We are a couple of days until Nine Eleven, 2025.  It's been 24 years since the collapse of the Twin Towers.  This sarcastic Maniac Nebula post is from 2017:

==========

Nineteen guys with box cutters outwit the best military in world history.  They become the best pilots the world has ever known simply by training to fly baby airplanes.  Their leader is some tall Arab on dialysis in some remote country known for its poppies and heroine trade.  He trains his armies on monkey bars.  United States intelligence can't find him anywhere.

Somehow, his fleet of magical pilots armed with their box cutters all manage to hijack separate jumbo jets.  They crash three of the four into significant targets: each of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.  Never in world history has a steel-framed skyscraped collapsed but on this special day, THREE OF THEM DID!  AND ONLY TWO WERE HIT!   None have collapsed since then, either, although fires raged in Madrid, Caracas and other places.  But it doesn't end there!  Never has any commercial plane wrecked and left no debris behind.  But?  On this special day of September 11, 2001, both non-NY crashes left behind no fuselage, engine, or landing gear!  What a special day!  Vaporized in Shanksville and DC!  Did I mention that the three towers in New York fell in their own footprint demolition style?

Then?  Seven of the magical hijackers turn up ALIVE in foreign countries after the FBI pegged them for their involvement.  Somehow, people realize Saudi Arabia was involved in the planning and others noticed Israeli Mossad elements, so what happens next?  If you said "investigation", you would be wrong!  That didn't begin until 441 days later with a proposed funding of less than $5 million!  But it becomes clear that Saddam Hussein has to go!  Otherwise, another Nine Eleven might happen!  Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden is outsmarting everyone in Afghanistan or Pakistan or wherever he was moseying around.  And he's sending these ominous VHS tapes of his army trained on the monkey bars.  PURE TERROR!!!!  We've got to stop him!  "Let's give up our liberties and feed the Military Industrial Complex with gobs of money!!!" everyone seems to be shouting.  And just when we thought the terror was over, they blew up bombs in London on July 7, 2005.  Coordinated attack.  Nothing fishy about it.  "FEED THE SECURITY STATE MORE!!!!" people around the world chanted.  And this seemed to do the trick because a few short years later, we NABBED OSAMA!  Turns out he was kicking it in Pakistan watching VHS videos of himself!  So they shoot the guy in the face and the nightmare is finally over!!!  Did I mention in the days after Nine Eleven, the bin Ladens got a personal escort out of America by the US Air Force?  Anywho, small detail!  What's important is they finally caught the mastermind of Nine Eleven and they had his body on a United States naval ship.  His monkey bar soldiers would no longer be under be under his mind control.  People of the Free World could rest again.  Closure was on its way.  What makes more sense than plopping Osama's body into the ocean and putting it all behind us?  His buddy, Saddam, was already hung and now we could end the war in Afghanistan and bring all the troops home.

But wait a second!  Osama's guys never quit!  They are like Jason Vorhees from the Friday the 13th movies and they just won't die!  First they're the Taliban, then al Qaeda, and finally ISIS!  Just when we thought it was over, they sucked us back in!  They hate our freedoms that bad!  Not to mention that they each get 72 virgins for fighting the United States and its allies in this holy war!  Thankfully, the USA and UK have the most competent leaders the world has ever known.  It might seem silly to pour billions into training foreign fighters who wind up ditching the guns and Humvees we provided, but there's a method to their madness!  Keep in mind, folks! Another Nine Eleven never happened again under the leadership of George W Bush! For that, he's a hero!  Mission accomplished!  And another Nine Eleven didn't happen under the leadership of Dick Cheney's cousin, Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro!  These guys have saved us from another Nine Eleven so when they ask for your taxes and liberties, GIVE IT TO THEM!  Don't ask why!  It's not patriotic and these guys are specialists!  National security, okay?  That's all you need to know!  National security!  They have their reasons.  Only libtards would question their motivatons!  And commies!  Sit tight!  They're doing their jobs!

Whole lot of tinkering going on, prepping invitation lists, and so on and so forth.  Perhaps guest posting in a week or two.

