Fake News: Operation: Black & Blue - The #BLM Bundy Conspiracy

Charlottesville Murder Hoax

The Bundy Conspiracy features so many players, they wouldn't fit in the title -- or even this post!  The #BLM Conspiracy is a wide-ranging, ongoing Human Terrain operation meant to secure largely suburban areas in order to seize land and holdings, as well as identify and neutralize counterinsurgents.

Please forgive the rambling, as this is a sprawling conspiracy requiring a lot of back-and-forth between threads.  The #BLM Conspiracy actually comprises several conspiracies that lead to it, and developed from it.  Plus, the cover stories keep changing, and it's hard to cover them all in their entirety while maintaining the story at the core of the conspiracy.  Remember that rabbits live in burrows, not mere holes.

In 2014, the US Federal government conspired to seize land in Nevada rightfully settled by the Bundy family for use in Black Ops involving space-capable, nuclear-powered craft, as well as the mining of precious metals such as Uranium.  The US Federal government claims to own the mineral rights to all land in the nation, and can use Eminent Domain to seize any and all lands it determines worthwhile to its continued insurgency.  

Bear in mind that the District of Columbia is an autonomous entity not directly in the United States, and not directly affiliated with America (excepting Texas) -- technically distinguishing it as a foreign entity (FARA).  At the time of this writing, DC has continually refused to register as a foreign entity, choosing instead to shutdown and restructure several times over.

I guess they're hoping we forget it and move on?

FOX News, run by the Mafia-connected Murdoch family of Australia, colluded to discredit the elder Cliven Bundy in the original dust-up, by luring him into taboo (in America) discussions on race -- specifically, black Americans -- after armed militias showed up to lend their support and were terrorized by armed government agents in those black helicopters tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists talk about.  But the ragtag militia refused to leave.

In 2016, some of Bundy's supporters stormed the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.  Federal agents opened fire on the dissenters, murdering one in cold blood.  Four separate trials found all participants Innocent and charges against them were dismissed in 2017.  The Federal agent was never charged for murder, but the DOJ allegedly opened an investigation into Federal prosecutors for withholding evidence and other questionable practices.

In response, the Bureau of Land Management organized "competing" cultural elements known collectively as #BLM (an acronym for the Federally-backed syndicate so they can later claim to have legally "disclosed" their identity) to create an Hegelian Dialectic along racial lines:

On one side was the Black Lives Matter "movement," run by the Black Mafia Family (or BMF, for short) under the auspices of the lighter-than-light-skinneded Shaun King; on the other was the Blue Lives Matter "movement," run by the whiter-than-white Richard Spencer, a high-powered lobbyist for the Washington State Police.

Again, both of these "competing" terrorist organizations were founded, organized, funded, and run by the Bureau of Land Management -- or #BLM -- and both collected sensitive, personal information and donations from civilians and citizens under false pretenses.  They also received huge donations from the Anti-Defamation League (JDL), AIPAC/OPEC, and innumerable NGOs and Super-PACs associated with the same.  Those terrorist organizations received the majority of their funding for Operation: Black and Blue from major tech companies claiming to fight racism while simultaneously silencing (American, Canadian, and now Venezuelan) "Left"-leaning news outlets, and accounts run by those opposing war and violence.

The rest of the money that should have been legally declared was laundered through megachurches in Texas, primarily in the Houston and Austin areas, as well as universities in Texas (Austin) and California (Berkley) -- as most of the Human Terrain were recruited from college campuses.  The mob elements are recruited from gangs, and informants with pending "deals."

Like ISIS before them, these military operatives' terrorist activity also extended to social media, where they began a heated and violent campaign against all-comers under the flag, #BLM.  They established "troll farms" with the help of the US military -- specifically, the Air Force (USAF) out of Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina [District 7] -- and terrorized, intimidated, harassed, and silenced everyone who dared dissent.  They also infiltrated oppositional forums, websites, and organizations -- usually by Felonious Access and Identity Theft (hacking accounts and posing as someone these organizations trusted).

