************************************************** 

This movement, to merely get at the truth, is nothing new. However, Skeptiko is more of an offensive-minded concept. Alex Tsakiris is courageous and a great thinker. An interesting historical overview is A History of Parapsychology and Psychical Research by George Hansen (poor audio quality).Some of the scientific organizations, associations, and departments involved in all of some areas of this research:

Society for Psychical Research
American Society for Psychical Research
College of Psychic Studies
Institute of Noetic Sciences
International Association for Near-Death Studies
Koestler Parapsychology Unit
National Laboratory of Psychical Research
Parapsychological Association
Parapsychology Foundation
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab
Rhine Research Center  
North American Institute of Parapsychology
American Institute of Holistic Theology
Australian Institute of Parapsychological Research
Parapsychology Institute of America
American Association for the Advancement of Science

The first two have, to my knowledge, been the most prominent over a long period of time. The Parapsychology webpage at Wikipedia, which has many links (see bottom of page) to the various areas of study and to the important individuals over time. Naturally Wikipedia, although it's such a great resource, must play along with the mainstream game... "pseudoscience"... "subject rarely appears in mainstream science journals." That's the old game where, when someone or something is targeted for marginalization, they must be directly tied to loose links with negative images... and subtle words like "para," "pseudo," "unofficial," and "self-styled" are used. Obviously if an institution has been corrupted in some way, being "certified" means little intellectually. Also at the bottom is a list of "critics." Social engineering has it backwards: While science is ultimately finite; all human politics should be under constant review. Critics who incessantly defend the mainstream are most often cowards. You can tell a whole lot more about them by reviewing what they will not criticize, than what they do.

!!! SKEPTIKO !!! - Part 2

Skeptiko podcast: Alex Tsakiris with Dr. Rupert Sheldrake on 'How Controversial Science is Debated'

Featured Interview: Dr. Rupert Sheldrake. Is science news dominated by a few loud voices? On this first episode of Skeptiko we’ll explore how controversial science is debated, the current state of telepathy research, and ‘neo-Darwinism’.

Mystery schools of ancient Egypt, Greece, Babylonia, and India

There's has been much talk--probably since the advent of Harry Potter--about "mystery schools" in the ancient world, and even to the present. Mainstream academics seem to avoid the subject. Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Hermeticism, and Kabbalah--just to name a few--seem to have hoarded ancient knowledge over the many centuries of religious zeal. I believe that to be true, and justified... but often self-serving.

Sometimes the Druids are included within the mystery schools of ancient times, but somehow a shared-knowledge network stretching from Ireland to India thousands of years ago seem a bit far-fetched to me. I do think that ancient peoples had knowledge of how to use the Earth's energy in areas of anti-gravity, alchemy, sacred geometry, etc.

The Arctic Home in the Vedas: Part 17 - "Thule, Saturn, & an alternative explanation"

Thule, Saturn, & an alternative explanation: Part 6

This is part of a video produced by the scientists at The Thunderbolts Project
http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/
https://www.youtube.com/user/ThunderboltsProject

Wal Thornhill and Dave Talbott will each give two thought-provoking presentations at EU2014 Conference: All About Evidence, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, March 20 - 24, 2014. For more information on all the speakers start here:
http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2013/09/10/eu2014-home-page/

Here we offer David Talbott's first glimpses of celestial dramas in ancient times. Just a few thousand years ago a gathering of planets hung as towering forms in the ancient sky close to the earth, provoking spectacular electric discharge formations above our forebears.

Electric Universe (Wal Thornhill):

Essential Guide to the Electric Universe:
http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/eg-contents/

The "electric universe" theory is gaining momentum; however, so many of the biggest names in "mainstream science" have entire careers invested into ideas which may not be true ("gravity universe", "black holes", "big bang theory"). As a consequence, they almost always will not even listen or respond to any new ideas; and will depend on the establishments of the world to back them up. The 1994 book 'Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race'--by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson--documents clear evidence that mainstream archeology literally hides away in storage locations because they can't explain them away.

The idea that a "Teutonic homeland" may have existed on the North Pole seems too incredible to believe until one looks at all the evidence. I see much more evidence to support it than there is evidence to the contrary. As to whether they were somehow a superior people isn't really applicable to whether or not this homeland existed. There's much more basis for an ancient Mediterranean origin of civilization than any other race or culture.

Could there have been an Earth with no seasons in the not-too-distant past? We know that Antarctica was once a continent with a warm climate and thriving with life. If you watched the above video, then if true it could explain a Thule-like civilization.. or at least a Teutonic settlement... literally on the North Pole. Was a still viable star Saturn the sun in the northern sky? Were the dramatically nearby interacting planets "the gods?" This electric solar system of only a few thousand years ago would be the last piece of evidence to finally prove Bal Gangadhar Tilak's theory of "the Arctic home in the Vedas."

As far as the massive "Saturnian symbolism" in the world today, that goes beyond where I want to go here. Also, the presence of some people who were eight to nine feet tall--which is true since there are the remains to prove it--still are not numerically numerous enough to point-blank state that "these were the ancient Teutons." They may have been a different type of human being altogether. I do, however, believe that the original Teutons could have been six and a half to seven feet on average. There is at least one sub-Saharan tribe today which has an average height of close to seven feet. The average height of Scandinavians today is 5'11", which would work as far as a northern Europe of largely Teutonic and proto-European mixtures.
