When we listen to a person speaking or read a page of print, much of what we think we see or hear is supplied from our memory. We overlook misprints, imagining the right letters, though we see the wrong ones; and how little we actually hear, when we listen to speech, we realize when we go to a foreign theatre; for there what troubles us is not so much that we cannot understand what the actors say as that we cannot hear their words. The fact is that we hear quite as little under similar conditions at home, only our mind, being fuller of English verbal associations, supplies the requisite material for comprehension upon a much slighter auditory hint.

Musical Harmony also is not destitute of the gifts of the Stars; for it is a most powerful imaginer of all things, which whilst it follows opportunely the Celestial bodies, doth wonderfully allure the Celestial influence, and doth change the affections, intentions, gestures, motions, actions and dispositions of all the hearers, and doth quietly allure them to its own properties, as to gladness, lamentation, to boldness, or rest, and the like; also it allures Beasts, Serpents, Birds, Dolphins to the hearing of its pleasant tunes.

[Nov. 11th, 2008|02:54 pm] |
...To conclude, let me mention briefly one nonelectronic analogue computer from the early 1950s. The Phillips machine was a hydraulic simulator of a national economy. It wasn’t particularly accurate by modern standards (about 5%) – but, as mentioned above in the context of electronic analogue computers, accuracy was not necessarily the prime concern. In the Phillips machine monetary flows (income, tax, even foreign exchanges) were represented by flows of coloured water. Up to seventh-order systems could be simulated.
Seeing the machine working is different from pictures of it, as those who have seen the machine working readily attest. Spectators could not only see the red water streaming through the pipes, but also hear the bubbling and splashing as it ran through the machine. They were able to see not a 2-D picture or system of equations, or even a static 3-D representation, but the kind of interrelated and dynamic causeeffect changes over time that economists suppose to happen in the circular flow of the aggregate economy. The working machine was a 4-D representation.

"Few men desire liberty; the majority are satisfied with a just master." ~Sallust
If your courage and fidelity had not been sufficiently proved by me,
this favorable opportunity would have occurred to no purpose;
mighty hopes, absolute power, would in vain be within our grasp; nor
should I, depending on irresolution or ficklemindedness, pursue
contingencies instead of certainties. But as I have, on many remarkable
occasions, experienced your bravery and attachment to me, I have
ventured to engage in a most important and glorious enterprise. I am
aware, too, that whatever advantages or evils affect you, the same
affect me; and to have the same desires and the same aversions, is
assuredly a firm bond of friendship.
What I have been meditating you have already heard separately. But my
ardor for action is daily more and more excited, when I consider what
our future condition of life must be, unless we ourselves assert our
claims to liberty. For since the government has fallen under the
power and jurisdiction of a few, kings and princes have constantly
been their tributaries; nations and states have paid them taxes; but all
the rest of us, however brave and worthy, whether noble or plebeian,
have been regarded as a mere mob, without interest or authority, and
subject to those, to whom, if the state were in a sound condition, we
should be a terror. Hence, all influence, power, honor, and wealth, are
in their hands, or where they dispose of them: to us they have left only
insults, dangers, persecutions, and poverty. To such indignities,
O bravest of men, how long will you submit? Is it not better to die in
a glorious attempt, than, after having been the sport of other men's
insolence, to resign a wretched and degraded existence with ignominy?
But success (I call gods and men to witness!) is in our own hands.
Our years are fresh, our spirit is unbroken; among our oppressors, on
the contrary, through age and wealth a general debility has been
produced. We have therefore only to make a beginning; the course of
events will accomplish the rest.