Both syndicates terrorized the nation with pre-planned riots that fell squarely on the historical dates of actual protests by actual African-Americans.  Black gangbangers, mostly associated with the Latin Kings, and South Carolina military operatives -- mostly recruiters -- under the auspices of Senator Lindsay Graham and others, burned historic black churches and "tagged" historical monuments with racist graffiti in false flag attacks meant to inflame and incite.

And incite it did:

Richard Spencer's "Blue Lives Matter" movement, working in tandem with the US media conglomerate, used prisoners on release programs -- as well as embedded agents from the DHS, FBI, and DoD -- to throw a White Supremacy Party (or some such nonsense) in Charlottesville, VA, just a few miles from the Commonwealth Barracks if... if you can believe that.

Their online antics had stirred-up a frenzy on both sides, so they expected a decent turn-out.  The actual purposes of this Jerry Springer Show Gone Wild display were to

1) Attract and arrest suspected gangmembers and criminals with outstanding warrants,

2) ID members of the counterinsurgency movements on both sides of the political aisle, and
3) Press the best and the brightest (well, strongest and meanest) into military service as an option to serving time.

While there, a woman who had once been arrested, Heather Heyer, was allegedly killed.  Interestingly, she is the spitting image of alleged NSA "informant," "Reality Winner," from Shaun King's The Intercept "news" site -- a CoIntelPro operation openly engaged in Sedition.  The Intercept is better known for its "counterinsurgency" efforts in locating "whistleblowers" -- such as Heather Heyer "Reality Winner."

"Reality Winner," of course, never existed... or "Heather Heyer" never died.  We're not sure which, as there is also a strong possibility that the two are twins.  The theory is that Heyer was arrested as an activist (or any other reason), then given the option of jail time or working for the Feds, and chose the latter.  She may also have been sent to psych in lieu of jail.  This is only a theory, but those pictures side-by-side are damn convincing.

It was later proven that those who organized the rally were, in fact, military recruiters, and one Jason Kessler who had something to do with Occupy Wall Street (under Barack Obama) a mere two years earlier.  Also, Richard Spencer was selling weapons to the black Streetgangs involved in the myriad protests and "counter-protests" around the nation.  The Big Six media failed to mention that the counter-protestors brought projectiles that included human waste, and began attacking the allegedly White Nationalist... pride fest?  Something about a statue, I don't know -- their story kept changing.  Somewhere along the way, #CutTheCheck started trending on Black Twitter, and Shaun King lost his shit.

Again, it's an awful lot of activity from the same people leading-up to the event, then they all more or less disappeared from the spotlight.  But, on with the conspiracies (there are, as mentioned above, a lot of them here -- Inciting this theater of hate was a big set-piece in their "Every White Person is a Racist Sexist Homophobe Who Works for Russia" narrative, then they all wanted to distance themselves from all the Murders):

One of the #BLM leaders was murdered while riding on a bike in New Orleans; another committed suicide on the courthouse steps; and still another's corpse was found in a burned-out car.  Officials in Louisiana, long a hotbed of corruption, immediately responded by declaring policemen a separate race, protected under new ordinances that are redundant and un-Constitutional.  In so doing, New Orleans officials and police officers -- many of whom are directly connected to streetgangs, themselves -- tacitly admitted their collusion... and made themselves Persons of Interest in all those pesky Murders.

As an aside, let me just note:  Which is easier to believe here?  That all of this is "tinfoil hat black helicopter conspiracy theorist" nonsense, or that policemen are a separate race?  Because they are criminalizing "conspiracy theories," and legally designating policemen a race separate from human.  ANYwho...

On December 20^th, 2017, a judge ruled that the Federal government had withheld evidence in the third Bundy case, and declared a mistrial.  

In retaliation, the next day, the BLM illegally removed Confederate statues from the Black Mafia-controlled Memphis, TN (where I'm from, originally), and had them destroyed.  Others were removed from display around the city, but allegedly placed somewhere safe.  The same has been done around the country in order to save the war memorials from vandals working for, or with, the US Federal government and its military under direction of the Bureau of Land Management -- most notably at the University of Texas Austin.

