[Music] In 2017, a user named Michael 84 posted on votes about a creepy website he discovered. The post is titled, "What the [ __ ] is this? " and reads as follows.
I was using Google to search for James A Corp as it is part of JA's or James Alphantis' email address. James a corp@gmail. com.
It took me to this site. Very weird site full of email addresses and a disturbing picture. You should really check it out for yourself.
When I open the site on my mobile, it wants to download something and open it with Google Play. Haven't done that yet. I changed the URL to this.
That's even weirder. Although the post was quickly deleted, those who were able to see it were exposed to one of the strangest and potentially most dangerous rabbit holes on the internet. This is LH HQ.
Before we can dive into this strange website, understand that some of the pages contain bright flashing colors, nudity, and even talks of MK Ultra and mind control. I'm going to be censoring a lot of that in this video, but if you choose to visit the site, you have been warned. All right, let's dive in.
When you first visit lhq. info, everything seems to be pretty normal at first. There's no flashing lights or disturbing images, and we learn that LHQ stands for Laughing Horse's Orphice Headquarters.
However, in the bottom left corner, we see some text that looks like gibberish and an image of a very youngl looking girl with a gun. Acts of embryo owners of a local ballot to sources acting HQw gibberish gibberish gibberish. I have no idea what this is trying to say.
And before you ask, I tried putting the gibberish through the Caesar cipher, but nothing came up. Clicking on the image, however, leads to this page. This website contains even more text that's either hard to interpret or even secretly hidden.
What's odd is that almost every image and every block of text leads to a page containing a video. As I've stated earlier, I'll be editing out some of the flashing lights, but this video does talk about mind control. I doubt anything bad will really happen, but if you're not a fan of stuff like that, feel free to skip to here.
All right, let's take a look. The message is now part of and registered in your subconscious mind. Every time you say, see, hear, or think, get your key frames.
It will trigger the entire message without you being aware of it. It will signal your subconscious mind, flashing a message. and a great The subconscious will listen and absorb this message.
Exactly. Pull your wallet out of your PRAISE BOB. PRAISE BOB.
The feminist dupes of the conspiracy charge that not enough members are women. Bob would agree to that. Indeed, he would say there will never be enough women.
But at least the ones we have are all woman. And Bob, Bob is all man. The James Bond of Zen Masters, the most dashing religious leader of his time.
At first, I was taken back by some of the flashing lights and talks of mind control in the beginning of the video. Towards the end, I began asking myself, who is Bob? And why does this video seem to regard him as some type of god?
I thought this was a lead, but as some of you may have guessed by now, this video came from the Church of the Subgenius, a popular parody religion in the counterculture scene. According to one Reddit user, the religion combines theology, conspiracy theory, subversion of middle class, and mainstream values, inherently becoming somewhat bizarre. The Church of the Subgenius actually has nothing to do with LHQ besides having one of their videos on their site.
In fact, you can find a handful of videos on LHQ. Some that seem to critique or even mock events like 9/11. Others that appear to be quite old and some avanguard art pieces all without any form of accreditation besides LHQ.
Therefore, it's likely that the creators behind these videos are also behind LHOQ. The only problem is that no one seems to know who these actors are, but more on that in a moment. Scattered throughout their web pages, and there are a lot of them, are various documents, images, and references to US politics and conspiracies.
I'm into conspiracies, but I can't make out what some of this info is. Over the years, LHQ has periodically popped up on 4chan boards and Reddit threads, usually from people asking what the hell this website is. Some users believe it to be hiding elicit material that can only be obtained by clicking through the correct path of links.
Others say it's some sort of mind control experiment or simply a honeypot for the FBI. Reddit user Web of Slime claims that the site contains information that if reported on would bring the US government to a halt, but states that you need the brains to do so. And of course, there are those who believe it to be an ARG.
Before long, a collection of around 200 pages were gathered by 4chan users, though some claim that the total number of pages are in the thousands. [Music] Let's talk about what's probably the most well-known thing about LHQ, the leaks. On several pages, you'll find the emails, phone numbers, and even addresses of many people who I'm assuming are all politicians, considering that both Bill and Hillary Clinton's information can be found.
I want to remind everybody that there could very well be some serious consequences in contacting the people involved and I highly advise against doing so. I'm just here to take you on the journey I went through while exploring this website. The first of these pages shows an eerily youngl looking woman smiling and dancing in front of a background comprised of several people's contact information.
Below her are two options. Click here and don't click here. Fearing for my life, I decided to go on click here, which led me to a page with a blue robot lady with a baby doll.
There's more contact information on the background of the page, as well as an image of former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak. And this page is quite long. I'm not quite sure what to say about it other than it's pretty creepy.