Every year, I make a bet with Autumn Wind about who's team will win more games.  I like our chances this year, and I pick us to win 9 games,
and the Raiders will win 7.  I'm sick of getting caught in the delusional cycle, though, especially with Micah Parsons gone.  Kenny Clark might
be a great fit in the middle of the defensive line, but we'll be lucky to make the playoffs.  A few years ago, they were calling our division
the "NFC Least" because everyone sucked.  It's one of the best, now, and I think there's too much competition.  I'm still hopeful, but damn!
We missed out on Saquon Barkley last year!  And Derrick Henry!  Pay these guys what they deserve!  And don't dilly dally until the last minute
to sign players!  Micah would've signed for $38 million a year if he was paid right when he was eligible for an extension!  Geez!

September 3, 2025

Hey There,

I joined Maniac Nebula as a social forum many years ago.  Maniac Nebula has had a profound affect on my life.  I was lost (and I’m not saying I’m not lost now) and it gave me direction.  It gave me friends I otherwise wouldn’t have had.  I started writing an autobiography in 2018, and it went to the backburner.  I’ll explain all of this right now.

My name is Braden Callypso.  I didn’t tell anyone my real name for a long, long time.  You’re not supposed to at conspiracy forums.  Why?  Because we’re studying the secrets of powerful people, and TPTB would just as soon that we all shut up, curl in a ball, and stay in a corner.  They’re always trying to figure out who we are.  After they find out, weird stuff starts to happen.  My autobiography is called Blunder.  You’ll have to read it for further details.

When I first joined Maniac Nebula, I was shocked.  The personalities were amazing!  The first girl who would talk to me was Faded Mars Morticia.  Her avatar was hilarious!  It was a chick flipping the bird to whoever was taking her picture.  She posted a lot of music videos, and she liked Eek a Mouse.  That kind of got me into reggae.  I followed in her footsteps, and I took interests in things she was interested in.  She was big into alternate timelines, for example.  Long story short, Faded Mars Morticia decided to out herself one day!  She changed her screen name to her real life first name!  I was impressed, and it’s a stage not everyone reaches.  My name is Braden Callypso, and it took years for me to feel comfortable with who I was to these Maniacs at the Nebula.

I had a horrible relationship with my father in 2018, and I was trying to make things better.  That’s one of the reasons I started writing Blunder.  They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  I figured if I could tell my dad exactly how I felt, we could work through our issues.  It was important to me, and for a while, I thought it was going to work.

It didn’t work.

The whole thing blew up in my face.  I thought about “Blunder” as a mantra.  I thought about real life blunders in sports and engineering.  Bill Buckner’s flub with the baseball going through his legs in the World Series against the Mets comes to mind.  Scott Norwood missing the kick at the end of the Bills/ Giants Super Bowl.  There’s a lot of things that are in our collective minds, and all of us desperately don’t want to be remembered that way.  None of us wants to make a blunder so huge that it defines who we are.  I thought about engineering blunders.  There was a bridge that was poorly designed, and it started wavering during a storm.  The bridge didn’t make it, and it collapsed.  As I write this in 2025, I watched something tragic in a YouTube short clip.  Somewhere in Asia, they had a thrill ride which swung people over the side of a cliff.  So many things are AI-generated now, that I couldn’t know if this was real or not, but the contraption didn’t hold.  The ride lost its mounting, and it was lunged into a deep canyon along with people inside.  Tragic.  And a blunder.

I started Blunder, my autobiography, in 2018.  I was giving my dad copies of it as I went along.  Was this wise?  I’m not sure, but I’ll repeat that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  My relationship with him was already bad, and my hope was that he could identify problems we had.  We could work on them, and our relationship would cease to be dysfunctional.  Shit hit the fan, and I wound up bouncing around the country, and the world.  Without spoiling the book, I’ll say that politics had something to do with it.  You’ll have to read for details, but his politics were more important than family.  I write about that, and I can’t emphasize it enough.  It’s sad.  Our world is polarized, and I don’t believe it was always this way in our culture.  I had a shaky relationship with my sister, Chloe, and I wind up writing about it at the end of Blunder.  I take a crack at creative writing, and I wrote as a character named Doug.  I hope you enjoy it.