In fact, at the time of this editing ¹, Kessler and sundry Fake Right/ANTIFA terrorist military operatives "activists" are planning to recreate their carnage in a commemorative mockery on August 12^th, 2018.  Several Conservative organizations and outlets have distanced themselves from the planned event, only to find themselves silenced by Twitter.  Welcome to the club!

It appears a False Flag event is in-play.

If anyone shows up, they will mostly be out-of-towners -- way out of town, as evidenced by their European accents -- arriving in "party" bang tour buses that ship these crisis actors and professional mercenaries around the country.  Some literally bear the name "Storm" on the side.  They are protected by the Mafia (FBI/DHS and also the Police Union -- specifically the aforementioned, Florida, Las Vegas/Carson City, and LAPD) to which they are subservient, and will remain so until "murdered" and whisked-off into the Federal Witness Protection Program... never to be seen again (except on CNN and in the Philippines).

We have posts scheduled that delve into what Human Terrain is, as well as a lot more involving the #BLM and associated conspiracies, but we're expecting to be yanked any day now.  If you can't view it here for any reason, there is an excellent, and comprehensive, award-winning documentary from 2010 which explains the weaponization of culture (Human Terrain Systems) in depth.  Search "Human Terrain Mapping" if you really want to scare yourself.

The same disparate players -- I'll mention Lindsey Graham again -- then murdered some 55 people in Las Vegas (Operation: Credible Threat) on OCT 1, 2017.  And several more eyewitnesses to the event later.  We have already covered O.C.T., but we're still investigating for later reports.

(Should Jack Dorsey or Mark Zuckerberg be concerned?  Eric Schmidt isn't.)

This is one of them big 'uns.

Texan Carves Pentagram into Son

A 39-year-old Texan man called 911 operators to tell them he had "shed some innocent blood" yesterday. When asked what he meant by that, the man admitted to carving a pentagram into his 6-year-old son's back to commemorate 12-12-12, "a holy day," he said. The mother of the boy called moments later from a neighbor's house to report the crime.

The boy was discharged from the hospital today. His wounds were not life threatening and are believed to have been made by a box cutter recovered at the scene. 12-12-12 was the last triple digit day of this century but it is not considered "holy" by any known religion. Pentagrans are most often associated with Satanism and paganism in general, despite the fact that the symbol is actually supposed to be a protective sigil against evil.

Texas Caveman Discovered

Residents of a small apartment complex in Texas complained of a naked man who lives in a cave near their homes. A local reporter managed to speak to the caveman who said that he had been living in the cave for about three years. Residents say they sometimes see him bathing in their laundry room and working out on the kids' jungle gym. They even suspect him of stealing clothes.

The caveman refused to give his name. When asked what he was doing in the cave, he responded, "Surviving." He offered a pithy message to others to "do more for the community." Most of the interview was conducted while the man was inside the cave with only a portion of his face visible. At the end of the interview, as the reporter is walking away, the man appears briefly to wave goodbye.

Actress Sues Amazon, IMdB

An unnamed actress "of Asian descent," who is from Texas, is suing Amazon for revealing her real age on IMdB.  According to the suit, the actress "cannot physically portray" a 40-year-old woman, yet she is missing roles because IMdB lists her real age and she has such a "youthful appearance."  I'm quoting a lot because the source and suit are so specious (and stupid).

The suit claims the actress, who is listed as Jane Doe, joined IMdB Pro in 2008, and the company listed her real age on her IMdB profile.  The company refused to remove it when asked, so the actress is suing for a cool $75,000 plus $1 million punitive.

Amazon refused to comment on the suit.

Texas Man Attacks Woman, Claims to be Vampire

19-year-old Lyle Monroe Bensley was growling and hissing in a parking lot wearing only his boxer shorts when police found him. They were called after Bensley broke into a woman's home in Galveston, Texas and tried to drink her blood. Bensley claimed he was a 500-year-old vampire who needed to feed.

