The Real Story

Don’t ask me why we had to live in the most ridiculous squalour, but my Father had some strange ideals about the working class underdog hero even in the military. His parents were escapees from the household of the Marquis of Salisbury otherwise known as the Cecils, descendants of the notorious Prime Minister of Elizabethan times. His father was the grandson of the concubine relationship between my great-great gran and the Marquis. The only reason he dragged me to that estate in Hatfield, was to compete with my mother’s revelings of Hapsburg society in the usual underhanded way. Being the critical git that I am from my maternal grandfather’s genes, I was not one to buy into any of it. Neither the “Upstairs Downstairs” mentality, nor selective inbreeding in any form despite what promises of higher education and ettiquette for god and country. My Opa taught me that despite all good lessons in honour and self-respect from old Fritz, the monarchy was on its last legs of degeneracy with nothing viable to fill the void that followed. Bismarck, in all his senility, inevitably conceded to Hitler assuming to be the voice of the new generations. He didn’t see the devil in the detail of “Mein Kampf”, let alone just how senselessly life was lost in the megalomania of WWI. As if for god’s will, we’re all just servants to the cause. That seemed to be the bottom line of all that psychosis. The polemic all these people were operating on, even my father in his own twisted way. Don’t let that fool you, my Opa said, listen to your inner voice, question everything. Only you can know and feel what YOU need to survive in this insane world. My Opa was a med A in the Kaiser’s Cavalry. He spent 8 years looking after the inmates of a POW camp in Sarajevo. In that time my Oma filed a divorce that landed my mother in a Catholic orphanage. I remember the horror stories about the brutality of those nuns. She was scarcely reunited with her father a couple of years when the gestapo came around and put him away for refusing to salute Hitler. Like most adolescents without parents, she landed in the military, the Luftwaffe to be precise. She became a flight technician and test flew nearly everything they had. When the Russians invaded that base, she fled with a friend for the American lines. She made the last train out of Dresden before it was bombed flat. Hid out in Prag until the Russians closed that border too. Finally she made it to Frankfurt and worked as a telephone switchboard operator. Her brother finally found her to say that Opa had been freed from prison and given the job as Employment Director in Hameln.

There she worked as the secretary for the British CO and met my father one night. She was driving an APC around the parade square for laughs. My father was immediately impressed. Unfortunately some nazi had it in for women “selling out to the occupation” and tried to kill her. After spending two weeks in a coma from severe cranial fractures and frontal lobe trauma she could only speak English. Everyone tells me it was so gentlemanly of my father to marry her despite the damage, but his story is he desperately wanted out of the barracks. The fact is I was born 6 months later in Fort Erie, Ontario, and he was out of the service until he rejoined four years later. He was in the sheet metal business with his brothers until he got sick of them catering to the New York mafia. Alot of them lived there to evade taxes and launder money at the race track. I’ve seen some of those tacky villas with the fancy aluminum siding, gaslit swimming pools and ugly plastic flamingo figures all over the lawn. Obviously money couldn’t buy them much in the way of aesthetics. People inclined to shun my mother because of her handicap. My father and his brothers only made fun of that while I became a problem child for all the mismanagement. He never did anything to improve her condition, rather saw her as a means of keeping people at a distance. Whatever abuses I suffered from this was irrelevant, as long as people looked away. Of course, when they didn’t it was my fault, so I was pretty well on my own as far as parental guidance was concerned. Still I don’t share his miserable views on life that should belong in a Fellini movie.

What goes around comes around

Back in 2009 I abandoned the UK Pagan community with a few heathen refugees who had found homage on a Ning site more international to our tastes. The problem with UKP turned out to be a cold war between heathens and the OBOD instigated by political elements within those ranks, serving their own secret ends for authority over the whole. The problem with the UK itself has always been its three-state/three-class system, one in which the COE dictates the trend of what has rights and privileges as a religion. It seems the game plan was to eliminate secularism within those ranks and manipulate them into three groups, each with its own moral codex. For the heathens it was the Havamal, a questionable set of ethics that arose at the time of Christianization in Scandinavia. Having been raised on German culture, I especially found the “Reformed Heathen” interpretations of these things, more inclined to rhetorical gospel than cultural consistency. That along with the Wiccan “three-fooled law” (as we call it) being dictated on the overall by OBOD as the only “recognized” “Original British Religion” was extremely fabricated to say the least. The OBOD itself persists in denying the fact that the UK’s megaliths are Neolithic and not Phoenician as they would like to assume. Needless to say, that never did fare well with the authorities of UNESCO who demanded proper archaeology of these sites.

