alternative 3 revisited

alternative 3 revisited
Is Alternative 3 just good sci-fi? The planning of options for a dying planet due to climate change, seem to ring true. Anomalies Network website, founded by Olav Phillips, in article, "The Most Dangerous TV Show Ever Made", draws some interesting parallels between the last Science Report program broadcast in June 1977 and our recent past. The program was intended to air as an April Fool joke a grand finale for the discontinued program. Critics find, however, the addition of Tim Brinton as presenter, a well-known host, only added to the program's apparent authenticity. The program has virtually disappeared with all masters destroyed in a fire, some time ago. The article finds puzzling how the production company allowed not only the destruction of the film but all contracts and legal documents, as syndication rights are a significant source of income?


The climate change premise, which only surfaced as a prominent issue decades later, is an eery correspondence to our current reality.  Edward Teller, nuclear scientist and father of the hydrogen bomb, is credited as the source for many of  these ideas. Teller warned about rising levels of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases in a famous 1957 speech in front of American Chemical Society.  The article's author believes this may have been the inspiration behind Operation Argus , one year later, to see if gases could be vented into space by blowing a hole in the upper atmosphere with a nuclear explosion, which is Alternative 1.

Teller also "surmised that global warming could be reduced or abated by jettisoning large amount of metallic debris into the upper atmosphere to reflect sun light and cool the surface of the earth. In looking into his theory, it became quickly obvious that chemtrails were the obvious result of high altitude dumping of material and could very well be the execution of that original plan." It's another stunning parallel made in the article that seems apparent and squarely blames the famous nuclear scientist.

Alternative 2 was proposed as an option to build networks of underground cities and tunnels for a select few to carry on the human race.  Site R and the Svalbard Seed Vault add validity and support that these ideas have been put into effect, according to the article.  The Old Greenbrier Bunker under the resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia needs to be included as its completion in 1962, places it near the pinnacle of the Cold War Era.  The rumors of an underground rail into the Rocky Mountains underneath the Denver Airport, should be noted here.

Alternative 3 option planned on evacuating a cross section of the population to Mars via a way station on the back side of the Moon.  The final Science Report: "Alternative 3" contends the missing scientists in a brain drain of the United Kingdom were, in fact, apprehended for the purpose of the third alternative. The article points out the large number of children that go missing each year in the United States as a plausible resource. Nazi anti-gravity technology of Die Glocke or The Bell makes this option feasible in the author's estimation.

2012 is the suspected date, when the usefulness of the alternatives, may become apparent to the rest of us. The author isn't certain of the end game whether it's climate change. a solar flare, or an asteroid?  The article is going on intuition and gut instinct, predicting apocalypse for 2012, citing the end of the Mayan Calendar and remote viewers' reports of a hazy period around 2012. The present writer falls in the author's camp, the oligarchs are planning for something and aren't telling us!  You should watch Alternative 3 on You Tube while it's still on the net!

mystery hexagon of saturn

mystery hexagon of saturn In 1979, as Voyager 1 passed by Saturn, the satellite returned pictures of a hexagon on Saturn's North Pole.  The Cassini spacecraft confirmed, in 2006, the hexagon is still there! A brief You Tube video, "The Mystery Hexagon of Saturn" provides a fascinating look in less than two minutes. Discovery News provides a brief article and video, "Saturn's North Pole Hexagon Mystery Solved?", where a hexagon is achieved in laboratory conditions, supporting the notion this is indeed a natural phenomenon.

zombiesat is alive!

zombiesat is alive!Intelsat's Galaxy 15 communications satellite, after drifting in orbit since last April, has been revived! The zombiesat gained notoriety for its intrusions on neighbors, after its electronic brains were supposedly fried by a solar flare, which caused several crises and interference avoidance maneuvers. The solution was to drain power from the comsat and induce a system reboot, which occurred on Dec. 23, 2010. The satellite is currently in safe mode and no longer poses a threat to the neighborhood. Intelsat has a FAQ section, which includes information on an in-orbit protection plan! Intelsat remains hopeful software can be reloaded from the ground and the satellite's functions fully restored! Or, will the zombiesat need to eat other satellite brains in order to survive?

2010: the year the internet went to war

2010: the year the internet went to warfrom threat level: It was a year without parallel. Threat Level’s bread-and-butter themes of censorship, hacking, security, privacy, copyright and cyberwar were all represented in tug-of-war struggles with unprecedented outcomes.

Google defeated China’s censors, but caved to corporate censorship in the United States. The largest computer-crime case ever prosecuted ended in the nation’s longest prison term. A small-time Xbox modder who advertised his services online beat the federal rap. And a mysterious computer virus called Stuxnet finally put proof to decades of warnings that malware will eventually be used to kinetic effect in the real world.