The woman was not harmed. Bensley is being held on $40,000 bond and awaits a psychiatric evaluation in a Galveston jail. According to reports, Bensley was not on drugs or medication at the time of the attack and arrest, and asked police to restrain him so he wouldn't kill them.

The Lake Worth Monster - Texas' Bigfoot

Though reports of a large creature in the Fort Worth, TX area had been coming in for nearly two months, police dismissed them as pranks until July 10^th, 1969, when six eyewitnesses with an 18" scratch on their car flooded their office one night to report a large, hairy and scaly "monster" which fell from the trees to attack them.

Though they investigated, they found nothing, but the local paper picked-up on the story and ran a feature on the "goat-man" of Fort Worth, Texas. Some described it as nearing 7' in height, and weighing some 300-lbs. The Lake Worth Monster was covered in whitish-grey hair, beneath which most reported scales or scaly skin.

The next day, some 30+ people were gathered to get a glimpse of the Lake Worth Monster, and it did not disappoint. A mass sighting resulted in sheriff's deputies being called to the scene. When some onlookers attempted to approach the creature, it is said it threw a tire at them -- with the rim still inside it!

A famous picture was taken which resembles little more than a cottonball-blob, and at which the photographer now scoffs. The last sighting occurred some two months after the first and police later blamed pranksters, but others are not entirely convinced and no suspects were ever arrested or even accused.

Chupacabra Filmed by Texas Cop?

The first two weeks of July brought as many reports of chupacabra from Texas, including film of an unidentified creature recorded by a policeman's dashboard camera.  25-year-old David Hewitt killed what he said, "looked like a hairless chihuahua, only much bigger."  Hewitt went on to explain how the claws and skinny, pointed tail were completely different from those he has seen on coyotes and wild dogs in the area.

The following video [removed - ed.] shows footage of what some believe to be a chupacabra.  Interesting to note is the gait of the creature: It moves as though the forearms are shorter than the back legs -- which matches the description of the chupacabra. 

It also has hair.

UPDATE: This is an actual photograph of the Chupacabra, also found in Texas.  I received it in 2003. - 2018

Coincidence or Fate?: "Shot Through the Heart"

(With apologies to Bon Jovi)

Henry Ziegland jilted his Texas girlfriend in 1883.  The poor girl was so heartbroken that she took her own life.  Attempting to avenge her death, the girl's brother shot Ziegland.  Believing he had killed him, the girl's brother then took his own life by shooting himself in the head.  However, the bullet fired at Ziegland only grazed his cheek and embedded itself in a tree.

In 1913, Ziegland was trying to cut down that very tree, but found it so difficult that he resorted to using dynamite.  The explosion sent the bullet his ex-girlfriend's brother had fired at him 30 years earlier flying through Henry Ziegland's head, killing him instantly.

San Antonio Bigfoot At It Again

A homeless couple called 911 to report a Bigfoot sighting almost identical to one reported earlier this month. The 911 call, which lasts nearly 10 minutes, features both a man and woman who claim to live in a tent in the woods near Highway 151 and Loop 1604 in San Antonio. The pair both state they saw a Bigfoot.

The woman's description says the thing was 75' away from her, "smelled awful, devoured a whole deer carcass, and then... screeched, and took off across the street." The man said he'd been living in the woods for six years, yet had "...never seen nothing like this." He gave his age as 63.

"And I know you guys are going to think I'm crazy," the woman told the dispatcher, "but I'm dead serious."

Police investigated the incident, but found no sign of the campers or Bigfoot.

Texas Tiger?

Since Tuesday, police in Oyster Creek, Texas say they have received a "handful" of calls from various eyewitnesses claiming a tiger is on the loose in the woods. A spokesperson for the department said they have uncovered no physical evidence, but due to the number of reports, they are investigating the matter seriously. One group claimed to have encountered the creature and, thinking it was a cougar, shined a light on it before fleeing. No one is known to own any tigers in the area, which is illegal. The most recent report came in just this morning.

Again, the reports are of a tiger in the woods, not Tiger Woods.

