5.0 out of 5 stars Independent Thinker., 11 Mar 2011
By Roy Robinson ""Wellsian"" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: The Rumford Rogues,
(Paperback)
"I first came across Colin Bennett's work in the pages of a long
defunct 80s magazine called The Encyclopedia Psychedelica.Since
then I have followed his work in Fortean Times in the 90s and
have most of his published work.The Rumford Rogues is satirical
fiction in a similar vein to his previous fiction The
Entertainment Bomb.
I found The Rumford Rogues an amusing read, the funniest bit was
a pastiche interview with Tony Blair
The author has a good eye for the ghastlier features of modern
society, some passages reminded me of Anthony Burgess works such
as The Wanting Seed and 1985. Colin Bennett is a genuine
independent thinker and as a result seems to be a non-person as
far as the media world is concerned.I am sure if he did become
more well known he would be subjected to character assassination
of the sort practiced against Chris Morris for the same reason
that he refuses to toe the PC line. As it is he is only for the
select few who know of him . As an introduction I would
recommend his book on Charles Fort "The Politics of the
Imagination" "

Amazon review
5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Look into the Origin of UFO's and
Government Security, July 11, 2011
By
Mihir Shah - See all my reviews
"Colin Bennett's Flying Saucers Over The
White House is a tribute to U.S. Air Force officer Captain
Edward Ruppelt and his findings in the field of "Ufology."
Edward Ruppelt is credited for having invented the term
"unidentified flying object," which replaced the term "flying
saucer." The book focuses on UFO research, UFO culture and
history, alleged military cover-ups, Project Blue Book, and the
Condon Report. Edward Ruppelt is considered to be one of the
founding fathers of Ufology. He is renowned for his
contributions in the investigation of UFO phenomena, as well as
in determining whether or not there were discernible threats to
national security.
Ruppelt often encountered difficult circumstances and doubters
on his job of explaining UFO sightings and reports. Working with
the Pentagon, Ruppelt established the new Project Grudge and
authored the Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, which was
based on his findings.
Ruppelt states, "We found out that the UFOs frequently visited
Washington. On May 23 fifty targets had been tracked from 8:00PM
till midnight." Unfortunately, Bennett concludes that Ruppelt's
brainchild, Operation Blue Book, "is verbally and, hence
conceptually, erased in an operation that any hard-line Soviet
commissar of the time would have admired. Names and faces
disappear, the stories come apart, hanging together as threads
and webs as little bits go missing." This is, perhaps, the
reason why so many people have heard of the term "UFO" but have
never heard of U.S. Air Force officer Captain Edward Ruppelt.
The Air Force investigations revealed that the UFOs posed no
threat to national security. Although people like Chieftain
Samford are prepared to do almost anything to prove that the UFO
is a figment of the imagination, Edward Ruppelt works tirelessly
to establish credibility for ufology.
Ultimately, Flying Saucers Over The White House sheds light on
the life of one man who single-handedly changed the way the
government looked at concepts like security. Colin Bennett's
purpose in writing the book is to present Edward Ruppelt's
information to a newer, more open generation--to let it decide
what it wants to believe. There is certainly enough evidence to
warrant revisiting the issue. This is a must read for anyone
interested in the origins of unidentified flying objects (UFOs),
or in the reaction of the government toward what has become a
respectable area of study. "

Sleepless in Roswell

Weaponising the Narrative
by Colin Bennett
For Steven Jobs and Stephen Wozniac
Who helped create the modern Imagination
“All Image Systems are Magical Systems.”
( Politics
of the Imagination)
“If you think things could get worse, then at least you know
that you’re not in Hell.”
(George Mensche,
The Rumford Rogues)
“When we imagine we create a form of life”
(Looking
for Orthon)
Foreword
The world needs to put UFOs and Ufology in a radically different
perspective. As a culture it is at least as important as the
drawings of Piranesi or Michelangelo, or the paintings of Dali
or Chirico. What we get from such precious things we can get
from the story-architecture of Ufology, which is now an
essential part of our postmodern Imagination. Even in the
kitchens of the most ardent sceptic there will be some item
which owes its shape and character to the UFO, now a big
prime-time star in the postmodern universe. As a Big Star, the
UFO is as unavoidable as are Elvis Presley, Monroe, Michael
Jackson, the idea of quantum entanglement, Black Holes or Warp
Drives.
Ufology turns even downright imposture into a species of
postmodern art form, showing that the mechanical truth of a
story is something of a decoy. What matters is that the tale is
told complete with all its faults and deceptions and the
supposed framework of its truths and lies. Any story bar-codes
us forever. Despite our acceptances and rejections, we play with
story games, we rehearse them, add new episodes even to absurd
claims, and despite ourselves again, we continue to develop even
the most dubious episodes, whether they are junk theatre or not.
The proof of this theory? Just try the impossible task of
getting just Marilyn Monroe out of our minds completely, or any
other of the billion harpies like her. We have been branded,
colonised, turned into a fast breeder of images by a swarming
Host which we are powerless to resist.
Best of luck to all viewers of Plato’s silver screens, whether
factual or scientific, delusional, inspired or plain insane!

