The author of
Darkness Over Tibet
(often colloquially referred to as "Darker Tibet") is Theodore Illion.
Illion was a German traveler and writer who published his accounts of secret expeditions into the Himalayas during the 1930s. His books are famous for their blend of travelogue and high-adventure mysticism, featuring secret societies and hidden underground cities—themes that heavily influenced the "pulp" adventure style of Indiana Jones.
His most relevant noscripts from that era include:

In Secret Tibet (1937): Illion's account of entering Tibet in disguise to explore its forbidden regions.
Darkness Over Tibet (1938): A more supernatural narrative where he claims to have discovered a secret underground city inhabited by an "occult hierarchy".

Other Notable Authors of the Era:

Henning Haslund-Christensen: Wrote In Secret Mongolia (1934) and Men and Gods in Mongolia (1935).
Alexandra David-Neel: Author of Magic and Mystery in Tibet (1929) and My Journey to Lhasa (1927), chronicling her illegal entry into the forbidden city.
Ferdinand Ossendowski: Wrote Beasts, Men and Gods (1922), which popularized the myth of the subterranean kingdom of Agartha in Mongolia and Tibet.

My dad was always an "If you got up there on your own, you can get down on your own" sort of man.

Fantastic father.

Terrible air traffic controller.

Cancellation of St Patrick’s Day Celebrations in Dundalk 🤦🏼‍♀️

You won't wake up anyone who wants to sleep.
So stop bending over backwards.
Stop explaining.
Stop wasting your energy.
Not everyone is ready for the truth.
Not everyone wants to see.
Some would rather cling to their comfort
than to their freedom.
And that's not your fight.

We live in a time when masks are falling off.
When lies are crumbling.
When systems are faltering.
The world is about to get loud.
Turbulent. Shocking.

And that's exactly when people will start asking questions.
Not because you've convinced them.
But because life itself is shaking them awake.
You're not here to proselytize.
You're here to stand firm.
Clear. Aware. Unshakable.

Be a lighthouse, not a lifeboat.
A lighthouse doesn't chase after anyone.
It stands.
It burns.
It shows the way.
Those who are ready will come on their own.
And those who aren't will go their own way.

Conserve your energy.
~AH~

A lighthouse saves, without asking.
A lighthouse protects, without fighting.
A lighthouse guides, without pulling.

Murder and MI5: How an extraordinary battle erupted over what the state keeps secret https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1w94v205y2o The former Met Police chief Lord Stevens, who led UK government-commissioned investigations into collusion in Northern Ireland between the 1980s and 2000s, once said that of 210 people arrested during his enquiries, only three were not state agents.

My biggest mistake this morning was challenging death to a pillow fight.

I was NOT prepared for the reaper cushions...