I mean the Reality of It all. Ninety percent of It is all lies and Illusion fed to Us to keep Us in tow and subservient to the Controllers. All this without even knowing the larger picture of Who really runs the show.
Simply put and I may regret this but I cannot contain this in good conscience anymore. In the end - I would rather die saving My Soul than Live selling It. More and more feel this...
Where do I start - Hmmm,
- Its 2015 right now, not 2008 (YEP).
- We're an Engineered Species. They would call it Uplifted.
- They view Us as a Slave Race created by Them, and We were.
- We're essentially in the middle of a Family Squabble that has gone on for at least 200 000 years.
- There is NO Prime Directive. They view Our perception of Us having a Free-will choice as a Laugh. In Higher Dimensions - Yes - But that is a whole other account.
- While We share some of their DNA - They do not view Us as Equals AT ALL.
- They have Bases on the Moon, Mars, other Planets in this Solar System, and Elsewhere.
- They will not allow a Nuclear War. The Earth is viewed of as Their possesion. We are only another Animal in Their Garden and will not be allowed to run amok to the extent that We destroy Their Garden...
- We have no real Governments. They are all a sham and are controlled behind the Scenes by those Self Appointed to Rule over Us for Our own Good.
- Religion has been a useful tool at Controlling Us and It will be used further to manipulate.
- By 2012 (Actually 2020 or so) Massive Contact will be made to save or Harvest enough of the Stock to save the Species. You can't have the Controllers having to go back to work and do what was given to those created for It - Us namely...
My sorrow is for others. Can I prove this. No - But then if I could actually prove it to all of You - I'd likely be taken out of the picture for doing so.
That They let Me get Information out at all says that I and others are being ALLOWED to do so on purpose. Thats gotta cook Your noodle a bit as well...

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

~Year 2005~
Earth will not be the place to reincarnate.
Coasttocoast AM said in a past show, that a high tech cannibal from the future, was spotted by a witness, while going to a Halloween party.
Wit said being paralyzed him, but conveyed telepathically, that he was indeed a cannibal from future.
2. Zeta Reticulans from Project Serpo, at their homes, did not want their children photographed.
It is not understood why, unless they are human souls forces to be in Serpoans?
Another problem is, that on Earth, our children are meddled with by a number of agencies, horribly.
Something’s funny there?
3. Angels in the Andreessen Affairs and Watchers series of book, have shown to have spatial time orientation problems, in both understanding and communicating with mankind.
*It seems that newly patriated angels, that know Earth can appear at times, and communicate more readily with Earth humans.
PROBLEM: Zeta Reticulans are postHeisenbergian. They don’t have the lateral abilities in understanding or coping with humans in certain ways. They too do not understand Earth society at large.
They are going by their past experience, which by Khyla, a Procyionian alien nord, said was a result of their past atomic war and overtechnicalization.
If their actions are planned to make Earths history unfold as theirs did by enforcing their past on Earth, then this might be wrong.
4.The very past wizards’ wars caused tremendous galactic destructions. Wizards were a wave in semi-mankind’s advancement. A group of wizards were sent to England to bolter England’s biolustre, which was a part of the agreement, with the angelic hierarchies and the wizard kingdoms, as an act for their past wars.
This was an agreement and signed to.
The Masons found this out, thought it was a point of access for control, and undid some aspects of this biolustre treatment, that a certain sect of off world wizards did for England.
I don’t think that they knew what they were doing, nor the implications of what would happen after they meddled in this area.
England is slated to end up a desert in the future.
5.On the provisional God-post and problems with a local officiate wanting this position.
There is a provision that a local to the area where a God base such as Luca mentions in her books, can handle the God plan area, as they are accustomed to it, opens as a position of employment.
The problem with Earth’s future is, that it will have become so morbid, that the position is not psychologically acceptable.
In our realm this would go under the (hostile and unacceptable workplace restrictions, imposed by the occupational health and safety act and the per-scripts, put forwards by the American Department Of Labors).
I’m sorry, this sort of job, if opened as an adjunct position, would be an unsatisfactory employment position.
The job, posiding over high tech cannibals, while they choose their next victims, is unacceptable!
6.The Grays robots, seem to be at this time, the only beings that Earthlings could get along with.
This seems so, as these beings fit under the Microsoft guideline robotics act, which is a 1970s character document, which says, that computers are good, can get along with mankind and since computer get to know man, then man if he understands computers, can also get along with computers.
I’m not saying one way or another that anything is right or wrong here.Im merely disclosing the issues at hand so that others can understand them.
If mankind does not find off world alliances, other than a planned enforment, then more than likely, he will have turned into a very decrepit creature. |

Act boldly and unseen forces will come to your aid.

