One Hundred Degrees South - Beyond Belief

Whet Your Appetite With The First Three Chapters!

   

Chapter 1

Wednesday 28th November 1979 – The Mount Erebus Disaster


Air New Zealand DC-10, Flight 901, left Christchurch airport at dawn, climbing gracefully into the pale blue, early summer skies over the Southern Ocean. It was supposed to be a routine sightseeing tour—a sweep along the legal perimeter of the Antarctic Treaty Zone, a place that for some obscure reason, the governments of the world had long agreed, was too politically volatile to trespass upon.

At least, that was what the passengers believed.

Captain Jim Collins didn’t share their certainty. He had flown in Antarctica for fifteen years, long enough to know that the treaty lines were not abstract diplomatic terms. They were real, strictly enforced borders monitored by a force that didn’t officially exist—the United Nations Antarctic Interceptor Force, the UN-AIF.

Pilots joked about them—mysterious aircraft that never appeared on radar, sinister patrols that emerged from nowhere, the whispered stories of what happened to planes that crossed the wrong line. They joked, yes, but no one ever crossed those lines—at least, not intentionally.

Four hours into the flight, Collins frowned at his instruments. “Navigation drift,” he muttered. “Must be magnetic shear again.”

His first officer, Greg Cassin, tapped the compass housing, a puzzled expression adorning his face. “That can’t be right. We’re well south of our designated co-ordinates.”

Collins felt his blood run cold. Navigation drift to near the 62nd parallel was normal but to drift this far south was not. He ran what he hoped would be a manual fix, then recalculated. He ran it again and exhaled noisily in exasperation. They were nowhere near where they were supposed to be, they were inside the Antarctic Treaty Exclusion Zone—the area forbidden to all civilian aircraft.

Beyond that invisible boundary, the UN Interceptor Force had full authority to neutralise any unauthorised craft—plane or boat. Collins swallowed. “We’ve crossed the line.”

Cassin stared at him. “By how much?”

Before he could answer, the radio crackled. A voice—cold, clipped, and absolutely calm—filled the cockpit. “Air New Zealand Flight 901, this is UN-AIF Interceptor Two. You are operating in restricted airspace. Throttle back your engines and prepare for enforced descent. Now.”

Cassin’s face went pale. “Oh God, where the hell are we?” he whispered to his superior officer.

The passengers noticed the shadow first—an unmarked blue jet gliding beside them like a prowling shark. It wasn’t a fighter jet as the world understood them; it was sleeker, built for stealth and painted in matt glacial blue with the white UN insignia on its tail.

Murmurs of apprehension spread through the passenger cabin like wildfire. 

“What’s that?” “Is this part of the tour?” “Why is it so close?”

Collins manned the radio. “UN-AIF Interceptor Two, this is civilian sightseeing aircraft Air-NZ 901. We’ve had a navigation failure. We’re correcting course now.”

The anonymous, sinister voice returned, still as calm as the lightly falling snow outside.

“Course correction rejected. You are within a restricted ecological and security zone. You will deploy emergency flaps immediately and prepare for descent.”

Collins, desperate now, tried again. “We have two-hundred-and-fifty-seven souls on board. Prepare for descent to wh—?”

“Failure to comply will result in termination.”

Cassin whispered, “They’re bloody-well serious, sir.”

Collins knew that the Treaty’s Exclusion Zone hid things that the public wasn’t allowed to know—whatever lay beyond the sixtieth parallel was to remain a closely guarded secret. Antarctica was not an alleged ‘sanctuary,’ it was an enigma, an insoluble riddle and those in power were determined it would remain so—at all costs.

The Interceptor drew closer. Then a second appeared, and a third. Some of the passengers began to cry, while others hastily scribbled final notes of eternal love to family, they sensed they would never see again. Notes that would never reach their intended recipients.

Collins angled the radio mic away from him slightly so that the Interceptor wouldn’t hear the tremor in his voice. “UN-AIF, we request the emergency negotiation protocol. We have…”

A blinding line of light streaked across the plane’s port side—a tracer, deliberately wide of the target, but close enough to obliterate Collins’ words. Some passengers screamed. 

Cassin stuttered, “That… was… a warning.”

“It was,”Collins replied, “But the next one won’t be.”

The Interceptor pilot spoke again.

“Air New Zealand Flight 901, you are ordered to deploy emergency flaps and prepare for guided descent to Holding Site Delta. Fail to comply, and we will take the necessary extreme action.”

Collins’ mind raced. Working overtime.

If they descended… Holding Site Delta…? He’d only ever heard vague rumours from his colleagues of ‘military detention,’ ‘biohazard decontamination,’ and of people who’d entered and were never heard from again. He thought of the passengers—families with children, tourists, retirees, a group of university researchers. None of them deserved that fate. So, he made his decision—rightly or wrongly.

“Greg, full power. North bearing, now!” Cassin blinked rapidly. “Jim, no—they’ll shoot us down.”

“They won’t kill civilians,” he exclaimed, praying he was right. “Not intentionally.”

Cassin pushed the throttles forward hard and the engines roared. The DC-10 banked steeply and then surged northward but the Interceptors reacted instantly.