Keep in mind that the lights are flashing and there's even music [Music] by clicking on almost anywhere. You are then led to a page that I can't even show. Just know that it contains a lot of images of sex dolls both on the page and in the background and even more contact information below it.
The fourth and final page is the don't click here option. If you decide to click on there, you get a listing of more politicians, including current President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, featuring phone numbers, emails, and addresses accompanied by a map.
It appears as though that unlike the other pages, this page simply contains screenshots from Intellia's Premiere, a public service that lets you perform background checks on people, including date of birth, relatives, and even past addresses and employment history. So, it's not like this is all super confidential or anything. It's just that whoever is behind LHQ must have spent a lot of time collecting everything.
Or maybe he didn't. While showing this website to a friend, we noticed something odd. A lot of the information has auto added or phone unatategorized in parenthesis, meaning that a good portion of this data, if not all, could have been simply gathered by a bot.
The only question now is where did the data come from? Well, the images on the Intellia premiere page make it clear that this was taken in 2016, which is roughly around the time Wikileaks was publishing all those leaked emails. It's likely that whoever created these particular pages did so when the Wikileaks email scandal was happening through maybe the use of a bot.
As the final nail in the coffin, the earliest saved archive of the other three pages according to the Wayback Machine is September 11th, 2016. [Music] What's interesting to note is that one 4chan user was able to find the very first mention of LHQ from way back in 2007. On a forum post from above topsecret.
com, a user known as Alex M posted this message. Today, while walking down the street with friends, I discovered a sheet of paper with a strange symbol on it taped to the side of a small billboard. For whatever reason, it striked me as extremely weird.
So, I pocketed it with the hope of discovering what it meant. Is it a riddle? Just a symbol?
I have no idea, but hopefully someone here will recognize something from it. Here's a picture of the symbol. On the bottom of the hexagon is a cobra inside of a circle.
In the center of the pentagon maze is an I. Around the outside of the hexagon are the letters HQ, LH, and O in that order. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
I guess what strikes me most beyond the fact that it is weird as hell is the creepy eye in the center. Reminds me of the Illuminati eye. On a semi-related note, I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Although the links are now broken and don't lead to anything, this is what I believe the symbol was. Despite it not having a cobra inside of a circle, we see a pentagon containing a maze with the eye of Horus in the center surrounded by a hexagon with the letters Lhq on the outside. Commenters on the forum post tried coming up with theories, and one user posted an old LHQ page that is only accessible through the Wayback Machine.
I think I found your answer. In Milwaukee, there is an organization called Laughing Horses Orphice Headquarters, LH H O HQ, starting from L at the top. Not sure what they're into, but they seem kind of out there.
Found a couple of websites, and you can search and find some MySpace pages as well. The second link posted by this user is very much still active as it seems to have last been updated on April 13th, 2020. The text seems to just be a copy and paste of the policy and rules from MLP poll, which is an odd combination of the MLP board and the politically incorrect board.
Getting back to Alex's post, the most notable thing about it is the fact that the OP mentioned Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This location could be the possible birthplace of LHQ. Otherwise, how else would their symbol on a piece of paper end up being taped to a billboard there?
Unless they did it personally. Let's head back to the main page. You might have noticed these four seemingly useful links.
Advertising, products, about, and contact. Advertising leads to a seemingly endless stream of documents and one video. I haven't gone through it all, but there's a lot of them and could make up the bulk of the 200 plus pages on the site.
products contain most but not all of the videos about which I thought could contain information about LHOQ but all it says is laughing horse's orphice is dedicated to the highest possible quality product. Our standards of excellence always involve our vision to grow our product going forward and to ensure our corporate vision is always our top priority. And then it repeats.
The links on the side lead to a rabbit hole of other pages with flashing lights and nudity. And finally, contact, which lets users post whatever comment they want. On some of the pages containing a video, there is a link that says photo by DM.
Clicking on it leads to a blog post page belonging to a person called Dimmitri Muskovski. The page is apparently in Indonesian according to my Google Translate and is empty. However, a quick Google search will lead you to some of Dimmitri's art on WordPress and Flickr.
I can't show a lot of his work on this video because there's also a lot of nudity, but on the bottom of his WordPress page are a set of links that he shared, one of which being LHQ. [Music] Furthermore, on his Flickr page, he makes mention of the Milwaukee River in Wisconsin. This seemed promising.
So, I sent Dmitri an email asking for any information he had on LHQ, but I haven't gotten a response. It's unknown if Dmitri was directly involved with Laughing Horses orphases or if he was simply commissioned to take photos or even produce some of the art for the site. Finally, his Flickr page was created in January of 2007.
a few months before their logo was discovered and posted on Above Top Secret by Alex M. All this seems to imply that LHQ is some sort of artistic project potentially created by a person who is deeply interested in politics and conspiracies. So much so that this person has created pages and pages of information, videos, and documents as like a database or a collection of some kind.
