Digging Deeper into Supernatural Apes and Even More UFO Conspiracies

4/23/2014

20 Comments

 
To follow up briefly on yesterday’s post about Bigfoot and UFOs, I neglected to mention a few pertinent facts that probably should be on the record. First, the idea that there were giant apes hiding in the woods did not begin in 1958, although the Bigfoot myth does. In 1929, for example, Dr. François de Loys claimed to have photographed a five-foot tall ape in South America, though it is almost certainly a hoax created from a spider monkey; and in 1924 some miners claimed to have met a group of ape men in Ape Canyon, at Mount St. Helens, though skeptics believe they actually mistook some campers for monkey-people. (Later, in the 1960s, one of the men, Fred Beck, would claim the creatures were “not entirely of the world” and that he had Theosophical-style psychic communication with Native American spirit guides.)

De Loys's photograph of his "Ape."
The other important thing I omitted, as Jeb J. Card reminds me, is the theme of the evil ape in fiction before the pulp era, an image tied closely to racist ideas. This theme goes back at least as far as Hanno the Carthaginian, who encountered chimpanzees in the sixth century BCE and mistook them for violent, crazed women who had to be killed and skinned. Medieval bestiaries called apes “the devil in disguise.” Edgar Allan Poe wrote of an orangutan and implied sexual violence against two women whom he killed in “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” (1841). The ape has long been seen as the demonic other. The British caricatured the Irish as violent apes, and white Americans routinely depicted African-Americans in the same light. I won’t belabor the point except to point to this helpful index of apes in fiction, which more than makes the point about our evolving views of apes. Of special note are the Bigfoot-like super-strong Sagoths of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s subterranean Pellucidar, who play into the underground world theme that became a standard part of conspiracy culture.

The proverbial elephant in the room is of course King Kong (1933), which is not only about a giant ape but also carefully layers the ape into a Gothic-inspired supernatural realm in which the natives of Skull Island worship him as a god behind cyclopean walls. Robert M. Price noted three decades ago that this film, if not actually inspired by “The Call of Cthulhu” (1926), bears an uncanny similarity to it in terms of structure and motifs—all, to be sure, also found in Theosophy, fringe history, and pulp fiction. The ape, as uncanny mirror, has always been tinged with a whiff of the supernatural.

OK, so much for the supernatural ape motif for today. Now on to space aliens.

Did you see the follow-up article Buzzfeed ran last week about the New Jersey UFO conferences that spawned their article on the conference’s 57 most bizarre conspiracy theories, of which the majority were Bible-based? This piece has a little more detail about specific presentations at the conference, and while it was the same old material all over again, I was struck with some of the more unusual presentations and what they say about the forces behind conspiracy culture.

Robert Schoch continued to push the same line he’s been offering for the last few years, that the Ice Age ended due to a coronal mass ejection from the sun around 9700 BCE and that the resulting plasma clouds inspired Paleolithic artists to create petroglyphs of humanlike stick figures because that’s what the plasma clouds looked like. Obviously, human beings wouldn’t possibly be interested in drawing images of, say, human beings. Schoch seeks a physical origin in the stars for other shapes that David Lewis-Williams has demonstrated can more readily be observed within the human mind during altered states of consciousness, attempting like so many before him to somehow make the supernatural “real.”

And of course Robert Skiba presented his Bible-based speculation that angels and demons are really extraterrestrials, that some of them were giants called the Nephilim, and that their secret base was located on Mt. Hermon (1 Enoch 6:6). But as he went on, his Biblical concerns about the decline of traditional culture became increasingly evident. Jesus, he said, can protect us from aliens, but occult ritual somehow “attract” the aliens, who are drawn to invocations of Satan. Aleister Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard—those enemies of traditional Christian piety—somehow opened the inter-dimensional portals that let the UFOs into Area 51. (That’s literally, not figuratively, that they opened this gate.) Worse, CERN, the organization that runs the Large Hadron Collider, is Satanic and attempting to destroy the world in keeping with Revelation. He is concerned about occult Nazi technology (but of course) and that the UN has a secret station atop Mt. Hermon to communicate with the Watchers.

It’s not really a secret, but there is a small base—nicknamed the Hermon Hotel—atop Mt. Hermon (which, let’s note, also houses a ski resort!) as part of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Zone designed to monitor the buffer zone between Syria and Israel established at the end of the Yom Kippur War. The location of this site at 33 degrees N and 33 degrees E (of the Paris meridian) has, of course, led conspiracy theorists to connect it to Satan’s emissaries, the Freemasons, who of course were also leading the French Revolution for Satan.

That’s a new one on me, but apparently it’s an established part of the “Nephilim Research Community” and an article of faith that the one world government of UN, in anticipation of the rise of the Antichrist, has established this based on Mt. Hermon to research the Nephilim and/or communicate with the Watchers and open the gates of hell.

