An important note of clarification fro RIC host Henrik Palmgren, re: colloidal gold and silver, which he discussed with Alex Putney in hour two of the program: “We covered the dangers of monoatomic gold… Electrum water, that contains gold and silver particles is totally different (and natural). — MB

I listened intently to the first hour of Red Ice Creation’s interview with Alex Putney last weekend, while I was hiking in the Berkshire Mountains. The Palmgren brothers have put together a regular head trip of a radio program!

If you are a fan of esoteric topics, you must definitely tune-in. Here’s a description of the Putney interview from the Red Ice website (emphases are mine):

Alex Putney (discusses) his work and theories on standing waves, geometrical relationship between ancient monuments, pyramids, sacred sites, magnetic resonance, Earth’s chakras points, changing energies, 2012, acoustic levitation, Tesla, electrum water, black light and the strange objects found at La Maná in Ecuador that are UV fluorescent. Do not miss these two very interesting hours.

Putney in the first hour of the interview mentions the work of Randell Mills, who has developed a process for chemically releasing energy from water. (My brother, Erik Baard, has covered Mills’ research for Space.com, and others.)

In hour two, Putney, who studied at Boston University and Brandeis University, said he hopes to achieve a “higher (or superior) metabolism,” without the need for ordinary food.

And to get there, it appears Putney is using colloidal gold and silver — a controversial approach, to say the least.

Red Ice’s Henrik Palmgren interviews one of the founders of string theory Holger Bech Nielsen

It hardly gets more out there, than this. Kudos to Red Ice, for bringing us the most challenging esoteric chat in weeks:

We ask why the LHC haven’t been working properly? We further discuss Holger’s claim that he made in an interview with the New York Times that the Large Hadron Collider is being “Sabotaged from the Future”. We talk about “god”, time, history and the future.

Hub esoteric expert and podcaster Tim Binnall steps back into 2009 with his  friends and leading UFOlogists Greg Bishop and Nick Redfern, in this two-parter:

Full Preview: We kick things off by getting Nick & Greg's general perspectives on the past year in Ufology and how it seemed like a particularly slow news year, with the exception of mostly unfortunate stories. Nick emparts some wisdom on how to look at these “down years” with proper perspective and Greg reflects on how, in the Internet age, perspectives on time are being altered as well as how the down cycle this year even affected his take on the UFO scene.

Note: For Greg Bishop’s take on the Google UFO logo hubbub (he calls it, “UFO porno”), hit the 79:30 mark in Part One of the 12.31.09 podcast.

The Heretic's "10 New England Esotericists to Watch in 2010"

Posted on by

New England is home to some of the biggest brains in the businesses of esoterica and mad science.

But you knew that already.

Here then, is my list of the busiest folks we know in the worlds of offbeat science publishing, UFOlogy, cryptozoology and the occult — even comics. Ghost-hunting? That is sooo last decade. But keep these peeps on your radar in 2010. They make for an eclectic mix, alright, but I think the list somehow works:

Marc Abrahams announcing "The Penguin Prize" at the annual Ig Nobel Prizes ceremony, at Harvard U. (Photo: Courtesy of the Ig Nobel Prizes.)

1. Marc Abrahams. Few can match the wit, charm and energy of this singular Cambridge, Mass. personality. Abrahams is the publisher of the uproarious Annals of Improbable Research, and organizer of the annual Ig Nobel Prizes awards ceremony, which honors  “research that makes people laugh and then think.” He also writes a weekly column about wacky science (think bras that double as gas masks, and astrology charts for bacteria), for the UK Guardian.

2. Tim Binnall. Did you know that one of the planet’s fastest-growing podcasters to the “Coast-to-Coast AM” crowd is based right here, in the Hub? The young genius behind the whole thing, Tim Binnall, is relaunching his website, Binnall of America, with another season of podcast interviews with big-name UFOlogists and conspiracy researchers, from Texas to Sweden.

Binnall also organizes a successful paranormal confab in the Hub.

3. Loren Coleman. This legend in the world of cryptozoology (2010 marks his 50th year in the business) will be surprising us again with new insights, and new guests and events at his Portland, Maine-based International Museum of Cryptozoology.

A regular contributor to Coast to Coast AM, Boing Boing, and The Anomalist, Coleman is also the keeper of the world’s most popular cryptozoology blog, Cryptomundo.

Coleman this year will be speaking at Bigfoot and “big cats” conferences — both at home and across the pond, in Glasgow, Scotland. This spring, he will also be lending his expertise to the ongoing search for the Loch Ness Monster.

In addition to his ongoing consulting work for History’s “MonsterQuest,” and Animal Planet’s “Lost Tapes,” Coleman will also be working on (we kid you not) five new books.

4. Stanton Friedman. I met Stanton Friedman at a UFO conference in Washington, D.C. a few years ago, and I’ve been trying to keep up his research ever since. But I only learned (after listening to Mr. Binnall’s interviews with this UFO luminary) that Friedman resides in the Northeast. Friedman jokes in his BoA interviews that he is one of the few surviving members of UFOlogy’s “old guard.” But I expect he’ll have a lot more to say at his conferences appearances this year.

5. Greg Kaminsky. If you like your occult podcasts served-up hot, and packaged with vintage Black Sabbath tracks, Beverly, Mass.-based Greg Kaminsky is your guy. Kaminsky is the host of the fantastic website and podcast, “Occult of Personality,” which — like BOA — is poised for big changes (including a subscriber section, with extended interviews) and breakout success in 2010. Kaminsky has landed interviews with leading occult scholars on both sides of the Atlantic since making his quiet start, just a couple of years ago. To taste some of that OoP magic I am talking about, check out this fascinating interview with Penguin’s occult books editor, Mitch Horowitz.

6. John Rozum. Scooby-Doo. The X-Files comics. The supernaturally-talented writer may be in the business of inventing things that go bump in the night, be he is also said to be living quietly on Cape Cod. One of Rozum’s latest creations, The Hangman, is fighting human trafficking in DC Comics’ just-released The Web #4.

7. Joe Moore. Commended to this list by OoP’s Kaminsky, Moore is a New Hampshire-based podcaster, a breathwork facilitator, and onetime Evolver spore group leader. (Click the links if you are as mystified by these terms as I was.) Not sure if magic is for you? Try the “Mr. Spock” ritual that Moore discusses in his latest podcast with chaos magic expert Andrieh Vitimus. (Skip to the 17-minute mark, if you can’t wait.) Next: Moore and Kaminsky in 2010 are collaborating on a documentary film.

8. Joseph Citro is sick of ghosts. Yeah, that’s right. Ghost-busting, the bane of Binnall and other esotericists — driven half-mad by hacks seeking quick paranormal fame — is tired. Citro made his break from the past last fall, with one of his latest titles, The Vermont Monster Guide, a roundup of the land, air and sea creatures haunting the North.

9. The guys behind NE FOR (the New England UFO Research Organization). When Tim Binnall hints at the political infighting within the New England UFO community, he might be referring in part to the guys who last year formed this New England MUFON splinter group. But more UFO researchers might mean more eyes on the sky, and more thorough documentation of sightings

10. Mr. Crowley. Just be sure you pronounce the first syllable of his name correctly, like the bird, while in Salem, Mass. (Not the way Ozzy Osbourne does in his classic song about the Beast.)

And yeah, I know the guy’s dead. But when the Heretic placed its call for nominees last weekend, a bunch of folks, from Salem and beyond, tapped their peers in magical orders that derive their inspiration from Crowley. Crowley-inspired authors and booksellers, too, all got a good talking-up.

So, stay tuned on this one, because I’m going to need a week-or-two to share with the rest of you, what our magician friends have been sharing with me.

OOP takes on the "secret cipher of the ufonauts"

Listen, and experience the synchronicities

Make new friends, but keep the old. The Rt. Rev. T Allen Greenfield with his Fiji mermaid. 

Greg’s podccats at Occult of Personality are a must-listen if you want to rekindle your studies of Aleister Crowley, Madame Blavatsky and other occult figures of the early 20th century.

In his latest piece, Greg talks with ufologist and occultist T Allen Greenfield, who claims to have discovered a secret code that ties together ufology and occultism (see book cover, left).

The code “is definitely a cypher that is decipherable and comprehendible,” Greenfield tells Greg in the interview.

On another note: I’ve been experiencing the most interesting startling synchronicities in my life after listening to Greg’s chats with Todd Campbell at Through the Looking Glass, and Synchronos23.

I will eat my hat if–after listening to the podcasts–you don’t start experiencing some synchronicities, too. (I don’t know why, it just happens.)

Minicast: Alan Watt on "the New Normal"

It’s normal, now

Propagandists working for the major foundations and think tanks are crafting “the New Normal” for climate changes, brain chipping and other technologies, says Alan Watt, in a recent audio blurb at Cutting Through the Matrix (see links, below).

The audio: [audio http://clickcaster.com/resource/audio/minicast--alan-watt-on--the-new-normal.mp3]

Every book, blog and seminar that includes “the New Normal” in its title is about getting rich within “the new paradigm.” So, it is refreshing to hear someone questioning the validity of “the New Normal” itself.

Also, as a science and technology reporter, I was struck by Watt’s observation that authors are typically told what to write about by their bosses (rather than authors bringing the truth up to their editors, for example). From my own personal experience, that is how it often works in the mainstream media.Song credit: “Over the Wall,” from the soundtrack to “Escape from New York,” by John Carpenter.

Mini-Podcast: The Protocols (some answers)

Haven’t gotten Henrik Palmgren’s and Alan Watt’s takes yet on the persistence of the Protocols. But I did hear from Greg at Occult of Personality, and Terry at Conspiracy Archive.

The audio:

[audio http://www.clickcaster.com/resource/audio/updated-parallelnormal-minicast-for-4-13-07.mp3]

Plus: Greg at Occult of Personality has posted an interview with Taoist author Angela V. Michaels. The two discuss the “2012 hype” (see excerpt and link, below).

What advice would you give if asked for guidance in avoiding the pitfalls of charlatans trying to cash in on the 2012 hype?We must learn to cultivate discernment. First we need to become educated and aware of the possibilities. Earth changes, new technologies, alternative history, the powers-that-be and their secrets, even worldly spiritual paths – knowledge is power. Do a lot of research, try to understand many different points of view so that there is no shock or surprise either way.
