Abduction Round-Table on The Paracast

For those interested in the recent Abduction Hypnotherapy debate, The Paracast is hosting an 'Abduction Round-table' this Sunday, April 4th.

Fom The Paracast website:

Coming April 4: Gene and co-host Christopher O’Brien present an “Ultimate Abduction Round-Table,” featuring Budd Hopkins, Dr. David M. Jacobs and Kevin D. Randle. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Jacobs refused to come on the show if Paul Kimball was involved, which to me says that he won't field any confrontational lines of questioning. Kimball has agreed to step back for the sake of the show. I have a feeling it will be a telling interview, regardless -- if you listen between the lines. Of course, as Jeff Ritzmann pointed out, Randle will be there, so some more direct questioning may still ensue.

The Underside of Abduction Hypnotherapy II

I began writing this article in early March but had trouble with the ending. Prompted by Regan Lee, and because of the interview with Emma Woods that aired on Paratopia yesterday, I decided to buckle down and finish it up.

If you haven't caught my post from a couple of weeks ago, The Underside of Abduction Hypnotherapy, it was a brief update regarding an episode of Partaopia in which they aired a recording of a phone dialog between Emma Woods and David Jacobs. As you might imagine, it has stirred the emotions and opinions of many people on either side of the hypnotherapy argument, causing the Paratopia forum, as well as a few others, to erupt with some pretty strong opinions - the main arguments being whether or not abduction scenarios are created during hypnosis sessions by the hypnotist (in this case, David Jacobs), either intentionally or unintentionally, and whether Jacobs acted poorly in his dealings with Ms. Woods.

Another Brief Update (Still Void of Panties)

I just posted my first Women of Esoterica article entitled Get Ahead, Go Figure, Go Ahead and Pull the Trigger. It's my take on the 2012 thing, brought on by a curious question my girlfriend asked me this evening.

I have an article for IHW in the works that I'm hoping to finish tomorrow. It's about all of the lunar and planet anomalies Hoagland pulls out of his magic ass -- so keep an eye out for that. Or don't.

And I still have to finish 2 other articles I have been promising to finish for over a month now. *le sigh*

Greetings from the Merlot Madam

Somewhere between the treadmill and my first glass of wine, I decided to -- whoops! Silly me, I went and left my wine on the kitchen counter!

Ok, back! I didn't just get off the treadmill, for the record. That happened around 5. Afterwards, I spoke with a friend online regarding some interesting info, which then lead to a 45 minute roast of paranormal television and nutty exopolitical leaders. I think I even mentioned David Sereda's name, which is a rarity. That reminds me -- Joseph Capp of UFO Media Matters just posted a new article called UFOs: Deconstructing Sereda. I think a few of you just might enjoy this, so give it a read if you've got the time (and lets face it, if you're reading the crap I'm writing, you've certainly got the time.

Speaking of crap I write, I finally broke down and purchased a domain for IHW. I wanted to break 6 months to see if it was actually being read or that I actually kept maintaining the site before doing so. And while it will probably affect my page ranking, I figured I might as well do it now rather than when its way too late. So, the new official URL is: http://www.interstellarhousewife.com/

The Dark Flow Mystery

Here's something interesting from space.com -- Some scientists are speculating that the rapid speed of galaxy clusters into the depths of the observable universe maybe be due to the tug of objects beyond the observable view, or possibly an object in another universe 'bubble'.

Distant galaxy clusters appear to be zooming through space at phenomenal speeds that surpass 1 million mph. The clusters were tracked to 2.5 billion light-years away – twice as far as earlier measurements.

Crazy, eh? We're at a very interesting point in our development and understanding of the universe. The last few years have been a whirlwind of new discoveries. I think we're going to be seeing some major text book changes in regards to the physical universe, soon.

And without getting into the controversial topic of String Theory, it's interesting that multi-verse dialog is beginning outside of the fringe:

The researchers think dark flow may be caused by structures that lie beyond the horizon of our own universe. As odd as that may sound, some cosmologists think that our universe is actually only a bubble of space-time that was created during a period of rapid cosmic expansion, called inflation, after the Big Bang. Other bubbles may also have been created where inflation took place at a different rate, and perhaps something in one of the other bubbles is tugging at our universe.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm all caught up with the current UFOlogy crap. Took a couple of hours, but I made it! Now on to the wine!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, my friends!