In that time before 2009 I had my own problems between these fronts, being sock puppetted by elements seeking gurudom to satisfy their paedophile exploits. That was also aside some ridiculous witch war between two rivaling covens. Either way, they all seemed to have a real problem with science, much like what you find with any religious fanatics. Their ideas of scientific method was like a throwback to a bad 50s Sci Fi, which probably explains the decadent state of the country’s general education system. By the time the heathens wanted me to join ranks, I was wholly fed up with the circus and wanted to pull the plug. The admins were trying to play me for a scapegoat but I got tired of that charade too. The heathens would not heed my warnings that the coven playing for their allegiance was just a set up. What ensued was as I predicted, but they still wouldn’t listen to reason. Nonetheless it all got blamed on me, but that didn’t really matter. The opposition was obsessed with the idea that I was living in the UK otherwise their conspiracy theory about me wouldn’t make sense. Frankly I was not happy over my heathen colleagues dragging me into this, and to what end? I have no need of religious representation in my country. Neither does the church have political authority here, nor is religion/spirituality seen as anything other than personal choice according to the rights of the individual. Well, since then, most of their heathens have turned nazi, thanks to the “Mein Kampf” polemic of no-minds like Nigel Farage, so I’m done with that lot anyway. They can’t even get it through their heads that I really am a genuine heathen. Proof is in the fact that I pay no church tax. Now why is that?

Still I get the odd gaslighting cryptic comments on my FB posts, as if their stupid rules of political correctness should be the center of my universe. It only goes to show just how insular their mentality is, not even aware that maybe us continentals prefer to differ, even have the laws to protect us in doing so...and then they tell me they weren’t for Brexit. Like who’s kidding who? You lot always thought you were so above everyone else. Sorry, no class system here, so run along you brainwashed numpties and stop echoing the words of your Bojo.

Lost Raiders of the Causality Curve

Back in my previous life I knew a guy who was the German translator for the Brigade HQ. An old school Nazi, always referring to his clients as “these Ausländers” whenever we crossed paths, then would start onto me. Naturally my response was “Fuck you Muhlenschulte you Nazi piece of shit”. He had no idea of my family’s legacy, nor did I care to discuss it with him.

I have a friend named Tommy who used to be the proprietor of the popular record store in town, called “Die Schallplatte”. The shop was next door to the old shoemaker and a small white Bistro on the corner, called the “Wolkenkratzer”. We still see each other now and then, as it is we live in the same village. Back then we used to meet at the “Adler Klause” (some country and western bar) on Friday nights to watch the floor show, namely drunken 4 Service guys doing god knows what they were trying to prove. It was great entertainment. Well, Tommy asked me if I knew a guy named Muhlenschulte. I laughed and replied, “Yeah I know that psycho. I don’t know what it is about people that work there too long but they’re all totally mental.”
“They’re all like that?” he asked amazed.
“Unfortunately, each in their own deranged way, but don’t ask me why. I like to keep my private life far away from there, the further, the better.”
”Good god, even working with that lot would be too much for me.”
”No worries, be just as crazy or paranoid as them and they won’t suspect a thing”.
We laughed wholeheartedly, then Tommy proceeded to relate his encounter with the notorious one.

Muhlenschulte had invited him to his apartment for coffee and cake. The first thing that struck Tommy was a huge poster of Hitler above the stack of stereo equipment. As if this wasn’t despairing enough, that huge top-grade sound system was solely there to listen to endless Hitler speeches.
“Oh boy, I imagine you didn’t stick around for long”
“Yeah, looked at my watch and said something about an appointment I had completely forgot”

Well, years later after the crazies all left, there’s Muhlenschulte in our Legion branch acting like the last true Canadian on earth. He tries to engage me with the question if I’ll ever return. “Return where?” I queried back, “I’m a German citizen”. He looks at me shocked, then says, “but I thought you were such a devout and patriotic Canadian”. I looked at him with a smirk, “Maybe what you thought, but I don’t recall you ever asking. As for back, my family’s here. My father is British. His father ran away from Hatfield because he wanted no part of the Cecil legacy. My mother is from Selesia. Her home no longer exists and I never had one, so I guess this discussion has ended.”
Yes, I never saw him again after that. Which is just as well.

