story or stay and be part of the creator again. its a wonderful idea, is it true? i don’t know but i would not tell some one they are wrong for believing this.

I heard a historian named John Anthony West say something the other day on a radio show i listen to that made me think. i can not remember the exact wording but he said this

If a life that lasts one minuet is born at night in a storm it will never know there is anything else, when he his told of a summers day he will this it is nothing but a legend.

yep, i think i nailed the basic point he was trying to make (my memory is rubbish when it comes to wordings, i remember the concept but not the wording)

The point he was trying to make was that even though you think you know everything about your reality its based on such as small moment in cosmic history that it may as well be that moment in a dark rainstorm.

There are many other more hip religions you should look into as well, granted some of them are bonkers. That faith of the Ceiling cat who is locked in an eternal battle with basement cat

Don't forget the secret cult of the Flying Spaghetti monster, and the crazy ‘Last Tuesdayism’

yes, there are many choices but why stop at one. but what ever your do, please have a think about it, and never tell anyone they are wrong, that's just rude.

So, I have prattled on for quite a few badly assembled paragraphs now, and bashed theological complacency for long enough.

you’re probably wondering what i believe by now. a while back (years in fact) i was thought i was a child of the pagan mysteries, then i thought that Buddha was a safe bet. Time passed and i followed the breadcrumbs of my ideas, threw some out, got some new ones and at this moment i think that the universe its self it a/the (G)god (not sure on capitalisation in my soul or in that sentence) i think that time is probably a lie and we are all part of it.

I also think that Bill Hicks had it pretty close when he said this back in 1989

“we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves”

I follow no religion so i have no bias. That being said i may have one one day, that's cool, after all in the end no matter what you think of your creator he still thinks your pretty cool, unless there isn't one, or he is you…. but you get my point.

Ill leave you with this random song lyric….

Did music save your immortal soul, my my, miss american pie… [some other lyrics i cant remember] and i knew i was out of luck the day the music died.

the White wolf secrets.

2009-12-30T06:34:00.001-08:00

Over the Xmas period I have spent allot of time thinking about hidden information, I wont bore you with how i got on this track but it started when I tripped over a picture of Saturn's moon Mimas

As you can see there are similarity's within popular science fiction. of as I said when I first saw a photo of it from this angle "ITS A DEATHSTAR!"

Being a person who follows the trail of clues where ever I find them I began to read up on these apparent coincidences and eventually remembered something I read in a 'role playing game book' called 'Mage: The Ascension' by White Wolf Publishing

Wikipedia has this to say "The basic premise of Mage: The Ascension is that everyone has the capacity, at some level, to shape reality. This capacity, personified as a mysterious alter-ego called the Avatar, is dormant in most people, who are known as sleepers, whereas Mages (and/or their Avatars) are said to be Awakened. Because they're awakened, Mages can consciously affect changes to reality via willpower, beliefs, and specific magical techniques."

The game is very complex and also enjoyable, i played it briefly when i was in my pen and paper role playing phase a few years ago. at the time i was hooked on the concepts that the game put forward.

The game is based on the idea that consciousness is supreme in all things and that although it is bound by the rules of existence it can overcome those rules by bending them enough to accomplish impossible feats.

A we know for some of the writing from many of the most well known theorists and alternate thinkers who populate the internet, reality is indeed a hologram or an energy field and imagination is the projector.

The Mage role-playing game (Book) puts this idea across in a wonderful way and it worth reading for anyone who is interested in the nature of reality, however the thing i find interesting that that a book that is basically aimed at imaginative teenagers has encoded into it some of the most controversial and enlightening ideas that have ever been discussed, granted they are simplified and twisted but the idea's are there.

how did this information end up encoded in a book (that was only written in 1993) and stay so covertly under the radar of so many people?

Is this the work of an elusive white Brotherhood who is trying to ascend and educate the world or is it another case of the forces often called the Illuminati embedding the secrets of the world in places that devaluate them?

Aside from this book there are so many other places in popular culture that clues have been left that you could never list them all, even if you saw every motion picture ever made the clue are so distorted that they offer no real enlightenment but if you are already a seeker of knowledge and new idea's then there are many worth watching.

The Matrix Trilogy is obviously filled with symbolism of this kind and is a wonderful metaphor for the way reality works on so many levels, its so overt and lavish in this film that i am shocked there are not religions based on its teachings., there are so many other movies to think about but I'm sure anyone reading this post blog already knows that.

my point as a whole though is that however this information gets into our minds, it is in there, and we owe it to ourselves to pursue it and evolve from it. there are many wonderful blogs and websites that will explain for more eloquently than I can, you just need to look.

Another planet you say?

2009-12-17T01:12:00.001-08:00

Interestingly enough scientists (yes those nameless and faceless people known simply by job description) have found an earth like planet

The full article is here: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/16/super.earth.discovery/index.html

apparently the super earth is 2.4 times larger than our own and orbits a smaller sun, the planet was discovered using a 16inch telescope on the ground not the Hubble monolith. so, this discovery could have been made years ago, but wasn't…

my question is this, are we going to hear of more and more earth like planets that are closer and closer? is the idea that we are alone in the universe simply going to fade away and is this the tiniest step in the direction of disclosure?

secrets on sale.

2009-12-08T10:18:00.001-08:00

here we go.. i am about to write an objective and ranty article, i’'ll try not to but when freedom falls away like thawing ice i have to wonder why we put up with it.

Do you know what your civil liberty's are worth? well the high profile search engine and community tool provider Yahoo does, your civil liberty's are worth precisely $10.

oh, an i am not just saying this of course. here is the proof.

http://cryptome.org/yahoo-price-list-letter.pdf

and the site that unearthed this little gem is here http://cryptome.org/0001/yahoo-cryptome.htm with all the little details.

you see all service providers are required my international laws to give out the details of their clients to the police upon request. so, next time you send an e-mail of give details to a sign up page for a service remember, your seeding a paper trail.

now, i am not against bringing criminals to justice, i think anyone who is committing a crime deserves to be caught but with the raised stakes for P2P file shares and copyright infringers being criminalised every day for using alternate services i have to worry.for just $10 an innocent e-mail could be used against you.

My point with this post is to raise awareness that your trusted ISP or mail host is not going to help you of protect you if the increasingly fascist styled thought police come sniffing, no, they are going to sell your privacy for just $10, we live in wonderfully liberated times, unfortunately the liberation of scum comes at the price of freedom for good and honest people.

Thanks yahoo!

(information origionally broke over at http://www.downloadsquad.com/ i hope they dont mind me borrowing the image, $10 and they can come arrest me)

Be paranoid, Be safe.

2009-12-03T02:23:00.001-08:00

okay, i know you use the internet. i know you do. do you know that your computer even WITH a fire wall will basically tell everyone who asks all about what your downloading?

i know, i sound like one of those information giving commercials but if you ever visit sites that offer Torrents (even legitimate ones) then you should look at this little gem i found.

http://www.peerblock.com/

the above link is for a program that blocks specific things from your intent connection, like P2P spies, and government agencies.

if people like us who are interested in our freedom we should have the tools to protect ourselves.

its not as easy to set up as they make out but if you dig about that website i linked you will have all the information you need to be more secure on the internet.