Ночью мне приснилось, что я сделал себе харакири. Вспорол живот и с удивлением смотрел, как из меня капля за каплей вытекает жизнь. Но я не умер. Рана быстро затянулась и я продолжил свое путешествие по странному и сумрачному миру.
По утру я заглянул в сонник и увидел буквально следующее:
"Если во сне вы сами делали себе харакири, значит, повышенную требовательность вы проявляете к себе самому, что тоже, как говорится, палка о двух концах - недовольство окружающих может стать причиной ваших самоистязаний. Поймите: нет на свете человека, который бы всегда и всем был доволен. Сейчас у кого-то плохое настроение, завтра он будет без ума от вас."
Есть над чем подумать.
Позже, днем, меня охватил дух ревизионерства и я начал просматривать свой журнал в поисках нестыковок.
При всей моей любви к гуглу - я понял, что ненавижу youtube и идиотские права на интеллектуальную собственность. Когда я стану президентом планеты, то обязательно займусь этим вопросом очень основательно.
Я считаю, что если видеоклип показали по телевидению в открытом доступе - то он автоматически должен становиться доступным всем для просмотра через планетарные информационные сети. Извлечение средств на основе того, что человеческие существа умеют двигаться во времени только в одном направлении, я считаю незаконным.
Но нет! Почему-то ненавистные цензоры так не считают. Это привело к тому, что часть моих записей оказалась нелепыми картинками при нажатии на которые получаешь обломное сообщение о том, что это видео больше не доступно.
Чем Enigma и FSOL лучше (хуже) Shade или Orbital мне неизвестно, но их творчество всё же осталось. Итак вывод - все свои видеофайлы буду хранить у себя.

As mentioned in the book, The Andreessen Affairs part two, there was a wrongful abduction, of an Earth humanoid, intended for wrongful religious impressment.
This action was it was said performed by the gem robotoids, who worked for the Elders, a division of the Angelic hierarchies.
This action, carefully put, must have been a information miscarrying, within the Gems or the God mainframe computer.
This computer, may include sets, that are several miles long, which are part of the God base here.
This action in mistake, indicates that in order to understand Earthbased mankind, or spiritually tend to those who believe, that a certain type of computer is necessary.
Because this action was published and noted within a book, as being irregular, then parts of the God contract, might be invalid?
*Please note as a counterbalance to this saying, a sect of the reptoids, more similar to mankind here on Earth, contacted an artist who was jogging.
This artist was taken to another frequency and invited into a repotoid home.
This invitation was made to show Earthman, how the reptoids lived.
This sect of reptoid, was not it seems a member of the said warrior sect, known as the Alpha Dackonians, or other sects of reptoids.
This meeting was a good action, as elements of trust were shown to exist between human and reptoid humanoid.
*The future is broadcast that war may come and thre wholesale extermination of Earthbased mankind may commence.
If this happens, then a sect of reptoids, will have lost their equanimity, as being balanced on Earthbased mankind, as their equal nonsame dimensional counterparts, will have been exterminated.
So actually this situation is invested, as reptoid against reptoid.
*Consolidation of publication.
There was a flaw in the God Angelic computer, so contracts and belief systems as therefore stated, it seems are no longer valid.
Two, that reptoids themselves, are not aware of what each faction is doing? |

- Тогда подумайте вот над чем. Мне передали этот листок утром в понедельник перед входом в кабинет Л. М. Теперь я показываю его вам. Потом я собираюсь спрятать его в бумажник и носить с собой до тех пор, пока съемки фильма не будут завершены. Затем я перемещаюсь назад во времени для того, чтобы доставить картину Л. М. У дверей его кабинета я встречаю прежнего себя, достаю из бумажника чертеж и передаю его себе, чтобы он был положен в бумажник, и так далее. Вы видите в этом какой-нибудь смысл?
- Конечно. Мне кажется, нет никаких оснований для беспокойства.
- Ах, никаких оснований? Но ведь если все это так, значит никто не делал чертежа! Он просто путешествует в моем бумажнике, и я передаю его самому себе. Ну-ка, объясните это!
- В этом нет никакой необходимости, объяснение кроется в самом чертеже. Этот лист бумаги представляет собой самостоятельно существующее временное кольцо. Никто не делал этого чертежа. Он существует потому, что существует, и это вполне достаточное объяснение. Если вы хотите понять, что к чему, позвольте проиллюстрировать на примере. Вам известно, что у любой бумаги есть две стороны. Однако если вы возьмете полосу бумаги, повернете один ее конец на сто восемьдесят градусов и соедените концы, то перед вами окажется кольцо Мёбиуса - полоска только с одной стороной. Она существует. Сколько бы вы не твердили, что это невозможно, ничего не изменится. Факт налицо. То же самое можно сказать о вашем чертеже - он существует.
- Но... откуда он взялся?
- Если вам так уж нужно это знать, то можно сказать, что он взялся из того самого места, куда делась пропавшая сторона кольца Мёбиуса.

