Ethan Haas was wrong


It has come to our attention that the blasphemy of Van Mantra is spreading across the globe.
His prophet Ethan Haas was nothing more than a raving lunatic long forgotten by history.
Mantra’s website EthanHaasWasRight is a foolish attempt to capture the short attention of today’s youth in an attempt to breath [sic] new life into the visions of a long dead fool.
We will do our best to counter this filth and steer humanity back to it’s [sic] proper course.”
Apart from spelling and punctuation inaccuracies suggesting that the writer is a foreigner or other alien, the website declares that Ethan Haas is the prophet of Van Mantra. Van Mantra would appear to be a ‘factional’ character, a hybridised half-fictive, half-factual entity who is involved in some way in an invasion. Although the year is two years out, this ‘ficlet’ gives the same ‘warning date’ (1st August) as the grainy video clip that is transmitted after the first puzzle of the sphere is solved. Is this a coincidence or deliberately misleading?



There are those – heathen believers and other satanically versed votaries amongst others – who would persuade us that Van Mantra is involved in an Alpha-Omega RPG or ARG.
The whole Van Mantra message is back up on YouTube - Ethan Hass Message - cloverfieldclues.com Van Mantra’s full message about Ethan Haas from ethanhaaswasright.com. Find out more info at cloverfieldclues.com – lots of screenshots of the movie plus all sorts of other great links and blogsites.

There’s nothing much there yet but don’t forget to visit CKROX.COM. It appears to be connected to the sphere and the ARG and maybe, just maybe the movie.





Was Abdul Alhazred as mad as Ethan Haas is?



Time will tell – or I will…

Ethan Haas Is Missing, Presumed ???

According to this blog,

“The writings of a mad man
How could the world be so enamored with a lunatic like Ethan Haas ?

It is almost not worth mentioning his writings but if only to discourage mankind from putting its faith in such “visions”. Read for yourself what this “great man” wrote:

The great war of the gods will come upon the earth; the fires and terror of their rule will return for a time, but the children of the gods may be thus prepared, themselves aware and powerful…they may stand along side the gods not as equals, but as allies, feared and ready.”

After Ethan Haas has been abducted (by grays for experimentation or United States government officials by extraordinary rendition or Cthulhu’s spawn for nameless rites) – if, of course, this is what transpires – then such debunking will have succeeded. Like Abdul Alhazred, who was also denigrated and diminished by the epithet ‘mad’, poor Ethan Haas will be called ‘fool’ and ‘lunatic’ rather than ‘sage’ and ‘visionary’. It is a sad indictment of our times that any honest-to-God and shame-the-Devil genuine prophet appearing hereabouts and just about now would be committed post haste to one of those ‘care homes’ of which H.P. Lovecraft was so terrified, his father and mother having both died in the same insane asylum and he himself subject to precarious mental health and ‘nervous collapses’.

But the truth may be even more sinister. The Ethan Haas Was Right website may or may not be a viral marketing site for the Cloverfield project.

But what if it uses subliminal marketing techniques – the brain washing methods of the grays, the CIA and Cthulhu cultists – what then?

Ethan Haas Is Coming…

…to a movie theatre near you? Or not, since JJ Abrams denies there is a link.

"The great cycle, the beginning and the end, turns just as the plans of the gods turn once again to the world of men.

And they will come upon the earth only after the skies rain down fire and the very earth itself is made to shake and the great cities of men fall into ruins. Their plans are set and their purpose is clear; they come for war."

When the dwelling-place of the ‘mad’ Arab, Abdul Alhazred was excavated in 1923 by Professor Bernard Houston and his team from Miskatonic University, it is known that they discovered the human skin leaved original of the ‘Kitab Al-Azif’ (literally, ‘The Book of the Howling of the Djinn’, that we know as the Necronomicon) Whether, by some eccentric and eclectic means, this dig disturbed the ‘dead but dreaming gods’ – Cthulhu and his ill-omened ilk – has not been revealed, except by those who have consequently been incarcerated in maximum security insane asylums before their untimely and bizarre deaths and, naturally, the angekoks of the Inuit (Esquimaux). Perhaps the Necronomicon was chanted aloud…

Just as the Tomb of Tutankhamun (also excavated in 1923) was cursed, so was the Abode of Alhazred, particularly so since both met violent ends – Tutankhamun’s skull displays damage and Alhazred was eaten alive by an invisible devil-beast.

