Die Glocke

“The Bell”: Apocryphal lost Nazi technology.
The known history of Die Glocke begins in the year 2000 when it was described by a Polish writer in a book about WWII Nazi technology. Since then, it’s been popping up, attached to theories about Philadelphia Experiment-level stuff – Anti-gravity, time travel, Nazi occultism…you know, the usual.

So what was it really, and did it exist? Who knows. There quite possibly was some experimental craft called Die Glocke being worked on. Was it a time machine? Probably not.

But then, some of the actually verifiable crazy ideas both the Allies and Nazi’s came up with are well worth reading about in their own right, no need to embellish the truth.
You want Wunderwaffen? Try the Sun Gun,
You want occultism, Britain held an actual witch trial during the war.
Aircraft Carriers made from manufactured icebergs? Habbakuk.

TLDR; I dunno, ask Miguel Serrano.

Road to Roota

“The Federal Reserve Bank’s secret plot to destroy fiat money and return the United States to a Gold Standard.”

The Road to Roota is a US financial conspiracy theory originated and publicised by Bix Weir. I’ve not yet had chance to dig through his voluminous writings on his website but it seems like a great rabbit hole.

To quickly summarise (I think I’ve got this right):-

  • There is a conspiracy to bring down banking institutions and switch the US back to a commodities-based economy.
  • Markets are controlled by a computer system instigated by Alan Greenspan in the 1960s.
  • This conspiracy was hidden in plain sight by the Federal Reserve when they decided to publish it in a comic. No, really.
  • In 1981 The Federal Reserve released a bizzaro children’s comic, “Wishes and Rainbows” and accompanying teachers guide, “The Road to Roota”. It’s really weird. It’s supposed to help teach kids about economics, scarcity and supply and demand.

 

 

The Beacon of Hate

Shortwave radio hams in the USA discovered a beacon transmitting morse coded messages of bizzare angry word salad into the void. The apparently constant transmissions were noted as early as 1999 – I have no idea if they’re still being transmitted.

The Beacon of Hate, as it came to be known was a minor point of interest to the amateur radio enthusiasts who discovered it, and in turn those of us who learned about it via the internet. It is unknown who was behind the messages, who they were intended for, or where exactly they were being transmitted from.

The cryptic and miss-spelled messages were fixated on camels, porn, religion and tracks – whatever that means. Honestly, they’re quite hard to parse.

I’d love to know if there was ever any more information dug up on this mystery.

Denver Airport

From the giant blue demon horse sculpture that killed it’s creator to the infamous dead child murals, Denver airport’s decor is absolutely insane. But beyond what the average traveller is exposed to there are the conspiracy theories about the huge complex of subterranean New World Order/Illuminati bunkers hidden beneath the site.

Plenty of people have covered this fascinating place better than I could so here are some links worth checking out:-