The other Nazi nuisance was Partenheimer, always on my case about some political thing or another. What a fit he’d have when I get myself a Kebap at the local Turks. It wouldn’t matter how many times I told him to go fuck himself, that these were friends with all due mutual respect. It would really burn him up when we gathered over a samovar of tea to discuss what the town was up to. I really don’t see what this jerk’s obsession was with me, but I was glad when I no longer had to deal with the legion, leaving his lot stuck in some delusional no-man’s land between here and nigh. Perhaps enjoyed too much privilege in their elitist diplomatic status, that they had to keep up the stigma with pathetic shit like the Canada House and the Old Bastards Club. Man, isn't life a bitch when you've run out of peons? Sometimes it amazes me what people like that try to project, like I'm just some extension of their obvious tunnel vision. Well, they're probably all gone down that tunnel now, so it's not like I really missed anything.

To See or Not to See

I don’t doubt that this world has had the odd discrete visitations, but the story of the Grays I don’t buy as extraterrestrial. There are two problems with this issue, one is covert experiments with implanting false memories through drug induced hypnosis. I know this first hand from an aforementioned acquaintance I had known since 1968 and her involvement with NICAP. As I've said before, Dr. Jacques Vallee was the expert Astrophysicist assigned to explore these  these abduction scenarios, only to find  that the majority were either hypnotically or psychosomatically induced, lacking physical evidence of anything significantly alien. There had also been complaints by other investigative bodies that covert agencies were also trying to exploit their contactees in this way. Needless to say, Dr. Vallee brought this to the table at the 1977 symposium in Geneva, much to the dismay of J. Allen Hynek. Since then, using hypnosis is no longer considered a valid means of obtaining details, regardless whether the experience was real or not. With the way the human mind is wired, it all inclines to be easily suggestive (Mandela effect). Nonetheless, I see the alien ruse as a clever way of false flagging quite earthly controversial research being advanced in secret. In this regard I’m sure conspiracy theories also have their convenience of diversion.


The second problem is the assumption that these CEs are extraterrestrial. Here again I side with Dr. Vallée’s conclusion that these creatures are gene-manipulated throw-backś from a parallel future. In the rare cases of actual CE3s, DNA samples have revealed evidence of such genetic engineering yet no trace of anything extraterrestrial in the mix (and that includes anything microbiologically relevant to such a creature and its living/working space). I find this hypothesis also makes sense with the long human history of similar abduction and loss of time scenarios in countless cultures of the past. However, that does not say that human invention back then was incapable of it’s own artistic license. These days science is discovering that time travel is certainly easier to venture than crossing the eternal void of space and its inhospitable conditions.


Aside from all this, strange lights in the sky do not mystify me. Having always had a fascination for geophysical phenomena, I am not only familiar with their wide variety of characteristics but also understand the physics of it. Particularly interesting is the behaviour of ion plasma in the atmosphere as well as on the surface. While its size and shape can vary with the quasi-hydrostatic conditions, its behaviour is not unlike what pilots have described of their encounters with the unknown. Hence, knowing their quantum nature, I would not be so foolish to pursue such a thing, especially with today’s micro-electronics. Now having said that, do not try to approach me with the subject unless you’re prepared for one hell of an argument over the nature of strange forces in extreme quasi-hydrostatic conditions. To me the Bermuda Triangle is merely the mother of all transcendental phase states like any huge body of complex tidal forces. These are things that fascinate me more than others' paranoid euphoria for mystery like it's a new kind of drug (or religion for that matter).

Do You Yahoo?

It was back in the 80s after my brother’s ordeal in Hamstead, NB, I can’t remember what year. The weather was crap all over central Europe and I had some vacation pending. I told my brother, let’s go to Utrecht and not some tourist trap like Amsterdam. They have great food and bookstores, so we went. When the rain got too much, and we had worn out all the comics in the city coffee shops, we spent the last day in a nearby bar. The bartender was quite the character and asked us where we hailed from. He was trying to get away from a couple of American guys at the end of the bar talking absolute shite. We explained him our quasi-nationality and all the places we’d been. We got into the subject of weird dialects, like being able to understand Luxembourgois if you know German, French and Flemish. At some point I mentioned Cyrillic and learning Russian from my father, when suddenly all eyes were upon me from that end of the bar. They slowly inched up with a barrage of cajolery; suggestive nonsense like “Oh, do you work for the Company? You know, Air America...”

Needless to say, I looked at them gobsmacked à la WTF? Then told them in no uncertain terms to fuck off and die, that they must have worn out their Tom Clancy novels aside from being quite a few blocks short of a Lego set. We carried on conversing with the Bartender to no avail. These whizbangs were bound and determined in their foregone conclusions, but I was not going to give them the privilege of even knowing where I live. They said they were stationed in Heidelberg, “so where are you stationed?” they asked. “Fuck off, I’m not stationed anywhere and I’m certainly not telling you where I live.” “Oh god”, I told my brother under my breath, “these yahoos are definitely 7th Armour Division.” “Is that something to beware of?” asked the Bartender. I answered with the classical European hand sign for “brainwashed numpties”. He nodded, “yeah I figured so”. Well, this nonsense kept up until one of them kept pulling at my sleeve, insisting that I show him my ID. “Piss off, I’m not showing you anything. This isn’t some kind of FKK. The bartender laughed. “Awww come on” they persisted. I finally turned, glaring the blighter in eye as a sardonic grin spread across my mug. “So you want to see my fucking I-card, I’ll show you my fucking I-card...but after I show you my fucking I-card, I’m gonna have to fucking shoot you...” I seethed, reaching inside my jacket. I thought their eyes were going to explode as they threw their money on the bar and left in a flash. The bartender looked around in amazement, then laughed “shit, I’ve been trying to get rid of those guys all day!” Well, as fate would have it, all drinks were on the house after that.

Spook and Humbug

Read two books from the late 80s on psi-tech. A little research for the SciFi story board I'm working on. Good grief, they even got into Kirlian photography. Of course moist surfaces can carry a static charge. It's called viscosity. What did they call it all? "Para-science". Now there's an oxymoron. Then there's "remote viewing" that proved an epic fail in stupid programs like "Stargate" (no, not the annoying SciFi series)...and of all things working with a con artist like Uri Geller. Seriously? Like you can pull this shit out of a hat for tax payer's money. Compared to what medical science knows today about the processes of cognition through various magnetic scan technologies, these nudniks wouldn't even qualify as GPs. Sure, certain frequencies can paralyze or affect various body functions, but mapping thought, no matter what your translation algorithms, is like looking for a needle in a haystack (and that with each individual). You're better off sniffing out biochemical signatures if you really want to know what yon plonker is up to. Leave it to the dogs (or truffle pigs if you like) but man, what alot of spook and humbug. I checked out the authors: Two different names, but much the same dialogue claiming to read Scientific American and understand half of it (nope, not good enough). More likely to go down in history as the mother of all self-inflicted misinformation.

The Alt-Right and other Idiot Farms

Back in March of 2018 the infamous Steve Bannon of Breitbart came to Zürich to hard sell his daft polemic to various racist political no-minds, particularly the AfD. That particular meeting was done in secrecy and involved huge donations to that party.

Here this quote from https://www.loc.gov/law/help/elections/foreign-involvement/germany.php

Political parties in Germany fund their activities mostly through public funding, membership fees, and donations. They may generally accept donations without a limit, however, they are generally forbidden from accepting donations from foreign sources and anonymous donations that exceed €500. The rules for illegal donations generally also apply to members of the German Bundestag and members of state parliaments. However, individual members are allowed to accept benefits of monetary value to, among other things, foster interparliamentary and international relations. The rules do not apply to candidates who are running for office but are not currently holding office. 