Part 3
You’ll
all Come to Love Your Social-Scientific Psycho-Social
Anal-Dilation Reality Test
Recently, Basiago and
Laura Eisenhower have been guests on Coast-to-Coast claiming
that they travelled to Mars accompanied by President Obama, no
less. We might ask what fresh and new set of tall tales will
appear for our minds to feed upon? What metaphysical cud will we
next graze upon? What ideological software is (inevitably)
heading our way? Will it be Icke’s lizards, Komarek’s tall
greys, or Dr. Boylan’s Fran the Mantis-woman and her Altimarians?
Could we have another virgin birth, another walking on the
water, or even a coming back from the dead? Could we have
another moving star of Bethlehem, which must be the greatest UFO
story ever told?
We might bear in mind that Rome was overcome eventually not by
military means, but by Christian story-software. Yes, David
Icke’s equally fantastic views are pure postmodern software, but
as we can see, a great many people are inclined to believe him.
What “physical” empires will be demolished by the eventual
maturing of such views? The accepted mythological power-trains
(Hollywood, Royalty, Media, Glamour) are surely no less
fantastic than the idea of extra-terrestrial lizards running the
Pentagon.
Salla, Webre and the Exopolitical crowd supported by Project
Camelot have been spinning such SERPO-type tales for many years
now. As a unique flourish, Basiago claimed that he travelled to
Mars in a DARPA time machine! Weekly there are fresh revelations
which tend to reduce Ufology to a form of prototypal
super-entertainment.

on Exopolitics "Child Brides from Outer Space"

The Story
Spectrum
Human beings may be defined as creatures thriving on stories
based on dramatised appeals and fantastic persuasions more than
rationally-considered “objective facts.” Like the Jesus story,
Science is yet another over-blown narrative another, engineered
framework of perception. Ever since the cow jumped over the
moon, similar “absurd” projections have been characteristic of
all traditional accounts of Creation. We cling to these baubles
as a monkey clings to a hot water bottle as a nourishing mother.
Considering that we are paste sticking to a spinning rock in
space, and the death of Steve Jobs has been compared to the
death of Elvis Presley, perhaps the greatest wonder in the
universe is our imagination.
In our modern media-soaked world, mainstream TV inoculation
alone (never mind the myriad other silver screens) has so
blurred Fact and Fiction that the once-cherished concept of the
real has surely gone with the knight’s castle, the Penny
Farthing bicycle, the Peasants Revolt. Even the Holocaust and
the moon landing are challenged. In the Web alone, images,
symbols and statements of material certainty and rational
clarity now look like the wooden ships of long ago. As lost
woebegone viewers, we now look upon statements of cosmic
certainty with bemused nostalgia.
Like it or not, here is the brave new world that is going to
dwarf both Science and Religion, and it’s the image that counts:
The Sun 13th October 2011:
“Marketing experts at Royal Holloway University of London (ed:
did you ever hear of such a thing? Is this a ring road
university?) have applied their mighty brains to explaining the
power of the Simon Cowell/X Factor brand. Their conclusion,
reports the Sun, is that Cowell is akin to a "high priest" who
has tapped in to a human need for ritual and sacrifice. Hmmm. "Cowell
serves as an intermediary between the world of dead-end jobs and
the sacred space of superstardom," said Prof Chris Hackley.”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/mediamonkeyblog/2011/oct/13/simon-cowell-high-priest-x-factorS
Badge of
Shame
All cultures collapse in time because their
advertisements fail to sustain their Product range. The word
“nuclear” (still used by some Ufological physicists as a badge
of honour and achievement) is now a badge of shame. From
Chernobyl to Fukushima, from Three Mile Island to Fallujah, it
is doubtful if the world will recover from such genetic
devastation caused by nuclear physicists and their satanic
manoeuvres. Mass animal experimentation carried out universally
by other scientists completes the picture of a Science which has
lost it way, morally, physically and intellectually. Scientists
now stalk the quads and laboratories just like the Jesus-freaks
of 1400. They all pout and drop pearls of over-rationalised
wisdom as if they had just popped out from the anus of the
Christ-child. Every single one of them thinks they are either
Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton.
There is nothing comparable to these walking pieces of cultural
advertising, with their facts and figures and everlasting
“breakthroughs,” most of which turn out to be absolute
disasters.
But there are now clear signs that Science itself is now
degenerating into a technical support base for Big Media. It
started perhaps with the great vision of Star Trek and it ended
with insect vehicles crawling around sterile planetary deserts.
Certainly, Hammer-and-Anvil science won’t compete in the
image-evolution race.

China Insolvency Wave Begins
As Nation's Biggest Provincial Borrowers "Defer" Loan Payments

"Remember, back in the day, when a bankruptcy was simply called
a bankruptcy? Naturally, this was well before ISDA came on the
scene and footnoted the living feces out of everything by
claiming that a bankruptcy is never a bankruptcy, as long as the
creditors agree to 99.999% losses at gunpoint, with electrodes
strapped to their testicles, submerged in a tank full of rabid
piranhas, it they just sign a piece of paper (preferably in
their own blood) saying the vaseline-free gang abuse was
consensual. Well, now we learn that as the global insolvency
wave finally moves to China, a bankruptcy is now called
something even less scary: "deferred loan payments" (and also
explains why suddenly Japan is going to have to bail China out
and buy its bonds, because somehow when China fails, it is the
turn of the country that started the whole deflationary collapse
to step to the plate). After all, who in their right mind would
want to scare the public that the entire world is now broke?

These .xxx domains are ready
to hook up

"If you always fancied your very own .xxx domain name, it's not
too late: plenty of real estate in the Internet's official red
light district remains unclaimed, CNET has learned.
Kentucky.xxx and NYC.xxx are taken, but Alabama.xxx and
Nashville.xxx are not. WhiteHouse.xxx and NASA.xxx are reserved,
but USDOJ.xxx, Treasury.xxx, DARPA.xxx, and USEmbassy.xxx could
be yours for a mere $100 a year.
High-quality university names also remain unclaimed.
Stanford.xxx, Harvard.xxx, and Princeton.xxx may be off-limits,
but Cornell.xxx, UPenn.xxx, and Tufts.xxx aren't. (Playboy,
which recently published a "Girls of the SEC" feature, take
note.)
That's according to a new analysis by Elie Bursztein, a Stanford
University researcher who found that of the 50,000 most popular
Web sites in the world, only 24 percent have their .xxx
counterpart registered.
"There's been a lot of news about people rushing to buy .xxx,"
Bursztein told CNET today. "But after the dust settled, it turns
out that the data don't agree with the hype."
Early reports suggested that companies and schools were snapping
up .xxx domains to prevent them from being used for pornographic
purposes -- especially, perhaps the types of hardcore parodies
the adult industry is known for."

