Given the way a bunch of total strangers have banded together to help Doc Ulfert and CorruptionTheory.com try to get to the bottom of Project Naaczaal, I've been thinking a lot lately about the amazing things human beings are capable of. We are an incredible species.
With that on my mind, when I got this letter a few days ago, I just had to jump on it. This guy is asking me if the Mayans were merely a cargo cult worshipping the aliens who gave them all of their advanced astronomy and mathematics knowledge. Talk about underestimating the human capacity for greatness!
I've been getting lots of emails from folks scratching their heads and asking me what the heck is going on with the IHC and Soren Ulfert. If you've missed the unfolding drama so far, here's the skinny:
Soren Ulfert and CorruptionTheory.com teamed up a few weeks back to ask our help in getting to the bottom of some shady dealings around a mysterious 'Project Naaczaal' they'd both stumbled on at their jobs. They'd get us info, and in return, we've been going when and where they say to intercept secret documents.
So far we've found a lot of evidence that Aerospace Robotics Corp. (who the anonymous CT works for) and the Institute for Human Continuity (who Doc Ulfert used to work for - before he was fired are working together in a massive secret project to build escape crafts in preparation for 2012. Hint: Naaczaal is a word in Yucatecan Mayan meaning 'to lift up.'
Worse, the whole Naaczaal project is starting to stink of moral and ethical problems, given the memo we found about 'green pass holders' demanding 'deluxe accommodations.'
Last week Doc Ulfert got a scare about his personal safety and went on the run, but he's still devoted to fighting the good fight. And now, as of today, the IHC is asking the public to do their dirty work and help find Doc Ulfert for 'em... they say they want to serve him with legal papers. That's a real fine euphemism for shooting somebody, don't you think?
Remember, you heard it first from Charlie Frost!
We all know the end is coming, and we've got a mere 3 years and change left before humanity's expiration date comes and goes. Some people have asked me about my carefree tone regarding the end of the world, and to explain it, I thought I'd better talk pickles.
As you may know, I'm a big fan of a good old-fashioned pickle. My Granny Frost always made the best ones in the world, but since she's passed on, I've been reduced to the store-bought kind, with the odd shipment from my incredibly generous Uncle Jimmy. And now I can hear you all scratching your heads out there and asking, "what do pickles have to do with the end of the world, Charlie?"
See, there's not that much time left, and with that knowledge comes a change in focus. You have to maximize the positive and enjoy every day as it comes. And me, I love a good pickle. Crunchy, sour, salty, cool, pickles taste good and they remind me of happy times with Granny Frost. For you it might be something else, eating oatmeal cookies or listening to jazz or maybe visiting all of the wonders of the world (ancient, modern, or natural, take your pick.) Whatever it is, it's time to hop on it while you still can.
But hey, maybe pickles are your thing, too. Lucky you, I'm going to give you the secret Frost family recipe so you, too, can revel in the pleasures of earthly life while you've got it. Ready?
Uncle Jimmy's Salty Garlic Dill Pickles
Recipe to make three 1-quart jars.
4 pounds cucumbers (aim for small, firm, and light colored)
6 cloves of garlic
1 small bundle of dill
1/2 cup salt
3 cups vinegar
6 cups potable water
Optional:
3 pinches ground red chili peppers
regular or green onion, chopped, 3 tablespoons
Soak the cukes in ice water for a couple of hours first to keep 'em crisp.
Dice the garlic and put equal amounts into each jar. Cut the large stems off the dill and by hand remove the larger stems remaining and then evenly distribute the dill into each jar. Add optional ingredients to taste.
Pack as many cucumbers into each jar as possible. Soft cucumbers tend to make soft pickles, so go for light-colored smooth and hard cucumbers. Leave them whole except to fill in the empty spaces in the jars.
Put the 6 cups of water together with the 3 cups of vinegar into a suitable pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the 1/2 cup of salt (a little more is better than a little less). Once the salt is fully dissolved, which takes about 15 seconds while stirring, pour into the jars and seal.
Let the jars cool overnight on the kitchen counter and then refrigerate. If your jars do not leak when turned upside down, invert them every 2-4 days. You should do this inversion at least once and maybe twice -- the problem is that the top cucumbers will not benefit from the soup like the fully submerged ones will.
In two weeks they are ready to enjoy.
NOTE: These are not sterile canning techniques. While the acid from the vinegar and the salt are preservatives, we've never tried to keep these pickles long term (they don't last that long anyhow). This method is aimed at a quick process for eating immediately, not for storing for a year or more.
Last week was sure a busy one, wasn't it? Between all sorts of hush-hush intrigue and intercepting secret documents in L.A., New York and Chicago, and then cracking them open like a bunch of walnuts, new info has been coming at us so fast it's giving me vertigo. So let me lay it all out again just to make sure I've got my facts straight:
Soren Ulfert is a former employee of the Institute for Human Continuity (The IHC knows the earth is doomed in 2012 and is working to preserve humanity.) Our boy Soren received a couple of threatening phone calls and then got fired, and it sounds like Project Naaczaal has something to do with it.
Doc Ulfert still has access to the IHC's messaging system and he's using it to send out info on the document drop times and places Corruption Theory is finding. They're still on the hunt for more info to put more pieces together. But so far we've intercepted three of these packages, and from the sound of it, ARC is building something big, expensive, and super-mega-top secret.
My money is on spaceships to evacuate the earth ahead of 2012. Remember, folks, you heard it first from Charlie Frost!
I have to say, the goodwill of strangers on the internet is a powerful thing. Last week Soren Ulfert and Corruption Theory asked for help, and now... they have people all over the place cracking like their own highly trained spy corps. Who needs the establishment?
So we've learned a few things this week, not least of which is that our Corruption Theory whistleblower probably works for the Aerospace Robotics Corp. I still don't see what the IHC has to do with Naaczaal, though.
Check out Doc Ulfert being all secretive and using codewords like he doesn't think anybody knows what he's talking about. "You're INVITED to the PARTY," hah! But in case you really couldn't see right through that, he's putting another date and time for a (as it turns out) not really that secure document exchange up on that IHC PSA system he wrote about last week.
This is the most fun I've had in ages. Nothing like a good underdog story, eh?
This whole IHC election has had me thinking a lot about governments lately, and what they're good for (not much) and not so good at (just about everything). And then I got a caller with the most reee-diculous crackpot idea about reality TV I've ever heard, and trust me, I've heard an awful lot of crackpot theories.
That kind of thinking is both wildly amoral and vastly overrates the competence of our elected officials, if you ask me. But don't take my word for it, watch the video yourself:
