The Hum

     It is an affliction that affects thousands world-wide, and yet there is no explanation for it known to science -- medical or otherwise. To most of humanity, it doesn't exist. To those who hear it, it is known only as the Hum.

     It has been described as a persistent low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise; some describe it as an 'idling engine' while others have described it as closer to an electrical array's steady drone. Vibrations have been reported to be felt throughout the body by some, although this may be psychosomatic in nature. Earplugs have not been reported to reduce the noise at all, which indicates to some that it's not an actual, physical sound -- but interestingly, those who have experienced it state that the sound lessens when moved away from, with a range measured in many miles.

     The phenomenon is not singular, but has been heard in many places, and those places that do have such occur generally call it by a localized name. The 'Laos Hum', the 'Bristol Hum', and similar names. A variety of explanations have been presented, none of which have ever been fully accepted, from tinnitus (unlikely to be so prevalent - up to 2% of the population of Laos, for instance - and similar in every case), to nocturnal fish sounds, to HAARP. The localization of these phenomena, however, suggest that there may be some unknown machine type that produces the 'Hum'.

     What do you think causes the Hum?

On The Influencing Machine

Pop culture is rife with the idea of technological mind control; the jokes about people wearing ‘tin foil hats’ to protect them from the ‘mind control satellites’ are endless, even recently parodied in a Weird Al video. Don’t worry, I’m not going to try and convince you all that mind control satellites are real.

No, what I’m going to talk about is something both older and more disturbing, but with the same general idea behind it.

In 1919, a man named Victor Tausk - one of the disciples of Sigmund Freud, and thus one of the founding members of the psychoanalytical movement - published a work entitled “On the origin of the ‘Influencing Machine’ in Schizophrenia”. Shortly after its publication, he wrote farewell notes to several people, including the woman to whom he was soon to be wed, and committed suicide via simultaneous hanging and gunshot. “I have no melancholy,” he said in one note, “My suicide is the healthiest, most decent deed of my unsuccessful life.”
In private correspondence, Freud commented: “I confess that I do not really miss him; I had long since realised that he could be of no further service; indeed that he constituted a threat to the future.”. An intriguing turn of phrase. What sort of threat could he have posed? Perhaps the answer lies in that essay that was published briefly before his death.

The essay describes a common delusion/hallucination going as far back as the 1700s, where a sufferer believes that an elaborate mechanical device, termed the ‘influencing machine’ by Tausk, is the source of their suffering. Sometimes described as machines of a ‘mystical nature’, they purportedly worked by means of radio waves, x-rays, telepathy, or more esoteric means, operated by enemies as a means of mind-control and torture. Although the particulars vary from case to case, they’re thought to be able to implant and remove thoughts and feelings, and inflict pain, from a distance.
The earliest well-recorded case is that of James Tilly Matthews, noted in psychiatric books as the first known case of paranoid schizophrenia. He believed that there was a group of people who were influencing political figures through controlling their emotions and reading their minds, by means of an ‘air loom’ that emitted magnetic rays. These supposed criminals bore names such as ‘The Middleman’, and ‘The Glove Woman’. Although he was condemned to asylums until his death, it is interesting to note that he was believed sane by family, friends, and even at least one asylum owner.
There are other cases, well-documented, that I will not cover in detail here - Jakob Mohr and Nataljia A are names to look up, should the reader be so inclined to do more research. An interesting note is that some ‘Influencing Machines’ included the form of the sufferer, and slowly over time came to be more mechanical as they became more entangled in the cogs and wheels of the Machine.

It does not take a brilliant man to note the resemblance between these claims and the ‘mind control satellites’ of more recent years. Perhaps merely a common theme of a particular sort of madness, a representation of a sufferer’s fear that increased industrialization and progress will lose the essence of the individual.
But if so… what did Freud see as the threat behind Tausk’s work? What did he fear might be revealed, that would be so damaging to the world?

What do you think, readers? Mere insanity, or could these people have seen something we cannot?