9/11 Anomalies
As
seen in the "rods" phenomenon, anomalous video artefacts
relating to the digital chips and/or tape used in a given
camera, combined with lens refraction can lead to a less "true"
picture of distant high-speed events, when the footage is slowed
down, frame-by-frame and when the pixels are blown up...or
*does* it?
In these two shots of the planes colliding into the World Trade
Center towers, the second airplane, especially looks more like a
holographic phantasm than a solid object. In both cases, the
explosions relating to the planes' collisions appear to occur
prior to the planes' impact...(?!)
There is a sector of the "Tinfoil Hat" community that alleges
that *no planes* crashed into the WTC, at all; that some kind of
high-tech holograms were used to create these illusions. This
has bred resentment among the families of those who lost loved
ones on those flights.
Having formerly lived one block from the WTC for 8 years until
FEMA told me to leave, I am too traumatized to comment further.
My heart goes out to everyone who lost family and friends on
that tragic day.

problems multiply

There are 56 F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters being
assembled at Lockheed Martin’s facility in Fort Worth. But
because only 20 percent of the testing for the most advanced
fighter-bomber in U.S. history is completed, each will probably
have to get million-dollar-or-more fixes later.
The F-35 is already the most costly U.S. weapons program
underway at about $385 billion. But that figure may go higher
with overrun of the per-plane contract price for the 56 craft
being assembled — along with the future multimillion-dollar
fixes likely to be required for them — and the 15 F-35s
completed but not yet delivered to the military services.
Israel
Israel Cannot
Wage a War against Iran without a "Green Light" from the US
COMBAT DIARIES: Although this article is a typical Leftish sneer
against the Israel/US relationship, it contains nevertheless
interesting information about weapon systems now installed in
the Middle East. These left-wing journalists aught to think
about how long they would last in some of the Muslim states they
appear to love.
In late December 2008, coinciding with the onslaught of Israel's
"Operation Cast Lead" directed against Gaza, the Pentagon
dispatched some 100 military personnel to Israel from US
European Command (EUCOM) to assist
Israel
in setting up a new sophisticated X-band early warning radar
system as part of a new and integrated air defense system. (See
defense.gov/news/, December 30, 2011). The project had been
approved by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in September 2008.
With media attention focussing on Gaza, this crucial military
initiative in the area of US-Israel Air Defense passed virtually
unnoticed. The official story was that Tel Aviv had requested
this aid "to help defend against a potential missile attack from
Iran".
What was at stake, however, was a new threshold, a fundamental
turning point in the structure of Israel's Air Defense system
and its relationship to the US global missile detection system.
Casually heralded as "military aid", the project consisted in
strengthening the integration of Israel's air defense system
into that of the US, with the Pentagon rather than Israel
calling the shots:
"Once fully operational, the system will be capable of tracking
and identifying small objects at long distance and at very high
altitude, including space, according to U.S. Missile Defense
Agency officials. It also will integrate Israel’s missile
defenses with the U.S. global missile detection network.

"I pop therefore I am"

"The United States has a passion for pills, being the world’s
biggest users of psychotropic drugs, consuming 60 per cent of
them. And pharmaceutical firms are keen to keep cashing in on
the multibillion-dollar market, even if it costs people’s
health.
America is regarded as a country with a prodigious appetite for
consumption. Today, a widespread fondness for pharmaceuticals
has turned the US into a nation of pill-poppers.
With over $14 billion in annual sales, antipsychotics remain the
top-selling therapeutic class of prescription drugs in the US."

An

path.
The coordinated attacks struck a dozen mostly Shiite
neighbourhoods on Thursday in the first major bloodshed since
U.S. troops completed a full withdrawal this month after nearly
nine years of war. They also coincided with a government crisis
that has again strained ties between Iraq's Sunnis and Shiites
to the breaking point, tearing at the same fault line that
nearly pushed Iraq into all-out civil war several years ago.

Merry Christmas, Stratfor!
Hackers hand intel outfit own head on plate
On
Christmas Eve, attackers announced that they had broken into
Stratfor’s systems and obtained access to 200 GB of e-mails.
They then extracted information, including Stratfor’s customer
and donor lists along with credit card data on Pastebin. Clients
identified in the list include Goldman Sachs, derivatives trader
MF Global, Apple, and the US Air Force. The successful attack
has been confirmed by Stratfor founder George Friedman in a
letter reproduced at Zero Hedge. While the Zero Hedge post
captures IRC announcements made during the attack that link the
break-in to Anonymous, the collective has posted a statement to
Pastebin denying responsibility. The statement attributes the
attack to “Sabu”, stating that “Sabu and his crew are nothing
more than opportunistic attention whores who are possibly agent
provocateurs. As a media source, Stratfor's work is protected by
the freedom of press, a principle which Anonymous values
greatly.”

Kubrick's Film for NASA?
Uploaded by OvergrowDaGovernment
March 30, 2011
"This film illustrates how the truth can be twisted by the
manipulation of images."

With use of 'hijacked' archival footage,
false documents, real interviews taken out of context or
transformed through voice-over or dubbing, staged interviews, as
well as, interviews with astronauts like Buzz Aldrin and others,
'Dark Side of The Moon' navigates the viewer through lies and
truth; fact and fiction. This is no ordinary documentary. Its
intent is to inform and entertain the viewer, but also to shake
him up - make him aware that one should always view television
with a critical eye.
'Dark Side of The Moon' is written and directed by William Karel
and co-produced by Point du Jour Production and ARTE France.

