Antarctica: The Secret Land

Antarctica is truly the last frontier. Its distance and inaccessibility easily lend itself to speculation and rumor. Beginning with enigmatic ancient maps, which some believe show the southern continent as it looks without ice and snow, its existence has remained shrouded in mystery as well as ice. Many theorize Atlantis is to be found there; Internet rumors claim there are satellite images which reveal an anomaly beneath the ice, replete with the concentric circles Plato wrote about, though I couldn’t find them. Not surprising; such a find would rock the scientific world in terms of the age of civilization. Some alternative researchers however do suggest that Antarctica used to lie in tropical regions before the last pole shift, and was the site of a flourishing ancient society.

Searches for “Antarctica anomaly” yielded a work of fiction some claim could be a disinformation campaign for what scientists have really discovered down there. Another involves Lake Vostok, the “largest deep sub-ice body of water on our planet”, which stays liquid as a result of heat from an unknown source and along whose shores scientists have found an “unknown magnetic anomaly”. Since 1999 there have been a few highly unusual and dangerous ‘emergency airlifts’ during the winter, arousing suspicions; a few scientists involved in research in Antarctica have also turned up dead for various reasons. The coincidence is debatable, but rumors suggest they knew something and wanted to talk. Soon after this unusual activity, some controversy arose surrounding the development of an “ice highway” due to potential environmental impact, but the road was recently completed anyway; now they can drive there, lessening the reliance on cargo plane travel to cart equipment to and from the research stations.

All kinds of interesting news filters out of Antarctica; there are lots of blogs and even a newspaper. Awhile back I found a strange story at Pravda about some kind of time portal in Antarctica. Research also brought up Nazi interest in the continent; it is well known that Hitler was deeply involved in the occult and was perhaps influenced by claims that such knowledge originated in Atlantis, or maybe he was looking for the passage to Agartha itself, supposedly accessible through holes in the poles. There is some history of military activity there, see Operation Highjump and Britain’s secret war. There’s even a movie called The Secret Land about the US military exploration of Antarctica in 1948. But according to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, countries are no longer allowed to engage in military activity there – of course, one imagines that some, including the US, are indeed doing just that, in secret. In fact I found other rumors of the NSA coming in and taking over the study of Lake Vostok. Certainly there is military technology there.

And amongst the news about all the melting going on down there as a result of global warming, I found this article about “an unprecedented series of ‘blasts’, energy surges, which the planet has been taking from an as yet unknown source which has been bombarding Antarctica with cosmic rays and disrupting Northern Hemisphere weather systems on a global scale.” The largest blast occurred on December 1, 2004, just weeks before the earthquake/tsunami in Indonesia. This information startled me into thinking about Planet X again as being the cause. This quote from an anonymous Russian scientist gave me pause, “Why this game? We all know what’s happening.” Global Research concluded the article by wondering about a fact apparently known to world governments and scientific establishments but beyond the understanding of the general public at large. “It remains an undisputed fact that this world of ours is facing a type of global cataclysmic event buried in our common geological past, and maybe…in our common ancestral memory also.”

Certain investigators have suggested this debated extra-planetary body is hurling towards Earth’s South Pole which is why most astronomers don’t see it, and why there is such fevered research going on down there right now. Former CNN producer Marshall Masters does a great job finding what programs are being sponsored that could aid in tracking Planet X; incidentally, he also throws his hat into the ring with the binary star theory. Who knows what is really going on, what will happen, if or when but one thing is for sure: I will continue to pay attention.