A beam flashed past the cockpit—a kinetic pulse, non-explosive, designed to disable engines without destroying them. The first shot missed. The second didn’t and a violent jolt tore through the fuselage. One engine died. The plane yawed hard to the left and fearful cries erupted in the passenger cabin.

Alarms screamed in the cockpit. ‘Bank angle, bank angle,’ ‘pull up, pull up.’ The two pilots fought the controls, muscles shaking and sinews straining as they tried their damnedest to level the aircraft.

“Come on, come on…!”

A missile then ripped into the starboard wing. The plane’s structure groaned as it failed, air shuddering around the stress.

Cassin shouted, “We’ve lost her, Jim.”

Collins didn’t respond. He couldn’t. The plane dipped sharply, auto alarms still blaring. It seemed that the ice rushed upward to meet them and passengers clung to each other, crying, praying, screaming.

A voice—that same calm, robot-like Interceptor voice—spoke one last time through the static. “Incursive impact imminent.”

Then their world turned white.

The crash tore a fiery black scar across the ice on the slopes of the volcano, Mount Erebus. The aircraft broke along its spine, scattering metal, shattered glass and mangled bodies across a frozen landscape that few humans had ever seen. The Interceptors circled once, satisfied that they had now done their duty and then returned to base.

Within hours, a UN-AIF recovery crew donning white hazard suits swept the site with an efficiency that bordered on inhuman. They carried equipment with no civilian markings, devices that hummed softly like the Antarctic wind. The crew leader spoke into a visor-mounted transmitter.

“Core Zone breach neutralised. Activate the containment protocol.”

They moved quickly, collecting data, debris, and—carefully, quietly—the scattered body parts. Anything that belonged to Flight 901 disappeared into unmarked crates and the wind and snow quickly erased the tracks they left behind them.

By nightfall, no trace remained.

Two weeks later, the official report was circulated to select UN committees, for distribution to the world’s media…

Civilian flight Air New Zealand Flight 901 lost in Antarctica 28th November 1979, due to unprecedented adverse weather conditions and navigational malfunction. No survivors.

Nothing more.

The boundary stayed secret. The Interceptors stayed secret and the mountain slope where the plane crashed remained off-limits under the deepest level of treaty classification. And far from the world’s eyes, the Interceptor Force continued their patrols—guardians of a border no one acknowledged, but which every nation respected.

And Antarctica itself, indifferent as ever to the sinister machinations of those in power, continued to hold the truth within its frozen silence.

  
  

Chapter 2

Thursday 16th March 2023 – 

The Eve of Dobbo and Asiri’s Engagement


“They told you that the world was a ball—spinning, floating, perfect, wrapped in blue and crowned with satellites. But what if that image, the one in every Earthlander classroom, on every computer, in books and planted within every mind was never meant to inform you, it was meant to limit you? The globe is not a map; it is a containment model, a closed-loop visual spell designed to make sure that you never ask what is beyond the edge.

And Antarctica is not a continent, it is a barrier, a sealed, frozen ring that surrounds all of ‘Earthland.’ There are no-fly zones, international treaties that no one questions, guarded borders with military enforcement and they say it is for science—but no one builds worldwide military restrictions just to protect penguins or mineral deposits! What are they really hiding at the edge?  Old maps do not place Antarctica at the bottom, they place it around the world, a circle, a cage. 

The archives before NASA, before the UN, before the modern globes, show maps with extra continents, unknown lands—islands bigger than Australia but now missing! The Orontius Finaeus Delphinus map of 1531 depicts Antarctica as ice-free with rivers and cities. The Piraeus map of 1513 includes land no one has yet discovered and ancient Japanese maps show concentric realms with more land beyond ours. These were not guesses, these were records but they were all redacted. There are places you cannot go, not because they do not exist but because they are sealed; marked as ‘no access,’ uninhabitable or classified. The maps cut them off, the globe curves them out but the ancients included them. Beyond the ice wall, beyond the assumed pole, there are lands and realms never taught about in modern, freemasonic-controlled Earthland educational establishments. And lost worlds such as Extrema, Thoth, Lemuria and Atlantis, but what is clear is this; they are not for the likes of you. The Russian map of 1958, declassified in parts, shows more than seven continents—as do the ancient Vedic Scrolls and also the Sumerian records. The Admiral Byrd expedition logs hint at land bigger than the U.S. beyond the pole, so why were you only taught about seven continents? It is because knowledge of additional realms totally breaks the illusion.

If the Earth is larger, the controlled realm is smaller and if there is more land, there are more resources, more origin stories, more beings and less control. They did not just lie about the land, they also rewrote the heavens and they turned the stars into a projection, a fixed dome of mapped illusion. And the ancient ones did not navigate by constellations they navigated by resonance because the ‘real’ map is not just horizontal—it is vertical too. The sky above is not space, it is a grid, a layered interface, a frequency ceiling and what we call stars, they are not suns, they are nodes, points in the cosmic circuit board.

Those maps depicted things that broke the spell, but they were not guessing, they were preserving. Empires could not allow that, so the maps were destroyed and the cartographers burned at the stake as witches, murdered or absorbed into secret societies.