Unknown Visitors and

Modern Mysteries by Micah Hanks
"The
long sordid history of Forteana is rife with tales of chance
encounters with unsettling weirdos and beasts whose very
existence seems impossible, at very best. Due to the nature of
these strange sorts of visits, it becomes difficult to discern
how much of the mythos that surrounds such beings from the
twilight world of the unexplained is based on pure fact, and how
much could stem from the surreal archetypal realms of the human
mind.
There are curious reports of creeping strangers the likes of the
infamous “Grinning Man,” described by John Keel in his volumes
pertaining to supernatural lore and oddities. There are reports
of “Mad Gassers” that sneak noxious fumes into the homes of the
middle class citizenry through pinhole-sized crevices along the
edges of windows. There are also tales of demons, devils, and
otherworldly goonies that lurch at the unsuspecting as they
wander suburban roadsides during the still moments after the sun
has gone down. While many of these denizens of the shadow realm
might be attributed to various goings on of the physical realm
(if not misidentification or outright hoaxes), one of their
curious propensities relies on their odd tendency to court ill
fortune and disasters… and for many readers of this blog, such
creepy creatures of the night do have a particular name…"

"December 24, 2011 - In January of 2011, we
were told that "spontaneous," "indigenous" uprising had begun
sweeping North Africa and the Middle East in what was hailed as
the "Arab Spring." It would be almost four months before the

uprisings and that they were anything but "spontaneous," or
"indigenous." In an April 2011 article published by the New York
Times titled, "U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings," it
was stated:
"A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the
revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6
Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and
grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in
Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the

Hidden Dragon: The Chinese

Cybercrooks
and patriotic state-backed hackers in China are collaborating to
create an even more potent security threat, according to
researchers. Profit-motivated crooks are trading compromised
access to foreign governments' computers, which they are unable
to monitise, for exploits with state-sponsored hackers. This
trade is facilitated by information broker middlemen, according
to Moustafa Mahmoud, president of The Middle East Tiger Team.
Mahmoud has made an extensive study of the Chinese digital
underground that partially draws on material not available to
the general public, such as books published by the US Army's
Foreign Military Studies Office, to compile a history of hacking
in China. His work goes a long way to explain the threat of
cyber-espionage from China that has bubbled up towards the top
of the political agenda over recent months. The first Chinese
hacking group was founded in 1997 but disbanded in 2000 after a
financial row between some of its principal players led to a
lawsuit. At its peak the organisation had about 3,000 members,
according to Mahmoud. The motives of this so-called Red Hacker
group were patriotic, defending motherland China against its
enemies.

Enron,

In 1985 Drexel Lambert S&L crook Michael
Milken helped Houston Natural Gas merged with Internorth to
create Enron. Kenneth Lay headed Houston Natural Gas and became
chairman and CEO of the new company. Enron was the biggest
corporate contributor to George W. Bush’s campaign to become
Texas Governor. [1]
Bush won and Texas led the way in a nationwide deregulation of
energy markets which Lay advocated.
Deregulation
allowed Lay to pioneer energy trading. By 1999 Enron monopolized
online energy trading via Enron Online. Throughout the political
career of George W. Bush, Lay was his largest financial
supporter, personally giving Bush $650,000.
In 1993 Wendy Gramm, wife of Senate Banking Committee Chairman
Phil Gramm (R-TX), joined the board of Enron where she was chair
of Enron’s Audit Committee. Wendy Gramm
came
to Enron straight from her job as 12-year chair of the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), where she ostensibly aided in
the cover-up of BCCI, Capcom, Mena drug trade and S&L scandals.
At CFTC Gramm’s main task was to oversee the complex derivatives
market, a favorite haven for drug money laundering due to its
opaque nature.
While Wendy was covering tracks at CFTC, husband Phil was busy
blocking key money laundering legislation and pushing for bank
deregulation. He pushed passage of the Commodity Futures
Modernization Act of 2000, which severely reduced government
oversight of the derivative and futures markets.
Enron, where Wendy Gramm now collected a $200,000 per year
stipend, received exclusive regulatory exemptions through the
legislation. Section 101 of the Act granted regulatory exemption
to on-line energy traders. There was only one such entity –
Enron OnLine. One CFTC official stated of Section 101, “everyone
called it the Enron exemption”. [2]

DEBKA Report
Iran starts building a
nuclear weapon: US and Israel tighten cooperation
Iran
has embarked on "activities related to possible weaponization,"
said American sources Thursday, Dec. 22, thereby accounting for
the dramatic reversal of the Obama administration's wait-and-see
attitude on attacking Iran. The change was articulated this week
by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint
US Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey.
debkafile's Washington sources report that the Islamic Republic
crossed the red line President Barack Obama had set for the
United States, i.e., when Tehran begins using the technologies
and fissile materials (enriched uranium) it has amassed for
assembling a bomb or missile warheads. This marks the moment
that Iran goes nuclear and only a short time remains before it
has an operational nuclear weapon.
Washington has always claimed that when the order to build a
weapon was given in Tehran, the United States would know about
it within a short time.
The US stealth drone RQ-170 was sent into Iranian airspace for
the first time to find evidence to support this suspicion. On
Dec. 4 the Iranians downed the unmanned reconnaissance craft by
intelligence or cyber means not yet fully clarified. The US -
and most probably Israel too - then turned to other intelligence
resources to find out what Iran was up to. According to
debkafile's military and intelligence sources, they found
evidence that Iran has in fact begun putting together components
of a nuclear bomb or warhead.

Mathematicians Discover
Secret Formula For Writing A Hit Song

Though math is usually used to tell you if a song was a hit
based on sales, scientists from the University of Bristol
believe they have "The Hit Equation." A group focused on
artificial intelligence developed machine learning algorithms
that mined the characteristics of top hits to develop a formula
for key musical features that determine whether a song will be a
hit.
The lads at the Intelligent Systems Lab, armed with the power of
math, identified 23 features that were considered important from
tempo and loudness to harmonic simplicity vs. non-harmonicity.
Features Included in the Hit Equation
The results are 60% accurate in predicting a top five hit or
below 30 non-hit. They noted that their Hit Equation must be
adjusted somewhat as tastes shift but it's apparently a fairly
gradual process. This particular group of scientists aren't
discussing commercial applications however their public site,
Score a Hit!, suggests entertainment may be a key outcome.
Mark Brown discusses Score a Hit! and related services and
points to Hit Song Science and their site uPlaya. They offer not
only hit analysis but related marketing services designed to
leverage that analysis. I don't know how Hit Song Science does
its magic, but they claim to analyze "fundamental
characteristics of all music" including brightness, tempo and
changes over time, to identify hit potential in relationship to
changing trends. They also identify markets where each song
would be most likely to succeed.
Though I can't recommend the service, the idea of analyzing
songs to identify markets and then providing marketing services
is an interesting application.

