I'm not fond of posting pictures that are supposed to prove a contentious point as I think the arguments should be more cogent than just the visual evidence. Accusations of photographic tampering are not very fruitful so instead of these photographs it's the discussions I've been listening to over the last couple of weeks that have aroused my curiosity and the photos just happened to have turned up in a post this morning so I'm going to use them. I absolutely don't trust the Smithsonian version of history which aims to keep us ignorant of so much, and detached from the rapidly accumulating evidence for a much longer and more cosmic human history on this planet.
Yesterday's interview with Alex Putney by Red Ice Radio pointed out that for dinosaurs to have existed, the size of heart required to push the blood up a brontosaurus neck would pop that head off the end of presumably the longest and bloodiest stump in history. Either that or eight normal sized hearts would need to be lined up the neck to ensure blood delivery. That physics and biology problem was answered best so far by Clif High in the interview I posted last week in which he explains that the expando earth model is the most plausible solution for giants dinosaurs (and humans) living on our planet because gravity is reduced on a smaller planetary sphere. It's simple, it's very appealing and also it would explain why both the dinosaurs and the giants died out. Update: I see the good doctor is blogging along my anti Smithsonian theme too.
David Hatcher-Childress covers the architectural connections between Egypt and Mesoamerica that the Smithsonian is unable to respond to coherently. This is one of his most robust presentations to date. What is it in our history that has at some point galvanized a small group of people to whitewash our history. Could it be that we're a bit more special than some randomness among the stars?
Ancient Aliens has pretty much jumped the shark with Giorgio Tsoukalos now more memorable for his carefully contrived hair than science, as well as his absurd piece to camera one liners such as "If X therefore Extraterrestrials" for example "If cosmic pubic hair therefore extraterrestrials (pronounced EGG-TRA terrestrials as he needs to jam as much idiosyncratic mnemonics into his sock puppet lines as possible to prolong the fame.
However Ancient Aliens has done its job of carefully inserting a future meme of 'hell they been coming and going forever" just in case they turn up again shortly and a few elite institutions look like they have been holding back on us.
It's a bit like the Precog crime unit in Minority report where the job isn't to prevent murder but instead dampen any future public backlash. TV and Hollywood does this best. It's a Precog outrage unit.
In the mean time a dozen threaded and interweaving historical revisions are unravelling around the world as we speak, it's just that most of them aren't getting prime time like Ancient Aliens which adds fuel to the rumour mill of, is something alien in the offing?
The entire para-history picture hangs together if we interrogate it hard enough such that the Göbekli Tepe ruins in Southern Turkey rewrite the fundamentals of ancient history right down to how long the spurious time it took for language and the neocortex to evolve. In the mean time it's probably best to take a pointillist approach rather than the oil landscape route as the Göbekli Tepe ruins are older than Stonehenge and the Cheops Pyramid. If that doesn't raise a few questions for the inquiring mind to dash of a letter of protest to The iniquitous Smithsonian Institute then stick to the Ancient Aliens and their Eggstraterrestrials along with 'millions around the world'.
It's a good start but a little stage managed for the connoisseur.
David Hatcher Childress draws our attention to ancient Sumerian/Akkadian cuneiform writings turning up in Tiahuanaco in Bolivia (close to Lake Titicaca Peruvian border) on ancient artefacts of The Pokotia Monolith and The Magna Fuente Bowl.
It's like an ancient chip shop turning up in an archaeological dig at Angkor Wat.You can listen to an interview with him on the subject by Coast over here or play the Youtube embed below. It's first class audio and further evidence of the concerted effort to conceal our true historical record.
One great point David Hatcher-Childress makes that hadn't occurred to me, is that the Smithsonian may well be unaware of the deception it perpetrates. Most of the key evidence was spirited away around the 18th and 19th century in America and so the narrative is already in place. Once the story is bedded down i.e. the pyramids in Egypt have nothing to do with the Pyramids in Mesoamerica, it matters very little who is in charge from now on as they will certainly be innocent of revisionism and have a pension to protect. They will be unwilling to interrogate a time line that has been in place for quite some time. It's more about a nudge than a push if anything emerges to challenge the story like this incredible evidence that our ancestors had intercontinental trade not unlike the early 20th century at the very least. Possibly flying if we factor in those Indian Vimanas.