Besides Faded Mars Morticia, I became friends with Space Ghost.  We didn’t get along at the beginning, but we met up in real life.  He had issues with his father, as well.  His issues were different than mine, though.  His father disappeared in 2003.  He was sailing near Madagascar, and his ship vanished.  Most people believe it sank, but others speculated there was a dimension door it went through, much like the Bermuda Triangle.  Why?  There was a survivor named Desmond Severns.  He was a physics teacher, and when he was discovered, his hair had turned gray, and he claimed he was away for ten thousand years!  Wow!  Right?  Are we supposed to believe him though?  Do you believe every single person who says they were abducted by aliens, then anal probed?

I hope you like Blunder.  If you’re new to Maniac Nebula, and the rest of these conspiracy forums, it’ll give you a clue about what goes on here.  I know I’ve been told that Sheeple Gateway is not a conspiracy forum.  It’s a middle ground between the Sheeple and the Theorists, but if you stick around long enough, you’ll hear a tale or two about the Illuminati and other world powers.  You’ll hear some strange stories about Sasquatch.  Someone might even suggest you meet up at Area 51.  Those kinds of things happen when you’re around this crowd.

The last thing I wanted to mention was Rod.  He’s a guy from Maniac Nebula, and Rod is a nickname he had since childhood.  He was working on his own autobiography, and he inspired me to finish my own.  Like I said, I started Blunder, things with my dad went South, I started bouncing around, and Blunder started collecting dust.  I met up with Rod in Las Vegas in 2021.  We decided to write a three-part book.  He would finish his work (it took him until Labor Day in 2023), I would finish mine, and we’d do something jointly in the middle.  The result was Rod, Vegas, Blunder.  If you go to the home page of:

brick-jayne.com

... there’s a copy there.  Today is the first day I’m releasing my portion separate from his.  Why did I wait so long?  I’m not really sure.  My dad is out of my life, and Blunder as a project didn’t go as I hoped.  I’m okay with this, though.  I don’t want to live a lie, and I know where I stand.  Like I said, in these polarized times, people have chosen politics over family.  I believe my dad did that with me, and it’s something I’ve dealt with.  I have enough closure that I don’t lose sleep.  Lastly, I wanted to mention that Blunder delves into some of the conspiracies we talked about back in 2018.  There was an issue with insane wildfires.  We discussed Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs), and HAARP which allegedly was involved in beaming thoughts into people’s brains!  We discussed Remote Neural Monitoring, and we discussed space aliens!  It’s a fun read, but there’s serious issues underneath.

Glad To Be Here,

-- Braden Callypso

In Spring of last year, a bunch of us from Maniac Nebula got emails from Demented, the site operator.  He wanted to know what our take on the 2024 election was.  Mostly, he was soliciting from mods, and I was no longer a mod.  I wanted to respond, though, and here's what I wrote:

March 3, 2024

Aloha, Bonjour, Konnichiwa,
Ciao, Guten Tag, Privet,
Anyeong, and Ola …

How are you Maniacs doing?  It’s me, Bone Face, your favorite former moderator!  Space Ghost is working on some kind of thesis about why you should vote for Robert Kennedy Jr in November.  He told me that of the three candidates, RFK Jr would fit here at Maniac Nebula the best!  Why?  Because we’re maniacs!  He comes from a family of maniacs!  His uncle, JFK, fought the Federal Reserve and said,

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence; on infiltration instead of invasion; on subversion instead of elections; on intimidation instead of free choice; on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day …”

This quote was one of the reasons I joined this site.  There’s an irony, though.  Why is it that the real forum is at a different location?  Why do you need an embedded link to get there?  Why do you need a recommendation from a mod?  Or pass a test from Demented?

