The dangers from the Ebola virus to the public are very real and are
increasing by the day. How many of you out there really know what’s going on
with this virus right now?If you have been
watching the news trickle out of Sierra Leone and Africa about the growing
spread of this insanely deadly disease like I have, you may find it disturbing to say the least.
Ebola has always popped up and
quickly been contained by authorities, but it is not because of their swift and
competent control of the situation, no generally it is because Ebola is such an aggressive
infection that it often kills all available hosts before it has time to spread
outside the area of origination.Africans have been dealing with Ebola since long before the west even
knew it existed. But, international
travel is so simple today that even though Ebola's symptoms set up very fast,
planes can now often get you home faster than the disease can become apparent
and the potential for global pandemic from Ebola has become staggering.As of the
morning of Aug, 1 2014 officials have decided to move two American doctors sick
with Ebola by plane, into the city of Atlanta GA…?!…and the
death toll in Sierra Leone is so high and the spread is so out of control that the country has called for a
state of emergency!
What is most terrifying about this current outbreak in Africa and
Liberia is that it is big, the biggest ever in fact and it is moving. I have seen chilling reports
about a U.S.citizen working in Liberia, falling violently ill on a plane to Nigeria
earlier this month. He was planning on returning to his family in Minnesota but
died before he could. It is thought he may possibly have infected thirty or
more people on that plane. Officials are now desperately trying to “hunt
down” possible victims before infected individuals can become contagious.ThePeace Corps is currently evacuating volunteers from three countries; the CDC is raising its alert to the
highest levels for travel to the area. One of the world’s leading authorities on the Ebola
virus Dr.
Sheik Humarr Khan has in fact contracted the disease and died in Sierra
Leone from complications with Ebola and it appears to be only a matter of time before this disease makes it to
American soil.One American family was
already quarantined in Texas for a short time after returning from living
abroad with Dr.
Kent Brantly who worked in the danger zone and contracted the disease. Dr. Brantly is one of the two American doctors being brought back to the US for treatment along with missionary Nancy Writebol.
Now, here comes the scary conspiracy theory part. There is talk that Ebola could be used by terrorist groups to
cause harm on US soil. Our southern border is just hanging open like an old screen
door, flapping in the breeze and it is not a far stretch to say Ebola or any
dangerous threat would have little trouble getting into the country either
accidentally or with intention if fate were to have it. Keep in mind that it has
been stated by the World Health Organization
that they cannot deal with a global Ebola pandemic and all it takes is one
simply mistake.
World Health Organization
The US government knows it cannot contain Ebola effectively
if it is urbanized and they most likely will declare martial law if an Ebola outbreak hits
a major US city. The laws are already in place, they have been mobilizing and training units
all over the country for just such an event. Then there is always the entertaining and usually debatable argument over the building of emergency (FEMA) camps, (Homeland Security) stock piling ammo, all those scary images of fields
of plastic coffin liners in Georgia that the government supposedly ordered some years back. When one looks at all of this together it forms a picture of the government preparing some
kind of action in order to preserve the national security against its own
citizens. Perhaps even from an Ebola outbreak who can say? Regardless in a viral outbreak quarantined citizens will most likely become violent when individuals start getting sick and they realize the
government is not coming to save them and cannot allow them to leave. All the authorities
can do is quarantine the area until they contain the outbreak and then treat the
symptoms…the death rate of those infected are a staggering 90%.I am not going to go into great detail about
the symptoms of the virus mainly because they are gruesome and promote fear, research it if you feel the need to
know.But keep in mind aid workers have described scenes from villages in Africa "like walking into a set from a horror film, a very
scary situation."