The following quotation is from the Necronomicon and is similar in tone to the that from the Ethan Haas Was Wrong website:

‘…Iä! Shub-Niggurath! As a foulness shall ye know Them. Their hand is at your throats, yet ye see Them not; and Their habitation is even one with your guarded threshold. Yog-Sothoth is the key to the gate, whereby the spheres meet. Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now. After summer is winter, and after winter summer. They wait patient and potent, for here shall They rule again.’ Mentally translated by Dr. Henry Armitage, looking over the shoulder of Wilbur Whateley in the Library of Miskatonic University, from the Latin version of Olaus Wormius, as printed in Spain in the seventeenth century.

Of course, one person’s god is another’s extra-terrestrial intelligence…

Ethan Haas Was Right Or Wrong (Or Neither)

This wildly weird and wackily wonderful website game was mentioned in Chris Perridas’ Zoetrope Forum as follows:

“…google ‘Ethan Haas’. There are two new viral sites for the new JJ Abrams project, and some of the names thrown around on the sites, including Mezin, Alhazred, and references to a ‘Mad’ prophet lead me (and several bloggers) to believe this project has something to do with Lovecraft’s Old Ones. (JJ Abrams is responsible for, amongst other work, the TV series, ‘Lost’ (this fansite is ironically called Lost-TV).

The trailers put out on YouTube have been removed due to a Paramount Pictures problem. These trailers were originally shown with Paramount’s and DreamWorks’ Transformers: The Movie.

Play the frustrating game on one of the viral sites here:

http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com/The other sites are:

http://ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com/

and http://www.1-18-08.com/ which has two photographs from the future (taken on 18th January 2008, the release date of the movie)

The game may or may not be connected to an as yet unnamed unreleased movie (codenamed Cloverfield). This report suggests that the two are connected and that they and other stuff are part of an ongoing viral marketing campaign. Everything in the known universe about Cloverfield needs to be explored (via warp drive or foldspace). But this blog states that the game and movie are unconnected.

Check out a review and help, http://ethanhaas.livejournal.com/ mentions petting Cthulhu and asks what happens to us on 1st August, then there’s 54312 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! (but theinsanecultist’s photos are mainly of cats), the MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/ethanhaaswasright, there’s scifighter, http://ethanhaas.org/, the e-mail address, the countdown on parasitemovie.com (a.k.a. cloverfield) plus stuff on blog the internet dot com.

The Mezin referred to may or may not be connected to this site. Project Serpo (and its connections to Roswell) would also appear to be linked to the movie, its codename and maybe the alternate reality game – but certainly to Cthulhu. Check out ‘Who is Ethan Haas, And What Is Cloverfield?’
There is more to come.
The end of something or other is nigh.

Cthulhu of the Caribbean?

Has anyone else noticed that Cthulhu and Davy Jones (as played by Bill Nighy in Walt Disney’s production Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006) is a dead ringer for Cthulhu or one of his spawn? Even Davy’s hat looks like Cthulhu’s wings.
Davy Jones lives at the bottom of the sea in Davy Jones’ Locker and is a nickname of the devil of the seas (Devil Jonah) since he kidnaps sailors and drowns them as they join him in his watery abode. Tobias Smollet‘s The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle (1751) comments, “This same Davy Jones, according to the mythology of sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep....”. As an ardent Anglophile and avid reader (at his death he had over 1500 books in his library), it is quite possible that Lovecraft was familiar with Smollett’s works.

Cthulhu lives – “dead but dreaming” – in R’lyeh, a sunken city deep under the Pacific Ocean in the middle of one of the biggest empty regions of water on the planet. Lovecraft describes Cthulhu as having an “awful squid-head with writhing feelers” (a very apt description of Davy Jones in the movie).

