How come so many truly interesting stories come and go without any updates or closure? From Donald Jeffries at donaldjeffries.substack.com:
The enigma of phantom updates
One reason why my books on hidden history have proven popular is because I discuss forgotten incidents and people. Mining those memory holes produces some significant gems. What’s frustrating is the inability to find updates on important stories. It’s as if the stories themselves have been slain, left forever frozen in time.
In a December 8, 1954 television interview with Longines Chronoscope, which is still available on YouTube, Admiral Richard Byrd spoke of “an area as big as the United States, that’s never been seen by human beings. And that’s beyond the pole, on the other side of the South Pole….And I think it’s quite astonishing that there should be an area as big as that unexplored.” Those questioning him on this early panel show, set the template for our modern “journalists,” by quickly changing the subject. None of these representatives of a supposed “free press” found that statement- which contradicts what we are told regarding the geography of the area- interesting enough for any follow up questions?
Admiral Byrd is acknowledged as one of the greatest- if not the greatest explorer of all time. He couldn’t be painted as a “kook,” and cannot be converted into a “conspiracy theorist” by our beloved “fact checkers.” Byrd was never asked to elaborate on his bombshell comments, before his death on March 11, 1957. The Antarctica Treaty was signed on December 1, 1959, paving the way for future speculation about flat earth, hollow earth, and secret alien bases, among other things. I spoke to Byrd’s grandson in 2017, and he claimed never to have heard about these remarks. He told me that he would talk to his brother about it, and get back to me. I never heard from him again. Byrd’s son Richard Evelyn Byrd III died very curiously, being found in a warehouse. Wearing one shoe. Supposed Alzheimer’s, which his children denied.