CDC Zombie Advertisement
I also recall a load of silly things bounced about over
the past few years regarding “Zombie Apocalypse Training” coming from legitimate branches of
the government (CDC, Marine
Corp, law enforcement agencies) they all had a purpose, they had a
point.The urban riot training that all
civil forces have been doing around the country are preparing authorities for something… the walking dead?Not likely, but an Ebola outbreak has been
said to be the closest thing to a zombie apocalypse we might ever see.Regardless, all of this training and
preparation appears to have been leading up to authorities preventing citizen’s
movements and access to resources in the case of national emergency; they just
aren’t telling you which emergency.It is not likely that the
government is out to get you…in fact they are trying to keep you from getting
them.I say again when an outbreak occurs over 90% of those infected WILL die, there is no cure or antiviral drug known
to combat this virus.I am not saying
run to the hills or to head for the “bug out” shelters just yet, but if you
start hearing about people getting sick in the US, especially in major cities be concerned this is not a
joke…
Over the years I have researched a lot of interesting stories, but few have left me scratching my head like the Tunguska event of 1908. This phenomenon occurred in a very remote and impoverished area of Siberia near the arctic circle, but it's effects were witnessed by hundreds of people from Russia to London.
Artist impression of explosion
At around 7:14 a.m. on June 30th 1908, eyewitnesses reported seeing a column of bluish light moving from east to north with a brightness "like the sun." Moments later, a massive explosion ripped through the surrounding country side producing a shock wave that actually knocked people off of their feet, and broke windows hundreds of miles away. The explosion registered on seismic detectors all across Eurasia and in some places would have registered 5.0 on the Richter scale. Atmospheric disturbances were so severe that the effects were experienced as far away as Great Britain for several days afterwards! Lights glowed in the night sky so bright they illuminated the streets of London and were reported by many newspapers. Yet no crater or evidence of impact was ever found. Due to it's remote location, and the chaos of several large scale conflicts breaking out in the area around the same time (WWI, Russian Revolution, etc.) it took researchers more than a decade to actually mount an expedition to the location. What explorers found when they arrived was nothing short of stunning.
Tunguska damage 1927
When officials arrived in an area of forest thought to be "ground zero" they found over 250 square kilometers literally flattened, the charred trees lay in odd concentric patterns and were stripped of bark, very closely resembling nuclear fallout in Japan during WWII... except nuclear technology would not be developed for another twenty five years! Bizarre marsh bogs had developed, and researchers found evidence of radiation throughout the area, as well as signs of what would later become known as radiation sickness among individuals that lived near the epicenter.
So, what caused this remarkable event at the top of the world? Many scientists believe that the air burst destruction of a meteor or asteroid was the culprit, some say it may have been a comet, theories of a natural nuclear explosion, antimatter, aliens, and even experiments performed by Nicola Tesla using his Wardenclyffe Tower have been proposed, but there are as many inconsistencies as there are questions surrounding what truly occurred.
The possibility of a celestial body causing the damage is highly likely, but many of the witnesses to the original event spoke of seeing an odd shaped mass moving across the sky, as well as seeing the object
change course, and of the object having a very low speed. This has lead some researchers to support the idea that this could have been a very significant UFO encounter. Many believe either a nuclear powered craft exploded causing the damage or one discharged a weapon for some reason.
Crystals found in Tunguska
Later expeditions uncovered even more unusual material such as strange inscribed crystals and chemical compounds that can only be made in outer space. All of this evidence coupled with the fact no other event in recorded history can be used as reference for Tunguska, leaves it alone in its oddity. It is likely, which is the case with many of these stories, that we will never know what happened that morning in 1908.
For more than one hundred years, science has struggled to
understand the effects of certain psychoactive chemicals on the human brain. The list of chemicals laboratories have
tested includes names like Mescaline, LSD, and other proverbial rock stars of
recreational drug use. But, there is one
chemical in particular that has changed the way science looks at the
psychedelic experience and have discovered it may affect human beings on a
deeper molecular level.
Dr. Rick Strassman
Dimethyltryptamine also known as DMT, or the spirit molecule,
was the focus of a study byRick Strassman MD in the early nineties. According to the study DMT is already
present to some degree in all living
things, and scientists think that humans have actually evolved with receptors in our brain to synthesize this chemical compound. Unlike LSD or other known psychoactive
substances that must be broken down in the body through ingestion or pulmonary
absorption, DMT just docks into its receptor in our brain and goes to work the
moment it is introduced into the body.
Most of the major shamanic
and tribal cultures around the world use some type of perception altering chemical for religious
ceremony. Each tribes brew tends to isolate DMT compounds from
natural sources. The native peoples realized that by using the chemical inhibitor in one plant they could activate DMT in another, allowing it to be finally absorbed into the bloodstream. Generally DMT is only active when it is smoked or injected, but the tribesman discovered they could reach the chemical in other ways. Many tribes in South America use a
super potent DMT based drink or "tea" known as Ayahuasca. It is used to assist the shaman in attaining knowledge from the “spirit world” to help his people,
and to commune with the gods.
