Movie Review: V/H/S 2 and the Horror Panopticon
We’re in the Golden Age of the found footage genre. In the empire of the panopticon, horror movies thrive off 24/7 street surveillance, surgical cameras, security cameras, microscopic cameras, smartphones, webcams, etc. We live in a hunted, stalked society, consumed and regurgitated like a freshly turned zombie’s black bile. Cameras are everywhere–watching our carefully scripted [...]

Life in the Matrix: New Evidence Supports the Simulation Theory
Nick Bostrom has become somewhat of a cult celebrity in fringe circles for his authorship of the Simulation Theory.

Mysterious Vertical Structure Detected In Center of Nearby Black Hole

In fact, it’s hard to even conjure alien images outside the context of their monumental starships soaring through the solar system, or their flying saucers hovering above the White House lawn. But it just may be that aliens have no need for one of the most [...]
Taking Back ‘Paranormal’
The Ghost Diaries was created under a fairly simple driving mantra: 96% of the universe is unknown, and that’s pretty cool. As citizens of the free world, most of us have grown up in a consumer vacuum, brainwashed from birth to think monsters aren’t real and the world is largely understood. The news from the [...]

But between NASA and Google Earth there have been some images captured that cannot be explained. Here they are, the most mysterious satellite images ever [...]

One of the most influential conspiracy theorists of the 20th century, Cooper was shot dead at his Eager, Arizona home in 2001 after years of anti-government activism. His seminal book Behold a Pale Horse has recently experienced [...]
