Auroras Treat Viewers On Oct 8th, 2012

NASA website reports: "...coronal mass ejection [CME] that erupted from the sun on Oct. 4, 2012 at 11:24 p.m. EDT arrived at Earth on Oct. 8 at 12:30 a.m. EDT, as observed by instruments aboard NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft."  CME caused geomagnetic storms when it reached Earth's magnetosphere, resulting in Auroras. A description of Auroral mechanism at Wikipedia provides interesting details on different colors.  Ray McKenzie captured image (picture) of awe-inspiring Aurora in early hours of Oct 8, 2012 in the skies over Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  More stunning Auroras captured for your viewing pleasure at Universe Today!

Drone Episode 4: Conclusion

Billing for conclusion of Drone series reads, "The thrilling conclusion of the YOMYOMF Network's sci-fi/action webseries "DR0NE", Directed by ROBERT GLICKERT and starring LANCE REDDICK ("FRINGE") and KENNETH CHOI ("CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER"). Captured by black ops soldiers, the situation looks dire for 237. Is there any hope of escaping and bringing Nissen (Lance Reddick) to justice?" reads You Tube caption. Nissen realizes 237 traced his location and lays in wait in another shoot-em-up episode--very entertaining!  In the final moments, 237 gets reprogrammed to wipe clean prime directives to insure unit follows orders. The final scene shows, however, reprogramming to be overridden, presumably, by upgrade from USB drive provided 237 in prior episode.  Hats off to Lance Reddick and Director Robert Glickert!  This viewer can only hope for a sequel!

Retro Sci-Fi Weekend: 'Day the World Ended'

Day the World Ended (1955) was the fourth film directed by Roger Corman. Rick (Richard Denning) is a heroic scientist who, among others, must face off against a mutant monster (Paul Blaisdell) after an atomic war destroys human civilization. Chet Huntley of NBC, later of The Huntley-Brinkley Report, narrates according to Wikipedia.  Paul Birch steals spotlight in supporting role as Jim Maddison,who prepared for nuclear catastophe by stocking up and chosing to live in a box canyon shielded from radiation.  The story begins after smoke clears with Mike Connors, who is best known as star of popular sixties TV-series "Mannix," billed as "Touch Connors," a reference to his UCLA basketball scholarship days, shows up on Maddison home doorstep.  Maddison displays honest fifties morality by telling daughter Louise, played by Lori Nelson, he can't allow them in because he has only enough provisions for them.  Louise allows Connor's character, Tony Lamont in along with his girl, Ruby, a showgirl played by Adel Jergens, who rose in show business by winning title of  "Miss World's Fairest" at the 1939 New York World's Fair and later named New York's Number One Showgirl. Lamont proves to be a psychopath, who gets dispatched late in movie by Maddison, when Lamont reveals his intent to kill Rick.

Radiation theory in movie, seems quaint, with mutations of a thousand generations the result of one exposure. The victims exhibit different characteristics with each level of exposure. Maddison shares his navy experience with atomic tests with Rick.  The animals suffered mutated skin, extra limbs, horns and a monkey with another eye. Radiation theory has mutants growing stronger with level of exposure, who can only be sustained by radioactive food sources due to transformed constitutions. The mutant monster calls to Louise several times in movie with telepathy.  Louis is finally lured out of the house under mind control and abducted.  Louise escapes to find refuge in fresh water lake, where monster pulls up short and refuses to pursue.  Torrent of fresh rainwater kills mutant who appears to react to water with some fizz as it expires.  Louise expresses sadness at mutant's fate, an odd sentiment but thoroughly B-movie style!  Day the World Ended holds attention throughout and admission is free. Raymond Hatton, who appeared in nearly five hundred movies, in one of his last roles as old-timer Pete.

The Secret KGB Abduction Files

A 1998 documentary narrated by Roger Moore, "The Secret KGB Abduction Files," provides original content a viewer may find new. In the early sixties, the KGB seriously researched an alien influence in construction of Great Pyramid of Giza. Russian intelligence conducted research through "Project ISIS" for two decades, making remarkable observations. Three pyramids of Giza align with belt of Orion in 10,500 BC, to suggest, pyramids are much older than commonly believed. Russians also provide arguments the pyramids were used for celestial navigation. A sarcophagus discovered of a god not included in known pantheon of ancient gods, but designated instead a "Visitor God," named Osirus. A Russian facial reconstruction of skeletal remains reveals an alien very similar to what is known commonly as "a Grey." A strange case of a Russian tour bus disappearance in the eighties at Giza connected to belief by the followers of a second coming of Osirus. Documentary maintains Russians located with radar a spherical chamber below Giza but never entered the mythical "Hall of Records." It's a good watch but present writer suspects Russians did enter!

Huge Cyber Attack On US Banks Allegedly Came From 'Middle East'

US Bank Hackers Used Advanced Botnets, Diverse Tools

from chicagotribune.com: The hackers behind the cyber attacks on major U.S. banks have repeatedly disrupted online banking by using sophisticated and diverse tools that point to a carefully coordinated campaign, according to security researchers.

The hackers, believed to be activists in the Middle East, were highly knowledgeable about the defensive equipment used by the banks and likely spent months on reconnaissance, said several researchers interviewed by Reuters, who viewed the assaults as among the strongest and most complex the world has seen to date.

In the past two weeks, customers of top U.S. banks including Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Wells Fargo & Co, U.S. Bancorp and PNC Financial Services have reported having trouble accessing their websites, as unusually high traffic volumes appeared to crash or slow down the systems.

No thefts have been tied to hacked sites, but an untold number of customers were not able to pay bills or transfer money from their computers, leaving banks with remediation expenses and customer irritation as the biggest costs.

Cyber Attack on US Banks is an Obvious False Flag

Virtual 9-11

Michael Rivero, writes concise conspiracy theory that fits, Virtual 9-11 (video version, left)!  Rivero sees virtual false flag on US banks as a promising premise and growing excuse for "our leaders" to declare war on Iran.  Sen. Joseph Lieberman made recent public statement, Iran responsible for cyber attacks, which leads Rivero to suspect a political maneuver in building a case for war!  A Virtual 9-11, according to Rivero, "...gets Wall Street and Washington DC off the hook, because now the financial melt-down is an act of war, rather than the result of decades of Wall Street crime and corruption and the predations of Private Central Banks...Such a cyber false-flag also gives the US Government the excuse to take total control of the internet so that those pesky truth-seeking bloggers don't give the slaves uppity ideas that this is just another war-starting hoax..." It's a plausible scenario that gets corrupt financial institutions, currently, on an express train to insolvency - off the hook!  Rivero believes by exposing a Virtual 9-11, perpetrators will get too nervous to follow through!  Hopefully, present put-up scenario will pass much as the build up for a false flag on 2012 Olympics as a solution to Libor scandal! Present writer can only support Rivero in his attempt to create climate too uncertain for perps of a Virtual 9-11 to succeed!
