Townsend was hyping Sidereal Radiation in 1948

[Jan Lundquist]

He spoke on the benefits of sidereal radiation, to the Optimist's Club of Van Nuys. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the- ... 130347661/

He was quoted by the Pittsburgh Press saying all fish feed at the same sidereal time. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the- ... 130347383/

He was photographed with Lake Securities executive J.F. Butterfield, for the Los Angeles Times article on the relationship w the stock market. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the- ... 130343009/

Curiously though, J. F. Butterfield's claim to fame was as one of the contributors to the 3 Stereoscopic film and later to AutoStereoscopy or improved holography. Did he know Bradford Shank? Did he have a history in the MEP film group at Wonderland? But more importantly, what was Townsend using the publicity to mask? He was

But look at the length of Townsend's middle finger! A certain person in this house swears that it is evidence that Townsend is an Alien-Human hybrid.

And, speaking of Lake States Securities:

But look at the length of Townsend's middle finger! A certain person in this house swears that it is evidence that Townsend is an Alien-Human hybrid.

There's two problems here.

1. Why is he pointing with the middle finger?

2. Why is his middle finger even there? It was supposedly lost in a machine accident in 1936.

I dunno, maybe the photo is just not clear enough... that could actually be the index finger, though if it is then the thumb is awkwardly placed.

And it seems possible that the ring-and-pinky finger on that hand are folded in in a way that makes it look like the middle finger could be missing.

Either way it's an odd f'ing photo.

I can see, now, that it is the pointer finger. But something about it still looks out of place. THit's a prosthesis or doctored photo.

But I do want to note that Mr. Butterfield's "Improved Holography" would have been cutting edge when it made it out to the commercial world.

On a tangential, but more interesting subject, I am reading W.B. Smyth's Gone Dark* again. It is his "I wuz there" counter to Moore/Berlitz. He rhapsodizes over what a very big deal it was when the Navy learned to bend light. "

Smyth has hidden quite a few Easter Eggs in his narrative. But he leaves a couple of biggies out in plain sight and I am probably going to blog about them this weekend.

Well, duh. What else was Townsend promoting with his compariion of humans to bees in the hive responding to unseen stimulae, but what we came to know as biorhythms. We were told, in the seventies that these were invented by Swedish airline pilots, but they seem to be a direct outgrowth of a study of sidereal times and cycles.