The end of the interview refers to the end of Indiana Jones where secret treasures are locked up under heavy government lock and key and as Jordan Maxwell claims 'Stephen Spielberg doesn't make movies to entertain. He makes them to comment on the world'. I think Jordan is right and if you listen to this interview you can make your own mind up. Here's a previous Smithsonian post.
These golden 'Wizard' hats caught my attention earlier for reasons of hats and Sumerian Annunaki I've heard mentioned from time to time. They're both made from one piece of Gold and are over 3000 years old. This corroborates the information I've come across which is that humanity is a lot more sophisticated and ancient than the Darwinian tale of civilisation that began around 5000 years ago. I don't buy that story and so when I discovered that Yemeni women wear similar hats of straw and that the Sumerian or Queen of Sheba connection is right there on the doorstop it caught my attention. It's also worth pointing out the lunar phase symbolism on the taller hat are a logarithmic table that allow the sun and moon to be calculated in advance. Still believe that savage beast tale the Smithsonian would have you believe about humanity?
From that trail I ended up watching quite a new documentary about Al Qaeda in Yemen which brought me up to date on what is roughly going on there (nothing that the U.S. taxpayer should be blowing up) but what really caught my attention was the interview of the FBI interrogator at the end. Both the FBI and PBS interviewer can't wrap their heads around the idea that the CIA are up to their necks in 9/11 inside jobbing and that the entire interview held under sobering camera close ups is a fucking joke. Get a life boys. CIA are running rings round you peasants. Watch it. They're so close to knowing what happened but so far as they're unable to digest reality. Same applies to most people. Struggling to figure out the increasingly obvious.
America B.C. is a book by Barry Fell, that was widely attacked on its publication. However, prehistoric evidence in the U.S. is one of the great stories to have been whitewashed by the historical and archaeological institutions like the Smithsonian who have a very real interest in revising history to keep populations stupid. Hugh Newman is an earth mysteries and esoteric science researcher who has authored two books. He also organizes the Megalithomania Conferences, co-edits Avalon Rising magazine and coordinates talks, films and workshops at numerous festivals.
Hugh has travelled all over the Northeastern states of America which have a remarkable amount of megalithic structures with some that go back to over 4000 years. Vermont has numerous rock chambers and standing stones that form an archaeoastronomical complex over a broad area. New York State has a mix of earthen mounds, megalithic chambers and giant dolmens. New Hampshire boasts "America's Stonehenge."
On the coast of Rhode Island, is the famous Dighton Rock, with bizarre petroglyphs. In Massachusetts, a strange "hill that roars" sits near a selection of megalithic chambers, cairns and mounds of ancient origin. New Jersey, Maine and Connecticut also have numerous ancient sites that cannot be explained by traditional archaeology of North America. In this interview, Hugh will talk about these sites and explore theories about them that present a new view of the origins of ancient America.
Apart from making elegant visual sense as well as common sense the Expando planet model best explains the dinosaur extinction. The change in gravity from an expanding planet makes the Earth unsupportable of massive beasts including the giants that Michael Tellinger has found evidence of and which the Smithsonian goes nuts about. So for example, for a brontosaurus to survive on the planet today it would require eight of its existing hearts actually on its neck to pump the blood up to a head that would be under so much blood pressure it might have difficulty staying on. Seriously.
Discovered in Fuschel am See in Austria which is quite far from the nearest Mesopotamian 7 Eleven, leading us to conclude that globalization isn't as new as we like to think. But then you know by now I disagree with the Smithsonian fairy tale. Link here.
I've blogged before about the Smithsonian truth embargo on our history but this discovery by Michael Tellinger on the South African border is extraordinary and has barely been just uploaded. It takes an understanding of the Expando Earth model to understand the essential gravity science behind this, but the really hard work is figuring out why our institutions lie to us. That's a little more application than nuts and bolts science.
Please note. The Bible is a tool of manipulation but like all good disinformation and misinformation its greatest utility is in figuring out the nature and agenda of our manipulators. We learn more and more every day in these wonderful days of the apocalypse (the unveiling) and revelation.
Update: Michael Writes:
I would like to share with you what could be one of the best pieces of evidence that there were once giants on Earth a long, long time ago. Geologists have marvelled at this giant foot print in rough granite, about 4 feet long. This is a deeply sacred, mystical and spiritual place among African knowledge keepers and so it should remain. It is affectionately known as the Footprint of God. At about 4 feet in length, the person who would have left it behind must have been about 24 feet OR 7.5 metres tall. This site presents us with a real dilemma and a deep mystery that needs to be resolved.