Dr. Strassman and his researchers believe that DMT may actually be produced
within the pineal gland deep within the brain, and that it is directly related
to human neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin. Many theorists also feel DMT has contributed in some form to all of mankind's major enlightening events throughout history. Author Cliff Pickover states "DMT in the pineal glands of Biblical prophets gave God
to humanity and let ordinary humans perceive parallel universes." This DMT production could play a pivotal role in molding
human perception and spirituality throughout our lives, but it may also help doctors to explain certain
psychosis or mental illness as well. If
the pineal gland is producing larger amounts of DMT than it should, or is releasing it in
unusual ways, this could explain the hallucinations experienced by psychotics
and severely disturbed sufferers of mental illness.
"Collective Vision" by Alex Grey
So the question then is why?
Why would the human brain be hardwired to produce and use such a
powerful hallucinogen? Science has begun
to make strides forward in terms of better understanding human perception, how
our brain perceives the universe, and what the universe truly is from a perception
point of view. Quantum physics and what
is known as string theory has put a whole new spin on the idea of
what humans beings truly are. We are starting to discover that things like subtle energy and radio and micro wave frequencies effect our conscious and
sub-conscious perception of reality.
In essence, the universe is constantly giving our brains the information and
signals it needs to produce a three dimensional world for us to exist in, with a fourth dimension of "Time" for us to measure it by. But the truth is, science has already proven there
are as many as eleven other dimensions of reality. These are what natives and spiritualists refer
to as “worlds” or “realms” and we are unable to naturally perceive them.
That is where researchers feel DMT and concoctions like Ayahuasca come into play, it
allows the consumer to go to these other dimensions and return with
knowledge or experience that will in some way help or benefit them. Artist Alex Grey utilizes these psychedelic journeys into the mind to create his world renown artwork for bands like TOOL, or for galleries and universities all over the globe. He discusses his opinion on DMT and how he uses it to help his artwork in the following video shown below.
As we have progressed technologically it appears we
may have regressed spiritually, and we are now completely reliant on complex
systems of thought like religions, cults, covens, and other universal dogma to
guide our straining spirituality. It is thought by researchers that because of our
connection to consciousness, human beings would need a release mechanism in our brain such
as DMT, which at the point of our death could be used to allow our "spirit" to move on, or evolve whichever the case may
be. Pretty deep stuff….
Is DMT really a way for human beings to connect to their spirit, a
way to consciously enter the subconscious? It seems to be something we each have to discover for
ourselves, no two people will come to the exact same answer. Although, the evidence is
mounting about DMT, and it is clear that it has very unusual paranormal
connections to human perception and how we relate to our universe.
X Quest Daily does not condone the illegal use of drugs, and does not suggest anyone try to reproduce the effects described in this article.
Deep within the
dark forests and swamps of the Czech Republic stands a mysterious place. Thought by local inhabitants to be the
gateway to hell for hundreds of years, it is known as Castle Houska. The location chosen for this castle is highly
unusual. It is completely
isolated, does not protect any border or resource, and does not
reside on a known trade route or vantage point of any kind. Why would someone use the significant
resources required to construct this castle, but choose to build it in a
completely useless and inconsequential plot of land in the middle of nowhere?
Castle Houska is a gothic structure that was likely
commissioned by Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1253AD. The castle was built without access to water,
a kitchen, or fortification, and was left completely uninhabited for the first
portion of its existence. It appears the
castles primary function, especially the chapel, was to close the unfathomable well
or “hole” on the property that was reported to lead to the underworld. Some of the oldest mural paintings and iron work in Eastern
Europe adorn the walls of Castle Houska, and are simply ripe with images of knights
slaying dragons, demons, and winged monsters galore.
Ancient legends have people reporting
half-man half-beast creatures crawling out of the earth below where the castle's chapel
now sits, and dark winged shapes circling the skies above the courtyard.
Chapel over hell hole
Upon examination of the castle's architecture, it is apparent
that the design is completely backwards.
All of the defensive positions are located on the inside of the
structure, and are designed much like a prison to keep something in
rather than out! It was so unusual that it did not even contain stairs to the first floor in an attempt to prevent unwanted entities from making it to the ground floor, residents at the time would have had to use ladders or ropes. The present day owner describes the building
as being built like “a cube within a cube, within a cube, with all of its defensive positions faced inward.” The torture room in the basement of the castle, also known
as Satan’s office, is even complete with a demonic throne. The castle is said to be home to a faceless
black entity that many have reported is a priest that oversaw the tortures
and executions which occurred here.
Numerous reports of shadows, demonic voices, unusual
feelings of anxiety, and a host of other visual and auditory anomalies have been
reported by visitors and locals for centuries.
To add to the overall macabre nature of Castle Houska, throughout WWII
Nazi Germany commandeered the structure and used it not only as a
headquarters, but also a laboratory, where fringe physics experiments like
dimensional portals, time travel, and various other unusual studies were supposed
to have been performed. When the castle
underwent modern renovation, the bodies of three Nazi soldiers were found in
the courtyard, all of them had been executed.
In 2009, the SyFy channel aired an episode of Ghost Hunters International that featured Castle Houska. The
teams of investigators were thoroughly bombarded by a string of unexplainable
events from start to finish. The investigation left no doubt that Castle Houska displays massive amounts of paranormal activity, and was declared by GHI to be one of the
most haunted locations in the world.
Atomic energy, the most advanced and destructive weapon technology
ever created by modern man, or was it? Researchers from around the globe are
studying evidence unearthed in India that may point towards an ancient atomic
explosion they claim may have occurred thousands of years ago!
Many modern scientists balk at the thought of such a claim, working
harder to disprove the theory than looking at the evidence. But, ancient stories written in the religious
text known as the Mahabharata might have more factual relevance than what was once
thought.
Scene from the Mahabharata
India’s history is one that is mysterious and significant in
terms of the development of mankind on the planet. One of the oldest documented civilizations on
Earth, India boasts as the birthplace of not one, but four of the world’s oldest
and largest religions which include Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The ancient Indian people were also highly
advanced in engineering, art, literature and to this day hold one of the most significant
cultures ever to exist in terms of worldwide contribution.
This idea that our ancient ancestors may have been in
contact with atomic weapons or technology is a far stretch, and is
understandably hard for many researchers to wrap their minds around. But, if science has taught mankind anything,
it is to not underestimate the evidence.
Several hundred years ago scientists were certain that the Earth was the center of the universe, that the Sun
in fact revolved around the Earth and, if you went too far west you might fall
off the planet. Today, scientists are certain ancient civilizations were not in
contact with technologies far beyond their abilities, yet the evidence that
they were in possession of knowledge we are just starting to understand is
everywhere. Let’s listen to the evidence then
and see what it has to say.
Bodies discovered at Harappa
In Rajasthan, India a layer of radioactive ash was unearthed
that covered an area of 3 square miles, and was discovered after a study of
abnormal levels of birth defects and cancer were purported among the
inhabitants of the area was conducted.
The levels of radiation were so high, that the Indian government supposedly
cordoned off the area. The excavation of
the ancient sites Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro nearby also lend evidence to the
idea that something of atomic proportions occurred in this area thousands of years
ago.
Ancient alien theorists would like us to believe that these
sites are a smoking gun, sure evidence of ET interaction with mankind, but that
is not exactly the case. It is reported
that 35 or more highly irradiated human skeletons were discovered on the street
level of Mohenjo-Daro when it was excavated.
While it is true that remains were uncovered in unusual settings and
placements, only one of these bodies was
reported to display high levels of radiation.
Is that a blow to the theory of ancient atomic weapons? No, because the body that was irradiated was highly irradiated, nearly fifty times
the amount it should have been from natural radiation levels. Couple this with other evidence from the site
such as vitrified material known as “Black Stones” that could only have been
produced by the type of heat and pressure created in a nuclear blast, and what we
are left with is an enigma. What is most
intriguing is that all of this irradiated evidence is present on artifacts that
were buried in the desert sands and are thousands of years old. How did it get there?