As we study conspiracies, we create our own.  What an irony!  The word “Jerusalem” means “City of Peace” but it’s known for violence.  Another irony!  When Trump first ran for president in 2015 he said,

“I don’t need anybody’s money.  It’s nice.  I don’t need anybody’s money.  I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists.  I’m not using donors.  I don’t care.  I’m really rich …”
Today, he puts out ads where he begs for five, ten, twenty-five dollars from poor people!  My sister is one of those people!  I know how she lives!  She’s broke, but she’s sending this loser money!  I hate it!

So is this another irony?  You be the judge.

I got into conspiracies because I knew they were there.  Before I heard about the Carnivore program, I intuitively knew the government was scanning emails for certain trigger words.  Before I heard of Edward Snowden, I knew the government was over reaching its powers.  And I speculated they were using psychic spies before I heard of RNM, remote neural monitoring.  I don’t trust the government!  I haven’t since I was a child.

As for politicians, I don’t trust them, either.  If my life was on the line and I could call a used car salesman or a politician to save me, I would call the used car salesman one hundred percent of the time.  The thing I discovered in life is that you become the thing you hate.

“Whomsoever I’ve cured
I’ve sickened now
And whomsoever I’ve cradled
I’ve put you down
I’m a search light soul they say
But I can’t see it in the night
I’m only faking when I get it right
When I get it right …”
— Fell On Black Days by Soundgarden

This site has gone through this.  You talk to people who have been here from the beginning.  We studied JFK and we were repulsed by the repugnant nature of the Establishment pawning us around in the shadows.  This used to be an open forum to the public!  I became a moderator and I dealt with all kinds of new members.  There were “know it alls” with esoteric understandings.  There were true maniacs!  These people operated with many screws loose, and they weren’t faking!  There were misguided people who thought they knew what was “really going on” but they were way off.  There were casual people with natural curiosities.  These people came together and I was glad to moderate their discussions.

Then there were the trolls and shills.  I think they did the site in.  At some point, there was a decision to create some kind of standard about who would be accepted to Maniac Nebula.  We became another one of those repugnant secret societies and that’s when I let Demented know I no longer wanted to moderate.

I’m not a religious person but I’ve picked up a lot of religious rhetoric from moderating religious discussion.  There’s a point when Jesus and his Apostles feel defeated.  This is the root of when Judas starts to turn to the dark side.  Jesus asks who they think he is.  Judas responded that he’s a great teacher, but Simon Peter went to the highest level. 
“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
— Mathew 16:16

Later on, they start to lose followers.  They’re sitting around and Jesus asks the Apostles if they’re going to leave him as well.  Simon Peter responds, “To whom shall we go?”
I quit as a moderator at this site and I tried to stay away for a few months.  It was hard to do.  I created a sock account and I peeked in once in a while.  Wacky Taffy knew about this.  She’s one of my best friends.  I would hardly post, but it drove me nuts.  I had to be part of the Maniac Nebula again.  I revived my Bone Face name and I started to talk to the guys like the old days.  I was offered a moderator position, but I turned it down.  Discussions can get trite.  Too often, you must make judgements between two people you equally like.  Also, it gets to be like a high school where clicks form and they bully under-represented voices.  I don’t miss that part.

Space Ghost wanted me to chip in my two cents about the 2024 election.  This does not mean I plan to be a mod again, by the way.  It only means I poke my head above water, now and then.  People who know me understand my beliefs.  The motto of this site is, “Conspiracies, Extra-Terrestrials, and Good Times.”  The conspiracies don’t produce good times for me any longer.  Maybe that’ll change.  My stance has always been that the United States no longer exists as a functioning democracy since the implementation of the PNAC document which led to the destruction of the Twin Towers.  By showing up to voting booths, you are casting a vote for deception and corruption.  In 2013, Jimmy Carter said the United States has no functioning democracy, so it’s not just me.  It doesn’t matter who you mark on the ballot.  The purity of our system is gone.

