I was fascinated by the imagery, not because we were religious and believed in angels, we were not and…

The Tall Whites: More Disclosure About Aliens In America
The Tall Whites: More Disclosure About Aliens In America Crashed saucers? Alien bodies in a military base? Four known species of extraterrestrials visiting earth for thousands of years? Could this all be real? This week, the Canadian Minister of Defense, Hon. Paul Hellyer, said a bold YES… We were particularly struck by the mention in the above video of an E.T. species called the “Tall Whites.” The description of these aliens reminds us of the Anunnaki of ancient Sumerian myth.

The Alternate Universe of Kymaerica
The Alternate Universe of Kymaerica This art is so deeply strange and oddly intriguing – are the installations permanently marking real locations commemorating history from an alternate reality? Or are the markers temporary art pieces placed strategically for short periods of observation? Either way, the work touches on the concepts of memorials, travel, geography, and history in a way that gets our imagination soaring… THE BELIEVER – NOVERMBER/DECEMBER 2009 Discover Kymaerica The brick courtyard was adjacent to the railroad tracks on Atlanta’s industrial west side—and part of a structure that had been transformed from its industrial roots to become the home of a five-star restaurant. I must have taken a…

The dark downfall of Eleanor Cobham… The Penance of Eleanor, painted in 1900 By Nancy Bilyeau “On Monday, November 19th, 1441, the people of London lined the streets to observe an act of public penance. That morning a woman, perhaps forty years of age, bare-headed, plainly dressed, was rowed in a barge to Temple Stairs off the Thames.
