Today we get a look into the mysterious death of Elisa Lam who went missing on January 31, 2013. You may remember the news reports of the 21-year-old Canadian student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver whose body was known to be found weeks later inside a water tank atop the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles on February 19, 2013. So, she went missing on January 31, and her body was reportedly found February 19. Maintenance workers at the Cecil Hotel discovered the body when investigating complaints from guests about the low water pressure. On February 21, two days after her body was found, the coroner’s office reported that they had found her death to be an accidental drowning, with bipolar disorder as a significant factor. The news of her disappearance was reported world wide and interest increased a week before her body’s discovery when the LAPD released a 4 minute video recovered from an elevator security camera showing a person known to be Elisa Lam behaving very strangely. The elevator video was posted to many sources online and view counts are in the tens of millions. However, the video is an artifact in itself with an indiscernible time stamp and some also claim the video speed is altered. There is still very little information regarding the circumstances of Elisa Lam’s death. There are many unresolved issues, loose ends, unexplainable coincidences, and odd connections. For example, the unusual similarity to the 2005 film Dark Water a remake of the 2002 Japanese film by the same name. The 2002 film includes a problematic elevator and discolored water that gushes from the building’s faucets and that eventually leads to the discovery of a young girl drowned in building’s water tank. There are other films that were inspired by Lam’s case and a major one currently in production titled The Bringing by Sony Pictures.

Guest – John Lordan actor, writer, director and performer. His work can be found at lordanarts.com. He’s posted several videos on his youtube channel GeekenDorx discussing the Elisa Lam case. He is continuing the investigation in collaboration with others online who are concerned about the case. Without getting too deep into the esoteric realm of ritual murder and numerology, John focuses on stripping away the implausible and then evaluating the remaining facts.

We connect back to the shows about Unidentified Flying Objects, specifically in the state of New York. According to our guest Cheryl Costa, New York state’s UFO sightings account for nearly 5 percent of the world’s sightings. Cheryl is currently working on a feature story exploring UFO sighting data compiled over a 14 year span. We talk about that and crosscheck some of that information with variables such as nuclear stations, bodies of water and population density.

Guest – Cheryl Costa, journalist, playwright and a Vietnam veteran. She began her weekly column New York Skies the Syracuse New Times in 2013 and has been a presenter at the annual International UFO Congress Conferences.

We return to the topic of etheric warriors, which is also the name of website by Don and Carol Croft. Don Croft and traveling partner Francisco have recently returned from an enduring trip to Florida by land and then to Central America by sea. They traveled in 12 hour shifts in a small open boat along the Caribbean coast. Not many would attempt this kind of journey. We get an idea of what it was like to be exposed to the elements, harassed by the US Coast Guard and the rare moments of seeing into the etheric. Here is the first part of the video documentation. In past interviews with Don and Carol, we spoke about the quiet build up of microwave antenna towers, radar domes and multiple ionospheric heater sites. Our environment has been saturated with electromagnetic and microwave smog that interfere with the base frequency of biological life on this planet. To briefly review and connect the past shows on this topic, in June 2012, Dr Konstantin Korotkov was on the show confirming that orgone energy can be measured using GDV cameras that he helped develop.

We’ve also examined in a 3 part series, orgone energy as it relates to the man who discovered it, research physician and scientist Wilhelm Reich. Orgone energy has been described as a biological energy in living substances that can coalesce to create organization on all scales, within the microscopic it’s called bions, and within the macroscopic structures, orgone energy would be clouds, and to even larger forms such as galaxies. In the last decade, the science and interpretation of orgone has branched out into various groups and has taken the form as a global effort of people crafting their own pieces of orgonite made from crystals, metallic shavings and resin. There’s a formula to this including modifying Reich’s work in creating tower busters. Their group has been infiltrated by government agents in the past and since then, Don has screened the members of the forum and created an amazing online collaboration of information from individuals around the world working with orgonite, and or etheric energy. Don makes its clear that this is all subjective, this is just his experience, he’s not trying to prove anything. He says a lot of people read the forum as entertainment and that’s fine too. ———————————————————————

Back we go into the fringe. We’re going to talk about the concept of fake planes. The idea of fake planes such as a hologram or post production TV manipulation emerged in the mainstream public consciousness after the attacks on September 11, 2001. A year or so later, there was increase in those observing chemtrails or jet aircraft leaving persistent jet contrails that spread out into man-made clouds. A topic that this show In Other News covered in depth for many years. That artificial cloud cover occludes the Sun, modifies weather and consequently reduces the process of photosynthesis among other problems down here at the surface. Strange anomalies were caught on film such as morphing into odd shapes and unexplained reflections. Are these anomalies simply artifacts of distance and an atmosphere filled with particulates? When you stop and think about it, the fake plane topic can be the lynchpin to the broader discussions of UFO disclosure, free energy, the 911 planes, and chemtrails to name a few. It’s an area that few people speak about publicly. Past guest Alison Kruse discussed her experiences filming aircraft at night that reconfigured their light arrangements to mimic jets.

Guest – Jennifer OBrien, is a mother of 4 children living in Toronto, Canada. She has witnessed and filmed the so-called fake planes during the day, twilight and at night. As the late John Keel wrote in Our Haunted Planet – There are things on this planet and around it that are far beyond anything you can imagine. To recognize the full nature of the phenomenon you must carefully study all of the parts. Witchcraft, Voodoo, Spiritualism and Black Magic are as important as “little green men” and bilious giants with glowing green eyes. Once you being to understand how the many parts dovetail together you will discover that the “invisible world” has exercised a peculiar influence over the affairs of men. This is the last In Other News show at this time Monday 10PM on WBAI. The new time is now Friday 3AM.

In this show, we are going into detail about the power of the belief system known as Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard, the creator of Scientology was born in March 1911, and passed January 1986. Early in his writing career, he was known for his science fiction and fantasy stories. At some point later, Hubbard outlined a metaphysical self help system called Dianetics. These concepts evolved into a set of rituals and eventually became a foundation for the Church of Scientology. The church was established in 1954. It was later recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States. Scientology branched out around the world, to South Africa, Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Today the Church of Scientology continues to launch massive campaigns and recruit new members while amassing billions. When you hear about Scientology in the mainstream media, it’s usually when a celebrity disconnects from the church, or when a former member is being stalked, and harassed by the church for leaving.

Guest – Tony Ortega has been writing about it since 1995 and is the executive editor of the Raw Story and formerly the editor of the Village Voice. Tony jokingly calls his website the Underground Bunker. It can be found at TonyOrtega.org. We get a fascinating insight into the belief systems within Scientology and talk about the HBO film by Oscar winner Alex Gibney called Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. The film is based on Lawrence Wright’s book Going Clear, Hollywood and the Prison of Belief.