| Moon-walker claims alien contact cover-up |
[Jul. 24th, 2008|09:32 pm] |
July 24, 2008 12:01am
FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens exist.
radio record: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27xg1vY6h7I
NASA response: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP8cALWhzUk
And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.
Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.'
He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
Chillingly, he claimed our technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned "we would be been gone by now".
Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.
"I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real," Dr Mitchell said.
"It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.
"I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit."
Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.
He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction."
Mr Margerrison said: "I thought I'd stumbled on some sort of astronaut humour but he was absolutely serious that aliens are definitely out there and there's no debating it."
Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.
In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.
'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

Психоделическая картинка, мерцающая реальность, города, время течет словно река из воска - горячее, тягучее, застывающее прошлым, разламывающееся на куски прошедшим. Нечеткие силуэты, стены из сломаных формул и поверженых мечтаний.
Геометрии пляшут под моими ногами, в моих зрачках отражаются звезды, мои ладони изменяют поток, сердце стучит ровно.
В общем-то выбора уже не осталось, времени тоже, впереди слышен шум водопада - обрушающиеся потоки белого воска формируют мириады нитей, которые, застывая, разбиваются на осколки и вскипают пузырями небесного цвета.
Горечь специи течет по моей гортани. Звуки наполняются новыми измерениями, каждая нота может быть услышана по новому, на знакомой дороге появляются новые повороты и здания изменяют свои привычные очертания.
Серебряные корабли в небе. Светлячки и золотые огненные драконы в облаках, изумрудная поляна, которая начинается прямо за твоей смертью. Не трогай эти кнопки, они выключают реку, облака и лес. Что находится за этим полем, что скрывается за поющими холмами.
Да, я получил ответ, я расшифровал послание - прямая передача технологии и энергии из мира А в мир Б. Всё как мы и предполагали, но приблизило ли это нас к цели. Кто готов пожертвовать чем и ради чего, и есть ли хоть что-нибудь за пределами черепной коробки - где та кнопка возле которой написано твое имя.
Хаос, я искал темноту и не нашел ее. Галактика и черная дыра - я записан на горизонте событий, меня вобрала в себя вечность из которой нет выхода.
Песок блестит и песчинки исчезают и появляются. Кварцевые камушки стучат друг о друга, между ними пробегают фиолетовые разряды, в этой бесконечности самое томительное - это ожидание. Ведь ждать приходится бесконечно, но времени нет - впереди уже слышен шум водопада. Упасть одной из нитей, пронестись сквозь райские отражения или выбрать самый страшный мир - тот в котором скорее всего и живешь ты, в котором нефть определяет завтрашний день, в котором машины и люди слились в единый киберорганизм, в котором нигде и никогда смешались, и мечты, разбитые на осколки из рифм и картинок, лежат забытые на обратной стороне луны.
Встать и пойти или сидеть и продолжать писать формулы, расчитывать показатели и индексы, еще один день в борьбе с глобальным монстром, пожирающим мое время, мое время, которого осталось так мало до водопада.
Эксперимент, который поставили прямо здесь наши предки или потомки с трудом поддается описанию, тут запущен в действо невероятный механизм, огромные жернова перемалывающие души, создающие миры и желания, безумные машины желаний и исполнения каждой прихоти о которой дозволено мечтать.
Если вы не можете мечтать - это не важно, за вас мечтаем мы. Мы довели этот процесс до совершенства. Пользуйтесь услугами, принимайте это лекарство каждый день и яркие картинки каждого дня наполнят Ваш персональный мир целями и смыслом.
Будущее, я слышу твой шепот, будущее, ты сокрыто за занавесом, который так нелегко приподнять, но приподнявший его в этом мире уже никогда не обретет покой. Безумие бродит по твоим пятам страждущий, безумие ищет тебя чтобы обрести над тобой свою власть и проверить тебя на прочность.
Не поддавайся этому напору - всегда можно сохранить точку опоры и отсчета - она находится где-то в детстве. Там, где впервые загорелся огонек, там где самый первый день смешался с самой первой ночью, которую ты можешь вспомнить, там где запах луговых трав и ночное небо и журчащий ручей и пение ночных птиц и шорохи ночных духов слились воедино чтобы вспыхнуть жизнью.
Города, проплывайте мимо меня, я горю огнем, который слишком горяч для вас. Пустыня и ангелы, скрижали с неземными буквами, мое небо - я смотрю в бесконечность огней над моей головой, я уже почти привык к тому, что навсегда останусь одиноким во вселенной полной жизни.
Но иногда, в такие ночи как эта, я слышу шепот с другой стороны. Я прижимаюсь ухом к стене из воздуха и темноты и почти чувствую как кто-то, с другой стороны тоже говорит эти слова, тоже рисует волшебные знаки в воздухе и тоже чувствует горечь специи.
Однажды я или кто-то другой всё-таки найдет способ и дверь отворится и мы поймем, что не одиноки. |

