“I definitely want to record an album, direct a film and start my own religion.” —Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga’s vampire Edward Cullen) tells Glamour magazine

The RPK Experiment: Phase 3: Victoria (Peru). I’m going to Peru—alone this time!—continuing my work with Mother Ayahuasca. Eugene Kovalenko—we’ve known him since our TREAT days, has anointed Phase 3 of his RPK Experiment, “Phase 3: Victoria.”

What exactly is the purpose of the RPK Experiment?

Eugene explains:

“We are attempting to produce an NCR (non-consensus reality) event in a CR (consensus reality) frame of reference in order to learn how to apply what physicist/psychologist Arnold Mindell calls The Edge between Physics and Psychology in his seminal work Quantum Mind.

We believe that this process will lead us to a more mature understanding of our physical and psychological capabilities, which will in turn develop deeper responsibility for our planet, raise our awareness, and help us transform our individual and collective attitudes from dominating to those of partnering.”

If you want to set up your own time concentrating on the silver or red ball, you can contact Eugene Kovalenko, Ph.D. at enk33@q.com. See all the complete information about the RPK Experiment at: rpkexperiment.blogspot.com/.

My Pucallpa, Peru retreat (my reporting will come in several August articles) will be participating in the RPK Experiment (Phase 3: Victoria), during our last ayahuasca ceremony. (I’m keeping the date confidential at this time for obvious reasons!)

We will concentrate on the RPK device, which is set up in Eugene’s home. The objective will be for us to move one of two identical hanging objects in a small transparent plastic cylinder under 24/7 surveillance by two recording cameras positioned in a light-tight wooden box. The only difference between the two hanging objects is that one of them is painted red. An LED light source atop the lid of the cylinder provides constant stable illumination. This is for electronic motion detection monitoring.

The preferred movement is to make one of them swing like a pendulum.

Jack Houck (inventor of the “PK Party”) and Eugene have been working on this experiment for the past year and refer to it as “RPK.”

So far the results for the RPK Experiment are:

Phase 1: PK Party. Eugene attempted to use the same approach of Jack’s highly successful PK Party protocol.

Phase 2: Norma. Jack introduced Eugene to Norma, a gifted psychic friend, who demonstrated that she could remote view the device in his home in Los Alamos (1,000 miles away) before seeing a photograph of it. Eugene asked Norma if she could move it. Norma works by herself to reach the experimental objective. She keeps a log of her attempts, which a young LANL physicist friend and Eugene then compare to the recorded electronic data. Norma has chosen to concentrate on the red object.

Phase 3: Victoria. This is a different approach I suggested to Eugene. Phase 3: Victoria will take place in Pucallpa, Peru during our last ayahuasca ceremony. Participants, led by the curandero, will be asked to devote a very short predetermined time concentrating on moving the silver object without affecting the red one.

Eugene will know we are responsible for remotely moving the silver ball!

Phase 4: Spooks. Eugene will be organizing Phase 4: Spooks since at the recent IRVA Conference in Las Vegas he met several ex-spooks who took an interest in the RPK Experiment. So…Phase 4: Spooks must surpass the results of Phase 3: Victoria! I am confident the Phase 3: Victoria team will triumph and take the lead!

Camille Paglia slams Lady Gaga. Paglia continues her love-affair-from-afar with Madonna. Paglia commented on sensational Lady Gaga in the New York Times Op-Ed Contributor article “No Sex Please, We’re Middle Class” (published on June 25, 2010): “Madonna’s dance-track acolyte, Lady Gaga, with her compulsive overkill, is a high-concept fabrication without an ounce of genuine eroticism.”

Picture Your ESP: Reveal Your Hidden Powers with the Nu ESP Test! Our friend Alain Nu, star of The Learning Channel’s international television series The Mysterious World of Alain Nu has authored his first book Picture Your ESP!: Reveal Your Hidden Powers With "The Nu ESP Test"

I put Alain in touch with Eugene Kovalenko. Maybe there will be a Phase 5: Magicans?

It is a beautiful and expensively produced—as Alain told me—“labor of love.” Serious research in scientific laboratories has discovered that humans really do have the ability to predict future events and receive telepathic information. Nu’s book guides readers to a different way of thinking that opens paths to new ways to use your mind providing immediate feedback on your inner intuitions.

How psychic are you? Now you can test your own sense of psychic abilities.

Nu believes we have an innate ability to manifest outcomes, predict future events, and receive telepathic information at an overall success rate that is, simply-put, above chance expectation.

Alain Nu has specifically created 30 photographic “psychic-challenges” to develop and stretch the limits of your subconscious-sensitivity. www.nu-magic.com/products.shtml.

Andres Serrano Sings! I visited Andres at his fabulous transplanted Germany monastery-themed duplex apartment years ago while visiting Ingo Swann in New York. Andres, who sparked a culture war with his “Piss Christ” piece in 1989, is now a singer. Andres—under the alter-ego of Brutus Faust—released an album last week, “Vengeance Is Mine.” He also produced a video for one song, “Love Letters,” made up entirely of footage from Joe Sarno’s 1965 sexploitation film, “Flesh and Lace.”