Let’s look at what the ancient peoples in the area believed. What were their theories/stories about what
happened in the areas around Mohenjo-Daro?
The Mahabharata is a religious text that dates back as far as 400BCE and
is a collection of highly detailed accounts that occurred between men and the Gods
that ruled over the area. The most intriguing
portion of these texts which pertain directly to the ancient atomic theory is
known as the Bhagavad Gita, and includes information on geography, history,
religion, and morality, but more so a detailed description of an 18 day war
that was waged by the gods and supposedly devastated the Indian subcontinent. Below is an excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita
describing a weapon unleashed by the gods.
Trinity Test Atomic Explosion
...
(it was) a single projectile
Charged with all the power of the Universe.
An incandescent column of smoke and flame
As bright as the thousand suns
Rose in all its splendor...
...it
was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
...The
corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
The hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white.
After
a few hours
All foodstuffs were infected...
....to escape from this fire
The soldiers threw themselves in streams
To wash themselves and their equipment.
We can see right away from
reading this passage the gross similarities between what we know to be the
effects and description of an atomic weapon made after the attacks on Japan.
Does that mean the “Gods” or ET’s nuked the Earth in the past? Not at all, but it does warrant looking at
the evidence in a more constructive way considering the ancient radioactive material
that is beginning to be unearthed.
July 16, 1945 the first known
atomic weapon was detonated in the deserts of New Mexico. The man in charge of the development of this
technology was named J. Robert Oppenheimer and was fundamental in the Manhattan
Project that brought the weapon into a useable state. After the tests were completed, and the bomb
had been detonated, he was interviewed about his feelings on this earth changing
technology. In a stunning connection,
Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita.
Even more interesting, seven
years after the trinity tests in New Mexico at Rochester University, a college student asked Dr. Oppenheimer if this (Trinity test) was the first detonation of an atomic
weapon. Oppenheimer replied “In modern times, yes. Ancient
cities, whose brick and stone walls have literally been vitrified, that is,
fused together, can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and
other places. There is no logical explanation for the vitrification of stone
forts and cities, except from an atomic blast.”
If the godfather of modern nuclear physics entertained these possibilities,
is it irresponsible for us not to do the same?
Kelly
Kentucky.... the name does not likely conjure up images of fantastic
paranormal activity unless you are a UFO researcher. But, this sleepy little town was the
proverbial birthplace of modern ufology.
The events that unfolded at a rural farmhouse one evening in 1955 would
eventually set the stage for researchers and become the standard that all other
encounters would be based. While this
story has been told many times, I still find it interesting and pertinent being
a resident of Kentucky myself.
Hopkinsville Kentucky
On the evening
of August 21, 1955 the Sutton family were entertaining friend Billy Ray Taylor at
their small farm near Kelly Kentucky.
The number of individuals at the farm that day included a total of
eleven people, five children and six adults.
The group had enjoyed a normal evening having dinner and playing cards,
but what would happen later that night would change their lives forever.
The Sutton's were
well known in the area for being honest, hardworking, and religious people, not
the type who would make up tales, or who would have been under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. It was even stated by
police and researchers who were on the scene following the events that there
is little doubt about the fear the family displayed, and that something had
scared these people in a serious kind of way.
Around 7:00PM,
house guest Billy Ray Taylor had gone outside to fetch water from a pump in
the yard. He witnessed a strange series
of lights streaking across the sky and landing in the family's field some
distance from the house. Taylor
described the lights as looking like a "large saucer, glowing with all the
colors of the rainbow." He was
startled by the sight and ran quickly back to the farmhouse to tell everyone
what he had seen.
The Sutton family
laughed at Taylor's story thinking he was playing a prank; they reassured him
saying it was likely a shooting star.
All was quiet until around 8:00PM, when the family dogs began to bark
hysterically outside. The individuals in the house soon began to hear strange noises, much like something
walking on the roof and scratching on the windows.
The family patriarch Elmer "Lucky" Sutton and Billy Ray Taylor
grabbed firearms and went outside to investigate the disturbance.
Artists rendition of the showdown.
