Hi, very useful post, just one remark i had to make though, Wim Mertens is not French! he's Belgian and speaks dutch, not French.
Although the French have some great artists amongst them, Wim is Flemish :)
thanks for the great soundtrack hints !

A machinist I know in Kelowna BC has been hired to make parts for the fuel containment cylinders for the "big bell" which is supposed to be in Argentina.

I have worked up a little entry on Hyperborea and was hoping for permission to add the info in.
There is a perfectly lucid and rational explanation for the Nazi Bell. Where it was firstlocated by the nazis in Wenceslas Mine (near Walbrrzych today) on the border between lower Silesia and the Czech republic, there was also a mine producing Uranium and Thorium ores. Known then as Wustegiersdorf and now as Gluszyca.
Testimony about the Nazi Bell came to light from recently declassified Polish files from the war crimes trial of SS Lt Gen Jakob Sporrenberg. He described the centrifuge which spun mercury with a porcelain container placed at the axle containing "Xerum 525" compounds including Beryllium.
If you spin mercury inside a powerful electro-magnetic field the mercury will fluoresce to plasma as it gives off ions. If then you place Beryllium within that plasma field it will get excited and give off slow neutrons.
Place Thorium 232 with the Beryllium and then you have neutron capture turning the Thorium into Uranium 233 ready for use in nuclear weapons.
We only have to look at Iran today to understand why Argentina would describe such a device as for peaceful purposes and providing cheap nuclear power in a bottle. It would have actually made Argentina a nuclear weapons power in the 1950s had this project delivered.
Anyway that's my opinion and I am sure many will disagree or tell me it was an anti gravity engine or such like. I simply remind people that Dr Karl Wirtz who worked on Nazi Germany's nuclear bomb projects, also joined the team at Hualmuel island in Argentina. The Argentinians themselves always claimed it was a nuclear project and not an anti-gravity project.
We also have the previously classified report of the Argentine Economic Ministry which disclosed that in May 1945 a German multi engined transport plane arrived in northern Argentina and unloaded a Bell device.
This was in the days before the internet and before 1990 when Sporrenberg's testimony about the bell was revealed. Prior to this, nobody knew what the Nazi Bell was or had even heard of it, so why does it appear in an Argentine report from 1945?
I think that transhumanism has in a sense always had a place in the Mythos, Isn't that what all those Sorcerers we're trying to do? If you realize that being human is a losing proposition then trying to become post-human is a rational response. This really ties in to the Cult motivation discussion, from their perspective they are trying to help. If Humanity is doomed staying as it is then to "save" humanity we must become more like the mythos.
Especially true with the sharp rise of public surveillance in the UK. The AotTE is going to need hackers to turn that surveillance against the enemy. They could also use a mad superhero… "Goodnight England. Goodnight Home Service and V for Victory. Hello Severn Aerospace and V for Victorian trepanation technology."

My impression of the Army is somewhat at odds with the description.
Really, I don't think its as proffessional as its being portrayed, its certainly no PIRA. It doesn't have access to external training or finances which means its skills and tradecraft are self tought, just as PIRA's was in the 70's.
Its worth noting while PIRA achieved some of its most notable successes during this period (Warrenpoint for example) it also suffered an extremely high level of attrition because activity any activity is observable, this is especially true when your tradecraft is particulalrly hot or self taught.
Oh and unknowns only remain unknown if they stay out of sight, I guarrantee if a member of the Army were to start regulalry observing SAeS establishments for example they wouldn't remain unknown for very long.
Which means the armies activities have to be really low key passive observation. In otherwords the Army is pretty much a wet squib, they have information they simply can't act upon it without Special Branch/PISCES giving them a thorough going over.
The Count of Saint Germain (an actual 18th century person) was likewise surrounded by fantastic rumors including immortality, which he encouraged by casual reference to them, similar to how Alzis refers to his own prior "deaths". This stylistic resemblance is striking. And the truth about the Count remains a mystery to this day.
Anyone got any idea how to get in touch with this guy?

But then we get bogged down in "Is Shub-Niggurath an Outer God or a Great Old One" type arguments.

Is this really appropriate, though? I mean, Outer Gods are a different order of being than Great Old Ones…

Actually, Great Old Ones share a page with Outer Gods, which does exist.