Perhaps most enlightening was Richard Dolan’s accidental admission of the real concerns that have driven him into the arms of conspiracy culture. “Forget upward mobility. The free market is gone. There is zero difference between the Democrats and the Republicans,” he said. Dolan’s concerns about growing income inequality would fall squarely within the left wing mainstream if it weren’t for the fact that he cannot imagine that income inequality is the result of a combination of economic changes, workforce changes, technological changes, and government policies over the past half century. Instead, he sees at work a UFO conspiracy whereby elite families, in league with the aliens, have created “a breakaway civilization” of the superrich.

I was immediately struck by the similarity to the story of climate change skeptic Christopher Monckton reported in today’s eSkeptic, whose denial of climate change seems closely tied to his nostalgia for the British Empire—for, like Dolan, he also sees an unpatriotic elite (this time in Britain) trying to destroy the good people of the middle and working classes by wrecking the economy while they party in a separate and unequal world of privilege. The only difference is that Monckton assumes that the false flag used to destroy regular people’s worlds is a fabricated global warming crisis, while Dolan prefers to the think that the government is using or hiding UFO secrets to the same ends. It’s all sort of an inverse of the classic Outer Limits episode “The Architects of Fear,” where instead of using an outside threat to bring civilization together the nefarious conspirators are using it to drive us apart.

Then, just to tie it all together, Nick Redfern gave a presentation in which he explained that the evil Men in Black, who may be aliens themselves or their cloned agents, are also investigating Bigfoot sightings and harassing witnesses. Fortunately for all of us, Bigfoot witnesses won’t be intimidated by aliens and heroic “researchers” like Nick Redfern are here to take on the national security state by exposing the government’s ongoing curtailment of civil liberties by—oh, wait, he’s actually reacting in a completely off the wall way by expressing anxiety over the modern surveillance state in terms of the supernatural, which is apparently more comforting than the idea that government officials, elected by and supposedly responsible to the public, nevertheless exercise more surveillance, monitoring, and policing power over the average person than did the absolute monarchs of old like Louis XIV. At least with aliens or angels you can assuage your anxiety with the notion that a greater intelligence is doing this as part of a plan that will ultimately end in the Second Coming, the Millennium, the Singularity, or Galactic Brotherhood rather than the uncertainty and chaos of realpolitik.

In the 1800s as more of the globe was explored, exotic species
were classified and placed inside family trees. We also have the
fossil record being carefully read & having a time time placed on
the sedimentary. Anthropology since Piltdown Man has been very
careful when placing ancient hominids inside family trees. The door
is open for more discoveries. We are cutting down our jungles and
forests dreadfully, there is less of a habitat for the species we are
aware of, and perhaps the ones we have yet to find. The door is
still open, but the type of habitat that could support a primate like
Gigantopithecus or Zinjanthropus is decreasing, evolution is real.
Evolution is a subset of Biology. Charles Darwin book is a classic
and his ideas are in our textbooks. Folklore is folklore. There are
Gigantopithicus teeth and jaws, but not a full skeleton, hence all
speculation about Yetis and Sasquatches. Science has rules...
often television shows do not manifest firm standards. Many of
sci-fi films in the 1950s were made on a budget under $50,000!

Piltdown Man was a hoax, P.T. Barnum's Fiji Mermaid was not a
specimen from a real species. Science Fiction is speculative, but
the fossil record has a dating system contingent on sedimentary
layering and also newer dating methods. So far, we do not have a
UFO having said to have landed on the White House lawn. We also
do not have a family unit of Bigfoot people dodging today's better
reporters. We do not have the media feeding frenzy, only all our
better and lousier science fiction. Again, this great debate here...

Even H.G Wells may have tapped into the wise lore about
the vvery last Neanderthals that his fellow Victorians were
evolving, his ELOI are like yesteryear's French Aristocrats
and his MORLOCKs are yesteryear's Trolls when crossed
with the workers in the worst of the mines or the slums, he
took the caste and class structure of his England and then
projected it forwards in time 800,ooo years. His number is
achingly close to the genome divide between us & our near
Neandertal kin, this zone where a loose species became two
sub-species each with rather specific habitats. Toss in the
factor of climate shifts and changes, and a few technological
devises that would seem like magic, and we have his story
being very believable to his readers. He and Lovecraft tapped
into our Ids as a species, Carl Jung's collective unconcious is
a very relevant speculation in Psychology, it explains a mass
mind, and there are moments when on almost an instinctual
level humanity moves in unison even if motivated by abstractions.
Cyborgs, robots, automatons and androids dominated pulp mags
as did mutant humans and/or apes and death rays, pulp mags
gave our modern comics a foundation to build on, as our tastes
became more varied and subtle. Film budgets can vary as can
a given film's box office. Science Fiction often is clearly labeled
as such. Much of the History Channels's offerings can be SF!!!!

THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU by H.G. Wells...
4/23/2014 10:48:52 am

its a Sci-Fi novel, it is written about a half century
before Watson, Crick and Franklin made familiar the
double helix shape our electron microscopes can
pick up on, its written more than a century ago, before
DNA splicing, but it goes into the ethics of excessive
experimentation. Artificial beings, half human, half beast
are created by a mad scientist on a remote island. the
plot is very familiar because this novel inspired others!
if "beast" = "creature" = "great ape" then we have a theme
that ties this together, Biology Science in full mis-use,
the tampering with God's Work, the deeper theme is much
like Mary Shelley's novel FRANKENSTEIN. Isaac Asimov
also tapped into this theme when writing I,ROBOT more
than 60 years ago. Biology + Technology run amuck, yes!