     




I Play Tournament Poker! The 41st annual World Series of Poker has set a new overall attendance record, with 63,706 entrants through the first 55 events of the international poker extravaganza. With two tournaments remaining, including the renowned Main Event, this year’s WSOP also generated a prize pool in excess of $100 million for the sixth consecutive year.

Media Poker Tournament for 2010 World Series of Poker was held on July 11, 2010—12 noon SHARP! with an iPad to the winner! The 2010 WSOP Media Charity Poker Tournament—for credentialed WSOP media only—was held at the Rio Hotel—Amazon Ballroom. What was at stake? For tradition, bragging rights and to determine the 2010 WSOP Media Tourney Champion.

We played No Limit Hold‘em with $0 Buy-in, 15-minutes levels and it was structured as a 5-hour tournament based on 150 players. The prizes were trophies for the top 3 finishers & first bust out. There was an iPad to the winner and less glamorous prizes for those making the final table. A $5,000 donation was made to the Nevada Cancer Institute on behalf of the 2010 WSOP media corps. Lunch was provided during tournament.

The photos: (1) Me with my “poker face.” There were 130 media members in the tournament. After I “went all in” and lost the hand, the announcer said there were 43 players left. For someone who never played a game of poker before, I am exceptionally proud of my performance!

The Devil’s Hammer: Why this name? Readers new to TDH [editors note: Victoria’ column also appears under the name “The Devil’s Hammer” at www.fromthebalcony.com] always ask me: Why that name? The Devil’s Hammer is my tribute to The Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for “The Hammer of Witches”). After all, I live in Sin City—and Las Vegas is damn proud of that nickname.

The Malleus Maleficarum is a famous treatise on witches, written in 1486 by two inquisitors of the Dominican order, Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger. They were empowered by Pope Innocent VIII in his Bull of December 9, 1484 to prosecute witches throughout northern Germany. The impact of the work was felt in witch trials on the Continent for almost 200 years.

The Malleus Maleficarum is arguably one of the most infamous books ever written, due primarily to its position and regard during the Middle Ages. Montague Summers, who was responsible for the first English translation, published in 1928, called The Malleus Maleficarum “One of the most important, wisest and weightiest books in the world.” During it’s time it was second only to the Bible in sales.

The main purpose of the Malleus was to attempt to systematically refute arguments claiming that witchcraft does not exist, discredit those who expressed skepticism about its reality, to claim that witches were more often women than men, and to educate magistrates on the procedures that could find them out and convict them. Kramer was denounced by the Inquisition in 1490!

The Malleus Maleficarum asserts that three elements are necessary for witchcraft: the evil-intentioned witch, the help of the Devil, and the Permission of God.

Extraterrestrials in Bayan-Kara-Ula? High in the mountains of Bayan-Kara-Ula, on the borders of China and Tibet—a team of archeologists were conducting a very detailed routine survey of a series of interlinked caves. Their interests had been excited by the discovery of lines of neatly arranged graves which contained the skeletons of a strange race of human beings; strange because they had unnaturally spindly bodies and large, over-developed heads.

At first, it had been thought that the caves had been the home of a hitherto unknown species of ape. But as the leader of the team—archeologist Professor Chi Pu Tei—pointed out, “Who ever heard of apes burying each other?”

It was while studying the skeletons that one of the team stumbled on a large, round stone disk, half buried in the dust on the floor of the cave. There was a hole in the center and a fine, spiral groove radiated to the rim. Closer inspection showed that the groove was a continuous spiraling line of closely written characters. The object was a ‘record’...in more ways than one. Nobody at the time—the year was 1938—possessed the key to its incredible message.

In 1965, Professor Tei and four of his colleagues were finally given permission to reveal their theory in a paper titled, “The Grooved Script concerning Space-ships which, as recorded on the Discs, landed on Earth 12,000 years ago.”

The ‘records’—716 of the grooved discs were later uncovered in the same caves—told an astonishing story of a ‘space probe’ by the inhabitants of another planet which came to grief in the Bayan-Kara-Ula mountain range. The strange, spiral script told how the peaceful intentions of the ‘aliens’ had been misunderstood and how many of them were hunted down and killed by members of the Ham tribe, who lived in the neighboring caves.

According to Tsum Um Nui, one of the lines of the hieroglyphs read, “The Dropas came down from the clouds in their aircraft. Our men, women and children hid in the caves ten times before sunrise. When at last they understood the sign language of the Dropas, they realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions...Another section expressed ‘regret’ by the Ham tribe that the aliens’ spaceship had crash-landed in such a remote and inaccessible mountains and that there had been no way to building a new one to enable Dropas to return to their own planet.

Legend still preserved in the area spoke of small, gaunt, yellow-faced men who ‘came from the clouds, long, long ago.’ The men had huge, bulging heads and puny bodies and were so ugly and repellent that they were hounded down by local tribesmen on horseback and killed.

Did the discs actually record an abortive space mission by alien astronauts 12,000 years ago? Skeptics say it’s a fantasy. skepticwiki.org/index.php/Dropa_Stones.

Once again, aliens travel across the Universe and then crash! Take-off goes well, but landing—The eponymous “Roswell Crash Scenario” (RSC)—is always a disaster.

Has anyone considered that alien pilots are on suicide missions?

9/11’s 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui (pictured), told his flight instructors that he wanted to learn to fly big planes, but was not interested in taking off or landing.
