Graham Hancock Says Trees Are Spying on Us; Plus: Masonic Journal Editor Says Wolter Wrong on Peer Review

7/7/2016

53 Comments

 
I wrote a lot yesterday, and I’m feeling a bit lazy today. I have three small items to share.
 
The first comes to us courtesy of Graham Hancock, who posted a completely bizarre captioned photo to his blog after visiting California. There Hancock saw very old trees, some of which are thousands of years old. “What if they are the antennae of vast cosmic beings who are watching humanity and the earth?” he said in the caption to a photo of one such tree taken by his wife. Is Hancock back on pot again? Some New Age types have been floating the idea that trees serve as antennae to focus earth energy, but Hancock seems to be making them into sentient beings linked to Old Ones from beyond our ken. He even titled his post “The Watchers,” invoking intentionally or not the Fallen Angels and the forbidden wisdom of the antediluvian era. 
Second, you might have seen the strange new article on Ancient Origins claiming that cyclopean style ancient architecture is actually a secret written language communicating decipherable written messages through the angles of the polygons used to build it. This comes to us from Dr. Derek Cunningham, who argues that the specific angles used in each stone correspond to astronomical events. One angle he believes he finds regularly is 5.1°, which is the offset of the moon’s orbital plane relative to the Earth. He finds such angles everywhere, from rocks to walls to whole buildings. How he can measure angles to a tolerance of a thousandth of a degree, as his visual aids suggest that he did, is beyond me.
 
There might be something to the idea that some ancient stones had carved lines intended to use for sighting astronomical phenomena, but the idea that cyclopean walls the world over are packed with such angles as a calling card of a globe-spanning prehistoric lost culture goes beyond belief. Imagine the sheer amount of planning it would take to carve every rock to a specific angle—to a thousandth of a degree!—rather than simply making best-fit adjustments.
 
And what is the message? The article doesn’t say. The only message it suggests is akin to “Kilroy was here.”
 
Finally today I have a follow up to share about Scott Wolter’s claim that he recently had a speculative article about a secret code he discovered on the Kensington Rune Stone published in a “peer reviewed” Masonic journal. You will recall that on July 2, Wolter announced that his paper had been published in the Rocky Mountain Mason, which he described as a “peer reviewed Masonic journal.” The editor of that publication confirmed that the journal is, as most of us already knew, not peer reviewed in the academic sense, or really any sense.
 
Several interested parties (though not me) contacted Rocky Mountain Mason editor Ben Williams about Wolter’s claim. I have received permission to share this statement from Williams:
 
“The Mason is not a scholarly journal, but a quarterly periodical for Freemasons.  Although submissions are subject to an editorial review board, I cannot claim the publication meets the standards of peer review or academic journals particular to a specialty or subject area.”
 
Williams, however, said that Wolter’s article was interesting and to his mind a well-documented discussion of history.
 
And there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth: The Rocky Mountain Mason disputes Wolter’s description of it as a “peer-reviewed” journal.

"“What if they are the antennae of vast cosmic beings who are watching humanity and the earth? And what if you look at a color, and I look at the same color, but we see different colors? Way out, man!”

I wonder what part of a tree's anatomy Hancock thinks acts as the antenna, and what kind of signals he thinks it sends or receives. Should be pretty easy to figure out, if it's only present in old trees.

Just watched a documentary on serial killers and a forensic psychologist who was interviewed had on his bookshelf stull like "Ancient Mysteries"

Screw Graham Hancock and "Ancient Origins" when there are shrinks within criminology that believe in the supernatural and in conspiracy theories.

Stanley Krippner takes Edgar Cayce's garbage seriously.

The real world is full of bullshit.

Maybe forensic psychologists have found that keen followers of "Ancient Mysteries" and suchlike are much more likely than average to commit crimes of violence.

Hey, my family is all about the science, and WE have copies of "Ancient Mysteries" type stuff on OUR shelves, too. 1. It's great comedy, and 2. It's awesome prompts for writing FICTION. For a forensic psychologist, I can actually see it being potentially important research material, since psychology is all about understanding how other people THINK. If you don't know how a fringey type thinks, how can you predict him or her? Criminal psychologists need to read a looooot of things that are wacko, and knocking that means that you're ignorant of their job, not that they're "full of bullshit."

If the ancients measured astronomical angles to an accuracy of 1/10 degree, then they had to have been watching the sky long enough to also observe that the ground beneath them is constantly shifting - due to even the smallest earthquakes. Therefore it would be futile to build monoliths (especially ones that takes years to build) to that accuracy and expect the alignment to persist, even for a year.

How could they be so smart about astronomy, but totally naive about the shifting landscape.

Well, I am convinced. My neighbor has a pine tree in his yard, it is quite large and has been there for a long time. My neighbor said that tree was there when he moved in something like thirty years ago. It is a lot bigger now and as such has been around for most of the happening in the neighborhood. I became convinced several years ago that the tree was reporting all of us to the F.B.I. I mean, the government is everywhere, keeping tabs on all of us.