The maps in use today are the censored versions. The UN Globe is a distortion of the flat Earth azimuthal equidistant map, stripped of names, borders and truth. You were told to think in two dimensions but the Earth has many more layers than that. Those continents did not sink, they were veiled, shifted out of resonance and that is why legends of Lemuria, Mu, Thoth and ancient Hyperborea exist on every continent—different names, same memories. Every time an area was erased from the map it was not through nature, it was through deception and war. Borders were not drawn with pens, they were carved with fire, blood and rewritten memories. Entire empires vanished overnight—not by collapse but by deletion and when they erased the land they did not stop there, they wiped the languages, the cultures, the memories of those who lived there. It was not conquest, it was cartographic genocide and they did not just erase land they erased your ancestor’s lives, your tribes and your history. Then they presented you with a globe and said, ‘this is all there is.’ 

Even the right to rule was based on hidden geography, encoded in DNA. You could not enter certain places without that frequency within your blood and you think it is a coincidence that royalty and the cabal are obsessed with genealogy? They did not just want to preserve purity; they wanted to preserve gate access. You have always been told to look outside for the answers but the real journey is inward. The veins in your body mirror river systems, your neural pathways echo ley line grids and your heartbeat synchronises itself to the Earth’s Schumann Resonance.[1] This is no longer about physical territory; it is about mapped consciousness. They cannot colonise land they cannot find so they colonised you, your beliefs, your memories, your internal compass and now they distort the magnetic grid, scramble the solar codes and fill your skies with poisons and noise.

Do not follow their maps anymore, do not walk them back into existence. They say you are looking at suns, giant burning spheres millions of miles away but when you really look up, especially through a real lens unfiltered by NASA or freemasonic ‘science,’ you do not see fiery balls, you see oscillating patterns, swirling lights almost like ripples on water or vibrating sound signatures. Stars look circular, not because they are solid spheres but because they are resonant frequencies held in place, harmonic nodes flickering in the firmament’s grid. You are not looking out into infinity, you are looking into a dome of light frequencies mapped, mirrored and mathematically fixed and that is why the constellations have never changed, not in thousands of years, because they are not hurtling through space, they are part of the design. You are told the sun rises and sets because the Earth spins, but that is not what you see. The suns, your sun and ours, do not rise, they rotate in a wide arc above the land just like a local spotlight over a giant stage and that is why sunrise and sunset look so horizontal and why light fades evenly in every direction, not because the Earth is turning but because the light source is moving above you.

Watch time lapses from a high altitude and you will see the sun curve around you rather than sink away. That is because suns circle overhead, their light is local, their path precisely measured and their movement aligns perfectly with the ancient cosmologies. No tilting Earth, no spiralling through endless space, just ‘clockwork’ suns within the sealed system. And why do sunsets bleed red? It is because the firmament, the dome, is refracting the light. The deeper the angle, the thicker the dome's filter—you are watching a contained orb dim through a crystalline ceiling. They told you that your sun was ninety-three million miles away and performed endless mathematical gymnastics to ‘prove’ it, but if it were, its rays would hit the Earth in parallel lines, but instead we see crepuscular rays, those sunbeams that diverge from a single point but that only happens when the light source is near, very near!

They told us that the moon reflects the sun’s light and is just a passive rock reflecting solar rays but step outside on a clear night and you will feel it. The moon does not warm, it cools. That is because the moon is not a reflector, it is emitting its own cold light and infrared thermometers have tested and proved it to be true. Objects in direct moonlight are colder than those in the shade but that is not how reflection works—that is opposite radiation.

Ancient mystics called the moon ‘the counter-sun,’ a balancing force but it is not neutral, not passive, it alters sleep, shifts moods, and it does not just shine, it affects us in many ways. And that face we always see, it is locked. The moon never rotates away from our view, it shows one face only, as if it was positioned in place, artificially formed. Even the craters behave strangely with shadows facing in the wrong directions, flat-bottomed like imprints and not concave impact zones.

So, what is it? A local luminary, a signal tower code-emitter? Its phases synchronise with tides, birth cycles, menstrual cycles, blood and dream states. It is not random it is ritualistic and if it is broadcasting, what is it receiving? They say our stars are suns, scattered across a limitless void but they have never moved, not in millennia, not in any meaningful way. The same constellations our distant ancestors saw are still in the same positions they always were. The North Star has never left the centre, even though they claim we spin, tilt, orbit and spiral headlong through space. If we were truly hurtling through the cosmos along with the rest of creation, we would not see perfect cycles and static star maps we would see chaos—but what we see instead is structure.

The stars do not float they are fixed points in the firmament grid, oscillating lights locked into the celestial circuitry. The zodiac is not about personality and characteristics, it is a ‘sky clock,’ a cosmic calendar and each sign represents a seasonal frequency window with energetic gates that align with Earthly events. That is why major rituals always happen under specific star signs and specific, significant dates and it is not astrology, it is timing within the firmament’s programme. And the twelve zodiacal symbols are not just signs, they are sky sectors used to orientate time, energy, soul-transit and even ancient temples were aligned to the fixed stars because the ancients knew that the true grid is not GPS, it is celestial. When you look up, you are not seeing infinity you are seeing the ‘clockwork’ of the celestial construct.