The
Sykesville Monster, Carroll County, Maryland
Sykesville,
Maryland - The fear and uncertainty that has gripped residents
here the past two weeks has been intensified by two new reports
of monster sightings received by police Friday.
The "Sykesville Monster" was seen Friday evening by an
out-of-state truck driver who described him vividly.
Of high significance is the fact the 1,400-population town, 20
miles North of Baltimore, Maryland in Carroll County, has jumped
into nationwide headlines in the National AFRO and other news
media. Following the Baltimore zoo assistant director Dr. Ted
Roth called to say that he went to Sykesville and determined the
footprint is by a large human foot "with fallen arches." He said
he would report after he takes another trip to Sykesville to
determine "what the balance of the body may be."
TRUCK DRIVER'S REPORT
According to the truck driver, (who requested anonymity), the
"it" stood approximately seven to eight feet tall and appeared
to be dark brown in color." It could have been a man on stilts."
he said.
The driver stated that whatever it was seemed to be "caked with
mud from the waist down." Although he was unable to pinpoint the
exact location of the sighting, the driver said it appeared to
be sitting down. According to the driver, the "thing", which was
evidently minding its own business, stood, turned around and
sensing danger, dashed into the woods.
As the result of the AFRO story Friday, an investigating
organization, Odyssey Scientific Research, Baltimore, is on the
scene. John Lutz, director of Odyssey, talked to the truck
driver, and said there is an additional witness in Anne Arundel
who reportedly saw the monster.

Deadly strain of Super bird
flu created in a lab
A super-strain of bird flu that could infect and wipe out
millions has been developed in a laboratory. Dutch scientists
who created the ‘Armageddon virus’ say it is ‘probably one of
the most dangerous viruses you can make’. Their research focused
on what it took to convert bird flu – which can kill more than
half of those infected but does not spread easily – into a
highly contagious virus. They said this knowledge would be vital
for the development of vaccines and drugs to prevent a possible
pandemic. But others argue the virus should never have
been created – and warn the potential if it escaped from the lab
is ‘staggering’. There are also fears the recipe will be seized
on by terrorists looking for a biological weapon.

Lost Time and Decay
The Phantom Time Hypothesis

A few fringe professors have caused rumblings with their
controversial claim that three hundred years of human history
have been entirely made up. But why do they believe in phantom
time, and how do they think it happened?
Decay
"The
decay of the built environment has become a subject more of
aesthetic fascination than of fear for many twenty-first-century
Americans. Real communities such as Detroit, pictured in Time’s
2010 photographs and Julian Temple’s documentary “Requiem for
Detroit?” (2010), and Gary, Indiana, seen in David Tribby’s Gary
Indiana: A City’s Ruins (2009), have become fodder for
photographers, bloggers, and artists. Meanwhile, fictional
decayed landscapes are used as a spectacular backdrop to
countless recent apocalyptic movies, from “I Am Legend” (2007)
to “The Road” (2009), even undergoing
transformation into animated form in the children’s film
“Wall-E” (2008). But people who live, or once lived, in the real
landscapes of decay often resent the intrusion of visitors
following a podcast tour through Baltimore neighbourhoods used
as locations for “The Wire,” or the presence of the urban
explorer, wishing that such touristic interest might be followed
by political action aimed at transformation of the material
environment where their communities are based. How can scholars
interested in visual and material culture address the aesthetics
and ethics of this fascination with deterioration? Possible
topics to be addressed in this panel include the ethics of the
representation and simulation of decayed environments; the role
of the urban explorer as proto-archaeologist; historical
perspectives on the visual and material cultural presence of the
decayed landscape; decayed landscapes and their function in
filmic narrative; and decay and its relationship to discourses
of consumer culture."

“While much of the brain remains a mystery, progress has been
made in understanding and reading electrical brain activity were
we can use computers to see how the brain respo nds
to facial expressions, excitement and concentration levels, and
the thoughts of a person without them physically taking any
actions,” wrote Brown.
In 2009 one of Brown’s close colleagues suffered a stroke
leaving him completely paralyzed. Brown introduced him to the
EPOC from Emotiv. Using head sensors, the device can read
electrical brain impulses, and can be trained to take action
based on particular thoughts.
For example, within 8 seconds of testing the device, Brown’s
colleague could move a digital cube on a computer screen with
his thoughts alone.
“The concentration needed whilst operating the headset is quite
a lot, however, so more development of the technology and more
training in using the headset may be needed to make it entirely
effective,” wrote Brown.
According to Brown, scientists at UC Berkeley have designed and
developed a special MRI scan that can model visual thoughts
while subjects are awake or even dreaming.
“By 2017, like all technology, the EPOC or other similar
technologies will probably get smaller,” Brown wrote. “So I can
imagine it will have completely dry sensors, and I'd be wearing
it all the time, perhaps embedded into a baseball cap, and with
a finer range of thought patterns detected and connected
directly to my mobile phone - allowing me to interact with the
world just by thinking particular thoughts.”
Other innovations included on this year’s list are facial
recognition devices that eliminate the need for passwords,
technology to capture human kinetic energy to power a home, more
affordable mobile devices, and the end of junk mail.

The high numbers of dead and ongoing battles in the north came

in a bid to implement an agreement signed by Syrian officials to

are still alive. Libya’s conflict is over, and the man who stood
in the way of Western-style democracy is dead. Yet atrocities
against Muammar Gaddafi’s loyalists continue. The images
emerging from Libya are disturbing.