"Williams, however, said that Wolter’s article was interesting and to his mind a well-documented discussion of history."

What background does Williams have to say on what is a "well-documented discussion of history"? A third of Scott's sources were his own books, and this entire theory, once again, hinges on the idea that the word "Grail" was encoded into the runes on the KRS. A word and a concept that wasn't even postulated, or made aware of, in the ancient Swedish language and culture, let alone of the fact that they had no words that were the equivalent to it. As much as I appreciate Mr. Williams coming forth and clarifying yet another situation where Wolter has manipulated the facts yet again, I cannot get around the fact that his journal and Masonic body are just as bad as many past Masons who embraced conspiracy theories and pseudoscience for the sake of bringing attention to their organization so as to prevent it from dying out for good. If there are any real academics who work for the quarterly they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this bullshit, as it takes away their own credibility.

Pseudoscientists think of themselves as the "true" scientists presenting the "real" or repressed science. They have scientific pretentions, but can't deliver the goods. So they are reduced to rubbishing mainstream science in hopes that, by default, they gain some scientific authority.

Mr. Ben Williams will indeed confirm that his Rocky Mountain Mason periodical is neither scholarly nor peer reviewed. Therefore my good sir, if you do not wish to leave behind a legacy for that of a liar, I would proffer henceforth that you refrain from such behavior accordingly.

Cheers,

Lesley


Scott Wolter July 7, 2016 at 9:04 PM

Lesley,

Actually, you're right the publication is not "scholarly" as in being affiliated with a University or PhD's. I apologize if I gave that impression. However, my paper was reviewed by Masonic peers so it was in fact, peer reviewed. In any case, the paper has been reviewed, published and stands on its own merit.

Since you are not a brother Mason, any opinion by your any other non-Masons on the substance of the paper has little if any value. Maybe just this one time, you should put aside your negative bias and possibly learn something.

Isn't that a novel concept?"

No one can double-down on a lie quite like Wolter. What you have there is Wolter trying to diminish the word "scholarly" as if it pertains to those pesky academics with PhD's who of course perpetuate the imagined conspiracy against him. As for his Masonic slight, note the continued equivocation with the term of art that is "peer-review". Since he's now a Mason, they are his peers from this point on; and you have to be one to have any credibility in his new brand of sophistry.

Deep down it's the same old lie from the same old liar, but now he's sullying the Freemasons in doing so. I can imagine those Freemasons now... the ones who let him in... with their faces firmly implanted within their palms.

Anonymous,

You are quite right there are other very old books that cryptically referred to North America as the "New Jerusalem" or secret sanctuary that was known about long before Columbus and the Norse.

The KRS was the first tangible land claim placed by the Templars/Venus Families that served as the official beginning of the founding of our country. It's no coincidence the job was finished by the ideological, and bloodline, descendants of the Templars/Venus Families we now call our "Founding Fathers."


Mindy McCarthy July 8, 2016 at 4:56 AM

Hi Scott,

Will you be putting out more research in the future on how the founding fathers are related to the Venus families? Like for instance, an extensive study on the genealogy and family trees of people like George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Benjamin Rush and the like? It would be interesting to see what shows up. :)

-- Mindy


Scott WolterJuly 8, 2016 at 6:03 AM
Mindy,

More extensive study of the genealogy of our Founding Fathers is very fertile ground and would likely yield many interesting connections. We know George Washington has intriguing family ties, but I haven't gone down that road very far at all.

Cort Lindahl has researched some of these family ties, but I have yet to read his research. I suspect there's quite a bit of material out there already on these people, but likely not looked into in this context.

I'll keep you posted as things develop; I like your thinking!"


I'm sorry but SHOULDN'T YOU LOOK INTO THAT FIRST YOU IDIOT!!!!! I was thinking about commenting on this post but I thought "why bother." I'll just let Scott slip further down his road of solipsism and hypocrisy, since it prevents him from having a reasonable conversation on anything without projecting his own intellectual insecurities on others and dodging basic questions on logic.

The real shame of this is that there is a wealth of real history to be discovered in regard to the Founding Fathers, and most of it written by them both publicly and privately. When idiots such as Wolter and his ilk try to put their fringe spin on them by making up obvious and inconsistent falsehoods, it only shows what in fact they do not know. Which is a great deal, of course.

True, but Wolter always spins these stories and no matter what people still believe him. Thats why I question Darwin Ohman's judgement, because after reading what Richard Neilson, Henrik Williams, Alice Kehoe and what various people who showed up on America Unearthed have said about him, I don't know how he can still question his trust with Wolter. That's why I think Wieblen's observations are important because he still seems to be one of the few people in the situation that Wolter has not lashed out at yet. And Wieblen still seemed like someone who even Ohman has trusted as well even to this day. If he comes out and says something that doesn't help Wolter's credibility or narrative, what does that say to others? Can it be the nail in the coffin to Wolter's credibility or will it be something else? Cause he has played a lot of people and now it's bothering me because he is now in astrology territory when it comes to his bullshit theories.