A myriad of court decisions seemed to be a boon for online rights, while others clearly were a step backward. The year 2010 saw the rise of the newspaper copyright troll, and judges pushed back on absurd jury verdicts for music file sharing and outdated electronic spying rules.

And a secret-spilling website flirting with insolvency and dissolution suddenly burst onto the world stage. WikiLeaks was without a doubt the biggest 2010 development in Threat Level’s world.

why the moon appears grey from earth

why the moon appears grey from earth Cary Martynuik, a moon researcher with a part in movie, "Moon Rising", asks good questions about the Moon's appearance as seen from Earth. Martynuik contends our atmosphere and its light diffusion and scattering properties, only makes the moon appear colorless. Our eyes simply do not receive the color information before it's deflected? Is there color info not reaching the earth's surface? It's a good question! Here's a link to an eight minute video, "Why the Moon Appears Grey From Earth".

your solarcast: dalton minimum repeat

your solarcast: dalton minimum repeatThe lack of sunspot activity seems to support predictions of cold temperatures? Anthony Watts, in an article at Watts Up With That?, predicts a repeat of a Dalton Minimum. Watts recaps solar cycle expert David Archibald's graphs. What is a Dalton Minimum and its weather implications? "The Dalton Minimum was a period of low solar activity, named after the English meteorologist John Dalton, lasting from about 1790 to 1830. Like the Maunder Minimum and Spörer Minimum, the Dalton Minimum coincided with a period of lower-than-average global temperatures. The Oberlach Station in Germany, for example, experienced a 2.0°C decline over 20 years. The Year Without a Summer, in 1816, also occurred during the Dalton Minimum," writes Watts. Archibald also examines interplanetary magnetic field strength. A weaker interplanetary magnetic field means more cosmic rays reach our planet. The measure is taken by a neutron count and it is higher than the previous solar minimum. It seems, yet, another blow delivered to the global warming agenda. This is your solarcast for late 2010.

mark david chapman: programmed cia hitman?

Phil Strongman writes a new book, "John Lennon--Life, Times and Assassination" and revisits agency involvement in the murder.  The most convincing argument is to follow the money.  "Money never seemed to be a problem for Chapman, but no one has ever explained where it came from. The distinct possibility remains, in Strongman’s opinion, that the secret service was his paymaster."  A young man without visible means, Chapman was able to travel around the world to Japan, the UK, India, Nepal, Korea, Vietnam and China in 1975. 

The portrayed of the 25 year old as a "lone nut" has fallen away as more facts have become known.  Strongman believes more than one shooter had to be involved, it's often cited the number of bullets add up to more than one gun.  The author harbors doubts whether Chapman fired at all?  Outside doorman Jose Perdomo's involvement in the Bay of Pigs, revealed in recent years seems a strong possibility as a participant? 

Mark David Chapman, as a Manchurian Candidate or programmed assassin, is not new however. "Who Killed John Lennon" written by Fenton Bresler, twenty years ago, did an admirable job revealing the mind control aspects of the murder. The unaccounted for layover by Chapman at Chicago O'Hare airport just prior to Lennon's shooting leaves open possibilities.  Bresler suspected that time was used to reassert control over Chapman's mind as he was acting erratically?  Strongman concludes Chapman was likely a stooge and Lennon was assassinated at the behest of right wing fanatics in the political establishment.  Phil Spector feels John Lennon's assassination "was certainly a probability" in very brief interview excerpt on You Tube.

kubrick's odyssey: a11 faked moon landing?

Jay Weidner does a masterful job in his essay, "How Stanley Kubrick Faked the Moon Landings: ... ", exposing Hollywood trickery evident in the dated Front Screen Projection effect, and contended, used in the sixties on the Apollo 11 Moon shots.  "All I am trying to do, with the following evidence, is show that the Apollo landings were a hoax. And that Stanley Kubrick, using the Front Screen Projection system, directed them," says Weidner.  The author believes the United States traveled to the moon, but not by means of conventional rocket science. This third position occupied by Weidner views the NASA Space Program as a cover for the anti-gravity propulsion secrets, our government wanted to keep from their Cold War nemesis, the USSR.

The author follows up with a shocking interpretation of Kubrick's symbolism in "Secrets of the Shining". Weidner believes the liberties Kubrick took with Stephen King's novel, "The Shining," were intentional attempts to communicate his personal plight. 