"I used to firmly believe that we as predators were at the very
top of the food chain. Then, others who also claimed to be
abductees, some of whom I met through Budd Hopkins and his house
"get-togethers," told me horror stories about abductions.
They had seen, met onboard craft, an alien race, frightening
beings who radiated rage and hatred, reptilian alien overlords
of many alien races who abduct humans and who pilot UFOS.
Muscular, winged, sentient, highly technological, upright
standing to seven or eight feet tall, sentient UFO monitor
lizard reptilians who looked upon us, as we fancied veal.
You see, these abductees had somehow also gleaned what reptoids
regular diets consisted of.
It was a chilling story I was to hear repeatedly echoed
elsewhere.

The Dear Leader's Bizarre
Obsession

"Despite Kim’s creative influence on the industry during the
1970s (when he served with the country’s Art and Culture
Ministries) and the fact that he literally wrote the book on
communist film production (1973’s On the Art of the Cinema - Kim
Jong Il), North Korean movies were still terrible. Frustrated,
Kim sought help by forcing 11 Japanese “cultural consultants”
into servitude during the late 1970s and early 1980s, only to
have several die inconveniently on the job (some by their own
hands). But coerced consulting can only get a film industry so
far, and North Korea was still in search of its 'Orson Welles'.
Then, in 1978, respected South Korean director Shin Sang Ok
suddenly found himself out of work after he angered his own
country’s military dictator in a spat over censorship, and Kim
Jong Il saw his chance to harness Shin’s artistry.
Kim promptly lured Shin’s ex-wife and close friend, actress Choi
Eun Hee, to Hong Kong to “discuss a potential role.” Instead,
she was kidnapped.
A distraught Shin searched for Choi, but found himself similarly
ambushed by Kim’s minions. After some “convincing” (by way of
chloroform and a rag) he was whisked away to North Korea. Choi
lived in one of Kim’s palaces, and Shin, having been captured
after an attempted escape only months after arriving, lived for
four years in a prison for political dissidents, where he
subsisted on grass, rice, and communist propaganda."

Fatal problems plague the
F-22 fighter jet
Capt. Jeff Haney was headed back to base in
his F-22 Raptor fighter jet, ripping through the frigid Alaskan
night beyond the speed of sound at more than 1,000 mph, when
things started going terribly wrong.
Packed
tight in cold-weather gear to protect him from the bitter
temperatures, the Air Force pilot pulled back on the control
stick at about 38,400 feet to gain altitude. Then Haney saw his
plane was beginning to fail him.
A caution light glowed green through his night vision goggles,
alerting him that a section of the aircraft was overheating.
Almost instantly, the F-22's onboard computers detected an air
leak in the engine bay and began automatic shutdown of various
systems — including the main oxygen supply.
Gasping for air, Haney set the throttles to idle
and
began lowering the plane to the snow-covered valley below. About
35 seconds later, Haney's plane began to roll upside down. He
couldn't recover. There amid the Talkeetna Mountains north of
Anchorage, Haney, 31, crashed and died.
The crash was another grim episode for the controversial
Lockheed Martin Corp.-made F-22 fighter jet that has been in
service since 2005, yet never called into combat despite
conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. The plane, the
military's most expensive fighter jet, has continued to
experience equipment problems — notably with its oxygen systems.
New details from an Air Force report last week drew attention to
the November 2010 crash and raised questions about the F-22 and
the way the Air Force has dealt with the plane's ongoing oxygen
problems.

Magic and Mystery
Is the Shroud of Turin
"supernatural?"
  
Italian government scientists have claimed to have discovered
evidence that a supernatural event formed the image on the Turin
Shroud, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
After years of work trying to replicate the colouring on the
shroud, a similar image has been created by the scientists.
However, they only managed the effect by scorching equivalent
linen material with high-intensity ultra violet lasers,
undermining the arguments of other research, they say, which
claims the Turin Shroud is a medieval hoax. Such technology, say
researchers from the National Agency for New Technologies,
Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (Enea), was far
beyond the capability of medieval forgers, whom most experts
have credited with making the famous relic. "The results show
that a short and intense burst of UV directional radiation can
colour a linen cloth so as to reproduce many of the peculiar
characteristics of the body image on the Shroud of Turin," they
said. And in case there was any doubt about the preternatural
degree of energy needed to make such distinct marks, the Enea
report spells it out: "This degree of power cannot be reproduced
by any normal UV source built to date." A statement by lead
researcher, Dr Paolo Di Lazzaro, said: "If our results prompt a
philosophical or theological debate, these conclusions we'll
leave to the experts; to each person's own conscience," he said.

names CMU's Veloso an Einstein Chair Professor

Manuela M. Veloso who this summer will become
president of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI), is the only AI and robotics researcher
among this year's Einstein Chair Professors. Her lectures will
focus on symbiotic autonomy, a concept she is pioneering in
which robots are aware of their perceptual, physical, and
reasoning limitations and proactively ask for help from humans.
Symbiotic autonomy is employed by several robots, called CoBots,
that her research
group
has deployed on the Carnegie Mellon campus. The CoBots can
navigate on their own through hallways while delivering or
fetching messages and packages, but must ask people for help
when confused or for performing manipulation tasks such as
opening doors or pushing elevator buttons.
Veloso is well known for her work on robot soccer, which is an
important research tool for studying how autonomous agents can
work cooperatively in complex, uncertain environments. She is
past president of the International RoboCup Federation, which
sponsors annual world championships in robot soccer.