Absence...

     Hello, readers.

     I apologize for the terrible article that was the front page of my blog for the past month or two; I was unfortunately dealing with some major issues and didn't notice that some asshole - probably government -  had swiped my password and posted something to make me look like one of the typical tinfoil-hats that they can just brush away.

     I cannot be brushed away.

     I'll be posting a series of articles soon, that I think will be eye-opening, if you understand them. You should keep watching this space, if you want to know the truth.

Aliens or Faeries?

ALIENS OR FAERIES?

     The above picture was captured in River Legacy Park, a perfect circle of dead earth in which nothing lived. The area was confirmed to be empty previously, the circle seemingly forming instantly overnight with nothing visible to cause it. In the same area, a young woman has disappeared mysteriously - we are currently withholding the name of the victim before further research for the sake of her family, but look for a future article on the subject. Animal prints belonging to an as-yet-unidentified animal were found in the area. Strange atmospheric phenomena have also been noticed in the area.

     Research into the area has determined that there have been many disappearances in the park - disappearances, and deaths due to 'animal mauling'. Many of these have been covered up by the authorities, brushed beneath the carpet and the media encouraged to ignore them.

     So we have a series of events -- disappearances, mutilations, circles in the ground, signs of unusual creatures, and atmospheric disturbances. To the modern eye, this may seem symptomatic of alien activity, remembering instances of UFO abductions, of crop circles, of cattle and human mutilations. However, if one looks back into history, they find legends of faerie abductions, of faerie rings, of strange lights in the sky, of the 'unpleasant deaths' of men and their cattle when the fae are disturbed.

     Are the old stories of faeries really just stories of UFOs and aliens before mankind knew better? Or has popular culture made us see faerie incidents as UFOs and aliens? Or are they, in fact, two different - yet similar - things?

     Let's hear your opinions, readers.

Strange Skies

    

                                         

Have you seen these clouds?

     I've seen them myself in the skies above Dallas. Triangles, squares, other nearly perfect geometric shape formed from cloudstuff. It doesn't take a meteorologist to know that clouds simply do not do this sort of thing on their own. Nature does not, as a rule, tend to produce such shapes -- especially not this many of them. It's not a fluke, that's for sure. So what's causing these cloud formations? There's a few possibilities.

1. Natural Phenomenon. I think we can rule this out; maybe one anomalous cloud formation might be natural, but dozens of them, all in the same general geometric shapes? If you think that could be natural, I have a bridge to sell you.
2. Holographic Projection. It's entirely possible that these 'cloud shapes' aren't real at all, and are being holographically projected onto the skies. While most holograms can be easily distinguished from the 'real thing' up close, the distance and the natural 'broken up' outline of clouds would make it impossible.
3. Chemtrail Side Effect. We've seen frequent chemtrails dispersed in the skies above Dallas; could these be related? It's not out of the question that the chemicals might be designed to 'cluster' together in particular formations for a time before dispersing.
4. HAARP. As Chossudovsky informed us some time ago, the HAARP facility is fully online and already manipulating the ionosphere. It seems entirely within the capabilities of this technology to create such unusual cloud formations.

     But above and beyond the 'how' we need to wonder the 'why'. One of my contacts believes that these cloud formations are in fact a message. Much like numbers stations, the cloud patterns are being used to deliver messages in code to agents on the ground. If one knew when they would appear and for how long, they could access such messages which would soon disperse, and be mistaken for simple clouds. We don't have enough pictures to take a crack at deciphering the code yet, but we're working on it, and we'll pass on news to our readers.

     If any of our readers see such clouds, take pictures and send them in for analysis. And if anyone has any theories or evidence of their own, let us know!

     The truth is out there... and, perhaps, up there.

LOST ARCHIVES

     You might notice that most of the archives are gone; a hacker got access to the site and deleted all of the archives. Joke's on him, I keep backups. I won't repost them immediately, but from time to time I'll dig up some old posts to toss out there when I feel the world needs a refresher.
