Thomas P. Fusco ~ Behind the Cosmic Veil

Interview aired on October 5th, 2012:

My GUEST tonight is THOMAS P. FUSCO author of “Behind the Cosmic Veil”.

Throughout modern history, humanity has made remarkable strides toward unraveling the secrets of the universe. Yet in spite of these impressive scientific achievements, certain fundamental mysteries continue to evade both our powers of reason and our modern physics. Among these are:

– Is there a Divine Order within the cosmos?
– What are the causes behind the bizarre events known as the paranormal?
– Are anti-gravity, time travel and teleportation possible, or are they just food for fantasy?
– How was matter created “from the void?”
– Is there a gateway to a higher dimension, and what does it look like?
– Is dark matter real, and why can’t we see it?
– How did life originate on earth?
– Could UFOs really be advanced spacecraft?
– And how does religion and spirituality fit into all this?

Questions like these have long confounded scientists, philosophers, and ecclesiastics alike. Efforts to solve these riddles have often suffered from too narrow a focus, such as those that attempt to describe telepathy or consciousness in terms of quantum theory while overlooking the vast body of other unexplained phenomena. None have led us to a single cosmological framework that can accommodate the wealth of scientific anomalies, spiritual experiences and paranormal events that are observed and recorded.

My Critique of the Olympic Opening Ceremony

0728-OLY-openingI thought I’d put my 2 cents in on the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. Well, being of British descent myself, I have to say I was very disappointed with Danny Boyle’s concept of British culture. The ceremony opens with this Hobbit-looking country-scene of milk-maids and peasants, and then suddenly it’s immediately replaced with this hideous display of smoke stacks, sweaty men slaving under grinding wheels and furnaces, while elite gentlemen strut about in top hats & bowlers proud of turning England into a pit of black soot, child labor, and debtor’s prison. Of course, me English mum defends this scene by saying Britain’s Industrial Revolution brought us into the modern times. Yeah, mom, pollution is something to be proud of. As a matter of fact, the pollution was so bad in the Midlands from coal mines and steel mills the area was called the “Black Country.” I wonder what Charles Dickens would have to say about his 19th century Industrial Age? Then you had actor Kenneth Branagh dressed up as Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but he looked more like a stunted Abe Lincoln. And, let me not forget the stinking smoke of sulfur engulfing the stadium. What the hell was Boyle thinking? A descent into hell?

Next, the scene switches to dozens of nurses and hospital beds filled with children. What da’heck was that all about? When you think of England do you think of sick children? I hope not. And, if there wasn’t a narrator I wouldn’t know what was going on. Now, the children are tucked into their beds and are awaken by images of a nightmare. Oh, what a lovely idea (snark). The only saving grace of that episode was watching dozens of Mary Poppins descending from the sky.

Next is a confusing scene starring two teen actors from some obscure TV show that nobody except Brits would even know about —I believe the narrator said it had something to do with the internet and texting on iphones, like that has anything to do with the UK. Supposedly, Boyle was trying to show British pop music from the 60s 70s 80s etc., but I didn’t get it. The Brits were best known for the British Invasion of the 60s with the arrival of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, & the Yardbirds, etc., and in fashion it was the mini-skirts, Carnaby Street, and the Mod Look of Vidal Sassoon, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, and also films starring Julie Christie, Michael Caine, and anyone in the Lyngrave clan. Anything that came after these folks is just residue.

If I could suggest how to do the Opening Ceremony, I’d have done a more up-lifting pageantry. Perhaps I’d start with Stonehenge. Can you imagine what you could do with an ancient artifact like that? Dancing naked pagans, a light show with the sun aligning between the monuments! How about King Arthur and his knights? Avalon? And, if they want magic & wizards, instead of Harry Potter demons, lets have Merlin & Morgan la Frey materialize in a hologram. There could be a dramatic moment where Excalibur is pulled from a stone. Or, we could have Knights jostling, or riding on horses draped in elaborate armor…the costume design would be marvelous. What about Henry the 8th and all his wives…followed by an executioner with an axe? (I’m joking, that might be too snarky). How about Monty Python? Boadicea fighting the Roman invaders? Or, all the great British literature like Peter Pan & Wendy? We could have them fly through the stadium, or Alice in Wonderland (instead of all those stupid puppets lets turn the stage into a Wonderland, or a Neverland). Or, Charles Dickens, or HG Wells? (I’m surprised Boyle didn’t do an alien invasion scene, or the Black Plague). There is so much in British history Boyle could have chosen from that the rest of the world would immediately recognize. But, no, his interpretation of Britain are these dark obscure references that must only mean something to him.

I’ll end on a positive note: The lighting of the Olympic Torch was impressive, except for one major flaw. The cauldron was lit in the pit of the stadium; its supposed to be up high where it can be seen outside from afar. Didn’t Boyle consult with anyone? The music was nice; I did like the Blue Man-like drumming from the deaf composer Lloyd Coleman. Oh yes, & the fireworks were pretty.

Voodoo/Hoodoo Root Doctor

This interview is from June 26th, 2006. It is one of my first podcast on Blog Talk Radio. It was kinda interesting, & funny, to hear one of my old shows. The interviewer is Sandie.

UFOs in Wartime: Mack Maloney

My guest tonight is MACK MALONEY the author of the book: “UFOs In Wartime: What They Don’t Want You To Know”.

Maloney is the author of 40 books, including two bestsellers. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He went through public schools there, and then graduated from Suffolk University in Boston with a degree in journalism. He went on to graduate school at Emerson College earning a degree in filmmaking. He then worked in corporate public relations for the General Electric Company before leaving to write full-time.

The vast majority of Mack’s work has been in military fiction. However, because several of his highly popular novels deal with the military and UFOs, when he approached his editor about writing a nonfiction book on the topic, he got the immediate go ahead.

Mack gathered a mountain of information from many sources and spoke with some highly acclaimed UFO researchers including Jerry Clark, Keith Chester, Richard Haines, and Stan Gordon. He also spoke with a number of contacts in the U.S. military and people connected with U.S. intelligence services. It took about two years to distill all this information down to a collection of about 70 episodes detailing military encounters with UFOs from 1909 up to the first Gulf War. That’s what makes up “UFOs in Wartime – What They Didn’t Want You To Know.”

Transformer Light Show

This video was uploaded on Youtube by Brian Luenser. This is what Brian has to say: This is the aftermath of a pretty brutal thunderstorm in Fort Worth Texas on May 10, 2011. It was taken from my balcony on the 34th floor of a building in Fort Worth. Though I thought we were at war or was terrorism, it was a massive series of downed 12,470 volt power lines. As I took it with my 70-200 2.8L IS lens, it is farther away than it looks. (it is 5 miles away) That is why there are not explosion sounds. This was a very well documented event. I was on my balcony to take lightning pictures (Yes, not smart) and this started happening in front of me. I turned my camera (Canon 5d MkII) to video mode and let it roll.

Cat Fight

I think this video speaks for itself.

The sound editor did a great job synching the music to the action in the film. He should get a job as a foley in a sound studio. Oh, and, by the way, the music is from the film Predator. How appropriate. LOL