Alan Turing: Mathematician,
master codebreaker and father of computer science, Alan Turing
was a genius touched by tragedy
COMBAT DIARIES: Tragedy? Rubbish! Instead of giving Turing
a University Department and a open cheque, les anglais (who hate
cleverness of any kind) smashed his machine (Colossus) to pieces
in 1945 and tortured him to death.
"Alan
Turing was one of those remarkably brilliant men who had a
profound influence upon the development of several fields. He
was a talented mathematician who, during World War II, used his
prodigious abilities and skills to break German ciphers for the
British government's Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park.
To do this, he invented a number of electromechanical
instruments to help narrow down possible solutions to these
ciphers to a manageable number for further investigation. These
instruments are recognised as the foundation of computers, which
are essential foundations of current civilisation.
Dr Turing then became interested in artificial intelligence and
devised the so-called "Turing Test", to define whether a machine
is "intelligent". In short, this test is based on the idea that,
if a human could not distinguish a machine from another human
being by talking to it, the machine was defined as being
"intelligent". Besides being useful in the field, the Turing
Test is generally useful, often being applied to politicians and
to commenters on the internet."

Mars visitors Basiago and
Stillings confirm Barack Obama traveled to Mars
By Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd
Two
former participants in the CIA’s Mars visitation program of the
early 1980’s have confirmed that U.S. President Barack H. Obama
was enrolled in their Mars training class in 1980 and was among
the young Americans from the program who they later encountered
on the Martian surface after reaching Mars via “jump room.”
Andrew D. Basiago, 50, a lawyer in Washington State who served
in DARPA’s time travel program Project Pegasus in the 1970’s,
and fellow chrononaut William B. Stillings, 44, who was tapped
by the Mars program for his technical genius, have publicly
confirmed that Obama was enrolled in their Mars training class
in 1980 and that each later encountered Obama during visits to
rudimentary U.S. facilities on Mars that took place from 1981 to
1983.
Their astonishing revelations provide a new dimension to the
controversy surrounding President Obama’s background and pose
the possibility that it is an elaborate ruse to conceal Obama’s
participation as a young man in the U.S. secret space program.

the new super intelligent future humanity, or artificial

Of course, among the readers of this blog, most of us are
already thinking, “wait, what do you mean when that happens?
Those kinds of things are happening right now!” In truth, this
has been happening for quite some time… but what, pray tell,

this doesn’t really make any sense. However, to those who

Russia shooting: Dagestan
journalist Kamalov shot dead
A gunman has shot and killed the founder of a
newspaper that reports on corruption and police abuses in
Russia's southern republic of Dagestan. Gadzhimurat Kamalov was
hit by a hail of bullets outside the offices of his newspaper
Chernovik late on Thursday, in Dagestan's capital Makhachkala.
Violence is rife in Dagestan, where police have been battling
Islamist insurgents since the 1990s. Chernovik staff have been
"persecuted", a US-based media watchdog says.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) called Kamalov's
violent death "a massive loss for independent journalism in the
North Caucasus, Russia's most dangerous place for reporters".
The CPJ says Russia has one of the worst records in the world
for attacks on journalists, with 18 unsolved press murders since
2000. The weekly Chernovik - meaning "rough draft" - was founded
by Kamalov in 2003. He was its editor for several years and
remained its publisher until his death.

Speaking to Jewish Audience,
Obama Reiterates Record on Israel
Washington,
Dec. 16 – President Obama strongly defended his administration’s
“unshakeable” relationship with – and support for – Israel in a
speech today to a major American Jewish group.
“No U.S. administration has done more in support of Israel's
security than ours,” Obama told delegates to the Union for
Reform Judaism’s Biennial convention. “Don' let anyone else tell
you otherwise. It is a fact."
Before the speech, Obama met on the sidelines of the conference
with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who had already spoke
at the convention, for about a half hour.
The President has used similar lines to rebut critics in the
past, as in late November at an exclusive fundraiser with Jewish
donors in New York City. “This administration – I try not to pat
myself too much on the back – but this administration has done
more in terms of the security of the state of Israel than any
previous administration,” he said then.

Are We Living Inside a Brain? (Neural
Architecture of the Akashic Records)
Penfield, Life Reviews and
the Akashic Records
In
the 1930s and onwards, neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield developed a
surgical procedure for epileptics in which he operated on a
patient’s exposed brain while the patient remained fully
conscious. When an electrode was placed on the patient’s
temporal lobe, the patient had a complete flashback to an
episode from earlier in his life. (Applying the electrode to
other parts of the brain did not produce this.) The scenes
always moved forward, and only forward. If music was involved,
this followed the precise original tempo; the full score of
which the patients would be able to hum with total accuracy —
much as an autistic savant would be able to reproduce music with
almost complete accuracy — like a recording on a video or
compact disc.
Penfield, in his book The Mystery of the Mind recounted, “They
were electrical activations of the sequential record of
consciousness, a record that had been laid down during the
patient's earlier experience. The patient ‘re-lived’ all that he
had been aware of in that earlier period of time as in a
moving-picture 'flashback'.” He said, "Each time I
re-stimulated, she heard the melody again. It began at the same
place and went on from chorus to verse." Penfield concluded that
the brain stores everything its owner has ever experienced in
its original form. The flash-backs seemed to play themselves out
in their proper order like scenes in a movie. "Since the
electrode may activate a random sample of this strip from the
distant past," he reasoned, "and since the most unimportant and
completely forgotten periods of time may appear in this
sampling, it seems reasonable to suppose that the record is
complete and that it does include all periods of each
individual's waking conscious life".
Apocalypse
Guardians of the Apocalypse
For the uninitiated, existential risk is a
broad term covering catastrophic events that could wipe out the
human species. Some existential risk devotees agonize over
nuclear wars, climate change, and virus outbreaks. Others, such
as Rick Schwall, put more energy into worrying about the
potential downside of information technology. They fret about a
super-powerful artificial intelligence run amok and hordes of
killer nanobots. “There are a number of people who have
knowledge in this field that estimate humanity’s chance at
making it through this century at about 50 percent,” Schwall
says. “Even if that number is way off and it’s one in a billion,
that’s too high for me.”