Book Report: The Atlantic Blueprint

2009-11-24T03:23:00.001-08:00

I picked this book up after it was recommended via a guest on Red Ice Radio and I finished reading it a fortnight ago.

anyway I present to you my thoughts on the book more than a review.

The Atlantis Blueprint by Rand Flem-Ath and Colin Wilson.

HERE is the Amazon website link.

The book is based on what appears to be hard research and all sources are given at the back. the basic topic is the idea that civilisation is far older than mainstream history leads us to believe with a global sea going culture. it then talks about locations of these lost civilisations and makes a very good case for the lost contentment of Atlantis being under the ice of Antarctica.

the book makes it cases very well but suffers a little but from having two authors who have differing writing styles, in placed they presented what seams to be irrelevant information and then later in the book switch from an anecdotal style of narrative to a more scientific one that throws the reader a little and detracts from the information being presented.

The information given in this book is excellent though and leaves little room for dispute. i was entertained how the authors where desperately trying not to confirm or deny concepts such as extra terrestrial interference in human history but it does appear that this is a very real possibility when you look at the facts but the writers really want to keep it to provable history and reputable theory.

I would say that all in all its an average read with an above average topic. i would recommend this to anyone with an interest in ancient history or Atlantis mythology.

Interesting things

2009-11-07T09:01:00.001-08:00

In a never ending quest to make people think about stuff i have found two interesting things that will make you think….. I think that made sense.

this is a 648 mega pixel picture of the Milky Way, you can thank physicist Axel Mellinger for the image.

The site that houses the wonderful creation is HERE but click HERE to go directly to the full super bandwidth intensive version.

The next item that i want to share is a story of how the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was shut down by the miss adventures of a local bird dropping stale bread into it, the article rather comically likens it to the rebellion destroying the Death Star in the movie Star Wars. anyway HERE is the article.

Thanks for taking the time to check the Rabbit Hole Express Blog and remember you can find our Podcast HERE if yo uhave an RSS reader (of you can directly download from there too) or on Itunes.

Book Report: Infinite Love is the only…..

2009-11-04T16:29:00.001-08:00

as a diligent blogger and committed seeker I have decided to start providing reviews of the books i read that maybe of interest to the RHE readers/listeners.

So, why wait any longer, here is the first one.

this is a short outline of the book. just to give you an idea about what its about.

Infinite Love is the Only Truth - Everything Else is Illusion: Exposing the Dreamworld We Believe to be Real

Written By David Icke

Amazon UK link

Okay, so first off, its not a new book, i never said i was going to be at the cutting edge but i did read it recently.

The book is a good and solid read, its what we have come to expect from David Icke, it starts by educating you briefly outlining the body of his work covering the global conspiracy and his views on reality and money

Gladly he short keeps this opening as anyone who has read his earlier books will have read this time and time again, the book then moves swiftly on to the nature of reality and is pseudo religious in its description of how reality its self was created but thankfully the author points out readily that this is his personally uncovered information and he does not think you should blindly believe him.

The main body of the book covers David Ickes concept of interdimensional entities controlling reality and goes into some depth about how reality is little more than a level of a 3D videogame, it does make sense as you read and some of the content is enlightening and almost awakening.

as i was reading it i constantly felt as if the book was going to unlock some deeper realisation than it did at the time, that being said however in the time since reading it i have found myself thinking about some of the ideas talked about in it, and that is the sign of a well written idea.

its the best David Icke book i have read to date and hopefully is work will move in that direction more and more, its deep and outlines some fantastic ideas yet still challenges you to question it. i would advice anyone with an interest in the big questions to read it.

Your Flu Vaccine

2009-11-04T15:11:00.001-08:00

some funny things from youtube that IS relevant.

funny AND true

thanks to my good friend Giblits for those links.

Its probably not what i think it is.

2009-11-04T14:59:00.001-08:00

Yes its an old image i know (sorry, its hardly news but some one may not have have seen it)

I found the following image on my internet based travels, its probably come kind of camera trick but none the less, its a sight to see.

(If you don't see it straight away its a ghost image of the twin towers and its above the lady in the red shirt)

If it is genuine then we have to look at interdimensional leakage but in my experience its rare that these things are genuine, usually some student and Photoshop. :(

Rabbit Hole Express

Episode 3, ‘Smoke signals’

Topic: Chemtrails, a discussion.

An opening statement:

when I started writing this I intended to write about global warming but then the universe got in my way, I kept seeing posts on the internet in forums and blogs about Chemtrails, then when seeing the most fantastic examples I have ever come across with my own eyes I decided to take the hint and dedicate my time to those little trails in the sky.

Its assumed by the uninformed that a Chemtrail is the natural result of an aeroplane flying at high altitude. This is not true, these are Contrails not Chemtrails, and they dissipate within a few minuets.

A Chemtrail is a trail that simply stays, and as its blown by the winds it spreads out wider and wider until eventually its vanished, a more innocent contrail fades from the far end to the closer. That's the obvious difference.

I first learned about this strange and worrying topic, as usual from the internet. I believe it was on Ross Hemsworth's forum that I saw it for the first time. Then eventually the rather fantastic 'Night Before' (no longer broadcasting) show on a my local radio station covered in some detail.

There seams to be a few schools of theory regarding this including plugging holes in the ozone layer, chemical population control, global weapons, making the sky.

Then there are the more popular theory's, the first is that some government agency is spreading chemicals into the atmosphere to in some way medicate the population without telling us. The other is that its a more advanced system for coating the atmosphere with chemicals that can be projected onto as the foundation for holographic illusions for Project blue beam (http://foxyurl.com/uIv) that the coating is in some way related to HAARP (http://foxyurl.com/uIw)

The official story.

The official story is that there are no Chemtrails, I am not sure what we are supposed to think when we see with our own eyes gridded patterns in the sky but we are assured by our government that they are not the fictional Chemtrails that we can see they are.

Wikipedia has this to say: In Britain, when the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs was asked "what research her Department has undertaken into the polluting effects of chemtrails for aircraft", the response was that "the Department is not researching into chemtrails from aircraft as they are not scientifically recognised phenomena"

well, I am glad we got that sorted. I can relax now. No point writing any further is there... well, actually, here are some examples of this not scientifically recognised phenomena that I found from google...

Here are some pictures I took with my little camera phone the other day.

View Full Album

so, these pictures are all normal contrails according to the British government, and the fact that I have seen similar things with my own eyes is not proof either, so. Lets see what happens if we ask them directly.

It seamed like the best place to start would be with British Aerospace. Wikipedia has an article about them here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Aerospace but it does not house an official website link or any contact details, that seams to be because since 1999 they have been known as BAE Systems plc.

That's a shock because I would swear that they have been referenced as British Aerospace in news reports many times over recent years. But this aside, they would appear to be the people I need to talk to.

Here's the letter I have emailed to them.

Sent to baesystemsinfo@baesystems.com

Subject: A question regarding contrails.

Dear sir/madam.

I have spent some time searching the internet for who to contact regarding aeroplane behaviour in my local area. No one at my local council appears to know who I should contact so my search (and wikipedia) has lead me to your organisation.

