An Innocent Question: Where on Earth is Darius Lockwood?

People who know me say I’m prone to paranoia. Fair enough, but in the words of the popular song, just because you’re paranoid don’t mean they’re not after you. As it happens I don’t think anyone’s after ME exactly, but I am starting to get a little concerned about our friend Mr Lockwood.

Let’s examine the evidence:

1) His site hasn’t been updated since November last year.

2) He doesn’t seem remotely concerned that a memory stick is missing which contains not only a great deal of his research and articles he was working on, but also large amounts of his personal diary. You’d think he might be keen to get this stuff back. Keen enough maybe, to answer emails telling him that it has been found. Keen enough to respond to Facebook messages. Lisa emailed him at the beginning of the year. I’ve been trying to since I found out. And nothing. Not a dicky bird.

3) Most perplexing of all, click on any of the links to his published articles on his website and you find they’re all dead. This happens or this. I’ve written to editors of each of these publications but have heard nothing back so far.

Suffice to say, I’m starting to get all kinds of thoughts going through my head. In fact, I’m not sure I should be posting this at all. I’m going to shut up now, and forget all about it. Yeah, I’m sure everything’s fine. Lah de dah just going about my day.

The Mysterious Case of the Man Who Lost His Memory Stick

Lots of very weird stuff happening at the moment. I received an email today from a woman called Lisa who found a memory stick on a New York subway almost two months ago. The memory stick appears to have been the property of one Darius Lockwood, investigative journalist and expert chronicler of all things underground.

On her blog trying to find track down the owner of the memory stick, Lisa has uploaded a few of the images. Suffice to say there is some pretty startling stuff on there. It seems Mr Lockwood (or whoever the stick belongs to) was exploring much of the same kind of thing that’s been fascinating me for so long. Check out the Conspiracy Mindmap here. It’s all there: Albert Pike, Augustin Barruel, Pierre-André Taguieff, Robert Amberlain, and the Weavers are all over the place.

Also, looks like he was researching Gnosticism for an article and was naturally drawn towards The Knights Templar, the Cathars and, of course, The Weavers. This is from a diary entry found on the stick here:

(not that I condone publishing private info on the web, but she's saying the owner might google phrases from it to find the drive.)

‘Different historical periods who also required a different implementation of Gnosticism. During the Manichean and Cathar Gnostic movements, it was all about purity of conduct and integrity. In 2nd and 3rd century Alexandria, it was all about individualism. And today? In the age of saturation and ennui, maybe it’s all about tearing down the palace walls and setting fires to wake people up?’

WTF?

Police Camera UFO Action!

[via Phantoms And Monsters] "This video was shot in October 2007 and just recently released by Mexican officials. During a traffic stop in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, a patrolman sitting in the car turned the police video camera to the left to capture the image of a UFO hovering near the highway."

2012 2012 2012

The Daily Grail has a great summary of the relevance of 2012 and why you should care. Link.

• December 21 - End of the great cycle of the Maya calendar's Long Count and a 26,000 year planetary cycle in the Aztec calendar, and thus the alleged end of our world (the end of the cycle is dated December 22 or December 23 by some calculations).
• According to the 1997 book The Bible Code the world will end due to a collision with a meteor, asteroid or comet.
• Interpreted by Millennialism as a time when there will be an evolutionary change in human consciousness brought about by a series of world changing events or revelations. Following this period of upheaval they believe we will begin a new 1,000 year cycle in which peace, enlightenment and our environmental movement take priority.
• The Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide, according to "The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge" by Richard C. Duncan.
• Terence McKenna's Novelty Theory claims that time is a fractal wave of increasing novelty that ends abruptly in 2012.
• Tibetan Monks specialising in remote viewing predict that divine extra-terrestrials will intervene at a point where the world's governments are about to deploy weapons of mass destruction. Adding to this, the Tibetan Monks say that the world is not ready to be destroyed and that our Earth is blessed and being saved continuously from all kinds of hazards that Mankind is not even aware of.

Pope Orders Exorcism Squads To Comabt Occult Forces

The Pope has ordered his bishops to set up exorcism squads to tackle the rise of Satanism. Vatican chiefs are concerned at what they see as an increased interest in the occult. They have introduced courses for priests to combat what they call the most extreme form of "Godlessness". Each bishop is to be told to have in his diocese a number of priests trained to fight demonic possession.

The Hidden Hand

I don’t agree with everything this guy is saying but this rings true: Link.

