April 27, 1986: Those living on the USA east coast and had HBO back in 1986 might remember this "Signal"...



"Good evening HBO from Captain Midnight. $12.95/month? No way!"

Electrical engineer and business owner John R. MacDougall (using the pseudonym "Captain Midnight") jammed the Home Box Office (HBO) satellite signal on Hughes Communications Galaxy 1 after becoming frustrated about the new prices, satellite operator John MacDougall sends out a little message to HBO, which interrupts its presentation of the film The Falcon and the Snowman. The message, broadcast for four and a half minutes, was seen by the eastern half of the United States (accounting for more than half of HBO's 14.6 million subscribers at the time) protesting HBO's rates for satellite dish owners, which he considered too expensive. MacDougall was working at his second job as an operations engineer at the Central Florida Teleport uplink station in Ocala, Florida, and vied with a technician at HBO's communications center in Hauppauge, New York, for control of the transmission. The technician attempted to increase uplink power but gave up because of the risk of damaging the satellite. MacDougall eventually abandoned his control of the satellite.

That bad Florida man was eventually arrested & fined. Only $5K to become a legend:

"A state holiday" means "Confederate Memorial Day," but a lot of state agencies like the Mississippi Department of Archives are justifiably too scared & embarrassed to mention it by name.

Ancient Artists Left Signs For us to Decode. Did they Witness UFOs?


"All of these astral exponents who invoke human consciousness may be sincere, but many of their theses may be framed to propagate some special phantasm, perhaps of an earlier incarnation, or to indulge an inveterate and continuing technological urge toward materialistic progress, or simply to astonish and disturb the gullible for the devil of it."

- RAF Air Marshal Sir Robert Victor Goddard, public lecture at Caxton Hall in London, May 3, 1969. Quoted from - John Keel, Operation Trojan Horse, 1970.

Continuing from Keel's book:

Sir Victor’s remarks are, admittedly, even harder to believe than the claims of the various UFO cults. If you are not familiar with the massive, welldocumented occult and religious literature, his words may be incomprehensible to you. In essence, he means that the UFO phenomenon is actually a staggering cosmic put-on: a joke perpetrated by invisible entities who have always delighted in frightening, confusing and misleading the human race. The activities of these entities have been carefully recorded throughout history, and we will be leaning heavily on those historical records in this book.

Goddard is perhaps best known for his interest in paranormal phenomena; he claimed to have witnessed a clairvoyant incident in 1946 on which the feature film The Night My Number Came Up (1955) was later based. He encouraged Sir George Trevelyan to set up the Wrekin Trust, a body promoting "spiritual education" in 1971. It occupied much of his time in retirement. Through it he became convinced of the reality of the world of the spirit. He spent many years investigating, and lecturing on, flying saucers. On 3 May 1969, he gave a talk on UFOs at Caxton Hall in London, which has been interpreted as an expression of the interdimensional hypothesis.

They're Looting The Internet (Lengthy article that I'm sure you'll find amusing & relatable)


A Guardian investigation found that private companies have made $100 million clearing homeless encampments in California.


Revealed: how companies made $100m clearing California homeless camps

I think Homelessness in America is tied to the escalation of a security state. People are allowed to exist in various states of deprivation because it creates the perception of a threat that can only be solved by more policing, more surveillance, more privatization of spaces & resources, and of course diversion of funding pools.