They say space is endless but every rocket ever launched hits the same thing, the firmament, a point where speed dies, engines stall and stop and the silence becomes heavy. They show you CGI galaxies and green-screen launches, but no raw footage ever breaks through because we cannot fly through space, we are sealed in the firmament. It is not a metaphor, it is a structure described in Genesis, the Quran, echoed in our very own, treasured Quechuan manuscripts and mirrored in ancient cosmologies from Egypt to the Norse tree of life, Yggdrasil. It is a barrier, a vault, a ceiling of containment so that we cannot leave physically. No one has, not through force and not with technology but there are other ways. The ancient mystics knew, the shamans, the monks who fasted for forty days, the prophets who vanished into the mountains and returned changed—they did not escape with spaceships, they exited through frequency.

They told you that the Earth is a globe, 24,000 miles in circumference—a perfect spinning ball in space but even that number does not hold up to scrutiny. Airline flight-paths do not match the curve. No one accounts for curvature in construction, the horizon goes on forever and even pilots such as yourselves, Adam and Sami, have spoken on record to the effect that the Earth is a flat, level plain. So how big it really is you never really knew for sure because you were never shown the full map. But what you are now realising is that the Earth extends far beyond the known continents on your side of the ice wall.

Ancient maps show dozens of other realms, including Thoth. A 1958 Soviet-era map shows over thirty continents; some say hundreds and that is just in this realm. The land upon which we all stand does not curve; it expands! We are not on a globe we are on an endless plain, a plain so vast it would break your programming to grasp it all at once. So how far does it go? Who knows? There may even be mirror realms, duplicate worlds and light inversions and, as some suggest, it may even wrap in on itself like a toroidal field, a looping construct of endless terrain. But what is certain, my friends, is that it is far, far bigger than you have been told! It stretches much further even than the extremities of this realm and Thoth and none of my compatriots have ever discovered an edge.

Admiral Byrd spoke of massive, undiscovered continents beyond the ice wall which is why the Antarctic Treaty was signed and the entire area closed-off with military protection. They wanted it hidden, never to be revealed to the rank and file, but here it is, no more coded language, no poetic veil. You wanted the truth and now you are standing on it! Yes, there are other lands just like this one. It is not fantasy, not a metaphor, real lands here beyond the ice wall, in this and other enclosed systems, other domes, other realms, each with their own suns, their own moons, their own grids. You have been taught that you are on the only one in existence, but that is a gross lie. You live on one pocket of terrain in a much larger construct. Each pocket is a sealed system, a contained environment and part of a vast interconnected design.

Some ancient maps show rings upon rings of land, each one self-governing with its own beings’ timelines and laws of nature. We are not alone; we were never alone. So why do they not tell you? It is because control only works when you believe that there is nowhere else to go, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and nothing beyond. If humanity at large found out about these realms, governments would fall, borders would collapse, people would demand passage and that is why the Antarctic Treaty exists and it is why no country claims the South Pole region. That is also why all Earthland militaries protect the edge. You are from just one realm in a vast grid of worlds you were not meant to know about or find out about. But now you know, Antarctica is not the end—it is the beginning!

You feel the truth within you now, do you not? The ice wall is not simply just frozen terrain patrolled by armed men in uniforms tasked with keeping the borders sealed. Ancient sailors spoke of giants in the south, Admiral Byrd hinted at massive creatures beyond the pole and even ancient cartographers drew serpents, dragons and humanoid beasts guarding the perimeters. They were not just decorating maps; they were documenting memories. There are reports, buried deep, of feathered colossi roaming edge zones, ice serpents surfacing near the wall, bipedal sentinels immune to weapons and humanoid watchers with eyes that glow under the Aurora. These are not just stories, they are warnings! Some beings were placed here, not to harm but to contain, to prevent you crossing between realms, unless one is resonantly aligned… 

…And what does that mean? It means force will not get you through, only frequency will do that and that is why expeditions, such as Captain Scott’s Terra Nova expedition more than a century ago, vanish or are purposely eliminated, why records are scrubbed clean and why Antarctica is locked tight, because if you are not meant to pass, you will not! While you were plunged into endless wars, not every realm fell. Some stayed untouched, uncolonised, unbroken and these are the preserved civilisations, original humans who never consumed the lie, never fell under false light, never forgot who they are. They did not need to build back because they were never broken. They still hold pre-flood knowledge, organic technology, star communication systems and memory of the unified Earth before the partitions. Their architecture is alive, their power is natural, their food does not simply grow in the accepted traditional sense, it resonates into existence. 

There are exit gates, ancient ones encoded into the terrain and into you. These gates, like Regni Cuniculum III, the tunnel linking Extrema with Thoth for example, contain frequencies and will only fully open for those whose resonance matches the original blueprint, the one before the fracture, before the edits, before the prison grid in which you lived before your journey. You do not find the gate, you remember it—and once you do and fully accept it, it opens for you. 