Weidner lays it out for the reader. "The Manager tells Jack that his main job is to prevent the Overlook Hotel (America) from appearing like it is decaying. The Manager reiterates that this is Jack's primary responsibility."  Son Danny's vision of the "Gemini" twins (killed by the previous caretaker) on their very first day.  The Apollo sweatshirt worn by Danny.  Jack's deterioration during the course of the movie, a parallel to Kubrick's personal decline while making "2001: A Space Odyssey".  The damaging effect making the movie had on Kubrick's marriage.  Weidner goes so far as to suggest, "...the nickname, or the code name, for the faking of the Apollo Moon Missions was A11?" "All" for Apollo 11 was the first word Jack is typing over and over in the movie.

Kubrick has been communicating far earlier than recent insights into his last film, "Eyes Wide Shut," which some believe resulted in his death? Weidner makes a compelling case and believes the errors in the faked Moon shots were intentional attempts by Stanley Kubrick to reveal the truth.  It's a good read.

operation high jump

operation high jumpOperation High Jump organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, was ostensibly an exploration expedition to seek feasibility of establishing bases in Antarctica and map the continent. Journalists were suspicious of the true purpose, given the size of the force: 4700 men, 13 support ships and an aircraft carrier, the USS Phillipine Sea. Three operating groups set sail with the Western Group reaching the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia, on December 12, 1946, to set up weather monitoring stations. The Eastern Group reached Peter I Island in late 1946 about 280 miles off the coast of Antarctica. The Central Group reached the Bay of Whales a natural iceport in the Ross Ice Shelf on January 15, 1947, cleared runways on the ice and dubbed the place Little America IV. The expedition was cut short by six months and ended in late February. Was it a hastily called for retreat?


Operation High Jump rumors persist of greater losses and the suspected result of battle with a Nazi presence. Dozens of Nazi submarines and thousands of their military men remained unaccounted for after the war. These hard facts added credibility to the belief the operation's true intent was to eradicate Station 211 aka Neu Schwabenland. The government files about the operation are still classified to this day!

On March 5, 1947, the "El Mercurio" newspaper of Santiago, Chile ran an article which quoted Admiral Byrd, he didn’t want to frighten anyone unduly...a bitter reality that in case of a new war the continental United States would be attacked by flying objects which could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds”. One can add the 1943 comment of German Grand Admiral Karl Donitz, "the German submarine fleet is proud of having built for the Führer in another part of the world a Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress", while unsubstantiated, only can be viewed as stoking fires for conspiracy of an "Antarctic Reich".

A good government film, "The Secret Land," narrated by Robert Montgomery, Robert Taylor and Van Heflin about Operation High Jump, is available here.

incident at kearney, ne

incident at kearney, ne Reinhold O. Schmidt, a grain buyer, spotted a UFO on November 5, 1957 just southeast of Kearney, NE - or it spotted him? Schmidt recalled his UFO encounter and its human crew in print. The aftermath of the sighting included much persuasion by authorities to change his account and a brief stay at a nearby mental hospital. It is one of the better known contactee stories, Schmidt related the crew spoke High German to him. Schmidt's life changed and included a flight underneath the North Pole and joined a lecture circuit with the Director of Washington Saucer Intelligence. Schmidt spent time in prison, later, after having swindled money from elderly women who sought cancer cures. A book and film were made of Schmidt's contacts by the same title, "Edge of Tomorrow".

internet splits in two

internet splits in two"The Internet Splits in Two" by Dan Lyons sees the recent Net Neutrality Ruling by FCC leading to a bifurcation of fast internet for the rich and slow crappy internet for the poor and the amounts of information available. Lyons views the ruling as tantamount to having a Bloomberg terminal to do stock trading versus attempting to play day trader from a personal computer. The FCC ruling leaves wireless alone, but eventually, disparities will be even greater for the ascending platform. The writer likes Columbia professor Tim Wu's book, "The Master Switch: The Rise & Fall of Information Empires", who sees a progression in all past technologies such as telegraph, telephone, radio and movies. Lyons agrees we're at the end of phase one a relatively free and innovative period. It remains to be seen what happens from here, "but I’m pretty sure those of us who have been around for Phase One of the Internet are going to look back on these last 15 years as the good old days," says Lyons.

is establishment preparing to unveil aliens?

is establishment preparing to unveil aliens? Nicholas West writes, in Activist Post entry "Is the Establishment Preparing to Unveil Aliens?", about the series of - well, strange - stories appearing recently in the press. West points out the closing of airports in China due to UFO sightings, the Pope's Astronomer saying he would gladly baptize ET and a pending appointment for a UN Space Ambassador, as some examples. West seems to be on the mark in filling in the blanks of whether this groundswell of support is meant to legitimize an alien threat. The present writer asks: is this propaganda or Project Blue Beam on a direct course to The Great Deception? West's blog entry is pure conspiracy theory and a full plate for anyone with the appetite. What's so odd is that none of this sounds as far out as it would have just a decade ago! West is on the right track and, by raising awareness, humanity may not be fooled in the end!