Intervention Theory
A New eBook By Lloyd Pye
Intervention Theory challenges Creationism,
Intelligent Design, and Evolution, by offering plausible
explanations for many of the conundrums left unanswered by those
other theories. The new eBook takes the same aggressive approach
as EYKIW, showing how and why so much of what mainstream science
professes is not just wrong, but blatantly, willfully wrong,
often in the face of evidence that would be overwhelming in any
court in the world. Its revelations are astonishing, but they
are presented in simple terms and concepts easily grasped by
anyone.
A
Basic Guide to the Intervention Theory of Origins—of the
Universe, of Life, of Hominoids, and of Humans
Since Lloyd Pye published his seminal book, Everything You Know
Is Wrong (EYKIW), in 1997, his fact-based, no-nonsense
explanation of origins has developed a devoted international
following. In the years since EYKIW was written, there have been
so many advances and new discoveries that rather than updating
it, Lloyd decided to break his update into several completely
new eBooks, starting with Intervention Theory Essentials. It
details Lloyd's alternative views about Origins---of the
universe, of life itself, and especially of humans and
hominoids, all of which are inextricably linked together in ways
nobody fully understands, least of all the scientists who claim
to understand precisely that.

There were approximately 10-12 highway patrol in the back and
the front of this truck blocking off the road. The news that
evening stated that it was a drone for the Navy. I am very
familiar with all of our military drones and this craft looks
like nothing that is of public knowledge. It had no wings, like
all of our drones do. It was shaped just like a disc, and was
stablized with bars that were also shrink wrapped so it would
stay on the truck. In my opinion, who ever issued the
statement
made a mistake. Because saying that it is a drone, ackknowledges
that it flies and to my knowledge our military has no craft like
this that flies. I have 3 pictures of the craft, from various

Amazing pictures of militants in boot camp learning how to
become suicide bombers and wage jihad
Associated Press reporter, photographer and
videographer Ishtiaq Mahsud spent six days with fighters from
the Pakistani Taliban close to the Afghan border. His following
account of their travels through South Waziristan offers a
fascinating insight into an area that the Pakistani military
claimed had been brought under control after an army offensive
two years ago. For 15 hours, we walked with Taliban fighters
through territory supposedly controlled by the Pakistani army
and frequently pounded by U.S. drone strikes. Avoiding roads and
towns, we easily evaded soldiers and were shown recruits
drilling with weapons, militant positions and - from a distance
- a compound used by foreign fighters. The rare trip to South
Waziristan revealed the resilience of militants in the
northwestern tribal areas, some of whom are also battling
American soldiers across the frontier in Afghanistan.

"commander vows: 'Our suicide bombers will
use their bones as bullets and their blood as fuel'

Corruption
New Banksy anti-Christian
artwork goes on display to highlight 'lies, corruption and abuse
of Church'
A
sculpture of a 'vandalised' priest by the underground artist
Banksy has gone on display today alongside 17th-century Old
Masters. The artist, known for his graffiti on the streets of
cities across the world, has created Cardinal Sin, a replica of
an 18th-century stone bust which has had the face sawn off and
replaced with a mosaic of bathroom tiles. The effect is to
replicate the pixellation techniques used in the media to
prevent identification of victims of sex crimes. It is
believed Cardinal Sin is a comment on the sexual abuse scandal
which has engulfed the Catholic Church. The sculpture has been
placed alongside works by Van Dyck and Poussin at the Walker Art
Gallery in Liverpool.
The Walker unveiled the priest sculpture to the public today
after it was given on indefinite loan by the artist. It has
never been seen in public before. In a statement issued by the
gallery on behalf of the mysterious artist, Banksy said: 'I love
everything about the Walker Gallery - the Old Masters, the
contemporary art, the rude girl in the cafe.
'And when I found out Mr Walker built it with beer money, it
became my favourite gallery.
'The statue? I guess you could call it a Christmas present.

Crowdsourcing to predict the
future of computing
Summary: An experiment in predicting the
future using crowdsourcing has predicted advances in technology,
wireless, cloud intelligence, artificial intelligence and the
mutation of super viruses. When do you think that cars that
drive themself will be the norm, or that you will be able to
have a continuous wireless connection to the Internet through
your brain? When will computer viruses spontaneously evolve?
When will we be able to use some form of ‘Universal Translation
tool’ to communicate with your peers across the globe each
speaking in your own language?
The New York Times imagines that the ‘future’ will actually
begin in 2020, and has been running a crowdsourcing experiment.
Science Times has been running an experiment, asking its readers
to predict when events will occur.

Preparedness or Paranoia?

"The last ten years have woken most thinking people up to the
fact that if there is ever a serious breakdown of systems and/or
society locally, regionally, or nationwide - we're on
our own.
The difference between having a positive outcome and a negative
one in these kinds of situations is knowledge and skill, most of
all skill."
Isaac Newton
Newton's
Original Notebooks Now Online
  

Cambridge University Library holds the largest and most
important collection of the scientific works of Isaac Newton
(1642-1727). We present here an initial selection of Newton's
manuscripts, concentrating on his mathematical work in the
1660s. Over the next few months we will be adding further works
until the majority of our Newton Papers are available on this
site.
Newton was closely associated with Cambridge. He came to the
University as a student in 1661, graduating in 1665, and from
1669 to 1701 he held the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics. Under
the regulations for this Chair, Newton was required to deposit
copies of his lectures in the University Library. These, and
some correspondence relating to the University, were assigned
the classmarks Dd.4.18, Dd.9.46, Dd.9.67, Dd.9.68, and Mm.6.50.
In 1699 Newton was appointed Master of the Mint, and in 1703 he
was elected President of the Royal Society, a post he occupied
until his death.
Science as Show Business
Supermassive black
hole will 'eat' gas cloud
"Researchers have spotted a giant gas cloud
spiralling into the supermassive black hole at our galaxy's
centre. Though it is known that black holes draw in everything
nearby, it will be the first chance to see one consume such a
cloud."