Texas' Violent Sasquatch At It Again

Texas' Bigfoot has a history of violence.  In one of the handful of Bigfoot accounts in which the creature actually attacked (or tried to) someone, a Texas sheriff claims a white-haired beast threw a tire at him... a tire with the rim still in it!  (Such things are abundant in Texas, apparently even back then.) 

BIGfoot.

There are a few other instances in which eyewitnesses claim the hairy biped (as Bigfoot is also sometimes known) they encountered threatened, chased, or attempted to attack them, but in America, they are fairly rare.  

In certain other countries, however, the Bigfoot (which goes by any number of names, from Yowie to Wildman to Yeti to Sasquatch, and many, many more) is a fearsome, sometimes predatory, and always violent creature to be avoided.  The beast seems to appear on every continent on the planet, excepting the warmer ones, where their "wildmen" are far more ape-like, even by zoological standards.

In a 1977 New Jersey string of encounters, a wildman Sasquatch was credited for the killing of several neighbors' rabbits.  It tore through barns to get to the rodents (rabbits are rodents, aren't they?) and was seen by several eyewitnesses.  While studies were performed on the carcases and the area canvassed, no real evidence was ever discovered.  It did, however, "swat" a snarling attack dog some 20' aside.  

BIGfoot.

And so it came to pass the other night that San Antonio police were bombarded with calls reporting a "Sasquatch" and "large, hairy man over 6' 3" which had just killed a deer -- with its bare hands -- and dragged the fricking thing into the woods!  

BIGfoot.

According to police, though almost all of the calls came from "homeless" people, they "sounded scared, and surprisingly sober."  Police did not look for the creature.

TX Schools Required to Teach the Bible

Texas' Teachin'

A controversial and confusing law passed in 2007 is being enacted in schools across the state of Texas this year: All public schools must teach some kind of information pertaining to the Holy Bible.

The law -- intentionally confusingly-worded (there's a Tower named for that) -- has been hotly-contested in some arenas, even by educators, but sources say they are not necessarily required to indoctrinate unwitting and impressionable minds into a religion which is increasingly centered around hatred, and is historically corrupt.  Apparently, the course(s) are to inform students of the Bible's impact on history and culture.

Then they're gonna rape them.  Praise G.O.D.

Biblical Aliens

I don't touch deeply on my own, personal religious beliefs very often here because they do not necessarily have a place in most of the discussions. Further, while I do have some deeply-held religious beliefs, when dealing in these areas, they are often used against you, so I find it best to largely leave my personal feelings on such matters aside.

Having said all of this, when I come across bizarrely ignorant articles (with which the Internet is so wonderfully rife), I feel a need to point them out for the nonsensical bunk they are. Such is the case with this article by "Babu Ranganathan" ¹ from The Conservative Voice.

I won't bother destroying each and every "point" Ba-Ba-booey here makes because anyone who can actually make it through more than a handful of paragraphs is doing better than I, but I do want to take aim at the author, itself:

This is a subversive work meant to "empower" zealous, Right-Wing "Christians" while simultaneously denigrating their beliefs. "Babu" translates best into "an Indian who writes English, often disparagingly" (see link for source). "Ranganathan" probably corresponds to the Indian scholar ² who developed Colon classification. 

More curiously, a Dr. Rama Ranganathan is a researcher of evolutionary theory... from Texas. Whether or not this is the same guy who wrote the article is unclear but, if it is, he should be deeply ashamed of himself! (For the record, I sincerely doubt the two have anything in common, except the name.)

This is a "hoax" article... or this guy had a seriously bad day and still has some real soul-searching to do to rectify his faith with his beliefs. And science, and the rest of the world, and...

How alien life fits into God's Plan and Creationism is a sticking point for many Christians -- and one I can appreciate -- though it need not be. After all, according to Judaeo-Christian Mythology, the Bible (and the supporting Canon) was written by men generally accepted to have been in the throes of Divine Inspiration, which others call the Holy Spirit, and Man is fallible (this, of course, being the very basis of the Christian faith and the entire point of the story of the Garden of Eden!); these men would be largely unconcerned with what we, today, call "alien life." In fact, had they witnessed such, they likely would have thought it/them to be angels, demons, or some other embodiment of the religious/mythological figures and personae in which they believed.