mexico city ufo

mexico city ufoAnnie Lask saw and heard the UFO, at right, just 20 meters above her, on August 6th, 1997 in a northern suburb of Mexico City. Lask noticed a purple haze in the air and an audible hiss and said, "the outer rim was spinning very fast". The witness doesn't remember getting down from the roof, where she spotted the UFO and had symptoms afterwards. Lask experienced headaches and her eyes burned on a daily basis. You can judge for yourself as to the authenticity of the video in a brief two part You Tube Video of the 1997 sighting. In part two, David Froning, a propulsion engineer with 30 years experience at McDonnell Douglas, judges the UFO to be real and jet powered. Two special effects artists with Digital Domain differ as to whether it is a hoax, but agree the UFO is actually in the picture and not computer generated imagery, or, CGI. Lask's observations leave a critical mind to wonder about the origins of the "purple haze or mist" and the "hiss"? The two part video documentary is less than a half hour about one of the most memorable UFO sightings ever!

espionage act rears ugly head

espionage act rears ugly head (Note: This writer's greatest apprehension is the coming clamp down on the internet.) Naomi Wolf, writes in Huffington Post, reprinted at Before It's News, "Espionage Act Rears Its Ugly Head And Threatens American Tradition Of Freedom" recaps oppressive history of this flawed law. The 1917 law was used to suppress dissent of anti-war advocates. Many people were imprisoned. We may face a similar political fate? Wolf aptly observes, "'Step Ten'...to a closed society: 'Rename Dissent 'Espionage' and Criticism of Government, 'Treason'." This is a reference to her ten steps from her book, "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot". Benjamin Wittes, from The Brookings Institution, says in the same article, "Taken at its word, the Espionage Act makes felons of us all." Is this the path Wikileaks is leading us down?

ufo crash at aztec, nm

ufo crash at aztec, nmThe relatively unknown Aztec, NM UFO crash on March 25, 1948 is every bit as interesting as Roswell. Scott Ramsey, ufo researcher, provides riveting information in "Aztec 1948 Hoax or Hidden Truth?" video documentary. You may also purchase the video here. Jerry Pippin interviewed Scott and Suzanne Ramsey, "The Story of Aztec" at the Aztec UFO 2010 Conference last March. The video and interview provide details of not only the crash site on a mesa 12 miles northeast of Aztec, but also, the construction of the UFO and the alien humanoids inside. The witness accounts Ramsey has collected make for interesting corroboration of the crash. Three strong radar units in the area may have played a role in downing the UFO? Ramsey played a central role in verifying the existence of these Cold War Era radar installations. You can know Aztec as well as Roswell.

'rendlesham revealed' ufo special from bbc

'rendlesham revealed' ufo special from bbcMark Murphy and Lesley Dolphin host two hour BBC Suffolk UFO Special "Rendlesham Revealed" available online a few days only. Thirty year anniversary special features Nick Pope, former head of British Ministry of Defence's UFO project, and many witnesses from the December 26, 1980 incident, Boxing Day in the UK. Rendlesham revealed was recorded live from Cold War Museum, the former Bentwaters Air Base that borders the forest. Deputy Base Commander Charles Halt's audio recording of the incident, originally released to the public in 1984, gets played and reviewed.

Rendlesham revealed attempts to pass off the incident as a cover up of US airmen's prank, who flew a helicopter with an Apollo module suspended below through the forest that crisp winter night. It's the British version of weather balloon tripe! There are also the Oxford Ness lighthouse and break up of Russian rocket theories. It's interesting to note, witnesses stlll firmly believe it's a UFO, since they've not seen anything like it. A very entertaining show to just curl up with a hot cocoa and listen in suspense as you suspend your judgment.

lunar eclipse to unlock apocalypse?

lunar eclipse to unlock apocalypse?Nicholas West, in Activist Post entry,considers metaphysical effects on human consciousness of impending lunar eclipse to occur early Tuesday, December 21, 2010. This is a rare coincidence of lunar eclipse and winter solstice, the last incident occurred over a half millenia ago. There is an additional dimension of the galactic crossing of the ecliptic a rare once in 26,000 year event. West explains his article's title, "Will the Lunar Eclipse on December 21st, 2010 Unlock the "Apocalypse?", to clarify "...apocalypse, as it is purely translated, actually means a 'great revealing/revelation' or 'unveiling' or 'end of a cycle'," in contrast, to biblical use of apocalypse that may imply, "...effects from solar maximum predictions, magnetic pole shifts, new galactic radiation fields...".

West describes his view of our world as composed of vibrational waves of energy. The author suggests this lunar eclipse may mark the beginning of the great revealing, it "...may provide a cosmic magnifier for collective thoughts...", a reference to Mike Bara's belief from his book, "The Choice: Using Conscious Thought and Physics of the Mind to Reshape the World".