Joe Scales

John,
I wouldn't invest so much of yourself into this. Wolter is a fraud. Plain and simple. You can't argue with him on his blog as his goal there is to first and foremost protect his fringe industry. What, you expect him to come out and agree with you? That he's wrong? That he insults those underserving of such petulance? He's going to put all this nonsense aside and go back to investigating the structural soundness of concrete? People who've already crossed him know better. I'm sure some have come to a sort of truce with him, not to be sullied online with his malevolence in exchange for simply moving on. The Ohman family has its own interests, and so long as they coincide with Wolter's brand, you can't expect it to make any more sense than that.

In the end Wolter will be his own undoing. His theories will not stand the test of moments, let alone time. His books will go unread. His show will disappear from the airwaves. Till then, it's just flapping in the water to keep afloat.

I foresee that a major hurdle for Scott Wolter to overcome is his disbelief that Jesus is the Son of God. But worse, he seems to be driven in his desire to "prove" that Jesus is not the Son of God. How this will eventually fit in with his newfound masonic affiliations is a good question for his very spiritual new friends to ask of him. I would ask him what motivates him to deny the divinity of Jesus, and what causes him to attempt to tarnish good Christian men of the past with his very own weirdly-put-together, anti-Christ dogma?

In his recent blog, Wolter smugly says: "Any and all theories regarding who created the Kensington Rune Stone inscription now must incorporate the “Ritual Code” discovery into the thesis."

Really? He then goes on to confirm in his own mind for everyone that the portion of the KRS's inscription dealing with the massacre of ten men should be cast aside as an allegory not even worth considering in light of the new masonic Ritual Code.

But, I think the hurdle now becomes a high-hurdle for Wolter, as he continues in his attempts to charge valiant Christian Knights Templar of the past with the same evil belief system he has put together with such awkward synthesis. Also, he is presumably attempting to tarnish a medieval rune-carving Christian monk with believing the same madness he's put together so shamelessly. How will his new masonic friends deal with all this Christian-bashing of their past, spiritual, monk friends?

Why should Scott Wolter not now, finally, be looked at as both an enemy of the Cross, and as an enemy of the Kensington Runestone? My public message to him is: Wolter, you are not qualified to speak about the Christian identity of the KRS…you’ve blown it by continual, repeated blasphemy against what Templars of the past and present believe in, for the most part. Who can deny that many Knights Templar in the past—and even now, too, will continue to believe in the risen Son of God?

In health terms, this type of mismash does go on even within academia. For instance, I graduated as a Massage Therapist before completing my undergrad. While finishing it up a few years ago I repeatedly ran into this same error thru my undergraduate alma matters Library database. The provider consistently listed in error ordinary periodicals from the massage industry as peer reviewed journals. I graduated from MT school in 98. At the time, I THINK I recall being told that there were a few (no more than approximately 3 or so) peer reviewed journals that had existed in the field, including everything from dance and movement therapies to mainstream sports) but that at least one had gone out of print and the others were published outside the US. I've chimed in with this observation to note, that this is nothing unusual out of or inside academia. "Big deal" in essence. Can Facebook be believed? What NEEDS PRESERVATION? Truly? Culture or Civilization? The historiographical paradigms that treat pluralism as an arm of economics or the axiological VALUE of the self same culture? Catch 22 on the Free Will billboard up in Times Square. William James or Whitehead? The Beauty Myth or Backlash that Peter Knight notes Naomi Wolf and Susan Faludi insisting "is not a conspiracy." If Knight is himself not playing loose with decentered subjects in his chapter on feminism as the shape of conspiracy (his conspiracy culture was published just before 9.11.2001) then what is the "problem with NOH name" that shuffles to and fro like a red rubber ball under a street hustlers cup? Yes, NOH.

"[...]Hancock saw very old trees, some of which are thousands of years old. “What if they are the antennae of vast cosmic beings who are watching humanity and the earth?” he said in the caption to a photo of one such tree taken by his wife."

There's that Danikenesque "what if?" Just throw out a half-baked idea and hope someone will actually formulate a theory for you. The real question is, why should we think such a thing at all? What in the world would prompt us to speculate that trees could transmit communications to extraterrestrials?

This is how cranks help to corrupt their audience's understanding of how science is supposed to work. The archaeologist/historian/what have you are not supposed to be like novelists, sitting about dreaming up fantastic stories and then going to look for "evidence" to be adduced for, or shoehorned into the narrative. They're in the business of gathering the evidence, then explaining it, or improving the explanations already put forth.