So-called party sponsoring, where a business or other entity bears costs related to certain political activities in exchange for some form of publicity, is not regarded as a donation, but as taxable income from events and other income-related activities. It has to be declared in the annual statement of accounts, but it is not subject to the prohibitions on donations. 

Germany has been repeatedly criticized by the Group of States Against Corruption of the Council of Europe for not implementing recommendations to enhance the transparency of party funding.

Needless to say, this led to the investigation of the “unaccountable sources” of these donations.

AfD provides list of names behind 'illegal' campaign finance  scandal

https://www.thelocal.de/20190118/benefactor-names-provided-as-afd-campaign-finance-violation-investigation-continues

AfD leader Alice Weidel's failure to disclose illegal campaign finance donations before the 2017 election from a Swiss pharmaceutical company led to an investigation, which remains ongoing. The party has provided investigators with a list of names which they say were behind the donations, thereby rendering them consistent with German law.

 

The far-right Alternative for Germany party's campaign finance scandal has deepened, with the party providing a list of names which they say were responsible for the series of donations totalling €130,000 made before the 2017 federal election.
 

The list contained 14 purported benefactors, most of which were German. Under German law donations to political parties from non-EU sources are forbidden, while donations from other EU countries are restricted. Switzerland is not a member of the EU.
 

The party said that the 14 benefactors, not the Swiss pharmaceutical company which was originally suspected to have made the transfers, were behind the donations.

The party has been embroiled in several campaign finance scandals in recent months, including another €150,000 donation from an unknown Dutch political organization called the 'European Identity Foundation'.

The donations subject to this investigation were made via several transfers to the AfD's Lake Constance branch.

Party leader Alice Weidel is officially under investigation in relation to the donations.

The transfers were made with the subject line “campaign donation Alice Weidel”. A former investment banker, Weidel divides her time between Lake Constance and Switzerland.

The AfD refused to comment on the ongoing investigation, but said in their 2018 annual report that the donations were made from individuals who were “to the best of [the AfD's] knowledge, German nationals or EU nationals”.

However, as reported by the dpa, the board of directors of the Swiss pharmaceutical company who have been traced back to the donations, already indicated that the money had been transferred by the company “in trust for a business friend”.

If the Bundestag is unsatisfied with the AfD's explanation for the repayment of the funds, the party will owe three times the amount received as a fine.

Weidel said that while the party did not realize until later that the donations had been made contrary to German law, the amounts were promptly repaid. This then led to the mistaken belief that the donations did not need to be reported.

“Yes, we made mistakes,” Weidel said. “We recognized it, responded and paid it back”.
 

 

Note that Breitbart has been trying to establish publishing firms in Germany, not only to favour an alt-right movement but also finance it under the stipulation of the above mentioned laws on foreign involvement. 

 

Now with fake news from these sources causing escalations in the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly exascerbated by anti-Covid restriction protests in major cities across the country, we can expect a wide scale ban on such misinformation and its proprietors. Facebook and a number of other social media services have already begun to implement these bans.

QAnon in Europe: How the COVID pandemic helped promote a dangerous conspiracy theory 

A Satan-worshipping paedophile ring led by prominent Democrats who are allegedly kidnapping, abusing and eating children - as well as and drinking their blood in an attempt to live forever. President Donald Trump is battling this evil group, leading to a day of reckoning involving the mass arrest of politicians and public figures among them George Soros, Bill Gates, Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey.

This outlandish scenario, clearly not factually-based, is the theory behind QAnon, one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories of modern times. It originated online in the United States and quickly crossed into the real world. It has now gone global, spreading in Europe and boosted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

QAnon placards featuring the now-infamous Q symbol first appeared in Europe during demonstrations against Coronavirus restrictions in Berlin, London and Paris.

In Berlin in August, far right extremists waved QAnon banners and flags of the German Reich of 1871-1918 as they attempted to storm Germany’s parliament building.

Earlier this month, I reported from a major demonstration in the German city of Konstanz. where protesters gathered against government measures to contain the pandemic; it attracted groups of all political hues.

While the ban on displaying the more recognised symbols of extremism was observed, Qanon's theories - and symbols - were far from absent.