It is suggested the coming apocalypse is not to be feared but rather embraced as transformational--an enlightenment of what has been hidden! "Many point to our solar system's coming brush with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy as a time when new vibrational energy fields will radiate our planet, resulting in a massive transformation in what our conscious mind and five senses can 'decode'," West believes, "...at the very least it provides us with an excuse to have a party and howl positive vibes at the moon and beyond".

is moon artificial satellite?

Zen Gardner alleges in article, "NASA Photos Confirm Moon is Artificial?", summarizes many points of irregularity in relation to our lunar satellite.  Gardner recalls the "ringing like a bell" references of Apollo missions which imply a hollow sphere.  An observation is made the bottom of the craters are convex not concave the opposite of expectations for an impact crater.  The author points to the presence of metal and alleges the moon is a hollow sphere with a 20 mile thick metal exterior that lies 2-3 miles below the surface.  The moon's orbit is also wrong in many scientists' estimation for its size and mass.   It's also, according to evidence, reputed to be older than the Earth.  Gardner uses the following source article at Red Ice Creations by N Huntley, "Our Enigmatic Moon". The picture at left is a recent image from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

son of stuxnet?

Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs was advised, last week, variant of Stuxnet poses threat to critical infrastructure, reports Christian Science Monitor. Cybersecurity experts believe modified Son of Stuxnet" could target wider range of control systems. Many facilities use a combination of Windows operating & Siemens control systems like Iran's nuclear facilities, attacked by the computer worm this past summer. "The concern for the future of Stuxnet is that the underlying code could be adapted to target a broader range of control systems in any number of critical infrastructure sectors," said Sean McGurk, acting director of the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center at the US Department of Homeland Security.

did vril society depart for aldebaran in 1945?

did vril society depart for aldebaran in 1945? Did Maria Orsic hop in a Vril-7 spacecraft and make the jump in a worm hole to Aldebaran? A March 11, 1945 letter to the Vril Society written by Orsic, ended with "niemand bleibt hier" (no one is staying here). Orsic and the Vril Society vanished off the face of the earth shortly after. What does it imply? Did their fate take them elsewhere? In 1919, Orsic claimed to receive telepathic tranmissions, which originated from Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus. The transmissions resulted in two piles of papers, one in a secret German Templar script and a second unknown language, which turned out to be Sumerian. The papers were detailed plans for a flying machine. By 1922, the flying machine project, funded by the Thule and Vril Societies, began assembling parts manufactured for them by independent industry sources.

By early 1944, Orsic and Sigrun, the Vril mediums received information on inhabitable planets around Aldebaran and discussions ensued about a possible trip. These discussions included the highest levels of the Third Reich. The decision was made for a test flight of a Vril 7 through a "dimension channel", which rumor has as barely averting disaster. Did Maria Orsic and the Vril Society make it or crash and burn? Is it myth or is there something more? A nice ten minute video primer of the occult background and progression of the Vril flying machine is linked here.

mars direct plan

mars direct planMars Direct is a plan, first, proposed in a research paper by NASA engineers Robert Zubrin and David Baker in 1990, and later, expanded in Zubrin's 1996 book, "The Case For Mars". Mars Direct proposes a cost effective means to send men to Mars in a series of missions in 26 month intervals. The first mission sends cargo, an Earth Return Vehicle(ERV) and a nuclear reactor with a supply of hyrdogen to manufacture oxygen and methane to be used for return flight. A second mission sends a four man team in a vehicle to be used as housing once it achieves a soft landing on the red planet. The vehicle remains tethered to the last stage of its booster rocket during flight to generate artificial gravity to mitigate effects of weightlessness. A second cargo ship, is also, sent identical to the first to be used by a second crew. The process continues until a self-sustainng colony grows and becomes established. Zubrin, president of the Mars Society, believes all the ingredients necessary for success are there and simply asks, "if not us,” he said, “then who? If not now, then when?...We can make Mars habitable!"

stuxnet remains problem for iran nuke sites

stuxnet remains problem for iran nuke sitesCybersecurity experts in the United States report an increase in internet traffic to their websites from Iran. The experts add there appears to be, also, strenuous efforts to hide the traffic's origin. A Fox News article, "Stuxnet Worm Still Out of Control at Iran's Nuclear Sites, Experts Say", infers from the internet traffic there are still problems. The article describes the Stuxnet worm as "...equipped with a warhead that targeted and took over the controls of the centrifuge systems at Iran’s uranium processing center in Natanz, and it had a second warhead that targeted the massive turbine at the nuclear reactor in Bashehr". Ralph Langner, a German expert, believes Iranians need to throw out their computers but adds they can't, "they will just continually reinfect themselves".