According to Wikipedia, “…Lovecraft said that R’lyeh is located at 47°9′S, 126°43′W in the southern Pacific Ocean.[4] August Derleth, however, placed R’lyeh at 49°51′S, 128°34′W in his own writings.[5] Both locations are close to the Pacific pole of inaccessibility, the point in the ocean farthest from any land. Derleth’s coordinates place the city approximately 5100 nautical miles (5900 statute miles or 9500 kilometers), or about ten days journey for a fast ship, from Pohnpei (Ponape), an actual island of the area. Ponape also plays a part in the Cthulhu Mythos as the place where the “Ponape Scripture“, a text describing Cthulhu, was found.

In summer 1997, the U. S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s autonomous hydrophone array in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean repeatedly recorded a peculiar sound of a nature suggesting its biological origin. Yet, the sound’s amplitude was too large to be produced by any known animal species, and its source remains a mystery. According to NOAA, the readings yield a general location of the sound’s source “near 50° S 100° W“. The sound was given the name “Bloop“.

Lovecraft Stories Interactive Multimedia CD-ROM

Hyperlinked Fantasy, Horror & Science Fiction Anthology

I have just published the following which I hope will be of interest:

The Lovecraft Cosmos Collection™ I

Welcome to the worlds of Howard Phillips Lovecraft!

The dreams and the drugs; the witchcraft and the wormholes; the aliens and their alarming deities; the mundane world where the anomalistic occurs quite normally – this, and much more, oozed from the pen of one of the most influential fantasy, horror and science fiction writers of the 20th century. Stephen King has said of him, “He struck with the most force, and I still think, for all his shortcomings, he is the best writer of horror fiction that America has yet produced.”

Creator of Arkham and Cthulhu, Lovecraft was the quintessential outsider who believed that, “…common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large” and that, “The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”

The digital equivalent of The Daily Prophet, and even more so of The Quibbler, in the Harry Potter books and films, each story is an experience that helps to tell itself though links. The format of this experience is neotext – a totally new multimedia/ hypermedia interactive version of each story – fully illustrated, and with hyperlinks to websites featuring word definitions, background material, sound effects and music, and, videos. Every link has been chosen to enrich the reading of the story and each story has additional ‘Links and Resources’ pages where the themes of the story and further background can be explored via the net. It has also been extensively annotated with footnotes and endnotes providing additional information and links.

This collection comprises five Lovecraft stories – Azathoth, Dagon, The Call of Cthulhu, The Other Gods and The Thing on the Doorstep – as well as two ‘Editor’s Extras’ – Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth and Lovecraftian Labyrinthine Linkages (a list of additional links to all things Lovecraftian.

Each Lovecraft Cosmos Collection™ is normally supplied via CD in the form of PDFs (open with free Adobe Acrobat Reader) with payment processing via PayPal.

Let Sleeping Gods Lie

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

In the Lovecraft Cosmos it does not behoove any fool to awaken, annoy or otherwise disturb the gods.

Apart from the undesirable and injudicious arousal of Cthulhu in “The Call of Cthulhu”, Bokrug – the Great Water Lizard god was much displeased when the men of Sarnath slaughtered the inhabitants of Ib who were,

“…in hue as green as the lake and the mists that rise above it....[T]hey had bulging eyes, pouting, flabby lips, and curious ears, and were without voice.”
– Wikipedia entry “The Doom That Came To Sarnath”

In “The Curse of Yig” Audrey Davis incurs the anger of the snake-god Yig when she kills some of his children – deadly rattlers! Other characters descend into insanity merely through the worship of his terrifying deities.

Unsurprisingly, given Lovecraft’s passion for the classical, his gods’ behaviour (even though they are alien and monstrous in appearance) is very similar to that of Ancient Greece’s Olympians. Prometheus and Ixion were punished by Zeus for their amatory adventures, Athena punished Ajax for the ‘rape’ of Cassandra and the ‘wrath of heaven’ was visited upon other mortals by the gods.
