WHAT’S UP DOWN THERE IN ANTARCTICA?
It's
beginning to be the case that I almost need a special "Antarctica" tab
for this website, because it seems the strangeness of stories coming out
of there just keeps coming. This week, so many people saw one version
or another of this story that I know they were thinking what I am thinking: could this be the reason for the strangeness of the stories about the place lately?
Possibly.
But before we get to all that, a brief memory refresher. Regular
readers of my books and of this website know just how peculiar Antarctica really is, not so much because it's covered in ice, and is inaccessible, but rather because a very strange
list of people are associated with it, and with those people, there are
also strange stories. By now, we can probably recite the list of
strange people associated with Antartica by heart:
(1)
Rudolf Hess, (2) Hermann Goering, (3) Admiral Byrd, (4) King Juan
Carlos, (5) Prince Harry (or was it William... they all look the same),
(6) Secretary of State John Kerry, (7) the Patriarch of Moscow, Kiril
III, (8) Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, and, lest we forget, the
elements of the Russian Baltic Sea Fleet are scheduled for a visit.
The
stories have been almost as strange as the list. Admiral Byrd and
Operation High Jump, as readers here know, returned from an expedition
to the continent that was supposed to have lasted months, after only a
few weeks. Along the way back home, Byrd reportedly gave an interview to
a reporter for El Mercurio of Santiago de Chile, in which he
warned that the United States would have to prepare to defend itself
against "enemy fighters" (leaving the enemy unspecified) that could fly
from pole to pole with tremendous speed. And of course, there are the
stories of secret Nazi flying saucer bases under the ice (a story I've never
bought, incidentally), a couple of Adolf Hitler survived in Antarctica
stories. President Clinton contributed his own bizarre story by holding a
press conference during his administration about a meteor from Mars
that was allegedly found in Antarctica, which meteor also evidently
contained microbial sized fossilized life.
As if it couldn't possibly
get any stranger, there were also those stories several years ago that
the Russians had "found something" near their installations at the vast
under-ice lake Vostok; there were emergency evacuations at that time of
people becoming suddenly sick (which of course fueled the rumor mill);
perhaps the weirdest of all the stories was that the Saudis found
something during an excavation around the Grand Mosque at Mecca,
something which so terrified them that they turned it over to the
Russians, who promptly (so the story goes) took it to Antarctica where
Patriarch Kiril "performed ancient rituals" over it. Well, needless to
say, I don't buy that story either (the part about the Saudis finding
"something" and then turning it over to the Orthodox Christian
"infidels" just isn't washing with me), but I mention it for the sake of
completeness.
Then
Buzz Aldrin decided, within mere days of Secretary John Kerry's visit,
to visit the southern continent, and before boarding the flight in South
Africa that would take him there, he tweeted he was getting ready to
"go to the launchpad," a statement that I pointed out at the time could
be taken as "astronautese" for boarding the airplane, or that it might mean that Antarctica was
the "launchpad." Then, while in Antarctica, Aldrin gets sick, and has
to be evacuated. A variant on the story also had him tweeting that what
had been discovered was some "absolute evil."
Oh,
and let's not forget, Lockheed Martin of Black Projects Fame also has a
presence in Antarctica. Buzz Aldrin, John Kerry, Kiril III, Herman
Goering, Rudolf Hess, and Lockheed Martin.
That's quite a line-up. The stuff of a bad Hollyweird B movie.
Well, now we might finally have a glimpse of what all the ruckus has been about:
Of
course, there is the usual blather that all this represents nothing
strange or bizarre at all: all those polygons and so on are merely what
happens when minerals and ice freeze. No argument from me. But of
course, this doesn't really explain why Mssrs Kerry Kiril and Aldrin
would be so keen to visit beautiful scenic Antarctica. I suspect,
however, in the case of the second image, that the
freezing-polygon explanation falls "a little short," for I don't know
about you, but something sure looks artificial to me. And - what the
heck - I'm willing to crawl out to the extreme end of the twig of
speculation on this one, and say that my first thought, when I saw this
picture, was that it looked like an electrical coil or installation of
some sort. We're given no idea of the scale of what we're looking at, but it looks like "input, coil, output" to me.
In short, it looks like a "something", and that certainly would
account for Kerry, Aldrin, Kiril, and Lockheed-Martin and the Russian
Baltic Sea fleet. The real question is, did Hess and Goering have
similar information, and if so, how did they come by it? https://gizadeathstar.com/2017/05/whats-up-down-there-in-antarctica/
