"The Secret Land" - Nazi Shangri la (video)

THE SECRET LAND (1:09:36)
In 1947 Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal sent a naval task force to Antarctic including Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Krusen and Admiral Byrd, called "Operation High Jump."

It was touted to be an expedition to find "coal deposits" and other valuable resources. But that was a cover story. In actuality, they were trying to find the Nazi (Aryan) underground base of in Neuschwabenlandt.

The Nazis had done a very detailed study of Antarctic and were alleged to have built an underground base there. (In this regard however, the pre-Nazi Aryans are said to have had an underground home under the ice in Antarctica for more than a million years).

The task force of over 40 ships included the flagship "Mount Olympus," the aircraft carrier "Philippine Sea," the seaplane tender "Pine Sea," the submarine "Senate," the destroyer "Bronson," the ice-breaker "Northwind," and other tanker and supply ships.

An armed contingent of 1400 sailors and three dogsled teams were also on board. The expedition was filmed by the Navy and brought to Hollywood to be made into a commercial film called "The Secret Land." It was narrated by Hollywood actor Robert Montgomery (Naval Reserve officer).

There were three divisions as part of Operation High Jump: one land group with tractors, explosives, and sufficient equipment to refurbish "Little America" and build an airstrip to land six R-4Ds (DC-3s) and two seaplane groups. The R4-Ds were fitted with jet-assist takeoff bottles (JATO) in order to takeoff from the short runway of the aircraft carrier "Philippine Sea."

They also were fitted with large skis for landing on the ice field prepared for them. The skis were specially fitted at three inches above the surface of the carrier deck. When landing on the ice at "Little America," the three inches of tire in contact with the snow and ice provided just enough and not too much drag for a smooth landing.

Admiral Byrd's team of six R4-Ds were fitted with the super secret "Trimetricon" spy cameras, and each plane was trailing a magnetometer. They flew over as much of the continent as they could in the short three month "summer" period, mapping and recording magnetic data.

Magnetometers show anomalies in the Earth's magnetism, namely "hollow" places under the surface ice or ground. On the last of many "mapping" flights where all six planes went out, each on certain preordained paths to film and take magnetometer readings, Admiral Byrd's plane returned THREE HOURS LATE.

It was stated that he had "lost an engine" and had had to throw everything overboard except the films themselves and the results of magnetometer readings in order to maintain altitude long enough to return to Little America.

This is most certainly the time when he met with representatives of the Hollow Earth Aryans and a contingent of Nazis. The task force came steaming back with their data, which was immediately classified "top secret." Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal retired and started to talk.

As a result, he was put in the Bethesda Naval Hospital psychiatric ward where he was prevented from seeing or communicating with anyone, including his wife. Before long, he was thrown out of a window while trying to hang himself with a bed sheet. It was ruled a suicide, and his case was closed.

What was he saying? He was telling people about the underground Aryan base.

Bhutan's Queen Mother on Elvis, Buddhism

Margherita Stancati (Wall Street Journal, online.wsj.com)

Bhutanese author and conservationist the Queen Mother, Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, keeps a grip on the secluded nation's rich traditions while embracing the future.

Bhutan, the tiny, secluded Himalayan Buddhist country nestled between China and India, has long been known as the "Forbidden Kingdom."

First-time visitors could be forgiven for thinking that Bhutan's roughly 700,000 people, including its royals, were living in a time warp. After all, the Internet arrived here before television -- and that was in the late 1990s.

Men typically wear medieval-looking robes, known as gho, and women don a kira, the female equivalent. In their free time, the country's elite regularly gather for archery tournaments, Bhutan's national and widely practiced sport.

So outsiders would be justified to expect the members of its much-revered royal family to be as inaccessible as the country may appear. Meet Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, and you'll soon realize you couldn't be further from the truth.

True, Queen Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck is a real conservationist when it comes to her country's Himalayan culture and Buddhist heritage. But she is also well-traveled, a literary enthusiast and loves Elvis Presley.

Queen Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck is one of four sisters who married Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Bhutan's former king, who abdicated in favor of his eldest son a few years ago.

Today, the queen mother, a youthful 55-year old, embodies her country's efforts to reap the benefits of modernity while protecting its traditions.

Queen Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, who was schooled in India's region of Darjeeling, is the patron of Thimphu's Mountain Echoes literary festival that brings together Indian and Bhutanese writers.