Throughout history the initiated searched for it. The Gnostics called it the ‘Aeon Bridge,’ the Essenes called it the ‘Lightway,’ the Vedic texts named it the ‘Door of Davas,’ and even in ancient Egyptian law, the Duat was a secret passage between realms, guarded by memory and purity. The catch though is that you cannot bring the system’s weight with you, nor fear nor control, and absolutely not lies, only the truth. 

The map has been within you since birth. It is in your blood memory and in the geometries that call to you in your dreams that repeat and, in the songs and symbols you are drawn to but do not know why. Those are breadcrumbs from your higher self from the version of you that never fell. The gate is not just an escape, it is a return to who you were before the dome was turned into a globe, before the edit, before the Earth was fractured and once you pass through it you do not just leave the construct, you collapse it. They built the construct to contain you, to limit your senses, to trap your soul in a loop of forgetting. They used maps then globes, then screens then stars. They told you where you live, what you are, what the sky is, what truth is, but all along they were terrified that you would remember something far more dangerous to them and that is that you are the gate, the map, the signal, the flame. You were never meant to be a passenger, you were a navigator and that gut feeling you have carried since childhood that your world was not quite right, that something was being hidden, that there may be more out there, was not doubt. That was truth echoing through your blood and every cell, every fibre of your being. 

They did not trap youin that realm, they trapped your memory, but now it has awoken and as it returns and expands your consciousness, the barriers crumble, the sky cracks, the lies dissolve and the Earth expands beneath your feet because once you stop asking ‘where is the edge?’ and start asking ‘why was it sealed?’ the dome begins to open from the inside. 

So here is the truth… you were never trapped, you were the key, the map, the signal waiting to activate and now you are remembering—and that is how you smash the entire system. It was not just about land; it was not about oil and it was not even about power. They hid these other realms because they feared you would remember you originally came from one of them and also because if you knew that the Earth was infinite, with other lands, other oceans, other suns and other natural laws, you would stop obeying, you would stop fearing death, you would stop respecting borders, and you would stop serving systems built to enslave you. You would also start exploring inside through the cracks in the dome and worst of all for them, you would start finding each other. 

This is why they erased the real maps, why Antarctica is guarded like a portal and why they drown truth in pseudoscience, enticing you to accept outer space and alien incursion fantasies and spiritual sedation, because they know that if even one soul remembers where they truly came from, others will feel it eventually, through bio-resonance and the ‘one-hundredth monkey syndrome[2]’—and then the entire illusion will collapse. 

So… now you know there are other lands, other realms, another you and the only thing that was stopping you from finding them again was forgetting that they were real.”

At this point, Grandfather Supay, the presiding sage at the following morning’s engagement ceremony wiped a stray, emotional tear from his eye and slowly resumed his seat at the head of the top table once more. A small ripple of applause rang-out immediately amongst the sixty or so guests, composed overwhelmingly of Extremans, the only Earthlanders in fact, being Dobbo and Adam.

Then suddenly, spontaneously, Dobbo rose to his feet, dragging Adam upright alongside him and began clapping and cheering loudly. This was the signal seemingly for which, the entire room had been waiting. In seconds the crowded civic hall auditorium was drowned in tumultuous applause and noises of appreciation for Supay’s eloquent and extremely prescient soliloquy. 

“Fucking hell,”he shouted above the cacophony, into Adam’s ear. “What a speech. What a guy! Talk about eye-opening...!” 

And then once the hubbub had died somewhat, everyone was seated again and the inordinate din had subsided to a mere murmur of approval, he added, “Seriously, mate, that is the most amazing speech I have ever heard—and what’s more—it all makes perfect sense. Just a few weeks ago I would have dismissed that as a complete load of bollocks, but now my eyes have been opened to some of the truth already, that just puts the soddin’ tin lid on it all! Wow, just wow!”

“Amazing, wasn’t it?” was all that Adam could manage to respond with, his eyes overflowing with moisture as his own emotions spilled-over and the tingle down his spine began to abate.

  

  

Chapter 3

Friday 14th May 2021 – Summit of Global Leaders, 

Gstaad, Switzerland


Amidst the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps, where serenity and grandeur blend seamlessly, the grand halls of the luxurious Alpina five-star spa hotel in Gstaad shimmered in the pale morning light. The air on this beautiful spring morning was crisp, tinged with a faint scent of pine and polished marble and there, in a luxury penthouse suite, in this haven of refinement and discretion, a gathering of huge significance was about to take place—a private summit between the heads of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations (UN), the World Bank, and the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). This meeting, meticulously orchestrated and cloaked in confidentiality, was intended to profoundly shape the future of all mankind and indeed the Earth itself—or so the four protagonists fervently hoped.

The carefully chosen venue is perched high in the midst of Europe’s greatest mountain range, its windows framing vistas of distant glaciers and verdant meadows below. A crystal chandelier cast a golden hue upon the high-ceilinged suite, where a table of meticulously polished walnut, circled by velvet-backed chairs, awaited its distinguished guests. Outside, the entire world was wholly unaware of the potential outcome of this iconic meeting, but within those walls, time itself seemed to pause, allowing for reflection, dialogue, and decisions of high consequence for humanity.