I want to change my mind.  I really do.  Demented posted a John Oliver critique of the United States Supreme Court.  Very disheartening stuff.  When Donald Trump failed to get SCOTUS to overturn the 2020 election, he said they chickened out.  This dude is the definition of a man child!

When I was a kid, I played Little League baseball.  One day, I was watching my neighbor pitch.  I had played a game just before and I was still in uniform watching from behind the backstop fence.  It was a classic situation with two outs in the last inning where our school’s bully was at the plate with a runner on third and a chance to tie.

My neighbor struck the bully out, and the bully started to cry.

I walked to school with my neighbor the next morning and the bully was waiting for us at the gate.  The bully socked my neighbor in the stomach.  “Don’t tell anyone what happened!” he said.  Of course, word got around because other people from school were also there watching.  I watched the bully wiff really bad when he struck out, but the bully told a story that he went down looking.  The pitch was obviously a ball way outside of the strike zone.  The umpire had it in for him.  And when asked why he cried, he said he didn’t.  He was rubbing dirt out of his eyes.

Donald Trump threw the biggest tantrum in world history! He is a bully who doesn’t use logic well so he resorts to taunting and name-calling.  According to him, the Supreme Court chickened out last election.  I was proud back then that they “chickened out” and I was proud that Mike Pence “didn’t have the courage” to bail on the Constitution on Jamuary 6, 2021. Of the three branches of government, the Supreme Court was the last bastion of purity and decency.  It showed cracks when Antonin Scalia handed the 2000 election to his conservative ally, George W Bush.  Now?  Lawyer Alina Habba says Brett Kavanaugh will “step up” for Trump as a quid pro quo favor.  What bullshit!  Right?  You can’t make this stuff up!  The corruption is beyond repair.  It doesn’t matter who the next president is.

The bully who struck out became a good guy, by the way.  In high school, he got into ska music and became somewhat effeminate.  After we graduated, he became manager of a KFC.  He used to give me free chicken wings.  I think guilt ate him.  It’s too late for Donald Trump, though.  He will die as a man child.  I fear it’s too late for the United States of America as well.  How can the corruption end?

The motto of this site is still important to me.  Conspiracies, Extra-Terrestrials, and Good Times.  I didn’t sit down today to write a lengthy piece about politics.  It happened, though.  I was going to brush it off and get straight to the good times.  Otherwise, the terrorists win, right?  I watched a music video just before sitting down to type.  It was a mush up of Judas Priest and Michael Jackson.  “Billy Jean’s Got Another Thing Coming” didn’t set in too well with me for the first few seconds, but I gave it a chance.  I liked it!  I wound up liking the song.  Besides conspiracies, there’s a couple of great threads at Maniac Nebula:  The kitten memes, and the music one. I hope you enjoy the song …

Yours Truly,
Bone Face

So I sent emails to Maniac Nebula mods.  I hope they show up here and share their stories ...

Hello Guys !!

It’s me, Brick Jayne.  I want to talk to the Noobs before I talk to anyone else.

What is Sheeple Gateway?  Well, I’m close with Homer Cocktail.  We’ve been kicking around this idea for quite some time.  I’ve written three fiction novels since 2013:  Thermite, Kiribati, and Cretins.  “Brick Jayne” is my pseudonym, and I eventually released these books with my birth name.  In the coming months, The Running Man will have a new movie version.  The Running Man was originally written as Richard Bachman.  Nobody knew Stephen King was using a pseudonym, but somebody outed him.  When a movie version came out in 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, everyone knew Stephen King was behind the story, but if memory serves me correct, the credits still stated it was based off fiction from Richard Bachman.

When I was writing Thermite in 2013, I was in the process of becoming a bona fide conspiracy theorist.  I used to search Above Top Secret and sites like that.  I used their crazy theories in my work, and I dabbled in other sites.  There was TOP, and there was t h e - r e f u g e e s .  << We always had to write it that way because unscrupulous actors would search the internet, then they’d troll us if they found out what we were up to.  Anyhow, these sites come and go, and it’s sad.  We spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours at these sites engaging in dialogue, proposing theories, and developing relationships.