youtube will allow users to flag videos for promoting 'terrorism'

youtube will allow users to flag videos for promoting 'terrorism'from abcnews: Can the will of the people protect the idea of free speech? America's founding fathers said no, but YouTube is going to give it a try. In an effort to scrub the video site of clips that promote terrorism or extremism, YouTube has announced that it will allow its users to flag propaganda videos for removal. As the Los Angeles Times reports, the move is a long time in coming. Sen. Joe Lieberman (Independent-Conn.), has been lobbying YouTube to remove such videos for years. He told the LA Times that YouTube's move is "good first step" toward curtailing an effective terror recruitment tool, though lawmakers would prefer for the videos to be prescreened before they're ever even posted. New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, has also asked YouTube to remove some videos, specifically videos from Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric now seen as a major al Qaeda leader. Our question to you today: Is user flagging a good way to remove terror propaganda videos, or is this a threat to free speech?

wikileaks: manufactured dissent

wikileaks: manufactured dissentMichel Chossudovsky, a frequent contributor to Global Research.ca, writes an insightful examination of Wikileaks in recent article, "Who is Behind Wikileaks?" Chossudovsky identifies longstanding relationships at work behind the scenes such as The New York Times and the Rockefellers and The Economist in the UK with the Rothschild family. These background tidbits make for indispensible reading!

Chossudovsky points out, "from the outset, Wikileaks' geopolitical focus on 'oppressive regimes' in Eurasia and the Middle East was 'appealing' to America's elites..." The Canadian writer advises readers to make note of the Wikileaks support network, which comes from established elite media outlets. "Wikileaks is not a typical alternative media initiative. The New York Times, the Guardian and Der Spiegel are directly involved in the editing and selection of leaked documents. The London Economist has also played an important role." Chossudovsky concludes, "all the Wiki-facts are selectively redacted, they are then 'analyzed' and interpreted by a media which serves the economic elites."

The most important point to take away from the Chossudovsky article, is his advice. "In turn, we must ensure that the campaign against Wikileaks in the U.S., using the 1917 Espionage Act, will not be utilized as a means to wage a campaign to control the internet. In this regard, we should also stand firm in preventing the prosecution of Julian Assange in the US." Wikileaks represents a new sophisticated level of propaganda or "manufactured dissent" to the writer. The glib, offhand manner Chossudovsky comfortably refers to relationships between the interests of economic elites and their media outlets, makes for an excellent education for most readers.

voyager 1 nears interstellar space

voyager 1 nears interstellar spaceUniverse Today reports Voyager 1, launched on Sept. 5 1977, has reached a point in outer space where there is no solar wind.  The solar wind has measured zero since June, when Voyager was 10.6 billion miles from the Sun.  The solar wind has turned the corner,” said Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif. “Voyager 1 is getting close to interstellar space.” Voyager 1 has reached the boundary of the solar system, scientists believe the satellite will cross from the heliosphere and enter interstellar space in about 4 years.

fastest computer in US hunts pedophiles

fastest computer in US hunts pedophilesOak Ridge National Laboratory pledged help of $200 million Jaguar supercomputer to hunt down pedophiles, according to Mail Online article. Grier Weeks, Executive Director of the National Association to Protect Children commented, "there is no tool to interrupt child sexual abuse on a scale like this." Jaguar, equipped with 224,256 processors, will use algorithms developed by lead investigator Robert Patton of the project to look at search terms entered on peer-to-peer, file-sharing websites and track IP addresses that respond to queries. "This directs law enforcement agencies toward the computers that are posting new material on file-sharing networks." Will wealthy oligarchs--judges, businessmen and congressmen--draw a pass if their IP addresses turn up?

anon of operation payback speaks out!

anon of operation payback speaks out! Russia Today's Alyona Minkovski interviews a representative of Operation Payback, who is called "Anon" for purposes of the interview. It's an interesting insight into how hackers conduct themselves. Anon gives his views on company policies, especially, when they cut off services to Wikileaks, he believes corporations will loose every time. The anonymous hacker shows, at least, some good taste with the comment, "we don't care much about Sarah Palin". The price of this hacktivism will unfortunately be a restricted internet!

space x launch a commercial first!