Could you give me more details or give the the contact details for some one who can give me more details on the contrails that aeroplanes leave in the sky often in gridded patterns that do not fade. This is known across the internet as 'Chemtrails' and I can find no reputable source that has a satisfactory response.

With thanks.

David smith.

When sending this I doubted I would get a response, and at the time of posting this blog (Weeks later) I do not have a response yet.

An obvious problem.

Considering the vast amount of talk regarding Chemtrails there is not that much actually 'said' the actual information regarding chemtrails is almost totally hypothesis. When it comes to this type of topic there is always an element of theory involved but usually there is a sliver of leaked fact or a drop of solid evidence.

We for certain the following:

Chemtrails are a real problem, anyone who looks up to see them in the sky knows that they are real, and by refusing to comment the government IS lying to us.

That's it, that is all we know for certain. There are story's of how the chemtrails are dropping traces of barium

(http://foxyurl.com/KiA) is supposedly proved. There have been cases of a spider-web-like substance giving people flu-like symptoms, this IS consistent with heavy metal poisoning but it has been isolated incidents and even though chemtrails where reported to be present, its unlikely that this is related (although with the H1N1 situation it maybe more likely than I first thought)

There appears to be little stock in the idea of them effecting weather patterns directly, I see no relation between chemtrails and cloud cover, rainfall or ambient temperature

Unfortunately with al the varying opinions and lack of any real hard investigation I do not see the point in expanding this article much past this point. I would really have love to have found more hard investigation as I researched for this article but there is little to go on, we can see the chemtrails but that's all we know.

Conclusion.

We are left with a single fact, chemtrails are real and no government body will acknowledge the existence of them, this in its self in my opinion is worrying. Its a shame more people don't look up.

On a personal level I believe they are in some way creating a canvas for a global shield (to defend from asteroids and aliens) or for projection (Project Blue-beam) to make that coming false flag event a little more convincing.

Hemp. Just a thought

2009-10-08T01:50:00.001-07:00

Hemp is an interesting plant, its also known as cannabis, marijuana, Mary Jane, dope, weed an another stack of names.

I am not in favour of people getting high twenty-four hours a day but if that's what people want to do then that's their choice. the governments of the world policing nature strikes me as a little crazy.

Hemp can be used to make paper, plastics, shampoo, rope and a stack of other things. and it grows fast. Hemp really could have us from our reliance of fossil fuels and forest felling.

for too many reasons its illegal.

why am i spending the time telling you this? well because today i read an article about how its the worlds favourite drug.

one article says the following:

“The government has spent millions trying to warn young people about the risks of smoking cannabis, but despite high-profile television campaigns, it remains the most commonly used illegal drug in the UK.”

i think its about time we stopped worrying about people getting high and started using this plant for fuel, paper and clothing. people get high why should we care about that? it happens, it always has.

anyway, there's a better discussion than this little post happening over on the David Icke forum.

RHE blog, in the company of kings.

2009-09-15T13:22:00.001-07:00

This is just a quick post to let people know that the last RHE topic blog (blog episode 2, vampires) has been read an apparently enjoyed by Mr Jon King, a man I have great respect for. The article has been reposted on Mr Kings website at the following address and is accessible form the front page.

Here it is: http://www.consciousape.com/discussion-topics/werewolves-and-vampires/

Thanks for reading folks, I know its not a massive step forward for RHE but I really does make me feel appreciated. Thank you very much for reading.

Derren Brown, its not magic you know

2009-09-12T12:12:00.000-07:00

Derren Brown predicted the Lottery numbers, then a few days later he claimed in a show on channel 4 that he accomplished it using the 'wisdom of the crowd' technique.

he claimed that he used 24 volunteers to guess numbers then used the average guess of each person to work out the lottery numbers. i have ready a few books on the power of the crowds influence is marginal at best and even then has a greater chance of working if the party's involved are open minded spiritual people. for a guess like this or for the guess to influence the result you would need far more than 24 people, you would also have to do allot of work to change their thought models.

then, at the end of the show he opens up the idea that he used a rigged set of lottery balls and a 'plant' in lottery HQ. again this IS silly, even more daft in fact because this would be a crime and he would not have been allowed by the BBC to do this on any level (after all they are in the trick to make sure that no rigging was going on)

Here is how I think it was done

He used a split-screen between a pre-recorded empty studio, shot on a motion control camera that was set to simulate camera shake and a live shot of himself in the studio with the exact same reproduced camera shake.

half the screen (left) was an overlay, as the numbers where read out some one put them on the balls, then as Derren approached the balls, he overlay was removed.

as much as i would love his 24 people guessed it with psychic powers of the crowd idea, i just think camera work was easier and made a safer bet for a TV show.

Blog 2, ‘Changing direction - Vampires'

2009-09-11T10:10:00.001-07:00

Rabbit Hole Express
Episode 2, ‘Changing direction’
Topic: Vampires, wonderful fantasy or real secret?

I once heard some one say that the reason that the reason they believe in the supernatural is because of the Catholic Church.

The church, they spent all that time all those years ago hunting for witchcraft. They burned countless witches and destroyed so many writings. They hunted every last wise woman and suspicious black cat. Once every trace of the old teachings was eradicated they stood tall and proud and announced that there’s no need to worry because there’s no such things as witchcraft so we cal all stop panicking.

This is the foundation of my interest in the supernatural. It is also the foundation of my ‘angle’ on this topic. You see, the way is see it is that the facts that are at hand are tainted, any evidence of supernatural ‘goings on’ is answered with a barrage of disbelief and much like people find reasons to doubt that man went to the moon because they find problems with the evidence, problems that for the most part are created with a point of view (see last Episode/Blog, I’m not taking sides here)

Much like with the moon landing, people who disbelieve the official story (the minority) have found evidence to prove it a lie (the majority) when it comes to the supernatural the same is true.

My perspective on this is different; let’s tackle this with an open mind. Let’s look at some ‘evidence’ and ignore the preconditioning that other people find, lets use our minds and try to think about something with a truly open mind.

Before we get into the main topic:
I think it is important that we look at some ideas and concepts before we get into the main topic, I am aware that a lot of my point here maybe initially random, but me in the end it will all come together.

Holographic Reality.

There is a wonderful book that I reference far more than I should; it’s called ‘The Holographic Universe’ written by Michael Talbot. Even though it goes a little strange at the end (still not sure that it’s in a bad way or not)

The book covers an idea put forwards by a minority of quantum physicists, it’s a rather complicated idea that I can’t really summarise in a single chapter but at its most basic level it puts forward the concept that everything we understand to be ‘reality’ is energy. Our brains then decode this energy in a way that allows us to understand it.

Yes, I understand that if you have never come across this idea then it will strike you as a bit strange. I wont try and go any deeper into the idea but I assure you the book has all its sources listed at the end and for the most part the ideas it pus forwards have a grounding in reputable (if fringe) science.

The information inside the book offers up some interesting concepts that become plausible once you take into account the main topic.

For instance, most people believe that the supernatural does not happen because they do not ‘see it’ but once you take into consideration that all things are made of energy that is decoded by your mind you must then accept that all things you ‘see’ are dependent on how good your decoder is.