THEN POOF !!!!!

All gone!  So I considered myself a Red Pill person when I was on Above Top Secret.  Before this, I was a Blue Pill person at MySpace.  I was a Sheeple.  It’s okay to be a Sheeple, though.  What’s a Sheeple?  Well, Sheep plus People gets you Sheeple.  I was led along by idiots, not knowing they were akin to the scared wizard from the Wizard of Oz.  I decided to try to know things for myself!

Sheeple Gateway might no be what you think it is, because it operates in different directions.  There are millions of people out there who look at our world, they know it’s messed up, and they want to know why.  Nothing functions the way it’s supposed to.  Lies are told, then more lies need to be spread because nothing aligns with the root lies to begin with.  People get fed up, and they stop taking the Blue Pill every day.  They begin a journey down the Rabbit Hole, but it’s scary.  Not everyone is friendly in the Rabbit Hole, and not everyone has your best interest at heart.  Nonetheless, people don’t want to live their whole lives in ignorance, so they give it a try.

When you leave the mainstream world, you might end up in the Abyss.  It’s a place where it’s hard to find people you’ve lost.  It’s the Island of Misfit Toys, and places like that.  People took the Red Pill, and they’ve been traveling down the Rabbit Hole for so long that they’re questioning Life.  They miss Home.  They want to talk to people they lost touch with.  They want an ordinary Life again, if even for a short period.

Sheeple Gateway is a place where you can come to figure things out.  It’s meant to be safe enough for Normies that you won’t abruptly change your existence overnight.  You’re not going to wind up on a city street corner with a cardboard sign warning the public that alien invasion is imminent.  But you can gain some clues to help you make better sense of our planet.  On the other end, people have been in the Abyss for so long that they need a middle ground.  It’s hard, if not impossible, to ever come completely back once your realize the secrets of TPTB, but you can come close.  You can talk to loved-ones who chose a different path.

Is this the Purple Pill?  A mix between Blue and Red?  Is it a Pill with a Blue/ Red swirl?  Who knows?  It’s meant to be fun, though.  We wouldn’t be doing these things if we weren’t enjoying ourselves.  If have books to share.  They’re at my website:

brick-jayne.com

You can read PDFs of Thermite, Kiribati, and Cretins.  Perhaps later, I’ll share the links to where you can buy them at Lulu.com .  Homer Cocktail works on AI music.  That’s been his kick since 2025 started.  He’ll probably share his work.  I like it, actually.

And why Necro Bot?  For the Noobs, “necro bumping” in bulletin board conspiracy forums is when a member takes a thread from months or years ago, and bumps it, almost without rhyme or reason.  Well?  I’ve talked to Homer Cocktail.  We’re going to necro bump!  After all, we lost gigabytes of conversations and speculations when Above Top Secret went down.  Some of us saved our old stuff.  Jade Helm 15, a military operation from 2015, was a big deal to me.  I know I have that somewhere in my personal archives.  I’ll share it if I see fit.  The other thing we’ll be different about is socks.  So I want to make clear:

NECRO BOT IS A SOCK ACCOUNT !!!!!!

And at Sheeple Gateway, this is a good thing.  I will have my own Brick Jayne account.  Homer Cocktail will have his own account.  We will share Necro Bot when we have shit from the attic we think might be relevant.  For that matter, it might not be relevant at all!  We have our own personal attics, and sometimes we simply need to clear them out!  I have old notebooks which have storylines that never made it into books.  I need to get some of these things out of my brain!  Their relevance is gone, but they haunt me.

So, welcome!  To all the Noobs out there, I hope you like this place.  There’s no way to know if this site will take off and become what we hope it will.  Demented has floated the idea of creating a new Maniac Nebula site.  That might happen, or it might not.  In the mean time, enjoy yourself.  Think about those aliens flying secretly above us.  Think about partying with Sasquatch!  I think about that all the time!  Have yourself a beer, or whatever suits your fancy.  I’ll be around.  I hope this takes off ...

-- Necro Bot

Whazzzup, Guys !!!