I start many of my presentations by saying, that the history of our planet is a lot stranger than most of us could possibly imagine. All you need to do is look at the brilliant research of Klaus Dona, to see the evidence of 7,5m-tall giants in prehistory on our planet.
Some claim that the footprint is a natural erosion pattern. Personally I find that suggestion highly improbable for various reasons that I will not go into here. But to support my thoughts on this, Prof. Pieter Wagener from the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth SA, and a PhD in applied maths, suggests that "there is a higher probability of little green men arriving from space and licking it out with their tongues, than it being created by natural erosion".
The footprint is located in South Africa, near the town of Mpaluzi, close to the Swaziland border. It is estimated to be between 200 million and 3 billion years old because of our current understanding of the formation of granites in Earth's history. This dating immediately causes heated debate and argument - so I urge you to keep your mind open and focused on the evidence.
This amazing footprint in granite was discovered in 1912 by a farmer called Stoffel Coetzee, while hunting. At that time this was a deeply remote part of South Africa known as the Eastern Transvaal, teeming with wild life, including antelope, wildebeest and lions. The footprint remains in the same condition as it was when first discovered. The possibility that this was a carved hoax is extremely low because of its remote location. The erosion pattern inside the foot is very similar to the natural erosion around the footprint. It is unimaginable that a few thousand years ago, someone decided to carve a giant footprint into the rock at this remote particular spot. Even today, it is difficult to find.
The real mystery is how this amazing phenomenon occurred – I have no real proof but I have several theories and ideas, but these are just speculation, allowing for an extremely unusual set of circumstances. BUT – the footprint remains and we cannot wish it away.
YES - It is granite - it is a well recognised geological part of South Africa and recorded on all geological maps - that is why this footprint is such an incredible mystery. It can be described as a "phenocrystic" granite, OR coarse porphyritic granite, that underwent several different stages of cooling. The result being an interesting mixture of large and small granules. This is why granite companies are keen to mine this area for granite because it will look really "pretty" when polished. In the official Geology Of South Africa, this outcrop is called Mpuluzi Batholith (Granite) and the official dating of this rock produced dates of around 3,1 billion years.
Let me remind you that we know less about our human history than is allowed by the laws of physics. So if you fall into the category of individuals who immediately dismiss this as a hoax or natural erosion, I ask you to check your ego and arrogance and open your mind to infinite possibility in a multiverse of infinite possibility.
This is a real mystery that needs close scientific examination and I will be embarking on this in the near future.
Those of us with a little spare time to invest in the Pyramids learn two things. The first very quickly but the second takes a lot longer to fully absorb. The Cheops Pyramids are not tombs for Pharaohs is not so hard to figure out but much less digestible is the fanatical policing of this historical narrative which is designed to keep you stupid. I know, it's not very nice but it is as it is and we've all been a little guilty of failing to challenge the arc of this particular story and many others.
The Pyramids have quite a few functions including metaphysical displays of embedded knowledge such as the speed of light and other data points we have had to relearn but which the ancients were familiar with. What is more important as we plough through this age of deceit, tilling the apocalyptic (unveiling) soil of revelations is that the revolution will not be televised.
The old power structures that policed a highly agenda driven view of civilised history as no oloder than five thousand years old (a preposterous assertion) are not going to take a full page ad out in the New York Times to say they got it wrong. They are quietly withdrawing to the shadows hoping we wont notice that the story is slowly changing though make no mistake that for the worst offenders of stupidity crusaders (like The Smithsonian) we have made a mental note of them and they will be dealt with accordingly.
In January 2011, an important and historic exploration took place inside the Great Pyramid. However, the remarkable evidence that was discovered seemed to pass into history without fuss or fanfare. A small article in the New Scientist magazine, with the promise of a future scholarly report on the findings, seemed to be an extremely muted response to an event that has traditionally been promoted to attract millions of “pyramid watchers” across the world. Has the interest in pyramid discoveries waned, or was this exploration another casualty of the Arab Spring, which saw a revolution in Egypt that ousted President Hosni Mubarak and saw the staccato-like firing/hiring/firing of one of the world’s most prominent Egyptologists, Zahi Hawass? Perhaps the exploration in the Great Pyramid earlier this year came at a time when Hawass did not want any attention brought on himself, as he was receiving enough attention by the Egyptian protesters in Tahrir Square who criticized his handling of the affairs of the Supreme Counsel of Antiquities (SCA). With the recent changes in Egypt’s power structure, we are left to ask:
What are the implications behind the relative silence from the SCA regarding this exploration?
