In a paragraph detailing each of the recipients’ service, Ross is identified as a Coast Guard veteran, “now majoring in nursing and serving as an air force reservist in an aeromedical evacuation squadron”. The most established far-right publishers employing this model include Arktos, now based in Budapest, and Antelope Hill, whose principals were identified a year ago as married couple Vincent and Sarah Cucciara, along with Dmitri Loutsik, all based in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh valley.

After the action died down, the lull of the school and having to explain the complex magic was expected. Even as unbelievable as the beliefs of Symmes and Teed were, as the Hollow Earth theory grew into the 20th century, it began to take on an even more supernatural air. The Elder Race – One of the most controversial tales of inner-Earth-dwellers is the so-called “Shaver Mystery.” In 1945, Amazing Stories magazine under the editorship of Ray Palmer ran a story told by Richard Shaver, who claimed he had recently been the guest of what remained of an underground civilization. Although few really believed the story, and many suspect that Shaver may actually have been psychotic, Shaver always averred that his story was true.

The stakes are higher if one of them dies, right? The Guardian left a request for comment with the US Coast Guard public affairs office for the 13th district, which covers the Pacific north-west, but received no immediate response. While Shamballa the Lesser is an inner continent, its satellite colonies are smaller enclosed ecosystems located just beneath the Earth’s crust or discreetly within mountains. The many cataclysms and wars that took place on the surface drove these people underground. Regulation’, Tim O’Reilly says, ‘depends on disclosure – data required by the regulators to be published by […] firms in a format that makes it easy to analyze’. […] When data is provided in re-usable digital formats, the private sector can aid in ferreting out problems as well as building new services that provide consumer and citizen value. […] When government regulators focus on requiring disclosure, that lets private companies build services for consumers, and frees up more enforcement time to go after truly serious malefactors’ (O’Reilly, 2013). ↩Among most believers, the inside of the Hollow Earth is a lush tropical paradise that very likely houses an advanced race of humans/aliens/giants. No matter where they come from, they are generally characterized as peace-loving, and advanced far beyond those on the Earth’s surface. The perfect climate believed to exist in the Hollow Earth is said to produce animals and people that are larger and far more healthy than those on the surface. This inner world is sometimes called or associated with Agartha, a legendary city at the Earth’s core often tied to Eastern mysticism. Stoppani, A.

Marion had lots of ideas, but she was not well enough to sit in front of a computer all day. She wanted somebody she could trust and we thought I could be of some help. I thought that would essentially mean taking some dictation but it turned out that she wanted me to be more involved than that…She wanted to discuss the scenes and plots and what would be happening to the characters. My job was to flesh out the plots we discussed, and chip in a few ideas. The characters were probably the least well-done thing in this entire book. They were very under-developed and seemed more like inspiration taken a little too far than real special people. For example, Malik and Sarah seemed more like recreations of Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter than unique individuals themselves. The author also had a bad habit of adding new characters into the book without finishing his original ones. The antagonist was very well portrayed and might as well be one of the only characters that was complete and then some. I just wished that all the other characters, including the protagonist, were as well developed as her.These ‘political’, ‘economic’ and ‘scientific’ regulators function in many respects like the ‘archons’ – Greek ἄρχοντες: ‘rulers’, ‘regulators’ or ‘governors’ – to whom the late Howard Rasmussen (founding director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics at the Medical College of Georgia, former chief of Endocrinology & Metabolism at the School of Medicine at Yale University, and erstwhile Chair of the Biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania) refers in his study of Calcium and cyclic Adenosine Mono-Phosphate – cAMP – as synarchic messengers: ‘The term synarchy’, Rasmussen explains, ‘is based upon the Greek term archon’ (ἄρχων: ‘ruler’, ‘regulator’ or ‘governor’). ‘Because of the importance of their role in disseminating information’ – οικονομική, πολιτική και πνευματική-ιδεολογικό: economic, political and ideologico-intellectual – archons ‘were often employed in pairs to carry the same message or, under other circumstances, only part of the total message’ (Rasmussen, 1981: 2). In other words, an archon tended to work in conjunction and collusion with other archons ( archontes): i.e. in a syn-arch[on]ic manner. ‘Because [of this] analogy … the term synarchic regulation ( syn meaning ’together’) is proposed to categorize this system’ (1981:2).