There was a point there somewhere.

History is a liar.
Time after time history ill record an event in an incorrect way, some times due to genuine errors and a lot of the time because as I stated above those keeping the records had a set of beliefs to defend.

There is of course the old line first penned by the author Alex Haley, “History is written by the survivors.”
Remember, even though he is credited with this quote the chances are that he was not the one who said it first, he was the first well documented person to say it.

So as I delve deeper into the topic at hand I ask you as usual to keep an open mind and never trust any fact or record just because you’re supposed to.

Vampires:

Here we go, I have dodged the topic for far too long already. But where to start?

As usual, I think Wikipedia has a pretty good overview.

Vampires http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampires
Vampire folklore by region http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_folklore_by_region
Vampire Literature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_literature
Fictional vampires http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_vampires

As you read the above links please remember that they are written by people who consider the whole thing to be a work of fiction.

If you decide to Google the words ‘real vampires’ your not going to get many results that are of a good quality. Its worth reading anything you can get hold of for research purpose but a lot of people writing things titled ‘real vampires’ are just satisfying a fantasy, a gothic rambling.

In many ways I can see the appeal of the vampire myths, the literature makes them appear sexy, powerful and most appealing of all, immortal.

I enjoy those fictional works but I was forced to wonder where these ideas came from, why certain things are more prominent than others in the literature and most importantly, where is the real world inspiration?

As I researched the history I could not help but become fascinated with the sheer volume of fiction that surrounds all vampire mythology, from Bram Stocker to Bela Lugosi with cartoons and Halloween plays filling in the gaps we are surrounded with vampire story's.

In order to get a better understanding of all this i thought it was best to get a firm grip of the fiction fist, with a little help from the 1931 Bela Lugosi Dracula film and a thumb through the cliff notes of Bram Stockers defining work. all the fiction shares a gothic styling, even the vampires in the well known Buffy TV show have this gothic sexy aura.

while reading through the 'factual' history of the 'real' Dracula, or Vlad the Impaler as he was more formally known (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_the_impaler) it became apparent that the real man was nothing more than an inspiration for the more recent incarnation of the myth.

What we know for sure?
As I said earlier in this article, I am a very open minded individual, however I am not naive or stupid, so with my open mind in its most heavy effort to 'reach' for an answer I decided to break down the things we know about Vampires.

Sunlight causes pain: it seams that this portion of the myth comes from a rare disorder that seams to have quite a few names including photosensitivity. this results in rashes from being exposed to sunlight called photodermatosis. this can be a simple way to explain away how less educated people can mistake an unfortunate illness for a symptom of vampirism. Its also worth mentioning that there is a documented fear of sunlight called Heliophobia.

Vampires live for a long time and have super human abilities: I really tried on this one but there are no real links between the consumption of blood and enhanced life. if anything drinking the blood of people regularly would make you more prone to illness and all sorts of 'other' things. if its a more supernatural concept than I am able to understand and you add in the possibility that god created vampires to eternally walk the earth for their sins then i suppose it does fit with the myth.

Afraid of Garlic: it has been claimed over the years that Garlic is something that either causes pain to Vampires of the yare simply afraid of it, this seams to come from Rumanian folk lore about garlic keeping evil away, its also interesting that blood sucking parasites such as lice or ticks are less partial to hosts who ear allot of garlic, maybe that's the link.

Crosses and holly water are damaging: some myths claim that vampires where born from human sin, and that it is a curse given to men from god, so depending upon your point of view vampires are damaged by anything that is a tool of faith from any religion I assume. also, maybe its not even religion that's the issue, maybe its the power of faith in the person using the 'stuff'

Different types of Vampires: assuming you ignore the known fiction the topic of vampires is very diverse, different areas of the world have very different myths, everything from the Chupacabra in Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra) to the overly emotional Psychic vampires of modern culture.

Succubus.
once you think that there is a possibility that vampires and succubus are the same thing (both feed from human energy in one form or another) then the whole thing becomes even deeper. the succubus myth can be found in just as many cultures as the vampire myth and in many cultures (Islamic for example) its taken relatively seriously in comparison.

with a succubus being something that is not human and has never been human then those superhuman abilities that I discounted earlier are possible. if its not human then it maybe faster or stronger and may live longer naturally.

imagine an 'animal' you can not see that sucks your energy while you sleep, its scary and is the topic of a documentary called 'your worse nightmare' where they do a wonderful job of explaining everything from magical creatures to inter-dimensional beings.

Conclusion:
In my opinion it is unlikely that vampires are a fully recognised 'race' of people who live along side humans, assuming every vampire has to feed just once a week and there are a couple of hundred in every major city then there would be far too much evidence to conceal for any length of time.

That's not to say its impossible, it is in my opinion phenomenally unlikely but possible if they where all 'careful' and where assisted my government agencies then it is possible, but its a stretch even for me to believe it.

The other possibility I considered is that there are literally only one or two alive, and there has only ever been one ore two, why its this way I don't know, but its far easier for a smaller number to conceal themselves than a larger ever growing number.

I find it far more likely that the myth of Vampires comes from the Succubus legends, this explains why it appears in every culture, given how we as humans see reality then its completely possible that there are inter-dimensional beings in operation, after all a plant produces the Oxygen that we require to live, is it not likely that out existence sustains another creature? as for why we don't know about it, you have to wonder how aware of us those plants are.

20 minets of honesty?

2009-09-09T01:27:00.000-07:00

today infowars.com posted than article where Charley Sheen interviews (if fictionally) president Obama. have a long read, i am aware that this is many ways maybe a publicity stunt on the site of mr Sheen but its got some interesting things in it

http://www.infowars.com/twenty-minutes-with-the-president/

thanks to Alex Jones for making sure we get the chance to see these things.

I’ve just visited a website, and was offended by it.

2009-08-14T19:13:00.000-07:00

After listening to an episode of CoMutany (Scottish Gaming Podcast) last night I was shown the following link, http://www.thinkb4youspeak.com/TheCampaign/ and it offended me.

The campaign is ‘Think b 4 you speak’ oddly enough using a ‘4’ not a ‘before’ maybe they should have had a long think before registering that URL.

I am NOT homophobic or racist and when I really think about it I have no hate directed to any single group. As far as I am concerned ‘it’s all good’ I just don’t care about some ones religion, skin colour, culture or sexual preference.

When I say I don’t care, that’s not right. I am interested in people, and would love to learn more about people’s lives and beliefs. Ignoring people differences is in many cases just rude. It is good to learn, talk, share, cooperate.

So when I visited the above link I was confused, because the site seams to want people to hate gamers, cheerleaders and Jocks. I assume from the wording that the site has an American origin, and maybe there is a cultural difference I am unaware of, but this seams wrong on many levels.

Their posters make little sense and as far as I can tell ignore the real issue. It seams to say that its okay to hate Gamers, Jocks, Cheerleaders as long as you are leaving gay people alone.

Maybe they should rethink their posters and replace it with something that discourages hate no matter who it is directed to.

Don’t fall for this its social engineering at its finest. They defend one persecuted minority by highlighting others as potential targets. Its not right.

