CONSPIRACY THEORIES ( & more )

Antarctica

*this is all taken from twitter user @/NickHintonn*

Antarctica is one of the few places left on earth that remains virtually untouched by humans. There's no native population and it's not controlled by any particular country. It's difficult to get there, and even if you manage to get there, you're limited in where you can go.

There are 16 restricted areas in Antarctica, and these restrictions are enforced by the Antarctic Treaty. This treaty includes 12 countries. Odd that our world's leaders cannot agree on anything but they can agree on this ?

The Nazi's, who were known for their outlandish and otherworldly beliefs, also had an interests in the supposedly barren country. They explored the arctic region and even claimed a large plot of land there, which they named New Swabia. It was named after a place in Germany.

After WW2, Admiral E, Byrd led 4,000 military troops from the U.S., Britain, and Australia in what was basically an invasion of Antarctica. This was known as Operation Highjump. It resulted in several casualties and a missing catapult ship, the USS Pine Island.

Conspiracy theorists say this was because of a battle with a fleet of UFOs. While this is obviously unconfirmed, it's odd that right after the failed mission, Admiral Byrd declared it was imperative that we take immediate defense measures against this hostile region.

During this time he was hospitalized and not allowed to hold any more conferences. He died shortly after. According to his private journal, there was an entrance to a whole other world in Antarctica which he was ordered to remain silent about for the rest of his life.

Remember that the Nazis were obsessed with the supposedly superhuman Aryan race. The Aryans were said to come from Hyperborea, a legendary continent that existed beyond the poles.

About 60 years later, Antarctica had started to make the nightly news again. Rumors have started circulating that people have found the remnants of an ancient civilization. However, the pyramids being found have been "debunked" as being "mountains."

Antarctica has also had some strange guests recently. John Kerry (a well known Skull and Bones member), a famous Russian religious leader, and the former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, paid a visit a few years back.

Buzz ended up cutting his trip short and was medically evacuated. He supposedly tweeted this shortly after. It has since been deleted. Some people say the tweet was fake... but many people report having seen it in real time.

Does something evil lie beneath the ice ? According to H. P. Lovecraft, the horror writer who also had an obsession with the frozen wasteland, the sunken city of R'lyeh was located in the southern pacific ocean. It was said to imprison the dark deity Cthulhu.

This is mentioned because in 1997, the famous Bloop sound was recorded at almost the exact same spot. The sound resembled that of a living creature, but the source was a mystery because it would be far more powerful than the calls made by any animal on Earth.
