that old green phosphor feel

You can't sift through the kind of stuff I've been sifting through for the past couple years without finding at least some stuff like this. The clip below is from a page I just came across while looking for Bulwer-Lytton's Zanoni on The Internet Sacred Text Archive. This file is called UFO's and the Occult Reich, and I encourage you to go read it there instead of here, though even then you won't get the full sense of it. Because here's the thing: unless the page is entirely black and the modem is hiccuping at 1200 baud and all the lights are out and there's maybe someone lurking outside trying to get in (you're too stoned to be sure), it's just not possible to reproduce the feeling.

Schauberger and his son lived in the United States for a short time after the war, where he was reported to be working on a top secret UFO project in Texas for the US Government. Reports of Aryan looking saucer pilots are many. Long haired blond folks that speak German. It is interesting to note that the so-called "venusian" saucer design of contactees all look like German saucer designs. The Thule Society is still alive in the minds of neo-Nazi (Fourth Reich) occultists. There is a booklet going around that reports to be the secret log of Admiral Richard Byrd. In 1978, copies were sent out by the Hollow Earth Research Society in Ontario, Canada. Ivan Boyes, its director, claims that "after the war, the allies discovered that over 2,000 scientists from Germany and Italy had vanished along with almost a million people to the Land beyond the pole. This is apparently what Admiral Byrd's expedition was all about. To hunt them down. The domain of the Arianni. The "Flugelrads" (wingwheels) were noted in the secret log as being sent to the surface world to investigate the first nuclear explosions. These were the model T's of the German saucer design. Do we have a myth in the making? So ... Admiral Byrd goes back and tells the Pentagon and the President what he has seen. They order him to be silent. It seems that the inner earth cavern civilizations and the lands inside the earth have been a part of the occult/military secret for a long time.