Will the Southern Shaft of the Queen’s Chamber and Gantenbrink’s “door” ever rise to prominence again?
Did the discoveries behind Gantenbrink’s “door” support or contradict the many theories about what would be found there?
Going back as far as the seventeenth century, there are accounts of numerous explorations into the Great Pyramid that have yielded significant new details of the structure. Before 1872, the Queen’s Chamber shafts were no mystery because as far as visitors to the chamber were concerned, they did not exist. All that changed, however, when British explorer, Waynman Dixon, detected a crack in the wall and was able to push a rod deep into the crack without meeting any resistance, prompting him to have the limestone chiseled away revealing a square opening measuring 20.32 cm (8 in) wide and 22.35 cm (8.8 in) high. A similar shaft was subsequently found in the north wall.
Because of the machine-like, technical appearance of the Great Pyramid and the precision with which it was built, I began, in 1977, developing a theory that the original function of the Great Pyramid was intended not to be a tomb but a power plant. Within the context of the power plant with all its attributes and anomalous features which other theories were unable to explain without resorting to symbolism, I found a practical answer. The Queen’s Chamber, I proposed, served as a reaction chamber; and the shafts leading to this chamber supplied two chemicals (I proposed a combination of dilute hydrochloric acid and hydrated zinc) that, when mixed together, created hydrogen.
In 1993, a German robotics engineer, Rudolph Gantenbrink, on contract to install ventilation fans in the King’s Chamber shafts, after cleaning the debris using a robot, proposed that he use his robot, named “Upuaut II” (meaning “opener of the ways”) to coax from the depths of the pyramid more of its secrets by exploring the Southern Shaft in the Queen’s Chamber. While the exits from the shafts from the King’s Chamber are found on the outside of the pyramid, no exit has ever been found for either of the Queen’s Chamber shafts. I was viewing the exploration by Gantenbrink; and when the robot came to the end of the shaft, what is now famously known as Gantenbrink’s “door” came into view with two metal pins attached. (The shaft due to its small size could only allow a small animal to pass—Gantenbrink does not call the block a “door,” as have various Egyptologists—but rather a USO, or Unidentified Stone Object, a nomenclature that I will adopt for purposes of this article.) A friend immediately claimed that they looked like electrodes, which made sense to me; for in order to maintain the head pressure, the shafts had to be kept full, and electrodes could serve as a switch to signal replenishment. In 1998, my book, The Giza Power Plant, incorporated this theory.
Then in 2002, to much fanfare and excitement, “Opening of the Lost Tomb”, which offered to show live a new exploration of the Queen’s Chamber Southern Shaft, was broadcast in Europe by National Geographic and in the U.S. by Fox Television. The documentary captured 30 million viewers in the U.S. alone, glued to their television sets to watch a new robot named “pyramid rover” drill through the limestone block which held the metal fittings and then insert a camera through the hole to see what lay beyond. Prior to this broadcast, I posted two articles on my website explaining the reasoning behind my analysis of these shafts and what would be revealed if we were able to look behind it. Based on what I wrote in The Giza Power Plant, the last article outlined a prediction of what would be found behind the “USO.” The prediction included a drawing of the continuation of the metal fittings, or wiring attached to them, and a chemical supply shaft for the delivery of the chemical. The information gathered by the robot was not conclusive, but parts of the theory were supported—particularly the USO’s thickness.
Following the 2002 exploration, an occasional report would appear that promised a new exploration in the near future. Then on May 25, 2011, an article appeared in New Scientist online magazine describing the latest exploration of a new robot, named Djedi, which provided new images taken behind the USO. These images show that my design concept, while being a workable solution, was not quite correct. But far from being dismayed, I was impressed that the ancient Egyptians’ design was much better and delighted to note that greater evidence had been revealed than I had hoped!
I was astonished that information regarding this long awaited exploration had been released without fanfare. Zahi Hawass, the minister of antiquities in Egypt, and director of this recent expedition, described these internal features as the “last great mystery of the Great Pyramid.” With the last exploration broadcast on Fox television in the U.S. garnering 30 million viewers, why was National Geographic or Fox television not involved?
