Matinee of the Living Dead

Sixty years of sorcerous entrainment have ravaged the hearts, minds and bodies of the American populace. It's been a long march, one that is now reaching its destination. 

Here's another example of where it all began...

Sixty Years of Sorcery: MK-OFTEN's Lasting Legacy

Some researchers have argued that while presenting itself as another drug study program, MK-OFTEN was in fact a campaign to weaponize the occult. 

Winona, Interrupted: Little Girl Lost

Or, "Open Season on Kids in the Predators' Paradise of Post-Hippie California"...

What Did They Do to the Ultimate 90s It Girl?

Winona Ryder was THE Nineties It Girl. She ruled the hearts and minds of GenXers across the world (guilty) - and dated a string of A-list rock and movie stars - only to fall from grace in the hardest way at the dawn of the new millennium.

Secret Sun Video Mystery Hour: American Gladio

This month we have Dana of the must-watch Rotting Jewels YouTube channel. Dana is a frighteningly meticulous researcher and is looking into the nexus of spookery and culture creation that will be very familiar to longtime Secret Sun readers. 

Dig in.

Everything New is Old Again

  

The Stranger Things Quadragennial wraps up with a specially-curated playlist of songs hitting the airwaves in November of 1983.

Check out a special sampling of music videos here.

And the movies of the month that broke reality.

 

And if you're new to all this, be sure to read up on how 1983 was the year that broke reality. I don't know how or why the Duffer Brothers chose that year, but believe me - they chose well.

Something came through the veil in 1983, and we're just now beginning to grasp the enormity of it. Much of what is now being reaped - on a worldwide scale - was first sown forty years ago.

Syncher Things: Must Be a Clash, There's No Alternative

There’s a general consensus that World War One and World War Two weren’t really different wars, but one long war with a twenty-one year armistice. 

Stranger Things Quadragennial: The Music that Broke Reality

 

The early Eighties really were as magical and awesome as you’ve been led to believe, even if the seeds of our future heartaches were being planted in the dark. Me, I was 17 in November of 1983, and it’s remained a lost mystical land I like to escape to when the stars are just right ever since. 

SecretSun DogDay ReRun: The Year that Broke Reality

 

That helmet looks vaguely Kirbyesque

1983 hovers like a wraith over all of my work and I've never been quite sure why. 

Forty Years in the Wilderness of the Unreal

They say History repeats, first as tragedy and then as farce. But how exactly does that work when Reality itself is irreparably broken?

Stranger Things 4 Livestream

Depressed the holiday's over? Don't be: we'll be capping off the long weekend tonight (July 4th) at 10 PM ET with a deep dive into the unspoken subtexts of Stranger Things 4...

Stranger Things Deep Dive Sizzle Reel

We took a very deep dive on Stranger Things and the real-life horrors lurking behind it during a Secret Sun Institute livestream last night. There's more to come, because to understand where we are today, we need to understand how it all began. 

Stranger Things Deep Dive Livestream

Come join us for an epic deep dive on the disturbing history (and unsettling future) behind the Stranger Things phenomenon. There's a lot more going on with this series besides monsters, mind control and Eighties nostalgia.

Sirens, Shimmers and Even Stranger Things

She turned thirteen on...

I'm still in the middle of my Stranger Things 4 watch but I can say definitively that it's leagues above the wretched third season, wherein the writers tried to repurpose the franchise as a comedy and failed like very few things have failed in all of human history. 

1983: The Year That Broke Reality

That helmet looks vaguely Kirbyesque

1983 hovers like a wraith over all of my work and I've never been quite sure why. All I know is that I sensed something definitively change in the spring and summer of that year, even if those changes have only become apparent in the past few years. 

But all I can say for sure is that something somehow seemed to have entered our world from somewhere else.

 

UFOs? More like UF-NO's

Around 2011 or so I coined Knowles' Law on UFOs: "The probability that a UFO story is a deliberate hoax is correlative to the amount of mainstream media coverage it receives."

I think this is a very useful law to keep in mind these days.

MKUltraterrestrial 3.0

A brain, being washed

As the apocalyptic process fires up back to a boil in the dark months of April and May, it's only fitting that the Great Work MKULTRA3.0 psychedelic research is heating up as well. I'm sure Secret Sun regulars (and irregulars) know my take on what the true goal of this program is, and if not, check out my most recent appearance on The Higherside Chats.

I Want to Get High, So High(erside).

  

Hey, Carlwood-man, hey, what you say? Gimme some of your bandwidth. Hey.

X-Files: Old Black Oil, Keep on Rolling

Things are very, very hectic here but I didn't want to keep the Sunsters without some fresh grist for their mills. 

"Mouse Kontrol Ultra": Adam Curtis, Massive Attack & the Sibyl

Massive Attack onstage in Manchester

2019 seems to be recognized as a pivotal year of some kind by a number of different observers so I guess it's appropriate that Massive Attack is taking its Mezzanine 21st Anniversary extravaganza out on the road, along with MK-Ultra's own Adam Curtis furnishing the visuals.
