Going underground (Pt. 2)

 

OKLAHOMA CITY – Back in late 1998, I was sleeping in my lonely apartment in Waxahachie, Texas, when I was startled awake by a loud explosion outside.

I peeked outside. Seeing nothing, I went back to my bed and laid down for a bit until it was time to get up and get ready for work at my low-paying job as a newspaper reporter for The Waxahachie Daily Light.

Going to my desk later that morning I mentioned the explosion to my editor. He didn’t know anything about it. So, I called up the local police department and I was told that action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme was in town and they were filming scenes for his next film: Universal Soldier: The Soldier, the third in the series.

It was being filmed in the Super Conducting Supercollider site that had been abandoned a few years earlier. The project was moved to the French/Swiss border where CERN and the Large Hadron Collider are now located, looking for the “God particle” and bosons and so forth.

Specifically, the Universal Soldier film crew was doing pyrotechnics for scenes in the film, that would be released the following year.

At the time, I didn’t know a whole lot about the Supercollider, beyond what an older couple working at the Daily Light had told me. They had moved to Waxahachie in the early 1990’s to work at the SSC site, only to have the proverbial rug pulled out from under them when the project was shuttered after Bill Clinton was elected president.

I always wondered what was going on down there and what areas of the underground tunnel were accessible. Ultimately, I would move away a year later, taking a job at a newspaper in Louisiana.

In approximately 2018, a guy I know named “Pete,” who researches “wood apes” (better known as “Sasquatch” or “Bigfoot”), told me that he was looking into the Superconducting Super Collider site and was interested in accessing it from above ground at various secret entrances on the surface.

One of the entrances, he said, was on a soccer field there in Ellis County, where Waxahachie is located. He had done some initial exploration of the area and was trying to access it when a vehicle showed up and scared him off. Pete said he was planning to return to look at seeing what was really down there. I am not sure if he ever did. I never heard anything else about it.

This notion of fleeing underground has really been coming a lot of late. This morning I watched documentary called The Underground, about the mysterious Phil Schneider, a guy, in the mid-1990’s, who claimed he had been involved in a violent encounter with gray aliens beneath the ground at a base under Dulce, New Mexico.

What caught my attention was the fact that the Bechtel corporation has been involved in a lot of underground construction projects over the decades. I paid more attention to Bechtel this summer, while attending a high adventure Scout camp at the Summit Bechtel Reserve near Glen Jean, West Virginia.

Right off the bat, upon entering Summit Bechtel Reserve, I felt I was entering a military installation. There was a decidedly weird vibe on this pretty piece of mountainous property. It reminded me of certain places in Arkansas where I grew up, where the vibe was military, even though it was civilian.

Of course, the Boy Scouts of America and military and defense contractors all go hand-in-hand. A buddy of mine and I drove around and explored the property, sometimes coming upon signs that warned people to not enter.

I referenced this summer’s West Virginia trip in my recent “The last ride” post. I had strange, synchromystic encounters and more along the route and while I was there. On a back road at Summit, I noticed military – US Army Corps of Engineers? – building something down a hill from the road. I asked the driver – who grew up in that area – what was going on. All he said was that the whole Boy Scout camp story was “a cover.” And that people weren’t being told the truth about what was really going on there.

Jack Links beef jerky apparently is a big supporter of Summit Bechtel Reserve. In their ads a few years back, they featured a Bigfoot creature, like the one in Harry and The Hendersons. So, I was surprised to come across lifelike statues of the Jack Links owner and a towering Bigfoot! (photo at the top of this post).

So, what are the people behind Summit Bechtel trying to convey? It isn't patriotism or love of country. After all, on Independence Day, during the daily flag raising, the folks in charge didn't even mention the fact that it was the Fourth of July, the date of our country's declaration of independence from Great Britain. It was a missed opportunity. Perhaps their obsession with underground facilities is more about a borderless future. Perhaps?

As for the stuff going on on the property, I believed the driver I was talking to. It was a place for locals to work, but they could no longer hunt and fish on the former mining company property. In a way, it was kind of sad. 

The military-industrial complex has utilized the state of West Virginia and its people for decades for their nefarious purposes. Is it any surprise that this state has more than its fair share of high weirdness? From the Mothman to the Flatwoods Monster and much, much more that remains perplexing and unexplained.

Regardless, there is a lot going on underground. Much we don’t know and never will know.

Oh, and recall earlier this summer, the notorious Georgia Guidestones were bombed. Later, they were totally taken down because of the hazard they posed after the bombing. And more recently, it was reported that the City of Denver, Colorado was warning citizens to have a “bug out bag” on hand – just in case. Just in case of what?

Reminds me of another piece I wrote about seven-and-a-half years ago …

My Dust Devil Dreams post, “Going underground,” from April 22, 2015:

OKLAHOMA CITY – It was during the week of March 16-22, 1980 that The Jam single “Going Underground” went to number 1 in Britain, according to the UK’s OfficialCharts.com.

Images of Uncle Sam, a “red telephone,” a trumpet and a black-and-white shoe are splashed on the screen of The Jam’s fairly-straightforward band video that is peppered with stock footage of atomic-bomb tests. A reflection – like The Clash’s “London Calling,” also popular at the time – of the apprehension a lot of people felt as the Cold War got colder.

“You want more money, of course I don’t mind,” sings Paul Weller. “To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes / And the public gets what the public wants / But I want nothing this society’s got.”

Listening to this post-punk pop track, I’m reminded just how good The Jam was before Weller (“The Modfather”) suddenly broke them up and later former soul-pop outfit The Style Council.

But Weller’s solo material has received pretty positive reactions from critics and he is clearly a man who is “illuminated,” after all, his 2002 Illumination is considered one of his best solo albums.