As dawn broke, a discreet motorcade glided along the boulevard, delivering the attendees to the hotel’s secluded, private entrance. At this time of day, the lobby was quiet, save for the subtle rustle of documents and the soft chatter of the staff manning the reception area. Security was unassuming but omnipresent—plainclothes agents circulated unobtrusively. The VIP guests were greeted not only by the hotel’s director but also by a select cadre of senior Swiss armed police, whose presence belied the nation’s perpetual role as a neutral country.

The attendees at this secret session were none other than Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF, Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the UN, David Malpass, President of the World Bank and Nick Beams, head of the BIS.

There was to be no formal record of the meeting, no published minutes and no secretary present. In fact, secrecy was preserved by the purely verbal records, being privately recorded on each of the quartet’s personal Dictaphones, only.

It was Schwab, one of the chief architects of the great covid pandemic scam of 2020-22 himself, who opened the meeting, addressing the others in hushed yet formal tones, in his distinctive, native German accent… 

“Well, gentlemen…”,he began, whilst respectfully nodding towards the three others present. “…I think we all know exactly why we are here. We have all already been in discreet discussions with our seniormost partners in our respective organisations and we now have a broad mandate as to how to proceed with this ambitious, yet wholly necessary plan to secure the future of the Earth and equally importantly, the future of ourselves and our families and those of the other Elites of this realm.”

He took their soft murmurs of approval as the green light to continue and commenced broadly outlining the drastic plan—as dictated to him by the real rulers of this world. 

“So, gentlemen…”he continued, in carefully measured tones, “…here is the broad outline of what will become known, on a strictly need-to-know basis only, of course, as ‘Operation Floodgate…’”

“Yeah mate, most people just do as they’re told and don’t ask questions so why should these bastards be any different?” Jerry added, increasing the ‘Truth’s’ speed slightly. 


“Well, I don’t reckon they mean it.” Janine’s defiance was becoming ever more apparent.  “Ignore ‘em I say.”


“Antarctic Truth, this is your final warning. Turn around now. Over,” announced the Shackleton, menacingly.


“OK Guys, hold on tight,” shouted Jerry, increasing speed rapidly, the ‘Truth’s’ bow rising sharply from the water. Brett and Janine grabbed hold of the rail firmly, worry and anxiety etched on their faces.


The Shackleton responded by speeding-up, effortlessly gaining on them. “That is a serious piece of kit”thought Jerry, realising very quickly that their chances of outrunning the gunboat were slim to non-existent. The sound of gunfire then filled the air as the U.N. vessel fired a salvo of warning shots across the stern of the ‘Truth,’ ripping the flag to shreds and splintering the gunwale.


“Shit!” exclaimed Brett. “They mean it Jerry. Turn around—now!”


“Nah, Brett, they won’t do it,” countered Jerry somewhat unconvincingly. “They’re bluffing.”


“They fucking will do it Jerry, I’m telling you”, screamed Brett. “For Christ’s sake man, turn around now. I reckon….!”


“Look don’t panic Brett, it’s a bluff,” said Jerry cutting him short. “I’m telling you they’re bullshitters.   What do you reckon Jan?”


“I reckon they’re bluffing too, Jerry,” replied Janine. “Let’s try and outrun them!”


Jerry increased throttle to the ‘Truth’s’ maximum thirty-six knots, resulting in the Shackleton increasing its speed accordingly. On the bridge of The Shackleton, Captain Ed McMaster and first mate Colin Williams stared at each other in disbelief.


“The stupid bloody idiots—they don’t believe us Williams. Full throttle guys, they mean business this lot.”


Within a minute, the gunboat had reeled-in the distance between it and the Antarctic Truth, and was soon speeding alongside her, a hundred metres to starboard, its torpedo fully-armed and ready for action.


“Prepare to fire,” ordered McMaster to the crew manning the torpedo tubes. “We’ve wasted enough time on these fools.”

Friday 9th September 2022 – Adam’s Posting


RAF Squadron Leader Adam Haylock, from Cambridge and based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, glanced nervously at his expensive Omega Seamaster Coaxial watch, a wedding gift from his ex-father-in-law, and with more than a hint of irritation stared at the second-hand in its customary sweep around the dial for almost thirty seconds.  The time was now 10.38am on this sunny but breezy early September morning in 2022 and he should have been out on a training mission but instead had been summoned to Group Captain Iain Moffat’s office for a ‘very important briefing’ at 10.30am.  Yet here he was in Moffat’s office, no sign of the captain as yet and not an inkling of what the briefing could be about. After nineteen years in the RAF, fifteen as a fully operational fighter pilot, with the last seven flying the Eurofighter Typhoon, he fully expected his senior officer to keep him waiting like this. He always did. They all did. A bunch of upper and middle-class manchildren with superiority complexes and a huge sense of entitlement who just loved to make a subordinate squirm and fidget.


Iain Moffat was the descendant of a long line of Moffat clan chieftains based around the Scottish border region of Dumfriesshire. He could trace his ancestry all the way back to Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland in the late 13th century—and way beyond. His wealthy parents, Sir Francis and Lady Isabelle had of course made sure that he received the best private education possible, culminating in a scholarship to St. Andrew’s University following which he maintained recent family tradition by joining the RAF, as was expected of him.


