David Icke is a tough cookie to summarise, I like some of his theories, but struggle with others.
Personally I feel the (Swine) Flu Vaccine is a bit suspect, and think we have a right to ask questions and ultimately make up our own minds as to whether we should or shouldn’t take such a vaccine.
A quick internet search will bring up thousands and thousands of conspiracy theories about swine flu – be very careful what you believe, but make sure you do read some of it!
Residents near a San Diego beach awoke on Saturday (11th July 2009) to find dozens of jumbo squid (Humboldt squid) flapping helplessly on the shore — about an hour after an earthquake had struck off the California city at 7:34 a.m.
The mysterious jumbo squid stranding and the earthquake, are probably linked only by coincidence say experts.
For one thing, scientists began finding beached squid at least three days before the Saturday earthquake, said squid expert William Gilly of Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station.
“So unless the squid were predicting the earthquake, I don’t think there’s any link,” he added.
Crop Circle at Silbury Hill, copyright: Steve Alexander
A Police Sergeant has come forward claiming to have seen three exceptionally tall beings inspecting a crop circle near Silbury Hill, Wiltshire.
The incident happened around 5am on the 7th July 2009 as the Sergeant was driving his private car towards Marlborough, along the A4 past the ancient monument.
The Sergeant stopped and watched them for a few minutes, while they appeared to be examining the crop. He then shouted at them from a distance, but they appeared to ignore him.
He then entered the field and they suddenly became aware of him and started to run at an amazing speed to the south, away from the formation and Silbury Hill.
He said that he then glanced away for just a few seconds, and when he looked back, they had completely vanished! He also said he was aware of a static crackling sound in and around him in the field, which seemed to change level and possibly effect the movement of the plants.
He also claimed to experience a headache in the field, which became worse as the day progressed.
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) announced today the discovery of a new monkey in a remote region of the Amazon in Brazil.
The monkey is related to saddleback tamarins, which include several species of monkeys known for their distinctively marked backs. The newly described distinct subspecies was first seen by scientists on a 2007 expedition into the state of Amazonas in northwestern Brazil.
Researchers have dubbed the monkey Mura’s saddleback tamarin (saguinus fuscicollis mura) named after the Mura Indians, the ethnic group of Amerindians of the Purus and Madeira river basins where the monkey occurs. Historically this tribe was spread through the largest territory of any of the Amazonian Indigenous peoples, extending from the Peruvian frontier today (Rio Yavari) east to the Rio Trombetas.
The monkey is mostly gray and dark brown in color, with a distinctly mottled “saddle.” It weighs 213 grams and is 240 millimeters (9 inches tall) with a 320 millimeter (12.6 inch) tail.
“The Wildlife Conservation Society is extremely proud to be part of this exciting discovery in the Amazon,” said Dr. Avecita Chicchon, Director of WCS’s Latin America Programs. “We hope that the discovery will draw attention to conservation in this very fragile but biodiverse region.”
According to the study’s authors, the monkey is threatened by several planned development projects in the region, particularly a major highway cutting through the Amazon that is currently being paved. Conservationists fear the highway could fuel wider deforestation in the Amazon over the next two decades. Other threats to the region include a proposed gas pipeline and two hydroelectric dams currently in the beginning stages of construction.
“This newly described monkey shows that even today there are still major wildlife discoveries to be made,” said the study’s lead author, Fabio Röhe of the Wildlife Conservation Society. “This discovery should serve as a wake-up call that there is still so much to learn from the world’s wild places, yet humans continue to threaten these areas with destruction.”
The site of Tuna el-Gebel in Middle Egypt was known to the Greeks as Hermopolis. In the southern part of the site there is an animal necropolis. Mummified ibises and baboons, associated with the god Thoth, were buried here in their thousands in subterranean galleries, similar to the burials of the Apis bulls at Saqqara.
The Saqqara plateau served as a burial site to the ancient Egyptians for over three thousand years. It is home to pyramids, private tombs and temples, and is even the burial place of sacred animals. The most famous of the animals buried at Saqqara were the Apis bulls. For over a thousand years these bulls were laid to rest in the darkness of the Serapeum, a massive gallery of tunnels and niches carved into the rock below Saqqara.
John Alva Keel (born Alva John Kiehle) the Fortean author and professional journalist has died aged 79.
John Keel was arguably one of the most widely read and influential ufologists since the early 1970s. Although his own thoughts about UFOs and associated anomalous phenomena have gradually evolved since the mid 1960s, Keel remains one of ufology’s most original and controversial researchers. It was Keel’s second book, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse (1970), that alerted the general public that many aspects of contemporary UFO reports, including humanoid encounters, often paralleled certain ancient folklore and religious encounters. Keel also argues that there is a direct relationship between UFOs and psychic phenomena. He says he does not call himself a ufologist and prefers the term Fortean which encompasses a wide range of paranormal subjects.

This short horizontal passage in the Pyramid of Teti (Sixth Dynasty) at Saqqara leads to the king’s burial chamber.
Pyramid of Teti
The Pyramid Texts can be seen on the walls on either side of the passage, while stars can be seen on the ceiling. The king’s sarcophagus can be seen at the end of the room.
Pyramid of Teti
The Pyramid complex of Teti is located in the pyramid field at Saqqara, in Egypt. It was originally called Teti’s places are enduring.
The preservation above ground is very poor, and it now resembles a small hill. Below ground the chambers and corridors are very well preserved.
The Maine Warden Service is looking into two sightings of a giant snake in the Rumford canal.
Police told the Sun Journal of Lewiston that two people contacted them Wednesday (1st July 2009) saying they had seen a monster snake, perhaps up to 17 feet long, enter the canal behind a local store.
Snake expert Robbie White told the paper that based on the description, the snake could be a red-tail boa constrictor or even a Burmese python. He said snakes in Maine don’t grow to that size, unless it was a pet that escaped!
A single mega-colony of ants has colonised much of the world, scientists have discovered.
Argentine Ant (Linepithema humile)
Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another.
The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination.
What’s more, people are unwittingly helping the mega-colony stick together.
Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica.
These introduced Argentine ants are renowned for forming large colonies, and for becoming a significant pest, attacking native animals and crops.
In Europe, one vast colony of Argentine ants is thought to stretch for 6,000km (3,700 miles) along the Mediterranean coast, while another in the US, known as the “Californian large”, extends over 900km (560 miles) along the coast of California. A third huge colony exists on the west coast of Japan.
While ants are usually highly territorial, those living within each super-colony are tolerant of one another, even if they live tens or hundreds of kilometres apart. Each super-colony, however, was thought to be quite distinct.
But it now appears that billions of Argentine ants around the world all actually belong to one single global mega-colony.