David Bellamy and Vampires, sort of.

2009-08-10T12:53:00.000-07:00

Some personal problems are making the next RHE episode late, I am very sorry about this but I’ll tell you know the theme is ‘the history of Vampirism’ as we wanted to diversify, the episode after that will be far sooner and will cover a topic that David Bellamy is quite well informed on.

Science catches up

2009-07-28T14:14:00.000-07:00

ah, isn't it wonderful when physics agree with 'us nutters' as usual, I expect this video will be taken off youtube soon, they are good like that.

well worth a watch.

Alex Jones thinks america is a nation of crack whores!

2009-07-22T03:57:00.000-07:00

Alex Jones Rant's really good.

you have to love Alex Jones, he ALWAYS says what he is thinking. I can see how in his like of work get gets to the point that he feels the need to use extreme 'hard talk' to get his message across.

[Episode 1]

Rabbit Hole Express #1, ‘Question everything’

In our first episode we are discussing the debate surrounding Apollo 11 and the conspiracies that shadow it. Does not get that heated as myself nor my cohost actually have any massive issues with the official story. My cohost thinks that its 99% true and I tend to this that we did go to the moon but we used more advanced technology. Anyway in this hour long show we talk about all the major arguments against the official version of events, more information available on the accompanying blog bellow.

Rabbit Hole Express

Episode 1, ‘Question everything’
Topic: 1969 moon landing, fact or fiction?

To coincide with the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing we have prepared the following blog (to accompany the first episode) I hope you will remember all this as you watch the documentary’s and news reports that will no doubt be all over television

The official story:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landings there’s also another great entry to be read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_exploration if you have time it’s also worth reading about Neil Armstrong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Armstrong

Wikipedia has this to say, but it is by no means the long version of the story

“The United States space agency NASA achieved the first manned landing on Earth's Moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission commanded by Neil Armstrong. On July 20, 1969, lunar module Eagle landed on the surface of the Moon, carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon, with Aldrin being the second, while Michael Collins orbited above. Armstrong and Aldrin spent a day* on the surface of the Moon before returning to Earth.”

*21 hours 31 minuets

The story is well known and has come to be considered a massive part of human history. In theory its one of the most amazing human accomplishments since the building of the pyramids (I’ll restrain myself here)

What most people do now know however is that the first moon mission (USA) was actually on 17 August 1958 and it was aptly called ‘Pioneer 0’ its mission was to achieve lunar orbit (the moon is named Luna, it’s a moon, its not named moon) this mission is documented by NASA as a Failure as a first stage explosion destroyed it.

The first mission that NASA consider a success was on 28 July 1964 and it was called ‘Ranger 7’ its mission was to crash on the moon and return photo’s, it did this successfully returning 4308 photos there where two more of these missions before things got ‘serious’ (manned)

The USSR on the other hand has a good lead with the first ‘Lunar Impact’ taking place on 12 September 1959 and the first photo of the far (dark) side of the moon on 4 October 1959.

1959, was the first time we got a bit of our crap to land on the moon (well crash anyway) that’s impressive when you consider that one of the movies around in September 1959 was ‘Zorro, the avenger’ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052424/) staring Guy Williams, a forgotten classic I’m sure.

What else do we know about the moon missions? Well we know that NASA lost the original tapes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_program_missing_tapes) that worries me a little bit. Possibly the greatest moment ever caught on camera and some idiot files wrong. That worried me a lot when I first read about it.

Another part of the official story is found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_17 it’s the story of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon and it was all the way back in December 7, 1972.

Missions to Mars:
With all this moon mission talk I almost overlooked the Mars missions. The first mission to Mars was the Mariner 4 project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariner_4) and it was launched in 1964 before we even got to the moon, you see that’s how you expect humans to do things, fast and efficiently. So what’s happened? We stopped going to the moon in 1972 so it’s a bit of an oddity that we are still trying to get to mars inst it?

Rather than going into massive detail here (as it’s not the point of this post/episode) I’ll just say that NASA and Russia have successfully got Landers on Mars and returned photographs.

The Conspiracy theory:
There have been people claiming that the moon landings where faked since about July 19, 1969 (see what I did there?)

The main reason that people had doubts to begin with was because of the simple fact that it was apparently done, on the first ever attempt, that in its self was an oddity, after all the titanic (an unsinkable ship) sank on its first voyage, the Wright brothers redesigned the first aeroplane dozens of times, but NASA built a ship that could go to the moon, and it worked first time. How many cars are designed from scratch, built then started all on the first try?

That in my opinion is the founding doubt that all that follows is grown from.

One of the better articles is found on Jon King’s site over at http://www.consciousape.com/discussion-topics/nasa-moon-landing-hoax/

The obvious questions (some asked on the above site) are as follows (with my favourite one first)

How did they survive the severe levels of cosmic radiation fizzing away out there in open space? According to NASA their spacesuits were no thicker tin foil jumpers. (http://www.consciousape.com/news/nasa-cosmic-radiation-does-cause-cancer-in-astronauts/) not to mention the effect it should have on the cameras

Why does the American flag ‘flap in the wind’ on the original NASA footage, when the moon’s atmosphere is supposed to be a vacuum?

How is it that all the photographs taken by the Apollo astronauts cameras strapped to their space suits look like they were taken by professional photographers in studio conditions?

How did they transport the Lunar Rover? There are no photos of it on the side of the LM or of it being setup. This would have been worth documenting for the training manual alone I would have thought.

Dodgy lighting, look at shadow’s and placements. There are photos with wrong numbers of people on, photos with too many shadows and photos with dubious mountain ranges.

There were no scorch-marks left on the moon’s surface when the Apollo Landing Module blasted off and headed back to earth? Possibly due to the lessened gravity there would be little to no crater but you would at least see a blackened scorch. (the LM would only have to output enough force to counter the moons gravity so a crater may not appear as most people expect)

Before I go into more depth is worth saying that there is a census that the official version of events is the ‘common sense’ version and anything else is just silly, well if we did go to the moon or not, I think that is good to question the official version of any massive event.

It’s good to question, it’s never bad, it can never be bad and if you believe the official version then maybe you will appreciate the following points as a good read, after all as a believer of the accepted ‘facts’ you have probably never looked in the topic that deeply, no one writes blogs defending the common consensus do they.

Video (just some links):
The Apollo 11 mission videos are now available from NASA in HD http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/hd/apollo11.html

It is worrying however as these restored tapes are talked about very differently as this link http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/110442/WORLD-EXCLUSIVE-NASA-finds-missing-moon-landing-tapes tells us how NASA as found the missing tapes and is quashes the conspiracy nutters, but then this link http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090717/ap_on_sc/us_sci_moon_video gives us the more realising report that Hollywood film makers have restored the public footage that NASA have gathered up over the years…. Only one can be true as they both link to the same video footage that I linked above from NASA directly.

Photography:
NASA recently provided some ‘evidence of the moon Apollo missions in the form of some vague images http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html if these pictures are proof then obviously Photoshop is a tool for making proof. Better images have been made my debunkers just for fun.

One of the many convincing conspiracy videos out there is found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22pk2polNeA as with most videos it talks about photographic manipulation and compositing.

