Hunting Cryptids ‘Round the World: Mexico and Latin America Pt 2

by Jodie Bares

Two weeks ago, we began our journey into the cryptids and unknowns rooted in Mexican and Latin American culture.  This week we will continue our search for the unknown and a few more creatures looking in the jungles and the shadows...

It is said that there is a Bigfoot type creature lurking in Mexico.  Called The Sisimite (also referred to as “The Olmec Ape”), it has been reported in three Mexican states: Campeche, Chiapas and Quintana Roo, which is known to be covered in lush jungle. Its nickname comes from an artifact that was found during an archaeological dig at an Olmec site, that carbondatedback approximately two-thousand years.  Mexico Unexplained describes this creature with the following, “The Sisimite has been described as a hairy ape-like creature, much larger than a human, with the face of a human.  It has only 4 fingers and no thumbs, and, in some cases, it has been described as having backwards-facing feet. Sisimites walk upright, like humans.  They let out high-pitched screams but have no language.  They are generally regarded as being hostile to humans and have been accused of kidnapping people. Their apelike fur has been described as ranging from a chestnut color to pitch black.  They have no protruding ears and their noses are flat…”

Of Tinfoil and Ostrich Feathers

It's pretty much always been "the move": If someone is telling you something that frightens you, something you don't WANT to believe (whether it's true/real or not), the least witty among us will go for the cliche. 

Let's call it THS - Tinfoil Hat Syndrome. And let's be clear, it's not about discourse, or argument, or disagreement of any kind. When someone tells you to put on your tinfoil hat, or suggests you're already wearing one, this is their equivalent of holding up a cross to ward off vampires. Because a vampire is "bringing them bad news" too. Not that they'll actually consider the possible existence of vampires, which I will neither confirm nor deny here.

Who are the Annunaki and how are They Connected to Nibiru?

by Jodie Bares

A few weeks ago, one of our members asked about the reports of Nibiru and wanted to know more about the mysterious Planet X.  With all the reports of the rogue planet coming to smash into us in recent history, and with the soft disclosure we are experiencing in the government, I think it is time we take a look at it. However, if we are going to talk about Nibiru, we also need to talk about its inhabitants, the Annunaki.  In this article, we are going to dive into the stories, the folklore, religious text,and scientific fact surrounding the legend.

Hunting Cryptids ‘Round the World: Mexico and Latin America

by Jodie Bares

Ah, Mexico… What’s not to love about it?  They have awesome food, they have a rich culture that we are still studying and analyzing to this day, and they even have a whole holiday centered around the love and appreciation for the dead.  Mexico has come up a lot lately in the news; especially in the world of the ever-expanding knowledge of the ancient Maya and just how advanced they really were.  So, if scientists are now able to peel back the rainforest canopy and find ancient ruins, will it soon be possible they may come across the unknown?  I should warn you before we proceed that many of the cryptids we are going to talk about here have their origins in Mexican and Latin American folklore, so even though there have been numerous reported sightings of these creatures over the years, they made indeed be just myth and superstition.  With that said, it’s time to open the book on Mexico and explore what they offer in the world of cryptids.

The Big Picture

by Kevin Candela

Watching They Live again a few nights ago got me to thinking about the influence of movies on my perspective. In particular, I set about figuring what movies had helped “awaken” me to my current state, whatever that might be.

First of all I should explain that I started out as a Young American True Believer. This is when I was in single digits—the 1960s, to be exact. America had done some crazy stuff, but the way I was getting it told to me it was always someone else who “started it”. You know there’s a playground/sibling parallel to that “he/she/they started it!” thing that makes it real to a little kid, bringing it home before his or her eyes, so whoever “started it” is the all-purpose bad guy. This is how it is done with our society. So if your news shows are backing up your textbooks in agreeing that we’re only violent in response to “outside threats”, as a little kid you don’t (or we didn’t) consider that Orwellian. You’re not even up to READING Orwell yet anyway. You figure Father Knows Best. And you believe.