But back to “Going Underground.” Why bring it up?

Well, in light of my recent “nuclear war” Dust Devil Dreams pieces and my straight news and opinion pieces on the increasingly perilous state of the world, I have had multiple people contact me about the Jade Helm 15 exercise that will, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution “involve all branches of the U.S. military with troops in seven states from Texas to California” and begin on July 15, 2015 and to conclude September 15, 2015.

 

Yes, the exercise will be the largest, domestic military operation conducted during so-called “peace time” since the 1950’s. And it has the Internet in a total uproar.

 

Admittedly, I have been busy and have not had the time to commit to investigating Jade Helm as much as I would like. Having seen similar domestic military exercises in recent years, and having written about them, noting the peripheral issues related to concerns about “martial law” and so forth, some say it's a lot of useless hysteria and "crying wolf."

I don’t mean to downplay the concerns people have. I have my own questions. But I also know how issues like Jade Helm can take a life of their own.

But something caught my attention from a synchromystic standpoint. It was a video I happened upon on one of the Facebook threads I happened to be following. It was put together by someone on YouTube I am unfamiliar with and the video was titled “Jade Helm JAM: ARE YOU READY to Go UNDERGROUND???”

 

Did they mean The Jam? The mod-rocking revivalists from Britain with Paul Weller? Apparently so. And the song, I noted earlier, “Going Underground,” was playing a major role in this Jade Helm-linked conspiracy theory, after all, take the “J,” “A,” and “M” out of “Jade Helm” and you get “JAM,” just as was noted last year when a mysterious cube containing the word “JAM” was inserted into the Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, Georgia.

As Red Dirt Report writer Louis Fowler noted at the time: “Completed in March 1980, the Georgia Guidestones have been a true American mystery that ranks up there with the Toynbee Tiles and the underwater pyramids of Wisconsin. But while those could be passed off as the ramblings of an eccentric madman, or the architecture of a dying culture, respectively, the Guidestones have, throughout the decades, taken an increasingly sinister turn into representing both.”

Now, recall the fact that “Going Underground” was a hit for The Jam the week of March 16-22, 1980. Oddly enough, the Georgia Guidestones were “unveiled” on March 22, 1980 before a crowd of several hundred people.

Quite a coincidence, eh?

I say that because it is often noted in conspiracy circles that the “elite” will go “underground” when whatever they unleashed on us – is unleashed. They often point to the first message on the Guidestones which reads: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” Check out my September 2014 Dust Devil Dreams post "Flood of blood." I note the Guidestones and the destruction of my Carl Jung biography in a "flood" while addressing the "rivers of blood" Jung noted prior to World War I and the "river of blood" coming out of the elevator in The Shining - the image that frightened me so back in that synchromystic year of 1980.

 

Of course I have no idea if Paul Weller is truly "in the know" (being a well-known British rock music celebrity, with over 35 years in the business, I'm sure he knows Eyes Wide Shut is essentially a documentary) but looking at his music catalogue I would say he knows something. And what is even more curious is that on May 18, 2015 (there's that May 18th date (eruption of Mount St. Helen's) that keeps coming up - note my DDD "Fire on the mountain"), Weller is releasing an album titled Saturns Pattern!!!! 

The image for the Weller solo album is of a multicolored hexagon, like the hexagon photographed on Saturn's north pole, something that has perplexed scientists. Photos taken in - yes, 1980! - show the hexagon on Saturn, as I noted in my sync piece "Following the (sun) bear," which also has references to the onion-layered Stanley Kubrick film The Shining.

 

But with Saturn, we are also here to talk about Cronos, the god of time. Do you feel that there has been a shift in time? I was talking about that very thing today. And this morning, Huey Lewis & The News' 1985 song "Back in Time," from Back to the Future, was running through my head. That brings me to the Joe Alexander  video "Back to the Future: Secret Symbolism Myths and Archetypes." It really resonates with me.

 

As H.P. Blavatsky wrote of the occult significance of the hexagon in The Secret Doctrine:

This is good sense and logic. For if Pythagoras viewed the hexagon formed of two crossed triangles as the symbol of creation, and the Egyptians as that of the union of fire and water (or of generation), the Essenes saw in it the seal of Solomon, the Jews the Shield of David, the Hindus the sign of Vishnu (to this day); and if even in Russia and Poland the double triangle is regarded as a powerful talisman––then so widespread a use argues that there is something in it. It stands to reason, indeed, that such an ancient and universally revered symbol should not be merely laid aside to be laughed at by those who know nothing of its virtues or real Occult significance. To begin with, even the known sign is merely a substitute for the one used by the Initiates. In a Tantrika work in the British Museum, a terrible curse is called down upon the head of him who shall ever divulge to the profane the real Occult hexagon known as the “Sign of Vishnu,” “Solomon’s Seal,” etc.

The great power of the hexagon––with its central mystic sign the T, or the Svastika, a septenary––is well explained in the seventh key of Things Concealed, for it says: The seventh key is the hieroglyph of the sacred septenary, of royalty, of the priesthood [the Initiate], of triumph and true result by struggle. It is magic power in all its force, the true “Holy Kingdom.” In the Hermetic Philosophy it is the quintessence resulting from the union of the two forces of the great Magic Agent [Âkâsa, Astral Light.] . . . It is equally Jakin and Boaz bound by the will of the Adept and overcome by his omnipotence."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Louis Fowler reminded me of the Style Council's 1985 album Internationalists, writing: "The 1985 Style Council album INTERNATIONALISTS has two tunes worth looking into--"Walls Come Tumbling Down" and "Boy Who Cried Wolf".