That could explain why the Bob video was there as it does mention mind control in the beginning. [Music] There's one last person of interest to talk about before closing our exploration. A person that I think clears up the air quite a bit.
Through some soothing, I came across film director and photographer Mark Estrabano. By navigating through his website, I was able to find some of his work. Eventually, I was led to his Vimeo page where a lot of his short films were uploaded.
It seemed like a lot of them had that silent era vintage look. After some scrolling, I came across this. This is Space Girl, First Time in the Farm by LH HQ.
The video was uploaded in 2013, and the description reads, "Short film by LHO, made for a 24-hour competition. I decided to investigate further. " And according to Mark's LinkedIn page, he studied at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee from 2000 to 2006 before relocating to his current location in Los Angeles.
Assuming this film festival was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we were able to find this courtesy of the Wayback Machine, a 24-hour film contest that took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July of 2007. Now, I couldn't find a page that directly stated that LHQ was a contestant in this competition, but I'm willing to bet that this was the festival where Space Girl Score was submitted. I'm also willing to bet that the piece of paper that Alex M found was meant to be as a sort of advertisement or marketing stunt for their films.
What's strange is that the films on Mark's Vimeo page actually include credits. Take Space Girl for example. In the beginning of the Vimeo version, we see a title card with some of the names of the cast involved.
The LHQ version, on the other hand, starts with a shot of a horses behind. The ending of the film on Vimeo includes a complete list of the cast and crew and even the year. The LHQ version instead just shows the name of the film and their abbreviations.
This made me wonder why were their names cut from this version of the film? If it was for privacy reasons, then why would the Vimeo version, the one with credits, exist? It's not just Space Girl either.
Another LH film called The Pond is on Mark's Vimeo page, and that one has credits in the beginning, whereas the LHQ version does not. You can spend hours looking through the various documents and pages on LHQ and who knows maybe there is something nefarious in there. In that case, take this video as a sort of introduction to LHQ.
However, at the end of the day, I believe these sites to either be intentionally bizarre as a marketing ploy for their films. After all, it's almost the first thing you'll find when visiting these sites, a hub or database for conspiracy theories and sensitive data. or net art, which was popular in the 90s and 2000s.
All I know for sure is that LH started out as a group of filmmakers from Wisconsin who now run a series of bizarre and potentially dangerous websites that keep getting brought up from time to time. Maybe it's something. It might all just be nothing.
There is a few things worth mentioning before we end things off. L H O HQ is one letter away from L H O Q, a piece of art by Marcel Duchamp. The art is simply a postcard of the famous Mona Lisa, but with a mustache and goatee sketch on it, almost like a crude parody.
I'm not an expert on Marcel by any means, but his movement, the deism, was supposedly anti- mainstream and challenge the idea of what art is through his Armagard works. It's then possible that LHQ is simply embracing this movement. [Music] The official email on their site that we mentioned earlier shares the same profile picture as this YouTube channel.
This channel has been around for quite a few years and has uploaded several bizarre videos. [Music] A blog exists by a user known as America Jones. He's been around since 2005 and he lists LHQ as one of his blogs.
His post deal with US politics and conflicts during Bushes and Obama's presidency. His last post was on November 9th, 2016, the day Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. His post was simply titled, "Done.
" And it reads, "Welcome to the new world order. Can't say I'm surprised. " [Music] Finally, it seems as if LHQ has a sister site called Applied Chaos Dynamics Control Association or ACDCA.
The two sites appear to share a page that we mentioned earlier in the video. lhq. applied chaos dynamics controlAciation.
net. If you head to AC/DCA, you'll find an archive of articles and papers on history, dimensions, quantum science, and other complicated topics. Clearance provided courtesy of LHQ.
What's weird is that the people involved in this don't seem to exist. Take Ambrose Nipololis for example. His LinkedIn page says he's an associate at AC/DCA and that he's from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Take a look at his profile picture. It's a smeared photo of Michael Sherto, then second United States Secretary of Homeland Security under President Bush. Here's another paper, this time researched by Dagwood Angelberg and edited by Bentley Pythol.
Dagwood's Facebook says he's a consultant at AC/DCA and that he's from Albuquerque, New Mexico. His profile photo is a smeared version of Jesse Jackson Jr. Bentley's LinkedIn page says he's currently an associate at AC/DCA and that he worked for LHO.
He lives in Albuquerque and his profile picture is actually a photo of Ken Rockwell, a photographer from California who has nothing to do with this. What's going on here? Why do all these fake accounts exist?
And what's going on in Albuquerque, New Mexico? That might be a mystery for another day.
