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.

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.

Regarding the finger it's his left hand alright but we don't know at what level the amputation of the second finger (index finger) was carried out (see p.159 of the book). He might indeed have used a prosthesis for the photo shot. On the photo p.376, which is shown on the back cover in much more detail, not much of the index finger seems to be missing, maybe just the end phalanx.

Now to Sidereal Radiation: I came across an article by Dr. Takaaki Musha (JBIS, Vol.61,pp 379-384,2008), EXPLANATION OF DYNAMICAL BIEFELD-BROWN
EFFECT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF ZPF FIELD. The HONDA R&D Institute carried out experiments with a HV capacitor and the results are shown in fig. 4 and show a considerable diurnal variation.

There are 2 remarks to make: 1. no explanation for the fluctuations is given. 2. no explanation is given why they measured every few hours.

Why would somebody repeat the same measurement over a whole day? They must have known about the effect and confirmed it but did not want to talk about it.
I tried to contact Dr. Musha on his Gmail address. Return to sender, address unknown, no such number, no such zone.

But here we have independent corroboration and the article shows that people are now looking into zero point effects or vacuum polarisation.
The equations show a force imbalance in highly charged capacitors and 2 independent sources came to roughly the same equation.
Very interesting!

Peter Fismer, I humbly apologize for taking soooo long to approve your post.

No excuses.

Actually, 'sidereal radiation' (whatever the hell Brown meant by that) has been on my mind of late so the input is interesting, useful and appreciated.

I hope discussion will pick up here, which will compel me to logon more often and see new post approval requests in a more timely manner.

Thanks,

I am glad this oversight is on your shoulders, Paul. I thought I had overlooked your post, Peter, and was appalled to have left you hanging for so long.

I think Townsend's amputation was behind the knuckle. If that is a prosthesis, it must have been a rush job, with no time for measurements. And if it is an actual finger, it is a strange looking one. But it appears to me almost as if Townsend is making an ostentatious display of a supposedly missing finger, and I wonder who his imagined audience was.

Good questions on the choice of measurement cycles

Townsend set his electrometer on 20 minute sampling schedules. I saw, somewhere recently, probably in my newspaper clipping collection, that he later said he had built 29 versions of his device. I presume they all used the same cycles, but did they all use the same starting point?

Based on department correspondence from 1943, I am certain that one of them was in use by the USN Communications Intelligence in WWII. This may have been the one, likely to have been at the University of Pennsylvania or the Franklin Institute, that Townsend was directed to transfer from Phildelphia to the Navy.

By the time COMINT was becoming a thing, it was well known that certain atmospheric weather conditions could either weak havoc with, or empower radio signals. Where these conditions were known and effects understood, it was possible to calculate and distribute the compensatory transmission/reception factors to all subordinate radio intercept stations.

It is feasible that the effect of galactic cycles/sidereal radiation) was also used as a factor in those calculations. I think it also played a factor, later, in missile engineering, as It was "insider" whispered, back in the seventies, that Raytheon missile engineers kept "astrological clocks" at their desks. No one grokked sidereal time, back then so astrological clocks it was.

Writing about the seventies reminds me of the works of Carlos Castaneda who chronicled his experiences with his indigenous shamanic teacher, "Don Juan." Castaneda was taught to become are of various "power spots" in the vast desert of Northern Mexico, In another paradigm, perhaps, these would be points where certain ley lines meet.

How very tricky it would be to locate those coordinates in a spinning, tilting orb of energy, but how very useful it would be to be able to do so. And, with that thought, my brain breaks down completely.