A further five whole and immensely frustrating minutes passed before Group Captain Moffat blustered through the door, powerfully slamming it shut behind him. A tall and stocky Scotsman, six-three, early fifties with a developing beer belly, he had been Adam’s Group Captain at Coningsby for just over three months. Adam knew very little about him, nor cared in the slightest about finding out. However, Moffat was his commanding officer and as such worthy of some respect, however superficial or begrudging that may be, so he slowly began to lift himself from his seat.


“Don’t stand, Haylock for heaven’s sake,” he snapped in his distinctive, mild Scottish lilt, “…no time for that bloody nonsense—but thanks for waiting. I’ve been reading the report I’ve been sent about you and your most recent escapades. Very enlightening I must say.”


“Enlightening sir?” Adam asked, looking puzzled.


“Yes, well…but before we go into any of that, I’d first like to say well done on your promotion to Squadron Leader. It says here you’ve got an exemplary, if rather unorthodox record and you’re certainly one of the very best Typhoon pilots we have. You fully deserve it, I think.”


“Thank you, sir,” replied Adam, somewhat unconvinced and sensing that he was being ‘damned with faint praise,’ as the old saying goes.


“...and it’s caught someone’s attention,” Moffat added. “Somebody very, VERY high up and as a result, you’re being assigned to Special Operations in the South Atlantic.” 


“The South Atlantic? What the hell is going on down there, sir? Falklands kicking-off again?”


“No, nothing to do with the Falklands or the Argies, thank God. Actually, it’s more Southern Ocean than South Atlantic,” he explained. “In fact, to be precise, it’s a Chilean installation called…” Moffat stared down at the report. “Teniente Rodolfo Marsh Martin Airbase on King George Island—latitude 62° south, over 500 miles off Tierra Del Fuego.  Ever heard of it, Squadron Leader?”


“No, I haven’t sir,” replied the young and by now rather puzzled airman. “I didn’t even know there were any military bases that far south.”


The senior of the two officers peered at his notes once more. “Well, technically, it’s not a military base Haylock but the Chilean Air Force have ‘loaned’ a couple of fighters to the U.N. who have deployed them there for the purposes of this operation.”


“But may I ask sir—why me precisely?” Adam enquired.


Moffat continued, “Well, apart from your top-notch flying ability and outstanding, though as I said earlier, unorthodox service history, you’re single. OK, divorced but with no children or living parents and very few close relatives.  You’re far less likely than most to get lonely down there and start missing people, which is vitally important given it’s going to be at least a twelve-month posting.” He glanced down at the report again. “And according to our records you are romantically unattached at the moment.  Is that correct?”


“Err…yes sir, that is correct—unfortunately.” Adam admitted, slightly embarrassed.  “So, these Chilean fighters, they won’t be Typhoons, will they? I mean, the Chilean Air Force don’t have them as far as I know.” He had quickly changed the subject to a topic more comfortable to him.


Moffat paused for a second, thinking.  “Well, no, you’re right. They don’t. They’re actually two ex-US Air Force F-5 Freedom Fighters from the 1960s they tell me—ancient as hell but, and I have no reason to doubt this, both aircraft are fully airworthy, well maintained—there’s a small crew down there looking after them—and combat-ready.  It’s a U.N. thing so they’re in their livery and you’re going to be flying one of them. You will receive full training when you get there but a man of your calibre will find them a piece of cake, I’m sure.”


“So, what’s the brief, sir?” asked Adam, looking and feeling rather perplexed. “Can you give me any more details, as it all sounds rather odd to me?”


Moffatt waved his hand dismissively. “Oh, you’ll find out exactly why soon enough Haylock but all I’ll say for now is it’s something to do with protecting and defending Antarctic airspace. Can’t really tell you any more than that for now. But don’t worry—although it’s bloody cold down there, most of the time below freezing I believe, the sun does still shine. Well, occasionally anyway.”


Adam paused for a while, wondering what on earth would be expected of him so far south in such a godforsaken part of the world. Then with a sly grin on his face asked, “And my exemplary yet unorthodox service history you mentioned earlier sir?” 


“Oh, I can’t be bothered with any of that malarkey right now Haylock,” answered the now preoccupied Group Captain, “...and I’m sure you can’t either. Look, I’m expected at another meeting in around ten minutes, so I need to get a bloody move on. Here are your transfer papers. All the very best young man and I’m sure it will be a very interesting posting. Dismissed, Squadron Leader.”


“Thank you very much indeed sir.” breathed Adam sarcastically to himself, standing and saluting as Moffat turned on his heels and strode manfully out of the office, slamming the door heavily again behind him, leaving Adam alone once more, puzzling at this sudden and very unexpected posting and intrigued by what the next few months would bring.

  

Chapter 3

Thursday 6th October 2022 – Adam’s Arrival at Teniente Rodolfo


On a bitterly cold, grey afternoon with light sleet falling, the lumbering RAF C130 Hercules transport touched down on runway two-niner at Base Teniente Rodolfo Marsh Martin Airbase, 62° south, five hundred and twenty miles off the tip of Tierra del Fuego in South America. The transport plane pulled on to the small, concreted apron area and shut down its four Allison T56 turboprops. The crew and its single passenger unbuckled their seatbelts and gathered their belongings together.


