Genoa, Italy

My plane landed in Genoa, Italy about an hour ago and I'm now speeding down the highway in an Alpha Romeo taxi cab. The drivers here in Italy are excellent and serious AF and they like to open it up on the freeway. These are not your typical

Let's Take Another Look At The Science Fantasy Movie Phantasm (1979)

When I was in high school I saw an interesting science fantasy horror film by the name of Phantasm. This film caught my attention for a number of reasons but not all these reasons would resonate with understanding until many years, indeed, decades later. To be clear, the movie caught

Who Buried Joe?: 'Biden Is Dead' Conspiracy Theories Coming In Fast And Strong

It was only two weeks ago that Trump was hit on the ear by an assassin’s bullet but it already feels like a lifetime. Like we’ve lived with this event all our lives. It has become instantly etched into the Mount Rushmore of our collective memory banks as

Vincent Fusca And The Return of JFK Jr. - A Conspiracy Theory For Our Times

A presidential assassination or an attempt at one is jet fuel for conspiracy theories and the term itself arose in the wake of the 1963 JFK assassination. Essentially it pits two apposing paradigms against one another, to whit: the 'Lone Gunman' theory vs a 'cabal of conspirators.

Jimmy Page, Kenneth Anger And The Curse Of Led Zeppelin

It was a rough time for Led Zeppelin. It really should have been the best of times but you can say, in the history of the band it was the worst which culminated in the band's ultimate demise. I am referring to the period starting in 1976. The

Interview With Alice Hendrickson On Art, Kurds And Turkey

It is hard to believe but true. It's been ten years (2014) since I first interviewed artist Alice Hendrickson. This was during the period of brutal rampage by the terrorist organization ISIS through parts of the Middle East culminating in the siege of Kobani, a town in northern

Breaking Down New Vatican Guidelines For Unexplained Phenomena

The Catholic Church, for some odd reason, has found it necessary to update its guidelines on how to classify supernatural phenomena. This intrigues me no end but really, it sounds like a bulletin one might receive from MUFON or even the Brooklyn Paranormal Society. I mean it's fun

Blood Curdling First Official Portrait of King Charles III Upends The Internet

The unveiling of the first official portrait of King Charles III is unleashing a firestorm of debate on social media. And rightly so. This hideous caricature of the King is so loathsome it warrants a backlash and begs for some explanation. Unveiled on Tuesday at Buckingham Palace, the painting is

Exploring The Marfa Ghost Lights of Highway 67 In West Texas

The Marfa Ghost Lights of West Texas is an aerial phenomenon that has been plaguing the region for time untold. Imagine you're driving along one night, on a lonely stretch of open desert. Perhaps you're a salesman or a businessman or you're driving towards

Otto Rahn, Heinrich Himmler And The Nazi Search For The Holy Grail

Otto Rahn was born on 18 February 1904 in Middlestadt, Germany. Growing up in this bucolic environment steeped in folklore as it were exposed Rahn to Nordic myths. He became enamored with tales of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table. He held these stories to be a matter

Slab City, California: Military Bases, UFOs And Things That Go BOOM!

I’m having a drink at the Red Rum Room Bar in Slab City. This is an outdoor bar and the desert sun is beating down on us. I’m talking to 'Uncle Shaun' who currently lives in Slab City. “The military is on the other side of

KONA BLUE - Reverse Engineering The Philadelphia Experiment

The Pentagon declassified KONA BLUE on April 16, 2024, a 56-page report outlying a proposed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that would provide congressional oversight on UFO recovery and reverse engineering technology.

Bicycle Day: The Time When Albert Hoffman Tripped Balls And Unleashed L.S.D.

Today, millions of people around the world are sparking up a joint, filling a bowl, sucking on a water bong, etc. in celebration of April 20 or, as it is in the vernacular, 4-20. How the weed heads have hit upon this date as their official day of worship of

Troubled Waters: What's The Problem With Barges, Boats & Bridges?

I almost lost my lunch when I heard reports that a massive cargo ship had lost control in the New York Harbor and was drifting dangerously close to the Verrazano Bridge. That Bridge is one I drive over often, as it connects Brooklyn to Staten Island. It is my access

Radar Spots Massive Underwater Anomaly Off Coast of Africa

It's been a turbulent week, literally. Seven days ago the earth started shaking in the Northeastern portions of the US. A 4.8 magnitude was registered on the Richter scale not far from New York City. Yes it rattled the tea cups in the cupboard here I ain&

Netanyahu & The End Time Prophecy Of The Rebbe Schneerson

A pause in the Israeli offensive on Gaza, that is, the withdrawal of all IDF brigades except for one left in the enclave, are leading to speculations of a pending hostage deal. Or maybe a capitulation to the US in response to the airstrike fiasco that killed seven World Central

Aleister Crowley, CERN & The Solar Eclipse - What Could Go Wrong?

There’s a lot of High Strangeness surrounding the date of April 8, 2024. The much ballyhooed Solar Eclipse. The path of that eclipse slices through Mexico, US, Canada and beyond. When superimposed over the path of the 2017 eclipse, we have a nicely formed X symbol right over the

Red Cows And The Apocalypse: Motivations Behind The War In Gaza

I’m no Middle East expert. The tensions there have been going on for so long, with so many permutations of geo-political, financial and religious layers that it would confound the experts. Struggles between Shia and Sunnis. Arab nations in conflict. West vs East dynamics. Religious friction between Christianity, Islam

Art & Tragedy: Strange Synchronicity In The Baltimore Bridge Collapse

Tragedy. Horrible tragedy. That’s what I woke up to Tuesday morning. The horrific sight of the Francis Scott Key Bridge toppling into the Baltimore Harbor. And of course the ensuing loss of life. Initial reports warned of a Mass Casualty Situation, as the bridge was part of the Baltimore

I Attended The First UAP/UFO Disclosure Rally In New York City

It was a brisk morning. Thursday morning, March 21. Second day of spring. It felt more like February but at least it wasn’t raining. Midtown Manhattan was bustling. People on the go. Making money moves. The metropolis was abuzz. I exited the subway at Grand Central Station and headed

Kate Is Dead/Paul Is Dead: Parallels Between Two Conspiracy Theories

55 years ago, in the summer of 1969, something unusual happened. Something so bizarre in fact, that it took hold of the public imagination and became a media sensation. This no less, in a heavy news cycle that was already bombarded with coverage of the Vietnam War, social unrest, assassinations,

Apocalypse Barbie: Occult Themes In 'Barbenheimer' Movie

This week the Oscar race was run. Barbenheimer, the moniker given to the double feature sensation of last summer featuring Barbie and Oppenheimer, came home with armfuls of the coveted Academy Awards. Like most people, I paid to see one film, in this case Oppenheimer. Like some people, after it

Monoliths And The Disappearance Of Kate Middleton

This is an odd story. Odd even by standards of 'odd' stories. As well, it will touch upon the Royal Family of England. I’m not a ‘royal watcher’ and don’t generally have much interest in talking about them but, maybe I should. We will get to