| Water fuel car unveiled in Japan |
[Jun. 14th, 2008|02:17 pm] |
Kouji Kariatsumari, Nikkei Electronics Genepax Co Ltd explained the technologies used in its new fuel cell system "Water Energy System (WES)," which uses water as a fuel and does not emit CO2.
The system can generate power just by supplying water and air to the fuel and air electrodes, respectively, the company said at the press conference, which took place June 12, 2008, at the Osaka Assembly Hall.
The basic power generation mechanism of the new system is similar to that of a normal fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. According to Genepax, the main feature of the new system is that it uses the company's membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which contains a material capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction.
Though the company did not reveal the details, it "succeeded in adopting a well-known process to produce hydrogen from water to the MEA," said Hirasawa Kiyoshi, the company's president. This process is allegedly similar to the mechanism that produces hydrogen by a reaction of metal hydride and water. But compared with the existing method, the new process is expected to produce hydrogen from water for longer time, the company said.
With the new process, the cell needs only water and air, eliminating the need for a hydrogen reformer and high-pressure hydrogen tank. Moreover, the MEA requires no special catalysts, and the required amount of rare metals such as platinum is almost the same as that of existing systems, Genepax said.
Unlike the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), which uses methanol as a fuel, the new system does not emit CO2. In addition, it is expected to have a longer life because catalyst degradation (poisoning) caused by CO does not occur on the fuel electrode side. As it has only been slightly more than a year since the company completed the prototype, it plans to collect more data on the product life.
At the conference, Genepax unveiled a fuel cell stack with a rated output of 120W and a fuel cell system with a rated output of 300W. In the demonstration, the 120W fuel cell stack was first supplied with water by using a dry-cell battery operated pump. After power was generated, it was operated as a passive system with the pump turned off.
This time, the voltage of the fuel cell stack was 25-30V. Because the stack is composed of 40 cells connected in series, it is expected that the output per cell is 3W or higher, the voltage is about 0.5-0.7V, and the current is about 6-7A. The power density is likely to be not less than 30mW/cm2 because the reaction area of the cell is 10 x 10 cm.
Meanwhile, the 300W fuel cell system is an active system, which supplies water and air with a pump. In the demonstration, Genepax powered the TV and the lighting equipment with a lead-acid battery charged by using the system. In addition, the 300W system was mounted in the luggage room of a compact electric vehicle "Reva" manufactured by Takeoka Mini Car Products Co Ltd, and the vehicle was actually driven by the system.
Genepax initially planned to develop a 500W system, but failed to procure the materials for MEA in time and ended up in making a 300W system.
For the future, the company intends to provide 1kw-class generation systems for use in electric vehicles and houses. Instead of driving electric vehicles with this system alone, the company expects to use it as a generator to charge the secondary battery used in electric vehicles.
Although the production cost is currently about ¥2,000,000 (US$18,522), it can be reduced to ¥500,000 or lower if Genepax succeeds in mass production. The company believes that its fuel cell system can compete with residential solar cell systems if the cost can be reduced to this level. |