Space X, a commercial space transport company owned by Paypal co-founder Elon Musk, boosted their Dragon capsule into earth orbit atop their own Falcon 9 rocket on Wednesday, Dec 8, 2010.  Dragon orbited twice and splashed down successfully 500 miles off the coast of Southern California.  Space X is the first commercial company to successfully launch, orbit and recover a spacecraft.   The Dragon capsule is capable of delivering  astronauts to the International Space StationA pdf file of a press kit for Space X Commercial Orbit Transportation Service (COTS) Flight 1 is available here. There will be more demo flights to be followed by a test launch all in 2011.  Wow, it's pretty heady stuff!

busted! wikileaks struck a deal with israel over cable leaks

Gordon Duff, at Veteran's Today, reveals why there were no damaging leaks concerning Israel!  Duff explains in article, "Busted! Wikileaks Struck a Deal With Israel Over Cable Leaks", “Assange met with Israeli officials in Geneva earlier this year and struck the secret deal." The sources added the documents, which originated mainly in embassies in Tel Aviv and Beirut, were removed. The only person with password to open the documents, is [Julian] Assange. "Assange had allegedly struck a deal with Israel before the recent ‘cable gate’, which may explain why the leaks “were good for Israel,” as the Israeli prime minister put it."

Other statements seem revealing, "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a press conference that Israel had 'worked in advance' to limit any damage from leaks, adding that “no classified Israeli material was exposed by WikiLeaks. In an interview with the Time magazine around the same time, Assange praised Netanyahu as a hero of transparency and openness!" 

Cynics will only find more ammunition by reading following report, "according to an Arabic investigative journalism website, Assange had received money from semi-official Israeli sources and promised them, in a 'secret, video-recorded agreement,' not to publish any document that may harm Israeli security or diplomatic interests." Suspicions have simmered since the the cablegate document dump and this report only seems to confirm them!

nazi bell: sci-fi or secret weapon?

Bill Hanks, a Yahoo contributor, asks questions about Nazi Bell technology in brief article, "Nazi Bell; Science Fiction or Secret Weapon?" Hanks wonders about the disappearance of SS General Hans Kammler, the man responsible for the Bell project and its vast documentation? One rumor has both loaded on a cargo plane to the United States or South America?

nazi bell: sci-fi or secret weapon?Hanks provides a nice summary of the physical principles. "The Bell device consisted of two counter rotating cylindrical containers. The containers were positioned one above the other. They were filled with both cryogenically cooled and frozen Mercury metal. There was a frozen core of a metallic paste, which served as a high permeability material for an electromagnetic gravitational field also called vortex compression."

After the war, Hanks points out similarities between the Nazi Bell UFOs and George Adamski's classic films and the the 1965 Kecksburg, PA sighting. Also, Betty and Barney Hill related, while under hypnosis, the aliens they encountered looked like Nazis in uniform! Hanks concludes by calling the disappearance of Hans Kammler and the Bell technology, "one of the unknown mystery's of our time"!

sam cohen: father of neutron bomb dead at 89

Tony Rennell explores in Mail Online article, "Was this man behind the most immoral weapon of all time?", the views of physicist Sam Cohen, the father of the neutron bomb, who died Sunday at age 89. Cohen invented the bomb in the fifties by minimizing the initial blast and increasing amounts of generated radiation. "He [Cohen] continued to maintain that his neutron bomb was ‘the most sane and moral weapon ever devised. It’s the only nuclear weapon in history that makes sense in waging war because, when the war is over, the world is still intact’". Cohen's bomb still raises moral questions for those who hold the dogma of "mutually assured destruction". The neutron bomb could hypothetically tempt one side to make a successful first strike.

solar max of 2012

solar max of 2012 The solar max of 2012 will be the brightest since 1958, when Mexico City residents were able to view the aurora borealis on three occasions. Scientists predict the auroras will be visible as far south as Rome, Italy. Icelandic photographer Orvar Thorgiersson has documented the phenomena in pictures since 2007. The picture at left is from 2010 and the best is yet to come in 2012. An article from Mail Online adds a caveat: an increase in charged particles hitting the Earth's magnetosphere, may play havoc with technology!

wikileaks: brought to you by the cia

wikileaks: brought to you by the ciaBrasscheck TV ran, recently, New World Next Week (NWNW), July 29, 2010 episode on the Wikleaks Afghanistan war diaries and said, "these guys nailed it back in July!" The activist website, which features videos, gave the NWNW episode the title, "Wikileaks: Brought to you by the CIA", revealing the website's opinion of the renegade leaking operation.

tarpley's take on wikileaks

tarpley's take on wikileaksWebster Tarpley reveals the self-exposure operation of Wikileaks on the Alex Jones Show recently. Julian Assange is a MK-Ultra zombie, the product of an Australian mind control cult led by Anne Hamilton-Byrne, in Tarpley's view. Assange's peroxide blonde hair color is noted as significant, as the Australian cult members' hair was dyed peroxide blonde or platinum, and reveals his cult ties. Assange is compared to Daniel Ellsberg and may be an expendible intelligence asset? Tarpley summarizes the Wikileaks document dumps, observing there are no damaging references to a George W. Bush or Richard Cheney and concludes they are most damaging to the CIA's enemies. Please take a moment to listen how Julian Assange and Wikileaks may be controlled intelligence assets and the present operation bears similarities to the Pentagon Papers of the early seventies. Tarpley believes Wikileaks is the product of White House information czar, Cass Sunstein. Sunstein pledged government infiltration of extremist groups, some time ago, and wrote the following paper: "Conspiracy Theories". It's must listen and available, here.