Some would argue that The United States Congress, the elected officials of the people who were involved in passing the United States Patriot Act just forty three (43) days after September 11, 2001 (had either been duped or were willing and active participants in the plot) and establishing the office of Homeland Security giving the Executive Branch of Government Dictator type powers. For example, unchecked and undemocratic Executive Orders were imposed, law enforcement powers went unmitigated, and Congress ability to legislate was compromised and was the Patriot Act essentially an outright violation of U.S. law and of our U.S. Constitutional Rights? And did this legislation actually meet its attempt by intentionally and willfully usurping the balance of powers we have in our three branches of government?

But the HIDDEN HAND strategically would use the 9-11 incident to weaken the Bill Of Rights and to totally disarm the United States Citizens and proliferate the powers of the Executive Branch of Government (George Bush) and the sad thing about this criminal act, it was met with no resistance from the masses of the people they volunteered as willing participants.

Artificial Life Forms With Synthetic DNA On The Horizon

Researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA. I, for one, won't be eating them. Link.

Scientists in Maryland have already built the world's first entirely handcrafted chromosome -- a large looping strand of DNA made from scratch in a laboratory, containing all the instructions a microbe needs to live and reproduce.

In the coming year, they hope to transplant it into a cell, where it is expected to "boot itself up," like software downloaded from the Internet, and cajole the waiting cell to do its bidding. And while the first synthetic chromosome is a plagiarized version of a natural one, others that code for life forms that have never existed before are already under construction.

New Document Reveals Military Mystery's Powers

A drive by Clifford Stone on the X-Files-esque uber-site Above Top Secret to use the Freedom of Information Act to turn up UFO-related documents has led to the release of a fascinating report, HAARP: Research and Applications. It's from the Air Force Research Laboratory and Office of Naval Research, and it lays out the uses the military see for HAARP. Turns out the Pentagon wants some military bang for their buck from the program. HAARP can actually perform a lot of militarily important functions, all involving the interactions of radio waves with the high atmosphere, magnetosphere and ionosphere. Link.

Storm Worm Botnet Attacks Anti-Spam Firms

"It's been a pretty constant battle to stay online," Vincent Hanna, an investigator for the non-profit Spamhaus Project, told InformationWeek. "It's an arms race. They try something. We block it. They try something else. We block it. It goes on and on. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes we spend hours a day on this." Link.

Total Information Awareness

I just came across this page on Wikipedia about the US government's development of a mass digital surveillance system. Grok it. Scary. Note how it used to be called the "Total Information Awareness Program". But then was renamed the Terrorism Information Awareness Program. Note how the second sounds way more acceptable to an afraid public. Just another cog in the wheel of oppression. Link.

Big Brother Is Watching Us All

Be afraid. Be very afraid. The US and UK governments are developing increasingly sophisticated gadgets to keep individuals under their surveillance. Link.

Are We Seeing The End Of America?

Hard-hitting conversation between Noami Wolf and journalist Don Hazen. Link.

You can't underplay how sophisticated the Bush team has been about manipulating our fears. And one reason we really can't ignore is our home-grown ignorance. We now have two generations of young people who don't know about civics. A study came out that showed that even Harvard freshmen really don't understand how our government works.

Storm Worm Botnet now "more powerful than world's top supercomputer"

The Storm Worm Botnet, a massive network of infected Windows PCs spanning the world, has now enslaved enough computers to rival the processing power of top military computers. This is incredible.

"If you calculate pure theoretical throughput, then I'm sure the botnet has more capacity than IBM's BlueGene. If you sat them down to play chess, the botnet would win."

"Storm Worm" adds millions of computers to botnet

Storm Worm Rising

The Storm Worm is a huge botnet that may have commandeered up to 2 million PCs around the world. You visit a site, download a piece of malware, and unbeknownst to you, your computer becomes just another 'zombie' node in the botnet army. Then the creators use yours and the other computers on the network to launch spam or denial-of-service (DDos) attacks.

As sci-fi writer Sterling himself says,

The Storm worm is an amazing piece of work. Anyone who has taken the time to reverse engineer Storm will tell you that it is a very sophisticated piece of software and it is highly unlikely that it was created just to send spam.

Corroboration of abductee's 'Star Map'

Barney and Betty Hill were out driving one night in 1961 when they were abducted by aliens. During the abduction, Betty was shown a 'starmap' which indicated the home world of extraterrestrials as well as various 'trade routes'. Now, after painstaking work by researchers, some details of that map have been confirmed... Link.

Get The Zeigeist

Zeitgeist is a freely distributed movie, designed to prompt the audience into questioning their own beliefs on the subjects of US involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Christian theology, the Federal Reserve System, and the decreasing status of personal freedoms in the United States of America due to introductions of laws and organizations such as The Department of Homeland Security and the Patriot Act. It is divided into three parts - Part I: "The Greatest Story Ever Told", Part II: "All The World's A Stage", and Part III: "Don't Mind The Men Behind The Curtain". Link.
