Welcome

Ancient
Aliens
The
last few months have been a rollercoaster ride… but what’s
new? Throughout April and May, I appeared quite prominently in
the History Channel’s flagship series “Ancient Aliens:
The Series”. I was happy with the manner in which the series
presented my opinions, which is always a gamble when co-operating
on documentaries. I also liked the manner in which the series
tried to convey the vastness of the subject matter, though I feel
that quite often, the presentation should have stopped with illustrating,
rather than trying to argue every single possible point of potential
alien contact or intervention.
For
a number of years, I have made it known that the ancient aliens
question needs a shift in approach: away from trying to argue
that every possible ancient anomaly might be alien, and towards
selecting one to five really anomalous artefacts or like, and
concentrate all efforts on those, trying to show that these are
evidence of an alien or lost high civilisation. In the aftermath
of the series, my conviction that this is the right way forward,
has only been strengthened.
Travel
writing
Most
of the past three months were taken up with travelling: England
in search of Anne Boleyn clues, for a new project and website
my partner Kathleen McGowan and I are developing; Belgium for
family reasons, as well as Boleyn and other reasons; unexpectedly,
because of volcanic ash, Rome and the Vatican; Turin for the Shroud;
dozens of wonderful places in France, in search of various aspects
of forgotten or lost history. A staple ingredient in any visit
to France is Rennes-le-Château, and a two-part article is
now available on the site; I expect there might be a few more,
later in the year, as some new revelations about this mystery
have come about. However, they might also be collated for a book
on the subject, rather than articles.
The
next few months will be about cementing and expanding some of
the new projects, and using some as launching platforms for new
initiatives. A series of exciting articles for the site is already
lined up, and I am also working on a new contribution for Darklore
(Volume 5), as well as my now regular contributions to magazines
such as Atlantis Rising.
The
Spirit Revolution on iTunes
Kathleen
and I continue to enjoy our weekly radio show. Recent shows are
on her latest novel, The Poet Prince, which tackles the Renaissance,
crystal skulls, and so much more. We are on air every Tuesday,
at 6PM PST on BBS Radio Channel
1, and soon after, upload the show to our archives at The
Spirit Revolution website. The show is now also available
for download via iTunes,
which we hope is an easy way in remaining up to date!
If
you have topics you want to see discussed, or guests you want
to see on air, contact us and we will see what we can do.
If
you have questions, contact me via email
or via my Facebook