hacktivism!

hacktivism!Activist Post picked up the Reuters article, "Wikileaks battle: a new amateur face of cyber war?", which seems to confirm cyber war has escalated and entered a new more dangerous phase. The article reports Wikileaks' defense has become "...something of a popular rebellion amongst hundreds or thousands of tech-savvy activists." The online movement even has a name: "Operation Avenge Assange". The current operation behind recent attacks on Mastercard and Visa among others is an outgrowth of an earlier series of attacks called, Operation Payback. These operations use distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks to deny access to a targeted website. An online group Anonymous "...appears to be using social networking site Twitter to coordinate attacks on websites belonging to entities it views as trying to silence WikiLeaks." Will attacks continue until Assange is set free and Wikileaks no longer targeted? This new development of internet anarchism via amateur attacks is bad news, as it plays right into the hands of those who wish to restrict the internet! Is this synthetic terror?

gareth williams was poisoned

gareth williams was poisoned Trowbridge H Ford writes in, "Gareth Williams And Gudrun Loftus Murdered To Avoid Their Becoming More George Blakes", an interesting tale about international spying. Gareth Williams and Gudrun Loftus were apparently working together to expose unflattering activities of the British and German governments. Williams, a British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) employee, who worked with MI6 and the NSA, and Loftus, an Oxford University lecturer, paid for their efforts with their lives.

Trowbridge's analysis is worth reading to explore alternative views of current events. Williams, in the picture at left, appears sick. Trowbridge believes Williams was the victim of poisonous mushrooms. It's concluded by Trowbridge, both, knew too much and could embarass the British government, leaving only murder as an alternative to reign in the spys! Williams also crosses paths with the Russian spy Anna Chapman. Trowbridge enlightens how perpetrators may link up behind the scenes. It's an interesting read and some of the damaging evidence secreted by Williams and Loftus was turned over to Wikileaks!

wikileaks is not a psy op?

wikileaks is not a psy op?Anok Black, in a blog entry at www.seismologik.com, offers the reader four reasons why Wikileaks is not a tool of the agenda. Black lists them: 1) it would be irrational and damaging for US government to use Wikileaks to build support for war, 2) it would be ineffective since patrons of Wikileaks already have anti-establishment views, 3) Julian Assange is anti-authoritarian not a CIA asset with supporting links to Assange's personal essays and an archive of Assange's blog, and 4) Wikileaks is not Julian Assange. Non-sequiturs flow from each of the four points. This is from someone who is, ostensibly, finishing a PHD in analytic philosophy!

Readers should ask why defend Wikileaks, because it's exposing injustice worldwide? It doesn't make sense for US government to use a platform such as Wikileaks? The conclusions do not follow from the arguments for each of the above reasons. Wikileaks history is suspicious at best. Where does the money for this project come from and how does Assange pay for his world travels? The only response to Black's blog entry may be the biggest knock against Wikileaks, Julian Assange aside, "...what seems missing from the leaks tells a stronger tale".

is internet 9/11 under way?

is internet 9/11 under way?Zen Gardner shares signs in "Is the Internet 9/11 Under Way?" that Wikileaks may lead to another watershed event as 9/11? Gardner questions, rightfully so, the website's high visibility and constant media references. "Where's anyone else trying to expose the agenda? Only Julian [Assange]. Hmmm." Perhaps, the biggest red flag Gardner points out, is when Assange "...says the 9/11 truth issue is 'a distraction'". The sketchy backgrounds and a building crescendo, where Assange is labeled a new kind of terrorist and compared to bin Laden only adds to the cloud.

what happened to telstar?

Whatever happened to Telstar? The first communications satellite (COMSAT) to relay television signals launched from Cape Canaveral on July 10, 1962. A video of the launch can be viewed here. Telstar's Wikipedia entry reveals the COMSAT was a victim of the cold war. "The day before Telstar 1 was launched, the United States had tested a high-altitude nuclear bomb (called Starfish Prime) which energized the Earth's Van Allen Belt where Telstar 1 went into orbit. This vast increase in radiation, combined with subsequent high-altitude blasts, including a Soviet test in October, overwhelmed Telstar's fragile transistors..." The satellite went out of service permanently on February 21, 1963. The AT&T-owned satellite inspired The Tornados to a number one hit in the UK and the US also named after the satellite, 'Telstar'.