Men writing in Biblical Times would -- according to what we think we know today -- have had no more reason to include alien life forms in their religion, mythology, or various disciplines and bodies of knowledge than we have of including lifeforms, shapes, colors, dimensions, or anything else with which our own knowledge of science does not account for. In fact, while there is some evidence that certain cultures had access to aerial vehicles (notably balloons), popular theory holds that men of ancient times had no means of becoming productively airborne, so whatever would lead them to think of intelligent life up there? (Read on!)

Yet this all comes with a caveat:

According to many, the Bible does mention UFOs -- in many forms. The Book of Enoch, excised from the Bible for numerous reasons, is seen by some as evidence of an alien abduction. According to the excellent The Bible UFO Connection ³, there are at least 362 references to what can be construed as UFOs or aliens in the accepted version of the King James Bible. In fact, the most probable translation of the word, "Heaven" is sky -- that's why people point up when they refer to it!

Of course, most of this is conjecture -- yet not of the faith-based variety; what has been accepted as The Word of God came from many languages ⁴ and has been translated many times throughout the ages. In fact, therein lay the argument against the concept of Hell itself (as "sheol" can also be translated as "death" and the Bible makes it fairly clear that those who die without Salvation are doomed to forever be without God, not burning in lakes of fire nor anything so cinematically horrific). The corruption of the source material, through both translation across many languages as well as transcriber error (the handwritten documents were made by translators and scribes until the advent of the printing press, ca. the 15^th-Century), as well as many changes made by the Church, the Court, and countless other factions, means we will probably never know what "God's Word" -- that which was to be recorded and dispersed by the faithful of his flock -- ever was!

But, neither the existence of alien life nor cryptozoological finds preclude the Word of God, the Bible, nor Christianity. And unchecked zealotry of the weirdest kind, as exemplified in the aforementioned "article," should be dismissed out-of-hand for the Bible-beating nonsense it really is.

Vodka With a Bite!

A Texan rancher has been arrested for selling vodka spiked with rattlesnake!

"Bayou Bob" Popplewell has run Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch for over 20 years. He raises and sells rattlesnakes and turtles and has never had a problem. But his latest business endeavor, consisting of a rattlesnake bottled in the cheapest vodka available -- which he refers to as "an ancient Asian elixir" -- has landed him in court.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission found 429 bottles of "snake vodka," and one bottle of "snake tequila." Selling at nearly $25.00/bottle, that's nearly $10k worth of booze! Unfortunately, Bayou Bob forgot to get his liquor license. He contends the drinks, which he says are super-sweet and comparable to cough syrup, are actually a medicinal mixture which many Asians regard as "almost a spiritual thing." And an Asian studies lecturer agrees.

Apparently, the "real" version of snake liquor involves only the snake's bladder, and is thought to improve eyesight and sexual performance -- "the ancient version of Viagra," according to the lecturer.

But the Texas ABC says, "He knows what he's doing." Bayou Bob faces up to one year in jail and a hefty fine. 

Being in Texas, however, if Bayou Bob is found to be functionally retarded, he will be executed.

Issues

Well, as you can clearly see, I am making some progress. However, Blogger has gone down several times the past couple days, which is unusual. In the 2+ years I have been using the service, I have never known the servers to get overloaded -- and it has happened at least 4-5 times since yesterday.

Of course, much of what I am doing requires me to go through old posts, change a few tags, then republish them. Since it sometimes takes 3-4 minutes or longer for it to publish via FTP, I kept putting it off. I moved the blog back onto the BlogSpot servers to circumvent that. I hope I am not the one breaking Blogger, but if I am... you know. 

Fuck them.

God knows I have sat around for days on-end, waiting for posts to go through FTP! Besides, Google is the online Microsoft and that drives me nuts -- it isn't like they're hurting for money, for fuck's sake! If you offer a free service like Blogger, then you should have your ducks in a row! Don't tell me Google can't afford servers!