This video is called ‘NASA, proof of image tampering’. The video is obviously made by someone with serious skills in the field of photography. Is it really proof? No. anyone who knows their way around Photoshop this well may have created the edits they are showing, assuming the images are what they claim they are then yes, there pretty darn good proof.

Another of the image examination http://www.scribd.com/doc/11725837/Apollo-Hoax it’s pretty good and uses less Photoshop style shots than the you-tube video I linked.

Cross hairs:
I wont go into massive detail about what is detailed in the above likes but it talks about how the cameras had black cross hair’s painted in a glass plate between the lens and the film, this would have made it impossible for anything to be between the cross hair and the film, meaning the corsair would always be 100% visible on every photo, this however is not the case. There are dozens of photos where object on the picture obscure the cross hair, NASA say that this is due to high contrast colour bleeding, in simple a bright enough white on a black background would cause the white to obscure the black of the cross.

I see what NASA are saying here, and I would agree but with the photograph having only the natural light of the sun (as NASA tell us that no additional light sources where taken on the mission) then if it happened on one photo is should have happened on most the others, I say most as there will be times when the light is angled wrong for the effect to happen, at best the effect should be visible on enough of the photo’s for it to be commonly understood, also, this effect only happens on earth with superbly powerful lights and almost never with high quality film (did NASA really cut costs with that specially ordered Kodak film that they had?)

Shadows:
Another one of the widely talked about issues with the moon landing is the problem with the inconsistent shadows. There are many examples of shadows being cast at varying angles and even examples of the shadow length changing from shot to shot, assuming NASA want to stick to the story that no additional lighting was supplied then how is it possible for any substantial change in shadow length without changing location? (Height is always a factor)

There is also the issue of the video showing pictures being taken with light hitting the scene form one direction and then the correlating image shows light coming from different angles. With no additional light source this implied that the astronauts rotated the Lander as well as the rocks in the scene to ensure a good shot with maximum consistency.

Many websites and documentaries that try to debunk the conspiracy theory talk about how the moon is not an even ‘set’ and the shadows anomalies can be explained by uneven ground, but as many documents I have linked state, the shadows are cast by light sources reflected in the subject visors, showing a massive while light, these visors are shaped in a way that makes the things it reflect look smaller not larger, so if it is the sun why isn’t it just a pin prick of light?

The Camera:
The camera’s in question where chest mounted and had no view finders so the pictures where taken using the ‘point, click and hope’ method that often results in terrible ‘wonky’ pictures.

The Photos we see however are all studio perfect, and I understand that of the thousands of photos that where taken there will no doubt be the occasional lucky one but even so, with such perfectly framed and lit photographs it would take time and planning even in a studio.

The chest mounted cameras used where The Hasselblad 70mm EDC (http://www.myspacemuseum.com/apollocams.htm#The%20Hasselblad%2070mm) they where only modified in minor ways to allow easier loading of the magazine as well as a harness for mounting it on the space suits

If you look at any of the official videos of the cameras being used on the moon you will see that the astronauts had to lean back and bend knees to get the camera to point forwards correctly, take this into consideration as well as the inability to accurately change the light and exposure settings on the camera (as space suit gloves where too cumbersome to allow this) it’s a wonder any of the pictures came out at all.

Also the camera’s where not modified in any major way so how exactly did the film survive the radiation levels that would have been encountered while on the moon as well as while passing through the Van Allen belt? (The radiation belt that exists around earth) there should at least be some bleaching of the film going on, or some erroneous burns made from radiation particles. But no, there isn’t one photograph that I can find with any sort of damage, and nowhere in NASA’s documentation does it mention spoiled films magazines.

The Television camera lenses that NASA used on the Apollo 11 mission where specially ordered night lenses to code with the low lighting levels on the moon and on the approach to the moon, this makes sense to anyone who knows even a little about photography but the lenses used on the astronauts camera’s where never noted by any official document or documentary to be low light lenses, we are led to believe that these cameras where using stock lenses, even high quality stock lenses are not light enhancing.

I went to the effort of finding the NASA gallery http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/ap11ann/kippsphotos/apollo.html should make it pretty easy to check those images if anyone has the know-how. Although if the space mission where faked then no doubt NASA would have updated the ‘edits’ as they where discovered, so really you want older versions of the pictures not the ones on the live servers.

Another small point I have here is that how strange it is that they took a 60 million dollar moon car on the mission but no one took equipment to look at the starts from the moon, there’s not one picture of the stars from any moon mission. Why not? It would have been the most amazing thing to happen in space photography ever.

Gravity and motion:
No matter how much I ponder it that flag wavering bothers me...

Why would it wave, shouldn’t it just slowly drop as a flag on earth does when there’s no wind? There’s an article here http://www.spaceref.com/telescopes/Can-you-see-objects-left-behind-on-the-Moon.html it claims that the motion of the flag was the result of a faulty telescopic rod.

The moons not without gravity, it has low gravity, there’s a difference there, what it has is zero wind so this rod would have accounted for the flag not dropping as a flag does on earth but would that account for 20+ hours of movement? I doubt it. But as we know the height of the flagpole it certainly made those shadow anomaly articles easier for those researchers to write.

Another of the famous scenes took place on a later Apollo mission; it was of an astronaut dropping a feather and a hammer, and as theory dictates that gravity is independent of motion and weight then with no atmospheric resistance both should fall evenly.

This experiment was proven and filmed, excellent, except that my webcam and I would be able to duplicate this experiment with a weighted feather and a slowed down video. I am not sure why the debunkers point me to this sequence as it’s so simply reproduced.

Another gripe I have is the close up of the moons surface as the Lunar module landed, its scale looks all messed up and the rotation seems all wrong for the speed and distance that is documented. I don’t know much about effects models but it looks like one to me, and a lot of people who researched much more than me think so too, especially since NASA built a massive scale model of the moons surface on a big round ball for the purpose of selecting a landing site

There is also the question of the landing video that is often seen, its the sequence where one of the astronauts is giving telemetry and other relevant technical information as they approach the moons surface, this is the scene I spoke about above but this time I’m talking about the sound, you can hear the mighty engines firing even through the walls of the Lander, fine, this I understand but why isn’t there motion distortion on the voice of its narrator? If you try to speak while driving over gravel in a car your voice is often distorted because of the vibration of the vehicle, why isn’t this also the case when sitting on top of a firing jet engine?

Dust:
Many people on many sites and forums have pointed out that as the lunar rover sped off into the distance on those famous video’s the dust should have been thrown higher and further than it would on earth, if fell show on the video but did not go as far as it should in low gravity with no atmosphere.

The Lander module its self is another dust issue, why wasn’t the feet of the module covered in dust? That engine that landed it safely should have kicked up a mighty storm but apparently it’s not enough to leave traces on the feed of the module. With the modules lower portion being so reflective and those pictures being so good quality (dubiously) shouldn’t the most minor specs of dust be visible? People have from time to time pointed out that with the engines on minimum thrust and the Lander coming down at a slight angle it would minimise the dust build up. I agree, but even minimum dust is enough to dirty the bottom area of the Lander.