Several minutes
passed as Sutton and Taylor scoured the property from the front porch. The pair soon saw what was reported as a
"little man" emerge from the trees that surrounded the farm. The two men watched as the creature made its
way closer to them and described its appearance as slightly glowing, and being
silver or metallic in appearance. They
also claimed the creature had large pointy ears, round eyes, long thin arms
with "talon" like hands, and oddly that its legs were very spindly;
almost atrophied. This creature also
appeared to defy gravity; it reportedly hovered slightly above the ground, and
could move rather quickly with a strange swishing motion of its hips.
The creature came
to within 20 feet of the men, at which time a 20 gauge shotgun and a .22 rifle
were both repeatedly fired at the creature with no apparent damage being
inflicted. Both Taylor and Sutton claimed
that when each round was fired, a sound like "shooting into a metal wash
tub” could be heard and the bullets appeared to do no damage whatsoever. The creature then flipped over, and darted
off into the shadow of the woods.
Positive they had wounded the invader, Taylor and Sutton decided to go
find it. Upon stepping off the porch,
the men spotted the creature perched on the roof just above where they had been
standing. The two men again opened fire
and continued to hear the odd metallic sound when the bullets struck the
target; still doing no damage, but they did claim the creature was knocked from
the roof.
Elmer's brother
J.C Sutton had remained inside the house with the terrified women and children
who were hiding with the chaos erupting outside. J.C had also armed himself with a shotgun by
the time Billy Ray and Elmer burst through the front door yelling at everyone
to get down and be quiet. While the two
men recounted the events that had unfolded outside, J.C. spotted the creature
peeping through a window. He fired his
weapon, breaking the glass and sending the creature flipping backwards.
Three witnesses to the event. Elmer "Lucky" Sutton is in the center.
Over the next few
hours, at least two of the entities had been spotted at once and the family
claimed there could have been as many as fifteen. The creatures made several assaults on the
house, popping up at windows and doorways and scurrying across the
rooftop. Many of the children and women that
were hiding had never actually seen the attackers, but of the eleven people in
the house, seven of them had visual contact with the creatures.
The family
matriarch Ms. Lankford then advised everyone to stop the hostilities, claiming
"They haven't hurt anyone, or come in the house." and after several
minutes of debate, the family gathered the courage to flee to their
automobiles and drove madly for thirty minutes to the sheriff’s office in Hopkinsville
Kentucky. The story gets more efficiently
documented beyond this point with numerous reports being filed from different
agencies and newspapers.
At 11pm that
evening an unidentified Kentucky State Trooper on patrol near Kelly had
reported seeing strange lights hovering in the sky, as well as the sound of
what he described as "artillery fire" coming directly from it. Numerous other civilian reports of
unidentified lights and noises were also made to officials that night in the
same area.
PFC Hodson's Sketches
Back at the sheriff’s
office, upon hearing the Sutton family's wild story and evaluating that they
were sober and sane, a group of twenty deputies followed them back to the farm
where an investigation was conducted.
Deputies verified that over one hundred rounds of ammunition had been
fired on the property and they had no doubts that something unusual had
happened to these people. At this
time, the media and military
officials at Fort Campbell were contacted. The deputies
documented a glowing patch along a fence where one of the creatures had been
shot and also noted an odd unidentifiable green light in the woods behind the
house. They were able to photograph the
suspected "bloodstain", but a sample was never able to be
recovered. The stain had mysteriously
disappeared by noon the following day.
Project Blue Book File
Officials
questioned neighboring farm owners and many of the people described seeing strange
lights, hearing noises, and verified the gun battle at the Sutton's farm. The following morning, M.P.s and investigators
including Pfc. Gary F. Hodson arrived from Fort Campbell, the military took statements, and made sketches of the creatures using descriptions from the family. The U.S.
Government's Project Blue Book, which is known to be very critical, and has
debunked many UFO cases throughout the years also took an interest in the story and
opened a case file a short time later. But after
investigating at the Sutton farm, they were also unable to determine what really
happened to the family on that night. To
this day the Kelly Kentucky case is listed as open and unidentified with the United States Air
Force and Project Blue Book, and has never been explained.
To further lend believability to their story, the Sutton's
moved away from the farm the following year, and never attempted to profit or
exploit the popularity that followed the story in any way. Below is a lengthy video that dramatizes the events that took place that night.