Maybe if they cleared out all the search histories they keep, we wouldn't be experiencing outages? Just a thought.

Anyway, still working on the tags -- I'm about ³/₄ of the way through. After that, it's back to the design itself. I will republish the blog to the site tonight, but you may still be redirected to BlogSpot occasionally over the next few weeks [This was in 2008 - ed.], as I continue to tweak things. All I am doing with the tags right now is streamlining them; once the list is down to a manageable size, I will eventually go back through and work on assigning them properly so that it is easier to find posts.

Scientists Frantically Trying to Disprove TX UFO

A new, and quite in-depth, article from Newsweek details how scientists are trying to disprove the existence of UFOs by, once again, explaining them away "logically."

While the article is actually very detailed and paints a sympathetic portrait of scientists to UFO witnesses, we here to The OddBlog know that this is not an accurate portrayal of the scientific community as a whole. While some may truly be sympathetic -- even empathetic (having had their own "experiences") -- to witnesses, most are condescending know-it-alls who fall back on the age-old "scientific explanations" saw.

Most of these simple "explanations" are intellectually insulting and thoroughly belittling, not only to witnesses, but to everyone.  The idea that highly-trained Air Force pilots would mistake a flock of geese at several-thousand feet, or that "swamp gas" can rise a mile into the air and fool entire towns, are just some of the "plausible" explanations forwarded by scientists and researchers in the past.  But, with the advancement of science comes the advancement of their "plausible" explanations, with today's belittlements relying on far more advanced descriptions of magnetic fields, brain activity, pop-culture iconography (Jung), and so forth.

Now, I would be remiss if I did not admit that such things definitely are factors in some percentage of reported UFO events, but such reports are remiss when they do not admit that not all UFO-related events can be so easily dismissed.   In fact, governments around the world have documented cases that "cannot be explained."

This is a case of "a part masquerading as the whole," which we have discussed many times before: Just because some cases can be explained by such means does not mean they all can.  My favorite analogy (which I cannot take credit for) is the one that states, just because you can counterfeit money does not mean that all money is worthless.

While advancements in this type of research are important to ufology, they can also be dangerous.  Minor advancements and limited successes in these fields and with these theories have a tendency to encourage even well-meaning scientists to start "explaining-away" accounts before they collect the evidence; e.g., dismissing actual evidence in favor of "accepted" theoretical explanations of unexplained phenomena.

Even Spiders Do It Bigger in Texas

A sprawling mass of cobwebs covering a 200-yard area in a Texas state park has officials and experts buzzing.  According to Donna Garde, superintendent of the Lake Tawakoni State Park about 40 miles from Dallas, the webbing was found just recently and has become a main attraction for some, while others refuse to go anywhere near it.  She is hoping that some experts come to view it, but none have so far.

According to one entomologist, the web may have been created by social cobweb spiders or mass dispersal in which spiders spin webs to distance themselves from one another.   He also notes that while many people are unaware of it, this is not exactly unusual -- rare, but not unheard of.   John Jackman, author of the book, A Field Guide to the Spiders and Scorpions of Texas and entymologist for Texas A&M, says he hears such reports about once every few years.

Roswell's 60th Anniversary

60 years ago this week, something crashed into the field on a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico.  This weekend, the small town is hosting a festival dedicated to believers.

In the minds of many, the fiasco down to Roswell is the Holy Grail of Ufology, but it isn't.   In fact, as far as actual records, witnesses, and pure data goes, the incident which occurred in Sgah Harbor really trumps whatever occurred in Roswell.  But I do think something happened there.  Whether or not it had to do with UFOs is debatable, but the idea that grown men and women wouldn't be able to identify Scotch tape with little hearts and diamonds on it is absurd.

And as far as that goes, Project Mogul was shut down like 50 years ago!  Why in the world did they wait so long to reveal that information if that is, in fact, what actually fell to the ground that fateful day?  The operation during which they dropped mannequins did not occur until more than a decade after the Roswell Incident.

Roswell has embraced its alleged UFO history, hosting numerous UFO-related conventions and conferences throughout the years.