XOXO

Brief Update

In case anyone was wondering, I'm still alive! I know I promised a new article a week ago, but I am stupid busy with work -- which is taking up my days and nights. *sigh*

I'll get around to something, soon!

Cheers,

Coast to Toast

I've never been much of a fan of Coast to Coast. I know that is considered blasphemy to some, but there it is. I found the show to be sometimes intriguing when I'd catch the odd episode, like the Titor one or the one where the guy calls from a payphone, claiming to have escaped from A51 saying that ETs are actually Inter-Dimensional beings. And lets not forget the guy who flew over A51 while Art repeatedly suggested he should maybe turn the fuck around.

But then came Snoory.

As interesting as any C2C episode might have been, it was mostly entertainment (to me, at least) and not so much a media in which I felt I'd receive quality info from. But I suppose that it was a staple for many before the onslaught of Podcasts, especially more of the high-brow shows like Paratopia, Paracast and Radio Misterioso (the latter of which is in dire need of an update).

Of Bun E. Carlos and Batteries

New article forthcoming - more about the David Jacobs & Emma Woods impact crater. I still have to go through and edit it, so it may be another day or two. Until then, I thought I'd show you something:

Boobs!!!!

No, its not actually boobs (or is it?), but rather, the continuing escapades of Jeff Peckman.

Recently, Jeff hosted an official Welcome to Earth campaign launch, at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, in Colorado (personally, I'd rather it had been a Cheap Trick concert). For those of you who are new, Jeff has developed an Extra-Terrestrial Affairs Commission ballot initiative, in Denver. Basically this would create a non-profit commission to welcome extra-terrestrials looking to stop off for a quick tinkle and some beef jerky.

The Underside of Abduction Hypnotherapy I

More on this later, but for now:

You have to check out this episode of Paratopia. It is sort of a second part to Episode 55 where they begin to expose hypnotherapy when used in possible abduction cases.

The current episode, Episode 57, deals with the recorded phone conversation between David Jacobs and Emma Woods (both were aware the recordings were being made).

Here is the brief summary Jeremy wrote on the Paratopia Podcast page:

Alien hybrids making threats over instant messenger. Hypnosis sessions conducted over the telephone. Boisterous, arrogant men talking down to a victimized female. This story has it all and then some.

Jeff and Jeremy dissect Emma Woods’ phone conversations with Dr. David Jacobs regarding the termination of their relationship. This episode asks the important question: Who presents the bigger threat to us, aliens or the researchers looking into them? Then we examine the wrongheaded and cruel response to Emma by UFO Watchdog. For her, the hits just keep on coming.

Take a drink every time we repeat this is just our opinion or beg Jacobs to come on our show in this, our most controversial episode to date.

This is, as the hosts point out, void of David Jacobs side of the story, and because of that, they cannot confirm 100% accuracy. You'll have to judge for yourself. They have invited him to be on the show to give his version, but so far he hasn't bitten.

Warning, the recordings are pretty emotional and this could upset some people, so be mindful if you're easily triggered.

A Raymond Chandler Evening

I've got 2 long articles I can't seem to finish. One is for WOE and the other for here... I think. I've got a little bit of block and there hasn't been a whole lot of nuttiness going on as of late -- aside from MOD's order to destroy all future UFO reports after 30 days (to avoid having to release them to the public). Frankly, I'm surprised they released anything in the first place. So, with relative quiet on the UFOlogical front, there's not much to pick on.

Although I did hear someone use the phrase "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water" for the 4th time in a week. It's a particular peeve of mine, since its a peculiar saying that tends to stand glaringly out when in use -- and it is in use a lot during paranormal interviews. And besides, I dislike children, so naturally, I would want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. If anything, I'd be more inclined to save the bathwater. It's not unlike "having my cake and eating it to", though I haven't eaten any children (in case that wasn't clear).
