Members,
Here is a little piece from the Book of Marshall B. Gardner, a hollow
Earther from yesteryear, and a man who did a lot to give the hollow Earth
theory its modern start, and a man who gave very good justification to the
theory. He basically organized and interpreted the results of all the Arctic
exploration up to that time and interpreted it very well according to the
hollow Earth ( HE ) perspective.
Gardner relates how it was the Lord Barrington was one of the first to
assert that the Pole was attainable, or nearly so, by sea, and there was, at
least at times, open polar seas in the vicinity. This brought on the later
exploration to the area, which exposed the world to the Arctic anomalies,
such as Arctic warming, which are so suggestive of the HE.
Here is Gardner:
"At that time, too, it was the generally perceived notion that there was a
perpetual barrier of ice whose boundries corresponded more or less to a
latitude of 80 ½ degrees and that any discovery of the regions north of that
would have to be made by a sort of wind-propelled sled, a mechanism actually
used for traveling over the ice by the Dutch.
HIS REPORT TO THE ROYAL SOCIETY
This idea Barrington combatted. He recalled to the Royal Society that as
early as 1663 its secretary at that time had examined a traveler lately
returned from Greenland, and that this traveler had told of a Hollander
captain who claimed that he had come within half a degree of the pole, and
corroborated it by showing his journal, the entries entries being attested
by his mate. Now, in view of later explorations it does not matter just how
accurate that sailor was-the point is simply that even in those early days
it was possible to get much nearer the pole than was supposed at the time,
and simply for the reason that the water was open as one went north.
But Barrington has instance after instance of the same kind. He mentions in
particualr two Hollander whalers who- in the seventeenth century- sailed to
89 degrees and found no ice but " a free and open sea." ( the pole is at
90* )."
Here is another piece from his book about open polar seas:
OPEN WATER AND WARMER
Now here is testimony of the most unimpeachable character and it is as plain
as it is unimpeachable. There is no misunderstanding it. We find Greely ten
degrees farther north than Lieutenant Ray, finding not merelv that the winds
and waters were warmer than further south but that this warmth was so
constant that the ground thawed to a depth of thirty feet. We find that
whenever water flowed from the north pole it was warmer than when it flowed
from the south. We find that there is no sea of " ancient ice " as Nares and
explorers before him thought but that there is an open polar basin with
strong currents. Now if that open water that stopped Greely were only a
small sea that did not extend very far, there would be no such currents in
it as are described above. Those currents testify to the fact that here is a
sea which does extend to the northern regions. Of course Greely could not
imagine how those warm currents could come from the north and he could not
account for the strong currents in the sea. But our reader, who remembers
the conformation of the polar regions, can easily see how these things would
be. The water insid the polar orifices, warmed by the inner sun, would
naturally form a very strong current as it met the cooler waters of the
outside polar regions. Quite as naturally that water would keep clear from
ice the great polar sea. Ice from the south could only come up to a certain
point, the point where Greely and other discoverers found " open water ",
and after that the sea would get warmer and warmer. It is interesting to
note that one of the people interviewed in regard to the Greely discoveries
at the same time as the other speeches and interviews were made, which we
have quoted, said that further Arctic exploration had better be postponed
until air ships could be built with which to undertake it. Well, at the time
that may not have sounded like a practical suggestion, but it is now a thing
of the very near future. And we shall see then just what one would expect
from the observations made by Greely. For there is only one possible
explanation for them and that is the explanation given in this book."
I know that some of the members have already been exposed to some of this,
but it doesn't hurt to hear it again, the logic of the arguments only
becomes reinforced. Some of the new people, and there are a lot of them,
need to get some orientation.
Gardner's book, which I highly recommend, is called A JOURNEY TO THE
EARTH'S INTERIOR. It is available online, probably as a used book. It used to be sold by Health Research, but they closed up shopp because the owner passed away.