"Stephen Jay Gould would remind his readers that anthropology is such that “experts” find what they are looking for regardless if it is present. “Information always reaches us through the strong filters of culture, hope, and expectation.” In using the notorious hoax of Piltdown Man for an example, he says of Sir Arthur Keith’s examination of it: “ ‘His forehead was like that of an orang, devoid of a supraorbital torus; in its modeling his frontal bone presented many points of resemblance to that of the orang of Borneo and Sumatra’. . . Careful examination of the jaw also revealed a set of remarkably human features for such an apish jaw (beyond the forged wear of the teeth). Sir Arthur Keith repeatedly emphasized, for example, that the teeth were inserted into the jaw in a human, rather than a simian, fashion.” (goTo bermuda-triangle link)

was "Giganto" ever bipedal?
4/23/2014 12:04:51 pm

Dr. Meldrum quotes Dr. Krantz in his Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science regarding the lone jaw Krantz had to work with. Krantz declared that the bodies of the mandibles “diverge toward the rear in a remarkable manner. This divergence is so extreme that it would make sense only if the base of the neck was positioned so far forward as to require this spread in order for it to fit between the jaw’s rear extensions. Such a neck orientation would have to be vertical, and thus indicates a fully upright posture . . .”

Just one paragraph previous, however, Meldrum noted far more to the point of the proverbial bomb on the topic using the work of Russell Ciochon, who wrote Other Origins: The Search for the Giant Apes in Human Prehistory. “Without the skeleton of the torso and limbs, the postcranial skeleton, or the base of the skull, which reveals how the skull was poised on the spine, researchers are very limited in what can be inferred about how Gigantopithecus stood or walked”— a fairly scientific approach that really negates Krantz’s theoretical leaps over a jaw.

Original sin is lack of knowledge of the real Sasquatch foot. The rest is denial that the human enlarged footprints are fakes. This alone has made Gigantopithecus into a bipedal higher primate.

This is the “scientific world” of Bigfoot. It is a ghastly contradictory mess that survives because most scientists refuse to touch such chimeras as Krantz built and Meldrum contemplates. Only in the world of “proletarian Bigfoot investigators,” as Meldrum tastelessly would call them, could his and Krantz’s science of nonsense stand out as the most probable scientific theory.

(ask me HOW + WHY "bigfoot bounty" never paid the cool ten million out!)

elaine morgan is known for her aquatic ape theories...
4/23/2014 12:13:11 pm

there is a close linkage between yesteryear's aquatic apes
that lived on riverbanks + sea coasts prior to charles darwin's
african Savannah hypothesis of 3.5 to 2.5 million years ago
and the giganto = sasquatch = yeti = yowie school. i tend to
go back to "zinj" and the large molars + jaw from 3 million B.C

There is one thing that puzzles me.

Mount Hermon isn't at 33N, 33E. Not very near, too.
The top is about 33.25'N,35.50'E

33N,33E is deep in the Mediterranean sea, about 270km distant from Mt. Hermon.

Hm. Apes have forward-facing eyes and look similar but definitively different from humans. Owls have forward-facing eyes and faces that look similar but definitively different from humans. Both have a long history of being considered evil and/or unlucky and/or harbingers of violence and death.

Yeah, I'm seeing some Uncanny Valley going on here. (Click the link on my name if you don't know what that is.)

Varika... your link explains social ostracism in human societies,
the defining of the"other' --- the link explains old Athens and the
trial of Socrates, had he been a nobleman's son, he'd have been
left alone. the divide between peasants/workers + leaders/nobles!

I'm not sure it's really meant to describe the reaction of humans to other humans so much as the reaction of humans to things that look like but are not human, though. Uncanny Valley to me has always described looking at something where you feel like you ought to be able to predict behavior and can't. That's different from fearing other people on the basis of behavior you CAN predict. Socrates might have been left alone--but he might also have still wound up in trouble for hanging out with peasants too much. The divides between classes are far more based in "I have it and they want it" than "What IS that thing and why does it not behave the way it should?" I don't even think it plays a role in racism, because even the grossest sort of racism denies humanity as a mechanism to justify negative behaviors, rather than a lack of recognition of humanity being the underlying cause.

Another curious crossover is the comic Mandrake the Magician. In the story The abominable Snowman from 1960 he is exploring the Himalayas in order to investigate the strange creatures inhabiting the mountains.
Here they discover that the snowmen are really suits worn by ancestors of the Ancient Greeks having a secret civilization in the mountains thus combining ideas of Hyperborea, Yetis, Atlantis and ancient civilizations in one - and to some degree the idea of yetis and advanced aliens working together.

So basically this is where skeptics meet to be skeptical, sounds really productive! At the end of the day you can walk away from here knowing that, especially when you put your heads together, you still know everything.
Congratulations.