The thrust used on the Lander on the way down had to support the quite significant weight of the module so with the energy being focused for maximum efficiency it would have been far hotter in the centre than a lot of debunkers give it credit for, even in low gravity that fuel was still hot, yet people still say that the low gravity explains the lack of dust and scorch marks.

When the Lander left the moon is used a fuel that is known to burn with red smoke output, on the video of the module leaving the moon then there is no red smoke, this is strange as at the time it was hypothesised that the red mist it would generate may even have been visible from earth. Remember that this module was supposed to have been using ten thousand pounds of thrust.

Keeping Cool:
The PLSS units that the astronauts wore (the life supporting backpacks, more info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_Life_Support_System ) keep the individual at a constant temperature, when they go into a cold area it heats them up and cools them in heat. All the research I can find implies that they use water based radiator technology, so, why wasn’t there some kind of steam output then the units where trying to keep the individual cool?

The reason I ask this is that when you are cooling anything using water you do so by moving the heat away from the radiator as fast as possible, as we know that the temperature difference between lit and dark areas of the moon is vast and instant then this would have been very important. So, you can cool water by venting steam or with a cold air fan, as there where no vents on the PLSS I have to assume it has some system for expelling the heat. This remains a mystery to me.

There is also the question as to if the backpack could regulate heat fast enough to keep the occupant safe and comfortable.

There have been no links in a while so here is another great site http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html

Mars missions:
The mars missions returned some interesting photo’s, they are well known as they are more recent than the moon ones. However upon inspection by those people with Photoshop skills you can shift the hue of the pictures giving you a more natural tone, with blue sky and red tinted rocks, looks more like Nevada than Mars, links: http://www.rense.com/general9/color.htm and http://www.xfacts.com/spirit2004/ and http://www.marsanomalyresearch.com/ as well as many of other sites.

Debunking us nutters:
Most the people working under the official story miss the glorious opportunity to debunk us nutters, you see there is a woman in Australia named Una Ronald who claims she saw a phantom coca-cola bottle float past the screen on the live cast. Even though there where some interesting things done with the video feed from Australia she remains the only person to have ever seen this coke bottle and I cant find any blogs or video’s that do anything to back up her story. It’s an easy one to poke fun at us with but on one uses it because it’s such an unknown story. To be honest even me and my ridiculously open mind think there’s a good chance that she is made of crazy glue and drinks inane monkey juice.

With any good conspiracy there’s always some one trying to blindly defend the official version of events, but for a change when it comes to this topic we have an excellent well thought out site available http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/ this site is unusual to me because its so well put together, usually it’s the conspiracy sites that have all the skills and the official story has the news media and the occasional government organisation defending it not individuals with little to no real motive.

In the case of this website though, we have some really truly wonderful work. The writer breaks down step by step every point that conspiracy sites and documentaries raise and tells us why it’s wrong.

In the case of why the Van Allen belt didn’t radiate the astronauts to death it explains by claiming that the speed was increased to minimise exposure, it’s the same logic as running through a rain storm to get less wet.

Time you are exposed and the distance you travel are separate arguments to be had, if you travel through a pool of water 2 meters wide at twice the speed you usually travel are you only as wet as you would have been if the water was 1 meter wide? Well, I suppose, maybe (I can’t think why though) but drenched is still drenched no matter what the speed, and unlike water radiation poisoning can not be corrected with a good quality towel and hot cup of soup.

Also, is it worth mentioning that EVERY manned space slight other than the Apollo missions has taken place beneath this radiation belt?

There is an idea that I didn’t mention above that if you speed up the film of the moon walks then the gravity looks more earth like, the reason I did not mention it in my article was because it can be countered by pointing out that even though this is true its still true if the video is genuine and the gravity has less of a hold so speeding it up DOES make is appear more like gravity’s hold is stronger. Logical, isn’t it (see, I have researched both sides of this topic)

When this website debunks the point by talking about speeding up film of people running to make them look like athletes I was surprised. I’m not sure what the writes point is there. It goes on to say that the movement of the dust is proof that it was filmed on the moon. More suspect logic when you consider that the movement of the dust is an entire topic in its self.

I don’t mean to debunk that debunker but my opinions on this are based of reading everything I could get from the official and reputable sources THEN and only then did I look at the conspiracy, but most of the alternative sites I had asked the same questions that I had already formed in my little mind.

I won’t pick on him any more though. It seams mean. In all seriousness thought my point here is that often people counter the conspiracy by spewing up the most obvious thing that they can think of, often putting no where as much research in a the ‘nutters’ who question the story.

Also apparently the Hubble Space Telescope is not powerful enough to see the equipment left behind by the Apollo missions. But it can see other galaxies? I’m not sure I am well versed enough in the technology to argue that one but it seems to me to be more than a little suspect.

There is even one documentary (‘what happened on the way to the moon’) that has a NASA scientist who actually says that the reason that there’s no point asking questions about the pictures/shadows/lights/dust/quality or anything else is because “it did happen so what’s the point wasting time trying to prove correct thinks we know to be true” in my mind, asking questions about things, any reason in fact is always a good thing, I cant think of a time when questioning something is ever a ‘waste of time’ as he so brilliantly put it.

There are also people who use the wonderful line “we will never know for certain so what’s the point in wasting time on it?” yeah, this IS the same thing phrased a bit differently. The point is simply that if we stop questioning things then we will end up believing everything we see on television and never learning anything new ever again.

Even if I’m wrong and so is every person that has ever doubted this then WHY has NASA never officially sat down with the conspiracy researchers and answered there questions one by one?

If the official story is so true the why is it so hard to defend? Because, as NASA so eloquently puts it ‘NASA is not accountable to the public’ I want to know why it’s not accountable, why aren’t all Government agencies and contractors accountable for everything? Isn’t that what the idea of public service I all about?
For those who are deep inside that rabbit hole:
This is NOT the point of this post/episode so I have not supplied many links or other information, but I think most of our listeners/reader will have heard about it.

One of the problems I face while thinking about the moon landings being faked is how there are other theories about humanities space adventures that add a whole new layer to the debate.

The idea is that mankind has been in contact with none terrestrial super powers since at least before World War 2 (I’m being conservative) and that as far back as that we had bases as far out as Mars and was using alien technology to travel back and forth.

Edgar Dean Mitchell was the sixth man on the moon and sensationally he announced on an English radio show (The Night Before, Kerrang radio) that he had seen NASA employees talking on monitors to alien officers who where aboard the international space station. As well as being personally briefed on human-alien relations and politics. (This statement has not been responded too by any official spokesperson)

There are even claims of doctored photos of Mars that hide massive pipes and structures. Are they hiding human or alien structures though?

The whole Garry McKinnon (http://freegary.org.uk/) case is rumoured to be based on his knowledge of off-world officers being documented by the pentagon.

You see, the problem is that if the governments of the world have been going as far out as Mars for the last 60+ years then why do they need to fake a moon landing?

Possibly NASA and the ‘real’ space agency are not affiliated and NASA’s work represents what we can do without alien interference, or possibly the whole thing was just cheaper to fake than to do for real.

If we have bases all over the solar system then maybe the whole moon mission pledge as given by JFK was nothing more than an exorcise in misdirection to keep our minds away from the UFO obsession of the time because public interest in a fake moon mission was safer.