One protester told me that the German government was trying to divide people by introducing the measures:

"I find there is huge control (by) the state. I stand here for all people, also for QAnon, because QAnon also says we are being divided more and more.

“I pray for every person who manages to get away from the mainstream, I also want more people to wake up!

Researchers studying conspiracy theories say the pandemic has acted as a catalyst in boosting the popularity of QAnon, due to the uncertainty brought by COVID-19 - and by QAnon’s nebulous, insidious nature.

Chine Labbe is EU Managing Editor for NewsGuard - an organisation rating the trustworthiness of information websites and which has published a detailed report on the QAnon phenomenon in Europe.

Labbe says the QAnon theory is flexible enough to be interpreted and tailored by the individual:

“It's sort of a meta-conspiracy and it encompasses a lot of different ideas, theories that are very easily translatable.

"The idea that you have this Deep State being led by world elites and working against the saviours, represented by a few white hats in the world with Donald Trump and others, it's so easy to translate.

"For the French, it will involve Macron being described as a pawn of the Deep State.”

"For the Germans, it will be Merkel who's a puppet of the Deep State.”

”This vagueness, this plasticity, is how QAnon has attracted people across Europe with different ideologies - who can then pick and choose from a wide range of narratives. Some are anti-establishment, others are anti-vaccine. The basis behind the anti-COVID demonstrations and a belief in conspiracies partially overlap.

Other people that I spoke to in Konstanz told me they felt they were being manipulated and deliberately frightened, or that they were being 'muzzled' by COVID measures that they considered to be completely excessive.

Although QAnon has now crossed over into the real world, with people on the ground at demonstrations in Europe, social media first nurtured it. The number of QAnon-related Tweets rose from 5 million in 2017 to 12 million worldwide this year, with Germany ranking 5th and the UK second just behind the US.

Chine Labbe says the increase was dramatic:

“We identified about 450,000 followers across Europe on QAnon-specific accounts, groups, pages on social media and websites.

"In Europe it only started in late 2019, early 2020 and in just a few months, it's managed to amass an impressive amount of followers."

QAnon stands for Q-Anonymous, where Q might be someone in the Trump administration, or a military intelligence figure, or perhaps a high security officer with a Q clearance - the highest level of security clearance as required by the US Department of Energy, to access top-secret information on nuclear weapons.

Disinformation and misinformation are at the core of QAnon's communication techniques. It spreads no verifiable facts, sources or quotes. We found telling examples in Konstanz, although most participants in the protest were not self-declared QAnon supporters.

One man I spoke to said he was a doctor - and his views were "proven medicine". He refused to wear a mask and said that they killed children. Although he admitted this was unproven, he said it was "close to proven."

German police have denied one of the claimed deaths and also said there is no evidence to support the suggestion that any other children have died from wearing masks.

Another man I spoke to, dressed as a caveman, said people should not wear masks "but they have to have a strong immune system" which they could ensure by taking Vitamin D3.

I asked him if he was a doctor:

"No, I'm not a doctor, I'm an auto-mechanic. People who have Vitamin D3 don't die.

"The other people die. 98.9%. It’s a study from the Daily Mail (a British tabloid newspaper)".

The FBI has identified QAnon as a domestic terrorist threat; in the US, the movement has been linked to a killing, a separate armed stand-off and also to several arrests. In Europe, its supporters tend to come from the far right, especially in Germany.

Pia Lamberty, a German social psychologist potentially sheds light on QAnon’s success by suggesting people's self-esteem can be boosted by believing in conspiracy theories:

“You can feel unique by spreading conspiracy. You are the person who sees the truth.

"The others are all naïve, or part of the system or part of the conspiracy itself.

"In Germany, there's one term that's very widespread, it's called ‘sleeping sheep’ and this is how these people call those who are not believing in the conspiracy.

“The belief in conspiracy theories can lead to violence, it can be a radicalisation multiplier.

"We know from Germany that 25% of those who have this abstract conspiracy mentality say that they would use violence to fulfil their goals.”

QAnon has become mainstream in the United States and is openly supported by over 20 Republican candidates running for Congress. President Trump has not distanced himself from the movement, even days before the presidential election.