Reading the article and looking at the grainy images of the back of the stone block with the metal fittings, it became clear that the author and expedition team members were aware of the power plant theory. Rowan Hooper writes, “Metal is not part of any other known structure in the pyramid, and the discovery ignited speculation that the pins were door handles, keys or even parts of a power supply constructed by aliens.” As the first person to publish a work that described the pins as electrical devices, I must set the record straight that I have never credited the construction of the Great Pyramid to aliens, or any other people, except the indigenous people living in that area at the time. Moreover, the discovery of the pins in 1993 was not the trigger that gave birth to the idea that the Great Pyramid was a power plant; they simply enhanced the proposed use that I had formulated in 1977 for the Queen’s Chamber and the shafts. Shaun Whitehead, the camera designer from the company Scoutek in Melton Mowbray, UK, said, “Our new pictures from behind the pins show that they end in small, beautifully made loops, indicating that they were more likely ornamental rather than electrical connections.”
Kate Spence, an Egyptologist at Cambridge University, UK, indicated that the USO would have served a symbolic purpose, a door with door handles. This notion has been proposed before. German Egyptologist, Rainer Stadelmann, speculated in the 2002 documentary that the pins were symbolic door handles for the King to use to symbolically raise the door so that his soul can fly off to the stars to which the pyramid shafts are allegedly aligned.
The continuation of the pins on the backside of Gantenbrink’s USO was not the only discovery captured by the new robot. The images also revealed some mysterious symbols drawn on the floor in red paint. Peter Der Manuelian, an Egyptologist at Harvard University and director of the Giza Archives at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, said “Red-painted numbers and graffiti are very common around Giza. They are often mason’s or work-gang’s marks, denoting numbers, dates, or even the names of the gangs.
There was no immediate explanation for what these red symbols mean, but they are a significant discovery and have the potential to open up an entirely new area of research in gaining an understanding of ancient Egyptian symbolism. When considered along with the metal pins the symbols provide key evidence necessary to support the theory of an electrical use of the pins and also give us a roadmap for exploration into the future. Not only did the ancient Egyptians leave us with the physical evidence that proves this to be so, they also provided us with an electrical schematic that showed how the pins were wired!
The first most important discovery is the design of the two pins. Judging by their relationship to the size of the space, the pins are approximately .8 cm (5/16 inch) in diameter. Figure 1 shows the metal loop, with what appears to be a gap where the loop on the right pin seems to be inserted into another hole in the limestone block. The left pin shows signs of corrosion, similar to those in the main shaft, though not as severe. There also seems to be a white deposit around the left pin and its hole, while the right pin has what appears to be a black ring encircling the hole that penetrates through to the main shaft.
As these images did not match those that I had predicted, the expedition team evidently believed that the controversy had been settled and that that they served as more mundane objects and not electrical devices. This conclusion certainly would be more acceptable to those who hold the keys to the pyramid and control what information is given to the public. Also overlooked in the report was the somewhat faint evidence of a cable curling out of the top of the USO near the center and traveling along the ceiling. (See Figure 2)
The image of the floor behind the USO is especially intriguing (see Figure 3 & Figure 4). The patchwork of stitched together images reveals a wealth of information. The helical wraps of more flexible conduit can be seen lying on the floor near the bottom of the image just left of the red painted line—probably left there by the maintenance crew. The metallic appearance of this object and the helical turns of the metal have the same appearance as a length of flexible conduit that has been pulled apart while being disassembled would have. There are indications of more lengths of this material on the floor that are not as distinct as this one. Also just above and to the right of the red line is what appears to be an opening in the floor with anomalous objects nearby and one of them seeming to disappear into the opening.
While it appears that the maintenance crew did not clean up after performing repairs in the space behind the USO, the debris was not the only evidence they left there. They also left instructions on how to wire the pins! These instructions were painted as symbols onto the floor and represent a simple wiring diagram. The uppermost symbol – depicted as a number 5 with the lower loop almost closed, represents the left connector through which the pin is pushed until the end of the loop meets the limestone. The pin was probably tapered at the end which allowed it to enter the loop and gradually push it open while the connector loop held onto the pin as it tried to achieve its original shape. The vertical leg of this connector is not to scale (as very few wiring diagrams are), but the actual connector probably had a longer vertical leg up to the point when it is bent at right angles towards the center of the USO where the cable is located.
