Lovecraft's Rediscovered Land

(Conspiracy Nation, 7/20/03) -- What are these "stories", these "conspiracy tales", which hatched full-grown in the 1990s via Internet? Instantly ubiquitous, were they some powerful folklore providentially sent from H. P. Lovecraft's (image, left) rediscovered land? Had Wonder dared to revisit the Totalitarian Expert State? All had been cut-and-dried, until the avalanche of conspiracy tales poured moisture upon the dust mites of expertism. Mystery had returned! But always the bought-and-paid-for pigeon-cluckers are ready and willing to sell out for birdseed. The forces of Mystery & Wonder are arrayed against the forces of Mundane Mendacity & Expertism. Send forth the conspiracy tales!   On the fringes of The Fringe, there is the persistent notion of an ancient interbreeding between humans and lizard aliens. Or is it cover for a more recent series of ultra-secret genetic experiments? Wild stories of escaped "Bat Boys" and human-alligator hybrids keep appearing in the highly-suspect Weekly World News tabloid. The silly photos as accompaniment are too literal: bottom-half alligator; top-half human. A true human-lizard hybrid would not be so neatly divided.

"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

Lizard-like aliens descended upon ancient Mayans and interbred with them, producing "a form of life they could inhabit, they fluctuated between a human and iguana appearance through chameleon-like abilities." [1]

The fringes of The Fringe, and polite laughter used against the extravagance and artificiality of dreams. But Wonder is not dead; it only sleeps. "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die." [3]

Quetzalcoatl: the Mayan god whose name means "feathered snake." Suggestive. What sort of reptile has feathers? A flying reptile?

In Ohio, a strange ancient mound in the shape of a serpent. What creature tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden? Perhaps it was a feathered snake.

A feathered snake. A flying reptile. A dragon. Draco, the Athenian "lawgiver" ("law", from the Old English word "licgan" meaning "to lie.") He, the aforesaid Draco, meaning "dragon", gives lies (laws) to the Athenians. They say his laws are draconian.

"Spider" is from the Old English word "spinnan": "to spin." "Subtle" is from the Latin word "subtilis" meaning "finely woven" but with further depth of "sub" + "tela" indicating a spider's web. In the Garden, the serpent is most subtle of all. The subtle serpent tells Eve she can be "like God"; Eve to be "like God" by bearing the children of "God."

We have, to varying degrees, an area in our brains called "the reptile brain." "This ancient area of the brain is driven by another prehistoric segment which some neuroanatomists call the R-complex." [4] "Blue bloods" are the progeny of the Draco/Eve copulations: they, the "blue bloods," have a more pronounced R-complex than we do. These lizard-like beings are peculiar; they are cold-blooded. From the fish to the lizard... And even the venerated H.P. Lovecraft had a strange atavism: "He (Lovecraft) seems to have developed a rare, little-understood affliction called poikilothermism. The victim loses the normal mammalian ability to keep his body's temperature constant, regardless of changes in the ambient temperature. His (Lovecraft's) body assumes the temperature of its surroundings, as if he were a reptile or a fish." [5]

Understand that H.P. Lovecraft need neither have been necessarily evil nor good: that struggle was his. But Lovecraft, through traces of atavistic throwback, had an ability to tune in on a more subtle vibration. His dreams and visions were assisted by his poikilothermism and evidently heightened R-complex.

The dinosaur evolution was supposedly completely halted by some astounding circumstance of long ago. All dinosaurs supposedly disappeared. But the dinosaurs, suggests John Rhodes, might have had significant survivors post-"cataclysm" of 65 million years ago. Rhodes raises the question, "What if most 'extraterrestrials' are really evolved reptilian terrestrial beings that live underground?" [6] 65 million years is a long time in which to have further evolved. (How much could you learn in 65 million years?) Paleontologist Dr. Dale Russell says that if dinosaurs had survived the "cataclysm" of 65 million years ago, they would have eventually become humanoid in their physical appearance. [6]

In his stories, H.P. Lovecraft refers to a strange book called The Necronomicon, written by Abdul Alhazred circa 750 A.D., in Damascus. According to Robert Anton Wilson's research, Abdul Alhazred's book was originally entitled Al Azif. It was supposedly translated into Latin by Olaus Wormius under the title Necronomicon. Dr. John Dee, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, apparently translated the Necronomicon into English. H.P. Lovecraft's father (who incidentally went insane and was committed to an asylum circa 1893, where he died a few years later) is said to have borrowed a copy of Dee's translation from the Grand Orient Lodge of Egyptian Freemasonry in Providence, Rhode Island, H.P. Lovecraft's home town. In this way, Lovecraft may have come to read the book.

But biographer L. Sprague de Camp is persuaded that The Necronomicon is an elaborate hoax. De Camp's tale is that Lovecraft's 1936 essay, "A History of the Necronomicon," is an elaborate hoax; that Wilson H. Shepherd published a pamphlet in 1938 based on Lovecraft's essay, which Shepherd entitled, "The History and Chronology of the Necronomicon"; and that librarians have since then been plagued by requests for The Necronomicon.

A Robert Morning Sky, half Apache and half Hopi "Indian," has authored two books: Guardians of the Grail and The Terra Papers. Mr. Morning Sky says that his grandfather found one of the creatures which survived the crash of an unusual aircraft near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. The creature, it is said, told Morning Sky's grandfather some secrets. In his book, The Terra Papers, Mr. Morning Sky reportedly claims a reptilian race from Orion, a constellation seen in the night sky, conquered Earth long ago and made us their property. Intermediaries between the reptilians and the humans were what is called the plutocracy. These "human servitors of the snake-people founded the Bank of England... to control the world by financial hocus-pocus." [7]

So did the reptilians come from the sky? Or did they hide underground and continue to evolve 65-or-so million years ago? Or do these various tales mask more modern, ultra-secret genetic experiments? It is said that a secret, enormous underground military-industrial-medical base is located near Dulce, New Mexico. "Dulce, from the information that we posess, seems to be primarily a genetic experimentation center which extends 2.5 miles (about 12,000 feet) deep into the earth." [8] Part of the super-secret genetic process, it is suggested, involves the abductee phenomena. Many women report being abducted by "aliens." False memories of "alien" abductions may mask real abductions where women are artificially inseminated and "hybrid fetuses" are "removed after three months and their growth accelerated in the lab." [8]

"In the end we find ourselves stuck in a bizarre hall of mirrors full of constantly shifting, bizarre images, each one more improbable than the next. Are the images alien? Human? Are the perpetrators hiding behind disinformation or propaganda masks? Hypnotic masks? Electronically or chemically induced masks?" [9]

Lovecraft sums it up:

Wonder had gone away, and he had forgotten that all life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other. Custom had dinned into his ears a superstitious reverence for that which tangibly and physically exists, and had made him secretly ashamed to dwell in visions... They had chained him down to things that are, and had then explained the workings of those things till mystery had gone out of the world... Then he would have recourse to the polite laughter they had taught him to use against the extravagance and artificiality of dreams; for he saw that the daily life of our world is every inch as extravagant and artificial, and far less worthy of respect because of its poverty in beauty and its silly reluctance to admit its own lack of reason and purpose.