All this may explain why all three Apollo 11 astronauts resigned shortly after the mission.

Also, what’s with this moon bombing stuff? http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=nasas-mission-to-bomb-the-moon-2009-06

Anyone who thinks we did go to the moon:
After reading all of this you may be sick of the whole conspiracy theory now, and that’s okay.

If you have read every word above and looked at the links out of curiosity but in the end you think it’s all too nit picky and daft then thanks for making it this far. Thanks for taking the time to look at this and ask ‘why do those people think this?’

All too often people dismiss an unusual idea as they don’t want their perception of reality challenged, I have seen people defend the common belief without any clue why. As I keep saying no matter what you believe about this topic or any other, it’s always good to find out why you believe what you do.

David Icke’s work first led me to really understand the following quotes they are more relevant today than when they first left the lips of the men who uttered them.

“Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance” who said that little gem? It was Albert Einstein, a man who all of us united can say “clever bloke” with no one disagreeing.

Another little gem worth keeping inside your head is the wonderful words that Ghandi said “Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth ”

I would like to add, that if mankind did set foot on the moon, after spending so much money that could have saved so many lives, fed so many starving people and cured so many diseases then why are we so proud? Forget the moon; let’s use all those resources on ending suffering here on earth.
Personally I believe:
If your asking me, I think it was faked, I think that there’s a good chance we have been there using our own technology in the time since then, and with astronauts who’s names we will never know but going in 1969?

As for the possibility of alien technology being used? I doubt it; it’s just cheaper and easier to use a film studio. If you have really been there using more advanced technology then its even easier to fake, you know what your faking.

Also I DO think that it’s possible to keep this secret. If no one has owned up to what really happened with 9/11 and no governments never owned up to having Ghandi killed then yes there are ways of keeping massive secrets, just ask the man on the grassy knoll, he’s pretty good at secrets.

Remember how news agencies used re-enacted scenes (touted as real footage) of the sinking of the ship Lusitania to bring American into world war one? Well, its common knowledge now for anyone who is interested but still this proves that this kind of thing CAN be done.

How about how the BBC admit to using faked news reports to convince Germany that allied troops where inside areas that whey where not in world war 2? These things do happen and you only have to keep the secret until no one cares any more, then it all comes out.

Disinformation is an art and can be used against anyone it needs to be, it’s a weapon.
I think there’s a fantastic chance that we have a ‘real’ space program but why would you televise what could have been a suicide mission? That wouldn’t have made the USSR look very bad would it?

Faking it was cheaper, safer and just more logical. Imagine the idea that there would be dead astronauts orbiting our planet, rotting in a metallic tomb for all time, not good for NASA’s image is it?

Even the names of the astronauts sound like fiction, if Neil Armstrong isn’t a sci-fi name then just call me Rick Random (that was the name of a 50’s comic book hero btw.)

As much as I personally believe that the whole NASA story is a publicity stunt to keep America looking good, I think that the real space program that Edgar Mitchell seams to know a lot about is far beyond anything that people could imagine.

In short I think that the Apollo missions where fake, but real missions happened, are happening and while we are all worrying about shadows and dust on pictures we are missing the obvious and very real change that those pictures where taken on the moon by people with far more advanced technology than the Apollo 11 crew.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, your thoughts are welcome.

Made a bit of a muck up when i uploaded the preview show last night (thanks in no small part to Mevio) anyway, i fixed it and the REAL preview episode is now alive and kicking (well all 2:44 of it anyway)

if you have downloaded an all music cast at about 40 seconds then you have the illegitimate spawn. get the real one from the RSS feed. (see previous post)

RHE Presents: Conspiracy 101

2009-07-10T05:57:00.000-07:00

In preparation for the upcoming episode 1 of Rabbit Hole Express I have had to spend more than a healthy amount of time on 'alternative news' websites, well, I say unhealthy but let me quantify that...

I read a lot of alternative news sites every day. I do not consider alternative news such as Alex Jones Infowars.com to be a conspiracy website, after all his sites are alternative views on reputable news.

Then there's the other side of that, I read David Icke's website, now although he does similar work to Alex Jones he takes a more spiritual interpretation on it and as its hard to claim that some ones spiritual beliefs are conspiracy I consider this site to be alternative news too.

When you look at all these websites that people consider to be crazy or conspiracy oriented you start to fall down that rabbit hole, you begin to see the logic and skill of these people who are running the sites and after taking the time to read it you don't think of it as conspiracy at all.

Now, I know a lot of people have an instinctive reaction to this sort of thing claiming its anarchistic/evil/the devil/stupid/paranoid/silly/ignorant or any other 'tag'

Because of this instant pigeon holing that goes on people tend not to read much more than the title of the posts on the page, this irritated me as its a well known concept that in order to have an opinion about something you must first understand it. So when people tell me that Swine flu is a massive pandemic and we all need Tami-flu I get angry, they think this because they where told it, and will call any opposing opinion 'crazy' without even knowing why.

People will happily take at face value anything the government says believing that they are skilled at leading and honest of purpose. When the alternative media say the governments are corrupt and evil, people shout and scream about dangerous beliefs, but how many have read the articles? How many have checked the official story?

I know people who have not missed an episode of East Enders and Coronation street for years but cant tell me who Ghandi was.

I know people who join the army, kill for the government but think that Franz Ferdinand is a band

I know people who think that swine slue will kill them think that H1H1 as TXT talk for 'ass'

So when I say I have spent an unhealthy amount of time on these sites, I only mean that my genuine concern for the state of civilization reaches points where I have problems sleeping at night.

Anyway, that ramble was brought to you while researching for Rabbit hole Express, so if you are interested in a single thing I said, you may like the show later this month.

Almost an episode 1

2009-07-09T06:15:00.000-07:00

Uploaded an 'almost episode' just so i could get the RSS feeds and the mevio accounts setup, its not exactly an epic opening, its more of a hello really.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole Express

2009-07-09T03:30:00.000-07:00

welcome on and all, this is the rabbit hole express podcasts official home blog (well i say official, its also going to be post on TamworthGamers.co.uk as well)

anyway this is a none-post really its just so that i have the blog all setup and ready to go for next week. more information as it comes

WHAT'S THE RABBIT HOLE EXPRESS?
its a podcast about alternative views/media and news, we think of ourselves as 'proper' discussion about the things you will read on sites like davidicke.com and infowars.net.

I myself (knows aws Hex) am an avid reader of alternative view sites and to be honest, don't discount anything. my cohost however (known as Mr.Fish) considers himself something of a cynical realist with no history in reading conspiracy websites and pretty much thinks that the BBC are nice guys.

so, about once a month we will get together and talk about hot and controversial topics, we are not as well versed as the Alex Jones show and not as controversial as Terrance McKenna but that's the point of the podcast, we are normal people with points of view that are relevant to you.

come take a listen. and if you want to come on the show jsut get hold of me via skype or Twitter as HexDSL.

topic sugestions and links all welcome.

WHERE CAN I GET IT?
ah, RSS and stuff still being setup, first episode out soon, check back in a few days for more

thanks for coming.