The center symbol that shows a round circle with a forked line below it could represent the cable through which electricity flowed. It is positioned between the upper and lower connector symbols on the floor as the flexible conduit is positioned between the right and left pins in the USO. The lower connector symbol is roughly similar to the upper with the exception of the top bend, which could go right or left as when installed it wouldn’t matter which way the loop was turned. All the symbols, including the line (which would logically represent the main cable coming from the USO) were more than likely positioned on the side that would identify the positive electrode.
All that has been revealed by the Djedi robot describes an electrical device which was accessible to workers for maintenance. Considering the erosion on the pins in the main shaft (the negative electrode having broken off in antiquity) and considering the extreme tapering that was more than likely caused by the rise and fall of a corrosive liquid, another significant conclusion that can be made is that these electrodes must have been replaced periodically. At the same time, the electrical cables were probably replaced and some of the shielding was left in the space. The entire design supports this view! The pins were made so that they could be removed easily and another one put in its place. Also, seating the lower loop into a blind hole would prevent the electrode from turning in the hole. After it was seated in position, the pin protruding into the main shaft would be bent 90 degrees and fixed securely in operating position.
Gantenbrink’s Upuaut II also revealed another important feature of the electrodes. After they were positioned in the hole, a sealant was applied and this can be seen clearly in Figure 8.
The implications of robot Djedi’s mission are stunning. They clearly indicate that there is access to the end of the Queen’s Chamber shafts and a passageway exists within the pyramid. This lends support for part of Pierre Houdin’s internal ramp theory and suggests that one must exist for access to the Queen’s Chamber shafts. Perhaps other parts of the structure, also!
Besides prompting further exploration in the Great Pyramid, to find ancient symbols and to be able to clearly connect them with a knowledge and use of electricity in prehistory is extremely exciting. It opens up a whole new area of study using knowledge and tools that have been previously excluded from ancient Egyptian studies. The question now is who will replace Hawass in broadcasting remarkable discoveries to the press? Will his successor take up the media mantle and be as effective in bringing attention to Egyptian antiquities? Say what you want about Hawass, the Egyptian antiquities scene has gone relatively quiet since he was replaced.
Once again the Smithsonian and Peabody Research Institute are implicated in a cover up of our ancient past and the question remains. Why do elite institutions want to keep us ignorant of our ancient and civilised past that appears to have had many variants of human ancestors civilised and uncivilised living together or apart.
In its own way I would say this is a notably subversive piece of U.S. TV history, made in the tradition of telling as much as can be got away with. It's not perfect. How could any discussion of the Masonic roots of the United States avoid the Satanic symbolism of the Washington D.C. layout like that Pentagram above and below. But it is visualised and that's a start.
The programme is about as lengthy an exposure as mainstream America is ever going to get on the Masonic roots of the U.S. (and thus it's subservience to the 33rd degreeMasonic lodge in London). I was also disappointed not to see the story about the founding fathers who at an important point were reluctant to unify until they were harangued by a strange figure from the gallery about the importance of the declaration of independence but as history didn't record this event officially its probably a myth. My question is surely it's one that can be verified or dismissed with a little research? Is there not one founding father who made a record of the matter in their diary?
Anyway, its down to the Ancient Alien series to at least bring up the Masonic roots of the U.S. and the distinctly non secular Apotheosis of George Washington (though no mention of that Mayan Calendar in the Capitol Dome). The series is winding down now so they string out minutes worth of information sometimes into long stretches of Socratic navel gazing but it's still been one of the most controversial and Smithsonian-challenging versions of history in broadcast media. Plus they used a really creepy Grandmaster Freemason with a dodgy foreign accent to paint the Masonic side of history. So we can tell the producers are on our side but then you could tell that from the beginning if you were paying attention.
I'm hugely sceptical of the scientific establishment's inability to challenge the orthodoxy and rewrite history. Time and again it's a lack of backbone and curiosity that is missing within an atmosphere of bland and supine, back scratching peer review academia.
I've been going through Gore Vidal's talks on Youtube because he's so erudite and has a long historical view of issues rather than the snappy soundbite. I like him immensely and even more because he confirms in this talk the influence of Bohemian Grove for the global power elite and for a few other issues that once were filed under conspiracy theory but which are now increasingly understood as reality that is desperately being covered up by the people who own 80-90% of everything most folk interact with.
Everything from food to attention spans. Think about that.