Just a few minutes later, Adam disembarked down the aircraft’s rear cargo ramp and surveyed the scene around him.  The base, which also served as a civilian airport for Antarctic sightseeing tourists, comprised a couple of white-painted hangars, a cluster of grey outbuildings which, he surmised, could be accommodation blocks, the odd freight container here and there and away to one side, the main control tower and terminal building. 


“Not a lot here,” thought Adam, “How the bloody hell will I last a year in this bloody dump?”

Surrounding the airbase the landscape, flat and greyish-brown with no trees or vegetation to be seen, stretched away from the coast to the north, south and east before giving way to snow covered mountains, their summits shrouded by the low-lying cloud.   It felt very chilly indeed, -2°C according to his newly-acquired smartwatch, so he zipped up his parka, pulled the fur-lined hood over his head, braced himself against the icy blast and walked briskly across the tarmac toward the terminal building. 


He entered by the door marked ‘Arrivals,’ finding himself in a room no larger than twenty feet square with a desk along the right-hand side under a sign stating, ‘Baggage Reclaim’ and a couple of Perspex-fronted booths on the left declaring themselves as ‘Passport Control.’ He paused momentarily, and as nobody was manning either the desk or the booths, decided to take the exit door at the far end. This led into what was obviously some sort of lounge area containing a small bar on the left, four low tables each with a set of well-worn armchairs around them, a pool table to the right and in the far corner, on the wall, an ancient, battered dart board that looked more like a pincushion than anything else.


Behind the bar, polishing glasses with a checked tea towel, stood a tall, stocky, bespectacled man, whom Adam assumed to be in his early fifties with greying blond hair, bald at the crown and interspersed by the odd wispy combover. Adam recognised him instantly. Wing Commander Prendergast from his time in Cyprus.


The familiar figure suddenly broke the silence.


“Good afternoon Haylock and welcome to the arse-end of nowhere. Good to have you back in my life again,” he declared cheerily but with more than a hint of sarcasm.  “As I’m sure you remember, my name is Prendergast, and I’m still Wing Commander Prendergast officially, but everyone here calls me Mike—or worse! I’ll be your superior officer throughout your time at Teniente Rodolfo but to be honest, my main job these days is manning the mess bar—and do you know, I’m bloody good at it too!” He put down the glass and tea towel and offered his hand across the bar. Adam stared at it and paused for a second before shaking it rather awkwardly. He normally greeted his superiors with a salute.


“Good afternoon, sir—sorry, Mike,” he replied. “Good to see you again after all these years,” he lied—reasonably convincingly, he hoped!


“Pint?” chirped Prendergast, “I can’t remember what your favourite tipple was back in Akrotiri? It’s a straight choice between Budweiser and Guinness here I’m afraid but they’re both on draught, which is good.”


“God, I could kill for a pint sir—err sorry, Mike. I’ll have a Bud please, if I may?”


“I’m sure you could old man, coming right up.” Prendergast poured a pint of the golden liquid into one of the recently and very meticulously polished glasses, poured himself a Guinness and then walked around the bar, setting the glasses down on one of the tables and beckoning Adam to take a seat.


“Cheers,” he declared, holding his pint aloft. “Here’s to…well, whatever.”


“Cheers… Mike,” Adam responded, clinking glasses with his commanding officer.


Both men took a large quaff from their respective glasses and Prendergast wiped the froth from his lips with his sleeve. “So, my friend, welcome to the arse-end of nowhere!” he repeated. “I’m sure you’re going to find it rather interesting down here with all that’s going on at the moment. It’s not for everyone I can tell you, which is why you’ve been specially selected.”


“We sure are a long way south here sir, so what exactly is the mission?” quizzed Adam.


“Well basically, we’re protecting the sixtieth parallel and the restricted Antarctic air space south of it,” Prendergast explained. “Been doing it since the late fifties actually and for most of that time it’s been pretty quiet down here. Just the odd incursion now and again. For some reason though, since 2020, there’s been a massive increase in people trying to get south of it and overfly the continent. Boats are pretty easy to deal with, the maritime patrol guys sort them out with little trouble but private executive jets have become a lot faster and have a greater range than they used to—so we’re finding ourselves a little busier than usual.”


“So it’s our job to scare them off then?” asked Adam, his curiosity growing. 


“Yes, and most of the time we’re successful,” Prendergast answered, slightly uneasily.


Adam didn’t like where this was going. Not one bit. “Most of the time sir… sorry, Mike?” he added, not really wanting to hear the obvious answer to that implied question.


Prendergast looked down awkwardly, pointedly ignoring the question and shuffled uneasily in his chair. “It says here you’re good at following tough orders so you’ll do just fine. Your F-5 training starts in two days so go settle in, your billet is room 3 in accommodation block A. Unpack, maybe take a shower, and meet back here at 17.00 hours. And guess what, there’s another reprobate in this God-forsaken hole who you’ll remember from those halcyon Akrotiri days—and he’s very much looking forward to meeting-up again.”
