Alright Higherside Chatters, we know the world is filled with mystery and secrets those pesky puppetmasters of the power pyramid have no interest in sharing with us. But we've seen many indications in the last few years that something big is going on in Antarctica. And why shouldn't there be? Yes, we've been told it's a huge, sad, lonely, block of ice – nothing but a diving board for penguins- but we're talking about 5 1/2 million square miles. A land mass the size of The United States and Mexico combined- and when you consider the fluctuations, resources, and even historical clues of a land mass that size- I find it highly suspicious to present it as a total waste of time. Because it wasn't a waste of time for then Secretary of State John Kerry, Newt Gingrich, Buzz Aldrin, the Patriarch of Russia......or any of the other privileged people tasked with making trips to such a wasteland in recent years Doesn't seem to be a waste of time for the multitude of major corporations and military contractors who are also very much active on the big block of nothing. Throw in the legendary speculation of a passageway to the inner earth- and you got yourself some real reasons to speculate. Though today on THC, we're going to get past the guessing, and talk to Dr. Michael Salla, who recently released a heavy book about this very subject and the hidden history, secret bases, and real geography of the icy continent, entitled Antarctica's Hidden History: Corporate Foundations of Secret Space Programs which weighs in at over 300 fascinating pages If you don't know Dr. Salla, he's been a pioneer in the development of ‘Exopolitics’, the political study of the key actors, institutions and processes associated with extraterrestrial life. He has a Ph.D in Government from the University of Queensland, Australia, and an M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Melbourne. He's also written several other great books on intreging topics, like: Exopolitics: Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence Insiders Reveal Secret Space Programs & Extraterrestrial Alliances and Kennedy's Last Stand: Eisenhower, UFOs, MJ-12 & JFK's Assassination Dr. Salla also founded the Exopolitics Institute in (2005) the Exopolitics Journal in (2006) and he has co-organized five international conferences on extraterrestrial life and Earth Transformation on the Big Island of Hawaii. Truly a man on a mission to break the chains of secrecy, reveal the hidden hands in global affairs, and usher in a new world of knowing. - Dr. Michael Salla
